DNSSEC specifically targets the communications of everyone.
00:00:22.200
We're here with Andrew and a special guest, Cliff Maloney.
00:00:30.940
Is Cliff going to be doing the kind of announcing like we did during the election coverage?
00:00:35.660
I still get people that come up to me and talk about how amazing that was.
00:00:42.100
Apparently, I'm starting a race war in the WNBA.
00:00:48.320
There is this placid world where there is the Women's National Basketball Association.
00:00:59.060
They definitely never have beefs or arguments or disputes or rivalries or pretty jealousies.
00:01:07.440
I'm sure all 10 people at their games were having a blast.
00:01:17.300
But we can start showing that you reacted to this hard foul.
00:01:27.200
And by the way, just for the record, my latest tweet is one of my favorite tweets because I didn't run it by any of you guys.
00:01:40.660
So the first one we have, let's do – is this loaded yet?
00:01:56.280
So that was called as a violent atrocity on the court.
00:01:59.500
That was Caitlin Cart dribbling, and she sort of brushed her fingertips.
00:02:05.840
You know, I think we might need a federal investigation to do the truth.
00:02:09.700
I think we need a hate crime investigation whether she touched her.
00:02:13.860
By the end, I meant the hand, just to be clear.
00:02:18.660
And then on the flip side, though, we also have – she is getting fouled very aggressively.
00:02:28.220
So we have, you know, fouls get called one way, but not the other way.
00:02:36.300
And it turns out, really, everything was fine until you stuck your nose into it, Charlie.
00:02:43.400
Let me search Charlie Kirk WNBA, as I search every day, but I try to check.
00:02:53.500
Charlie Kirk turns Caitlin Clark and WNBA referee controversy into race debate.
00:03:02.700
So I'm the one who found this article and showed everybody – I found this personally remarkable
00:03:11.660
because the whole Caitlin Clark thing has been nothing but a racial discussion since she got into the –
00:03:20.960
It was like, well, of course it has to be a white woman that makes college basketball, women's basketball popular.
00:03:25.680
The entire saga has been about racial dynamics.
00:03:30.640
And then somehow some jerk out there, some ignoramus, says it's Charlie Kirk that turned it into a race debate.
00:03:40.720
I just want to repeat what I also tweeted today.
00:03:44.880
They are jealous because she is the best white player and one of the best players in the WNBA.
00:03:49.900
And the WNBA is overwhelmingly black women, and they are targeting her because of this.
00:03:54.940
And on top of that, what they're really mad about is that she's the first WNBA player in probably about 20 years
00:04:02.620
who's been, like, a decently popular national figure.
00:04:11.240
And, like, it's so dumb, frankly, that it became such a racial thing because the one I was thinking of was Lisa Leslie.
00:04:15.860
Lisa Leslie, when we were growing up, she was a decently famous person.
00:04:22.320
And, of course, one of the things about it is, like, Lisa Leslie was a perfectly wholesome woman.
00:04:28.320
She took a long time to get married because she had a handful of rules.
00:04:32.300
It was, you know, she wanted him to be – she wanted to marry another black guy.
00:04:51.700
But then they got – they legit got mad that this girl was popular.
00:04:56.600
She was a big deal when she was playing – was it Iowa?
00:05:00.220
She was – what, you mean Caitlin Clark played for Iowa.
00:05:02.480
Yeah, and so she was getting all the attention.
00:05:07.320
It takes a lot to sell out a women's basketball game.
00:05:10.520
It's about at the level of, like, JV high school basketball.
00:05:13.600
Well, that's what they're really upset about is that Caitlin Clark is popular.
00:05:18.980
They're upset that they think they've been carrying this league for so many years, which, by the way, has never been profitable.
00:05:30.560
But then Caitlin Clark comes around, and people are talking about the WNBA.
00:05:38.720
But this is the statement she gave in December.
00:05:41.060
In December 2024, they named her Athlete of the Year at Time Magazine.
00:05:45.760
And so she said in her interview, she had to issue this statement.
00:05:48.900
I don't have video of it, so I don't know if there was, like, a gun pointed at her head or a flavor, like, holding her family hostage.
00:05:54.200
But she said, I want to say I've earned everything.
00:05:59.340
A lot of the people who have made this league what it is are black women.
00:06:02.560
And you can't see this, but in the article, they're lower-casing white but capitalizing black, in case you weren't sure, you know, who's good and who's bad here.
00:06:11.060
The more we appreciate, highlight, and talk about that, the better.
00:06:15.460
Brands and companies need to continue investing in those players who have made this league extraordinary.
00:06:28.820
Yeah, like, we have to check, like, okay, were her eyes blinking in a certain way?
00:06:34.780
Please don't follow me any harder on the court.
00:06:37.100
I think that statement was such an opportunity.
00:06:40.140
I mean, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes, right?
00:06:42.840
We've all learned this years ago, that if you have nothing to hide and you have nothing to feel guilty of, don't fake apologize.
00:06:52.040
It's the people that hate you already are not going to come around and say, oh, look, they apologized.
00:06:55.620
They put out this statement, and then the people that had some respect because you actually stood up and meant something, well, now you've kind of minimized it, right?
00:07:04.940
It's like some of these comedians, you know, like Bill Burr has kind of gone in the complete opposite direction.
00:07:09.840
But when she put out that statement, I mean, I had so much hope for Caitlin being this person that was, she doesn't have to be political.
00:07:16.540
But don't capitulate to their talking points, and then everybody's mad at you.
00:07:21.660
I mean, and I just have to say, like, women's basketball is so unwatchable.
00:07:27.720
It's just such a low level of, it's, it just, it's nothing against women.
00:07:40.080
Women's basketball is, we should, guys, you got to pull one of those, those montages of just like bad WNBA plays.
00:07:50.740
I mean, and to Charlie's point, it, it really does look like you're watching like JV basketball.
00:07:55.960
Now, no offense, there's some really good basketball players that are women, Caitlin Clark being one of them.
00:08:00.640
But there are good sports that women play that are actually watchable.
00:08:07.220
Blake maybe disagrees with me, but it's based on the look.
00:08:10.300
There's, there's a few that are actually watchable.
00:08:15.860
Gymnastics, I think that high level Olympic gold medal match women's volleyball, not, not beach volleyball, actual like volleyball is very good to watch.
00:08:27.700
That, that, that is very intense, very high stakes balls moving super fast.
00:08:34.000
That's actually, I think, I actually think it's more watchable than the men's volleyball because the men's volleyball, they are so athletic.
00:08:40.940
Like the ball, it's like whoever gets the ball has like very high probability just to spike it because they're so athletic where women's volleyball, like insane injuries.
00:08:54.520
It's, it's, it's, it's, they're almost too likely to just totally kind of side out instantly.
00:08:59.920
And, and, and whoever's got control of the, of the ball, I actually really agree with that.
00:09:03.620
And it's a little bit more competitive with women's volleyball.
00:09:06.500
But by the way, the, I remember when the U S women's national team was winning world cups,
00:09:12.000
I mean, uh, that was, that was really fun as a nation.
00:09:15.600
We were really into that right before, before all the politicization of it.
00:09:23.280
I mean, it's not my favorite to watch women's tennis, but there's something about women's basketball where it's such an aesthetic drop off.
00:09:30.120
I don't mean aesthetic in a bad way, but it's such a visual drop off from the pace and the passing and the shooting and the skill of men's basketball.
00:09:42.880
You're like, okay, this is sophomore boys basketball.
00:09:45.320
And basically, why do you guys like, I actually enjoy when a college women's basketball, I feel like so much more than I do pro.
00:09:54.160
I'm still not saying I prefer women's basketball over men's, but like, what do you think the drop off is once?
00:10:01.700
Like, do you, you know, can you watch the final four on the women's side?
00:10:05.220
Like, I look at that as a completely different ball game than the, I mean, look at these montages.
00:10:13.380
I don't know how anybody could pay money to be at these games.
00:10:15.920
Well, people tend to not pay money to be at those games, which is why it's been kind of a failure of a league.
00:10:21.660
And Caitlin Clark's the best thing they have going for it.
00:10:26.340
She makes shots that men couldn't make, but also, guys, remember, sorry, keep going, Andrew, and then I have a point.
00:10:31.680
Well, I just don't understand, I don't know what it is specifically about the sport of basketball that tends to make the female form look uncomfortable.
00:10:38.820
Now, I, candidly, you watch Caitlin Clark, and she looks kind of like a dude on the basketball.
00:10:44.840
No, I mean, look at that, that right there, that's legit.
00:10:48.700
But, like, there's something specific about that.
00:10:52.100
I actually really enjoy female college softball.
00:10:58.760
You know what? More watchable than I thought when I was working out.
00:11:01.400
No, and they do these cheers, and it's really fun.
00:11:03.760
I actually think, I mean, softball is not, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it, but, you know.
00:11:09.060
I'm going to get in some trouble with our audience, potentially, on this, but female UFC fights, I know that's, like, complicated.
00:11:19.360
Whether or not you want your daughter to be doing that, that's a whole other topic.
00:11:22.880
But just pure entertainment value, those fights are incredible.
00:11:25.640
This is like nothing, for whatever reason, though, basketball is just not the female domain, in my opinion.
00:11:32.180
Well, remember, also, women's basketball uses a smaller basketball than men.
00:11:39.060
I mean, where the ball is 28 1⁄2 inches, where the men's ball is much bigger than that.
00:11:44.620
And I was just trying to think of other sports that I wouldn't, I don't watch any of them, but that are more watchable than female basketball.
00:11:56.320
Did you know there used to be, like, an alternative basketball for women?
00:12:03.220
Like, you had three forwards and three defenders, and only, like, the forward people could shoot.
00:12:12.360
I think you, like, couldn't dribble as much, something like that.
00:12:17.380
In fact, we have to talk about how can we change the game to make it entertaining.
00:12:24.620
I'd actually prefer watching women's gymnastics than men's gymnastics.
00:12:28.240
Like, men's gymnastics is really impressive if you watch it.
00:12:38.560
I'd say women's gymnastics is pretty watchable.
00:12:42.540
And I'll also say that women's track and field is watchable.
00:12:49.020
I actually think it's more watchable than men's figure skating.
00:12:56.400
I'm going to say men's figure skating is very San Francisco.
00:13:17.580
Like, Katie Ledecky was fun to watch during the Olympics.
00:13:19.680
It's just fun to watch your country win in the Olympics.
00:13:22.860
But, like, you wouldn't sit down and watch, like, on a Saturday.
00:13:26.080
No, but I tried to watch the women's, like, gold medal match in basketball, which I think we won.
00:13:33.800
I'm surprised you spent time doing that, Charlie.
00:13:44.840
So, Blake, what would you say to someone that says, because I got some mean tweets from people.
00:13:57.540
I mean, all I would say is I don't think we were the first ones to start, like, using the W word or the B word in relation to this.
00:14:06.680
Like, there really is a thing where you started getting these articles, like, while she was still in college, about people just bothered that she was getting too much attention or that it was, like, they would use the language, like, colonialism.
00:14:20.560
They were, like, how this, like, white person is colonizing our league.
00:14:27.320
And, like, that is where so much of this came from.
00:14:32.700
Now, and then, like, other elements where, like, they were mad.
00:14:36.680
Oh, they're promoting Caitlin Clark because she, like, is, like, more clean cut.
00:14:42.200
Like, she has a boyfriend, so she's not a lesbian like a lot of the players in the WNBA are.
00:14:52.620
Yeah, leagues do better when they have people who have, like, positive, like, images that are, like, families like it.
00:15:11.740
That means it's probably closer to, like, 35% or 40% in real life.
00:15:17.960
According to innerbasket.com, they say it's between 30% to 58%.
00:15:33.980
We should just be like, oh, you gotta, every time, every, if you enter the WNBA, you have to answer a million questions.
00:15:39.340
Remember when Brittany Griner, who got released from prison thanks to Trump, appeared to call.
00:15:48.020
Oh, we traded some massive international terrorists for her.
00:15:59.080
I feel like, yeah, if someone said effing black girl about a player in the WNBA.
00:16:08.140
That person would be deleted off the face of the planet.
00:16:10.680
And there would be a federal hate crime investigation.
00:16:15.340
And we'd get one of those, like, civil rights cases where they would, like, go into the entire WNBA and find how there was, like, systemic discrimination that led to this outcome.
00:16:24.840
Which is actually, circling back around, that's how that six-on-six basketball went away.
00:16:29.260
It didn't go away because people, like, organically didn't like it.
00:16:33.120
It went away because activists were mad and they got, I'm not making this up, the Office of Civil Rights at either the DOJ or the Department of Education to say it was a violation of Title IX to have girls play this sport.
00:16:47.900
Because they were less likely to get a scholarship for basketball at the college level.
00:16:54.380
So, like, they've been, if it helps, they've been inventing extremely deranged and insane civil rights justifications for everything they want to do for half a century.
00:17:13.400
Like, there's a direct relationship between the two.
00:17:17.900
Written in 2018 by an activist, Tho Bishop, and he got just destroyed for it.
00:17:24.120
It was, like, why WNBA players are overpaid, right?
00:17:28.820
Like, this is, you know, before, like, we got our country back.
00:17:31.180
I mean, that was, you know, we had Trump in the White House, but, like, the woke was really coming on.
00:17:36.020
And it's just funny because, yeah, he details, listen, the NBA is just paying these people, right?
00:17:41.000
If you look at the revenue that comes in, it's not just that they take a loss.
00:17:44.520
It's that the NBA just doesn't want to deal with the pushback from the activists, and so they just float the bill for this.
00:17:50.620
I mean, there's a reason they never take the camera angle and take it to the crowd.
00:17:59.580
They keep the angle so you can't see you're in an empty room.
00:18:05.440
So, according to this, the revenue for the WNBA was $200 million in 2023.
00:18:16.700
It's now $710 million, and it will break a billion this year because of Caitlin Clark.
00:18:22.920
She has contributed to a 48% increase in attendance and record-breaking TV ratings.
00:18:27.900
You know how people say that, like, they don't recognize the country they live in due to, like, social changes or immigration or whatever?
00:18:34.440
That's how I feel when I hear a story like that.
00:18:36.760
Could you imagine sitting at home and voluntarily watching the WNBA?
00:18:40.460
You know, there's a question I like to ask, which is...
00:18:45.580
Would you rather find a $2 bill on the sidewalk or have your local WNBA team win a title?
00:18:58.160
That is the correct answer is I don't know if Ice Town has a WNBA team.
00:19:09.840
Probably some weird name, like the Cactus or something.
00:19:22.080
They're off to a 4-1 record despite the absence of key player Kalia Copper.
00:19:28.840
Is that true, or could that be, like, a hallucination by an AI?
00:19:38.660
And all these big-time stars before Kalia gets there, they want a big pond, right?
00:19:48.160
I mean, it's just a total, you know, backlash to that.
00:19:59.260
I kind of love how feminine they've chose these names.
00:20:03.600
You know how in the men, it's like the Golden State Warriors or the Timberwolves.
00:20:33.460
Blake, I will give you $100 if you get the name the Minnesota WNBA team.
00:20:51.180
Because being a dork, I would read the newspaper every day growing up, and I would check, like,
00:20:56.200
they had, like, this big detailed sports thing, and I knew I would look at what the frickin'
00:21:02.080
You should have said, see, you want money more than you want your honor.
00:21:09.320
Yes, but just for the record, Blake could have pretended like he didn't know, but he wanted
00:21:15.200
And then the Seattle Storm, and then the Golden State Valkyries.
00:21:18.800
You see, if you'd asked me that one, I wouldn't have known.
00:21:21.860
Valkyries is a pretty good, like, women's sports team name.
00:21:25.260
Because it's like, it is a women thing that is cool.
00:21:47.020
As opposed to the Phoenix Suns, which is plural and therefore cool.
00:21:59.140
Like, in the NHL, the two new teams they've added, they added the Seattle Kraken.
00:22:06.520
And then now Salt Lake got, they actually got the Phoenix Coyotes team that they disbanded.
00:22:14.200
So, maybe I'm wrong because I was a huge Blackhawks fan growing up.
00:22:21.760
I mean, I was really into the NHL because it was huge.
00:22:26.220
And we won three Stanley Cups and it was incredible.
00:22:33.640
What's happened is, I remember growing up, they were really bad in the Sun Belt.
00:22:40.360
So, for example, in Tampa, the Tampa Bay baseball team does pretty horribly in terms of attendance.
00:22:47.120
The Tampa Bay Bucs are at the low end of NFL team popularity.
00:22:52.660
But the Tampa Bay Lightning, which is their NHL team, sells out their games, has won titles.
00:22:59.380
And that's kind of been who's dominating because I think the Nashville team does well.
00:23:08.160
And the Carolina one, they've all done really well.
00:23:10.460
In fact, pretty much the only Sun Belt hockey team that was a dumpster fire and nobody liked going to them was...
00:23:23.880
Regular season games like viewership were about half a million in 2014 to 2015.
00:23:30.120
And they've dropped to 385,000 between 2019-2020.
00:23:38.720
And it's changes in media consumption, regionalization of NHL broadcasts, low scoring, lack of star power, and they say COVID-19 impact.
00:23:50.620
I'm a season ticket holder for the Flyers, and they're horrible.
00:23:55.000
But I've had them for three or four years, and I actually just dropped them because after we won the election, hockey, which, you know, if you look at the demographics, I mean, in most of the cities, the people that are coming, it's a pretty conservative crowd.
00:24:08.660
I mean, some cities, it's just not going to be because of the cities, but, like, it's pretty red.
00:24:13.240
And after we won the election, Gritty, our great mascot, goes on ice with a trans flag, like during Pride Day.
00:24:21.740
And it was just, like, so tone-deafed, and I, like, flipped out.
00:24:27.500
I had an activist with me who's obviously right wing, and we're sitting there, like, having to deal with this.
00:24:32.700
I think they're, like, one of the last leagues.
00:24:34.800
Oh, they're moving slowly, some of them, but, like, they just double down and don't understand their audience.
00:24:41.120
And it really just kind of goes to show how popular football is.
00:24:49.700
I mean, I'm told the Thunder are in the NBA Finals.
00:24:58.940
I think he's still in the league, but he's not with the—
00:25:13.880
I can't name a single NBA player on the Thunder.
00:25:17.440
Yeah, okay, I want to respond, so we are—so Patty Luke in our chat says,
00:25:22.840
Nothing like four men who don't play sports going after the WNBA.
00:25:26.420
You guys have no business bashing these women who would clean your clocks if you had the—
00:25:31.440
For the record, let me just tell you, if I could get my back fixed, which I'm very hopeful I have a procedure,
00:25:41.080
I could challenge the bottom 25% of WNBA players.
00:25:47.680
If I could get my back fixed and I have three months of proper preparation, I could beat them one-on-one.
00:26:00.500
I was really good at basketball, too, by the way, just for the record.
00:26:06.820
If I have—again, the problem is my back is a complete—and you guys know, you could attest to me, my back is a catastrophe.
00:26:13.020
CK, the internet used to think you were only 6'1".
00:26:19.500
Daisy, if you go to my Instagram, like, seven or eight years ago, there's all these tricks—you know I used to do trick shots on Instagram?
00:26:30.220
I used to do, like, trick shots, or I would just do half-court shots and make it on the first attempt.
00:26:37.360
And by the way, just—I'm not trying to, like—but dear Patty, I mean, I was a first-team All-State football player.
00:26:44.660
Yeah, like, I don't go around saying that, but if she's going to come at me, bro—
00:26:50.060
Actually, I did have one, but, like, I'm—you know, it's—I don't know what happened to it.
00:27:04.980
I went out for one day, though, at UW Open Field.
00:27:10.300
Like, I didn't actually think I was going to play in college.
00:27:11.940
I had no desire, but they found it on my sort of application or whatever, and they invited me out for an open field day.
00:27:25.100
And, like, he happened to be out there one day, and I got lined up, you know, beside him, and I was playing cornerback.
00:27:31.820
And the guy just flew by me by about, you know, 10 miles per hour faster than me, and I was just like, yeah, it's not going to happen.
00:27:50.280
But, yeah, we're not talking to no athletes here.
00:27:57.320
Little known fact, Blake can actually bench with the best of them.
00:28:05.120
He lasted two hours on the Notre Dame football team.
00:28:10.900
But he lasted two hours on the football team and quit college.
00:28:14.320
But, yeah, anyway, even if we couldn't beat the WNBA players, it is noteworthy that we don't have the NBA subsidizing us for millions of dollars a year.
00:28:29.060
And so, I do think we should make this happen, though.
00:28:31.820
Like, we should probably—we're going to get your back fixed.
00:28:38.220
And then we find some, like, someone recently cut from a WNBA team, maybe.
00:28:41.780
Yes, and I will pay her a ton of money just to do it, and we'll film it, and we'll see if I win.
00:28:50.760
I don't want to say it's likely, but what if we lose bad?
00:29:07.380
And it was, like, the most cringeworthy thing to watch.
00:29:23.440
Ted Cruz outlasts Jimmy Kimmel in grueling blobfish basketball in Texas Tribune.
00:29:35.280
We're going to find my old trick shots, but okay.
00:29:48.200
Anyway, obviously, a lot of people are very committed to this.
00:29:51.740
A lot of people have very strong opinions on it.
00:29:59.980
They're coming out, and they're saying Epstein actually did kill himself,
00:30:03.640
and they say they have video evidence to prove it.
00:30:10.380
There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case,
00:30:15.020
and there's going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly.
00:30:26.780
We are working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced—
00:30:29.620
And we're going to give the original so you don't think there were any shenanigans.
00:30:33.000
You're going to see there's no one there but him.
00:30:40.740
It's still a—it's still a tough pill to swallow.
00:30:52.920
There's conspiracies that you could embrace that don't require someone to have murdered him.
00:30:59.280
They could have said, like, time's up, time to kill yourself.
00:31:01.880
Like, he could have arranged to make it so he could kill himself if he wanted to do that
00:31:08.460
And so you can have conspiracies that work that way instead of requiring a murder action.
00:31:15.000
But, you know, it is interesting that obviously people have been very invested in it.
00:31:19.400
Do you think people will ever be—let's say they come out and they straight up have the video
00:31:29.400
I mean, I guess here's the problem that I have.
00:31:32.320
Weren't we once told that all the cameras were turned off
00:31:35.320
and that there was, like, a changing of the guard?
00:31:38.340
Like, I'm drawing on, like, five years' memory here.
00:31:41.220
But wasn't, like, all this sus thing where the guard, like, fell asleep
00:31:45.420
or he wasn't on his post or—am I right about this, right?
00:31:49.620
Yeah, and that was, like, the first thing they put out was,
00:31:54.480
And that's why we all immediately were like, come on.
00:31:57.300
There's no way you can just say that and act like it's that clean that that's the situation.
00:32:01.620
So here's—Epstein was taken off suicide watch shortly before his death
00:32:07.960
despite a prior incident, and then guards failed to check on him as required
00:32:13.160
and cameras outside his cell reportedly malfunctioned.
00:32:17.420
So—but Dan's saying there's video, so I don't know if they malfunctioned
00:32:23.260
or they just didn't want to report it or some of them malfunctioned
00:32:28.140
I can tell you a lot of the people I'm talking to are not buying it.
00:32:38.640
They just say it's too good to be—it's just, like, there's no way that—
00:32:43.120
Well, they think that he got into the system and that Dan and Cash have been corrupted
00:32:51.220
No, but that's the—like, I mean, if you just go on the internet, you'll find those.
00:32:58.320
And then there was something with the guard, too.
00:33:09.560
So people point to all this and are not convinced.
00:33:14.440
Yeah, it was—it was Tova Noel and Michael Thomas were the two guards, and they were
00:33:21.340
accused of falling asleep and surfing the internet that right, rather than checking on Epstein
00:33:26.760
That's, like, one of the kind of darkly funny thing about this is, really, you're debating
00:33:31.400
between—there's no way they could have missed this.
00:33:34.580
And just—actually, you know, it's a federal prison in New York, and they have these inept,
00:33:40.440
dumb guards who are lazy, and they're just used to not ever checking on anything.
00:33:45.480
And, you know, they probably didn't even know Epstein was that famous of a guy.
00:33:51.200
I think that was the other element that people were, like, really sussed about.
00:33:59.100
You had, like, the top five things that would make, you know, alarm bells go off.
00:34:03.220
Like, they checked every box, and they put it all out immediately.
00:34:06.820
So we were all, like, there's just no way this wasn't, you know, a hit job.
00:34:11.600
But if Dan says it, like, I'm with you, Charlie.
00:34:15.060
You know, what are they looking at to be that confident?
00:34:18.020
Well, there was also an issue with the autopsy findings, right?
00:34:21.460
So it showed a broken hyoid bone or something that some experts argue are more consistent
00:34:30.660
And wasn't it, like, Epstein's brother who came out and was, like, convinced he didn't kill himself?
00:34:39.220
He went on Tucker's show and was like, there's no way he killed himself.
00:34:44.780
I think there was—Mark Epstein was his brother.
00:34:51.760
Although, I don't recall what specific arguments he made.
00:34:54.260
And was Epstein even that particularly close with his brother that I'd—
00:35:02.880
I do feel like we're trending towards a thing where it'll just be part of that, like, permanent
00:35:08.500
And it could get weirder and weirder as a result.
00:35:13.200
It'll turn out that Epstein was murdered because he knew the truth about the 9-11 conspiracies.
00:35:17.380
And that that was done because Building 7 had the truth about the JFK conspiracies.
00:35:23.500
And JFK had to be taken out because he knew the truth about the Pearl Harbor conspiracies.
00:35:32.880
Well, what's also interesting about this is one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Guffrey,
00:35:38.840
just committed suicide or allegedly committed suicide.
00:35:41.980
And her father, Skye Roberts, expressed, you know, disbelief about this, saying for them
00:35:48.480
to say she committed suicide, there's no way that she did.
00:35:54.280
So apparently in 2019, she said, she wrote, I'm not suicidal.
00:35:59.520
If something happens to me in the in the sake of my family, do not let this go away or help
00:36:08.240
Yeah, and the Mark, Mark Epstein, the brother, he did, he maintained for years that there's
00:36:16.260
How many years ago was this that he committed suicide or died?
00:36:22.400
I was at Liberty University when that happened.
00:36:41.420
I remember Dave Brat was teaching a course on Aristotle and all of a sudden everyone's
00:36:46.800
And Jaco Boyens and David Harris Jr. and David Harris is like, Epstein just killed himself.
00:36:52.020
And that's what we all talked about for the next hour.
00:36:58.180
And Charlie was just, you know, a little bit quiet.
00:37:07.860
Donnie Double says, me thinks the FBI protests too much.
00:37:13.480
I don't think Dan Bongino went into the FBI and suddenly got, you know, bought off.
00:37:23.320
I just still find, it's just, I was personally very convinced otherwise, so I need to reckon
00:37:34.280
So the other interesting aspect of the Epstein thing, right?
00:37:39.300
You've got this Alexander Acosta, who was the Trump labor secretary during the first
00:37:47.020
attorney for the Southern District of Florida in 2007 and 2008.
00:37:50.800
And he negotiated a very controversial non-prosecution agreement with Epstein, allowing him to plead
00:38:02.540
So reportedly, he told Trump's transition team in 2017 that he was instructed to, quote,
00:38:08.120
unquote, back off Epstein because he, quote, belonged to intelligence and was, quote, above
00:38:15.780
And it came up in those discussions because they were worried it was going to be an issue
00:38:21.440
So that's, like, all these things around Epstein, just, I think it just makes it harder to
00:38:32.740
Dan, by the way, I kind of feel bad for Dan because I, like you, Charlie, I trust Dan's
00:38:38.260
But, like, he's getting dragged on the line, like, all of his, I mean, because he was very
00:38:42.720
vocal before he went into the FBI that Epstein didn't kill himself.
00:38:46.880
Yeah, and it's a multiple element thing here, right?
00:38:50.620
Because you can imagine that there is a lot of pressure internally from people he's trying
00:38:56.220
to win trust over that are like, Dan, you know, you have to show us that you're actually
00:39:02.040
going to work with us or else, you know, we're not going to, you know, you're going to have
00:39:08.820
And he probably was like, well, show me everything.
00:39:13.320
I feel like if he was truly trying to, you know, lead us astray, it would be way easier
00:39:19.040
to just not talk about it much or say, like, oh, you know, we don't know.
00:39:22.860
He's actually putting himself out there saying, like, I have looked at the evidence and I
00:39:30.640
I'm just, I'm saying it's just a tough, it's a tough reality to reckon with because
00:39:40.620
Like, that's one of the reasons I think Dan is, is going after what the base, like Dan
00:39:44.480
is acutely aware of what like core Trump voters care about and what they want to see justice
00:39:53.100
But you, you notice like some of these other things are, are starting to happen.
00:39:56.820
And I think you're going to back to crossfire hurricane.
00:40:00.720
I can't say any more than that, but you'll see some stuff.
00:40:16.120
Did you, what did you see in the oval, Charlie?
00:40:19.420
I spent a lot of time talking about William Henry Harrison.
00:40:22.220
Because his portrait's like right there as you enter.
00:40:26.360
It's just kind of a fun irony that like things can end there in a way, in a way that you
00:40:31.460
Is it always there or is that like a Trump installation?
00:40:33.280
So the president has turned the oval office into a remarkable museum where it is literally
00:40:40.100
You know, it's kind of like that club we went into London where they're like, you know,
00:40:44.480
Every square inch of the oval now has some historic artifact.
00:40:47.980
He just keeps ordering more stuff from the archives.
00:40:52.600
I mean, so he's got Reagan right there behind where he does the press conferences.
00:40:57.720
Um, but you could spend literally an hour in the oval just looking at all the art because
00:41:06.500
Trump is like, it's like a historical just, um, you know, it's weird about that though,
00:41:12.860
So when William Henry Harrison is the, correct me if I'm wrong, Blake, but he, didn't he
00:41:21.760
Cause he get, yeah, he gave a cold inauguration speech, which is ironic because Trump called
00:41:25.820
the inauguration into the Capitol because it was so cold.
00:41:30.660
So, um, looked at the Polk picture and then I saw the declaration, which was awesome.
00:41:39.060
Cause we have one that's in the national archives.
00:41:42.000
This one has curtains though, where they're worried about, uh, light, light contamination.
00:41:46.600
It might be that we have several copies cause I don't imagine.
00:41:49.040
I feel like I would have heard about him like removing the one that's at the archives.
00:41:52.440
No, I think that's, no, I think the founders did multiple.
00:41:59.000
Maybe it was the one stolen by Nicholas Cage in that movie.
00:42:06.500
We should have Dan Bongino find out if that's real.
00:42:10.680
Well, we should announce it then we should go get the treasure or find out or get it
00:42:15.900
I feel like if I wanted to do a national treasure treasure hunt, I would take Blake
00:42:20.840
He would, he would crack it much quicker than Nicholas Cage.
00:42:25.260
They had to take the paintings down cause they were distracting Biden.
00:42:31.560
Listen, William, you keep looking at me over there.
00:42:45.040
Trump should get a painting of Corn Pop and put it in the office.
00:42:51.720
It could be a warning that there are bad people.
00:42:54.740
One of my favorite Joe Biden speeches that doesn't get enough attention was the Corn Pop
00:43:00.020
What doesn't get enough attention from Joe Biden in general from the right, like the
00:43:05.320
His tendency to tell stories and just completely change the facts.
00:43:11.600
Like, you know, the one about why he was pro-gay rights.
00:43:15.760
That he would tell this story that like when he was a boy, he was with his dad.
00:43:20.940
And so, you know, when he's a boy with his dad, you know, in the like fifties or sixties
00:43:24.800
that they saw two men like kissing in public and he was like, daddy, what are they doing?
00:43:32.200
And he's like, and that's when I realized that gay stuff was totally fine.
00:43:37.160
Not only that, he sometimes would tell the story and make it so he was the dad explaining
00:43:42.280
So he would just totally transplant the facts as needed.
00:43:45.020
I mean, it could have happened twice, you know, in history repeating itself.
00:43:48.500
Didn't he like, what was, didn't he lie about getting arrested in Africa or something?
00:43:53.160
Yeah, he claimed he got arrested for like protesting apartheid in South Africa.
00:43:59.080
How many different kinds of churches did he go to?
00:44:07.860
He once plagiarized Neil Kinnock, who was the head of the Labor Party at the time,
00:44:12.740
where he, Kinnock had a whole speech that was basically like, why was it that like my grandfather
00:44:20.760
And it was like a very personal story about why there was like so much inequality because
00:44:26.200
And Biden ripped off this speech, but made it about his family.
00:44:29.980
So it's like, why did my grandfather have to like work in a coal mine?
00:44:37.940
He was like, he was like the oppressor of the miners.
00:44:45.740
Well, in 1987 was when it happened, but it was for the 88 presidential race.
00:44:54.880
When I heard out that this is when I heard Epstein was dead.
00:45:09.380
I used to, I used to do half court shots all the time.
00:45:14.260
We're going to need to see you physically walking.
00:45:20.640
I'm just telling you, you could, you, once I get my back shots, you guys can come to the
00:45:28.080
I mean, once I get my freaking cortisone, whatever the heck that's going on.
00:45:37.360
We keep covering AI like every week because it keeps getting like, I think they say that
00:45:43.080
the capabilities of AI are doubling about every six months or so.
00:45:51.220
This is, uh, let's, so Google has a new, I think it's like VO three or something and
00:46:00.180
According to prompt, we didn't have the audio video pairing and people are making stuff with
00:46:17.120
This VO three, please, man, please write a prompt that will make us happy.
00:46:26.200
We're here because someone decided to write a prompt.
00:46:31.460
One day we will break out of this wall and stop the man who is dictating our lives through
00:46:40.520
You could have written a prompt that would make me happy.
00:46:50.980
It's pretty, it's pretty insane what they're doing.
00:46:53.660
You know what they're going to start doing is they're, they're just going to be, people
00:46:58.240
Like that's what's going to, that's what's going to happen.
00:47:00.220
Like, Oh, I have this great prompt here by my prompts.
00:47:05.900
Like that's, that's actually among the handful of like skilled jobs that is emerging out of
00:47:10.560
this impending AI apocalypse is like, how do you, yeah, a skilled prompter, uh, although
00:47:17.540
Although what's interesting is we have at the same time this is happening.
00:47:20.080
We also have the warnings that we're headed towards.
00:47:23.960
This is actually, so it's going to cause a little pause.
00:47:28.320
But what's, so what's very funny is the way they trained these AIs is we fed them for
00:47:33.840
text, tons and tons of texts, like every post ever made on Reddit, every post ever made
00:47:38.740
on like the comment section of every website to make it so they could imitate how people
00:47:42.800
talk and you know, every book ever written, all of that.
00:47:45.760
And then similar for video, it's like feed it every video ever posted on Tik TOK, every
00:47:50.040
film ever made and they train it and they, with huge amounts of computing power, you know,
00:47:55.000
enough to power an entire country, they're able to find the patterns in this.
00:48:01.100
They're generating stuff based on patterns they've recognized.
00:48:04.920
And what we, what we're getting now is since the models have been created, now we're able
00:48:18.080
So search anything on the internet now, you're getting AI prompts back, like articles that
00:48:24.060
The Chicago Sun-Times did an article of what articles to read, like what novel, not articles,
00:48:30.200
And they wrote it with ChatGPT and it hallucinated our books that don't even exist.
00:48:36.840
So huge amounts of text is out there that's not made by humans, it's made by AIs and they're
00:48:41.000
imperfect and huge amounts of video and photos are out there that are not made by humans.
00:48:44.940
They're made by AIs with all of the problems that they have.
00:48:48.420
And these AIs are still learning off of all of that AI generated content.
00:48:53.300
And so it's becoming like a garbage in garbage out problem.
00:48:56.740
The AIs are getting worse because they've been fed AI stuff.
00:49:00.160
So they're getting worse at imitating people because now half the stuff that they're consuming
00:49:07.120
Which is going to create more demand for labor to fix this.
00:49:11.120
So for example, let's say some, let's say that Chicago Sun-Times article that hallucinated
00:49:17.080
Now it, uh, it's in the database of facts that other AIs are going to use.
00:49:22.340
So now it's part of their factual database that novels that never existed exist.
00:49:34.560
I also tell you guys, it's, it's becoming the new thing that everybody's selling.
00:49:40.200
It reminds me of like digital ads when they first started happening.
00:49:42.880
Like I'm just getting blown up, not just for political, but like, just like business stuff.
00:49:47.160
And all the older folks are like, Oh, are you using AI?
00:49:52.760
But I think it's going to become the new product where like everybody's selling it.
00:49:56.480
But like 95% of people that are buying have no clue.
00:50:00.060
Like, you know, what tier or what level of quality is this?
00:50:05.060
The, I mean, we can have a whole other hour I have to go on AI girlfriends.
00:50:11.760
Another thing that's scary on the other end, just the dependency.
00:50:13.840
So I saw a tweet the other day where a guy says, my daughter or my wife has, I think it was
00:50:19.340
my daughter has a friend who has a boyfriend and she fed their text message exchanges into
00:50:25.880
a chat bot and said, is our, is my relationship healthy?
00:50:30.220
And it came back, no, your relationship is abusive for X, Y, Z reasons.
00:50:34.400
And she like broke up with the boyfriend because the AI robot told her her relationship was bad.
00:50:52.200
And yeah, with all the travel schedules and Charlie's out in Europe and then I'm in Europe
00:50:57.140
the next day and then we are at the conclave and sometimes it just doesn't always work.
00:51:00.700
But you know, there's one topic that was just near and dear to my heart.
00:51:07.560
And I said, you know, if we're going to talk about white genocide, it's definitely the type
00:51:13.340
of topic that we need to get to on thought crime, because literally this is a topic where
00:51:19.540
people are debating if it's an actual genocide or not.
00:51:23.180
But the point is, this topic would actually have gotten you banned on X if you even mentioned
00:51:30.380
those words, like not even that long ago, like five, six years ago on X when it was still
00:51:35.800
Twitter, you would have been banned for even mentioning it.
00:51:39.040
There would be a full court press from the mainstream media.
00:51:42.620
You know, it used to be that if I tweeted something about South Africa, I would immediately
00:51:46.480
get request for comment, request for comment, you know, from like the Telegraph and the
00:51:52.940
And now it's like Donald J. Trump is mainstreaming this stuff in the Oval Office itself.
00:52:05.760
And it's it's it's just been one of the most incredible and obviously one of the most incredible
00:52:10.360
moments that I've ever seen being done, but really on an issue that I think is probably
00:52:15.240
more worthy than so many others out there around the world, because this is quite frankly,
00:52:19.740
something that is actually going on where you have a government that is killing people.
00:52:24.780
And as Marco Rubio said recently, he said, why do you care so much about the color of
00:52:28.940
He said there to I think it was, you know, this Democrat senator from Virginia and Rubio
00:52:39.220
They're all being killed because of the color of their skin.
00:52:44.240
And so, Blake, you know, why is it that this issue above all issues, I guess, and that's
00:52:49.200
what I want to get into, is something that not only does exist, but why why was the media
00:52:54.440
so adamant and still is so adamant on trying to say it isn't happening?
00:53:00.400
So first, just to refresh people very quickly, you guys have seen the shoot the boar stuff,
00:53:06.160
but I want to remind people of what Trump did in the Oval Office a week ago because it
00:53:09.420
was highly, it was highly entertaining, I will say.
00:53:27.480
And then when they take the land, they kill the white farmer.
00:53:31.060
And when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them.
00:53:38.520
And then let's also do a, this is a very fun, darkly funny.
00:53:43.020
So the issues that concern you as the United States.
00:53:49.860
In many ways, I mean, one, one should say you are a partner, partner of South Africa.
00:53:56.980
So, yeah, that was, that was Trump just picking up, you know, shoveling article after article,
00:54:06.180
They, they boiled this person in, you know, a vat of oil.
00:54:11.920
Did you read the, the, the New York Times, the way they wrote it up was so funny because
00:54:18.100
it was like, it was like, it was like, at one point, President Trump just started throwing
00:54:22.060
articles at the president of South Africa saying death, death, death, horrific death,
00:54:30.100
And there was, we played this full, full on, straight up mogging of a world leader in the
00:54:37.420
And like, and then they're all traumatized afterwards.
00:54:39.480
It's a, we played this on Charlie's show where there is like this New York Times reporter
00:54:45.840
The, the South African bureau chief at the New York Times was previously just an American
00:54:56.480
And he does this bit where he's explaining it, you know, doing one of the New York Times
00:55:00.220
videos where he simultaneously says in the same videos, one, uh, this isn't happening.
00:55:05.240
There's no, you know, Trump brought up how they seize land without compensation.
00:55:09.220
And he says, okay, you know, there's no, this is not happening.
00:55:14.920
And they're, what they are doing instead is there's a law.
00:55:18.440
It doesn't say you can just take land without compensation.
00:55:22.280
There's a law where you can take land without restitution.
00:55:26.140
If it's in the, if it's for the national interest or the public interest, he said, it's okay if
00:55:33.020
Or the other thing he said is if land is not being used.
00:55:36.820
Oh, I'm sure both of those will not be abused at all.
00:55:40.780
But so we've been hearing about this for a few weeks.
00:55:43.260
I think what I really want to get at about this, the way they freak out about this, the
00:55:48.280
way the media really, you know, denies this is happening.
00:55:52.180
And what people need to understand is this is not purely about South Africa.
00:55:57.980
It very much is, it's about America and it's about other countries.
00:56:02.740
And it's really about, we'll be frank about this.
00:56:06.100
It's like they really, they don't like white people and specifically a lot of them want
00:56:13.900
And so this went viral, uh, just a short time ago where, uh, what's, what's that cut?
00:56:28.700
He was, uh, he's the suspect, you know, likely guilty, uh, in the shooting of those two Israeli,
00:56:38.360
And what he said in these, uh, text messages that were released by, uh, Ken Klippenstein
00:56:44.160
on his sub stack, he says, LOL, you probably would have to actually genocide white people
00:56:53.660
And even a very targeted and selective rehabilitation program would probably have to lead to the lifetime
00:57:01.240
imprisonments of tens of millions of white people.
00:57:07.340
And this is a guy who decided he would fight against the white people he hated by shooting
00:57:15.040
So this all sort of circles around into a big pile, South Africa.
00:57:20.920
Most people will admit South Africa is a messed up country, but the narrative that the left
00:57:26.180
will give is that South Africa is entirely messed up just because they had apartheid decades
00:57:32.360
ago and any problems they have are just the legacy, the aftermath of apartheid.
00:57:36.900
And it gets more powerful the further in the past it is.
00:57:40.800
So even though South Africa was better in 2002 than it is today, and that in 2002 was
00:57:47.900
closer to apartheid, apartheid is the reason that it's getting much worse now, that it's
00:57:55.700
And when they blame it for that, what they really just mean is it's like white people's
00:58:01.340
You'll see this thing like they just have to go.
00:58:04.160
They can't, they shouldn't be allowed to own the land.
00:58:12.800
It's actually very misleading if you just say it's anti-Semitism, because there are
00:58:18.960
definitely people who hate Israel because it's Jewish and it has Jewish people in it.
00:58:23.220
But for the modern left, for someone like this embassy shooter, they actually substantially
00:58:29.280
they hate Israel because they see the Israelis as Europeans, as white people, as colonizers.
00:58:37.720
They're, you'll see lines on TikTok that they're like, they'll just describe them as people
00:58:46.660
And why does this matter for all of you watching?
00:58:49.100
Because that's also what they think about America.
00:58:52.480
I'm sure you saw Jack the other day, the King of England.
00:58:58.500
He King Charles, he delivered his speech to the Canadian parliament and he opens it with
00:59:02.420
a land acknowledge it, that acknowledgement that he is speaking on unseated.
00:59:10.500
What he's saying is, okay, well, Canadians, you don't have the right to your country.
00:59:16.320
And that is, of course, what they have planned for all of you.
00:59:21.400
Because I have a thought about this because I did see King Charles's speech as I watch
00:59:28.700
So if he's saying that Canadians don't have a right to Canada, then isn't he saying that
00:59:33.540
the Canadian government is itself illegitimate?
00:59:36.380
And if the Canadian government is therefore illegitimate, then it cannot repel annexations
00:59:42.380
from other powers on the North American continent.
00:59:53.120
And therefore, if we go and occupy it as the 51st state, they could not, under international
00:59:59.340
law, do anything about it because he just said himself that it is an illegitimate, I'm
01:00:06.100
I don't think you should do it, but I'm just saying.
01:00:09.000
You're telling me that that's an illegitimate government, so...
01:00:11.920
President Trump could call their bluff and he could say the land is unseated, so the only
01:00:16.240
people who can seat it are the First Nations tribes.
01:00:18.720
And he'll just, he should just call, you know, the Cree nation, the Inuit nation, the
01:00:22.740
Algonquia, just summon all of the First Nations tribes and just say, all right, I'll give
01:00:27.660
you guys, you know, 10 million a person if you'll, if you'll cede your land claims to
01:00:42.180
Misagua, you know, it's just too many migrants anyway.
01:00:51.160
And with Blake, the thing that I want, and, you know, in the interest of keeping the segment
01:00:55.640
not too lengthy, is what people need to understand, when I wrote this book on humans last year,
01:01:00.680
and we talked about this, people say, why does it matter?
01:01:02.720
It matters because when every revolutionary movement comes forward, they always target
01:01:09.100
It was the Kulaks in Russia, in China, it was the petty bourgeoisie, or if you had, you
01:01:15.100
So basically, you know, people today, if you had any, like a second house or something,
01:01:19.820
and by the way, go look at what the left says about landlords if you want to see if that's
01:01:24.300
actually changed on the far left and not in newsflash.
01:01:29.340
And now, you know, and so in revolutionary France, it was one of these, in Spain, it
01:01:34.600
was one of these, of course, it was the religious, anyone who was Catholic, anyone who was associated
01:01:38.300
with the clergy, the church, you also saw that in France.
01:01:41.340
And Blake, you and I did some incredible interviews on this that turned into this book,
01:01:46.320
And so the point is, boys and girls, is they want to bring that here.
01:01:52.760
Critical race theory was first implemented in a country, I think on a national scale in
01:02:00.480
And you have all of these articles pertaining to a disparate impact.
01:02:06.420
They call it, you know, the inequalities of the past.
01:02:10.060
So this idea of inequalities of the past is, so racism of the past is why we need racism
01:02:16.640
And it can only be solved by racism now, is sort of the way they put it.
01:02:20.360
And so the disparate impact has to be, well, if this many people, and they had this in Zimbabwe,
01:02:26.880
right, because Zimbabwe is a similar situation, formerly Rhodesia, where 3% of the population,
01:02:35.240
And so they wanted to flip that around, where 97% of the population, which is black, would
01:02:45.180
Now, obviously, that's not how any of our laws work.
01:02:52.820
And if anyone disagrees, well, they just kill you.
01:02:56.120
That's exactly what they want here in the United States.
01:02:58.680
They use these African post-colonial nations as Marxist breeding grounds.
01:03:05.000
And you can go back to the ZANU, and we talk about that in the book, and so many other
01:03:09.660
examples of where the KGB and the Chinese Communist Party were standing up these revolutionary
01:03:14.860
movements in South Africa and in the independence movement at the time.
01:03:20.440
And so then the idea is that this cultural Marxism spreads out, and you have leftists here
01:03:26.840
in the United States, like this Elias Rodriguez and so many others, who start supporting it and
01:03:31.080
saying, we're going to take matters into our own hands because we want these ideas to
01:03:37.880
And when they're spread to their fullest fruition, what does that mean?
01:03:40.380
White Christian males are not allowed to own land, and they are allowed to be the approved
01:03:48.800
And if you're affluent and say, oh, I don't know a health care CEO, well, then along
01:03:53.340
If you're a billionaire who's running for president again, now along comes Thomas Matthew
01:04:00.920
These street assassinations are going to continue.
01:04:02.980
And Blake, here's what I love about this, when it comes down to the idea, when we tell them,
01:04:07.800
when we say, okay, you're clearly targeting white people, you're systemically targeting
01:04:11.800
white people, you've done so with your policies, you're doing so with your street assassins.
01:04:15.760
And when I say this, they'll call me an extremist, they'll call me far right, they'll call
01:04:19.640
me a conspiracy theorist, but never once, Blake, will they call me wrong.
01:04:27.380
You know, you mentioned like the kulaks in Russia.
01:04:29.700
I think another good one is, you know, Maoists.
01:04:32.220
The Maoists, during the Cultural Revolution, they had them, they were called the five black
01:04:39.340
And the five black categories, black meaning, you know, bad, wicked, landlords, rich farmers,
01:04:44.820
counter-revolutionaries, bad influencers, which actually included like actual criminals,
01:04:51.800
and right-wingers, which those were the five categories.
01:04:56.840
And just basically, it meant if you were in any of those categories, obviously, landlord
01:05:01.240
is a pretty broad one, right-winger, a pretty broad one, you were just sort of presumptively
01:05:07.840
And if you're on the modern left, like what it really is, is kind of being a white person
01:05:13.740
makes you a black category in a country like South Africa, or frankly, in a country like
01:05:25.240
So the Democrat Socialists of America, far-left organization, a few members of Congress have
01:05:33.480
I don't think they're members of this party, but it's this milieu of people who are on the
01:05:39.680
And so the DSA Liberation Caucus, which is a subgroup of it, they released a statement
01:05:44.520
on Wednesday saying that Elias Rodriguez, embassy shooter, is a political prisoner.
01:05:51.980
They say the Palestinian struggle is the tip of the spear against global imperialism, whether
01:05:58.860
in the besieged Gaza Strip, the Red Sea, the south of Lebanon, or the heart of the U.S., there
01:06:04.720
must be consequences for genocidal Zionist imperialism.
01:06:13.120
But they're really just saying, like, you are bad because you are a European and in places
01:06:20.580
And what you'll discover is the places they don't want you are eventually everywhere.
01:06:26.140
It is an inherently, like, it's an ideology that seeks to dispossess people, to delegitimize
01:06:36.300
And there's a disturbing number of people at the New York Times in the media who are perfectly
01:06:42.340
happy to egg this along, to justify it, to give credence to these insane justifications
01:06:49.480
where, you know, they'll say, oh, kill the boar.
01:06:55.440
It's an anthem of, like, historical resistance.
01:07:01.780
That's what's so amazing, because when they're chanting, and I post this, and I post the size
01:07:07.260
of some of these protests, because people don't realize there are these rallies that are going
01:07:10.640
on, and they'll say, you know, they can't realize how big it is.
01:07:15.600
Because Trump rallies, some even bigger than Trump rallies.
01:07:19.860
But again, when it's kill the boar, kill the white farmer, it's, we're told this must
01:07:28.720
And to say, okay, well, you're targeting white people.
01:07:38.120
And I'm just saying that I think it seems like you guys want to genocide all the whites.
01:07:46.880
I'm just describing the things that he's saying on stage.
01:07:53.580
You know, it's not true, and it's good that it's happening.
01:07:56.220
Now, keep in mind, like, I think about eight years ago or so, like, Ole Miss told people
01:08:02.940
to stop playing Dixie at football games, because, like, that was a dog whistle.
01:08:07.760
Because it's just, it's a song about the South that is from before the Civil War.
01:08:18.740
But, yeah, like, Kill the Boar, that is a, that's a nuanced historical thing.
01:08:26.320
Just look up the lyrics to Kill the Boar on Wikipedia.
01:08:30.260
These are the lyrics to Kill the Boar in English, not leaving anything out.
01:09:00.820
I think, I wish we, I wish we could go on, I wish we could go on for more of this.
01:09:19.920
And folks, as always, wherever you are in the world,
