- 0:36Speaker 2: Word, I shall be a coast that sounds good? It
- 0:43Speaker 2: is east or west? That question can be deadly here

- 0:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Uh.
- 0:49Speaker 1: For those of you guys who are just now joining us,
- 0:51Speaker 1: please hit that like button. It really helps us potentially
- 0:54Speaker 1: reach more people as maybe we can also break into
- 0:59Speaker 1: the mainstream. I mean I want to go full to mainstream.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I like being a little bit, you know, like under
- 1:03Speaker 1: the radar, but maybe like the word will get out
- 1:06Speaker 1: and become more mainstream. But anyway, we have a lot
- 1:11Speaker 1: to get to, so please continue the conversations both in
- 1:14Speaker 1: the chat as well as the comments section after the
- 1:16Speaker 1: show has finished. On this week's show, we're gonna be
- 1:19Speaker 1: talking about this appearance that our own Terrence Pop friend
- 1:24Speaker 1: of the channel fordonculous dot com. He did an appearance
- 1:27Speaker 1: on a Fox News segment, and I think it's worth highlighting.
- 1:31Speaker 1: He sent it to me, he texted it at me,
- 1:35Speaker 1: and he texted it to Paul Elim as well, and
- 1:37Speaker 1: so like there's like movements going on within the movement,
- 1:42Speaker 1: which is a good thing as long as it's not
- 1:44Speaker 1: a bowel movement. But yeah, he was recently on Fox
- 1:47Speaker 1: News and they also just finished holding I think they
- 1:51Speaker 1: just finished it the Intactivist conference that was hosted and
- 1:54Speaker 1: presented by Eric Klopper. The rock turns into the clay
- 1:59Speaker 1: and more so, stick around. It's going to be a
- 2:01Speaker 1: good time. AMBI should have join us afterwards for the
- 2:04Speaker 1: Patron only show. So we didn't finish the Times article
- 2:09Speaker 1: where Lauren Southern says that she helped create the Manisphere
- 2:12Speaker 1: and it destroyed her. So I thought we would like
- 2:14Speaker 1: read through more of it from well, we'll just read
- 2:18Speaker 1: through more of the article and see what else the
- 2:20Speaker 1: Times has to say and even what Lauren Southern has
- 2:24Speaker 1: to say. So if you guys want to join.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Us again, what how old is she is?
- 2:31Speaker 1: Yeah, she's got to be get pushing on to thirty. Now,
- 2:33Speaker 1: when she got started, she was nineteen years old, so
- 2:37Speaker 1: she's twenty nine ish, she's like twenty nine, yeah, twenty
- 2:42Speaker 1: nine to thirty because I met her in twenty fifteen.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I think she was nineteen back then.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Just wondering because the Minisphere has been around for quite
- 2:50Speaker 2: a bit longer than that.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Well yeah, well, well we'll get into We'll get into
- 2:56Speaker 1: that in the Patron show. That's why the thumbnail is
- 3:01Speaker 1: that we're basically reading through this Times article and I
- 3:05Speaker 1: think we left off like right about here, so that's

- 4:19Speaker 1: So with all that out of the way, let us
- 4:21Speaker 1: now get into today's stories. So, retired US Army First
- 4:28Speaker 1: Sergeant Terrence pop, a combat veteran and Purpleheart recipient, appeared
- 4:33Speaker 1: on Fox News Detroit on April thirteenth, twenty twenty six.
- 4:37Speaker 1: So it's like the local news segment to discuss his
- 4:40Speaker 1: work helping veterans struggling with mental health and suicide suicidal
- 4:46Speaker 1: ideation basically through his YouTube comedy channel Verdonculous, which is
- 4:51Speaker 1: the Ridonculous Regiment and associated nonprofit pop uses blunt, no
- 4:55Speaker 1: holds barred humor, and Men Helping Men messaging to reach
- 4:59Speaker 1: veterans who feel isolated and hopeless. Not just veterans, also
- 5:03Speaker 1: men who have lost access to their children, who were
- 5:06Speaker 1: wrecked in divorces, anything a man can relate to on
- 5:10Speaker 1: you know, people who worked in other sort of extreme
- 5:13Speaker 1: environments other than a military, like first responders, police, you know,
- 5:18Speaker 1: people who drive whatever, firefighters, et cetera. But anyway, teaching
- 5:24Speaker 1: to reach those people who feel isolated and hopeless, encouraging
- 5:27Speaker 1: them to stay in the fight and live out of spite.
- 5:30Speaker 1: The segment highlighted how Pop turned his own post service
- 5:33Speaker 1: struggles into a platform that combines dark comedy with veterans support,
- 5:37Speaker 1: aiming to combat the high mail and veterans suicide rates
- 5:40Speaker 1: through relatability and tough love rather than traditional therapy approaches.
- 5:45Speaker 1: And I have the segment up here. I'm not going
- 5:47Speaker 1: to play the whole thing. This is about three minutes long,
- 5:50Speaker 1: but I thought we would look at one highlight that
- 5:53Speaker 1: happened in this So let me see if you guys
- 5:56Speaker 1: can hear this? Okay, wait, there is no sound. Why
- 5:59Speaker 1: is there no sound for you? Can you guys hear
- 6:02Speaker 1: that on the as local as.
- 6:05Speaker 4: You are local?
- 6:07Speaker 5: According to a twenty twenty three report by the Department
- 6:10Speaker 5: of Veterans Affairs, Michigan alone reported and.
- 6:12Speaker 6: I got up to roughly two hundred and five saves
- 6:17Speaker 6: in twenty thirteen. And I was at a party for
- 6:20Speaker 6: a friend of mine and they had a Catholic deacon
- 6:23Speaker 6: there who was also a counselor, and he was saying, yeah,
- 6:25Speaker 6: eight years he's was doing it, twenty people.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Saved from suicide.
- 6:30Speaker 6: And I said, well, I'm up to two twenty five.
- 6:34Speaker 6: And it was at that moment I realized that I
- 6:37Speaker 6: was no longer dealing with the average I was basically
- 6:43Speaker 6: graduated up to spiritual warfare.
- 6:46Speaker 4: And this is the ultimate game of death.
- 6:48Speaker 6: I mean, when you're trying to talk people back from
- 6:51Speaker 6: the edge, it's exceedingly difficult.
- 6:54Speaker 4: And I mean, in thirty three years.
- 6:56Speaker 6: In the army, I watched the United States government burn
- 6:59Speaker 6: through billions trying to stop this. They hired an army
- 7:02Speaker 6: of shrinks and to no effect. And I'm just one
- 7:07Speaker 6: guy with three volunteers operating on less than a shoe
- 7:10Speaker 6: string budget, and I'm outperforming pound four pound any organization
- 7:15Speaker 6: or billion dollar organization that the US government has at
- 7:18Speaker 6: this time.
- 7:19Speaker 5: And it's all through comedy and terrence.
- 7:21Speaker 4: In my lap.
- 7:22Speaker 5: Here are just hundreds of emails that you printed out
- 7:26Speaker 5: the lines that say you saved my life. And I've
- 7:29Speaker 5: been reading through some of these and it's truly incredible.
- 7:32Speaker 5: These people are going through such a rough time and
- 7:34Speaker 5: through your help and through laughter, you saved them. How
- 7:38Speaker 5: does that make you feel?
- 7:40Speaker 4: It makes you mine to saved the next one?
- 7:42Speaker 6: Yeah, there's five hundred and ninety two live saves in
- 7:46Speaker 6: Standard two thousand and eight. We're reading in our next
- 7:51Speaker 6: one this no, I mean this Thursday, and that'll put
- 7:56Speaker 6: us at five ninety three. That's six short of six hundred,
- 8:01Speaker 6: which is a reinforced battalion of men.
- 8:04Speaker 5: Where can people find your videos?
- 8:05Speaker 4: I'll readark Thiss dot com.
- 8:07Speaker 6: I'm on YouTube, Rumble, I'm on virtually every video platform
- 8:12Speaker 6: out there, you know.
- 8:15Speaker 4: And it's one thing for me to tell you the number. Yeah,
- 8:17Speaker 4: because every time I.
- 8:18Speaker 6: Save somebody, I put a dog tag in the bag. Now,
- 8:22Speaker 6: typically dog tags represent death. You're given two when you
- 8:26Speaker 6: come in, one on the long chain, one on a
- 8:28Speaker 6: short chain. When you get whacked, the one in the
- 8:31Speaker 6: short chain goes through the process for grades, registration and
- 8:35Speaker 6: mortuary affairs.
- 8:36Speaker 4: But I flip the script because.
- 8:39Speaker 6: When you hear the number five ninety, that's just a
- 8:45Speaker 6: portion of them right there. I could dump the whole
- 8:46Speaker 6: thing out, but it would cause pandemonium.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Beautiful work that you were doing, and please keep it
- 8:51Speaker 5: up and everybody that's watching. If you need help, of course,
- 8:55Speaker 5: the help is always available for you, and your life
- 8:58Speaker 5: certainly matters, all right.
- 9:00Speaker 1: So I wanted to like highlight this. Terrence Pop sent
- 9:04Speaker 1: me the link to this, He texted it to me,
- 9:08Speaker 1: and he is going to be going to New Jersey,
- 9:12Speaker 1: I believe next week or so to basically be a
- 9:17Speaker 1: part of Pearl Davis's documentary entitled What's in It For Men?
- 9:22Speaker 1: She's got it funded, he's gonna be in it, and
- 9:25Speaker 1: he's also reached out to us. I think I told
- 9:27Speaker 1: you guys about it already. I haven't heard word about
- 9:30Speaker 1: like when how he's they're gonna do it in terms
- 9:32Speaker 1: of like moving people around, But the word is getting
- 9:35Speaker 1: out and Terrence Pop getting on Fox News is even
- 9:39Speaker 1: if it's a local segment, even if it's only like
- 9:41Speaker 1: five minutes, it's a huge deal. So I just wanted
- 9:43Speaker 1: to share that with you guys. I put a link
- 9:46Speaker 1: to this in the description. You go to the Patreon
- 9:49Speaker 1: and you can look at this article yourself, and if
- 9:51Speaker 1: you get a chance, send Pop an email at radonculous
- 9:57Speaker 1: dot com. But anyway, I'll give the floor to you, guys,
- 10:00Speaker 1: be honest, say anything about it.
- 10:01Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I have nothing to add that Pop himself
- 10:05Speaker 7: could not add by himself. Should you go ahead and subscribe?
- 10:11Speaker 7: Consider this an unsponsored ad for our boy Pop. He's awesome.
- 10:16Speaker 7: He's been in this game for as long as we have,
- 10:20Speaker 7: and he takes it. He takes it sincerely without taking
- 10:24Speaker 7: it too seriously. You might like, you might not get
- 10:29Speaker 7: that impression from seeing him in a serious context like
- 10:33Speaker 7: Fox News, because he's generally polite when he's a visitor
- 10:37Speaker 7: in someone else's house. He's he's been a part of
- 10:41Speaker 7: the of the r CMI since it's inception twelve years ago,
- 10:48Speaker 7: and he's always been way more polite than he is
- 10:54Speaker 7: in his own content. So yeah, check him out when
- 11:00Speaker 7: you're a visitor in his house. The ridiculous house. That's
- 11:04Speaker 7: when he comes into his own and I can relate,
- 11:08Speaker 7: you know what I mean. I'm a high energy powerhouse
- 11:12Speaker 7: in my own content, despite me being a quietly methodical individual. Irl.
- 11:21Speaker 7: To put it charitably, this is the magic of editing, folks.
- 11:26Speaker 7: You can manufacture extroversy from the raw ingredients of introversity.
- 11:33Speaker 7: Shout out to Blake as well. By the way, Pop's
- 11:37Speaker 7: partner in crime, who I believe is the one who
- 11:40Speaker 7: does the editing for the most part, and he's hilarious
- 11:43Speaker 7: as well. That they're very very much a double act,
- 11:48Speaker 7: and they are legends people leg ends, and I hope
- 11:54Speaker 7: they get some sunshine from their fox bump. They deserve it.
- 12:00Speaker 7: Let's fucking go. Maybe one day, Honey Badger Radio could
- 12:04Speaker 7: get some.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Can anyone in the legacy media maybe give us a segment,
- 12:11Speaker 3: even if it's a hit piece like something Ain't all
- 12:15Speaker 3: right whatever, Let's get back to the grind folks.
- 12:21Speaker 2: It is awesome what he does, and it's there's there's
- 12:24Speaker 2: a very solid reason why it's effective, and that is
- 12:28Speaker 2: because he is addressing what's going on with those men.
- 12:31Speaker 2: He's addressing what's what's happening in their lives in what's
- 12:35Speaker 2: happening in their heads, and he's able to because he's
- 12:39Speaker 2: been through it, and he's not he's not using some
- 12:45Speaker 2: field of psychology that that runs on feminist ideology, because
- 12:50Speaker 2: it's been all messed up with the insertion of woke
- 12:54Speaker 2: ideology into its curriculum, and he's he's dealing with reality
- 13:01Speaker 2: and their reality, and not a bunch of shit women
- 13:06Speaker 2: made up about them, And that makes all the difference
- 13:10Speaker 2: in the world. It's the reason why he's able to help,
- 13:14Speaker 2: and a lot of organized efforts are not because they
- 13:19Speaker 2: do still have to rely on feminist guidelines, which those
- 13:27Speaker 2: The effects of feminism on academia is it's a lot
- 13:32Speaker 2: like that that weed. I can't think of it as
- 13:36Speaker 2: like kuzo or something like that, but it grows forever
- 13:42Speaker 2: and it's damn near impossible to get rid of once
- 13:45Speaker 2: it starts taking over your yard or any given area,
- 13:50Speaker 2: and it's like that. Feminism is like that, and you
- 13:53Speaker 2: get it into your your area of study and your
- 13:57Speaker 2: area of practice, and all of a sudden, you can't
- 14:02Speaker 2: do anything without encountering it. You can't move without encountering it,
- 14:06Speaker 2: and you can't get rid of it. So you become
- 14:11Speaker 2: pretty much immobilized in that field becomes fairly useless, and
- 14:17Speaker 2: you need men like Terrence Pop to deal with the
- 14:23Speaker 2: fallout because those fields they're not going to recover tomorrow.
- 14:28Speaker 2: They're not going to recover next week. It's going to
- 14:31Speaker 2: take decades. So guys that are inspired by what he's
- 14:38Speaker 2: doing talk to him, find out how he does it,
- 14:42Speaker 2: find out if it's something you can do, because you
- 14:47Speaker 2: may be the only people who can. And it does,
- 14:51Speaker 2: for the most part, really have to be men because
- 14:55Speaker 2: most of the time women aren't going to fully understand,
- 15:00Speaker 2: and even if they do, they're not going to take
- 15:03Speaker 2: it like a man. They're going to have a rough
- 15:06Speaker 2: time dealing with every moment of pain that a guy
- 15:10Speaker 2: goes through where his criticism of the person who hurt him,
- 15:14Speaker 2: the female person who hurt him, is harsh and maybe
- 15:20Speaker 2: sounds cruel. Richard Bierre named it it's kudzu. Kudzu is
- 15:26Speaker 2: the weed. But a lot of times women cannot handle
- 15:32Speaker 2: that and they start using language like misogyny and crap
- 15:37Speaker 2: instead of trying to help the person. So it really
- 15:40Speaker 2: does have to be mostly men. And you know, like
- 15:45Speaker 2: I said, if you feel like it's something that you
- 15:49Speaker 2: could get involved in. Talk to him because I'm sure
- 15:52Speaker 2: that he could use more partners in this endeavor.
- 16:00Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Hannah. Yeah, I mean he's doing
- 16:03Speaker 1: great work. But so you know, anytime anybody in the
- 16:07Speaker 1: space is doing something, I want to shine a light
- 16:10Speaker 1: on it. So yeah, you go, Terrence, this is good news.
- 16:14Speaker 1: This is a big deal to me because once you're like,
- 16:17Speaker 1: you know, even if it's a small spot like it's,
- 16:20Speaker 1: he's probably gonna see some growth as a result, and
- 16:24Speaker 1: maybe then he'll get you know, like he'll continue to
- 16:27Speaker 1: get more attention, and he seems to be outperforming all
- 16:30Speaker 1: of this sort of like normal let's say, what's the
- 16:36Speaker 1: word I want to use? Establishment like groups that would
- 16:39Speaker 1: be in that position of like trying to like help men.
- 16:44Speaker 1: You know, Terrence has completely blown those guys away. I
- 16:47Speaker 1: think he said they were at like twenty something Live
- 16:50Speaker 1: Saved and he's like, yeah, I'm like closing in at
- 16:52Speaker 1: six hundred. So this is somebody that they should be
- 16:55Speaker 1: paying attention to. And his approach. You know, Alison has
- 16:59Speaker 1: taught on this channel about how men's ways of healing
- 17:03Speaker 1: is different from women's and when you look at the
- 17:06Speaker 1: way that our entire like mental health and therapy structures
- 17:11Speaker 1: are set up, they don't really understand or operate with
- 17:15Speaker 1: men's modes of being in mind. And I think that's
- 17:19Speaker 1: probably why Terrence Pop's more effective. He's got that Al
- 17:22Speaker 1: Bundy thing going on. And yeah, and it's it's I
- 17:27Speaker 1: think that that's uh, that's like the guy to look
- 17:30Speaker 1: at what was that? Oh I thought somebody said something.
- 17:35Speaker 1: But anyway, let us know what you guys think about
- 17:36Speaker 1: this story and the comments, and I'm gonna look at
- 17:39Speaker 1: your chats and Chow's and then we're gonna move on
- 17:41Speaker 1: to the next thing. So Richard Beierre sent us five
- 17:44Speaker 1: dollars and says, I heard the other day that Jordan
- 17:46Speaker 1: Peterson is in a health crisis right now too. Yeah,
- 17:49Speaker 1: he is. It's something to do with medication like that
- 17:53Speaker 1: he took. And yeah, I mean, well, I didn't report
- 17:59Speaker 1: on it for the show because all we have is
- 18:03Speaker 1: Michaela's account of things. Not that it's not trustworthy, but
- 18:07Speaker 1: I think to just say, yeah, Peterson's not feeling well
- 18:11Speaker 1: because he hasn't been for a while, isn't really like
- 18:14Speaker 1: a news story, so to see what develops. But apparently
- 18:17Speaker 1: it's got it's a reaction to some kind of psychiatric meds.
- 18:22Speaker 1: And that's kind of concerning because but we've talked about
- 18:26Speaker 1: that on this channel, like years ago when we used
- 18:29Speaker 1: to have Sage Girard on, we did a whole episode
- 18:32Speaker 1: about drugs, like mental health drugs and their effects because
- 18:37Speaker 1: Sage himself was on a bunch of drugs that his
- 18:40Speaker 1: like mother put him on or something when he was younger.
- 18:43Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, well, when there's a development in
- 18:46Speaker 1: that department, we will we'll cover it on the channel.
- 18:51Speaker 2: So no, the only thing that that I've seen has
- 18:56Speaker 2: been like on Christian news sites, it has been not
- 19:02Speaker 2: that the establishment media is necessarily better, but the Christian
- 19:08Speaker 2: news sites are discussing it as a spiritual attack, and
- 19:12Speaker 2: so it's it's kind of she's talking about medicine. And
- 19:17Speaker 2: then there's also some discussion about it being a reaction
- 19:22Speaker 2: to mold, which if it's to to mold exposure and
- 19:30Speaker 2: and if it's uh a reaction a trigger triggered by
- 19:33Speaker 2: mold exposure and he's allergic or something like that, I
- 19:36Speaker 2: could be really dangerous too. So it's it could be
- 19:41Speaker 2: a combination of things until we actually have more information
- 19:47Speaker 2: and and and see see more. Uh published, that's not
- 19:52Speaker 2: just a single person's account, It definitely is just it's
- 19:58Speaker 2: all hearsay.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll wait and see what when we learn more.
- 20:02Speaker 1: That's why I didn't make it a story. But thanks
- 20:04Speaker 1: for the super chow nonetheless, Richard. All right, so we
- 20:08Speaker 1: got I'm gonna move on to the next story. But
- 20:10Speaker 1: I just got breaking news from Mike Ja in the chat. Apparently.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Well let's uh, it looks like there's an announcement that
- 20:20Speaker 1: was just made.
- 20:23Speaker 8: Good afternoon.
- 20:25Speaker 4: Today.
- 20:25Speaker 8: A few minutes ago, in the Middle District of Alabama,
- 20:29Speaker 8: a grand jury returned an eleven count indictment charging the
- 20:33Speaker 8: Southern Poverty Law Center with six counts of wire fraud,
- 20:38Speaker 8: four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy
- 20:42Speaker 8: to commit money laundering. According to the charges in the indictment,
- 20:47Speaker 8: the SPLC is a nonprofit entity that purports to fight
- 20:51Speaker 8: white supremacy and racial hatred by reporting on extremist groups
- 20:56Speaker 8: and conducting research to inform law enforcement groups with the
- 21:00Speaker 8: goal of dismantling these groups. As the indictment describes, the
- 21:05Speaker 8: SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing
- 21:09Speaker 8: the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to
- 21:15Speaker 8: stoke racial hatred. The indictment describes as conduct in detail,
- 21:21Speaker 8: but one troubling example is that the SPLC was paying
- 21:25Speaker 8: a member of the leadership group that planned the Unite
- 21:28Speaker 8: the Right protest in Charlottesville, Virginia in twenty seventeen that
- 21:34Speaker 8: resulted in the death of one person and injured dozens more.
- 21:39Speaker 8: This particular person being paid by the SPLC allegedly received
- 21:44Speaker 8: approximately two hundred and seventy thousand dollars over the course
- 21:48Speaker 8: of eight years. In total, according to the indictment, between
- 21:53Speaker 8: twenty fourteen and twenty twenty three, SPLC paid at least
- 21:58Speaker 8: three million dollars to eight individuals.
- 22:01Speaker 1: At least.
- 22:03Speaker 8: These individuals were affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, United
- 22:07Speaker 8: Clans of America, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations Affiliated Sadistic
- 22:13Speaker 8: Soul's Motorcycle Club, the Nationalist Socialist Party of America, Nazis,
- 22:19Speaker 8: and the American Front. Now.
- 22:23Speaker 4: As the indictment lays.
- 22:24Speaker 8: Out, after SBLC paid members of these extremist groups, it
- 22:29Speaker 8: created work product that reported on these activities that the
- 22:33Speaker 8: members participated in or contributed to, and to that end,
- 22:37Speaker 8: it was doing the exact opposite of what it's told
- 22:39Speaker 8: its donors.
- 22:41Speaker 4: It was doing.
- 22:43Speaker 1: All right, So this just broke Mike Jay just sent
- 22:47Speaker 1: it to me. So apparently the SPLC is they got
- 22:55Speaker 1: their hands dirty, I guess, And they were spending money
- 22:59Speaker 1: on instructing like racial division and stuff like that, and
- 23:06Speaker 1: I guess they were behind Charlottesville and other things. It
- 23:09Speaker 1: was almost like a conspiracy took place. So I mean,
- 23:13Speaker 1: I don't know, if you guys want to have a reaction,
- 23:15Speaker 1: this is like, this just happened like twenty minutes ago.
- 23:22Speaker 2: So the Knight in Shining Armor was breeding big scary dragons?
- 23:28Speaker 2: Was its just such a shocker. We had no idea
- 23:34Speaker 2: besides the fact that it was pretty apparent from their behavior.
- 23:42Speaker 2: But you know, you know who does that? People that
- 23:46Speaker 2: are making a huge profit on defending the nation from
- 23:54Speaker 2: huge scary dragons. You know, if there aren't any huge
- 23:59Speaker 2: scary dragons real life, then you have to make them up.
- 24:03Speaker 2: You have to create them. You have to build them,
- 24:06Speaker 2: and you have to put them out there where people
- 24:08Speaker 2: will see them and get people talking about them and
- 24:11Speaker 2: make things happen so that more people will sincerely believe
- 24:19Speaker 2: that they need those knights in shining armor to defend
- 24:23Speaker 2: them from those big scary dragons. And as members of
- 24:28Speaker 2: the big Scary Dragon group. Yeah, as members of the
- 24:33Speaker 2: big scary dragon group. I'm sure I'm not the only
- 24:38Speaker 2: one of us that's finding this a bit amusing that
- 24:43Speaker 2: out of all of the clamoring among the right for prosecutions, accountability,
- 24:52Speaker 2: and so on with regard to the the finagling the
- 24:56Speaker 2: Shenanigans of the left, this is the one that comes
- 25:02Speaker 2: out first as a real solid indictment, where legal action
- 25:08Speaker 2: is being taken and it's going to be completed and
- 25:11Speaker 2: there will be consequences for it and so on. It's
- 25:16Speaker 2: just interesting they went after the SPLC first. If they're
- 25:20Speaker 2: choosing their enemies based on who is the most dangerous,
- 25:24Speaker 2: that means that the SPLC is more dangerous to ordinary
- 25:32Speaker 2: patriotic citizens of the United States than politicians in Congress,
- 25:41Speaker 2: bureaucrats in Washington, spies from other countries, and pedophile rings.
- 25:50Speaker 2: These guys must have done something quite a bit worse
- 25:53Speaker 2: than what they're being indicted for, although it is pretty
- 25:56Speaker 2: bad because it's essentially an aspect of money laundering, and
- 26:01Speaker 2: you know, if they're engaged in a little bit of
- 26:03Speaker 2: money laundering. Nobody ever does a little bit, right. That
- 26:09Speaker 2: means that behind the scenes, behind the curtain where you
- 26:16Speaker 2: can't see what's going on, there's there's other money laundering
- 26:20Speaker 2: taking place that that you don't know about. And as
- 26:24Speaker 2: they continue this investigation, maybe they will they'll link it
- 26:29Speaker 2: to some of the other people that happen to be
- 26:32Speaker 2: a threat. So it will be interesting to watch what
- 26:35Speaker 2: happens with this. I'm even if all all they do
- 26:46Speaker 2: is get the s PLC and take them down, it's
- 26:49Speaker 2: still a pretty big target.
- 26:52Speaker 1: They've been coming after us for a while a while.
- 26:55Speaker 2: But I I I do expect that this will lead
- 26:58Speaker 2: beyond the spl SEE and other organizations that have a
- 27:06Speaker 2: similar purpose might might want to be on notice, because
- 27:12Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious that they are doing similar things for
- 27:18Speaker 2: similar groups of people and two similar groups of people,
- 27:23Speaker 2: and they might want to watch their books.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike, did you want to say anything?
- 27:36Speaker 7: No, I didn't say some things I don't know crap
- 27:38Speaker 7: about shit about the fog of war, and I'm not
- 27:42Speaker 7: going to pretend I do. I'm going to wait until
- 27:45Speaker 7: fucking four years later. Okay, Well, I.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Will suggest that the other groups might want to put
- 27:52Speaker 2: on bigger hats because those tiny ones aren't going to
- 27:54Speaker 2: stop the one that's coming.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Okay, I got a uh super chat from Zaranx and
- 28:04Speaker 1: then we're gonna move on to the actual next story.
- 28:06Speaker 1: But this was a good one. Thank you, Mike J.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Shout out to Mike J H for sending that to me.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Zarenx gives us five dollars and says SPLTC is getting charged.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Let's fucking go. Thank you, Zarenks. Really appreciate it. I'm
- 28:21Speaker 1: you know what, I'm hopeful when you wish upon a star,
- 28:27Speaker 1: I think that that's the please take them down and
- 28:30Speaker 1: then then the ADL But okay, let's move on to
- 28:34Speaker 1: the next one. Let me know what you guys think
- 28:35Speaker 1: about this one in the comments. Okay, so oh, I
- 28:39Speaker 1: got another super chow at the last second. I'll just
- 28:42Speaker 1: read this one first. Mary G gives us ten dollars
- 28:44Speaker 1: and says, HPR news five forty nine honey for the
- 28:46Speaker 1: badgerss in the most sarcastic voice you can muster. I'm shocked,
- 28:50Speaker 1: so shocked. I can't tell you how shocked I am
- 28:54Speaker 1: that the SPLC is funding hatred to fight such hatred.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Fucking hubris yes, it's true. It's you know what I
- 29:01Speaker 1: would I mean, I would even ask myself why would
- 29:05Speaker 1: they do that? But that is it answers itself, because
- 29:08Speaker 1: that's how you make money. Well, how do feminists always
- 29:11Speaker 1: construct more misogyny because that's what they need to make money.
- 29:14Speaker 1: It's like the whole thing, you know. But anyway, thank
- 29:17Speaker 1: you Meredith. All right, we will follow up when that when.
- 29:20Speaker 7: We know more.
- 29:21Speaker 1: So it just won't like go off of it, you know,
- 29:24Speaker 1: like old cloth without knowing the facts. But we'll see
- 29:28Speaker 1: what comes out. So okay. So another news, there was
- 29:33Speaker 1: a twenty twenty six Intact Global Conference organized by attorney
- 29:39Speaker 1: Eric Klopper. Eric Klopper sorry a founder and president of
- 29:43Speaker 1: Intact Global. It took place from April eighteenth and nineteenth,
- 29:48Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, in downtown Los Angeles. The two day
- 29:51Speaker 1: event brought together intactivists who are guys that are against
- 29:56Speaker 1: male genital mutilation or circumcision if you guys don't know attorney,
- 30:00Speaker 1: These physicians, researchers, and advocates focused on ending non therapeutic
- 30:04Speaker 1: genital cutting on minors, commonly referred to as circumcision. He
- 30:09Speaker 1: highlights included progress reports on the lawsuit, heada check versus Oregon,
- 30:14Speaker 1: strategic planning for future nationwide legal challenges, and discussions on
- 30:19Speaker 1: medical ethics, bodily autonomy, and equal protection under the law
- 30:23Speaker 1: for male children. Speakers featured Eric Klopper himself, who delivered
- 30:28Speaker 1: talks on the future of intactivism, Georgianne Chapin of Intact America,
- 30:33Speaker 1: attorney Brad Kine, therapist Shay Johnson, and other leading voices
- 30:37Speaker 1: in the movement. Steven Svoboda is one of them two
- 30:39Speaker 1: that was there. The conference combined presentations, networking and strategy
- 30:44Speaker 1: sessions aimed at building momentum for legal and cultural change.
- 30:47Speaker 1: It was held at Intact globals new headquarters in a
- 30:50Speaker 1: historic dance hall with limited in person tickets that sold
- 30:53Speaker 1: out very quickly. But there are live stream options available
- 30:57Speaker 1: for remote viewers, which I'm showing on the screen. You
- 30:59Speaker 1: can go to the website and you can watch the
- 31:01Speaker 1: entire conference on your from the comfort of your own
- 31:04Speaker 1: home right now. If you're interested so it let's see
- 31:11Speaker 1: the solo livestream options are also available for remote viewers.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Clopper positioned the event as a pivotal gathering to shift
- 31:18Speaker 1: the intactivist movement towards more aggressive legal and advocacy efforts.
- 31:23Speaker 1: They are like making legal gains. Remember I mentioned the
- 31:27Speaker 1: how to Check versus Oregon lawsuit that is currently ongoing,
- 31:31Speaker 1: and there there's lots of really good people in there,
- 31:34Speaker 1: a lot of lawyers, a lot of scientists and those
- 31:38Speaker 1: kinds of things, so.
- 31:40Speaker 7: That they're now below fifty less than fifty percent of
- 31:46Speaker 7: male babies in the United States are being circumcised. That's
- 31:53Speaker 7: what they're sort of flying as the flagship of this conference.
- 31:57Speaker 7: And and yeah, that's good. It kind of makes you go, wow,
- 32:01Speaker 7: once upon a time there were more genises mutilated than
- 32:07Speaker 7: work weren't in a country that's neither Jewish nor Muslim. Okay,
- 32:12Speaker 7: good because there's no reason.
- 32:15Speaker 2: There's no reason, yeah reasoned.
- 32:19Speaker 7: There's not even a religious reason that would have happened.
- 32:21Speaker 7: And I'll get back to that. And yeah, I watched
- 32:24Speaker 7: the first couple of hours of that conference and I'll
- 32:27Speaker 7: get around to the rest of it eventually. I'm like,
- 32:30Speaker 7: I'm impressed that folks can do two days worth of
- 32:34Speaker 7: content on one issue. Like We've done a bunch of
- 32:37Speaker 7: conferences on men's issues over the years, and there's always
- 32:42Speaker 7: at least one talk about male genital musilation. Well, everything
- 32:49Speaker 7: else is about something else, because there's so many topics.
- 32:53Speaker 7: But it just goes to show you any given men's
- 32:57Speaker 7: issue is pervasive enough and important enough to have a
- 33:01Speaker 7: conference of its own. You can have a two day
- 33:04Speaker 7: conference about divorce. You can have a two day conference
- 33:08Speaker 7: about child custody, a two day a conference on miss
- 33:13Speaker 7: andry in the media. Going to think of it, you
- 33:16Speaker 7: can have a bi annual week long festival about missingry
- 33:21Speaker 7: in the media. Hence all the online channels who devote
- 33:25Speaker 7: their passion to addressing the issue of missionry in the media.
- 33:31Speaker 7: By that, I mean you wokeness in Hollywood and it's
- 33:35Speaker 7: affiliates and its associates and so on. But when it
- 33:39Speaker 7: comes to translating that passion into real life, as in
- 33:44Speaker 7: actually gathering together in physical events in real life, such
- 33:49Speaker 7: as you know, conventions, I mean, hi there, Honeybadge radio here.
- 33:58Speaker 7: Eleven years ago, we merely went to a convention about
- 34:03Speaker 7: comics and one of us tried to present the concept
- 34:07Speaker 7: of missonry and it didn't go well. It's eleven years ago.
- 34:14Speaker 7: I made a documentary about that shit. But at this
- 34:16Speaker 7: point I could just summarize it in four words, it
- 34:20Speaker 7: didn't go well. But it's good to know that at
- 34:25Speaker 7: this point in history, people can hold their own conference
- 34:29Speaker 7: about a very specific issue, in this case male gentle mutilation,
- 34:33Speaker 7: and they don't get slandered and libeled and thrown out
- 34:39Speaker 7: and left for dead and so on. See a lot
- 34:43Speaker 7: of our opponents might be thinking, you're having an entire
- 34:46Speaker 7: conference about four skins. That seems like a weird thing
- 34:51Speaker 7: to be so obsessed about. Does it? Does it?
- 34:55Speaker 1: Indeed?
- 34:56Speaker 4: To you?
- 34:57Speaker 7: Does it? It seems weird? Does it? Well? I think
- 35:02Speaker 7: mutilating baby genitals is just about the weirdest thing that
- 35:06Speaker 7: humans can do. And when I say weird, I mean evil.
- 35:11Speaker 7: I think mutilating babies genitals is just about the most
- 35:15Speaker 7: evil thing that humans do. It's one thing to kill
- 35:19Speaker 7: babies when they're still in the womb, where you don't,
- 35:23Speaker 7: you know, have to think about what's going on. It's
- 35:28Speaker 7: quite another to actually hear the screams of agony from infants,
- 35:35Speaker 7: to hear that and to feel nothing, To insert a
- 35:41Speaker 7: scalpel into a baby's most sensitive flesh for no good reason,
- 35:49Speaker 7: and to be able to continue doing so while you
- 35:53Speaker 7: pay no attention to those screams is as it's it's
- 36:00Speaker 7: something else. You might think it it's you might think
- 36:04Speaker 7: only a fictional psychopathic serial killer could possibly do such
- 36:10Speaker 7: a thing as this, But yeah, no, doctors do it.
- 36:14Speaker 7: In real life. Nurses do it. They they coerce you
- 36:19Speaker 7: into signing the paperwork and then they stand there completely
- 36:23Speaker 7: indifferent to the ululating screams. I don't I don't know
- 36:31Speaker 7: if you've ever heard a recording of those screams, dear audience,
- 36:37Speaker 7: that of boys being circumcised. When it's it's it's not
- 36:45Speaker 7: like in a Hollywood movie scream when it's sustained into
- 36:50Speaker 7: one operatic note. It's a scream that can't catch its breath.
- 36:56Speaker 7: It's a scream that oscillates from scream to silence like
- 37:01Speaker 7: twice a second. I can I can't reproduce it with
- 37:06Speaker 7: my own vocal cause, but it it pulsates, you see
- 37:11Speaker 7: what I mean? Because it's not a cry for help
- 37:15Speaker 7: at that point. It's a cry of someone beyond help,
- 37:19Speaker 7: the cry of someone who screams not because the scream
- 37:25Speaker 7: might benefit them, but because all they can do is scream.
- 37:32Speaker 7: The scream of someone who knows they have been forsaken
- 37:37Speaker 7: by God. Himself, dare I say farther into your hands,
- 37:43Speaker 7: I commend my spirit and so on. And the medical
- 37:49Speaker 7: professionals who are tasked with looking after us are very
- 37:54Speaker 7: often people who can hear these screams and just ignore them.
- 38:01Speaker 7: They just don't care, because to them it's normal. So yes,
- 38:07Speaker 7: my dear philosophical opponents, there are entire conferences devoted to
- 38:15Speaker 7: ending this practice, this covenant. I don't think that's weird.
- 38:21Speaker 7: I think you're weird for thinking it's weird. I think
- 38:25Speaker 7: there should be a regular show every day on every
- 38:29Speaker 7: channel in every broadcast media outlet devoted to this subject
- 38:34Speaker 7: until this covenant has been severed. For one of the
- 38:42Speaker 7: better choice of words. One thing I remember Eric Klopper
- 38:46Speaker 7: saying in his opening speech was that we are focusing
- 38:50Speaker 7: our efforts on the subcategory of quote non religious genital
- 38:55Speaker 7: cutting for now. He's specifically qualified it by saying for now,
- 39:04Speaker 7: and I'm glad you did that. That means once we
- 39:08Speaker 7: get through all the red tape of the non religious
- 39:10Speaker 7: layer of male genital mutilation, we can indeed go after
- 39:14Speaker 7: the religious layer of it. Ideally, there's no time like
- 39:20Speaker 7: the present, preferably yesterday, if possible, torturing babies for absolutely
- 39:28Speaker 7: no reason is very arguably the worst thing that humans
- 39:34Speaker 7: can possibly do to each other. I think that's as
- 39:38Speaker 7: close as we can get to moral objectivity. Don't genitally
- 39:42Speaker 7: torture babies for no reason. And if your particular religion
- 39:46Speaker 7: demands that we do the worst thing we can do
- 39:51Speaker 7: to each other, then, as far as I'm concerned, your
- 39:54Speaker 7: particular religion is a I mean, it has two options.
- 40:02Speaker 7: Option one reform itself, option to be annihilated both of you, yeah,
- 40:12Speaker 7: me Jews and Muzlard. I don't give a shit about
- 40:16Speaker 7: the bombs you're scrambling to drop on each other. I mean,
- 40:21Speaker 7: I mean, there are conceivably good reasons to drop bombs,
- 40:26Speaker 7: but there are no good reasons to generally torture babies none.
- 40:32Speaker 7: Your problem is that you've been fucking around without finding
- 40:36Speaker 7: out for so long you don't no what the fuck
- 40:41Speaker 7: you're doing. That famous quote.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Hannah, did you already say your thing about this?
- 40:55Speaker 2: Not really, but a lot of it was pretty much
- 40:59Speaker 2: what what Mike said. But I will point out, you know,
- 41:03Speaker 2: people people talk about this like it's a medical procedure
- 41:10Speaker 2: with some benefit, but any other time, a part of
- 41:15Speaker 2: the skin becomes wholly or partially detached from the body,
- 41:20Speaker 2: stripped off like a glove from a hand. They call
- 41:25Speaker 2: it a degloving injury, and it's actually a very serious injury,
- 41:31Speaker 2: requiring immediate medical attention because it can cause things like
- 41:36Speaker 2: permanent nerve damage, massive blood loss, systemic infections like sepsis
- 41:44Speaker 2: or necrotizing fasciitish, don't look those up if you are
- 41:50Speaker 2: squeamish by the way. It can cause severe scarring, it
- 41:56Speaker 2: can cause disfigurement, It can cause PTSD from the pain
- 42:04Speaker 2: and from the after effects, and it can limit the
- 42:09Speaker 2: function of where the skin came off of. It's you,
- 42:13Speaker 2: if it's your hand, if it's your foot, and you know,
- 42:17Speaker 2: you lose flexibility in your muscles and your tendons, and
- 42:23Speaker 2: you get reduced mobility, and you end up with persistent
- 42:27Speaker 2: swelling from lymphatic damage, and all kinds of terrible things
- 42:32Speaker 2: happen and throughout the rest of your body. The medical community,
- 42:39Speaker 2: the public, everybody recognizes that when you take a significant
- 42:45Speaker 2: portion of the skin off, that that is a severe injury,
- 42:50Speaker 2: and it's not something that should be done on purpose.
- 42:53Speaker 2: It's something that should be avoided at at great cost.
- 42:59Speaker 2: People actually die from this type of an injury, and
- 43:04Speaker 2: it's being inflicted on infant boys during the first days
- 43:08Speaker 2: of their lives, when their experience of everything is a
- 43:13Speaker 2: huge percentage of their life to that point, and so
- 43:19Speaker 2: everything feels like it's happening for a significantly longer time
- 43:25Speaker 2: than it feels like to you at your age. And
- 43:32Speaker 2: the crying that Mike was talking about is a symptom
- 43:36Speaker 2: of the child going into shock, and it gets ignored
- 43:42Speaker 2: like it's not a big deal, like, oh, well, the
- 43:44Speaker 2: mother can comfort the baby afterward. But it is extremely dangerous.
- 43:50Speaker 2: And there's all kinds of information about other after effects,
- 43:56Speaker 2: including mental health conditions that can cause guys to have
- 44:01Speaker 2: difficulty identifying, describing, and discussing and expressing their feelings, the
- 44:09Speaker 2: very thing that women complain about. Right, So, when when
- 44:14Speaker 2: you hear that women women prefer cut dicks, which is bullshit.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Women don't know anything about what they're talking about with
- 44:25Speaker 2: regard to that. They just get told that there's going
- 44:28Speaker 2: to be yucky goo all over it if it's not cut.
- 44:32Speaker 2: When when you hear that, just just remember that you're
- 44:37Speaker 2: being told that women prefer their men to be permanently
- 44:41Speaker 2: scarred wounded, disfigured, with functional limitations and chronic pain, because
- 44:50Speaker 2: that's what it means to say that women prefer cut men.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Nobody would accept it if they were told that men
- 45:00Speaker 2: preferred women with some sort of scarification done to them, right,
- 45:06Speaker 2: Nobody would suggest even for a moment that such a
- 45:12Speaker 2: treatment should be done to women in Western society. It
- 45:17Speaker 2: would be you immediately get shut down, You get called
- 45:20Speaker 2: a misogynist, you'd get accused of being sadistic and hateful
- 45:27Speaker 2: and maybe dangerous. But women can say shit like that
- 45:31Speaker 2: and get away with it all the time, right. But
- 45:34Speaker 2: in the meantime, we get told all the time also
- 45:39Speaker 2: that men don't object to this, that it's not a problem,
- 45:43Speaker 2: and that anybody that does object to it has something
- 45:45Speaker 2: wrong with them, and so on. Well enough men object
- 45:48Speaker 2: to it that they have funded an initiative by a
- 45:53Speaker 2: company called Forgen that has been working on a process
- 45:59Speaker 2: to regrow oh the foreskin. Nobody's going to fund that
- 46:03Speaker 2: if they're okay with it, Right, They're clearly not okay
- 46:06Speaker 2: with it if they are donating to a cause to
- 46:09Speaker 2: get it back. So again, that argument's bullshit. And by
- 46:15Speaker 2: the way, Forgen is making progress they've already started heading
- 46:20Speaker 2: toward human trials. They're in clin clinical trials now and
- 46:25Speaker 2: they're already starting the process of human trials. And they're
- 46:33Speaker 2: also working with larger pieces of tissue. So this is
- 46:39Speaker 2: this is progressing. It is going to happen. It's going
- 46:43Speaker 2: to take time, but it is going to happen. And
- 46:47Speaker 2: you can see on their website foragen f O R
- 46:50Speaker 2: E g E N dot org. For men who have
- 46:55Speaker 2: an interest in this, you can see where they are
- 46:59Speaker 2: in the process, what they've been doing, and uh what
- 47:02Speaker 2: what they expect to accomplish in the future, what needs
- 47:06Speaker 2: they have in order to continue their work, and uh
- 47:10Speaker 2: what what types of volunteering can be done, whether you
- 47:14Speaker 2: could be part of a clinical trial and so on.
- 47:17Speaker 2: So I definitely recommend looking at that website and uh
- 47:21Speaker 2: and I am glad that this issue is is getting
- 47:25Speaker 2: more mainstream discussion and that there are enough people interested
- 47:28Speaker 2: in it to have a conference and get the ball
- 47:33Speaker 2: rolling on larger issues like the legal issues, and hopefully
- 47:40Speaker 2: those lawsuits pan out and and it changes what is
- 47:46Speaker 2: permissible by by the medical community. I hate to say
- 47:50Speaker 2: it as as like low low person on the totem
- 47:54Speaker 2: pole within the medical profession, but I lost a lot
- 48:02Speaker 2: of respect for the professionals who work above me in
- 48:07Speaker 2: the last month due to circumstances I can't really discuss
- 48:11Speaker 2: other than to say that I think that a lot
- 48:15Speaker 2: of times they get caught up in logistics and they
- 48:23Speaker 2: forget there's a person that they're taking care of, and
- 48:25Speaker 2: there's a person on the table, and it's a person
- 48:29Speaker 2: that they're talking about doing things too, and it's a
- 48:32Speaker 2: person who's going to experience the aftermath of whatever they're doing.
- 48:37Speaker 2: And that starts with things like circumcision, where they don't
- 48:42Speaker 2: even have to hear words from the person. All they
- 48:44Speaker 2: hear is cries, and they can dismiss it as something
- 48:47Speaker 2: that the baby just does all the time. But anybody
- 48:54Speaker 2: that's raised kids can tell you if they've seen if
- 48:59Speaker 2: they've seen the film I believe it's called American Circumcision
- 49:03Speaker 2: that we watched at ICMI twenty eighteen that actually had
- 49:09Speaker 2: those cries in it. Babies don't cry like that the
- 49:13Speaker 2: rest of the time. There's not another thing that normally
- 49:18Speaker 2: happens to them that leads to them making that sound
- 49:23Speaker 2: that is unique, that is unique to trauma. And you
- 49:29Speaker 2: better hope you never hear your kid make that sound.
- 49:33Speaker 2: It was hard enough to hear somebody else's kid make
- 49:35Speaker 2: that sound, and it was hard to be in the
- 49:39Speaker 2: room with other people hearing somebody else's kid make that
- 49:44Speaker 2: sound and not being able to do anything about it
- 49:46Speaker 2: because it's on video. It's not even happening in the room.
- 49:50Speaker 2: You can't even go help the baby. But medical professionals
- 49:57Speaker 2: can't ignore se it shit like that. They can can
- 50:00Speaker 2: sit there and calmly and methodically discuss taking away something
- 50:08Speaker 2: of great significance to an individual and for little to
- 50:14Speaker 2: know medical benefit, as if it's such an important thing
- 50:19Speaker 2: to do, as if well, this is just you know, expected,
- 50:26Speaker 2: we're going to do this right, and if you don't agree,
- 50:31Speaker 2: they get they get hateful about it. So it really
- 50:36Speaker 2: is It really is good that this is being addressed
- 50:39Speaker 2: by layman and that it's being addressed in a legal system,
- 50:43Speaker 2: because medical ethics isn't going to address this. I've learned.
- 50:51Speaker 2: You can't get them to care, which is really sad,
- 50:57Speaker 2: but it does help to direct efforts that are being made,
- 51:02Speaker 2: and hopefully, hopefully we'll have more to report on that
- 51:07Speaker 2: in the next year.
- 51:11Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's an ongoing thing, and you know,
- 51:15Speaker 1: when it comes to like the non religious like disclaimer
- 51:18Speaker 1: they make, I think the point of it is that
- 51:20Speaker 1: they know that they got to meet people where they are,
- 51:23Speaker 1: so you do it, yeah, a little at a time,
- 51:26Speaker 1: and you know, once it becomes like normal to do that,
- 51:29Speaker 1: then I think you can like get get it the
- 51:32Speaker 1: rest of the way. So we have to work basically
- 51:36Speaker 1: the one. You know, the more boys we save, the better,
- 51:41Speaker 1: no matter how we have to frame it. Another thing
- 51:43Speaker 1: they do is they don't frame it as a gendered
- 51:45Speaker 1: thing either, because you know, we already know that you
- 51:48Speaker 1: don't do that to women in America, like we don't
- 51:50Speaker 1: do that to girls. But if they frame it as
- 51:52Speaker 1: a boy's issue, it probably is like to get less support.
- 51:56Speaker 1: If you frame it as a unisex issue or like
- 52:01Speaker 1: not gender, then it's good that they're using everything.
- 52:04Speaker 2: There is another reason why they have to do that.
- 52:07Speaker 2: You know, there's another reason why they have to do that, right, Yeah,
- 52:10Speaker 2: go ahead, because in Michigan there are lawsuits right now
- 52:16Speaker 2: ongoing and have been for several years to give certain
- 52:24Speaker 2: communities the right to expand genital mutilation legal genital mutilation
- 52:30Speaker 2: from boys to girls, so they're going in the wrong direction.
- 52:33Speaker 2: Instead of eliminating it the practice being done on boys,
- 52:38Speaker 2: they're trying to also do the practice on girls, which
- 52:43Speaker 2: would mean that boys would still continue to suffer the
- 52:46Speaker 2: practice as well. And so they do have to talk
- 52:50Speaker 2: about both sexes because it's actually under attack the concept
- 52:56Speaker 2: that you know, we've got one sex covered. Now we
- 52:59Speaker 2: need to convince people that it's just as bad to
- 53:03Speaker 2: do it to the other sex. Like that's over now.
- 53:08Speaker 2: They're actually the ones holding the gates.
- 53:12Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, anyway, let us you guys think
- 53:16Speaker 1: about this. One of the comments. If you get a
- 53:18Speaker 1: chance to put a link to the conference in the description,
- 53:21Speaker 1: it's actually in the Patreon page that is linked in
- 53:24Speaker 1: the description. You can go and look at it yourself,
- 53:27Speaker 1: or just search in Tech Global Conference twenty twenty six
- 53:31Speaker 1: and you'll find the live streams. Okay, so I got
- 53:37Speaker 1: a super chow from Richard Bierre, who gives us five
- 53:41Speaker 1: dollars and says the indifference that medical personnel have to
- 53:44Speaker 1: these screams, because it sounds like something that happens every day,
- 53:47Speaker 1: is akin to the riot control stink bomb that was
- 53:50Speaker 1: developed by some Israeli scientists that has absolutely no effect
- 53:54Speaker 1: on Indians. The screams sound like any given day in
- 53:57Speaker 1: the neonatal war. To the hospital, the stink bomb smells
- 54:00Speaker 1: like an average Tuesday in India. To Indians, the stink
- 54:04Speaker 1: bomb does give new meaning to the meme of the
- 54:07Speaker 1: Indian defendant being sentenced to a fifteen minute shower with soap.
- 54:12Speaker 1: Thank you, Richard. Well, it's a good thing you're not
- 54:14Speaker 1: going after Jews. Okay, so let's move on to the
- 54:18Speaker 1: next one. Let me know what you guys think about
- 54:22Speaker 1: this one of the comments. All right, so the satirical
- 54:27Speaker 1: news outlet, and I use the word satire, is doing
- 54:29Speaker 1: a lot of heavy lifting here. I used to love
- 54:31Speaker 1: these people, but they have since not been very funny.
- 54:34Speaker 1: The Onion announced on April twentieth that it has reached
- 54:38Speaker 1: a new licensing deal to take over info Wars, the
- 54:42Speaker 1: website founded by Alex Jones. The agreement struck with the
- 54:47Speaker 1: struck with the court appointed receiver managing info Wars amid
- 54:51Speaker 1: Jones's ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, would allow The Onion's parent company,
- 54:56Speaker 1: Global tet Tetahedron Yes that's the real name of the place,
- 55:01Speaker 1: to lease the info Wars website, domain, trademark and associated
- 55:05Speaker 1: intellectual property for eighty one thousand dollars per month for
- 55:09Speaker 1: an initial six months, with an option to renew. The
- 55:13Speaker 1: move comes after The Onion previously won a twenty twenty
- 55:16Speaker 1: four bankruptcy auction for the assets, intended to help satisfy
- 55:22Speaker 1: the more than one billion in defamation lawsuits that Jones
- 55:27Speaker 1: supposedly owns to Sandy Hook Families, only for that sale
- 55:31Speaker 1: to be blocked by a judge. If approved by a
- 55:34Speaker 1: Texas District judge at a hearing expected around April thirtieth,
- 55:37Speaker 1: the deal would effectively end Jones's control over the platforms
- 55:41Speaker 1: he has used for decades to promote his theories. I'll
- 55:45Speaker 1: just say theories, not conspiracy theories, because he's been right
- 55:48Speaker 1: a lot of the time to be honest. Under the
- 55:50Speaker 1: new arrangement, The Onion plans to transform info Wars into
- 55:54Speaker 1: a parody and comedy network that satirizes its own former
- 55:59Speaker 1: conspiratorial style. Comedian Tim Heideker, known for Tim and Eric,
- 56:04Speaker 1: has been named creative director and will help steer the
- 56:07Speaker 1: relaunch as a comedy network. Onion CEO Ben Collins stated
- 56:11Speaker 1: that profits from the operation would go toward repaying the
- 56:15Speaker 1: Sandy Hook families. Supposedly, Jones has vowed to fight this
- 56:19Speaker 1: deal in court and continue his show elsewhere. The Twist,
- 56:23Speaker 1: a premier satire site turning one of America's most notorious
- 56:27Speaker 1: conspiracy platforms into self parody, has quickly become one of
- 56:31Speaker 1: the most talked about media stories of the week. And
- 56:33Speaker 1: also it happened on four to twenty, which I don't.
- 56:38Speaker 1: I mean, you know, that's just I just thought this
- 56:42Speaker 1: was too fascinating to pass up.
- 56:44Speaker 2: So in other news, the Onion still exists.
- 56:49Speaker 1: I think the Onion is actually under the same like
- 56:52Speaker 1: conglomerate as websites like the Root up to look it up,
- 56:57Speaker 1: because I think it is. I think the Onion is
- 56:59Speaker 1: part of that network that used to be Gawker, which
- 57:03Speaker 1: is extra weird. But but go ahead, what are your
- 57:06Speaker 1: thoughts on.
- 57:06Speaker 2: This, Mike? Do you have anything before I continue?
- 57:13Speaker 7: I once upon a time, the Onion did subversive stories
- 57:20Speaker 7: and at one point that got taken over by the
- 57:24Speaker 7: Babylon B, didn't it. And now we're at the point
- 57:28Speaker 7: where where the Babylon B is sort of falling behind. Well, well,
- 57:35Speaker 7: at least they're on one side of the conflict. Of
- 57:39Speaker 7: the pro Israel every side of the conflict sort of thing.
- 57:44Speaker 7: And now onions fallen behind the wayside because the Onion's
- 57:48Speaker 7: always been left wing in its approach to its satire.
- 57:55Speaker 7: But as long as you're being like as biting as possible,
- 58:03Speaker 7: then then then you can transcend the left wing and
- 58:06Speaker 7: the right wing. And like twenty years ago, the onion
- 58:10Speaker 7: was was the rag that transcended such politics in order
- 58:19Speaker 7: to display the possible foreshadowings of the future that might happen.
- 58:27Speaker 7: And that's why we call it things like the onion conundrum.
- 58:30Speaker 7: Like uh, pose law, it's called pose law, right, the
- 58:36Speaker 7: idea that reality can only go so far before it's
- 58:41Speaker 7: impossible to parody and uh, and the Onion got caught
- 58:47Speaker 7: up in this because they tried to parody reality, but
- 58:51Speaker 7: they were overtaken by reality and and and then they
- 58:55Speaker 7: fell into the into the same swa of leftism that
- 59:01Speaker 7: most that most other sites did. And then the Babylon
- 59:04Speaker 7: b took over and they were like, ah, now we're
- 59:07Speaker 7: in charge of doing our best to see what we
- 59:11Speaker 7: could do to predict what reality is going to do
- 59:15Speaker 7: in the next few years. And then yeah, they fell
- 59:19Speaker 7: on the wayside as well. Because he just you just
- 59:23Speaker 7: can't predict what reality is going to do, no matter
- 59:26Speaker 7: how president you are with your satire. And I say
- 59:30Speaker 7: this as something of a satirist myself, like I've done
- 59:36Speaker 7: my best two to predict, for the sake of humorousness,
- 59:43Speaker 7: what what reality is going to do in the future.
- 59:48Speaker 7: And uh and and yeah, even even I as as
- 59:53Speaker 7: someone who's not left leaning like the Onion or Israel
- 59:57Speaker 7: leaning like the Babylon Bee, I'm like, yeah, I'm I'm
- 1:00:04Speaker 7: lost in the undergrowth.
- 1:00:06Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:00:07Speaker 7: At this point, there there's nothing we can do anymore.
- 1:00:14Speaker 7: We can reach for the outskirts of possibility. Yeah, saterically
- 1:00:21Speaker 7: speaking as to where the world is going to go
- 1:00:24Speaker 7: from here, but we we've fallen behind reality. Reality is
- 1:00:34Speaker 7: enacting these impossibilities faster than any satirists can predict them.
- 1:00:43Speaker 7: So we're just here and yeah, and and now the
- 1:00:46Speaker 7: Onion owns and for us and there and they're recreating
- 1:00:51Speaker 7: it with this fucking rainbow logo or some ship. I
- 1:00:55Speaker 7: don't and and you know, we'll have to ask ourselves
- 1:01:02Speaker 7: what we can expect from an info was led by
- 1:01:05Speaker 7: the Onion, Like, what are they gonna do? They're not
- 1:01:10Speaker 7: going to be able to predict reality in the future
- 1:01:14Speaker 7: that it's it's like a hair protecting where the talltics
- 1:01:21Speaker 7: is gonna go, you know what I mean.
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: I have a prediction. So you guys remember the movie
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: Good Morning Vietnam and the character that Robin Williams played,
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: which was basically Robin Williams, the way that he was
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: loud and boisterous and funny and interesting and all that
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: and in his show and everybody loved his show, and
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: he played good music and had a good time and
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: you know, engaged with his audience and it was great.
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: And that's why they made a movie about that guy.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: Because the real guy wasn't Robin Williams, but he but
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: he was similar and in some ways, and and he
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: was well loved, right and the guy that took over
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: and that did a puppet show on the radio for
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: for the for the Zoomers. You can't see what's going
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: on on the radio. It's not like the internet. You can't.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: There's no video on the radio. Just sorry, you pick
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: on the Zoomers. I know you have radios at home
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: somewhere in the basement in the corner in the dark,
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: gathering dust. But in any case, I have a prediction
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: that this is going to be kind of similar, right,
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: because Alex Jones is more than a personality. He is
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: a one man cult of personality. And I was serious
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: when I said I wasn't sure the Onion was still
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: in existence. I didn't realize they were still going. They
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: weren't worthy of my attention and haven't been worthy of
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: my attention for years, and so I really I didn't
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: know that they hadn't a lot of other sites like
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: that had just kind of died when they went woke.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: So I thought, well, maybe the Onion did too, or
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: rather really hadn't given them any consideration in quite some time.
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: And I imagine that they're not going to be any
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: funnier than the guy doing the puppet show on the radio.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: I just don't see them being able to top his performance,
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: no matter how hard they try. And if they do
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: try hard, it's just going to look like a bunch
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: of people trying too hard. It's really not going I
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: feel bad for them, Actually, it's it's you know, maybe
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: they'll be able to I don't know, maybe they'll be
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: able to meme him a little bit here and there
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: in ways that the rest of the Internet hasn't already done,
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: but I doubt it, Like, what new thing are they
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: actually going to do? What entertaining thing are they actually
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: going to do that is going to be more entertaining
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: than Alex Jones and more more fun then than what
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: other meme warriors have done on the internet. So I
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: think there's probably not going to pan out for them
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: the way that they're expecting, and it's not something I
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: necessarily wish on on them, But I mean this, this
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: is probably going to be a get woke, go broke
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: endeavor unless they get money from you know, laundered money
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: from some other source like you know, sorrows or some shit,
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: because I just don't I don't see this being a
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: good investment. Otherwise, I really don't know it has This
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: doesn't really have anything to do specifically with gender other
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: than the fact that you know, I think the the
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: feminist influence woke idealogues at the Onion aren't going to
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: be able to hold up to the level of testosterone
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: on the Alex Jones Show. And I think that honestly,
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: wherever he goes, he's going to take his audience with
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: him and nobody's going to care what the Onion is doing.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like Info Wars Alex Jones is Info Wars,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: So I don't think, but I do think it the
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: purpose of it is to humiliate him and destroy him reputationally.
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: This is the goal. I don't think it's gonna work
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: out the way they want. I don't think the Onion
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: cares about making money off of this either. They're they're
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: basically destroying it and they're just going to like use
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: their humor in like just as a I guess, a
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: way to excuse or like be the reasoning behind just
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: destroying it. But I think the goal is to destroy it,
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: and they do. They did work under Gawker Media, but
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: then Gawker, if you guys remember, filed for chapter eleven
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: and twenty sixteen, so because of Hulk Hogan what a timeline.
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: And then they were part of Univision and then Gizmoto,
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: which is also part of Jezebel, dead Spin, Kotaku, Jalopnik,
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: and Life Hacker. So they're still like even though Gawker
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: is gone and Nick Denton is you know, I don't know,
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: he's probably got a decent job somewhere else, not.
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: Run that who, but that whole group is just one
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: big circle of snooty little buttles.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: Yeah, they're basically coastal elites. Yeah, so they're all gonna
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: look out for each other there. You can like destroy
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: a company through bankruptcy, you won't change the ideas of
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: the people that work there. You won't change there. In fact,
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: they're probably like more more radical than they were back then,
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: and so they're going to in my opinion, they're gonna
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: if unless Alex gets his company back, which you know
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: this is still ongoing, is just the pitch. They're probably
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: just going to run into the ground with their millennial humor,
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: which no one cares about. I think they're trying to
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: be the new John Stewart, which you know is already
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: like old hat but whatever, and uh, that's kind of
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: the goal. So they're there. I think that it's all
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: just like pissing on the ashes, if there are any ashes.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. And it's a humiliation ritual and
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: they're making Alex participate. But again it the the thing
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: that they don't understand is that Alex doesn't need info Wars.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: Remember this happened to James O'Keefe. He had the company
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Project Veritas and Project Veritas threw him under the bus
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: for whatever reason. They tried to like throw them overthrow
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: him and take the company away from him him, and
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: he was like okay, and then he started his own company,
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: O'Keefe Media Group did even better than Prodric Veritas, and
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: then he went back and bought Project Veritas so and
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: merged it with his own company. I think so I
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: I And at the end of the day, because James
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: O'Keefe was Project Veritas in the same way that Alex
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: Alex Jones is Info Wars, so it doesn't matter. He
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: can just make the Alex Jones show. He can make
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: something else and he'll and people will follow him. Like
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: he can just go on x and you know, with
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: his phone and start a livestream and he'll get like
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: people watching. So it's kind of like fruitless. But it
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: does show how petty our enemies can be, because that's
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: what this is. This is extremely petty. This is just
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: to like rub you know, rub it in our faces.
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: And you know, whether you whatever you think about Alex
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: Jones and Info Wars aside, remember they want to do
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: this to YouTube, so it doesn't really matter, you know,
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: But anyway, those are my thoughts on that. Let me
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: know what you guys think about this one in the comments.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: And now we're gonna get to our last story. Let
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: we just make sure I did to miss any super
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: chats or anything. Nope, all's quite on that one. Well,
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: I want to know what you guys think in the comments. Okay,
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: So last story. So we got the Rock in the news.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: This is like a little one. I thought I would
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: end on something small because we had a lot of
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: good news too. So so Dwayne the amorphis blob of
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: liquid who changes his views and personality to comply with
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: whatever the current Hollywood values are. Johnson, who I have
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: been told? What I love?
- 1:10:35Speaker 7: I love the way Mike writes his articles.
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: Yeah, well that is that is. It's true.
- 1:10:40Speaker 7: It doesn't like I would do it.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: Who I've who I have been told also sometimes goes
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: by the rock once again, has a shit hot take
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: while at CinemaCon and promoting Disney's upcoming live action Mowana movie,
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: a film no one asked for, including me. I didn't
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: want the original Mohana movie. Johnson delivered this gem of wisdom.
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: And of course this is what always happens. And I
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: think it's important because this goes back to what we're
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: talking about with mis injury in the media. All men
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: of all this is Rock's quote. Okay, all men of
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: all ages, we should empower and support and champion all women.
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: That's what real masculinity looks like. The hero of our
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: story is not a princess, She's a warrior. The comment
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: was made in perfect timing to introduce the movie's female lead,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: which I would like to point out the article doesn't
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: even bother naming. The rest of the article parrots the
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: same Hollywood talking points concerning toxic masculinity and how it's
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: time for female stars to lead the way while male
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: stars step down to second banana support roles. But it
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: does end up on a surprising note of clarity quote
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: because while Hollywood can promote a new definition of masculinity
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: from the stage at CinemaCon, the final verdict doesn't come
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: from critics or industry of ciders. It comes from ticket buyers,
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: and lately that response has been far more mixed than
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: the messaging might suspect or might suggest. And the original
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: article is that park Place, which is not a bad website.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: It's not like cringe. But the comments under the article
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: are pretty good. One person said, I missed the time
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: where celebrities tried to hide their private life and political
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: views from the public. Another one said, so the worth
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: of a man is only and truly to be measured
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: by how much he supports women. I weep for the
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: men and women of nations built upon these principles. Well,
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: you're in one. You'd better best be believing in ghost stories,
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: miss Turner. You're in one. Without men, the world would
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: last one year before all infrastructure collapses, maybe like a week.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: Without women, the world would last easily twenty years before. Yeah, right,
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: three hours later. So anyway, just like you know, I
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: just want to okay, just and I'm not covering for
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: Dwayne Johnson. I think that he is just doing what
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: he thinks is best for his brand career. He doesn't
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: really have opinions that are his own. He's you know.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: And And what happens a lot with these where they
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: get these clips is there's like a red carpet, you know,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: event for the premiere, and all the stars and all
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: the people involved. They get on the red carpet and
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: they start walking to watch the premiere. They're all in
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: their suits and there and they're rented dresses or whatever
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: it is they do, the dresses they borrow to show off.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: And there's always like this fucking gay guy in a
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: bow tie that's waiting on the side with a microphone,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: and they ask them leading. This guy always ask them
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: very pointed bait questions about masculinity, about you know, whatever,
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: whatever the topic is, you know, immigration, LGBTQ, whatever, and
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: it's all. He always puts him on a spot with
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: a cringe question and these people are forced to give
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: a cringe answer. And I'm not saying does he probably
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: agrees with it, I'm not. I'm not defending him at all,
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, remember, this guy doesn't have his
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: own ideas, so but yeah he so he God he
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: looks so weird in that wig too. By the way,
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: this was a terrible idea. Who thought this was a
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: good idea? Okay, I'm sorry, I'm done.
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: Gisney thought this was a good idea that should tell
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: you everything?
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: Yeah it does. Okay, So what do you think is
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: that what real masculinity is?
- 1:14:40Speaker 7: I mean, I have an idea, ladies and gentlemen, if
- 1:14:44Speaker 7: I may call you that, ladies and gentlemen, what if
- 1:14:49Speaker 7: what if men empowered women, while men also empowered each
- 1:14:54Speaker 7: other well. At the same time, women empower men well
- 1:14:59Speaker 7: women and also empower each other. That way we get
- 1:15:04Speaker 7: around the rather tricky notion that one cannot empower one another.
- 1:15:11Speaker 7: The thing we call empowerment is a one way street.
- 1:15:13Speaker 7: If you have the power to bestow power on another,
- 1:15:17Speaker 7: then the power is with you, and any bestowed power
- 1:15:23Speaker 7: is just the stuff of puppets. Yes, I would say that.
- 1:15:29Speaker 7: Look at this taxidermic facsimile of your identitarian represation. Look
- 1:15:35Speaker 7: at this stuffed skin suit? Do you see? Do you
- 1:15:39Speaker 7: not see? Lost myself there? Anyway? What what if, mister Rock,
- 1:15:46Speaker 7: mister Johnson, mister whatever the fuck be like it is
- 1:15:51Speaker 7: what it do? What if?
- 1:15:53Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:15:54Speaker 7: What if women loved men like men love women. Never
- 1:15:59Speaker 7: mind empowerment. Let's get back to like love. Since you
- 1:16:04Speaker 7: fucking hippies seem to be so locked into this shit
- 1:16:08Speaker 7: that you call love. What do I mean by love?
- 1:16:12Speaker 7: I mean unconditional love? Is there such a thing as
- 1:16:15Speaker 7: unconditional love?
- 1:16:16Speaker 5: Yes?
- 1:16:16Speaker 7: I think it's possible between parents and children, certainly, and
- 1:16:21Speaker 7: at a stretch between adult men and adult women. I
- 1:16:25Speaker 7: do think it's possible. Call me an old fashioned fart.
- 1:16:28Speaker 7: But yes, actually, yes, I think a species with two genders,
- 1:16:34Speaker 7: two sexes, say, is going to enjoy having arguments with itself.
- 1:16:40Speaker 7: And that's enjoy it. Folks. We might be doomed, we
- 1:16:45Speaker 7: might not be long for this world, but damn it.
- 1:16:48Speaker 7: We were designed as a binary, an entity that can
- 1:16:54Speaker 7: conceive of two different directions, be it up or down,
- 1:16:58Speaker 7: black or white, ying or yang or so on. But
- 1:17:02Speaker 7: if all you can think is we need to empower
- 1:17:05Speaker 7: women but not men. If all you can think is
- 1:17:09Speaker 7: we need to give women more rights but not men,
- 1:17:13Speaker 7: then you have failed in your task of being a
- 1:17:20Speaker 7: sexual species you carry it. I believe it's called you
- 1:17:24Speaker 7: have failed in your ability to train your brain to
- 1:17:27Speaker 7: contemplate the existence of more than one thing. You are
- 1:17:32Speaker 7: a bacterium, and we are under no obligation to listen
- 1:17:36Speaker 7: to your bullshit. We are accumulated complexes of you. Yet we,
- 1:17:42Speaker 7: as you carry its, are accumulated complexes of you as
- 1:17:47Speaker 7: bacteria caepiche. I will assume you don't know what kuepiche means,
- 1:17:54Speaker 7: and I will leave it there. I will leave it
- 1:17:57Speaker 7: for the rest of my hony badge is to elaborate
- 1:17:59Speaker 7: what fuck I was saying that I need to spoke.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about elaborating anything, but I can
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: tell you one thing. It is not possible for men
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: to empower women. You can't do it, no matter how
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: hard you try, no matter how much work you put
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: into it, no matter how much uh leeway and space
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: and and uh money and and cow twing and whatever
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: else you're you're gonna give women that you give. It's
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. It And it's it might
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: have been a thing, you know, that was possible two
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: three hundred years ago, right, but it cannot happen today.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: It cannot be done now. It's not a possibility. So
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: don't even think about it. And there is a very
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: solid reason. And to explain what that solid reason is,
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: I have to explain to you some stupid thing I
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: did when I was a kid, and one of the
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: first seriously empowering things was in my life. I climbed everything.
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: When I was a kid. I climbed the trees in
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: the neighborhood, I climbed the monkey bars. I climbed the
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: backstop of the baseball diamond at the park down the
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: street from my house, UHF Tower, everything, my uncle Earl
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: like he was very tall. But in any case, that
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: was my thing, and my mom had made it very
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: clear that I was not to climb this one tree
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: in our backyard. It was a walnut tree. It was
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: between our house and the neighbor's house. It didn't have
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: room for a lot of roots spread, so the branches
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: were really small because it had one really long tap
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: root and a lot of small bits on it and
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: one really long trunk and a bunch of small branches.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: And so I wasn't supposed to climb that tree because
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: Mom figured the branches would break under my feet, and
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: of course I was all arrogant about it. Well, that
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: doesn't mean I will fall, you know, I'm a good climber.
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: I can handle that, right. So I went up there anyway,
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: and lo and behold, one of the branches broke, snapped
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: right off under my foot and I did not fall,
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: but the branch did. And on the branch were walnuts,
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: black walnuts. They have this husk around them that makes
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: them about the size of a baseball. And one of
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: them came off of the branch, bounced off of a
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: lower branch on the tree, and shot sideways at top speed.
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: Right into the neighbor's bathroom window, busted it wide open,
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: completely shattered most of the glass. And so there I was.
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: I broke the neighbor's window, and my mom saw the
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: whole thing out the kitchen window, so she knew I
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: was up there. She knew what I was doing. She
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: knew the whole story.
- 1:21:09Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: Uh, comes outside, asks me what happened, doesn't you know? Yeah,
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: start yelling at me right away, what happened.
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: You know?
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: And and then she asks me what I was doing.
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: So she basically made me take account of, you know,
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: of of what I had done and what the initial
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: consequence was to the neighbor. And then she said, well,
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: we better go over there. We gotta we gotta talk
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: to the neighbor. We gotta find out how much you're
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: gonna have to earn to pay for that window, which
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: was kind of a new thing, but in any case,
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: we get over there, and uh, the guy actually said
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: his insurance would cover it, and my mom went, no,
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: it won't. She's gonna work it off. She's gonna pay
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: for it because she broke it. And that's what I
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: ended up doing. I had regular chores to do, and
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: on top of it, I had my window fee earning chores,
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: and this was not negotiable that Mom wouldn't take insurance
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: will cover it for an answer, because she wanted me
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: to learn what I had done. And so I spent
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: weeks doing chores at minimum wage on top of my
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: regular chores to pay for this window and then once
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: I had earned the money, I had to take it
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: over and apologize again. And what that taught me was
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: that my actions matter, and not just the good ones.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: Like if I do something nice for somebody and I
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: get to feel good about it, that means if I
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: do something bad, I have to feel bad about it
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: right and I have to do something to make up
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: for it. When doing something bad has consequences for somebody else,
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: and you know, try to alleviate those consequences by taking
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: them onto myself in whatever way I can. And with
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: that I learned to be more careful with my actions
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: in each step where my parents or my grandparents, or
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: my aunts and my uncles, including the one that I
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: used to climb, taught me a lesson that boiled down
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: to your actions matter. What you do has impact on
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: other people besides yourself in the world around you, and
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: you should consider that before you act. That empowered me.
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: That empowered me to be a person who is more
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: likely to succeed at my endeavors the things that I
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: want to do, and more likely to have a successful
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: family in that we stay together, we remain close knit,
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: and we will always love each other and take care
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: of each other and care for each other because we
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: all have that understanding that our actions matter. You can't
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: tell modern women that I got to learn that before
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: the destruction of the idea that women's actions matter. I
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: was really lucky that I grew up when it was
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: still okay to teach your daughter that her actions mattered
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: and that she couldn't just do whatever the hell she
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: wanted and never worry about the consequences to other people,
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: to her community, to the world around her, and so on.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: But a lot of women either didn't get those lessons
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: when they were growing up, or they've dumped them because
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: they can and they can get away with it. So
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: you can't empower women because you can't encourage them to
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: recognize that their actions matter. Do you know what happens
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: when I go on Twitter or Facebook or any other
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: social media and try to encourage women to consider the
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: fact that their actions matter, that they have impact on
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: other people, and that that impact is important and they
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: should consider that impact before they take their actions. They
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: get mad, they get offended, They report me to the
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: authorities over the site to try to get me removed
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: because I'm such an offensive pest for having said, by
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: the way, your actions matter, the things you do, the
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: impact they have on other people, you're responsible for that,
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: and you should take that into consideration when you're making
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: your decisions and act accordingly. Just those words, just the
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: thing that is the basis for young men growing up
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: that when you recognize that you start to become an adult,
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: that women are so offended by, so allergic to that
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: they can't even have somebody who knows that on the
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: same website, the same social media that they are on.
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: They can't have it. So you can't empower. It's not
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: possible for you to empower women, because nobody can be
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: empowered if they don't think their actions matter, If they
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: don't think that their impact on the world around them
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: is important, and they don't think that they're responsible for
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: that impact and that they should consider that impact before
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: they take their actions, they can't be empowered. That is
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: your power. Accountability is your superpower. Women have abandoned it,
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: and then they don't understand why they're spinning their wheels,
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: and the only thing that you can do is let
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: them sink until they learn on their own to swim,
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: because they won't take that information from you your men,
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: and men are not allowed to give women advice, much
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: less to try to give women accountability. You would get
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: a how dare you not? A thank you?
- 1:27:51Speaker 7: So?
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: His advice insulting, you know, but also quite stupid. And
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: I hope that nobody follows it because it's going to
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: be a disaster for everybody that tries. Well that that's
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: pretty much all I've got to say on the matter.
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: Okay, all right then, well, good job from everybody, and
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: thanks for your thoughts on all of our stories today.
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: So we are now going to go into the Patron
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: Show and read through more of or hopefully the rest
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: of this Times article. It's really a Times article about
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: the quote unquote manisphere, and my interest in it is
