I'm James Lylyx in bone achingly called Minneapolis, but 19 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.359 the Vikes are eleven and two and I'm joined by 20 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.840 Charles W. Cook in Florida where the jaguars are in 21 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.879 the Little Trine but I assume it's warm. And Stephen Heyward, 22 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.280 who is where exactly? 23 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.560 I'm in the LA area today? 24 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.879 I'm finally back from running around over in Europe for 25 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:17.480 an earlier month. 26 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:18.560 But I'm back on the. 27 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.439 Left coast like a colossus. 28 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.200 We straddle the nation before we get to the interesting 29 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.400 things of the day. Something else that is an interesting 30 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:31.439 thing of the day. I understand, Charlie, that you survived 31 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:32.599 a restaurant explosion. 32 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:40.200 This is so bizarre that I still can't believe that 33 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.680 it happened, and I especially can't believe normal was hurt badly. 34 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.319 Yesterday I went for lunch with a friend. We sat 35 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.040 at the bar, as we often do. The bar is 36 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.640 relatively close to the kitchen, and about eight to ten 37 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:01.000 minutes into having sat down, we order glass of wine 38 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.000 and there is an almighty explosion, and the rush of 39 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.360 air that comes out of the kitchen, along with a 40 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.120 noise I've never heard before, pushes us partially off our seats. 41 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.400 It was that straw. 42 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.199 And we quickly looked around and realized we were fine, 43 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:28.159 no pain, all our limbs still on. And we look 44 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.919 over at the kitchen and it's evident that the oven 45 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.000 in the restaurant's kitchen has. 46 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.439 Exploded and the doors have flown off. 47 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.919 And I thought, all right, I'm fine, but someone's dead 48 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:44.479 in the kitchen. 49 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:45.680 That was my next fear. 50 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.280 Was not for myself, because by this point it was 51 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.520 clear that I was fine, and my friend was fine, 52 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.759 and everyone else around us was fine. But I thought 53 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:54.840 someone must be dead in the kitchen because it was 54 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.120 an enormous explosion that's caused damage to the restaurant, and 55 00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:59.879 the doors have flown off, and we were nearly knocked 56 00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:00.759 up our seats and so on. 57 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.280 Well, no one was, as it happened. 58 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.960 The chef who had been operating the oven had walked 59 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.759 out of the kitchen on the other side just before 60 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.919 this happened, so he was fine. The others in the 61 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.639 kitchen were too far away from the oven to have 62 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.400 been hit by anything. But it was just the most 63 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.599 bizarre thing that has happened to me in a long time, 64 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.199 and it really does make you realize. 65 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.120 How random life can be. 66 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.520 I mean, we didn't go to that restaurant because it's 67 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.159 some sort of tradition. We don't go there every week. 68 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:36.879 I just said, you want to have lunch, he said, 69 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.759 When I said twelve, he said sure. I said, you know, 70 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.560 I won't mention it. I don't want to get them 71 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.000 in the bad books. But I said, what about there, 72 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.080 and he said, sure, why not? I mean, I could 73 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:49.919 have picked any other restaurant off the top of my head. 74 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.599 There's a bunch of them, and it would just happened 75 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.120 to be that when it just happened to me after 76 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.599 we sat down, had things been slightly different, I suppose 77 00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:59.800 I could be telling this story now from the hospital. 78 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.439 But really, apparently what had. 79 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.520 Happened was that the oven was new, it had only 80 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.240 just been installed, and when it had been installed, something 81 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.120 evidently had gone wrong in the installation process. Someone had 82 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.879 screwed up, and they'd been a build up of gas, 83 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.719 which then. 84 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.519 I was gonna blame it on your soufle you ordered try. 85 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.759 But my goodness me, what a bizarre experience. I still 86 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.319 can't believe it happened. I woke up this morning, I thought, did. 87 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:28.839 I dream that? But no, I didn't. 88 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.240 I hope they comped your desserts. At least they didn't. 89 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.639 You know, that's a weird thing, is I was waiting 90 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.199 for them to say, obviously, this glass of wine is 91 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:44.360 on us, because you know we killed you right. 92 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.680 Well, we're glad you survived. 93 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.319 And gas explosions do not usually end well, and this 94 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.920 one seems to have done so so good. We can 95 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.680 take that one off. You can look over your shoulder 96 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.120 for a little while, wondering if actually the gods are 97 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.120 throwing bolts down at you and missing. But but but 98 00:04:59.319 --> 00:04:59.759 we hope not. 99 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.199 I tell you a twenty second story just before you start. 100 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.639 Of course, absolutely killed me recently. So I was reading 101 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.279 this book about the Second World War, and when bombs 102 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.959 started falling on London, it was clear that they had 103 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.959 come from airplanes, and so the public was aware of 104 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.079 what was going on. But when the Germans started developing 105 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.120 their rockets, you couldn't see or hear them until the 106 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.639 last minute, and the British found out what was happening, 107 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.279 but they didn't want the Germans to know that they 108 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.079 knew what was happening, and so they weren't allowed to 109 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.040 acknowledge or report on it. And so the British government's 110 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.639 line when the V ones and V two started hitting 111 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.519 London was their gas maines. It's a gas explosion. And 112 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.360 so the British public was much smarter than this. Started 113 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.680 Riley describing the explosions to each other as flying gas maines. 114 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.879 Oh that's tremendous. Ah, Yes, that indomitable British spirit, the 115 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.319 stiff upper lip in the face of et cetera. Well, 116 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.600 that's grand. Let us cast ourize about the country. We 117 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.839 will be talking about the killer of the Bryant of 118 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.680 the United Healthcare CEO a little bit later, and things 119 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.839 in New York. Penny wise. One of the things that 120 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.759 caught my eye this morning was Jim Garritty at National 121 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.959 Review gave a tweet thread which was also a piece 122 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.519 that he wrote for n R, detailing the number of 123 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.600 the exact crimes of the people who have been pardoned 124 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.680 by the administration. Now, we always expect that, you know, 125 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:26.959 when you look at these and like, oh, I already 126 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.920 pardon that guy? Whoa, Yeah, that wouldn't that doesn't sound fair, 127 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.319 We kind of shrug and we're accustomed to it. But 128 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.480 it does seem like a remarkable list of financial fraunsters. 129 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:40.800 And for an administration and a party that is supposedly 130 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.439 on behalf of the little people against those elites who 131 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.480 extract money from the system becauld satisfy their raw capitalistic urges, 132 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.639 it's quite quite the rundown. Stephen. 133 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.800 Yeah, you know, I think what's going on here, and 134 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.000 I think we'll want to scrutinize the list closely see 135 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.240 if Jim Biden and other members of the family or 136 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.319 snuck in under a pseudonym or something, right, I mean, 137 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.040 it doesn't seem that maybe it's preparing the ground for 138 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.160 those self serving pardons that he wants to give. But 139 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.000 it also makes my mind run back to those flurry 140 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.240 of pardons that Bill Clinton gave on his last day 141 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.800 in office, which we remember Mark Rich, you know, had 142 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.759 what he debated, one hundred million dollars in taxes or something, 143 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.000 and lots and lots of other people, including as I recall, 144 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.399 one person who had been jailed whose crime I don't 145 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.560 know why it's a federal crime was rolling back automobile odometers. 146 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.480 How did that guy qualify for a pardon? Well, I 147 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.560 think the psychological explanation then was this was Clinton stabbing 148 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.439 back at the prosecutorial mindset that led to Ken's starr 149 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.759 and this was just him lashing out and latching back 150 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.480 and wanting to poke an eye in the law enforcement. 151 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.279 So here's Biden who's looking to top Clinton's perfidy and 152 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.600 abuse of the pardon power. I mean, the one that 153 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.000 jumps out of me is the lady in Illinois who 154 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.480 embezzled fifty three million dollars from the city of Dixon. 155 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.720 Not a major I don't know if it's a major 156 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.879 city or not in Illinois. It's not Chicago. But that's 157 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.680 a lot of money. And this is a fairly recent conviction, 158 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.000 I think, And he's pardoned this person, and I, you know, 159 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.360 I bat one to me, is where what's the case 160 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.480 for leniency there? 161 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:17.879 I can't. 162 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.920 I have a hard time making one out except that 163 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.439 this is Biden again trying to like emulate Bill Clinton. 164 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.519 And maybe it's part of Biden's psychology of still being 165 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.720 mad that he was pushed out of the the re election. 166 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.679 Campaign that assumes that he's behind these things at all. 167 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:33.840 Charles, do you think, so. 168 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.200 Did she give the money to the Democrats? 169 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:40.679 I did not, good question. 170 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:41.240 I don't know. 171 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.720 And Charles, you believe that actually the president was responsible 172 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.480 for these himselves, drawing up the name after careful consultation 173 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.320 and deep thought as he walked around the office with 174 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.440 his hands clasped behind his bed, weighing this gate back, 175 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:54.879 weighing the scales of justice, and so. 176 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.600 Well, I think you mean ran around the office during 177 00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.120 one on push ups and play. 178 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.279 You're right, you're right, we forget that he had that 179 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:07.559 remarkable spirit and so yeah, no, probably a Stafford. But again, 180 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.919 you just wonder exactly what's going on behind. Three of them, 181 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.000 from what I understand, were Chinese spies whose arrangement had 182 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.840 been whose swap had been worked out before. Now the 183 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.559 whole spying thing does bring to mind something else that's 184 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.799 going on in New Jersey, where the government is telling 185 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.000 us now that they appear to be lawful manned aircraft 186 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.919 to these drawings, but we really can't tell you much 187 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.960 more about that, my favorite being, of course, that they're 188 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.919 all coming from an Iranian ship offshore or disappearing into 189 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.960 a submerged Iranian base or some nonsense like that, or 190 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.919 that they're from other planets, or that they are a 191 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:49.200 manifestation of American technology that is light years beyond what 192 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.399 we can imagine and manifest itself as four D plasma bile. 193 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.759 I don't know what to think. I don't know what 194 00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.559 to think. So let me ask you, guys, what do 195 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:00.360 you think is going on? 196 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:01.879 I have no idea. 197 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.799 Pardon me, wants to think if you're going to do 198 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.000 tinfoil had things, it's the latest products of area fifty one, 199 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.919 or it turned out that that famous Orson Wells broadcast 200 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.000 from nineteen thirty eight was a documentary. 201 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.559 It was just ahead of its time. They were now 202 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:16.720 getting the martial invasion. 203 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.159 I don't know. I think we. 204 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.840 I mean, you've probably seen some pictures and accounts of this. 205 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.679 You know it's sports stadiums now security is equipped with 206 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.799 these Essentially, I'm going to say there's something like, you know, 207 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.600 electromagnetic pulse guns or something to shoot down or capture 208 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.200 drones and bring them to the ground, because you don't 209 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.279 want drones flying around a sports stadium when you don't 210 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.600 know what they are. And so I don't understand why 211 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.759 somebody isn't bringing down these drones in New Jersey, which 212 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.960 makes me think that maybe it's our guys testing these 213 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:46.559 drones out. 214 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.960 Yeah, if we let it out that those things were 215 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.720 full of copper, there would be guys, there would be 216 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.759 tweakers out there bringing those things down in a halo 217 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.960 of ar fifteen fire. Charles, what do you think is 218 00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.320 going on? 219 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.840 I've been a little skeptical overall because years upon years 220 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:13.679 of supposed UFO sightings have brought us only very grainy photographs. 221 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:19.639 But I just saw that. The governor, former governor of Maryland, 222 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.559 Larry Hogan, tweeted out that he's seen these things and 223 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.879 he's alarmed by it and he's angry with the federal government. Now, 224 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.039 Larry Hogan is on the opposite end of the spectrum 225 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:36.720 of a conspiracy theorist of somebody who is excitable. He 226 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:41.759 is probably somewhat of a skeptic like myself. I mean, 227 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.519 I just want to be clear. I'm not a Larry 228 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:47.559 Hogan Conservative, but that's my point is that he is 229 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.840 not the sort of person you would expect to come 230 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.919 out and say I saw it, and yet he just did. 231 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:59.799 So there's clearly something going on. I've thought up until 232 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:04.240 now that maybe these were just refracted light or planes, 233 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:05.879 because the videos are all sped up. 234 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.559 I don't know, James, it's beginning to make. 235 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.559 One weather balloons. 236 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:13.519 Well, as I said to my wife the other day 237 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.960 as I was sculpting Devil's Tower out of mashed potatoes, 238 00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:20.519 it does not. 239 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.559 I mean, the least likely. 240 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.240 Thing is that this is the beginning of some sort 241 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:29.120 of revelatory episode and that we have been we have 242 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.000 been groomed and massaged for the last two years with 243 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.960 stories of UAPs and tic TACs and verified photographs from 244 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.440 navy flyers showing these things traveling at absurd velocity and 245 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.600 doing things that physics ought not to let them do. 246 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.039 There it's been the dribs and the drabs and the 247 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.759 drabs and the dribs and the drip, drip drip of 248 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.440 all this stuff, which says with the government practically saying, yeah, 249 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.559 the real we don't know what they are, but they're 250 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.759 not ours, not a foreign power to know if they're 251 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:05.120 from Dunnald, you know, we're stomped, frankly, and then you 252 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.360 will have somebody come back and walk that back, and 253 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:08.120 then you will have. 254 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.240 The usual whistleblowers. 255 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.679 Believe me, if you're if you spend any time in 256 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:16.039 the subreddits that are devoted to these things, you will 257 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.519 find that the the the chattering ecosystem of people who 258 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.159 who swear that they've been on the inside and they 259 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.799 know what's going on and have been releasing all this information. 260 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.080 Is extraordinary, and. 261 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.840 Within this sphere exists nonsense upon nonsense that actually we're 262 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.639 finally seeing the manifestation of the reptilian race that lives 263 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.440 beneath the earth, that is coming up to your work 264 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.480 it's a while to the people who are just no, 265 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.799 we have the faintest idea, to the Tucker Carlson types 266 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.440 who are saying, actually, actually they're demons. 267 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.519 But we have had so much rapid change. 268 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.720 In this in the last two or three years that 269 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.799 it would seem that we're a little bit more psychologically 270 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.879 ready to say, yeah, they are UFOs, they're from another planet. Yeah, 271 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.679 non human intelligence. But that I guess that's all we know. 272 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.320 Guess we're not alone. Let's move along. What's on what's 273 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:09.000 on Netflix? 274 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.440 Oh but look, you know, you know what happened James, 275 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.559 is that the first time the government comes out and 276 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.960 says that the subreddits or another group of them will 277 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.679 come out and say, ah, this is just a distraction 278 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.200 by the government so they can really unfold what they're really. 279 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.039 Going to do, which is the invasion of Siria or something. 280 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:24.480 I don't know. 281 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.000 Yeah, it's all a distraction, but it's weird. I mean, 282 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.399 it's like we're finally being told that yes, it's real, 283 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.960 there are aliens, but it's it somehow has the public 284 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.679 profile of an Apple television show. I mean in that 285 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.240 it's it's out, it's out there, but it's not. It's 286 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.519 not top of the news. So I mean in Close 287 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.759 Encounters of the Third Kind, which is a wonderful movie 288 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.000 back in the and I think kicked off the whole. 289 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.120 You don't want they're on our side. They're great, right, 290 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.759 they got they smile, they bring our lost airman back. 291 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:56.360 You know, they're they're. 292 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.000 Really interesting dudes, and musical too. We can jam with them. 293 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.519 It led a whole sort of. 294 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.279 You know, we're going to get along. It's gonna be nice, 295 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:08.840 it's going to be good. And I think that this 296 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.279 sort of doesn't feel like that at all. 297 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.600 You know, it's more aliens for Trump to deport. 298 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.240 I was actually going to say something else about Trump, 299 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.440 which is, if you were writing American history, the aliens 300 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:24.159 would have course shot while Donald Trump was president. That 301 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:27.799 would be inevitable, right, There's no other president that you 302 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.240 would want to be in office other than Donald Trump. 303 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:31.879 If the aliens are coming down. 304 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.080 Right, well, I want the little Grays who were about 305 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.960 three and a half feet tall, to be standing there 306 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:40.039 while it gives them that big downward mechron handshake, you know, 307 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.759 that a big thrusting. 308 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.480 We were to find out whether Ronald Reagan was right 309 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.480 when he said in the eighties. If Aliens came down, 310 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.360 we would soon discover that we had no differences anymore 311 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.720 in all of our politics. Was a contrivance, which, while 312 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.240 I love Reagan, I've always thought was nonsense. But we 313 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.120 would get to find out whether that was true or not. 314 00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.399 Well, it depends. 315 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.480 You remember Bill Pullman at the end of Independence Day 316 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.360 when he declared it to be a global universal human holiday. 317 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:06.080 That we would have. 318 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.360 Won reelection though, and he would have done so easily 319 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.639 because he's obviously a Republican because he hates the environment. 320 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.159 Right, he would not only have been. 321 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.320 The guy who destroyed the Aliens, but most of the 322 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.159 West and East coasts were destroyed. 323 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.399 His electoral College victory could have been perfect. 324 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.639 Well, he did nuke Texas. I think he did. 325 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:29.759 James Houston right, so, which I endorse. FYI is a 326 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.039 hatred of the Texans and the Astros. 327 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:35.279 Look, I'm just saying that if we knewked, if we knuked. 328 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.279 Houston, the Houston Astros and the Houston Texans would no 329 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.440 longer exist, which would mean that the Yankees would probably 330 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.600 have a couple more World Series. This happened back in 331 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.639 ninety six and the Jacksonville Jaguars would have won the 332 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:48.320 AFC South three or four more times. 333 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.039 So I'm just I'm just looking at the upside. 334 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.120 James, Well, that's good, you know. Speaking as a Vikings 335 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:55.399 fan here, I find absolutely no need to drawn my 336 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.639 soros when I watch my team perform on Like some of. 337 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.120 You know, I deserve this because I But. 338 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.639 If I and so I don't drown my sorrows, I 339 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.920 may have a tiple to elevate them as we as 340 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.559 we slap high fives and to proclaim our victorious season 341 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.319 of wonder. But let me tell you something, though, I 342 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:14.119 got a Monday night coming up game. 343 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.599 Next week, and be a little careful. You gotta be 344 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.000 careful with your party. It's like this. There's a sure 345 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:21.880 far away to wake up. 346 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.119 Feeling fresh after a night of tippling, and that's with 347 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:28.119 pre alcohol z biotics. Pre alcohol probiotic drink is the 348 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:32.880 world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD 349 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.480 scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. There's how it works. 350 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.200 When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct 351 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.519 in your gut, and it is this byproduct, not dehydration. 352 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.960 It's to blame for your rough next day. Pre alcohol 353 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.640 produces an enzyme to break this by product down. So 354 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.000 just remember to make z biotics your first drink the night. 355 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.119 Drink responsibly, of course, and you'll feel your best tomorrow. 356 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.359 You know, I have been hearing about this stuff, and 357 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.720 I have been using this stuff because they sent it 358 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.200 to me and I wanted to see if it works, 359 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:05.920 and I wouldn't be here to tell you if it didn't.

But I want to get 377 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.799 you guys, see what your take on it is. I'm 378 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.359 of the position that if somebody says murderer is bad butt, 379 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:09.839 than everything that they say before the butt, the fulk 380 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.759 crumb of the butt in their argument, should be disregarded 381 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:14.680 the people who are saying or at least we're having 382 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.799 a conversation about this. No, we should be having a 383 00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.519 conversation about people who kill people in streets and that's 384 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.799 the only conversation we should be having. Or as some 385 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.720 people are pointing out, well look the anesthesiologists, you know, 386 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:29.480 they came to them right away. This is this is 387 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.200 proof the direct action works. 388 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:33.440 No. No. 389 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.880 Most interesting thing that I heard somebody say was going 390 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:39.960 back to a Slate Star Codex blog post a long 391 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:41.839 time ago about how there used to be the Red 392 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.640 tribe and the Blue tribe and now we have the 393 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.920 rise of the Gray tribe. Which are these sort of 394 00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:50.359 twenty something thirty something tech guys who are sort of 395 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.720 quasi libertarian, ethical altruists into all kinds of sort of 396 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:59.759 spiritualistical stuff, but not really post religion post and that 397 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.759 this guy seems to fit that profile, which is one 398 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.039 of the reasons that the online people, the two online people, 399 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.119 the people from teapot or that part of Twitter, seems 400 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:11.799 to have embraced him as their champion. 401 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.039
