00:00:00.000 You know, melanoma, skin cancer.
00:00:02.000 We're like, yeah, well, that's actually because of those Mexican slowriders. 1.00
00:00:05.000 Like, what is it?
00:00:06.000 No, it's like, that's us.
00:00:06.000 It's just we have fair skin.
00:00:08.000 We have fair.
00:00:08.000 It's a white.
00:00:09.000 We're not blaming black people.
00:00:10.000 That's our problem.
00:00:11.000 I have an idea.
00:00:12.000 Maybe, maybe.
00:00:14.000 Maybe we stop with all the PSAs.
00:00:16.000 Maybe we're getting in the way of survival of the fittest a little too much.
00:00:19.000 I think that's a good thing.
00:00:20.000 If you were considering moving into New Zealand, maybe you're not now.
00:00:23.000 That's true.
00:00:24.000 I just mean maybe if we like, you know, maybe don't pay attention to these things.
00:00:28.000 You know, like maybe if we just throw peanut butter at the world, eventually this problem solves itself.
00:00:31.000 You know what I mean?
00:00:32.000 The peanut allergy thing kind of goes away.
00:00:33.000 The problem solves itself.
00:00:34.000 If you're huffing gasoline, maybe you deserve some consequences.
00:00:37.000 If you're going to stand on train tracks for a train, maybe it's like, you know, eventually maybe people won't stand on train tracks.
00:00:42.000 Oh, and maybe we give like a DIY subsidy to people who do their trans surgeries at home.
00:00:47.000 Yes.
00:00:48.000 Ah, that's good.
00:00:49.000 Yeah, we'll give you a $5,000 subsidy, especially if you buy your tools at, well, I guess Bed Bath isn't around anymore.
00:00:57.000 What would be the William Sonoma?
00:00:59.000 I love that.
00:01:00.000 We're going to give you a $500 William Sonoma gift card.
00:01:04.000 A free copy of Mutilation for Dummies.
00:01:05.000 Yes, exactly.
00:01:06.000 There you go.
00:01:07.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:07.000 Problem solves itself.
00:01:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:10.000 Yeah, I think you're right.
00:01:11.000 Maybe like, you know, we had a few too many PSAs that don't play with blasting caps, and a few generations later, we end up with the trans extravaganza. 0.99
00:01:17.000 Absolutely dude.
00:01:18.000 You know what the Bible does?
00:01:19.000 There's no PSA.
00:01:20.000 Transaganza?
00:01:21.000 Trans Aganza.
00:01:21.000 Yeah.
00:01:22.000 Oh, yeah.
00:01:23.000 The Bible's not like, hey, make sure you go and work so that you can eat.
00:01:25.000 It's like, if he's hungry, he'll work so he can eat.
00:01:28.000 Let his stomach be his guide.
00:01:29.000 Move on to the next project.
00:01:31.000 I know.
00:01:33.000 My stomach's my guide, but that's how I got food poisoning.
00:01:35.000 Oh, well.
00:01:35.000 So did I. I had bad beef the other day.
00:01:37.000 Bad beef?
00:01:38.000 Oh, yeah.
00:01:38.000 You told me that.
00:01:39.000 Yeah.
00:01:39.000 From an unlikely source.
00:01:41.000 It was pre-cooked beef from Costco.
00:01:43.000 That's usually fine.
00:01:44.000 And it smelled like poop.
00:01:45.000 And then I had a bite and I was like, it tastes like poop.
00:01:48.000 And I just spat it out.
00:01:49.000 And then I didn't sleep all night because my stomach was going, remember me?
00:01:52.000 I tell you what, I got a hot dog yesterday from Costco for lunch.
00:01:55.000 Me and Johnny Boy, we got Costco hot dogs.
00:01:56.000 Yeah.
00:01:57.000 I felt, I was like, ooh, this is kind of iffy because Steven told me about it.
00:02:00.000 No, no, that's fine.
00:02:01.000 That's fine.
00:02:01.000 It's just a specific, or as Gerald refers to, the best hot dog on earth, period, bar none.
00:02:06.000 It's a good hot dog for the money.
00:02:08.000 There is not a better hot dog than Costco.
00:02:11.000 It is pretty good, though.
00:02:12.000 It's good.
00:02:12.000 I don't know what it's made of, but it's pretty good.
00:02:14.000 I mean, it's a hot dog.
00:02:15.000 It's a very good hot dog.
00:02:16.000 It's a good hot dog.
00:02:17.000 It's not the best hot dog ever in the history of the world.
00:02:19.000 They just go to churos, though.
00:02:20.000 I love Glizzy's.
00:02:22.000 Let's go to, again, not all cultures being created equal. 0.92
00:02:26.000 And I know I've already made the case because like two people die every minute from trains in India, mostly because they're taking selfies.
00:02:32.000 Not people on the trains.
00:02:33.000 No, not people on the trains.
00:02:34.000 Just like this.
00:02:35.000 Don't I look cool?
00:02:38.000 Well, you did.
00:02:39.000 It's their natural predator.
00:02:42.000 So I hope I don't die recording myself.
00:02:45.000 I know, ever.
00:02:46.000 Yeah.
00:02:47.000 But it would be like there's a difference dying recording yourself.
00:02:52.000 If you're like, you die because you're recording yourself and, you know, I don't know, some act of God happens and you get struck by lightning and it's not even storming.
00:02:58.000 People are like, well, that was kind of cool.
00:02:59.000 It's not as embarrassing as dying, recording yourself in front of what everyone can see is very clearly and predictably an object that is about to kill you in three, two.
00:03:12.000 So of course, all cultures equal.
00:03:14.000 Who could forget India's PSA, the Pooh in the Loo campaign, a real campaign. 0.65
00:03:23.000 More train tracks.
00:03:25.000 Why would they do that?
00:03:43.000 Wait, can I see the hand again, please?
00:03:44.000 Yeah, bring that back.
00:03:45.000 Because I'm going to say that almost seemed pro-poop on train tracks.
00:03:48.000 Yeah.
00:03:49.000 Watching it.
00:03:49.000 Like, they were all having a party on the train tracks.
00:03:52.000 Can you pause the very last?
00:03:55.000 Applejack, we believe in you.
00:03:57.000 You can do this.
00:03:58.000 Oh, no, keep going.
00:04:00.000 Keep going.
00:04:01.000 Aw, come on, man.
00:04:03.000 What's in the cans?
00:04:04.000 Is that gasoline?
00:04:05.000 Okay, hold on, pause.
00:04:06.000 Is this shit ever going to end?
00:04:08.000 India?
00:04:09.000 India has over 620 million people defecating in the open.
00:04:15.000 They said it themselves.
00:04:20.000 Guys, okay, look, India. 0.98
00:04:21.000 This is not hard to figure out.
00:04:23.000 It's not.
00:04:24.000 Animals use the corner.
00:04:28.000 But no.
00:04:28.000 But no.
00:04:29.000 But no, I do it here.
00:04:30.000 Like, it's almost like you have an entire nation of trolls who are like, I am going to take my shit in the most crowded area possible.
00:04:39.000 I'm going to do it where the train goes.
00:04:42.000 And then I'm going to take a selfie.
00:04:44.000 Like, you just go anywhere else.
00:04:46.000 You know, just go, just dig a hole.
00:04:49.000 I don't understand why the poops were dancing. 0.93
00:04:53.000 I don't understand.
00:04:54.000 And they're on.
00:04:55.000 They stay so the guy goes.
00:04:56.000 I don't understand the point.
00:04:58.000 The point of the commercial, I get it.
00:04:59.000 Stop pooping. 0.75
00:05:00.000 I guess on railroad.
00:05:02.000 Apparently not enough Indians get it.
00:05:03.000 No, because there's 620 million of them pooping in the open. 1.00
00:05:08.000 Almost twice the population of the United States.
00:05:11.000 I don't know which is the same thing.
00:05:11.000 It almost seems like the poops are shaming the man for pooping in the loop.
00:05:15.000 No, you're right.
00:05:16.000 It's like, you know, we're out here happy.
00:05:18.000 By the way, I love the flies.
00:05:20.000 Yeah, it's like the poop is saying like, hey, look, we're having a party.
00:05:24.000 Not like that guy who poops in the bathroom like a pussy. 1.00
00:05:28.000 What a loser.
00:05:30.000 We're a free-range poop.
00:05:32.000 What's in the cans?
00:05:33.000 What are they holding in the cans?
00:05:34.000 It sounds more poop.
00:05:35.000 Yeah, like a slushy poop, like, you know, maybe Mexican food last night, or in this case, Indian food.
00:05:40.000 I am going to poop across the beach.
00:05:42.000 I didn't need to cross the Atlantic.
00:05:44.000 I always do that for some reason.
00:05:45.000 India has plenty of poop. 0.99
00:05:47.000 Now, listen, I know what you might think.
00:05:48.000 Like, maybe pooping in a toilet or maybe not pooping in the public is a new idea.
00:05:54.000 I believe around 5,000 years ago in the book of Genesis, God was like, or Exodus, God was like, hey, hey, hey, here's an idea.
00:06:01.000 Maybe when you need to poop, go out and bury it.
00:06:04.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:05.000 He literally did that about 5,000.
00:06:08.000 I mean, call it 4,000 years ago.
00:06:10.000 God was like, I can smell you from here.
00:06:11.000 Yes.
00:06:13.000 I'm all the way up in heaven.
00:06:14.000 Stop building that tower.
00:06:15.000 You guys are bringing your...
00:06:18.000 The Tower of Babel. 0.80
00:06:20.000 Yeah.
00:06:20.000 Yeah.
00:06:20.000 They were just going up there to poop so God could smell it.
00:06:22.000 Yeah.
00:06:23.000 So he's like, you know what?
00:06:24.000 They weren't trying to get to heaven.
00:06:24.000 They were trying to get their smell to heaven.
00:06:26.000 And they were coordinating it too.
00:06:27.000 He's like, I'm going to give you guys like a thousand different languages so you can't coordinate your high up poop attacks, your high-altitude poop attacks.
00:06:34.000 It stinks.
00:06:34.000 I've had enough of it.
00:06:36.000 I've had enough of it.
00:06:36.000 Seriously.
00:06:37.000 Pyramids?
00:06:37.000 That's what it was for.
00:06:38.000 Seriously.
00:06:38.000 And this is how you know that the pantheism, the deities of Hinduism are satanic.
00:06:48.000 It's anti-God because God told you to shit in the woods and cover it.
00:06:52.000 You're slapping God in the face.
00:06:54.000 It's true.
00:06:55.000 I don't know which is worse.
00:06:56.000 158 million Muslims on earth who believe that violence against non-Muslims is justified or 620 million Indians who shit in the streets? 0.81
00:07:02.000 I don't know.
00:07:02.000 It's debatable.
00:07:04.000 At this point.
00:07:04.000 We have a space program.
00:07:06.000 Not really.
00:07:06.000 Isn't it crazy to think that a country with 620 million train track poopers have nukes?
00:07:12.000 What's up with the train track?
00:07:13.000 Why are there so many train tracks?
00:07:14.000 Is it like a main motive?
00:07:16.000 Or where else are they going to poop?
00:07:17.000 That's true.
00:07:18.000 You know how we build like next to rivers and things that do comes?
00:07:21.000 They build next to train tracks.
00:07:23.000 That's what they're for, actually.
00:07:24.000 They're not for the trains.
00:07:26.000 They have the rails.
00:07:26.000 You sit on the rail.
00:07:27.000 Yeah.
00:07:28.000 And you poop in between the ties.
00:07:30.000 That's exactly when it comes to India, by the way, they plan on tackling one poop problem at a time. 0.99
00:07:36.000 Next up.
00:07:44.000 Oh, my God.
00:07:45.000 Oh, my God.
00:07:46.000 Beautiful.
00:07:48.000 Hell, you are what you eat.
00:07:50.000 And I know what you're saying.
00:07:51.000 Hey, guys, this is a little too white supremacist.
00:07:55.000 Sure.
00:07:56.000 We did New Zealand.
00:07:57.000 Yeah.
00:07:57.000 We're covered.
00:07:58.000 And Australia.
00:07:59.000 And the Aborigines. 0.93
00:08:01.000 You know what?
00:08:02.000 I blame the white people for allowing it to go on.
00:08:04.000 That's what I do.
00:08:05.000 I blame them.
00:08:05.000 How in the sand?
00:08:08.000 It's the same continent.
00:08:09.000 I know.
00:08:10.000 It's the same continent where they make Toyotas.
00:08:13.000 That's true.
00:08:14.000 And that's where we're supposed to build the iPhone.
00:08:16.000 You know who's most mad about that?
00:08:17.000 The people who build Toyotas.
00:08:19.000 Yeah.
00:08:19.000 You guys are making us.
00:08:21.000 No.
00:08:21.000 Don't put us in the same pot.
00:08:24.000 No.
00:08:27.000 We make a great technology.
00:08:30.000 We have an award for tow truck in Japan.
00:08:33.000 De poopa on the train track, not Asia. 0.94
00:08:39.000 I bet Japan has toilets that make your poops disappear to another dimension. 1.00
00:08:44.000 Yeah.
00:08:45.000 Meanwhile.
00:08:47.000 It's the poopy verse.
00:08:50.000 Wanting pooping.
00:08:53.000 It all goes to India. 1.00
00:08:54.000 Yeah.
00:08:55.000 You go in.
00:08:57.000 It's like the Willy Wonka machine that just sends it to India. 1.00
00:09:00.000 It's just some engineer in Japan.
00:09:02.000 You walk in, there's a room with a bunch of red thread.
00:09:04.000 He's like, look, I found for every way the world could poop.
00:09:10.000 There is a poop which is that way.
00:09:14.000 That's why I have.
00:09:18.000 I kind of messed up there, but sorry, that was me.
00:09:20.000 Poo-poo portal.
00:09:22.000 My favorite poopa portal is your poop in the portal and in India. 1.00
00:09:30.000 Maybe that's why Japan made all their trains really fast.
00:09:33.000 They would just kill people immediately.
00:09:34.000 Maybe that's India's problem. 1.00
00:09:36.000 Actually, no more horns.
00:09:37.000 No more honking.
00:09:38.000 Make the trains really fast.
00:09:40.000 That's why all the Japanese car brands are just sounds that the Japanese people make when they smell Indians poop in the streets. 1.00
00:09:46.000 Honda!
00:09:47.000 Toyota!
00:09:50.000 Nissan!
00:09:53.000 Mitsubishi!
00:10:07.000 Oh my gosh.
00:10:08.000 Yomaha! 0.82
00:10:11.000 Suzuki!
00:10:15.000 Hei-ka-sake! 1.00
00:10:35.000 All jokes aside, the Japanese, they're great at making motors.
00:10:39.000 Yeah, they do a good job.
00:10:40.000 They're the best.
00:10:41.000 I'm sure there's one too.
00:10:42.000 I'm sure it's named because they have so like everything is a name of Japan.
00:10:45.000 There's one that's just like, fuck!
00:10:49.000 They don't have a chip for that in Japan.
00:10:52.000 If you can't.
00:10:52.000 What?
00:10:55.000 I can't wait for the new horror shit.
00:11:00.000 Fujiu!
00:11:02.000 Poopa everywhere.
00:11:04.000 India.
00:11:08.000 India.
00:11:09.000 Asia.
00:11:11.000 Asia's toilet. 0.81
00:11:15.000 They're so racist.
00:11:17.000 The Japanese are so racist. 1.00
00:11:19.000 You guys have no idea how bad racism can get if you haven't spent time with the Japanese.
00:11:28.000 She just, if they have any American black celebrity, they're like, put them on a beer board with bananas. 1.00
00:11:33.000 How many sex?
00:11:34.000 Yes.
00:11:35.000 They don't cater.
00:11:39.000 Oh, my gosh.
00:11:40.000 All right.
00:11:41.000 All right.
00:11:41.000 This was a fun show.
00:11:42.000 It's a palette cleanse.
00:11:43.000 It's Chat Thursday.
00:11:44.000 Let's get to that.
00:11:45.000 Chat!
00:11:46.000 Hippajack!
00:11:51.000 Hippajack!
00:11:55.000 You bring the greatest shame.
00:11:59.000 You must commit Sudoku.
00:12:01.000 Seppuku, I always get that one.
00:12:05.000 And I can't say Sudoku either.
00:12:06.000 There, I said it because you said it.
00:12:08.000 I can never get away with it.
00:12:09.000 You try Sudoku.
00:12:10.000 Pick a brain.
00:12:11.000 If not, a Seppaku. 1.00
00:12:15.000 If not, you drive a Suzuki off a bridge.
00:12:19.000 All right.
00:12:20.000 First chat from Rumble Foreskin.
00:12:23.000 Hello, Rumble.
00:12:24.000 Which potential Trump win will be the inflection point where the legacy media will be forced to either shut up or to admit that Trump's doing a good job?
00:12:31.000 They never will.
00:12:32.000 Never.
00:12:32.000 They never will.
00:12:34.000 Or they'll sandwich it, right?
00:12:36.000 They'll go, in the latest news, Trump steal, blah, blah, blah, blah, successful, blah, blah, blah.
00:12:40.000 But he also called this person a scum.
00:12:44.000 Right.
00:12:45.000 If Donald Trump personally, with a security detail, liberated every single closeted homosexual and trans individual from Iran and gave them free housing in San Francisco, they would find a way to tell you why That was fascist. 0.52
00:13:01.000 Trump could become trans. 0.81
00:13:02.000 He could get transition surgery and they'd be like, Trump appropriates trans culture. 0.64
00:13:06.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:13:06.000 Another move of hate.
00:13:07.000 Yeah.
00:13:08.000 Like, what?
00:13:08.000 Just like with Caitlin Jenner, where they made Woman of the Year and they're like, I vote Republican.
00:13:13.000 They're like, not one of us.
00:13:15.000 Man of the year.
00:13:16.000 The guy sucks.
00:13:18.000 Yeah.
00:13:19.000 Just all of a sudden.
00:13:20.000 So, no, they won't.
00:13:21.000 And this is why also, look, I know, and I've told you about this.
00:13:26.000 When I was at Fox News, they said, oh, well, you know, obviously we kind of, as a network, we hope Mitt Romney doesn't win because it's bad for us.
00:13:32.000 It's better to be the opposition.
00:13:34.000 And I was like, you think you're opposition because of who's in the White House?
00:13:37.000 Look, I am a contrarian by nature.
00:13:40.000 I just have a general problem with authority.
00:13:42.000 I understand that.
00:13:43.000 But I'm not going to be a contrarian against my own values just because that's better for clicks.
00:13:50.000 And that's why I think it's important to celebrate the wins.
00:13:53.000 And I mean this, it is super important to show Gen Z what their money got them, what their vote got them, because that is a huge, people were talking about demographic shifts and you didn't see it with the black.
00:14:06.000 You didn't see it with the black vote.
00:14:07.000 You did see it with the young vote across the board, and especially young Hispanic male vote.
00:14:12.000 Huge, right?
00:14:12.000 That's something that I think a lot of people didn't see coming.
00:14:15.000 You need to solidify that now because they're going to get more conservative unless they feel like they were duped.
00:14:22.000 And so anyone on the right actively saying you were duped, that's, I have a serious problem with that because we're always going to be the opposition to legacy media.
00:14:32.000 And by the way, that's just transitioning into big tech.
00:14:34.000 And yes, that includes X and Twitter with what we've seen.
00:14:37.000 You know, Elon Musk, you know, Ashley Sinclair making $27,000 in a week and anyone critical of H-1B visas being throttled.
00:14:44.000 So there's always a dragon to slay.
00:14:47.000 And you need to have a victory parade.
00:14:50.000 And I'm not saying that all is one, but what I'm saying is it is important.
00:14:54.000 You can't just beat people down and make them hopeless.
00:14:57.000 You need to find the right people to oppose.
00:14:59.000 Yeah.
00:14:59.000 And a very easy case to see.
00:15:01.000 And I know you've probably seen plenty of examples, but this was the most obvious example that the media could have gone like, hey, good job.
00:15:08.000 That was about the border.
00:15:12.000 In the toilet this time, Josh.
00:15:14.000 Joshua Goodrappa.
00:15:18.000 I'm just going to call him Indian Josh. 0.98
00:15:20.000 No, but it was the border.
00:15:22.000 Going from however many crossings we were having, sometimes, you know, many, many, many thousands of illegal crossings per day to none virtually.
00:15:30.000 And the media didn't run Victory Labs for that.
00:15:31.000 That's something that's phenomenally good for America.
00:15:33.000 Phenomenally good.
00:15:35.000 Even if you're a liberal and you want everybody to come here, you want them to do it legally.
00:15:38.000 Otherwise, they have to go through the coyote process and all that.
00:15:40.000 Dude, and they did it without even building up a wall.
00:15:43.000 Exactly.
00:15:44.000 In other words, passing a bill.
00:15:46.000 How could you be opposed?
00:15:47.000 Because people were like, well, this was a leftist argument.
00:15:49.000 They were going, well, I think that we do need to have, but if you think a wall is going to do anything, you're retarded. 1.00
00:15:55.000 And I was like, okay, well, now we didn't even build a wall and it fucking stopped.
00:15:59.000 So done.
00:15:59.000 It's done.
00:16:00.000 And they're like, oh, I can't believe that.
00:16:01.000 Oh, we're separating families.
00:16:03.000 Yeah, but you're never going to acknowledge the win.
00:16:05.000 No, never, ever, ever, ever.
00:16:07.000 Don't expect it.
00:16:08.000 And listen, I know people say this, you know, you don't hate the media enough.
00:16:11.000 You really don't.
00:16:12.000 You don't.
00:16:12.000 You really have no clue.
00:16:13.000 And we look at it as like, oh, they have a different perspective.
00:16:16.000 No, it's subversive.
00:16:18.000 The media.
00:16:18.000 And look, sometimes on the right, when I see Fox News parroting something about Israel or something, like Israel's our greatest ally.
00:16:24.000 And I'm like, why would you ever think that?
00:16:27.000 It doesn't mean that Israel's not an ally.
00:16:29.000 It just means why would, what have they done to become our greatest ally?
00:16:32.000 Right.
00:16:33.000 That's not the right message.
00:16:34.000 Even when it's on our side and it may kind of align roughly with what you think, it's still the wrong thing to be saying to people.
00:16:41.000 Yeah.
00:16:41.000 It's stupid.
00:16:42.000 Yeah.
00:16:43.000 It's just, it really is.
00:16:44.000 And, you know, look, I tell you this.
00:16:47.000 I remember had to sit through a luncheon with Eric Cantor and I was like, this fucking guy.
00:16:52.000 So like, but let's not act as though, and I get it.
00:16:55.000 A lot of times we had to vote and we're like, okay, we know they're kind of a rhino.
00:16:57.000 I mean, I can tell you this, every person here who voted for John McCain was like, son of a bitch.
00:17:02.000 Like, we didn't want to, but it was the only choice.
00:17:05.000 Yeah.
00:17:05.000 It was the only choice.
00:17:06.000 Fabric.
00:17:07.000 Mitt Romney for crying out loud.
00:17:10.000 I wrote a paper about how he was in a cult.
00:17:13.000 Yeah.
00:17:13.000 Yeah.
00:17:14.000 It's like, it's like, look, but let's, no one's perfect.
00:17:17.000 This is not Rhino's same old sympathy.
00:17:19.000 It's not all the same.
00:17:20.000 He goes, it's all the same, you know party.
00:17:22.000 No, no.
00:17:24.000 If only for this one group, this is a rogue group who are doing things radically differently and nothing is perfect.
00:17:31.000 But my God, is it the best that I've seen in my lifetime?
00:17:34.000 And sure, we need to get on the debt.
00:17:36.000 Yep, I get it.
00:17:37.000 They're trying to do it.
00:17:38.000 1.7 trillion in cuts.
00:17:40.000 But I just, I think sometimes people, it's a lot easier to just say wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and then tell everyone when the shit hits the fan, you have a lot of guns and then you'll really spring into action, but you're not really doing anything where you can actively help.
00:17:52.000 So next chat.
00:17:54.000 All right, next chat from the Mississippi gentleman.
00:17:56.000 Question for Stephen.
00:17:57.000 On the topic of racism, have you seen Carmelo Anthony has requested appointed counsel because his family is unable to pay?
00:18:04.000 Is it fraud considering he raised over 500K?
00:18:07.000 How is he not able to pay?
00:18:08.000 I mean, maybe they didn't pay him out.
00:18:11.000 Maybe that give, send, go didn't pay him out?
00:18:13.000 I don't.
00:18:14.000 No, it must be covered.
00:18:15.000 It could be like a delay of a few days.
00:18:17.000 Come on, you know the answer.
00:18:20.000 That is.
00:18:21.000 I hope he gets the very best.
00:18:24.000 Public defender who wants to kill himself.
00:18:27.000 Court appointed makes the very best.
00:18:30.000 This guy, unless there's some massive amount of information we don't know, deserves everything coming his way.
00:18:36.000 Stabbing a guy in the chest over being told to get out from under a tent.
00:18:41.000 Oh, they.
00:18:42.000 So I saw a comment I needed to verify.
00:18:45.000 Apparently they upped the give, send, go goal to 1.4 million.
00:18:49.000 Ah.
00:18:49.000 And what is it at now?
00:18:50.000 540,000?
00:18:52.000 I think they're done.
00:18:53.000 Yeah, I think they had the initial, you know, people going, white man, bad, black kid must be being railroaded.
00:18:59.000 And then people go like, oh, not this one, kid.
00:19:01.000 I've never been on trial for murder.
00:19:04.000 Good.
00:19:04.000 Good to know.
00:19:05.000 Good start.
00:19:05.000 And you can't see.
00:19:10.000 A lot of different sound bites.
00:19:11.000 You can fact-check me.
00:19:13.000 But I've never been on trial for murder.
00:19:14.000 I don't know how much a good counsel would cost.
00:19:16.000 A lot.
00:19:17.000 A lot.
00:19:18.000 Many point five millions of dollars.
00:19:20.000 The funny thing is criminal attorneys make far less because it's business attorneys where you make tons of money because that shit drags on forever.
00:19:25.000 They make many, many, that would cost many, many millions.
00:19:27.000 You know, when you're talking about Donald Trump defending those cases, I would imagine it would be, if it's not in the low, low seven figures, high, high, high, six figures for something like this for a good attorney.
00:19:36.000 Oh, so, okay.
00:19:37.000 So $550,000 isn't going to get him a good attorney then.
00:19:40.000 That probably would.
00:19:41.000 That certainly would get him through.
00:19:42.000 I mean, if it goes on for years, no, but I mean, he definitely could get the retainer and get an attorney.
00:19:47.000 He's not at the point now where he can't afford it.
00:19:49.000 I feel like he can get a pretty decent attorney for that for this.
00:19:52.000 But maybe research can tell us what the average, I don't know, murder charge trial costs.
00:19:57.000 I don't know if there's a number out there, but you can get somebody to represent you through this process.
00:20:01.000 Public defender.
00:20:04.000 And here's the thing.
00:20:05.000 We don't have all the information.
00:20:07.000 I'm not going to feel guilty for going like, ah, yeah, you're right.
00:20:10.000 It's my fault that I think his family spent it irresponsibly.
00:20:15.000 Yeah.
00:20:15.000 Or they didn't spend it yet because they don't have it yet, right?
00:20:17.000 Because they still have it up and it's still a goal.
00:20:20.000 It's not still a goal.
00:20:22.000 Do they not get the payout if they reach the $500,000?
00:20:25.000 I don't know how that works.
00:20:26.000 Can you draw it out?
00:20:27.000 Help us, research.
00:20:28.000 Help us.
00:20:29.000 Can you draw it out before you finish your campaign?
00:20:32.000 I think you have to finish it, don't you?
00:20:33.000 Either way.
00:20:34.000 You have to hit your goal.
00:20:35.000 No, I don't think I'm there.
00:20:35.000 You have to hit your goal.
00:20:36.000 You don't have to hit your goal, but I think you have to finish the campaign.
00:20:38.000 You got to be like, it's over.
00:20:39.000 Yeah.
00:20:40.000 Maybe.
00:20:40.000 Maybe.
00:20:40.000 I don't know.
00:20:41.000 I just, look, I bet you no matter what he raises, he's going to ask for a court appointed.
00:20:46.000 That would be my bet.
00:20:47.000 Yeah.
00:20:48.000 So far they've said cannot verify that he did request a court-appointed attorney.
00:20:53.000 What?
00:20:53.000 But they said it would be tens of thousands to pay a lawyer to see a full murder trial all the way through.
00:20:58.000 Expert witnesses cost a lot.
00:21:00.000 Tens of thousands?
00:21:01.000 Sounds good.
00:21:02.000 No, that sounds low.
00:21:03.000 In other words, $500,000 is more than enough to get a good attorney.
00:21:08.000 And if you need expert witnesses, we didn't even check the source of his question.
00:21:11.000 Yeah.
00:21:11.000 Well, I was the answer because someone assumed I didn't know if it was true or not.
00:21:14.000 So if it's not true, then you need to do a better job.
00:21:17.000 Be a better person.
00:21:18.000 Rumble, but we appreciate it.
00:21:19.000 I think it was Rumble Force.
00:21:20.000 No, that was Mississippi.
00:21:21.000 Oh, Mississippi.
00:21:22.000 Well, Mississippi, look, we still love you.
00:21:23.000 I got a lot of good qualities.
00:21:24.000 But if it's not true, verify.
00:21:27.000 Verify that shit.
00:21:28.000 Next one.
00:21:29.000 All right.
00:21:30.000 Next chat from Ibrahim Asmadeus.
00:21:32.000 With attempts to get Sharia in Texas and a Muslim governor in NYC, why are our politicians allowing this, especially seeing the storm the UK is weathering with Muslims? 1.00
00:21:44.000 Well, when you say, you mean the left?
00:21:47.000 Again, they're not all the same.
00:21:48.000 The right, certainly in Texas, is actively fighting against it while the left is actively encouraging it.
00:21:54.000 Again, you have to understand that the left, it all stems from Marxism, and they view the world as oppressor and oppressed, right?
00:22:00.000 In other words, there's no world in which, and when you go to Marxism, communism, where there's a business owner, a factory owner who has done it honorably, who has worked really hard.
00:22:09.000 That doesn't exist.
00:22:10.000 It's the bourgeois and it's the proletariat, and so you have to seize the means of production and distribution. 0.84
00:22:16.000 And so the actual morality is irrelevant if someone who is more moral has more than you.
00:22:23.000 And so they view the whole world as oppressor and oppressed.
00:22:25.000 In this case, they go, oh, Muslim, minority in the United States, so we're going to support the oppressed. 1.00
00:22:29.000 Now, of course, this fails to stand up at all to scrutiny when you see that it's LGBTQ flags next to Palestinian flags. 0.55
00:22:37.000 But they don't care because they're just picking a press group, a press group.
00:22:40.000 And you see it really, you see it very clearly.
00:22:44.000 For example, remember Stop Asian Hate?
00:22:46.000 I think is what it was.
00:22:47.000 They were using Asians for a period of time until they realized they were no longer useful and the crime stats came out that it was largely black people inflicting the violence upon the Asian community. 0.99
00:22:54.000 It's like, okay, you're not useful to us anymore, Asians. 1.00
00:22:57.000 That's what they do.
00:22:58.000 It's just oppressor and oppressed.
00:22:59.000 And so you combine that with the fact that they hate the basis of our country, the Constitution, and they want to subvert it.
00:23:06.000 They want us to be different.
00:23:08.000 Now, you say, especially when they see what happens in Europe, the left here today thinks Europe is better than the United States.
00:23:13.000 Europe of today.
00:23:14.000 They think that's a good thing.
00:23:15.000 They would rather us look like the UK.
00:23:17.000 Why?
00:23:17.000 Because that would look less like the United States.
00:23:20.000 The less we look like the United States you love, the better for the left.
00:23:24.000 Because patriots are a lot harder to control.
00:23:28.000 If you erode all traditions, that's why they want to uphold institutions, not traditions.
00:23:33.000 Because the institutions they can control because the institutions are funded by government.
00:23:37.000 And that can become basically, not become, it is a propaganda factory, effectively, whether it's education, whether it's, I mean, take it with social welfare programs.
00:23:48.000 So the less the United States looks like the United States you know and love, that's what the left wants.
00:23:54.000 So you're saying the same thing.
00:23:55.000 You're saying, why are they supporting this?
00:23:57.000 Especially they've seen what's happened in the UK and they're going, hey, why aren't you supporting this?
00:24:01.000 You see how great the UK is?
00:24:04.000 That's the answer.
00:24:05.000 Next chat.
00:24:06.000 Yeah.
00:24:06.000 All right.
00:24:06.000 Next chat from Ashernik.
00:24:08.000 Question for everyone.
00:24:10.000 Could Europe becoming more militarized bite us in the ass in the future as Europe continues to become more and more Muslim? 1.00
00:24:15.000 Yeah, I thought about that too.
00:24:17.000 No, I mean we do want to keep, like, there's also a reason that we want to keep Europe under control.
00:24:22.000 We think we're so far removed from, you know, world wars.
00:24:26.000 But again, at this point, we're the ones in the driver's seat, at least with President Trump, right?
00:24:31.000 They have a while to catch up.
00:24:33.000 And Europe is in a position where really they still need to appease the United States.
00:24:37.000 I think it's better if you're looking at an actual alliance than just individual nations, for example, like Germany, because, you know, we've got to keep our eye on them.
00:24:47.000 So yeah, it could.
00:24:49.000 That's why it has to come with conditions.
00:24:51.000 Install a kill switch.
00:24:52.000 Yeah.
00:24:53.000 Yeah.
00:24:54.000 Pretty much.
00:24:55.000 Kill all of Europe, Josh?
00:24:56.000 No, a kill switch in the F-35s or whatever we're selling.
00:24:58.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:24:59.000 So it's like, oh, Germany's acting up.
00:25:01.000 Yeah.
00:25:02.000 Not anymore.
00:25:03.000 Yeah.
00:25:03.000 Turn those F-35s down.
00:25:05.000 Yeah, how hilarious would that have been if like Pearl Harbor, they bought all their planes from us and just in the middle of the ocean and like, oh, no!
00:25:12.000 We see you.
00:25:13.000 Oh, that's why they call it Osero.
00:25:18.000 Oh, my gosh.
00:25:19.000 All right, next chat.
00:25:20.000 All right, next chat from Amanda DeNice One.
00:25:23.000 Question for the crew.
00:25:24.000 So far, Trump is doing a great job, but will we ever see his original campaign promise to drain the swamp?
00:25:31.000 He's been trying.
00:25:33.000 Sometimes you can drain something, not fully, you know.
00:25:37.000 I mean, Pete Exeth going in and making cutbacks and reforms at the Pentagon, going, you guys are out getting rid of DEI, affirmative action, that kind of stuff.
00:25:45.000 I mean, bringing in Doge, you know, the big, beautiful bill, as far as getting illegals off of, well, RFK, I mean, RFK, Social Security, the reform that we're looking at, cutting the IRS, a bunch of what were going to be new hires that I Think hadn't been implemented.
00:26:01.000 Has he done it fully?
00:26:02.000 No.
00:26:03.000 Has he done it more than any other president that I can think of?
00:26:05.000 Yeah, especially Trump termed two.
00:26:07.000 I mean, you can't drain Congress.
00:26:09.000 There's things you can't control.
00:26:11.000 So, no, not fully, but you know.
00:26:15.000 Well, this is a process, too.
00:26:16.000 You can drain some of it.
00:26:18.000 It's like a pool that's overfilled.
00:26:20.000 Yeah.
00:26:20.000 If you get it back to a reasonable level, you might be able to swim.
00:26:24.000 My expectation for President Trump was not that he was going to come in and solve every single problem that this government has, that he was going to make significant headway and start charting us on a course towards correcting these issues.
00:26:36.000 In the things that he can accomplish, yes, we expect him to be able to secure the border.
00:26:39.000 We expect to start doing the deportations.
00:26:42.000 We expect to have him start doing policy that will actually make the economy do better for the long run, not just being stimulated by the U.S. government constantly throwing money at these issues.
00:26:51.000 Those are the kinds of things we knew he could do immediately.
00:26:54.000 Appointing certain people.
00:26:55.000 And listen, we've had criticism for certain agencies.
00:26:57.000 They're the ones that are supposed to go in and kind of clean those agencies up.
00:27:01.000 He's appointing the right people, but they're not all doing the same kind of good work.
00:27:05.000 We'll see.
00:27:06.000 Yeah, I'll tell you this.
00:27:06.000 Bernie Sanders wasn't all wrong when he was talking with Joe Rogan.
00:27:09.000 He said, you know, no one's going to campaign that I'm going to cut Social Security that goes to campaign.
00:27:15.000 Sure.
00:27:16.000 Now, he's not cutting Medicaid or Social Security.
00:27:19.000 I think that there need to be dramatic reforms because Social Security is insolvent.
00:27:23.000 But it is true. 0.90
00:27:24.000 No one on the left or the right wanted to touch it.
00:27:26.000 And I don't mean cut people who need it.
00:27:28.000 I mean even reform it and get to the fraud and abuse.
00:27:30.000 No one did.
00:27:31.000 No one even tried.
00:27:32.000 No one wanted to.
00:27:33.000 Matter of fact, yeah, because they said about Minra, he wants to cut your Medicare, Social Security.
00:27:39.000 He was like, what?
00:27:39.000 No, I don't.
00:27:40.000 I want more Medicare, because that was a huge voting base for the right.
00:27:43.000 That's shifting a little bit.
00:27:44.000 So for Donald Trump to go in and be the first administration to say all illegals, gone.
00:27:49.000 And you know what?
00:27:50.000 If you are a young, able-bodied, childless American who refuses to work, gone.
00:27:55.000 That is the biggest reform of any of these programs that we have seen in our lifetime.
00:28:00.000 So is it perfect?
00:28:01.000 No.
00:28:02.000 Is it the biggest we've ever seen?
00:28:04.000 Yes.
00:28:05.000 What qualifies as draining the swamp?
00:28:07.000 Does it have to be completely drained?
00:28:09.000 I don't know that anyone is ever going to be able to completely do that.
00:28:12.000 But I'll take the biggest accomplishments if this gets passed of our lifetime.
00:28:16.000 I'll still take that and say, okay, that's a promise delivered because no one else even attempted it.
00:28:21.000 For me, this is going to be the last chat I take.
00:28:23.000 And then Jill's going to take over because I have to go take care of some business.
00:28:28.000 Take a chat.
00:28:29.000 Let's go.
00:28:29.000 One more chat.
00:28:30.000 Okay, sorry.
00:28:30.000 I thought you said that was going to be the last chat.
00:28:32.000 I said I'll take one more.
00:28:34.000 Real quick, isn't it?
00:28:36.000 Yes.
00:28:36.000 Just a quick follow-up.
00:28:37.000 Yesterday, the research sent this.
00:28:39.000 Yesterday, Carmel Anthony did file an indigent packet, which basically too poor to lack basic necessities.
00:28:47.000 Doesn't mean he's going to get it approved.
00:28:49.000 Yeah, indigent, sure.
00:28:51.000 I thought you were saying that he was huffing gas.
00:28:53.000 Yeah, sure.
00:28:54.000 It must be Rama.
00:28:55.000 Rama's package.
00:28:56.000 Yes.
00:28:57.000 Next chat then from DJ9669.
00:29:00.000 Okay.
00:29:01.000 Question for Stephen and the crew.
00:29:02.000 How to avoid all the insinuation of people being racist when the people insinuating it are actually racist people?
00:29:08.000 And how do you let them know that they are the racist assets?
00:29:12.000 First off, apologize for nothing.
00:29:14.000 If you know that you're not racist in your heart, and by that I mean you actually believe that people are inferior because of the color of their skin, that's it.
00:29:24.000 Don't make apologies for it.
00:29:26.000 And noticing actual data trends like crime statistics is not racist.
00:29:31.000 Noticing the trends, for example, in fatherless households in the black community is not only the opposite of racist, it's the only way to actually solve the problem.
00:29:41.000 So obviously it's not race that's the problem.
00:29:43.000 There's not the problem going on in that community.
00:29:45.000 What is it?
00:29:45.000 We need to find the solution.
00:29:47.000 Right.
00:29:47.000 Exactly.
00:29:49.000 So I just always ask them, very effectively, ask them why.
00:29:53.000 So usually they're presenting something that X group can't do this and they need help.
00:29:59.000 And you go, oh, why?
00:30:01.000 So they say, well, X group can't get ahead, and so they do need help in affirmative action. 0.83
00:30:06.000 Let's just use that.
00:30:07.000 Black people can't get ahead, and so they do need affirmative action to get into college. 1.00
00:30:10.000 Why?
00:30:13.000 They might go, and you might need to be able to counter some arguments that will go, because of historicals.
00:30:17.000 You go, okay, but why in 2025?
00:30:20.000 Why do you think, let me be specific, why do you think black people can't get into good colleges?
00:30:30.000 Why do you think they go, well, because of this, well, why do you think they get lower SAT scores?
00:30:37.000 Why do you think their graduation rates are so much lower?
00:30:42.000 And here's the thing.
00:30:44.000 You may not need to or you may not be capable of having all the answers.
00:30:47.000 I can give you those answers as to why.
00:30:49.000 I mean, for example, they're going to black schools, they get more public funding than most white schools.
00:30:52.000 So you can't say it's a lack of funding.
00:30:54.000 If they say that, you can cut them off at the pass.
00:30:56.000 They get lower SAT scores.
00:30:57.000 You can't say there's any systemic discrimination that prevents them from getting decent SAT scores.
00:31:02.000 And if they try and take it to public schools, well, it's not because they're underfunded anyway, because they're actually more funded.
00:31:06.000 But let's say that you don't have any of that.
00:31:10.000 You let them walk down the trail.
00:31:13.000 And then I guarantee you at some point, you will have a totality that you can take into account and go, okay, so black people cannot get higher SAT scores and can't get into good colleges and can't avoid committing these crimes. 1.00
00:31:30.000 Your answer to all these is because of a group of people that isn't the black community.
00:31:38.000 Do I have that right?
00:31:41.000 Let me ask you, what is it that, since you talk about the community, what is it that they are responsible for?
00:31:48.000 You can do the same thing with illegal immigrants. 1.00
00:31:51.000 You can do the same thing with the Islamic community.
00:31:56.000 Why?
00:31:57.000 Well, why?
00:31:57.000 Why global terrorism?
00:31:58.000 Why is virtually all of it?
00:32:00.000 Why?
00:32:01.000 Well, why do you think 158 million Muslims support violence against infidels?
00:32:06.000 Well, that's a bastardization of the text.
00:32:08.000 Okay.
00:32:08.000 But why do you think 150-something million Muslims across the globe believe it?
00:32:15.000 Why?
00:32:16.000 And eventually they do have to, it does lead back to, they're going to hear it and realize how dumb it sounds coming out of their mouth.
00:32:21.000 Or they may not, in which case you just move on.
00:32:23.000 If they go, well, actually, and they're vehemently arguing, like, actually, it's because of white people.
00:32:26.000 And actually, it's because of Christian indoctrination.
00:32:29.000 And actually, it's because of, if they really, but often you can see the wheel start turning, and they go like, well, that's because of Christian the Crusades, and that's why 158 million Muslims today support it. 0.89
00:32:43.000 Why do you think that is?
00:32:46.000 They are arguing for inferiority.
00:32:50.000 Here's the difference.
00:32:51.000 We are arguing when we are talking about issues that do revolve around race, because that is a thing. 1.00
00:32:56.000 It's a real thing.
00:32:57.000 And different communities are definitely affected differently.
00:32:59.000 And you can see different statistical trends.
00:33:01.000 So I'm not going to say that I'm colorblind, right?
00:33:03.000 And we are arguing, well, hold on a second.
00:33:04.000 Maybe there is a reason.
00:33:06.000 Maybe there's a catalyst for this.
00:33:07.000 For example, if you go to the black community and fatherless households and you go back to the Model Cities program and you go back to Lyndon Johnson, you go this was encouraged and baby mamas and the welfare reform. 0.88
00:33:16.000 They are arguing, if they have to discount all of that and blame someone else, ultimately they are arguing that a race or a class of people are inferior, if only in that they have been duped by white people, have been duped by Judeo-Christians,
00:33:33.000 and the reverse isn't true, which would have to, it would necessarily be based, be predicated on the idea that some way, somehow, if there aren't any other contributing variables or they won't accept it, then you're just saying they're inferior.
00:33:51.000 And you tell them that you don't believe that.
00:33:53.000 And you don't need to apologize for it.
00:33:56.000 Because I don't believe that any people, any race, any level of melanin makes someone superior or inferior.
00:34:03.000 I believe that Africa, every single nation there on that continent, is inferior to the United States. 1.00
00:34:09.000 Now, I believe that because of the systems that they've had in place, the values that they've had in place, the cradle of civilization is still basically just a cradle.
00:34:19.000 I believe that the entire nation of India as a whole is inferior to the United States. 0.96
00:34:24.000 Why?
00:34:25.000 Because 630 million people still shit in the streets.
00:34:28.000 Do I think it's because they're brown?
00:34:30.000 No.
00:34:31.000 Do I think in some cases IQ factors into it?
00:34:34.000 Yeah.
00:34:34.000 I also think that nutrition factors into IQ from countries that are very poor, but at a certain point, you do have to say it's 2025 there too.
00:34:43.000 And are you attributing this to race or is there something else here?
00:34:48.000 Is there a reason that the net result is still worse for this community, despite getting a leg up from the community who for some reason has seemed to figure it out?
00:34:57.000 Is there a reason for that?
00:34:59.000 And if they can't give you a reason as far as policy, if they can't give you a reason as far as values, and they'll avoid that, then you come back to the same place.
00:35:06.000 They believe that races of people are inferior, and that's where they come in with their white savior complex. 0.65
00:35:12.000 I don't believe it.
00:35:13.000 So I don't feel guilty.
00:35:15.000 I'll tell you who's really, really white, so this is uncomfortable. 1.00
00:35:17.000 Toss to him, Gerald.
00:35:18.000 I'll see you guys tomorrow.
00:35:23.000 I think I'm just going to stay here.
00:35:25.000 Stay in my chair.
00:35:26.000 Fine.
00:35:26.000 But we did the Korean thing.
00:35:29.000 So you can just come to me.
00:35:31.000 No, get with you.
00:35:32.000 Stop it.
00:35:32.000 Would you stop it?
00:35:33.000 Stop it.
00:35:33.000 That's fine.
00:35:34.000 Get away. 0.73
00:35:34.000 Get away. 0.73
00:35:35.000 Just try to put that stuff.
00:35:36.000 It's this hand sanitizer in my eye.
00:35:39.000 Also, you know, just to kind of piggyback off of that, why have Asians been successful in this country?
00:35:46.000 You think they sat around just going, oh man, these guys are being really racist towards us and discriminatory?
00:35:51.000 Or did they find a way?
00:35:52.000 Culturally, did something within their culture tell them, hey, don't worry about the situation that you're fight against it.
00:35:58.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:35:58.000 But don't make that the primary focus because you're just going to sit there and shake your fist at the man for a while.
00:36:03.000 And maybe that's going to take a long time for it to be resolved.
00:36:06.000 How about we find a way to become successful?
00:36:08.000 How about we start businesses?
00:36:09.000 And how about we tell our community what to do to be successful?
00:36:11.000 And I think that's what the black community right now really, really, really needs.
00:36:15.000 They need leaders telling them to knock off the foolishness.
00:36:19.000 And here's the way to be successful.
00:36:20.000 Even if granted, the systemic racism that you claim exists even in 2025 today, let's just grant that it's there.
00:36:28.000 This would be a better way of dealing with it than just constantly saying we have to change this.
00:36:33.000 It's not helping your community.
00:36:35.000 It really is not.
00:36:35.000 And it's a very, very, very sad to see.
00:36:38.000 So next chat.
00:36:39.000 All right.
00:36:40.000 Next chat from that fine fellow.
00:36:42.000 Quest for crew.
00:36:43.000 At what point will Disney have to pivot and start writing white male heroes again?
00:36:47.000 When they've lost everything or when the revenue from good stories starts rivaling Soros money?
00:36:53.000 I don't think they had to start writing white heroes again so simply as that.
00:36:56.000 I think they just have to come up with more original.
00:37:00.000 The problem isn't that it's not white people.
00:37:02.000 To me, I mean, maybe it is different to you.
00:37:04.000 The problem to me is that they keep changing things to fit a certain narrative when there was already a story to begin with.
00:37:10.000 Yeah.
00:37:11.000 I've said this for a while.
00:37:12.000 Like, why can't there be, you know, brand new stories with black superheroes or Hispanic superheroes?
00:37:19.000 Like, that sounds cool to me.
00:37:22.000 I mean, just stop pushing an agenda, too.
00:37:23.000 Like, I think that's probably the biggest thing that I'm looking for in a movie is just don't push agendas on me.
00:37:28.000 It really, because when you start pushing an agenda, then it's starting to be in the script.
00:37:32.000 It's in the dialogue of the characters.
00:37:34.000 And it's like.
00:37:34.000 Contrived.
00:37:35.000 Well, this, yeah, you can feel it.
00:37:37.000 You can feel it being contrived.
00:37:38.000 You can, like, this isn't a natural conversation.
00:37:42.000 It feels like having this episode went out of its way to make a point that I hear every five minutes all the time that I don't see in my real life.
00:37:51.000 And I'd rather you guys just kick someone's ass.
00:37:54.000 Yes.
00:37:54.000 I'd rather it just be somebody's committing a crime and you're kicking their ass and saving the city or something.
00:37:59.000 Legacy Disney prided itself on storytelling and they traded that out for politics and a message.
00:38:06.000 Yeah.
00:38:06.000 And that's exactly what it is.
00:38:08.000 You know, things like Black Panther did amazingly well because that was an established character.
00:38:12.000 Yeah.
00:38:12.000 And they stayed true to that character.
00:38:15.000 They've forgotten how to do that.
00:38:16.000 Yeah.
00:38:17.000 And I don't know that they'll ever make a full correction on that.
00:38:20.000 I think money does eventually talk, but I think you've got an organization that has prided itself in really just trying to push these agendas that society doesn't really want.
00:38:29.000 And they're doing a bad job at storytelling as well.
00:38:31.000 Even with the agendas in it, it's like, these are just a lot of really bad stories.
00:38:35.000 I think the comic books did a good job at that, like as comic books.
00:38:38.000 I didn't read them all and stuff, but I know a lot of the stories.
00:38:40.000 And one series that did really well with this, with the race, I guess you call it race swapping, was Spider-Man, because there's a bunch of different Spider-Mans out there.
00:38:49.000 And Miles Morales is an awesome Spider-Man character.
00:38:52.000 It's an awesome story.
00:38:53.000 And they didn't have to change Spider-Man.
00:38:55.000 He was a different Spider-Man.
00:38:56.000 He met up with Peter Parker.
00:39:00.000 He had a different spider bite him.
00:39:02.000 Peter Parker trained him a little bit in these animated series.
00:39:04.000 Yeah.
00:39:05.000 And it was a whole different thing.
00:39:06.000 It was a different universe.
00:39:07.000 I thought that was really cool.
00:39:08.000 They didn't have to change things up and make it different.
00:39:10.000 They just told a different version of Spider-Man.
00:39:12.000 I think that's cool.
00:39:13.000 Sam Jackson is Nick Fury.
00:39:15.000 That's all the MCU ever knew.
00:39:17.000 I don't want a white Dr. Was Dr. Fury. 0.99
00:39:20.000 Nick Fury.
00:39:21.000 I don't want a white Nick Fury.
00:39:22.000 I don't want, you know, it's like a white Black Panther. 0.99
00:39:26.000 Yeah, he was a badass character.
00:39:27.000 I want him to stay.
00:39:28.000 Did they ever make it about him being black?
00:39:31.000 No.
00:39:31.000 No, exactly.
00:39:32.000 They just stayed to the story.
00:39:34.000 And him being black was a side characteristic. 0.99
00:39:37.000 Yeah, so maybe you'll see some changes because Prophet does motivate, but it takes time.
00:39:40.000 And so one of the reasons we think that the Lionheart stuff is so bad is because of when it was actually shot.
00:39:46.000 Wasn't it shot in 2020, what was it, 22 or something like that?
00:39:49.000 Reshoots took place in 23 or 24.
00:39:51.000 And they took place in 24.
00:39:53.000 Iron Heart, what did I say?
00:39:54.000 There's Iron Heart?
00:39:55.000 Oh, I said Lion Heart.
00:39:57.000 That's how much I care about this crap.
00:39:59.000 Can't even get the name right.
00:40:00.000 But they were shooting it previously, and I think this is them kind of cleaning it up as much as they can and just putting it out there and saying, let's just take our lumps.
00:40:07.000 You know, like I didn't see a huge push for this.
00:40:10.000 I mean, I'm sure there was some push, but it's not a story that I'm just really all that interested in anymore because I know what they're doing at this point.
00:40:16.000 I'm like, okay, I get it.
00:40:18.000 I get it.
00:40:19.000 It sucks.
00:40:19.000 You guys are just making crap now.
00:40:21.000 And some of these were crap to begin with, but the stories were a lot more fun earlier on because it was true to the stories that we all knew.
00:40:29.000 Or if you're going to make a news story, that's great too.
00:40:32.000 And I think that's it.
00:40:33.000 It'd be fascinating, wouldn't it?
00:40:34.000 Wouldn't that be great?
00:40:35.000 Yeah, and it's not like the, oh, I don't see enough white care. 0.63
00:40:37.000 That's not it.
00:40:38.000 No.
00:40:39.000 And I get that too.
00:40:39.000 People saying, oh, it's pissing me off that all these things are being replaced.
00:40:43.000 And it's like, oh, the left will go, well, now you see.
00:40:46.000 It's because you're not being represented on the screen.
00:40:48.000 So now you see.
00:40:49.000 No.
00:40:49.000 What we feel.
00:40:50.000 I don't care if I'm represented on the screen.
00:40:51.000 You know how I know that?
00:40:52.000 Because back in the 90s when I was going to high school, I could care less if it was all black people on the scene. 1.00
00:40:58.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:40:59.000 I did not care what song was sung by who.
00:41:01.000 If it was a good song, I liked it.
00:41:03.000 If it's a good TV show, I liked it as a good movie.
00:41:05.000 I liked it.
00:41:06.000 Will Smith, the Huxables, all these things.
00:41:08.000 I almost wish we could go back to that kind of thinking.
00:41:11.000 Because for us, and I grew up in a very, very lower middle class, mixed area.
00:41:16.000 So it's not like I had some white privileged school I was at.
00:41:19.000 I was in a place where it could have absolutely been a throwdown between the blacks, Hispanics, and the whites. 1.00
00:41:24.000 And the Asians were just the really smart people that already screwed up all the curves for us in the classes. 1.00
00:41:29.000 Everybody didn't care.
00:41:31.000 Nobody cared.
00:41:32.000 Yeah, but with these Marvel things, it's like they got to have all these different races and stuff, and that's fine representing culture.
00:41:37.000 I get that.
00:41:38.000 Little kids want to look up.
00:41:39.000 There's little Muslim kids want to see a Muslim hero, little Muslim girls, and there was the one with the little Miss Marvel, I think, or what is it?
00:41:46.000 Kamala Khan.
00:41:47.000 Kamala Khan, yeah.
00:41:48.000 I can't remember what her name was, but Miss Marvel. 0.98
00:41:52.000 Yeah, so yeah, I think that's cool, but what's annoying is when you're watching this and part of her backstory is white people did this to me.
00:41:59.000 Right.
00:42:00.000 Or America made me part of my struggle and my backstory is white people, men, or America or whatever.
00:42:11.000 If you reverse the roles, if it was like, you know, Captain America, his backstory was, you know, back in the 30s when he was a kid in New York City, he got beat up by black kids.
00:42:20.000 He'd be like, whoa, dude.
00:42:23.000 That's inappropriate.
00:42:25.000 Yeah, a little bit.
00:42:26.000 That's kind of how they go.
00:42:27.000 Next chat.
00:42:28.000 All right.
00:42:28.000 Next chat from M. Huagen.
00:42:31.000 Question for the crew.
00:42:32.000 With 4th of July coming up, I'm wondering if you have any good book or documentaries recommendations for deep diving into actual unbiased history.
00:42:41.000 I think one of the authors that I've read, McCullough?
00:42:44.000 Sounds right.
00:42:45.000 I'll look it up here in just a second before we go.
00:42:47.000 But I would actually encourage everybody to do some deep diving into the history of the American Revolution, what it was like at the time, because I think we've glossed over it so much because we're so far removed from it.
00:42:59.000 And right, I understand that.
00:43:00.000 I get it.
00:43:01.000 But to really fully have an appreciation for the freedoms that we have today, it's very helpful to understand what they put on the line and how that can kind of translate to today and how we feel about what we have and whether we're willing to, you know, figuratively.
00:43:17.000 And, you know, at some point, if somebody ever tried to invade and take over this country, you actually physically have to fight for it.
00:43:22.000 And that could be theoretically an ideology as well.
00:43:25.000 Again, not saying anybody take to the streets or anything like that, but I'm saying at some point, if people are trying to make this country something that it is not and you've exhausted all other options, that's what these guys did.
00:43:37.000 They basically just said, hey, screw it.
00:43:39.000 This could end up with all of, like, think about this.
00:43:41.000 Like, you know, I have three kids right now.
00:43:44.000 And I would be in a position where I would have to put my family at risk to go and fight people that may be in my neighborhood that are British. 1.00
00:43:53.000 And that's the kind of context and the setting that you're in when victory is far from guaranteed.
00:43:59.000 In fact, it's almost likely, more likely that you'll be defeated in this battle.
00:44:04.000 And just what that would take to get you that motivated to fight that hard to have the kind of freedoms that we have today.
00:44:10.000 And then honestly, how close to even after winning the war, we weren't able to come together as states.
00:44:15.000 That's a really interesting thing to dive into.
00:44:17.000 And you don't have to go like way deep into it, but there are several books that talk about some of the early battles in the Revolutionary War.
00:44:23.000 There you go, David McCullough.
00:44:24.000 That's a really good, really, I think it's a fairly long book, maybe about four or five hundred pages, maybe 600 pages.
00:44:30.000 Really, really good.
00:44:30.000 It's easy to read.
00:44:31.000 He does a good job of writing it, writes several other books, but it helps really kind of, and this is something that I got into for a little while because I kind of get on themes.
00:44:41.000 And World War I was a theme for a while because I didn't know as much about that as I did World War II.
00:44:44.000 And then this was like, I was like, man, I really got to understand this.
00:44:47.000 Like, how did we actually, like, that's just, it just blew my mind that these guys were willing to sacrifice so much.
00:44:53.000 And when they wrote that they were putting their lives, their sacred honor, and their treasure, I believe, I'm mixing that up a little bit.
00:44:59.000 I know it's those three elements.
00:45:01.000 When they wrote that, it's like, man, like, you're right.
00:45:04.000 You put everything on the line for this.
00:45:05.000 So I definitely think it's a good time to study it.
00:45:08.000 It gives you a greater appreciation for what we have, and it makes you want to fight harder to keep it.
00:45:14.000 And I think that's always going to be a good thing.
00:45:17.000 Or you can find my collection of encyclopedias at jfirestein.com.
00:45:21.000 I sell them for just the low price of $299 a set.
00:45:25.000 Yeah.
00:45:26.000 Nice.
00:45:26.000 Give me knowledge of the world to your library.
00:45:28.000 All right.
00:45:29.000 We'll do a couple more chats.
00:45:31.000 All right.
00:45:31.000 Next chat.
00:45:32.000 A couple after.
00:45:33.000 One more and then one more and then maybe one more and we'll see.
00:45:35.000 All right.
00:45:36.000 A Couple chats.
00:45:37.000 Next chat from Carfel.
00:45:39.000 What do you think about Trump's Nobel Prize nomination?
00:45:41.000 If Obama can get one for being black, I'd say Trump's earned one. 1.00
00:45:44.000 Please admonish Gerald for Tim.
00:45:46.000 Get well soon.
00:45:47.000 I didn't.
00:45:47.000 I mean, Tim, whatever.
00:45:49.000 I hope he feels better.
00:45:52.000 Obama didn't get a peace prize for being black.
00:45:56.000 No.
00:45:57.000 Though there is also no discernible reason why Obama got a peace prize.
00:46:01.000 I think it was healing the races by being black.
00:46:03.000 So maybe you're right.
00:46:04.000 I should be admonished.
00:46:07.000 Why did you have that so quickly at the ready?
00:46:10.000 It takes you forever to find the fact that people need to join up Rumble Premium that keeps the lights on, but the admonish button.
00:46:16.000 No, no, that one's ready to go.
00:46:18.000 Give the people what they want.
00:46:20.000 Sorry about that.
00:46:24.000 What?
00:46:28.000 I'm starting to like Ken more.
00:46:31.000 And that pains me to say.
00:46:33.000 So, no, I think.
00:46:38.000 I like that Pakistan nominated for Trump for a peace prize.
00:46:42.000 I think that entire thing is just stupid.
00:46:45.000 It's a pageant.
00:46:46.000 It doesn't matter.
00:46:47.000 It's not anymore.
00:46:48.000 I don't know that I ever cared about it.
00:46:50.000 I think it used to mean something, but now it's like a popularity contest.
00:46:53.000 Like you said, Josh, a pageant.
00:46:54.000 And I don't think it means anything.
00:46:55.000 And Pakistan will be pissed off at us for something tomorrow. 1.00
00:46:58.000 You know, probably their neighbor pooping in the streets.
00:47:01.000 Not kind of fun, but whatever.
00:47:03.000 I don't care.
00:47:04.000 I don't care about it.
00:47:05.000 Next chat.
00:47:05.000 Yeah, well, just to clarify.
00:47:08.000 Next chat.
00:47:09.000 All right, cool.
00:47:10.000 Well, whatever.
00:47:10.000 Just giving clarify.
00:47:12.000 He got the peace prize for quoting black extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.
00:47:19.000 Oh, really?
00:47:20.000 Which one specifically?
00:47:21.000 Leave it up there.
00:47:22.000 Are they Syrian, Libyan, Somalian?
00:47:25.000 Okay, so when, okay, do me a favor.
00:47:27.000 So this is really interesting.
00:47:28.000 So he has been in power for less than eight months when he was awarded the peace prize for 2009.
00:47:34.000 When did he get nominated?
00:47:37.000 Award versus nominate is a different thing.
00:47:40.000 I believe the timeline was like he got elected and got nominated for a peace prize.
00:47:45.000 It was like, you've done nothing yet.
00:47:46.000 That was a whole joke.
00:47:47.000 Like eight months in and you could do something.
00:47:49.000 It's when he was awarded the peace prize.
00:47:51.000 I don't think that had anything to do with anything he actually accomplished.
00:47:56.000 But whatever.
00:47:57.000 We're past Obama.
00:47:58.000 I get to forget about Obama.
00:48:01.000 Next chat.
00:48:01.000 And we'll take one more after this and we'll be done.
00:48:03.000 All right.
00:48:03.000 Next chat from RD Pal.
00:48:05.000 Question for the crew.
00:48:06.000 When can the government declare Democrats communists and maybe replace them with the Libertarian Party?
00:48:11.000 Well, that would be stupid.
00:48:14.000 No offense.
00:48:16.000 I'm not a huge fan of libertarianism.
00:48:18.000 It fails very, very quickly to really kind of handle a lot of complex issues.
00:48:25.000 And it's a lot of myopic thinking that I think doesn't work very practically.
00:48:29.000 And I think that's been proven in debates over and over and over again.
00:48:32.000 Even amongst libertarians, when they're debating each other, Dave Smith debated another guy, and he's supposed to be a pretty prominent libertarian thinker.
00:48:41.000 And he came up with this argument for open borders as a libertarian idea.
00:48:45.000 And it was really kind of hard for Dave to even combat that.
00:48:48.000 Now, he used some really bad logic and some of the arguments he made within that that Dave correctly pointed out.
00:48:53.000 And so Dave did a good job there.
00:48:55.000 But otherwise, it was like, how do you, as a libertarian, how do you say no to open borders?
00:48:59.000 Like, there's a lot of things that don't really make sense.
00:49:00.000 So I don't want to do that.
00:49:02.000 But I also don't want to just make all Democrats, you know, communists and do that.
00:49:05.000 Like, I want to be focused in how we do this.
00:49:07.000 We have really, really, really good ideas.
00:49:09.000 Take that to the American people.
00:49:12.000 Do, you know what?
00:49:13.000 Learn from the race in New York. 0.99
00:49:16.000 Learn what that guy did that worked.
00:49:18.000 Because there are some things that he did that spoke to people's problems on an everyday kind of basis.
00:49:24.000 And yes, he promised a lot of free stuff and no, we're not going to do that.
00:49:27.000 But take some of the nuggets of truth like, hey, speaking to the issues of the people like President Trump did, talking about the economy, talking about immigration, talking about men and women's sports.
00:49:36.000 Those are things that really resonate with people.
00:49:38.000 Let's focus a lot on that and make sure that we deliver on the promises that we make to the voters.
00:49:45.000 So that would be more, because I just, I don't like this, they're commies. 1.00
00:49:49.000 We're just going to get rid of them kind of thinking.
00:49:51.000 Not because it's not necessarily true in some cases, but I don't think it works.
00:49:55.000 I don't think practically it's something that can be executed on.
00:49:59.000 And that's not something that I think we ought to be proposing and libertarians.
00:50:04.000 I'm just not Democrats and you're not communists, but I just don't understand how you think.
00:50:10.000 Last chat.
00:50:11.000 All right.
00:50:12.000 Final chat from A Plastic Fork.
00:50:14.000 Question for the crew.
00:50:15.000 Why is it a big deal for NATO countries to offer health care and higher education, but it's fine for Israel to offer that to their citizens while getting U.S. military protection?
00:50:24.000 Wait.
00:50:24.000 Why is it a big deal for NATO countries to offer health care and higher education, but it's fine for Israel to offer that in my citizens?
00:50:29.000 No, I think it's a good point.
00:50:31.000 It's basically we're subsidizing your military, right?
00:50:33.000 But Israel has actually had to fight a lot of its own battles as well, right?
00:50:38.000 I don't know if you're familiar with the history of Israel, but they fought a lot of their own battles.
00:50:41.000 Yes, we are the only reason that they still exist as a nation, and we should be thanked as such for that.
00:50:46.000 I got it.
00:50:46.000 But at the same time, they do have a fairly decent military, right?
00:50:50.000 And they have a seriousness and a focus on the military that a lot of these other European countries don't.
00:50:56.000 You can say maybe size-wise or anything else.
00:50:59.000 You can say the civil service requirement.
00:51:01.000 Yep.
00:51:02.000 They have that.
00:51:03.000 I mean, it's not the only reason.
00:51:04.000 I'm just adding to your point.
00:51:05.000 No, they do have a civil service requirement for everybody over the age of 18.
00:51:09.000 Yeah.
00:51:10.000 Even though.
00:51:11.000 Yeah.
00:51:11.000 So South Korea has it too.
00:51:14.000 There's quite a few countries that have it.
00:51:16.000 I don't know all of them off the top of my head, but I don't think it's necessarily a great thing.
00:51:20.000 But if we're going to talk about the difference between why we, you know, are okay with, you know, socialized programs in Israel when we're not okay with them in Europe, well, maybe it's because, you know, Europeans don't want to serve their country and Israelis do. 0.71
00:51:33.000 Yeah, well, and on top of that, one of the points was I don't care if you want to have socialized programs in your country, but then don't enter into an agreement where you say you're going to spend X dollars or X percent of your GDP on your own defense and then don't do it.
00:51:45.000 I think it was more about people not living up to their agreements.
00:51:49.000 We know Israel's spending on their defense.
00:51:50.000 Yeah, they're definitely spending on the defense.
00:51:52.000 I also think we should be giving them a lot less money than we do.
00:51:55.000 Maybe even down to zero with every single country in that region.
00:51:58.000 See my bit of Pissed off Spicy Rant yesterday about that.
00:52:02.000 They are not thankful enough, but guess what?
