00:02:37.820 Oh, it goes, even Erica.
00:02:39.840 Yeah.

00:02:44.040 I'm like, let's go Erica.
00:02:47.160 Marcella, how was your weekend?

00:02:53.720 I watched certain things.
00:02:55.220 I did some hiking in the area because it's colder up in the mountains.
00:03:01.760 So that was good.
00:03:02.920 No rattlesnakes and no bear hunting me down.

00:04:19.460 um killed himself but the the there were two different people that tried to stop him

00:04:55.720 like an active shooter and then a good guy with a gun started shooting at him and some were saying
00:05:01.940 that it led the shooter to then take his own life um but anyway it's just crazy actually two good
00:05:09.520 guys with guns the one was captured on video the other one was a like i don't know a former cop or
00:05:16.080 a cop or something. And he actually was shooting too. So it's a second amendment. Yay. Second
00:05:27.480 amendment. All right. So that was my weekend. All right. My weekend was, it was great. It was
00:05:34.880 great. I'm not going to get into it. It was great, but all was good. So you guys, I was thinking,
00:05:41.680 Should we start the show off with the national anthem from now on?
00:05:45.360 Because I feel very inspired.
00:05:49.620 The account NotTheBee posted this and they just gave me the idea.
00:05:54.760 So did you know there's the first ever women's national baseball game just happened and the
00:06:02.060 national anthem was sung?
00:06:03.960 And listen, please excuse me now because I'm not playing the whole thing.
00:06:10.320 So I don't mean to cut off the national anthem, but you're going to beg me to.
00:06:13.800 But here's the national anthem.
00:06:15.980 Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
00:06:25.900 What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
00:06:35.040 Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
00:06:44.160 O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
00:06:53.020 And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
00:07:01.020 gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
00:07:11.020 Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
00:07:24.020 O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
00:07:37.640 I couldn't stop.
00:07:39.180 I never made it all the way through, and it just kept getting more incredible and more
00:07:43.220 incredible.
00:07:44.200 So should we do that like before every show?
00:07:49.860 Please no.
00:07:51.500 Please no.
00:07:54.020 Oh my gosh. Shades of Edith Bunker. Yes. Oh my God. You guys, I don't know what was happening
00:07:59.460 there. I don't know if they were mad at each other. I don't, I don't know what was going on,
00:08:04.760 but that was, that was amazing. Yeah. Roseanne bars was way better for sure. You guys are so
00:08:10.940 funny in the chat. Ooh, I just want to imagine that they actually even rehearsed that once.
00:08:16.440 Right. I, it almost seems like they were mad at each other at one point. Cause she's like,
00:08:22.220 i'm taking this note and then she's like i'm wrapping up the song fast at the end and then
00:08:27.120 the the two other chicks were like uh we can't compete i don't know that was amazing
00:08:31.580 oh my gosh all right so i had to i had to see it you had to see it you know i love sharing with you
00:08:37.580 guys and the other quick little thing i wanted to show you was a an update from victor david hansen
00:08:45.680 um and i want to know what you guys think after hang on i don't want to say it's been a privilege
00:08:52.060 of getting sick, but it's been a privilege because I was sick to read, I think I've got about 900
00:08:58.360 letters I read, and they were so nice, and it's really helped me. And I went to one of the doctors
00:09:04.900 this week, and he said, you're not coughing. I said, no, I'm not coughing. He said, well,
00:09:09.760 we're not out of the woods yet, but that's a good sign. And I said, well, I have all these
00:09:13.640 people praying for me, so I think it helped. It does. I don't think he believed that,
00:09:22.060 But I believe it, and that's what counts.
00:09:26.600 Amen, brother.
00:09:28.060 So I was just wondering, you know, I was talking about this with someone this weekend about, you know, the power of faith or prayer or however you want to look at it.
00:09:39.920 So, Owen, what do you think? And you guys in the chat. I mean, I think that when you have a group of people or just good energy focused your way, that it really can make a difference. I don't know how it does it or why, but I just feel like energy and positive energy that can take over. Do you agree with that, Owen?
00:10:03.540 Oh, yeah. I mean, I think that, you know, if you believe in God like I do, then you would have to say he has the power to heal just like Jesus did and all of that. But and so, you know, any spiritual connection you have would be a potential conduit to that for yourself or for praying for other people. And lots of people do that.
00:10:23.080 And but even science has shown that that works. The placebo effect is very well documented and it's very powerful. And so if you have a better attitude or you think you're being healed, it is going to be more likely that you would be healed. And there have been lots of unexplained healings that science is like, I don't know. I don't know how this happened. Like, this never happens. Like, I don't know what happened here. Your tumor's gone.
00:10:47.920 like you know it's just and you know i don't think it's something where like they've figured
00:10:52.760 out how they can replicate it as a procedure but i think i certainly think these things do happen
00:10:59.900 and it makes a difference yeah and and like b herm says it can't hurt marcella what do you think
00:11:07.220 no i i think it's possible i it also makes you like if if victor is now more positive then
00:11:16.300 He's going to have a more positive mindset, you know, so having people pray for you, be there for you, you're not lonely, you, you know, it creates something in your body that helps you heal.
00:11:30.440 I do follow, I don't know if you guys know him, Joe Spinoza, and he talks about meditation, how meditation can lead to like healing because he has studies in UCLA and UCSD, and it's studied how like somebody can like overcome a cancer by just being positive and healing and all of these things.
00:11:56.760 It's very, very rare. There's, there's, you know, he calls it the four minute mile,
00:12:01.140 which now I guess is three minutes from that guy. Um, but, but, you know, it's not as common,
00:12:07.680 but it can happen. So it's better to feel more positive than the negative. It's always going
00:12:13.380 to help. And visualization too. If my mom is listening, when I was sick, she.
00:12:17.280 Jill Dispenza, I'm sorry. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Um, my mom would tell me to visualize like,
00:12:23.300 almost like a Pac-Man game, like the little Pac-Man eating all the germs in my body. Or if I
00:12:28.920 had like a flu, like it's eating the flu and like just picturing it going away and picture healthy
00:12:33.960 cells. And I think anytime you can do that and get your mindset straight is good. So we're so happy
00:12:41.020 to hear that he doesn't have this cough. He's not out of the woods yet, but listen, he's still here
00:12:47.120 with us and he is a national treasure. I, I quite enjoy him. So keep healing VDH. We're all rooting
00:12:54.920 for you for sure. Lots of people here are praying for you. I saw it in the chat, which is so sweet.
00:12:59.620 You guys, that's really nice that you do that. Um, all right. So last night I was so upset
00:13:04.960 watching these fires in Spokane, Washington. We have family out there and luckily they are okay,
00:13:12.380 but i don't know i don't know if you guys heard about it or if you saw it but um let's just uh
00:13:19.100 you know the images are unbelievable let's take a look i have a couple of clips here
00:13:23.660 oh my god oh my god look at that street
00:13:31.400 holy shit dude look at this house oh my god they're all done dude
00:13:39.900 oh my god yeah fight your dude you gotta fight for your dude that one
00:13:45.900 house was just like caught on fire dude oh my god there's a guy on the roof
00:13:49.900 not with sir right now i can't help
00:13:52.380 oh rapey is dude that guy's fighting come on now oh you got see that right
00:13:59.500 It's floating gas lines, maybe.
00:14:06.900 Yeah, maybe.
00:14:07.620 God, dude.
00:14:08.620 We're over the street.
00:14:10.460 Goodbye.
00:14:11.880 Bye.
00:14:14.040 I know, dude.
00:14:15.140 It is horrible.
00:14:16.640 This is bad.
00:14:19.480 We're going.
00:14:20.080 You need to get out of here.
00:14:21.180 We're going.
00:14:23.360 Thanks.
00:14:25.840 He's like, yeah, okay.
00:14:27.120 So that was just one little neighborhood.
00:14:29.020 it's thousands and thousands of acres. I'm going to show you the aftermath. I just want to get
00:14:34.720 through the clips and then we'll talk about it. I mean, imagine like the whole neighborhood's just
00:14:54.380 gone. And again, that's just like on the ground, but someone did an aerial view and this is my
00:15:07.240 last clip. Um, it's amazing. And the, you know, I know Joel Pollack, like, thank God his house
00:15:14.240 was spared in the Palisades fire for the most part, but there's gotta be like a weird guilt
00:15:19.500 with that when like everybody else's is burned down and in this aerial view you really see
00:15:25.180 how it's just hit or miss but take a look at this
00:15:31.900 so you can see some houses are perfect thank god right and then the disaster all around
00:15:40.220 and um i know there's been a lot of people flipping out in some of the videos i saw because
00:15:46.140 there was no emergency response anywhere nobody putting out fires and um i don't know it's uh
00:15:55.260 scary to see so i just wanted to show the aftermath owen and marcella were you watching
00:16:02.620 any of this last night yeah i i was watching agenda free tv which like did a whole live for
00:16:09.180 hours but um the issue was that it was moving too fast with the wind um there was a lot of
00:16:16.540 helicopters you know to drop water down and everything else but it's just so fast uh with
00:16:23.580 so much to kindle but what really upset me you guys is that i don't know if it was the mayor of
00:16:29.740 spokane um i don't know it was one of the officials saying oh you know it's just things
00:16:35.820 just leave it behind it's just things we just gotta let it burn or whatever
00:16:40.160 and I'm like that's not I thought Spencer Pratt in my head I saw his face and all angry and stuff
00:16:48.280 I was like that's not that's not the point it's people's lives and and I'm sure the people had
00:16:54.800 pets in those houses you know hopefully everybody got out too yeah Owen were you tracking this at
00:17:02.040 all i wasn't paying a lot of attention to it just because i had a lot of things going on over the
00:17:06.280 weekend but it's it's a tragedy and it's terrible um i don't know if they know the cause of these
00:17:10.780 things yet i'm assuming it probably was mostly lightning strikes and things but um you know i
00:17:15.680 was kind of wondering if it might have bled down from canada somehow just because it's on the
00:17:20.280 border but i think these are independent well i was gonna say i don't know i just wanted to give
00:17:26.700 you. I did ask for some quick updates. So the three major fires being managed, the Old Trails
00:17:34.220 fire, more than 3,600 acres burned. The Autumn Lane fire was 3,300 acres burned and the Fairview
00:17:42.220 fire, 900 acres burned. So that's 7,700 acres burned. It was still reported at 0% containment
00:17:52.540 when I checked 20 minutes before we started the show, no fatalities or injuries have been
00:17:58.240 officially confirmed. At least 600 structures, including homes and businesses have been
00:18:03.740 destroyed. Approximately 60,000 people were ordered to evacuate. Um, so as of this morning,
00:18:12.440 you know, let's hope that there are no fatalities. Um, you know, we'll, we'll watch it as the day
00:18:18.880 goes by but i mean i just don't know what you do in that case and this is going to be interesting
00:18:24.780 to see how they manage this fire compared to what's happening in california which is absolutely
00:18:29.880 nothing um and now in la marcella it's water main break one after the other after the other
00:18:37.160 flooding and leaking and breaking and so like you guys already have an issue with water so let's see
00:18:41.840 if spokane can come back from this quicker um and people can rebuild it's it's quite a sight to see
00:18:51.120 i don't know what the you know environmental restrictions are and how it compares to
00:18:56.400 california i'm assuming it's a relatively liberal place so it might have some of that stuff but i'm
00:19:01.220 guessing no place is probably as bad as california as far as that stuff goes um so hopefully they'll
00:19:07.000 be able to rebuild more more quickly and hopefully they have better insurance conditions for those
00:19:11.900 sorts of things yeah because i know it's really hard to get fire insurance and it's really expensive
00:19:16.480 in california and i don't know what it's like in washington but uh hopefully though hopefully
00:19:21.560 they'll be able to recover um yes it says mid aside when i last looked zero percent containment
00:19:27.900 so i think it is still burning um but you know we'll check it out later today so you know again
00:19:35.620 like we said, can prayers help? Can positive thinking help? Let's hope so. And let's definitely
00:19:41.100 focus on these people out there. I mean, everywhere that there's disaster, but my God,
00:19:45.280 this is so devastating. And it's such a beautiful part of the country and you just hate to see stuff
00:19:51.720 like this. So let's all definitely send our prayers their way. Red Rock says Spokane is
00:19:59.100 relatively conservative, but the state is crazy. Okay. So that was our official update.
00:20:05.620 from uh red rock okay so you guys the next topic i wanted to move to and keep them in your prayers
00:20:12.360 you guys um so the democrats you know it looked to me i was trying to figure out how i wanted to
00:20:19.840 talk about the democratic socialists of america just doesn't even make sense but it looks to me
00:20:26.620 like they're going to really be losing a lot of their royalty their their royal democrats like
00:20:31.940 your Bill Maher's and your Carville's and your Joe Manchin's. And so I just wanted to play you
00:20:38.960 a couple of clips. Listen to Bill Maher the other night. And I know a lot of you don't love him,
00:20:45.860 but it is important to hear all sides, all parties, all demographics. Let's just hear
00:20:52.840 what Bill Maher is saying on Friday night. And finally, new old Donald Trump has told
00:20:58.300 one trillion lies but when he says the democratic socialists of america are actually communist
00:21:04.300 that's not one of them and it's not hard to prove it just by quoting the dsa and their candidates
00:21:10.940 davy vance was on the show and i told him that if the democratic party keeps going in the direction
00:21:16.700 of the dsa my vote was in play and all i heard all vacation was oh my god you're republican now
00:21:23.820 No, that's not what I said.
00:21:25.900 I said, in play.
00:21:27.700 And here's why.
00:21:28.960 Because not a week goes by where I don't read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party.
00:21:36.740 And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out.
00:21:44.680 Again, let's just read the quotes.
00:21:47.200 The DSA platform says, your work, you work as much as you are able and no more than needed.
00:21:53.040 If that was any closer to Karl Marx's dictum from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs, they'd be sued for plagiarism.
00:22:01.680 New York Mayor Mandani once tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly.
00:22:07.180 They're not trying to hide it.
00:22:09.200 Their most popular influencer, Hassan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy.
00:22:15.080 He laments the fall of the two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.
00:22:23.040 Mandami's aide, his top aide, Sia Weaver, said,
00:22:25.900 if you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.
00:22:30.840 And impoverish the white middle class.
00:22:34.340 What? That's a goal?
00:22:38.060 You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?
00:22:44.340 One of the new soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chevalier,
00:22:49.660 supports seizing all properties from landlords
00:22:52.940 and said, seize the means of production.
00:22:56.520 Mandami has said the end goal
00:22:58.460 is seizing the means of production.
00:23:01.420 I think they want to seize the means of production.
00:23:05.820 Now, maybe you missed that in school
00:23:07.860 or missed school altogether, but that's communism.
00:23:10.880 Now the coalition within the DSA
00:23:12.740 called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance,
00:23:15.900 and I must take them at their word
00:23:17.440 when their words include our commitment is to the long-term struggle
00:23:22.460 for a fully liberated, classless society, in a word, communism.
00:23:28.280 What do they have to do? Tweet out, elect more communists?
00:23:32.540 Oh, yeah, Sia Weaver did that.
00:23:35.740 Yes. Good, I'm glad you're shot.
00:23:41.040 People got to realize this is going on.
00:23:43.700 i love it i mean you know bill maher is he's pretty much a moderate democrat
00:23:53.000 you know one of the last holdouts too of being a moderate democrat um i i love that he laid it
00:24:00.120 out for people i don't think people understand what the dsa is about and what their goals are
00:24:04.520 and that it's not socialism it's communism and um the the other the next clip i wanted to play
00:24:12.320 And then, Marcella, I'm going to come to you first, is Mondani's little grocery store project in New York.
00:24:22.660 And listen carefully.
00:24:24.600 I love how when asked, how will you know who's getting these groceries?
00:24:29.860 How will you know they're New Yorkers?
00:24:31.720 I don't know.
00:24:32.660 Listen.
00:24:33.740 How are you going to keep people from taking advantage of that deal, basically?
00:24:39.280 and is there going to be a limit on the number of items that someone can take
00:24:42.920 that are discounted at that level from that essential basket?
00:24:45.640 So our RFP makes very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers
00:24:50.040 to be able to put food on the table,
00:24:51.820 not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through reselling.
00:24:54.960 I'm going to pass it over to our EDC head, G-PAC, to add some additional details.
00:25:00.000 Yes, if you look at our RFP for the operator,
00:25:02.260 we are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers,
00:25:06.200 whether it be at sort of a library card exit
00:25:07.960 it when and also we manage who's buying and it's and that is focused on everyday new yorkers so
00:25:14.220 we are mindful of that um and so we're going to make sure that we have all the place all the
00:25:18.980 things in place to make ensure that that does not happen marcella how do they prove someone's
00:25:24.460 from new york what would they need they need an id oh but isn't it isn't asking for an id
00:25:33.740 racist yeah are they being racist are they really going to turn away the homeless people that don't
00:25:40.420 have ids well you don't even have a home how are you supposed to even have a an id i don't know
00:25:48.120 i don't know and then women how are they supposed to have an idea if if most most women's um what
00:25:55.220 they wear they don't have pockets oh is that right their yoga pants don't have those pockets
00:26:00.040 no pockets oh okay but uh it's just amazing owen what do you you know like what are we doing
00:26:08.040 well i think it's you know clearly that for important things like shopping in the
00:26:14.260 communist grocery store you know you need id for that but not for voting i mean that's a totally
00:26:19.860 different thing and i like how she plays it off like you know library card-esque like she's trying
00:26:26.400 to make it like nothing much, just a little something, something. So I want to thank Vigilant
00:26:31.560 Fox for posting those. So, and Chief Nerd. So, but wait, I'm not done. Okay. Let's take a look.
00:26:40.300 When you ask Joe Manchin, what do you think about socialism? And by the way, it's, all right,
00:26:47.260 I don't want to say it's really mean. I might have to say it after, but Owen, I'm coming to
00:26:51.840 first after Joe Manchin. Heather, could you ever support a self-described socialist candidate?
00:26:58.060 No. No way. My God, no. Even if they have some good ideas? I support the good ideas,
00:27:04.060 but how could you support some of the crazy stuff they're for? Have you seen their platform?
00:27:07.820 They're for just dismantling everything that we know, whether it be the structure of government,
00:27:13.900 Congress itself, or the Senate they want to get rid of. And then they start talking about all
00:27:17.640 the crazy things no police know this know this know that are you crazy we want we want a crime
00:27:24.840 free area we have to have police for that yeah we want a strong defense we want a strong border
00:27:29.040 but if democrats can't say that and they start lining up with the socialist demands about what
00:27:34.180 you are to be a socialist energy will be gone there'll be no energy okay we have right now
00:27:39.160 a tremendous amount of energy we're producing and the world depends more on us than ever before
00:27:44.100 all right so i mean joe manchin obviously is super moderate um but he represents like i think
00:27:54.400 most people in the country that are still trying to be democrats right oh yeah i mean i think
00:28:01.040 there i think there is a significant percentage of the democrat party that is just like not really
00:28:06.560 aware of what's going on here you know a lot of us are all kind of always on x and seeing all this
00:28:11.060 stuff and getting it pushed to us with all these extremist things that are happening. But I think
00:28:15.400 that the most of the population never sees it because it doesn't go down the, you know, the
00:28:19.900 normal media channels. Like, you know, they don't really cover a lot of that. And probably on
00:28:23.300 purpose, they don't want people to get upset about it. But I think for anyone who is aware of it,
00:28:28.760 it certainly seems alarming when you hear these things. And, you know, I think we should be
00:28:34.060 pushing this. And I know Newt Gingrich says we should be taking advantage of this and talking
00:28:38.380 about all the, you know, big government socialism that they're pushing on that side. And it does
00:28:42.680 seem alarming to me that a lot of the, like, more mainstream, or I don't even want to call
00:28:49.320 them mainstream, but the more well-known Democrat leaders seem to be trying to cater to these
00:28:55.080 people. Like, they want to include them and be aligned with them and allow for these things.
00:29:02.580 And I think it's the wrong approach. I think they should be shutting these people out and
00:29:07.960 shutting them down. And I think to an extent, it has sort of snuck up on them with these primaries
00:29:13.560 that they weren't expecting any of this to happen. And then all of a sudden, establishment
00:29:17.720 candidates are being forced out by these radical DSA candidates. And now they're panicking, I think,
00:29:23.660 and saying, oh, what do we do? How do we either regain control or how do we work with these
00:29:28.640 people? And it may be too late for them to totally shut it down because they have kind of a critical
00:29:34.940 massive support within the Democrat side, especially with younger people that have
00:29:40.960 been indoctrinated their whole lives to this socialist way of thinking. And so I think they're
00:29:46.420 in trouble. And my hope is that it would mean a lot more Republicans would get elected. But
00:29:51.300 I'm sure it's probably going to be some combination of that, plus some of these DSA
00:29:55.500 candidates are going to get elected. And we do have a number of races around where you have
00:30:00.280 these radical candidates running you know you have things in california michigan wisconsin where
00:30:05.920 there's kind of toss-up races for some of these things where the left has a really radical
00:30:10.480 candidate running so i think it's unfortunately probably going to happen more where you're going
00:30:15.360 to have candidates like mandami that end up getting elected and we're going to have to deal

00:31:18.240 oh hungry oh henry um i fully agree and marcella i mean it it's pretty lame when you have
00:31:29.280 timu obama in there and you've got crying chuck schumer and all these other people that are
00:31:35.680 afraid of these loudmouth commies um you know what are you doing like you're afraid of these people
00:31:43.760 like you have to overpower them and mock them and embarrass them and shame them just because
00:31:50.380 they're the loud mouth doesn't mean they have to be the only voice anyone hears but um this is what
00:31:56.540 happens you know like i mean if you could watch chuck schumer from when he first got in to now
00:32:02.760 and like how he has twisted himself into a pretzel six ways to sunday as he likes to say
00:32:08.240 and has turned into like a adjacent communist now, you know, just to get along for what to
00:32:14.980 keep power because of what blackmail or money. Um, and they're just like, okay, we'll just watch
00:32:21.380 the country slip away that they're just the biggest bunch of, I can't think of another word
00:32:28.800 for, I don't want to say it, but babies. Um, what do you think about, about what they're doing?
00:32:35.900 i don't think they're afraid of them i i just think they have um they go with whatever the
00:32:43.640 flow is it just seems like the type of democrat politician not all of them but there are some
00:32:49.340 that will just do whatever is popular um if you want to do that i'll say this you know in order
00:32:57.100 to get votes and giving free stuff like i think trump said um that he would be the greatest
00:33:03.600 something like a while ago he said i'll be the greatest communist there ever because it's so easy
00:33:09.280 to be that because all you need to say is i'll give you free stuff come here you know it's kind
00:33:14.500 of like high school election i'll give you a free pizza and vote for me that's what it basically
00:33:19.600 amounts to and and they just want to go with the flow they don't want to go against it they don't
00:33:26.020 want to they don't like conflict i don't think and they just are like well it'll pass it's the
00:33:31.240 young people know once you go commie you can't really go back unless you shoot yourself out of
00:33:37.920 it unfortunately so maybe yeah um i mean there were so so many clips i could have pulled in here
00:33:46.420 today um i mean nate friedman's doing god work god's work on the street he's like another nick
00:33:52.600 shirley interviewing people and and taking things to light i really i love to do like a nate friedman
00:33:59.000 day and Nick Shirley day. I know everyone's going to say, get them in here, get them in here,
00:34:02.940 but just understand we don't really need to get them in here. I say that because we have so much
00:34:08.440 of their material that we can play and there's so much more effective if they're out there doing
00:34:12.720 the thing they're doing. So like we want them to have their time and rest when they can rest and
00:34:17.440 get out there when they can get out there and we can promote them right here. Um, and then maybe
00:34:22.140 one day things will calm down and we can ask them to come in. So not everybody needs to come in. I
00:34:27.760 I know it would be fun, but it's like if we were limited on material, I would totally get it.
00:34:33.120 But let me just play.
00:34:34.320 I have one last clip of Bill Maher because lizard man James Carville is not happy either.
00:34:40.520 So let's take a last listen and then we're moving on to something else.
00:34:45.100 Yeah.
00:34:45.460 Carville said, I'm done.
00:34:47.100 I'm not in that fucking political party.
00:34:49.680 Now, Gavin Newsom disagrees.
00:34:52.080 He says he's good with it because the party is a big tent.
00:34:55.180 Well, you know what else you find in a tent?
00:34:56.840 clowns it's so funny so many liberals shit themselves every time trump puts gold on
00:35:06.180 something in the oval office oh it's historic and the separation of powers isn't
00:35:13.820 get your head out of your ass i would vote for sarah palin before this shit
00:35:19.320 so i'm just saying i don't think he's voting democrat this go around because i
00:35:27.700 can't imagine a pivot big enough to persuade him to do so owen um i'm really i'm really loving
00:35:34.820 this bill maher go around i i'm enjoying that he's getting his voice out there i think this
00:35:40.500 is a symptom in my mind of the lack of bench that the democrats had they just had no good candidates
00:35:45.880 They didn't have anybody strong that could take charge of the party. They left it in the hands of Kamala, who has done nothing since losing. And they don't really have a second. Who's next? Buttigieg? There's nobody that would be appealing to the country to lead that. Hakeem Jeffries is not doing it.
00:36:05.440 like it just they don't have anybody strong and i think the the dsa has kind of filled this void
00:36:11.380 or this vacuum to say hey we can you know get people riled up and get people excited and get
00:36:16.960 you know try and talk to people's issues um because unfortunately you know a lot of people
00:36:22.000 are suffering they're they're having a hard time with affordability they're thinking they are never
00:36:26.080 going to achieve the american dream and so that's when socialism and communism sounds good to people
00:36:30.240 because you start thinking well if the system isn't going to take care of me or give you the
00:36:34.060 opportunities to achieve what they said I would be able to achieve, then maybe I should try this
00:36:38.600 other system. And, you know, I think unfortunately it's a lot of people who just don't know the
00:36:42.800 history and don't understand that it delivers the exact opposite of what you're expecting.
00:36:47.820 And it ends up with an authoritarian state where you lose all your individual rights,
00:36:53.020 you lose all your freedoms and probably millions of people end up dying. And then you end up with
00:36:59.180 a tyrant running things for a while until it's eventually overthrown. But like it's a horrible
00:37:04.180 outcome and it doesn't deliver anything that these people are imagining it's going to deliver. I mean,
00:37:08.560 they seem to be thinking it's just, oh, I'm going to get my free stuff. I'm going to get a house.
00:37:11.780 I'm going to get free health care. I'm going to get all this stuff. And they just don't understand
00:37:16.160 that that would never happen. And it would just be that they would dismantle everything and we
00:37:20.880 would end up with chaos. I was listening to Michael Malice, friend of the show,
00:37:26.540 interview Sour Patch Lids. Lydia, she used to be on Tim Pool years ago. But she said something,
00:37:34.240 and I was like, maybe there's a lot of truth to that too. The younger people have never had to
00:37:38.620 go through any hardships that socialism or communism would bring. They never really had
00:37:45.260 to go through war, famine. They always have an abundance of everything they need. They don't
00:37:50.900 understand what it means to go without. We live in a society where everything's
00:37:56.140 like push button given to you. So it all sounds like good to go, but, but have they had any real
00:38:02.360 struggles? Maybe not. So I think it could be some of that too. Um, and then of course you want to
00:38:08.020 be in the in crowd in your colleges and your social circles. And if that's the loudest voice
00:38:13.740 you see screaming, you're like, shoot, I better join them and, you know, not be the outcast. Um,
00:38:19.520 do you think there's any credibility to that, Marcella? Cause it's a lot of young people.
00:38:24.240 For sure. There's credibility to that. But I would say what comes the chicken or the egg, what comes first, you know, I really think it's the indoctrination of the schools since you're in elementary teaching you to share.
00:38:41.960 Marcella, why aren't you sharing?
00:38:45.460 I would always get in trouble, you guys.
00:38:47.760 You want to be like, it's mine. And they're like, you can't say it's yours. You're like, but I built it.
00:38:50.620 it's the property of the proletariat how dare you i was like you know they they're teaching
00:38:56.940 animal farm they're teaching 1984 but they're teaching in a different different light so
00:39:03.080 years and years of education in that light and then talking to you about how your parents might
00:39:10.400 be wrong and all these things and you know kids rebel and all sorts of things and it leads to
00:39:15.820 And, you know, at the end of the day, you don't have to live through it to know that it doesn't work.
00:39:23.280 I mean, you have a lot of examples.
00:39:25.400 For example, Cuba, just yesterday, it's, you know, it's completely plummeted into darkness because now it doesn't have that power.
00:39:33.320 Because guess what?
00:39:35.000 You can, when communism starts, you have the rich, you have products that you can give free out to people.
00:39:42.340 But eventually you won't have anything left, you know.
00:39:45.820 um wealth doesn't grow on a in a bank um it grows by work and all sorts of trade and all that thing
00:39:54.420 so they don't understand how they think oh he's rich therefore i must take from him no he's rich
00:40:01.420 because he's created that and that's how he got that wealth so eventually it gets um because a
00:40:07.240 lot of people are saying that the supermarkets that he uh that mandami is putting um on will
00:40:13.800 work yeah they might work because they're paid by seven million dollars of taxpayer money but that
00:40:21.320 taxpayer money will run out if you have this running forever and you have a democratic which
00:40:28.040 is now you see venezuela now you see cuba i don't know do you think that they really have to live
00:40:35.400 through it to know the truth i mean no other generation has had to do that so yeah i maybe
00:40:42.040 they're just so far removed from the generations that did. I don't know. Like we had our grandparents
00:40:46.660 telling us things and they don't. So I don't know. I mean, we should talk to our kids more about
00:40:55.300 the reality. Like not everything has to be rainbows and sunshine, which I think is a problem.
00:41:02.260 And also, I was just going to tell you something about that. Anyway, I lost my train of thought,
00:41:05.880 But, you know, we'll see we'll see what shakes out. But the schools definitely freak me out. And someone brought up the teachers unions in the chat. Yeah. Randy Weingarten's a problem. She's a big, big problem. Like, why is she so political? And by the way, why is she still there? Like, why is she have this like eternal position?
00:41:28.600 I mean, she's been in Democrat politics way before she got into the teachers union.
00:41:34.480 So you guys should know she's she's been around since like the 70s as a political figure.
00:41:39.740 It's very strange to me.
00:41:41.240 And I would love to see someone do like one of those really good, like Mike Cernovich deep dives into Randy Weingarten.
00:41:48.600 We need like a Candace Owens deep dive into Randy Weingarten.
00:41:52.340 So she learns her whole genealogy.
00:41:54.220 I'd love to know.
00:41:56.240 So if you know, you know.
00:41:57.520 anyway so i'm gonna move on from there but um i cannot not play this clip because i feel like
00:42:05.500 rfkj is like the last based member of this administration right now when he went on with
00:42:11.500 dana bash oh this was so good i mean oh she's so annoying like watch this woman's true colors come
00:42:20.220 out and the fact that she wants to pretend she's any kind of honest broker is hilarious
00:42:27.060 so let's take a look and then Owen you're going to respond first here we go okay do you want to
00:42:32.520 talk about you want to talk about assertions that you can't support I'll get there in a second
00:42:36.200 let me just say for the record that I am not saying that the entire way that the COVID
00:42:41.860 reaction was accurate it was a scary time and people made mistakes absolutely you were scaring
00:42:49.200 people why are you saying that because that was the job of CNN okay was to put the chyron's up
00:42:56.020 about how many people are we were trying to be we were listening to the leaders in this country
00:43:02.240 including the president who had a daily press conference explaining what was going on and
00:43:07.100 trying to listen were you listen i want to talk to these actually were you reading the measles
00:43:11.700 yourself the measles cases in the u.s just reached a 35-year high the second uh
00:43:18.340 that was the wrong clip shoot owen you saw the original clip right i'm gonna go grab it while
00:43:26.880 you talk if you can do it yeah well i mean i think the whole thing was just um it was great
00:43:32.420 the way he shut her down and called her out i think it's just you know she's disgusting and
00:43:38.300 not willing to take any accountability for what cnn did i mean all of us saw it every day you'd
00:43:43.140 have the here's the death count and they would talk about how it's all trump's fault and how
00:43:47.400 Trump is causing all these people to die. And they were, they were scaring people. They were
00:43:51.760 just telling people, you know, this is a horrible disease. You're all going to die. You've got to
00:43:57.040 shut down. You've got to stay home. You've got to mask. You've got to vaccinate. You've got to do
00:44:01.000 all these things. And they did absolutely nothing to calm people down. Scott did, you know, a hundred
00:44:06.000 times as much to help calm people down. And I think it was all about the response, all about
00:44:13.320 the reaction um i i'm not disputing or denying that there there was a serious you know disease
00:44:20.440 out there that did kill a lot of people but and i frankly hold fauci responsible for a lot of that
00:44:26.000 i think at the same time when you look back at it after all of this it was essentially especially
00:44:32.780 later on no different than a flu and yet they treated it like the whole world was coming to an
00:44:38.580 and yeah we needed to treat it that way like it was an end of the world sort of scenario and
00:44:44.180 people like dana bash played a big role in that and they they did play their role the way the
00:44:49.060 government wanted them to and she kind of admitted it a little bit she's like well i was listening to
00:44:52.740 the leaders i was listening to the you know but she was basically just saying i know my job i'm
00:44:58.540 gonna go do it and i'm gonna scare people and try and get them to do what the government wants them
00:45:02.940 to do and how about when he started talking she's like stop just stop i'm like oh my god are you
00:45:07.700 kidding me right now but i think this is the right clip pray for me that this is it but yeah you were
00:45:12.980 saying you were part of the problem no i wasn't it was absolute press malpractice you weren't
00:45:20.720 allowing your secretary your job your job is a fierce skepticism toward authority and you weren't
00:45:28.000 doing that you i am my job is also dissenting no okay are you gonna you want to sit here and attack
00:45:34.500 me or do you want to have conversations about public health i'm not attacking you i'm asking
00:45:38.740 questions about how to let me use the question and i'll tell you that's what i'm trying to do
00:45:43.420 but i also don't want to use this interview to allow you to say things that aren't entirely true
00:45:51.060 but oh it's still the wrong clip but owen gave you that i mean oh my god this interview is going
00:45:56.760 to be legendary i tried guys i tried um so marcella i mean we can't you guys you can't
00:46:03.160 I don't want to say hate.
00:46:04.260 I'll say hate for me,
00:46:05.200 but you cannot dislike these people enough.
00:46:09.960 And the fact that she can sit there and be like,
00:46:13.420 yeah, we had a death tracker going.
00:46:15.560 We lied.
00:46:16.720 We just did whatever we were told.
00:46:18.720 Nothing made sense.
00:46:19.880 And she's going to sit there and like tell him to pipe down
00:46:22.720 and that she did a good job.

00:47:25.160 It's clear that they didn't want any accountability for any of that.
00:47:27.940 They just don't want to call out themselves.
00:47:30.080 they don't want to even say that they made mistakes even then even when she said earlier that
00:47:33.940 mistakes were made it was like it wasn't that she made any mistakes it was other people made
00:47:38.000 mistakes like it it's disgusting sorry go ahead marcella yeah i mean it i guess it depends on
00:47:44.860 what um rfk jr wanted to do in that interview because people will never usually admit they
00:47:51.020 were wrong if you're like telling them hey it was your fault um but i think it's good that he's
00:47:57.820 he's letting them know, I know who you are. I know what you caused. Um, and I know where it went,
00:48:04.700 but most of the time when you do say that to people, they will not go, Oh yeah, I was wrong.
00:48:10.860 You know, it's hard for people to, uh, admit to these things, you know? Um, but it, it happened
00:48:19.660 and they did wrong. So now they should admit to it, um, as a channel, you know, the fact that
00:48:26.520 they did all these things, but they will, there was, I saw somewhere a report about how, you know,
00:48:33.900 the Fauci diary came out, the notes or something. And a lot of these major networks did not report
00:48:40.980 on it because they don't want to report on this, these things that Fauci said during that time,
00:48:51.000 because they don't want to admit to it you know it is what it is i'm i i liked his energy i like
00:48:58.860 the fact that he wasn't going to uh just let her you know bs people you know what i don't like is
00:49:07.980 that he clearly you know has that spasmodic dysphonia that he's working on it is getting
00:49:15.120 better but i don't like when people overpower him like that vocally because they know it's hard for
00:49:21.280 him to like like just you don't have to talk over him let him talk and you know she just was like
00:49:27.040 so emotionally invested that she would like was personally feeling attacked you know like shut up
00:49:33.340 and let him talk i can't stand that plus i can't stand her and whatever but um all right so
00:49:40.420 also i don't think he was attacking her i think he was attacking the channel i mean literally
00:49:46.040 dana bash is not all of cnn i think she is but she thinks she is i guess yeah i just don't like
00:49:53.380 that but um all right so also i was listening to a micro podcast this morning and he had on
00:50:01.320 a doctor who was saying you know remember the the death counter for covid and he said you know
00:50:06.720 here's the thing. That was half of the amount of people that die from heart disease as like,
00:50:13.460 so like double it. And that's what heart disease deaths were and always are. And he's like, so
00:50:18.820 it's just amazing. Like what people want to highlight, what kind of fear they want to give
00:50:22.820 you. But they were like, if you had like the heart disease tracker up there, you'd be like,
00:50:26.340 holy cow, like we got to get our shit together. So don't, and don't forget that they shut down
00:50:30.760 all the hospitals and they were laying off doctors and nurses and people because they
00:50:35.240 weren't allowing any of the normal procedures for things like heart disease. So who knows how much
00:50:39.540 worse a lot of those things got because people weren't going to their checkups or going to their
00:50:43.220 procedures. And they were just ignoring all that. They were just saying everything else stops and
00:50:48.180 we're only going to focus on this one thing. And they were on one hand saying the hospitals are
00:50:52.820 going to be overwhelmed. And on the other hand, the hospitals were like going bankrupt because
00:50:56.360 they didn't have enough money coming in. It was just like a weird time. Yeah, it was a weird time.
00:51:02.760 it still is people that died of cancer because they weren't able like possibly they would have
00:51:08.300 died eventually but it was so fast his cancer went by so fast because um i asked him like this
00:51:15.820 is a judge that i knew and he couldn't get treatment um because they told him to treat at
00:51:21.740 home i was like you cannot treat at home this and they're like he can't go to the hospital
00:51:27.240 He couldn't go check. A lot of people were like that. They were unable either to check whether
00:51:34.480 they had cancer or to treat their cancer. Yeah. I had a friend who got diagnosed with
00:51:40.640 an incurable cancer during COVID. They were just like, just don't get COVID and blah, blah, blah.
00:51:49.380 They put so much fear in her on top of the fact that she was going to die. The last year of her
00:51:56.580 life, she saw none of us and she was just like alone. She was with her family member, but none
00:52:03.120 of us could go see her because she was like, I can't, you know, they were like, don't get sick
00:52:07.780 and my immune system. And it was like, you're going to die. And now like, we can't even see
00:52:11.960 you in your last year. And, um, you know, we saw her the day before she died basically to say
00:52:17.420 goodbye. And I was just like, this is such a sick, sick time. And also she never wanted the COVID
00:52:23.260 vaccine. She just didn't want it. And like, they made her get the COVID vaccine. It's like, leave
00:52:27.840 her alone. Like, you know, let people have some say in their life, but they did it. And I could
00:52:32.480 tell you, I could tell you 15 stories like that of people I know that were, where I had like a very
00:52:40.520 like firsthand personal experience with at least 15 people who went through something completely
00:52:46.600 tremendous during COVID and some died and some were very ill. And I mean, we can never, ever
00:52:54.700 let this happen again. And people lost their businesses, people lost their jobs, people had
00:52:59.640 their whole lives ruined by this. And, you know, I do want to hold people like Fauci and Dana Bash
00:53:05.940 accountable for the roles they played in this. But I do think it was somewhat of a failure of
00:53:09.920 all of us. I posted a story with somebody's opinion about that, but they were telling their
00:53:14.180 story about how they've lost all their businesses. And, you know, it was just their whole life was
00:53:17.920 just ruined by this. And, you know, they were asking the question, like, is anyone going to
00:53:22.440 ever say they were sorry for any of this? Like, I would love to hear it.
00:53:27.420 And, and, you know, and they pointed out, they're like, you know, they said, like, you know, yes,
00:53:32.720 Fauci is, you know, responsible for some of this, but it really was a failure of the whole country.
00:53:37.520 Like, people complied, people just went along with it, people didn't stand up to it and say,
00:53:42.180 we're not going to do all this. And so I think that hopefully will be the lesson we'll learn
00:53:46.780 is that we can't do this again. We can't go down the same path again. We can't let them scare us
00:53:51.620 into compliance and just, you know, go along with whatever they say, because clearly they don't
00:53:57.260 really know the science. They don't really follow the science. They just have their own agenda
00:54:01.160 and we can't trust them. We can't trust what they're telling us. I wish we could.
00:54:06.420 And I understand there may be a scenario in the future where there is some,
00:54:09.760 you know, really bad virus that's like almost 100% fatality rate stuff, then maybe that is a
00:54:16.100 different scenario. But I, you know, I think even in that scenario, I wouldn't trust the government
00:54:21.640 to have us go down the right path. I wouldn't trust the government for anything ever. Again,
00:54:28.060 I don't trust my doctors. I don't trust, I mean, I have a low trust level anyway for people, but
00:54:33.380 I mean, it's so much worse now. And like, I'm looking at everybody's comments and seeing,
00:54:38.760 the different things that happened to you guys or your friends. And yeah, another very close friend
00:54:44.180 who was in that same friend circle, they owned a very prosperous restaurant for years and years
00:54:51.800 and years, gone. And it's just like, oh, well, that's just gone now. So many businesses. And I
00:55:01.060 have to say, there was so much ingenuity also amongst the local communities. I mean, people
00:55:07.220 got very creative about like how we can get around this and get around that. And then outdoor dining
00:55:12.560 became huge everywhere. So we have a lot more outdoor dining now where I live, which is nice.
00:55:18.100 You know, restaurants that were shuttered, they were just like, listen, we'll sell stuff that we
00:55:23.360 have here. We have like cases of toilet paper and paper towels and who needs a bottle of wine. And
00:55:28.320 they were just like, you know, order it here on Facebook and drive up and pick it up. And I was
00:55:32.440 like, you know what? I do like the ingenuity part of it, but man, oh man, never again.
00:55:38.720 I'm going to pivot. And I just want to quick do this story. We only have five minutes.
00:55:44.880 And it's about the idea of getting rid of these illegal immigrant truck drivers that are killing
00:55:52.060 people all over the country and having freedom haulers, which are our veterans who have already
00:55:59.320 driven equipment everywhere and they know how to drive big things and do things. And how about
00:56:04.760 they become our next group of haulers? So here's the ad that, um, uh, secretary Duffy,
00:56:12.900 I almost forgot what his name was. Sorry. Secretary Duffy, uh, of transportation put out.
00:56:16.800 And I, I just love this. So this goes again with our like micro thoughts. So I want to play this
00:56:21.960 ad for you guys. And if you know someone in the military or you are yourself, and this is a great
00:56:27.300 idea so let's take a listen are you a veteran and not an illegal alien did you drive things like
00:56:35.440 this or this maybe even this you drove the toughest roads on earth defending our freedoms
00:56:42.720 stick around why not get paid to drive on ours you show me a pay stub for 72 000 i quit my job
00:56:48.700 right now how about six figures become a freedom hauler do you ever think about that i like it
00:56:54.400 We like it, too.
00:56:55.360 It's a real blessing.
00:56:56.580 And we're blowing up fraud.
00:56:59.880 We want you on the front lines.
00:57:02.120 Your road.
00:57:03.060 Your rules.
00:57:04.280 Make your own hours.
00:57:05.240 Your schedule.
00:57:06.280 You sure about that?
00:57:07.840 Oh, we're sure.
00:57:09.180 Keep talking.
00:57:10.140 Did I mention medical benefits and sign-on bonuses?
00:57:12.720 Training costs are completely covered for veterans.
00:57:15.280 Because our heroes treat safety like a mission and rack up more miles doing it.
00:57:18.780 Best part?
00:57:19.400 You'll be on the road in a few weeks.
00:57:20.680 It's happening.
00:57:21.620 Everybody stay calm.
00:57:22.480 What are you waiting for?
00:57:23.260 You can do it!
00:57:24.400 Your next mission deploys now.
00:57:35.060 Okay, so just another option.
00:57:37.460 Like, let's keep all the options out there and get people employed.
00:57:41.000 I love this idea for our veterans.
00:57:43.340 They can make a great, great living, too, hauling.
00:57:46.860 So, Owen, do you love it?
00:57:49.240 Yeah, let's go.
00:57:49.980 I mean, again, I don't know how the numbers work out in terms of how many people like that are looking for that kind of job and how many people they need.
00:57:57.480 But whatever we can do to put people to work, if that's something they want to do, I think it's great.
00:58:03.880 I can tell you. Let me see. I pulled up some stats.
00:58:07.080 More than 40,000 veterans have already used their existing military skills test.
00:58:12.300 So Freedom Haulers is largely an expansion and publicity push around programs that already existed.
00:58:18.960 uh truck driving jobs currently average around 70 000 annually according to the transportation
00:58:25.660 department um and also they can be exempt from like certain tests and qualifications because
00:58:35.840 of their experience already so it's like a fast track to move them through to getting their
00:58:40.600 cdl and then being able to drive um and i just love our truck driver i love all the blue collar
00:58:47.500 manly man things marcella do you think this is great i i mean i think it's great that that
00:58:54.800 veterans are doing truck calling or anything that they want to do if they want to become an attorney
00:59:00.520 next to me that would be great uh but i i don't like when government gets involved in uh the
00:59:08.520 economy i just don't like it that's how much i don't like communism um but i the the thing about
00:59:15.580 this is like the reason that some of these companies hire the illegal immigrant drivers
00:59:21.260 is because they're a lot cheaper possibly I'm guessing than your veteran so I think again
00:59:28.760 enforcement of the law where are they being arrested you know hopefully there's more
00:59:36.040 enforcement of that and the employer should face some kind of you know if it's illegal to hire
00:59:42.860 illegal immigrants then they should face some kind of you know fine or issue because that's
00:59:49.620 the thing they're just gonna the veterans are gonna be great drivers and everything else but
00:59:54.960 if they're not cheaper than these other people then they might not get the job so i would like
01:00:00.860 enforcement to be part of this you know okay i feel so not opposite but i'm just like uh they're
01:00:09.020 cheaper until they murder a family that's driving and crash the rig and bankrupt the company because
01:00:16.500 some illegal hack doesn't know how to read. So I like this because the veterans are part of the
01:00:25.640 government and so the government can fast track them. So I do like this for that. Yes, and they
01:00:32.240 can, of course, become anything they want. But a lot of veterans come out and they don't know what
01:00:36.140 to do. They're young. They're, they don't have a direction that they want to go in. And it's like,
01:00:41.020 look, here's, here's a direction you can go right in. You're filling a need. You're making a good
01:00:45.800 salary. And the companies that do the, the placement for this, they were all in, they're
01:00:52.720 all like, yeah, let's go, let's get them through and get them jobs. So I think, um, they're working
01:00:57.820 hand in hand with the industry. So I see it as a, uh, positive, positive, and we'll see how it
01:01:05.500 goes. I mean, let's see how it shakes out. Owen, any thoughts left on that? No, I think it's just,
01:01:12.240 you know, I'm all for it. I agree in general that I don't like the government interfering
01:01:17.380 with industry and setting the rules. But I think with this particular one, they've always been
01:01:21.740 regulating what are the rules. And obviously, you do need to have some safety rules around
01:01:26.620 who's allowed to drive these big rigs because they're dangerous and you need to make sure
01:01:30.440 they're qualified so i'm okay with that and i think it sounds to me like the people who have
01:01:35.660 the experience in the military driving big rigs and things should be generally qualified so i'm
01:01:41.480 okay with sort of relaxing the rules a little bit obviously we'll have to see how that goes
01:01:45.240 but i think um you know again i'd rather have someone who can speak english and who has military
01:01:51.240 experience behind that wheel than some illegal immigrant who doesn't understand even what the
01:01:55.640 roadside say yeah and i can understand where marcella's point of view comes from and um i
01:02:01.260 don't know i just i i just i want to just cry when i see all of these accidents that are happening
01:02:06.580 it's so it's so sad um all right so you guys we're at time we're at time all right you guys
01:02:12.960 should we stay listen if you want to stay in here in akira song stay i saw someone the other day

01:03:27.400 does anyone drop in one in the truck driver you guys you could did we just do low self-esteem
01:03:34.760 i promise i'll add more today let's do low self-esteem sean loves you up close shocking
01:03:39.880 what is this one low self-esteem is like a
01:03:49.640 low self-esteem is like a virus like a virus you catch it from you catch it
01:04:03.980 Oh, I skipped. Sorry.
01:04:06.080 It's a remix.
01:04:09.660 Low self-esteem
01:04:10.780 is like a virus.
01:04:16.380 You catch it
01:04:17.760 from other people.
01:04:21.680 You didn't get your low self-esteem
01:04:24.020 necessarily
01:04:25.700 because you were born with it.
01:04:28.060 There's got to be a genetic component here.
01:04:33.980 But mostly it comes from narcissists who have their own broken self-esteem, and they want you to have a broken self-esteem, and if you don't have it, they're going to give it to you.
01:04:47.100 You catch it from other people, and you can get rid of it, just like you can get rid of it.
