- 0:01This is HBr News number four oh six, Nashville Convenants school shooting update,
- 0:07Are women more Depressed than Men? Where we discussed the news of the week
- 0:11and give it the Badger treatment. Hello, everybody, Welcome on Honey Badger
- 0:18Radio. My name is Brian. I am joined by as always, my
- 0:21austere patriarchs and our handmaiden that is Hannah, Mike Jay, and doctor Randmercamp.
- 0:26Today on the HBr News Show, we're gonna be discussing more hoes Man
- 0:30of the week or host sad of the week because we're talking about depression.
- 0:35We're gonna be talking about the new sort of like the most recent news regarding
- 0:41the trans Nashville shooter. Some updates regarding the cash app founder Bob Lee who
- 0:48was murdered. We covered that a couple of weeks ago. Depression rates apparently
- 0:54are spiking amongst women and more so, please stick around because it's gonna be
- 0:59a good time. If we have time. I have a bonus story that
- 1:02I learned about. It's not anything big, but if we if we have
- 1:07time, and the and the sausages and long isn't too long, I'll mention
- 1:11it at the very end. So hopefully we'll get to that point. Um.
- 1:15So anyways, before we get started, please hit that like button because
- 1:21if you guys smash like it right at the beginning, then more people will
- 1:26be more likely to see us, at least according to what YouTube supposedly does
- 1:30with the algorithm. But who knows? All right, so, and oh
- 1:34and also don't forget to join us on the patron Only Show. Become a
- 1:38member so that you can do that on today's patron Only show. I also
- 1:42have another piece of well, it's not news, it's like an opinion piece
- 1:46from a website called the gamer dot com, which essentially asked the question,
- 1:53what does it even mean for GTA to go woke? So you real brief
- 1:57you guys might know rock Star They have a very successful franchise of video games
- 2:02called Grand Theft Auto, and they're working on the sixth installment, and we
- 2:07don't know much about it. At least I don't know much about it except
- 2:10that the protagonist is a woman this time, which has not been done in
- 2:15previous GTA games. Not entirely true, right if you count me online?
- 2:21No, But I mean, unless there's something else I don't know about.
- 2:24They're there are two intact are there are two protagonists in the new game you
- 2:28switch off. They're like a Bonnie and Clyde duel woman. Okay, well,
- 2:31okay, that that makes sense. But so they're one of the protagonists's
- 2:38female and like a spicy Latina character. And I guess, and again I
- 2:42don't know much about GTA six, um, but I guess people are are
- 2:46complaining or something right that it might be going the way of Saints Row.
- 2:51And we'll we'll see what the gamer dot com has to say about it.
- 2:54They seem to be generally um against people having opinions on these on whatever's happening
- 3:02with GTA. But I would actually make the argument, and we can do
- 3:07this in the after show when we talk about this story that Rockstar has been
- 3:12like into some degree kind of woke from the beginning, since all of their
- 3:16games are satirizing America. And I think that um Red Dead Redemption two is
- 3:23especially so in that way. But it depends on I guess, you know,
- 3:28how you would define it. Not that that bothers me. I frankly
- 3:31don't care, you know, UM, I have my own other issues with
- 3:36the GTA franchise that are that that it's just kind of repetitive and hasn't really,
- 3:42in my opinion, grown that much over over time. So on Brian,
- 3:46wasn't the seventh the rerelease of GTA five the universally agreed to be the
- 3:51best. See, I mean I never played five, Like, maybe this
- 3:55is unfair, but the only GTA game I got into that I bought was
- 4:00four, And I know a lot of people say it was like the most
- 4:02rounded, very polarizing. Yeah it was because it wasn't as like over the
- 4:08top as San Andreas or Vice City or even the you know three, but
- 4:13and I did you know? Four was fine? But again like um uh
- 4:17just unremarkable unless you like bowling with Roman a lot. You know, I'm
- 4:23going to the or going to the strip bar um. But anyway, we'll
- 4:29find out what six has to offer. Maybe there are changes on the way.
- 4:31Maybe it will you know, go against it's it's uh whatever you know
- 4:36it's known for. But we'll see in the patrons. So if you want
- 4:40to join us on the patron only show, you have to become a Badger

- 5:57our sort of Badgery Badger superchat that I'm going to read out and then we'll
- 6:01get into today's story. So maintaining frame commenter, So this was yesterday,
- 6:06but after the show was over, it was like in the middle. It
- 6:10was in the early early morning hours, gave us five dollars and says,
- 6:15in response to Allison's small comment about men being more neatonous when it comes to
- 6:19play, that's right, women only learn how to be boring. And then
- 6:23he has an angry face. All right, thank you for that. Maintaining
- 6:27frame commenter for commenting on maintaining frame. And then Meredith ge just gave us
- 6:32five dollars and says, HBr News four oh six, honey for the Badgers.
- 6:35I'm going to have to dip out early for listening because I have to
- 6:39log back into work. Have a good show. Well, thank you,
- 6:42Meredith, really appreciate it. Okay, So now that all of that's out
- 6:46of the way, let's get into today's stories. And we're gonna start with
- 6:49the Nashville shooting. So I think, Mike J you did that one right,
- 6:55I indeed did, Yes, you did. So lawyers are representing the
- 7:01families of children attending Nashville's Covenant School want to block the release of the manifesto
- 7:11of the shooter who attacked them last March. The attorney Eric Osborne argues that
- 7:17quote writings like this tend to inspire additional school shootings. Joining the parents are
- 7:26representatives for the Covenant School and church who also wish to block the release of
- 7:31the manifesto, claiming it could further endanger the students and faculty. On the
- 7:39other side of the case, attorney Rob Harvey, who is representing a local
- 7:43media outlet, calls the blocking of the manifesto unprecedented, stating what happened that
- 7:49day, it's a tragedy, but it doesn't mean that everyone at the school
- 7:54is a victim. To expand on that a little more, what he's trying
- 7:59to say is the parents of the children who were there aren't, as set,
- 8:05aren't necessarily victims, and as again, according to the law, weren't
- 8:09victims and therefore don't have any real grounds to try to attempt to block this.
- 8:16Well, it sort of depends on what the manifesto says and who the
- 8:20murderer was attempting to victimize on a collective basis, But I guess we'll never
- 8:26know. Another attorney on the same side, Doug Pierce, who's representing the
- 8:31National Police Association, agrees with Harvey and states that the parents need to know
- 8:39what is in the manifesto if they wish to block it. Court Judge Latia
- 8:45Miles will be given her decision by Wednesday, so that's tomorrow on whether she
- 8:50believes the parents in Church's motion to intervene can go forward. I know,
- 8:56I know, I'm probably among the last people to this out in the last
- 9:01couple of months of news cycles. But yeah, as and when there is
- 9:05the slightest hint of a mass murderer having any recorded inclinations, even fabricated inclinations
- 9:13towards being a white supremacist or an in cell or anything vaguely right wing,
- 9:20this information somehow makes its way past the courts, past any of the wishes
- 9:26or preferences of the families of the victims, and it's plastered across the mainstream
- 9:31media before the bodies are even cold, especially the very same mainstream media outlets
- 9:37who would ostensibly claim that the last thing in the world they want to do
- 9:39is encourage right wing violence, but by the logic outlined there, it's exactly
- 9:46what they're doing. It's especially given that the world is already as overrun with
- 9:50white supremacists in cells as they say it is, but it obviously isn't.
- 9:56They're lying, and they know they're lying about that, but they need to
- 10:01take every hand rubbing, mouthwatering opportunity they can to demonize everything to the right
- 10:07of Stalin, because that's the only way to normalize where they are. I
- 10:13eat somewhere so far to the left of Stalin, then it's off the fucking
- 10:16chart. So this is bullshit. It's not about avoiding copycat killers or avoiding
- 10:22any potential in endangering of the students or faculty. What they don't want to
- 10:28endanger is the ideology in question, the activist movement that drove this person to
- 10:35these murders, as outlined in their manifesto, as we can pretty much take
- 10:39us red at this point. So by burying this manifesto, the only people
- 10:46they're protecting are the copycat killers themselves, who most definitely do exist because they
- 10:52know, of course, they know as much as everyone else knows. If
- 10:56the motives of the murderer were pro white or pro male, or pro Christian
- 11:03or pro cisgendered we would all have heard about them by now. We've heard
- 11:07about them eight weeks ago. So not only are they protecting the copycat killers,
- 11:13they are actively encouraging them in exactly the way they claim not to be
- 11:20so. Any other broken, brainwashed suicidal cultists who fancy contributing to a cisgendered
- 11:28genocide could go ahead and do so while committing suicide by cop just to kill
- 11:33two birds with one stone, along with several children, and they can put
- 11:39the crippling fear of God into everyone who believes in him, while their precious
- 11:46woke community will never be blamed for it. As a matter of fact,
- 11:50they will only be protected and celebrated for it, as they were in Tennessee
- 11:54within a few days, even though everyone knows it is the fault of this
- 12:01woke community for want of a much better word, So every time it gets
- 12:05worse, the response is to make it even worse. It's not just accelerationism,
- 12:11it's it's accelerated accelerationism exponentialism, Like at what fucking speed? If we
- 12:20actually want to discourage violence, the message should be accelerationism doesn't work. Yeah,
- 12:28but the message we're getting from the woke media and the acophobic legal system
- 12:33is leftist. Accelerationism absolutely does work because we will do everything in our power
- 12:43to make it work. And I don't know how much wrong we they can
- 12:46get away with it, possibly forever. It depends to tell everyone's dead.
- 12:52It's a murder suicide cult that won't stop until everyone is in a threaded pile
- 12:56of bodies on the floor with a belly full of poison. Cool a save
- 13:01yourselves, folks, get some guns, get some chickens, get off the
- 13:05grid. I'll see you in Heaven's skates. Whichever comes. It really depends.
- 13:11I guess on UM how the how the the families approached this, and
- 13:16how the UM defense in this case if there is a if there's a legal
- 13:22battle, UM, I guess there would have to be some media outlet that
- 13:28wants the the manifesto going up against those parents. If they're just seeking to
- 13:35block this and the only entity that would be defending it is the local department
- 13:43or the local government, there may not even be a fight. So then
- 13:46in that case, then yeah, they'll they'll block it from UM being released
- 13:50because they'll they'll collaborate unless they want something about the school to be released.
- 13:58And I kind of respect. That's part of the problem. There's probably something
- 14:03you know, that has gone on at that school, either some some degree
- 14:09of dysfunction, like there's been allegations of the school failing to deal with some
- 14:18problems that the student had. Um, I've seen a couple of different allegations
- 14:22of bullying. I've seen a few different allegations of sexual misconduct, and so
- 14:30there's there's that they may be trying to protect the school against public allegations of
- 14:35sexual misconduct. But in the meantime, if there are media outlets that are
- 14:41trying to get this manifesto and there is actually a legal battle, they're going
- 14:46to have to prove that it's not a First Amendment violation to keep you know,
- 14:52the media from having that information and disseminating that information. UM, that
- 14:58it's it's not an attack on the press. That seems like something that would
- 15:05be kind of hinky. They would have to they'd have to prove that they
- 15:09were not denying the press information that is in the public interest, and they'd
- 15:15have to prove that it's not in the public interest to know why this attack
- 15:18happened. And I don't I don't think anybody can prove that that it's not
- 15:22in the public interest. So that's going to be a difficult one. The
- 15:26other thing is how far it goes, you know, like if there is
- 15:28a legal battle and not just rubber stamping, and whoever wants to publish that
- 15:37manifesto or report on the manifesto is willing to they can take it because they
- 15:45can sue as a First Amendment freedom of the press issue, they could take
- 15:50that all the way to Supreme Court. So we may see a result on
- 15:54this very quickly, or we may see this may take a couple of years
- 15:58to lay out, and um, the ruling may may determine whether or not
- 16:07the government has allowed local or federal to withhold information about the causes behind a
- 16:15major event that you know, might be in the public interest to know and
- 16:22and withhold that from the media. Um. So that's this could be a
- 16:26big story. This could be something where it's we're hearing about it like it's
- 16:32a legal battle, but actually it's already said and done. Possibly. I
- 16:37was thinking that, like from what I heard from some accounts is that their
- 16:45their their concern is for you know, personal information, um, related to
- 16:51the families and you know, of the of the victims because some of the
- 16:56victims were miners. And I was thinking, well, I mean, and
- 17:00they could block just release, redact personal information and can redact. Yeah,
- 17:04they could. But at the same time, that's from saying like the it's
- 17:07it's not the families that are against it, it's the lawyers, so um
- 17:12that I don't like their Their claim is that if they put it out there,
- 17:17it's gonna inspire more school shootings. And I think that's not that's not
- 17:22a an issue that should be used to silence any kind of media. Like
- 17:30if if somebody's behaving behaving badly, somebody else behaving badly is a reason to
- 17:36take away your rights, Ye, well we could just say good bye to
- 17:38all of our rights. Like there's people are going to behave badly all the
- 17:41time. No, I get it, I get it. I guess what
- 17:45I'm saying is is that, like I don't know that what they're trying to
- 17:51do is cover their ass from some kind of like malfeasance or misbehavior. I
- 17:56think this is about, uh, you know, preventing this happening in the
- 18:02future. But but but here's the thing, doesn't it suggest just by the
- 18:07desire to block the release that there is something damning in it that like sort
- 18:15of like um that it sort of like confirms or at least like makes it
- 18:21look like this shooting was not random. It wasn't just some emotional outburst.
- 18:26It was you know, premeditated. It was directed at a specific group of
- 18:30people for a specific reason, and likely because they're Christians. Like but likely
- 18:36that's what it is, and that's what I'm guessing one of the reasons.
- 18:40I don't know if this has been Like I read this article that was it
- 18:45was like a piece that was written by the husband of one of the victims,
- 18:49one of the women that was killed in the shooting, and he said
- 18:53that, So there's the school, and connected to the school is a cathedral,
- 18:57and supposedly the shooter shot out at seven times this stain glass window that
- 19:06had Adam from Adam and Eve on it. So she shoots, she blew
- 19:11out a stain glass window that pictures the first man, and that was the
- 19:15thing that got my attention before she went in to shoot at the students.
- 19:21So there is something symbolic that appears to have happened. Again, I can't
- 19:26confirm it, because maybe the manifesto would tell us more but I don't think
- 19:30that you would do that, like as an accident, especially the same window
- 19:36seven times according to husband of the woman who was killed. You know,
- 19:40I would I want to know. I want to know more about the student's
- 19:45record at the school herself, because she was a student. She obviously was
- 19:51an adult at the time of the shooting, but she had been a student
- 19:53at that school yeah years ago though, like she was like twenty or something.
- 19:59Yeah, I think that would be relevant, you know, yeah,
- 20:03maybe if they don't release her manifesto, maybe the media should start digging into,
- 20:11you know, what was what what was her experience as a student at
- 20:15that school, like, because that's something that they should they should be wondering
- 20:21about. Like if I was a reporter covering this story, if I was
- 20:23a local reporter covering this story, I would be asking questions about that,
- 20:29especially after the community was publishing allegations, you know, the community UM I'll
- 20:37say the rainbow called UM as opposed to the LGBT community because they're not the
- 20:45same. But the rainbow called posting allegations. And I think if a reporter
- 20:52is honestly covering this story, they would have to investigate those allegations. You'd
- 20:57want to be able to report whether that was absolute bullshit or whether there was
- 21:03something to that. And uh, you know, like with students, we
- 21:08know, for instance, that it can really fuck up a boy if a
- 21:12teacher does something like that. Um, so yeah, it's reasonable to assume
- 21:21it would also fuck up a girl. And with the current political situation and
- 21:26the politics the politicization of trans issues and gender identity issues and stuff, it's
- 21:37very possible that you know, some somebody did fuck up this girl as a
- 21:42kid, and um, that is why she ended up like this. Yeah,
- 21:49so I like it's it's I don't want to put all the eggs in
- 21:53the idea that the Manifesto is gonna be specifically condemning of one group of people.
- 22:00Um, not that I haven't got my suspicions, I do. You
- 22:04know, it's quite likely that it is. But there may be more going
- 22:10on to this than just one thing, and there may be more being protected
- 22:19than just one thing. Maybe, And it's it's what go ahead. It's
- 22:26worth going back to first principles to some degree, they're kind of right in
- 22:32principle. This is what people have been warning us about ever since Columbine,
- 22:37ever since before Columbine. Like, whenever a mass shooting or any sort of
- 22:41massively heinous crime like this happens, the best advice you can give the media
- 22:48is don't make these people famous because then you because because then you you're showing
- 22:53everyone else. Here is a perfect avenue to become famous even after death the
- 23:00people. You know, a lot of people really really like the idea of
- 23:03being famous even after the death. That's why those massive pyramids exist. And
- 23:10so yeah, that's this is a generally good principle. But people aren't holding
- 23:14to it. Yeah, well, and I mean not everybody who's who wants
- 23:18to be famous goes out and shoots up a school. You have to have
- 23:22other factors in place too. This is not the route to becoming famous.
- 23:27It is a disturbed person's consideration of a route to become famous. Like they
- 23:33they they're going to assume they'll become famous this way and they don't mind dying
- 23:37for it, and it might not even beat the goal most of the time,
- 23:41you know. Um, So like I don't. I don't believe in
- 23:45the idea of just um withholding information to avoid copycats because I think it protects
- 23:55the people who really should have something like this coming, or really should have
- 24:02done better for that kid before before they grew up to do something like this
- 24:07against criticism for failing to properly mentor the kid. And in this day and
- 24:15age, it's it's pretty difficult to keep that cat in the bag. Now,
- 24:19in the age of social media where even you know, the closest friends
- 24:25of of whoever the killer was, know who that person was. They have
- 24:29social media. All their friends had social media, all their enemies had social
- 24:33media, and there were some conversations posted online shortly afterwards. I'm not sure
- 24:40how reliable they were, but um, she posts. He posted something on
- 24:47the lines of I'm going to die tonight, I'm probably going to be on
- 24:48the news tomorrow. Again. I don't know if it was real, but
- 24:52you know, whoever they whoever they are, they certainly must have had a
- 24:56social media. It would be unusual if they didn't, because almost everyone has
- 25:02social media these days, and even without social media, like you look at,
- 25:07um, the histories of school shooters and mass shooters, a lot of
- 25:14times, you can look back at their interactions with people there their lack of
- 25:22socialization, you know, things like that where they had disturbing behaviors before they
- 25:30got to the point of mass violence. Yeah, so like some somewhere along
- 25:34line, somebody failed to identify that, hey, this this person is demonstrating
- 25:41tendencies toward violence. They're demonstrating tendencies toward maybe inappropriate anger or something like that,
- 25:48and didn't do anything about it. And and that's a big problem in
- 25:52schools to begin with, Like they they kind of shuffle kids off to you
- 25:57know, pass it on to another teacher, passed them on to the next
- 26:03class, put them in and detention, expel them, but they don't they
- 26:10don't do anything about the behavior. And when it comes to like a demonstration
- 26:18of a mental health condition or demonstration of a way of thinking and a way
- 26:23of engaging with other people that implies a tendency to word violence, like they
- 26:29don't. There doesn't seem to be a sufficient response to that. And I
- 26:37think parents a lot of times don't want to believe there's anything wrong with their
- 26:40kid, so they don't get meant, they don't get the mental health help
- 26:44they need. And like, we don't know exactly what happened in this case,
- 26:48but like I said, I think there's probably a lot more nuance to
- 26:51this than just parents not wanting the manifesto released because you know, Rainbow Cult.
- 26:59I think they're I think there's probably some people who failed this person when
- 27:04she was a kid that don't want it to come out that they failed to
- 27:10do what the adults in her life should have done for her. Go ahead,
- 27:15Mike, I've got some interesting thoughts here. Um, the most charitable
- 27:23take I have on the on them trying to get the whole thing redacted.
- 27:27Maybe it's a big ask and they'll settle for Okay, we don't want the
- 27:34entire thing block. We just want to be able to, you know,
- 27:37apply some zebra pain, if you know what I mean, and remove some
- 27:42things so that that that that's what they're gonna settle for. But that's what
- 27:45they wanted in the beginning, possibly now bumping it out a little bit to
- 27:51the macro. I still find it very funny that we still don't have access
- 27:55to this manifesto and it keeps balancing between I guess, depending on what you're
- 28:00talking to, either this is just the ramblings of a mad person or possibly
- 28:07the most dangerous document we've we've seen since, uh since mind Camp, which
- 28:14I guess is also technically the ramblings of a mad person depending on who you
- 28:17ask. Yeah, I mean, like the Mexican Nazis manifesto came out right
- 28:23away, right, let's see that that. That's the other thing I wanted
- 28:26to like kind of circle back to a point that Mike made earlier, which
- 28:30was, yeah, when it's when it's in one direction. We seem to
- 28:33have all of the information overnight. Yeah, you know, we we have.
- 28:38We know exactly their ideology. We we've tracked down every social media post
- 28:44they made to this very obscure Russian blog with zero views. But on these
- 28:52ones, you know, it's just I don't know, I don't know.
- 28:53It's all yeah, who knows? Uh? And and if in case you
- 28:57haven't heard apparently where we're all so getting a bunch of information. I don't
- 29:00know if you guys heard about this last night. They're saying that someone rented
- 29:06a U haul and crashed it into the White House gates. Yeah yeah,
- 29:11yeah, yeah, and oh he had a he had a he had a
- 29:15Nazi flag in there too. Because you know, when I like to go
- 29:18commit my hate crimes, you know, I make sure to carry all of
- 29:21my hate crime paraphernalia with me, just so the arresting officers know exactly what
- 29:25I was doing and why, and yeah, fucking Si Varshath Kandula, I
- 29:32promise I'm not casting a spell. That was the guy's name, very white
- 29:34supremacists, very airying sounding name. Yeah, very And I'm sure we're going
- 29:40to have all of the information by by by twenty four hours from now on
- 29:45this guy. But we're still not going to have any idea what was in
- 29:48that manifesto. Yeah, we're still not going to have any fucking motivation for
- 29:53the Vegas shooter. Yep, we still don't. And that's the thing,
- 29:57Like, look, I get it, like people are worried about poppycats.
- 30:03I'm personally not. But what I am annoyed by is this selective approach to
- 30:07what we release in what we don't. Um. I don't think that there's
- 30:12anything in that person's manifesto for the for this Tennessee shooting that could possibly justify
- 30:22what she did. There's there's nothing in there, so we may as well
- 30:26know what, you know, like what her reasoning was. I mean,
- 30:30I don't care if she was bullied in school ten years ago or whatever it
- 30:33was, or five years ago, like that doesn't justify this so UM,
- 30:38clearly she had problems probably before school, Like I would you know, I
- 30:45think that journalists should look into what her home life was like if they could.
- 30:49Maybe it's in the manifesto maybe, you know, like who knows so
- 30:56well, not every detail counts as a justification either, yea about the reasons
- 31:00why something happened. It's this is one of the things that pisces me off
- 31:04about feminists. You talk about, UM, how crime happens, and like,
- 31:08one of the things that we've had to talk about is with rape perpetration.
- 31:15For instance, the UM data shows that there is a high rate of
- 31:21victimization as kids in the histories of perpetrators of sexual misconduct, sexual assault,
- 31:30UM, sexual imposition and uh, you know, sexual harassment, stalking,
- 31:34stuff like that. There's a there's a high rate of having been victims as
- 31:40as kids, and there's a high rate of female perpetration in that history against
- 31:48those kids. So feminists immediately get all up in arms and are like,
- 31:52here, you're blaming women for for getting rape. No, nobody said the
- 31:56victim was the perpetrator of that. What we're saying is, obviously, when
- 32:02this happens to a kid, you have to take into consideration that there's been
- 32:08some psychological damage that needs to be treated, and one of the many ways
- 32:15it can go is for the kid to stop recognizing other people's boundaries. You
- 32:22know, you also have people that become poly victims, and there's a there's
- 32:28a tendency among childhood victims that that don't become perpetrators and don't necessarily get the
- 32:36best treatment after having been victimized to become poly victims, where they don't learn
- 32:43to to communicate and enforce their own boundaries. And so these are things that
- 32:47you talk about where you're not saying, all right, well, that means
- 32:51that the person is at fault for their own victimization. I mean like that,
- 32:58that doesn't mean that. It means that when we know something bad like
- 33:01that has happened to a child, that as adults, if we want to
- 33:07prevent either of those two terrible outcomes from happening, our best chance at doing
- 33:13that is to take every major we can to help the child rebuild what the
- 33:20perpetrator tore down in the process of grooming or physically assaulting. And that's tough.
- 33:29It's tough to have those conversations. And it's the same thing with this
- 33:31shooter. If you have somebody that was bullied, or if you have somebody
- 33:37that was sexually exploited by an educator or an administrator or somebody else in authority
- 33:45when when she was a student, if either of those allegations were true,
- 33:50and we don't know if they were or not, you know, like if
- 33:52that's true and adults knew about it and there were complaints and there must have
- 33:59been because otherwise is like the their rainbow cult would not know about it.
- 34:05Um, then there should have been an effort to help, you know,
- 34:10redevelop the student's mental health and you know, the the tools that normally you
- 34:19use for socialization that get broken down when it doesn't go well when somebody m
- 34:28does something awful to you, or when you don't connect with your fellow students
- 34:31and you get bullied. Like that's it's the responsibility of the adults in the
- 34:36situation to help that young person through that situation and help them develop the social
- 34:44tools that they're going to need to process that and move on and to you
- 34:51know, socialize as an adult and not become violent or a serial victim.
- 35:00Yeah, there is another challenge here too. Um. Let's say that in
- 35:06the manifesto, she goes into detail of like you know, or she expresses
- 35:13that she was bullied, assaulted or even like molested and raped. There is
- 35:19there is a problem with that. First of all, we'd have to prove
- 35:22it, but but more than that, we'd also have to consider, like
- 35:24what do people of her generation consider to be violence and an assault and all
- 35:31that. Is it just discomfort? Is it people disagreeing with her? Is
- 35:36it being dead named? Is it using the wrong pronouns? Because that's the
- 35:39stuff that really upsets people of that generation that are a part of that like
- 35:45tumbler cult, And so I to them, or at least they'll say that,
- 35:52you know, you're basically killing me by not using my by dead naming
- 35:54me or not using my preferred pronouns, and so this is justification for what
- 35:59I'm doing. And the problem is is that it might not be worded in
- 36:01a way that allows us to really be able to parse that, and so
- 36:07it might just get reported as, oh, yeah, she was assaulted,
- 36:09this school was totally like awful to her and that's why she did that.
- 36:13And now and so we have to like understand that they're the language of the
- 36:21progressive okay, is completely different from ours, and so like they use words
- 36:27that that mean that to us means something very extreme, and they use it
- 36:30every day. And this person, because young people are very prone to this
- 36:37um, could have just swallowed all of it. So like the manifesto might
- 36:39even might not even be very useful to understand, like what like how they
- 36:45got to this point? Well, actually that would be useful in one way.
- 36:49It would it would prove that the language of the woke and the manner
- 36:55of thinking of the woke, the victimy thinking of the woke are causes of
- 37:00violence and need to be restrained and reformed. Yeah, well, I mean,
- 37:06yeah, you can. You can see that. Well, that's what
- 37:07I'm saying. Though. The problem is is that how are we going to
- 37:09know? That's why even if she had said or made a bunch of claims,
- 37:15they would have Oh, I guess the school is terrible. You know,
- 37:21there's two ways to describe a thing of One of them is to just
- 37:23use buzzwords, and the other one is to actually go in depth and describing
- 37:29what happened. Ye, and if the if I was really going off the
- 37:36deep end and was gonna you know, write a write a suicide note,
- 37:38because that's what it would be if I wouldn't go and hurt other people under
- 37:44any circumstance. But when I was suicidal, UM, you know I was.
- 37:47I was not I would have been uh not using bud buzzwords. I
- 37:53was. I was describing um in in my journal exactly detail by detail the
- 38:04things that I felt had affected my mind and even I mean, this is
- 38:09the other thing, all right. When you've been through an experience of sexual
- 38:15victimization as a kid, you know that you have been screwed up. You
- 38:22don't understand it, you don't have a way of articulating it exactly, but
- 38:28you know that you've been you've been stirred up wrong. I guess would it
- 38:34be a you've been scrambled like scrambled eggs in ways in your head and you
- 38:38know it and you don't have you don't have buzzwords for that. You have
- 38:45you know, I'm I'm all mixed up because I always thought this, and
- 38:50then I was convinced of this, and then this happened and and so on,
- 38:53and you can give a whole whole lass description of being groomed. So
- 38:59they don't I don't expect that, um, it would be that difficult to
- 39:06to tell. Like if you just see a bunch of buzzwords, then you
- 39:09know that what she's she's talking about, what she's been dealing with, is
- 39:15having the way that she thinks changed by this woke ideology. But if you
- 39:20have a description of actions, physical actions that were taken against her, that's
- 39:25not woke ideology. That's abuse. Maybe. I mean, if she was
- 39:31a kid, yeah, it's it's like there's no there's no justification for that
- 39:37either. No, of course not. But go ahead, one last thing.
- 39:42I just I think it was this shooting. I'm pretty darn sure it
- 39:47was this shooting. They did kind of let one thing slip from either the
- 39:53planning or the manifesto or whatever very early, and I think that kind of
- 39:59gets read of the Oh it was something to do with the school narrative that
- 40:05they made a point to say that this individual really did a lot of research
- 40:10trying to find the perfect place to hit and actually canceled I don't know if
- 40:19it was an attempt or at the planning stages at that point, but actually
- 40:23canceled one of the shootings because they said, oh, they saw armed security
- 40:29at a place, and so this school wasn't even a first choice. It
- 40:35was possibly a second or third because again that what they said was they wanted
- 40:40to go after a place where they knew no one was going to fight back,
- 40:45where they knew they weren't going to face any resistance, and that they
- 40:49can get in and out easily, and that they were familiar with. Well,
- 40:52that is one reason why they would target nine year olds. Exactly what
- 40:55we were talking about the other the other week. Like a signing an area
- 41:01of a parking lot for women only is like holding up a sign saying come
- 41:06on in rapists, like a sign outside fight bank zone, a gun free
- 41:13zone outside of school, as I say, come on in math shooters.
- 41:19That's true, and of course that would be a church, right, Um,
- 41:24thanks for that. I didn't know that. I guess we'll see tomorrow
- 41:29when the judge makes a ruling on whether or not they're going to release the
- 41:31manifesto and in what condition, like how much of it it will be redacted
- 41:37or what have you. So we have to say, I'll end this on
- 41:39a semi humorous note. If this is in the interests of the parents.
- 41:44I have to say, if you let the manifesto go public and it reveals
- 41:47all the incriminating things that the work media doesn't want the public to know about.
- 41:52Then go ahead and do it, and wait for the pundits at CNN
- 41:55and MSNBC like Rachel Maadow and Anderson Cooper to start screeching about how none of
- 42:01this is true. It's all a collusion and you parents are all a bunch
- 42:06of crisis actors working for your own interest. Do you have any idea how
- 42:10much you can sue them for? According to precedent, and unlike Alex Jones,
- 42:16these counts and the companies they work for can actually afford several billion dollars,
- 42:22and then when George Soros shoots them another ten billion dollars, you can
- 42:25rinse him for all his money as well. You could do so much good
- 42:30for the world, especially for the very American Christians theoretically would like to protect.
- 42:36How much money are they paying you to bury this information, because in
- 42:40theory you could get so much more for unearthing it. That is, of
- 42:45course, assuming that the Rachel Meadows and Anderson Coopers of the world face the
- 42:50same legal consequences as the Alex Joneses of the world. You may say I'm
- 42:53a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Maybe I am. All
- 43:00right, let's move on to the next story. Let us know when you
- 43:00guys think about this one in the comments, and I look forward to seeing
- 43:06your thoughts because it is an interesting story and we and we shouldn't forget it
- 43:09because the media would like us to. All right, Well, anyway,
- 43:14speaking of the media, I'm gonna mention this thing about January sixth, So
- 43:20the US Department of Justice says that they have arrested over one thousand Trump supporters.
- 43:24That's how that's how CNBC dot com is framing it. For the January
- 43:30six Capital protest. As cited by CNBC, about one third of Capital riot
- 43:35defendants have been charged with assault, resisting arrest, impeding police, or something
- 43:39like that during the attack, and about four hundred and twenty defendants have already
- 43:44been adjudicated and sentenced for their criminal activity, including like some people who are
- 43:50very old, like like old old women, for example. The Department of
- 43:54Justice is resolved to hold accountable those who committed crimes on January six, twenty
- 43:59one, has not and will not wane. The DJ updates dead. FBI
- 44:04officials were concerned that footage from inside the US Capital on January six, twenty
- 44:07twenty one, would show undercover agents and confidential informants, a whistleblower said in
- 44:13testimony revealed on May eighteenth. He said Boston officials questioned why they couldn't get
- 44:19access to the tranch of some eleven thousand hours of footage because they have cameras
- 44:24everywhere, because it's the goddamn capital, from inside the capital, because there
- 44:30may be maybe UCS, which is undercover officers or confidential human sources on those
- 44:37videos whose identity we need to protect, according to Washington based officials. And
- 44:44I bring this up because well, first of all, we should not forget
- 44:47that there are people who are essentially just guilty of misdemeanors like trespassing that are
- 44:52being held for years, okay like years, and they're not no one he's
- 45:00hearing anything about it. Some of them are in solitary confinement. Um.
- 45:04And and you know it's it's not being reported, it's not being discussed.
- 45:08People are being punished disproportionately. And I, um, you know, you
- 45:14guys remember ash Ashcow the journalists, Yeah, that she used to write about
- 45:19college rape cases as false allegations mostly right, And since those days and she
- 45:24was also involved with Gamergate. Um and since those days, Ash has you
- 45:30know, gotten married, had kids, and she's moved to North Carolina.
- 45:35And I spoke to her on Facebook because she and I are still friends,
- 45:37and I chat with her sometimes because I like to, you know, see
- 45:40what's going on. And she currently writes for the Washington Examiner, the Daily
- 45:45Wire, and probably some other stuff. And I asked her about this and
- 45:49she told me that, um uh in from what she knows, like none
- 45:54of this stuff that's happening. She thinks it's absolutely absurd that people are being
- 46:00treated this way for trespassing and they're being called or labeled as enemies of the
- 46:04state. And so I think that, um, I just wanted to mention
- 46:08this story briefly. I know the photograph that I have here displayed is kind
- 46:15of um well, how do I put it. It's intended to make bias
- 46:21your view on this. But remember there were FEDS there and there was only
- 46:25one death, and the person who was killed was one of the protesters that
- 46:30was unfortunately climbing in through a window that like apps I think broke. Uh
- 46:36So, everybody, what's what you know, like the scale of this there
- 46:40was only one death that was actually at the site. Yeah, it was
- 46:44actually in the periphery. Yeah, there was only one murder, Shelby said,
- 46:49Yeah, there was one killed by another person. Yeah, and there
- 46:53was only one. There was only one death that was caused by the event.
- 47:00Yeah. Everything that they labeled caused by the event. Um, like
- 47:06they claimed the protesters killed people that was disproved. Well, yeah, right,
- 47:15they might be able to say, yeah, they might be able to
- 47:17say that suicides were caused by the event. But but I wouldn't say that
- 47:22on the protesters, Yeah, because those were officers that might feel guilty about
- 47:27how they handled the situation. Yeah. And the cop that killed Ashley bad
- 47:30Bit was not charged, was not prosecuted. He wasn't a cop. He
- 47:34was he was he was super service Yeah whoever the guy, and he was
- 47:38also he was also a tremendous fuck up. Yeah, he had to be
- 47:43disciplined I think more than once for leaving his service weapon in a public bathroom.
- 47:53So anyway, on this, but I just wanted to, like,
- 47:57you know, remind him, I mean about this. If you want people
- 48:01to really take you seriously, if you really want to bolster your credibility with
- 48:09the public, that the most important thing for you to do is too heavy
- 48:15handedly, and I mean like absolutely heavy handedly punish anybody that doesn't believe you,
- 48:22because that just totally makes people trust you. Know they've obviously if they're
- 48:30going to get severely punished for demonstrating a lack of trust in you and communicating
- 48:39their their dissatisfaction with your handling of their questions about your actions and how how
- 48:52a particular event was run that affects their lives, the most important way to
- 49:00communicate to them that you are an upstanding and trustworthy and believable, credible person
- 49:07or entity is to severely punish anybody that questions you in any way, shape
- 49:13or form, even just by coming to visit to ask more questions. That
- 49:20just is the best trust building exercise. You don't want to show transparency,
- 49:25you don't want to open up for more questions, you don't want to meet
- 49:31with people and discuss the situation with them, and you certainly don't want to
- 49:36open an investigation into what they're questioning. Nope, just punish the shit out
- 49:40of them, and then everybody that is affected by your decision making will trust
- 49:46you from there on out. They'll know that you're absolutely being honest and forthright
- 49:53with them. Joly, I'm sensing a little bit of sensing a little bit
- 49:59of sarcasm in your voice. I don't know if it might be the case.
- 50:04Maybe so for everyone across the media and across the internet who on the
- 50:10afternoon of January the sixth was watching all of this and rapidly calling for the
- 50:15mass punishment of those protesters to the full extent of the law. Yeah,
- 50:21the question is are you satisfied? Is that enough to satiate your appetite for
- 50:28retribution those thousand or so people? Is that enough? Let's leave aside how
- 50:34that global cult of racial Marxists took siege on our cities all over the world,
- 50:39just in America, all over the world, just months before. Let's
- 50:44forget for now. How to you, it was just inconceivable authoritarianism for anyone
- 50:49to even suggest that those rioters should have been punished if they weren't. By
- 50:54the way, for the most part, even those who were taken into custody
- 50:58were posted bail from some mysterious source or other, as there's always been the
- 51:02case every time Antifert and BLM do this, an option that has not been
- 51:07even extended to these Trump supporters. I realize that to you, folks,
- 51:12the satisfactory number of communist terrorists getting detained would be exactly zero. But it's
- 51:17worth asking, what is the satisfactory number of protesters against your kaphobic regime to
- 51:24be detained for two and a half years and counting? Is a thousand or
- 51:30so? Enough? Can you now put down the pitchfork and dismount from your
- 51:36high horse and say, yes, that's enough. That's just about the goldilocks
- 51:42amount of blood for which I was lusting. I am sufficiently satisfied. You
- 51:46may now put down the machine, get and get back to arresting the violent
- 51:51criminals who are planning on doing masculines, you know, the ones already known
- 51:54to the FBI. I guess not weird, and yeah, no, something
- 52:00tells me it's still not enough. A thousand Trump supporters is nothing. It
- 52:05still leaves seventy something million fascist heathen infidels that you still want off the streets
- 52:13and punished forever for their heresy, And even that will not be enough.
- 52:16From then on, you'll focus your crosshairs on anyone who attends the two minutes
- 52:22of hate and doesn't scream quite loud enough at the ghost of Emmanuel Goldstein.
- 52:27Yeah, I realize. I realized none, none of the people I'm talking
- 52:30to are even listening to me or to Honey Badger Radio. Ever, we're
- 52:35we're quite high up on your list of enemies of the state. I guess
- 52:37all I'm doing is expressing my own particular two minutes. But you'll notice I'm
- 52:43directing it at the ruling regime, and I always will til my dying breath,
- 52:47as soon or as late as that might idea. I just want to
- 52:52say one last thing about this. And I've said this before, but I
- 52:58was almost there, like like the day of I know, I know,
- 53:05and my wife did too. She begged me not to go, and I
- 53:07was like, so I was, I'm only three hours away from DC.
- 53:12I was gonna go because all I wanted to do was interview people and like
- 53:15get their opinions on things and maybe like plug the channel right like hopefully,
- 53:21because I've noticed that the same kind of people that our Trump supporters tend to
- 53:25also be sympathetic to men's issues. So I was like, well, this
- 53:29could be an opportunity and I would put out some video and all that.
- 53:32And I didn't end up going because you know, could ranner Cam and other
- 53:37people and Lindsay. Lindsay especially she was like, please don't go because if
- 53:40something happens to you, you know, she'd be screwed. Basically, the
- 53:47thing is that even if this is this is what I want to point out,
- 53:50Okay, even the people who didn't go inside got arrested, even people
- 53:54who had who were who were on the periphery, who were just watching,
- 53:59or maybe they were some people that like I think Tim Poole like got a
- 54:02phone. He wasn't even there. Okay, So it doesn't like people will
- 54:08say, well so and you know, some people are breaking a law or
- 54:12whatever. Yeah, misdemeanors at best, like misdemeanors at best. And the
- 54:17people who were doing stuff like Epps, for example, who is a FED.
- 54:22Let's just face it, like, you know, he was a FED.
- 54:24He's obviously not going to serve like anything, like, nothing's going to
- 54:28happen. So if I had gone, there's a pretty good chance that I
- 54:31would not be hosting this show even now, even though it's been a couple
- 54:36of years. So yeah, I mean, I guess, I guess I
- 54:39count my blessings. But that's one of the reasons why I'm watching this story
- 54:44because I'm looking at what almost happened to me. There's some other things that
- 54:49people should be aware of with regard to that as well, Like, not
- 54:52only would you not have to have engaged in any crime to be accused and
- 54:57convicted of a crime. In this instance, they have that they've already been
- 55:01caught lying in in people's cases, they've already been caught um where where it's
- 55:10Uh, it's been alleged that the individual did a bunch of things on their
- 55:15own, and then it comes out that actually it was a FED basically directed
- 55:21them. And this is not a one off either. There have over the
- 55:29last ten years been several news articles come out where you know, this this
- 55:36person or that person gets arrested for and convicted of planning a terrorist act,
- 55:43and then you find out, well, actually this person was along for the
- 55:46ride while the FEDS were planning them for them to commit a terrorist act and
- 55:52providing all the materials. Uh, And like even um, I can't remember
- 56:00what all mental health conditions the kid had, but one of them was autism
- 56:05if I remember right, I think schizophrenia. They basically contacted the least capable
- 56:12person they could find a vetting information that was that was coming into him because
- 56:16he was discontented about some things that they didn't want him to be discontinued,
- 56:22you know, people to be discontented over, and talked him into radicalized him,
- 56:29you know, for to use their language, talked him into committing violence
- 56:34provided a vehicle, provided the ability to go get the materials and everything.
- 56:38And his parents had to come out and say, you know, he never
- 56:40would have been capable of doing this, like much less come up with the
- 56:45idea. He physically and mentally could not have achieved any of this if it
- 56:52hadn't been for FBI informants contacting him, planning it, for him buying the
- 56:59equipment, or him transporting him, and and then then you know, the
- 57:05state was going to hold him responsible for all of that. Now, if
- 57:09that had involved drugs or prostitution and a local precinct had done all of that
- 57:17to somebody and then arrested them for drug dealing or engaging in one side or
- 57:24the other of prostitution, that would be labeled entrapment. They would they would
- 57:32not have a case against that person and they would be disciplined for it.
- 57:37But since it's the FEDS. Since it is the federal police, the FBI,
- 57:44that's that's a different story, you know. And for me, this
- 57:47is a particularly sad thing because, you know, my great grandfather was a
- 57:54Secret Service officer, you know, back back when the Secret Service was about
- 58:00preventing the president from getting murdered and the CIA was about murdering the president.
- 58:06Um. And and it's it's just sad. It's sad to see, uh,
- 58:15what should have been our country's immune system against crime and against um infiltration
- 58:22by foreign interests trying to interfere with our political system become the vehicle for for
- 58:32protecting our our our country's system against vigilance. Yeah, you know, against
- 58:45you know, not not necessarily vigilantism, but transparency, against vetting of the
- 58:54character of the people involved, against vetting the process itself. Like it's you
- 59:00know, every from the from the top down, every agency that we are
- 59:07told that we should trust to protect the citizens against having our country taken over
- 59:19by nut jobs and malevolent interests are protecting the nut jobs and malevolent interests at
- 59:27the expense of the civil rights of the people. Yep, completely upside down.
- 59:34We might as well not have a law enforcement for us, we might
- 59:37as well not have, you know, a national security organization because it is
- 59:43doing exactly the opposite of what we are told it should be doing. We
- 59:47should start calling it national insecurity. Yeah, it's it's got a change,
- 59:52um, but we got to move on. I find myself asking if which
- 1:00:00is it with with the FBI. Are they perpetrating these things? Is it
- 1:00:07merely just as banal as they need to justify their their salaries and the money
- 1:00:19they get paid by the government and that's where it stops. Or do they
- 1:00:27do these things not only for that reason, but to start, you know,
- 1:00:32sewing certain seeds that they want to sew, like uh, yeah,
- 1:00:36you know, you got to be really scared about those A white supremacist,
- 1:00:39I mean, haven't you heard they're the biggest threat to national security? But
- 1:00:43that all these things we've perpetrated. Yeah, and white supremacists are very diverse
- 1:00:49these days. They come in as well, don't you know the only rule
- 1:00:52of racism club is just be racist, the only Yeah. Yeah. The
- 1:01:00other the other thing too is that And this is the thing I've I've really,
- 1:01:06really really found that a lot of people don't know about January to sixth
- 1:01:13is that there were two protests that the White House isn't this small place,
- 1:01:21It's very very big. Yeah it is. It is. And you had
- 1:01:30two protests. The one where they simply walked through, maybe participated in some
- 1:01:37light tomfoolery that I would go as far as to call vandalism, and then
- 1:01:43there was the one where it was considerably more raucous, where there were people
- 1:01:50injured, there were cops injured, and yeah, I think a few of
- 1:01:53those arrests are definitely justified. Although had this happened in New York, they
- 1:01:59would have called up a slow day. Yeah, I would have been fiery,
- 1:02:01but mostly peaceful, or like the other time that BLM attacked the capital
- 1:02:06of Prior, and it was far more. Something over two hundred Secret Service
- 1:02:12agents were injured yea, and no arrests of note were made. And that
- 1:02:16really exposes what I'm trying to get at, which is this two tiered justice
- 1:02:22system. Yep, exactly. We've had another great example of that recently,
- 1:02:27without getting too much into it, I don't know if you guys recall the
- 1:02:30story we did several months ago of the teenager Trump supporter who got into an
- 1:02:39argument with a grown ass man who was drunk, who then proceeded to leave
- 1:02:45the area, get into his truck, stalk the kid, and then run
- 1:02:52him dead in the street like a dog. I remember that story. And
- 1:02:59they've us now just now got the plea down to manslaughter. Yeah, even
- 1:03:06though there was a clear, demonstratable previous interaction which makes this premeditated. Even
- 1:03:15though the guy was on the phone with his mother saying Mom, can you
- 1:03:20come pick me up? I think I'm being followed by someone. Yeah?
- 1:03:24Ye, And then the guy's defense, Oh my god, the most disgraceful
- 1:03:29part. The guy's defense when he immediately came in was like, I can't
- 1:03:32really go to jail. I've got a business to run, you know.
- 1:03:37I'm I'm I'm I'm a really busy important guy. Can we just get on
- 1:03:43with this? And yeah, like I said, just we're just gonna bump
- 1:03:46that down to manslaughter. Yeah. So it's gonna be really interesting to see,
- 1:03:52if you know, I don't want to jinx anything, but if if
- 1:03:57we get someone with common sense in the White House next, it's going to
- 1:04:00be interesting to see if we're going to have a repeat of twenty seventeen and
- 1:04:09and and we're going to see how quick that gets swept under the carpet,
- 1:04:14how how that gets just memory hold. Yeah, because exactly, I guess
- 1:04:19it's going to depend on who gets in. Whether it's somebody who was you
- 1:04:26know, at least in government at that time and had to deal with that
- 1:04:29stuff, or whether you know, you get you get somebody that's basically a
- 1:04:32nube that could forget that kind of thing. I imagine. I hope at
- 1:04:39least that if he were to get elected, Trump wouldn't make the same mistake
- 1:04:43twice UM. And I hope because he was governor through UM, through protests
- 1:04:53and other misconduct, and has has dealt with some of the craziness from the
- 1:05:00woke left, that if ron de Sandis gets elected, that he would not
- 1:05:05forget that stuff and that he would not make the same mistakes that Trump made
- 1:05:10during that time. Like you obviously you can't. If you're gonna be big
- 1:05:16government about some things, you have to be big government about that. And
- 1:05:20if you're gonna be small government, you gotta not lock people down and and
- 1:05:28you know, suddenly become big government. Because there's a ninety five percent survivable
- 1:05:33deadly virus out there that you know, Yeah, like that's the that's the
- 1:05:38other thing. Like January six, I watched all of this stuff happen from
- 1:05:45the bedroom my son had just moved out of UM a year earlier, where
- 1:05:51I was quarantine because you know, I was, I was, I was
- 1:05:55dying. Um, I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't even like I
- 1:06:00was infected, but I wasn't sick, if that makes sense, Like I
- 1:06:02had the minimum quarantine because they don't. They don't make you quarantine longer if
- 1:06:09you don't have symptoms, right, But but yeah, it's just if somebody
- 1:06:15started selling I Survived COVID T shirts, um, I think most of the
- 1:06:20country would have them. And that's of course what was going on at the
- 1:06:26time, and all of the majors that were taken and all of the craziness
- 1:06:30that happened during twenty twenty. Like how soon are people going to forget that?
- 1:06:34Right? Well, hopefully they never do, but it all depends on
- 1:06:40how thoroughly they've been propagandized. It was a great article that came out that
- 1:06:45said, we are going to forget most of what happened during the pandemic,
- 1:06:49and that's a good thing. Yeah, of course, of course, of
- 1:06:54course, it's these things it allows it to happen again, right, They
- 1:06:57desperately don't want people to remember. They pertly don't want to be held accountable,
- 1:07:01of course. But okay, look, I gotta move on. We
- 1:07:04got two more stories, maybe three if we can like get to it quickly
- 1:07:10enough, which I don't see that happening, but um, please send us
- 1:07:14a super chow. I don't I'm not getting any right now, but you
- 1:07:17know, please U leave us your comments, send a super chat, or
- 1:07:23you can send us as some support through um feed the Badge of dot com
- 1:07:28for slash support, or you can just go to feed the Badge of dot
- 1:07:30com and there will be links right on the main page. It'll take you
- 1:07:33to where you can send us super chows or donating to our fundraiser or both.
- 1:07:38So with that said, we're gonna move on to the next story.
- 1:07:41Just a quick little follow up on the founder of cash app, right,
- 1:07:45Bob Lee. So, UM, I just think this was kind of a
- 1:07:49weird, you know, thing that we learned because we covered this story when
- 1:07:54it broke. Originally we didn't know much about what had happened, but we
- 1:07:58have a little bit more infos. Oh, mike Ja take it away.
- 1:08:01So the tech world was rocked nearly two months ago when a software engineer,
- 1:08:08businessman, and cash app founder Bob Lee was stabbed to death in his home
- 1:08:15city of San Francisco. Many were quick to blame the city's rising rate of
- 1:08:20random violent crime, but Lee's stabbing appears to be targeted. Just word of
- 1:08:27warning, we're going to be using the word allegedly a lot, so get
- 1:08:31prepared for that because the case is still developing. The prime suspect in the
- 1:08:38killing of Lee is a fellow, a tech worker by the name of Nima
- 1:08:42Momeni of I believe the guy was Pakistani. I want to say Iranian.
- 1:08:48Iranian all right, always makes those two up. According to CCTV footage and
- 1:08:55eye witnesses, it's likely that Momeni was the last person to who have inter
- 1:09:00rected with Lee brior to his death. The two allegedly had an argument about
- 1:09:05Momeni's sister, who was reportedly in a casual relationship with Lee, but then
- 1:09:11he was interested to learn if Lee was doing anything inappropriate with her. I
- 1:09:15don't have any more context for what that means. I don't know whether it
- 1:09:19means drugs or sex or what. And apparently Lee was quite fond of both
- 1:09:28even at the time of death. They noted that he was on a pharmacy's
- 1:09:31worth of chemicals. So they allegedly had this argument, and it's unclear how
- 1:09:41it ended, but it couldn't have been that bad because Lee entered Momeni's car
- 1:09:45and the two drove off around two am into a dark alley near the three
- 1:09:49hundred block of Main Street in the Rinkin Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. And
- 1:09:55again what happens next isn't super clear because there were no witnesses and there was
- 1:10:00no CCTV footage of exactly what was happening in there. But one moment later,
- 1:10:05Momeni appears and quickly drives off, and then the next Lee emerges from
- 1:10:13the alley, stumbling and bleeding, and by the time onlookers were able to
- 1:10:17call nine one one, Lee was already unconscious by the time the cops got
- 1:10:23there, and by the time they got him to the hospital he was pronounced
- 1:10:28dead after succumbing to stab wounds to his lungs and heart. So someone got
- 1:10:34him good. Do you know? Do you know how long it was before
- 1:10:39the cops, like between when they called and when the cops showed up how
- 1:10:42much time, I do not know. I was curious because this California,
- 1:10:46they probably defunded the police. So well, there is one thing stab wounds
- 1:10:51can kill really fast, especially in the lungs and heart. Yeah, a
- 1:10:57lot of blood vessels and essentially drowning. Yeah, and you if, if
- 1:11:02you don't end up with cardiac arrest. Okay, wait, wait till you
- 1:11:09hear the excuse. This is brilliant. I used that word quite wrongly,
- 1:11:13But go on, So as I said, Lee would be pronounced dead after
- 1:11:18succumbing to the stab wounds to his lungs and heart. The motive for Momenti's
- 1:11:24alleged stabbing is of Lee's unclear. Aside from Lee allegedly dating Momenty's sister,
- 1:11:30he also dated Momeni's ex girlfriend three years ago. Days later, Momenti was
- 1:11:35arrested and charged with murder for Lee's killing. Is officially entered a plea of
- 1:11:41not guilty, with his lawyer somewhat interestingly arguing the stabbing was a combination of
- 1:11:49accident and self defense. A combination of accident and self defense. You didn't
- 1:11:59mean to stand your ground, Yeah, you tripped and fell and accidentally defended
- 1:12:04yourself in a man's lungs and heart. I mean, it sounds like the
- 1:12:09daftest thing anyone's ever said, but really it's just a concise distillation of the
- 1:12:14argument along the lines of it didn't happen, but if it did, it
- 1:12:17was a good thing, and that certainly wouldn't be the first time we've heard
- 1:12:21that particular logical fallacy. We've heard it so many times that it deserves its
- 1:12:27own Latin name non st eat seat st bonhom s for anyone who's wondering,
- 1:12:33it's something out. So what are we going to do about this dire situation?
- 1:12:38Ah, well, it's time to ban knives America. That's the only
- 1:12:43Way's the only way we could have possibly prevented this. Normally we would band
- 1:12:46guns first, and then band knives, and then band potato peelers and cheese
- 1:12:50graters and so on. But we can make a special case for the good
- 1:12:55old us of a you have yourselves that second Amendment, But as we know,
- 1:12:59that was only ever a muskets and what have you. After all,
- 1:13:02for a militia to be well armed doesn't mean standing around with daggers and hunting
- 1:13:06knives, does it. So we'll go ahead and confiscate your knives, and
- 1:13:11you can find a way of using guns to spread your peanut butter and jelly
- 1:13:14sandwiches. Sounds like fun if nothing else. You know, I could see
- 1:13:21if you were in a fight with somebody and you were both high or drunk
- 1:13:27and stumbling around a single stab wound being an accident, where you know,
- 1:13:34somebody falls onto the knife or you fall into the other person. But a
- 1:13:40targeted set of stab wounds being an accident is a lot harder to explain.
- 1:13:47And it's not that easy to stab someone in the heart. Your body has
- 1:13:54a natural armor in front of your heart, it's called your sternum, and
- 1:13:57you you have to pierce that on purpose or get in between the ribs,
- 1:14:02and that's that's pretty hard to predict, you know. So getting somebody in
- 1:14:09the heart and the lungs, like, you almost have to have a specific
- 1:14:14effort going toward that, yeah, Or you have to be on the ground
- 1:14:19defending yourself against somebody that's attacking you from above, so that you're stabbing up
- 1:14:25into them. And again, I can see one stab wound being an accident
- 1:14:32in that circumstance, if they fall on you but it's awfully hard to argue
- 1:14:38that a second stab wound was an accident. So unless there was only one
- 1:14:44wound that went through both the lung and the heart, it's a little skeptical
- 1:14:51there was they said, the corner said there were exactly three stab wounds.
- 1:14:57Say if there was three stab wounds, I I'm really skeptical of calling that
- 1:15:01an accident. Yeah, that's self defense. It's is a distinct possibility.
- 1:15:09And and they're like, my my jury is going to be out until there's
- 1:15:13more information on that. But I'm really skeptical of the accident. Yeah.
- 1:15:18Um, so this guy Bobbly, so he he was banging this dude's sister
- 1:15:25and his ex girlfriend three years earlier, right, I thought that he and
- 1:15:30and he's like, you know, he basically was in the scene, as
- 1:15:33it were. For some reason. I thought he was like part of or
- 1:15:36he would attend some kind of like sex parties. Bobbly, this guy was
- 1:15:43definitely known to be in the sort of underground clubbing, rave drugging swinging scene.
- 1:15:49Yeah though, and and like engage in violence because of it. Why
- 1:15:57would you wait three years? Well, I don't know. Maybe, um,
- 1:16:04maybe he wasn't bothered by it, and then like, well, here's
- 1:16:06the thing. I don't know that it has anything to do with like this
- 1:16:10guy's relations you know, it might it might be something else. Originally I
- 1:16:15thought maybe it's a business thing, because they kind of thing, but there's
- 1:16:20no corroboration. I found that they that they that they knew each other previously
- 1:16:27to this. Yeah, only link is this you know, ex girlfriend several
- 1:16:30years ago, and the sister and and the sister and like I said,
- 1:16:35it was they appeared to have some sort of conversation. Some phrase it as
- 1:16:41an argument concerning the guy's sister. And maybe maybe he had knowledge that this
- 1:16:46guy was into a bunch of weird sex stuff and drug use and partying and
- 1:16:51didn't want that for his sister. But that's all speculation at this point.
- 1:16:56We don't. Yeah, like their motive in relationship is just yeah, completely
- 1:17:01unknown. Well I guess what what I think that might be a takeaway is
- 1:17:06that, like, you know, his lifestyle seemed to me to be pretty
- 1:17:13like high risk, not not just because of the stabbing, but just just
- 1:17:16like you know, the sex parties, the drugs, the the orgies,
- 1:17:20the dating whoever. Like, and I thought maybe maybe I'm wrong, but
- 1:17:24I thought he had children or something. But the the the guy that was
- 1:17:29stabbed Bobbly had children with his ex wife. I believe they separated at least
- 1:17:34a year ago, and I forget who got custody. I think she did
- 1:17:40yea, and they were married when he was when he was dating. Um,
- 1:17:44this could be the sister. It's unknown. It's unknown. Yeah,
- 1:17:48we don't know. But I mean, like if it was just a year
- 1:17:54versus three years, you know, unless his marriage was really short lived,
- 1:17:59which is a possibility that happens. But geez, I guess one takeaway from
- 1:18:06this is, uh, you know, the issue of proxy violences is pretty
- 1:18:12serious. And if this was a conflict over the sister or the X or
- 1:18:18both, and it wasn't self defense and it wasn't an accident, it wouldn't
- 1:18:26have happened without that conflict, right And if it, if it was self
- 1:18:31defense, then you have the question of did did a brother can you know,
- 1:18:38confront his sister's X over something inappropriate, something you know, awful or
- 1:18:45whatever, and the X was such a messed up guy that he attacked instead
- 1:18:51of just ending the conversation and walking away and and fought so hard that the
- 1:18:59brother felt obligated or so scared that he had to defend himself and with deadly
- 1:19:08force, in which case, what was she doing with that kind of guy
- 1:19:13to begin with? You know, um, when when? And it's it's
- 1:19:16difficult to really speculate on this because we don't know enough details. But if
- 1:19:24a situation, the situation was something like that, you know, it goes
- 1:19:27right back to if women are going to expect and demand proxy violence from men,
- 1:19:33and women do that as in mass like every time somebody, oh where
- 1:19:40were all the men when some woman has been in distress? Right? Um,
- 1:19:44If they're going to do that, then it's on women to be very
- 1:19:48careful stewards of of that proxy violence and to not put themselves in situations where
- 1:19:56they're borrowing trouble on his time. And you know, frankly, I don't
- 1:20:03think men, oh women that proxy violence. I think that is a form
- 1:20:09of slavery. Um. I don't think I could have made it any clearer
- 1:20:14than I did in the video I made in response to that country song that
- 1:20:17I hate so much. Um, But this is just uh, you know,
- 1:20:25if this is what it looks like just from the scant information that we
- 1:20:30have um, if it's what it looks like it could be, it didn't,
- 1:20:35you couldn't take a lesson from it. Don't. Yeah, you know,
- 1:20:40don't feel obligated, you know, don't feel obligated to confront, especially
- 1:20:45like from a three year old breakup. I'm sorry, but if you guys
- 1:20:49have been separated for three years, you know, don't go at ladies.
- 1:20:54Don't go asking a guy to go track down that asshole for you. If
- 1:20:58there's a problem three years later, because you're being stopped to go to the
- 1:21:00police, not your brother or your best buddy or any of that shit,
- 1:21:06because you're gonna get somebody killed and somebody jailed, right and if and the
- 1:21:13cops are paid to be your proxy violence. But if there's not a problem,
- 1:21:17then leave him the fuck alone and move on, because you're going to
- 1:21:21get somebody killed and somebody jailed. Like I have some common sense, and
- 1:21:27guys, don't put up with that shit. It's not your job. You
- 1:21:30don't have to do that. No, of course not. So we're gonna
- 1:21:34move on. Thing. One thing I'd like to mention real quick. You
- 1:21:39know, I just want to move away from Bob Lee, the founder of
- 1:21:42cash app. For one moment, and I want to talk about something completely
- 1:21:45random. The fed now service is going to be launching next month, and
- 1:21:50that's going to be instant payments through the Federal Reserve from person to person,
- 1:21:57and that's that's that's gonna be something that's going to be happening soon. And
- 1:22:00it's great that, like, you know, maybe one of their biggest competitors
- 1:22:03is not doing so hot because they just yeah, well, I mean many
- 1:22:08people say that this is going to be a building block towards the central baked
- 1:22:12digital currency. Yay, but you know, that's just completely rammed. I'm
- 1:22:15sorry I brought it up. I don't want to distract anybody from it.
- 1:22:18Let's let's get back to it. Brian. Sorry, very interesting news.
- 1:22:23Yeah, it is all right. Uh, we gotta move on. Let
- 1:22:26us know what you guys think about this in the comments. We're gonna move
- 1:22:29on to the last story. There could be one more, depending on you
- 1:22:32know, how we do. But we're gonna get into the last wee.
- 1:22:34We're gonna talk about women's depression. So a new Gallop survey reveals depression rates
- 1:22:43have skyrocketed for American adults. Of course, the article frames it as especially
- 1:22:47women Almost thirty percent of adults report being diagnosed with depression at some point in
- 1:22:53their lifetime, nearly ten percentage points higher than it was in twenty fifteen.
- 1:22:58The rates of depression are right fastest in women. Over one third of women
- 1:23:02are now reporting being are now report of being diagnosed with depression. Depression rates
- 1:23:08are also climbing amongst black and Hispanic adults, according to Gallop, now surpassing
- 1:23:13white respondents. While clinical depression was slowly rising in the US, it seems
- 1:23:17to have jumped, notably in the aftermath of guess what, the coup and
- 1:23:23the lockdowns. What I'm expressing, I'm expressing. You can't see it,
- 1:23:32Yeah, no, but I can feel it. Currently, seventeen percent of
- 1:23:36US adults report experiencing significant loneliness yesterday, projecting to an estimated forty four million
- 1:23:44people. According to Gallop quote, women have historically reported substantially higher levels of
- 1:23:49depression than men end quote, and that COVID impacted women worse, women,
- 1:23:55women worse guys? Did you know the coup affects women more? They claim.
- 1:24:00Women were disproportionately likely to lose their jobs or to exit the workforce altogether,
- 1:24:03due in part to the pandemic driving children home from school or daycare,
- 1:24:09and that because women make up seventy eight percent of workers in healthcare, they
- 1:24:13were exposed to enhanced emotional and psychological risk. While the Gallup survey focuses on
- 1:24:18the fastest growing rates of self reported depression diagnosis, the rate of suicide is
- 1:24:24still highest in middle aged white men. In twenty twenty, men died by
- 1:24:27suicide three point eight eight times more than women, and white men accounted for
- 1:24:32sixty nine point sixty eight percent of suicide death. And I can't see it.
- 1:24:39I can't see it. Yeah, no, I don't buy this idea
- 1:24:43that women sufferpression modern men, and no one, no should anyone else.
- 1:24:46The tricky thing about depressions as a term or as a concept is connected to
- 1:24:55such a term. It's similar to the tricky thing about gender dysphoria. It
- 1:25:00does exist as a clinical condition. Problem is, it's very easy to misdiagnose
- 1:25:08in others. It is very easy to misdiagnose in oneself. And it's very
- 1:25:12easy to simply fame or just straight up fake, you know, for attention,
- 1:25:18as an excuse for just not dealing with your ship, or just because
- 1:25:23it's the trendy fake disease to have in this day and age. A compounding
- 1:25:30problem with the term depression is it's ambiguous. It's it's it is something listed
- 1:25:34in the DSM as a medical condition brought on by, among other things,
- 1:25:40a chemical imbalance, but exactly the same term refers to an ordinary human condition
- 1:25:49a lot of other things that narcissism has similar ambiguities. Some people are pathologically
- 1:25:57narcissistic, like they they can't help doing it no matter what happens. But
- 1:26:01some people can be called narcissists sort of colloquially, but all they are is
- 1:26:06self centered cunts who will snap out of it as soon as they get a
- 1:26:12harsh reality check. But depression is even more ambiguous than that. It doesn't
- 1:26:18just refer to an ordinary human condition. It refers to an ordinary human emotion,
- 1:26:25as an ordinary reaction to one's current circumstances. Getting depressed in twenty twenty,
- 1:26:34particularly in the late stages of twenty twenty, is, I put it
- 1:26:39to you, not necessarily a medical condition. It's a perfectly normal reaction to
- 1:26:45a world that's gone completely insane and has locked you in your home, locked
- 1:26:50you out of your job, locked your own small business out of reality,
- 1:26:57all for extremely spure us reasons, and then held your life hostage over a
- 1:27:03medical procedure that evidently does nothing to fix anything. If you ask me,
- 1:27:10if anything, it's neurologically abnormal not to get at least a little bit depressed
- 1:27:16over a situation like that. There's that quote that's so often worth repeating.
- 1:27:25Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure you
- 1:27:30are not, in fact simply surrounded by assholes. How can anyone have looked
- 1:27:34around themselves in the last three years and not concluded or at least considered that
- 1:27:41they are surrounded by assholes just the very least like on a global scale.
- 1:27:49Yeah, I mean at the same time, Yes, it stands to a
- 1:27:51reason that anyone who was perhaps on the brink of actual clinical depression was highly
- 1:28:00likely to have been pushed over the edge by the events of the last three
- 1:28:04years, which is to say nothing of the physical health conditions they've been mysteriously
- 1:28:11facing since the last two years. Obviously, those people need help, and
- 1:28:16that help needs to come from the petty tyrants who tormented them with this ruthless
- 1:28:24big brother future. I'm just saying it's quite probable that the condition most of
- 1:28:30these people are suffering is not a condition that should be diagnosed by a doctor
- 1:28:35or even a psychologist. It's a condition that anyone in their right mind would
- 1:28:40experience. No doctor should be diagnosing anyone with acute fear or chronic guilt,
- 1:28:49because these are not medical conditions that normal emotions, and you should be primarily
- 1:28:59looking to yourself for solace in such a situation. You should be looking to
- 1:29:03your friends and family and loved ones for solace in such a condition. You
- 1:29:08shouldn't. You certainly shouldn't be letting getting pop psychological advice from the very same
- 1:29:14quacks who pumped you full of experimental poison for no good reason. And yet
- 1:29:19to some degree, my recommendation is the same or similar as you know some
- 1:29:26randomer on the Internet who's user name is doctor. If you found yourself racked
- 1:29:32with acute fear in twenty twenty and you need someone else to blame, then
- 1:29:40your compensation should also come from the petty, lying tyrants who tormented you.
- 1:29:46Because they did, they tormented all of us. And if any of those
- 1:29:51lying tyrants in question ever truly realize what they've done and they find themselves experiencing
- 1:29:59chronic guilt. Well, you deserve it, you do. You deserve to
- 1:30:05suffer that ordinary human emotion for the rest of your lives. It's the least
- 1:30:11you can suffer, given that millions of paw counts with shite for blood are
- 1:30:15suffering, genuinely, biologically suffering for the rest of their lives because of you.
- 1:30:21And if that makes you depressed, fuck you, you deserve that too.
- 1:30:29My skepticism in regard to them, the difference in depression between men and
- 1:30:33women, it comes from some personal experience and healthcare and some personal experience as
- 1:30:42a as a patient, and there's a there's a phenomenon, and it's women
- 1:30:47are natural hypochondriacs. And if you aren't a natural hypochondriac as as a woman,
- 1:30:56it's okay. Your friends and female family members will just extend their hypochondria
- 1:31:04to you. Women have a tendency to pathologize everything. Everything's a mental illness,
- 1:31:10everything's a cold, everything's a injury, everything's, you know, a
- 1:31:14thousand times bigger than it really is. So I got diagnosed with depression when
- 1:31:18I was in high school, and I had situational depression, had symptoms of
- 1:31:25situational depression. But it was really more a situation that I hadn't talked about
- 1:31:31enough for anybody to treat it and anybody to help me through it. But
- 1:31:38I get diagnosed with clinical chemical imbalance based depression and drugged, and of course
- 1:31:44that that fucked me up, and they threw more drugs at me, and
- 1:31:46they never consider the possibility that maybe the patient isn't presenting symptoms accurately in mental
- 1:31:59health care, they just keep throwing more drugs at you. And the thing
- 1:32:02that women will do is, oh, okay, you give me another drug.
- 1:32:06I'll take that. You give me another drug, I'll take that.
- 1:32:10And it took getting to the point of like being the old lady that swallowed
- 1:32:14the fly of medicine for me and having a laundry list of side effects and
- 1:32:20damage from drug interactions, some of which led to permanent physical changes before before
- 1:32:29I was like, no, wait a minute, Like they're just they're just
- 1:32:31throwing darts at a dartboard here. I'm not actually getting medical treatment. Women
- 1:32:36will do that, right. Men will suffer in silence, Men will not
- 1:32:43trust because they see this shit happening, And why would you trust a system
- 1:32:48that does that? Yeah, why would they trust them. Women's functional and
- 1:32:58and honestly, like most of the dysfunction that the system is treating with women
- 1:33:02is put on. It's not that women don't have mental health conditions, it's
- 1:33:06it's that quite frequently, like women go in there with an idea of well
- 1:33:13it's this or it's that, and they get the diagnosis they want and boom,
- 1:33:16they're you know, they're getting drugs and and it's supposed to all be
- 1:33:20fixed, and then they get mad when it's not fixed. So there are
- 1:33:26men who are going through situational or chemical imbalance based depression that are not getting
- 1:33:32treated. This is why suicide among men is so much higher. When they
- 1:33:39do go in for treatment, they're not getting treated as men. They're they're
- 1:33:44getting treated as women, and they're not being taken seriously or they're being told
- 1:33:50that their problem has a different cause than it really has. You know,
- 1:33:54you can't you're not allowed to be depressed about being separated from your children and
- 1:33:58being left by your wife. That's that's boundary issues. That's toxic masculinity.
- 1:34:02You can't have that right. Um, that doesn't make you know, suicidal.
- 1:34:09So I I with this being self reported and everything. I think a
- 1:34:14lot of men are less likely to tell a survey that they deserve a diagnosis
- 1:34:19or have a diagnosis because they haven't reported it to a doctor, or they
- 1:34:26don't believe in it, or they don't trust the diagnosis, whereas a lot
- 1:34:30of women are are going to be like, oh, yes, I'm so
- 1:34:33stressed. I have to, you know, lose my favorite coffee shop and
- 1:34:39I had to drive an extra ten minutes to get to another one to get
- 1:34:42my my my What is a pumpkin spice double latte with with fat free coconut
- 1:34:49milk or whatever whatever you know? Oh yeah, and that's the same level
- 1:34:57of um. Women will treat that like it's the same level of pain and
- 1:35:00suffering as the guy that is separated from his children and has been left by
- 1:35:05his wife. And their doctor will as well, and they'll report it to
- 1:35:10this survey. So I just have a lot of skepticism in regard to the
- 1:35:16actual rates of depression and everything. And I also want to say something about
- 1:35:19the healthcare thing. Notice you got to pay attention to this the wording,
- 1:35:25all right, and the women make up seventy eight percent of workers in in
- 1:35:30healthcare. Well, guys, I'm in healthcare. I got three weeks of
- 1:35:36training for my job. That's it. There's no college education, there's no
- 1:35:41degree. My certification takes three weeks of education. I have to re up
- 1:35:45my CPR training and my medpast certification annually. That's an eight hour class for
- 1:35:51each of those things. Right, that's at sixteen hours of training a year,
- 1:35:56and I qualify to do my job, all right. Not a doctor,
- 1:36:01right, not a nurse even, not even a licensed practical nurse.
- 1:36:05That's eighteen months of university training. Okay. My exposure was to people who
- 1:36:13were not allowed in Ohio. People with intellectual disabilities were pretty much put in
- 1:36:19lockdown. They weren't allowed to go anywhere. Their day programs were shut down,
- 1:36:24right, they weren't allowed to go to any gatherings. Rules that didn't
- 1:36:28apply to everybody else applied to them, and it was it was mandated that
- 1:36:34they would be vaccinated. Right. So that was that was actually a ruling
- 1:36:40that was made by all right, not a ruling, but um executive order
- 1:36:46from our governor's office. So there was if they're going to claim that there
- 1:36:55was any emotional and psychological risk there, because they didn't say they were exposed
- 1:37:00to infectious disease risk. Right, emotional and psychological risk. Yeah, because
- 1:37:10the overwhelming majority of women in healthcare are nurses, aids, and direct support
- 1:37:16professionals. Right, then there are licensed practical nurses and nurses. And the
- 1:37:24higher you climb on the ladder of healthcare, the more you get to where
- 1:37:30men go when they go into healthcare. When men go into healthcare, they
- 1:37:32go into the most proactive elements they can, or the most lucrative elements they
- 1:37:38can, or both. Right, infectious disease specialists were more likely to be
- 1:37:44men. You known, men do the dirty jobs. Even in medical care.
- 1:37:48A gastroenterologist is almost exclusively likely to be a man. Yeah right,
- 1:37:56that's a it's a it's a shitty job. Just just saying, but yeah,
- 1:38:04that's the guy that sticks the camera up your ass if they think you
- 1:38:08might have colon cancer, Just so you know, but yeah, I like
- 1:38:12So it's again claiming that women are more likely to be depressed, claiming that
- 1:38:18women are in a more stressful position. It's all bullshit. You watch watch
- 1:38:24the language that is being used to describe this. It's buzzwords, not specificity.
- 1:38:30And and remember that this is self reported and women are more likely to
- 1:38:34be to feel comfortable complaining, and they are more likely to be taken seriously
- 1:38:42when they complain, and then they're also more likely to receive a diagnosis and
- 1:38:46treatment as a result of that. It doesn't mean women are more likely to
- 1:38:53be depressed, and the difference in suicide rate demonstrates that very clearly. Yes,
- 1:39:00Okay, does anyone else have any thoughts on this about depression? Okay,
- 1:39:04then I'm gonna go ahead and make this sauce as a little extra long
- 1:39:09because I do want to. I want to mention the last thing that I
- 1:39:12found. So, um, let's move on to the next story. Uh,
- 1:39:18guess who's back from back again? Zoe's back. Tell a friend so
- 1:39:26IDW, which is a comic publisher. They used to be well, they
- 1:39:31used to print the Image comics and I think now IDW a image and they've
- 1:39:35split off and done other things. They have hired Zoe Quinn to write a
- 1:39:41Wednesday Adams comic. Who whoa this is gonna be bad? Zoe literally?
- 1:39:48Who? Oh yeah? Yeah? Literally who? Literally? Literally? Um
- 1:39:54she is writing so you guys might have seen it, might not. There
- 1:39:59was a couple I think there were two but I could be wrong. Of
- 1:40:02Adam's Family like animated films that came out recently, they were like three D
- 1:40:08animated and made to look more like the original strip that they were based on.
- 1:40:13And they're right. She is writing a story about Wednesday specifically because of
- 1:40:17course. And they have a sort of a synopsis of the first issue called
- 1:40:25well It's Adams Family Body's Issue number one And I just want to give you
- 1:40:30guys the synopsis of this, and this is Zoe Quinn's idea. Say so,
- 1:40:36Wednesday Adams doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere, not even at home.
- 1:40:41After she discovers a beauty magazine in her uncle Fester's room that tells her
- 1:40:45all about how she should look an act. It doesn't keep her down for
- 1:40:49long, however, as she quickly realizes that rather than change herself, it
- 1:40:54would be more fun to make over her family and force them to accept the
- 1:40:58societal norms they all normally reject. The IDW one shot, this spinoff from
- 1:41:03the animated The Adams Family movie, features all your favorite characters, including Gomez,
- 1:41:09Mortisham, Pugsley, Lurched, the Thing or Thing not the Thing,
- 1:41:12and of course Wednesday, featuring a New maccab cover by China China, Cloaks
- 1:41:16and Flores. This cooks off a whole new run of comics featuring the creepy
- 1:41:19Kookie altogether spooky Adams Family. So yeah, go ahead. It's funny how
- 1:41:26they accuse us of wanting to live in the fifties. You'll recall the Adams
- 1:41:30Family was first devised. I don't know if it's the fifties or the sixties,
- 1:41:33but the original Adams Family show was devised in the fifties, back in
- 1:41:39the days when goths weren't a thing. Yeah, when when there wasn't a
- 1:41:45clique in every high school of goths, but you could easily belong to if
- 1:41:50if you feel like being a goth, Like you can't in this day and
- 1:41:55age, say oh I'm a goth. There's there's no one I can befriend.
- 1:42:00There's there's there's no small community of like minded people who dress exactly the
- 1:42:04fucking same as me and think exactly the same as me in every high school
- 1:42:10in every community in the western world. Yeah, like, and no,
- 1:42:16you're living in the fifties where way, where you have no one to talk
- 1:42:20to when you clearly do not not the Zoe Quinn's even a fucking goth.
- 1:42:27She's a blue head, fucking narcissist, and she she hasked a considerable community
- 1:42:32of people to talk to. I mean, are any goth's going to complain
- 1:42:35about cultural appropriation here? No, that's that's that's not what a real goths
- 1:42:43do. And I will I will say, if you are under thirty,
- 1:42:49maybe even hundred forty and your parents aren't goth, you aren't either. M
- 1:42:58there is no such thing as a goth. There are young emos, but
- 1:43:03there are no young goths. You don't have the conditions to be goth.
- 1:43:10Well, none of us have sucked rome in the fifth century, but eighties
- 1:43:15goth that was a totally different thing. Have to be visibly go asio if
- 1:43:21you will, you goose. Those conditions haven't existed. Those those conditions,
- 1:43:30the conditions under which people got labeled goths for wearing dark clothes and listening to
- 1:43:35increasingly depressing death metal and uh, you know, smoking pot and talking about
- 1:43:44how dark the world was getting by the way being right. Um, yeah,
- 1:43:53those those those conditions are gone and they're never coming back, So get
- 1:44:00over it, move on, start your own damn clique, you know,
- 1:44:04start start your own counterculture. Right. There are also no hippies, like
- 1:44:13under the age of sixty. If you're under sixty years old and you call
- 1:44:15yourself a hippie, you are full of shit. Well, I think the
- 1:44:21thing is is that Zoe's not trying to sell herself off as a goth.
- 1:44:27I think that this is like what feminists always do. They take something established,
- 1:44:31they co opt it, and they turn it into something completely different,
- 1:44:35Like she's wearing the skin of Wednesdays. And the thing is too, that's
- 1:44:42feminists are skinwalkers. Yeah, they are. And the thing is this is
- 1:44:45this is really important at least to me as a person who is interested in
- 1:44:49the arts and creativity. Nothing in that synopsis reflects Wednesday Adams or the Adams
- 1:44:56family, like have you if you have act read the strip? So there.
- 1:45:01It originally was a comic strip, okay, that had these you know
- 1:45:04what, three four panels to tell a quick little joke and that was the
- 1:45:09end of it. So there was no plot. It did not develop,
- 1:45:13The characters didn't change, they didn't get older, nothing like that. It
- 1:45:15was supposed to be gags and that's it, right. It was based in
- 1:45:19something kind of macab but it always like walked that mine of you know,
- 1:45:25like there was always implied things, but never like outright you know, uh
- 1:45:30stated things. And then the movies did they carried the same spirit, and
- 1:45:33the television show from the sixties carried the same spirit into it. And what
- 1:45:40Zoe's doing is she's taking a character Wednesday, which by the way, before
- 1:45:45Christina Ricci played her, really didn't do much like if you she was like
- 1:45:49the least important character in the family originally, but whatever, you know,
- 1:45:57Christina Ricci gave the character life. That's that's like she's a favorite basically one
- 1:46:00of minds too. But the whole thing was just gangs. We're talking about
- 1:46:03a family that lives its life backwards that essentially, compared to regular society,
- 1:46:09they don't fit in, right um, And she is claiming in this this
- 1:46:15idea is that Wednesday doesn't feel like she fits in, which again makes no
- 1:46:20sense because the whole point is that the whole family doesn't fit in. They're
- 1:46:25different from everybody else. So like that, yeahs anyone seen that, Yeah
- 1:46:33I didn't. She actually goes to a school of people who don't fit in.
- 1:46:41Like yeah, it's like somebody thought, well, if we just capitalize
- 1:46:45on the popularity of the Harry Potter stuff. We could, you know,
- 1:46:51we take the Adams family and sort of mingle it together with the Harry Potter
- 1:46:55stuff. We could make something that everybody would like and the character was kind
- 1:47:00of cool that there were there were some things in it that were kind of
- 1:47:02cool and and everything, but it sort of went down that path of of
- 1:47:09um. There's a thing that's been happening for quite a while right that,
- 1:47:16you know, woke idealogues have been sort of capitalizing on like of of um
- 1:47:24fanfic writers thinking that that being decent or good at fanfic makes them real writers.
- 1:47:35It doesn't. It doesn't make you a real writer. It makes you
- 1:47:39very good at expanding on somebody else's work in a way that people might enjoy.
- 1:47:45And as long as you admit that's what you're doing, that's okay,
- 1:47:50Like there's not something wrong with that. It's you know, that's your creativity
- 1:47:57at work. But what you're doing is an original. You are expanding on
- 1:48:02someone else's work and it's not a whole new invention, and you're not the
- 1:48:10same as somebody who created a character and setting and a storyline and built other
- 1:48:18characters around that that main character and you know and whatever had had a thing
- 1:48:25that we're going to communicate with this and so on, and didn't borrow somebody
- 1:48:30else's already created format to use to tell it. And unfortunately, because our
- 1:48:36society has kind of accepted over the last maybe twenty years or so, this
- 1:48:43idea that professional fan fiction is as good as new things, or at least
- 1:48:50as good as creativity, real creativity, we've now got a situation where we
- 1:48:57have to accept when it's bad, like when it's poorly done, absolute shit,
- 1:49:04and when politics are inserted into it and a complete bastardization of the thing
- 1:49:12that the person would have been expanding on if they were a good fan fick
- 1:49:15writer. But they're not no expanding on anybody's anything. They're just taking the
- 1:49:23name and one popular detail about it and completely twisting it into something else that
- 1:49:30it never was and never should have been. Well that's I think that's where
- 1:49:33that's what we're seeing here, Yeah, trying to make Wednesday into a feminist
- 1:49:38icon like they they've already they've already done this with you know, there was
- 1:49:43a YouTube channel, I don't know if it still exists called adult Wednesday Adams,
- 1:49:45and that girl that plays her in those sketches is totally a feminist because
- 1:49:51she every episode is about some kind of feminist talking point, like you know,
- 1:49:56like a sexual harassment or the way that men know are entitled to women's
- 1:50:00bodies and shit like that. And I'm like, this doesn't make sense.
- 1:50:03This character is not like this like that, you know, this is she
- 1:50:08They're weird on purpose. They're macabre on a different level. And it's got
- 1:50:12nothing to do with rights. It's got nothing to do with politics. And
- 1:50:15so like was upset about something, Yeah, just take and put them in
- 1:50:23a girly magazine in Uncle Fester's room. Why the fuck would he have that?
- 1:50:28Like like it already assumes that even the men in the family are bad
- 1:50:32men. All that's that's a way of making Uncle Fester creepy. Yeah,
- 1:50:40but not in like the sort of charming fun he was. It's like that's
- 1:50:45another thing, right this And I'm going to take this back to the previous
- 1:50:48story about depression very briefly. I will bet you the people did that interview
- 1:50:54didn't seek out any in cells, just saying probably not, but they would
- 1:50:59compare them go faster to end cells. Of course, although he did have
- 1:51:03a he didn't have a woman in uh one at least one. Yeah,
- 1:51:08and she was she was, she was a black widow, no less.
- 1:51:14Yeah, but I think that was actually based off of m episodes from the
- 1:51:17show where her uncle Fuster was looking for a girlfriend or a wife or something.
- 1:51:21It's been a long time since I've watched the original show. It was
- 1:51:24a little kid, remember that. Anyone want to explore Pugsley as it gets
- 1:51:29older, what goes on with him? Because he was he was just a
- 1:51:32normal kid who I guess in does a masochism with his sister, Like he
- 1:51:42was the one who received the pain. Well, she was the one who
- 1:51:45delivered the pain, I guess, I guess, and won't give a shit
- 1:51:47about Pugsley, which would make him something of a countercultural icon if anyone give
- 1:51:51a shit. Yeah, yeah, they don't really do anything with him.
- 1:51:57But but yeah, here's that. That's kind of like my My point is
- 1:52:00is that, uh, you know, Quinn is going to well she is
- 1:52:04in the process of trying to co opt this character without understanding anything about it.
- 1:52:11Because really, the best thing you can do with the Adams family is
- 1:52:14tell more of these short quippy, you know, stories that sort of like
- 1:52:18point at the absurdity of this family. That's what makes it funny. Like
- 1:52:23watch the old watch the Role Julia movie with Christina Ricci, and tell me
- 1:52:28if the plot even matters. I know there is one because it's still a
- 1:52:30movie, but tell me if it even matters, Like when everything is resolved,
- 1:52:34you know, uh, like literally nothing changes because you're not supposed to
- 1:52:39care about that. You're supposed to laugh at the gags so exactly, which
- 1:52:44they do very well. One of the things that um that I've noticed whenever
- 1:52:49these these people get in and they and they take an existing IP and they
- 1:52:56they they don't want they're not in rested in the IP. No, they're
- 1:53:01not interested in in continuing the story. Unbelievable pattern. They want to talk
- 1:53:06about themselves through something, yes, and they want to take someone has a
- 1:53:12lot of popularity to do it. Yes, And then that's exactly they as
- 1:53:16Sargon has said, they donned the progressive skin suit of this thing that has
- 1:53:21an appeal, that has a baked in audience and goes, why don't you
- 1:53:26love this thing? It looks just like the thing you love, you know,
- 1:53:30even though it's it's merely acting. Is my therapy session? Yeah,
- 1:53:34I foisting upon everyone. They ever wonder what happened to the monsters. The
- 1:53:40monsters was obviously, I mean, there was a rip off of the Adams
- 1:53:45family. Let's face it, Oh the monsters. See the problem? What
- 1:53:47the monsters was that they were a family that loved each other that just happened
- 1:53:54to be weird looking. Well, they were all weird except except they're highly
- 1:54:00deformed. The girl was the normal one. How weird is it that that
- 1:54:08hasn't taken off, because, you know, because then they'd have to go
- 1:54:11like because then they'd have to work on on the premise that the that the
- 1:54:15girl is the normal one. And feminists can't handle that because feminists want to
- 1:54:20believe that women are the exception, the most exceptional exception, the one that
- 1:54:27doesn't feel like she belongs, even in a family that doesn't belong. And
- 1:54:30that's why the Monsters never took off, even it's even especially in the age
- 1:54:36of feminism, because because feminists have to believe that women are the exception of
- 1:54:44the diamond in the rough. As I do know, there was a twenty
- 1:54:48twenty two Munsters movie, right that was a rob zombie thing. Yeah,
- 1:54:54it was one of the worst movies that Yeah, it was. Yeah,
- 1:55:00well it was it was Rob Zombie. Yeah. Well the thing is what
- 1:55:04the Munsters the only this is the way it has to work is and Rob
- 1:55:09Zombie is not capable of doing this because the only thing he knows how to
- 1:55:11do is dysfunction. Um. The Munster's family was the tightest knit nuclear family,
- 1:55:18like like it was based on you know, like the most like the
- 1:55:23I'm sorry, the least the most functional or least dysfunctional family. It just
- 1:55:28so happened that they were monsters, but they loved each other. It wasn't
- 1:55:30like the Adams Is where they were you know, you got this sense that
- 1:55:34like they're always plotting to like kill each other or torture each other, and
- 1:55:38they got and they enjoyed it like they were they got into it. No,
- 1:55:42the Munsters were not like that. They were like like the Brady Bunch
- 1:55:45or some other loving family. They just happened to be monsters. So the
- 1:55:48only way you could do it is you would have to you'd have to present
- 1:55:53them as a functional family where there's no you know, there's no abuse,
- 1:55:57there's no dysfunction, there's nothing weird going on, but they also are you
- 1:56:01know, Universal Studios monsters, And I don't think that Hollywood can do that
- 1:56:06because you have to give us a family that loves each other, you know,
- 1:56:12um and uh that yeah, that's the only way that work. Anyway,
- 1:56:15You wouldn't be able to find anybody to replace most of those actors like
- 1:56:18Fred gwyn and the guy who played Grandpa. Um, good luck with that.
- 1:56:24Maybe de Vito that might work possible. What one of the things.
- 1:56:29I think it's really sad that I think the Adams family really could make a
- 1:56:32comeback in current year because they're they're they're they're transgressive now, but for all
- 1:56:41the opposite reasons, Like you look at them when they came out, you
- 1:56:44know, in the nineties, is gonna get this I'm gonna get this name
- 1:56:47wrong in the or I'm gonna get this date wrong. In the fifties and
- 1:56:50sixties, the people of the sixties are like, Wow, what a what
- 1:56:57a weird what a strange family they they have, you know, strange pets,
- 1:57:01and they all dressed in black, and they're so mccabb and the and
- 1:57:05violence and oh man, this is nuts. And then current year would be
- 1:57:09the same area, well, a similar reaction. People would look and go,
- 1:57:12Wow, what a strange family, what a crazy family. They love
- 1:57:15each other there, the mother and father are still together. They have two
- 1:57:20children that that both seem to love and admire them. How crazy is that
- 1:57:25No one does that? Yeah, you're right, that would be weird.
- 1:57:30And by the ways, props to Jenny Ortega, by the way, who
- 1:57:34played Wednesday and Wednesday. Yeah, because apparently she pushed back. She got
- 1:57:41a lot of shit for it from not just from writers, not just from
- 1:57:45writers and the people she worked with from like literal like fucking podcasters that do
- 1:57:48reviews and shows. Like they were basically calling her toxic because she wanted to
- 1:57:54be as true to the character as possible yea, even though they wanted to
- 1:57:57give her a lesbian love interest. And her response to that was simply,
- 1:58:00Wednesday doesn't do love interests. She doesn't do love right. This is definitely
- 1:58:06uh like, obviously she's a true professional um And and this is where like
- 1:58:14when you hear um a woman getting called toxic by these people, by the
- 1:58:19Wolke mob, it's almost always for being accountable or well, in this instance,
- 1:58:30I mean that that's accountable, like she is when you are an entertainer
- 1:58:33who portrays an existing character, you are a steward of um, the trueness
- 1:58:42of the character. Right, you can actually either warp that character in response
- 1:58:47to request or demands, or you can you can gate keep that character and
- 1:58:54say, wait a minute, no, this this, this character would never
- 1:58:57do this. And it takes a true professional to care enough about what they're
- 1:59:03doing to to fight back against demands to to make those more changes in everything.
- 1:59:11Yeah, that's why. And we need we need more Andry cavils.
- 1:59:19Yeah, we need more. We need more gena ortegas, and we need
- 1:59:24more Henry Cavils. And I have to wonder how often because when they say
- 1:59:29toxic when it's a woman, and when it's a man, they treat him
- 1:59:31like he's aggressive and frightening, yeah, harassing and stuff like that. And
- 1:59:39I have to wonder how often, um, you know, like either woke's
- 1:59:43or women in general, like feminist in particular, treat a man as though
- 1:59:48he's aggressive and threatening when he's actually just being accountable. YEA, well,
- 1:59:58I just want that. I gotta share this one thing. A lot of
- 2:00:02people don't know. I learned this a couple of weeks ago and it's it's
- 2:00:05really great. Um So. In the ninety one Adams Family movie The Angel,
- 2:00:12Jelica Houston Rawl Juliet Christopher Lloyd One Pugsley is played by an actor named
- 2:00:18Jimmy Workman. I don't expect anyone to know that name. But he's a
- 2:00:24guy. You know, even though you might not know him. If you've
- 2:00:28ever seen the stereotypical Podora Neckbeard Pitcher, oh no, that's the same guy.
- 2:00:35Oh shit, dude, I put it in live show. I put
- 2:00:39it in ye. I gotta share this and it's funny. He didn't even
- 2:00:45know he was a meme and then he he learned from he learned of it,
- 2:00:48and he's like, this is great. I love this. I love
- 2:00:51that I'm I'm famous again. And apparently the um the story of this comes
- 2:00:56from. Uh. He was doing some head shots because he was a child
- 2:01:00actor initially, and you know, he was an actor later in life as
- 2:01:05well, and he was taking some heads He was doing some head shots because
- 2:01:09of course, you know, you're your noble in Hollywood unless you have some
- 2:01:11head shots to pass around. Get your name out there, get your face
- 2:01:15out there. Yeah, and he did it with with a friend and the
- 2:01:18friends like a, well, we got a couple of pictures on the role
- 2:01:20left and he's like, let's just do some funny ones. Oh god,
- 2:01:24and this was one of the funny ones. That's amazing, that's funny.
- 2:01:28That's the same dude. Guys. Yes, he is the Fedora guy,
- 2:01:32Hugsy the Reddit uh, the Reddit guy. All right, um, thanks,
- 2:01:41that was a nice bit of trivia I did not know about. He's
- 2:01:44he's going to be remembered long after Christian Richie is dead and buried. Yes,
- 2:01:49he's immortal. He's immortalized now. So we're gonna go into the after
