Now there was a good cult member whenever 5 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.640 we were over at bro Grove a few days ago, 6 00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.560 over the over this past weekend, that was like, all right, 7 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.799 I need to know what's the next episode going to be. 8 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.159 I want a little insider information. And I said that 9 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.280 it was actually going to be this episode. But then, 10 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:13.719 of course the whole Iran and Israel and America debacle 11 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.680 just had to go down over the weekend. And these 12 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.359 things always happened whenever we're on trips. You ever noticed that, Like, yeah, 13 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.959 we when we went to South Carolina, it was the 14 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.719 Chinese spy balloon, And now we got to Florida and 15 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.000 it's like, oh, yeah, you know, bombs are being dropped 16 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.239 and Iran It's like what the fuck? 17 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:29.480 Man? 18 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.920 Yeah, a lot of people were of the belief that 19 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.480 we were about to into World War three. I'd said, no, 20 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.400 there's no way we're actually about to do that. I 21 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.400 didn't think America was going to get involved at all. 22 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:43.000 I understand why they dropped ordinance on three specific locations 23 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:43.480 and all that. 24 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.680 Yeah, yeah, cool, cool, now it's being called the twelve 25 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.200 Day War, and I'm like, big dog, that's a really 26 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.799 stupid name for this, because they're trying to make it 27 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.000 sound like the Six Day War, when there was like 28 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.920 four or five countries that all invaded Israel at the 29 00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.400 same time. This was not that. 30 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.000 This uns have you been keeping up with it over 31 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.079 the past, like twelve hours, eighteen hours? 32 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.879 Yes, apparently Iran broke the ceasefire agreement. Shocker. Who could 33 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.840 have ever predicted that Iran would go back on their word? 34 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:18.199 And like, so, okay, cool, cool, Yeah, So I mean, yeah, 35 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.520 it seemed like they were coming to a ceasefire and 36 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.520 there was gonna be a peace agreement gonna be happening 37 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:23.879 with that. 38 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.199 But we'll see. 39 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.639 I mean, these kind of things, it's almost like, you know, 40 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.000 whenever you're in the conspiracy world, dude, you know, nothing 41 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.879 is ever easy, you know what I'm saying, Like nothing's 42 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.599 ever simple, Like nothing's ever like, oh, they found peace 43 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.719 and now they they love each other and they're singing 44 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.159 kumbay A by the fire. It's like, I don't know 45 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.199 if it's gonna happen that quick. Unfortunately, it's probably gonna 46 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.120 have to get a little bit dirtier before that happens. 47 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.400 Typically that's how it goes down. 48 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.759 And everybody was so worried because they shot at one 49 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.039 of our bases in the UAE writ in Qatar, and 50 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:57.560 they're like, uh. 51 00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.599 Oh man, America, they hit one of our bases. But 52 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.919 but dude, they did. They didn't come close. They shot 53 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.240 like eighteen shots. 54 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.680 All of our ground to air defenses shot down the 55 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.560 missiles before they got closed except for one, right, and 56 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.000 Iran was like, ah, one of them got through your 57 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.240 impenetrable force. But it's like, yeah, but the reason why 58 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.039 we didn't shoot is because it went and hit. 59 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:18.840 The dirt nothing. 60 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.120 It was so far off that they like, we didn't 61 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.479 send up ordinance to stop it because you suck at 62 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.400 your job, but we're really good at ours. 63 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:27.560 Yeah, I don't. 64 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.400 I'm still currently as a time of recording of the 65 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.960 belief that America is not gonna get actually involved in 66 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:33.639 this situation. 67 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:36.719 Could be wrong, could be wrong. 68 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.800 But I also even if America does get involved, this 69 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.599 is not gonna be a World War three. 70 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.599 This will be an open and closed conversation. 71 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:49.000 That being said, this episode, we are shooting on a Tuesday, 72 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.719 and this isn't coming out until Friday, so a lot 73 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.000 of them could happen until then, just as it did yesterday. 74 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.599 Right. I guess we'll see what happens. I don't know, 75 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.479 just man, I don't know. I don't know. 76 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.439 It's hard to remain up to the minute whenever your 77 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.560 show's got to go out a couple of days in advance, 78 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:05.840 you know. 79 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:06.280 What I mean. 80 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.360 I'm not typically wrong on things like this, but I 81 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:14.120 mean I am not a one percent you know guy here, 82 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.399 And I know if everybody says that if Jacob was 83 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:17.959 a FED, he's got to be the worst one ever. 84 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:19.639 Because I wasn't read in on this one. 85 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.399 I didn't know that we were about to send ground 86 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:23.600 penetrators to Iran. 87 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:24.920 I was out of the loop on that. 88 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.759 So yeah, yeah, that is uh, that is need to 89 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.240 know information, and they just, you know, your FEDS above 90 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.959 you just thought that that wasn't really required for you 91 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:37.240 to know that kind of shit. 92 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.720 If I am a FED, I'm probably the shit bag 93 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.560 fed that nobody actually let's read in on the conversations, 94 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:43.639 which that makes sense. 95 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.360 To although I mean you have long said that I 96 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.879 am your handler, and I called this one out before 97 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.519 you did, and so maybe I was a little bit 98 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:52.600 more red in than you were. 99 00:04:52.839 --> 00:05:00.720 I mean, who's the fed?

Why you decided to listen to this specific episode. 131 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.600 I know not everybody has time to listen to every 132 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.680 damn episode we put out because there's fourteen fifteen shows 133 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.240 a week going on right now, and I mean, it's 134 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.920 it's an insane thing that we got going on over here, 135 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.399 but it's a one big, beautiful family, and everybody's purpose 136 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.000 is to open up that third eye. That is what 137 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.560 we were put on this planet to do. We do 138 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.720 believe that it was God's will, it was the Universe's will, 139 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:39.720 it was the sources will. 140 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.439 It might just be my higher self will. 141 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.000 We don't know where it all comes from, to be 142 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.000 honest with you, but I mean we feel inspired to 143 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.199 do so and we love doing it. So today we're 144 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.959 gonna be talking about Hollywood's hidden hand movies that were 145 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.439 funded by the US government. 146 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:57.759 Indeed. 147 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.480 Okay, yeah, baby, So so we're tarting a little propaganda. 148 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.279 We're talking a little symbolism in the background that people 149 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:06.079 may not have seen. 150 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.959 What exactly do you mean here. 151 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.759 Well, we had just got done talking about just a 152 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.879 couple of weeks ago about Tavistock and a lot of 153 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.759 and that's the British version of propaganda on the US, 154 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.639 which you know, you had the British invasion and all 155 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:20.839 that kind of stuff, but. 156 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.680 That's not a hippie wave and all these things. 157 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.319 Yeah, and it wasn't just the Brits that were doing it. 158 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.279 I mean we had Sri doing it over here for 159 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.439 the longest time too. They were working hand in hand 160 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.120 with that, amongst other you know, think tanks. But this 161 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.399 one is more going to be government and military based. 162 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.120 As far as like, dude, I didn't know that the 163 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:48.000 government has a certain amount of money that they can 164 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.920 spend as far as their propagation in Hollywood. I mean 165 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.720 I kind of figured so like we always thought, you know, 166 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.199 like it it's one thing to to see a little 167 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.480 bit of propaganda and you're like, oh man, that director, 168 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.000 what direction. Was he trying to point this show or 169 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.959 this movie or whatever in But sometimes it is so 170 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.959 easy to spot that the government had some kind of 171 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.560 hand within the script writing and everything of movies. 172 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:15.879 Right. 173 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.959 I could believe this because we talked about this too 174 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.800 with the NFL. For instance, when they the DoD started 175 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.079 paying the NFL to make sure that the star spangled 176 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.120 banner was shown, that the players had to stand with 177 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.200 their helmet on their left tip and their hand on 178 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.559 their heart in the line and the whole nine That 179 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.000 wasn't a law until I want to say it was 180 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.720 like a law. It wasn't a rule in the NFL. 181 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.519 Wasn't like till two thousand and three. There was a 182 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.159 couple of years after nine to eleven and they were 183 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.720 trying to draw more on the recruiting side of things, 184 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.159 so they made the NFL go this direction. And I mean, yes, 185 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.600 they always played the national anthem before football game, that's 186 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.120 never been a question, but the optics of it being 187 00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:58.519 what it is today. 188 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.759 The DoD paid the NF fell for that. 189 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.200 So when you look at Hollywood movies especially, yeah, I 190 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.200 could believe that the DoD has some money to throw 191 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:08.039 Hollywood's way. 192 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:12.000 Yeah, Now, it's not you know, confirmed, the amount that 193 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.600 they have to spend. It's possible that there's no cap 194 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.519 to it. But it is interesting because a lot of 195 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:21.000 these movies are extremely patriotic in nature. Now you would say, well, 196 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.519 why would you need to program the American minds to 197 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.399 be patriotic? Everybody should be patriotic. We should all live 198 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.480 the country that we are, love the country that we 199 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.960 live in. But just in case there are a couple 200 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.600 of stragglers out there that hate this country and will 201 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.159 do whatever they can to bad mouth this country, We're 202 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.480 gonna make sure we propagandize within military movies. It's mainly 203 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:46.120 military movies if I'm being real, but you know, and 204 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.399 it could be like recruitment style things like we talked 205 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.679 about like Top Gun before, about how Top Gun was 206 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.919 one of the main recruiters for the Navy at the time, 207 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.120 which came out in eighty six. Right, it works, It 208 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.679 absolutely works. I mean yeah it did, because what was 209 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:04.159 Saving Private Ryan? Your movie? 210 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:04.399 Right? 211 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.639 Saving Private Ryan was mine? Absolutely and uh Maverick that movie. 212 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.879 So the recruiting numbers for the military have been down 213 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.799 for quite some time. And I don't mean just like 214 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.000 a few thousand I mean a lot of thousands that 215 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.240 they were pretty much banking on these people joining and 216 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.399 they were not there except for the Navy in the 217 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.799 past couple of years. Why you might ask, because the 218 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.679 Maverick movie came out and the Navy actually saw not 219 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:30.519 a skyrocket by any means. 220 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.360 But they met their quota. No other branch did. 221 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.399 Very interesting that came out around the time Tom Cruise 222 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.159 let out another banger of a movie. 223 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:39.039 Yeah. 224 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.039 Yeah, it's all very specific, you know, kind of plotted, 225 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:45.240 kind of timing that we're talking about here as far 226 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:47.279 as some of these movies go. And we're gonna get 227 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.519 into it's not just the movies either, is that the 228 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.559 the government and the military have certain actors that they 229 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.759 like to call on more so than other actors, you know, 230 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.440 a Ford, to push forth some kind of propaganda. It's 231 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.960 not always military, but today's today's episode is going to 232 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.360 be mainly military movies that were funded by the government, uh, 233 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.120 to propagandize and to basically make everybody patriotic and and 234 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.720 look at the military and the police and the first 235 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.200 responders and all that stuff in a positive light. So 236 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.000 I would understand that, I do get why they would 237 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.600 do it. But it's not that cut and dry as 238 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.759 nothing ever is. So we're gonnare's government funding going to it. 239 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.399 There's going to be buffoonery and but fuckery along the way. 240 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.799 It's just how it goes, exactly, And it's all about 241 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.080 where the money's being funded. 242 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:37.480 Right. 243 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.919 So you had, uh, what was that that program that 244 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.600 they that all of the stores and all the companies 245 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.240 had to run, uh to make sure that they were 246 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.200 like supportive of gay pride and uh oh DEI yeah, 247 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.320 all the DEI the yeah, all of that they And then. 248 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.279 I'm glad that that's so antiquated that you forgot what 249 00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.360 the acronym was. And it's only been a few months 250 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.639 since that's been off the books. But like that that 251 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.759 thing that used to be, Yeah, I'm happy about that. 252 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.440 Because it was ridiculous. I mean it was so. 253 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.879 It not genuine, you know what I mean, Like it 254 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.080 was corporate and it's corporate support you know. Damn well, 255 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.080 Target doesn't give a shit if if you tuck your 256 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.120 wiener somewhere, Like they're just like, no, we need money, 257 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:24.720 you know, and look if we got to do this, 258 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.399 maybe it's a law that we have to do this. 259 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.840 And so what's interesting is is that you see now 260 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.279 during Pride month, which isn't it this month it's about 261 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.679 to end. I have not seen any corporate logo with 262 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.879 a rainbow on it, have you. 263 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.559 Nope, because it's no longer required. And that's saving companies money. 264 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:43.759 Yep, yep. 265 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.519 And and all of those corporations that you thought were 266 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:49.600 so supportive, No, they were doing it because they had to. 267 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.240 They didn't have any other choice, Like Budweiser almost went 268 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.159 under because of it, right, And and that's and that's 269 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.200 a shame. You know, we all want we all want, 270 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:01.519 like the the companies and corporations that we love and support, 271 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:03.519 we all want them to be able to kick back. 272 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.600 But unfortunately they're gonna get fined if they don't. And 273 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.000 it's they're just they kind of go along to get along. 274 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.360 That's just the corporate reality we live in. But thank 275 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.879 god they ended up repealing all that nonsense. And now 276 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.799 I can, you know, go on Amazon without there being 277 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.360 some kind of rainbow flag. Nothing against the rainbow flag 278 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:21.960 at all. I don't care you want to be gay, whatever, 279 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.080 But what I have an issue with is whenever they 280 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.000 got the light pink and the light blue on there I'm. 281 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.320 Of the trans flag that thing there, it's weird. 282 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.159 Well it's not, it's just trans It's like pushing it 283 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.480 towards kids, you know what I mean, Like that's what 284 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:33.720 I do. 285 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:35.240 I will never agree with that. 286 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:36.720 Dude, Budweiser. 287 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:40.519 The only thing that saved them as a company is 288 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.840 Shane Gillison Post Malone. Let's just be real here, Okay, 289 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.080 let's just lay all cards on the table. They went 290 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.399 and played a really stupid game and they won a 291 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.000 really stupid prize. They had to get the two biggest 292 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.360 Quintessential bros Ever to save their brand, and honestly, they 293 00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.600 were the only two that could have done it. 294 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.200 Yeah yeah, well, I mean they they tried their very best. 295 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.039 And what's funny is as soon as they repealed that, 296 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.000 they went back to like, you know, like the the 297 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.480 Man's Beer and you know, you got the horses and 298 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.639 the carriage and it's all set in the fucking Western times, 299 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.399 and it's like, okay, here we go. 300 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.279 Now we're back to regular Budweiser. 301 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.480 Yeah, they act like we forgot. They act like we forgot. 302 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.480 I'm sorry if you're drinking a bud light, Like there's 303 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.559 there's easier ways to come out of the closet. 304 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:27.120 You're still you're. 305 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.720 Still if you like bud light by curious, I mean, hey, 306 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:32.919 that's fine. I'm not here to judge you. You like 307 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:34.879 to put things where they don't like to do you, brother, 308 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:38.480 that's fine. But like there is non gay beer out there. 309 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.360 You know what I'm saying. It's called Miller High Life. 310 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:41.480 Oh Guinness. 311 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.559 Yeah, that's just me shout out to Yingling the fucking a. Yes, 312 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.159 they never went that way. But it's kind of like, 313 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.519 you know, like you always say, it's like you build 314 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:53.200 a thousand bridges, but then you but then you drink 315 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:53.840 one bud light. 316 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.200 You know, what are you going to be known as? 317 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.159 I'm sorry, it's not my fault that you told the world. 318 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.840 This is what it is so ridiculous. All right, let's 319 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:05.399 get back to it. So today we're going to be 320 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.399 diving into a hidden alliance between Hollywood and the US government. 321 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.960 Through declassified documents and the Freedom of Information Act requests, 322 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.559 we now know that the Pentagon, the CIA, and other 323 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:21.600 agencies have directly influenced hundreds of films and TV shows, 324 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:26.879 not just helping with logistics, but literally rewriting scripts, controlling narratives, 325 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.159 and embedding propaganda from fighter jets to superheroes. The US 326 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.799 government has been shaping your perception one movie at a time. Now, 327 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.000 let's dig into the titles that you know and love 328 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.679 and uncover the programming hidden beneath the plot. So there 329 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.039 is documented evidence that the US government, particularly through the 330 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:49.799 Department of Defense or DoD and the CIA, has funded, influenced, 331 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.320 or collaborated on a large number of movies and TV 332 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.320 shows to help shape public perception and promote pro government 333 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:01.000 or pro military narratives. This isn't just a conspiracy theory. 334 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:06.159 It's been confirmed through Foyer requests and scholarly research. So 335 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:08.360 where does it all start? 336 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:08.799 Now? 337 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.360 A lot of people it's it's hard to keep track 338 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.320 of it. But you can kind of look back at 339 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.120 a lot of the older movies and be like, oh, okay, 340 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.759 you know, because you see, you know, how they're able, 341 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:21.879 how you're able to see kind of through the ship 342 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.960 for example. Right Like for example, let's say I don't 343 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.240 know what's your favorite director. 344 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.480 I really like Scorsese. 345 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.200 Let's say Scorsese he wants to do something with military 346 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.840 in it, but you know, him just being a director 347 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.159 or an actor, he doesn't have access to tanks or 348 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.039 drones and you know, uh, military equipment and military vehicles 349 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.600 and maybe uh just whatever certain you know, access to 350 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.320 certain bases and whatnot. Well, then what he'll do is 351 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.960 he'll he'll go to the d D or uh, you know, 352 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:01.240 other branches of the government and he'll say, all right, look, 353 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:05.400 I really need some funding for this, and you'll if 354 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.599 you'll let me use some of your equipment in the military, 355 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:10.920 then I'll let you, you know, diddle the script a 356 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.599 little bit, right, And so that's kind of what you 357 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.400 what the telltale of how to look for it is 358 00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:20.759 whenever you see fucking blue angels in the sky, it's like, oh, okay, 359 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.400 the government had a hand in writing this script in 360 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:24.559 a sense, right. 361 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:26.559 Yeah, yeah, I could see this one hundred percent. 362 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.880 So the Hollywood and the Pentagon formalized their relationship in 363 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.839 nineteen forty seven, and this is allegedly it was around 364 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.640 that year. It's probably happening before that, but are allegedly 365 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:39.039 around that. 366 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.960 You're interesting the year of Roswell, Right, it is, But 367 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.079 it also kind of makes sense, right, World War Two 368 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.319 gets wrapped up, all the boys are home, and now 369 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.720 all of these actors that were serving are now back 370 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.799 in Hollywood. And this is also why I have such 371 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.319 an issue with the Duke Old John Wayne. Okay, I 372 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:57.880 used to love the guy until I found out he 373 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.440 was a draft dodger. And the reason why he dodged 374 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.799 the draft was because at that time he was an 375 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.200 up and coming star and if he wouldn't have gotten drafted, 376 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.000 basically all of the big names went to war, he 377 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.519 was able to land big, big roles with no competition. Right, 378 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.480 So cut to nineteen forty seven, All of those actors 379 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.440 that were all fighting and shit are now back home, 380 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.440 so it kind of makes sense that there'd be a 381 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.359 little bit of some crossover. Not to mention, the great 382 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.559 World War two just ended, bro, we can make all 383 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.519 kinds of movies to show our boys and show the heroics, 384 00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.440 which was real. I'm not denying this, but like, it 385 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:37.119 would make sense to me that the DoD would want 386 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.279 things to be done in a certain way and cast 387 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:41.559 in a certain light and with a certain flavor on 388 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.799 it to make America even more proud beating their chest 389 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.200 than ever before. It perfectly lines up to me. 390 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.559 Now flip the script literally on that and look at 391 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:51.559 it from a different angle. 392 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.079 Was he a draft Dodger. 393 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.720 I'm sure he probably didn't want to go, and you know, 394 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.240 he probably went and you know, maybe asked the government 395 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.079 to Hey, you know what, Look, I can be better 396 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:03.839 on screen than I will in the battlefield. So let 397 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.480 me just stay here and propagandaze for you a little bit. 398 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.039 All eyes are going to be on me. I'm one 399 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.559 of the biggest fucking names in all of Hollywood right now. 400 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:12.720 And not just John Waite, many other actors probably did 401 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.279 this as well. But I would imagine that there was 402 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.640 probably some kind of agreement that was had right there, 403 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.920 because I mean, yeah, I'm not I'm not, you know, 404 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:26.319 trying to degrade a singular you know, army soldier or whatever, 405 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:28.519 you know, branch that he would have gotten in. But 406 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.279 I mean, if you look at it, the propaganda in 407 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.359 the influence that he would have over millions of people 408 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.279 as opposed to you know, maybe taking out one guy 409 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.359 on the battlefield, if even that right, So you could 410 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.319 almost imagine that they made some kind of deal. That's 411 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.440 how it plays out in my mind, especially after looking 412 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:47.920 through all this. 413 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:49.359 It's possible. 414 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:51.839 I've looked into the records of him because I didn't 415 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.000 believe he was really a draft dodger. It was like 416 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:59.200 some bullshit bone spur conversation that he he got the 417 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.799 paper pushed through because he had the right person to 418 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.039 sign off on it, so to speak. But I mean 419 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:06.519 even still, you had like Jimmy Stewart, and you had 420 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.240 these you had big names that were in all of 421 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:12.920 the Westerns at the time who flew and dropped bombs 422 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.680 on Nazi Germany and stuff like that. Like, yeah, they 423 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.519 weren't like frontline in the trenches. A lot of them were, 424 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.279 you know, college educated. So they went officer route and 425 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:22.599 they went pilot and they went all. 426 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:23.039 Of these things. 427 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:27.079 But like, yeah, yeah, it's uh kind of shitty how 428 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:27.519 he did it. 429 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:29.799 Let me ask you because and this isn't a movie 430 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.240 actor by any means, but this is somebody who you know, 431 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.559 is very highly praised within the NFL, especially in Arizona. 432 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:38.839 Berger. 433 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.200 No, what are your thoughts on Pat Tillman. 434 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.720 That's the one that's the one that died overseas? Right, Yeah, 435 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:47.319 I think by friendly fire? Actually, massive piece of shit, 436 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.599 That's what I am so, And this isn't I wasn't there. 437 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.119 I do not know, okay, And I'm not trying to 438 00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:58.839 besmirch the man's legacy. But from what I was told 439 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.759 from people that were not necessarily with that deployment but 440 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:07.000 around the area at that time, Okay, he did walk 441 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.079 away from millions of dollars of a contract to serve 442 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.240 his nation when he was called upon, and I am 443 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:16.680 not gonna shit on that whatsoever. From what I was 444 00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:21.720 given to understand, he also was very loud about the 445 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:24.640 fact that he walked away from millions of dollars to 446 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.440 serve his country, and he wanted everyone to know about it. 447 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.720 Him being a celebrity also kind of put crosshairs on him. 448 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.119 And I'm not sure of the ins and outs of 449 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.279 the day where he actually was killed by you. 450 00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.359 Know, blue on blue or green on green, however you 451 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:41.920 want to call it. 452 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.960 I was given the understanding that that wasn't as much 453 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.759 of an accident as what the news would have you believe, 454 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:54.519 because he was also that guy, mister fucking cat America, 455 00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:57.160 who was going to go in and get back, but 456 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.480 he was taking unnecessary risks that were put the rest 457 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.839 of his squad and platoon in harm's way because he 458 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:09.119 fell in love with his own legend and some some 459 00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.920 people would say that one of his h enlisted men 460 00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.000 were scared for their life if this guy continued to 461 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:20.559 lead them, so they removed him from uh the battlefield. 462 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:21.559 I don't know. 463 00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:23.680 I don't know if that's true or if it really 464 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.359 was like a complete accidental ind or a negligent discharge 465 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:31.039 if you will, and uh in just the worst possible scenario. 466 00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:34.119 Ever, I can only go off of reports that I heard. 467 00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.960 Friendly fire is considered neglible negligible dish discharge. 468 00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:41.519 Damn, I can't say that negligible. 469 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.319 Damn, you fucking me up to nd. Okay, negligent discharge. 470 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.200 Basically, what that means is you fire when you weren't 471 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.039 supposed to fire. INDI's can happen anywhere. Anytime you watch 472 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:54.720 some uh some video of a guy cleaning his gun 473 00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:56.440 and it goes off because I didn't know there was 474 00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.160 a round in it. 475 00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.279 But that that's called n D, right. 476 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.119 So typically indies get shot into the wall and they 477 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.200 scare the shit out of you. And sometimes you'll see 478 00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.480 someone shoot themselves in the leg on accident or something. 479 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.400 But in the very worst case scenario, yes, an INDY 480 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.720 can result in someone's death. I understand this, and very 481 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.599 possibly it was something like that. I don't know the 482 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.240 whole story, but from what I was given to understand 483 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:22.880 by guys who were in and around the area, they 484 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.920 were basically saying, They're like, yeah, he needed to go, 485 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.200 and they weren't willing to sell out their boy. But 486 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.160 they also were saying that he wasn't missed by anybody 487 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.200 in his unit when he got got So I don't know. 488 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.039 Oh that's unfortunate. Well either way, all right, let's get 489 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.519 back to it. So in nineteen forty seven, the US 490 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:45.880 government officially created the Office of Public Information for the 491 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.680 Pentagon and later the CIA's Office of Public Affairs, which 492 00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:53.519 liaises directly with filmmakers. From then on, any film that 493 00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:57.920 wanted to use military equipment, personnel, or sets had to 494 00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.240 submit scripts for approval and accept edits in exchange for support. 495 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.000 So what was the first movie ever funded by the 496 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.319 US government? That would be actually a very interesting one, 497 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.599 very hotly debated kind of movie, especially for the time 498 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.599 that it came out. But it was called The Birth 499 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:19.400 of a Nation. You know this movie, right? 500 00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:20.519 I do. 501 00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:23.160 Indeed for anybody who doesn't know or do you have 502 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:24.640 a little thing to read about it, yeah. 503 00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:26.480 I have a little thing, but you're aware of what 504 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:27.319 it is, right. 505 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:31.640 Yeah, it is actually believe or not. The first film 506 00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:33.559 ever played in the White House. 507 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.359 President at the time said it was the best movie 508 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:38.559 he'd ever seen, never mind the fact that it was 509 00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:39.920 the only movie he'd ever seen. 510 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:44.119 And you there's no two ways about this. 511 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:47.039 This is a movie about the foundation of the Ku 512 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:47.799 Klux Klan. 513 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:49.279 That's right. 514 00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:53.200 I'm trying to figure out which president that was, Woodrow Wilson. Yeah, okay, 515 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.480 makes sense because he wasn't the best right. 516 00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.279 Kind of a piece of shit. Yeah. 517 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.200 So yeah, Now, this Birth of a Nation and it 518 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.480 came out in nineteen fifteen. It says it's unofficially backed 519 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.559 with federal military resources. But if you're looking at you know, 520 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:09.880 the writing on the wall, writing on the wall, as 521 00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:12.680 far as you know how to be able to determine 522 00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.839 if it's military funded or not, it's it's pretty obvious. 523 00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.519 But it was directed by this guy named D. W. 524 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:19.160 Griffith. 525 00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:23.119 This was the first feature length blockbuster and a tool 526 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:28.400 of a nationalistic propaganda. The US military loaned cannons, uniforms, 527 00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:32.000 and soldiers for the Civil War battle scenes. The purpose, 528 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.319 which is quite interesting, was to promote national unity after 529 00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:39.279 the Civil War but it ended up. It ended up 530 00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:43.799 glorifying the Ku Klux Klan and demonizing Black Americans. The 531 00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:47.599 film is considered the origin of Hollywood propaganda. It created 532 00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:52.079 the blueprint use epic cinema, emotional hooks, and spectacle to 533 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:53.519 shape public opinion. 534 00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:55.880 Wait wait, wait wait, I'm sorry. I'm gonna need you 535 00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:57.799 to pump the brakes on that one, big hoss. 536 00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:02.440 Okay, it was filmed to do what purpose? The purpose 537 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:03.480 I'll read it again. 538 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.319 Just that one part because it good. 539 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:10.400 Yeah, yeah, to promote national unity after the Civil War. 540 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.720 That was the original purpose. But it ended up gloryway, 541 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:19.359 but it ended up glorifying, glorifying the KKK, and demonizing 542 00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:20.160 Black Americans. 543 00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:21.640 Have you ever seen the movie? 544 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.799 No, it is like for the little clips and shit 545 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:27.680 of it, but no, I've never seen the whole movie. 546 00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:32.759 For the principle of education, it is worth watching it is. 547 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.359 This was completely done to recruit more men into the 548 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:42.440 Ku Klux Klan. There's no section of this movie where 549 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.119 you at any point, maybe in the very beginning, where 550 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.519 you see the Congress passes and you see black men 551 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:51.039 shaking hands proud that they are now going to. 552 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.839 Be considered citizens. That is a five second clip where 553 00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:58.720 maybe you could argue it was to give national pride. 554 00:26:59.279 --> 00:26:59.960 Then you pan. 555 00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:02.799 Up up and see the white men pissed off that 556 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:05.440 that just happened. And then from that point onward it 557 00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.119 was a recruiting tool strictly to get dudes to join 558 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:12.400 the Klan. There no, not even one section of this 559 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:16.200 after that one spot was meant to give any kind 560 00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:17.200 of national pride. 561 00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.599 That's that's fucking retarded. 562 00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:23.279 I'm trying to find out right now. As far as 563 00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:28.960 oh shocker, Woodrow Wilson, yes, he was a Democrat, of course, 564 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.240 of course, because they always say, well, they always say that, 565 00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.839 you know, it was essentially the Democrats that created the KKK. 566 00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:36.799 Right, very very true. 567 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:42.160 Literally, this Democrat president in nineteen fifteen played this fucking 568 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.519 movie in the White House and it was funded, It 569 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.359 had government backing to be able to push propaganda. And 570 00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:51.880 it's almost like, because here's the thing, you can't just 571 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.640 like say, let's say you're the director of that movie, 572 00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:55.440 Old d W. 573 00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:57.000 Griffith. You can't just say, all. 574 00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:58.799 Right, you know, look if you want to add in 575 00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:01.079 a couple of things whatever, and then you know, whenever 576 00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:02.480 the movie's out, you'll be able to see it. No, 577 00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:04.960 like you have to go from start to finish with 578 00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:08.279 the entire script and the entire you know, full length 579 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.480 of the movie and describe it to the government. According 580 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.160 to this, they have to see it first before it's 581 00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:17.400 ever released if it's government backed. And so what Jrow 582 00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:21.119 Wilson and the government completely approved of every scene in 583 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:21.680 that movie. 584 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.160 I will say it was a silent film. 585 00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:26.319 So as far as the script goes, it was like 586 00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:28.000 the words on screen, then it would cut to a 587 00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:28.480 clip of. 588 00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.640 Actually just ree but you know what I'm trying to say, 589 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.119 everything that transpired in the movie, every scene and all that. 590 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:35.000 But yeah, nineteen fifteen. 591 00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.680 Yeah, the president being like, this is the greatest movie 592 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.680 I've ever seen in my life. And it's like, minister President, 593 00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:44.319 you've never seen a movie in your life. But okay, cool, dope, 594 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:47.200 And this is a yeah. No, this was not in 595 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.160 any way, shape or form to give pride of the 596 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:52.559 nation of America. 597 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.759 It was the birth of a clan nation. Yeah, yeah, 598 00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.200 for sure. 599 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:00.160 So it is the origin of Hollywood propaganda and it 600 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.599 just so happened to coincide with government backing. 601 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:05.559 So if you're ever trying. 602 00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:07.799 To wonder, like, oh my god, who are these satanic, 603 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.440 fucking weirdos that are running Hollywood?

And you're probably aware of this movie. 673 00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:24.799 It's called Wings, and it was the first official DoD collaboration, 674 00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:27.960 so the other one was unofficial. This is the first 675 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:33.680 official collaborative effort between Hollywood and the DoD. It was 676 00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:38.119 a silent film about World War One pilots and it 677 00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.759 was funded and produced with US Army Air Corps support 678 00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.720 via planes and bases and personnel. The purpose of the 679 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.440 movie was to boost military aviation's image and encourage enlistment 680 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.839 between wars. So that's all we got on that one 681 00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:55.880 so far. We're gonna get a little bit more in 682 00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.880 depth for some of these movies, but this is kind 683 00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:59.559 of just an overview to start. 684 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:01.240 Wings is a cool one. 685 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:03.359 Whenever you look at some of the pilots and what 686 00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.279 they were doing, it wasn't all done with the screen 687 00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:08.199 behind them. Some of this was like death defying stunts 688 00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:12.199 that was being done by stuntmen that like. Especially you 689 00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.719 look back at the old silent films of stunt that 690 00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:19.239 were happening. It's insane and you understand why stuntman died 691 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.239 so frequently. Yeah, it's a it's one of those is 692 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:24.360 why not a lot of people these days probably never 693 00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:25.199 seen the movie. 694 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:27.079 I recommend it.

So yeah, you could see 698 00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:45.639 how this was absolutely pushing forth some kind of agenda, right. 699 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:48.920 Oh, absolutely, dude. I mean World War One pilots, we're 700 00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:51.039 talking biplanes like that was. 701 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.559 Those dudes are out of the fucking mind.

But also like they 704 00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:59.239 got a couple screws loose. 705 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:01.000 Yeah, that's a million airhard type of shit. 706 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.000 Yeah, And like these dudes are flying and essentially what 707 00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.280 you could call he like souped up hot rod with 708 00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.719 wings on it like that.

One 713 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:19.719 of them isn't enough yet. They haven't gotten that fast yet. 714 00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.119 And they're just doing that with a machine gun, and 715 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.880 they're just like, all right, we'll just we'll just fight 716 00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:26.719 it out in the sky and see which one's got 717 00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:29.760 better control of his plane.

They do a pretty good job of showing 720 00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:39.039 how these planes actually maneuvered in combat scenarios. 721 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:40.880 It is fucking wild. 722 00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:45.480 Yeah, and speaking of Amelia Airhart and almost reminds me 723 00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:47.280 not in a negative kind of way, but just a 724 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:50.920 woman flying a plane, you dude, And this is this 725 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:52.239 might have to be a show that we do one 726 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.880 of these days. But you've heard of Helen Keller flying 727 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:56.039 a fucking plane. 728 00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:59.079 The blind and death chick from the Civil War. 729 00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:02.559 She flew a fucking plane allegedly, are. 730 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:03.960 We talking of? Like she had her hand on the 731 00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:06.159 stick for a few seconds and then she let go. 732 00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:10.480 Dumb, deaf and blind Helen Keller in nineteen forty six 733 00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:14.599 piloted a plane for twenty minutes while traveling from Rome 734 00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:19.000 to Paris with her interpreter, Polly Thompson relaying the pilot's 735 00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.920 instructions to her. Despite being deaf and blind, Keller demonstrated 736 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.440 remarkable control and calmness while flying. 737 00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.400 Because she had no concept of what would happen if 738 00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:32.400 she knows though she didn't know what that was, like, Okay, yup, wow, 739 00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:33.960 I'm like, I don't know. 740 00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:35.840 She might not have been deaf and blind. 741 00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:38.039 Now, dude, you know what I'm saying, because what was 742 00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:42.639 the what's the fucking the musician, Not Ray Charles, the 743 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:44.400 other one that's that's blind. 744 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:47.480 Oh, Ray Charles ain't blind. Oh I tell about Stevie Wonder. 745 00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:49.679 Stevie Wonder. Yeah the shit. 746 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.440 Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of speculation that he's probably 747 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:54.400 not blind. And it's kind of all for show. So 748 00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:56.880 it almost makes me wonder if Helen Keller was on 749 00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:58.960 some shit like that. I don't know, you know, actually, 750 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.800 back whenever I was in elementary school, we had Helen 751 00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:07.079 Keller's sister or mom or something show up to our 752 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:08.480 class and she was. 753 00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:11.440 Having to be like her great granddaughter or something or like. 754 00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:15.199 Niece is somebody related to her? I don't know, but anyway, Yeah, 755 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:16.960 actually I think you're right. I think it was her 756 00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:21.440 niece or something like that. But but she came because 757 00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:23.480 I guess she wrote a book about Helen Keller or whatever. 758 00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:25.400 And she was talking about, you know, all the things 759 00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:27.719 about why you should love each other as you would 760 00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.039 like to an elementary school and she was telling us 761 00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:34.320 all about her, and I was like, dude, fucking that's 762 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:34.960 that's kind of wild. 763 00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:35.920 I don't remember her. 764 00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.760 Saying that Helen Keller flew an airplane, but also I 765 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.119 was like ten whenever, you know, or eight or something 766 00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:42.840 like that whenever she came. 767 00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.800 So really, we just imagine the pilot being like, all right, 768 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:47.719 we're gonna get this bitch so high up in the 769 00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.039 air that there's no way that she could like fuck 770 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:53.280 this up and just let her kind of we we 771 00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:55.519 just kind of do whatever for a little bit, never 772 00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:57.079 gonna land it, and there you go. 773 00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:01.159 Anybody could fly, even Helen Keller could fly. Yeah I could. 774 00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:02.920 I could see that for the propaganda. 775 00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:06.280 Next thing, you know, like her instructor is like, all right, Helen, 776 00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.639 just just grab the wheel rad here and just just 777 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:13.000 coast a little bit. And she's like, I ain't even blind, motherfucker, 778 00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:14.599 we knowing barrel rolls, you know. 779 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:16.840 It just starts going crazy up there. 780 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:19.320 And the guy's like, oh my god, I'm I'm gonna 781 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.800 die now, all because I was manipulated and think you 782 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:24.199 were a blind old bitch. Turns out she wasn't. But 783 00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:26.360 it's still interesting that she was flying a plane though. 784 00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:29.039 I'd never heard of that one. That's fucking crazy. 785 00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:33.599 Yeah, dude, all right, So here's a list of notable movies, 786 00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:35.159 not all of We're not going to talk about every 787 00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.199 single one of them, because there's literally been tens of 788 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.559 thousands of movies that were funded by the government, but 789 00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:41.719 some of the are more notable ones we're going to 790 00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:44.639 be bringing up that were either funded, supported, or heavily 791 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:49.480 influenced by the US government, especially the DoD. So the 792 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:51.760 first list is going to be military and do OD 793 00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:57.199 supported films. These films receive funding, equipment, script approval, or 794 00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:03.400 logistical support from the Pentagon. Specific first one, nineteen eighty six, 795 00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:06.719 Top Gun comes out right absolutely. It was co produced 796 00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:11.039 with US Navy support, and recruitment soared after its release. 797 00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:13.920 And we're going to my buddies used to work with. 798 00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:16.559 We're actually on the plane or in the on the 799 00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:19.119 ship in one of the opening scenes like of the 800 00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.159 movie when danger Zone is playing and they're like, you know, 801 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.039 when he's taken off, you could see him for a 802 00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:25.639 split second. 803 00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:26.760 He was one of the flight crew. 804 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:27.840 Oh that's sick. 805 00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:30.039 And he was actually in the Navy at that time 806 00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.840 because they used a real naval ship for that scene. 807 00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:35.440 I was an extra in twenty one Jump Street. Anybody 808 00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.039 can see me on there for like five seconds. I'm 809 00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:40.360 hanging out with this little black shauty and that's my 810 00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:43.199 girlfriend for the movie. And I got her up against 811 00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:45.800 the locker and I'm just like, you know, risen her up, dude, 812 00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:48.559 And and you could see it literally for five seconds 813 00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:51.199 in the beginning of the movie Whenever Chanting Long here 814 00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.800 and you know, Jonah Hill had fucking his whole eminem phase. 815 00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:55.599 It was pretty fun. 816 00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:58.039 I needed you to show me that one of these days. 817 00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.239 I've heard you say this, I've actually never seen you 818 00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:02.199 in it. I've never looked. So we're gonna have to 819 00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:03.079 figure this out one day. 820 00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:04.960 Its back whenever I had a baby face. I couldn't 821 00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:08.519 even grow facial hair yet, dude, I couldn't even swoop. No, 822 00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:11.760 I think I had short hair, but yeah, this was dude. 823 00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:13.719 I couldn't even grow a beard until I was like 824 00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:14.280 twenty five. 825 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:17.039 Dude. Yeah, same pretty much. 826 00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:20.199 But anyhow, so we're kind of just going to burn 827 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:21.800 through this list and then we're gonna go a little 828 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:24.400 bit more in depth here in a minute. So first off, 829 00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:26.920 Top Gun. The next one Top Gun Maverick, which came 830 00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:28.800 out in twenty twenty two. These are in no specific 831 00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.519 order as far as you know the release. 832 00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:30.880 Dates or anything. 833 00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:35.800 So once again with Maverick, they used navy jets and 834 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:39.559 carriers and the script reviewed and it was reviewed and 835 00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:43.360 influenced by the DoD obviously. The next one, probably not 836 00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:46.239 going to surprise you, is Transformers. All the movies of 837 00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:51.559 Transformers yep. So Transformers first one came out in two 838 00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.800 thousand and seven, they're still making them, and the Pentagon 839 00:40:54.840 --> 00:41:00.639 in military hardware provided in exchange for script oversight. So interesting. 840 00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:03.440 Next one being iron Man, the first one in two 841 00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:06.599 thousand and eight, and the more I looked into it, 842 00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:09.920 the first one they absolutely approved. The second one, I 843 00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:12.000 guess they started wanting to do their own thing and 844 00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:18.320 not want so much military whatever messing around with as 845 00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:20.559 far as the script goes. And then they eventually ended 846 00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:24.960 up losing the military support and stuff like that, which 847 00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:28.039 I think that they probably overall, just Disney and Marvel 848 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:32.039 altogether probably still collectively get that funding. But as for 849 00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:34.880 Iron Man, I from what I read, they eventually ended 850 00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:37.960 up going off script, and yeah, they ended. 851 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.400 Up making sense Stark Industries being the military supplier that 852 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:44.760 it was in the movie. In the first one like 853 00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:46.880 that was that was the push, you know what I mean? 854 00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:49.480 The second one you had kind of something to be 855 00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:52.199 said for that third one that wasn't even a conversation, 856 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:53.239 so I could understand this. 857 00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:54.320 Yeah. 858 00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:57.480 So in Iron Man, the first one, it says it 859 00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:01.559 received military assistance, though later Marvel had tensions with the 860 00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:06.199 DoD for sequels. As I was saying, next one, you 861 00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.360 got Captain Marvel, which one of the worst Marvel movies 862 00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:09.880 of all time. 863 00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:12.519 It makes sense because wasn't she a pilot? 864 00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:13.480 Yeah? 865 00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:16.760 Yeah, so Captain Marvel came out in twenty nineteen. It 866 00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:20.000 was produced in cooperation with the US Air Force as 867 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:21.639 a recruitment tool for women. 868 00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:22.719 How about that? 869 00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:26.920 Yeah, which, again, the actual Captain Marvel was a guy. 870 00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.719 Captain Marvel didn't become a girl until he died and 871 00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:33.440 his wife took over. But it was well after he 872 00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:35.239 had already made it what it was. If we're going 873 00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:37.239 to go off to the comic books, but don't let 874 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:38.679 Disney find that out. 875 00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:39.480 Yeah. 876 00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:42.280 You know what's funny too, is you know how we 877 00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.000 always like bring up about how, you know, they made 878 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.559 Little Mermaid black or they made fucking snow white whatever, 879 00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.320 she was right, and it's like, why are they doing that. 880 00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.519 Why are they doing that? It seems almost like they're 881 00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:57.000 just they know that they're going to cause a lot 882 00:42:57.039 --> 00:42:59.639 of you know, tension in between races and stuff like that. 883 00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:02.400 You know what I just read And I may have 884 00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:06.000 said this already, but I can't remember. Fucking So, your 885 00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:09.199 boy Chadwick Boseman, who's the original black panther, right, he 886 00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:12.239 died and he actually knew whenever he was filming that 887 00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:14.079 movie that he only had a little bit longer to go. 888 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:16.480 So poor guy. He was like, I'm I'm gonna die 889 00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:18.599 after this, and everybody thought that he was joking or 890 00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:19.760 like just being extra. 891 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:21.880 And then you know, they talk so much about him 892 00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:24.239 losing weight and how he looked this way, and then 893 00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:27.079 later they realize like, oh god, because he was dying 894 00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:27.639 the whole time. 895 00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:29.639 It's like, yeah, don't you feel shitty? 896 00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:31.760 I know, dude, I love that guy too.

I think he ends 911 00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:21.920 up like fighting and defeating the original Black Panther, And 912 00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:24.000 so then whenever he goes to take his mask off, 913 00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:26.239 he's a white guy with blonde hair and really white skin, 914 00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:29.800 and everybody's taken my surprise and everything. So look after that, 915 00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:31.920 I'm sure there's gonna be some controversy with that for sure. 916 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:35.000 Oh now we're gonna stick to the comic book script, Disney, 917 00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:36.599 Now we're gonna do that. 918 00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:39.519 Yeah, what the fuck ever? Yeah? 919 00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:39.920 Yeah? 920 00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:42.639 So uh yeah, you got Captain Marvel trying to recruit 921 00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:47.360 women to the Air Force. Then Blackhawk Down came out 922 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:49.679 in two thousand and one, heavily supported by the DoD, 923 00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:53.960 aimed to sanitize a controversial military operation. 924 00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:57.599 Which one was that controversial operation. 925 00:44:57.599 --> 00:44:59.960 That would be the US's involvement in some. 926 00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:04.360 So backstory to that one, and we're not gonna spend 927 00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:07.320 too much time talking about it. Somalia had some shit 928 00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:11.159 going on, okay, they which they always do, they currently 929 00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:14.599 do as a matter of fact, and the local warlords 930 00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:18.559 started using hunger as a weapon against his people. We 931 00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:21.320 had you and peacekeepers that were going in. Well, first off, 932 00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:23.800 it was humanitarian aid groups that were going in, like 933 00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:28.119 delivering food to the masses. Then these food shipments were 934 00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:31.440 being intercepted by the warlord's goons and he was withholding 935 00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:34.639 it strictly to starve out the population into submission. 936 00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.639 So then you and peace forces went in. The blue hats. 937 00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:40.559 They went in and they were trying to establish some 938 00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:44.519 sort of peace in the region. Didn't go well, so 939 00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:47.119 then they sent in the United States Marines. Peace was 940 00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:51.079 established within a few weeks, like because Marines only do 941 00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:55.519 one thing, really, really well, and that's what happened. The 942 00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:58.480 Marines were pulled back, and then you had an army 943 00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:03.159 unit that was there to assist in the UN peacekeeping operations. 944 00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:07.599 They went out one day just as a patrol and 945 00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:09.599 they weren't supposed to be gone long. Hell, half the 946 00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:11.800 guys didn't even have all of their plates in their 947 00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:15.000 plate carriers, Like they didn't expect to take fire because 948 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:19.199 like what idiot would shoot at US soldiers like real talk. 949 00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:21.639 Then a black Hawk went down because it got hit 950 00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:23.920 with the lucky hit from an RPG, And it was 951 00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:28.159 an entire it was one snafoo after another in a 952 00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:31.639 rescue operation. And yeah, it was a fucking it's an 953 00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:34.280 insane movie, all of it based on a true story. 954 00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.800 The guys who were there actually will go and talk 955 00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:40.679 about this later on in interviews and things. Two of 956 00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:44.320 them I saw went back to is it alac Bar 957 00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:49.960 Bizarre basically the big shopping bazar where like the real 958 00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:53.639 firefight took place. They went back there and realized where 959 00:46:53.639 --> 00:46:55.639 they were. You can still see the bullet strafs in 960 00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:57.360 the buildings from where they were there. 961 00:46:58.440 --> 00:46:59.079 All the way through. 962 00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:01.000 They ended up having to run what was called the 963 00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:04.000 Mogadishu Mile because there were no more vics that were 964 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:05.800 able to come get them, and these dudes with all 965 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:08.639 their gears shot up and everything else, had to run 966 00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:12.000 on foot back to safety from the fucking mob. 967 00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:13.760 It's an insane story. 968 00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:19.159 Wow, All right, Well that's the DoD aiming to sanitize 969 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:21.960 a controversial military operation.

Nextly, 1583 01:13:59.279 --> 01:14:01.640 we have a couple of TV shows which are going 1584 01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:06.119 to be very obvious TV shows with US government involvement. 1585 01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:12.840 That would be NCIS, JAG, Hawaii five O twenty four, Homeland, 1586 01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:17.640 and Jack Ryan all received military or intelligence community support, 1587 01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:21.600 as they say, along with the Agency, which was produced 1588 01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:25.840 in direct collaboration with the CIA. And then a movie 1589 01:14:26.000 --> 01:14:29.079 or a show called Alias. It says it received consultation 1590 01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:32.800 from intelligence professionals. So anytime you're getting any kind of 1591 01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:37.319 consultation or collaboration with military, you know that it's going 1592 01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:39.079 to be funded and you know that the script is 1593 01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:43.880 going to be tweaked at the bare minimum. The Department 1594 01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:47.600 of Defense Entertainment Media Office is what it's called. How 1595 01:14:47.600 --> 01:14:52.840 about that about the DoD Entertainment Office. It reviews scripts 1596 01:14:52.880 --> 01:14:56.520 and only supports productions that portray the US military in 1597 01:14:56.600 --> 01:15:00.319 a positive light. If filmmakers agree to script change, they 1598 01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:05.199 gain access to gear, locations, personnel, and sometimes funding or grants. 1599 01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:08.840 So the CIA has its own Office of Public Affairs, 1600 01:15:08.840 --> 01:15:13.199 which liais is with Hollywood for PR and recruitment purposes. 1601 01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:16.359 So that's kind of what we're talking about here. 1602 01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:18.439 Here we go. 1603 01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:21.560 Okay, So as far as like a FOYA document, so 1604 01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:27.159 freedom of information documents, over eighteen hundred films and TV 1605 01:15:27.239 --> 01:15:31.159 shows have been influenced by the Pentagon or CIA directly. 1606 01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:34.239 Eighteen hundred, dude. 1607 01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:36.560 I could believe that.

You know what I'm saying? 1610 01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:43.560 In points? 1611 01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.000 So there's gonna be some sort of like a flux 1612 01:15:46.039 --> 01:15:48.920 there or are they calling all of in CIS one 1613 01:15:48.960 --> 01:15:51.239 of the eighteen hundred or all of the JAG you 1614 01:15:51.279 --> 01:15:51.640 know what I mean? 1615 01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:52.960 Yeah, I'm I don't know. 1616 01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:55.680 It doesn't specify, but I kind of thought that it 1617 01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:57.119 was talking about the show as a whole. 1618 01:15:57.159 --> 01:16:00.239 But eighteen hundred that's a lot, so I don't know. 1619 01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:02.640 It might might be talking about if we're talking about 1620 01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:05.560 movies from way back in the silent film era, Birth 1621 01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:08.840 of a Nation to now, like it's very possible, they 1622 01:16:08.840 --> 01:16:13.279 do mean eighteen hundred, like proper movies and television shows 1623 01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:15.600 in totality, Like it's very possible. 1624 01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:18.680 There was also a book that was written by Tom 1625 01:16:18.800 --> 01:16:23.159 Secker and Matthew Alford that dives deep into, you know, 1626 01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:28.399 all the government funded kind of cinema called National Security 1627 01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:31.600 Cinema for anybody that wants a deeper perspective in on 1628 01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:32.159 a lot of this. 1629 01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:35.000 So yeah, go check that one out. 1630 01:16:35.760 --> 01:16:40.880 So yeah, and it actually there are official DoD slash 1631 01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:46.159 Hollywood cooperation logs, and some of it was actually leaked 1632 01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:50.279 via emails through Sony hacks and a bunch of other 1633 01:16:50.399 --> 01:16:54.880 like big corporate hacks that revealed backroom deals with government agencies. 1634 01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:58.079 So even the ones that weren't on the books, it 1635 01:16:58.119 --> 01:17:01.479 was still like these these leaked emails showed even more. 1636 01:17:02.319 --> 01:17:05.680 You say it was national security what national security cinema? 1637 01:17:06.960 --> 01:17:10.760 Cinema Okay, I'm looking this up now, I've never heard 1638 01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:12.600 of that, but okay, share the screen. 1639 01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:13.920 You see a picture of that bad boy. 1640 01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:18.000 Uh well, actually, I have an interview with Matthew Alford 1641 01:17:18.119 --> 01:17:20.880 on National Security Cinema. It's two minutes and forty three 1642 01:17:20.920 --> 01:17:22.760 seconds long. If you want to watch this, let's do it, 1643 01:17:23.479 --> 01:17:27.119 all right, go ahead and let me share that screen again. 1644 01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:28.760 All the good cult members will want to see what 1645 01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:30.720 we were talking about rather than just hear about it. 1646 01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:33.039 Come check us out on Patreon. 1647 01:17:33.399 --> 01:17:36.800 First, let's go for this turn of the twenty first century. 1648 01:17:36.880 --> 01:17:39.520 You know, if you look at say IMDb, it looked 1649 01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:42.039 like they've been involved in sort of three things like 1650 01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:44.680 The Recruit, which was an al Pacino movie that kind 1651 01:17:44.720 --> 01:17:47.239 of sank into the water a bit, and a. 1652 01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:50.039 Couple of other things. But actually we found out just two. 1653 01:17:50.039 --> 01:17:52.239 Or three years ago, just because the CIA just started 1654 01:17:52.279 --> 01:17:54.960 to slightly open up a little chink, and then we 1655 01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:58.119 realized that they were involved in whole series like twenty 1656 01:17:58.159 --> 01:18:02.039 four and Alias, and they were involved in many more films, 1657 01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:04.399 and we realized they were involved in Charlie Wilson's War, 1658 01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:08.239 and a lot of these things were people kind of 1659 01:18:08.680 --> 01:18:11.359 suspected maybe that there was, but there was nothing ever 1660 01:18:11.359 --> 01:18:13.720 written down on paper. And even now with the CIA, 1661 01:18:13.800 --> 01:18:16.880 because it's much more closed, we don't. 1662 01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:18.880 See the scripts. 1663 01:18:18.439 --> 01:18:20.920 And the annotations and the memos and the letters going 1664 01:18:20.960 --> 01:18:23.000 back and forth. We would like you to change this, this, 1665 01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:25.000 and this. It seems to be done a lot more 1666 01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:25.600 on the slide. 1667 01:18:25.720 --> 01:18:29.479 What you're saying is that there's active script amendment from 1668 01:18:29.560 --> 01:18:35.640 on high to ultimately push a certain narrative which ultimately 1669 01:18:35.800 --> 01:18:37.359 fits in with American foreign policy. 1670 01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:40.119 Still, yeah, yeah, all the time. 1671 01:18:40.000 --> 01:18:43.039 And more so now because in fact, that process has 1672 01:18:43.079 --> 01:18:46.520 accelerated considerably in the last sort of ten or fifteen years. 1673 01:18:46.520 --> 01:18:51.359 Why because the explosion of TV channels, the military in 1674 01:18:51.359 --> 01:18:54.560 particular has said, let's get involved in TV much more so. 1675 01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:56.800 They get involved in all sorts of things, including cookery 1676 01:18:56.840 --> 01:18:59.520 shows and all sorts. Every time that there's a military 1677 01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:03.279 person who's baking a cake or flying off into space 1678 01:19:03.359 --> 01:19:05.279 or whatever it is, the military is going to be 1679 01:19:05.279 --> 01:19:07.560 the people behind that, and they are going to want 1680 01:19:07.600 --> 01:19:10.439 to have right to amend the script. The point is 1681 01:19:10.760 --> 01:19:13.720 it doesn't necessarily matter too much if it occasionally happens 1682 01:19:13.760 --> 01:19:16.439 this sort of thing, but it's the fact that it's systematic. 1683 01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:18.560 If you look at this what we could call a. 1684 01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:23.800 Subgenre of action films, or a kind of genre to 1685 01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:25.680 the side, if you like, we could call it national 1686 01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:29.560 security cinema, And you're talking about several hundred products which 1687 01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:32.520 are very prominent about the way that we view the 1688 01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:36.199 entire geopolitical world and the way that we view our leaders. 1689 01:19:36.600 --> 01:19:40.119 National security cinema comprises all of these movies, and also 1690 01:19:40.199 --> 01:19:41.960 you could extend it to TV if you wanted, and 1691 01:19:42.039 --> 01:19:45.279 to video games of course, and they're usually worked on 1692 01:19:45.520 --> 01:19:49.840 and edited by these quite secretive military organizations. And they're 1693 01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:52.840 also promoting this line, which is that United States Western 1694 01:19:52.880 --> 01:19:55.680 foreign policy is good, that there are official. 1695 01:19:55.399 --> 01:19:57.119 Enemies that we should destroy. 1696 01:19:57.600 --> 01:20:01.199 A lot of the time. They've been ara Muslim enemies, 1697 01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:02.880 not all the time, and there has been a small 1698 01:20:02.920 --> 01:20:05.279 improvement on that over the last sort of fifteen years 1699 01:20:05.359 --> 01:20:07.920 or so, because they don't want to start a civilizational 1700 01:20:08.039 --> 01:20:11.560 war and they don't want blood on the streets, particularly 1701 01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:13.880 between Christians and Muslims. 1702 01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:17.039 Okay, wow, And it made me think too, like if 1703 01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:20.159 you remember, especially when we were growing up, you know, 1704 01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:24.079 it wasn't so much you know, Muslim countries that we 1705 01:20:24.079 --> 01:20:25.239 were at war against. 1706 01:20:24.920 --> 01:20:27.199 It was always the fucking Russians. 1707 01:20:27.279 --> 01:20:30.720 You know, so to that point, Actually, I just looked 1708 01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:32.680 up what Charlie Wilson's war was. We don't have to 1709 01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:33.520 look at that, honestly. 1710 01:20:33.640 --> 01:20:37.359 So all right, do you ever watched the old Claymation 1711 01:20:37.720 --> 01:20:40.960 Christmas time movies that our parents grew up watching, Root 1712 01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:41.239 Off the. 1713 01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:43.920 Red Nose Reindeer. Yeah, Frosty the Snowman, all that shit. 1714 01:20:44.920 --> 01:20:47.720 So with that, do you remember the Jack Frost movie 1715 01:20:48.439 --> 01:20:52.159 and there was the bad guy with his robot army. 1716 01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:56.039 He was Russian. Yeah, he was a Russian guy. Why 1717 01:20:56.039 --> 01:20:57.319 would he in our way? 1718 01:20:57.560 --> 01:21:01.319 Maybe currently we could see or were the evil Russian, 1719 01:21:01.359 --> 01:21:03.680 But back when that came out, dude, that was cold warshit. 1720 01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:05.600 There was a reason why that was done that way. 1721 01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:08.520 Same thing with the Santa Claus coming to town. The 1722 01:21:08.560 --> 01:21:12.399 burger Meister meister Berger was a German mayor that was 1723 01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:14.439 so mean to these kids and all this, and they 1724 01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:17.880 were even wearing stripe pajamas for fuck's sake. But like, 1725 01:21:18.399 --> 01:21:22.039 it didn't resonate with our generation of being a child, 1726 01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:25.039 but to our parents' generation that was intended for Cold 1727 01:21:25.079 --> 01:21:28.199 War style Russian Germany. They were clearly the bad guys 1728 01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:28.760 of all things. 1729 01:21:28.760 --> 01:21:31.119 Ever, well, and you see now they're starting to pull 1730 01:21:31.159 --> 01:21:34.560 away from that whole Russia bad guy kind of situation, 1731 01:21:34.960 --> 01:21:38.119 and maybe maybe not entirely, but makes me think. I 1732 01:21:38.159 --> 01:21:39.680 just went to go see a couple weeks ago the 1733 01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:43.359 new Leland, Stitch and uh Old Boy wasn't Russian anymore. 1734 01:21:43.359 --> 01:21:44.960 It was fucking Zach Galafanakis. 1735 01:21:45.479 --> 01:21:46.680 I know, I fucking hated that. 1736 01:21:46.840 --> 01:21:49.159 But if you think about it, if you think about it, 1737 01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:52.239 if they're not trying to push that Russia is necessarily 1738 01:21:52.359 --> 01:21:56.159 the worst enemy right now, then yeah, you would take 1739 01:21:56.239 --> 01:21:59.199 that out right Like so it almost makes you think that, 1740 01:21:59.319 --> 01:22:03.079 like maybe there was some kind of military propagation within 1741 01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:04.720 even Leelo and Stitch. 1742 01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:08.840 Right there really is to your point, right, So, like 1743 01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:11.760 you said, there was in the past few decades, a 1744 01:22:11.800 --> 01:22:14.479 lot of the bad guys in the movies have been 1745 01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:17.800 Muslim or at least from an Islamic state in some way, 1746 01:22:17.800 --> 01:22:20.479 shape or form, and they have kind of pulled away 1747 01:22:20.479 --> 01:22:22.920 from that. But it's not just in America. Other countries 1748 01:22:22.920 --> 01:22:25.880 have done very similar things, and they didn't want to 1749 01:22:25.880 --> 01:22:29.039 start a civilization war where it was straight and not 1750 01:22:29.079 --> 01:22:32.880 just necessarily Christians versus Muslims, but most of the West 1751 01:22:33.039 --> 01:22:36.319 versus everything of the Arab nations, Like they didn't want 1752 01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:38.239 it to go to that level. But at the same time, 1753 01:22:38.680 --> 01:22:42.279 any war movie that was based from anything associated with 1754 01:22:42.279 --> 01:22:45.239 the global War on Terror, this is why it was 1755 01:22:45.319 --> 01:22:48.079 that way. But then at the same time, we look 1756 01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:51.119 at Rambo. There's a really good case study for this. Okay, 1757 01:22:51.319 --> 01:22:53.760 there's been what five Rambo movies that have come out, 1758 01:22:53.920 --> 01:22:57.760 something like that. First one it was just Rambo versus 1759 01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:00.520 the police and the National Guard, right, just a Vietnam 1760 01:23:00.560 --> 01:23:01.199 soldier kind. 1761 01:23:01.079 --> 01:23:03.359 Of dealing with some PTSD on some shit. Okay. 1762 01:23:03.880 --> 01:23:07.319 The next one, Rambo two, he's going back to Vietnam 1763 01:23:07.359 --> 01:23:09.800 to save the POW's and there's a bunch of movies 1764 01:23:09.840 --> 01:23:11.760 where they're like going in to save our boys and 1765 01:23:11.800 --> 01:23:12.439 all of these things. 1766 01:23:12.439 --> 01:23:13.079 All right, cool. 1767 01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:17.560 Third Rambo he's in Afghanistan and he's fighting with the 1768 01:23:17.640 --> 01:23:21.479 muja Hadeen against the Soviets. This is for the optics 1769 01:23:21.520 --> 01:23:23.800 of it. Now cut to the very last Rambo that 1770 01:23:23.920 --> 01:23:26.760 just came out. They could have put them anywhere. They 1771 01:23:26.760 --> 01:23:28.479 could have put him in the Middle East, they could 1772 01:23:28.520 --> 01:23:31.640 have put them in France, for fuck's sake. They put 1773 01:23:31.680 --> 01:23:35.239 them back in Southeast Asia on purpose, because if they're 1774 01:23:35.239 --> 01:23:37.239 going to make someone look like the bad guy, they 1775 01:23:37.279 --> 01:23:40.159 want to make sure it's not feeding into any current 1776 01:23:40.239 --> 01:23:43.199 fire that's going on. He went to memr He went 1777 01:23:43.239 --> 01:23:46.880 to where the what used to be Burma, where they 1778 01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:48.720 currently are growing most of the world's opium. 1779 01:23:48.760 --> 01:23:51.439 I might throw out they send them there for that. 1780 01:23:52.119 --> 01:23:53.800 You see what I'm saying that all is a part 1781 01:23:53.960 --> 01:23:54.640 of a plan. 1782 01:23:55.039 --> 01:23:57.359 Well, and this is a part of just the mass 1783 01:23:58.039 --> 01:24:01.600 hypnosis of the population. And we've brought up about how 1784 01:24:02.159 --> 01:24:05.359 they were trying to see how how fast somebody would 1785 01:24:05.359 --> 01:24:07.880 slip into a trance like state whenever they're watching TV. 1786 01:24:07.960 --> 01:24:09.600 They hooked up a bunch of nodes to a bunch 1787 01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:13.520 of these people, right, and nobody could last longer than 1788 01:24:13.560 --> 01:24:17.079 sixty seconds before slipping into a beta trance, which is 1789 01:24:17.199 --> 01:24:19.399 just a light trance. But the longer you're sitting in 1790 01:24:19.399 --> 01:24:21.680 front of it, the you know, you ever notice like 1791 01:24:21.760 --> 01:24:24.399 a lot of people start to get really tired when 1792 01:24:24.439 --> 01:24:27.039 they're watching a movie, especially if it's like maybe it's 1793 01:24:27.119 --> 01:24:29.520 maybe I don't know, maybe it's kind of boring or whatever, 1794 01:24:29.600 --> 01:24:32.520 but a lot of people start to get really tired. Well, 1795 01:24:32.520 --> 01:24:35.239 what comes right before you're about to fall asleep is 1796 01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:38.119 known as the Theta state of mind, which is literally 1797 01:24:38.199 --> 01:24:40.720 it only happens naturally twice a day right before you 1798 01:24:40.760 --> 01:24:42.319 fall asleep, and as soon as you wake up, you're 1799 01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:43.920 in a little bit of a haze. One foot in 1800 01:24:43.960 --> 01:24:46.000 the dream world, one foot in the real world. Well, 1801 01:24:46.119 --> 01:24:48.880 if you're in front of a TV, and think about 1802 01:24:48.920 --> 01:24:51.199 how many people fall asleep with the TV on. Right, 1803 01:24:51.520 --> 01:24:54.199 If you're in front of a TV and you're going 1804 01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:56.760 into this trance like state. Well, now, once you're in 1805 01:24:56.800 --> 01:24:59.960 that theta or even beta, but especially the theta mindset. 1806 01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:02.840 But that's actually what most little kids up until they're 1807 01:25:02.840 --> 01:25:06.119 seven years old are naturally in. They haven't learned to 1808 01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:10.079 get into the higher you know, states of consciousness such 1809 01:25:10.079 --> 01:25:12.720 as beta and and well such as al alpha and 1810 01:25:12.800 --> 01:25:16.720 beta beta. Sorry, so beta is natural. Alpha is the 1811 01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:19.079 light trance. I got that mixed up, but you know, 1812 01:25:19.159 --> 01:25:22.079 and that's this is part of the hypnosis. And so 1813 01:25:22.159 --> 01:25:24.840 whenever you're watching a movie, you're going into that trance. 1814 01:25:24.880 --> 01:25:27.640 You're a lot more suggestive, and that's the big deal. 1815 01:25:27.680 --> 01:25:29.359 That's where they're trying to get you. They're trying to 1816 01:25:29.399 --> 01:25:32.279 get you to be as suggestive as humanly possible, as 1817 01:25:32.319 --> 01:25:35.520 if you actually are under hypnosis. And of course the 1818 01:25:35.560 --> 01:25:38.319 military would want to diddle your brain a little bit 1819 01:25:38.359 --> 01:25:42.560 whenever you're in some kind of slight trance, right, absolutely, So, 1820 01:25:43.199 --> 01:25:45.159 now we're going to dive a little bit deeper into 1821 01:25:45.159 --> 01:25:47.479 the some of the movies that we had named, first 1822 01:25:47.479 --> 01:25:50.399 one being Top Gun in nineteen eighty six. The branches 1823 01:25:50.399 --> 01:25:52.760 that were involved were the US Navy and the Department 1824 01:25:52.800 --> 01:25:55.680 of Defense. So Top Gun, it says, was a turning 1825 01:25:55.720 --> 01:25:59.239 point for military propaganda in film. The Navy offered full 1826 01:25:59.279 --> 01:26:04.720 cooperation jets, aircraft, carriers and all on the condition that 1827 01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:09.880 the script glorified naval aviation and remove any unfavorable content. 1828 01:26:10.199 --> 01:26:13.520 The recruitment booths were set up in theaters after the film. 1829 01:26:13.840 --> 01:26:17.159 Holy shit, did you know that? Say that again, brother, 1830 01:26:17.359 --> 01:26:20.880 The recruitment booths were set up in theaters for people 1831 01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:22.359 that got done watching the film. 1832 01:26:22.920 --> 01:26:26.359 I didn't know that, but I could believe that, oh man. 1833 01:26:27.520 --> 01:26:31.199 And of course in Listman Sword, the film sold war 1834 01:26:31.359 --> 01:26:36.479 as an adrenaline filled lifestyle, complete with homo erotic undertones 1835 01:26:36.520 --> 01:26:41.039 disguised as camaraderie and thrilling dog fights, backed by Kenny Loggins, 1836 01:26:41.359 --> 01:26:42.439 this was no accident. 1837 01:26:42.880 --> 01:26:45.880 God, erotic shit, that was the Nobody can watch that 1838 01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:48.800 volleyball scene without being like, bro, why, like you didn't 1839 01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:50.960 need to do it like this, but they did. 1840 01:26:51.520 --> 01:26:52.359 Yeah. Yeah. 1841 01:26:52.399 --> 01:26:55.880 It was almost reminiscent of Brohemian Grove. If you were there, 1842 01:26:56.000 --> 01:26:57.760 you know, you know what we're talking about. 1843 01:26:58.039 --> 01:27:00.840 Jesus fuck. That was yeah, am moving on. 1844 01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:05.560 It says this was no accident. The Pentagon rewrote parts 1845 01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:07.720 of the script and the love interest had to be 1846 01:27:07.840 --> 01:27:12.399 changed from a Navy officer to a civilian. Viewers subconsciously 1847 01:27:12.439 --> 01:27:15.960 absorbed a message the military is badass and joining makes 1848 01:27:15.960 --> 01:27:19.079 you a hero. The phrase I feel the need the 1849 01:27:19.119 --> 01:27:22.479 need for speed became more than just a catchphrase. It 1850 01:27:22.520 --> 01:27:24.520 became a subtle call to service. 1851 01:27:25.640 --> 01:27:31.279 Yeah wow, dude, oh man. 1852 01:27:31.000 --> 01:27:35.079 We're really fucking breaking it open in this one. So yeah, 1853 01:27:35.159 --> 01:27:36.800 that's Top Gun. That's the first one came out in 1854 01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:39.600 eighty six. The next one, Top Gun Maverick, that came 1855 01:27:39.640 --> 01:27:42.159 out in twenty twenty two. The branches involved were the same, 1856 01:27:42.199 --> 01:27:45.359 with the US Navy and the DoD three decades later. 1857 01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:48.479 Top Gun Maverick wasn't just a sequel. It was a 1858 01:27:48.520 --> 01:27:53.000 modern military recruitment commercial. The Navy once again gave filmmakers 1859 01:27:53.039 --> 01:27:57.239 access to FA eighteen super hornets, real naval bases, and 1860 01:27:57.279 --> 01:27:59.520 even aircraft carriers in exchange. 1861 01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:01.079 The script underwent. 1862 01:28:00.760 --> 01:28:04.119 Extensive review by the Department of Defense to ensure a 1863 01:28:04.199 --> 01:28:07.800 positive portrayal of military life and leadership. Do you think 1864 01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:10.880 about the money you need? Like think about it, Like, 1865 01:28:11.279 --> 01:28:14.079 how much money do you think the military spent in 1866 01:28:14.199 --> 01:28:17.439 order just to have these people in fighter jets and 1867 01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:21.399 fucking actual aircraft carriers and everything. Like how much money 1868 01:28:21.399 --> 01:28:23.079 do you think that would cost if you were to 1869 01:28:23.159 --> 01:28:26.760 pay the military to use that kind of shit? I mean, 1870 01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:30.199 if you're gonna be in a flight simulator and that's 1871 01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:32.880 what we're doing here and get some CGI in it 1872 01:28:32.920 --> 01:28:35.279 and everything, and basically you're like, listen, we just need 1873 01:28:35.720 --> 01:28:38.159 some camera set up outside of one of your jets 1874 01:28:38.199 --> 01:28:41.279 that's parked, and we need a helmet and the mask 1875 01:28:41.319 --> 01:28:43.840 in the flight suit, and that's all we need. You 1876 01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:46.680 could probably get out of it pretty pretty easily as 1877 01:28:46.680 --> 01:28:47.159 far as the. 1878 01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:48.279 Finibals are concerned. 1879 01:28:48.880 --> 01:28:51.079 For you to go up in the air and like 1880 01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:53.479 have because you can't see their faces unless like when 1881 01:28:53.479 --> 01:28:55.359 he unhooked his mask and was talking to his boy 1882 01:28:55.439 --> 01:28:57.920 or whatever, which is bullshit, I might add, but whatever, 1883 01:28:58.479 --> 01:29:00.399 But they did that so that you could see as face. 1884 01:29:01.039 --> 01:29:04.119 That's another thing they do in movies a lot, even 1885 01:29:04.119 --> 01:29:07.119 in medieval movies. You see these times with these guys 1886 01:29:07.359 --> 01:29:09.279 in the middle of pitch combat will take off their 1887 01:29:09.319 --> 01:29:11.920 helmet and just so you could see their hair, and. 1888 01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:14.960 All like, no, the fuck you would not. Homeboy's got 1889 01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:17.960 an axe aimed at your skull. You're gonna take it off, 1890 01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:22.079 my boy. No, you're not entertained, right exactly exactly. 1891 01:29:22.119 --> 01:29:25.640 So you see these movies where Homeboy like takes off 1892 01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:27.600 his helmet in the middle of a firefight, or he 1893 01:29:27.680 --> 01:29:31.079 takes off his breathing mask when he's in a jet 1894 01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:33.399 like pulling mock too, and it's like, who you're not, 1895 01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:36.680 it's unrealistic, but it's for the cinema. 1896 01:29:36.760 --> 01:29:40.279 That's what we would call creative liberties. Right. So, if 1897 01:29:40.279 --> 01:29:41.960 you're going up in the air and. 1898 01:29:41.880 --> 01:29:44.479 You've got an actual naval pilot flying in the front 1899 01:29:44.479 --> 01:29:46.640 seat and maybe the actor is in the back seat 1900 01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:49.920 getting the shots, if you will, or whatever, Yeah, that's 1901 01:29:49.960 --> 01:29:53.319 costing jet fuel. That's costing man hours and maintenance hours 1902 01:29:53.359 --> 01:29:55.560 on that aircraft to get it up in the air 1903 01:29:55.840 --> 01:29:59.039 you're getting on the aircraft carrier itself to get these shots, 1904 01:29:59.039 --> 01:30:01.560 Like yo, it's it's gonna lost time and money. And 1905 01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:04.239 the military, if it's for the principle of recruiting, is 1906 01:30:04.399 --> 01:30:07.359 very capable and willing to spend that time and money. 1907 01:30:07.439 --> 01:30:09.960 Absolutely got to spend money to make money. That's how 1908 01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:12.920 this goes. But it's not like they're doing it just 1909 01:30:12.960 --> 01:30:14.720 out of the kind of so their fucking hearts dog 1910 01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:18.439 now they need warm bodies. We really do, We really do. 1911 01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:23.039 So beyond the nostalgia, Maverick reinforced traditional values, respect for 1912 01:30:23.119 --> 01:30:26.960 chain of command, heroism and the redemptive arc of duty. 1913 01:30:27.159 --> 01:30:32.960 Subtle programming reinforce military superiority through cinematic adrenaline, hyperreal dogfights, 1914 01:30:33.079 --> 01:30:36.880 heroic sacrifice, and the idea that older soldiers still matter. 1915 01:30:37.199 --> 01:30:41.199 It was a fantasy, but one engineered to ignite patriotic fervor. 1916 01:30:42.199 --> 01:30:44.439 Yeah, I can believe that. I mean, the old soldiers 1917 01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:46.760 still mattering. You know, Tom Selik fucking killed the role, 1918 01:30:47.479 --> 01:30:48.680 so I mean, hey, I'm here for. 1919 01:30:48.680 --> 01:30:50.520 Tom Selik, one of the fucking OG's dude. 1920 01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:54.479 And then the Maverick movie, they Jesus Val Kilmer. He 1921 01:30:54.479 --> 01:30:56.760 couldn't even talk anymore. They had him typing out in 1922 01:30:56.880 --> 01:30:59.199 all of that, and which is also kind of sad, 1923 01:31:00.199 --> 01:31:02.279 it is, but also like it's that's in the realm 1924 01:31:02.279 --> 01:31:05.279 of being unrealistic. If they would have made him seem 1925 01:31:05.279 --> 01:31:09.399 like a retired admiral or something who's sitting on the 1926 01:31:09.439 --> 01:31:11.279 porch at his house and he's typing out something to 1927 01:31:11.319 --> 01:31:13.479 his old friend Maverick, that would have been way more 1928 01:31:13.479 --> 01:31:16.279 believable than a guy who you're trying to pass off 1929 01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:20.000 as somebody in a command position who's unable to speak. 1930 01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:22.800 No, I'm sorry, that's not some school. 1931 01:31:24.720 --> 01:31:27.960 No, they're not gonna do that, especially if he was 1932 01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:30.239 like some sort of like a nuclear commander or something, 1933 01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:32.680 where like he had a very specific set of skills 1934 01:31:32.680 --> 01:31:35.560 that the Navy couldn't go without. Fine, they'll make certain 1935 01:31:35.600 --> 01:31:37.920 exceptions and allowances and waivers for things like that. 1936 01:31:37.960 --> 01:31:42.079 I understand this. He was a fucking pilot, that's not. 1937 01:31:42.560 --> 01:31:45.079 No, you wouldn't keep that guy around because he's like 1938 01:31:45.600 --> 01:31:48.199 that critical in his position. You would force him out, 1939 01:31:48.239 --> 01:31:51.600 you would give him a medical retirement. But okay, sure, 1940 01:31:52.039 --> 01:31:53.039 I'm batman. 1941 01:31:55.159 --> 01:31:57.119 You know, is it never mind? I want to be mean. 1942 01:31:57.199 --> 01:31:59.199 Val Kilmer did an Okay, job as Batman. 1943 01:31:59.359 --> 01:31:59.760 But like. 1944 01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:05.960 I'm just saying anyway. 1945 01:32:05.960 --> 01:32:08.239 The next movie or series that we get into is 1946 01:32:08.279 --> 01:32:11.119 the Transformer series from two thousand and seven to present day. 1947 01:32:11.720 --> 01:32:15.439 The branches involved were the DoD the Air Force, and 1948 01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:20.359 the Army. Michael Bay your favorite director. Michael Bay's Transformer 1949 01:32:20.439 --> 01:32:24.119 films are effectively love letters to the American military dressed 1950 01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:28.880 up as alien robot battles. Depentagon offered tanks, helicopters, jets, 1951 01:32:28.880 --> 01:32:32.520 and base access in return for script consultation and guidance. 1952 01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:36.399 That's why nearly every military figure is heroic and why 1953 01:32:36.439 --> 01:32:40.920 the US response to alien threats is overwhelmingly competent. Unlike 1954 01:32:41.000 --> 01:32:44.399 in most sci fi narratives, the subconscious programming is thick 1955 01:32:44.840 --> 01:32:48.359 might makes right. Military technology is our greatest weapon and 1956 01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:52.760 win in doubt. Call the Army characters like I figured 1957 01:32:52.800 --> 01:33:01.359 you no offense, no offen to the people in the Army. 1958 01:33:01.960 --> 01:33:03.920 No, no, no, it's not like a Wendell called him 1959 01:33:03.920 --> 01:33:06.520 Marie's it's not even taking that stance. It's like that 1960 01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:10.520 that That is one of the most opinions that anybody's 1961 01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:11.560 ever had. 1962 01:33:12.600 --> 01:33:16.720 Characters like Josh Dummel's Special Forces leader are stoic brave 1963 01:33:16.760 --> 01:33:20.960 and unwavering. Even optimist Prime's voice often echoes Reagan era 1964 01:33:21.079 --> 01:33:25.720 messaging peace through strength, trust authority, and protect quote unquote freedom. 1965 01:33:26.079 --> 01:33:29.079 It's cgi warporn greenlit by the DoD. 1966 01:33:30.039 --> 01:33:32.039 One hundred percent agree with that. And for the record, 1967 01:33:32.199 --> 01:33:35.800 I don't hate Michael Bay as a director, but like, 1968 01:33:36.159 --> 01:33:40.560 there's no need. Transformers is the exception, because all right, 1969 01:33:40.600 --> 01:33:44.319 if you're gonna have an intergalactic robot alien race having battles, 1970 01:33:44.359 --> 01:33:47.239 there's gonna be explosions and crazy shit. I get it. 1971 01:33:48.039 --> 01:33:51.079 But every movie he does, It's South Park even made 1972 01:33:51.119 --> 01:33:53.039 a joke about this. They're like in the writer's room 1973 01:33:53.039 --> 01:33:56.560 and he's like and then more explosions and this goes 1974 01:33:56.600 --> 01:33:58.399 here and they're like, wait, we're in the in the 1975 01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:01.880 coffee scene like that and more explosions, and it's like, 1976 01:34:02.159 --> 01:34:05.359 you go over the top, Like, more explosions does not 1977 01:34:05.520 --> 01:34:08.720 equal a good movie. I know that's a crazy thing 1978 01:34:08.760 --> 01:34:10.399 to Michael Bay. He doesn't believe that. 1979 01:34:10.520 --> 01:34:12.680 He thinks that the only way you can have a 1980 01:34:12.720 --> 01:34:15.920 blockbuster hit is that there's explosions on screen like every 1981 01:34:15.960 --> 01:34:19.840 fifteen seconds. Okay, I just I personally disagree with that, 1982 01:34:20.079 --> 01:34:23.039 but he did good with the Transformer movies. I think 1983 01:34:23.039 --> 01:34:26.199 they kind of I think they kind of overstayed their 1984 01:34:26.239 --> 01:34:29.319 welcome a bit when Shilah Buff was no longer in them. 1985 01:34:29.359 --> 01:34:32.800 I just kind of lost lost that want. Yeah, it's 1986 01:34:32.800 --> 01:34:34.800 something that I don't like Mark Wahlberg either. I love 1987 01:34:34.880 --> 01:34:37.960 him as an actor, but like not in Transformers. That 1988 01:34:38.159 --> 01:34:40.960 wasn't his role. Dude, that's not his genre. 1989 01:34:41.199 --> 01:34:43.960 I'm sorry anyway, Although I will say the Bumblebee movie 1990 01:34:44.000 --> 01:34:45.560 was really good. Didn't have Shila Buff in it, but 1991 01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:47.479 if you watch that one, that was a really good movie. 1992 01:34:47.920 --> 01:34:49.760 I don't know if I've seen that one honestly is 1993 01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:50.279 a good one. 1994 01:34:50.359 --> 01:34:50.920 It's a good one. 1995 01:34:52.119 --> 01:34:56.199 So, yeah, we got the Transformers and uh oh, by 1996 01:34:56.239 --> 01:34:59.439 the way, shout out to Shilah Buff's a strange sister, 1997 01:34:59.479 --> 01:35:04.399 which we before the claim that Shilah Buff is a 1998 01:35:04.439 --> 01:35:06.399 love child of Jeffrey Epstein. 1999 01:35:06.520 --> 01:35:07.720 I believe isn't that what we said? 2000 01:35:08.359 --> 01:35:11.520 Yeah, I've done more digging into that. That would be 2001 01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:14.079 an internet whack job. She's still going, by the way, 2002 01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:17.119 I believe you. She's been like showing up on podcasts 2003 01:35:17.159 --> 01:35:21.359 and stuff. We've had quite a few internet whack jobs 2004 01:35:21.359 --> 01:35:24.239 that we've talked about before. Some of them on the show, 2005 01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:27.960 some of them, some of them on the show. And yeah, 2006 01:35:28.039 --> 01:35:31.880 she's attempting to carve out her own fifteen minutes of fame. 2007 01:35:31.960 --> 01:35:34.840 But like, I don't know if she understands this, but 2008 01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:37.840 she could be sued for character defamation if she gets 2009 01:35:37.840 --> 01:35:38.720 big enough and like. 2010 01:35:38.720 --> 01:35:40.520 Goes that route. Now, I don't know if Shia would 2011 01:35:40.520 --> 01:35:40.840 do that. 2012 01:35:41.319 --> 01:35:43.439 He's on this whole biblical kick right now, and he 2013 01:35:43.520 --> 01:35:46.720 seems like he's doing better as a person now more 2014 01:35:46.760 --> 01:35:49.119 than he has in the last fucking twenty years. 2015 01:35:49.119 --> 01:35:49.640 I disagree. 2016 01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:51.439 I think he's even crazier now than he ever was 2017 01:35:52.319 --> 01:35:55.960 because he's Catholic. Oh dude, he's hardcore into the Catholic shit. 2018 01:35:56.039 --> 01:35:58.640 Now, like you, most people that get that way are. 2019 01:35:58.880 --> 01:36:01.640 That's a sane person, that's what you think. I like, 2020 01:36:01.720 --> 01:36:04.760 I mean so completely into the I mean, I get 2021 01:36:04.760 --> 01:36:05.600 the Christian thing. 2022 01:36:05.720 --> 01:36:06.479 Bud Catholic. 2023 01:36:06.640 --> 01:36:09.359 I mean nothing against Catholics, but that's like the most 2024 01:36:09.399 --> 01:36:12.960 occult version of Christianity. After my research into. 2025 01:36:12.800 --> 01:36:15.479 It, I think he kind of speaks to certain people 2026 01:36:15.640 --> 01:36:20.239 that they truly like the the mechanics of it. They 2027 01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:22.760 like the way the Mass is laid out and how 2028 01:36:22.760 --> 01:36:25.760 it's traditionally done this way, and it gives them a 2029 01:36:25.800 --> 01:36:28.560 sense of like historical precedence, and it gives them a 2030 01:36:28.600 --> 01:36:31.520 sense of like order to an otherwise chaotic life. 2031 01:36:31.600 --> 01:36:33.279 Some people just love being told what to do. 2032 01:36:34.039 --> 01:36:36.680 I mean, yeah, that's the Bible is not a rule 2033 01:36:36.680 --> 01:36:39.159 book necessarily, but it's supposed to be. You're supposed to 2034 01:36:39.159 --> 01:36:41.079 conform your life to the Bible as best you can. 2035 01:36:41.159 --> 01:36:42.880 But we're not going to go that way this episode. 2036 01:36:42.920 --> 01:36:46.720 All I'm saying is that there is something for a 2037 01:36:46.760 --> 01:36:49.680 denomination for everybody out there. Those that like to be 2038 01:36:49.760 --> 01:36:51.880 a little more loud and a little more you know, 2039 01:36:52.000 --> 01:36:54.239 dancing in the middle of a church service, We have 2040 01:36:54.279 --> 01:36:57.000 a denomination for that. Those that like to be quiet 2041 01:36:57.079 --> 01:37:00.239 and go through the order of precedence. Sit Neil in 2042 01:37:00.640 --> 01:37:03.479 seeing some hymnals get the communion, Sit Neil Band like, 2043 01:37:03.960 --> 01:37:05.560 did we have a denomination for that? 2044 01:37:06.199 --> 01:37:08.880 You know, I'm not a Catholic. I don't have hatred. 2045 01:37:09.279 --> 01:37:13.600 Yeah, I don't have hatred towards Catholicism as a denomination, 2046 01:37:14.439 --> 01:37:16.680 but I do find it interesting. And we can do 2047 01:37:16.720 --> 01:37:18.680 a diveal on this one day here soon if you'd like, 2048 01:37:19.319 --> 01:37:22.880 every big name that has found Christian well, I don't 2049 01:37:22.880 --> 01:37:24.439 want to say every There's been a few that. 2050 01:37:24.439 --> 01:37:25.920 Have a lot. 2051 01:37:25.960 --> 01:37:27.239 There's a lot, not all. 2052 01:37:27.399 --> 01:37:31.680 There's been more than a handful that have found Christianity 2053 01:37:31.800 --> 01:37:34.560 or found God and found the love of Jesus Christ 2054 01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:37.920 in other denominations, and they have had radical transformations in 2055 01:37:37.960 --> 01:37:40.920 their life and all the things. But there seems to 2056 01:37:40.960 --> 01:37:45.640 be a going trend like for instance, Miloianapolis right, very 2057 01:37:45.680 --> 01:37:50.239 famously gay, very loud about so many things, and then 2058 01:37:50.560 --> 01:37:55.640 he finds Catholicism and he divorces his husband and he's 2059 01:37:55.760 --> 01:38:01.680 like hardcore Catholic these days, Russell Brand, cat Von, Shila Buff. 2060 01:38:02.039 --> 01:38:04.960 There is this thing that's happening right now where the 2061 01:38:04.960 --> 01:38:09.479 Catholic Church is actually seeing a resurgence in certain regards. 2062 01:38:09.119 --> 01:38:11.039 Or at least they're paying actors to make it seem 2063 01:38:11.079 --> 01:38:11.399 that way. 2064 01:38:12.560 --> 01:38:14.560 I don't think they're paying them, but I think that 2065 01:38:14.600 --> 01:38:16.279 they're enticing them in other ways. 2066 01:38:16.039 --> 01:38:20.720 And blackmailing them. That's probably more likely. Actually, you think 2067 01:38:20.720 --> 01:38:23.600 about like the people that are getting into it, they 2068 01:38:23.640 --> 01:38:26.520 all have some kind of sketchy ass history. Mel Gibson, 2069 01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:30.680 Shila Buff, Russell Brand, like, they all have some really 2070 01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:34.760 sketchy history of maybe, you know, maybe the Catholic Church. 2071 01:38:34.800 --> 01:38:36.960 Maybe it's a Vatican, I don't know. Maybe they got 2072 01:38:36.960 --> 01:38:39.479 some dirt and said, look, you're gonna fucking play ball 2073 01:38:39.520 --> 01:38:41.560 with us. We're trying to bring people back to the 2074 01:38:41.560 --> 01:38:44.079 Catholic Church. And if you don't, well, we got a 2075 01:38:44.079 --> 01:38:46.840 couple of videos here, We got a couple of you 2076 01:38:46.880 --> 01:38:48.880 know whatever. You know what I'm saying, Like, I think 2077 01:38:48.920 --> 01:38:51.159 that that would be an interesting show to dive into. 2078 01:38:51.439 --> 01:38:53.199 Actually, I think it's possible. 2079 01:38:53.279 --> 01:38:55.920 I'm not saying that it's one hundred percent accurate or whatever, 2080 01:38:56.000 --> 01:38:58.399 but I just I find it interesting that that is 2081 01:38:58.439 --> 01:38:59.960 the realm that's being had. 2082 01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:02.520 I just I like, don't buy it with Russell Brand, 2083 01:39:02.720 --> 01:39:07.279 like that, that is the most like unlikely character to 2084 01:39:07.560 --> 01:39:10.560 like to go from where he was to now he's 2085 01:39:10.640 --> 01:39:13.199 Catholic and he's going to the fucking Jordan River and 2086 01:39:13.239 --> 01:39:15.840 his fucking whitey tities and he's out there with another 2087 01:39:15.880 --> 01:39:17.640 dude who's out there in his whitey tities and doing 2088 01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:18.640 the whole baptism thing. 2089 01:39:18.640 --> 01:39:20.560 I'm like, ah, right, dude, come on. 2090 01:39:20.640 --> 01:39:23.119 Dude, it's on my bucket list to get baptized in 2091 01:39:23.119 --> 01:39:23.840 the Jordan River and. 2092 01:39:23.840 --> 01:39:25.640 Your whitey tities you don't even wear underwear. 2093 01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:27.800 No, I do not, But no, I'm just gonna wear 2094 01:39:27.800 --> 01:39:29.600 like a white shirt. You know, you don't have to 2095 01:39:29.640 --> 01:39:30.720 wear just underwear. 2096 01:39:30.880 --> 01:39:33.520 No, you gotta you gotta go full gay with it, dude. No, 2097 01:39:34.640 --> 01:39:38.199 that would be ridiculous, isn't it. But I didn't know 2098 01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:39.800 he was doing in white tities. I thought he had 2099 01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:41.760 like a white like shirt or something. 2100 01:39:41.800 --> 01:39:44.479 I haven't seen the pictures basically naked with the with 2101 01:39:44.560 --> 01:39:47.319 the exception of the whitey tities, and the guy that 2102 01:39:47.439 --> 01:39:50.239 was given him the baptism was also in his whitey tities. 2103 01:39:51.319 --> 01:39:54.000 It seemed ritualistic. It seems fucking ritualistic to me. 2104 01:39:54.079 --> 01:39:58.119 Bro I mean, but baptism, like on paper, is ritualistic. 2105 01:39:58.199 --> 01:40:01.239 It is, it is, But I'm saying more so than 2106 01:40:01.359 --> 01:40:02.000 the optics. 2107 01:40:02.039 --> 01:40:02.439 I think. 2108 01:40:03.159 --> 01:40:05.159 Yeah, most of the people that I know that have 2109 01:40:05.239 --> 01:40:08.520 gone and done that were wearing like not like a 2110 01:40:08.560 --> 01:40:10.760 man dress or anything, but you know, wearing a white 2111 01:40:10.760 --> 01:40:13.800 shirt and like some pants of some type or a swimsuit. 2112 01:40:13.840 --> 01:40:16.319 But yeah, I don't know. And we could do a 2113 01:40:16.359 --> 01:40:18.880 deep dive on that later on. Like, and it's not 2114 01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:22.159 just in this country. Catholicism worldwide is seeing a very 2115 01:40:22.279 --> 01:40:25.680 large resurgence. Christianity is on the rise right now worldwide, 2116 01:40:26.520 --> 01:40:30.239 maybe not in America, but around in Asia right now. 2117 01:40:30.319 --> 01:40:32.439 That is what people are projecting is going to be 2118 01:40:32.479 --> 01:40:37.399 the next big renaissance that happens in China, especially with 2119 01:40:37.479 --> 01:40:40.760 the fall of g that's being projected to happen very 2120 01:40:40.960 --> 01:40:46.039 very soon, especially because Christianity is punishable by prisonment if 2121 01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:50.279 not death in China. So I mean once that gets 2122 01:40:50.319 --> 01:40:52.760 broken out, yeah, I think it's going to see a 2123 01:40:53.039 --> 01:40:56.880 massive resurgence over there. And because the Chinese people are 2124 01:40:56.880 --> 01:40:59.199 so like, they're strict in order and buy the book 2125 01:40:59.239 --> 01:41:01.640 and all these things, it would also make sense to 2126 01:41:01.640 --> 01:41:04.560 me that Catholicism would take serious root in China. 2127 01:41:04.880 --> 01:41:06.600 I don't know this for a fact, though. Look at 2128 01:41:06.680 --> 01:41:08.640 him here in his fucking whitey tities, bro, and then 2129 01:41:08.640 --> 01:41:09.119 you got home. 2130 01:41:09.439 --> 01:41:13.800 I see him holding a picture. Scroll down. There's a picture. Uh, 2131 01:41:13.840 --> 01:41:15.600 I can't find because it's it's a video. 2132 01:41:15.680 --> 01:41:17.079 We'll pull it up one of these days. 2133 01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:20.199 But yeah, like, because you can see right here they're 2134 01:41:20.239 --> 01:41:22.800 all coming together after the baptism, and he's wearing shorts 2135 01:41:22.880 --> 01:41:25.600 right here, right, Yeah, there's shorts, but right here in 2136 01:41:25.640 --> 01:41:27.800 this picture he's just rocking the whitey tidies. 2137 01:41:29.279 --> 01:41:32.600 Ah, yeah, I see it. That's weird fucking But Okay, 2138 01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:33.520 I don't know. 2139 01:41:33.640 --> 01:41:34.880 I don't know what to think about that. 2140 01:41:35.319 --> 01:41:37.800 I mean, I mean, I'm looking at it obviously from 2141 01:41:37.840 --> 01:41:41.680 a bias perspective, but I'm just saying, I can't imagine, 2142 01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:45.319 you know, being in front of the glory of God 2143 01:41:45.399 --> 01:41:49.279 when I'm from baptizing and like you can see like 2144 01:41:49.359 --> 01:41:51.880 my mushroom head, you know what I'm saying, that's weird. 2145 01:41:52.439 --> 01:41:54.680 It also would makes sense that somebody would get baptized 2146 01:41:54.680 --> 01:41:57.439 completely naked. Honestly, to me, you were born into this 2147 01:41:57.520 --> 01:42:00.640 world without clothing. God knows your naked, you know what 2148 01:42:00.640 --> 01:42:02.159 I'm saying. There's a whole thing in the garden eating 2149 01:42:02.159 --> 01:42:05.720 about that and shit. But seeing when there was gonna 2150 01:42:05.720 --> 01:42:10.159 be cameras on them, you would think that a modicum 2151 01:42:10.319 --> 01:42:13.560 of modesty. I don't, you know, who am I to judge? 2152 01:42:13.600 --> 01:42:15.239 We need to go back to our caveman ways and 2153 01:42:15.279 --> 01:42:16.600 just get naked all the time. 2154 01:42:17.640 --> 01:42:20.399 I would, But it gets cold, man, there's wintertime, and shit, 2155 01:42:21.039 --> 01:42:23.479 you're wearing a fucking sweater as it is, homie, and 2156 01:42:23.560 --> 01:42:25.920 I'm still cold every time it gets below sixty degrees. 2157 01:42:25.960 --> 01:42:26.560 It's insane. 2158 01:42:26.600 --> 01:42:29.359 I'm meant for the tropics, all right, So now let's 2159 01:42:29.359 --> 01:42:33.119 get back over the list. Enough fucking around. Iron Man 2160 01:42:33.159 --> 01:42:35.880 two thousand and eight. The branches involved where the US 2161 01:42:35.960 --> 01:42:40.319 Air Force and the DoD. Iron Man may have kicked 2162 01:42:40.359 --> 01:42:43.800 off the Marvel cinematic universe, but its roots lie in 2163 01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:47.840 military industrial glory. The DOOD supported the film with access 2164 01:42:47.880 --> 01:42:51.600 to fighter jets, personnel, and military bases, helping to craft 2165 01:42:51.600 --> 01:42:55.359 Tony Stark's transformation from arms dealer to patriot hero. The 2166 01:42:55.439 --> 01:42:59.920 Pentagon reviewed and approved script portions to ensure the the 2167 01:43:00.880 --> 01:43:04.880 US military wasn't shown as complicit in global arms corruption. 2168 01:43:07.560 --> 01:43:11.119 Yeah, they're not complicit in it whatsoever. Bullshit. 2169 01:43:11.800 --> 01:43:15.159 They've made money from everybody. They are the Hammer, dude, 2170 01:43:15.199 --> 01:43:18.359 that's Hammer Corporation. That is who the military industrial complex 2171 01:43:18.439 --> 01:43:19.079 actually is. 2172 01:43:19.720 --> 01:43:25.319 Meanwhile, Lords of War showed the corruption behind the military 2173 01:43:25.319 --> 01:43:29.199 industrial complex and the gun running that happens. So you know, hey, 2174 01:43:29.199 --> 01:43:30.319 what are we talking about here? 2175 01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:35.319 The film subtly redeems American militarism. Stark's character arc suggests 2176 01:43:35.319 --> 01:43:37.560 that US weapons are only bad when they fall into 2177 01:43:37.560 --> 01:43:41.319 the wrong hands, and that the solution isn't disarmament but 2178 01:43:41.479 --> 01:43:45.279 personal responsibility. Within the system. Iron Man becomes a symbol 2179 01:43:45.399 --> 01:43:49.960 of benevolent interventionism. Yeah, interventionism. 2180 01:43:50.079 --> 01:43:51.680 Yeah, is that the message? 2181 01:43:51.720 --> 01:43:53.840 Because I thought it was that he didn't trust even 2182 01:43:53.840 --> 01:43:56.039 our own military with the weapons. That's why he stopped 2183 01:43:56.039 --> 01:43:59.560 manufacturing them, and he wanted to privatize world peace and 2184 01:43:59.600 --> 01:44:01.600 be the one guy to stop at all. He went 2185 01:44:01.640 --> 01:44:04.399 into sidestep the entirety of the US military. Maybe I 2186 01:44:04.439 --> 01:44:05.079 missed the point. 2187 01:44:05.720 --> 01:44:08.560 That's probably where it started to veer off script. You know, 2188 01:44:09.119 --> 01:44:11.680 didn't necessarily make the military look like the good guys. 2189 01:44:12.760 --> 01:44:14.920 So yeah, it says iron Man becomes a symbol of 2190 01:44:15.079 --> 01:44:20.239 benevolent interventionism, a man outside the military who still acts 2191 01:44:20.239 --> 01:44:21.760 like it's private superhero. 2192 01:44:23.520 --> 01:44:26.720 Okay, fair on the first one, I could see that, 2193 01:44:26.760 --> 01:44:28.479 the second one not so much. 2194 01:44:28.560 --> 01:44:30.279 Third one absolutely not at all. 2195 01:44:31.000 --> 01:44:34.039 So shout out to Roady. It should have it should 2196 01:44:34.039 --> 01:44:37.359 have remained Terrence Howard's role. The fact didn't want anymore 2197 01:44:37.399 --> 01:44:39.800 he went psycho. No, he still wanted it. No, he 2198 01:44:39.840 --> 01:44:42.079 didn't start going on to all that other shit until 2199 01:44:42.119 --> 01:44:43.199 like a couple of years ago. 2200 01:44:44.479 --> 01:44:46.800 That's true. He was still playing in uh what was 2201 01:44:46.840 --> 01:44:49.279 that another show? It was like a spin off of 2202 01:44:48.479 --> 01:44:51.319 a of a hustle and flow. He was still acting 2203 01:44:51.359 --> 01:44:53.079 at that time. You're right, yeah he was. They gave 2204 01:44:53.119 --> 01:44:54.119 it to Don Cheetle. 2205 01:44:54.439 --> 01:44:57.760 He gave it to Don Cheedle, and I thought he no, 2206 01:44:57.880 --> 01:44:59.920 he never. He was pissed that he didn't get it 2207 01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:02.239 because they kind of like sideswiped him. He didn't even 2208 01:45:02.279 --> 01:45:03.479 know that he wasn't going to retain it. 2209 01:45:04.560 --> 01:45:07.279 Wow, Okay, you know I liked him in the role 2210 01:45:07.359 --> 01:45:09.199 way more than Don Cheetahs punk ass. 2211 01:45:09.279 --> 01:45:12.000 Yeah, dude, Terrence Howard, I mean, set aside what you 2212 01:45:12.039 --> 01:45:14.199 think about all of his spiritual shit. Seems like a 2213 01:45:14.199 --> 01:45:15.560 fucking awesome dude to hang out with. 2214 01:45:16.159 --> 01:45:18.600 Oh yeah, he'd be cool to hang with for sure. 2215 01:45:18.720 --> 01:45:21.000 But yeah he's he's on his own. 2216 01:45:20.920 --> 01:45:21.640 Vibe right now. 2217 01:45:22.199 --> 01:45:23.399 I like that vibe personally. 2218 01:45:23.640 --> 01:45:27.680 But anyhow, so to do Yeah, now we're going to 2219 01:45:28.319 --> 01:45:30.960 And you saw like how that whole thing kind of 2220 01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:33.319 played out played out with Iron Man and even up 2221 01:45:33.840 --> 01:45:36.079 up with the Avengers and stuff like that. Right, Like 2222 01:45:36.960 --> 01:45:40.600 Iron Man Tony Stark was all about like essentially like 2223 01:45:40.720 --> 01:45:44.359 putting the planet in some kind of iron Dome kind 2224 01:45:44.399 --> 01:45:46.439 of situation like they got ever in Israel, but like 2225 01:45:46.840 --> 01:45:51.520 more AI and advanced technology type to perfect or to 2226 01:45:51.600 --> 01:45:54.920 prevent from the aliens and comming and all that other 2227 01:45:54.960 --> 01:45:57.720 shit right where you got Ultron and he's calling all 2228 01:45:57.760 --> 01:46:01.439 these fucking other things from aliens from other planets. And 2229 01:46:01.479 --> 01:46:05.279 so whenever those aliens came in Ironman and Tony Stark, 2230 01:46:05.319 --> 01:46:07.399 that's why they had the whole Civil War movie between 2231 01:46:07.439 --> 01:46:12.199 Ironman and Captain fucking America. 2232 01:46:12.199 --> 01:46:15.399 Iron right, oh, Captain America. 2233 01:46:15.560 --> 01:46:18.279 Yeah, Yeah, they went through their whole thing and yeah, 2234 01:46:18.319 --> 01:46:22.800 and it was all about like pushing military like overly, 2235 01:46:23.279 --> 01:46:26.159 you know, overstretched as far as military security and whatnot. 2236 01:46:26.720 --> 01:46:29.960 Do you think that maybe this whole Golden Dome conversation 2237 01:46:30.039 --> 01:46:32.119 that Trump's wanted to get us in the same guy 2238 01:46:32.239 --> 01:46:33.760 that created the Space Force? 2239 01:46:34.479 --> 01:46:37.560 Are we saying there may be some little little cone shown. 2240 01:46:37.800 --> 01:46:40.359 Yeah, I'm just saying they always put it in movies 2241 01:46:40.399 --> 01:46:41.640 before it happens in real life. 2242 01:46:41.640 --> 01:46:42.720 That's part of the programming. 2243 01:46:43.399 --> 01:46:46.239 Mah. I mean, hey, I'm here for it. By the way, 2244 01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:47.560 I support the Golden Dome. 2245 01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:50.640 I know you you and others don't think that they're 2246 01:46:50.680 --> 01:46:53.840 doing it for karmaic reasons, but I think personally, I 2247 01:46:53.840 --> 01:46:56.119 think it's beyond why they put it in movies. Before 2248 01:46:56.159 --> 01:46:58.079 it comes to real life. I think it's more than 2249 01:46:58.159 --> 01:47:00.640 just karmic reasons. That's I just think that's one of 2250 01:47:00.680 --> 01:47:03.560 the reasons. But I think the actual main reason why 2251 01:47:03.560 --> 01:47:05.439 they put shit in movies before it comes to real 2252 01:47:05.520 --> 01:47:08.119 life is so that whenever it does happen in real life, 2253 01:47:08.159 --> 01:47:10.920 people are aware that they've seen it before. You know, 2254 01:47:11.039 --> 01:47:13.560 it's a soft launch. It's a soft launch, so that 2255 01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:13.960 that way. 2256 01:47:14.159 --> 01:47:14.720 Think about it. 2257 01:47:14.760 --> 01:47:17.520 Like, you know, if it wasn't for certain alien movies, 2258 01:47:18.039 --> 01:47:20.399 if you saw a fucking UFO up in this guy, 2259 01:47:20.399 --> 01:47:21.399 you'd probably shit your pants. 2260 01:47:21.399 --> 01:47:22.239 You wouldn't know what to do. 2261 01:47:22.479 --> 01:47:24.520 But I've seen this in a movie before, so I 2262 01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:27.600 already know, like I'm gonna act how those actors acted, right. 2263 01:47:27.680 --> 01:47:30.399 Yeah, No, using it for the soft launch principle of it, 2264 01:47:30.439 --> 01:47:31.439 I agree one hundred percent. 2265 01:47:31.800 --> 01:47:34.000 I think that's why they released things in movies beforehand. 2266 01:47:34.039 --> 01:47:36.239 I just me and you have disagreed on this one 2267 01:47:36.279 --> 01:47:38.680 as far as the karmic balance of it, you know. 2268 01:47:39.439 --> 01:47:42.079 I mean, that's fine, but anyway, all right, let's move 2269 01:47:42.079 --> 01:47:44.199 on to one of your favorite movies of all time. 2270 01:47:44.279 --> 01:47:47.560 Captain Marvel came out in twenty nineteen. The branch involved 2271 01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:52.279 was obviously the US Air Force. Marvel Studios partnered directly 2272 01:47:52.359 --> 01:47:55.039 with the US Air Force to market Captain America as 2273 01:47:55.039 --> 01:47:58.119 a recruitment tool for women. The Air Force provided jets 2274 01:47:58.279 --> 01:48:02.159 training and access to female pilots as consultants. In turn, 2275 01:48:02.279 --> 01:48:06.920 the script emphasizes female or emphasized female empowerment within the 2276 01:48:07.000 --> 01:48:10.279 chain of command, showing that true strength comes not from 2277 01:48:10.359 --> 01:48:14.279 rebellion rebellion, but from rising through the ranks of a system. 2278 01:48:14.600 --> 01:48:17.760 While dressed in feminism, the underlying message is clear the 2279 01:48:17.800 --> 01:48:21.520 military is the best path for female empowerment. The subconscious 2280 01:48:21.600 --> 01:48:26.439 narrative isn't just girls can be heroes, but join the 2281 01:48:26.479 --> 01:48:28.479 Air Force and become a real one. 2282 01:48:28.760 --> 01:48:31.760 This wasn't just a movie. It was a stylish intergalactic 2283 01:48:31.960 --> 01:48:32.960 enlistment poster. 2284 01:48:35.239 --> 01:48:37.399 I'm not gonna fully disagree with what was said. 2285 01:48:37.880 --> 01:48:39.600 That's what they were trying to that's what they were 2286 01:48:39.640 --> 01:48:42.079 pushing for, not saying that that's actually what got through, 2287 01:48:42.119 --> 01:48:43.159 but that was their goal. 2288 01:48:45.079 --> 01:48:49.600 Yeah, there's definitely a place in the military for women, 2289 01:48:50.159 --> 01:48:52.800 absolute one hundred percent, and you can rise through the 2290 01:48:52.840 --> 01:48:56.600 ring structure and become whatever you're looking for. Yeah, one 2291 01:48:56.680 --> 01:49:00.560 hundred percent. There's more than one way to do that, 2292 01:49:01.399 --> 01:49:02.079 by the way. 2293 01:49:02.359 --> 01:49:04.840 Like, if you, for instance, are a woman listening to 2294 01:49:04.880 --> 01:49:07.319 the show and you're you're a young lady and you're 2295 01:49:07.319 --> 01:49:09.239 in college and you don't know exactly what you want 2296 01:49:09.239 --> 01:49:14.159 to go for yet. You could become an engineer and 2297 01:49:14.199 --> 01:49:17.159 like become a good one that goes and works for 2298 01:49:17.159 --> 01:49:20.600 one of these massive companies and makes crazy money and 2299 01:49:20.680 --> 01:49:23.880 you surpass all of your male counterparts because you're that smart. 2300 01:49:24.319 --> 01:49:27.239 Like that's a real possibility. Or you can go and 2301 01:49:27.279 --> 01:49:28.560 become a brain surgeon. 2302 01:49:29.159 --> 01:49:31.359 There's so many things out there that a woman can 2303 01:49:31.399 --> 01:49:34.880 do that would make her seem like a hero and 2304 01:49:35.000 --> 01:49:38.000 excel and beyond her peers and all that. Yeah, the 2305 01:49:38.079 --> 01:49:42.760 military may be that fit for a young lady in 2306 01:49:42.800 --> 01:49:46.279 this world, but not always. Not always. And I say 2307 01:49:46.319 --> 01:49:48.039 the same thing about a man. It's not like, oh, 2308 01:49:48.039 --> 01:49:49.039 you know what you need to do. You need to 2309 01:49:49.079 --> 01:49:52.479 join the military and get your life right. Oh that's 2310 01:49:52.520 --> 01:49:55.600 not exactly a true statement, actually, but all right. 2311 01:49:55.680 --> 01:49:57.239 I mean a lot of the women that I've met 2312 01:49:57.279 --> 01:50:00.600 that were, you know, in the military before, I always 2313 01:50:00.640 --> 01:50:03.840 look at them like, man, you you're more badass than me, Like, 2314 01:50:04.119 --> 01:50:06.560 you know, I get what your point is though, that 2315 01:50:06.560 --> 01:50:09.960 that this isn't the only way, but the military wants 2316 01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:12.000 you to think that it's one of the only ways. 2317 01:50:12.640 --> 01:50:16.319 I've met quite a number of female veterans, and I 2318 01:50:16.439 --> 01:50:18.359 knew females while I was in now I was in 2319 01:50:18.399 --> 01:50:20.279 an all male unit because I was in the infantry. 2320 01:50:20.359 --> 01:50:22.640 But and this is before they allowed females to be 2321 01:50:22.680 --> 01:50:25.159 in the grunts, which still blows my fucking mind. 2322 01:50:25.159 --> 01:50:28.600 But whatever, And you know, I will say they ran 2323 01:50:28.640 --> 01:50:29.640 the gambit. It was. 2324 01:50:29.720 --> 01:50:34.199 It was very polarized with females in the military. The 2325 01:50:34.279 --> 01:50:38.640 ones that were exceptional were fucking studs, They were incredible. 2326 01:50:38.960 --> 01:50:43.119 The ones that sucked fucking sucked. Right. 2327 01:50:43.520 --> 01:50:46.279 With men, I granted it's a boys club, right, I 2328 01:50:46.279 --> 01:50:49.680 think it's like eighty to ninety percent male centric, so 2329 01:50:49.720 --> 01:50:52.079 you have more of a more of a gambit to 2330 01:50:52.199 --> 01:50:54.800 run as far as that goes. You have your star studs, 2331 01:50:54.800 --> 01:50:56.600 you have your pieces of shit, and you have everything 2332 01:50:56.640 --> 01:50:59.680 in between. With women, it seemed to be very much 2333 01:50:59.720 --> 01:51:02.880 black white, very much hot or cold, very much like 2334 01:51:03.039 --> 01:51:05.800 this person's gonna do amazing things in this branch or. 2335 01:51:05.840 --> 01:51:07.800 This person like really needs to get the fuck out 2336 01:51:07.840 --> 01:51:08.680 after this enlistment. 2337 01:51:09.079 --> 01:51:13.439 You know, Yeah, the next movie we get to after 2338 01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:17.359 Captain marvel Is Blackhawk Down came out in twenty two 2339 01:51:17.399 --> 01:51:20.079 thousand and one. The branches involved with the US Army 2340 01:51:20.119 --> 01:51:23.880 and the DoD Blackhawk Down portrays the nineteen ninety three 2341 01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:29.159 Battle of Mogadishue Mogadishu Moga Dishu, and the Pentagon was 2342 01:51:29.159 --> 01:51:33.439 heavily involved in production. They provided helicopters, troops, and advisors 2343 01:51:33.560 --> 01:51:36.760 to ensure that the US soldiers were framed as valiant 2344 01:51:36.840 --> 01:51:41.840 victims rather than imperal aggressors. Controversial aspects of the events, 2345 01:51:41.880 --> 01:51:46.319 such as war crimes or the chaotic aftermath, were omitted entirely. 2346 01:51:46.840 --> 01:51:50.279 The subconscious impact is the glorification of sacrifice. Even in 2347 01:51:50.319 --> 01:51:53.640 failed missions. The enemy is faceless, often shot from a 2348 01:51:53.680 --> 01:51:56.880 distance or in chaotic swarms, Viewers are nudged to believe 2349 01:51:57.039 --> 01:51:59.560 that we're the good guys even when the mission fails. 2350 01:52:00.000 --> 01:52:05.199 Heroism is in futility becomes the takeaway, not questioning why 2351 01:52:05.239 --> 01:52:06.600 we were there in the first place. 2352 01:52:08.800 --> 01:52:15.800 Okay, war crimes, interesting take I've done a fair amount 2353 01:52:15.840 --> 01:52:18.680 of research into that situation outside of the movie, and like, 2354 01:52:18.760 --> 01:52:22.439 actually what took place? There was no war crimes that 2355 01:52:22.479 --> 01:52:23.359 I could find anything. 2356 01:52:23.359 --> 01:52:25.359 Now, if you're gonna question why America was there in 2357 01:52:25.359 --> 01:52:27.600 the first place is because the UN fumbled the ball 2358 01:52:27.760 --> 01:52:29.880 so fucking hard they had to send in the Marines 2359 01:52:29.920 --> 01:52:34.119 to like fix it. Now, you want to get mad 2360 01:52:34.159 --> 01:52:37.439 about the Marines being there in the first place, whatever, Fine, Okay, 2361 01:52:37.560 --> 01:52:42.039 that's an opinion. But yeah, we had dudes get taken 2362 01:52:42.119 --> 01:52:45.199 prisoner from that and they had to go send in 2363 01:52:45.279 --> 01:52:47.479 rescue operations to get them back. 2364 01:52:47.600 --> 01:52:47.920 Later. 2365 01:52:51.159 --> 01:52:55.640 We weren't an imperial force in Somalia that we weren't 2366 01:52:55.680 --> 01:52:58.159 trying to take it over, even set up an outpost. 2367 01:52:58.520 --> 01:53:01.520 There was a warlord that was start as people, and 2368 01:53:01.600 --> 01:53:03.600 I mean there's there's all kinds of things like that. 2369 01:53:03.600 --> 01:53:05.960 That's why. That's why I also get mad whenever, Like 2370 01:53:05.960 --> 01:53:08.079 and we've talked about the Cony twenty twelve or whatever 2371 01:53:08.119 --> 01:53:11.439 the fuck it was, it was the same thing. Where 2372 01:53:11.439 --> 01:53:12.239 were we at. 2373 01:53:12.520 --> 01:53:15.159 Where was the American forces that were going in to 2374 01:53:15.199 --> 01:53:17.840 save these kids and get rid of this evil warlord? 2375 01:53:18.159 --> 01:53:20.479 No, No, they didn't give a fuck about that. 2376 01:53:20.760 --> 01:53:22.479 There was no reason for us to be there, so 2377 01:53:22.560 --> 01:53:24.239 we set up sounds like a U problem, not a 2378 01:53:24.359 --> 01:53:26.439 US problem. So I mean, yeah, we're gonna get really 2379 01:53:26.439 --> 01:53:29.680 pissed off about the technicalities is what does and doesn't 2380 01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:32.760 mobilize US troops. I'm with you on that, But the 2381 01:53:32.920 --> 01:53:36.319 situation with black haw Down itself, I didn't see any 2382 01:53:36.359 --> 01:53:38.199 signs of a war crime anywhere, to be fat as 2383 01:53:38.239 --> 01:53:40.319 a matter of fact, that's the rules of engagement, is. 2384 01:53:40.680 --> 01:53:43.600 That it covered up that there were war crimes. They 2385 01:53:43.640 --> 01:53:44.880 completely omitted them. 2386 01:53:45.560 --> 01:53:48.039 I'm saying, whenever I did research into it, I couldn't 2387 01:53:48.039 --> 01:53:49.439 find anything about war crimes. 2388 01:53:49.560 --> 01:53:52.159 Well it's I just pulled it up. So the nineteen 2389 01:53:52.239 --> 01:53:55.359 ninety three Battle of Mogadishu war crimes. It says the 2390 01:53:55.600 --> 01:53:59.319 Battle of Mogadishu in nineteen ninety three involves significant civilian 2391 01:53:59.359 --> 01:54:03.359 casualty and raised concerns about potential war crimes, particularly the 2392 01:54:03.640 --> 01:54:07.319 particularly due to the actions of US forces and Somalia 2393 01:54:07.560 --> 01:54:12.199 or Somali militious The aftermath saw accusations of excessive force 2394 01:54:12.279 --> 01:54:16.279 and disregard for civilian safety, contributing to a complex legacy 2395 01:54:16.319 --> 01:54:17.039 of the conflict. 2396 01:54:17.760 --> 01:54:21.279 So that would be the war crimes civilian casualties. 2397 01:54:21.479 --> 01:54:24.720 That's a interesting So you mean, like in a conflict 2398 01:54:24.800 --> 01:54:28.239 zone there was civilians that were killed. 2399 01:54:29.800 --> 01:54:32.039 In excessive amounts. I think it's what they're trying to say. 2400 01:54:32.239 --> 01:54:34.119 And they're saying that that was done by us, not 2401 01:54:34.199 --> 01:54:36.319 the fact that they were killing their own people. The 2402 01:54:36.359 --> 01:54:38.640 warlord was starving his own people, they were using them 2403 01:54:38.640 --> 01:54:41.279 as human shields, all these things. But yeah, that was 2404 01:54:41.720 --> 01:54:44.319 Americans that killed too many civilians. 2405 01:54:44.399 --> 01:54:45.880 Okay, you realized like they. 2406 01:54:45.760 --> 01:54:48.199 Had nine year olds with fully automatic weapons that were 2407 01:54:48.199 --> 01:54:49.199 firing at our guys. 2408 01:54:50.199 --> 01:54:52.800 Like, what are we fucking talking about here? Now? I'm 2409 01:54:52.800 --> 01:54:54.359 not saying this at you. I'm saying that the people 2410 01:54:54.359 --> 01:54:58.159 that are gonna make these accusations like, Okay, what. 2411 01:54:58.720 --> 01:55:01.000 I'm gonna pull a Jacobism and just say I don't 2412 01:55:01.039 --> 01:55:05.600 be knowing. I'd just be Jonathan heard that. Fucking heard that, dude. 2413 01:55:06.159 --> 01:55:08.800 But yes, yeah, they're gonna do what they can to 2414 01:55:08.840 --> 01:55:11.039 put the American forces in the best life possible. 2415 01:55:11.079 --> 01:55:12.000 I'm not denying that. 2416 01:55:11.920 --> 01:55:16.640 Either, right right obviously, Like if you're you know, uh, 2417 01:55:16.800 --> 01:55:19.720 kind of supplying all the money and all of the 2418 01:55:20.239 --> 01:55:24.199 military equipment, you're not going to put in the spot 2419 01:55:24.199 --> 01:55:25.239 where you drop the ball. 2420 01:55:25.439 --> 01:55:25.680 Right. 2421 01:55:26.279 --> 01:55:28.720 There's very few movies that I can think of that 2422 01:55:29.199 --> 01:55:34.199 tried to show the reality of it and even showing 2423 01:55:34.199 --> 01:55:39.079 you the ugly bits you ever heard of the movie Platoon, Yeah, 2424 01:55:39.640 --> 01:55:41.800 Vietnam movie, right, Charlie Sheen was in it when he 2425 01:55:41.840 --> 01:55:44.600 was early, William Dafolk was in. As a matter of fact, 2426 01:55:45.600 --> 01:55:47.840 Force Whittaker was actually a lot of stars, A lot 2427 01:55:47.840 --> 01:55:52.159 of stars were in this movie that showed the Vietnam War. 2428 01:55:52.439 --> 01:55:54.640 And yes, I understand it was fictitious and all this 2429 01:55:54.680 --> 01:55:58.600 ba ba bab. It showed some Americans that were doing 2430 01:55:58.600 --> 01:56:01.439 the right thing, and it showed some Americans that were 2431 01:56:01.520 --> 01:56:05.840 absolutely doing the wrong thing, and that wasn't being done 2432 01:56:05.880 --> 01:56:06.960 as a recruitment tool. 2433 01:56:07.439 --> 01:56:08.600 You see what I'm saying. 2434 01:56:08.840 --> 01:56:11.560 Right right, Well, and that's the thing. Whenever you're funded. 2435 01:56:11.960 --> 01:56:14.520 I'm not saying that every single war movie ever created 2436 01:56:14.800 --> 01:56:16.960 was funded by the d D or anything, and maybe 2437 01:56:17.000 --> 01:56:18.479 that's a good example of one that wasn't. 2438 01:56:19.000 --> 01:56:21.960 But they also were using Huey's, they were using military equipment, 2439 01:56:22.000 --> 01:56:23.720 they were using all of these things. And like I 2440 01:56:23.760 --> 01:56:25.840 could understand that they did in fact have a little 2441 01:56:25.840 --> 01:56:29.039 bit of some liaisons or some uh you know, funding 2442 01:56:29.119 --> 01:56:31.840 from or or the approval of the d D for 2443 01:56:31.920 --> 01:56:34.600 certain sections of it, But I don't know. At the 2444 01:56:34.600 --> 01:56:36.439 same time, if that was the case, I don't know 2445 01:56:36.439 --> 01:56:38.199 if the d D would have signed off on every 2446 01:56:38.239 --> 01:56:41.239 aspect of it because like, uh, fuck, I forget the 2447 01:56:41.279 --> 01:56:43.680 actor's name all do with a cleft lip that played 2448 01:56:43.680 --> 01:56:47.960 in Sniper. He the guy who ended up killing William 2449 01:56:48.000 --> 01:56:53.239 Dafoe's character in it. But he he or Shooter, not Sniper. 2450 01:56:53.640 --> 01:56:56.000 Yeah no, it was Sniper. Yeah, Shooter was Marky Mark No, 2451 01:56:56.159 --> 01:57:00.600 this is the movie Sniper. He was a asid piece 2452 01:57:00.600 --> 01:57:03.359 of shit and he was the reason why William Dafoe's character, 2453 01:57:03.399 --> 01:57:06.079 who was an American soldier, was left and ended up 2454 01:57:06.079 --> 01:57:08.840 getting got later on. I have a hard time believing 2455 01:57:08.840 --> 01:57:10.239 the DD would have signed off on that. 2456 01:57:10.279 --> 01:57:14.600 Are you talking about Luke Grimes or Joaquin Phoenix? 2457 01:57:15.159 --> 01:57:18.399 No, no, no, not Joaquin Phoenix. Look up the movie Shooter. 2458 01:57:19.039 --> 01:57:21.359 He arned a sniper. Excuse me, Sniper. He was the 2459 01:57:21.399 --> 01:57:23.239 main character in that movie. And as soon as you 2460 01:57:23.279 --> 01:57:25.960 see his face, you're gonna know him. He played in 2461 01:57:26.000 --> 01:57:31.039 The Big Chill. Uh, he played in Fuck, He's played 2462 01:57:31.039 --> 01:57:32.479 in a bunch of movies. 2463 01:57:33.159 --> 01:57:34.640 Cannot remember his name. 2464 01:57:34.800 --> 01:57:37.760 Tom Behringer, Yeah, okay. 2465 01:57:38.039 --> 01:57:38.760 Yeah, that's the guy. 2466 01:57:38.840 --> 01:57:41.479 So I mean, his character is the reason why William Dafoe, 2467 01:57:41.760 --> 01:57:45.520 an American soldier, shot in another American soldier and then 2468 01:57:45.640 --> 01:57:47.560 left him to die and then he actually made it 2469 01:57:47.600 --> 01:57:50.840 back to the chopper, that whole that tragic scene with 2470 01:57:50.880 --> 01:57:53.600 one of the best musical scores in cinematic history in 2471 01:57:53.640 --> 01:57:54.199 my opinion. 2472 01:57:54.279 --> 01:57:56.920 But yeah, so that's what I'm saying. It kind of made. 2473 01:57:57.000 --> 01:57:58.880 And then they had the whole scene where those soldiers 2474 01:57:58.880 --> 01:58:01.720 were trying to rap those Vietnamese women. Charlie Sheen's character 2475 01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:03.319 goes in and tries to stop them, and it's a 2476 01:58:03.319 --> 01:58:06.039 whole thing. I have a hard time believing that that 2477 01:58:06.279 --> 01:58:07.960 was signed off on by the do O D. 2478 01:58:08.159 --> 01:58:10.840 But maybe it was. I don't know. 2479 01:58:12.399 --> 01:58:16.760 Mg Y Sgt. Is that Master Gunny sergeant. 2480 01:58:16.720 --> 01:58:17.960 Master gunnery sergeant?

The master sergeant has two rifles in 2490 01:58:44.920 --> 01:58:47.119 the middle. Sergeant first class is a diamond in the middle. 2491 01:58:47.359 --> 01:58:50.920 Sergeant first class or is a or first sergeant. 2492 01:58:50.960 --> 01:58:53.479 Excuse me. First sergeant is more of the administrative roles. 2493 01:58:53.520 --> 01:58:56.119 Like each company will have a company first sergeant, and 2494 01:58:56.199 --> 01:58:58.800 you'll have a battalion first sargeant or something like that. 2495 01:58:59.199 --> 01:59:00.560 Above that is sarge major. 2496 01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:03.560 You'll have a base sergeant major, you'll have a you know, 2497 01:59:03.720 --> 01:59:08.039 regimental sergeant, these types of things. Master sergeant and master 2498 01:59:08.079 --> 01:59:11.680 gunnery sergeants are dudes that stayed in their field, not 2499 01:59:11.840 --> 01:59:14.520 to the administrative role. But and there's only so many 2500 01:59:14.600 --> 01:59:17.079 moss that even have those ranks as a matter of fact, 2501 01:59:17.479 --> 01:59:20.680 So a master gun's got a bursting bomb in his rank, 2502 01:59:21.000 --> 01:59:24.199 and yeah, they're pretty much seen as subject matter experts 2503 01:59:24.239 --> 01:59:26.000 in their field, whatever that field may be. 2504 01:59:27.239 --> 01:59:29.039 This is why I wanted to do this show today 2505 01:59:29.079 --> 01:59:31.680 because I knew that you would know all this terminology. 2506 01:59:31.680 --> 01:59:33.720 I knew that you would see you've seen most of 2507 01:59:33.720 --> 01:59:36.159 these movies to be able to like depict them in 2508 01:59:36.199 --> 01:59:37.560 the way that they need to be. 2509 01:59:38.720 --> 01:59:39.640 So that's pretty cool. 2510 01:59:39.720 --> 01:59:39.880 You know. 2511 01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:43.399 What's interesting is is that this show was destined to 2512 01:59:43.479 --> 01:59:46.039 have a marine on it because even hat like my 2513 01:59:46.119 --> 01:59:47.560 original co host was a marine. 2514 01:59:48.079 --> 01:59:50.920 Yeah that's true, that's true. It just kind of works 2515 01:59:50.920 --> 01:59:51.680 out that way, brother. 2516 01:59:52.159 --> 01:59:52.920 It was destiny. 2517 01:59:54.520 --> 01:59:57.319 Nextly, We Have Lone Survivor came out in twenty thirteen. 2518 01:59:57.359 --> 01:59:59.800 The branches involved with the US Navy, the Navy Seals, 2519 01:59:59.800 --> 02:00:02.880 and the DoD This film is based on Marcus Lttrell's 2520 02:00:02.920 --> 02:00:06.359 real accounts of a failed seal mission in Afghanistan, and 2521 02:00:06.439 --> 02:00:09.640 the US Navy was deeply embedded in its production. Navy 2522 02:00:09.680 --> 02:00:14.239 Seals consulted on the combat choreography, and the Department of 2523 02:00:14.239 --> 02:00:17.119 Defense worked with the filmmakers to ensure that the portrayal 2524 02:00:17.199 --> 02:00:21.319 of soldiers emphasized honor, bravery, and brotherhood even in the 2525 02:00:21.319 --> 02:00:25.760 face of death. The military's presence on set wasn't just logistical, 2526 02:00:25.880 --> 02:00:29.680 it was editorial at a subconscious level. Lone Survivor evokes 2527 02:00:29.680 --> 02:00:34.159 themes of loyalty over logic. The enemy is again mostly faceless, 2528 02:00:34.199 --> 02:00:37.600 with no political nuance or backstory, and the takeaway is 2529 02:00:37.720 --> 02:00:42.479 America's warriors are superhuman patriots, betrayed only by the terrain 2530 02:00:42.680 --> 02:00:46.319 or bad luck, not poor planning or questionable motives. It 2531 02:00:46.399 --> 02:00:51.640 reinforces the never questioned the mission mentality just praise the troops. 2532 02:00:52.920 --> 02:01:00.000 Damn So that being said, Marcus Latrell has also been 2533 02:01:00.079 --> 02:01:05.359 and heavily heavily scrutinized for some of the things that 2534 02:01:05.479 --> 02:01:07.399 was in that movie. As a matter of fact, I'm 2535 02:01:07.439 --> 02:01:09.079 go ahead and share the screen again. We got a 2536 02:01:09.079 --> 02:01:12.039 little short clip talking about Marcus Latrol being exposed. 2537 02:01:13.079 --> 02:01:13.960 This isn't Jacob. 2538 02:01:14.600 --> 02:01:18.439 I'm not saying this, but he even admitted that Loan 2539 02:01:18.560 --> 02:01:21.680 Survivor was fabricated by the US Navy four recruitment. Those 2540 02:01:21.720 --> 02:01:24.520 are his words, not Jacob's. Okay, so like we're just 2541 02:01:24.560 --> 02:01:27.319 gonna keep it. One thought, Wow, that's a fact. 2542 02:01:27.399 --> 02:01:29.880 He started screaming my name. He was like, Marcus Man, 2543 02:01:29.880 --> 02:01:32.600 you gotta help me. I need help Marcus. That it 2544 02:01:32.720 --> 02:01:36.039 got so intense that I actually put my weapon down 2545 02:01:36.079 --> 02:01:39.159 and covered my ears because I couldn't stand to hear 2546 02:01:39.239 --> 02:01:41.319 him die. All I want him to do is start 2547 02:01:41.359 --> 02:01:43.880 screaming my name. They killed him, and I put my 2548 02:01:43.920 --> 02:01:46.159 webon down in a gunfight while my best friend was 2549 02:01:46.159 --> 02:01:48.520 getting killed. So that pretty much makes me a. 2550 02:01:48.439 --> 02:01:49.119 Coward, you know. 2551 02:01:49.199 --> 02:01:52.279 Even in his own words on Anderson Cooper he says 2552 02:01:52.720 --> 02:01:56.319 that he heard Murph yelling his name that he needs help. 2553 02:01:56.399 --> 02:01:56.560 You know. 2554 02:01:56.640 --> 02:01:59.760 On Anderson Cooper Live, I put my gun down, covered 2555 02:01:59.800 --> 02:02:02.600 up my and I quit right then, I'm a coward. 2556 02:02:02.720 --> 02:02:05.880 He left his buddies and quit and ran, So he 2557 02:02:06.039 --> 02:02:09.279 wasn't in this dire straits and he wasn't crawling for 2558 02:02:09.319 --> 02:02:11.800 seven miles like in the book. In the movie, this 2559 02:02:11.840 --> 02:02:14.279 book was written for him to change the narrative because 2560 02:02:14.279 --> 02:02:15.439 it was embarrassing for us. 2561 02:02:15.720 --> 02:02:17.920 He was given an ultimatum, just like, do you. 2562 02:02:17.840 --> 02:02:20.319 Want to be known as the seal who quit running 2563 02:02:20.319 --> 02:02:23.439 away and left his buddies or do you want to 2564 02:02:23.479 --> 02:02:26.039 be a millionaire? And he chose that I'm going to 2565 02:02:26.119 --> 02:02:26.800 be a millionaire. 2566 02:02:27.239 --> 02:02:28.000 Wow. 2567 02:02:28.880 --> 02:02:32.039 So again, I'm not trying to throw shade. I wasn't 2568 02:02:32.039 --> 02:02:35.079 there straight like I met if I ever met Marcus 2569 02:02:35.119 --> 02:02:36.960 Latreull in person, Like, It's not like I would have 2570 02:02:37.000 --> 02:02:40.399 any disrespect to throw his way. Okay, but that being said, 2571 02:02:41.399 --> 02:02:45.199 he even admitted in multiple podcasts that the entire story 2572 02:02:45.479 --> 02:02:50.039 was basically written for him and he has fucked up 2573 02:02:50.079 --> 02:02:52.600 on a couple of interviews and said things that go 2574 02:02:52.680 --> 02:02:55.039 against what the book and movie said. 2575 02:02:55.119 --> 02:02:56.840 Tommy, take that for what you want. 2576 02:02:57.439 --> 02:03:02.720 Wow, that is crazy. They they literally changed the entire story, 2577 02:03:03.640 --> 02:03:05.720 not the entirety. 2578 02:03:05.880 --> 02:03:08.760 There's sections of it that they kept true according to 2579 02:03:08.920 --> 02:03:09.880 the research that I've. 2580 02:03:09.720 --> 02:03:10.119 Done on it. 2581 02:03:10.199 --> 02:03:13.159 Okay, like yes, they absolutely did catch those kids or 2582 02:03:13.199 --> 02:03:15.479 the boy or whatever that was herding goats or whatever 2583 02:03:15.560 --> 02:03:18.800 the case was, and they did let him go, which 2584 02:03:18.880 --> 02:03:22.199 did kickstart all the bad stuff. The guys that got 2585 02:03:22.199 --> 02:03:25.399 got they in the order of which they fell, that 2586 02:03:25.479 --> 02:03:25.960 kind of thing. 2587 02:03:26.039 --> 02:03:28.640 I think they kept this true to form, how. 2588 02:03:28.520 --> 02:03:31.439 He got out of there, the locals that helped him 2589 02:03:31.520 --> 02:03:35.399 escape and all this, like, yes, that that played out 2590 02:03:35.680 --> 02:03:40.600 similar to the story. But again there's there's controversy start 2591 02:03:40.600 --> 02:03:43.199 to finish basically, and that only has come out years 2592 02:03:43.359 --> 02:03:46.680 after the fact. Same with Tim Kennedy, Right, he's all 2593 02:03:46.720 --> 02:03:48.880 over the news and he's seeing as always a Green Beret, 2594 02:03:49.000 --> 02:03:51.079 he did this and this. There's one story he's got 2595 02:03:51.079 --> 02:03:53.399 where he had like thirty hand grenades in a bag 2596 02:03:53.439 --> 02:03:55.279 and he was just going, he was just throwing him everywhere. 2597 02:03:55.319 --> 02:03:58.560 But Pump and people that were on the operation with 2598 02:03:58.680 --> 02:04:00.880 him have come forward and said, you are so full 2599 02:04:00.920 --> 02:04:03.680 of shit. You weren't even in the location that you 2600 02:04:03.720 --> 02:04:06.640 said you were when this took place. You never had 2601 02:04:06.680 --> 02:04:09.039 a bag with thirty fucking handger needs. 2602 02:04:08.760 --> 02:04:09.720 And that's bullshit. 2603 02:04:09.840 --> 02:04:14.359 And it's yeah, man, that's a part of it. And 2604 02:04:14.399 --> 02:04:18.159 this is not Jacob throwing shade. This is them saying 2605 02:04:18.279 --> 02:04:20.720 things that they got caught up in after the fact. 2606 02:04:21.199 --> 02:04:22.119 You know what's interesting. 2607 02:04:22.199 --> 02:04:25.840 I was just looking up it was Loan like, obviously 2608 02:04:25.960 --> 02:04:28.960 these movies are as we would know them based on 2609 02:04:29.039 --> 02:04:32.920 true stories, right, based on yeah, right, And that's what 2610 02:04:32.960 --> 02:04:35.079 I just typed in. I was like, was Loan Survivor 2611 02:04:35.119 --> 02:04:37.279 based on a true story? It says, yes, Loan Survivor 2612 02:04:37.359 --> 02:04:39.479 is based on the true story of Operation Red Wings, 2613 02:04:39.720 --> 02:04:42.479 failed Navy seal mission. So then I was like, you 2614 02:04:42.520 --> 02:04:45.119 know what, I wonder what percentage of a movie has 2615 02:04:45.239 --> 02:04:47.319 to be true to be based on a true story. 2616 02:04:48.960 --> 02:04:52.039 It says there's no legal or official percentage of truth 2617 02:04:52.079 --> 02:04:54.479 required for a movie to claim that it's based on 2618 02:04:54.560 --> 02:04:58.039 a true story. The phrase is incredibly flexible and often 2619 02:04:58.159 --> 02:05:01.199 use more as a marketing tool than a factual guarantee. 2620 02:05:01.520 --> 02:05:05.239 So based on a true story versus inspired by true 2621 02:05:05.279 --> 02:05:06.319 events kind of shit. 2622 02:05:06.439 --> 02:05:08.279 Yes, based on. 2623 02:05:08.239 --> 02:05:10.840 A true story suggests that the core narrative of the 2624 02:05:10.880 --> 02:05:15.359 main character or events actually happened, and inspired by true 2625 02:05:15.399 --> 02:05:20.680 events allow for much more creative license. Maybe just one 2626 02:05:20.800 --> 02:05:24.079 event or idea sparked the whole movie, so there's not 2627 02:05:24.199 --> 02:05:27.680 any set percentage. It says studios aren't required to meet 2628 02:05:27.720 --> 02:05:31.039 a specific threshold like fifty one percent factual accuracy to 2629 02:05:31.119 --> 02:05:34.079 use the label. Some movies might be ninety percent true 2630 02:05:34.079 --> 02:05:36.399 to the real story, while others might be only ten 2631 02:05:36.439 --> 02:05:39.600 percent accurate, with characters, timelines, or outcomes changed for the 2632 02:05:40.159 --> 02:05:40.960 dramatic effect. 2633 02:05:42.199 --> 02:05:42.760 Oh my god. 2634 02:05:42.840 --> 02:05:45.159 Then it goes into certain examples of this. So the 2635 02:05:45.199 --> 02:05:49.399 Texas Chainsaw Massacre was marketed as based on a true story, 2636 02:05:49.600 --> 02:05:53.640 but it was very loosely inspired by ed Gain Gain Gain, 2637 02:05:53.680 --> 02:05:57.039 how do you say that? Again, more fiction than fact. 2638 02:05:57.279 --> 02:05:59.159 Another one is Catching Me If you Can. That's a 2639 02:05:59.199 --> 02:06:02.199 really good movie, but Catch Me if you Can is 2640 02:06:02.279 --> 02:06:06.560 more faithful to Frank Abagnail's real life, though still dramatized 2641 02:06:06.600 --> 02:06:09.680 in parts. And then you got the conjuring claims to 2642 02:06:09.720 --> 02:06:12.279 be based on true events, but many details are highly 2643 02:06:12.279 --> 02:06:13.800 disputed or unverifiable. 2644 02:06:13.880 --> 02:06:18.439 Obviously, think about this. Pearl Harbor is based on true events. 2645 02:06:19.119 --> 02:06:22.119 The Japanese did attack Pearl Harbor, that did take place. 2646 02:06:22.600 --> 02:06:25.760 All this shit would Ben Afleck and his love interests 2647 02:06:25.800 --> 02:06:27.840 and all this other shit that's not true. 2648 02:06:28.279 --> 02:06:30.640 But that's like the entirety of the movie. 2649 02:06:30.720 --> 02:06:35.840 Like the actual attack itself is the antagonist if you will. 2650 02:06:36.199 --> 02:06:38.439 But that's not like what the movie was about. 2651 02:06:39.319 --> 02:06:40.119 You see what I'm saying. 2652 02:06:40.159 --> 02:06:43.279 It's but it's still classified as based on true events, 2653 02:06:43.600 --> 02:06:46.119 so it's yeah, it's very murky, very very murky. 2654 02:06:47.039 --> 02:06:49.439 Nextly, we have ACTI Valor came out in twenty twelve. 2655 02:06:49.479 --> 02:06:52.279 The branch involved was the US Navy Seals. Act of 2656 02:06:52.359 --> 02:06:55.840 Valor blurred the line between fiction and reality. It was 2657 02:06:55.920 --> 02:06:59.840 shot with real Navy Seals playing themselves. This wasn't just 2658 02:07:00.039 --> 02:07:03.960 military approved, it was military produced. The Navy used the 2659 02:07:03.960 --> 02:07:07.279 film as a recruitment tool in demonstration of elite training. 2660 02:07:07.479 --> 02:07:10.159 It's not a story about war. It's one hundred and 2661 02:07:10.239 --> 02:07:13.720 ten minute live action promotional video for the Seals, complete 2662 02:07:13.760 --> 02:07:17.640 with missions gear and patriotic sound bites. Subconsciously, the film 2663 02:07:17.680 --> 02:07:21.520 is almost hypnotic. The lack of character development or emotion 2664 02:07:21.960 --> 02:07:25.239 and the Seals isn't a flaw. It's the point. They're 2665 02:07:25.279 --> 02:07:30.079 portrayed as emotionless efficient machines of justice. The message the 2666 02:07:30.159 --> 02:07:34.640 message is emotion Cloud's duty. The clear intent was to 2667 02:07:34.720 --> 02:07:38.199 recruit young men who fantasize about joining an elite force 2668 02:07:38.479 --> 02:07:42.640 and to deify the military ideal of total discipline and sacrifice. 2669 02:07:43.359 --> 02:07:44.039 Wow. 2670 02:07:44.119 --> 02:07:48.199 So with that being said, the missions that were on 2671 02:07:48.439 --> 02:07:52.279 that movie are based off of real missions, right, and 2672 02:07:52.319 --> 02:07:56.039 these are things that can be maybe not fully disclosed about, 2673 02:07:56.039 --> 02:07:58.479 like the actual locations of the actual bad guys or 2674 02:07:58.479 --> 02:07:59.319 any of these things. 2675 02:07:59.319 --> 02:07:59.880 That's fine. 2676 02:08:00.560 --> 02:08:03.720 But as far as like finding a bomb maker who 2677 02:08:03.760 --> 02:08:06.640 was trying to do a terrorist plot in America, like that, 2678 02:08:06.640 --> 02:08:09.399 that is a real operation that did take place, right, cool, 2679 02:08:09.520 --> 02:08:09.920 got it? 2680 02:08:10.760 --> 02:08:15.479 Using actual seals as the actors a bit of a 2681 02:08:15.479 --> 02:08:19.359 big swing and a miss because they sucked like it 2682 02:08:19.439 --> 02:08:22.279 sounded like they were literally reading their lines off of paper, 2683 02:08:22.640 --> 02:08:26.159 lights camera action, reading my lines off of paper like 2684 02:08:26.199 --> 02:08:29.079 there was no there was no actual emotion with it. 2685 02:08:29.119 --> 02:08:31.000 And like I understand that. They may say that was 2686 02:08:31.039 --> 02:08:35.439 the point, dude. Mixing in some actors would have made 2687 02:08:35.439 --> 02:08:38.840 the movie go so much better by all sense, but 2688 02:08:38.920 --> 02:08:41.239 they just they didn't do that, And this is what 2689 02:08:41.319 --> 02:08:42.880 you do. This is what you get when you don't 2690 02:08:43.000 --> 02:08:47.319 use actors for acting. They were just memorizing lines and 2691 02:08:47.359 --> 02:08:49.399 repeating them and like that was a thing and that 2692 02:08:49.479 --> 02:08:53.239 it's it's okay, but yeah, it was based off of 2693 02:08:53.840 --> 02:08:57.920 things that took place, operations that they could disclose for 2694 02:08:57.920 --> 02:08:59.039 for the most part anyway. 2695 02:09:00.680 --> 02:09:05.439 And yeah, so here's here's my problem with it. You're 2696 02:09:05.479 --> 02:09:09.199 trying to recruit guys to join the Navy Seals. Okay 2697 02:09:09.279 --> 02:09:15.000 with that, The recent study showed that seventy percent of 2698 02:09:15.079 --> 02:09:19.159 military aged males in this country couldn't make it in 2699 02:09:19.199 --> 02:09:22.920 the military if they wanted to, because they are overweight, 2700 02:09:23.520 --> 02:09:27.079 because they have some sort of chemical imbalance, because they're 2701 02:09:27.159 --> 02:09:31.520 problems something some they're on the spectrum in some way 2702 02:09:31.840 --> 02:09:35.880 whatever you want to call it, well that or it's 2703 02:09:35.880 --> 02:09:37.800 just people that are claiming that they have X, Y 2704 02:09:37.840 --> 02:09:40.600 and Z. I have anxiety issues and I have since 2705 02:09:40.640 --> 02:09:44.039 I was four, and it's like, well, you can't join 2706 02:09:44.039 --> 02:09:45.760 the military, but I really wanna. 2707 02:09:45.960 --> 02:09:48.800 It's like you you've played the victim your whole life. 2708 02:09:48.880 --> 02:09:50.439 Would you think was gonna happen? My boy? 2709 02:09:51.520 --> 02:09:52.920 Go meditate, that's all you needed to do. 2710 02:09:53.640 --> 02:09:59.279 It's realistically, seventy percent could not meet the standard right now. 2711 02:09:59.319 --> 02:10:02.720 I've just run and push ups right now if they 2712 02:10:02.760 --> 02:10:04.359 had to. And I'm not saying you need to be 2713 02:10:04.359 --> 02:10:07.720 able to run a fucking six minute two mile or 2714 02:10:07.760 --> 02:10:11.279 some wild shit like that, like running two miles and 2715 02:10:11.359 --> 02:10:12.119 twenty minutes. 2716 02:10:12.880 --> 02:10:15.600 That is that is really easy to do. We're talking 2717 02:10:15.680 --> 02:10:17.439 ten minutes per mile. 2718 02:10:18.600 --> 02:10:22.119 Most people, most military age males in this country could 2719 02:10:22.159 --> 02:10:23.439 not do that right now if they had too. 2720 02:10:23.840 --> 02:10:26.359 What did you run your mile in? Like seven mile? 2721 02:10:26.439 --> 02:10:27.960 Oh and the Marines we run three miles. 2722 02:10:28.279 --> 02:10:30.279 Okay, so how long in three miles? 2723 02:10:30.600 --> 02:10:32.960 My best time was twenty one to fifty, so about 2724 02:10:33.000 --> 02:10:35.800 seven thirty excuse me? So yeah, but I mean my 2725 02:10:36.000 --> 02:10:38.600 mile time was pretty dope, but I got slower as. 2726 02:10:38.479 --> 02:10:40.039 The mile went on, you know what I'm saying, But 2727 02:10:40.119 --> 02:10:40.479 as you do. 2728 02:10:41.199 --> 02:10:43.760 Yeah, my best like mile time I think in my 2729 02:10:43.960 --> 02:10:47.720 life was around like a six six minute, six ten 2730 02:10:47.960 --> 02:10:48.720 something like that. 2731 02:10:48.800 --> 02:10:50.920 But it wasn't I wasn't sprinting that mile. I'm a 2732 02:10:50.960 --> 02:10:53.439 distance runner. I'm not a short runner, and I could 2733 02:10:53.439 --> 02:10:56.800 consider a one mile a very short run like it. 2734 02:10:56.800 --> 02:10:59.399 It's not it's not hard to do four laps around 2735 02:10:59.399 --> 02:10:59.760 a track. 2736 02:11:00.560 --> 02:11:03.119 Oh dude, we're exact opposites in that. I can give 2737 02:11:03.159 --> 02:11:06.760 you literally fucking lightning speed well back whenever I was 2738 02:11:06.800 --> 02:11:09.520 playing football and stuff. But I could I could run 2739 02:11:09.560 --> 02:11:12.239 fastest shit for a good forty meters That's about it, 2740 02:11:12.439 --> 02:11:16.000 you know, But anything longer than that, I am yeaess dude, 2741 02:11:16.039 --> 02:11:18.439 Like don't. And that's why I love football because and 2742 02:11:18.439 --> 02:11:21.199 people would say like, how, how have you never been 2743 02:11:21.239 --> 02:11:23.640 able to because I always talk about how like my my, 2744 02:11:24.880 --> 02:11:25.760 oh shit, what is it? 2745 02:11:25.800 --> 02:11:26.199 Cardio? 2746 02:11:26.520 --> 02:11:28.640 My cardio has always been terrible. And they're like, well, 2747 02:11:28.640 --> 02:11:31.439 you played football for so long. But I'm like, the 2748 02:11:31.520 --> 02:11:33.880 thing is is that a football play lasts about three 2749 02:11:34.000 --> 02:11:36.479 or four seconds and then you get a thirty or 2750 02:11:36.520 --> 02:11:40.279 forty second break afterward. You know, I'm good in short spurts, 2751 02:11:40.279 --> 02:11:41.760 but you get me like, there's no way I can 2752 02:11:41.800 --> 02:11:44.720 play fucking soccer, Like fuck that running? 2753 02:11:44.920 --> 02:11:45.840 No way, right. 2754 02:11:46.000 --> 02:11:48.159 The fastest I've ever seen I do run three miles 2755 02:11:48.199 --> 02:11:52.079 myself is fifteen minutes, three miles and fifteen minutes. But 2756 02:11:52.119 --> 02:11:55.640 this dude, he was a Native American and he grew 2757 02:11:55.720 --> 02:11:57.439 up on the reds, and the way his family earned 2758 02:11:57.439 --> 02:12:00.399 their money was they would run down wild horses every 2759 02:12:00.479 --> 02:12:03.000 day from the time he and now on ATVs on 2760 02:12:03.119 --> 02:12:05.000 foot because they were broke. They were on the riz 2761 02:12:05.600 --> 02:12:08.399 and they would wake up every morning and run down 2762 02:12:08.479 --> 02:12:10.560 a pack of wild horses until one of them got tired, 2763 02:12:10.600 --> 02:12:12.159 throw a rope around its neck, and then bring it 2764 02:12:12.199 --> 02:12:14.039 back so it could be broken by another group. But 2765 02:12:14.079 --> 02:12:16.439 he and his family, him, his dad, and his brothers. 2766 02:12:16.520 --> 02:12:21.840 Every day on foot would run down wild horses. Sometimes 2767 02:12:21.840 --> 02:12:24.680 that would take hours to do. So he was like, wait, 2768 02:12:24.800 --> 02:12:27.960 only three miles, Oh, no problem, bro. He ran three 2769 02:12:28.000 --> 02:12:30.680 miles in fifteen minutes. He wasn't sweating or out of 2770 02:12:30.720 --> 02:12:31.680 breath by the end of it. 2771 02:12:31.960 --> 02:12:34.199 He was chilling. This was This wasn't even a warm 2772 02:12:34.279 --> 02:12:36.079 up for him. And I'm like, fuck you, dude. 2773 02:12:36.079 --> 02:12:38.279 Some people were just fucking built different. Stamina was the 2774 02:12:38.279 --> 02:12:39.760 word I was looking for. I couldn't spit it out 2775 02:12:39.760 --> 02:12:40.239 for some reason. 2776 02:12:40.279 --> 02:12:41.359 But yeah, yeah, yeah. 2777 02:12:41.199 --> 02:12:42.920 Not knowing for the stamina by any means. 2778 02:12:43.000 --> 02:12:46.159 I mean, I'm sprints, I've never been terrible at But 2779 02:12:46.560 --> 02:12:49.520 if you are looking for like my strongest attribute, yeah, 2780 02:12:49.600 --> 02:12:51.840 no distance runing, but even still do you could go 2781 02:12:51.920 --> 02:12:55.319 for a light yog for the four laps around a 2782 02:12:55.399 --> 02:12:57.359 track and still be fine. 2783 02:12:57.800 --> 02:12:59.640 Like you could you could jog around. 2784 02:13:00.000 --> 02:13:04.239 We won mile in under ten minutes accidentally at a 2785 02:13:04.279 --> 02:13:07.159 decent walking pace, you know what I'm saying. So it's 2786 02:13:07.159 --> 02:13:11.000 like to say that seventy percent of seventeen to thirty 2787 02:13:11.039 --> 02:13:14.600 year olds in America couldn't accomplish that task right off 2788 02:13:14.640 --> 02:13:19.760 the rip or crank out forty push ups. That that's insane, 2789 02:13:19.840 --> 02:13:22.520 that that's something that like most college kids could not 2790 02:13:22.680 --> 02:13:23.399 do right now. 2791 02:13:23.439 --> 02:13:26.119 It's like, bro, what, dude, I used to be able 2792 02:13:26.159 --> 02:13:27.520 to run a four to six back in the day, 2793 02:13:27.560 --> 02:13:28.840 which is fast for a white boy. 2794 02:13:28.960 --> 02:13:30.359 I just want to throw that out there. They ain't. 2795 02:13:30.399 --> 02:13:33.640 That ain't fast by you know, extreme athletes or anything. 2796 02:13:33.680 --> 02:13:36.319 But for me, I was like, damn for six, all right, baby, 2797 02:13:36.560 --> 02:13:38.680 But I mean, you get me on a mile track 2798 02:13:38.920 --> 02:13:41.680 and I'll that'll be a ten minute for me. Dude, Like, 2799 02:13:41.720 --> 02:13:44.199 there's just a fucking way I don't have the daminaugh 2800 02:13:44.199 --> 02:13:44.399 for that. 2801 02:13:45.039 --> 02:13:47.640 But the point for all of what we're talking about here, yeah, 2802 02:13:47.680 --> 02:13:50.600 a recruitment tool for the Navy Seals. I get it, Okay, 2803 02:13:51.319 --> 02:13:54.960 No one doesn't know who they are, right The people 2804 02:13:55.079 --> 02:13:59.159 that fantasize about joining them one day are going to try. 2805 02:13:59.439 --> 02:14:01.600 I forget what the attrition rate is, but I think 2806 02:14:01.640 --> 02:14:04.680 it's like eighty percent of guys that go through BUDS 2807 02:14:04.760 --> 02:14:08.840 do not make it. Through BUDS is basic underwater demolition school. 2808 02:14:08.880 --> 02:14:11.000 That's the first realm of trying to become a seal. 2809 02:14:11.079 --> 02:14:12.800 You join the Navy, you go through boot camp, then 2810 02:14:12.800 --> 02:14:13.479 you go to BUDS. 2811 02:14:14.079 --> 02:14:16.279 So like BUDDS was the Buddy program where you go 2812 02:14:16.319 --> 02:14:17.800 in with like your friend or whatever. 2813 02:14:18.279 --> 02:14:20.439 That's a different thing. Every branch has their version of 2814 02:14:20.439 --> 02:14:23.479 the Buddy program. But BUDS as a school is basic 2815 02:14:23.560 --> 02:14:26.159 underwater demolition school. So that's the ones where you see 2816 02:14:26.199 --> 02:14:29.439 the guys running on the beaches with the boats on 2817 02:14:29.520 --> 02:14:30.039 their heads. 2818 02:14:30.159 --> 02:14:32.359 Goggins al who's going to carry the boats? 2819 02:14:32.560 --> 02:14:37.800 That that's BUDS program, right, and most the vast majority, 2820 02:14:37.800 --> 02:14:40.119 now I mean Green Berets, they have a success rate 2821 02:14:40.239 --> 02:14:42.600 of I think three percent. So out of one hundred 2822 02:14:42.680 --> 02:14:45.439 dudes that are going through Green Beret training, three of 2823 02:14:45.479 --> 02:14:49.560 them might get a Green Beret at the end of it. Yeah, 2824 02:14:49.560 --> 02:14:51.560 I think the Seals are like I want to say, 2825 02:14:51.600 --> 02:14:53.359 it's like fifteen to twenty percent. It's been a while 2826 02:14:53.359 --> 02:14:55.800 since I lived to the statistics, but yeah, so, I 2827 02:14:55.840 --> 02:14:57.880 mean the guys that are already wanting to do that 2828 02:14:58.319 --> 02:15:02.479 are going to already shoot their sh The movie probably 2829 02:15:02.520 --> 02:15:03.880 helped the Navy's recruitment. 2830 02:15:03.920 --> 02:15:06.279 But that's the other thing too. You might sign up 2831 02:15:06.279 --> 02:15:08.560 to go to Seals, but if you fail out of school, 2832 02:15:08.720 --> 02:15:10.720 you don't get kicked out of the Navy. You get 2833 02:15:10.720 --> 02:15:12.800 sent to some other school. Now you're a supply guy 2834 02:15:13.600 --> 02:15:16.239 or a logistics guy, or maybe you do get n 2835 02:15:16.359 --> 02:15:17.119 P or something. 2836 02:15:17.119 --> 02:15:19.279 Who knows, right well, the fucking recruiter will tell you 2837 02:15:19.359 --> 02:15:22.279 can get any job you want right right basically. 2838 02:15:22.479 --> 02:15:23.039 And that's the thing. 2839 02:15:23.079 --> 02:15:25.560 Whenever you you have to sign up, whenever you do 2840 02:15:25.720 --> 02:15:28.479 join the Navy and go to Seals training, you sign 2841 02:15:28.600 --> 02:15:32.199 up for buds, right, that's the contractor signing. But then 2842 02:15:32.279 --> 02:15:35.760 underneath that you have a secondary option just in case. 2843 02:15:35.800 --> 02:15:37.319 And of course you're you're totally gonna make it, bro, 2844 02:15:37.399 --> 02:15:39.199 you're already no. I could tell by looking at you 2845 02:15:39.199 --> 02:15:41.560 you're gonna be a seal, but just in case something happens, 2846 02:15:41.840 --> 02:15:44.119 what's another job you might want to do. That's that's 2847 02:15:44.119 --> 02:15:45.960 probably gonna be the job you get a sign. 2848 02:15:46.039 --> 02:15:48.119 I know seals, trust me, and I'm looking at one 2849 02:15:48.199 --> 02:15:50.600 right here. 2850 02:15:52.319 --> 02:15:54.079 Oh yeah, I've been playing Call of Duty since I 2851 02:15:54.199 --> 02:15:55.840 was like ten, so I think I'm just pretty much 2852 02:15:55.880 --> 02:15:58.439 ready for this right now. It's like, boy, I believe 2853 02:15:58.479 --> 02:15:59.760 you here, sign this contract? 2854 02:16:00.000 --> 02:16:01.960 Did you get a fifty on your as VAB You're 2855 02:16:01.960 --> 02:16:04.199 fucking good? I mean whatever you Oh my god. 2856 02:16:04.800 --> 02:16:08.600 That's another thing, dude. People underestimate the ASVAB scores. Yeah, 2857 02:16:08.640 --> 02:16:10.920 passing it depending on the branch. You're going into the 2858 02:16:10.920 --> 02:16:12.640 Marines for a while, we're only taking like I think 2859 02:16:12.680 --> 02:16:14.479 it was a twenty seven, and they would take you. 2860 02:16:14.560 --> 02:16:16.760 Now granted there was like two jobs you could do 2861 02:16:16.800 --> 02:16:18.880 once you got through it, but yeah, one of them 2862 02:16:18.920 --> 02:16:19.279 was grunt. 2863 02:16:19.319 --> 02:16:21.279 I might add Army is way lower too, isn't it. 2864 02:16:22.079 --> 02:16:25.840 Marines had the as the lowest. Oh really, yeah, where. 2865 02:16:25.920 --> 02:16:27.960 That's why we're known as the crayon eaters. We're not 2866 02:16:28.039 --> 02:16:30.119 known for our intelligence. But I will say some of 2867 02:16:30.119 --> 02:16:32.440 the smartest dudes ever met were actually in the Marine 2868 02:16:32.440 --> 02:16:33.000 Corps Infantry. 2869 02:16:33.000 --> 02:16:34.079 But that's a different conversation. 2870 02:16:34.159 --> 02:16:37.520 But so the Air Force has the highest, actually probably 2871 02:16:37.520 --> 02:16:39.799 Space Force has the highest as of this moment, like 2872 02:16:40.079 --> 02:16:42.520 bottom tier level. If you don't make this, then you're 2873 02:16:42.559 --> 02:16:45.360 not even we're not even looking at you for further review. 2874 02:16:46.000 --> 02:16:48.440 But the Seals, Yeah, you don't just have to pass it. 2875 02:16:48.520 --> 02:16:51.200 You have to pass in certain regards and in certain criteria. 2876 02:16:51.280 --> 02:16:54.239 So it's not just your overall score, your GT score 2877 02:16:54.360 --> 02:16:56.520 or you're like what's called your general competence or whatever 2878 02:16:56.520 --> 02:16:58.719 it's called that needs to be I want to say, 2879 02:16:58.760 --> 02:17:02.159 it's like over a over a one oh five or 2880 02:17:02.159 --> 02:17:04.639 something like that to even apply to the school.

I 2883 02:17:08.559 --> 02:17:10.760 could have gone to a bunch of different schools, but 2884 02:17:10.799 --> 02:17:13.399 I wanted infantry. I think I had a sixty nine 2885 02:17:13.479 --> 02:17:15.280 overall or something along those lines. 2886 02:17:15.319 --> 02:17:16.639 But yeah, it's. 2887 02:17:17.079 --> 02:17:18.799 It's just one of those things that like, yeah, even 2888 02:17:18.799 --> 02:17:21.639 if you are stud physically, if you can't pass the 2889 02:17:21.799 --> 02:17:24.879 very basics of this test, then like you also can't apply. 2890 02:17:25.319 --> 02:17:27.719 Like that's that it takes a lot to get in, 2891 02:17:28.200 --> 02:17:30.479 and that's the thing everybody thinks, Oh, if all else fails, 2892 02:17:30.520 --> 02:17:33.239 just go join the military, which used to be seen 2893 02:17:33.319 --> 02:17:36.399 as apologies to all of our female listeners. 2894 02:17:36.600 --> 02:17:38.719 Bear with me.

Right now, you've seen me multiple times. 2944 02:19:35.120 --> 02:19:37.479 I have no issues doing public speaking. In fact, some 2945 02:19:37.520 --> 02:19:38.120 would say I. 2946 02:19:38.040 --> 02:19:39.159 Thrive in that environment. 2947 02:19:39.719 --> 02:19:42.879 Certain people like that's a real like fear that they have, 2948 02:19:43.040 --> 02:19:45.239 And I understand this.

Holy fuck. 2967 02:20:30.399 --> 02:20:32.559 Speaking of the military, let's get to the next movie, 2968 02:20:32.639 --> 02:20:34.760 and that is The hurt Locker came out in twenty 2969 02:20:35.040 --> 02:20:38.600 two thousand and eight. The branches involved, or the branch involved, 2970 02:20:38.639 --> 02:20:42.360 was the US Army. Although not as closely tied to 2971 02:20:42.399 --> 02:20:45.440 the Pentagon as others, the hurt Lockers still receive logistical 2972 02:20:45.479 --> 02:20:47.879 support from the military and was allowed to shoot on 2973 02:20:47.879 --> 02:20:51.879 some of the US military basis. It follows an EOD 2974 02:20:52.159 --> 02:20:56.719 explosive ordnance disposable which you brought up unit in Iraq, 2975 02:20:56.840 --> 02:20:59.920 focusing on the psychological tool of war. While it flirt 2976 02:21:00.200 --> 02:21:04.559 with ambiguity, the protagonist is still portrayed as addicted to war, 2977 02:21:04.840 --> 02:21:08.040 a man defined by chaos but noble for enduring it. 2978 02:21:08.360 --> 02:21:12.040 Subconscious programming here is subtler. War becomes a drug and 2979 02:21:12.079 --> 02:21:15.399 the soldier is romanticized for giving up family and peace 2980 02:21:15.520 --> 02:21:19.440 for the greater cause. In quotes, even trauma becomes heroism. 2981 02:21:19.559 --> 02:21:24.280 It subtly conditions viewers to sympathize with military mindsets, reinforcing 2982 02:21:24.319 --> 02:21:27.399 that some men are just quote unquote built for war 2983 02:21:27.520 --> 02:21:30.680 and we need them, without questioning why warstart in the 2984 02:21:30.680 --> 02:21:31.239 first place. 2985 02:21:32.159 --> 02:21:34.799 Agreed, I agree with everything that was just said. 2986 02:21:35.239 --> 02:21:38.000 Actually, I do believe that certain dudes are built for 2987 02:21:38.040 --> 02:21:42.399 that and we do need them. It's like you, you 2988 02:21:42.440 --> 02:21:45.360 don't want we don't want war? 2989 02:21:45.920 --> 02:21:47.040 Right? War is bad. 2990 02:21:47.280 --> 02:21:49.479 I know that I say a lot of things about it. Okay, 2991 02:21:49.520 --> 02:21:52.040 but let's just put all cards on the table. War 2992 02:21:52.159 --> 02:21:54.200 is hell, okay, and it is not fun. 2993 02:21:54.559 --> 02:21:57.319 Is not good. You do not want to send your 2994 02:21:57.319 --> 02:22:00.840 sons to fight in some conflict in some form in land. Okay, 2995 02:22:00.879 --> 02:22:03.799 nobody genuinely wakes up feeling like that's what we need 2996 02:22:03.799 --> 02:22:04.120 to do. 2997 02:22:04.920 --> 02:22:08.079 But at the same time, you need good men that 2998 02:22:08.159 --> 02:22:11.360 are willing to do bad things in order to have 2999 02:22:11.399 --> 02:22:12.520 your safety and security. 3000 02:22:13.079 --> 02:22:15.319 That's just the way of the world. I'm very sorry, 3001 02:22:15.360 --> 02:22:16.799 but you need pipe hitters. 3002 02:22:17.120 --> 02:22:20.239 You don't want them, You really don't want these goons 3003 02:22:20.719 --> 02:22:25.559 to exist, but fucking you need some pipe hitting goons 3004 02:22:25.559 --> 02:22:26.399 when the times come. 3005 02:22:27.040 --> 02:22:27.319 Yeah. 3006 02:22:27.440 --> 02:22:29.840 Yeah, it's like, you know, the people that we're talking about, 3007 02:22:29.879 --> 02:22:33.520 like defunding the police, right, so fucking stupid.

So now you're kind of 3014 02:22:51.200 --> 02:22:53.200 just fending for yourself.

Like you have to come 3026 02:23:28.799 --> 02:23:31.159 to grips with that and be at peace with that 3027 02:23:31.239 --> 02:23:33.040 reality every time you gear up. 3028 02:23:33.360 --> 02:23:38.319 Brother, First of all, God bless you.

You 3046 02:24:21.360 --> 02:24:23.399 have to be in the job for at least eight 3047 02:24:23.479 --> 02:24:25.600 years before you can ever try to be a part 3048 02:24:25.639 --> 02:24:27.440 of the club. They need to know you're on that 3049 02:24:27.559 --> 02:24:28.559 level of fucking crazy. 3050 02:24:29.319 --> 02:24:31.799 Oh, shout out to them, we need them, Oh we do, 3051 02:24:32.079 --> 02:24:32.319 we do. 3052 02:24:32.440 --> 02:24:34.360 Next but yes, again, you're never gonna have one of 3053 02:24:34.399 --> 02:24:36.040 these guys on a counter sniper operation. 3054 02:24:36.319 --> 02:24:37.319 That's fucking stupid. 3055 02:24:37.879 --> 02:24:41.360 Yeah, yeah, you're not gonna have crippling, crippling anxiety for 3056 02:24:41.399 --> 02:24:42.559 a job like that, you know. 3057 02:24:42.840 --> 02:24:42.920 No. 3058 02:24:43.520 --> 02:24:46.920 Nextly we have Zero Dark thirty came out in twenty twelve. 3059 02:24:47.040 --> 02:24:51.319 The branches involved with the CIA and the DoD. Zero 3060 02:24:51.559 --> 02:24:52.920 Dark thirty was made with. 3061 02:24:53.959 --> 02:24:56.559 That's the one we were talking about thirteen hours. The 3062 02:24:56.639 --> 02:24:58.879 other movie, Zero Dark thirty. 3063 02:24:58.719 --> 02:25:00.799 All right, and Benghazi. Yeah. 3064 02:25:01.280 --> 02:25:04.520 Zero DARC thirty was made with direct assistance from the CIA, 3065 02:25:04.680 --> 02:25:08.479 who provided access to classified information and brief the filmmakers 3066 02:25:08.520 --> 02:25:11.719 on the Bin Laden raid. The agency hope to rebrand 3067 02:25:11.760 --> 02:25:16.360 itself post Iraq War scandals by highlighting its role in 3068 02:25:16.479 --> 02:25:20.879 tracking down America's most wanted torture. Scenes, although controversial, were 3069 02:25:20.920 --> 02:25:26.040 framed as unpleasant but effective, subtly suggesting in quotes enhanced 3070 02:25:26.120 --> 02:25:31.479 interrogation played a necessary role. The subconscious takeaway is that 3071 02:25:31.680 --> 02:25:35.440 extreme measures are justified in the war on terror by 3072 02:25:35.479 --> 02:25:39.600 showing the main character, a determined woman, as emotionally numb 3073 02:25:39.639 --> 02:25:44.120 and obsessive. It frames obsession with justice as virtue. Even 3074 02:25:44.200 --> 02:25:48.639 when the methods cross moral boundaries, the end justifies the means. 3075 02:25:48.840 --> 02:25:51.799 This was psychological priming at the highest level. 3076 02:25:52.600 --> 02:25:53.040 Damn. 3077 02:25:53.840 --> 02:25:56.600 It was about ben Lauden or Benghazi. I don't know 3078 02:25:56.600 --> 02:26:01.280 if I've ever actually seen zero Dark thirty. It's okay, so 3079 02:26:01.360 --> 02:26:02.200 what about Benghazi? 3080 02:26:02.239 --> 02:26:02.719 We were wrong? 3081 02:26:02.760 --> 02:26:04.879 Okay, Yeah, So it was about the raid that killed 3082 02:26:05.360 --> 02:26:10.600 bin Laden, which also good God, that whole operation start to. 3083 02:26:10.520 --> 02:26:13.719 Finish was fucked. They brought two helicopters and one of 3084 02:26:13.760 --> 02:26:17.959 them crashed and everybody inside died and all this other shit, 3085 02:26:18.079 --> 02:26:21.399 and then afterwards they took the body and sunk it 3086 02:26:21.520 --> 02:26:24.680 in the ocean, and it was Yeah, there's there's a 3087 02:26:24.760 --> 02:26:27.479 lot of controversy surrounding that operation as well. 3088 02:26:27.559 --> 02:26:29.920 It was one of the Ben's ben Laden Benghazi, you know. 3089 02:26:33.360 --> 02:26:37.040 So yeah, it's it's really looking at like almost training 3090 02:26:37.159 --> 02:26:40.000 the people who are under this hypnosis as they're watching 3091 02:26:40.079 --> 02:26:44.079 the movie that it's like patriotic to be emotionally numb, 3092 02:26:44.239 --> 02:26:48.440 obsessive and using that as just like justice as virtue. 3093 02:26:48.840 --> 02:26:52.000 So that's the subconscious kind of programming that are in 3094 02:26:52.079 --> 02:26:54.639 these types of movies. They want people like that, which 3095 02:26:54.920 --> 02:26:56.879 you know, I'm not I'm not here to say that 3096 02:26:57.000 --> 02:27:00.920 every subconscious programming that the military puts out is inherently 3097 02:27:01.079 --> 02:27:04.239 evil and bad, because I think you need people like that, 3098 02:27:04.399 --> 02:27:07.000 which you know, it's it's almost like a bad signal, 3099 02:27:07.319 --> 02:27:09.079 you know, it's like, well, look, we got to throw 3100 02:27:09.120 --> 02:27:11.120 this out there or else nobody's gonna know the fucking 3101 02:27:11.399 --> 02:27:13.879 you know, we need Batman, And I think that that's 3102 02:27:13.879 --> 02:27:16.040 probably you know, their angle on it, or one of 3103 02:27:16.040 --> 02:27:18.120 the angles, not the entire one, but one of them. 3104 02:27:18.719 --> 02:27:20.520 You need to be able to put the emotions aside 3105 02:27:20.520 --> 02:27:21.399 to get the job done. 3106 02:27:21.520 --> 02:27:22.680 That's absolutely a fact. 3107 02:27:22.760 --> 02:27:25.239 And I'm not even just in war zones, Like how 3108 02:27:25.239 --> 02:27:28.399 many times have you even working at a pizza joint 3109 02:27:28.760 --> 02:27:31.479 you got there, the entire situation was fucks you knew 3110 02:27:31.520 --> 02:27:34.040 you had to just lock in and just hone in 3111 02:27:34.120 --> 02:27:36.440 for a couple hours until everything got situated. 3112 02:27:36.559 --> 02:27:37.600 It happens everywhere. 3113 02:27:37.639 --> 02:27:39.680 You gotta get that flow state going, baby to slap 3114 02:27:39.760 --> 02:27:41.440 them Pepperoni's on there, you know what I mean. 3115 02:27:42.159 --> 02:27:44.079 And I'm not equating that to war fighting. 3116 02:27:44.120 --> 02:27:46.760 But my point is that to some degree, everybody's got 3117 02:27:46.799 --> 02:27:48.680 to be able to lock in, tune everything else out, 3118 02:27:48.760 --> 02:27:51.799 tunnel vision, and get a job done. In the military, yeah, 3119 02:27:51.840 --> 02:27:53.639 you need guys that are able to do that and 3120 02:27:53.639 --> 02:27:55.879 put emotions aside for the greater good to get the 3121 02:27:56.000 --> 02:27:59.319 job done. And to your point, yeah, I mean everybody 3122 02:27:59.319 --> 02:28:02.159 gets brainwalled in some way, shape or form at boot camp, 3123 02:28:02.399 --> 02:28:04.879 which I actually believe that this is brainwashing for a 3124 02:28:05.000 --> 02:28:07.159 positive cause you. 3125 02:28:07.079 --> 02:28:08.920 Get a perfect example of this. 3126 02:28:09.000 --> 02:28:11.760 You get problem with the problem with brainwashing though, is 3127 02:28:11.799 --> 02:28:14.600 that yeah, it suits a purpose for sure for the 3128 02:28:15.040 --> 02:28:17.959 job that needs done. But it's not like that brainwashing 3129 02:28:18.079 --> 02:28:21.120 is like disconnected whenever you get out of the service, 3130 02:28:21.319 --> 02:28:23.479 and that's probably part of the issue. 3131 02:28:23.200 --> 02:28:26.600 I think, But it's not always a bad thing. Now, 3132 02:28:26.639 --> 02:28:29.040 there is something that absolutely is right. These guys that 3133 02:28:29.200 --> 02:28:31.920 like are still in the trenches and they cannot disassociate 3134 02:28:31.959 --> 02:28:35.079 and like, okay, fine, and that's the levels of PTSD 3135 02:28:35.159 --> 02:28:38.159 for shit like that. But you don't get PTSD just 3136 02:28:38.159 --> 02:28:40.520 from going to boot camp and go working some logistics 3137 02:28:40.559 --> 02:28:41.280 job somewhere. 3138 02:28:41.360 --> 02:28:41.680 Okay. 3139 02:28:41.680 --> 02:28:44.360 But what you do is you get brainwashed in a 3140 02:28:44.399 --> 02:28:47.440 sense of like, all right, you get fifty dudes, one 3141 02:28:47.520 --> 02:28:52.159 from every state in the country, different backgrounds, different socioeconomic classes, 3142 02:28:52.200 --> 02:28:55.760 different races, different religions, everything, and you make them live 3143 02:28:56.000 --> 02:28:58.559 three inches apart from each other for the next six months. 3144 02:28:59.360 --> 02:29:01.079 You'll get a sense of camaraderie. 3145 02:29:01.120 --> 02:29:03.520 You'll get a sense of like going through the suck 3146 02:29:03.680 --> 02:29:07.639 together makes you have a tighter bond, right, And yes, 3147 02:29:07.680 --> 02:29:09.920 there's a little bit of some brainwashing that takes place there, 3148 02:29:09.920 --> 02:29:13.040 but also you learn how to put your feelings aside 3149 02:29:13.440 --> 02:29:16.159 to accomplish the job. I and this is what I'm saying, 3150 02:29:16.200 --> 02:29:17.319 like a positive brainwashing. 3151 02:29:17.360 --> 02:29:19.799 You know what's interesting though, I wonder if they ever 3152 02:29:20.120 --> 02:29:23.600 looked into reverse brainwashing, Like do you think that that 3153 02:29:23.639 --> 02:29:26.120 would be a positive thing, Like maybe whenever you're coming 3154 02:29:26.159 --> 02:29:28.360 out of the service, or you're coming back from active 3155 02:29:28.399 --> 02:29:31.159 duty or something like that, is there anything that would 3156 02:29:31.360 --> 02:29:34.399 you know, some kind of hypnotic suggestion that you can 3157 02:29:34.399 --> 02:29:36.959 give somebody that, like, look, you were only trained to 3158 02:29:37.000 --> 02:29:39.120 have this mindset so that you can go over there 3159 02:29:39.600 --> 02:29:41.680 and do what you were meant to do. But now 3160 02:29:41.680 --> 02:29:43.760 you're back in the real world. You love your you 3161 02:29:43.840 --> 02:29:46.479 love your wife, you love your kids.

And 3164 02:29:52.239 --> 02:29:55.440 you know what I mean, Like, if that's possible, I 3165 02:29:55.479 --> 02:29:57.120 think that that should be something that would be that 3166 02:29:57.639 --> 02:29:58.600 could be implemented. 3167 02:29:59.239 --> 02:30:03.639 There's ay that's offered through the VA for literally this, 3168 02:30:04.719 --> 02:30:06.760 but I mean for especially guys that are like taking 3169 02:30:06.799 --> 02:30:10.600 prisoner and are tortured and brainwashed in that regard. Oh yeah, 3170 02:30:10.600 --> 02:30:14.840 there's all kinds of like debriefing, de brainwashing that takes place. 3171 02:30:14.879 --> 02:30:18.760 Don't get me wrong, but again we're talking about a 3172 02:30:18.799 --> 02:30:22.319 brainwashing quote unquote that makes you a productive human being. 3173 02:30:23.000 --> 02:30:25.280 So many dudes that I met in boot camp, a 3174 02:30:25.280 --> 02:30:28.840 lot of them great guys had some work experience, were 3175 02:30:28.840 --> 02:30:30.879 there to do a job, and like they already had 3176 02:30:30.920 --> 02:30:34.920 the right mindset getting in there. Other guys were fucking 3177 02:30:35.239 --> 02:30:39.879 useless and like had no skill set to offer to 3178 02:30:40.000 --> 02:30:44.440 anyone or anything. They were coddled their entire life. They 3179 02:30:44.520 --> 02:30:46.920 had no idea what the real world was about, and 3180 02:30:46.920 --> 02:30:50.440 not even like combat, just being a normal, productive adult 3181 02:30:50.520 --> 02:30:53.799 human being.

There is a bit of 3233 02:33:09.440 --> 02:33:12.719 some what some might call brainwashing that takes place, but again, 3234 02:33:13.200 --> 02:33:16.200 that's not unproductive and that's not something that you would 3235 02:33:16.239 --> 02:33:18.959 necessarily want to d. 3236 02:33:18.520 --> 02:33:20.000 You know, undo to yourself. 3237 02:33:20.079 --> 02:33:22.280 You you would want to take that kind of knowledge 3238 02:33:22.280 --> 02:33:27.040 in fortitude and can do attitude in you know, forward 3239 02:33:27.079 --> 02:33:27.879 with entire. 3240 02:33:27.840 --> 02:33:29.440 I wasn't saying that, you know, you would want to 3241 02:33:29.479 --> 02:33:31.680 do one hundred percent wipe by any means. I'm just 3242 02:33:31.680 --> 02:33:33.600 talking about, you know, maybe some of the issues that 3243 02:33:33.719 --> 02:33:36.000 would or could carry over into your real life. 3244 02:33:36.079 --> 02:33:36.920 Yeah, they have. 3245 02:33:37.120 --> 02:33:38.760 They have a lot of different types of therapy for 3246 02:33:38.799 --> 02:33:42.079 different types of PTSD. Not all are combat related, not 3247 02:33:42.200 --> 02:33:45.719 all or you know, trauma affects people different ways, dude. 3248 02:33:45.719 --> 02:33:46.680 I remember seeing a meme. 3249 02:33:46.840 --> 02:33:50.319 It was like a chihuahuah and a Saint Bernard and 3250 02:33:50.360 --> 02:33:52.639 they had both gone through a mud puddle that was 3251 02:33:52.680 --> 02:33:53.920 like eight inches tall. 3252 02:33:54.639 --> 02:33:56.959 Right, And it was like, just because you went through 3253 02:33:56.959 --> 02:33:59.959 the same experience doesn't mean it hits you the same way. Right. 3254 02:34:00.079 --> 02:34:04.680 Everybody deals with situations differently. Some guys get to combat 3255 02:34:04.719 --> 02:34:06.000 and they get shot at and. 3256 02:34:05.879 --> 02:34:10.000 They love it. This is their shit. They thrive in 3257 02:34:10.040 --> 02:34:10.719 this environment. 3258 02:34:10.840 --> 02:34:13.280 Other guys get shot at and they break down and 3259 02:34:13.319 --> 02:34:16.879 they suffer serious trauma because of it. No shade being 3260 02:34:16.920 --> 02:34:19.600 thrown on either side of this coin. Everybody deals with 3261 02:34:19.639 --> 02:34:23.120 things in different ways. So yeah, so yeah, there's therapy 3262 02:34:23.159 --> 02:34:25.360 and stuff like that to answer your question, to help 3263 02:34:25.440 --> 02:34:29.040 somebody break away from who they once were into who 3264 02:34:29.120 --> 02:34:31.879 they are now. And that's also something that a lot 3265 02:34:31.879 --> 02:34:34.639 of veterans suffer from, not just combat vets, but when 3266 02:34:34.639 --> 02:34:36.799 you're in the military, you have a sense of purpose, 3267 02:34:37.360 --> 02:34:39.840 You have a sense of who you are, and I 3268 02:34:39.879 --> 02:34:42.040 don't like the fact that a lot of people attach 3269 02:34:42.079 --> 02:34:44.280 who they are to their job title in any way. 3270 02:34:44.319 --> 02:34:47.280 But at the same time, there's lanes to it, right. 3271 02:34:47.719 --> 02:34:51.000 Your rank is one line of that lane. Your billet 3272 02:34:51.120 --> 02:34:54.920 or your job or your assigned role is the other lane. 3273 02:34:54.920 --> 02:34:57.159 And as long as you stay between the two lines 3274 02:34:57.319 --> 02:35:00.879 in your lane, you're doing great. Right Now, you get 3275 02:35:00.920 --> 02:35:04.639 out of the military, there's no lines. There's no lines, 3276 02:35:04.680 --> 02:35:07.360 and everybody is swerving over in this lane, in that lane. 3277 02:35:07.399 --> 02:35:09.520 Then I get looked at like the asshole for telling 3278 02:35:09.520 --> 02:35:11.639 this person get the fuck back in their lane and 3279 02:35:11.639 --> 02:35:16.040 get out of mind. It's a transitional period and a 3280 02:35:16.079 --> 02:35:17.840 lot of that are and suffer with that because they 3281 02:35:17.879 --> 02:35:20.639 feel like they lose themselves, they lose their sense of purpose. 3282 02:35:21.120 --> 02:35:23.760 They don't learn until years later that no, dude, it's 3283 02:35:23.760 --> 02:35:26.399 on you now. You create your purpose. You got to 3284 02:35:26.440 --> 02:35:28.840 get out there and find your purpose, whatever that might be. 3285 02:35:29.440 --> 02:35:32.120 But you also have the freedom to do that now 3286 02:35:32.120 --> 02:35:35.280 and figure it out for yourself. And that's scary for 3287 02:35:35.319 --> 02:35:35.920 a lot of guys. 3288 02:35:36.000 --> 02:35:38.559 There are a lot of people that definitely define themselves 3289 02:35:38.639 --> 02:35:41.920 by their job title, and sometimes it's a little bit cringey, 3290 02:35:42.120 --> 02:35:44.920 like you know, working in the plant, Like those guys 3291 02:35:44.920 --> 02:35:47.079 that have those big trucks and they got a fucking 3292 02:35:47.159 --> 02:35:49.799 dekel on the back of their window that says iron worker. 3293 02:35:50.120 --> 02:35:52.479 You know what it's like, all right, Bud?

Speaking of captains, We're gonna go Captain 3335 02:37:36.239 --> 02:37:39.319 Phillips twenty thirteen. The branch involved was the US Navy. 3336 02:37:39.680 --> 02:37:43.360 This dramatization of the Marisk So you say that Marisk 3337 02:37:43.399 --> 02:37:47.639 Alabama hijacking, I think it's like the shipping container Marisk. 3338 02:37:47.719 --> 02:37:48.440 Isn't that what that is? 3339 02:37:48.799 --> 02:37:50.399 Yeah, it's the company, the ship and company. 3340 02:37:50.600 --> 02:37:51.879 I think it's in Marisk anyway. 3341 02:37:52.040 --> 02:37:56.360 The dramatization of the Marisk Alabama hijacking receives support from 3342 02:37:56.360 --> 02:37:59.559 the US Navy, who even allowed use of real destroyers 3343 02:37:59.600 --> 02:38:03.799 and see in the climatic climactic rescue scene. The film 3344 02:38:03.840 --> 02:38:07.840 portrays the military as surgical, righteous, and above all necessary. 3345 02:38:08.000 --> 02:38:11.280 When diplomacy fails, the message is clear, a bullet from 3346 02:38:11.280 --> 02:38:15.760 a seal is the solution. Subconsciously, it programs viewers to 3347 02:38:15.799 --> 02:38:19.920 associate modern piracy, which is deeply linked to systemic exploitation 3348 02:38:20.000 --> 02:38:23.879 of African nations, with pure criminality. There is no context, 3349 02:38:23.959 --> 02:38:27.879 only chaos and heroism. Captain Phillips isn't just a victim. 3350 02:38:27.959 --> 02:38:31.760 He becomes a symbol of the vulnerable West, protected by 3351 02:38:31.879 --> 02:38:34.600 only a strong, ever ready US military. 3352 02:38:35.559 --> 02:38:39.000 Okay, yeah, a couple things to break down on that. One, 3353 02:38:39.280 --> 02:38:45.639 piracy is majority done in the African nations. That's not 3354 02:38:45.760 --> 02:38:47.000 like a propaganda thing. 3355 02:38:47.079 --> 02:38:49.360 That's a correct statement as a matter of fact. 3356 02:38:49.639 --> 02:38:51.799 Right now, Jonathan, you and I can go and place 3357 02:38:51.840 --> 02:38:55.360 money on the Somali stock exchange. Do you know what 3358 02:38:55.760 --> 02:39:00.000 we be betting on which pirate crew takes the largest 3359 02:39:00.239 --> 02:39:04.440 loot this week? You can read, Yes, that is the 3360 02:39:04.520 --> 02:39:08.559 Somali stock exchange quote unquote. That's a real thing you're doing. Wow, 3361 02:39:08.559 --> 02:39:10.399 And it's not Yeah, that's that's a part of them. 3362 02:39:10.440 --> 02:39:13.520 It's systemic. Yeah, it is because these are poor countries 3363 02:39:13.559 --> 02:39:15.600 and that's the best shot they got it. Earning something 3364 02:39:15.719 --> 02:39:19.520 is from you know, throwing explosives around the bottom leg 3365 02:39:19.639 --> 02:39:22.840 of an oil rig and ransoming off the crew to 3366 02:39:23.000 --> 02:39:24.319 the company that sent them there. 3367 02:39:24.399 --> 02:39:28.319 Things like this happen all the time, like weekly. Okay, 3368 02:39:29.200 --> 02:39:33.120 Captain Phillips knew this, and his crew said, why don't 3369 02:39:33.120 --> 02:39:35.760 we go this way where the pirates were out of 3370 02:39:35.840 --> 02:39:38.120 range of the pirates. Let's do this. He was trying 3371 02:39:38.159 --> 02:39:40.719 to make a deadline that they had way more than 3372 02:39:40.799 --> 02:39:43.879 enough time to make. He chose that route on purpose 3373 02:39:43.920 --> 02:39:46.319 and knowing that it was dangerous, and then got what 3374 02:39:46.520 --> 02:39:50.159 was coming to him in that regard. So again this 3375 02:39:50.239 --> 02:39:53.239 whole making the public feel like the victim of the 3376 02:39:53.280 --> 02:39:57.159 poor Westerner and these these mean Africans and like, okay, yes, 3377 02:39:57.239 --> 02:39:59.200 some of that might be true, but he's not a victim. 3378 02:39:59.319 --> 02:40:03.479 He put himself from that position. So yeah, some things 3379 02:40:03.520 --> 02:40:06.159 on that happen. Anyway, the seals did do a great job, 3380 02:40:06.239 --> 02:40:08.440 and that was true to form. They actually did take 3381 02:40:08.479 --> 02:40:11.639 the sniper shots from the bow or stern, I don't 3382 02:40:11.680 --> 02:40:13.799 know of the destroyer. 3383 02:40:13.399 --> 02:40:16.000 And took out all the pirates in one shot, well 3384 02:40:16.040 --> 02:40:18.159 like six dudes that all fired at the exact same time. 3385 02:40:18.200 --> 02:40:18.959 So that's dope. 3386 02:40:19.520 --> 02:40:20.280 Oh okay. 3387 02:40:20.879 --> 02:40:23.280 Nextly we have Pearl Harbor two thousand and one. The 3388 02:40:23.319 --> 02:40:26.479 branches involved where the US Navy and the DoD. Michael 3389 02:40:26.479 --> 02:40:30.280 Bay's Pearl Harbor received full Pentagon cooperation from access to 3390 02:40:30.360 --> 02:40:33.360 Navy ships, to airfields and weaponry. While the film veers 3391 02:40:33.399 --> 02:40:36.600 into romance, the battle scenes were meticulously coordinated with the 3392 02:40:36.639 --> 02:40:40.920 DoD to ensure historical reverence and patriotic awe. The narrative 3393 02:40:40.959 --> 02:40:45.159 subtly blames the Japanese without deep exploration of geopolitical tensions, 3394 02:40:45.360 --> 02:40:49.159 making it easy to rally around American victimhood and vengeance. 3395 02:40:49.440 --> 02:40:52.719 At a subconscious level. It invokes a sacred trauma, Pearl 3396 02:40:52.760 --> 02:40:56.399 Harbor as the unifying origin story of American World War 3397 02:40:56.399 --> 02:41:00.760 II glory. Emotional manipulation is rife. Swelling, meal music, slow 3398 02:41:00.799 --> 02:41:04.920 motion death scenes, and stoic soldier sacrifices all work to 3399 02:41:05.120 --> 02:41:07.559 fuse nationalism with sentimentality. 3400 02:41:08.079 --> 02:41:10.239 It isn't just history, it's mythology. 3401 02:41:11.360 --> 02:41:13.040 Okay, yeah, fair enough. 3402 02:41:13.280 --> 02:41:15.360 Like I said, they did good as far as the 3403 02:41:15.360 --> 02:41:17.799 battle scenes are concerned, and that was true as far 3404 02:41:17.799 --> 02:41:21.520 as the chain of events that took place. But yeah, 3405 02:41:21.319 --> 02:41:24.040 the whole love story thing, it wasn't necessary. 3406 02:41:24.120 --> 02:41:26.479 That's what we would call creative liberties. 3407 02:41:27.079 --> 02:41:30.120 Nextly, we have your movie Behind Enemy Lines two thousand 3408 02:41:30.120 --> 02:41:32.360 and one, the branches involved with the US Navy and 3409 02:41:32.360 --> 02:41:35.479 the DoD Behind Enemy Lines was released in the wake 3410 02:41:35.520 --> 02:41:37.920 of nine to eleven. Though it was technically in production 3411 02:41:38.040 --> 02:41:41.680 before the attacks, it became perfectly timed. With it became 3412 02:41:41.719 --> 02:41:46.600 perfectly timed propaganda. The US Navy granted permission to use carriers, aircraft, 3413 02:41:46.639 --> 02:41:50.040 and personnel, but only after several script changes. The Pentagon 3414 02:41:50.120 --> 02:41:52.479 insisted that the film make it clear that the American 3415 02:41:52.479 --> 02:41:56.879 military acts with moral superiority and technical precision, even when 3416 02:41:56.920 --> 02:42:00.760 the bureaucrats failed them. The subconscious message is that oak soldiers, 3417 02:42:00.920 --> 02:42:04.200 those who disobey orders for the quote unquote right reason, 3418 02:42:04.440 --> 02:42:07.799 are still heroes. The enemy, in this case, the Serbian forces, 3419 02:42:08.120 --> 02:42:12.920 is painted with broad strokes merciless, lawless, and animalistic. Viewers 3420 02:42:12.920 --> 02:42:16.760 are taught to see American military personnel as not just warriors, 3421 02:42:16.959 --> 02:42:21.879 but moral arbiters, capable of transcending politics to do what's 3422 02:42:22.000 --> 02:42:23.280 in quotes, right. 3423 02:42:23.719 --> 02:42:28.200 Okay, okay, yeah. If you want to look at the 3424 02:42:28.319 --> 02:42:32.479 history of what took place in Bosnia, and you know, 3425 02:42:32.559 --> 02:42:34.680 the whole thing with the Serbian and the genocide and 3426 02:42:34.719 --> 02:42:38.680 all that they were merciless. They were animals like that. 3427 02:42:38.879 --> 02:42:43.360 They they they genocidally killed an entire race of people 3428 02:42:43.399 --> 02:42:45.719 in a certain region of the world, and that was 3429 02:42:45.760 --> 02:42:50.120 about to go unspoken of until this pilot got the 3430 02:42:50.159 --> 02:42:53.760 evidence to prove it, and then the international court system 3431 02:42:53.799 --> 02:42:55.680 was able to step in and do some things. 3432 02:42:55.760 --> 02:42:58.280 But like, yeah, yeah, I'll want you one hundred percent. 3433 02:42:58.600 --> 02:43:01.159 I don't know what he did to necessarily disobey orders. 3434 02:43:01.200 --> 02:43:03.239 He was running for his life for the majority of 3435 02:43:03.280 --> 02:43:04.680 the movie, But all right. 3436 02:43:05.479 --> 02:43:08.120 Yeah, it's interesting that it was it did happen or 3437 02:43:08.159 --> 02:43:10.239 they released This is the one that we said that 3438 02:43:10.280 --> 02:43:12.879 it was due to be released mid January and then 3439 02:43:12.920 --> 02:43:15.760 it ended up being released November thirtieth of two thousand 3440 02:43:15.799 --> 02:43:18.920 and one. It's interesting, though, because we talk about how 3441 02:43:19.399 --> 02:43:22.200 they you know, I don't know if it was subconscious 3442 02:43:22.239 --> 02:43:24.680 programming or there were people in the know that absolutely 3443 02:43:24.760 --> 02:43:27.280 knew that something like nine to eleven was going to 3444 02:43:27.319 --> 02:43:29.600 be happening. You know, we talk about the insurance that 3445 02:43:29.680 --> 02:43:32.200 was taken out for terrorist insurance that was in July 3446 02:43:32.399 --> 02:43:35.000 or August of that year before nine to eleven, And 3447 02:43:35.040 --> 02:43:40.200 it almost makes it very interesting timing that this movie 3448 02:43:40.520 --> 02:43:45.000 was already scripted and like edited and getting ready to 3449 02:43:45.040 --> 02:43:49.600 be posted, well posted in movie theaters, you know, just 3450 02:43:49.680 --> 02:43:52.360 months after. You know, it's almost like maybe somebody in 3451 02:43:52.399 --> 02:43:53.079 there new. 3452 02:43:53.639 --> 02:43:57.399 Yeah, and okay, now I'm thinking about it. Gene Hackman's 3453 02:43:57.520 --> 02:44:03.079 character rip Gene Hackman. He did go against the bureaucracy 3454 02:44:03.360 --> 02:44:06.559 and the orders of his superiors to go back and 3455 02:44:06.559 --> 02:44:08.639 get this pilot. He was ordered to pretty much let 3456 02:44:08.680 --> 02:44:12.000 the pilot like die, like, you know, just whatever. It's 3457 02:44:12.040 --> 02:44:14.879 a casualty, it's an accident, but it's gonna cause even 3458 02:44:14.920 --> 02:44:17.159 more of an international crisis and this and this, and 3459 02:44:17.200 --> 02:44:20.000 he's like, hmm, fuck you, We're gonna go get our boy. 3460 02:44:20.520 --> 02:44:23.040 And because of that, he was relieved of command. As 3461 02:44:23.079 --> 02:44:25.760 a matter of fact, he was offered some administrative job 3462 02:44:25.799 --> 02:44:28.920 in DC somewhere. He instead chose to retire with the 3463 02:44:28.959 --> 02:44:32.719 respect of the crew and those that served under him. Yeah, 3464 02:44:32.840 --> 02:44:35.760 fucking I would say that would be a hero in 3465 02:44:35.799 --> 02:44:36.319 that regard. 3466 02:44:36.799 --> 02:44:39.760 Okay, next movie we have is The Guardian two thousand 3467 02:44:39.760 --> 02:44:42.559 and six. The branch involved was obviously the US Coast Guard. 3468 02:44:42.959 --> 02:44:46.559 This Kevin Costner Ashton Kutcher film was a full blown 3469 02:44:46.600 --> 02:44:49.360 collaboration with the US Coast Guard, who used it as 3470 02:44:49.399 --> 02:44:53.920 a recruitment film disguised as a rescue drama. Real Coastguard aircraft, 3471 02:44:54.040 --> 02:44:57.520 training centers, and even personnel were used to give it authenticity. 3472 02:44:57.799 --> 02:45:01.000 In exchange, the filmmakers allowed the Service to review the 3473 02:45:01.040 --> 02:45:05.040 script to ensure accuracy and proper tone. At a psychological level, 3474 02:45:05.040 --> 02:45:08.399 the Guardian sells the Coastguard as not only life saving, 3475 02:45:08.440 --> 02:45:13.680 but spiritually redemptive. It elevates the service from bureaucratic obscurity 3476 02:45:13.719 --> 02:45:18.159 to divine purpose. Sacrifice becomes sacred, and discipline is glamorized. 3477 02:45:18.399 --> 02:45:22.559 Young viewers are emotionally cued to associate water rescue and 3478 02:45:22.760 --> 02:45:29.120 uniforms with honor, brotherhood, and personal transformation. Okay, she did that, 3479 02:45:29.159 --> 02:45:30.959 I would say it did that. It fucking inspired me. 3480 02:45:31.040 --> 02:45:32.879 I was like, damn, I might go join this. 3481 02:45:33.799 --> 02:45:35.959 I was also like a huge Ashen Kutcher fan back 3482 02:45:36.000 --> 02:45:36.920 in the day, not now. 3483 02:45:37.639 --> 02:45:40.239 It was more of a story of a guy who 3484 02:45:40.280 --> 02:45:43.520 was running from his past at his home that wasn't 3485 02:45:43.559 --> 02:45:47.680 his fault at all, trying to make something of himself 3486 02:45:48.040 --> 02:45:50.840 super far away from home, and because he was some 3487 02:45:50.879 --> 02:45:55.120 sort of a stud swimmer, the cadre who was in 3488 02:45:55.239 --> 02:45:57.079 charge of training him had to put him in his place. 3489 02:45:57.559 --> 02:46:00.639 That seems to be the overarching theme in the movie. 3490 02:46:00.760 --> 02:46:03.479 It was a Coast Guard recruiting tool, and good god, 3491 02:46:03.520 --> 02:46:06.680 the coasts have not had a decent movie before or since, 3492 02:46:06.719 --> 02:46:07.559 I might add. 3493 02:46:07.399 --> 02:46:11.399 So, Yeah, nextly, we have clear and Present Danger From 3494 02:46:11.520 --> 02:46:14.440 nineteen ninety four, the branches involved with the CIA and 3495 02:46:14.479 --> 02:46:18.760 the Department of Defense film. This film, adaptation of a 3496 02:46:18.840 --> 02:46:22.000 Tom Clancy novel, had support from both the Pentagon and 3497 02:46:22.120 --> 02:46:26.159 CIA consultants. The government wanted to control how covert operations 3498 02:46:26.159 --> 02:46:29.799 were portrayed, particularly the depiction of black ops missions in 3499 02:46:29.840 --> 02:46:34.600 Latin America. While the film does does show some internal 3500 02:46:34.639 --> 02:46:37.959 conflict and cover ups, the end message supports the intelligence 3501 02:46:37.959 --> 02:46:42.639 community as being led by moral patriots like Jack Ryan. Subconsciously, 3502 02:46:42.840 --> 02:46:45.600 it instills the idea that while bad actors exist in 3503 02:46:45.639 --> 02:46:50.120 the government, the institutions themselves are sound and salvageable. Jack 3504 02:46:50.200 --> 02:46:53.159 Ryan is the quote unquote good guy within the system. 3505 02:46:53.639 --> 02:46:58.319 Within the system trope, conditioning viewers to trust the institution, 3506 02:46:58.719 --> 02:47:04.000 not the individual players. Its classic controlled descent present present 3507 02:47:04.079 --> 02:47:07.600 the illusion of corruption, but reassure the audience that the 3508 02:47:07.719 --> 02:47:09.959 system has self correcting heroes. 3509 02:47:10.879 --> 02:47:14.159 Yeah, shouts out to Harrison Ford. One of the better roles. 3510 02:47:14.200 --> 02:47:15.639 I might add, I don't think I've seen him in 3511 02:47:15.680 --> 02:47:18.600 many bad ones, but yeah, clear in Prisent Danger, I 3512 02:47:18.680 --> 02:47:19.879 was a banger of a movie. 3513 02:47:21.200 --> 02:47:24.200 Nextly we have Argo twenty twelve. The branch involved was 3514 02:47:24.200 --> 02:47:27.959 the CIA. Argo was made in close collaboration with the CIA, 3515 02:47:28.920 --> 02:47:32.159 which used the film as a way to rehabilitate its 3516 02:47:32.200 --> 02:47:36.000 image after years of controversy. The agency provided access to 3517 02:47:36.079 --> 02:47:40.479 declassified materials, arranged interviews with operatives, and help shape the 3518 02:47:40.520 --> 02:47:43.639 portrayal of its involvement in the nineteen seventy nine Iran 3519 02:47:43.719 --> 02:47:48.799 hostage crisis. The former CIA operative Tony Mendez, was heavily consulted, 3520 02:47:48.959 --> 02:47:52.040 and the CIA took credit for the successful rescue operation. 3521 02:47:52.440 --> 02:47:56.120 The subliminal message is clear, the CIA saves lives, works 3522 02:47:56.120 --> 02:48:01.840 behind the scenes, and deserves public gratitude, not scrutiny. If only, 3523 02:48:02.000 --> 02:48:06.159 if only we could dress the CIA argo. Argo doesn't 3524 02:48:06.239 --> 02:48:08.719 dwell on the political causes of the crisis or the 3525 02:48:08.719 --> 02:48:12.319 broader Middle East chaos linked to US foreign policy. Instead, 3526 02:48:12.520 --> 02:48:16.440 it creates a feel good narrative that humanizes the CIA 3527 02:48:16.479 --> 02:48:20.479 and frames them as an international or as international problem solvers, 3528 02:48:20.719 --> 02:48:23.760 not global medalers, which is actually what they are. 3529 02:48:25.159 --> 02:48:27.200 Yeah, So the breakdown of this one. 3530 02:48:27.239 --> 02:48:31.319 On November fourth, nineteen seventy nine, militants stormed the US 3531 02:48:31.399 --> 02:48:36.600 embassy in Tehran, Iran. This is right before the Islamic 3532 02:48:36.639 --> 02:48:39.000 Republic took over and all these things, right, this is 3533 02:48:39.600 --> 02:48:41.959 around that time when the revolution was taking place and 3534 02:48:42.280 --> 02:48:47.680 the Ayatola took over. But anyway, they took over the embassy, 3535 02:48:47.840 --> 02:48:51.680 taking sixty six American hostages. Amid the chaos, six Americans 3536 02:48:51.719 --> 02:48:55.200 managed to slip away and find refuge with the Canadian ambassador. 3537 02:48:56.000 --> 02:48:57.799 Knowing that it's just a matter of time before the 3538 02:48:57.840 --> 02:49:00.440 refugees are are found in like the executed at the 3539 02:49:00.520 --> 02:49:05.079 US government calls in an extractor, Tony Mendez played by Benifleck, 3540 02:49:05.680 --> 02:49:09.200 to rescue them. Mendez's plan is to pose as a 3541 02:49:09.239 --> 02:49:14.959 Hollywood producer, scouting locations in Iran to train the refugees 3542 02:49:15.000 --> 02:49:21.000 to act as his film crew. So okay, yeah, that's 3543 02:49:21.079 --> 02:49:22.479 a story that actually took place. 3544 02:49:22.479 --> 02:49:26.479 Apparently, all right, we're gonna keep on rolling to the 3545 02:49:26.479 --> 02:49:28.879 two thousand and three movie called The Recruit. The branch 3546 02:49:28.920 --> 02:49:32.760 involved was a CIA. This thriller was practically a recruitment 3547 02:49:32.799 --> 02:49:36.559 film for the CIA. It starred al Pacino, and Colin Ferrell, 3548 02:49:36.879 --> 02:49:40.639 with much of the plot centered around CIA training, loyalty tests, 3549 02:49:40.760 --> 02:49:45.719 and espionage glamour. The CIA's Office of Public Affairs approved 3550 02:49:45.760 --> 02:49:49.200 access to Langley and worked with screenwriters to ensure a 3551 02:49:49.239 --> 02:49:54.000 compelling yet favorable image of agency life. The psychological message 3552 02:49:54.120 --> 02:49:58.440 here is seduction. The CIA is mysterious, elite and for 3553 02:49:58.520 --> 02:50:02.399 the chosen few, appeals to young, smart viewers who want 3554 02:50:02.440 --> 02:50:05.920 to believe that they have a secret destiny. Even the 3555 02:50:05.959 --> 02:50:10.159 betrayal subplot doesn't fully undermine the agency's aura, It only 3556 02:50:10.200 --> 02:50:14.239 reinforces the notion that that trust is earned, not assumed. 3557 02:50:14.559 --> 02:50:15.200 In essence. 3558 02:50:15.319 --> 02:50:19.840 It's Harry Potter for spies, but with the CIA as hogwarts. 3559 02:50:20.760 --> 02:50:23.719 Oh interesting, And it's one of those that tells you that, like, 3560 02:50:23.760 --> 02:50:27.280 don't worry, the good guys always win, and don't you 3561 02:50:27.399 --> 02:50:31.559 worry anything associated with our government is clearly the good guys. 3562 02:50:31.719 --> 02:50:34.200 Completely go over the fact of the whole betrayal being 3563 02:50:34.239 --> 02:50:37.440 an internal thing. Now there was like that, no, no, 3564 02:50:37.520 --> 02:50:40.680 but the good guys won though, you know well, and 3565 02:50:40.719 --> 02:50:41.239 this is the. 3566 02:50:41.200 --> 02:50:44.520 Reason why so many people just blindly trust the government. 3567 02:50:44.680 --> 02:50:46.760 If you think about it, it's really a lot of 3568 02:50:46.799 --> 02:50:50.040 subconscious programming, as we're going over here that you know, 3569 02:50:50.840 --> 02:50:53.280 I mean, the CIA wouldn't fuck its own people over. 3570 02:50:53.360 --> 02:50:56.079 I've seen I've seen this show, or I've seen this movie. 3571 02:50:56.159 --> 02:50:59.639 I know how they act. Meanwhile, it's literally those movies 3572 02:50:59.680 --> 02:51:03.680 were fun and scripted to subconsciously send that message to 3573 02:51:03.719 --> 02:51:06.520 you so that you don't question the authority, because now 3574 02:51:06.559 --> 02:51:11.520 you have this belief via suggestion from a movie that 3575 02:51:11.559 --> 02:51:14.680 you were hypnotically and induced into some kind of trans 3576 02:51:14.719 --> 02:51:16.879 state in order to really go along, to get along, 3577 02:51:16.879 --> 02:51:24.360 to trust the whole operation, right, crazy dude. Nextly, we 3578 02:51:24.479 --> 02:51:27.079 have Meet the Parents. This is gonna be a funny one. 3579 02:51:27.920 --> 02:51:29.879 Meet the Parents came out in two thousand. The branch 3580 02:51:29.920 --> 02:51:31.399 involved was the CIA. 3581 02:51:31.920 --> 02:51:32.520 Believe it or not. 3582 02:51:32.680 --> 02:51:36.239 Meet the Parents had CIA consultation to help make Robert 3583 02:51:36.239 --> 02:51:40.399 de Niro's XCIA character more believable. While this film wasn't 3584 02:51:40.440 --> 02:51:44.719 a military recruitment ad, it subtly reinforced public intrigue and 3585 02:51:44.920 --> 02:51:49.600 admiration for intelligence operatives, even in comedy. CIA advisors helped 3586 02:51:49.600 --> 02:51:53.799 with backstory elements and dialogue to ensure that Jack Burns 3587 02:51:53.959 --> 02:51:57.239 felt like a real retired agent. On the surface, it's 3588 02:51:57.280 --> 02:51:59.799 a rom com, but dig deeper and you'll find messaging 3589 02:52:00.079 --> 02:52:04.200 that frames intelligence agents as highly competent, morally upright, and 3590 02:52:04.280 --> 02:52:08.719 even domestically protective. The underlying narrative is that even when 3591 02:52:08.760 --> 02:52:12.040 spies retire, there's still the most dangerous men in the room, 3592 02:52:12.280 --> 02:52:15.719 and we should respect that. The CIA becomes almost mythic. 3593 02:52:15.920 --> 02:52:19.159 Even while you're laughing, I. 3594 02:52:19.120 --> 02:52:23.239 Didn't get that from Jack Burns' character. I saw him 3595 02:52:23.239 --> 02:52:28.000 as a fucking psychopath the entire movie. So I mean, yes, 3596 02:52:28.040 --> 02:52:31.799 as far as having some sort of CI liaison on 3597 02:52:31.959 --> 02:52:34.520 set to like make the character more believable, I get 3598 02:52:34.520 --> 02:52:35.680 that with you one hundred percent. 3599 02:52:36.040 --> 02:52:38.959 It didn't reinforce anything about like, yeah, man, you know 3600 02:52:39.000 --> 02:52:43.680 the CIA, they're hardcore. I was like, he's a fucking psychopath. 3601 02:52:44.280 --> 02:52:47.719 He's coming after this guy who is a actually good guy. 3602 02:52:48.360 --> 02:52:51.040 He's going through his baggage without him knowing, he's tracking 3603 02:52:51.079 --> 02:52:51.920 his movements. 3604 02:52:52.000 --> 02:52:53.520 He's like, Yo, what the fuck? 3605 02:52:53.639 --> 02:52:56.200 He has the basement that nobody knows about. And you 3606 02:52:56.280 --> 02:52:58.959 get into the seat and everything right, and. 3607 02:52:58.920 --> 02:53:00.559 They try to I think they try to make him 3608 02:53:00.559 --> 02:53:03.000 seem like a Billy wall type character, which if anybody 3609 02:53:03.079 --> 02:53:06.159 doesn't know who Billy Waugh is, highly recommend you look 3610 02:53:06.200 --> 02:53:09.159 into this dude. This guy was operating from Vietnam to 3611 02:53:09.600 --> 02:53:13.639 like into his late seventies hunting Osama Bin Laden and 3612 02:53:13.680 --> 02:53:16.360 he found him multiple times with the US kept telling 3613 02:53:16.399 --> 02:53:17.159 him to pull back. 3614 02:53:17.239 --> 02:53:19.520 But there's a whole thing on that one true, but yeah, 3615 02:53:19.559 --> 02:53:20.079 wild shit. 3616 02:53:20.239 --> 02:53:22.840 It reminded me, like I this is how I kind 3617 02:53:22.840 --> 02:53:24.760 of knew from an early age that like there's no 3618 02:53:24.840 --> 02:53:27.920 such thing as an ex CIA agent. You know, like 3619 02:53:27.959 --> 02:53:30.319 whenever you see that kind of shit, it's like are 3620 02:53:30.360 --> 02:53:30.879 you are you? 3621 02:53:31.079 --> 02:53:32.040 Do you want me to. 3622 02:53:32.000 --> 02:53:34.559 Believe that there's no such thing as an x CIA agent, 3623 02:53:34.600 --> 02:53:38.040 that you're always in it, even whenever you are spilling 3624 02:53:38.079 --> 02:53:40.399 the beans and you know what I mean, Like, what's 3625 02:53:40.399 --> 02:53:42.399 your fucking boy's name, the black dude with the dreads, 3626 02:53:43.319 --> 02:53:48.520 uh Bustamante and Andy Boustamante. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't 3627 02:53:48.520 --> 02:53:50.200 believe a fucking word that comes out of his mouth. 3628 02:53:51.360 --> 02:53:53.879 Like I've said, I take him as a source for 3629 02:53:54.040 --> 02:53:57.319 certain things, but I don't believe he's saying one truths 3630 02:53:57.479 --> 02:54:00.079 pretty much ever, Right, you got to listen to the 3631 02:54:00.120 --> 02:54:03.280 grain of truth that's there. Same with Sean Ryan. Yeah, 3632 02:54:03.280 --> 02:54:06.200 he was a seal, but he was a CIA asset 3633 02:54:06.280 --> 02:54:08.760 at one time. Now do I think he's still an asset. 3634 02:54:09.120 --> 02:54:11.799 I personally don't think so, but I could understand why 3635 02:54:11.840 --> 02:54:14.000 somebody would believe that and why you would need to 3636 02:54:14.040 --> 02:54:15.959 take what he is saying with a grain of salt. 3637 02:54:16.000 --> 02:54:20.319 Sure, agree to disagree on that one, but anyway. 3638 02:54:20.399 --> 02:54:23.600 Nextly, we have the movie called Thirteen Hours, The Secret 3639 02:54:23.639 --> 02:54:26.360 Soldiers of Bengazi that came out in twenty sixteen. The 3640 02:54:26.399 --> 02:54:30.639 branch involved was the CIA. It's an unofficial cooperation though, 3641 02:54:30.680 --> 02:54:34.600 which come on, it's obvious. While not officially endorsed by 3642 02:54:34.600 --> 02:54:38.520 the CIA, Thirteen Hours was created with input from former 3643 02:54:38.559 --> 02:54:41.840 operatives and serves as a kind of unofficial redemption piece 3644 02:54:41.879 --> 02:54:44.719 for the agency. Michael Bay directed See what I'm Saying. 3645 02:54:44.799 --> 02:54:48.520 It's always the same directors, It's the same actors. Michael 3646 02:54:48.520 --> 02:54:51.399 Bay directed it with gritty reverence, portraying a group of 3647 02:54:51.440 --> 02:54:55.399 CIA contractors fighting off an attack with minimal backup. Despite 3648 02:54:55.440 --> 02:55:00.600 controversies over accuracy, the film shapes its heroes as professional, disciplined, 3649 02:55:00.639 --> 02:55:04.319 and tragically unsupported. The subliminal programming here is that the 3650 02:55:04.360 --> 02:55:07.239 CIA is filled with heroes who are only hindered by 3651 02:55:07.319 --> 02:55:12.000 bureaucracy and or weak politicians. It paints the agency as 3652 02:55:12.040 --> 02:55:16.719 competent and self sacrificing, even if officially abandoned. The audience 3653 02:55:16.719 --> 02:55:20.360 walks away feeling admiration for the covert world, blaming external 3654 02:55:20.360 --> 02:55:24.200 forces rather than the intelligence structure itself. It's a cinematic 3655 02:55:24.239 --> 02:55:26.600 whitewash under the guise of a true story. 3656 02:55:27.879 --> 02:55:31.680 No, you leave being pissed off at the CIA and 3657 02:55:31.719 --> 02:55:36.719 feeling a sense of pride in the contractors, not CIA agents. 3658 02:55:36.840 --> 02:55:40.959 The contractors who said, fuck that, I'm an American first 3659 02:55:40.959 --> 02:55:44.000 and I'm a contractor second, who went in with no 3660 02:55:44.120 --> 02:55:46.959 support after their CIA boss told them, if you go 3661 02:55:47.040 --> 02:55:50.000 out there, you're pretty much losing your job, and they decided, no, 3662 02:55:50.120 --> 02:55:52.079 fuck that, Americans are getting shot at. 3663 02:55:52.200 --> 02:55:52.840 I'm leaving. 3664 02:55:53.360 --> 02:55:55.920 You don't feel with a sense of pride towards the agency. 3665 02:55:56.159 --> 02:55:58.920 Oh fuck, we talking about different structure for different folks. 3666 02:55:58.959 --> 02:56:01.079 Not everybody thinks like you, Jacob. I think that you 3667 02:56:01.120 --> 02:56:02.120 forget that sometimes? 3668 02:56:02.280 --> 02:56:02.559 Did you? 3669 02:56:02.680 --> 02:56:02.719 Do? 3670 02:56:02.760 --> 02:56:03.520 You watch the movie? 3671 02:56:03.600 --> 02:56:03.719 Right? 3672 02:56:03.959 --> 02:56:04.719 I didn't know? 3673 02:56:05.040 --> 02:56:08.680 Okay, go watch the movie. It's worth a watch, solid movie, 3674 02:56:09.000 --> 02:56:10.799 and then look at the true story of what actually 3675 02:56:10.879 --> 02:56:14.319 took place. You're gonna be pissed off that the agency 3676 02:56:14.479 --> 02:56:17.200 was like, no, if we get involved, they'll come here next. 3677 02:56:17.639 --> 02:56:19.959 It's like, I'm sorry, we have marines that are under 3678 02:56:19.959 --> 02:56:22.840 fire and an ambassador that they're trying to kill. I 3679 02:56:22.879 --> 02:56:26.079 know that I'm hired to protect you, CIA boy, but 3680 02:56:26.200 --> 02:56:29.520 I'm also an American and I'm a former seal, So like, 3681 02:56:29.719 --> 02:56:33.319 I'm gonna go save some American lives real quick, because 3682 02:56:33.520 --> 02:56:36.319 you're not lifting a finger to do so, because you're 3683 02:56:36.319 --> 02:56:41.040 afraid of your bureaucracy people coming after you. Like you're not. No, 3684 02:56:41.239 --> 02:56:43.719 you don't feel pride in the CIA after that movie, 3685 02:56:43.719 --> 02:56:44.360 that's insane. 3686 02:56:45.000 --> 02:56:47.120 The next show or the next one is a show 3687 02:56:47.879 --> 02:56:51.399 called as a CBS series called The Agency, which aired 3688 02:56:51.440 --> 02:56:53.040 from two thousand and one to two thousand and three. 3689 02:56:53.200 --> 02:56:56.440 The branch involved was a CIA. The CBS series or 3690 02:56:56.479 --> 02:57:00.479 this CBS series was developed with direct involvement from this's 3691 02:57:00.520 --> 02:57:03.399 Office of Public Affairs. The Agency used the show to 3692 02:57:03.479 --> 02:57:06.639 normalize their operations in the public eye post Cold War 3693 02:57:06.959 --> 02:57:10.079 and pre nine to eleven. Episodes were crafted to showcase 3694 02:57:10.079 --> 02:57:14.920 CIA heroes combating international threats while sidestepping any mention of 3695 02:57:15.040 --> 02:57:18.760 CIA overreach or failures. Interesting, this came out like right 3696 02:57:18.799 --> 02:57:19.680 after nine to eleven. 3697 02:57:19.840 --> 02:57:23.920 You know, the subconscious Patriarch was passed, I might add. 3698 02:57:24.000 --> 02:57:27.399 Yeah, The subconscious function of the show was to implant 3699 02:57:27.399 --> 02:57:30.799 the idea that the CIA is both ethical and essential. 3700 02:57:31.159 --> 02:57:34.440 Every moral gray area is painted with nuance, but always 3701 02:57:34.520 --> 02:57:37.079 leads back to the premise that's in quotes. They're the 3702 02:57:37.120 --> 02:57:39.959 good guys doing the hard jobs that no one else will. 3703 02:57:40.559 --> 02:57:45.399 It made surveillance sexy and espionage noble, all while conditioning 3704 02:57:45.440 --> 02:57:48.360 the audience to cheer for intelligence over privacy. 3705 02:57:49.440 --> 02:57:54.200 Yes, please spile on us harder, Governant, Daddy, please, yeah, 3706 02:57:54.360 --> 02:57:57.920 please monitor my cell phone in my internet access even harder. 3707 02:57:58.239 --> 02:57:59.920 You're such a good guy for doing it. 3708 02:58:00.120 --> 02:58:00.319 What. 3709 02:58:01.319 --> 02:58:03.959 Yes, the government is spying and listening in on every 3710 02:58:03.959 --> 02:58:06.319 single conversation on my phone and through my TV and 3711 02:58:06.360 --> 02:58:07.520 through all my electronics. 3712 02:58:07.559 --> 02:58:10.360 But they need to do that because they care. 3713 02:58:11.239 --> 02:58:14.319 It's like the husband that like gas what lights his 3714 02:58:14.399 --> 02:58:16.479 wife's like, shut up, baby, you love being lied to. 3715 02:58:17.639 --> 02:58:18.280 That's what this is. 3716 02:58:18.440 --> 02:58:19.120 Yeah, Okay. 3717 02:58:19.840 --> 02:58:23.399 Nextly, we have the show called Alias, which aired from 3718 02:58:23.399 --> 02:58:25.000 two thousand and one to two thousand and six. See 3719 02:58:25.000 --> 02:58:27.760 how they're all around two thousand and one. Here the 3720 02:58:27.760 --> 02:58:32.319 branch involved was the CIA. Alias, created by JJ Abrams, 3721 02:58:32.360 --> 02:58:36.280 starred Jennifer Garner as a CIA double agent. The CIA 3722 02:58:36.440 --> 02:58:40.360 consulted on the series, helping shape Garner's portrayal and lending 3723 02:58:40.399 --> 02:58:44.520 the agency a kind of glamorous credibility. Garner even prepared 3724 02:58:44.600 --> 02:58:47.959 in a CIA recruitment ad that aired during the show, 3725 02:58:48.239 --> 02:58:52.079 blurring the line between fiction and actual recruitment. The deeper 3726 02:58:52.120 --> 02:58:56.280 psychological angle here was to feminize and humanize the intelligence world. 3727 02:58:56.520 --> 02:59:01.200 Garner's character is emotional, loyal yet ruthless, giving viewers permission 3728 02:59:01.239 --> 02:59:05.280 to empathize with those doing morally questionable work for the 3729 02:59:05.360 --> 02:59:09.479 greater good end quotes, Alias also injected esoteric and occult 3730 02:59:09.479 --> 02:59:14.239 symbolism oh shit, appealing to conspiracy aware viewers while steering 3731 02:59:14.239 --> 02:59:18.040 them to trust the overarching structure of intelligence operations. 3732 02:59:19.200 --> 02:59:21.399 So maybe I'm just speaking on behalf of myself here, 3733 02:59:21.440 --> 02:59:24.239 but I feel like miscongeniality did a way better job 3734 02:59:24.280 --> 02:59:28.440 of feminizing three letter agencies because she was an FBI agent, 3735 02:59:28.879 --> 02:59:32.600 more than Alias did, like glamorizing it and all of that. 3736 02:59:32.680 --> 02:59:35.399 Like Sandra Bullock did a really good job of making 3737 02:59:35.440 --> 02:59:37.680 the FBI look like good guys on that one. 3738 02:59:37.719 --> 02:59:40.440 I'm just saying, no matter how much foreskin she puts 3739 02:59:40.440 --> 02:59:42.040 on her face, oh. 3740 02:59:41.840 --> 02:59:44.799 My god, that's real shit, that's real shit though, you. 3741 02:59:45.000 --> 02:59:46.319 Laugh, foreskin on her face? 3742 02:59:46.399 --> 02:59:48.200 Doug, Oh, yeah, like that's what she says. 3743 02:59:48.280 --> 02:59:50.920 Like, she goes on interviews and people are like, Sandra Bull, 3744 02:59:51.000 --> 02:59:53.479 how are you You're like fucking almost sixty years old, Like, 3745 02:59:53.520 --> 02:59:55.239 how do you still look like you're in your thirties? 3746 02:59:55.520 --> 02:59:57.719 And she goes, well, there's this thing and it's this 3747 02:59:57.840 --> 03:00:00.120 lotion and it has this stuff in there. It's basically 3748 03:00:00.159 --> 03:00:03.399 foreskin from babies. And everybody was like, what the fuck 3749 03:00:03.440 --> 03:00:04.440 are you talking about? 3750 03:00:05.200 --> 03:00:07.200 Yeah, heard that. That's fucking wild. 3751 03:00:07.840 --> 03:00:10.559 Yeah, dude, it's fucking the higher ups get real weird. 3752 03:00:11.959 --> 03:00:15.559 So nextly we have the Jack Ryan Amazon series from 3753 03:00:15.559 --> 03:00:18.680 twenty eighteen to present, still going the branch involved as 3754 03:00:18.760 --> 03:00:22.680 the CIA. So Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan got a sleek 3755 03:00:22.760 --> 03:00:25.639 reboot thanks to Amazon and at green light from the 3756 03:00:25.680 --> 03:00:30.239 CIA's media liaisons. The show promotes the idea that young, brilliant, 3757 03:00:30.399 --> 03:00:34.239 morally unshakable analysts are protecting the world from chaos. Real 3758 03:00:34.319 --> 03:00:38.639 CIA lingo tech and tactical operations were reviewed and approved 3759 03:00:38.680 --> 03:00:43.360 for accuracy, adding an air of legitimacy. Beneath the surface, 3760 03:00:43.479 --> 03:00:48.280 Jack Ryan functions as neo liberal spy propaganda. It teaches 3761 03:00:48.879 --> 03:00:52.680 viewers that America's meddling and foreign lands is necessary and 3762 03:00:52.760 --> 03:00:57.959 surgical rather than imperal and exploitive. Complex geopolitical struggles are 3763 03:00:57.959 --> 03:01:01.600 reduced to good versus evil, and the show subtly reinforces 3764 03:01:01.639 --> 03:01:04.399 the idea that technocrats with guns and degrees are the 3765 03:01:04.440 --> 03:01:06.559 answers to global instability. 3766 03:01:08.360 --> 03:01:10.600 Yeah, that's totally the yep. 3767 03:01:11.559 --> 03:01:13.200 CIA doing CIA shit. 3768 03:01:14.000 --> 03:01:16.879 It's one of the most opinions. So I might say. 3769 03:01:17.159 --> 03:01:19.680 Nextly, we have the show called twenty four aired from 3770 03:01:19.680 --> 03:01:21.040 two thousand and one to ten. 3771 03:01:21.120 --> 03:01:22.799 There's another two thousand and one show. 3772 03:01:23.399 --> 03:01:26.799 Yeah, twenty four. That was a fucking good show when 3773 03:01:26.799 --> 03:01:27.079 it was on. 3774 03:01:27.159 --> 03:01:29.440 I remember that the branch involved or the branch is 3775 03:01:29.479 --> 03:01:33.520 involved with the DoD and Homeland Security. Twenty four became 3776 03:01:33.559 --> 03:01:36.440 famous for its real time thriller format and Jack Bauer's 3777 03:01:36.520 --> 03:01:39.719 often brutal methods. Post nine to eleven, this show was 3778 03:01:39.799 --> 03:01:43.600 held up by Homeland security officials as a cultural tool 3779 03:01:43.639 --> 03:01:46.600 for justifying enhanced interrogation i e. 3780 03:01:46.760 --> 03:01:47.159 Torture. 3781 03:01:47.639 --> 03:01:51.159 While not directly funded, it was praised and promoted internally 3782 03:01:51.200 --> 03:01:55.120 within defense circles for shaping public attitudes toward terrorism and 3783 03:01:55.200 --> 03:01:59.399 surveillance or surveillance Rather, the subconscious effect of twenty four 3784 03:01:59.600 --> 03:02:04.079 was in enormous. It normalized torture, illegal surveillance, UH, and 3785 03:02:04.280 --> 03:02:09.920 preemptive action, desensitizing Americans to to the erosion of civil liberties. 3786 03:02:10.360 --> 03:02:13.079 Bower wasn't just a hero, He was a patriot who 3787 03:02:13.159 --> 03:02:15.520 had to break the rules to protect the innocent. The 3788 03:02:15.600 --> 03:02:19.920 real message is, if you want safety, you must surrender oversight. 3789 03:02:21.000 --> 03:02:24.120 Yeah, dude, fucking KEEFERD. Sutherland think he killed the role. 3790 03:02:24.200 --> 03:02:24.600 Honestly. 3791 03:02:25.319 --> 03:02:28.319 Oh, he definitely pumped it into the minds that you know, hey, 3792 03:02:28.479 --> 03:02:29.399 we need surveillance. 3793 03:02:29.840 --> 03:02:33.120 I cannot say that fucking word right now. There we go. 3794 03:02:34.520 --> 03:02:37.079 And so yeah, it's it's been pumping that big brother. 3795 03:02:37.360 --> 03:02:39.280 You know, they're just trying to pump into the subconscious 3796 03:02:39.319 --> 03:02:41.520 minds of people that big brother has your back. It's 3797 03:02:41.559 --> 03:02:44.079 not spying on you, it's spying for your well being. 3798 03:02:44.639 --> 03:02:47.520 Which also, like, is torture still a thing that people 3799 03:02:47.520 --> 03:02:50.840 are like about? Like, I'm cool with torturing bad guys. 3800 03:02:51.399 --> 03:02:53.000 I'm good with this, I guess. 3801 03:02:53.040 --> 03:02:55.760 So, Uh, nextly we have uh, this is gonna be 3802 03:02:55.760 --> 03:02:59.360 a three first, So ncis, JAG and Hawaii five. Oh, 3803 03:02:59.399 --> 03:03:02.479 the branches involved with the US Navy and the DoD 3804 03:03:03.040 --> 03:03:06.879 These long running shows functioned as daytime soap operas for 3805 03:03:07.000 --> 03:03:10.200 military pr All were developed with the support from the 3806 03:03:10.280 --> 03:03:13.520 US Navy or Marine Corps, who use them to improve 3807 03:03:13.559 --> 03:03:17.239 their image and increase incruitment or recruitment. Rather, the scripts 3808 03:03:17.319 --> 03:03:22.200 are vetted to remove negative portrayals of military hierarchy or misconduct, 3809 03:03:22.319 --> 03:03:27.000 unless they're quote unquote bad apple stories. The deeper programming 3810 03:03:27.159 --> 03:03:31.159 is insidious. Loyalty to the military is framed as synonymous 3811 03:03:31.159 --> 03:03:35.200 with patriotism, and justice is always served best with when 3812 03:03:35.239 --> 03:03:39.000 the chain of command is obeyed. Corruption when it appears, 3813 03:03:39.079 --> 03:03:43.079 is swiftly handled. Internally, these shows condition viewers to believe 3814 03:03:43.200 --> 03:03:46.920 in the integrity of the institution over the reality of 3815 03:03:46.920 --> 03:03:49.280 the whistleblowers cover ups or war crimes. 3816 03:03:50.319 --> 03:03:50.879 That's fair. 3817 03:03:51.040 --> 03:03:53.079 I mean a lot of the stuff that Jag had 3818 03:03:53.319 --> 03:03:56.920 on the show is kind of like incis right, everybody 3819 03:03:56.959 --> 03:04:00.280 loves NCIS and it's not a bad show going to 3820 03:04:00.319 --> 03:04:02.399 shit on it by any means, But like, yeah, there 3821 03:04:02.520 --> 03:04:06.959 is a criminal investigation unit within the military that handles 3822 03:04:06.959 --> 03:04:09.120 things in house, but that doesn't mean that they're gonna 3823 03:04:09.120 --> 03:04:12.920 hook you up. Because it's in house, you'll face federal 3824 03:04:13.000 --> 03:04:15.559 jail time. For fucking around when you're in the military, 3825 03:04:15.680 --> 03:04:18.000 so like it's it's absolutely a thing that takes place. 3826 03:04:18.600 --> 03:04:20.799 The next show we have is or in the next 3827 03:04:20.840 --> 03:04:26.200 I think. Yeah, as a show called Homeland from twenty 3828 03:04:26.239 --> 03:04:30.399 eleven until twenty twenty, the branch involved was the CIA. 3829 03:04:30.479 --> 03:04:34.959 Informal approval and post release praise from the CIA, Homeland 3830 03:04:35.000 --> 03:04:37.239 was one of the most gripping modern spy dramas, with 3831 03:04:37.319 --> 03:04:41.719 lead actors that include bipolar agents, double crossers, and global plots. 3832 03:04:41.920 --> 03:04:45.479 Though not officially supported by the CIA, several former agents 3833 03:04:45.479 --> 03:04:48.840 served as consultants, and the agency praised it publicly for 3834 03:04:48.959 --> 03:04:52.319 helping explain the quote unquote real stakes of the War 3835 03:04:52.399 --> 03:04:56.280 on Terror to the American public. It's subconscious programming is 3836 03:04:56.639 --> 03:05:00.479 fear the foreigner, trust the system, even when it to you. 3837 03:05:00.920 --> 03:05:05.600 Carrie Matheson's character, despite her instability, is shown as indispensable, 3838 03:05:05.879 --> 03:05:08.680 a broken savior archetype who can't afford to play by 3839 03:05:08.719 --> 03:05:12.239 the rules. It reinforces the idea that America's security comes 3840 03:05:12.239 --> 03:05:15.399 at the cost of transparency and that some secrets are 3841 03:05:15.399 --> 03:05:16.040 worth keeping. 3842 03:05:17.600 --> 03:05:21.920 Yeah, that was a That was a wild show. I 3843 03:05:21.959 --> 03:05:24.000 only caught the first couple of seasons of it. I 3844 03:05:24.000 --> 03:05:25.639 wish I would have sat and watched the rest of it, 3845 03:05:25.719 --> 03:05:26.399 But yeah, it was. 3846 03:05:26.920 --> 03:05:27.559 That was a good one. 3847 03:05:28.120 --> 03:05:33.120 Here are some other military or DOO defunded or supported movies. 3848 03:05:33.319 --> 03:05:37.000 So beyond obvious war films, the Department of Defense has 3849 03:05:37.040 --> 03:05:40.600 inserted itself into many non war films with subtle programming. 3850 03:05:41.520 --> 03:05:46.239 So mind engineering and control movies directly or indirectly supported 3851 03:05:47.079 --> 03:05:49.920 were number one. Oh you like this movie, The Men 3852 03:05:49.959 --> 03:05:53.920 Who Stare At Goats into the Yeah. While parody, it's 3853 03:05:53.959 --> 03:05:58.639 based on the real First Earth Battalion psyops research declassified 3854 03:05:58.680 --> 03:06:03.840 military experiments with telepathy, ESP and remote viewing, the script 3855 03:06:04.040 --> 03:06:08.399 was consulted to avoid real military embarrassment. 3856 03:06:09.799 --> 03:06:13.120 Yeah, that's We've talked about that movie before with the 3857 03:06:13.399 --> 03:06:16.399 asher projection program that the CIA had and how that 3858 03:06:16.520 --> 03:06:20.719 was again based on a true story with a lot 3859 03:06:20.760 --> 03:06:23.399 of creative liberties thrown in. But yeah, that movie is 3860 03:06:23.440 --> 03:06:27.239 fucking hilarious, dude, Jeff Bridges, George Clooney, the whole nine. 3861 03:06:27.680 --> 03:06:30.120 Nextly, we have one of my favorite movies of all 3862 03:06:30.159 --> 03:06:33.159 time called Inception, which came out in twenty ten. 3863 03:06:33.639 --> 03:06:37.319 It says Noah's do d or CIA influence Dude. 3864 03:06:37.079 --> 03:06:40.120 Well, it says no official do d credit, but Christopher 3865 03:06:40.120 --> 03:06:45.959 Nolan reportedly received private guidance from intelligence linked advisors. The 3866 03:06:45.959 --> 03:06:52.040 themes planting ideas, layering dreams, time dilation mirror known psychological 3867 03:06:52.040 --> 03:06:58.360 ops tactics like MK ultra operation, artichoke, and dream manipulation research. 3868 03:06:59.639 --> 03:07:01.920 WHOA damn, I didn't know. 3869 03:07:02.040 --> 03:07:02.200 Well. 3870 03:07:02.319 --> 03:07:04.360 I mean it makes sense though, doesn't it. 3871 03:07:04.360 --> 03:07:04.760 It does? 3872 03:07:05.239 --> 03:07:08.360 Like hearing that out loud and knowing the movie like 3873 03:07:08.399 --> 03:07:08.719 we do. 3874 03:07:09.120 --> 03:07:11.120 Yeah, I could see it. I could absolutely see it. 3875 03:07:11.159 --> 03:07:14.879 But wow, I never even thought about the implications of 3876 03:07:15.000 --> 03:07:20.120 if an intelligence agency had any kind of sway on 3877 03:07:20.239 --> 03:07:21.479 how this movie was. 3878 03:07:21.479 --> 03:07:26.840 Written, played out, edited, whatever the case. But that's pretty 3879 03:07:26.840 --> 03:07:28.239 fucking wild, almost. 3880 03:07:27.959 --> 03:07:31.319 A little sinister you think about it. Actually, yeah, like 3881 03:07:31.360 --> 03:07:33.479 it's it doesn't make me feel good to know that, No, 3882 03:07:34.000 --> 03:07:34.479 not at all. 3883 03:07:35.200 --> 03:07:38.719 Nextly, another great movie, Limitless with It, came out in 3884 03:07:38.760 --> 03:07:44.440 twenty eleven. It echoes DoD and dharpa interest in cognitive 3885 03:07:44.639 --> 03:07:50.239 enhancement drugs. Several real programs exist that match the NZT concept. 3886 03:07:50.959 --> 03:07:58.159 For example, moda Finil moda fenil, which is a modfinitely. 3887 03:07:57.440 --> 03:07:59.559 Seen as the real life limitless drug. 3888 03:08:00.719 --> 03:08:04.760 So medafinil in military use. Holy shit, I didn't know 3889 03:08:04.760 --> 03:08:05.520 that that existed. 3890 03:08:06.479 --> 03:08:09.799 It's not, and I don't know. I've never tested it myself. 3891 03:08:09.920 --> 03:08:12.360 I would love to get my hands on some, but 3892 03:08:13.520 --> 03:08:17.399 it is seen as the thing that the Limitless Pill 3893 03:08:17.520 --> 03:08:21.239 was based off of. It doesn't from what I've been 3894 03:08:21.280 --> 03:08:23.399 given to understand, It doesn't make you have one hundred 3895 03:08:23.399 --> 03:08:26.040 percent of the power within your brain. But as far 3896 03:08:26.120 --> 03:08:31.159 as being extremely acutely aware of your surroundings, being able 3897 03:08:31.239 --> 03:08:34.319 to think through seriously complex problems. Now, I don't mean 3898 03:08:34.360 --> 03:08:37.120 like you'll be able to goodwill hunting a Calculus equation 3899 03:08:37.200 --> 03:08:40.040 on the board, Okay, nothing to that level, but the 3900 03:08:40.120 --> 03:08:43.200 critical thinking to get yourself out of Harry situations and 3901 03:08:43.239 --> 03:08:45.840 things like that. Like apparently medafinil is the. 3902 03:08:46.079 --> 03:08:50.440 Sh well your brain only can process with what it knows. 3903 03:08:50.760 --> 03:08:53.239 And so yeah, I mean, you can probably study calculus. 3904 03:08:53.280 --> 03:08:56.159 You can probably get it really quick, but your brain's 3905 03:08:56.200 --> 03:08:59.280 not just going to be like, well, I've never studied calculus, 3906 03:08:59.280 --> 03:09:00.799 but now I know it, you know what I mean. 3907 03:09:00.840 --> 03:09:02.319 It's not like magic or anything like that. 3908 03:09:02.440 --> 03:09:04.399 But still, I mean, and that's what he did, like 3909 03:09:04.479 --> 03:09:07.079 he studied the stock market and all that shit whenever 3910 03:09:07.159 --> 03:09:08.239 he got on that right. 3911 03:09:08.639 --> 03:09:11.440 Yeah, exactly. And I've also heard that the come down 3912 03:09:11.520 --> 03:09:14.360 off of it. They got that pretty accurate with the 3913 03:09:14.399 --> 03:09:17.760 Limitless movie. Whenever you run out of it, your brain 3914 03:09:17.920 --> 03:09:20.799 like is barely functioning at that point. 3915 03:09:20.879 --> 03:09:23.440 So it's not like it's you don't get addicted to it. 3916 03:09:23.440 --> 03:09:27.280 It's all speed in general though, like cocaine, adderall vivans, 3917 03:09:27.319 --> 03:09:31.280 all like, it's all the same come down, it sucks, yeah. 3918 03:09:30.920 --> 03:09:32.719 So it's not like you get these people that are 3919 03:09:32.760 --> 03:09:36.280 like medafinil junkies who are like in rehab because of it, 3920 03:09:36.760 --> 03:09:40.760 but their brain power never reaches what it could be 3921 03:09:41.040 --> 03:09:43.479 unless they use it at that point. So it's like 3922 03:09:43.479 --> 03:09:45.680 one of those things where if you take one every 3923 03:09:45.680 --> 03:09:47.840 so often as needed, all right, cool, but if you 3924 03:09:47.879 --> 03:09:50.559 start doing it daily for like a month, you're pretty 3925 03:09:50.639 --> 03:09:51.399 much fucked. 3926 03:09:52.520 --> 03:09:55.120 Nextly, we have Enemy of the State, which came out 3927 03:09:55.159 --> 03:09:59.280 in nineteen ninety eight. This was an NSA centric thriller 3928 03:09:59.360 --> 03:10:04.639 allegedly from a prompted the agency to shift public relations strategy. 3929 03:10:04.959 --> 03:10:12.239 Many former Intel agents praised it as accurate, suggesting unofficial alignments. 3930 03:10:12.719 --> 03:10:14.719 I haven't seen a lot of these kind of movies. 3931 03:10:15.440 --> 03:10:18.440 Enemy of the States with will Will Smith and Gene Hackman. 3932 03:10:19.520 --> 03:10:21.959 Oh I may have seen The Banger. Yeah, it's a banger. 3933 03:10:22.879 --> 03:10:25.959 Next one and possibly the greatest movie of all time. 3934 03:10:26.559 --> 03:10:31.000 The Matrix, The Sandlot The Matrix, Oh okay, yeah that too. 3935 03:10:31.159 --> 03:10:33.559 Matrix came out in nineteen ninety nine. It says, while 3936 03:10:33.600 --> 03:10:37.200 not do defunded, the film reflects deep, gnostic and MK 3937 03:10:37.399 --> 03:10:41.479 ultra themes. Several DARPA advisors now reference it in real 3938 03:10:41.520 --> 03:10:45.479 world projects about simulation theory and neural interfaces. 3939 03:10:45.879 --> 03:10:46.840 Yeah, I could believe that. 3940 03:10:47.319 --> 03:10:51.040 I could believe that The Matrix had some some uh 3941 03:10:51.639 --> 03:10:54.000 not coercion, what's the word. I'm looking for some influence 3942 03:10:54.360 --> 03:10:56.440 from some government agencies for sure. 3943 03:10:56.799 --> 03:11:00.280 Oh, how about these mafia and crime films that are 3944 03:11:00.319 --> 03:11:04.639 less obviously under the direction of d d and whatnot 3945 03:11:05.639 --> 03:11:08.879 says most mob films were not directly funded by the 3946 03:11:08.920 --> 03:11:13.600 DoD but were allowed to proceed without interference because they 3947 03:11:13.639 --> 03:11:17.680 reinforce a message the enemy is within and the government 3948 03:11:17.760 --> 03:11:18.760 is trying to keep order. 3949 03:11:19.479 --> 03:11:21.920 So I could see American gangster making this list. 3950 03:11:23.639 --> 03:11:25.000 Yeah, it does. 3951 03:11:25.559 --> 03:11:28.840 But the first one that it mentions is Scarface from 3952 03:11:29.000 --> 03:11:32.159 nineteen eighty three, one of the best movies ever made. Agreed, 3953 03:11:32.319 --> 03:11:35.760 It says, not DoD funded, but mirrored the Reagan era 3954 03:11:35.879 --> 03:11:38.639 War on Drugs narrative. The rise and fall of Tony 3955 03:11:38.680 --> 03:11:44.159 Montana subtly justifies the need for harsh enforcement and DEA. 3956 03:11:43.920 --> 03:11:48.159 Expansion, Right, Yeah, more expansion of the DEA. That's what 3957 03:11:48.200 --> 03:11:48.440 we need. 3958 03:11:48.479 --> 03:11:50.239 Meanwhile, they're the ones that are pedaling it in. 3959 03:11:50.600 --> 03:11:51.440 Two one hundred percent. 3960 03:11:51.479 --> 03:11:54.440 That was done to fund the CIA and fund their 3961 03:11:54.440 --> 03:11:57.719 shit because they stopped getting funding from the from potus, 3962 03:11:57.799 --> 03:12:00.079 so they had to make their ends meet somehow. So 3963 03:12:00.399 --> 03:12:02.520 you know, hey, why don't we just start selling drugs? 3964 03:12:03.000 --> 03:12:05.399 Anybody ever seen uh you know, what was that other 3965 03:12:05.399 --> 03:12:06.319 one with Barry Seal? 3966 03:12:08.639 --> 03:12:10.719 Oh, I know what you're talking about. I can't think 3967 03:12:10.719 --> 03:12:11.000 of it. 3968 03:12:11.520 --> 03:12:12.479 Not American Gangster. 3969 03:12:12.559 --> 03:12:16.559 That was the one with Denzel Washington and Harlem, but uh. 3970 03:12:17.000 --> 03:12:17.600 Damn it. 3971 03:12:19.000 --> 03:12:20.559 Was it a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. 3972 03:12:20.559 --> 03:12:23.520 I'm thinking of. No, No Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise. 3973 03:12:23.559 --> 03:12:24.479 Okay, all right. 3974 03:12:24.600 --> 03:12:26.520 Uh so the next one that we're gonna get to 3975 03:12:26.760 --> 03:12:29.079 is actually a trilogy, and that's The Godfather. 3976 03:12:29.719 --> 03:12:30.920 No, No American Maid. 3977 03:12:32.799 --> 03:12:37.280 Yeah, so the Godfather trilogy trilogy, it says, no known 3978 03:12:37.319 --> 03:12:41.360 government funding, but allowed to exist because it bolts bolstered 3979 03:12:41.360 --> 03:12:44.959 trust in US federal systems like the FBI as moral 3980 03:12:45.159 --> 03:12:49.079 arbiters against end quotes Unamerican corruption. 3981 03:12:50.559 --> 03:12:51.760 If you say so. 3982 03:12:52.719 --> 03:12:54.840 The only time they did that was when they tried 3983 03:12:54.879 --> 03:12:58.760 to bring in your boy Michael Corleone for a rico 3984 03:12:58.920 --> 03:13:02.520 case that he beat so and then they showed how 3985 03:13:02.559 --> 03:13:05.040 a corrupt politician killed a hooker and they had to 3986 03:13:05.040 --> 03:13:07.159 cover that up to save his ass, and then in 3987 03:13:07.200 --> 03:13:08.440 turn he scratched their back. 3988 03:13:08.559 --> 03:13:15.079 So yeah, the federal governments the moral arbiters of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. 3989 03:13:15.319 --> 03:13:18.680 Nextly we have American Gangster from two thousand and seven, 3990 03:13:18.879 --> 03:13:20.200 fucking awesome. 3991 03:13:19.799 --> 03:13:23.319 Movie, amazing and true story of how they were shipping 3992 03:13:23.319 --> 03:13:25.319 the heroin back in the body bags and all of 3993 03:13:25.399 --> 03:13:26.840 that from soldiers. 3994 03:13:26.399 --> 03:13:29.200 You know, for real based on true events. This film 3995 03:13:29.319 --> 03:13:32.959 was created with input from real DEA agents. It subtly 3996 03:13:33.000 --> 03:13:37.280 showcases the criminal justice system eventually doing the right thing, 3997 03:13:37.639 --> 03:13:41.479 reinforcing belief in checks and balances. 3998 03:13:41.559 --> 03:13:43.399 Yeah, one of the best. 3999 03:13:44.879 --> 03:13:47.799 Now we're gonna get to certain actors that are used 4000 03:13:47.959 --> 03:13:51.879 for a lot of this propagation. So these are just alleged. 4001 03:13:52.000 --> 03:13:55.799 There's I mean, you can kind of draw the lines, 4002 03:13:56.159 --> 03:13:58.239 but I mean, obviously they're not gonna come out and 4003 03:13:58.280 --> 03:14:00.440 say it, but it's kind of it's kind of obvious, 4004 03:14:01.399 --> 03:14:04.799 so actors that were allegedly hand picked by the military 4005 03:14:05.079 --> 03:14:10.680 entertainment complex. These individuals aren't just talented, They are chosen, promoted, 4006 03:14:10.719 --> 03:14:13.760 and placed into rules that align with government narratives, whether 4007 03:14:13.840 --> 03:14:18.840 knowingly or as useful instruments. Their careers have strangely benefited 4008 03:14:18.840 --> 03:14:23.520 from their alignment with military intelligence and globalist messaging. Number 4009 03:14:23.520 --> 03:14:28.639 one obviously Tom Cruise, So the government affiliation with the 4010 03:14:28.799 --> 03:14:32.159 US Navy via Top Gun and the Department of Defense. 4011 03:14:32.399 --> 03:14:35.319 Tom Cruise is the face of military glamour. He didn't 4012 03:14:35.399 --> 03:14:38.840 just star in Top Gun, he became a walking recruitment campaign. 4013 03:14:39.239 --> 03:14:43.600 Cruz reportedly worked closely with Navy officials and for both 4014 03:14:43.719 --> 03:14:46.239 top for both of the Top Gun films, and his 4015 03:14:46.360 --> 03:14:50.600 real life image is tightly controlled. His Mission I'm Sorry 4016 03:14:50.639 --> 03:14:54.879 His Mission Impossible franchise also frequently cast the US intelligence 4017 03:14:54.879 --> 03:14:56.200 apparatus as heroic. 4018 03:14:57.200 --> 03:14:58.559 Cruse is well. 4019 03:14:58.600 --> 03:15:01.200 The theory is is that Cruz is a controlled asset 4020 03:15:01.239 --> 03:15:03.879 of the military Hollywood machine. He may not be a 4021 03:15:03.959 --> 03:15:07.440 quote unquote spy, but he's a megaphone used to project 4022 03:15:07.520 --> 03:15:12.040 high adrenaline, patriotism and masculine loyalty. His link to scientology 4023 03:15:12.079 --> 03:15:15.440 may also be a key piece given its rumored intelligence 4024 03:15:15.479 --> 03:15:16.440 community ties. 4025 03:15:17.440 --> 03:15:20.399 I would say that it's not even a disputable fact 4026 03:15:20.680 --> 03:15:25.360 at this point that his scientology ties absolutely has led 4027 03:15:25.440 --> 03:15:26.920 him to where he is now. 4028 03:15:27.840 --> 03:15:31.559 Nextly, we have Tom Hanks. The government affiliation would be 4029 03:15:31.600 --> 03:15:35.799 the CIA and DoD connections through Forrest Gump, Charlie Wilson's War, 4030 03:15:35.959 --> 03:15:41.120 Captain Phillips, and The Post so all military funded movies. 4031 03:15:41.559 --> 03:15:45.760 So Tom Hanks is Hollywood's every man, often cast as 4032 03:15:45.840 --> 03:15:51.760 the symbol of moral American virtue. His roles promote obedience, sacrifice, 4033 03:15:51.799 --> 03:15:55.719 and trust in the system. Forrest Gump normalizes war, Charlie 4034 03:15:55.760 --> 03:16:00.479 WARF's Charlie Wilson's War glamorizes covert operations, and The Post 4035 03:16:00.600 --> 03:16:05.319 promotes the illusion of journalistic and independence while softening real 4036 03:16:05.399 --> 03:16:09.799 government secrets. The theory would be that Hank serves serves 4037 03:16:09.840 --> 03:16:14.360 as a cultural bomb soothing soothing the public with charm 4038 03:16:14.639 --> 03:16:19.280 while pushing complex narratives that ultimately defend institutional power. His 4039 03:16:19.360 --> 03:16:23.600 public persona as all Puke at this one, his public 4040 03:16:23.639 --> 03:16:28.239 persona as America's Dad makes him the ideal subconscious influencer. 4041 03:16:29.239 --> 03:16:31.319 What movie has he ever played as the dad? 4042 03:16:32.239 --> 03:16:35.520 It's just that kind of guy that it's not necessarily 4043 03:16:35.600 --> 03:16:37.719 a dad in a movie, but just like you know, 4044 03:16:37.840 --> 03:16:40.319 the the the family man that you look up to 4045 03:16:40.520 --> 03:16:43.120 because he's morally you know good. 4046 03:16:43.360 --> 03:16:45.959 Yeah, the whole the whole thing with him going to 4047 03:16:46.000 --> 03:16:49.799 Greece to escape extradition and all of these things until 4048 03:16:49.840 --> 03:16:52.399 the Statute of limitations went away on that one case 4049 03:16:52.479 --> 03:16:55.479 and his affiliation with Epstein and all these things. 4050 03:16:55.559 --> 03:16:58.040 Yeah, that that has not voted well. 4051 03:16:57.799 --> 03:17:03.840 For his quote unquote America his dad image. Holy fuck gross. 4052 03:17:03.479 --> 03:17:05.120 I know, puke at that one. 4053 03:17:05.440 --> 03:17:05.559 Uh. 4054 03:17:05.799 --> 03:17:10.479 Nextly we have Ashton Kutcher. So the government affiliation would 4055 03:17:10.479 --> 03:17:14.120 be the intelligence community, the tech industry, and human trafficking 4056 03:17:14.280 --> 03:17:15.120 task forces. 4057 03:17:15.680 --> 03:17:18.399 So Coucher or Kutcher. I always say Coucher is just 4058 03:17:18.399 --> 03:17:20.920 more funny, but think that's how you pronounce it, honestly. 4059 03:17:21.159 --> 03:17:25.840 Ashton Kucher co found in Thorn, an anti human trafficking 4060 03:17:25.879 --> 03:17:29.200 tech company which works with Homeland Security, the FBI, and 4061 03:17:29.280 --> 03:17:32.879 Silicon Valley giants. He testified before Congress and has high 4062 03:17:32.959 --> 03:17:36.920 level security clearance. He's also closely tied to CIA boosted 4063 03:17:36.920 --> 03:17:40.479 tech networks through venture capital. The theory is is that 4064 03:17:40.520 --> 03:17:44.799 while his celebrity background helps mask it. Kucher now functions 4065 03:17:44.879 --> 03:17:48.680 as a quote unquote bridge personality, a Hollywood insider who 4066 03:17:48.719 --> 03:17:51.680 has been absorbed into the intelligence world under the guise 4067 03:17:51.719 --> 03:17:55.399 of humanitarianism. Some people suspect that he's being groomed for 4068 03:17:55.559 --> 03:17:58.399 future political influence or tech gatekeeping. 4069 03:18:00.120 --> 03:18:02.719 You know, he was in school to become I forget 4070 03:18:02.719 --> 03:18:08.399 if it was a biochemical engineer or a nuclear engineer. 4071 03:18:08.440 --> 03:18:10.239 He's actually a really smart guy. 4072 03:18:10.280 --> 03:18:13.440 He quit that to do modeling, which led to him 4073 03:18:13.479 --> 03:18:16.959 landing the role on that seventies show as the dumbass, right, 4074 03:18:17.079 --> 03:18:22.120 but you know, all things aside, Yeah, he is extremely intelligent, 4075 03:18:22.280 --> 03:18:25.159 and I know there's a lot of controversy around him currently. 4076 03:18:25.520 --> 03:18:28.000 I don't know how much of that is accurate and 4077 03:18:28.000 --> 03:18:31.920 how much of it is the Internet throwing shade. But yeah, 4078 03:18:32.159 --> 03:18:34.479 as far as that goes him playing that role in 4079 03:18:34.520 --> 03:18:35.520 The Guardian. 4080 03:18:35.840 --> 03:18:38.040 I could see is like, yeah, his ties to these things, 4081 03:18:38.040 --> 03:18:41.479 but he's not really tied in with other things. Well, 4082 03:18:41.520 --> 03:18:43.399 with the CIA for the Thorn and all that stuff. 4083 03:18:43.399 --> 03:18:43.920 Fair enough. 4084 03:18:44.000 --> 03:18:46.840 Yeah, Next we have and this is just a couple 4085 03:18:46.879 --> 03:18:48.959 of names, it's not gonna be all of them. Next 4086 03:18:48.959 --> 03:18:52.879 we have Robert Downey Jr. The government affiliation with the 4087 03:18:53.440 --> 03:18:57.639 DoD via Iron Man and Darba parallels. So as iron 4088 03:18:57.680 --> 03:19:01.840 Man RDJ became a walking avatar for the Military Industrial Complex, 4089 03:19:02.079 --> 03:19:06.280 Stark is essentially a DARPA dream, a billionaire tech entrepreneur 4090 03:19:06.319 --> 03:19:07.799 who privatizes war. 4091 03:19:07.639 --> 03:19:09.280 To make it ethical end quotes. 4092 03:19:09.520 --> 03:19:12.479 The military approved the original Iron Man because of this 4093 03:19:12.680 --> 03:19:17.120 very narrative, the redemption of the war profiteer within the system. 4094 03:19:17.600 --> 03:19:20.319 The theory is is that Downey was reborn as a 4095 03:19:20.360 --> 03:19:23.879 public figure only after being broken down and rebuilt by 4096 03:19:23.879 --> 03:19:27.600 Hollywood's elite. His drug struggles made him malleable, and he 4097 03:19:27.719 --> 03:19:32.600 was remade into the perfect symbolic military hero, arrogant but brilliant, 4098 03:19:32.840 --> 03:19:34.239 flawed but righteous. 4099 03:19:35.239 --> 03:19:38.760 That's actually pretty accurate. He he's viewed that way anyway. 4100 03:19:38.879 --> 03:19:41.079 I'm I'm not saying he is or isn't, but yeah, 4101 03:19:41.200 --> 03:19:44.079 I believe he didn't. He wasn't even allowed to receive 4102 03:19:44.200 --> 03:19:48.000 one dollar for his acting on Iron Man until the 4103 03:19:48.040 --> 03:19:51.040 movie was wrapped because they didn't want him to have 4104 03:19:51.079 --> 03:19:53.040 a relapse in the middle of shooting or anything. 4105 03:19:54.200 --> 03:19:54.520 Yep. 4106 03:19:54.959 --> 03:19:57.239 The last actor that we're going to bring up is 4107 03:19:57.360 --> 03:20:02.959 uh oh Ellen DeGeneres Ew. The Government of Affiliation would 4108 03:20:03.000 --> 03:20:08.520 be soft power propaganda, and Pentagon celebrity liaison programs. Ellen 4109 03:20:08.719 --> 03:20:11.040 isn't a war hero on screen, but she plays a 4110 03:20:11.040 --> 03:20:15.680 crucial role in cultural normalization. She's hosted military personnel on 4111 03:20:15.719 --> 03:20:19.040 her show, aired pro military segments, and has been used 4112 03:20:19.040 --> 03:20:22.440 to promote social acceptance of the state through humor and 4113 03:20:22.479 --> 03:20:26.520 emotional appeal. She was also given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 4114 03:20:26.959 --> 03:20:29.680 The theory is is that Ellen by Obama. 4115 03:20:29.719 --> 03:20:30.440 By the way, how. 4116 03:20:30.360 --> 03:20:32.319 About to say, at the same day he was giving 4117 03:20:32.399 --> 03:20:34.959 him away like candy to anybody who is a celebrity. 4118 03:20:35.000 --> 03:20:38.200 But yeah, sure that makes her some sort of a cisset. 4119 03:20:38.239 --> 03:20:41.520 I guess all right, just keep swimming as they say. Wow. 4120 03:20:41.920 --> 03:20:44.239 The theory is is that Ellen is part of the 4121 03:20:44.280 --> 03:20:48.719 emotional siop branch of the entertainment complex, pushing unity, trust 4122 03:20:48.719 --> 03:20:52.600 and institutions, and compliance through comfort. Her public fall from 4123 03:20:52.600 --> 03:20:55.479 grace may suggest that her usefulness had run its course, 4124 03:20:55.600 --> 03:20:58.280 or that she broke from her script, which makes sense 4125 03:20:58.280 --> 03:20:58.719 because I. 4126 03:20:58.639 --> 03:21:01.319 Think she's living in uh where's she living? Not Canada 4127 03:21:01.440 --> 03:21:05.479 but Sweden. I think she's. 4128 03:21:05.319 --> 03:21:06.120 Out of America. 4129 03:21:06.440 --> 03:21:08.920 Yeah, oh good, good good, Fuck that bitch. 4130 03:21:09.360 --> 03:21:12.440 But also, let's not negate her ties to Diddy and 4131 03:21:12.520 --> 03:21:16.520 her ties to Epstein that have become very widely known 4132 03:21:16.559 --> 03:21:19.760 and talked about in the last few years. So I've 4133 03:21:19.879 --> 03:21:23.040 never saw her and thought to myself, wow, Cia is 4134 03:21:23.079 --> 03:21:25.040 probably using her to make us feel some sort of 4135 03:21:25.040 --> 03:21:28.200 emotion because she had military personnel on her show. 4136 03:21:29.000 --> 03:21:30.959 There's tons of talk shows that do the same thing. 4137 03:21:31.040 --> 03:21:35.159 What eh, well, I mean it's subtle, but it's not 4138 03:21:35.159 --> 03:21:35.639 to say thing. 4139 03:21:35.639 --> 03:21:38.600 It doesn't happen. But yeah, actually I just pulled it up. 4140 03:21:38.600 --> 03:21:38.680 So. 4141 03:21:38.760 --> 03:21:42.600 Ellen DeGeneres currently lives in the Cotswolds region of England, 4142 03:21:42.879 --> 03:21:46.559 having moved there with her wife Portia de Rossi after 4143 03:21:46.680 --> 03:21:50.479 leaving the United States once president once Trump was elected. 4144 03:21:50.799 --> 03:21:54.000 The good she actually stood by her word and left. 4145 03:21:54.399 --> 03:21:57.000 You know what, stay there. We don't want you back 4146 03:21:57.479 --> 03:21:57.760 for it. 4147 03:21:57.760 --> 03:21:59.959 No, it's just temporary. She's coming back once Trump's out off, 4148 03:22:00.239 --> 03:22:00.639 she says. 4149 03:22:00.760 --> 03:22:01.120 Fucks. 4150 03:22:02.879 --> 03:22:05.520 So it says that they purchased a farmhouse in the area, 4151 03:22:05.680 --> 03:22:08.879 reportedly worth eh eighteen million dollars. 4152 03:22:10.159 --> 03:22:15.680 Okay, well, my god, yep, all right now the Diddy 4153 03:22:15.760 --> 03:22:17.559 case is going on. She is not trying to be 4154 03:22:17.680 --> 03:22:19.040 anywhere in America right. 4155 03:22:18.920 --> 03:22:21.920 Now, right, Yeah, she was one of the main ones 4156 03:22:21.959 --> 03:22:25.959 there and let's not forget about her set looking like 4157 03:22:26.040 --> 03:22:27.159 fucking Epstein Island? 4158 03:22:27.239 --> 03:22:27.440 You know? 4159 03:22:28.200 --> 03:22:29.120 Do I know what I'm saying? 4160 03:22:29.639 --> 03:22:33.319 Okay, So just to wrap it up here, how the 4161 03:22:33.360 --> 03:22:38.399 system allegedly works is five key points. Here for something 4162 03:22:38.440 --> 03:22:40.479 for you to look out for for just anybody that's 4163 03:22:40.479 --> 03:22:42.159 trying to keep that third eye all the way open 4164 03:22:42.200 --> 03:22:44.479 if you decide to blue pill and watch a Hollywood movie. 4165 03:22:45.440 --> 03:22:48.920 So number one would be the military script approval, so 4166 03:22:49.000 --> 03:22:52.840 the DD and CIA reviews scripts and recommends or vetos 4167 03:22:53.000 --> 03:22:53.879 certain actors. 4168 03:22:54.760 --> 03:22:55.239 How about that. 4169 03:22:56.360 --> 03:22:59.840 Next, you have Hollywood liaisons, so every branch of the 4170 03:22:59.840 --> 03:23:04.479 military has a liaison to Hollywood, who also makes casting suggestions. 4171 03:23:05.760 --> 03:23:09.600 There is number three, which is behavioral control, so stars 4172 03:23:09.639 --> 03:23:14.200 with past addictions, scandals, or compromised private lives are easier 4173 03:23:14.239 --> 03:23:17.520 to reshape into assets. 4174 03:23:17.520 --> 03:23:20.680 Interesting how that works, isn't it? Apps fucking lutely? 4175 03:23:22.760 --> 03:23:25.879 Let's see we got Number four is the media warship, 4176 03:23:26.239 --> 03:23:29.719 so these stars are elevated to godlike status only to 4177 03:23:29.799 --> 03:23:34.319 become transmitters of acceptable ideology. And then, of course there's 4178 03:23:34.360 --> 03:23:37.559 a reward system, so those who play along get oscars 4179 03:23:37.680 --> 03:23:40.559 protection and massive pr machines behind them. 4180 03:23:41.920 --> 03:23:42.440 Wow. 4181 03:23:42.920 --> 03:23:44.799 Yeah, it's dirty, it's dirty. 4182 03:23:45.239 --> 03:23:45.719 I mean, you. 4183 03:23:45.719 --> 03:23:49.200 See how the Oscars are awarded and how these SAG 4184 03:23:49.280 --> 03:23:52.120 Awards are actually handed out and all of these it's 4185 03:23:52.559 --> 03:23:55.600 it's a rig system, like and we've known that for years. 4186 03:23:55.719 --> 03:23:59.399 Leo DiCaprio made arguably the best movie of the year 4187 03:23:59.440 --> 03:24:02.280 for like third teen years and never gott an oscar 4188 03:24:02.920 --> 03:24:05.879 until he finally was given it for The Revenant, which 4189 03:24:05.920 --> 03:24:09.360 wasn't a bad movie by any means, but like wasn't. No, dude, 4190 03:24:09.440 --> 03:24:11.879 he could have he should have been awarded that so 4191 03:24:12.079 --> 03:24:14.680 many times over, but because he wasn't quote unquote playing 4192 03:24:14.760 --> 03:24:16.719 the game, you know, I guess, I don't know. 4193 03:24:17.079 --> 03:24:18.600 I mean, I think he could. He should have got 4194 03:24:18.639 --> 03:24:20.280 it for Inception, maybe. 4195 03:24:20.159 --> 03:24:23.040 For Inception, for catch Me if you can. For I 4196 03:24:23.079 --> 03:24:25.040 would even argue Titanic. 4197 03:24:24.680 --> 03:24:31.559 Blood Diamond, blood, come on now, blood diamond, Yes, but yeah, sure, Revenant, 4198 03:24:31.559 --> 03:24:34.159 which again not a bad movie, and him being a 4199 03:24:34.239 --> 03:24:38.000 vegan and he actually ate real bear liver on camera 4200 03:24:38.079 --> 03:24:40.840 to make it look realistic, and like I'm I'm giving 4201 03:24:40.879 --> 03:24:43.520 the respect and the props for they're due, but like, yeah, 4202 03:24:43.559 --> 03:24:46.680 you could obviously see of the people that was awarded 4203 03:24:46.680 --> 03:24:50.840 that every year and not him. It's rigged because certain 4204 03:24:50.879 --> 03:24:55.040 people are part of the click, and certain people haven't 4205 03:24:55.040 --> 03:24:56.280 paid their dues enough yet. 4206 03:24:56.360 --> 03:25:00.559 I guess yeah, Well, that that leaves us with question 4207 03:25:00.840 --> 03:25:06.319 of are they aware? So some likely know exactly what 4208 03:25:06.399 --> 03:25:08.959 they're a part of, like Ashton Kutcher. Others may be 4209 03:25:10.040 --> 03:25:13.719 useful idiots, willing participants who enjoy fame and don't question 4210 03:25:13.799 --> 03:25:18.200 the machinery. A few maybe handlers in disguise, controlling others 4211 03:25:18.239 --> 03:25:21.879 while appearing as fellow celebrities. Whether aware or not, these 4212 03:25:21.879 --> 03:25:25.959 actors are part of a sophisticated subconscious engineering operation, a 4213 03:25:26.000 --> 03:25:29.600 soft weapon wielded not with bullets, but with box office 4214 03:25:29.680 --> 03:25:33.799 hits and Instagram reels. So, just to wrap it up here, 4215 03:25:34.879 --> 03:25:37.399 when you watch a film or a show produced with 4216 03:25:37.440 --> 03:25:42.200 government backing, you're not just watching entertainment. You're watching cultural engineering. 4217 03:25:42.479 --> 03:25:45.319 You're seeing warfare not on a battlefield, but in the 4218 03:25:45.360 --> 03:25:49.840 battlefield of the mind. The Pentagon, the CIA, Homeland Security, 4219 03:25:50.079 --> 03:25:52.760 they know the power of narrative. They don't just want 4220 03:25:52.760 --> 03:25:54.760 your money, they want your belief. 4221 03:25:55.959 --> 03:25:58.399 No, Yeah, that's what. 4222 03:25:58.360 --> 03:26:01.600 It's all about right there, And I believe that as well. 4223 03:26:01.639 --> 03:26:05.360 There's probably some that know exactly how they're being used 4224 03:26:05.360 --> 03:26:05.680 and are. 4225 03:26:05.600 --> 03:26:08.280 Completely fine with the tom Cruise. I believe he is 4226 03:26:08.399 --> 03:26:12.079 fully aware that he is being used to sensationalize certain things, 4227 03:26:12.479 --> 03:26:15.000 and he's fine with it. He doesn't care. It's whatever. 4228 03:26:15.159 --> 03:26:17.040 What difference does it make to him if somebody joins 4229 03:26:17.079 --> 03:26:19.879 the Navy because they saw top Gun, or somebody becomes 4230 03:26:19.920 --> 03:26:22.479 an agent with the CIA because they saw Mission impossible. 4231 03:26:22.479 --> 03:26:24.920 What fucking no skin is it off his nose? He's 4232 03:26:24.959 --> 03:26:25.760 making millions. 4233 03:26:26.319 --> 03:26:27.959 But then whenever you look at his ties with the 4234 03:26:28.040 --> 03:26:31.520 Church of Scientology, and we did an episode about that 4235 03:26:31.600 --> 03:26:35.719 operation that they did, right Operations snow White, where they 4236 03:26:35.799 --> 03:26:40.360 infiltrated the CIA for the sole purpose of taking out 4237 03:26:40.600 --> 03:26:45.799 valuable information on cases against certain members of the Scientology Church. Yeah, 4238 03:26:45.799 --> 03:26:48.319 I think he's one hundred percent in the know, but 4239 03:26:48.719 --> 03:26:51.639 he doesn't care. He's playing his role both on screen 4240 03:26:51.680 --> 03:26:53.920 and off screen. Hey, I don't care where the money's 4241 03:26:53.959 --> 03:26:57.239 coming from. It's coming don't question it kind of deal. 4242 03:26:57.840 --> 03:27:01.000 And then there are certain groups or people like that 4243 03:27:01.079 --> 03:27:03.079 are the useful idiots. They're just playing their role. 4244 03:27:03.799 --> 03:27:06.840 Robert Downey Junior, for instance, he was this recovering drug 4245 03:27:06.840 --> 03:27:09.520 addict and Hollywood elites brought him to a room one 4246 03:27:09.600 --> 03:27:11.719 day and said, all right, kid, here's the deal. We're 4247 03:27:11.719 --> 03:27:13.639 gonna give you a second shot, this whole rich and 4248 03:27:13.680 --> 03:27:16.559 famous thing, but you're gonna play it our way or 4249 03:27:16.600 --> 03:27:20.719 you're gonna have a crazy accident happen. And that's just 4250 03:27:20.719 --> 03:27:23.319 how we're gonna be. We're not gonna soak millions and 4251 03:27:23.440 --> 03:27:25.920 billions of dollars into a franchise with your name on 4252 03:27:26.000 --> 03:27:27.719 it for you to go fuck off and ruin it 4253 03:27:27.760 --> 03:27:28.200 all again. 4254 03:27:28.280 --> 03:27:30.879 And think about it like this too. Iron Man was 4255 03:27:31.120 --> 03:27:34.840 never the head of Marvel never ever, ever ever, right, 4256 03:27:35.200 --> 03:27:39.840 But you get military industrial complex behind it, It's like 4257 03:27:40.000 --> 03:27:42.879 that's their fucking stars, that's their superstar. I mean, you're 4258 03:27:42.920 --> 03:27:46.280 not gonna be able to push so much Military industrial 4259 03:27:46.319 --> 03:27:48.680 complex or DoD or any of these kind of things 4260 03:27:48.719 --> 03:27:50.879 so much with like a Spider Man, you know what 4261 03:27:50.920 --> 03:27:52.719 I mean, like maybe a little bit. I mean I 4262 03:27:52.760 --> 03:27:54.840 know that there's there's probably some military shit going on 4263 03:27:54.879 --> 03:27:57.040 in there too, don't get me wrong. But as far 4264 03:27:57.120 --> 03:28:03.120 as tech and surveillance, is it surveillance or surveillance surveillance? 4265 03:28:03.120 --> 03:28:04.600 So you said it, right, why do I fuck that up? 4266 03:28:05.719 --> 03:28:07.600 To your point, Spider Man with the Green Goblin, he 4267 03:28:07.680 --> 03:28:10.120 was a military guy. He was creating a thing to 4268 03:28:10.120 --> 03:28:12.440 make him a super soldier. He had a glider, so like, yeah, 4269 03:28:12.440 --> 03:28:17.000 you saw hints at it, exactly right. Or the other 4270 03:28:17.040 --> 03:28:19.959 one with the Doctor was Octavia or whatever the octopus dude, 4271 03:28:20.000 --> 03:28:23.879 doc oc, Yeah there's or what's the newer one right 4272 03:28:23.920 --> 03:28:24.719 with your boy. 4273 03:28:26.159 --> 03:28:26.399 Ship? 4274 03:28:26.479 --> 03:28:28.120 Oh you're thinking. 4275 03:28:27.840 --> 03:28:30.559 Of not the spider Man, the bad guy who played 4276 03:28:30.600 --> 03:28:35.319 on Jack Frost Batman, Michael Michael Keaton. I say Keith 4277 03:28:35.360 --> 03:28:36.879 for Sutherland. I knew that what was in the guy 4278 03:28:36.959 --> 03:28:40.399 he talked Sutherland earlier. But yeah, Michael Keaton, he's using 4279 03:28:40.639 --> 03:28:43.719 advanced military tech and he is salvaging it and selling 4280 03:28:43.719 --> 03:28:45.799 it on the black market, all of these things. Right, 4281 03:28:46.200 --> 03:28:49.399 you see subtle hints at it, But it doesn't send 4282 03:28:49.440 --> 03:28:53.959 the same message as Tony Stark iron Man Stark Industries. 4283 03:28:54.520 --> 03:28:58.440 That's a different conversation, kind of in the same flavor variety, 4284 03:28:58.719 --> 03:29:00.000 but completely different intentions. 4285 03:29:00.520 --> 03:29:03.120 Well and just as far as UH think about it, 4286 03:29:03.159 --> 03:29:07.200 even from a psychological standpoint, dude, I bet you they 4287 03:29:07.360 --> 03:29:11.159 they're they're diddling with the Doctor Strange script a little 4288 03:29:11.159 --> 03:29:11.520 bit too. 4289 03:29:12.559 --> 03:29:15.280 It's possible. I think I've seen it. 4290 03:29:15.559 --> 03:29:17.920 Oh dude, fuck, I loved the Doctor Strange movies, but 4291 03:29:17.959 --> 03:29:20.159 I don't doubt that there's some kind of government you know, 4292 03:29:20.239 --> 03:29:23.840 interference going on in those. But anyway, all right, so 4293 03:29:24.000 --> 03:29:26.840 the third eye all the way opened here, Uh, just 4294 03:29:26.840 --> 03:29:29.600 to wrap this bad boy up. Not all propaganda where's 4295 03:29:29.639 --> 03:29:32.639 a uniform? Even your favorite sci fi thriller may be 4296 03:29:32.840 --> 03:29:37.159 laced with behavioral engineering. The best propaganda is entertaining, and 4297 03:29:37.200 --> 03:29:40.600 it's hidden in plain sight. From scarfaces, rise and fall 4298 03:29:40.680 --> 03:29:44.520 to inceptions, dream layers to the matrix simulation, you're being 4299 03:29:44.559 --> 03:29:49.360 shown truth through fiction, so uh so, uh so you 4300 03:29:49.559 --> 03:29:52.360 won't ask questions in real life. So the next time 4301 03:29:52.399 --> 03:29:55.520 you feel inspired by a brave soldier or a daring spy, 4302 03:29:56.239 --> 03:29:59.920 ask yourself whose story is being told and who benefits 4303 03:30:00.399 --> 03:30:02.799 uh from your belief in it? Because if your third 4304 03:30:02.840 --> 03:30:05.239 eye is all the way open, the screen isn't just 4305 03:30:05.319 --> 03:30:06.280 a window. 4306 03:30:06.440 --> 03:30:07.120 It's a weapon. 4307 03:30:08.399 --> 03:30:11.280 I agree. Fuck god, this is a cool episode, dude. 4308 03:30:11.280 --> 03:30:13.479 We talked about all kinds of crazy shit on this one. 4309 03:30:13.799 --> 03:30:16.319 Fuck yeah, this was one of the more deeper episodes 4310 03:30:16.360 --> 03:30:19.319 that we've done, and uh yeah, I love looking into 4311 03:30:19.319 --> 03:30:22.959 the psychological fucking engineering of all of it, dude, because 4312 03:30:23.159 --> 03:30:25.319 it's all mass hypnosis, which is the reason why I 4313 03:30:25.360 --> 03:30:27.079 love you know, learning about all the you know, the 4314 03:30:27.120 --> 03:30:30.520 hypnosis and the past life regression, because I mean, the 4315 03:30:30.559 --> 03:30:38.280 best way to convince somebody something that they aren't necessarily 4316 03:30:38.319 --> 03:30:42.920 convinced of would be through subliminal programming, right, And that's 4317 03:30:43.040 --> 03:30:44.680 that was one of the key things of why I 4318 03:30:44.719 --> 03:30:47.159 was so inspired by to even learn about that kind 4319 03:30:47.159 --> 03:30:49.440 of shit, because I mean, once you understand how the 4320 03:30:49.479 --> 03:30:54.000 human mind works, you're it's almost like, instead of battling 4321 03:30:54.079 --> 03:30:58.879 through might, it's just you know, uh, learning neurolinguistic programming 4322 03:30:58.920 --> 03:31:02.120 and the key of suggestion and and you know, stuff 4323 03:31:02.159 --> 03:31:03.680 like that. Not that I do that within past live 4324 03:31:03.719 --> 03:31:06.799 aggressions obviously from everybody, but I it's it's the same 4325 03:31:06.840 --> 03:31:09.280 reason why on meta mysteries, I love looking into the 4326 03:31:09.280 --> 03:31:12.000 occult and I love looking into dark magic and witchcraft. 4327 03:31:12.079 --> 03:31:14.440 Not because I'm gonna do it. I just love learning 4328 03:31:14.440 --> 03:31:18.680 how it works. That's it, you know. But yeah, dude, 4329 03:31:19.159 --> 03:31:22.239 fun fun episode. I was happy that we were that 4330 03:31:22.280 --> 03:31:24.280 I was able to bring this. You knew a lot 4331 03:31:24.360 --> 03:31:27.799 about how the operations go, and you know, certain military 4332 03:31:27.840 --> 03:31:30.040 movies and whatnot, So yeah, I mean, when you. 4333 03:31:30.079 --> 03:31:33.920 Scratched the surface, there's tons of movies that go way 4334 03:31:34.000 --> 03:31:36.879 further back, like there was a Navy Seal movie with 4335 03:31:37.000 --> 03:31:39.200 Charlie Sheen in it from the early nineties that was 4336 03:31:39.239 --> 03:31:44.360 a complete propaganda piece there. Look, there's a long list, 4337 03:31:44.840 --> 03:31:46.760 long list of movies that have been done not just 4338 03:31:46.799 --> 03:31:50.680 for military propaganda, or for agency propaganda. 4339 03:31:50.120 --> 03:31:54.120 Or for just overall American patriotism propaganda. But yeah, the 4340 03:31:54.159 --> 03:31:55.920 list goes on and on. These are just some of 4341 03:31:55.959 --> 03:31:58.799 the ones that you good cult member listening might be 4342 03:31:58.840 --> 03:32:01.639 able to recognize from the past twenty thirty years or so. 4343 03:32:01.639 --> 03:32:03.520 So I thought this is an excellent take. 4344 03:32:03.840 --> 03:32:04.600 Absolutely. 4345 03:32:04.639 --> 03:32:07.079 Look, and if you loved this episode, or you want 4346 03:32:07.079 --> 03:32:09.319 to be able to reach out to us for anything 4347 03:32:09.440 --> 03:32:11.159 at on, you want to be able to support the show, 4348 03:32:11.440 --> 03:32:12.879 we have a couple of ways in which you can 4349 03:32:12.920 --> 03:32:14.239 support us outside of Patreon. 4350 03:32:14.959 --> 03:32:18.200 Indeed, the best way to message me would be on Patreon. 4351 03:32:18.239 --> 03:32:20.159 The best way to message Jonathan would be on all 4352 03:32:20.200 --> 03:32:22.559 of the other apps.
