Based Camp - The 2nd Trump Shooter is Weirdly Relatable (Even to Trump Supporters Like Us)

00:00:00.000 I wonder, I don't think I'm that much crazy.

00:00:03.160 Like if I had less access to resources than I have

00:00:06.140 or less access to public respect than I have

00:00:08.380 and I needed to get people to pay attention

00:00:11.080 to certain topics, 0.95

00:00:12.400 could I be seen as as crazy as this guy

00:00:14.680 in a different timeline? 0.99

00:00:15.980 You're probably seen as more crazy than this guy. 0.87

00:00:18.040 He did not try to start a religion. 0.98

00:00:20.180 Oh, that's true.

00:00:20.860 Yeah.

00:00:21.140 Yeah. 0.75

00:00:21.660 I'm definitely more crazy than him.

00:00:23.560 Would you like to know more?

00:00:24.900 Hello, Simone. 0.69

00:00:25.800 I'm excited to be talking with you today.

00:00:27.260 We just had a another presidential assassination attempt

00:00:31.100 in the United States.

00:00:33.000 I was wondering whether or not I should cover this

00:00:35.900 and sort of my takeaway has been

00:00:38.060 there just hasn't been a lot of good

00:00:40.340 comprehensive coverage of this.

00:00:42.140 And so whether it's the first debate

00:00:43.880 or the first assassination attempt,

00:00:45.680 I have found in our content,

00:00:47.860 it's usually like the most comprehensive coverage

00:00:50.500 of the subjects that I'm able to find online.

00:00:53.800 And I take a bit of pride in that.

00:00:55.140 So even when I can't be pointlessly controversial,

00:00:58.440 it's worse putting stuff like this together.

00:01:00.740 But I will yet be pointlessly controversial

00:01:04.660 because I'm going to argue,

00:01:06.820 I actually kind of like this guy.

00:01:09.640 Oh, that's nice.

00:01:11.160 I don't think he's a bad guy.

00:01:12.860 I think he's trying to assassinate a president.

00:01:15.540 But I, a conservative, am like,

00:01:18.640 yeah, but change a few priors

00:01:22.300 and what, you know,

00:01:23.660 this is actually a pretty brave thing to do.

00:01:25.600 Now.

00:01:25.920 That's what I've heard.

00:01:27.240 What one free press writer said about him,

00:01:30.340 roughly speaking, I'm paraphrasing here, 0.95

00:01:32.560 was that he was crazy,

00:01:35.140 but most people were just kind of like,

00:01:36.860 yeah, I get it.

00:01:37.500 Like good cause.

00:01:38.400 He's crazy, but he's fighting for a good cause.

00:01:40.360 And that he reminded her of a character

00:01:43.720 played by Brad Pitt.

00:01:44.940 She is thinking of the movie Burn After Reading.

00:01:48.140 Brad Pitt played a character

00:01:49.420 who was a personal fitness trainer

00:01:51.260 trying to attack the CIA or something

00:01:53.800 and was kind of clueless.

00:01:55.340 And basically he reminded her of that

00:01:57.740 and she didn't think that he'd do anything crazy like this,

00:01:59.980 but he did.

00:02:00.480 What's she going to do?

00:02:01.540 Well, I mean,

00:02:01.940 and we've seen the rehabilitation

00:02:03.720 of specific crazy people recently as well,

00:02:06.380 like the Unabomber, 0.99

00:02:07.880 where this is actually-

00:02:08.620 Oh, now everyone loves the Unabomber.

00:02:11.260 What's up with this?

00:02:11.980 I mean, I disagree with his actions,

00:02:13.660 but the Unabomber's Manifesto,

00:02:15.940 now that's something we need to talk about here.

00:02:17.720 Why is this such a trendy thing now?

00:02:19.660 This is so crazy.

00:02:21.160 No, he's considered,

00:02:22.660 it's weird.

00:02:23.700 He's considered,

00:02:24.640 like I hear about the Unabomber's Manifesto

00:02:26.760 probably as much as I hear about

00:02:27.860 Curtis Yarbin these days.

00:02:29.420 And Nixon.

00:02:30.100 Everyone's in love with Nixon now too.

00:02:32.060 What's up with that?

00:02:33.180 I was always in love with Nixon.

00:02:34.440 He was a genius of his time.

00:02:35.840 Did you know that Nixon was

00:02:36.060 Stephen Colbert's favorite president?

00:02:37.760 No way.

00:02:38.720 Yeah, he was.

00:02:39.700 Nixon was a genuinely good president,

00:02:42.240 just a little crazy.

00:02:43.940 Actually, probably one of the best presidents

00:02:45.980 in American history.

00:02:47.720 Normalizing relations with China 0.99

00:02:49.340 for the future of like the next 50 years

00:02:52.520 was nothing but genius.

00:02:54.000 And that is not something

00:02:55.060 that naturally would have happened.

00:02:56.600 Oh yes.

00:02:57.400 Am I outing myself as a Kissinger fan as well?

00:03:00.160 What you need is a second in command

00:03:01.800 who understands the intricacies

00:03:03.360 of organized villainy.

00:03:05.300 Perfect.

00:03:06.040 You're hired.

00:03:07.080 Number.

00:03:08.060 Number Killinger. 0.72

00:03:09.600 Dr. Henry Killinger.

00:03:11.100 And this is my magic murder bug.

00:03:13.880 No, you are the magic man.

00:03:16.660 Wow.

00:03:17.220 I suggest you put that

00:03:18.200 into a high yield mutual fund.

00:03:20.240 Now, if you'll excuse me,

00:03:21.720 I have much work to do.

00:03:23.000 Well, let's get back to,

00:03:24.020 let's get back to the assassination.

00:03:25.420 Sunday, September 15th, 2024.

00:03:30.020 Shortly before 2 p.m.,

00:03:31.320 the incidents occurred

00:03:32.300 at Trump's golf course

00:03:33.940 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

00:03:35.620 Trump was out golfing at the time.

00:03:38.520 He was playing hole five.

00:03:41.000 Now, I am going to put on screen

00:03:42.740 a picture of where Trump

00:03:44.960 was on the golf course

00:03:46.180 and where the guy was aiming

00:03:47.740 at him on the golf course.

00:03:49.040 During the incident,

00:03:50.900 Ryan Wesley Ruth

00:03:52.000 was hiding in the bushes

00:03:54.400 in this area

00:03:55.420 I am showing on the map here.

00:03:57.820 Okay.

00:03:58.680 Agents saw his rifle

00:04:01.140 peeking out of the bushes.

00:04:02.940 It was an AK-47 variant

00:04:05.180 and they fired

00:04:06.680 four to five rounds

00:04:08.300 at the suspect.

00:04:09.820 At which point,

00:04:11.120 well, the suspect, Ryan,

00:04:12.600 fired four to five rounds

00:04:13.620 at Ryan,

00:04:14.060 at which point,

00:04:14.640 Ryan began to run.

00:04:16.580 He ran to a car.

00:04:17.780 He had,

00:04:18.760 and I will show you

00:04:19.500 where it is on the map here,

00:04:21.320 right next to where

00:04:22.260 he was hiding,

00:04:23.200 and he was actually

00:04:24.140 able to escape.

00:04:25.820 And we're going to talk about,

00:04:26.840 like,

00:04:27.220 people aren't talking about

00:04:27.980 what a Secret Service failure

00:04:29.080 this was,

00:04:30.120 but it was.

00:04:30.900 When he ran,

00:04:32.140 he dropped a GoPro,

00:04:34.180 the rifle,

00:04:35.440 and his weapon scope.

00:04:38.060 So,

00:04:38.760 the,

00:04:39.360 the,

00:04:39.780 he got really far

00:04:41.880 before they caught him.

00:04:43.700 Nice.

00:04:44.220 Wow.

00:04:44.800 I feel like,

00:04:45.420 nice.

00:04:46.000 Like,

00:04:46.520 I mean,

00:04:47.000 this guy clearly has

00:04:48.560 a very American

00:04:49.980 can-do spirit.

00:04:51.620 So,

00:04:52.160 he,

00:04:52.420 he shot at Trump

00:04:53.480 in Mar-a-Lago.

00:04:54.220 You've been to Miami,

00:04:55.040 right?

00:04:55.360 He made it.

00:04:56.120 Palm Beach.

00:04:57.080 Yeah,

00:04:57.280 yeah,

00:04:57.420 yeah.

00:04:57.560 He made it above,

00:04:59.200 like,

00:04:59.880 Fort Lauderdale

00:05:00.820 before they caught him.

00:05:01.860 I mean,

00:05:02.340 honestly,

00:05:02.880 that's just a Christmas miracle

00:05:04.360 making it through

00:05:05.120 Palm Beach traffic.

00:05:06.320 Palm Beach is a nightmare.

00:05:07.560 Remember when we,

00:05:08.160 that's what I was thinking of.

00:05:09.080 Like,

00:05:09.280 how did he get out of it?

00:05:10.700 when we,

00:05:10.720 when we were driving,

00:05:12.040 because we,

00:05:12.460 we had a rental car,

00:05:13.420 right?

00:05:13.780 When we went to Mar-a-Lago,

00:05:15.040 we had a rental car?

00:05:15.820 Yes,

00:05:16.280 we did.

00:05:17.100 And it took us,

00:05:18.040 like,

00:05:18.320 an hour

00:05:19.380 to get,

00:05:20.560 like,

00:05:21.740 two miles or something. 0.90

00:05:23.140 It was ridiculous. 0.88

00:05:24.660 Oh, 0.95

00:05:24.880 absolutely.

00:05:25.460 I'm,

00:05:25.680 I'm,

00:05:25.960 I'm,

00:05:26.240 I'm kind of amazed

00:05:26.920 that I'm also kind of amazed

00:05:27.680 that the,

00:05:28.080 the Sea Retour didn't get him.

00:05:29.660 So the Secret Service

00:05:30.340 was able to-

00:05:30.980 And all they did was walk

00:05:32.280 and get his,

00:05:33.560 like,

00:05:33.720 stalled car.

00:05:34.700 Yeah,

00:05:34.880 right?

00:05:35.480 No,

00:05:35.720 but no,

00:05:36.020 no,

00:05:36.180 but he had made it out

00:05:37.080 of the Miami traffic zone.

00:05:38.780 Gee,

00:05:39.340 what,

00:05:39.960 what were they doing?

00:05:41.960 Like,

00:05:42.240 they were only able

00:05:45.320 to catch him easily

00:05:46.300 because of a,

00:05:48.360 a picture of his license plate

00:05:50.640 that someone took,

00:05:51.600 right?

00:05:51.980 Captured by a civilian 0.81

00:05:54.320 who saw him running away,

00:05:56.520 which also,

00:05:57.200 you've got to keep in mind

00:05:58.020 how,

00:05:58.340 like,

00:05:58.520 weird this is,

00:05:59.440 right?

00:06:00.020 So this was at the,

00:06:01.360 it's not like Trump

00:06:02.140 was giving a speech

00:06:03.160 or something.

00:06:03.900 No,

00:06:04.060 he was just golfing.

00:06:04.960 at the golf course

00:06:06.080 to capture his license plates

00:06:07.900 he would have had to be

00:06:08.860 outside of the golf course.

00:06:10.900 So this is a civilian

00:06:12.000 who heard gunshots

00:06:13.420 in the golf course,

00:06:14.540 was outside of the golf course,

00:06:16.580 and in the presence of mind

00:06:17.900 to take pictures

00:06:18.760 of the plates of this guy.

00:06:21.380 Yeah.

00:06:22.520 That's,

00:06:22.920 that's,

00:06:23.240 that's kind of wild.

00:06:24.440 There's a lot of Karens out there. 1.00

00:06:25.940 See a car driving slightly weird

00:06:27.600 and,

00:06:28.200 gotta take a picture

00:06:28.940 of that license plate

00:06:29.860 and send it to the authorities

00:06:30.900 even though the authorities

00:06:31.800 never do anything

00:06:32.720 for our other con.

00:06:33.800 Yeah,

00:06:33.980 so what has this guy

00:06:34.860 been charged with?

00:06:35.720 He's been charged with

00:06:36.420 possession of a firearm

00:06:37.640 as a convicted felon

00:06:38.740 and possession of a firearm

00:06:40.400 with an obliterated serial number.

00:06:42.220 Not potentially trying

00:06:43.600 to shoot the president,

00:06:44.480 which is, 1.00

00:06:46.080 That's sweet.

00:06:47.420 Okay,

00:06:47.880 pretty interesting.

00:06:48.900 Well,

00:06:49.120 I mean,

00:06:49.340 all we have is this cartoonish scene

00:06:51.200 where people see

00:06:52.000 the end of a rifle

00:06:53.700 poking out of a bush

00:06:54.920 and then a guy running away.

00:06:56.700 I guess that's not enough.

00:06:57.720 No,

00:06:57.860 what I want to know

00:06:58.400 is how did the,

00:06:59.260 how,

00:06:59.500 how,

00:06:59.860 how?

00:07:01.660 After the last attempt,

00:07:02.940 did the secret service

00:07:04.520 take this guy down?

00:07:05.980 They fired five shots at him.

00:07:07.780 He was 300 feet away.

00:07:08.860 It was through bushes,

00:07:10.200 Malcolm.

00:07:10.700 They're,

00:07:10.960 I'm sure,

00:07:11.400 very dense bushes.

00:07:12.800 The bushes are there

00:07:13.600 for privacy.

00:07:14.340 They are not in bushes.

00:07:15.140 You can see them on video.

00:07:16.520 Oh, really?

00:07:17.060 The fact that,

00:07:17.640 I don't,

00:07:18.080 I don't put the picture

00:07:18.820 on the screen here

00:07:19.420 of where this guy was.

00:07:20.420 The fact that the secret service

00:07:21.960 couldn't shoot him,

00:07:23.080 like the DEI BS

00:07:25.300 of the secret service

00:07:26.080 because now it's like

00:07:26.820 manned by a woman 0.95

00:07:27.580 and you know 0.99

00:07:28.300 that a woman 0.98

00:07:28.960 was not the most qualified person.

00:07:30.560 She hasn't resigned.

00:07:31.460 I figured she would have resigned

00:07:32.480 after the post.

00:07:32.860 Oh,

00:07:33.040 I'll see if she's resigned

00:07:33.880 in post.

00:07:34.300 She did in fact resign,

00:07:36.280 not that it really matters

00:07:37.360 because there hasn't been

00:07:38.820 enough time to

00:07:39.860 put a real person

00:07:41.520 in charge of this

00:07:42.380 and fire all the

00:07:43.400 terrible DEI hires

00:07:44.960 that were made

00:07:45.740 under her command.

00:07:46.740 No,

00:07:47.020 they haven't really

00:07:47.960 increased his details

00:07:48.960 significantly since

00:07:49.740 the last assassination attempt

00:07:50.740 and keep in mind

00:07:51.340 before that assassination attempt

00:07:53.060 the Democrats were trying

00:07:53.960 to even further

00:07:55.040 roll back

00:07:55.700 his secret service details,

00:07:58.060 some senators were,

00:07:59.060 to almost nothing.

00:08:00.180 to basically attempt

00:08:01.580 to get him assassinated

00:08:02.460 and I think that

00:08:03.020 that's basically

00:08:03.660 the zone we're in now

00:08:04.680 where they are trying

00:08:06.680 to get this guy assassinated

00:08:08.220 but, 0.54

00:08:09.240 sorry,

00:08:09.900 what are you going to say?

00:08:11.380 How do you suppose

00:08:12.560 this gentleman

00:08:14.120 came to understand

00:08:15.500 that Trump

00:08:16.080 would be golfing

00:08:16.960 at that time?

00:08:18.680 Just he watched

00:08:19.360 motorcades or something?

00:08:20.200 Yeah,

00:08:20.220 he does it every day.

00:08:21.520 Oh.

00:08:23.660 Whoops.

00:08:24.480 Trump apparently

00:08:25.220 has a pretty routine

00:08:27.220 golf habit,

00:08:28.180 so.

00:08:28.620 He's probably autistic, 1.00

00:08:30.640 isn't he?

00:08:31.540 Yeah.

00:08:31.840 He's tone deaf enough

00:08:32.760 and routine enough

00:08:33.640 and with his,

00:08:34.300 his,

00:08:34.700 his dietary habits

00:08:35.940 and his golf

00:08:37.360 and his son

00:08:38.120 who is wisely.

00:08:40.640 Well, you know,

00:08:40.800 he eats fast food

00:08:41.180 at McDonald's

00:08:42.020 to not be poisoned

00:08:43.060 and I think a lot of people

00:08:44.180 Right,

00:08:44.340 but also,

00:08:44.980 doesn't he like the,

00:08:46.100 you know,

00:08:47.460 consistency?

00:08:48.580 A lot of people heard that

00:08:49.700 and they're like,

00:08:50.160 that's a crazy thing to do.

00:08:51.340 When you now realize

00:08:52.720 how little the Secret Service

00:08:54.000 actually has his back,

00:08:55.380 I'm like,

00:08:55.760 that's not crazy at all.

00:08:57.340 Like,

00:08:57.840 that's probably the only reason

00:08:59.360 he's alive.

00:09:00.600 Yeah,

00:09:00.840 but also,

00:09:01.440 there's just a lot of things

00:09:02.420 about him that seem autistic to me,

00:09:03.920 like him thinking the White House 0.99

00:09:05.280 is a shithole, 0.97

00:09:06.140 kind of because it's not 0.99

00:09:07.140 his personal space.

00:09:08.700 You know,

00:09:08.820 and it's old

00:09:09.360 and kind of green.

00:09:10.280 What I'm going to do

00:09:10.940 is I'm going to turn

00:09:11.540 the full White House

00:09:12.400 into a museum

00:09:13.320 and I will live

00:09:14.260 in a trailer

00:09:14.900 behind the White House.

00:09:16.600 You would.

00:09:17.260 You totally would.

00:09:18.260 No,

00:09:18.620 I believe that the president

00:09:19.880 needs to show

00:09:20.640 a sign of austerity

00:09:21.780 to the American people

00:09:23.020 and a sign of generosity

00:09:24.440 by giving his house to them

00:09:25.820 and I think that

00:09:26.960 that would be

00:09:27.480 a very positive signal

00:09:29.040 and would keep me focused

00:09:30.740 on the task at hand

00:09:32.680 instead of indulging

00:09:34.520 in this big mansion,

00:09:35.840 which I do not think

00:09:36.600 is befitting

00:09:37.160 of the leader

00:09:37.680 of the free world.

00:09:38.860 I think that the leader

00:09:40.020 of the free world

00:09:40.620 should be living

00:09:41.220 with a degree

00:09:41.860 of elective austerity.

00:09:44.740 Counter argument

00:09:46.080 when dealing

00:09:48.660 with foreign

00:09:51.160 national leaders,

00:09:53.020 it is important

00:09:54.560 that we present

00:09:55.980 a representative

00:09:57.060 of our nation

00:09:57.980 who comes across

00:09:59.000 as formidable

00:10:00.720 and someone who lives

00:10:03.200 and no,

00:10:05.140 I'm not knocking on

00:10:06.360 anyone who lives

00:10:06.940 in a trailer right now,

00:10:07.920 but I just would argue

00:10:10.100 that the trappings

00:10:11.280 of living in a trailer

00:10:13.160 are not as formidable

00:10:14.380 as the trappings

00:10:15.380 of someone living

00:10:16.040 in the White House.

00:10:16.680 I disagree really strongly

00:10:17.760 on this point.

00:10:18.400 I think that even

00:10:19.260 in other countries,

00:10:20.360 they understand

00:10:21.440 the discipline

00:10:22.360 of austerity

00:10:23.180 and they respect it

00:10:24.540 and I think we saw this

00:10:25.740 with the leader.

00:10:26.160 Yeah, but that means

00:10:26.720 you sleep on the floor

00:10:27.620 in the bowling alley.

00:10:29.740 I mean, that's,

00:10:30.740 who was that?

00:10:31.520 Was it Frederick the,

00:10:33.300 it was a Frederick

00:10:34.220 of Prussia, right?

00:10:35.460 Who, sorry about Indy,

00:10:37.120 who like,

00:10:38.960 was very austere.

00:10:40.540 He was a Prussian king,

00:10:41.980 wasn't he?

00:10:42.320 Or was he Russia?

00:10:43.820 I don't remember.

00:10:44.460 You know who I'm

00:10:44.840 talking about.

00:10:45.620 Just incredibly,

00:10:46.460 like, gruel every day,

00:10:49.320 amazing military leader

00:10:50.720 and was just insanely austere,

00:10:53.760 but definitely was a king

00:10:55.660 who did that.

00:10:56.640 In other words,

00:10:57.680 Frederick William

00:10:58.340 projected an air

00:10:59.460 of hyper-masculinity,

00:11:01.020 Calvinist piety,

00:11:02.160 and frugal financial habits.

00:11:04.000 And naturally,

00:11:04.820 he wanted his eldest

00:11:05.820 surviving son,

00:11:06.880 Frederick,

00:11:07.520 nicknamed Fritz,

00:11:08.600 to grow up

00:11:09.220 to be just like him, 0.97

00:11:10.480 a hyper-virile 0.94

00:11:11.520 religious soldier king

00:11:12.680 to use the great instrument

00:11:14.160 of Prussian military power

00:11:15.620 that he'd created.

00:11:17.200 Now,

00:11:17.540 the first six years

00:11:18.420 of Fritz's life,

00:11:19.420 he'd lived with his mother.

00:11:20.700 And under her care,

00:11:21.760 young Fritz developed

00:11:22.680 what his father considered

00:11:23.920 worrying habits.

00:11:25.480 Fritz loved music

00:11:26.300 and books.

00:11:27.100 He grew incredibly close

00:11:28.400 to his older sister,

00:11:29.600 Wilhelmina,

00:11:30.340 enjoyed poetry,

00:11:31.500 philosophy,

00:11:32.380 opera,

00:11:32.880 and learned to play the flute.

00:11:34.560 Worse than that,

00:11:35.500 it was the transverse flute

00:11:37.100 recently invented

00:11:38.200 in France.

00:11:39.480 Oh,

00:11:39.760 Frederick William

00:11:40.400 hated France

00:11:41.360 and was known

00:11:42.100 to fly into a rage

00:11:43.200 if the country

00:11:43.840 was even mentioned.

00:11:45.220 The French,

00:11:45.740 he said,

00:11:46.340 were decadent 0.77

00:11:47.020 and effeminate.

00:11:48.320 So imagine his consternation

00:11:49.880 when Fritz,

00:11:50.800 who was tutored

00:11:51.520 in French and German

00:11:52.700 simultaneously,

00:11:53.900 took to French

00:11:54.640 as his first language

00:11:55.660 and struggled

00:11:56.440 with his native German.

00:11:57.520 But I think part of that

00:11:59.540 was just his badassery

00:12:00.940 and his austerity,

00:12:02.920 but he didn't do stunts.

00:12:05.360 And I think that

00:12:06.040 a trailer stunt

00:12:07.400 would in itself

00:12:08.420 seem indulgent

00:12:10.080 and non-austere.

00:12:12.240 No, because you're doing it

00:12:13.580 with utility.

00:12:14.680 Like, you're arguing

00:12:15.200 there's no utility gain

00:12:16.320 from this.

00:12:16.940 If you were able to turn

00:12:17.960 the full White House

00:12:19.040 into an accessible museum

00:12:20.840 at all times of day,

00:12:22.580 that is a great gift

00:12:23.940 to the American people.

00:12:25.360 You're acting like

00:12:26.320 it's being done

00:12:27.160 with no benefit

00:12:28.200 or just for performative austerity

00:12:30.320 when it's not.

00:12:31.840 This is something

00:12:32.360 the American people

00:12:32.980 should have always

00:12:34.360 had access to

00:12:35.100 and don't have access to.

00:12:37.000 And you could choose

00:12:38.760 the location of it

00:12:39.680 to be something safer

00:12:40.780 than the existing White House.

00:12:42.120 Oh, you're trailing.

00:12:43.020 Down on security details.

00:12:44.860 That the White House

00:12:45.780 is in such an exposed location

00:12:47.440 increases the cost

00:12:49.260 of the security

00:12:50.000 around it dramatically.

00:12:51.300 Or you could do

00:12:52.860 some kind of

00:12:53.760 Elon Musk

00:12:56.320 homeless billionaire thing

00:12:57.620 where you just

00:12:58.300 crash on the couch

00:12:59.460 of a foreign national leader

00:13:01.120 every week.

00:13:02.280 You know, every night

00:13:02.920 you're like,

00:13:03.280 hey, sleep on your couch.

00:13:05.020 And then, you know,

00:13:05.560 it develops

00:13:06.280 international relations.

00:13:07.820 You know,

00:13:07.980 you build some rapport

00:13:08.920 with these people, right?

00:13:11.000 Yeah.

00:13:11.180 Kind of forces it.

00:13:12.700 State congressman's houses.

00:13:14.100 You know, you're really

00:13:14.460 building alliances.

00:13:15.400 Actually, that would be cool

00:13:17.160 is if you couch surfed

00:13:18.920 with your domestic

00:13:21.360 and international

00:13:22.300 liaisons.

00:13:23.320 People would love hosting you.

00:13:24.560 That, see, that I'm for.

00:13:26.100 I'm for couch surfing.

00:13:27.960 I'm not for the trailer.

00:13:30.760 But I am for the couch surfing.

00:13:32.300 I believe in living

00:13:33.780 in solidarity.

00:13:35.060 Well, then couch surf. 0.96

00:13:36.520 There's loads of homeless Americans

00:13:38.540 who don't even have a trailer.

00:13:39.580 But anyway, we're going to continue here

00:13:40.320 was what happened to him

00:13:40.980 after this, okay?

00:13:41.680 Fine.

00:13:42.520 How did we get here?

00:13:43.920 Good God.

00:13:45.140 So in his first appearance

00:13:46.460 in a West Palm Beach

00:13:48.100 federal courtroom

00:13:48.760 because he survived.

00:13:50.660 Wow, he's already in court.

00:13:52.320 Jeez, it's been a day.

00:13:54.600 He was wearing a Navy

00:13:55.700 blue prison jumpsuit

00:13:57.040 and shackles.

00:13:58.340 He appeared subdued,

00:13:59.640 respectful,

00:14:00.560 and in good spirits.

00:14:01.840 He could be seen laughing

00:14:02.900 at times

00:14:03.560 with his public defender.

00:14:05.100 Public defender.

00:14:05.820 That's great.

00:14:06.600 Yeah, and we're going to talk about

00:14:07.400 why he has a public defender

00:14:08.480 because that's actually

00:14:08.960 pretty interesting as well.

00:14:10.040 He spent all his money on guns

00:14:11.160 and has passed felony charges.

00:14:13.320 Yeah.

00:14:13.440 He has a felony charge

00:14:14.640 for possessing a weapon

00:14:15.960 of mass destruction.

00:14:17.340 And that's just an automatic rifle,

00:14:18.800 right?

00:14:19.520 Yeah, it was just

00:14:20.180 an automatic rifle.

00:14:21.060 So I'll recount the story here.

00:14:22.240 December 2002,

00:14:24.700 in Greensboro News

00:14:27.860 and Record,

00:14:28.560 recounts an incident

00:14:29.340 in which Rouse was pulled over

00:14:30.800 during a traffic stop

00:14:31.720 on Sunday night.

00:14:33.220 He, quote,

00:14:33.680 put his hand on a firearm,

00:14:35.460 end quote,

00:14:36.100 and drove to his roofing business

00:14:39.040 where he barricaded himself

00:14:40.380 inside for three hours.

00:14:41.480 The weapons of mass destruction charge

00:14:43.460 pertained to a fully automatic machine gun,

00:14:45.400 it reported.

00:14:46.260 It was a fully automatic weapon.

00:14:48.320 He was charged

00:14:49.280 with several misdemeanors

00:14:50.520 and felonies

00:14:51.360 between 2001 and 2010,

00:14:53.340 including a hit-and-run offense,

00:14:55.020 carrying a concealed weapon

00:14:56.560 and possessing stolen goods.

00:14:58.600 Separately,

00:14:59.200 North Carolina judicial records

00:15:00.900 list Rouse as a defendant

00:15:02.180 in over half a dozen court cases

00:15:03.900 between 1991 and 2016,

00:15:06.400 including tax delinquencies

00:15:07.940 and bad checks.

00:15:09.200 So this is just a guy

00:15:10.060 who wasn't making a lot of money.

00:15:11.620 He made mistakes,

00:15:13.680 but, I mean,

00:15:14.460 hit-and-run,

00:15:15.340 you know,

00:15:15.980 this is one of these things

00:15:16.980 where, like,

00:15:17.460 maybe,

00:15:18.160 but maybe not,

00:15:19.440 you know,

00:15:20.100 I don't know.

00:15:21.600 He just seems like

00:15:22.400 a typical guy.

00:15:25.200 This isn't like

00:15:25.920 a driving while intoxicated

00:15:27.420 or something,

00:15:28.160 right?

00:15:28.920 Which, by the way,

00:15:30.040 who has one of those,

00:15:31.720 Kamala Harris's VP,

00:15:33.360 where you could have 0.92

00:15:34.040 actually killed someone

00:15:35.300 for, like, nothing.

00:15:36.160 This is, like,

00:15:36.700 a bunch of, like,

00:15:37.360 random drug charges

00:15:39.320 and somebody who's poor

00:15:40.800 struggling to get by

00:15:41.980 type charges, okay?

00:15:43.660 So,

00:15:44.400 Mr. Rouse is particularly

00:15:45.800 well-known

00:15:46.480 for being really,

00:15:47.900 and his main cause

00:15:48.860 and this thing

00:15:49.280 that drove him to this

00:15:50.120 is he is incredibly

00:15:51.940 pro-Ukraine.

00:15:53.420 Mm-hmm.

00:15:55.280 And he is also

00:15:56.980 pro-Palestine,

00:15:58.260 which, you know,

00:15:58.800 ick.

00:15:59.360 Oh, I didn't know.

00:16:00.780 Okay.

00:16:01.180 He's pro-Palestine, 0.98

00:16:02.340 he's pro-Taiwan,

00:16:03.420 and he has a bunch

00:16:05.300 of anti-Chinese messages

00:16:07.000 on his profile.

00:16:08.720 He actually accuses

00:16:10.280 China of biological warfare 1.00

00:16:12.340 for the COVID-19 virus,

00:16:15.220 which he saw as an attack.

00:16:17.140 And so,

00:16:18.140 this guy,

00:16:19.200 he went to Ukraine

00:16:21.340 to try to help them

00:16:23.680 in the war,

00:16:24.400 and I'll read some quotes

00:16:25.400 about this.

00:16:26.380 Mm-hmm.

00:16:26.880 So,

00:16:27.600 Mr. Rouse,

00:16:28.060 who had no military experience,

00:16:29.300 told the New York Times

00:16:29.900 in 2023

00:16:30.440 that he had traveled

00:16:31.260 to Ukraine

00:16:31.780 immediately after Russia's 0.51

00:16:33.100 invasion in 2022

00:16:34.520 to find military recruits

00:16:36.180 among Afghan soldiers

00:16:37.440 who had fled the Taliban.

00:16:39.200 He seems to be involved

00:16:40.320 in recruitment efforts

00:16:41.380 as recently as this summer,

00:16:42.540 writing on his Facebook

00:16:43.220 in July,

00:16:44.300 quote,

00:16:44.620 soldiers,

00:16:45.140 please do not call me.

00:16:46.040 We are still trying

00:16:46.640 to get Ukraine

00:16:47.180 to accept Afghan soldiers

00:16:48.480 and hope to have some answers

00:16:50.420 in the coming months,

00:16:51.520 dot, dot, dot.

00:16:52.440 Please have patience,

00:16:53.700 end quote.

00:16:54.740 And he was never,

00:16:55.780 what ended up being

00:16:56.940 the primary stumbling block

00:16:58.520 for him

00:16:58.980 is he had this plan

00:17:00.620 to take people

00:17:02.200 from struggling nations

00:17:03.580 like Afghanistan 0.93

00:17:04.400 where, like,

00:17:05.040 you know,

00:17:05.620 you have corrupt governments

00:17:06.620 and it's really bad

00:17:07.320 to live there

00:17:07.940 and get them visas

00:17:09.200 to live in Ukraine,

00:17:09.980 which could be

00:17:10.520 a marginally better country

00:17:11.860 in exchange for

00:17:13.780 them fighting

00:17:15.040 military service

00:17:16.320 or

00:17:16.820 and pay around that,

00:17:18.700 which,

00:17:19.400 honestly,

00:17:20.060 like,

00:17:20.940 if you believe

00:17:23.320 in the Ukrainian cause,

00:17:24.720 which I do,

00:17:26.080 right,

00:17:26.340 that's not 0.93

00:17:28.120 stupid. 0.96

00:17:31.040 Yeah, 1.00

00:17:31.520 but what I had thought

00:17:32.880 he was doing,

00:17:33.480 which I thought

00:17:33.880 would be a little bit

00:17:34.680 smarter,

00:17:35.420 is to create

00:17:37.060 a band of mercenary

00:17:38.380 Americans

00:17:39.860 who just want to go fight,

00:17:41.580 who bring their own guns.

00:17:42.880 That's why I thought

00:17:43.440 he had an automatic

00:17:44.500 firearm

00:17:45.600 on an almost,

00:17:47.560 like,

00:17:47.900 war tourism basis

00:17:49.000 because I,

00:17:50.760 No, no, no.

00:17:51.260 His plan,

00:17:51.740 no, I mean,

00:17:52.140 it's a good,

00:17:52.860 it's a better plan

00:17:53.760 than the plan

00:17:54.180 you just outlined.

00:17:54.840 Yeah,

00:17:55.080 that is a more,

00:17:56.340 yeah,

00:17:56.640 like an actual,

00:17:57.500 like,

00:17:57.740 policy-based

00:17:58.760 plan.

00:17:59.680 To take a country

00:18:01.160 that is worse off

00:18:02.640 than Ukraine today

00:18:03.800 and where a lot of people

00:18:05.400 have military experience

00:18:06.780 and move them to Ukraine 0.83

00:18:08.460 and keep in mind,

00:18:09.620 this was not his first plan.

00:18:11.480 His first plan

00:18:12.800 was to join

00:18:13.540 the Ukrainian military himself.

00:18:15.200 Yeah.

00:18:15.500 They wouldn't allow him

00:18:16.720 when he arrived in Kiev

00:18:17.780 because he was,

00:18:20.160 one, old

00:18:20.660 and, two,

00:18:21.280 didn't have military experience.

00:18:23.100 And so then he tried

00:18:23.940 the next best thing.

00:18:25.380 So if you want to understand,

00:18:26.180 like,

00:18:26.440 why I respect this individual

00:18:27.940 in a way,

00:18:28.860 he's literally trying

00:18:30.360 a bunch of logical things

00:18:31.940 to achieve an objective

00:18:33.140 he sees as morally right.

00:18:35.160 Well,

00:18:35.380 and he's putting his money

00:18:36.260 where his mouth is.

00:18:37.400 Well,

00:18:37.580 he's putting his life

00:18:38.380 where his mouth is.

00:18:39.160 He's really,

00:18:40.180 when he sees a problem,

00:18:41.420 he personally appears

00:18:42.740 to do everything

00:18:43.480 that he can to solve it

00:18:44.580 despite being a man

00:18:45.680 of clearly limited means.

00:18:47.480 Yeah,

00:18:47.680 and despite everyone

00:18:49.000 working against him,

00:18:49.920 he went to Ukraine,

00:18:51.300 they told him no.

00:18:52.140 He's like,

00:18:52.480 what?

00:18:53.000 Okay,

00:18:53.340 you need people

00:18:53.920 with military experience,

00:18:54.940 I'll find them for you

00:18:55.800 in other countries

00:18:56.320 and I'll bring them here.

00:18:57.580 And then they said-

00:18:57.960 Now that doesn't make it okay

00:18:58.940 to attempt to shoot

00:18:59.920 a former president. 0.94

00:19:01.400 Well,

00:19:02.400 consider it from his perspective,

00:19:04.380 okay?

00:19:05.280 I used to be,

00:19:07.060 you know,

00:19:07.540 up until now,

00:19:08.260 I've been fairly pro-Ukraine.

00:19:09.680 I say this is the cheapest war

00:19:10.940 America's ever caught.

00:19:11.620 I'm not pro-Ukraine 1.00

00:19:12.260 because I give shit 0.99

00:19:13.880 about Ukrainians, 1.00

00:19:14.940 okay?

00:19:15.620 Like,

00:19:16.020 Ukrainians,

00:19:16.720 fine.

00:19:17.280 Like,

00:19:17.760 okay,

00:19:18.300 but I don't think

00:19:18.920 it's America's job 0.62

00:19:19.700 to interfere with foreign countries

00:19:21.140 and stuff like that.

00:19:22.040 But Russia has been 0.76

00:19:23.260 a persistent enemy

00:19:24.520 to the United States

00:19:25.540 for about a century now.

00:19:27.900 And they have not signaled

00:19:29.900 any willingness

00:19:30.780 to abate

00:19:31.660 that persistent threat status.

00:19:33.860 And what did our parents

00:19:36.820 go to Vietnam for?

00:19:38.640 What did they go to Korea for

00:19:40.800 but to attempt

00:19:42.360 to defang Russia 0.98

00:19:45.680 on the international stage?

00:19:48.580 Ukraine costs less

00:19:50.200 for us in those wars

00:19:51.460 and we're not even

00:19:52.340 sending our own people.

00:19:54.200 The reason why

00:19:55.000 my stance is flipped

00:19:55.940 on Ukraine

00:19:56.620 was I was actually convinced

00:19:57.860 by J.D. Vance on this.

00:19:59.220 He basically takes a stance

00:20:00.780 of,

00:20:01.080 look,

00:20:01.260 we bled Russia enough. 0.79

00:20:03.080 With their current

00:20:03.760 fertility rates,

00:20:04.800 they will never be a threat

00:20:06.460 to anyone again.

00:20:07.740 Can we just end the killing?

00:20:10.620 Okay?

00:20:10.940 Can we just end the killing now?

00:20:12.860 And that's when I'm like,

00:20:13.780 you know what?

00:20:14.260 You're right.

00:20:14.740 The incremental loss of life.

00:20:16.460 Like if this war goes on

00:20:17.460 for another five years,

00:20:19.140 realistically,

00:20:20.580 where is it going to end

00:20:21.400 in five years?

00:20:22.720 Just a lot more people

00:20:23.800 will be dead.

00:20:24.540 Yeah. 0.97

00:20:24.800 Just a lot more people

00:20:25.600 will be dead

00:20:26.260 and maybe one side

00:20:28.040 will have 20% more land

00:20:29.460 than they have today.

00:20:30.440 I do not think

00:20:31.860 that's a good equation.

00:20:32.900 Well,

00:20:33.200 and also it's unclear

00:20:33.980 which side too.

00:20:35.260 Yeah.

00:20:37.300 Just end it.

00:20:38.600 End the killing.

00:20:39.500 Okay?

00:20:40.060 But he doesn't see that way.

00:20:41.320 He believed,

00:20:42.500 and I can see

00:20:44.340 the logic behind this,

00:20:46.020 if we allow a country

00:20:47.680 to unjustly invade

00:20:49.260 another country,

00:20:50.440 right,

00:20:50.980 and take their land,

00:20:53.080 can they just keep going?

00:20:54.920 Right?

00:20:55.080 Like if their fear

00:20:57.400 is quote-unquote NATO,

00:20:58.960 well,

00:20:59.320 now they have justification

00:21:00.200 to attack all sorts

00:21:01.260 of other countries,

00:21:02.040 right?

00:21:02.320 Like Transistria, 1.00

00:21:03.840 definitely.

00:21:05.020 You know,

00:21:05.420 there's a lot of...

00:21:06.880 Wait,

00:21:07.200 Transistria? 0.69

00:21:08.720 I'm sorry.

00:21:09.340 ...the name of it,

00:21:09.860 right?

00:21:10.120 That's the region

00:21:10.760 next to Ukraine

00:21:11.680 that they would move to next

00:21:12.820 since they already have

00:21:13.480 a Russian public government

00:21:14.460 operational.

00:21:15.360 I see.

00:21:15.760 I'm not familiar with that.

00:21:16.000 They actually leaked

00:21:16.920 plans accidentally

00:21:18.000 that they did plan

00:21:18.900 to invade it

00:21:19.540 after Ukraine.

00:21:20.640 So,

00:21:21.220 yeah,

00:21:21.560 I mean,

00:21:21.880 we're just dealing

00:21:22.720 with one country

00:21:23.480 after another

00:21:24.320 if Russia feels

00:21:26.840 like they won this war.

00:21:27.960 The problem is

00:21:29.060 is they've depleted

00:21:30.660 their military capacity

00:21:32.240 in terms of humans

00:21:33.180 and they're not

00:21:34.340 producing more.

00:21:35.940 Russian women

00:21:36.540 aren't having kids.

00:21:37.760 They have an incredibly

00:21:39.160 low fertility rate.

00:21:40.520 They can't replace

00:21:41.660 the soldiers

00:21:42.200 that they've lost.

00:21:43.400 They've lost a generation.

00:21:45.740 Okay?

00:21:46.020 There's not gonna be

00:21:47.640 another war with Russia.

00:21:49.120 They don't have the tech

00:21:50.860 to fight anyone else.

00:21:52.260 They are dealing

00:21:53.020 with children's level

00:21:54.300 technology at this point.

00:21:56.180 Okay?

00:21:56.440 It's a bunch of 0.98

00:21:57.280 Soviet nonsense 1.00

00:21:58.720 that they're slightly

00:21:59.760 upgrading.

00:22:00.860 Their fleet

00:22:01.540 is basically

00:22:02.440 non-operational.

00:22:04.100 They can't operate.

00:22:05.940 I mean,

00:22:06.320 Ukrainians can basically 0.84

00:22:07.140 just put explosives

00:22:08.380 on an AI-operated

00:22:09.860 jet ski

00:22:10.560 and take out

00:22:11.220 anything now.

00:22:12.420 Like,

00:22:12.880 the nature of war

00:22:14.200 has changed.

00:22:14.800 All of their

00:22:15.480 star piles 0.61

00:22:16.380 are useless.

00:22:17.600 They don't matter anymore. 0.99

00:22:19.340 Do we need

00:22:19.720 to keep this going?

00:22:20.360 But I understand

00:22:21.400 his respect.

00:22:22.280 If you're approaching

00:22:23.100 this with his respect, 1.00

00:22:24.120 assassinating Trump 0.98

00:22:24.940 is probably

00:22:25.300 the single

00:22:25.980 number one thing

00:22:26.900 you could do

00:22:27.580 to move the needle

00:22:28.360 because Trump

00:22:29.000 is going to pull

00:22:30.080 the police.

00:22:31.440 He's gonna push

00:22:32.140 for an end

00:22:33.320 of the killing.

00:22:34.300 Right.

00:22:34.640 So this guy

00:22:35.340 sees Trump

00:22:36.120 say things like,

00:22:37.520 if I'm elected,

00:22:39.040 I'm just gonna

00:22:39.540 make a few calls

00:22:40.360 and even before

00:22:41.020 I'm in office,

00:22:41.620 I'm gonna end this war 0.79

00:22:42.460 and he thinks,

00:22:43.260 oh, great,

00:22:43.780 he's gonna get

00:22:44.400 some kind of

00:22:44.940 major concession

00:22:45.700 of land.

00:22:47.380 That's not cool.

00:22:48.840 Ukraine all the way.

00:22:50.060 And I have

00:22:51.180 to end this guy.

00:22:52.800 And he did,

00:22:53.480 by the way,

00:22:54.080 if I understand

00:22:54.700 correctly,

00:22:55.900 claim to have

00:22:56.540 voted for Trump

00:22:57.300 at one point,

00:22:58.540 but then come

00:22:59.080 to regret it.

00:22:59.980 Is that correct?

00:23:00.700 Yeah, well,

00:23:00.860 I mean,

00:23:01.160 this guy,

00:23:01.820 and people use this

00:23:02.720 to say that he's

00:23:03.620 like pro-Trump.

00:23:04.300 He voted for Trump

00:23:05.060 two election cycles ago.

00:23:06.740 In 2016.

00:23:08.040 Okay, so he did not

00:23:08.880 vote for Trump

00:23:09.440 in 2020.

00:23:10.520 No, no,

00:23:10.920 he is an absolutely

00:23:12.720 dyed-in-the-wool Democrat,

00:23:14.340 what we call

00:23:15.020 Democrat these days,

00:23:15.900 i.e.

00:23:16.260 pro-urban monoculture

00:23:17.400 individual.

00:23:17.760 Pro-Palestine, yeah. 0.75

00:23:19.080 Yeah, he's pro-Palestine, 0.94

00:23:20.760 he's pro-Ukraine,

00:23:21.720 he's not like

00:23:22.300 based where he has

00:23:23.780 like conflicting opinions.

00:23:24.820 He's just in line

00:23:25.960 with the urban monoculture

00:23:26.960 on every single step.

00:23:28.960 Well, and the blue hair.

00:23:30.000 The blue hair

00:23:30.620 is the rallying cry

00:23:33.120 stylistically

00:23:34.320 of far-left

00:23:36.460 membership.

00:23:37.400 I didn't see the blue hair

00:23:38.280 in recent pictures.

00:23:39.320 Did you see this?

00:23:40.080 And I was looking

00:23:40.760 and I tried to look for it.

00:23:42.280 Are you serious?

00:23:43.520 The picture of him wearing...

00:23:44.200 I think it's called

00:23:46.740 a flak jacket

00:23:47.700 and a little bandana

00:23:49.920 and half of his hair

00:23:51.600 is white

00:23:52.040 and then roughly

00:23:53.840 25 to 28% of it

00:23:56.180 is blue.

00:23:57.940 Yeah, by the way,

00:23:58.640 fans of our show today,

00:24:00.280 and I hope to become

00:24:01.100 more famous

00:24:01.600 as time goes on,

00:24:02.600 you'll get to say

00:24:03.360 you started following me

00:24:04.220 before my hair turned white.

00:24:05.440 We recently get a haircut

00:24:06.720 and I noticed

00:24:07.800 just how much of my hair...

00:24:09.180 I've been getting,

00:24:10.060 you know,

00:24:10.660 white hairs

00:24:11.260 for a while now.

00:24:12.780 Oh, no,

00:24:13.160 but this latest

00:24:13.940 backyard cheer

00:24:14.920 definitely nailed it.

00:24:15.700 It was like

00:24:16.400 getting close

00:24:17.240 to like 20%.

00:24:18.140 I know you can't see it

00:24:19.160 in my actual hair

00:24:20.100 because the rest of my hair

00:24:21.040 is so, well, colored,

00:24:22.780 but people in my family

00:24:24.040 generally get

00:24:25.640 pure white hair

00:24:26.680 at a fairly young age.

00:24:28.500 We never have

00:24:29.080 like hair recession

00:24:30.060 or the amount of hair

00:24:31.120 we have doesn't go down,

00:24:32.180 but we get pure white hair.

00:24:33.740 You like it, though.

00:24:34.680 You've seen like my dad.

00:24:35.640 He's got like a big

00:24:36.660 full head of white hair.

00:24:37.840 I just know

00:24:38.500 even fictional characters

00:24:40.300 with white hair.

00:24:41.560 It just gets me.

00:24:43.720 I'm very excited for this.

00:24:45.340 I'm so jealous

00:24:46.140 because my hair

00:24:46.820 will never be white. 0.56

00:24:47.780 It will be brown forever

00:24:49.560 and then ever so slightly gray.

00:24:51.920 I don't think I have

00:24:52.700 more than eight years

00:24:54.220 before I go full white.

00:24:55.360 I know.

00:24:56.240 I'm so excited.

00:24:57.280 So I'll be looking young

00:24:58.560 and just have jet white hair,

00:25:00.240 which I'm excited about.

00:25:01.160 This is why you're not allowed

00:25:01.740 to get assassinated.

00:25:02.940 Where will I get 0.97

00:25:04.020 white-haired Malcolm?

00:25:05.640 If you somehow 0.98

00:25:06.560 get assassinated, 0.91

00:25:07.620 don't do it. 0.71

00:25:08.560 Okay.

00:25:09.120 So when questioned

00:25:10.260 by the judge,

00:25:11.140 he said he had

00:25:12.560 quote unquote

00:25:13.880 zero funds

00:25:14.840 in his bank account.

00:25:16.080 He was living off

00:25:17.340 of a monthly income

00:25:18.360 of $3,000.

00:25:19.900 His only assets,

00:25:21.180 he told the court,

00:25:22.060 were two trucks

00:25:22.760 in Hawaii

00:25:23.240 that were worth

00:25:23.840 about $1,000 each.

00:25:26.300 So the $3,000,

00:25:27.700 nobody has any idea

00:25:28.680 where it's come from yet.

00:25:29.860 So I'm just going

00:25:30.520 to make a note of that.

00:25:31.940 His recent address

00:25:33.060 is listed in Hawaii,

00:25:34.480 but he spent most

00:25:35.060 of his time

00:25:35.380 in North Carolina,

00:25:36.580 according to property records.

00:25:38.100 Roos owned 1.00

00:25:38.740 a camp box Honolulu,

00:25:41.180 a shed building company.

00:25:42.240 It also built tiny homes,

00:25:43.740 according to a LinkedIn profile.

00:25:45.400 And he studied

00:25:46.480 at the North Carolina

00:25:48.500 Agricultural

00:25:49.180 and Technical State University,

00:25:50.980 which he graduated

00:25:51.760 in 1998.

00:25:53.980 He's...

00:25:54.540 Sorry, I'm just...

00:25:55.240 By the way,

00:25:55.680 I'm sending you

00:25:56.260 on WhatsApp

00:25:56.640 the picture of him

00:25:57.800 with partially blue hair

00:26:00.520 just so you know

00:26:01.440 I'm not crazy.

00:26:04.100 Because he totally...

00:26:05.940 And, by the way,

00:26:07.500 he referenced...

00:26:08.520 You're talking about him

00:26:09.580 in relation to

00:26:10.220 other assassinations.

00:26:11.600 So it's clear

00:26:12.240 that he planned

00:26:12.900 this assassination attempt

00:26:13.920 to make sure

00:26:14.760 that there couldn't be

00:26:15.640 any bystanders

00:26:16.620 who were killed.

00:26:18.000 In reference

00:26:19.300 to the last

00:26:20.060 assassination attempt,

00:26:22.220 he asked Kamala

00:26:25.080 and Biden

00:26:26.520 to go

00:26:27.680 and go to

00:26:29.020 the people

00:26:31.040 who were killed

00:26:31.620 families' funerals

00:26:32.540 and to see

00:26:33.500 if there was anything

00:26:34.020 they could do for them

00:26:34.820 because he didn't think

00:26:35.860 that Trump would do

00:26:36.460 anything for them.

00:26:37.600 And so, like,

00:26:38.360 clearly he saw that.

00:26:39.520 Now, I don't know

00:26:39.960 if he would have done that

00:26:40.740 had that not happened

00:26:41.600 with the other

00:26:42.060 assassination attempt.

00:26:43.380 But I think he saw it

00:26:44.240 and he was like,

00:26:44.860 I don't want to go out

00:26:46.540 doing something like that.

00:26:48.740 Okay.

00:26:49.540 And from what we know now,

00:26:51.760 the other assassin

00:26:52.500 was a clout chaser

00:26:53.420 and that was

00:26:54.500 the primary motivator.

00:26:55.920 When he went,

00:26:56.600 when Russia invaded

00:26:57.700 Ukraine in 2022,

00:26:59.080 here's a quote from him.

00:27:00.460 I'm coming to Ukraine 0.99

00:27:01.300 from Hawaii

00:27:01.940 to fight for your kids

00:27:03.600 and families

00:27:04.300 and democracy. 1.00

00:27:05.420 I will come and die 0.99

00:27:06.240 for you, 1.00

00:27:06.820 end quote.

00:27:07.660 So he,

00:27:08.700 and he shared a photo

00:27:09.460 of himself in Kiev,

00:27:10.540 Ukraine's capital.

00:27:11.200 You know,

00:27:11.360 it's quite hard

00:27:12.040 for men of fighting age

00:27:12.900 to leave Ukraine.

00:27:13.720 So, like,

00:27:14.400 going into this,

00:27:15.200 he is fully committed.

00:27:16.980 And he says then later,

00:27:18.060 quote,

00:27:18.300 my initial goal

00:27:18.980 was to fight,

00:27:19.880 but I'm 56.

00:27:21.260 So initially,

00:27:21.840 they were like,

00:27:22.560 I have no military experience.

00:27:24.180 So they were like,

00:27:25.220 you're not an ideal candidate.

00:27:26.820 So they said,

00:27:27.620 you're not right this minute.

00:27:28.880 So plan B

00:27:29.580 was to come here to Kiev

00:27:30.760 and promote getting more people here,

00:27:32.400 end quote.

00:27:33.220 Quote,

00:27:33.580 this is about good versus evil,

00:27:35.880 end quote.

00:27:36.760 And so he urged people,

00:27:38.060 even those who didn't have military skills,

00:27:39.460 to take up arms for Ukraine.

00:27:40.680 He offered to help connect them

00:27:41.640 with military units.

00:27:42.720 He was interviewed

00:27:43.220 by several news organizations,

00:27:44.500 including the New York Times

00:27:45.480 and Semford in 2023.

00:27:47.140 He told Semford

00:27:48.120 that he had not been able

00:27:49.700 to convince him.

00:27:50.320 Isn't that pronounced semaphore?

00:27:52.600 Semaphore,

00:27:53.100 I don't know.

00:27:54.200 Quote,

00:27:54.820 to issue one single visa,

00:27:56.660 end quote,

00:27:57.060 for soldiers.

00:27:57.900 It is not clear

00:27:58.720 whether he actually ever

00:28:00.000 had contact with the ministry.

00:28:01.920 Now,

00:28:02.400 the ministry said

00:28:03.020 he has no contact with the unit,

00:28:04.140 but they actually go

00:28:04.820 more into detail on this

00:28:05.800 in just a second.

00:28:09.240 CBS News foreign correspondent

00:28:11.000 Holly Williams

00:28:11.680 immediately recognized

00:28:12.620 Ross' name

00:28:13.200 when she woke up

00:28:14.440 in London on Monday

00:28:15.580 to the news of his arrest.

00:28:17.480 She'd been in contact

00:28:18.320 with him for more than a year

00:28:19.620 in the early stages

00:28:21.020 of the war in the Ukraine,

00:28:22.020 which she covered extensively.

00:28:23.600 It was one of the flyers

00:28:25.480 he had posted around Kiev

00:28:27.460 offering to help

00:28:28.560 other foreigners

00:28:29.240 get deployed

00:28:29.860 with Ukrainian battalions

00:28:31.060 that initially caught

00:28:32.280 William's eye

00:28:33.100 and prompted her

00:28:34.080 to get in touch with him.

00:28:35.320 They spoke at least once

00:28:36.340 on the phone

00:28:36.680 and texted frequently.

00:28:38.040 Ross put William in touch

00:28:38.900 with several foreign fighters

00:28:39.960 and she said

00:28:41.560 he seemed very genuine

00:28:43.080 and passionate

00:28:43.640 about supporting Ukraine

00:28:44.640 in his battle

00:28:45.060 to find off Russia's evasion.

00:28:46.660 But,

00:28:47.000 William said,

00:28:47.400 Ross at times

00:28:48.360 seemed fairly naive,

00:28:50.020 including when he spoke

00:28:50.880 of his ambition

00:28:51.400 to help bring thousands

00:28:52.440 of Afghan and Syrian

00:28:53.520 refugee fighters

00:28:54.640 to the Ukrainian war effort.

00:28:56.860 Ross told the New York Times

00:28:58.100 in 2023

00:28:59.000 that he was seeking recruits

00:29:00.960 among Afghan soldiers

00:29:01.960 who fled the Taliban,

00:29:03.440 aiming to purchase passports

00:29:04.900 through Pakistan 0.88

00:29:05.680 since it's such a corrupt country 0.95

00:29:07.300 and moved them

00:29:08.160 in some cases illegally

00:29:09.340 into Ukraine

00:29:10.440 from Pakistan and Iran.

00:29:12.080 The Times described Ross

00:29:13.060 as a, quote,

00:29:14.240 former construction worker

00:29:15.260 from Greensboro, North Carolina,

00:29:16.820 who spent several months

00:29:18.020 in Ukraine last year,

00:29:19.040 end quote.

00:29:20.520 The same months

00:29:21.500 he complained

00:29:22.060 to Sima Ford,

00:29:22.920 however it's pronounced,

00:29:24.520 about the Ukrainian government's

00:29:25.520 lack of support,

00:29:26.420 saying that they're being

00:29:27.100 overly rigid

00:29:27.760 about admitting foreign soldiers,

00:29:29.060 especially from Afghan,

00:29:30.060 over concerns

00:29:30.780 that they might be Russian spies.

00:29:32.940 Quote,

00:29:33.200 I have had partners

00:29:35.140 meeting with Ukraine

00:29:35.860 military's defense

00:29:36.740 every week

00:29:37.320 and still not been able

00:29:38.320 to get them to agree

00:29:39.100 to one single visa.

00:29:40.600 But unfortunately,

00:29:41.880 a representative

00:29:42.460 from Ukraine's foreign legion

00:29:43.820 told CNN

00:29:44.440 that he had reached out

00:29:45.700 to them several times online,

00:29:47.280 but, quote,

00:29:48.420 was never a part of the legion

00:29:49.800 and didn't cooperate

00:29:50.460 in any way,

00:29:51.000 end quote,

00:29:51.480 end quote.

00:29:52.120 The best way I can describe

00:29:53.400 his message is

00:29:54.440 delusional ideas,

00:29:56.220 end quote.

00:29:57.140 So,

00:29:58.080 and then, quote,

00:29:58.840 he was offering us

00:30:00.520 large numbers of recruits

00:30:01.860 from different countries,

00:30:02.980 but it was obvious to us

00:30:04.020 that his offers

00:30:04.560 were not realistic.

00:30:05.960 He didn't,

00:30:06.520 we didn't answer

00:30:07.600 and there was nothing

00:30:08.260 to answer to,

00:30:09.180 end quote.

00:30:11.380 Yeah,

00:30:11.920 this is a very,

00:30:12.960 it seems like,

00:30:14.820 upstart,

00:30:15.980 optimistic,

00:30:17.000 values-driven person

00:30:18.380 repeatedly

00:30:19.580 rubbing up against

00:30:22.000 the

00:30:22.800 logistical corruption

00:30:25.200 of bureaucracies,

00:30:26.260 which could

00:30:26.740 probably utilize

00:30:28.420 his help

00:30:29.080 if they weren't

00:30:29.580 so rigid

00:30:30.000 in the way

00:30:30.320 they operated.

00:30:31.440 Absolutely,

00:30:32.160 yeah,

00:30:32.340 his plan 0.88

00:30:33.000 was not stupid,

00:30:34.680 but he wasn't 0.99

00:30:35.640 able to

00:30:36.580 implement it

00:30:37.580 and, like,

00:30:38.660 if they're worried

00:30:39.320 about Russian spies,

00:30:40.540 then create

00:30:41.540 specific battalions

00:30:42.920 was the units

00:30:43.460 he's bringing over

00:30:44.060 from Afghanistan.

00:30:45.200 There are

00:30:45.940 genuinely people

00:30:46.960 after the Taliban

00:30:47.640 who took over

00:30:48.240 of military experience

00:30:49.520 trained by the U.S.

00:30:50.400 military in Afghanistan

00:30:51.580 who would be useful

00:30:53.220 in a situation like this.

00:30:54.760 Like,

00:30:55.700 the pure reason

00:30:57.420 they were turning

00:30:57.960 his nose at this

00:30:58.940 was bureaucratic

00:30:59.980 uncreativity

00:31:02.080 in terms of

00:31:03.160 handling this.

00:31:04.160 Yeah.

00:31:04.680 Well,

00:31:04.880 that's a frustrating

00:31:05.600 thing about

00:31:06.340 many bureaucracies

00:31:08.360 is that

00:31:09.120 even if you want

00:31:10.180 to help,

00:31:11.260 if you cannot help

00:31:12.720 through the specific

00:31:14.300 and correct channel

00:31:15.220 with the correct

00:31:16.180 certifications

00:31:17.840 and paperwork,

00:31:19.360 then you simply

00:31:20.300 cannot participate,

00:31:22.060 which is

00:31:22.780 a huge loss

00:31:24.700 to human productivity

00:31:25.960 and development.

00:31:27.540 Yeah,

00:31:27.880 I don't think,

00:31:29.440 like,

00:31:29.900 I wonder,

00:31:30.320 I don't think

00:31:30.760 I'm that much

00:31:31.620 crazy, 0.86

00:31:33.040 like,

00:31:33.280 if I had less

00:31:34.220 access to resources

00:31:35.420 than I have

00:31:36.040 or less access

00:31:36.660 to public respect

00:31:37.560 than I have

00:31:38.300 and I needed

00:31:39.380 to get people

00:31:40.340 to pay attention

00:31:40.980 to certain topics,

00:31:42.300 could I be seen

00:31:43.320 as as crazy 0.99

00:31:43.980 as this guy 0.94

00:31:44.580 in a different timeline?

00:31:45.860 You're probably 0.98

00:31:46.360 seen as more crazy 0.99

00:31:47.240 than this guy

00:31:47.840 who did not try

00:31:48.480 to start a religion.

00:31:50.080 Oh,

00:31:50.260 that's true,

00:31:50.760 yeah.

00:31:51.040 Yeah.

00:31:51.560 I'm definitely 0.78

00:31:52.180 more crazy than him.

00:31:53.580 So, 0.96

00:31:53.820 like,

00:31:54.060 I'm like,

00:31:56.600 I look at him

00:31:58.340 and I'm just like,

00:31:59.180 he was trying

00:32:00.200 his best

00:32:01.200 to live out

00:32:01.860 his moral thesis.

00:32:04.160 I believe

00:32:04.980 that he became

00:32:05.780 overly attached

00:32:06.660 to this Ukraine idea

00:32:07.880 and just kept

00:32:08.420 looking for solutions

00:32:09.480 instead of seeing

00:32:10.660 that they fought

00:32:12.180 for long enough.

00:32:12.940 The purpose

00:32:13.460 of them resisting

00:32:14.340 is over now

00:32:15.220 when fertility rates

00:32:16.700 are considered.

00:32:17.740 I do think,

00:32:18.520 though,

00:32:18.760 that his act

00:32:19.620 and the act

00:32:20.180 of the other assassin,

00:32:21.320 attempted assassin,

00:32:22.100 would-be assassin

00:32:22.920 of former President

00:32:24.340 Donald Trump

00:32:24.920 is that

00:32:25.460 this indicates

00:32:26.820 an Overton window

00:32:28.600 shift in

00:32:29.640 the way that

00:32:31.120 people view

00:32:32.140 acceptable actions

00:32:34.580 of protest.

00:32:36.540 I think that we,

00:32:37.560 and you see this also

00:32:38.540 in crime,

00:32:39.440 which we discussed

00:32:40.000 in another recent episode,

00:32:41.500 we've entered an age

00:32:43.140 in which it is seen

00:32:44.220 as appropriate

00:32:45.380 to take violent

00:32:46.780 and drastic action

00:32:47.880 if you believe

00:32:48.580 that you are morally

00:32:49.680 justified in doing so.

00:32:50.980 that it is okay

00:32:52.040 to steal,

00:32:52.800 that it is okay 0.53

00:32:53.360 to attempt to kill,

00:32:54.320 that it is okay

00:32:54.880 to engage

00:32:56.600 in election wiggles

00:32:57.520 if you believe

00:32:59.120 the cause is just.

00:33:00.960 And it scares me

00:33:02.400 because in the past

00:33:03.800 there was a lot

00:33:04.620 more respect

00:33:05.520 for civil society

00:33:07.180 and for rules

00:33:09.360 and institutions.

00:33:10.760 I don't blame people,

00:33:12.440 though,

00:33:13.360 for kind of

00:33:15.140 declaring bankruptcy

00:33:16.160 on institutions now

00:33:17.520 and saying

00:33:17.940 we have to take matters

00:33:18.940 into our own hands

00:33:19.860 because they've become

00:33:21.360 corrupted

00:33:21.820 in a meaningful way.

00:33:23.920 So people trusted

00:33:24.700 institutions more

00:33:25.440 in the past

00:33:25.800 because institutions worked

00:33:27.080 and they're not

00:33:27.920 working anymore

00:33:28.560 so people are taking

00:33:29.440 matters into their

00:33:30.180 own hands.

00:33:31.000 But it's still scary

00:33:32.840 that we live

00:33:33.340 in a society

00:33:33.860 in which that is happening.

00:33:35.840 I'm going to try

00:33:36.440 to get the clip now

00:33:37.300 because one of our fans

00:33:38.200 got it for us

00:33:39.160 of a popular show

00:33:40.360 where Democrats

00:33:41.120 basically say,

00:33:41.700 yeah,

00:33:41.800 it's okay to create 0.97

00:33:42.660 erection fraud.

00:33:43.980 Three weeks ago,

00:33:45.900 Henry Roberts raised

00:33:47.020 six million dollars

00:33:48.860 in dark money

00:33:49.820 to fund an off-the-books

00:33:51.500 guerrilla oppo operation.

00:33:54.780 He asked me to run it.

00:33:56.480 Nobody seems to be willing

00:33:57.460 to do what is necessary.

00:33:59.280 And what's that?

00:34:00.560 Whatever it takes.

00:34:02.600 Democrats act like

00:34:03.680 this is the 90s

00:34:04.940 and they're working

00:34:05.600 under the old rules.

00:34:07.180 The new rules are these.

00:34:09.680 Attack.

00:34:10.940 Lie.

00:34:11.600 Don't get caught.

00:34:12.600 And Machiavelli

00:34:13.480 wrote the prince

00:34:14.340 for the rulers.

00:34:15.780 Well,

00:34:16.840 we're rewriting it for us.

00:34:18.580 We need to have

00:34:19.760 more problems 0.92

00:34:20.360 with our erections 0.52

00:34:21.120 because they're just not,

00:34:23.040 you know,

00:34:23.540 we can't trust Republicans

00:34:24.640 so we have to do it

00:34:25.560 preemptively.

00:34:26.700 Now,

00:34:27.180 here's another interesting thing.

00:34:28.300 This guy had two kids

00:34:29.100 and so his kids

00:34:30.260 have spoken on this afterwards.

00:34:31.660 Holy, wait.

00:34:32.400 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:34:33.060 Sorry,

00:34:33.440 that's just sinking in.

00:34:34.380 He has children.

00:34:35.320 How old are they?

00:34:35.960 They must be grown.

00:34:37.040 They're grown, yeah.

00:34:38.420 Or at least,

00:34:39.000 I mean,

00:34:39.220 I don't know.

00:34:39.660 Someone in their 50s

00:34:40.520 probably is

00:34:41.260 20-somethings.

00:34:42.960 They don't seem grown

00:34:44.100 but they seem honestly

00:34:45.520 like super respectable people.

00:34:49.060 So Oren,

00:34:49.820 one of his sons,

00:34:50.780 told CNN,

00:34:51.740 quote,

00:34:52.800 it's not like his father

00:34:53.720 to do anything crazy

00:34:55.320 much less violent,

00:34:56.360 end quote,

00:34:56.900 end quote,

00:34:58.100 I don't have any comment

00:34:59.160 beyond a character profile

00:35:00.380 of him as a loving

00:35:01.460 and caring father

00:35:02.300 and honest,

00:35:03.480 hardworking man,

00:35:04.380 end quote.

00:35:05.300 And he told the Daily Mail

00:35:07.180 that his dad hates Trump

00:35:08.620 but stressed that he

00:35:10.040 is not a violent person

00:35:11.580 and said he's never

00:35:12.680 known him to own a gun,

00:35:14.060 following up later in text.

00:35:16.380 Quote,

00:35:17.060 I hate this game

00:35:18.140 every four years

00:35:19.040 and think that we all do.

00:35:21.320 And if my father

00:35:22.480 wants to be a martyr

00:35:23.540 to how broken

00:35:25.200 and disassociated

00:35:26.520 the process has become

00:35:27.740 from the real problems

00:35:29.100 and practical solution,

00:35:30.820 that's his choice,

00:35:32.320 end quote.

00:35:33.740 What a bro son.

00:35:35.300 I love that.

00:35:36.660 That's a bro done.

00:35:37.840 Yeah, man.

00:35:39.180 And keep in mind,

00:35:40.020 you're from us

00:35:41.000 Trump supporters.

00:35:42.420 This guy was a cliche Democrat

00:35:44.640 but at least he really valued

00:35:46.440 the things he said he valued.

00:35:48.020 Yeah.

00:35:48.300 I have heard so many Democrats

00:35:49.820 these days

00:35:50.600 where they're like,

00:35:51.540 I value X

00:35:52.400 and I value Y

00:35:53.660 and X and I want

00:35:55.080 are like crazy, 0.96

00:35:56.600 delusional nonsense. 0.98

00:35:59.040 This guy was like, 0.71

00:35:59.920 I don't want a country

00:36:01.320 to just be able to invade

00:36:02.680 like a peaceful neighbor

00:36:03.940 and try to take them over.

00:36:05.640 Like,

00:36:06.440 that's a cause

00:36:07.620 that I can understand

00:36:09.980 his mental calculations.

00:36:11.000 Okay,

00:36:11.420 but he also supports Palestine.

00:36:13.700 He also supports Palestine,

00:36:15.520 which,

00:36:16.480 okay.

00:36:17.220 But he also supports Taiwan.

00:36:18.980 So,

00:36:19.260 I don't know.

00:36:20.160 I mean,

00:36:20.800 whatever.

00:36:21.100 He seems like

00:36:22.220 a very well-made guy.

00:36:22.660 Watch our episode

00:36:23.480 as to the sexification of evil.

00:36:27.000 Like,

00:36:27.320 when and why

00:36:28.600 did we start to sexualize evil

00:36:30.340 in our society?

00:36:31.220 And I do think

00:36:31.920 within this urban monoculture

00:36:33.260 moral framework,

00:36:34.100 the more

00:36:34.640 low power a group is,

00:36:36.960 the more

00:36:37.540 high

00:36:38.300 morality they are.

00:36:40.400 Yeah,

00:36:40.840 yeah,

00:36:41.240 yeah,

00:36:41.480 yeah.

00:36:41.820 It is not really possible.

00:36:43.580 And you can see this

00:36:44.280 in every one of these conflicts.

00:36:45.440 He's supporting the weaker party,

00:36:46.660 not the more just party,

00:36:48.060 the weaker party.

00:36:49.680 Yeah,

00:36:50.080 okay.

00:36:50.900 Which is a,

00:36:51.580 yeah,

00:36:51.840 it's a very progressive

00:36:53.040 leftist view,

00:36:54.120 which

00:36:54.360 I get,

00:36:55.780 it's also

00:36:56.140 depending on which

00:36:57.480 faction,

00:36:58.360 the many,

00:36:58.640 many Christian factions

00:36:59.640 kind of also hold that,

00:37:00.700 you know.

00:37:00.800 Actually,

00:37:01.180 this is sort of the way

00:37:02.340 I see things,

00:37:04.120 right?

00:37:04.340 Like,

00:37:04.820 where do people break down

00:37:06.900 on which side they support?

00:37:09.020 He,

00:37:09.660 in every one of these instances,

00:37:10.780 supports the weaker party.

00:37:12.360 In some instances,

00:37:13.440 I see individuals

00:37:14.380 who always support

00:37:15.520 the stronger party

00:37:16.860 in every one of these

00:37:17.740 three potential conflicts.

00:37:19.300 And then,

00:37:19.980 in some instances,

00:37:21.380 I see people,

00:37:22.400 and this is where we fall,

00:37:23.400 do you support

00:37:23.920 the more civilized party

00:37:25.140 or do you support

00:37:25.740 the less civilized party?

00:37:27.200 Where if you support

00:37:27.880 the more civilized party,

00:37:28.940 than it's,

00:37:29.440 you know,

00:37:29.920 Ukraine and Israel? 0.72

00:37:30.580 Hold on.

00:37:31.060 No, no, no.

00:37:32.440 Universally progressive C.

00:37:34.640 And in this same show,

00:37:36.000 The Good Fight

00:37:36.480 that you were referring to earlier,

00:37:37.740 where they were like,

00:37:38.320 oh, it's justified

00:37:39.060 to have election wiggles

00:37:40.320 because,

00:37:41.020 you know,

00:37:41.900 the other side

00:37:42.440 is just that bad.

00:37:43.500 Republicans are seen

00:37:44.560 as the inherently uncivilized 1.00

00:37:46.060 and very stupid 1.00

00:37:47.100 and uneducated party. 1.00

00:37:48.700 In fact,

00:37:48.960 another common theme

00:37:49.920 of that show 1.00

00:37:50.640 is just how dumb 1.00

00:37:52.320 anyone who supports Trump, 1.00

00:37:54.040 with the exception

00:37:54.680 of one character,

00:37:56.280 is.

00:37:56.600 So all Trump-appointed judges,

00:37:59.220 the plot line

00:37:59.980 with all their court cases

00:38:01.060 is pretty much just like,

00:38:03.040 how do we dumb this down for them?

00:38:04.500 Let's make a cartoon

00:38:05.460 for our plea.

00:38:07.240 Let's hire actors

00:38:09.300 to react to them

00:38:10.580 in a way that manipulates them.

00:38:12.000 Let's do all sorts

00:38:13.200 of things like that.

00:38:14.200 So I don't think

00:38:16.460 your argument about

00:38:17.220 the cultured

00:38:18.180 or the civilized party works.

00:38:20.520 I think it is very common

00:38:22.120 for any group

00:38:22.900 to dehumanize the other side.

00:38:24.440 And they see us equally.

00:38:27.160 No,

00:38:27.740 I think you're wrong

00:38:28.600 about this.

00:38:29.380 I think that they,

00:38:31.320 when they are looking

00:38:32.260 at foreign powers,

00:38:34.100 they think that

00:38:34.940 the lack of civilized,

00:38:37.260 like being un...

00:38:39.540 Well,

00:38:39.900 we can talk about it,

00:38:40.940 but I've definitely seen

00:38:42.280 along Marxist lines,

00:38:44.300 individuals who both support,

00:38:45.900 like the tankies,

00:38:47.060 they both support Russia 0.52

00:38:48.420 and Palestine.

00:38:50.340 Oh.

00:38:51.220 This is definitely

00:38:52.200 a faction that exists.

00:38:54.260 Yeah.

00:38:54.640 Well,

00:38:54.880 you can get a faction

00:38:56.240 that supports

00:38:56.780 pretty much any permutation.

00:38:58.500 Now,

00:38:58.800 what I'm curious is

00:38:59.540 if you think this will affect

00:39:00.860 the 2024 U.S. presidential election

00:39:03.480 or not.

00:39:04.340 In the betting odds,

00:39:05.200 we've seen basically

00:39:06.020 zero change

00:39:06.720 or 1% change,

00:39:08.260 whereas with the first

00:39:09.200 assassination attempt,

00:39:10.300 we saw roughly

00:39:11.020 11% change.

00:39:13.020 So,

00:39:14.000 I don't know,

00:39:14.520 we've normalized to it.

00:39:16.000 This is the new school shooting,

00:39:17.480 you know,

00:39:17.880 just another one.

00:39:19.520 Take a shot.

00:39:20.300 Baby,

00:39:21.160 you're okay.

00:39:22.380 Hey, Mom.

00:39:24.260 It's all right, Stanley.

00:39:25.480 We will get through this

00:39:26.980 as a family.

00:39:28.240 Stanley,

00:39:29.200 well,

00:39:30.140 do you want to tell your father

00:39:31.380 about what happened

00:39:32.040 at school today?

00:39:33.020 Um,

00:39:33.940 oh,

00:39:34.260 I flunked my math quiz.

00:39:36.440 No,

00:39:37.040 the other thing.

00:39:39.100 Oh,

00:39:39.640 the school shooting?

00:39:40.920 Yes,

00:39:41.500 the school shooting.

00:39:43.260 Oh,

00:39:43.560 yeah,

00:39:43.720 some kid shot up the school.

00:39:45.060 Who shot up the school?

00:39:46.260 Was it you?

00:39:47.700 No.

00:39:48.300 Did you get shot?

00:39:49.840 No.

00:39:50.720 Oh,

00:39:51.700 well,

00:39:52.020 what's this about

00:39:52.660 failing a math quiz?

00:39:53.880 Well,

00:39:54.240 okay,

00:39:54.420 so I also want to note here

00:39:55.740 that this guy's book,

00:39:56.880 which was a 291-page

00:39:58.400 self-published book.

00:39:59.600 Oh,

00:39:59.840 it's out there.

00:40:00.800 Yeah.

00:40:01.020 It's titled

00:40:02.160 Ukraine's Unwinnable War,

00:40:04.260 The Fatal Flaw of Democracy,

00:40:06.380 World Abandonment,

00:40:07.820 and the Global Citizen Taiwan,

00:40:10.200 Afghan,

00:40:11.180 North Korea,

00:40:12.300 and the End of Humanity

00:40:13.520 is what the book is titled.

00:40:15.240 Okay,

00:40:16.140 that's a title.

00:40:17.420 That's a mouthful.

00:40:19.880 One thing I found interesting

00:40:21.460 in the comments

00:40:22.080 that was suggested,

00:40:23.400 and I don't know

00:40:23.960 if this works for presidents

00:40:24.800 because you have a need

00:40:25.480 to make,

00:40:25.900 you know,

00:40:26.400 international things,

00:40:27.580 but I actually quite like

00:40:28.360 this idea

00:40:28.860 for local politicians.

00:40:30.240 is they said

00:40:31.460 that the way

00:40:31.960 that you could end

00:40:32.560 a lot of the corruption

00:40:33.300 that we're seeing

00:40:33.820 in terms of like

00:40:34.400 actually trying to clean up

00:40:35.240 cities

00:40:36.020 is you make a law

00:40:37.400 that mayors

00:40:38.200 cannot have protection details

00:40:40.800 when they're walking

00:40:41.420 around their cities.

00:40:42.520 Well,

00:40:42.640 then they would just stop

00:40:43.440 walking around their cities.

00:40:44.960 Well,

00:40:45.220 their cities need to be safe.

00:40:46.860 They barely walk around

00:40:47.780 their cities as it is.

00:40:48.860 I don't think that

00:40:49.520 would be very effective.

00:40:51.640 If you want to stop

00:40:52.380 corruption in politics,

00:40:53.520 no longer allow

00:40:54.220 for any political

00:40:54.980 denominations,

00:40:56.360 like,

00:40:57.080 aside from

00:40:58.580 citizen donations

00:40:59.560 under $50.

00:41:00.240 was,

00:41:01.460 and I don't know

00:41:01.780 if I told you about this,

00:41:02.860 was the idea

00:41:04.900 that whenever a president

00:41:06.240 leaves his second term

00:41:07.220 in office,

00:41:07.620 he's executed.

00:41:10.560 Only people

00:41:11.300 who are willing

00:41:11.700 to give their lives

00:41:12.880 to the role

00:41:13.380 are willing

00:41:13.700 to take the role.

00:41:14.580 So,

00:41:15.180 if you are running

00:41:16.120 for president,

00:41:16.900 you know,

00:41:17.140 you're not running

00:41:17.880 for potential benefits

00:41:19.840 afterwards.

00:41:20.500 You're not running

00:41:20.900 for a long-term ego.

00:41:21.920 It's only if

00:41:22.840 you are literally

00:41:23.960 willing to give

00:41:24.660 your life for this position

00:41:25.820 because I think

00:41:26.780 that that would lead

00:41:27.320 to much higher action.

00:41:29.060 Now,

00:41:29.620 I don't know

00:41:30.080 if that's as realistic,

00:41:30.980 but I have some

00:41:32.100 government plans

00:41:32.940 drawn out

00:41:33.480 and we'll see

00:41:33.940 how those work.

00:41:38.380 It's so funny.

00:41:39.280 Our other friends

00:41:40.280 who have dreams

00:41:41.780 of running

00:41:42.300 for president

00:41:43.000 that they consider

00:41:45.440 extreme and crazy

00:41:46.780 are like,

00:41:47.300 well,

00:41:47.460 I would run

00:41:47.940 on one platform issue

00:41:49.440 and that is

00:41:49.880 to turn

00:41:50.380 all tax returns

00:41:51.740 into a one-page return,

00:41:53.540 which is dreamy,

00:41:54.520 but also like,

00:41:55.700 you know,

00:41:56.060 pretty violent

00:41:56.860 considering how

00:41:57.680 corrupt the tax life

00:42:00.100 is.

00:42:00.360 Well, you know,

00:42:00.860 you know who's

00:42:01.020 going to hate that.

00:42:01.800 What's that?

00:42:02.120 What's the tax pro

00:42:03.660 or whatever,

00:42:04.240 that app

00:42:04.700 that literally

00:42:05.220 has a contract?

00:42:06.200 TurboTax.

00:42:07.100 TurboTax has a contract

00:42:08.700 with the U.S. government?

00:42:09.560 No, no, no.

00:42:10.000 You don't understand

00:42:11.040 how corrupt

00:42:11.580 the U.S. tax system is.

00:42:13.120 Literally,

00:42:14.120 there are parts,

00:42:15.160 there are certain,

00:42:15.920 for example,

00:42:16.480 non-profit tax filings.

00:42:17.800 We had to make

00:42:18.220 a different type

00:42:19.240 of non-profit tax filing

00:42:20.280 for the Pregnantist Foundation

00:42:21.400 after we received

00:42:22.420 that larger grant

00:42:24.180 from the Survival

00:42:24.900 and Flourishing Fund

00:42:25.720 and we had to fill out

00:42:27.780 a more detailed one.

00:42:29.480 I tried to,

00:42:30.160 I downloaded the form

00:42:31.360 and I completed it.

00:42:32.600 I did all the things

00:42:33.520 and then I needed

00:42:34.620 to file it.

00:42:35.920 Well,

00:42:36.840 there was no place

00:42:37.640 for me to file it.

00:42:38.600 There was no place

00:42:39.260 I could mail it

00:42:40.020 and so I contacted

00:42:41.300 the IRS,

00:42:42.480 which is our tax body

00:42:44.060 in the United States

00:42:44.760 and I said,

00:42:45.220 well,

00:42:45.400 where do I send the form?

00:42:46.400 I downloaded it,

00:42:47.020 I completed it.

00:42:47.700 They're like,

00:42:47.960 oh,

00:42:48.100 you can only submit it online.

00:42:50.280 I'm like,

00:42:50.740 okay,

00:42:50.900 great,

00:42:51.160 where's the website?

00:42:51.860 They're like,

00:42:52.100 no,

00:42:52.280 no,

00:42:52.360 no,

00:42:52.480 you have to submit it

00:42:53.560 through an authorized

00:42:55.080 tax filer

00:42:56.600 and I say,

00:42:58.060 oh,

00:42:58.360 okay,

00:42:58.660 so I have to go

00:42:59.300 to a company

00:42:59.980 that is authorized

00:43:01.600 to work with me.

00:43:02.320 It would be like $500

00:43:02.840 that we were going

00:43:03.620 to submit it.

00:43:04.400 And not only that,

00:43:05.520 I was like,

00:43:05.960 okay,

00:43:06.160 fine,

00:43:06.420 you know,

00:43:06.560 I'll pay someone

00:43:07.200 a token amount

00:43:07.960 to submit

00:43:08.420 the already completed form.

00:43:09.620 Maybe I can get

00:43:10.060 a discount

00:43:10.440 from their support team

00:43:11.400 or something.

00:43:11.860 I was willing

00:43:12.320 to play the game.

00:43:15.120 No,

00:43:15.920 that was not an option.

00:43:17.020 I had to completely

00:43:18.380 go through

00:43:18.840 their entire software

00:43:20.220 and do the entire thing

00:43:22.000 over again

00:43:22.640 and then submit it.

00:43:24.860 And this is the,

00:43:25.960 so I have to pay

00:43:27.280 a private organization

00:43:28.740 that is obviously

00:43:29.460 like lobbied the government

00:43:30.640 and filled out

00:43:31.300 a bunch of paperwork

00:43:31.940 and filled their own

00:43:32.860 like filing forms

00:43:33.760 and paid all this stuff

00:43:34.580 to like get in

00:43:35.440 in with the government

00:43:36.260 to pay the government

00:43:38.400 money.

00:43:39.360 Well,

00:43:39.480 as a nonprofit,

00:43:40.140 I'm not even

00:43:40.620 paying the government

00:43:41.300 money.

00:43:41.720 So maybe that's,

00:43:42.320 that's what's going on

00:43:42.960 is I'm not paying them enough,

00:43:44.000 but it just,

00:43:44.820 it's amazing how corrupt

00:43:45.820 our system is.

00:43:46.440 It isn't just TurboTax,

00:43:47.360 but this is why

00:43:47.900 this could never happen.

00:43:49.000 We can't engage

00:43:49.780 in tax reform.

00:43:50.720 Like as a company,

00:43:52.380 like I was,

00:43:53.220 I was running

00:43:53.760 for federal office.

00:43:54.860 TurboTax is,

00:43:55.400 is,

00:43:55.700 is,

00:43:55.880 yeah.

00:43:56.620 Yeah.

00:43:56.980 Because for those 1.00

00:43:58.140 who are not

00:43:58.620 in the United States,

00:43:59.540 TurboTax is a,

00:44:00.740 a private organization

00:44:02.040 that is an intense

00:44:04.140 lobbyist

00:44:04.900 to the United States

00:44:05.780 government

00:44:06.140 that sort of has

00:44:07.380 cornered a large

00:44:08.480 proportion

00:44:09.240 of the tax filing

00:44:10.940 market in the United States.

00:44:12.300 They've intentionally

00:44:13.040 made tax filing

00:44:13.900 more complicated

00:44:14.820 so that you cannot

00:44:15.620 file it without

00:44:16.180 their product.

00:44:17.000 Right.

00:44:17.580 And then there's

00:44:18.060 a lot of other

00:44:18.940 private interests

00:44:20.660 that have lobbied

00:44:21.500 for all sorts

00:44:22.140 of unique tax loopholes

00:44:23.580 so that,

00:44:24.520 that,

00:44:24.820 that even further

00:44:25.540 complicates U.S. tax code.

00:44:27.240 There are all these

00:44:27.640 weird deductions

00:44:28.400 and rules

00:44:29.200 and loopholes.

00:44:30.640 And so basically

00:44:31.500 people with money

00:44:32.260 and resources

00:44:32.920 and organizations

00:44:34.160 that make money

00:44:34.920 from people

00:44:35.360 who are forced

00:44:35.920 to navigate

00:44:36.380 this incredibly

00:44:36.920 complex system

00:44:37.800 have made it such

00:44:39.140 that there is

00:44:39.760 no hope

00:44:40.460 of reforming

00:44:41.240 or simplifying

00:44:41.860 U.S. tax code,

00:44:43.560 which is...

00:44:44.060 Well,

00:44:44.320 remember the 999 plan?

00:44:46.480 I love that,

00:44:47.460 that politician.

00:44:48.240 I don't remember

00:44:48.920 the 999.

00:44:49.720 So it was a black 0.99

00:44:50.740 politician in the original... 1.00

00:44:52.300 The rent is too damn 0.63

00:44:53.120 high guy?

00:44:54.260 Yeah,

00:44:54.660 no,

00:44:54.960 no,

00:44:55.460 no,

00:44:55.600 no.

00:44:55.940 This was like

00:44:56.680 the legit guy

00:44:57.460 who was actually

00:44:58.160 top of Republican

00:44:59.060 polling for a pretty 0.95

00:45:00.120 long period.

00:45:00.800 I think this was

00:45:01.220 in the initial

00:45:01.800 Trump election.

00:45:03.200 He ran like

00:45:03.920 Papa John's pieces.

00:45:05.700 Cool.

00:45:06.280 I'll add it in post.

00:45:07.180 Herman Cain

00:45:08.100 is the candidate

00:45:08.720 I was thinking of.

00:45:09.980 He was,

00:45:10.960 I think,

00:45:11.620 in an alternate timeline

00:45:12.680 as crazy and amazing 0.82

00:45:14.020 a president 0.99

00:45:14.460 as Trump was.

00:45:15.540 He was,

00:45:16.260 I loved him

00:45:16.940 so effing much.

00:45:18.700 He was like

00:45:19.180 my guy as a candidate.

00:45:20.600 So he wanted

00:45:21.240 9% income tax,

00:45:23.340 9% tails tax,

00:45:25.180 and 9% business tax

00:45:27.280 across everything,

00:45:29.140 flat tax,

00:45:30.420 and he,

00:45:31.720 one of my favorite

00:45:32.500 things about him

00:45:33.080 is he goes,

00:45:33.600 and to quote

00:45:34.120 a famous poet,

00:45:34.840 and then he

00:45:36.040 went through

00:45:36.560 the lyrics

00:45:37.040 of a song

00:45:37.660 from the Pokemon

00:45:38.340 movie.

00:45:41.760 And it appears

00:45:42.780 that he might

00:45:43.340 not have known

00:45:44.020 he was doing this.

00:45:45.760 I believe these words

00:45:47.300 came from

00:45:49.300 the Pokemon movie.

00:45:53.300 The media

00:45:54.140 pointed that out.

00:45:56.760 I'm not sure

00:45:57.900 who the original

00:45:59.000 author is,

00:45:59.960 so don't go

00:46:01.640 write an article

00:46:02.360 about

00:46:02.880 the poem.

00:46:05.900 But it says

00:46:07.180 a lot

00:46:07.780 about where

00:46:09.540 I am,

00:46:11.040 where I am

00:46:12.020 with my wife

00:46:12.720 and my family,

00:46:13.420 and where we are

00:46:14.240 as a nation.

00:46:18.300 Life

00:46:18.860 can be a challenge.

00:46:22.960 Life can seem

00:46:24.580 impossible.

00:46:26.160 It's never

00:46:28.960 easy

00:46:29.600 when there's

00:46:31.960 so much

00:46:33.140 on the line.

00:46:36.840 But you

00:46:37.760 and I

00:46:38.880 can make

00:46:40.180 a difference.

00:46:42.940 No!

00:46:43.960 That's so good!

00:46:44.720 This guy

00:46:45.580 is my 0.96

00:46:46.860 f***ing hero. 0.96

00:46:48.380 Why did he not, 0.99

00:46:49.620 oh,

00:46:50.080 this makes me

00:46:50.780 so sad.

00:46:51.800 I thought we lived

00:46:52.420 in the best

00:46:53.360 possible timeline.

00:46:53.640 The craziest timeline?

00:46:54.940 No, no, no, no.

00:46:55.320 We don't live

00:46:55.860 in the best possible timeline.

00:46:56.720 Crazier timeline,

00:46:56.940 this guy ended up winning,

00:46:57.960 and I love him.

00:46:59.380 Oh, man.

00:47:00.020 But anyway,

00:47:00.780 that's,

00:47:01.740 but you're never

00:47:03.880 going to,

00:47:04.160 I mean,

00:47:04.360 like 999 is,

00:47:05.580 you know,

00:47:05.880 like German. 0.85

00:47:06.640 No, no, no.

00:47:07.600 I always make

00:47:08.380 my phone extensions

00:47:09.220 when I can choose

00:47:10.040 them,

00:47:10.620 999,

00:47:11.240 because I just want

00:47:11.820 like no, no, no calls.

00:47:13.420 But,

00:47:14.440 I don't know.

00:47:15.100 The word needs

00:47:16.520 some,

00:47:17.180 some,

00:47:18.400 I need some more.

00:47:19.780 Simone,

00:47:20.360 you too frequently

00:47:22.560 use the term

00:47:23.660 live and schram.

00:47:24.640 Yeah.

00:47:25.420 For my liking,

00:47:27.040 you're always like,

00:47:27.720 well,

00:47:27.860 we need more live and schram.

00:47:30.180 Well, no,

00:47:30.700 it's when our kids

00:47:31.220 are in my face,

00:47:31.960 I'm like,

00:47:32.320 get out of my face, 0.99

00:47:33.180 I need more live and schram.

00:47:34.340 I like,

00:47:34.980 well,

00:47:35.100 if people are going

00:47:35.820 to call us Nazis,

00:47:36.640 I just want to keep

00:47:37.400 using like Nazi references,

00:47:39.700 but then you always

00:47:40.360 point out that someone's

00:47:41.320 going to misconstrue it,

00:47:42.540 you know,

00:47:42.940 and like,

00:47:43.520 they are,

00:47:44.600 you know,

00:47:44.980 I'm like walking

00:47:45.640 around our house

00:47:46.480 and I'm like,

00:47:47.220 man,

00:47:47.580 like this,

00:47:48.180 you know,

00:47:48.320 our garbage bag storage

00:47:49.540 bin is just getting

00:47:50.300 too messy.

00:47:50.920 I need a solution,

00:47:52.140 a final solution.

00:47:53.560 And it just,

00:47:54.580 Simone,

00:47:55.320 you are going to get us

00:47:56.320 so in trouble one day.

00:47:57.820 There is one famous person

00:47:59.100 we've met though,

00:48:00.160 where I made like

00:48:01.300 a Nazi reference

00:48:02.060 and he,

00:48:02.720 he got that

00:48:04.100 I was making a joke

00:48:05.180 and it made me feel

00:48:05.800 so validated and okay

00:48:06.960 because at least

00:48:07.980 who was it?

00:48:09.960 The one person.

00:48:10.940 Okay,

00:48:11.360 that guy?

00:48:11.920 Okay,

00:48:12.200 yeah,

00:48:12.540 we can't say.

00:48:14.460 But yeah,

00:48:15.080 when I was asleep?

00:48:16.380 Yes,

00:48:16.740 it was when you were asleep.

00:48:18.260 Oh,

00:48:18.500 you're so sweet.

00:48:19.400 I really appreciate you.

00:48:20.840 I'm sorry.

00:48:21.800 That is one of the biggest

00:48:22.720 mistakes in my life.

00:48:24.440 No,

00:48:24.920 because you would have

00:48:25.520 passed out anyway.

00:48:26.520 It was too late.

00:48:27.840 But yeah,

00:48:28.180 no,

00:48:28.400 no,

00:48:28.620 I hate that I can't

00:48:29.680 make Nazi jokes

00:48:30.700 because the one thing 0.96

00:48:31.900 that Jews always do, 1.00

00:48:33.280 at least they did

00:48:34.120 in the days

00:48:34.600 of Mel Brooks movies,

00:48:35.820 was make Nazi jokes.

00:48:37.160 It's springtime

00:48:39.540 for Hitler 0.94

00:48:40.880 and Germany.

00:48:45.360 We're marching

00:48:47.020 to a faster pace.

00:48:52.160 Look out,

00:48:53.720 here comes

00:48:54.960 the master race.

00:48:58.320 Like,

00:48:58.960 I don't get,

00:49:00.400 and I'm,

00:49:00.840 I'm probably Jewish.

00:49:02.040 Jewish.

00:49:03.020 So,

00:49:04.000 like,

00:49:04.440 technically.

00:49:05.700 She means

00:49:06.260 metrilineally Jewish.

00:49:07.600 We've been

00:49:08.000 looking at getting it

00:49:09.300 approved with the Jewish state,

00:49:10.500 but I just realized,

00:49:11.340 like,

00:49:11.480 we actually don't have,

00:49:13.140 like,

00:49:14.180 I don't have time

00:49:16.000 to go through.

00:49:16.920 Records is mine.

00:49:18.180 We could do it

00:49:18.920 if we really had time,

00:49:20.060 but I just don't care.

00:49:22.380 Like,

00:49:22.860 I care a little bit,

00:49:24.200 but not enough

00:49:24.880 to spend,

00:49:25.560 like,

00:49:26.000 multiple,

00:49:27.080 full days on this.

00:49:27.360 It seems so tedious

00:49:28.220 going through all this.

00:49:28.980 And now we're at a state

00:49:30.060 where it's pretty clear to us

00:49:31.260 that's what it's going to come to.

00:49:32.560 Well,

00:49:32.760 and who cares

00:49:33.840 if I'm actually Jewish or not?

00:49:35.320 We love Jews

00:49:36.300 and we love Jewish.

00:49:37.720 Yeah,

00:49:38.000 but I've also realized

00:49:38.780 I'm not going to let my kids,

00:49:39.980 like,

00:49:40.300 earlier we did a video

00:49:41.160 where we were raising our kids

00:49:42.260 with,

00:49:42.440 like,

00:49:42.660 Jewish religion

00:49:43.300 alongside.

00:49:43.640 Oh,

00:49:43.960 yeah.

00:49:44.800 And we've moved further

00:49:45.920 and further away from that

00:49:46.860 as time has gone.

00:49:47.400 I don't know.

00:49:48.060 I mean,

00:49:48.320 I'm still bullish on them

00:49:49.380 doing some Jewish holidays.

00:49:51.580 Some,

00:49:52.120 but here's the problem.

00:49:53.320 Judaism has been 1.00

00:49:54.240 far,

00:49:54.880 far,

00:49:55.180 far too conquered

00:49:56.200 by its mystical side

00:49:58.080 and,

00:49:59.140 like,

00:50:00.280 I just don't know

00:50:00.760 how much actual Judaism

00:50:01.900 is left.

00:50:02.780 Well,

00:50:03.120 you know,

00:50:03.460 if your stance

00:50:04.140 on mysticism is,

00:50:06.600 it holds,

00:50:07.360 if your theories

00:50:07.980 around mysticism hold,

00:50:09.900 the mystic side

00:50:10.920 will not flourish

00:50:12.460 over the long term

00:50:13.500 and in the end.

00:50:14.260 Right,

00:50:14.720 but if you allow it

00:50:16.060 to conquer,

00:50:16.620 it can destroy

00:50:17.180 an entire culture

00:50:18.120 like it did with Islam 1.00

00:50:19.160 in the system.

00:50:20.000 Oh,

00:50:20.600 I think that there will

00:50:21.740 always be a faction

00:50:22.800 of non-mystic Jews 0.94

00:50:23.840 or mystic Jews 0.54

00:50:25.520 who turn non-mystic

00:50:26.600 when they discover

00:50:27.300 that mysticism

00:50:28.080 is not good for them

00:50:29.620 or not working out

00:50:30.880 that will.

00:50:32.120 Yeah,

00:50:32.340 so when people

00:50:33.600 understand what I mean here,

00:50:34.460 look,

00:50:34.760 it was Christianity,

00:50:35.900 right?

00:50:36.700 Christianity was Judaism 1.00

00:50:37.660 and then we added,

00:50:38.740 you know,

00:50:39.380 some additional texts

00:50:41.020 and it becomes

00:50:41.540 a new religion.

00:50:42.120 You add the New Testament,

00:50:42.860 it becomes a new religion.

00:50:44.180 And then,

00:50:44.540 you know,

00:50:44.840 with Islam,

00:50:46.020 then you add,

00:50:47.080 you know,

00:50:47.380 the Koran

00:50:48.460 and it becomes

00:50:49.000 a new religion.

00:50:49.640 And then Judaism, 0.96

00:50:51.000 you know,

00:50:51.320 what was it,

00:50:52.060 a thousand years ago,

00:50:53.160 500 years ago,

00:50:53.980 they added a new text

00:50:55.480 long after the other religions, 0.99

00:50:57.580 the Kabbalah literature.

00:50:59.720 And it doesn't become

00:51:01.120 a new religion.

00:51:01.880 Why?

00:51:02.720 So when people hear me

00:51:03.900 like a stall Judaism, 0.88

00:51:05.440 I am a stalling

00:51:06.820 the pre and non-mystical Judaism.

00:51:10.800 Yes,

00:51:11.280 the iterations of Judaism 0.85

00:51:13.700 that are antagonistic

00:51:16.660 to Kabbalistic tradition.

00:51:17.740 You've made it clear

00:51:18.720 that pretty much

00:51:19.300 every major religion

00:51:20.240 has factions

00:51:21.140 that you admire

00:51:21.900 and factions

00:51:22.420 that you don't

00:51:22.980 and that's fine.

00:51:24.620 But I don't want to,

00:51:25.520 I mean,

00:51:25.720 we do have to have people

00:51:26.400 that are like,

00:51:26.740 oh,

00:51:26.860 why do you spend

00:51:27.320 so much time

00:51:27.800 in some tracks

00:51:28.360 like arguing

00:51:29.680 that you're not

00:51:30.320 explicitly anti-Semitic?

00:51:31.700 And it's like,

00:51:32.180 well,

00:51:33.680 it's because

00:51:34.460 a lot of people

00:51:35.920 are going to try

00:51:36.320 to paint us that way.

00:51:37.820 I don't know,

00:51:38.300 don't people see us

00:51:39.020 as overly...

00:51:41.060 Well,

00:51:41.980 yeah,

00:51:42.180 some people see us

00:51:42.780 as overly

00:51:43.400 filio-Semitic,

00:51:44.700 which I guess we are.

00:51:46.420 I would say we are.

00:51:48.300 When you look at our friends,

00:51:49.620 when you look at

00:51:50.380 the religious histories

00:51:53.920 that we find

00:51:54.700 most fascinating,

00:51:55.820 religious groups

00:51:56.420 that we think are flourishing,

00:51:58.220 that we think

00:51:59.020 everyone can learn

00:52:00.020 a lot from,

00:52:01.820 groups that we generally

00:52:02.860 respect a lot

00:52:03.780 for their achievements

00:52:04.700 broadly,

00:52:05.600 come on.

00:52:06.780 But whatever.

00:52:07.380 I think that there's

00:52:10.120 a long history

00:52:10.940 of great Jewish comedians

00:52:12.480 and one of the things

00:52:13.600 that comedians

00:52:14.340 turn to a lot

00:52:15.060 is super controversial

00:52:16.060 and not okay subjects,

00:52:17.260 including anti-Semitism.

00:52:18.860 And maybe one of the issues

00:52:20.040 with anti-Semitism

00:52:20.840 these days

00:52:21.560 is that Jews 0.53

00:52:22.340 stop joking about it

00:52:23.500 and suddenly everyone's

00:52:24.260 getting all anti-Semitic

00:52:25.280 and we can't make fun

00:52:26.000 of them anymore.

00:52:26.600 So what's going on, guys?

00:52:27.620 I don't know.

00:52:29.200 Again,

00:52:29.700 we need a solution

00:52:30.540 to this problem.

00:52:32.160 Are you a final solution?

00:52:34.160 Yes, Malcolm. 0.98

00:52:35.380 You are the worst, Simone.

00:52:36.540 I love you.

00:52:37.700 I love you, too.

00:52:38.600 Have a wonderful day.

00:52:40.760 You, too.

00:52:42.800 All right.

00:52:43.400 So for dinner tonight,

00:52:44.860 do we have leftovers

00:52:45.540 from yesterday

00:52:46.140 for the meats?

00:52:47.340 Okay, so it appears

00:52:48.820 we have leftovers

00:52:49.360 of rice as well.

00:52:51.280 A little bit of meat

00:52:51.920 and a little bit of fried rice.

00:52:52.800 I figure it's just

00:52:53.380 the perfect one portion serving.

00:52:55.540 Maybe with some steamed buns?

00:52:57.500 No.

00:52:58.380 If you're adding anything to it,

00:52:59.740 I got some potatoes today.

00:53:01.800 You got potatoes?

00:53:03.580 Either the potatoes

00:53:04.440 or the...

00:53:05.560 You got potatoes

00:53:06.360 at Trader Joe's?

00:53:07.820 Yes.

00:53:09.420 It's a mix

00:53:10.300 of cut potatoes

00:53:11.660 with, like,

00:53:12.520 some, like,

00:53:13.260 French, like, 0.99

00:53:13.980 mushrooms

00:53:14.480 and, like,

00:53:15.280 some other things.

00:53:15.660 Oh, oh,

00:53:16.280 one of the frozen bags.

00:53:17.940 One of the frozen bags.

00:53:19.460 So you cook

00:53:20.120 a little bit of that.

00:53:21.060 I think that would go

00:53:21.660 really well

00:53:22.380 with what I'm eating today.

00:53:24.860 Okay.

00:53:26.000 So is it okay?

00:53:27.080 Do you want me

00:53:27.500 to stir fry

00:53:27.960 everything together?

00:53:29.060 Is that okay?

00:53:30.400 Or do I have to do

00:53:31.060 everything separately?

00:53:31.680 Because I'm just thinking,

00:53:32.940 like,

00:53:33.100 three pans

00:53:33.800 versus one pan 0.72

00:53:34.560 for me in terms

00:53:35.100 of cleanup.

00:53:35.520 That works.

00:53:36.100 That works.

00:53:36.540 Whatever you think

00:53:36.980 is best.

00:53:37.340 Start with the frozen

00:53:38.060 thing and then add

00:53:38.800 the other stuff

00:53:39.360 in later.

00:53:40.380 Hi.

00:53:41.040 Okay.

00:53:41.460 I will do that.

00:53:42.380 I love you.

00:53:43.840 I love you too.

00:53:46.740 God.

00:53:48.000 You need to stop 0.99

00:53:48.660 being so gay, 0.99

00:53:49.480 okay? 0.98

00:53:50.100 Because you're 0.99

00:53:50.440 being pretty gay 0.99

00:53:51.200 right now. 0.90

00:53:51.460 I will always be gay 1.00

00:53:52.260 for you, Malcolm. 0.95

00:53:53.640 And nobody else.

00:53:55.960 God, I love you.

00:53:56.860 I really like our chats,

00:53:58.000 so thanks for this.

00:53:59.580 All right.

00:53:59.860 I'm coming down.

00:54:00.780 How do we keep it fresh?

00:54:02.040 Some people said

00:54:02.520 they don't like

00:54:02.900 our new stuff,

00:54:03.420 by the way.

00:54:05.520 They say we're becoming

00:54:06.360 too algorithm-driven

00:54:07.240 and like,

00:54:07.800 yeah,

00:54:08.220 but I'm winning

00:54:08.980 at the algorithm

00:54:09.540 right now, 1.00

00:54:10.140 so fuck off. 1.00

00:54:11.600 Well, yeah, 1.00

00:54:12.100 if they want to send

00:54:14.280 droves of people

00:54:15.080 to us.

00:54:16.420 Yeah.

00:54:18.500 We got 5,000 subscribers

00:54:20.240 in the last month alone.

00:54:21.640 Like, yeah,

00:54:22.160 I'm algorithm-driven now.

00:54:23.320 I figured it out.

00:54:24.360 Well, yeah,

00:54:24.860 maybe the opinion

00:54:25.640 of those 5,000 people

00:54:27.020 matters a little bit

00:54:28.020 more than the opinion

00:54:28.840 of that one complainer,

00:54:30.380 but also keep in mind,

00:54:31.680 like,

00:54:31.860 when it comes to user studies

00:54:33.000 of any change

00:54:33.740 of any product online,

00:54:34.940 for example,

00:54:36.700 any change

00:54:37.260 is seen antagonistically.

00:54:40.260 Would you like to know more

00:54:41.560 to a theme song intro?

00:54:43.660 But then they will always start

00:54:44.940 with would you like to know more

00:54:46.180 and move into the theme song,

00:54:47.360 right?

00:54:48.160 Maybe.

00:54:48.960 It should.

00:54:50.980 It should.

00:54:52.060 Okay.

00:54:53.120 I really need to get up.

00:54:54.740 I'm just...

00:54:56.120 Having a baby on your lap 0.86

00:54:57.280 is like having a cat

00:54:58.140 on your lap.

00:54:59.000 I don't think you...

00:54:59.940 Have you ever had a cat

00:55:01.080 on your lap in your life?

00:55:03.440 Were they...

00:55:03.940 Yeah.

00:55:04.620 I used to have a cat.

00:55:05.040 Where they fall asleep

00:55:05.860 and then you just...

00:55:07.300 You can't get up

00:55:08.140 because they're on your lap.

00:55:08.720 Oh, my cats weren't

00:55:09.380 like loving cats.

00:55:10.580 Oh.

00:55:11.580 They were...

00:55:12.580 Meow.

00:55:14.020 Murdery cats.

00:55:14.920 Murdery cats.

00:55:16.000 You sure you didn't

00:55:16.640 accidentally adopt

00:55:17.980 a possum or something?

00:55:19.200 So my mom

00:55:20.040 wanted to be

00:55:20.680 as posh as possible,

00:55:21.700 so she got something

00:55:22.260 called Bengal cats,

00:55:23.440 which are...

00:55:23.620 Oh, Bengal cats

00:55:24.540 are famously friendly.

00:55:26.540 No.

00:55:27.380 Ours were not

00:55:28.220 famously friendly.

00:55:29.560 They were...

00:55:29.980 They were little...

00:55:30.760 So they were like

00:55:31.400 a breed

00:55:32.500 where its bred

00:55:33.460 was like wild cats

00:55:34.920 of some kind.

00:55:36.360 I think some form

00:55:37.420 of a wild cat

00:55:38.660 from Africa.

00:55:39.360 I don't know.

00:55:39.560 Not like a panther

00:55:40.420 or something,

00:55:40.840 but something like that,

00:55:41.780 right?

00:55:41.980 Like a bobcat?

00:55:43.700 Something like

00:55:44.560 an African variety

00:55:45.640 of bobcat.

00:55:46.420 Yeah.

00:55:47.140 From Bengal.

00:55:47.840 Yeah.

00:55:48.220 It's...

00:55:48.840 And so they're

00:55:49.260 very hunting focused.

00:55:51.260 I remember one year

00:55:52.240 we got really punished

00:55:53.140 because all the

00:55:54.000 Christmas presents

00:55:54.720 were like torn in

00:55:56.660 too early

00:55:57.140 and it turned out

00:55:57.900 that it was our cats

00:55:58.660 and our parents

00:55:59.520 recognized us

00:56:00.220 after punishing us.

00:56:03.220 I mean,

00:56:03.840 considering your track record

00:56:04.960 then probably

00:56:05.620 every other thing

00:56:06.600 was your fault.

00:56:07.720 Like I could see...

00:56:08.300 Well, I was like

00:56:08.740 I would have been

00:56:09.460 more tactful about it.

00:56:10.640 I wouldn't have

00:56:11.020 ripped the packaging.

00:56:12.520 This is why

00:56:13.380 you had so many problems

00:56:14.660 as a kid.

00:56:15.320 Every time someone

00:56:16.020 blamed you for something

00:56:16.800 you're like,

00:56:17.240 well, if I really

00:56:17.840 wanted to do it

00:56:18.540 I would do this.

00:56:19.260 And then suddenly

00:56:19.780 you get expelled.

00:56:20.760 This genuinely

00:56:21.640 got me in trouble

00:56:22.180 so many times.

00:56:23.080 I'd get accused

00:56:23.760 of like doing X

00:56:25.240 and I'd be like,

00:56:25.800 no, if I was going

00:56:26.520 to do X

00:56:26.980 I'd do it this way.

00:56:28.180 It was always

00:56:29.200 so much more

00:56:29.900 like this

00:56:31.260 is one of the things

00:56:32.660 when I kicked out

00:56:33.400 of the first school

00:56:33.920 I got kicked out of.

00:56:35.260 They were like,

00:56:36.080 oh, we think

00:56:37.380 that you would do

00:56:38.560 like X

00:56:39.240 to harm other students.

00:56:41.180 And I was like

00:56:42.060 offended

00:56:42.940 because like Columbine

00:56:44.180 had just happened

00:56:44.800 and they were like

00:56:46.160 just looking

00:56:46.640 for any weird kid.

00:56:47.800 And I was like,

00:56:49.600 excuse me.

00:56:51.340 Excuse me, sir.

00:56:53.260 Here are ways 1.00

00:56:54.200 I could kill 1.00

00:56:54.820 everyone in this school 1.00

00:56:56.160 without anyone

00:56:57.860 being able to respond.

00:56:59.460 Those kids 1.00

00:57:00.260 were idiots. 1.00

00:57:01.300 You couldn't get 1.00

00:57:02.240 a damn bomb 1.00

00:57:03.460 to work? 1.00

00:57:04.260 A pipe bomb?

00:57:05.620 That's not difficult.

00:57:07.400 And I started

00:57:07.840 going through

00:57:08.460 like sketching

00:57:09.080 through how that

00:57:09.820 could work,

00:57:10.460 how you could

00:57:10.940 create gases

00:57:12.100 by mixing,

00:57:13.260 you know,

00:57:13.800 various cleaning

00:57:14.760 fluids

00:57:15.240 that could pretty 0.71

00:57:16.500 easily gas a room

00:57:17.720 before people noticed.

00:57:19.340 Very good point though.

00:57:20.580 Oh God, no.

00:57:21.640 Yeah, that's

00:57:22.200 yeah, I was like

00:57:22.960 how to do that.

00:57:23.760 But yeah,

00:57:24.020 that's very easy to do.

00:57:25.100 But you don't

00:57:25.920 insult my intelligence,

00:57:27.620 okay?

00:57:28.180 You don't say

00:57:29.260 that I'm some savage

00:57:30.540 who's just going to

00:57:31.440 go out there 0.51

00:57:32.360 shooting people. 0.99

00:57:33.540 This is what we have 0.99

00:57:34.360 to look forward to

00:57:35.000 with our children.

00:57:35.740 Our children are already

00:57:36.640 showing karma

00:57:37.480 with being such

00:57:38.180 picky eaters

00:57:38.760 and I was a famously

00:57:39.520 picky eater.

00:57:40.220 They're going to be

00:57:40.800 just as

00:57:41.660 anti-authoritarian

00:57:43.060 and difficult

00:57:43.600 in larger biographies

00:57:45.560 as you are.

00:57:46.620 I love you.

00:57:47.700 I love you too.

00:57:48.700 Bye Malcolm.

00:57:49.620 Have a good one.

00:57:52.780 Karate chop.

00:57:53.700 Oh no,

00:57:56.120 are you teaching

00:57:56.600 her karate moves? 0.65

00:57:57.960 Teaching her how

00:57:58.720 to be part

00:57:59.520 of our secret service.

00:58:01.600 So she,

00:58:02.020 yeah.

00:58:04.260 But she will make sure

00:58:06.220 that when someone

00:58:07.460 shoots at you,

00:58:08.640 they still shoot

00:58:09.480 and they just

00:58:10.060 tastefully nick you

00:58:11.520 right here.

00:58:12.600 You know,

00:58:12.760 you got to have that

00:58:13.460 I love it.

00:58:14.840 That perfect scar.

00:58:16.360 He got nicked

00:58:17.100 in the ear on the first one.

00:58:17.900 No, but he didn't know

00:58:18.840 everyone wants

00:58:19.720 like that

00:58:20.340 that face scar

00:58:21.740 that makes you

00:58:22.300 look badass.

00:58:22.820 Oh yeah, I want that too.

00:58:23.620 But it needs to be

00:58:24.380 in just the right place.

00:58:26.340 So the perfect

00:58:27.280 secret service person,

00:58:29.060 yes, 1.00

00:58:29.640 lets them shoot, 1.00

00:58:31.300 makes sure that they 1.00

00:58:32.200 shoot in exactly

00:58:33.060 the right angle

00:58:33.780 that gives you

00:58:34.280 the badass scar

00:58:35.240 and then gives you

00:58:36.280 enough time to do

00:58:37.180 what they did with Trump

00:58:37.980 where he did his little

00:58:38.820 like,

00:58:39.860 fight, fight, fight.

00:58:43.240 Yeah, they got to

00:58:43.920 let me up for the

00:58:44.500 fight, fight, fight.

00:58:45.620 Or while they're

00:58:47.040 holding me down, 0.96

00:58:47.700 they shoot me 0.61

00:58:48.280 just in case it misses. 0.99

00:58:49.920 Oh yeah, just

00:58:50.500 didn't, yeah, yeah.

00:58:52.820 You couldn't really tell.

00:58:54.380 There's all the crossfire,

00:58:55.880 you know,

00:58:56.240 people shooting back

00:58:57.220 at the attempting

00:58:58.160 assassin.

00:58:59.160 So who would know? 0.64

00:59:00.860 Who would know?

00:59:02.040 You know,

00:59:02.340 they could just argue

00:59:03.020 and then, yeah.

00:59:03.980 They're like,

00:59:04.560 oh, it's not a bullet wound.

00:59:05.580 It's shrapnel.

00:59:06.380 Well, yeah,

00:59:07.380 because that would,

00:59:08.380 it's, yeah,

00:59:08.720 shrapnel's so much

00:59:09.740 less badass.

00:59:10.700 Although it's way

00:59:11.460 more damaging

00:59:12.100 in many cases.

00:59:13.060 I mean,

00:59:13.280 I think most people

00:59:14.000 who have shrapnel wounds

00:59:15.060 wish that they were 1.00

00:59:16.180 shot with bullets. 0.99

00:59:16.800 Oh, it's like, 0.95

00:59:17.200 oh, the president

00:59:17.940 didn't,

00:59:18.820 he wasn't assassinated.

00:59:20.000 The shrapnel killed him.

00:59:21.320 Oh yeah,

00:59:21.820 well, yeah.

00:59:23.400 Shrapnel never hurt anyone.

00:59:25.160 I mean.

00:59:25.440 Oh my gosh.

00:59:26.420 Yeah.

00:59:27.360 What do they think it is?

00:59:28.360 Like,

00:59:28.680 like foam balls

00:59:29.720 being thrown at you?

00:59:31.160 Like.

00:59:31.240 Oh,

00:59:31.940 well,

00:59:32.260 come on.

00:59:32.900 Everyone even knows

00:59:33.680 that shrapnel's a big deal

00:59:34.840 because of Iron Man.

00:59:36.940 Still makes you look.

00:59:38.020 Oh yeah,

00:59:38.320 because it's hard,

00:59:39.080 right?

00:59:39.360 That was the whole point.

00:59:40.360 The whole point.

00:59:41.360 The shrapnel.

00:59:43.040 The shrapnel.

00:59:43.500 I want like a progressive

00:59:46.320 who's constantly

00:59:47.280 whenever Iron Man

00:59:48.160 is like,

00:59:48.540 well,

00:59:48.640 and I have this situation

00:59:49.740 with my heart

00:59:50.280 and they're like,

00:59:50.700 it's only shrapnel.

00:59:54.260 Oh boy.

00:59:55.220 Well,

00:59:55.460 I mean,

00:59:55.720 Kamala Harris

00:59:56.400 is so prepared

00:59:57.640 as a candidate.

00:59:58.980 You know,

00:59:59.120 everything is boxed.

01:00:00.160 Everything's written for her.

01:00:01.220 I hope that her team

01:00:02.360 has prepared her

01:00:03.240 with what she would do

01:00:04.720 to look badass

01:00:05.360 if someone attempted 0.87

01:00:06.500 to assassinate her.

01:00:08.060 I mean, 0.98

01:00:08.200 no doubt she has received

01:00:09.120 plenty of death threats

01:00:10.040 as well.

01:00:10.600 So hopefully she has her

01:00:12.400 rehearsal.

01:00:13.500 I feel like

01:00:15.460 I am the type of person

01:00:16.440 when running for president

01:00:17.380 that I'm going to get 0.90

01:00:18.200 a tasteful assassination attempt 0.97

01:00:20.480 for one of our supporters.

01:00:23.480 There you go,

01:00:25.080 sir.

01:00:25.680 Give me a good visible

01:00:28.020 nick here

01:00:28.840 or something like that

01:00:29.860 so I can,

01:00:30.580 you know.

01:00:31.180 This is how you get 0.68

01:00:32.200 your jaw shot off

01:00:33.180 by mistake,

01:00:33.880 Malcolm.

01:00:34.800 Don't.

01:00:35.840 Don't.

01:00:36.640 No,

01:00:36.860 no,

01:00:37.000 that's that.

01:00:38.160 Whatever,

01:00:38.780 whatever happens,

01:00:39.960 you know,

01:00:40.160 I'm going to look great

01:00:40.900 coming out of this.

01:00:41.640 You have no idea.

01:00:42.120 No,

01:00:42.360 for the record,

01:00:43.220 do not,

01:00:43.740 do not.

01:00:44.400 No,

01:00:44.920 no,

01:00:45.820 no.

01:00:47.500 And Malcolm,

01:00:48.520 no,

01:00:50.100 no.

01:00:50.900 We get enough

01:00:52.240 death threats already.

01:00:54.900 Yeah,

01:00:55.340 but they're all going to 0.74

01:00:56.080 hit you with a baseball bat.

01:00:57.500 That's the, 0.96

01:00:58.020 that's a go-to.

01:00:59.420 Oh,

01:00:59.620 that's what they say?

01:01:00.740 Well,

01:01:01.260 because progressives

01:01:02.380 don't own guns.

01:01:04.360 I mean,

01:01:04.620 the core thing

01:01:05.280 that obviously

01:01:05.800 they're going to try

01:01:06.300 to do is turn

01:01:06.820 our kids against us.

01:01:07.660 Like,

01:01:07.800 that's what they keep

01:01:08.420 saying.

01:01:09.380 That's the core fantasy.

01:01:10.960 Joke's on them.

01:01:11.760 They're already

01:01:12.320 turned against us.

01:01:13.500 They constantly rebel.

01:01:16.080 Yeah,

01:01:16.300 I don't think

01:01:17.220 they know

01:01:17.720 what they're getting

01:01:18.600 their hands on.

01:01:19.780 I know the moment

01:01:20.740 one of our kids,

01:01:21.520 they'll,

01:01:21.840 they'll be like,

01:01:22.400 okay,

01:01:23.020 we'll bring you in

01:01:23.900 and we'll turn you 0.99

01:01:24.420 against your parents 0.93

01:01:25.100 and then the kids

01:01:25.640 running the group

01:01:26.440 was in like a month

01:01:27.440 and doing some crazy

01:01:28.580 thing with it.

01:01:29.420 It would backfire.

01:01:30.640 The problem is

01:01:31.520 if,

01:01:32.040 if they tried

01:01:33.100 to get them

01:01:33.920 to do anything,

01:01:34.940 the kids would

01:01:35.680 subvert it somehow

01:01:36.620 because that's what

01:01:37.360 they do with any

01:01:38.340 attempt that we ever

01:01:39.180 make.

01:01:40.120 Yeah,

01:01:40.600 so the data

01:01:41.720 that we've,

01:01:42.320 we've,

01:01:42.680 we've worked on the

01:01:44.280 counter brainwashing 0.72

01:01:45.520 already,

01:01:45.920 guys.

01:01:46.300 You got,

01:01:46.600 you got nothing here.

01:01:47.360 Okay,

01:01:47.820 so I'll get started.

01:01:48.760 All right,

01:01:48.960 Simone?

01:01:49.840 Let's do it.

01:01:50.540 I love her idly

01:01:51.300 playing with your thing,

01:01:52.440 looking at your face.

01:01:54.160 She's figuring out stuff.

01:01:55.980 She is.

01:01:56.640 She's coming online.

01:01:57.680 Right.
