Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 14 — Ukraine Tranny FIRED. Russell Brand vs. The World. Ban Pit Bulls？

00:00:00.520 From the age of Big Brother.

00:00:03.260 If they want to get you, they'll get you.

00:00:05.620 The NSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.

00:00:09.560 They're collecting your communications.

00:00:14.900 Okay, everybody.

00:00:20.700 Happy Thursday evening.

00:00:22.900 The revolution continues.

00:00:24.220 We can still commit thought crimes for now.

00:00:26.440 Joining us tonight is fan favorite, 10 out of 10 rated, Blake Neff.

00:00:31.480 Say hi, Blake.

00:00:32.320 Hello.

00:00:33.580 That's where he goes.

00:00:34.160 Hi, Blake.

00:00:35.800 Andrew.

00:00:36.860 Andrew Colvitt.

00:00:37.800 Yes.

00:00:38.260 Hello.

00:00:38.640 Producer Andrew.

00:00:39.060 And Jack Posobiec.

00:00:40.720 I can't wait for the Halloween episode where Blake is like,

00:00:43.480 Welcome to my land.

00:00:46.940 Okay, let's dive right into it.

00:00:50.760 Jack, true or false?

00:00:52.700 We got a tranny fired. 1.00

00:00:55.820 True.

00:00:56.680 100% true.

00:00:58.100 Although, if I might add, the tranny has not just been fired. 1.00

00:01:02.380 This is in the, quote unquote, Sarah Ashton Cirillo, aka, actually known as Mike Ashton Cirillo,

00:01:09.820 the spokes tranny for the Ukrainian military. 0.94

00:01:12.900 Not just fired, but actually placed under military investigation.

00:01:17.900 So, very excited.

00:01:19.520 Not a good thing to be under military.

00:01:21.640 So, do we have the tape? 0.57

00:01:22.920 We have the tape of her talking about the Russian devils.

00:01:25.400 And then the question is, was there a Russian devil that was taken up by other means?

00:01:29.520 Which actually segues to our second topic.

00:01:31.640 We'll see.

00:01:32.040 That is a real thought crime.

00:01:33.460 But Jack, build this out.

00:01:34.500 You're on some sort of Ukrainian hit list. 1.00

00:01:36.380 The Ukrainian government wants you dead. 0.99

00:01:38.120 But let's go through. 0.99

00:01:39.460 Play cut 22.

00:01:40.520 Hey, they can take a number.

00:01:41.680 Play cut 22.

00:01:42.440 If you are a man, do not take estrogen.

00:01:45.940 It does weird things to you.

00:01:47.840 Play cut 22.

00:01:53.380 Okay, stand by.

00:01:54.860 So, Jack, tell us about it, and then we'll get to it.

00:01:58.940 So, yeah.

00:02:00.640 The Ukrainian government, specifically their intelligence service, the SBU, has this website known as Murovorets.

00:02:08.600 And Murovorets is this, it translates roughly to peacemaker, but it's been referred to as a kill list or a hit list where they will place people that they consider to be, quote, enemies of Ukraine.

00:02:21.260 And now Elon Musk appeared on this list at one point.

00:02:24.980 The Pope appeared on this list at one point.

00:02:28.060 Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald are on this list.

00:02:30.600 And while we might think it's funny or silly, there's actually an American hostage right now that's being held by the Ukrainian government, a blogger and YouTuber by the name of Gonzalo Lira, who was living in Ukraine and was posting on his YouTube channel that he disagreed with Zelensky's government.

00:02:47.800 He was then summarily arrested by the special services of Ukraine and has since disappeared.

00:02:53.400 There have also been people that were placed on this list, including an Italian journalist, Andrea Rocelli, and numerous Russian bloggers, as well as one girl who's the daughter of a Russian political figure, who were assassinated in Russia using car bombs and other improvised explosive devices after being placed on this list.

00:03:15.960 After their killings, their entries on this dossier list wrote liquidated.

00:03:20.460 So I was placed on this list, and I was made aware of that earlier this week, right around the same time that you were really exposing everything this American, I guess the word is American recruit for Ukrainian forces, Ashton Cirillo, was saying in this completely unhinged rant, saying all Russian propagandists will be hunted down wherever you are.

00:03:47.560 And your teeth will gnash as we show you justice, only he's not the one who was dishing out the justice.

00:03:56.460 It turns out he's actually the one who's facing justice now.

00:04:00.220 And so let's play the tape here.

00:04:02.220 And this is now play cut 22.

00:04:05.560 Russia hates the truth that their obsessive focus on a Ukrainian volunteer is simply allowing the light of the Ukrainian nation's honesty to shine brightly. 0.81

00:04:14.840 Next week, the teeth of the Russian devils will gnash ever harder, and their rabid mouths will foam in uncontrollable frenzy, 1.00

00:04:23.520 as the world will see a favorite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes. 0.99

00:04:28.780 And this puppet of Putin is only the first.

00:04:32.620 Russia's war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down, and justice will be served,

00:04:37.420 as we in Ukraine are led on this mission, by faith in God, liberty, and complete liberation.

00:04:44.420 So, interesting headline here from Axios.

00:04:48.360 Zelensky's frosty welcome.

00:04:50.480 I'm going to read from Axios and tie this together, and Blake, I want your comment on this, okay?

00:04:54.840 Nine months ago, somebody's phone is buzzing a lot.

00:04:57.600 So, nine months ago, Zelensky received a two-minute standing ovation from both Democrats and Republicans.

00:05:04.620 This looks like a distant dream, compared to what Zelensky has faced on his second wartime trip to Washington.

00:05:13.000 Some lawmakers are openly mocking Zelensky.

00:05:16.000 Privately, coalition is building against Zelensky in both parties.

00:05:20.260 Driving the news, Senator J.D. Vance and Chip Roy, six Republican senators and 22 House members,

00:05:24.860 sent an open letter saying, no more money to Ukraine.

00:05:27.520 Blake, is it possible that our tweet reached 5 million people, we talked about it in our program,

00:05:33.280 that the CIA-Ukraine, let's just say, Axis, or, you know, coalition,

00:05:39.500 they said, look, not a great idea to have a trans spokesperson who's threatening Westerners in English 1.00

00:05:45.080 if we're trying to get more money out of Americans.

00:05:47.120 I think it is a very real possibility.

00:05:49.700 I would be stunned if there was not a phone call that happened somewhere along the line

00:05:54.700 that just says, like, dude, you guys, like...

00:05:57.040 You're not helping the cause.

00:05:57.980 To make this work, to keep the funding going, they need a bipartisan thing.

00:06:01.620 They have to make this a nonpartisan issue by having people on both sides.

00:06:04.480 Blank check, just got to continue.

00:06:05.280 If this becomes a Democrat versus Republican issue, Ukraine stops getting funding.

00:06:09.520 And the fastest way for that to happen is if Ukraine's, like, English-speaking mascot is this, like... 0.62

00:06:15.900 Who's an American passport holder.

00:06:17.040 An American passport holder who's grown breasts due to the hormones that he's taking 0.99

00:06:21.060 and makes these bizarre videos where he's, like, faking some voice to sound, you know, like...

00:06:27.420 We will...

00:06:28.060 But are we supposed to believe...

00:06:30.220 This is what's interesting to me.

00:06:31.160 Are we supposed to believe that nobody in the hierarchy of the Ukrainian military proofread this speech that...

00:06:35.420 No, that was just the spokesperson.

00:06:37.480 They're putting this person aside.

00:06:39.760 Spokesman.

00:06:40.620 Yeah, spokesman.

00:06:41.440 We've got to be firm on this, Charlie.

00:06:42.380 Okay, got it.

00:06:42.940 Spokesman.

00:06:43.460 Spokes dude.

00:06:43.880 Spokes stewardesses. 1.00

00:06:45.160 Spokes trans. 1.00

00:06:45.520 But, Andrew, I think you're the best at this.

00:06:48.600 Brag on our show and Jack a little bit.

00:06:50.560 We were just kind of a ragtag remnant with no Tucker Carlson, because Tucker would have

00:06:53.840 done this himself, right?

00:06:54.820 Tucker would have handled this in 10 minutes.

00:06:56.480 Yeah.

00:06:56.920 But, hey, there's a little bit of fight left.

00:06:59.960 This is an interesting little...

00:07:01.240 Another wrinkle of the power of our audience.

00:07:03.300 No, this was a 100% takedown.

00:07:06.660 I said that Jack and Charlie single-handedly took this down, but it would be, like, double-handedly

00:07:10.860 took this dude down.

00:07:12.200 Yeah, and by the way, one of the things...

00:07:14.020 Jack...

00:07:14.580 Sorry, I'm having a little trouble with my IP.

00:07:16.220 One of the things, Jack, maybe you know the details on this.

00:07:19.240 Sarah Ashton...

00:07:20.520 Sarah Ashton Cirillo is actually a registered Republican.

00:07:25.420 His bio is, like, from the state of Nevada, was active in politics as a Republican, which,

00:07:32.520 you know, should tell you something about the state of Republican politics, often at the

00:07:36.920 state level.

00:07:37.840 But what's crazy is, I think you actually flagged the tweet.

00:07:42.280 You found the video, and, like...

00:07:44.540 The video was posted by one of those, like, hardcore Ukraine watchers.

00:07:47.540 Yes.

00:07:47.780 Who probably is, like, a Russian propagandist, actually.

00:07:50.260 Right.

00:07:50.320 And actually, the original narrative was, like, look at this trans-Ukrainian or American

00:07:55.760 that's now in Ukraine going viral on the internet.

00:07:58.460 And we're like, that's not viral.

00:07:59.960 That's disgusting and, like, terrifying.

00:08:02.740 Gnashing of teeth, foaming. 0.67

00:08:04.300 So, it was like, we gotta blow this up.

00:08:07.460 You blew it up, and instantly, we get this...

00:08:13.240 Actually, it was three steps.

00:08:14.920 Blew it up.

00:08:15.880 Everybody starts posting about it.

00:08:17.900 Jack, you were definitely, like, in the mix.

00:08:20.180 You might have posted before Charlie posted about it.

00:08:23.000 But I didn't see that.

00:08:24.660 But it then, Sarah Ashton comes to the United States, gets honored by the Las Vegas City Hall,

00:08:34.560 gets a certificate of recognition from Dina Titus, from Catherine Cortez Masto, from former

00:08:42.920 Governor Sisolak, that then the Smithsonian says, we want one of your uniforms, your Ukrainian 1.00

00:08:48.780 military uniforms, for the Smithsonian.

00:08:50.840 And then, the next day, the very next day, we hear this second recording.

00:08:57.380 I don't know if we have it, but it was, like, completely changed in tone.

00:09:02.560 Sarah Ashton Cirillo, Big Mike, was completely different.

00:09:06.160 It was very subdued.

00:09:07.780 You could tell that whoever caught wind of all the negative press...

00:09:12.040 Yes, they started to see real chatter and...

00:09:14.420 From conservatives, and meanwhile, conservatives are arguing about this $24 billion in Congress

00:09:19.960 that Joe Biden is requesting.

00:09:22.200 Congress now has this 9.30 deadline.

00:09:24.500 Zelensky's planning to come over to win support. 0.86

00:09:26.880 Meanwhile, you got this crazy tranny talking about foaming at the mouth and gnashing the 1.00

00:09:30.380 teeth, all this stuff. 1.00

00:09:31.080 We're going to hunt down the Russian devils? 1.00

00:09:32.760 Yeah, and by the way, it was a point you didn't make. 0.85

00:09:35.460 It was in English, on purpose.

00:09:38.560 The audience for this was Westerners.

00:09:41.100 The audience for this was Americans.

00:09:41.960 We were the first one to make that point, by the way.

00:09:43.740 I will suggest, like, so, first of all, this Cirillo character doesn't know Ukrainian

00:09:50.880 or even Russian, I believe.

00:09:52.840 Yeah, he doesn't.

00:09:53.240 And so, he basically is communicating through Google Translate.

00:09:57.080 Relative to a lot of countries, Ukraine has a lot of people who don't know English.

00:09:59.900 I mean, that wasn't taught there in the 70s or 80s, for sure.

00:10:03.500 It'd only be, like, the youngest people who know it.

00:10:05.640 So, I would entertain the possibility that, between this guy, you know, being a little nutty,

00:10:10.760 you know, superficial evidence that that might be the case.

00:10:13.220 Just a few clues.

00:10:14.220 And not knowing the language of the country that he's fighting for, that you will, and

00:10:18.920 them not all knowing English.

00:10:20.460 I think it actually is possible.

00:10:21.840 This is basically this one nutball who's essentially being allowed to, like, be this loose cannon.

00:10:25.820 Well, that's even more concerning. 0.78

00:10:27.460 That the Ukrainian war effort, you could just have some random tranny going off. 1.00

00:10:31.360 Yeah.

00:10:31.600 Right.

00:10:32.380 Yeah.

00:10:32.600 And, I mean, maybe it's a failure to understand domestic politics and understand how charged

00:10:37.120 the trans issue is, especially with conservative America and, really, independents and swing

00:10:42.420 voters.

00:10:42.740 It's wildly unpopular, actually.

00:10:45.460 But outside of the radical, loud minority on the Democrat side.

00:10:49.980 But here's what I'll say.

00:10:51.780 So, then you get this message that's completely scaled down.

00:10:55.180 Then you have Zelensky coming to D.C., right?

00:10:57.780 And, like, a day or two, instantly fired.

00:11:01.020 But here's the other thing that happened.

00:11:02.560 J.D. Vance saw all the coverage that we were blowing up on social media, wrote a letter

00:11:06.900 asking for more information.

00:11:09.880 And here's a final piece of evidence.

00:11:12.380 In the follow-up video where Sarah Ashton Cirillo was toned down, Sarah Ashton Cirillo 0.96

00:11:18.740 said that he was answerable to three people.

00:11:23.980 It was like Ukraine. 0.86

00:11:25.440 I don't remember the second.

00:11:26.600 God.

00:11:26.940 And liberty.

00:11:27.480 No.

00:11:27.800 And the American taxpayer.

00:11:30.060 Yes, that's right.

00:11:30.940 So, Charlie's whole point was, who's paying for this? 0.98

00:11:33.460 Why are we paying for this crazy psychopath to come threaten Westerners that if we don't 0.95

00:11:38.960 toe the line, we're going to be on some hit list like Jack? 0.97

00:11:41.880 And then, sure enough, sure enough, oh, see, somebody's phone's vibrating and Charlie's

00:11:46.140 phone is jingling.

00:11:47.860 No, it's totally my phone.

00:11:48.760 Yeah.

00:11:49.220 None of us is without sin.

00:11:50.780 Right.

00:11:51.440 Cast the first stone.

00:11:52.420 So, all of this played together and then, boom.

00:11:57.220 Big Mike gets sidelined.

00:11:58.740 Big Mike.

00:11:59.360 And here we are.

00:12:01.020 But, I mean, it just, it's, I have to say, the power of this audience is incredible.

00:12:06.200 We had the New Hampshire 14th Amendment deal where the New Hampshire Republicans backed

00:12:10.640 away.

00:12:11.220 We had the Ken Paxton deal where we blew up the phone lines of the Republican senators and

00:12:17.320 apparently made their life miserable.

00:12:18.840 I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing, but I'm saying we had a massive impact, got

00:12:22.180 written up in a bunch of places.

00:12:23.400 And then Sarah Ashton Cirillo gets canned by the Ukrainian military.

00:12:26.300 These are, like, global, national import type of subjects.

00:12:31.620 And the power of this audience, hat tip to you guys.

00:12:34.720 Yeah.

00:12:34.980 So then, so, Jack, let's build this out even more.

00:12:37.300 So, the tide is turning.

00:12:40.740 And it's remarkable how relentless this program has been.

00:12:45.620 I got to brag on Steve Bannon's War Room, the Charlie Kirk show, Jack Posobiec, also turning

00:12:51.260 point action.

00:12:52.520 Jack, I really believe one of the turning points was a signal boost, where all of a sudden people,

00:12:57.840 what we call emergent behavior, right, Jack, when you and I, when all of a sudden people

00:13:02.240 realize that it's okay to believe a certain thing.

00:13:04.680 When that poll came out, post-turning point action conference, you know, we had polls on

00:13:08.600 Vivek and we had polls on Trump.

00:13:10.520 But, Jack, what was the number?

00:13:12.380 This went far and wide.

00:13:13.700 This was, this, I guarantee you, somebody printed this out and put it on Zelensky's

00:13:18.120 desk.

00:13:18.460 I guarantee it.

00:13:19.640 What was that, Jack?

00:13:20.580 Happened over the summer.

00:13:22.040 So, off the top of my head, I remember, in general, there was a, Trump wins the presidential

00:13:27.380 straw poll.

00:13:28.500 And it was something like 87%.

00:13:30.020 And then there was another question about continued support to Ukraine or continued involvement

00:13:35.540 in Ukraine.

00:13:36.480 And that actually came in at 92%.

00:13:40.040 95.

00:13:41.400 So, 95.

00:13:42.100 So, the one thing that pulled higher than Donald Trump at a turning point grassroots event was

00:13:49.520 ending support for Ukraine.

00:13:51.720 That actually pulled ahead of Donald Trump.

00:13:55.420 And this was, you know, back when, you know, this was back when we had decided to bring in

00:14:01.540 everyone and turning point, as they always do, bring in everyone from all over the country,

00:14:05.560 state after state after state, coming to, I don't know if you guys, I'm sure you do have

00:14:09.980 the breakdown of, you know, regions, et cetera.

00:14:12.140 But the point being is, this is a national conference of some of the most active, some

00:14:17.200 of the most really, really outspoken Twitter and social media personalities in general.

00:14:23.280 And one of the reasons is, Charlie, these guys, look, when you're in the influencer game,

00:14:28.020 right?

00:14:28.260 As so many people in turning point, there's so many turning point influencers.

00:14:30.740 They know what is popular and what is unpopular.

00:14:34.500 And people always get this wrong because they'll say, oh, well, you know, these do this to rush

00:14:38.740 them while they call them ditto heads because you just agree and amplify whatever Rush says.

00:14:42.540 No, no.

00:14:43.780 Rush was constantly listening to phone calls.

00:14:46.480 He was constantly listening to the pulse of the people that work in this country and

00:14:50.600 understand what's going on.

00:14:52.160 And then when people are emailing to Charlie, when people are emailing to me, when we're looking

00:14:56.900 at comments, we're constantly seeing the mood.

00:15:00.320 And then so these people that are at the turning point conference, they're directly responding

00:15:05.100 to the received signal, the A-B testing that they're doing on a regular basis.

00:15:09.500 They're responding to that.

00:15:11.120 They're pushing forward because they can see the direction that people are going in.

00:15:15.480 This is why now all of a sudden and then the next step, by the way, after we really exposed

00:15:20.720 this person, this creature, Senator J.D. Vance, and we have to give J.D.

00:15:24.300 Senator J.D. Vance credit because he wrote a letter asking the Pentagon whether or not

00:15:29.880 that person was receiving funding from the U.S.

00:15:32.380 government to make these statements.

00:15:34.980 So we are seeing now all of a sudden Zelensky didn't really have the hero's welcome in D.C.

00:15:41.000 This is happening as we're doing this program.

00:15:43.180 There were real questions that were being asked.

00:15:44.980 Axios covers that, you know, Zelensky looked more stressed.

00:15:49.440 He didn't have this kind of two minute like standing ovation.

00:15:52.460 Blake, you know, this might just be surface level politics, but it seems like this is

00:15:57.300 a far more fragile funding arrangement than it was nine months ago.

00:16:01.280 It definitely is.

00:16:02.540 And one of the I mentioned this earlier, it's very dark that one of the biggest reasons

00:16:07.180 is like the West is turning on Ukraine for something that's like the Western elites fault.

00:16:12.920 Like what's the big disaster?

00:16:14.340 Yeah, that's a fair point.

00:16:15.320 It's somewhat us, but it's also yeah, like we America did this to some extent.

00:16:19.300 We were against it from the beginning, you know, we were funding this war. 0.87

00:16:22.080 We were giving them all these weapons.

00:16:23.820 And what there's all this political pressure to do is like you have to use these weapons

00:16:27.380 to win this big victory to show that you're winning the war.

00:16:30.080 And so Ukraine had been doing, you know, given the odds against them, have been doing pretty

00:16:35.100 well against Russia.

00:16:36.140 Russia had made no progress in the last year, basically.

00:16:40.620 They'd been driven away from Kharkov, a major city in eastern Ukraine.

00:16:44.700 And then but there was all this hype, like the Ukraine spring offensive.

00:16:47.320 It's going to be the biggest deal.

00:16:48.380 It was all propaganda.

00:16:48.920 It was the biggest open secret in the world that this was coming.

00:16:52.100 And they launched this big attack and it's a total disaster.

00:16:54.760 And we don't know the exact figures because they're all very secretive about it.

00:16:57.900 But it seems very possible that tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in this or, you know,

00:17:02.860 300,000 if you're Douglas McGregor.

00:17:04.320 But like a lot of people died and it made no progress at all.

00:17:08.140 Just add a zero.

00:17:09.180 And yeah, just add a zero, two zeros, three zeros maybe.

00:17:13.320 And, you know, so it was this big disaster.

00:17:15.180 And now everyone's like, can Ukraine win this war?

00:17:17.400 It seems like, you know, it seems like Ukraine's not committed enough.

00:17:19.680 Like they've only had tens of thousands of people die.

00:17:22.000 They're not as committed as us in Washington.

00:17:23.760 Well, and I got to be honest, I think that there might be finally, finally some, Andrew,

00:17:28.880 I want your opinion, narrative penetration with the open border.

00:17:32.540 I think that anyone with a decent conscience that is getting flooded by their constituents, Andrew,

00:17:38.460 we're the ones that are leading the charge here.

00:17:40.380 And I think it might be chipping away, right?

00:17:42.640 I mean, the turtle doesn't care, right? 0.57

00:17:44.260 Lady Graham, he gets sexual pleasure from like seeing people get invaded or something.

00:17:49.220 He gets off on this stuff. 0.97

00:17:50.200 My number one priority is not freezing on camera and then bombing the hell out of Russia. 0.99

00:17:55.820 We will bomb him, displace him. 0.97

00:17:58.060 What country will he not invade? 0.96

00:17:59.140 But no, but in all seriousness, I was just watching the news.

00:18:03.660 And I'm trying to be as objective.

00:18:04.780 And I answered the day super cynical, right?

00:18:06.620 That we were going to get the pom-pom squad of Republicans.

00:18:09.360 Even the ones that are on board were less gusto than nine months ago.

00:18:13.540 Yeah, I would say, okay, so we went pretty hard on John Cornyn today.

00:18:19.360 John Cornyn is Chamber of Commerce Republican from the state of Texas.

00:18:24.580 It's getting invaded currently.

00:18:26.400 And what is he doing?

00:18:27.440 He's in the hill.com being quoted as saying, well, no, if the House passes a CR without any Ukraine funding, well, it's going to get to the Senate.

00:18:36.300 We're just going to add it back in and we'll send it back to them.

00:18:38.480 Or we might do it ourselves and send it to them.

00:18:40.580 It's a different sort of process, whatever.

00:18:42.060 All this parliamentarian gimmicks and tricks that they have in the Senate.

00:18:45.580 And then what happens?

00:18:49.180 You've got Rand Paul, who stands up in the Senate.

00:18:52.320 I mean, we counted the Senate. 0.93

00:18:54.320 The U.S. Senate is full of just god-awful Republicans. 1.00

00:18:57.720 Useless Republicans. 1.00

00:18:58.800 That's an interesting thought crime. 0.99

00:19:00.160 Why is the Senate worse than the House?

00:19:01.300 It's separate at times, though.

00:19:02.980 It's a big deal.

00:19:03.980 But Rand Paul stepped up.

00:19:05.300 First, actually, Ron Paul blocked some minibus.

00:19:09.340 Not Ron Paul, sorry.

00:19:11.220 Ron Johnson.

00:19:12.200 Ron Johnson blocked the minibus.

00:19:14.140 He's been doing really good.

00:19:14.940 Yeah, and then Rand Paul said, I'm straight up not funding it.

00:19:17.840 And then what did we have today?

00:19:18.840 We had six senators. 0.65

00:19:19.940 We had Mike Braun, Marshall from Mississippi, right?

00:19:23.580 Roger Marshall's Kansas.

00:19:25.140 Oh, Kansas.

00:19:25.620 That's right.

00:19:26.180 Dr. Roger Marshall.

00:19:27.400 And then we had Tuberville from Alabama.

00:19:30.440 And by the way, he's going to be on the Charlie Kirk show next week.

00:19:34.900 So we'll have Senator Tuberville there.

00:19:36.720 And then we've got Mike Braun, who, by the way, is the biggest, most improved player.

00:19:42.340 He's doing this because he's running for governor.

00:19:43.560 Good.

00:19:43.800 Like, that's an example of politics working for the betterment.

00:19:47.020 For those of you at home who don't know what I'm talking about, Mike Braun came.

00:19:49.640 He was awful in summer 20.

00:19:51.320 He went full on CRT, BLM. 0.80

00:19:53.420 But only for a moment.

00:19:54.380 And then Tucker decided to say, and now I shall correct you.

00:19:57.800 Exactly.

00:19:58.940 So, and then we had, let me just add the list here.

00:20:01.640 Mike Lee.

00:20:02.780 He's great.

00:20:03.500 Yeah, he's great.

00:20:04.060 Mike Lee's one of my favorite people.

00:20:05.220 He's a great guy.

00:20:06.080 Missing in action, Senator Ted Cruz.

00:20:09.220 He has neocon tendencies.

00:20:10.920 He does.

00:20:11.380 He just does.

00:20:12.060 I'm just going to be honest.

00:20:12.660 Yeah, I mean, he does.

00:20:13.620 And then J.D. Vance, obviously, we said.

00:20:16.020 And then Josh Hawley didn't sign that list.

00:20:17.740 No, he did.

00:20:18.280 He was on the list.

00:20:19.000 Was he on the list?

00:20:19.580 Yeah.

00:20:19.880 All right.

00:20:20.240 So, okay.

00:20:21.180 So that's really interesting.

00:20:22.440 I think, Jack, you tweeted about this today, I believe.

00:20:26.520 You said there's been a total energy shift.

00:20:28.920 And I couldn't agree more.

00:20:30.120 It was like three days ago, I would have said.

00:20:31.980 It's like a series of energy shifts.

00:20:32.980 Yes.

00:20:33.400 We are dead on arrival.

00:20:35.540 This thing is getting, Ukraine's getting funded.

00:20:38.000 The border's getting, we're all going to cuck out.

00:20:40.320 And it's just going to be business as usual, just like it was with the death ceiling.

00:20:43.220 I'm not saying it's not going to happen.

00:20:44.520 I'm saying there is a fighting chance.

00:20:46.480 There is a resistance.

00:20:47.200 Now that the Senate is on board, to actually fight this thing back.

00:20:51.640 I really think we've got a chance to, and I think, Charlie, it's going to take us shutting

00:20:55.900 down this government.

00:20:56.920 Shut this mother down. 1.00

00:20:58.160 But let's, Blake, let's close on this.

00:21:00.160 And this is a question.

00:21:00.980 Let's pretend that we were, you know, pro-Ukraine neocons that really didn't care much about

00:21:04.360 America.

00:21:05.240 But to look honest, how could they actually increase their support?

00:21:09.760 They are a, they're fighting gravity, is what I'm getting, is that they're a diminishing

00:21:13.900 asset at this point, right?

00:21:15.500 They peaked.

00:21:16.220 Like, let's pretend we were all pro-Ukraine, and we were, how do you even rebuild consensus

00:21:21.100 support?

00:21:21.840 You could fake hate crimes by Russia or something.

00:21:24.100 I mean, stuff like that, maybe.

00:21:25.640 When, you know, when Zelensky starts having all of his refugees do the terrorist attacks, 0.99

00:21:29.360 you're like, it's Russia.

00:21:30.180 No, that's what, talk about this.

00:21:31.260 This is a real thing.

00:21:32.120 This is a real thing.

00:21:32.700 Zelensky's extorting Europe. 0.95

00:21:34.100 You're like, it'd be a shame if the Louvre blew up.

00:21:35.820 This is, this is honestly like way more shocking to me.

00:21:38.540 Nice Eiffel Tower you got there, Macron.

00:21:39.900 This is actually way more shocking to me than the tranny thing, because this tranny, maybe he's 1.00

00:21:43.160 just this weirdo who's like mentally unstable. 0.97

00:21:44.940 The tranny thing's crazy to me. 1.00

00:21:45.720 But it's crazy.

00:21:46.600 But this is, Zelensky himself gives an interview.

00:21:48.640 Okay, fair enough.

00:21:49.240 To The Economist, and he's just like, yeah, you know, a million Ukrainians.

00:21:52.980 Nice Michelangelo statue.

00:21:54.400 Yeah, a million Ukrainians have fled to Western Europe, and like, they're very grateful for 1.00

00:21:58.020 how Ukraine has hosted them.

00:21:59.120 But, you know, if Europe stopped supporting Ukraine, I just, I don't know how these Ukrainians 1.00

00:22:04.560 would respond to the disappointment and sadness they would feel about, about being abandoned.

00:22:08.700 They could do, they could do anything.

00:22:11.620 And do you know what that reminds me of?

00:22:13.800 Do you know what that reminds me of?

00:22:14.760 It's like right in 2020, when it turns out like two days later, it's apparently that Joe

00:22:19.620 Biden wins the election.

00:22:20.660 And all the civil rights, quote unquote, that's a very big air quote, by the way, civil rights

00:22:25.840 groups didn't riot, because they didn't call, they didn't, you know, it's like, it's like

00:22:29.320 these powers on the left that have these stormtroopers that can just be dispatched. 0.78

00:22:33.380 We were supposed to compliment them for not blowing up our society.

00:22:37.700 Exactly.

00:22:38.820 But aren't you glad?

00:22:40.320 It's a shocking thing.

00:22:41.000 But for the gravity thing, it is just like, they would benefit so much if they could just

00:22:46.580 watch like an 80s action movie and be like, okay, we need to channel the like, the like

00:22:50.820 tough military guy, get like the straightest guy possible.

00:22:54.660 Have him be the Ukrainian spokesman.

00:22:56.580 He has like a, have him like have this like orthodox icon in the corner.

00:22:59.820 He'll like talk about like God and Jesus a lot and just say like Vladimir Putin is a

00:23:03.500 god of Satanist.

00:23:04.460 Central cast it.

00:23:05.240 Yeah.

00:23:05.600 Central cast it.

00:23:06.320 By the way, you, I was just going to say, you'd think that he, if he knows that there's

00:23:10.960 Republican opposition, we said this on, on human events, that if he knew there was Republican

00:23:14.820 opposition, why, why not just come out and say something like 20% of the funding will go

00:23:19.100 towards child trafficking operations?

00:23:21.560 Like just say something to try to get conservatives on your side.

00:23:25.500 If you know, that's where the opposition is. 0.63

00:23:27.060 You could be even more unhinged.

00:23:27.980 You could be like the Russian military is like, they're recruiting all of these like 0.99

00:23:31.540 Muslims from the Caucasus and they're like here to like destroy Christians, like the 1.00

00:23:35.660 oldest Christian place in Eastern Europe, you know, that's not even completely, you know, 0.97

00:23:40.720 it's like, it'd be something, it'd be way better than like, we need to do this because

00:23:45.060 then like the, the pink and baby blue flag will fly over Kiev till the end of time.

00:23:49.760 And that's what Putin wants to rip down.

00:23:51.900 Like that's basically doing Putin's own propaganda efforts for him. 1.00

00:23:56.260 It's doubling down on stupid. 1.00

00:23:57.820 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:57.960 The current argument is like Western values are trans values. 0.84

00:24:01.280 And we're kind of like, yeah, we don't want to fund that.

00:24:03.720 Sorry.

00:24:04.240 The flag, the flag of the regime is the pride flag. 0.78

00:24:07.780 All right.

00:24:08.140 So now let's, let's get to some serious thought crimes and it's a perfect segue.

00:24:11.760 Remember the man, the dude, the trans dude, Mike, big Mike, right? 0.96

00:24:18.580 Said that the Russian devils will pay a price. 0.99

00:24:22.040 In fact, said that one week ago.

00:24:26.620 And then all of a sudden the hit against Russell Brand happens.

00:24:30.360 Jack, do I have to talk about noble gold first?

00:24:33.740 Yeah.

00:24:34.040 I want to tell you about noble gold investments.

00:24:35.780 Noble gold investments is a terrific way.

00:24:38.440 That's just your little tease. 1.00

00:24:40.000 Did Zelensky plant the black propaganda against Russell Brand?

00:24:44.800 Did the Western intel agencies do this?

00:24:47.780 Russell Brand was speaking out against the Ukrainian war.

00:24:50.340 They say that they're going to take out a Putin puppet.

00:24:53.120 And then boom, the allegations on Russell Brand, which is a good segue there.

00:24:56.820 Jack, did Zelensky try to take Russell Brand out?

00:24:59.620 Well, Charlie, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that the Ukrainians have tried to 1.00

00:25:05.540 take out someone in the West that they viewed as negative to them.

00:25:09.720 And I'm referring, of course, to the time that a foreign government interfered in the

00:25:14.420 United States in our election, planted fake propaganda, laundered that fake propaganda

00:25:20.300 through mainstream media and had the campaign manager of a major camp, political campaign

00:25:26.020 in the United States, fired.

00:25:27.440 That guy's name was Paul Manafort.

00:25:30.300 And this fake dossier, which was spread even before the infamous steel dossier, the PP dossier

00:25:37.000 that Jake Tapper loves so much and thinks about every single night while he's lying in bed,

00:25:41.640 that the Black Ledger was a false document created by that very same organization of which

00:25:47.780 I just spoke, the SBU in Ukraine.

00:25:50.340 It was then laundered through Ukrainian politicians and used to claim that Paul Manafort was on

00:25:55.420 some kind of Russian payroll.

00:25:57.380 Due to this scandal, Paul Manafort was actually, he actually had to step down as the head of

00:26:02.520 the Trump campaign in the middle of the election.

00:26:05.860 So, Charlie, no, this wouldn't be the first time that the Ukrainians have done something

00:26:09.160 like this, if so.

00:26:10.780 So, now it's a good time.

00:26:12.900 Blake, give us the facts.

00:26:14.040 What is Russell Brand being accused of?

00:26:15.660 So, one of the things that's interesting is, so it's all from the UK, which Russell Brand's

00:26:21.320 British, that would make sense.

00:26:22.380 And it's three different publications.

00:26:24.160 The Times UK, I can't remember the others.

00:26:26.140 I think one might be the Express.

00:26:28.520 And they come out with this set of allegations against him over the weekend, I believe.

00:26:33.700 And it's essentially, we got all of these women who say that Russell Brand was abusive. 0.61

00:26:40.380 One was a teenage girl who says that she was groomed for sex by...

00:26:46.800 Wait, the age is important.

00:26:47.660 No, I'll get to that.

00:26:48.540 I'll get to that. 0.98

00:26:48.860 She says she was groomed for sex by Russell Brand. 0.76

00:26:50.520 She was 16.

00:26:51.480 That is legal in the UK.

00:26:53.220 Oh, it is?

00:26:53.760 It was perfectly legal.

00:26:54.920 But she says, like, you know, it was still an age gap.

00:26:56.880 It was exploitative grooming, whatever.

00:26:59.500 Several say that he sexually assaulted them.

00:27:02.560 For full context, Russell Brand has basically always been forthright that he was, like,

00:27:08.060 very promiscuous as a young man, went through a lot of relationships. 0.52

00:27:11.540 I think he said he was a sex addict.

00:27:13.920 Obviously, he's a pretty charismatic guy and not the worst looking guy.

00:27:18.000 So he would probably be able to have as many consensual relationships as he would like as

00:27:22.720 a young man.

00:27:24.120 But they're coming out with all of this.

00:27:25.940 The most recent allegations go up only to a decade ago.

00:27:29.280 And on top of that, two things really have to be highlighted here, which is, one, none

00:27:35.660 of these women came forward on their own. 0.94

00:27:37.780 The publications set out to write something about Russell Brand.

00:27:40.800 So there was an opposition research.

00:27:42.240 It was oppo research.

00:27:43.220 100%.

00:27:43.620 The publications contacted women to get them to attack Russell Brand. 0.98

00:27:47.820 There was no...

00:27:48.680 This did not start because a woman contacted a publication.

00:27:51.600 And then second, multiple of these women, most of whom are still anonymous, by the way,

00:27:56.140 multiple of these women explicitly say they did this because they were upset about the 0.99

00:28:01.180 political turns.

00:28:02.200 His politics.

00:28:02.760 Literally like, and then I saw his Rumble video about Ukraine and I realized what happened

00:28:08.060 ago wasn't...

00:28:09.100 What happened 15 years ago, that wasn't love.

00:28:12.140 That was rape. 1.00

00:28:13.240 And that's literally what this story is.

00:28:16.260 And we have the British government sending letters to TikTok, sending letters to Rumble that

00:28:21.520 you're explicitly asking them, like, are you doing things to keep him from monetizing this?

00:28:25.560 I'm going to be pretty bold here.

00:28:27.340 I'm going to need some really convincing evidence.

00:28:29.740 Like, I'm going to need, like, video evidence of Russell Brand raping somebody because I inherently

00:28:33.500 don't believe this.

00:28:34.600 Like, I just, at surface level, do not believe it.

00:28:37.220 Real talk, that's how it should be in general for this sort of thing.

00:28:39.360 No, I'm just being honest.

00:28:40.280 Like, years ago, I thought Russell Brand was, like, obnoxiously liberal.

00:28:44.140 I think he's been courageous on the COVID stuff, outspoken against the pharmaceutical

00:28:47.500 industrial complex.

00:28:48.800 I think he's hilarious.

00:28:49.620 I think he's interesting, and I said this on the program before, and Andrew, you're kind

00:28:53.560 of like our Hollywood person.

00:28:57.120 Russell Brand, A-list, A-list, like, double A-list, right?

00:28:59.900 This is not just some...

00:29:00.780 Yeah, at a time.

00:29:01.300 Yeah.

00:29:01.640 I mean, he started in Get Him to the Greek with Jonah Hill, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

00:29:05.880 But also, he had his comedy special.

00:29:07.740 Yeah.

00:29:07.980 He was on Death in the Nile recently as a cameo appearance.

00:29:10.500 You just don't get that as some sort of consolation prize.

00:29:13.580 He was big.

00:29:14.700 Yeah, no, he was great.

00:29:15.540 Right, Jack?

00:29:16.020 I mean, that's not just a consolation prize.

00:29:17.900 The point is that...

00:29:18.600 He was really good in that.

00:29:19.200 That's like a serious role.

00:29:20.420 Russell Brand was top-of-the-line, regime-approved, you know, kind of funny.

00:29:28.080 Ah, I know what I'm thinking.

00:29:29.360 I know what I want.

00:29:30.600 Ryan, check out Russell Brand one year ago on Morning Joe.

00:29:33.820 Did you see this?

00:29:34.700 Where Mika was fawning over him?

00:29:36.920 Oh, we got to resurrect that clip.

00:29:39.100 Get that one.

00:29:39.440 Have you seen the old one where he kind of, like, lights them up?

00:29:41.640 Yeah, I think it was more than one year ago.

00:29:43.020 No, no, it was about a year ago.

00:29:44.100 I remember seeing it live.

00:29:44.960 I remember seeing it live when he was...

00:29:47.340 And Mika was, like, all over him. 0.53

00:29:49.860 And so, look, I just want to say, I don't believe any of these allegations against Russell Brand.

00:29:55.860 And Russell is going to learn something.

00:29:58.100 And he's going to learn it the hard way.

00:29:59.400 And I don't want him to learn anything the hard way, which is the liberals are going to abandon him here.

00:30:04.700 And only the right-wingers of the West will come to his defense.

00:30:08.620 Is that fair, Jack?

00:30:10.140 I wish that wasn't the case.

00:30:11.740 We've seen it a million times, though.

00:30:13.660 I will say...

00:30:14.780 Rose McGowan's defending him.

00:30:15.780 In terms of the way that he's...

00:30:17.200 Right, that's true, Rose McGowan.

00:30:18.380 I will say, though, that the way that he's handled this is A+.

00:30:24.480 Just A+, at this point.

00:30:26.260 In terms of, get out before it takes place.

00:30:30.360 And then you actually saw Dave Portnoy, who I'm no fan of, actually copied the same Russell Brand playbook.

00:30:36.640 Masterclass, I gotta be honest.

00:30:38.320 Which is good response.

00:30:39.800 I'm just saying good comms is good comms.

00:30:41.300 And when I see it, I'm going to call it what it is.

00:30:43.780 So him getting out in front of it, doing the video, explaining to everybody what this was all about, explaining where it was coming from.

00:30:51.300 That's what you do.

00:30:52.460 Never hide.

00:30:53.800 Never let your enemy control the narrative.

00:30:56.120 Never let your enemy define you.

00:30:57.640 Never let your enemy be the one in charge of the operation.

00:31:00.860 Because you are in information warfare.

00:31:03.720 This is fourth-generational warfare.

00:31:06.300 In order to do that, what did he do?

00:31:08.280 He took the wind out of their sails.

00:31:09.580 He reframed the argument as, there's a hit piece coming after me.

00:31:13.120 This takes away the element of surprise.

00:31:15.200 Then what happens next?

00:31:16.600 Then we start looking at it skeptically.

00:31:18.720 So we're already primed to look at this skeptically.

00:31:20.720 It doesn't come as a shock.

00:31:21.580 There's no shock value to it whatsoever.

00:31:23.940 What we find is that this is a situation, and I had to tip to Scott Adams for pointing this out.

00:31:30.340 You know, Charlie, we know that journalism and newsrooms have been getting gutted for the last decade across the entire world.

00:31:37.620 You just don't see investigative journalism the way it used to anywhere out there.

00:31:41.780 Yeah, I know, right?

00:31:43.860 Yeah.

00:31:44.220 Yeah, exactly.

00:31:45.000 But you just don't see investigative journalism anymore.

00:31:47.340 It's just, it's not the same level it used to be.

00:31:49.620 It's not the same.

00:31:50.980 The price tag on it is much, much higher.

00:31:52.920 Usually it's just reports of somebody said something on Twitter, and now I'm going to write up what he said,

00:31:57.460 and I'm going to get a bunch of clicks off of that, and that's my job.

00:31:59.620 You hire a bunch of 20-somethings using ChatGPT to do it for you. 0.92

00:32:02.400 But when it comes to Russell Brand or Tucker Carlson or Elon Musk or Donald Trump,

00:32:09.920 suddenly there's a limitless budget to how much investigation you can do,

00:32:13.820 and then you can even go down and knock on the doors of people who aren't complaining.

00:32:18.180 Do you have any idea how expensive and how much time it takes to find people who are not complaining and get them to come forward?

00:32:23.960 Look, let's be honest.

00:32:27.280 Russell Brand would not have been touched ever if he would have just said,

00:32:31.220 get the jab, Zelensky is great, wear the mask, and lock it down.

00:32:36.080 100%.

00:32:36.560 All right, here's morning Mika.

00:32:38.880 I'm sorry, this is from a decade ago.

00:32:40.140 It resurfaced last year.

00:32:41.360 I apologize.

00:32:42.600 So let's play cut 123.

00:32:45.820 Caddy Kay and Brian Shackman are here as well,

00:32:47.880 and he already told Brian that he might want to disrobe.

00:32:50.340 I'm just saying.

00:32:50.960 I just thought maybe I could loosen up a little, show a little more chest here.

00:32:53.620 And he said maybe I should do a little more.

00:32:54.480 No, I only think Russell couldn't do that.

00:32:55.860 You look fantastic.

00:32:57.080 Put them on the table.

00:32:57.820 Kinky boots time.

00:32:59.060 Wow.

00:32:59.740 There are some boots.

00:33:01.080 Those are nice.

00:33:02.120 You also look beautiful.

00:33:03.960 Okay, Russell.

00:33:05.660 It's like your desk is a puzzle.

00:33:07.620 It is.

00:33:08.060 I'm sorry about that.

00:33:08.860 What is the solution?

00:33:10.180 I think we could walk back in.

00:33:12.860 There you go, love.

00:33:13.620 Be careful because that's a low-cut dress. 0.73

00:33:15.980 Oh, sorry.

00:33:16.540 Okay.

00:33:17.540 I'm only flesh and blood.

00:33:18.700 I've got instincts.

00:33:19.540 Oh, okay.

00:33:21.220 Tell me what you need to know.

00:33:23.620 I'm just sort of taking it all in.

00:33:25.680 I kind of like that.

00:33:27.240 Okay, so I'm going to play 124.

00:33:28.700 The point I'm playing for this, number one, the media all knew that he was a little bit

00:33:32.120 of a tomcat.

00:33:33.420 I'm putting it nicely, right?

00:33:34.480 A full confession, that is the longest Russell Brand clip I have ever seen.

00:33:37.840 Oh, is that right?

00:33:38.380 I've never seen a single Russell Brand movie, stand-up TV show episode.

00:33:42.000 I think he's legitimately a plus talent.

00:33:44.160 The guy's got a gift.

00:33:45.340 Here's Morning Mika.

00:33:46.320 His interviews are.

00:33:47.220 Yeah, no, here's Morning Mika fantasizing she could be with Russell Brand with a water

00:33:51.420 bottle.

00:33:51.780 Play cut 124.

00:33:52.640 You've become nervous.

00:33:54.960 I am.

00:33:55.400 Why are you nervous?

00:33:56.140 Really?

00:33:56.540 No, I'm...

00:33:56.880 You're a powerful woman.

00:33:58.120 You've got a lovely job.

00:33:59.160 What seems to be the trouble?

00:34:00.460 I don't know.

00:34:01.360 You've got a hair like Princess Diana.

00:34:03.100 Oh, wow.

00:34:04.060 Okay.

00:34:04.680 You're ovulating.

00:34:05.780 Don't be nervous.

00:34:06.720 Starts in August.

00:34:07.420 Don't think about what I'm wearing.

00:34:09.120 What seems to be the trouble, love?

00:34:10.580 No, I'm good.

00:34:11.280 I'm...

00:34:11.800 What do you think that gesture means, the way you're touching that bottle?

00:34:14.680 What does that indicate?

00:34:16.220 What is that?

00:34:16.880 What's the subtext of that?

00:34:18.080 Oh, my God.

00:34:19.140 More Morning Joe in just a moment.

00:34:21.620 Yeah, I don't think there's ever going to be a case where something's, like, not consensual

00:34:26.780 with that guy.

00:34:28.320 That's what I'm trying to get.

00:34:29.440 The guy is, like, the... 0.94

00:34:30.920 I mean, look, I say this in the least gay possible way.

00:34:33.700 He's, like, super charming.

00:34:35.120 Yeah.

00:34:35.380 Right?

00:34:35.800 He's just, like, the biggest Chad in the universe.

00:34:37.600 Yeah, I mean, he's just, like, total alpha.

00:34:39.560 He's got the British accent.

00:34:40.840 Well, that's thought crime.

00:34:41.980 What?

00:34:42.460 That straight men can appreciate other men as being good looking?

00:34:46.940 No, no, no.

00:34:47.480 I'm not making the Hellenistic argument here, Charlie.

00:34:50.600 Oh, okay.

00:34:51.120 What I'm saying is, is the real thought crime is that what determines whether or not those

00:34:57.920 statements are harassment?

00:34:59.700 It is not the statements themselves.

00:35:01.800 It is not the person who is making them.

00:35:03.520 It is the person listening to them.

00:35:05.100 Yeah, that's right.

00:35:05.540 Can determine whether or not, in this case, Mika Brzezinski, because when I was a Navy officer,

00:35:10.340 do you have any idea how many times we had to sit through the annual and then quarterly

00:35:14.120 trainings on what you're allowed to say on the ship, what you're not allowed to say on

00:35:18.020 the ship, et cetera, et cetera?

00:35:19.180 Red light behavior, yellow behavior, green behavior, all this other stuff.

00:35:23.500 But it's like he's up there and he's breaking all the rules and she's just laughing and going

00:35:27.300 along with it.

00:35:27.940 And it's totally fine because she's determined it's okay.

00:35:30.900 But if this were Donald Trump saying all those things, and of course, and I just use him

00:35:35.800 as a stand.

00:35:36.120 I'm not trying to do the cliche thing.

00:35:37.220 But if that were someone she didn't like, who was saying the exact same things in the exact

00:35:42.180 same manner, if that show is done in New York, she could file charges against him.

00:35:47.960 Absolutely.

00:35:48.560 Or as it turns out in this one, where, you know, a decade later, he says something about

00:35:52.140 the vaccine and you realize that it was sexual harassment at the time.

00:35:55.460 Exactly.

00:35:56.040 Yeah, exactly.

00:35:56.560 That's right.

00:35:57.580 So, I mean, look, they're going to try to take him out.

00:36:00.520 He's handling it really well.

00:36:03.040 And just add this to the list.

00:36:05.140 Elon Musk under criminal investigation for some sort of corporate perk thing.

00:36:09.980 The guy's worth $260 billion, okay?

00:36:12.520 If there was a problem, why wouldn't the IRS contact him?

00:36:14.900 Department of Justice for corporate perk paperwork?

00:36:17.260 And it's worse than that.

00:36:17.960 It was like Tesla's like buying him a glass house because, you know, if he lives in a glass

00:36:22.200 house, he can't throw stones at the government.

00:36:24.380 And, you know, it's like, oh, how could they screwed up the compensation package?

00:36:28.800 Meanwhile, Tesla, it goes public 15 years ago or so.

00:36:33.000 Tesla goes public worth $2.5 billion.

00:36:35.320 It is now worth $850 billion.

00:36:37.920 It is topped at over a trillion dollars.

00:36:40.380 I think the median Tesla investor is pretty happy with how Elon Musk has run his company.

00:36:46.720 No, but that gets you a criminal investigation by the Southern District of New York, according

00:36:51.040 to the Wall Street Journal.

00:36:51.680 And you're also getting sued at SpaceX because they didn't hire enough refugees for, you know,

00:36:56.820 their super sensitive space rocketry program where you're not allowed to employ non-U.S. 0.77

00:37:02.360 persons for it.

00:37:03.440 And they interpreted that as we can't employ refugees.

00:37:06.000 And so the DOJ just swoops in, sues them, wants them to take all of their money that they're

00:37:10.060 using to develop the super special rockets that we use to shoot things to the moon.

00:37:13.040 And they're like, no, you have to pay, you know, $5 million in back salary to every refugee 0.61

00:37:17.580 who applied to work at SpaceX.

00:37:19.360 It wasn't hired.

00:37:20.780 So, go ahead.

00:37:22.240 And just like, and again, like the hit job, you know, I want to read, if I can, this letter.

00:37:28.060 Just give me a moment to bring it up.

00:37:29.900 But, actually, maybe you should talk.

00:37:33.560 But, I mean, let's just be honest, okay?

00:37:35.780 This is a total thought crime.

00:37:37.620 The way that morning Joe, the way that most women think this, they wish they could get 1.00

00:37:41.920 in a sexual relationship with Russell Brand, okay? 1.00

00:37:44.360 Like, these people are liars. 1.00

00:37:46.220 Women fawn over this guy. 1.00

00:37:47.780 Look at Mika.

00:37:48.640 She was, like, melting.

00:37:50.040 I mean, so, like, give me a break.

00:37:51.100 You're trying to tell me Russell Brand has to get down to the level of rape? 0.96

00:37:54.560 You're lying. 0.74

00:37:55.560 You are lying, okay? 1.00

00:37:57.100 You are a liar when you are coming to Russell Brand. 0.99

00:37:59.740 Yes, that might be a thought crime. 0.99

00:38:01.420 I don't care.

00:38:02.800 Harvey Weinstein, totally see that. 1.00

00:38:04.800 Guy's a slob. 0.99

00:38:05.720 He's, like, overweight. 1.00

00:38:07.380 He's awful. 0.99

00:38:08.520 I totally see the rape using power authority. 1.00

00:38:12.080 You're trying to tell me that Russell Brand needs to, like, resort to, like, strong patriarchy tactics?

00:38:18.400 Yeah.

00:38:18.660 The guy walks in the room and the women are taken off their clothes. 1.00

00:38:21.180 This is what's different about this situation, I think, than the purely American context, too,

00:38:28.300 by the way, of Me Too.

00:38:29.200 Now, we can all agree that Me Too got completely unhinged and deranged.

00:38:32.540 You know, it really did.

00:38:35.100 It just flew off the rails.

00:38:36.020 All women, believe all women, whatever.

00:38:38.020 All right.

00:38:38.320 But what's interesting here is that now you have the UK is sending out letters to Rumble and to YouTube.

00:38:49.240 That's what's crazy.

00:38:50.100 Monetize them without even being convicted of a crime.

00:38:52.720 No, it's even worse than that.

00:38:53.180 The Associated Press today is writing a whole story on Rumble because of the Russell Brand thing.

00:38:56.640 Yes.

00:38:56.820 So all the power sources are coming after Rumble.

00:38:59.120 Yep, exactly.

00:38:59.380 This is really about Rumble.

00:39:00.100 This is actually becoming about Rumble.

00:39:01.840 This is the letter yesterday that the chair of Culture, Media, and Sport Committee of the British Parliament sends to Rumble.

00:39:10.820 So communistic.

00:39:11.940 Where it says, let's see.

00:39:13.800 We are also looking at Mr. Brand's use of social media, including on Rumble, where he issued his preemptive response to the accusations made against him by the Sunday Times and Channel 4's dispatches.

00:39:24.340 Which Channel 4, I believe, is like a British government-funded news outlet, by the way.

00:39:28.280 Yes, that's right.

00:39:28.700 While we recognize that Rumble is not the creator of the content published by Mr. Brand, we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform.

00:39:39.820 This is a person who has not been convicted of any crime.

00:39:42.900 I don't even know if he's been charged with any crime yet.

00:39:45.740 And they're just like, oh, well, he got these accusations, so we need to delete him from the ability to make money.

00:39:51.780 And then we're claiming that, you know, Vladimir Putin and the Chinese are threats to free expression. 1.00

00:39:56.400 And meanwhile, we just have the British government going around and, like, vaporizing anyone that they feel like.

00:40:00.580 But put this in the European context.

00:40:03.180 We just had this incident.

00:40:05.320 We haven't really talked much about it.

00:40:06.620 But in Spain, where the Spanish National Women's Cup team wins, and the president of the Spanish Professional Women's Soccer League or whatever, in a moment of exuberance, like, if you play the clip back, maybe, Ryan, you can get it.

00:40:25.040 It happened so fast.

00:40:27.160 It was like a moment of exuberance.

00:40:28.900 What?

00:40:29.120 It was a peck.

00:40:30.080 A peck.

00:40:30.860 And if you've...

00:40:31.480 I lived in Spain for a year.

00:40:33.220 Condolences.

00:40:33.700 I'm telling you, those people peck all the time.

00:40:36.400 They kiss all the time.

00:40:37.220 By the way, they just won.

00:40:38.720 They had just won for the first time in their nation's history.

00:40:41.620 This is hilarious.

00:40:42.620 Europe is, like, way more sexually liberated, liberal than America.

00:40:47.640 And now they're not, apparently.

00:40:48.780 Well, America's... 0.53

00:40:49.380 They all have affairs.

00:40:50.600 They walk around without clothes.

00:40:52.660 The truth is, like, America's most toxic ideas go the most viral.

00:40:55.860 You guys are talking over each other.

00:40:57.100 Okay.

00:40:57.520 Yeah, what were you saying, Jack?

00:40:58.200 No, no, I just, this, just tying it back to what I said before, is it's, it is, it is

00:41:04.780 perfectly acceptable until the female decides it is not acceptable. 0.96

00:41:09.460 So she might do that, that same type of thing, or that guy may have done that 10 times before, 0.98

00:41:14.920 but the 11th time when she decides that time is unacceptable, even though all the other

00:41:19.860 times were fine, then it becomes a scandal because she made the decision because that's 1.00

00:41:24.960 the way that our laws are written, that's the way that our statutes are written on this,

00:41:28.540 that's the way our policies are written on this.

00:41:30.020 It is completely female-centric, where women have all the control, and it is completely 1.00

00:41:34.560 subjective for men.

00:41:35.860 Yet they can't tell you what a woman actually is. 1.00

00:41:37.900 Let's play cut 117.

00:41:39.840 There you go.

00:41:40.260 Just change your identification.

00:41:41.160 I've brought some facts.

00:41:42.640 The pandemic created at least 40 new big pharma billionaires.

00:41:45.740 Pharmaceutical corporations like Moderna and Pfizer made $1,000 of profit every second

00:41:49.360 from the COVID-19 vaccine.

00:41:50.880 More than two-thirds of Congress received campaign funding from pharmaceutical companies

00:41:55.060 in the 2020 election.

00:41:57.160 Pfizer chairman Albert Baller told Time magazine in July 2020 that his company was developing

00:42:01.240 a COVID vaccine for the good of humanity, not for money.

00:42:04.440 And of course, Pfizer made $100 billion in profit in 2022.

00:42:08.860 And may I just mention that finally, and this is also a fact, that you, the American public,

00:42:14.480 funded the development of that.

00:42:15.780 The German public funded the BioNTech vaccine.

00:42:18.420 When it came to the profits, they took the profits.

00:42:21.100 When it came to the funding, you paid for the funding.

00:42:23.980 It's if you have an economic system in which pharmaceutical companies benefit hugely from

00:42:29.480 medical emergencies, where a military-industrial complex benefits from war, where energy companies

00:42:35.040 benefit from energy crises, you are going to generate states of perpetual crisis, where

00:42:40.760 the interests of ordinary people separate from the interests of the elites.

00:42:45.080 You can see why they're taking him out.

00:42:48.280 He's way too, way too outspoken for the regime.

00:42:51.820 You cannot have an A-lister speaking like that.

00:42:54.160 But here's the thing.

00:42:55.380 I can't get over just how ferocious this has come down on him.

00:42:59.380 If you go through like a TikTok of all the allegations, it's like the specialist sex crime

00:43:04.420 squad in the UK is now helping to investigate the damning allegations against Russell Brand.

00:43:09.460 You've got Russell Brand.

00:43:15.340 Big tech is coming down on him, demonetized.

00:43:18.620 Now they're coming off to Rumble and X.

00:43:20.500 Now they want to talk to X because Elon Musk came out in his defense 38 minutes after the

00:43:26.480 allegations rose.

00:43:28.740 Russell Brand accused of exposing his willy to women, laughing about it on radio show.

00:43:34.220 Katy Perry called him a Rasputin, and now that's come to light from 2013.

00:43:38.320 That's his former wife, like Katy Perry. 0.98

00:43:41.040 Oh, gosh, I have stories about Katy Perry.

00:43:42.500 Like she's some model of...

00:43:43.960 She's a bad person. 0.96

00:43:45.200 She's trying to steal a piece of property from a veteran in dementia in Santa Barbara right 0.78

00:43:49.580 now.

00:43:49.920 Yeah, I know this.

00:43:50.920 I know all about that story.

00:43:52.320 I will tell you, listen, I once upon a time lived in L.A.

00:43:57.560 That's why I said you're our Hollywood guy.

00:43:59.240 I ran into Katy Perry at a party, and without giving details about it, I will just tell

00:44:05.200 you, Charlie Kirk, that lady, whatever Russell Brand did, she was matching him step for step

00:44:11.040 in those days.

00:44:11.680 I will tell you that much.

00:44:12.680 Okay, but counterpoint on that property, California girls, they're undeniable, fine, fresh, fierce.

00:44:19.580 They got it on lock.

00:44:21.580 So it seems like it's just...

00:44:23.060 He's never seen Russell Brand, and he's quoting Katy Perry songs from 2011.

00:44:27.800 Listen, suddenly the only single guy on this show is becoming a little bit more suspicious

00:44:33.740 as the episodes of thought crime, as we plumb the depths of thought crime here and the cerebral

00:44:41.800 criminality. 0.60

00:44:42.880 I just got to be honest.

00:44:43.980 This Russell Brand one is a big deal to me.

00:44:47.080 Not because I'm a big Russell Brand fan, not because I've ever followed him that closely,

00:44:51.740 not because I...

00:44:52.480 But this is somebody who just happened to have a change of opinion. 0.99

00:44:56.520 Again, commit the crime of noticing, we will destroy you. 0.97

00:45:00.720 Yeah. 0.99

00:45:00.960 But look at this, too.

00:45:02.080 He's now...

00:45:02.540 He's married.

00:45:03.480 He's got a kid.

00:45:04.000 He's got a kid and another one on the way.

00:45:06.040 He's got a solid home life for like the first time in his life.

00:45:10.680 He's...

00:45:11.520 Everything in his own personal ecosystem, he always is going well. 1.00

00:45:16.520 He always admitted that he was a disgusting, vile human being. 0.99

00:45:20.360 He bragged about it and they cheered him on. 0.99

00:45:24.320 And now they're rewriting history again.

00:45:26.780 I mean, frankly, it's no different than the liberals tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln.

00:45:32.460 They're like, they're retroactively applying new rules to an old situation that they themselves

00:45:37.800 cheered on.

00:45:38.360 And it's actually infuriating for that.

00:45:39.940 But I mean, we obviously don't condone sexual assaults.

00:45:44.180 He didn't do it.

00:45:44.940 But that's what I'm going to say.

00:45:46.240 These women... 1.00

00:45:47.040 They're lying.

00:45:47.940 I can say that confidently.

00:45:49.680 That they all come out at the same time.

00:45:52.000 And they even say it's because of their politics.

00:45:53.720 Right, Blake?

00:45:54.460 Yeah. 0.99

00:45:54.760 They're liars. 0.98

00:45:55.980 And by the way, I just... 0.99

00:45:57.360 I refuse to believe that Russell Brand, who could have any woman in the world, somehow

00:46:01.600 sexually assaulted women.

00:46:03.000 And it all comes out at the same time, coordinated when he happened to speak out against the Ukraine

00:46:07.060 war, happened to be speaking out against pharma.

00:46:09.220 And a week after Sarah Ashton Cirillo said that a predator or that a puppet was going

00:46:17.040 down?

00:46:17.280 A puppet was going down?

00:46:18.240 There's so much that's sick about it.

00:46:19.540 It's like, you get these spinoff hit pieces.

00:46:21.880 So we have like Wired.com, the dark economics of Russell Brand.

00:46:25.680 Oh, this is so nauseating to me, honestly.

00:46:27.180 You guys can bring it up on the screen, actually.

00:46:28.560 I've got it right here.

00:46:29.780 Russell Brand has built a massive following on YouTube and Rumble with his conspiracy-laden

00:46:35.220 videos.

00:46:36.860 He says the mainstream is out to get him.

00:46:39.040 But is it all just a grift?

00:46:40.800 Like, a grift.

00:46:42.360 The dude has about 10 million Twitter followers, or X followers, I guess we call it now.

00:46:47.520 He has six and a half million subs on YouTube.

00:46:50.260 Like, they're basically, Wired is mad that he can make any video he wants on YouTube and

00:46:54.740 it will instantly be seen by more people than any Wired article ever written.

00:46:58.180 That's so true.

00:46:58.780 And to the point, he's a grift.

00:47:00.980 To the point there, what's the grift?

00:47:05.400 Russell Brand, and Charlie, you just explained this, has been in movies, and he's continued

00:47:10.300 his career up through this.

00:47:12.020 It's not like he was suffering from some kind of dearth of popularity like so many of these

00:47:17.060 other actors that turn to left-wing causes like you've seen over the years because they

00:47:22.060 can't get work anymore, so they have to constantly try to reinvent themselves through

00:47:24.940 the climate, through antinatalism, like Ashley Judd did, et cetera, et cetera.

00:47:28.540 No, he's still been making great movies.

00:47:31.480 He's been in top features right up until one thing came out a year or two ago, The Death

00:47:35.700 of the Nile.

00:47:37.080 And so, no, I don't think this is a grift.

00:47:40.540 I think that he is just working through coming from where he came from, grew up without a

00:47:46.120 father, thought he had one view of the world, and now he's discovering that there's another

00:47:51.400 one.

00:47:51.760 I think it's genuine.

00:47:52.540 I really do.

00:47:53.300 And like the use of the word grift is so malicious there because like actual grift, you

00:47:56.960 know, that refers to like getting money from people in like a scam sort of way.

00:48:00.840 So like you run a political organization that's like, we're going to stop Obama's commie agenda 0.93

00:48:06.640 or whatever, and you know, you just blow it on fake stuff and you never achieve anything.

00:48:10.060 That's a grift.

00:48:11.140 Russell Brand is, I think he has like a pay-per-view show on Rumble, which you don't need to pay

00:48:16.000 for.

00:48:16.280 You can still get almost all of his shows for free.

00:48:18.120 And he has a podcast and he has YouTube.

00:48:19.700 It's all free.

00:48:20.300 He also goes on tour and sells out.

00:48:21.460 Yeah.

00:48:21.780 So they all voluntarily want to hear from him.

00:48:23.520 The grift is people want to watch a Russell Brand show.

00:48:25.980 It's like calling the Simpsons a grift, like because you watch an episode of it.

00:48:30.740 Yeah.

00:48:30.900 You know, I think where this-

00:48:31.520 If you don't like it, don't watch it.

00:48:33.360 And absolutely true.

00:48:35.120 Like I actually get really upset with the accusation of grift, by the way.

00:48:40.300 First of all, if you are talented and you are making content, you absolutely should get

00:48:44.920 paid.

00:48:45.240 Not only you should, we need you to get paid.

00:48:48.260 We need every single active-

00:48:50.880 It's so overused.

00:48:51.960 Oh, I hate it.

00:48:53.240 If you are not getting paid, you cannot survive.

00:48:55.460 If you cannot survive doing good work, spreading good messages, the conservative party is so

00:49:00.440 guilty of this and it pisses me off.

00:49:02.680 If you are calling people grifters out of jealousy, shame on you.

00:49:06.380 We need people to be able to survive doing content.

00:49:09.240 We need people to survive being able to be activists.

00:49:12.140 And shame on you for shaming people for doing it.

00:49:14.900 That adds a whole-

00:49:15.960 It's a new thing.

00:49:16.960 It's really bad.

00:49:18.640 Rush never experienced that.

00:49:20.140 Rush was always open about how much money he was making.

00:49:22.380 And everyone was like, yeah, you're popular.

00:49:23.460 He's like, I'm going to try and buy an NFL team.

00:49:25.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:49:25.820 This is the house that conservatism built.

00:49:27.640 Yeah, that's right.

00:49:28.780 And, but now it's this new thing that if anybody makes any money, it's like, what is it called?

00:49:33.800 Tall poppy syndrome?

00:49:34.640 Yes.

00:49:35.000 It's a New Zealand- 0.96

00:49:35.540 Explain what that is.

00:49:36.640 Tall poppy syndrome is basically a New Zealand thing.

00:49:39.060 Well, no, it's, it's, the expression is kiwi, as far as I know.

00:49:42.740 Oh, okay.

00:49:43.180 But it, but yeah, the poppies grow in, in Holland or whatever.

00:49:46.960 So it's, but, but the, here's the thing.

00:49:48.760 Uh, the poppy field, if you look at them, and you can see this up in Washington State as well,

00:49:53.580 they'll grow at a very, uh, even level.

00:49:56.420 Equitable.

00:49:57.000 So if one poppy grows too, too tall, the other poppies, somehow there's like a connected organism.

00:50:02.300 Yeah, they will, they will force the other poppy to stay stunted until the other ones 1.00

00:50:07.560 grow up to its level.

00:50:08.620 So that's why every poppy field you see, uh, is, is at the same level and tulips as well

00:50:14.520 do the same thing.

00:50:15.160 So, oh, well, tulips would be more Dutch. 0.99

00:50:16.960 Yeah, that would be right.

00:50:18.040 Yes.

00:50:18.560 The Japanese version is the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

00:50:22.980 Yep.

00:50:23.320 Are you saying Japanese people are short, Blake?

00:50:25.160 Is that what you're saying?

00:50:25.940 Yes.

00:50:26.460 Yes, I am.

00:50:27.040 The average Japanese soldier in World War II was a four foot 10 man with no food and a ton of 1.00

00:50:31.720 meth.

00:50:32.300 That's how they were able to hide in the, uh, in the forest of Guam for so many years.

00:50:35.560 Yeah.

00:50:35.780 Yeah.

00:50:35.940 You know, just to come out 30 years later and, you know, they finally, the meth dried

00:50:39.880 up.

00:50:40.220 Yeah, exactly.

00:50:40.560 After the meth dried out and they finally, you know, had to, had to eat after their diet,

00:50:44.340 you know, 200 calories a day ran out.

00:50:46.080 Yeah.

00:50:46.520 Okay.

00:50:46.920 I don't know that I'm convinced that they were all lying.

00:50:49.420 I'm sure that Russell Brand did some things that were completely scumbaggy, but, uh, but what

00:50:55.280 I am convinced of is that this is a coordinated hit.

00:50:57.880 This is a, is his absolute result of him becoming more free thinking and anti-war, anti-vaccine.

00:51:05.560 This is absolutely an attempt to bring him down and to keep him from being so effective.

00:51:10.740 He's the type of voice, right?

00:51:14.460 I think different, different voices play different roles.

00:51:17.140 Yes.

00:51:17.360 On our shows, we convert people.

00:51:20.220 We red pill them all the time, but there is almost like a top of funnel effect to guys

00:51:24.420 like Russell Brand and Joe Rogan, where they get them primed for the, for, for seeing the

00:51:29.200 world a different way, for exposing the corruption of the fake news media.

00:51:32.480 That's the other thing he does better than just about anybody.

00:51:35.040 He will take a full episode going over one BS New York Times article and he will call it

00:51:41.340 out point by point.

00:51:42.380 And it's really, he does it expertly done.

00:51:44.060 I mean, hilarious.

00:51:44.740 No, and, and so the point is I, I buy into all of that and I buy into the fact that this, 0.64

00:51:51.020 that this absolute dogmatic, insane, believe all women. 1.00

00:51:57.540 Now we're going to sick the UK government on it.

00:51:59.840 Just like the Spanish government's now involved in this, like one peck that lasted 0.5, not

00:52:05.500 even publicly too, by the way, publicly after a victory, we win the women's world cup and

00:52:10.260 it's all, it's all, it's all derailed because of one neurotic woman. 1.00

00:52:15.740 Uh, it, it, it, this is completely, uh, this is astroturf attack against him and I find

00:52:22.840 it despicable, but I found, listen, he's been honest about it.

00:52:26.500 So anyways, I digress.

00:52:28.420 And it's because of his politics and look, so Russell, you have allies in us, man, and

00:52:31.900 it's too bad that, uh, you have to go through this.

00:52:34.060 All right, Jack, let's play this one more piece of tape here.

00:52:36.460 You know, so they contacted the young ladies who Russell Brand slept with, which there are

00:52:40.380 lots of, right?

00:52:41.440 He is like Sultan Brunei, Genghis Khan, King Solomon level.

00:52:44.720 Yes.

00:52:45.080 He was open about it though, by the way, and he's fixed, he's fixed it.

00:52:48.080 Right.

00:52:49.000 Allegedly.

00:52:49.460 Allegedly.

00:52:50.120 I, I, I wish him well in his recovering sex addiction.

00:52:52.800 Yeah. 0.97

00:52:53.220 He, he, he, he claimed to be a sex addict. 1.00

00:52:55.300 He says he's a sex addict. 1.00

00:52:56.420 Yeah. 0.97

00:52:56.660 But this young lady says, look, yeah, we, we had a relationship and it was great, but

00:53:00.700 that wasn't put in the article.

00:53:01.840 Play cut 125.

00:53:04.100 Um, I actually know who this is about and I have the receipts.

00:53:08.160 I was contacted in June by a journalist, uh, regarding a video I made, uh, about a certain

00:53:14.500 celebrity and a weekend that we shared together.

00:53:17.520 The video is kind of viral.

00:53:18.840 Uh, it's on my page somewhere if you want to go see it.

00:53:21.480 And that certain somebody was, as most of you will be aware, Mr. Brand.

00:53:26.240 They weren't going to use my story because it didn't fit the narrative for their documentary 0.97

00:53:32.080 because he wasn't an asshole to me. 0.73

00:53:35.220 But here are some of the messages. 0.93

00:53:37.400 Obviously I will take out the person's name and stuff.

00:53:41.860 We had a phone call.

00:53:42.980 She contacted me for more information and I didn't contact her back because I kind of

00:53:47.720 felt like it would be mean.

00:53:49.340 Anyway, there you go.

00:53:50.620 Put your bets on.

00:53:51.920 It's a documentary about the one and only Mr. Russell Brand.

00:53:55.780 Uh, and just a fun fact.

00:53:57.720 Astrology wise, the lunar nodes of destiny have shifted into Aries right on top of his Mars

00:54:04.220 and moon.

00:54:05.440 Written in the stars, baby.

00:54:06.820 Okay.

00:54:07.120 Bye.

00:54:07.440 Whoa, the lunar charts have shifted to Aries.

00:54:12.820 Guys, I think we need, I think we just found the new thought crime segment.

00:54:15.960 They love, yeah.

00:54:16.520 I can see why her and Russell got along.

00:54:17.960 Yeah, a hundred percent.

00:54:19.620 I mean, I guess, you know, a truth here is like, if you're a guy as charismatic as Russell

00:54:24.200 Brand, as attractive as Russell Brand, you create like, I think the slang term that like

00:54:27.880 the insoles on the internet uses like alpha widows where it's like, they have a lot of exes 1.00

00:54:32.980 and a lot of these women get really like, some of them are fine. 0.99

00:54:36.340 Some of them are like, oh, he was great.

00:54:37.420 You know, like we just had a fun thing together.

00:54:39.400 And then, but some of them just like go insane.

00:54:41.440 Like they couldn't, they couldn't relax.

00:54:42.440 It's also because he got married now, right?

00:54:44.460 Yeah.

00:54:44.560 And he got married.

00:54:45.100 He married someone else.

00:54:46.540 And they have it.

00:54:47.760 He has definitively, he has definitively rejected them in favor of someone else.

00:54:51.260 Yes.

00:54:51.540 And, you know, they go nuts from it.

00:54:54.140 It doesn't necessarily mean it's all lying, but people, you know, they can kind of rationalize

00:54:58.580 things in their head and, you know, especially with all the politics.

00:55:00.980 Especially other women in their ear. 0.99

00:55:02.980 Other women will make other women do crazy things. 1.00

00:55:05.940 I would, I would never, I would never be attracted to a man with those right wing views.

00:55:10.700 And then, it must have been, you know, if they get to a certain age and those eggs

00:55:16.580 aren't used, they scramble.

00:55:17.920 So.

00:55:19.000 That's right.

00:55:19.760 What is that expression?

00:55:20.600 A woman scorned? 0.99

00:55:21.940 A woman scorned. 1.00

00:55:22.780 No fury.

00:55:23.620 That's right.

00:55:24.300 Jack, tell us about.

00:55:25.320 Empty egg carton.

00:55:26.520 My Patriot Supply.

00:55:28.500 I don't want those.

00:55:29.320 Definitely don't want those.

00:55:30.760 My Patriot Supply.

00:55:32.000 Folks.

00:55:33.380 Here's something that we do want, because do you ever get the feeling, especially when

00:55:37.080 you watch a show like this, that something unthinkable is going to happen soon?

00:55:41.100 I'm not saying here on the show.

00:55:42.180 I mean in the real world, because I do.

00:55:44.580 And with all the distractions and smoke screens in the media, we probably aren't going to see

00:55:48.800 it coming.

00:55:49.140 And that's why it's smart to invest in emergency food today.

00:55:53.160 As a wise man once said, in fact, my father used to always say this, it's better to have

00:55:57.120 it and not need it than need it and not have it.

00:55:59.700 And my Patriot Supply is the nation's leader in emergency food storage.

00:56:35.460 Okay, Harry Rogers.

00:56:37.100 Or is it Henry?

00:56:37.760 I always get it right.

00:56:38.120 Henry Rogers.

00:56:38.820 Henry?

00:56:39.160 Because he has the same name as the Daily Caller reporter, also named Henry Rogers.

00:56:42.360 Henry Rogers!

00:56:43.800 Wait, I thought you were talking about the Daily Caller reporter. 0.99

00:56:46.220 Henry Rogers is a grifter.

00:56:47.540 What's going on, Blake?

00:56:48.200 All right, so Henry Rogers, this is just, I wanted to highlight this today, because it is,

00:56:51.780 we need a light story, you know, they're besieging us, they're trying to start a nuclear war.

00:56:55.080 So we have to give the truth about Henry Rogers, or as he's known to the world, Ibram X.

00:56:59.880 Kendi, now the ex-director of the Ibram Kendi Anti-Racist Center.

00:57:03.980 So 2020, everyone was going insane.

00:57:06.520 They were like, they're going to burn down every city.

00:57:08.660 What can we blow money on to prove that we oppose racism?

00:57:11.800 And obviously they gave, you know, what, $400 million to BLM, a gazillion dollars to

00:57:17.320 NAACP.

00:57:18.240 One of the big winners was Ibram X.

00:57:20.000 Kendi, who is kind of, you know, Ta-Nehisi Coates was a big deal like eight years ago, 0.86

00:57:24.400 but he wasn't dumb enough. 0.97

00:57:25.620 They needed a dumber Ta-Nehisi Coates. 1.00

00:57:27.440 So we got Ibram X. 0.96

00:57:28.300 Kendi, author of How to Be Anti-Racist.

00:57:31.160 That was put on all these reading lists.

00:57:32.860 And they gave him a bunch of money to start an anti-racist center at Boston University.

00:57:37.780 This was started with a, I've got the article here.

00:57:40.340 This was started with a lot of fanfare.

00:57:42.480 About three years ago, it got a total of about $43 million in funding from various tech

00:57:48.400 people, various institutions, and they were going to produce all of the scholarship on

00:57:53.160 anti-racism.

00:57:55.400 And three years in, they just announced last week that they're basically firing everyone

00:57:59.480 at the center.

00:58:00.400 Money's out, shutting it down.

00:58:02.320 There's recriminations of a toxic culture at the center.

00:58:06.180 Who would have imagined that?

00:58:07.820 And also some people are wondering where all of the money went because they got $43 million.

00:58:12.080 So you could pay 43 people, or you could pay 20 people $500,000 a year for two years, and

00:58:20.580 you'd get something out of that, presumably.

00:58:23.560 But what we got out of them was they set up an opinion page at the Boston Globe called

00:58:28.100 The Emancipator.

00:58:28.920 It seems to put out an article a week, roughly.

00:58:32.100 They created a COVID race data tracker to see if black people or Hispanics or whatever were

00:58:37.560 dying more of COVID.

00:58:38.380 That collected data until about March of 2021, and then it stopped.

00:58:44.560 And they hosted, they were scheduling a book, an anti-racist book fair.

00:58:49.780 They held one of them on the internet, an online-only book festival.

00:58:54.440 And then the next one was canceled.

00:58:56.100 And that's pretty much it.

00:58:57.820 That's what they got for $43 million.

00:58:59.680 And so everyone's like, wait a minute.

00:59:01.500 So yeah, yeah.

00:59:01.960 So yeah, there's an investigation into this, right?

00:59:03.860 Now they're investigating that.

00:59:04.460 Because maybe they did the BLM thing where the money just went boop.

00:59:07.520 Yeah, and the very bland version of it might have been, they just literally like, they

00:59:12.320 had these hilarious offices, like an associate director of narrative.

00:59:16.520 Like they had an entire narratives department, the way that you'd have like a Department of

00:59:20.200 the Treasury, Department of Education, Department of Narrative.

00:59:23.520 Propaganda.

00:59:24.060 And, but they didn't seem to come up with a lot of narratives.

00:59:26.620 We tried to warn these people during Floydapalooza that this is not going to end well.

00:59:30.600 You know, and yet the same, at the same thing, this is probably what you were paying for.

00:59:33.880 You were paying to give, you know, a bunch of money to be like, oh, you know, anti-racism

00:59:38.300 leader Ibram X Kendi, author of the, author of the brilliant bestseller, How to Be Anti-Racist

00:59:42.980 and possessor of a brilliant 1000 SAT score, as one of our top intellectuals.

00:59:47.580 That's true, by the way.

00:59:48.340 He got like a 1000 on the SAT.

00:59:49.940 Well, because it's racist.

00:59:51.120 It's racist.

00:59:51.880 It is admittedly racist.

00:59:53.020 The SAT score, or the SAT test is absolutely systemically oppressive to non-war. 0.62

00:59:57.300 It is.

00:59:57.720 You know, it asks a lot of things.

00:59:59.140 It asks you to figure, you know, solve for X.

01:00:00.820 Solve for X.

01:00:01.760 X is in his fake name.

01:00:03.860 Solve for X.

01:00:04.460 I'm going to put X in my name.

01:00:05.540 That is traumatizing to him.

01:00:07.320 Solve for himself?

01:00:08.500 He can't do that. 0.96

01:00:09.640 So, Ibram X Kendi is legitimately one of the most loathsome people in modern America. 1.00

01:00:15.040 Charlie, do you agree?

01:00:16.160 Yeah, I just want to read this, because this is from the Boston local paper.

01:00:19.920 The complaints focused on the center's culture and its grant management practices.

01:00:26.620 Translation?

01:00:27.580 Money.

01:00:27.900 Money, meaning what they're spending money on and who's getting the money.

01:00:33.320 We previously initiated an examination of those grant management practices, and that

01:00:38.740 will continue.

01:00:39.800 Based on additional information provided to us, we're expanding our inquiry to include

01:00:44.500 the center's management culture and the faculty and staff experience with it.

01:00:49.540 We recognize Dr. Kendi's important work and the significant impact it had on anti-racist

01:00:54.180 thinking and policy, and while he takes strong exception to the allegations made in recent

01:00:59.260 complaints and media reports, we look forward to working with him as we conduct our assessment.

01:01:04.200 Basically, this is Boston University doing the most, like, the lightest kid glove touch

01:01:10.160 possible, because they don't want to be called a racist.

01:01:12.280 Yeah, 100%.

01:01:13.240 Like, you just have to be super, super delight for, essentially, as they were given.

01:01:16.560 He might be doing illegal stuff, but we love Dr. Kendi.

01:01:19.960 No, but this is the equivalent of L. Ron Hubbard creating, like, a cult based on, you know,

01:01:26.620 he was a science fiction writer, and then he created, like, a book that, you know.

01:01:30.820 So, Dianetics.

01:01:31.820 Dianetics.

01:01:32.720 I'm not kidding.

01:01:33.860 Listen to this.

01:01:35.040 This sounds like some snake oil salesman, and somehow all these liberal white elites 0.66

01:01:41.520 just took it hook, line, and sinker.

01:01:43.660 The only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination.

01:01:50.140 The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.

01:01:55.040 The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

01:01:59.200 That is a, like, an anthem, like a, like a, what do you call it?

01:02:05.140 It's like a spiritual recant, like a cantation.

01:02:09.420 Incantation.

01:02:10.040 Incantation.

01:02:10.960 It is very spooky to me, reading that, and then to think that white liberals were hoodwinked

01:02:17.300 into giving this man nearly $40 million.

01:02:18.360 Jack Dorsey gave him $10 million.

01:02:20.280 Of course he did.

01:02:20.720 Yeah, and, you know, actually, I kind of have, I don't want to say respect, but I kind of like

01:02:25.620 that we got, you know, Mr. Doctor, Dr. Rogers, because he's sort of, you need these ones who

01:02:32.760 are dumb enough to really just come out and say what it is, because, you know, with the 0.91

01:02:37.100 really sophisticated ones, basically, you know, you know, the, I'm spacing her name, 0.99

01:02:43.640 the, you know, how to be.

01:02:44.660 Patrice Cullors?

01:02:45.500 Oh, yeah, Robin DiAngelo.

01:02:46.580 Robin DiAngelo.

01:02:47.460 They're, like, a lot more, like, vague about what they want, but he's the one who just kind

01:02:50.340 of dumbly storms ahead. 0.99

01:02:52.420 Yeah, he's just like, we want black bathrooms and white bathrooms. 0.99

01:02:57.600 Well, he's not even that, he's just like, a law is racist if it has a different outcome.

01:03:00.860 Oh, Ryan, Ryan, you got to get the clip of where he was asked what racism is, and he

01:03:04.200 does the what is a woman thing, he says racism is when you guys are experiencing racism.

01:03:07.680 I remember that clip.

01:03:09.020 And he's just like, and he's like, no, it's a real thing.

01:03:10.800 It is.

01:03:11.000 And he's just like, we should have a department of anti-racism, and they can nullify any law.

01:03:14.600 In the government, yes.

01:03:15.240 He's like, and it can nullify any law if it's racist, and a law is racist if it has a different

01:03:19.660 outcome based on race.

01:03:20.600 Spoilers for all of you, every law ever passed has had different results based on race. 0.95

01:03:25.820 They're, you know, they're trying to find the race-neutral policy for things, and it's

01:03:30.240 like trying to find, you know, the ether.

01:03:33.620 Jack, I feel like all of us combined are like the rush thing.

01:03:37.020 Are we getting sick of doing the I told you so thing?

01:03:39.380 We try to warn people on Ukraine, we try to warn people on vaccines, try to warn people

01:03:43.120 on masks, try to warn people on lockdowns, try to warn people on every one of these possible

01:03:48.060 tensile tops on the border, on Biden, on voter integrity.

01:03:51.900 And yes, we warned people about the grift of the quote-unquote black intellectual movement. 1.00

01:03:58.040 Jack Posobiec.

01:03:59.380 Well, you know, it was interesting because Chris Rufo just brought up my interaction with

01:04:04.440 Kendi and said this was the beginning of the end for Kendi, and then quote tweeted it.

01:04:08.840 This is from almost a full two years ago, back October 30th, 2021, where I caught Kendi tweeting

01:04:16.680 something very in a thread and then deleted it very quickly.

01:04:23.680 And so what he had actually said was, he found us, he said, he tweeted out this article that

01:04:29.800 said, more than a third of white students lied on their race about college, lie about their

01:04:34.620 race on college applications.

01:04:35.780 And then half of those applicants lied about being Native American.

01:04:39.620 More than three-fourths of the white students who lied about their race were accepted.

01:04:45.580 So then I wrote, Ibram X.

01:04:47.800 Kendi just accidentally admitted that minority applicants have a better chance of getting into

01:04:53.060 college, deleting his tweet, thereby debunking his entire life's work in just one tweet.

01:05:02.000 I remember this.

01:05:03.300 Then Kendi goes, he goes back to me, they're lying about what I said.

01:05:08.060 I post a tweet about it, which shows exactly what he says.

01:05:10.940 Then he replies with this.

01:05:13.120 Here is their tortured line of thinking.

01:05:16.820 When white applicants think they have an advantage about lying about being a person of color,

01:05:21.420 then that means they do have an advantage.

01:05:23.580 So that means that structural advantage doesn't exist.

01:05:26.540 So then I wrote, and this is the best part.

01:05:28.060 Then I wrote, I broke Kendi, and just posted all the tweets.

01:05:32.880 And then Kendi responds the next day, Jack couldn't deny his lies.

01:05:37.020 So this is how he responded.

01:05:38.580 His broke reference has a long history within racist structures.

01:05:42.460 Of course. 0.94

01:05:42.820 White enslavers boasted of breaking black people when they did not break black people. 0.98

01:05:49.700 The resistance never stopped then, and it won't stop today. 0.98

01:05:52.900 He's referring, of course, to the black supremacist conspiracy theory of buck-breaking. 0.60

01:06:01.340 So buck-breaking is essentially – Charlie, do you know what buck-breaking is?

01:06:06.460 No.

01:06:08.180 We should do a live reaction to that.

01:06:11.200 I wouldn't want to watch it, but is a black supremacist conspiracy theory, even one that includes films that were made by the great Tariq Nasheed,

01:06:25.380 the noted 90s rapper of such great singles as Washoe Booty.

01:06:29.080 So Tariq is now in the black supremacist – I'm not even joking – is now in the black supremacist game making videos called Buck-breaking. 0.91

01:06:37.480 Buck-breaking, of course, is when a white slave-owning male would then sexually punish a male slave first by typically flogging him 0.98

01:06:47.920 and then subsequently sexually assaulting or raping him in front of other slaves in order to humiliate him.

01:06:55.780 Now, what's interesting is that even on wiktionary.com, it actually states that the term buck-breaking comes from the 21st century.

01:07:07.120 Yeah, so he believes in this entirely cracked-out, bizarre internet conspiracy theory, which we have some images if you want to bring up 128 and 129.

01:07:16.620 So Tariq Nasheed, who was this kind of colorful guy – he appeared on Tucker Carlson a few times.

01:07:21.520 He has a very colorful Twitter presence.

01:07:23.880 Yeah, he makes this bizarre documentary.

01:07:25.340 I actually liked Tariq.

01:07:26.200 I watched it.

01:07:27.060 I watched it.

01:07:27.820 He's great.

01:07:28.380 It is a very bizarre –

01:07:30.140 You watched it?

01:07:31.620 Yeah.

01:07:32.140 So the thing is, it's kind of like the – it's like the Karen movie that came out on BET a few years ago.

01:07:38.820 You've got to be a glutton for punishment because the plot of the movie, such as it was as a documentary,

01:07:44.300 is that this practice, which didn't exist, but supposedly took place in the past.

01:07:48.280 What is that? 0.97

01:07:48.860 And that it exists today, and what it is is modern elites are trying to turn black men gay to emasculate the black man, 0.98

01:08:00.100 and this will further systemic racism. 0.99

01:08:01.440 Oh, and black men hate this, by the way. 0.98

01:08:03.160 But there's some truth to that, though, right? 0.99

01:08:05.120 They all complain that – have you ever seen a – it's like every black actor in Hollywood eventually has to dress up like a woman. 0.97

01:08:13.020 Have you guys heard about this?

01:08:13.900 No, yeah, that's right.

01:08:14.380 Dave Chappelle talked about it.

01:08:15.400 He's like – I think it was Dave Chappelle.

01:08:17.160 Maybe it was – I think it was Dave Chappelle.

01:08:20.460 Anyways, it's like every black actor in modern Hollywood at one point or time or another has to play like a female role, 0.92

01:08:27.800 like dress up in drag, right?

01:08:29.500 It's like a rite of passage.

01:08:30.860 Yeah, it's crazy, actually.

01:08:32.720 Who besides Eddie Murphy?

01:08:34.820 There's a ton.

01:08:35.720 The guys in White Chicks, I guess. 1.00

01:08:36.580 Is that like when they say you've got to do gay porn before I've got to do straight porn? 0.99

01:08:40.060 Because it's kind of like – 0.99

01:08:40.540 You'd know about that, Jack.

01:08:41.640 Not me.

01:08:42.420 I wouldn't know that.

01:08:43.920 We're all shaking our heads.

01:08:45.960 All right.

01:08:46.220 Is that a thing, Jack?

01:08:47.040 I don't know.

01:08:47.460 Tell us.

01:08:48.280 Actually, Jack, can you talk about this for five, ten minutes?

01:08:50.460 I mean, if you need ten minutes, what can I say that I hear dark, disturbing things on the internet,

01:08:58.920 but sometimes you don't have all the time.

01:09:01.440 Oh, yeah.

01:09:01.740 He's heard about it, guys.

01:09:03.560 Jack does it so you don't have to, folks.

01:09:06.840 So, honestly.

01:09:08.260 All right.

01:09:08.660 Let's go to the tape of Ibram X. Kendi.

01:09:12.480 Henry Rogers, Playcut 127.

01:09:15.440 You talked about the importance of defining racism.

01:09:18.580 I didn't hear your personal definition.

01:09:21.040 Is there one that you would offer us?

01:09:23.080 Like, how do you define racism?

01:09:25.040 Sure.

01:09:25.380 So, racism, I would define it as a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity

01:09:34.220 that are substantiated by racist ideas.

01:09:37.640 And anti-racism is pretty simple using the same terms.

01:09:42.020 Anti-racism is a collection of anti-racist policies leading to racial, anyone want to take a guess?

01:09:47.940 Equity that are substantiated by anti-racist ideas.

01:09:51.240 It's so simple.

01:09:52.120 Give that man $43 million.

01:09:55.220 Look, I'm going to go out on a limb.

01:09:56.480 I don't know, but I would just, I don't know where all that money went.

01:10:00.260 Listen, I, now that you say it, I, I'm even more convinced than ever that the SATs is just

01:10:08.380 like straight up very equitable.

01:10:11.480 We should have IQ tests.

01:10:12.540 We need to make a, um, like a parody of...

01:10:14.380 Bring back the IQ tests. 0.97

01:10:15.640 They're making the SAT dumber, by the way. 0.99

01:10:17.260 Did you know that? 0.99

01:10:18.380 Like, they keep making it...

01:10:19.300 I don't think they're getting rid of the SAT completely.

01:10:20.220 Well, they're trying, Liv's wanting to get rid of it completely, but the SAT is trying

01:10:22.540 to keep up. 0.99

01:10:23.020 So, they keep making it dumber and dumber. 0.99

01:10:24.320 Like, it used to be a pretty good IQ test. 0.98

01:10:26.480 Like, only, like, three people in America would get a perfect score every year.

01:10:30.200 It was really tough to get a high score on it.

01:10:32.220 And they keep, like, lowering the ceiling to try to...

01:10:34.600 Of course they do.

01:10:34.620 Because they think if they kind of squash the ceiling, it will wipe out a lot of the disparities.

01:10:38.620 And they are failing at this badly.

01:10:40.400 Such a great lie.

01:10:41.400 The higher you make the standards, the more excellent everybody will become.

01:10:45.800 The lower you make the standards, the more horrible everybody will become.

01:10:49.160 And it is across the board, whether it's academics, whether it's work product,

01:10:53.480 sports, whether it's physical education.

01:10:55.400 You had that one Instagram going back to, like, the 1950s, 60s, like...

01:10:59.800 We used to be an excellent country.

01:11:00.860 Yeah, physical education.

01:11:01.680 That thing did, like, what, four million views?

01:11:05.660 It's sad, the lowering of standards.

01:11:07.540 And Ebron X. Kennedy is, like, the...

01:11:09.200 Why is there gender segregation in chess? 0.98

01:11:10.200 What's that?

01:11:11.160 Oh, yeah.

01:11:11.900 I thought we did a thought crumb on that, right?

01:11:14.260 We mentioned it.

01:11:15.600 No, I did a whole hour on it.

01:11:16.780 Why do women need their own category in chess? 1.00

01:11:19.460 Oh, yes.

01:11:20.580 That was a great AMA.

01:11:22.220 That was an all-time classic.

01:11:23.880 Yeah, that was, I think, one of the great Charlie Kirk show specials.

01:11:26.860 Jack, why?

01:11:27.520 Why is it, Jack?

01:11:29.380 Well, they just...

01:11:30.340 Well, I remember what Charlie said on there, and it's that men and women excel in different

01:11:34.680 things.

01:11:35.220 And it's the right answer.

01:11:36.860 Micro and macro is the best way.

01:11:38.960 Men are better at strategy, geopolitics, big picture vision, sports, weather, politics,

01:11:44.940 government.

01:11:45.660 Women are much more in relationships, feelings, conversations. 1.00

01:11:48.200 And chess is very analytical, strategic, and almost, like, configuration of war.

01:11:54.240 I'm actually curious, Jack.

01:11:55.360 I'll throw to you...

01:11:55.980 Sorry to interrupt.

01:11:57.240 I'm curious what our audience thinks about this.

01:11:59.960 Do you agree with the micro-macro thing?

01:12:02.120 It's not a matter of agreement.

01:12:03.280 It's a fact.

01:12:03.380 Well, no.

01:12:03.740 I mean, but is that a good way of explaining it?

01:12:06.180 I mean...

01:12:06.520 It's not mine.

01:12:07.020 It's Prager's.

01:12:07.060 When we say these things, women in the audience, drop into the comments on Rumble like I want 1.00

01:12:11.040 to hear.

01:12:11.300 Women think macro very poorly. 1.00

01:12:13.280 They do.

01:12:13.700 And men think micro very poorly.

01:12:15.320 It's why men don't clean up after themselves as well. 0.99

01:12:17.600 It's the Adam Krola thing about, like, women don't know who fought in World War II. 0.72

01:12:20.380 Then that's...

01:12:20.880 But that's fine.

01:12:21.340 They don't know what decade it took place in.

01:12:21.960 But they know all the neighbors' names and all the cousins' birthdays, and men don't.

01:12:25.020 So, this is what I was going to say, was that this was when, in the intel community,

01:12:29.260 we always knew that if you wanted to target a terrorist network and you really wanted

01:12:33.400 to know who's who in the zoo, you wanted to know everyone, you wanted to know the

01:12:36.220 relational status, you wanted to know who liked who, who hated who, you had to find

01:12:40.160 one of the girls.

01:12:40.940 Of course.

01:12:41.080 You had to find someone's wife. 1.00

01:12:42.460 You had to find someone's girlfriend, someone who was willing to talk to you from the Lord.

01:12:45.780 That's their gifting from the Lord.

01:12:45.860 Close to them.

01:12:46.460 100%.

01:12:46.820 And then, boom.

01:12:47.900 Like, I could just sense it with my wife, who I'm reasonably assured is not a terrorist,

01:12:52.300 that just in our life, whenever it's somebody's birthday, whenever we have to remember

01:12:56.740 something like that, you tell her one time, one time she will remember every...

01:13:01.440 I'm talking to you, like, every single person in this room, like, your daughter,

01:13:06.220 your kids, she remembers all of it.

01:13:08.120 You tell her one time, she remembers it.

01:13:09.500 Yeah, Erica's the same way.

01:13:10.720 By the way, we have different giftings, right?

01:13:12.440 If you're trying to find out, you know, who's the person that's going to try to, you know,

01:13:18.100 plot a military strategy or retake Rome, right, Blake?

01:13:23.700 Well, then there you go.

01:13:24.700 All right.

01:13:24.900 So here's the comments.

01:13:26.040 It's Kissasunders25 says, the brain is different.

01:13:31.980 And then It'sMeAgainSy says, women more closely cluster around the mean of IQ, guys more spread out. 0.90

01:13:41.320 That's very true.

01:13:42.060 That is true.

01:13:42.520 That's true.

01:13:43.500 And then BStanford81 says, yep, agree, though, although I tend to think I'm in the middle

01:13:49.960 a little bit.

01:13:50.940 But overall, yes, women think micro, men macro.

01:13:55.400 Don Meeker, I am typically extremely macro.

01:13:58.860 I often annoy the S out of men because they can't hang. 1.00

01:14:03.500 And by the way, that happens, by the way.

01:14:05.140 There's a standard deviation.

01:14:07.100 And then there's people that are outside of the mean deviation.

01:14:10.380 I'm usually in my natural state, very macro.

01:14:13.460 But if I have to go to a social function, I prefer talking to women on weekends, if it's 1.00

01:14:18.640 like some family thing, because I can't talk politics.

01:14:20.900 I'm like, because you're talked out.

01:14:22.640 But you're talked out, but you don't have the, you're not necessarily at our level, right?

01:14:27.980 So they're like, so do you think that Michelle Obama, I'm like, dude, like, please, I'd rather

01:14:33.500 talk to the women. 1.00

01:14:34.140 You know why?

01:14:34.460 Because the women will tell me, my nine-year-old, no, no, but the nine-year-old, they'll be 0.71

01:14:38.280 like, my nine-year-old's getting trans by the local school board.

01:14:40.560 And here's the five people I talked to and had coffee with.

01:14:43.000 And the nine converse.

01:14:43.780 And that's really interesting, right?

01:14:45.280 Because it's personal.

01:14:46.300 And the husband's like, yeah, I heard about that.

01:14:48.900 And that's wrong.

01:14:50.520 Yes.

01:14:50.820 And it's like, it's totally different.

01:14:52.380 So for me, that's way more interesting.

01:14:54.140 No, but I get the same thing, right?

01:14:55.120 Because people know what I do for a living.

01:14:56.720 And so they all come up to me, and the men want to talk about the macro stuff.

01:15:00.280 Trust me crazy.

01:15:00.800 I totally get where you're, we've never talked about this.

01:15:02.940 This is actually very interesting.

01:15:03.740 I am the same way.

01:15:05.660 I don't want to talk about, like, is Trump going to win?

01:15:09.120 That's the, you think we got a chance in 2024?

01:15:11.720 I want to just throw a drink in your face. 1.00

01:15:14.160 Yeah. 1.00

01:15:14.500 Go away.

01:15:14.860 But it is more interesting when the woman goes, I watched What is a Woman? 1.00

01:15:18.460 And I think I'm a Republican now.

01:15:21.380 Or the woman says, I'm having a really hard time with my 11-year-old daughter.

01:15:25.940 Yes.

01:15:26.360 And here's the thing she's dealing with.

01:15:28.100 That's interesting.

01:15:28.720 But the tragedy is, they do also forget about it faster, I think.

01:15:33.740 Women. 0.81

01:15:34.260 I just know, I know women who have just, like, seen that.

01:15:36.060 Like, they'll see What is a Woman? 1.00

01:15:37.100 And they'll be like, that's horrifying.

01:15:38.760 That's so insane. 0.93

01:15:39.820 And then they just kind of, like, they get reminded that Trump is, like, you know, orange bad man. 0.85

01:15:44.480 And just sort of.

01:15:44.900 Well, this, yeah.

01:15:46.140 But this is an interesting conversation.

01:15:46.980 Same way they forget about Rome.

01:15:49.440 Say that again, Jay?

01:15:51.540 I said there's a really interesting green text about this.

01:15:53.520 Oh, no, no.

01:15:53.980 There is a Dane Cook.

01:15:55.520 You got to look at Dane Cook.

01:15:56.800 Women never forget. 1.00

01:15:58.260 Women have memories. 1.00

01:15:59.240 Have you ever seen this?

01:16:00.200 Yes, sir.

01:16:00.620 Women never forget a slight. 1.00

01:16:02.540 There's a caveat.

01:16:03.300 Oh, no, no, no.

01:16:03.840 You got to get Dane Cook's circle of fire.

01:16:06.220 No, it's like circle of hell or something.

01:16:08.000 It was, by the way, what has happened to Dane Cook in the last, I haven't heard about him.

01:16:10.480 I used to see him at the comedy store.

01:16:11.720 He's a master of disguise.

01:16:12.300 He's in disguise somewhere.

01:16:13.460 We got to bring Dane Cook back, okay?

01:16:16.900 Because he was very, I don't care if he plagiarized.

01:16:19.080 His delivery was excellent.

01:16:20.440 If you could look up, I'll find it.

01:16:22.360 Whoever was talking, finish your thoughts.

01:16:23.520 I saw him live, like, twice, I think.

01:16:25.540 We've been very hard on women this week. 0.99

01:16:27.780 Will you agree, Charlie?

01:16:28.740 No, I think we've been fair.

01:16:29.500 No, we've been fair.

01:16:30.240 I've just complimented women. 0.98

01:16:31.320 No, I know.

01:16:31.760 That's why I love the topic.

01:16:33.480 What was it?

01:16:34.640 Yeah, we did.

01:16:35.380 But the truth is right now, young women are going heavy lib while young men are going heavy conservative.

01:16:43.460 The country would basically be, I don't know, 80%.

01:16:48.760 Our government would be 80% Republican if it was just men voting. 0.99

01:16:53.840 I mean, women tend to be more swayed by the Democrat message because it's geared towards emotional manipulation. 1.00

01:17:00.160 Now, it's not 100% true one way or the other, of course.

01:17:02.700 You've still got Eric Swalwell, and he's a Democrat.

01:17:04.480 But the point I'm making, though, is that we've been very hard.

01:17:08.740 But the strengths of women are something that we should pay attention to because we can message to them. 1.00

01:17:15.460 We can single-issue vote to them.

01:17:17.360 I'm just saying it's a fascinating insight into it.

01:17:21.380 Men are different than women, and differences make life beautiful and worth living. 1.00

01:17:26.820 I mean, this is obviously a male-oriented show.

01:17:29.540 It's all men. 1.00

01:17:30.780 There's a lot of women that are chiming in in the chat. 1.00

01:17:32.540 Yes, because women like seeing men lead, obviously. 1.00

01:17:35.560 So, I mean, that's not a new phenomenon.

01:17:38.020 Do you want me to read this Lego thing that Jack found?

01:17:39.900 Yes, please.

01:17:40.400 All right, so this is, take us maybe with a grain of salt.

01:17:43.720 This is like a green text post on 4chan, which no women are on 4chan, so I should let you know.

01:17:48.900 4chan is a strange internet website with very special men on it.

01:17:53.040 And this is a post.

01:17:54.260 Lego did a study when they created the Lego Friends line for girls,

01:17:58.140 where they discovered that when a boy plays with a toy,

01:18:00.380 and, oh, by the way, this is on the screen if they want to bring this up.

01:18:03.100 When a boy plays with a toy of a character, he tries to become the character.

01:18:07.260 When a girl does the same thing, she tries to make the character become her. 0.99

01:18:11.380 So if you give a boy a Batman toy, he's going to want to know everything there is to know about Batman.

01:18:15.580 He'll try to think and talk like Batman when he plays with a toy.

01:18:18.820 Where are the drugs?

01:18:20.160 The girl, on the other hand, is going to make Batman go shopping, bake cookies, go to the prom. 1.00

01:18:25.780 The bat prom, I guess. 1.00

01:18:28.600 That's not to say there aren't exceptions on both sides,

01:18:31.040 but that's the data that allowed Lego to finally get a foothold on the girls' market 1.00

01:18:34.580 after decades of failed attempts.

01:18:36.360 Now, if you look at how women approach things like Star Wars or remaking an animated movie, 1.00

01:18:41.380 is it any wonder that so many of them want to reinvent the IP, intellectual property,

01:18:46.080 either by feminizing it or changing the main character to look like them?

01:18:50.000 Which definitely is what they did with Star Wars, where it's just like,

01:18:52.640 100% real.

01:18:53.580 What if we made Star Wars, except all of the most important people,

01:18:56.840 would look like an angry, single, 45-year-old woman? 1.00

01:19:00.340 Catwoman.

01:19:00.700 But she's now the admiral of the resistance fleet. 0.86

01:19:05.040 All the evil people.

01:19:06.000 Okay, so we're going to play this.

01:19:06.980 It's a couple minutes long.

01:19:08.320 It's worth it.

01:19:08.700 You've got to indulge me.

01:19:09.620 This is, again, we've been maybe, Andrew says a little hard on women.

01:19:13.480 Women win all the fights. 1.00

01:19:14.520 Women control society. 1.00

01:19:16.120 Okay?

01:19:16.400 I'm just saying locally to this show.

01:19:18.800 This is a fact.

01:19:19.680 Women run the world. 1.00

01:19:21.380 That's not, we live in a matriarchy. 1.00

01:19:23.280 Just look at Russell Brand.

01:19:24.160 Play cut 131.

01:19:25.040 Now, let me tell you something.

01:19:27.280 Let me tell you why, women, you win 99.9% of all fights. 1.00

01:19:34.120 Yep.

01:19:34.780 He's going to swear, just so we're clear.

01:19:36.580 That hair, huh?

01:19:37.360 And I'll tell you why right now.

01:19:38.500 Here it is. 1.00

01:19:39.120 Because you are mental terrorists. 1.00

01:19:41.300 You are brain ninjas. 1.00

01:19:52.900 And you know how to get in there with your katana and just cut us and disappear into the night. 1.00

01:19:59.680 I'm going to tell you right now.

01:20:00.840 This is how they do it, guys.

01:20:01.980 I'm going to help you so you know when it's coming next time and you know how to maybe try

01:20:05.800 to stop this encounter from happening.

01:20:08.100 This is what's going to happen.

01:20:09.220 You're in the fight, okay?

01:20:10.360 It's going back and forth.

01:20:12.000 She's preparing to say a comment, okay?

01:20:15.540 She's going to comment on tap that she's going to say.

01:20:18.200 And it's the tiniest.

01:20:19.420 It's just a little tic-tac-sized comment. 1.00

01:20:22.960 But this is a fucking detonator. 0.99

01:20:26.820 And she's going to say it and it's going to go deep into your cerebellum and it's going 1.00

01:20:30.300 to sit there.

01:20:31.860 And at some point, three days later, 30 days later, it's going to explode, rotting you

01:20:36.480 from within.

01:20:37.200 I'm telling you right now.

01:20:38.140 She's going to say this comment and here's when you know what's coming.

01:20:42.360 Physically, I can show you when it's coming right now.

01:20:44.560 This is the physical movement that she's going to give to you.

01:20:47.180 If you're saying, Dane, how do I know?

01:20:48.480 How can I prepare myself?

01:20:49.960 Here's when it's going to happen.

01:20:51.240 During the argument, there's going to be a point where she's going to stop and change 1.00

01:20:55.580 her game up. 0.98

01:20:56.160 The minute she starts agreeing with everything you're fucking saying, look out, you are in 1.00

01:21:06.120 trouble. 1.00

01:21:06.500 Okay?

01:21:06.760 And I'll show you physically what's going to happen.

01:21:08.460 You're going to see her leg do this. 1.00

01:21:09.760 The moment her legs locks like this, you've just driven into fuckville. 0.99

01:21:20.180 And she's the mayor. 1.00

01:21:23.320 It's on Rumble.

01:21:24.120 So she's locked.

01:21:27.680 They're loving it right now.

01:21:28.920 They're loving it.

01:21:32.220 Now at this point, she's going to start agreeing with everything you're saying and that's bad.

01:21:37.760 The moment you start hearing to go, you know what?

01:21:39.540 You're absolutely right.

01:21:40.260 You're absolutely right.

01:21:40.880 And I don't even know.

01:21:41.520 Why would I even know?

01:21:43.780 Because you're the czar of right.

01:21:45.240 And we're all just floating in the sea of wrong as you go by and your ship is right.

01:21:49.320 Just please tell me.

01:21:50.680 Throw me a lifeline so I know.

01:21:53.420 You're right.

01:21:54.120 I didn't even know if I'm right about this.

01:21:55.400 I could be wrong about right now.

01:21:56.600 But you know.

01:21:58.040 Why don't you tell me if I'm right right now?

01:22:01.780 Right there. 0.99

01:22:04.840 The minute she starts hitting you with that, you better be prepared because there is a fucking 1.00

01:22:08.380 torpedo in the water. 1.00

01:22:09.760 And it's coming to get you.

01:22:13.580 Okay, so physically, here's what she's going to do.

01:22:15.420 She's going to lock the leg. 0.99

01:22:17.740 And then after she's done with her little you're right, you're right, she's going to

01:22:20.400 do something with her hand, with her arm.

01:22:23.040 And it's always different, but it involves touching her own face and then doing some kind

01:22:27.840 of windshield wiper movement.

01:22:32.780 She's going to vary it up.

01:22:34.180 It's going to be something like this.

01:22:36.560 Mm-hmm.

01:22:39.760 And look for this.

01:22:41.740 That's bad.

01:22:43.580 No, you go ahead.

01:22:48.780 Now, here's what she's going to do.

01:22:50.220 She's going to pivot her body. 1.00

01:22:52.100 She's going to pivot. 0.65

01:22:52.840 And then she's going to take three to five steps.

01:22:57.940 Three to five.

01:23:00.440 Three to five.

01:23:01.400 And she's going to slow down. 0.97

01:23:02.540 She's going to cock her head to the left.

01:23:04.960 She's going to say the comment.

01:23:07.060 She's going to say the comment.

01:23:08.260 And here's the thing.

01:23:08.840 There'll be no emphasis.

01:23:10.300 It'll be very subtle.

01:23:11.380 It'll almost be a whisper.

01:23:12.500 And why is that?

01:23:13.240 To make you listen.

01:23:14.260 And it is going to be a destroyer of worlds.

01:23:20.020 It's something like this, right?

01:23:21.000 She does the thing.

01:23:21.940 She's going to turn.

01:23:22.820 And then she's going to go like this. 1.00

01:23:23.860 Well, you're stupid like your father. 1.00

01:23:25.380 And at first, that means nothing. 1.00

01:23:46.700 At first, we laugh at it.

01:23:48.240 You say it.

01:23:48.640 You walk away.

01:23:49.120 We're like, what does that even mean?

01:23:51.580 Bye. 0.99

01:23:51.980 We have no idea that you just fucking ninja'd our brain. 0.99

01:23:59.320 We're going to be in the basement 40 minutes from then, just pacing. 0.98

01:24:03.100 And it's going to slowly start to seep in.

01:24:05.040 We're pacing back and forth, thinking about it. 1.00

01:24:09.760 Stupid like your father. 1.00

01:24:13.560 My father's a brilliant man! 1.00

01:24:17.320 You don't even know!

01:24:21.360 Explosion.

01:24:22.880 All right.

01:24:23.500 Sorry for the length.

01:24:24.560 I wanted to just say that he's one of the great Americans.

01:24:27.540 That's one of the great five minutes of all of comedy.

01:24:30.580 All right.

01:24:31.020 We want to talk about Bioptimizers.

01:24:34.100 Bioptimizers are amazing.

01:24:35.300 Magnesium.

01:24:35.800 Most Americans are magnesium deficient.

01:24:38.460 You guys got to check out magbreakthrough.com slash CJ show.

01:24:43.400 Magnesium deficiency is a real thing that lots of people suffer from.

01:24:50.260 Let me tell you that magnesium can help you have a better mood, chill out, relax.

01:24:57.340 If you wake up exhausted, you are probably magnesium deficient.

01:25:02.160 So check it out.

01:25:03.220 Ever since I started adding magnesium breakthrough to my nightly routine, I get to bed immediately.

01:25:08.920 It's not even a question.

01:25:10.100 Magbreakthrough.com slash CJ show to save 10% off.

01:25:13.820 So let's get to our favorite topic, SPQR, Blake.

01:25:17.460 Okay.

01:25:17.920 All right.

01:25:18.300 So we're going straight to the deep web reveal.

01:25:20.120 It's very important.

01:25:21.100 We wanted to hit this last week.

01:25:22.260 It would have been a much more deep web reveal if we'd gotten there last week.

01:25:25.240 But now it's more like kiddie, kiddie pool web reveal.

01:25:29.920 Okay.

01:25:30.100 It's gotten way more popular.

01:25:31.380 But we have to go around and we have to figure out how often each member of our panel thinks

01:25:37.320 about the Roman Empire, which SPQR is the Roman Republic.

01:25:40.640 That's the Senate.

01:25:41.580 We're talking about the Roman Empire specifically.

01:25:44.840 And so, you know, I should probably just go first because I insisted that we bring this

01:25:49.000 up.

01:25:49.780 I think about the Roman Empire every single day.

01:25:52.340 Oh, me too.

01:25:52.740 So here's the Guardian headline.

01:25:53.780 Women across the world are asking men how often the ancient civilization pops into their 0.95

01:25:59.800 head.

01:26:00.220 And the answer is frequently startling, theguardian.com.

01:26:06.200 So where did this come from, Jack?

01:26:08.060 Why all of a sudden are women so fascinated that we love Rome? 0.73

01:26:12.080 Well, I would just like to also point out that Blake thinks about Rome so much that he has

01:26:17.960 literally been requesting it every single episode at the Deep Web reveal since we started the

01:26:24.400 entire series.

01:26:25.960 He's like, so we should we should talk about Rome this week, guys.

01:26:28.160 Like, Blake, why are we talking about Rome?

01:26:29.420 He's like, because it's important to talk about Rome because it's because look, it's it's

01:26:34.080 it's very serious.

01:26:35.180 It's why would we not talk about Rome?

01:26:37.380 It is important.

01:26:38.260 It is extremely crucial.

01:26:39.820 Rome is the eternal city.

01:26:42.000 Rome was the capital of the entire world.

01:26:44.460 At one point, they conquered everything.

01:26:46.500 They conquered everything, the entire known world.

01:26:51.200 It is the country and the civilizational accomplishments that we continue to base almost everything in

01:26:58.740 our society off of.

01:27:00.280 People say it's just plumbing.

01:27:01.820 Ha, that's a joke. 0.99

01:27:03.620 That's ridiculous. 0.90

01:27:04.700 Do you even understand that there are concepts in every contract that you sign that go all 0.94

01:27:10.140 the way back to Roman law?

01:27:12.540 Uh, the, uh, obviously not the days of the week, but the months of the year themselves.

01:27:17.740 Do you want to know why October, November and December?

01:27:21.920 So when I was a kid, this used to bother me, right?

01:27:23.520 I would say, well, you told me that oct meant eight and nuf or nov meant meant nine and then

01:27:29.120 deca meant 10.

01:27:30.140 And yet October, November, December, that's 10, 11, 12 of the month.

01:27:34.900 So what's going on here?

01:27:36.700 We have a different starting month.

01:27:38.460 That's why.

01:27:39.960 Well, and then because they added two months as well.

01:27:42.640 You're skipping past the important ones.

01:27:44.340 July and August.

01:27:45.340 July and August.

01:27:45.920 July and August.

01:27:46.620 Caesar and Caesar Augustus.

01:27:47.740 And Augustus Caesar.

01:27:48.960 You know, our calendar, we have the Julian calendar.

01:27:51.800 It's the entire idea of leap years.

01:27:54.140 That's from the Romans.

01:27:54.840 The real calendar, the Gregorian calendar.

01:27:56.520 Obviously Christianity basically is a Roman empire thing. 0.86

01:27:59.660 Well, but like we get, we get Cicero from Rome and this idea of common law.

01:28:04.160 We get the idea of due process.

01:28:05.720 We get the idea of a Republican form of government.

01:28:08.160 Not to mention their military prowess, strength, the greatest Stoicist ever to live.

01:28:12.980 Marcus Aurelius was the last of the great emperors, right?

01:28:15.880 Not to mention Julius Caesar is objectively one of the most amazing historical figures ever.

01:28:20.440 Love him or hate him.

01:28:21.060 He's like Donald Trump.

01:28:22.200 Stoic.

01:28:22.920 I mean, yeah.

01:28:23.860 I mean, Julius Caesar wasn't a Stoic, but he was incredible.

01:28:26.700 I meant that on the list.

01:28:28.000 Yes.

01:28:28.760 Aurelius.

01:28:29.400 Aurelius.

01:28:30.180 Yeah.

01:28:30.480 And so, I mean, I think about Rome all the time, Blake.

01:28:32.840 And women are fascinated. 0.99

01:28:33.960 By the way, you know that the political people are like, and this is why they're right-wing fascists.

01:28:38.600 Yeah.

01:28:39.020 And, you know, and it's always like it's the longest lasting empire that existed in certainly the Western world.

01:28:44.320 And basically ever, for that matter.

01:28:46.880 And I guess you could throw in Egypt or some nonsense. 0.89

01:28:49.860 Ignore them.

01:28:50.720 So, you know, it lasts ages.

01:28:52.580 It has like a very well-documented rise, a very well-documented decline in fall.

01:28:56.280 So everyone's always thinking like, is America, like, are we going to collapse the way Rome did?

01:29:01.060 No.

01:29:01.400 We're going to collapse far faster.

01:29:03.120 Yeah, we're collapsing, actually.

01:29:04.340 More embarrassing.

01:29:05.200 We're in the midst of that collapse.

01:29:06.340 How many years was Rome a thing?

01:29:07.860 For 74.

01:29:08.620 That compares to Rome.

01:29:09.140 Rome was a thing.

01:29:10.020 And we're at two glorious.

01:29:11.660 Rome, in terms of being the most powerful country in the world, Rome was the most powerful thing going for about 600 years, I would say.

01:29:19.700 Yeah.

01:29:20.200 So, but what are we at?

01:29:21.500 240?

01:29:22.140 Rome was 482.

01:29:23.540 482.

01:29:24.080 Yeah, right?

01:29:24.940 But we're at 247.

01:29:26.440 476.

01:29:26.880 476 is when the Western Empire.

01:29:28.700 Well, maybe Mark Levin is wrong.

01:29:30.300 He is wrong.

01:29:31.340 And if we're counting it from the east.

01:29:33.780 If we're counting it from the east, you know, Rome goes till 1453.

01:29:37.180 Sure, 1453.

01:29:38.040 So they have a very, very long run of being very, very powerful.

01:29:42.680 America will become Brazil 2.0, so something will keep going. 0.92

01:29:45.940 Yeah, and you know, that happens to Rome in the sense that kind of Rome becomes, Rome itself, the eternal city, does become this big million-person melting pot of every culture.

01:29:56.400 And as a result, it becomes incredibly corrupt and decadent.

01:29:59.240 And then a bunch of Visigoths show up, and they sack it, and I would say they kill everyone, but actually, that's not true. 0.89

01:30:05.060 They just kind of steal everything.

01:30:06.540 So, Jack, you know why they call it Rome, right?

01:30:10.680 Because of Romulus.

01:30:11.840 Yeah, exactly.

01:30:13.020 Yeah, it all, the story of how Rome came to be.

01:30:15.540 That was a joke.

01:30:15.840 No, it's not.

01:30:16.320 I thought you were setting up like a weird joke.

01:30:17.720 I thought it was a trick question.

01:30:18.660 All roads lead to Rome, so they named their city that, so then all the roads are Rome.

01:30:22.780 That's what the road is.

01:30:24.260 Yeah, you know.

01:30:25.000 It started with a single kind of regional guy, and it just caught on incredibly quick.

01:30:29.860 Rome started as one small town, and it grew to encompass seven hills.

01:30:34.120 But it wasn't a day.

01:30:35.860 It's really also, it's really more like four hills, and they just kind of cheat and say this one hill is like several hills.

01:30:41.840 I mean, when I visited Rome, I was blown away.

01:30:43.780 It's one of the best cities ever.

01:30:44.620 The Roman Forum is incredible.

01:30:46.440 That legitimately blew me away.

01:30:47.920 Weren't you just talking about the Roman Forum, Jack?

01:30:49.560 Well, so I took my son to Rome for his fifth birthday a couple of months ago when we were on our way back home from speaking in Budapest earlier this year.

01:31:01.980 And Tanya stayed back to visit with family.

01:31:05.640 So my five-year-old and I, we spent his fifth birthday.

01:31:07.960 We did Rome.

01:31:08.760 We went to St. Peter's.

01:31:09.760 We did just everything.

01:31:10.500 We did everything to do in Rome.

01:31:11.820 We did for basically the weekend, just him and I.

01:31:14.000 And then even his school backpack is from Rome.

01:31:17.800 He even has a little statuette of the Colosseum that he just carries around with him pretty much all around the house.

01:31:23.940 And he just absolutely fell in love with Rome.

01:31:26.100 And then when we got to the roadway of the emperors and we were looking at the ruins of the Forum, and of course the statues are there, the statue of Augustus Caesar, the statue of Julius Caesar.

01:31:38.980 He was really, really fascinated with just the architecture and then the photos and depictions of how Rome looked at the time versus the ruins that he could see now.

01:31:49.500 And he could understand, even at five years old, that he was looking at a picture of what something was versus what something is now.

01:31:56.060 And he even asked me, he said, Dad, are they ever going to make it back?

01:31:58.940 And it was like one day Sunday.

01:32:00.340 Actually, funny enough, when we were out front of the Colosseum that night, I just got gone to take him and got him some strawberry gelato.

01:32:08.960 And I'm FaceTiming with Tanya, just kind of let her know we're there, you know, show her some cool pictures.

01:32:14.020 And of all people, this motorcade just flies by us on in the middle of the street, you know, presidential level motorcade.

01:32:22.160 I'm like, is this is this Georgia Maloney?

01:32:24.100 What's going on?

01:32:24.880 Is the Pope around or something?

01:32:26.060 But, you know, I could see the Popemobile around.

01:32:28.780 So I wasn't really sure.

01:32:29.500 And you see you see presidential level motorcades in D.C. all the time.

01:32:32.040 So I'm kind of used to them.

01:32:33.240 And so I wasn't sure who it was at the time.

01:32:36.280 Then I wake up the next morning and they say, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has made a surprise visit to Rome and landed last night.

01:32:43.080 So, oh, great.

01:32:43.840 Zelensky literally photobombed me while I was checking to take a picture of my son at the Colosseum.

01:32:47.360 So there you go.

01:32:48.660 He haunts you.

01:32:49.680 Rome is the eternal city.

01:32:51.120 But I mean, you guys didn't answer the question, by the way.

01:32:53.400 How often do you guys every day?

01:32:54.980 I mean, I have a bus to Marcus Aurelius in my office.

01:32:57.300 I have Caesar crossing the Rubicon in my office, too.

01:33:00.900 I have like tons of Roman paraphernalia.

01:33:02.660 We talked about this in the chat.

01:33:03.460 We're Roman Catholic.

01:33:04.640 So that's I mean, that's pretty like we pray.

01:33:06.860 I was born Roman Catholic.

01:33:08.140 So there's that.

01:33:09.140 Yeah.

01:33:09.560 You'll come home eventually.

01:33:10.460 You don't think about Rome.

01:33:11.600 And we constantly, constantly think of Rome.

01:33:14.500 No.

01:33:15.160 No question.

01:33:15.720 I think of Rome.

01:33:16.760 So it was funny.

01:33:17.280 You got you like peppered me with questions in the chat.

01:33:19.340 You were like, do you?

01:33:20.800 I was like, I don't get it.

01:33:21.780 Like, but he doesn't get it.

01:33:24.480 I know.

01:33:25.000 But then you started asking me as well.

01:33:26.560 I watched the documentary.

01:33:28.100 I, you know, the documentaries multiple.

01:33:30.840 I watched.

01:33:32.420 I think I even watched the HBO show about it.

01:33:34.540 Right.

01:33:34.760 At least some of the episodes.

01:33:36.020 I made about it a fair amount.

01:33:38.340 Like I watched Gladiator.

01:33:39.980 Do you even know who who Claudius was?

01:33:41.900 Yes.

01:33:42.380 He was.

01:33:43.100 He slept with his sisters.

01:33:45.380 He's wrong.

01:33:45.960 He doesn't know who Claudius is, guys.

01:33:47.700 Caligula or Claudius?

01:33:48.340 Oh, Caligula.

01:33:49.100 I'm thinking about Caligula.

01:33:49.940 Yeah.

01:33:50.620 Sorry.

01:33:51.100 Wrong guy.

01:33:51.640 No, I, I, I think I know who Claudius is.

01:33:53.980 Give me, give me, wait, give me a hint.

01:33:55.600 Give me a reminder.

01:33:56.340 Claudius is the one who's like, was like disabled. 0.93

01:33:58.940 And also he has the whole novel about him.

01:34:00.620 I, Claudius.

01:34:01.360 Nope.

01:34:01.700 And they got the BBC documentary.

01:34:02.820 Don't know that one.

01:34:04.100 Disappointing.

01:34:04.620 I don't know.

01:34:05.180 I don't think about it all the time.

01:34:06.460 Do you know Tiberius?

01:34:07.080 Yes.

01:34:08.060 Who's Tiberius?

01:34:09.000 Tiberius was the second emperor.

01:34:10.500 Yeah.

01:34:10.680 I was going to say that.

01:34:11.480 I knew he was an emperor, but.

01:34:12.400 He came after Caesar Augustus.

01:34:12.980 What's he famous for though?

01:34:15.080 Not crossing the Tiber.

01:34:16.700 No.

01:34:17.020 No. 0.96

01:34:19.940 Maybe with like molesting and eating all the little boys and stuff. 0.59

01:34:22.020 I, I admitted this is not my strong suit.

01:34:23.900 I don't think about it all the time.

01:34:24.900 You're picking on Andrew.

01:34:26.140 I know.

01:34:26.640 But you know, it's fun to pick on Andrew.

01:34:28.300 It's fair.

01:34:28.800 Now this is one almost everyone's going to know.

01:34:30.880 Even women are going to know this. 1.00

01:34:32.140 Do you know who Maximus Thrax was?

01:34:34.460 I don't even know who Maximus Thrax is. 0.54

01:34:36.580 You guys are killing me.

01:34:37.580 They don't know who Maximus Thrax is, everyone.

01:34:39.720 All of you guys know who Maximus Thrax is.

01:34:40.380 In the audience, do you know Maximus Thrax?

01:34:42.220 Everyone in the audience knows who Maximus Thrax is, guaranteed.

01:34:45.340 I mean, listen, I, I know about Caesar.

01:34:48.900 I know about the Triumvirate.

01:34:50.680 I know about the, you know, I know about the formula.

01:34:53.760 Oh, there were two of them.

01:34:54.840 All right.

01:34:54.960 See, I know about the Caesar.

01:34:56.300 The first one.

01:34:57.320 Pompey.

01:34:58.120 Pompey.

01:34:58.640 Caesar.

01:34:59.220 And yeah.

01:34:59.780 Who was the third of the Triumvirate?

01:35:01.260 Mark Antony.

01:35:02.120 Mark Antony.

01:35:02.400 No.

01:35:02.880 That was the second one.

01:35:03.740 That was the second one.

01:35:04.360 It's Crassus.

01:35:05.020 Yeah, Crassus.

01:35:05.520 Crassus.

01:35:06.000 The third man.

01:35:06.140 He got gold poured down his throat in Persia.

01:35:07.880 I watched the Netflix documentary about this.

01:35:09.000 But Mark Antony was in the second Triumvirate.

01:35:10.500 Yeah.

01:35:10.640 Second one was Octavian, Antony, and a dude named Lepidus.

01:35:12.620 But it's been a while.

01:35:13.260 It's been a while.

01:35:13.820 It's fuzzy now.

01:35:14.620 But, you know, listen.

01:35:15.340 The point is, I am an appreciator, but I'm not the guy that thinks of Rome every day.

01:35:19.680 I'm just not.

01:35:20.660 Killing me.

01:35:21.320 Yeah. 0.74

01:35:21.500 So it's so funny.

01:35:22.180 When this came out, I think about Rome every day, but I didn't realize I consciously think

01:35:25.760 about Rome as much as I think about Rome until this thing came out.

01:35:28.640 I was like, yeah, of course.

01:35:29.560 We think about Rome all the time.

01:35:30.620 I don't have this burden.

01:35:31.520 Was he just women didn't know?

01:35:32.840 When Elon Musk was going to fight Mark Zuckerberg, where were they going to fight?

01:35:36.440 They were going to fight in the Coliseum.

01:35:40.080 And that would have been epic.

01:35:41.320 It would have been epic.

01:35:42.120 It should have happened.

01:35:42.600 And then Mark Zuckerberg said, well, he's obviously not serious about it.

01:35:45.300 So, like, it's over.

01:35:46.580 And I was like, why don't you just wait until he says his surgery is done and then do it

01:35:50.620 anyway?

01:35:50.940 He should have just invited Elon Musk to, like, a tech event in Rome and then just come

01:35:55.580 out and be like, I'm ready to go.

01:35:57.380 Let's go to the Coliseum.

01:35:58.520 Yeah.

01:35:58.820 Just right.

01:35:59.320 Andrew.

01:36:00.300 It's not about necessarily knowing, like, every piece of trivia about Rome.

01:36:04.060 It's about could you imagine yourself in gladiator armor walking into the Coliseum to

01:36:10.020 do battle with Mark Zuckerberg?

01:36:11.540 No, but here's the thing.

01:36:12.640 I mean, I would put gladiator as one of probably my top ten movies.

01:36:16.220 Look at him.

01:36:16.480 Look at him.

01:36:17.660 You know, I listen.

01:36:19.500 I'm an appreciator.

01:36:20.440 I genuinely don't think of Rome every day.

01:36:22.460 I don't.

01:36:23.320 So, there you go.

01:36:24.060 It's crushing me.

01:36:24.840 It's crushing me.

01:36:25.460 But it's not.

01:36:26.200 It's not.

01:36:26.520 It's not.

01:36:27.020 I think of our border every day.

01:36:28.520 It's not.

01:36:28.800 It's not.

01:36:29.180 Straight up.

01:36:30.020 It is the dream that was Rome.

01:36:32.540 Right, Charlie?

01:36:33.520 It's about the dream that was Rome.

01:36:35.320 Yeah.

01:36:35.400 Well, especially.

01:36:36.340 In a wisdom.

01:36:37.240 Yeah.

01:36:37.620 Especially the Republican style of government.

01:36:40.520 Now, here's the deeper cut.

01:36:41.880 How often do any of you think of the Byzantine Empire?

01:36:44.920 That's like Rome the sequel.

01:36:47.540 Increasingly much.

01:36:48.640 Increasingly much.

01:36:49.340 I think about it almost as much as Rome.

01:36:51.720 Constantinople.

01:36:52.300 Hashtag land back.

01:36:53.460 Again, this goes to show macro versus macro.

01:36:55.760 Women are not thinking about ancient civilizations because that's very macro. 1.00

01:36:59.080 I genuinely think of things like the southern border every day.

01:37:05.680 That's macro.

01:37:06.280 And like, you know, it matters, you know.

01:37:08.080 And women think about grocery shopping. 1.00

01:37:09.720 The desire to restore the Roman Empire did probably destroy Russia.

01:37:13.200 And that's probably why we have the Ukraine war right now.

01:37:15.680 Cause set in motion.

01:37:16.600 All right, everybody.
