Louder with Crowder - Dictator Dic-Off Evil 8: Crowning the Most Hardened Criminal in History

00:00:01.000 Welcome to this day two of our Great Dictator Dickoff competition.

00:00:06.000 We're down to our final eight.

00:00:07.000 You can still place your bets on the remaining eight at DraftDictators.com.

00:00:10.000 Of course, the official bookkeeper of dictator competitions.

00:00:14.000 We are going to get to our final eight bracket, narrow it down to four, two, and declare the winner of the greatest or worst, depending on how you look at it, hopefully worst, dictator of all time.

00:00:23.000 Let's get to day two of the Great Dictator Dick Off. 0.83

00:00:26.000 So with me today, before we get to the brackets, we have of course, Lane Gingersnap, head researcher

00:00:44.000 here at Latter Earth Crowder.

00:00:46.000 On audio, they can't hear you.

00:00:47.000 You have to say hi.

00:00:48.000 Oh, hello.

00:00:49.000 And if you move the mic closer.

00:00:51.000 Yeah, it helps if you talk.

00:00:52.000 Really, there's a chair here.

00:00:53.000 Oh, you know what, it's because of the thing, the prong, the wrong spot.

00:00:57.000 And I'm sure you know by now, he ruins everything, but he's here today and day two is Captain Morgan.

00:01:02.000 We're talking about dictators and I ruin everything?

00:01:04.000 Well, you rule the office finances with an iron fist.

00:01:08.000 Oh, that's true.

00:01:09.000 I'll take some notes.

00:01:11.000 That's why we call, you don't even know, but when you're not around the office, you don't even know what people call you.

00:01:16.000 He doesn't need to.

00:01:17.000 You seemed like you were about to tell me.

00:01:18.000 I wasn't going to tell you.

00:01:20.000 The penetrator.

00:01:21.000 What?

00:01:23.000 Actually, we have... That's kind of a compliment.

00:01:27.000 And of course, because of our legal obligations, from HR, Sam is here.

00:01:32.000 Hi, Stephen.

00:01:34.000 You'll notice that I'm going to have to write myself up because I'm wearing my Jewish garb here, but I wanted to make myself loud and proud today because Herr Scheisskopf, I think, is going to be back today.

00:01:47.000 You know, there's a lot of antagonism in the office.

00:01:49.000 Is that what it is?

00:01:49.000 I thought it was a Meyer Lansky lookalike competition.

00:01:52.000 It is not, no.

00:01:53.000 No?

00:01:53.000 Okay, well you win.

00:01:55.000 So, uh, to bring... And of course you know that we had to eliminate from the brackets, because let's just be really clear, Tool Man, of course, would be unfair to include him.

00:02:05.000 Hitler, bad, horrible, right? 0.78

00:02:07.000 So Hitler is the worst dictator of all time. 0.95

00:02:09.000 There's no one who even comes close to Hitler, and I swear that I won't even insinuate that anyone here is as bad as Hitler. 0.88

00:02:13.000 It's true. 0.98

00:02:14.000 Hitler's awful, Hitler bad, yep. 0.99

00:02:16.000 No one even comes close. 0.84

00:02:17.000 So we didn't think it would be fair to use him in the Great Dictator Dick Duff.

00:02:22.000 Dick Duff, I'm sorry.

00:02:23.000 It's difficult being this childish consistently.

00:02:28.000 And we do, however, have... What was that?

00:02:31.000 I don't have my headphones on.

00:02:32.000 Oh, he's not competing.

00:02:33.000 No, he's not competing, but we do have him as a measuring stick.

00:02:36.000 So we actually compare these horrible dictators on our Hitler scale, as you saw us use yesterday.

00:02:42.000 So we rate them on a scale from one to, I mean, numerous Hitlers.

00:02:46.000 We really haven't put a cap on it.

00:02:47.000 Here to present the final eight is actually the Fuhrer himself.

00:02:53.000 We have him in studio on retainer, uh, Adolf Hitler. 0.75

00:02:55.000 Yes, you're back.

00:03:01.000 Yes.

00:03:04.000 Oh boy.

00:03:06.000 Did you hear that he's proud?

00:03:07.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:03:07.000 He's Jewish and gay! 0.98

00:03:11.000 That's a double suicide! 1.00

00:03:14.000 You're lucky you took the day off.

00:03:16.000 Day one.

00:03:16.000 Yeah, no kidding.

00:03:17.000 So our final eight, let's just show these really quickly.

00:03:20.000 You can show them as we have the Ayatollah, right, we've narrowed it down.

00:03:23.000 To the Ayatollah, who's going to be going up against Mao. 0.59

00:03:27.000 Stalin is up against Saddam Hussein.

00:03:30.000 Pol Pot, I think, is, you know, the favorite here at this point. 1.00

00:03:34.000 Up against Castro.

00:03:35.000 Kim Jong-il up against Papadok.

00:03:39.000 And Papa Doc is the dark horse, right?

00:03:42.000 Literally and figuratively.

00:03:43.000 He's like a 16 seed, right?

00:03:45.000 I think the odds now at draftdictators.com have him at a minus 900 underdog?

00:03:52.000 Is that what it is?

00:03:52.000 That's what we ended up at yesterday.

00:03:54.000 I don't think the lines have moved today.

00:03:56.000 I don't think the lines have moved because we just started the program.

00:03:58.000 So, those are the final eight brackets.

00:04:01.000 We're going to narrow this down pretty quickly to the final four.

00:04:04.000 I guess beforehand, do you have someone who you're betting on?

00:04:08.000 Of these two people?

00:04:09.000 Or overall?

00:04:10.000 Overall, I've got to go with Pol Pot, I think. 0.98

00:04:12.000 Pol Pot?

00:04:13.000 Yeah. 0.82

00:04:14.000 He killed a lot of people.

00:04:15.000 He did kill a lot of people.

00:04:16.000 As a percentage, it is the highest.

00:04:17.000 It is the highest of the population actually visited the country, so I have some insight on the Pol Pot. 0.87

00:04:21.000 Well, you just had to mention it, didn't you?

00:04:23.000 I did, yeah.

00:04:23.000 I went.

00:04:24.000 See this?

00:04:25.000 Yeah.

00:04:26.000 Sounds pretty angry.

00:04:28.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:04:29.000 I would do something about it.

00:04:30.000 Well, yeah, I know you... I don't... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, No, he wasn't technically Catholic.

00:04:44.000 He was a Catholic adjacent.

00:04:45.000 Hold on a second.

00:04:45.000 Do you hear that?

00:04:46.000 It's the sound of us just losing our Walther sponsorship.

00:04:50.000 All I know is we're number ein.

00:04:51.000 Yeah.

00:04:52.000 Right.

00:04:53.000 I don't know what that means.

00:04:54.000 Ayatollah, of course, versus Mao.

00:04:56.000 But overall, you say Pol Pot Lane?

00:04:57.000 Yeah.

00:04:58.000 Ginger Snap? 0.99

00:04:59.000 I, Mao is the one I'm riding with here.

00:05:01.000 Mao?

00:05:01.000 Well, because I just like to imagine what Mao could not like to imagine.

00:05:05.000 Yeah.

00:05:05.000 Geez.

00:05:06.000 If one were to imagine what he would have done in Pol Pot's position, I think Cambodia might not exist as an entity at all today.

00:05:06.000 Wow.

00:05:14.000 That's, that's probably true.

00:05:15.000 But you could also say that about the Viet Cong with Pol Pot, kind of created the atmosphere of Pol Pot, but we don't have any Viet Cong here.

00:05:23.000 That we know of.

00:05:23.000 Fair.

00:05:24.000 That's true.

00:05:25.000 We don't know.

00:05:25.000 It could be Viet Cong adjacent, and Sam, you can't bet.

00:05:28.000 You're precluded from betting.

00:05:30.000 I am not taking part in this whole thing there.

00:05:32.000 Well, that's OK, good, because we're not going to let you bet anyway.

00:05:35.000 It was our choice, not yours. 0.92

00:05:36.000 The Ayatollah and Mao. 0.87

00:05:38.000 Let me just give you a couple.

00:05:38.000 We're going to cycle through these pretty quickly.

00:05:40.000 We went through this yesterday.

00:05:41.000 Of course, all the references are available at lottowithcredit.com.

00:05:43.000 This was inspired by the fact that a lot of young people, they know about the Führer, but they don't know about the rest of these dictators.

00:05:50.000 I didn't learn about them in school.

00:05:51.000 We kind of skimmed over Stalin.

00:05:53.000 But Adolf Hitler left his mark, a bad one.

00:05:56.000 It's a good mark.

00:05:57.000 Yeah, it's bad.

00:05:57.000 No, bad.

00:05:59.000 Hitler bad, just to be clear. 0.83

00:06:01.000 And we wanted to ensure that everyone was able to educate themselves.

00:06:04.000 So I do encourage you to go peruse the references.

00:06:06.000 The Ayatollah, this person, of course, Awful. 0.99

00:06:11.000 Here we do, actually.

00:06:12.000 We do have just a quick clip, because we pulled these up.

00:06:14.000 Here's the Ayatollah, actually.

00:06:16.000 It's a video, I think.

00:06:17.000 Sam from HR knows us.

00:06:18.000 That's right.

00:06:19.000 He was in charge of the state without actually, the interesting fact about the Ayatollah, without actually being a government official.

00:06:24.000 Let's roll the clip, Supreme.

00:06:26.000 What is your own role in this government that is to come?

00:06:32.000 I would not have any position in the future government as such, being the president or a prime minister.

00:06:39.000 And my job is not to be a satch.

00:06:43.000 I will be some sort of supervising their activities.

00:06:48.000 I will give them guidance.

00:06:50.000 And if I see some deviation or some mistake, I will remind them how to correct it, give the general guidance.

00:06:56.000 You would be, in effect, the strong man of Iran.

00:06:59.000 In other words, you would be the strong man of Iran.

00:07:03.000 Assume it this way.

00:07:05.000 I assume it.

00:07:06.000 Yeah.

00:07:07.000 I mean, I think they had chairs in 1979 or a couch.

00:07:11.000 Why are they all sitting on the floor?

00:07:12.000 Also, they're using that term strongman very loosely.

00:07:15.000 Very, very loosely.

00:07:16.000 Well, unless you're a woman in a hijab, then he was very strong. 1.00

00:07:18.000 That's true.

00:07:19.000 His right hand was exceptionally strong.

00:07:21.000 He gots to keep your Ayatollah hand strong! 0.98

00:07:23.000 Ayatollah ain't easy!

00:07:25.000 I don't think that's a thing.

00:07:25.000 Alright.

00:07:26.000 We're going to go quickly narrow this down to the four because we want to get a little more granular.

00:07:30.000 Between the Ayatollah and Mao, certainly down to our final four bracket is going to be Mao. 0.71

00:07:36.000 For sure.

00:07:37.000 Can't really argue with that one.

00:07:38.000 Nope.

00:07:38.000 Adolph, let's put Mao in the final bracket.

00:07:41.000 Or Ayatollah.

00:07:47.000 I don't know about that.

00:07:48.000 You hated communists, didn't you?

00:07:50.000 You did.

00:07:50.000 You know, but the whole enemy of my- Kind of a mutual respect.

00:07:53.000 Yeah, kind of a mutual respect, you know, admiration. 0.65

00:07:57.000 Also, I mean, the Fuhrer is horrible as he is. 0.92

00:07:59.000 Hitler bad. 0.98

00:07:59.000 Hitler bad, right? 0.98

00:08:00.000 We all know Hitler bad. 0.92

00:08:01.000 Hitler bad. 0.98

00:08:02.000 But he has earned his theme song.

00:08:02.000 What?

00:08:04.000 Bad.

00:08:05.000 Alright, next portion of this bracket we have Stalin and Saddam Hussein. 0.85

00:08:10.000 We have Joseph Stalin and Saddam Hussein. 0.62

00:08:12.000 We talked about this again yesterday.

00:08:14.000 Stalin!

00:08:15.000 Alright.

00:08:16.000 Well, you know what, really quickly, since we're knocking out, we know we're going to knock out Saddam Hussein. 0.96

00:08:20.000 Well, hold on.

00:08:21.000 Give him his due.

00:08:22.000 He did kill his own countrymen with mustard gas, I believe.

00:08:24.000 He did.

00:08:25.000 Was it mustard gas or was it just a chemical?

00:08:29.000 I don't know exactly the component.

00:08:31.000 It was a chemical attack on his own people. 0.55

00:08:33.000 I mean, that does put him in a category, I think, by himself other than maybe Assad now. 0.61

00:08:36.000 Yes.

00:08:37.000 But, Saddam Hussein, some quick fast facts. 0.67

00:08:39.000 Let's see, what do we have here?

00:08:43.000 Oh, yeah, that's right, he did have a massive car collection, and he was famous for smoking a cigar during this... is it Bath Party?

00:08:52.000 This guy sounds so cool!

00:08:52.000 Who's Bath?

00:08:54.000 He's not cool.

00:08:55.000 And this is kind of one of the famous clips, if you haven't seen this of Saddam Hussein, he did this sitting there smoking a cigar while purging Iraq of his political opponents.

00:09:04.000 Here's a clip.

00:09:06.000 Here's the thing, everything about him is terrible except the fact that he's smoking, which looks really cool.

00:09:19.000 79 was a rough year for the region.

00:09:21.000 It was struggling.

00:09:21.000 It really was, yeah.

00:09:22.000 You know, Hitler, why are you so pro-smoking? 0.94

00:09:26.000 You didn't smoke any hell.

00:09:29.000 No, I will not.

00:09:29.000 Propagandist.

00:09:30.000 I know.

00:09:31.000 Yeah, look, hey, come on.

00:09:32.000 You guys, we'll have you take it outside afterwards, and we've already placed bets.

00:09:35.000 We already know how it goes, though.

00:09:36.000 So, let's put through to the final four.

00:09:38.000 I think we all agree here it's going to be Joseph Stalin. 0.83

00:09:41.000 One of the highest, the highest total, arguably, second highest total death count.

00:09:45.000 Mein Führer, put Joseph Stalin in the final four. 0.73

00:09:49.000 I don't want to say I'm noticing a trend, but I'm starting to notice a trend.

00:09:55.000 What's your trend?

00:09:56.000 What's the implication?

00:09:57.000 The permeating ideology that seems to come out on the whole country.

00:10:00.000 Oh yeah, that's true.

00:10:00.000 Alright, that is true.

00:10:01.000 A lot of people don't know that, because I don't know if you know this, fascism is inherently right-wing, according to Google.

00:10:06.000 Apparently.

00:10:07.000 And Merriam-Webster.

00:10:08.000 Yeah.

00:10:08.000 I'm also noticing like a starving a lot of your population to death trend.

00:10:12.000 A lot of their death count comes from that, so.

00:10:15.000 Well, they couldn't know.

00:10:15.000 Yeah.

00:10:16.000 That's the thing.

00:10:17.000 I think they could.

00:10:18.000 Yeah, well, they should have guessed.

00:10:20.000 Should have been able to figure it out.

00:10:22.000 Not killing all the teachers is probably an interesting place to start.

00:10:25.000 That's a good one, too.

00:10:25.000 That's a good one.

00:10:26.000 Or the farmers.

00:10:26.000 Yeah.

00:10:27.000 That's great.

00:10:27.000 Or the doctors.

00:10:28.000 Or, brings us to the next bracket.

00:10:31.000 We have Pol Pot and Fidel Castro.

00:10:33.000 Oh, this is a walk-off.

00:10:35.000 Was it like a 16 versus a one seed or what?

00:10:37.000 Well I think we just kind of, again we're narrowing it down to the final four, but you know you saw Saddam smoking a cigar and then of course you have Fidel Castro, he liked his cigars, but Pol Pot didn't just execute intellectuals, Pol Pot executed people who wore glasses. 0.68

00:10:49.000 Well that's interesting.

00:10:51.000 Yeah, because... Put him back on!

00:10:53.000 Okay.

00:10:55.000 Thank you, he looks so handsome.

00:10:57.000 I don't know, well... You're still bad though. 0.99

00:11:00.000 And gay now? 0.99

00:11:01.000 No, no, I'm not entirely sure. 0.98

00:11:03.000 No, no, no, Adolf, come on.

00:11:05.000 There'll be time for this later.

00:11:07.000 Why's the hat gone?

00:11:08.000 Too hot?

00:11:09.000 It's getting hot in here.

00:11:09.000 Okay, alright, it's getting hot.

00:11:11.000 So take off all your clothes.

00:11:13.000 What clip do we have here?

00:11:14.000 Okay, because we know who's going to be moving on, so, since he will not be moving on, and one thing I will say, though, Fidel Castro, we're going to connect these final four to issues that may apply today, you know, that you may be seeing kind of permeating culture today because the ideologies never die, right?

00:11:30.000 These people die, but the ideologies live on.

00:11:32.000 I mean, you can even look at the results with Joseph Stalin. 0.50

00:11:35.000 You can look at the ideas of Marx.

00:11:36.000 I mean, he was kind of, right, he kind of was a contemporary of Trotsky.

00:11:40.000 But we do notice communism existing there, but the ideas, for example, of Fidel Castro, let's not be mistaken here.

00:11:47.000 You had Michael Moore say that Cuba had better healthcare than the United States in the 2000s, right, where he went there, and he doesn't show you the fact that it's basically a Blazin' Saddles fake town, and the people who actually need healthcare can't get it, but a few people in the hospitals, that they kind of keep as show hospitals for the United States.

00:12:05.000 Fidel Castro ruled his people through what? Through fear.

00:12:08.000 This is what leftists use.

00:12:10.000 They'll try and say that the right does that. I don't know if you know this, it's hard to rule people through fear

00:12:14.000 when you allow them more First Amendment rights and more Second Amendment rights.

00:12:18.000 Also something else I'm noticing, not a lot of these fascists, these dictators,

00:12:22.000 not a lot of them permitting their citizens to remain freely armed.

00:12:27.000 Why would you?

00:12:29.000 You have to take the guns from the people, otherwise they won't get on the train.

00:12:34.000 Yeah, that's an awful way to put it, but I understand why that would be your perspective.

00:12:38.000 And it's also like taking a gift from God and slapping him in the face.

00:12:42.000 You think about Cuba, we talked about the cigars.

00:12:44.000 Think about the weather, the soil.

00:12:45.000 They don't need humidors in Cuba.

00:12:47.000 It's the perfect climate, perfect humidity, and it's a hellscape.

00:12:51.000 Compare that to California.

00:12:53.000 Yeah, same thing.

00:12:53.000 Same.

00:12:54.000 They take beautiful places and they really screw it up.

00:12:56.000 You've got to work really, really hard.

00:12:58.000 So it's not one of those situations where it's like, well, hey, look, it's the luck of the draw.

00:13:02.000 It was a time in history.

00:13:03.000 You do see a through line here where a lot of them were starting off on, you know, on third base.

00:13:09.000 Yeah.

00:13:09.000 Well, and look, I don't want to... Pol Pot's obviously going to win this and move on.

00:13:12.000 Yes, of course.

00:13:13.000 And I understand that.

00:13:14.000 But Fidel Castro isn't going to lose for lack of effort.

00:13:17.000 He tried really hard and was a really terrible person.

00:13:17.000 No.

00:13:21.000 He just had some limited abilities.

00:13:23.000 Being on an island will do that.

00:13:25.000 And I would even say that Che Guevara, worse than Castro, obviously wasn't an official dictator, but what he wanted for Cuba, what he wanted to see in the modern world, is as evil as any dictator here.

00:13:25.000 Yes.

00:13:37.000 Picture Adolf Hitler, who's bad, who's terrible, who's honestly clearly very bad. 0.99

00:13:41.000 You're a bad dude. 0.97

00:13:41.000 Every time. 0.97

00:13:42.000 All right, just get used to it.

00:13:43.000 Without the, some would call it, charm.

00:13:46.000 And I know, I know that's hard to believe, but if you can believe it, Che Guevara was less charming than Adolf Hitler, despite Tom Morello putting him on a t-shirt.

00:13:57.000 Baseball fan, Fidel Castro, fast fact.

00:13:59.000 Here he is in 2010 at a Venezuela vs. Cuba game with Hugo Chavez and I'm surpri-

00:14:05.000 The players, by the way, starving.

00:14:07.000 It really is.

00:14:21.000 It's Liam Neeson.

00:14:22.000 By the way, of course, fast fact, you may not know this, Justin Trudeau's father.

00:14:25.000 So, the winner... I'll play something.

00:14:28.000 Sure.

00:14:30.000 Winner here, clearly a walk-off, going into our final four, Pol Pot. 0.95

00:14:34.000 It's a winner.

00:14:36.000 There you go, Adolph.

00:14:37.000 Auf Wiedersehen! 0.67

00:14:39.000 Where's his theme song?

00:14:40.000 He's earned it.

00:14:41.000 Play the song!

00:14:44.000 Fine.

00:14:48.000 You know what I will say, for all of my criticisms of Adolf Hitler, he was punctual. 0.95

00:14:54.000 Except for D-Day.

00:14:56.000 Very, uh, not punctual.

00:14:58.000 Very tardy.

00:14:59.000 Someone say that was fashionably late.

00:15:00.000 It was all part of my plan.

00:15:02.000 Oh yeah, sure it was.

00:15:03.000 It was a pre-emptive tardiness.

00:15:05.000 Yes, you plan to lose?

00:15:08.000 It's a long game.

00:15:10.000 Well, how long, Mr. Third Reich? 0.95

00:15:12.000 You will see.

00:15:13.000 Okay.

00:15:15.000 I think he's just going to have a comeback every time I say something.

00:15:17.000 Yeah, pretty much.

00:15:17.000 I mean, look, it's really tough.

00:15:18.000 You're sitting in a straight down center plane.

00:15:20.000 It's hard to argue with a dead man.

00:15:21.000 To Adolf Hitler. 0.99

00:15:22.000 I'm the Fuhrer, you are the failure!

00:15:25.000 I don't think that's true.

00:15:27.000 You have no right.

00:15:28.000 All right.

00:15:29.000 Kim Jong-il versus Papa Doc.

00:15:31.000 We're going to narrow this down.

00:15:32.000 Oh boy.

00:15:33.000 I'm not going to lie to you.

00:15:35.000 Clearly, Papa Doc is going to move on.

00:15:37.000 Yeah, but not the fix is in.

00:15:37.000 Fix is in.

00:15:39.000 I just think Papa Doc's hilarious and a very good lesson in how people can be manipulated by someone who's not even really that effective.

00:15:46.000 Did he shoot a negative 38 in an 18-hole golf course?

00:15:50.000 He could have.

00:15:51.000 He looks like some guy from Police Academy.

00:15:53.000 I don't know what that technically means.

00:15:54.000 You mean with the sound effects?

00:15:55.000 Yeah.

00:15:57.000 So Kim Jong-il obviously is going to be, he's going to be knocked out here.

00:16:01.000 The great Dick Tuft.

00:16:02.000 Again, all references available at LotOfCar.com.

00:16:05.000 Of course, none of this happens without you, MugClub. 0.98

00:16:05.000 Link in the sidebar. 0.98

00:16:07.000 Look, took a risk with these two.

00:16:09.000 Hopefully it works out.

00:16:10.000 I have absolutely no idea.

00:16:11.000 This could be two days of we wish it didn't happen.

00:16:16.000 Kim Jong-il.

00:16:17.000 I remember I actually was no longer welcome at a show at a network where I worked because the day that Kim Jong-il died and they showed all of the people crying, I said something to the effect of, I think the entire nation deserves a Razzie, and if you're going to force people to lie on camera, get a nation that can act.

00:16:40.000 Not my finest joke.

00:16:41.000 I think it's pretty good.

00:16:42.000 I don't, I still, you know, I stand by the sentiment.

00:16:44.000 Yeah.

00:16:45.000 Um, and they got a lot of angry letters, I guess.

00:16:47.000 And then they asked me on air how to solve the North Korea problem.

00:16:51.000 I wasn't ready for that.

00:16:52.000 I said, I don't know, like nuke them?

00:16:56.000 To which they said?

00:16:57.000 They were like, well, we're not having you back.

00:16:58.000 I was like, well, I don't know.

00:16:59.000 You expect me to solve this crisis now?

00:17:02.000 Which problem?

00:17:03.000 Could you be more specific?

00:17:05.000 What do you want me to do?

00:17:05.000 Yeah, which problem?

00:17:06.000 I mean, I don't like them, but they're not really a threat.

00:17:08.000 I don't wake up in a cold sweat.

00:17:10.000 So, here actually is the day, or the week, or within 48 hours of Kim dying.

00:17:17.000 This was December 2011.

00:17:18.000 And for a deity, you know, he was taken out by a heart attack.

00:17:21.000 Which, if he were not a deity, and I looked at him, I would say, like, oh yeah, that guy's gonna have a heart attack.

00:17:28.000 I don't know the rules for immortals.

00:17:30.000 So, apparently something's wrong with that.

00:17:32.000 I didn't know cholesterol was the one thing that would get him.

00:17:34.000 It's like they're kryptonite.

00:17:36.000 Okay.

00:17:36.000 Is it cholesterol?

00:17:37.000 Celestial.

00:17:38.000 Yeah, sure.

00:17:40.000 Thanks Hitler. 0.96

00:17:41.000 And you know what?

00:17:42.000 The crazy thing is, apparently his good cholesterol was Also high, HDL.

00:17:46.000 Highest levels they've ever seen.

00:17:47.000 What we know about cholesterol, I don't know anymore.

00:17:50.000 So, I don't know.

00:17:51.000 Do whatever you think is best.

00:17:52.000 Listen to your doctor.

00:17:53.000 I am not one of them.

00:17:55.000 Here are the transpiring events after he died, and see if you side with 2011 Stephen, who thought the entire nation deserved a Razzie, because I thought, at the time, and still do, that it was funny.

00:18:12.000 You know when one cries like that, I bet there's a cultural difference. 1.00

00:18:19.000 Oh, you're stupid, Kim! 1.00

00:18:22.000 You guys are dead! 1.00

00:18:24.000 You're dead! 1.00

00:18:26.000 You son of a bitch! 1.00

00:18:28.000 You know when one cries like that? 1.00

00:18:34.000 I get there's a cultural difference. 1.00

00:18:36.000 Oh you stupid Kim! 1.00

00:18:38.000 Why? 1.00

00:18:40.000 The leader is dead!

00:18:42.000 The leader is dead!

00:18:43.000 Oh, come on. 1.00

00:18:45.000 Stupid Koreans. 1.00

00:18:46.000 Oh, right. 1.00

00:18:47.000 Really what they respond is, Stephen, those are crisis actors.

00:18:49.000 That is not real people at all there.

00:18:51.000 No, those are not.

00:18:52.000 We want to hide the fact that Kim Jong Il was vaxxed.

00:18:55.000 He was vaxxed, Stephen.

00:18:56.000 It was myocarditis.

00:18:57.000 No, this is all very insensitive.

00:18:59.000 Everyone is grieving and they're free to grieve in their own way.

00:19:01.000 I mean, this is just... Shut up. 0.99

00:19:07.000 What did you say? 1.00

00:19:09.000 That was the cattiest bilingual insult I've ever heard. 1.00

00:19:14.000 I don't even know what it was. 0.94

00:19:15.000 It said shut up twice.

00:19:17.000 Oh, okay.

00:19:17.000 It sounds worse than that language.

00:19:20.000 Yeah, it's a very harsh- Which language was that?

00:19:22.000 It was Korean.

00:19:23.000 South dialect.

00:19:23.000 Oh, really?

00:19:24.000 Oh, okay.

00:19:25.000 So they wouldn't recognize you as speaking their language.

00:19:28.000 I barely understand a word that they- Would they understand you in North Korea?

00:19:31.000 Probably not.

00:19:32.000 I was at the North Korean restaurant in Bangkok, and there was a family from South Korea... Wait, hold on a second.

00:19:37.000 You were in Bangkok?

00:19:38.000 To be clear, for those who don't know, this is Siam, and... Thailand?

00:19:38.000 Yeah.

00:19:42.000 There was a North Korea restaurant?

00:19:44.000 So the North Korean government operates, like, cultural outreach restaurants in a few countries in Asia, and one of them is in...

00:19:51.000 And everybody that works there has to visit.

00:19:52.000 Hold on, what's on the menu?

00:19:53.000 Bugs?

00:19:54.000 No, it's really, like, the highest quality.

00:19:56.000 It's very, very good food.

00:19:57.000 Because they're trying, they're spending a lot of money to make people think North Korea's actually not that bad. 0.92

00:19:57.000 Really? 0.92

00:20:00.000 Yeah, but they don't have any of that.

00:20:01.000 It's like duty-free dumplings.

00:20:02.000 Pyongyang has a lot.

00:20:04.000 But listening to the South Korean family try to order from the North Korean waitress, the kids couldn't do it.

00:20:10.000 The grandpa was the only one that could do it because the language has changed so much.

00:20:14.000 Wow.

00:20:15.000 Well, it's like the Tower of Babel. 0.86

00:20:17.000 It is.

00:20:17.000 I guess.

00:20:18.000 Shorter.

00:20:19.000 Well, I'm sorry, you're not going to like this, but Kim Jong-il is not making it through just because Papadak, funniest of the dictators.

00:20:25.000 Papadak is going on to our final four.

00:20:25.000 Come on.

00:20:27.000 And I'm hearing from DraftDictators.com that now he's only a plus 700 favorite.

00:20:31.000 So you can still place your bets right now.

00:20:33.000 It could be easy money.

00:20:34.000 Just put 100 down.

00:20:35.000 DraftDictators.com, the official bookkeeper of the great Dick Off.

00:20:39.000 Adolf, let's put in that final bracket.

00:20:41.000 Let's knock out Kim Jong-il.

00:20:43.000 Papadak.

00:20:47.000 That's a hell of a Final Four we got.

00:20:48.000 Yeah, one thing is not like the others.

00:20:48.000 It is.

00:20:53.000 What?

00:20:53.000 That's racist.

00:20:54.000 Yeah.

00:20:55.000 No!

00:20:55.000 Yeah, that's kind of racist, dude.

00:20:56.000 I don't want to side with- I don't stand for that kind of behavior.

00:20:59.000 Yesterday we were pretty- we were on a straight ship and now we get him in here just throwing racial insults around?

00:21:03.000 It wasn't- it wasn't the race thing.

00:21:04.000 We were better off with Nick DiPaolo.

00:21:08.000 That is saying something about me.

00:21:10.000 Did you see this?

00:21:10.000 I need to reflect.

00:21:11.000 I know- well, look.

00:21:13.000 Aw, they were so young.

00:21:15.000 So full of life!

00:21:18.000 And hatred!

00:21:18.000 You know, I'm really glad we put him on retainer because without, of course, Hitler bad, but without him on retainer for these installments, I don't think any of this works.

00:21:29.000 No, you're right. 0.82

00:21:30.000 Definitely need dead Hitler. 0.99

00:21:31.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:21:32.000 Yep.

00:21:33.000 But he's alive.

00:21:34.000 Well, in our- In the center of the universe.

00:21:35.000 Yep.

00:21:36.000 He can- Here's the thing.

00:21:36.000 Yep.

00:21:38.000 Hitler may be dead, but you can keep him alive in your hearts. 0.98

00:21:41.000 If you choose.

00:21:42.000 Now- Can I ask a question?

00:21:44.000 I don't know.

00:21:45.000 Why is the Jew- That's why I don't know if you can ask the question. 1.00

00:21:51.000 Although, now I'm intrigued.

00:21:52.000 Is this a joke?

00:21:53.000 Why is it you didn't dress like that?

00:21:55.000 He looks like a detective who just solves a case that they're not the chosen ones.

00:22:01.000 Okay.

00:22:03.000 So I will tell you a little story about this.

00:22:05.000 Please don't.

00:22:05.000 I'm sorry I asked.

00:22:06.000 Oh, you will be sorry, Herr Hitler. 0.94

00:22:08.000 We already are.

00:22:09.000 So, you know, with a lot of Orthodox Jews, the hats denote what religious movement you're in. 0.62

00:22:13.000 And if you wear the wrong hat, it's like wearing blue into blood's territory.

00:22:18.000 But all of the Jews are united against Dreckfressers like you. 1.00

00:22:22.000 So if you walk into my hood, we're gonna F you up. 0.99

00:22:26.000 Yeah, okay.

00:22:27.000 I see your tattoo as a door.

00:22:31.000 I will be talking to you after this is over.

00:22:33.000 Whatever.

00:22:33.000 I don't like any of this.

00:22:35.000 This seems like something is wrong.

00:22:37.000 I can't put my finger on it.

00:22:39.000 It does, but you know what?

00:22:40.000 We do this without a net.

00:22:41.000 Alright, let's go through our final four.

00:22:44.000 By the way, least intimidating threat ever.

00:22:47.000 Yes.

00:22:48.000 If you walk into my hood, buddy.

00:22:50.000 Yeah.

00:22:50.000 That was very Ron DeSantis.

00:22:52.000 Well, I had to combine the two.

00:22:54.000 Don't wear sideburns.

00:22:55.000 Don't wear yarmulkes.

00:22:56.000 Just stay neutral.

00:22:57.000 He needs to stay out of Boca Raton. Yeah. I'm shaking in my little hose. Yes.

00:23:10.000 Well, there you go.

00:23:11.000 The rough streets of the Boynton Beach Club.

00:23:14.000 Feeling a little gassy, Hitler?

00:23:15.000 So, Mao, we're going to go through this here, and obviously we did the... it kind of got away from us in yesterday's installment, because there's a lot of information on all these dictators, and I do think that you should be familiar with all of them, because understanding history, of course, is one of the Most effective ways to avoid repeating it, which is why we tear down statues now and erase books and rewrite them.

00:23:33.000 I don't know if you know this, the United States, you can actually see it through our whole bracket, not the first place to instate slavery and still goes on.

00:23:42.000 Over 40 million slaves across the world today because the spirit of fascism, communism, collectivism, dictators, still lives on.

00:23:50.000 So, hey, if you want to do some good in the world, educate yourself.

00:23:52.000 There's still some good that you can do.

00:23:54.000 I don't know why that's funny.

00:23:56.000 I hear people laughing.

00:23:58.000 I don't.

00:23:58.000 That's okay.

00:23:59.000 That's fine.

00:23:59.000 That might be you.

00:23:59.000 There's nothing funny about it.

00:24:00.000 It's a good way to raise your economy.

00:24:02.000 I'm just saying, if you want to feel for the plight of people, you could look at Africa, literally anywhere in the middle of the country, and see Christians getting slaughtered by the thousands, or the wrong sect of Muslims being... You're getting Hitler too excited. 0.81

00:24:17.000 Yeah.

00:24:18.000 So, maybe just stop with the fear.

00:24:19.000 And I don't think we talk about that because Africa hasn't figured out. 1.00

00:24:22.000 They do.

00:24:23.000 If you were aliens to land on planet Earth today, and you were to look at it on a 3D, you would say, oh, let's go to Africa and let's pick their brains. 0.95

00:24:32.000 No, I saw Black Panther.

00:24:34.000 I mean the leaders, by the way, not the people of Africa.

00:24:36.000 And it doesn't apply to white farmers in South Africa. 0.90

00:24:38.000 No, because you know who kills when they come here? 0.99

00:24:39.000 Nigerian-Americans. 1.00

00:24:42.000 They're great, so it's clearly not the people, it's not a DNA thing, so it's a stupid argument. 1.00

00:24:46.000 It's a terrible system. 1.00

00:24:46.000 Oh, I thought you meant literally kill. 1.00

00:24:48.000 I was lost for a second.

00:24:49.000 No, like they crush it.

00:24:50.000 That's the Haitians, which will bring us back to Papadoc. 1.00

00:24:52.000 Haitian-Americans.

00:24:54.000 Everything starts and ends with Papadoc.

00:24:56.000 Everything starts and ends with Papadoc.

00:24:56.000 It really does.

00:24:57.000 He is the Alpha and the Omega.

00:25:00.000 It's not sacrilegious, but whatever.

00:25:02.000 Yeah, no, I don't mean it, of course, but I think he's hilarious.

00:25:04.000 So, Mao, now that we're down to the final four, we can spend a little bit more time.

00:25:10.000 You know the death count if you paid attention yesterday.

00:25:12.000 It's up to 60 million, correct, Gingersnap? 0.53

00:25:16.000 Yeah, and you can get up to 60 million.

00:25:18.000 People say 40 million.

00:25:19.000 It's high enough where a lot of people died.

00:25:21.000 Tens of millions of people should be enough.

00:25:24.000 Yeah, I think.

00:25:25.000 And we'll go through the wars that he started.

00:25:28.000 The wives that he had is pretty interesting.

00:25:29.000 Sort of, I guess, the foundation that he laid for a lot of leftists here today.

00:25:33.000 And it still lives on, by the way.

00:25:35.000 And I don't mean super far back.

00:25:37.000 We'll show you some politicians who still, to this day, people who are active, who were actively inspired by Mao.

00:25:42.000 They say they look to Mao for inspiration.

00:25:44.000 This is still a real thing.

00:25:45.000 And that can only be done under this cloak of darkness, where they hope that you don't really

00:25:49.000 know a whole lot about Mao. And unfortunately, a lot of people under 30 don't. So wars that Mao

00:25:54.000 was involved with, he supported the, well, obviously North Korea in the Korean War. He

00:25:58.000 committed 250,000 volunteers to that war. Human sheep. 0.61

00:26:04.000 Not volunteers.

00:26:04.000 No. He sent them in, right, without shoes.

00:26:07.000 None of them raced there.

00:26:08.000 Barefoot quite frequently into the North Korean winter. It was a very enjoyable experience.

00:26:13.000 And I should say, before we get to shoes, obviously no guns for a lot of them. They

00:26:16.000 just went in. They were pretty much just going in the way.

00:26:18.000 Just run that way.

00:26:20.000 And you often don't realize this because we're so disconnected from evil in our modern day life.

00:26:26.000 Like, you watch a film like Braveheart, it reminds me of Longshanks, where he says, fire the arrows!

00:26:29.000 And he says, but sir, won't we hit our own troops?

00:26:31.000 He goes, yes, but we'll hit theirs as well.

00:26:34.000 You're like, oh wow, no one's that bad.

00:26:36.000 They have to make you root for William Wallace.

00:26:38.000 That's exactly what Mao did to the tune of 250,000.

00:26:44.000 Let alone the tens of millions of people dead.

00:26:47.000 What else do we have?

00:26:47.000 Oh, we actually do have a clip here, I believe, Dinger Snap.

00:26:50.000 He, of course, helped instigate the 1969 border clash with the Soviet Union.

00:26:56.000 This was Zimbabwe Island, if you don't remember this, in the Ussuri River.

00:27:01.000 Here's a clip.

00:27:05.000 On March 2, 1969, a group of Chinese troops ambushed Soviet border guards on Zhenbao Island, resulting in heavy losses on both sides.

00:27:14.000 While both sides have blamed each other for the start of the conflict, a consensus has emerged that the border crisis was a premeditated act of aggression orchestrated by the Chinese.

00:27:24.000 Interesting fact about that conflict is...

00:27:30.000 The Chinese soldiers, with the Russians, to try and, you know, get them mad, they would moon them. 0.97

00:27:35.000 To which the Russian soldiers would laugh, and they would taunt the Chinese soldiers simply with portraits of Mao.

00:27:41.000 Use Mao against Mao.

00:27:42.000 Yeah, exactly. 1.00

00:27:43.000 So, they're like, he has my ass! 1.00

00:27:45.000 And like, here's your leader! 1.00

00:27:49.000 Joke's on you! 1.00

00:27:52.000 You can say he has ass face! 1.00

00:27:55.000 And then they got really pissed off and about 70 people on each side died. 1.00

00:27:58.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:27:58.000 I mean, that part's not funny.

00:27:59.000 That part's not funny.

00:28:00.000 Well, I mean, if you start out mooning and then people die... It is funny if your last words are, look at my ass! 1.00

00:28:07.000 And then you get hit by a shell or something like that. 1.00

00:28:09.000 It's written on your tombstone as final words.

00:28:12.000 Mao did have some balls though to instigate that war knowing full well that the Soviets had nukes

00:28:18.000 that they were more than willing to use because they said we are more than willing to use these.

00:28:22.000 Sometimes you have to roll the dice.

00:28:31.000 How do we start?

00:28:32.000 I don't know, moon?

00:28:33.000 See what happens!

00:28:33.000 If they don't nuke, we move forward!

00:28:33.000 Show them your ass!

00:28:34.000 If they show you a picture, I'll beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee What? 1.00

00:28:55.000 I'm sorry.

00:28:57.000 Start off by mooning?

00:28:58.000 I thought that was just something, again, going back to Braveheart, that we saw the Scottish do, which I thought was pretty hilarious.

00:29:02.000 Yeah.

00:29:03.000 Until that one guy got shot in the butt cheek with the arrow, and I was like, ooh, that was a bad idea.

00:29:06.000 Maybe get some cover first.

00:29:07.000 But gosh, this one actually started that way.

00:29:09.000 I love it.

00:29:09.000 It's always surprising to me that they're surprised by the arrows.

00:29:13.000 Like, that's the first thing that's coming you would imagine back then on the battlefield.

00:29:16.000 It's like, okay, if we have to place a bet, what do we think is coming our way first?

00:29:20.000 Arrows.

00:29:20.000 Every single time it's arrows.

00:29:22.000 Yeah, from distance, arrows.

00:29:23.000 It's the only thing they have.

00:29:24.000 Moon them and don't face your opponent for a while.

00:29:26.000 See what happens.

00:29:27.000 Yeah.

00:29:29.000 It's even worse than when you have ballistic guns and stuff.

00:29:31.000 It's like, all right, so he's moving me.

00:29:33.000 Well, the good news is a lot of the Chinese soldiers did not. 0.96

00:29:36.000 So something else that he established was the Ministry of State Security, right?

00:29:41.000 Basically a secret police.

00:29:42.000 And this is something that you still see pretty much in every country, right?

00:29:46.000 You have covert operatives.

00:29:47.000 So I don't necessarily want to condemn them for something that is done here in the United States to varying degrees.

00:29:52.000 Interesting fact about Mao, he had several wives.

00:29:55.000 So Ginger Snap, I'll need you to help me with this. First one is Yang Kaiwei. 0.99

00:30:01.000 Yeah, that's closest.

00:30:02.000 Three children. And I guess this person was tortured and executed by Chinese nationalists?

00:30:08.000 That's a way to go. Then, He Zizhen. First name He. 0.94

00:30:14.000 Yeah.

00:30:15.000 He.

00:30:16.000 He Ji Zhen.

00:30:16.000 He.

00:30:17.000 Yeah.

00:30:17.000 Uh, six children, uh, had with her.

00:30:19.000 And then, uh, this, uh, woman sustained shrapnel wounds on the Long March.

00:30:24.000 What's the Long March?

00:30:26.000 It's when the...

00:30:26.000 Oh, that's... Long March?

00:30:28.000 No, no, Hitler, please sit down. 0.85

00:30:30.000 Yeah, we know you can march.

00:30:32.000 It's one of your strongest uniforms.

00:30:32.000 We got it.

00:30:34.000 But Hitler bad, to be clear. 0.95

00:30:35.000 Hitler bad. 0.98

00:30:36.000 Good marchers.

00:30:37.000 He's good at marching.

00:30:37.000 Yes.

00:30:38.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:30:38.000 But what is it?

00:30:39.000 The long march is when the commies were fighting the Chinese nationalists.

00:30:41.000 So Mao versus Chiang Kai-shek.

00:30:44.000 And they were in southeastern China and they marched way up north out of the mountain.

00:30:48.000 And she died.

00:30:49.000 Yeah.

00:30:50.000 It was their comeback.

00:30:51.000 It was kind of the comeback of the commies, if you will.

00:30:53.000 Well, then he also had another wife, Xiang King. 0.60

00:30:55.000 We don't need to go through all of these.

00:30:56.000 She's a Kang. 0.99

00:30:57.000 Xiang King.

00:30:58.000 And then Zhang Yufeng, who, by the way, was a drink server on Mao's private train.

00:31:02.000 And it wasn't even liquor.

00:31:04.000 Little Horn Dog.

00:31:05.000 It was just tea.

00:31:06.000 Well, what kind of tea?

00:31:06.000 Wow.

00:31:07.000 That tea from Zoolander.

00:31:08.000 Is that what it was?

00:31:09.000 Yeah.

00:31:11.000 Ten kids.

00:31:12.000 I don't know which one is most notable here, but we'll provide all these references so that you can kind of go down the rabbit hole.

00:31:17.000 It's fun.

00:31:17.000 If you're looking for something to do tonight, you'll see all these links and you can read about all of his ten screw-ups.

00:31:22.000 I wonder if ever any of those teenagers talked back to their dad.

00:31:25.000 Oh, no.

00:31:25.000 It's Mao.

00:31:26.000 No, I wish I was never born, Dad.

00:31:27.000 Well, I can take care of that, son.

00:31:29.000 Have you heard the abandoned child mountain?

00:31:32.000 We have that.

00:31:33.000 Mao was also not the best dad.

00:31:35.000 He allegedly abandoned three of his children during the Chinese Civil War.

00:31:40.000 So him and Papa Doc had something in common.

00:31:44.000 Yeah, I mean at this point, what the hell's the difference?

00:31:46.000 Might as well just put it all on the table.

00:31:48.000 This is something that's pretty interesting, right?

00:31:50.000 The Cultural Revolution.

00:31:51.000 You'll hear about this a lot, and you'll hear about this and you'll talk about it on the left, certainly on college campuses.

00:31:56.000 But they don't tell you what the Cultural Revolution was, and it's the foundation for a lot of modern leftist ideology, including what you learn in school.

00:32:04.000 This is why, actually, we do have a clip.

00:32:06.000 Anita Dunn, who was in the Obama administration, I can't remember her exact relation, we'll have it there in a lower third, has been a huge part of the DNC for a while.

00:32:16.000 And here she is saying that when looking for inspiration, she turns to great leaders in the past and she mentions, and then you go, wait, was that Mao?

00:32:23.000 Yeah, that's what she says.

00:32:24.000 And the third lesson and tip actually come from two of my favorite political philosophers.

00:32:35.000 Well, there you have it.

00:32:36.000 Some would say that's horrifying.

00:32:38.000 That's a bad thing.

00:32:39.000 She's currently serving as senior advisor in the Biden administration.

00:32:42.000 Oh, so she's not done yet.

00:32:44.000 Sorry, that was a really bad pun.

00:32:45.000 I didn't mean it.

00:32:46.000 When they ask Donald Trump, for example, and this is the problem, there's no accountability for the left in a lot of ways. And you'll notice this trend

00:32:53.000 with these dictators. Pretty much all of them lean left. And even those who would maybe be

00:32:57.000 considered more right-wing, it's really just because they were enemies of communists at that point in

00:33:00.000 time. They certainly weren't for limited government and a more free and armed citizenry. What you

00:33:06.000 see here is a lack of accountability No one can ask Anita Dunn, they can ask President Donald Trump, hey, will you condemn white supremacists and neo-Nazis?

00:33:15.000 Which he did, right?

00:33:16.000 You have that, you guys have seen the clip.

00:33:18.000 He said, I'm not talking about neo-Nazis and racists who should be condemned totally, okay?

00:33:23.000 Have we gotten that out of the way?

00:33:24.000 He went on for, I'm done with that, right?

00:33:26.000 I've condemned them.

00:33:27.000 Don't like Nazis.

00:33:28.000 Don't say I like Nazis.

00:33:31.000 They're gonna clip this.

00:33:31.000 Are you gonna clip this?

00:33:32.000 Holy hell.

00:33:35.000 And then, Anita Dunn, who serves as an advisor in the former Vice President Biden's administration.

00:33:41.000 No one will ask her, hey, you know, you know that one of the worst genocidal maniacs of all time who you look to for inspiration? 0.93

00:33:49.000 You sure about those five minutes?

00:33:52.000 Shouldn't it come up?

00:33:54.000 Somebody should have asked him, like, well, hold on.

00:33:56.000 You just made a reference to Mao.

00:33:58.000 Do you know that Mao killed maybe 60 million people and did some very, very bad things to his own children?

00:34:03.000 Like, this is not somebody you should be looking to for any kind of inspiration.

00:34:07.000 Because it's in the same breath.

00:34:08.000 Like, anytime you mention Hitler, right, this question gets asked.

00:34:11.000 Rightfully so.

00:34:12.000 Right?

00:34:13.000 Hitler bad. 0.98

00:34:13.000 Right? 0.98

00:34:13.000 We've all talked. 0.98

00:34:14.000 I'm sorry, but, you know, I'm not sorry.

00:34:16.000 Yeah.

00:34:16.000 You're bad.

00:34:17.000 And Mao should be treated the same way. 0.97

00:34:19.000 He's not.

00:34:19.000 Yes.

00:34:19.000 I think you're giving her a hard time.

00:34:21.000 We are?

00:34:22.000 She might have been talking about her cat, Meow.

00:34:24.000 Hitler, ow. 0.72

00:34:25.000 Hitler, come on. 0.98

00:34:26.000 Does that change your opinion? 0.96

00:34:26.000 She's black. 0.96

00:34:27.000 She goes to her cat for advice. 0.99

00:34:28.000 She says, hello pussycat. 0.98

00:34:29.000 I'm not saying it should.

00:34:30.000 What do you think I should do today?

00:34:31.000 And the pussycat says, meow.

00:34:35.000 I didn't know that... Hitler, you can't... You can't... You can't tell dad jokes when you never fathered children.

00:34:42.000 He tried.

00:34:44.000 I, sir, fathered a whole country!

00:34:46.000 Okay, alright.

00:34:47.000 That's true.

00:34:47.000 That's fair!

00:34:48.000 I don't like you, but that is a fair counter-argument.

00:34:48.000 You know what?

00:34:51.000 a little heated there. But something at, and Ginger's Net, we talked about this, you know,

00:34:54.000 the cultural revolution is the basis for a lot of these sort of, these guilt sessions that you'll

00:34:58.000 see, or the idea of checking your privilege, right? Yeah.

00:35:00.000 These struggle sessions, they stem, if you look at what Mao taught people, and a part of the

00:35:04.000 ideology, because you control people through guilt, and you certainly control people through

00:35:08.000 making them feel as though they need to, uh, right, pay some kind of penance for immutable

00:35:12.000 characteristics. He wanted people to repent for, like, what, what, what, in his case, would have been like

00:35:17.000 religious values.

00:35:19.000 Yeah, religious values, a lot of the academia.

00:35:22.000 Yeah, because again, like you'll see when we get to Pol Pot, those are the people that threatened his kind of control on the population.

00:35:28.000 Because if they can say, well, actually, no, it's not this.

00:35:32.000 You shouldn't plant your seeds one and a half inches apart from each other, whatever it is, you space them out a little bit, right?

00:35:37.000 He's like, Oh, no, no, that's bad.

00:35:39.000 If someone's contradicting him, then he all of a sudden doesn't seem like this deity figure, right?

00:35:43.000 Called a personality starts failing.

00:35:45.000 So you got to Get rid of the smart people first.

00:35:47.000 Right.

00:35:47.000 It was certainly based on similar identity politics.

00:35:51.000 Now, of course, in a place like, you know, Mao's China, it was much more monolithic as far as the race of people.

00:35:56.000 So they separated people through identity politics, largely through ideas or, you know, class structure.

00:36:02.000 Or, for example, if you had proclivities in certain professions, which is kind of ironic because the government pretty much dictated your profession.

00:36:09.000 And then I was like, by the way, that job you're doing, yeah, you shouldn't be doing that.

00:36:12.000 So we see that today with these struggle sessions on campus, whether it's apologizing for your whiteness, apologizing for your male privilege.

00:36:18.000 Matter of fact, I think Netflix, not a big fan, of course, because of cuties, they actually had a show three-body problem where they recreated one of these Mao-era struggle sessions.

00:36:29.000 its Clip 3 body to a man.

00:36:44.000 Nonsense!

00:36:45.000 This theory actually assumes the beginning of time!

00:36:48.000 What did you say?

00:36:50.000 So what was before the beginning of time?

00:36:54.000 That's right!

00:36:55.000 This gives the existence of God a place!

00:36:57.000 You mean to say that there is a God?

00:37:08.000 Whether there is or not, Kersh hasn't given any concrete evidence.

00:37:16.000 We want justice!

00:37:21.000 The rebels have broken out of the city wall!

00:37:23.000 Rebellion is justified! The people are innocent!

00:37:29.000 Justice! Justice! Justice!

00:37:34.000 Oh! 0.60

00:37:35.000 Assassin! 0.90

00:37:42.000 I Couldn't believe it because first of all that was a book

00:37:57.000 written by a Chinese author and So I couldn't believe the author was able to get away with 1.00

00:38:01.000 writing that but that depiction is so accurate and the scary thing

00:38:05.000 That a lot of these struggle sessions and the Cultural Revolution was led by the students

00:38:10.000 the student movement, the Red Guard, right?

00:38:13.000 And you see that the shouting down of people that you disagree with today.

00:38:17.000 Yep.

00:38:17.000 It is so apples to apples to what is going on in a lot of our universities now that it's, I don't know how you could watch that and not just be terrified of what we're getting at.

00:38:25.000 Well, yeah, go ahead.

00:38:26.000 Well, the answer that, I've watched a little bit of that, but the answer that he gave was like science has given us neither proof of God or proof that tells us that God doesn't exist.

00:38:35.000 It was a very neutral answer.

00:38:37.000 It was a very scientific answer saying, hey, I don't have anything, science can't address this issue.

00:38:41.000 And even then, like you saw his daughter, that's his daughter in the crowd, and his wife on the stage that had betrayed him because they had forced her to.

00:38:47.000 And her reaction, she knew that was a death sentence.

00:38:49.000 And I was like, that's, like, you didn't even take a position.

00:38:53.000 Right.

00:38:53.000 But the position that they were basically pushing is like, that the state, the leader is deity.

00:38:58.000 And anything else would be set up as a contradictory deity.

00:38:58.000 Yeah.

00:39:01.000 Like, you know, obviously Hitler, same thing, kind of set himself up that way. 0.73

00:39:04.000 Right.

00:39:04.000 Yeah, but that's central, by the way, to communism.

00:39:06.000 It is central to far-left ideology.

00:39:09.000 When people say religion is the cause of all wars, well, okay. 1.00

00:39:11.000 Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, these are distinctly atheist, in one form or another, regimes. 0.91

00:39:18.000 And they would kill people for being religious. 0.96

00:39:20.000 So it's human nature.

00:39:21.000 And by the way, even if you say you're not religious, even if you say that you don't believe in God, something is your God.

00:39:26.000 Everybody serves a master in some capacity.

00:39:28.000 Today, in the United States, a lot of people serve themselves as God.

00:39:30.000 They simply craft an altar and they turn themselves into an idol.

00:39:34.000 However, in these governments, the state had to be the God.

00:39:38.000 And you see this too with Mao, and it goes to Kim Jong-il, actually his father, and of course Kim Jong-un, where they encourage Children, they encourage sons, daughters to report their parents if they are not on board.

00:39:50.000 And that's very similar in a cultural way to, okay, boomer.

00:39:54.000 People will say it, by the way, even if you're like, well, hold on a second.

00:39:54.000 That's the thing, too.

00:39:57.000 You're in your early 30s.

00:39:57.000 They go, okay, boomer, just because there's a difference of opinion.

00:40:01.000 There was a point in time where people respected our elders because we thought they had wisdom to bring to the table.

00:40:06.000 A lot of people try and paint this picture of, oh, the ancient mystic, or you see this and you go, oh, the Chinese elders.

00:40:13.000 No, no, no.

00:40:14.000 They were completely disrespected if they did not fall lockstep.

00:40:16.000 Why is this so concerning too?

00:40:17.000 Specifically at this point in time, in history, where China is really the greatest threat at this point to global stability, should they choose to act up, right? 0.96

00:40:27.000 It really comes down to, does China want to come into the 21st century and start perhaps recognizing human rights?

00:40:34.000 But when you take into account that Mao's legacy still lives on, in a lot of ways, for example, a lot of older Chinese citizens still have a positive view of Mao.

00:40:43.000 day. That's an undercurrent in the culture at large there.

00:40:43.000 Wow, that's so big!

00:40:47.000 There's a 116 foot statue, right, of Mao located in, is it Tongzhou County? Yeah. Tongzhou

00:40:52.000 County. His... Wow, that's so big. Yeah.

00:40:55.000 Does it build one of me in Germany? Argentina.

00:41:00.000 Yeah.

00:41:01.000 Buenos Aires has a couple nice shots.

00:41:02.000 Five feet tall, though.

00:41:04.000 Well, we'll fill you in a little bit.

00:41:05.000 I think there's a memory lapse that takes place.

00:41:07.000 Yeah, he punched out a little early.

00:41:09.000 Yeah, he did punch out a little bit early.

00:41:10.000 But you know what?

00:41:12.000 Tim Kennedy's still finding you.

00:41:13.000 Hunting you, I should say.

00:41:15.000 He'll never find me, Tim.

00:41:19.000 Till he tricks you every time with olly olly oxen free.

00:41:22.000 I'm here!

00:41:22.000 Stop falling for it, Adolf.

00:41:24.000 You don't have to come out.

00:41:26.000 I won't.

00:41:29.000 And Mao's embalmed body?

00:41:31.000 Still on display in Tiananmen Square.

00:41:33.000 Here's a clip of his corpse.

00:41:35.000 I don't like it.

00:41:36.000 There's a very well-known place in China called Tiananmen Square.

00:41:40.000 We all know why it's so famous.

00:41:42.000 Because that's where Mao's mausoleum is.

00:41:46.000 So there used to be this dumb 600-year-old gate at Tiananmen Square, but the Communists tore it down in 1954, and when Mao died in 1976, they thought it would be a great place to put his tomb.

00:41:58.000 Under the watchful eye of dozens of heavily armed army personnel, people from all around China come to pay their respects to the great helmsman.

00:42:06.000 The mausoleum opens at 8 in the morning and closes at 4.

00:42:09.000 But so many people come to see the mummified Mao, they have to cut the line off at 12, or else the people at the end of the line wouldn't make it before closing time.

00:42:18.000 And something that you see with a lot of these dictators, to me it's kind of funny.

00:42:22.000 Like we talked about with Kim Jong Il, he had 11 holes in one in his first... Shot of negative 38, is that what it was? 0.65

00:42:28.000 Yeah, 38 under par.

00:42:29.000 Yeah, first round of golf.

00:42:30.000 It's like they sit down with a conclave, and they're like, How about I tell them I can fly?

00:42:30.000 All holes in one.

00:42:34.000 Like, no, no, it has to be realistic.

00:42:36.000 So they come up with these lies.

00:42:38.000 So you think they're a deity where it's like, hey, they're just like me, only infinitely superior.

00:42:43.000 They always love to show you how good they are at things.

00:42:46.000 And you'll notice, particularly with this region of the world, these dictators, you'll notice there's kind of a through line here, whether it's Mao, whether it's Pol Pot, whether it's Kim Jong Il, they show you how athletic they are.

00:42:58.000 You know, and marry a black man to be found, of course. 0.99

00:43:00.000 But here is Mao showing people his swimming prowess because he wanted to impress them. 0.99

00:43:06.000 them and this is just something that these narcissists, narcissistic sociopaths do. 0.96

00:43:24.000 It looks like a water birth. 0.93

00:43:27.000 Does he not believe in bathing suits?

00:43:29.000 Put your egg roll away, bro.

00:43:29.000 I don't know.

00:43:32.000 He's blinking, too, like he's never been in water before.

00:43:34.000 It burned!

00:43:37.000 How is that showing them how great of a swimmer he is?

00:43:40.000 He's not a great swimmer at all.

00:43:40.000 He's barely moving.

00:43:43.000 Was he trying to show people that he could swim really well?

00:43:45.000 A ton of people took up swimming after that, actually.

00:43:48.000 Really?

00:43:49.000 Floating on their back and kind of kicking every once in a while with 15 people around to make sure you don't drown, you tub of lard.

00:43:54.000 Yeah, well, he's buoyant.

00:43:55.000 That's the thing.

00:43:56.000 High body fat.

00:43:57.000 He's making an effort to physically improve himself, and that should be commended.

00:44:02.000 Why are you defending Mao?

00:44:04.000 I forgot he was here.

00:44:05.000 I'm not defending Mao.

00:44:07.000 It's that people of any size and any sizes healthy can improve themselves.

00:44:12.000 Yeah, Hitler. 0.84

00:44:13.000 What? 1.00

00:44:14.000 Just shut up, Sam. 1.00

00:44:16.000 No, he called you Hitler, Mr. HR. 1.00

00:44:20.000 All of you are going to be in my office after this is over.

00:44:22.000 We won't, though.

00:44:24.000 You will.

00:44:25.000 Why don't you, whenever you're ready, not right now but later, go in your office and just wait for us and we'll be there.

00:44:31.000 We'll be there Friday around dusk.

00:44:34.000 Does that work?

00:44:35.000 About 9?

00:44:36.000 I can't do that.

00:44:36.000 9.30?

00:44:38.000 You guys obviously know that. 1.00

00:44:39.000 Shut up. 1.00

00:44:40.000 I don't know what he's talking about. 0.99

00:44:41.000 Let's go on to Stalin, again, in these final brackets. 0.74

00:44:44.000 By the way, Papadoc, DraftDictators.com, the official bookkeeper of The Great Dick Off.

00:44:48.000 Turns out now it's just a 600, right?

00:44:51.000 Really?

00:44:52.000 Smart money for Papadoc.

00:44:52.000 It's changing.

00:44:54.000 People are stupid? 1.00

00:44:56.000 No. 1.00

00:44:57.000 And don't know who Pol Pot is? 0.88

00:44:58.000 It's because people are hopeful.

00:45:00.000 Let's go on to Stalin. 0.82

00:45:01.000 Now, Stalin, obviously, the numbers vary wildly.

00:45:03.000 We talked about this.

00:45:04.000 You already have the death count.

00:45:05.000 The lowest that you're looking at is about 20 million people.

00:45:07.000 People can go up.

00:45:09.000 I've seen people go as high as 40.

00:45:10.000 Communist dictatorships aren't great at record keeping.

00:45:13.000 No, they're not very good at record keeping.

00:45:15.000 How many people did you starve to death?

00:45:17.000 Well, not many.

00:45:18.000 Well, I don't know. 0.89

00:45:19.000 We killed all the people who did math!

00:45:22.000 Although, we didn't serve anybody. 0.96

00:45:22.000 Oh, well. 0.96

00:45:24.000 But we have long, long tables.

00:45:26.000 They built tables.

00:45:27.000 We have very long tables.

00:45:28.000 That's how you know I'm a powerful dictator.

00:45:29.000 I don't know why they all want long tables if they go to a dictator's office outfitter.

00:45:35.000 Yeah.

00:45:35.000 But it's just that, for some reason, that's a through line that you see.

00:45:38.000 It's impractical.

00:45:39.000 Let's look at the... They want all their friends to come over and hang out.

00:45:42.000 Yes.

00:45:42.000 No, they don't have friends.

00:45:44.000 Maybe they have a little steak, or maybe they have a fish dinner.

00:45:50.000 I don't understand the implication.

00:45:54.000 It's a party.

00:45:55.000 I don't like it.

00:45:59.000 I don't like a lot of this.

00:46:00.000 Let's look at the wars that Stalin was involved with.

00:46:03.000 Obviously, the Russo-Finnish War, that was 39 to 40.

00:46:06.000 There was a real spell of Russia at war with a lot of people.

00:46:09.000 Well, they don't play well.

00:46:11.000 Finland was forced to cede land to the Soviet Union.

00:46:15.000 100,000 Red Army soldiers actually died.

00:46:17.000 26,000 of the Finnish died.

00:46:19.000 That's a trend.

00:46:20.000 That's a through line with Russian battle tactics.

00:46:22.000 Yeah, just throw more bodies at it, throw more bodies at it, throw more bodies at it. 0.99

00:46:25.000 And I've said this in the past, that's the difference between a psychopath, Hitler, and a sociopath, where it's just, hey, you know what? 0.67

00:46:30.000 Thank you, I have feelings too.

00:46:33.000 You do have, you had feelings, unfortunately, only for a select group of people, where if you look at Stalin, he didn't even have feelings for his own people.

00:46:39.000 It was about creating this utopia, this idea, right?

00:46:42.000 The idea is the only thing that matters in human life.

00:46:46.000 Is sort of inconsequential in achieving that idea.

00:46:48.000 That's the difference between a sociopath who has no empathy and a psychopath who has a very, very warped view of reality.

00:46:54.000 And I think that if you look a lot at a lot of these dictators, you're dealing with sociopathic tendencies.

00:47:00.000 But I'm not a doctor.

00:47:01.000 There was the Continuation War, 44 through 45. 0.61

00:47:04.000 And this is where Finland, Dinnersnap attempted to try and regain some of the territory that was lost.

00:47:11.000 There was actually a famous Finnish sniper.

00:47:13.000 who allegedly killed over 500 soviets?

00:47:15.000 Jeez.

00:47:16.000 With either a sniper rifle, or the historical record's again not super accurate,

00:47:21.000 or a machine gun.

00:47:22.000 Seems to me like we should be able to narrow that down, but we've searched and we couldn't.

00:47:27.000 Luckily we have a clip.

00:47:27.000 Throughout many interviews, he consistently sidestepped questions

00:47:31.000 about the specific number of enemies he had neutralized during the war.

00:47:34.000 Official figures were anchored in Hayha's own recounts, but they came with stringent verification standards.

00:47:42.000 Each downed enemy required confirmation from his comrades, and only those who were undeniable made the tally.

00:47:48.000 If multiple snipers targeted the same foe, no count was recorded.

00:47:53.000 Only his sniping victims were counted.

00:47:55.000 His exploits with the submachine gun, a weapon he wielded with comparable mastery, Wow.

00:48:01.000 Those are good numbers.

00:48:02.000 Pretty good numbers if you can get them.

00:48:04.000 He would go high in the draft.

00:48:05.000 It's hot pick.

00:48:05.000 Yes he would.

00:48:06.000 milestone. 25 confirmed downed enemies in a single day, surpassing his previous daily best of 23.

00:48:13.000 Wow. Those are good numbers. Pretty good numbers if you can get them.

00:48:17.000 Yeah. You'd go high in the draft. Yes, he would. It's hot pick. Let's, he had a lot of sons.

00:48:24.000 Stalin, you know, he was, if nothing else, he was potent.

00:48:27.000 But something that I do think is important that you see with Stalin, and you'll see, again, how does it connect to today, really preyed on envy, right?

00:48:34.000 And this is a big part of communism.

00:48:35.000 That's why it's always kind of funny to me where they say, you know, capitalism, where they'll say that free enterprise is about greed, right?

00:48:41.000 You all know the Gordon Gekko speech.

00:48:43.000 I don't understand, and someone can explain to me, and you can comment, why it's considered greed to want to keep what it is that you have earned.

00:48:53.000 Let's grant it.

00:48:54.000 Let's say that that is greedy.

00:48:55.000 I don't understand why that is greedy, but to the left and to people like Stalin, to people like Mao, to people like Anita Dunn, Barack Obama, whether it's former Vice President Biden, they don't view it as greedy in wanting to take from your fellow citizen what you haven't earned.

00:49:10.000 Either way, let's just say there's a pie.

00:49:12.000 Okay.

00:49:14.000 If you say that, you know what, I've earned these five pieces of pie, that's greedy.

00:49:19.000 If you say, I want those five pieces of pie, even though I've done nothing for those five pieces of pie, for some reason that's inherently altruistic.

00:49:26.000 And this is a brilliant trick that you see with these dictators, what they pull, is they tell you that, no, you're actually virtuous in playing on your greed.

00:49:33.000 Don't you want what they have?

00:49:35.000 Yeah.

00:49:36.000 It's nothing that they've done or anything that you haven't done.

00:49:40.000 It's a system that's rigged against you.

00:49:42.000 Because now that it's the system that's rigged against you, it does not come down to individual responsibility, personal liberty.

00:49:47.000 It's, you need a savior.

00:49:50.000 Hey, what's got two thumbs isn't gonna commit mass genocide and will improve your life?

00:49:54.000 This guy.

00:49:56.000 Every single time.

00:49:56.000 Or woman, but let's be honest, they're not effective.

00:49:58.000 It's the guys, yeah.

00:49:59.000 That's something that you really see with Stalin.

00:50:01.000 A lot of playing on envy.

00:50:03.000 And that's of course a deadly sin.

00:50:04.000 Well, and it seems kind of weird, like Stalin, I don't think was the natural

00:50:07.000 successor for a while, but then he was kind of put in place, almost seen as kind

00:50:10.000 of somebody you wouldn't think would be the natural successor, and then came to

00:50:13.000 power. It seems like that's kind of the format. Like you end up with some kind of

00:50:19.000 You don't want to put a strongman next to you in second command because they'll just take over and take you out, basically.

00:50:23.000 So you pick somebody who you can control and then you end up picking some of the worst possible people that are weak men that have to absolutely exert all of their power that they possibly can and kill a ton of people to make sure that their weakness is never discovered, right?

00:50:36.000 So I look at that, I look at Russia today and I see that perpetuated through to today. 1.00

00:50:40.000 So I'm saying, I know these guys are pretty equally matched with Stalin and Mao, but Stalin because of what he's carried forward into Russian culture today?

00:50:49.000 I think probably still, he probably has my vote.

00:50:52.000 I know we're not there yet, but I'm just saying, like, it's, you're still feeling the effects of Stalin in a very major way in Russia today.

00:50:58.000 Yes.

00:50:58.000 Like Vladimir Putin.

00:50:58.000 But you know what, though?

00:50:59.000 Well, I agree, except for the fact that, you know, they've sanitized Mao so much.

00:51:03.000 They've done such a good job of suppressing Mao.

00:51:04.000 Some kids learn about Stalin a little bit because it's kind of imperative with World War II.

00:51:10.000 Like, you can't fully explain how it ended if you don't touch on Stalin.

00:51:14.000 They're not really required to touch on Mao.

00:51:17.000 I didn't study much of Mao at all.

00:51:18.000 I didn't study much of Mao at all.

00:51:19.000 In school you never learn a thing about Mao.

00:51:21.000 That's why Anita Duncan come out and say look to Mao and no one says wait wait what?

00:51:24.000 If she said Stalin at least a few people would have some questions.

00:51:26.000 Well the trick that they can pull and here's where I'll slightly disagree is that there

00:51:29.000 is certain elements of Stalinism that are inherently baked into the Russian system in

00:51:34.000 the psyche or whatever but the CCP is a direct continuation of what Mao started.

00:51:39.000 That was the only other kind of counterbalancing.

00:51:41.000 And right now China's kind of tricked the world into saying look at this 20 you can compare China and Russia and China looks miles ahead of it in many ways that it is. 0.90

00:51:49.000 Yeah. 0.90

00:51:50.000 And so you can look at China and kind of say well look at the economic development look at the people they've raised out of poverty and it's all bullshit but at least you can kind of make that facade. 0.52

00:51:58.000 When the system that undergirds it right now Xi is a direct return and he envies what Mao did so much he wants to be Mao so I think there's Mao's legacy is very, very strong today. 0.55

00:52:10.000 I think Mao is certainly most alive and well of these dictators today.

00:52:14.000 That would be my position.

00:52:15.000 He died off and he's had a real comeback with Xi Jinping's regime.

00:52:20.000 I don't disagree there, but I think we're dealing with more of the legacy of Stalin today with Russia than we are with Mao in China.

00:52:25.000 So I agree that Mao obviously is still very alive and well in their policy today, but I feel like China is the greater threat. 0.99

00:52:33.000 Overall, but I feel like this, the, the, the kind of the, like you said, they fooled people into thinking that, okay, we've gone to the kind of this a little bit more open system where people can go out and actually make a living and pull people out of poverty.

00:52:44.000 And we have all these great cities and technology and great things going on.

00:52:47.000 I feel like you can negotiate with that better than you can negotiate with the system that we have in Russia right now.

00:52:54.000 I may be wrong.

00:52:55.000 I don't think the system in Russia nearly as closely resembles a system that Stalin would have put in place.

00:53:00.000 So I think it's been much more transformed.

00:53:01.000 No, I mean like a strongman system.

00:53:02.000 Like it's a strongman who wields control over everybody else who wasn't necessarily a strongman to begin with.

00:53:07.000 And like Vladimir Putin was not a strongman to begin with.

00:53:10.000 Like he came into that role as like the third choice, essentially, to be in that role.

00:53:15.000 And then he seized power once he got close to it.

00:53:16.000 He seized power, but he is... He's kept it.

00:53:19.000 But he is also a direct subordinate to Mao's successor.

00:53:25.000 Well now, yeah, I guess he is.

00:53:26.000 Okay, well then maybe that makes sense.

00:53:28.000 Yeah, you know what, I gotta say, I think... You know what, see, this is the beauty of the show, is we can change our mind.

00:53:31.000 Hey, interesting fact about Stone.

00:53:33.000 He likes Asians, got it. 1.00

00:53:33.000 He actually had to push a buzzer when he was speaking so the attendees would stop clapping. 1.00

00:53:39.000 He was that loved.

00:53:40.000 Here's a clip.

00:53:42.000 No one dares to do it first with the ball.

00:53:56.000 Enough.

00:53:57.000 Enough.

00:53:57.000 Sit down, please.

00:53:58.000 A special device helps to avoid the confusion.

00:54:01.000 You will clap longer for me?

00:54:13.000 Enough! 1.00

00:54:14.000 Enough! 1.00

00:54:15.000 Sit down please.

00:54:16.000 The sony likes the shower alarm.

00:54:17.000 Oh my word.

00:54:20.000 To clean yourself!

00:54:20.000 What?

00:54:21.000 Yeah, I've heard that before.

00:54:23.000 It looked a lot like a Jimmy Kimmel set to me.

00:54:26.000 Yeah, it did.

00:54:27.000 It did look like a Jimmy.

00:54:28.000 Also, he didn't clean his pipes.

00:54:29.000 He had sour pipes.

00:54:30.000 Stalin. 0.56

00:54:31.000 He was kind of messy.

00:54:33.000 It's probably the least of his crimes though, right?

00:54:35.000 I don't know.

00:54:35.000 I think it's offensive.

00:54:36.000 You have a nice briar pipe.

00:54:37.000 That's, I mean, that's craftsmanship at its finest.

00:54:39.000 And you should respect, you should respect the hardwoods because they're more difficult to work with.

00:54:42.000 Not like a soft pipe.

00:54:43.000 You call it cast iron?

00:54:44.000 Oh my gosh.

00:54:45.000 You gotta, you gotta, you gotta sweeten the pipe by, anyone out there, any pipe smokers out there, you know what I'm talking about.

00:54:45.000 Nope.

00:54:50.000 Yeah, I'll hit you. 0.99

00:54:50.000 You just don't clean it. 0.99

00:54:51.000 My point is you don't do that to a pipe.

00:54:53.000 He could have had servants do it for crying out loud.

00:54:55.000 I'm going to call this one.

00:54:57.000 Mao moves on.

00:54:58.000 Lane convinced me.

00:54:59.000 Let's hit it.

00:55:00.000 If you're Mao moves on to the final two.

00:55:06.000 There you go.

00:55:07.000 He deserves it.

00:55:08.000 He can breaststroke right on up to the final two.

00:55:11.000 Let's knock Joseph Stahl.

00:55:12.000 Now, that must feel good for you.

00:55:13.000 Yeah, it feels great.

00:55:17.000 In fact, That's petty. 0.97

00:55:22.000 That'll show him after he beat the crap out of you. 0.98

00:55:24.000 Yeah, I'm petty. 0.99

00:55:25.000 That is pretty petty.

00:55:26.000 You should call me Tom Petty because I'm singing the boy of the song.

00:55:29.000 You know what?

00:55:30.000 Don't worry about it!

00:55:30.000 Well, maybe you should have listened to von Pallas and your other commanders who knew what they were doing while you, a lowly corporal, mustered tens of thousands of your men to their deaths.

00:55:39.000 You know what?

00:55:40.000 Maybe when you're trying to insult Hitler, you shouldn't give him helpful advice. 0.58

00:55:43.000 That's right!

00:55:43.000 I fell asleep this whole time.

00:55:45.000 Like D-Day.

00:55:47.000 Again.

00:55:48.000 We'll just let him fail, Sam.

00:55:49.000 Yeah.

00:55:51.000 Just give him enough rope.

00:55:52.000 In your people's best interest that he'd not succeed.

00:55:54.000 Alright, we're going on down now to, uh, well I guess we gotta- is it to Pol Pot or to Po- I think I lost Pol- where is Pol Pot in here, uh?

00:56:02.000 He's- he's right after Sodam.

00:56:03.000 No, I know he's right up there.

00:56:04.000 I think I have his note here somewhere.

00:56:05.000 Where's Pol Pot?

00:56:06.000 I know I've got- Pol Pot is- After Sodam Insane.

00:56:09.000 After who?

00:56:10.000 He's on page nine.

00:56:11.000 Page nine.

00:56:12.000 Boy, we did a lot.

00:56:13.000 By the way, you can thank your research team here.

00:56:15.000 None of this happens without you at Mug Club.

00:56:16.000 And, um, you know, I'm hoping that's a good thing.

00:56:20.000 Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.

00:56:24.000 Please stop.

00:56:25.000 We don't need that attachment.

00:56:26.000 That's like George W. Bush's endorsement of McCain.

00:56:29.000 Use the promo code HITLERBAD.

00:56:31.000 Yeah, you know what?

00:56:33.000 Let's put up a promo code right now. 0.95

00:56:35.000 Let's make it HITLERBAD and it's good for exactly eight hours.

00:56:39.000 HITLERBAD.

00:56:41.000 What's the discount?

00:56:42.000 What do you think?

00:56:43.000 You're the CEO, Gerald.

00:56:44.000 Nine dollars off.

00:56:46.000 That's pretty good.

00:56:49.000 I had some good ideas, I've been told.

00:56:51.000 Yeah, nine dollars a lot.

00:56:53.000 Well, marketing was your forte.

00:56:54.000 Like, I get it.

00:56:55.000 Marketing, PR, public speaking.

00:56:56.000 Okay, how else are you gonna get people to go into it?

00:56:56.000 You got it.

00:56:58.000 We need a graphic artist to design. 0.80

00:56:59.000 You think you could help us with that?

00:57:01.000 How is art?

00:57:02.000 No, I stole my designs from the Indians. 1.00

00:57:05.000 Indians? 0.96

00:57:06.000 He's talking about the swastika.

00:57:08.000 Yeah, no, the real Indians. 1.00

00:57:11.000 Feather, no, not feather, yeah.

00:57:12.000 So, Pol Pot. 0.50

00:57:17.000 Let's go through Pol Pot. 0.96

00:57:18.000 And this Pol Pot is the heavy favorite to win just because you know he I think was a scale was it six and a half Hitlers yesterday as far as a percentage of population. 0.99

00:57:26.000 People don't realize how many people were executed by Pol Pot and by the way in a really short period of time.

00:57:32.000 Right Junior Snap that's what we talked about that really is surprising.

00:57:32.000 Yeah.

00:57:34.000 Very short period of time like and he was classically educated I believe in France.

00:57:38.000 Yeah in Paris so like it's not.

00:57:38.000 Paris.

00:57:40.000 It's not like.

00:57:40.000 Radio engineering.

00:57:41.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:57:42.000 And he came back and he tried to make Cambodia into an industrial, or I'm sorry, 0.91

00:57:46.000 an agricultural powerhouse.

00:57:47.000 Basically saying, get out into the fields and plant rice and we'll become a power in the world

00:57:52.000 because people will depend on us for rice production.

00:57:54.000 And so that's when he cleaned out the cities, he killed all the teachers,

00:57:56.000 he killed the people with glasses, he split families apart.

00:57:59.000 Like there's the Killing Fields movie where there's a scene where they walk up to the chalkboard

00:58:03.000 and the kid erases the hand holding of the stick figures between parents and kids and everybody claps.

00:58:08.000 Like so disconnecting people from their families like this.

00:58:11.000 This guy did every evil thing that we've talked about, everybody else doing,

00:58:15.000 but on a much more effective scale within his own country.

00:58:18.000 If he'd have been a part of a larger society, I don't know if it would have held,

00:58:22.000 but still he tried and did incredibly bad things.

00:58:24.000 And I will tell you this, in speaking with a lot of people out there

00:58:27.000 and even reaching out to fans, of course you guys are a great sample size.

00:58:31.000 If very few people know about Mao, if everyone knows about Hitler

00:58:35.000 and a decent amount of people know about Stalin, but not with granularity that would be required

00:58:39.000 understand the misdeeds. Very few people know about Mao.

00:58:43.000 Almost no one, relatively speaking, knows about Pol Pot or the atrocities that he committed.

00:58:47.000 This was the late 70s.

00:58:48.000 Like, this wasn't that long ago.

00:58:50.000 I was in Phnom Penh in the capital city in Cambodia and you're looking at people old enough to have been around when this stuff went down.

00:58:57.000 And you're at the high school in town where they would take and imprison people.

00:59:00.000 And they had the famous picture, I think it was on the cover of maybe like Time Magazine, where it's a woman sitting straight up like this.

00:59:05.000 Well, it's because they had a metal rod that she was sitting on for her butt to go on either side of it. 1.00

00:59:10.000 and a point on the back of her head and then they had guards around so you saw a second angle from 0.97

00:59:14.000 that picture and it like they took people to that high school to then kill them. It was just a giant

00:59:21.000 place of death within the midst of that city and people that were still dealing with that are alive.

00:59:26.000 And this brings us you know we can bring this to modern issues we'll talk about some of the

00:59:30.000 history as far as the wars he was involved with. I think a big reason I mean you guys can comment

00:59:34.000 if you disagree a big reason is because yeah it goes back to the 70s that they

00:59:36.000 A lot of people like to think, hey, let's take the good from collectivism, from communism, from these ideas.

00:59:42.000 And we're at the point now, it's 2024, we're past human nature.

00:59:46.000 I mean, come on, we're not going to have genocide to that degree today.

00:59:50.000 We can have socialism without all of the baggage.

00:59:52.000 Because people may not know this, Noam Chomsky actually downplayed what Mao did.

00:59:56.000 He talked about what was going on in Cambodia and saying that there was a lot of good.

00:59:59.000 Of course, he tried to walk it back and say that he was taken out of context, but we'll provide the link here.

01:00:03.000 I encourage you to go check out this reading.

01:00:05.000 One of the most respected intellectuals in intelligentsia.

01:00:08.000 Noam Chomsky, if you read it, seems pretty cut and dry, relatively pro-Pol Pot. 0.81

01:00:14.000 To me, any pro-Pol Pot is kind of a red flag.

01:00:17.000 Yeah.

01:00:20.000 Why would you want to point to Mao?

01:00:21.000 Why would you want to point to Mao? 0.98

01:00:22.000 If you're in academia right now and you want to say, Donald Trump, fascist.

01:00:25.000 They did the same thing with George W. Bush. 0.98

01:00:28.000 Fascist, right?

01:00:29.000 NOAA effects rock against Bush.

01:00:30.000 That was a big album, right? 0.98

01:00:31.000 Green Day, fascist, fascist.

01:00:32.000 You want to say that fascism is right wing. 0.52

01:00:34.000 If people were to look to actual examples, more recent examples of fascism, I'm sure you could look at some happening really today.

01:00:40.000 Of course, we discussed Africa earlier in the program.

01:00:44.000 You go to Pol Pot. 0.92

01:00:46.000 You'd certainly go to Mao, we'll talk about Popaduk, but Pol Pot would be the most significant in recent memory. 0.97

01:00:51.000 Oh wait, that's right.

01:00:52.000 A lot of our academics were pro-Pol Pot. 0.96

01:00:55.000 A lot of our academics were trying to justify the actions really in the, you know, sort of this wake of Vietnam, and I wouldn't want to draw attention to it, so I really, if nothing else, Mao, but certainly Pol Pot, is one that you should spend a little bit more time with the research that we are providing for you.

01:01:13.000 It's an incredible, to me it's just a fascinating character study of the human condition, and one that really has been swept under the rug.

01:01:20.000 Did you learn about Pol Pot in school?

01:01:23.000 Or if you're in school, like many of you, are you learning about Pol Pot?

01:01:28.000 I'd be willing to bet that the answer is no.

01:01:30.000 No, and again, it's just another example of where the government comes in and says, this is what we'll do, right?

01:01:34.000 I just told you he wanted to become an agricultural powerhouse.

01:01:38.000 They couldn't get enough rice to feed the people planting the rice.

01:01:44.000 Much less export stuff and become some kind of a powerhouse, economically speaking.

01:01:48.000 It's the government coming in and saying, hey, we're going to do this thing this way.

01:01:53.000 And everything is the government's.

01:01:54.000 Everything that you're doing has to work towards the collective good.

01:01:57.000 And it falls on its face every time.

01:01:59.000 And that wouldn't be that bad of a problem if everybody voted for it and not having tens of millions of people die or a significant percentage of your population.

01:02:08.000 But that's always what happens.

01:02:09.000 It's not like they just try something and it's like a business failing where you reorganize and go do something else.

01:02:14.000 It's that millions of people end up dying and it's the same pattern every single time they try it.

01:02:24.000 Capitalism has become a dirty word, but when I'm discussing, I'm discussing free enterprise.

01:02:29.000 I do think that we've come to a dangerous position here today through crony capitalism.

01:02:33.000 So I want to be clear.

01:02:34.000 This is where people talk about the rise of populism.

01:02:35.000 Well, that can mean different things in different areas and depending on the country by its very nature, by definition.

01:02:40.000 When you're talking about communism, socialism, The problem is, if someone is inept, let alone if someone is a sadist, if someone is evil, once you centralize that power, there's no mitigating it.

01:02:53.000 At least with free enterprise, the idea is that people either rise and fall based on the quality or the need of their product, their goods, their services, or commodities.

01:03:02.000 That is, it's a safeguard.

01:03:03.000 It's a safeguard against the human condition of corruption, of evil, of selfish motivation.

01:03:08.000 However, we do find ourselves at a point in society today, and nearly all of these people, by the way, in these five, let's call it five to ten companies, would tell you that they would be more influenced by leftist ideology than of course, for example, Adam Smith.

01:03:22.000 You have only a handful of companies now that are in charge of the vast, I would say huge swaths, I don't know if it's the vast majority, I don't want to misspeak, of our economy.

01:03:30.000 When you're talking about Alphabet, Google, you're talking about Meta, Facebook, Instagram, you're talking about a few key media companies, whether it's, you're talking about Comcast, was it ABC, ABC Disney, NBC Universal, Viacom, I believe it's Turner Comcast, News Corp, and then you really have, okay, a few big tech companies, we mentioned Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Hey, think about that.

01:03:56.000 All of these people now are controlling so much of what you can see, what you can learn, what you hear.

01:04:02.000 I mean, SEO, search engine optimization, is not a thing anymore.

01:04:06.000 They determine what it is that you see and what you read.

01:04:08.000 So it's not lost on me that Capitalism in modern America, because of the leftist ideology and because of the fact that we've picked winners and losers with our government, and just look at what we do here with the Federal Reserve for crying out loud, this is not a free market economy.

01:04:21.000 And we are going to face some of the same ills unless there's some kind of a course correction, just because when you centralize that much power, you cannot point me to an example where it's ended well.

01:04:32.000 Ever!

01:04:33.000 Including when we go just to the 1970s with Pol Pot. 0.89

01:04:36.000 That's why I think Pol Pot is so interesting.

01:04:37.000 Yeah.

01:04:38.000 Centralized power is a very, very dangerous thing.

01:04:40.000 Not saying that decentralized power guarantees good results.

01:04:44.000 Hey, but at least it gives you a fighting chance.

01:04:45.000 It does.

01:04:46.000 It allows for them, at least.

01:04:47.000 Some other notes about, oh yeah, the war is initiated here with Pol Pot. 0.86

01:04:52.000 The Cambodian Civil War, obviously.

01:04:55.000 There was, I know that he captured, how do you pronounce this?

01:05:00.000 Phnom Penh.

01:05:02.000 In 1975, you need to stretch your legs there.

01:05:05.000 Yeah, sometimes you get caged up, you need to let the old marchers loose. 1.00

01:05:10.000 Yes.

01:05:11.000 Your marchers are barking?

01:05:12.000 Yes.

01:05:16.000 Also, interesting fact, the United States dropped more bombs on Pol Pot than Japan. 0.97

01:05:21.000 Really?

01:05:22.000 True fact.

01:05:23.000 True fact.

01:05:24.000 Was that when we were fighting the Vietnamese?

01:05:26.000 In Cambodia?

01:05:26.000 Yes.

01:05:27.000 Yeah, well, so, okay.

01:05:29.000 Can't say that we didn't help.

01:05:30.000 And the commies, you know, the Cambodian commies. 0.80

01:05:33.000 Can't say that we didn't help create Pol Pot. 1.00

01:05:35.000 Yeah, but then the Vietnamese went in and took care of it. 0.86

01:05:38.000 Kicked them out of power.

01:05:38.000 Which is where my, which is an argument that I'm saving for the finals.

01:05:42.000 Oh, okay, alright.

01:05:44.000 All right, so what do we have here?

01:05:45.000 Anything else?

01:05:46.000 Okay, we have Full Pot versus Papa Doc, Dark Horse in all of this.

01:05:46.000 No, you know what?

01:05:50.000 Uh, what?

01:05:51.000 Well, that's racist.

01:05:52.000 Yeah, he keeps saying it.

01:05:53.000 Okay, fine, what do you want?

01:05:55.000 Why is he a Dark Horse?

01:05:56.000 Because he has the dark skin? 0.74

01:05:58.000 Yeah, that's what we, yeah, we insinuated.

01:05:59.000 That's not the, you guys said that.

01:06:01.000 School wasn't really your thing, huh?

01:06:02.000 Maybe he's just a dude who was working in the coal mine.

01:06:05.000 That's even, that's worse.

01:06:08.000 He's down there in the coal mine.

01:06:09.000 I do not understand the implication.

01:06:11.000 He doesn't want to make the sounds.

01:06:13.000 It's a cave-in.

01:06:15.000 You're talking about the Chileans?

01:06:16.000 Which is also a tragedy.

01:06:18.000 No, I don't know about that.

01:06:19.000 Yeah, well, that happened, I guess, when you were still dead and purgatory.

01:06:24.000 So, Papadoc.

01:06:25.000 Obviously not as consequential.

01:06:28.000 It's not... You have a fascination with Papadoc.

01:06:28.000 Okay?

01:06:33.000 I didn't miss it.

01:06:34.000 I just find something... 0.99

01:06:37.000 I just find it fascinating where a guy who clearly didn't believe any of the shit that he was peddling fooled an entire nation. 0.99

01:06:45.000 He committed. 0.99

01:06:46.000 He really did.

01:06:47.000 Committed to the role.

01:06:48.000 We talked about it yesterday, but a guy who really is effectively an atheist who tells them, like, I'm going to go into a meeting, close the door, goes in with, like, chicken bones and a skull candle.

01:06:57.000 He goes in and, you know, he's just, like, eating a TV dinner.

01:06:59.000 Yeah.

01:07:00.000 He's watching reruns of The Rifleman and like, oh, Papa Doc, we better do what he says!

01:07:04.000 Like, that is, to me, I don't, I mean, I get it's terrible for the people who had to live under his rule, sure.

01:07:10.000 Um, but it's also really funny, and I read this yesterday, but I just have to again, because I couldn't get through it.

01:07:16.000 Papadoc had his own Lord's Prayer.

01:07:19.000 Yeah.

01:07:19.000 He did?

01:07:19.000 Wait, what?

01:07:20.000 Oh, that's right, you weren't here yesterday.

01:07:21.000 I wasn't, no, I haven't seen it.

01:07:22.000 Yeah, this is something that he would make people recite.

01:07:25.000 No, it's okay.

01:07:28.000 Not for this one.

01:07:28.000 No, you can leave it on.

01:07:30.000 Although, honestly, I think at this point respect in this facet is the least of our concerns.

01:07:30.000 Halfway.

01:07:35.000 The Lord spurts, Our Doc, who art in the National Palace for Life, What?

01:07:40.000 Hallowed be thy name, by present and future generations, thy will be done, at Port-au-Prince.

01:07:49.000 And in the provinces.

01:07:50.000 Oh, okay.

01:07:52.000 Give us this day our new Haiti and never forgive the trespasses of the anti-patriots who spit every day on our country.

01:08:00.000 Let them succumb to temptation and under the weight of their venom deliver them not from any evil.

01:08:07.000 Wow, it becomes petty very quickly.

01:08:09.000 It really does. 1.00

01:08:11.000 And you have to make sure you kill those people! 1.00

01:08:13.000 I was like, wow, okay. 1.00

01:08:15.000 I love Port-au-Prince.

01:08:16.000 Yeah, Port-au-Prince and also the provinces.

01:08:18.000 Hey, how's that new Haiti coming? 1.00

01:08:20.000 Yes, exactly.

01:08:21.000 Yeah, you're asking, give us this day our new Haiti.

01:08:24.000 Well, that hasn't happened yet, bro.

01:08:25.000 You know what they say.

01:08:26.000 Old Haiti.

01:08:28.000 No, Haiti. 0.67

01:08:29.000 It's a place.

01:08:30.000 You wouldn't like the people.

01:08:31.000 Yeah, but he's old school.

01:08:32.000 He doesn't fully understand.

01:08:33.000 They don't like the food.

01:08:35.000 But to be fair, they do call New York City the Port-au-Prince of America.

01:08:40.000 Ah, yes, Mayor Adams.

01:08:42.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:08:43.000 Also the Zagreb of America. 0.90

01:08:44.000 It's also the Paris of America.

01:08:46.000 And the Tel Aviv of America.

01:08:46.000 It is.

01:08:48.000 Of course you're gonna chime in.

01:08:50.000 The funny thing is that's probably the most accurate.

01:08:52.000 It'd be more like the Jerusalem of... I feel like it's not really... I think Tel Aviv works better.

01:08:56.000 I don't know.

01:08:57.000 What are the people in Williamsburg called, Sam?

01:09:00.000 The Satmars? 0.91

01:09:02.000 Yeah, the really strict ones.

01:09:04.000 Yeah, those are the Satmars. 0.97

01:09:05.000 Yeah.

01:09:06.000 So Jerusalem, right?

01:09:07.000 I'm closer, aren't I?

01:09:08.000 Maybe.

01:09:09.000 Yeah, it depends.

01:09:10.000 Either could work.

01:09:10.000 All right, well, whatever.

01:09:12.000 You don't know.

01:09:12.000 That was surprisingly civil.

01:09:13.000 I'd like to pop with Sam from HR.

01:09:15.000 I feel like this is a coup.

01:09:16.000 I feel like he's about to take over the show.

01:09:19.000 That's what I think.

01:09:20.000 When he's nice, there's a problem.

01:09:21.000 He does have probably the legal acumen to do so.

01:09:23.000 He probably does.

01:09:24.000 Did you go to law school?

01:09:26.000 Uh, no, I was a disappointment.

01:09:28.000 I have siblings who are doctors and lawyers, but, um, you know, I was the black sheep of the family.

01:09:32.000 I went into HR.

01:09:33.000 Yeah.

01:09:34.000 Yes.

01:09:34.000 They're all disappointments.

01:09:39.000 Wow.

01:09:41.000 I think your position's pretty well known.

01:09:43.000 I don't think you have to whisper.

01:09:44.000 I didn't want him to hear me.

01:09:47.000 It still helps.

01:09:50.000 They have great ears.

01:09:54.000 We are going to have a long and serious talk after the show is over, Hitler. 0.99

01:09:58.000 Yeah, yeah, I'm sure that'll have great effect.

01:10:02.000 He'll repent of his ways, I think.

01:10:04.000 Just, let's go to the, here's a clip of, I don't even know what it is, it's just a clip of Papa Doc, I just need a second.

01:10:09.000 For this little man's believed to have executed 2,000 Haitians, and has certainly driven 30,000 into exile, and the rest into terrified silence.

01:10:18.000 All Haiti lives under the threat of his tauntaun, his bagmen, his executioners. 0.98

01:10:23.000 To provoke these overarmed bully boys is to invite a beating or death. 0.98

01:10:28.000 For each nationalized hoodlum is armed, each licensed to kill. 0.97

01:10:33.000 A missing Haitian would be unimportant and unnoticed, but a foreigner's arrest or death can be ordered only by the President. 0.99

01:10:40.000 That man with the rifle looks like Idris Elba.

01:10:43.000 Those are, like, the best-looking Haitian dudes of all time!

01:10:46.000 You know what he's doing?

01:10:46.000 He's like, you know what?

01:10:47.000 Those Nazis. 0.87

01:10:48.000 The one thing they had going for them, Hugo Boss and Marching.

01:10:51.000 These guys, they looked pretty well-dressed.

01:10:53.000 Those were Italian threads.

01:10:54.000 They were nice.

01:10:54.000 I had a very good friend of mine, Hugo.

01:10:59.000 Hugo Boss?

01:10:59.000 Yeah.

01:10:59.000 Those were pretty nice threads.

01:11:00.000 They were very nicely dressed.

01:11:02.000 Yeah.

01:11:03.000 Bad people, bad people.

01:11:04.000 Well, it's one of the few things where some people, like, Haitian-Americans would be better off in Haiti as far as those threads compared to, like, the purple suit store. 0.79

01:11:12.000 So, Papa Doc had only four children, which surprises me.

01:11:18.000 Why?

01:11:18.000 Well, I just, you know, I would think he was virile.

01:11:22.000 He's prolific.

01:11:23.000 He has four children that we know of, which is less surprising.

01:11:28.000 And his only son, watch, out of everything today, that's going to be... What, did he run out to get a pack of smokes?

01:11:38.000 Until his third son got drafted in the NBA.

01:11:45.000 You made Hitler laugh, good. 1.00

01:11:48.000 I like the racist joke.

01:11:50.000 It's so fun, you know?

01:11:53.000 Yeah, every now and then we like to have a laugh.

01:11:57.000 His only son, Jean-Claude, is the most famous.

01:12:01.000 And Jean-Claude is known as Baby Doc.

01:12:04.000 Everything about this is funny.

01:12:07.000 And he assumed the presidency from his father at age 19.

01:12:10.000 Lil Doc, to the uninitiated.

01:12:14.000 And he mismanaged the agricultural land so badly, he caused an exodus of Haitians abroad.

01:12:21.000 He looted the treasury before fleeing the country.

01:12:24.000 And when he was asked in court about the human rights abuses, his response was, deaths exist in all countries.

01:12:32.000 Facts.

01:12:32.000 Yes, you can't.

01:12:33.000 Okay, fine, Papa.

01:12:35.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

01:12:37.000 Yes, the apple doesn't fall too far from the papa in that instance.

01:12:42.000 So, you know what?

01:12:43.000 In this case, he's had a good run.

01:12:45.000 Thank you, DraftDictators.com official bookkeeper of The Great Dick Off, but I think that Papa Doc has sort of worn out his welcome here.

01:12:54.000 And the final two is going to be Mao Zedong and Pol Pot. 0.89

01:12:58.000 Führer, you may do the honors. 0.98

01:13:01.000 ♪♪ -♪ Auf der einen Lüft ein kleines... ♪

01:13:14.000 Quite the physical humorist, the chancellor.

01:13:17.000 I think it's okay.

01:13:19.000 No, it's fine.

01:13:20.000 That's good.

01:13:21.000 That's good.

01:13:24.000 They're straight.

01:13:24.000 I don't know if you noticed something.

01:13:30.000 With the final two, we're about to name our great winner of the Great Dick Off.

01:13:34.000 I just think you should answer for... Final two.

01:13:38.000 What should I answer for?

01:13:39.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:13:40.000 Well, I think you'll have to change your dating profile.

01:13:41.000 What's the... Oh, I will definitely have to change my dating profile.

01:13:43.000 What's the theme?

01:13:44.000 Yeah, what is the theme?

01:13:45.000 I don't know, just tell us.

01:13:46.000 Communism.

01:13:47.000 No, well, okay, what are the themes?

01:13:49.000 Maybe there are multiple themes?

01:13:50.000 Stalin was a communist.

01:13:51.000 Well, Asians are more successful at... Tiny eyes! 1.00

01:13:55.000 Well, you know.

01:13:56.000 That's not untrue.

01:13:57.000 I don't think the eyes themselves are tiny.

01:13:59.000 I think the... Yeah, maybe the pictures.

01:14:01.000 Yeah.

01:14:02.000 But big hearts.

01:14:03.000 Yeah, I don't know about that.

01:14:05.000 That's not how I would put it.

01:14:07.000 Small eyes, big hearts, can't lose. 1.00

01:14:08.000 Penis. 1.00

01:14:10.000 Small eyes and full hearts. 1.00

01:14:14.000 Cholesterol.

01:14:15.000 Because a lot of them died from heart failure.

01:14:18.000 I haven't noticed.

01:14:18.000 Small eyes, but they did not lack vision.

01:14:20.000 I love Asian.

01:14:21.000 I don't really have much more to say about this.

01:14:29.000 It's just funny to me that we narrow it down, and it really comes down to, I mean, this battle.

01:14:35.000 Do you think they would have liked each other?

01:14:38.000 No, the Chinese don't like the... No, they look down on that part of the world very, very much.

01:14:42.000 I know, I know, but looking at these pictures, Pol Pot looks lighter-skinned than Mao. 0.64

01:14:47.000 Is that French Riviera?

01:14:50.000 Yeah.

01:14:50.000 What is the lighting in the photos?

01:14:53.000 It could be the lighting, but I saw Mao swimming.

01:14:58.000 Well, he was a man of the people.

01:14:59.000 He was out laboring.

01:15:00.000 He was out laboring.

01:15:01.000 Yeah, you know.

01:15:01.000 He was out laboring, yeah, destroying the crops.

01:15:03.000 Floating.

01:15:04.000 I just wonder if people, if you were to look at this, you would, if you didn't have the names, one would assume Mao is Pol Pot and Pol Pot is Mao.

01:15:10.000 Like a Freaky Friday.

01:15:11.000 You could.

01:15:12.000 Communists.

01:15:12.000 Can you imagine that movie?

01:15:13.000 They'll be like, I'm in you!

01:15:14.000 You're in me!

01:15:15.000 Wah! 0.94

01:15:20.000 I don't know.

01:15:21.000 Yeah.

01:15:21.000 I gotta cancel my Saturday plans, yeah.

01:15:23.000 Yes.

01:15:24.000 Or pole, or pot-za-dong. 0.96

01:15:26.000 Pole-za-dong. 1.00

01:15:28.000 Mal-pot's pretty funny.

01:15:29.000 That sounds like my favorite gentleman's club.

01:15:31.000 Oh, okay.

01:15:32.000 Pole-za-dong? 0.99

01:15:33.000 Pole-za-dong. 1.00

01:15:34.000 I've got the dongs you can pole. 0.97

01:15:36.000 Well, you can only do it so many times before.

01:15:39.000 becomes chafing. I would say this is tough. It comes down to a total number. I think no,

01:15:44.000 can't be that the total number of deaths. Mao. Sure. Yeah.

01:15:48.000 He runs away with it. Obviously.

01:15:49.000 I know what you're thinking, like way, way worse. I think the scale is we'll bring it up. How many

01:15:53.000 Hitler's but as far as percentage of the population, you have to give that to Pol Pot. 0.90

01:15:58.000 Yeah, but so I'm going to go back to Lane's argument a little bit earlier,

01:16:04.000 how Mao has affected kind of current day stuff.

01:16:06.000 Pol Pot hasn't. 0.98

01:16:08.000 The country basically turned around after that.

01:16:11.000 They haven't become successful necessarily, but they went and- They killed everybody?

01:16:14.000 No, yeah, basically, yeah.

01:16:16.000 They hosted a survivor.

01:16:17.000 Everybody!

01:16:17.000 Yeah, well, I mean, they basically, they've moved away from that way of thinking as a country, right?

01:16:23.000 Whereas China has just continued it and perpetuated it. 0.50

01:16:27.000 So I think Mao, even though his number's bigger, Even though Pol Pot has a higher percentage, I would kind of lean towards Pol Pot. 0.96

01:16:34.000 I would go back to Mal because of how he is affecting current day.

01:16:37.000 I understand that he would be my counter argument.

01:16:40.000 I'm not saying I disagree with you.

01:16:41.000 Okay.

01:16:41.000 I'm just being a contrarian.

01:16:43.000 Because why not at this point in this program?

01:16:47.000 I think that Pol Pot was more of a personal sadist.

01:16:49.000 Yeah.

01:16:50.000 Pol Pot, I mean, really did. 0.99

01:16:52.000 Pol Pot went full throttle. 1.00

01:16:53.000 Mao still kind of tried to at least put on this veneer of, no, no, we actually know what we're doing and there's a reason that we're purging these people while keeping these as far as intellectuals.

01:17:03.000 Like Pol Pot just said, classes out!

01:17:06.000 Yeah, well, he basically said, F it.

01:17:07.000 Yeah.

01:17:08.000 Everybody gets out of the cities now.

01:17:09.000 I don't care what you do.

01:17:11.000 Right.

01:17:11.000 Everybody gets out of the cities except for some elite people.

01:17:13.000 So, yeah, I can see that.

01:17:14.000 And even in his quote, when we talked about that, he was basically saying, like, look at me.

01:17:17.000 Do I look like a... I can't remember what he said.

01:17:20.000 Do I look like a villain or do I look like a vicious person, I think was the word.

01:17:24.000 That's not really fair.

01:17:27.000 It's such a leading question from a tiny Asian man to Western Americans.

01:17:32.000 I'm not going to be intimidating.

01:17:33.000 He said, I came to carry out the struggle, not kill people.

01:17:37.000 Even now.

01:17:38.000 And you can look at me.

01:17:39.000 Am I a savage person? 0.66

01:17:40.000 Savage person.

01:17:41.000 I knew there was a V somewhere.

01:17:42.000 Vicious.

01:17:43.000 Savage.

01:17:45.000 So yeah, I mean, I get it.

01:17:47.000 It's really hard.

01:17:48.000 It really is.

01:17:49.000 Because if you put Pol Pot in China, does he kill the same percentage of the population? 0.89

01:17:54.000 Right?

01:17:54.000 Because the number would have been much, much bigger, obviously, over time.

01:17:57.000 Yeah.

01:17:58.000 With that kind of percentage.

01:17:59.000 Because if he had done what he did in Cambodia, in China, it would have been crazy.

01:18:03.000 He needs to be on a good team.

01:18:04.000 So I think it depends what you value here.

01:18:08.000 And The one thing that I would take away from Pol Pot is he had a very short reign. 0.81

01:18:15.000 Yeah.

01:18:15.000 And the Vietnamese were like, no, we don't want this anymore.

01:18:17.000 And as soon as the Vietnamese really decided they didn't want it anymore, he was out. 0.73

01:18:20.000 Yeah.

01:18:20.000 So he didn't really have much power outside of his own borders.

01:18:23.000 So that's a knock against him. 0.52

01:18:24.000 But what I will say is to your point about sadism, Mao killed a lot of people with his ineptness. 1.00

01:18:30.000 his agricultural policies, his, you know, the four pests campaign, things that were just stupid 0.99

01:18:38.000 so that resulted in starvation and people just dying. 0.99

01:18:41.000 Whereas Pol Pot came in, had three years, said I am going to straight up murder all of you and do it 0.95

01:18:47.000 how I want, when I want, for no reason. 0.59

01:18:50.000 Well, and a lot of people starved as well.

01:18:52.000 But they call them the killing fields.

01:18:53.000 It wasn't the starving fields.

01:18:55.000 Right.

01:18:55.000 It was the killing fields.

01:18:56.000 People did starve, but the majority of people that died in China were people that starved because of the Communist policy, not because of a gun to the back of the head.

01:19:03.000 Even though that did happen.

01:19:04.000 It's a different starving.

01:19:05.000 Yeah.

01:19:05.000 I mean, I guess I would take your point and say, yeah, that's right.

01:19:07.000 He was only there for really a few short years.

01:19:10.000 But that, again, brings us back to such a huge percentage of the population, and it shows you how dangerous an ideology can be like that, where, in really, I mean, in less than half a decade, talking about, was it 30 plus percent of the population?

01:19:23.000 Yeah, about a third of the country.

01:19:25.000 At least 25 percent.

01:19:26.000 At least 25 percent is the lowest estimate of the country.

01:19:28.000 Imagine, I mean, really, imagine from COVID to today.

01:19:33.000 Yeah.

01:19:34.000 Imagine a quarter of the United States being murdered.

01:19:37.000 No, I know.

01:19:37.000 That's why you put him in a population center that's higher.

01:19:40.000 Well... It's a high recorder.

01:19:43.000 I didn't hear what he said, and I don't like your response to it.

01:19:46.000 No, you shouldn't.

01:19:48.000 I don't know.

01:19:48.000 This is really tough.

01:19:49.000 This is tough.

01:19:50.000 If you have to put a vote in... If I ran it through a Madden simulation, I think it would be 5-5.

01:19:54.000 Like, because they're both, like, bad dudes.

01:19:56.000 Yeah.

01:19:56.000 It's like the Marciano-Muhammad Ali.

01:19:59.000 I think if I was leaning Mao, I think I'm going back towards Pol Pot because of the sadism factor.

01:20:04.000 Like you said, Mao made really, really bad decisions.

01:20:07.000 And to be fair, they both got boned by the Vietnamese when they tried to mess with them. 1.00

01:20:11.000 So you can't really hold that against one and not the other.

01:20:13.000 No, no, no, no.

01:20:13.000 I'm not going to hold that.

01:20:14.000 I don't know.

01:20:14.000 I think the sheer brutality and if we're going, and again, that counterfactual, if you put Pol Pot in China with that power, what could he have done?

01:20:23.000 I wouldn't even want to know.

01:20:24.000 So I think actually Pol Pot kind of probably does have a vote on that.

01:20:28.000 Next to Hitler. 0.84

01:20:28.000 Hitler's obviously number one. 0.84

01:20:30.000 Yeah.

01:20:30.000 In a bad way.

01:20:32.000 Right.

01:20:32.000 Maybe Pol Pot wins.

01:20:33.000 What do you think?

01:20:35.000 I was going to go Pol Pot, and then you put me on the Mao track, and now you're back to Pol Pot, so I feel as though you're disloyal.

01:20:41.000 No, but he made a good point about the number of people that he straight up just had killed, as opposed to making bad decisions that lead to their death, which is still really bad.

01:20:50.000 But if you're going after the person who is the worst dictator in history, it's probably not going to be the person who just made bad decisions.

01:20:57.000 It's the person who killed most of their population with a bullet.

01:20:59.000 Let's narrow this down, and I don't like what he's doing when I can't see him.

01:21:04.000 Is the Walter safe?

01:21:06.000 Is he going to do us a favor a second time?

01:21:08.000 It comes down to, I think we would all agree, the lasting impact of Mao, right?

01:21:13.000 It still lives on to this day.

01:21:14.000 And by the way, I would say, let me go back to that point because I think it's going to push me one direction.

01:21:19.000 So the lasting impact of Mao, certainly more significant than Pol Pot.

01:21:23.000 As far as personally, who was the worst?

01:21:25.000 Pol Pot. 0.89

01:21:25.000 Yeah. 0.89

01:21:26.000 Pol Pot was the worst. 0.94

01:21:26.000 If you're going to take Pol Pot the man, and they're both pretty bad, right? 0.94

01:21:30.000 We're splitting very fine straight black hairs at this point.

01:21:34.000 I would say that the legacy of Mao is not only one that had a more lasting impact, it's still one to be concerned about today.

01:21:41.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:21:42.000 It really is still, we're living under that shit. 0.99

01:21:43.000 Nobody would push for Pol Pot's kind of policies right now, right? 0.99

01:21:47.000 But people still push for Mao.

01:21:49.000 You know what I mean?

01:21:49.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:21:50.000 Well, they're not all that different as far as policies.

01:21:53.000 It's just that people feel like they can sanitize Mao enough that Anita Dunn feels comfortable.

01:21:59.000 These politicians feel comfortable going out there and saying like, yeah, actually, kind of like they do with Karl Marx.

01:22:02.000 They don't want to tell you that Karl Marx was firing off n-bombs like it was his job. 0.82

01:22:06.000 They don't want to tell you that Karl Marx was a racist.

01:22:07.000 They don't want to tell you that Karl Marx believed in violence as a means to an end.

01:22:11.000 They go, well, Karl Marx, it's a beautiful idea.

01:22:11.000 They don't want to tell you.

01:22:13.000 They kind of pull the same trick with Mao.

01:22:15.000 Yeah, but you can't.

01:22:16.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:22:16.000 You can't do that with Pol Pot.

01:22:17.000 He may have had some of the same ideology, but he just killed people, pushed people out of cities.

01:22:21.000 Nobody's going to go for that.

01:22:22.000 Nobody's going to be like, hey, Pol Pot, let's do the push people out of cities things and make everybody farmers.

01:22:26.000 Mao did that, too.

01:22:27.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:22:28.000 Not like Pol Pot.

01:22:29.000 They had a whole program for it.

01:22:31.000 Not even close to Pol Pot.

01:22:32.000 Down from the mountain into the countryside.

01:22:33.000 Yep.

01:22:34.000 That's fine, but still, he didn't kill, what, 30% of the population?

01:22:37.000 No, no, I agree.

01:22:39.000 It really depends the metric that you're valuing the most.

01:22:42.000 Because, valuing.

01:22:43.000 Sheer brutality, Pol Pot. 0.87

01:22:45.000 Lasting impact, Mao.

01:22:46.000 Yeah.

01:22:47.000 Here's one thing that I will say.

01:22:48.000 I think, to determine this, we have the final two, okay?

01:22:50.000 Draftdictators.com actually has this as kind of even right now.

01:22:54.000 Even.

01:22:54.000 So you can still place your final bets.

01:22:56.000 Both very short.

01:22:57.000 Yeah, I will say, since we have, obviously, the ultimate comparison, because Mao, Pol Pot, we all know, of course, doesn't even hold a candle to Adolf Hitler.

01:23:04.000 Hitler, bad. 0.95

01:23:04.000 Worst dictator ever. 0.95

01:23:05.000 Not even close. 0.97

01:23:06.000 Even though they killed far, far, far more people than Adolf Hitler, and just as evil as of an ideology but of course Hitler's the worst the worst 0.86

01:23:13.000 you should learn about Hitler all the time and you know these are kind of afterthoughts. Hitler 0.88

01:23:17.000 is a dick though. Yeah no absolutely just terrible and no one and you know everyone else fells in 1.00

01:23:21.000 comparison we've all we've covered that.

01:23:22.000 Agreed yeah yeah. However that's separate from the respect for the office and since we do have

01:23:28.000 Adolf here I think that uh he'd probably be closer to this in determining this is the tiebreaker all

01:23:35.000 of us are conflicted. Yeah.

01:23:36.000 We are, so what is Hitler?

01:23:38.000 What do you think, Mr. Adolf Hitler? 0.55

01:23:40.000 Well, they have this guy, and they have this guy, and if you do the math, the winner is me!

01:23:50.000 Okay, I'm just kidding, I'm joking, I'm joking.

01:23:56.000 Shameless plug.

01:23:58.000 Well, I think the worst one is the one that has the haircut of young Nick DiPaolo.

01:24:05.000 So, not a fan, huh?

01:24:06.000 Yeah.

01:24:08.000 Is it because of the haircut?

01:24:09.000 No, I think you make good arguments and... This guy really is kind of a piece of s***. 1.00

01:24:19.000 This is Shizen, this guy. 1.00

01:24:22.000 He kills his own people. 1.00

01:24:25.000 There's no difference. 0.94

01:24:26.000 They don't have different color hair, or eyes, or four eyes in your case.

01:24:32.000 Right, yeah.

01:24:32.000 Well, he wouldn't have lasted in Pol Pot's killing.

01:24:34.000 No, I'm first on the list.

01:24:35.000 I'm gonna go with this guy.

01:24:37.000 Yeah, you're gonna go with Pol Pot? 0.89

01:24:38.000 Pol Pot's the first one, I think. 1.00

01:24:38.000 You know what? 1.00

01:24:40.000 Yeah.

01:24:41.000 I think, you know what?

01:24:41.000 This guy did it by accident.

01:24:43.000 This guy, really driven.

01:24:45.000 Well, it's kind of a, it's like 60-40 accident deliberate for either one, right?

01:24:50.000 They're both pretty bad.

01:24:51.000 Alright.

01:24:51.000 Oh, man, look at this guy.

01:24:52.000 He's an idiot. 1.00

01:24:54.000 I saw him swimming, too. 1.00

01:24:56.000 Terrible form.

01:24:58.000 Yeah.

01:24:59.000 Alright.

01:25:00.000 You know what?

01:25:01.000 We'll go with Adolf. 0.93

01:25:03.000 Anyone have a problem here with going with Adolf Hitler's choice for worst dictator? 0.70

01:25:06.000 No, I think Pol Pot.

01:25:07.000 So we're in agreeance?

01:25:08.000 You all agree with Hitler? 0.99

01:25:09.000 Perfect!

01:25:10.000 No, wait, no.

01:25:11.000 Let's just skip.

01:25:12.000 Alright, yeah.

01:25:13.000 Let's finalize the board.

01:25:15.000 And the worst is Pol Pot. 0.79

01:25:17.000 Don't know how magnets work?

01:25:25.000 It's a new technology.

01:25:26.000 All right.

01:25:27.000 It's not.

01:25:29.000 We took all their best.

01:25:30.000 I think that this has been, you know, actually I'm really glad that we did this.

01:25:32.000 I think this has been, uh, um, it's been gratifying for us to work on here.

01:25:36.000 This has been a long time coming.

01:25:38.000 Um, hopefully equal parts educational as well as horrifying.

01:25:43.000 And, uh, for not, and by the way, that, that has nothing to do with the historical reasons.

01:25:48.000 Uh, just what's going on here in this studio.

01:25:51.000 And I would apologize, but I feel like you'd smell blood in the water and use it against me, so I stand by it.

01:25:57.000 This is one of those situations where, boy, this is something that everyone out there should already know.

01:26:04.000 This should be remedial.

01:26:05.000 For example, we've talked about Change My Mind.

01:26:06.000 The reason that Change My Mind started was because so many kids would say, yeah, our professors don't talk about any of this.

01:26:13.000 They don't present any of these counter arguments to whatever it is.

01:26:15.000 It could have been the Second Amendment, could have been the First Amendment, could have been immigration policy.

01:26:18.000 And this has been a long time coming because we have so many chats, if you guys are on Mug Club, we take them regularly from people saying, I don't, I realize all I know about is Hitler.

01:26:27.000 I don't know enough about these other dictators.

01:26:29.000 And this would be one of those instances where it's something that we do with every program.

01:26:33.000 And I hope that more shows follow suit.

01:26:36.000 We make all of our sources, our references publicly available, but that bibliography here for these two installments.

01:26:42.000 Probably the most important that we can provide because I really do hope that you take some time.

01:26:47.000 You know, consider it a book.

01:26:48.000 You can create a printout.

01:26:50.000 You'd probably be left with a couple thousand pages, but peruse it, learn about it, and be armed with this information moving forward so that, hey, if you need to, you can educate your professors or people in your circle who bring up Hitler and often compare people who are conservative to Hitler.

01:27:08.000 Ask them about Mao.

01:27:09.000 Ask them about today's winner, Pol Pot.

01:27:11.000 But don't tell them about how you came to find this information.

01:27:17.000 You don't need to tell anyone of what you saw here today.

01:27:20.000 Adolf Hitler, I hope I never see you again. 0.98
