SPEAKER_00: Hey, what's going on, everyone?
0:35
SPEAKER_00: Oh, shit.
0:35
SPEAKER_00: We just lost Eric.
0:36
SPEAKER_00: He'll be back.
0:37
SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
0:38
SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
0:40
SPEAKER_00: How's it going, everyone?
0:42
SPEAKER_00: It's Thursday.
0:45
SPEAKER_00: It's not April Fool's Day, which means... There he is.
0:49
SPEAKER_00: Hey, Eric's back.
0:50
SPEAKER_02: He just fucking dropped on me.
0:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'll be... Yeah, I know.
0:55
SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
0:55
SPEAKER_02: I'm in the car.
0:56
So I am actually going to be in my office,
0:57
everybody,
0:57
in a couple minutes.
0:58
SPEAKER_02: And as you can see, I am not Nick's dad today.
1:01
SPEAKER_00: No, not Nick's dad.
1:03
SPEAKER_00: That's all right.
1:04
SPEAKER_00: You're not quite the age to be my dad.
1:10
SPEAKER_00: No, you're not the age to be my dad.
1:12
SPEAKER_00: So that works out.
1:14
SPEAKER_00: No, not even close.
1:19
SPEAKER_02: I just thought I'd put something kind of quirky in today.
1:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, we're missing two of our four.
1:25
SPEAKER_00: So Walter's doing candidate interviews.
1:28
Evan is having his yearly physical and trying to remain healthy
1:37
and keep his VA
1:38
SPEAKER_00: ratings and ensure that the doctors don't kick him to the curb.
1:43
SPEAKER_00: So I'm glad Evan's at the doctor today.
1:45
SPEAKER_00: How are you doing, man?
1:46
SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Diogenes Club, everyone.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: I'm Nick Parrow, not your dad, with Dr. Eric Lulove, not my dad.
1:52
SPEAKER_00: Not your dad.
1:54
SPEAKER_02: As I'm walking back into my office, so, you know.
1:58
SPEAKER_00: Nick is actually still doing babysitting.
2:00
SPEAKER_02: He's got daddy duties today.
2:04
SPEAKER_00: Why?
2:04
SPEAKER_00: Because I'm in a show, man.
2:07
SPEAKER_00: What are you doing?
2:08
SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
2:09
SPEAKER_00: Kicking my desk and doing things on the floor?
2:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I get it.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: You can do that.
2:15
SPEAKER_00: You're fine.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh, and we lost him again.
2:21
It may look like I am in a earthquake throughout most of this
2:26
because my camera may shake a lot.
2:29
SPEAKER_00: Like it sounds like.
2:30
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to log back out and come back in real quick.
2:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're good, brother.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: Watch all the tech do the techie stuff.
2:37
SPEAKER_00: What's up, everybody?
2:38
SPEAKER_00: How's everyone's day going?
2:39
SPEAKER_00: Smash the heart as you've come on in.
2:41
SPEAKER_00: Say hi.
2:43
SPEAKER_00: It's good to have all of you with us on Substack.
2:46
SPEAKER_00: If anyone's here on Twitch or YouTube, hey, what's going on?
2:50
SPEAKER_00: It's good to see y'all.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: I'm Nick Parrow, joined by Eric Lulov, and this is the Diogenes Club.
2:55
SPEAKER_00: We've got two of four of us, and we're just going to have fun today.
2:59
SPEAKER_00: This is a show where we ask, where are the men?
3:02
SPEAKER_00: And one's leaving.
3:03
SPEAKER_02: I'll be right back.
3:06
And I just got a text from Fred Pogue going,
3:09
am I supposed to be live right now?
3:12
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to send him a message going, only if you want to be.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: Because we may see if Fred Pogue wants to join us.
3:29
So we may get an accidental Fred Polk today to join our club,
3:34
only if he wants to be.
3:41
SPEAKER_00: So we're about to get a Fred Polk sighting.
3:49
SPEAKER_00: And so this is going to be a great day.
3:50
SPEAKER_00: I'm excited about this.
3:51
SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
3:52
I'm texting while talking and I cannot do both at the same time
3:55
because my brain
3:56
SPEAKER_00: shuts down for a second and goes,
3:58
SPEAKER_00: you have to do this exclusively,
3:59
SPEAKER_00: or you can't do the other thing.
4:01
SPEAKER_00: It's hard for me to do.
4:02
SPEAKER_00: I can't multitask.
4:03
SPEAKER_00: Oh, look at this.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: We have a surprise, surprise visitor today.
4:07
SPEAKER_00: Surprise for him too.
4:11
SPEAKER_00: What's going on, Fred?
4:12
SPEAKER_00: How's it going, man?
4:14
SPEAKER_00: I invited you because I was like, hey, you know what?
4:17
Maybe Fred will want to do something on Thursday,
4:19
even if I don't say anything to Fred.
4:21
SPEAKER_00: I bet he'll probably be like, oh, was I supposed to be with you today?
4:25
SPEAKER_00: Like, fuck, shit.
4:26
SPEAKER_00: I messed up, man.
4:28
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I did.
4:30
SPEAKER_03: I really thought I messed up.
4:31
SPEAKER_00: I was like, wait a minute.
4:32
SPEAKER_00: What?
4:32
SPEAKER_00: What?
4:33
SPEAKER_00: If you want,
4:34
you should have an email too from Substack from Sunday saying is
4:38
inviting you and
4:40
SPEAKER_00: you can accept that and your name will show up on the chat.
4:43
SPEAKER_00: Um, so that you're, um,
4:47
SPEAKER_00: so that your subscribers get notified that you've joined us.
4:50
SPEAKER_03: Um, great.
4:51
SPEAKER_03: Like,
4:52
SPEAKER_00: so if you want to do that,
4:53
SPEAKER_00: um,
4:54
SPEAKER_00: you can do that while we're saying,
4:55
SPEAKER_00: hi,
4:56
SPEAKER_00: we were about to have Eric Lulove back.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: He's, uh, disappeared on us.
5:00
Um,
5:01
again,
5:02
he's the,
5:03
he's the magic man who keeps flooding in and out of the show.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: Um, and we have all our friends in the chat.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: Um,
5:11
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you've been with the Diogenes Club before.
5:13
SPEAKER_00: I haven't.
5:15
SPEAKER_03: You invited me and then I was going through a depression because of Iran.
5:23
SPEAKER_03: And I was like, man, I just can't do it.
5:27
SPEAKER_03: And I've kind of crawled out of that.
5:29
SPEAKER_03: Because the thing was, the Iraq War...
5:34
SPEAKER_03: is what got me politically active.
5:38
And I had hurt my knees in a training accident and subsequently
5:44
other stuff too.
5:46
SPEAKER_03: There he is.
5:47
SPEAKER_03: There he is.
5:49
SPEAKER_03: Hey, Frederick.
5:50
SPEAKER_03: What's up, man?
5:52
SPEAKER_03: I was telling the folks like,
5:55
SPEAKER_03: you know,
5:55
SPEAKER_03: a little bit about when I got depressed and,
5:57
SPEAKER_03: you know,
5:58
SPEAKER_00: I,
5:58
SPEAKER_03: uh,
5:58
SPEAKER_03: it was over the Iran thing and it's because the Iraq war,
6:02
SPEAKER_03: I had friends that from my old reserve unit and people,
6:05
SPEAKER_03: I went to bootcamp and school of infantry with it,
6:07
SPEAKER_03: sir.
6:08
SPEAKER_03: Some of them didn't come home and a lot of them came home all messed up.
6:11
SPEAKER_03: Cause that's the thing about,
6:13
SPEAKER_03: When you're in a reserve unit, you're all from the same area.
6:16
SPEAKER_03: So you see them.
6:18
SPEAKER_03: Right.
6:18
So I would see them at the VA and guys I knew that I'd come up
6:22
with because I got
6:24
SPEAKER_03: hurt and I was out and I met.
6:26
SPEAKER_03: I mean,
6:27
and I had a clear contrast of how they were before and then how
6:31
they were after
6:31
SPEAKER_03: they deployed.
6:33
SPEAKER_03: And some of them had like they called it Gulf War Syndrome still then,
6:37
SPEAKER_03: but it was the burn pit stuff.
6:39
SPEAKER_03: You know, they had that problem before it really got recognized.
6:43
Some of them were just PTSD out,
6:47
you know,
6:48
like they were they were just gone.
6:50
SPEAKER_03: And so when the Iran thing started happening, it was just like.
6:56
SPEAKER_03: All that stuff just got triggered in me again,
6:58
SPEAKER_03: where I was like,
6:58
SPEAKER_03: oh,
6:58
SPEAKER_03: my God,
6:59
SPEAKER_03: we're going to go through this whole thing again.
7:01
SPEAKER_03: Like, it's just like, oh, my God.
7:05
SPEAKER_03: And yeah,
7:05
SPEAKER_03: it hit me for a minute because it was,
7:08
SPEAKER_03: it was just,
7:08
SPEAKER_03: it put me back in that place of just like,
7:12
SPEAKER_03: we're going to see this again,
7:13
SPEAKER_03: again.
7:15
SPEAKER_02: So here's the question on the healthcare perspective for both of you,
7:17
SPEAKER_02: because you both,
7:18
SPEAKER_02: both of you served.
7:19
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
7:20
SPEAKER_02: I was in the fire service.
7:21
SPEAKER_02: It's different trauma for me.
7:22
SPEAKER_02: Right.
7:24
But can you honestly say that you have the proper coping
7:32
mechanisms now for
7:34
SPEAKER_02: decades later,
7:35
that you've been able to process the service and the trauma
7:39
that you've both been
7:40
SPEAKER_02: through,
7:41
SPEAKER_02: even with the injuries,
7:42
SPEAKER_02: right?
7:44
Listen,
7:45
we don't ever fully,
7:46
completely heal from the traumas that we live through,
7:49
right?
7:51
SPEAKER_02: And it can be everything from divorce to death of a parent,
7:54
SPEAKER_02: death of a child,
7:56
SPEAKER_02: injury serving in service to the country,
8:00
SPEAKER_02: injuries in service to a municipality,
8:04
SPEAKER_02: right?
8:07
It's the one thing I think that most people don't really
8:10
understand about men who
8:11
take that oath and who put in their life for service to another
8:15
individual is how
8:19
SPEAKER_02: much we carry,
8:21
SPEAKER_02: even after we've left.
8:25
I'm not even going to make the comment that being married and
8:28
having kids and
8:29
SPEAKER_02: having a family has its own traumas with it,
8:31
SPEAKER_02: because it does.
8:33
SPEAKER_02: And they can attest to that.
8:35
SPEAKER_02: But like, it's a different level of trauma.
8:39
SPEAKER_02: It's more, it's a deeper bond trauma that we all go through.
8:44
SPEAKER_02: service.
8:44
SPEAKER_02: And this even goes for the women that are serving too.
8:46
SPEAKER_02: The women have come back damaged too.
8:48
SPEAKER_02: And with different levels of trauma that they've been through,
8:50
SPEAKER_02: it's,
8:51
SPEAKER_02: it's,
8:51
SPEAKER_02: you know,
8:52
SPEAKER_02: and now you're adding in,
8:54
SPEAKER_02: you know,
8:54
SPEAKER_02: sexual abuse and verbal abuse and gender abuse and which,
8:59
SPEAKER_02: which we never had to go through,
9:01
SPEAKER_02: but it's,
9:02
SPEAKER_02: it's still either way,
9:03
SPEAKER_02: it's,
9:04
it's still traumatically dangerous to re-trigger all of these
9:08
things as a society.
9:10
And here I'm going to tie it back into the VA with a completely
9:13
VA that this
9:14
SPEAKER_02: government has been refusing to take care of and fund.
9:18
SPEAKER_02: Period.
9:19
SPEAKER_02: Like I said,
9:21
SPEAKER_02: my last article that published that hit the other day,
9:23
SPEAKER_02: this $200 billion,
9:25
SPEAKER_02: guys,
9:26
SPEAKER_02: fixes the entire apparatus of the VA.
9:30
SPEAKER_02: I mean,
9:30
SPEAKER_02: not like and I mean,
9:31
SPEAKER_02: like everything from like physical plant,
9:33
SPEAKER_02: HVAC,
9:33
SPEAKER_02: electrical,
9:34
SPEAKER_02: plumbing,
9:35
SPEAKER_02: infrastructure,
9:36
SPEAKER_02: the VBA claims processing.
9:40
SPEAKER_02: It funds the medical and prosthetic research at the VA.
9:44
SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean, this is this is what this money is.
9:47
SPEAKER_02: And this is what they're wasting their our fucking taxpayer money on.
9:51
And now they want to raid Medicare and Medicaid to pay for the
9:55
war and everything else.
9:57
SPEAKER_02: And they get their hands.
9:58
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
10:00
and and go ahead no no i i think i know but no i i mean i and
10:07
i'm part of that i
10:08
mean i know and i'll launch it to nick after this but it's like
10:11
i part of what has
10:13
helped me to answer your question on coping skills is i finally
10:17
got the help that i
10:19
SPEAKER_03: could through the va
10:21
SPEAKER_03: And it was it was just I was going to a I'll do my primary physical,
10:27
SPEAKER_03: you know,
10:28
SPEAKER_03: just my primary physical,
10:30
SPEAKER_03: my primary care.
10:31
SPEAKER_03: That was it.
10:32
SPEAKER_03: And they have they always give you the questionnaire.
10:33
SPEAKER_03: It's like, do you have thoughts of suicide or or not living?
10:36
SPEAKER_03: And I'm like,
10:37
SPEAKER_03: yeah,
10:37
SPEAKER_03: I don't have thoughts of suicide,
10:39
SPEAKER_03: but I have thoughts of like,
10:40
SPEAKER_03: man,
10:40
SPEAKER_03: I don't want to wake up and I want to be alive anymore.
10:42
SPEAKER_03: You know, I got you know, I just want it to end.
10:45
SPEAKER_03: And so I went to,
10:46
SPEAKER_03: they put me in therapy and my counselor was a vet in Iraq,
10:54
SPEAKER_03: you know,
10:54
SPEAKER_03: from the Iraq war who lost a kidney from burn pits.
10:58
And,
10:58
you know,
10:59
he's,
10:59
I'm like,
11:00
and I told him,
11:00
I said,
11:01
man,
11:01
I don't feel like I should be here.
11:02
SPEAKER_03: Like I haven't earned this.
11:03
SPEAKER_03: He's like, we have a spot.
11:06
SPEAKER_03: No one else is here.
11:06
SPEAKER_03: I want to help you.
11:08
SPEAKER_03: Do you want help?
11:09
SPEAKER_03: I said, yeah.
11:11
SPEAKER_03: And now where I'm at,
11:12
SPEAKER_03: and I mean,
11:14
SPEAKER_03: I was going two years of like,
11:17
SPEAKER_03: you know,
11:19
SPEAKER_03: of,
11:20
SPEAKER_03: you know,
11:20
SPEAKER_03: cognitive behavioral therapy,
11:22
SPEAKER_03: all this,
11:22
SPEAKER_03: like all this deep work,
11:23
SPEAKER_03: all this stuff,
11:24
SPEAKER_03: man.
11:24
SPEAKER_03: I was taking advantage of it.
11:25
SPEAKER_03: I was like, yes, I'll do that.
11:26
SPEAKER_03: Yes, I'll do that.
11:28
SPEAKER_03: And now what they're telling me is,
11:31
SPEAKER_03: and a lot of other veterans is like,
11:32
SPEAKER_03: we got to ration your care.
11:34
Unless you're actively suicidal,
11:38
we'll have four sessions and then you take three months off.
11:42
SPEAKER_03: Now, thankfully I've gotten some coping skills.
11:45
SPEAKER_03: where I can actually, you know, function.
11:48
SPEAKER_01: And I know where the line is.
11:51
SPEAKER_02: That is so dangerous to an individual.
11:54
Take 90 days off because we're only rationing your,
11:57
I mean,
11:58
that is not how mental health works.
12:01
SPEAKER_02: No, it's not.
12:03
That was the directive that came down from Doug Collins because
12:07
they want to do it
12:07
SPEAKER_03: like private,
12:08
SPEAKER_03: you know,
12:09
SPEAKER_03: private medical insurance.
12:11
SPEAKER_03: Oh, you only get so many sessions a year.
12:14
SPEAKER_03: Right?
12:15
SPEAKER_03: And so their response to that,
12:18
SPEAKER_03: which is kind of a triage option,
12:19
SPEAKER_03: they're like,
12:20
SPEAKER_03: well,
12:21
SPEAKER_03: okay,
12:21
SPEAKER_03: then we'll just do,
12:23
SPEAKER_03: we'll break it up into chunks.
12:25
SPEAKER_03: And because they're not hiring new staff,
12:27
SPEAKER_03: which they desperately need for mental health folks,
12:30
SPEAKER_03: you know,
12:31
SPEAKER_03: is they're like,
12:32
SPEAKER_03: well,
12:32
SPEAKER_03: there's only so much of us
12:34
SPEAKER_03: So,
12:35
SPEAKER_03: you know,
12:35
SPEAKER_03: and my sister who's like,
12:38
SPEAKER_03: who is disabled,
12:39
I'm her caregiver who has found in court that because her PTSD
12:44
is so severe,
12:44
SPEAKER_03: she can't work.
12:45
SPEAKER_03: She gets a special stipend for it.
12:47
SPEAKER_03: They said, oh, you don't need therapy anymore.
12:49
SPEAKER_03: You've had enough.
12:53
SPEAKER_02: Nick,
12:53
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to give you the floor in a second,
12:54
SPEAKER_02: but just to answer Frederick's comment,
12:58
that is the total opposite of how you are supposed to grow and
13:03
overcome your stuff
13:05
SPEAKER_02: as you grow older and to become a better,
13:07
SPEAKER_02: healthier adult.
13:08
SPEAKER_02: This is this reactive form of medicine which doesn't work anymore.
13:12
SPEAKER_02: It's not proactive.
13:15
SPEAKER_02: It's not giving you the tools and the resources to
13:19
SPEAKER_02: to say,
13:20
I'm going to overcome this and I'm going to become a healthier
13:23
individual so that I
13:23
am not reliant on all of these services and I can be a more
13:28
functioning adult and I
13:31
SPEAKER_02: can actually contribute back to society.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:39
SPEAKER_00: This whole bullshit where we're taking services away instead of...
13:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
13:46
SPEAKER_00: just fucking suck less.
13:48
SPEAKER_00: That's really it?
13:49
SPEAKER_00: Just suck less?
13:51
SPEAKER_03: I need more of those bottles, man.
13:52
SPEAKER_00: Fred, scan the QR code in the top corner for the sick of this shop.
13:57
We have the just suck less water bottles with sick of this shit
14:00
publications right above my...
14:03
SPEAKER_02: sometimes I just, I've done this show so many times with Nick.
14:06
SPEAKER_02: I know what he's thinking.
14:07
SPEAKER_02: And it's just, that's my cue.
14:08
SPEAKER_02: It's just, I just have to put up the box.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to get one.
14:10
SPEAKER_02: Like it's.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: That's really the bottom line is Doug Collins needs to suck less.
14:23
SPEAKER_00: He's a piece of fucking shit.
14:24
SPEAKER_00: He is an asshole who's killing veterans.
14:27
SPEAKER_00: That's the bottom line.
14:28
SPEAKER_00: This is killing veterans and it hurts us.
14:32
SPEAKER_00: What you were just saying, Fred, rationing mental health.
14:37
SPEAKER_00: I went through two and a half years of group therapy every week.
14:45
SPEAKER_00: Every week.
14:45
SPEAKER_00: We'd
14:47
SPEAKER_00: Or it was a group therapy session for an hour and a half.
14:51
SPEAKER_00: It was a bunch of us virtual.
14:55
SPEAKER_00: And it's just...
15:01
SPEAKER_00: Bullshit.
15:03
SPEAKER_00: Like, I went every fucking week.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: There was no... No, the therapy is amazing.
15:09
SPEAKER_00: The therapy is the best.
15:10
SPEAKER_00: Like,
15:11
SPEAKER_00: having access to that therapy through the VA,
15:14
SPEAKER_00: again,
15:14
SPEAKER_00: through the VA,
15:16
I had access to two and a half years of uninterrupted therapy
15:21
that I could leave or
15:23
SPEAKER_00: enter when I wanted to if I felt like I was done after the first session.
15:28
SPEAKER_00: And I willingly went back for...
15:31
two and a half years it was a six month long therapy group that
15:36
means i went five
15:38
SPEAKER_00: times five different times you know what i'm so much better for it i went
15:46
uninterrupted i even i stopped for a couple months and then i
15:49
was like you know
15:49
what i want to go back for a little while and i did i went back
15:53
and it was all
15:54
virtual they allow it's all virtual so there's people all
15:57
across from the region
15:58
SPEAKER_02: and there's plenty of just able to talk
16:02
SPEAKER_00: And I didn't have to leave.
16:03
SPEAKER_00: I didn't have to drive an hour to get there and then an hour back.
16:07
which it would be three and a half hours of my day if I had to
16:12
do it just to do
16:13
SPEAKER_00: therapy once a week.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: Like I had to work this into an old schedule for work, like an old job.
16:20
SPEAKER_00: They were mad that I had this every week.
16:22
SPEAKER_00: I was like, that's too fucking bad.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: You can't stop me from going.
16:25
SPEAKER_00: This is a medically approved session that I have to be at.
16:29
SPEAKER_00: Now that I have my own job, it doesn't matter.
16:31
SPEAKER_00: I can do my own things.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: And if I wanted to, like I ended up stopping going to therapy recently.
16:37
because i have a really good group of therapy like i have a
16:41
really good group
16:42
therapy session that i do multiple times a week it's called
16:46
notes of the week it's
16:46
called diogenes club it's called the intelligent masculinity
16:49
series it's called
16:51
chronically illing out i literally turn these into just virtual
16:55
therapy sessions
16:56
with my friends where we can talk and hang out and have fun and
16:58
build a community
16:59
SPEAKER_00: with other people because
17:01
SPEAKER_00: the VA gave me tools.
17:03
SPEAKER_00: The VA gave me uninterrupted access.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: That's the point.
17:09
SPEAKER_00: We need to be funding the VA so much more so that we,
17:13
SPEAKER_00: instead of firing mental health professionals,
17:16
SPEAKER_00: we hire 100,000 more.
17:20
SPEAKER_00: And then veterans could literally have their own personal mental health
17:24
SPEAKER_00: professional on speed dial.
17:26
SPEAKER_00: And you know what that would mean?
17:27
SPEAKER_00: That would increase
17:28
everybody's access to fucking mental health because the va is
17:32
so important it is so
17:34
tailored to us and our mental health which and bodily health
17:39
and other concerns
17:40
because we have specialized care needs that then go out and
17:44
help every fucking
17:46
SPEAKER_00: buddy else prosthetics are so much better because
17:50
SPEAKER_00: Veterans.
17:51
Prosthetics are the way they are and are so advanced because
17:54
veterans require them.
17:55
That is a VA...
17:57
I mean,
17:57
it's not a VA-specific issue because other people are amputees
18:01
as well.
18:02
SPEAKER_00: But it started at the VA.
18:04
SPEAKER_00: All of our advancements start at the fucking VA.
18:06
Do you guys know what the VA budget is for their medical and
18:09
prosthetic research?
18:11
SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's like... It's minuscule.
18:13
SPEAKER_03: It's like... It's $943 million.
18:15
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
18:20
SPEAKER_02: It's only nine hundred and forty three million dollars.
18:23
Now,
18:23
you couple that with the cut to the NIH at eighteen point six
18:28
billion.
18:30
SPEAKER_02: And the cut to the CDC at three point six billion.
18:34
This two hundred billion dollar tippy top request that,
18:37
you know,
18:37
Keggy wants.
18:38
SPEAKER_02: Right.
18:38
SPEAKER_02: OK.
18:42
SPEAKER_02: You know, this is, you know, no shit.
18:45
SPEAKER_02: Right.
18:45
SPEAKER_02: But like, here's where these numbers matter.
18:47
SPEAKER_02: This is why numbers matter and why the taxpayer matter,
18:50
the taxpayer money matters and everything that they do
18:52
budgetary wise matters.
18:54
SPEAKER_02: And why I have been saying for the longest time,
18:57
SPEAKER_02: like we don't have serious people making serious,
18:59
SPEAKER_02: serious decisions.
19:00
SPEAKER_02: This is the fucked up shit you get.
19:02
SPEAKER_02: But that hundred,
19:04
SPEAKER_02: so you guys are saying like,
19:05
SPEAKER_02: okay,
19:06
SPEAKER_02: in the VA,
19:06
SPEAKER_02: we need more mental health professionals,
19:08
SPEAKER_02: okay?
19:09
But the problem is you can't have mental health professionals
19:11
unless you have MD or
19:13
SPEAKER_02: DO psychiatrists to run those programs,
19:16
SPEAKER_02: right?
19:16
So that 200 billion could have funded 100,000 new residency
19:23
positions across the
19:25
SPEAKER_02: country because Medicare and Medicaid,
19:27
SPEAKER_02: Medicare funds US residency training programs for medicine.
19:31
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
19:32
SPEAKER_02: This is, and I'm not saying we need a hundred thousand.
19:34
SPEAKER_00: This is a national health concern.
19:36
SPEAKER_00: This is a national security threat.
19:39
SPEAKER_00: They're trying to go on this.
19:41
SPEAKER_00: You guys have read it.
19:42
SPEAKER_02: This is a national security threat.
19:45
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
19:46
But they want to pretend financial security is about missiles
19:50
in the silos and
19:50
SPEAKER_02: missiles and more tomahawks and more tridents and more,
19:54
SPEAKER_02: you know,
19:55
SPEAKER_00: rapid missiles and more sidelines and more fucking whatever bullshit.
20:01
SPEAKER_00: More drones for Peter Thiel and J.D.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: Vance and his new book.
20:05
SPEAKER_03: Which are proving ineffective anyway in the new battlefield with Ukraine.
20:10
Yeah,
20:10
like we're building big missiles to fight drones at 3,000 times
20:13
the cost.
20:16
SPEAKER_03: Right.
20:16
SPEAKER_03: I'm anti-war as it gets, man.
20:18
SPEAKER_03: I mean,
20:18
SPEAKER_03: because if you look throughout history,
20:20
SPEAKER_03: anytime you occupy a country,
20:22
SPEAKER_03: it doesn't change anything.
20:24
SPEAKER_03: It just leads to more death and leads to more destruction.
20:26
SPEAKER_03: You become the invader and you become the target.
20:30
SPEAKER_03: Right.
20:30
SPEAKER_03: But I mean,
20:32
SPEAKER_03: just from a practical standpoint,
20:34
SPEAKER_03: just from a just like pure reality,
20:36
SPEAKER_03: it's ineffective.
20:39
SPEAKER_03: Ukraine has proved it.
20:41
SPEAKER_03: I mean,
20:41
they basically are making drones in garages and they've got
20:46
like DJs and other
20:47
SPEAKER_03: people that they've hired to run them,
20:49
SPEAKER_03: you know,
20:49
SPEAKER_03: like just countrymen.
20:51
SPEAKER_03: And they're,
20:52
SPEAKER_03: I mean,
20:52
SPEAKER_03: to give an example,
20:54
SPEAKER_03: like,
20:55
SPEAKER_03: and I'll jump back on topic,
20:57
SPEAKER_03: but it's like in World War II,
21:00
SPEAKER_03: the casualty rate,
21:01
like of the people that died in the field was one out of every
21:05
four casualties,
21:06
SPEAKER_03: one out of four.
21:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
21:07
By the time you get to Afghanistan,
21:10
like in Iraq,
21:12
in Fallujah,
21:13
it was one out of 12.
21:14
SPEAKER_03: In Afghanistan, it was as good as one out of 20.
21:19
SPEAKER_03: For the Russians on the front in Ukraine right now, it's 56%.
21:24
The Ukrainians are about to do something that's never happened
21:32
in the history of warfare.
21:33
SPEAKER_03: They're going to win by attrition.
21:35
right exactly and we're giving them intelligence on our own
21:44
service members to pass
21:46
to iran so that they can do the same thing ukraine is doing to
21:50
them to us and
21:51
SPEAKER_00: they're gonna hurt our troops i was terrified of this
22:00
You know,
22:00
Marine...
22:00
Because,
22:00
you know...
22:01
Because who do they deploy first?
22:02
SPEAKER_03: They deploy Marines.
22:03
SPEAKER_03: Marines.
22:04
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
22:04
SPEAKER_03: They're going to put them in Karga...
22:06
SPEAKER_03: They're going to...
22:06
SPEAKER_03: While we bomb Karga...
22:07
SPEAKER_03: They're going to put them on a death trap.
22:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
22:10
SPEAKER_02: While we took Karga... Yeah, Iranians are going to pick that part.
22:12
SPEAKER_02: First of all, have you actually seen photos of Karga Island?
22:14
SPEAKER_02: There is no cover on that island.
22:16
SPEAKER_02: It is completely wide open.
22:17
SPEAKER_00: It's so fucking small.
22:19
It's like standing on the roof of your house with a painted
22:22
target on top of it.
22:23
SPEAKER_00: Also, here's a real question.
22:25
SPEAKER_00: As a... Some... As just...
22:29
SPEAKER_00: a normal human being,
22:30
SPEAKER_00: if you were looking at the map in that region,
22:34
SPEAKER_00: strategically,
22:36
SPEAKER_00: and hold on,
22:38
SPEAKER_00: let me just do this real quick.
22:42
SPEAKER_00: We're going to pull up a map real quick and show it.
22:44
SPEAKER_00: Because I want to show how fucking stupid this is.
22:50
SPEAKER_00: What we're about to do.
22:53
SPEAKER_00: This is also a really cool map.
22:54
SPEAKER_00: So just, this is neat.
22:57
SPEAKER_02: Ladies and gentlemen, this is Geography 101 with Nick Perrow.
23:00
Ladies and gentlemen,
23:02
welcome onto the screen,
23:03
the Iran war live map that I like to track.
23:07
SPEAKER_00: This is a live map that gives me pretty good.
23:10
SPEAKER_03: I need you to do this like you are like, you know, an E9 or an E8.
23:15
SPEAKER_03: Let's see the straighter who moves.
23:17
SPEAKER_03: It's over to the left.
23:18
SPEAKER_00: All right.
23:19
So looking on this screen right here on the northern quadrant,
23:23
you have Iran.
23:24
on the midwestern quadrant you have kuwait and up on the
23:31
northeast quadrant or
23:33
northwest quadrant you have iraq here you have where we are in
23:40
question let's let's
23:42
SPEAKER_00: zoom in on this is
23:47
SPEAKER_02: So to translate for you non-map, this is a map of the Persian Gulf.
23:52
SPEAKER_00: That little tip right there.
23:54
SPEAKER_00: This is the Strait of Hormuz right here.
23:56
SPEAKER_02: That's it.
23:57
SPEAKER_02: That's the Strait of Hormuz.
23:58
SPEAKER_02: That's it.
23:58
SPEAKER_02: That little narrow passage.
24:00
SPEAKER_00: This way the fuck up here is Karg Island.
24:06
SPEAKER_00: Karg Island is right fucking here.
24:10
SPEAKER_02: So put this in perspective for everybody.
24:12
SPEAKER_02: This is literally the distance between Detroit and Minneapolis.
24:18
SPEAKER_02: That's how far apart this is.
24:19
SPEAKER_00: So Carg Island, let's zoom back out on Carg Island.
24:23
SPEAKER_00: Now let's go down to where the real actual strategic point is.
24:30
SPEAKER_03: There.
24:30
SPEAKER_00: Way to fuck down here.
24:31
SPEAKER_02: This is the first choke point.
24:33
SPEAKER_02: This isn't even all of the choke points.
24:35
SPEAKER_02: That's the first choke point.
24:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
24:38
So we want to take this little island way up here,
24:44
land maybe like 5,000,
24:47
6,000 Marines or more.
24:48
SPEAKER_00: There's two MEUs in the area.
24:51
SPEAKER_00: The 82nd Airborne is amassing as well.
24:54
But we're deciding to put them on a fucking island right here,
24:59
right on the coast of Iran.
25:03
SPEAKER_00: Kuwait, which is across the street from it,
25:07
SPEAKER_00: is getting fucking bombarded daily by Iran.
25:11
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
25:13
And we want to put troops way up here all by themselves with
25:18
the actual point of
25:20
SPEAKER_00: entry that we need to be worrying about way down here.
25:24
SPEAKER_00: And we ain't doing that.
25:26
SPEAKER_00: We don't seem to care about that.
25:29
SPEAKER_00: We just want the oil part.
25:32
SPEAKER_02: I know, but Nick, what you should do is pull up a Google map.
25:36
SPEAKER_02: You know what this reminds me of?
25:38
SPEAKER_02: Forget that map.
25:39
If you just pull up a Google map of it,
25:41
it's like so much more obvious of what it is.
25:45
SPEAKER_03: You know what this reminds me of?
25:49
SPEAKER_03: Did you guys ever see Daffy Duck when he did Duck Dodgers?
25:53
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
25:55
SPEAKER_03: And Marvin the Martian?
25:56
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
25:58
And it reminds me of the end when they're both like they blew
26:00
up the planet and
26:01
SPEAKER_03: they're standing on this little thing.
26:03
SPEAKER_03: And he's like, this planet ain't big enough for the two of us, Buster.
26:06
SPEAKER_03: So off you go.
26:07
SPEAKER_02: Marvin.
26:08
SPEAKER_02: Marvin.
26:11
SPEAKER_03: And he's like, so conquered it.
26:13
SPEAKER_03: That's Carg Island.
26:14
SPEAKER_03: It's this little thing,
26:15
SPEAKER_03: you know,
26:16
SPEAKER_03: and they're going to put Trump's they're going to plant the MAGA flag,
26:20
SPEAKER_00: you know,
26:21
SPEAKER_00: and they want an Iwo Jima moment,
26:23
SPEAKER_00: but they forget that's that.
26:26
SPEAKER_00: A ton of people died during Iwo Jima.
26:28
SPEAKER_00: They want that picture.
26:30
SPEAKER_02: It was only 12,000, wasn't it?
26:33
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
26:35
SPEAKER_03: It was a massive death toll.
26:37
SPEAKER_02: That wasn't wounded.
26:39
SPEAKER_02: That was killed in action.
26:41
SPEAKER_02: That was one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific.
26:43
SPEAKER_02: It was worse than Midway.
26:46
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so here we have Karg Island.
26:50
SPEAKER_00: This is a map of Karg Island.
26:53
SPEAKER_00: This is an overlay.
26:55
SPEAKER_00: Do they look like there are trees or mountains?
26:58
SPEAKER_02: No, but I see a lot of shit that can explode.
27:00
SPEAKER_00: I see a lot of oil refinery-looking shit that when you drop a bomb on...
27:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
27:09
SPEAKER_03: but Nick,
27:09
you're not counting the water source that's there and all the
27:15
supplies that you can
27:16
SPEAKER_03: forage.
27:17
SPEAKER_03: And all this empty space over here.
27:19
That you wouldn't have to resupply by either air or ship and
27:23
those would get bombed.
27:25
SPEAKER_03: Because the only way,
27:28
SPEAKER_03: I mean,
27:28
SPEAKER_03: again,
27:29
SPEAKER_03: supplying by ship,
27:30
SPEAKER_03: you'd either have to truck it in from Saudi Arabia and go across.
27:34
SPEAKER_03: Or you come through the straighter hummus.
27:37
which we don't want to control which seems like the point that
27:41
we don't want to
27:41
control um and i mean there is this little island north of karg
27:46
island that could
27:47
be turned into a landing strip i guess if you want to let let
27:50
our planes get blown
27:51
the fuck up um because we're stupid dude pilots love that
27:54
military warfare for
27:56
SPEAKER_00: dummies
27:58
SPEAKER_03: Pilots love to fly close to Kid Rock's house or land under fire.
28:03
SPEAKER_03: That's the things they love.
28:05
SPEAKER_02: They do like doing flyovers over Kid Rock's house.
28:15
SPEAKER_02: I'm thinking about how you land 5,000 trips on that island, guys.
28:18
And then you don't have enough personnel to watch the entire
28:21
perimeter of the island.
28:24
SPEAKER_02: And then these little swift boats come on with six to ten guys.
28:28
SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no, no.
28:29
SPEAKER_00: What you do is you land all the troops.
28:33
SPEAKER_00: Then you point battleships because Trump likes battleships.
28:38
SPEAKER_00: Then you point battleships around each point of the island.
28:43
SPEAKER_00: So it's like this big circle of battleships.
28:47
SPEAKER_00: And so you make what you actually are doing is you make a big bullseye.
28:51
out of your ships facing outwards so that the Iranians know
28:55
exactly where to target
28:57
SPEAKER_00: and tell them.
28:58
No,
28:58
you take all the ships and you,
29:00
you line them up like at Pearl Harbor,
29:02
line them all up.
29:03
SPEAKER_00: We're going to park all of the ships around.
29:05
SPEAKER_00: I mean, hold on.
29:05
SPEAKER_00: Let me pull the map back up.
29:07
SPEAKER_00: Give me a second.
29:07
SPEAKER_00: Y'all let me pull the map back up.
29:09
SPEAKER_00: We're going to just,
29:11
SPEAKER_00: we're going to,
29:12
SPEAKER_00: we're going to show where,
29:13
SPEAKER_00: where we're going to park our battleships today.
29:15
SPEAKER_00: We're going to play the game of battleship.
29:17
SPEAKER_00: And just remember this Island is like, uh,
29:20
mile off the coast if most not even like right off the coast of
29:25
iran we're just
29:26
going to put our battleships all around i'm trying to figure a
29:30
way to do this like
29:30
john stewart would talk about this and it's just i would say we
29:34
would put an
29:35
aircraft carrier right here in the middle because then we could
29:38
if we turned it
29:38
sideways if we put enough of them there we might be able to
29:41
connect the island
29:43
and make a bridge of aircraft carriers that's what we need we
29:48
need to do like you
29:49
know a civil war era pontoon bridge across there i mean it's
29:55
almost like they could
29:56
there's it's not too far from the iranian coast i mean it's
30:01
almost close enough
30:02
SPEAKER_00: where sarah palin could see see russia um so this is
30:07
SPEAKER_03: This is where my veteran humor is going to come out.
30:08
Why don't you just dress the Marines and dress blues so when
30:11
they get blown the
30:12
SPEAKER_03: hell up,
30:12
SPEAKER_03: they're all ready to be buried.
30:14
SPEAKER_03: They're ready.
30:15
SPEAKER_03: They're ready.
30:17
SPEAKER_00: Make sure the Navy is also standing at attention on the...
30:24
deck of the carriers so they're all in their whites and they're
30:27
all just standing
30:28
there parading themselves as they just wait just put them there
30:33
just have the gun
30:36
salutes at the drones as they're coming that way we're saving
30:40
money on ammunition
30:42
save them money too because then they don't have to shoot so
30:44
many drones we're
30:46
SPEAKER_00: going to take this fucking island and then they're going to swarm it
30:50
SPEAKER_00: with drones.
30:52
Iran hasn't been using that many drones compared to other
30:56
places or even their high
30:58
SPEAKER_00: precision weaponry on us in the way that they could.
31:01
SPEAKER_00: They're just using old stock.
31:03
SPEAKER_02: Martin in the chat had a great thing.
31:05
SPEAKER_02: You know how Trump has the affinity of liking his name on things?
31:10
SPEAKER_02: This will become the Donald J. Trump Karg Island Marine Memorial.
31:17
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
31:17
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I was about to say that.
31:19
SPEAKER_03: Let's just go ahead and allocate the money for the memorial now.
31:23
SPEAKER_03: Since,
31:23
SPEAKER_03: you know,
31:24
the Republicans don't want to actually impeach this fucker and
31:27
they want to let
31:28
SPEAKER_03: this...
31:28
Everybody who wants to vote for this War Powers Resolution
31:31
wants to drag this on
31:32
SPEAKER_03: for two or three weeks because they're too embarrassed to say,
31:36
SPEAKER_03: you know,
31:36
SPEAKER_03: hey,
31:37
SPEAKER_03: the president shouldn't be doing this illegal war.
31:39
SPEAKER_03: Just go ahead and do the Marine Memorial now.
31:42
SPEAKER_03: Just set the money aside.
31:43
SPEAKER_03: Because that's what's going to happen.
31:45
SPEAKER_02: Can you draw a directional...
31:47
like a range from carg island to um i don't know on this one
31:53
let me let me switch
31:54
over to a google map and then we can we can do that because
31:58
this one has less
31:59
functionality in some of the areas okay i remember being
32:04
furious about a rock which
32:07
SPEAKER_03: had had people forget had a shell of an army and
32:12
SPEAKER_03: Had been under like a no-fly zone for a decade or more.
32:17
SPEAKER_02: And we landed 150,000 troops there, by the way.
32:20
SPEAKER_03: A coalition of the willing, right?
32:23
SPEAKER_03: And all this stuff that we still have.
32:25
SPEAKER_02: With congressional approval,
32:27
SPEAKER_02: with UN approval,
32:28
SPEAKER_02: with our allies,
32:30
with a consortium of countries that were willing to back up
32:32
what we were doing.
32:35
SPEAKER_03: And you want to play on a ground invasion with two mews and freaking no
32:46
SPEAKER_03: congressional approval,
32:47
SPEAKER_03: no allies,
32:48
nothing against a nation of 90 million people that is literally
32:53
surrounded by
32:54
SPEAKER_03: geographic features of mountains on three sides.
32:56
SPEAKER_03: It's a natural fortress.
32:59
SPEAKER_03: And with two deserts in the center of it.
33:01
SPEAKER_02: There's a reason why Genghis Khan never took Persia.
33:07
SPEAKER_03: It's the reason Christ has got his ass handed to him in Barthia.
33:10
SPEAKER_03: Like everybody that's gone there.
33:12
This is where I would love to have General Patton because he
33:16
was such a student of
33:17
history that he would have basically said this is the dumbest
33:20
fucking idea on the
33:21
SPEAKER_02: planet.
33:22
all right here's we had our general mattis mattis said yeah
33:26
essentially you know
33:28
he's just like yeah i don't think i don't think you can go in
33:31
there and win it yeah
33:31
no shit like it's like trying to invade western china good luck
33:36
you know well alan
33:39
tried that didn't work napoleon tried that didn't work oh god
33:43
no it's the same way
33:45
SPEAKER_03: it's the same terrain you know
33:48
The only people that were ever successful in China were the
33:50
Mongols because they
33:51
SPEAKER_03: said,
33:51
SPEAKER_03: yeah,
33:51
we're just going to go past this with our horses and we're
33:53
going to keep going.
33:54
SPEAKER_03: We're just going to ignore it.
33:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:56
SPEAKER_00: We're just going to skip over you here.
33:58
SPEAKER_00: All right, Eric, what did you want to distance for?
33:59
SPEAKER_02: Even the Japanese didn't go as far west as the mountains.
34:02
SPEAKER_02: They couldn't penetrate any further deeper.
34:04
SPEAKER_03: No.
34:05
Mountains are,
34:07
even today with all our technology,
34:10
they're still a pain in the ass to get over.
34:13
SPEAKER_03: You know, they're a natural barrier for a reason.
34:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
34:16
SPEAKER_00: They're also easy to build inside of and hard to break.
34:21
SPEAKER_03: Well,
34:21
SPEAKER_03: and there's these passes you go down,
34:23
SPEAKER_03: and they're kind of natural funnels where you're just like,
34:25
SPEAKER_03: oh,
34:26
SPEAKER_03: they're right there.
34:27
SPEAKER_02: Kills them.
34:28
SPEAKER_02: Ask the Syrians how that worked out for them in 73.
34:30
SPEAKER_02: Right.
34:32
SPEAKER_02: Right?
34:33
SPEAKER_02: When they went through the Golan Heights,
34:34
and the Israelis just picked them off one at a time coming
34:36
through the Golan
34:37
SPEAKER_02: Heights.
34:38
SPEAKER_00: There it is.
34:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it didn't work out too well.
34:40
SPEAKER_02: No?
34:41
SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's and that's what kills me.
34:43
SPEAKER_02: I mean, just look at the terrain, everybody.
34:45
SPEAKER_02: Just look at the terrain.
34:46
SPEAKER_02: It is not hospitable.
34:48
SPEAKER_02: No, at all.
34:51
SPEAKER_02: Like, no, it's not.
34:54
SPEAKER_03: Well,
34:54
and that's another thing people forget is like the Bush regime
34:57
with the coalition
34:58
SPEAKER_03: of willing and all this stuff in Iraq.
35:01
SPEAKER_03: They had plans to go into Iran.
35:04
SPEAKER_03: John Bolton and John McCain, remember his bomb, bomb, bomb Iran?
35:08
SPEAKER_03: That was the next stop.
35:10
SPEAKER_03: They're like, oh, we're just going to have this.
35:12
SPEAKER_03: That's why they built the Emerald City and that massive embassy.
35:17
SPEAKER_03: Because the plan was,
35:18
SPEAKER_03: we're going to steamroll Iraq,
35:19
SPEAKER_03: we're going to have everything here,
35:21
SPEAKER_03: and then we're going to Iran.
35:22
And Iraq was such a problem,
35:25
even with a defeated army,
35:27
even with 10 years of a no-fizer.
35:29
SPEAKER_00: Same with Afghanistan.
35:30
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, all this.
35:31
SPEAKER_03: It was like...
35:33
that was such a problem they go yeah maybe we ought to rethink
35:36
this whole Iran
35:37
thing even the Bush regime is as criminal as they were were
35:41
like and stupid as they
35:43
were said nah son this ain't a good idea we're not doing this
35:48
and how many body
35:50
bags how many body bags came back from the Gulf War right too
35:55
many but it wasn't
35:57
SPEAKER_02: even the body bags guys it was it was the level of of
36:04
SPEAKER_02: of veterans that came back wounded, damaged, broken.
36:10
SPEAKER_02: That was the true cost of the war.
36:12
SPEAKER_02: It wasn't even the money.
36:14
It was how many Americans went to go fight over there that
36:18
wound up broken.
36:21
SPEAKER_03: And most of them came after the Mission Accomplished banner.
36:24
SPEAKER_03: It was the IEDs, the improvised explosive devices on the roads.
36:32
SPEAKER_03: It was Fallujah.
36:34
SPEAKER_03: It was Kirkuk.
36:35
It was all these things when these guys were out on patrol and
36:40
their Humvees are
36:42
SPEAKER_03: getting blown up and they're coming back with head trauma.
36:44
SPEAKER_03: They're coming back with missing limbs.
36:45
SPEAKER_03: They're coming back with... We literally had it... I remember...
36:50
They that troops were grafting improvised like scrap metal onto
36:56
the Humvees to try
36:58
SPEAKER_03: to deflect from shrapnel.
37:00
SPEAKER_03: Because,
37:00
SPEAKER_03: again,
37:01
like they sent the Humvees over and they were just they just
37:04
had they had the flap,
37:06
SPEAKER_03: the canvas flap on the door.
37:08
SPEAKER_03: Those are the first ones that went over.
37:10
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
37:10
SPEAKER_03: And it was just, you might as well have been naked to any roadside bomb.
37:15
SPEAKER_03: Or if it blew up underneath you, it's like you're done.
37:19
SPEAKER_03: The head trauma, you might have survived, but you're done.
37:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm looking at the map of Iran, right?
37:25
SPEAKER_02: And you're looking at where Tehran is located, right?
37:29
SPEAKER_02: There's no access to the Caspian Sea.
37:31
There is not a single ally around the Caspian Sea that's going
37:33
to give us the green
37:34
SPEAKER_02: light to launch a ground invasion of
37:38
SPEAKER_02: through the Caspian C, which is not going to happen.
37:40
SPEAKER_02: Right.
37:40
SPEAKER_03: Cause they don't want to get, they don't want to.
37:42
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
37:42
SPEAKER_02: So you're not.
37:43
And so what's your,
37:45
your only point of entry is through the straighter hormones.
37:49
SPEAKER_00: Well,
37:49
SPEAKER_00: the only allies that we're trying to lean on for,
37:52
SPEAKER_00: say,
37:53
SPEAKER_00: Tehran's side and the northern side are the Kurdish.
37:58
SPEAKER_00: No, are the Kurdish forces.
38:00
SPEAKER_02: Oh, the ones in Tabriz, right?
38:01
SPEAKER_02: The ones outside.
38:03
SPEAKER_00: Historically,
38:04
SPEAKER_00: you know,
38:04
we've left to the wind to their own devices and let them die
38:07
and given them up and
38:09
SPEAKER_00: betrayed them.
38:09
SPEAKER_02: When you look at the center of Iran, okay?
38:14
And you're looking and you're looking at the Kavir National
38:17
Park area and you're
38:18
looking at these like where like if in Isfahan where they
38:21
actually have one of the
38:22
SPEAKER_02: nuclear silos buried deep into that mountain down there.
38:25
SPEAKER_02: Like you're talking a couple at least 150 miles plus inland.
38:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
38:33
SPEAKER_02: You don't have enough resources to get from,
38:36
SPEAKER_02: even if you were to take Carg Island,
38:38
SPEAKER_02: for example,
38:38
SPEAKER_02: and use Bush Air as your landing site,
38:42
SPEAKER_02: right?
38:43
SPEAKER_02: And then move northwest into country.
38:47
SPEAKER_02: You're not going to get there.
38:49
SPEAKER_02: There's no way.
38:51
Not on any grand scheme of this country's layout are you going
38:56
to ever get there.
38:58
SPEAKER_03: And good luck,
38:59
SPEAKER_03: even if you could,
39:01
SPEAKER_03: even if you had the will to do it,
39:03
you're going to grease the treads of your vehicles with the
39:07
blood of the troops
39:07
SPEAKER_03: you're going to spend on this.
39:10
Good luck maintaining that supply chain,
39:12
even if it runs through Saudi Arabia.
39:14
SPEAKER_00: Good luck.
39:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
39:16
SPEAKER_00: Really, what is the end goal here?
39:20
SPEAKER_00: Do they want to control the Strait of Hormuz?
39:22
SPEAKER_00: Because if they want to control the Strait of Hormuz,
39:26
SPEAKER_00: Park Island shouldn't be your first fucking stop.
39:29
SPEAKER_02: No, you take the Strait of Hormuz.
39:30
SPEAKER_00: You take the Strait of Hormuz.
39:32
SPEAKER_00: You take Bandar Abbas or you take Minab and you control the two major...
39:36
SPEAKER_02: You take Keshem and Serkic and...
39:38
SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
39:38
and you take the coastal cities and the coastal areas so that
39:43
they don't have ships
39:45
SPEAKER_00: coming at you from behind.
39:46
SPEAKER_00: Right.
39:48
And then you have to...
39:49
But the problem is,
39:50
this is just a target for Iran.
39:52
SPEAKER_00: They can target that from literally any part of their country.
39:56
SPEAKER_00: They could launch a drone or a hypersonic missile and hit.
40:05
SPEAKER_00: What's the point, y'all?
40:07
SPEAKER_00: Any boat that goes through the Strait of Hormuz moving forward,
40:10
SPEAKER_00: if the US and Israel take control of it,
40:13
SPEAKER_00: or the coalition forces that are here take control of it,
40:18
literally every ship that goes through there is going to be
40:20
just an open target for
40:22
SPEAKER_00: Iran to hit.
40:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, you would think that the target should be Bandar Abbas.
40:26
SPEAKER_02: I mean, that would be the target.
40:29
I would be willing to bet everything I owned and my left hand
40:34
that we have already
40:35
SPEAKER_03: spent more time discussing this than was discussed with Trump.
40:41
SPEAKER_00: I mean, we're probably even using better pictures, too.
40:44
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
40:45
Because I don't know what pictures he looks at,
40:48
but they seem to all be hand-drawn and...
40:51
Because either he got that idea or someone put it in his ear
40:53
and he's like,
40:54
SPEAKER_03: I think we should go to Iran.
40:55
SPEAKER_03: We'll do the same thing we did in Venezuela.
40:57
SPEAKER_03: We'll just, you know, take out the Ayatollah.
41:00
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
41:01
SPEAKER_03: Oh,
41:02
you take out the Ayatollah and then there's going to be an
41:04
uprising and then,
41:05
SPEAKER_03: you know,
41:05
SPEAKER_03: you're going to have a friendly government.
41:07
I mean,
41:08
this is how the Israelis have been doing Iran for the last 40
41:11
years.
41:12
SPEAKER_02: Strafing, bombing, quiet it down, strafe bomb again, quiet it down.
41:18
SPEAKER_02: This is what they've been doing.
41:20
SPEAKER_02: Now the thing is they convinced Yahoo's white dream for 40 years.
41:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
41:24
SPEAKER_02: How they convinced America to do it for the death of his brother.
41:27
SPEAKER_02: This is the story of Moby Dick.
41:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
41:30
SPEAKER_02: Oh God.
41:31
SPEAKER_02: He wants to go after the shark that took his brother.
41:35
SPEAKER_03: Yep.
41:36
SPEAKER_03: And that's it.
41:36
And it's,
41:37
it comes down to it's Trump was the one dumb ass,
41:43
you know,
41:43
that has no self control.
41:44
SPEAKER_03: It's like, Oh, okay.
41:45
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, let's do it.
41:47
SPEAKER_03: And because the rest of the presidents were like,
41:49
SPEAKER_03: even Bush was like,
41:51
SPEAKER_03: you know,
41:52
SPEAKER_03: he's like,
41:55
SPEAKER_03: I already got two headaches,
41:56
SPEAKER_03: brethren,
41:56
SPEAKER_03: with Iraq and Afghanistan.
41:57
SPEAKER_03: I don't need a third.
41:58
SPEAKER_02: Well, and there's a reason why, you know, Clinton didn't go after Iran.
42:02
SPEAKER_02: There's a reason why Obama didn't go after Iran.
42:04
SPEAKER_02: George Sr.
42:06
SPEAKER_02: didn't go after Iran.
42:07
SPEAKER_02: Reagan didn't go after Iran.
42:09
SPEAKER_02: They just did it through proxies.
42:14
SPEAKER_02: You know, with the Iran-Contra stuff.
42:15
SPEAKER_02: But that was I mean, this is just we are in a different place today.
42:20
SPEAKER_02: You know that this is this is going to permanently damage.
42:26
And then the shitbag is fucking talking about pulling us out of
42:28
NATO like he
42:29
SPEAKER_02: doesn't he doesn't have the authority to pull our country out of NATO,
42:31
SPEAKER_02: first of all.
42:33
Just like he has no authority to pull birthright citizenship or
42:35
to steal money from
42:36
SPEAKER_02: Medicare,
42:36
SPEAKER_02: Medicaid to pay for all this.
42:38
SPEAKER_02: That's all you know,
42:39
he's he's that's literally that the impeachable offense is if
42:43
he takes a single
42:43
SPEAKER_02: dollar from Medicare and Medicaid to pay for the war,
42:46
because that is protected by eight congressional legislative
42:50
laws that protect the
42:52
SPEAKER_02: trust fund.
42:56
SPEAKER_00: Period.
42:56
SPEAKER_02: That's impeachable the minute he does it.
42:59
SPEAKER_00: They're congressionally approved, pre-approved fundings.
43:01
SPEAKER_00: They're set aside for us.
43:03
SPEAKER_02: Statutory.
43:04
SPEAKER_00: Statutorily.
43:05
SPEAKER_02: Forget the Hat Jack bullshit.
43:07
SPEAKER_02: This is actually the Social Security Act.
43:09
SPEAKER_02: You are fucking violating the Social Security Act,
43:11
SPEAKER_02: the Administrative Services Act,
43:12
SPEAKER_02: the Social Security Act,
43:13
SPEAKER_02: the Medicare Modernization.
43:16
SPEAKER_02: I can sit here and list them all off.
43:18
SPEAKER_02: 42 CFR 1315.
43:21
SPEAKER_02: I can sit there and just go through all this in my head.
43:24
SPEAKER_02: But
43:26
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
43:28
SPEAKER_00: It's fucking... It is the plan, though.
43:32
That's what is going to start happening,
43:34
is they're going to try and start taking money
43:36
from other services that have allocated funds that are
43:39
congressionally allocated,
43:41
SPEAKER_00: that are protected,
43:42
SPEAKER_00: that are meant for us.
43:43
SPEAKER_00: That's why they're cutting our healthcare.
43:45
SPEAKER_00: That's why they're cutting soon.
43:46
SPEAKER_00: It's going to be infrastructure and other bridge repairs,
43:50
SPEAKER_00: and we're not going to be doing any sorts of things like that.
43:52
SPEAKER_00: So potholes in our cities are going to get worse.
43:55
SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry.
43:56
SPEAKER_02: What part of the, what part of the season are we moving into?
43:59
SPEAKER_02: Summertime?
44:00
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
44:01
SPEAKER_02: Spring, summer.
44:01
SPEAKER_02: Gee, what the fuck happened to us during spring and summer?
44:07
SPEAKER_02: You're not going to get those FEMA funds.
44:09
SPEAKER_02: There's no FEMA funds.
44:11
SPEAKER_02: So forget DHS giving mail.
44:13
They still haven't been paying out anything to the people in
44:16
North Carolina who got
44:17
SPEAKER_02: freaking flooded over.
44:19
SPEAKER_00: Oh,
44:19
SPEAKER_00: well,
44:20
SPEAKER_00: if you look at that,
44:20
the graph of the approvals for FEMA funds by like Democratic
44:26
representation pro,
44:27
SPEAKER_00: like if you're a Democratic state listed as a Democratic state anyways,
44:32
SPEAKER_00: like the acceptance rate is like 20%.
44:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what happened?
44:36
SPEAKER_02: Breaking fucking news.
44:38
SPEAKER_02: Pam Bondi has been fired.
44:43
SPEAKER_02: Really?
44:44
SPEAKER_02: Let me research this.
44:44
SPEAKER_02: Hang on, guys.
44:45
SPEAKER_02: Let me figure this out.
44:47
SPEAKER_02: If that's the case, then this is huge.
44:50
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
44:51
SPEAKER_03: The circle around the dictator is collapsing.
44:54
SPEAKER_03: It's collapsing.
44:55
SPEAKER_02: That'll be fun if she's fired.
44:57
SPEAKER_03: The New York Times just broke it.
45:01
SPEAKER_03: They fire the women first.
45:03
SPEAKER_00: Yes, because they can blame them.
45:06
SPEAKER_00: Fire the women so that they can blame them.
45:08
SPEAKER_03: Tulsi Gabbard is next.
45:09
SPEAKER_03: It's Tulsi Gabbard.
45:10
SPEAKER_03: She's going next.
45:11
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
45:11
SPEAKER_00: Tulsi Gabbard is weird.
45:14
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if she's going to go away.
45:18
SPEAKER_02: Isn't she manly, though?
45:19
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:19
SPEAKER_02: Trump fires Pambadi as attorney general.
45:24
SPEAKER_02: Done.
45:25
SPEAKER_02: Just now.
45:26
SPEAKER_02: Breaking news on the tag show.
45:29
SPEAKER_02: Pam Bondi has been fired.
45:31
SPEAKER_03: It's going to be Tulsi Gabbard and then Pete Heggson.
45:34
SPEAKER_03: It's going to be Tulsi and then Pete.
45:37
SPEAKER_00: Is she fired or is she going to be part of the new Shield of America?
45:42
SPEAKER_00: Is she going to be part of the new Shield of America's thing?
45:46
SPEAKER_00: Is she getting a promotion in the end?
45:49
SPEAKER_00: Because Kristi Noem didn't really get fired.
45:51
SPEAKER_00: She got moved to becoming the Shield Maiden of America,
45:54
SPEAKER_00: which actually could be a dangerous thing.
45:58
To be honest,
45:59
I think her husband would make a better Shield Maiden of
46:01
America.
46:02
SPEAKER_00: I'm just saying.
46:04
SPEAKER_00: Well, he's a better dresser.
46:05
SPEAKER_00: I do want all that money back, though.
46:07
SPEAKER_00: Like, the restitution that we need from all of this shit.
46:10
SPEAKER_00: Like, fuck these people.
46:13
SPEAKER_00: So, like, because I haven't looked at the Gnomons.
46:15
SPEAKER_00: Is she fired or is she fired?
46:20
SPEAKER_00: Like, is she getting fired or is she fired fired?
46:24
SPEAKER_00: Because here's the real question.
46:26
SPEAKER_00: She is fired.
46:28
SPEAKER_00: Is she going to talk about the Epstein files now?
46:30
Like Lincoln Square,
46:32
Lincoln Square has it as Trump has ousted Pam Bondi as attorney
46:35
general.
46:36
SPEAKER_02: Close sources to the president.
46:37
SPEAKER_02: She's temporarily replaced by now Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch.
46:41
SPEAKER_02: Great.
46:43
SPEAKER_02: That's even worse.
46:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
46:45
SPEAKER_02: It's literally dumber and dumber.
46:49
SPEAKER_00: Now we have dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumbest, dumbest.
46:53
SPEAKER_02: It's all over Substack.
46:56
SPEAKER_02: Tara Setmeyer's on it.
46:57
SPEAKER_02: Lincoln Square.
46:58
SPEAKER_02: Mike Nellis is on it.
47:00
SPEAKER_00: You heard it here with us first, y'all.
47:02
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but we had it first.
47:03
SPEAKER_02: I don't give a shit about everybody else.
47:04
SPEAKER_02: We had it first.
47:06
SPEAKER_02: The medical, the doctor and medical journalist broke it early.
47:12
SPEAKER_02: What if she, what if she, you know, everything, Jandro, you're right.
47:16
SPEAKER_00: Everything this regime does, does call for dick jokes.
47:20
That's the,
47:21
because they're tiny,
47:22
the tiny ego,
47:23
micro ego syndrome bullshit that they have.
47:25
SPEAKER_02: I wish I was living in a blue state in Florida.
47:28
SPEAKER_02: Because if I was the attorney general, I'd fucking arrest her right now.
47:31
SPEAKER_00: Oh my God.
47:32
SPEAKER_00: I would just arrest her right now.
47:34
SPEAKER_00: She no longer,
47:35
SPEAKER_02: she no longer has the protection of executive privilege,
47:39
SPEAKER_02: nor as the,
47:40
SPEAKER_02: as the attorney general of the United States.
47:42
SPEAKER_02: Now you're going to get arrested.
47:43
SPEAKER_02: Now we're going to arrest you for all your shit you did.
47:45
SPEAKER_03: How long do you think it's going to take before?
47:46
SPEAKER_00: Where did she, where did she lie?
47:48
SPEAKER_00: Um, she was lying in DC when she did like when, who is, who has, um,
47:56
Judicial authority because I think somebody should sue just
47:59
like Jack Smith had the
48:00
option to sue in say Florida or DC for The violations that
48:07
Trump stole our
48:08
classified documents and then we're selling them to
48:11
billionaires and trillionaires
48:12
SPEAKER_00: around the world Because he's a fucking narcissist.
48:15
SPEAKER_00: We should now fucking I think the I think
48:19
hey Midas touch don't you have a ton of lawyers on your team
48:23
like isn't this the
48:24
prime moment that you could work to your legal network or I
48:29
hope that I mean I bet
48:31
the contrarians will move on this I have nothing against the
48:33
contrarians like y'all
48:35
the contrarians fucking come out and they're like hey we're
48:37
just gonna sue you or
48:39
SPEAKER_00: like Mark Elias is on all of this shit but like Midas touch
48:43
SPEAKER_00: Y'all, you got millions of fucking dollars.
48:46
SPEAKER_00: Now is the moment.
48:48
Now is the moment to stand behind the obscene victims and drop
48:51
a fucking hammer and
48:53
SPEAKER_00: go,
48:53
SPEAKER_00: hey,
48:53
we're suing Pam Bondi because they violated a law that was
48:59
approved by all but one
49:01
SPEAKER_00: fucking person in Congress.
49:04
SPEAKER_00: We can't get laws passed unanimously by the U.S., but the U.S.
49:09
Congress decided to unanimously pass the release of the Epstein
49:14
Transparency Act,
49:15
which this administration signed into law and then blatantly
49:20
violates day by day.
49:23
How long y'all think it's going to take before they let
49:25
Ghislaine Maxwell out?
49:28
SPEAKER_03: They're going to let her out.
49:30
SPEAKER_03: They're going to kill her first.
49:31
SPEAKER_00: They're going to kill her.
49:33
SPEAKER_00: She'll get out.
49:35
SPEAKER_00: But she won't walk away.
49:36
SPEAKER_03: You think they're going to carry her out on a slab?
49:42
SPEAKER_00: Long drop with a sudden stop.
49:46
SPEAKER_03: It's like, oh man, she had the stout rope and a wobbly stool therapy.
49:52
SPEAKER_00: Just like Epstein did.
49:55
SPEAKER_02: The only thing that still protects her,
49:56
SPEAKER_02: by the way,
49:57
is executive privilege because the privilege is with the office
50:00
of the presidency.
50:01
SPEAKER_02: So that stays there.
50:03
SPEAKER_02: Now,
50:05
SPEAKER_02: Here's the problem post firing.
50:08
If the current president decides to waive privilege for legal
50:10
investigations,
50:12
SPEAKER_02: the AG cannot use it to refute or testify or withhold documents.
50:15
SPEAKER_02: Now the client for her was the U S government.
50:19
SPEAKER_02: So she has no personal shield.
50:22
So there is no personal shield in a federal grand jury or a
50:26
state grand jury.
50:28
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
50:29
Now the internal process decision-making she's got privilege on
50:32
with deliberative
50:33
SPEAKER_02: process privilege.
50:34
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
50:35
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
50:36
SPEAKER_02: But there is no such thing as,
50:40
SPEAKER_02: but she has no special legal protections for any criminal liability.
50:44
SPEAKER_01: Nope.
50:46
SPEAKER_02: So this is what you nail her on.
50:48
SPEAKER_02: Done.
50:49
SPEAKER_02: Everything.
50:51
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
50:51
SPEAKER_02: Get her.
50:52
SPEAKER_02: Now you go after her.
50:53
SPEAKER_02: Now you go after her.
50:54
SPEAKER_02: It's time.
50:56
SPEAKER_00: Once the dominoes start falling.
50:58
SPEAKER_02: She will flip faster than a pancake.
51:00
SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
51:03
SPEAKER_00: because she's all about herself.
51:04
SPEAKER_00: She doesn't care about anybody else in the end.
51:06
SPEAKER_00: She wants to protect herself.
51:08
SPEAKER_00: And it's not about Pambani.
51:10
SPEAKER_00: Pambani's an evil person.
51:12
SPEAKER_00: She's just on the list of evil people in this regime,
51:16
SPEAKER_00: and whoever's next is going to be just as evil,
51:18
SPEAKER_00: if not more evil than she was.
51:20
So she's just put there as a pawn,
51:22
because now they get to say,
51:24
oh,
51:24
but the woman did it.
51:25
SPEAKER_00: Oh, but the woman did it.
51:26
SPEAKER_00: See,
51:26
SPEAKER_00: a man has to come in and fix what happened,
51:29
SPEAKER_00: which is why Mark Wayne Mullen followed Kristi Noem.
51:33
SPEAKER_00: He's going to do the exact same shit,
51:34
but he's going to sanitize it through a white man's lens so
51:37
people are going to buy
51:38
SPEAKER_00: it more easily because a white man's doing it.
51:40
And they're going to be like,
51:41
well,
51:41
clearly a white man gets privileged to do this.
51:43
SPEAKER_00: Well,
51:44
that's why I think they're going to go after Tulsi next because
51:46
when this Iran
51:46
SPEAKER_03: thing absolutely goes tits up,
51:48
SPEAKER_03: it already has.
51:49
They're going to say,
51:50
you know,
51:51
it's like because he's already put it on the DNI.
51:54
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
51:56
SPEAKER_02: Oh, good.
51:57
SPEAKER_02: Then she can testify why the fuck she was doing in fucking Georgia then.
52:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
52:01
Yeah,
52:01
I hope they do get fired because they lose privileges the
52:04
second they lose their jobs.
52:06
SPEAKER_00: Your privileges are gone.
52:09
Like that's the thing with our government is our government is
52:11
a service position.
52:13
SPEAKER_00: You are serving the people.
52:15
SPEAKER_00: And when you are done serving...
52:18
You are now citizen and citizen has responsibilities and is
52:23
under all the laws.
52:24
There is there is no unless this president is going to pardon
52:29
all of them,
52:30
SPEAKER_00: which the second you leave the room,
52:32
SPEAKER_00: he's fucking forgot your name.
52:34
SPEAKER_02: He doesn't give a shit about you.
52:35
SPEAKER_02: Pardons don't hold up because they haven't been convicted of anything.
52:39
You can't preemptively pardon somebody for a crime they haven't
52:42
committed,
52:43
technically.
52:44
SPEAKER_02: Or for a crime they haven't been convicted of.
52:45
SPEAKER_02: So any pardons he issues would be are useless.
52:50
Because the pardon power is only to alleviate clemency for
52:54
somebody who has been convicted.
52:57
SPEAKER_00: Also.
52:59
SPEAKER_00: Who the fuck cares what pardons are issued by a criminal president?
53:06
SPEAKER_00: Who the fuck cares what pardons are issued?
53:09
SPEAKER_00: Invalidate all of them.
53:11
SPEAKER_00: Every single action that you have taken, we are undoing.
53:15
SPEAKER_00: That's how the next administration has to approach it.
53:18
SPEAKER_00: Every single action that Trump has taken has to be undone.
53:22
SPEAKER_00: Including all the pardons because a criminal who is not...
53:28
following the constitution who has violated the constitution
53:32
since swearing the
53:34
oath because he didn't even swear the oath in effect he skipped
53:38
that part we he
53:39
violated the oath of office since day one since second kind of
53:43
like when he said i
53:44
do to melania he just let's just skip over that part yeah let's
53:47
just skip over that
53:48
SPEAKER_02: part i already signed the prenup i don't need to say i do yeah like he's
53:54
he can all of this can be undone easily we can undo it the
53:57
pardons don't aren't
53:58
valid because his presidency is invalid and if they because he
54:04
violated his oath of
54:05
office from day one i think you got to impeach him first before
54:09
he even gets to
54:09
that point because if you impeach him he has no ability to
54:11
pardon anybody and that
54:12
includes his kids anybody that worked under him the vice
54:16
president doesn't matter
54:17
there is no executive privilege anymore it's done no i think
54:20
they all well the
54:21
SPEAKER_00: thing is that the whole administration needs to be impeached
54:23
And I think that's where what happens in the next coming weeks
54:28
is going to be really important.
54:29
SPEAKER_00: Um,
54:32
SPEAKER_00: because I was talking with,
54:34
SPEAKER_00: uh,
54:35
SPEAKER_00: a friend,
54:35
SPEAKER_00: angry male vet this morning,
54:37
SPEAKER_00: um,
54:38
SPEAKER_00: for,
54:38
and we were talking about what would happen if say boots went
54:42
on the ground in
54:43
SPEAKER_00: Iran,
54:44
SPEAKER_00: Mike Johnson.
54:45
Openly admitted they'd lose like 40 seats in the house
54:49
immediately,
54:50
40,
54:50
50 seats in the house.
54:51
My thought is if boots go on the ground and service members
54:55
start dying in large
54:57
SPEAKER_00: numbers,
54:59
SPEAKER_00: it's not going to be 30,
55:01
SPEAKER_00: 40 seats.
55:01
SPEAKER_00: It's going to be a hundred seats.
55:03
SPEAKER_00: It's going to be half of the Senate.
55:06
It's going to be a super majority blue progressive wave and not
55:10
vote no matter who.
55:13
SPEAKER_00: And it's not going to be vote blue no matter who.
55:16
It's going to be a bunch of progressives that are going to walk
55:19
in and go,
55:19
fuck this house.
55:22
SPEAKER_00: And fix things.
55:24
SPEAKER_00: Because the first thing will be done is...
55:28
SPEAKER_00: Impeachment.
55:29
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
55:30
The internal polling right now is looking anywhere like a kind
55:34
of like an FDR flip
55:35
SPEAKER_02: at the House level.
55:36
SPEAKER_02: Could be between anywhere between 60 and 80 House seats.
55:40
SPEAKER_02: I think it's going to be more by the end.
55:42
SPEAKER_02: I hope it's more.
55:43
But you're talking about it will be 100 years before the
55:46
Republicans regain the House.
55:47
SPEAKER_02: You can't win that many seats back that quickly in time.
55:51
SPEAKER_02: This is one of these transitional, transformative moments in U.S.
55:54
SPEAKER_02: history.
55:54
SPEAKER_02: And it's just,
55:55
SPEAKER_02: ironically,
55:56
SPEAKER_02: it has to be on our 250th anniversary of our independent revolution,
55:59
SPEAKER_02: right?
56:00
SPEAKER_02: But like, I mean, how poetically justice is this?
56:03
SPEAKER_02: Like on the anniversary, like this is the shit that's happening, right?
56:07
SPEAKER_02: I'm not even seeing this as a blue-red issue anymore.
56:11
SPEAKER_02: Guys, this is a class issue.
56:13
SPEAKER_02: This is a complete class issue.
56:15
And I think people are starting to see it because they're
56:18
driving through every
56:19
SPEAKER_02: town they go through,
56:20
SPEAKER_02: their hometowns,
56:21
SPEAKER_02: the cities next to them.
56:22
What's the one thing you see on every fucking street corner
56:25
that's not a bank?
56:27
SPEAKER_02: It's a gas station.
56:29
SPEAKER_00: And that price is going up.
56:31
SPEAKER_02: And that price is going up every single day.
56:35
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes a couple times a day.
56:38
SPEAKER_03: It's easy.
56:39
SPEAKER_03: I can do math.
56:42
SPEAKER_00: Ain't nobody getting pay raises right now.
56:44
SPEAKER_00: People are losing jobs all over the place.
56:47
SPEAKER_03: They made it super easy.
56:48
SPEAKER_02: I don't get pay raises.
56:51
SPEAKER_02: I get screw you letters from evil empires.
56:54
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
56:55
SPEAKER_00: I get pay raises when y'all become paid subscribers to me.
56:59
So if you want to be a paid subscriber or founding subscriber,
57:02
go right ahead.
57:03
Like I might have to open up the paid subscriptions if I don't
57:05
get paid from
57:06
SPEAKER_02: insurance companies anytime soon.
57:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
57:07
Or if you,
57:09
or if you want to buy bottle water bottles in our merch,
57:12
I have a used bottle.
57:13

57:17
but $21.
57:21
We do just so you all know that the just suck less water
57:24
bottles are TSA compliant.
57:25
They're 30 ounce metal sippy cup water bottles that you can
57:29
stand in front of those
57:30
beautiful ice agents who are walking around the airports and
57:33
just follow them with
57:35
a just suck less water bottle and not so subtly remind them to
57:38
just fucking suck
57:39
SPEAKER_00: less because they're the worst fucking people in the world.
57:41
SPEAKER_00: Because they're the brown shirts.
57:43
SPEAKER_00: They are the Gestapo.
57:45
SPEAKER_00: They are happy about it.
57:46
SPEAKER_00: They think it's fun.
57:47
SPEAKER_00: But go fuck themselves.
57:50
SPEAKER_03: Well, you know what?
57:52
I hate to be this guy,
57:54
but it's like,
57:55
you know what I would say Iran is turning into?
57:57
SPEAKER_03: It's a bunch of eagle jizz.

SPEAKER_02: Do you think she's going to hide herself?
59:20
SPEAKER_00: I think her eyebrows might get bigger.
59:25
SPEAKER_03: No, she's going to have to stay blonde.
59:27
SPEAKER_03: It's the Aryan aesthetic.
59:30
SPEAKER_02: She'll have a spot on Fox News next week.
59:35
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
59:39
SPEAKER_00: Or like OAN or something.
59:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm thinking newsmen.
59:42
SPEAKER_02: He might promote her to press secretary.
59:45
SPEAKER_00: Do you think she'll work alongside Matt Gaetz as a Newsmax reporter?
59:51
SPEAKER_00: Because they're both pedo protectors or pedos themselves.
59:54
SPEAKER_00: And so do you think they'll work together?
59:56
SPEAKER_00: Because they were both nominees for attorney general.
1:00:00
SPEAKER_00: She just got the job.
1:00:01
SPEAKER_00: So why not?
1:00:02
SPEAKER_00: Why not do a show or even Michael Cohen?
1:00:04
SPEAKER_00: I hear he likes doing shows with people who are on the right nowadays.
1:00:07
Can you imagine if he nominates Michael Cohen to be the deputy
1:00:09
attorney general?
1:00:11
SPEAKER_00: That would be great.
1:00:12
SPEAKER_00: I would love that.
1:00:15
SPEAKER_00: Michael Cohen will go on Substack still and sit there and be like,
1:00:18
SPEAKER_00: but I'm doing it for both sides.
1:00:20
SPEAKER_00: I'm here to represent you.
1:00:23
SPEAKER_03: There's this woman, Ellie Leonard, and she's rude.
1:00:28
SPEAKER_00: She's rude to me.
1:00:30
SPEAKER_02: Kate Justice is ruining my life too.
1:00:34
They're mean to me because they're putting out bad things that
1:00:37
I did in the past
1:00:38
SPEAKER_00: and I don't want to take accountability for them.
1:00:40
because i'm a weak penis of a man and and i look like a rotting
1:00:44
ball sack right now
1:00:45
and steven miller might become my new best friend but i don't
1:00:49

1:00:50
if i should be standing next to a penis that comes out of the
1:00:53
the woodwork and just
1:00:57
and then hides himself back in his hood and i don't know if i
1:00:59
can do that but
1:01:01

1:04:28
the trauma that she's introducing to herself willingly because
1:04:33
of this at this
1:04:33
SPEAKER_00: point is beyond what normal people would be willing to do.
1:04:39
SPEAKER_00: Like, she's a superhero.
1:04:41
Like,
1:04:41
the trauma that these women are putting themselves through is
1:04:45
incredible.
1:04:46
SPEAKER_00: We need to support them in that and be a place that they can...
1:04:51
SPEAKER_00: Be safe and tell what they're doing and not steal their fucking credit.
1:04:57
SPEAKER_00: No.

1:06:25
SPEAKER_02: The swarm is out, guys.
1:06:29
That sound you're hearing is a bunch of writers' rooms that are
1:06:33
scrapping opening monologues.
1:06:34
SPEAKER_03: Oh, my God.
1:06:36
SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine what the SNL cold open would be Saturday?

SPEAKER_00: This is going to be a good weekend.
1:06:45
I mean, they might even bring in.
1:06:47
SPEAKER_02: But how depressing is that you got fired on Passover and Easter?
1:06:50
SPEAKER_02: Like, you literally just went the way of Jesus.
1:06:53
SPEAKER_02: He just got crucified.
1:06:54
SPEAKER_00: I mean, they do like their religious parallels.
1:06:58
SPEAKER_00: They do like it.
1:06:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:06:59
SPEAKER_00: They do like those religious parallels.
1:07:01
SPEAKER_02: They like to bring that shit in there.
1:07:02
SPEAKER_02: You are aware that you were fired during Easter, correct?
1:07:07
SPEAKER_02: Well, I wasn't actually fired, but you were fired, correct?
1:07:12
SPEAKER_00: So can you say she gave up her job for Lent this year?
1:07:16
SPEAKER_00: Is that what she's doing?
1:07:17
SPEAKER_02: Lent's over.
1:07:18
SPEAKER_00: Is it?
1:07:19
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
1:07:20
SPEAKER_00: I'm not Catholic, so I don't know about all that stuff.
1:07:24
SPEAKER_02: It certainly wasn't Ramadan.
1:07:27
SPEAKER_02: And I know she ain't Jewish.
1:07:29
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, Nick and I know she ain't Jewish because.
1:07:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
1:07:32
SPEAKER_02: you can't be that evil of a human being unless you,
1:07:34
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:07:35
SPEAKER_02: unless you're part of the like right wing ultra Israeli Likud party.
1:07:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, you can be Jewish in that evil.
1:07:42
SPEAKER_00: Like,
1:07:43
SPEAKER_00: we've got the smegmalomaniac of Stephen Miller,
1:07:46
SPEAKER_00: who is just,
1:07:46
SPEAKER_00: like I keep saying,
1:07:47
SPEAKER_00: it's like a hooded penis.
1:07:49
SPEAKER_00: You can't go to a show without mentioning his name.
1:07:51
SPEAKER_00: You know what?
1:07:52
SPEAKER_03: I'm just going to have to stop.
1:07:54
SPEAKER_00: Fred, I even made RFK Jr.
1:07:56
SPEAKER_00: 's brain worm.
1:07:58
Nice.
1:07:58
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to have to stop that right now.
1:08:01
SPEAKER_00: No, this is one of those little bead things that you make together.
1:08:04
SPEAKER_00: My son and I make them together.
1:08:06
SPEAKER_02: He's a little brainworn.
1:08:07
SPEAKER_02: Remember the Star Trek episode that had the guys,
1:08:12
SPEAKER_02: like the aliens were living inside the officers?
1:08:15
SPEAKER_02: Remember that one?
1:08:15
SPEAKER_02: That's kind of what I would think of like RFK Jr.
1:08:17
SPEAKER_02: If he ever explodes one day, that's what I could come out of him.
1:08:20
SPEAKER_03: Nice.
1:08:21
SPEAKER_03: I got to stop you guys right there,
1:08:22
SPEAKER_03: though,
1:08:23
SPEAKER_03: because,
1:08:23
SPEAKER_03: I mean,
1:08:24
SPEAKER_03: I have to recognize that it's actually my people,
1:08:27
SPEAKER_03: white folks,
1:08:28
SPEAKER_03: that have the...
1:08:30
like the,
1:08:31
the unparalleled undefeated claim to most evil race on the
1:08:35
planet.
1:08:36
SPEAKER_03: Like it's ours.
1:08:37
SPEAKER_03: So just deal with that.
1:08:38
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
1:08:41
SPEAKER_03: It's us.
1:08:43
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
1:08:44
SPEAKER_03: You got, yeah.
1:08:45
SPEAKER_03: I mean,
1:08:45
SPEAKER_03: you've got some other ones that have done some bad stuff,
1:08:47
SPEAKER_03: but you know,
1:08:49
SPEAKER_03: there's no top in us,
1:08:49
SPEAKER_03: bro.
1:08:50
SPEAKER_03: We we've earned that, that horrible moniker.
1:08:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:08:54
SPEAKER_00: I, to be honest, we claim, I think it's Abrahamic faith that's done it.
1:09:01
SPEAKER_00: And more so than just white,
1:09:03
SPEAKER_00: I think it's been a product of some of the Abrahamic faith systems,
1:09:08
SPEAKER_00: because if you look at the pantheon that Judaism came from,
1:09:12
SPEAKER_00: the
1:09:14
god system is we it's god is actually the war god of the old
1:09:19
pantheon and beat them
1:09:21
like yes yeah one and so our god is a god of war so you wonder
1:09:27
why we fight a bunch
1:09:29
of wars all the time and we kill things all the time and we're
1:09:33
so angry and
1:09:34
SPEAKER_00: aggressive about it in a lot of ways is because our god is a god of war
1:09:40
Does anyone remember the story of Jericho where the walls of
1:09:43
Jericho came a- came
1:09:44
SPEAKER_00: a-tumbling down?
1:09:46
That's a euphemism or that's a metaphor for they went into the
1:09:50
city and they
1:09:50
destroyed it and they killed everyone and the walls came
1:09:54
a-tumbling down because
1:09:55
SPEAKER_00: they fucking destroyed and massacred that city.
1:10:00
SPEAKER_00: They're war tribes.
1:10:01
Like,
1:10:02
we need to stop pretending our own history doesn't exist and,
1:10:07
like,
1:10:08
admit that
1:10:09
SPEAKER_00: that maybe it is the religion that is the problem.
1:10:15
SPEAKER_00: It's not the people.
1:10:16
SPEAKER_00: It's not Jewish people.
1:10:17
SPEAKER_00: It's not Catholic people.
1:10:19
SPEAKER_00: It's not Christian people.
1:10:20
SPEAKER_00: It's not us that are inherently the problem.
1:10:25
SPEAKER_00: It's the structured system that is made to go to war.
1:10:29
SPEAKER_00: That is the problem that is made to incite violence.
1:10:32
SPEAKER_00: That is the problem.
1:10:34
SPEAKER_03: I'm paraphrasing here.
1:10:38
SPEAKER_03: It's like when we remember Zion,
1:10:42
he was righteous when he takes the little ones and dashes them
1:10:46
against the stones.
1:10:48
SPEAKER_03: That's what you're talking about.
1:10:50
SPEAKER_03: It's that total war.
1:10:52
SPEAKER_00: They want Armageddon.
1:10:56
SPEAKER_00: They don't want to stop this war in the end.
1:10:58
SPEAKER_00: They're going to get Armageddon.
1:10:59
SPEAKER_02: It's going to come in November.
1:11:01
SPEAKER_02: They're going to get it.
1:11:02
SPEAKER_02: It's coming in November because they're getting it.
1:11:06
SPEAKER_02: There's that old biblical saying too, you reap what you sow.
1:11:11
I don't know if it's the government that is the problem and not
1:11:14
the religion.
1:11:14
I would push back on that because one of the things that helped
1:11:19
really topple the
1:11:22
SPEAKER_00: Roman Empire was the Christian faith.
1:11:27
SPEAKER_00: It splintered the Roman Empire and then it...
1:11:31
took over europe but why the christian why at that point
1:11:35
because the roman it
1:11:36
wasn't a it wasn't the government that did that it was the
1:11:39
religious fanatics that
1:11:41
did that right but the roman empire had gotten so corrupt by
1:11:45
that point now
1:11:46
remember that the senate was no longer serving the people okay
1:11:50
sounds a lot like
1:11:51
what's going on here right caesar was corrupt augustus was not
1:11:57
serving the people
1:12:01
SPEAKER_02: And that's what happens when you forget to serve the people.
1:12:06
SPEAKER_02: The people are going to cut your balls off.
1:12:09
SPEAKER_02: They're going to wake up one day and cut your nuts off.
1:12:12
SPEAKER_02: And feed you to the lions.
1:12:14
SPEAKER_02: Now, we don't do that today.
1:12:16
SPEAKER_02: We don't do that today because we're much more civilized.
1:12:20
SPEAKER_02: We'll sit you in a box and put 12 people to sit in judgment against you.
1:12:25
SPEAKER_00: I hear there's an island in the Caribbean that
1:12:28
SPEAKER_00: billionaires like to go to a lot,
1:12:30
we could all just send them there and they can play the most
1:12:32
dangerous game with
1:12:33
SPEAKER_00: each other.
1:12:33
SPEAKER_00: Like that's,
1:12:34
SPEAKER_00: that could be their choice,
1:12:35
SPEAKER_00: whatever they do there,
1:12:36
SPEAKER_00: but we don't ever have to send them back.
1:12:37
SPEAKER_02: How about we just throw them, I got an idea.
1:12:38
SPEAKER_02: Let's take them all to that island, let them play squid game.
1:12:42
SPEAKER_02: For real.
1:12:43
SPEAKER_00: Or like, just,
1:12:47
Just we'll like Jurassic Park it and we'll put a big fence
1:12:52
around the whole
1:12:53
SPEAKER_00: perimeter with everything facing inwards so that they just can't get out.
1:12:56
SPEAKER_02: Just make sure it's got a Comcast router running everything.
1:12:58
SPEAKER_03: You know what?
1:12:59
SPEAKER_03: I've got a,
1:13:00
SPEAKER_03: I've got a,
1:13:02
SPEAKER_03: I've got a suggestion we can make,
1:13:03
SPEAKER_03: you know,
1:13:03
cause they're all into the Curtis Yavin thing and the dark
1:13:06
enlightenment and all
1:13:07
SPEAKER_03: this medieval stuff.
1:13:08
SPEAKER_03: I think we should go back a little older.
1:13:11
SPEAKER_03: I think that they should be able to,
1:13:13
SPEAKER_03: we should all make,
1:13:14
we should make them generals and we should let them raise these
1:13:17
private armies.
1:13:18
SPEAKER_03: And we say,
1:13:19
SPEAKER_03: Hey,
1:13:19
there's this Island that's near the straight up from where it
1:13:22
was called Carg
1:13:23
SPEAKER_03: Island.
1:13:24
SPEAKER_03: You guys set up there and,
1:13:26
SPEAKER_03: And you guys try to invade Iran.
1:13:29
SPEAKER_03: And,
1:13:30
SPEAKER_03: you know,
1:13:30
SPEAKER_03: we'll give you all the accolades,
1:13:32
SPEAKER_03: the congressional medals of honor that you want.
1:13:35
SPEAKER_03: Just go over there.
1:13:36
SPEAKER_03: You be the first wave.
1:13:38
SPEAKER_03: Live your truth.
1:13:40
SPEAKER_03: Live your values.
1:13:42
SPEAKER_03: Let's go over there.
1:13:43
SPEAKER_03: Like, and let's see how that works out for him.
1:13:46
SPEAKER_02: Well, you know, Nick, we've talked about this.
1:13:47
SPEAKER_03: It's an island.
1:13:48
SPEAKER_02: What is the one thing that,
1:13:49
SPEAKER_02: what's the one,
1:13:50
SPEAKER_02: hey guys,
1:13:51
SPEAKER_02: literally,
1:13:51
what's the one thing that wealthy people are more scared of
1:13:53
than anything else?
1:13:56
SPEAKER_03: Accountability?
1:13:59
SPEAKER_02: No, losing their wealth.
1:14:01
SPEAKER_02: Prison.
1:14:02
SPEAKER_02: Losing their wealth and going to prison.
1:14:04
SPEAKER_02: Okay?
1:14:05
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
1:14:06
SPEAKER_02: That scares them more than anything on the planet.
1:14:10
The specter of spending one day in a jail cell is so abhorrent
1:14:16
to their way of
1:14:17
SPEAKER_02: thinking and their way of living because their entire lives,
1:14:21
they've never had to work a day in their life for anything that
1:14:24
they've ever
1:14:25
SPEAKER_02: earned.
1:14:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:14:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:14:27
SPEAKER_00: They're allergic to accountability in any way.
1:14:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:14:31
I mean,
1:14:31
the side effect is accountability,
1:14:33
but the primary effect is the privilege.
1:14:35
SPEAKER_02: So if you take the privilege away,
1:14:37
SPEAKER_02: you take their privilege away,
1:14:40
SPEAKER_02: you watch how quickly they will be chirping on each other.
1:14:45
You put them in a sweat box in a holding cell for 48 hours,
1:14:47
they'll start talking.
1:14:53
SPEAKER_02: You know what?
1:14:53
Since we're talking about all these people accountable this
1:14:56
way,
1:14:56
too,
1:14:57
we can do it.
1:14:58
SPEAKER_02: We can do it today to do it right.
1:14:59
SPEAKER_02: You know what?
1:15:00
SPEAKER_02: Maybe.
1:15:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:15:00
SPEAKER_00: States could start fucking prosecuting people like right now.
1:15:04
SPEAKER_03: Maybe we're thinking about this all wrong.
1:15:06
SPEAKER_03: You know, maybe we're looking at the wrong sort of empire.
1:15:12
SPEAKER_03: Maybe we can get Karg Island is if we do.
1:15:16
SPEAKER_03: We offer the Iranians like, hey, we screwed up.
1:15:20
SPEAKER_03: We would like to use Carg Island like they used Elba for Napoleon.
1:15:25
SPEAKER_03: We'll put Trump and we'll exile him to Carg Island.
1:15:29
SPEAKER_03: We'll pay for it.
1:15:30
SPEAKER_00: Or if they want Carg Island,
1:15:31
there's a little island right next to it that doesn't have all
1:15:34
the oil stuff on it.
1:15:35
SPEAKER_00: It's just an island right there.
1:15:37
SPEAKER_03: It's an airstrip.
1:15:39
SPEAKER_03: You can't bomb him, but we're going to exile him there.
1:15:43
SPEAKER_03: That's going to be his new home.
1:15:45
SPEAKER_03: That's Trump's – that's his elbow.
1:15:49
SPEAKER_03: We'll just put him there.
1:15:50
SPEAKER_03: I'm sure the Iranians would be okay with that.
1:15:53
SPEAKER_02: That's an interesting take because this country has never exiled anybody.
1:15:58
SPEAKER_00: I think we should.
1:15:59
SPEAKER_00: I think we finally should do that.
1:16:03
SPEAKER_00: We exiled Benedict Arnold.
1:16:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because he was deemed a traitor.
1:16:07
SPEAKER_02: Or was he just returned to England?
1:16:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, I think that's... I would consider that an exile.
1:16:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think he fled.
1:16:15
SPEAKER_02: I think he fled, though.
1:16:15
SPEAKER_02: That wasn't like he was...
1:16:16
SPEAKER_02: Well,
1:16:17
SPEAKER_00: we labeled him as a traitor,
1:16:19
SPEAKER_00: so he...
1:16:20
SPEAKER_00: No,
1:16:20
SPEAKER_00: he would have been hung.
1:16:21
SPEAKER_03: He would have been hung.
1:16:22
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he would have been hung if he came back.
1:16:25
SPEAKER_03: We didn't officially exile him like France did with Napoleon.
1:16:29
SPEAKER_03: He self-exiled.
1:16:31
SPEAKER_03: Oh, he self... Okay, yeah, you're right.
1:16:33
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:16:34
SPEAKER_00: We could forcefully exile.
1:16:37
SPEAKER_00: We could officially do it.
1:16:38
SPEAKER_00: I mean, we've got
1:16:40
SPEAKER_00: We've got folks who would be, how are we defining exile?
1:16:44
And my idea would be putting them on an island that they're not
1:16:50
allowed to leave.
1:16:52
SPEAKER_00: They're not allowed to leave, which we we've got drones.
1:16:55
We could,
1:16:56
we could just fly a drone over a small island that they could
1:16:59
just,
1:16:59
SPEAKER_00: keep an eye on them at all times.
1:17:01
SPEAKER_00: Maybe even Carg Island.
1:17:02
SPEAKER_00: We could let the Iranians keep them monitored for us.
1:17:07
We could lease parts of it and pay them for it as part of
1:17:11
reparations or whatever.
1:17:13
SPEAKER_03: And it's like, look, he's right there.
1:17:15
SPEAKER_03: We'll even offer them PBNC outfit as a side course.
1:17:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we'll give him one can of the paint.
1:17:25
SPEAKER_00: He can figure paint.
1:17:26
SPEAKER_00: If Iran isn't going to take them, we put them back.
1:17:28
SPEAKER_00: We put them all on Epstein's Island, and we use that.
1:17:32
SPEAKER_00: We know where it is.
1:17:34
SPEAKER_00: There's plenty of easy access there,
1:17:37
so you may as well just turn it into a prison camp for
1:17:40
billionaires and never let
1:17:41
SPEAKER_00: them leave.
1:17:42
SPEAKER_02: What was the movie...
1:17:43
SPEAKER_02: What was the movie with Stallone where he played a prison expert,
1:17:48
SPEAKER_02: but the prison wound up being a ship?
1:17:51
SPEAKER_02: And it was... What was the name of that movie?
1:17:55
SPEAKER_02: Schwarzenegger was also in it?
1:17:59
SPEAKER_00: No, shoot.
1:17:59
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember that one.
1:18:01
SPEAKER_00: Not The Untouchables, right?
1:18:02
I thought you were going to say that about The Rock with
1:18:06
Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery.
1:18:10
SPEAKER_00: That one I know.
1:18:13
SPEAKER_00: Sean Connery.
1:18:15
SPEAKER_00: I miss him.
1:18:17
SPEAKER_02: It was called Prison Break.
1:18:20
SPEAKER_02: It was called Escape Plan.
1:18:22
SPEAKER_02: 2013.
1:18:23
SPEAKER_02: So it was a secret prison known as the Tomb.
1:18:28
So the plot was that Stallone was an effort at breaking out of
1:18:31
prisons to test the security.
1:18:34
And then he wound up getting trapped in a specialized facility
1:18:37
to design the
1:18:37
SPEAKER_02: world's most dangerous criminals.
1:18:42
SPEAKER_02: It was Jim Caviezel was the warden.
1:18:46
SPEAKER_03: I missed all of this.
1:18:47
SPEAKER_02: I missed this.
1:18:49
SPEAKER_03: Wow.
1:18:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:18:51
SPEAKER_02: It's called, it's called escape plan.
1:18:55
SPEAKER_02: That was the world's most secret and secure prison.
1:18:56
SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm talking.
1:18:57
SPEAKER_02: We need something like that.
1:18:58
SPEAKER_02: Like, like, you know, stick them out.
1:19:00
SPEAKER_02: Like,
1:19:01
SPEAKER_02: like they have in the Avengers where it's a subterranean below the water,
1:19:04
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:19:05
super max facility and just lock these people up and just
1:19:08
basically bury them in
1:19:09
SPEAKER_02: the ocean somewhere.
1:19:11
SPEAKER_03: I mean, honestly, with Trump, it wouldn't be that hard.
1:19:13
SPEAKER_03: You just drop him off and like by himself in Indianapolis.
1:19:17
SPEAKER_03: And he probably, you know, with no help.
1:19:19
SPEAKER_03: And then he probably couldn't.
1:19:19
SPEAKER_02: You don't have to go that far.
1:19:20
SPEAKER_02: I could drop him off in Okeechobee, Florida.
1:19:22
SPEAKER_02: He won't know what to do.
1:19:24
SPEAKER_00: He won't know what to do.
1:19:28
SPEAKER_00: Just put him in Donner's Pass.
1:19:30
SPEAKER_03: We'll find...
1:19:31
SPEAKER_03: If it's in Florida,
1:19:32
SPEAKER_03: you'll find him laying on the side of a gravel road,
1:19:34
SPEAKER_03: sweating like a slug,
1:19:36
SPEAKER_03: just going,
1:19:36
SPEAKER_03: I need a Diet Coke.
1:19:38
SPEAKER_03: Someone get me a Diet Coke.
1:19:40
SPEAKER_03: Somebody get me a... I need a cheeseburger.
1:19:43
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:19:45
It's like,
1:19:46
why do you guys...
1:19:47
We'll actually get...
1:19:48
It's like,
1:19:49
isn't this crude unusual?
1:19:50
SPEAKER_03: It's like, no, we know where he's at.
1:19:51
SPEAKER_03: He's right there.
1:19:52
SPEAKER_02: Well, he could just reopen Alligator Alcatraz for him.
1:19:55
SPEAKER_00: Oh, there we go.
1:19:57
SPEAKER_00: And so, I mean...
1:19:59
Another solution is to actually use what the consequence of
1:20:03
being a traitor is in
1:20:04
SPEAKER_00: this country,
1:20:05
SPEAKER_00: because at this point,
1:20:07
SPEAKER_00: we can easily try.
1:20:09
SPEAKER_00: People should be tried for treason.
1:20:11
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
1:20:11
SPEAKER_00: For what they're doing.
1:20:13
SPEAKER_00: And there is a punishment for treason.
1:20:15
SPEAKER_02: Can I be one of the jurors permanently?
1:20:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know if I would be impartial in that, Jerry.
1:20:20
SPEAKER_00: I don't think anybody could really be impartial.
1:20:22
SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
1:20:24
that's okay because it's the will of the people which would
1:20:26
matter and we should be
1:20:28
trying these angry men or do we just get 12 angry women to
1:20:32
serve on the jury i
1:20:34
would give it to women black women minority women 12 angry
1:20:38
women just in general
1:20:39
just 12 angry as long as it's not all white women like no i
1:20:43
don't want just white
1:20:44
SPEAKER_00: it has to have real diversity
1:20:47
SPEAKER_02: Yep,
1:20:48
but I'm okay with 12 angry women sitting in judgment against
1:20:51
the former sexual
1:20:52
SPEAKER_02: rapist predator of the United States.
1:20:54
SPEAKER_00: I think they should all be Epstein survivors, to be honest.
1:20:57
SPEAKER_00: I think they should be the ones who are the jury.
1:21:01
SPEAKER_00: I like that idea.
1:21:03
Because they're the only ones I think who would be considered
1:21:07
an appropriate jury
1:21:09
SPEAKER_00: for that type of action.
1:21:10
SPEAKER_00: Jury of his peers.
1:21:12
SPEAKER_00: Jury of the peers of their victim.
1:21:14
SPEAKER_00: I think it should be a jury of the peer of the victim.
1:21:17
that would be that that would be one i would and you televise i
1:21:21
would want to go
1:21:21
sit in the gallery for that one i would oh no it has to be
1:21:24
public has to be public
1:21:26
required on every tv has to be visible has to be easily seen
1:21:32
has to be broadcasted
1:21:33
SPEAKER_00: by every network
1:21:35
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't have to always be showing,
1:21:38
SPEAKER_00: but it has to be available freely on YouTube or something as well,
1:21:43
SPEAKER_00: like everywhere.
1:21:44
SPEAKER_03: I would demand it would be on terrestrial radio even then, too.
1:21:50
SPEAKER_03: The North Atlantic voice is like, and Trump's falling asleep yet again.
1:21:55
SPEAKER_03: He's drooling on the table.
1:21:58
SPEAKER_00: Can we get George Orwell?
1:21:59
SPEAKER_02: Get a baseball play-by-play guy, right?
1:22:01
SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
1:22:02
SPEAKER_02: Get a hockey play-by-play guy to do it.
1:22:05
SPEAKER_02: Back in the corner again.
1:22:06
SPEAKER_02: Oh, Trump's defense.
1:22:11
SPEAKER_03: He's trying to cover up his face.
1:22:13
It looks like he's made a dookie in his pants and Todd is
1:22:16
trying to cover it up.
1:22:17
SPEAKER_03: It's like, oh, Todd, this is going to be bad.
1:22:19
SPEAKER_02: President Shitbrick has done it again.
1:22:22
SPEAKER_03: Somebody from behind the gallery.
1:22:23
SPEAKER_00: Clear the courtroom.
1:22:24
SPEAKER_03: Get an auctioneer to do it.
1:22:32
SPEAKER_02: Honestly,
1:22:33
SPEAKER_02: I would almost want the jury to come back and I want to just on his face,
1:22:37
SPEAKER_02: as much as it's detestable and deplorable,
1:22:40
to just watch him hear that jury read back guilty of treason
1:22:48
and insurrection and
1:22:49
SPEAKER_02: just literally have him stand there and look like this.
1:22:58
SPEAKER_03: You'd have to get a golf announcer for that.
1:22:59
SPEAKER_03: It's like,
1:23:00
That's the face of accountability we're seeing right now,
1:23:02
ladies and gentlemen.
1:23:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh, my God.
1:23:03
SPEAKER_00: Have a golf announcer do the whole thing.
1:23:05
SPEAKER_03: It's hitting him.
1:23:06
SPEAKER_03: It's hitting him right now.
1:23:08
SPEAKER_03: You can see his face is getting flushed.
1:23:10
SPEAKER_03: The heart palpitations are picking up.
1:23:11
SPEAKER_03: That's this, ladies and gentlemen, is what accountability looks like.
1:23:14
SPEAKER_00: The crowd is now silent.
1:23:15
SPEAKER_00: The crowd is now silent.
1:23:16
SPEAKER_00: The jury.
1:23:17
SPEAKER_00: They got to whisper.
1:23:19
The jury is returning to their seats,
1:23:21
and the judge is asking the lead juror to stand up now.
1:23:24
SPEAKER_00: Everybody quiet.
1:23:26
SPEAKER_00: We are on the green.
1:23:27
SPEAKER_00: This is the 18th hole.
1:23:28
SPEAKER_00: We are seven under par at the moment,
1:23:30
SPEAKER_00: looking to lead,
1:23:32
SPEAKER_00: looking to catch up to the lead of nine under par.
1:23:34
SPEAKER_02: Can he do this?
1:23:36
SPEAKER_02: We're seven cabinet members convicted, looking for him.
1:23:40
SPEAKER_00: Can we do this?
1:23:42
SPEAKER_00: Can we hit the final, final hit?
1:23:44
SPEAKER_00: We are one shot away from winning this cup.
1:23:49
SPEAKER_00: Treason is on the line.
1:23:51
SPEAKER_03: The bailiff is entering the gallery.
1:23:53
SPEAKER_03: He's telling Frederick Pogue,
1:23:55
SPEAKER_03: substacker,
1:23:55
and rabble rouser he has to sit down and stop flipping off
1:23:58
President Trump.
1:23:59
But,
1:24:00
you know,
1:24:00
he has warned that he is not allowed to throw used pens at the
1:24:11
accused.
1:24:12
SPEAKER_00: That is disgusting.
1:24:13
We know he smells bad already,
1:24:15
but the rest of us don't need to smell it more.
1:24:18
We are not allowing boxes of cat poop to be entered into
1:24:22
evidence and sent to the
1:24:24
SPEAKER_00: defendant's table.
1:24:26
we understand he smells like it looks like a supreme court
1:24:31
justice could continue
1:24:32
brown jackson i'm sorry i butchered her name i know is telling
1:24:35
the gallery they
1:24:36
cannot be cracking beers or alcoholic beverages in celebration
1:24:40
as after the jury
1:24:41
has read the verdict and then and then ladies and gentlemen
1:24:45
we're not seeing this
1:24:46
as a good read it looks like the putt is being missed it looks
1:24:49
like this is being
1:24:50
SPEAKER_02: misread already there is a black sharpie presented to the jury for me
1:24:56

1:25:16
the room right now.
1:25:18
SPEAKER_00: She's taking over as the lead attorney for.
1:25:23
SPEAKER_00: And it looks like she to make a statement.
1:25:27

1:25:28
SPEAKER_03: This is going to be the most fire statement ever.
1:25:31
SPEAKER_00: This would be the most bad butch body statement fucking in history.
1:25:36
