00:05:10.620You get to meet the beloveds. You get to chat with them. We get extra shows. And that's where
00:05:17.440Scott's micro lessons, reframes, post-show, pre-show, man caves, there's thousands more
00:05:24.360hours and shows over there than you've ever seen. So please consider joining there.
00:05:30.460And I'm going to give you a little taste of something that would happen over for the locals
00:05:34.540community. And let's take this lesson from Scott, because we cannot get enough Scott ever. Here we
00:05:41.740go. Here's a quick micro lesson. Here's a quick micro lesson on how identity is more important
00:05:52.260than reason. If you get into a debate with somebody and you realize that they're arguing
00:05:56.940from a point of, well, this is who I am, such as this is by religion or I'm this political party,
00:06:04.540or I'm this kind of person culturally, you're never going to be able to talk about it with
00:06:10.120reasons. Identity will always trump reasons. So don't expect to convert people who have made
0.98
00:06:17.240their entire identity around a certain set of beliefs, even if you've got really good reasons
00:06:22.440and really good sources. Never happen. So what you can do is go after the identity.
00:06:29.120If you want somebody to be more reasonable, you might say,
00:06:33.880now I know you like to be the kind of person who is open-minded.
00:06:39.280I know that you can see both sides where a lot of people can't.
00:06:44.240You're the kind of reasonable person who can change their mind
00:06:48.460in a situation where other people maybe couldn't.
00:06:52.080Now you see where I'm going with this.
00:06:53.780If you go after their identity and try to create an identity for them
00:06:58.000that they can rise to. They might do that. I would call this the Jesus technique. Jesus told you that,
00:07:05.820yes, you might be poor, wretched, unwashed, but you're kind of awesome. And if you follow me,
00:07:12.580you'll stay awesome. That's an identity play. It's the strongest persuasion outside of maybe fear.
00:07:19.400Might even be higher than fear in some cases. People do die for their identity.
00:07:23.380so might actually be the strongest form of persuasion so always identify if you've got
00:07:29.660somebody who's uh dealing from their identity not their reasons and if that's the problem
00:07:35.440work on their identity not the reasons you could do did that play through you guys
00:07:41.680it did yeah did it reloop or something um well like at the very beginning it started again
00:07:49.620so it like played for two seconds and then it started over but um and then it started from
00:07:54.720the beginning and played all the way through oh my goodness all right you guys so if i cut off
00:07:58.240anything i'm sorry i could not see it or hear it here so it was very strange sorry about that
00:08:03.340um so then owen i'm gonna like have you start with i love that micro lesson but tell me tell
00:08:10.340me um how yeah no i think it's a i think it's a great technique i think it is very true that when
00:08:16.140people are coming from a place of identity that they're not going to just be convinced out of it
00:08:20.780uh and i think um i've heard similar techniques like chase hughes has been doing a lot of podcasts
00:08:26.960recently and i've been listening to those because he's talking all about persuasion and how to
00:08:30.540manipulate people and different things how to know when people are lying and all sorts of different
00:08:34.140things i think he wrote some kind of book or something so but um you know he mentioned
00:08:39.520something similar he said you know if you give someone kind of a frame like that like i really
00:08:45.120like that you're this way or that you're this kind of person that all of a sudden they'll
00:08:49.260kind of conform to that expectation that you just set for them when they might not have otherwise
00:08:54.720and i think that's exactly what scott was describing was if you can essentially compliment
00:09:00.500them for being the way that you want them to be and obviously it has to be a positive thing you
00:09:05.200can't be like you know i like the fact that you're a nazi but um but you know if you can put it in a
0.58
00:09:11.340positive frame where they're like, yeah, that's who I want to be. Then all of a sudden it kind
00:09:16.260of like hijacks the rest of the persuasion stack. Like he, you know, we talked last time about the
00:09:20.580thoughts and words and beliefs and, or, you know, the different things that kind of cascade into
00:09:24.740actions. And I think this is one way of kind of hijacking that and saying, if you can subtly alter
00:09:30.180how someone looks at their identity, then you'll alter their behavior.
00:09:35.860Right. Okay. So Kyle, what was your take on that?
00:09:38.780Well, I like what Rambly Doug said. You know, you can't reason somebody into a position that they weren't reasoned into and to begin with. And just from my background, what it reminds me is the popularization of like identity politics from the early 1970s, literary theory, including like postmodernism, like, you know, Jacques Derrida and Michael Foucault.
00:10:02.460And basically what I think has gone on in the academia with the radical left is they have tried to convince people that we're no longer a human race.
00:10:12.380We're no longer universal. We don't have principles that apply equally to everyone.
00:10:17.780So like freedom, individual rights, the things that this country were found on don't apply because you belong to this group, this subgroup minority,
0.95
00:10:26.260whether you're black female or LGBTQ or trans or whatever, that you cannot read a piece of
0.91
00:10:34.680literature. And if that person doesn't represent you, then you can't understand them and they can't
00:10:39.940speak for you or vice versa. And I think this is one of the biggest cultural components of
00:10:47.360balkanization in this country. And for me, someone, I'm more of an enlightenment school guy.
00:10:53.360I believe that there are universal principles that apply to human beings because we have reason.
00:10:58.820So because we can talk together and that these principles cut across race, gender, we just need to respect each other as individual human beings.
00:11:09.220So I think like in terms of identity, we need to have a more powerful American identity that is inclusive of everyone, regardless of your background.
00:11:20.360We need to have a melting pot and not a chopped salad.
00:11:23.360not a very bad chop salad by the way uh not where everything fits together because we don't have
00:11:27.520the same values right yeah values that's what should hold us together as a nation
00:11:32.880not these different little that's such a good point and i feel like that's what gets lost
00:11:37.600sometimes when they're like oh you know we're welcoming of everybody and it's like no i'm not
00:11:42.800because you know if i went to uh what pick a country with my american values and they don't
00:11:50.400have them, tell me how that's going to work. You know, I'll be like, well, no, I have freedom of
00:11:54.580speech. And it's like, well, you don't hear. And well, I'm a woman. I can wear this in America.
00:11:59.340Well, you're not in America now and you're going to jail or we're going to beat you or worse.
0.96
00:12:04.300So I, I think it's important. Yeah. People have identities. Um, but if, if we could be a melting
00:12:10.920pot in our country, I'm speaking just for America, then, you know, assimilations, the word like,
00:12:17.440yeah our values are so important and i feel like a lot of times we lose our they were losing our
00:12:23.060values and you know they're like oh well you know like um this sounds might sound silly to some of
00:12:28.960you guys but they're just like all the time you'll see a show and then they're just like there's no
00:12:34.180black person on that show like why isn't there a black person on friends like because culturally
00:12:40.820a lot of us are different. And if you put me as a roommate, let's just say with five black people,
0.98
00:12:47.580we're not going to be the same. I'm not like, Hey, can we share hair products? Hey, like this
00:12:52.620is like our cult. I cannot dance the way some of them can dance. I have black friends. They laugh
0.96
00:12:58.820at me. You know, it's like, we're just different and it's okay. And we don't eat the same food.
00:13:03.680We're all Americans, but we're not like all the same. So I would like to embrace people's
00:13:12.800American cultural differences, but having the same values would be amazing as far as,
00:13:20.240yeah, go ahead, Kyle. So it's interesting to me where these values come from.
00:13:24.000The left likes to argue that we were just European white people. That's where it came from. And then
00:13:28.700they just dismiss everything. It doesn't apply to foreigners who come to this country. It doesn't
00:13:33.680apply to black americans it doesn't apply the enlightenment values came out of non-stop warfare
0.92
00:13:39.760religious warfare in europe the reformation the counter-reformation uh different sects of
00:13:45.760protestantism uh you know and so it came out of conflict for people different cultural identities
00:13:53.120different backgrounds different belief systems and it was kind of a truce you know the individual
00:13:58.160rights, you know, going back to even Magna Carta and everything. This was kind of truce in society
00:14:03.900where live and let live. And of course, there was a Christian culture that was the base,
00:14:09.780but there were a lot of sects. And, you know, when the settlers came to America, they didn't
00:14:15.500have the same religious background that, you know, there were, you know, Quakers and different
00:14:20.440sets of Protestantism. And there was a lot of, I mean, it was the sectarian strife is just as
00:14:27.460powerful as inter-religious strife. And so I think there's a lack of appreciation. The left
00:14:34.440likes to dismiss all this history, all of this philosophical background, and act like they're
00:14:38.820progressive. They're not progressive, they're regressive. They're going backwards. They're
00:14:43.080taking us back to the periods of identity-based strife that wreaked such havoc on Europe.
0.96
00:14:50.000So the founders were very appreciative of different cultures, different belief systems,
00:14:54.940different backgrounds uh even to the point where you know jefferson was talking about if you're an
00:14:59.740atheist that's fine uh you know in virginia uh you know declaration of rights they were debating
00:15:07.100different religions so i mean these these issues have been philosophically resolved in my mind
00:15:13.100how you deal with them and have a peaceful society just the left wants us to take us
00:15:17.340backwards to where we're at each other well and i totally agree that you know having shared values
00:15:22.940having shared culture is really important and i think that's one of the really insidious things
00:15:26.380about what the left did in the school systems that they essentially tried to get to our kids
00:15:31.520you know they tried to say okay we're going to teach them different values we're going to teach
00:15:35.060them you know that they're bad people and that whites are bad people or that you know there's
0.83
00:15:40.040all this intersectional grievances and all these wrongs that have to be somehow you know repaid or
00:15:47.040whatever and they it just it creates all this division and and unfortunately a lot of that
00:15:53.700whole philosophy is about division it's about how to get people to get into some identity
00:15:59.460that is very narrow you know you're not we're not just all people now we're men and women and those
00:16:05.100are different groups and then we're different races and those are different groups and then
00:16:08.580we're different sexual orientations and those are different groups and like you got to classify
00:16:13.280yourself into this little niche and then suddenly you're all in these different groups that are
00:16:17.700pitted against each other and um you know i think it is a very insidious thing that they did
00:16:23.880um to try and build that into the curriculum and they really went so far with it i i was surprised
00:16:29.840they got as far as they did i mean i'm glad that the trump administration has been reversing a lot
00:16:34.700of that but i think um but have it in like science classes and math classes and stuff where it had
00:16:40.980nothing to do with that. Like it wasn't even a relevant topic. And they would just introduce
00:16:45.300this stuff in there and say, okay, you've got to have this in every single class.
00:16:49.860Right. And it kind of reminds me of like the 1619 project that they brought up. I saw something
00:16:53.960that E.G. Karen said, and I'm kind of glad they brought up a counter argument that this country
00:16:57.900was founded for free whites. This isn't true. If you go back to the draft declaration of
0.99
00:17:03.780Independence by Jefferson, he decried the importation of slaves and they laid institutions
00:17:10.880to ban, eventually ban slaves imported to the United States. And there were a lot of,
00:17:17.280there was debate between the Northern colonies and Southern colonies. They had to come to
00:17:20.700the three fifths compromise, which would ultimately undermine the power of the Southern
00:17:25.360colonies. And so what I'm trying to say is the principles, the universal principles of individual
00:17:30.480rights that were established. Ultimately, they knew philosophically, culturally, this would
00:17:36.820undermine slavery eventually. It was just the reality of political power that if you were
00:17:42.520internally divided between the northern colonies and southern colonies, then the imperialist powers
00:17:46.900of Europe would be very predatory, would pull us apart. And whether it's the Spanish or the French
1.00
00:17:52.680or the British, they would just rip us apart. And they were determined to hold us together in the
1.00
00:17:57.720near term. And then they laid the foundations to ultimately undo slavery and the Europeans
0.99
00:18:02.540and their offshoots in the new world. They ultimately eradicated slavery when the rest
00:18:07.720of the world was still institutionalizing it and carrying it out. So we laid the basis for the end
00:18:12.280of slavery. They were the true progressives, not the Johnny come lately's that didn't shed any
00:18:16.880blood, didn't do anything appreciably to end slavery. It was the founders who laid the
00:18:22.300foundation to end slavery and uh the northerners who fought in the civil war to some extent i'm
00:18:27.980not going to overstate the case uh but ultimately ended slavery so we can't be revisionist about
00:18:34.100you know like the 1619 project that plants these seeds in people's minds it's not true
00:18:40.300no that's a shame that that that's that's where they wanted to take things i would also say like
00:18:46.260And, you know, that like in many cases, a lot of ugly things were fixed by technology or by new innovation.
00:18:58.620Like, you know, I know it was a tough transition probably for the South at the time because they were in this agricultural mode and they kind of depended on slave labor essentially to make it work.
00:19:08.640And I think that's really what it came down to.
00:19:10.840I'm guessing they didn't say, you know what, we really want to have some slaves just because we like having slaves.
00:19:15.000No, they needed somebody to pick the crops and to do whatever jobs they needed to do.
00:19:19.940And that was the only way they could do it, you know, affordably, at least within that context.
00:19:24.580And but then, you know, now we have all sorts of appliances that have eliminated a lot of the household labor.
00:19:30.040And we have machines that can do the farming.
00:19:32.260And we have, you know, unfortunately, a lot of illegal immigrants that are doing the farming.
1.00
00:19:35.660But, you know, there are alternatives now.
00:19:38.040And I think that's one thing that I think we need to recognize is that our innovation skill has brought about a lot of great human rights or great benefits to people and done away with a lot of these ugly things in the past just by enabling that through technology, through either machines or, you know, even just different business models like industrialization itself just gave people another way to make money, another type of business they could have.
00:20:06.300so it wasn't just all farming um and so i think you know that's to me that's a big shift over the
00:20:11.900course of the upper of our history yeah yeah to piggyback really briefly and i think ej karen
00:20:17.100brought up another good point uh just like equal treatment well the things that the left are are
00:20:24.060for undoes equal treatment so equity for example is about uh so uh identity-based revenge against
00:20:32.220uh different different groups and uh also this idea that there should be dei all of these things
00:20:39.260undermine equal treatment in society is just my simple you know rejoinder to that i i just think
00:20:45.020that it it causes never-ending social strife if equal treatment means equal treatment it doesn't
00:20:50.620mean this paternalistic thing that you know african americans or black americans aren't
00:20:54.540smart enough to get an id thank you right you're in how offensive yeah it's not inclusive you're
00:21:02.300right it's so offensive um okay well who knew that that little micro lesson would turn into a deep
00:21:09.260discussion that i'm sure we could have for the next seven hours because i know i could if i chime
00:21:13.900in but but there's news you guys all right so can we do my story first um thank you so i'm like so
00:21:24.460intrigued by this. And it's about all the scientists going missing that are linked to
00:21:31.440our top secret, top secret, top secret things. So I'm going to play this clip. Hopefully
00:21:37.000I'll be able to see it. This is Will Kane on Fox News. And let's talk about this after
00:21:43.280because I don't know, do you want a job in government doing top secret things? All right,
00:21:49.960let's say. There's a story that caught our attention. We're talking about a number of
00:21:55.620U.S. scientists, some connected to very sensitive research, who have died or disappeared. Let's
00:22:01.920break down what we know so far. We're going to start with Carl Grilmar. Carl Grilmar, pictured
00:22:08.720here, was an astrophysicist at Caltech. He worked on a NASA-supported space telescope project and
00:22:15.520infrared systems. Now, he was shot and killed at his home just two months ago. Then there's
00:22:22.140Frank Maywald. He was a senior scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, focused on advanced
00:22:27.360satellite systems, and he died nearly two years ago, but his cause of death has never been made
00:22:32.480public. Meanwhile, Monica Reza. Monica Reza also reportedly connected to NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab
0.84
00:22:38.500project. She went missing last summer while hiking in California. No trace. It keeps going.
00:22:44.960There's William McCaslin, a retired Air Force general. He too is missing. He's a former head
00:22:50.920of Air Force Research Lab and oversaw advanced space and surveillance programs. He's been missing
00:22:55.520since February. Reports say he once oversaw funding connected to a project that also included
00:23:02.480Monica Reza. Now, there's more to New Mexico. Melissa Casais. She has been missing since last
00:23:11.920summer. She worked at Los Alamos National Lab. She had an administrative role, but reportedly
00:23:17.280also had security clearances. Just months earlier that she went missing, so too did Anthony Chavez,
00:23:24.780also connected to Los Alamos, an engineer. He disappeared during a walk. No signs, no answers.
00:23:31.880And then finally, there's Nuno Lorero. You remember Nuno Lorero? He was the MIT researcher
00:23:36.140focused on nuclear fusion and was shot and killed in his Massachusetts home last December. It was
00:23:41.140the case of the Brown shooter. It's a separate case with no confirmed links to the others. But
00:23:45.600here's the key point. Authorities have not connected these cases, but look at the overlap.
00:23:50.640The same handful of institutions, NASA, Air Force Research, Los Alamos Laboratory. So could they be
00:23:58.800connected or is this something else entirely? Some say the bubbles in an aero truffle piece
00:24:04.460can take 34 seconds to melt in your mouth. Sometimes the very amount you're stuck at the
00:24:09.080same red light. Rich, creamy, chocolatey Aero truffle. Feel the Aero bubbles melt. It's mind
00:24:16.260bubbling. In communities across Canada, hourly Amazon employees earn an average of over $24.50
00:24:24.700an hour. Employees also have the opportunity to grow their skills and their paycheck by enrolling
00:24:31.020in free skills training programs for in-demand fields like software development and information
00:24:36.500technology. Learn more at aboutamazon.ca.
00:24:50.480It's Conspiracy Theory Friday, everybody. So I just think it's fascinating and we hear about this
00:25:00.200And it's just, doesn't it just seem too coincidental?
00:25:05.540So I just feel like these people are in these like top secret knowing positions and they
00:25:55.360i mean uh the navy and the air force they break out stuff every once in a while that gives you
00:25:59.360a little bit of a glimpse you know like the laser technology and all of this i'm just like wow um
00:26:04.720but i believe that all of the talk about the ufos i i am always extremely skeptical i guess it's
00:26:10.240it's hardwired into me like if this is a big distraction i think tim burchett
00:26:14.000said something recently about ufos like you know uh you have no idea yeah wait did you hear him
00:26:19.600Tim Burchett, he said he just saw information about the UFO. I'm going to say UFOs, you guys,
00:26:25.760okay? That's my lingo. And he said, I think if the public saw what I saw, that there would be
00:26:33.460mass hysteria. Yeah. And so Los Alamos is a little bit of a pattern connector here in my
00:26:40.340point of view. Los Alamos has a very sketchy background, and I'm putting that lightly.
00:26:47.220uh you know the people who are connected with it the way los alamos was founded and the secrecy
00:26:53.920around it uh it just it's it's really fascinating and uh you know so like these these scientists
00:27:00.480going missing i think you have a good hunch there that there could be some type of program
00:27:05.900involved and we'll hope for the best that you know they were there were witness protected out
00:27:11.180But ultimately, maybe somebody said they knew so much too much and they cannot just go out in society as too much of a loose end for them to just to be walking around, you know, Joe public, you know, regardless.
00:27:25.060And, you know, we'll hope they're in witness protection or some kind, some secret program.
00:27:29.860but uh you know yeah i know more concrete details about each particular case uh if there's any
00:27:37.300physical evidence that you know there was foul play involved that uh i think it's just a well
00:27:44.420that is suggestive for sure yeah and i've been have you guys been seeing owen all these videos
00:27:50.260now of like these like meteor looking things showing up everywhere there's lots of footage
00:27:55.460now people are seeing things. Um, and also, yes, I'm not suicidal and everything's allegedly
00:28:02.480okay, you guys. And it's all just my opinion. Okay. Um, I don't know anything, but it is kind
00:28:10.400of freaky when you see like Burschette saying that you see Matt Gates, you know, saying certain
00:28:16.240things. Was it, um, Bobert who said she saw some crazy stuff? I forget. Um, and I know who is it?
00:28:23.900um not nancy mace what's her name anna paulina luna she is like oh my god so i don't know owen
00:28:33.180don't i so you guys are both military right kyle you're oh your son is your son yeah and owen was
00:28:40.220in the military um so what do you think is happening well so the in terms of these deaths
00:28:47.660i think at least some of them are not you know a conspiracy i think that first case that he talked
00:28:52.860about i read it you know i saw the stories on that and i think that was some the person who
00:28:58.220shot him had some kind of grievance with the university or with that person or something and
00:29:02.220so i think there are explanations for some of these things and you know some disappearances
00:29:06.860do happen so it may be a coincidence but it does seem like a lot of you know a lot of related
00:29:11.740people are you know in this very little niche of science so i certainly could see that there is
00:29:19.180some pattern there and i would add some more connections to that like i was listening to
00:29:23.900the guy that does the y files on youtube and he was doing an interview with i think it was tucker
00:29:29.500carlson um and he was going through some of the other mysterious deaths or maybe not so mysterious
00:29:35.140deaths of some of these people that he mentioned that like there was some guy that had a deck of
00:29:40.720card size device that you could put 300 milliwatts into it and get as much power as you wanted out of
00:29:45.420it like and there was you know the more famous guy who had that water-based car that got poisoned
00:29:53.220and you know in all of these cases like all of their research was taken and has never been seen
00:29:59.480again all their devices everything was taken and I think there was another story he told about some
00:30:04.980guy that made a device that was again like this sort of free energy type of device that he was
00:30:11.100working with some kind of government physicist and he was able to do something and he was getting
00:30:15.840to working and it was working and um you know in that case i think he said it was like a toroid
00:30:20.680device like a kind of a donut shaped thing that but it was something that was generating lots of
00:30:24.620energy and um again that person either disappeared or was killed and then all his stuff was taken and
00:30:30.640it was just kind of wrapped up and i think there is the story that um i you know tesla wanted to
00:30:38.560have free energy through the air and jp morgan chase is like how do we meter that if it's going
00:30:42.320through the air where do i put the meter and um you know tesla was like confused like what do you
00:30:47.240mean like you know this is free energy for everybody and um so uh you know jp morgan shut
00:30:53.820him down and wouldn't fund the rest of his work and um apparently with this wi-fi person said that
00:31:00.340um there was some kind of law passed that basically says if we get any kind of technology
00:31:06.220if anybody develops any kind of technology that's like super efficient or super you know like free
00:31:11.060energy sort of thing that the government has now legal right to just confiscate it all and you're
00:31:17.500not allowed to talk about it and i think eric weinstein has talked about similar things that
00:31:22.680there are certain domains of technology that you know the physics might be out there where anybody
00:31:28.200who's a physicist in theory could figure out all those equations or you know go in that direction
00:31:33.020their research but if they do then apparently everything they do is now automatically classified
00:31:38.780and you're not allowed to talk about it well so it's interesting you know i just feel like
00:31:44.860maybe they just don't want too many people who know too much wandering around and so
00:31:52.940you know and unfortunately it wouldn't shock me if they were taken out some way
00:31:59.820however you want to say it. Um, I think that every country, unfortunately does things like this and
00:32:07.820it's, it's kind of unfathomable, but it's not unbelievable. Um, so we have to keep an eye on
00:32:13.200it and I've been talking and we've been bringing up the Y files so much lately. So if you guys
00:32:17.900don't know the podcast, the Y files, W H Y files, he does episodes, uh, I think it's called like
00:32:26.040in the basement or the basement where he does these like very long form interviews. And there
00:32:31.580are a lot of, a lot of subject matter similar to this. So I've heard now, and I'm going to move on
00:32:37.800from this subject. We're going to go to news in one second with Owen, but I've just heard things
00:32:41.700from like JD Vance saying that he thinks they're demons. One Y files, uh, episode that I mentioned
00:32:48.580a couple of weeks ago, the turned out to be more of like a spiritual God thing happening. Um,
00:32:55.820so there's all sorts of different theories you guys so let's keep our eye on it and um if you're
00:33:02.700one of these scientists knowing all with the security clearance just be careful always keep
00:33:08.780a buddy with you all right so we're gonna move on to newsy news and owen's gonna kick us off here
00:33:15.980and what do you want to start with owen well uh pam bondy is fired um i don't know if she's
00:33:23.180She's going to be somewhere else in the government, but she's no longer Attorney General.
0.97
00:33:26.660Todd Blanche is taking over, who was the personal lawyer for Trump.
00:33:29.720So he's definitely going to have a very loyal AG, at least temporarily.
00:33:33.100Wait, let's get a temperature check in the chat.
0.61
00:33:51.220But I think Todd Blanche specifically has denied that and said it was related to other stuff.
00:33:55.820And he seemed to be indicating that it was more maybe just like that there hadn't been charges against people like Comey and some of the other people that we all probably think should have been facing charges.
00:34:07.520But, you know, I don't know that we're ever going to find out exactly what was behind it, but that's what's happening.
00:34:12.500So Trump is shaking the box with his staff.
00:34:15.660And at the same time, Hegseth fired, I think it was two big army generals.
00:34:20.380And the rumor is that one of the army generals was fired because he refused to do a ground invasion in Iran, that they wanted to do this uranium operation where they were going to go get the uranium and that it was potentially going to require a really large number of troops, like maybe even like 100,000 troops or something.
00:34:37.180And apparently, I mean, I don't, you know, I don't know if this is true or not, but that's the rumor that's out there is that, you know, he may have refused to do that.
00:34:46.080And so now he's out and someone else is in charge.
00:34:50.060So we're seeing a lot of things shifting.
00:34:52.300There are a lot of rumors flying, you know, about other people like Kash Patel.
00:34:58.500And I don't know if any of those are substantiated or real, but it does seem like Trump is reaching a point where he's kind of fed up with a lot of the staff not doing enough or not doing the right thing.
00:35:07.180things and he's shaking the box for the rest of the term or maybe just so many opinions first of
00:35:13.400all like i'll just you know i'm just speaking for me i can't even believe he put pam bondy in to
00:35:18.420begin with um i don't know it's like a vibe thing for me she no disrespect i'm sure she's i'm like
00:35:27.180no disrespect but i feel like she's an idiot um and her her public facing persona is horrendous
1.00
00:35:35.940she cannot communicate she has the most um the worst voice for speaking like she sounds like
1.00
00:35:44.160she's just like lost in a bubble i don't know i have zero confidence in her i don't felt like
00:35:49.420she i don't i didn't feel like she represented the situations or the president well especially
00:35:54.880that last one when she was in congress and started talking about the stock market prices
00:35:59.800And I'm like, what, what is happening? So I'm glad, I am glad she is gone. And I don't know
00:36:06.380who he's going to put in long-term. I wouldn't hate it to be Harmeet Dillon or somebody like
00:36:11.740that. But, um, uh, and, and I'm also questioning, you know, so now what it's going to be like a
00:36:19.140Tulsi gap. Like, so I feel like he's now he's going to start picking on people that his true
00:36:25.960MAGA base liked, you know, like Tulsi did not, was not into war and this and that. And, you know,
00:36:32.820so now what he's, he's going to go after her. Joe Kent, I felt like had no choice, but to leave
00:36:39.280because of, you know, he has a conscience and, um, I don't know. So it kind of freaks me out.
00:36:44.680And then when you see Mark Levin, a man, I cannot stand in case anybody's curious,
00:36:50.280sorry not sorry um why is he why has he got his arm around the president and and having the
00:36:57.940president tweet like he's his daddy um he's disgusting and the way he's even talking about
00:37:04.240meghan kelly whatever your differences are with her grow up um and so the fact that that's who
00:37:10.100he's taking his cues from and not to mention lindsey graham and you know we could go on and
00:37:15.380on. So I think Trump needs somebody in his ear who is out here in the real world to remind him
00:37:23.860of what he promised and what he said he was going to do. And again, I don't hate Trump, you guys.
00:37:29.360I hate the people he's listening to. And I'm really disjointed about the people he's starting
00:37:36.100to diss and now maybe get rid of. So that's a big, big problem. And I'm glad that JD is finding
00:37:43.720a way to walk the line. And even that Trump admitted the other day, well, JD didn't love
00:37:49.160this idea. Good, good. Because I don't want to hear that JD all of a sudden is going to flip
00:37:56.800flop. So good, take care of Iran. Okay, you guys, I'm down with that. Let's take care of that once
1.00
00:38:02.900and for all. But Mark Levin standing next to him is a bad look. And Lindsey Graham's a bad look.
00:38:10.440I would just like to see Trump not be turned into this total political puppet that it seems
00:38:19.620like he's being turned into. And Kyle, I'll come over to you on this.
00:38:24.200Well, I'm glad Pam Bondi is out. The reason for that is simply because she didn't understand the
00:38:30.620assignment or she understood it and was working at cross purposes to it because what she should
00:38:36.380have done, it was within the first 60 days, hit the ground running. Any prosecutions, any cleanup
00:38:41.780that you wanted to do on aisle seven with all of the election interference, the lawfare,
00:38:47.000the corruption of our institutions, the weaponization of them that's been going on
00:38:51.340since Trump's first term, should have hammered them right off the bat just to send a message.
00:38:56.080Even if the prosecutions didn't lead ultimately to where you wanted to, you have to tell them,
00:39:00.480it's not okay we're not allowing this and so she seemed to have done way too much of limited
00:39:07.280hangouts on different types of cases uh smoke screens excuses she was on fox news all the time
00:39:14.160we're tired of listening to her all of this chit chat we're over it and uh so we needed to see
00:39:20.080prosecutions and the few that she was able to wrangle failed and they blew up in her face for
00:39:24.640various reasons they have to do with just legal expertise knowing how to work the system i mean
00:39:30.160I mean, Letitia James. Seemed to me you should be able to get that one. No, apparently not.
00:39:36.160Act Blue, that just came out in the news. That seems like a slam dunk case to me. We all know
00:39:40.540they're dirty as the day is long. They should have been able to bag a few of them.
00:40:41.580Of course, Congress should be helping with that.
00:40:44.220But we know that they're worthless and or compromised.
00:40:47.180And they apparently have no interest in cleaning up our judicial circuit.
00:40:50.900They would get given Trump recess appointments.
00:40:52.760They can't even, Thune can't even do that. So they're just running out the clock on justice. They're hoping we all forget. I don't forget. You know, that's why the symbol of the Republican Party is an elephant. But they seem to forget, ironically, about everything. I don't. They put our country through a nightmare.
00:41:12.320and i think just as somebody you know i mean i just turned 50. i grew up in the 80s where you
00:41:18.320didn't have this there was a little bit of partisan bickering but our institutions were
00:41:22.640pretty much intact but people who have um you know millennials and on they've lived in a country
00:41:28.320where they can assume election interference they can assume corruption of our institutions they can
00:41:33.280assume bias in in in universities and in the courts uh all the way down the line it's been
00:41:39.280havoc and upheaval. And what does that do to a country ultimately? I don't think any of these
1.00
00:41:46.040so-called leaders like Pam Bondi, do they get it? Do they get our country is on the brink and that
00:41:51.900our future generation is looking for justice? You have to tell them what that looks like.
00:41:56.480And it's like, she's not interested in that. So hopefully Blanche, I'm not looking for revenge.
00:42:02.400Nobody's looking for revenge. We want actual lawbreakers.
0.98
00:42:05.480justice held accountable that's it i mean i'm a vicious person um you know i'm not a partisan
00:42:12.680hack i you know i'm not i'm not loyal to any one politician it has nothing to do with any of that
00:42:17.560our institutions are under assault do they do they get it i i don't think so i know so when
00:42:23.000when we transition to the next story you guys i want to just just it doesn't matter who but
00:42:28.760drop in the chat who you would like to see to be the next ag i mean i'd like it to be you know
00:52:33.180I'm like, how twisted and malevolent do you have to be?
00:52:36.160And also the fact that this demented elf was meeting with the CIA off the books during this big cloud of suspicious around him working with the Wuhan land.
0.59
00:52:45.600and i don't know i don't want to go too much into this but the series of events leading up to this
00:52:50.520with the military parade and them and the ccp slash pla stockpiling masks for whatever reason
1.00
00:52:58.020they love masks in china they're like stockpiling them and so like there's a series event that's
00:53:03.560that suggested that right around the time where it happened they knew something was going to happen
00:53:08.320at this lab like they you know and then of course the people from the lab who were sick and it was
00:53:13.340all covered up and you know and the fact that there's a lack of justice for for all of that
00:53:18.940uh just makes me think well it's gonna happen again you know and and what are we gonna do that
00:53:24.560are we gonna gaslight the public again over this uh just to complete the picture like it you know
00:53:30.840fauci was also directly financially benefiting from all these things because he would engineer
00:53:34.300all these things where he would personally get royalties on a lot of these drugs so he was
00:53:37.940raking in the cash there was even laws that said like you know he didn't have to report how much
00:53:43.100was making on these things so that's all hidden and he he was already reported to be like the
00:53:48.700highest paid person in the whole federal government yeah he was so he was just raking in the cash left
00:53:53.500and right killing people in the process and just not caring about any of that and listening to
00:53:57.300people on tv i love dr fauci i'm like oh my god way through a huge monkey wrenching to our election
00:54:04.200and that there's an on on top of all of that of course and and think about i guess we needed to
00:54:09.760this today you know because here we're like ah but you know there's the linkage to olives right
00:54:16.000I mean she she failed to do anything about any of it right right it's so true talk to us right
00:54:24.800and so and also because of that whole scenario this is why we're so skeptical of everything so
00:54:31.580it's really it really does suck to be like well I don't even trust the drug like okay this is this
00:54:37.760is again just me talking honestly especially this is just my opinion for real okay but i'm like
00:54:45.440yeah believe me i thought about taking like a um a zep bound or a glp1 at one point and i'm like
00:54:51.760nope that's where they're gonna get the rest of everybody with that mrna i'm just like i don't
00:54:57.200trust anything like how do i know it's not in there everybody's like i want to lose weight i
00:55:01.200want to lose weight it's like well we'll get it into you one way or the other and you know i i'm
00:55:06.640not saying this happening but this is how i now think there are there are bad things coming out
00:55:11.600about a lot of these glp one drugs the latest one i saw was that it softens your bones great it's not
00:55:17.920osteoporosis but it's something like osteomast something and it basically means your bones get
00:55:22.320soft well that's not good no no there's a hundred problems with them right now but i was just like
00:55:30.400i mean i'm not going to say it doesn't work for anybody and i'm not even going to say that it
00:55:33.600might not even be worth it for a morbidly obese person to use it because you may be better off
00:55:37.500being thinner than dying of your morbid obesity but for normal people that just have you know
00:55:42.900five or ten pounds of weight like i don't think it's worth it because you're taking a lot of risk
00:55:47.000and um you know again there's all this industrial complex around it that's probably going to hide
00:55:52.620all that stuff so i would be very careful with any drug really but you know i mean my wife and
00:55:58.740i are both kind of skeptical of any drugs we're like we don't want to be on chronic drugs yeah
00:56:02.440that you know like statins would be the worst but you know there's lots of other examples where i'm
00:56:07.040like i'm not i'm never going to take that i don't care what a doctor tells me yeah i know blood
00:56:11.680it's another one which one cholesterol is overhyped like it's been overhyped as a problem
00:56:19.960there's a lot of mitigating i mean i'm not a doctor of course but no you're right though i
00:56:24.220mean i have a friend dr filivati who talks about this a lot that it's like he has a lot of heart
00:56:28.300patient heart attack sort of patients that have normal cholesterol. And he has plenty of healthy
00:56:33.980patients that don't, you know, don't wouldn't wouldn't show up on a blood test as having good
00:56:38.860cholesterol. And so I think it's a big misnomer, you know, big misinformation has been pushed out
00:56:44.940about that. Oh, my gosh, happy eye doc is like, why are statins the enemy? You guys, honestly,
00:56:51.260we need 18 hours for this show today, because the other thing, Eric, just like, when is Big Pharma
00:56:56.940ever cured anything they keep coming out with all of these like uh you know subscription drugs like
00:57:02.300you just sign up for them and you keep going and going on the subscription no no dudes just sign
00:57:07.340it and i think that actually links a little bit with the you know with the with the scientist
00:57:11.900thing that you were talking about um in a way it's just you know what you know with the energy
00:57:17.580the perpetual energy thing that you're talking about like anytime there's a there's a there's
00:57:21.980a commercial product and it's just you know an industry killer you never hear of it or people
00:57:27.980start you can't hear stuff yeah they'll either buy you out and then just kill it or they'll
00:57:33.020make you go away if you cured cancer you would you're signing your death sentence immediately
00:57:38.700because you cannot exist if you cure cancer because you're going to kill everybody's uh
0.88
00:57:43.820industry it's too it's too big um oh my god aren't we so you know happy and chipper
00:57:52.540it's like f it friday we just like went off the rails
00:57:55.660um but i felt like we needed to and and it's all because of you pam bondy no
00:58:02.780if matt gates was there this never would have happened um we've already forgotten about christy
00:58:07.740gnome and the whole bizarre oh yeah except you did show a photo last time i was on that was yeah
00:58:13.260that do you know what i had a i'm not even kidding i had a thing thought about this morning
00:58:18.540a dream about nipples last night and they were hairy nipples and i was like what the
00:58:24.780and i'm like oh christy gnome's husband i'm like sue gnome for like your shrink bills or something
00:58:31.340I was like, why was I dreaming about nipples?
