  Speaker 1: Good morning. Welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. We have
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: some headlines to get to today. Trump signs a $ 600
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: billion deal with Saudi Arabia. Jake Tapper's new book on
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the Biden cognitive climb that he helped cover up is
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: clowning Jake Tapper and also his co-author on X. He
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: really looks like such an idiot right now. Carmelo Anthony
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is given permission to graduate despite being expelled after, of course,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: stabbing another student in the heart at a track meet.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Internet searches of Brian Koberger, the man accused of killing
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: four Idaho students, sheds light on his motive. And men
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and women on TikTok are fighting over what's appropriate for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: women to wear at the gym. We're going to dig
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: into that debate, and I'm going to get your guys'
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: thoughts as well. All this on Bungina Report, early edition.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: You have a tremendous future. Thank you very much.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: And please pay my respects to your father.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: That was President Trump in Saudi Arabia. YMCA playing as
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: he concluded his address, which we're going to get into
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in a second. But first, yesterday, President Trump signed a
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: historic strategic economic partnership alongside Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: bin Salman. The partnership included a series of deals on energy, defense, mining,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: space-based agreements, that amount to, like I said, $ 600 billion.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And apparently, according to Trump, could help create 2 million
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: American jobs. The trip appears to have been very successful.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of warm vibes all throughout the trip.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I believe he leaves today. With Saudi Arabia, there seems
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to be, I told Michael this yesterday, I was like,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like President Trump is kind of Saudi Arabia coded. Like,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: have you ever been inside a Trump hotel? It kind
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of looks like like a Saudi palace. You just get
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: kind of gaudy, lots of gold everywhere. I do feel
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: like there is a natural alignment between those two, between
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Ben Salman and President Trump. But it was funny yesterday,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they really seemed to welcome the president because Saudi Arabia,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: no joke, rolled out a mobile operational McDonald's Trump truck
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: for President Trump, which is just hilarious. This is going
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: viral all over the internet. I can't believe that they
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: brought in this McDonald's truck for the president, who, of course,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: loves McDonald's, a former McDonald's employee, for a day, if
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you'll all remember on the campaign trail. So aside from
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the deal and the YMCA and the McDonald's, President Trump
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: made major headlines here and, of course, actually all across
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the Middle East, because of something that he said in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: his speech that was really powerful. This part of his
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: speech is where he signals a seismic shift in American
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: foreign policy, a rejection of neocon interventionists. This was truly
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: very well articulated. Take a listen.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the ancient conflicts of Tired divisions of the past and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: not chaos, where it exports technology, not terrorism, and where
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: not bombing each other out of existence. We don't want that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And it's crucial for the wider world to note this
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: great transformation has not come from Western interventionists or flying
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: live and how to govern your own affairs. No, the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: by the so-called nation builders, neocons, or liberal non-profits like
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: develop Kabul, Baghdad, so many other cities. Instead, the birth
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: of a modern Middle East has been brought by the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: people of the region themselves, the people that are right here,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the people that have lived here all their lives, developing
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: charting your own destinies. your own way. It's really incredible
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: what you've done. In the end, the so-called nation builders
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: wrecked far more nations than they built, and the interventionalists
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: were intervening in complex societies that they did not even
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: understand themselves. They told you how to do it, but
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Michael said, what a racist. Yeah, it's a complete opposite
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of racism, isn't it? What the president articulated was a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: clear break from years of involvement in the Middle East,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a period dominated by endless wars, forced regime changes, the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: arrogance of nation-building. as if Western hands could sculpt societies
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: in our own image without any kind of consequence. And
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: there have been consequences. Loss of human life. Mass immigration
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: because we've destabilized the entire region. An inability to trade
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and grow rich off each other. There's no way to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: make money off of a country that's been destroyed. There's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: no mutually beneficial relationship that can be had because one
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of them is in rubble So that speech was a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: gut punch to the establishment's obsession with control and manipulation abroad.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And it's not just talk. Because just yesterday, President Trump
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: lifted sanctions on Syria, giving the country a chance to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: rebuild after the West very stupidly destabilized the country for years,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: attempting to destroy Assad, who was recently ousted from the country.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: He had to flee to Russia. Finally happened after, again,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: years of pushing for regime change in Syria, which is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: something Tulsi Gabbard called out for a very long time.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And she was smeared. She was smeared as an Assad toady,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: an Assad asset, a Putin lover. Anything you could throw
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: out there against Tulsi Gabbard, they did because she said, listen,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Assad might not be great. I don't love Assad, but
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: at least he's protecting the Christians and other religious minorities.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And I think some of you mentioned in the chat, well,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I bet Avita is going to say that Trump is
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: anti-Christian because he lifted sanctions on Syria. Obviously that Christians
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: are being persecuted in Syria right now The reason they're
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: being persecuted in Syria is because this country as well
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: as other Western nations engaged in a years-long regime change
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: operation that resulted in Assad getting kicked out of the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: country and now Syria is being led by a former
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: al-qaeda terrorist Muslim radical extremists who yes are persecuting Christians,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: but I think what Trump is signaling here is okay.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I Assad was ousted. It was not my doing. Obviously,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: this happened because of the Biden admin and also years
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of foreign policy that has been disastrous. And so we're
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: just saying we're not going to be involved in this anymore.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: We're going to hopefully let them rebuild in some way.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But we aren't going to engage in the same kind
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of nation building, the same kind of subversion or economic
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: sanctions that have destroyed countries that are much better off
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: rebuilding from the rubble than continuing to falter. I don't know, Michael,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: do you have a mic working, Michael? Oh, his mic's
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: not working. I was going to have him chime in
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: here because Michael has some good takes on these things usually.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I'm very worried about the Christians
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in Syria. I'm worried about the Christians across the Middle
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: East who have been abused by these radical governments that
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: have come in and filled power vacuums created by the West.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And at the same time, I say we have to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: give them a chance to rebuild because that You got
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a mic now. Michael, what are your thoughts on this? Syria,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: regime change, nothing? I think every time the U.S. government
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: intervenes in any.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Way, they screw it up.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. So this is definitely a break from
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: previous foreign policy. I think that single act, lifting the sanctions,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: speaks louder than a thousand diplomatic speeches. It says that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the era of meddling is over, that sovereign nations deserve
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the dignity of to rise and flourish on their own terms,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a stunning about-face from the failed policies of the past.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The staggering $ 1. 6 trillion pledged by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the UAE is a testament that, for once, the U.S.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is standing beside the Middle East as a trading partner,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: not a puppet master. We are a rich, powerful nation.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Why shouldn't we trade, innovate, and grow together? Why shouldn't
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: prosperity replace perpetual conflict? And really the most radical aspect
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of this shift is the unapologetic respect for sovereignty. Trump
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: is signaling that he is no longer willing to to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: be tethered to old alliances at the expense of broader peace.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: For years, American policy has been tangled up in endless
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: loyalty to interventionist ideals, propping up conflicts under the guise
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of spreading democracy. But what if true peace is built
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: not through force, but through trust? What if the Middle East,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: left to its own devices, is capable of greatness on
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: its own, That's the bet that President Trump is making,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and it's a bold one. A Middle East that stands
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: on its own two feet, strong, sovereign, unchanged from the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: puppet strings of foreign intervention. It's not just good for them,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it's good for us. Trump is truly embracing the power
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of real equal partnership, and I'm here for it. All right,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: we have a lot more to get to today, including
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Jake Tapper thoroughly embarrassing himself this week on the internet.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: But first, I want to get to some of our
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: wonderful sponsors. Okay, Original Sin. Original Sin. President Biden's decline,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: its cover-up, and its disastrous chaos. It's his disastrous choice
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to run again. That is the title of the new
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: book by Axios journalist Alex Thompson and CNN's Jake Tapper.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And this book covers Biden's cognitive decline and, of course,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the cover-up, which Thompson and Tapper were very much in on.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: But unsurprisingly, that part of the story does not make
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: it into the book. They're completely absolved. They did nothing wrong.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: They were just straight shooters, just regular journalists reporting on
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the news. And they're learning about the cover-up and exposing
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it right now for us because they had no idea
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: what was going on. Because these are solid, solid journalists,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. It's pretty convenient, isn't it,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that the same journalists who once spun stories to conceal
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Biden's clear signs of decline are now trying to profit.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: from exposing the very truth that they helped to hide
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: from the American people, which, by the way, is an
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: impossible task because all of America knew he was in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: cognitive decline while he was running in 2020. So just yesterday,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Alex Thompson, because he's trying to promote his book, he
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: reported on an excerpt from his book in Axios where
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he revealed that aides for then-President Joe Biden, quote, discussed
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: wheelchair use if Biden was reelected. And the book quotes
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: an anonymous senior ex-Biden aide who said, We attempted to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: shield Biden from his own staff. So many people didn't
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: realize the extent of the decline beginning in 2023. Even
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: more damning, David Plouffe, the man who managed Barack Obama's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: 2008 campaign, is quoted as saying that Kamala Harris's 107-day
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: campaign against now-President Donald Trump was an effing nightmare. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it's all Biden. He totally effed us. So some pretty
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: strong quotes in this book that, of course, Dave Thompson
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: is trying to amplify because they're trying to increase the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: book sales. I want people to get interested and actually
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: read about this Biden cover-up, cognitive decline cover-up. Here's where
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the hypocrisy drips off the page. The same corporate media
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that buried Biden's decline for years is now rushing to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: unearth it, not out of integrity, but because the political
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: winds have shifted. Now that there's no political cost, the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: same voices that once protected the narrative are cashing in
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: on its collapse. As Sean Davis wrote on X, this
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: is a reputation rescue operation for corrupt corporate media. They're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: only doing this now after covering it up for years
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: because there's no political cost. And to superficially absolve themselves
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of blame for being co-conspirators in the cover-up, they have
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to pretend that they were misled. If you need a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: reminder of just how deep the denial ran, here is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a supercut of Jake Tapper himself hiding Biden's cognitive decline
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: for four years. Just keep in mind, this man is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: writing a book on the cover-up of Joe Biden's mental decline.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And here he is, engaging and fueling and participating in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: said cover-up. Take a listen.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: feel when they see you make a comment like that?
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: It's very clearly a cognitive decline.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm referring to.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: It makes me uncomfortable.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: You are no... It's so amazing. It's so amazing to
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: me that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: figure out an answer.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: A cognitive decline. President Biden embraces his stutter talking about
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: it while Trump mocks it, exaggerates it, belittles it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: He's sharp physically.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, mentally. Yeah.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: I think the question is physically, right?
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: More so. Right.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: or four years younger than him.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, you have questioned President Biden's age, mental fitness,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: ability to lead of those supporting Biden. You said, quote,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: shame on all of you pretending everything is OK. You're
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: leading us and him into a disaster. Do you worry
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: that you damaged him at all?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I don't doubt.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: That you got hugs and handshakes behind closed doors today
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: and maybe even publicly some of them because they like
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: you personally. But I've heard a lot of really nasty
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: stuff about you from your Democratic colleagues. I mean, just
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: like what is he thinking? Exercise and narcissism. I mean,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: false claims to The Wall Street Journal about President Biden's
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: mental fitness and acuity. He's 81 and his memory, you know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: it doesn't seem great. It's not horrible. But I don't
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: understand the outrage.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable. You watch that, you're just like,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I can't even fathom that he is attempting to profit
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: off of the scandal that he actively participated in. It's absurd.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Alex Thompson also engaged in the cover-up.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: In June 2023, Thompson wrote a story for Axios titled,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Biden's Weird Words. And in this piece, Thompson writes about
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: how quote, Biden's quirky aphorisms are sometimes weaponized by Republicans
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to insinuate the 80-year-old president is in mental decline. But
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Biden has been using unique phrases for years, even though
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: some of his aides aren't exactly sure what he means
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: by them. So obviously trying to make excuses for Biden
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: being in total cognitive decline, saying, oh, he's just kind
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of quirky. He's acted like that for a long time.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Something to worry about. So not as bad as Jake Tapper,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: but certainly bad. They all participated in this cover-up. I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: saw this clip yesterday. It is one that I don't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: even remember from the last four years of the Biden admin,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: but it was so shocking to me. I wanted to
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: share it with you guys. This is a reminder of
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: what we were dealing with those four years and the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: way that people like Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper were
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: trying to gaslight us into thinking that Biden was totally okay. Again,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: this is from 2022 with Jonathan Capehart, where Capehart looks
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: ready to call a doctor because Biden just short circuits mid-interview.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Take a listen.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I have not made that formal decision, but it's my intention,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: my intention to run again. And we have time to
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: make that decision.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Dr.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Biden is for it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: President.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Dr.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Biden thinks that, my wife thinks that we're doing something
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: very important.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Okay, so if you're listening, Biden's looking down.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: He has no idea where he is. And then Capehart
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: has no clue what to do. And he reaches his
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: hand out as if like something's wrong. Like I said,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it seemed like he was about to call a doctor,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: like he was really concerned. Everyone knew what was going on.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: And now Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson are trying to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: profit by exposing the big lie that they themselves told
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and all of America has already been in on since
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: 2020 because we could see it with our own eyes.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And now that the walls are closing in, Democrat journalists
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: are trying to, of course, rehabilitate their reputations. But Democrat
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: politicians are facing the fire without that usual media shield.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. Instead of admitting that they played their part,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: these journalists are rushing to pin the blame entirely on
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Biden and his inner circle and Democrat politicians, high-level Democrat politicians,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: washing their hands of any complicity. Here's CNN's Casey Hunt.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: pressing Chuck Schumer yesterday on Biden's mental decline. This is pretty, pretty,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it's difficult to watch. Take a listen.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: I really do want to ask you about something that
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: has been breaking out of CNN, our Jake Tapper and
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Alex Thompson have written a book called Original Sin, and
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: they call it a cover up of Biden's health and
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: his cognition and his fitness, quite frankly, to be president
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: of the United States. You sat next to Biden in
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: the Oval Office, February 27th, 2024, just a handful of
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: months before the president took that debate stage. And it
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: was later reported that you and other Democratic leaders were
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: talking before the debate about having a plan. You and
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama. I understand you later
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: denied that that ever happened. But I am curious, I'm
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: interested to know whether the man that you saw sitting
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: there on that couch on that day, you were in there,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: you saw him up close and personal. Did you really
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: not have any idea that he was not fit to
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: serve a second term?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Casey, we're looking forward.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: We have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: We have the whole federal government at risk.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: You're facing all of this because you lost a presidential election.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: And is that not Joe Biden's responsibility for deciding to
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: run again? We're looking forward.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: That's it?
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Senator Chuck Schumer, I know you got to go.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I appreciate your time today.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I'll see you soon.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: I hope.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Take care.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Really bold. Like, bold. He just refuses to answer. And
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I guess somewhat to her credit, she presses him But
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you have to understand that she, Jake, Alex, everyone else
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: in the corporate media are doing this because they want
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to save their own asses, their own reputations by blaming
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the White House, by blaming the Bidens, by blaming high-level
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: politicians like Chuck Schumer, blaming everyone except themselves. The most
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: glaring hypocrisy here is not that the media is suddenly
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: willing to discuss Biden's mental decline. It's that those who
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: once deliberately shielded him are now profiting off that very exposure.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: The timing is not about journalistic integrity, but political expediency.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: There is no longer a cost to revealing the truth,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: so the same actors who were complicit in concealing it
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: now want to appear as courageous truth-tellers. It is all
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: reputation management. And frankly, I'm okay with the left eating
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: its own. If they want to turn this on Democrat politicians,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: on Chuck Schumer, and hold them accountable, even though they're
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: not holding themselves accountable, well, that's good for us. Who cares?
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: They're doing something. So I'm not upset about this. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: do think that Jake Tapper is a clown. He deserves
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to be called out. But if we're going to put
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer and other high-level Democrats on the spot and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: make them answer for the way that they covered up
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: for Joe Biden's mental decline, I'm fine with that. I
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: want to turn to an update in the Carmelo Anthony case.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony is, of course, a black high school student
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: who murdered a white student, Austin Metcalf, by stabbing Metcalf
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: in the heart at a track meet. Per the Daily Mail,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony has now been told that he can graduate
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: from high school. The Daily Mail said that this was,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I guess, kind of a surprising move because initially the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: school did not seem inclined to allow him to finish
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: high school. as he's facing, of course, a first-degree murder charge,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and the school also has already expelled him. So it's unclear, really,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: how he's going to be able to graduate if he's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: already expelled. But what Carmelo Anthony's family— but this happened after
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony's family held a press conference and claimed— this
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: is the press conference where they threw out the victim's father.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: And at this conference, they claimed that they were victims
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of racism. And then within hours, the school district reached
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: out to them and said that he would be allowed
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to graduate, but he will not be able to participate
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: in the May 22nd graduation ceremony or walk the stage.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: By the way, this boy's family is currently renting a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: home worth nearly a million dollars, and they've raised over
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: half a million on GiveSendGo for, I don't know, I
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: guess their son murdering an innocent kid. And I was
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: thinking about this case yesterday. in the context of how
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: racist the media has been in the response to white
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Afrikaners seeking refuge here in America. Yesterday, we covered journalists
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and Democrat politicians claiming that they aren't real victims. These
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Afrikaners aren't victims. They aren't real refugees, that their government
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: isn't racist against white people, the whole thing. And first
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of all, you all tell me, if this isn't racist.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Here is South African leader Julius Malema talking about really
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: genocide of white people. Take a listen. I don't know
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the future.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I'm saying to you, we've not called for the killing
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: of white people, at least for now.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I can't guarantee the future.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean, you'd understand somebody watching that, especially
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: as it gets shared on Twitter, they freak out.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a genocidal call.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Cry babies.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Cry babies.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: I'm not calling for the slaughter of white people, at
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: least for now. I can't give you a guarantee of
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: the future, especially when things are going the way they are.
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: Subtext.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: We're good with that, Michael.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Especially if things are going.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: The way they are. He says, we have not called
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: for the killing of white people, at least for now.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I can't guarantee the future. And then he's like, well,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that sounds like genocide. And he goes, well, cry babies then.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Cry babies. I want you to take a look at
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: this video of crosses lining the road. If you could
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: throw that up there, Michael. Each one of these crosses
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: represents a white Christian farmer killed in South Africa. Over 4,000
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: white farmers have been killed since 1994. The brutal, torturous
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: murders of the haves at the hands of the supposed have-nots.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: It is race Marxism in its final form. And the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: scariest thing is that it's here in this country too.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: It's here in this country, too. I mean, we just
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: talked about the way Carmelo Anthony is raising money off
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of the murder of a white kid, that he was expelled,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: but then his family cries racism, and now he's allowed
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to graduate. I want you to take a listen to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: this woman on TikTok. It's gotten a little bit viral.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Black lady, FYI, for those of you not on Rumble,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: here she is reacting to white Afrikaners seeking refuge in America.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: This is a really really disturbing video. Take a listen.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: This is for the South Africans who are going to
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: be entering the United States. This is just a public
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: service announcement.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to.
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: Make you aware that the Black people who were students
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: during apartheid, we're grandmas and grandpas now, and we have
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: the era of Gen Z. Mm-hmm.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Not much. One more thing.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: I also want to let you know that our president,
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: he has secret service and you will not. I also
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: want to tell you that black people over here are empowered.
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: These are just public service announcements. When you get here,
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: sit your ass down and don't touch nothing. Because you
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: don't have Secret Service.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: Now have the day you deserve.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that is straight up a threat. She's saying
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: that these new refugees will be hunted down, harmed, and killed.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Exactly like what's happening in their home country. And you
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: might say, well, LaVita, no one's really going to hunt
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: them down. She's just a crazy lady. And I say, okay, one,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: we don't know that. And two, she felt bold enough
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to post that on TikTok. That means something. That means
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: this kind of murderous behavior toward white people, she thinks
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: is normal. She thinks is socially acceptable to the point
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: where she would post that out to the whole world
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: that we're going to suggest people in the United States,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Gen Zers, leftists, black people, are going to hunt down
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: these refugees and murder them here in America. Today, racism
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: against whites is always either impossible or it's insignificant, but
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: in that video, it's obvious that it is indeed real.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And if you go to South Africa and you see
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: what's happened to them, there is race Marxism in its
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: final form. Racism by definition is prejudice or discrimination directed
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: at someone based on their race. It is not limited
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to supposed historical power dynamics. That's the excuse that they use. Well,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you can't be racist against white people because white people
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: are in power in this country. Really? Systemically in this country,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: everything is set up against white people. The corporate world,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the education system, even just day-to-day lives, where it's justified
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: and normal to post on TikTok videos threatening to murder
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: white refugees, where it's normal to raise over half a
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: million dollars for a kid who murdered a white boy
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: at a track meet, stabbed him in the heart to
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: the point where he died in his brother's arms. All
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the race Marxism in South Africa is killing people, but
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: we are in the early stages of it here in
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the United States. if even that, because like I say,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: people are justifying the murder of Austin Metcalf simply because
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: he's white, raising over half a million dollars for him,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: stabbed in the heart, dies in his brother's arms, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: this is normal and worthy of funding for his family.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: People in America feel sorry for Carmelo Anthony simply because
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: of his skin color and no sympathy for the boy
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: who was murdered or his family because they're white. I
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: really wonder if if our new South African refugees have
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: long before this country turns into the hellscape that they
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: just fled. I wonder if President Trump bringing these refugees
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: here is just almost subliminally like a great reminder of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: what could happen to us. Where does this path lead us?
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And I think it's pretty horrifying and nobody wants it,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: but it is the fruits of race Marxism. And we
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: see the beginnings of it here in the United States.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: And it's truly disturbing. So keep that in mind. By
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the way, I want to share with you guys an
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: update on the horrific murder of the Moscow, Idaho students.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: This story that you guys are probably familiar with, it's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a story that I've been following pretty closely over the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: past few years. A little background information here. In the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: early hours of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students, Madison, Kaylee, Zanna,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and Ethan, were fatally stabbed in their off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Madison and Kaylee, two childhood best friends, had spent the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: evening at a local bar in a food truck, and
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: they came home at around 1.56 a.m. Zanna and Ethan,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: who were dating, attended a fraternity that night. They were partying.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: They arrived back at approximately 1.45 a.m. A door dash
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: delivery occurred at around 4 a.m. And shortly after, one
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: surviving roommate reported hearing noises and seeing a masked figure
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: inside the house. And despite all these events, the first
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: 911 call wasn't made until nearly noon. when one of
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the surviving roommates found an unresponsive victim and then called
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: for help. What's bizarre is who gruesomely murdered these young
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: women and young man? Brian Kohlberger, 28-year-old criminology PhD student
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: at Washington State University, was arrested in December 2022 and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: of felony burglary. Investigators linked him to the crime through
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: DNA found on a knife sheath at the scene, surveillance
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: footage of his vehicle near the residence during the time
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: of the murders, and cell phone data placing him in
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the vicinity multiple times before and after the killings. What
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: no one really has any understanding of is what was
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Koberger's murder? There's no evidence that he even knew these students.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: We don't really know what kind of prior connection he
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: may have had, if any. And then also, why were
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: two of the roommates in the house left unharmed, but
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the others were not? One of them he apparently encountered,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: but left her alone. Kohlberger has pleaded not guilty and
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: awaits trial, and this trial is scheduled for August 11, 2025,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: so pretty soon here. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Like I said, motive remains unclear, but, and this is
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the news, a damning report by NBC News Dateline reveals
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: that He had saved dozens of photos of female students
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: at both Washington State and the University of Idaho, many
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: of whom were in bathing suits. So he's got all
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: these photos of random women from these schools, including the
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: University of Idaho, on his phone, many of them not
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: fully clothed. The photos seemingly came from a pool party
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: that Koberger had been invited to in Moscow on July 9th.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: and a review of the accounts that had posted the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: photos found that a number of them were close friends
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: with Madison, Kaylee, and Zanna. Kohlberger had even returned to
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Moscow after dark following this pool party, and data from
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: his cell phone showed it connected to a cell phone
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: tower near the victim's off-campus house a total of 23
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: times over the course of four months. Dateline also reports
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: that Kohlberger's searched the internet for sociopathic traits in college student.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: And the following month, there was a search for pornography
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: containing keywords, drugged and sleeping. Another search included, can psychopaths
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: behave pro-socially? I was so stunned. I was so horrified
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: when this story came out because I felt like it
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: could have happened to me. Like I was in college
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: not that long ago. It happened in 2022. I graduated
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: in 2022. I had lived in an apartment with three
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: other people, all of us coming home late at night,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: security pretty lax. It's a college apartment building. And yeah,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I was just really kind of taken aback, horrified. You
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: saw these young women posting on TikTok just like the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: same day or the day before this happened. And it
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: just made you think, oh my goodness, like they had
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: no idea what was coming. I felt like it could
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: have happened to me. And I feel like the question
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of motive is really haunting here because We naturally want
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: things to make sense. We look for reasons, for explanations
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: that help us understand. But sometimes there's a kind of
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: darkness that defies simple logic, and it's terrifying. Evil that
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: has no clear motive is terrifying. And Kohlberger's actions before
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the murderers, stalking, taking photos, creepy internet searches, it suggests
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: a mind almost studying its own darkness. It's kind of eerie,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: like almost clinical, like he was dissecting his own detachment
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: from empathy. It's one thing to be curious about human behavior.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: It's another to analyze it with the kind of coldness
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: that seems completely detached from compassion or understanding. And by
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the way, I reported not too long ago that major
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: book publishers and Hollywood producers are already chomping at the bit,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: this is a quote from this piece, to obtain the
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: inside story of the gruesome Idaho murders with some gearing
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: up to pay tens of millions of dollars for the rights.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is kind of just disgusting to me.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Per the Daily Mail, true crime authors eager to make
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a splash with the biggest murder story to captivate the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: nation in years are already bombarding publishing houses with their
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: proposal for a blockbuster on the quadruple killings. I think
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that there's something really unsettling about that. And even about
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: true crime entertainment in general. Entire industries built around retelling
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the darkest moments in people's lives, turning all of these
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: painful memories into podcasts and documentaries and TikTok recaps. It
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like storytelling. It feels like consumption. We watch,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: we listen, we analyze, almost like we're solving a puzzle
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and reveling in the horror instead of actually witnessing tragedy
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: and feeling sorry. And it's easy to justify. It's just, oh, well,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: it's just curiosity. It's just staying informed. But there's a
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: fine line between awareness and fascination, I think. It's the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: same kind of pull that seems to have driven Brian
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Koberger's obsession, his voyeuristic urge to peer into his own darkness,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: to linger there longer than he should have. And sometimes
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I catch myself getting into true crime. Sometimes you have
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to take a step back, though, and wonder, is this
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: really good for me? I think a part of the
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: human mind that can't really separate what you see from
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: what you live through and indulging in all that darkness,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: even as a spectator, leaves a mark. For example, I
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: believe in demonic possession. I think it's real. I believe
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: in dark forces. And it's easy to be fascinated by that,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: to be attracted to learning more. But the Catholic Church,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: for example, will say, It's okay, and you should be
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: aware of these things, but you shouldn't linger on them.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Don't obsess. You have to protect your own innocence. Anyway,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I think this is a horrifying story, and like I said,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the trial will be in August, and the death penalty
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: is on the table, which is a whole other moral question.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I want you guys to drop a comment. Tell me,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: what do you think of the death penalty? I'll just
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: say this. I'm against the death penalty. Michael is for
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the death penalty, but it is an issue that I
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: am not so solid on, And I could be persuaded otherwise.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: So give me your thoughts in the comments. Tell me
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: what you think. All right, I do want to get
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: to this viral debate that's taking place on TikTok. I
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to cover it yesterday. We didn't have time.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: This debate is on what is and isn't appropriate to
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: wear at the gym. And this video that I'm going
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: to play for you, this is a video that started
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: it all. It has nearly 24 million views on TikTok.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Take a listen.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: Like, we really in a day and age, we're telling,
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: can we, can you please stop coming to the gym,
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: ass f * * * ing naked, starts a public.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: F * * * ing discourse, a public f *
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: * * ing uproar.
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: Like, all we want to do is come to.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: The f * * * ing gym and work out,
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: but no, the.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: Leg press machine gotta look like a.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: F * * * ing.
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: Casting couch, because b * * * * is literally
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: at the gym in lingerie, like, what the f *
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: * * are we talking about, then a Look you
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: in your eyes and tell you it's not bothering anybody.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I'm uncomfortable. What the f * * *?
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: Are we at Myrtle Beach or LA Fitness? Help me understand.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: Help me understand why you feel the need to come
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: outside damn near naked. What is it about why are
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: you fighting so hard to literally just go in public
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: service ass naked? Like that's essentially what the you fighting for.
• 38:46
  Speaker 7: Like this is if that is important to you as
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: a person, you are one privileged piece of shit. Because
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: who the out of all the bills, death, institutionalized, systematic
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: racism and imperialism. And you want to put your time
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: and emotions to fighting for people to be able to
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: come to any public event as naked. Shorts so tight
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: up her ass, she got a fart for them to
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: come off. I get the fuck out of my face.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: So very funny reaction, very negative reactions to this, though.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: So women have not been very happy with this TikTok.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: And here is one response with nearly 400,000.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: Views.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Women essentially saying we can wear what we want. This
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: is totally appropriate. And screw off men. Take a listen.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: I'm confused.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Do we have that Mikey?
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: It's coming. I think we might've missed. I think we
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: might've not been able to download it correctly, but he's
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: going to find that video for us. But I want, Chad,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I want you to drop a comment and tell me
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: what you think. Because the consensus from a lot of
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: young liberal women on the internet, actually, I wouldn't even
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: say liberal, just women in general, is that this is slut-shaming,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: that this is super wrong, that the men are being
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: red-pilled and the modesty police is coming after them. And
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: so they are rejecting it. They're rejecting this idea of
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: men saying, hey, you probably shouldn't be dressing like you're at,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: he said, Myrtle Beach instead of LA Fitness. And I
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think that we should be long
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: skirts wearing, hijab wearing at the gym. But I do
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: think that there is a line that some women crossed. Michael,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: do we have that video? Almost have it? Okay. Because
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: it is an interesting debate that I think context really matters.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: And intent really matters. Are you trying to look sexy
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: and grab attention at the gym? Or are you there
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: to work out? And I think the way that you're
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: dressing is going to reveal the intention. Are you dressing
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: to work out? Are you dressing to grab attention? And
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: it can be hard to draw the line on what's
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: acceptable and what's not. But I think that, so the
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice famously said it best when they were
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: ruling on pornography, I know it when I see it. Like,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I know it. I know when I see somebody is
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: dressing really inappropriately or doing something inappropriate, like Blue Ivy, right?
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: Dancing.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday at the Beyonce concert and
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: she's 13 years old. And I'm like, no question. This
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: is not, this is not an appropriate thing for a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: 13 year old to do. Like I know it when
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: I see it. You just kind of instinctively know when
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: an outfit is more about getting attention than actually getting
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: in a good workout. We have this reaction video. I
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: want to give you guys this so you can have
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: the other perspective here from a young woman who is
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: angry about this TikTok. Take a listen.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: I'm confused. What's up with all these straight men being
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: the pioneers of purity culture? What? I've seen so many
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: videos recently that are like, I just freaking went to
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: the gym and saw a woman in biker shorts and
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: a sports bra. You guys are getting out of hand.
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: Or the dude that was like, yo, what's up with bikinis?
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: What are you talking about? Isn't that like your whole thing?
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: Don't you want to see that? I don't know. It's
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: like climate change is going to get us in a
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: few years. And you're making women worried about if they
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: should be covering up or not. We are not on
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: the Oregon Trail anymore. We're not Amish, bro. I'm not
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: putting on my bonnet and my nightgown to go work out.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: I don't know. And if you like wearing oversize clothes
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: to the gym, do it. If you like wearing a
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: sports bra and biker shorts, do it. Like, I don't know.
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: Me personally, if I were to wear a sweatshirt and
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: sweatpants to the gym, I would pass out and die
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: because I get super hot when I'm working out.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: If you can do that, more power to you. I
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: don't know. I don't know. Why are we, why are
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: we so scared of the human body these days? God,
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: you guys are letting the alt-right pipeline get you so fast.
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: And it's like, you didn't even try and fight that.
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: You didn't even try. Let the women wear what they want.
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: So I feel like you can't have it both ways.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: That was my immediate reaction to this clip because she
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: wants to dress however she wants to dress, but she
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to have any kind of consequences. Women generally are,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of discourse online of women reacting to
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: men who will like glance at them because they have
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: a recording up and they're recording their workout. And some
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: guy like looks at them and like, oh, this guy's
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: making me feel so uncomfortable. It's like, well, maybe because
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: you're wearing booty shorts, like everybody's looking because it's just
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: hanging out there. And I think there's, it's become, it's
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: gotten to the point where women will fail at a rep.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Like they'll, they'll be using a barbell and squatting and
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: they'll fail. And men won't come to help them because
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: men are like straight, looking straightforward, doing their workout, refusing
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: to even look or go near a woman because they're
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: afraid of getting told, oh, well, you're making me feel
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable because you're staring at my boobs or my ass,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: which of course are hanging out at the gym and
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: they probably shouldn't be. I feel like the gym should
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: be a place focused on health, on self-improvement, not sexy
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Instagram content. And frankly, I think there is merit to
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: considering the idea of male-only and female-only gyms like they
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: have in the Middle East. I'm not a fan of
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: radical Islam, I'm not, guys, but they do do something right.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I do feel like it would be great if we
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: had women-only spaces at the gym and men-only spaces. And again,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: it might sound extreme, but I think that it would
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: cut out the distractions for everyone, make everyone feel a
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: lot more comfortable. Women, I feel like, would like that
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: as well. A lot of women talk about feeling uncomfortable
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: at the gym because they're working out next to men
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: who are way stronger or taking up the equipment, feel
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: entitled to the equipment. And it would, I think, make
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: a much better, more comfortable environment for everyone. I also
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: will say I don't love the ultra-modesty police. There's people
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: on the internet who will just go around shaming people
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: for completely reasonable outfits. And I'm sure that there are
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: some people who are very religious, certainly if you're Islamic,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: that would say my gym outfits are inappropriate. They would
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: say that my outfit right now is because my shoulders
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: are showing. So I think it's always going to be
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: a little bit subjective. And at the same time, I
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: like that Supreme Court quote where they say, you just
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: kind of know it when you see it. You know
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: when somebody is dressing with the intent to make sexy
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Instagram content and not just there to work out. So
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: those are my two cents, but I want to hear
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: what you guys think. Drop a comment. Tell me what
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: you think. about this issue and also about the death penalty.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll fully form my thoughts a little more on that.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it later. But for now, thank you
