Starting point is 00:01:41 no welcome at this is episode 385. And see, so we are in the final countdown. Final countdown. On our way. No, no. No, you know, there's nobody needs to make. That's the worst theme music ever. Now it's in my head for the rest of my life.
Starting point is 00:02:01 It never goes away. That that hook stays with you. God, that's.-curlingly awful. That is dick-wiltingly terrible. You're not a big Final Countdown fan? Who even sings that song? Is that show even a show still? Oh, I thought...
Starting point is 00:02:14 There's a song called The Final Countdown. Oh, I thought it was a show. There's a song. Oh. It's an 80s song called The Final Countdown. I don't know who it's by. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought it was a TV show.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Like a music singing talk show. I'm sure it is. Reality gaming. I don't know who it's by. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought it was a TV show. Like a music singing talk show. I'm sure it is. Reality gaming. I'm sure it is. But the video for it is Europe. I can't play any of that on the show though. Oh, because it'll YouTube will flag us. So we just had a very funny conversation about Europe and their hair and the final countdown.
Starting point is 00:02:50 That hair is beautiful. The drain Wookiees that that hair would produce in the shower. You know, every one of those guys got their locks for love when they clipped it off. You know what I mean? Every single one of those guys helped the cancer patients. What does it cost to get a perm with that much hair? I know. That's a lot. That's the thing. Like, like I'm a guy with long hair, but I don't do anything to it, right? Like, so all I do is I just wash it and condition it and then brush it. That's all I do, right? But, like, you see these guys from the 80s. Do you do, like, a hundred strokes every morning? There's, like, a million fucking curlers in it
Starting point is 00:03:14 and then they got, like, fucking, it's frosted so they had to see somebody to do that work and I'm just like, fuck you. Any guy who sings in a band with a power ballad is the least tough guy possible. That's just true. And that includes Axl Rose.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Fuck you, Axl Rose. Oh, that guy's chubby now. Have you seen him? I remember like, no. Welcome to the donuts. Oh my goodness. Is he a fatty fat fat? He came out.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Yes, he's huge. He's enormified. He came out. He came running out at like a... Running or... That's exactly what happened. That's exactly out he came running out at uh like a running that's exactly what happened it's exactly come running out he's like jogging out and then he's like welcome to the jungle it's fucking amazing welcome to the jungle we got a cup of cakes well not so many anymore because i don't eat a cup of cakes. But Cecil,
Starting point is 00:04:10 we are actually on the countdown to our trip to Australia to go to the skepticon conference. I'm, I don't know, man, I'm crazy excited. I've got a list of things to get bitten by. Nice. So it's substantial.
Starting point is 00:04:20 It's pretty much all of the flora and fauna in all of Australia. And I, I, what I want to do first thing, I don't know if you've got a list of shit you want to do when you get there. I want to hug one of those gimpy, gimpy trees. Oh, that's a good stuff. That's what I want to do. I actually want to wipe my ass with one. I think that's what I want to do.
Starting point is 00:04:39 That's one of those ones that gives you paralysis, right? That's the tree that gives you paralysis. I think that's the one that's made out of like feminist fiberglass or something yeah like like it can go away for and then come back months later or something yeah it's like it's gonna hurt every time it's like it's like poison ivy if that was like we lived in a radioactive world it's like a fucking venereal disease of a tree yeah you know what I mean? It's like, it hurts when I piss or breathe. Australia's like a venereal disease of a country. That kind of fits, right?
Starting point is 00:05:09 That's rough, man. Well, it is. I mean, what? Nobody wanted it. The aboriginals did, but they killed them. They didn't want the, like,
Starting point is 00:05:18 they didn't want, like, the fucking colonialism that is Australia. Yeah, right. They were like, hey, can you send some colonies over here? Hey, can you send some colonies over here? Hey, can you send
Starting point is 00:05:26 your worst people over here? Or just, you know, it's so funny. It's like a lot of the people that got sent to Australia, I was doing a little reading on our, in advance of our trip
Starting point is 00:05:36 to do a Citation Needed episode that we're doing on ours. And like, you know, I guess I assume that the criminals that they sent to Australia would be the, you know, the worst of the worst,
Starting point is 00:05:44 the most troublesome bunch. Because they shipped them off to a fucking island really far away. Which I want to talk about that for a second too. But these are guys who stole a sheep. Really? Yeah. Wow. They didn't really do anything all that bad. They're just like,
Starting point is 00:06:00 I stole a biscuit. It's like, well, we're going to put you on a boat and we're going to transport you to Australia. How much would it cost to do that? It seems outrageous. It does seem outrageous. And then I think the idea is they transform to this island in the middle of nowhere
Starting point is 00:06:15 and it's a giant prison colony. We're like, let's be brutally honest here. This is garbage times. Why don't we just put them in a boat and then sink the boat? It's garbage times. It's not like you just put them in a boat and then sink the boat? It's garbage. It's not like you just put them on the garbage scowl and you sink the garbage scowl in the middle. I'm just saying this is not a time period in history
Starting point is 00:06:32 where human life was well valued. We don't have one of those rafts full of plastic out there. Just a raft full of bones. I just don't understand that at all. I don't get it. But I am looking. I'm crazy excited to go. I've always wanted understand that at all. I don't get it. But I am looking. I'm crazy excited to go. I've always wanted to go to Australia.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I've always wanted to wrestle a bull shark. It sounds amazing. Probably going to win. Not going to win. At all going to win. But it's in two weeks. So if you're going to be in Australia, you're going to be at Skepticon.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Let us know. We'll buy you a drink. We're looking forward to it. It's going to be a good time. Come find us. We have a live show in the afternoon on Saturday. We'll buy you a drink and we're looking forward to it. It's going to be a good time. Come find us. We have a live show in the afternoon on Saturday. Live show in the afternoon on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:07:07 We're going to have a morning show if Citation needed the next day. Yes, indeed. We'll be around for the whole thing. We'll be hanging out. So come find us and we'll have a drink. Allahu Akbar.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. let's talk about this story this comes from the independent.co.uk egyptian lawyer says it's a national duty to rape girls who wear revealing clothing like ripped jeans now i want to make sure that we don't misquote because sometimes and not so much for the independent. Right. But every now and again, you get a headline that's sensationalized. Here's what he said. Quote.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Are you happy when you see a girl walking down the street with half of her behind showing? And I read that and I thought, is that a rhetorical question? Because I don't know how the answer is. No, I don't understand. Are you happy when you see? Well, I guess the answer could be no. The answer could be no. It depends on that.
Starting point is 00:08:11 It absolutely could be no. But he says, instead of being amusing, he says, I say that when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to sexually harass her and a national duty to rape her. So that's the words he said out loud and meant them. Now, to be entirely fair, his comments have been pretty roundly denounced. What it says here, it says that his remarks have prompted fury across the country and Egypt's National Council for Women announced its plans to file a complaint
Starting point is 00:08:45 against the TV channel. It's also issued a plea to media outlets to refrain from providing a platform for individuals who make incendiary comments and incite violence against women. This deep platforming shit just has to stop. I just think, you know, it's one of those things.
Starting point is 00:08:59 You know, yeah, this guy just deserves to be able to, let's just make sure we have this contest of ideas, Tom. And I don't understand why we don't just want to hear this guy out. Well, we should definitely make sure that if he was invited somewhere, he's
Starting point is 00:09:14 still invited to that place. Absolutely. Even after saying it's your national duty. You're proud to be an Egyptian. Hold your hand over your heart to rape this girl. What, you know, what's the difference between your patriotic duty and your national duty? Like,
Starting point is 00:09:29 cause you might tell the paper use, I think afterwards. There you go. So, um, the comments come, it says the comments come after Egyptian capital of Cairo was last month branded as the most dangerous mega city for women in the first international poll, which looked how women fare in cities over 10 million people.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Another thing this idiot had said was he argued that if women become judges, they would also become muftis and a Muslim legal expert that would have the power to give rulings on league on religious issues. And he said, if we let a woman become a judge why shouldn't we let her become uh sheik of al-azhar i don't know what that means he says why shouldn't she become a mufti why don't we all just go to hell will she issue me a fatwa if she is menstruating these guys all treat women like a fucking a gas while somebody's smoking. You know what I mean? Like, they're just like, what would happen if there was a woman who happens to be bleeding from her vagina? What would she do to us? What on earth would she do to us?
Starting point is 00:10:32 It's just like, I don't know. The same things if she wasn't bleeding from her vagina. Like, I don't understand what the fucking problem is. It's so funny. It's like they say this shit as if it's like self-evident that the act of menstruating is going to make a woman like another creature. Like they fucking transform into some like bizarro subset of a human species. It's like they just expose their incredible ignorance whenever they do this. Like to the whole world that understands how biology works.
Starting point is 00:11:04 It's not when you're menstruating. It's the five days before you start menstruating. That's the problem. That is true. That's the, that's when, that's when you can't issue a fat law. That's when, that's when you can't even issue a, can you clean the fucking dishes? You know what I mean? Jesus. In other news, i'm getting divorced
Starting point is 00:11:25 you say to someone else you know i'd like to give a million dollars to god and they look at you and say wow what's the matter with you all right this is from cbs8.com uh and i love the way that they phrase this shit i love this is great it's not it's not a great story it's just it's just the way it's written it's so great. Christian College can't explain $20 million in expenses. Agency cites very sketchy budget. Hold on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:53 I think if you're missing $20 million, I'm working on my budget right now, right? For work. And I think if I was just like, I can't find $20 million. Could you imagine doing your
Starting point is 00:12:08 household budget and $6,000 is missing? Honey, where's $6,000? Where did that go? And then you're like, why? I bought a lot of porn this year. Yeah, I don't know. I guess I didn't keep a receipt.
Starting point is 00:12:23 I guess I made it rain way too many times at the strip club. I thought those were ones. I just don't know, like, how do you... And I was talking to you earlier about this.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I work in higher ed. So I recognize that there is now currently, higher ed is starting to feel a dip, a dip in enrollment. And it's not just feeling a dip in enrollment.
Starting point is 00:12:44 We're also feeling a hit from grants and things that are being pulled away. The government is not funding higher ed like you see. We're currently in a situation in higher ed that is a little bit tenuous. It's difficult. There's cuts being made at many different universities, departments, and I can only speak for the university that I work for. Uh, but the, the departments that earn are okay, but those departments that are not earning or that are losing, they are in trouble. They are in severe trouble. And so I can see where, you know, some people like when the housing market was on and people were getting like, you know, every, every weekend at the bar, they're getting $10,000 bottles of Cristal delivered to the table or whatever, you know, and money just keeps coming and it's coming and
Starting point is 00:13:28 it's coming. And then finally, you know, you hit a dry patch, right? And it's like, Oh, we've got to change how we run the business, et cetera. But in this case, it's not even like that, right? It's not even to the point where it's like, it's like, Oh, we just miss, you know, we just misappropriated some of this money and moved it around, or we spent too much on our students or whatever. In this case, it's just like, don't know what happened to it. Sorry, we just don't know. Did you check your desk drawer for $20 million? Look under the table.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Lift up that couch cushion in the dean's office. $20 million might have fallen out of his wallet. Is there a way to, I mean, $20 million is a lot of goddamn money. It's a lot of money. That's a lot of goddamn money. And the thing is, it's a Christian school and they're saying, even the students are saying like they promised us stuff like facilities and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Alright, so the chief financial officer for this Christian college in San Diego says he can't remember where the money went. I don't know, guys. He's the chief financial officer. His job is to know where the money went. Yeah. Oh no guys. He's the chief financial officer. His job is to know where the money's at. That's why the word financial is the second word in his title. He's not like, it's not like they asked like the Dean of arts. You know what I mean? It's not like they were like, Hey, Hey, Hey, by the way, Joe, the
Starting point is 00:14:42 custodian, do you know where that's what it's not? My mop bucket. I don't know. It's a chief financialist. Only job is to know where the money is. But the first thing, though, in his title now is unemployed. So unemployed is the first thing. Well, now he's squaw financial.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I was chief and he's been bumped down. Yeah, exactly. To brave financial officer or whatever. I don't think he changed gender. The Bible says they're going to eat their arms. The Bible says they're going to eat their babies. Then it says they're going to eat their children. That's what people do when they get hungry.
Starting point is 00:15:24 This is Strange Steve. The firing of Anthony. We're going to go with sarcophagus. This is Strange Steve. The firing of Anthony I'm going to go with sarcophagus. Scaramouche. That's what I said. Scaramouche. He can do the Fandango. He's a sign of Trump's deepening Christian faith. So let that one sink in. This is on, by the way, shockingly
Starting point is 00:15:40 the Jim Bakker show. Here we go. Lori and I are on the advisory council. We don't talk about that a whole lot. We're talking about it right now in front of everybody that ever listened to the show. Immediately flashed to a picture of them all. We don't. Look, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:15:58 I have an 11-inch penis. I don't talk about it very much. Anyway, here's my book. I have an 11-inch penis and a picture of my 11-inch penis. And I just texted all of you my penis. I have an 11-inch penis and a picture of my 11-inch penis. And I just texted all of you my penis. I dick-picked all of you. Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to hit this baseball
Starting point is 00:16:12 with a poke. Really? Really? Dude, just show off if you're going to show off. It's so funny because he's just like, I don't really talk about it. I don't really talk about it, but just showing you everybody. And I'm going to spend the next 25 seconds talking exclusively
Starting point is 00:16:27 about this, by the way. So many of us, and it's people like Billy Graham's daughter. Anne Graham Lotz. She's big. She's a big girl. Either that or Jim is shrinking. I'm not sure. Well, her name is just Anne Graham. The Lotz is just a descriptor.
Starting point is 00:16:46 He has so many pastors and preachers on his advisory boards. They're talking about Trump, by the way. They're saying he has so many preachers on his advisory boards. But then he'll stop and he'll say his spiritual advisory board. And it's like, well,
Starting point is 00:17:00 who else would you have on your spiritual advisory board? Physicists? He doesn't even have that on his fucking energy board. No shit. He doesn't have. He certainly, he had that fucking Chubby McChubberson who just stepped down for the agriculture. That guy.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Oh, yeah, yeah. Did you see that fucking rotund motherfucker? The guy whose chin is like strategically placed in between his two cheeks. It's sort of a floating chin. Did you see that guy? I guy? How big that guy is? He was a smart choice for the agriculture job because he's eaten an entire 4-H fair.
Starting point is 00:17:32 He ate the whole fair. He could grade himself. He could be like, I'm going to go Chuck because I think I'm marbled. I'm going to go grade a Chuck. I ate everything with a blue ribbon on it. What is his name? I don't remember. Oh, God. Everything with a blue ribbon.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I'll take one of everything in here with a blue ribbon on it. Just flossing with a blue ribbon after it's done. What the fuck is his name? Clovis. Clovin. Sam Clovis.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Yeah. God, what a terrible name. Spiritual advisory board that they all can't come to meet at one time. Dr. Don Colbert and Mary are on. Well, then there's too many people. If your spiritual advisory board is so chock full of you Yahoo ass idiots that he's clearly just manipulating in order for him to get for you guys to turn out votes and orchestrate his base. If there's so many of you guys, you can't put you all in a room for a meeting, then what
Starting point is 00:18:26 fucking good is that advisory council? Call in my advisors. I don't know. There's too many of them. Give me the good ones now and like A squad now and B squad later. Let's set them up into tracks. So we'll have the eight. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, we'll get A track.
Starting point is 00:18:42 And then Tuesday, Thursday, we'll get B track. I was going to say college prep, but it's not in their cards for these guys. I guess not. On the drive-thru board. Well, they go to a different meeting than we go to because the boards are so big. And it's growing. I mean, more and more and more and more and more. Listen, so this.
Starting point is 00:19:00 He just cuts around. She's just like more and more. He's just like, she's just going to keep saying more. I better stop her now. It's just to talk right over. It would be great. If she's just like more and more and more and more and more and more and more
Starting point is 00:19:20 and more and more, it's just keels over. Just talk to yourself right out of air. Oh, nobody stopped her. She's so used just keels over. Just talks to yourself right out of air. Oh, nobody stopped her. She's so used to being talked over. She didn't know her brain just went on repeat. The best part is
Starting point is 00:19:32 she's looking to the other side now. She looks like a joker. That is a woman who's had so much plastic surgery. Her skin has been stapled to the back of somebody else's head. There's a doctor with a knee on the back of her head, just pulling as tight as you can,
Starting point is 00:19:49 tying a knot back there. Just like, whatever. Give me my money. I don't care. She's the only woman walking around with two balloon knots. You can figure the back of her head. She started to look like a fucking guy with a fucking leather face at this point. Like she's wearing someone
Starting point is 00:20:08 else's face and you're just like, is that your head, Lori? Lori, is that yours? It's like you kind of want to be like, okay. I'm going to give you this. No wrinkles. Okay, that's a plus. Downside is you no longer look human. The downside is you look more feline
Starting point is 00:20:23 than human. You look like a naked cat. That's what you look like human. The downside is you look more feline than human. You look like a naked cat. That's what you look like. This is so interesting. And people say, how can you endorse Donald Trump as a Christian? Did you ever hear anybody ask you that question?
Starting point is 00:20:40 Well, they haven't asked that specific question, but... No. Nobody's ever asked that question. Why do we care? Who cares? Why would you endorse him, period? Let alone as a Christian. I know.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I know. You know, whether or not he's a Christian is between him and God. That's right. Well, it wasn't between God and Obama. Right. Exactly. Right. That's the thing, right?
Starting point is 00:21:02 It's not between Obama. It was, oh, his preacher's too black. Oh, he's a secret Muslim. It's like, well, he's not a Christian. He's not a Christian. You said that all the time. Right. It's not for all of us to judge him. Unless he's black.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Now, the thing is, we got a white guy now. And now we're not going to judge. We're not going to backseat drive the white guy. Let's just let the white guy do his thing because everybody knows he's a lot whiter than the black guy. The black guy was a little white too.
Starting point is 00:21:34 The best part is he says we're not going to judge him and then he'll launch into all the ways he's qualified, which is judging him. It's just approvingly judging him. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Right. Different way to judge. Right. Now you're telling me you've already judged him and you approve. Right. Yeah. Yes. There are things in his life,
Starting point is 00:21:53 you know, that we've talked about before that we don't approve of, but you, you don't. Well, like, like the, like the grabbing of the pussy.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Is that one of them? Right. Or the, the, the, how many marriages has this guy had at this point? Which I don't care, but these guys should be anti all that shit, right?
Starting point is 00:22:09 They're supposed to be. I would imagine divorce is outlawed in the Bible. Divorce is pretty clear. It's just as bad as a shitty document. That's all I'm saying. I'm just saying I'm pro-divorce. That's, I guess, my stance on that one. Don't hear those things in the last 10 years. And his language has improved. Wait, so he was a shitty person 10 years ago?
Starting point is 00:22:33 Yeah, but now their argument is that he's gotten a lot better. Well, there again, this is the forgiveness thing. They've forgiven him, and he's forgiven himself for grabbing so many pussies or whatever. And he's like, I've cut off my hand to spite my pussy grabbing hand. And it is like, we talked about before and we'll talk again. It's the forgiveness problem. Like, it doesn't matter how bad a person you are as long as you're like, yeah, but now I love Jesus. And that's, that's all of a sudden erased. Yeah. That's, that's,
Starting point is 00:22:59 that's, that's, and the thing is, is like, if somebody were to do some horrible shit that you would, you'd look at and be like, I don't know, man. Like you were saying that you sexually harassed girls and that you wound up going into dressing rooms to see naked girls without their permission. And you know, what the fuck, what's up with that? And then like 10 years later, like, nah, but I don't do that anymore. Well, yeah, you're fucking 72 years old. You couldn't get a hard on with fucking two people helping. But you did. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:30 But you did. Right. And it doesn't matter that you stopped. Like, I'm sorry, but like there's some shit that's just wrong. Yeah. And the fact that you're not doing it anymore doesn't make it okay. Doesn't make you an okay person. Like you just have to live sometimes with the fact that you've done
Starting point is 00:23:46 fucked up, and it's a stain on who you are. Prove better. And remember that guy that he appointed? Scaramucci? Oh, yes. Absolutely. That guy was appointed for 38 seconds. That guy was fucking awesome. That guy's the Fonz. He was the Fonz
Starting point is 00:24:04 of, okay, fucking suck my dick. Get one of those fucking reporters in here. I don's the Fonz. He was the Fonz of, okay, fucking suck my dick. Get one of those fucking reporters in here. I don't care which one. Get the old broad. The old broad is gonna fucking, she's gonna fucking retire next year. I want her to suck my dick. Right here. You, old lady. Yeah. No, the black one behind you.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Both of you, juggle my balls. Fucking suck my cock. That's what I want. That's actually tamer than what he said. I know, right? Like, this guy would have surprised me if he didn't stick an ice pick through the back of somebody's head. Or cut somebody up with an axe with a poncho on at some point. If he made it through his entire tenure without ice picking anybody, I'd be like, did not see that coming.
Starting point is 00:24:52 He's telling everybody that he just guys like I'm a fucking made guy now. Fucking forget about it. Hey, you fucking Ted Koppel. Go get your fucking shine box. Get your fucking shine box. This guy is awesome. I would have killed to have this guy in the fucking White House forever. Forever. I want everybody from this point on to just say, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:25:14 This is my guy. And he's their guy from now on. I want to hire this guy as a motivational speaker. I want this guy to book guests for us. He's going to call people. He's like, fucking Sam fucking Harris. I'll make you a fucking offer you cannot refuse. I'm going to put a fucking horse head next to you, you motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:25:35 It's fucking amazing, this guy. Fucking Scaramucci, man. Who had a quote and said some really vile things. Do you remember that? Yes, yes. He got rid of him. That's, yes. He got rid of them. Right. And he got rid of them, not because he thought those things were vile, but he got rid of them
Starting point is 00:25:51 because now he's in front of, there's a court of public opinion. Right. And when there's enough outrage, even Trump reacts. Yeah, at some point, the guy was so outrageous that even Trump was like, he reflects poorly on it. Exactly, right? He reflects, but even Trump was like, he reflects poorly on. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:26:06 He reflects. But the thing is, like, you're the president. You couldn't vet that guy. I know. What was that guy subtle somehow? He interviewed so well. I didn't expect it. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:26:16 He was fucking. He had a cannoli in his mouth. He was fucking slapping a hooker. We met over a pot of pigs. You know what i mean uh it was fine we were at the lickety split and we were uh you know putting some dollar bills into places he lit he lit a couple of fucking insurance fraud places on fire for me i thought he was a good guy i didn't know like seriously this guy there's no way this guy crushes it.
Starting point is 00:26:46 He's such a knob. What's so crazy is that guy's so fucking rich. Like Scaramucci is fucking rich. He's like a hedge fund guy or something. I don't know what he does, but he's like a super rich dude. Well, how do you get an attitude like that walking through life and you're not unbelievable?
Starting point is 00:27:01 Because everybody else would be like, well, this attitude is not working for me. Everybody else be like, well, this attitude is not working for me. Everybody else is like, no, fuck that. I can get fired. Yeah. Guy's worth $80 million. Oh, my God. The guy's fucking stupid rich.
Starting point is 00:27:13 The guy is fucking stupid. He didn't need that job. He did it because he fucking, what he wanted was, he wanted to be the big swinging dick in charge of something. Because guess what? In real life, that dude is a big swinging dick in charge of something. Because guess what? In real life, that dude is a big swinging dick in charge of something.
Starting point is 00:27:28 You know what I'm talking about? You know what I'm talking about? I'm an $80 million fucking not worth and not be in charge of something. That's insane. You can only speculate why, but my personal opinion is that that interview was part of it. But my speculation is the following. I love that shit.
Starting point is 00:27:43 We can only speculate, so allow me to do so. And wildly. And he just decided he didn't want his key people talking like that in public. Well, yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's what it's like. You don't want your key people to misrepresent you.
Starting point is 00:27:57 So if I hired anybody and they went out and was like, hey, it's a bunch of cocksucking motherfuckers. I'd be like, whoa, whoa. Fucking would you fire that guy? You're so fired. Fire that guy so fast his fucking head would fall off. I would hire his friends to fire them too. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:10 It's funny because what he's trying to say is, look, Trump is a changed person. Trump is a changed man. What he used to be was he used to be more vulgar. And in the last 10 years, he's changed. And now he is a changed person. He's a christian we we we recognize him because he has all these people around him that are christian and you're like just like you said though how the fuck did that scaramucci guy get through the fucking front
Starting point is 00:28:34 door then if he's a fucking changed man it's not the act of firing him that's a that's a it's it's the act that he hired him in the first place that That guy's not, that guy's fucking, he's an open book, man. I know, right? Pause and consider the very idea that what we're seeing now is the new and improved version of Trump. Yeah. Right? That he used to be a bad guy, but now the person we see every day, that's the improved version. What was the bad version?
Starting point is 00:29:03 What was the version that he has improved but what was the bad version what was the version that is that he has improved upon was he just was just eating babies all day fucking baby juice dripping down his fucking triple chins are you kidding me stuffing them in the full
Starting point is 00:29:19 I'm gonna bring this one with me when I go golfing I'm gonna eat it on the 18th hole I don't know why he sounds like that. I don't know either. Well, Tom, the swing is still in effect. I would go so far as to say that this show is in full swing.

You might as well. You can fuck twice as often.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Yeah. With juice. Right? Come on. Alright, this is Right Wing Watch. This is Sandy Rios. Calls to move forward together after New York City terror attack come from the communist playbook. Wait, what? Now, I tried online
Starting point is 00:31:14 to find a communist playbook. Oh, yeah. And I wasn't able to find one because that's a bullshit thing she made up. Communist playbook. This is great, though. See, we're going to do the Mark slant. What I want you to do is run forward. You're going to tackle his
Starting point is 00:31:30 capitalist. I don't even know his proletariat. All right. We're going to go in a hammer and sickle formation. I guess you would imagine that there would be the proletariat would be your offensive line. Right. And then you'd want to seize the means of production, which is all right. So that was CBS. And and of course the rest of the night the the mayor encouraged them to
Starting point is 00:31:50 continue with their halloween parade i saw which i think was great actually to be perfectly honest i think that was great they um there was a terrorist attack in the middle of new york or actually in the lower manhattan part of new York guy. Did you see how far he drove on? I did not know. So he drove like 20 some blocks on the fucking bike path. Holy fuck. He was fucking driving like 20 blocks. They showed a fucking visual of it.
Starting point is 00:32:13 I was like, holy shit, that guy was driving that far. And then he crashed into a bus, got out and got captured, got shot and got captured. But, um,
Starting point is 00:32:21 but fucking killed a bunch of people. Like they, it was, it was a fucking mess down there. And then they still were like, you know what? We're not going to close the parade down. We're still going to do the parade. And I think that's great, right?
Starting point is 00:32:32 You're doing something. You're showing somebody, look, you're not going to change our everyday life. No matter what you do, no matter how you attack us, we're still going to be the same group of people that we were. Well, isn't that the goal of a,
Starting point is 00:32:46 one of the many goals of a terror attack, right? It's to change, it's to fundamentally change something about the culture that you're attacking, right? Exactly. To create a culture of fear within the people that you're going after. Little shots of it this morning, and it just seemed, I made my piece yesterday. I said what I said about Halloween.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I saw men people marching in the parade with... I saw men people marching in the parade with some men. Men people. Oh, men people. Yeah, they're like mayor people, but with penises. Horror masks and blood dripping down and skulls. And I thought, you know. Yeah, it's Halloween. That's Halloween. Are we doing the Halloween
Starting point is 00:33:18 thing again? We're doing the thing where we're like, I'm scared of ghosts and darkness and monsters and ghouls. Are you fucking kidding me? This is Halloween. People dress scary and then they get candy. That's all of Halloween. Two things happen on Halloween. Women dress in naughty nurse outfits and stay home, hopefully, with me.
Starting point is 00:33:36 That sounds good. Or everybody dresses up and then they go out and get candy. Those are the two things that happen on Halloween. That's it. those are the two things that happen on Halloween what do you think about the the way in which some people dress up with gore and things like that like if you had your kids and you're walking down the street and you saw somebody in a costume that was really graphic not
Starting point is 00:33:56 graphic sexually but graphic violence like somebody who looked like they had a big like sword cutting their head in half or something like that what do you think about that as a parent? Yeah, I'm totally fine with it. Yeah, I'm totally fine with it. It's Halloween.
Starting point is 00:34:10 It's one day out of the year. I think it's campy and silly. I think if you have little kids that are going to be nervous about that, it's easy enough to cross the street. Like my little guy's three, right? Maybe he would be scared by that. I would just cross the street. Like I don't want to like ruin everybody's fun because my kid, once he's old enough,
Starting point is 00:34:24 will age into that. At least he'll age into where you can have a conversation and say it's all just silliness. It's costumes like your costume. It's just more elaborate. If you're scared of it, we'll walk away. When we walk up to, I went trick-or-treating and it was myself and Haley
Starting point is 00:34:40 and I don't know, half a dozen kids. I don't know how many there were, but the littlest one, there were some of the houses that he was a little scared of because they had like, you know, haunted houses. He was scared of them. Well, okay. So we just stood back a little bit. The end. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:34:55 Like, it's fine. Like, I don't know. It doesn't bother me at all. Like, it doesn't bother me at all because it's all part of the... It's part of the day. It's part of the festivities of the day. I don't think that personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with any of those things, but I don't have any kids. So I don't know what that reaction would be. Right. Cause I don't, I don't, I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to filter the world for my child. So I don't know what that feels like. Right. Yeah. But so let's
Starting point is 00:35:19 talk. I don't, I'm not either. You know what I mean? Like to some degree, I guess I am, but like, you know, there is, there is a point in time and it's, it's sooner rather than later with kids where kids have to adapt to the world. The world is not going to adapt to those kids. And so the job of parenting is not to say like, oh, I'm going to, I'm going to shield my kids from everything I can until the very last moment. And then all of a sudden the blinding light of the world is going to rush in upon them and they'll be exposed to the way things really are. You know, your goal as a parent is to expose them to the right things at the right times to hopefully know what those exposure levels are.
Starting point is 00:35:53 And that's going to vary kid by kid and issue by issue. Absolutely, yeah. You know, but like the goal for me at least is not to build a world where it's like, I don't want him to see this. What if he gets scared? I'm not scared of my kids crying. I'm not scared of them being nervous, oh, I don't want him. I don't want him to see that. What if he gets scared? I think I'm not scared of my kids crying. I'm not scared of them being nervous or afraid. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:36:08 I think that there is a, I mean, there's no reason to tell your kids the Jesus story unless you wanted to protect them, right? Right. You know what I mean? Like to protect them from the questions of death. You don't tell them that story unless you're trying to shelter them.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And so I think that this is just a natural extension of that, right? This, I don't like the gore. I don't like them that story unless you're trying to shelter them. And so I think that this is just a natural extension of that, right? This, I don't like the gore. I don't like the skulls. I don't like the blood dripping off of people. And the reason why is because you want to protect people from it. You don't want people to see it. But you want to censor these people and how they're dressing.
Starting point is 00:36:38 If I don't want to see somebody dressed up in a bunch of gory shit, I won't go out on Halloween. Yeah, it's easy. If I don't want to see that on television, I'll just change the channel. Like, I don't have to watch, you know, some, you know, gory movie if I don't want to watch it. I could just change the channel or not. That's the thing is that you have to seek it out.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Yeah, you have to go out and do these things. You have to go out and find something to be offended by. Yeah. And then be like, well, when I look for the thing that offends me, I found the offensive thing. I was titillated once I, you know. Yeah, when I was done jerking off to that. I was. And I was fucking sitting with my flaccid fucking dick in my hand.
Starting point is 00:37:13 I felt ashamed. All of a sudden, the shame rushed in and I deleted my browser history. I never deleted. You know, we've all been there. No. No. No. You know what I do?
Starting point is 00:37:22 Bookmark, motherfucker. Publish it. I shared a facebook the weirder i feel after the harder i hit bookmark that's so funny yeah there did i just share that's facebook please don't say i just shared that to facebook i don't want anybody to know about this one did you see the um porn hub april fool's prank on april 1st I think last year, when you went to Porn Hub's main page, it said like,
Starting point is 00:37:49 it had a thing pop up. It was like, you know, hope you enjoyed your video. We just shared it to your, you know, it had like Facebook and Twitter. That's so mean.
Starting point is 00:37:58 And then like it faded out. It was like, ah, you're just kidding. Here's some titties. And it's just like, ah, it's so great. Not quite right here. This is all just kidding. Here's some titties. It's just like, it's so great. Not quite right
Starting point is 00:38:06 here. This is all just wicked. It's just wicked. And so, you know, now we're free to march in the streets with blood dripping masks and carrying skulls. Yeah, on Halloween. That's the thing. That's what Halloween
Starting point is 00:38:22 is. It's not like they're doing this on like July 16th or something that would be weird right or if every Thursday we did it that'd be a little weird yeah but it's culturally fucking appropriate you kill joy
Starting point is 00:38:37 god she sounds like so little fun doesn't she that's the thing about Sandy Rios yeah she sounds like the least fun woman on earth so unfun it'd be ridiculous not a smile when you fuck her in the ass not even a grin what the mayor and the governor encouraged people to continue to do i just think they're missing the point and as i heard the governor of being scared they're supposed to be scared like the terrorists want them to but then they but then they wore masks and scared the other terrorists away yesterday cuomo he was he kept saying forward together forward together well that was i believe
Starting point is 00:39:11 an obama uh uh phrase and i think it's a phrase that comes out of uh the old again communist playbook forward together forward you know we're strong remember we've discussed we're boston strong we're new york strong man we're too tough uh, we've discussed we're Boston strong. We're New York strong. Man, we're too tough. Nothing to see here. Just move on. Just continue. It's really kind of bizarre. It doesn't mean there's nothing to see here.
Starting point is 00:39:33 It means it means in the face of adversity, we don't crumble. Right. Right. That's that is an affirmation of the strength of a people under pressure. What the fuck else would you do? Be like, oh, we're fucking totally not up for this. Yeah. Like, what's the other message? Well, I guess the other message is just sitting
Starting point is 00:39:49 in a hump or a clump in the corner just weeping. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, what are you supposed to do? And the idea of forward together, though, it's like, okay, they're words of encouragement. Maybe they're, maybe it's just empty words in some ways, too. Maybe they're just empty words, but, you know, some people may find those words to be encouraging. Okay, good. Well, I think it's just empty words in some ways, too. Maybe they're just empty words, but some people may find those words to be encouraging.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Okay, good. I think it's the together thing that she's saying is communist, right? But that's what a society is. It's like this desire for rampant independence is... That's not even the right word. Not independence. Individualism. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:26 This desire for like a sort of hyper individualism rather than any kind of idea that we can have a society where we do come together, where we do rally around a shared set of values. That's what a nation is, right?
Starting point is 00:40:43 A nation is nothing. It's not the land we happen to live in. It's not the fucking agriculture that we have. It is the shared values that we as a people have. That's what any group is. That's what any community is. It's what your family is. That's what your social circle are. That's what your workplace is. No matter how you expand it, it is a gathering of people that have some kind of shared purpose, some sort of shared set of values. This idea that it is threatening to our individualist spirit, our American individualist spirit, if we ever acknowledge that as a society, we'd like to work
Starting point is 00:41:17 together at something, is just fucking insane. But at the same side of their mouth, they're saying, how dare we go against the government? How dare we march against the government? What is wrong with us? We need to come together. They say that unity shit all the time. It's a message that they play both sides of, right?
Starting point is 00:41:37 When they're gathering for things that they don't like, then it's communist. When they are gathering to protest for, when you gather to protest for your individual rights, somehow that's no longer collected. Everybody has a way of interpreting them to be the truth or not true. There's no such thing, unfortunately, more a fact. All right, this is right wing watch.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Conservative communist Robert Mueller should be fired for indicting Paul Manafort. Huh. So this is a clip. Let's go ahead and listen to what she has to say. Nothing in this indictment against Manafort and Gates is something that could not have been handled by a regular prosecutor in the Department of Justice. So the chilling implication of this for all Americans is that if you get involved in politics, if you get involved, even as a volunteer in a presidential campaign, and there is a targeting, if the person that you support is unpopular for whatever reason, then you could be subjected to a investigation with almost unlimited resources.
Starting point is 00:42:43 So what? So what? So even if that were true, like, let's say I volunteered tomorrow and then somebody was like, we didn't like that you volunteered. We're going to investigate you. You wouldn't find anything. Yeah. I've broken no laws. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:53 It's, you know, like we've talked about this before, too. It's the skeletons in every closet idea. Right. Like there's there's a certain group of people. It's like, well, you know, there's skeletons in every closet. What if at all? Those are all people with skeletons in their closet. Exactly. We've talked about this. It's like, you could take
Starting point is 00:43:08 everything I've ever done, write it down on a piece of paper and publish it. And I'd be like, yeah, that's what I've done. The fucking end. I think that there's a lot more people that are just good people. Right. They're just good people. And this doesn't affect them at all. This idea that you're going to be like, look, they'll have unlimited
Starting point is 00:43:24 resources. Well, they're going to waste a lot of resources. Yeah. Because they didn't have any contact with Russia. Exactly. Because they didn't get contacted by Russia last week. It's so funny. It's like, well, you know, they've looked into it and then they found stuff. Now we're mad about that the stuff was
Starting point is 00:43:39 found. It's like, well, I don't know. Maybe don't have any stuff to find. Yeah. Maybe don't conspire against the United States. Right. But that's what investigations do. They investigate to discover if there's wrongdoing. That's their job as investigators. That's why the word investigate is the
Starting point is 00:43:56 first big piece of that word. All we have afterward is what the fuck their resources funds attorneys that are thrown at you to try and get the true target of the political operation. And I think that that should concern every American Democrat, Republican, independent, non-politically aware people. I've never been less worried about anything in my entire life. I couldn't imagine being less worried about that.
Starting point is 00:44:23 And the thing is, is like, here's the thing. They're not finding false stuff. If they were just making things up or accusing people of being communists or something, then we have something to worry about. But if they're just like, hey, we dug into all
Starting point is 00:44:37 your previous records and you were getting paid by somebody from another country and you were trying to influence this current election by volunteering in a volunteer capacity, paid by somebody from another country and you were trying to influence uh you know this per this current election by volunteering a volunteer capacity but it doesn't matter you're still trying to right influence the people on this side to get them to a table to talk about hillary well and let's let's be entirely fair too like i would have a problem if they investigated and found some unpaid traffic tickets and decided to make a big deal about that. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Or they investigated and they found out that like you cheated a little on your income taxes. And now we're going to audit you for the next, you know, like, yeah, I'd be like, yeah, that's fucked up. Right. That's fucked up. Right. That's clear persecution. Absolutely. That's fucked up. But that's not at all what's happening here.
Starting point is 00:45:19 It's not even remotely the case. So I'm not worried. Yeah. These are not trumped up charges trumped up that this is truly an abuse of power and ron rosenthal is supposed to be overseeing this investigation and he should have fired moeller yesterday when this indictment came out and if he couldn't have fired moeller for whatever personal reason he didn't want to do that he should oh they want him they want him fired because he's saying things he didn't want to do that. He should... Oh, they want him fired
Starting point is 00:45:45 because he's saying things they don't want to hear. I know, but it's like... You can't call for his ouster because he's found out stuff you don't want to listen to. Of course. You sound like a lunatic when you... You sound like, I'm hiding some stuff and I don't want
Starting point is 00:46:01 you to find it. This is tying a towel around your head when you're afraid of something. When you say, this is that. This is that. If I can't see it, it can't see me. Do you remember,
Starting point is 00:46:10 have you ever been like, when you're like a little kid and you get caught doing something and you're in the middle and you get caught and it's like, I wasn't doing anything. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:46:17 real fast, would you say like, I wasn't definitely doing that right now. Look the other way. Don't open it. Don't open the door, dad. Resign because he is not fulfilling his duty of overseeing the special counsel so that it does not become outside the
Starting point is 00:46:34 scope of what a special counsel investigation should be. It's investigating Russia. It's investigating contacts with Russia. And one were, one of them was charged with conspiracy against the United States. I think that's perfectly within scope of this investigation. Again, it's not like they went looking for his unpaid taxes or his, you know, traffic violations. It's not what they found. 12 counts of things. 12 counts of things. That's not one. Yeah. And some of these are very serious crimes. Well, of course, the plain truth is that Rosenstein
Starting point is 00:47:05 is up to his ears in the earlier investigation started by Mueller, the guy in question now, and then carried on by Comey of actually, not just collusion, not talking about it, but actually
Starting point is 00:47:22 selling 20% of our uranium to the Russians. Rosenstein's name is all over the documents that did that. The uranium thing again. And that's what Trump's been selling too. He's been trying to push people and be like, hey guys, the uranium thing, and I recognize
Starting point is 00:47:38 when this week, when these things came out, you had said, I think a good way to put this was not, this is not opening a door, but this might be a wedge to get the door open to see if there's something else that comes to this. But when they got Manafort and they got these other guys,
Starting point is 00:47:56 they got Gates and then Papadopoulos. I did not think that this was, this is not the kingdom coming down. No, not yet. I do think that it is, I'm hoping very much that this is the leading edge of an attack wedge, that this is not the kingdom coming down. No, not yet. I do think that it is. I'm hoping very much that this is the leading edge of an attack wedge,
Starting point is 00:48:09 that it is the opening salvo in a much larger set of charges. Now, this battlefield is rife with inaccuracy. You dead people, stop playing cards. And Stonewall Jackson, stop rollerblading.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Stonewall Jackson, stop rollerblading. The South will boogie again. This story is from CNN Politics. Kelly, this is crazy. Lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War. So he's talking about the monument scandal. Yeah. That's what he's referring to to. And here he is.
Starting point is 00:48:45 He's a, he's on a CNN. He's talking about it. Um, we're just going to play his clip. I would tell you that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man. He's an honorable man.
Starting point is 00:48:54 He's a slave owner, right? He's a slave owner who was the general for the piece of the country that tried to violently leave the traders, the trader side. Yeah. The losing trader side that wanted to violently leave the traders the trader side yeah the losing trader side this that wanted to protect slavery yeah yeah okay all right honorable honorable uh he was a man that uh gave like slaves yeah uh gave up his country to fight for his state which in which is being a traitor yeah which is traitorous only definitionally. 50 years ago was more important than country.
Starting point is 00:49:26 It was always loyalty to state first back in those days. Now it's different. It wasn't for several of those states, it turns out. Right, it wasn't for half of the northern. And it turns out that he wasn't actually fighting for his state because he joined another confederacy. Of states? That was another bunch of states. So a confederation of states, for example? There was two confederations of states that were fighting bunch of states. So a confederation of states,
Starting point is 00:49:45 for example? There was two confederations of states that were fighting against each other. One was the United States. It's almost like they tried to form a separate country made up of a series of states. That were already states in the other country.
Starting point is 00:49:57 What was their big wedge issue? I think it was something about... Was it states' rights, Tom? I think it was the states' rights to own other people. To own other people. Got it. Yeah, that was what the states
Starting point is 00:50:08 wanted the right to do. Some people disagree on that. Well, they're wrong and don't know what they're talking about. Today. But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War.
Starting point is 00:50:22 The compromise on what? You know, it's so weird because I thought that... What, the three-fifths compromise? Here we go. What are we talking about? Here we go. How do you compromise
Starting point is 00:50:31 on the issue of slavery? Like, what is the compromise? Here's the thing. I want to own you. Can we compromise and say you get one month off a year? How about if I don't own you, but I just set the minimum wage
Starting point is 00:50:47 at $750 an hour? Indefinitely. We're going to call you not slave. That's bad. We need a modifier. You still earn a wage. You could be a
Starting point is 00:51:01 something, something. Wage slave. Wage slave. Wage slave. Americaage slave. Wage slave. Yeah. America, make great again. This guy is talking about slavery as if there was no way to comp. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:51:16 That's like being like, you know, I want to compromise with people who like murder children. Well, it's like being a little pregnant. Yeah. Are we just going to own the ugly ones? Slavery is binary. Yeah. Right? It's either on or it's off.
Starting point is 00:51:29 There's no, there's no like in between where you'd be like, well, can't we just compromise and make sure that they're just not people? We did that anyway. What would the world look like with any compromise?
Starting point is 00:51:38 Like any compromise would look something like, you know, you can't own more than a certain number of slaves or, you know, you can only have one generation of slaves or you can only own people on monday wednesday friday on tuesday thursday they are freeze not free i don't know they gotta come back to the slaves next day i don't know what world would you want to build in where slavery was not abolished yeah do you know what i mean like any compromise means that slavery is not abolished. Do you know what I mean? Like, any compromise means that slavery is not
Starting point is 00:52:06 abolished. And the only way to deal with slavery is to recognize it as the inherently morally evil thing that it is and abolish and destroy it. What compromise would you have on that subject? Do we just elect a bunch of people
Starting point is 00:52:22 who are just like, yeah, we're kind of rethinking the slavery thing. Maybe it wasn't so bad. Doesn't it feel like that sometimes? It feels like that right now sometimes. Yeah. Right? It's like he's looking around and being like, yeah, it wasn't so bad for white people.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Yeah, no shit. Right? Yeah, no, they're fucking knocking it out of the park back then. I gotta say, being waited on hand and foot by a house slave does sound kind of nice. Well, yeah. If you're a racist and you want to own people because you're evil. Unbelievable. It's not human intelligence.
Starting point is 00:52:54 This story is from Newsweek. Is Alex Jones peddling lead-tainted sperm-killing products? Sperm-killing? I gotta say, if they are sperm-killing products, his fucking devotees should buy lots of these. I got to say if they are sperm killing products, his fucking devotees should buy lots of these. I mean, yes, 100%. I don't know that you could kill X Jones's sperm. They're probably bench press
Starting point is 00:53:13 like 250. I feel like all the steroids he does kills him anyway. Tiny little balls. I guess his back knee that he's rocking. Little shriveled little balls. But I guess toxic heavy metals have been found in the supplements that he sells on his website. So his website is chock full. If you go to Alex Jones InfoWare's website, his website is just chock full of all this crazy supplement garbage that he's hawking, right?
Starting point is 00:53:38 Yeah. And it's crazy too because this is all that quackery stuff. And it's all the quackery stuff that we've always pointed out in other people. Right. But he has the best audience for this stuff. I mean, he genuinely has. If you were going to sell fear of an organization in the doctors, like in medicine as an organization. You know, he's a guy who has people who watch him
Starting point is 00:54:05 who believe in chemtrails. They believe in second shooters at all different kinds of events. False flags. False flags. They believe in the JFK bullshit. They believe in all kinds. I'm talking about the JFK assassination
Starting point is 00:54:16 was assassinated by aliens or whatever the fuck they believe. All the goofy shit that they believe. These people are credulous and they line up for all the other stuff that he sells. So why not sell them one more conspiracy? Why not sell them one more conspiracy that all the doctors are out to get you? And that all you need is these supplements because all these other
Starting point is 00:54:34 doctors, they've seen cancer walk right out of people. They've had a cancer patient on their table and they've given them this fucking colloidal silver or whatever garbage you're going to sell them. And they got better. What better group of people to have as your audience to sell that? That's why the religious people do this stuff all the time when they sell that fucking get out of debt, free water and all that stuff. That's why the religious people fall for it. And that's why these people fall for it. It's because they are primed. They have primed this pump to feed these people this stuff. He's also a guy are primed. They have primed this pump to feed these people this stuff. He's also a guy who sells easy answers, right? You know, that's the wonderful thing about conspiracy theories is they're full of easy answers. They create a new narrative that is
Starting point is 00:55:16 in many ways more believable than somebody, we don't know why, just shot a lot of people. That's a really uncomfortable thing to think about, right? Why did it happen? We don't know why, just shot a lot of people. That's a really uncomfortable thing to think about, right? Why did it happen? We don't know why. What motivated them? We're not sure. Well, it's much more comforting in a lot of ways to believe, well, it was more than one person and this was their motivation and we know who they are. And at least because knowing is always more comforting than not knowing, right?
Starting point is 00:55:40 Easy answers to difficult problems are part of conspiracy theories appeal, right? Easy answers to difficult problems are part of conspiracy theories. Appeal, right? These products are the same thing. Oh man, I got, I'm always low on energy. I don't feel good on here. Take this thing, take, take two ounces of this magic fucking juice and you'll feel a little better. It's never, you don't feel good and you're always tired. You know what? You're 40 pounds overweight and you eat fucking Doritos every day. It's a lot harder to change that than it is just to take a pill or take a supplement or
Starting point is 00:56:12 juice instead of one of your meals a day. Right. So they want to sell the easy answer instead of the more challenging answer, right? Even if the more challenging answer in some cases is more accurate. It's like the same thing with cancer. It's shit like that. It's like, I thing with like cancer. It's shit like that. It's like,
Starting point is 00:56:26 I got cancer. That's sad. And maybe there's, maybe there's good treatment and maybe there's not. And you know, probably that answer is yes and no, depending on the type of cancer and when you caught it. You know,
Starting point is 00:56:36 it's complicated. It's not complicated if it's, here's some colloidal silver and it gets rid of it. Yeah. Or here's an alkaline diet or pee therapy from Brzezinski or whatever it was that he was giving people. Easy answers sell because they're comforting. And in this particular
Starting point is 00:56:52 case, he's got a group of people that are willing to buy all of his supplements that he's probably making a fucking killing on. He's got to be fucking raking it in. And they're finding lead in these supplements. Am in amounts that is like eight and nine times normal amount like of daily requirements like that daily requirements like
Starting point is 00:57:12 daily acceptable limits acceptable limits and the one thing that they did do though is they sent out this is like whatever the garbage is like we say like this is saint john's wart or this is you know seek help or whatever they didn't find that he's cheating people in that sense. Right. He's not, none of that stuff is coming. A lot of that stuff is coming back and just like, no, it's basically what he's saying it is. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Which some people don't even do. Right. There's some supplement companies out there that they say they're giving you St. John's wort and they're giving you like fucking hay or something. Yeah, they're giving you hay or, you know, fucking a little bit of spit in a bottle or whatever. Do you remember that story? We covered that and it was like they did a test of a bunch of
Starting point is 00:57:48 those supplements and they had none of the actual supplement in them. Some of them don't even include it. BuzzFeed did test them for this and they said that they did include that stuff, but it also included shit with a bunch of lead in it. Right. What I do feel bad is that these credulous folks,
Starting point is 00:58:04 they're buying this trying to feel good. Yeah. They're buying this trying to feel healthy, right? And they're being misled by somebody. And I don't want to blame
Starting point is 00:58:10 the victim here. No. You know, who I blame is Alex fucking Jones. Sure. 100% Alex Jones. It's evil. It's mean-spirited
Starting point is 00:58:18 and it's cynical. He knows his audience. He knows this is just a heaping bag of garbage that he's selling. He knows that what this is is a a profit margin and have nothing else. And he's selling it and he's preying on people who just want to feel well. That's all they want. They've ever been sick, like sick, sick people. They're the most vulnerable people. They are. They're absolutely vulnerable because they're
Starting point is 00:58:40 stuck in, they're stuck in a situation that might be very bleak for them. Right. And so they're stuck in they're stuck in a situation that might be very bleak for them right and so they're vulnerable they're influenced they're easily influenced it's a bad situation to be in it's not their fault you are watching the beginning and the birth of the new world order and you want to call me crazy, go to hell. Call me crazy all you want. So this story comes from Media Matters. Now, this isn't Alex Jones. This is an Alex Jones stand-in.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I guess Alex Jones was bench-pressing or something. Reporter for Alex Jones' InfoWars says, Hitler is alive and the U.S. government is covering it up. Huh. Okay. Well, reporter Owen Scherer is the guest host. Wow. Welcome in to the Alex Jones Show, folks. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Here we are. So much news, and the news is so big, and the news is so frequent. The news is frequent? What a goofy fucking thing to say. The news is frequent. Yeah, if you have a daily news show, you're going to go out and find new things
Starting point is 00:59:49 for the news. Biggest news every day becomes a back page story the next day. Because you said it the day before. That's how that works. And you don't want to say this like, it's not you to go to the editor and be like, remember that story we ran yesterday? I say we just run that fucking thing again
Starting point is 01:00:06 maybe you can get a you can get a full weeks run out of like a 9-11 right it's not like the news is a fucking variety clip show and you're just like I don't know what we do Thursday do that one again that was playing the same clip over and over again it's not like the toaster shake and
Starting point is 01:00:21 the Las Vegas masker cover-up there was no cover-up he doesn't know shrugs his shoulders he made it yeah he made that up so nothing yeah what would you report there's no news but we don't know yeah there was a cover-up there doesn't seem to be any evidence there's no evidence of a cover-up seems like a one guy and nobody really knows why he did it they're hiding the real truth by not. And that is sad. And that is sad. And it's one of those things that we look at and we go, fuck, man, I wish
Starting point is 01:00:49 I knew why. Yeah. Why did somebody snap like that? Maybe we could prevent it. Yeah. You know? I know. I mean, it's in our nature to understand why. You know? It's in our nature to say, like, this terrible chain of events occurred and I want to understand what goes wrong in the human machine that causes this to occur and it sucks sometimes we don't get
Starting point is 01:01:09 to know and it sucks to be the person to be like man i wish i knew but i don't yeah but you don't okay that's it yeah sometimes we don't know everything yeah the jfk files being declassified hitler still alive what hitler is still. How old would Hitler be right now? When was Hitler born? Adolf Hitler was born April 20th, 1889. He's 128 years old.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Spry the motherfucker. Ah! It's like kill me God. me oh could you i was fucking still what a stupid hillary is still alive what a stupid thing to say and the reason why they're saying this tom is because somebody found in one of the one of the jfk documents that was released at least i thought i saw this this week somebody had found a comment about hit Hitler being alive after the war
Starting point is 01:02:06 and that there was a cover-up, but it was a comment by just some random jamoke that happened to be cataloged in the JFK file that really wasn't like by like, it wasn't like JFK before he died, turned to fucking somebody who's like, guess how you know Hitler's alive. And then he gets shot or something.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Yeah, and then the next moment, his fucking throat is in the front seat oh god it's just i i i'm amazed that those jew hearts kept him along for so alive for so long god he just i expected a few extra years don't get me wrong you gotta fresh squeeze them that's the key he's got like one of those like orange juicing machines like the little little boobies on them. You know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got the reamer in it. It's like a zester.
Starting point is 01:02:50 It's a reamer. There you go. I'm going to ream that Jew heart. Live forever. Tell you what. It's funny, too, because these JFK files got released last week, was it? I think last week, yeah. And I remember seeing a reddit thread and the reddit
Starting point is 01:03:05 thread basically was like any bombs in any big revelation that anybody's finding in these in these jfk files that got released and there was one or two things that were interesting but right underneath was a comment that was basically like yeah you misunderstand that document you misunderstood that that document wasn't a person of like that has any authority saying that that was just like a testimony of some random person or somebody got interviewed and everything gets put in. Exactly. Yeah. And so there's a bunch of this stuff that,
Starting point is 01:03:33 that came out like three or four things, but most of them were just, all you had to do was read the second comment. You'd be like, Oh, okay, well that's nothing. Then there was nothing.
Starting point is 01:03:40 There was nothing that nobody was like, Oh, this proves anything after it all got released. I was just like, yeah, nobody died. There was no, no hubbub after it was nothing. There was nothing. Nobody was like, oh, this proves anything. After it all got released, I was just like, yeah, nobody. There was no hubbub after it was done. They just released the files and nobody cared. Because it's uninteresting information. It happened 50 fucking years ago. At some point, it's like, yeah, all right.
Starting point is 01:03:58 He died. The dude died a fucking half a century ago. Half a century ago. And it happened how they said it happened. Right. All the history textbooks we lied to us. I was lied to my entire life about JFK. I'm lying to you right now.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Was he Hitler? Knowingly by my government. I was lied to my entire life about Hitler. Knowingly by my government. And that's just a non-story now. Because you've got another radical truck running people down in the streets. Folks, I'm Owen Troyer filling in for Alex Jones today, but do not be afraid because we have a ton of great guests today. We will be hearing from Alex Jones in the next segment. And then
Starting point is 01:04:36 David Knight will be joining me in studio. Paul Joseph Watson will be Skyping in from his basement. From his mom's basement, from Europe, where the trucks are out of control in Europe, folks. We got to do something about these trucks before they make it here. We don't have trucks. No, those trucks,
Starting point is 01:04:56 the trucks are out of control in Europe. And then they have the big floaty tires and they're just going to come over. Next year. Sometime. Fuck. Somebody stopped the trucks. America! Somebody stop the trucks. America's made out of trucks. Just lead them into the doldrums and they'll just be stuck
Starting point is 01:05:09 there. We're made in time. We put balls on our trucks. Bring those fuckers over here. We'll put nuts on them. We'll strap a fucking gun rack to the back of that thing. We'll have seven American flags. Fucking chrome balls on there. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:05:25 We got to stop those trucks before they make it to America. What are you talking about? There's a lot of trucks here. We don't need to import trucks. What a stupid fucking thing to say. We're built for trucks. We export trucks.

Starting point is 01:06:52 to the family soon. We're not going to talk about it yet, but we are going to... We don't want to get people sending in resumes yet. Right. But we are going to add
Starting point is 01:07:01 another employee when we get back in December. Sharpen your pencils for me. Keep them sharp. We're not asking for resumes yet, though. We're going to do a little bit of email here. We got an image for a donkey with a hat on from Amrit, and we're going
Starting point is 01:07:15 to put it on this week's show notes. Exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted the sombrero hat, and I got it. I wanted the dirty secretary, and I got that on Pornhub. We got a message. I love this. This is from Darcy and Darcy sent us this image.
Starting point is 01:07:33 It's not really an image. It's a news story about a hipster nativity scene and the images on here, we'll put a link on this week's show and it's hilarious. The mom and dad taking a selfie with their baby. Mom's got a cup of Starbucks. Dad's just got a fucking hipster beard.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Yeah. Barefoot. And then there's three. The three wise men are on Segways and they have Amazon boxes under their arms. And a fedora. It's fucking awesome. So check it out. We'll put it on this week's show notes.
Starting point is 01:08:04 This is episode 385. Somebody sent a whiskeyora. It's fucking awesome. So check it out. We'll put it on this week's show notes. This is episode 385. Somebody sent a whiskey sent us this. This is a website we're going to put on this week's show notes. It's called True Size Of. And so you can select one of the countries on the map. We're talking about the size of Africa. And you can
Starting point is 01:08:20 select one of the countries on the map. There's three of them that are out there. There's China. There's India, and there's the United States. And you can move them. And as you move them farther down toward the poles, they get larger as they move down to sort of show the true size of what the country actually is, the farther down away from the equator they are. And so to represent it easier on a globe. And so when you move the countries around, especially the United States,
Starting point is 01:08:55 it totally fits in the top part of Africa. It easily fits in the half of Africa. Yeah, up in the top part. And then if you position these right, India can fit down at the bottom, and then China basically takes up the rest of it. You could have those three countries and they fit in Africa, no problem. We're going to put a link on this week's show notes
Starting point is 01:09:14 so you can play around with it. We got a question. This is from Theo and he says, what canned food can you eat right out of the can and be shamelessly satisfied or fucking privately satisfied? What canned food can you eat directly out?
Starting point is 01:09:31 And I know exactly what I'm going to say. Well, I want to hear yours first. Jellied cranberries. The cranberry sauce right out of the can. Oh, yeah? You like that stuff? You can eat it right out of the can. You can?
Starting point is 01:09:40 Do you like that stuff? I like it. Sure, I like it. I haven't had that since I was... As soon as I found out you could make your own, it was so easy. Yeah. I made my own because I remember like... My? I like it. Sure. I like it. I haven't had that since I was, I've made, as soon as I found out you could make your own, it was so easy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:46 I made my own. Cause I remember like my dad hated that shit. But I remember at Thanksgiving, which is coming up, like I remember my aunt like, like plopping it out and slicing it on the plate. And I remember it had the ridges of the can still like embedded in it and everything.
Starting point is 01:10:00 And I remember being like, ah, it doesn't, that didn't appeal to me, but it tastes fine. I'm sure. It's the easiest thing in the world to make. I love it., that didn't appeal to me, but it tastes fine, I'm sure. It's the easiest thing in the world to make. I love it. And it is super easy to make,
Starting point is 01:10:09 but you got to go buy cranberries and stuff and that stuff just comes in a can. Put it in the fridge for a little while, take it out, open the can up and it's perfect right out of the can. Is it really? I love it.
Starting point is 01:10:19 I think it's great. I think it's great. Maybe I'll serve it. I don't know. So I haven't had anything. I haven't eaten a food straight out of a can. And I don't even remember how long. But I will say when I was a kid, this is disgusting.
Starting point is 01:10:32 When I was a kid, and I mean, this is up until I was 15 or 16. Dinty Moore beef stew. Yeah. I would open that. It's fucking looks and smells like dog food. Yeah. But because it's dog food. It is dog food.
Starting point is 01:10:43 Let's be brutally honest. It is dog food. It is dog food. I would eat that dog food out Yeah. But, and because it's dog food, it's just, let's be, let's be brutally honest. It is dog food. It is dog food. I would eat that dog food out of the fucking can. I used to. Same thing with, like the,
Starting point is 01:10:52 the canned peaches and like the canned like. Yeah. Any kind of, the thing is about fruits and vegetables and things like that is they are picked right
Starting point is 01:11:00 when they are ripe and then they're put in cans. And so some of that, like I think canned corn is very good. I think it's excellent corn. So certain vegetables and things, I don't think, I mean, it almost feels like I'm cheating by saying cranberry sauce, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:11:14 Because they're picked at the height of the season and they're cooked into this thing and then they have the gelatin added or whatever and then they're put into this can. So they're cooked and processed right away. So I almost feel like you're cheating at that point. You gotta have something like you, right? where you're saying like didn't anymore nobody would fucking eat that nobody's gonna go out of the way for me when i was a kid it was the raviolis
Starting point is 01:11:32 it was chef boyardee ravioli i used to love them i had them maybe seven or eight years ago i saw them and i bought them i bought a can they're disgusting they are so fucking horrifyingly terrible it is uh it is shocking how bad they are i had god this isn't the way back machine but maybe like 15 years ago or so something came over me and i was like i'm gonna try spaghettios again they had to be so bad you can't know you cannot know you're right i can't i never liked spaghettios when i was a kid i can't know. You cannot know. You're right. I can't. I never liked SpaghettiOs when I was a kid. So I can't imagine. The little meatballs in there. Oh my God. The little meatballs are like, they're like
Starting point is 01:12:12 testicles. They're so they're just like you, I plurped it out because that's what it does. It does. It plurps. Absolutely. That's the perfect word for it. And I looked at it and I smelled it. I was like, I'm still going to try it. And I warmed it up in the microwave because it's garbage food. So I warmed it up in the microwave and then I was like,
Starting point is 01:12:30 here we go down the hatch. It tastes like, it tastes like noodles that have been boiled till they quit. Like till they're just like, fuck it. We're not even noodles. That's the thing is that they, that everything is cooked so badly and for so long. It're just like fuck it we're not even noodles that's the thing is that they that everything is cooked so badly yeah and for so long it's just like it's it's impossible to enjoy
Starting point is 01:12:50 and that's how that's what i felt about those raviolis because you cut into it and you're like okay that i remember when i was a kid i'd be like oh man the fucking meat raviolis you eat that shit out of them i take one bite out of it i'm like it tastes like somebody filled it doesn't taste like meat it tastes like meat substitute yeah and it's like and it tastes like somebody filled. It doesn't taste like meat. It tastes like meat substitute. Yeah. And it's like, and it's in this gross fucking wrapper thing that like, it's supposed to be a pasta, but it's, it's long since lost all semblance of pasta. It's now like a gluten bag. And you're just like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:19 That's not very good. So send us when you were a kid, what things did you, if you ate things out of a can, what was your thing of choice? And if you had the horrible experience that Tom and I had with it later on in life, send us a message and let us know what your thing was. Yeah. I swear those, the SpaghettiOs were basically like Cheerio shaped boogers. They're disgusting.
Starting point is 01:13:40 They were amazingly bad. It's disgusting. Got an image from Aaron. I love this. We're going to put it on this week's show notes. It's a Trump image. So check it out. Great job.
Starting point is 01:13:47 385. Tom, we got a message, pretty heartfelt message from Greg. Yeah. So Greg was relating a story, just kind of a sad story and a personal story. I don't want to go through too much of it. But I'm just saying that, you know, it's a big deal when you teach kids that magic and reality blend together. It's a really big deal and it's problematic. deal when you teach kids that magic and reality blend together. It's a really big deal
Starting point is 01:14:05 and it's problematic. I totally agree. What I really want to read from his email is the PS. He's talking about a wake that he had attended. He says, at the wake, after my diplomacy failed, I reminded the priest that the money he passes on from collection plates every week buys houses in Spain
Starting point is 01:14:21 for rapists of children. Somehow, I came off as the asshole. I wasn't the one who bought a house for a rapist. That's great. Keep your head up, Greg. We got a bunch of people who donated money to the charity
Starting point is 01:14:37 It Gets Better. It Gets Better Project. Remember that if you go to last week's show notes, 384, donate and send us proof we are going to match up to $2,000 we're coming close to that goal but we'd love it if a few more people would donate so we can get up close
Starting point is 01:14:52 to it we're about like right now we're at about $1,200 we'd like to see a little bit more money come in so we can match that $2,000 of our money to go to it gets better we think that you know a good $4,000 is a nice round number to help that project out. It's such a worthwhile cause.
Starting point is 01:15:07 It's a great, worthwhile project. We got a message from Ryan and Ryan said that he was listening to us on a radio setup and he must have pressed a button, turned on AM Christian radio, and he's completely confused. After a while,
Starting point is 01:15:18 we didn't cut in to the Christian radio host with a dick joke. He's like sitting there listening to 20 Minutes. He's like, they're really waiting a long time before they go. Really letting them go. Yeah. We got lazy.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Now we're just playing. Now we're just playing it. Yeah. We got a great message from Adam. And Adam says that if we don't die in Australia from all the horrible things that can attack us and kill us, he's going to donate $500 to a charity of our choice. How awesome is that? That's really great. Thank you so much. We'll let you know what it is when we
Starting point is 01:15:48 do the next Vulgarity for Charity is what we'll do. So I want to talk real quick. He gives us some shit that can kill us when we're over there. I think Cecil, you and I should just pick something off of this list to try to get... Yeah, right. Okay. And you know, I got to tell you, my favorite one...
Starting point is 01:16:04 My favorite one on here is the con because only in Australia could even have this. The common death adder. Oh yeah. Yeah. How do you have a death adder? That's like, I don't know which death adder is it?
Starting point is 01:16:15 Oh, that's just the regular one. That's not a special death adder. That's the common. Oh, it's just the normal everyday run of the mill death adder. So many things. There's so many things. It's so ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:16:27 The smooth toadfish. The fuck? There's a whole bunch of stuff. Highland copperhead. Bunch of snakes. You got to go looking for some of this stuff, I think. Giant centipede. Those things are fucking huge.
Starting point is 01:16:39 You seen those things? No. Oh, my God. They're like as big as your foot. What? Fucking enormous. What? Yeah, big motherfuckers
Starting point is 01:16:45 oh yeah that's a lot like that number two is the honeybee i'm glad i'm just staying and fucking in uh in a fucking hotel the whole time that sounds great to me just got a message uh this is from bob and bob uh just started listening to the show and one of the things he was wondering about was our stance on uh not giving any quarter to racists. He said, you know, how is this different than if you were to withhold services from an LGBT person or if you were to discriminate against somebody if they were atheist? And one of the things that we've talked about many times on this show is that an LGBT person is someone who we believe should be a protected class. They're not in all states, but they are in some states, a protected class. LGBT, being somebody who's in the LGBT community means that you did not choose your sexuality. It's an orientation,
Starting point is 01:17:37 but it is not something that you decided. There was no determination to decide it. So you can't give it up. You can't be like, well, I want to give that up. And so for things you can't choose, like skin color, gender, your sexual orientation, those things don't, you don't get to discriminate against those things. But you can not be a racist. You can just not be a racist. And that's perfectly fine. Yeah. And two of the challenges in this email I want to address, the first is whether or not
Starting point is 01:18:03 those people should be, because I said I'd fire those people. If I found out somebody had marched in some racist march that worked for me, I'd fire them. I stand behind that 100%. I stand behind that because this is somebody that's got to represent me and my company and work with the people in my building. So if I know somebody is a racist and they have to deal with a vendor or they have to deal with a client and that client happens to be somebody of color, how do I know that they're then going to represent my company in a way that's not racist?
Starting point is 01:18:29 Yeah. Right? I don't. I think now that they harbor an ideology which will influence their ability to make good decisions, right, within my company. I also would be concerned that they would make people within my company that they are racist toward people of color uncomfortable. And then I also would worry that my customers would find out that I employ a racist and stop doing business with me.
Starting point is 01:18:51 So I have an HR issue with my internal people. I have an issue potentially with the quality of their work in terms of how they'll interface with vendors and clients. And I have an issue with revenue production. So all of those things would be problematic for me. He also says, you know, what about free speech? Well, free speech and consequences are not the same thing. Free speech is the government can't tell you what to do. These guys can go out and be racist.
Starting point is 01:19:14 I'm not saying don't, if you're a racist and you want to shout it from the rooftop, go ahead and shout it from the rooftop. I am not infringing upon your right to do that in any way by saying, okay, but when I find out what your speech is, I will react to your speech. Reacting to someone's speech is not violating their free speech. They're still allowed to say it. I get to fire them on Tuesday, and they can still go out on Wednesday and march into March, and they can stand on the street corner and yell whatever hateful shit they want to have. They can have a conference with speakers and they can do all that. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:19:49 There's nothing that's going to stop them from that. Their freedom of speech has not changed one iota. All that has happened is that the inevitable consequences to their ideology have reached them. In this email, it's like, what measure do you hold one human being as being worthless as? Well, I don't know that this person is worthless, but they're certainly not welcome.
Starting point is 01:20:12 Yeah. Right? I don't need to make room in my life for people that have this set of beliefs. I don't make, and I think that's entirely fair. We choose our friends, right? We choose, we are very picky and choosy about who we have in our life.
Starting point is 01:20:28 We don't have just the six first people we met today in our lives. We're always picking and choosing people who feel similarly about the world and how to navigate it as us. So it's entirely fair to do this. Yeah, I don't see any problem with making sure the people around you are good people. And I don't see the problem with that at all. I find those views abhorrent. I find those views awful. And if a person like the guy
Starting point is 01:20:56 who was praised by Obama and Hillary Clinton, who was a KKK guy who renounced it all and said, I'm real sorry. If I met a racist that was not a racist anymore, that was like, man, I'm fucking done with racism. I was a shitty, awful person. I wouldn't hold that against them at all. Right. I wouldn't either. And that's not the same thing as we've talked about forgiveness before.
Starting point is 01:21:14 That's not the same thing. That's changing your mind. It's not, it's no longer holding. Now, it would be different if I found out like, that dude stomped somebody to death. Okay, fucking little, little fucking black church on fire or something. If somebody had a bad set of ideas and they no longer hold that bad
Starting point is 01:21:30 set of ideas, great. Who you are today matters, right? The set of ideas and values that you hold at the time that we meet, that matters. That's what I'm going to say. Okay, that's cool. But your actions also matter. If there's shit that you've done, some things in my personal dealings with people, there's no takesies-backsies on some shit.
Starting point is 01:21:48 Sure, yeah, yeah. All right, so that's going to wrap it up for this week. We're going to leave you, like we always do, with the Skeptic's Creed. Credulity is not a virtue.
