00:02:22.700
me it's pretty obviously like miami area but but you know ben's is like the least obsec aware
00:02:30.100
you would probably like there there have been times where drone strikes have been called in just
00:02:40.560
because like somebody posted a picture from a balcony just saying no he's not worried maybe
00:02:45.660
maybe someone will send me a love letter you know in a drone that's what i'm waiting for
00:02:49.820
yeah he's the guy you know people there's opening sound effects you know we have like if they want
00:02:55.880
to get you they'll get you they're basically saying that about about mike ben's that's for people
00:03:01.600
who don't know uh introduce yourself real quick hey what's up i'm mike uh i run the foundation for
00:03:07.900
freedom online uh my mission in life is to restore the promise of a free and open internet
00:03:13.040
and uh you know setting free speech free so i'm here to serve that mission we love it and for all
00:03:21.340
of our rumble followers i think i think mike ben's will be no uh no stranger to you guys so i want to get
00:03:27.000
into our first topic blake you have a rundown on this it's called the death of doxing all right yes
00:03:33.520
we have a good topic to open with this week it's not bad news it's good news so doxing has uh hurt
00:03:39.640
many people including myself in a rather dramatic way do you know anything about doxing exactly exactly
00:03:45.900
but uh so they they tried to they tried to pull another one on us this week and it failed
00:03:52.860
really comically hard uh the target of uh this doxing attempt was a guy on twitter who goes by
00:03:59.000
the nom de guerre lomez and he got doxed by uh jason wilson of the guardian for uh being the head of uh
00:04:07.660
passage press that's a new publication house they publish uh new editions of some old books uh by kind
00:04:14.940
of just prominent like old like reactionary conservative uh writers of various strands
00:04:22.100
and then they also do some new books they notably put out the uh collection of steve saylor's
00:04:27.440
writings called noticing and they've got some other books coming out in the near future i can't remember
00:04:32.380
which ones they have specifically but he's behind that and so the guardian was just seething
00:04:37.640
seething that it existed seething that lomez was on twitter and not known that that is that is wilson
00:04:44.140
that is not lomez thankfully that is that is wilson that's the man who did the doxing he looks um he's not
00:04:50.120
i don't think he's officially related to job of the hut i think it's merely a coincidental
00:04:55.460
he reminds me of that annoying guy in the toyota commercials oh that's gruesome yeah okay we'll see
00:05:01.760
if they can find that one but yeah so he is a most unfortunate looking person and a most with the
00:05:05.920
most unfortunate soul within remember if you're ugly on the outside you're ugly on the inside too
00:05:10.960
i think unless you're me judge all but our judge all books by their covers which of course since
00:05:17.640
we're talking about a public king a publication house uh i would say that's that's quite apropos
00:05:22.600
no there's the do we have the picture of lomez because he's been you know i wasn't sure if he
00:05:27.320
so we had him on on my show earlier this week and uh he wasn't um you know i told him i said look if
00:05:33.280
you don't want your picture out there you don't have to do video you can do audio only but he was like
00:05:37.420
no let's let's go ahead and do it and he put his name out there and he was more than happy to show
00:05:41.060
his face and let's just say he's um he don't look like jason wilson he looks like a totally
00:05:46.080
normal guy that you would just see walking down the street which is kind of part of the big problem
00:05:52.020
for this doxing attempt is like nobody can actually really understand why they decided to dox this guy
00:05:58.040
uh because there wasn't really anything they found in there other than like he supported i don't
00:06:02.620
know basic right-wing things like he supported kyle rittenhouse the funniest thing about it the
00:06:08.060
funniest thing about it is like if you bring up the article here i've got the article on the uh on
00:06:12.080
the side computer here if you bring up the article they have photos of all of these other people so
00:06:18.200
they're like oh here's ernst junger he's a german world war one veteran who wrote some books and they
00:06:23.200
published him like here's ernst junger here's peter wrangle leader of the rush whites what they never
00:06:28.940
have in this doxing article that exists to reveal someone's identity they never have a photo of lomez
00:06:35.220
himself and the answer is because lomez is way hotter looking than the guy doxing him and it's basically
00:06:42.840
like then you can you can find the so it turns out he was a college professor at um is it uh uc irvine
00:06:50.100
yeah uc irvine english professor and you can find his rate my professors page and there are there are
00:06:55.220
reviews not new ones these are reviews from five years ago where they're just like oh my god he's
00:07:00.600
so hot and he's a good and he's a good you know instructor he's good at that but he's mostly hot
00:07:07.500
were you the were you the rating for writing i was not i nearly i nearly investigated this i you know
00:07:16.820
like did you submit ratings i did not submit any ratings did you dark web ratings no no stop it
00:07:22.920
tyler you're out of control no look i'll all i'm saying is you know like we're all perfectly
00:07:33.940
i don't know mike's the relationship status but jack and i have really great you know
00:07:43.920
beards so oh you have great beards yeah or was that is that how i guess yeah yeah yeah yeah
00:07:51.540
here oh before we're on by the way uh because completely on rails here's here's the real
00:07:57.960
question about this topic is that you know blake you know more than anyone that doxing and canceling
00:08:04.840
in the past was extremely powerful and so i want to throw this to ben's real quick since we've got him
00:08:10.420
on it's and and ben's you were someone who they tried to go after you and they were like oh he had
00:08:15.620
like a fake podcast and all this stuff and it was ridiculous and it was like a one-day story and they
00:08:20.300
hold it over your head for like weeks beforehand oh we're digging into your past we're digging up all
00:08:26.220
the skeletons and then the story runs and they always kind of backfire i feel like ever since elon
00:08:32.680
bought twitter and darren b we're all mutual friends with darren had along a couple of tweet threads
00:08:37.660
about this saying that the whole kind of hierarchy of doxing is now completely inverted explain to me
00:08:44.700
why that is mike well you know that meme where it's like someone calls you a racist and then you
00:08:52.560
and you're like in a crowd of people they call you a racist and then you go to the corner by yourself
00:08:57.260
and then they call another person race and that person sort of comes in and then suddenly the whole
00:09:02.660
party is like with the people who've been called race you know that that meme and it's i think that
00:09:07.480
effect happens for pretty much everything now because cancel culture during this sort of peak
00:09:13.020
of unchallenged wokeness you know i mean it's sort of in tandem with this push against wokeness altogether
00:09:18.600
i mean the fact is like it's not just elon who's you know leading an anti-wokeness crusade so to speak
00:09:25.740
bill ackman i mean giant institutional investors um you have uh you have joe rogan turning against it
00:09:32.520
you have jerry seinfeld turning against it you know the linchpin of what made wokeness powerful
00:09:37.680
was the threat to cancel you if you didn't go along with the program and i think back you know
00:09:43.680
five six seven eight years ago it was one of those things where it really was the kiss of death to be
00:09:48.900
canceled because it was a very small clique of people who were canceled but now pretty much everybody
00:09:55.020
who's lived through the trump era and has and is still a trump supporter uh is you know is is in a
00:10:01.720
party of canceled people everyone experienced i think what it felt like to be a trump supporter and
00:10:06.040
be canceled from something because if you're a trump supporter you are de facto a racist a sexist uh you
00:10:13.920
know a homophobe uh pick pick your ism and so i think you know basically it got to be the point where
00:10:19.880
when people started to get canceled it was like oh cool here's another person for the party
00:10:22.960
and i think that's what happened lomas it's like hey cool you're on a bus come join
00:10:28.480
yeah it's also kind of like like hey these people are interesting we should check them out
00:10:34.980
these days like oh they're going after somebody new and it and in this case it really was somebody
00:10:39.640
new because lomas i think he only had like 25 000 followers on twitter um which which is decent to say
00:10:45.200
to say the least um but it's it's not like this was some huge you know millions of followers yeah it's
00:10:51.520
not like like lives of tiktok when they went after her but that's also a great example of this
00:10:55.740
of what i'm talking about as well because when they went after lives of tiktok and they doxed her
00:10:59.980
she only became 10 times more powerful than she originally was like you're saying well so uh a guy
00:11:06.940
we all know uh darren beady had a pretty good take on this on uh twitter the other day where he just
00:11:12.280
points out like one of the most important things is there's kind of a herd immunity effect if you're
00:11:17.880
only cancellation is the sort of thing if you're going to do it once it's incredibly powerful where
00:11:22.500
you just say this one person is just not acceptable and shove them out but they they really started to
00:11:28.320
do it a lot they were doing it you know to several like i guess they did it to like dozens of people
00:11:32.980
in 2020 and they've tried to keep doing it since and it's just at the point where you know you look
00:11:39.340
around and there's like 30 people who've been doxxed or canceled on the right and so everyone just
00:11:44.440
thinks wait is this actually a big deal anymore and i think people are concluding it's not and
00:11:51.200
also you just eventually needed the point where a few places would go yeah we're just going to
00:11:55.680
ignore that the more passes you've got on it the more understanding there is on how to beat it and
00:12:01.700
it turns out that the best way to defeat any doxing attempt there's basically two paths you can do you
00:12:06.620
can literally just laugh at them and laugh at the person attempting to do it but one that works
00:12:11.120
and it especially works if they actually have i don't want to say something valid but like something
00:12:16.760
that at least is like mildly bad looking for you is you just ignore it every it's a lot like uh any
00:12:24.080
other hostile news story so much of the energy comes from trying to like push back or dispute something
00:12:30.680
or argue with it and that all that is is an excuse for them to write another article about it and then
00:12:35.440
like repeat everything so the way you beat it is you just pretend it didn't happen and you issue no
00:12:40.180
comment uh and we saw a lot of that um i can't remember there was one that happened i want to
00:12:46.440
say earlier this year where it's like they doxed and just every single person who they try to cite
00:12:50.660
and it just says no comment and then what's the news story there's no one comments on it i think that
00:12:55.020
was the hanania one oh yeah yeah i think it was that one and so yeah it's like they hit up these like
00:12:59.740
venture capitalists or like people who donated to uh his they kept trying to get him canceled from
00:13:06.960
various things and everybody was just like yeah we don't only the only place they succeeded with
00:13:12.300
was the university of austin which was supposed to be like the anti-canceling upstart university
00:13:18.760
thing it was kind of funny and then but everywhere else just said yeah no comment and that's the
00:13:26.380
solution you just say no comment as we're having this conversation and since since blake has said it
00:13:31.080
so many times blake if you can handle it let's um let's play or show clip 174 show show number 174
00:13:37.740
please and uh we can show everybody what exactly it is that blake or who exactly it is that blake was
00:13:46.240
just gushing over on his rate my professor page and it's it's it's very interesting tyler while they
00:13:54.060
well they pull that up tyler i want to get your thoughts on this yeah i mean i are we pulling up
00:14:02.200
the rate my professor page right now is that we're doing uh 174 picture yeah 174 yeah i mean i just
00:14:10.100
think doxing is stupid and we were just talking about like this entire thing is like doxing and
00:14:15.560
swatting are like the like they've got to be like the the lamest things that you could possibly do
00:14:21.340
yeah and it's all like it's just basically it just to me just like it's it's the equivalent of
00:14:26.940
children just like tattle telling on people and like hoping that like your parent or someone else
00:14:33.300
cares and that's to me what like doxing is and like like you said and the best way to handle it is
00:14:39.100
if you don't respond if nobody responds to it if everybody nobody feeds into the fire yeah or i mean
00:14:44.680
if you can resist you can respond as long as like the response is to like you can't really engage
00:14:50.520
with their moral framing of it you have to have contempt for their moral framing uh the libertarian
00:14:57.280
economist brian kaplan who i otherwise disagree with on a lot of issues but one of the things he
00:15:01.300
likes to point out whenever they do cancel stuff is he says you should always ask yourself is this
00:15:06.500
worse than cheating on your wife and then leaving her and your children to like be with a side piece
00:15:11.000
because people do that all the time yeah public people do that all the time all the time and we
00:15:16.900
just like shrug and move on and say you know that's like a private matter like a congressman
00:15:20.280
yeah like congress like congressman movie stars athletes now like mccormick and georgia today
00:15:25.160
oh yeah we want to mention everyone's like you're reading you're like oh yeah you know that's too bad
00:15:32.080
that's pretty bad like that's whatever but most people are like yeah whatever at least accept that
00:15:37.460
that that happened or like we tolerate the existence of that and then we turn around or for that matter
00:15:42.620
we're we're supposed to be forgiving of people who sometimes have committed horrible crimes that
00:15:46.500
have like named or even killed people and then we have to turn around and they're like
00:15:50.920
mr neff said a mean thing on the internet one time oh my oh my god oh yeah and then fox news calls
00:15:59.100
you horrific and does all these other mean things to you uh not that not just hypothetically
00:16:04.880
uh real quick we should have i'd like to say which is that oh yeah we're just gonna say everybody
00:16:11.040
oh yeah go ahead sorry sorry i didn't want to do this uh we have a conservative cheryl as a monthly
00:16:15.520
supporter so we want to say thank you uh to read all rumble we'll read all rumble rants today if
00:16:21.120
anyone wants to make any and we will acknowledge all subscribers so thank you very much for that
00:16:25.460
cheryl now you can go mike oh i was just gonna say the other thing is i think everybody has a certain
00:16:32.120
fear of being canceled themselves and is aware that when you throw other people under the bus they
00:16:37.000
will not come to your support when they when it comes for you so there has been i think jack sort
00:16:42.180
of referred to it as a kind of herd immunity which is like but i think that's part of that comes from
00:16:46.440
the fact that when you see someone get canceled i think it used to be the case when you didn't have
00:16:51.140
that same fear there was an instinct to kind of dog pile and virtue signal and get your sort of
00:16:56.120
you know you know pokemon points from the whole thing but now i think the fear of of having
00:17:01.800
seen so many other people get swallowed up by it you don't want to be a dog piler because then who is
00:17:06.560
going to support you when the dog pile is on you and there's kind of a similar thing with the
00:17:10.560
censorship situation you know internet censorship really started you know against the kind of very
00:17:14.860
fringe element in 2017 you know the kind of section of the mega crowd that was very easy for the sort
00:17:21.920
of mainstream republican crowd to say well you know what censorship's not a great thing but we can't
00:17:28.400
defend these people and then the next layer up and then the next layer up and then the next layer up
00:17:34.020
and then suddenly you know marjorie taylor green is getting censored and ron and uh not uh rand paul
00:17:40.900
is getting censored and then the president united states is the platform and that's like okay you know
00:17:45.240
what free speech for everybody because you know what we're up against is such a monster that we all need
00:17:50.880
to have each other's back you know even even if we have internal disagreements to some extent and i think
00:17:55.340
that's sort of what's happened with the cancer culture you know another thing that's also good
00:17:59.860
is as you mentioned the herd immunity but it's also that at this point we've had many cancellation
00:18:05.160
attempts and what each of those are is it's kind of an opportunity for every single person who's a
00:18:10.540
bystander to kind of pass or fail a test and so if you're on the right you actually have a pretty
00:18:17.140
good understanding now who is trustworthy to stand by people when bad stuff happens to them
00:18:22.100
and who has failed this and over time as a result of this you have a stronger conservative movement
00:18:27.880
because you're basically everyone is collectively selecting for who's not going to wuss out when
00:18:34.120
things get hard and so it's like brotherhood of steel or some stupid cheesy sounding analogy for
00:18:40.460
this but that's a great point virtue signaling is sort of in the opposite direction now whereas like
00:18:45.060
before it was like a virtue signal to join the dog pile now it's a virtue signal to say screw the
00:18:50.880
dog pile you know i was trying to give the other set of fingers but i don't know if this is a family
00:18:55.360
show so my mom is watching and um and actually for the blur you have a blur button don't you
00:19:02.680
uh yeah no no i just call it the blake button we just we just we have a delay on the show but just
00:19:08.240
for blake um so this was this was set up after the lawyers reached out to us and said look blake is
00:19:14.300
involved in numerous indictments farra investigations um he's been working with the mob the mexican drug
00:19:21.520
cartels apparently blake has been like selling fentanyl around the turning point studios it's very
00:19:26.120
interesting um and so so yeah we just got a dumb button but it only affects him actually there's a
00:19:31.840
loose brick in one of these walls that i think has his mom do you see the background here of these
00:19:38.540
loose bricks there's a certain one you gotta tap it it's a hollow so it's actually uh leaving the
00:19:44.240
cooking at the white house but he's like the white diddy but the real the real last section
00:19:51.320
the white diddy that's that is rough that is rough wasn't that jeffrey epstein um but well um and
00:19:59.900
let me just let me put the last um the last question you on before we move to the next topic
00:20:05.420
which you know before we're completely canceled is um what is it so there there's a a a connection
00:20:12.840
there's a direct connection between censorship and doxing because usually the you know the way it all
00:20:19.720
worked before elon bought twitter was someone got doxed someone committed wrong think or as we would
00:20:26.720
say around here someone committed a thought crime and then they would get suspended from twitter and
00:20:32.040
canceled from you know public society they're trying to do the same thing to this uh this nfl kicker for
00:20:37.240
the chiefs right now because he like gave a catholic uh you know convocation speech a catholic university
00:20:43.380
and you know they're going after him now and so the problem though is because the censorship has
00:20:49.700
been shut down and and and also yeah the speaking of doxing the kansas city like twitter account
00:20:56.400
some employee rogue employee there actually tweeted out where he lives um completely insane so you know
00:21:03.060
canceling doxing leads to canceling doxing can lead to swatting which is something my family's
00:21:07.480
experienced uh and a number of people in the movement have experienced because once they realize they
00:21:12.100
can't censor you and they become impotent with their canceling attempts they just try to move on to
00:21:16.500
other means so ben's walk me through how it used to work and why they are becoming so desperate
00:21:23.100
yeah well there used to be something called a well it's still here but it's called media escalation
00:21:28.460
which is the which is the inbound email that a platform gets when there's been a hit piece on
00:21:33.720
somebody and the the news you know the journalist whether they're from the new york times the washington
00:21:39.460
post or buzzfeed or politico will not just sort of ask for comment from the target of the of the
00:21:46.740
dox attack but they would also send a concomitant email to youtube if they had a youtube account to
00:21:52.620
facebook with their facebook account to twitter for their twitter account and basically send a
00:21:57.780
threatening email to them saying do you know that you are hosting a person who's engaged in hate speech
00:22:03.140
and this is a major brand safety risk for you don't you know and don't you know advertisers are going
00:22:08.780
to respond very poorly when they see this story and this this uh this would be a media escalation that
00:22:14.420
the the inbound would run up the chain to the you know to the higher levels at those social media
00:22:19.640
companies and so it was you know it was a very effective tactic for actually achieving cancellation
00:22:24.960
because it would go hand in glove with a kind of de-platforming because of the business interests of
00:22:31.200
the platform in order to keep their advertisers who themselves were under the gun by various other
00:22:35.800
forms of pressure and you know that that hand gesture that i was going to make earlier um was uh was one
00:22:42.600
that elon musk made in a very powerful gesture when he basically formally eschewed that entire
00:22:49.180
coercion process when he said gfy to advertisers and said you know we're we're going to basically build
00:22:57.460
our own pirate ship through subscriptions and through through other kinds of products and services like
00:23:02.100
you know the premium and grok and other and the other assets frankly that elon has from his empire
00:23:06.660
but not being subservient to to to advertisers in in a total in a totalizing fashion and trying to
00:23:13.660
diversify the business has actually and the fact that he's willing to lose money on the platform
00:23:18.640
in order to preserve free speech has made it so that twitter is actually one of these places now that
00:23:23.840
is pretty much rock solid when these in terms of your platform security where that was not the case
00:23:29.060
under the jack dorsey era jack dorsey even said the whole reason he banned trump was because of a
00:23:33.060
business decision around how they were going to financially destroy the company unless he did
00:23:37.560
also i'm i'm seeing some people in chat by the way who are asking and perhaps this is remiss of us for
00:23:43.680
not saying so there are people asking what is doxing and doxing is different layers different
00:23:48.360
definitions i would say my tightest definition would be number one um taking something or someone who
00:23:55.700
was anonymous on the internet and publishing their name and then the next level of that is publishing
00:24:01.480
their personal information i don't know would you guys anything different to that yeah it's like i
00:24:06.840
think the original use of it would be publishing just someone's home address for the purpose of like
00:24:11.820
trying to harass them or annoy them and then what you started to get during the cancel culture era
00:24:17.240
was you would take someone who was anonymous anonymous online and then publicize their identity for the
00:24:24.720
sake of shaming them getting them fired getting them humiliated all that sort of thing and then
00:24:31.100
i feel like that's become the main purpose of it is just the stuff like this we're like we're gonna
00:24:36.740
show lomez's identity so that we can try to ruin his life in some capacity especially if there's no
00:24:43.380
other justification for this other than just we want to blow this person up um and so that's kind of
00:24:49.480
what it mostly refers to i feel like you don't hear it used as much for just publishing someone's
00:24:54.540
address you do see that sometimes i guess with like uh like when they were posting brett kavanaugh's
00:24:59.380
address so that they could try to get him murdered but that's about the only case i can think of when i
00:25:05.520
when i got doxxed uh human turd and his turd throwing wife eric wemple of the washington post
00:25:11.220
showed up at the place where i lived but i wasn't there at the time but which is probably for the best
00:25:15.900
because i think if i'd been there i probably would have like kicked him in the nuts or something
00:25:18.980
but didn't happen i wasn't there there was no showdown but you should look up eric wemple
00:25:24.660
and how his wife once uh threw a piece of dog poop at someone yeah and uh doxing originally came from
00:25:31.080
you know the uh dropping docs like d-o-c-s docs that's where documents yeah it was like documents
00:25:39.540
for compiling a dossier right so that's like where it originally came from
00:25:43.620
but you can't dog you can't get docs if you dox yourself which is what i live by which everyone
00:25:49.620
was like why do you put so much personal information on the internet i'm like because
00:25:53.000
we have a constitutional carry state here in arizona that's true yeah that's to be afraid of
00:25:59.020
and i have cookies we said in the chat you just provide cookies to everybody when they show up
00:26:03.120
and then they're like oh they were wrong about you on the internet
00:26:06.380
do you keep any like emergency cookies that might have certain substances in them you know
00:26:12.620
uh like chocolate or like snicker noodles have uh he's trying to sell fentanyl to you man
00:26:18.900
you know he's something you can't i'm not gonna fall for this i'm not gonna fall for it
00:26:23.080

perhaps you might want to know about our next topic and i'm going to leave i'm going to send this over
00:27:49.040
to mike benz because uh so did did france ferdinand just happen again because we just had an
00:27:55.980
assassination you know attempt in slovakia uh france ferdinand for people who don't know
00:28:01.740
is the assassination in sarajevo where the heir to the or i should say the heir apparent to the
00:28:08.240
austro-hungarian empire was killed this set off a ching reaction that we refer to as world war one
00:28:14.180
uh eastern europe of course is the uh the birthplace of both world wars so world war ii kicks off
00:28:20.760
in poland 1939 so my question vends is world war iii going to kick off in slovakia
00:28:26.600
i don't know about world war iii he did survive the assassination attempt you know it looks like when
00:28:33.080
the dust has settled it'll probably be closer to a sort of bolsonaro situation when he was uh stabbed
00:28:39.200
while while attending uh an event you know in uh 2018-2019 and i think that uh you know in this
00:28:47.040
case it does look like he's likely to make a recovery from what i'm seeing although that will
00:28:51.080
i guess remains to be seen but you know there's a bigger picture here of yeah of who of who done it
00:28:58.340
and why and i have been fascinated by slovakia for some time because you know it's one of these you
00:29:04.860
know v4 visigrad for countries which is uh very critical for the foreign policy establishments
00:29:12.840
control over uh as a buttress to ukraine and as a key puzzle piece in the grand ukraine energy play
00:29:21.280
the grand ukraine energy play is is basically this move by by nato energy stakeholders and uh the
00:29:29.280
whole atlanta council uh atlantis's foreign policy set to make uh you know basically a trillion dollars
00:29:35.740
in windfall profits by prying off the natural gas market of europe which until about 20 years ago was
00:29:44.120
a hundred percent controlled by russia which meant which made gazprom the single largest company in the
00:29:50.200
entire world in 2005 2006 and then through state department coerced european energy diversification
00:29:56.880
policies uh because russia has the cheapest gas and the most most plentiful and otherwise you had to buy
00:30:02.440
more expensive western lng there's been uh the the big a big part of the move here and a big part of the
00:30:09.000
ukraine coup in 2014 was to pry russian gas off of europe and replace it with gas coming from the west
00:30:18.000
of ukraine rather than the east and a central part of that linchpin plan has been the resupply see
00:30:26.400
ukraine has has played such a vital role in the gas market not because of all the gas that's in ukraine
00:30:32.480
but because of the gas transit from ukraine into europe from russia there's there's legacy architecture
00:30:39.100
that dates back a hundred years and these pipelines are expensive they're difficult to maintain they're
00:30:44.120
deeply interconnected that's why there's 15 to 30 year contracts on these things and so the ideal
00:30:48.260
situation is you cut off the russian gas from the east and you simply have a new entry point for for
00:30:55.440
uh from the gas but you keep all of that legacy architecture that goes all the way you know out to
00:31:00.760
out to rotterdam and the and the way that they have plotted to do that is through primarily through
00:31:06.620
poland poland has this vast new set of gas architecture that can take lng coming in from the
00:31:13.880
baltic sea and then connect through through terminals from poland into ukraine and this is
00:31:20.000
why the political leadership of poland has been such an important thing for nato to control and as we just
00:31:25.360
saw with this uh with what just happened uh there a few months ago but poland's ports themselves run
00:31:31.540
through slovakia now this is very important because slovakia has been on the edge for some time now uh the
00:31:39.260
the uh the near assassinated president there robert fico has has pledged to uh to not go through with
00:31:48.600
the their their gas contracts with uh with russia uh they have one set ending in 2024 and another set
00:31:56.260
ending in 2027 and they pledged to restore those those gas contracts with russia and not cooperate with
00:32:03.100
the with the desired sanctions of the eu they are also putting pressure on ukraine to restore gas
00:32:09.760
relations with russia both hungary and slovakia are having conversations about having having ukraine
00:32:17.540
restore some limited amount of engagement with the ukrainian gas market this new president has
00:32:23.320
basically rejected the nato line on the ukraine-russia war and because of the leverage they have over the
00:32:29.960
eu and nato because the whole grand ukraine energy play the whole trillion dollar play to run lng through
00:32:36.240
poland into ukraine runs through slovakia if this if the if the if this new prime minister decides hey
00:32:43.320
you know what actually goes you're gonna put sanctions on us uh if we don't go along with with
00:32:49.100
your war or you're going to uh you're gonna we have a trump card over you which is that goodbye to the
00:32:55.300
gas transit to ukraine which by the way is all of ukraine's national revenue essentially because
00:33:01.480
in order for that gas to go from poland ukraine you need to go through us and so because of that
00:33:07.220
there has been an an incredible amount of nato and cia and soros malfeasance to use the rental riots
00:33:15.440
to use the whole regime change blob architecture to try to uh to try to regime change fico's leadership
00:33:23.700
now this this has happened in tandem with fico trying to establish to trying to rot root out
00:33:28.860
the ngos from the blob that are similar to as they were in belarus you guys remember that famous clip
00:33:35.120
of alexander lukashenko talking to i think a bbc reporter where he says we've removed all your
00:33:40.580
little structures you know when he's asked why there's no free there's no free speech in belarus
00:33:44.880
and lukashenko saying that's not free speech those were cia proprietaries essentially those were
00:33:49.500
those were those ngos were your pawns they were your structures you know this is not a free speech
00:33:54.540
issue we simply this is a counterintelligence issue well that's the same thing in slovakia slovakia has
00:34:00.140
been totally controlled as a nato vassal state um until the past few years when basically they've
00:34:06.760
been pushed to the brink and this new president wrote in on on a populist outrage over over that
00:34:11.840
nato vassalage and so you know what they've what they've done now is is three months before this
00:34:17.320
actually you know these nato rhetoric rights just like in georgia were taken to the streets
00:34:20.900
because of a new law that was essentially kind of like a far out law which basically said that you
00:34:26.740
know foreign-owned media in the country would not be allowed on on state radio or public broadcasting
00:34:32.620
on tv like this is important for you all the opposition media in the country was being backed
00:34:40.280
by the cia by way of the national endowment for democracy so it was it was an astroturf opposition
00:34:45.860
movement the entire time and but but that is their stool to be able to twist the judiciary oh the
00:34:51.140
other thing is they had a special prosecutor probe into to try to uh to try to robert muller or jack
00:34:57.360
smith robert fico out of office and fico has just recently gestured that he's going to end that special
00:35:02.820
prosecutor probe so now they're trying to so they did another set of rental riots there to try to uh to
00:35:08.680
try to you know basically argue that oh rule of law rule of law in slovakia is overturned because now
00:35:14.540
we might not be able to throw him in jail like we threw enron khan in jail or donald trump in jail
00:35:18.640
but whose rule of law is it it's not your country that's slovakia so that's what the slovakian people
00:35:24.480
to decide so for folks folks who are are watching and or if anyone's watching listening back on the
00:35:30.160
podcast side on audio slovakia we've got the map up right now just south of poland just north of
00:35:35.720
hungary uh it's very close to romania again this is the whole neighborhood and what do all of the
00:35:41.560
countries that ben's is talking about share a border with ukraine and of course poland and
00:35:47.080
belarus are next to each other belarus also just to the north of ukraine and so this has been highly
00:35:52.380
caustic i want to throw out to blake blake you know we've seen this situation ben's has talked
00:35:57.920
about how this is a guy who's definitely a huge thorn in the side of uh nato collective west all of
00:36:03.980
that um you know sort of a you know he's definitely an orban uh type you know as we say we we know that the
00:36:10.640
guy who did this was like a 71 year old like ultra lib in slovakia definitely one of these like
00:36:16.140
anti-putin nafo types but i'll put it this way rather than get into you know whether or not he
00:36:21.260
was like actually working on cia orders i i guess my bigger question the thought crime is like does
00:36:27.560
do you think this is something that could spiral the the neighborhood into a wider war i mean it's a
00:36:34.540
classic case of why all of this is so ridiculous where you have nato an alliance that was created
00:36:41.180
like for the security of the west you know so it's the u.s and our crucial post world war ii allies
00:36:49.680
to contain an aggressive foreign ideology of international communism which is the soviet union
00:36:55.220
and its satellite states and then after the cold war ends we just decide to add every random country in
00:37:02.320
the world into nato and that you know and there might have been there was some justification for
00:37:07.300
that i understand it but now it's clearly become it's become a means to instead of protect the u.s
00:37:14.700
and keep us at peace it's become a thing that just sucks us into like it just sucks us into these dumb
00:37:23.560
things like i don't want to be mean i'm sure slovakia is nice i'm sure i'm sure that horror movie
00:37:29.840
hostile that took place there is not accurate i'm sure bradislava is cool but it's a country of
00:37:36.460
like four million it's because you're like four million people four or five million people it's
00:37:41.060
like middle income mountains of the carpathians they're absolutely gorgeous i'm sure it's lovely
00:37:46.400
lind is very nearby um that's uh skiing is gorgeous it's a beautiful country i'd love to visit it i'd love
00:37:52.980
to visit it i'm sure there's a lot of great things about it but objectively speaking america should not
00:37:59.160
have to care about slovakia there should not be any crisis if whatever opinion slovakia's leader
00:38:07.060
has on any international issue because this country has half the population of los angeles county and it
00:38:14.860
probably has the same gdp as like the des moines metropolitan area or something well you know what
00:38:23.700
ronnie said jack can you pull up on screen the specifically not just the geography but but the
00:38:29.000
poland slovakia pipeline that's actually the name of it lake's got the lake's got the uh the uh the
00:38:34.420
direct controls okay yeah just run a google image search just run a google image search for the for
00:38:39.520
the slovakia poland pipeline this was uh this was actually first uh the idea for it actually came
00:38:48.480
right in right right before the maidan square kicked off this is in 2013 uh right ahead of the
00:38:54.620
2014 coup as they were planning the you know the the the resupply of the gas market uh in in ukraine
00:39:03.080
and where they and we're simultaneously setting up the the poland lng operation and the connective
00:39:08.260
terminal through through slovakia and uh and it was it was finally completed in 2022 you know so so it's
00:39:16.580
it's brand new and it is the linchpin of this uh of this grand ukraine energy play using poland and
00:39:23.120
the new cooperative government in poland because you remember before the uh turnover in the poland
00:39:27.500
government uh just recently the law and order party was expressing their dissatisfaction with the
00:39:32.840
direction of of uh nato's line on ukraine so conveniently they topple that government and uh and now they
00:39:39.520
are working to topple the uh the slovakia government so that they have total control over the gas
00:39:45.280
architecture now you know mitt romney actually just came out i think earlier today and made a
00:39:50.800
statement against america first and uh you know isolationism as he calls it you know because the
00:39:55.800
american economy is mostly based on our affairs internationally and you know that he that is
00:40:02.180
it's not incorrect to say that the issue is is is our corporations themselves no longer serve the
00:40:08.420
american people they don't you know they've they've our manufacturing is now we've got that we've got
00:40:14.200
that a million miles right now by the way yeah and so it's so the the point that i'm trying to make
00:40:19.440
here with the with with the pipeline is that it's not about control over the four or five million people
00:40:25.420
who live there you know ukraine itself is the lowest gdp in all of europe you know even before the war
00:40:31.120
started it's not it's it's about the land it's about the geopolitics of it it's because it's just
00:40:37.700
about the physics of how a gas pipeline works you need to control the transit points in order to
00:40:42.700
control the market and i would i would suggest that um that nato was not necessarily constructed for
00:40:49.560
the security of the western world i would argue that it was set up for the you know to to secure
00:40:56.340
and safeguard the commercial interests that ride on the military battering arm of the of the transatlantic
00:41:03.180
defense establishment it just like the you know the cia does not primarily you know to to service
00:41:09.160
national security or look at the national edowment for democracy the cia's number one cutout who's
00:41:13.680
behind what's happening in soovakia right now you know who's on the board of the national edowment
00:41:18.120
for democracy which gets a half a billion dollars every year in um in congressional funding and was
00:41:23.680
set up by cia director bill colby as a as an explicit uh as an explicit cia pass through to try to
00:41:30.740
re uh reestablish the cia conduits that they had in the 1960s on the board of the national
00:41:36.200
democratic democracy are representatives from chevron exxon google microsoft mcdonald's walmart
00:41:45.260
it's the corporate stakeholders who you know because you don't make your money at the cia
00:41:50.520
or the dod uh you know as a you know gs 17 making 175 000 a year you make your money on the board seats
00:42:00.220
of the corporations that you were good little boys for while you were in charge of the state department
00:42:04.100
desk there or the dod operations that were carving up their markets or the cia operations that were
00:42:09.460
regime changing governments that you could have a favorable you know uh labor policy or tax policy
00:42:14.520
or regulatory environment for the corporations there that's that's kind of the level of the food
00:42:20.100
chain above this and so you know what we're doing in slovakia is is is what we're doing on every
00:42:26.300
corner of the globe it's what we're doing in namibia and uganda and turkmenistan you know there's no
00:42:31.780
there's no plot of dirt on god's green earth that doesn't have some exploitable natural resource
00:42:37.300
and that that same blob apparatus to be able to you know run black ops dirty tricks to control
00:42:44.220
is now what we're seeing in our own domestic politics with it being turned against us the citizens
00:42:48.500
so basically what you're saying is if some places got oil or access to oil then they they need some
00:42:55.940
freedom real fast by the way this is the same issue with why people always ask me about why does
00:43:01.040
China care about the Uyghurs so much what's the big deal they live out in the middle of the desert
00:43:04.140
of central asia well where where is Xinjiang located right across from Pakistan and this is
00:43:11.540
exactly where they want to build that Pakistan economic corridor across the actually the Kashmir
00:43:17.300
region which I know Blake has been talking about recently um across from Xinjiang so they can get all
00:43:22.440
the way down to the port of Chabahar and then get eventually get into Iran eventually get into the
00:43:26.860
Persian Gulf that's what it's all about and the Uyghurs who were in the way with their Islamic um
00:43:33.080
Islamic separatist uh movement didn't they didn't want them bombing the pipeline so what did they do
00:43:38.920
they locked up all the Uyghurs before we end this topic I want to go to um I want to go to Tyler
00:43:44.720
Tyler you've been in that region I think probably more than all of us combined you know how oil and
00:43:51.040
mineral rights really play a huge role there what you take yeah it's so interesting when you look at
00:43:56.740
like Turkish relations too and you know I've just been you know catching up on some recent news when
00:44:03.640
it when it comes to the the southern pipelines too I'm sure we could talk about this for hours and
00:44:08.860
hours actually lived as you know on in some of the the bigger port areas where those those companies
00:44:17.040
operated out of and it was very interesting to see I literally lived in the Donbass folks
00:44:22.860
well I lived I lived in Tuwopsay and Noah and Sisk where you know those areas are two of the largest
00:44:29.920
ports where so much of of all the oil moguls and you know quite a few Americans that were doing business
00:44:38.220
with with the with the big companies were were there and it's uh and this is this is a big a big deal
00:44:45.940
and I spent actually some time I think we talked about this before in Romania uh with the senator
00:44:51.180
of the Romanian parliament who was there and kind of just funny story when we were there traveling
00:44:56.860
around he was the uh the minister of oil and gas and we would go around to all these different
00:45:03.460
refineries and talk to so many different people and this guy had a bulletproof bins and we were going
00:45:08.800
through all the country all these people were had uh Romanian last names but they were actually Russians
00:45:15.280
so just you know receiving and passing around and making sure that you know the entire business
00:45:21.940
was protected through throughout much of central Europe and so you know there's a lot of complication
00:45:27.540
that exists and I'm afraid that we're uh you know to say that our American uh understanding of how
00:45:37.080
this business operates is that we're in over our skis and for the average American to really understand
00:45:43.240
what we're up against is is is not saying a whole lot so yeah I think I think it comes back to what
00:45:48.580
Blake said you know this we we're we're sticking our nose and our fingers in dirty little pies that
00:45:54.580
have no direct interest for the American people and it goes back to Ben why are we there we're there for
00:45:59.940
uh corporate power all right I want to go to this next topic we're taking a little longer on topics
00:46:04.880
today but that's all right we got the time we're all here for thought crimes this one uh Blake and
00:46:09.680
you know we'll have Tyler get into a little bit more and then Ben's you and I can chime in
00:46:13.420
Politico Mag had a really interesting article that came out a couple of days ago talking about and this
00:46:20.540
is directly tied into something that we've all been working here and we talked about on the program a few
00:46:24.620
weeks ago regarding what if the electoral college ends in a tie and what does that mean for our republic
00:46:33.220
going forward like you went through this article what was your takeaway this is so exactly so first
00:46:40.660
I just want to set the stage because we've talked about this a lot when we've covered uh operation
00:46:44.840
corn husker as I recall it which is where we've discussed trying to get Nebraska to change to win
00:46:49.840
or take all and the reason it's been important for us to work on that is if you look at an electoral
00:46:55.540
college map uh in fact here we'll just bring it up just to remind people if they have forgotten or if they
00:47:00.760
haven't seen it let me just go to 270 to win.com highly addictive website highly recommended for
00:47:07.440
everyone who loves to do nerdy election stuff so I've got that on screen here so let's just go and
00:47:12.640
we'll take autism if we take the uh 2020 election results and now let's go let's just assume we get
00:47:19.220
Arizona back and if we get Georgia back and so this is if you if you have this map and then if you
00:47:26.240
flip Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania we win that's great but there's another path where we can
00:47:32.000
get if we go Nevada which polls say Trump is up in Nevada as we've discussed if you if you flip that
00:47:38.020
it's 270 to 268 Biden wins old Joe gets another term but if you make Nebraska winner take all
00:47:45.980
so that Trump is going to win the state of course then you have a 269 269 tie so we've discussed this
00:47:52.500
but to remind everyone if you have a 269 all tie in the electoral college or any electoral college
00:47:58.840
result where no one gets a majority so you could get the most but not be a majority this still happens
00:48:04.420
if that occurs then the election goes to the house of representatives and the way the house decides is
00:48:13.340
they have to vote among the top three electoral vote getters and you vote by state so every state's
00:48:22.120
house delegation gets one equal vote so the one representative from Wyoming who I forget the
00:48:27.560
name of gets the same amount of voting power as all 52 of California's representatives but that is
00:48:33.680
how they do it odds are right now if we were to do this with the current house setup you would have
00:48:38.760
26 republican votes 22 democrat votes so chances are Trump would be able to win and that'll probably
00:48:46.380
still be the case after this fall's election unless we would badly lose the house somehow so which
00:48:51.600
which house votes is it the current house or the house following the election it would be the new house
00:48:57.200
because it's the new congress that officially tallies electoral votes on uh in january 6th
00:49:02.680
or i don't know is it the same date every time or is it uh so whatever it is early january
00:49:07.780
so you've seated the new congress then and they only vote after they've failed to do it so even though
00:49:14.920
we'd know in advance they're only counting at early january when the new congress is seated so it would be the
00:49:19.500
new ones what's interesting about this article which i also have up here it's in politico if anyone wants
00:49:24.800
to go look it up the title a trump biden tie would be a political nightmare but maybe a boon to
00:49:30.320
democracy that's always a word to watch out for anytime they're using democracy you know that uh
00:49:36.140
a liberal is planning something really sinister let me ask ben's about that ben should we be careful
00:49:40.540
about when we hear politico saying something will be good for democracy
00:49:44.520
i need to unfreeze my eyeballs i think my i'm like uh i'm stuck you know where are you going with
00:49:51.660
this buddy like uh you know there's there's something very ominous afoot uh i mean they must
00:49:58.700
be saying i mean this must involve some way that they can screw trump and basically invoke the whole
00:50:03.980
tentacles of the blob to descend on this but let's uh let's see you had my interest now you have my
00:50:09.760
attention exactly so they make the comparison so exactly 200 years ago so you know stuff rhymes
00:50:16.320
exactly 200 years ago is the last time we had the house decide an election this way and it was
00:50:22.340
andrew jackson versus john quincy adams and andrew jackson gets the most popular vote but not every
00:50:28.820
state decides through popular vote and in the end neither of them get a majority because i think
00:50:33.380
there was another candidate i can't remember exactly which one was was it was it the first time henry
00:50:37.540
clay ran he ran like 50 different times for president anyway so it goes to the house andrew
00:50:43.240
jackson yeah so andrew jackson versus quincy adams goes to the house and there's the so-called corrupt
00:50:50.680
bargain yeah it was henry clay henry clay cuts a deal where his electoral votes support john quincy
00:50:56.720
adams so john quincy adams becomes president and andrew jackson who i will say is very much like a trump
00:51:03.360
figure for this time my favorite fact related to that is andrew jackson would write letters to his
00:51:08.680
friends where he would just vent about how terrible the government was and then these letters would get
00:51:14.220
published in the newspapers and they were basically exactly like trump tweets people would even say like
00:51:18.500
oh andrew jackson he can't spell right he can't write good he's bad he's dumb and so it had that element
00:51:24.060
to it that's just a side thing anyway he points out that the backlash the political backlash to this at
00:51:29.620
the time was immense that jackson had gotten the most votes probably had the most overall popular
00:51:34.080
support but he doesn't become president one thing this does is it causes there to be a big switch to
00:51:39.960
popular vote for picking the electors of each state four years later john quincy adams isn't a super
00:51:45.580
popular president and jackson annihilates him is a two-term president and he kind of is one of the first
00:51:50.300
big revisions of american political life so what this article in politico says could happen is it says
00:51:57.340
yeah you know maybe trump will be able to win the presidency by he's like fast forward 200 years
00:52:04.800
and america is arguably at a precipice on two occasions over the past 25 years republicans have
00:52:10.880
lost the popular vote only to win in the electoral college where small popular population states enjoy
00:52:17.060
an advantage now republicans could lose the popular vote again having won it only once in the past 32 plus
00:52:23.880
years and then may try to engineer a trump win in the house but by playing the inside game and using a
00:52:30.540
vote in the house republicans could perpetuate their power but a democratic system that is no longer
00:52:36.260
responsive to we cannot put enough quotation marks around this the will of the majority could break
00:52:45.480
and create unintended consequences this could be a watershed year for american we need to put more quotes
00:52:53.700
around this democracy long stalled political reforms from introducing supreme court term limits to
00:53:02.700
abolishing the electoral college could finally sail through atop a wave atop a wave i want to cite this
00:53:10.440
phrase they will sail through they will sail through atop a wave of populist democratic outrage
00:53:20.580
populist democratic outrage we're going to have people they're going to protest in washington dc and
00:53:28.440
then everyone's going to be like this is this is the will of the people it's trump's it's america's
00:53:33.960
ukraine moment oh my god and they'll just freak out this blake this is exactly what the transition
00:53:42.520
integrity project already plotted what you just said a totally astroturfed you know uh you know they
00:53:48.480
published in june 2020 the a bunch of military intelligence and political folks who are all
00:53:54.760
never trump with john potesa role-playing joe biden and bill crystal and michael steel joint gently uh
00:54:02.080
role role-playing donald trump simulated how to get trump in how to get biden into office if trump won the
00:54:07.920
electoral college yeah and what i mean so there was that and then there's so many different articles that
00:54:15.720
are just very quietly paving the way for like it's like little democrats just kind of nudging you
00:54:21.760
on the arm saying you know we got to be ready one of my favorites the atlantic in uh 2021 had an
00:54:28.960
article kamala harris might need to stop the steal and this was looking ahead to 2024 basically saying
00:54:34.920
you know all that stuff that was definitely illegal for mike pence to do to keep trump in office
00:54:39.280
yeah kamala harris might have to do that you know stop this deal and then in the same thing for the
00:54:45.900
electors yes and they've also said could the democrats in congress like refuse to certify a trump win you
00:54:52.520
know maybe we can get a few republicans who don't want him and they'll just refuse to certify totally
00:54:57.060
legal everyone that that's part of our democracy our democracy right it's a rico case in georgia but when
00:55:03.200
we do it it's it's democracy yes yes exactly like there's just there's no one has like more contempt
00:55:10.600
for democracy than the people who like use the word democracy all of the time there's probably some
00:55:17.680
sort of aphorism that describes this this phenomenon i'm just like it's me thinks the lady doth protest
00:55:22.840
too much you know that was that was the one i was gonna say that was the one i was gonna say
00:55:26.160
says yeah me me thinks the yeah the people like were threatened by democracy i'm sorry i was i was
00:55:33.660
just gonna say i love watching the meltdown when you explain to someone that just say i like just
00:55:38.900
rolling the grenade into the conversation just saying hey the pre did you know that the president
00:55:44.120
isn't elected democratically and they're just walking out and it's just like boom just on twitter
00:55:48.880
every time oh you mean it's like with normies and stuff oh anyone it's just anyone right like it's
00:55:54.280
like did you know this is a democracy when it comes to the president and there's like boom
00:55:58.320
they lose their mind in their presidential it's great everyone should do it more often
00:56:01.980
it's a lot of fun we absolutely should i don't know if that's helping the polling on the electoral
00:56:06.940
college i don't think i'm helping but throughout you know i made a comment about you know democracy
00:56:15.080
at cpac and that that became like the number one trending topic of the entire mainstream media
00:56:21.140
um i had bill maher going after me i had joy reed go after me like every single night
00:56:26.240
same way that she goes after me every single night in her dreams um i don't know if it's the exact same
00:56:31.640
way i don't know 100 100 sometimes it's trump though that's why she's slowly trying to morph into
00:56:36.740
she wakes up in a cold sweat she just yeah it's so big oh she's trying to get i was on her show
00:56:42.300
balance in 2016 she's never she's never recovered fully and um and uh it's true we should pull that off
00:56:48.740
at some point i went off on i was like going off on lbj it was great um and uh and and all because
00:56:56.000
i said something about like oh yeah welcome to cpac where we're here to end democracy because
00:56:59.940
like that is what they had been saying about us the entire time in the run-up to it so i just
00:57:05.180
repeated their own words back to them and they're like he admitted it oh he admitted it you see you see
00:57:11.540
and i'm like really this is all it takes apparently that's all it takes folks
00:57:14.660
but but but tyler in all seriousness um i mean you're looking at polling you're you're you're
00:57:21.980
like you know the turning point action guy how how realistic is this 269 scenario this time
00:57:27.020
i mean it's really realistic i mean last time we there was a there was a kind of funky way that
00:57:31.780
it could have happened uh i think that involved new hampshire now because of how the the numbers
00:57:36.500
have shifted like this is very realistic i mean it's basically blue wall versus like what we've
00:57:41.220
talked about sunbelt with as long as nebraska gets winner take all done so you know maine we we've
00:57:47.600
we've investigated this we've covered this a little bit maine has a real challenge in getting rid of
00:57:51.980
their winner shake take all i mean or adding winner take all getting rid of their uh uh by congressional
00:57:58.420
district uh apportionment of the uh of the electoral college votes nebraska has a very clear path and maine
00:58:06.220
does probably doesn't have the time to do it and so uh and it would be very unpopular in maine where
00:58:12.040
it's very popular amongst republicans in nebraska which is a very deep red state so nebraska gets this
00:58:18.680
thing done i mean you are looking at a very real situation and and this starts starts to spark the
00:58:25.500
conversation about you know 14th amendment stuff and what are the democrats going to try to pull out
00:58:31.160
you know they've been going after i think they've gone after the whole electoral college
00:58:35.920
uh the elector stuff you know i can't talk too much about that uh being somewhat in the middle of
00:58:42.860
all this in arizona but i think they've gone after this specifically to try to destroy the electoral
00:58:49.340
college i think they're trying to use that to enrage normal americans uh on on a talk on something
00:58:57.980
that's obviously been in their life their entire life whether or not most americans realize it or
00:59:02.180
not and and that's that's a real concern uh when you layer that on top of the supreme court conversations
00:59:09.940
on top of the ranked choice voting conversations uh i mean there's just a lot and i think they just
00:59:15.260
want to get national popular vote done because it would be almost impossible to get rid of the
00:59:19.140
electoral college you know constitutionally and that's it i mean so just to bring this up and then
00:59:24.780
that's scary by the way mike another chance but you mentioned that the interstate popular vote
00:59:29.120
compact is this thing they've considered you can look that up and we call and by just the loose
00:59:35.160
slang is national popular vote is what people call it so the idea is they think they can kind of
00:59:40.580
execute this scheme so the constitution says you have to do the electoral college but it doesn't say
00:59:46.340
it doesn't say how you have to award your electoral votes well since we're on the topic to to get rid of
00:59:52.320
the electors it would require a vote of two-thirds of congress both both chambers plus three-quarters
00:59:58.080
of the states to change it exactly so the shortcut they try to take is they're passing this thing
01:00:03.180
called the interstate the national popular vote compact and what it is is it's these states pass
01:00:08.800
identical bills that say we will award our electoral votes to whoever wins a national popular vote
01:00:16.200
only once a total a majority of electoral states have or a majority of electoral votes nationwide have
01:00:23.080
passed this same thing yep so the idea is you get 270 total electoral votes to pass this law and then it
01:00:29.980
triggers now right now this is the law with 209 total electoral votes that is uh 38.8 percent of the
01:00:38.860
title total so they're about 75 percent of the way there which is which is scary it's all blue states that
01:00:44.420
have done it every state that's passed this right now is one that is solidly democratic at this point
01:00:49.640
um the probably the most red one is maine like we'll get the electoral vote there but so you could
01:00:56.040
just do the math where you know they control uh if they got if they got virginia back under control they
01:01:01.680
could pass it there uh i think do they have full control in michigan right now so like michigan could
01:01:06.500
theoretically pass this and so what you'd really just need is you'd need one way of election where democrats
01:01:13.160
control a red state at the state level um and then they can just do this you know maybe they make
01:01:19.300
slightly more gains in arizona or you know they flip north carolina back somehow and so they pass
01:01:25.300
that there they can pretty quickly get to that 270 i think you could debate whether this is
01:01:29.880
constitutional i think it's possible the supreme court would say you can't do this for some reason
01:01:34.460
uh cross that bridge when you get to it but they definitely have a plan to just blow this up
01:01:40.480
um but we've been away from mike for a while so let's uh do you have any thoughts on this mike
01:01:44.660
yeah i think it's instructive that it was such a big part of the transition integrity project
01:01:49.980
blueprint and that they even contemplated deploying black lives matter street muscle and what kind of
01:01:56.140
favors that the biden campaign and other stakeholders would need to do to curry favor with the black lives
01:02:03.520
matter street muscle in order to support a call to take to the streets to abolish the electoral college
01:02:08.140
i mean they they mean and this did not just come from like random people this came from
01:02:12.680
this came from john podesta and bill crystal then michael steel the former head of the republican party
01:02:18.820
donna brazil the former head of the democrat party as well as a slew of military generals and
01:02:23.540
intelligence folks like rosa brooks who herself was under secretary for defense and was also had a
01:02:30.040
cia blue badge and teaches courses at georgetown on how to overthrow governments you know democratization
01:02:36.040
studies i mean that's what that is it's how to how to overthrow a government and install a uh
01:02:40.860
you know pliant vassal state in the name of democracy so these are professional regime change
01:02:45.620
artists uh who have a license to do dirty tricks abroad who were plotting out in the open how to
01:02:52.340
orchestrate an operation in order to uh through dirty tricks and then part of that included threatening
01:02:57.340
secession of the western states you know getting um uh but you know basically bringing the and as they
01:03:03.580
do in a color revolution having these street protests and and organized shutdown of the entire
01:03:08.320
national infrastructure the highways the federal buildings the afl cio would do mass worker strikes
01:03:15.300
to bring the country to a halt until the electoral college reform is passed so do you think that this
01:03:21.100
is what you're saying that that this sorry like i think i was asking the same question though but is
01:03:25.940
are you saying this is what we could see if the scenario kicks off i if if they if they feel that
01:03:33.440
that is what is necessary to win the election i would be shocked if it doesn't if you don't see this
01:03:39.060
exact thing i'm actually i'm actually a little bit surprised that this has not been memed with greater
01:03:45.100
intensity over the past several months if you remember it was a very high intensity thing this
01:03:50.680
abolished the electoral college um around this time last year and and and in the immediate aftermath
01:03:56.460
of the 2016 election when norm eisen was going around and securing something like 15 to 30 different
01:04:02.140
votes to not certify the election uh of 2016 and you know so i'm a little bit surprised i don't know
01:04:08.820
if it's because they the um you know the journal bots are are all focused on the trump trials and
01:04:15.600
things like that that um that they have not taken the time to set the table about what a threat to
01:04:21.380
democracy democracy is in the form of the electoral college um but i i do expect that to uptick
01:04:27.900
especially if they're serious about this so i want to add and just real quick too and this is a real
01:04:32.560
danger too because we have a lot of states that are red states that have uh voter initiative very
01:04:37.720
loose voter initiative laws uh that allow the voters to send something to the ballot that effectively
01:04:43.480
changes permanently the constitution of their state and this is an issue that's been a really huge issue
01:04:50.080
in arizona part of the reason why arizona is where it's at today as being competitive even is
01:04:55.120
because of our very loose voter and voter referendum voter initiative laws and a lot of red states have
01:05:01.000
these and so the way the democrats are looking at this with mpv with national popular vote is okay we
01:05:07.620
got to get all of our slam dunks like you said blue states get them all done right and and then they
01:05:12.800
just have to spend money one state at a time getting mpv you know and they want to be strategic so if it
01:05:18.900
fails it fails permanently effectively in a lot of places where initiatives are done wrong but they still
01:05:25.020
have that very open and they have loose openings still with texas who they you know democrats believe
01:05:30.420
that texas has they have a real opportunity to capture texas long term um as soon as houston becomes
01:05:37.660
unmanageable for republicans and conservatives and you know austin and other places in dallas parts of
01:05:43.500
dallas and so you know they're kind of biding their time this is a long-term strategy that they know
01:05:48.880
they're going to be able to to knock off and there's no there's no going back you know once this is done and
01:05:53.940
once this is in the constitutions of these states this is a massive and really it becomes a a
01:06:00.400
constitutional uh you know this is why the supreme court matters so much and protecting the supreme
01:06:05.160
court and winning this election an underappreciated thing i do like is if we go to this national popular
01:06:11.280
vote this back doorway we would be going to a national popular vote without having an actual centralized
01:06:17.400
like federal definition of for example who can vote well that's that's why they're pushing it i know so it's
01:06:23.040
crazy because this is how to take over the city it is but it's even get even wackier than this
01:06:28.140
what if you say parents can vote for their kids or this would be my favorite troll if you did this
01:06:33.600
they pass this and then you just wait to the last minute again and then you have alabama or some red
01:06:38.300
state come out and they say everyone in our state gets to vote a thousand times and it's a full vote
01:06:44.180
it's not one thousandth of a vote you get a thousand votes and you can distribute them however you want but
01:06:47.780
it's a thousand votes and you just get to vote however you want for all these candidates so you
01:06:52.380
can give 800 votes to trump and 200 to biden if you know you're just sort of split between or you
01:06:56.920
can go all a thousand or you can just say only i only have like a hundred votes i want to give out
01:07:01.300
do all of that but just let everyone vote a gazillion times and you guys say it's popular vote whoever
01:07:07.120
gets the most votes you have to back i think you could have so many shenanigans with this it would
01:07:13.180
be terrible for america but it would be highly entertaining yeah i think they define that in
01:07:20.200
the bills too is that it doesn't matter how you vote they define it they define it in all these
01:07:25.920
bills as by a voter okay so even with like rank choice voting where you actually vote multiple
01:07:34.120
times in a row for you know three different processes they've identified it as so that because
01:07:40.040
that's a big question it's like well what if you implement rank choice voting for presidential and
01:07:45.000
and the argument is you can't you know because of the electoral college and so that's they could
01:07:50.220
they could arguably do it for everything except for federal office because of how the constitution's
01:07:53.920
written but this is this is uh you know where you start getting into the all these wonky things and
01:07:59.660
this is where you know it's really simple you know not it's this is not complicated but the left
01:08:04.700
has done to try to eradicate basic well-known well-understood methods of you know civic engagement
01:08:13.740
which is voting you know learning how to run for office do these things how they've made it in the
01:08:19.760
last five years so complex so confusing intentionally that average people who don't know it already don't
01:08:27.500
know anything about the electoral college now are even more flustered because there's all these different
01:08:31.620
things happening between technology and now processes that they're there and that is the
01:08:37.080
intent right we know that's the intent we know that's what's written we we're we've seen what
01:08:41.700
they've they've tried to do this the playbook and that is the destruction of america and we're not
01:08:45.960
doing a good enough job at framing that conversation as conservatives because we are losing our country
01:08:51.140
right out from underneath us on that issue well i have a way potentially for us to frame things a
01:08:57.480
little better as conservatives because we're all going to be hosting a get-together tyler in fact
01:09:03.900
is going to be hosting it in this june 14th to 16th detroit michigan du trois it is the people's
01:09:12.500
convention everybody's got to go and get this tpaction.com slash peoples plural with an s we've
01:09:18.740
got of course president donald j trump leading things off the big ramaswamy dr ben carson steve bannon
01:09:25.180
donald trump jr charlie kirk tulsi gabbard christy noem candace owens laura trump myself senator rick
01:09:31.660
scott benny johnson bishop arby shines kimberly guilfoyle congressman lee zelden congressman matt
01:09:36.880
gates brandon tatum congressman eli crane and congressman eric burleson i believe roger stone
01:09:42.320
is also going to be there i'm going to be doing my book launch of unhumans at this thing it's going to
01:09:48.080
be incredible tyler what is the importance of the people's convention before we get to our last our
01:09:55.040
very last uh our very last topic tyler has to leave in a sec tyler you have to stay you have
01:10:01.080
to tell us about the people's convention and why it's important i mean we are completely just so
01:10:06.920
you know this is going to be bigger than the rnc convention we're inviting everybody uh so you
01:10:12.840
don't have to be uh you know elected and you know this the pomp and circumstance of all that stuff
01:10:18.440
everybody can come and so we're excited about this thing because we've got everybody coming and you
01:10:25.260
know what our team has put together you you just wait it's going to be incredible uh with the the
01:10:31.240
background we obviously do our events right those that have been to our events have seen it you know
01:10:36.340
the uh you know if you go to post those uh page you can see the backdrop i think your i think your
01:10:43.200
header image right jack is uh is that one of our events so it's going to be a lot of fun we have
01:10:49.160
some tricks of our sleeve and the speech of the century from the president tyler i'm thinking i'm
01:10:54.140
thinking we might need if he's available a certain a certain executive director of the foundation of
01:10:59.440
freedom online maybe special vip what are you thinking special vip mike benz benz what do you say
01:11:07.340
you in man benz i think you're i think you're muted oh yes i'm sorry i was muted i was i couldn't
01:11:11.660
contain the excitement yeah no i uh i've seen i've seen those those tp usa parties look like a lot
01:11:16.400
of fun i've been uh i've been waiting to go to one for a while so put me in coach no let's get you
01:11:21.160
in gp action tp action by the way the lawyers out there this is our c4 this is our c4 this is
01:11:27.620
definitely not our c3 we would never dream of cross mingling or cross pollinating any of that
01:11:32.660
no but i think uh yeah if you're we know the democrats democrats never break rules about you
01:11:37.340
know which organization can do what this is turning point action democrats so speaking of
01:11:42.440
democrats and liberals breaking rules um blake i'm gonna have to ask you to bring up our final
01:11:49.020
topic of the evening okay we're gonna have a quick blitz we're gonna be reacting to like three pretty
01:11:53.300
brisk things here but it's important that we be able to react to all of them so first of all
01:11:57.620
we want to warn you this is not you're gonna think this is a story you heard from a month ago
01:12:04.080
but it's actually not uh and so this is brace yourself just uh just play 163
01:12:18.300
yeah if you've got kids watching right now um yeah get get them out of here so mercifully there's
01:12:25.760
no sound here but i don't think it leaves too much to the imagination that is german politician
01:12:29.740
martin neumeier he's a member of the free democrat party they're not the same thing as the democrat
01:12:36.500
party of the united states but you know spiritually they have a lot in common with them so what he's
01:12:42.740
doing is he's licking a toilet brush there and licking a toilet he's very into various uh
01:12:48.180
toilet related adventures that is a political candidate in the country of germany which is funny
01:12:54.580
by itself but it's extra funny because a socialist politician in spain not even a month ago was
01:13:00.820
caught uh with his own he he was like making videos of himself eating a uh a certain bodily excretion
01:13:10.020
and so you know was this the same guy that was covered in feces too this one this guy was was
01:13:17.600
making himself beards of like so anyway boys we have memed into reality yes yes we have it's all
01:13:28.300
it was always 4chan always wins 4chan always wins and so it's you know it's i i have they always say
01:13:38.100
we should be open about what we are and i guess we've made the world you know the left i i just want
01:13:43.860
to point this out too i mean and again i hate being you know there's lots of things that we can
01:13:49.060
be uh extraordinarily uh condescending to americans about but europeans and public bathrooms they have
01:14:00.180
i mean these are the worst the worst i mean so this is just for i'm losing it right now for americans
01:14:06.220
like it would be one thing to lick an american toilet that's pretty clean if you go to europe i mean
01:14:11.840
sometimes it's just a literal hole in the ground so this guy how's this guy gonna i don't even know
01:14:17.040
how he's still alive to be honest i do want to say the the the numbers the chat you know the the
01:14:22.980
viewership is going up as we're playing this so you know you guys are complaining but at the same time
01:14:28.860
they're showing it again oh god it's showing it it's so gross it's so disgusting it's so gross
01:14:35.240
you know like lock that from it like makes me want to throw up i actually it's like i can't handle
01:14:42.480
when my so when my dog craps and like i i wake up and like my dog's crapped in my kitchen i like i'm
01:14:48.900
like i literally like start like my my wife can hear me she's like they're i was like stop being
01:14:53.400
i like this humans from cr for freedom we put old yeller down put him down i think he's trying
01:15:00.580
to put himself down but maybe the germans are like i would go to world war three over this
01:15:05.900
i thought i thought we were okay okay all right this next this next bit is going to be is going
01:15:12.080
to be way better robbins the next bit is uh we have to react to this one instead uh let's play 162
01:15:19.680
the paparazzi really are everywhere everything you were taught as a kid is wrong you make me
01:15:26.740
want to dance gay penguins bisexual lions sex changing clownfish this is a queer planet
01:15:33.860
queerness has always existed it's only in humans that we have such a stigma about it
01:15:38.800
the idea of just having two fixed sexes is clearly out of style mother nature is pretty open-minded
01:15:46.900
sex is not just for reproduction it's clear that no matter where you look on our planet
01:15:54.940
nature is full of queer surprises to be honest we should all probably get laid a little more than we
01:16:01.660
do you know the most disgusting part this is an nbc documentary called queer planet and cr for freedom
01:16:09.740
hitting another home run they're turning the frogs gay they're turning every animal gay the craziest
01:16:15.680
thing is the gayest part of that ad or like the grossest part was like that flower like blowing
01:16:20.540
up and there was a lot of subtext to that one um but man they're gonna they're gonna gay up
01:16:28.740
everything man they're gonna the animals are queer i remember the plants are queer you know at like
01:16:35.080
like national geographic would just kind of show i don't know like here's my question you know so
01:16:40.880
you've got to be in the wild for a while like when they did the first planet earth documentary
01:16:45.260
which is bbc i know it wasn't um necessarily graphic but it was bbc didn't they spend like
01:16:49.100
five years getting all that footage like the incredible footage that they have like all over
01:16:53.340
the world my question is how long did it take them to find that footage of the lions and here's my
01:16:59.140
thought crime did they do something to potentially like you know entice the lions yeah did they did they
01:17:06.800
do something to make that scene take place oh i don't know you know it's weird looking at this too
01:17:14.180
because we're so far past gay and lesbian in in like the current lgbt thing it's almost quaint
01:17:21.920
you know my experience watching that ad was like oh yeah i remember i remember gay and lesbian like
01:17:28.380
the the transgender stuff has like the artificial monstrosity castration of children thing is like
01:17:36.400
so dominated you know the front you know kind of like what the identity of of the queer movement
01:17:43.700
is for since gay and lesbian have been accepted for so long now in terms of you know where the
01:17:49.300
battleground is in the in the culture wars like everything has moved into the transgender thing
01:17:53.040
i don't even remember the last time that i met uh you know a red-blooded lesbian so to speak it seems
01:17:59.400
like you know the the transgender market has almost you know eaten into the the traditional just kind of
01:18:06.220
you know gay gay market because now there's there's just uh such a big movie to the trans thing which
01:18:11.380
is the farthest thing from the natural habitat of the savannah i mean this is like uh artificial
01:18:17.220
you know uh mad scientist stuff so i you know i actually i'm not sure that that piece of propaganda
01:18:23.360
is going to serve its intended purpose all right andrew's telling us we should play uh 179 this is a
01:18:30.400
actress actor elliot page formerly ellen from that movie juno uh talking about everything's queer
01:18:38.160
now it's like not even cool anymore so let's play that it's often called like niche you know queer
01:18:44.100
things niche 30 of young people identify as lgbtq plus so i'm like i'm sorry this is not niche
01:18:51.440
you tell really specific stories about like cishet people i'm not calling that odd plot niche uh thank
01:18:59.300
you is she is she like tweaking there or something she she's very jumpy uh i just want to say that you
01:19:08.300
know elliot you know elliot page wow just really a success story in the trans movement probably one of
01:19:16.120
their greatest successes um that we've seen just someone who's clearly very well adjusted is is
01:19:21.940
taking everything absolutely in stride um you know obviously seeing her slash his career skyrocket
01:19:30.620
from this you know want to want to go zur ought to give zur self a pat on the back really should really
01:19:36.680
should yeah we you know and a lot of this is connected to the other identity issues you know the
01:19:42.080
fact is is i mean you see so much of what's happening right now with the you know the kind
01:19:47.420
of privileged pokemon point thing and the need to sort of uh evade the identity of being you know a
01:19:55.440
sort of heteronormative or a sort of white you know anything that gets you farther from the identity
01:20:00.720
of the disadvantaged groups i mean this is it gets you it gets you accepted into college at a higher rate
01:20:06.520
it gets you of a more high paying job it moves you up the ladder it allows you to bring all sorts of
01:20:11.540
windfall lawsuits because now you're a protected class it makes it you harder to fire because they
01:20:16.660
don't want to risk those lawsuits it gives you uh it gives you cachet you are now qualified for
01:20:21.700
all the different government grants and programs that are only accessible to you if you have if you
01:20:26.440
have something some flavor to you that allows you to access um you know privilege uh in in the
01:20:33.640
actual sense of that and so i think that that she's not necessarily entirely wrong with like
01:20:39.320
everything's moving to that direction now because this is it this is in the schools at so young at
01:20:43.740
an age and people as they're developing their identity know who the good guys and the bad guys are
01:20:48.660
so to speak from everything that they are indoctrinated to read and so they're they're
01:20:52.720
rushing to be one of the good guys to like join some sort of queer thing that's actually what i
01:20:56.240
think is behind bisexuality at such a you know high rate according to these things i think a lot
01:21:01.420
of straight people are basically saying well you know what i'm i'm kind of bi i guess just uh so they
01:21:06.500
don't need to necessarily lop off their private parts but they can still get some of those pokemon
01:21:10.920
points i just feel like especially that page the video i just like one it's fun to imagine taking
01:21:19.380
that video even 30 years ago and saying like this is the future and and this but i also just feel like
01:21:26.340
in 30 years or so like we'll look back and this will be one of those videos like they take it out of
01:21:31.460
context and they'll just say yeah so there was like a 10 year period in a long time ago where
01:21:36.660
everyone was gay and they were all super crazy like they'll totally overblow like it's all it's
01:21:40.960
too common as it is but they'll make it even more common and we'll all like have to defend ourselves
01:21:46.980
and we'll just be like no no i i wasn't like that you're over brilliant and they'll be like no look
01:21:51.460
at this video there's every everyone was gay then for 10 years everyone was well the thing
01:21:55.000
the thing as well about about ellen page is that in when he her i don't even remember what i'm
01:22:01.960
supposed to say anymore whatever but when she put out that book page boy um does everybody remember
01:22:06.120
this this was like the memoir this was the explanation and the idea was like um oh this
01:22:12.040
is why i came about with this so she goes in and talks about actually being sexually abused by
01:22:18.000
directors and uh obviously there were a lot of there's a lot of stories involving brian singer
01:22:24.200
uh the x-men director the original x-men director and so there there were definitely issues with this
01:22:30.220
and so but then the next thing is like oh and then i went to therapy and they said i should do this
01:22:35.540
immediately it's like whoa wait a minute like something horrifically traumatic happens to you
01:22:40.220
and that's initially what these therapists start you know start saying is you know what you should do
01:22:46.300
is something that's potentially even more physically and mentally traumatic than the thing that already
01:22:51.560
happened to you as if that's going to help you out and i look i'm sorry you know i was joking about
01:22:56.680
it before but we've seen some of the pictures we've seen some of the image this is obviously someone who
01:23:01.080
is not well this is someone who's not well mentally this is someone who's not clearly not well physically
01:23:06.040
um not well spiritually and of course if someone who went through a lot and somehow the answer of that
01:23:13.520
is like oh you should go and perform uh non you know non uh adjustable permanent surgery to yourself
01:23:21.680
you know and and in peru yeah it's a producer producer andrews in the chat in peru they just uh declared this
01:23:27.720
a mental illness so i'm told that the that the the leader of peru is kind of a leftist to begin with
01:23:32.580
and so so yeah so yeah this is weird i don't know final thoughts everybody because because last one
01:23:39.040
we have to weigh in we have one more our final thing is we have uh what's the number here
01:23:46.000
171 we have to we have to pass final judgment on the weird dark souls looking painting of uh king
01:23:52.820
charles oh 71 bring it up bring it up are they gonna there we go all right so you can see that is
01:24:01.620
the disembodied head of king charles atop his red outfit with a background of slightly lighter red
01:24:08.720
if you also if you mirror reverse it and put them next to each other there's kind of like a demon
01:24:13.240
head on it it's all kind of it's all kind of strange do we have that one of it mirrored
01:24:17.960
i i don't have that off the top i just saw that on twitter somewhere unfortunately that's been
01:24:24.220
floating around ban and posted it too that i mean that thing it's it's it's actually like i i don't
01:24:30.640
know right you know you see stuff like this and you're like oh no they're they're they're not
01:24:36.520
messing with us they're not putting up symbology and people are out there going no no no this is
01:24:41.800
totally normal and then you see something like this and you're just like i give up man they're
01:24:45.700
all just demon worshipers i give up i can't do it i can't do it yeah i feel bad because oh oh you
01:24:52.060
can go my can you go to youtube or just even google image this and but youtube it type in ghostbusters
01:24:59.640
vigo the destroyer yeah exactly and tell me that picture does that look literally exactly like oh
01:25:08.460
really yeah yeah it's is this is this is vigo the destroyer like this is the uh you know the the
01:25:16.060
royal aristocrat caked in goo coming out of the painting you know in this and it kind of is if you
01:25:24.440
think about there are thousands of pictures of like european royals and european royal families
01:25:30.240
going back you know hundreds of years that have been preserved for like over the centuries none of
01:25:35.720
them looked like this it's like it's like you know he's either on the throne or they're like they're
01:25:41.040
out hunting with the with the you know the hound dogs and they're chasing a fox or something it's
01:25:46.280
like a nice classical portrait or whatever no this it's like it's like no i'm sorry like i i you
01:25:52.380
know the british royal family and all the stuff they say you know i don't know what am i supposed
01:25:55.900
to say what am i supposed to say what am i supposed to do someone tell me what i'm supposed to say
01:26:00.580
it's too bad to me because king charles actually is he's relatively traditional in aesthetics he's
01:26:06.540
been he's done a lot of campaigning against bad architecture in the uk he's a big supporter of like
01:26:11.320
classical uh like house architecture classical garden design he'll write forwards to books about
01:26:18.160
this and stuff like he's not this i mean he's the king of england he's not a philistine who just
01:26:23.340
easily falls for like dumb artistic trends so controversial take while that stuff is really
01:26:29.780
disturbing to look at it's really weird when you do that i do think that is actually like a coincidence
01:26:36.380
uh i don't i don't love the painting i don't love the painting okay it is definitely
01:26:44.700
pretty demonic looking blake is like pretty demonic looking it's a better it's better than
01:26:50.160
the obama painting conspiracies but then then you see something like this and it's just like
01:26:55.340
it's performative you know it's it's better than the obama painting with the leaves that painting was
01:27:00.500
worse um this one but that was just weird this is like i'm looking like i kind of want i actually
01:27:08.320
have to delete this from well no i mean the obama one the obama one had demonic elements to it
01:27:13.580
there you know there was the the person in it you know this is oh play play 182 by the way we've
01:27:20.280
got we've got we've got what ben's was just asking for yeah there you go it's uh you know he's like
01:27:27.420
coming out of the painting and the other thing is in ghostbusters the end of the movie there's the
01:27:31.820
pink slime that comes down around him if you remember it's the pink slime takes over the museum
01:27:36.160
so so you know our good king over here is like uh in in the slime of it yes i see by the way
01:27:45.020
vigo vigo vigo the conqueror also also right he's he's eastern european that's eastern europe again
01:27:53.020
that's the border region with ukraine so ben's ben's has shown us how it all it all goes back
01:27:58.420
he wanted us to know he wanted us he wanted us to see what he was doing before we go put up i think
01:28:04.340
it's 183 the obama one i just want people to see it if you look close what's also great about it is
01:28:09.760
it's weird looking but like the painter is not very good like the chairs proportions don't work out like
01:28:15.940
the parts that are behind obama like it doesn't it is not a normal chair it's like he's on top of two
01:28:20.980
half chairs it's really funny even and like his left foot doesn't really seem to be connected to his
01:28:26.640
left leg you see yes yeah yeah that's all that generated thing where it like screws up the the
01:28:32.380
fingers you know it's got that going on with the feet it almost looks like he's wearing high heels
01:28:36.540
because of that i mean yeah this is just yeah junk and there's like there's a part of his sleeve that's
01:28:42.540
like colored differently and the outline of what's colored differently i don't even want to describe for
01:28:47.820
people because we're already in trouble for what we've covered here but uh yeah so i would at least
01:28:52.940
say i'll take king charles's portrait over this so we're still we're losing the portrait battle to
01:28:57.880
the uk even even with the new king charles painting so do you think this is like this is like let's go
01:29:03.620
let's go full conspiracy theorist now so this is like this is like the illuminati signaling the
01:29:08.740
freemasons you know in the in the great overstate war that's going on you know there's there's there's
01:29:15.200
different symbols in this that we can't perceive but it's it's clearly it's clearly something that's
01:29:20.560
going back and forth yeah or it's like a thought piece thing you know like a janet jackson pop a
01:29:25.580
nipple out kind of thing it's like oh look yeah see this thing's a little funky it's a little weird
01:29:30.660
you know maybe it'll pop up maybe we'll get more than seven are they just gonna spike the football
01:29:34.560
is joe biden's official painting just gonna be like him eating a giant cheese pizza and then they'll
01:29:40.520
just be like oh that's that's what our painting is for for joe biden yeah yeah it's him licking an
01:29:45.020
completely insane completely insane all right we're we're we're all going to be destroyed now
