WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.040 Let's talk about luxurious victim wood. Weird phrase. It was 2 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.519 just scanning Facebook, and back in the days when I 3 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:15.560 used to work intermittently in Hollywood's everybody became Facebook friends. 4 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.480 And this is a person I had business discussions with, 5 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.480 and she, at this business meeting with a couple of us, 6 00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:28.519 announced herself to be a Champagne socialist. I thought that 7 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.920 was really interesting. I said, it's cool that you admit that. 8 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.159 She because I totally admit it. I'm a Champagne socialist. 9 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.920 And I said, why don't you just give it all 10 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.679 away and give it to the poor. She said, well, 11 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.520 then I wouldn't be able to help them, Okay, except 12 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.200 you have skills and connections in Hollywood. Yeah. But you 13 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.039 know what, I work hard as an advocate for people. 14 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.560 So it's really important that I play hard, which is 15 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.679 why my husband and I are going to Tahiti for 16 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:06.799 three weeks. Let's talk about luxurious victimhood. With the help 17 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:08.879 of God Almighty, Thank you Lord. 18 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.239 The Todd Herman show is one disapproved by big pharma 19 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:23.719 technocrats in tyrants everywhere from the highd Mountains of Free America. 20 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.200 Here's the Emerald City exime. 21 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:36.079 Todd Herman Today is the day the Lord has made, 22 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.519 and these are the times in which God has decided 23 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.840 we shall live. You don't know what you have until 24 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:50.000 you're around people who have nothing. And when you examine 25 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.519 the form of victimhood we're going to talk about today 26 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.920 and some of the symptoms there. And there's some actors 27 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.079 that come in under this heading of luxurious victimhood. One 28 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.879 of the actors we'll talk about today are smuggles, which 29 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.639 is a phrase I've invented for liberals who find themselves 30 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.719 in the unique position of being entirely unaffected from any 31 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:16.439 policy for which they advocate, and they have this form 32 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.400 of luxurious victimhood by attaching themselves to the people we 33 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.599 sort of talked about yesterday, the reverse Olensky tactic. Pick victim, 34 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:33.879 venerate them, make them the binary decision between moral goodness 35 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:38.639 and moral badness. So the anointed, the venerated victim groups, 36 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.879 they're this binary. You are on the good side or 37 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:47.159 the bad side. So the case of immigration, if you 38 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.520 do not see any nuance in the immigration discussion, it's 39 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.960 simply bad because orange man or brown people. Then you 40 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.240 are standing with people in a form of luxurious victimhood. 41 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.879 And there are people who are not going to be deported. 42 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:14.840 They're clearly United States citizens, sometimes four generations, five generations. 43 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.800 And the luxury of attaching yourselves to the venerated and 44 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.719 anointed new victim class is enjoining that you get to 45 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.439 have your victimhood, but you get to have your luxury. 46 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:37.000 Like this person in Hollywood who got to have her socialism, 47 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.199 and she and her husband got to maintain what at 48 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.879 the time, and I imagine it's more now worth three houses, 49 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:48.000 two two in Socow, one in San Diego, one in 50 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.919 Los Angeles. And I know that because she and her 51 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.639 husband mentioned that every time they talked trying to decide 52 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.520 which house to spend the weekend, and both of them 53 00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.240 are on the beach. It was just such a hard decision. 54 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.960 There's a video of a young woman, and let's let's 55 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.879 not do the thing where we're going to look at 56 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.919 her and think stupid. Let's do something else. Let's think 57 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:21.600 about how attractive luxurious victimhood is. When you've never really 58 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.000 been around anybody who has nothing, or you've never really 59 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.959 thought about what it is to have true meaning in 60 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.079 your life, you look at life as this is I'm 61 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:43.199 here and then I die and I'm gone and nothing 62 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.240 is remembered. So this is it. This is all it 63 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.959 will ever mean. So let's look at that from that perspective. 64 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.560 But then let's look at this with a critical, critical eye. 65 00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:01.480 Let's let's let's wind back a bit. What's the closest 66 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.800 you've come to meeting someone with nothing? And I mean nothing? 67 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.720 So because of places I've worked and things have done, 68 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.759 I got to know people who lived and slept in 69 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:21.319 parks or are sometimes in junk cars, and had a 70 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.480 guy teach me the hierarchy of homelessness. He had reached 71 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.800 the point there. He was an urban outdoor enthusiasts, is 72 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.600 what he called himself, a very clever guy named Dan. 73 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.519 He said, I'll never be a rubber bum. It's a 74 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.879 rubber bum, Dan, It's someone who sleeps in a junk car. 75 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.600 Why would you never be a rubber bum because rubber 76 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.279 bum is the last step to street bum. I'm never 77 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.560 going to become a rubber bum. And he taught me 78 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:50.319 this overnight when we were out playing guitar in the park, 79 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.240 my brother Matthew and I. And it was years later 80 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.680 that I ran into Dan, bleeding from a huge gash 81 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:07.480 in his forehead. Having soiled himself trying to sleep with 82 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.160 his back against the buildings so he could see people 83 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:16.959 coming to kick him in the face. Did nothing what 84 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:23.759 Dan owned Dan war and praise God, I had the 85 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.240 time and the resources to take him to the hospital. 86 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.199 Praise God. That's God gave me the resources to give 87 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.360 them money to try to fix him up physically. So 88 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.600 let's think about the last time you knew someone with nothing, 89 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:43.079 Because a lot of these people don't, so they take 90 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.319 all what they want to feel. They want to feel 91 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.439 their aligned with the venerated victim group. They don't want 92 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.959 to know the victims. They don't want to have any nuance. 93 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:54.399 They don't want to admit the fact that victimize people 94 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.319 are victimized. They don't want to admit the fact that 95 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:02.040 bad people use emotions like theirs to satan, to animate 96 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.279 them to advocate for policies of division and hatreds and 97 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.639 distortion and destruction. So I'll show you this tattooed young 98 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.800 woman here in just a quick quick second. I had 99 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.639 a friend of mine who was victimized by and we 100 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.319 don't even I don't think we know what it is 101 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.160 or what it was, but here are the symptoms. Is 102 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:30.560 leaning over to pick up her grand baby was incredibly painful, 103 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.480 this general sense of always being exhausted, of always being sore, 104 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.519 and she'd had what's the thing you get when you 105 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.399 have a tick lime disease, and for maybe he lime 106 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.600 disease is back, or you know, maybe it's it's not 107 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.720 being fully handled. And I know that's a very difficult 108 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.439 thing to handle. So she's a very very dear, very 109 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.600 close friend. She and her husband's and they came down 110 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.160 to Mexico with me. Now she's not in the new 111 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.600 tissue basing stage building stage from Renew Healthcare. She's not 112 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.639 there yet, but got the most encouraging report from her 113 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.879 last night. She went and walked forty four straight blocks 114 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.560 on concrete and then went home and was on her 115 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.000 feet for another six or eight hours for their Independence 116 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.800 Day event. They have this beautiful, beautiful home God's bestowed 117 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.839 upon them, and she woke up the next day without 118 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.759 any ill effects. She didn't feel any pain, any exhaustion. 119 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.519 And this is the first time in years this has happened, 120 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.279 and it's the result of the ethically gathered stem cells 121 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.080 from umbilical cords. At Renew Healthcare. They do things down 122 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.639 there that are illegal to do here, and they're illegal 123 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.039 because they're effective, and pharma doesn't want that. If you 124 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.039 are in any fordom pain or facing surgery, it may 125 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.639 not need to be that way. So go just ask. 126 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.480 They'll tell you if they can help you. It's renewed 127 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.200 r E n ue dot Healthcare, nue dot Healthcare. Do 128 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.759 not be victimized by the lives of the American Medical 129 00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.159 industrial associations. Renew dot healthcare. All right, So setting a stage, 130 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.440 The reason I grabbed this is because it made a 131 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:09.480 ton of imprints online, got very popular. And let's again 132 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:15.759 imagine the people you've met who have nothing. Okay, the 133 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.120 closest if you've ever met someone with nothing, get as 134 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.720 close as you can. And let's watch this. 135 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:26.120 Our country is going to s and I'm making tuna 136 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.559 salad right now, tuna salad. Our country is going to 137 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:38.440 I live miles miles from one concentration camp and I'm 138 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:39.440 making tuna. 139 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:50.559 Salad quick video, tens of thousands of views. So let's review. 140 00:09:53.159 --> 00:10:00.440 You can afford glasses that look like fashion lenses. You 141 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:09.720 can afford tattoos, you can afford piercings that doesn't look 142 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.480 like a rundown hotel to me or whether motel nor 143 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:19.000 does it look like a trailer. You can afford an iPhone, 144 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.519 I'm presuming that's an iPhone. You can afford internet access. 145 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:31.799 Your hair looks styled, your teeth look white. You don't 146 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:38.159 look like you've got scurvy sores. Your face looks well cleansed, 147 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.639 your skin well cared for. You don't look sun burnt 148 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:53.639 or sun leathered. You don't look famished. And incidentally, go 149 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:59.919 meet someone who has nothing and complain about your two 150 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.919 I invite you to do that. I invite you to 151 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:14.759 do that. Years ago, I was headed into the gym 152 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:22.639 and I came upon. I stopped to get gas and 153 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:27.320 some caffeine, and there was a woman there on this 154 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:34.080 one hundred and some degree day and she had nothing. 155 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.039 She had to close on her back, and she'd been 156 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:44.080 dropped off there by a man, someone she only knew 157 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:50.080 his first name. And I went into the store and 158 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.480 I brought her some Gatorway, but she had nothing. And 159 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:58.240 I'm saying it was one hundred and one degrees on concrete. 160 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.080 And if you've never seen someone take a thirty two 161 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.200 ounce Gatorade and suck it down because they know if 162 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:11.960 they don't. They're going to die. And this luxury, luxurious 163 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:17.600 victimhood this lady's displaying, this young woman. You can multiply 164 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:22.519 that up the chain to people who can afford their 165 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:28.360 victimhood by attaching themselves to the venerated groups. Now let's 166 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.240 extend this just a little bit more. My wife and 167 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:37.559 I before we were married, we lived in Utah and 168 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:43.000 she taught with a lady named Kathy. And I've always 169 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.879 been well since my dad introduced me to Native American culture. 170 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.840 My dad loved, fascinated with Native American culture, and that 171 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.279 made sense because actually when he grew up in Spokane Valley, 172 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:57.799 there were still people living the traditional way, and I 173 00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:01.759 mean in tpies and the sheriff still rode a horse. 174 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.279 I have a picture of my dad in a ditch 175 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.399 that they were digging the road. It's called Bowtish Road. 176 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.039 And anybody who lives in this bolcano, everever literaer will 177 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.840 know Boutish in the valley. That was the ditch prior 178 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.879 to there being a road, long before it ever having 179 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:24.360 been contemplated to have been paved. And my dad is 180 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.600 a little boy in the ditch, and I think he's 181 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.879 on some form of toy like bicycle or something, but 182 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.960 I know he's in the ditch and it's a picture 183 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:39.960 of his father and grandfather greeting the sheriff on his 184 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:46.440 horse with his sidearm, a six shooter. So my dad 185 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.559 grew up seeing people in these traditional ways, met some 186 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:52.679 of them, and he gave me this love of this 187 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.639 The first real book I ever read in my life, 188 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.559 real book was Burying My Heart at Wounded Knee, and 189 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:03.440 I was in fourth grade. So when you've met people 190 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.840 who have nothing, and you recognize this, and you see 191 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.080 these sort of venerated victim groups, and you see this 192 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.720 tattooed woman and you see her talking about her tuna 193 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:19.480 cat or she has to eat this tuna, and she's 194 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.919 attached themselves to this victims group. These are the venerated 195 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:30.559 victim groups. It rings really, really false when you've encountered 196 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.120 people whose lives have nothing. So my wife and I 197 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.960 we were talking about my fascination with Native Americans. It 198 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:45.080 turned in Kathy was I think three quarter and I'm 199 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:49.840 trying to remember. I believe she was Cherokee, and we 200 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.879 were at our house that my wife had purchased, and 201 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:54.840 she was my girlfriend at the time, and I had 202 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.000 no ability to buy a house. Only by the grace 203 00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:59.960 of God with my beloved wife do I have that. 204 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:06.360 And Kathy didn't know I had this fascination. And we 205 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.639 talked about internment camps because we had driven up to 206 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.600 some of the interment camps where they kept Japanese people. 207 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.720 And we were just having this discussion and Kathy said, 208 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.919 I don't talk about it a lot, but I had 209 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:25.559 to go to an Indian school. Okay, I know about 210 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:30.720 those And she said, no, you don't. No, you've read 211 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.519 about them, but you don't know about them. And this 212 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.679 is one of the things that we conservatives never discussed 213 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.240 because we pretend racism doesn't happen and never has. We 214 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:44.559 don't talk about the nuanced facts of American history because 215 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.120 we want to hide that from people. So we have 216 00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:50.279 doctorated out of society, you know, us as Christians and such, 217 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.039 we don't like, we don't like to talk about the 218 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.559 reality of what has been. So there is schools and 219 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.320 they were called Indian schools. And in those schools, kids 220 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.320 were shamed out of ever being Indian, beaten out of 221 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.519 being Indian, beginning with We're going to go ahead and 222 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.480 shave your head for you, and we're going to go 223 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:12.399 ahead and ban your speaking of your native tongue, and 224 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.200 we're going to go ahead and teach you that your 225 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:19.600 parents are trash, and we're going to force you to 226 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:25.320 say these things in the name of Jesus. So what 227 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.399 Kathy said is no, you've read about him, you don't 228 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:31.679 know them. And she was kind enough to share what 229 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:33.120 it was to have nothing. You know what, she had 230 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:45.480 three dresses, oh end, a hair brush, that's it. Everything 231 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:50.519 else was taken from her. She didn't have parents. Her 232 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.639 brothers were sent to a different Indian school for boys. 233 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:58.360 She didn't have brothers, She had nothing. Guess what. She 234 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:05.839 wasn't victim. She was about as joyful a person as 235 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:10.680 ever known. And I still remember her last name. Great teacher, 236 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.559 my wife is and was a brilliant teacher. Made sense 237 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:22.000 that they become friends. So let's think again, and let's 238 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.799 watch this one more time. But but but let's let's 239 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.640 think like our our long I mean, we haven't talked 240 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.559 to this lady since we left Utah, but let's think 241 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.559 like Kathy. Okay, when this lady gets to the point 242 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.759 about what she say, she lives next to some camps. 243 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:46.960 Our country is going to and I'm making tuna salad 244 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:51.839 right now, Tuna salad. Our country is going to I 245 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:58.440 live miles miles from one concentration camp, and I'm making 246 00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:59.839 tuna salad. 247 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:13.759 On the nights where Kathy was allowed to eat. I 248 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.960 bet you would have taken the tuna salad. Oh, and 249 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:25.519 then concentration camps. Can we talk about that if you 250 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.440 ever met anybody who's been in one, I mean an 251 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:35.279 actual concentration camp, not a deportation camp, which have existed 252 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:41.559 in America since America. These people are not being exterminated. 253 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:48.519 Praise God. There's no gas chambers, there's no work will 254 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:54.519 set you free. And yeah, I've met someone. I've met 255 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.640 a couple of people who were in the death camps, 256 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:03.680 and you know what, they weren't victims, not a one 257 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:11.880 of them. So this luxurious victimhood, it extends into political leaders, 258 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.319 people like Karen Bass, who is a full on Castro 259 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:25.240 socialist who is connected to and helped push actual it's 260 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:34.200 just hilarious, actual, violent, murderous instruction in our country. And 261 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:38.440 she gets to be a victim of sorts, living in luxury, 262 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.799 practicing luxurious victimhood. And I'll show you some of her 263 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:46.319 latest exploits in a second, and a luxury comes at 264 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:51.359 the cost, and your retirement comes at the cost. So 265 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.119 your retirement, if you're going to want to retire, it's 266 00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:02.559 just got tons more complicated tons because President Trump has 267 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:08.720 made the unbelievably disappointing decision to sign an executive order 268 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:13.319 waiving the magic executive pen allowing private equity into For 269 00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:18.799 one case, private equity is almost completely across the board 270 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:24.799 overvalued by forty to sixty percent, and the big companies 271 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.480 like Blackrock have been trying to dump their junk on 272 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.799 us forever, the junk that they understand their private equity 273 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:35.079 investments to be. And President Trump, in doing this is 274 00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.640 going to allow them to now go sell to Fidelity 275 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.279 and Schwab and all these other retail outfits, as the 276 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:46.559 figurehead would say, these roll ups of private equity deals. 277 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:48.640 And this is just like the housing market guys, in 278 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.720 my opinion, much more importantly in Zach Abraham's opinion, So 279 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.119 you need to get You have to attend Zach's free 280 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:58.480 live webinar coming up on the twenty fourth of this month. 281 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.799 He will I guarant you talk about this because guess 282 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:04.599 what once these things are in the hedge.

This 296 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.119 is a woman practicing luxurious victimhood. She's attached herself to 297 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.920 every venerated victim group. No nuance. It is the binary 298 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.160 moral standard for Americans. You're with the new victims or 299 00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.519 you're not. There is no buyer, there is no nuance, 300 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.200 no que questions. All in immigration enforcement is wrong when 301 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.200 Trump does it. All of it's right when Biden does 302 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:10.960 here she is obstructing federal immigration enforcement agents. Karen bass 303 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:24.440 I am my comments as they need to leave, and 304 00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:26.079 they need to leave right now. 305 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.359 They need to unaccepted. 306 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:40.799 Who do you speak on the phone? Wow? The head 307 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:44.799 of Customs she spoke with. And it is unprecedented than 308 00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.519 anything like this would go on in Los Angeles. And 309 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:54.319 this is at MacArthur Park, which is beautiful. I mean, 310 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:59.799 the trees are beautiful. Have you been to MacArthur Park? 311 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:09.720 I mentioned in regard to luxurious victimhood, I mentioned smuggrels. 312 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.960 So if you're a smuggrel, and I know smuggralism in Seattle, 313 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:20.240 and it's a phrase invented. It means people. It means 314 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:24.079 liberals who are uniquely unaffected by the policies they promote. 315 00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:26.680 So let me give you an example of smuggle them. 316 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:33.200 So you're smugglel You own a three story, four story 317 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:38.839 condo in West Seattle's strictly across the street from the beach. 318 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:44.440 And that portion of Seattle has hired private security because 319 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:46.880 there's been gang shootings and there's been people sleeping in 320 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.119 the beach. So that's over. That's god. Now they don't 321 00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:54.039 allow that there anymore. From the fourth floor, you can 322 00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:58.920 see all of Elliott Bay, you can see downtown Seattle. 323 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:04.319 You can even see out to the Olympic Peninsula. From 324 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:11.799 your luxury condo, you either uber in to Seattle or 325 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.960 you uber up to a train station, and at that 326 00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:19.960 train station, then you pop into a train and in 327 00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:25.839 ten minutes fifteen minutes you pull up next to you're 328 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:31.599 downtown workplace. Now, factually speaking, Amazon and Microsofts and companies 329 00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.160 like that have divested of downtown real estate. So maybe 330 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.519 your train rides a little longer, maybe it's thirty minutes, 331 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.720 or maybe you've just rented out that condo or airbnbat 332 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:46.960 it or vrbo'ed and bought another. You in the train 333 00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:52.279 go past some wilderness area and there's the canopy of 334 00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:56.079 the trees, and yet maybe you can see, yeah, there's 335 00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:58.599 some cars down there, and maybe they should clean that up, 336 00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:02.000 and ecologically that looks really bad and oh gosh, you know, 337 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.319 maybe that's getting into the water table. And so that 338 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.640 kind of that thought kind of fleetingly comes to you 339 00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:08.839 as you're on your phone and you're working or playing 340 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:12.359 your games or whatever, and you go through downtown Seattle 341 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.160 and yeah, there's some graffiti and such and maybe the 342 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.440 hillside around the hospital there where the train goes, maybe 343 00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.799 that looks a little CD, but you don't really see it. 344 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.359 You're not affected by it's not going to harm you. 345 00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:25.799 You go from a secure area in a secured building 346 00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:28.960 with private security guarding it, to a secure area in 347 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:31.279 a secured building with private security guarding it, and then 348 00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:35.279 you go and vote for more money for homelessness because 349 00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:38.480 they have been in the Settle Area, the Venerated Victim 350 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.440 Group for years. They are the binary measure of human morality. 351 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.920 You either want money for homelessness or you are an 352 00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:52.400 evil person who hates homeless people and wants to eat them. Now, 353 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:58.799 if you ever have that train stop, say there's an 354 00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:03.440 emergency and they have to take you off that train, 355 00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:08.920 and you get out of the train around that wilderness 356 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.279 area talked about the tree canopies, you're going to smell 357 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:17.880 pardon my language, piss and the other stuff. And it 358 00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:22.720 is ripe, and you can tell right away. It's the 359 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:27.079 scent of sugar and flavored alcohols. And I don't know 360 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:32.119 if you've ever seen heroin feces, but it's a special 361 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:37.119 brand of gross. And if you have to walk down 362 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:39.359 that hill to get to an uber. Since the train 363 00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:43.759 is elevated, you're going to end up walking through places 364 00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:49.519 where people are sleeping in their own defecation, with stolen 365 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.440 propane tanks all over the place, which is a massive 366 00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:54.680 fire hazard, and it is in fact nearly blown up bridges. 367 00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:57.799 You're going to see all this stuff and it is 368 00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:59.920 never going to come to you that I funded that, 369 00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:05.319 because you're going to pop back up on the train 370 00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.920 or get in the uber and go to work and think, Bam, 371 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:12.119 we're not funding this enough. Because you've never talked to 372 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.359 a person. How did you get here? How is it 373 00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.960 that you live this way? And if you've never had 374 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.279 the conversation I had with a Dan Rickard, Yeah I 375 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:31.480 remember Dan's name. You'll never know. You'll think, And when 376 00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:36.160 you are part of the smuggrel class, the less thinking 377 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.240 you do, the better. They don't want you to think. 378 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:43.720 That's why the venerated victim groups are venerated. You either 379 00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:45.839 want money for homelessness or you hate them and you 380 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.920 want to eat them. You either think all immigration raids 381 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.240 are wrong, or you want to see all black and 382 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:58.240 brown people tossed into the camps, the Holocaust camps as 383 00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:03.119 this lady, says young woman. So our friend Chris Bray, 384 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.039 who lives in Los Angeles, wrote a piece called The 385 00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:09.880 Great Relearning and some Notes from other Places, and in 386 00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:15.039 it he talks about some history of MacArthur Park. Turns 387 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:21.359 out there's some historical references to MacArthur Park and federal 388 00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:29.599 raids that somehow didn't make it in to the current 389 00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.079 efforts of the Mockingbird media to promote the venerated class, 390 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:43.039 because the Mockingbird media enjoys what luxurious victimhood, because they're 391 00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:49.000 advocating for the little people. And this is a very 392 00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.119 vivid Alex put this together, combining a couple of things, 393 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:58.119 and it's and look, images tell stories really well, there's 394 00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:00.559 a story coming. Well it's out now and you can 395 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.279 watch it. But you're gonna have to do something really, 396 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.799 really really cool. You have to do something really cool. 397 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:10.599 You're gonna need to join the Angel Studio Premium Guild 398 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.960 membership at angel dot com. Slash Todd and I want 399 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:17.200 you to hear this story. It's called Testament. And this 400 00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:19.960 Angel could have easily done the Book of Acts with 401 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:23.160
