00:00:28.000Hey dudes, that was just some random dude from the Baju tribe in the Philippines.
00:00:35.000And these guys don't really go to land.
00:00:58.000They need some strings in there and they could make their own rock and roll.
00:01:03.000I think that tribe really helps the argument about the aquatic ape theory, which if you listen to my podcast, you know I'm obsessed with and is getting more in traction as we get older.
00:01:12.000It's becoming less of a flat earth kind of a thing and more people are taking it seriously.
00:01:59.000I'm focusing today on the ones who pretend it's like being black or handicapped and it's something you're born with that you can't prevent.
00:04:27.000And the reason why I feel like that is because, Kanye, you're entitled to your opinion.
00:04:32.000You're entitled to believe whatever you want.
00:04:34.000There is fact and real world, real life consequence behind everything that you just said.
00:04:41.000And while you are making music and being an artist and living the life that you've earned by being a genius, the rest of us in society have to deal with these threats to our lives.
00:04:52.000We have to deal with the marginalization that's come from the 400 years of slavery that you said for our people was a choice.
00:05:01.000Every day we have to walk into that truth while you choose to say things that, to be honest with you, dog, are nonsensical.
00:05:11.000I'll combat your free thought with my free thought because mine is grounded in a reality that I've been giving and a reality that I'm going.
00:05:46.000Cops and other people, he lives in constant threat, not just racism where people think he's human garbage and spit on him and go like that behind his back.
00:05:53.000But also cops got their rifle sights on.
00:06:29.000I saw a salon had an article about him, and it was written by a guy who said, Some of the writing on the left, I don't check it out often, but when I do actually read these articles, I go, you're illiterate.
00:06:42.000Some guy named D. Watkins, right, has said that he has a mental illness.
00:06:48.000And you're ready for what the mental illness is?
00:07:26.000The guy who wrote that quote I just told you about addicted to money was a heroin dealer.
00:07:31.000You want to talk about selling your soul?
00:07:32.000How many people did he kill with his heroin?
00:07:37.000Even if you have sort of disowned that past and apologized for everything, I don't really think you get to be on your high horse and tell other people that they're selling their soul and they're greedy for a quote.
00:07:48.000He didn't sell anyone a drug that you OD on and die, you pig.
00:08:33.000You want to talk about living in the past.
00:08:36.000By the way, do you want to, everyone, should we have the little kids who worked in the coal mines during the Industrial Revolution?
00:08:42.000Do you want to see a modern display of white victims of black crime?
00:08:46.000Should we have a giant statue of that couple, what was it in Kansas, that Christian couple, who were murdered, raped, burned alive for days by five people?
00:09:08.000It's beyond depressing, and it's a uniquely American thing.
00:09:12.000This should be called, this should be a statue as a thank you to the West for abolishing slavery globally, by the way, not just in America.
00:12:02.000Fat people are some of my best people.
00:12:05.000But you have to concede that if you represent the majority of fat people, let's say 95%, you're dying and you're choosing to be dying.
00:12:17.000So there's going to be some cultural backlash to that, just like heroin addicts, just like smokers.
00:12:24.000If you're a natural fat, sorry, it sucks to be you.
00:12:27.000But for the most part, when you're getting like this, you're dying.
00:12:30.000And I talk to surgeons, by the way, who tell me that back in the 80s, you had one crazy chair for fat people, and they had it custom-made by a welder, and it could handle 800 pounds.
00:12:41.000They go, now, and we had one per hospital, now that's the normal chair.
00:12:46.000Now they have to recut door sizes on hospital rooms.
00:12:52.000They don't know how to stitch up fat people because you cut the skin, you burn through the fat, you do the operation.
00:12:59.000Now you can't Stitch them up because the split fat is always sort of pushing, and when you sew it, you rip the sutures out.
00:13:07.000So, if you are fat, it's a free country.
00:13:11.000You're messing up hospitals, but I don't hate you and we don't want you to die.
00:13:16.000But you're not a victim, you're not black, you're not paralyzed, you're not handicapped, you're not blind or deaf, you are a fried chicken addict.
00:15:16.000And by the way, I've been going to Britain my whole life and I definitely remember the same time you started seeing KFC joints, which is like 20 years ago, is when the epidemic just started, started happening.
00:19:16.000I do take more of a bus seat up than a normal-sized person would.
00:19:19.000Just because I'm a big girl doesn't mean I can't be effective, and it doesn't mean that you have the right to judge me based on what I look like.
00:19:26.000Okay, this is a common thing they say.
00:19:28.000They go, you don't know how Fit, I am when someone weighs 300 pounds.
00:20:22.000Why are we attracted to beauty in the first place?
00:20:25.000We're attracted to fit women with childbearing hips, by the way, because we want to breed.
00:20:29.000There's a normal instinct to not be attracted to someone who is dying.
00:20:34.000Sorry, when you see, do you get horny when you see a junkie on the streets going and doing that thing where they think they're a tripod and they can fall asleep and stand at the same time?
00:20:44.000No, because you go, there's a dying person.
00:20:45.000I don't want to have a baby with that person.
00:20:47.000She, meanwhile, is having babies with her boyfriend who's not going to stick around.
00:21:55.000And weight loss surgery, by the way, would be perfect for you.
00:21:57.000You know that surgeon I was talking about when I said that his whole career has changed drastically in the past 15 years?
00:22:04.000He told me that if the government paid for gastric bypasses for weight loss surgery where they shrink your stomach down, the government provided them for free, we would be financially ahead.
00:22:17.000He made a libertarian argument for the government giving free weight loss surgery because it is so expensive dealing with all these fat people.
00:22:26.000And I had a, it's a long story, but I fell on a fire nude.
00:22:31.000So I had to have my butt cheeks treated.
00:22:35.000And I'm sitting in the emergency room, which I'm in like once every five years.
00:22:41.000And every single person there was fat.
00:22:42.000They had these big, huge chairs in the waiting room, and they were filled with fat people, and they couldn't fit in the normal chair.
00:22:48.000So they would just sit on their giant legs that looked like caterpillars, these big fat tubes.
00:22:54.000And it wasn't uncomfortable for them because they're just sitting on their bodies or pillows.
00:22:58.000And they were all, one woman was playing video games on her tits because her tits came straight out like this so she could rest on it like a table and she was my age and she was just complaining about how the doctor said he was going to fix her weeping sores and she gave him this medication and it didn't work so she's all pissed that he screwed up with her sores no you screwed up all right go ahead listen to how often this woman goes to the doctor walks into the doctor for a flu shot and gets a lecture about bmi fat girl walks into the doctor's with an
00:23:28.000and gets asked if she's ever eaten a salad.
00:23:32.000Fat girl walks into the doctor's office with a spider bite, and the doctor obsesses over how low her blood pressure is.
00:24:43.000Fat girl walks into the doctor's to ask about antidepressants and gets prescribed exercise instead because obviously her depression is because of her fat.
00:24:54.000And obviously fat bodies never exercise and stay fat.
00:24:58.000Fat girl walks into the doctor's office for a standard three-month follow-up appointment, and the doctor says, have you considered that weight loss surgery yet?
00:26:33.000You look like you were twisted into shape by a clown.
00:26:37.000No, but seriously, folks, those arms are so turgid, she looks like sausage casing.
00:26:44.000I think this might be one of the few cases where she can't help but she has a disease, a thyroid, whatever.
00:26:51.000And she's going to sit here and complain about weight bias.
00:26:54.000And to her, I say, look, I'm sorry if you are magically like that and there's nothing you can do and it's not from fried chicken or exercise, but you represent a fraction of the fat people.
00:27:04.000And we were living in an obesity epidemic where there's 500,000 obesity-related deaths per year.
00:27:12.000We're concerned about it as a culture.
00:28:38.000But weight bias that I've experienced in healthcare has hurt me physically.
00:28:44.000When doctors and nurses have the perception that I'm lazy and unmotivated and non-compliant, that influences the care they provide and then has a negative impact on my health.
00:28:57.000You have a negative impact on your health.
00:29:21.000You are being lied to about biases in America today.
00:29:26.000But if there's one person who's at the bottom of the list when it comes to complaining, it's these people in blackface, basically, in fried chicken-induced blackface, complaining about their lot in life.
00:31:00.000And as a guy who's new to Catholicism, I like asking him ponderous questions, such as you pray for the Mets when they're playing, and then you pray for your daughter who's sick.
00:32:03.000But when bad stuff happens as a result of the work of Satan, who I'm not a fan of, by the way, he ends up two thumbs down for Satan.
00:32:13.000But God allows it, and then in the long run, he ends up doing amazing things with it.
00:32:17.000So for instance, like the child you mentioned, and this is something I would never say to a grieving set of parents because it would be insensitive, but that child will end up eternally happy.
00:32:27.000And in fact, in ways that they may never know, great things will come of that child's suffering and death.
00:32:33.000Well, the atheists are obsessed with the trouble with evil, the problem with evil.
00:32:39.000But the deists in general have a good argument, and it's not that argument.
00:33:21.000Yeah, no, no, and I would actually say I like that so much that, and I kind of have toyed with atheism and despair myself.
00:33:29.000And I would have loved to have heard that at many points in my life.
00:33:32.000I would actually even say that isn't really, in its essence, incompatible with what I believe now, which is more or less Catholic doctrine.
00:33:40.000And so what I said about the permissive will, I think that is true, isn't it?
00:33:44.000I mean, like, things, most, tons of things happen that God doesn't intercede with regard to, and it shouldn't be a problem for us to accept that, hey, look, the world isn't chaos where, like you said, everyone is Superman and completely reorders reality on a whim when they're, say, their child gets sick.
00:34:16.000And if you look at the span of human life, although obesity is starting to change that, but it's just average lifespan getting more and more and more.
00:34:25.000So it's like he set this domino and knew that it would be on the way to perfection because it's inarguable that every year things improve.
00:35:04.000I mean, like in comparison to having it never happen, it happens a remarkable number of times.
00:35:09.000But we call those miracles, and they are completely, they shouldn't be thought of as like, well, if this doesn't happen, then something's wrong.
00:35:33.000Yeah, he doesn't believe in God because his wife passed away.
00:35:37.000No, Ron Coleman's argument is that he does sweat this.
00:35:40.000Ron Coleman's a Jewish friend of mine who's a free speech advocate.
00:35:43.000I don't know why I just said his name like everyone would know who he is, but he's the guy who got that ban, The Slants, to be able to use their name.
00:35:48.000Anyway, he's an intellectual and he's Orthodox Jewish.
00:35:51.000But his argument is, look, we're talking about a being that was able to create the universe in a big bang 3.5 billion years ago or whatever.
00:36:00.000So you're talking about that kind of power and that kind of omnipotence, that kind of ubiquity.
00:36:06.000Something of that strength can handle, you know, you on your skateboard, like the Mets game, he can handle.
00:36:40.000No, I mean, you know, and I'd be, no, I'd be like Mike Pence, you know, with the zaps coming out of my eyes, you know, like a handmaid's tail going on.
00:36:48.000It'd be a pretty good, sweet setup for me.
00:36:50.000But the thing is, like, God doesn't, like I said, completely alter reality.
00:36:56.000And there's something kind of sweet about that.
00:38:09.000But anyway, there's an innate reward you get from hard work.
00:38:13.000And I think that's part of the grand design.
00:38:15.000Similarly, you get nightmares when you murder people, and you tend to get murdered yourself.
00:38:20.000I mean, there's all these checks and balances put in there.
00:38:23.000Unfortunately, sick kids is part of that.
00:38:25.000Yeah, and if you try to hang on to power, like say, you know, royals in the Middle Ages or Renaissance, you know, by inbreeding, you know, fate is written into our genes, literally.
00:38:34.000You end up with kids who die young and ones who survive into adulthood end up looking like malnurtured beasts.
00:39:13.000Remember when we were kids, you'd burn so bad that you could try to get the biggest piece you could possibly get?
00:39:19.000Yeah, I also remember, you know, storing, it was like those ponchos that you take, those hipster ponchos where you drink out of your back from those things.
00:40:03.000No one knew who was behind a string of armed robberies on Long Island, but they saw his face on TV and the mom convinced him to turn himself in.
00:40:10.000And the quote from him is, a mother knows her child.
00:40:13.000Well, clearly, a father doesn't know her child.
00:40:16.000No, I don't mean to disparage African Americans.
