In this episode, the guys talk about how the military doesn't allow soldiers to grow beards. Is this a good or bad thing? Do beards make the military look intimidating or is it not?
00:00:00.000Especially when people have to be wanted and stuff going through.
00:00:03.000And you do have sometimes people who show up who are who are not acting in good faith where they're like and by the way, I want to promote Howard Surns Penis or whatever it is.
00:00:34.000Uh, but what I think he was referencing was people in the military who will get what's called a medical profile.
00:00:42.000A medical profile is something that makes you exempt from doing certain things because of a medical issue, and they'll get a medical profile for shaving because they get some kind of rash or some kind of breakout or bumps.
00:00:53.000Razor bumps, as is more commonly known.
00:00:55.000And um there's a lot of people in the military that that get these shaving profiles because they did they do suck and they hurt, and I get it.
00:01:03.000Um they might not be shaving the right way too.
00:01:05.000A lot of these people in the military, they never they never were taught how to be a man by uh you know, a mentor or father or something like that.
00:01:12.000But they'll they'll get these shaving profiles, and then what happens after that is that there is a regulation that it has to be uh well kept.
00:01:18.000Yeah, but there's no specific regulation about it.
00:01:22.000There are specific regulations like where your hair your hairline can't um your hairline can't go below your uh eyebrows uh or it it has to be able to go up in your hat and your helmet.
00:02:04.000They they'll they're they're one of their pant legs on bloused, or their their top is really wrinkly, or their flag is crooked, their name tapes crooked, they're uh their ranks on it there's there's always something else with these people, and it and it just bleeds into their work and they become lazy people at their job.
00:02:21.000They they're uh uh resentful towards everybody who makes them do something, which they're supposed to do.
00:02:27.000This is not and I could be wrong, but uh I really don't think I I this is not a reference to people who grow beards based on their job duties.
00:02:37.000Like guys who are in special operation forces, guys that work on recon teams, guys that work in special forces, who are down in South America as we speak, that are in Africa as we speak, that are across the globe right now teaching guerrilla forces how to defend their villages, how to defend their country, uh training militias and and young militaries how to defend their countries.
00:03:00.000When in Afghanistan, we had guys that would go out into um the villages and they would get uh they'd recon intelligence from from village elders about Taliban and and and uh IED cell leaders, and they would have beards because not only did it um make them fit in more, uh I'm um it's not really that because it you can a ginger guy with a big orange beard or a you know, or a big Mexican guy with a big Mexican beard.
00:03:25.000Yeah, they they don't think he's one of them.
00:03:29.000And that they fit in with the culture that way.
00:03:30.000And so uh it's not a reference to those guys, and um uh to be honest with you, uh looking intimidating has nothing to has nothing to do with a beard.
00:03:39.000Uh it has everything to do with a guy waking you up at three in the morning saying, get the fuck out of your bed and come with me.
00:03:45.000And uh it's amazing that this is controversial.
00:03:47.000My grandfather was a colonel in the air force, and my dad would talk like he he and his brother had to make their bed and he grant my grandfather would have to bounce a quarter off of it.
00:03:55.000Like, those that she has to be tight, bounce a quarter off.
00:03:57.000And I was like, what does that even mean, Dad?
00:03:59.000And like so the fact that now it's like, yeah, you can smell like poop and uh you know have a taco bell dog Johnny Depp must be.
00:04:06.000I believe that's what he means by beardos is that he doesn't get it.
00:05:34.000How helpful was the school admin when setting up this CMM compared to previous ones?
00:05:38.000Do you think Charlie's murder has changed their approach to conservatives on campus?
00:05:42.000Aaron Powell I, by design wasn't really involved with that.
00:05:45.000I know you were more Gerald and we had some complications and there were a lot of complications with uh with getting this.
00:05:52.000I don't know that necessarily I can lay it all at the feed of SMU specifically.
00:05:56.000I mean, they're they're just hoops to jump through any time you're going to do an event on campus like this and with the kind of security that we set up, it was it was extraordinary because of the times.
00:06:06.000Um but they you know we we did have people on campus that were very much in support of this helping kind of coordinate, but we had to pull it, kind of pull it out of some of the administrative folks to a degree.
00:06:17.000Now we've been in touch this is not the only change my mind we're gonna do.
00:06:20.000I'm not gonna say when, where, how, all that other stuff, but we've been in touch with a number of different universities that have been very excited.
00:06:27.000They'll be more helpful at some places and less at others.
00:06:29.000And that's where your support, like look, if you're a member, if you want to gift a membership or merch, you know, it's the best way to um support us.
00:06:35.000You know, we don't have a uh a giant organization, and uh a reason we did it was also you know, we're we are in the state of Texas.
00:06:41.000Um and so it's a little you know, travel is a big thing.
00:06:43.000And unless we have uh uh an actual private plane, we we'll have to charter it because of the amount of security.
00:06:50.000It's not possible to do the commercial.
00:07:11.000Why do people on the left seem to think a toy authoritarian is right and communism is left, and they are two radical opposites on the political spectrum.
00:07:20.000Uh I think you're saying that they are they're not two opposites.
00:07:23.000They're actually I don't want to say one and the same, but communism doesn't happen without fascism.
00:07:29.000Communism can't happen without authoritarianism.
00:07:31.000I mean you can't look at any of the somebody has to make the population agree to this.
00:07:37.000You don't get everyone to become communist and to you know share the wealth so to speak without making them do it.
00:07:45.000Trevor Burrus, you can say that some people initially support it, right?
00:07:55.000And then once that happens, uh you don't see legitimate elections.
00:07:58.000Again, you can look anywhere, you can look at Venezuela, you can look at Cuba, you can look at China, you can look at uh uh you can look at uh Cambodia with Pol Pot.
00:08:04.000You can, of course, did I say Stalin's Russia?
00:08:07.000Russia is the best example because and the reason it's the best example is because it went from somewhat not not quite as authoritarian as it would obviously had you know, you know, people that were in charge.
00:08:16.000But once it went communism and stayed that way for a very long time, and then they tried to go away from it, they had trained the people so much to be dependent on it that they could not even break away with it, even when given the opportunity to destroy the summary.
00:08:30.000That's a good point because you can't example.
00:08:32.000Once you're living a life that's you know uh you're relying on the government every every corner you turn and once they're not you know it's like declawing a cat and it's an indoor cat and then going like, here you go, enjoy the jungle.
00:09:02.000Helicopter rides, because Pinochet was like, hey, look, and of course there was some corruption, but he's still supported by a lot of people.
00:09:08.000And the reason for that is if you were not a communist seeking to actively seize the means of production and distribution and completely control the free market, you really weren't at risk.
00:09:19.000The only people under Pinochet who were at risk were the communists who he was, by the way, elected to replace.
00:09:25.000Now you can say it was aggressive, sure, but the difference between communist, like Alende, saying, I'm doing it for the people, until you're successful enough, so I determine which of you are the people.
00:09:35.000Pinochet was like, you are all the people except for the communists.
00:09:46.000That would be the closest thing you could kind of find.
00:09:48.000That's why they say Donald Trump, but you cannot find a leftist, a communist or socialist government that of course did not require authoritarianism.
00:09:57.000And people use autocratic fact they really kind of mean it interchangeably, meaning someone who basically just forces you to follow locks and doesn't do shit about your freedom.
00:10:07.000Why do people on the left not look into the things the news and their party say instead of doing their due diligence and sorting fact from fiction?
00:10:42.000I they go, I hear I know we heard some bullshit about maybe black people respond until I said, Yeah, because we all know those white people those white boys going into black neighborhoods and stirring shit up.
00:10:50.000That's why they get their ass kicked by a gang at 7 Eleven, right?
00:11:24.000And he came to the conclusion, he he he went through the stats that black men are effectively at zero percent increased risk of being shot by the police.
00:11:32.000And I said, that's exactly what people said.
00:11:33.000And so this black man who's a liberal who set out to see by how much black men were at greater risk, he conducted the study a second time and came to the exact same conclusion.
00:11:43.000They go, Oh, that's a white institution.
00:11:46.000And so I said, and now it's the prod, now it's the poodle, it's the nothing is safe.
00:11:50.000Let me go, yeah, that's why I'll say Uncle Tom, they go, it's not just if it's true.
00:18:20.000Well, we find out the doctors who are actually treating patients using that point, hydroxychloroquine zinc, quartetin, then ivermectin, they were banned, right?
00:18:28.000All the other authorities were banned.
00:18:50.000Then after that, hey, come on, the select guys, let's let's this is the most free and fair election of all the experts have told you so.
00:18:57.000Then you find out that those experts actually said that election fraud was a big issue and election interity, including Amy Klibachar and Bernie Sanders, and I believe Elizabeth Warren, I'd have to go back, I'm going by rote here, but all of a sudden it's fine, even though there was mass male inbody.
00:19:07.000But trust the experts because we tell you to.
00:19:10.000And then we look at the second Donald Trump election.
00:19:13.000Hey, there's no chance, and he's a fascist, he's a Nazi.
00:19:15.000Every single time it's trust the experts.
00:21:36.000Why should we trust the people who signed a contract that they were going to promise, spend two percent of their GDP on military spending, right as part of a NATO, and not meet it for decades.
00:21:46.000Why should we trust the people who don't honor the word that they give, which is the only reason for them being in said organization that we're supposed to trust?
