Louder with Crowder - Dictator Dic-Off Sadistic 16: The Most Out of Pocket Bracket You've EVER Seen

00:00:00.000 Hey, glad to be with you.

00:00:01.000 Today we're going to do something a little different.

00:00:03.000 This has been a long time coming.

00:00:05.000 Where a lot of you have likely heard of a couple of dictators throughout history.

00:00:10.000 Probably only one you're probably familiar with.

00:00:12.000 I'm sure you can guess and comment below which dictator is most famous, but there are a lot of dictators.

00:00:18.000 Who existed throughout the ages and their body count is in the hundreds of millions.

00:00:22.000 And so we are actually going to go through each and every one today to once and for all determine

00:00:27.000 who is the most, depending how you look at it, who's the worst or most accomplished dictator

00:00:34.000 in the great dictator Diktov.

00:00:36.000 So look, we have brackets here, but before we get into the brackets, we have 16 seeds today.

00:00:52.000 I'm going to introduce to you, we have here in the studio to help us out, we have our wonderful researchers.

00:00:56.000 We have Ginger Snap Lane.

00:00:58.000 How are you, sir?

00:00:58.000 Good, good.

00:00:59.000 We have George the Greek.

00:01:01.000 Yep, who's there?

00:01:01.000 And then, because we're required to, we do have Sam from HR.

00:01:06.000 This is an HR nightmare.

00:01:07.000 I have to be here to observe all of this mishigas today. 1.00

00:01:10.000 Well, we also just needed a counterbalance because of, you know, what happened to the Jews. 0.99

00:01:15.000 So that brings us to our first point here.

00:01:17.000 I think we all agree.

00:01:20.000 Hitler bad. 0.98

00:01:21.000 Hitler terrible. 0.88

00:01:22.000 And that is the dictator you're probably most familiar with.

00:01:24.000 So.

00:01:27.000 Purpose for this is, you know, we want you to learn about the other dictators throughout history.

00:01:30.000 This is actually how this started.

00:01:32.000 A lot of young people knew about Hitler.

00:01:33.000 They didn't even, they weren't familiar with Stalin.

00:01:35.000 They weren't familiar with Mao, let alone the atrocities and how many people died.

00:01:39.000 So, again, Hitler bad. 0.92

00:01:42.000 and we're just he's the worst dictator ever no one even comes close hitler bad we'll never even consider today even though we have 16 seeds even insinuating that anyone is anywhere near as bad as hitler because he's the worst and i promise you no matter what we go through today that hitler is still the worst dictator no matter what however We think he needs to be included.

00:01:59.000 We'll take him off the board, but we'll include him as the yardstick.

00:02:03.000 We'll measure other dictators by a Hitler rating system. 0.86

00:02:07.000 Yeah, that works.

00:02:09.000 Let's go through the brackets here, but first let's just let's take Hitler off the board and bring in our assistant for today. 0.95

00:02:15.000 Guten Tag, Steven!

00:02:23.000 Why don't you go ahead and take yourself off the board there, Mein Führer. 0.96

00:02:27.000 Yeah, Adolf, let's just take him off.

00:02:30.000 And you know what?

00:02:30.000 Because of that, we had him paired up in a bracket with the Ayatollah Khomeini.

00:02:33.000 We're just going to give him a bye, I think.

00:02:36.000 Sounds fair.

00:02:36.000 Wouldn't you guys think so?

00:02:37.000 All right.

00:02:38.000 He had no shot.

00:02:39.000 No, no.

00:02:40.000 Hitler is just... Hitler is... You can grab a seat there. 0.85

00:02:44.000 I see you have some people here.

00:02:46.000 Yes.

00:02:48.000 Good to go.

00:02:48.000 I know it very well.

00:02:50.000 Yes, I do.

00:02:52.000 So, the brackets.

00:02:53.000 Let's go through this.

00:02:54.000 We'll bring up the bracket for all of you.

00:02:55.000 We have, well, Ayatollah Khamenei obviously gets a bye.

00:02:57.000 He's going to go through to the... That's not the quarterfinals.

00:03:00.000 That's the Final Eight.

00:03:02.000 Yeah, so those would be the Final 8.

00:03:03.000 Elite 8.

00:03:04.000 Elite 8.

00:03:05.000 So quarterfinals, whatever.

00:03:06.000 Okay, so we're going to go through the 16.

00:03:09.000 Then we will have the Final 8.

00:03:10.000 Then next installment will be the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and the winner.

00:03:15.000 Or loser, depending on how you look at it.

00:03:18.000 Winner? 0.99

00:03:19.000 The people were the losers. 0.99

00:03:20.000 A lot of losers. 1.00

00:03:20.000 Yes. 1.00

00:03:21.000 So the people we have are Ayatollah Khamenei.

00:03:24.000 We have Mao Zedong. 0.90

00:03:25.000 We're going to be talking about him.

00:03:26.000 We have Idi Amin. 0.92

00:03:28.000 Am I saying that correctly?

00:03:29.000 Apparently.

00:03:29.000 We have Joseph Stalin.

00:03:32.000 Pinochet is one in there.

00:03:35.000 We have, of course, Benito Mussolini.

00:03:37.000 Saddam Hussein.

00:03:39.000 Nikolai.

00:03:40.000 Sam from HR, you knew the right way to say his last name.

00:03:42.000 Ceausescu.

00:03:43.000 Ceausescu.

00:03:44.000 I need to meet with Hitler after this is over. 0.99

00:03:46.000 Come on, Yudin!

00:03:49.000 My office, after the show.

00:03:51.000 Ceausescu.

00:03:52.000 Pol Pot. 0.89

00:03:54.000 Mobutu.

00:03:55.000 I don't know how to say his last name correctly.

00:03:56.000 Do you know how to say it?

00:03:57.000 HR Sam probably has it.

00:04:00.000 Mobutu Sese Seko.

00:04:01.000 Okay.

00:04:03.000 Fidel Castro, Kim Jong-il, Hugo Chavez, Ferdinand Marcos, and then the underdog, actually, Papa Doc from Haiti, Duvalier, who I should tell you, we are bringing this to you, it's sponsored by DraftDictators.com, the best betting book in all of dictators' betting books, and Papa Doc actually right now does seem to be a plus-2200 underdog.

00:04:26.000 Yeah, at the very least.

00:04:27.000 Sounds like a good value.

00:04:29.000 Yeah, play us a couple bucks, see what happens.

00:04:31.000 Good return.

00:04:32.000 I do love a good underdog.

00:04:34.000 Yeah, well, I don't know if that I would say love.

00:04:36.000 I love how you played the anthem when he sat down also.

00:04:39.000 Thank you.

00:04:39.000 Well, of course.

00:04:41.000 So first bracket, we're going to go through this.

00:04:43.000 We have Mao Zedong and Edie Amin. 0.90

00:04:48.000 Let's go through, first off, I guess their body count here.

00:04:51.000 Let me make sure I have the cross-reference.

00:04:53.000 All right, because there's a lot of pages of dictators.

00:04:55.000 If someone actually goes through my hard drive, this is going to be a problem.

00:04:57.000 Okay.

00:04:59.000 First, all right, we have Chairman Mao Zedong.

00:05:01.000 Okay, some history here.

00:05:02.000 All references are available at lottowithcredit.com.

00:05:04.000 He was born in Xiaoshan County in the Hunan Province of China.

00:05:08.000 That's probably like a county in a state, but we don't know because we're not Chinese.

00:05:12.000 They list him as 5'11", but I don't buy it.

00:05:16.000 The weight was unknown.

00:05:18.000 His father was Mao Yuchang, was a farmer and a grain dealer, and then his mom was a Wen homemaker. 0.88

00:05:26.000 He attended Peking University, but he was not formally enrolled and did not graduate.

00:05:30.000 Researchers, how does that even work?

00:05:35.000 He just showed up?

00:05:37.000 The education system in China is very beneficial to the elites.

00:05:42.000 Xi Jinping went to Tsinghua University and got a doctorate but never actually wrote any papers.

00:05:46.000 All right, that makes sense.

00:05:58.000 Obviously the Chinese Communist Party, which effectively still exists to this day.

00:06:03.000 Accomplishments.

00:06:05.000 Again, we're not passing judgment here.

00:06:07.000 We're just looking at this objectively.

00:06:08.000 And you may not know about all these dictators.

00:06:10.000 Killed millions of his own people, Mao.

00:06:13.000 In 1949 he instituted the Laogai prison system, which was actually modeled after the Soviet gulags.

00:06:20.000 And it was used to transform criminals into new socialist men.

00:06:25.000 The body count Well, I guess it depends who you use.

00:06:29.000 These numbers, and I understand that there can be a bit of a spectrum, between 20 and 43 million people.

00:06:34.000 Do I have that right?

00:06:36.000 Yeah, that's I think even a low estimate, but it's a good start.

00:06:40.000 Yeah.

00:06:42.000 Actually, that's more Hitler. 0.73

00:06:43.000 We might as well give the stats here. 0.92

00:06:45.000 Hitler was 12 million total with the Holocaust, and that includes Holocaust, gays, Jehovah's Witnesses, I don't know what percentage they made up, and Germans with mental deficiencies. 0.89

00:06:54.000 The total number is 12 million.

00:06:55.000 So Mao is actually far surpassed the Führer.

00:06:59.000 Well, he didn't get his hands dirty like I did.

00:07:02.000 Well, I don't know.

00:07:03.000 Up to four Hitlers.

00:07:04.000 Yeah, actually that would be four Hitlers.

00:07:06.000 There you go.

00:07:06.000 So we would actually rate Mao as far as just the body count, four Hitlers.

00:07:09.000 And something too that happened, a lot of people, I think the reason they don't teach this in school with

00:07:13.000 people like Mao and Stalin, we'll get to Stalin in a little bit,

00:07:16.000 is because of course he's a communist. 0.94

00:07:17.000 And it wasn't just, um, Hitler was a psychopath. 0.99

00:07:21.000 Hitler was a psychop- I'm sorry, Mein Führer, but a psychopath- 1.00

00:07:25.000 These people were sociopaths. 0.98

00:07:26.000 Hitler, obviously, was wrong, but he did in some capacity believe that he was looking out for a very small select group of people, the Aryans, and he thought... 0.97

00:07:36.000 Hitler bad. He thought that the Jews were the problem. He obviously fabricated the idea that

00:07:40.000 they carried with them communicable diseases. But he wasn't just killing all of his own people for

00:07:46.000 no reason. Is it a psychopath who's killing someone who is handicapped, mentally deficient? 0.94

00:07:49.000 Yes, absolutely. Sociopath is someone who kills for no reason, just because. 0.75

00:07:55.000 Basically, human life lost, the ends justify the means.

00:07:58.000 And we see that with some of these dictators, like Mao, like Stalin.

00:08:02.000 Pol Pot, certainly, as a percentage of the population, was mind-numbing. 1.00

00:08:06.000 And some of it was due to incompetence.

00:08:08.000 You know, a little thing with Mao that people don't realize, he had no idea, for example, how to farm.

00:08:13.000 So when you go in and your government takes control over all of the farms, well, guess what happens?

00:08:18.000 Farming doesn't work very well.

00:08:19.000 And there was famine.

00:08:21.000 And he didn't want to take the blame, so he actually blamed the famine on the sparrows at one point.

00:08:27.000 You guys know this story.

00:08:29.000 George the Greek knows this story.

00:08:30.000 You guys can chime in wherever, because you're obviously the professionals.

00:08:32.000 The Four Pests campaign.

00:08:34.000 Yes, the pests came in.

00:08:36.000 He was like, no, it's not potassi, it's sparrow.

00:08:40.000 You kill a sparrow, you'll have all your crop back.

00:08:42.000 Armed with scatterguns, nets, and cooking pots, this proud volunteer force set out to

00:09:00.000 liberate China's skies from the sparrow once and for all. 0.96

00:09:05.000 What happened is, since the sparrows were being killed, the locusts proliferated, and

00:09:12.000 the famine got worse.

00:09:17.000 That's the problem with concentrating a lot of power in the hands of one person.

00:09:20.000 Anyway, I'm trying to think of what else we want to... Oh, he also, of course, got them embroiled in the China-Korean War.

00:09:26.000 The Great Leap Forward was really what led to the greatest famine that we kind of think of in modern American history.

00:09:32.000 Death toll, 30 million to 45 million is what we have there.

00:09:36.000 And the cultural revolution, this is from Stanford University, was millions more.

00:09:40.000 So the percentage of their population was 6.6%.

00:09:43.000 That seems pretty bad.

00:09:46.000 Well, I think we'll see some bigger numbers later.

00:09:48.000 What do you think?

00:09:48.000 What do you think, George the Greek?

00:09:50.000 Well, I mean, he's not the top.

00:09:52.000 I think he's close.

00:09:53.000 6.6%.

00:09:53.000 Yeah.

00:09:54.000 What?

00:09:54.000 Remember, China is a very big country.

00:09:57.000 There's lots of people there.

00:09:58.000 Yes.

00:09:59.000 Yeah, and it was a lot of help he got there.

00:10:02.000 Yeah, he did, well, yeah, people with the pots and pans, you know, they came together.

00:10:06.000 So there's some community aspects there.

00:10:07.000 He was married four times, had ten children, which seems like a low number considering four wives back then.

00:10:13.000 Well, like a lot of daughters probably came and went very quickly. 0.99

00:10:16.000 That's probably quite true.

00:10:17.000 Okay, so the numbers are being skewed a little bit.

00:10:19.000 Two of his sons were killed, and one was believed to be schizophrenic, and because of that never entered politics.

00:10:24.000 But a fun fact, Mal loved swimming.

00:10:43.000 He's just like us.

00:10:44.000 Yeah, he's just like you.

00:10:47.000 I guess.

00:10:48.000 I don't know.

00:10:49.000 I have no idea.

00:10:50.000 If you don't swim, he's really not like you.

00:10:53.000 So he's probably not like EDM either.

00:10:54.000 Well, he probably wasn't like all the other dictators.

00:10:55.000 Well, you know what?

00:10:57.000 Papa Doc is actually, ooh, now he's down to a plus 1600 favorite.

00:11:01.000 So for some reason the betting lines from DraftDictators.com have just changed.

00:11:04.000 He also had an above-ground pool.

00:11:06.000 He had an above-ground pool.

00:11:07.000 Nick Tavalo was in the studio.

00:11:11.000 He was cheap, if nothing else.

00:11:14.000 Didn't want to pay for the installation.

00:11:16.000 It's the era of Mussolini.

00:11:19.000 Yes, yes, yes.

00:11:20.000 The era of Mussolini.

00:11:21.000 Ok, so we have Mao Zedong and he is up against Edie Amin. 0.80

00:11:25.000 And Edie Amin, George and Ginger Snap, what do we know about Edie Amin?

00:11:30.000 I'm going to try and grab these numbers here.

00:11:31.000 The last king of Scotland.

00:11:33.000 Oh, that's right, Forrest Whitaker with the lazy eye.

00:11:35.000 Yes.

00:11:36.000 We're gonna win!

00:11:44.000 Alright, he, I mean...

00:11:45.000 He was a big dude compared to the other dictator.

00:11:47.000 6'4".

00:11:47.000 Yes, he was.

00:11:48.000 He could have been a linebacker if he would have had a better childhood.

00:11:50.000 Yes, if he had a better childhood.

00:11:51.000 He wasn't hugged enough.

00:11:52.000 Idi Amin was of course, this is what we're talking about, Uganda.

00:11:56.000 Now, I know that you guys probably believe that, you know, the continent of Africa is a land of peace that has never seen any type of conflict before we, from the New World, came in, kidnapped them, and enslaved them.

00:12:06.000 That's not all correct.

00:12:07.000 And by that I mean, none of it is.

00:12:09.000 Still war-torn.

00:12:10.000 The military is now seeking more cooperation, especially from the locals, to help fight the insurgency.

00:12:15.000 If you go to Africa today, I don't know if you know, it's not going that well, even in the good parts. 1.00

00:12:19.000 So he was actually president for life.

00:12:22.000 Uh, he was born in Koboko, Uganda.

00:12:24.000 225 pounds, 6'4".

00:12:25.000 Uh, his father, uh, well, occupation unknown.

00:12:30.000 Um, no formal education, and he's believed to have only attended school up to fourth grade.

00:12:35.000 So my point is, don't let your education define you.

00:12:37.000 You can still move on to big things.

00:12:39.000 Wouldn't say great things.

00:12:41.000 He, uh, the body count.

00:12:42.000 What do we have with the body count here for Edie?

00:12:44.000 It's not as high, 80,000 to 300,000.

00:12:48.000 But I'm assuming that the reason we have him in here That's nothing!

00:12:54.000 I'm assuming the reason we haven't been here is because of the abject cruelty, right, Idi Amin? 0.99

00:12:59.000 Yeah, you know, we didn't want to concentrate this all on Asia and Europe.

00:13:02.000 We wanted to spread the love around a little bit, see what people were doing in, you know, the African subcontinent.

00:13:07.000 Speaking of which, he actually expelled a lot of Asians and Indians, and I'll repeat myself, which destroyed their economy quite a bit.

00:13:13.000 Turns out they were quite productive.

00:13:15.000 in Uganda and these were unforeseen consequences and he uh tortured and killed um his own people

00:13:20.000 and uh launched uh the Uganda war with Tanzania so that was kind of a big one as far as percentage

00:13:26.000 of the population 2.5 percent of his total population is who he ended up killing and

00:13:32.000 so those are rookie numbers that's like that's less than half of Hitler yeah that's yeah he he's 0.78

00:13:37.000 not very favorable in this competition no now something cool about him though because it's not

00:13:42.000 Oh, very cool.

00:13:44.000 He's alleged to have fathered 43 children.

00:13:46.000 Forty-three?

00:13:47.000 Forty-three children, yeah.

00:13:49.000 I don't think he got that far with Braun.

00:13:53.000 He does have the greatest title.

00:13:56.000 The greatest title.

00:13:56.000 The what?

00:13:57.000 Oh, the boxing?

00:13:58.000 No, just like his official title here.

00:14:01.000 Oh, read the official title first.

00:14:03.000 Okay, so Idi Amin officially, His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Ahadj Dr. Idi Amin Dada, V.C., D.S.O., M.C., Lord of all Beasts of Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in general, and Uganda in particular.

00:14:21.000 Wow, that is a long- Wow!

00:14:23.000 Sounds like a Will Smith song.

00:14:27.000 And he did all that before the fourth grade.

00:14:29.000 If you didn't say his whole title, he killed you.

00:14:31.000 And the amount of medals he could fit on a jacket is very clear.

00:14:35.000 It is quite impressive.

00:14:36.000 I mean, if you look over at this chump, what are we doing, one? 1.00

00:14:38.000 I choose to do this. 0.97

00:14:43.000 He's clean!

00:14:44.000 He's quality over quantity.

00:14:46.000 That's that Hugo Boss minimalist look.

00:14:48.000 I'm clean and green!

00:14:49.000 Yes, yeah, because if nothing you were eco-friendly.

00:14:52.000 So I do think that here, actually, this is going to be one of the first rounds.

00:14:55.000 Again, we have 16 seeds.

00:14:58.000 I think we all have to give this one to Mao.

00:15:00.000 Mao Zedong.

00:15:01.000 Would we all agree?

00:15:02.000 Mao Zedong is going to move on to the final eight.

00:15:06.000 Seems like a heavy favorite coming out of round one.

00:15:08.000 Mao Zedong does seem like a heavy favorite.

00:15:10.000 No D.E.I.

00:15:11.000 No, no D.E.I.

00:15:11.000 on this one.

00:15:12.000 on this one.

00:15:13.000 Idi Amin is gone.

00:15:13.000 And that's right.

00:15:16.000 No more Idi Amin.

00:15:17.000 Oh, that's right.

00:15:20.000 I forgot.

00:15:21.000 Sorry, we have Nick DiPaolo in the studio for whatever reason.

00:15:21.000 Idi Amin.

00:15:26.000 Off camera, too.

00:15:27.000 Off camera, he was like, no, I want to sit and watch.

00:15:29.000 I was like, I don't think you want to see this.

00:15:31.000 and he saw what was going on and said, I think I do.

00:15:33.000 Idi Amin drank a glass full of his own urine every morning to start off the day. 0.62

00:15:39.000 So the best part of waking up was him and his cup.

00:15:42.000 64225?

00:15:43.000 I don't know.

00:15:44.000 The best part of waking up is pee-pee in your cup!

00:15:48.000 Well, it must have done him some good because he was the former British Army light heavyweight boxing champion in the 1950s and 1960s. 0.95

00:15:55.000 It's all that piss.

00:15:57.000 Yeah.

00:15:58.000 Fourth grade education.

00:15:59.000 Fourth grade education, drank his own urine, killed at least 80,000 people. 0.81

00:16:05.000 No notes on his swimming ability, but I'll let you make your own inferences.

00:16:11.000 Uganda.

00:16:11.000 And, you know, look, it's not really fair because we could have put him up against Pinochet in another bracket and maybe he would have made it through, but that's the nature of doing a tournament.

00:16:19.000 Life is hard, comes at you fast.

00:16:20.000 Yes, it does.

00:16:21.000 Alright, let's...

00:16:23.000 You don't look around a little bit, you might miss it.

00:16:25.000 You might miss it.

00:16:27.000 laughter The Great Dick Toth

00:16:32.000 The Great Dictator Dikov, everybody. 0.96

00:16:34.000 So let's go through the next brackets, Mein Führer.

00:16:36.000 We're going to put up on the board, Joseph Stalin is going to be going up against Augusto Pinochet of Chile.

00:16:44.000 And then underneath that, we will have your old buddy, Benito Mussolini and Saddam Hussein. 0.89

00:16:48.000 I knew Saddam when he was just a baby!

00:16:57.000 Oh, you meant Stalin.

00:16:59.000 Joseph Stalin?

00:16:59.000 No, he was your old rival.

00:17:01.000 Augusto Pinochet, Benito Mussolini, and Saddam Hussein.

00:17:04.000 Let's go to Stalin here, actually. 0.77

00:17:06.000 And this is one that, this was the inspiration for this entire charade that you see.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, you can keep the song a little lower.

00:17:15.000 I know that we have to respect the poppin' circumstance, but... Might get a copyright strike.

00:17:19.000 Yeah, we might get a copyright strike.

00:17:20.000 I think Warner Brothers is big on that.

00:17:26.000 I'm going to get rid of the pages I'm not using anymore because I don't want this around.

00:17:31.000 Stalin!

00:17:31.000 A lot of people, we asked young, they were not familiar with Stalin at all.

00:17:35.000 And of course that's interesting because Stalin, Hitler, same period of time.

00:17:39.000 Stalin certainly killed more people. 0.68

00:17:42.000 But if you spend all this time learning about Adolf Hitler in school, you would think that you would learn just as much about Stalin. 0.51

00:17:46.000 Please comment below how much you know about Joseph Stalin, how much you know about what had taken place in Russia back then, and I mean there's a lot of interesting if you want to get into.

00:17:55.000 Oh yeah, we can get rid of the Ayatollah Khomeini and Mao, because yes, we'll be finishing up that bracket. 0.99

00:18:00.000 And you can place your bets right now at draftdictators.com.

00:18:04.000 Stalin, of course, you can go back to, um, what was happening there with, uh, with Lenin and with Trotsky and kind of this, this jockeying for power and Stalin was seen as more of a doer, less of an intellectual.

00:18:13.000 They didn't respect him as much, but of course. 1.00

00:18:15.000 Stupid. 0.99

00:18:16.000 Often when you have men of, of just what they would consider power, um, they'll step over the pseudo intellectuals, but this really, you're just one or two degrees removed from the founder of the feast, Karl Marx. 0.99

00:18:26.000 The two revolutionaries fought the Tsarist regime under pseudonyms.

00:18:31.000 Joseph Vissarinovich Dugasvili called himself Stalin, the Man of Steel.

00:18:37.000 He had it all figured out.

00:18:40.000 And Lev Davidovich Bronstein hid under the name of Leon Trotsky.

00:18:44.000 It's interesting.

00:18:44.000 Kind of the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

00:18:46.000 That's what we saw in World War II.

00:18:47.000 And, of course, that led us into the Cold War.

00:18:49.000 And, you know, we never really soothed relations with Russia.

00:18:53.000 Where is Karl Marx from?

00:18:56.000 Karl Marx?

00:18:57.000 Well, Karl Marx is German, but he had a major influence, of course, in Russia.

00:19:02.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:19:03.000 Yeah, well, okay, I guess you have your fingerprints on everything.

00:19:08.000 Like Dominic Strauss-Kahn.

00:19:10.000 He filled up interns, Dominic Strauss-Kahn.

00:19:12.000 That was a deep cut.

00:19:14.000 Stalin on his page.

00:19:14.000 Let me go to Stalin.

00:19:15.000 What are we talking here?

00:19:17.000 What?

00:19:18.000 Page 12.

00:19:19.000 I hear it says number 5.

00:19:19.000 Page 12?

00:19:20.000 He's a 5-seed.

00:19:22.000 Oh, he's a 5-seed. 0.80

00:19:23.000 I don't know how he fell to a 5-seed.

00:19:24.000 That seems like the selection committee was a little bit biased there.

00:19:27.000 Maybe there was a few Kazakhs in the selection committee that have a lot of a grudge towards him.

00:19:31.000 People from the Caucasus Mountains?

00:19:33.000 I don't know why we have them stick their oar in. 0.89

00:19:36.000 They're always trying to.

00:19:37.000 Caucasus.

00:19:38.000 Putin would say the same thing.

00:19:39.000 That's true.

00:19:40.000 Joseph Stalin was born Loseb Dzhugashvili.

00:19:45.000 Dzhugashvili.

00:19:45.000 How do I say that?

00:19:47.000 It's so disturbing that you have that at the ready, Sam from HR.

00:19:50.000 I did a report on Stalin when I was in the fifth grade.

00:19:53.000 Yes, I did.

00:19:53.000 Really?

00:19:54.000 I bet you made a lot of friends.

00:19:56.000 Don't believe him.

00:19:57.000 Yeah, no, I don't, I don't trust him.

00:19:59.000 Wait, no, not for the reasons you don't.

00:20:01.000 So he was, uh, surprising to me, only 143 pounds, Joseph Stalin.

00:20:01.000 Oh.

00:20:07.000 And, uh, Joseph Stalin, the body count is what's most significant.

00:20:10.000 It's 20 million people minimum, Joseph Stalin, which is just, again, that's Let's just rate it. 0.71

00:20:16.000 That's two Hitlers.

00:20:17.000 That's a full two Hitlers, at least.

00:20:19.000 At minimum two Hitlers.

00:20:21.000 And it is estimated that it could be as high as 30 or 40 million, depending on which kind of scholarly articles you would reference.

00:20:28.000 But at least 20 million.

00:20:29.000 And of course, this was largely due to, again, the ineptitude of communism, the ineptitude of a top-down approach, and people not really being capable of keeping up with the supply, the demand, farming not working.

00:20:39.000 This is the utopia that you end up seeing.

00:20:42.000 And Mao, Stalin, very similar. 0.53

00:20:44.000 We'll get to Pol Pot. 0.99

00:20:45.000 These are people who all followed, really to the letter, the same ideology.

00:20:48.000 They had different implementations.

00:20:50.000 Whereas Hitler, kind of, would it be fair to say Hitler was a one-off?

00:20:54.000 As far as, it wasn't like you had a bunch, I mean, you had Mussolini, of course, but he was just kind of a joke.

00:20:59.000 Yeah, he was kind of a wannabe.

00:21:00.000 They sort of used him as a patsy for the higher-ups.

00:21:03.000 But it's not the same as an idea that really was encroaching across the entire globe.

00:21:07.000 This was somewhat contained.

00:21:09.000 You look at these things that have taken place, China, Russia, and a lot of it was happening simultaneously.

00:21:14.000 Sometimes they sort of passed the baton.

00:21:16.000 It's the percentage of the population of Russia.

00:21:18.000 Up to 30% of the population of Russia.

00:21:22.000 So that, that's compared to Hitler's six. 0.76

00:21:24.000 You're looking at, if we do the math, that's at least four.

00:21:27.000 We're talking about four Hitlers?

00:21:29.000 We're gonna round it?

00:21:30.000 Four Hitlers.

00:21:31.000 Four Hitlers, Joseph Stalin. 0.69

00:21:33.000 He also helped create the secret police force and his true birth date and leaving for the seminary, leaving the seminary unknown.

00:21:42.000 So he's a mystery.

00:21:43.000 Bit of an enigma. 1.00

00:21:45.000 But he sure kicked your ass. 0.99

00:21:46.000 Hey, that is not kind because he had a lot to help. 1.00

00:21:49.000 Yeah, well, I don't... I didn't understand what you just said.

00:21:53.000 You know what? English is new to me.

00:21:57.000 Such a little guy too.

00:22:01.000 I know, I know.

00:22:02.000 And this is an interesting through line that you see.

00:22:05.000 He purged the country of, so you see obviously what happened, Hitler bad. 0.95

00:22:08.000 Hitler's terrible, just to be clear. 0.96

00:22:09.000 Hitler's really bad. 0.98

00:22:10.000 And now, he, look.

00:22:13.000 Very bad.

00:22:14.000 I'll give you, yeah.

00:22:15.000 I mean, you know, in your mind, you're so bad, you're good. 0.88

00:22:17.000 To the rest of us, you're just bad.

00:22:18.000 But you'll see this as a through line.

00:22:20.000 They would purge their country. 0.99

00:22:22.000 For example, Stalin. 0.62

00:22:23.000 Not, for example, just Jews. 0.96

00:22:24.000 It wasn't just ethnic cleansing.

00:22:26.000 This is where we've talked about this today, where you see identity politics, right?

00:22:29.000 It's not just through the lens of race, but you'll see it as oppressors and the oppressed.

00:22:33.000 With communism it was really about the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, the ruling class, and at that point it was anyone who was, if you're American, upper middle class, you would be seen as ruling class in Russia because everyone else is in a bread line.

00:22:45.000 So he purged the country of, and I have the list here, not only former landowners, but doctors, academics, and military officials. 0.69

00:22:51.000 That's how that death count balloons out of control.

00:22:54.000 You create famine, you basically end up creating the perfect petri dish where people can contract these diseases, and you've gotten rid of doctors.

00:23:01.000 You've gotten rid of medical professionals.

00:23:03.000 Oh wait, you have famine?

00:23:05.000 Well who do you think a lot of the former landowners were?

00:23:06.000 A lot of them were farmers.

00:23:08.000 When the government steps in and says we're taking your farm, That can be applied to anything.

00:23:12.000 It could be the government stepping in saying, we're taking your banks, we're taking your manufacturing, we're taking your internet.

00:23:19.000 You know, you declare something to be a fundamental human right, for example, like access to everyone else's land, guess what?

00:23:24.000 It's now only the government's right.

00:23:26.000 And you see that with Stalin and Mao.

00:23:29.000 Very similar.

00:23:29.000 That was one thing when we were going through the research.

00:23:31.000 Very similar, not only in the death, kind of the body count, but what they did and how they approached it.

00:23:35.000 Yeah, like you said, it's the original DEI, the original identity politics.

00:23:40.000 The identity slightly changed to where we are now, but it's the exact same methodology, it's the exact same ideology that's pervading.

00:23:48.000 That always ends up the same with Mao and Stalin, with millions of people dying.

00:23:51.000 Right, yeah.

00:23:53.000 Now, we have another one to go with Stalin, and this is one that you may hear more often, because the left likes to parrot this, because it's kind of one fascist who they point to, who actually was right-wing.

00:24:01.000 I'll give you that.

00:24:02.000 And that's Augusto Pinochet.

00:24:04.000 I want to be very, very clear, just as clearly as I have said Hitler bad. 0.90

00:24:10.000 Pinochet, bad.

00:24:12.000 In most ways.

00:24:15.000 Right?

00:24:15.000 But can we all agree that he wasn't all wrong?

00:24:18.000 Pinochet! 0.52

00:24:19.000 Who was he killed again?

00:24:20.000 Margaret Thatcher loved him.

00:24:21.000 Can I, can I get a, can I get a little, can I get a little what?

00:24:24.000 Little bit for Pinochet?

00:24:25.000 Now, let me clarify here.

00:24:27.000 Uh, Pinochet, he was, uh, really his education was the Chilean Military Academy.

00:24:32.000 And, uh, I'm sorry, I just forgot.

00:24:34.000 Who was the name of the man who he, uh, he preceded?

00:24:37.000 Allende?

00:24:38.000 Allende.

00:24:39.000 Yeah.

00:24:39.000 Allende.

00:24:40.000 Was it like, it was, uh, Giorg- I forgot the middle name.

00:24:42.000 It's like something Giorgiondo, Fernando.

00:24:45.000 Salvador Allende.

00:24:47.000 Salvador, but he had a middle name.

00:24:48.000 He had a middle name.

00:24:49.000 There was a Salvador something or was it Salvador Orlando Allende?

00:24:54.000 He was a communist, just to be clear.

00:24:56.000 Now, this is pretty interesting.

00:24:58.000 Guillermo?

00:24:59.000 Salvador Guillermo.

00:25:01.000 His name is my name too.

00:25:03.000 Also, I, too, at one point was thrown from a helicopter, but I lived because I'm a deity.

00:25:07.000 That's another through line you'll see today.

00:25:10.000 Chile was really one of those countries that was very, very poor.

00:25:14.000 And if you look today, if you go to Chile, you'll still have a lot of people who actually say, you know what, we kind of would like a Pinochet-like figure today.

00:25:21.000 And the reason for that is this was a country that was basically under the rule of socialism, communism.

00:25:25.000 Pinochet did come in, take advantage of a coup, and he did kill people.

00:25:30.000 But he wasn't, on a large scale, targeting citizens.

00:25:33.000 He was targeting communists.

00:25:36.000 He was targeting people who he believed had actually destroyed the economy.

00:25:38.000 Now, of course, did he embezzle millions of dollars?

00:25:40.000 Yes.

00:25:41.000 At that point, you know, you're gonna get yours.

00:25:41.000 Because, you know what?

00:25:44.000 So he got some of his embezzled $28 million.

00:25:46.000 Again, not good.

00:25:47.000 I just don't know that we can compare him necessarily to Stalin.

00:25:50.000 The body count is really only 3,000 people.

00:25:51.000 people.

00:25:52.000 3,000 people.

00:25:53.000 3,000 people.

00:25:54.000 Who wants to say, M-O-B, money over bodies. 1.00

00:26:04.000 Well, he did get some money, but a lot of these people were former Communist Party heads.

00:26:09.000 They would go on a helicopter ride and just never come back.

00:26:11.000 Labor unions.

00:26:12.000 Yes, labor unions.

00:26:13.000 And then 130,000 people were arrested.

00:26:16.000 They were put in jail without due process.

00:26:18.000 Allegedly, 35,000 people were tortured.

00:26:22.000 But as far as percentage of his population with Pinochet, 0.2%.

00:26:24.000 That doesn't even show up on our Hitler radar.

00:26:29.000 Never heard of the guy.

00:26:32.000 And something else for a dictator.

00:26:35.000 What was that?

00:26:36.000 I heard someone stomping.

00:26:37.000 I said he should be ashamed.

00:26:38.000 Oh, okay.

00:26:41.000 Such looser numbers.

00:26:42.000 Well, here's another thing too with a dictator. 0.80

00:26:44.000 I don't think we have anyone else here who stepped down from power.

00:26:49.000 In our brackets.

00:26:50.000 In the 1990s, he stepped down, but he was a senator for life from 1998 to 2002.

00:26:56.000 So this is kind of what ended up happening.

00:26:59.000 He, Allende, tried to transition this Chilean economy to a Marxist-Leninist one.

00:27:06.000 And people were starting to reject it, and people were becoming impoverished.

00:27:09.000 People were definitely starving, and Pinochet came in and said, we're not going to do that anymore.

00:27:12.000 Corruption?

00:27:13.000 Yes.

00:27:14.000 Yes.

00:27:14.000 Fascist?

00:27:15.000 Yes.

00:27:16.000 But if you look during that period of time they were calling it the Chilean experiment because it was now becoming one of the most successful, one of the wealthiest countries in all of South America.

00:27:24.000 And that largely happened as far as citizens, business owners, not everyone.

00:27:28.000 He did help pick winners and losers and of course that's wrong and corrupt but it certainly was more of a free market economy than before and he was targeting people who he viewed and sometimes selected in a corrupt way those who would be interfering with the private exchange of

00:27:43.000 goods and services.

00:27:44.000 So I fascist yeah I don't really know that it's fair to put him in dictator

00:27:49.000 here. So it's kind of like the Jamie Kennedy experiment?

00:27:55.000 Sure that's a day That's a dated reference, but it's in between your dates and today, so I don't know how you... Did you get MTV in the bunker?

00:28:03.000 Did you?

00:28:06.000 I'm trying to see what else we have.

00:28:07.000 Oh yeah, the reforms, by the way, from Pinochet.

00:28:09.000 They did cut hyperinflation, which was near 400% in the early 70s, to single digits by the 1980s.

00:28:15.000 So, I'm not a fan.

00:28:17.000 Not a fan.

00:28:18.000 Their GDP increased 5% annually for a while.

00:28:20.000 But I think if you're comparing Pinochet and Stalin, I just, I think there's no comparison.

00:28:27.000 One doesn't even show up with the Hitler meter.

00:28:29.000 So, um, let's move on.

00:28:31.000 Joseph Stalin.

00:28:32.000 Pinochet is knocked out.

00:28:34.000 You do see a lot of, uh, similarities in Pinochet's approach to Javier Mille's now, but you kind of get the good without the, you know, the helicopter rides.

00:28:43.000 Yes, I mean there could be some, we don't know.

00:28:44.000 But the economic liberalization and making the government smaller, it's very similar in the way they're approaching similar economic situations with hyperinflation and unemployment and all that.

00:28:53.000 Yes, and I do think that Chile is very, it's interesting to compare, we actually probably should have put them in the same bracket, but to Hugo Chavez.

00:29:00.000 Or Chavez, you have a place like Venezuela that has all kinds of economic advantages.

00:29:03.000 I mean, oil-rich nation, and drives it into poverty.

00:29:06.000 As opposed to Chile, where it was in poverty, and for whatever, mostly bad, Pinochet did bring it out of the dark ages, economically.

00:29:15.000 And so that's where you have people today say, you know what, not all of it was bad.

00:29:19.000 If you go to Chile.

00:29:19.000 They might have to mutter it, quietly, but you have to, in a lot of South American countries, your choice is communist guerrillas, or fascists sometimes.

00:29:26.000 Unfortunately.

00:29:27.000 It's not good, but that's the reality.

00:29:29.000 And Pinochet, we had... Oh, Benito Mussolini!

00:29:32.000 That's your old buddy.

00:29:33.000 Benito... You have page 17 for Mussolini.

00:29:37.000 Hey, the Italians are in the house! 1.00

00:29:39.000 Pfft! 0.63

00:29:40.000 Yeah?

00:29:43.000 Hahaha!

00:29:44.000 Remember when you didn't want to be on my team?

00:29:46.000 I brought him over.

00:29:52.000 We did a trade.

00:29:56.000 So, Benito Mussolini, 5'6", 154 pounds.

00:30:01.000 His dad was a blacksmith.

00:30:03.000 His mother was a school teacher.

00:30:04.000 He attended the University of Lausanne in Switzerland.

00:30:07.000 Am I saying that right, Sam from HR?

00:30:09.000 I believe so.

00:30:10.000 Yeah, good.

00:30:11.000 Thanks for the input.

00:30:11.000 Thank you.

00:30:15.000 See what I was talking about?

00:30:17.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:30:19.000 In return, punch me.

00:30:21.000 It is you, fun fact with Mussolini. 0.81

00:30:23.000 Fun fact with Mussolini. 0.95

00:30:25.000 Stabbed a pupil with a knife and attacked a teacher at a boarding school. 0.88

00:30:30.000 And he's 5'6", he's basically a human Chucky doll.

00:30:33.000 Showed promise early.

00:30:34.000 He did, he showed promise early.

00:30:36.000 I've told you this, look, crazy beats big most times.

00:30:40.000 And so Mussolini had that going for him.

00:30:42.000 Uh, the Italian fascist party, it was his party, he, and this is something that's pretty interesting, right?

00:30:47.000 People say, fascist, what did he impose in Italy?

00:30:49.000 Socialism.

00:30:51.000 Socialism in Italy.

00:30:52.000 They try and separate, if you actually run a Google search, I don't know what the definition is right now, they'll say socialism, communism, they won't tell you that it's necessarily left-wing.

00:30:59.000 Once upon a time, at least on Google, and I believe they even changed it with Miriam Webster, fascism was inherently right-wing.

00:31:05.000 Well, hold on a second, we've just gone through a bunch of dictators and fascists, and we'll continue to go through them.

00:31:09.000 Most of them are communists or socialists.

00:31:11.000 I think the only exception, as far as truly being right-wing as we would know, would probably be Pinochet, right?

00:31:17.000 Compared to, I mean, I know if we're talking about EDM in, but let's be honest, the guy didn't make it past the fourth grade.

00:31:23.000 These are decidedly leftist policies.

00:31:25.000 These are decidedly leftist policies, which cannot be enacted if not for fascism.

00:31:30.000 Body count from Mussolini.

00:31:33.000 What we have here is about 2,000 political opponents killed, 25,000 killed or maimed in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, and of course you have the soldiers killed during World War II, so the percentage of the population is 2%.

00:31:48.000 So again, we're talking about, that's, I mean, that's less than a third of a Hitler.

00:31:53.000 0.3 Hitler, yeah.

00:31:54.000 Yeah.

00:31:55.000 He was like a little Hitler. 0.93

00:31:56.000 Pretty good math.

00:31:56.000 A little one.

00:31:57.000 He was, yeah, it's a very small, it wouldn't even show up on our Hitler scale. 0.85

00:32:01.000 Yes, he was sort of a sad character, Mussolini, right?

00:32:04.000 During World War II, they kind of would go, yeah, we need someone out there, Mussolini.

00:32:07.000 And then they just threw him under the bus as soon as they had to.

00:32:10.000 He wasn't very respected.

00:32:12.000 Kind of wrong place, wrong time.

00:32:14.000 Threw him right under the Panzer.

00:32:15.000 Yes, we did.

00:32:17.000 Overrated!

00:32:17.000 You did.

00:32:23.000 And after he was shot with his mistress, who was Claretta Patesci, they were strung up by their feet on April 28th, 1945 in a square in Milan, and then they were disfigured by an angry mob.

00:32:34.000 Nice.

00:32:35.000 You know, they got theirs finally.

00:32:35.000 Yeah.

00:32:38.000 I guess someone finally heard the people.

00:32:40.000 So Mussolini against, oh, this is a good one, Saddam Hussein. 1.00

00:32:44.000 And this is interesting because Saddam Hussein It depends on the Saddam to whom you're referring.

00:32:48.000 It depends on a different era in history.

00:32:50.000 At one point was seen as sort of an ally to the United States, and then of course became, I don't want to say ally, one point was useful.

00:32:56.000 And this is important too, as we go throughout history, you'll see the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

00:33:00.000 And people will try and use that to paint the United States as the only corrupt nation.

00:33:04.000 But if you look at all these dictators, they too had alliances that really were completely inconsistent if you add it up over time.

00:33:11.000 So Saddam Hussein, 6'2", 190, that's a good size for a dictator. 0.94

00:33:15.000 Yeah.

00:33:16.000 You get the best food, so we would expect to be a little bigger than the population.

00:33:19.000 That's a cruiserweight.

00:33:20.000 You know, when they found him in his little hole, in his hole in the ground, he had Marvel comic books, and he had Raisin Bran Crunch.

00:33:28.000 Not Raisin Bran.

00:33:30.000 Raisin Bran Crunch.

00:33:31.000 Which, by the way, is far better than Raisin Bran.

00:33:33.000 It's an entirely different cereal.

00:33:34.000 Who do you think he was, his favorite superhero?

00:33:37.000 I think he actually liked Captain America.

00:33:39.000 Yes, he did.

00:33:39.000 No!

00:33:40.000 No!

00:33:40.000 He did.

00:33:41.000 He liked the Avengers.

00:33:42.000 I would have guessed Black Panther. 0.98

00:33:44.000 No, I think he was also probably racist.

00:33:48.000 So, of course, the death of hundreds of thousands of people, Saddam Hussein.

00:33:55.000 He was a law school dropout, I should tell you.

00:33:57.000 So there's really no rhyme or reason if you're looking for a through line with education.

00:34:00.000 Some only made it to the fourth grade, some were educated in Switzerland, and some just kind of went to law school, you know, like law schools, like a phase, you know, like art for you, or torn Levi's for some.

00:34:11.000 Yeah, that was a lifelong passion, but Yeah, yeah, but not schooling necessarily.

00:34:17.000 So he was involved in obviously both Gulf Wars, the Iran-Iraq War, and tortured and killed hundreds of thousands of his own citizens. 0.52

00:34:24.000 As far as the body count with Saddam Hussein, believed to be about 750,000.

00:34:28.000 Again, this is tough because a lot of different sources have different accounts.

00:34:32.000 That's 3.9% of the population.

00:34:37.000 So that's about half a Hitler. 0.63

00:34:38.000 It's about half a Hitler. 0.80

00:34:39.000 Yeah.

00:34:40.000 It's about half a Hitler. 0.80

00:34:41.000 Und he had a specific enemy, the Kurds.

00:34:43.000 Yeah, we did have an enemy, the Kurds. 0.79

00:34:45.000 Yes, that's true.

00:34:45.000 And they, uh, by the way, a lot of people don't realize this.

00:34:48.000 A lot of people in the Middle East, of course, the Arabic world, big, big, big allies to the Nazis because they too didn't like the Judens.

00:34:55.000 No, no, they don't like them.

00:34:58.000 No.

00:34:59.000 Did you hear that?

00:35:02.000 Never mind.

00:35:02.000 They killed one.

00:35:03.000 What?

00:35:03.000 Who?

00:35:04.000 Okay, sorry.

00:35:04.000 Never mind.

00:35:09.000 Secret Hitler business. 0.85

00:35:10.000 Okay, secret Hitler business, yeah. 0.89

00:35:13.000 I guess you had to be there.

00:35:14.000 Yeah, I guess.

00:35:15.000 Well, you probably took that with you to Argentina.

00:35:16.000 Until Tim Kennedy found you.

00:35:20.000 Allegedly.

00:35:21.000 Saddam was a distant, fun fact, trivia here, very distantly related to Muhammad by his lineage.

00:35:29.000 What?

00:35:30.000 Draw him.

00:35:31.000 Draw.

00:35:31.000 Wrong?

00:35:32.000 What do you mean?

00:35:33.000 Mohammed. 0.68

00:35:34.000 Oh, draw?

00:35:35.000 Don't do it.

00:35:36.000 No, I'm not.

00:35:36.000 Oh, I thought you said it was a draw, like it was a draw, like as far as worse, just because it related to Mohammed.

00:35:39.000 I just know your prevalence to want to draw the prophet.

00:35:41.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:35:42.000 No, I haven't.

00:35:43.000 I've never drawn the prophet.

00:35:44.000 I'm just trying to.

00:35:45.000 Bob Ross did, and we've never, we've not had him on the show again.

00:35:47.000 Good point. 0.99

00:35:48.000 Yeah, we've never had him on the show again, one time, one more time, but it wasn't, I told him, you dick, hey, I don't give a shit about your estate. 0.99

00:35:54.000 I said, you take that on down the road, Mr. Ross. 0.96

00:35:58.000 Well, if at all possible, please avoid drawing the Prophet Muhammad or other religious figures or deities.

00:36:03.000 No, I absolutely will not.

00:36:04.000 If at all possible.

00:36:05.000 I get it.

00:36:06.000 I understand.

00:36:07.000 So, he was related to Muhammad via the lineage of the Albu Nasir tribe.

00:36:12.000 And, of course, that was, I guess the founder of Saddam's tribe was the son of Muhammad's daughter, Fatima.

00:36:19.000 Alright, there you go.

00:36:20.000 And I think I may have, I don't know who I drew here, but you guys can just make a little inference.

00:36:26.000 It's just a stick figure with, you know, he's got thick hair.

00:36:31.000 So, Saddam Hussein and Benito Mussolini.

00:36:35.000 I've got to say, And of course we have DraftDictator.com.

00:36:40.000 I would say that Saddam should maybe move through just because of a much longer reign. 0.96

00:36:46.000 Yeah, longevity has to be taken into account.

00:36:48.000 It has to be taken into account, right?

00:36:50.000 It does account for something.

00:36:52.000 I would say, you guys disagree?

00:36:55.000 You know what?

00:36:56.000 We can forgive the numbers a little.

00:36:58.000 I mean, they don't keep records like the Germans, so it could be a little bit more.

00:37:02.000 Compared to who's more consequential, I would say Saddam Hussein left a bigger mark than Mussolini. 0.56

00:37:07.000 Well, feet first is a reason because of him, I think.

00:37:09.000 Yes, yes, that's right.

00:37:10.000 I don't have a degree.

00:37:12.000 No.

00:37:12.000 With Saddam?

00:37:14.000 What?

00:37:15.000 Mussolini.

00:37:16.000 What's the knife incident?

00:37:16.000 He's Italian.

00:37:17.000 Of course you're Italian.

00:37:18.000 What is it, Nick?

00:37:21.000 Yeah, we talked about that.

00:37:23.000 We said he showed promise.

00:37:26.000 Yeah.

00:37:29.000 No, it does weigh for something, but I don't think that has the same global impact as Saddam's, you know, three wars.

00:37:33.000 I mean, he tried to stab his teacher with a butter knife. 0.99

00:37:36.000 It's shitty. 0.99

00:37:37.000 Well, it wasn't. 0.96

00:37:38.000 I'm exaggerating.

00:37:40.000 Could have been the edge of a ruler.

00:37:42.000 You ever do that when you were a kid?

00:37:43.000 Take out the metal edge of your ruler?

00:37:45.000 Or a protractor.

00:37:47.000 No, protractor.

00:37:48.000 Yeah, protractor.

00:37:48.000 That was giving kids weapons.

00:37:49.000 This is a tough one.

00:37:52.000 Mussolini and Saddam. 0.83

00:37:54.000 I'm going to say Saddam should probably move on just because of how long his sort of reign went on. 1.00

00:38:00.000 And he was propped up by other people who saw him as a useful idiot. 1.00

00:38:02.000 Two kind of useful idiots, actually. 1.00

00:38:07.000 Yes, yes, they had a mural. 1.00

00:38:09.000 So I will say, I think Saddam, anyone? 0.96

00:38:12.000 Yeah, no one starved to death in Italy, let's be real.

00:38:12.000 You think Mussolini?

00:38:14.000 Well, you're Greek, so I would have thought you'd want to... Also, I helped!

00:38:17.000 Well, that's the thing, he was riding Hitler's coattails, Mussolini. 0.75

00:38:22.000 Yeah, he was riding the coattails, Mussolini.

00:38:24.000 You guys can comment below on who you think should be making it in.

00:38:28.000 Who, Mussolini?

00:38:30.000 No, no, I understand.

00:38:31.000 I'm a cool guy.

00:38:32.000 I understand.

00:38:33.000 That's a bad law.

00:38:34.000 That's a bad law.

00:38:35.000 That's a big law, let's be real.

00:38:36.000 Come on, it's tough to do.

00:38:37.000 So, you know what?

00:38:38.000 We're going to move Saddam Hussein on to the Final Eight. 0.98

00:38:44.000 The bracket's really shaping up.

00:38:45.000 The bracket's really shaping up.

00:38:47.000 So the next... No, no, no.

00:38:48.000 You're not... Your job's not done, Chancellor.

00:38:49.000 Yeah!

00:38:50.000 The next two brackets are Nikolai Ko... Kochescu?

00:38:54.000 Shochescu.

00:38:55.000 And Pol Pot. 0.83

00:38:56.000 Uh-oh.

00:38:57.000 Who, by the way, I think Pol Pot may win this entire thing. 0.99

00:39:00.000 I'm not going to lie to you.

00:39:01.000 A lot of people... How much do you know about Pol Pot?

00:39:04.000 And this is a good time to comment.

00:39:05.000 How much do you know about these dictators and their history and their reigns?

00:39:08.000 A lot of people don't know about anyone other than this guy right here.

00:39:11.000 This guy is handsome.

00:39:12.000 I got an update on DraftDictators.com.

00:39:14.000 Paul Pott entered at a 10-1.

00:39:16.000 He entered a 10-1.

00:39:19.000 And I don't know word on Papa Doc right now, but you can go and check the betting line.

00:39:23.000 Papa Doc obviously is the dark horse in all of this.

00:39:25.000 That's a guy from 8 Mile, yeah?

00:39:26.000 Literally.

00:39:30.000 Yes, yes he is.

00:39:31.000 And then the other bracket is going to be Mobutu and Fidel Castro.

00:39:36.000 Mobutu!

00:39:40.000 I was more of a fan of Mabu 3.

00:39:44.000 And who else?

00:39:46.000 Fidel Castro.

00:39:47.000 God.

00:39:48.000 That is a good beard.

00:39:49.000 Okay.

00:39:49.000 Yes.

00:39:50.000 Not my style.

00:39:50.000 Good.

00:39:51.000 So this is the one I'm probably least familiar with.

00:39:54.000 It took me... I had to spend some time with this.

00:39:56.000 And I can never... Ceausescu?

00:39:58.000 How am I saying it Sam from HR?

00:39:58.000 Ceausescu?

00:40:00.000 Ceausescu.

00:40:01.000 Ceausescu.

00:40:02.000 Alright.

00:40:02.000 And you guys are probably more familiar with him.

00:40:05.000 Who's the big Nikolai fan here?

00:40:07.000 HR Sam.

00:40:09.000 The only Nikolai I like is Cage.

00:40:13.000 He is a national treasure.

00:40:14.000 So Sam from HR, what is it that you admire about Nikolai?

00:40:21.000 Well, I have an unrequited dream that I would have a cult of personality with me, being that people see me as unremarkable.

00:40:29.000 Nicolae Ceausescu, when he was the dictator of Romania, plastered his face and his image on everything.

00:40:36.000 He also tried to enrich himself a lot, though, so he exported a lot of agricultural products from Romania to other countries, which unfortunately killed thousands of his own people.

00:40:48.000 Yes, it did.

00:40:48.000 It was an unfortunate result.

00:40:50.000 Wait, I'm sorry, did you just say that you view yourself as, like, a kindred spirit with him because you said you're unrem... Because, like, Nicolae was really good-looking.

00:40:59.000 Um, I don't, I think I look a little better than, uh, Trichescu, you know?

00:41:02.000 My, uh, my hair is still, uh, brown, and, um, I don't know, kind of, I can cut a dashing figure.

00:41:08.000 Okay.

00:41:09.000 It's looking a little grey.

00:41:10.000 Okay.

00:41:10.000 Um, and that.

00:41:11.000 Alright!

00:41:12.000 No!

00:41:13.000 But also, one fact about Nikolai.

00:41:15.000 Yes, Nick DiPaolo's in the corner.

00:41:16.000 He invented the t-shirt game.

00:41:19.000 He invented the t-shirt game?

00:41:25.000 This guy's funny!

00:41:27.000 laughter laughter

00:41:31.000 laughter laughter

00:41:35.000 Well Mobutu invented the giant foam hand!

00:41:37.000 laughter We are number two!

00:41:40.000 That's what they said.

00:41:42.000 laughter I don't know if I'm so glad that we went with this bit, or

00:41:50.000 if it's one of my life's deepest regrets.

00:41:53.000 Only time will tell.

00:41:54.000 Tim, is this guy's a wireless remote?

00:41:57.000 What?

00:41:58.000 Is it a wireless microphone?

00:41:59.000 Oh, yes.

00:42:00.000 By the way, Toolman, Timmy, Cecilian, he has a sickle cell gene we found out.

00:42:04.000 It's true.

00:42:05.000 Thank God you dodged that bullet, though, because I would have been passed down and you're good.

00:42:07.000 You're safe.

00:42:08.000 Yeah.

00:42:09.000 Sorry.

00:42:09.000 All right.

00:42:10.000 Back to Nikolai, however you pronounce, of Romania.

00:42:13.000 The body count from Nikolai is 60,000, right?

00:42:16.000 60,000 people, Sam, from HR?

00:42:19.000 Yes, that's how many he's believed to have killed.

00:42:22.000 Although, as you know, the communists aren't good record keepers.

00:42:25.000 Right.

00:42:26.000 And also, of course, this ties into the eco-movement.

00:42:26.000 Well, that's true.

00:42:29.000 This is why you may not necessarily know about a lot of these people.

00:42:31.000 Had some policies on population growth.

00:42:34.000 Well, in this case, did he want them to breed more?

00:42:36.000 Yes, he believed that they had an obsession with more Romanians and children are the future of the country.

00:42:43.000 However, it got out of control.

00:42:45.000 You had, of course, with famine and other things going on, led to a lot of, unfortunately, a lot of orphans in Romania.

00:42:51.000 And after Ceaușescu was deposed in the late 80s, the population actually went down because people were trying to get the hell out of Romania.

00:43:00.000 Well, that makes sense, because I think he was the only person who said the world needs more Romanians.

00:43:07.000 Isn't Andrew Tate in Romania?

00:43:09.000 He's in Romania now, yeah.

00:43:10.000 But apparently they have good delivery.

00:43:13.000 They have probably some more orphans.

00:43:15.000 And of course that's a little bit of a backlash, too.

00:43:18.000 If you look at a lot of communist nations, they believe in curbing population quite a bit, which we'll get to.

00:43:24.000 The communist regimes, of course, as you see in China, which led to the one-child policy.

00:43:28.000 So then you have smaller countries like Romania where they say, you know what, we'll what we want to have more Romanians and just the unforeseen 1.00

00:43:32.000 consequences.

00:43:33.000 Whether it's famine because you get rid of all the farmers or whether it's just

00:43:36.000 hey all you people better start get to fornicating next thing you know it's not 1.00

00:43:40.000 sustainable. I love that show curb your population. Yeah well communists are

00:43:47.000 climate change heroes.

00:43:49.000 Yes, communists are climate change heroes because they get rid of, I mean, a lot of carbon.

00:43:52.000 That's one less carbon isotope, if I'm using that correctly.

00:43:56.000 Yes.

00:43:56.000 And he built the massive People's Palace as his residence in Bucharest.

00:44:00.000 The building is 276 feet tall.

00:44:03.000 It has 3.9 million squares of floor space.

00:44:07.000 Wow.

00:44:08.000 Square feet of floor space.

00:44:10.000 I said squares, but square feet of floor space.

00:44:14.000 In Romania.

00:44:15.000 That's like a third of the country.

00:44:18.000 So we have him and of course we have Fidel.

00:44:22.000 Fidel Ca- no wait, sorry.

00:44:23.000 Yeah, now we have Mobutu and C.C.

00:44:25.000 Okay, we have to get to Mobutu, sorry.

00:44:25.000 Seiko.

00:44:26.000 Where's Mobutu?

00:44:27.000 Which page is it?

00:44:28.000 Well, we got Pol Pot right now. 0.81

00:44:30.000 Oh, I didn't do Pol Pot, I'm sorry.

00:44:32.000 I've been looking to Pol Pot for a while. 0.97

00:44:32.000 You've been looking forward to that. 0.97

00:44:34.000 How much do you know about- and by the way, I don't like Pol Pot, just like Hitler bad. 0.88

00:44:37.000 Just to be clear, Hitler is bad and Pol Pot is bad. 0.68

00:44:39.000 We say looking forward because I think so many people don't- have you heard the term, the killing fields? 0.97

00:44:43.000 That's Pol- that's Pol Pot. 0.92

00:44:46.000 He was the worst of the worst, and we'll get to... I don't know if it was the highest as far as percentage of population.

00:44:52.000 Yeah.

00:44:53.000 It is definitively the highest, was Pol Pot, so obviously... And something else too, before Pol Pot, there were areas of Cambodia that had resorts where people like Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, would go down. 0.51

00:45:02.000 It was sort of seen as the crown jewel of Asia in a lot of ways, Cambodia.

00:45:07.000 Love those guys.

00:45:07.000 What was that?

00:45:08.000 Love those guys.

00:45:09.000 Well, you know what?

00:45:09.000 Yeah.

00:45:10.000 You're not going to like how this turns out.

00:45:12.000 Pol Pot, Cambodia.

00:45:14.000 They list him as 5'9", but let's be honest, that's like professional wrestling stats.

00:45:18.000 That's inflated.

00:45:21.000 His father, ironically, was a farmer, and his mother, we don't really know a whole lot about his mother, had some distant connections with the royal family.

00:45:29.000 He graduated through Roman Catholic Primary School, then he went to France on an engineering scholarship after the war.

00:45:36.000 And of course, the political party, you guys probably only know this in relation to the Vietnam War, the Khmer Rouge, right?

00:45:42.000 And that helped create an environment with a lot of instability as far as Cambodia.

00:45:46.000 Right, it was sort of embarrassing to the United States what had been allowed to flourish,

00:45:50.000 you know, sort of in the, I guess I should say in the, in the, uh, the tailwind of the Vietnam War.

00:45:55.000 And that's a big part of what led to, uh, the Pol Pot. 0.94

00:45:58.000 There's an argument to be made, and I'll make it.

00:46:00.000 That Henry Kissinger is directly responsible for the rise of Pol Pot.

00:46:00.000 Yeah.

00:46:03.000 A lot of people have made that argument.

00:46:05.000 Do you think so?

00:46:07.000 I don't think killing 150,000 Cambodian civilians for no gain did little to inspire the people to rise up around kind of that revolutionary force.

00:46:16.000 And what was the reason for Kissinger?

00:46:18.000 Well, he thought that's where the South Vietnamese insert, like the communist sympathizers and then the North Vietnamese Viet Cong, they thought they were kind of taking refuge in Cambodia. 0.98

00:46:27.000 So he carpet bombed the absolute shit out of Cambodia. 0.98

00:46:30.000 Yeah, I know that guy. 0.99

00:46:30.000 Yes, he did. 0.99

00:46:31.000 How is he doing?

00:46:33.000 Mr. Kissinger?

00:46:34.000 Yeah.

00:46:35.000 He doesn't look well.

00:46:36.000 Oh.

00:46:37.000 It's too bad, yeah.

00:46:39.000 He instituted Pol Pot, the year zero policy, which killed a huge portion of the population. 0.94

00:46:46.000 And year zero, to explain to you what this was, this was kind of trying to completely get rid of, it was replace old Cambodia with new Cambodia. 0.87

00:46:54.000 What was new Cambodia? 0.90

00:46:55.000 A communist utopia with Pol Pot. 0.56

00:46:57.000 It was, nope, we're going to do things completely different.

00:46:59.000 So you would think, oh, Vietnam, Kissinger, people trying to fight, you know, if you're talking about Vietnam, well, then you just end up creating these super communists. 0.66

00:47:06.000 So he came to power there.

00:47:08.000 Cambodians from towns, cities, they were completely expelled to work in the countryside.

00:47:13.000 This is something that they don't often tell you about socialism and about communism.

00:47:16.000 When you look at it historically put into practice, it relies on a very, very robust workforce and you do the job that you are told to do.

00:47:22.000 Doesn't matter if you have an aptitude for it.

00:47:24.000 You go out there and you start farming.

00:47:27.000 Oh, wait a second.

00:47:27.000 You're a professor?

00:47:29.000 Now you're a farmer. 0.85

00:47:30.000 And he specifically would target people who he viewed as intellectuals, because he saw them as largely useless in a communist society.

00:47:37.000 They want a society effectively of serfs. 0.97

00:47:39.000 They want a society of people who will do the work that the people in positions of power tell them to do.

00:47:45.000 Money, private property, religion, all abolished. 0.67

00:47:48.000 That's another through line you'll see with communist fascist dictators.

00:47:51.000 People say religion is the cause of all wars.

00:47:53.000 We'll add up the death count here and it's pretty obvious that that's not the case.

00:47:57.000 I mean, human beings will, there'll be conflict no matter what.

00:48:00.000 They'll fight over land, they'll fight over resources. 0.92

00:48:02.000 Sure, sometimes it's religion.

00:48:03.000 Sometimes it's ideas that can be secular, like communism versus capitalism.

00:48:08.000 But you do see with Mao, with people like Stoltz, with Pol Pot, these were people who 0.80

00:48:12.000 had deeply held hatred for traditional, what you would view as traditional Christian values

00:48:17.000 of the Western world.

00:48:22.000 Intellectuals were targeted, so teachers, lawyers, doctors, and something else, he would

00:48:26.000 send you out to the fields, which basically was a death sentence if you were a lawyer,

00:48:30.000 for example.

00:48:32.000 He would also target people who wore glasses, which brings me to another point with Pol Pot. 1.00

00:48:37.000 He didn't even try to hide that he was an idiot. 1.00

00:48:40.000 He just, glasses? 1.00

00:48:42.000 Oh, people will assume you're smart.

00:48:43.000 Let's send you out. 0.90

00:48:44.000 Let's vilify people with glasses. 0.95

00:48:46.000 Sort of like the old stereotype. 0.92

00:48:47.000 Nerd.

00:48:48.000 Glasses.

00:48:49.000 He actually implemented that as policy.

00:48:52.000 You wear glasses, you're going out to the killing fields.

00:48:56.000 I don't know how many people know about that.

00:48:57.000 That, to me, blew my mind when I heard about that and thought, why didn't I learn about this in school?

00:49:00.000 Especially considering that I wore glasses.

00:49:02.000 What about during the solar eclipse?

00:49:05.000 I have no idea.

00:49:06.000 I don't know if they had them back then.

00:49:08.000 But that would have been a welcome respite if they were working out in the killing fields, I would imagine.

00:49:12.000 Is this before context?

00:49:13.000 Yes, this is before.

00:49:15.000 I don't know how he treated people with astigmatism, but I would imagine he was none too kind.

00:49:20.000 And there were the, obviously, the mass graves.

00:49:22.000 That's the killing fields.

00:49:23.000 This is something else.

00:49:25.000 The killing fields were home to something known as the killing tree, which was where they killed babies and children.

00:49:30.000 And this is something else, too.

00:49:31.000 When you start creating a communist utopia, Everything relies on a, like we said, a top-down approach.

00:49:37.000 And now it just becomes about efficiency, where violence is fine.

00:49:41.000 It's just a means to an end.

00:49:42.000 And if you are not fit, if they see you as being a burden or a drain on the system, at a certain point they say, we've got to remove the drains.

00:49:49.000 We've got to remove the burdens.

00:49:50.000 Why?

00:49:50.000 This is a big difference too between a free enterprise, where people say, get your slice of the pie.

00:49:55.000 In free enterprise, you can bake more pies.

00:49:57.000 For example, one point, really, Ford was the only person providing any kind of an automobile.

00:50:02.000 Before that, we were talking about the horse and buggy.

00:50:03.000 Then you get a few different companies.

00:50:05.000 Now you have Tesla.

00:50:06.000 Now you have more... These are new pies that have been baked, that have created new methods of employment that, really, through innovation, is how we've solved a lot of our first world problems.

00:50:15.000 A lot of these people are still in the third world. 0.60

00:50:17.000 And they're in the third world because you can't bake any more pies.

00:50:20.000 There's a fixed amount of pie.

00:50:22.000 We're not innovating.

00:50:22.000 This is a communist nation.

00:50:23.000 You see this really clearly with Cambodia.

00:50:26.000 And so, hold on a second, there's only so much to go around. 1.00

00:50:29.000 Let's start killing the babies who may have disabilities. 1.00

00:50:31.000 Let's start killing the children who we think we can no longer support. 1.00

00:50:34.000 And this is why there's a difference between a psychopath and a sociopath. 1.00

00:50:39.000 Hitler didn't just kill babies for the sake of it. 0.75

00:50:43.000 It wasn't just violence.

00:50:44.000 He actually deeply, personally, he didn't have a stomach for violence.

00:50:47.000 Does not Hitler bad. 1.00

00:50:48.000 Hitler absolutely terrible. 0.96

00:50:50.000 But he had created in his mind an environment where Jews were subhuman.

00:50:55.000 These were seen as enemies.

00:50:56.000 It's the difference between fighting a war. 0.99

00:50:58.000 Now this is a psychopath. 0.92

00:50:59.000 He's warped it in his mind where he's at war with Jews and a percentage of the population, right? 0.99

00:51:03.000 Fighting a war versus murdering your own family in their sleep.

00:51:07.000 That's what you see with some of these communist regimes.

00:51:10.000 It really is sick where you're not even able to understand necessarily the mindset behind it unless you read Karl Marx.

00:51:18.000 Unless you read Lenin. 0.80

00:51:20.000 Unless you understand the ideology and go, oh, throw more bodies at it.

00:51:24.000 That's fine because it's for the greater good.

00:51:27.000 The greater good is not to protect your nation.

00:51:29.000 The greater good is simply to create a utopia no matter how many people die.

00:51:33.000 And Pol Pot really didn't care about that. 0.76

00:51:35.000 Pol Pot was a sadist. 0.84

00:51:37.000 And as far as the body count, 30 million people, Pol Pot. 0.82

00:51:41.000 That's 30% of his population.

00:51:44.000 Wow.

00:51:45.000 30% of his population.

00:51:47.000 Think about that.

00:51:48.000 In 4 years.

00:51:49.000 In 4 years.

00:51:49.000 Very short amount of time.

00:51:51.000 What's the math on that as far as how many Hitlers?

00:51:53.000 Almost 3, right?

00:51:55.000 No, it's more.

00:51:56.000 36?

00:51:58.000 No, 6 times 6 is 36.

00:51:58.000 No, it's about 4.

00:51:59.000 Oh, I was talking about the body count.

00:52:01.000 4-5.

00:52:01.000 It's like almost 5.

00:52:01.000 Call it 4 and a half Hitlers.

00:52:06.000 Four and a half Hitlers.

00:52:07.000 I'm forgetting the Hitler number.

00:52:08.000 I believe it was six per six point something percent.

00:52:11.000 You were shown up there by a tiny Cambodian.

00:52:14.000 Well, good for him.

00:52:19.000 There is a lot of parallels with today, by the way, when we talk about this year zero thing.

00:52:24.000 Look at the education, how big cities are getting rid of specialized schools.

00:52:27.000 Exceptionalism is bad.

00:52:29.000 Everybody's got to be the same at the lowest rung.

00:52:31.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:52:32.000 Same thing, I mean, you apply to education what you apply to the economy.

00:52:36.000 It's, hey, we're all the same.

00:52:36.000 Well, yeah, we're all poor.

00:52:38.000 We're all struggling in bread lines, or as Bernie Sanders referred to it, a good thing.

00:52:44.000 So his real name actually, Salaf Zar, or Sar, means white, pale.

00:52:50.000 That's true, Sam from HR, because of his complexion at birth, and then Pol Pot means original Cambodian.

00:52:50.000 Right?

00:52:56.000 So, I think it's pretty clear here, Pol Pot's going to be going through, but let's get to, so you can do it all at once, I don't want to have to keep getting up and sitting down and getting up and sitting down.

00:53:05.000 Okay.

00:53:06.000 You've been on your feet for a long time, so I'd imagine you're quite tired.

00:53:09.000 We'll go to... It's a fear that never gets tired.

00:53:11.000 It's a fear that never gets tired, that's what I've heard.

00:53:13.000 Also got 11 holes-in-one in golf.

00:53:15.000 I've been doing meth all morning.

00:53:16.000 11 holes-in-one.

00:53:20.000 He's been doing meth all morning.

00:53:24.000 Well, you know what, that's what they... I'm freaking wired, man!

00:53:27.000 That's what they had... And they mixed it with... What were you thinking?

00:53:30.000 You mixed it with morphine and heroin.

00:53:32.000 It's a good time.

00:53:33.000 Because at the German speedball.

00:53:35.000 Yeah, well, I guess it finally hurt you.

00:53:39.000 We call that a wienerwurst.

00:53:40.000 That's not what you call it.

00:53:42.000 That's not what you called it.

00:53:44.000 We call it that.

00:53:45.000 Okay.

00:53:46.000 Who am I to judge?

00:53:47.000 I don't know what they called it.

00:53:47.000 Who am I?

00:53:47.000 I don't know.

00:53:48.000 I'm not up to date with the old-timey Nazi drug nomenclature. 0.82

00:53:54.000 You really should brush up on your research.

00:53:55.000 I really should brush up.

00:53:56.000 Mobutu.

00:53:57.000 Mobutu.

00:53:59.000 His name, you're gonna like this, George Greek, all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, goes from conquest to gonquest, leaving fire in his wake.

00:54:09.000 That's what his name, because it's Mabutu Sese Seko Nkud Nkud Nbendu Waza Banga, which just sounds made up, if it means all that.

00:54:17.000 I like names that are direct and to the point.

00:54:19.000 Yes.

00:54:19.000 I need my little, little orphan dictator decoder pen.

00:54:22.000 Yeah, Pol Pot cuts right to the chase. 0.82

00:54:24.000 Pol Pot cuts right to the chase. 0.98

00:54:25.000 If nothing else, you know... What was his real name, Pol Pot?

00:54:28.000 Uh, it meant, uh, white and pale.

00:54:30.000 Sloth Sarr? 0.54

00:54:31.000 Sloth Sarr. 0.54

00:54:32.000 Yeah, Sloth Sarr. 0.96

00:54:33.000 It was, uh, Pol Smoker Pothead. 0.69

00:54:35.000 Hey! 0.99

00:54:37.000 Hey! 0.99

00:54:38.000 This guy thinks he's better than me?

00:54:38.000 Jealousy?

00:54:40.000 Well, I don't think... No, we think he's better than you.

00:54:42.000 What were you saying there, George?

00:54:43.000 I said it sounds like a little jealousy there.

00:54:45.000 Yeah, it does sound like it.

00:54:46.000 By the way, every time the Chancellor speaks, the researchers do this.

00:54:50.000 You can't see them off camera.

00:54:53.000 Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd make a living like this.

00:54:57.000 So, uh, the political, I mean, I don't, Mobutu, we just kind of had to put him in here to

00:55:02.000 fill out the bracket.

00:55:03.000 He embezzled between four billion and fifteen billion dollars during his quote-unquote reign.

00:55:08.000 And he set the development of the country back by a century.

00:55:11.000 I'm trying to think of what, when his era was.

00:55:14.000 What was it?

00:55:15.000 Mid-90s?

00:55:16.000 Well, 90s.

00:55:18.000 This is what people need to understand too.

00:55:19.000 This is post, you know, Zaire, right?

00:55:21.000 Muhammad Ali went and he was in Zaire.

00:55:23.000 That was a big deal right there.

00:55:24.000 Ali!

00:55:25.000 Bombay!

00:55:26.000 Ali!

00:55:27.000 Bombay!

00:55:28.000 Was that Zaire?

00:55:29.000 Was that Foreman?

00:55:30.000 Foreman or was it one of the sequels to Joe Frazier?

00:55:30.000 Yeah.

00:55:35.000 But they rumble in the jungle at times?

00:55:36.000 Was that Zaire?

00:55:37.000 One was Thrilla in the Manila.

00:55:38.000 Zaire was, yeah, rumble in the jungle.

00:55:40.000 And then Thrilla in the Manila was the Philippines.

00:55:41.000 Then there was the fight of the century, I believe it was the third fight.

00:55:44.000 The second fight between him and Joe Frazier. 0.81

00:55:46.000 So they were yelling to George Foreman, Alibaba, kill him. 0.72

00:55:50.000 Right? 0.99

00:55:50.000 They wanted him to kill George. 0.99

00:55:51.000 So they went to Zaire.

00:55:53.000 You would think, hey, a relatively modern Oh, by the way, here's a fun fact.

00:55:53.000 They had this fight.

00:55:57.000 of the world. And then this happens after. Mobutu happens after and 3 million people

00:56:01.000 are killed. That's 10,000% of his population. Sorry, 10%, not 10,000.

00:56:06.000 10,000 Mao.

00:56:07.000 10%. I'm not good with...

00:56:08.000 That's like 600 Hitlers.

00:56:11.000 I'm not good with math. We'll get to Mao in a little bit.

00:56:15.000 And, oh, by the way, here's a fun fact. His mistress was the twin sister of his second

00:56:20.000 wife. A little bit of Ilan Omar action going on there.

00:56:23.000 Except not as bad, if you can believe it.

00:56:25.000 Hers is straight.

00:56:27.000 It was directly her brother.

00:56:30.000 Alright, so in these brackets right here, I think Pol Pot definitely moves on.

00:56:33.000 Sorry, Nikolai.

00:56:35.000 Fidel Castro.

00:56:35.000 Oh, I forgot.

00:56:38.000 Fidel Castro.

00:56:40.000 Everybody's favorite or something.

00:56:42.000 Don't forget the groovin' Cuban! 1.00

00:56:43.000 Yep, we cannot forget the groovin' Cuban. 1.00

00:56:45.000 Trudeau's favorite.

00:56:46.000 Yep, Trudeau's favorite.

00:56:48.000 We should play a game Castro, Trudeau, or Liam Neeson character.

00:56:51.000 It's very hard to tell them apart.

00:56:53.000 Tall for a dictator.

00:56:55.000 First off, let's give credit where it's due.

00:56:57.000 6'3", 176 pounds.

00:56:59.000 That's not bad.

00:57:01.000 Law school graduate, University of Havana, and of course, the Communist Party of Cuba. 1.00

00:57:04.000 Now a lot of people don't know that the way was paid for Castro by all those stupid, dumb t-shirts you wear from Rage Against the Machine. 1.00

00:57:11.000 Che Guevara. 1.00

00:57:12.000 So people say he was a revolutionary man, but a revolution... Okay, the revolution led to what?

00:57:17.000 Well, of course, led to what we have with Fidel Castro.

00:57:21.000 Cuba, at one point in time, was a very, very wealthy nation that, of course, was just driven into abject poverty.

00:57:25.000 Not saying Batista was great, to be clear, before people say this.

00:57:28.000 He basically turned Cuba into a prison. 0.60

00:57:31.000 Pretty much the island of Cuba became a prison.

00:57:34.000 He started, actually, as far as his accomplishments, largest snitch network in the world, where he had the committees for the defense of the revolution.

00:57:42.000 I guess 8.4 million of the 11 million Cubans were members, and this was one big giant snitching network, right, George? 0.99

00:57:48.000 Yes.

00:57:49.000 That would be a good way to describe it.

00:57:51.000 Yeah, tattletales.

00:57:53.000 And nobody likes them.

00:57:55.000 He sent Cuban soldiers into the Cold War conflicts, obviously.

00:57:59.000 Not a huge, necessarily, body count, to be clear, Fidel Castro.

00:58:03.000 It's a little bit tough to track because the nation was just driven into absolute poverty.

00:58:08.000 And that would lead to more deaths than you would actually have.

00:58:11.000 Directly, 11,000, though, right?

00:58:12.000 I think is what's attributed to Fidel Castro, is 11,000, which is 0.1%.

00:58:16.000 That doesn't even show up on the U-scale.

00:58:19.000 No.

00:58:21.000 Something else, though, that is some interesting things.

00:58:23.000 First off, he fathered Justin Trudeau, and he survived 600 assassination attempts.

00:58:30.000 Wow.

00:58:30.000 Castro.

00:58:31.000 And this is a perfect example of Castro and Cuba, of what communism is.

00:58:36.000 It's really, it's like, and let me use the analogy, and women, before you get mad, it's like a woman having a breast reduction. 1.00

00:58:44.000 It's like slapping God in the face. 0.70

00:58:44.000 No. 0.70

00:58:46.000 That's my point, yeah.

00:58:47.000 So what you have with Cuba is you have really sort of the birthplace of the modern tobacco trade, right?

00:58:53.000 You hear people talk about Cuban cigars.

00:58:55.000 This is a good example of what communism does.

00:58:57.000 Cuban cigars at one point in time, yeah, they would be the best in the world.

00:59:00.000 It would make sense.

00:59:01.000 There's something in the soil that can't be recreated.

00:59:03.000 I believe some people say it's the lithium content.

00:59:05.000 There is a flavor that is unique to Cuban cigars.

00:59:08.000 It's the blood.

00:59:10.000 What was that, Nick?

00:59:10.000 It could be.

00:59:11.000 It's political prisoner bone dust.

00:59:14.000 It could be.

00:59:15.000 It could be the marrow that would lead to a higher, I believe, cadium content?

00:59:18.000 I don't know.

00:59:19.000 I'm not a mineralogist, if that's a term.

00:59:22.000 But the cigars have a very specific taste.

00:59:25.000 So people, they would seek out these cigars.

00:59:27.000 Now what happened is, you don't get to keep your crops in Cuba, of Cuban cigars.

00:59:30.000 As a matter of fact, you're more likely to get a fake cigar in Cuba Then you ought to get a real Cuban cigar in Cuba.

00:59:35.000 What happens is the government takes over all these tobacco fields.

00:59:35.000 Why?

00:59:37.000 Some farmers are allowed to keep maybe five to ten percent of their crops.

00:59:41.000 All of these tobacco leaves go into a couple of government-run warehouses, factories.

00:59:45.000 Boom.

00:59:46.000 They roll them out, and now you have your Cuban cigars.

00:59:48.000 And what happens is these cigars, as far as the quality control in comparison to some of the seeds that have been taken to the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, they're great cigars.

00:59:58.000 But they don't have that same taste as Cuba, but the quality control is leagues better.

01:00:03.000 You buy a box of Cuban cigars, they'll be plugged, you'll have green tobacco because they don't have time to age it properly, and they'll develop mold.

01:00:10.000 Some people call it plume.

01:00:11.000 That's a myth too.

01:00:12.000 Plume is just a smaller kind of, it's just a less severe kind of mold.

01:00:16.000 You can brush it off technically, but there's no such thing as cigar plume.

01:00:18.000 That's a myth.

01:00:18.000 It's mold.

01:00:19.000 So, and that's because they don't freeze their tobacco.

01:00:21.000 They flash freeze them in other countries.

01:00:23.000 You look at Cuban cigars, and it's something that should be, it's an advantage that this nation has, that only this nation has, that can't really be identified or recreated. 0.99

01:00:32.000 And they have turned it to crap. 0.69

01:00:34.000 Where Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras have taken them over as far as quality of the cigars. 0.99

01:00:40.000 You have to work hard to screw that up.

01:00:43.000 It's something that grows, you roll it, and you smoke it. 1.00

01:00:48.000 It has to be done by someone who is completely inept. 0.75

01:00:51.000 It can only be the byproduct, the destruction of the Cuban cigar trade, really. 0.95

01:00:56.000 It could be done no other way outside of communism.

01:00:59.000 And that's what you see.

01:01:01.000 It's a small example, but it's one that maybe you can understand.

01:01:04.000 Also, Che Guevara was a sadist.

01:01:06.000 He broke down one of the walls in his office so he could watch the firing squad at work. 1.00

01:01:10.000 Hated black people and shot handicaps and gays. 1.00

01:01:12.000 So enjoy your t-shirts, you pricks. 1.00

01:01:15.000 Let's... Killin' in the name of... Yes, exactly. 0.99

01:01:18.000 Exactly.

01:01:19.000 I love how he rages against the machine and then endorsed Biden. 1.00

01:01:23.000 Such as gay. 1.00

01:01:27.000 Brevity is the soul of wit, Mein Fuhrer. 0.98

01:01:29.000 So Pol Pot moves on, for sure. 0.95

01:01:32.000 Let's move on, Pol Pot. 0.93

01:01:33.000 And Fidel Castro is going to make it into the final eight.

01:01:37.000 All the Africans going out in the first round? 0.99

01:01:39.000 I mean, you know, look.

01:01:40.000 They have to step up their game.

01:01:41.000 Africa?

01:01:42.000 I get it, it's a continent.

01:01:45.000 Not the best.

01:01:46.000 Sheer brutality, maybe.

01:01:46.000 Not the best.

01:01:48.000 Well, if we're looking at genocide specifically and not dictators, they might... They might be up there.

01:01:53.000 Yeah, if this was March Madness, different story.

01:01:59.000 I kind of feel like this is just whatever month this is madness at this point.

01:02:06.000 Okay, final two brackets.

01:02:07.000 Kim Jong-il, Hugo Chavez, Ferdinand Marcos, and Papadok Duvalier.

01:02:13.000 So the first one is Kim Jong-il and Hugo Chavez, and the second bracket is Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines and Papadok of Haiti.

01:02:20.000 Again, I believe the betting lines are changing as we've narrowed this down.

01:02:22.000 Papadok is now only a plus 1100.

01:02:26.000 He went from $1,600 to $1,100.

01:02:28.000 So it's still an underdog, but you get a good return on your money.

01:02:32.000 You got live odds?

01:02:33.000 That's unbelievable.

01:02:33.000 We do.

01:02:34.000 Yeah, well, draftdictator.com.

01:02:35.000 It's for all your dictator betting needs.

01:02:39.000 Ferdinand Marcos.

01:02:40.000 Hey, Ginger Snap, why don't you help me with this one, because you like Asians, and I'm not as familiar with Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines.

01:02:46.000 Yeah, I mean, he wasn't The worst, you know.

01:02:50.000 He kind of improved the economy.

01:02:52.000 He's still a hero to a lot of the older Filipinos there today.

01:02:54.000 It's an accomplishment at 5'6".

01:02:57.000 He has a weird legacy, sort of like Pinochet in Chile, right?

01:03:01.000 Where he was very brutal with his opposition, but he was also seen by a lot of Filipinos as improving the economy and the stature of the country.

01:03:09.000 But he was very Interesting in his younger life.

01:03:13.000 So he was a marksman.

01:03:15.000 And at age 18, he actually, allegedly, assassinated his father's political opponent with a .22.

01:03:15.000 Okay.

01:03:23.000 Really?

01:03:23.000 Then, after being in jail for less than a year, got himself out, got the conviction overturned in the Philippine Supreme Court after writing his own 800-page appeal.

01:03:33.000 Wow.

01:03:34.000 So I don't know how much of that was formulated by people, higher-ups, but it seems like he was... Probably all of it.

01:03:40.000 Probably all of it.

01:03:41.000 I just feel like he was destined for great things.

01:03:42.000 Yeah, he was destined for great things.

01:03:44.000 Got a law degree from University of the Philippines, which is less than the University of Phoenix online.

01:03:52.000 Accomplishments, yep.

01:03:53.000 There you go.

01:03:54.000 You listed those.

01:03:56.000 He stole $10 billion from the country, though.

01:03:59.000 So that's the... All I know is that he stole a lot of money from the country.

01:04:01.000 Yeah, he did. 1.00

01:04:02.000 And his bitch loved her shoes. 1.00

01:04:03.000 That is true. 1.00

01:04:04.000 A lot.

01:04:05.000 I think it was Nick.

01:04:05.000 It was something like 3,000 pairs of shoes, right?

01:04:07.000 That is correct.

01:04:09.000 3,000 pairs of shoes.

01:04:10.000 To be fair, 2,000 of them, they were bogo at Payless. 0.91

01:04:10.000 3,000. 0.91

01:04:16.000 No, Bobo's sensible lesbian shoes. 0.78

01:04:18.000 They have the heel on them and everything. 0.83

01:04:22.000 Bobo, is that the bring one, gas one?

01:04:24.000 Yeah.

01:04:28.000 I think they had that sale at Payless.

01:04:29.000 The shoe store?

01:04:33.000 We had lots of extra shoes.

01:04:34.000 Dip.

01:04:35.000 Baby shoot.

01:04:36.000 One of the fun facts.

01:04:39.000 Yeah, no, it's a well-known fact, actually.

01:04:44.000 It's a well-known fact, that's why everyone's horrified.

01:04:48.000 The body count!

01:04:50.000 Please stop!

01:04:51.000 The body count!

01:04:53.000 Hitler bad? 0.93

01:04:54.000 So bad!

01:04:55.000 3,200 when we're talking about Ferdinand.

01:04:58.000 3,200, that's not that much, that's .007%.

01:05:00.000 So I don't even know why he's on this list, to be honest.

01:05:03.000 Because we needed a round number?

01:05:04.000 You know, it's like you got the top ten dictators, then filling out six more, you're just kind of picking and playing.

01:05:08.000 Right.

01:05:09.000 I don't know how much... I'm not going to lie to you.

01:05:11.000 I don't know much else other than the shoes.

01:05:14.000 Well, that's it.

01:05:15.000 He had a wife who spent like that on shoes and he didn't kill her, so...

01:05:18.000 Yeah.

01:05:19.000 She must have had some dirt on him.

01:05:20.000 If you think about it, she had access to whatever early version of the cloud.

01:05:27.000 His son is the current president of the Philippines right now.

01:05:30.000 And apparently he's not doing a bad job, from what I hear.

01:05:31.000 People like him.

01:05:32.000 Especially, he's super friendly to America.

01:05:35.000 Very anti-China.

01:05:36.000 So, you know, it's not like Marcos left a terrible legacy for us.

01:05:40.000 Yeah, well, and also Manny Pacquiao is a representative there, even though I believe he's illiterate.

01:05:47.000 Isn't that Floyd Mayweather?

01:05:47.000 So.

01:05:50.000 Both of them.

01:05:51.000 Both of them. 0.89

01:05:52.000 They were making fun of each other, like, you're illiterate. 0.96

01:05:54.000 Like, no, you're illiterate. 0.56

01:05:55.000 And it's like, just fight.

01:05:56.000 What's illiterate mean?

01:05:57.000 Yeah.

01:05:58.000 Apparently it means you could be a dictator.

01:05:58.000 Can't read.

01:06:00.000 Yes, apparently it does mean you could be a dictator with a very, very long name.

01:06:04.000 Papadoc is in the bracket.

01:06:06.000 Papadoc is in the bracket of Ferdinand Marcos.

01:06:08.000 Now, you may not know this, but Papadoc Duvalier.

01:06:15.000 is hilarious. 0.84

01:06:20.000 And what I mean, horrible person, just like Hitler, bad. 0.94

01:06:24.000 But he was the, his official title, I guess, is the incorruptible leader of the great majority of the Haitian people, the renovator of the Republic. 0.99

01:06:31.000 Now I'm going to tell you, just that title is bullshit. 0.99

01:06:34.000 He was completely corruptible. 0.99

01:06:35.000 It's almost what happened first. 0.74

01:06:39.000 The reason this guy is so funny to me is he's useless, yes, and he sort of got to, he benefited from I guess the umbrella policy because the United States was more concerned with Cuba at that time and wanted some allies in the region.

01:06:54.000 So we sort of gave him a little bit of a pass, the United States, at that point.

01:06:57.000 We knew some stuff was going on, but Haiti's never really been a threat to anybody.

01:07:00.000 We thought if that's contained, it's maybe better to have some kind of a physical ally in that region.

01:07:06.000 Apparently he was a physician.

01:07:07.000 I don't believe it.

01:07:08.000 The political party was the National Unity Party, which doesn't really mean anything.

01:07:12.000 Of course he repressed his people. 1.00

01:07:13.000 He stole from them.

01:07:15.000 He invested heavily into his secret police force.

01:07:18.000 The body count is estimated at 60,000.

01:07:19.000 Okay.

01:07:21.000 So that's 1.4% of the population.

01:07:23.000 So that's, you know, a third of a Hitler. 0.85

01:07:26.000 But, here's what's pretty interesting about him, is, you know, the large portion of the Haitian population are completely illiterate. 0.98

01:07:35.000 So he knew that.

01:07:36.000 And Papadoc is actually, it comes from a voodoo, is effectively like the Grim Reaper. 1.00

01:07:39.000 You've seen that face with the skeleton, right, in the graveyards, like if you actually, like New Orleans.

01:07:44.000 Thank Caffey Grippin.

01:07:45.000 Yes, yes!

01:07:47.000 That's Papa Duck, right?

01:07:48.000 So they started calling him Papa Duck.

01:07:50.000 He didn't believe in the voodoo stuff, but a lot of people in Haiti did.

01:07:53.000 So he would use that to manipulate them.

01:07:55.000 He would actually just, he'd tell some of his guards, and he knew that this would, the word would travel, he'd say, hey, and he'd grab like some kind of a skull candle and some chicken bones and say, I've got, I'm gonna go in my room here, I'm gonna go in this official office, close the door, no one come in, I have a seance to conduct.

01:08:11.000 And he'd go in, and they'd be like, Papa Duck is calling down the guards, we better not And he was in there, like, smoking a cigarette.

01:08:17.000 He's like, how long I gotta do this?

01:08:20.000 That's what he would do.

01:08:20.000 He would just mess with them.

01:08:21.000 He didn't believe it at all.

01:08:22.000 They were calling him Papadoc, and he kind of played it coy early on.

01:08:26.000 That's, you know, effectively a deity, the bringer of death, you know, for whom you'd trade Brittany Griner. 0.97

01:08:31.000 And he was like, no, no, no, I'm not Papadoc.

01:08:36.000 And then he was like, no, I'm not Papadoc.

01:08:36.000 I'm not Papadoc.

01:08:40.000 Then he would go on radio broadcasts. 0.97

01:08:42.000 He would issue his national radio news alert, whatever it was, from your dear Supreme Leader, whatever his stupid made-up title was, and he would talk like Papadoc while claiming that he wasn't initially. 0.98

01:08:53.000 Allegedly. 0.99

01:08:54.000 Talks like this.

01:08:56.000 So he would go out there and be like, I am your dear leader, here today with the news update.

01:09:01.000 Oh, we know it was Papa Duck!

01:09:03.000 And so they thought he couldn't be removed from power. 0.88

01:09:06.000 His reign was largely based on superstition and ignorance.

01:09:11.000 And that's funny to me.

01:09:15.000 He controlled an entire nation with children's tales.

01:09:21.000 Staunch U.S. 0.97

01:09:22.000 Staunch U.S. 0.97

01:09:22.000 ally. 0.97

01:09:23.000 ally, definitely.

01:09:25.000 It is not Cuba.

01:09:27.000 He had his own, oh that's right, he had his own Lord's Prayer.

01:09:34.000 And by the way, Haiti is a French colony, so I'm translating here, but this is the Papa Doc prayer.

01:09:39.000 It's, Our Doc, who art in the national palace for life, hallowed be thy name by present and future generations.

01:09:47.000 Thy will be done at Port-au-Prince.

01:09:49.000 You're kidding, right? 0.99

01:09:53.000 Thy will sucks! 0.99

01:09:56.000 Is that real? 1.00

01:09:58.000 It's real! 0.99

01:09:58.000 I just killed the monitor. 0.99

01:09:59.000 Are we okay? 0.85

01:09:59.000 Does it matter? 0.85

01:10:00.000 Did I just hit something?

01:10:02.000 All right, sorry, I gotta read this.

01:10:04.000 Thy will be done at Port-au-Prince and in the provinces.

01:10:08.000 Give us this day our new Haiti and never forgive the trespasses of the anti-patriots who spit every day on our country.

01:10:24.000 Let them succumb to temptation and under the weight of their venom, deliver them not from any evil.

01:10:33.000 Oh my god, he's a guitar act. 0.99

01:10:34.000 And people said that sh** all across the East. 0.97

01:10:43.000 Imagine if it was the Eastern Dinner. 0.97

01:10:47.000 Those watches with the 600 to 1 are right there.

01:10:52.000 They will be done at Port-au-Prince.

01:10:57.000 So Papa Doc, alright.

01:10:59.000 With this one we're gonna have to let Papa Doc, well, you know, I'm sorry, I forgot Hugo Chavez.

01:11:04.000 I'm just gonna let you know, Papa Doc's going through.

01:11:06.000 He earned it with that one.

01:11:09.000 He's gonna have to go through.

01:11:11.000 He had the first HBO special.

01:11:16.000 Is this dirt cookie jam?

01:11:19.000 They look a lot like pancakes or cookies.

01:11:22.000 The recipe passed down from generations here in Haiti.

01:11:25.000 Women spent entire days making them. 1.00

01:11:28.000 Grandmothers, daughters, and younger girls.

01:11:30.000 Infants are nurse, while mothers work the mix. 1.00

01:11:34.000 Kids seemed to enjoy them, at least when our camera was around.

01:11:38.000 But these patties, known as bonbon tares by the Haitians who eat them, are a grim reminder of just how poor this Caribbean nation is.

01:11:47.000 They aren't sweet, they're hard to swallow, and add almost nothing in terms of nutrition.

01:11:52.000 Because the cookies are actually made of dirt.

01:11:56.000 Oh my god.

01:11:57.000 That's where parody law comes from. 0.99

01:11:59.000 I just can't believe people bought that sh**. 0.99

01:12:03.000 Oh, sorry Haiti. 1.00

01:12:06.000 You're stupid. 1.00

01:12:10.000 I always have been, I always will be. 1.00

01:12:12.000 I will be done at Port-au-Prince!

01:12:17.000 What's communion?

01:12:18.000 Is it those dirt cookies?

01:12:22.000 They took the tape from my body, very literally.

01:12:25.000 Wash it down with his drain water.

01:12:27.000 Mother Mary, full of duck. 0.96

01:12:30.000 All right.

01:12:31.000 Now we have Kim Jong Il. 0.68

01:12:32.000 I think we have to break this up into three episodes.

01:12:34.000 Okay.

01:12:34.000 I think that's fine.

01:12:35.000 All right.

01:12:35.000 I think this is getting a lot of valuable content.

01:12:37.000 I just don't know what we're going to do when we get to the brackets because we have to, how are we going to educate people more?

01:12:37.000 Three years.

01:12:42.000 Should we just provide like a documentary then at that point with each one?

01:12:44.000 Yeah.

01:12:45.000 Let's find one.

01:12:46.000 Just upload it.

01:12:46.000 Sorry, History Channel.

01:12:47.000 I say more costumes.

01:12:48.000 Yes.

01:12:53.000 Kim Jong-il, dear leader, supreme leader, Kim Jong-il in this bracket with Hugo Chavez.

01:12:59.000 Here's the thing, you do have to kind of appreciate that they kept it in the family, the Jongs.

01:13:04.000 Yeah, yeah, that is a good plan.

01:13:07.000 His father was Kim Il-sung and then of course his son was Kim Jong-un and I feel like the most interesting thing about the Kims, I guess I'll do the first name last, Is the progressively aggressive hairdos? 0.61

01:13:23.000 So like if you look at his dad, like, you know, Kim Il-sung, he had a little, like, what would be sort of more so seen as, alright, you're going to a bar, he's maybe a little bit eccentric.

01:13:31.000 He's giving you a high and tight.

01:13:32.000 Then you go to Kim Jong-il, and he obviously had to outdo his dad, he's growing up in his shadow, so he's like, I'm gonna go really tight on the sides at this point and blow it out a little bit. 0.67

01:13:41.000 Like, he wants people to think he had a deep perm for some reason. 0.63

01:13:44.000 And then Kim Jong-il came in and he really, like, you know, he was absolutely a loser, so he was just like, I'm gonna take it. 1.00

01:13:51.000 He was like, f*** it! 0.99

01:13:52.000 I'm gonna take it all off! 0.99

01:13:54.000 Everything on the side!

01:13:55.000 It looked like a Korean house party. 0.97

01:13:57.000 And it just, you look at it, it just progressively got sillier and sillier. 1.00

01:14:01.000 And you usually don't get to be a dictator when you look that dumb. 1.00

01:14:05.000 Kim in play. 1.00

01:14:06.000 I like that haircut.

01:14:08.000 You would call it a lesbian? 1.00

01:14:10.000 We would call it a Lickins and no d***s. Okay. 1.00

01:14:13.000 I don't think that's what you'd call it. 0.96

01:14:15.000 Something's lost in translation.

01:14:18.000 Now, he went to Kim Il-sung University in Pyongyang.

01:14:22.000 Was it his son who was educated in Switzerland?

01:14:23.000 Kim Jong-un went to Switzerland.

01:14:24.000 Him and Kim Yo-jong, his sister, both were educated.

01:14:27.000 Here's what I don't understand with that, and I know we're supposed to be educating UN dictators, but just indulge me here for a second.

01:14:32.000 If he went to Switzerland, why did they let him out?

01:14:36.000 Oh, they didn't know.

01:14:37.000 Oh, they didn't know who he was?

01:14:37.000 They didn't know who he was.

01:14:38.000 The Swiss didn't know who he was.

01:14:39.000 The Swiss didn't know who he was?

01:14:41.000 They had no idea.

01:14:42.000 Fake passports.

01:14:42.000 I believe he was under a Singaporean passport.

01:14:45.000 I don't know what his alias was, but he was fake.

01:14:47.000 He was not there as Kim Jong-un.

01:14:50.000 I was going to say, what, he passed the eyeball test?

01:14:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:14:54.000 Stick out like a sore chicken finger.

01:14:56.000 Anyway.

01:14:57.000 So accomplishments.

01:14:58.000 In the 1990s, the food distribution system failed.

01:15:01.000 Of course, massive famine.

01:15:03.000 He withdrew North Korea from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and he oversaw the development of North Korea's first nuclear weapon. 0.80

01:15:11.000 And what else?

01:15:13.000 He has three classes of citizens, by the way.

01:15:15.000 Kim Jong-il.

01:15:16.000 Loyal, wavering, and hostile.

01:15:20.000 So I'm willing to bet they spend most of their time on the wavering.

01:15:26.000 It's like that undecided vote here in the United States.

01:15:31.000 And it's very hard to isolate him because the policies are so continuous between his father and his son that it's kind of the Kims, but he's oversaw the most death of any of them, so that's why we thought he was the appropriate one to put in. 0.95

01:15:43.000 It's tough.

01:15:43.000 What were the three categories?

01:15:46.000 Cold Red, Cold Yellow, and Cold Orange.

01:15:48.000 Those are Mountain Dews. 1.00

01:15:49.000 It was Ooloy.

01:15:50.000 There were three...

01:15:52.000 There were three...

01:15:54.000 There were...

01:15:56.000 You broke...

01:15:58.000 You broke...

01:15:59.000 There were three classes of citizens...

01:16:01.000 Loyal, wavering, and hostile.

01:16:04.000 Like cowboy fans.

01:16:05.000 Yes, yes.

01:16:07.000 And he actually, again, has convinced a lot of his people that he's a deity.

01:16:10.000 Kind of like Papa Doc.

01:16:12.000 They make up this stuff like, oh, in his first game of golf he got 11 holes and won.

01:16:17.000 It was a nine hole course.

01:16:19.000 It was a nine hole course.

01:16:24.000 Yeah, things like that where they just, they convince people that they're a deity.

01:16:27.000 Yeah, Putin too, they do that with Putin. 0.95

01:16:29.000 They do it with all these people, but this is really silly.

01:16:32.000 And when you actually read up a little more on North Korea, I sort of thought when Kim Jong-un died and everyone was crying in the streets, I thought the whole nation deserved a razzie.

01:16:42.000 Turns out, some of them were actually sad.

01:16:45.000 Right, so when Kim Il-sung died, the original, people were actually pretty sad about it because they did view him as a deity.

01:16:52.000 With Kim Jong-il, there's a lot more razzying going on.

01:16:55.000 You think so?

01:16:56.000 Yes.

01:16:56.000 There, some women in uniform were breaking down as a giant poster of Kim Jong-il rolled along, leading the funeral procession.

01:17:04.000 The scenes of mass grief were displayed across the North Korean capital as the cortege drove through the streets heading for the square named for his father and the country's founder, Kim Il-sung.

01:17:16.000 People wailed and screamed and beat their chests as the cars passed by.

01:17:22.000 Lamentations were loud as the cars circled the square twice in their first pass around the city center.

01:17:29.000 Yeah, it looked like they were, because that's also, it's really tough because if you have to force your population to, you know, to act sad when you die, and it's an entire population that can't act.

01:17:38.000 The South Koreans on the other hand. 0.60

01:17:40.000 Like a Seth Meyers drama.

01:17:42.000 You don't want to be wavering, Stephen.

01:17:44.000 No, I don't want to be wavering.

01:17:46.000 That's an undecided vote.

01:17:47.000 That's their swing state, is the wavering.

01:17:51.000 You think he shows up door-to-door with the wavering?

01:17:53.000 Hi, I hear you were wavering!

01:17:56.000 What can I do to ensure your vote doesn't matter? 1.00

01:17:59.000 Joe, I'll kill you. 1.00

01:18:01.000 Three million body count during the Korean famine. 1.00

01:18:04.000 Which is pretty good, considering the population.

01:18:07.000 I mean, depending on how you look at it, good or bad.

01:18:10.000 Effective.

01:18:11.000 Accomplished.

01:18:11.000 Effective.

01:18:12.000 It's effective.

01:18:12.000 It's an accomplishment.

01:18:13.000 It's alright for a famine.

01:18:14.000 Yeah, it's, you know, you could do more damage with famine.

01:18:18.000 Yeah, that's... I agree with that.

01:18:21.000 I mean, if you got rid of Funyuns, you'd take out a couple million streamers right now on Twitch. 0.94

01:18:27.000 Over 100,000 were in prison in gulags, so 13% as far as the number of his population.

01:18:33.000 So, it's still pretty, you don't even think about that because you were most likely alive for Kim Jong-il. 0.67

01:18:39.000 You know, we put him in Team America, World Police, and it was hilarious, and it's really, it's more, it's two Hitlers.

01:18:45.000 Two Hitlers, as far as percent of the population.

01:18:47.000 So imagine if, when World War II was going on, you had, you know, a film like, and you just had Hitler in there as a puppet and people were mocking him.

01:18:53.000 That's really what you're doing at this point in time, it's just that you're so isolated from it, you're not aware of what takes place in the world today.

01:19:00.000 In which you live.

01:19:01.000 Uh, what else do we have?

01:19:02.000 He was, oh yeah, that's right, he was a big movie fan.

01:19:04.000 He had 30,000 films in his personal collection.

01:19:04.000 Some fun trivia.

01:19:07.000 Not a one of them North Korean, I'm willing to bet. 1.00

01:19:11.000 And also says he was a big fan of Gene Shalit.

01:19:14.000 Is that a Juden?

01:19:18.000 This summer is a famine for good comedies.

01:19:25.000 laughing They're starving for laughter!

01:19:31.000 Anything I'm missing?

01:19:37.000 Uh, no.

01:19:39.000 I mean, I will say where he deserves a lot of The choice of words here is very difficult.

01:19:45.000 There's no good way.

01:19:47.000 Have you seen what we've done here today?

01:19:48.000 Well, yeah.

01:19:49.000 Hi, Hitler. 0.86

01:19:51.000 Did you say hi or hi-al?

01:19:53.000 He said hi.

01:19:54.000 Hi.

01:19:55.000 Yeah, let's go with salutation.

01:19:55.000 Hi.

01:19:56.000 Stop.

01:19:57.000 Hello.

01:19:58.000 Hands down.

01:19:58.000 Please.

01:19:59.000 But he did oversee the development of a nuclear program, which they still have, and that is the reason that they can exist as this lineage of dictators. 0.58

01:20:07.000 Oh, frickin' great.

01:20:09.000 I mean, it's not good for anybody else.

01:20:10.000 No.

01:20:11.000 Yeah.

01:20:11.000 But, you know, he has the power to up those, he gave Kim the power to up those numbers real quick.

01:20:16.000 It's like a couple Roman candles and some black cats.

01:20:16.000 Yeah.

01:20:19.000 Great job.

01:20:20.000 Well, one more thing.

01:20:22.000 5'3".

01:20:22.000 Why are we overlooking this?

01:20:25.000 We always overlook the 5'3", man.

01:20:27.000 He's down there.

01:20:29.000 Oh, I wouldn't talk.

01:20:32.000 So, in North Korea, that's very large.

01:20:37.000 He's the Goliath of North Korea. 0.94

01:20:39.000 That's another good example.

01:20:41.000 They don't need to eat a lot.

01:20:42.000 They're small.

01:20:42.000 Well, he does.

01:20:43.000 Only he does.

01:20:44.000 He just got fat.

01:20:44.000 He eats a lot.

01:20:46.000 Again, at some point, just kill your dictators and eat them. 1.00

01:20:51.000 Just start doing that. 1.00

01:20:52.000 Yeah, wait, what?

01:20:53.000 No, it's okay, you're fine, you made it through.

01:20:56.000 Anybody threatens to kill him, he straps them to the front of an anti-aircraft gun and blows them into oblivion.

01:21:01.000 Yeah, well, I know, I know, but my point is they can't catch you all. 0.55

01:21:05.000 If you just storm him, he's fat, he can't run away.

01:21:09.000 I mean, not him, but Kim Jong-un is even fatter.

01:21:09.000 That's true.

01:21:12.000 Way fatter.

01:21:12.000 They got progressively fatter.

01:21:14.000 We thought he died for a long time because he just disappeared.

01:21:16.000 Yeah.

01:21:16.000 That he had a heart attack and kicked a bucket.

01:21:18.000 And then he came out and he just has to exaggerate.

01:21:20.000 He can't just say, like, no, I'm okay.

01:21:21.000 Like, I'm in the best health ever!

01:21:23.000 No, he was just at the Golden Corral.

01:21:26.000 Have you tried the lasagna?

01:21:27.000 It's my favorite.

01:21:29.000 Yeah, it is going to be worse because she's a woman. 1.00

01:21:35.000 I really do believe in laws of contrast.

01:21:37.000 That's really important.

01:21:38.000 These things don't exist in a vacuum.

01:21:39.000 North Korea.

01:21:40.000 Could there be a South Korea?

01:21:41.000 Of course.

01:21:42.000 And you can actually look at not only the technological advancements, not only the economies, not only look at the quality of life, you can even look at the size of the people and the stunted growth from the starvation that takes place in North Korea.

01:21:53.000 There isn't really a reason for that separation to exist other than ideology.

01:21:58.000 So when people tell you religion is the cause of all wars, hold on a second, or religion is the cause of all major deaths, You can look to a lot of these nations, and if you have a comparison, that's really valuable.

01:22:09.000 And human beings, we always, just like pictures, we look for something in the picture for scale, right?

01:22:14.000 That's how optical illusions can take place if you don't have something that's appropriate.

01:22:18.000 And this brings us to, also in this bracket, Chavez.

01:22:21.000 And this one is interesting to me, because Chavez, or sorry, as Sean Penn refers to him, a great world leader.

01:22:28.000 Yes.

01:22:29.000 Hugo.

01:22:29.000 Hugo Chavez.

01:22:30.000 Hugo.

01:22:31.000 I shouldn't be saying Hugo?

01:22:32.000 I don't know.

01:22:33.000 Did I mess- I'm sorry to have offended the sensibilities of dictators. 1.00

01:22:36.000 Well, there's no H in Spanish, Stephen, so you have to be culturally sensitive to these types of- I don't give a s**t. Shut up, Jew. 1.00

01:22:46.000 All of you- He said shut up, you. 1.00

01:22:47.000 He said shut up, you. 1.00

01:22:49.000 You need to shut up, Sam from HR. 1.00

01:22:52.000 That's not what I heard. 0.97

01:22:53.000 Hugo.

01:22:55.000 Huggo? 0.90

01:22:55.000 Ugo. 0.90

01:22:56.000 Huggo.

01:22:56.000 Ugo.

01:22:57.000 Huggo? 0.90

01:22:58.000 That was the latest, uh, wasn't that the Scorsese film?

01:23:01.000 Ugo?

01:23:02.000 With the clock?

01:23:02.000 The kids movie?

01:23:03.000 I thought that was a Spielberg film.

01:23:05.000 Was it Spielberg? 1.00

01:23:05.000 I don't know, they both kind of suck. 1.00

01:23:07.000 The point is... I thought it was Tarantino. 0.99

01:23:07.000 I don't know. 0.99

01:23:09.000 Venezuela.

01:23:11.000 So Venezuela, I don't know if it is, I think it's the most oil-rich nation in South America.

01:23:16.000 Is it, as far as square land miles, is it actually the most oil-rich nation in the world?

01:23:20.000 They have more oil reserves in their territory than any other country in the world.

01:23:23.000 Than any other country.

01:23:24.000 Okay, I wanted to make sure that I was getting that correct.

01:23:26.000 I knew in South America, but there's no reason that Venezuela should be poor.

01:23:32.000 There's no reason that there should be bread lines.

01:23:35.000 A good example is in stateside.

01:23:38.000 There should be no reason for California to see a population decline when they have all kinds of natural resources, the ocean, you can grow anything there.

01:23:46.000 They were starting off, they had a head start as far as they could.

01:23:48.000 People are leaving because of policy, because of ideas.

01:23:52.000 Venezuela is a place that should be wealthy.

01:23:55.000 You have to try hard to screw it up.

01:23:57.000 And don't just gloss over this.

01:24:00.000 American leftists have been propping up Chavez and praising him.

01:24:04.000 They want to distance themselves from Chavez now.

01:24:07.000 But you had Sean Penn, you had Bernie Sanders, you had a long list of celebrities of people saying, yeah, no, Chavez is being misrepresented in the United States.

01:24:15.000 Well, now they've just sort of gone to radio silence.

01:24:18.000 So, Chavez attended a Venezuelan military academy.

01:24:23.000 United Socialist Party of Venezuela.

01:24:25.000 Oh, that might be why.

01:24:27.000 That might be why.

01:24:28.000 Is that a right-wing thing?

01:24:29.000 Yeah, it's another right-wing thing.

01:24:32.000 Socialism, of course, as far as his accomplishments, he turned Venezuela, again beforehand, the scale, from a near first world country to an entirely third world country.

01:24:40.000 And, of course, that was carried on.

01:24:42.000 Now, you saw it then afterwards with Maduro.

01:24:45.000 The oil wealth that existed there, of course, has been completely squandered.

01:24:47.000 I believe that he nationalized all of them or just to one degree was sort of a multifaceted approach.

01:24:52.000 I think it took place kind of in some steps.

01:24:56.000 He subsidized the oil exports to countries like Cuba, and then of course their strategic reserves shrank and the government debt doubled.

01:25:05.000 Wow.

01:25:07.000 That's pretty bad.

01:25:08.000 You have to try really hard to do that in a place like Venezuela.

01:25:12.000 Unbelievable.

01:25:13.000 You think about it, the whole world is fighting for long periods over oil, over energy, over resources.

01:25:19.000 They have it, and they squander all of it.

01:25:22.000 And of course, none of the money actually goes to the people.

01:25:24.000 The money always ends up going to those in power.

01:25:26.000 Hey, congratulations.

01:25:27.000 Socialism.

01:25:28.000 Communism.

01:25:29.000 And it's very important.

01:25:30.000 Same thing if you look back at Cuba.

01:25:31.000 You had people who viewed themselves as counter-culturalists, revolutionaries, right?

01:25:34.000 People.

01:25:35.000 The left supported Cuba.

01:25:37.000 The United States.

01:25:37.000 They thought Castro was great.

01:25:40.000 You still see people wearing Che Guevara on t-shirts.

01:25:44.000 And then you see, even to this day, let's talk about within the last decade, Sean Penn, Bernie Sanders, people praising Chavez.

01:25:51.000 They only put distance between themselves and these dictators once it's so undeniable that they have egg on their face. 0.94

01:25:57.000 But make no mistake, they would like to see these policies, to one degree or another, implemented here in the United States.

01:26:03.000 Body count, at least 100,000, that's 0.3% of the population.

01:26:07.000 So those are kind of small numbers in comparison to Hitler.

01:26:12.000 Oh, here's some trivia.

01:26:13.000 Since 2012, there are Chavez Eyes murals that actually still exist everywhere to show people that he is still watching.

01:26:20.000 Did you know that?

01:26:22.000 He's still watching.

01:26:24.000 Why do you find that so funny?

01:26:30.000 It's like, why didn't I think of that?

01:26:32.000 That was such a good idea!

01:26:38.000 Oh my God!

01:26:43.000 And kind of going back to Pinochet, who was part of, I guess, a coup.

01:26:47.000 This is the rule in South America.

01:26:49.000 This is how Chávez—it was 1992, there was the coup against then-president, it was Pérez, and I guess at that point Chávez participated, he failed in that coup, and then— Straight to jail.

01:26:59.000 Then straight to jail, released in 95.

01:27:02.000 Then he ended up becoming—was his title officially president?

01:27:06.000 I'm trying to—it's hard for me to keep track—and then the elections, remember, that were held after, and of course they weren't real elections, right?

01:27:11.000 These were just as I got 100% of the vote.

01:27:14.000 We'll make all the references publicly available.

01:27:14.000 I'm exaggerating.

01:27:16.000 You know, all the things they accuse Donald Trump of wanting to do, of never relinquish power, while they praise dictators who do it throughout the globe.

01:27:24.000 That's Chavez.

01:27:25.000 And what you saw with him and what you saw with people like Mao and all these communist socialist leaders is they start drinking their own Kool-Aid, thinking, oh, well, maybe I really do know everything.

01:27:34.000 Let me set the agricultural policy.

01:27:37.000 Let me fire all the engineers that work for our state oil company so we don't know how to get the oil anymore. 1.00

01:27:43.000 Bunch of dumbasses, man. 1.00

01:27:43.000 Great idea. 1.00

01:27:44.000 They start drinking their own Kool-Aid.

01:27:45.000 Or Papadoc, his own piss.

01:27:47.000 No, wait, sorry. 0.97

01:27:48.000 Idi Amin.

01:27:50.000 Mobutu, I don't know what he drank.

01:27:52.000 He probably drank protein shakes.

01:27:52.000 Communion wine.

01:27:52.000 Delicious.

01:27:54.000 He was 225.

01:27:54.000 That's true.

01:27:55.000 Big man.

01:27:55.000 Delicious.

01:27:56.000 Big man.

01:27:57.000 Probably some optimum nutrition whey.

01:27:59.000 So, okay, I think we know Papa Doc is going through, absolutely, but if Chavez and Kim Jong-il, who do we think should move on to our final eight? 0.68

01:28:09.000 I've got to put Kim in there. 1.00

01:28:10.000 Really?

01:28:11.000 Yeah.

01:28:13.000 I don't know.

01:28:14.000 I kind of like Chavez just because Chavez, like, you know, we have more afterwards, like, you know, it makes the way for Maduro.

01:28:21.000 You know, as far as it might be more interesting in the final eight, whereas we all know it's just Kim Jong-il goes to Kim Jong-un and they're both crazy.

01:28:28.000 Yeah.

01:28:31.000 I don't know.

01:28:31.000 You could flip a coin on this one.

01:28:33.000 I think it's a 49-51 match.

01:28:35.000 Maybe we'll have to go to Hitler for... Yeah. 0.94

01:28:39.000 Hitler's got the... I would go if it's a lady hair. 1.00

01:28:45.000 What's your reasoning for that?

01:28:46.000 Oh, I just like his smile.

01:28:48.000 Yeah, you like the smile?

01:28:49.000 Yeah, it's good teeth.

01:28:50.000 Yeah, okay.

01:28:52.000 And, uh... And he's got four eyes!

01:28:54.000 Yes, yes he does.

01:28:55.000 He's got eyes everywhere, but he's got four on his face.

01:29:02.000 Alright, you know what?

01:29:03.000 You've had a rough day.

01:29:04.000 Let's give you Kim Jong-il. 0.94

01:29:06.000 13% of the population.

01:29:10.000 That's a big population percentage.

01:29:15.000 That's the first round right there.

01:29:16.000 That is the first round.

01:29:16.000 I think we were planning on doing this in two installments, but we've got to do this likely in three.

01:29:20.000 Let's say quarterly.

01:29:25.000 We're going to run out of dictators, but you know, they'll keep propping up. 0.95

01:29:28.000 Popping up.

01:29:29.000 And we'll be propping them up, depending on who they are.

01:29:31.000 So that's been, we didn't go through the Ayatollah Khomeini, but let's be honest, he's not going anywhere.

01:29:36.000 Mao Zedong, Idi Amin, Joseph Stalin, Pinochet.

01:29:39.000 Well, who do we have left?

01:29:40.000 Wait, what's the final bracket?

01:29:40.000 That's right.

01:29:41.000 We have Mao, Ayatollah, Stalin, Saddam, Pol Pot, Fidel, Hugo Chavez, no sorry, Kim Jong-il, and Papa Duck.

01:29:53.000 That's gonna be a hell of a second round match.

01:29:54.000 Those are our final eight.

01:29:55.000 And I think we're just gonna have to make our way through the eight pretty quickly to get to the four, the semifinals.

01:29:59.000 There'll be much more debate.

01:30:00.000 Yes, there'll be much more debate.

01:30:03.000 And by that, I mean, they're all bad.

01:30:05.000 We can probably just start here with this matchup.

01:30:08.000 Yep, we can start with this matchup.

01:30:09.000 So tune in, I believe, we'll probably be doing this tomorrow, I'm assuming.

01:30:13.000 Yep.

01:30:13.000 We'll be continuing this.

01:30:14.000 So this is the great Dictator Dickoff.

01:30:17.000 We are going to see you as we continue through this and comment below because we'll be taking your feedback here.

01:30:20.000 Again, you can go to DraftDictators.com.

01:30:23.000 The Papa Doc betting lineup, I believe, is now just a plus 900.

01:30:28.000 Dark Horse, absolutely.

01:30:29.000 Well yeah, he advanced.

01:30:31.000 He did advance, so the odds have changed.

01:30:34.000 Let us know who you think the worst dictator is, and who did you learn about before today, and who would you like to learn more about tomorrow, or the next day, however long this goes.

01:30:42.000 Thank you to our wonderful researchers.

01:30:45.000 Mein Führer, I guess.
