00:06:29.000 We're back now on getting louder.

00:06:41.000 Wait, what happened?
00:06:43.000 What's going on?
00:06:43.000 That's it.
00:06:44.000 That's all I could write.
00:06:45.000 There really wasn't that much that happened.

00:07:12.000 I don't even want to do the Billy Joel thing.
00:07:14.000 No, people love the Billy Joel thing.
00:07:16.000 You love the Billy Joel thing.
00:07:17.000 I don't love the Billy Joel thing.
00:07:19.000 You didn't even flip the table over.
00:07:20.000 Maybe that'll help you, make you feel better.
00:07:22.000 I don't think flipping the table.
00:07:25.000 Try it.
00:07:26.000 It might.
00:07:27.000 It feels.
00:07:29.000 Come on, you want to.
00:07:30.000 There you go, almost.
00:07:36.000 It does feel pretty.
00:07:37.000 It does feel as good as it feels better.
00:07:38.000 Yeah.
00:07:39.000 Okay, but we got work to do it.
00:07:40.000 All right!
00:07:40.000 But it was a good idea that it was that flipping the table.
00:07:42.000 We're done, though, still?
00:08:20.000 Glad to be with you.
00:08:21.000 Glad to be back.
00:08:22.000 Ooh, my headphones were a little bit left.
00:08:23.000 That's on me, though.
00:08:24.000 I had my headphones a little bit too left.
00:08:26.000 Also, I heard that you were adjusting your mic stand.
00:08:28.000 So.
00:08:29.000 You heard that?
00:08:30.000 I could hear it.
00:08:31.000 Oh, you heard me doing it.
00:08:32.000 It's like we all should have done these things beforehand.
00:08:34.000 That would have been helpful.
00:08:35.000 But glad to be.
00:08:36.000 And yes, look, call me.
00:08:37.000 I'm not calling you.
00:08:38.000 Yeah, you did.
00:08:39.000 You're like, look, I'm a rookie.
00:08:41.000 I didn't know how to do your mic.
00:08:42.000 I didn't.
00:08:42.000 It was 20 hours.
00:08:44.000 And he keeps interrupting already, already.
00:08:46.000 I'm going to be called.
00:08:46.000 I came back from the break.
00:08:48.000 He can't help.
00:08:49.000 It's been a long time.
00:08:50.000 He's got to get that in.
00:08:53.000 It was a relaxing break.
00:08:55.000 Yes!
00:08:55.000 Finally.
00:08:57.000 I'll take it.
00:08:58.000 First admonish of the summer.
00:08:59.000 Very, very nice.
00:09:02.000 He got a buzz cut.
00:09:03.000 I didn't even notice.
00:09:03.000 So many changes.
00:09:04.000 It's not you.
00:09:05.000 I'm talking about noodles.
00:09:06.000 Not everything's about you.
00:09:06.000 Well, he did get a haircut yesterday.
00:09:08.000 I remember going, What hair is he cutting?
00:09:11.000 Maybe it's his back?
00:09:12.000 I don't know.
00:09:13.000 All right, guys, before we get into everything else, we mentioned the worthless degrees at higher education being put in the crosshairs.
00:09:19.000 That's a big deal.
00:09:20.000 I can't believe more people aren't covering that.
00:09:22.000 We're going to talk about Rotten Tomatoes with the Odyssey and how they're actually manipulating scores.
00:09:26.000 This is something that does matter because we're taking aim, and this administration is, at the mechanisms of Marxism in this country.
00:09:32.000 It is media, education, entertainment.
00:09:36.000 You deal with those, you cut off the head of the beast.
00:09:39.000 And a lot of people don't know the foul play with Rotten Tomatoes.
00:09:41.000 But what topic did we miss over the break that you want us to talk about most?
00:09:46.000 You let us know.
00:09:46.000 And of course, we're back at 11 a.m.
00:09:48.000 Live Eastern.
00:09:49.000 Captain Morgan, how are you?
00:09:50.000 I'm doing well.
00:09:51.000 Had a good break.
00:09:51.000 How are you?
00:09:52.000 Did you have a good break?
00:09:53.000 I noticed something different about you.
00:09:55.000 Yeah, a little bit.
00:09:55.000 I had my eyes lasered.
00:09:58.000 You can shoot lasers from your eyes?
00:09:59.000 I wish that.
00:10:00.000 Whoa, that is very cool.
00:10:02.000 I don't know how I feel about it.
00:10:03.000 We've already seen it in that stinger.
00:10:04.000 AI stinger.
00:10:05.000 Prophetic stinger.
00:10:06.000 Yeah, actually, it's true.
00:10:07.000 I don't know how I feel about Joe without glasses.
00:10:09.000 I don't know if you look better or if it's like Charlie Brown where he takes off his glasses and there's no eyes.
00:10:13.000 But it's not Charlie Brown, it's the other character with glasses.
00:10:16.000 You have Charlie Brown eyes.
00:10:17.000 Soulless eyes.
00:10:18.000 Macy?
00:10:18.000 The devil's eyes.
00:10:19.000 A doll's eyes.
00:10:22.000 Wow.
00:10:23.000 I think that's true.
00:10:23.000 He's like white Steve Urkel when he becomes Stefan.
00:10:26.000 Pretty much, exactly.
00:10:26.000 He kept asking me if I had any cheese.
00:10:29.000 I'm like, I. Don't.
00:10:30.000 Is this a wine thing?
00:10:31.000 Oh, it's an Urkel thing.
00:10:32.000 Or it's like a wine thing.
00:10:34.000 You never know.
00:10:34.000 It's like it's reverse.
00:10:35.000 He just turns into Urkel.
00:10:37.000 We should make a new stinger of Gerald.
00:10:38.000 Did I do that?
00:10:39.000 Yes, did I do that?
00:10:41.000 The answer is always yes.
00:10:43.000 Yeah.
00:10:44.000 Actually, we should do a different stinger, and it should be Full House and Gerald saying, How wooed.
00:10:49.000 Get a little dress going.
00:10:51.000 Every time I make fun of him, he's like, Cut it out.
00:10:54.000 Cut it out.
00:10:56.000 It is a great Scooby Doo impression.
00:10:57.000 Friday, July 31st at Film Alley in Terrell, Texas.
00:11:00.000 You know him.
00:11:01.000 You love him.
00:11:01.000 It is Josh Vaughn.
00:11:02.000 Firestine, how are you, sir?
00:11:03.000 I'm good.
00:11:04.000 I don't usually like to promote more than one date, but as the intro music was playing, I just got a text.
00:11:09.000 I'm going to be in Seattle this Friday.
00:11:11.000 Oh, very nice.
00:11:12.000 Emerald City's Comedy Club.
00:11:13.000 And in Texas, hey, Guy and Renee, people I met over the break out in the lake, he said, All right, we're going to go see, get your crap together, go see Josh live.
00:11:20.000 All right, yeah.
00:11:21.000 Yeah, bro.
00:11:21.000 Do it.
00:11:22.000 Before we get to that, here's an Instagrammer who decided to profile.
00:11:26.000 Oh, no, I forgot.
00:11:28.000 I was in such a good place mentally.
00:11:30.000 How else am I going to start?
00:11:31.000 Come on.
00:11:32.000 Profiled some inspirational, we're using that word loosely, Books for kids, more specifically, black boys.
00:11:43.000 Black boys deserve to grow up.
00:11:44.000 She's not black.
00:11:46.000 Picked your books to celebrate black boyhood.
00:11:49.000 What do brothers do all day?
00:11:52.000 Black boy.
00:11:53.000 Craze!
00:11:55.000 Dear black boy, okay.
00:11:57.000 What's up with all these books?
00:12:01.000 I am perfectly deserved.
00:12:08.000 Sign keep dreaming, black child.
00:12:09.000 That seems derogatory.
00:12:10.000 Yeah, that's like mocking.
00:12:12.000 Keep dreaming, little my little Mensa member.
00:12:16.000 Haircut day with daddy.
00:12:17.000 Let me guess, four days a week.
00:12:18.000 Okay.
00:12:18.000 I don't know what that is.
00:12:22.000 Oh, Saturday morning at the barbershop.
00:12:24.000 A lot of barbershop.
00:12:26.000 Bros.
00:12:26.000 Before.
00:12:27.000 Sequel Hoes.
00:12:29.000 It should be bros.
00:12:33.000 When Langston.
00:12:34.000 Is that the last one?
00:12:34.000 When Langston dances?
00:12:35.000 I think it was Watch Langston Dance.
00:12:37.000 Watch Langston Dance.
00:12:37.000 He was wearing a basketball jersey.
00:12:40.000 Was he wearing basketball?
00:12:41.000 It looked like a basketball uniform.
00:12:42.000 That could be just me being racist.
00:12:44.000 It could be.
00:12:45.000 I have no idea.
00:12:46.000 It's like Billy Elliott was twerking.
00:12:50.000 I know what you're thinking.
00:12:51.000 That first title that was there, What Do Brothers Do All Day?
00:12:55.000 That's the title of the book.
00:12:56.000 But we actually bought the book so that we could show you.
00:12:59.000 So let's go through that.
00:13:01.000 There's a learning strategy.
00:13:04.000 Oh, God.
00:13:05.000 Yeah, okay.
00:13:06.000 Cards are important.
00:13:07.000 Oh, after school activities.
00:13:08.000 Very nice.
00:13:10.000 Shut up.
00:13:14.000 And let's see, Paige.
00:13:16.000 Oh, come on.
00:13:18.000 Oh, my God.
00:13:19.000 Look.
00:13:20.000 Look, we could shorten that whole segment.
00:13:21.000 What do brothers do all day?
00:13:23.000 Not work!
00:13:26.000 That's not good.
00:13:28.000 Sitting on the porch.
00:13:29.000 I'm just trying to see if I have any more notes.
00:13:32.000 I don't.
00:13:38.000 I'm the old fashioned white supremacist who believes that being on time is important, or nuclear families, or being polite, or the English language.
00:13:48.000 And we'll get to the Smithsonian in a little bit.
00:13:51.000 What they used to accuse you of.
00:13:53.000 Right, of conspiring about, right?
00:13:55.000 They're just crazy.
00:13:56.000 Come on, what you think this is some, you think what there's some replacement?
00:13:59.000 What you think that you think people don't believe that we should have families?
00:14:04.000 What do you think you think black people don't agree with?
00:14:06.000 What do you think we don't believe we should learn English?
00:14:07.000 Now they're saying, yeah, this is white supremacy.
00:14:10.000 So we'll get this is where we are.
00:14:11.000 I think we should defund all of it.
00:14:13.000 If I was president for a day, I just look, if I could, I can.
00:14:16.000 If I was king, but you know what, we're just going to fund nothing, nothing except the military.
00:14:21.000 And like, there might be like two other things, like maybe a library here and there.
00:14:25.000 A national park.
00:14:26.000 And then you guys present, let's shark take it.
00:14:29.000 You present to me the case.
00:14:30.000 Why?
00:14:30.000 Because you have at the Smithsonian, apparently, which is supposed to be a museum.
00:14:33.000 We're supposed to learn about history and art.
00:14:35.000 You have them saying that being on time is white supremacy.
00:14:37.000 So now you get no pennies, which we discontinued.
00:14:39.000 You get nothing.
00:14:40.000 Maybe they're just saying, hold on, maybe it's a confused, they're just saying we're better at being on time.
00:14:44.000 We're supreme at being on time.
00:14:47.000 Get him off the screen.
00:14:50.000 You asked for that, didn't you, Tim?
00:14:52.000 I saw you lean over a minute ago.
00:14:54.000 Yeah, what?
00:14:54.000 I totally did.
00:14:55.000 Even chat's getting in on it.
00:14:57.000 Oh.
00:14:58.000 Someone has glasses!
00:15:00.000 He can't see without his glasses!
00:15:02.000 He can't be admonished without his glasses!
00:15:05.000 Oh, man.
00:15:06.000 Hey, good joke, Chad.
00:15:07.000 I'm upset we didn't think of that.
00:15:09.000 No, how do we not do the micro?
00:15:11.000 We should have done that as our intro, our open today.
00:15:14.000 Also, you don't get to speak unless you have a conch.
00:15:16.000 And I know some people say it's conch or conch.
00:15:17.000 I've heard both ways.
00:15:18.000 The point is, we're going to smash his glasses over a rock.
00:15:21.000 Yeah, but under a magnifying glass, we're going to burn his new laser eyes with a magnifying glass.
00:15:25.000 I can see with a conch.
00:15:26.000 Squeal for me, Piggy.
00:15:27.000 All right.
00:15:28.000 With your laser surgery, was it just your vision or did they add color in there?
00:15:33.000 Josh, we've talked about this.
00:15:34.000 They can't do that.
00:15:35.000 No, you know that.
00:15:36.000 No, they can't fix his soul.
00:15:38.000 We talked about it, but I wanted you to say it publicly.
00:15:40.000 Yeah, I appreciate that.
00:15:41.000 He's colorblind.
00:15:42.000 Yeah.
00:15:45.000 He's colorblind, but very racist.
00:15:48.000 All right.
00:15:48.000 I can't see black and white.
00:15:50.000 Here's so hey, you know, white people shouldn't run the world.
00:15:52.000 It's white supremacy.
00:15:54.000 You know what else?
00:15:54.000 Men shouldn't run the world because we'd be better off if men were in charge of it, specifically white men, right?
00:16:00.000 That's the message that you're hearing across the board.
00:16:02.000 Here's a fighter from UFC, Ian Gary, making it known that the world would be better off if it were exclusively run by women, but it's not sexist.
00:16:12.000 Any smart man in the world should look at his wife and know that that's the person I need to listen to.
00:16:19.000 Like, if the world was more smart, we'd all live in a better world.
00:16:23.000 Like, it would all be simpler and easier.
00:16:24.000 That's the fact that, no matter whether you want to do it or not, or you think whatever it is, if women ruled the world and we just listened to them and let them take over, it would be an easier world.
00:16:35.000 Okay, simpler and easier.
00:16:36.000 I want to just do a by the way, of course, that's something that Ian Gary would say.
00:16:39.000 This is the man who hyphenated his last name with his wife's.
00:16:42.000 This is a man whose nutritionist is his wife's ex husband, and they all travel the world together.
00:16:46.000 And allegedly, at one point, they lived together.
00:16:47.000 They spent a lot of time.
00:16:48.000 It's a weird setup, and he defended it until they said that's not really what happened.
00:16:52.000 So, of course, he has to do exactly what she tells him, and he would hyphenate his name that way.
00:16:55.000 But let's go through this simpler and easier.
00:16:58.000 Look, I think that women obviously are better at quite a few things than men simplifying, streamlining, making things more efficient.
00:17:07.000 Let's go through getting ready to go out, okay?
00:17:11.000 General social functions, preparing for work.
00:17:15.000 Meetings at work.
00:17:17.000 Tell me one example where a group of women would make these endeavors simpler than a group of men.
00:17:25.000 Any of them.
00:17:28.000 The whole thing, the whole joke about men is you're just so simple, right?
00:17:32.000 All they want is sex in a sandwich.
00:17:35.000 Whereas this is the premise for stand up comedy, the whole difference between men and women.
00:17:41.000 It would be simpler and it would be easier.
00:17:43.000 What would be easier?
00:17:44.000 Of course, by the way, this is just an old.
00:17:46.000 Trope that people use.
00:17:47.000 We've had women in charge.
00:17:49.000 This idea that we have not had women in charge is silly.
00:17:52.000 And the reason that women are often not in charge is because it hasn't gone well.
00:17:56.000 In many cases, unfettered cruelty.
00:17:58.000 So you had Mary, numero uno of England, burned 280 Protestants during her reign just for being Protestant.
00:18:05.000 Yeah, smelly.
00:18:06.000 You have Queen Renavalona of Madagascar, killed two and a half million of her own people through forced labor.
00:18:13.000 Yet Indira Gandhi ruled India under martial law from 75 to 77 rather than face removal for the alleged corruption.
00:18:20.000 Sterilize millions of Indians under the cover of martial law.
00:18:25.000 You know, simpler, easier.
00:18:27.000 Also, I will say a big swing and a miss when she didn't catch this guy for sterilization.
00:18:33.000 Oh, that's gross.
00:18:35.000 Ah, the old pit patty.
00:18:40.000 Yeah, the old pit patty.
00:18:46.000 I don't have another hand.
00:18:49.000 What do you expect?
00:18:50.000 All cultures are equal.
00:18:51.000 What's New York missing?
00:18:54.000 More of that.
00:18:55.000 They got everything except for pit patties.
00:18:57.000 It starts with eating your bowl of rice with your fingers, and you end up with pit patties on every corner.
00:19:04.000 They don't have the regulations.
00:19:06.000 And they do have hands.
00:19:07.000 I don't know why they do them.
00:19:08.000 I mean, people will then say it's chauvinism, or people will say that if you say, like, I think that men are generally more efficient, like, men generally will find the fastest path toward their goal.
00:19:19.000 That's what men have to do.
00:19:19.000 It's just the difference of sexes, right?
00:19:21.000 We're usually, historically, we've been hunters, gatherers, We've had to be in that pressure cooker.
00:19:25.000 We've had to be in high stress scenarios.
00:19:27.000 That's why men have better reaction time.
00:19:28.000 By the way, that's one of the biggest differences in sports.
00:19:31.000 Women are more social.
00:19:32.000 Women are more comforting.
00:19:33.000 Women are able to communicate, converse in a way that is more agreeable, less offensive.
00:19:38.000 The idea, though, that women would make things simpler, this is just, let's just say all the good things about women, good things about women, and just bad stuff about men.
00:19:47.000 And people say, sure.
00:19:48.000 Exactly.
00:19:48.000 And it's also not biblical either.
00:19:50.000 And I want to bring things back to that because it's like you can have this worldview.
00:19:53.000 You can try to pull from all these different areas and try to make this case somehow that.
00:19:57.000 Women would be better as leaders than men.
00:19:59.000 And you just have to remember like, we're not designed that way.
00:20:02.000 Right.
00:20:02.000 The designer said this is how it will work best.
00:20:05.000 You guys can do what you want, but I'm guaranteeing you, you're not going to like the results.
00:20:08.000 Right.
00:20:09.000 And I don't want to take advice from a guy like that anyway.
00:20:11.000 It works out.
00:20:12.000 No one ever just says, oh, defend that, that blanket statement.
00:20:14.000 No.
00:20:14.000 The world would be better off.
00:20:16.000 Why?
00:20:16.000 You know, there'd be no wars.
00:20:17.000 There were wars when women were in charge.
00:20:19.000 There'd be no death.
00:20:21.000 There was plenty of death.
00:20:21.000 There was plenty of murder.
00:20:22.000 There was plenty of unfettered cruelty.
00:20:24.000 Everything would be efficient.
00:20:25.000 Have you seen your wife's walk in closet?
00:20:27.000 What makes you think that it would be more efficient?
00:20:29.000 Well, he didn't.
00:20:30.000 I don't know if he said more efficient.
00:20:32.000 He did say simpler, though.
00:20:33.000 Simpler and easier.
00:20:34.000 Things would be much simpler.
00:20:35.000 Yeah, without electricity, everything's simple.
00:20:38.000 Yes.
00:20:39.000 Well, yeah, without plumbing, yeah, it's simple.
00:20:40.000 Go outside, squat.
00:20:42.000 There you go.
00:20:42.000 There you go.
00:20:43.000 Black people would be considered more on time because everyone would be late.
00:20:46.000 That's true.
00:20:47.000 There you go.
00:20:47.000 That's true.
00:20:48.000 It's the new era of the Latina woman.
00:20:50.000 Get used to it.
00:20:52.000 Nothing's on time.
00:20:57.000 That seems personal.
00:21:02.000 True man knows.
00:21:03.000 It's a thing.
00:21:04.000 It's just a thing.
00:21:05.000 It's like an entire continent has a thing.
00:21:07.000 Thankfully, whether you have a penis or a jet, it doesn't really matter when it comes to financing your home.

00:22:44.000 There you go.
00:22:44.000 A lot of people have saved money.
00:22:46.000 That's why they're still a sponsor.
00:22:47.000 I can't believe that the last get away with it.
00:22:49.000 They want more.
00:22:50.000 Really quick.
00:22:51.000 I hate ever doing this stuff because I don't like doing the personal things.
00:22:54.000 But over the break, a lot of you asked me to talk.
00:22:56.000 I guess Candace Owens wrote about me and this group here on X. Saying that or implying that I work with or I'm an asset to the FBI.
00:23:07.000 So, look, let me just read it for you.
00:23:08.000 She wrote, if you haven't caught on, it's always Steven Crowder who gets the exclusive on a bizarre trans narrative directly from the FBI, like he did for Audrey Hale in the Nashville shooting.
00:23:19.000 There is a reason for that.
00:23:21.000 He helps the FBI establish a trans narrative so the public doesn't prod further.
00:23:27.000 You know what?
00:23:29.000 Hey, I accept.
00:23:30.000 That's all.
00:23:31.000 Candace, I accept the debate, conversation.
00:23:35.000 They can do it.
00:23:36.000 Your show, my show, cross stream, neutral territory.
00:23:40.000 Maybe look silly.
00:23:41.000 Hey, just substantiate your claims.
00:23:42.000 If you believe that to be the case, of course.
00:23:44.000 I would say it's untrue, and you'll say that it is true.
00:23:46.000 Let's just sit down and talk about it since you brought it up.
00:23:50.000 Yep, I accept.
00:23:52.000 You guys can let her know.
00:23:53.000 That's it.
00:23:54.000 I don't want to do the back and forth on X or anything.
00:23:56.000 Yep, I accept.
00:23:56.000 Thank you for bringing this up.
00:23:58.000 Thank you for letting my name leave your lips, and glad to.
00:24:03.000 Glad to have this debate finally.
00:24:05.000 I'm glad to see that you're up for it.
00:24:06.000 Let's go into President Trump here.
00:24:09.000 So we were gone.
00:24:11.000 I mean, Iran, not good.
00:24:13.000 Right.
00:24:14.000 Not because Iran is winning, like some on the left are saying, and not because Donald Trump has betrayed, just because it doesn't seem like there's a very good off ramp.
00:24:21.000 The messaging is terrible, as we've always said.
00:24:23.000 Seems to be one of those things where they do something, we do something, the ceasefire doesn't really exist anymore.
00:24:28.000 So that wasn't great.
00:24:29.000 The selling early access to truth social posts, stupid.
00:24:32.000 That would be.
00:24:33.000 Yeah.
00:24:34.000 My read on it.
00:24:35.000 I don't know if anyone else has read it.
00:24:36.000 It's one of these weird things that he kind of, listen, he is announcing a lot of stuff to the public through social media, through true social, instead of just waiting to get it out through the press and everything like that.
00:24:45.000 And so he's like, well, if you want it early, come back and pay for it.
00:24:48.000 That just seems a little weird.
00:24:49.000 They do too many selling this administration kind of things.
00:24:52.000 Seems unethical.
00:24:53.000 So, yeah.
00:24:53.000 Weird.
00:24:54.000 Yeah.
00:24:54.000 It's definitely, so, imperfect.
00:24:57.000 But I will say this this is something that I can't believe has been glossed over by a lot of people.
00:25:03.000 When you think of the mechanisms of Marxism, the indoctrination in this country, right, where you've been, Entire generation, people under the age of 30, I think over half of them would vote for a socialist candidate in the United States.
00:25:15.000 What do you think are the primary drivers of that?
00:25:18.000 I've always talked about the media, entertainment, education, industrial complex.
00:25:23.000 It's those three media, entertainment, education.
00:25:26.000 And that is by design.
00:25:28.000 So when people say, What do you get for your vote?
00:25:30.000 Did you get what you voted for?
00:25:32.000 Well, on immigration, yes.
00:25:34.000 In contrast, everything, no.
00:25:37.000 On education, I liked what we saw with the student loans reversal from Biden.
00:25:40.000 But this is way bigger the idea that the federal government is basically no longer going to write a blank check for useless degrees.
00:25:50.000 That means a lot of the humanities, a lot of the liberal arts, a lot of the creative arts.
00:25:55.000 Our entire educational system, and even the tenure of a lot of professors, is predicated on the idea that, well, Uncle Sam's going to write a check, so let's just have you here in perpetuity where we can indoctrinate you forever.
00:26:07.000 And the federal government, this administration, is the first one to say, you know what?
00:26:11.000 We're not doing that anymore.
00:26:12.000 So, in case you've forgotten how bad it can get, here are the lunatics on campus destroying America, and they'll be building your roads and designing your planes in the future.
00:26:21.000 I made it.
00:26:22.000 Can I talk to you?
00:26:23.000 No, you need to get out.
00:26:24.000 You need to get out.
00:26:25.000 No, I don't.
00:26:27.000 You need to get out.
00:26:28.000 I actually don't.
00:26:29.000 All right.
00:26:35.000 Hey, who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?
00:26:45.000 That is cartoonishly funny.
00:26:47.000 It is, yeah.
00:26:47.000 In the sound.
00:26:53.000 He likes it.
00:26:57.000 It's like that's what I'm trying to do with the rest of them.
00:27:04.000 Yeah.
00:27:06.000 Tackle.
00:27:08.000 My chemical bromance.
00:27:13.000 Tackling me!
00:27:14.000 Sorry, sir.
00:27:22.000 He's going to pass out.
00:27:24.000 Legend has it there's a sound wave still rippling at UMass to this day.
00:27:29.000 You mask.
00:27:30.000 Oh, she's got the mask.
00:27:31.000 Look at the mask.
00:27:32.000 It's time for education infection.
00:27:34.000 Be a Marxist like me.
00:27:36.000 Me, it's an education infection.
00:27:39.000 Be a Marxist like me.
00:27:41.000 Me, it's an education infection.
00:27:43.000 All right.
00:27:44.000 Now take all those people and take all those professors, okay?
00:27:49.000 Here's what eliminates it.
00:27:50.000 No, no, you actually have to have something to show for it.
00:27:52.000 Well, you're a professor, you actually have to show that you've improved the lives of your students.
00:27:55.000 If you don't, that's it.
00:27:57.000 We're not funding this.
00:27:58.000 Students?
00:27:59.000 Oh, wait, you want to get that degree?
00:28:01.000 Okay.
00:28:01.000 If you want a loan, If you want any assistance, you have to prove that it's going to be useful.
00:28:05.000 You're going to benefit society, meaning you're going to earn more than you pay into that degree.
00:28:08.000 Otherwise, you're more likely to basically forego paying back your student loans and wait for a president who's going to forgive them.
00:28:14.000 So, no, no.
00:28:15.000 You have to make it work.
00:28:16.000 You have to be successful if you want us to help you.
00:28:19.000 This is not a blank check.
00:28:20.000 New provision.
00:28:22.000 In effect, as of July 1st, students are no longer going to be able to take out federal loans to pay for those useless majors.
00:28:29.000 And that has an effect on entire faculty departments as well.
00:28:34.000 A new provision championed by Republicans just took effect, which could limit the money available for certain colleges and certain professions.
00:28:42.000 It requires these programs to prove that graduates, on average, earn more than high school graduates.
00:28:50.000 If not, they could lose access to federal student loans.
00:28:53.000 Schools are already judging and looking at all of their programs to see which ones would fail and which ones would pass.
00:28:59.000 So they're starting to do the legwork to try to avoid the worst of the consequences.
00:29:03.000 Think about that for a second.
00:29:05.000 Schools now are afraid, so they're starting to do the legwork.
00:29:09.000 Educational establishments are now nervous that they may be graded on how effective they are in educating.
00:29:17.000 So they are now beginning, considering to do the legwork to prove that they're any good at educating.
00:29:24.000 And it's not just that it's now like it should have been the goal from the very beginning.
00:29:27.000 I don't know when the doors of the university opened, but it's the idea that now they're going, How do we get around this?
00:29:33.000 Not how do we fix it and make this more productive for students, but how do we get around it?
00:29:37.000 Well, here's the thing.
00:29:38.000 I will tell you, there's a big question mark.
00:29:40.000 This may only affect 2%.
00:29:42.000 Right now, we only have numbers on a very small percentage of degrees and programs.
00:29:46.000 That to me is a travesty where we know that these people, these graduates, make less than a high school, someone with a high school diploma.
00:29:53.000 That being said, it looks like this is going to require this new bill.
00:29:57.000 It's going to require them to prove that their degree will result in a better income.
00:30:02.000 So that could actually expand this quite a bit.
00:30:04.000 So right now, it's good.
00:30:06.000 It could end up being great.
00:30:08.000 Let me just read this for you.
00:30:09.000 This is from the big, beautiful bill.
00:30:11.000 This is what it actually says the median income of graduates for a school's bachelor's degree, associate degree.
00:30:16.000 And undergraduate certificate programs must be higher than the median earnings of people who received only a high school diploma.
00:30:23.000 For masters and doctoral programs, their graduates must make more than the median 25 to 34 year old bachelor's graduate in either that specific field or across all bachelor's degrees, whichever is lower.
00:30:35.000 That's important too because that removes, I don't know, things like PhDs for German poetry or whatever it is that you guys are doing.
00:30:42.000 So it's two tier.
00:30:42.000 It's all right, you want to do it?
00:30:44.000 They have to make more than someone who just went to high school.
00:30:47.000 Because you know what?
00:30:47.000 It's a lot of money.
00:30:48.000 And okay, they're getting a master's or they're going to be getting a doctorate.
00:30:52.000 Okay, cool.
00:30:53.000 They have to be making more than other people who just have bachelor's.
00:30:56.000 We can't just do this in art, basket weaving, or afro lesbian centric studies because it's still a lot of money.
00:31:02.000 And you know what?
00:31:03.000 We just don't have the money for it.
00:31:04.000 Might I present to you Google or one of the new AI interfaces should you want to search for this information in absence of a professor?
00:31:13.000 Or maybe you just pay for your own education.
00:31:15.000 There you go.
00:31:15.000 That's the thing is that this is what the left will trot out.
00:31:17.000 They go, oh, well, the government wants to take away access to education.
00:31:20.000 That's how they say it.
00:31:21.000 Well, it's not access to educate.
00:31:22.000 The access is still there.
00:31:23.000 You just can't borrow money from the government and never pay it back.
00:31:27.000 That's all.
00:31:27.000 You're mostly right, but I will say this here's the beautiful thing the access won't be there.
00:31:30.000 And that's why they're so concerned.
00:31:32.000 The access won't be there because they won't have these departments.
00:31:34.000 Because you won't be able to sustain them.
00:31:36.000 You have professors who are tenured.
00:31:37.000 You have professors who are tenured in this country who have never helped a single student earn an extra dollar.
00:31:44.000 They've taken their money, they have their benefits.
00:31:47.000 They can prove in no way whatsoever that they benefit that student's lives.
00:31:52.000 You can prove that they hate America.
00:31:54.000 You can prove the indoctrination.
00:31:56.000 They cannot prove any net benefit.
00:32:00.000 And these schools rely on the federal money because once that's gone, right, you think banks, especially if we look at the Pell Grants being hit, the scholarships, banks right now go like, all right, I'll loan you $50,000 because Uncle Sam's going to make up another $50,000.
00:32:13.000 Wait a second.
00:32:13.000 Uncle Sam's not covering the extra $50,000?
00:32:15.000 You're not getting my loan.
00:32:16.000 Why?
00:32:16.000 Because you can't pay it back.
00:32:17.000 There goes the idea of predatory lending.
00:32:20.000 This could do away with all of it.
00:32:24.000 It's a brilliant approach.
00:32:26.000 Now, there still are some details that have yet to be determined, but no one else has even tried.
00:32:31.000 And I want you to see watch for how terrified the left is because they know what this actually does.
00:32:37.000 And check the references.
00:32:38.000 We make them available every single show.
00:32:40.000 So there are some programs that are for profit that are hit a little bit harder, like cosmetology, barber school.
00:32:46.000 Then you have the not for profit departments.
00:32:47.000 Any surprise here?
00:32:48.000 Drama, fine arts, social work, which, by the way, they've been praised as heroes.
00:32:54.000 They should replace cops, social workers.
00:32:55.000 Turns out.
00:32:56.000 You actually don't make any more than someone with a high school diploma, and you're dumber.
00:33:01.000 Likely in the chopping block is Carnegie Mellon's university's bagpipe performance degree.
00:33:06.000 It's not that the students don't have a future, it's just not an ideal one to fund.
00:33:26.000 I'd fund it.
00:33:27.000 Yeah, maybe this is where I'd fund it.
00:33:30.000 I mean, how long is that program?
00:33:32.000 You teach the bagpipe and then you teach a hip thrust.
00:33:35.000 Well, in fire, fire, fire, fire.
00:33:38.000 I forget.
00:33:38.000 If I'm president for a day, I go only military and bagpipe thruster.
00:33:43.000 That's all we are funding.
00:33:45.000 Combine the two.
00:33:46.000 Whoa, watch out, funerals.
00:33:47.000 That's scary.
00:33:48.000 That would confuse the hell out of ISIS.
00:33:50.000 I'm like, I don't know.
00:33:51.000 There's fire coming from his hips.
00:33:52.000 Is it his dick?
00:33:53.000 I don't know, but it sounded like hell.
00:33:56.000 If that was marching at you in the desert?
00:33:58.000 Dude, I'd surrender right away.
00:34:00.000 Put your guns down.
00:34:01.000 Yeah, I just think these people are nuts.
00:34:02.000 You can't be crazy.
00:34:05.000 Yeah.
00:34:06.000 Thank you for the rake, Dan.
00:34:07.000 We appreciate it.
00:34:08.000 We're glad to be back.
00:34:10.000 Look, this, I should also say so, bagpipes, they're taking that one away.
00:34:13.000 That's on that chopping block, which I'm not a fan of, but you guys let me know.
00:34:16.000 He'll also be canceling whatever class this was that Gerald aced.
00:34:21.000 Climb up that butt.
00:34:23.000 Oh, come on.
00:34:25.000 See, it's not even me.
00:34:26.000 That guy has glasses on.
00:34:28.000 This, if implemented correctly, could be.
00:34:31.000 Doge could be the USAID cut, all of it times 10.
00:34:38.000 Long term, this could be the most important change, and I would really like to see other Republicans do more with it because there hasn't even been attempts made.
00:34:47.000 I mean, people will say, Did you get what you voted for?
00:34:49.000 I don't know.
00:34:50.000 H1B, an 87% reduction in new H1Bs, it's better than none.
00:34:54.000 It's not 100, but it's 87% better than zero.
00:34:57.000 As a matter of fact, it was an increase of like 200% under Biden.
00:35:00.000 Well, you know, border being secured at 99%, it's not 100, but it's pretty good.
00:35:05.000 This one, where we talk about the problem of education, it's one of the most often received chats from you.
00:35:10.000 What do we do about it?
00:35:12.000 Here you go.
00:35:13.000 Can you tell me anyone else who would have even attempted to do this?
00:35:18.000 Border, H 1Bs, two genders, this.
00:35:23.000 I would vote for this again 50 times over.
00:35:26.000 Yeah, 100%.
00:35:27.000 And it's a foot in the door because this kind of idea, this concept, we've talked about universities being indoctrination factories forever, but nobody's really had a solution to it other than, okay, maybe start your own university, tell kids.
00:35:37.000 They don't have to do that.
00:35:38.000 They can go to a trade school and make more money.
00:35:40.000 That's fine.
00:35:40.000 And those things will have impact.
00:35:41.000 This will have the biggest impact.
00:35:43.000 What they're doing is trying to give people an easy on ramp to debt for life.
00:35:48.000 And now you're dependent on the government.
00:35:49.000 It's not just the indoctrination, it's every ex post we see here's my payment for my student loan that I can never get out from under because I don't earn enough money.
00:35:58.000 That's the perfect cover to go in and say, we're trying to keep you from that.
00:36:01.000 We're going to protect you.
00:36:02.000 This is a scheme.
00:36:03.000 And this is what bothers me with so many people on the right who would, you'd have people on the right, I won't name names, who would say this about education, but they make sure that their kid goes to Harvard.
00:36:11.000 They make sure their kid goes to the best school they can.
00:36:13.000 They pull some strings.
00:36:15.000 I don't believe that.
00:36:16.000 I don't want my children to find something else they're passionate about where they can start a business or go to a trade school.
00:36:21.000 Hey, if there's a school nearby, state school, great.
00:36:23.000 I do not want to send them to what is a scam.
00:36:27.000 It is an indoctrination factory.
00:36:28.000 Now, look, let's just put to the side the fact that over 800 college programs leave their graduates earning significantly less than high school graduates.
00:36:36.000 That's like over 40,000 students.
00:36:37.000 Let's just put that to the side here.
00:36:38.000 The left knows that it is an indoctrination factory.
00:36:43.000 Factory and it's only gotten worse.
00:36:44.000 Let me ask this.
00:36:45.000 Okay, if you take someone, if you want to edge someone toward socialism, voting left.
00:36:49.000 All right.
00:36:51.000 They get a job or they go to school on a loan.
00:36:54.000 What?
00:36:55.000 Okay, there you go.
00:36:55.000 That's going to edge them towards being more left.
00:36:57.000 Okay.
00:36:58.000 If they're in an educational system where a huge percentage of the professors are women, we know the voting demographic.
00:37:03.000 Oh, okay.
00:37:03.000 You're going to edge them a little bit.
00:37:04.000 Okay.
00:37:05.000 They have a huge loan and they have a president who says that, or former vice president, that they'll forgive those loans and they don't need to pay them back.
00:37:11.000 Okay.
00:37:11.000 That edges them a little bit more.
00:37:12.000 You shield them from the real world surrounded by these professors for a long period of time without.
00:37:17.000 Ever having to make anything in return for four years, maybe six years.
00:37:20.000 Oh, that edges them left.
00:37:21.000 Then they graduate, they get out of said system, and their financial prospects are no better off.
00:37:28.000 And they need to either face that they've made some mistakes or there's an entire political party telling them, no, This was the college experience and we should pay for it for you.
00:37:39.000 If you wanted to breed young socialists, an entire generation, that's how you would do it.
00:37:45.000 Yeah.
00:37:46.000 That's exactly how conservatives make more conservatives.
00:37:49.000 Screw.
00:37:50.000 Have sex, make more.
00:37:52.000 Seriously, and raise them.
00:37:53.000 How does the left make more leftists?
00:37:56.000 Indoctrination, propaganda, and this is one of the most effective tools.
00:37:59.000 And you have been funding it.
00:38:01.000 You have been funding all of it.
00:38:03.000 You are funding the professors who teach your kids to hate you.
00:38:07.000 Think about that.
00:38:08.000 And then those kids make less money.
00:38:11.000 The most democratic, the most left leaning voting group in America is post grad degree holders with low or middle incomes.
00:38:20.000 Think about that for a second.
00:38:21.000 That means if you have low income or middle income, but you're not.
00:38:26.000 Someone with a postgraduate degree, you're not that much more likely to be a leftist.
00:38:32.000 That means if you have a postgraduate degree or you have a PhD and you're making good income, you are more likely to be right leaning, meaning you probably went into a field, you probably studied it in university in a way that was useful and you make more money.
00:38:43.000 This group is a group of people who studied things that were useless under the tutelage of professors who were indoctrinating them and then had to go out into the real world and want to vote themselves back into the fantasy.
00:38:56.000 It's not even close.
00:38:58.000 80%.
00:38:59.000 80% of DSA members have at least a bachelor's.
00:39:03.000 But about 45% have a household income of $60,000 or less.
00:39:07.000 So remember this big lie.
00:39:08.000 The left used to say, We're the party of intelligentsia.
00:39:10.000 Yeah, well, that's right.
00:39:11.000 The uneducated vote Republican.
00:39:13.000 You make less and you're dumber.
00:39:16.000 Our real world metrics also kids are not going into, they're not leaving university with reading, writing, arithmetic skills at all.
00:39:24.000 They're leaving with opinions, but no skills.
00:39:27.000 This is why the left is furious about it.
00:39:30.000 The left is far more furious about this than the right is covering it.
00:39:33.000 Yeah.
00:39:34.000 And that is bizarre to me because I can't.
00:39:37.000 There are so many books on the right, so many columns, so many videos about the left leaning nature of academia.
00:39:44.000 And here you go the first significant shot fired over the balcony.
00:39:48.000 It just seems like people glossed over it.
00:39:50.000 So I didn't even know, by the way, this was in the big beautiful bill from last year.
00:39:54.000 Yeah.
00:39:54.000 We didn't even, I didn't even know about this provision.
00:39:56.000 It just went into effect.
00:39:57.000 Yeah.
00:39:58.000 It's fantastic.
00:39:58.000 And that's why you have Chris Hayes, Stop the Hammering, MS Now host.
00:40:02.000 He wrote, The most left wing people in America are people with postgraduate degrees who are financially strapped.
00:40:08.000 And the most right wing are people without four year college degrees who are rich.
00:40:12.000 Yes!
00:40:14.000 Yes!
00:40:14.000 In other words, hey, did you start a business?
00:40:17.000 Did you maybe, I don't know, maybe go to a trade school and you started your own plumbing company?
00:40:21.000 You're going to be right wing.
00:40:22.000 Did you study Afro, lesbian, basket, water polo and you make nothing?
00:40:28.000 You're going to vote left because it's the only way that you don't have to pay that bill that stings every time you open the mail.
00:40:36.000 And it should.
00:40:38.000 And it avoids personal accountability.
00:40:39.000 Like you said, you have to either go, I've made some bad choices.
00:40:42.000 But how do you say that?
00:40:44.000 How do you say, as a PhD candidate or something like that, you've got an advanced degree and you don't make enough money and you can't pay your loans and you can't get ahead?
00:40:50.000 How do you say I made bad choices when everyone for your entire life has said this is the way to success?
00:40:56.000 The only thing that can be wrong at that point is the system is against me and we have to change it.
00:41:01.000 That's why they love it.
00:41:02.000 And for them to be a perpetual victim, they have to get people into these victim categories first.
00:41:07.000 I mean, it's not to be all libertarian on you here and just make it, but the economics of this, they are central to all the other social issues.
00:41:16.000 So it's like, hey, we have an obesity problem.
00:41:19.000 And those who are poor are more likely to be obese.
00:41:21.000 Okay, here's a solution.
00:41:23.000 Stop funding it!
00:41:24.000 You're not, we're not gonna pay for soda and funions and watermelon straws.
00:41:30.000 You don't have any money!
00:41:31.000 Eat what we give you!
00:41:32.000 You're skinny now!
00:41:33.000 Oh my gosh, these kids, they go to school and it's indoctrination.
00:41:36.000 Yeah, stop funding it!
00:41:39.000 There will be no protests on campus from people who professionally protest if they can't go because they have to pay their own way.
00:41:46.000 There will be no professors who create black only spaces or teach courses on white privilege.
00:41:51.000 If there's no salary for them, stop funding it, which is what we should be doing anyway.
00:41:56.000 Let me give you a very specific example.
00:42:00.000 This isn't new, but it's been circulating again.
00:42:02.000 This is at the Smithsonian.
00:42:04.000 They actually put this up there where they consider the following vestiges of white supremacy the ideas of individualism, nuclear family.
00:42:12.000 They're saying this is white supremacy.
00:42:13.000 Check the references.
00:42:14.000 The scientific method, the Protestant work ethic, aesthetics, holidays based around.
00:42:19.000 These are things they're saying hey, these are examples of white supremacy.
00:42:23.000 The Smithsonian director.
00:42:25.000 And Anthea Hartig, I think.
00:42:27.000 Yeah.
00:42:28.000 And Thea Hartig, Masters of History, UC Riverside.
00:42:34.000 Likely got some kind of Fed backed loan in liberal arts.
00:42:37.000 Okay.
00:42:38.000 Let's go through this.
00:42:39.000 This is a very real world scenario.
00:42:41.000 Okay.
00:42:41.000 Young leftists, they get some kind of a loan from the federal government or backed by the federal government in liberal arts or history or drama, creative arts.
00:42:49.000 Said leftist spends four to eight years in college with leftist professors, just like that person who's there at the Smithsonian.
00:42:55.000 You know, that would be.
00:42:57.000 Their leader, they would be the apprentice.
00:42:58.000 Then that leftist gets a recommendation for a nonprofit job, of course, at the Smithsonian.
00:43:03.000 And then all of the leftists together collectively rewrite history at the Smithsonian to the point where it's an assumed fact that being on time is racist.
00:43:15.000 That's how you get interactions like this.
00:43:18.000 As part of this white supremacy document that your organization has promoted, objectivity is a core and defining aspect.
00:43:27.000 Of white supremacy culture.
00:43:29.000 Do you think that it's the goal of the Smithsonian Institution to promote white supremacy culture?
00:43:36.000 Sir, do you mind sharing with me which document?
00:43:39.000 White supremacy culture, right here.
00:43:42.000 This is part of the mass action toolkit that your organization has promoted for several years now under your leadership.
00:43:51.000 Is Mickey Mouse racist?
00:43:53.000 Mickey Mouse is not racist.
00:43:55.000 It's not racist.
00:43:56.000 According to the Smithsonian, Institution, one of your exhibits referenced Mickey Mouse as representing, quote, vestiges of longstanding traditions of blackface minstrelsy.
00:44:08.000 Would you describe that as racist?
00:44:10.000 Is it important to be polite?
00:44:12.000 Excuse me, sir.
00:44:13.000 Is it important to be polite?
00:44:15.000 Yes, sir.
00:44:17.000 It's also interesting because the same mass action toolkit that your organization has been promoting references politeness as a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture.
00:44:30.000 Ma'am, are you a white supremacist?
00:44:32.000 No, sir.
00:44:33.000 What is Latina power?
00:44:34.000 What is Latino power?
00:44:37.000 Latina power.
00:44:39.000 Latina power would be the forces derived from being a Latina.
00:44:46.000 Do you think that it's appropriate for the Smithsonian Institution to sell Latina power paraphernalia?
00:44:52.000 It's a yes or no question.
00:44:54.000 I don't have control over what is.
00:44:56.000 I'm asking you if it's appropriate.
00:44:58.000 I didn't ask you if you have control over it.
00:44:59.000 Is it appropriate?
00:45:01.000 Yes or no?
00:45:02.000 Again, we strive to represent all Americans and include.
00:45:05.000 Is it appropriate, yes or no?
00:45:07.000 We strive to represent all Americans in our museums, including in our merchandise.
00:45:12.000 Is that right?
00:45:13.000 My time's up.
00:45:14.000 Thank you, sir.
00:45:15.000 Do you have your white power shirt?
00:45:16.000 Yes, you have the white power shirt.
00:45:17.000 Yeah.
00:45:17.000 And by the way, it's perfectly.
00:45:18.000 Valve because people say, Well, white is not the same as black, it's not a race, people, because you can be Irish and you can be no, no, Latina, by the way, not the same at all.
00:45:24.000 Go talk, go talk to people in South America, they don't view themselves as the same, to be clear.
00:45:29.000 Some of them speak different languages, and Africa's just one country, too, right?
00:45:33.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:45:34.000 It's just so silly, but that's hey, there you go.
00:45:37.000 That is the byproduct through all of these steps of education and indoctrination.
00:45:43.000 Stop funding it, do it with everything.
00:45:48.000 Just go through those.
00:45:49.000 We want a black only space, well, then you should go to a black only college.
00:45:53.000 Well, does my loan transfer?
00:45:55.000 It does not.
00:45:55.000 You can pay your own way.
00:45:56.000 I want you to refer to me as she.
00:45:58.000 Sorry, the school's policy.
00:45:59.000 It's a public school.
00:46:00.000 We use the biologically appropriate pronouns as recognized by our federal government.
00:46:05.000 Well, I want to.
00:46:06.000 Okay, you can pay to go to a private school.
00:46:09.000 I want to get a degree.
00:46:10.000 Well, you can pay your own way.
00:46:11.000 You want to do that?
00:46:12.000 You can get a degree.
00:46:13.000 You can get a degree in Afro, lesbian, funk duos if you want, but you have to pay your way.
00:46:17.000 Guess what?
00:46:17.000 It stops.
00:46:19.000 We have shielded kids, we have shielded not kids, young adults from the real world.
00:46:25.000 We have young adults who go through four years of glorified alcoholism, activism at the behest of their professor who is equally stunted in their development.
00:46:34.000 And when they leave, they get shocked by the real world.
00:46:38.000 So they stay and get another degree and another degree.
00:46:40.000 And at best, at a certain point, the only job they can find with said useless degrees are teaching the next generation of unwitting rubes.
00:46:50.000 These are the consequences, the fallout for this.
00:46:53.000 I cannot stress to you the importance if implemented correctly.
00:46:56.000 So, first off, yeah, education prices will be lower across the board.
00:46:59.000 The left should be happy with that, right?
00:47:01.000 Just never running supply of federal dollars.
00:47:03.000 Of course, that causes hyperinflation.
00:47:05.000 They better get competitive really quickly.
00:47:07.000 But most importantly, it ends one of, if not the most important, primary mechanisms of Marxism in the United States.
00:47:15.000 Useless teachers will be fired, they will be based on performance.
00:47:18.000 All of this brotherhood and sisterhood with the administration that goes away really, really quickly when they're hemorrhaging money.
00:47:24.000 The perpetual studenthood.
00:47:26.000 Now needs to be self funded.
00:47:28.000 You and I don't pay for that useless crap.
00:47:31.000 Things like that gender queer professional protester who you see spending eight years to get a PhD in women's lib is no longer going to be on campus and instead will have to get a job.
00:47:44.000 You know, like everyone else in this country, when we say that, oh, there's a two class system, yeah, it is.
00:47:51.000 Professional students, those who suckle at the government teat, contribute nothing, and vote in their own interests.
00:47:58.000 You can look at it across the board.
00:47:59.000 Across the board, as Chris Hayes said, if you look at voting demographics, if people pay taxes, if they work, if they contribute, whether they're poor, middle income, or upper middle class, guess what?
00:48:09.000 They're more likely to vote conservative if they have skin in the game.
00:48:12.000 If they don't, they don't pay taxes, they're students, they work in the nonprofit sector, guess what?
00:48:18.000 They'll vote left.
00:48:19.000 It's that simple.
00:48:20.000 It's that simple.
00:48:21.000 Require a productive society and you will have no socialism.
00:48:25.000 Ever!
00:48:28.000 Rotten tomatoes.
00:48:32.000 This one really pissed you off.
00:48:33.000 I'm not watching The Odyssey.
00:48:34.000 I refuse to watch The Odyssey.
00:48:36.000 This is so.
00:48:38.000 Again, we go to another mechanism the entertainment industry.
00:48:40.000 Yeah.
00:48:40.000 It's really effective at gaslighting people.
00:48:43.000 That word's overused.
00:48:45.000 It's really effective at indoctrinating people, and they're really effective at playing the victim.
00:48:49.000 And very often, you know, you'll see a bias that's proactive and go, well, I clearly see that, you know, at MS Now or someone like Brian Stelter.
00:48:57.000 But the manipulation that takes place behind the scenes.
00:48:59.000 Is something that went unseen for a very, very long time.
00:49:02.000 I think this administration has made great leaps to actually expose that.
00:49:08.000 This really highlights it, the Odyssey.
00:49:10.000 For a while, there was like Captain Marvel, there was Gamergate, but it sort of died down because the left realized okay, if we keep pushing this overtly, you know, the industry's not going to go very well.
00:49:21.000 They're still always trying to make it work subversively.
00:49:24.000 I used to be able to separate, and I still can, art from the artist.
00:49:30.000 I can't separate entertainment from the entertainment industry anymore.
00:49:35.000 Let's say that the Odyssey just made some casting mistakes, and I get it, it's fictional.
00:49:39.000 Let's say it wasn't.
00:49:41.000 Two on the nose.
00:49:42.000 I still wouldn't want to see it because I don't want to give my money to a production house, to a director who's going to use it to sucker punch me with the next one.
00:49:49.000 I'm at the point where I'm militantly, nope, I'm not giving them any money.
00:49:54.000 I'm not because I know how it's going to be used.
00:49:55.000 We see the game.
00:49:57.000 So if we look at The Odyssey, who they want you to believe that now 95% of critics and 97% of audiences love it.
00:50:07.000 No one has a bad word to say about The Odyssey.
00:50:09.000 Well, it seems weird because if you remember leading up to the movie, They skipped all those word of mouth pre screenings for influencers, social media.
00:50:15.000 They said, no, we're not going to do that.
00:50:16.000 They restricted or outright put basically a ban on all comments across official posts for the Odyssey.
00:50:23.000 That's always a good sign.
00:50:26.000 Well, apparently, after all of that, it opened to be a smashing box office and critical success.
00:50:33.000 Nary of Edward to be found.
00:50:35.000 King is coming back.
00:50:40.000 No, he's not.
00:50:44.000 The film, the first commercial feature shot entirely in IMAX, raked in more than $264 million worldwide.
00:50:54.000 The film is also declaring victory with critics, receiving an A grade on CinemaScore exit polls and 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:51:05.000 The momentum is only expected to continue with Oscar buzz already swirling.
00:51:10.000 Well, yeah, the momentum with critics, which they already knew.
00:51:12.000 They had, by the way, they're in the bag as far as momentum.
00:51:14.000 Like, it's only grossed about 282 million worldwide thus far.
00:51:17.000 They need to make at least 700 million just to break even.
00:51:21.000 That's a lot, that's a lot of money that they need to make now.
00:51:25.000 But with the critics, two separate worlds with the critics, well, sure.
00:51:28.000 I think Cal Sheet right now, do we have that?
00:51:29.000 They have The Odyssey at 50% odds to win best picture, and then Dune Part Three, I guess, is the next one.
00:51:37.000 Digger is the next one, really?
00:51:38.000 With Tom Cruise, yeah.
00:51:39.000 Oh, I don't know.
00:51:41.000 It doesn't look like Tom Cruise at all, though.
00:51:44.000 I didn't know that that was getting Oscar buzz, but yeah.
00:51:46.000 And here's the thing, this is not new to those of you.
00:51:48.000 Does anyone remember the Captain Marvel controversy that was going on back then?
00:51:53.000 This is happening with Marvel quite a bit across the board.
00:51:56.000 But Rotten Tomatoes, they've been caught with their pants down quite a bit.
00:51:58.000 Here's what the left will do the left will try and tell you, well, it's just an aggregator, so you can't blame them for bias.
00:52:04.000 Absolutely, we can.
00:52:06.000 They are dishonest, and it's not just an aggregator.
00:52:08.000 It is a place that has direct relationships with those in the film industry, and of course, some palms can be greased.
00:52:14.000 We know that.
00:52:16.000 How they do have a bias.
00:52:17.000 And here's how they try to socially engineer things.
00:52:19.000 They do it through a selection bias.
00:52:22.000 So, Rotten Tomatoes, for those of you familiar, they have a critic score, like an average score from one to 100, and they have an audience score.
00:52:28.000 So, the critic score is usually by qualified critics, right?
00:52:31.000 You'd think, like, I don't know, Chicago Sun, New York Times.
00:52:34.000 And then the audience is anyone who can go see the movie.
00:52:36.000 Well, that's not how it works.
00:52:38.000 And we'll go through that.
00:52:38.000 So, the critic score is 94%.
00:52:40.000 The audience score is 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:52:43.000 When you go to Metacritic, right, and they weigh the score differently, the critic score is about 89%.
00:52:47.000 The audience is about 51% for comparison.
00:52:53.000 So think about why.
00:52:55.000 And we'll get to the methodology, but I want to show you how Rotten Tomatoes manipulates the critic score, and they can do it with any film that they want, and the audience score.
00:53:04.000 It doesn't mean that they always do it, but it means they can always do it whenever they so choose.
00:53:10.000 So, going back to July 15th, by the way, there were no audience reviews and there were no critic reviews.
00:53:15.000 And I was checking this, Rotten Tomatoes.
00:53:17.000 This was the only review that I could see.
00:53:19.000 I know you're thinking, like, Washington Post?
00:53:21.000 No, it was Tim Cogshell from the Alt Film Guide.
00:53:24.000 And this is, we all know that one.
00:53:26.000 Eddie wrote, Christopher Nolan's latest cinematic event is perfectly good.
00:53:29.000 And yet, it's one truly remarkable achievement.
00:53:32.000 It's not the drama, the direction, the acting, the cinematography, the visual effects, but the sound design.
00:53:37.000 That was the only review up there, July 15th.
00:53:40.000 Sound design?
00:53:42.000 We're not getting that.
00:53:51.000 Big Debbie in the lead, but Pennywise is closing in.
00:54:00.000 And Big Debbie is in the lead once again.
00:54:04.000 What a race we have today, folks.
00:54:09.000 They're in the home stretch now.
00:54:24.000 Are you a lady or a guy?
00:54:30.000 Answer me, lady guy.
00:54:32.000 A gift.
00:54:38.000 For Athena.
00:54:39.000 A lady gift?
00:54:43.000 It's a guy.
00:54:45.000 I'm pretty sure it's a lady.
00:54:51.000 What say you?
00:54:52.000 Is it a guy or a lady?
00:54:54.000 LADY!
00:54:56.000 Now, if you think that is repetitive, the film goes on and on and on.
00:55:03.000 Stop it.
00:55:03.000 Listen, I saw it and I almost cheered when that scene happened at the very beginning.
00:55:07.000 I understand.
00:55:07.000 I get it.
00:55:08.000 And you make a very valid point that I'll consider in the future for these films.
00:55:11.000 But I almost was like, yeah, they killed her in the opening scene.
00:55:16.000 She can't even jog lightly with fake armor.
00:55:19.000 I know.
00:55:19.000 It's a horrible decision, an indefensible position.
00:55:22.000 Absolutely.
00:55:23.000 Yes, I get it.
00:55:23.000 She's like my four year old son.
00:55:25.000 Yeah.
00:55:28.000 She doesn't know what to do with his arms.
00:55:29.000 She jogs like my dog Joe Lewis when you put a Christmas sweater on him.
00:55:36.000 So, Rotten Tomatoes.
00:55:38.000 Here's how they.
00:55:39.000 Because if people believe, well, it must be really good, the critics say it's great, and the audience says it's great, guess what?
00:55:44.000 That creates momentum.
00:55:45.000 They understand this.
00:55:47.000 So, let's first go with the critic score, Rotten Tomatoes.
00:55:49.000 Here's how they manipulate it who they select to be a critic.
00:55:52.000 They have a certain criteria.
00:55:54.000 Now, to be clear, we were denied.
00:55:57.000 The times that we applied several times with Rotten Tomatoes as a verified critic.
00:56:01.000 I'll show you some of the people who have been approved.
00:56:04.000 Guess their political persuasion.
00:56:05.000 So these are the key values for Rotten Tomato critics to become verified insight, audience, quality, dedication.
00:56:14.000 They say that podcasters, YouTubers also have to show consistent review output for a minimum of two years.
00:56:19.000 I mean, I don't know how many dozens of reviews we've done.
00:56:21.000 A minimum of 30,000 subscribers on YouTube qualifies for wide audience reach.
00:56:26.000 We were, of course, denied.
00:56:28.000 However, These are included in that 94, 95% critic score.
00:56:33.000 Rachel Wagner is an official critic.
00:56:35.000 12,000 subscribers on YouTube.
00:56:38.000 1,000 views on the Odyssey review.
00:56:42.000 And of course, the review said it's an entertaining epic that's surprisingly rewatchable.
00:56:47.000 That was the whole review.
00:56:49.000 Yeah.
00:56:50.000 I will show you, too, there are some of these videos that you can watch.
00:56:52.000 It's just a screen grab, not even HD, of someone going, I liked this movie.
00:56:56.000 So you can look at some of the reviews that are included in the critic score.
00:56:59.000 I know what you're thinking, like Richard Roper.
00:57:00.000 You're thinking film critics?
00:57:02.000 No, it's whoever they choose.
00:57:03.000 Denied.
00:57:04.000 Many conservative reviewers or people who would be right leaning, denied.
00:57:08.000 And people who are just as far left and activists, approved.
00:57:13.000 You let me know when we have some of the videos there, Noodles, because some of them are just like literally 34 plays on some of them, but approved.
00:57:20.000 So, hey, you know what?
00:57:21.000 Maybe, guys, you can let us know why we weren't allowed to be critics.
00:57:25.000 We review films all the time and we'd love to do more Rotten Tomatoes.
00:57:29.000 We'd love to be included, provide some balance.
00:57:32.000 Then, if you look at the criteria for the audience review, So that's the bias, the selection bias that you see with the critic reviews, Rotten Tomatoes.
00:57:39.000 Then the audience score.
00:57:40.000 Well, first, let's use kind of a comparison Metacritic.
00:57:44.000 Anyone who can log on to Metacritic, if they have an account, they can write a review.
00:57:48.000 And each review is incorporated into the overall score.
00:57:51.000 All right.
00:57:52.000 Some people would say that's flawed because people control it.
00:57:54.000 Sure.
00:57:55.000 Okay.
00:57:55.000 I understand it.
00:57:55.000 Yeah.
00:57:56.000 Rotten Tomatoes.
00:57:57.000 Anyone can leave a review, but only verified reviews are counted toward the overall score.
00:58:03.000 Now, verified for audience, not just critics.
00:58:05.000 So now we have approval for critics, which is very selective.
00:58:09.000 Where the criteria doesn't make sense, but we also have verification for the audience.
00:58:14.000 So, what that means is reviewers, as I understand it, only reviewers who would get a push notification from the Fandango ticketing app after the movie ended could leave reviews for The Odyssey.
00:58:27.000 Now, someone could say, well, that makes more sense than someone just leaving a review if they haven't seen the film.
00:58:32.000 Sure, but let me ask you this Who out there buys your tickets exclusively on Fandango?
00:58:38.000 You guys let me know.
00:58:39.000 Now, second question How many of you who buy tickets on Fandango have its notifications turned on?
00:58:47.000 So, anyone who pays to whatever it is, the Cinemark app, Regal, I don't know the other primary ones, you don't even have a chance.
00:58:55.000 Anyone who even uses Fandango but doesn't have the notification set on or happens to catch them, you're not included.
00:59:02.000 Why so specific?
00:59:03.000 Do you think that maybe those people at Rotten Tomatoes saying, okay, we obviously had to, we know that you guys had to stop the screenings, we know that you guys had to disable comments.
00:59:12.000 There are some levers we can pull here.
00:59:14.000 If we only allow those who pay for tickets on Fandango to leave a review and only those who get a notification, We can look at the demographics.
00:59:20.000 The people who receive notifications from the Fandango app are actually far more likely to be old, confused, and not really in the loop with the controversy.
00:59:28.000 Or could they send out a message to people who might be verified, not critics, but verified users, saying, hey, this is how you would have to leave a review?
00:59:37.000 In other words, provide the instructions to one group and not the other.
00:59:40.000 That's how a lot of fights used to be fixed, to give you an idea.
00:59:42.000 You may not know this, but sometimes there was one guy in a fixed fight who didn't know that he was in a fixed fight.
00:59:47.000 It was the other guy who was paid to go down, the other guy thought he won.
00:59:50.000 You can provide different instructions to different groups.
00:59:52.000 You can look at, especially with AI, you can analyze it and say, okay, we just want this demographic of people to be included in voting.
00:59:59.000 All right, we've come to our conclusion.
01:00:00.000 Only people who buy a ticket on Fandango and have their notifications turned on in the middle of the day get to leave a review.
01:00:06.000 Congratulations, 97% for Tranny Odyssey.
01:00:12.000 That's it.
01:00:15.000 And then there were some other people out there who did some legwork, if you want to add to that.
01:00:19.000 So this was a Reddit user, Rory Tate, who pointed out that if you look at the metadata, And only the users who wrote a review on Rotten Tomato are included.
01:00:27.000 The results change, like the new audience score is 56%.
01:00:30.000 Meaning, if you got rid of, I think, just the verified ones with the push notification.
01:00:34.000 So, people who would be verified, so people who, as I understand it, likely would have bought a ticket or certainly would still have an account.
01:00:40.000 So, there's some form of verification, but they didn't do the push notification.
01:00:42.000 Oh my gosh, it's more in line with Metacritic.
01:00:49.000 So, this is important because we talked about education, we've talked about the media.
01:00:53.000 Media is dead.
01:00:54.000 As far as legacy media, CNN, MSNBC, MSNBC, I mean, none of them even have the same names, to be clear.
01:00:59.000 So, good.
01:01:00.000 Mission largely accomplished.
01:01:01.000 Stay on that.
01:01:02.000 Education will be decapitated, the beast, within the next decade, decade and a half, if this is implemented correctly.
01:01:10.000 The entertainment industry is a little bit trickier because, unlike media and unlike education, the industry is predicated around it being able to morph and adapt to new mediums like new media.
01:01:24.000 So, for the longest time, the entertainment industry.
01:01:26.000 They wanted to ban people online who were the competitors, right?
01:01:30.000 Podcasts, YouTube, things like that.
01:01:32.000 That was the era of copyright strikes, DMCA claims.
01:01:35.000 Then they said, oh, wait a second, this is where the puck is going regardless.
01:01:39.000 So let's just dump a bunch of money into these social media platforms or media platforms like YouTube so that we can dominate and force these guys out.
01:01:48.000 Oh, wait a second, people have found other platforms where they're able to give feedback and relay the honest information to the audience, like our movie Sucking, like it having a social agenda.
01:01:57.000 Okay.
01:01:58.000 Now, let's go to those who are trusted as aggregators and find ways that we can manipulate that.
01:02:05.000 And it's all designed to make you go, wait a second, 97% of people just love the Odyssey?
01:02:10.000 I guess I'm in a small minority.
01:02:11.000 Wait a second.
01:02:12.000 The vast majority of Americans don't have a problem with a tranny Bud Light can.
01:02:16.000 Whatever it is, take your pick.
01:02:19.000 It is designed to make you think that you hold a radical view when you don't.
01:02:24.000 And here's actually more privilege.
01:02:25.000 You know who didn't love the movie?
01:02:27.000 Emily Wilson.
01:02:28.000 And she was the one whose translation was basically used as the inspiration for The Odyssey by Nolan, which was a mistake in the first place.
01:02:35.000 The film has these flashbacks to the Trojan War.
01:02:39.000 I'm not sure if I see it as an entirely anti war film, but it certainly presents us with an Odysseus who feels very bad about.
01:02:46.000 Certain things that he's done in war and is struggling to process them in a very, I would say, very modern psychiatrized way.
01:02:56.000 And he's struggling to process them and needs drugs to do so for help with his recovery.
01:03:03.000 And he seems to feel bad about being a warrior, and we never actually get to see him doing much warrioring, which I thought in a way was a bit of a shame.
01:03:11.000 He wants glory and he wants to get spoils from the sack of a city, which is.
01:03:17.000 You'll see what Noel does with all of that, but it's different things from what Homer does.
01:03:21.000 I kept looking in vain for a sense that this was a film about glory.
01:03:26.000 I think it's a film that has some interest in shame, but I don't think it has any interest in glory.
01:03:32.000 I think she's also wrong.
01:03:34.000 His character doesn't have any problem with war and being in war, it has no issue with that at all.
01:03:39.000 He has a problem with him being responsible for the murder of men, women, and children in that city only because of his idea.
01:03:47.000 That was it.
01:03:47.000 It wasn't the sacking of the city or winning a war.
01:03:49.000 He didn't have a problem with that.
01:03:50.000 He had a problem with, oh my gosh, the only reason men, women, and children are being slaughtered throughout the city because it said 10 years of vengeance was unleashed in one night.
01:03:59.000 That was the problem that he had with it.
01:04:01.000 He's like, holy crap, what did I just do?
01:04:03.000 Yeah, but the primary, the first poem is really more so about a guy.
01:04:06.000 Oh, glory.
01:04:06.000 In other words, it's not.
01:04:07.000 For sure.
01:04:07.000 No, she's right on that one.
01:04:08.000 It's like modern, everything's praying.
01:04:09.000 Oh, okay.
01:04:10.000 Well, he'd be like, ah, I killed that little bitch.
01:04:13.000 I thought her analysis was wrong anyway.
01:04:16.000 Well, let's just not have women interpret all these classic poems.
01:04:20.000 To the originals, huh?
01:04:22.000 How about that?
01:04:22.000 It'd be like if we had the New Testament and someone's like, you know what?
01:04:24.000 I want to rewrite this.
01:04:25.000 I want to change all of this, actually.
01:04:27.000 I'm going to see how that works.
01:04:29.000 I actually have a question for that, Emily Wilson.
01:04:32.000 Are you a lady or a guy?
01:04:36.000 You must go by the tattoos.
01:04:38.000 What's hilarious is that that character, what's her name?
01:04:41.000 Ellen ends up in Hades and they end up talking.
01:04:43.000 She's like, you left me there to die.
01:04:45.000 And he's like, yes, but I was right there next to you.
01:04:47.000 I could smell your blood.
01:04:48.000 I was like, this is hilarious to me.
01:04:50.000 She dies at the open and the entire point of her being there was to get killed.
01:04:55.000 They left her behind to be killed.
01:04:57.000 It was hilarious to me.
01:04:57.000 I don't follow.
01:04:58.000 I don't like that you saw the movie.
01:05:00.000 I know.
01:05:01.000 I don't know.
01:05:01.000 I just can't.
01:05:02.000 Look, you guys, I just can't anymore.
01:05:03.000 I'm like, no, I'm just not going to give him the money.
01:05:05.000 It used to be like, because I know, I know people who are Christian conservatives would go, yeah, my kid really likes Miss Rachel.
01:05:12.000 Fuck you.
01:05:13.000 I don't know what else.
01:05:14.000 I'm like, no, because your child is just one click away from tit binding on Trans Awareness Day.
01:05:22.000 Fucking last to see the Odyssey.
01:05:24.000 Yeah, that he's one click away from being coached on how to say Latin X. Like, just no.
01:05:29.000 No, nothing.
01:05:30.000 It's a whole give a mouse a cookie or give a moose a muffin, whatever the hell it is.
01:05:33.000 Absolutely not.
01:05:35.000 I've just at that point, like an artist, if it's, let's say, a prick of an artist who's like a far leftist, I don't know, let's say Mark Ruffalo is in a movie that's really good and the movie has a good message and you know the people involved with production, it's like, okay, okay, fine.
01:05:47.000 I can separate the art from the artist.
01:05:49.000 I cannot separate the entertainment from the industry because the industry has decided that it is incumbent upon them to fundamentally change society in a way that is evil.
01:06:01.000 That's my view.
01:06:02.000 I'm hardline.
01:06:03.000 I'm militant.
01:06:04.000 I make no apologies about it.
01:06:06.000 And I'm not so fun at parties.
01:06:09.000 That's not true.
01:06:12.000 You're sometimes fun at a party.
01:06:13.000 Sometimes I can.
01:06:14.000 Yeah.
01:06:15.000 Depends on what kind of party.
01:06:16.000 Someone winds me up.
01:06:17.000 That's why we all try to get you to drink.
01:06:19.000 I know.
01:06:19.000 That's true.
01:06:22.000 That's why you dosed me.
01:06:23.000 That's why I had my neighbor come over and tell us that she's getting a divorce.
01:06:27.000 That's right.
01:06:27.000 Yeah.
01:06:28.000 Let's get Stephen Rowell up.
01:06:29.000 Well, because everyone's like, I can't believe that guy would.
01:06:31.000 They're both like 85.
01:06:33.000 Didn't you say she's the most annoying human being ever?
01:06:35.000 Like maybe the guy had enough.
01:06:36.000 He's going to die in two years.
01:06:38.000 For like 55 years.
01:06:39.000 Yeah.
01:06:39.000 It was a fun day.
01:06:40.000 Yeah.
01:06:41.000 So, going back to this, a lot of critics, outlets, and certainly a lot of fans had problems with the.
01:06:47.000 Like, 97% as far as an aggregate of an audience score would mean this is pretty much across the board.
01:06:56.000 Right?
01:06:57.000 Everyone agrees.
01:06:58.000 It would sort of be like you probably had that with The Dark Knight, which is another Nolan film, where people go, This is pretty hard to argue.
01:07:03.000 This is the best superhero film out there.
01:07:06.000 It was really well done.
01:07:08.000 You're not going to find, you might find some people go, I don't know, it's too mainstream.
01:07:12.000 Whatever.
01:07:12.000 But you're not going to find people who go, like, no, I thought it was absolutely crap.
01:07:15.000 Everything about it was horribly done.
01:07:17.000 So 97% means across the board, for all time, everyone will look back on it and say, objectively, that was as close to a perfect film that can be made.
01:07:28.000 It wouldn't allow room for many, many people being pissed about the casting, the inaccuracy, the overacting.
01:07:36.000 Like, here's an example Walter Masterson wrote about this, like, trying to tell people, well, no, hold on a second.
01:07:42.000 There were a bunch of people who were outraged.
01:07:43.000 This is someone trying to tell you, you shouldn't be outraged, right?
01:07:46.000 And that's another weird thing.
01:07:47.000 Yeah, people going like, well, I don't know why people are so upset.
01:07:49.000 Come on.
01:07:50.000 You don't.
01:07:51.000 You don't.
01:07:51.000 Like, have you lived under a rock for the last 10, 15 years where the left always bitches about appropriation?
01:07:58.000 Like, the Greeks don't get a bright spot.
01:08:02.000 Like, this is their thing.
01:08:03.000 You've been shoving it down our throats.
01:08:04.000 How do you not understand?
01:08:06.000 Yeah.
01:08:06.000 It's like, why would you be mad at the guy who texts you about hail damage?
01:08:09.000 Right.
01:08:10.000 Yeah.
01:08:10.000 I don't know.
01:08:11.000 F you.
01:08:12.000 Right.
01:08:13.000 Yeah.
01:08:13.000 They started out the movie not with just that scene, but with the black guy doing slam poetry.
01:08:18.000 Not kidding.
01:08:19.000 I'm even more mad that you saw this.
01:08:21.000 I didn't know that.
01:08:22.000 You prayed for a script where a black guy, an ancient priest, did slam poetry.
01:08:26.000 Obnoxiously slammed the table as he was doing it, too.
01:08:30.000 I was like, oh, this is.
01:08:31.000 I am familiar with the scene because I did watch the first six minutes.
01:08:34.000 I bootlegged it, though, like an American.
01:08:37.000 You just admitted to a crime, Josh.
01:08:39.000 Do you want to maybe qualify that as maybe bootlegged it?
01:08:43.000 Allegedly.
01:08:45.000 There we go.
01:08:45.000 That's enough.
01:08:46.000 I've seen slam poetry once in my life, and it was accidentally because it was an open mic.
01:08:51.000 And I had a friend who was doing a little, like, and I didn't realize it was open mic where anyone could do anything.
01:08:55.000 Anything.
01:08:56.000 And the guy just got up.
01:08:57.000 Really?
01:08:57.000 Well, technically, at a comedy open mic, you can do anything and be like, well, that was comedy.
01:09:02.000 I left very quickly.
01:09:04.000 Just a, you don't know.
01:09:04.000 You could have missed a big punch.
01:09:06.000 Well, come on.
01:09:07.000 You're a Norm fan.
01:09:09.000 I'll tell people about it during Rumble reading because it's not that I necessarily want to be going wide.
01:09:14.000 So, what, are you trying to tell me the.
01:09:15.000 I have one if you want to say it.
01:09:17.000 Oh, okay, okay.
01:09:17.000 So, by the way, just going back to this, what I was saying earlier, verified critics, not verified.
01:09:22.000 We're not.
01:09:22.000 Right, our Mug Club movie reviews that are done in this studio with professional sound consistently with a rating system that you guys understand.
01:09:29.000 That doesn't qualify, having done it for close to a decade, give or take.
01:09:34.000 But this is a verified critic.
01:09:36.000 Yeah, so just for the reference, it's called For Your Reference Podcast.
01:09:41.000 387 subscribers, 91 videos, and they gave it a five out of five.
01:09:46.000 So let's see what they have to say.
01:09:48.000 Come on, son.
01:09:49.000 Oh, okay.
01:09:52.000 Denzel's back.
01:09:52.000 Denzel's back.
01:09:53.000 Okay.
01:09:54.000 Shh.
01:09:55.000 Will be my.
01:09:55.000 Oh, I'm sorry.
01:09:56.000 This is for Gladiator 2.
01:09:57.000 She gave Odyssey 5.
01:09:57.000 Oh, okay.
01:09:58.000 I'm sorry.
01:09:59.000 It's for Gladiator 2, but this is her video review.
01:10:01.000 She gave Gladiator 2 a 5 out of 5.
01:10:02.000 No, no, no, no.
01:10:03.000 She gave the Odyssey a 5 out of 5.
01:10:04.000 She gave the Odyssey a 5 out of 5.
01:10:06.000 But she gave Gladiator 2.
01:10:07.000 Yeah, we need it.
01:10:07.000 Because we've all seen that crap.
01:10:08.000 Anyway.
01:10:16.000 Oh, I guess that's it.
01:10:17.000 All right.
01:10:19.000 Substance.
01:10:21.000 By the way, on CNN, there's the contributor who just always asks for a hoagie.
01:10:27.000 Here to hoagie requests.
01:10:29.000 Oh, dude, that's.
01:10:30.000 You know who that is?
01:10:30.000 That's Alex Krones.
01:10:32.000 Oh.
01:10:36.000 He looks like he just burped in his mouth and hopes no one's heard of him.
01:10:40.000 You tell me, make the case.
01:10:41.000 Hey, that's part of the critic score.
01:10:42.000 Why?
01:10:44.000 If you go look at the critics, the verified critics in Rotten Tomatoes, just look through.
01:10:48.000 I've looked through hundreds of them.
01:10:49.000 Most of them are complete and total crap.
01:10:51.000 Yeah.
01:10:52.000 Oh, by the way, not only that, I went to film school.
01:10:55.000 Didn't finish.
01:10:57.000 Well, yeah.
01:10:58.000 My brother did, but that's what I studied, right?
01:11:00.000 This is what I've done.
01:11:01.000 Why not?
01:11:02.000 But that, oh, I'm willing to bet there's some kind of racial or ethnic component to it, perhaps a gendered component.
01:11:08.000 So, a lot of people, 97% would leave no room for people going, hey, it should be Greek.
01:11:12.000 Or, hey, you know, the guy should be a man.
01:11:17.000 No one is having any criticisms.
01:11:19.000 But then when you look at people trying to quell criticisms online, that tells you how significant the criticisms must be.
01:11:25.000 So here's Walter Masterson making the case saying The Odyssey is a fictional story, never happened.
01:11:31.000 Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus and Queen Theta.
01:11:33.000 Zeus came to Theta as a swan, and Helen of Troy was hatched from an egg.
01:11:36.000 Homer never used the word Xanthus, fair haired, to describe Helen.
01:11:40.000 Sappho used Xanthus to describe Helen 300 years later.
01:11:43.000 And again, this entire story is made up.
01:11:45.000 Homer never even refers to the Trojan horse as a horse.
01:11:47.000 Read a book.
01:11:49.000 Then someone else, this guy Michael O'Lane wrote Helen of Troy was not Greek.
01:11:53.000 She's a pure myth.
01:11:54.000 Greece did not exist in this period.
01:11:56.000 Art and culture are not literal.
01:11:57.000 They are works of creative imagination.
01:11:59.000 The Odyssey is not history, it is a literary creation.
01:12:02.000 Then Lupita Nyonga, who was in the film, said in Elle's Magazine, This is a mythological story.
01:12:08.000 Okay, cool.
01:12:09.000 Now do black ones.
01:12:11.000 Do it with Wakanda, bitch.
01:12:13.000 Do it with anything that is seen as distinctly black, distinctly Indian, distinctly Latina.
01:12:18.000 Latino, Latinx.
01:12:20.000 Also, I get it, art is open to interpretation, but in this case, it's not someone taking a real story by your own admission and interpreting it as a film.
01:12:31.000 You are taking someone's work of creative fiction.
01:12:35.000 So, shouldn't that not be open to interpretation as far as creative vision?
01:12:40.000 In other words, it's already been expressed by the person who created it.
01:12:45.000 Greek!
01:12:47.000 It could be any number of things you take issue with.
01:12:49.000 Home Alone 3 had no Joe Pesci.
01:12:51.000 It's true.
01:12:52.000 Hated it.
01:12:52.000 Yep.
01:12:53.000 You mean Pesci?
01:12:54.000 Had French Stewart.
01:12:56.000 I know.
01:12:56.000 I forget that.
01:12:57.000 Who, by the way, would have been a better cast as Achilles.
01:13:02.000 Oh, I think my heel is bothering me again.
01:13:05.000 Oh, boy.
01:13:09.000 Better than Tranny.
01:13:11.000 Nice.
01:13:11.000 Here, you know what?
01:13:12.000 Well, technically.
01:13:13.000 What?
01:13:13.000 Yeah, she wasn't cast as Achilles.
01:13:15.000 No, I know.
01:13:16.000 They made up some new thing that they cast right there.
01:13:19.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:13:21.000 They just mentioned somewhere like, the bravest and best warrior among us, but you never see it like it didn't go through rewrites.
01:13:27.000 Sure.
01:13:28.000 100%.
01:13:29.000 Let's just let, you know, someone who's not me make the case because I'm a white supremacist, after all.
01:13:34.000 I show up on time.
01:13:35.000 Here's Dwayne The Rock Johnson, all natural, talking about how this kind of only applies to white Western culture, but not any other.
01:13:42.000 You shouldn't appropriate any other ones.
01:13:43.000 As a movie and as a character, I'm lucky to get the part, but also the part is so much deeper than just a part.
01:13:52.000 This is my ancestors and it's my soul.
01:13:56.000 Of all the films that I've been to, it doesn't matter how you feel.
01:13:59.000 This one is special because it is about our.
01:14:01.000 culture, our Polynesian culture, and it's our
