Starting point is 00:00:00 Be advised that this show is not for children, the faint of heart, or the easily offended. The explicit tag is there for a reason. Recording from Glory Hole Studios in Chicago, this is Cognitive Dissonance. Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way. We bring critical thinking, skepticism, and irreverence to any topic that makes the news, makes it big, or makes us mad. It's skeptical, it's political, and there is no welcome mat. Also, in this intro, there is no Tom. I'm putting together a show that is essentially all the stuff that we recorded at Gloryhole Studios this last week. So before we jump right into it and launch into the stories that we recorded already, I wanted to just mention a little disclaimer for this portion of the show.
Starting point is 00:01:12 So normally our show is not safe for work. It is full of swear words and awful things and terrible visualizations. There are some people who will play our show at work, etc. terrible visualizations. There are some people who will play our show at work, etc. And we just wanted to make a quick mention that in this episode, Tom and I both quote a racist. And when we quote that racist, we quote him exactly as he spoke. So if you are hypersensitive to a racial slur, you may want to skip over the first story you may uh if you are at work you may not want to play that portion out loud because we do say a word that many people take offense at so uh so we just wanted to throw a quick warning out there that we do quote the man uh so if you hear it and you're
Starting point is 00:02:00 super offended please send him the email without ado, here's the rest of our show. So this story comes from the Raw story. Georgia principal blames Satan for racist graduation rant as son blames niggers in Facebook tirade. Fuck! Well, how do I pronounce and asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, apostrophe s. I think he's saying naggers. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:02:35 I made an unfair assumption. It was an aspersion on his character. Oh, my God. That's what he said. He's saying Niger's. They're from the Niger Delta region. I mean, that's what he said. I know.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I'm not afraid of saying words. You may have noticed. No, it's fine. It's fine. I wouldn't want to misquote the guy. This is why my kids can never listen to my show. I know. Like, my son's been asking more and more, and I'm just like, never.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Never, never listen. When do you think it's going to be appropriate for your son to actually say swear words? He's, it's funny because we've started doing it a little bit around that. Cause I want to take the, I want to take the piss out of the words a little bit. So now like we'll do, I don't know why I'm saying this. Now we'll do a thing sometimes at bedtime. Well, he'll ask. Cause I started, I read, I was reading a bedtime story to him.
Starting point is 00:03:27 And then just to see what he would do, just for giggles, I made one of the characters swear at it. I'm like, don't give me that shit, said Jack. And he laughed until he cried. He thought it was the funniest thing ever because it was like this super subversive thing. And then he asked for it occasionally. He'll be like, can you read me a chapter of the book with swear words in it and then i'll read it with some swear words like light swear sure you're not like shit and ass and yeah right or whatever yeah i'm not just gonna be like okay fuck to write the cut when do the poos get hardcore what are you doing under
Starting point is 00:03:58 the blanket there finn stop that finn yeah but so now we do it, and the first four or five times we did it, it was hilarious every time. And now he's like, he doesn't pay attention to it anymore. It's just taking all the piss out of it. And so now occasionally he'll be like, can I say the A word? And then I'll be like, sure, that's alright in the house
Starting point is 00:04:19 as long as you understand you can't say it around grandma and grandpa at school or whatever. You can say it if you ask. And then he'll say it, and then he'll laugh, there's like a little bit of like charge from him saying it. But even that's starting to lose its novelty. Sure. When it loses its novelty, then it's just not exciting anymore. Yeah. So this story, there was a graduation ceremony.
Starting point is 00:04:38 And I guess some people left the graduation ceremony early. Right. That's the thing. Yeah. And this dude went fucking. Woman. It's a woman. It's a woman? The woman went crazy and her son defended her oh no i thought he said some shit though no but did i misunderstand so here's how here's how the story went down the woman on stage
Starting point is 00:04:56 says something like hey come on back the valedictorian hasn't made a speech yet people still leave oh you're right and then she says, it's like all the black people are leaving or something. She says something. What does she say? Do you see it? She says, you people are so rude to not listen to this speech. And she says, look at all the people that's leaving. It's the black people. Look who's leaving. All the black people. So then she
Starting point is 00:05:17 says, the day later or whatever, she apologizes. She says, basically... Well, she didn't apologize. No, she said, I'll read what she says. Georgia educator who's ran about black people walking out when they thought the graduation ceremony had ended went viral this weekend and she apologized and blamed the devil
Starting point is 00:05:33 for making the words come out of her mouth. And so basically the first the devil comes in her mouth and then the little boy leans back and she drips it into his mouth because I've seen that video. Not with the mother-son thing, but I have seen it before. I have seen it before.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Look, the devil came in her mouth. It did. It did. And she's a spitter, not a swallower. And she's got it. Look, you drip it between parties. That's how this works. You share.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Because I don't make a lot of this. I don't make a lot. This is a precious fluid. This is a very, very precious fluid. You've got to share. The devil's life force. All of you young ladies. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:06:15 That's horrifying. That's horrifying. Everything about this is horrifying. My son's never listening to this show. No. Never. Never. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah, she says the devil was in the house and came out from my mouth. Everything about this is horrifying. My son's never listening to this show. No. Never. No. Never. Yeah. Yeah. She says the devil was in the house and came out from my mouth. No, no, no, no. It's the other way around. The other way around. Nope. You know, I love when you hear stuff like that, like, oh, I shouldn't have said it. It's like, fucking, you shouldn't have thought it.
Starting point is 00:06:39 You know what I mean? Don't worry about the fact that you were unable to restrain your racism right you know that's really what she's saying is she's saying like look i'm a racist asshole and what i should have done is i should have recognized that the context for my racist tirade was not here and now i should have fucking taken my racist tirade and fucking spewed that evil hate-filled shit at home right Right. And not in public. Right. So what she's really saying is I'm sorry you found out how I really feel.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah. But, but not only, she's not saying, I'm sorry you found out. What she's saying is you're so stupid. You'll believe that the devil is the one who made me do it and not me. Right. I'm not the racist asshole. The devil is the racist asshole. Do you think the devil would really be racist though?
Starting point is 00:07:24 I think the devil would be like, I don't care how you come on my side. I will fucking say whatever you want. Right. If the devil was a real thing, the devil would fucking use whatever is in his power. And if it happens to be racism to get an asshole racist to be on their side,
Starting point is 00:07:39 then they would use it. All you're doing is you're saying, I'm a fucking racist prick, but I don't want everybody to know I'm a racist prick. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to lie to everybody and say the fucking devil made me do it because you guys all believe in this mythology. Right. And nobody down here is going to question that. Nobody down here is going to look at this critically and be like, are you sure that wasn't you? Because I thought it was you i thought i thought i heard your voice that sounded like a thing you were saying when you fucking directly said the thing you said the
Starting point is 00:08:14 devil is so tricky so tricky well at least she was able to abdicate responsibility by fucking foisting it you imagine if there really was a devil? And he's just like, don't blame me. I was a prisoner. And the thing about the devil coming in her mouth and her saying, she would say, you won't even understand her. What's the sound of a racist
Starting point is 00:08:43 gargling? She's making a racist clucking sound as he's fucking her mouth. Is there a chicken in the coop or something? No, there's no chicken in the coop. There's a cock in your mouth. Nicely done. The sun and the spike. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I think we're done with this story. Oh, God. We didn't even get to the part where the sun responds. What did the sun... Oh, let's do it. Okay, so the sun decided to come to mom's rescue. And there's dramatic music like dun-dun-dun-dun. This is like, imagine if your house was on fire and you called the fire department and they showed up with flamethrowers.
Starting point is 00:09:36 They show up with TNT and they just throw it inside and hope it explodes. There's fucking grenades in your house. They're like, my baby's in the house. Hang on. Let me throw a grenade full of pit bulls at it. Ma'am, step back. RPG. Fire in the hole.
Starting point is 00:09:53 There was already fire in the hole. There's fire in literally all the holes. All the holes are on fire. There was fire in at least one of our holes. I'll tell you what. From the devil. Anyway, so her son valiantly steps up.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Yeah, and he responded on Facebook by saying so eloquently, I hope that I can capture his erudite. Tom is quoting this person, so it's not, Tom is not being racist. Tom is quoting a racist. I'm not sure that I can match his eloquent elocution, but allow me to give it a whirl.

Right, I think he's saying, and to everyone there are people hating getting on my page and posting shit. So I'm sorry in advance if it happened? Is that supposed to be happened? Because it reads Happer books. It's H-A-P-P-R-B-X.
Starting point is 00:13:27 There's no hope for the future. That sounds like a model of a car. I'm driving a Nissan Happerbooks. It's a sweet, sweet car. It's a sweet car. It's really racist. You can't buy it if you're black. You can't drive it if you're Asian.
Starting point is 00:13:44 It only comes in white. You can't buy it if you're black. You can't drive it if you're Asian. It only comes in white. If you're Latino, you have to fit like 50 of you inside. It has extra headroom for your clan hood. You can fit three burning crosses in the back. Oh, man. Delete this whole story. It's like the most racist thing we've ever done.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Oh, God. It's not our fault. He's a racist. Stop it. Is trusting God important? It's the only thing that gets favor from him. He doesn't respond to pain or tears or heartache. He only responds to being believed.

You're just like fucking you get to fucking throw the board in your fucking opponent's face hard enough to embed those little tiles in their eyes. F Q F Q. If you don't have to use but the thing is is that you can't spell it in scrabble because there's always isn't q and u together no they're not they're not so that's the problem with scrabble is you always have to you get the q and then you gotta fucking

So she was mentally ill. She has a fucking hundred kids.
Starting point is 00:16:16 She decided to seek the help of. And it says, sadly, the poor woman could not withstand the continuous sessions of torture. Well, maybe don't have the torture continuous. You would think. Maybe interval torture. You would think you'd be like, huh, you know, when we're doing this exorcism, people are calling it torture. Maybe we shouldn't do that. At least break it up, though.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Yeah. You know, like, at least that's what I mean. Like, like intervals. Make it like the Tough Mudder, where you, like, run a little bit and you have to climb a thing and then you wait to bodice they should have to bodice torture there you go to bodice style torture 20 seconds on 10 seconds off so you're like okay okay i got a breather all right all right back to the hot poker back to the red hot poker you can brand me for the next 20 seconds i only gotta do 20 seconds and then after that i get ice and then it's 20 seconds. I only got to do 20 seconds. And then after that, I get ice.

Starting point is 00:17:56 so it says to cast out the evil spirit from her body the loudly recited incantations and passages from the quran with the help of four of his assistants so evidently you can have an assistant it's like wait i'm not a full-blown i'm just like the assistant you sound like you're pronouncing something in star wars what is it again it's an fq what fqih ih so they said some fucking words at her fine okay who cares um but then fucking part two is they beat her with sticks all over her body uh to force the evil spirit to leave her well rather than the evil spirit her fucking life force left her. Thicc. Arabic.
Starting point is 00:18:47 How is it pronounced? Thicc. Arabic. Thicc. Thicc. Why wouldn't you just have the I in front of the Q? If that's a sound you're trying to make with your face. That's a thicc.
Starting point is 00:19:00 No. That's what it says, thicc. Well, I don't believe you. So how are you going to pronounce it then? Thicc. Thicc. Th. I don't believe you. So how are you going to pronounce it then? Sorry, dad. Oh, fuck you, dad. He's not a listener, so it's okay.
Starting point is 00:19:26 So it's just another story of some fucking unbelievably desperate, mentally ill person being abused by fucking charlatans yeah and and another example of how when you say someone is possessed by some sort of demon that they can be seriously injured by your own fuck nuttery right yeah and this idea that like oh it doesn't matter like people can believe it doesn't matter if people have a fucking supernatural worldview. And they, you know, like, we'll just let, why are you guys so critical, man? Live and let live, man. Live and let live. Live and let live.
Starting point is 00:19:50 It's all good. We all believe in the same God. Except for that sometimes you got to, you know, the God I believe in requires a stick beating. Yeah. Because it needs them to be beaten. Yeah. They've got to be bloody. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:02 We only eat our steaks rare. Oh, no. Oh, no. You're all sick. Oh, be beaten. Right, yeah. They've got to be bloody. We only eat our steaks rare. Oh, no! You're all sick! Oh, be nice! Oh, my son doesn't stand a chance. The whole world's gone gay! Oh, my God. What's happening now? We work hard.
Starting point is 00:20:17 We play hard. This story comes from the Raw story. Rush Limbaugh panics over the decline of Christianity in America, says a million gay activists are to blame. A million gay activists are to blame. I didn't know Rush Limbaugh was still on air. I actually didn't. I mean, I hadn't thought. I thought.
Starting point is 00:20:40 First of all, I thought he choked on fucking hot dog water years ago. First of all, I thought he choked on fucking hot dog water years ago. He just calls an intern to feed him hot dogs during the break. He's like Jabba eating frogs, except for it's like a Coney Island Jabba. So Rush Limbaugh said, what he wound up saying was, the drop in self-identifying christians could be explained by homosexual marriage um limbaugh noted that many christians or limbaugh noted that many churches already performed same-sex weddings and had ordained clergy and in some cases and this is a quote and in some cases female and lesbian ministers which you might think in some cases could cause
Starting point is 00:21:24 people to leave those churches, those denominations, the Methodists and the Presbyterians and Lutherans dropped a lot of members. And I'm still quoting here. He says, they have left their churches because of the social issues and the evolution of their churches to social areas they didn't want to go and don't feel comfortable in. And he says, if you look at the evangelical churches, they haven't lost anything. Their membership is holding pretty steady where the message has remained, where the
Starting point is 00:21:51 mission has remained the same, where the members of the church don't think any of the corruption is taking place. They're still hanging in there. And I would say, well, let's look at this in a different lens instead of saying, well, they had a gay minister. So that's why the people left maybe the fact is is that the people who are leaving the churches are leaving because they're seeing some of their churches be fucking bigoted douchebags and they recognize that the church itself might not be a good thing that the pushback against these people who they see as everyday people,
Starting point is 00:22:26 it doesn't matter, you're not a sinner in their eyes. If you're calling out every week that these people are sinners, these people are sinners, it's not just this, it's the people who happen to be pro-choice or the people who happen to be anti-war,
Starting point is 00:22:38 the people, you know, anybody who's not conservative. Suddenly you look at those people and you say, well, those people are evil or those people are pushing an evil agenda. And you look around you're like well a lot of my friends think this is it the church that's wrong or am i wrong some people may be looking at it and saying you know what i don't think i'm wrong i think i'm a pretty good judge of character and then they walk away from the church i think that may be why the church is losing
Starting point is 00:23:00 because they're finally showing their bigoted sides at least the bigoted portions of the church. I think the inclusive ones, you know, I think that those people were probably less religious to begin with. You know, I was thinking about this and I was thinking that maybe the more progressive churches, maybe they're losing members because what they really are is a stepping stone away from the actuality of the church of religious teaching right because you can't be a uh all welcoming you know methodist church that believes you know in some parts here in some parts there but we're going to ignore the other parts as soon as i'm comfortable i think as soon as i the evangelicals right what they're they're not losing members because they're still holding fast they're saying everything in here is true everything's true true. This is before you continue. This is assuming that he's correct in his numbers. Yeah, we have no I have no way to know.
Starting point is 00:23:52 But I think he's right because there's a Pew Research poll that this is based off of. And it does break down some of this. And I was poking around looking at this the other day. So I think that there's some there is a decline in evangelicals, but it's not as sharp as it is in some of the more progressive churches. But I think a progressive church is really just a step down the slope toward agnosticism or atheism because there's got to – there's a recognition that there's a pick and a choose. And the evangelicals don't recognize that they're picking and choosing, right? They would say that they're not. We know they are, but they would say that they're not picking and choosing.
Starting point is 00:24:24 not. We know they are, but they would say that they're not picking and choosing. And if you're, you know, one of these all welcoming, you know, United Church of Christ or the Methodists or the Episcopalians, you're saying like, well, you know, we want to revise our message to be more socially inclusive. Well, how do I reconcile the revision of your message with the words in your book? And if I'm if I start down that path, how do I not finish at the end, which says, And if I start down that path, how do I not finish at the end, which says, well, wait a minute. If A and B in the book are untrue, I'm really curious about C through F. Right, right. You know, I think progressive churches do a, I think they're a wonderful thing. Not just because they're less hate-filled and less bigoted, but I guess because I think that they inevitably lead people toward questioning.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I think you're right, yeah. I can't do it. We'll do it live. Okay. We'll do it live. Okay. We'll do it live! Fuck it! Do it live! I'll write it and we'll do it live!
Starting point is 00:25:15 Fucking thing sucks! So this story comes from the Huffington Post. Bill O'Reilly blames the decline of American religion on hip-hop. He doesn't blame it on any fucking thing. It turns out it's just anything. It's the fucking kids with their rock and roll music. Fucking jello. When is it been that the older generation hasn't looked down at the younger generation been like they're fucking it all up right they're talking about rap music is like the decline of
Starting point is 00:25:52 something i mean they were talking about heavy metal being the decline of something before sure it's just it's just a fucking the music du jour dude it was elvis at one point i'm sure you know what i mean it was like it's always whatever it is whatever it is yeah whatever whatever happens to be the thing i'm sure swing dancing at some point oh dude fucking bane of existence i mean it was it was like you know it was hyper sexualized you know super aggressive music they got the fucking young people's engines roaring you know like it's all the same bullshit it's what it is is old people looking around and being like, that's not my cardigan sweater. Okay. Why don't these youngsters like to play golf?
Starting point is 00:26:31 Back in my day, we shuffle boarded and we liked it. You know? Yeah. All right, dude. It's because you're not getting laid. You're looking around and you're seeing fucking hot 20-year-olds fucking each other. And you're like, I want to fuck a hot 20 year old so bad. And you can't you can't fucking get out there and swing dance with them.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Right. Because you'll fucking break your hip. I know you will break your hip. It's it's jealousy. Yeah. I really think a lot of this anti youth nonsense comes from jealousy. It's like, man, I look at the youth of today. Like they're way worse than the youth of yesterday because that was me.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And you have to be worse than me. Otherwise, I'm bad. And I know I'm not bad. But if I see a bad thing, it has to be coming from not me, but you. Do you think that also there's a little bit of underlying racist tones in here from Bill O'Reilly or no? Underlying? Underlying? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Overlying? Overtly racist tones? Yeah, man, because he's not blaming it on, youlying, overtly racist tones. Yeah, man, because he's not blaming it on, you know, like, I mean, he's blaming it on a product of black culture. Sure. Right. And he's said so much racist shit in the past. So much. So very much.
Starting point is 00:27:41 It's kind of awesome. But he does. I mean, he goes out on a limb all the time about the rap industry. I think he really doesn't like black culture or rap culture. No, not at all. I think that's a fair and safe fucking thing to say. I think Bill O'Reilly would come on this fucking show and say the same fucking thing. He says the rap industry, for example, often glorifies depraved behavior, and that sinks into the minds of
Starting point is 00:28:05 some young people, the group that is most likely to reject religion. Also, many movies and TV shows show, kids don't watch TV, promote non-traditional values. If you're a person of faith, then the media generally thinks you're a loon. I'm surprised you didn't mention like subversive newspapers i know right like these kids with their flyers and newsletters with their movable type their meetups and awesome yeah god talking about fucking oh they get they get nasty telegrams from each other i remember these kids watching cbs like okay all right old man back into your home just go back into your home filled with hate well he's talking about them declining it's the
Starting point is 00:28:55 decline of american religion based on hip-hop right that to me feels not true i mean super super not super not true yeah it's funny too because um there's actually been i was i was looking at another article there's actually been a resurgence in uh of religious lyrics within a lot of hip-hop music that um religious lyrics and religiosity because the you know overall um the black community where where much hip-hop comes from is actually a very religious community. And they're totally unafraid to interject their religious thoughts and feelings into their music. So you actually have a group of overtly religious people, Christians, almost entirely.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I mean, if you look at the numbers, the black community is very overtly Christian and they're singing about Christian shit and they're interjecting, you know, pieces of their faith into their music. And he's just like, well, I don't believe in it. So we're listening to it or be knowledgeable about it. So I don't like it. You know, it's just fucking old man. It is. fucking old man hate. It is.

Creationist researcher tells a Duggar in law. It's like a new thing.
Starting point is 00:31:45 There's got to be so many of them. There will be. It'll be like a whole nation. Like it's the nation of Duggar and Law. That's like a new thing. A Duggar? There's got to be so many of them. There will be. It'll be like a whole nation. Like it's the nation of Duggar and Law. There's so many Duggars. It's its own nationality. There's so many Duggars you can play that like seven steps to Kevin Baker or whatever with the Duggars. It's not even seven steps.
Starting point is 00:32:03 There's so many of them. You're like three steps away from a Duggar. Right, yeah.gar you know how they say you're never more than ten feet from a spider yeah there's so many Duggars at this point you go out to your trees and bushes and you stick broomsticks in them
Starting point is 00:32:21 and you shake Duggars out of them they like scurry out having sex with something as they run that's awesome that's fucking raining duggers again so this creationist researcher which is a rather grandiose title for a creationist says to a dugger in law there really is no such thing as an atheist um so jessa seawald um whatever i don't know i don't even know is that a is that even a boy's name jessa it's like a porn star name a weird it is a porn star name um it was featured on 19 kids and counting recently went on the institution for creation research um in texas and the husband ben i don't understand this story so okay they they asked the
Starting point is 00:33:08 director of research how he would prove to atheists that god exists and the the response was basically the evidence of god is everywhere he says the evidence of god is ubiquitous it's everywhere and in fact romans 1 tells us that god has revealed himself to everyone. And that means there really is no such thing as an atheist. There are those people who profess to be atheists, but in their heart of hearts, they know that there's God because God has revealed himself to everyone. He's hardwired us to know that he exists. And he's hardwired us in such a way that when we look into the universe, we immediately recognize it's the handiwork of God. And not just a God, the God. We recognize God.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Everything is wrong with everything he just said. It reminds me of like a child's argument. Right. It's like it's the most childish argument you could possibly make. It's like a fucking I'm rubber. You're glue argument. Yeah, I can't. I read that and i was like are you
Starting point is 00:34:05 fucking serious and this is this is a person who's been indoctrinated their whole life because they can't they can't get there no no matter what they do they can't get there so they immediately think well god's revealed himself to me so there's no way he didn't reveal himself to you either and therefore you're lying you're lying that you're an atheist you've been revealed to god you know that god's a real thing but you're denying him You're lying that you're an atheist. You've been revealed to God. You know that God's a real thing, but you're denying him. These are this is somebody who is so indoctrinated. They can't get past that point.
Starting point is 00:34:32 And that worldview is so unbelievably self-centered. Oh, that's it. That's what that's what a fucking religious worldview is, though. I mean, it's so narcissistic. I mean, what is it that it was? It was it was saying it was like we're a speck on a speack on a spack on a spack or maybe it was tyson i don't know somebody some astronomer said that right we're a spack on a spack on a spack on a spack and it's true we are tiny tiny tiny little thing in a enormous universe and a universe we can't
Starting point is 00:35:01 even comprehend it's so big how do you look at this entirety of existence and say, God wanted me to buy this car? You know? Right. God wanted me to flip my Jaguar. God wanted me to meet this person. Right. God wanted, you know, God wanted me to, to become the fucking, I don't even know. What does he, what does he say?
Starting point is 00:35:22 He's the fucking. He's the director. Director of fucking research at the Institute for creation research god wanted me to have this position like somehow the institute for creation research is is important outside of the building of institution for creation research it's not okay it's not at all but you can't have a world view like this and not think it is yeah you can't have a worldview like this and look at the world and say, I am the most important thing in this world because God answers my prayers. You can't look at the universe in any other way. You not be a narcissist if you think that God is a personal God.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Well, you know, plus like the hardwire argument, like I've heard that hardwire argument so many times. hardwire argument so many times and it's like if you tell me that that that god the belief in god the ubiquity of god just fucking smacking my microphone the ubiquity of god and you're just put your microphone away just put it away stop slapping your microphone over there just put it away tom that slow rumble is tom bringing himself to climax that's the longest i've gone oh my goodness you're on viagra you know like this hardwire thing though like like what a mean thing to say it's a mean thing to say because what it says what he's saying but not saying is he's saying well god has revealed himself to everybody and i'm listening and you're not yeah and you're too stupid or dysfunctional or broken or emotionally damaged or spiritually fucking obtuse sure and so
Starting point is 00:36:56 are most literally most of the other people that are alive and have ever lived across all of time but me me sitting here i know the revealed truth sure and you know too because it's in your heart of hearts but you're denying it because you're a bad person right and you're and you're too fucking stupid or hard you know hearted or whatever to listen to it that the problem is is that i only have one heart right i don't have a heart of hearts your heart of hearts my heart is inside my heart beating i don't know what does it beat faster is it like a mouse heart it beats like 200 beats a minute my heart of hearts well it would die younger then i don't know right because it's got like it's got like a set number well my heart is like the size of an elephant heart that's enlarged that's not good so my heart of hearts is like a human-sized heart
Starting point is 00:37:40 so that's not anything to brag about my friend that's because it's it's just i don't know if a heart gorge with fat it's just like it's not really blood anymore it's just pure cholesterol it's pumping around my body it's like it's all a pump smell it's like a sub pump trying to move land to lakes it's like when i cut myself i leave a grease stain just like awesome you can see through paper if you touch it it makes all wood pulp clear it's amazing if i flipped over in that jaguar i would there would be an oil slick on the road you just squeeze right out if you if you hug a tree, it disappears. That's demonic, everybody.
Starting point is 00:38:35 It is absolutely demonic. So this story comes from the Raw story. New York pastor, Baltimore rioted because blacks aren't mature enough to have a black president. Pastor motherfucking Manning, yo. This guy is fucking straight awesome. It's 12 minutes long. Oh, God. Let's see if we can just play a little bit of it and see what happens.
Starting point is 00:38:57 When John, when you ate the pudding chocolate cake for breakfast I took you out and put you in this world I'll take you out okay alright great he sounds like that guy who sings oh it's a wonderful world Louis Armstrong it's a wonderful
Starting point is 00:39:21 world except for his is like it's not a wonderful world. Except for his is like, it's not a wonderful world. Fitzgerald Kennedy ran for president. A large number of people were very concerned that America was not ready for a Catholic president and the influence of the pope upon american politics and his constitution he was able to convince america he was not a catholic that he was a no he was still a catholic he just convinced him that he wasn't going to listen to the pope yeah i just convinced him that it didn't fucking matter that you could actually compartmentalize your fucking religious from your politics right yeah just turns out he no he convinced everyone that he wasn't a Catholic.
Starting point is 00:40:05 What did he do? Like, fucking, did he just go out and make piss Christ after that? Is that how he convinced everybody? He, like, fucking pissed in a tube and put a crucifix in it upside down? If you will, one of the worst skirt chasers on the planet. He did not believe in God. No, he did. He avowedly did.
Starting point is 00:40:23 He did. But he was also a skirt chaser. He was, yeah. Yeah, he did. He avowedly did. He did. But he was also a skirt chaser. Yeah, he was fucking... Look, man, if you're the president and you can't get any tail from that, why be the president? Defeats the whole purpose. Fucking A. If you can't leverage your celebrity... Like a whole
Starting point is 00:40:37 line of Monica Lewinsky's. Are you kidding me? And so therefore, he was elected. A number of people still do not believe that America is ready for a Jewish president or a giraffe president. A lot of people don't believe. I think we are ready for a Jewish president. Tom, we just had a Muslim president. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Oh, no. The Jewish enclave, Jewish beliefs, the Talbot, the Torah, Hashim. Are these candidates that you're reading? It's Talbot. Yeah, the Talbot. Oh, Talbot. Talbot. He even got a Jewish store in the mall called the Talbots.
Starting point is 00:41:18 I would never vote for President Torah. It just wouldn't happen. It would be detrimental to the American social religious scene for a Jew to be president. Well, I'm here to state that America was not and still is not ready for a black or an African-American Negro. And in conclusion, a Hamite president. I stated that. Hamite? That sounds delicious.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Are we ready for a Vegemite president? Can I get that on rye? In 2007, I screamed it from the rooftop in 2008. It was bullshit then, bullshit now. I said some things then. Let me tell you the things I said. He probably didn't say anyway, but he's going to tell you he said. anyway but he's gonna say tell you he said yeah and i stated that uh the americans who were supporting and promoting this half breed half baked half bleach half black half white character barack hussein obama did he just say what i think he said god this man is so offensive all the time
Starting point is 00:42:22 half breed half breed what is he like a, is he like an orichal? What is going on here? He's like part muggle, I think is what it is. It's a mudblood. You knew the name of it. Oh, you're such a dork. Themselves were trying to absolve their own self-guilt and solve the problem of slavery in America. Wait, the problem of slavery was solved a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Wasn't there an amendment? I don't feel guilty about slavery. I mean, not even a little bit do I feel guilty about slavery. Do I recognize the fucking racial injustice and inequality still exists in America today? Absolutely. Do I feel guilty about slavery do i recognize the fucking racial injustice and inequality still exists in america today absolutely yeah do i feel guilty about slavery uh that's not a thing no no i don't even know how i would get there and the debauchery the brokenness of the debauchery debauchery i don't think that's not a word it's debauchery and i don't think he's using it right although we're going to get the pronunciation from the fucking vitamin crowd.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Right. That a black president would be the utopia. It would be the panacea. And it would solve all problems regarding crime, teenage pregnancy, poor education, broken families, imprisonment. Who thought this? Who thought this? Who thought this? Who thought that by having a black man in office that there's just like teenagers are just going to become infertile? You know what I thought?
Starting point is 00:43:53 He was better than McCain. I know, right? That's what I thought when I voted for him. And you know what I thought when I voted for him again? He was better than Romney. Right. That's what I thought. I didn't think he was going to just like pull his giant black cock out and wave it like
Starting point is 00:44:07 a wand and immediately all the problems of America were going to go away. He waves it at the fucking pregnant teenager like, Expelliarmus, and they're not pregnant anymore. Yes. No, I think that's abortion armors. Abortion armors. They just all fucking miscarry. No, like, like, I didn't think that at all no nobody thought that
Starting point is 00:44:28 nobody thinks that you're immediately gonna you know even the people who didn't know the issues that voted for him voted for him because he was more charismatic than the other person sure right that's that's or they voted on party lines there's so many reasons why people vote. But fixing all the problems, I can't think of a single person who says, I'm voting for someone because I know they're going to fix everything. Right. Most of the time when I vote, I vote because I think they won't fuck it up as bad. Right. That's exactly how I vote. I think like, well, the world seems like it will be worse if I vote in the other direction.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Yeah. I don't think you're going to make anything better. I just don't want things if I vote in the other direction. Yeah. I don't think you're going to make anything better. I just don't want things to change markedly for the worse. Right. That's all I'm asking at this point. Can we not go downhill? Yeah. That's what I'd like to see.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Yeah. That a black president would solve all of those problems. Nothing could have been further from the truth or even more ludicrous and ridiculous because it wasn't the truth to begin with nobody thought it anyway and the reason why i said that america was not ready for a black president is because it would give a false sense of accomplishment it would be like taking a student who has got consistently F's in every class every year throughout the 12th grade, and all of a sudden you give them a diploma and they've not earned it. Black people have not risen.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And by the way, let me hasten to say, I pray that you will have the intellectual discernment and the spiritual abilities to recognize I do not speak this out of a sense of hatred for Hamite people or hatred for the idiots that voted for Obama who are Japheth and Jewish people. I don't hate any of them. Wait, what? Japheth? Japheth? Isn't that the things that ants use to get like nectar? Japheths? Isn't that what that is? It was just ridiculous. And sometimes when you speak the truth, it sounds or feels like hate. It is. I think we end with that. I think that's a perfect way to end.
Starting point is 00:46:33 That's a perfect way to end this guy. Fucking throat node McGee over here. I'm Raymond Massey, and I have a special message for senior citizens. I'm Raymond Massey, and I have a special message for senior citizens. Today's doctors, drugs, and medical devices truly work medical miracles for young and old alike. But there are some as phony as a $3 bill. Investigate before you invest in health services or products. Help stamp out quackery.
Starting point is 00:47:11 This story comes from Doufulnews.com a woman died after injection of oxygen by holistic quacks um so this is this story is just super weird so these two idiots carl backman or bachman and cody stone king um decided that they were doctors, not actual doctors. They just decided they were. And they put some fucking ads out for their crazy octozone treatments. And they fucking people flew across the country along with their kids to get fucking injected with oxygen under the guise that the octozone treatments would be be a preventative street treatment uh for people to stay healthy and kill pathogens in their blood but it turns out that's actually a great way to get a fucking embolism yeah it's like an air embolism like they train nurses and doctors so that you don't get those right because they tap the needle and they make sure they make sure that there's some sort of that there's no air in there. Right. Because even though I was reading about this, too, and a bunch of nurses had commented when they when they tap it, they're actually looking for an accurate measurement because the tiny amount of air that could possibly be in there probably wouldn't be that that dangerous.
Starting point is 00:48:17 But if you are getting multiple shots over and over and over again, sure, that level of air can add up. So they they are careful every time. But then they also try to get a very accurate measurement of the medicine that they're putting in you. They're not, you know, it's not like fucking, eh, give them about one milliliter. They don't do that. They're like, eh, whatever you think.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Eh, just stick it in there, pull it up, stick it in there again. Fill that thing up about, I don't know, halfway or so. Look, it's not like you're putting fucking Ziki sauce on your fucking gyro. Little more.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Okay, just dump it. I want it dipped. Can you dip my gyro in Ziki sauce? I'm actually looking for more of a Ziki sauce soup. Can you just float the gyro in a tub of it? I'll bob for it. Can I just bob for it? Can I just use the gyro meat as chips and I'll do this like chips and salsa? No, but like we train people to do this.
Starting point is 00:49:13 We train people so that they don't give people these air embolisms. And they went out of their way to give someone. They got on an airplane and flew there to go get. They got on an airplane and flew there to go get. It's so outrageous what people will do for under the guise of these fucking alternative treatments. Right. It's like and the best part is they were charged for it. You know, they didn't give it to him out of the fucking goodness of their evil, evil hearts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:39 And it's it's it's an elderly woman. So chances are this is end of life stuff. Like, you know, this person is very sick. Sure. So, yeah, I mean, it's just, they're just preying on people that are looking to live. And they're, you know, they're going to, it's just an awful thing. This is awful. It's just, quackery is, never anybody walks away from it unscathed.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Right. And this is an opportunity, this is a chance where they don't walk away from it at all. They just die. You know, I went to Seattle and I went to an oxygen bar in Seattle. Did I ever tell you about this? No. So a long time ago, I was in Seattle. Yeah, it was super funny, dude.
Starting point is 00:50:16 That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It was hilarious. It was supposed to be like the new thing, you know, but it's not the new thing because it's fucking retarded. new thing you know but it's not the new thing because it's fucking retarded and so basically it's like you sit at a at a bar stool and then they have like a disposable thing that goes like around your head and like has the little things that kind of go up your nose a little bit to feed and then it's connected to an oxygen container shut up with and then but then you can get different stinky like you can get different smells like i want coconut smelly oxygen or whatever and then you could like mix and match.
Starting point is 00:50:46 So you can make like pina colada. Can't you just fucking buy some Febreze? It's basically like glade. It was like shoving potpourri up your nose. But and they were supposed to like, you know, supposed to be like refreshing. But it's not. It just doesn't. It just feels like air that you paid money to breathe.
Starting point is 00:51:05 That's exactly it. But I sat there with my wife. We sat there and we did the oxygen thing for like, I don't know, $4 or something for like a couple of minutes. That's funny. And I sat there breathing. And then I left and I had less money. And all I had done was breathe. And I was like, I didn't feel more energetic.
Starting point is 00:51:24 God. it done was breathe and i was like i didn't feel more energetic god i didn't feel like like anything except for that i just breathed something that smelled kind of nice for a few minutes there is something to say about like the free time that we have in the society i know right to think about stupid shit like that and the resources right like in no other part of the world are they just like i care so little for my extra money like parts of the world they're like i need to eat a food and you're just like i don't even give a shit i paid money for air fuck you poor people oh man i care so little i fucking inject air into my heart and die that's how much sister comes from the bbc islamic state releases al-bagdadi message
Starting point is 00:52:24 um so isis has released an audio message it says it's from the BBC, Islamic State releases al-Baghdadi message. So ISIS has released an audio message. It says it's from its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, which, by the way, I think I fucking nailed that pronunciation. I fucking crushed that shit. You did. And it says, I can't wait to hear how this gets spun. He says, there is no excuse for any Muslim not to migrate to the Islamic state. Joining the fight is a duty on every Muslim. We are calling on you either to join or carry weapons to fight wherever you are.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. Wait, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. peace islam is the religion of fighting wait hold on hold on no hold on islam is the original religion of fighting for your rights is what he meant to say right is that what he meant to say no one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the islamic state it is the war of all muslims the war of all muslims as dictated by our culture. Is that how it is? But the Islamic State is spearheading it.
Starting point is 00:53:27 It is the war of Muslims against infidels. And by infidels, we mean the American political system. Is that what you mean? Tom, help me understand this, because this doesn't sound like the narrative I've been told. Right. Yeah. Right. No kidding.
Starting point is 00:53:42 It's like you can't be any. He is saying this is the religion. But he doesn't mean it, Tom. He doesn't mean it. He doesn't mean it. He. Right. No kidding. It's like you can't be any – like he is saying this is the religion of – But he doesn't mean it, Tom. He doesn't mean it. He doesn't mean it. He said it. No, he doesn't speak for himself. Now, isn't that more insulting though, don't you think?
Starting point is 00:53:53 When you say like – when you try to make apologies for this guy being a hateful dipshit and you try to say, well, he doesn't mean that. What he really means is – Aren't you being fucking like – aren't you being even more insulting than just taking him for his word for it? I think you are. You know, and the other thing that you'll hear sometimes is like, well, you know, they're just using the veneer of religion to incite people to join their political cause. And like the fucking second question is, well, why would that work if religion did not have in built within its mechanisms yeah a uh a violent um indoctrinated message then it wouldn't work right because you couldn't use like you couldn't be like oh well
Starting point is 00:54:35 they just use the veneer of ice cream soda to get people to fucking go to syria and fucking murder each other right it wouldn't work you like, well, that's not a thing. Like, I love ice cream soda. Like, that's delicious. Like a root beer float. Amazing. Well, Muslims really like cold stone creamery, don't they? Stoned.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Cold stoned. Cold stoned creamery. Stoned. Yeah. It's like, why would it work? Why would this work? It's doing this. The thing is that, like, religion is doing a work, a social work it it's doing this the thing is that like religion is doing a work a
Starting point is 00:55:06 social work it's it's it's it's the fucking grease right that allows that gear to turn right there's there's fucking no other way to look at it you can't look at that and be like oh well you know i mean i'm sure and there's other grease in there it's not like there isn't there's another grease in there it's not like they're that we're not injecting fucking grease in there every day with every drone strike it's not like that that's not happening i there. It's not like we're not injecting fucking grease in there every day with every drone strike. It's not like that. That's not happening. I understand that that's happening.
Starting point is 00:55:28 But to fucking neglect the idea that religion is a motivator over there is fucking ignoring the whole equation. It's ignoring what the guys who are doing the violence are directly telling you with words that cannot be more clear. When they tell you religion islam is the religion of fighting abortions for all very well no abortions for anyone abortions for some miniature american flags for others so this story comes from uh times free press it's a pretty good pronunciation you got there uh let me try it uh this is tennessee republican congressman uh that's jarley that's a jarless uh he supported his ex-wife's abortions oh votes for abortion ban hey he got his you know in this article there's some there's some back and forth here
Starting point is 00:56:35 that i read and and he he's voting against late-term abortions which i think you know there's several states that have already have laws against you know like very late term abortions and certain states have like abortions after like a certain amount of times i think what the the lowest was like 20 weeks in like arizona or something there's like there's some that are very very low very few amount of weeks um pregnancy is 40 weeks long i think yes indeed and so 20 is half but at 20 it's it's it's not viable at 20 there's i don't think that there's any babies that have been born at 20 and survived i think 23 or 24 is the is the sweet spot where babies we can with lots of care possibly save a
Starting point is 00:57:21 baby at 24 and it's a possibly maybe and it's a and it's a fucking it's a fucking tadpole right i mean it is it's not even a thing they're born still with the tail exactly yeah like you have to kiss it to turn it into a frog but in any case like it's it's uh it this is this is him voting against late-term abortions which i think at a certain point intellectually people can get behind especially you know extreme late-term abortions and things like that i mean there's some intellectual 41 weeks it's just rude it's difficult um but i think that 41 weeks it's religion bashing him against rocks yeah you have this uh this guy who's saying, this is against what I believe, but he's had abortions in the past. His wife has had abortions in the past.
Starting point is 00:58:12 And what I think this says is that there's so much cognitive dissonance that goes around with this because there's so many times. I mean, there's plenty of examples of this happening where a hardline Republican, a hardline conservative has said, come out against this practice. But when things like this happen in their own life, they understand the intricacies that got them to that decision. So they're willing to make that next step. But since they're in this abbreviated line of thinking in someone else, they immediately think that they're bad people for doing this. You know, I think that I think that that's true. And what occurs to me is like and I've seen this. I've seen this with people that I've talked to.
Starting point is 00:58:55 And it's like it's like they think they're the exception to the rule. Everybody else falls into the to the category or the bucket of people that are, you know, just rolling around, fucking each other like crazy or being irresponsible. But when it happened to me, my circumstances weren't the norm. Right. And what they what they fail to understand is that there is no one norm. Right. Is that the world doesn't doesn't categorize neatly into the good and the evil. And you can't make rules based on these false categorizations of good and evil. So they see themselves as these sort of arbiters of good. Sure.
Starting point is 00:59:30 But when it happens to them, they're the, they're the exceptions. It's different when it happened to me because when it happened to my daughter, this, when it happened to my wife, that, and when I was gay,

Starting point is 01:01:00 Louisiana State Senator claims scientists used to burn heretics you got it so wrong louisiana all all of this is wrong he says there was a time when scientists thought the world was flat and if you got to the end of it you'd fall off wait what scientists scientists thought that how did they test that experiment? It's funny because the scientists thought that before science. So they were just ists at that point? No, what they did was they had a whole bunch of Newton weights and they would just drop them off the edge of the world. And then they'd be like, fuck, drop that shit off.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Man. Like it fucking flew into a black hole or something. Jeez, look at that. It's fucking singularity down there. And there was another time when scientists thought that the sun revolved around the world. And they always thought to ensure that anyone who disagreed with their science was a heretic. People were burned for not believing that the world was flat. People were really badly treated.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Were they burned because of that? No. No, it was scientists. There was never a fucking cabal of scientists declaring heresy. They had to put them on a Bunsen burner to burn them. They stick them in a beaker. Do you remember that time in 16th century Europe when the scientists were in control they do it with like some sort of like high school chemistry teacher flair too they like put them there so they like they like blow a bunch
Starting point is 01:02:32 of methane underneath them and then they wait for a second before they light it so like actually explodes around them or something they got like everybody's like wearing they're fucking gathered around the guy tied to the stake and they're all wearing lab coats. They've got their safety goggles on and they're all like, okay, guys, everybody remember the eyewash station is over here. If you get any ash in here, now we're going to be using magnesium, so it's going to flare very brightly. Look with the corner
Starting point is 01:02:55 of your eye, okay, guys? We don't want anyone getting injured. Here, lab safety. Lab safety, folks. That's awesome. They wore their medieval goggles. That's just awesome wooden goggles with no lenses they have a block
Starting point is 01:03:11 of wood strapped to their face it's just a stray dog they hold him in front of their head they cut it open
Starting point is 01:03:21 and put it on like a hat it's like a tauntaun hat you just stick your head in there thankfully my eyes are swollen shut with pox oh those scientists oh fucking scientists the fuck were you thinking don't be talking to a scientist because they'd be lying and getting me pissed you want answers i think i'm entitled you want answers i want the truth you can't handle the truth stories from right wing watch uh rick wiles uh kentucky derby proves that obama is the demonic precursor of the Antichrist. How does that work?
Starting point is 01:04:06 Sure it does, dude. All right, so two minutes and 35 seconds of awesome. Here comes Rick Wiles from his fucking true news. You had a dream in April 2008 that the Lord's telling you Obama is the man in Revelation 6. Yeah. Yeah. man in Revelation 6? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:29 It's amazing. It just sounded like this. Who takes peace from the world? To this day, I say he lived that down. Because. What? He instigated the Arab Spring in 2011.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Wait, who was saying that that's a bad thing again? What? We're against the Arab Spring now? Yeah, I guess we're against the Arab Spring. yeah i guess we're against the arab wait a minute why are we against the arab spring i mean i there was some bloodshed that happened over the arab well and i wouldn't say that that egypt emerged from it unscathed by any stretch of the imagination in fact there may be some radicalization yeah that became that's part of that but it also was a pro-democracy movement where the people rose up against you know fucking shot that shit down that's nowhere against that i don't know if you knew and how did we instigate that using twitter no no president obama's a muslim uh-huh so he instigated
Starting point is 01:05:39 it he just called on all his muslim friends to be muslim wow did you just like rub fucking two muslim sticks together and then how does that work? Created static Muslim electricity. 2011 was a very significant month because... Wait a minute, 2011 was only a month long? That's a very long, significant
Starting point is 01:05:58 month. 2011 was a very significant month. It lasted 12 other months. It's like 12 months long that month. It was very long. We had so much tragedy happen with the country that really began in 2011. But it's in 2011 that this president made the statement that Israel had to return to its 1967 borders. Which it didn't do. And he brought a curse on us. And a revelation was given to another pastor who I respect that when he said that Israel had to return to its 1967 borders, we had to return to ours. What?
Starting point is 01:06:38 Wait a minute. Our 1967 borders? We had to return to our 1967 borders. Right. America had to return to its 1967. What do we have to give back? Guam or something? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:06:51 In 67, I mean, everything's here, right? 50 states and like the. That's what I mean. It's like we have. What are you talking about? We need to give back our borders. Our borders haven't changed since 1967. And we were in a civil uprising in the 60s.
Starting point is 01:07:07 1959, we added Hawaii. What are you talking about? And that was the 50th state. So I don't think that there's a, I mean, I don't know. And, you know, listen to what she had to say. What did she say? She said, there's this pastor who had a revelation who I believe. And it's like, isn't that like fucking I had a cousin once who worked for fucking Ford?
Starting point is 01:07:29 Yeah, exactly. You know, it's like, who fucking cares? She's just like, I had a cousin once who worked for Ford who said they made a hundred mile an hour, a hundred mile gallon car. And he worked for Ford. And so he knew. It's like, fucking, I don't know your cousin. Right. Your cousin could be lying to you!
Starting point is 01:07:46 Your cousin is lying to you. When anybody says they had a revelation, they're lying to you! And we've been at a civil uprising in this country ever since, on an increased scale. We have?
Starting point is 01:08:02 Yes, a civil uprising. Wow, this is like the, a civil uprising. Wow. This is like the most like calm civil uprising. It's very, it's, it's, it's like, it's like a sloth. Everything was really slowly. A lot of people ask me throughout the years, you know, do I believe he's the Antichrist? And my answer is no. But I absolutely believe because I do believe that the United States is...
Starting point is 01:08:34 The fuck are you? Anyone's asking you anything. ...tied to Israel spiritually, that we have a lot of spiritual connections and preludes and symbolisms, and I believe that he is our Antichrist. What does it even mean? It doesn't mean anything. I don't know why I asked that. Preludes.
Starting point is 01:08:49 What the fuck are you talking about? Preludes. It's like, well, we have Priuses. Well, it's like before you take your lewds, you take your preludes. He's clearly, he has a spirit of Antichrist operating in him. He is America's pharaoh. Which is, interestingly, the horse, American pharaoh, won the horse race Saturday. Another little sign to America. There's been many of them over the years since Obama's been in.
Starting point is 01:09:20 Yeah, they're real easy to pick out after the fact, it turns out. Yeah, you can just decide. When you look at prophecy in the reverse, it's fucking super easy to pick out after the fact it turns out yeah you can just decide when you when you look at prophecy in in the in the reverse it's fucking super easy to pick amazing how accurate it is gosh and nothing's wrong ever right nothing's ever wrong like the fucking all the other stuff that happens yeah that's not leading to anything it's only the little things that you pick out that you can see right that's the prophecy do you have to get a fucking license to go anomaly hunting like that you do yeah that's amazing yeah because he fucking clearly this guy's a man who's back at his limit you have to be a scientist that burns people at the stake in order
Starting point is 01:09:52 to do it yeah um so this man has uh he he has stoked the coals the fires of war every place it seems like the whole world is is on fire even even house speaker john boehner said it a month or two ago he said the world is on fire yes speaker boehner it is on fire and the man who's stoking the fires is in the white house this is a man with a demonic spirit operating in him yeah man what do you do with it yeah yeah yeah yeah what do you fucking do with that information what do you do with that cecil you you give him an exorcism and kill him you beat him with sticks until he dies you gotta call your you have him he's gonna be fucked how do you watch a fucking horse race and some horse wins a race and you're like ah the president's the devil and here comes president is a devil president he's coming around
Starting point is 01:10:55 the bed he's coming around the bed and rick wiles is in second here president is a devil wins he wins you would think that if god was desperate, like, because what he makes it sound like is that God is desperately sending signals down and, like, people are just not paying attention. Right. Why don't you send a more fucking clear signal rather than just like, well, did you see that I made a horse win a race that was bound to be won by horses? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Because no other animal was competing. It would be awesome if Obama won that race. Then I'd believe he's the devil, right? He's running like 40 miles an hour. Okay, you're the devil. Good. Fucking, you win, dude. You're the devil. You are clearly the devil. That's it.
Starting point is 01:11:37 And like he pops up on TV and like immediately like turns into the devil. He'd be like, okay. He transformed into a devil horse and then transformed back into himself and be like, you're the devil. He'd be like, okay. He transformed into a devil horse and then transformed back to himself. I'd be like, you're the devil. Clearly. All right. Clearly.
Starting point is 01:11:48 You're right. Rick Wiles. I apologize. Public apology to Rick Wiles right now. Obama was the devil. But if he does things that a president does and a horse runs a race that a horse is supposed to run, I'm not going to think he's the devil. And it's like,
Starting point is 01:12:06 why is the American Pharaoh in American Pharaoh 1? Why is he the American Pharaoh? You're an established point one. He's not even the American graffiti. So that's going to wrap it up for this week. We're going to leave you, as we always do, with the Skeptic's Creed.
