Chapo Trap House - 993 - From the Columbia River to the Sea feat. Andrew Hudson (12/8/25)

Episode Date: December 9, 2025

Andrew Hudson of E1 returns to talk about a grab bag of recent news: Marie Glusenkamp Perez’s war on pinnipeds, Alex Karp’s tweaked-out media hits, and another vaccine on the RFK’s chopping block. We then turn to Milo Yiannopoulos, who just recently made the equally outrageous claims that Charlie Kirk is still alive and Benny Johnson is actually gay. Finally, Tarantino’s unbearable public persona, the Ellison-Zaslav war over Warner Bros.’ future, and a lot of praise for a recent genre movie.

All right All I want to be is a trouble All I want to be is a trouble Hello, everybody, I hope you're going to be shopping and old St. Nick will be visiting all of us soon enough.

On today's episode, Felix and I were pleased to have our good friend Andrew Hudson back in the house with us. Andrew, welcome back. Yo, what's up, boys? Nothing much. Everything is going splendidly, as I mentioned. But it's sort of a mix of topics on today's show. But there is one thing I would like to address at the top of the show that I did mention, we mentioned this briefly on our last episode with Matt, but I do think it warrants just a little further investigation from us. And I am speaking, of course, about the unlimited Pinnipad genocide that is currently being plotted in the Great Pacific Northwest of this country.

thanks to the efforts of Democratic Congresswoman Marie Glucentcamp Perez. Obviously, listeners, I think you know what our feelings are about this before we start. But I did watch basically just like some C-SPAN footage of Marie-Glusen-Camp Perez testify or, you know, questioning the marine biologists in the state of Washington about sea lion infiltration, basically illegal sea lion immigration into the rivers of the Pacific Northwest. And her solution for this is basically giving people

a license to kill. A license to kill sea lions. And I'm just going to read here. It says, Washington Representative Marie Glucent-Camp Perez wants to explore more lethal removal options for sea lions. She joined the House Committee

on Natural Resources hearing on Wednesday, where she questioned experts about strategies to remove the tens of thousands of sea lions she said have invaded the Columbia River. As the name implies, sea lions are a species that belong in the sea, she told the committee, not in our rivers. So once again, we see here, we see like the sort of the Trump-like creep into the Democratic Party as they turn his own rhetoric about the illegal immigrant invasion on our wonderful pinnipeds.

Again, like the first time this came up, I had a lot of people going, well, you know, look, I don't like Mary Glucent-Crant-Perez or her. 138-year-old parents who are both 89 years old when they can see of her. I don't like her at all. But these sea lions, all these pitipeds, they make it really hard

for me to get all my salmon. And it's like, how much salmon are you eating, you nasty bitch? Every meal a day? What's going on over there? And I think we should make this the image for this week's episode.

But my favorite thing is that in the State Committee on Natural Resources hearing that she was opining about the need to kill pinnipeds at. She had an aide standing behind her with one of, you know how like congressmen, when they're like they, you know, it's something being spoken about on the floor of Congress. And they bring up like, you know, like some big, like blown up image of something and they put it on like an easel next to them so they can point to it.

In this subcommittee meeting, she had an aid standing behind her with a giant like sort of poster board of an image comparing the size. of a stellar sea lion to that of a Toyota Corolla. And she was like, just for scale reference here, one of these stellar sea lions can weigh almost as much as a Toyota Corolla and be almost as large.

They are a threat. And then even just to peacefully remove even one of them cost the taxpayer is $38,000. Think how much Sam in a Toyota Corolla is. And, you know, Felix, what's a group?

You know, I think I've mentioned this on this show before. Who is a group that I hate That I can't stand whenever I hear about them Or their complaints or their problems in the news It's ironically the thing you're not According to a certain account No I'm referring

Religious ethnicity group I'm referring to farmers I'm referring to farmers Right We hate farmer That's the account I was talking about I'm like many other accounts I've never been accused of being or not being a farmer

No, I hate farmers, right? I hate everything about them. I think, if anything, we give them way too much respect as a society. And you know what? A subcategory of farmer is, fishers, fishermen. Fishermen are just farmers of the sea. And they don't like any competition. They don't like that there are other animals that are better at eating salmon and catching them.

Okay, but what if there is like another side of this where there are certain kinds of farmers that are working with the sea lions scoop up all of the natural salmon so people got to turn towards factory farming salmon and then they can sell those salmon and it's a conspiracy you know and you know the seals run the banks oh this is this is goliath season five where billy deposes the sea lions listen if you've been following if you've been following you know nerpas spotted seals sea lions all of these for years you'll notice that they've become more vocal. They sound more and more like humans every day.

They're getting smarter. They are basically the Chinese of the sea, and they're taking over. People are scared of the orcas attacking all the human boats. But the real threat are, because they don't need the water. They can live on the land with us. The orcas, they're like the huthies of the sort of cetacean world.

And the sea lions, the pinnipeds, they're the Chinese because they can come into the country. They can go to our universities. We're giving them H1. visas to They're letting them go to fucking med school now Yeah

What By the way When was the last time That you called Tech Support About a problem With Windows And you didn't get

A Weddle seal Or a Nerpa Going What up My My name is John It's like Okay

Sure John Um You know Andrew You're one of Your name was Fucking Nico Yeah

Like, Andrew, I'm glad you brought him up. You were one of the first people to point this out. Nico was roommates in college with one Taylor Sheridan. Yeah. You know, if we're speaking of people who exploit natural resources, does Taylor Sheridan not remind you of one Wade Blackwood or a Noah Cross? I mean, to be fair, Nico has said that, like, Sheridan's stuff is, you know, it's middling at best,

which, you know, I agree with. He's right about that. And this lovely little habitat in Japan. He said, you know, I thought hell or high water was pretty good. I'm not so sure about Yellowstone or oil man. He just went, they asked Katsunori about Yellowstone. And he actually, he made a really interesting point.

He said the racial politics are really simplified. but that was like a great great point you won't hear Ellen Seppinwall say that I love the idea of like just a seal in New York City wearing a tie with a briefcase defending like Eric Adams I like your I like your comment that as the name implies

sea lions are a species that belong in the sea well which part of the name you know because I mean because it sounds like they should be on the African Velt instead of the Columbia River. But you know what? Like, sure, a river is not technically the sea, but it flows into the sea. And we're like,

you know, we're saying, oh, that you can't cross this invisible boundary, sea lion. You have to stay away from our steelhead trout and salmon. I denounce sea lions are saying from the river to the sea. But, you know, I think, yeah, like the stellar sea lions, they can be, they're enormous.

They can get to be, like, Speaking of Goliath, they can be huge and they can cause damage to a Toyota Camry or even an adult human being. But I really think that this is an opportunity here for the Pacific Northwest to become more like those towns in, like, New Zealand, where there's just one local elephant seal that bullies everyone. And they're like, well, that's just Neil. Got to live and be. I mean, to be fair, like, in those cases, like, I saw a great video from New Zealand where there was a, a New Zealand fur seal who went into a pub

and just went into the bathroom and he really paying customers only dude he was trying to do Coke all right what else he's supposed to do it well he was really polite he offered to buy something first but um you know fur seals

or um their true or earless seal cousins um you know they could go into a town and be like a friendly nuisance which I that's how Ed Kemper described himself at one point I don't know why I used that face I should use a different one

A friendly nuisance I was just interested what they were studying Well they do roam around Some of them roam around like bears There's like that one of like I think it's a walrus or a sea line I think it's a warrants

But this person is just filming like this like canal then they turn and this this like walrus emerges on this hut and he goes ugh he just dives into the water

like the sheer power so you don't want to mess with them yeah but but like but like you know I love sea lions but they are like they are like

kind of assholes yeah they are I still adore them and it's like I give them precedence in this case like they live in the water

you asshole like come on but like they are like if a if a um Um, other pinnipeds, uh, going to your town, you know, it's like a cute little story. Sea lions are like, um, that, that's what like, uh, Breitbart thinks Turkish people in Germany conduct themselves like, sea lions actually behave on land.

Uh, just a little, a little more details from the story here. It says, the sea lion population exploded from less than 75,000 in the 1970s to about 257,000 today. Megan Dugan, a spokesperson for ODFW, said that it's a tough estimate just how many, it's tough to estimate just how many sea lions are in the lower Columbia River since they migrate in and out. But the number are spotted in places like the Bonneville Dam and Willamette Flats have increased sharply since the early 2000s.

Wildlife of Vistles tried everything from installing barriers to underwater fireworks and firing buckshot at the animals, but nothing worked. They even tried to relocate the sea lions more than 200 miles away, but they always found their way back. Something called migration. That's like what animals do.

But now I think we should try shooting them with a Gatlin gun from a helicopter. It's the only way to stop them and the only way to protect our salmon. And it's just like, you know, once again, I think pinnipeds, I think they get first dibs on the salmon in the rivers, from the river to the sea. I think the pinnipeds should be given some sort of respect and deference over our wretched farmers and fishermen who by the way

can't even get salmon or grow crops without massive subsidies from Uncle Sucker. So, you know, no sea lion is coming to me with their handout or pitching about tariffs that they voted for.

Their competitors need machinery, vehicles, um, trawler systems to catch salmon. And the sea lions are doing it with their mouths. Who is more naturally suited for this? I think what they need to do is they need to cut a deal with the pinnipeds.

Absolutely. I think we can do a deal. But once again, Marie Gluey, Marie Blu-Factory Perez, you are my, you are my bozo of the week. I just imagine, like, for your murderous intent against our beautiful sea lions. Trump is, like, meeting with them like there with Zoron in the White House for he meets like some sea line in my group. It was just like, he was made a lot of good points. He's actually getting a lot. You're very sensible young man?

He's a big guy. Big, big lion. And he knows somebody to say, I'm like a lion. He's doing that side to side thing. It's just slamming its giant body into the resolute desk. Look, he's very excited about what we got planned. You're just seeing snippets on CNN. Trump's in their gritting.

It's just like, bow, bow, bow, bow. Do you think when Mary Glutenkamp Perez Like when she gets home To her district She like She goes through a ritual Where she like takes off like her business suit And puts on a hoodie with pre-chewed strings

Her husband's like I've been chewing the strings for you all We're ready for you I got you fries Because I know that's all you can eat She is the first last level one girlfriend representative she just yeah she's just one hb all the time she is her husband's life has been an escort mission

she is barely conscious like that um who virginia fox that one who's just like peeing on her floor she had the more more conscious than level one girlfriend mary because get Perez uh she she gets back to gets back to home puts on a hoodie but the hood is just like a baby seal head. She puts that over herself and starts chewing on what used to be, yeah, like the sinews of its intestines, which are now for the purposes of this story,

the strings in the baby seal head hoodie that I'm imagining her wearing. But, yeah, cheers to Marie Glucamp Prevores for this horrible. So they want to bring like legal clubbing to this, which is great. It's like how they've been trying to

reintroduce gray wolves to Colorado and all the fucking cattle ranchers. Farmers are like, we want to be able to hunt them. It's like that one wolf is worth more than your fucking life and all your cattle. I just like, I hate farmers so fucking love. Thank you. Thank you.

We can finally slaughter this. The best. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, guess what, asshole? Nuts exist. The only, the only movie to get it. I don't know if people saw, but I'm, I've, I've conquered obesity once again, like the ninth time

in my life. I'm, I'm doing the christian bell uh point seven five of a meal a day thing for the next five years i'm playing my next obesity streak in 2040 but until then i don't need any of the fucking bullshit you assholes growing your stupid farms you're going to be doing you will be getting big for your method acting as your role as randy fine in the up in 10 years yeah i'm going to be playing Randy Fine in Terrence Malick's last film in 2040. But, oh, we were talking about

Farmers. The only movie to get it right was the wrong guy with Dave Foley, where just a small town bank owner is trying to get ran out of town so the farmers can replace this bank with the farm. All the Big Honey Parbers. It's like what's the greatest bits, but also it's true. No, but I, Andrew,

like out west, like all those cattle ranchers, all they want to do is just be able to like, if there's a wolf anywhere, they want to kill it. Just based on the off chance that it'll like it'll steal one of their cattle from one of their thousands of cattle yeah one of there are thousands and thousands of cattle like just one of them gets their property gets transgressed upon by these noble creatures and they have to kill all of them uh they're scum and i'm sick of uh having my taxes subs i mean out here in colorado and the west they just you know basically genocide at buffalo so there was like 27 left and all the existing

buffalo are from those it's like well you know you know who brought the buffalo back to America? You know who brought the buffalo back to a non-endangered species? That's right. The Bronx Zoo. New York City, once again, real America, everywhere else in this country are for dogs, is for dogs, and Loonies. Only New York represents what America truly is. No, I won't... Not Clooney Camp Perez and her seal murder. Yeah. Oh, and one more thing. I did not use Ozympic.

I bought I bought a bottle I fucking could if I wanted to well I could have you have a little red box on your wall break glass of too fat I mean I was at that point but I bought it and then I like I read something about how like if you

if you've had pancreatitis it can like it can be bad and I got scared and so just like I left that and some of the needles they gave me on my door I mean I would just talk to a doctor because people that primarily take a Zempick our diabetic who have pretty shit pancreas. Well, I mean, it's immaterial now.

It's all about the, just get your blood. It's immaterial now. I don't need it anymore. And again, I get, you know, I left it on my door. I looked at my door. Felix will be posting in 2026 on the chapel of Patreon, his cum gutters. Just wait and see they'll be there. It will be for subscribers only in 4K.

I think if you go to my most recent story, you could see them kind of poking through the P2 shirt. I give it another like four like four weeks. I would tap you up right now but could. That's so dope. Before they return to like their sheet rock like state.

But anyway, you know, the people in my building, they made better you said of that Ozymbic than me. I haven't seen a single fat child. Take one. Like it's Halloween.

When was that big shot? No, that's what I did. That's what I did. In case anyone's thinking of suing me, only 40% of the people that took them were children. Fucking terrified.

They're going to give that to the Rizzer, man. Oh, man. They're stealing our chubby boys from us. Well, the next story I want to get to in our sort of grab bag of topics for today is Andrew Felix. I'm wondering did you guys get a chance to see any of Palantir CEO Alex Carp's

appearance at the New York Times Deal Book Summit over the past weekend? Most charismatic man on the earth. Oh, yeah. I really, I love this guy. he's one of my favorite guys he doesn't ignite my fight or flight at all i mean with that guy you just like fight it's just like i can you know i'm not going to say anything because i don't want to get anyone sued but it's just like he wouldn't be able to take on anything he is not a predator of anything on earth except i guess maybe women he works with i don't know but yeah allegedly when they were like when he was like doing his character sheet before he was born they were like

okay, what class are you? And he said, I'm inventing a new one, rapist. Well, speaking of fighting him, my sister, my sister's been obsessed with him. She said that she wishes

that she didn't waste all that time on Elon Musk and all these people who are just, you know, they're obviously like losers and annoying. But Alex Carp has like a special anti-charisma and actually anti-athleticism that is

unlike anything I've ever seen. And she found this video where he's he's playing with a sword and it's not even a katana. You have to be such an asshole to have $18 billion and you don't buy a katana and instead buy a weird Chinese falter on it. He's by a private

like fuck you pal like okay buddy. You don't even get like a cool broad sword even like if you're going to go European? No it's one of those like it looks like a cemeter or something. Yeah he looks like such an asshole. It's like it should come with a Halloween costume. What's so cool about him about Alex Carp is like

how do you look so much like Taika Waititi in somehow more annoying than him. Yeah. Okay. Alex was riffing on a level that was freaking sublime at the New York Times Deal Book Summit this weekend. He was also moving

in a way that was very interesting. As a human being, I just find the way he moves to be quite his handlers at the Palantir were like, this is why we can't give him Red 40. This is how he gets. He gets the Zoomies. he was like Travis the chimp

when they gave him Zana. He was like, let me grab your wrist. He was, my boy was zooming. He looked like a geeked up Muppet up there. But Chris, I just put a link in the chat. Can we just play that clip real quick? And this clip, well, this is Alex Karp and some sort of, I don't know,

like some European TV documentary puff piece on him in Palantir. And he's showing the journalist around Palantir's office. All right, let's listen to his comments here. And so I have, a lot of a deep understanding and I'll get to this and deep appreciation for the German culture. I think one of the craziest things is you have this whole thing online where people like laud the Nazis.

Like I spent a lot of time talking to Nazis, like real Nazis and like understanding what made them tick and what made them, I mean, part of the crazy thing about people allowed the Nazis nowadays is there's not a single Nazi that would ever have included them in their movement and would have shipped them off to the camps. quicker maybe than they shipped me off to the camps but um and uh and it's like it's uh but thing that is crazy unique about it America okay so this is people paying attention who want a media career or planning on having conversations with others in the future this is the perfect amount to laugh at your own jokes if you went if you went to if you went to a restaurant and you saw this chef wasn't eating any of his food how likely are you to

He said more than a hockey player In like a post game interview You know we got a lot of good guys Out there We're just scoing out there Got some good shots Whenever they have a Dagestani fighter Who's like English is his 27th language

Those guys are just infinitely more articulate They talk better than the Alex Warn infinitely better I love like the gist of this argument though where it's like, I actually know Herman Gehring. You know, like, Felix. And he said I would have made it to like 1943, at least. Yeah, it's when he says, when he says, like, one of the, uh, one of the, uh,

one of the, uh, crazy things about people who loud the Nazis is, uh, I spent a lot of my time talking to real Nazis. And I was just like, what do you mean by real Nazis? Some like ancient guy who's like in the Third Reich? Like, what the fuck? Do, does Palantir have like the brains of like, uh, class A war criminals just like frozen in a vat? And you're like, we're building an AI.

off what, yeah, of what Herman Garing might think about the people who work for us and whether they should go to the camps or not. He just talked to like, wait, wait, you're a CEO of this huge, like, I don't know, what is ostensibly a tech company, but is really, I don't know, just like a massive, you know, like defense contractor. And like, why is it, why, like, why do you spend so much of your day talking to, quote, unquote, actual Nazis? Well, there was like, I don't make this much content in a week. And that's my job. Like, fucking Christ. Well, how much, how do you have time to, you know, put Mangala's soul into Usha Vance's body? Which I presume you've done.

If he was talking to real Nazis, they're only just saying shit like, they used to let us put more salt on the oatmeal. And he's got like oxygen in. Yeah. He's talking to a 178 year old who's like, and you say you know where Santa Claus lives. but um i i i spring that up you've met this hagar the horrible we spent our entire lives trying to beat him um i bring this up because of like i said his shall we say very animated and a novel moving and speaking style

that was uh sort of given uh quite a public airing as part of like you know the the palanterer's sort of front facing i don't know public diplomacy efforts, but this has led to an interesting new initiative at Palantir that I want to talk about. It says, this is from Business Insider. Palantir launches a neurodivergent fellowship after video of its CEO is unable to sit still goes viral. And it says here, Palantir is launching a fellowship for neurodivergent individuals after a video of its CEO struggling to sit still went viral. In an ex post on Sunday night, the software company said, it's encouraging applications from those who relate to CEO Alex Carp in being unable to sit

still or thinking faster than you can speak. The neuroly divergent like myself will disproportionately shape America's future, Karp said in a statement posted on X by Palantir. In the job description, Palantir said the neurodiversion fellowship is a recruitment pathway for exceptional

neurodiversion talent. This is not a diversity initiative. The job description states, referencing a hot button Tomic. Yeah. I, I, you know, my dad had a great, he had a great phrase for when someone was being annoying and we he would go oh spare me yeah and you know that i had not thought about that in like

15 years and it just it echoed through my mind when i read this that video and like this whole thing that they're doing now do you remember like i remember like growing up and being at the mall with my family and seeing another family and one of their kids was like on a leash i'm like man that's fucked up there are kids that you need that's what he needs so what he needs like this job is just someone is his handler that's like they're like spray like lemon juice in his eyes when he gets acting up. He, just like how Mary Glus and Ken Perez is like the most

accomplished. You know, she's like the Shirley Crisholm of level one girlfriends. Alex Carp is sort of the Jackie Robinson of Leash Kids. He can't have Red 40. He can't have sugar. He's not a lot to have soda or candy. And you're like,

they're like, that's not real. They're red 40, she's bullshit. And then you see the kid actually eat some. You're like, oh, his mom wasn't full of, she was right. This kid can't have It really affects him. He's vibrating. Super tonic. That's like 5 a.m.

and you're out to sleep. I'm like, just go the fuck to sleep, dude. It's not fun anymore. He's like levitating on his side, staring at you, eyes at the size of dinner plates. It looks like he's on 400 milligrams of MDMA,

even though you're both seven. Hey, um, if you have any friends from growing up who literally only ate Kraft macaroni and she is, Ask them to apply for his job at Pellantir Because they'll be crafting the future Do you have a friend who

They headbutted a wall 58 times because they changed the voice actor For Gambit on the animated X-en show Oh, I'm on me Have you considered putting that guy in charge Of everyone's information Your past and their future and free crime Alex Karp was that kid

There was always a kid at like the 4th of July barbecue or, you know, the cookout that was always, always wet for some reason? That was him. How the fuck did he get wet? We don't even have water balloons. It's like, fucking, January at altitude. He's totally indoors. You're soaking.

Why is your sun wet? There's steam coming off of him. His shoes are squishing. here is i want to read the full statement this is this is what was posted to twitter from this is a message from dr carp and now keep in mind that like this whole thing is just like basically a hastily cobbled together reaction to like him as a like front facing figure of this corporation uh basically seeming like he was coked to the or just on a cocktail of insane uppers down literally bouncing up and down in his chair as he accused everyone in

the business press and Silicon Valley of being opposing him, you know, like, uh, he says here, the neurali divergent like myself will disproportionately shape America's future. We see past performative ideologies and perceive beauty. Sorry, someone say they already have, starting with Columbine. We see past performative ideologies and perceive beauty in the world that still exists, which technology and art can expose. The current LLA, tech landscape is biased in our favor. Is this why the cultural elite preferred to drug us to

tether these rare abilities to the albatross of dysfunctional ideologies? It's like, wait a second. I hate it when elite drug the nerily divergent. They should be drugging themselves before making any public appearance. But we can see through dysfunctional ideologies and perceive

beauty as it actually exists and expose it with technology. It says, Palantir will bring your talents to bear on the West's most urgent problems. Like the West's most urgent problems include the variation in texture and sandwiches and popular food items

and loud unexpected noises. I love the adoption. The adoption of Sodic's arms. The adoption of Tumblr speak and therapy speak to like be like I can be annoying and an asshole. There's nothing you can do about it. Yep. Oh my God. It's everyone like J.D. does

this so much. He's like, you're othering Usher. By the way, shut the fuck up, you little asshole. By the way, speaking of Usher and J.D. Vance, this is a news blast from Fox News. This is just the headline here. Ringing endorsement. Vice President J.D. Vance asserts marriage to wife, Usha, is as strong as it's ever been. That's all I need to hear.

That's a fucking relief, dude. Thank God. I told her that we were on the, I talked on the phone for like four hours. And I kept telling her that she didn't believe me. But I was like, trust me, J.D. solid. Osher, you're the only one for me. You saved me with a fork incident. That's why I'm not.

Hillbilly elegy. I love how him and Erica Kirk look like they're like paternal twins. Yeah. Oh, it makes it kind of hot. Oh, so, JD, JD, you and Erica, you ever do it in the ass? Why don't you show us your ass, JD? Why should you take it out? Come on.

Oh, you're the best. J.D. You're the boss. It should be you. Stop saying that. But back to Alex Karp and the neuroly, the neuroly divergent vanguard, which will shape the future. I have to say, this is an ambitious project that I'm excited to see where it goes. However, I do believe that this is at cross purposes with another major aspect of the Trump administration and MAGA policy, which is that of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I know we enjoy talking about him the last time you were with us, Andrew, but this is just from the New York Times. A federal vaccine committee took a major step toward Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s goal of remaking the childhood

vaccine schedule on Friday, voting to end a decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B, a highly infectious virus that can cause severe liver damage. The devices and dysfunction of the committee making the decision, however, raised questions about the liability of the advisory process and left at least one critic very concerned about the future of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So basically,

you know, HHS is laying the ground work to get rid of most childhood vaccinations or stagger the schedule. I mean, like, they would say they're working to stagger the schedule, but it's very clear that the people advising RFK Jr. on this, the goal is to do away with childhood vaccinations. So

if we do away with childhood vaccinations, who will be the neurodural Diversion Warriors to run and found the Palantiers of the future and speak at NY Times deal book conferences. That's a pretty good question. I mean, I think it's going to go back to who it was before vaccines, which, as you know, I myself, I am, I consider myself adjacent to a doctor through a family relation.

Before vaccines, the neurology divergent were kids who were made too warm or too cold in birth. There by expanding or contracting their brains. in ways that were often advantageous. Einstein is one of such cases. His mom was known for having an abnormally cold vagina. And this made his brain much more efficient. But, you know, I mean, this is a vaccine panel appointed by RFK Jr. votes to roll back newborn hepatitis v. vaccine recommendation upending years of CDC

guidance and public health consensus. And look, whether this will make the Palantirers of the future more or less likely, I just think like, Felix, I was thinking about this in light of that woman you posted the other day that said that dinosaurs were killed off by pharmaceutical companies because their blood cures all diseases. Well, it was dragons. Oh, dragons. He said dinosaurs didn't exist.

There were dragons, and dragons blood cured every disease. Sorry, here it says, this is Aaron Siri, a lawyer who for years joined with me. Mr. Kennedy in court battles over vaccines talked at length later in the day about the evolution of the childhood schedule. Mr. Siri has petitioned the government to stop distributions of 13 vaccines including the polio vaccine. So yeah, it's pretty clear what we're doing there. But I was thinking about that, yeah, and led of the woman who thinks that, does she think that dinosaurs are fake or that what's described as dinosaurs by paleontologists are in fact dragons that were killed off by pharmaceutical companies around what era did this take place? Well, I actually, I match with

her on Raya so this weekend I don't know right now but I will but I don't know like I we've talked about this before on the show but it's just like whether it's I don't know what AI is doing just the general decline in literacy among the general population that we are moving into like a kind of like the the peasant era we're like I'm talking about like middle class educated people who have like I've adopted like folklorish beliefs that, like, I don't know, the Romani people of medieval Europe, I would imagine, would be more akin to. But, like, this idea that, like, all expertise are all, like, the sort of, the vast,

sort of, I don't know, compendium of what is considered public knowledge or public health is now completely and totally, like, discredited or considered completely up for grabs by everyone. And I think that's cool and good. Neurodivergent in the future is going to mean, like, you know, you know, you know, know what an exponent is and you don't just say oh the main number has a friend you know you like you can do arithmetic yeah oh he did the number had a daughter but i i i really do like the idea that uh drag dragons were killed by pharmaceutical companies because their blood cures all diseases well i mean is this not like a materialist

explanation i think it's this is a case of like true until true until proven fall we just to bring back dragons like they did with those fake dire wolves that are actually just gray wolves of their DNA alter. I mean, it goes back to, like with RFK Jr., all this stuff goes back to just, it's just eugenics, and it's just

because the people with money and everything, they're going to be getting their shit vaccinated. They're going to be getting their shit vaccinated. They're going to have the best of the best. Everyone else, you make them stupid and unhealthy and weak and let them die off. I saw Stephen McKee Miller talking about this, and she was like, this is what we voted for.

And it's like, yep, everyone believes that you and your fucking anemic husband who jammed your triple great-grandparents genetics together and created three of the most allergic killer of all time, that you are not, you are not subjecting them to a needle party when they're all a month old. Everyone believes that. Come on, lady. It reminds me, this was like a couple years ago when someone asked Tucker Carlson, if he and his family, got the vaccine and he got really indignant and was like oh why don't you ask me about the last time i had sex with my wife if we were ever getting so personal i mean it's just like well okay i'd also like you know of course yeah of course it's also like talk talk talker you didn't go on tv and go you will die if you fuck my wife not because not because of what i do but there's

something really wrong with her pussy we talked to a bunch of kids that fucked her and they all died it's like the ring perfectly healthy athletic kids This high school varsity team fucked my wife and then died in a plane crash a week later It's right

It's like okay If you had You know lived your beliefs That's a pretty fucking easy easy question to answer You know Yeah I say absolutely not

I would never consent To poisoning my body Or that of my families But if you absolutely did get the vaccine Because Tucker Carlson He's a rich Preppy kid he's not he's like he's not a jug hooter like the rest of these fucking dopes you know you know those parties you know those parties I go to where me and a bunch of guys we just take medicine and get vaccines I've seen Tucker there no shots refused no no no viral no medicine refused Tucker Carlson was at my vaccine party wearing the biggest Yamaka I've ever seen

I like how there's these people that say all this stuff and then like now I just saw this week that people were getting like Simon Cowell talked about it and Bryce Harper's posted about it were yeah like the

they get the it's plasma phoresis is what they're like getting it's not dialysis but it's kind of similar but it's not dialysis. Is it like blood do? What they'll do is a lot of the time is they'll exchange like plasma and they'll replace with albumin

which is like a legitimate thing but it's usually for very sick people. These are people that are just doing it because they're rich. And I think Bryce Harper is a bit of a chud, if I remember right. And I love how these chuds are like, I don't believe in fucking medicine and shit.

And then they take, they do get real, real procedures done, but like by cranks that are like, I'll fucking do it if you pay me enough. Andrew, like this is my point about the like the peasant mindset. And it's just like obviously like much of, I don't know,

expert or elite opinion about a lot of things has been discredited or shown to be compromised in some way. But it's like, I see this in like sort of, I don't know, independent media all the time, be it left wing or right wing, where you take what should be a healthy skepticism of quote unquote, the mainstream press or mainstream journalism. But then you translate that into complete and utter credulity for any source of information that just brands itself as like the outsider news. We're like a rebel journalism. It's like, no, you've just traded one, you know, like a dopey foolish credulity

for another. And it's exactly the thing with like, oh, I'd never believe anything doctors tell me unless that doctor appears to me on a social media feed. And it's like telling me to like, I don't know, eat cow testicles or something like that. I mean, the liver king is like for years, I'm not in steroids. It's like, I'm sorry, I'm on steroids.

Like, no fucking shit, dude, look at you. But all these guys that were into fitness, like, fuck, I thought he was natural. I've been eating these raw liver. Oh man You know, I do admire Liver King Because at least like After he got caught he didn't

Like he did briefly try to do a thing where he's like Okay now I'm really doing the ancestral penance And then he had a psychotic break That is what I admire That he was like okay Clearly isn't working Message received I'm going to go to Austin

And threaten to hold down Joe Rogan and blow him Arrested by every agency And Interpol Like You know, I respect an entertainer who throws themselves into the act as he did. He had like one eye that was much more dilated than the other. It's like, wow, this is kind of cool. Like, it would be cool if like Joe Rogan like accepted his threats and was like,

all right, come fucking face me in the parking lot, dog. Come fucking fight me, dog. Like the classic bong fight of yesterday you are on YouTube. Don't spit. It's pussy. You're honestly the softest bitch I've ever seen. who what public figures Andrew do you think are most capable

of reenacting the pond fight oh no need for a rock yeah I think I think it's unfortunate that Charlie Kirk we're the ones who carry the flame that he was taken from us because I could see him and JD

doing the top the pond fight they have sort of like a similar build I think it would be I think it would be like Stephen Crowder and Tilo Oliviera And Tyler is like, no need for the rock. Tyler is the no need for the rock guy, 100%.

Well, actually, here's a candidate. And this segues nicely into the next story I want to talk about, which is Milo Yanopoulos is back. And he went on Tim Poole's show. And Tim Poole asked him about Charlie Kirk. Do you think there's a possibility they faked his death? Milo says yes. Milo claims it's possible that Charlie Kirk is still alive

and that Erica Kirk is sinister, alleging she's an alleged. She's, unless she's involved in a plot with TPUSA to fake his death. He's such a genius. I love it. I love it. Charlie's alive, but he just hasn't been able to, like, get to a phone for, like, two months. Well, I mean, how does that work?

Well, he's in on it, too. I don't know. I mean, like, for someone to fake, I don't know, because he said, what is protection? Because he was sick of Erica. She's sinister. You see all that fucking fake hair she has? Yeah. Oh, I mean, no.

Charlie Kirk, I mean, if TPSA faked Charlie Kirk's death, all I got to say is hats off, because what has Matt always promoted on this show? We need to bring back squibs. And man, oh man, that was some good work that they did on that one there. It looked good. Yeah, it looked really good. It looked really good. It looked like a Sam Pekinpaw movie.

Speaking of Milo and Charlie Kirk, everything, and this goes back to like dinosaurs aren't real, dragons are. Have you seen Candice Owens' new thing? in addition to claiming that Emmanuel Macron was behind Charlie Kirk's assassination, convenient. You know, the same guy that's been, you know, gang-stalking and victimizing her over, you know, trying to cover up the fact that his wife is trans. But Candice's new thing is that all space is fake, too. Like space exploration, the moon, space, NASA, all of it's not real.

She's just throwing it all out there now. She's saying Fuentes is an FBI informant or something now. she turned on him she just fucking like everyone she wants to smoke from everybody I mean I her like only friend died I know

that was like the only person she actually liked and the other guy back to the other guy who wants all the smoke is Milo is Milo's back and like Milo's new thing

is coming out he's coming out the gate swinging and his new thing is basically saying the entire conservative movement in Washington DC is run top to bottom by

just sort of like D.L. gay guys who are vicious queens who care only about power and have a hatred of humanity. But he also says, but not me. But not me though. I'm not gay. He also says no one is gay. He says no one is gay. And he does the Wo Vicky thing. He says no one's actually gay. They just got touched on when they were a kid. And it's a trauma response. Well, one of the people that he's claiming is part of this network of gay guys. Once again, like as Milo, Washington, D.C. and the conservative movement run by sort of D.L. low guys who are vicious power hungry nihilists who don't believe in anything but not me once again i need to clarify this not me myelianopolis i am not gay and never have been i'm recovering i don't

even know what his line is now i'm motivated by more than spite yeah yeah i'm brimming with a wholesome love for humanity and a sincere desire to do his whole thing and help people he's helping he's being a patriot even though he's uh you know british for america by investigating and going to in a deep cover in the DC GOP by just going and getting cracked by all these guys and say, nope, yep, they're gay. Trust me, they all fucked me. I fucked them.

Well, one of the people who's getting caught up in this is an old friend to the show, Benny Johnson. Okay, Milo, you've said some pretty ridiculous things in your life, but this is too far. This is... Even we have a limit, Milo. You know, back, you know, gas source or back it up, pal.

I mean, this could be, look, Felix, you can say it's far-fetched, right? But, like, stranger things have happened. If this story is confirmed, if this story is confirmed, that it indeed is revealed that Benny Johnson is, in fact, gay. There's no way. This could shake the foundations of all American politics and really reality itself. I think that's the end of the West, if that comes out. If I were to, like, you know, there's a lot of things you can criticize for Benny Johnson for,

but I think the one thing that people should stop hating him on is that he loves pussy too much. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. He's, you know,

like Christopher Maltesante said to Tony Soprano, everyone knows you've been the biggest fucking coosound. I'm a hog for it. What can I say? Yeah, Benny, you know,

this salacious unfounded rumor that Milo is peddling yeah, okay, it would be one thing if like say an ex-BuzzFeed employee whose name was Saeed-Jones and is actually a pretty prominent media figure

himself who does not have a history of making these things up stated that he made out with Benny at a BuzzFeed Christmas party it would be one thing if there were multiple claims like this, stories that everyone who is within even

like 20,000 miles of conservative media has heard dozens of stories. But that's just not the case. You know, that's just not the world we live in. Well, this is from Yahoo News here. It says, conservative commentator Benny Johnson appears to be gearing up to sue Milo Yanopoulos after the British provocateur

claimed Johnson's family man image is bogus. And then in an open secret, he has slept with boys at political conferences. I am duty bound to take action to protect my family against those who maliciously defame and attack us. More to come on that soon, Johnson posted on X Sunday. The potential lawsuit comes two days after Yanopoulos accused Johnson of being a not-so-stelf gay man on Tim Poole's podcast.

Quote, Benny Johnson posts pictures of his children every two days. It's weird. And everybody knows what went on with Benny Johnson in those lobbies and in those hotel rooms at S-A. Unopolis said, referring to Turning Point USA's annual student action summit. Everybody knows. His guest on the episode recently fired ex-congressman George Santos said he did not know what he was talking about. quote men younger men not underage at least i don't know that his wife was crying drunk in the lobby three asses in a row about how her husband was upstairs with boys come on santo said go ask her

yonopolis yelled milo are you ever scared of getting sued santo's marveled yonopolis said he is not worried about it because he is right and always has his facts straight okay but all of those sases those guys are known to bring xboxes and have a halo land that's all they were doing yeah yeah They were having... Benny was doing that because otherwise he would be, he'd be on tender

getting some more tuna. Yeah. Talk about someone who's eating all the fucking salmon in the northwest and northeast. Mary Glucon, Camp Perez should do a presentation

about Benny. Do you remember... Okay, I haven't mentioned this on like that, but you remember Benny Johnson's Wes Anderson-themed wedding announcement video? You are cordially invited

to Benjamin and Caitlin's wedding. They live in Washington, D.C. this is the intern housing where they met how could I forget it's one of the I mean I you know it's to me it's it's one of the great

like short films of all time it is so special to me it is so wonderful it's such a magical magical thing and what I love about it is that it's just also it's so clear how much he loves his wife you know

Will we're too we're two like plurality heterosexual men Andrew two we're all at least like 40% 30% the number one thing we've all done is plan our wedding

since we've known each other. Felix, I finish us about it every day. We, you know, the group chat goes crazy every weekend when like, you know,

like a new wedding collection is revealed. Like, what sort of plates are we going to have at the wedding? This reminds you of what Cory Booker

was running for president? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, there hasn't been a white house wedding in 200 years. We sent each other celebrity wedding photos

in our group chat and we say, she went with that neckline, really? yeah yeah well honey you don't have

the clavicles for that well speaking of uh speaking of uh being catty and being catty i i

i got to ask you about this my fellow movie mindset brother i do want to talk about the proposed uh netflix warner brothers merger and then the proposed paramount net warner brothers hostile takeover funded by

Saudi sovereign wealth funds. But before he gets to that, speaking of being a catty bitch, Andrew, I got to ask, what do you make of Quentin Tarantino's latest shooting spree, racking up victims like Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard as he slams them for their... Dude, why does he eat Matthew Lillard? I don't know. What did Matthew Lillard do? I don't know.

Be amazing in his one scene in the descendants, you asshole? I know, like, he just says, like, he said, Paul Dano is the, the weakest actor in the sad card, yeah. I got a shout out, I got to shout out our friend of the show, Nate Fisher, a writer and star of Ephes. His Tarantino posts always kill me. And he did a new one this weekend where it was just like, Tarantino talking about a movie. And it's like, the movie is good luck Chuck. And he's like, good luck Chuck. Good luck Chuck.

God, the Chuckster. That's a hell of a picture. Except for Jessica Alba. She's a dish rack. Sorry, one more of Nate Fisher's Tarantino quotes. This is Tarantino. Look, look, all right. I really, I really love the fly.

That is a gross fucking movie, man, okay? But, like, there are other Carnabug movies, like, you know, Scanners, the Brood, Dead, and then in parentheses, suddenly remembering he had jerked chicken for lunch, now talking like Sebastian the Crab. Dead ringers, big on the islands, man. I just, like, on one level, like, I think it's kind of funny that, like, so it's like, nobody, like, who engages in film criticism these days, like, ever slams anyone anymore, but, like, Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard catching strays this egregiously just seems to be, like, I don't know, because, like, I don't know, I guess I'm not like the biggest Paul Dano guy, but, like, he's, he's good, like, just for someone in Quentin's position.

fucking good actor. Like it's for someone in Clinton's position to like someone who's like such a celebrated and well respected director who everyone loves to just come out and just egregiously shit on an actor. It's just it's so mean. Like there is like everyone acting, everyone in Hollywood acting like he fucking killed Paul Dano is kind of funny. But also like I'm like glad that everyone is kind of being like, quit shut the fuck up, dude.

Like he's always been a problem. He's always been annoying. He's always been a fucking dumb ass. But, you know, and People are just sitting up with his shit. He just sitting there kicking his feet in, like, Tel Aviv. And it's just like, Quentin, please, for the love of God, shut the fuck up. Any criticism I level at Quentin Tarantino will just seem like cope because of his,

let's just say, current associations with a certain country. I'll leave it there. But, like, yes, he has always been, to quote, you know, Nate's moniker Bozo mode to a capital degree. But he does happen to be one of the most talented directors of his generation. I can forgive him for being a catty, messy bitch to Matthew Lillard and Paul Dando.

What I will not forgive Quentin Tarantino for is placing Black Hawk down as the number one best movie of the 21st century. Oh, go fuck yourself. Dude. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You should kill yourself. Especially with like all the current stuff about Somalis. Yes, I know. Yeah. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Fucking. He's one of those guys He's so annoying where like I like listen I know will you're a big QT fan myself I've always thought he was good but I don't really rewatch his stuff not like the biggest fan of some of his stuff whatever that's just my opinion but now with like everything it's just like man I don't even want to like watch anything you make like he's one of those guys like it's just like man I'm just over it like I've just I don't care anymore because he's so annoying. Well, I just think like... He's like, he was incredible, man. Like, that's the top 10 of the past century, like. Wait, waiting is the type of movie that people in 1920s would have fucking cream themselves

and they could see it. I posted... I posted... Dean Cook had his screen presence and a command presence. Unseeing since Orson Wells had a 32-inch waistline. People got really mad at me because I said he wasn't in the... top 30 best American directors

the people are like you can't even name 30 American directors I was like bitch like you know yeah you're bringing a knife to a gunfight friend and I had people going

oh Demi is not better than QTM like that bullshit not to me Demi's the man but it's like yeah it's just I mean it's all opinion it's all subjective but it is crazy

like Nancy Lillard SLC punk hackers Shacky Twin Peaks of Return scream yeah Descendants? Scooby-Doo, the descendants.

See, Matthew Ler just seems like one of those guys that's like, everyone likes him. Like, I've never heard someone like, you know, he's never going to be heralded as like, oh, he's like the next Pacino or something like that. But like, he's always a welcome presence. But the way it's the way character Tino talked about like him and like Dano is that they're like weird, nerdy guys. It's like you're the weirdest, weird and nerdy. Yeah. You're, he's seen himself. Yeah, no, exactly.

That's why he has to be like, you know. You've seen that cup of George Cleet talking about when, uh, uh, Tarantino was like, we could be like twins. Like, we could be brothers. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. George, he was like, what the fuck are you talking about? I mean, yeah, like, again, this reminds you the, uh, Swalwell Cash thing from last week. This is like the entire country now is like two kids who are both an anime club, but one kid is like,

you're like a, you're like a fucking anime club loser. Not like me. The vice chair of anime club. club? It's like how it reminds me of when I was a kid, not she wasn't always married to him, but he eventually died, but she was married to a

millionaire for a while. And my dad worked for a while after the Air Force. He once told my dad, who was much for religious, especially at the time than this guy. He told my dad, if we were in God's army, I'd be a general and you'd be a private. It's like, what are you talking? That's crazy,

rich guy, I think you say, but that's serious I mean, I think I've said things like that, but it's been in good fun. And you know what? Like, like, like, I'm leaving aside his work as a, as a director, right? As an actor, he's unbearable. He's unbearable as an actor. He's just saying a certain word. Pulsive.

Yeah, yeah. Word really well. You know, and it's just like, I think his, I think his level of being annoying and being bozo mode has like, like. almost put him on a level of like Polansky with me in terms of like how much I have to like turn look away from or just like

or just ignore to continue to love his movies I mean it's like at this point it's almost like Vincent Gallo is more likable 100% Buffalo 66 is a great movie Vincent Gallo at least like lets people buy his sperm if they're so inclined yeah

if you're looking for stocking stuffers. Tarantino would release his sperm like that would hang out on that Barton Schroleth Wait, Felix, I have to correct you Vincent Gallo will not let just anyone buy his sperm.

You have to be white. Okay, he made that very clear in the bitch. I apologize. Yeah, but he's not even white. It seems Gallo. It was a bit salty. That's all I have to say.

I was thinking about the Benny Johnson lawsuit. And again, you know. Well, it's definitely going forward. I'm sure he's definitely going to pull the trigger on that lawsuit and definitely sue Milo for saying, you know, and

literally putting it in a libel case about am I gay or not? That's the, that's the thing that's likely to happen. I can't think of anything he's less terrified of than Discovery. But I was thinking, you know, like Goliath season 8. And

Billy, Billy is Milo's lawyer. But then Cooperman, like now an AI, William Hurt is on any side. Because Cooperman McBride would obviously be with like the conservative movement I always

I always want but Cooperman is like doing his usual monologue if he's like a bottom feeder like McBride

can't just be left in the can't just be fucked in the ass and left a bleed out in an alley click click click

McBride has to be fucked in the ass every hour of every day until it becomes his standard of living

and he does not know a time when he was not fucked in the ass click click click and then Benny uh

goes, would it help if I pretended to be this McBride guy? Would you like me to for like a role play strategy thing? You know what? Speaking of libel cases. I just wanted to say really quick that I always wonder if your fans,

Chapa fans, hear Felix's current show he's watching and he makes up a season eight like I gotta watch this fucking show now. You're like mind of JSON with shows. By the way, to all our listeners, To follow Felix for the next couple weeks of this show, start watching the Billy Bob Thornton show, Goliath on Amazon now.

Fuck, I got to get on fucking Goliath, though. I really used to, like, pride myself that I watched, like, real movies and shows and read real books. And then just, like, you get through a certain, I just turned in my dad. I mean, you know, I just, I just love every, like, pulpy show where, like, a 72-year-old actor who I love, who fortunately has enough gambling debts where they have to be on an Amazon

on Prime Original. And I'm like, this is awesome. It's the greatest show ever made. I love Billy Bob. Billy Bob is one of my favorite actors ever. And I feel like a deep empathy for him. Ever since I saw him, when I was a kid,

when he went on David Letterman, and Letterman was like, hey, how about this Oscar-nominated movie? Monsters Ball that you're in that everyone's talking about. And is part of a huge Academy Awards campaign that the studio is putting together. And Billy Bob is like, can we talk?

about my incredibly shitty band instead and it's like i know exactly how he feel i know oh yeah dude billy bob i felt so bad for billy bob he sung billy bob sung backup vocals on warren zvon's last album i love i i felt so bad for him seeing uh angelina jolly ovulating wearing his blood around her neck like a fucking vampire yes i felt so bad for him that that is not that is not that is not Remember when he said we fucked in the car on the way over here? He did not, like, he did not think he was getting into that. Billy Bob Thornton, like, I've, you know, I've been in, in thousands of locker rooms in my day. I can tell just by his build, he has a 19-edge cock.

I mean, he's always had that confident swagger to him. Yeah. He looks awesome. It's that time of the year. Bad Santa, one of the greatest Christmas movies. Oh, I love that Santa. Jesus, are you fucking with me? I fucking love that movie.

Bad Santa is one of the. top 10 American comedies ever made. Easily. I saw that in the, saw that opening week with my sister in theaters. That would, what a fucking great movie. No, like, how could I fall on my head? John Ritter is great than that too. It's also one of those weird.

It's like Lauren Graham. What a great cat. It's one of those Cohen brother movies where it doesn't feel like a a Coen brother movie because it isn't really, but also is. But it's like, man, they really can work outside what they like to do and make stuff that's good. I just love the level.

human misery and degradation that bad santa like it gets to a depth that like very few american movies are like have to have the bravery to touch that's exactly it gives me that jesus it was proto jody hill stuff like proto eastbound proto uh yeah yeah exactly you know just depraved americanism or like what's that fucking movie red rocket oh yeah yeah yeah yeah like say shan bakerish too sorry just to get on my bed senate the last thing i was going about bed center my favorite part in Bad Santa is like after they do the first job in the beginning of the movie

and Billy Bob's like he spells out his dream which is did you take the money from the heist and open a bar in Florida and like you know just sort of hang out there and then it cuts to like nine months later and you see him behind this bar in Florida and he's like making drinks and everything looks cool and you're like oh his dream came true

and then you find out he's just stealing liquor from the bar when the bartender comes back and he's like you asshole what the fuck can I tell you about get bar in the bar Anyway, before I went, I interrupted, you're talking about rivalries, Will. Yeah. Like, great rivalries.

I'll forget what we were going into. Oh, I was talking about libel lawsuits. Oh, my God. Lauren Tom, who was in season two and three and four of Goliath, was also in bad Santa with Billy Bob. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's okay.

Branson loves to make fun of, he doesn't like he always just references people who watch burn notice I'm like I fucking love to burn notice what the last show shot on film shot on location practical effects you know Bruce Campbell what's her face the Irish chick is

the chick people for her show band glugora where the fucker can't do it was a lot like one of the last like classic kind of serial shows that was just on during the summer and it was a fucking blast Okay, yes, this is where I was going. I said I wanted to talk about the proposed Warner Brothers Netflix merger. Yes.

But now there's like a proposed paramount. The Ellison family, very politically connected to Donald Trump, is backed by Gulf sovereign wealth funds are proposing a hostile takeover of Warner Brothers. Now Warner Brothers is like, you know, Wacko, Yaco and Dot are caught in this kind of like tug of war between two titanically evil media. Do you want Big Z or do we want Ellison? Well, this is from a semaphore. this reporting says, finger pointing in Washington as Paramount goes hostile.

And it's talking about like how basically like paramount, it says Paramount executives met with Donald Trump in recent weeks to press their case and to argue against a Netflix victory according to a person with knowledge of the meeting. Federal Communications Chair Brennan Carr was among

those who attended the meeting, but when Trump asked him about his view on the deal, he demurred saying it would likely be decided by the antitrust division of the Justice Department. I mean, Trump had a public statement today where he said the Netflix Warner Brothers deal would be bad from an antitrust perspective because they'd be very big

and it's not so great for consumers. I mean, obviously he's doing this out of a principled stand against media conglomeration, I'm sure. But there is one detail in speaking of libel lawsuits in the semaphore reporting on this that certainly caught my eye.

It says here, both sides are scrambling to hire the right allies in Washington. One person familiar with the competition said both sides had approached former Trump campaign aide, Jason Miller, who is now an advising and on the paramount side of the deal. Now, when I saw this, look,

either side would be lucky to hire a gentleman of his character, of his stature, of his reputation. I just will say, I don't care who gets Warner Brothers at the end of the day, but if Jason Miller's involved, I know the deal will go smoothie, and no poison pills will be slipped into it to potentially kill this baby before the deal is done. So, best of luck to Warner Brothers on whoever decides to

loot their carcass and what is left of the entertainment business I mean at this point at this point I'm just like I'm pro Fox you know which Disney owns now right but like Tooby that's all I need now

you got Tooby and Canopy you're good we don't need Netflix we don't need HBO you just need those I guess like when the original deal was announced over the weekend there was a lot of like there was a lot of sort of a pal a poll cast over you know people who like movies or certainly

enjoy the theatrical going to the movie theater that this really signal is like the death of movies and i know this is something that like people have been broadcasting or sort of um speculating about for quite some time now but and i did want to get your perspective on this as a fellow a fellow movie brother like what do you like do you think that like they've been dying for years yeah it's like this is not new yeah do you see this as just sort of like the capstone on like the death of cinema in american culture or like movies as an art form or is that too pessimistic and then it'll just like I think it's I don't know it could be I think it's like definitely one of the nails in the coffin I don't know if it's the final nail see like I think it'll just change

because like I don't know assuming I live to like you know the average life expectancy of a man of you know my cohort and all that like I still expect people to be making and watching movies when I die but kind of similar I feel like I was thinking something you said a while ago about like literacy in America like books will still be around people will still be able to read, but like kind of similar, I think where where movies is going, is that it's just going to be kind of this like niche kind of, I don't know, habit trail

of the upper classes. Or just like, like a certain, like, it'll just be like, it'll be like what the opera is now, you know? Exactly. Yeah, it's just like, they've been like abandoned wear for years now, like video games where like the digitization of everything

kind of had been killing it for years. But then you also have times like, Things happen where, like, the pandemic happened. Then people are like, oh, it's so nice to go to the movies again. It's like, motherfucker, you weren't going, but I'm glad you're going. And I do think there are instances like Barbenheimer was a big event. People were excited to go to the movies. I think the avatars show that worldwide, people go to the movies.

So I don't know if it's like, if it's just going to be a problem here and be worse here, or if it's just going to, you know, perpetuate. and just for maybe because like there'll be movie the Warcraft movie like they're going to end like theatrical windows for first release movies right

like I think if the Netflix merger goes through I think that's what's likely to happen which will kill most movie theaters and like I don't know I think like there will always be people as long as I'm alive I'm confident that there will always be people making movies people who love movies

and that like movies will continue to be an art form I mean like there's nothing that guarantees any one particular form of art like lasts forever and indeed like most all of them don't that but like that being said like the thing that concerns me is that every single person who owns the entertainment business in america now or who is getting in a piece of it despises art of any kind like just like not only just doesn't like it but like doesn't understand it on a very basic level like they do not like movies they don't go to the movies themselves they don't like watching them they don't get it and i think

they have utter contempt for anyone who does. My only thing is like I'm hoping that at some point people that are huge names in Poland a lot of money, people like James Cameron or people of the past like Steven Spielberger are still very much around and active will like, I don't know, rally or maybe start their own companies to, it won't work as big as because they won't have the money for it. But like I hope that people start kind of branching out and being like, that we don't even want to have to deal with these studios or production companies we're just going to fund her own stuff like they start dumping all their money into that stuff

scorsacee like they can only do so much but i feel like we're going to see more pushes from people like them too because they don't want things to die and they don't know what to fucking we we personally know people that try to sell stuff productions movies and like i don't want to fucking sell this to netflix because i don't want to deal with netflix i don't want to release under Netflix. And then they have that speed bump. But I'm hoping that there are like more options that open up.

But I don't know. That's like the most hopeful I could be. I mean, I don't know. Maybe like a system like sort of like what Great Britain has where like they have a national lottery but it goes to fund their British film industry and not like we do here in America. It goes to fund like schools. You know? Like I think we should be

we should be funding schools through taxes and then like our film industry through things like the lottery. Yeah. Or like Canada gives a good If gambling is just going to be legal, if betting on sports now is legal everywhere, I think that it should just be like a one cent tax on all online sports bets that are placed in this country that goes into a giant fund to promote and fund

and produce and distribute the work of like actual filmmakers. It's insane. It's insane that we legalize gambling without something like that, without like a fucking one to five percent tax that subsidizes some cultural, educational, some type of youth project. I don't know, the gyms in every zip code thing. Like something that isn't like...

Something. Something that isn't of like the utmost dire importance to like the functioning of a society, of a civilization, like the things that you'd want taxes to go for. But like an additional small tax on things that are vices to fund things that are perhaps not like life and death and importance, but I would say still

very, very integral to like, I don't know, having a culture. Like being a country. being a real country that has anything to be proud of or you know that people can enjoy or feel a part of it.

We used to be a country our millionaires and richest people were psychos like Howard Hughes where all they wanted to do is make movies. Big movies, right? Yeah.

Fuck actresses. And he did it. So what you want about the Aviator but he did that. And then he just sat there with the tissue on his cock watching his favorite movies over and over.

I station zebra right? When he's a TV channel and only play it? all 24-7. There are no more Ted Turner's. There's no, like, the only guy who's even close, I'm just going to go ahead and say it,

one Mr. Jeffrey Bezos, who through his money-wasting practices at Amazon Prime Video, hell, you may have a show like Goliath. Yeah, pal, you may have just about the worst taste in any human being I have ever seen, but between what you've done with Amazon Prime

video and that time when the Saudis tried to blackmail you, and you said, here's my adequate cock and my wife's beautiful Volvo that was awesome I love that you've earned your way into purgatory pal oh the rest of you

fuck you die straight to HE double hockey sticks for them yeah that's it for me I don't have much more today but um oh Andrew what's your favorite movie of the year what's the what's the Andrew Hudson

number one best movie of the year in your hmm well I'm looking forward to seeing Marty Supreme very excited but I gotta wait that could be comment but I think my favorites were probably

Eddington and probably one battle I know it's basic but you know I mostly just watch old shit I think I watched a good amount of new stuff this year but there's still a lot I still have to see

those are my favorites so far this year and I would say Eddington tied with Wicked too I will I've not seen Wicked for good yet no I didn't see it I will echo you.

Eddington was great. One battle after another, though, to me, takes the cake. However, I have seen Marty Supreme. I know. It's a five bagger. It's fucking great. Very worth seeing. But the other one, I'm going to shout out.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa is Cloud. Excellent. A deeply evil and beloved movie. I loved it. See Cloud if you get a chance. I will see Cloud, and I need to see no other choice. Like I said, I'll get to it. I don't get to live in New York City or Los Angeles.

Angeles like you celebrity guys where they just like, yeah, you want to watch this today on a Tuesday morning? Sure. But, you know, sometime I'll get to it. I feel like a foreign country not living in New York. Well, that's because everywhere else in the country is a foreign country. As I said before, only New York City is real America. Everyone else is an invader, a pretender. Why don't we make a compromise where we just make all the United States New York City? Okay. I'm going cool with that. I'm fine with that. The sixth borough. for anyone wondering my movie of the year was 2018's

Dragacost Concrete which I saw last week You just saw that for the first time Yeah Such an evil movie man What of the great evil movies I've ever seen? It is so evil like oh my God

I loved it He is a genius The inspiration that Henry has What he realizes is like What a fucking stupid asshole Richmond is Like they were so close To be able to tell themselves like okay I guess it could have

technically gone worse they were so fucking close like god what a fucking great movie oh I one of my favorites uh yeah I think he's a I think that director is like Taylor Sheridan we hear his like

an absolute psychopath in real I know you know what I don't care because like Taylor Sheridan Taylor Sheridan like he's not capable well I just I just mean like they there's stuff because I've seen all that guy's movies and I've seen a lot of Taylor shares before I'm just like

this is evil this stuff is evil but you know you see you need some evil stuff I mean it's like it's like it's like Edmund Burke where it's like conservative it's conservative but like the bet like the morally best

lead well like he also did he did a what was it what is the cell block 99 yeah that was great in cell block 99 yeah we're just like white guy at the big cross bald white got the cross

of the back of his head just killing Latinos it's like the idea that Vince Vaughn is doing this is hysterical but I haven't seen that one yet I'll see that

you see that in bone tomahawk get the whole S-cray I've actually seen bone tomahawk okay yeah that whole experience I saw that one that was great no but like there's something about

dragged across concrete just like the overwhelming like oppressive just feel of like degradation evil and cruelty in that movie is, but like, but presented in a very cold

and methodical way is like, that's what I mean, like he's, he's conjuring up some dark arts in that movie, but it is fucking, like, the level of control that he has over everything in it is so fucking good.

I thought about those first two Henry scenes and how just incredibly uncomfortable they are because he's such an unknown quantity at that point. And just how much, he does this a lot, but he really, let's it shit just like linger and cook in those first two Henry scenes.

And before you really know what this guy's deal is, you kind of are dreading what this guy is capable of. That's what there's that release valve with that brother. The overwhelming, oppressive climate of dread in that movie is

like it's exfixated. But like it takes, like I said, you need a master's level of control to do that. And he definitely, you know what is an evil movie? What?

That guy's movies, you know, made. I haven't seen all of them in a while but a movie that's evil by someone I truly love Map to the Stars by Cronomberg it is so fucked oh my god. That's another

perfect example of exactly what I'm talking about. Of just like oh skin like you feel filthy watching like the scene where the fucking kid at the child actor accidentally shoots that dog oh oh

profoundly slimy mean movie. The movie I watched before Drive to Cost Concrete is I finally saw the director's cut of the movie Payback one of my favorite movies. Oh wow.

That came out in 2006. I'd never seen it before. And I would There are things that are great about the director's cut, though I would say I probably prefer the original. But payback

and for anyone who has read the novels with the character Parker. Yeah. Even though they call them Porter in the movie. What I liked about Drag to Cause Concrete is that Ridgeman

He's like a perfect opposite mirror image To Porter Where Porter is like slick And oddly deliberate Despite being kind of like a thug Ridgeman is plotting He's such a fucking stupid annoying asshole

He pretty much never says the right thing In any given situation But there was a lot of Payback is one of the most visually distinct movies I've ever seen and there was a lot of I thought there were a lot of commonality visually between the two of these movies

yes but what do you think of the 2003 John Wu paycheck with Ben Affleck? I like it. It comes up. Not a bad movie. That's not a bad movie. It's not a bad movie. I kind of like that movie. Yeah. I feel like kind of good. I always laugh when Ben Affleck goes when Ben Affleck

explains his job and he's like I'm the best at putting things together backwards but it's a, like, it's a good movie. I mean, it has a crazy cast, Ben Affleck, Aaron Eckert, Uma Thurman, Paul Giamatti, Colm Fior, Joe, Joe Morton,

Michael C. Hall? What? In 2003? Well, I guess I was like, right after, uh, six feet under, a very evil show. Um, we don't have to go under that. All right. Well, that does it for a little,

a little brief movie mindset. Um, my apologies to have, yeah, if you like movies, check out, uh, Alex Branson's the Money Wars, which you can hear on episode one, read by Will Menacher. Oh, yeah, I'm reading the next segment of it.
