• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hello, and.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Welcome to a slight change of plan here. I actually
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: don't think I wrote an opening monologue for this one,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: but it's it's this was a bit of a last
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: minute change, so I didn't really have a whole lot
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: that I would have planned necessarily to say about it either.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: So here you go. Since I didn't write an opening monologue,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't write down my title, it was Trump card
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: versus actual nuclear option.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But this is HBr Talk.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Three thirty nine and where we're going to talk about
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: an article that was sent to me, and I guess
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I should tell you guys that part because that's kind
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: of relevant to why we're doing this. This article. I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: missed this because I don't really keep track of Newsweek
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that much. Newsweek is not a neutral news source. It
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is a left wing news source, and it's not, you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: like there's not really a lot of neutral news sources.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: They're either mostly left ring, left wing or right wing,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: but Newsweek is very They would normally they would be
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: very anti Trump, and they would be very anti Republican
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and so on, and very pro Democrat, but they do
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: it in a way that they thought was subtle. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: this this kind of doesn't do that, it's a little different.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So it it did.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Fly under my radar.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But one of my Twitter followers who is like, I've
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: got Twitter followers who are straight up m ras. I've
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: got Twitter followers who are neither m RA nor feminist. Uh,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they're not left, they're not right, They're they're supporters from
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the gamer Gate controversy. They're from the consumer side at
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the gamer Gate controversy.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And then I've got mega supporters, mega followers. And this
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: one lady who is a fellow gen xer who is like,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: she just started to wake up to a lot of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: this stuff during the the uh twenty twenty snaff who
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much, And I guess we did
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: come right out and call it stolen last Monday. Monday
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: was the day that we did the the live stream
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: from Virginia. Yeah, yeah, that woke her up to a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of things. But yeah, the fact that that
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: happened and the gas lighting afterward, and all of the
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: stuff that occurred after that election, Like, there's a lot
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: of people prior to that election that probably wouldn't even
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: have noticed a lot of this stuff that we.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Notice, wouldn't have cared enough.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: To look for it, right, So she sent me this
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: with a message that was those basically, you know, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: don't I don't get in necessarily to the men's issue stuff,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: but I've seen that you do, and I think you
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: might be interested in this article. And the first thing
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I thought about it was, you know, meteor hits the Earth,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: women most affected. And this is like nuclear war kills everybody,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: like men don't survive longer or anything than women, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: it doesn't actually kill everybody right away. And there are
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: depending on just how bad it is, whether it's you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: two countries going going at it with each other or
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: multiple countries going at it with each other.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: The general trend in a nuclear explosion is men run
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: towards it, women run away from it. Yeah, and that's
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and that's where they that's why they don't quite understand
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the problem, because if you run towards it, you die quickly.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: If you run away from it, you die slowly and
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: indescribable agony. Yes, so yeah, once once we go nuclear,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: we we escape the guyandocentric traditions of old if you
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: can even call them traditions, which I suppose they are.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: But yeah, everything everything changes when it goes nuclear, Yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the cockroaches take over.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: But there is there is a men's issue. Actually, there's
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a few men's issues in this. And you know, the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: first most obvious one is that when we look at
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: who is responsible for stopping like a nuclear war, who
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: is responsible for preventing this from happening? And you look
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: at who is in politics, who is in charge? Right,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Feminists always complain that we still live in a patriarchy
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: because the seats of power are mostly held by men.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: That's one of their chief complaints is that we are
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: still in a patriarchy because most of Congress is men,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: few world leaders are women, and so on. You don't
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: see most of the people who run the judicial system,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: most of the people who make the top decisions in
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the judicial system, they're not They're mostly men. There are
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: more men than women most of the time and have
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: been for most of history. And okay, that's fine, you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: can complain about that right now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: What that means is.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That most of the people whose responsibility it is to
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: protect the public by engaging in diplomacy one way or another,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: whether it's you know, carrying a big stick or actually
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: being being able to offer compromise. You know, and being
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: able to come to agreements with other nations.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: It's men. Men are the people on whose.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Backs that weight is carried most of the time. So
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that's the first one. The second one is before war
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: goes nuclear, it very often goes red, and it's men's
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: blood who is more likely to get spilled, right, it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: men's When they say boots on the ground, they really
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: mean asses on the line, they really mean lives on
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the line, right, And it's mostly men's lives. It's almost
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: exclusively men's lives because even the fourteen percent of the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: US military that are women, most of those women, the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: overwhelming majority of those women, are not going to be
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: in combat roles, and they're not going to be in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: roles where they're going to be in danger of going
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: into combat even if they weren't expected to. It's going
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to be men that are going to fill the most
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: dangerous positions.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And the people that are.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Sitting behind desks trying to help direct those men. A
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: lot of those maybe women right well, among the fourteen percent,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: but you know, it's not the same being the one
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: on a computer looking at satellite imagery and telling men
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: where the guys that are shooting at them are shooting
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: from versus being the person who's getting shot at.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Right, So.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: We were in that situation as a nation of almost
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: going to work. We were in that situation as a
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: nation of dealing with are we going to have a draft?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Are we going to send our young men overseas after
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: screwing them up so badly that they are not even
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: sure what sex they are, We're gonna send them overseas
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: to fight in a war? Because that was coming up.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: So that's a big men's issue. And then probably the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: least obvious one would be, you know, what happens if
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: some people do survive the nuclear war? What happens if
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: people survive and are in a position where you know
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: they're they're they're going to be able to actually outlast
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the uh uh fallout where they are. What happens if
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you know they got to rebuild? What happens if they've
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: got to survive that. Who's going to be the ones
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: doing that is not going to be women. So there
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: are some men's issues in this. So I can understand
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: why she did send it to me, but it is
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it's encouraging in a way. I don't necessarily like it's
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: like I said, with Trump. I'm not holding my breath.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I'm really really happy with a lot of the stuff
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: that he's done, but I'm not holding my breath on
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the right listening to us.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: But this indicates that at least some of them.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Are more aware of these issues than we thought, and
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: there may be a chance, there's probably a pretty good
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: chance on some issues to get them to listen to us.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: So with that, I'm going to get us into the article.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to move this up. I already showed you
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: guys that it was Newsweek.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: They ask us, are you tired of winning? And I say, sir,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: we have not yet begun to win.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: There you go, Yeah, that's one. I know.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: They're still the right is too white pilled too early.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I will say that I have hope though, I do
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: have hope, Like I have more hope than I had
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: before the election, and I have more hope than I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: have had before the inauguration. So now I'm gonna say
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: that it's it's not better.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It's just I'm.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Always waiting for the other shoe to drop in politics,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: you know, It's just I always am. And they've already
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: somebody's already tried to introduce.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: A a bill.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: To create an amendment to the Constitution that'll have to
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: be ratified through the usual process and everything to allow
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Trump a third term. I don't I don't like that.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Like I hope he comes back and says, don't do that,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: because I'm I'm looking at it a couple of ways.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: First of all, if he gets a third term, anybody
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: else that comes along after him can also.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: And that's one.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Of the biggest problems of Congress is that it's all
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: of ancient, fucking barely animate golams.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Like Cecil the turtle, I mean, I mean McConnell, Mitch McConnell.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Glitch McConnell and all the and all these sorts.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: The problem isn't the that the president should have more terms,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: it's that all of these ghouls should have fewer terms.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Like why is it only the president that gets no
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: more than eight years? Like eight years is good for everyone?
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Why can't we why can't we get a revolving door
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: in all of these places? Like if it works for
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: the goose, it works for the what's the word for
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: baby geese? Godzlings?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, there we go, and yeah, we have an actor
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: named after the baby geese. Here in the US. But
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: in any case, yeah, as far as that that goes,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: the first thing is nobody should have that much power
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: for that long in.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The United States.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I understand other countries do that and they're
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: fine with it, but that's not the way that we
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: ever intended to do things here, you know. And the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: first president of the United States sort of set a
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: precedent by refusing to be named king. They offered him
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and he said no. So it's something that if somebody
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: wanted to be in power forever or fifteen years is
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a long time, right, fourteen or twelve years is a
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: long time, not fifteen years.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Five years terms like, but yeah, twelve years is a
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: long time. But the other aspect of it is this
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: nobody should have to bear that responsibility for that long.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: That should be something that like the baton in a
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: relay race, you should be able to hand off to
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the next person. You ran your part, You did your part.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: And it's you can see from every president and our
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: generation is watched deal with the issues of the United
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: States and foreign policy and all that. They come out
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: looking like they got ran over by a train. They
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: don't come out looking better and it's they're aging. Yeah,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: but there's a lot to deal with in that job.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It is in an immense responsibility, and nobody's shoulders should
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: have to bear it for more than eight years if
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: they're willing to bear it for eight years. So, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: of course, the other thing is a president shouldn't need
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: a third term.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Right If his.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Ideas and his goals and interests are popular enough that
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: someone else with the same values can get in and
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: he can pass the torch, and that torch can be carried,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: he can pass the baton, and that baton can be
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: carried by the next person, then those ideas deserve another.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Term, right.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: But if the public cannot support those ideas with another
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: baton carrier, another torch bearer, then they should be extinguished,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: at least until people decide they need them again. All right,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: OBS is sucking up.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, and we should hold on,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: hold on.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Chat just died in OBS. I need to see Chat
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: on my desktop computer. Tell me that they can still
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: hear us, because I don't know what's going on with OBS.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But it looks like it's not streaming, so uh, I'm watching.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Watching too, and I think they can hear this.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I hope they can hear us. Let's it's it's gonna
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: take thirty seconds to find out. Yes, yeah, okay, what?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: What?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Okay? Yes, like we said about of stuff? Yes what
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: we can hear you? They said they can hear us. Okay,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: go on, Mike, I'm so sorry.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Oh fuck? What was they even saying? God, I'm suing?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Why it's doing that?
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: So what White I was talking about was term limits,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and and it basically said, you know, if the ideas
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: cannot continue on without that one leader, then not enough
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: people value them, not enough people want them, and they
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: should be allowed to fade instead of him carrying that
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: torch forever.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Does that help?
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I've completely forgotten what I was gonna say. This is
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: why I write things down.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Sorry before before I go on.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Because no, it's it's my fault entirely. I'm an alcoholic.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I have a very poor short term memory, and that's
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: nobody's fault of mine. Maybe I'll come back to me
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: as the conversation continued. Let us continue the conversation, all right?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: All right, So I actually want to just get into
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the article, but but I will point point that out
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: with regard to that that that term thing, because like
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that's one thing I don't want to see people doing that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: And I do hope Trump comes out and says, please
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: don't do that, because I I don't want to do that,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: because the man does deserve, you know, well earned rest.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: If he achieves a third of what he wants to
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: get done, a quarter of what he wants to get
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: done in the next four years, which I think he
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: may have done that the first day, he deserves to
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: retire and just get to be, you know, whatever he
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: wants to be after that, for however long he is alive.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: And there are people waiting to carry that torch. So
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried about it, but like people really need
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to back off on the idea of like putting that
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: burden on somebody for years and years. So our article here,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Let me get this stupid window to comply. There we go,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: got three windows open on this laptop, and they're all
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: big enough that they overlap. So that's me doing the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: delay while I get the wind forward so you guys
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: can see it, or so I can read it. Rather putin,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Alle warns nuclear war with NATO almost began under Joe Biden,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: and I do want to remind you guys, Joe Biden
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: gave the okay for Ukraine to bomb Russia with our
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: missiles right before and so after the election, right right
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: before the inauguration.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: So I had to.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Had to look up how to pronounce this guy's name.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna play it because actually what I found
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: was interesting, just this part right here, or actually know
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the beginning was what I found was interesting. There we go,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: if I can get it to play. It played just
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: fine when I wasn't live streaming. I even tested it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: So annoying here Russian.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: His name's pronounced.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Dmitri al right, so I'm gonna have a rough time
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: with that, Midv.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I know it's.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: A Russian pronunciation of a Russian word, and I think
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the English uh type pronunciation is just Medvedev.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to try to meet Medvedev.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: That's what it is. Yeah, you can do it, it's fine.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Well in Ohio, I want you to remember, I am
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: from Ohio, where we have a community just north of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: where I live. Okay, that is called Versailles. It is
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: spelled Versailles.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: And you and you have a lima, Yes we have
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: a lima, no, but none. Fine, we're allowed to do that.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: You're allowed to anglicize things, so we're allowed to anglicize
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Dmitry med the Death.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: So what was interesting to me was this part play
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: damn it really all right? So I'm not gonna play it,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: but it gave us history. Now, I've looked up how
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: to pronounce a lot of different names and stuff, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: the the videos on how to pronounce them, and they
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: just say the name over and over again, and it's
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: often and a person whose primary language is English English,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Like I can't say Americans are necessarily English because a
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: lot of us have other nationalities as our primary background,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: and what we speak is not English English. But this
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: is the first one I've come across that actually gives
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: information about the person.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of I.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Wish more videos about how to pronounce people's names did that.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: So it says the former Russian Prime Minister Dimitry. Let
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: me see if I could do this right, midw Dev.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I've already forgotten it. I'm really bad at that, so
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I will say call it. I will start calling him DM.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody suggested DM, which makes him sound like the dungeon Master,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: which is really cool. So I'll do that a close
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: a nuclear war with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: almost began under President Joe Biden. Newsweek has reached out
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: to the White House and Russia's Foreign Ministry via email
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: for comment on Sunday morning. And this was written. By
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the way we look at this, I think it was
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: before it was January nineteenth. So this was published on
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: January nineteenth, and then that was updated further in the afternoon.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: But so this is before the inauguration. And and yeah,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Derek Workman pointed out there is no one American accent there.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: There are thousands. There are thousands of American accents. And
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: in fact, if I go a few streets over, people
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: have a different accent.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: In the same city.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: But it has to be said, this is even more
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: pronounced in the UK. Yeah, because you know, the USA
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: is huge, and you know the difference between California and
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: southern and the East Coast and Middle America. So it's
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: a it's a much narrower gap than between the people
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: at the top of Scotland and the people of the
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: bottom move England.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Just like just don't made me tell the iron machine
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: story again.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, I know.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: You're in your tolls.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Weirdly there, there's there's a much broader range of accents
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: in Britain and yet weirdly we still understand each other.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, and it's it's important though, if you're gonna go
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: on long trip that you should make sure there's iron
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: in your tars and all.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: You got to make sure you check.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Your role earl.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's a different part of the country.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Check your girl's where. That's where my family's from.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but after you check your earl, if you're going
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: to check your earl, you gotta wash your hands. Yes,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: that's washed for the rest of the country. And of
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: course if you're gonna wash your hands, you're gonna worsh
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: them in water.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: My grandparents were from New York, so my my living
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: grandparents were from New York. Because I didn't meet the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: grandparents on the other side of the family.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: They all passed.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, one side of my family lives really long.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: The other side of my family lives like it doesn't
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: really matter if there's going to be a nuclear war,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: so why it matters. Tensions remain high between NATO and
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Russia amid the ongoing Russia Ukraine War.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: We all know that part as NATO.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Leaders have increasingly warned that direct conflict with Moscow as
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: a real danger. This comes after Putin and senior Russian
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: officials have repeatedly threatened nuclear escalation against Kiev and its
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Western partners since Russia launched its full scale invasion of
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Ukraine in February twenty twenty two. And I want to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: remind you guys, last week we were talking about China's
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: concerns about this and how careful they are being to
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: not openly appear to be siding with Russia while they
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: side with Russia, like they're actually tiptoeing around this, And
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: that's that's kind of creepy too, right.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: They don't. They don't.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: They're usually not quite that tiptoey. They usually make threats
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: to US. So the tensions come as Russia and the
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: United States have control over roughly ninety percent of the
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: world's nuclear weapons, the other ten percent, including a significant
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: portion by the way, this is not in the article,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: but I will point this out that they got lost
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: after the collapse of the Soviet Union, So there are
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: also nuclear weapons out there that we don't know where
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: they are or who has them, or what they might
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: want to do with them. So and of course since
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the collapse, there's probably more nuclear weapons in Russia that
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: we don't know about as well. This includes strategic and
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: nonst or tactic tactical nuclear weapons. President elect Donald Trump,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: who takes office on Monday, has criticized the billions of
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: dollars the Biden administration has spent in supporting Ukraine. Has
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: said that if he was negotiating at the negotiating table
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: with Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, the war between
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: the two nations would end within twenty four hours, leading
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: to concerns that he would press Vielensky to surrender the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: territory Russia currently occupies.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: So we're going to stop there for.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: A minute, all right. So we've talked about this before too.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Remember the history of the territory that they're fighting over
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: is that Ukraine was part of Russia. It wasn't just
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: part of the Soviet Union. And when the Soviet Union collapsed,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: then Ukraine became a country. And during the Obama administration,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: the American government overthrew essentially the existing Ukrainian government, installed Zelensky,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: who I will remind everybody is basically the pee wee
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: herman of his country. Like before, if you go back
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: and you look at some of Paul Rubin's old Gong
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: show material and then you look at the old acting
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: material that is out there from Zolensky, you will understand
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. They put him in charge, and
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Russian nationals in Crimea rejected his leadership. That area voted
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: to break off from from Ukraine and become part of Russia,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: and the United States paid holy warriors from from Afghanistan
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: that that our I want to also want you to
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: remember our interference in the Afghanistan civil war in the
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighties, where we had our our holy warriors and
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Russia had their holy warriors fighting with each other. It
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: wasn't just their civil war. It was a civil war
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: between the United States and Russia in another country basically
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: not so civil, huh. And you know, so we had
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: we had people that we we took, our CIA took
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: from those conflicts, those holy warriors that they have had
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: recruited to send to genocide the Russian nationals in Crimea
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: to put down the revolt against Zelensky. That's the history
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: behind this war, right, So Russia going in and attacking
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: it puts it into perspective. You have Zelensky wanting to
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: put NATO bases on Russia's doorstep, and you also have
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: a portion of the country he claims to rule over
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: wanting to defect to Russia. You have a the United
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: States interfering.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: If the United.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: States wasn't interfering at all, if there was zero US interference,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: if there was zero NATO interference, the question becomes, who
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: would be in charge of Ukraine? Would it be a nation?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Would would it have just gone back to Russia.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: So when when we read.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: That there are concerns, it says leading to concerns, it
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't say whose concerns. Right, there are concerns that he
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: would press Zelensky to surrender the territory Russia currently occupies.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm not.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be upset about that. I'm not gonna complain
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: if that's what happens, Right, It's it's not our business.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: What is our business?
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Is?
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Uh? You know, we're not We shouldn't be supporting defense
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: of it against Russia. We actually shouldn't be supporting efforts
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: to take it back, like, if we are supporting efforts
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: to take it back, then we are at war with Russia.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: So you know, from my perspective, I'm not This isn't
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: something that obsessed me to read concerns that he would
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: press Zolensky to surrender the territory Russia currently occupies. If
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: that's what it takes to end the war, maybe that's
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: what should happen. Is it is it even legitimately territory
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: that Zelensky has a right to control over, And whether
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: it is or not, is it our responsibility to support
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: his efforts at regaining it? Is it the responsibility of
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: our sons to the eighteen year old boys that voted
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: for Trump for the first time this year, have a
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: right to expect him to do whatever it takes to keep.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Them from having to go to war. I mean it,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: does anybody disagree with me on that?
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: You have to wonder how many lives and how many
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: hundreds of billions could have been saved if if there
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: was someone in there who could have just gone, okay,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: you could have CRIMEA, you could have that. You know,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: you can have the dombats readion, you have that bit
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: in the southeast that's mostly occupied by the ethnic Russians anyway,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: and they never needed to have been a war. And
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: you can't help but wonder if, if you know, if
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Trump was not legitimately lost the election, you know, if
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: all of this would have been prevented had the Biden
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: cartel not have come into power in the early days
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty one.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I think it definitely would have.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think Putina would have even done this.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think he would have attacked in the first
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: place if Trump had been still in power, or at
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: least he would have waited six years, because it happened
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: in two Trump.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Would have pushed back on that whole. You know, Ukraine
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: trying to join NATO. He would have pushed back on
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: that immediately. You know, there's there's I just don't see
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: any way that it would have happened had he been
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: able to take his rightful place in the office for
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the last four years. But you know, we're can't put
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: that gd back in the bottle where we're here now,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: and so yeah, I mean it's it's obviously I don't
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: like America getting involved in the dealings with other countries,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: but there are certain situations where it makes sense for
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: us to at least kind of at least thwart, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: the next World war.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's essentially Trump is being sent now to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: clean up the mess, right that previous previous administrations caused.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: And in a sad situation.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I'll be satisfied because there's just no way that he's
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: gonna let it continue, right, I just can't see it happening.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Putin is already I mean even before he took office,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Putin was already backing off of Ukraine. But I will
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: be happy if we can recover some of those billions
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: of dollars that we sent over there.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: We probably will never see a dime of that.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I know. One can dream, though.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: That's your tax dollars and and mine and every man
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: who pays taxes, like that's that's all gone.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: That's just like.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: You know, if you you have cash and somebody steals it,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: you usually don't get that back either, right, You can
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: get back sometimes you get back electronic currency that gets stolen,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: but cash is usually gone by the time the thief
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: gets caught.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: And this is that situation. They're really.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: The really rough part, you know, with what Trump's going
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: to be facing in terms of the financial end of
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: it is this, there is a complex money laundering scheme
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: that is embedded in the United States involvement in this war,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: and the outgoing administration just pardoned pretty much everybody involved
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: in it. So there's not a lot of recourse that
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: can be had against the individuals who committed those crimes,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: and there's probably not a lot of leverage that can
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: be operated to get to the bottom of that. And
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: all we can really expect is that going forward, hopefully
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: the current administration will create barriers to any future efforts
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: at doing this again. Like that that seems to be
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: and it's not just a matter of the best we
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: can do. Revenge is kind of useless in a lot
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: of ways.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Biden is old.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: It's it's too late to punish him for anything. He
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: is at the end of his life. He doesn't know
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: where he is or what he's doing half the time,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: and he may linger for a long time and then die,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: or he may die from whatever it is that's making
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: him senile. If it's if it's strokes, it could kill
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: him next week. If it's Alzheimer's, he could he could
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: last another ten years with it and and deteriorate the
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: whole time in front of his family and the rest
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: of the country if they are mean enough to put
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: him in public. But not not that those are the
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: only two things that can happen that make you see, now,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: when you get older, a lot of a lot of
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: stuff changes as you get older, and there are several
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: disabling conditions that are genetic. Actually it's written into a
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: lot of people's DNA that you'll basically mentally turn into
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: a baby before you die. But and it sucks, right,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: But adding punishment on top of that is going to
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: be completely useless because we aren't the kind of country
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: that deliberately causes people to suffer. So anything that we
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: do would be humane incarceration, which would essentially be very
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: little different from any other nursing care facility.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Right, you could put.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Him in a prison nursing home versus any other nursing home.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to make a big difference.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: But and then, you know, the same is true with
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of the other people that were involved in
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: this that they're either super old or they have fled
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: the country. There are some people that have skipped the country,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: or you know, we can't get the evidence on him
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: and we're not going to be able to prove what
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: they did because people who would otherwise could have been
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: like compelled to testify against them, have been pardoned for
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: any crimes they might have committed or any crimes they
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: might commit.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Now, as Meredith g pointed out, there are a lot
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: of lower level people Biden didn't pardon, probably because they
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: didn't pay up, like Meredith says, they didn't pay up.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: But you know, he we can't.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Necessarily we could. We could go through the entire administration
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: and go all the way down to the bottom, but
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: we don't know if we would be penalizing people who
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: really were involved and really knew what they were involved with,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: or some poor schlub who carried paper from one office
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: to another a bunch of times and didn't know anything
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: about what was on it. So the best path going
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: forward really is to address situations like this right to
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: put out all of the fires and to make future
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: administrations as fireproof as we can. And like I said,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: with Fauci, if we can't prosecute him, we can tear
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: down everything he ever built, because it's all bad. He
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: will have no legacy except for everybody knowing that he
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: was the cause of a pandemic that killed people all
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: around the world. We could also like our extra item
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: for prosecution.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I suggest India.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: If anybody deserves that, right, it's India. Holy crap, what
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: they went through.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: God born.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, death to Zionism, feminism and the Thin Blue Line
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: says Norway has humane incarceration. The US tortures prisoners. There
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: is a great deal of unfortunate truth to that. But
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: what they don't do is take elderly prisoners who are
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: from you know, who have had a lot of authority, basically,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: who are famous or otherwise. They don't. They don't do
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: that with them. They're they're more they just are more confined.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately, I mean, I've worked in the nursing home system,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: and I don't have a lot of nice things to
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: say about it. Right, as awful as then in my
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: parents' lives ended up, I'm glad they were not in
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: a nursing home. And it's not that it's it's not
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: that it's not better than the prison system. It's that
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: once you get to the age where people get put
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: in nursing homes, I don't think it's going to be
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: that different. Most nursing home residents can't leave, not without
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: somebody's help, and so they're at the whim of the
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: people that are taking care of them. And if their
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: family members are not there every day making sure that
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: they're getting good care and they're getting their rights respected
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: in terms of their mobility and everything, they really are
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: in a bad situation. The way that they get treated.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: It's very wrong, and that whole system needs to be revamped.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: And honestly, if you have aging parents and there's a
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: way for you to arrange to have a home where
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: they live in part of that home and you can
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: go in and check on them and have home health
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: care come in, instead of them living in a building
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: in some other part of town where they're at the
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: mercy of strangers all day except for the few hours
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: a day that you might be able to be there
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: or a few minutes. It's better to do to have
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: them have the extended family situation, even if it's hard
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: than it is to have them living in a home.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: If there's not some medical condition where they have to
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: have round the clock nursing care, it's better to not
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: put them in it, you know, obviously, if there is,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: there's a there's a much different situation there. There's nothing
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: you can do about that except make sure that you
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: keep track of what's going on in that home. Because
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: they get stolen from h they get abused, they get
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: treated like their their dignity doesn't matter, they get lied to,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: they get neglected. It's it's really unfair for that to
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: be the way that a modern civilization treats people at
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: the end of their lives. And that's it's not just
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: in the so called bad nursing homes right there are
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: they're nursing homes that are hoity toity expensive, supposed to
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: be better than the county home nursing homes where the
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: same thing happens.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Has anyone else? Has anyone else watched the Netflix series
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: Severance recently? We did, and it's you watch it and
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: you're thinking to yourself, this, this is representing something, No,
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: not so what it is? Well, it's briefly, it's about
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: a dystopian vision of the future in which there are
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: some companies whose employees have to undergo this surgery that
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: splits their memory in half so that they only when
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: they're at work. They can only remember when they're at work,
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: and when and when they are on their own time,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: they can only remember on their own time, and so
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: and so they have two different memories, the one the
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: only operates at work and one that only operates at home.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: And it's it's a fascinating idea because it's it's obviously
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: a metaphor for something else. The the obvious idea is
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: that when you go to work, you have this other
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: life that you have separate from your from your home life.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: And we assume that's what it's about. But then when
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: you but it's it's much worse than that, because if
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: you were to split your brain in half like that,
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: you would you would get this sense of the everlasting,
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: the unfortunate, everlasting. And that is largely what happens in
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: the retirement homes. You get put in there to live
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: with your memories. And when you're at that age, all
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: you really have is your memories and and whatever whatever
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: can trigger those memories in the form of your of
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: your loved ones and your family members visiting you, and
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: so yeah, it's in in later in the in the
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: twilight years of the average human being, they get sent
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: and sent into this institution. Not even a federal or
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: state level institution, a private institution that sort of does
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: whatever it wants with you, and and you end up well,
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: this is what the popular Netflix series Severance gets across.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: You sort of experience this dual life where you're sort
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: of reliving your memories of your outside life and everything
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: every now and again getting snapped back into your present
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: life where you're just in not quite a hospital room,
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: but it's a bit like a hospital room. It's this
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: living in the pod, living in the pod and eating
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: the bugs. I mean, you're not eating the bugs yet,
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: but you know, you're definitely living in the pod, you
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: know what I mean.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So, if Biden were to be convicted of something
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: and they were to decide that he's going to be
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: incarcerated because of his age and because of the medical
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: care that he's going to need at this point in
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: his life and going forward, he wouldn't His experience wouldn't
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: be like you would expect, like if you got if
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: you've broken entered into somebody's house and you got jailed
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: for that in just an ordinary jail, your experience would
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: be worse than what Biden would experience as an elderly
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: dignitary incarcerated in a prison medical facility for the rest
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: of his life, right, So I hesitate to even suggest
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: that it's a big deal that Biden might not be punished, Like,
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: you know that this might not go back to him,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: and a lot of the people that.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Are involved, or that were involved in the.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Whole snaphu, a lot of them are close to his age, right,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: A lot of them would be in that same situation.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't be in the general prison population. They would
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: be in the prison nursing home. They would be in
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: the prison nursing care facility one way or another, or
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: they would be pretty close to that. The prison they
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: would go to wouldn't be They're not gonna like people
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: have this fantasy, you know, if like the people involved
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: being someplace similar to the goo legs that the the
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: J six hostages were kept in, it would be nothing
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: like that. Martha Stewart probably got punished harder than those
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: people will get punished, and she was in a celebrity
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: prison basically may not be a cakewalk in comparison to
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: like your everyday life. But I believe the the men
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: in high security, you know, high threat basically prisons where
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: where they send gang members that.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Have killed probably would consider it a cakewalk.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: So that's really the point of this is not so much,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: you know, all the people that maybe deserve to be
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: punished for getting us into this situation, so much as
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: the fact that it's it's up to us. And by us,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I don't mean Americans, I mean the men's rights movement
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: to push men to make sure that women don't override
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: them and make this happen again. It's guys. Women don't
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: pay attention to everything there is to know in politics.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: They spend all their time thinking about women's issues, and
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: women's issues or not war and due process and equal
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: parenting rights, and what happens to the next generation if
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: our education system doesn't properly teach math, what happens to
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: our economy if the next set of workers coming out
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: doesn't know how to work, what happens to the industries
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: that we rely on for our creature comforts. You know,
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: they don't think about that right. They think about whether
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: or not they can have an abortion, and whether or
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: not your tax dollars are going to be used to
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: fund women's shelters.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: So it's up to you, guys.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it is always going to be up to men, young, old,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: middle aged, doesn't matter. It's always going to be up
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: to men to consider is this man going to send
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: us to war? Is this candidate to send us to work?
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Because Kamala Harris was no man. She wouldn't have been
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: able to handle being a man, right, she wouldn't have
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: been able to handle being a ten.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Year old boy.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: But and in fact, most women wouldn't be able to
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: handle being a ten year old boy, even if they
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: raised boys.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: So it's up to you guys to look at the candidates.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: What happens if our education system fails. Oh well, we
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: don't have engineers, we don't have electricians, we don't have
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: carpenters in the future. Because you can't go into the
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: trades without understanding math.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: I can't name a trade that doesn't have some use
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: of math involved in it.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: Do bear in mind that the long Musks of the
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: world are only just discovering the problem with the immigration,
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: the problem with with with with with the race based
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: area of the DEI thing. He he still hasn't discovered
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: what MRAs have been talking about for the last ten years.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: We we're all rather excited about how some of the
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: movers and shakers are finally understanding how the race grift
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: works and has been working for the last ten, I
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: mean fifty years or so, but they've they've still no
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: idea about the plight of men. I don't know what
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: to call it, but you know what I mean. But
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: the people are people are figuring out the racecrift, but
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: they're there's still several steps away from figuring out the
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: the gender grift, the sex drift, the stuff that we
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: dreaded MRAs have been talking about for the last ten years.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: Like I look forward to when Elon Musk figures that
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: shit out and when he starts, you know, tweeting out
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: ancient Karen Stone videos. Have you seen this ship, folks?
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: Did you know that maybe the patriarchy is not as
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: a Look at this. Her name's Karen Storn. My god,
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: this is the newest thing I've ever seen. And yeah,
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: I look forward to that revelation. But weirdly, I'm not
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: holding out for it.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: No, it could happen, it might never happen. But what
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: is happening is at the other end of the pyramid
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: of social hierarchies. Right, you have a fellow gen x
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: er who doesn't follow anything to do with men's rights.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Who sent me an article that didn't explicitly say it
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: was about men's rights, but she recognized that because it
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: was about war and leadership, it was about men, and
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: it was something that was a men's issue that we
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: might want.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: To talk about. Like that tells me a lot.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: I It's it's a small white pill, but that's a
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: white pill for me.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: It's it's stuck in in.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: A big handful of pills of unknown color.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: But uh, but yeah, and like y'all should be paying
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: attention to a night motorcyclist in her chat because he's
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: got a very big point here about the education system of.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Math and everything. They won't there.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Mary said, if you don't if you don't have math education,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: you don't have engineers, you don't have electricians. I don't
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: know anybody a trade that doesn't require use of some
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: math one in things he's pointing out. That's just as
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: bad is that that women are being promoted with no
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: skill and no knowledge in there in the field. Right,
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Charlatan's wearing the title engineer. And this is bad because
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I do know some women who actually worked for it,
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: and do know what they're doing and are slowly climbing
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: up and did slowly climb up the ranks over the
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: years in in areas prior to the whole DEI thing, right,
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: But now they're just like just like the men, they're
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: gonna have to be dealing with these bembos coming in
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: that don't know what they're doing. And you might be
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: able to get away with that in a newspaper office, right,
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: you might be able to get away with that. In
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: the education system, somebody might be able to camouflage themselves
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: in as a pretend expert in systems where what they
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: do isn't life or death. But if you have a
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: pretend engineer working with the railway system, you have trained
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: derailments and dead people. If you have a pretend engineer
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: designing a pretend are you know, engineer designing a transit
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: system or just a bridge one bridge, you have a
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: collapsed bridge and quite possibly dead people.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: And so this is this isn't just a.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: It's a men's issue in that men are losing their jobs, right,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: but it's also an issue for everybody because when a
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: woman put on a higher pedestal falls off of it,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: she takes out half the people around her like it's
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: extremely bad.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: And like what he's saying.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: He says, I'm a highly experienced I'm highly experienced in
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: track construction and welding and went to college for STEM.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: This woman and our gang will be in charge of
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: our job. So he's talking about a woman who doesn't
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: have the experience, the knowledge, or the skill being in
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: charge of men who do. What's going to end up
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: happening there is, first of all, they're not going to
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: respect her because why should they, And so there's going
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: to be conflict. She's going to exploit existing law that
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: treats it like harassment if they engage in any questioning
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: of her authority, any questioning of her knowledge that she
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't have, or her skill that she doesn't have, or
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: you know, her capability that she hasn't demonstrated, if they
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: don't trust her, Like if you have a man in
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: charge and the workers don't trust him, he cannot then
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: turn around and say, well, you just don't trust me
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: because I'm a man. I'm gonna file a lawsuit. Right,
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: He's eventually going to fail and he's get fired. But
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: if you have a woman in that situation and the
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: workers don't trust her, he becomes a gender issue, and
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: she can use the human resources system against them and
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: take out every member of her team and replace every
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: member of her team with obedient and competent people. Well,
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: maybe she's being respected night motorcyclists, but in my experience,
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: sims don't show respect. They just show deference. It's not
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: the same, you know, you know what I mean? Right,
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: But I don't think I'll be riding a train anytime soon, jeezus,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: not not in the in I know where he's from
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: sort of because he's said a couple of times, so
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: that scares me, like.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: That that's happening.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: I hope that in the future this changes because of
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: the steps that Trump has taken with the government removing Dei.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: And it's already they're already trying to buck him on that, right,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: They're already trying to find sneaky ways around it.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Like you remember how I talked.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: About universities when they they told universities that you can't
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: use somebody's race as a reason why they get preferential
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: treatment in admission or in the ward of grants and.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Scholarships and stuff.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: So what the universities that were doing that did was
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: they took that question out of their application process and
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: replaced it with a request for an essay on on
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: something to do with life experience, which from which you know,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: they intended to glean information that would allow them to
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: use race as a factor in determining admission and eligibility
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: for scholarships and grants, exactly the same as it was before,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: just you know, a little bit under the radar, and
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: we're already catching federal bureaucracies doing that. They're relabeling things
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: that are that are still you know, it's it hasn't
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: changed what they're doing. They're just not telling us now.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be a slog for the Trump
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: administration to actually remove this. It's going to be like
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: getting rid of headlights.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: If you've ever had.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: A situation where you've gone someplace, and especially in a
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: thick head of hair too, like you've gone someplace or
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: you've taken care of somebody that's gone someplace and they
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: come back with with a and you don't know, so
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: two weeks later they've got bugs and you with headlight,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: you can't just they don't just wash out, like you
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: get a special shampoo that that kills the bugs. But
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: it doesn't always kill the eggs the nits.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: And then you have.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: To go through, and this is where the term nitpicking
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: comes from. You have to go through with a comb
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: that the teeth are so thin that only one strand
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: of hair with fits in between them, and you you
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: put an oil in the hair and you select very
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: small sections of hair at a time and you run
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: that comb through over and over again until you get
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: all the teeny weeny little little white balls off of them.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: And they're tiny, they're like as small as the end
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: of a pen at like the part that's sharp, like
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: how long that sharp part usually is not usually very long,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: And if you don't have good glasses, or you have
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: don't have good eyesight, it's very.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Hard to see, right.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: And it's why they yeah, proven twenty two X says,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: shave your head. That's that's actually why they they were
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: in old times they used to shave the heads of
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: prisoners of war to make sure because it when you
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: get a large number of people in a small area
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: and they're all sleeping in a small area, the lice
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: get in the bedding and that just spreads through the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: whole bunch, right, And that's basically I would compare DEI
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: and the way that it has been spread throughout the
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: federal bureaucracy. I would I would fully compare that to
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: head lice and getting it out. It's going to be
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: like a combination of head lice and getting rid of
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: a a type of plant, similar to creeping time, where
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: you you know, you might kill the plant, but if
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: it's roots are not dead, it'll grow back. And yes,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: it's not demetrius. It's diatomaceous earth, I think is the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: way it's pronounced. You can put that in your hair
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: and it'll it'll rip up the bugs, but it doesn't
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: necessarily all get out all the knits. You still have
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: to go through with a fine tooth comb. If you've
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: got somebody here taking care of that has that. And
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: and yeah, with boys, most people will shave them bald.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: If their kids get lce, they'll just shave their heads.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: Most people don't shave their daughter's heads, right. Girls actually
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: are more likely to get light than boys too, because
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: if your hair is dry as opposed to you know, oily,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: you get it more. It's the cleaner your hair, the
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: more likely you get it. And it's not the boys
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: have dirty hair. It's that boys don't use as much
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: product in their hair. So you know girls girls actually
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: with the long hair and the uh, they wash their
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: hair more frequently, they're more fastidious about it. They use drying,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: they use hair dryers and heat treatments and stuff like that.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: They perm their hair, they color their hair, and their
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: hair is like totally dried out and something else that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: I had bread And I don't know if it's true
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: or not, but because of all of that processing and everything,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: white people get lice more.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: So it's possible.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's the same people that have the weakness
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: to DEI right, because women have that safety and addiction
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: and they have that overactive guilt gland where oikophobia takes
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: root and then they allow that shit in and then
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: you can't get rid of it. So yeah, it's not
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: going to be easy, but it absolutely has to happen.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: And it's another issue that it is very much a
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: men's issue, and women are not going to have the wherewithal,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: or the accountability or the morality to help you with it.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: I wish I could say better. There might be some
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: women on the right who are starting to listen just
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: based on the fact that I got sent this article.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: I don't want to put too much on it, but
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: you know, like I would, I would put there's I
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have said there was a chance maybe before, but
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: I would now. But for the most part, it's going
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: to be men versus women voting for a while. So
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: all the guys that stepped forward to vote in this election,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: I'm really glad they did. But it needs to happen
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: in every election, probably for the next unforcenate, for the
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: foreseeable future. Really, I can't I can't even put a
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: time limit on it. And it needs to be You're
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: gonna have to pay attention to every issue on the ballot,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: every political issue, every promise, campaign promise that every politician makes,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: because you know that women are going to have a
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: handful of things they pay attention to and they're going
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: to ignore the rest of it, and they're going to
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: let things get as bad as the article says before
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: they care, and even then they might not mm hmm right.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: And it can't just be men in the United States either, Yeah,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: guys guys in Canada, guys in Europe, guys in in
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: all the different countries around the world. To actually have elections,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: you know, this is a heads up. It's it's it's
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: going to need to be a gendered thing for a while,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: and you know, probably a generation or two at least.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: So this this article goes on with what to Know.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: In a Sunday telegram post, uh Medvedev said, yeah, it
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: says uh deputy chairman of the Russian Russian Security Council
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: and a former Russian president, took aim at Biden as
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: he criticized the president's approach to the conflict and warned
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: that a war with NATO almost began under Biden. Now
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: will point out, we're not sure that was the president's approach,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: but like you know, we're not sure that. In fact,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: it's we're pretty sure that someone else was puppeting him
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: at that point. What did catch my attention was his
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: unhealthy interest in Ukraine, even though he explained it to
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: me by acting on former President Barack Obama's instructions. So,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: in other words, he told Russians that he was operating,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: he was following Obama's policies, he was operating his Obama's puppet.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: That's what he told the Russians. If that was the case,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: if that was really true, I'm not sure he would
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: have said that. But if he's dumb enough to admit it,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: if it is true, like, that's even worse. It's even
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: worse than just being a puppet or not being a
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: puppet and pointing a finger to somebody being the puppet
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: and admitting it openly is about the weakest thing that
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: you can do. And it showed weakness to a nation
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: that is like, if you ever play the game risk,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: there's three types of nations, right there's friendly nations, there's
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: nations that are overtly aggressive that are your enemy, and
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: there's troublemaker nations. Basically, I can't remember what they called it,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: aggravators or something.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Along those lines.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: They may or may not be your enemy. They're like
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: Schrodinger's enemies or Schrodinger's friends, you know, you could say
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: it either way. Russia's like that, they're in that third
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: group right now and they have been since the fall
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: of the Soviet Union, and this isn't helping. You don't
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: show weakness to those people. You don't show weakness to
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: your enemies, and you don't show weakness to people that
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: you don't know for a fact are your friends.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: So uh yeah, that's scary.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: Over time, those instructions turned into an obsession, the transformation
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: facilitated by political mistakes, playing corruption, and poor judgment stemming
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: from historical ignorance and a failure to appreciate the nature
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: of Ukraine Nous. At some point, the old Man went
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: off the rails and essentially unleashed a war between the
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: collective Western Russia, which almost had led to a nuclear
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: exchange with NATO. That's that's pretty open, right, that's pretty blatant.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: That's pretty unquestionable. Yeah, so that's that's our Uh, it's
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: our country.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: Being being told because.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: He's not just he's not talking to Biden with this.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Biden's out of power, right.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: This isn't a look what you did, mister Biden. This
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: is intended for us and the current leadership to know.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: This is what almost happened. He added, he's been clearly
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: out of it lately. What is well, it's true that
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: this war benefits the US economically, political costs and the
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: real danger of a fatal conflict are far more important.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: It is something the old Dude was not prepared for.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: This is a case where the head of a major
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: world power lost control of the situation completely, resulting in
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: a crushing electoral defeat for the Democrats.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: I don't understand how he says that it benefits the
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: US economically. I mean, that's I don't understand where he's
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: coming from with that, because it just seems like we
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: were just throwing money at Ukraine. How does that benefit us?
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Good question, and I I'm not sure he I don't
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: think he's talking about us like you and me, And
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: he's probably not talking about the federal budget either. Right.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: What he's talking about.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: Is the companies that that manufacture the items that were
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: sent over. He's talking about the fact that our politicians
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: can use the situation as an excuse to raise taxes
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: to buy more of that stuff. Right.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: The fact that.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: You know, pretty much the entire industrial were complex, like
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: the military industrial complex, is benefiting from this so ol
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: oligarchs in in the United States, but not US, not
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: American citizens, and and not the countries, not the country's coffers.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: In fact, not only are those empty, but they are
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: full of IOUs Yes, Io, you the labor of the
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: next three generations is where we're at, I think now
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: three or four generations. H And it's two multiple other places,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: but mostly China. M so, But going on, all right,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: DM's remarks come after the US is set to provide
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: Ukraine an additional five hundred million in weapons, five hundred
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: million dollars in weapons, drawing from existing US stockpiles. So
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: let's let's let's reread that, to provide a foreign nation, Ukraine,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: an additional five hundred dollars, five hundred million dollars in
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: weapons drawing from existing US stockpiles. All right, existing US
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: stockpiles are for our defense right this country. So if
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: we have sent our weapons to Ukraine and we are attacked,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: what's left to use?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: What?
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: We're double fucked because we just left billions of dollars
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: in equipment, in weapons in Afghanistan. So I don't even
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: how do we even have this much to be giving
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: to Ukraine.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: You know, Trump strengthened the military during his administration, and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: then Biden came in and is trying to use yeah
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: to get into you know, he's sending it all to Ukraine.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: But when you think about this, we have we have
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: a specta of weaponry from somewhat aggressive to very aggressive
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: to holy shit, to don't point that thing at my planet. Right,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: And a few people maybe know what game that's a
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: reference to. But we've sent all the middle ground? Right,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: how much of the middle ground have we sent to Ukraine?
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: How much have we got left in the country. Because
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: if it's not enough to handle a war, that leaves
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: us from uh, you know, in a position of either
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: posturing with very little aggressive capability going all out nuclear m.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: Here we are.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Trying to stave off a nuclear war.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: I hope we have sheploads.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Left, but if we don't, that puts us in a
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: position where we can't do anything unless we're willing to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: end the world. Yeah, there's a story from a long
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: time ago, and I can't remember the details. I would
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: have to look it up to get to remember the details.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: But there was an incident. I think I may have
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: mentioned it before. There was an incident historically where there
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: was a glitch in Russia and it appeared that to
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: them that we had attacked them, right, and they were
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: in communications with the US and we were assuring them
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: that there was no attack, but it really looked like it. Right.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: War Games, Yeah, like War Games.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: I loved that movie.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: And one guy, one guy figured out the logic that
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: that this this wasn't likely that there were certain things
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: that would have been done, or certain things that would
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: have happened for for this to occur that hadn't and
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: didn't escalate, didn't didn't retaliate.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Like that's.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be a hell of a thing if
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: we were under attack to have to decide whether to retaliate,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: because what you would end up with in a in
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: that situation, retaliation wouldn't stop the destruction of the country. Yeah,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: it would just ensure the destruction of the country it
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: attacked us. So death to Zionism, feminism in the Thin
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: Blue Line said his name is Stanislov Petrov. There's a
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: couple of people who know what I'm talking about. I
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: wish I could really remember the whole story. I'm gonna
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: have to look it up now. We're gonna have to
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: talk about it on the show another day, because this
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: was this was something that.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: You know, if that guy had been.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: A little bit less rational, that would.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Have been the end of the world. M right uh.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: And And that's that's something that you know, you again,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: you know, a woman would have followed some protocol or whatever.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: She wouldn't have been like that, she wouldn't.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Have should have been scared. She had called her family,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: but she wouldn't have.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: Made that judgment call. Yeah right, but yeah, so this
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: this thing, this idea that we've sent all these weapons
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: to you Kraine, just like that's that's terrifying too. The
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: military aid authorized under presidential draw down Authority allows for
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: expedited transfer of munitions and equipment from US stockpiles to Ukraine.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: Senior defenial defense official who earlier this month briefed reporters
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: traveling with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, said the goal was
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: to set get those munitions into Ukraine before the end
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: of the month, ensuring that Ukraine remains in a strong
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: position as the administration transitions. So basically they didn't want
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: well we're changing horses, uh, to the that the shooting
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: would escalate from the other side is what they're saying,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: Which I can see that. But at the same time,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: if the situation is that bad, that that indicates that
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration administration has been doing a bad job
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: of helping Ukraine right at whatever they've been doing, it
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: hasn't been right. If it had been right, we wouldn't
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: need to make an emergency expenditure like that. Just days earlier,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration announced announced a one hundred and twenty
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: five billion dollar aid package, part of a broader effort
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: to maximize Ukraine's military support during the final stretch of
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: Biden's term. Officials estimate the eighty to ninety percent of
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: promised equipment has already been delivered, signaling the administration's urgency
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: to solidify its legacy of support for Ukraine. It's kind
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: of like when you you didn't do your homework, and
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: you know, you run from one class to the next
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: class after the first bell rings, and you try to
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: finish it before the second bell rings, as basically like
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: the first bell was the election, the second bell is
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: the inauguration. Does Biden tried to finish his math problems
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: before the second bell? Yeah, but they don't want the
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: war to end. And Derek Workman had it, he said it.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: They they they don't want the war to end. Death, desionism, feminism,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: and the Thin Blue Nine pointed out that Stanislev Petrov's
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: subsequent decision to disobey orders against Soviet military protocol is
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliate retaliatory nuclear attack
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: on the United States, and it's NATO allies that would
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: have that would have ended the war or ended the
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: world that they would have if they had attacked. That
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: would have led to all out global nuclear war. And
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: if you want to know the how that ends, there's
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: a book.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: Called On the Beach.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, I try to remember the name of the author.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: Uh this. We had to read this in high school
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: and it's a very depressing book, I will say that right.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: And it is told from the perspective of people in
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: Australia after uh, after all out nuclear war. But trying
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: to remember Neville nevill shoot, I think is how it's pronounced.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: It's s h u t e.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: It's any v I l s h u t e
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: on the Beach if you look up On the Beach
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: novel and it's published in nineteen fifty seven, and you know,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: if it's a it's a heartbreaking book. He wrote it
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: after he immigrated to Australia. You know, Australia doesn't have
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapons, but it's very likely that if there was
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: a nuclear holocaust in the Northern Hemisphere, that every nation
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: in the Southern Hemisphere would face nuclear fallout. The cloud
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: would just go around the world. Yeah, I don't think
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: there would be a place where you could where you
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: could go to survive it, but except maybe underground in
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: some distant area, and you would have to have a
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: hell of a bunker because it would have to last
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: you for the rest of your life. But you know,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: this is something so gen xers, when we talk about
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: this stuff and we're so blase about it, you have
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: to understand we were raised by people who, during their
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: elementary school years were taught that ducking under their desks
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: and covering their heads with their hands during a nuclear
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: attack would protect them, and then grew up and learned
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: that that was not true. Their parents built bomb shelters
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: because of fear of nuclear attack, and when they grew up,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of them made their basements as bomb sheltery
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: as they could for the same reason, and had a
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: plan of what to.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: Do if.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: If there was a nuclear attack. And we grew up
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: with references and commentary and jokes, you know, everything about it.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: And in our entertainment media, in our education, it was
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: it was everywhere, right to the point where the parody
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: songs and parody stories we were written TV shows that
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: had as their premise, this is this is what life
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: is going to be like after the big one drops.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: For for anybody that survives and comes back out, you
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: know what's gonna happen after the bomb and.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: Stuff like.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: If you ever listen to Weird Al Yankovic's Happy Birthday, right, well,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: what's the matter?
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: Friend? Do you think this party is the pits? Enjoy it?
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: Well you can. We'll soon be blown to bits. The
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: monkeys and the Pentagon are gonna cook our goose their
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: fingers on the button. All they need is an excuse.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: It doesn't take a military genius to see will be.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: We'll all be chrispy critters after World War Three. There's
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: nowhere you can run to, know where you can hide
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: When they dropped a big one, we all get fried.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday to you, like that's yeah, ninety nine red balloons.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: Sting's song Russians. I just tweeted that one earlier today
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: because he did. He sang it in Russia and it's
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: actually a beautiful performance. And I'm not going to try
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: to sing that because I mean, it's Sting, come on,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's just like we were surrounded by that stuff.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: You know, even if it wasn't a.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: Nuclear holocaust, it was it was you know, the apocalypse
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: was imminent, zombie movies, the Night of the Comet, some
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: of the really weird stuff, right, and uh yeah, so
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: like prepping that happens today, Like there's a long history
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: of that and it and it goes back to yeah, Tom,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: Tom lear, we will we will all go together when
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: we go. Yeah, and you know, so we're we're a
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: little blase about it just because like it's we were
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: inundated with it our whole life. And I don't I
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: don't think our kids were. I don't think they had
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: that sort of post apocalyptic like all the zombie stuff
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: and all that. Yeah, you know that existed, but it
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: was almost like playtime, you know, And I don't. I
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: don't know if zoomers have ever had that experience until
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: this crisis.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: This is probably.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: Equal to or worse than the Cuban missile crisis. So,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I understand why young men turned out to
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: vote like this. If I was a young man like
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: I'd have been, I'd have been on that too. This
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: is not the first time DM has warned about nuclear
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: response during the war. He previously made headlines for regular
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: social media ants that have ranged from calls for nuclear
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: strikes on NATO members to suggestions that Moscow has no
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: choice but to eliminate Zelenski. So here then we have
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: what people are saying. President Joe Biden said in a
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: statement earlier this month. And remember this was on the nineteenth,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: so now it's former president. Former President Joe Biden, Biden
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: said in a statement earlier this month. As I committed
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: earlier this year, the Department of Defense has now allocated
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: all remaining USAI funds appropriated by Congress in the Supple
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: Elemental that I signed in April, and my administration is
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: fully utilizing the funding appropriated by Congress to support the
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: drawdown of US equipment for Ukraine.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: So, in other words, he.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: Basically just said something that somebody else wrote for him
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: that indicated that all the money that they allocated for
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: this is being spent if he's doing what he said
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: he was going to do, which doesn't really address any
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: of it, Trump Vance transition spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt told Newsweek
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: earlier this month. President Trump has repeatedly stated that a
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: top priority in his second term will be too quickly
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: negotiate a peaceful resolution to the Russia Ukraine War. Also,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: President Trump believes European nations should meet their NATO defense
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: spending obligations and step up their share of the burden
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: for this conflict, as the US hasiently more mm HM,
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: which is not fair to our taxpayers. He will do
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: what is necessary to restore peace and rebuild American strength
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: and deterrence on the world stage. That deterrence part, that's
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: pretty important, because.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you can't have people thinking that you can
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 3: just run rough shot over this country. That's not going
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: to fucking happen.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've talked a little bit about the neighborhood where
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: I grew up, and a lot of my philosophy about
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: other forms of violence stems from my experiences with violence
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: in my neighborhood among you know, kids from preschool age
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: all the way up to just about to graduate and
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: just about to turn eighteen, because things change when you
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: turn eighteen. Right when you're under eighteen and you get
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: into a fight, you know, unless you cause injury that
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: requires medical treatment, parents usually handled it right. And you know,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: if it happened to school, a lot of times the
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: school would handle it. But unless somebody that was involved
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: in the fight was on probation, it was handled pretty
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: much with detension in school and stuff like that. It's
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: a different story. If somebody who's on probation, then you're
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: looking at juv for one of the combatants if it
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: appears they were the aggressor. All right, But when you
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: get into a fight at the park and there are
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: no parents at the park, there are parents kind of
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: glancing at the park periodically throughout the day, maybe not yours,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: it's a different story. You don't just when you get
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: into a fight with an individual. The fight that you
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: are fighting, the one that's like right in front of you,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: where another person is throwing punches at you and you
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: are throwing punches back, that's one of two fights that
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: you were in in that moment, right you were you
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: you also have another fight that you are fighting, and
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: that is the battle to demonstrate to every other bully
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: at that park that they don't want to put you
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: in this situation again.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: Oh shoot, what's the book? It was suggested to me
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: by a fellow m r A who I met on.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: Reddit actually shortly after I was outed as female, which
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: everybody get really excited about that.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, your your female and you've said all
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: these things.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: Was like everyone should understand this stuff, you know, but
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: but it was it was pretty quick to learn that
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: most women don't write. But this guy suggested I read
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: Enders game, and I did, and I immediately liked the
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: main character. He's like, this is a kid who has
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: liked the kids I grew up with, and.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: He got into a fight.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm not going to pretend there are spoilers and
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: non spoilers in the story. If you haven't read this book,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: it's been around for a long time, so it's not
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: a brand new novel. But there's a point in this
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: book where Inder gets in a fight and he takes
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: the other kid out. He doesn't realize just how out
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: he has taken the other kid, and I want to say.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: A repeat bully situation. And when he gets into that fight,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: his philosophy on that is he's not just fighting to
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: win that fight, he's fighting to win every future fight
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: by not having to have them, because he'd scare the
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: kids that were picking on him enough that he he
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have to fight all of them later on.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: And I've done that right.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: There was a group of kids at the park that
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: I used to hang out at because it was two
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: doors down from my house that thought they were a gang.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: They weren't.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: They were just a bunch of dumbasses, like most kids
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: are a bunch of dumbasses. You have to learn a
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: lot of things before you become an adult, and before
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: you know those things, you're a dumbass. We are all
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: born dumbasses. Yes, these guys took a little longer than
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: the other guys in the neighborhood to not be dumbasses,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: and four of them decided that they were going to
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: pick on me. We had the swing side at this park.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: It had like there was the one end that had
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: a baby swing, and then there were a couple of
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: sections that had two swings in each section and side
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: by side, and then there was the last section that
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: was wide enough for two swings, but they had just
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: put one swing in the middle. Since that swing was different,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: it was a novelty. So if there were more kids
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: wanting to swing on the swings and there were swings,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: the kids would fight over that swing, even if there
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: weren't Sometimes the kids would fight over that swing. When
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: I went that day, there was nobody at the park.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: I showed up when the weather wasn't very nice and
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: early in the morning, because I was an early early bird,
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: like six am kind of early bird, And so I
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: was out playing on that swing and not paying attention,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden I realized I was surrounded
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: by like four of these bullies, and that scared the
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: crap out of me. Like I didn't I didn't really
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: know what I was going to do in that moment, right,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: And they were all telling me that I have to
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: get off the swing and they're going to take it.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: And when I get off the swing, they're all gonna
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: beat me up and all kinds of you know, the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: same stuff that you hear from bullies everywhere.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: We need to hick your ass as soon as you
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: get down.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: And they were all bigger than me, so I actually,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: for once was genuinely scared.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: Usually I was just upset.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to do this, and it was I
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: didn't want to deal with this. I'm gonna leave, and
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: I would try and I would end up in a
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: fight anyway, because when you try to walk away from
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: a bully, they will come after you almost every time
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: until you have demonstrated that they shouldn't. And so these guys,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: since there were four of them, and since I was
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: the smallest of the bunch. I came up with a plan.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: Instead of stopping like they said, I started swinging higher.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: And of course they're all, Oh.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: You're gonna try to jump and run away. You're gonna
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: have to come down sometime. We're gonna get you, you know,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: And at that point, like I realized, I couldn't jump
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: and just run away from them because I was asthmatic.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: I would get about fifteen or twenty feet and start
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: slowing down, and they were gonna out run me in
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: two seconds. So I was gonna have to do something else. Right,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: So I had space around me, I could twist myself
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: around back and forth and make the swing move around
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: back and forth without actually hitting the bars. So I did,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: and that gave me a bit of an ability to kick,
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: and I kicked every single one of those guys in
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: the head. I knocked two of them out, and then
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: I jumped and ran. Kind of thought I knocked all
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: of them down. So I thought maybe if they had
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: to get up and then chase me, and they were
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: maybe you know, struggling a little bit, then I might
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: have a chance to actually get away from them. But
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: an older guy that kind of knew the history of
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: how the equipment in that park got put there, stopped
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: them and lectured them like for all he was worth,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: and just pretty much saved my butt because those guys
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: probably would have chased me down. The two that were
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: upright away probably would have chased me down. When I
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: turned around, all four of them were sitting down. He
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: was yelling at all of them. So but it did
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: create a situation. Like I heard back from other kids
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: later that all four of those boys gave two reasons
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: when they said not to pick on me later. You know,
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: one of them was that that guy who was a
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: friend of our family and he knew that the history
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: was that that park was one of the reasons that
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: the Republicans asked my mom to run for city council
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: as our ward councilman. When I was growing up. She
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: had gotten a bunch of moms together and cleaned up
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: that park, and then she went to the city and
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: pointed out, you know, this park has been an iceore
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: for this long and this stuff's wrong with it, and
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: so on got them to agree that if she could
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: get equipment donated, that they would maintain that park like
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: they did the ones on the money side of town.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: And so then she went around to the Eagles and
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: the Quanas Club and you know all the little you know,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: Royal Order Buffalo clubs that you know in the Flintstones
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: they don't actually do anything right, but in the real
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: world they do. She got them to donate equipment and
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: the city helped install it, and the city maintained that
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: park after that, and that swing set was part of
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: that equips and he knew that, you know, he was
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: aware of it because he was old enough he remembered
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: when he was our age that park was not a
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: place to play. So but it was the other end
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: of it was they told about getting getting knocked out,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: and I didn't have to deal with any more guys
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: from their group picking on me after that.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that was they didn't want to get kicked
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: in the head again, right, And there was one of
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: the few times, like I still felt bad about it,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: you know, because I worried later, I don't know how
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: bad that kind of like this concussion and you get
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: knocked out, that's a concussion. Yeah. So I had a
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: few from fights growing up in that park, and I
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: handed out a few, so you know all of us
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: that grew up there, but you you do learn. There's
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: two things you learn from a situation like that violence
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: is a shitty means of negotiation by itself.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: But the other.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: Thing that you learn is that you know you you
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: you have alternatives, and you should use them, especially if
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: you get into if you get to a situation where
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: the other guy is the one who can knock you out.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: So it's important that we negotiate with countries like this
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: from a position of strength. If if an aggressor thinks
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: they can win a fight, they have no incentive right
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: to do anything but fight. Yeah, so you have to
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: be able to make them wonder can I win this
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: fight or make them afraid I can't win this fight?
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: If you want to have peace, it's unfortunate, but that's
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: that's the way of the world.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: You have to understand. If you want peace.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: In a world where aggressors exist, you have to have deterrence.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: There has to be a consequence for aggression, and the
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: consequence has to come from the target.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: M absolutely right.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look up how to pronounce this guy's name? Russia's
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: Defense minister Andre Belasov. I hope that's correct. Warned in
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: December of direct conflict between Moscow and NATO within the
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: next decade. Preparing for war has been shown by the
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: decisions made at NATO summit held in July of this year.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: He added that Moscow must be prepared for any development,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: including a possible military conflict with NATO in Europe in
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: the next decade. When asked about Belasov's comments, the Pentagon
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: told Newsweek in a statement in December that the United
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: States condemns irresponsible escalatory rhetoric. US Department of Defense spokesperson
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: Javon Ransky, uh no, that's rasnake, Sorry. Dyslexia told Newsweek
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: in December that the United States and NATO do not
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: seek a military conflict with Russia, right, So, why are
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: we giving weapons to a country that's in a military
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: conflict with Russia.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: It's just so fucking tiresome, it really is. I mean,
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 3: because it's it's I think the part that really frustrates
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 3: me is that it's so obvious that what we're doing
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: is protecting our money laundering scheme by giving money to Ukraine,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 3: you know, And why why Well, because they don't they
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 3: don't know, they don't pay attention that's why they don't
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 3: understand that, that's what this is. Yeah, but you know,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: we don't want no smoke with Russia. We leave Russia alone.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: Let them do what the hell they're gonna do, you know,
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 3: just leave them alone. Why why is anybody trying to
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 3: poke that fucking beyar That's just beyond me.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, I look at this and I'm
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out the logic for trying to maintain enmity.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: You know, even if we didn't, like, we don't have
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: to become best friends as nations with Russia. We don't
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: have to treat Russia like Canada, which, uh, Canada hasn't
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: been a very good.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: Friend for a while.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: No, no, Like I know some Canadians that have, but
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: the their administration, which they're not.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: Satisfied with, has hasn't been so good.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: But you know, we've we've had many countries we've had
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: peaceful relationships with that our interests aren't the same, they
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: align in some ways. We can we can negotiate trade
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: and you know, respect each other's boundaries and and stop there.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: Like that's all we have to do. It doesn't have
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: to be complicated, and we don't have to be trying
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: to take each other down, So don't I don't understand
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: the making it a goal to never make peace with Russia.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: The only possible reason that I can think of behind
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: that is that there are people making money from maintaining
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: that conflict, that military industrial complex absolutely right, like, so,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: I guess my thinking is we are doing the opposite
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: right now, speaking softly and carrying a big stick.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: We are.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: We've been a loud mouse, little brat handing sticks and
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: rocks to a combatant in a fight and expecting the
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: other combatant to not get mad at us for it.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: So what happens now, We don't know.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: We'll have to wait until we find out what Trump's
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: gonna do.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: This says.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: While it is unclear what Trump will do once in
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: office regarding sending a to Ukraine, Biden continues to make
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: a last minute push to ship weapons to Ukraine. Have
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: made concerns that the incoming administration may halt military hardware
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: deliveries to the country, and I hope they do. I
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: hope they do halt military hardware like and this, I
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: think they intended this.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: To be an anti Trump article, would you think so? Yeah,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: I really do. It clearly demonstrates that the Biden administration
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: has been weak, prolonged a war that should have been
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: over in months if if it happened at all, Right,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: it should never have happened in the first place, and
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: it is actually trying to get the United States dragged
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: into it, and that Trump may put a stop to that.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: It's just that the writer seems to be expressing some
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: sort of aversion to that outcome. Yeah, I mean, am
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: I am I reading it wrong? It does strike me
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: that that's what they were intending it to be anti Trump,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: But the information in it is pretty it's pretty hard
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: to spend, to spend well byen almost caused a nuclear war,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: and damn it, Trump's going to put a stop to that. Like, what.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 3: Come on, guys, Trump's bad, don't you know, He's just
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 3: trying to stop a fucking war from happening. My god, Yeah, I.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: Just I don't know. I'm a little the Newsweek, What
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: the hell? Men?
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: You understand that your offices are not radiation proof, right,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: so you know when when we see stuff like this,
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: and and it's again, I want to I'm going to
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: go back to the fact that this was sent to
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: me by a right winger who is not a men's
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: rights activist, who pointed out, I don't follow the men's
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: rights stuff, but and and pointed this out as a
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: men's issue.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: The men's issue is not a right or left wing thing,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: and it shouldn't be specifically a wing thing.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: Of any kind.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: Right. It's it's about men's human rights, and it's about
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: men's boundaries and men's lives and respect for who and
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: what men are as human beings. M But this is
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: the first outreach I've seen from either side in regard
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: to valuing men as yeah, you know, preventers of war
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: and the people who whose lives will be on the
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: line and in war as as you know, not being
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: disposable Like this is the first time I've seen somebody
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: send me something like that with with a statement like that,
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 2: and not be at least MR adjacent, you know, like I,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: left and right, within the movement, they all recognize this,
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: but you know, outside the movement, the left doesn't.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: Recognize it at all. And it's it's nice to.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: See that some but he does. And I can't say
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: she speaks for the whole right.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 3: But.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: She's definitely it was definitely interesting to see that. So
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 2: I hope, you know, from us, for US as a movement,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: I think that that it does indicate that. Remember I
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: was talking previously on other episodes about you know now
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: that now that we've seen a change of administration, you know,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: like I said, it's it's hope.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: It's not a.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: Guarantee, but we all need to get in there and
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: start communicating, writing letters to Congress, writing letters to the President,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 2: writing letters to our local politicians, and encouraging them to
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 2: make legal and social changes you know that that respect
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 2: the rights, the.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: Human rights of men.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Amen, I have a chance at changing things. And
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 2: you know, we don't know how big our window is.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: It could be four years, it could be longer. I
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: hope it's longer, but well, we should operate as though
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 2: it's four years.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: In fact, we should.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 2: Operate as though it's two years.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 2: So with that, this pretty much all I wanted with
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: this was to point out just how close to doomsday
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 2: we got on a doomsday clock, Like we started out
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: the year at like something like ninety seconds from midnight. Yeah,
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 2: and and then this was this was earlier this month.
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: We started out last year at ninety seconds to midnight.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 2: This was earlier this month, so.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the report.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 2: I think the report on the doomsday clock comes out
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: the twenty eighth. We'll see what they have to say.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but but.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know when people people talk about their votes,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: not mattering guys.
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: Women are voting.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: Therefore your votes matter a hell of a lot.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No matter.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 2: How young you are, how close to just hitting voting
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 2: age you are, or how old you are, they're not
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: paying attention. So it's up to you. Mm hmm. So
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: with that, this was a pretty uh heavy article. It
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't so much dry as it was like the information
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of like my hair on my arms
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 2: has been standing up the whole time. Yeah, like this
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 2: this shit, it's it's deja vu all over again.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 2: It scares you, you know, to think that you might
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: be going back to that time. Yeah, and uh, I
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: hope that that that changes.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 3: So, I mean I think it will. You know, I'm
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 3: full of nothing, but you know, uh, why can't I
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 3: think of the word that was on my.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 2: Tongue, optimism?
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, thank you very Why did I lose that word?
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my god? We don't get to use it very much.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, but you know, it's a feeling that I
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 3: haven't felt in a long time. Maybe that's why I
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: couldn't think of the word, you know, but it's it's
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 3: I'm just waiting for things to happen, like he's signing
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 3: executive orders and things like that, so you know, the
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 3: wheels are turning, and it's it's not going to happen
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 3: immediately on day one, but things are going to start turning,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 3: and I really do believe that, you know, we're going
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 3: to get back on track from where we left off
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 3: from his last presidency, you know, And I'm just really
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: excited and really hopeful for the future because it is
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 3: true what they were saying that if if he had
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 3: lost this election, then there just wouldn't be another chance
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: for Republicans to take hold for for probably for the
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 3: next for the rest of our lifetimes, you know what
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 3: I mean. So it's it's just I don't I don't
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 3: even know what to say. I'm still like blown away
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 3: that this is even happening, right, but it is, and
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 3: he's back and we're here, and so we've got we've
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 3: got you know, probably closer to two years, but at
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 3: least we have two years to start to write the ship.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 3: So I'm just very excited and I'm here for all
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: I like, like I said, I do have hope, and
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't before, so that's good. Yeah, like I do
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 2: have hope. And yeah, Freedom Cast has made a really
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: good point their respective intelligence agencies.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: He says, play like a game. Hope we can fix that.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: And he said Cold War needs to.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: Conclude, we don't see the reasoning anymore. And then those
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 2: are both true. I think gen X really needs to
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 2: make sure that happens that the boomers didn't. Although Trump
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 2: technically he's a boomer, so maybe some boomers will help
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: with that. But failing at commenting, says, if you die
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: in the game, you die in real life. Yeah in
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 2: this game. Yeah so so yeah, that's something that that.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe up to us.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 2: But I still think that millennial and zoomer men we
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: we can, we can bring them into the gen X fold,
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 2: even if the women don't come with them. And you know, yep,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: there's a big pile of shit in the middle of
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: the street. Guess whose turn it is to clean. Let's
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: grab a shovel and off we go.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 3: That's so.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 2: And and yeah, Derek Workman says, there are concerns with Trump,
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 2: but at least we can take a breath of relief
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: that the whole world will calm down. And that's that's
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: the fact, right. I'm still waiting to find out what
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 2: he means when he talks about cryptocurrency, because cryptocurrency completely
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 2: under government control is a bad thing.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well so somebody was talking about it earlier today
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 3: and it it I I really don't know if he
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 3: has such a good grasp on it. But basically what
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 3: he's talking about is this stable coins, right, That's that's
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 3: what they're calling stable coins. But they're backed by the
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 3: US dollar, so it's it's it's I don't think he
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 3: knows what he's doing when it comes to crypto, and
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 3: that's probably a good thing. Maybe he should just stay
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 3: away from it. Yeah, you know, it's not his milu.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
