  SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to give you guys a little preview of some of the tools that I have now.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: This is what our actually.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: Can you make it smaller?
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't size in here in the middle.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: But I mean, I mean, my eyesight's OK and I still can't read that.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Hang on.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Let me go.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Let me put on my magnifiers.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Hang on.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's also small on the screen just because the screen itself looks small.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: Let me maximize it though.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you get your chronically yelling out, your panel talk you do on Mondays.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: So this is a public creator calendar that is part of the broadband or system.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: And this is our public view for the network calendar.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: So right now it shows my shows because I'm the one who's building and onboarding it.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: As you can all see, I have a fairly busy schedule.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: And it does a good job at showing like we have our canceled show for Time for Life yesterday.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: And there's this really cool little pop up.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Which gives your, just like most calendars, they've got their calendar pop-ups.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: But it gives your links to where to watch it on either Substack, Twitch, or Kik.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to be exposing some host details.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: So like this one is for, I'll do one.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'll actually do ours for today.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Daogeny's Club.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: Ta-da.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: We've got our Diogenes Club,
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: we've got our Substack Show link, our Twitch link, our Kick link.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: If you clicked on my profile, it would actually bring you to my Substack page.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to work on having these open up into expandings.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Expanded modals that let you click on any of our social links.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: So anybody who has a social link that's visible for the public,
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: you'd be able to click on it and it'll route you to.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to have these series links drive
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: to whatever people want their default series hosting location to be.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: So if your default series is, say, on YouTube, it'll have YouTube.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: It'll bring you to the YouTube podcast page,
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: or if it's on Substack,
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: it'll bring you to the Substack podcast so
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: that you can quickly find your favorite creators.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: You can also look at it in a week view so it's a little bit easier.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: You can filter down by what brands you want to look at, which creators you want to watch.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: But on our internal side, this is where I do all my posting.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Nice.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Or you can post to Blue Sky Threads in Substack.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: I like it.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Or Instagram.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm working on threads in Instagram.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: Those are actually in beta testing right now because the app itself on
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: the Facebook side and meta side requires its own verifications and validations
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: and all of those things.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: But you have the ability to manage your series in one spot.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: You can manage which brands you're a part of, the networks that you belong to.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: And if you have any action campaigns, we're working on our action site.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: So there's a lot.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Of good stuff going on here.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: There's a little bit of breaking news going on right now.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they should stop that shit.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: No breaking news.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: Huh?
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: No more breaking news.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: No more breaking news?
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: Say this breaking news.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: Breaking news.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: This is a Fox News alert.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: No, so because Blanche doesn't have the votes to be confirmed,
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: Trump is actually talking about withdrawing him until
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: after two GOP senators have retired.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm thinking that this is going to be like a lame duck approval,
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: like he's going to pass after the elections.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: So that's that.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_01: Breaking news.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: That's breaking news.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: The other breaking news is.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so the breaking news is in Florida two days ago.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: So there is a Republican State House Representative by the name of,
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: I think, Lisa Stark, who's out in Orlando, Kissimmee St.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: Cloud area, who is in Congressional District 47.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: I put this up earlier today,
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: that basically she did not meet the deadline to file her financial disclosure with
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_01: the state.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: And thereby immediately is disqualified from the primary election ballot.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: And per Florida rule,
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: because she disqualifies and was the only Republican running,
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: the seat automatically turns over to the Democratic winner of the primary
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: on August 18th.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: There, a little bit of extra breaking news.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: GOP disqualifies themselves from Florida primary.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, like, because they're unforced error.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, so that's going to flip the state level.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the only other stuff was the Fauci shit yesterday,
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: which really just as a health care professional,
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: as in public health, was just fucking just completely insulting to watch.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: It was moronically insulting to listen to.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: Like, To listen to Rand Paul and Ron Johnson, let alone Bernie Marino.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: But to listen to Rand Paul hammer away at Fauci on shit that was debunked four years ago.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: And pulling like leak site CIA stuff that was never followed up on and trying to like play.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, this is the plan.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, this is their plan for the fall.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: They're going to relitigate 2020.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_01: And they're going to scapegoat Anthony Fauci.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: This is the plan for the fall.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's not about food prices.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: It's not about gas.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's not about our national security.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's not about health care.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: This is what they're going to run on.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: This is it.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_01: They have exposed the playbook.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: And literally, if we can't win 80% of the seats,
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: If the left cannot win 80% of these seats, then we are.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_01: These are like the Americans are just stupid.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: I you know, I don't care what the redistricting shit did.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: This is about people being able to not have food deserts where they live.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: And losing their homes and their kids having food in school when the fall comes
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: and having the fact that,
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: we're getting
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: their kids be able to have vaccines when they need them
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: for things like measles, mumps, rubella.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: Not that anybody's died from measles this year.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: Not like we have explosive diarrhea,
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: diarrhea outbreak,
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: which is I saw somebody say Trump likes to put his name all over everything.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: So we should call this the Trump, Trump diarrhea epidemic.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: Or Trump Diarrhea Syndrome.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: So we've got TDS on the books as something.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: Because this is Trump's fault.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_01: This is the Trump
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: regime's fault.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: Trump is a symptom.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: This is the GOP's fault.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: This is the entire political apparatus of culture warring and lack of governing.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: And actually, not even a lack of governing.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: How about not even interested in governing?
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: It's a party that
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's a political movement that is enshrined on wealth and power and hurting somebody
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: and people who are not like them.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: And they do not care.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: They literally do not give a fucking rat's ass about you or me.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even think they care about their own kids.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: If they cared about their own kids,
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_01: then Bernie Marino would be defending his daughter Against the piece
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: of shit Republican congressman who's her ex-husband who beat the shit out of her.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: And he'd be saying something,
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: which basically means that the seat is more important than his daughter.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: And that tells you everything you need to know about character.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Power to these people is more important than anything else.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, we need to call it what it is.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: These are eugenics policies.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: These are eugenics practices.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: And RFK Jr. is a eugenicist.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: Ian Miller is a eugenicist.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: Let's forget what RFK is doing.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just blame Fauci for everything.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's just blame Fauci because we're fucking stupid.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and they're going to blame Biden for everything that's going on.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Again, they're re-litigating 2020 over and over and over again because they
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: lost
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: and Trump can't ever admit that he lost anything.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: And so he's going to bury this into the ground until it's finally done.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: And it's going to do a lot of damage in the process while he's doing it.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: Already done damage.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's already done a lot of damage.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: And they're doing all of this to also keep us from trying to protect our own rights.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like, they...
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: All of this on top of the disability attacks that they're doing.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: And there's your segue to Olmstead.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: There's the segue to Olmstead.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: I knew you were going to
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: say it.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: You were going
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: to say it.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: I was going to say it at some point because this is a segue into the next steps.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: Right down there.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: There's a tiny URL.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: There is a QR code that we've got.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: Go to, click on the, let me actually change it to the Lobby Day one.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: Go to the Crip Crow Lobby Day URL.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: Sign up at the tiny URL.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: Become someone who is going to sign up to train.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: And then go to an in person lobby event.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: So on sign ups are by October 11th,
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: our lobby days
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: or sorry, August 11th, our lobby days on August 25th.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's a Tuesday.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to be planning in person lobby days.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: Our goal, which we are not at, which we need everyone's help here is sign up.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: Our goal is to have one person in every office,
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: every Representative and every senator's office.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: We need one person for.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: And it doesn't have to be in D.C. You can do it at your local congressional.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: These are all in your local district offices.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: We are choosing this time because they are at home during this window.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: They're still supposed to be.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: They have local office and regional office days already assigned for these types of things.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're going to utilize that by doing it in the middle of a week on
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: a day we know that they're there.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: And if they're not there,
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: go sit and talk with their staffers, because the point is you need to sign up.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Naida is our friend Naida Green of Disability Community for Democracies in the chat
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: with the tiny URL for...
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: Say no to Crip Lobby Day.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: You can also use the QR code on the screen.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: We've got the URL scanning bottom of the screen here, too.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: I will include the URL in our post-show notes,
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: as I always do, so they're easy to find and follow.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: The ask is sign up because the first part of this is you get training.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: What kind of
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_01: training, sir?
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: You're going to get training on how to actually talk to your representative or your senator.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: We're not going to get Army training?
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: Not going to get army training.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: You're going to get training on how to simply, clearly and effectively tell your story.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: Tell why Olmstead is important to you.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: Why keeping forced institutionalization illegal is important to you
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: and why we should codify it into law because it impacts everyone.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Like we need to say no to Crip Crow together.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: And democracy is a team sport.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like we win this together.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: And the only way we do this is together.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: So Naida and team at Disability Community for Democracy have put together the Say No
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: to Crip Lobby Day.

  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, so, yeah, so everybody like, listen, disability affects everybody.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_01: And it's not physical.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's not just mental.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's learning.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's autism.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's speech disabled.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's hearing disabled.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's sensory disabled.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's, you know, I mean, listen,
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: any of us could get hit by it could be in a car accident tomorrow
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: and become disabled.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: So it doesn't just happen.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: Even if you never become disabled.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Accessibility and equity.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, even somebody that works with an orthopedic cane or
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_01: an assisted device is technically disabled.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: This impacts all of us,
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: even if you're not disabled,
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: like this will impact you because the step
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: after reallowing forced institutionalization
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: and they have laid it out pretty clearly what that next step is,
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: because now they're going to start using AI predictive profiling to replace policing
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: so that they can target
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: Notwithstanding that we don't even have the facilities.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: No, we do.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: They're called warehouses.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: We're not institutionalizing people anymore.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_00: We're warehousing and concentrating them.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: They just don't have the infrastructure.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: They have the buildings,
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: but they don't have the infrastructure set up to physically do this yet.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: And that's scary.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Not to keep you alive, anyway.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: They don't give a shit about the step two.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's step one they want.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: Two clergy people they arrested already.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's clergy who were arrested by ICE and deported and they already
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_01: and they had their visas.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: They were legally allowed to be here.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: And this is I mean, I mean,
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: everybody, listen,
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_01: if you are I don't care,
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: like what party you're from,
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: like this is this is absolutely literally the most un-American.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's it's beyond Jim Crow.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's Confederacy and patriarchy and turning the clocks back to like the 14th century.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_01: OK. You know, it's not even like we talked about this last week, I think, very briefly.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's not even about Nazi fascism anymore.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's going way beyond even earlier than that.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's like fiefdoms.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_01: And serfs and where there is what they want.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: They want tech fiefdoms.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's fiefdoms.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_01: And the billionaire class is the fiefdom.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: like the next what they want to do is move us from the United States of America to
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: the United Corporations of America or the United Fiefdoms of America
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: because they want.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: Rule.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: Each of the tech overlords wants rule over a region of the Americas.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not just talking about the states any longer.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: They want control over the entire hemisphere, the entirety of the Americas.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: They want to warehouse people.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_00: In the millions because they believe in a eugenics philosophy of Curtis Yarvin that
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: the U.S. is overpopulated by about two thirds, which is roughly 240 million people.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: 100 million white men and three white women to birth everybody.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: And then once you're of a certain age and you're a white woman, you have no more use for them.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: They have no more use for you.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: They'll kill you.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: Their prime age is probably between 13 and 25.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: Let's say that's their prime age.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: Modern medicine, 32, 33, 34.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but they don't believe in modern medicine.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: They don't care about modern medicine.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: They do only for certain babies are going to die because they won't be vaccinated anyway.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: So, and if they do any of these in Texas, they'll be dead before they hit maternal age anyway.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they don't care about that as long as rich white people
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: or rich billionaires can have babies.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: They don't really care about the rest of us.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: As long as we're just having babies and pumping them out, that's really what they want.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_00: They want women barefoot in the house producing babies.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_00: In their trad wife outfits,
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: pretending to be happy,
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: hopefully not murdering their husbands because there was a lot of family destruction
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: in the 50s that nobody
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: ever talks about.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: This is like a whole nother version of it.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's not even Handmaid's Tale.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_00: This is like,
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_00: we're wrapping the Handmaid's Tale Minority Report in 1984 all into
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: a single ugly package.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: And Gattaca.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_00: And Gattaca, yeah.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: We're wrapping all of that into a single weird package of Neo-Confederate America
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_00: that wants to take away all our rights.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's because we didn't fucking bury the Confederacy when they had the chance after the war.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: They never,
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_01: ever penalized the Confederacy after after the Civil War like we did with
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_01: the Germans,
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: like we did with the Japanese to make sure that this shit wouldn't happen again.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: And we allowed it.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: We allowed these people to go back and serve in public office and
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: to run their their plantations and run their companies and continue,
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: you know, a different version of this of the triangle trade.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: and and if you look at if you I put a post up yesterday,
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: it was like it was during Cliff and David show yesterday on Substack on YouTube.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: It was is the four states that have the highest Trump approval numbers.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_01: Highest Virginia.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oklahoma.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: Idaho.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: Those are the top five.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: Makes sense.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: But Idaho makes perfect sense.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_01: It was the highest at 52%.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody else was sub 50.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: So it's not like people in these states don't get it.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: I just think what happens is they walk into the polling place and instead
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_01: of thinking about what's good for them economically,
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: what's good for their children,
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: what's good for their grandchildren,
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: what's good for their community,
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_01: they get into this culture war bullshit in their head and say, oh, Fauci bad.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: Vote red.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh, Jews bad.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_01: Vote red.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh, Christian's bad, vote red.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_01: Even Joe Rogan is starting to question.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: Look at Alex Jones, he called for his impeachment of all fucking people.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: The thing is they're trying to find a way to move on from Trump while keeping
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: the movement together because he's their figurehead and he's the one
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_00: who brought them all together.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: What happens next for them?
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that's the thing.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: Joe Rogan and Alex Jones are total douchebags.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_00: They're just fucking awful people.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: They are awful people.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care about them.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want their approvals.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: But if we're agreeing on this, that Trump needs to be gone, that's a good thing.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: Trump isn't the issue.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_00: No, I know.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's the people behind him.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's the Peter Thiels.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's the You know,
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_01: it's this whole billionaire tech bro consortium,
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: and that's what they are,
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_01: they're a consortium, okay, that are funding all of this movement.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: It started with the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch with the media,
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_01: Sinclair,
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: you know, and all these companies that are, now it's moved into tech, all right?
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_01: And it's just,
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: you see, I mean, listen,
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: For those of you that don't know,
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_01: and Nick, I'm gonna do a little segue here and we'll come back to this, okay?
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_01: So for those of you that don't really understand how
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: the federal healthcare system works, and I'm gonna do this in 30 seconds.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: So last week,
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: every year,
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: every July,
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: the government has to release the fee schedules for different aspects of
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: the Medicare system.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_01: So they release the outpatient system, which governs hospital outpatient services.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_01: Then they release the physician fee schedule and then the hospital fee schedule.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: So there's an inpatient fee schedule,
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: an outpatient fee schedule, and then a physician fee schedule.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: By statutory law,
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: hospitals,
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: home health,
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: hospice, outpatient hospital services get a 2.4% increase statutory by law.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_01: Physicians are the ones they keep cutting.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_01: OK, so the doctors that you go see,
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: if you're a Medicare beneficiary,
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_01: the ones that you go to their offices or you go to an outpatient laboratory center
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_01: or you go to your local radiology center or you go for ambulatory surgery.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_01: OK, just whatever you do,
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: that's a non-hospital,
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_01: non-facility outpatient medicine,
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_01: which is like 95 percent of where people get their care.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_01: Those services are getting drastically slammed in half.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm looking overall,
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_01: it started at 4%,
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: but when you start adding in all the surgical reductions for like surgical features,
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: it's almost like anywhere between 30 and 60% reduction in fee schedule.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: So what you're going to see happening around the world,
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_01: around the country,
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: excuse me,
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: not the world,
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: is you are going to see providers going non-participating with Medicare,
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_01: Because they didn't get the numbers of people to sign on to Medicare disadvantage.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_01: They wanted like 80% of the population on Medicare advantage so they could privatize it.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: Because they didn't get to 80%, they're like at 53, they went after the physician.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_01: So now they're going to create an access point problem.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_01: So how this rolls into what we were talking about earlier is the eugenics
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_01: of public policy by The very wealthy billionaire class who are running
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: the hospital systems,
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: who are running the lobby groups,
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: who are running the AIs,
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_01: who are running the,
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: who are running the pharma systems and everything funnels into the hospital because
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: the hospitals have the largest lobby in the country.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's hospitals, pharma, military.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_01: Those are the top three.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_01: So by everything funneling in that way,
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: you are basically cutting the physicians like me and my colleagues out of
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_01: the system, creating an access point problem, because they don't give a shit.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_01: They do not care if people don't get care.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_01: They would rather have the Medicare population die off,
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: which goes back to what we were talking about with,
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: this is how they start removing this excess population that they believe in.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_01: By getting rid of the older people,
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_01: by getting rid of the people who are on Medicare disability and Medicaid disability.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_01: Remember, they're going to cut a billion dollars from Medicaid next year.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_01: That's when the big,
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_01: beautiful bill hits and everybody's going to get sticker shock
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_01: when they see what happens.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_01: Forget the fact that we've been warning about it and I was writing about it at
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_01: the end of last year before they passed the bill.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_01: But when all this stuff starts to come and there's no more Medicaid block grants to
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: the states and people can't get services.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: And all of a sudden community home based disability care gets cut
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_01: and home care services get cut and people can't who are
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_01: on Medicaid can't get services.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_01: And then there's the Medicare beneficiaries can't go see their physicians
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_01: because their physicians don't take Medicare anymore and they don't want to pay cash
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_01: and wait for the government to reimburse them.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_01: You're creating an access problem,
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_01: you're creating a you are manufacturing
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_01: A broken health care system that's even more disarray than before.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_01: So whoever comes in afterward,
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_01: the only option to do is to blow up the whole system and go
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_01: to universal health care.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_01: Of which the next Republican administration will come in and blow that up.
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_01: This is how broken everything is, folks, and we're just talking about one sector of our lives.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_01: We're not talking about immigration.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_01: We're not talking about the banking system.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_01: We're not talking about, you know, agriculture.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_01: Think about every department of the executive branch.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_01: They have fucked up deliberately to privatize,
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_01: to cut the workforce,
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_01: to make it impossible to trace and track,
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_01: and to basically eugenicize the entire population through the lack
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_01: of government agencies.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_01: Look what they're doing with FEMA.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_01: Look what he's decided to do with just funding for disaster relief.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_01: And we're going into hurricane season.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_00: So... Well, you didn't even mention the...
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_01: Not waking up for the 81 of you watching our feed right now
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_01: and however many people are eventually going to see this
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_01: and maybe some people will see this.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_01: Wake the fuck up.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_01: We have been warning and telling you that shit's coming and it's already here.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's at our shores.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: And now it's at your front door.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there's not really like...
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_01: At this point, I was like starting to slide out of frame.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, I'm like drifting.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I'm getting all amped up and excited over here.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_00: I also changed our frame a little bit.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_01: I see that.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_01: You shorten the frame.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, wait a minute.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_01: What am I sitting over here?
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I'm like, I'm on my face.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_00: And like we didn't,
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_00: we haven't even talked about environmental costs that are coming through with all
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: of this and even talk about centers and space launches that they're trying
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_00: to fast track and not have to worry about.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_00: Did you see what Musk got in the contract?
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: Did you see this?
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: Did you see the contract he got?
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_01: He was awarded another $160 billion for I think eight more SpaceX launches.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_00: Which is probably why they just proposed the rule change for the EPA
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: to allow commercial space industry to skirt and go around environmental laws
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_00: because they don't give a shit about us, which is why we have to work together.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_00: Again, most people have no idea what's going on because they are...
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_00: Overwhelming us.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_00: You are being overwhelmed with issues coming at you so that you cannot focus on
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_00: a single one and actually do something about it.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_00: That being said, there are a lot of us.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_00: We can focus together on individual issues and each of us stay focused
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_00: on our target areas and then we can actually do a lot of good.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_00: We have to One, we have to educate people on what is actually going on.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_00: And we have to be the plan to show them how to get out of it.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_00: Like we have to offer a real solution on what forward means,
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_00: because a lot of people are going to get really hit really hard even before
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_00: the election.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_00: And if they don't see why they should be voting for somebody else or If they're MAGA
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_00: and why they should be abstaining from voting.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care if certain people abstain from voting.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_00: If we can convince people who are far MAGA to just not vote for now,
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_00: because they have bad options and they don't want to vote Democrat,
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_00: but they don't really like the Republican either, that's good too.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_00: Having some people not vote Right now, by choice, not by regulation, is a good thing.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_00: We want to have people choose to not vote that don't want to, that don't really care.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_00: The rest of us need to be engaged because there's millions of independents
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_00: and Democrats and Republicans who didn't fucking vote.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_00: And those are the ones we should be caring about because they're the ones
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: who aren't actually getting any of this information yet are being hit the hardest
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: by it.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_01: So this, this brings up the conversation about candidate selection.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_01: Because that's what leads into this, right?
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_01: So there's a lot of contested primaries around the country with whether you want
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_01: to call them DSAs versus traditional left center Democrats or center Democrats,
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_01: like in Michigan, for example.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_01: Here's the reality.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_01: When you're polling and you're a DSA candidate and you're 10 points behind
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_01: the Republican nominee or the Republican who's going to probably win the primary,
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_01: you're not the candidate for that particular election.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_01: If you are not a few points ahead of the Republican candidate,
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_01: that means that your ideology isn't sitting well with people across the aisles.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_01: And this cannot be an I,
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_01: this cannot, this election, in my opinion, cannot be an ideology election.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_01: This is an election to save the union.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_01: It's an election to save our rights.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's an election to save our children.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's an election to save ourselves.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_01: This infighting bullshit about ideology,
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_01: about having a DSA candidate over a left center candidate versus
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_01: a center Democrat versus a right center Democrat or whatever.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_01: That's a bullshit argument.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's a bullshit conversation.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_01: It's a legitimate conversation, but it's not one that we need to be having right now.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_01: If we can elect somebody who's plus five on a Republican candidate,
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_01: even as detestable as they may be because they take a pack money
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_01: or however you personally feel about their stance on Israel or health care or pharma
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_01: or whatever it is,
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_01: or they take this much pack,
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_01: they take they're taking this much pack money versus this.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_01: OK, that's not the argument to be having right now.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_01: This is about winning as many goddamn seats as possible.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_01: To neutralize the Trump administration,
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_01: to neutralize all the shit that's going on right now,
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_01: because we need massive oversight.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_01: We need massive, basically, to stop.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_01: Because here's the reality.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_01: If we don't win 52 Senate seats, here's the math for everybody.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_01: If we do not win 52 Senate seats, let's just say it's 51.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_01: What do you think Fetterman's going to do?
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_01: He's going to jump ship.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_01: And now it's 50 50.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_01: And guess who breaks the goddamn tie?
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_01: Mm hmm.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_01: OK. And what do you think happens to Alito and Thomas?
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_01: They're both going to retire and they're going to get two more justices
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_01: for another 25 years on the bench on a 51 50 vote.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_01: Or a 50 50 vote with a tie break.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_01: But if we get 52, then Fetterman can leave all he wants and it doesn't matter.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: You neutralize Fetterman.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, this is about winning both houses of Congress for the oversight.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, this is a strategic election.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_01: Elections fucking matter.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_01: This is it right here.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_01: Because imagine the shit we're going to be in if Trump has five fucking justices on
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_01: that bench that he's nominated.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_01: We are fucked for another 30 years.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's a lot harder to dislodge someone who Is on the bench than to stop them
• 37:18
  SPEAKER_00: from getting on the bench.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_00: Like Brett Kavanaugh should have never gotten on the bench.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_00: Tony Barrett should have never gotten on the bench.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_01: And that's on Susan Collins and Murkowski and Mitch McConnell and all of the back deals.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_01: How's Mitch doing these days?
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_00: Where is Mitch?
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_00: Where's Mitch these days?
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't seen much of Mitch.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_01: I know where Mitch is.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_01: He's in a skilled nursing facility.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_01: Not functioning.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_00: Moscow Mitch ain't coming back.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_00: Missing Moscow Mitch is going to be missing.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_01: I wrote that yesterday.
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_01: He's not coming back.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_01: If they haven't after 46 days shown any proof of functional existence,
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_01: he ain't coming back, everybody.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_01: Bashir just needs to fill the goddamn seat,
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_01: let the GOP sue him on the back end of it,
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_01: and fight it out in the court system and make that law unconstitutional and have
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_01: that fight in Kentucky.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, and I'll make sure it's clear, too.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_00: AIPAC is a problem.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_00: APAC itself is a problem.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_00: So are every other PAC, basically.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_00: PACs are a huge problem because money buys politics in America.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_00: It always has.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_00: It always has.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_00: We should never shy away from that truth.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_00: Money has always played a huge
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_01: part in American politics
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_00: because we have never put
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_00: the guardrail in place that says you can only be capped.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_00: At a certain amount of money per race like and that money comes from public funds
• 38:43
  SPEAKER_00: and you are not like Australia does like we could remodel the way that we put money
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_00: into politics that would be a way that would change the game fundamentally.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, a pack is a problem, a very big problem for a while.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_00: They are not the only problem.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_00: To be honest,
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm tired of hearing about APAC,
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: not because they're not a problem,
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_00: but because it's the only PAC anyone ever focuses on.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm sorry to say this, but there are much worse groups out there than APAC.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_00: APAC is bad.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_00: The Heritage Foundation is a fucking PAC.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_00: They have their own PAC.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_00: Koch Brothers have PACs.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_00: We should be focusing on those
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_01: as well.
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_01: And the Tech Broarchy PACs.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to make sure this is super,
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_00: super, super clear because I know people are going to come at me for saying this.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_00: A PAC is a huge problem.
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_00: And so are the other PACs that are doing the same fucking damage and buying our democracy.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_00: One small nation is not the same weight as the fucking NRA or
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_00: the Heritage Foundation or PragerU.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_00: Or Liberty University.
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_00: Or any of these ultra-nationalist, dominionist groups.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because the true enemy in America is the dominionist threat.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_00: And the dominionist capture of our government.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_00: Probably, Daphne, that's a great question.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_00: Would we be in another war if it wasn't AIPAC?
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_00: Abso-fucking-lutely.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_00: We would, because the Dominionists don't need AIPAC to demand a war in the Middle East.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_00: We would probably be in the same fucking war,
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_00: honestly,
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_00: in the Middle East, because it's not Netanyahu who solely demands that war.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_00: We are taking all of the blame for what America is doing and saying it's Israel's fault.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_00: America pays for Israel.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's our fucking fault.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's our fault as Americans.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_00: Let's fix our own fucking house because when we do that,
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_00: we will fix other houses in the process.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's how it fucking works is when we stop exporting the fascism, fascism stops being exported.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_00: We are the problem.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_00: We are the purveyors of this.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_00: We make AIPAC illegal.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_00: We make other PACs illegal too.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_00: And that problem disappears.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_00: The only way we get there is if we vote and we win because this election is
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_00: about human rights and the direction our country is going is are we going to be
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_00: a fascist nation or are we going to remain a semi-functional republic?
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_00: And then can we move to a fully functional republic?
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_00: Like we have to do this step by step by step.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm tired of hearing that AIPAC is the only fucking problem.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_01: I want to give you a list of the other PACs that are the problem.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_01: OK,
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: so these are the top nine PACs that donated 50 percent or better to the Republicans
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_01: in the last elections like
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_00: Let me guess.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_00: One of them is a health insurance or a pharmaceutical pack.
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, you're getting there.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_01: So it's the National Association of Realtors.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_01: Makes sense.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_01: And why was that?
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_01: Because of what was on,
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_01: they passed that bill last year on the whole realtor thing,
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_01: you know, was selling houses.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_01: Then you had the National Beer Wholesalers Association.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_00: I thought Bud Light was gay.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I thought.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_01: I thought they hated Bud Light.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_01: Because I thought they were gay.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_01: Blue Cross Blue Shield.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_01: The Council of Insurance, just everybody wants you to understand.
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_00: Just thinking about it.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_01: Blue Cross Blue Shield.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_01: Listen to the sectors of what industries I'm reading off, okay?
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_01: So you have the National Association of Realtors and America's Credit Unions.
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_01: So America's Credit Unions were at the number 10, but they were at 49.75%, 49.75%.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_00: So we've got housing, we've got health.
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_01: National Association, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_01: APAC, it's 63% to Republicans, by the way.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_01: So just don't blame the Democrats.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's two-thirds to one-third.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_01: In the last election cycle, two-thirds of the money went to Republicans.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_01: The American Banking Association, National Auto Dealers.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_01: Now, at this point, all these numbers are above 66% to the Republicans.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_01: The National Auto Dealers Association, they were at 70%.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_01: The Trump 47 Committee, 100% of it went to Republicans.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_01: And Never Back Down Incorporated at 100%.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_01: So
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_01: like the Never Back Down
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_01: PAC, which I know nothing about is based in Austin, Texas.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_01: The treasurer is Cabell Hobbs and I have no idea what this is.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_01: I've never heard of it up until I just searched it.
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_01: So contributions from the PAC to federal candidates was 100% to Republicans.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_01: It was 5.25 million.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_01: They received $143 million in contributions from individual donors of $200 or more.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_01: Who are these people?
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_01: Well, thank you, Citizens United.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_00: And just remember,
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, there are also lobbying groups and PACs on the left, on the Democratic side.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_01: We need to get rid of all of them.
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_01: Right, never back down.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, this is just going to burn my noodle in half.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, never
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_00: back down.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, they supported DeSantis.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, they did.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, these fucking people.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_00: These fucking people.
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_00: Who the fuck is Cabell Hawks?
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_01: Single owner and candidate for Senate and state treasury super PAC.
• 45:35
  SPEAKER_01: It was established by Ken Cuccinelli.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_01: I wonder if... His primary raiser was Robert Bigelow.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_01: He's an American businessman.
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_01: He owns Budget Suites of America and is the founder of Bigelow Airspace.
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds like those billionaires and mega donors from before
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_00: the elections are getting their payoff.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, they are.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_01: So like I said,
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_01: everybody,
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_01: you want to sit there and you want to basically go after,
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_01: you know, you want to make AIPAC a central argument.
• 46:14
  SPEAKER_01: It is one of one.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's one of God knows how many PACs that are funneling all this dark money because
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_01: of Citizens United.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_01: And don't forget what the Supreme Court just fucking did.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_01: They just affirmed it, right?
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_01: So you're talking about an entire system of funding political candidates
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_01: and races around the country with dark, dark, dark, dark, dark money.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: So there's Hobbes.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_00: Let's make AIPAC the fucking issue.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_00: Let's look at this Hobbes individual for a second.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_00: Wake up.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_00: Hobbs was the,
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_00: so another committee created by John Bolton,
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_00: who was National Security Advisor under former Donald President, DJT.
• 47:04
  SPEAKER_00: Hobbs was the committee's treasurer record show when it was accused
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_00: of unlawfully working with foreign nationals employed by Cambridge Analytica,
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_00: a consulting firm that was later found to have misused personal data harvested
• 47:16
  SPEAKER_00: from Facebook.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_00: So this dude has worked with foreign Nationals,
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: which
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: is not foreign intelligence systems, formerly employed by Cambridge Analytica.
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_00: He was part of,
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_00: he's part of a national security threat,
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_00: and he's just sending fucking money to Republicans, to DeSantis, to others.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_00: Like, where does that money come from is a great question.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_00: You're right, Christina, that's a great point.
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_00: I would take AIPAC over the tech packs.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_00: I just want to make a... And I want to, again, make it really, really, really clear.
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_00: AIPAC is a threat to Jewish Americans.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_00: Because it is putting our lives in danger.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_00: As a Jewish American, I find AIPAC to be despicable.
• 48:15
  SPEAKER_00: And...
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_00: Because I can hold two truths at once.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_00: I find the other packs just as, if not more, despicable.
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_00: Because not only are they making Jewish Americans less safe,
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_00: they're making all Americans less safe.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not just about one group of us.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_00: They are making all of us less safe.
• 48:40
  SPEAKER_00: And we have to talk about all of them.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_00: We have to stop Playing into their game.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_00: Their game is to make all of us hate Jewish people.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_00: Because part of the Dominionist plan is to begin Armageddon,
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_00: which the only way that they can do that is gather all the Jews into Israel and
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_00: then kill them.
• 49:09
  SPEAKER_00: So we are playing into their game.
• 49:13
  SPEAKER_00: And this is an old focus only on Jews.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_00: Nick, this is an old, this is an old fucking game.
• 49:21
  SPEAKER_00: This is nothing new.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_01: The Romans did it.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_01: The Greeks did it.
• 49:25
  SPEAKER_01: The Sumerians did it.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_01: The Babylonians.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I mean, this is an old.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_00: The Spanish English did it.
• 49:31
  SPEAKER_00: The Germans did it.
• 49:32
  SPEAKER_00: The Russians did it.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like, this is an old game to solely blame.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_00: The Jewish people for the problem.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_00: If you notice, again,
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_00: if you notice when we talk about most of these issues,
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_00: what is the one country that comes up every single time?
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's Israel.
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_00: Israel isn't the only nation committing genocide.
• 49:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's having video problems.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_00: Israel isn't the only nation massacring specific groups of people.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_00: There are other nations doing the exact same thing right fucking now.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_00: But we only focus on Israel because,
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_00: yes, there is a large Jewish population in the United States.
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_00: And Bibi's motivation is to stay out of jail,
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_00: to stay out of The Hague,
• 50:22
  SPEAKER_00: because he will go to The Hague and be tried for war crimes when this war is over.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_00: The fact that he hasn't been arrested yet shows a lot of unprecedented A lot
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_00: of restraint that we shouldn't be having on terrible human beings who are causing
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_00: the genocidal deaths of millions.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_00: The problem in America though, again, are the dominionists.
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_00: Is the far right Christian nationalist threat that calls themselves Zionist,
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_00: that uses words to remove their true meanings.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then take them over.
• 51:06
  SPEAKER_00: They do it with every word.
• 51:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's an authoritarian playbook too.
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like the fascistic playbook is to make words mean nothing.
• 51:13
  SPEAKER_00: And so all we hear are Jews bad guys, Israel bad guy.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, they're doing fucking horrible things in Israel right now.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_00: Genocide horrible things to Palestinians.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_00: Is fucking wrong.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a hundred percent.
• 51:33
  SPEAKER_01: Understandably, in war, there are always civilian casualties, always.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_01: But just because civilians died does not make it a genocide.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm not defending anything.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just making a blanket statement.
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_01: Those of us that have been on the line and sort of this is just a function of war
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_01: that people die.
• 51:51
  SPEAKER_00: Let me correct me.
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let me correct what Ashley you just said in the chat.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's not, Jews are not the only bad guys.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_00: Jews aren't the bad guys.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_00: Fascists are the bad guys.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_00: Anti-humanists are the bad guys.
• 52:09
  SPEAKER_00: Confederates are the bad guys.
• 52:13
  SPEAKER_00: Eugenicists are the bad guys.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_00: You can be of any race, religion, or creed and be part of that group.
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_00: They aren't the sole group, though.
• 52:45
  SPEAKER_00: We have to actually get to the heart of what the problem is.
• 52:49
  SPEAKER_01: Honestly, it's money.
• 52:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's greed.
• 52:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's power.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_01: Those are the evils of society.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's the seven deadly sins.
• 52:56
  SPEAKER_01: This is a human
• 52:58
  SPEAKER_00: rights election.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's a huge right.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's what we're doing.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_00: We are having a human rights election come November.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_01: And right now, I'm sorry, but the amount of genocide that Africans do to Africans...
• 53:15
  SPEAKER_00: Which is also America's.
• 53:18
  SPEAKER_01: And what Europeans have done to Native American Indians and what Americans,
• 53:23
  SPEAKER_01: second generation Americans did to the Native Americans.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, this is as old as human history,
• 53:31
  SPEAKER_01: even in Asia, between the Japanese warlords and fighting.
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_01: This is as old as time itself.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_01: Humans across history, we have a violent history.
• 53:45
  SPEAKER_01: Our entire history is saddled with violent action and violent war
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_01: and violent conflict one after the other.
• 53:55
  SPEAKER_01: And we have not learned from our own goddamn history.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_01: Not one bit.
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_01: We're still making nuclear weapons.
• 54:05
  SPEAKER_01: We're still waging war.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_01: We're still building munitions.
• 54:08
  SPEAKER_01: We're still blowing shit up.
• 54:10
  SPEAKER_01: What haven't we done?
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_01: We haven't done the utopian things We're doing dystopian things because money,
• 54:21
  SPEAKER_01: power and status are more important than health care,
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_01: human rights,
• 54:28
  SPEAKER_01: food security,
• 54:30
  SPEAKER_01: safety of our children,
• 54:32
  SPEAKER_01: educating our children and improving society
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_01: because that's not how they get wealthy.
• 54:39
  SPEAKER_00: Which is, you know, interesting because I bet you they would get wealthier.
• 54:45
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 54:46
  SPEAKER_00: If they actually did the Utopian thing.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like, Mackenzie Scott gives away a lot of her money.
• 54:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_00: And she makes a lot back.
• 54:55
  SPEAKER_00: Like, the Utopian path is very monetarily heavy.
• 55:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you would make a lot of money in a Utopia.
• 55:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's part of it.
• 55:05
  SPEAKER_00: But at that point, money would then become useless.
• 55:07
  SPEAKER_00: And that's part of the problem is they don't want to get to a Star Trek Utopia for the world.
• 55:13
  SPEAKER_00: They want to get to...
• 55:15
  SPEAKER_00: Blade Runner or cyberpunk theme or something like that, like super soldiers style things.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_01: Even when Gene Roddenberry wrote Star Trek,
• 55:28
  SPEAKER_01: the original series, there was still conflict in that series across the board.
• 55:34
  SPEAKER_01: Every episode had conflict.
• 55:37
  SPEAKER_00: But there was also a path towards resolution that didn't require war.
• 55:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like that was a big thing during all of it was, yes, it was an allegory of the Cold War.
• 55:48
  SPEAKER_00: And you know what?
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_00: That war stayed cold for the most part.
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it did.
• 55:53
  SPEAKER_00: Because we had cultural tools that helped us,
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_00: guide us through that and told us we don't need to always be afraid.
• 56:03
  SPEAKER_00: There are better ways to get there.
• 56:08
  SPEAKER_01: But you see the evolution of the Star Trek series.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_01: You don't see that.
• 56:11
  SPEAKER_01: But what was interesting with the way Gene Roddenberry wrote the series and
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_01: the other writers and Alex Kurtzman and how they've developed the series
• 56:20
  SPEAKER_01: through Next Generation and then DS9 and then Enterprise and the movies was
• 56:25
  SPEAKER_01: that there's been this constant evolution of not using violence
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_01: unless absolutely necessary.
• 56:33
  SPEAKER_01: Now, Next Generation, the movies were very violent.
• 56:39
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 56:39
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 56:41
  SPEAKER_01: Especially the ones like First Contact and,
• 56:43
  SPEAKER_01: you know, all those things like that was a violent movie for Star Trek.
• 56:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 56:48
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 56:49
  SPEAKER_01: Because of the Borg.
• 56:52
  SPEAKER_01: And then,
• 56:52
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 56:53
  SPEAKER_01: the majority of the Enterprise series,
• 56:54
  SPEAKER_01: how much I've actually enjoyed it was still very heavy conflict.
• 56:59
  SPEAKER_01: And then they tried to soften it with the Rhapsody episode in season three,
• 57:05
  SPEAKER_01: which was hysterical, you know.
• 57:07
  SPEAKER_01: With the musical numbers, and that was actually my favorite episode.
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_01: But when you look at these things,
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_01: even Star Wars,
• 57:16
  SPEAKER_01: in our classic big series that had multiple sequels and told a story,
• 57:24
  SPEAKER_01: it's always violent.
• 57:27
  SPEAKER_01: The Avengers, that whole series was violent.
• 57:33
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 57:33
  SPEAKER_01: because we idolize superheroes,
• 57:35
  SPEAKER_01: we idolize strength and power and abilities beyond human ability.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_00: Part of that too,
• 57:44
  SPEAKER_00: I think,
• 57:44
  SPEAKER_00: comes from,
• 57:46
  SPEAKER_00: and I wish I had been able to speak to him this morning,
• 57:49
  SPEAKER_00: but he had a conflict and we're going to speak again soon,
• 57:51
  SPEAKER_00: his author and veteran Jasper Craven,
• 57:56
  SPEAKER_00: who I'm going to be interviewing next week for the Intelligent Masculinity series,
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_00: who wrote a book called God Forgives, Brothers Don't.
• 58:04
  SPEAKER_00: And it's about the failure from a military education perspective.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_00: Let me pull up the blurb.
• 58:16
  SPEAKER_00: In the tradition of Sebastian Younger's tribe and Chris Hedge's classic,
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_00: war is a force that gives us meaning,
• 58:23
  SPEAKER_00: a powerful investigation into the fraught history,
• 58:25
  SPEAKER_00: an ominous future of a military education in the United States,
• 58:30
  SPEAKER_00: and how it formed and fuels increasingly volatile strains of American masculinity.
• 58:36
  SPEAKER_00: This is an American thing.
• 58:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, The masculinity crisis, the
• 58:47
  SPEAKER_00: toxicity is part of America's history.
• 58:52
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of it has to do with us creating superheroes out of service members.
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying we shouldn't give service members the love and the care they deserve.
• 59:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a Prior service member,
• 59:11
  SPEAKER_00: I think we should be taking care of our veterans as much as possible.
• 59:16
  SPEAKER_01: We shouldn't be idolizing the violence.
• 59:21
  SPEAKER_01: Without even blinking and taking a tenth of a second, that answer should be absolutely.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_01: But not this administration.
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_01: They want to eugenicize the VA population just as much as they want to eugenicize
• 59:33
  SPEAKER_01: the Medicare population.
• 59:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 59:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_00: And some of this comes from The history of America idolizing certain men and trying
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_00: to create them into myths and legends.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_00: George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, all of our founding fathers.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_00: We have mythos and legends around because we want to see an archetype of
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_00: a strong man who's also willing to see just a little bit of his power.
• 1:00:05
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what it is.
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_00: He is a king without the crown.
• 1:00:12
  SPEAKER_01: But that's what was great about Ken Burns' documentary series on the American Revolution.
• 1:00:17
  SPEAKER_01: It really wasn't about Washington.
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_01: It was about individual citizens and patriots stepping up
• 1:00:27
  SPEAKER_01: and doing what was necessary to fight for independence.
• 1:00:31
  SPEAKER_01: And by the way, toward the end of the American Revolution, It was like it wasn't the people.
• 1:00:37
  SPEAKER_01: It wasn't the aristocrats that won the war.
• 1:00:40
  SPEAKER_01: It was the it was the slaves.
• 1:00:43
  SPEAKER_01: It was the the lowest drugs of society was the the people they released from the jails.
• 1:00:49
  SPEAKER_01: It was like the uneducated.
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_01: It was it wasn't even the power players.
• 1:00:56
  SPEAKER_01: Because the war had gone on,
• 1:00:57
  SPEAKER_01: if everybody remembers,
• 1:00:59
  SPEAKER_01: the American Revolution was from 1770,
• 1:01:03
  SPEAKER_01: basically 75-ish, 76, to 83.
• 1:01:07
  SPEAKER_01: It was a seven-year war.
• 1:01:10
  SPEAKER_00: It took a while to win.
• 1:01:11
  SPEAKER_01: It took a long while to win.
• 1:01:15
  SPEAKER_01: But we still needed allies.
• 1:01:17
  SPEAKER_01: We still needed the French.
• 1:01:18
  SPEAKER_01: We still needed help.
• 1:01:21
  SPEAKER_01: The British had help from Native American tribes.
• 1:01:26
  SPEAKER_01: That sided with them.
• 1:01:27
  SPEAKER_01: The Spanish helped them, believe it or not.
• 1:01:32
  SPEAKER_01: The Spanish actually helped the French because at one point during
• 1:01:34
  SPEAKER_01: the American Revolution, the entire Britain was at war with both France and Spain.
• 1:01:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and partially Germany because they helped us too.
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 1:01:46
  SPEAKER_01: No, but the Germans, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_01: The Germans helped the British.
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_01: They had sent their battalions of their Hessian fighters.
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:57
  SPEAKER_00: We had some Germans, but not the German military.
• 1:02:01
  SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, again,
• 1:02:04
  SPEAKER_01: very violent start to our country, but that's how revolutions usually happen, right?
• 1:02:09
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's… Yes.
• 1:02:13
  SPEAKER_01: And I saw in the comments… I highly recommend everybody watch that series.
• 1:02:16
  SPEAKER_01: If you haven't had a chance to, it's on PBS.
• 1:02:18
  SPEAKER_01: You can go back and stream it.
• 1:02:22
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's like six or seven episodes,
• 1:02:24
  SPEAKER_01: but it's an amazing watch because the story is not told by the history books.
• 1:02:30
  SPEAKER_01: The story is told from the perspective of individual revolutionary fighters
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_01: and their families through their writings and their historical documents about how
• 1:02:44
  SPEAKER_01: the perspective of just the average colonist Future American citizen stepped up
• 1:02:51
  SPEAKER_01: and fought,
• 1:02:53
  SPEAKER_01: which is what we all have to do now,
• 1:02:58
  SPEAKER_01: which starts by signing up and doing
• 1:03:01
  SPEAKER_00: Crip Crow Lobby Day,
• 1:03:04
  SPEAKER_00: which is part of that action.
• 1:03:05
  SPEAKER_00: Like people I've seen in the comments,
• 1:03:07
  SPEAKER_00: like eventually this is going to lead to violence or yada, yada, yada.
• 1:03:13
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it doesn't have to, maybe like the The revolutions don't have to be bloody.
• 1:03:25
  SPEAKER_00: They're often, yes, violent and quick, but they don't have to be.
• 1:03:31
  SPEAKER_00: There are nonviolent, nonbloody revolutions.
• 1:03:36
  SPEAKER_00: We're already fighting against a side that is perpetrating violence against us.
• 1:03:43
  SPEAKER_00: ICE.
• 1:03:44
  SPEAKER_00: ICE, the American government, is perpetrating violence against us.
• 1:03:50
  SPEAKER_00: And if you really want another good book to help not brighten
• 1:03:56
  SPEAKER_01: your day
• 1:03:56
  SPEAKER_01: but prepare you
• 1:03:58
  SPEAKER_00: for resistance history.
• 1:04:01
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-oh, Nick's going to the library.
• 1:04:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's one of the few books.
• 1:04:04
  SPEAKER_00: And properly resist.
• 1:04:06
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't burn that one yet?
• 1:04:09
  SPEAKER_00: No, they haven't burned this one.
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_00: This one's a new book.
• 1:04:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's Resistance History of the United States by Tad Starmer.
• 1:04:15
  SPEAKER_00: That's a great book.
• 1:04:16
  SPEAKER_00: I actually read that.
• 1:04:17
  SPEAKER_00: He just put this book out.
• 1:04:19
  SPEAKER_00: He's with Karen Atiyah and him have been going around and doing chores,
• 1:04:24
  SPEAKER_00: or at least he did in DC with Karen Atiyah.
• 1:04:26
  SPEAKER_00: I got to meet her, which was super cool.
• 1:04:29
  SPEAKER_00: This book goes through American resistance history in great detail on
• 1:04:38
  SPEAKER_00: where it succeeded and why it failed.
• 1:04:42
  SPEAKER_00: And where resistance failed.
• 1:04:45
  SPEAKER_00: There's also this little like handy resistance pocket guide at the back of it
• 1:04:49
  SPEAKER_00: that you can tear out and have your own little pocket resistance guide.
• 1:04:55
  SPEAKER_00: What it is, there's a lot in there.
• 1:04:58
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot in this book.
• 1:05:00
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot about talking about the preparation of violence and what does it mean
• 1:05:05
  SPEAKER_00: when violence happens and Is violence in response to an already violent situation?
• 1:05:16
  SPEAKER_00: Is that escalation or just defense?
• 1:05:19
  SPEAKER_00: And we are crossing the Rubicon at some point where people will get violent
• 1:05:28
  SPEAKER_00: because there is too much violence being perpetrated against them.
• 1:05:32
  SPEAKER_00: You corner an animal and it will lash out at some point.
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_00: It will fight back.
• 1:05:37
  SPEAKER_00: It will bite you.
• 1:05:39
  SPEAKER_00: It will hurt you in the process.
• 1:05:42
  SPEAKER_00: We are becoming that cornered animal.
• 1:05:44
  SPEAKER_00: They want us to fight back violently because that gives them the excuse to
• 1:05:51
  SPEAKER_00: then go all out on their violence.
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_00: Our job,
• 1:05:55
  SPEAKER_00: part of resistance history,
• 1:05:57
  SPEAKER_00: is accepting and understanding what violence is being perpetrated against you.
• 1:06:02
  SPEAKER_00: How much are you willing to live with?
• 1:06:04
  SPEAKER_00: And then what is the next logical step from there?
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_00: And it does not have to be violent.
• 1:06:11
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't.
• 1:06:12
  SPEAKER_00: It can be quick.
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_00: It can be effective.
• 1:06:16
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the first ways to actually resist right now,
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_00: you see that link going on the bottom of the screen right here?
• 1:06:24
  SPEAKER_00: Say no to Crip Crow Lobby Day.
• 1:06:26
  SPEAKER_00: Part of your resistance history is actually going and signing up and taking part.
• 1:06:33
  SPEAKER_00: Taking part in these types of things because these peaceful lobbying demonstrations,
• 1:06:41
  SPEAKER_00: these events where you actually talk to your representative and senator,
• 1:06:46
  SPEAKER_00: make a huge difference.
• 1:06:50
  SPEAKER_00: And that is the start of it.
• 1:06:52
  SPEAKER_00: Because once we get this ball rolling down our hill, it'll keep rolling.
• 1:06:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like they push their boulder down a hill and they're hoping that when they get to
• 1:07:01
  SPEAKER_00: the bottom, It just flattens out and they can just keep rolling forever.
• 1:07:05
  SPEAKER_01: Or they flatten everybody else on the way down there.
• 1:07:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and they flatten all of us on the way down.
• 1:07:10
  SPEAKER_01: So we're on the book subject.
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_00: Our ball is rolling, though, and we're going to keep it going.
• 1:07:16
  SPEAKER_01: I want to go on a different subject on the book,
• 1:07:18
  SPEAKER_01: and then we need to close out the show because I had to get back to the clinic.
• 1:07:23
  SPEAKER_01: If nobody has read Viktor Frankl, have you read Viktor Frankl's stuff?
• 1:07:30
  SPEAKER_00: I don't.
• 1:07:31
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so Viktor Frankl is, he wrote this after the Holocaust.
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_01: So it's an older book.
• 1:07:37
  SPEAKER_01: He was at Auschwitz.
• 1:07:41
  SPEAKER_01: He basically lived, the book's about his time in the Nazi concentration camps.
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_01: And this is not a pro-Jewish thing.
• 1:07:47
  SPEAKER_00: This is a human thing.
• 1:07:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's literally, it was basically published in 1946.
• 1:07:53
  SPEAKER_01: But it's an older book, but the messaging is really important for where we are today.
• 1:07:59
  SPEAKER_01: It's about survival literature.
• 1:08:01
  SPEAKER_01: And when he wrote the book,
• 1:08:03
  SPEAKER_01: it was about his insights into our ability as humans
• 1:08:07
  SPEAKER_01: to find meaning despite great adversity.
• 1:08:11
  SPEAKER_01: And it's given guidance to me generations beyond that, right?
• 1:08:16
  SPEAKER_01: That it's like it's got letters and speeches and essays that reveal his lessons
• 1:08:22
  SPEAKER_01: on perseverance and strength.
• 1:08:24
  SPEAKER_01: And this book, it's called Man's Search for Meaning.
• 1:08:29
  SPEAKER_01: And at the heart of it is what's called logotherapy, which is a Greek word for meaning.
• 1:08:35
  SPEAKER_01: It's a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure, as Freud maintains, right?
• 1:08:41
  SPEAKER_01: But the way Frankl views it is that the discovery and pursuit of what
• 1:08:45
  SPEAKER_01: the individual finds meaningful.
• 1:08:50
  SPEAKER_01: And I introduced this book to my daughter when she became a senior in high school
• 1:08:55
  SPEAKER_01: to help her with the challenge of college and moving on.
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_01: The fact that our world is so complex and much more uncertain,
• 1:09:04
  SPEAKER_01: so this is actually to find significance in the act of living,
• 1:09:08
  SPEAKER_01: despite all the obstacles.
• 1:09:10
  SPEAKER_01: So the way we started the show with all the chaos by this administration,
• 1:09:14
  SPEAKER_01: what they're throwing at us, okay,
• 1:09:18
  SPEAKER_01: I have found that this book has given me a pathway into a thought process
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_01: to basically bulldoze through all And for those of you,
• 1:09:29
  SPEAKER_01: it's about, what, $15, $16 on Amazon.
• 1:09:34
  SPEAKER_01: Or go to your local bookstore to buy it.
• 1:09:35
  SPEAKER_01: If you want it quick, then Amazon's the best way.
• 1:09:37
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not endorsing Amazon in any way, shape, or form because Bezos is a technical shitbag.
• 1:09:41
  SPEAKER_01: But there are some things that it's actually good for.
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_01: And when you're going to do something that's good for your soul and good
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_01: for your mental state and it's good for your mental health,
• 1:09:50
  SPEAKER_01: I don't mind tapping into that access.
• 1:09:54
  SPEAKER_01: So it's called, it's Viktor Frankl.
• 1:09:56
  SPEAKER_01: And then last name is spelled F-R-A-N-K-L.
• 1:10:00
  SPEAKER_01: Victor is spelled with a K,
• 1:10:02
  SPEAKER_01: and it's called Man's Search for Meaning,
• 1:10:04
  SPEAKER_01: and it's a phenomenal read,
• 1:10:05
  SPEAKER_01: and I really hope that it's only 200 pages, so it's a quick read.
• 1:10:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's been translated into 50 languages,
• 1:10:13
  SPEAKER_01: very similar to the same methodology that Anne Frank's diary was kind
• 1:10:18
  SPEAKER_01: of post-World War II.
• 1:10:20
  SPEAKER_01: Same type of insight into people and thought process of people.
• 1:10:25
  SPEAKER_01: So this is a great read,
• 1:10:27
  SPEAKER_01: and I hope everybody has an opportunity to just go on and search for it
• 1:10:30
  SPEAKER_01: and just even go read a passage online if you can find it, you know, however.
• 1:10:35
  SPEAKER_01: But it's such a – it really will change your mentality going into the fall
• 1:10:42
  SPEAKER_01: when things are going to get super stressful and actually things are going
• 1:10:44
  SPEAKER_01: to get more difficult financially, emotionally.
• 1:10:49
  SPEAKER_01: So the dog alarm is going off.
• 1:10:53
  SPEAKER_00: Dog alarm is going off.
• 1:10:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's past time.
• 1:10:56
  SPEAKER_01: My patient alarm's going
