WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:08.599 Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of the 2 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.759 Cajun Night Live. I am your host, the Cajun Night 3 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.759 Jacob Mook. We're gonna start off talking about some intergalactic things, 4 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.160 then we're gonna move into some foreign affairs. Then we're 5 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.839 gonna talk about some American homeland. A lot of things, 6 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.480 a lot of things on pack right now, So I'm 7 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:27.079 gonna go ahead and share the screen. We're gonna get 8 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.480 started without any further ado. I do want to apologize 9 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:31.839 to everybody for the late start on this evening, but 10 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.600 I do appreciate y'all for joining in. Y'all are some 11 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.159 devoted members of the Cajun Night retinue, and I love 12 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.000 you all individually and as a collective. For anybody who 13 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.880 would like to join in the conversation next Wednesday at 14 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.399 nine pm Central, because we do it pretty punctually at 15 00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.560 nine pm, with the rarest of exceptions that I need 16 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.039 election time, then go to the link in the description 17 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.679 below to the Cajun Night on Patreon. There's only one 18 00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.439 tier for entry, five dollars tier, and we're growing this 19 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.280 to be the information sharing group that it has become. 20 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.799 And I love every Wednesday night we get to do this. 21 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.239 It's so fun. As always, everybody, if you have something 22 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.120 that you would like to bring into the conversation, send 23 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.120 it to the comment section and I will pull it 24 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.239 up at the end. Or if it plays into something 25 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.120 that I have pulled up, you know to do. Raise 26 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.879 the hand and let's open dialogue this thing. Now. To 27 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.519 start off, we're gonna go to ABC News here. Apparently 28 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.280 the Atlas object, so I'm not even sure if we 29 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.439 can call it a comet or a meteor or a 30 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.079 spaceship or whatever. Okay, Apparently they lost sight of it 31 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.359 a couple of weeks ago because of some sort of 32 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.239 a I don't want to say a solar flare, but 33 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:44.359 some sort of a galactic flare or something made it 34 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.200 go invisible to our instrumentation and our equipment. Now, all 35 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.920 of a sudden they have caught a glimpse of it 36 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.319 as it passed by Mars, and they are speculating here, 37 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.200 of course, if it's gonna hit Earth. Now, before I 38 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.480 play the video that is attached to this article, no 39 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.480 expert believes that it's going to strike Earth. But yes, 40 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.519 there is a greater than zero percent chance that anything 41 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.280 ever can happen. So they're gonna do that for the clickbait. 42 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.520 And I get that they're calling it the city killer asteroid, 43 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.840 and yes they are talking about the three I Atlas. 44 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:17.919 But apparently it went out of sight for a bit. 45 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.840 And now they just caught a glimpse of it as 46 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.280 it passed by Mars, so they know for sure that 47 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.360 it is still inbound and they're gonna be able to 48 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.120 get a really good look at it the closer it 49 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.840 gets to Earth without further ado. Let's listen to the 50 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.840 ABC News cast talk about it. 51 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.560 We turned out to the asteroid being called a city killer. 52 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.240 There's a chance it could hit Earth. 53 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:38.759 It's happened before. 54 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.919 An asteroid hitting Earth, this one in Russia in twenty thirteen, 55 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.439 injuring more than one thousand people. Now, scientists say an 56 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.240 asteroid discovered in December has a chance of striking our planet. 57 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.039 It was named twenty twenty four. 58 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.080 Why are four? 59 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.960 So I'm calling it a potential city killer. It could 60 00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:59.520 hit in late twenty thirty two. 61 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.960 Looking at about a three percent chance that it hits 62 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.159 the Earth. If it hit a city, it would have 63 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.080 completely obliterate a very large city. 64 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.319 It's up to three hundred feet wide, the size of 65 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:09.159 a large building. 66 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.560 If it was to hit, it would have an energy 67 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.599 of between about five mega tons of TNT and about 68 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.360 fifteen mega tons of TNT, which is a very big range. 69 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:24.199 This thing is probably in the range of call it 70 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.280 a thousand times five hundred two, one thousand times larger 71 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.719 than the bomb dropped over Hiroshima. 72 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.960 Astronomers have only a limited time to observe the asteroid 73 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.000 before it fades from view next. 74 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.240 Month, and then maybe the James Webb Space Telescope will 75 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.680 take its shot at looking at this object. We'll get 76 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.840 a much better idea of its size. Those observations will 77 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.319 really pin down its orbit. 78 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.159 In twenty twenty eight is when it comes back closer 79 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.879 to the Earth. That will be our chance to more 80 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.000 than likely say for sure whether or not it's going 81 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:55.599 to hit the Earth. 82 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.120 NASA recently had success using a spacecraft to knock an 83 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.159 asteroid off course during a test. Such a mission would 84 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.919 need to be done years in advance of a potential impact. 85 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.400 For now, scientists don't seem too worried. 86 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:08.280 It's a pretty good. 87 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:09.960 Chance that it's going to hit in the ocean or 88 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.280 someplace uninhabited in which case we just get to see a. 89 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.000 Great light show, the potential impact would likely be somewhere 90 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.680 in South America or the Middle East. 91 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.959 Okay, so all of that to be said, three hundred 92 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.920 foot wide, most of that would get burned up in 93 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.040 the atmosphere before it actually hit the ground. So I 94 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.560 don't know, I don't know, but we should be on 95 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.480 the lookout for that one in twenty thirty two, you know, 96 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.279 if we're all still alive by that point. But I 97 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:41.720 guess we'll find out anyway. Here we go. Astronomers just 98 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.240 caught a rare glimpse of an interstellar comet as it 99 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.199 zoomed past Mars. Images of the object, dubbed three I 100 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.399 at lists, were captured by two of the European Space 101 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.560 Agency Mars orbiters XO Mars and Mars Express, which we're 102 00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.800 able to record the comment as an approached the red 103 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:03.279 planet on octob According to the ESA, both cameras are 104 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.519 designed to photograph the bright surface of Mars, which lies 105 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.720 fewer than two hundred miles below. Scientists were unsure what 106 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.800 to expect from the observations of a relatively dim target 107 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.040 so far away. The space agency said, so this is 108 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.319 the image right it is this bright light. Right here 109 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.000 is the image of Atlas as it passed in front 110 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.399 of Mars' surface. So although they kind of lost sight 111 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.519 of it, we know for sure it is still inbound. 112 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.000 So at least we have that going. The observation of 113 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.600 three I Atlas was very challenging for the camera because 114 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.519 the comet is about ten thousand to one hundred thousand 115 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.920 times fainter than their usual targets, said Nick Thomas, the 116 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:44.160 principal investigator at the Cassis camera, in a statement. The 117 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.959 comment was about eighteen point six million miles away from 118 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.920 the orbiters when the image was taken. According to the ESA, 119 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.680 the cameras were able to capture the center of the comet, 120 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.240 which is comprised of an icy rocky nucleus and is 121 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.439 surrounded by a comma, which is the fuzzy halo of 122 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.680 gas and that forms around its nucleus. The comet is 123 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.160 one of the one of only three interstellar objects ever 124 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.319 recorded entering our Solar system. Going on it says it 125 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.160 was first spotted on July first by the Asteroid Terrestrial 126 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:20.000 Impact Last Alert System in Rio Hurtado, Chili. Astronomer's hypothesized 127 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.519 that it could be the oldest comet ever observed, a 128 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.079 core estimating its age at three billion years older than 129 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.600 the Solar System. That's pretty insane out loud, but yeah. 130 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.560 Scientists announced last month that the comet is much larger 131 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.160 than previously thought, likely weighing more than thirty three billion tons, 132 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.600 with the nucleus mostly comprised of carbon dioxide, gas and 133 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.279 water ice. I don't know why they would just say 134 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.319 like water ice. Well, I guess in space a lot 135 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.279 of different things can freeze, so I guess you'd have 136 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.519 to get that nomenclature. Heat and radiation from the Sun 137 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.759 is bringing the comet to life, causing the object to 138 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:01.199 release gas and dust that form the comet's comma. It's 139 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.920 spelled like coma, but I think it is pronounced comma, 140 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.199 The Space Agency said in November. ESA astronomers will observe 141 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.920 three i at lists through its Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer 142 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:17.720 aka Juice, which that's that's kind of cool, as it 143 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.040 makes its closest approach to the Sun. Scientists will continue 144 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.680 to analyze data from the ESA orbiters to determine exactly 145 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.160 what the comet is made of, though our Mars orbiters 146 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.000 continue to make impressive contribution to Mars science. It's always 147 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.000 extra exciting to see them responding to an unexpected situation 148 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.720 like this one, said Colin Wilson, Mars Express and Exo 149 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.160 Mars Project scientists at ESA, in a statement, I look 150 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.639 forward to seeing what the data reveals following further analysis. 151 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.800 So again, there's nothing to worry about with the three 152 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.959 I Atlas comet or object or whatever. People are saying 153 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.360 that it's going to be, but it is getting closer 154 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.120 to Earth and it will be really cool whenever it 155 00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.600 gets close enough for us to get a good look 156 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.360 at it later this month, if I'm not mistaken, they 157 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.319 were saying that it was going to be sometime around 158 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.240 end of October beginning of November. Whenever it makes its 159 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.319 way around the Sun and shoots off the other direction, 160 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.240 that will actually be able to get a decent look 161 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.959 at it. And I'm excited just for the you know, 162 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.360 I know some people that listen to the cult of 163 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:19.800 conspiracy are of the belief that space is not a 164 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.279 real thing, not here to have that conversation on the 165 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.240 cage to night for my own personal beliefs, I am 166 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.240 really excited to see this. I think it's cool, you know, Anyway, 167 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.799 moving on to the next topic of discussion, still sticking, 168 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.120 and we're going to start with the international side of things. 169 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.440 I don't know how many people have been paying attention 170 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:43.720 to celebrity news. Myself. I don't particularly care about it 171 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.960 that much, you know. It's just it's one of those 172 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.360 things that the celebrities and what they have going on 173 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.440 to their day to day life very rarely ever actually 174 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:59.759 affect my thought process. Ever, however, Katie Perry and Justin 175 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.639 True are dating. I don't know if anybody was aware 176 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.440 of that. But this isn't a tabloid news although this 177 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.080 one's from Cosmopolitan, there are multiple news sources that are 178 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.200 talking about their relationship. So in this Cosmopolitan article, we're 179 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.080 not gonna read the whole thing because, to be honest 180 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.440 with you, I feel brain cells dying as I was 181 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.879 even reading it to do research for this. But we're 182 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.919 gonna hit the cliff notes of it real quick. Right 183 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.639 August twenty or August third of tw twenty twenty three, 184 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:33.159 Justin and his wife Sophie announced their separation after eighteen 185 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.679 years of marriage. All right, cool. Moving On July third, 186 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.519 twenty twenty five, after weeks of rumors Katie and Orlando 187 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.480 Bloom confirmed their relationship is over. Okay, so they gave 188 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.320 a statement to US Weekly.

Okay, so that means it's not that pictures 193 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.720 of the same dinner outing. It's obviously of a different outing. 194 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.120 So at least twice they went out for dinner. July 195 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.080 twenty ninth, The Sun manages to get a hold of 196 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.120 not one, not two, but of Justin Trude's close associates, 197 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.720 who are more than happy to spill and there's things 198 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.279 that they learned about. Long story short, there's a list. 199 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.000 There is a eighteen or i'm sorry, sixteen point list 200 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.120 of what the homies of Justin Trudeau are saying about 201 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.399 this and long story short, they really are into each other. Shocker. 202 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.480 July thirtieth, Justin has spotted watching Katie perform and sings 203 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.559 along with Fireworks. We're not going to play the video 204 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.639 because we all know the song. But there's Justin Trudeau 205 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:44.039 out of Katy Perry concert July thirty. First Insider says 206 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.159 Katie's friends are worried about her dating Justin. So even 207 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.879 Katie's friends are like, yo, you sure you want to 208 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:55.080 date that guy? August eighteenth, Long story short, long story short. 209 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:59.320 They go on September fifteenth, October fourth. They're keeping their 210 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.279 relationship quiet as of this moment. But it's also worth 211 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:09.720 mentioning that, yes, Justin Trudeau and Katie Perry, the bastard 212 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:16.039 son of Fidel Castro and the quote unquote first woman 213 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.639 to ever sing a song in space, which that's a 214 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:23.879 whole conversation in and of itself, are now making moves 215 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:28.039 to become a couple. I think that's hilarious. And you know, 216 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.200 just one of those things. Now, as we're sticking on 217 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:36.600 the topic of the celebrities, actors, singers and things of 218 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.960 that nature, how many of you have heard of the 219 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.240 AI actor Tillie Norwood. If you haven't, let me tell 220 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.919 you about her. Tilly Norwood is an actress that is 221 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.519 going to start making more and more appearances and movies 222 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.879 and TV shows. Here's the little thing about her. She's 223 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:57.279 not a real person. She is an AI generated actress. 224 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:02.840 And she it AI has been getting some very decent 225 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:09.159 contracts for some upcoming motion pictures and actors and actresses 226 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:14.879 are pissed about it. I know, shocker, And in one sense, 227 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:21.440 I couldn't care less about these overprivileged actors getting upset 228 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:23.480 that AI is about to take their job. We all 229 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.000 saw it coming a mile away, right, I mean, even 230 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.360 though was it last year or the year before the 231 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.840 Hollywood writers strike happened and all of these movie companies 232 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.080 decided to just use AI models, and they came out 233 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:42.840 with really good scripts, arguably better than what the overprivileged 234 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.960 Writer's Guild of Hollywood was able to produce. And then 235 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.879 they realized, man, we're striking to make more money, but 236 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.840 we are very replaceable by a chatbot. And then they 237 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.039 shut down the strike and a lot of these movie 238 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.159 companies decided, you know, we might hire you back. But honestly, 239 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.960 we have seen the light and AI is just cheaper 240 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.120 and doesn't require X amount of dollars, and it doesn't 241 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.200 require off days. And if we tell it to change things, 242 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:11.840 it's not gonna bitch and moan about it. It's just 243 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:13.799 gonna change it and do what we want. So we 244 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.480 already saw the writing on the walls that AI was 245 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.679 going to be taking over a lot of the entertainment space. 246 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:24.519 Now we absolutely have an AI actress and the thing 247 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.559 is going by the name Tilly Norwood. There's a BBC 248 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.279 article before I read it. Go ahead, Royce, what is 249 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:30.799 your thoughts? 250 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.480 So there is a lot of traction about that. And 251 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.919 by the way, so I just sent an article a few. 252 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:42.320 Minutes ago about a nice AI robot that is very, 253 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:46.960 very realistic and should probably get people in nightmares. So 254 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.320 after you read that, so it'll be fun to read 255 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.279 that article and watch that small clip. 256 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:52.519 Of the video. 257 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.519 Okay, matter of fact, before I do that, let me 258 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.840 go ahead and pull up that clip so I can 259 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.240 get it all cued up and ready to go. Let's see. Yep, 260 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:09.399 got it, and uh redirect notice Oh times India. Oh no, 261 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.960 not the Kung Fu robot. Oh yeah, okay, yep. No, 262 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:18.600 We're gonna talk about what a time to be alive. 263 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.000 Good ladies and gentlemen. 264 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:21.440 This is. 265 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.519 Unprecedented times that we are living in. It's not like 266 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.679 there was movies made about this for you know, years 267 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:35.000 or anything. Go ahead, Sam, everybody was Kung Fu five time. 268 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:40.360 No, but fuck Sky in it. 269 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.279 Yeah, no, it's it's coming more and more every day. 270 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:46.360 And for some reason people still think AI is like 271 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.159 so great, it's mind blowing to me. 272 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:51.799 So would it be a felony if I did an 273 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.320 e MP and like if I if I tasted a 274 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.639 fucking clanker in nineteen years? Oh wait, I can't say that. 275 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.039 That's a show to the auto official bullshit. 276 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.440 Na listen, bro, the gearbacks are not sentient, allegedly, and 277 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.279 there wasn't that case. There was that case in Florida. 278 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.720 That kid, that high school kid was talking to the 279 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:14.279 AI chat boy and it pretty much told him to 280 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:15.840 offer himself. So he did. 281 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.039 He gave how to do it painlessly, and so the 282 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.879 parents tried to sue the company and the company. 283 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.720 The AI company tried saying no, that wasn't us. The 284 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:27.840 AI is sentient. It's its own thing and it has 285 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.320 its own First Amendment rights that's separate from the company. 286 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.960 And the state government of Florida said no, no, it's 287 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.639 not sentient. It's a robot that you program. You're on 288 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.519 the hook for this kid's death. So to answer your question, 289 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.440 no EMP attack on an AI bod. I'm here for it. 290 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:48.440 I personally think what. I think they fucked up. 291 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.120 We they let loose Pandora's box and there ain't no 292 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:51.879 going back. 293 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.840 So no, it's it's because of the ease of it, right, 294 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.159 So many humans are willing to take the easy way 295 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.679 out any given time. So AI is scene is just 296 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.519 like the easiest thing, So why wouldn't we use it more? 297 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.840 And so many people can't understand that this is leading 298 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.279 to their own demise. It's it's it's impressive and sad. 299 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.639 People were glad people gave you up their entire body 300 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.679 anatomy uh for COVID, But they would sit there and say, 301 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.360 my body, my choice, except when it comes to COVID 302 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:25.519 and they're like, you have to do this. What happened 303 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:26.039 to body? 304 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.440 Uh? An? 305 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:34.720 And I got you? Uh wait yeah, I see your Royce. 306 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.720 You were about to say something to you. Oh no nothing, okay, 307 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.120 yeah body autonomy? Is that what you were saying, Raven? 308 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.519 Yes, body autonomy. 309 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:48.679 I thought he was saying anonymity, like like anonymous you know, like. 310 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.360 When you you you have control of your own bodies autonomy. 311 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:53.759 Yeah. 312 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.559 Yeah. 313 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.240 Whenever I think that, I think of automaton, which is 314 00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:59.919 another word for a robot. 315 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.159 Give it we're gonna be talking about that one next. 316 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.400 Royce just sent us the link for that one, but 317 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:07.119 put a pin in that one. Let's get into this 318 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.160 one first. So again, this is a BBC article. Emily 319 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.480 Blunt is among the Hollywood stars outraged over the AI 320 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:20.319 actor Tillie Norwood. It's great. An AI actor named Tilly 321 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.400 Norwood has been causing a stir after its Dutch creator 322 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:29.240 said the synthetic performer is in talks with talent agencies. Yes, 323 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:36.279 that is correct. The AI bot, the automated, not real thing, 324 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.799 is now being sought after by talent agencies above actual 325 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:46.759 flesh and blood actors and actresses. We're at that point, y'all. 326 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.480 Twenty twenty five is a weird year. Norwood could be 327 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.759 mistaken for a young, aspiring actress when one glances at 328 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.640 its social media. Yeah, the AI bought as a social 329 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.680 media presence. By the way, the brunette poses for photos 330 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.480 and show cases a fully AI generated generated comedy sketch 331 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.240 where it is described as having girl next door vibes. 332 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.640 Because that's not creepy. I may be AI, but I'm 333 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:14.039 feeling very real emotions right now, Tilly's creator wrote on 334 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.440 her page I'm so excited for what's coming next. That's 335 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.880 a quote. Hollywood is not rolling out the red carpet. 336 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:24.079 It's powerful Actors Union IS has condemned the creation, along 337 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.400 with a list stars like Emily Blunt, Natasha Leone, and 338 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:31.559 Whoopy Goldberg. Which I'm sorry, Whoopy, you haven't been relevant 339 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.519 for years. You weighing in on this one is something 340 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:39.920 that literally no one, negative, anyone actually asked for. And 341 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:45.319 you haven't been an actor since maybe we could say 342 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.039 Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella. You were a voice actor for 343 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:57.920 the Lion King movies, you know, sister Mary Clarence, Like, 344 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:03.359 I don't know, It's it's very yeah. Anyway, Norwood is 345 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.720 not an actor. It's a character generated by a computer 346 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:10.960 program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers. 347 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.240 The Screen Actors guilled. American Federation of Television and Radio 348 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:20.079 Artists or SAG said in a statement, it has no 349 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.960 life experience to draw from, no emotion, and from what 350 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.039 we've seen, audiences aren't interested in watching computer generated content 351 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:33.440 untethered from the human experience. The union said, I would 352 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:38.000 have to respectfully disagree. There is billions of people that 353 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:42.039 are watching AI generated YouTube videos on mass and those 354 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.279 are getting millions of views. So again, moving on. The 355 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.480 AI actor was created by Dutch actor and comedian Aleen 356 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.319 vander Velden. Well that's a mouthful, who reportedly said she 357 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:58.400 wanted Norwood to become the next Scarlett Johansson. The BBC 358 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.359 has reached out to vander Velden and her company, Particle six. 359 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:07.640 Norwood's Instagram page includes headshots from faux filming tests and 360 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.599 an advertisement spoofing programs on the BBC, including being superimposed 361 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:16.200 on the often star studed couch on BBC's The Graham 362 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:19.920 Norton Show. Amid the anger and backlash in Hollywood, the 363 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.039 Dutch creator posted on Tilly's Instagram page to say that 364 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.599 the creation is quote not a replacement for a human being, 365 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.279 but a creative work, a piece of art. Creating Tilly 366 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.279 has been for me an active imagination and craftsmanship, not 367 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:38.200 unlike drawing a character, writing a role, or shaping a performance, 368 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.160 vander Velden wrote, adding such creations should be judged as 369 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.400 part of their own genre rather than compared to the 370 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:50.440 human race. So here we see a list of people 371 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.279 in Hollywood who are on strike, and that's the Writer's 372 00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.640 Guild strike. Remember no to AI all these things, and 373 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.440 then they had to back off because you know that 374 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.720 was a really dumb idea. Anyway, AI has been hotly 375 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.160 contested technology in Hollywood and was a key sticking point 376 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.359 during the labor strikes that shut down the industry two 377 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.119 years ago, as writers and actors demanded protections from the technology. 378 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:19.160 In this statement on Norwood, SAG reminded agencies and studios 379 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.559 that using Norwood in projects could pose issues for contractual 380 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.440 protections they secured after the twenty twenty three strike. It 381 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.759 doesn't solve any problem. It creates the problem of using 382 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.559 stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardizing performer 383 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:38.880 livelihoods and devaluing human artistry, the union said. Actress and 384 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:43.119 filmmaker Natasha Leone, known for her leading role in Poker Face, 385 00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:46.680 Orange is the New Black and Russian Doll, said anyone 386 00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:57.519 who works with Norwood should be boycotted. I'm sorry, this 387 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:01.720 is great, this is great. So you're telling me the 388 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:07.319 AI chatbot is gonna make hundreds of millions, that's our money. No, 389 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.880 not if you can be replaced by an AI bot. 390 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.480 Sounds like you need to get a better craft anyway, 391 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:20.400 Moving on, any talent agency in this that engages in 392 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.640 this should be boycotted by all guilds. Leone who is 393 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:28.759 currently working with Ethical AI to create a feature film 394 00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:35.359 that stars real actors. So she's using AI while shitting 395 00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.839 on AI because I understand one of the chat bot 396 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:43.000 one's a image. AI is AI is AI. I'm sorry. 397 00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:44.960 If you're using it for one thing, it's only a 398 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:46.920 matter of time before it gets used for other things too. 399 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:50.079 So she's just mad that she is getting cut out 400 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.440 and that human actors and actresses are gonna get cut 401 00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.079 out of the deal. That's all they're pissed about. That 402 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.839 they're gonna lose out all money and acting opportunities, and 403 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:01.799 this is just kind of the way the future is 404 00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.000 gonna shake out. So, I mean, it is what it is. 405 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.559 She says, it is deeply misguided and totally disturbed again 406 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:13.400 as she is using AI for writing when she was 407 00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:17.519 a part of the screen guilder's boycotting that was almost 408 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:20.759 replaced completely by AI. But you know, hey, what do 409 00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:24.039 I know? Fellow actress Emily Blunt, speaking on a podcast 410 00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:27.920 with Varieties, said the creation was terrifying. That's an Ai. 411 00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.559 Good lord, we're screwed. And this is a Nomina Oscar 412 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.240 nominated actress, and she said this when she was shown 413 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:38.000 a video of Norwood that is really really scary. Come on, agencies, 414 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:40.559 don't do that. Please stop, please stop taking away our 415 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:46.440 human connection. Most actors and actresses have no human connection. 416 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:50.319 They are so detached from what the rest of the 417 00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.599 human race actually is experiencing in their day to day lives. 418 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:56.680 Not all, not all. There are some that truly keep 419 00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:59.799 themselves grounded. I'm not just taking this opportunity to shit 420 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:02.079 on every single person that makes their money in front 421 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:05.319 of a camera and rehearsing lines and things, but I'm 422 00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:09.960 gonna say that ninety nine percent of them are completely 423 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.119 detached from reality. Honestly, look at uh what was named Jervas. 424 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.319 Look at Jervas's speech when he was hosting the Oscars 425 00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:24.000 two years ago, maybe three. That is a truth. And 426 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.599 that is why when he made these stabs at all 427 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:28.960 these actors, there was only a handful of them that 428 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:31.119 were laughing at it, and the rest of them were like, 429 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.400 ooh oh, And He's like, I don't care, I'm not 430 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:35.839 doing this again, screw you. So I mean, I'm just 431 00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:39.200 I'm throwing it out on the US chat show The 432 00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:44.319 View comedian and actress. Barely either of those things are accurate. 433 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:47.839 When discussing will be, Goldberg said audiences can tell the 434 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:51.359 difference between humans and synthetic performers. She was skeptical over 435 00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:54.400 concerns that AI creations would steal jobs for human actors 436 00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:57.839 because they moved differently. Our faces moved differently, our bodies 437 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:04.119 move differently. Yeah A, now, given another two years of ingenuity, 438 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:05.759 and you're not gonna be able to tell the difference. Hell, 439 00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.680 you could barely tell the difference anymore these days. While 440 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:11.720 Norwood's Instagram has been active for months, her existence gained 441 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.599 notoriety in Hollywood this week after trade publication Deadline reported 442 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.200 on a summit her creator presented at in a Zurich 443 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.000 over the weekend. Vandervelden discussed her AI production studio and 444 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.359 her new AI talent agency x Koya probably mispronounced that 445 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:31.160 on Saturday, according to Deadline, and suggested that Hollywood studios 446 00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:34.759 and agencies were embracing AI under the radar, which they are. 447 00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:37.759 She told the crowd they should expect public announcements about 448 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:42.960 high profile projects using the technology in the coming months. Yes, 449 00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.839 this is accurate, this is real life. Sam, your handile 450 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:50.039 was raised first, Go ahead, well, speaking about the AI 451 00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:54.359 and all that, Okay, So it's. 452 00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:56.720 An episode, not an episode, but a short. 453 00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:59.880 I was watching because I watched JD Delay and there's 454 00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:03.000 ay he's been taking pictures of dead kids like off 455 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.519 of Facebook, like infants and all, and been making child 456 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.279 porn of them and blackmailing the parents and said if 457 00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:11.519 you don't give me money, I'm not gonna take it down. 458 00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:16.119 And apparently JD's the one who uh reported him to 459 00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:19.079 the FBI, but I can't remember the guy's name. Just 460 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:23.039 be aware that AI. While yes, it can be easy, 461 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:27.880 it's also Lily Satan's fucking play pin oh. 462 00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:31.640 And not even going towards the worst of humanity as 463 00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:34.880 far as like child porn is concerned, people using AI 464 00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:39.680 just to make porn. There's there's tons name any Disney princess. 465 00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.839 There is AI porn of that Disney princess right now, 466 00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.759 and it looks very real. People are watching that on 467 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.480 mass more than they're watching regular shit. It's bro It 468 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:53.680 is a very very distorted Johnny Catch time to be alive. 469 00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:57.799 So elevon South Korea Johnny Somali is facing life in 470 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:04.400 prison because he was so Korea they are very strict 471 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:08.400 on AI and they're very strict on uh, indecent exposure, 472 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:12.599 porn and all because the Asian While yes, Asians they 473 00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.759 do with ship with with Octopi and all, Yes, granted, 474 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:21.440 but no, Johnny Simony made a deep fakes of one 475 00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.279 of the Korea's like top stars and he is facing 476 00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.640 uh a lot of years for it, and personally I 477 00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:34.880 kind of hope he does get the book thrown at him. 478 00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:36.599 Oh no, And like you're saying, this is just the 479 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:39.559 dark side of AI, just off the rip, not even 480 00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:43.440 talking about what it could do as far as replacing actors, 481 00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:47.720 actresses even of the of the regular Hollywood star variety. Right, 482 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:50.759 It's one leads to the other here. 483 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:55.720 I don't remember what Eastern like, it's an Eastern country 484 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.240 once they Poland, I think maybe, but they are They 485 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:02.240 just made an AI prime minister. 486 00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:05.519 No, no, no, it's Albania and uh, this is the 487 00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:11.720 Minister of Procurement. So yes, Albania currently basically for lack 488 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.920 of better words, purchasing logistics things like that for the country. 489 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.440 And I don't mean like uh, I mean some in 490 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:20.240 certain cases. I suppose it could be weapons and things 491 00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:23.839 like that. But you know, any big organization that makes 492 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:27.119 a lot of purchases is going to have a procurement head. 493 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:30.599 In this country, we have secretary of dot dot dot. 494 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:32.960 In a lot of other countries they have Minister of 495 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:38.240 dot dot dot. So yes, currently secretary of war. Now 496 00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:41.960 that is the new title. Secretary of defense is antiquated. 497 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:44.559 Now we have Pete Hegseth our secretary of war. Uh, 498 00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.920 this is the war Department, not the Defense department. It's excellent. 499 00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:49.680 I'm so happy about this, but it's out the point. 500 00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.200 So yeah, that's that's how they do it over there. 501 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.519 And currently Albania has an AI overlord over at least 502 00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.359 their procurement. And if it does well, uh, it will that. 503 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:02.880 I could imagine a world where we have AI prime 504 00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:08.240 ministers and Hugh, it's a it's scary, it's just it's dystopic. 505 00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:13.039 It does, so I think we should see in Albania 506 00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:17.160 like every fucking trans not transformers. Jesus stat that'd give 507 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:20.720 them wide is no sky in it. Give them the 508 00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.519 Terminator movies, make them watch that well. 509 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:25.480 So and we talked about this on the Cajun night 510 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:26.839 a couple. I don't know if it was last week 511 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.240 or the week before, honestly, but they are doing this 512 00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:34.519 because Albania has been riddled with corruption for years. Like 513 00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.400 this is not a recent thing, for decades. Albania has 514 00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:39.680 been seriously. 515 00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:40.720 Corrupt, especially their people. 516 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.359 Well, but that's the thing. Their theory is that AI 517 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.519 because it can't be allegedly quote unquote, it can't be 518 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:51.640 swayed on public opinion or based off of who its 519 00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:54.279 uncle is or who what family ties that has to 520 00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:56.720 this mafia or whatever the case is, so it will 521 00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.400 be a neutral source on all these things. Backside to that, 522 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.400 AI can be programmed to do whatever you want, and 523 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.400 if the programmer was corrupt, the AI will be corrupt. 524 00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.440 But they're gonna find that out on their own there. 525 00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.000 We're gonna just watch from this side of the pond 526 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:13.039 and see how it plays out. I don't see it 527 00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:13.599 going well. 528 00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:19.279 Also, Poland just in stated Jesus Christ as the king 529 00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:19.880 of Poland. 530 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:25.200 Okay, so that's a movie. Poland really is the European Texas, 531 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:25.759 and I am. 532 00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:28.680 Here for them, little European Texas. Indeed, so you watch 533 00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:30.640 an habitual line cross for USA. 534 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.960 I love HLC. He is He's amazing. Ethan is an 535 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.599 amazing guy. 536 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:38.440 Which plane is your favorite? I give you two guesses, 537 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:39.599 which one's my favorite? 538 00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:41.599 Uh? The Kid and Grandpa. 539 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.720 Buff Yes, those are my favorite by far. 540 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:47.279 All right, So Tony, I saw your hand rais and 541 00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:49.440 I saw Royce's hand raised, but then both y'all put 542 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:51.359 it down. Which everyone wants to weigh in first? Go 543 00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:51.680 for it. 544 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:55.400 I just thought Johnny Somali was going to prison for 545 00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.880 being one of these shock jocks who to harass people 546 00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:01.119 on the street. I didn't realized that he got in 547 00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:03.079 trouble for ai fake. 548 00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.359 So the shock jock stuff is true. But to the 549 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:11.319 point there was, uh he got there was a group 550 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:14.880 of care of South Koreans. They tracked him down like 551 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.240 based off of the environment, like his life's tracked him down, 552 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:20.559 found out where he was because they got sick and 553 00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:25.119 tired of They beat the dog shit out that boy. Hmmm. So, 554 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.240 and know what, like the community, like none of the 555 00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:33.839 police officers press charges against the the other Koreans and everything. 556 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.880 And you gotta keep in mind, Korea, like most Asian countries, 557 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.799 are very honor bound to like community and everything, and 558 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:45.400 going there as a as a foreigner, especially to one 559 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:49.480 of the extracted countries, and to pretty much be a 560 00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:53.279 dick to society. I'm surprised they didn't bag him and 561 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:55.359 tag him and take his ass to a black site. 562 00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.119 Yeah, Korea doesn't really play around with outsiders coming there 563 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:01.519 breaking the loll as. For sure. 564 00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:05.839 They should toss his ass over the line to North 565 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:08.039 Korean and just give him to them. Let let let 566 00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:08.599 him go, or. 567 00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:13.559 They'll they'll throw him back. They'll absolutely throw him back. 568 00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:17.279 Royce, what you got, brother, No, So the so, going 569 00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:19.039 back in a few minutes ago when we were talking 570 00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:23.799 about this new AI quote unquote actress or whatever, so, 571 00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:27.359 I do agree with you that most actors slash actresses 572 00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:29.799 have absolutely zero concept. 573 00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:31.319 Of what the quote unquote real world is. 574 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:36.200 I think what they were talking about is the ability 575 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:41.359 to h they emotion right, Like, I'm sure there's some 576 00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:44.200 some movies that you've seen where like there's some scene 577 00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:48.279 that just it hits hard, whether it's whether it's the background, 578 00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:50.119 whether it's the actor. So I think that's what they're 579 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.960 talking about that. Eventually, I'm sure that the AI will 580 00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:57.680 be able to mimic that, but right now, that's something 581 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:01.160 that probably more people and civic people who have been 582 00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:04.759 trained in the art of that. Now, should that be 583 00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:08.599 something that these people make millions upon millions of dollars 584 00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:14.240 per day or per episode. Absolutely not right, But it 585 00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:17.559 definitely is a talent and is a skill. 586 00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.759 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna knock that right. I'm 587 00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.119 not saying that acting is not an art form in 588 00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:25.279 and of itself. I one hundred percent agree with that. 589 00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.359 But also think about this from a director's standpoint, Right, 590 00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.000 You're trying to get this scene just right, and you 591 00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:36.440 wanted to carry the amount of weight right, real gravity 592 00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:39.039 to this scene, whether it be a big crying scene 593 00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:41.160 or a big reveal scene or whatever the case is. 594 00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:45.039 Instead of having to all right, cut, all right, listen, 595 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:49.119 I'm gonna need you to be just more more emotion, 596 00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:54.039 cry more, just complete breakdown and action, and then you cut. 597 00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:56.039 I need more. I need more out of you on 598 00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:58.039 this one. Okay, we go just all the way through. 599 00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:00.359 Instead of going back and forth and back and forth, 600 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:03.400 wasting everybody's time and film and resources and all this, 601 00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.079 you could just play it through the AI model and 602 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.719 then be like, actually, can we make her cry a 603 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:11.559 little bit more? Da da da boom, It's done. Okay, 604 00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:14.199 a little bit less da da da boom. Okay, can 605 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:15.880 we have a little lip quiver at this point ba 606 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.239 ba bap. It would take a matter of an hour 607 00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.599 to get right a scene that in otherwise would have 608 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.519 taken days. So I hear what you're saying as far 609 00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:29.079 as the human connection, as far as like bringing real 610 00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:32.280 emotion to it. But also I agree with the other 611 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:33.920 point that you made that give it a little bit 612 00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:36.840 of time and a little bit of tweaking. Tillie nor would, 613 00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.159 in my opinion, is just the tip of the iceberg. 614 00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:43.719 I could see this going way way deep into our 615 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.039 entertainment industry as a whole. Let's not even talk about 616 00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:50.920 AI musicians or singers or anything else that we have 617 00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:53.360 going on here. It's only starting here, you know. 618 00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:57.239 And they also never age, so you know, a bit 619 00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.880 major problem if you have a sitcom that is call 620 00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.239 it a family Well, guess what you know, kids grow up, 621 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.119 adults get older, adults die. 622 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:11.199 I mean and the move Adam Sandler have the Gilmore two, right, 623 00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:14.800 So many actors died, right, So there was a lot 624 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:19.079 of like flashbacks and you know a lot of cameos 625 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.800 as it were, but like you would not have that 626 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.079 at all with AI exactly. 627 00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:27.360 And think about that too. If you have a cutback scene, 628 00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.119 a backstory or something, you don't have to get a 629 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:32.960 child actor that looks really really close to the main actor. 630 00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:35.800 You could just program the AI to look like that 631 00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.480 thing as nine years old or something, or as five 632 00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:40.599 or whatever the case, and it will look like it's 633 00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:41.880 supposed to all the way through. 634 00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:47.599 The Karate Kid had that. Yeah, the New Karate Kid with. 635 00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:53.760 Jackie Chan actually had a good cutback scene with both 636 00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.119 Danielson and mister Miagi, and. 637 00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:59.760 Yeah, it was pretty n good, pretty close. 638 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:02.880 This is what I'm saying, dude. I see this as 639 00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.280 a sign of the times. And although I am not 640 00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.760 the biggest fan of actors as people, I am not 641 00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.679 happy about them being replaced by AI. It's it's a 642 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:18.800 crazy shift that we very well may be watching in 643 00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.559 real time. With that being said, let's move on to 644 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:25.840 the article that Royce sent in Tesla's Optimist robot shows 645 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:29.119 off kung fu skills on Jared Leto at Disney event. 646 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.599 Bro What okay, let's got it? 647 00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:32.920 Yeah? 648 00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:36.320 When was this posted? Hold on? This was October seventh. 649 00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:39.639 Oh god, yesterday. All right, let's check it out here. 650 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.480 Elon musk led Tesla's humanoid robot Optimist, recently made an 651 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:48.000 appearance on the red carpet at the tron Aries World 652 00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:50.639 premiere in Los Angeles. Of course, he would use that 653 00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:53.239 to premiere his new tech. Right at the event, the 654 00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.000 robot post in a kung fu stance opposite actor Jared Leto. 655 00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:01.960 A video shared on social media platform ex quickly went 656 00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:04.280 viral was showing the robot performing kung fu moves in 657 00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.920 a playful face off with the actor. I gotta tell you, 658 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:11.960 I am. I used to be a fan of Jared 659 00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:16.920 Leto as an actor, but I have heard and seen 660 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.760 too many things about him as a person to where 661 00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.760 I can't separate art from artists on this one. He's 662 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:28.639 kind of a raging piece of shit as a human being. Well. 663 00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:32.119 A person that I know, a content creator who's like 664 00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:35.039 a friend of a friend, has a lady friend that 665 00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:40.440 basically her and Leto were in a hotel room together 666 00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:44.000 and in the middle of it, she decided that she 667 00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:46.360 wasn't as down with it as she was, and they 668 00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:49.360 were having drinks earlier, so he literally threw her out 669 00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:51.400 of the hotel room without any of her clothes and 670 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:54.119 locked the door, and like, that's not the first and 671 00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:56.639 only time he's done similar things. So yeah, Jared Leto's 672 00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:58.639 kind of a raging piece of shit. But all right, 673 00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:02.159 hold on, Sam, I see her. Him Sharing the clip, 674 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:05.519 which drew widespread attention within hours, Tesla's official x account 675 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:09.239 for Optimus rote tried to start a fight with try 676 00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:11.360 to start a fight at the tron Aris premiere. The 677 00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:14.960 public display was reportedly part of an effort involving Tesla's 678 00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:19.960 Disney and Elon Musk's AI platform XAI, designed to connect 679 00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:24.320 Hollywood events with advanced robotics technology. Yeah, that's the other 680 00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:26.280 way this cookie's gonna crumble in it. It's not just 681 00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:30.639 the AI model on the screen. They're gonna have robotics 682 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:33.760 to play certain portions of movies. Why not. In the 683 00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:36.679 viral clip, which has already garnered over twenty eight million views, 684 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:38.760 and this was yesterday, it was posting, I guarantee it's 685 00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:41.639 more than that. Now, Optimus is seen playfully facing off 686 00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:44.840 against Jared Leto, showing off a series of choreographed Kung 687 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:48.880 Fu style moves. Leto stays in character during the lighthearted moments, 688 00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.400 striking a playful kung fu pose of his own and 689 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.840 smiling as the robot continues its routine. Let's go ahead 690 00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:25.360 and play this man. Let's check it out. He didn't 691 00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:27.079 get into a kung fu stance. He got into a 692 00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:30.559 basics fighter stance, like basically a boxing pose. But all right, 693 00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.480 and I mean, yes, granted, there was obviously robotic in movement. 694 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:39.519 I get that. Yo, give that thing about five more 695 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:41.920 years and let musk really work on the fine motor 696 00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:44.480 skills of that thing and then throw a skin suit 697 00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:46.599 over the top of it. Will you be able to 698 00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:51.760 tell the difference? I mean, honestly, go ahead, sam U. 699 00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:56.679 Two things. One again, they missed the chance of having it, say, 700 00:39:56.760 --> 00:40:01.119 everybody was cang flud fighting Stelo Guen song. But the 701 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:05.440 second thing, jay Letto has a Messiah complex. Not even 702 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:08.639 a god complex, but a Messiah complex complex. 703 00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:10.719 Yeah. 704 00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.719 Yeah, he's literally like the second coming of fucking Charles Manson. 705 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:20.320 I'm calling it now. Dude is Larry or fucking David Koresh. 706 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:24.039 He is literally having a fucking sex cult. Makes them 707 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:26.440 come to his eyeland. They pay him like forty fucking 708 00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:29.840 grand and the dude does probably isn't even that great 709 00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:34.360 of a lover and he I can I could actually 710 00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:38.599 see him get going down the David Koresh path and. 711 00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:41.320 Trying to fuck the little kids. I totally see that 712 00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:41.880 shit coming. 713 00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:46.159 I'm not saying that he is or is not a pedal, right, 714 00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:49.280 but I will say that he absolutely is leading his 715 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.840 own brand of a cult right now. And even before 716 00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:56.440 I heard about that, just hearing about uh things that 717 00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:02.400 former I don't want to use and partners. Uh, basically 718 00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.119 he is shitty to people and it's yeah. 719 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:06.400 He's not. 720 00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:08.079 He's a classic naoist. 721 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:14.119 Yeah, and I grew up in my dad's an egotistical narcissist, 722 00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:18.760 so it's easy to fucking point out. And he checks 723 00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:23.039 off every fucking uh. He checks off every box of 724 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:26.239 the best of may. The dude is should be like 725 00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:29.960 you should open up the the n D five and 726 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:32.079 look for narcissus and there's his picture. 727 00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:36.159 Yeah, yeah he is. All right. So now getting off 728 00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:40.000 of the Hollywood actors and the Dutch AI model, but 729 00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:43.280 while we're still talking about the Dutch, uh, well yeah 730 00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:47.400 kind of. Danish Prime minister calls for strong answer from 731 00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:51.199 EU leaders to Russia's hybrid attacks. This is from the 732 00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:54.760 BBC Long Story short which we're gonna read the article, 733 00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:59.519 of course, but Denmark has grounded all the drones, even 734 00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:02.920 civilian own drones. They just put out this massive nationwide 735 00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:05.360 proclamation saying basically, if you have a drone and you're 736 00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:07.639 flying in the air, expect us to assume you're doing 737 00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.039 terroristic shit and we're gonna shoot it down and you're 738 00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:12.679 gonna be arrested. Now, why would they do that? Let's 739 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:16.320 read in here. EU leaders have met in Copenhagen under 740 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:19.639 pressure to boost European defense after a series of Russians 741 00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:24.079 incursions into the EU airspace and days after drones targeted 742 00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:29.599 Danish airports. That is correct, Danish Prime Minister met Fredrickson, 743 00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:33.840 the most Danish last name on Earth. Toll reporters that 744 00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:36.559 from a European perspective, there is only one country willing 745 00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.280 to threaten us, and that is Russia, and therefore we 746 00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:42.840 need a very strong answer back. The incursions have become 747 00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.679 most accurate, or excuse me, most acute for countries on 748 00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:50.480 the EU on their eastern flanks, such as Poland and Estonium. 749 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.719 Sorry I'm kind of bumbling through this one. A number 750 00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:55.159 of member states have already backed plans for a multi 751 00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:58.800 layered drone ball to quickly detect and then track and 752 00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:02.320 then destroy RU drones. We meet at a time when 753 00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:05.920 Russia has intensified their attacks in Ukraine, where we have 754 00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:09.880 seen Russian airspace violations and unwanted drone activity in several 755 00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:13.719 European countries, Fredrickson told a news conference after the talks 756 00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:17.360 had concluded. They are threatening us, and they are testing us, 757 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:21.639 and they will not stop. She said, oh, she wait 758 00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:26.280 a minute, Fredrickson met okay, I honestly thought there was 759 00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:31.639 a dude. I don't know traditional Danish names, so apparently 760 00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:34.880 met is a female name. My apologies for the assumption. 761 00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:38.400 She said. The next steps would include stepping up military 762 00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:42.599 and financial support for Ukraine, rearming European countries, and strengthening 763 00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:46.920 the production of drones and anti drone technology, which if 764 00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:49.800 they would to buy America's new I think it's called 765 00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:53.880 the Spartan Wave. Basically, out of fifty drones, it was 766 00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:56.239 able to take down forty one of them in one shot. 767 00:43:56.679 --> 00:44:00.639 Just sending radio waves to fry the computers was beautiful. 768 00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:03.920 And yeah, and this is how it's gonna go. Drone 769 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.039 technology is the way that people are gonna fight warfare 770 00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.440 until something else counteracts it, and then something else is 771 00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.159 gonna counteract that counteract, and then something else is gonna 772 00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:15.159 It's this is how this goes. It's spy versus spy. 773 00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:19.719 That's that's the way that warfare goes. Right. We must 774 00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:23.280 provide the strongest of deterrence at a scale and speed. 775 00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:28.280 European Commissioner President Ursula Vonderley and said Denmark beefed up 776 00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:31.679 security for the summit, banning all civilian drone flights until 777 00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:36.280 Friday and placing heavy restrictions on traffic and Copenhagen. Every 778 00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:38.679 time I know that Copenhagen is their capital city, but 779 00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:40.599 every time I read it, all I can think is 780 00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:45.920 the country song copern Your Sorry. Denmark is also hosting 781 00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:50.159 a broader European Political Community summit on Thursday, and international 782 00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:53.400 allies have lent support to ensure both events pass without incident. 783 00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:58.000 Copenhagen airport, followed by several Danish airports and military sites 784 00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:02.599 on the Jutland peninsula fail least drone disruption disruption rather 785 00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:06.360 last week. Ten allies are providing anti drone and surveillance support. 786 00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:10.000 According to Denmark's military, which has highlighted an increased presence 787 00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:13.440 of foreign troops and equipment. Among the countries contributing are 788 00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:18.400 Poland obviously, the UK, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and the US. 789 00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:22.679 A German frigate has also docked in Copenhagen. The Germans 790 00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:25.800 are the Germans really are stepping up to become the 791 00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:28.679 military powerhouse that they once were, and honestly I'm here 792 00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:32.559 for it. As hosts to dozens of European leaders over 793 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:35.599 two days, Denmark will want to fend off any more 794 00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:39.320 unwelcome surprises in its airspace. Danish police have not found 795 00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:42.119 any evidence that Russia was behind last week's drone disruption, 796 00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:45.639 but Frederickson linked it explicitly to other hybrid attacks, such 797 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:48.960 as Russia's drone incursions over Poland. It was part of 798 00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:51.639 a pattern that had to be viewed from a European perspective. 799 00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:54.239 She told reporters on Wednesday. The war in Ukraine is 800 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:57.039 very serious and when I look at Europe today, I 801 00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:00.400 think we are in the most difficult and dangerous situation 802 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:03.280 since the end of the Second World War, not the 803 00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:07.599 Cold War anymore. Okay, fair enough, but again there's no 804 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.920 proof that the drone incursions over the Danish airports were 805 00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:14.199 Russian drones. I think that that does need to be 806 00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:19.599 restated here. They are assuming, and they may have some 807 00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:23.400 credence to that assumption. Fine, but there is no proof. 808 00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:27.239 Just so we're clear. Sweden has loaned powerful radar systems 809 00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.320 to its neighbor for the week, and Ukraine's Zelenski has 810 00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:32.880 said Kiev was sending a mission to Denmark for joint 811 00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:38.440 exercises to provide Ukrainian experience to drone defense. Good Lord 812 00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:42.639 German Chancellor Frederick Murrs said ahead of the summit that 813 00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:46.079 airspace incursions were getting worse and that it was reasonable 814 00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:49.159 to assume the drones are coming from Russia. Again, that's 815 00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:54.400 a reasonable assumption. It's not guaranteed and understood. Just what 816 00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.079 it's saying. Drones have been seen in recent days over 817 00:46:57.159 --> 00:47:04.559 Germany's northern state of Schlaswig Holston, all right, and flights 818 00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:08.320 have been delayed in the past week in Vilnius Airport 819 00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:13.199 in Lithuania and at Oslo Airport, Norway because of drone activity. 820 00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:16.079 We are not at war, but we are no longer 821 00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:19.400 at peace either. We must do much more for our 822 00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:24.400 own security. Maris told an event in Dusseldorf. This week, 823 00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:29.519 Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskoff said it was obvious Germany had 824 00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:32.239 long been indirectly involved in the war in Ukraine and 825 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:36.320 rejected unfounded accusations of Russian involvement in the last week's 826 00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:40.000 disruption in Denmark. Europe would be better off seeking dialogue 827 00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:43.239 on security issues rather than looking to build a divisive 828 00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:47.800 drone wall, he said on Tuesday. Uh huh. Such is 829 00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:51.920 the concern at Russian activity on Europe's eastern flank that 830 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.960 NATO met for consultations twice in September under Article four 831 00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:59.159 of its treaty, first after drones violated Polish air space, 832 00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:03.599 then when Russian MiG thirty one warplanes entered Estonian airspace 833 00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:06.679 for twelve minutes. We have to keep our sky safe, 834 00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:10.800 said NATO Secretary General Mark Root, who met Ursula vonder 835 00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:13.960 Layan in Brussels on the eve of the Copenhagen summit. 836 00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:16.559 The idea of a drone wall was raised a month 837 00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:20.000 ago by vonder Lahyam, and Root said it was timely 838 00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:23.199 and necessary because in the end we cannot spend millions 839 00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:26.199 of euros or dollars on missiles to take out drones 840 00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:29.679 which are only costing a couple of thousand dollars. It's 841 00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:33.400 very true, very accurate. A senior EU diplomat told the 842 00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:36.320 BBC that there were still questions over financing the plan 843 00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:39.559 and about command and control, but Europe's response to Russia's 844 00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:43.320 drone violations in Poland had led to some serious soul searching. 845 00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:46.840 We have to be more agile and find better tools. Again, 846 00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:48.960 I feel like they're looking at it the wrong way. 847 00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.199 You shouldn't be shooting down drones with missiles. There's way 848 00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:55.519 easier and more cost effective ways. But anyway, a former 849 00:48:55.519 --> 00:49:00.559 brigadier general in the Danish military, all Kavarno Kaverno, told 850 00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:03.280 the BBC that the drone wall was a political, very 851 00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:06.639 generic concept at the moment, but that last week's drone 852 00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:08.880 activity over his country had been a wake up call 853 00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:12.559 for the authorities and the broader Danish population. Anyway. The 854 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:14.679 article goes on for a little bit longer, but I 855 00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:18.360 think we've got the overall gist of it here. Yeah, 856 00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:22.239 everybody's worried about russia incursion over their airspace. Drones are 857 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:26.039 becoming more of a frontline asset as far as the 858 00:49:26.079 --> 00:49:29.199 war is concerned. So every European country is watching the 859 00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:31.320 skies for a little bit more than just jets at 860 00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:35.039 this time. And yeah, here we have it. We're moving 861 00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:39.079 on to the next topic, talking about foreign assets in 862 00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:42.199 the sky. However, let's go on to this next article. 863 00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:46.119 This is from Army Recognition dot com. Chinese fighter jets 864 00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:50.119 simulated constructive kills on British carrier strike group. There's only 865 00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:51.960 a couple of days ago. Let's get into it here. 866 00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:53.840 Actually know what I'm going to zoom into where I 867 00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.199 could read that better, because I'm getting older and my 868 00:49:56.280 --> 00:50:00.639 eyes are getting shittier as the day is long. Chinese 869 00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:05.480 fighter jets executed constructive kill attacks profiles against HMS Richmond 870 00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:08.719 as the UK's carrier group, led by HMS Prince of Wales, 871 00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:12.480 was tracked and harassed near the Spratlee Islands. According to 872 00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:15.880 the British officers cited by The Independent on September thirtieth, 873 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:20.039 twenty twenty five, the incident's underscore rising risks around freedom 874 00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.280 of navigation operations in the South China Sea and Taiwan 875 00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:27.000 straight routes critical to the US trade and Allied security. 876 00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.599 The Independent reported on Tuesday that the Chinese aircraft flew 877 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:33.800 the same trajectories they would use to strike Royal Navy 878 00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:37.760 vessels before breaking off, described by officers as quote unquote 879 00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:43.159 constructive kills, while Chinese ships shadowed the UK carrier HMS 880 00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:46.920 Prince of Wales and the frigate HMS Richmond near the 881 00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:50.519 Spratley Islands. The update ads that the HMS Richmond also 882 00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:54.679 faced simulated attack runs during a Taiwan straight transit. These 883 00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:58.079 maneuvers increased the chance of miscalculation in one of the 884 00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:02.559 world's busiest sea lanes and test Allied commitments to open navigation. 885 00:51:03.320 --> 00:51:06.440 So this in the picture here is the HMS Prince 886 00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:10.599 of Wales. That's a massive aircraft carrier. And you know, 887 00:51:11.239 --> 00:51:14.119 I know that every country does their thing different. The 888 00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:16.800 British have this ramp at the very end of their 889 00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:19.639 aircraft carriers. Americans don't have that. We have a straight 890 00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:22.880 runway and we have the oh hell, what's it called, 891 00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:25.480 the thing that basically launches off the ship. If you've 892 00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:27.199 ever seen top gun, it's the thing that they use 893 00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:28.679 to kick the football at the front of the ship. 894 00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:30.679 I forget what it's called. I want to say shuttle cock. 895 00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:33.360 Is that the technical term for it. 896 00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:36.719 I'm not exactly shuret if you want to can text 897 00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:38.800 my step daddy was in the Navy. 898 00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.440 I want to say it's a shuttle or something like that, 899 00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:43.480 but now I'm thinking it might I'm thinking shuttle cock 900 00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:47.760 like the bad Minton catapult. Maybe maybe something like that, 901 00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:49.880 but either way you want to look at it. We 902 00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:51.960 have that and it's sending it with so much force 903 00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:54.159 and the pilots are able to pick up speed to 904 00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:57.039 where they can just take off with it. The British 905 00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:01.119 Royal Navy and Royal Air Sir servis I should say, 906 00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:03.920 they use this ramp at the end of their ships. 907 00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:06.199 I think it's silly, but at the same time it's 908 00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:08.760 kind of cool. I don't want to knock it too hard, 909 00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:11.400 but yeah, that's how you can tell a British aircraft 910 00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:12.960 carrier if you see the ramp at the front. 911 00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:17.119 Honestly, according to Google, it is called a catapult. 912 00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:20.440 There we are all right. Tony is on it as usual, 913 00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:24.679 my dad. The episode forms part of the sequence that 914 00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:28.360 began with HMS Richmond's transit to the Taiwan Straight on 915 00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:31.840 the twelfth of September, alongside the USS or US deshoer 916 00:52:32.039 --> 00:52:37.639 USS Higgins Beijing denounced a provocation quote unquote and deployed 917 00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:40.239 air and naval assets to shadow the two ships, while 918 00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:43.639 London and Washington described a routine passage in the air 919 00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:47.679 National waters HMS Prince of Wales which they go into 920 00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:52.199 the nomenclature of operates F thirty five B short takeoff 921 00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:55.960 and vertical landing aircraft and Merlin helicopters for airborne early 922 00:52:56.039 --> 00:52:59.719 warning and anti submarine warfare, enabling an air SA protective 923 00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:04.519 bubble extending hundreds of miles. Its Stovl deck which they 924 00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:07.159 probably pronounced stoval but I don't know, Just moving on 925 00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:12.599 and mission architecture allows sustained, sustained SORTI generation in a 926 00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:16.119 contested environment while providing a useful command and control volume 927 00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:20.840 for allied operations. HMS ription Richmond a type twenty three 928 00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:25.519 frigate optimized for anti submarine warfare fields, a whole sonar 929 00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:30.039 and towed array CAMC sceptor missile missiles for a local 930 00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:34.480 area air defense, and a hangar for Merlin or Wildcats, 931 00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:37.960 making it a frontline sensor and early warning picket for 932 00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:42.159 strike groups. The USS Higgins is an AEGIS equipped rle 933 00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:46.880 Burke Flight two a destroyer. It combines SPY one, radar, 934 00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:50.440 SM two or SM six, surface to air missiles, and 935 00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:54.719 precision strike options, providing layered defense and an expanded air 936 00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:59.119 defense umbrella within the Allied formation. The constructive kill maneuver 937 00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:04.079 func shud as signaling pilots climb, place themselves within a 938 00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:10.840 plausible weapons envelope, simulate an attack solution, then to disengage. Basically, 939 00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:14.400 if I'm understanding here, it's the same way that pilots 940 00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:19.440 will play war games against each other and do mock dogfights. Essentially, 941 00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:21.840 if you could lock onto them, then that's seen as 942 00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:26.599 a constructive kill, so to speak. So the Chinese air 943 00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:32.119 assets were essentially doing this mock. Of course, they weren't 944 00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:35.639 actually locking on They weren't actually about to pull the 945 00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:38.760 trigger and send weapon or missiles or anything to these ships, 946 00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:41.599 because that would be crazy of them to try that. 947 00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:44.760 But essentially they were going through the motions as if 948 00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:47.320 that's what they were about to do for their quote 949 00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:52.960 unquote constructive kills. On the British side, officers describe an 950 00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:57.280 information warfare intent designed to make clear that the aircrafts 951 00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:00.679 are targeting them while keeping a safe more margin. On 952 00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:04.320 the Chinese side, the fighters use these scenarios are multi 953 00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:07.679 roll platforms with long range profiles able to carry beyond 954 00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:11.880 visual range air to air missiles and anti shiploads. The 955 00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:17.760 latest version mounts an AESA radars, allowing realistic approach parameters 956 00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:21.559 even without firing. British reports describe this to and FRO 957 00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:25.800 in detail, visible on called consoles and suitable for post 958 00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:30.599 mission analysis. They get more into the nomenclature of the 959 00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:34.800 British ships, in which, like flagships, are what on station 960 00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:40.000 around the sprat les. Chinese platforms alternated tracking close approaches 961 00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:44.760 and shows of presence all round allied units modulating intensity 962 00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:48.599 above or below contested thresholds. British crews describe four or 963 00:55:48.599 --> 00:55:51.480 five Chinese ships seeking to close with the Prince of 964 00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:55.440 Wales to test reactions, which is exactly what this was for. 965 00:55:55.920 --> 00:55:59.360 The surface units involved in these situations combined surveillance radars, 966 00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:03.400 long range optics and robust communications, often with coastguard support, 967 00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:07.360 enabling tight contact and exploitation of legal gray areas in 968 00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:14.440 the air. The simulated trajectories remained readdible readable Jesus readable 969 00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:18.679 on shipborn radar and electro optics. Altogether, the sequence generated 970 00:56:18.760 --> 00:56:22.440 data useful for refining rules of engagement, alert procedures, and 971 00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:26.480 close in defense drills. The Taiwan Strait, which is a 972 00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:31.159 narrow waterway, carries specific legal and political weight. Beijing regularly 973 00:56:31.239 --> 00:56:37.039 presents the strait as internal waters, whereas Western navies point 974 00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:43.119 to the freedom of the navigation under unclos Essentially, China 975 00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:45.280 is the only one that recognizes this as a part 976 00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:49.559 of China. Everyone else on Earth and their allies. China 977 00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:51.840 and their allies see it as a part of the 978 00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:55.440 Sea of China. Everyone else sees it as international waters. 979 00:56:56.119 --> 00:57:00.239 So you know there's some contention there. In practice, each 980 00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:05.599 routine transit triggers public statements, coordinated aircs showing imaginary capture 981 00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:08.519 or imagery capture, and then a return to calm. In 982 00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:11.519 this case, the combined presence of the US AGIS destroyer 983 00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:14.719 and a British anti submarine escort under the umbrella of 984 00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:17.280 a carrier capable of operating the F thirty five B 985 00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:21.000 with few sensors and secure data links reduced the coercive 986 00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:25.039 value of the opposing aerial delays or displays. So it 987 00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.559 gets more into the technicalities of it all. But yes, 988 00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:31.000 this is absolutely a source of contention. These Chinese fighters 989 00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:36.360 essentially were simulating a kill shot on these naval assets 990 00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:38.679 of the US and the British while they were in 991 00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:42.360 the Taiwan Strait. Not a good look, but also they 992 00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:45.840 got to test their abilities as pilots, and our navy 993 00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:48.000 got a good look at what they'd be willing to 994 00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:52.079 do if and when that time came. So all right now, 995 00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:55.719 as we are still talking about international things, I don't 996 00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:59.320 know how many people listening to the Cajunier gamers. I know. 997 00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:01.679 I like to play a video game from time, you know, 998 00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:04.559 every now and again. I can't tell you the last 999 00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:08.159 time I really sat and played any real video game 1000 00:58:08.280 --> 00:58:11.000 for any real extended amount of time, except for Minecraft 1001 00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:15.159 with my kids. And oh I should give this adendum 1002 00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:19.239 Double seven's Golden eye for any of the old school 1003 00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:22.519 gamers out there that remember the first first person shooter 1004 00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:26.639 video game ever on Nintendo sixty four. I just downloaded 1005 00:58:26.639 --> 00:58:29.199 it for my Xbox and I was playing it earlier. 1006 00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:33.440 You want to talk about, immediately send you back to 1007 00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:36.679 ninety eight when you and your homies were all huddled 1008 00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:40.159 around one Box TV and the Nintendo sixty four with 1009 00:58:40.199 --> 00:58:43.360 four remotes coming off with that mug. It is insane, 1010 00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.840 and I'm playing this showing my children that this is 1011 00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:49.320 what first person shooter games used to look like. This 1012 00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:53.559 was cutting edge, y'all. The animation that we used to 1013 00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:58.000 geek out over it's so realistic. Looking back at it 1014 00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:04.119 now is crazy, like actually crazy. But it was really 1015 00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:07.239 really nostalgic and really cool. With all of that being said, 1016 00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:13.559 the Saudis have now bought EA Games, Yes, the whole 1017 00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:17.119 EA Sports It's in the game that is now owned 1018 00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:19.599 by the Saudis, And there's a lot of things to 1019 00:59:19.639 --> 00:59:24.000 be said about this. Some are hoping, myself included, that 1020 00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:29.639 perhaps EA will actually produce a good game now, because I, 1021 00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:33.039 in my humble opinion, think that EA has not produced 1022 00:59:33.079 --> 00:59:36.320 a good game aside from like sporting games. Fine, I'm 1023 00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:39.559 talking about like actual in depth games. They haven't produced 1024 00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:45.639 a good one of note in ten years, fifteen years. 1025 00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:50.119 Maybe so because they've been trying to give what they 1026 00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:53.519 think the people want. The Saudis, depending on what day 1027 00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:56.079 you catch them, could be very much willing to work 1028 00:59:56.119 --> 00:59:58.800 with the public, or they're completely unhinged and they're just 1029 00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:00.920 gonna do what the hell they want anyway, So I'm 1030 01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:04.480 hoping that this will lead to hopefully some revamping of 1031 01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:09.800 games that we wanted and this never received, or perhaps 1032 01:00:09.840 --> 01:00:13.639 they will release video games that we're seen as like 1033 01:00:13.719 --> 01:00:15.880 the second tier or third tier of some of these 1034 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:18.880 older video games that we were waiting on. But yeah, 1035 01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:20.599 I'm just saying I could see it as a very 1036 01:00:20.639 --> 01:00:23.320 net positive thing. But let's read in here. It says 1037 01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:26.679 on September twenty ninth of twenty twenty five, Saudi Arabia's 1038 01:00:26.679 --> 01:00:31.039 public investment fund equity company silver Lake and investment firm 1039 01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:36.039 Affinity Partners, the latter of which is led by Jerry Kushner. Yeah, 1040 01:00:36.039 --> 01:00:38.599 I let that one's sink in announce their intention to 1041 01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:43.280 acquire EA for fifty five billion dollars US. Once complete, 1042 01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:46.840 the acquisition would take the company private and another high 1043 01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:51.400 profile video game publisher to the PIF's portfolio and put 1044 01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:54.119 one of the biggest video game publishers under owners with 1045 01:00:54.280 --> 01:00:57.639 close personal ties to the US government. If you're worried 1046 01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:00.880 about EA's future, you're in good company. The acquisition is 1047 01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:04.280 unprecedented on many levels and throws the future of EA 1048 01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:10.280 Studios and some of its biggest franchises, including BioWare, the Sims, Apex, Legends, 1049 01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:15.599 and battlefield into doubt. Industry analysis have varying predictions about 1050 01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:18.800 what could come next. However, there are a few contestants, 1051 01:01:18.920 --> 01:01:22.920 namely that EA will or constants rather namely that EA 1052 01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:26.440 will likely implement large scale spending reductions and sell off 1053 01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:30.480 its less profitable studios. I gotta say, I don't see 1054 01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:33.559 that as a possibility. The Saudis are very comfortable throwing 1055 01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:37.280 large amounts of money at anything for the hell of it. 1056 01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.920 They've shown that how many they have their own golfing league, 1057 01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:45.719 They have their own They're starting entire whole sports franchises 1058 01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:50.519 and leagues with Saudi money just to do it. It's 1059 01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:53.800 mind blowing. So I don't see this as them doing 1060 01:01:53.800 --> 01:01:57.960 this to trim the fat by any stretch of the imagination. 1061 01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:00.719 But yeah, I mean I don't know that for a fact. 1062 01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:02.880 Go ahead there, Sam. 1063 01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:04.360 Bomb. 1064 01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:09.440 Yeah. So the EA Games, you gotta uh, I know 1065 01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:13.000 that it's EA Games. Uh challenge everything, and you don't 1066 01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:16.159 play volunteer personally. The challenge everything is my favorite because 1067 01:02:16.159 --> 01:02:16.840 the Medal of Honor. 1068 01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:19.280 But no, you gotta keep. 1069 01:02:19.159 --> 01:02:22.360 In mind the reason why the EA Games shelled Medal 1070 01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:26.559 of Honor because they got in a fix that they 1071 01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:29.519 got in a controversy because in War Fighter you could 1072 01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:33.199 either play as the Allies, the Americans, or you could 1073 01:02:33.239 --> 01:02:38.239 play as the Taliban. Yeah, and I can't help. But 1074 01:02:38.679 --> 01:02:42.199 also Saudi's they're making moves to ingrain themselves even more 1075 01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:46.320 into American entertainment, not just the EA Games aspect, but 1076 01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:50.159 now it is the unprecedented. It started with just Saudi 1077 01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:54.840 Arabia Crown Jewel for WWE, which is now only ever 1078 01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:57.960 done in Saudi Arabia. Now they're about to have the 1079 01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:04.519 first WrestleMania in Saudia and they're try they for I 1080 01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:08.119 love wrestling, I love all the gimmicks, I love the characters, 1081 01:03:08.159 --> 01:03:10.559 and all I do not like the fact that they're 1082 01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:14.119 they're making the women go in like from neck down 1083 01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:16.679 in leather suits or they're even trying to make them 1084 01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:19.480 wear burke is now and if they don't, they won't 1085 01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:20.440 be able to come back. 1086 01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:25.760 Could you imagine seeing like the WWE divas wearing burkas 1087 01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:29.360 is their body slamming each other. Well, that's the most hilarious. 1088 01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:33.599 Oh, by the way, they're not called divas anymore. That's controversial. 1089 01:03:33.639 --> 01:03:36.360 They're called up. They're just called superstars like the guys 1090 01:03:36.519 --> 01:03:40.519 though personally one of my favorite belts. I have all 1091 01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:43.840 pretty much. I have two K twenty five. I have 1092 01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:47.840 real Bloody Ripley. I have her with the Divas Championship 1093 01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:50.079 right now because I don't like any of the females 1094 01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:53.960 like Morning I grew up in like I grew up 1095 01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:58.199 right after the attitude there. But I love attitude there. Uh, 1096 01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:01.000 trist Stratus will oh be the goat to me. 1097 01:04:01.719 --> 01:04:03.679 I don't know much about wrestling. I only know a 1098 01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:05.480 few names. Brother, I'm gonna be real with you. But 1099 01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:08.840 to your point, Saudi Arabia is making big purchases as 1100 01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:14.159 far as entertainment is concerned, whether that's WWE, whether that's sports, 1101 01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:19.199 whether that's movies, whatever the case is. And now video 1102 01:04:19.280 --> 01:04:22.320 games are and EA is not a small company by 1103 01:04:22.320 --> 01:04:24.639 any means. Now, I will say this, as far as 1104 01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:28.079 the video game market is concerned, aside from the big ones, 1105 01:04:28.119 --> 01:04:31.280 the Call of Duty's and the you know these types 1106 01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:36.960 of things, the indie market has been killing it as 1107 01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:39.760 far as video games are concerned. Right. EA has been 1108 01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:42.039 losing money, whether they really want to acknowledge it or not, 1109 01:04:42.400 --> 01:04:47.840 for a few years now. Perhaps perhaps the Saudi's throwing 1110 01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:50.559 this type of money at it and basically saying like, hey, 1111 01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:52.840 no idea is a dumb idea. Of the people want it, 1112 01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:56.320 the people can get it. Perhaps we might see some 1113 01:04:56.360 --> 01:04:59.199 decent video games come out of it. But anyway, not 1114 01:04:59.199 --> 01:05:01.440 gonna spend too much time on this article. But I 1115 01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:03.320 did want to make a mention of the fact that yes, 1116 01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:07.760 Ea games are now owned by the Saudis. So the 1117 01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:12.199 next time you're playing Battlefield or Fifa or BioWare or 1118 01:05:12.239 --> 01:05:15.880 any of these bigger games, you are now helping to 1119 01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:21.760 fund the Saudi royal family. It's worth mentioning. Now we 1120 01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:25.360 should make a mention of this. It is possible while 1121 01:05:25.400 --> 01:05:28.239 we are sticking as of this moment on the international news, 1122 01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:30.679 then we're gonna make our way to national news for 1123 01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:34.880 the United States. Anyway. Trump just announced only a few 1124 01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:38.440 hours ago as of time recording, that there may in 1125 01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:42.719 fact be an Israel Hamas deal in the works as 1126 01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:44.920 we speak. I got a quick video of it. Trump 1127 01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.679 gets a note from Rubio before announcing that Israel and 1128 01:05:47.760 --> 01:05:50.400 Hamas have struck a deal. Let's watch. 1129 01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:54.679 I was just dealing with people from the Middle East, 1130 01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:58.760 our people and other people on the potential peace deal 1131 01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:00.639 for the Middle East. Piece for the Middle East. So 1132 01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:03.039 it's a beautiful phrase and we hope it's going to 1133 01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:06.800 come true. But it's very close and they're doing very well. 1134 01:06:06.840 --> 01:06:10.280 We have a great team over there, great negotiators, and 1135 01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:15.360 they're unfortunately great negotiators on the other side also. But 1136 01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:17.719 it's something I think that will happen, got a good 1137 01:06:17.840 --> 01:06:21.719 chance of happening. I may go there sometime towards the 1138 01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:28.719 end of the week, maybe on Sunday actually, and we'll see. 1139 01:06:28.760 --> 01:06:32.079 But there's a very good chance that negotiations are going 1140 01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:35.559 along very well. We're dealing with Hamas and many of 1141 01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:38.760 the countries, as you know, we have Muslim All of 1142 01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:43.039 the Muslim countries are included, all of the Arab countries 1143 01:06:43.119 --> 01:06:46.559 are included, very rich countries and some that are not 1144 01:06:46.599 --> 01:06:50.360 so rich, but just about everybody's included. It's never happened before. 1145 01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:53.119 Nothing like that has happened before. In our final negotiation, 1146 01:06:53.239 --> 01:06:56.679 as you know, is with Amas and it seems to 1147 01:06:56.719 --> 01:07:00.320 be going well. So we'll let you know if that's 1148 01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:04.719 the case. We'll be leaving probably on Sunday, maybe Saturday, 1149 01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:09.679 maybe a little a little later than Saturday evening, but 1150 01:07:10.039 --> 01:07:12.880 that seems to be our schedule. That's why they shouldn't 1151 01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:13.400 be reported. 1152 01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:16.039 Which job is he here for today? 1153 01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:17.840 Anything we should know about the Middle East. 1154 01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:21.480 So we're hoping to talk to you about here, mister President. 1155 01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:25.119 He's not a good job. 1156 01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:30.400 Well, they're smart, but they're not smart enough. They oh, 1157 01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:34.119 my microphone's broken. They're smart, but they're not smart enough. 1158 01:07:34.599 --> 01:07:39.320 They have been covered by these liberal cities for so 1159 01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:43.039 many years. And that's why we're all working with Treasury, 1160 01:07:43.360 --> 01:07:48.760 with all these different departments to find the criminal conspiracy. 1161 01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:51.239 I'm just giving. 1162 01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:53.639 Yeah. 1163 01:07:53.639 --> 01:07:56.400 I was just given a note by the Secretary of 1164 01:07:56.440 --> 01:07:58.239 State saying that we're very close to a deal in 1165 01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:02.239 the Middle East, and they'll gonna need me pretty quickly. 1166 01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:07.320 Okay, now, let's talk more about it here. This is 1167 01:08:07.360 --> 01:08:10.719 from CBS News only a few hours ago. Israel and 1168 01:08:10.840 --> 01:08:15.400 Hamas reach deal to release all hostages and partially withdraw 1169 01:08:15.599 --> 01:08:19.840 Israeli troops. Trump says, let's get into it here. Israel 1170 01:08:19.840 --> 01:08:22.079 and Jamas have struck a deal for Hamas to release 1171 01:08:22.159 --> 01:08:24.880 all remaining hostages. Oh what is this little thing? Popped 1172 01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:27.960 up Jesus, and for Israel to withdraw its forces to 1173 01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:31.560 an agreed uponline President Trump announced Wednesday, in what could 1174 01:08:31.640 --> 01:08:33.680 be called the first phase of a peace deal to 1175 01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:36.960 end the two year long war. This is a great 1176 01:08:37.000 --> 01:08:40.039 day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel, all surrounding nations, 1177 01:08:40.279 --> 01:08:43.680 and the United States of America. Blessed are the Peacemakers 1178 01:08:43.760 --> 01:08:46.720 is a direct quote from his truth Social post. Two 1179 01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:49.399 regional sources told CBS News there is an agreement on 1180 01:08:49.479 --> 01:08:53.279 all sides in principle on a hostage release, but procedural 1181 01:08:53.319 --> 01:08:56.359 issues remain. Once those details are handled, it will be 1182 01:08:56.840 --> 01:09:00.000 forty eight hours before any release starts, the sources say. 1183 01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:03.960 A senior White House official told the said the hostages 1184 01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:06.560 could be released on Monday. The deal will go to 1185 01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:09.800 Israel's cabinet for approval on Thursday, and if votes yes, 1186 01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:12.880 the Israeli military will need to withdraw to an agree 1187 01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:16.560 uponline in the Gaza strip, which should take under twenty 1188 01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:19.399 four hours. Then Hamas will have seventy two hours to 1189 01:09:19.439 --> 01:09:22.560 release the hostages, the official said. In an interview Wednesday 1190 01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:27.399 night with Fox News Sean Hannity, Trump suggested that other 1191 01:09:27.560 --> 01:09:30.800 parts of the Israeli Hamas peace plan he laid out 1192 01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:34.439 last week, including a committee to oversee governance in Gaza, 1193 01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:37.960 could be forthcoming. Direct quote here it says, I think 1194 01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:40.000 you're going to see people getting along and you'll see 1195 01:09:40.039 --> 01:09:44.000 Gaza being rebuilt. The President said, that is. That is 1196 01:09:44.079 --> 01:09:47.239 wishful thinking from my layman's perspective. But all right, let's 1197 01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:49.399 keep going. People are going to be taken care of. 1198 01:09:49.439 --> 01:09:53.960 It's going to be a different world. Wow. Yep, that is. 1199 01:09:54.920 --> 01:09:57.760 That is one of the most statements that's ever been made. 1200 01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:02.000 Magid all I'm sorry. An advisor to Qatari Prime Minister 1201 01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:08.159 Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman al Taini. Jesus these names. 1202 01:10:08.800 --> 01:10:12.880 Homeboy has six names and it starts with Prime Minister 1203 01:10:13.039 --> 01:10:16.840 at eight. Okay also confirmed that the deal on Wednesday, 1204 01:10:16.880 --> 01:10:19.640 writing on x that an agreement was reached on the 1205 01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:22.680 first phase of the Gaza cease Fire Agreement, which will 1206 01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:26.039 lead to ending the war, the release of Israeli hostages 1207 01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:30.439 and Palestinian prisoners, and the entry of aid. Israeli Prime 1208 01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:33.640 Minister net Nyahu also released a short statement on the 1209 01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:36.159 hostages that read, with God's help, we will bring them 1210 01:10:36.199 --> 01:10:39.520 all home. In a follow up statement, net Nyahu said 1211 01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:41.199 it was a big day for Israel and that he 1212 01:10:41.239 --> 01:10:44.680 would convene the government to approve the agreement. And bring 1213 01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:49.039 all our dear hostages home. Net, Yahoo and Trump spoke Wednesday, 1214 01:10:49.319 --> 01:10:54.079 which the Israeli government described as very emotional and warm conversation. 1215 01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:57.760 Hamas also confirmed in a statement that it had reached 1216 01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:01.840 an agreement. The terrorist group praised Katari, Egyptian and Turkish 1217 01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:05.680 mediators in helping broker a deal, and specifically thank Trump 1218 01:11:05.720 --> 01:11:09.640 for his efforts quote unquote efforts. It also called on 1219 01:11:09.680 --> 01:11:12.439 the President to ensure that Israel fully complies with the 1220 01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:15.920 terms of the agreement. I don't know how Trump's gonna 1221 01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:17.920 make Net and Yahoo do anything but all right cool. 1222 01:11:18.640 --> 01:11:22.439 In his earlier truth social post, Trump wrote, all parties 1223 01:11:22.479 --> 01:11:25.560 will be treated fairly. The announcement came just hours after 1224 01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:27.640 Trump said that he may travel to the Middle East 1225 01:11:27.640 --> 01:11:30.840 this weekend and was open to potentially traveling to the 1226 01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:35.159 Gaza Strip. I seriously doubt Trump's gonna be making a 1227 01:11:35.199 --> 01:11:39.000 trip to the Gaza Strip that that would be sure. 1228 01:11:39.720 --> 01:11:42.119 During an unrelated event at the White House on Wednesday, 1229 01:11:42.159 --> 01:11:43.960 Trump read a note that was passed to him. We 1230 01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:46.359 just watched the video of that taking place. A little 1231 01:11:46.359 --> 01:11:49.039 over a week ago, Trump unveiled a twenty point piece 1232 01:11:49.079 --> 01:11:51.239 plan at a White House meeting with net Yahoo, who 1233 01:11:51.279 --> 01:11:54.560 expressed his full support for the proposal. The current round 1234 01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:58.319 of indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas began on October 1235 01:11:58.359 --> 01:12:04.199 sixth in Egypt, with Egyptian and Katari officials acting as intermediaries. 1236 01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:07.760 US Envoy Steve Whitkoff and Trump's son in law Jared 1237 01:12:07.800 --> 01:12:10.720 Kushner have been expected to join the talks on Wednesday, 1238 01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:14.000 days after NETANYAHUO confirmed that he had sent a delegation 1239 01:12:14.239 --> 01:12:17.600 quote to close the technical details of the release of 1240 01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:21.520 our hostages end quote. The war in Gaza, which has 1241 01:12:21.680 --> 01:12:24.439 royal the Middle East has sparked, was sparked by Maas. 1242 01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:27.680 We are the October seventh attack. We know this Israel's 1243 01:12:27.720 --> 01:12:31.239 RETALIATORYA war in Gaza against Amas, which the US and 1244 01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:34.760 Israel consider a terrorist organization, has killed more than sixty 1245 01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:39.479 seven thousand people, according to Hamas run Gaza Ministry of Health. Yes, 1246 01:12:39.720 --> 01:12:41.520 I understand there is going to be people that are 1247 01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:43.840 saying those numbers are conflated. There's going to be some 1248 01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:45.800 people that are saying that number is way too high 1249 01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:47.840 to be accurate. There's gonna be people saying that number 1250 01:12:47.880 --> 01:12:50.239 is way too low to be accurate. Not here to 1251 01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:54.319 squabble over the details. They have killed way more people 1252 01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:56.399 than what was necessary if you're just trying to take 1253 01:12:56.399 --> 01:13:00.800 out Amas. There's been far too many innocent civilian casualties 1254 01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:04.319 on this entire situation, and I think everybody can agree 1255 01:13:04.359 --> 01:13:08.640 on that. Moving on, it says yeah, it says the 1256 01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:12.399 sixty seven thousand people ran the Hamas ran Gaza Ministry 1257 01:13:12.399 --> 01:13:16.399 of Health, which does not distinguish between civilian and combatant casualties. 1258 01:13:16.840 --> 01:13:19.640 Of the two hundred and fifty one hostages who were 1259 01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:22.279 taken into Gaza, one hundred and forty eight were either 1260 01:13:22.279 --> 01:13:25.119 freed as part of previous ceasefire agreements or rescued by 1261 01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:28.600 Israeli forces. According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 1262 01:13:28.840 --> 01:13:31.760 the bodies of a number fIF of another fifty seven 1263 01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:36.159 hostages were returned or recovered. The ministry says Trump's peace 1264 01:13:36.199 --> 01:13:39.039 plan had called for Hamas to release all forty eight 1265 01:13:39.039 --> 01:13:42.159 remaining hostages. Israel believes twenty of them are still alive. 1266 01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:45.520 In return, Israel would release two hundred and fifty Palestinians 1267 01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:50.199 serving life sentences, along with approximately seventeen hundred other Gazans 1268 01:13:50.279 --> 01:13:53.319 detained since the start of the war. Hamas said on 1269 01:13:53.359 --> 01:13:56.680 October fourth, it agreed to key portions of mister Trump's 1270 01:13:56.680 --> 01:14:00.279 original proposal, including the release of hostages in exchant for 1271 01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:04.199 Palestinian prisoners hail by Israel and relinquishing its governance of Gaza, 1272 01:14:04.760 --> 01:14:06.960 but the group had said other parts of the plant 1273 01:14:07.199 --> 01:14:12.920 needed to be further negotiated. So apparently whatever further negotiations 1274 01:14:12.960 --> 01:14:17.359 needed to happen have taken place. Hopefully, I mean, I 1275 01:14:17.399 --> 01:14:21.920 don't know, but hopefully this is accurate. Hopefully this will 1276 01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:24.319 be step one, whether it's a three point plan or 1277 01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:27.159 a twenty point plan, or whatever the case is. I 1278 01:14:27.199 --> 01:14:29.920 think everybody, regardless of what side of the aisle you're 1279 01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:34.239 currently sitting on, or whatever religious deity you worship, I 1280 01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:36.760 think we can all agree that we just want that 1281 01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:40.079 whole situation to stop. I think we're on the same 1282 01:14:40.079 --> 01:14:40.600 page here. 1283 01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:43.079 I do have a question, Jacob, go ahead. 1284 01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:48.560 So Hamas is saying that Isael is committing a genocide 1285 01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:51.760 against him, I just I still don't understand why they 1286 01:14:51.760 --> 01:14:57.840 would say that when they their tenant of their deaths 1287 01:14:57.880 --> 01:15:02.000 go is to kill every Jew from the river to 1288 01:15:02.039 --> 01:15:05.399 the sea, and to kill all Americans. So if they 1289 01:15:05.439 --> 01:15:07.600 want to commit a genocide, why are they saying, Oh, 1290 01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:11.279 they're killing all of us, Shame on them. 1291 01:15:11.600 --> 01:15:15.520 So now we're getting into the tricky portion of the 1292 01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:21.119 conflict in this region, right because Hamas is representing the 1293 01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:27.000 side that says that Israelis are occupiers, illegally occupying what 1294 01:15:27.159 --> 01:15:31.079 was once their land. On the other side, the Israelis 1295 01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:34.079 are saying, the Gazans and the Palestinians should be grateful 1296 01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:37.039 that we're giving them this land to live on. It's 1297 01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:40.119 and I'm not going to weigh in on either side, 1298 01:15:40.159 --> 01:15:42.119 to be honest with you, because to do so would 1299 01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:47.079 be getting into the messy situation of the founding of 1300 01:15:47.079 --> 01:15:50.399 the nation in the first place. Then we continue on 1301 01:15:50.479 --> 01:15:53.560 to the religious and moral dogmas of either side of 1302 01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:57.159 this conversation. It gets messier and messier the more you 1303 01:15:57.199 --> 01:15:59.760 look into it, as far as a genocide on one 1304 01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:03.680 side of the other and same thing there. There's an 1305 01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:05.680 argument that could be said to say that if Hamas 1306 01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:08.760 would just put down their guns, then this conflict would 1307 01:16:08.760 --> 01:16:13.319 have been over months ago. But if Israelis would have 1308 01:16:13.319 --> 01:16:16.720 put down their guns, would the conflict also have been 1309 01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:18.920 done months ago? Or would Hamas have taken that as 1310 01:16:18.920 --> 01:16:21.800 a sign of weakness and made a counter offensive. And 1311 01:16:21.880 --> 01:16:23.640 this is what I'm saying. It's it's all up in 1312 01:16:23.680 --> 01:16:25.479 the air of the what ifs and the how ziffs 1313 01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:27.960 and the who ziffs, and it's just there is no 1314 01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:30.920 clear cut answer. There are no good guys, no matter 1315 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:34.079 which way you slice this one. Who started the conversation 1316 01:16:34.199 --> 01:16:37.359 and who shot the first shot. Yes, Hamas did do 1317 01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:41.600 their attack on October seventh. Nobody's denying that that took place. However, 1318 01:16:41.880 --> 01:16:44.520 who funded that? If you really want to go up 1319 01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:48.319 the chain far enough, Biden did because Biden gave Iran 1320 01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:51.880 six billion dollars. Those six billion dollars were used in 1321 01:16:52.079 --> 01:16:55.199 military aid that was sent to Hamas to give them 1322 01:16:55.239 --> 01:16:58.439 the push that they needed to make their attack into Israel. 1323 01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:01.800 And let's not negate the fact that that allegedly Gaza 1324 01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:05.800 is an open air prison and they're under strict surveillance 1325 01:17:05.800 --> 01:17:07.920 and all these things for years and years and years. 1326 01:17:08.119 --> 01:17:12.960 Yet somehow Mussad, the world's greatest intelligence organization ever period ever, 1327 01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:17.560 missed the amassing of weapons and troops and all these things. 1328 01:17:17.560 --> 01:17:20.239 For the weeks leading up to the attack. Mussad just 1329 01:17:20.800 --> 01:17:23.800 kind of didn't look at the cameras on their prison 1330 01:17:25.720 --> 01:17:28.239 Like I said, the more you dig into this, the 1331 01:17:28.439 --> 01:17:32.680 messier it gets. And not even trying to go conspiratorial 1332 01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:34.239 with it, but you kind of can't. 1333 01:17:35.439 --> 01:17:38.520 Yeah, I'm just gonna say I blame Sayah because she 1334 01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:42.199 didn't have faith in the Lord. If she she should 1335 01:17:42.199 --> 01:17:44.079 have just had faith in the Lord. And I told 1336 01:17:44.119 --> 01:17:46.520 Abraham to fuck your safe and then none of this 1337 01:17:46.600 --> 01:17:48.399 shit would be happening. Yeah. 1338 01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:51.840 Again, like, the deeper you get into it, the more 1339 01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:55.479 that the religious dogmas and stories come into play, and 1340 01:17:55.520 --> 01:17:58.800 it's it gets messier the more you look. 1341 01:17:59.319 --> 01:18:02.520 The tribe of Israel and the tribe of Ishmael forever 1342 01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:06.680 brother tribes forever in a fucking blood death snatch, the 1343 01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:08.800 like the hat Fild and the Coois of the desert. 1344 01:18:09.079 --> 01:18:13.039 So geopolitics don't really care about the stories of the 1345 01:18:13.079 --> 01:18:15.800 Old Testament. But at the same time, you can't remove 1346 01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:18.560 those from the situation that has led to the geopolitics 1347 01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:23.119 of today. It's the two are innerlocked for all time. 1348 01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:25.800 So it is what it is, Tony, I see you, 1349 01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:27.399 unmuted brother, go ahead. 1350 01:18:28.239 --> 01:18:32.479 Okay, Yeah, I got a lot here. I think the Abraham, 1351 01:18:32.600 --> 01:18:36.319 Ishmael and Isaac probably were not real people, but they 1352 01:18:36.359 --> 01:18:38.479 might as well have been because I think these tribes 1353 01:18:38.479 --> 01:18:40.560 have been at war with each other for a long 1354 01:18:40.600 --> 01:18:42.680 time and they kind of made up the story of 1355 01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:47.279 Isaac and Ishmael as a backstory to explain why they're 1356 01:18:47.279 --> 01:18:50.199 doing what they're doing. And this has happened in other 1357 01:18:50.520 --> 01:18:54.119 societies too, like the Gypsies with the story of stealing 1358 01:18:54.319 --> 01:18:56.840 some nails or something. They probably never happened, but they 1359 01:18:56.920 --> 01:18:58.560 just feel like they need a backstory. 1360 01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:01.319 Have you heard of that that the Gypsy stole the 1361 01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:04.640 nails that were used to crucify Christ and all these things. 1362 01:19:05.279 --> 01:19:07.520 That's their story. I don't believe it's actually true, but 1363 01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:08.880 I believe they made it up. 1364 01:19:09.119 --> 01:19:09.239 Bro. 1365 01:19:09.359 --> 01:19:09.840 Have you heard it? 1366 01:19:09.920 --> 01:19:12.359 Similar stories wander the Earth? 1367 01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:15.439 Yeah, same story with the Cagos. Have you heard of them? 1368 01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:16.800 No, never heard of them. 1369 01:19:17.159 --> 01:19:18.600 I'm going to do an episode on them on the 1370 01:19:18.600 --> 01:19:22.279 Cult here soon. But basically, they are a group that 1371 01:19:22.720 --> 01:19:26.079 some claim or the carpenters that built the cross that 1372 01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:30.359 Jesus was nailed to and it's it's so crazy, it's 1373 01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:33.199 so anyway detracting. Continue with your thoughts. 1374 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:37.399 On Okay, Well, Gaza and Palestine have just been screwed 1375 01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:42.000 since the forties, and Gaza in particular since two thousand 1376 01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:46.800 and five had it had had Israeli settlements inside it. 1377 01:19:46.800 --> 01:19:49.279 But in two thousand and five the Israeli government decided 1378 01:19:49.319 --> 01:19:52.079 that all the Israeli settlers need to leave Gaza, so 1379 01:19:52.119 --> 01:19:54.399 they pulled them out, and they pulled it had been 1380 01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:57.319 under kind of a military occupation where soldiers could just 1381 01:19:57.359 --> 01:20:00.560 go in and go anywhere they wanted. But and they pulled 1382 01:20:00.560 --> 01:20:04.279 all the soldiers to the perimeter. And in my opinion, 1383 01:20:04.319 --> 01:20:06.239 it really was a prison. It didn't have an airport, 1384 01:20:06.359 --> 01:20:12.199 didn't have a seaport. They were not allowed to fish beyond, 1385 01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:14.439 you know, a few hundred feet from the shore. In fact, 1386 01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:17.359 this brings up one thing about that flotilla. The flotilla 1387 01:20:17.600 --> 01:20:20.840 actually distracted the Israeli navy so much that the gozen's 1388 01:20:20.880 --> 01:20:24.239 actually got the fish. Last week they got to catch 1389 01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:26.279 big nets full of fish for the first time in 1390 01:20:26.319 --> 01:20:26.920 a long time. 1391 01:20:27.199 --> 01:20:27.600 Wow. 1392 01:20:27.760 --> 01:20:29.640 And they filmed it and posted it like, yeah, we 1393 01:20:29.680 --> 01:20:31.840 haven't gotten to do this in a couple of years. 1394 01:20:33.159 --> 01:20:37.479 But I don't think that it's true that the Palestinians 1395 01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:39.560 really want to kill all the Jews. I think that's 1396 01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:44.960 exaggerated propaganda. They really just want the land that they're 1397 01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:47.000 living on. They want to be able to collect the 1398 01:20:47.039 --> 01:20:50.199 water that rains down on them. They want to have 1399 01:20:50.239 --> 01:20:52.600 the right to, you know, all the stuff that goes 1400 01:20:52.640 --> 01:20:55.279 with that land. They want to have electricity, they want 1401 01:20:55.279 --> 01:20:57.600 to have all this. They want to have a state. 1402 01:20:58.079 --> 01:20:59.399 They don't have a state right now. 1403 01:20:59.439 --> 01:21:03.239 That's when you say that, when you say the Palestinians 1404 01:21:03.239 --> 01:21:06.000 want this, you are not talking about Hamas. You're talking 1405 01:21:06.039 --> 01:21:09.239 about the average family that's living in Gaza at this time. 1406 01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:14.239 Correct, because about non Hamas, but I think it probably 1407 01:21:14.279 --> 01:21:16.800 relates to Hamas too. I would have to read their charter. 1408 01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:19.520 I think they don't recognize the right of Israel to 1409 01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:23.479 exist as a state. I does want to say kill 1410 01:21:23.520 --> 01:21:25.720 all the Jews. I don't think that's what they're after. 1411 01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:30.479 Genocide, dude. Hamas has been on that kick for quite 1412 01:21:30.479 --> 01:21:30.840 some time. 1413 01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:32.560 They want to they want to kill all the Jews 1414 01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:34.479 in the world, or just all the Jews in Israel. 1415 01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:38.880 Only israelis not Jewish people, not the religion. Hamas didn't 1416 01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:41.399 worried about them, although they because they're Muslim, they probably 1417 01:21:41.399 --> 01:21:44.000 have their own opinion on that one. But no, the 1418 01:21:44.840 --> 01:21:48.039 just in general, Hamas wants a genocide of all Israelis, 1419 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:48.760 that is for sure. 1420 01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:53.079 If you say so, I don't really believe it, but 1421 01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:54.359 I'll try to look it up. 1422 01:21:55.760 --> 01:22:01.199 There, like Iman, of the fucking natives of each Muslim 1423 01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:05.119 fucking world, they're all saying to globalize the Dafada, a 1424 01:22:05.239 --> 01:22:06.079 holy walk. 1425 01:22:05.920 --> 01:22:06.720 Kill every Jew. 1426 01:22:07.239 --> 01:22:12.840 And the first fucking tenant of Hamas and Hezbollah is 1427 01:22:13.880 --> 01:22:14.439 death to the. 1428 01:22:14.439 --> 01:22:15.880 Jews and death to America. 1429 01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:18.439 They don't say death to Israel, they say death to 1430 01:22:18.479 --> 01:22:19.000 the Jews. 1431 01:22:19.560 --> 01:22:21.399 And I mean it depends on what country you go to. 1432 01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:23.760 Some countries are more extreme than others as far as 1433 01:22:23.800 --> 01:22:28.680 their beliefs of the Hadith and certain factions of the 1434 01:22:28.760 --> 01:22:32.119 Islamic religion. That is for sure. There's more liberal Muslims 1435 01:22:32.159 --> 01:22:34.680 on earth. And by liberal, I don't mean like democrat. 1436 01:22:34.800 --> 01:22:38.319 I mean as far as that goes. They might observe 1437 01:22:38.359 --> 01:22:41.279 the Qur'an, but they're also not trying to start a 1438 01:22:41.359 --> 01:22:44.199 jihad either. You know, there's more of them on earth 1439 01:22:44.279 --> 01:22:47.600 than there are radical Muslims. That is a fact that 1440 01:22:47.680 --> 01:22:49.960 being said. I mean, even we just did an episode 1441 01:22:50.000 --> 01:22:52.399 on the Cult talking about the Christian genocide going on 1442 01:22:52.640 --> 01:22:56.319 around the world. In Nigeria, thousands of Christians have been 1443 01:22:56.399 --> 01:23:01.600 murdered and crucified. Also, thousands of liberal Muslims have been 1444 01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:04.920 murdered by the Muslim extremists, so there's infighting within the 1445 01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:05.800 religion as well. 1446 01:23:06.279 --> 01:23:09.760 They're also killing Jewss. You can't forget about the Jews. 1447 01:23:10.039 --> 01:23:12.640 And which is funny because I even bought that up 1448 01:23:12.680 --> 01:23:16.079 because I CoA because I talking shit. Stand while all 1449 01:23:16.079 --> 01:23:18.239 the Jews are killing the Muslims and they ain't did shit. 1450 01:23:18.279 --> 01:23:23.119 Hamasas should all misunderstood. I'm like you doualize that Hamas 1451 01:23:23.199 --> 01:23:26.920 is killing their own people, using them as human meat shields, 1452 01:23:26.960 --> 01:23:29.840 and they're killing not just the Jews, of killing cushions 1453 01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:31.199 and their own people. 1454 01:23:31.680 --> 01:23:35.640 And I'll say that I haven't seen or heard any 1455 01:23:35.680 --> 01:23:40.960 reports of Hamas fighters using Palestinians as human shields. Now, 1456 01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:45.960 there are other examples of other Muslim countries doing that. Absolutely, 1457 01:23:45.960 --> 01:23:48.640 that was happening in Afghanistan. There are a few cases 1458 01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:51.960 of that happening in Iraq. I haven't physically, with my 1459 01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:54.960 own eyeballs, seen any example of that going on. As 1460 01:23:54.960 --> 01:23:58.399 far as this particular scuffle is concerned, I should say. 1461 01:23:58.279 --> 01:24:00.800 That, Okay, Jacob, what do you call it? 1462 01:24:00.840 --> 01:24:06.600 When they knowingly hide in a fucking church filled with people. 1463 01:24:06.840 --> 01:24:08.720 What do you call it when they hide in in 1464 01:24:08.800 --> 01:24:11.000 a children's hospital, knowing. 1465 01:24:11.399 --> 01:24:13.479 Hidden in the church. I'm not aware of any not 1466 01:24:13.560 --> 01:24:13.960 a church. 1467 01:24:14.399 --> 01:24:16.439 They never hidden the church, but they were using that 1468 01:24:16.560 --> 01:24:19.079 hospital as a weapons cash and that was discovered later. 1469 01:24:19.199 --> 01:24:23.880 So to your point, that's been confirmed by multiple non 1470 01:24:24.039 --> 01:24:25.239 Israeli sources. 1471 01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:31.119 They I don't believe that Al Shifa, we would that, yeah, 1472 01:24:31.199 --> 01:24:35.000 al Shifa hospital with the Israeli ideaf going around pointing 1473 01:24:35.039 --> 01:24:36.800 to stuff like, look, this is a US. Look that's 1474 01:24:36.840 --> 01:24:38.520 some of us. And he's pointing to like a random 1475 01:24:38.560 --> 01:24:40.600 calendar or something. Look at all this Arabic writing. 1476 01:24:40.760 --> 01:24:44.600 No, no, not that I have seen videos of that. 1477 01:24:44.760 --> 01:24:48.560 True, But yeah, I think that the Middle East will 1478 01:24:48.600 --> 01:24:52.840 never have peace. I think it's aesthetical to both of them, 1479 01:24:52.840 --> 01:24:56.239 because they both say, well, this is our promise said, 1480 01:24:56.359 --> 01:24:59.000 even though that the con says that Israel belongs to 1481 01:24:59.039 --> 01:25:03.359 the Jews. So and I have led the Koran and 1482 01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:06.119 I am still currently reading it, and the more I 1483 01:25:06.199 --> 01:25:06.680 read it. 1484 01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:08.520 The more and more pissed off I become. 1485 01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:12.840 Because it's not a good read. I should mention that. 1486 01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:16.279 I dare say it is about this. 1487 01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:19.720 I put it on the lines of about the same 1488 01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:20.279 as mine. 1489 01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:22.920 Comp useless. 1490 01:25:23.239 --> 01:25:25.479 Now, I will say this if you're if anybody listening 1491 01:25:25.520 --> 01:25:27.920 wants to check out the Quran for themselves and you 1492 01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:31.800 are of the American variety, there is a version of 1493 01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:35.039 the Quran where they are put in sequential order. The 1494 01:25:35.880 --> 01:25:39.880 regular Quran does not have them in like historicity order. 1495 01:25:40.239 --> 01:25:43.359 They go from order of largest book to smallest book 1496 01:25:43.439 --> 01:25:46.000 or vice versa, and you have to jump book to 1497 01:25:46.039 --> 01:25:48.720 book to find the order of precedence. There are versions 1498 01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:51.640 that you can find of them going A, B, C, 1499 01:25:51.920 --> 01:25:54.199 D E all the way through. So just so you're clear, 1500 01:25:54.239 --> 01:25:56.199 if you're jumping through and you're just reading it cover 1501 01:25:56.239 --> 01:25:58.560 to cover and you don't know that, you'll get a 1502 01:25:58.560 --> 01:26:01.319 little lost in the trans I'll throw that out. 1503 01:26:02.079 --> 01:26:05.760 Also, I have a fund who is Scout, who was 1504 01:26:05.800 --> 01:26:09.720 from Egypt and all he was he's a Muslim. Uh 1505 01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:13.560 would be nice dude, but he pretty much ran away. 1506 01:26:13.600 --> 01:26:18.199 He joined the Marine Corps and everything his there there's 1507 01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:23.560 a controversy around his father's death and uh yeah he is. 1508 01:26:23.680 --> 01:26:27.720 Uh his father got was found head head taken off 1509 01:26:27.760 --> 01:26:30.840 because he was raping, uh my buddy's little sister. 1510 01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:35.199 So them, Yeah. 1511 01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:39.600 Uh, the I can't remember what saint it was, but 1512 01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:43.600 the Catholic saint that what is the patron saint of 1513 01:26:43.720 --> 01:26:47.720 say of New Orleans. Uh, the one that had his 1514 01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:50.880 head that he carried his head in his own hands. 1515 01:26:51.119 --> 01:26:53.199 Damn it. I was just looking at the story of 1516 01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:56.239 that guy. That is crazy. He would be headed and 1517 01:26:56.319 --> 01:26:59.319 carried his head in his hands, still preaching as he 1518 01:26:59.439 --> 01:27:02.960 walked for seven miles before he collapsed insanate. 1519 01:27:03.880 --> 01:27:06.760 His death is also referenced in h Red Dead Redemption 1520 01:27:07.439 --> 01:27:09.840 uh two, which by far is better than out of 1521 01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:14.119 those two games. But no, uh, my buddy, I'm not 1522 01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:18.680 gonna say his name, but yeah he uh, well, we 1523 01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:21.399 got drunk together and all, and he said that the 1524 01:27:21.640 --> 01:27:24.479 it was the happiest day of his life. The bating 1525 01:27:24.560 --> 01:27:27.439 stopped and he was just happy his sister's safe. But 1526 01:27:27.560 --> 01:27:31.039 he went out of the community and he joined the 1527 01:27:31.039 --> 01:27:31.760 Marine Corps. 1528 01:27:32.000 --> 01:27:36.279 Yeah, okay, so that would be Dennis of Paris, Saint 1529 01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:40.079 Dennis and his companions Roostus and Luthrius. 1530 01:27:40.119 --> 01:27:44.800 Okay, St Denis because in Red Dead Redmson, Uh, the 1531 01:27:44.840 --> 01:27:47.680 town of New Orleans is named after him, and it's 1532 01:27:47.720 --> 01:27:48.840 pronounced San Denis. 1533 01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:49.880 Well, not in French. 1534 01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:53.119 It yeah, in French that would be Denis. In English, 1535 01:27:53.159 --> 01:27:55.039 that'd be Dennis, because in French you don't pronounce the 1536 01:27:55.119 --> 01:27:57.600 last letter, and the eye makes the e noise, not 1537 01:27:57.720 --> 01:27:59.039 he is in the letter like he is in the 1538 01:27:59.039 --> 01:28:02.880 mouth sound, So that would be Saint Denis. His martyrdom. 1539 01:28:02.880 --> 01:28:06.520 After being arrested, the three men were executed by beheading 1540 01:28:06.560 --> 01:28:09.760 on the highest hill in Paris known as the montmart 1541 01:28:10.279 --> 01:28:11.600 or Mountain of Martyrs. 1542 01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:12.119 Uh. 1543 01:28:12.159 --> 01:28:14.880 Following his decapitation, Dennis's body is said to have picked 1544 01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:17.000 up his own head and he walked for several I 1545 01:28:17.039 --> 01:28:23.000 said seven several miles, all while preaching a sermon on repentance. Uh. Yeah. 1546 01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:25.359 His final place is at the Basilica of Saint Denis, 1547 01:28:25.359 --> 01:28:27.840 a church that became the burial place for the Kings 1548 01:28:27.880 --> 01:28:29.880 of France. So yeah, that's a wild story. 1549 01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:32.800 Keep in mind that he's not the only person who 1550 01:28:33.319 --> 01:28:36.000 is to be said that has been decapitated and the 1551 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:41.680 body still walks and does everything. Hell Edward, thatch or teacher, whichever, 1552 01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:44.720 what pronunciation you want to call a good old blackbeard 1553 01:28:45.159 --> 01:28:47.800 got shot, stabbed and got his head cut off, and 1554 01:28:47.880 --> 01:28:51.239 yet he swam around the Queen Anne's revenge for seven laps. 1555 01:28:51.720 --> 01:28:52.399 That's crazy. 1556 01:28:52.479 --> 01:28:56.880 Dude, howld legend goes, and then you have a resputin 1557 01:28:56.920 --> 01:29:02.239 he got shot, stabbed, castrated, poisoned, bludgeoned, drown and that 1558 01:29:02.479 --> 01:29:04.720 they thought he killed him and what actually killed him 1559 01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:11.039 was he drowned to death. Also, the communist puck is 1560 01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:13.880 actually on display in a pickled jar. 1561 01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:16.920 Yeahquck is on display. 1562 01:29:17.880 --> 01:29:20.159 All right. Yeah, so we kind of way detracted from you, Tony, 1563 01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:23.920 So go ahead. We were talking about the Hamas Israel situation, 1564 01:29:24.840 --> 01:29:26.359 and I agree with you. I don't think that this 1565 01:29:26.479 --> 01:29:29.560 is gonna meet a neat end, but I really hope 1566 01:29:29.600 --> 01:29:31.199 it does well. 1567 01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:33.840 I was also researching a little bit about the Hamas 1568 01:29:33.960 --> 01:29:36.520 Charter in nineteen eighty eight. Their charter did quote a 1569 01:29:36.560 --> 01:29:39.960 hadith saying there will be a final battle between Muslims 1570 01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:45.359 and Jews, but their twenty seventeen charter softened that a lot, 1571 01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:51.600 and it specifically said that their struggles against Zionism and 1572 01:29:51.760 --> 01:29:54.359 not against Jews and not against the Jewish religion. So 1573 01:29:54.399 --> 01:29:57.600 they tried to soften it right there. Definitely, And if 1574 01:29:57.600 --> 01:30:01.560 you want to complain about the Hajeths, really not any 1575 01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:05.439 garcier than the Old Testament in my opinion, So anyone 1576 01:30:05.520 --> 01:30:09.640 quoting ancient literature like this is definitely going to run 1577 01:30:09.680 --> 01:30:14.720 into embarrassing stuff. So I think that the way Hamas 1578 01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:18.399 is and the way Palestinian terrorism is in Islamic's terrorism 1579 01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:22.920 is in general, it's mostly like ninety nine percent a 1580 01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:27.720 result of the Israeli occupation of the land that they 1581 01:30:27.840 --> 01:30:31.159 used to live on. And you know, of course they're 1582 01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:32.159 pissed off about that. 1583 01:30:32.680 --> 01:30:34.880 I have to push back a little bit on you here, dude. 1584 01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:37.439 I think that their extremism, as far as this goes, 1585 01:30:37.520 --> 01:30:42.199 predates the nation state of Israel by centuries. I mean, 1586 01:30:42.239 --> 01:30:44.319 we could even look to not even talking about the 1587 01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:47.760 Caliphates and the Crusades or any of these things. We 1588 01:30:47.760 --> 01:30:50.840 could even look at the Barbary Pirates. The reason why 1589 01:30:50.880 --> 01:30:54.039 the Marine Corps was sent to Tripoli, right, was because 1590 01:30:54.560 --> 01:30:57.520 there was a ship that ran aground and the captors 1591 01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:01.840 were beheaded because they would not convert to Islam. Thomas Jefferson, 1592 01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:03.800 who was the president at the time, could not understand 1593 01:31:03.840 --> 01:31:06.399 why they would behead the prisoners, like because they wouldn't 1594 01:31:06.399 --> 01:31:10.079 convert to a religious idea ideation, Why wouldn't they ransom 1595 01:31:10.159 --> 01:31:13.399 them or something along these lines. So Thomas Jefferson read 1596 01:31:13.560 --> 01:31:16.720 the Quran and read these books and realized like, oh, 1597 01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:20.079 this is a part of their religion, like forced conversion. 1598 01:31:20.159 --> 01:31:22.479 At sword points he was like, got you, So we're 1599 01:31:22.479 --> 01:31:24.000 just going to handle that, and that led to the 1600 01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:27.600 Barbary Wars. So as far as Islam being a religion 1601 01:31:27.640 --> 01:31:30.960 of peace, I have to say that is completely anti 1602 01:31:31.239 --> 01:31:36.159 antithetical to what the warlord known as Mohammad the prophet 1603 01:31:36.239 --> 01:31:40.239 quote unquote was actually about what he actually preached what 1604 01:31:41.159 --> 01:31:43.319 he was also a pedophile, Yeah, yeah, for sure, he 1605 01:31:43.359 --> 01:31:43.840 was a pedophile. 1606 01:31:43.880 --> 01:31:49.640 I thought, well, well, Palestine before the nineteen forties it 1607 01:31:49.720 --> 01:31:53.840 had a pretty large, very large Muslim population is probably 1608 01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:59.239 like split on here, like sixty percent Muslim, thirty Christian, 1609 01:31:59.319 --> 01:32:02.319 and ten percent Jewish, that's my guess. And Jerusalem in 1610 01:32:02.359 --> 01:32:05.920 particular had a pretty large Jewish population for sure, even 1611 01:32:05.960 --> 01:32:08.039 as far back as the eighteen hundreds. So it seems 1612 01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:13.079 like under Ottoman rule episodically there might have been some violence, 1613 01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:15.640 but broadly speaking, most of the time people got along 1614 01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:20.840 better and there was more religious diversity than there is today. Now. 1615 01:32:20.920 --> 01:32:23.880 It seems like Israel really wants to rule the place 1616 01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:27.319 and the other people just do not get political rights. 1617 01:32:27.359 --> 01:32:29.640 They don't get statehood, and that's a problem. 1618 01:32:29.960 --> 01:32:32.960 Jerusalem has going been a weird case study. There was 1619 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:35.520 actually a book written, I think it's called nine hundred 1620 01:32:35.560 --> 01:32:41.159 Years of History of Jerusalem, and that city alone, not Israel, 1621 01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:46.800 not Judea, not Palestine, not the land mass itself. The 1622 01:32:46.880 --> 01:32:51.720 city of Jerusalem has been a peaceful melting pot for 1623 01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:56.079 the vast majority of the last two millennia. We're really 1624 01:32:56.079 --> 01:32:59.399 going to look at it here because not only do 1625 01:32:59.479 --> 01:33:02.800 the Christian, not only do the Jews, but includingly the 1626 01:33:02.880 --> 01:33:06.520 Muslims see it as a holy city with holy sites. 1627 01:33:07.399 --> 01:33:09.039 There is examples, as a matter of fact, when the 1628 01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:12.920 Knights Templars ran or that city for a portion of time, 1629 01:33:13.640 --> 01:33:17.079 they allowed Muslims to come in and worship at the 1630 01:33:17.119 --> 01:33:19.800 Dome of the Rock. Now not massive armies, of course, 1631 01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:22.840 it was case by case, but there's examples of the 1632 01:33:22.920 --> 01:33:26.039 Muslims doing very similar things for the Jews and for 1633 01:33:26.119 --> 01:33:30.119 the Christians at different points in time. So Jerusalem is 1634 01:33:30.319 --> 01:33:34.880 the outlier, it is not the rule. It is the exception. Now, 1635 01:33:34.880 --> 01:33:37.600 if we look at the land surrounding it, and we 1636 01:33:37.640 --> 01:33:41.439 look at all of Palestine, Judea, Israel, all these things, 1637 01:33:41.960 --> 01:33:45.279 that land has been under a lot of contention for 1638 01:33:45.520 --> 01:33:49.079 thousands of thousands of years. So I mean, yeah, I 1639 01:33:49.079 --> 01:33:53.880 see what you're saying. There are exceptions historically speaking, but 1640 01:33:54.199 --> 01:33:59.119 I don't. Yeah, it's one of those things, man. And 1641 01:33:59.159 --> 01:34:03.279 a lot of the the Islamic tradition is based off 1642 01:34:03.319 --> 01:34:08.119 of warlord style tactics. Most of the book is written 1643 01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:12.800 about warring with quote unquote enemy tribes. Some of them 1644 01:34:12.840 --> 01:34:17.760 were true enemies, some of them were conquest versus conquistador 1645 01:34:17.880 --> 01:34:21.840 style things. It just, yeah, it's not a it's not 1646 01:34:21.880 --> 01:34:24.439 a clean it's not a clean history. But then again, 1647 01:34:24.840 --> 01:34:28.319 most history is not clean, So go ahead, Sam, Look 1648 01:34:28.359 --> 01:34:29.960 you are like dying over here. 1649 01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:37.760 So also Mohammad allegedly Mohammad of he had a unicorn 1650 01:34:37.920 --> 01:34:40.600 of black but if you look at it, it isn't 1651 01:34:40.600 --> 01:34:44.680 a unicorn. It's it's despicted as a white steed with wings, 1652 01:34:44.920 --> 01:34:47.680 and the closest thing to that would be a pegasus 1653 01:34:48.439 --> 01:34:51.720 Greek mythology, and it just goes it. 1654 01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:55.399 But haven't heard of that. All I heard was that 1655 01:34:55.439 --> 01:34:57.760 he had a dream where he wrote a donkey to Jerusalem. 1656 01:34:57.800 --> 01:34:58.439 I I don't know. 1657 01:34:59.279 --> 01:34:59.880 Yeah. 1658 01:35:00.840 --> 01:35:04.199 It also said that when he did it, he rose 1659 01:35:04.279 --> 01:35:07.640 up and that's how he was ordained by God, and 1660 01:35:07.720 --> 01:35:10.479 God told him how to play five times a day 1661 01:35:10.520 --> 01:35:16.760 and everything. But it's just weird because if before it 1662 01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:19.319 was Palestine, it was is one. And the only reason 1663 01:35:19.319 --> 01:35:23.199 why the name of Palestine or Palestine was given was 1664 01:35:23.239 --> 01:35:27.359 because of the Romans being a fucking dick, well, because 1665 01:35:27.439 --> 01:35:30.279 they were afraid of the Jews having a second uprising. 1666 01:35:30.720 --> 01:35:33.359 They know they did have a second uprising, which is 1667 01:35:33.399 --> 01:35:35.800 why they were expelled from the land and why they 1668 01:35:35.840 --> 01:35:38.600 said that this will no longer be called Judea and 1669 01:35:38.680 --> 01:35:41.479 they changed it to Palestine for sure, wasn't it. 1670 01:35:41.439 --> 01:35:44.279 Like Syria Palestine? The technical tone. 1671 01:35:44.000 --> 01:35:46.079 Of it, I think, yeah, yeah. 1672 01:35:46.159 --> 01:35:48.520 This would have been around one hundred and thirty five AD, 1673 01:35:48.560 --> 01:35:51.159 if I'm not mistaken. But the name of Palestine also 1674 01:35:51.199 --> 01:35:53.720 goes back to Herodotus, which would have been about five 1675 01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:58.119 hundred years earlier, for sixty BC. So these competing names 1676 01:35:58.239 --> 01:35:59.640 existed even way back then. 1677 01:36:00.439 --> 01:36:04.680 Do you mean the man that that was it or 1678 01:36:04.800 --> 01:36:08.239 was it a plutarl So. 1679 01:36:09.680 --> 01:36:11.359 I thought I heard you say Plutarch. I don't know 1680 01:36:11.399 --> 01:36:12.399 anything about Plutarch. 1681 01:36:12.479 --> 01:36:14.640 Really, I don't know what Plutarch, but I was my 1682 01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:15.960 I said Plato. 1683 01:36:16.399 --> 01:36:20.079 I met Plato, not because Pluto is the Roman version 1684 01:36:20.119 --> 01:36:20.960 of Hades. 1685 01:36:21.399 --> 01:36:29.279 Uh, Plato, Pluto was the Greek equivalent or the Roman 1686 01:36:29.319 --> 01:36:29.880 equivalent of it. 1687 01:36:30.039 --> 01:36:34.079 That's what I'm saying. Was a philosopher, That's what I 1688 01:36:34.119 --> 01:36:36.279 was trying to say. I can't remember which one was 1689 01:36:36.319 --> 01:36:42.199 also the one that that was depicting, Uh. 1690 01:36:40.199 --> 01:36:40.279 The. 1691 01:36:42.600 --> 01:36:47.520 Atlantis past, the straight the Strait of Gibraltar, which was 1692 01:36:47.600 --> 01:36:50.880 known as the Pillars of Heracles, not Hercules, because that's 1693 01:36:50.920 --> 01:36:54.880 the Roman variation. His name in Greece would have been Heracles, 1694 01:36:55.079 --> 01:36:58.159 named after his stepmother, which she tried to kill him 1695 01:36:58.159 --> 01:36:59.920 because she's a royal fucking toun. 1696 01:37:00.239 --> 01:37:04.439 Yeah, so that Plato made the claims about Atlantis and 1697 01:37:04.479 --> 01:37:07.720 things like that. Now, Plutarch was also a historian, but 1698 01:37:07.760 --> 01:37:11.640 that's a conversation for a whole whole different epic. But 1699 01:37:11.720 --> 01:37:16.960 he's worth the looking, He's worth the Google. I will 1700 01:37:17.000 --> 01:37:20.520 say that Plutarch is worth the Google, Yes, as well 1701 01:37:20.560 --> 01:37:23.880 as Herodotus, just so we're all clear here. But yeah, 1702 01:37:23.920 --> 01:37:27.560 these are multiple historical sources that a lot of people 1703 01:37:27.600 --> 01:37:32.079 will look at as sometimes I witness, sometimes not. But 1704 01:37:32.119 --> 01:37:35.039 they're closer to the events that took place than we are. 1705 01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:37.079 So I mean a lot of people use them as sources, 1706 01:37:37.119 --> 01:37:39.880 and yes, some of their things that they wrote about 1707 01:37:40.039 --> 01:37:44.840 are subject to interpretation. I want to say it was 1708 01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:48.920 Plenty the Elder who or maybe was Plenty of the Younger. No, no, no, no, Plutarch, 1709 01:37:48.920 --> 01:37:51.640 I'm not mistaken. Damn it not, damn it. Now you 1710 01:37:51.720 --> 01:37:53.760 got me all turned upside down. I'm trying to think 1711 01:37:53.760 --> 01:37:55.880 of which one wrote the first encyclopedia. I want to 1712 01:37:55.920 --> 01:37:57.439 say it was Plenty of the Elder. 1713 01:37:57.760 --> 01:38:01.279 Which one was the one that wrote about and everybody said, oh, 1714 01:38:01.319 --> 01:38:04.279 that's just mythical until we actually found the fucking uh. 1715 01:38:06.920 --> 01:38:07.880 Yeah. 1716 01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:08.239 Yeah. 1717 01:38:08.319 --> 01:38:11.640 He also wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey correct. 1718 01:38:11.720 --> 01:38:14.520 Yes, which is the only time where Troy was actually 1719 01:38:14.560 --> 01:38:17.000 mentioned by anything. Yeah, it was Plenty of the Elder 1720 01:38:17.560 --> 01:38:20.800 hit in natural history, that's the word. That's the book 1721 01:38:20.800 --> 01:38:22.720 that I'm thinking of. And I mean, even he is 1722 01:38:22.760 --> 01:38:25.319 seen as a source for so much history, but even 1723 01:38:25.359 --> 01:38:29.239 then he goes on some racist tangents and I don't 1724 01:38:29.279 --> 01:38:31.119 mean that, and like what we think of is racist 1725 01:38:31.439 --> 01:38:34.800 about sub Saharan Africa and about certain places like in 1726 01:38:34.880 --> 01:38:39.039 Indian and things. It's it's it's bad. He compares them 1727 01:38:39.079 --> 01:38:42.840 to literal animals, and that was seen as like the 1728 01:38:43.199 --> 01:38:46.600 historical figure for the first century a d for the 1729 01:38:46.680 --> 01:38:47.439 Roman Empire. 1730 01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:52.880 So I know the Romans saw the Germanic people as savages. 1731 01:38:53.680 --> 01:38:57.159 Well, I mean, to be fair, Rome had some asseembilance 1732 01:38:57.199 --> 01:39:01.279 of civilization. Then you had the the Gauls, who were 1733 01:39:01.319 --> 01:39:04.359 scalping dudes, even though the Romans did some very heinous 1734 01:39:04.359 --> 01:39:06.560 shit as well. But yeah, if you're looking at the 1735 01:39:06.560 --> 01:39:08.119 the way that they would fight like, they would go 1736 01:39:08.119 --> 01:39:11.119 into battle naked half the time, and the Romans were 1737 01:39:11.119 --> 01:39:14.000 wearing like iron armors, so like to them, they'd see 1738 01:39:14.000 --> 01:39:17.119 this as a barbarian horde. In reality, it was like 1739 01:39:17.159 --> 01:39:19.239 a test of their manhood that they didn't even need 1740 01:39:19.359 --> 01:39:23.439 armor because they were so bad ass. And there's cultural interpretations, 1741 01:39:23.800 --> 01:39:25.560 I think is what we can take on this one. 1742 01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:28.319 You would think that Romans, since they were a quote 1743 01:39:28.399 --> 01:39:32.520 unquote global fucking empower, which for the record, they were. Oh, 1744 01:39:32.920 --> 01:39:36.439 you would think that they'd actually evolve past the failings 1745 01:39:36.479 --> 01:39:40.760 after fighting so long against motherfuckers, were aos that actually 1746 01:39:40.800 --> 01:39:42.920 figure out how to counteract them. 1747 01:39:43.159 --> 01:39:46.279 Oh, they did. But the Romans, that was their biggest attribute. 1748 01:39:46.359 --> 01:39:48.520 They that's when they formed up the turtle rather than 1749 01:39:48.520 --> 01:39:51.039 the Phalanx. Right in the earlier days of the Roman Empire, 1750 01:39:51.079 --> 01:39:55.279 they fought with the Philings, but then when trajectory weapons 1751 01:39:55.319 --> 01:39:58.520 aka arrows became more prevalent, that's when they formed up 1752 01:39:58.520 --> 01:40:03.560 into the turtle into the manner pull battle formations. 1753 01:40:02.840 --> 01:40:05.760 Which is really good because I actually used that one 1754 01:40:05.800 --> 01:40:11.640 time doing ah. I used to live actionable play. I'm 1755 01:40:11.680 --> 01:40:12.239 not gonna lie. 1756 01:40:12.319 --> 01:40:15.840 I liked were you were you a part of s 1757 01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:16.079 c A. 1758 01:40:17.399 --> 01:40:21.840 I don't know what that one is, but I uh know, 1759 01:40:22.279 --> 01:40:27.000 so I had the guys throw shields up and everything, 1760 01:40:27.159 --> 01:40:28.239 and we actually took it. 1761 01:40:28.279 --> 01:40:31.560 But I was talking about more of like the. 1762 01:40:30.880 --> 01:40:37.359 The horseback Archers. Yeah, because I'm I know, I learned 1763 01:40:37.399 --> 01:40:40.399 a lot through like YouTube and everything. I really love 1764 01:40:40.720 --> 01:40:46.840 unhinged history. History unhinged they were talking about like how 1765 01:40:47.279 --> 01:40:50.520 they the Romans were like when they went up against 1766 01:40:50.520 --> 01:40:54.279 the Mongols. I want to say, like the horse archeries. 1767 01:40:54.279 --> 01:40:55.640 They had a hard time. 1768 01:40:56.159 --> 01:41:01.359 Yeah no, no, no, no, that's correct. So that was all right. 1769 01:41:01.399 --> 01:41:03.479 So We're getting way off into the history conversation here, 1770 01:41:03.520 --> 01:41:05.800 but I'm good with it. I do love history. So 1771 01:41:06.119 --> 01:41:09.359 the Mongols and the Huns in general, the Golden Horde, 1772 01:41:09.800 --> 01:41:14.039 their biggest attribute was that they were excellent horsemen. And 1773 01:41:14.119 --> 01:41:16.520 the problem is that even yes, with all the armor 1774 01:41:16.600 --> 01:41:19.560 and all of the the formations and all of this, 1775 01:41:20.520 --> 01:41:24.680 no one on earth really had a strong defense against 1776 01:41:24.920 --> 01:41:28.720 horse archers like this. Everybody was more into the line 1777 01:41:28.800 --> 01:41:31.680 versus line formation. Yeah you had some calvary units, absolutely, 1778 01:41:32.399 --> 01:41:36.119 but usually those cavalry units were using lances and axes 1779 01:41:36.159 --> 01:41:39.880 and swords and things like this, more handheld weapons. And 1780 01:41:40.159 --> 01:41:42.279 being on a horse, yeah, you could charge through a formation, 1781 01:41:42.479 --> 01:41:44.520 break up a battle line, whatever the case. And it 1782 01:41:44.560 --> 01:41:47.600 was basically seen as far as battlefield tactics go, that 1783 01:41:47.760 --> 01:41:50.560 one dude on a horse was essentially worth ten guys 1784 01:41:50.600 --> 01:41:53.600 on the ground. As far as lethality on the battlefield. 1785 01:41:54.159 --> 01:41:56.840 Cut to the horse archers that were able to basically 1786 01:41:56.960 --> 01:42:00.560 run laps and just fire constant arrows at the front line. 1787 01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:03.039 Eventually you're gonna find a gap in the armor. And 1788 01:42:03.079 --> 01:42:05.479 as somebody who fights in armor, I promise you there 1789 01:42:05.600 --> 01:42:10.039 is no way that you can have completely gapless armor. 1790 01:42:10.359 --> 01:42:13.920 So eventually arrows are gonna find their gaps, and eventually 1791 01:42:13.920 --> 01:42:15.640 the lines are gonna fall. And if you've got dudes 1792 01:42:15.640 --> 01:42:18.119 on horses that are not gonna get tired, especially with 1793 01:42:18.159 --> 01:42:22.119 the Mongols because they were using shortened arrows. Right, the 1794 01:42:22.159 --> 01:42:24.880 long bow was seen as the ship for the longest time. 1795 01:42:25.399 --> 01:42:29.960 The Mongol shortened bow was something that you couldn't nobody 1796 01:42:29.960 --> 01:42:32.119 could really fight against it, and they pretty much ran 1797 01:42:32.159 --> 01:42:35.199 the reins on them figuratively speaking and literally on that 1798 01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:37.000 kind of technology for centuries. 1799 01:42:37.640 --> 01:42:40.159 What you also gotta take in mine. I can't remember 1800 01:42:40.279 --> 01:42:43.119 what general he told them, Just hold up your shield 1801 01:42:43.119 --> 01:42:44.760 will outlast their arrows. 1802 01:42:45.279 --> 01:42:45.600 That's the. 1803 01:42:47.800 --> 01:42:51.439 Yeah, we're gonna have We're gonna have guys bring us 1804 01:42:51.439 --> 01:42:55.039 small arrows. They holded arrows. They had a steady fucking 1805 01:42:55.119 --> 01:42:58.159 line and when the first body got done, those guys 1806 01:42:58.159 --> 01:43:00.119 would run back. The other guys would do it, and 1807 01:43:00.159 --> 01:43:03.520 they were just encircling it, which I find just fan 1808 01:43:03.640 --> 01:43:04.760 fucking tasting, dude. 1809 01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:09.199 That's essentially what happened. Every time that the. 1810 01:43:08.479 --> 01:43:10.760 Scourge he put a switch onto both. 1811 01:43:11.199 --> 01:43:14.319 Yeah, but every time the quote unquote scorged from the 1812 01:43:14.359 --> 01:43:17.800 East a Ka, the Huns made their way across the 1813 01:43:17.840 --> 01:43:21.279 Eurasian step. The only reason that they stopped was because 1814 01:43:21.359 --> 01:43:25.720 in fighting happened and whatever warlord was leading the charge 1815 01:43:25.800 --> 01:43:27.560 now wanting to make it back to the base that 1816 01:43:27.600 --> 01:43:30.560 he can make his claim for the for the what's 1817 01:43:30.600 --> 01:43:32.239 the term khan the khan. 1818 01:43:32.439 --> 01:43:37.840 Yes, because you had Genghis Khan, which is actually which 1819 01:43:37.880 --> 01:43:42.319 is nots but if you're gonna do it, it's Gengus, 1820 01:43:42.960 --> 01:43:45.039 then you also had which he he was a master 1821 01:43:45.159 --> 01:43:48.479 of politician too, because uh, if he would give his 1822 01:43:48.520 --> 01:43:52.239 wives to like his daughters to be wives. 1823 01:43:52.239 --> 01:43:54.560 He had stuff with who the whoever he gives his. 1824 01:43:54.520 --> 01:43:57.760 Daughter to, they had to divorce their wife and there 1825 01:43:57.800 --> 01:44:01.159 and when he died, their wives took over. So that's 1826 01:44:01.159 --> 01:44:04.800 how he built his dynasty and everything there. And also 1827 01:44:04.880 --> 01:44:08.279 the Chinese, as I say Chinese, it wasn't just them, 1828 01:44:08.439 --> 01:44:11.399 but the how helms worked in China versus the Middle 1829 01:44:11.399 --> 01:44:14.680 East is completely different. In China, it's all political. In 1830 01:44:14.720 --> 01:44:17.640 the Middle East it was all sexual. And when the 1831 01:44:18.279 --> 01:44:24.359 also to one up when the new cafiat would rise up, 1832 01:44:25.039 --> 01:44:26.880 part of that it was to one up the old man. 1833 01:44:27.000 --> 01:44:29.680 He had to beat his father's concubines. 1834 01:44:30.159 --> 01:44:35.279 Yeah that was a thing also, yeah, yeah, no, no, 1835 01:44:35.600 --> 01:44:38.600 I hear you. But so the Romans met their demise 1836 01:44:38.680 --> 01:44:41.079 also because they got too big and they couldn't cover 1837 01:44:41.159 --> 01:44:44.039 all their bases that way. I actually just watched this. Uh. 1838 01:44:44.159 --> 01:44:46.800 I forget what the name of the Persian ruler was, 1839 01:44:47.359 --> 01:44:50.880 but essentially there's only one Roman emperor to ever get 1840 01:44:50.880 --> 01:44:53.840 captured in battle, and that was Valerian. Okay, and you 1841 01:44:53.920 --> 01:44:56.880 know what happened when he was captured by this Persian ruler. 1842 01:44:57.520 --> 01:45:00.560 He and his two legions were the ones that were 1843 01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:03.640 capturing with that weren't killed, were brought back and they 1844 01:45:03.840 --> 01:45:07.760 founded two cities and they were put to use. Because 1845 01:45:07.840 --> 01:45:10.920 keep in mind, all Roman soldiers were also engineers, right, 1846 01:45:11.600 --> 01:45:14.439 they were told to build a city and then build 1847 01:45:14.560 --> 01:45:17.680 a miniature city right next to it, and because they 1848 01:45:17.720 --> 01:45:20.159 only know one style of architecture, they built these cities 1849 01:45:20.520 --> 01:45:23.880 to be Roman essentially. And once it was all said 1850 01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:27.199 and done, the Persian leader said, okay, cool, you and 1851 01:45:27.199 --> 01:45:28.840 your boys get to live here now. He also had 1852 01:45:28.880 --> 01:45:31.960 them build a palace in this city, and he told Valaria, 1853 01:45:31.960 --> 01:45:34.600 and you'll live in this palace now, right, and your 1854 01:45:34.600 --> 01:45:36.159 boys can live in the city. He's like, what are 1855 01:45:36.199 --> 01:45:38.840 we supposed to do? He's like, you built bakeries, you 1856 01:45:38.880 --> 01:45:42.119 built blacksmithing shops, all this. Take up a profession, live 1857 01:45:42.159 --> 01:45:45.079 your life here. Now, you're you're cool. Take Persian wives. 1858 01:45:45.119 --> 01:45:47.520 The whole nine. He's like, okay, He's like, you can 1859 01:45:47.560 --> 01:45:50.359 never leave, just so you know you are still prisoners, 1860 01:45:50.800 --> 01:45:53.800 but feel free to live your Roman life here. Now, 1861 01:45:54.359 --> 01:45:57.239 here's what he did. He built because it was there 1862 01:45:57.279 --> 01:46:00.880 was hills that overlooked this Roman city. He built trails 1863 01:46:01.319 --> 01:46:04.079 going around the Roman city, and he turned the two 1864 01:46:04.279 --> 01:46:09.560 captured Roman legions, including the Roman Emperor, into a tourist attraction, 1865 01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:12.760 so where all these Persians could could now come and 1866 01:46:12.800 --> 01:46:16.800 see a Roman city with a Roman emperor and pay 1867 01:46:16.960 --> 01:46:19.760 a fucking entrance fee to come see it for themselves. 1868 01:46:20.159 --> 01:46:23.319 So they were essentially the first open aired prison. 1869 01:46:23.399 --> 01:46:23.920 Huh. 1870 01:46:24.079 --> 01:46:27.039 No, they were a human zoo. They were an attraction. 1871 01:46:27.920 --> 01:46:30.680 Technically, we still have a human zoo. U. 1872 01:46:31.279 --> 01:46:35.479 Technically, the North Centinal Island is technically a human zoo 1873 01:46:35.479 --> 01:46:37.479 because you can't have anything go over there. 1874 01:46:37.840 --> 01:46:40.039 Oh we can't go there and observe him. Though we can't. 1875 01:46:40.039 --> 01:46:41.880 We can't pay an emission fee to go see him. 1876 01:46:41.920 --> 01:46:44.600 The Persians were paying an emission fee to come. Oh 1877 01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:46.960 look that's the Roman emperor. And it wasn't like a 1878 01:46:47.039 --> 01:46:49.199 mock Roman emperor, it was Valerian himself. 1879 01:46:49.800 --> 01:46:53.279 Uh. The blanc Zoo was technically a human zoo here 1880 01:46:53.279 --> 01:46:57.000 in America. For they had a pigmies like human pigmies 1881 01:46:57.079 --> 01:47:03.399 in exhibits they did. And they also p t. Bonham 1882 01:47:03.680 --> 01:47:06.039 was a fleet show. You could also say that was 1883 01:47:06.279 --> 01:47:08.640 a human zooono type because you had to pay a mission. 1884 01:47:08.920 --> 01:47:10.920 You had the bearded ladies, you had the guy that 1885 01:47:11.039 --> 01:47:16.439 the penguin Danny DeVito's Penguins mode after with the posterns. 1886 01:47:16.560 --> 01:47:18.840 Yeah, and that was a genetic trait. His dad had 1887 01:47:18.880 --> 01:47:20.560 it and then his son was born with it too. 1888 01:47:20.640 --> 01:47:21.640 It was a It was a mess. 1889 01:47:21.680 --> 01:47:25.760 He also he died alone. He was an alcoholic, He 1890 01:47:25.880 --> 01:47:27.800 beat the shit out of his wife and everything. 1891 01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:28.640 So fuck him. 1892 01:47:28.960 --> 01:47:31.079 Yeah, no, I've seen the I've seen the documentary on 1893 01:47:31.159 --> 01:47:33.560 him as well. But all right, all right, So now 1894 01:47:33.640 --> 01:47:36.840 we have had a good little tangent about history and things. Tony, 1895 01:47:36.840 --> 01:47:38.319 you're still I mute. If you want to weigh in 1896 01:47:38.399 --> 01:47:40.000 on any more, please do so, sir. 1897 01:47:42.720 --> 01:47:44.880 Well, I was trying to find out what the flag 1898 01:47:44.880 --> 01:47:48.039 of Hamas actually says, because I don't read any Arabic, 1899 01:47:48.239 --> 01:47:51.520 but one result says it has something called the Shahada, 1900 01:47:51.600 --> 01:47:54.000 which says there is no God but God. Muhammad is 1901 01:47:54.000 --> 01:47:57.520 the messenger of God. I see additional text on it, 1902 01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:00.640 and I don't know how to translate it. I'm just 1903 01:48:00.760 --> 01:48:02.920 curious to see if it says death to America or 1904 01:48:02.920 --> 01:48:05.399 anything like that, but I kind of doubt it. 1905 01:48:05.800 --> 01:48:08.119 No, I doubt'll say that on its flag. But I 1906 01:48:08.119 --> 01:48:10.399 could see that being like a part of their mission statement. 1907 01:48:10.600 --> 01:48:13.600 I could because America being such staunch supporters of the 1908 01:48:13.640 --> 01:48:15.600 Israeli state, which they are again, so I could see 1909 01:48:15.600 --> 01:48:15.920 that too. 1910 01:48:15.960 --> 01:48:19.079 But it's not on Hamas. I believe it's on the 1911 01:48:19.159 --> 01:48:24.119 hes blah. And the reason why is because Instagram. Yeah, 1912 01:48:24.159 --> 01:48:26.880 but it was on that it was showing them and everything. 1913 01:48:27.119 --> 01:48:30.760 And I took a snapchot and I used the AI 1914 01:48:30.920 --> 01:48:34.199 on my phone to scan it and it and translated 1915 01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:37.479 and it does say death issue and death to America. 1916 01:48:37.520 --> 01:48:40.279 And keep in mind Hesbala and Hamas are two completely 1917 01:48:40.279 --> 01:48:41.199 different organizations. 1918 01:48:41.279 --> 01:48:42.319 I understand that. 1919 01:48:43.600 --> 01:48:45.359 Like it's like saying the Bloods and the Crips, they 1920 01:48:45.399 --> 01:48:48.079 might do similar ship, but they're completely different organizations. 1921 01:48:48.079 --> 01:48:50.520 But they were created to be partners in the beginning. 1922 01:48:50.760 --> 01:48:53.680 What set them off was a female. 1923 01:48:53.760 --> 01:48:56.359 Of course, But that's interesting. 1924 01:48:57.720 --> 01:48:59.920 What is still wings of the ship? 1925 01:49:00.039 --> 01:49:02.640 Penny? What's interesting, Tommy. 1926 01:49:02.439 --> 01:49:05.880 Yeah, found I just googled the Hesbala flag words and 1927 01:49:05.920 --> 01:49:09.279 it says the top line says Coronic verse five fifty six, 1928 01:49:09.319 --> 01:49:11.960 which says, surely the party of God are they that 1929 01:49:12.000 --> 01:49:15.920 shall be triumphant? And the bottom line reads the Islamic 1930 01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:22.319 Resistance in Lebanon. So I don't know. Yeah, I wish 1931 01:49:22.319 --> 01:49:24.760 I could read Arabic, but it seems pretty hard. 1932 01:49:24.760 --> 01:49:27.039 From what I could tell. If you're looking at the 1933 01:49:27.359 --> 01:49:30.600 THEMS versus THEMS, as far as the Middle East conflict, 1934 01:49:30.600 --> 01:49:33.840 it's concerned. And I'm quoting Anger Cops here. It's the 1935 01:49:33.880 --> 01:49:37.960 squiggle people versus the geometry people. And I think it 1936 01:49:38.000 --> 01:49:39.800 can all be tied down to that. And by that, 1937 01:49:39.840 --> 01:49:43.479 I mean look at their flags. One group loves squiggle 1938 01:49:43.479 --> 01:49:46.079 lines on their flag and they call that some sort 1939 01:49:46.119 --> 01:49:49.079 of language, and the other side likes straight lines and 1940 01:49:49.159 --> 01:49:52.439 geometric patterns on their flags. It's the squiggles versus the 1941 01:49:52.479 --> 01:49:54.239 geometry people. And if you want to take it even 1942 01:49:54.239 --> 01:49:57.399 further than that, the six pointed star also has precedents 1943 01:49:57.439 --> 01:50:00.479 in the Vedic traditions, and the Hindus and the Muslims 1944 01:50:00.479 --> 01:50:02.640 are not friends with each other. So once again, it's 1945 01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:05.560 the squiggle people versus the geometry people, That's all I 1946 01:50:05.600 --> 01:50:10.039 can figure here. But anyway, anyway, all right, let's let's 1947 01:50:10.079 --> 01:50:14.119 go ahead, Royce, please, resident getrude. 1948 01:50:20.920 --> 01:50:22.960 Actually, what I was gonna say is, as far as 1949 01:50:23.000 --> 01:50:26.960 the calligraphy Arabic is very very beautiful, oh yeah, just 1950 01:50:28.359 --> 01:50:29.239 in and of itself. 1951 01:50:29.800 --> 01:50:32.119 No, I can agree with that for sure. It's it's 1952 01:50:32.239 --> 01:50:33.800 just a joke. Just so we're all clear. 1953 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:37.520 I'm right there with you. 1954 01:50:37.560 --> 01:50:40.920 So anyway, a good things. 1955 01:50:41.319 --> 01:50:44.159 Yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. All right, all right, 1956 01:50:44.199 --> 01:50:47.720 now that we have discussed foreign affairs to a very 1957 01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:51.159 very deep degree, let's get back into the current events 1958 01:50:51.199 --> 01:50:55.560 of the day. This is from Breaking Defense Lockheed, Uh, 1959 01:50:55.600 --> 01:50:59.159 this is from them, Lockheed Martin. Pentagon finalizes the deal 1960 01:50:59.319 --> 01:51:03.319 for two hundred and ninety six f thirty fives. And 1961 01:51:03.319 --> 01:51:06.079 I'm gonna be honest, I don't know why that was 1962 01:51:06.119 --> 01:51:08.079 the number. Why didn't they round it up three hundred? 1963 01:51:09.199 --> 01:51:12.359 I wish I had an answer for anybody. Two ninety 1964 01:51:12.399 --> 01:51:14.840 six is the number they agreed upon. And the number 1965 01:51:14.840 --> 01:51:18.159 they agreed upon was two ninety six, not two ninety five, 1966 01:51:18.640 --> 01:51:21.640 not three hundred. It was that that was a very 1967 01:51:21.680 --> 01:51:24.479 specific part of the deal. Don't know why. And For 1968 01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:26.600 the record, these are not for sale for other countries. 1969 01:51:27.079 --> 01:51:30.239 This is for America. I don't understand, but here it is. 1970 01:51:30.640 --> 01:51:35.840 The twenty four point three billion dollar deal covers one 1971 01:51:35.920 --> 01:51:39.840 hundred and forty eight aircraft each in production lots eighteen 1972 01:51:39.880 --> 01:51:43.479 and nineteen. Closing out negotiations that have stretched since twenty 1973 01:51:43.640 --> 01:51:48.119 twenty three, the Pentagon's Joint Program Office and manufacturer Lockey 1974 01:51:48.199 --> 01:51:51.439 Martin have finalized a deal for roughly twenty four point 1975 01:51:51.479 --> 01:51:55.720 three billion dollars that covers nearly three hundred nearly three hundred, 1976 01:51:55.760 --> 01:51:58.720 but two ninety six again F thirty five stealth fighters 1977 01:51:58.760 --> 01:52:03.159 and two parties. Announced Monday evening. The agreement provides for 1978 01:52:03.359 --> 01:52:06.600 one hundred and forty eight airframes each in production Lats 1979 01:52:06.600 --> 01:52:11.159 eighteen nineteen, according to the Pentagon contract announcement, concluding negotiations 1980 01:52:11.159 --> 01:52:14.680 again that stretched for roughly two years. The deal includes 1981 01:52:14.760 --> 01:52:16.880 jets for the US government as well as foreign buyers, 1982 01:52:16.880 --> 01:52:20.680 and deliveries are expected to begin twenty twenty six. But 1983 01:52:20.800 --> 01:52:23.680 the US government's one that mandated the two ninety six number. 1984 01:52:23.720 --> 01:52:27.039 Again I don't know why. The F thirty five Lot 1985 01:52:27.039 --> 01:52:30.439 eighteen nineteen contract represents continued confidence in the most affordable 1986 01:52:30.439 --> 01:52:35.000 and capable fighter aircraft in production today. Chauncey Macintosh, who 1987 01:52:35.079 --> 01:52:37.600 is the Lackey Vice President and general manager of the 1988 01:52:37.640 --> 01:52:40.319 F thirty five program, said in a press release, we 1989 01:52:40.359 --> 01:52:44.079 are proud to support our customers and further solid solidify 1990 01:52:44.119 --> 01:52:47.640 the F thirty five's role in enabling peace through strength. 1991 01:52:48.199 --> 01:52:50.600 A spokesperson for the F thirty five JPO did not 1992 01:52:50.760 --> 01:52:55.079 immediately have a breakdown available of the cost per aircraft 1993 01:52:55.119 --> 01:52:58.439 of the trivarian Stealth Fighter. Comment from the Marine Corps 1994 01:52:58.439 --> 01:53:04.600 Lieutenant General Greg mss Sale Massalio miss Cilo, miss Cilo whatever, 1995 01:53:04.920 --> 01:53:08.039 who recently took the reins after the JPO, was also 1996 01:53:08.199 --> 01:53:11.520 not available. The finalized F thirty five contract follows an 1997 01:53:11.640 --> 01:53:19.199 unde undefinitized Jesus Contract Action or UCA, awarded to Lockheed 1998 01:53:19.279 --> 01:53:23.079 in December to kickstart production for Lot eighteen. The agreement, 1999 01:53:23.159 --> 01:53:26.439 announced Monday evening, covers just the airframes of the Stealth Fighter, 2000 01:53:26.479 --> 01:53:30.159 whose engines are produced by RTX, which formerly rate theon 2001 01:53:30.720 --> 01:53:34.279 subsidiary Pratt and Whitney. The engines are awarded separately by 2002 01:53:34.319 --> 01:53:37.079 the JPO as government furnished equipment, which are in turn 2003 01:53:37.159 --> 01:53:40.600 provided to Lockheed. The Pentagon awarded Pratt a nearly two 2004 01:53:40.680 --> 01:53:44.399 point nine billion dollar UCA in August to begin production 2005 01:53:44.560 --> 01:53:47.600 on Lot eighteen engines, and after this report was published, 2006 01:53:47.680 --> 01:53:51.439 a JPO spokesperson told Breaking Defense that the Pentagon plans 2007 01:53:51.479 --> 01:53:56.239 to define a tize or definitize okay, Lot eighteen and 2008 01:53:56.359 --> 01:53:59.840 award the Lot nineteen contract for engines in the spring 2009 01:54:00.079 --> 01:54:03.520 twenty twenty six. Once the Lot eighteen engine UCA is 2010 01:54:03.600 --> 01:54:08.439 finalized or definatized, they keep you god a flyaway cost 2011 01:54:08.600 --> 01:54:12.439 for the aircraft and approximate an approximation of price tag 2012 01:54:12.520 --> 01:54:14.960 for a plane that's sitting on a runway ready to go. 2013 01:54:15.319 --> 01:54:18.000 Should become clear, the average flyaway cost for an F 2014 01:54:18.079 --> 01:54:21.800 thirty five A across Lots fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen is 2015 01:54:21.960 --> 01:54:25.720 eighty two point five million. In a press release announced 2016 01:54:25.720 --> 01:54:28.399 on the Lot eighteen and nineteen deal, Lockheed said the 2017 01:54:28.520 --> 01:54:31.119 increase in price per jet in Lot eighteen and nineteen 2018 01:54:31.119 --> 01:54:34.880 from previous years was less than the rate of inflation. Okay, 2019 01:54:34.920 --> 01:54:37.079 I guess that's something to be said, So it should 2020 01:54:37.079 --> 01:54:41.840 be somewhere around. I'm hoping eighty five mil per plane, 2021 01:54:41.960 --> 01:54:46.479 give or take, but I guess we shall see. But anyway, 2022 01:54:47.000 --> 01:54:50.239 just wanted to bring that up. Apparently the military industrial 2023 01:54:50.319 --> 01:54:55.119 complex is booming and thriving, So anybody around the world 2024 01:54:55.199 --> 01:54:57.000 be on the lookout for new F thirty fives to 2025 01:54:57.079 --> 01:54:59.680 be bought by your nation's military. I know Poland is 2026 01:54:59.720 --> 01:55:02.560 a decided to get their hands on some. All right, 2027 01:55:02.680 --> 01:55:06.239 moving more towards American things going on, We're not gonna 2028 01:55:06.239 --> 01:55:07.960 spend a lot of time on this. I don't know 2029 01:55:08.039 --> 01:55:11.920 how many people actually watch the WNBA. I'm gonna be honest. 2030 01:55:12.079 --> 01:55:15.760 I have tried really hard to make it through a 2031 01:55:15.840 --> 01:55:18.119 game and I just can't. Right, hold on, Sam, I 2032 01:55:18.239 --> 01:55:19.800 know you have your hand raise for everything I say, 2033 01:55:19.880 --> 01:55:23.359 Just hold on, brother. I don't know who's actually watching 2034 01:55:23.399 --> 01:55:29.520 the WNBA like this, but apparently the chief, Kathyl Engelbert, 2035 01:55:30.640 --> 01:55:35.319 she made a comment about Caitlin Clark and how she 2036 01:55:35.479 --> 01:55:37.760 should be grateful for the money that she is making 2037 01:55:37.800 --> 01:55:41.239 with the WNBA. The WNBA players are saying that they're 2038 01:55:41.319 --> 01:55:44.039 not making enough. That's a that's a theme that we 2039 01:55:44.159 --> 01:55:47.159 have heard for years and years and years. Unfortunately, they're 2040 01:55:47.199 --> 01:55:50.239 only gonna get paid based off of how entertaining their 2041 01:55:50.319 --> 01:55:53.920 sport is to watch, because advertisers are not going to 2042 01:55:53.960 --> 01:55:58.399 pay more money. You're not gonna get sponsorships deals if 2043 01:55:58.479 --> 01:56:01.159 your sport is boring as hell. What I mean by 2044 01:56:01.199 --> 01:56:05.600 that is the US curling team only makes its way 2045 01:56:06.359 --> 01:56:10.520 or even is known about, during the Olympics. They train 2046 01:56:11.119 --> 01:56:14.039 every year, I'm sure of it. Why don't they have 2047 01:56:14.159 --> 01:56:18.680 crazy sponsorship deals because no one's watching curling except for 2048 01:56:18.720 --> 01:56:21.159 when it happens to be on when the Winter Olympics 2049 01:56:21.159 --> 01:56:23.680 are running. That's just the way this goes. So for 2050 01:56:23.760 --> 01:56:26.600 the WNBA players to be bitching that they're not making 2051 01:56:26.640 --> 01:56:30.560 as much money as their male counterparts, there's reasons for that, 2052 01:56:30.640 --> 01:56:33.760 and it's not because society is so sexist. Is because 2053 01:56:33.880 --> 01:56:36.319 one is entertaining to watch and one is seen as 2054 01:56:36.399 --> 01:56:39.239 more of a novelty for a lot of people. That 2055 01:56:39.439 --> 01:56:43.920 being said, the chief of the WNBA had made some 2056 01:56:44.079 --> 01:56:46.399 comments that she then had to go back on later on. 2057 01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:49.000 Got a quick clip that's attached to the article, and 2058 01:56:49.119 --> 01:56:50.800 it will do a decent job of breaking this down 2059 01:56:50.840 --> 01:56:57.319 because apparentlyn Fisa Collier has made some claims that the 2060 01:56:57.600 --> 01:57:01.039 chief had to make a claim about. In response, let's 2061 01:57:01.039 --> 01:57:01.359 listen in. 2062 01:57:01.560 --> 01:57:05.239 In a scathing exit interview mifi's the Collier claimed that 2063 01:57:05.520 --> 01:57:08.640 WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engilbert told her. 2064 01:57:09.560 --> 01:57:11.399 I also asked how she plan to fix the fact 2065 01:57:11.439 --> 01:57:14.119 that players like Caitlin Angel and Page, who are clearly 2066 01:57:14.199 --> 01:57:17.199 driving massive revenue for the league, are making so little 2067 01:57:17.239 --> 01:57:20.880 for their first four years. Her response was, Caitlyn should 2068 01:57:20.880 --> 01:57:23.119 be grateful she makes sixty million off the court, because 2069 01:57:23.159 --> 01:57:25.560 without the platform that the WBA gives her, she wouldn't 2070 01:57:25.560 --> 01:57:26.039 make anything. 2071 01:57:26.319 --> 01:57:28.880 Collier added, Engilbert even said. 2072 01:57:29.159 --> 01:57:32.079 And in that same conversation, she told me players should 2073 01:57:32.079 --> 01:57:34.439 be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the 2074 01:57:34.520 --> 01:57:35.760 media rite seal that I got them. 2075 01:57:36.560 --> 01:57:40.079 The remarks set off backlash, as fans pointed out Caitlin 2076 01:57:40.159 --> 01:57:44.159 Clark already had endorsements before joining the league. The interview 2077 01:57:44.279 --> 01:57:48.319 spread quickly. NBA Today's Malika Andrews said it was worth 2078 01:57:48.399 --> 01:57:52.920 listening to every word, while Pacers starred Therese Halliburton reacted 2079 01:57:53.000 --> 01:57:57.880 with just one word, Hugh. The WNBA later responded, calling 2080 01:57:58.039 --> 01:58:00.279 Collier's characterization disheart. 2081 01:58:03.399 --> 01:58:09.279 Okay, disheartening, that's fair enough, all right, but uh anyway, 2082 01:58:09.399 --> 01:58:13.479 so yeah, that is a statement that was made and Ingelbert, 2083 01:58:14.359 --> 01:58:16.800 I remember I saw a clip of her speaking to 2084 01:58:17.600 --> 01:58:20.479 some sort of a talking head about situations and things. 2085 01:58:20.840 --> 01:58:23.520 She basically made the claim that Caitlyn Clark is making 2086 01:58:23.800 --> 01:58:27.239 around five hundred K a year, which I don't know 2087 01:58:27.399 --> 01:58:31.359 how she thinks that she knows what is going on 2088 01:58:31.520 --> 01:58:34.520 unless she's pocket watching, which. 2089 01:58:34.399 --> 01:58:34.760 She may be. 2090 01:58:35.399 --> 01:58:38.319 She may very well be. But if you're the chief 2091 01:58:38.399 --> 01:58:41.399 of an entire league, perhaps you shouldn't be worried about 2092 01:58:41.439 --> 01:58:44.760 what your players are making off the court. Keep in mind, 2093 01:58:44.840 --> 01:58:46.880 Kaitlyn Clark had a lot of endorsement deals before she 2094 01:58:46.960 --> 01:58:51.520 left college. So yeah, anyway, for anybody who cares, the 2095 01:58:51.720 --> 01:58:54.720 WNBA is in some sort of a turmoil right now 2096 01:58:55.239 --> 01:58:57.000 because of some of the things that have been going 2097 01:58:57.079 --> 01:59:00.159 on with money. And again, if the sport was more 2098 01:59:00.239 --> 01:59:02.880 entertained to watch, the players will be making insane amounts anyway, 2099 01:59:02.880 --> 01:59:05.239 and it wouldn't even be worth talking about. But anyway, 2100 01:59:05.319 --> 01:59:07.960 go ahead, Sam, Yeah. 2101 01:59:07.880 --> 01:59:09.199 I was just gonna make a joke. 2102 01:59:09.600 --> 01:59:12.800 But isn't this also where they played basketball and the 2103 01:59:12.920 --> 01:59:14.239 dildo range? It is? 2104 01:59:14.319 --> 01:59:18.920 Indeed, it is, indeed, sir, Which that's so. 2105 01:59:20.039 --> 01:59:22.199 I think it'd be a lot funnier if they're playing 2106 01:59:22.239 --> 01:59:26.079 basketball but also like that and dodgeball at the same time, 2107 01:59:26.399 --> 01:59:28.760 but instead of it being dodgeballs, like you can have 2108 01:59:28.920 --> 01:59:31.600 the basketball, right, but you have two defenders and instead 2109 01:59:31.600 --> 01:59:34.680 of them trying to like tackle whatever they do to 2110 01:59:34.920 --> 01:59:38.319 like block, they can hit them with the dodgeball. But 2111 01:59:38.560 --> 01:59:40.399 instead of being a dodgeball, it can be a big 2112 01:59:40.520 --> 01:59:43.800 purple going the dark deal though, And that would make this, 2113 01:59:44.000 --> 01:59:45.760 that would make the game a whole lot more interesting, 2114 01:59:45.840 --> 01:59:48.399 And that would be like, hey, this is different from 2115 01:59:48.439 --> 01:59:51.560 the men's side, and it would make it more interesting 2116 01:59:51.640 --> 01:59:53.680 to see, Hey, what I wonder which one is gonna 2117 01:59:53.720 --> 01:59:57.399 get hit hit and if and hey two points if 2118 01:59:57.439 --> 02:00:00.279 it's a head shot, three points, if it it hits 2119 02:00:00.359 --> 02:00:01.560 him in the titty. It'd be fun. 2120 02:00:01.560 --> 02:00:05.720 Okay, But aside from trying to overly sexualize the sport 2121 02:00:05.880 --> 02:00:10.199 or female athletes, right, same with softball. Why don't they 2122 02:00:10.279 --> 02:00:14.000 have a professional softball league? Because there's hardly, ever, ever, 2123 02:00:14.279 --> 02:00:18.000 ever a home run hit in softball? Why don't people 2124 02:00:18.039 --> 02:00:20.800 want to watch the WNBA because nobody wants to watch 2125 02:00:20.840 --> 02:00:24.399 a game of nothing but layups. I'm sorry, that's just 2126 02:00:24.600 --> 02:00:27.119 it's not worth it's not entertaining to watch that. 2127 02:00:28.000 --> 02:00:28.920 Are they not dunk? 2128 02:00:31.439 --> 02:00:34.760 There was? I think Lisa Leslie kind of was somebody 2129 02:00:34.760 --> 02:00:37.520 who could dunk in the WNBA but that's a rarity 2130 02:00:37.640 --> 02:00:39.119 for a woman to be able to jump that high. 2131 02:00:39.800 --> 02:00:42.920 Isn't she the one that got caught smuggling a dad 2132 02:00:43.000 --> 02:00:43.560 pin into. 2133 02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:47.279 No, no, no, no, Lisa Leslie was big in the nineties, dude, No, no, no, 2134 02:00:47.359 --> 02:00:49.000 you're thinking of old Britney Griner. 2135 02:00:50.479 --> 02:00:53.039 Yeah, but we left in the United States minion to 2136 02:00:53.079 --> 02:00:53.439 get home. 2137 02:00:54.279 --> 02:00:54.479 Yeah. 2138 02:00:54.520 --> 02:00:56.640 I know that's a whole mess in and of itself. 2139 02:00:56.720 --> 02:00:59.319 But anyway, like I said, didn't want to spend too 2140 02:00:59.399 --> 02:01:02.520 much time on THENBA debacle, but I thought it was 2141 02:01:02.560 --> 02:01:05.279 worth mentioning because it is something that is considered news 2142 02:01:05.399 --> 02:01:09.520 to some people. So there we have it. Moving on here, Komy, 2143 02:01:10.119 --> 02:01:11.039 we talked about him. 2144 02:01:11.159 --> 02:01:11.479 He is. 2145 02:01:12.079 --> 02:01:14.319 They were trying to figure out they could get him indicted, 2146 02:01:14.439 --> 02:01:16.319 or if the statute of limitations was about to run 2147 02:01:16.359 --> 02:01:20.359 out or what well statute limitations. They got it in time, 2148 02:01:20.479 --> 02:01:23.479 and now he has pled not guilty as lawyer's signal 2149 02:01:23.560 --> 02:01:28.800 intent to argue Trump's faue case is politically motivated. This 2150 02:01:28.920 --> 02:01:31.720 is a quick clip from a local news Let's listen in. 2151 02:01:31.920 --> 02:01:34.840 Former FBI director James Comy appeared in federal court today 2152 02:01:34.920 --> 02:01:38.359 to fight criminal charges brought by the Trump administration. Comy 2153 02:01:38.439 --> 02:01:40.840 has charged with one count of obstruction of a congressional 2154 02:01:40.880 --> 02:01:43.920 proceeding and one count of making false statements related to 2155 02:01:44.079 --> 02:01:47.680 five year old Senate testimony during which he denied authorizing 2156 02:01:47.800 --> 02:01:50.720 leaks to the media. Komy, who has ousted during the 2157 02:01:50.760 --> 02:01:54.520 first Trump administration, has often clashed with the President, prompting 2158 02:01:54.560 --> 02:01:58.159 critics to call it political retribution. Comy's attorney says he 2159 02:01:58.239 --> 02:02:02.600 will file three motions in voting vindictive and unlawful prosecution. 2160 02:02:04.199 --> 02:02:07.560 Essentially, he's going to argue, among other things, in his 2161 02:02:07.720 --> 02:02:11.640 first motions that this is a vindictive prosecution, and unlike 2162 02:02:11.720 --> 02:02:14.239 most other cases, he has. 2163 02:02:15.600 --> 02:02:17.479 Quite a load of evidence to bring. 2164 02:02:17.399 --> 02:02:17.840 To the court. 2165 02:02:18.920 --> 02:02:22.479 Leading the case against Komy, President Trump's former personal attorney 2166 02:02:22.720 --> 02:02:26.159 Lindsay Halligan, who was appointed as the interim US Attorney 2167 02:02:26.239 --> 02:02:29.399 for the Eastern District of Virginia after her predecessor was 2168 02:02:29.479 --> 02:02:31.159 forced out by the White House. 2169 02:02:32.079 --> 02:02:35.439 All right, now, we will see what comes out of 2170 02:02:35.479 --> 02:02:42.079 this whole James Comy indictment situation. I if he is guilty, 2171 02:02:42.199 --> 02:02:44.920 I hope that they find the truth out. But again 2172 02:02:45.560 --> 02:02:48.680 we'll get to all of that in due time. Continuing 2173 02:02:48.760 --> 02:02:53.199 on with legal issues, let's jump over here, Jack smith 2174 02:02:53.399 --> 02:02:58.479 investigation into January six obtained phone records of GOP lawmaker's. 2175 02:02:58.760 --> 02:03:03.039 Republicans say this is CNM. Senate Republicans announced on Monday 2176 02:03:03.119 --> 02:03:06.600 that the Monday, the FBI, as part of a Special 2177 02:03:06.720 --> 02:03:11.159 Council Jack Smith's January sixth investigations, used court orders in 2178 02:03:11.239 --> 02:03:13.920 twenty twenty three to obtain the phone records of nine 2179 02:03:14.039 --> 02:03:19.560 GOP lawmakers and move senators. Called political and weaponization, it's 2180 02:03:19.680 --> 02:03:23.159 unclear what exactly investigators are seeking to determine by pulling 2181 02:03:23.199 --> 02:03:25.640 the records, and there's no indication that these senators were 2182 02:03:25.680 --> 02:03:29.319 targets of Smith's investigation, so they're not targets, but it's 2183 02:03:29.359 --> 02:03:32.119 worth mentioning, I guess as they're trying to throw Republicans 2184 02:03:32.199 --> 02:03:34.520 under the bus as much as they can. But here 2185 02:03:34.600 --> 02:03:39.319 we go. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley released the FBI 2186 02:03:39.479 --> 02:03:42.479 record at a news conference Monday, where Republicans emphasize that 2187 02:03:42.520 --> 02:03:45.239 the phone records were obtained through a grand jury, a 2188 02:03:45.319 --> 02:03:49.239 lawful process for federal investigators to obtain such documents. The 2189 02:03:49.319 --> 02:03:52.279 phone records of some lawmakers were seized in the probe 2190 02:03:52.560 --> 02:03:55.359 has long been known since the Justice Department fought a 2191 02:03:55.479 --> 02:03:58.960 legal battle over the limits of constitutions speech or debate 2192 02:03:59.079 --> 02:04:02.439 clause in order to add access lawmakers communications. This is 2193 02:04:02.479 --> 02:04:05.439 a direct quote here from Grassley. There's no predicate that 2194 02:04:05.479 --> 02:04:08.800 we can find for the solicitation of these telephone records, 2195 02:04:09.039 --> 02:04:12.720 which I think emphasizes the political weaponization that was behind 2196 02:04:12.920 --> 02:04:16.520 all this effort. And we're still getting more information. The 2197 02:04:16.640 --> 02:04:21.199 lawmakers said that FBI Director Cash Bettel turned over information 2198 02:04:21.439 --> 02:04:26.039 on the subpoenas which sought the toll records, which show 2199 02:04:26.079 --> 02:04:29.000 the phone numbers called in time and duration of calls, 2200 02:04:29.039 --> 02:04:31.920 but not content. Pattel, in a post on X say, 2201 02:04:31.960 --> 02:04:34.680 we recently uncovered proof that the phone records of US 2202 02:04:34.800 --> 02:04:40.760 lawmakers receives for political purposes. That abuse of power ends. Now, Yeah, 2203 02:04:41.000 --> 02:04:43.760 he's really trying anything to seem like he's some sort 2204 02:04:43.800 --> 02:04:47.000 of a guy in charge. It's silly. The lawmakers were 2205 02:04:47.479 --> 02:04:53.840 Senator Lindsey Graham, Bill Haggerty, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tubberville, 2206 02:04:54.279 --> 02:04:59.039 Ron Johnson, Cynthia Loomis, and Marsha Blackburn, as well as 2207 02:04:59.199 --> 02:05:03.319 Representative Mike Kelly. Now that's the end of the CNN article. 2208 02:05:04.079 --> 02:05:08.000 There's another article here from Wyoming Public Media and it 2209 02:05:08.079 --> 02:05:10.279 basically gives a breakdown the exact same thing. But I 2210 02:05:10.399 --> 02:05:12.279 did want to give this list just for those that 2211 02:05:12.359 --> 02:05:17.159 don't know who these people are. Loomis, who we talked 2212 02:05:17.199 --> 02:05:21.279 about a moment ago, and she is She is a 2213 02:05:21.439 --> 02:05:26.319 Senator from Wyoming. But continuing here, Lindsey Graham, who's a 2214 02:05:26.439 --> 02:05:30.600 Republican from South Carolina. He's a senator. Representative Mike Kelly, 2215 02:05:30.800 --> 02:05:34.800 Republican from Pennsylvania. Senator Bill Haggerty who is a Republican 2216 02:05:34.840 --> 02:05:38.560 from Tennessee, Senator Josh Howley who is a Republican from Missouri, 2217 02:05:39.359 --> 02:05:43.880 Senator Dan Sullivan, a Republican from Arkansas, Senator Tommy Tupperville 2218 02:05:43.880 --> 02:05:47.680 who's a Republican from Alabama, and Senator Ron Johnson who 2219 02:05:47.760 --> 02:05:52.159 is a Republican from Wisconsin. And Senator Marsha Blackburn, a 2220 02:05:52.279 --> 02:05:56.119 Republican from ten A se So anyway, I didn't want 2221 02:05:56.119 --> 02:05:59.199 to give that distinction and give these people at least 2222 02:05:59.239 --> 02:06:01.520 their proper des a nation of what state they represent. 2223 02:06:02.000 --> 02:06:07.199 But nine Republican lawmakers have been apparently had their phone 2224 02:06:07.279 --> 02:06:13.079 records shown in this investigation, which we'll see what comes 2225 02:06:13.119 --> 02:06:18.600 of that. Honestly, the whole, the whole thing about the 2226 02:06:18.720 --> 02:06:22.920 January sixth, quote unquote riot, the January sixth insurrection, or 2227 02:06:22.960 --> 02:06:25.560 whatever you want to say that the liberal media is 2228 02:06:25.560 --> 02:06:28.880 saying that that was the peaceful protest where they stormed 2229 02:06:28.920 --> 02:06:31.760 the capitol. In reality, they were let in, again confirmed 2230 02:06:31.760 --> 02:06:37.920 by multiple sources that are not Republican or Democrat, just eyewitnesses. Yeah, 2231 02:06:38.279 --> 02:06:40.640 that was That was a whole lot of people trying 2232 02:06:40.640 --> 02:06:42.760 to turn this into something to make it look like 2233 02:06:43.800 --> 02:06:46.920 the riots that were happening all over the country. Right, 2234 02:06:47.039 --> 02:06:49.159 this is this is all a part of See the 2235 02:06:49.199 --> 02:06:52.399 Republicans riot it too. It's not just Democrat it's but 2236 02:06:52.600 --> 02:06:56.000 let's look at the the actual weight behind them, right, 2237 02:06:56.119 --> 02:06:59.640 Let's look at the the fallout of the Portland riots 2238 02:06:59.680 --> 02:07:02.520 and the shit Cargo riots and all these other places LA, 2239 02:07:03.239 --> 02:07:06.800 and then let's look at jan six One of these 2240 02:07:07.159 --> 02:07:10.800 had or a bunch of these had cop cars being torched, 2241 02:07:11.279 --> 02:07:16.079 buildings being looted and broken into, violencing occurred, And the 2242 02:07:16.199 --> 02:07:22.079 other one had no barely barely any damage done to 2243 02:07:22.319 --> 02:07:26.800 any private or public property. And one person was killed, 2244 02:07:26.920 --> 02:07:30.119 and that was a horrible tragedy, and it wasn't in 2245 02:07:30.199 --> 02:07:32.479 the same way that the violence was done on these 2246 02:07:32.520 --> 02:07:34.760 other sides. So I feel like trying to call the 2247 02:07:34.880 --> 02:07:39.880 Jan six a riot slash insurrection. Uh is that's just 2248 02:07:39.960 --> 02:07:42.159 liberal media trying to turn a mole in a mole 2249 02:07:42.239 --> 02:07:46.640 hill into a mountain. But anyway, moving on, let's talk 2250 02:07:46.760 --> 02:07:50.560 more about the government and Washington DC. I don't know 2251 02:07:50.600 --> 02:07:52.600 how many people are paying attention, but the government is 2252 02:07:52.680 --> 02:07:56.359 currently a shutdown, and I honestly think at this point 2253 02:07:56.439 --> 02:07:59.880 we could start making that a federal holiday, the annual 2254 02:08:00.159 --> 02:08:02.960 government shut down. Here we go and they only have 2255 02:08:03.039 --> 02:08:04.880 one month to get it together, and maybe they will, 2256 02:08:05.000 --> 02:08:07.600 maybe they won't. There's a couple of different things behind 2257 02:08:07.920 --> 02:08:11.560 what has caused this one, and you know what, let's 2258 02:08:11.600 --> 02:08:14.039 just play this year. Marjorie Taylor Green gives her two 2259 02:08:14.079 --> 02:08:16.840 cents about what is going on with the government shut down. 2260 02:08:17.079 --> 02:08:18.800 We shall see. This is from NBC News. 2261 02:08:19.520 --> 02:08:23.560 My own family suffers from this situation, my friends, and 2262 02:08:23.680 --> 02:08:24.239 my neighbors. 2263 02:08:24.439 --> 02:08:28.319 For Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, the conflict behind the 2264 02:08:28.359 --> 02:08:32.760 government shutdown is personal. Typically a MAGA loyalist, she's broken 2265 02:08:32.840 --> 02:08:36.439 with the GOP over concerns that her children's healthcare premiums 2266 02:08:36.479 --> 02:08:37.560 will double next year. 2267 02:08:37.840 --> 02:08:40.560 Two out of the three have aged out of being 2268 02:08:40.640 --> 02:08:44.960 on my insurance, and so you're seeing me being a 2269 02:08:45.159 --> 02:08:48.079 mom who's frankly really pissed off at a lot of 2270 02:08:48.119 --> 02:08:52.560 the failures that I think come from decades of both parties. 2271 02:08:52.640 --> 02:08:55.720 She's getting at the core point. Democrats have been making 2272 02:08:56.119 --> 02:08:59.199 ACA marketplace subsidies expire at the end of the year. 2273 02:09:00.039 --> 02:09:03.640 Krats want to negotiate extensions before they'll vote to reopen 2274 02:09:03.680 --> 02:09:06.399 the government. As many as twenty two million Americans could 2275 02:09:06.439 --> 02:09:09.680 see their premiums spike by an average one hundred and 2276 02:09:09.720 --> 02:09:13.279 fourteen percent without an extension of the subsidies put in 2277 02:09:13.359 --> 02:09:16.079 place during the Biden administration. If they expire at the 2278 02:09:16.159 --> 02:09:19.039 end of the year, what happens to your health insurance premiums? 2279 02:09:19.800 --> 02:09:20.560 They will double. 2280 02:09:20.720 --> 02:09:24.079 It looks like Leanne Safford and her husband now pay 2281 02:09:24.199 --> 02:09:26.960 two hundred seventy eight dollars a month for their healthcare 2282 02:09:27.039 --> 02:09:31.000 premiums through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Their plight common. 2283 02:09:31.279 --> 02:09:34.520 According to one analysis, for an individual making thirty five 2284 02:09:34.600 --> 02:09:37.800 thousand dollars a year, the annual premium would jump by 2285 02:09:37.840 --> 02:09:41.079 more than fifteen hundred dollars. A family of four making 2286 02:09:41.199 --> 02:09:44.159 seventy five thousand, their increase would be more than thirty 2287 02:09:44.239 --> 02:09:46.239 three hundred. What kind of ripple effect is that going 2288 02:09:46.279 --> 02:09:46.960 to have in your life? 2289 02:09:47.159 --> 02:09:48.800 We would need to budget for those changes. 2290 02:09:48.920 --> 02:09:50.039 We would need to scale back. 2291 02:09:50.359 --> 02:09:53.479 Our child is thirteen, so you know, we may need 2292 02:09:53.600 --> 02:09:55.279 to reassess when braces might. 2293 02:09:55.199 --> 02:09:58.199 Be happening for LeAnn and millions of others. Sticker shock 2294 02:09:58.359 --> 02:10:01.239 is now setting in as note come out this month 2295 02:10:01.560 --> 02:10:06.039 outlining what next year's premiums will be. Christine Romans, NBC News, 2296 02:10:06.279 --> 02:10:06.720 New York. 2297 02:10:07.680 --> 02:10:12.079 All right, so let's continue talking about this this shutdown 2298 02:10:12.439 --> 02:10:14.720 that's going on here, because not only is this a 2299 02:10:14.800 --> 02:10:19.359 portion of it, but congress erupts over Trump's shutdown back 2300 02:10:19.479 --> 02:10:24.800 pay threat. Yes, this is correct. He is basically saying 2301 02:10:24.840 --> 02:10:27.039 that he the article is not pulling up. It pulled 2302 02:10:27.119 --> 02:10:28.439 up on my phone, but of course it is not 2303 02:10:28.560 --> 02:10:31.720 going to pull up on my computer because that would 2304 02:10:31.720 --> 02:10:34.239 be crazy. Essentially, Trump is saying that he is not 2305 02:10:34.399 --> 02:10:38.479 going to back pay the quote unquote furloughed politicians who 2306 02:10:38.560 --> 02:10:41.000 are not showing up to work to solve the problem, 2307 02:10:41.880 --> 02:10:45.319 which people have opinions on. Some people say that's a 2308 02:10:45.359 --> 02:10:48.760 great thing, some people say this is tyrannical. I got 2309 02:10:48.800 --> 02:10:51.239 a quick little video that's going to talk about it more. 2310 02:10:51.720 --> 02:10:56.159 Trump administration threatens no back pay for federal workers in shutdown. 2311 02:10:56.239 --> 02:10:58.720 This is from ABC, but hand is the Government Fair 2312 02:10:58.800 --> 02:11:01.319 Treatment Diact of twenty nineineteen. It was signed into law 2313 02:11:01.359 --> 02:11:03.960 after a thirty five day long shutdown during President Donald 2314 02:11:03.960 --> 02:11:07.520 Trump's first term. The law guarantees federal workers will get 2315 02:11:07.600 --> 02:11:10.159 back pay after a shutdown, but in a draft memo 2316 02:11:10.319 --> 02:11:13.880 reported on by Axios, the White House suggests a different interpretation, 2317 02:11:14.319 --> 02:11:17.840 stating furloughed workers will receive back pay quote subject to 2318 02:11:17.920 --> 02:11:20.880 the enactment of appropriations Acts ending the lapse. 2319 02:11:21.159 --> 02:11:23.640 They do have a sort of novel interpretation of it, 2320 02:11:24.079 --> 02:11:26.640 but there's plenty of stuff in the record, you know, 2321 02:11:26.840 --> 02:11:30.159 from way back from twenty nineteen when the law was passed, 2322 02:11:30.239 --> 02:11:33.399 that that indicates this was intended to be sort of 2323 02:11:33.479 --> 02:11:35.479 a permanent fixture of things. 2324 02:11:35.640 --> 02:11:38.880 Tim Cox, a furloughed employee, believes this is just rhetoric 2325 02:11:39.039 --> 02:11:40.680 and he'll ultimately get paid. 2326 02:11:40.880 --> 02:11:43.039 It's not something I'm worried about, but I know that 2327 02:11:43.239 --> 02:11:46.840 there's a lot of a sentiment behind people aren't who 2328 02:11:46.920 --> 02:11:51.119 aren't working getting paid. At the same time, this kind 2329 02:11:51.119 --> 02:11:52.600 of stuff is way beyond our control. 2330 02:11:52.760 --> 02:11:56.359 Omar al jazeeras vice president of AFGE Local twenty three 2331 02:11:56.439 --> 02:11:59.079 ninety one and a furloughed employee with a Department of 2332 02:11:59.159 --> 02:12:02.239 Labor sees it has another attack on federal workers. 2333 02:12:02.520 --> 02:12:04.960 This is part of a larger pattern of bullying and 2334 02:12:05.039 --> 02:12:08.880 harassment against the federal workforce workers who serve their country, 2335 02:12:08.920 --> 02:12:13.319 where professionalism are being treated as political enemies yet again 2336 02:12:14.359 --> 02:12:17.119 and the constant attacks threat to withhold pay. 2337 02:12:17.439 --> 02:12:20.479 On Wednesday, the IRS issued new guidance citing the twenty 2338 02:12:20.600 --> 02:12:23.880 nineteen law that directly contradicts the White House draft memo. 2339 02:12:24.159 --> 02:12:27.800 It said very clearly that furloughed employees will be paid 2340 02:12:28.960 --> 02:12:33.000 when the shutdown ends, so given back pay. So it's 2341 02:12:33.199 --> 02:12:38.239 diametrically opposed. And what it says to me is and 2342 02:12:39.439 --> 02:12:42.319 this is a broader issue. I think there's been a 2343 02:12:42.359 --> 02:12:46.239 little bit of tension within the Trump administration over this. 2344 02:12:46.640 --> 02:12:49.520 According to the Congressional Research Service, there are just over 2345 02:12:49.640 --> 02:12:53.199 thirty four thousand federal employees in Arizona. Been Brown, ABC 2346 02:12:53.319 --> 02:12:54.399 fifteen Arizona. 2347 02:12:55.319 --> 02:12:58.239 All right, so that's from an Arizona news source. But 2348 02:12:59.279 --> 02:13:02.680 so some people are saying that, okay, this might be 2349 02:13:02.840 --> 02:13:06.880 what is needed, right to keep these politicians from deciding 2350 02:13:06.880 --> 02:13:08.800 they're not gonna show up to work anymore and preventing 2351 02:13:08.840 --> 02:13:11.399 a government shut down from happening. They don't need to 2352 02:13:11.399 --> 02:13:15.319 see a government shut down as a possibility. If they 2353 02:13:15.439 --> 02:13:18.239 know that they won't get paid and no government employees 2354 02:13:18.239 --> 02:13:21.039 will get paid, perhaps they'll just do their job and 2355 02:13:21.479 --> 02:13:24.359 figure it out. I'm not saying that I believe this. 2356 02:13:24.800 --> 02:13:26.880 I am saying that there is a side that is 2357 02:13:26.920 --> 02:13:28.640 saying that this is what Trump is trying to do. 2358 02:13:29.279 --> 02:13:31.279 There's another side that is saying that this is him 2359 02:13:31.760 --> 02:13:36.720 continuing to overreach and all these other things. I don't know, Sam, 2360 02:13:36.840 --> 02:13:37.560 what is your thoughts. 2361 02:13:39.640 --> 02:13:43.199 I believe that the government shut down as a joke 2362 02:13:44.439 --> 02:13:48.359 in the sorry own having a bit of trouble with 2363 02:13:48.560 --> 02:13:49.760 my assidy flux. 2364 02:13:50.399 --> 02:13:51.960 I think it's a bit of a joke because it's 2365 02:13:52.039 --> 02:13:53.319 just go up posturing. 2366 02:13:53.920 --> 02:13:56.279 And the fact of the matter is, I've looked into 2367 02:13:56.359 --> 02:14:00.640 what positive the Democrats want to continue saying three million 2368 02:14:00.680 --> 02:14:03.920 dollars to uh. I want to say it's Zimbabwe for 2369 02:14:04.840 --> 02:14:07.119 vasectomy and a circumcision. 2370 02:14:08.720 --> 02:14:10.640 That's a part of it. But I don't. 2371 02:14:11.680 --> 02:14:14.239 Did you hear about Ted Cruz what he said over 2372 02:14:14.319 --> 02:14:20.079 the last week. I have, Yeah, he was like, we 2373 02:14:20.159 --> 02:14:22.760 need to stop attacking people, but he was given like 2374 02:14:23.319 --> 02:14:26.399 things that, yeah, that would make sense. Then he said, 2375 02:14:26.520 --> 02:14:28.039 and I think we can all agree we need to 2376 02:14:28.119 --> 02:14:33.479 stop attacking pedophiles. And I'm like, no, that honestly, that's 2377 02:14:33.479 --> 02:14:39.800 what we should attack more of, really, Ted Cruz, And yeah, 2378 02:14:39.920 --> 02:14:43.119 look what I saw for him was JD. 2379 02:14:43.279 --> 02:14:44.560 Delay. I watched a lot of JD. 2380 02:14:44.680 --> 02:14:45.000 Delay. 2381 02:14:45.319 --> 02:14:45.720 I love. 2382 02:14:47.680 --> 02:14:50.039 You. I'm actually gonna try and see if I can 2383 02:14:50.079 --> 02:14:52.119 get him on on the Web of Mysteries. 2384 02:14:53.439 --> 02:14:57.159 Good luck. He is a very in demand, uh social figure, 2385 02:14:57.600 --> 02:14:59.039 So I mean, I hope you can get him. 2386 02:14:59.840 --> 02:15:03.000 I because I would like to learn. I'd like to 2387 02:15:03.079 --> 02:15:04.600 have him on. He's a really cool guy. 2388 02:15:05.760 --> 02:15:10.600 But yeah, I know, Ted Cruz Junior said stop tacking pedophiles. 2389 02:15:11.560 --> 02:15:15.640 Oh wow, he legitimately said this. Okay, let's. 2390 02:15:18.399 --> 02:15:20.119 He also said he wanted to get in touch with 2391 02:15:20.239 --> 02:15:23.600 the younger kids, so he got Backstreet Boys tattooed on 2392 02:15:23.800 --> 02:15:27.479 his back.

They might, 2396 02:15:36.960 --> 02:15:40.000 but that that and you're saying you want to get 2397 02:15:40.039 --> 02:15:42.960 in touch with the younger kids, and you just said 2398 02:15:43.000 --> 02:15:44.279 stop attacking pedophiles. 2399 02:15:44.560 --> 02:15:47.960 My boy, that's some bad pr. 2400 02:15:48.079 --> 02:15:50.000 All right, let's let's play the clip.

So 2405 02:16:00.039 --> 02:16:02.960 I hope that we get the greater context on this one. 2406 02:16:03.479 --> 02:16:07.920 Viral gaff ted cru says stop attacking pedophiles while discussing 2407 02:16:08.079 --> 02:16:10.039 fighting crime. Let's listen in now. 2408 02:16:10.880 --> 02:16:13.840 Senator Booker also said we should have bipartisan agreement. I 2409 02:16:13.880 --> 02:16:16.560 think that's a great idea. We should have bipartisan agreement. 2410 02:16:16.800 --> 02:16:19.600 How about we all come together and say let's stop murders. 2411 02:16:20.319 --> 02:16:22.960 How about we all come together and say let's stop rape. 2412 02:16:23.560 --> 02:16:25.800 How about we all come together and say let's stop 2413 02:16:25.960 --> 02:16:29.079 attacking pedophiles.

If Congress passes my 2421 02:16:55.600 --> 02:16:56.440 Clean DC Act. 2422 02:16:57.280 --> 02:16:59.479 Thank you, Senator Cruisin, thank you for introducing the Clean 2423 02:16:59.559 --> 02:17:03.280 DC Act, which repeals the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Acted. 2424 02:17:03.399 --> 02:17:07.079 Is unquestionably one of the worst pieces of legislation public 2425 02:17:07.079 --> 02:17:10.479 safety legislation I've ever seen, and it has completely dismantled 2426 02:17:10.520 --> 02:17:12.479 and destroyed the Metropolitan Police Department. 2427 02:17:13.280 --> 02:17:16.399 Okay, one more time, we're gonna play his direct quote, 2428 02:17:16.440 --> 02:17:20.719 because he sure just just went on through that and 2429 02:17:20.840 --> 02:17:23.600 talked about federal troops and how the crime went down. 2430 02:17:23.719 --> 02:17:27.799 But uh, okay, let's once again now. 2431 02:17:28.600 --> 02:17:31.559 Senator Booker also said we should have bipartisan agreement.

Wow, 2440 02:18:02.959 --> 02:18:07.239 I'm hoping that that was a for I excuse the 2441 02:18:07.319 --> 02:18:11.719 pun or the distasteful turn of phrase here, I'm hoping 2442 02:18:11.760 --> 02:18:14.120 that was a slip of the tongue and not actually 2443 02:18:14.200 --> 02:18:17.840 what he meant to say, but a Freudian slip there. 2444 02:18:18.079 --> 02:18:21.200 That's better. That's a better use of the words. I'm 2445 02:18:21.319 --> 02:18:23.639 hoping that that was a Freudian slip and not him 2446 02:18:23.719 --> 02:18:27.319 actually saying that people need to leave pedophiles alone, because boy, 2447 02:18:27.520 --> 02:18:28.600 that's not good at all. 2448 02:18:30.200 --> 02:18:34.440 I think that we all know the cure for u pedophilia. 2449 02:18:34.479 --> 02:18:39.920 It's called pedicinin uh, it's that nine milimeter. 2450 02:18:40.479 --> 02:18:44.239 It does come in multiple different sizes as well.

My god, y'all, Florida man struck again, 2459 02:19:15.040 --> 02:19:18.200 and apparently this is the guy who started the Palisades 2460 02:19:18.239 --> 02:19:22.239 fire then tried to cover his track his tracks rather, Yes, 2461 02:19:22.360 --> 02:19:26.040 that is correct, Florida man is the one that did this. 2462 02:19:26.559 --> 02:19:29.360 This is from the La Times. All right, let's get 2463 02:19:29.399 --> 02:19:31.799 into it here. Authorities have arrested a suspect in the 2464 02:19:32.200 --> 02:19:35.239 Palisades fire after a nine month investigation into the blaze 2465 02:19:35.280 --> 02:19:38.520 that killed twelve people. The devastating fire that destroyed thousands 2466 02:19:38.559 --> 02:19:42.360 of homes appeared to have been rekindled of an earlier 2467 02:19:42.639 --> 02:19:46.719 New Year's Day fire. The most destructive inferno in Los 2468 02:19:46.760 --> 02:19:49.959 Angeles history, which charred a devastating path through the Pacific 2469 02:19:50.040 --> 02:19:54.280 Palisades and Malibu early January, was a flare up of 2470 02:19:54.360 --> 02:19:58.360 a fire that an uber driver had intentionally set days earlier. 2471 02:19:58.639 --> 02:20:07.159 Federal prosecutors edged Wednesday Jonathan render rinderkneck Yeay, his last 2472 02:20:07.200 --> 02:20:09.879 name is weird of course.

He 2475 02:20:16.319 --> 02:20:19.680 was arrested Wednesday in Florida and charged with destruction of 2476 02:20:19.760 --> 02:20:22.120 property by means of fire, which carries a minimum of 2477 02:20:22.159 --> 02:20:25.520 five years in federal prison. Among the evidence collected from 2478 02:20:25.719 --> 02:20:28.959 his digital devices was a dystopian image he generated on 2479 02:20:29.120 --> 02:20:32.559 Chad gpt Ai makes his entrance. You know what I'm saying, 2480 02:20:32.920 --> 02:20:35.760 depicting a burning city with people trying to flee, said 2481 02:20:35.959 --> 02:20:39.840 Bill Asali, acting you as attorney for the Central District 2482 02:20:39.879 --> 02:20:43.280 of California, at a news conference on Wednesday.

We cannot undo the damage and destruction 2490 02:21:08.360 --> 02:21:11.040 that was done. We hope this arrest and the charges 2491 02:21:11.040 --> 02:21:14.159 against him brings some measure of justice to the victims 2492 02:21:14.280 --> 02:21:16.920 of this horrific tragedy. Yeah, five years is really going 2493 02:21:17.000 --> 02:21:19.959 to bring justice to it. The federal prosecution affirms a 2494 02:21:20.040 --> 02:21:23.920 long suspected theory among fire experts, and comes after a 2495 02:21:24.000 --> 02:21:26.200 nine month pro into the cause of the Palisades fire, 2496 02:21:26.440 --> 02:21:30.959 which charged twenty three thousand, four hundred acres and leveled 2497 02:21:31.000 --> 02:21:34.840 more than sixty eight hundred structures, including many homes, and 2498 02:21:35.040 --> 02:21:38.600 of course twelve people did die in the blaze, So. 2499 02:21:40.040 --> 02:21:43.559 That died a child, not a roth Stein, was it. 2500 02:21:44.040 --> 02:21:46.440 It was one of the lots that died in one 2501 02:21:46.440 --> 02:21:48.840 of the thousand, who was like a hundred something. 2502 02:21:49.239 --> 02:21:51.399 Yeah, there was a Rothschild that died. Now I don't 2503 02:21:51.520 --> 02:21:55.440 know how connected to the Rothschild global banking family that 2504 02:21:55.559 --> 02:21:58.360 person was, but yes, that is that is a true statement. 2505 02:21:59.000 --> 02:22:01.319 I find it funny as name's lost child and if 2506 02:22:01.399 --> 02:22:04.360 he wouldn't be one of the money gloving bastards. 2507 02:22:04.840 --> 02:22:05.840 Yeah, I agree. 2508 02:22:06.600 --> 02:22:09.479 How common is the last name lost child? 2509 02:22:10.399 --> 02:22:12.959 I mean, I would assume not very, but I don't 2510 02:22:13.120 --> 02:22:13.840 know that for a fact. 2511 02:22:14.719 --> 02:22:17.040 Isn't it a very ancestuous clan. 2512 02:22:17.760 --> 02:22:20.719 Yeah, Well, as far as the banking clan goes, yeah, 2513 02:22:20.760 --> 02:22:24.120 you're not allowed to marry outside of second cousins. They 2514 02:22:24.200 --> 02:22:26.719 do that to make sure that the financial wealth of 2515 02:22:26.799 --> 02:22:29.399 the family stays with the family, so like there's no 2516 02:22:29.520 --> 02:22:34.000 outsiders allowed into that clique. So yeah, there's things, there's 2517 02:22:34.079 --> 02:22:36.360 things and stuff with all of that. But anyway, I 2518 02:22:36.479 --> 02:22:38.159 did want to bring it up as far as the 2519 02:22:38.239 --> 02:22:40.719 Palisades fires, and we talked about it on the colts. 2520 02:22:41.840 --> 02:22:45.440 They have a man in custody and it was, in fact, 2521 02:22:45.600 --> 02:22:50.200 a Florida man. It's you know, Florida man be striking. Now, 2522 02:22:51.159 --> 02:22:56.440 let's continue with some conversations about Trump and the situation 2523 02:22:56.559 --> 02:22:59.159 is going on some big cities in America right now. 2524 02:22:59.399 --> 02:23:03.959 I don't know which side of the aisle most people 2525 02:23:04.079 --> 02:23:07.040 get their news from, and I'm not judging one way 2526 02:23:07.120 --> 02:23:10.360 or another. What I am saying is that I have 2527 02:23:10.559 --> 02:23:16.520 watched hours and hours and hours of eyewitness boots on 2528 02:23:16.559 --> 02:23:20.959 the ground in the trenches type of reporting that has 2529 02:23:21.000 --> 02:23:25.159 been going on in regards to Portland, in regards to Chicago, 2530 02:23:25.639 --> 02:23:28.440 in regards to any of these big cities where they 2531 02:23:28.520 --> 02:23:33.200 have riots and barricades around ice buildings and federal agents 2532 02:23:33.280 --> 02:23:35.520 are being attacked, and all of these things is all 2533 02:23:35.639 --> 02:23:39.520 going on, and people are asking why hasn't Trump invoked 2534 02:23:39.760 --> 02:23:43.479 the Insurrection Act yet? So let's talk about it. This 2535 02:23:43.600 --> 02:23:47.280 is from Politico. President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection 2536 02:23:47.479 --> 02:23:50.200 Act if federal courts bar him from sending National Guard 2537 02:23:50.239 --> 02:23:53.440 troops to Portland, Oregon. It's a tactic that the President 2538 02:23:53.520 --> 02:23:56.360 has been anxious to use. But several key allies and 2539 02:23:56.559 --> 02:23:59.360 White House officials don't think he'll need it, at least 2540 02:23:59.399 --> 02:24:02.440 for now, they are confident that the Trump administration will 2541 02:24:02.440 --> 02:24:05.159 prevail in court after a federal judge twice blocked the 2542 02:24:05.200 --> 02:24:08.760 White House's efforts to send troops into Oregon because she 2543 02:24:09.040 --> 02:24:14.159 ruled that the president's moved lacked legal basis. Again, it 2544 02:24:14.239 --> 02:24:17.559 doesn't take you very much effort to look on YouTube 2545 02:24:17.639 --> 02:24:21.600 and find videos of not even press release reporters affiliated 2546 02:24:21.639 --> 02:24:24.840 with some sort of a MSM, talking about just a 2547 02:24:25.120 --> 02:24:28.559 YouTuber who is just talking to people on the street 2548 02:24:28.600 --> 02:24:31.440 to see what it's about, including the governor who was 2549 02:24:31.479 --> 02:24:34.559 walking with this group. Should add that the governor of 2550 02:24:34.680 --> 02:24:37.799 Oregon and the mayor of Portland were walking with the 2551 02:24:37.879 --> 02:24:41.959 protests that turned into riots, and this dude was attacked, 2552 02:24:42.360 --> 02:24:45.760 he was hit, people were getting pepper spray, people were 2553 02:24:45.760 --> 02:24:48.360 getting arrested, all these things around him. If these were 2554 02:24:48.399 --> 02:24:52.040 peaceful protests, why would you be taking a swing at 2555 02:24:52.120 --> 02:24:55.719 ice agents. That's not what's happening here. So they're asking 2556 02:24:55.879 --> 02:24:59.440 why doesn't he instill the Insurrection Act. Let's read in 2557 02:24:59.559 --> 02:25:03.760 more here. Anyway, the administration has appealed to the ninth 2558 02:25:04.000 --> 02:25:07.440 US Circuit Court of Appeals and would almost certainly take 2559 02:25:07.479 --> 02:25:09.840 the case of the Supreme Court if needed. Is a 2560 02:25:09.879 --> 02:25:13.120 direct quote here to be frank, if somebody wants twenty 2561 02:25:13.200 --> 02:25:16.239 to one odds that this temporary restraining order would survive 2562 02:25:16.319 --> 02:25:19.639 Supreme Court review, I'd give it to them, said Will Chamberlin, 2563 02:25:19.760 --> 02:25:22.799 senior counsel at the Article IREI Project, a Trump aligned 2564 02:25:22.920 --> 02:25:26.479 legal organization founded in twenty nineteen. That's how strongly I 2565 02:25:26.559 --> 02:25:29.559 think this is doomed to be reversed. But even as 2566 02:25:29.639 --> 02:25:32.639 the White House insists that the President is on firm 2567 02:25:32.799 --> 02:25:35.319 legal ground, Trump has made clear he has a plan 2568 02:25:35.479 --> 02:25:38.479 b the Insurrection Act in eighteen oh seven, law that 2569 02:25:38.559 --> 02:25:41.559 gives the president emergency powers to deployed troops on US 2570 02:25:41.600 --> 02:25:45.879 soil to quell what the president deems an insurrection. This 2571 02:25:46.040 --> 02:25:48.399 is from Trump. If I had to enact it, I'd 2572 02:25:48.479 --> 02:25:50.600 do it. If people were being killed and the courts 2573 02:25:50.639 --> 02:25:54.319 were holding us up, or governors or mayors is holding 2574 02:25:54.399 --> 02:25:57.239 us up, I'd use it. Trump declined to invoke the 2575 02:25:57.319 --> 02:26:00.239 Insurrection Act earlier this year in the context of the 2576 02:26:00.319 --> 02:26:04.799 emergency at the southern border, after Defense Secretary War Secretary 2577 02:26:05.200 --> 02:26:09.680 Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome recommended against it, 2578 02:26:10.000 --> 02:26:12.840 but in recent weeks, the White House has been increasingly 2579 02:26:12.959 --> 02:26:16.040 building the case to use the move to blue cities, 2580 02:26:16.360 --> 02:26:22.040 with Trump repeatedly calling rioters in Portland insurrectionists. Its invocation 2581 02:26:22.319 --> 02:26:24.959 would fulfill a long term desire of the president. He'd 2582 02:26:25.000 --> 02:26:28.280 views it as the epitome of presidential power and considered 2583 02:26:28.440 --> 02:26:31.520 invoking it to quell unrest during the George Floyd protests 2584 02:26:31.559 --> 02:26:35.159 in twenty twenty. Aid suggests it again after he lost 2585 02:26:35.200 --> 02:26:38.000 the twenty twenty election, and he talked about it extensively 2586 02:26:38.079 --> 02:26:41.280 during the twenty twenty four campaign, and allies discussed it 2587 02:26:41.440 --> 02:26:43.879 in the context of the twenty twenty four election, concerned 2588 02:26:43.920 --> 02:26:48.680 that Trump's victory would spark violent protest movements, which I 2589 02:26:48.760 --> 02:26:50.719 mean the did we or do we not? Just see 2590 02:26:50.719 --> 02:26:54.120 a No King's Day but anyway, which was done in 2591 02:26:54.200 --> 02:26:57.520 response to the military parade that Trump put on for 2592 02:26:57.600 --> 02:27:00.559 his birthday, when in reality it was the United States 2593 02:27:00.719 --> 02:27:02.719 Armies two hundred and fiftieth birthday and that was the 2594 02:27:02.799 --> 02:27:05.799 reason for the parade. Hell, I'm going to Philadelphia November 2595 02:27:05.840 --> 02:27:08.040 to celebrate the Marine Corps two hundred and fiftieth birthday. 2596 02:27:08.079 --> 02:27:10.239 It had nothing to do with Trump having an ego trip. 2597 02:27:10.799 --> 02:27:14.399 It was weird timing that his birthday and the Army's 2598 02:27:14.440 --> 02:27:16.680 birthday happened to be aligned in such a way, but 2599 02:27:16.840 --> 02:27:20.600 that wasn't by design, but you know whatever, it would 2600 02:27:20.639 --> 02:27:24.680 mark major intensification in the president's crackdown on crime, immigration, 2601 02:27:24.840 --> 02:27:28.079 and riots, making his promises to use the military for 2602 02:27:28.159 --> 02:27:32.239 domestic law enforcement on the campaign trail a reality. So 2603 02:27:32.799 --> 02:27:34.040 just so we're clear here, I'm not going to read 2604 02:27:34.040 --> 02:27:37.719 the whole article. There has been other times throughout the 2605 02:27:37.840 --> 02:27:41.879 US history where a president has invoked the Insurrection Act 2606 02:27:42.280 --> 02:27:50.079 to further their means. Famously, Dwight D. Eisenhower famously JFK JFK. 2607 02:27:50.200 --> 02:27:51.559 As a matter of fact, when they were trying to 2608 02:27:51.799 --> 02:27:55.600 integrate the school system, the National Guard troops that were 2609 02:27:55.639 --> 02:27:59.879 deployed to make sure that the little black children were 2610 02:27:59.879 --> 02:28:05.760 able to go to school without being attacked by white parents, 2611 02:28:06.639 --> 02:28:10.520 those National Guard troops were deployed under the Insurrection Act. 2612 02:28:12.000 --> 02:28:14.600 Just so we're clear, this is not like he's just 2613 02:28:14.680 --> 02:28:17.319 doing this as as an ego trip and he's way 2614 02:28:17.399 --> 02:28:22.360 too powerful. No, No, there is real problems that are 2615 02:28:22.440 --> 02:28:25.760 going on in major US cities right now to stop 2616 02:28:26.040 --> 02:28:30.840 ICE agents from detaining illegal immigrants, which is something that 2617 02:28:31.239 --> 02:28:34.600 we have talked about on mass People that think that 2618 02:28:34.760 --> 02:28:38.399 borders are suggestions and not real things have no idea 2619 02:28:38.479 --> 02:28:41.479 how history works. That's never how any group of people 2620 02:28:41.520 --> 02:28:43.680 throughout the course of human history have ever seen things. 2621 02:28:43.719 --> 02:28:48.159 Including the Native Americans. They understood lines, they understood hunting grounds, 2622 02:28:48.200 --> 02:28:50.719 and if this tribe was in their hunting grounds, they 2623 02:28:50.760 --> 02:28:54.559 would go to actual war over that. Lines and divisions 2624 02:28:54.639 --> 02:28:58.000 and barriers and borders have always been a thing since 2625 02:28:58.040 --> 02:29:01.239 the ancient times. So to say that America's border is 2626 02:29:01.680 --> 02:29:05.440 unlawful and there's no such thing as illegal persons, that's 2627 02:29:05.680 --> 02:29:09.399 just ridiculous historically speaking and in our modern day speaking. 2628 02:29:09.600 --> 02:29:12.600 So I, for one, kind of hope that he does 2629 02:29:13.120 --> 02:29:15.200 use the Insurrection Act to get these troops where they 2630 02:29:15.239 --> 02:29:19.719 are needed, because Chicago has kicked off right now and 2631 02:29:19.840 --> 02:29:23.000 they have deployed National Guard troops and Marines. If I'm 2632 02:29:23.040 --> 02:29:26.479 not mistaken, I see Portland is needing the exact same treatment, 2633 02:29:26.639 --> 02:29:30.159 as well as multiple major cities across the country right now. 2634 02:29:30.360 --> 02:29:31.200 Sam with your thoughts. 2635 02:29:33.760 --> 02:29:40.120 Okay, so two things. So again, the governor newsom or 2636 02:29:40.319 --> 02:29:41.840 is it news to come? I don't know how to 2637 02:29:41.840 --> 02:29:46.079 pronounce the bitch's name. But anyway, uh dude lud tried 2638 02:29:46.079 --> 02:29:50.719 to signing a bill in that pro that prohibits federal agents. 2639 02:29:50.719 --> 02:29:55.600 Ic DA and every and everything from wearing a face mask. 2640 02:29:56.000 --> 02:29:59.879 Well even though that it's it's known that uh Antifa 2641 02:30:00.040 --> 02:30:04.280 has been docsing a ICE agents and there's even people saying, 2642 02:30:04.520 --> 02:30:07.600 don't just kill the ICE agents, kill their families. So 2643 02:30:08.000 --> 02:30:11.680 that is legitimate terroristic. That is terrorists. 2644 02:30:11.920 --> 02:30:13.799 Yeah, and it's because. 2645 02:30:13.559 --> 02:30:18.680 They're using violence to to uh persuade a political uh statement, 2646 02:30:19.920 --> 02:30:25.559 which is a textbook definition. Also, the second thing in 2647 02:30:25.799 --> 02:30:30.440 Portland there was there was a journalist who got attacked 2648 02:30:31.399 --> 02:30:36.000 and the cops who showed up and everything arrested him, 2649 02:30:36.040 --> 02:30:42.799 didn't even arrest the Antifa member that attacked him and everything. Uh, 2650 02:30:43.639 --> 02:30:47.920 So Portland is getting fucked, which they need to fucked 2651 02:30:47.959 --> 02:30:51.719 him in the ass because the guy that got detained everything, 2652 02:30:51.799 --> 02:30:55.799 he made a call to uh the uh general Attorney, 2653 02:30:56.360 --> 02:30:59.879 uh the the like top lawyer of the fucking nation. 2654 02:31:00.719 --> 02:31:03.920 I can't remember her name, which then she called and 2655 02:31:04.200 --> 02:31:10.639 she gave it like anyway that the the yeah he 2656 02:31:10.840 --> 02:31:18.239 called Pambondi. Yeah, so that entire police station is under investigation. Also, 2657 02:31:18.479 --> 02:31:23.120 I was listening to the police calls of Portland, there 2658 02:31:23.280 --> 02:31:28.600 was actual uh uh. Dispatchers were telling cops who stand down, 2659 02:31:28.680 --> 02:31:31.600 do not intervene, slap ship play out, do not help 2660 02:31:31.840 --> 02:31:34.639 the ICE agents that are being barricaded in and are 2661 02:31:34.719 --> 02:31:36.159 being attacked, don't help them. 2662 02:31:36.680 --> 02:31:40.159 So at that point in time, that's committing treason. 2663 02:31:40.920 --> 02:31:46.719 And every police officer and uh active military uh personnel, 2664 02:31:46.840 --> 02:31:50.639 they all make they they make an oath to the constitution. 2665 02:31:51.479 --> 02:31:53.959 UH for the military, it's both for an and domestic 2666 02:31:54.079 --> 02:32:00.319 for the police. That it's just domestic. I have I 2667 02:32:00.360 --> 02:32:01.959 have an uncle who's a sheriff, and I have my 2668 02:32:02.040 --> 02:32:05.280 best friend. His dad is with tired knine. Uh. He 2669 02:32:05.440 --> 02:32:11.479 was a major. But I know how, I know how 2670 02:32:11.680 --> 02:32:13.840 clew up police stations are from within. 2671 02:32:14.239 --> 02:32:15.200 Sure, I've seen it. 2672 02:32:17.120 --> 02:32:19.840 It's just kind of pissing me off out there that 2673 02:32:20.040 --> 02:32:24.440 it's so deep rooted that even that there's even like 2674 02:32:24.680 --> 02:32:27.440 people that took an oath, and that oath doesn't mean 2675 02:32:27.479 --> 02:32:28.079 shit to them. 2676 02:32:28.760 --> 02:32:30.840 Man is only as good as his word, and if 2677 02:32:30.879 --> 02:32:32.959 his ward isn't good, neither is he. No. 2678 02:32:33.079 --> 02:32:36.040 I can agree with that one hundred percent. And to 2679 02:32:36.200 --> 02:32:41.040 that point, there are multiple cases of Antifa members dosing 2680 02:32:41.319 --> 02:32:45.719 these agents and attacking their families. Like, that's not a hypothetical, 2681 02:32:45.799 --> 02:32:48.120 that's not just something you've seen on the airnet for clickbait. 2682 02:32:48.479 --> 02:32:52.399 That is really happening in multiple places. So, and Antifa 2683 02:32:52.680 --> 02:32:55.760 is a designated terrorist group, right, And it's not just 2684 02:32:55.840 --> 02:32:59.959 because they are aligned with the opposition of the current administration. 2685 02:33:00.680 --> 02:33:04.079 It's like you said, they are trying to invoke violence 2686 02:33:04.719 --> 02:33:08.639 to further their political goals. That is textbook definition of 2687 02:33:08.719 --> 02:33:09.799 what a terrorist is. 2688 02:33:10.399 --> 02:33:16.959 So I've mentioned it before. Hassan says. He put out 2689 02:33:17.000 --> 02:33:19.040 a thing a couple of days ago, said that hey, 2690 02:33:19.159 --> 02:33:22.319 y'all should which was him just re uploading a sound 2691 02:33:22.360 --> 02:33:25.440 clip of him saying that what America needs and this 2692 02:33:25.639 --> 02:33:28.239 is his quotes, not mine, because that what they need 2693 02:33:28.319 --> 02:33:32.239 to do is bring an IRA style sale here. And 2694 02:33:32.319 --> 02:33:35.280 I'm not yet the right pull call bombings and shit. 2695 02:33:35.760 --> 02:33:40.879 So the IRA work or Catholic Catholic So, Hassan Piker, 2696 02:33:41.280 --> 02:33:44.520 he shows his ideocracy every time he opens his mouth. 2697 02:33:45.200 --> 02:33:47.920 He's a product of vicesse just like his uncle Chank. 2698 02:33:48.559 --> 02:33:49.959 Very true, very true. 2699 02:33:51.120 --> 02:33:53.639 And dude doesn't even consider himself American. He like he 2700 02:33:53.799 --> 02:33:57.760 posted with him with an Otoman sword, said it's a 2701 02:33:57.799 --> 02:34:00.639 great thing to be an Ottoman, which he counts itself 2702 02:34:00.639 --> 02:34:03.559 as one of them. Like if you hate America, why 2703 02:34:03.639 --> 02:34:06.799 are you here? And it's funny how you say you're 2704 02:34:06.799 --> 02:34:10.479 a communist and everything, but you ask at the Gucci bag. 2705 02:34:11.520 --> 02:34:14.319 Yeah, he should really just move to Turkey, where his 2706 02:34:14.440 --> 02:34:15.360 ancestors are from. 2707 02:34:15.440 --> 02:34:17.319 I have no problem with that, but you know, I 2708 02:34:17.399 --> 02:34:21.440 think he should get tossed in a laugh and get 2709 02:34:21.600 --> 02:34:23.639 shipped off with nothing but the clothes on his back 2710 02:34:23.760 --> 02:34:24.440 back to Turkey. 2711 02:34:25.040 --> 02:34:26.879 Very true. All right, now, I did want to play 2712 02:34:26.920 --> 02:34:30.440 this clip from CBS Chicago. Five hundred members of Texas 2713 02:34:30.479 --> 02:34:34.159 and Illinois National Guard have been deployed to Chicago. This 2714 02:34:34.280 --> 02:34:36.840 is from six hours ago as of time recording. Let's watch. 2715 02:34:37.799 --> 02:34:40.959 Hundreds of troops from the Texas and Illinois National Guard 2716 02:34:41.000 --> 02:34:43.639 are now positioned to deploy across the Chicago area. 2717 02:34:44.000 --> 02:34:45.639 When will we see them on the street. 2718 02:34:45.840 --> 02:34:48.680 That's a question that could be decided by a judge tomorrow. 2719 02:34:48.879 --> 02:34:51.520 Are Sarah Makia is live in Elwood, where some Guard 2720 02:34:51.600 --> 02:34:52.680 members arrived yesterday. 2721 02:34:52.719 --> 02:34:54.159 Any movement today, Sarah. 2722 02:34:56.879 --> 02:34:59.559 Well, guys, we do have just a handful of protesters 2723 02:34:59.600 --> 02:35:02.319 out here right now, but we have seen very little 2724 02:35:02.440 --> 02:35:05.680 movement otherwise, and that might be because leaders are waiting 2725 02:35:05.760 --> 02:35:07.920 to see what we hear from the court. We have 2726 02:35:08.079 --> 02:35:12.799 seen mostly supplies going in, very few if any people 2727 02:35:12.920 --> 02:35:15.319 coming out, But we do have some new numbers. We 2728 02:35:15.399 --> 02:35:19.040 now know that there are two hundred troops here from Texas, 2729 02:35:19.120 --> 02:35:22.479 another three hundred for the state of Illinois, and they 2730 02:35:22.520 --> 02:35:25.120 are told that they will at least be spending sixty 2731 02:35:25.280 --> 02:35:28.920 days on this deployment. Our cameras were rolling as crews 2732 02:35:28.920 --> 02:35:31.760 put up privacy screens along the interier of the existing 2733 02:35:31.840 --> 02:35:35.319 fence line at the Army Reserve training facility southwest of Chicago. 2734 02:35:35.760 --> 02:35:37.879 One of the few signs of the National Guard members 2735 02:35:37.959 --> 02:35:40.440 now staging inside while they wait to hear from a 2736 02:35:40.520 --> 02:35:44.079 federal judge. The city, county and state of Illinois trying 2737 02:35:44.120 --> 02:35:45.360 to block their deployment. 2738 02:35:46.159 --> 02:35:51.159 It details why this is a motion for temporary restraining 2739 02:35:51.239 --> 02:35:53.959 orders should be granted as a practical matter, because it 2740 02:35:54.040 --> 02:35:57.079 talks about the problems that things are being caused by 2741 02:35:57.760 --> 02:36:00.520 witnesses not coming to court, defendants not showing up for 2742 02:36:00.559 --> 02:36:04.120 court dates, domestic violence victims being scared to go to court. 2743 02:36:04.559 --> 02:36:06.799 Our legal analyst RV. Miller says it is likely the 2744 02:36:06.879 --> 02:36:10.239 troops have not been stationed around Chicago yet while they 2745 02:36:10.319 --> 02:36:12.000 wait on the judge's decision. 2746 02:36:12.600 --> 02:36:16.799 Absolutely, I mean, the judge didn't explicitly state that they 2747 02:36:16.879 --> 02:36:19.920 couldn't come into the city, but I think if you 2748 02:36:20.040 --> 02:36:22.399 read between the lines as to what she was saying, 2749 02:36:22.879 --> 02:36:26.319 that it probably would be a good idea if everybody 2750 02:36:26.399 --> 02:36:29.280 waited till she made the decision on Thursday to decide 2751 02:36:29.319 --> 02:36:30.600 what they're going to actually do. 2752 02:36:30.959 --> 02:36:33.639 Miller tells US any decision will likely be appealed to 2753 02:36:33.840 --> 02:36:38.559 a higher court, though, President Trump suggesting, regardless of the decision, 2754 02:36:38.959 --> 02:36:42.399 he may send in the troops invoking the Insurrection Act, 2755 02:36:42.840 --> 02:36:45.360 sending them to guard federal properties, some of which have 2756 02:36:45.479 --> 02:36:47.559 been the sites of recent protests. 2757 02:36:48.200 --> 02:36:52.280 President Trump invoking the Insurrection Act would be terrible. It 2758 02:36:52.319 --> 02:36:55.799 would be illegal and unconstitutional because there is no basis 2759 02:36:55.879 --> 02:36:59.799 in law for his invasion with these troops from Texas 2760 02:36:59.840 --> 02:37:02.680 and to the state of Illinois. Is not making life 2761 02:37:02.760 --> 02:37:05.319 any better for our state, and he's not making it 2762 02:37:05.399 --> 02:37:06.079 any safer. 2763 02:37:07.879 --> 02:37:10.079 This is the biggest group of demonstrators we have seen 2764 02:37:10.159 --> 02:37:12.760 thus far. We have seen people on both sides of 2765 02:37:12.840 --> 02:37:15.639 this issue come out at different points. We could expect 2766 02:37:15.639 --> 02:37:17.959 to hear from the judge as early as tomorrow morning 2767 02:37:18.239 --> 02:37:20.239 from Elwood c Hermachy CBS New Chicago. 2768 02:37:21.239 --> 02:37:23.879 Okay, so, just to break this down, and we talked 2769 02:37:23.879 --> 02:37:28.600 about this last week, the troops are going only to 2770 02:37:28.799 --> 02:37:32.879 guard federal buildings because those federal buildings are being besieged 2771 02:37:33.360 --> 02:37:36.319 by the ANTIFA members and protesters and things like this. 2772 02:37:37.079 --> 02:37:41.040 Here's why that's important. Up until this point, the police 2773 02:37:41.120 --> 02:37:43.600 have been out there to break up the protesters and 2774 02:37:43.719 --> 02:37:46.680 the besiegers and things. That means that these are more 2775 02:37:46.760 --> 02:37:49.319 police that are not out in the city doing their 2776 02:37:49.520 --> 02:37:53.399 jobs that now have to be designated. Here. If you 2777 02:37:53.520 --> 02:37:57.719 send troops to guard these buildings, now the police for 2778 02:37:57.879 --> 02:38:01.680 that local city can go out and effectively do their jobs. 2779 02:38:01.920 --> 02:38:04.639 You're freeing up more resources for the city so that 2780 02:38:04.760 --> 02:38:08.959 they can handle their own internal problems. And the reason 2781 02:38:09.040 --> 02:38:12.719 why this is needed is because there are multiple federal buildings, 2782 02:38:12.879 --> 02:38:16.360 mostly ice detention agencies or buildings and things that have 2783 02:38:16.479 --> 02:38:19.120 been shot up and had things thrown at them and 2784 02:38:19.280 --> 02:38:22.520 damage done to the building itself. So to say, there's 2785 02:38:22.559 --> 02:38:26.120 no legal precedence for this and there's no reason for this. Again, 2786 02:38:26.319 --> 02:38:30.559 all evidence to the contrary, but yeah, this is the 2787 02:38:30.639 --> 02:38:33.399 status of America. Right now. We have a government shut down, 2788 02:38:33.879 --> 02:38:37.600 we have insurrections going on in certain cities, and no 2789 02:38:37.760 --> 02:38:39.799 matter which way you go, the president tries to make 2790 02:38:39.879 --> 02:38:43.280 something happen, and the leader of that area, especially if 2791 02:38:43.319 --> 02:38:45.520 they're a part of the opposition, says, no way, man, 2792 02:38:45.959 --> 02:38:48.959 not up in here. Meanwhile, if it's a state like Louisiana, 2793 02:38:49.040 --> 02:38:51.159 where he talked about sending troops to New Orleans, the 2794 02:38:51.280 --> 02:38:54.360 Louisiana governor was like, please come on in. We could 2795 02:38:54.440 --> 02:38:57.600 use all the help we need. They are over politicizing 2796 02:38:57.680 --> 02:39:00.879 something that should be right off the scene as a 2797 02:39:01.000 --> 02:39:04.040 net positive. But of course this is what you can 2798 02:39:04.120 --> 02:39:08.680 expect from these groups of people anyway. All right, so 2799 02:39:08.799 --> 02:39:11.280 before we head out, I do want to check out 2800 02:39:11.319 --> 02:39:13.479 the chat and see what else has been said in here. 2801 02:39:14.920 --> 02:39:18.360 Do Let's see Germany. Uh oh, the Prime Minister of 2802 02:39:18.440 --> 02:39:21.959 Germany is talking about bringing back the draft. Unfortunately I 2803 02:39:22.120 --> 02:39:25.920 got it in German, but I can translate just like 2804 02:39:26.079 --> 02:39:29.159 twenty or thirties. So okay, all right, So Tony, do 2805 02:39:29.200 --> 02:39:30.479 you want me to pull this one up? We could 2806 02:39:30.479 --> 02:39:33.520 talk about it. You're muted still, brother. 2807 02:39:35.440 --> 02:39:39.040 Oh yeah, let's play it. It'll be pretty quick, all right. 2808 02:39:39.120 --> 02:39:40.879 This is an ex post. As a matter of fact, 2809 02:39:41.000 --> 02:39:44.559 let me pull it up. Oh hold on, let me 2810 02:39:44.680 --> 02:39:48.399 pause it and share the screen with the class once again. 2811 02:39:48.399 --> 02:39:50.040 For anybody who would like to see what we are 2812 02:39:50.120 --> 02:39:52.639 talking about or join in the conversation. Every Wednesday at 2813 02:39:52.680 --> 02:39:55.000 nine pm Central, come check out the link of the 2814 02:39:55.040 --> 02:39:57.959 description for the Cajun Night Live on Patreon. 2815 02:39:58.600 --> 02:40:00.479 Yeah, I'll talk over him if that that's okay? 2816 02:40:01.000 --> 02:40:03.000 Okay? Do you want me to keep it low or 2817 02:40:03.159 --> 02:40:03.680 keep it off? 2818 02:40:05.600 --> 02:40:06.120 Keep it low? 2819 02:40:06.479 --> 02:40:08.920 All right? Keeping it low? All right, Let's listen to 2820 02:40:09.040 --> 02:40:12.280 a German Asian guy that's like, that's not something you 2821 02:40:12.360 --> 02:40:15.360 see very often. All right, let's check it out. Shut 2822 02:40:15.920 --> 02:40:16.600 us a video again. 2823 02:40:17.719 --> 02:40:22.440 He just says, look at this video. Meritz says, the 2824 02:40:22.719 --> 02:40:25.000 money is not the problem. What we have is we 2825 02:40:25.120 --> 02:40:29.120 don't have enough qualified personnel in our military. And what 2826 02:40:29.239 --> 02:40:31.680 are we going to do about that. We need bigger reserves, 2827 02:40:32.200 --> 02:40:36.280 and we probably can't pump up those numbers with people 2828 02:40:36.319 --> 02:40:43.040 who just voluntarily enlist, So we just need more people. 2829 02:40:44.120 --> 02:40:47.239 And the Asian guy says, let me translate this for you. 2830 02:40:47.479 --> 02:40:49.760 He says, we have plenty of money from Black Rock, 2831 02:40:49.879 --> 02:40:52.959 we have weapons from the USA. We just need one 2832 02:40:53.040 --> 02:40:56.399 more thing. We need your kids. And that's about all 2833 02:40:56.760 --> 02:40:59.440 I wanted to show you. So Meritz is part of 2834 02:40:59.559 --> 02:41:03.920 the Conservative coalition, he's a prime minister, he wants and 2835 02:41:04.040 --> 02:41:06.959 Germany's had a draft law on the books forever, but 2836 02:41:07.079 --> 02:41:10.479 they have not invoked it to my knowledge, since World 2837 02:41:10.559 --> 02:41:15.799 War Two. And anyway, the SPD Social Democrats, they're the 2838 02:41:15.920 --> 02:41:19.399 main liberal party. They're also in favor of drafting people 2839 02:41:19.440 --> 02:41:23.559 and it's basically for Ukraine. The AfD is now the 2840 02:41:23.600 --> 02:41:27.399 biggest party. They are okay with the idea of a 2841 02:41:27.479 --> 02:41:31.360 draft and principle, but they say zero German forces abroad, 2842 02:41:31.760 --> 02:41:34.399 nobody for Ukraine, and I think that's the way to go. 2843 02:41:34.639 --> 02:41:36.319 They seem to be the most popular right now. 2844 02:41:36.639 --> 02:41:39.000 They're the Germany first party, if I'm not mistaken, right. 2845 02:41:40.479 --> 02:41:43.600 Yeah, AfD they're kind of like MEGA. It stands for 2846 02:41:43.719 --> 02:41:48.479 Altera Natifa fjer Deutschland, their right wing. They're actually most 2847 02:41:48.520 --> 02:41:53.840 popular in the East. Yeah, formerly East Germany, Russia alligned 2848 02:41:53.840 --> 02:41:54.760 Warsaw pack. 2849 02:41:54.680 --> 02:41:58.879 Part interesting, although I have to disagree with what the 2850 02:41:59.000 --> 02:42:04.399 Asian guy was saying. We have funding from black Rock. Okay, fine, 2851 02:42:04.600 --> 02:42:08.479 so does everybody. We have weapons from the US. Germany 2852 02:42:08.680 --> 02:42:11.399 has been developing their own weapons for quite some time. 2853 02:42:11.559 --> 02:42:14.280 Their new line of tanks that they have come out 2854 02:42:14.319 --> 02:42:18.920 with are solid Heckler and cocker. H and K make 2855 02:42:19.040 --> 02:42:21.319 the weapons that go into the German military. That's a 2856 02:42:21.399 --> 02:42:25.200 German weapons manufacturer. That's not American weapons. If you're gonna say, 2857 02:42:25.239 --> 02:42:28.399 like hi, Mars and things like that, fine, sure they're 2858 02:42:28.399 --> 02:42:30.799 buying some missiles from America. I'm not gonna negate that. 2859 02:42:30.959 --> 02:42:35.120 But Germany is very capable of arming their own military 2860 02:42:35.239 --> 02:42:37.840 without the help of the United States and him saying 2861 02:42:37.879 --> 02:42:40.000 all we need is your children, You mean all that 2862 02:42:40.200 --> 02:42:45.120 Germany needs is German people to defend Germany. That's I 2863 02:42:45.200 --> 02:42:47.520 know that might sound mind blowing, but like that's like 2864 02:42:47.600 --> 02:42:51.239 saying all America needs is American people to defend America 2865 02:42:51.559 --> 02:42:54.479 and not go to foreign wars. Okay, I can at 2866 02:42:54.559 --> 02:42:56.879 least get behind that. If you're talking about a Germany first, 2867 02:42:57.319 --> 02:42:59.239 don't deploy them to other places. We just need a 2868 02:42:59.280 --> 02:43:02.760 man up to purt German borders and the German crisises 2869 02:43:02.840 --> 02:43:05.639 that are happening inside of Germany. I don't see a 2870 02:43:05.719 --> 02:43:06.280 negative here. 2871 02:43:07.440 --> 02:43:10.760 Well, they want to draft people, there's not enough volunteers, 2872 02:43:11.000 --> 02:43:13.840 and I really think that Meritz does want to have 2873 02:43:14.040 --> 02:43:17.239 enough that he could send some to Ukraine as advisors 2874 02:43:17.360 --> 02:43:19.479 or some kind of deniable forces like that. I think 2875 02:43:19.520 --> 02:43:25.079 they got plenty of plenty of volunteers. My speculation is 2876 02:43:25.879 --> 02:43:30.360 the same as Stormy Waters, who believes that's a pseudonym 2877 02:43:30.479 --> 02:43:31.920 for some guy I don't know his real name, but 2878 02:43:32.079 --> 02:43:36.360 he thinks that the European countries are trying to distract 2879 02:43:36.399 --> 02:43:44.079 people from domestic problems, especially monetary problems, and also demographic problems. 2880 02:43:44.120 --> 02:43:46.079 Too many old people, not enough young people, and too 2881 02:43:46.120 --> 02:43:46.840 many immigrants. 2882 02:43:47.440 --> 02:43:50.239 Yeah, and I mean, I'll say this, when it comes 2883 02:43:50.319 --> 02:43:56.399 to conscriptions or drafts or anything like that, pros and 2884 02:43:56.479 --> 02:44:00.239 cons to this pros, you will get your numbers up, 2885 02:44:00.799 --> 02:44:03.079 and you will get some people that will excel in 2886 02:44:03.120 --> 02:44:06.680 the military that would have never joined otherwise. And that 2887 02:44:06.959 --> 02:44:11.079 is a thing cool. Downside, you will get the dregs 2888 02:44:11.120 --> 02:44:13.879 of society. You will get the ship bags that you 2889 02:44:14.000 --> 02:44:18.280 don't want anywhere near your military, and that is that's 2890 02:44:18.319 --> 02:44:21.920 a real thing, right. Any country that has forced conscription 2891 02:44:22.280 --> 02:44:26.200 faces these problems where you basically get the short termers 2892 02:44:26.239 --> 02:44:28.120 that are only there for their two years of service 2893 02:44:28.239 --> 02:44:31.600 or four years or whatever their country designates, and the 2894 02:44:31.680 --> 02:44:33.680 ones that are there to just do their job and 2895 02:44:33.719 --> 02:44:36.600 get out solid. They do fine. The ones that are 2896 02:44:37.239 --> 02:44:40.879 diametrically opposed to the military or to any kind of 2897 02:44:41.000 --> 02:44:44.959 war fighting whatsoever, they tend to bring down the entire unit. 2898 02:44:45.159 --> 02:44:47.120 And there's only so many places where you could stick 2899 02:44:47.159 --> 02:44:49.239 them to where they're away from people, where they also 2900 02:44:49.319 --> 02:44:50.840 won't go out of their way to be shitty at 2901 02:44:50.879 --> 02:44:54.239 their jobs as their own personal form of protests. And 2902 02:44:54.360 --> 02:44:59.200 it's been done successfully a few places, but that's for 2903 02:44:59.319 --> 02:45:03.280 places that have culture of military service and of defense 2904 02:45:03.319 --> 02:45:07.520 and things like that, like South Korea or Israel. Right, 2905 02:45:07.639 --> 02:45:10.639 these people have a culture of defending their land and 2906 02:45:10.840 --> 02:45:13.799 being an active conflict. So like they all for the 2907 02:45:13.879 --> 02:45:15.959 most part want to do their part and then get 2908 02:45:15.959 --> 02:45:18.360 out when the time comes. There's some exceptions, of course, 2909 02:45:18.399 --> 02:45:21.079 there's some nuance, but by and large they accept it 2910 02:45:21.120 --> 02:45:24.600 because it's had a long precedence. Trying to force that 2911 02:45:24.719 --> 02:45:27.440 out of nowhere. It's not going to be very popular 2912 02:45:28.159 --> 02:45:30.840 at all, and it's not going to be popular for 2913 02:45:30.920 --> 02:45:33.840 them in the next election cycle either, I should say that. 2914 02:45:34.959 --> 02:45:37.799 Yeah. One other thing. Germany's suffering from a lot of 2915 02:45:38.440 --> 02:45:42.559 collapse in industrial production. They're not making steel anymore, they're 2916 02:45:42.600 --> 02:45:45.319 closing a lot of car plants. They just can't make 2917 02:45:45.399 --> 02:45:49.440 anything anymore. China seems to be stepping in in that regregard. 2918 02:45:49.879 --> 02:45:53.399 They can. They're making something like half the electric cars 2919 02:45:53.440 --> 02:45:56.159 in the world now, China is. And they just built 2920 02:45:56.200 --> 02:45:59.239 a really impressive bridge that they finished last week that 2921 02:45:59.360 --> 02:46:01.959 took three years. There's a lot of people were posting 2922 02:46:01.959 --> 02:46:04.760 about that on Twitter, mostly to the effect that why 2923 02:46:04.799 --> 02:46:08.680 can't we build stuff that impressive and quickly anymore? It's 2924 02:46:08.760 --> 02:46:13.639 a record like elevation bridge six hundred meters tall. 2925 02:46:13.719 --> 02:46:16.440 I think, are you talking about the one in China. 2926 02:46:17.319 --> 02:46:19.760 Yeah, yeah, they's a new bridge that just went up 2927 02:46:19.760 --> 02:46:20.200 in China. 2928 02:46:20.639 --> 02:46:23.479 Apparently it's the bridge on Earth now. It broke all 2929 02:46:23.559 --> 02:46:26.040 records and all of these things, which is dope. That's 2930 02:46:26.040 --> 02:46:29.719 a cool statement, But I mean, why can't we do 2931 02:46:29.799 --> 02:46:31.879 these kinds of things as far as like Germany is concerned. 2932 02:46:33.079 --> 02:46:35.520 Is that what they're saying, Oh, just. 2933 02:46:35.680 --> 02:46:39.000 In the West in general, doesn't really build anything new anymore. 2934 02:46:39.600 --> 02:46:41.399 We can't get a high speed rail system here. I 2935 02:46:41.479 --> 02:46:44.040 think we totally could. We have the ability, we have 2936 02:46:44.120 --> 02:46:47.879 the competency, but we have too much bureaucracy or something, 2937 02:46:48.360 --> 02:46:50.440 and oh we just don't have the energy to do 2938 02:46:50.559 --> 02:46:51.079 it anymore. 2939 02:46:51.840 --> 02:46:53.959 I have my personal take on why we don't do 2940 02:46:54.040 --> 02:46:56.680 anything cool like that anymore is because the boomers are 2941 02:46:56.719 --> 02:47:00.920 still in charge. And the Boomers, since they have been 2942 02:47:01.000 --> 02:47:06.319 in charge of things, they outsource everything, They third party everything. 2943 02:47:06.879 --> 02:47:09.159 So why can't America do that? Because I mean, we 2944 02:47:09.200 --> 02:47:11.600 could just hire some foreign people to do it for 2945 02:47:11.680 --> 02:47:14.120 way cheaper. And why would we do it here when 2946 02:47:14.200 --> 02:47:15.639 we could do it there and we could just keep 2947 02:47:15.680 --> 02:47:18.559 the system that we've always had here. It's Boomer logic 2948 02:47:18.680 --> 02:47:20.559 and I can't fucking stand it. I'm gonna be honest 2949 02:47:20.639 --> 02:47:20.920 with you. 2950 02:47:21.280 --> 02:47:24.520 Not really, because California has been trying to build high 2951 02:47:24.520 --> 02:47:27.000 speed rail since two thousand and eight, and Chinese companies 2952 02:47:27.079 --> 02:47:29.920 offered to step in and out and California told them no. 2953 02:47:30.719 --> 02:47:33.159 But also California in and of itself, I mean, look 2954 02:47:33.200 --> 02:47:36.159 at that they can't get water to the places that 2955 02:47:36.319 --> 02:47:36.799 need it, you. 2956 02:47:36.799 --> 02:47:37.120 Know what I mean. 2957 02:47:37.159 --> 02:47:39.280 They've got their own inherent problems. But even to say, 2958 02:47:39.280 --> 02:47:40.879 if we had a high speed rail system to go 2959 02:47:40.959 --> 02:47:43.879 from coast to coast, we have the infrastructure to do this, 2960 02:47:44.360 --> 02:47:46.520 we have the manpower to do this. You could throw 2961 02:47:46.600 --> 02:47:49.079 tax dollars behind it, whole government projects, and we could 2962 02:47:49.120 --> 02:47:51.879 get this built, I would say in probably twenty years. 2963 02:47:52.559 --> 02:47:56.360 Real shit, will they do that? Of course not, because 2964 02:47:56.399 --> 02:47:59.079 why would we hire Americans to do that? We could 2965 02:47:59.159 --> 02:48:01.879 outsource it, we could do Why why do you want 2966 02:48:01.920 --> 02:48:04.159 a high speed rail system? Are you're saying our interstate 2967 02:48:04.239 --> 02:48:07.360 system is not good enough? And that's that they start 2968 02:48:07.399 --> 02:48:10.479 this whole thing where it becomes politicized. Now one side 2969 02:48:10.479 --> 02:48:12.440 says this, the other side says this, and like it's 2970 02:48:13.000 --> 02:48:14.840 it's boomers fighting about boomers. 2971 02:48:14.840 --> 02:48:15.079 Shit. 2972 02:48:15.440 --> 02:48:16.280 I can't stand it. 2973 02:48:17.079 --> 02:48:20.440 Yeah, damn one second. I drove from El Paso to 2974 02:48:20.520 --> 02:48:23.360 Denver today. I would I would do anything to be 2975 02:48:23.440 --> 02:48:25.200 able to do that trip a lot faster. You're six 2976 02:48:25.319 --> 02:48:27.360 hundred miles. I would love to hop on a train. 2977 02:48:27.520 --> 02:48:29.719 Absolutely, And I mean, don't get wrong, there are trains 2978 02:48:29.760 --> 02:48:32.559 that you could take to certain places. Not all over obviously, 2979 02:48:32.680 --> 02:48:35.959 but yeah, you could travel by train. I have never 2980 02:48:36.040 --> 02:48:38.719 actually ridden on a train. Of metros and subways and 2981 02:48:38.760 --> 02:48:41.239 things like that, yes, but actually train travel. It's all 2982 02:48:41.280 --> 02:48:43.360 my bucket list of things I want to do. But 2983 02:48:44.000 --> 02:48:47.280 I mean it's it's also not the most Uh, it's 2984 02:48:47.399 --> 02:48:50.920 not the most convenient. Let's leave it at that, you know, 2985 02:48:51.040 --> 02:48:53.000 I mean, unless you're going from a place that has 2986 02:48:53.079 --> 02:48:55.399 a train station to a place that has a train 2987 02:48:55.520 --> 02:48:58.239 station that doesn't just do cargo, does passenger as well, 2988 02:48:58.479 --> 02:49:00.799 then like by all means get after. But it's still 2989 02:49:00.799 --> 02:49:02.600 gonna take you days to make a trip that you 2990 02:49:02.639 --> 02:49:05.040 could have driven in like half the time. And it's 2991 02:49:05.079 --> 02:49:08.120 it's it has its own inherent problems. It depends on 2992 02:49:08.280 --> 02:49:10.200 where you're going and things like that. But now, I 2993 02:49:10.440 --> 02:49:12.719 for one, would love a high speed rail system. And 2994 02:49:12.840 --> 02:49:14.840 they have been talking about making a high speed rail 2995 02:49:14.879 --> 02:49:17.680 system to connect the entire West Coast for years and 2996 02:49:17.799 --> 02:49:20.000 years and years, and every time they try to get 2997 02:49:20.040 --> 02:49:23.920 the construction underway, it gets hit with so many problems 2998 02:49:24.079 --> 02:49:27.239 and restrictions and government interference that they can never really 2999 02:49:27.280 --> 02:49:30.079 get it off the ground. And it's it's like you said, 3000 02:49:30.120 --> 02:49:34.559 it's bureaucracy and it's annoying as hell. Sam, go ahead. 3001 02:49:37.360 --> 02:49:40.079 I was gonna say about the reason why the boomers 3002 02:49:40.079 --> 02:49:42.879 are so odd the way they are is because a 3003 02:49:42.920 --> 02:49:45.399 lot of them, that a lot of them at that time, 3004 02:49:45.520 --> 02:49:49.159 well even before they go up in that they go 3005 02:49:49.319 --> 02:49:50.360 up doing the Great Depression. 3006 02:49:50.760 --> 02:49:52.639 You have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. 3007 02:49:52.639 --> 02:49:55.639 A lot boomers were born in the fifties and sixties. Brother, 3008 02:49:55.680 --> 02:49:57.520 they weren't in the Great Depression. That was that's the 3009 02:49:57.559 --> 02:50:01.000 greatest generation, Yes, the boomers. 3010 02:50:00.559 --> 02:50:03.159 That they saw how their family, like their parents went 3011 02:50:03.200 --> 02:50:05.520 through that and then that and the great times. 3012 02:50:05.520 --> 02:50:06.159 They had it great. 3013 02:50:06.399 --> 02:50:09.680 They could buy a fucking house for five thousand dollars, 3014 02:50:09.799 --> 02:50:12.920 you know what I mean. And they didn't have to 3015 02:50:13.000 --> 02:50:14.680 pay all the fucking taxes that we have to do 3016 02:50:14.840 --> 02:50:17.000 down And they said, well, at your age, I already 3017 02:50:17.040 --> 02:50:19.559 had two families and six ten kids. 3018 02:50:20.000 --> 02:50:23.200 Well, I'm sorry their grandpa just ship don't look like 3019 02:50:23.319 --> 02:50:23.959 that no more. 3020 02:50:25.319 --> 02:50:28.399 Yeah, I'm not just trying to ship on the older generation. 3021 02:50:28.760 --> 02:50:31.040 My parents are boomers and I love them dearly. But 3022 02:50:32.479 --> 02:50:36.680 it's uh, the way that boomer politicians have been doing 3023 02:50:36.760 --> 02:50:39.000 business for the last few decades have gotten us to 3024 02:50:39.040 --> 02:50:41.360 the position that we're in now. I don't think that 3025 02:50:41.559 --> 02:50:43.200 more of the same as what we need right now. 3026 02:50:43.719 --> 02:50:47.639 They went from good times and they made it bad times. 3027 02:50:48.360 --> 02:50:51.680 Uh, Like the Great Dusty Road said, they might wait, 3028 02:50:52.040 --> 02:50:53.520 you know what I meant even gonna I ain't even 3029 02:50:53.520 --> 02:50:54.159 gonna busher it. 3030 02:50:54.360 --> 02:50:55.719 But what he was saying is that you got the 3031 02:50:55.760 --> 02:50:58.159 good times, make the make make hard times. 3032 02:50:58.200 --> 02:51:00.639 The hard times will make the men because good man, 3033 02:51:01.520 --> 02:51:06.639 and how the cycle repeats and everything, and you should. 3034 02:51:07.040 --> 02:51:09.120 Yeah, I'll send you the promo of it later. 3035 02:51:09.280 --> 02:51:12.719 But mhm, it's just like we gotta pick ourselves up 3036 02:51:12.760 --> 02:51:15.440 and what happened to the the the American spirit of 3037 02:51:15.520 --> 02:51:17.719 fuck it?

I've talked about him 3041 02:51:25.040 --> 02:51:27.879 multiple times. I've told you some of the stuff he 3042 02:51:28.079 --> 02:51:28.360 that I. 3043 02:51:28.399 --> 02:51:28.840 Grew up with. 3044 02:51:29.559 --> 02:51:34.959 He always said, son, you're American. Yes you're Southern, but 3045 02:51:35.000 --> 02:51:37.840 you're an American. You would love the American And I 3046 02:51:37.959 --> 02:51:43.760 love my country because of my papa and my uncle 3047 02:51:43.840 --> 02:51:48.520 doing all my family members that were either the family 3048 02:51:48.600 --> 02:51:50.639 thing was either you go in the military or you 3049 02:51:50.719 --> 02:51:51.520 become a convict. 3050 02:51:52.200 --> 02:51:56.680 Is about how it went, and sometimes you did both. 3051 02:51:58.600 --> 02:52:03.600 I mean, yeah, it's just it's kind of sad that 3052 02:52:03.719 --> 02:52:05.959 how people are going, like, let's not even give us 3053 02:52:05.959 --> 02:52:08.840 shit about our own country. Let's talk shit by our flag, 3054 02:52:09.040 --> 02:52:12.079 and but let's throw up other countries flags and say 3055 02:52:12.120 --> 02:52:14.200 we stand with them, when you wouldn't even help the 3056 02:52:14.239 --> 02:52:17.360 American bleeding light next to you, but you want to 3057 02:52:17.440 --> 02:52:19.440 run to people that don't give a fuck value. 3058 02:52:20.120 --> 02:52:23.799 I mean, I'm just saying that we have the resources, 3059 02:52:24.360 --> 02:52:28.200 we have the money, we have the manpower, we have 3060 02:52:28.319 --> 02:52:32.920 the engineering capabilities to do incredible things in this country. 3061 02:52:33.239 --> 02:52:35.879 That's why so many countries around the world have suffered 3062 02:52:35.920 --> 02:52:39.719 massive brain drains and all of their you know, best 3063 02:52:39.799 --> 02:52:43.079 and brightest have come to America. Right and now America 3064 02:52:43.120 --> 02:52:46.360 has suffered brain drains in certain regards. Yes, but we 3065 02:52:46.559 --> 02:52:50.520 still have a solid platform to build off of and 3066 02:52:51.159 --> 02:52:57.000 re instill an American Golden Age as far as engineering, architecture, science, medicine, 3067 02:52:57.079 --> 02:52:59.520 all these things America can do that we can spearhead 3068 02:52:59.559 --> 02:53:02.639 that I wish we would. I wish we would. And 3069 02:53:03.479 --> 02:53:05.879 it's not going to be because of a certain president, 3070 02:53:06.399 --> 02:53:10.360 a certain administration, a certain political party. If that is 3071 02:53:10.479 --> 02:53:12.600 going to take place, it is going to be a 3072 02:53:12.760 --> 02:53:16.239 cultural shift within America. I for one, hope that we 3073 02:53:16.319 --> 02:53:19.360 can see that cultural shift happen within our lifetime. I 3074 02:53:19.479 --> 02:53:22.159 hope that we don't suffer the other part of that 3075 02:53:22.280 --> 02:53:25.639 adage where weak men create hard times and then hard 3076 02:53:25.719 --> 02:53:29.479 times create hard men. I'm hoping that possibly we could 3077 02:53:29.479 --> 02:53:32.719 break that chain, right, And I know I'm getting high 3078 02:53:32.760 --> 02:53:35.040 as hell on hopium on this one because I also 3079 02:53:35.120 --> 02:53:38.120 don't have much faith in humanity. But if we are 3080 02:53:38.319 --> 02:53:41.879 to not repeat the faults of the past, then we 3081 02:53:42.079 --> 02:53:46.319 must be the ones to make that change. Unfortunately, I 3082 02:53:46.399 --> 02:53:51.879 think most Americans', most Americans of both parties, of all 3083 02:53:52.200 --> 02:53:55.760 backgrounds and everything, are so wrapped up in their own 3084 02:53:55.799 --> 02:53:58.120 shit that they can't see the bigger picture. It's a 3085 02:53:58.200 --> 02:54:00.840 perspective thing, and I get that of it from time 3086 02:54:00.879 --> 02:54:02.680 to time as well. So I mean, I don't know, 3087 02:54:04.040 --> 02:54:07.079 all right, all these things being said, I just got 3088 02:54:07.120 --> 02:54:09.399 through the chat and uh yeah, I think we are 3089 02:54:09.440 --> 02:54:12.280 getting ready to wrap this one up once again. I 3090 02:54:12.360 --> 02:54:15.040 want to thank everybody for joining me on this edition 3091 02:54:15.239 --> 02:54:19.079 of The Cajun Night Live once again shameless plug.
