  Speaker 1: well as the comments section on this week's HPR News.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking a little bit about the subpoena
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of Hassan Piker, a CEO removes his HR department and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: learns something fascinating and more so, stick around. It's going
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to be a good time and we should have joined
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: us afterwards for the patron only show. So you guys
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: remember the Mary Sue, that Mary Sue, the very same
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: mary Sue that was responsible for perma banning Allison from
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: all I Guess conventions forever and ever in Canada, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: they basically wrote hit pieces about us back in twenty fifteen,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you know, Expo Gate and all of that. Well, they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: still around for some reason, and they are not happy
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: because the culture in Lease, in their eyes, appears to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: be shifting away from their feminist, utopian vision. Men are
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: online are now celebrating how little women are in movies,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: or how few women appear in movies, it is probably
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a better way to phrase it. And they're looking at
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a list that was put together by one Chris Gore
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: from Film Threat of films that have no women in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: speaking roles at all, and they are really good movies.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It's it's the reverse Bechdel test. Like I think, think
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: of the movies with women. The thing that right there,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: you've got the thing. I mean, the thing is fucking
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: turn out of ten. Yeah, and then yeah, yeah, there's
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: There's, there's and they're all good movies. Like I could,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'll spoil it, but I'll give one away because I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: think this is a well known one, Lawrence of Arabia.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: It's everybody should watch everybody should watch that movie.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and twelve Angry Men with Angry.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Men, everybody should watch that movie as.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Master and Commander with Russell Prowe a really good movie.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I still have to watch that one.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So and we could go over the movies that have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: no men in them. It's it's just difficult to conduct
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: like a plot that matters people with no sense of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: responsibility or accountability.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, often, top of my head, I honestly cannot think
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: of a movie that doesn't have a man in it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard, it's hard. I can think of some
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: video games that have almost no man or very few
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: men in them.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Video games often just have like space aliens.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I should rephrase that. Also, top of my head, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: cannot think of a movie that doesn't have a man
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: in it and isn't some kind of porn.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah right. What were those like grindhouse movies with
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: like women in cages? Maybe maybe one of those, maybe
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: one of those men.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Well, they always have to have a man that the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: women can beat on, because yeah, what's the point, you.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Know, or a man that victimizes them that they then
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: get revenge on, like death Proof. Yeah yeah, all right,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: but anyway, So, uh yeah, we're gonna be looking at
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: this list, We're gonna be talking about this. I love
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: talking about this stuff. It's good times. There are probably
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: lots of films that don't have women at least if
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: they do have women, they have women that don't have
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: speaking roles. This is like an important thing that they're
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: talking about has zero female speaking roles, so they could
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: be in the background, you know, extras mutes something like that,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and yeah, that could be fun. So if you guys

• 5:23
  Speaker 1: all that out of the way, let us get into
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: today's stories. So on Saturday May third, just a few
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: days ago, around six pm Eastern Time, twenty one year
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: old Nazir Best, yes that's his name, from Dundalk, Maryland,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: approached a Secret Service checkpoint at seventeenth Street Northwest and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House. Puld epistol from a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: bag and open fire on officers. Secret Service agents return fire,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: striking Best, who later died at a hospital. President Trump
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: was inside the White House but was unharmed. The complex
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: was briefly locked down. One bystander was also struck by gunfire.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: The incident was contained quickly, with no other threats reported.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Best had a documented history of mental health issues and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: prior encounters with the Secret Service. He graduated from Dundalk
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: High School in twenty twenty three, where he ran track
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and field and later worked and as Amazon as an
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Amazon driver. They do better background checks over there in Amazon.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: In the months leading up to the shooting, friends and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: family noted a sharp decline. He became socially withdrawn, irritable,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: quit his job, and developed grandiose delusions, claiming that he
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: was Jesus Christ because one thing that Jesus Christ is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: known for doing is going up to the White House
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and opening fire with a gat. In June of twenty
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: flip some tables, I do remember that, yes. In June
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five, he was involuntarily committed to a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: psychiatric facility after obstructing a White House vehicle entry point.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: The following month, July, he was arrested after entering a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: restricted area, again claiming to be Jesus, the Son of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: God in case you guys don't know who Jesus is,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and expressing a desire to be arrested. He was known
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to agents had received a stay away order and had
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: been evicted from his apartment for non payment of rent
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in late twenty twenty five. See Jesus would pay his rent.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: This is how I know it's fake. No official, detailed
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: psychiatric evaluations or formal diagnoses such as schizophrenia or delusional
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: disorder have been publicly released due to privacy laws. Investigations
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: continue into the shooting his motive, which is basically there
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is no clear ideological driver identified so far, how he
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: obtained the weapon. His full background has not been released yet.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: This was the third reported gunfire incident near senior US
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: officials or the White House in recent weeks. So this
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: has happened on the White House property. This is just
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: talking about the recent assassinations attempts on Trump in other
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, scenarios like the golf course or Pennsylvania.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: This is on the White House in the White House area.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that's the story. This just happened. Did you
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: guys see before I get in, like give it the floor,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: did you guys see the clip that was going around
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of the newscaster lady that was there when the fire
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the gunfire was and she didn't know what it was
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: she had like no sense of self awareness. She was like,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: did you hear that?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And you no, I did not see that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You did. Yeah, it's I'll look up some clips because
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: somebody it was. People were basically saying, she has no
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: self awareness, like she doesn't know what it sounds like
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: when there's gunfire close by.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: There's there's a difference between no self awareness and no
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: awareness of that, Like, if you've never heard it before,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you can mistake it for other other sounds that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Are firing, yeah, like cars backfiring.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Sure, Whereas if if you have heard it before, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: if you've especially if you've heard it in a scary situation, Uh,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: you can mistake things that sound kind of like gunfire
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: momentarily for potentially being gunfire, and they'll make you jump
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: out of your skin.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: So it's it indicates that this woman has lived a
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: not necessarily a pampered life, but a pretty takes one
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: at least where she's she's never been afraid of gunfire, right.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Right, There's no there's That's what I'm saying. There's no
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: survival instinct that kicks in when she hears it. That's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what people are reacting to. Yes, okay,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: but yeah, go ahead, you guys give your thoughts on this.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I'll look up the clip.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: So are we counting this as another assassination attempt?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I could get up, but no, probably not.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: When we hear which are we sure that's what he
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: was even doing?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: We hear sho at the White House, and we assume
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: someone was literally shooting at the White House, like through
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the gates or something. Yeah, No, evidently he was shooting
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: at the cops, the security detail in the vicinity of
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the White House. No one in the building was in
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: any danger. The guy just thought it'd be a good
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: idea to shoot a gun at a sprawling team of
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: professional gun shooters. I mean, it sounds like suicide by
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: carp if there was ever such a thing as suicide
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: by carp. If you actually wanted to do an official service,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: you'd be like, whereas the worst place in America to
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: pull out a gun and start shooting, it's the White House.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Probably the worst place in the world to try and
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: win a gunfight is in US at high security, a
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: high security hub of a nation with more guns than people.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, that'll do it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: You'd have to be severely mentally ill not to know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: or you'd just have to be suicidal enough and lucid
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: enough to know how suicidal it is to to open
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: fire on the armed enforces of the gun capital of
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the world. That's that's what it sounds like to me.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Like if you want to die, but you, but but you,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: but you want to go out in a blaze of
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: glory like scarface, or that's what you would do if
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: your idea of glory is shooting cops. And yes, in
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: this guy's case, he seemed to have a.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Problem with cops.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what you would do if, for instance, you
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: believe you'll go to heaven if you die fighting the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: evil Satan. Might want to keep an eye out for
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that sort of belief system because it's disturbingly common on
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the international stage, FYI. So yeah, I'm surprised it doesn't
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: happen more often. You think it'd be at least as
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: common as school shootings, and it probably is. It just
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen at the White House very often anywhere else.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And it's just a guy shot at some cops and
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: he got shot to death by the cops. Yeah, that's
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: that's Tuesday. Tuesday morning, like around brunch time. It might
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: not even make the local paper. It's yeah, there are
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: there are men who hate cops and have nothing left
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to lose all over the place, like everywhere in the world.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: The solution seems like it should be, don't teach them
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to hate cops and don't take away everything they have.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: It seems simple. Shrink the circles in that then diagram
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: until they no longer overlap. That thing the state does
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: where it steals everything from you and tells you to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: take it out on the cops and defund the cops
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: is fucking resist cops because they're with it. Yeah, that
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: probably shouldn't happen in an ideal world. That wouldn't happen.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: The cops didn't take everything from you. The state did,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: probably a woman. But with the help and direction of
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the state, they do it to cops too. They'll do
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: all sorts of things to cops. They'll put them in
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: prison because the mob told them to. There's a particular
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: case I'm thinking of. You can probably think of it too.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: But you can't really shoot the state, like not even
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: if if you actually shoot the actual White House, even.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Even with a nuke.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: The state is a civil construct. It will you can
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: blow up a building, You can blow up a city
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: and the state will still exist because it is a
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: civil construct and the only way it can be deconstructed
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: is civilly. If you deconstruct it by force, you just
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: get a power vacuum which is immediately filled by the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: same shit. Because people still want to be ruled. A
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: lot of people actually want to be ruled. Sad but true.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And if you don't want to be ruled, well, the
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: only way to not be ruled is to not be ruled.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Is that simple. They pull af you pull a gun.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get catal the.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Chicago one of us in the hospital. You put them
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: in the brg Well, not that I know, but I've
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: got movie brained for a bit, and that just d
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: It's a good fucking movie.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Man. I don't like a lot of Kevin's Kevin Costner movies,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: but that's one of the good ones.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Anyway, you know, you used to it used to be
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: that if if a person had this type of issue
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: where they engaged in a bunch of criminal violence and
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: claim to be Jesus and maybe were delusional in other ways,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: uh saw things that weren't there or whatever couldn't keep
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: a job, couldn't keep a place to live, and was
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: going to end up on the street. That they would
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: be housed in an institution, and they would receive medical
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: assistance to regulate the way that their brain was working
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: so that it would actually give them a more more
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: accurate view of the world and they could interact with
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: the world without being at odds with it. And once
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: they got on some kind of medication and a regimen
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: of therapy, they might be able to leave the institution
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: if their disorder were treatable enough, and try living with
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: assistance outside of the institution. But left wing politicians decided
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: that was cruel and inhumane, and then they decided that,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: you know, everybody needed to be in therapy or on
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: all kinds of drugs, but nobody should be institutionalized unless
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: they had already been convicted of a crime that proved
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: that they were dangerous to others, or they tried to
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: kill themselves, improving thereby that they were dangerous to themselves.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: And suddenly it became a lot harder to get help
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: for somebody like this guy. At the same time, even
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: if he had been going to therapy, he was more
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: likely to get told that he thought he was Jesus
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: because he had toxic masculinity. Why don't you think you're married?
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe maybe you should be thinking that you're married.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Maybe you should be thinking that you're You're the one
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: that discovered the body was missing after you rolled away
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: the stone. What's wrong with you? Why do you have
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: to be the man? Not not? Maybe? Gosh, this guy's
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: gonna have a really rough time in the world if
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: he thinks he's Jesus and he can't stop doing viol things.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Let's see if we can help him. No, no, you
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: know most men, Well I'm going through some difficulties. Well
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: it's because you have toxic masculinity. No, not anymore. Nobody Uh,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: nobody could argue that he has toxic masculinity. Now he's dead.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Problem solved. Women don't have to think about it. Nobody
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: has to be worried. And this is the story of
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: thousands of men in this country. Maybe not this mental illness,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: maybe not this specific reason, but all of the avenues
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: they would go through to get help have been cut
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: off one way or another, either because the left thought
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: they were mean, or the left thought they didn't benefit
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: women enough, or they're right, thought they made men too wimpy,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: or you know, we get feminists in general telling us
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: that the problem isn't men who are committing suicide, it's
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: women who are attempting suicide. We should care more about
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: women attempting than we do about men dying, and unfortunately,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: that is pretty much what our society has done. They
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: care more about women attempting than they do about men dying,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: and they don't want to help. Nobody wants to help
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: the situation, so we get stories like this and until
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: our society is willing to return to a time where
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: if someone is a clear and present danger to themselves
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: or other people, yeah, they don't. They shouldn't have to
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: act on that to get help. They shouldn't have to
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: hurt somebody, whether it's themselves or somebody else, or force
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: somebody else to hurt them. If they're in that bad
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: of a condition, that should be enough. The hard part
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: is we need to be able to do that while
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: holding off the people that want your family, who the
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: members of your family who disagree with you about politics,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: to be able to get you committed for voting for
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: the wrong person. Somewhere in the middle, there needs to
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: be a balance. If you're if you think you're a god,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: maybe you should spend some time in an institution. If
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: you think that one presidential candidate is better than the other,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: may you don't It should be clear right, But unfortunately
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: the latter is going to start to be used if
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: politicians get what they want as an excuse to take
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: away your right to bear arms and your right to
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: self defense. And if you're in Canada, if you say
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the wrong thing politically, now they can assess you on
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: the street, no visit, no nothing. They didn't like what
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: you said, so you're clearly a mentally ill person and
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: you can get taken in for further assessment. That can
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: escalate to the point of them prescribing you medical assistance
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: and dying to cure what ails you without you ever
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: getting a say in the matter, and without any due process.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: It's pretty scary. This guy really could have use some help,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: and I hope we find a way in the United
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: States to make that help available to men without going
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: away that Canada did.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I just thought he was auditioning for
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the sequel to the Passion of the Christ.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: There we go, Chris Tucker and Jim Cook because if
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: the Cabezel is that it the guy from the first
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: one passion of the Christ to crucified this.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Except that didn't go as well. Here's the clip of
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the the woman reacting to the UH to the gunfire,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and it's actually like, it's interesting because she was a
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: pretty good sport about being memed on the internet.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Where is that?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: After?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So she didn't know what it was.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: But I saw a different one. I saw completely different.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: What did you see?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's it's Washington, d C. There's a bunch
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: of reporters. Yeah, and and yeah, this is just one
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: of two I've seen and the other it it didn't
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: sound like the sounds of war. It sounded like a
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: few rebelly sort of loud pops. Yeah, and there was
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: like six of them before she went, oh, ship, we'd
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: better duck.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: The difficult thing is what you would do?
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: You know this this happens to be depending on where
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: you I don't know if they do this in DC
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: or not. If you're in Ohio and it's close to
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Memorial Day, uh, Flag Day, fourth of July, Labor Day,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: New Year's Tuesday, you know, fireworks might be set off
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: in your neighborhood by anybody pretty much. So I don't
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: know how is it other places.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: The memes she and but she was a good sport
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: about it. She didn't get upset, she didn't cry harassment.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: She just said she thanked the internet. I mean it
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: did give her attention, So that little girl grew up.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Oh see, I know looks.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Like this one's great too. I won't play it. Just
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: look at it. We don't even sound. But it's barren
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: as a giant's anyway. So yeah, that's uh that that's
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: a kind of a crazy story. But I agree with Mike.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: It doesn't necessarily mean it was another attempt. I'm not
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: sure they're counting it that way. That's why there's an
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: investigation into like what it is. Did he have a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: psychotic break? Was there a motive that they got to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: do an investigation? So we'll find out if it's anything
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: other than what appears to be a psychotic break, then
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'll follow up with another story. But
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, we'll just leave it at that. It did.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: It was like a big thing that happened over the weekend,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: even though it was quickly pacified by our you know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: brave men of law enforcement or defense whatever you called
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: secret service guys, you know. So that's something that's worth
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: bringing up as well. And it was a Memorial Day
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: weekend too, which is kind of interesting anyway. So Nova
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: fan twenty one gave us a rumble rant. I think
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: that was the first thing we got, says for a dollar, lefties,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: but Jesus got arrested all the time, me for attempting
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: to take the life of a nation's leader. Lefties, Well no,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: but me don't care. Didn't ask again. We don't know
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: that this is politically motivated. It just happens to be
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: like where it is. So o See gives us a
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: dollar and says Baron Trump's nickname is the Trump Tower.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Richard Bierre gives us a five dollars super chow and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: says there are accounts of the mental health system being
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: abused by using it as a method of quasi incarceration
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: for people who were too outspoken and other behaviors that
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: weren't mental illness, and it being nigh impossible to ever
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: get out of the facility. Well, but I think we
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: should bring back asylums, but not so they can be abused.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: One fail safe it's like.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Right now, we just throw them in jail.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: And keep telling you fucking pig food.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: One fail safe that that can can work in a
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: in a situation like that, that was not given in
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: in you know, deep past. I guess like Civilizes when
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: he was when he was committed, he he did not
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: get any kind of due process, right, he didn't really
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: get any kind of hearing. A doctor just diagnosed him
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: and he was he was basically incarcerated, and they're doing
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: that now in Canada.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: But the listeners, I don't know.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: This is the guy who told everyone to wash their hands, yes.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: And and then they institutionalized him. There were some other
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: steps in between. They had to kind of persuade his
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: wife to go along with it, but essentially the institutionaled
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: him for it, and then he died from sepsis because
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: of an injury that he had from the beating that
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: he got in the process of incarcerating him in the institution.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: But any other type of medical diagnose, it used to
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: be actually standard. Any other type of medical diagnosis that
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: required anything major, like a surgery or a major life
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: change that was going to be expensive, your insurance company
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: would require you to get a second opinion from a
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: doctor that wasn't your doctor and in your doctor's little
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: circle of doctor friends in order to get approved for
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: that expensive change. And I don't know why they did
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: away with that, but I'm sure it probably cost money
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: to save that money. But in any case, it's something
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I would still do. If somebody came along and said, well,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: you need to have surgery. One of your legs is
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: shorter than the other, and I've been walking all my
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: life without a problem, I would go get a second opinion.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: If somebody wanted to do something major like that, you
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: should be able to do that with this instance as well.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: And you know, the second opinion should simply have to
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: come from somebody who has nothing to gain from saying yes,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: this person needs to be institutionalized. They're not going to
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: get paid for anything after the opinion, and that would
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: protect against a significant amount of abuse a third party
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: that is not necessarily invested in getting you institutionalized being
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: able to say, well, you know, I disagree with this doctor,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: or yeah, this this guy needs help. Let's see what
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: we can do for him. So that's what needs to happen,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: And unfortunately that's not the direction. It's not the direction
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Canadas appears to be going, and so hopefully the United
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: States goes a better route.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Canada has a final solution. Well, let us know what
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you guys think about this one in the comments. We're
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: gonna move on to the next story. This is kind
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: of a big one, so this could start a little
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: bit of a flame war in the comments in the chat.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: So Hassan Piker, the guy who basically coined US as machines, Well,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: he appears to be in a little bit of hot water.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: So the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign of Assets
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Control oh FAC issued administrative subpoenas requests for information to
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: leftist streamer Hassan Piker and Code Pink co founder Medea
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Benjamin in late May of twenty two, twenty six. These
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: relate to their participation in the Nuestra America Convoy, a
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: March twenty twenty six humanitarian aid trip to Cuba involving
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: activists supplies like medicine and solar panels, according to them,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: in coordination with Cuban entities. The probe examines whether the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: travelers and organizers violated US Cuba sanctions through financing logistics,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: hotel stays, possibly on the restricted slash, prohibited accommodations list,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: delivery of goods, or unauthorized contacts with human with Cuban
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: government personnel and entities. It is part of a broader
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: investigation involving around forty Americans and various pro Cuba activist networks.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Is when we say pro Cuba, we're some other government
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: of Cuba, not the people. Okay. The subpoenas seek financial records,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: communications and logistical details. No charges have been filed. This
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: is an information gathering state that may lead to civil
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: or criminal enforcement. Yes, there is ample legal precedent for this,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: so this is not like you know, they're not breaking
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the justice system to do this. O Fact routinely enforces
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the Cuban Assets Control regulations against US persons for unauthorized
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: travel related transactions, prohibited dealings with restricted Cuban entities like
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: military linked hotels, or support that benefits the regime. Humanitarian
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: aid is allowed under specific general licenses with strict conditions,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: but violations of record keeping, lodging rules or indirect support
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: can trigger penalties such as civil finds, which are our
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: strict liability. Criminal cases under IEE I ee PA are
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: possible for willful violations OFAC has a long history of
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: issuing similar subpoenas and penalties in Cuba. Case is often
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: targeting activists, travelers, and organizations. Piker and Benjamin have defended
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: the trip as authorized humanitarian aid and denied wrongdoing. The
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: investigation is ongoing. And here's a picture of Medeia Benjamin,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: and there's a picture of them to I know, she
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: looks like fucking Gollum in this one. Like you don't
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: have any friends, nobody likes you, And you might be
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: wondering what is Code Pink? And I think this is
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: important too. Code Pink is a feminist grassroots organization working
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: to end US warfare and imperialism, support peace and human
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: rights initiatives, and redirect resources into healthcare, education, green jobs,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and other life affirming programs except abortion. That they're totally
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: cool with that life affirming programs are investments and social
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: programs that uplift human dignity instead of tear it down.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: We believe universal healthcare must include the right to an
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: abortion access see like life affirming right to an abortion? Okay,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: access to education must not be determined by income bracket,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and housing is a human right. So the Code Pig
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: is basically a feminist communist organization.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: And uh here just calling them code pig code what
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: code pig code pig. Yes, they are well mostly Yeah,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: some of them have splotches like cows. But it's just this.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: I I have no, uh, not very much to say
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: about the actual article other than you know, let's see
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: see the process take its course. Hopefully due process will
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: prevail and if they have done things that they should
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: not have been doing, they will be caught. I'm I'm
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: a little disappointed that it's for something like this and
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: not for all, you know, no investigation into is he
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: actively trying to get the president killed with all of
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: the calls for his death that he's he's engaged in,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: but I guess nobody's willing to touch that rail. It
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: is actually just speech. It's not protective speech, protected speech.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: There was a guy who did a whole comedy routine
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: around explaining when Bush I think Bush Senior was in
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: office at the time, that it is not protected speech
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: to threaten to kill the president, except that he gave
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: several quotes of things to not say specifically because they
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: are illegal if you say them, and all of them,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: of course, were threats to kill the president at the time.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: But the thing about Code Pink is that they are like,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: you know, not just hypocrites in terms of in terms
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: of the abortion thing. They are opposed to capitalist endeavors.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons why they make the big
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: deal about green this and and and you know abortion
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: that they're they're opposed to. They're not life affirming, They're
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: they're opposed to Western life. That's why they're going into Cuba, right.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: They're not pink because they stand for women. They're pink
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: because they're commie pinkos. And they can go fuck themselves
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: up the ass sideways with a chainsaw. They they hate
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: anything that might make money for the people who are
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: doing it. And of course they have opposition to men
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: as well. So both both parties can go go fuck
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: themselves sideways up the ass with a chainsaw. That would
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: be fine with me. And and that's it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Speaking of al Capone, as I briefly did, this is
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: what you're getting.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Hassan Piker on.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Mister America deserved nine to eleven. Any country that is
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: an enemy of America is a friend of Hassan Piker.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Any terrorist organization that is an enemy of America is
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: a friend of Hassan Piker, and you brought him in
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: on the treason equivalent of tax evasion. I mean, well,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: to be fair, all that stuff is just shit, he said.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: It's all just free speech. Apart from I mean, in
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: some of his fundraising efforts he might have funded some
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: people he ought not to be funding. I don't know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know how any of that found out,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: but it's, if nothing else, is a testament to how
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: robust freedom of speech is in America. Like, you can
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: say anything here. You can say death to America and
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: you can mean it. You could burn the flag while
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: you do it. There's a lot of countries where that's
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: a death sentence, and why wouldn't it be you want
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: death to us, Okay, then we want death for you.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: Wallop, you're dead. That was easy.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: It's something of a knife edge to have a country
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: wherein people are allowed to defy that country to that degree.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: But two hundred and fifty years of prosperity and upward
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: mobility is a pretty good track record. Americans seem to
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: love their country more than any other people does, and
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: it's not because they're forced to love it. It's because they
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: are not having said that. I mean it is specifically
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Hassan Piker, who can say whatever the hell he wants,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: and not just because he's a celebrity with connections, but
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: because he's a lefty celebrity with connections. And by that
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: I mean he's an icophobe. I mean that shit's allowed
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: all over this place, even in Europe. Those people still
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: have complete freedom of speech, but their detractors do not,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: their targets do not.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: The wakes do not have freedom of speech.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: And yet I have to wonder if that's in your
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: future too, America, or if it's already happening right under
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: your noses. Is Hassan Piker gonna go to jail?
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Has Don Lemon gone to jail? I asked this question
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: a few months ago when it looked like Don Lemon
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: might be going to jail. I don't know what the
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: timeline is on when the cases sort of come up
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: in the courts, but it doesn't really matter. Don Lemon
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: is not going to jail. Justice Smollett, JUSI Smolier. He
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: hoaxed a nation, hoaxed the world blatantly and flagrantly, and
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: he only spent six days in jail of what was
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: only a one hundred and fifty day sentence for I mean, treason,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe not high treason, but surely that's treason what he did.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: It's fraud, but he defrauded an entire nation. And the
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: crime that you commit against an entire nation, I mean,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: is that not what treason is? That sounds like what
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: the reason is. And it's a nation that famously doesn't
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: like being fucked with. But yeah, six days in jail,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: six fucking Dale's in j Yes, right to jail right away.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: Also happened in Chicago.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: By the way, al Capone, are you seeing the themes?
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Are you seeing the tapestry of motifs? This isn't your
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: run of the mill podcast pro free Association ship.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: This is art. This is what you do.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: It may not be that they're going after Hassan, I mean,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: because Hassan's not the brightest ball. Let's be real, and
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: they're probably trying to get at Code Pink, and Hassan
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: is like collateral damage because Code Pink is a big
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: organization that probably needs to be looked into. And one
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: of the people that is a also a part of
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: this whole thing is a gentleman named Neville Roy Singham.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: He's a Chinese based billionaire known to be well basically
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: known as a Marxist donor linked to the story, a
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: major funder of the a number of network of a
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: number of a network of left wing activist groups, including
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Code Pink. His wife, Jody Evans, is co founder of
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Code Pink, the People's Forum, the Answer Coalition, and others
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: involved in this Nuestra America convoy to Cuba. So it's
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: not just Code Pink. There's like this guy that's you know,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: basically got. He's like one of the richest men in
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: the world, you know, the people, but not among the
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: rich people that Hassan thinks we should be eating. He's
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: one of the ones we don't want to eat. He's
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: one of the good rich billionaires. But anyway, and he
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars estimates around two
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy eight to two hundred and eighty five
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: million dollars since twenty seven into all these organizations, Code Ping,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: People's Forum, Answer Coalition, et cetera, through various nonprofits. He
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: lives in Shanghai, China, and has documented ties to pro
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: CCP causes and propaganda efforts. So Singham's funding is basically
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: part of this broader thread and that I think it's
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: it's like people going after the money, and they're looking
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: for opportunities to go after the money. So Hassan, yes,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: he deserves consequences for a number of things, like you said,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: you know, he basically said America deserved nine to eleven.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: And and he's often said, you know, we have to
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: basically use violence because they're using violence, like they're like
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: owning property is violence in his mind. But he's he's
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: kind of a he's he is definitionally a useful idiot
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: and a NEPO baby doesn't know how how the other
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: side actually lives, really wishes he was poor at least
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: like they could relate, but he's not. And uh yeah,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: he's also Jakes Nephews, so you know, kind of a German.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: But so yeah, as I was saying, Hassan Piker is
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: not going to jail, He's not even going to be punished.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Whatever they might be fines. That's basically like the there
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: might be fines, that's it.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Whatever he did, he's going to get away with it.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: He's going to act like he's being oppressed. By America,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: despite having never been convicted by America, and he's going
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: to carry on championing the downfall of America, and nothing
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: will ever happens.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: That's what happens in this world.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: What you think we live in some kind of rainbow
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: fairy land where there's a wide variety of pills.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: No, it's just black pills, black pills all the way down.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: This world is like a fucking Tim Burton animation as
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: far as I can see, and.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: You know it.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Whether things might get better, oh but things might get better.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Your child, you're a Paul sweet So I'm a child,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: and I hate you. I resent your happiness, and I
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: hope you suffer. Yes, this is doctor's advice. I identify
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: as a doctor.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: There we go. You know, even if he were to
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: go to jail, it's not going to happen this week
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: or next week or probably this year. That's not a
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: new thing, even clear back in the dark ages of
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: the nineteenth century or twentieth century, sorry, nineteen seventies, when
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: I was a kid and one of my family members
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: was a victim of a violent crime. In order to
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: just get to the part where they have the hearing
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: on whether the accused perpetrator actually committed the crime or not,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: they had to get through hearing after hearing over think
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: other other things to do with the case, including what
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: evidence was going to be allowed and all kinds of stuff.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: The kid's defense lawyer tried to get everything about the
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: case thrown out of court before the hearing, and it
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: took forever to get to the actual case, and then
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: it took forever to get through it, and then then
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: you know, it took forever to get like he the
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: kid went to jail, but it took forever to get
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: the rest of everything else done that the state is
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: supposed to be doing for the crime victim. So that
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: was just with a purse snatching. That was That was
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: literally just a purse snatching on the street and wouldn't
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: have been that big of a deal except it involved
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: a social Security check, which made it a big amount
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: of money in a bigger crime. Yeah, with something this big,
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: if he has even a halfway decent lawyer, everything that
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: guy can argue about, he's going to argue about. If
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: for no other reason, then it'll delay anything getting done
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: to either of these people as long as humanly possible.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: So don't expect to see this go fast forward unless
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: somebody really has has it in for him.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: And also, by the way, just just by coincidence, given
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: a previous story with the mental health thing. In some places,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: if you visit a mental or a health facility like
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: a hospital, and you're having a mental crisis and they
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: want to involuntarily commit you, they have a paperwork they
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: have to fill out that is often on a pink
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: piece of paper, and they call it getting pink sheeted.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: But I've also heard it referred to as code pink.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: It's not that way everywhere. Other places might use other colors. Right,
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: But I happen to have been present when one of
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: those happened. Wasn't to me.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: That that pink is a co winky dink? All right, well,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: let us know what you guys think about this one
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: of the comments. Let me look at your super chats
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: and stuff, and we'll move on to the next story.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: And if there's time, I have a bonus story if
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: we can get through the last one quickly enough. So
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Meredith g gives us five dollars. Thank you, Meredith through superchow
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: and says HBr News number five five four. I agree
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: with Hannah that if we are going to bring back institutionalization,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: there need to be a second opinion from a fully
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: independent third and we need to ensure that there is
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: a protection of a person's due process.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Well, absolutely for sure, thank you for that. And then
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I got a rumble rant from Nova fan twenty one
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: for a dollar and he says, I believe the process
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: is called denaturalizing communists. And for anyone saying I'm just
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: as bad as them telling me the last time the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: right got someone on the left taken down, just like
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, I don't know. I don't think anyone would disagree,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: but I've heard that kind of insanity, you know. Yeah,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: there's no both sides. There are people trying to kill
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: us and there are people who are trying not to
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: get killed. So but let us know what you guys
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: think about this one in the comments. It's time for
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: us to move on to the next story, all right.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: So there is a company called Bolt and their CEO,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Ryan Breslo, recently revealed that part of a major turnaround
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: at his fintech company, he eliminated the entire human resources
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: department during workforce cuts of roughly thirty percent earlier in
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, speaking at Fortune's Workplace Innovation Summit, so
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: he's basically presenting this as an idea. On May nineteenth,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: the thirty one year old founder and returning CEO stated, quote,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: we had an HR team, and that HR team was
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: creating problems that didn't exist. Those problems disappeared when I
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: let them go. End quote. Reres, though framed the move
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: as necessary to shift bolt from peacetime bureaucracy back to
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: gritty wartime startup mode is how he phrased it. After
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: the company's valuation plummeted from a peak of around eleven
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: billion dollars to roughly three hundred million dollars. He argued
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: that traditional HR fostered entitlement and unnecessary issues, and the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: company has since replaced the full department with a small
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: people operations team, so there's not like no HR. They
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: just made something new that's a lot smaller, focused on training,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: efficiency and employees support rather than what he sees as
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: fluff and problem creation. The comments have gone viral, sparking debate.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Supporters praised the elimination of perceived bureaucracy and complain culture,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: while critics warn it could expose the company to compliance risks,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: unresolved workplace issues, or legal liabilities. Bolt now operates with
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: a significantly leaner headcount of around one hundred employees. And
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: he did also say something on X about this too
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: that I thought was kind of great and I'm just
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: gonna like bring this up really quick. On X he said,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I can confirm we did get rid of our HR team.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Anyone who loves creating problems versus solving them has no
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: place as at a startup. Bolt is now operating once
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: again as a startup and at lightning speed. Thank you
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Fortune for having me as your keynote speaker.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: So, despite what I said earlier about it being nothing
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: but black pills, I was exaggerating slightly because it's something
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: of at least a chuckle gray pill that people are
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: finally allowed to ask the question why do we need
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: HR departments? Yes, because it is a pretty recent phenomenon,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: you might ask what was it? What was life like
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: in the in the long long ago before HR departments existed.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Of course, feminists will tell you it.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Was a.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Jungle of unfettered misogyny. Men would just slap women's asses
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: every time they passed by, and they would squeeze their
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: tits and they'd go nice tits, Betsy, and like there
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: was nothing anyone could do to stop it. Woe as
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: women and so forth. But yeah, no, if if an
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: inmployee was having a personal problem with a co worker,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: what did they do? They reported it to their manager,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: their line manager or whatever. Part of a manager's job
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: is to manage employees to handle and mitigate disputes between
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: co workers.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: And they were.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Fine with it, like that's what they signed up for
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: as a manager, Like that's the job. So it's not
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: as though managers were going, we need to invent a
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: department just to deal with personal disputes between co workers.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Was there was never a There was never a that thing.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: What happened was this thing called feminism. The government told
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: every operating company, Hey, you get a dog biscuit every
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: time you hire women into your company. You don't want
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: the dog biscuit. That dog over there, get the dog
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: biscuit every thirty seconds.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: You don't want any dog biscuits.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't know what what what what you'll.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: Call dog biscuits?
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Biscuits?
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: You don't call them dog cookies, no.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: No, dog cookies. No, we call them dog biscuits or
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: dog treats.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, treats, that sort of thing. I just like it too.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: I like saying dog biscuit. It rolls off the tongue.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: It's like it's like a band name. But yeah, My
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: point is when I say the government forces companies to
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: hire women, that's what I mean. It's training, conditional training.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: If you if you want to force a dog to
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: behave in a certain way, the force that you apply
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: is conditional training. And it's the same with anything else.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: So basically, companies have to hire women. Now for the
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: dog biscuit and the companies, I sat there thinking, what
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: the fuck are we going to do with all these
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: women that we have to hire. I mean, they are
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: mostly blue headed fem celle goons who are only here
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: to get spiteful mutant revenge on men.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: They've never worked for.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: A living before, and they they don't know what the
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: fact they're doing. Well, what do women like? They don't
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: like things like men like things. We've established that even
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: baby girls stare at faces for longer, baby boys stare
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: at clock faces for longer. All that, well, the problem
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: is our company, right produces things. That's kind of That's
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: what a company does for the most part, So it's
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: difficult to know what to do with women whose only
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: passion in life is people like the gossipy minutia of
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: people's personal lives. Oh shit, the bed bro I just
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: had a great idea, said the line manager. We could
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: put the women in charge of mitigating personal disputes between
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: co workers.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: They're gonna love that shit.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: It's gonna feel like they're you know, mothers mitigating personal
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: disputes between her children, except she's doing it with you know,
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: schlubs in a fucking warehouse, and it's taking up so
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: much of her time that she never has those children
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: in the first place. Could that be occupational hazard? Nah,
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I don't worry about it. Whatever, we need to employ
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: these women. They suck at running the machines. They can't
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: do accounting because math is hard, and they're not good
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: in sales because, like I said, they are for the
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: most part, resentful feminist goblins who are only here out
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: of spite. But look, the only thing these women are
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: good at is taking a probing interest in other people's
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: personal lives. So let's just let's just make that a
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: department and just let them do that all day with
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: respect sir, I think that might be the most retarded
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: thing that has ever fallen from a mammal's face. What
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: you've said there is, well, well, what do you propose
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: we do with all these useless women whom we have
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: to employ for the sake of the dog biscuit?
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: I think we could carry on without the dog biscuits
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: and see what happens.
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: Preposterous. No, no, no, We're going.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: To pay women to be social butterflies within our company.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: We're going to incentivize them to find drama and and
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: then juggle that drama as must as possible to try
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: and justify their existence. And we will call it human resources,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: as though that's some kind of genetic mutation factory. I mean,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: everything is human resources? Is the nonsensical marriage of words? Yes, yes,
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: I agree, And or although I only just heard the
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: most retarded thing ever to fall from a mammal's face,
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: not a matter of seconds later, that world record was
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: summarily shattered by the thing you just said that as maybe,
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: but we have to do it or people will call
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: us names like sexist and racist, and what's more, we
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: won't get our dog biscuits.
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: So I mean, heaven and forth end. Let us proceed.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: Let us dive headfirst into the thousand years of darkness
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: and hope that the computer will eventually figure out how
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: fucking retarded this is, and will I stop doing it
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: because it's retarded.
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: A boy can dream, but yeah, a boy can.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: Conversely dream of a world where the AI is controlled
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: by women, feminist women, hr women and and and the
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: things such women want.
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: Imagine that.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Just imagine what the world might look like if that
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: was already So, I mean, Heaven's Tabetsy, No, Heaven's.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: To Betsy's tips. Now, ah, that was a call back.
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: You see that.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: This is this is what I'm talking about. This isn't
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: some penny side show, ladies and gentlemen. This is our
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: This is what you came for, and this is what
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: I was stop.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: Doing there you go. I mean before it was called
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: a human resources department. There, there did exist a thing.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: And it started in in Dayton, Ohio, where where I live.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: There was a strike on the the National Cash Register Company,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: which was was based in Dayton, Ohio, this big strike,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: and the norm up to that point would be to
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: hire strike breakers and they'd go in and and uh,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: you know, beat people up and try to stop them from, uh,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: basically interrupting business and so on. But instead of doing that,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: the Dayton cash Register Company created the first formal personnel
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: department in the US. And the personnel department was not
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: anything to do with what color the employees were, whether
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: they were male or female, or any of that bullshit.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: There wasn't a focus on things like sexual harassment or
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: any type of harassment. It was to handle things like
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: worker disputes between workers and management. It was supposed to
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: be sort of incentive to not unionize and continue striking
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: and things like that. It was supposed to be impartial
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: and professional, and it was supposed to handle pretty much
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: the things that were just described in the story, right,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: training policy changes, things like that employee concerns. When it
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: became a thing that employers started incentivizing people to come
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: to their company by offering them insurance, health insurance and
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, that personnel department did that as well.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: And payroll in most companies is part of the personnel department,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: and it really didn't become human resources until later. Other
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: companies started calling it that. Mainly as you know, companies
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: started getting bigger and bigger and you know, more dispersed
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: so that you know, you might have one corporate headquarter building,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: one CORP corporate headquarters building, and maybe a thousand stores
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: around the country or a thousand outlet around the country,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: whatever the business does. But in the meantime, none of
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: that was focused on women, or isms or harassment disputes
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: and things like that until the seventies. In nineteen seventy four,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: there was a lawsuit Barnes versus Train that was I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: think the first it's I think it's commonly viewed as
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: the first sexual harassment case in the US, and all
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: of a sudden things changed. Businesses had to defend against
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: the idea that they might be liable if while on
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: the job, a manager or a colleague of a woman
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: does something discriminatory or sexually and instead of that person
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: being liable and the company not being liable, now the
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: company is liable. And all of a sudden, human resources
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: became the department responsible for keeping the employer for getting
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: sued from getting sued. And that's that's why we ended
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: up with the situation where HR ended up becoming the
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: drama center of every company. They now are tasked with
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: thinking of every possible reason why someone might sue the company,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: and protecting the company from every possible appearance of wrongdoing
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: or appearance of not nice doing. Doesn't even have to
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: be wrong, just has to not be nice to the
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: wrong person. Of course, if you're if you're a white guy,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: they're not gonna do anything for you. You're fucked. But
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: in the meantime, now they've gotten so inundated with feminism
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: because you cannot get the degree that you need to
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: be qualified to work at most corporate HR departments unless
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: you get inundated with intersectional feminism. Well, the moment you
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: get inundated with intersectional if you get infected with it,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: if it worms its way into your brain and you
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: start believing that shit, the next thing is no conversation
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: of any kind anywhere, for any reason ever can happen
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: that doesn't pose a risk of a lawsuit to the employer,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: And when taken to extremes, it actually can destroy company communications.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: It can make it impossible to get anything done. And
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: the moment there's an actual problem that needs to be hand,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: everyone is essentially crippled because the HR department can't take
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: any action. But they can't not take any action, and
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: the main thing that they will do is find the
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: person who was actually victimized, treat that person as the
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: virus causing the problem in the system, and respond to
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: it in exactly the same way that an immune system
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: responds to a virus, and that is to get you
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: the hell out of there. They will not pass go,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: they will not give you two hundred dollars, and they
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: will not satisfy your complaint. So I'm glad this guy
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: got rid of most of HR, and it looks like
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: he has tried to return it to what the department
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: originally was intended to do when the idea was created.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: We'll see how long it lasts. Unfortunately, everywhere else in
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: the world does still have HR departments, and there still
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: exists plenty of lawyers that are going to try to
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: take advantage by finding somebody to sue his company. Personally,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: I think the legal department should handle that and not HR,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: but it'll be interesting to see how that pans out.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: All right, and let's see we're good on time. I'll
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: give you the last story. So this is kind of
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: a bonus one. You guys might not be prepared to
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: react to it. But let's read some super thingies and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: then we'll do it. So Oice gave us five dollars
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: in the old rumble rants. Thank you, Oiz and says
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: hr is true, meaning is handmade and roll. These women
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: want to be mistresses of high status men. Right, well
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: it you know, I think I think that that uh,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: you know that paper we talked about a while back
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: called Helen Andrews wrote an article for I think it
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: was Compact magazine. I might be forgetting because it's been
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: a while. That was called the Great Feminization. I think
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: that it's been making the rounds. It's actually like ruffled
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of feathers too. Like Couilette put out a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: video trying to, you know, basically address it, but they
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: were like, can we like maybe not generalize too much.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: It's a little risky. I don't think it's women's fault,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I think it's an idy logical problem and
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: all that. But nobody was having it like they were like, no,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: when you get to a critical mass of women that
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: it's there's like a feminine approach to problem solving, but
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: it's also an approach to problem finding and that can
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: lead to problem creating, which is what this guy was
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: trying to address. So kudos to this guy for doing that,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: all right. So, uh so, I want to share one
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: last story with you guys, and it's about OnlyFans. So so,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: a hacker known as Euphoric Underscore reply underscore five seven
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: two seven is now selling a claimed database of three
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty million OnlyFans linked user records on a
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: cybercrime forum for about seventy six thousand dollars in bitcoin.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: The data set reportedly includes usernames, emails, phone numbers for
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: some account creation dates, followers, slash subscriber metrics, linked social profiles,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: and partial payment card details. However, this is not according
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: to OnlyFans themselves, this is not a direct hack of
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: OnlyFans systems. The seller admits to journalists that the data
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: was compiled by combining older breaches, so it is a
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: breach such as from Twitter, x, Instagram and other websites
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: with publicly visible OnlyFans profile information. OnlyFans has denied any
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: breach occurred, and cybersecurity reports describe it as a large
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: scale data mashup rather than a fresh internal compromise. Story
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: broke yesterday and has sparked widespread online concern about potential
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: fishing and impersonation risks. So if you guys have like
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: OnlyFans accounts, then be careful of fishing. But hopefully you don't.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: So anyway, Uh, yeah, I just thought I would share that.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: I of you guys want to give any thoughts on.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: This or not, but there's probably already plenty of thoughts involved.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: Anyway that happens, I wonder if anybody's actually going to
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: buy that or if most OnlyFans hose.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: Or seventy six is not that much considering how much
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: some people spend on OnlyFans.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's just again, there's there's so many
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: How would you find the one person? You'd really have
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: to You'd have to have something that would search through
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: it for you, because it would be pain in the
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: asteseris unless it's alphabetized or something and your your particular
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: OnlyFans thought, do they use their real names on there?
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: I don't like, there's not really much that I've seen
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: or heard about it that.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: That gives you a lot of content is also out
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: there too.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's all the stories that I've seen about this.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: They they talk about what was released and how upset
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: people are about it, but they don't say anything about
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: what rules people follow, or whether you know they actually
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: got people's real names or any of that. But I
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: just are people that that interested in most only fans
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: thoughts that they're going to pay to get their phone numbers,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: because the average Only fans income is is far less
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: than what you would earn from it. Yeah, they don't
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: make that much as a retail sales clerk, like you
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: could make more money ringing up groceries at Walmart, Richard.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: It's customers and its users. It's customers and its account
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: it's yes, custom and girls.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: People might pay to get the customer information because those
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: guys will pay for nude photos, so you know, you
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: could market leads to them. I don't even know if
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: you could blackmail people anymore for this. After the Ashley
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: Madison hack that that released all the cheaters phone numbers
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: and information. It's kind of anti climactic. No pun intended,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: pun intended to see. You know, everybody getting excited because
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: porn customers' names might be out there. Considering the fact
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: that most people will readily admit to watching or reading
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: or or buying porn. Usually people look at it on
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: free sites. But yeah, in any case, I don't know this.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: This is like the most substantial nothing burger that's happened
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: in a while. It's it's it's an it's as much
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: not a nothing burger as it is a nothing burger.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: But I just I can't get ours to get I'm
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: laughing at it, but I can't get ours to get
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: too excited about it, considering.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. That's why I basically have it as
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: a bonus story. Again, it just happened yesterday, so we
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: don't know what you know, if there's anything else going
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: on there, or what the cause is.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: But I thought I was.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Okay that dimes to dollars and a huge number of
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: those email addresses are so I have signed up for
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: my local grocery stores. You're basically taking a survey when
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: you shop. They track your purchases, and they send you
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: coupons and you get so many dollars off a gallon
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: of gas, and then that helps them decide what to
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: keep on their shelves, so they sell more of the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: stuff that you want to buy. But the email address
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: I gave them, that's not my regular email address. It's
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: an email address that I keep specifically just for things
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: like that, and I don't do anything else with it.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: I don't get any email from it that I ever read,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: like it's literally my spam collector. And anything I'm going
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: to sign up for online that I don't want any
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: notifications from or don't want any information shared with and
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, I use that email address. And if
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: that email address ever goes bad something you know, it
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: gets hacked or some shit like that, I will switch
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: to another email address for the same purpose. Because email
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: addresses are disposable, you really don't need to have just one.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: You can have twenty of them for different purposes and
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: then discard them at will stop using them because you
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: want to use a different email address for things now.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: And I will bet you that most of the email
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: addresses that they got are like that. Because while I
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: have never really had an interest in OnlyFans, if I
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: was going to sign up for something like that, that's
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: what I would do. I would use a disposable email address,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: not my email address, And that way, if something happened,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: if I got hacked because of that site, the only
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: thing that would get hacked would be a piece of trash.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know I just don't see a lot of
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: value in getting that information.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that. All right, Well, that's all the stories.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna move on now to the Patron Show.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: And we did it. We're still early. That's cool. We
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: did like four things. So we're gonna go now into
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: the Patron Show to talk about this article from the
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: Mary Sue and we're gonna talk a little bit about
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: movies that don't have any women in them and why
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: this is upsetting them. I want to see what their
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: perspective is, because remember they're all about the representation and
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: the and all that and diversity. So let's let's see
• 1:16:42
