Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to this week's edition of Thought Crime.
00:00:04.160
Today, myself, Charlie Kirk, and the gang discuss Fannie Willis.
00:00:09.040
What can I say? We're going to get into it next.
00:00:14.780
How glee was the plagueship of wokeness and identity politics
00:00:19.320
and groceries in Russia versus groceries in the United States.
00:00:28.260
So get ready for this week's installment of Thought Crime.
00:00:36.460
DNSSE specifically targets the communications of everyone.
00:00:52.100
If there was ever a day that was made for this program,
00:00:56.000
it is today, February 15th, Year of Our Lord, 2024.
00:01:06.940
And Jack Posobiec, who's on Lent, and he gave up being cruel for Lent.
00:01:12.060
I gave up being cruel to people, so I have to be nice to everyone online for 40 days until Easter Sunday.
00:01:21.980
And so this, of course, includes all podcasts, all on-air content.
00:01:27.760
So that includes anyone we talk about, all the co-hosts.
00:01:34.940
Tyler said one of the funniest things in the chat.
00:01:43.440
This is not the topic for today, but it is an interesting thing.
00:01:47.920
It's been this nonstop connective thread from February of 2020 until today.
00:01:53.580
It's like the old, I remember the joke where it's like, I've been alive for four decades.
00:01:57.280
You know, the 90s, the zeros, the tens, and March.
00:02:06.000
So, in this next chapter in Saga, I feel as if this is, you know, what, season 28 of Donald Trump being the luckiest man alive.
00:02:17.460
No, it is season 28 of just, if I were to make it the Netflix special, just called The Lucky Man.
00:02:23.720
Right, it's just a picture with him, a thumbs up, and a MAGA hat, because this is one of the more lucky developments in the history of the civilization.
00:02:30.980
I feel like Donald Trump personally disproves the, like, the concept of entropy, you know, that physics thing.
00:02:36.580
You know, the world advances towards greater simplicity, because Donald Trump completely defies all of that.
00:02:41.780
So, Blake, for those of the uninitiated that haven't turned on their television all day, what happened in Fulton County?
00:02:46.780
Yeah, so, you know, I assume those people must have given up TV for Lent or something.
00:02:50.780
I don't know why they're watching this show, if so.
00:02:52.500
But, so, Fulton County, the left staked a lot of hopes on this one.
00:02:58.200
It was the one, I feel like they got the most personal satisfaction from it.
00:03:03.240
Yeah, they really liked the idea that Fulton County, which symbolized the most shocking development of that evening, that Georgia was able to flip blue.
00:03:15.800
And then Trump complained about it, and then he was repudiated.
00:03:18.380
And now, now, Fannie Willis, the DA of Fulton County, where Atlanta is, was going to criminally charge Trump for his election interference of trying to call members of the state legislature.
00:03:30.800
It was literally criminalizing him that he called lawmakers and said that they should go to a special session.
00:03:36.740
I think part of the criminal indictment was that he encouraged people to tune into the television, I believe.
00:03:45.820
And so she's going to indict Trump for all these bad things they did.
00:03:50.160
And a million co-conspirators, there's 18 or 19 people involved.
00:03:54.200
And lo and behold, out of nowhere, we get this filing from one of Trump's co-defendants.
00:04:03.920
And this filing says, hey, you know, Fannie Willis, you've kind of done some bad stuff.
00:04:11.400
And it kind of seems like a Hail Mary, seems really wild.
00:04:14.060
Yeah, because for just to interject, people do these motions all the time.
00:04:23.420
And it seemed there wasn't a lot of proof in it initially.
00:04:28.320
Yeah, I was like, well, there's not, you know, they don't have the receipts in here.
00:04:31.380
This is a pretty aggressive allegation to make, but it's definitely, there's not proof in the filing.
00:04:46.600
And, you know, I hope I would say something about, you know, giving up porn for Lent or something,
00:04:51.740
because it was a very kind of pornographic display today.
00:04:56.060
And by the way, Nathan Wade was the one that was inviting.
00:05:00.380
He was the one that was inviting the sexual conversation.
00:05:03.240
You guys are just, you guys are trying to get me to do something right now.
00:05:10.380
And so it was at one point, the cross-examiner asked Nathan Wade, well, did you have a relationship?
00:05:17.400
And Nathan Wade said, do you mean did I have sexual intercourse with him?
00:05:22.680
And then we're getting into this idea of, well, it matters what the definition of is is.
00:05:34.780
In the manner of, did you ever have flesh touch with Miss Fanny's flesh?
00:05:55.340
For the record, this is one of the greatest pieces of tape in the history of politics.
00:06:44.680
i brought a lot of women to cabins was that fanny can i go to prison for this was that a woman with
00:06:51.000
a big fanny it's like yana's trying to take a free throw and it's like which which answer is
00:06:56.600
more jail like if he tells the truth no that's exactly right or if he lies and says no and
00:07:02.060
it was truly truly astonishing and just every layer of it like you know maybe they'll somehow
00:07:10.880
get away with it but it seems like they thought okay our best calculated strategy here is to say
00:07:16.200
yes we were in a relationship yes we spent time together yes we went on vacation together yes i
00:07:21.980
paid for it with my business card that goes to my firm which is being paid by the taxpayers of fulton
00:07:27.520
county but she reimbursed me and how did she reimburse me all in cash this is where it gets
00:07:33.240
really interesting right because it they they thought they could get away with a lie it's obvious
00:07:38.900
right they thought that they there was no reimbursement i mean it's just it's so obvious
00:07:43.040
so then they start drilling down well where'd you get the cash from and jack are you allowed to
00:07:50.320
contribute to this or are you just are you just a bystander at this point i look i mean no i can i
00:07:55.460
can comment on whether or not it was good testimony right like like just because just because i have to
00:08:00.400
be like just because i can't be mean about it i can certainly give analysis right and and the
00:08:07.020
analysis no i can make this all right i can do this i can do this i can do this it this testimony
00:08:12.680
was not good this was definitely not the type of testimony that you would expect from people who are
00:08:22.480
um not only currently like like prosecutors of people that are prosecuting and not just like take
00:08:30.040
trump out of it right just just prosecuting any criminal at all these are not the people that you
00:08:35.080
want to have that power in your society because as you say they're they don't seem like and and
00:08:41.520
wade and we haven't even gotten to to willis's testimony yet but it just doesn't seem like they
00:08:45.120
prepared it doesn't seem like they asked they uh you know went over any of the possible questions
00:08:50.020
that they would be asked it doesn't feel like they read the brief or even uh blake to your point
00:08:54.520
doesn't feel like they read any of the accusations that came out of mike roman's testimony the great
00:08:59.240
mike roman or by the way this it's like and by this guy this guy wade is being divorced right now
00:09:04.420
and so a lot of this is actually a function of the divorce hearings because as you say the the
00:09:09.180
receipts weren't in roman's testimony but then like two days later the i mean we're we're in like very
00:09:15.080
much i can't say it a reality show scenario let's just say of fulton county and um and so the divorce
00:09:25.600
court is where we get those receipts and so it's like has this guy even been paying attention to the
00:09:31.020
i i question whether he has been paying attention to the proceedings to which he is a party
00:09:39.240
i had the thought earlier it it is just truly stupendous that they have built up this massive
00:09:48.360
monolith she was supposed to be the one yeah they had the headline we showed the headline
00:09:52.460
miss magazine this is they're like it's so fitting that she's going to lead the charge and then
00:09:58.220
it specifically is blowing up because of her not even it incidentally is failing but she's doing it
00:10:04.920
she screwed it up and in such a comical way like just the most oh we got a free piggy bank from the
00:10:11.860
taxpayers oh i'll just i'll hire my boyfriend and we can give him all of this money and he can bill
00:10:16.600
24 hours a day why not we'll just bill 24 hours a day and you know money everywhere and then we're
00:10:23.500
going to fly to belize and we're going to go to that tattoo parlor and we're going to go to that
00:10:32.240
recently retired and i decided to take my mother on a cruise okay um and the second leg after the cruise
00:10:44.940
concluded um d.a willis and i went to aruba so that was all one one trip if you will okay
00:10:55.720
now we would play the beach boys song but we're not allowed to all right we can like sing it
00:11:02.100
bermuda bahama oh my i thought we can play it if we comment on it i don't know that the rules are
00:11:09.620
whatever haters gonna hate man are the beach boys still there i think they're still alive
00:11:13.640
didn't their copyright expire by now sadly i think i think all copyrights are active while the original
00:11:18.920
creator is alive and there are allegedly still beast beast boys uh beach boys who are alive we
00:11:25.820
like the beach boys a lot of those guys are still conservative i think so so where is this going to
00:11:30.540
end i mean and by the way cnn is doing their best they say this on the front page of cnn they say
00:11:35.100
highlights from fanny willis's fiery testimony fiery it was mostly peaceful i mean it was fiery
00:11:40.600
in the sense that this project they built up is burning down very quickly oh by the way if you dare
00:11:46.880
criticize fanny willis having tons of cash at home you're a racist what's like play cut 133
00:11:53.380
i thought her portrayal of why it is that she pays for things in cash and has lots of cash on hand
00:12:00.700
was very compelling basically it was a life lesson she learned from her father and then sort of joked
00:12:06.040
about the way that she was raised by that old black man as she referred to yeah basically it's black
00:12:12.360
culture is what fanny willis's defense is it's like so depressing and she did that in the msnbc is
00:12:19.380
just buying that and she did the you know she stood up in that church uh and said you know these people
00:12:24.460
attacking me i think she was still denying the relationship she was either denying it or that
00:12:27.600
was when she admitted it but she said you know all the attacks were were based on race there and
00:12:33.020
of course that's part of what's so upsetting about this is you do your personal bad behavior and you're
00:12:39.080
just going to drag everyone in your culture with you down with it it's disgusting to do that
00:12:44.020
michael vick's that uh that was michael vick's defense with the dog fighting yeah was it with that he
00:12:50.160
had a bunch of cash around the house to go pay people for pitbulls you don't remember this no his his
00:12:56.100
defense for michael vick's defense for dog fighting was that this is part of black culture
00:13:01.600
and he was like and it was just strange because he was the one saying that it was uh that that he
00:13:09.820
was the one trying to racialize it when it clearly was something that he had been uh you know obviously
00:13:14.320
um criticized by a lot of other teammates who also happen to be black so it was like
00:13:19.960
no why are you trying to play the race card to get out of your own bad behavior that's all i'm saying
00:13:24.940
let's play um fanny by the way there's a little disagreement of when the relationship ended
00:13:30.360
is it still ongoing play cut 124 let's have a yes about a personal relationship yes when the
00:13:36.460
romantic relationship ended that's the question it's sometime in um i'd say late summer of 2023
00:13:44.240
three so i don't believe me and um because this is what you're really asking about this is the
00:13:48.820
salaciousness of all of this right i'm just asking about your romantic relationship when you stop dating
00:13:57.260
so he's a man he probably would say june or july i would say we had a tough conversation in office
00:14:07.140
wait hold on did she say because he's a man is that what she said she said because he's a man
00:14:14.480
he's a man she defended his his he's virile he she she defended his manhood many times but then
00:14:25.200
called out his manhood for do we cut in the relationship early do we have the clip the the
00:14:31.760
we broke bread do we have that clip that's that one's going really viral let's let's play uh let's
00:14:37.120
play cut 118 we'll get that one okay as of may the the 30th 2023 you have done a lot or you had
00:14:45.860
done a lot of entertaining of miss willis had you not i had done some yes and in fact under your
00:14:52.740
testimony um you would have said that she had also entertained you isn't that correct yes she's not
00:15:00.620
she's not uh your spouse at that time or any time correct that's correct she's not related to you
00:15:06.360
by blood or marriage correct that's correct but she entertained her right yes
00:15:11.860
totally believable entertained no i i see no reason to question this you know they've entertained us
00:15:21.320
no i mean this has been quite entertaining for all of us sorry continue blake i just
00:15:27.480
i think what stands out you said cnn's trying to cover for it as desperately i think this really
00:15:34.420
actually captures the difference between two popular punching bags which is we have cnn and we
00:15:38.900
have msnbc and msnbc is sort of more left-wing than cnn but they're also more honest than cnn
00:15:45.940
and so they actually were having a meltdown during they were having a meltdown during the day they're
00:15:51.520
like she seems to have lied and if she lied this is over and then but cnn is is the more anti-trump
00:15:57.580
network they're very they're also more delusional they're more delusional and they do the more insane
00:16:02.240
stuff you know they're the ones who have uh they hate trump so much that they'll have a guy on and
00:16:07.640
he'll call don lemon the n-word on air and stuff to prove that trump is bad it's really bizarre msnbc
00:16:13.360
doesn't go quite as insane let's see where's the oh there's so many clips here all right this is this is
00:16:17.960
this is 117 msnbc they're beginning the eulogy play cut 117 legalistic centric and yet so important
00:16:27.380
and fascinating right don't let the legalese fool you this is epic this is monumental if things are
00:16:33.480
going in the direction we think uh fannie willis lied to the court it's game over for her she will
00:16:40.200
be disqualified um if they had a relationship prior to when they uh represented to to the court it's it's
00:16:46.440
a huge deal like i can't overstate it yeah so without getting too deep into this jack you could
00:16:51.980
look at the basically she's already dead to rights based on just the timeline forget the cash and
00:16:58.460
forget the cabins and forget aruba and forget belize and forget jamaica just the fact that they
00:17:03.720
have perjured themselves based on the relationship window that sign sealed and delivered all the rest
00:17:08.820
is basically entertainment and icing on the cake is that correct jack that's exactly right so the
00:17:14.400
there's lots of viral clips there's lots of memes that are coming out of this that of course i have
00:17:19.780
been receiving and yet will not be sharing um because again i at 40 days i will be nice um so
00:17:26.360
the real meat and potatoes of this though is the fact that she lied to the court in not in this hearing
00:17:32.200
but in a previous filing when she stated there was no relationship prior to his hire at the full
00:17:39.060
using her power as the fulton county da so essentially when she brought him on for this
00:17:44.020
trump case she said there was no relationship prior to this and now we have documentary evidence
00:17:49.680
that there was a relationship prior and i think everyone kind of is suspected that anyway let's uh
00:17:54.080
the ex-wife you can continue let's put number 99 on screen while he's yes keep going jack put that up
00:18:00.120
yep keep going jack okay yeah so so right so she and this this is this is i believe the um the actual
00:18:07.780
uh questionnaire from earlier but she just she lied to court so when you when you make a direct lie
00:18:14.240
to the judge like this that there was no relationship then that's it uh no household expenses no
00:18:20.780
cohabitating and this and charlie to your point this is why um there were so much there was so much
00:18:28.080
quibbling and so much consternation about well and and if people had watched the the um i i gotta say
00:18:33.800
i was in and out of this hearing because i was doing other stuff today because i have like a you
00:18:37.120
know this like a life outside of this but um and it went on for quite some time and there was a lot
00:18:44.260
of back and forth over what does the phrase cohabitating live what does or mean what does the phrase um
00:18:50.980
stay well he was staying with me well how long is staying how long do you have to stay with someone
00:18:55.640
so that to be cohabitating and just i mean you just lied it just straight up lied to the court
00:19:00.120
and and i don't think that any judge or any you know fancy word games are going to wake their way
00:19:06.320
out of it you you can't trick your way past the judge that you know you like and i will say just
00:19:10.580
and i i watched probably one tenth of this what i saw from the judge is the judge was actually
00:19:16.020
sympathetic to the cross examiners there was one moment where the cross examiner used imprecise
00:19:20.800
language that was obviously a little bit you know let's just say uh more colorful he used the
00:19:26.400
word scamper he's like oh did you go down and scamper to the atm the judge allowed it and like
00:19:32.100
that's unusual right like usually the judge is like nope rephrase you know did you go down to the and
00:19:36.520
the judge was continually very sympathetic to this line of questioning i think it helps that they're
00:19:42.500
only speaking to the judge in the first place and this isn't a jury trial yet it's just a hearing the
00:19:47.380
judge will have to decide on himself so i i mean i i believe i mean do we want to make a prediction
00:19:52.860
on this i mean the judge does not seem as if sometimes a judge will do a motion like this
00:19:57.740
and he could have just cut it off like i've heard enough she's fine he let this thing really bleed i
00:20:03.300
mean i almost as if he's setting the table to justify his dismissal of the prosecution
00:20:10.700
again if they dismiss fanny it doesn't mean the prosecution is over it's enormously damaging to
00:20:17.840
its credibility but they could transfer the case to another da's office they could just
00:20:24.120
re-domicile it to a neighboring county or you know bring in a special counsel other than that takes a
00:20:28.640
lot of non-boyfriend right they have to it would basically delay this past the election almost
00:20:33.460
certainly yeah and they have to get caught up to speed right and not to mention all the other
00:20:37.080
counties are not going to be as judicious and you need to you'd quite plausibly need to flush
00:20:45.220
the entire staff so they'd need months just to get up to speed on the evidence this would allow
00:20:51.320
them to challenge that it should be dropped because of all these improprieties it would
00:20:54.720
muck the case let me ask you a question for someone who has already pled guilty like jenna ellis
00:20:59.180
is she able to reconsider that guilty plea if the prosecutor's taken off the case
00:21:02.840
truthfully i don't know jack do you have any idea it would it would depend on the specifics of the
00:21:08.540
deal um it not it's it's not impossible but again it would it would have to go you know was that
00:21:16.120
written into the deal was that something that was agreed to was that something that you know a good
00:21:20.960
lawyer by the way would have put in some clauses like that for example um or be able to find a way
00:21:26.180
to to get around it but it's it's going to be tough right it's going to be tough and and it wasn't
00:21:30.340
just her but there were other people who took plea deal as well so i i just and and i i'll be like
00:21:34.720
charlie of course none of this should have been brought in the first place no it's outrage this
00:21:38.340
was obviously corrupt and i think that their their pre-existing relationship and i've tweeted this
00:21:42.960
and i said and and again just because i said i can't be mean doesn't mean i can't be truthful i
00:21:47.300
will be truthful and it seems to me that this entire case was brought because she was looking at a
00:21:53.040
way to get her own piggy bank out of this that she would be able to charge the more people she
00:21:58.460
charged the more money she would be able to requisition make special allocations from the
00:22:02.520
state government which by the way if you go back to mike roman's original uh allegations on this that
00:22:06.900
there was there was a pot of covid money which by the way would be federal funds so chris ray um where
00:22:12.280
where you at buddy um that the more people she charged the bigger pot of money there would be and
00:22:18.400
potentially it sounds like the bigger kickback she would be able to receive from it that's what i get
00:22:23.360
out of this hearing so the the i just want to say i have a soft spot and there was a lot of people
00:22:29.440
attacking those that pled guilty already i have a soft spot for people that don't have a lot of money
00:22:33.300
and they're up against these prosecutors and i just i just don't like it i i do hope that there's an
00:22:39.600
opportunity for some of these people to get out of these plea deals yeah and it's it's so glaring that
00:22:45.680
will our entire system does rely upon essentially imposing a calculation on people of should i
00:22:53.080
plead guilty even if i truthfully believe i am innocent no this was sick yeah the factoring
00:22:58.780
in is not the innocence the factoring in is you know i'll get community service versus 10 years in
00:23:05.080
jail the penalty the cost of the trial itself and this is the reason why uh her entire office has to
00:23:11.520
be disqualified right yeah this is why the the message to conservatives everybody's watching this
00:23:16.680
to go well what can i do what can i say i was talking to josh mccune who's the chairman of the
00:23:21.120
georgia today really great he was texting me and took time out of his day to to message me and ask
00:23:25.960
for help actually so this was the this is the message is that her entire office should be and
00:23:31.200
needs to be disqualified because if her entire office is not then there certainly is no way for
00:23:37.320
those people to reverse out of those plea deals right and so i don't know all the ins and outs and
00:23:43.480
somebody that's a much more in tune and somebody has a jd could probably actually tell us but
00:23:48.120
my understanding would be is probably if they threw the whole thing out transferred it to a
00:23:52.580
different county then that would start the whole process over again yeah and so and so that and
00:23:57.800
even that county would have to relook at everybody who's even if the crime didn't commit in their
00:24:02.920
county they would wouldn't there be jurisdictional issues well that's the point is because she has
00:24:08.400
cost herself a problem here then another county would have to take over but the other county can make
00:24:16.380
the decision to just drop the charges right thing which now that that's not the way they wanted this
00:24:22.440
whole thing to go obviously they wanted this to be a full and for a reason yeah because full is their
00:24:26.640
only hope and the state of georgia that they this ever would ever have legs and that's their problem
00:24:31.860
in arizona is you know is maricopa county going to do this you know to people in maricopa county
00:24:37.360
probably not uh you know they weren't even willing to do it in wisconsin so they came up with like a
00:24:43.580
broker deal uh you've got the state uh going after people in michigan but a lot of these counties
00:24:50.400
don't want to get involved yeah and so this was their only this was their you want to talk about
00:24:55.020
that the hail mary this was their hail mary but we need to make sure as conservatives that we're
00:24:59.740
putting the pressure on saying that you know this has to this has to be released her whole office
00:25:04.420
has to be removed from this what we have next is we have an interesting story out of the state of
00:25:11.100
idaho oh this is a good one yes and so we just saw this in the discussion we thought it'd be fun
00:25:16.360
to talk about so uh the idaho house has just approved house bill 515 hasn't become law yet but
00:25:23.200
it's advancing and what the bill would do is it would impose the death penalty as a potential penalty
00:25:31.120
in cases of lewd conduct with children under the age of 12 with aggravating circumstances so
00:25:37.080
aggravated child sexual abuse could be a capital offense in the state of idaho if they pass this
00:25:43.020
now for the time being this would not be constitutional because the supreme court in a
00:25:50.100
past more liberal time they uh banned that i think louisiana had that in its laws but new supreme court
00:25:56.960
take another shot at it and so the discussion would be do we support this number one and two do we support
00:26:03.100
it for anything else 100 i mean now i want to be clear my death penalty views have changed over the
00:26:07.920
years the only reason i'm hesitant on on the death penalty the only reason and is that sometimes we
00:26:14.720
execute people that were truly innocent it's not as many as you might think it's probably 40 or 50
00:26:19.380
right there's the innocence project that's a real thing number two not is it exists jack it exists we
00:26:26.480
have killed people that have been exonerated later but it's not as much as they make it seem but
00:26:30.320
it's real is it an op what is it a kim kardashian op we have very sure killed people big partner of
00:26:37.540
the innocence project i know i'm not saying i'm a fan of it but if you objectively look into some of
00:26:41.840
the case files it's legit we have wrongfully executed people before yeah dna evidence has
00:26:46.720
proven that like exactly yes and and other witnesses that have come out actually i did it here's my dna so
00:26:51.260
that's something we have to deal with okay i just want to say that number i however as a bible
00:26:57.480
believing christian i have no i cannot possibly morally disagree with the death penalty the
00:27:04.060
catholic church does and i think they're totally wrong it is a law in all five books of the torah
00:27:09.380
genesis exodus leviticus numbers and deuteronomy and i've moved on it i've changed on this and i think
00:27:15.640
that if you take a life your life should be taken and i think if you are a pedophile it's the same as
00:27:20.860
taking a life you take the innocence of a child i think your life should be taken i would say if i
00:27:27.080
have a concern it is probably that specifically child sexual abuse is a crime that we have such a
00:27:34.660
moral revulsion to that this will sound weird but we do stuff now like we just go back and we
00:27:44.240
accuse some of stuff that happened 20 years ago and people get convicted of this and many of them
00:27:49.400
probably are guilty but i would worry about us having a death penalty offense where someone
00:27:54.840
could come forward and say this person sexually abused me 20 years ago 30 years ago and there's
00:28:01.040
no meaningful way to defend yourself roman polanski if he came back to america should he get the death
00:28:07.380
penalty if he was guilty i think his guilt is pretty well okay so we agree i mean but that was 40 years
00:28:12.620
ago yeah so the time doesn't mean anything true i think i would that is something where i'd probably make
00:28:17.680
a concession okay maybe we shouldn't allow it just so everyone knows the roman polanski also he has
00:28:21.680
been convicted hasn't he he just fled yeah before penalty i think no i think you might be right he's
00:28:26.580
just in france and they don't extradite their own citizens got on a plane and left but he raped like
00:28:31.240
a 16 year old or something i think she was younger than that oh is that right she was 13 it was pretty
00:28:35.700
young okay i don't but anyway that he's so let me ask you a question if somebody theoretically i don't
00:28:41.300
want to get sued if it came out that uh woody allen was a pedophile uh theoretically there's you
00:28:51.180
know no evidence of that why we pick him specifically we could pick anyone if it came out that because
00:28:57.160
there was a movie about that's true that's true he played a pedophile in the movie if you see i didn't
00:29:02.400
see this movie if you've seen annie hall it's oh you know it's not not it's a little bit on the edge
00:29:07.480
right the only thing i know is that movie got best picture instead of star wars and
00:29:11.400
nerds are still mad about it to this day yeah so anyway the it's a angela said it's a biopic in
00:29:18.480
retrospect yeah and by the way i'm just i'm just saying theoretically i don't know if that's the
00:29:24.340
case why should the time matter blake it's not so much that the time matters it's sort of my version
00:29:30.540
of your concern with the innocent it's that it is a crime that we are hypersensitive to
00:29:37.080
and i think it is one that is prone to moral frenzies over it uh there was a case i can't
00:29:43.380
remember the name of the person involved but it was uh one of the catholic sex abuse cases it was in
00:29:49.260
pennsylvania and it was a priest and there were really lurid allegations relating to it and we
00:29:56.440
talked about this in the show before didn't we i've talked about it with you for sure i don't know
00:30:00.500
if we've done it on here i could even i could have sworn it was on here yeah i know i know exactly
00:30:04.940
where you're going with this um let me see if i can get it on screen um uh newsweek did a great
00:30:11.060
piece yes newsweek yes so actually you guys can bring it up on screen now this is an article in
00:30:15.700
newsweek magazine i encourage people to look it up themselves it came out in 2016 it's called
00:30:20.360
catholic guilt the lying scheming altar boy behind a lurid rape case so without getting into too much
00:30:26.160
graphic detail a former altar boy accused several priests of very graphically abusing him it was
00:30:32.460
bizarre stuff it was like they would make him get drunk on communion wine and then they would rape
00:30:37.120
him you know immediately before or after a mass just totally wild stuff and they offered a plea deal
00:30:45.020
to the priest at the center of this where they said you know if he pleaded he was very old if you plead
00:30:49.160
guilty you won't get prison time and he refused it saying i am innocent and i will never confess to a
00:30:55.920
crime i did not commit so he is convicted goes to prison gets a treatable heart condition
00:31:01.120
which they refuse to allow him to get treated because he is imprisoned and dies of this and
00:31:07.140
they also paid the boy in this case 20 million dollars some huge settlement and that is still
00:31:13.920
a law as far as it is that man died a convict i don't think he's ever been uh cleared posthumously
00:31:18.620
otherwise the uh accuser lives in florida i believe got very rich off of this and what this article makes
00:31:25.160
i encourage people to read it in very strong detail it's a very very very long article
00:31:29.460
is that this was obviously and spectacularly made up this man the accuser had a history
00:31:35.540
had a criminal history had a history of fabrications and lying and it seems extremely clear that he took
00:31:42.320
advantage of a moral frenzy made of wild allegations and people were just willing to endorse those so are
00:31:47.700
we talking about remember go ahead jack please i know i was just gonna say one of one of the big
00:31:51.900
issues blake and um i haven't you know read the article recently but it was something about like
00:31:57.000
the he made a lot of very specific allegations early on and then later when they went to you know
00:32:04.280
and really just horrific stuff and then when they went to actually check and like get him to um you
00:32:11.560
know the second round of questioning all of the allegations started changing wasn't something like
00:32:15.900
that yeah and that's they'll do this where you'll have these shrinks who will come out and they'll say
00:32:20.820
well actually the contradictions in their story make it more likely that it's true charlie they'll say
00:32:25.640
that stuff they would do that during me too you'll remember so i'm just i want to make sure i
00:32:28.460
understand so in the idaho bill you might not know is this uh child rape is this child sexual
00:32:34.480
assault is this online pedophilic behavior because there's gradations to the evil conduct with a
00:32:41.200
child so i think that wouldn't be child pornography does that involve molestation it would have to
00:32:45.340
be an action with a specific child and with aggravating circumstances and it's under the age of 12 so
00:32:52.640
this isn't even statutory i have no moral problem with with death penalty yeah you agree tyler yeah i
00:32:58.620
have with based on that criteria i have no moral issue for practical purposes i would say i agree i
00:33:04.960
have no problem but the problem is you know guilt we're so what does genesis teach us about that
00:33:09.380
uh well about uh the child uh dealing with children nothing necessarily specifically um but it does i mean
00:33:17.140
yeah i mean it's a life for a life it's it's in it's in the no way a covenant it's very simple that
00:33:22.860
if you take life you have should have a life taken from you again it's it's in all five books genesis
00:33:27.440
exodus leviticus numbers deuteronomy i said something on the show that wasn't necessarily true i said it was
00:33:31.520
the only law repeated five times i think love your god obviously love god is all five times repeated but
00:33:36.540
it is repeated five times which is very unusual um in all the five books of the torah the main canon of
00:33:41.620
the old testament but all the numerologists right now or yeah but jack i want to ask you a question
00:33:46.920
as our resident catholic who's fasting for lent you can answer this honestly why are the catholics
00:33:52.620
and i have such respect for catholics you know that i'm this is not like some sort of trick
00:33:56.100
why are they so anti-death penalty where does that come from yeah well so there's there's there's a a
00:34:03.240
you know an urge i think to follow them the the words of pope francis as you know as as
00:34:09.740
basically covering all catholics and and it's just not true right so there's a huge split within the
00:34:15.020
catholic church hold on this is dogma before francis just so we're clear yeah so not dogma because prior
00:34:21.980
to no it's not because prior to francis you even even as recently as pope pius uh where it was very
00:34:28.700
clear on the death penalty was saying that the death penalty exists uh not as um essentially not as a
00:34:36.400
a revenge on the person but because and not as the deprivation of life but because the right to
00:34:41.560
life has been uh has been lost by the person who took life in the first place and you have so you
00:34:46.140
have popes very recently before francis coming out and saying that there's just full-throated 100
00:34:52.180
percent support for again as as we are you know you know caveating valid cases of using the death
00:34:58.680
penalty uh and so this really has been a huge shift that francis had made no other popes as you say
00:35:04.360
prior to francis had made some statements in that direction but this has been a huge change
00:35:09.740
by pope francis to be pushing this major anti-death penalty status and so you will really find a lot
00:35:15.380
of catholics myself included uh that are on both sides of that issue because there's been this huge
00:35:19.760
uh this huge shift and obviously by the way you know you know i don't think there's anyone who
00:35:24.720
could say that if you look at church history that oh yeah the catholic church was always against the
00:35:28.400
death penalty well no there's a little bit of different history on that so i actually i kind of fell for
00:35:33.860
the up i thought it was dogma because of how widespread the belief is now blake a lot of
00:35:39.420
major bishops are anti-death penalty it's within kind of catholic culture but it's not dogma like
00:35:45.420
abortion is dogma is that correct even abortion i think abortion is dogma though probably i just want
00:35:52.460
to be careful with you i think you're referring to canon law you'll hear dogma used a lot more in
00:35:56.640
description for like beliefs kind of spiritual sanctity of life though is like an immovable
00:36:02.900
tenant you'll usually hear dogma mentioned like the immaculate conception is a dogma of the catholic
00:36:08.400
church catholics have to believe god yes and so i just i don't want to be incorrect in the use of
00:36:14.780
the word dogma it is certainly a doctrine of the church it has been a long time teaching of the church
00:36:19.160
uh like sanctity of life for example right the death penalty is now a doctrine of the church but it is
00:36:24.580
much more recent but it's not a it hasn't reached dogma right what i would say is the catechism of
00:36:30.040
the church right now teaches that the death penalty is unacceptable and you are supposed to believe the
00:36:35.080
catechism of the catholic church but that's more than francis that's the whole gang that yes so is
00:36:40.220
that right for it is but francis is the one under whose pontificate that was upgraded did he do an
00:36:45.420
encyclical for this or john paul ii for example he said the encyclical was john paul ii and this was
00:36:52.320
um gospel but again as as you say the encyclical is so that you know kind of using that pro-life
00:36:57.820
language to to say that that you know we we protect the the innocent rights of the unborn as well as
00:37:06.140
all life and so it's sort of it's sort of eroding that past support for the death penalty which as i
00:37:12.900
again is is very recent in church history and clearly if you look at the 2000 years of catholic church
00:37:19.280
history um has uh much longer standing than the current uh the current um reading yeah so john paul
00:37:28.240
ii he disliked the death penalty he wrote things saying it was bad you know not desirable uh benedict
00:37:36.400
the 16th his successor he called for abolishing the death penalty which is entirely within his right to do
00:37:42.060
so and pope francis started with that and then he has upgraded it to essentially saying a good catholic
00:37:49.140
should not support the death penalty and bluntly 2018 i think not this is not new i think this is a
00:37:56.660
mistaken development of the church and given that he's also been saying stuff about blessing gay
00:38:02.560
unions and such totally off the reservation it is very and and defrocking amazing catholic priests
00:38:08.960
right i mean he's just going all over i don't want to get too deep into the father pavone thing i don't
00:38:13.680
know there was another one he defrocked he defrocked some guy in tyler texas too right jack so this is
00:38:19.080
this is bishop strickland he was not defrocked he was just uh he was removed from his position as the
00:38:24.220
bishop of tyler texas so he is still a bishop defrocked means you're a layman you are not a priest
00:38:30.420
you're laicized yeah yeah being laicized is big it's really so what i what i will say even if those
00:38:35.500
of you that are in the audience against the death penalty what i don't understand is committing
00:38:40.200
your life to advocacy for people that have done really bad things and not giving a darn about
00:38:47.360
people in the womb that have done nothing that are completely innocent that's the moral equivalency
00:38:52.480
i've never understand people say well how can you be against the death penalty but also i mean in
00:38:58.140
favor death penalty but also in against abortion i always found that weird and people use it like it
00:39:02.420
was a strong argument i think it's one of the worst arguments because the baby has done nothing
00:39:07.280
deep down i think a lot of liberals uh see themselves in every vicious like murderer who
00:39:12.980
has been sentenced to death and so they they sympathize with them quite openly so that's why
00:39:17.580
would they not support them yeah it's dark but see i don't see myself i don't exactly in these
00:39:23.020
murderers and the idea that it's always just very difficult for me to imagine having having too much
00:39:32.760
sympathy for anyone where you could have done literally anything with your entire life and you
00:39:37.400
chose to wantonly kill someone pray on anyone you know destroy a child's life and so you know that
00:39:45.580
could be a follow-up to this which is is there anything else you would support the death penalty for
00:39:49.860
and yes you know a lot of really predatory defrauding thousands of people out of their life savings
00:39:55.960
yeah defraud mass fraud which china executes people for this you know if you engage in severe
00:40:01.740
fraud or severe government misconduct of some egregious corruption that and then also even just
00:40:10.040
something like are really depraved forms of armed robbery or assault if you could do anything with your
00:40:16.260
life and you like there's people in cities who do carjackings and then you know they shoot someone or
00:40:22.320
those guys who were driving that car in vegas and they killed that cyclist by running over i think
00:40:27.520
they should get the death penalty even if that man had lived i think you could credibly say they would
00:40:31.660
deserve the death penalty yeah no in the strict biblical context blood must be spilled for blood
00:40:36.000
it in just if you talk in justice terms that if a life is taken there must be a life taken
00:40:42.680
period end of story that you just can't just roll your eyes and say everything's just fine
00:40:48.160
you want to read pope pious here jack yeah because it's i think and and again this is the
00:40:53.520
the head of the church this is the pope in 1952 and he's he says so eloquently it's it's the most
00:40:59.060
eloquent quote i can find some summarizing basically what we're saying about the difference between
00:41:03.500
these these two types of individuals that we encounter in our societies uh the innocence of a child
00:41:09.380
which obviously is what pedophilia uh defiles right it defiles the innocence of a child so directly
00:41:16.460
connected to this uh versus a hardened murderer and here's pope pius the 12th and this is 1952
00:41:22.440
when it is a question of the execution of a condemned man the state does not dispose of the
00:41:28.680
individual's right to life in this case it is reserved to the public power to deprive the condemned
00:41:35.240
person of the enjoyment of life in expiation of his crime when by his crime he has already disposed
00:41:43.780
himself of his right to life any final thoughts before we get to the next topic
00:41:49.600
not really tyler do you want to chime in on this what what is the like uh i'm not like uh you know
00:41:57.660
super passionate either either way about the death penalty itself i'm like uh you know i think i i agree
00:42:03.980
with the sentiment that we're talking about i think you have to have caution there's there's reason to
00:42:08.160
kill people and there's reason to be careful about killing people and so i think that that's like
00:42:13.160
that's the happy i feel really good about the political context of the idaho thing i think we
00:42:18.720
should have a couple i've always been a big believer like you need a couple ron paul's in congress
00:42:22.580
we need a couple of really crazy states in the in these you know united states yes to be like we're
00:42:29.420
going to do some really crazy stuff and that's going to balance out it's like we should be negotiating
00:42:35.720
from as extreme as possible idaho is so deep red we need them to do stuff like this so then maybe uh
00:42:42.660
we'll take amma we'll take pedophilia more seriously and here's the thing in california and arizona and
00:42:48.440
everywhere else because we have the left the radical left is trying to normalize pedophilia so it's okay
00:42:54.020
it's to normalize killing people for pedophilia and he said no you know russia doesn't have it by the
00:42:58.540
way russia does not have death penalty oh really a lot very few places do and what's funny is
00:43:04.240
america people to work out america is a more democratic it proves how america is a more
00:43:08.660
democratic country because if you poll on it the death penalty is popular for murder it is in almost
00:43:14.500
every country and yet in europe no one has the death penalty almost no one does even though a lot
00:43:18.940
of them would vote for it elites just say nope we're not doing it and you know what they don't
00:43:24.400
have pedophiles it is a deterrent and i'll prove it to you not a study or an it's very simple
00:43:30.360
if a society said you will get the death penalty for robbery on every day but thursday what day
00:43:38.420
would the robberies occur i rest oh friday of course the people that there'll still be people
00:43:45.640
too wait so there's but then they'll be killed and then you then eventually behavioral patterns will
00:43:51.240
be learned so russia got rid of it nathan wade would try to say that uh well it was it was 1159
00:43:58.780
your honor and no and i as far as other death penalties i think what uh some of those guys did
00:44:04.740
to donald trump to use the instruments of government to destroy the constitutional order
00:44:08.800
that that should be under consideration okay let's talk about this uh news headlines in recent weeks
00:44:14.160
report that mark zuckerberg who made his big tech billions by collecting data on your interactions is
00:44:19.960
building an apocalypse shelter and while that is unsettling and eerie in of itself joe biden gets
00:44:24.540
involved too and we all need to start paying attention it's never a good sign when a
00:44:28.520
president starts doomsday prepping with a close to 90 of pharmaceuticals in the u.s produced outside
00:44:33.460
of the u.s what happens when the next global crisis strikes well we want to remind you about the
00:44:38.040
wellness company medical emergency kit it is incredible uh we i got roasted in my emails
00:44:42.780
because we did a whole antibiotic thing and then we promote antibiotics on here i want to be very clear
00:44:47.040
antibiotics have a role they are an amazing breakthrough but like all things you can overuse them
00:44:53.140
okay so someone was like charlie you're anti antibiotics i we never said that right okay but
00:45:00.020
if you want life-saving ivermectin which saved tyler's life uh it's eight life-saving potential
00:45:04.940
medications uh amoxicillin z-pack ivermectin so you can rest easy knowing that you have emergency meds
00:45:11.980
on hand along with a guidebook for safe use from tick tick bites to covid to extreme bioterror events
00:45:19.000
every scenario is covered go to twc.health slash cj i get asked all the time charlie how do i get
00:45:25.360
ivermectin charlie how do i get these meds well here's a way you could do it it's twc.health
00:45:30.220
slash cj it's code cj saves 10 at checkout don't wait until you need it take control um of your health
00:45:38.100
today with the wellness company's medical emergency kit kits are only available in the usa jack do you
00:45:42.700
want to riff on this for a second yeah um we were we were on travel um a couple of weeks ago and um
00:45:50.940
actually i think it was when we were in in vegas and you know we all got sick out we all got poisoned
00:45:56.800
i got some sort of weird bioterror thing no i remember i remember you like like when people are
00:46:03.240
saying oh charlie's you know you know not gonna be on the show or something i was like what doesn't
00:46:07.480
dude's a machine like it does not happen it's like it couldn't compute my mind i got this thing
00:46:12.380
tuned to like yeah it was like it would be like saying that like like there's no air outside or
00:46:19.220
something like what no it would it would be like cal ripkin jr not showing up you know to play for
00:46:23.900
the oreos yeah seriously right and it was yeah and so so when we got back though what was amazing for me
00:46:32.220
was that my first emergency medical kit from the wellness company was waiting for me right on the
00:46:38.740
doorstep we just you know just come in literally but i guess like the delivery truck just been there
00:46:42.880
right before i got back from the airport and i was like boom i just grabbed that thing and i snatched
00:46:48.320
it up in my hand and i opened it and i was like oh my gosh it's it's everything that i need and you
00:46:55.100
know take the you know the whole the whole bit of of what it is aside from you it is so hard in in
00:47:01.560
this day and age like you know we talk about oh we're a most advanced country we're obviously going
00:47:05.340
to be talking about that later segment but um it's it's such a pain to get basic medication in this
00:47:10.880
country because you have to go to urgent care and then you have to wait in the waiting line and then
00:47:15.200
you have to get checked and then you know or if you want to go to your pcp you've got to get an
00:47:19.440
appointment and then you got to go to cvs or walk or wherever it is and you got your christian no none of
00:47:24.160
that wellness company boom there it is you got it it's on the shelf for when you need it or in my
00:47:29.260
case it was waiting for me literally on my doorstep when i got home from the airport and now i know
00:47:35.880
that if i ever have a situation like that again or i ever i ever don't feel well boom i just go right
00:47:41.180
to it and it's there i've actually i've been talking to them about um getting some of the other
00:47:45.200
kits like because they have a uh they actually have a travel kit that's something that i want to get
00:47:49.440
and they've been great this has been really great okay it's twc.health slash cj jack
00:47:54.140
i totally agree and by the way it's just good to have on hand everybody uh don't abuse the
00:47:58.620
antibiotics talk to doctors get proper guidance so check it out twc.health slash cj i i just looked
00:48:04.600
this up charlie i didn't realize this jack the last time that in belora belarus uh they they use
00:48:12.780
capital punish uh execution here was in 2019 and it was by firearm yeah that's how you should by the
00:48:19.020
wait this is the other my other problem with death penalty takes too long too many appeals it should
00:48:22.700
be public it should be quick it should be televised well this can't be right can it the last execution
00:48:30.040
in france was guillotine in 1977 100 true they use the guillotine until 77 yeah that's so cool
00:48:36.820
there's videotape of it honestly that's like what we should be doing and i agree it should be public
00:48:41.520
and televised square by the way do you you could sell you could form the government to watch it
00:48:45.360
you could have like brought to you by coca-cola and no i'm not kidding by the way i would totally
00:48:50.780
tune in to see some pedo get their head chopped off convicted by a jury by the way that's gonna
00:48:56.100
no i'm talking about a real thing i'm talking i'm not talking all executions in belarus are by
00:49:00.340
firearm that's no choice or anything andrew's saying don't make kids watch it and i think no
00:49:04.440
the absolute i think at a certain age it's an initiation if you can drive you can hold on
00:49:08.860
if all of a sudden you look at some of these savages like in indiana there was this guy that went in
00:49:13.520
and killed a pregnant woman and her three kids yeah and you know what i want to watch that
00:49:17.600
execution that'll make my day better i want to see him on a public block and get him be publicly
00:49:23.240
executed and i think that would be justice you think children should have you should see it what
00:49:29.260
is the age that what age should you start to see public executions 16 i think i think you could do
00:49:35.380
it earlier i think you maybe at age 12 whenever sixth grade or so you are a person you know they're
00:49:40.620
old enough to you don't you don't need to like really wallow in it and have them be broken on
00:49:45.660
a wheel or anything but if it was something like chopping you know if we had a guillotine or
00:49:50.760
something i think it's i think it's the age where they can't be you know it's i think there's too
00:49:56.340
early and you become desensitized to maybe like this i think it's when you can actually embrace but
00:50:01.960
it should also be taken in a holy way meaning i don't mean holy in a bad way i mean that like this
00:50:06.520
is heavy like this is bluntly we have kids who are 14 who are committing carjackings in cities and
00:50:12.980
doing yes bad stuff and i think if you sent the message to them if you do a bad crime you will die
00:50:20.060
and it will be like this and that will be you just i think it would be a positive message my argument
00:50:24.800
would be younger people get involved with that because they're with around older people who do
00:50:29.600
those things i want you to imagine every day all of a sudden they said and today remember that awful
00:50:34.180
five you know the guy that went and shot up a school because you know left hates school shooters
00:50:38.260
and so do we and but they focus on the gun i think they're evil so you know you take one of these school
00:50:43.200
shooters and they say today we're going to publicly execute this person and they read off super bowl
00:50:47.600
no yeah or early yeah the shooters at the the super bowl thing and you read off what they did
00:50:52.460
great and you don't celebrate it you know you don't you just say look this is what they did
00:50:56.160
and if you do this this will be your fate ready set go boom end of life and say guillotine i just
00:51:02.900
used to be a whole tv show but this is this is a question for everyone here's a question for
00:51:08.680
anyone that might be you know not persuaded would crime go up or down it would go way down done so
00:51:15.100
that why is this even a question well they'll say it's not a they'll say it's not a deterrent and
00:51:20.240
it's not because of course it's a deterrent though and our current system is just as dumb as it could
00:51:25.040
possibly be you get a last meal no they should make you eat bran it's that i'm gonna it's only done for
00:51:30.780
a tiny minority of even murderers only a handful of murderers actually get it and then yes their
00:51:35.540
odds of getting executed are very low they and it happens 25 years later you have to run articles in
00:51:40.900
the newspaper to remind people why this bad person was on death row in the first place i'm gonna tell
00:51:45.420
you this is what's so frustrating about american culture i mean we took all the best parts of greek
00:51:50.300
culture roman culture and french culture and the revolution and everything else and we didn't keep
00:51:55.220
this part like we have the coliseums for sports but we don't have it for this i totally agree with
00:52:01.640
this sentiment is like we should we we shouldn't make it like a celebration no it should be a heavy
00:52:08.380
thing it should be a heavy thing it's it's corporal punishment by the way capital punishment by the way
00:52:14.220
well there is a difference between corporal punishment and capital punishment that's a totally separate
00:52:18.120
yeah conversation but but you know the singapore op too yeah that's what i was gonna say if we're gonna if
00:52:24.180
we're if you really want a question about look look if you were a criminal and you were convicted or
00:52:29.980
you know convicted and you're sentenced and but you're given a choice you're gonna say all right
00:52:33.960
20 years in jail or 20 lashes what are you taking yeah you're taking the lashes everyone's gonna take
00:52:42.320
the lashes and just so everyone is clear you know this might sound crazy to some people they oh my
00:52:47.820
goodness if you commit what we would call a heinous crime if you commit a crime against a human being
00:52:54.160
and take their life the current way that we do this is you get room and board and food for the
00:52:59.720
remainder has that made society safer lessened heinous crimes wouldn't it make sense to put the law
00:53:07.880
justice on display for other people to see what happens when you do these things
00:53:13.960
yeah i totally agree jacked on the lashing part too like the vlog yeah corporal cheaper too i think
00:53:20.400
that would be i think corporal punishment would be cheaper it would be faster and it would be a better
00:53:26.200
it would be more effective i think yeah and by the way i think donald trump was spot on when he said
00:53:31.320
drug dealers should get the death penalty and he was attacked for that oh yeah 100 okay uh we all
00:53:38.540
agree very normal mainstream opinions here everybody no thought i don't even think these are thought
00:53:42.480
crimes i don't know how anyone could possibly people disagree with no but you like you look at
00:53:46.520
we brought up jody arias because we were talking about why mormons kill like their families and stuff
00:53:51.240
like that and all that stuff we were talking about that okay all right we had we know there's a whole
00:53:54.760
chat there's like a whole line of like we're talking about the chat folks we're talking about
00:53:57.800
one here yeah not here not here but jody arias she was guilty she's like literally on camera
00:54:04.420
this woman like has now developed an entire life in a lifestyle in prison
00:54:08.800
like with all these boyfriends and like book deals and like it's disgusting like she should
00:54:13.880
be dead yes she killed a guy in cold blood on camera she admitted it later and she just is like
00:54:20.240
living a lifestyle in prison now and i will say this my anti-death penalty impulse is also important
00:54:25.680
to contribute the only negative is if they would use it against people for political conservative crimes
00:54:33.500
think about and they would the regime would what about jeff who said oh that's why i mean that is
00:54:39.620
why yes we'll get to that it's like that is why in the constitution we have that strict definition
00:54:44.540
oh yes the strict definition of treason you need two witnesses and it only is levying war against the
00:54:50.800
united states or giving aiding comfort to its enemies they give that precise definition because
00:54:55.700
in england they had the problem of that liberal use of treason where you're undermining the you know
00:55:01.640
the body politic that's treason and then you execute them for that and that's why there's a
00:55:07.300
ban on bills of attainder because for example during the english revolution against uh king charles
00:55:12.860
they uh they had they had passed a bill of attainder and just executed a guy because they said
00:55:19.160
basically he was a bad dude and parliament just said we don't need a judge we don't need a jury
00:55:23.120
we are the judge and jury and your head's going off okay so let's get to the next topic here
00:55:29.120
so jack this is kind of you and i inspired speaking of people who need the death penalty
00:55:33.240
no i don't well okay so some of the some of whom have already received okay i don't celebrate okay
00:55:42.680
for the record i believe in a justice system i believe in jury of your peers i believe in a process
00:55:49.000
okay so during the super bowl i was a little triggered because it brought back memories to
00:55:59.220
the theater people and i'm curious when you guys were growing up was wicked ever in your town
00:56:05.460
performing when you guys were growing up did they come by here in phoenix oh yeah did they jack
00:56:10.620
was this do you know what i'm talking about it wasn't when i was growing up but a little bit later
00:56:14.880
yeah so they were they were huge in chicago for like two years and now if you don't know wicked
00:56:19.980
it's like a spinoff of wizard of oz and it's like the subtext story right and it's it's the prequel
00:56:27.260
it's the prequel and it's very theater culture and so jack and i have this theory and i think it's a
00:56:34.300
pretty good theory isn't it jack which is it's a great this and i've i've i've said this before so
00:56:39.380
people remember i brought this up on tim cast like years ago but it's a four-step move that
00:56:45.820
that led to some of the cultural decay that we're in so four fire defenses everybody okay i actually
00:56:52.940
have a a setup to kind of to kind of explain this to people but are we going to play the trailer i
00:56:59.320
think we're we're going to do that yes but then i want to go all the way back to how zach afron
00:57:04.560
ruined america so let's start with that yes so okay basically so glee at glee wicked
00:57:13.000
high school musical all come out sort of in succession zach afron uh sets up and and by the
00:57:22.000
way high school musical changed at all i have this whole theory it's not going so here's here's the
00:57:25.880
whole thing right here's the whole thing high school musical isn't necessarily bad i don't think
00:57:31.180
bad with high school music no that's what's so it was a genre that's the point it was it started this
00:57:37.080
new genre and high school musical people have to remember we're going way back here this is the bush
00:57:41.940
era so in the bush era social conservatism was like the the you know the rule of the land and
00:57:49.920
social concern and it got like to the point where um wasn't john ashcroft at one point was like trying
00:57:54.960
to cover up the the nipple on the statue of the lady of justice because it was like oh this is too
00:58:01.080
lurid and we have to you know we have to cover that up um and like this it just went like super super
00:58:08.160
you know uh super far in one direction almost to the point of where we're stifling everything we're
00:58:13.860
going to cancel everything so this is where so high school musical comes out in this era and theater
00:58:18.560
culture you know really latches on to it and then along comes a tv show called glee and a lot of
00:58:25.900
people don't realize that glee which came out right around the same time that social media got launched
00:58:31.600
right around the same time that smartphones got launched this is all ties together a little website
00:58:36.920
called tumblr is involved in this um glee originally was and charlie this is where your point gets in
00:58:44.640
glee was a satire of high school musical it was supposed to be a joke it was supposed to be like
00:58:50.860
a like a parody like a monty python thing but the problem was the fans all and like who were all
00:58:57.200
millennials that are stuck at home because of the great recession they can't get jobs and they're all
00:59:00.360
in debt they start watching glee and they start falling in love with it and they start taking it
00:59:05.200
a little bit too seriously this becomes the plague ship for all identity politics and
00:59:14.620
like which later becomes wokeness and all of this stuff goes back to that original glee fandom
00:59:21.620
which was meant as a parody of high school musical and we have a huge piece written by bill harrell
00:59:29.620
edited by myself humanevents.com people can go check it out we published it i published it two years ago
00:59:35.140
now full two years ago and i talked about all this on timcast and you know i got a lot of a lot of
00:59:42.520
attacks for it but and because i'm not saying that that glee invented wokeness and this is what people
00:59:47.440
need to understand it's that it was theater culture plus identity politics plus social media plus barack
00:59:54.480
obama getting into office plus the rise of smartphones and the economic depression because all the
01:00:01.240
millennials lives you know ended up sucking which by the way is um is one of the songs in glee um that
01:00:07.680
suddenly this it became this way to like relive your high school in a better way a more fun way
01:00:13.560
and it it basically spills over and leads to the point where it's kind of taking over society now
01:00:20.260
yeah and it's interesting because what wicked did and again just don't understand the four-part move
01:00:25.900
here high school musical glee wicked frozen we can get to that later but it's like a four-part move here
01:00:32.300
and it it got increasingly glee was definitely the most radical of them all as far as introducing some
01:00:39.780
of these elements and then there's also cheer as well which is kind of involved in this which has its
01:00:44.940
own issues but jack can you riff on theater culture again i'm nothing against theater i'm glad people are
01:00:52.680
involved in theaters in theater i'm glad they're involved in acting but theater culture is very very
01:01:00.160
left-wing is room very very very woke um yes with theater culture again you're you're talking about
01:01:08.460
a culture where so so we always say that like the left is is people that are in touch with their
01:01:13.260
emotions and of course in theater you are called to emote you are called to you know portray emotions
01:01:19.100
false emotions performative emotions in uh in a stage setting for you know for a for a
01:01:26.680
an entertainment purpose so for people who are empaths people who are empathetic you are drawn
01:01:31.940
to theater uh and and particularly we're talking and i want to be clear about this we're particularly
01:01:37.740
talking about actors and and the people that are actually on screen or on stage because traditionally
01:01:45.560
it wasn't necessarily the people who were the directors the producers and the writers that were
01:01:50.960
involved in this they are now i'm just saying like originally um alfred hitchcock actually has this this
01:01:55.820
um this famous um this famous statement that uh actors are cattle um and so you you get these
01:02:02.200
people who are are just so sucked into the the deconstruction of emotion the deconstruction of
01:02:09.540
narrative in order to normally and nominally perform the construction of narrative then you get these
01:02:14.800
wonderful stories when it's when it's produced through the lens of a great director a great writer
01:02:20.080
uh but then when you you have theater people who start to create their own things their own society
01:02:30.420
their own institutions when they start getting involved in things like politics when they start
01:02:35.800
getting and by the way if if you've ever known theater people if you knew theater people at college
01:02:39.680
or in high school you know exactly what i'm talking about everybody knows who i'm talking about
01:02:42.720
uh they need those directors but you take the director out and you start having theater people
01:02:49.140
directing other theater people and the only thing that comes of it is absolute madness and sheer
01:02:55.440
insanity um this is kind of where like you know ben shapiro's famous aphorism of a factual care about
01:03:02.020
your feelings is is actually kind of like a response to the fact that the feelings crowd has taken over
01:03:07.560
everything and that we all lead with feelings now that comes from the theater people all right this
01:03:12.200
started with the theater people this started with stuff like glee and uh and wicked and frozen and high
01:03:18.460
school musical and all of that kind of taking over society and this is where you get by the way
01:03:24.200
like a jen saki who's making these references and you get do you okay people think you know for
01:03:29.480
anybody who wants to say like oh posto is making this up or anything i'm not reading the chat right
01:03:32.580
now but it do you guys remember the disinformation governance board um this was this board that was
01:03:38.340
she's a total theater person yeah yeah yeah where she was singing theater songs uh nini ankovich and
01:03:44.940
also participated in and created this a harry potter um musical act called the moaning myrtles
01:03:53.920
but at the same time was working for was working for at one point the ukrainian government directly as a
01:04:02.440
quote-unquote disinformation uh researcher which is just so amazing then she comes to the u.s
01:04:08.040
government where she's focused on the disinformation governance board again at the department of home
01:04:12.360
and security a law enforcement agency where she's going to be coming after people like us
01:04:16.260
uh then she i believe she's currently or last i checked after she got fired because somebody me
01:04:21.720
um a couple years back blew this entire thing up blew the lid on the disinformation governance board
01:04:26.180
then she went to work for the british government basically doing the same thing she's worked for like all
01:04:29.940
these different governments and it's it's like it's like there's this weird tie between like the
01:04:35.340
national security state and the theater people which produces a nina yankovich that's somehow doing
01:04:43.840
harry potter songs and comes from the harry potter fandom so fandoms of things like fandoms of glee
01:04:48.440
fandoms of harry potter fandoms of the current fandom of star wars example just totally infested with
01:04:54.260
identity politics um are now actually and quite literally taking over our national security agencies
01:05:00.940
jack that was excellent all right let's get to grocery stores all right this is all right
01:05:06.940
it's this this is so you want to start or can i give my take or you go you go set up the context
01:05:13.820
because i i am a i am a grocery store aficionado i do all the shopping for my family i'm a russian
01:05:19.780
grocery store aficionado oh so was that a real picture of grocery stores so let's talk about so
01:05:25.120
tucker goes and he does all these videos and he says let's set this up so he goes to russia to
01:05:30.080
interview vladimir putin and he does that that's all great we've talked about that and then he also
01:05:37.540
just stays around and does some stuff on what life is like in moscow the russian capital and so he does
01:05:43.160
one clip that's uh he goes to the russian subway system which at the least has more impressive
01:05:49.700
stations than dc or new york does we can get into the rest of it but they are very nice looking
01:05:55.640
stations and then he also goes he does a video where he visits a russian grocery store buys a
01:06:01.420
bunch of food and leaves with it do we have i have to pause you while i talked about one of our partners
01:06:06.380
oh or else they will uh they'll throw the irs at me because they have that power do you know back
01:06:11.720
taxes pandemic relief is now over along with hiring thousands of new agents and field officers the irs
01:06:16.240
has kicked off 2024 by sending over 5 million pay up letters to those who have unfiled tax returns or
01:06:23.060
balances owed don't waive your rights it's not funny andrew don't waive your rights
01:06:29.760

01:06:36.540
friends here's the thing the irs is targeting a lot of people they're not talking targeting the
01:06:40.460
billionaires or the oligarchs they're targeting you here's a mistake a lot of people make oh i can cut
01:06:44.500
a deal with the irs how bad could they be they lick their chops they are trained to take advantage of
01:06:50.880
you they are not your friend and once they get you on the phone you're talking to a government agent
01:06:56.420
that means if you say one thing wrong they could indict you they could throw the department of

01:07:56.580
okay so we we do have the video so we'll open with that so this is tucker carlson going to a
01:08:02.360
russian grocery store let's play 138 i went from amused to legitimately angry um so we were guessing
01:08:12.980
what this would cost everybody hears from the united states buys groceries and we didn't pay any
01:08:17.080
attention to costs we were just putting in the cart where we would actually eat over a week
01:08:20.220
and we all came in around 400 bucks about 400 bucks um it was 104 u.s here and that's when you
01:08:29.760
start to realize that ideology maybe doesn't matter as much as you thought corruption if you take people's
01:08:37.380
standard of living and you tank it through filth and crime and inflation and they literally can't buy
01:08:43.460
the groceries they want at that point maybe it matters less what you say or whether you're a good
01:08:48.280
person or a bad person you're wrecking people's lives in their country and that's what our leaders
01:08:52.540
have done to us and coming to a russian grocery store the heart of evil and seeing what things
01:08:58.880
cost and how people live it will radicalize you against our leaders that's how i feel anyway
01:09:04.420
radicalized we're not making any of this up by the way at all
01:09:08.180
so tyler you've spent time in russia you speak russian so to be fair i lived in russia
01:09:16.060
you know a while ago so things have maybe gotten a little bit better some of these places i don't
01:09:21.760
believe they have because i have friends what years exactly until 2007 okay so 2007 so it's been
01:09:28.300
a little bit so to be fair you know there's been a little bit more development in russia since then
01:09:33.620
but the life i'll say this and jack will probably agree with this the lifestyle in in the moscow region
01:09:41.540
versus the rest of the entire massive it's a european city versus a third world country it's a it's like
01:09:47.120
a real city that's like a like like an american city in moscow everywhere else outside in saint
01:09:54.160
petersburg too petersburg but outside of that everything south and east of moscow is very not fun
01:10:04.180
yeah and by the way you're in the the donbass region which is like the russian side of where
01:10:10.240
the war is being fought right now yeah on the on the you know the the slightly less dangerous side
01:10:15.540
right now of that of that whole thing yeah so in rostov you know until they until they start taking
01:10:20.800
until yeah until they until nato you know makes their move nato they'll make their move across the
01:10:27.020
whatever but rostov third largest city in russia i live there and the grocery stores they have some
01:10:35.020
bigger grocery stores there's a couple big ones that are kind of well known they're like a walmart
01:10:39.820
they have a couple of them very few that that but most of the markets that you go to that most people
01:10:45.120
shop in and there's one big the biggest one that's in russia is called magnet it's called like
01:10:49.020
magnet magnet and this is a very scary place if you walked in it as american you would be like
01:10:55.440
this is all you've got this is a great selection of juice i'll say this because of vodka great
01:11:01.860
selection of juice they have a really great juices outside of that your selections are very limited
01:11:07.420
so yeah things are cheaper but it's not like like when a russian comes to america and they go through
01:11:14.260
our supermarkets everywhere like in the middle you know middle of nowhere they're like oh my gosh i
01:11:19.720
can't believe you have all this food like how do people eat through all this this much food yeah i think
01:11:23.320
angelo makes a really good point though because some people think though and i think the video
01:11:27.280
is very powerful in this regard that russia still has bread lines and they're that's impoverished
01:11:31.780
just like dictatorial but they kind of do outside of moscow because there's so many people on pensions
01:11:39.180
there well that's what i'm saying is that almost everyone's on the government dole in the moscow or
01:11:44.340
they're connected through some oligarchia not moscow moscow is like normal life everywhere outside of
01:11:49.640
moscow and saint pietersburg is like completely dependent on the well let me let me explain what
01:11:55.700
what producer angelo is trying to say here is that his his point was that to a lot of the audience so
01:12:01.200
a lot of people remember sort of the uh to the to an older audience out there and um they remember
01:12:06.940
the when they hear moscow they think soviet union and they think of bread lines and they think of what
01:12:12.400
life was like during that time and they remember the old yeltsin video where he came to the u.s and
01:12:17.120
and tyler's kind of what you're referring to when he comes to the u.s in like the early 90s and he
01:12:21.420
has this wow look at a supermarket i forget where he is um but he's you know it's this famous video
01:12:26.840
of him you know walking around in the u.s supermarket he was in harlem and he was in harlem and he was
01:12:32.100
like wow yeah yeah like in harlem was like really bad it was a houston supermarket and then uh well
01:12:38.800
there's also a point where he's in harlem yeah and so it's like and and and so what what producer
01:12:45.000
angelo is saying um he's just sending a message in the chat is that um you know perhaps what what
01:12:51.100
tucker is doing is kind of pushing not pushing back but just kind of updating people's frame
01:12:55.420
on uh on where things stand because you know like tyler you were there as a spy obviously in uh 2007
01:13:02.500
but you know for other people they just remember the cold war era and that's that's kind of all they
01:13:07.200
know so tucker does have an interesting point that the groceries cost less but but americans earn
01:13:16.820
more than the average russian does yeah i mean groceries cost less i've been to cuba and they
01:13:22.440
were cheaper in cuba too but it was not necessarily don't go to a cuban supermarket it's really it's
01:13:28.600
really bad yeah no we did a whole video by the way we said a team down to cuba and uh went very
01:13:34.560
you know food food prices are one of those things that scales very closely to the overall standard
01:13:40.800
of living in your country this has been pointed out by people the average russian spends a higher
01:13:44.920
percentage of their income on food than the average did i say average the average russian spends more
01:13:50.740
of their money on food than the average american uh by quite a bit it seems americans spend i think
01:13:56.560
americans spend the least share of their income on food of any country whatever our problems access to
01:14:02.820
calories is not one of them hold on let's so jack or you know first of all tyler's not a spy just for
01:14:09.460
the record tyler went on a mission to russia oh a mission a special mission i used to talk at my
01:14:16.120
watch i would ride on the train sent no one ever says spies go on missions i would i would ride on
01:14:22.040
the train and i would just randomly start talking in my shoe and like it's my watch and like just
01:14:26.260
freak all the old people out yeah that's a good way to get yourself reported to the kgv yeah for sure
01:14:31.280
so so jack i i is the quality of food it was an lds mission all right you know people are asking
01:14:38.800
the chat like it was lds mission and he did his years in russia what not orlando like the uh like
01:14:44.020
the uh musical is is the quality of food better in russia so i've uh spent time in belarus which is
01:14:54.220
you know where tanya's from everybody knows and um you know obviously a lot of economic times with
01:14:59.060
russia there and the quality of the food which which by the way isn't necessarily a just an
01:15:03.640
eastern european thing it's all of europe is like this uh the the food is so much better so much more
01:15:08.960
nutritious and so much more alive and nutrient rich than anything you'll find in america outside of
01:15:14.960
like you know farm to table when when we say farm to table they just call that food in in all of
01:15:21.180
europe um they're like yeah that's that's food like even if you're in poland it's you know you i go
01:15:25.860
spend time with my polish relatives and they'll they'll say you know where did these eggs come
01:15:29.320
from they're like see those chickens across the street that's where the eggs came from you know
01:15:32.960
see that see that cow down the lane that's where the milk you're drinking came from um you know and
01:15:37.620
this is just this is just super normal and the fact that we have so much fake food or like when
01:15:43.480
tanya's family comes to visit um even her father will he sees american food and he's like not not all of
01:15:49.320
it but a lot of it and he's like this stuff is plastic this stuff doesn't taste real it doesn't
01:15:53.460
taste like it's got nutrients and if you've never been to you know europe and just any part of it
01:15:59.540
you know even um you know western europe is definitely obviously more expensive than anything
01:16:03.100
that uh you're going to see east of berlin um but even in like quote unquote cheaper eastern european
01:16:09.220
um areas you know the food you're going to get is so much more healthy so much more nutrient rich
01:16:13.600
and you're going to say wow i've never tasted bread before i've never tasted steak before i've never
01:16:18.120
tasted i was in belgrade uh what in last year and you know i had this steak was just just blew my
01:16:24.580
mind absolutely blew my mind the uh twitter did have uh community notes where they said over 60
01:16:31.560
percent of russians spend half of their salary on food according to russia's state-owned news agency
01:16:36.320
the average wage in russia was 73 000 rubles per month which is 790 to one dollars a month with today's
01:16:42.200
exchange rate yeah which is and that's that's also a big part of this is that due to u.s sanctions on
01:16:48.500
russia the value of the ruble versus the u.s dollar has gotten really crazy just in the last couple of
01:16:54.400
years and so that does mean if you are a tourist from america going to russia the buying power of your
01:17:00.140
dollar is really really strong and that is going to make the price seem really jarring in comparison
01:17:07.220
but that's not necessarily the best reflection on is russia better or worse than america i'll never
01:17:13.880
forget my first day in novotrkosk uh when i first got there this was a place that was famous and the
01:17:21.900
because there was like this big like murder scene that happened in novotrkosk no one ever emerged but
01:17:26.700
you can google and find it out so i go to the bazaar with this guy valery grigorovich he's missing
01:17:31.880
three fingers who knows why and he we're like we're gonna buy something so we can barbecue it
01:17:37.200
and i was like okay maybe like a chicken and it's it's it's a re it's a it's a bizarre right so
01:17:42.260
you're walking through the market there's like hanging animals everywhere like me and i'm like
01:17:46.180
thinking oh we'll go buy beef you know there's cow no none of that there's all these rats hanging by
01:17:51.420
their tails they're called nutria they're like a like a water rat like almost like uh i put it in
01:17:57.840
the chat you can look it's like a beaver with a rat's tail instead of them yeah it's definitely a
01:18:03.000
for sure and and they're they're an invasive species what we have we have them we have them
01:18:08.480
in the jesapeake area um and they're an invasive species it's 100 legal to kill them um if you see
01:18:14.960
them they're just they're they're just just disgusting rodents um basically parasites they're
01:18:19.680
like a giant they're like the giant rat you'd have to kill in a video game in the first level
01:18:24.120
they're huge for no experience points they're huge yeah yeah yeah exactly that was my first meal
01:18:29.140
in russia tyler's xp is is it was your second meal in russia that after my second meal in russia
01:18:35.600
was probably uh a sandwich made of hot dogs and shredded carrots and a lot of mayonnaise that's
01:18:43.880
like their that's their sandwich jack jack have you ever had one of those jack a budo brod you know i
01:18:49.260
will i will interject here and people say i understand sandwich it's the open face sandwich it's shredded
01:18:56.460
carrots korean sweet carrots over hot dog just on like a flat open sandwich it's not good you it's
01:19:07.000
an acquired different stuff no not like that though you know i've had different stuff i gotta take you
01:19:11.080
guys are you gonna defend american food here yeah guys we have barbecue in america it's really good
01:19:17.620
and i think it's really easy for people to say oh i go to other countries and the food is better well
01:19:23.100
you usually go to other countries on vacation well and so you eat at nice restaurants or you go to a
01:19:28.920
country that's poor enough that people have to cook all the time and so they get good at cooking
01:19:33.300
so both of those things will mean the meals are better the everyday food in italy is objectively
01:19:38.080
healthier than okay but italy is italy italy's famous and japan japan is pretty good also the average
01:19:45.400
i just named also famous what the average person eats in japan day to day is really boring and it's
01:19:51.400
good for you they have kimchi it's good for you kimchi's korean but yes but japanese have um nato
01:19:58.000
that nato that's right they have a lot of nato we're pulling out of nato but you know it's if you
01:20:03.680
look at the country the countries with heart disease is the number one killer of americans
01:20:07.220
because we love to eat it's great three lowest heart disease though are japan korea and france
01:20:13.140
there's no way russia is at the top of that list it's japan japan korea and france are the three
01:20:17.440
lowest uh but but but so if you look at for example blake i think you would agree if you went
01:20:22.780
to you know the blue zone you know yeah yeah do you know that a lot of blue zones are fake the blue
01:20:27.220
zone i'm gonna mess with you well so for example the part of italy that has the highest longest
01:20:32.260
lived people was sardinia blue zones are okay okay i'll explain this blue zones for those who don't
01:20:38.680
know uh real they like to people research longevity researchers health researchers i wrote a whole
01:20:44.180
book on it okay they look for places where people live the longest because we could learn you know
01:20:49.280
how do we live longer ourselves yes and so they find places that have a very large percentage of
01:20:53.280
people relatively who live to be a hundred or older and some examples of blue zones are sardinia
01:20:59.920
that's an island owned by italy costa rica okinawa i carry an island owned by japan i carry a greece
01:21:05.360
um several places some towns in california that have a lot of seventh day adventists
01:21:09.920
have a high rate and so they study these and what's interesting is some of them seem to be real
01:21:14.280
i think the seventh day adventist towns it's a lot of asians who follow healthy living as part of what
01:21:20.240
the seventh day adventists teach they live a long time but some of them are interesting because for
01:21:24.840
example there's a lot of reason to believe that the high rate of centenarians in sardinia might be
01:21:31.640
less that they live really healthy lives and more that the rural areas of italy never quite
01:21:38.300
hit the industrial revolution and so they don't have good record keeping and so a lot of people
01:21:43.100
they believe are doing pension scams in sardinia that might be true but it like there's an entire
01:21:50.380
ring of islands in greece that replicate that and it's the mediterranean diet you walk a lot
01:21:56.480
i think it might be similar with those which is we have fringe parts of not super industrialized
01:22:03.840
european of countries of european countries european countries that have that are pretty nice but then
01:22:09.820
they have some fringe areas that aren't as developed or modernized and so it's rural not super developed
01:22:15.880
islands in greece rural super not developed islands in italy and then the most rural less developed part
01:22:22.640
of japan let me ask you a question so you'll defend american food the average american who has a lot
01:22:30.540
of corn in their diet you think that's good versus an average european in either switzerland it's not
01:22:37.380
italy corn is not great for you okay so you're agreeing with me corn is the number one agrarian
01:22:42.380
based product that americans have on a daily basis number one that's just that's just okay we're eating
01:22:45.820
a grain that's not as good for us we're eating a grain that is less healthy for us what i feel
01:22:52.080
like when people say the food is better they sort of mean on this abstract level that all of the foods
01:22:57.560
are just but they have different they have different agricultural practices they use less
01:23:01.800
they do not use tilling farming they use less dyes and pesticides people i will say this ask anybody and
01:23:09.140
our emails will prove me right ask anybody that has a gluten intolerance whether that they can eat the
01:23:13.580
bread in italy and the answer is yes actually italy has an exploding gluten intolerance rate this is
01:23:18.780
what's interesting all of the problems we associate the point but all of the problems we associate with
01:23:23.440
oh the u.s is particularly unhealthy it's not that we're unhealthy everyone else is healthy maybe there's
01:23:28.320
something else causing we are unhealthy and everyone is catching up with us so everyone europe is as fat as
01:23:34.620
we were 10 to 15 years ago europe is having an explosion of all these weird health problems we
01:23:40.380
associate with the u.s diet of oh gluten intolerance autoimmune issue that is obviously caused by other
01:23:45.180
things but so but like you travel a lot you can't objectively say that the mainline american diet
01:23:51.360
oh it's horrible so we agree but i think what a lot of it is is america has this base tier of diet that a
01:23:59.020
lot of people eat that is we know it's trashy and we just kind of eat it anyway what you are saying which
01:24:05.560
is smart is that if you're a tourist to america and you eat the best food we have to offer our food
01:24:09.780
can actually be very tasty our food is for like a two-week period and it can be really healthy and
01:24:15.020
it's still not expensive what in american fare can be quote really healthy uh i don't know we're
01:24:21.460
pretty good making all sorts of like vegetable dishes i think or like steak would be the only answer
01:24:26.520
i would take it yeah like a good like sirloin it depends no one agrees on like what's healthy in the
01:24:32.020
first place well we do we think that like garbage you eat four different foods correct well and
01:24:38.120
most people eat more it tends to work charlie i eat eggs occasionally to be fair the one the one
01:24:45.240
the one up the tree the egg council got to me the one upper hand that america has on basically every
01:24:50.300
other country is our beef 100 beef is objectively great for you by the way which is good for you
01:24:57.180
and we have lots of it no other country has has nearly it is the blessing from the lord it's
01:25:03.160
number one in the world and argentina is the second yeah we're like we're very blessed that we have
01:25:07.240
that in our lifestyle chicken's terrible for you how is chicken terrible for you well the our chicken
01:25:11.720
way that it's terrible for the chickens okay the way we do chicken is not good it's not good for
01:25:16.640
the chickens it is industrial scale chicken raising well yeah it's terrible for the chickens i wouldn't
01:25:22.700
want to be it's objectively not nutritious it's full of garbage they're not free range no chicken's great
01:25:28.060
chicken is almost all protein you just get skinless chicken breast cook that you just so the nutrient
01:25:33.380
profile of chicken is good the way that we do chicken is really awful the european chicken if you
01:25:38.920
are a person inclined mongolian chicken animal hearts you know bleeding heart stuff no i don't believe in
01:25:44.040
animal rights i believe in human flourishing and i just think that eating like persuading yourself that
01:25:49.880
you're you're eating like this you know the traditional message of american prosperity was
01:25:53.680
a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage and america is the country that could put a chicken
01:25:58.820
in every pot and we made chicken so obnoxiously cheap that you can just eat it every day and it
01:26:05.920
costs essentially nothing and it's great and first of all it's it's not it hasn't been great the main
01:26:12.160
sources that make american food bad that make everyone fat is our profusion of carbohydrates oh yeah cheap
01:26:18.480
carbs we agree uh yes but that is what america is most known for yeah other countries don't engage
01:26:23.080
in complex cheap carbs like we do it's the barley our worst food our worst food is like a cheese it no
01:26:28.120
offense if we have cheese that says an advertiser but like cheese it's and oreos oreo is actually the
01:26:35.020
boy you know they ranked it as the most unhealthy thing you can eat yeah but it's vegan i love vegan
01:26:39.480
is it really it is it's because it's not it's not real cream it's like a hydrogenated vegetable oil
01:26:44.180
thing it's all the dyes too so what you are right about blake which is important and this i will
01:26:49.540
yield to this if you want to eat healthy in america you can somewhat affordably very more so than it
01:26:55.880
was any other country i think america has a very strong food purity culture which causes a lot of
01:27:00.620
people to kind of go insane and think i need to shop at one of only these two or three places or
01:27:05.880
these restaurants and if i don't do this i will turn into this like land whale or a monster and i will
01:27:11.500
die of heart disease and no it's kind of an 80 20 principle most of the really horrible stuff in
01:27:17.100
american food you can cut out pretty easily that don't get addicted to bad carbs that is the worst
01:27:23.920
thing we have we agree cheap carbs everywhere cut those out you're gonna be healthy that is i cut out
01:27:28.400
a lot of bad carbs and that is how i cut a ton of weight and then i ate a bunch of the chicken you
01:27:32.740
think is poison i think chicken can be fine as long as it's free range not factory finished
01:27:38.780
high industrial steroid you know i can buy a i can buy a no sugar like i can buy the healthy
01:27:43.940
grade of peanut butter with no sugar added and all of that and a container of it is still 3.99
01:27:49.120
and that's a very healthy food that's not available in europe because they don't have peanut butter
01:27:53.660
there for some reason true no the landmass or beef well they could easily grow obtain peanut butter they
01:27:59.100
just don't eat it really they don't like it we have to go everybody do you agree with blake or i i think
01:28:03.400
american food is largely trash with some exceptions i just think this is a moral thing everyone's
01:28:08.180
decided it's just everyone repeats it and then they go on vacation and they like i got you to
01:28:12.040
yield a couple points can i can i just say one thing on this american food debate because even
01:28:16.760
though american food may not be as healthy as it could be and should be and is another place in
01:28:21.800
the world no one has the flavor options we have diversity and also if you like foreign food you can
01:28:29.180
go buy it there's gonna be i could i don't even know what where it would be but there's gonna be a
01:28:34.340
russian grocery store a german grocery store there's an asia mart a mile away from here and
01:28:39.140
you can go to all those places and get their foods and they're all still gonna be really cheap we all
01:28:42.680
agree corn is the problem you don't want russian grocery stores corn corn is if there was one thing
01:28:48.040
to remove from the american diet it's all forms of remember high fructose corn syrup the aztecs
01:28:52.920
worshipped corn as a god and then they also ate human beings for the nutrition obviously a causation
01:28:57.860
correlation everybody we we gotta go remember take out corn of your diet uh and just remove all
01:29:04.680
carbohydrates you don't need them uh glucose is a scam uh power your body through ketogenic lifestyle
01:29:11.780
you'll be happier and more energy see you next week till then keep committing thought crimes
