Cognitive Dissonance - Episode 447: Baby, It's Cold Outside

Episode Date: December 17, 2018

Stories from the Week  

This episode of Cognitive Dissonance is brought to you by our patrons. You fucking rock. Hey guys, I was just listening to your most recent episode where the firefighter prophet says that there are secret messages, demonic witches sending messages across the Twitter space to get Donald Trump assassinated. I just want to point out something really quick. I'm fascinated. And I just want to point out something really quick.

So Lee Harvey Oswald was the white man who shot JFK. The men who shot MLK were white men. All of the shootings that have basically happened in 2018 that were big mass shootings are white men. So to follow this man's thought process, in order to not have a conversation about what you guys said is the real cause of these murders, racism, and misogyny, he's pretending that there are some witches on the internet secretly mind-controlling white men into doing demonic activities like assassinating presidents and people in nightclubs.

So this is how far we've come. I just, I mean, can you guys believe where we're at? Glory Hall. Hey, Tom and Cecil, love to show you guys. I was just listening to episode 444, where you guys were listening to the recording of that one witches thing from a news article. I just wanted to comment on the fact that that one lady said, coming out of the broom closet,

I'm actually a gay woman, and I think that is honestly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Aside from the Salem witch trials and shit maybe 400 years ago, you know, at the Catholic Church, I really don't think my experience and being a witch on Instagram is exactly comparable. Anyway, Gloria Holt, bye. 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 live from Glory Hole Studios in Chicago.

This is Cognitive Distance. 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 at this episode 447.

Buddy, we are reunited. It feels so good. It feels so good. You just got back from the land of the ice and snow. You've been in Reykjavik in Iceland. Hammer of the gods. Just hanging out, doing some fucking thawing or whatever happens up that way. Been there mountain, which is called Eflikaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokaflokafl Everything is cold up there, isn't it? Yeah, that's how you say hamburger. I love, Cecil, that you went on vacation in the winter to winter.

You were like... Winter to winter. It's funny because it's not much colder than it is here. No? No, it's about the same. It sucks here too, man. Oh, yeah. Don't get me wrong.

I would not... Hey, if you're thinking about a trip to Chicago, don't right now. It's a bad... don't do that. Yeah, right? Anytime something's cheap, there's probably a good reason for that. Discount neurosurgeon? Maybe not your best call.

Maybe that's something you don't want to deal on. He's moving your eyes, touching your brain, moving your arm. He's like, but I can move around. Yeah, it was fun. We had a good time. Iceland is a beautiful country Yeah, it was fun. We had a good time. Iceland is a beautiful country and with amazing people, we had a great time. I had a really fun time there. Well, we're back for a break, which you didn't experience, but we did.

That was great. I was exhausted from not doing any work from this show. I know. I am happy to be back. So not busy. Can you imagine being even not busier than I was not busy before when I'm busy? That's amazing.

Oh, the sleeps I can sleep. Put you in cryo freeze for the week. Actually, what happened is you walked out of the studio and I just froze in place here. You're like a TV. I just got stuck. I couldn't run.. It started back up

again. Did anything happen while I was gone? How would I know? I wouldn't be a part of it. How would I know? I'd wait for you to get back and deal with it. Anything happen with the Trump presidency while I was gone?

Oh my God. Do you want to talk a little bit about that a little bit. Just a little bit about that. Just to see how it feels. Michael Cohen is guilty. Michael Cohen is guilty. Three years is the suggested sentence. And like immediately subsequent to that, AMI Holdings, Pecker over

AMI Holdings. Dick Pecker. Is that a saying? If your last name is Pecker, don't you have to name your kid Richard? You gotta change your first name to Dick.'t you have to name it richard you gotta change your first so you have to yeah or wang you can i mean like how do you introduce somebody's like i'm mr pecker stroke really that's a formal cock i'm stumped oh my god mr pecker had a stroke really had more than i don't know how to and then he threw up everywhere. There's some candy striper. Like I'm not going in there.

You can't fool me with that shit again. Not in the me too generation. You can't get me on that one again. Hashtag. No, absolutely not. That's my hashtag. No.

So, uh, AMI holdings, which is basically the national inquire. So, um, is run by a pecker. That's not surprising.

It's National Enquirer. We always thought they were a bunch of cocks. So they evidently, it's a pretty brilliant strategy. Evidently, they've been buying up all of the controversy around Trump. They're good friends. They share the private jet and zip around and they're buddy-buddy.

And so whenever there's a scandal, he's like, I'll just go buy the story with a nondisclosure from somebody and I'll hold it in my pocket and never publish it. And it's actually a really good strategy. Smart, smart. You know,

like that way you can have as much scandal as you want and then they sell it to a media outlet who agrees never to do anything to it. As long as those people agree to those exorbitant prices, which they were. So $150,000 was paid to a Playboy model

whose name I forget. Do you remember it? I don't know. Candy Bottoms. Chesty LaRue. Busty Sinclair. I don't know. Hootie McBoo. One of them. That's a Simpsons reference. Licorice Labia. I don't know.

And now, you know, AMI Holdings has basically said, look, I don't want any part of this withholding information about campaign finance law violations. Yeah, sure. Yeah. So what we're going to do instead of withhold this information is we're going to turn all of it over to federal investigators and cooperate fully in exchange for immunity. And Mueller's been wanking one out to that all week. Man, you know, at the same time that Russian spy also pled guilty. What's her name?

Being a spy. Maria something or other. Karina Karamova or something. And there was something interesting in her thing. I read and I wasn't, I'm not real clear still on the details, but basically like they were using the NRA. Did you see this? They were using the NRA as an information conduit to get, to pass

information between the Russian Federation and, you know, members of the conservative party using the NRA is an information conduit to get, to pass information between the Russian Federation and, you know, members of the conservative party using the NRA. I thought this, I was like, oh, it's so hard right now. Could we take down? Is it possible? Is it possible to take down the NRA?

The NRA could fold? Could we hurt the, oh my God. Yeah, it's all, it's all falling into place. I just walked around just fucking humping the air. I was so excited. Just fucking dry humping the air. Before you so excited. Just fucking dry humping the earth. Before you said air, I was like, don't Donald Trump. I don't have $150,000, but you do have a flaccid beat.

Yeah. but it was, is the Cohen thing has been, you know, it's so funny because I was listening to the reports and there's all this talk of him getting up there and choking up while he's like, Oh, today I'm finally free. I'm free of all the worry that's been on my family's mind.

And I'm free because I'm no longer just lying for Donald Trump and I was just so enthralled with Donald Trump that I had to just lie for him. Like, you are just singing because you don't want to go to jail. Yeah, it's just go fuck yourself, dude. This is that like remorse after you got caught

shit. This is that fucking crying Jimmy Swagger. Right. Bullshit. Right. It's like, you know when I felt bad, as soon as I got caught. As soon as I got caught. Because read his fucking tweets, man. Read those tweets when he's like taunting the government and being like, go fuck yourself. No collusion, blah, blah, blah. He was, you know, he was trying to hide his tracks the other way before.

No fucks given until all of a sudden it's like, well, you're in trouble. Well, now I have the fucks to give. You didn't give a shit. You just don't want to be in trouble. It's just kind of sickening when you watch it. It's so cowardly. And the other thing, too, is like, you know all of these fuckers were in on it. They're just only flipping because they have to.

Right. None of these people have a fucking single moral thread. All they do is just flip because they don't want a long prison sentence. And I, all they do is just flip because they fucking, they don't want a long prison sentence. And like, I don't think anyone is fooled by the false remorse.

I don't think anyone gives a shit about it. Yeah. To be honest. Yeah. I think at the end of the day, if he was just like, look,

here's the information I have, let's trade. Yeah. You know, do you feel bad? Who gives a shit about my feelings? You want to have to talk

about fucking feelings? What are we going to trade LOL dolls when we're done with this? Fuck your feelings. Here's the information I have. But there's this weird theater that has to go on when they sentence them that, you know, there's all these reporters in there that are writing every word.

All that masturbatory, remorseful bullshit is all just, it's just theater, like you said. It's just camera fodder. None of it means anything. Like, if somebody did me wrong and then they felt sorry, I'd be like, I literally can't imagine caring about how you anything. If somebody did me wrong and then they felt sorry, I'd be like, I literally can't imagine caring about how you feel. If you do me wrong, I don't care

about your feeling. What the fuck is wrong with you in that equation? That is literally the dumbest thing you can say to somebody that you wrong. It's the most narcissistic way to approach it. You hurt me. Well, I feel bad about it. Oh, really? Tell me more about

your feelings. Care at all. The entire thing, though, it really feels like it's starting to, the noose is starting to tighten. Today, first, Russian pleads guilty to this, actually.

And then, you know, you see all the other things that are starting to fall into place cohen you know you see a pattern of deception there's definitely a pattern and you know there's also you know like what what the the the language that's been used that was used around watergate the unindicted co-conspirator talk they're starting to talk about that like with trump so you know we're gonna see where this goes but you, we have had a suspicion that this was the case for a very long time. I'll tell you what, it's not buddy. Boring. Every morning, it's not boring. Every morning I wake up and I go to Flipboard and I read the news every single morning and I'm like,

something crazy happened. I always, I, every morning I power up my iPad, I drink my cafefe, and I just read No Collusion. Is it a smocking gun? The smocking gun was amazing. It's where you shoot smocks on people. It's like a t-shirt gun, but it just shoots like 70s frocks or something. Oh, now I can paint like Bob Ross. I got a smock. I got a smock. I got a smock on.

It's like a big weird apron with stains on it already. I'm just going to go ahead and put a happy little jail cell over here. Happy little jail cell. My smocking gun. It's amazing.

All right. Well, let's get fucking sad about some shit. This story comes from LGBTQ Nation. Is it still LGBTQ? Isn't it supposed to be LGBTQA? Did they change the designation so it includes all the letters? Or something?

There's an A. It's just after the N. Okay, fair enough. Trump quietly shuts down HIV cure research to appease the religious right. I read this and I thought like, yeah, man. How much does this feel like when w came in office and was like stem cells but i'm from texas you know like yeah exactly like texas we're too rich to need stem cells or whatever they're they're they'll

they'll electrocute a mentally handicapped person totally not cool with any stem cells. Yeah. Yeah. So like, you know, it's funny because I've been reading, I read a handful of articles about HIV this week. And I guess this is probably old news for a lot of people.

It wasn't for me. But, you know, we're getting closer and closer to a cure. The treatment protocols, I was shocked to realize just in the past 10 years when I was reading that they've gone from a cocktail of pills to a single pill. Yeah. the treatment protocols. I was shocked to realize just in the past 10 years when I was reading that

they've gone from a cocktail of pills to a single pill. Yeah. A single pill with almost no side effects. Do you know how they did that? No. Those fucking ribbons you put on your car. I thought they were useful. That's how it does it.

God damn. If you put enough ribbons, what is it? What ribbon is the HIV? What is the AIDS ribbon? It's actually just made of needles and gay penises. You just called it the gay plague on our podcast, you asshole. No, I also called it the needle plague, too.

It's gays and needles. No heterosexuals ever got it. No, none of the good ones. They were good. They wouldn't have AIDS. It's a whole thing. You would just read something. One of the articles,

one of the parts of this article where they're talking about what they do, the reason why they use these stem cells, which first off, it's like, well, is there any way to like, so we can't use these aborted because it's the abortion, right? It's donated abortion.

So a woman will have an abortion and they donate it. Is there any way we can get to women's houses really quickly with a jar during a miscarriage? What can we do to continue the research? But one of the things that they do is they take, I don't't know well you know tougher word work time in a pinch i imagine like this mayonnaise jar with a fucking you're just going you're going to the kid in the kid into the in the refrigerator honey is this lasagna what is this well whatever you don't put it in the why are you looking at me like that i've eaten the leftovers so what oh Oh, not again! Twice this year! Twice this year!

Label the things in the fridge! Okay. This Tupperware is only for miscarriages from now on. It's the one with the lid that's a little wonky and doesn't actually fit. We're only going to use this Tupperware. We're using the shitty Tupperware from Ikea that melted

a little in the dishwasher. It's got the stuck-on mac and cheese on the side that you could never get off of there. The moment one time you put it in there, you'll never get it off. We put red sauce in it and heated it up in the same container. It's just that's it. And now we'll just keep putting red sauce in it. But in any case. Well, I miscarried on a Sunday

So it's Sunday gravy It's this whole thing It's a spicy meatball Well the guy was Italian So it's fine Miscarried talks with its hands It's weird Anyway

Okay Ma'am We really appreciate The miscarried fetus The bay leaf was a nice touch That you put in there A little satchel of spices Look at that Okay, ma'am, we really appreciate the miscarried fetus. The bay leaf was a nice touch that you put in there. A little setch of spices in the side there. Look at that. How nice.

But what they do with the fetal tissue, I guess, is they... Curades? They give it to mice and turn them into human... They make the mice, make them a better analog. Yeah. Basically. And a better analog humans.

And the first thing that popped in my head is, okay, let's say we can't use the aborted tissue anymore. Sure. Can we just set up a fucking place to make the mice across the border and still continue the research and just do them. Just buy the mice. You just buy like human immunodeficient mice or whatever.

Right. Like, is there, and I don't know if that's the case because again, one of the things I don't know is how you would quality control those mice. Right. Because that might be one of the major issues is the reason why the scientists do it themselves is so that they know that they can quality

control the mice with the, you know, human, the human embryo juice, but with the juicy stuff. But yeah, but I, but I with the, you know, human, the human embryo juice, but with the juicy stuff. But yeah, but I, but I think I, you know, the first thing that's on my head is like, is there any way to just circumvent this? Cause this is a really important thing.

Cause otherwise that research is just going to go to another country. Yeah. Well, it's, it, I, I'm fine if it goes to another country and then we cure AIDS there. Like, I don't care where we cure AIDS, cure it on the fucking Aleutian Island. You know what I mean? Like, but But this idea that we can't cure a horrible disease

because somebody feels squeamish about how we use something that already fucking happened. I feel squeamish about people dying. I feel squeamish about people getting fucking AIDS. That's what I feel squeamish about. I feel squeamish about people fucking wasting away and dying of a horrible disease

when they didn't fucking have to like that's the thing that like we should get worked up about not like oh I got fucking mice who had a baby smoothie or whatever like I don't give a shit fucking cult mice and whatever I don't care if you roast them alive with a flamethrower

that'd be a little weird I don't know how it would curate, so I guess maybe I'd care. What if it did curate, though? Then let's do it! There's an unlimited number of mice I'm willing to sacrifice for that. Literally true. But it's interesting because this is

kind of a double whammy, right? On the one hand, they don't want to cure AIDS because they didn't want you having sex in the first place. Right. And then they also don't want to use the fetal. Yeah. Right. And then the other part is they don't want to use the fetal tissue, Tom, because they didn't want you having sex in the first place. And the ways in which you prevent. I mean, that makes everybody that doesn't want to be having sex in the first place. The ways in which you prevent this is you prevent HIV and pregnancies through sex education and contraception.

Yeah. That's how you prevent those things. But guess what? They didn't want you having sex in the first place. Yeah. Because this is all about abstinence only. That's what this whole thing is. It all just distills down into abstinence only.

Yeah. Well, I mean, it's sex shame, right? That's it. It's just like. All we want you to do is not do it. Right. That's it. And if you get HIV, that's your fucking fault. If you get an abortion, that's your goddamn fault. And we're never going to give you any of the tools to stop.

Yeah. But that's only, I think that's only partially true. What they want is they don't want women to have sex. You're right. You're right. They want men to have sex with women, but they don't want women to have sex. And if they do have sex, they shouldn't enjoy the sex.

That's for sure. And it certainly should be consequence. It should have consequence. Yeah, you should then, you should be labeled as a whore and you should get diseases and, you know, that's your fault and blah, blah, blah.

It's like their world makes no sense. In the name of Jesus, we speak that. I'm high on believing Oh my god, this is fucking crazy. So I gotta read some parts of this. This is from the Progressive Secular Humanist blog over at Patheos. Bishop Donald Sanborn. This is him claiming that immodest dress

of women causes sexual assault. Immodest needs? We should start that charity. Where it's just like Creflo Dollar posts up there like, I got some immodest needs? We should start that charity. Where it's just like Creflo Dollar posts up there like, I got some immodest needs. Is there any way anyone could buy me a new Jaguar? So here's the thing. I need a mink coat that lives inside a bigger mink coat.

It's a kilo of coke to sprinkle over this hooker's ass. It's a big ass. It's an immodest need. I got to numb that thing up for what i'm gonna do to it i also have to pep it up because it's not going to be into it all right so i want to read so that so we don't make any uh you know assumptions this is from his post verite means truth i think um he says it is in his blog, Verite, which means truth, I think. He says in his blog, he says, it is true that the conduct of some men is deplorable in this regard.

He's talking about sexual assault. But it is also true that the conduct of some women is deplorable as well. There were bad actors on both sides of the sexual assault. There's also very fine people on both sides of the sexual assault, Tom. Scroll down. The trend began over 100 years ago.

Prior to that, by the way, there was no sexual assault. Did you know that? I didn't. Yeah. A little known fact he made up. Yeah. And gained momentum in World War I.

Before the war, for example, women covered their entire bodies with clothing. After the war, the hemlines came up and the necklines came down. The thing that he's missing here is that all of that buttoned up till the fucking brim

started in the Victorian era, which is in the 1800s. And we know from the way that women are treated in countries where they're covered fucking head to toe. Doesn't matter. Literally doesn't matter. Dress has nothing to do with it. But it also is just historically inaccurate because he's basically making it sound like, since the beginning

of time, women have been in these body bags and then they just finally unzipped it and men were like, I gotta fuck it! So, but that's just not true. It's just not true. It also completely invalidates any indigenous people's experience, right? I was gonna bring that up.

Look at any indigenous culture throughout experience. I was going to bring it up. Look at any indigenous culture throughout most of all time. That's not Western. The ones that currently exist, like the Papua New Guinea, big parts of Africa, those guys in that island that shot that Christian guy with arrows recently.

He fought in the shade that day, didn't he? They're not actually so funny because it's on this article look at it they're like wearing nothing they're like wearing nothing because it's hot out exactly yeah it's hot and why would you wear it and then like all those pictures they used to jerk off to inertial geographic with the girls with the nanner titties

like all those girls never wore a single top ever in their entire life. I'd like, I love it like this. This would mean like, oh man, we should really look

at the Amish community for a pillar of non-sexual assault. Yeah, right. Yeah, right, right, right. Epidemic. So blah, blah, blah, after the war. The 1960s produced

a sexual revolution unheard of in the history of the world, which in turn caused a revolution in family life from which we are still reeling. What that means is, is that women's took back some rights. And that is that the reason why you're still reeling is because you don't like women having

rights. Right. And like, that's it. That's all that. The pill drove that. Exactly. Contraception drove that because all of a sudden it's like, oh, I can have sex for recreation. I can have sex with a reduced set of consequences.

Just like all the dudes could forever. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So that is okay. Well, anyway, up to about 1965, most women were married, not divorced, had five or six children. I love it.

It's focusing on the women. Yeah. Because then also just be most people were married, right? Sure. Because they had to be married to somebody. Anyway, not divorced, had five or six children, at times more, and were devoted to their homes. With the appearance of the birth

control pill in the 60s, the role and attitudes of women would change radically, and with these changes, family life would suffer immeasurably. Yeah, if you don't count the women in the family! Sure. Right? Yeah. Yeah, family life would suffer. Probably not according to the women who now had more sexual and personal autonomy. Yeah. And also like, like this, what's the benefit? Why is this a good, like where most women were married, not divorced and had like, I, I never understood like the not divorced part. It's like fucking, if you, you're not enjoying your life, where the fuck are you staying married? Like, it doesn't even make any sense.

And these people use divorce all the time. They get divorced all the time. That happens constantly. Religious people constantly get divorced all the time. It's absolutely a sin. It's just about as sin as an adultery or gay sex with your cousin or whatever the fuck other stuff is in that book. But you notice how little they

rail on divorce politically, right? They have the same theological issues with divorce, but it's like, yeah, but everybody still wants that option. Look, I don't care who you are. Everybody wants the option, right? Even if you're fucking thrilled in your marriage, even if you have the greatest marriage of

all time, it's like, yeah, but if it goes tits up, I need to be able to fucking jettison out of that thing. My perspectives at 19 might be very different than my perspectives at 39. Right. That just happened. That did happen. You know?

Alright, so in other words, he says, the effect of all this revolution in sexual mores, as well as the role of women, is that men and women have been thrown together into situations which are very dangerous. Women are daily interacting with men in the workplace. That's the place that's dangerous, right? In many cases, they are dressed in such a way

as to be immodestly attractive to men. The inevitable result is that unless the men in the office are very vigilant about the virtue of chastity and fidelity to their wives, some very bad things take place. In other words, dudes can't help it. Because we're just. Men are rape machines.

We're rape machines. In this also is the message to women. Hide. Hide in your house. Hide in your clothes. Hide under your kids. Hide behind your husband. Hide.

Always be hiding. Hide away from your job. You cannot ever be safe. Men are going to rape you if you show them your ankle. My God. We are just. Or they don't. them your ankle. My God, we are just... Or they don't. Like you said,

in fucking plenty of countries where they don't. Because it's not true. That's the problem, right? Because none of that's true. Literally all you can see is their eyes. You know, there's some places

you can't even see the eyes. There's like a fucking fog machine they carry around with themselves. It's just fucking constantly coming out of it like Godzilla. It's amazing that that is a message in 2018 that anybody would fucking say out loud yeah um he says mostly assaults upon women are seen in show business what no an environment which that's just not even true which is notably

loose and never known for its observance of chastity and fidelity well i thought it was politicians doing this with stuff I didn't think it was everybody. Like, did he not, like, read a Me Too once? Like, it's like the whole thing was like, yes, Me Too. It happens to a lot of women. It's the words in Me Too.

Me Too. Also, Me. I don't know. Like, do we need another hashtag? Hey, idiot. Also, hand up. Yeah. Most of the, quote, victim, end quote, ladies in these cases look like lascivious women and probably did much to cause the assault. Why is anybody turning to the Catholic Church to adjudicate issues on sexual mores? These are a bunch of ch chased baby rapers.

Like, this is not a group of people that has experience in male-female sexual power dynamics, male-female relationships, male-female anything. They don't know anything from experience at all because they're not allowed to have any experiences. They don't know what it's like to go to a workplace that's like a regular person workplace. They don't know what it's like to live a life

that's like a regular person life. Nobody should listen to these people ever about anything. workplace that's like a regular person workplace. They don't know what it's like to live a life that's like a regular person life. Nobody should listen to these people ever about anything. They don't have a regular person life. Everything is taken care of for them, man. Unless your question is, how should I swing this canister of incense? Yeah. How should I wave this thing around? How should I

smack this fucking coffin with fucking water? Right. Then, yeah. I mean, if I needed to know what type of cloth I needed to wipe a coffin, a holy water from a coffin, I would ask a priest. Because they might know. They might know how not to ruin the finish

on the way to the grave. Yeah, that's a good call. Although that's two finishes by the way. Double finish. It's already done. All right. And for the United States of America to put the power of the federal government and all of its money and resources behind this transgender movement, it is just nothing short of insanity. This story is from MyFox8.

High school teacher in Virginia fired for refusing to call transgender student male pronouns. This is very much what it sounds like. And I think the point I wanted to make here is that in this story, I'll relate it to you. In this story, it sounds like the teacher genuinely slipped up. Like a thing happened and he used the wrong pronoun. But then when he was confronted on it, rather than saying the easiest thing to say is sorry. Oh, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. Please accept my apology. That was just 100% my mistake.

I'm sorry. It's over. It's over. Instead, what he said was, you can't make me do it. Yeah. You can't make me do it. And they're like, we can make you fired. Yeah. Even in Virginia. Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, we can make you fired. Yeah.

Even in Virginia. Yeah. Yeah. And they did. They made this guy fired. And he's just like, well, but Jesus wants me to call the person the wrong pronoun,

which is weird because he's like, he's like, look, here's the thing. I am not going to call them the wrong pronoun, but I will use their new name. Yeah. Which is weird to me.

Cause it, and then he's like pointing to God and we're like, what is, is God so soon? God's like, no pro is pro is way better than proper. I'm just saying pro is it's like you have the pro you have the, you have the amateur wrestling and then you have pro wrestling and pro wrestling is way better. Cause he got Jimmy super fly snooker coming off.

It's just better. But seriously, like the reason he had already started using the name. Yeah, I know. He was already using the name over and over and over again. And he had said

like at one point, so it says here, it says, he's a bus driver. He was a bus driver. The school's first girl soccer coach. And in the process of earning a master's degree, he's a husband and. He was a bus driver, the school's first girl soccer coach. And in the process of earning a master's degree,

he's a husband and sole wage earner. This is all in the article. Yeah. Sole wage provider to his family, including four young children. And I'm just like, glad he thought that a pronoun was worth more than his kids fucking eating a food.

You know, it's so funny you say that because like the article, it's a Fox article, right? So they paint this guy as, man, what a good guy he is. And all he did was slip up, but he didn't slip up

because it says in the article that he slipped up and then he doubled down on it. Right? That's the important part. You know, it's interesting. I had a sensitivity training this week, a gender

and privilege sensitivity training this week that I went through. Yeah. So are minorities going to be more sensitive to us now? I hope so. God, I hope so. Really?

I am sick of them pointing out my privilege. It just makes me crazy. It makes me crazy. First of all, that's just rude. It makes me crazy. Stop filming me when I'm calling you the N-word too, by the way. Come on. That's super rude.

That's just going to get out. I didn't give you my permission to film. Look, if that's not one of my privileges to be privileged in secret, what good are all these privileges? I'm okay with you filming me when I call you the N-word. I just want you to make my voice like that.

And then you got to black out my face. Wait, no, don't do that. Okay, forget it. Forget it. I don't want to. Yeah, no, I don't want to do that. But one of the things that they did, first off, they mentioned exactly what you said, which is during the gender sensitivity, there was a non-conforming gender identity person who was teaching it,

which I'm not sure what the difference between non-conforming gender identity and non-binary is. I genuinely don't know what the difference is. I, I, but, but I'm not, I'm not. No. And the thing is, I didn't. I'm just shaking my head saying.

There wasn't time to ask. I don't know either, man. But I just, and I didn't get a chance to ask. The thing is, is I was, I was like, okay, they gave a big long lecture on it. And one of the things that they said was, if you screw up, apologize and just move on. The person wants to move on just as much as you do.

They don't want to dwell on it either. And it was exactly what you said. It's just move the fuck on. Yeah, the thing is like, I think in life you're allowed to make a lot of mistakes. And if you make mistakes with good intentions and then you own your errors and say, that was, you know what?

I just fucked up. I'm sorry. I will try not to fuck up again. Yeah. That was my mistake. And I genuinely feel almost everybody is receptive to that. It just stops. It just stops.

Yeah. Right? So one of the things that we did was we did this portion of the workshop where they handed out this piece of paper. And on the piece of paper, it says, this is the cisgender privilege market. Below are some cisgender privileges. As a group,

please choose which privileges you would like to buy if given the option. And basically, each privilege costs, it doesn't matter. Basically, we got to choose five of these privileges.

Other tables got to choose 10. It depends on the table. And so some, it was a very interesting process because you got a chance to read some of the privileges that you had. And then you also got a chance to see what ones are really, you know,

people sort of created the hierarchy of. And then it also sort of makes you think too, you know, those are the ones we should be addressing as soon as possible. You know what I mean? Like as a society. So I want to read a few of these off. Do you want me to pick some?

You know what I'm thinking? The audience should pick some and send them to us. So I'm going to read some of these off. Do you want me to pick some? You know what I'm thinking? The audience should pick some and send them to us. So I'm going to read some of these off. All right. Not being judged based on how well you pass. Not having to come out to someone. Not having strangers ask what your real name slash birth name is and assuming that they have the right to call you by that name.

Having people use the correct pronouns. The absence of worry and anxiety about finding a bathroom. The feeling safe in a locker room. Being able to use showers at public pools and gyms. Being considered a part of the queer, being considered a part of queer without having to justify to the heterosexual and queer people alike. Not being excluded from the LGBTQIA movement. Not having strangers assume that they can ask you what your genitals look like. My God. What? Who does that? Who's? Who's? Just like, look, I just want to know what your genitals look like. My God. Who does that?

Who's just like, look, I just want to know what your genitals look like. I've never wondered. Well, I can't say I've never wondered that, but I never asked that. I mean, I've asked that, but we've got to get to know each other first. We've had a drink at least.

So, what are your genitals like? Your genitals. Are they roomy? Pretty much. Cause like, did you get them? Cause to me, all genitals are roomy.

Not having strangers assume that they can ask you, okay, I already said. Strangers not asking how you have sex or how you feel pleasure. If you end up

in the emergency room, not worrying that your gender will keep you from receiving appropriate treatment. I don't know how that actually interacts. I don't understand how that works, but I, it's listed here, but I don't understand it.

Um, and that again shows my privilege, right? That's absolutely, I don't even have to understand. I don't even, I don't, I don't have to understand.

I have the privilege of not, yeah, yeah, right. Of not even knowing. When you go to the hospital, not having all your medical issues be seen as a product of your gender.

Not having burdensome costs associated with changing legal documents. Having health insurance that doesn't specifically preclude you from receiving benefits or treatments available to others. Again, I don't understand what that means. I don't know what that means based on this. I don't understand what that means. I don't know what that means based on this. I don't know how that works.

When you express your internal identities in daily life, not being considered mentally ill by the medical establishment under gender dysphoria, having multiple TV role models, being able to find role models, period. The ability to adopt children. The ability to be affectionate with someone else in public. Freely being able to discuss your relationship with others. Raising children without worrying about people rejecting your children because of

your gender identity. When you are promoted at your job, not being subjected to scrutiny because of your gender identity. Having people correctly assume your gender. Speaking from your own experience and not being asked to speak for an entire population. That's an interesting one. That's an interesting one, isn't it? Yeah.

Not having to disclose or explain your gender identity. Not dealing with the societal expectations that you will champion your cause. Have others educate themselves about you and not be expected to be an expert on an entire population. Not having a fear of losing family or loved ones. Being employed as a preschool or elementary school teacher without people assuming you will corrupt the children, raising children without worrying about the state intervention, having others

comfort you when a relationship ends, being a foster parent, being able to discuss and have access to multiple family planning options, not questioning normalcy both sexually and culturally, and finally, and finally receiving validation from your religious community. Well, I mean, that's all. Isn't that a lot of your life? That's a lot. Isn't that a lot of your life? That's legitimately a lot of things. That's a lot of your life. A lot. So I know that that's a lot to take in for the audience to hear. But what ones would you buy? And I'll tell you what our group bought. Our group bought, I'm only going to list four. We had five, but I'm only going to list four.

Not having the fear of losing your family or loved ones. The absence of worry or anxiety about finding a bathroom. Having health insurance that doesn't specifically preclude you from getting benefits or treatments available to others. And we chose that specifically because we didn't want to... I mean, health is a very important thing. I don't know how it interacts, but it sounds bad. And then the ability to adopt children. We chose those because they felt like big needs. I know for future reference, I'll be thinking about, you know, making sure that I, you know, try to fight for people who are transgender for their right in those places. In those arenas, right.

Because those to me felt like the ones that felt like were really important. And now on all these other arenas, I'll still try to fight for them. But those are ones that I'll particularly pay attention to. It's an interesting way to think about the issue and to think about the ways that we don't have to interact with those issues, right? We believe we're moving into a supernatural season where if needed, God will multiply food. I have seen God multiply food

more than one time when I was cooking. I mean, when my kids were little, they were always bringing their friends into the house. And I remember, you know, spooning out spaghetti or whatever, just praying in the spirit over that. And God just made more and more and more. This story comes from Newsweek. Ritual held at Trump International Hotel to protect the president from the deep state. So what I love about this, Cecil, is it's like one crazy thing intended

to fight another imaginary crazy thing right it's like Godzilla vs Mothra it really is it really is it's like it's like first of all there's no deep state you know like that isn't happening but the solution to

that happening not happening is to have some fucking religious ritual so that the thing that isn't happening will be influenced by the ineffective impotent thing that you it's so delightfully crazy it's like well I don't want that thing not to be

so we gotta do this guys I'm not sure how this works anymore did anyone write it down I don't feel good about my afternoon the deep state when I start reflecting on the term deep state and I think about the intelligence

level of the people in this country who as we voted for Trump we're the least deep state in the entire world right like not a deep state we should have a shirt like we don't have. Like, not a deep state. We should have a shirt. Like, we don't have not a coach.

Yeah. Not a deep state. It's just so stupid. It's just, and this along with all the other garbage that's coming out about the deep state, you know,

that we're going to be talking about later on. We'll be talking about, you know, crazy people who think that, you know, just around the corner for all those people that are going to get busted. It's happening.

It's happening. It's happening. The pre-cum is on the tip. There we go. Well, they say, it said here, conference attendees credit the prayers with helping Trump administration directly, such as the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh. And I'm just like, how the fuck did their prayers do anything with that? And also didn't, why would your prayers for Donald Trump do anything?

He literally did nothing but nominate him. Well, I guess because he got what he wanted, right? Because he got his toy. He got his wish. Yeah, but when it's important, when a baby gets his wishes or whatever, like that's important. Otherwise they have a big tantrum

and you have to put the binky in there and nobody wants to see the binky in there. And to wave their arms. Nobody wants to see that. I love, too, that it's like, oh, man, we prayed for the thing that was numerically most likely to happen. Which nobody... You know, there were so few people out there

that thought that Kavanaugh was not... I mean, who thought? Did you talk to anybody that was like, Kavanaugh's not going to get nominated? No, it's a party line vote. Well, even after the accusations came out and Christine Blasey Ford got testified. It doesn't matter.

It's still a party line vote. Yeah. Okay. Nobody cares about this. Like, we don't care. That was just an opportunity for theater. We've decided already we don't care about sexual assault. We've decided that because the president was like,

hey, I sexually assault women. And then we were like, cool story. Yeah. You're elected. Yeah. Just like, oh, you want to grab me by the ballot? Okay. Yeah.

Sure. Go right ahead. So like we know we don't care. And like, I love that they would take credit for something that was the most likely outcome. Yeah. Oh, man. You know, that water after we prayed, it sure was wet and conformed to the shape of its vessel.

I will tell you what. And when it was high and then it fell, it just fell because we knew it was going to fall. Before that happened, we didn't know if gravity was going to work. We weren't sure. Fair enough. It's worked a billion times before. But you don't know. What if going to work. We weren't sure. You know, yeah, it's worked before. Yeah. Fair enough. Yeah, it's worked a billion times before.

But you don't know. What if it doesn't work next time if we don't pray about it? We are idiots. You want answers? I think I'm entitled. You want answers. I want the truth. You can't handle the truth.

This is just an astonishing one. This is from Right Wing Watch. This is Ann VanderSteel. Amazing name. Oh, yeah. Absolutely amazing name. Fucking money in the bank. Yeah.

Ann VanderSteel says, 80% of government leaders are involved in pedophilia. That's a lot. 80%! That's a lot. That's like... That's a lot. Nearly all of them.

That's a lot. It's got to be weird to be one of the 20%. What's crazy is there's a 50-50 Democrat-Republican vote. So it's 100% of the Democrats, but still. Right. Still, a good portion of the Republicans are also. If you're in that 20%, they're like, hey, man, you want to go do a little baby fucking?

Like, no, I've told you time. Like, that's not my... You guys are so weird. The lobbyist just walks in with a stroller. Just dropped it off a payment. Hey, Bill. He's pushing it back. How are you going to vote next week, Bill?

You know, I told you not to bring me babies. That's wrong. I'll take it. I'll take it. Well, you're taking the stroller. You're taking the stroller. Wait. You're saying no, but you're saying yes.

Your eyes and your crotch say yes. All right You're saying no, but you're saying yes. Huh? Your eyes and your crotch say yes. Come on, baby. It's cold outside. I can't say that anymore. I can't say that on TV anymore. I saw so many different back and forths between that this week. Have you? Yeah, I read a couple articles

about it. Yeah, I read a couple articles about it. Well, where do you fall on the baby? It's cold outside. I think if you read the articles I read, if you read that, if you listen to that story in context from when it was written, I don't think it's problematic at all. What about you? I don't really care. I hate that song anyway. Do you?

I kind of like that. I don't mind that song. It's an okay Christmas song. I'm not a big Christmas song fan, but I think like, I read some very interesting articles that were like, look, you've got to contextualize this thing. And if you contextualize this from when it was read or when it was written, it's

playful. I'm saying no, but I really mean yes. Because you have to. Because at that point, you have to. I think I read similar articles this week. And I thought, I thought they were interesting and I was like, yeah, all right. That makes sense. It feels, it feels in keeping with the time and place that the song was written.

So why, you know, how do we feel about things like, uh, date rape in like, uh, movies from like the eighties then? Uh, well that's date rape. That's different than this song. So I think that's problematic. Like for sure. Yeah. I think the end of the song, one of the important parts That's different than this song. So I think that's problematic. Like, for sure. Yeah. I think at the end of the song, one of the important parts at the end of the song is that at the end of the song

they come together and she agrees. She's happy to stay. She's like, oh, you know, and then they sing together in unison, implying that they have come to a place where they are both happy with their decision. That's not then a rape or a non-consensual moment. Like, that's a playful ban decision. Sure. That's not then a rape or a non-consensual moment.

Like that's a, that's a playful banter. Sure. That, you know, I was just saying like, like in the context, but in the,

in the context of the moment, it was funny and now it's not. Yeah. I think that, I think that's weird that it was ever funny. Yeah. Like, I think that those moments,

like when you're talking about like those 80 movie, eighties movies, things, um, I think it's like, it's a moment where you're like, that's weird that that was funny. Yeah. We should, we should pause and be like, that's weird that that was funny. Why was that funny?

Who was that funny to? I, that's the part I don't know. Cause I, a lot of those movies, to be honest, I haven't seen. Sure. Um, but I've, I've read the hullabaloo that's kind of, you know, going on. And I always wonder, like, was that just funny to dudes? You know what I mean?

Yeah, I don't know. Was that funny? Was that funny across genders? Did that tickle everybody's funny bone? If it did that, I really wonder about that. And I don't know what to think about that. Yeah. I think that it's not a good, I think it sheds a positive light on the attitudes of sex

and young people. But it's not about the people acting, right? A movie is for the audience. And so if the audience reacts in a positive way and it's all the audience, then I don't know what to think about that. I mean, obviously, it says some things that are really unsettling. There's an interesting part. I was watching Breakfast Club recently. And in the Breakfast Club,

the guy, one of the guys goes underneath the table. He's hiding from the principal or whatever. And so the guy comes in the room. I've seen this movie a hundred times and I don't remember anybody's name in the movie. So I've never seen Breakfast Club actually. So there's a moment where they're on Saturday detention and the guy, like the guy gets kicked

out of the room and then sneaks back into the library, falls to the ceiling, sneaks back in the library to get his bag of dope. And so he gets his bag of dope and the principal or the teacher busts in and screams, what the hell was that racket? And while he does that, you expect him to see

the guy who just fell through the ceiling, but he's nowhere in the room. Well, he's hiding under one of the desks. Well, he's hiding under the cheerleader's desk and she's wearing a skirt. And during the conversation that they're trying to basically get rid of this teacher, he, the guy who's underneath the table,

her legs are open and he starts to put his face in between her legs. Okay. And she clamps her thing down and then everybody starts coughing at one point because of it. Like, basically, she makes a sound

and then everybody starts coughing or whatever. But, I mean, it's makes a sound and sure. So everybody starts coughing or whatever, but I mean, it's clear sexual assault. Like, like you can't put your face in between somebody else's legs without permission. Right. That's just the thing.

You know, you can't do that. I don't even care if you're Lawrence Krauss, you can't, but you know, like the fact is, is that, is that,

you know, that moment is, it's played for humor and it the movie and it's in the movie for humor. Right. And it's interesting to see it nowadays. Right. And be like, oh. How does it play? How does it read to you now?

It reads creepy now. Yeah. Reads creepy as shit now. Yeah. When I was a kid, it didn't matter. But when I'm an adult now and I'm watching, I'm like, oh, it's gross. I wonder like, and I don't know because I haven't seen it. So I'm just wondering, right?

So please, I'm just wondering. Yeah. Like, I wonder if it reads as comedy because it's so absurd that it doesn't have a connection with how any, like, nobody's falling through the roof and hiding under a desk. And then like, you know, you're hiding from the teacher, but you're like, maybe I'll eat a little surreptitious pussy while I'm down here. Like all of that is so silly that the circumstances and again, I haven't seen it. Maybe it's

all so outlandish that because it doesn't seem like it's happening. The movie is more sarcastic than it is slapstick. Okay. And it's funny too, because like I grew up with those movies and I never once got the wrong idea from those movies. I never once got any ideas from those movies that I could, you know, jam my face in somebody's legs that didn't want it.

But like, and again, I have not seen it, but like, I do wonder, like. I don't know that, you know, like there should be anything, like I certainly wouldn't say you should ban a movie because of that or anything like that. But I guess, like, what I was going to wonder out loud... But there was a banning of the Baby It's Cold Outside because of it. Right, yeah. So that's why I'm drawing the play around. You know, I wonder, though, like, if...

Why would that play for humor? You know, because it's... Because what would be humorous about that is that it is not appropriate. Yeah. So I wonder if, like, of course you don't get the wrong message. The reason something like that is funny is because that's not an appropriate

way to behave. I, it feels like those movies are not, they're not goofy. Yeah. Like those movies that are, I don't remember them being goofy. I remember them,

like I say, being sarcastic, like, like that's the kind of funny in those movies. Not a mood, not like that. It's like, it's so wacky. Like, that's the kind of funny in those movies. Not like that it's like, it's so wacky, they're so zany. It's, you know, it's more teen angsty than anything else. So, yeah, interesting.

It's an interesting thing that, you know, we decided that that song is not good anymore. It's not a song that, you know, should be played anymore in a lot of different places. And it's because of, and I, and again, that's why I draw the parallel because,

you know, who knows what, you know, are we going to eventually say, no, we can't see these movies, these 16 candles movies or these other movies, because these movies are problematic.

You know, like, but I, I, I don't think like we shouldn't avoid things that are problematic yeah you know like that's that's a bad if something's problematic the thing to do is to have a conversation about it again like i don't want to minimize like i don't i don't think that like i think that the the the messages that we sort of stew in matter you know like the cultural messages in our media

they make a really big difference to how we think. And so I do think they matter, but especially when you look at something that's older, you're not... It doesn't feel as like... If I watch a movie from the 80s, it doesn't feel like a movie of my time. It feels like a movie of its time.

And so if I watch a movie like that, I'm not immediately immersed in a moment of my time. I immediately immersed in a moment of my time. I'm immersed in a moment of its time. And I think if something problematic happens, we can recognize that that's problematic and have conversations about it. But banning it doesn't work for me. It doesn't work for me either. Shouldn't you be able to contend with stuff?

I'd go a step further. I'd say, if something is bad, we should see it. If you have an interest in that, if that's an area of interest, it'd be like, that's bad. Well, let's watch it and let's understand it better. We don't get anywhere by refusing to be exposed. And again, I'm not saying everybody has to do this.

If something is upsetting, don't do it. Then you don't want to do it, don't do it. But if it's not upsetting and you want to contend with it, you can't contend with things by shuffling them off into a, a dustbin and pretending they didn't happen. Yeah. If it's, if,

if a movie like that is a product of its time, how better to understand the time. Yeah. And to understand the messages that we were stewing. Sure. Yeah. All right. So we're going to play this.

This is from right wing watch. Um, this is from, uh, one of their shows. I don't know who's on whose show. I think it's the guy with the bigger face has the girl with the lady

with the smaller face on his show. So let's just watch this. What we're going to find out about the Clinton Foundation, which is what I've been reporting on on Steel Truth Friday night and again tonight, is that that organization

was clearly involved in human trafficking. Look at him smile. The guy, just as she said that, just as she said they were clearly involved in human trafficking. Look at him smile. The guy, just as she said that, just as she said they were clearly involved with human trafficking, this guy got a shit-eating grin that just creeped all the way across his face. He's like, I love some human trafficking.

And I don't think he's smiling because he thinks it's funny. I think he's smiling because he's happy. Yeah, I think it's got like, oh, this is a gotcha. This has a, yeah. We got a gotcha because my picture in picture said it. And it's got like, oh, this is a gotcha. This has a, yeah. We got a gotcha because my picture in picture said it.

And it's, again, I reiterate this on page 294. Folks, look it up in the OIG report. It talks about crimes against children in reference. Yeah, I'm going to read 294 pages. I will read a two page. I will read a two page email. Are you kidding me? I love it.

She's like, it's on page 294. Like, I know exactly where it is. I know precisely. It's not between pages 290 and 310. It only took one page to elucidate this point. Exactly where it is. That's because all the rest of the pages leading up to it are blank. Like, her mind.

Prince to the Clinton Foundation. Mark my words. That information is going to be horrific when the full details of it come out. And don't forget about Anthony Weiner's laptop. Remember Huma Abedin's sexting pedophile husband who was sexting with a 15-year-old sending solicitous pictures

back and forth over the internet? When the New York Police Department's child trafficking pedophile unit caught up with him and apprehended his laptop, it was caught up with him and apprehended his laptop. It was no sooner than... He apprehended his laptop. Stop! Freeze!

That laptop's just sitting there. Freeze! They're like, well, it's Windows. It's Windows. It's already froze. It's stuck. God damn it. It's been updating for this whole time.

We're never going to trial. It's shutting down. Starting back up. And they got it and they alerted the FBI because they found Hillary Clinton's emails. The FBI came in and took it away and wouldn't give it back and wouldn't do anything with it. Sat on it for 30 days because, of course, the fixers, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok, had their little fingerprints all over that. And what's on that laptop has been revealed to be over that. And what's on that laptop has been revealed to be horrific images of children.

Hillary Clinton engaged in it. Huma Abedin engaged with it. These are people coming forth and talking about it. And this- Yeah. Nobody's talking about it. Well, you know, when they... Here's what happened to Anthony Weiner.

They found out his phone. They found out about this. They found his phone. They took all the information out of it, and then they sentenced him to like 30 months in jail or something like that. And he went to fucking jail. Like, they found this shit. Because that's what happens.

When you have evidence. Right. They somehow get a hold of this computer. If they have, you know, fucking Hillary Clinton eating a baby's face, that's a little more important than a text that the FBI has it. What the fuck are we thinking is happening? Yeah, again, like,

how do these fucking internet Sherlock Holmeses all have, like... Yeah, how do they know about it? Yeah, they have, like, this, like, secret cache of super information about shit that, like, well, you know, and they said that my brother's... Yeah, right.

The FBI seized it, but we know what's on it. And they won't release the information to anybody, but here's what all the information is, and I somehow have it. Really? Because aren't you somebody? No way. You're nobody.

This is what mainstream America that watches fake news, whether it's Fox or CNN, it's all the same at this point now. They're not getting that information, and it's going to be a billy club over the head to what we call the- What you should do is watch 4chan. Yeah, what you should do is, yeah, exactly.

What you should do is watch whatever the fuck this fucking grinning dipshit show is because he's got his fucking finger on the pulse of America. You're not getting your news from YouTube conspiracy theorists? Oh my God, how stupid can you be? You guys are missing out. You're not getting your news from YouTube conspiracy theorists? Oh my God, how stupid can you be?

You guys are missing out. Not getting that information. And it's going to be a billy club over the head to what we call the normies out there when they realize, holy cow, this is what's been going on. They probably won't believe it because the Me Too movement has given birth to such a narrative that believe the woman, no, don't believe the woman. It depends on who's, you know, pointing the finger. So they're going to spin the... What? That's not what... That's not at all what is happening.

It has nothing to do with child sex trafficking. Literally nothing. What? Like... That is... It's like, well, you know, I mean, they are canceling the Volkswagen bug, so now people aren't going to believe that Hillary Clinton needs babies. They have nothing to do with each other.

They're two unrelated items. The Me Too movement. I'll tell you what, though. The Me Too movement means something completely different to a pedophile. That's when he's like, how old are you, young lady? Me too. That's what it means. Well, I might also be referring to Hillary eating the babies.

Like, oh, me too. Just right back around and try and go, oh, it's just a conspiracy theory from the right but the hardcore evidence is there and this president and this con literally no evidence there's literally not even soft core evidence there's not even fucking late night cinemax evidence it's not even there's not even the cinemax where i used to blur the lines and you could maybe see a titty in between the bars i don. I don't subscribe to Cinemax, but late at night if I cross my eyes. If I cross my eyes, I see a bush once in a while. That's either a bush or an actual bush.

Either way, I've got my penis in my hand. By the time that it shifted just one tiny bit and you saw like a titty, that was enough time. When you were like nine or 20 or whatever, just like, I'm done. That's it. That's what it sounded like. Do you remember dial- or 20 or whatever, just like, I'm done. That's it. That's what it sounded like.

Do you remember dial up internet and like, it would take a picture and it would like load the page. Like one line at a time. You're like, Oh my God, get to the titties. Why are we not at the titty? You already ejected.

My dad is going to be home in three hours. I've got a 14, four modem. I am never going to see it. Diddy! You're jerking off to their eyes. You just go to a Muslim country and you're like, I love it here.

I love it. And this president and this Congress is going to have a really tough time, Bill, because they're going to have to decide how much information can they really share with the public? Because some of it is so... Well, if they don't share the information, you don't have the information.

Literally. And VanderSchnuten or whatever. Jesus. VanderSteel. That's the fakest name ever. His name is VanderSteel. And here's my husband, Max Power. VanderSteel.

Jesus Christ. Grotesque and just so revolting what they've done to children that I don't know if the public can handle it. You know, I mean, there's just... It's almost like they wouldn't believe it if you didn't have a significant body of real evidence. You know what's crazy to me is like

that what they're saying is in this story, and there was a couple other stories this week that came out about it, where they're talking about the reason why they know what's on it, on this laptop. And this is where they're getting all their information. They're saying, you know, because before, what they were saying is that they just had,

they somehow had Hillary Clinton eating a baby's face. But that's not, what they have is Anthony Weiner's laptop. Right. And all the information came from Anthony Weiner's laptop. Right. And all the information came from Anthony Weiner's laptop. And there's a Liz Croken story that we won't have time to get to this week where she talks about how the police were watching this tape and they were throwing up. And they had a barfor like stand by me or whatever.

And like, one of the things that she says is they saw this stuff, these police officers saw it. And then the FBI came in and swooped in. And I'm just thinking that none of those guys, not a single one of those police officers had a USB drive. Not, not one of those cops sent something from that computer to their own Gmail

account. Now, one of those cops even took out their cell phone and took a photograph of what was on there. Now, one of those cops did any of that, but we somehow know

that that's what's on this. Well, we know, but we don't know. And then the FBI takes the information, but like nobody at the FBI has a conscience or children or has met a child

or like has ever been a child. They all just hatched in suits from like FBI bugs or something. Let's just, it's just madness. This whole thing is just, I, what I don't understand is like, what drives this bullshit?

Like, what is at this point? Like, what is there to gain? Cause it's never going to come to fruition. Yeah. It's never going to happen. What's crazy that this conspiracy just

keeps going on and on and on and on. Wait until you see it. Wait until you see it. And you're just like, hey man, I know that you guys were using this to try to deflect the idea that somehow the president did anything wrong. Right? That's why this thing was even created by people.

To sort of deflect the idea. And that's why it's been amplified by other forces. We talked about this on the other show that we did. You know, one of the reasons why the Russians even amplify this story is to try to make it sound like it's more true so that it takes away some of that, you know, some of the juice from the other side. And so, yeah, like I think the reason reason why this is the, the, this story got so much push initially is because people were like, well, you know, if we, if we make it sound like there's two sides of this issue and that the president has this stuff, maybe the, the, the investigation

won't go as deep or they'll stop it sooner or whatever. And that didn't happen. So now you're in a, you painted yourself into a corner now now you don't know now there's nothing you can do because there's no act anymore now they need to produce something or else

you know what they should use as their scapegoat a goat well that would work alternatively the real criminal pedophile ring

yeah of the Catholic church they should right like isn't it amazing that like that that evidence surfaces and it's full of evidence

Like Cardinal Pell Did you see that Cardinal Pell Was adjudicated guilty in Australian court For hiding abuse Like This is happened And we know it And it's a real child sex traffic

Like all of this shit Almost without the eating of the faces We know where it's happening, but it's like, okay, well, we don't want to talk about that. It's not politically convenient. So instead it was George Soros. And George Soros.

And yeah, there's Q and Anthony Weiner. All this pearl clutching shit about won't somebody think of the children is all nonsense. Yeah. It was always nonsense from day one. This is, won't somebody think of the political advantage to thinking that the bad guys are pedophiles? Pedophiles. That's exactly.

Statistic out there that we talked about on Steel Truth on Friday night, and this is what's so scary. Maybe one to 2% of the population around the world is maybe interested in pedophilia. But if you now look at leadership positions in government, that number jumps up to pushing 80%. So the people running our governments around the world are sick people by and large. I mean, there's a handful of good people, but the majority of them are not. And this is why they've been so desperate to take this. Mostly the Democrats, right? So she says 80% of the people and he's like, mostly the Democrats.

And you're like, 80% is a lot. Right now, we have a 50-50 government. You can't have 80%, but mostly. Mostly. Mostly, mostly it's 50%,

but it's 80%. It's 80%. 60% of the time, that math works every time. Every single time. I love too, that these guys will say things like, it's politicians that are somehow involved in this.

When, I talked about the priest already, but like daycare workers get caught for this sort of thing on occasion. You know what I mean? Politicians have never been caught in mass. There's no evidence. It's daycare workers.

Remember the gymnast doctor who was dealing with children all the time? There's a guy who has access to children all the time and commits horrible, horrible atrocities against dozens of women. Yeah. Yeah. You know, there's an op that was that guy, a politician. And you know, like the thing is, is like, they, they, they hear these other stories where people have actually have access to children and commit these horrible things. And then they're just like, yeah, well, these, you know, like, what are they doing?

Are they raping all the kids on bring your kid to work day? Like, what is, how are they getting access to all these children? Like, oh, well, there's another school bus tour here to visit us

at the fucking Congress. Bring them in the back room. We got to get them in the cloak room so I can reach up to under their dress. I think that that is almost literally part of the narrative, right? Like they have secret underground tunnels in this crazy nonsensical worldview. Yeah.

Full of like stolen Haitian kids or whatever. Clinton Foundation is just shipping them in a weird boat. Just like a drum full of kids. Like they pop out like those like snakes from the peanut brittle. Just like a drum full of kids. They pop out like those snakes from the peanut brittle. They put them in giant bottles and throw them in the ocean with a cork in it and hope that they wind up on our shores.

I love too what she says like, there's a statistic out there. There is though, Tom. That's a true statement. There is a statistic out there. Where'd you get your numbers from, though, Tom. That's a true statement. There is a statistic. Where'd you get your numbers from? Well, I went out there.

Yeah. And that's where I found it. I went out there. President out because they know he is clean and they know he is bringing the goods against them. He's been around. Yeah, he's clean. He's clean. He's been paying off porn stars that are a third his age.

He's so clean. Who makes like weird lascivious comments about his own daughter? The guy who's like talks about like sexually assaulting women because you could get away with it. That's the guy who's like, you know, who's not weird about sex. You know who's

squeaky clean? Our old creepy president's Hansy McCann's face. Bringing the goods against them. He's been around circulating with these people for years and he was sober when he did it and recognizes and remembers

conversations that were had. He knows about Jeffrey Epstein and Pedophile Island. So he understands. Pedophile Island. Pedophile Island. Welcome to Pedophile Island. It's like the land of misfits there's just like a little kid to play there's a lot of little kids pedophile island it sounds like the land of

misfits it sounds like worse than the land of misfits though where a bunch of misfits Rudolph the trafficking reindeer. Last thing, guy, that won't fit. Nothing fits for a pedophile. Use some lube or it won't fit. Oh, God. Terrible. Pedophile Island.

Hey, guys. Maybe we should rename this one, huh? The sequel's The Island of Dr. Pedophile. Can we call this like normal, good time, fun, consensual sex island? Okay, that would be one ticket for Pedophile Island. What do you mean I'm arrested?

Oh! Do not go into the tunnel alone. Whatever you do. Pedophile Island! Do not. So we want to thank our patrons.

Of course, we want to thank all our patrons. We want to thank our most recent patrons. LMBB, Vin, someone's going to pay for this. Jeannie in Vermont, Tuco,

We really do truly appreciate it. You guys are the reason GlorioHole Studios exists and you're the reason that our employee will get a Christmas bonus this year.

Oh, we didn't talk about that. He owes us a Christmas bonus? Yeah. He gets to rub on your Christmas bonus. So we want to also let people know that next week we're going to be doing a live stream on Thursday. Thursday night sometime.

Probably in the eight-ish, nine-ish region time. So we'll put on a tweet earlier in that day and a Facebook message earlier in that day to let you know exactly when it's going to be happening. But it should be in the evening. So we'll put on a, we'll put out a tweet earlier in that day and a Facebook message earlier in that day to let you know exactly when it's going to be happening, but it should be in the evening. So we'll be on all those places that we normally live stream to YouTube,

Twitch, Facebook, and a myriad others that we, that we stream to. We just guessed it on a show called left at the Valley, left at the Valley podcast had us on, and we had a great time on their show.

Really nice people. Up in Canada. Up in the Canadas. Very polite. Yeah. They were super polite. Very nice. They gave us a case of...

They've paid us in beaver pelts. A case of maple syrup that they call whiskey. And so... But they were super nice. We're going to post a link on this week's show notes. Check it out.

They did an interview with us and we had a great time. So check out their show. Got a lot of email in the last couple of weeks. So we got a message from Brian and Brian posted

an image that was from Liz Croken's Instagram. And Liz Croken is talking about how she met a fellow amputee and someone said, you're an amputee?

And her response is, two of my fingers were decapitated. I like this. Decapitated partly. Decapitated. They cut the head off a little bit. Partially decapitated. Yeah. Fucking idiot. So we got a message.

We got a lot of messages actually this week. One from Brian. A couple other people called in and they said they didn't hear their roast. We are going to be sprinkling some... There was just so many people. So many people suggested roasts that we just did not get to all of them.

So there will be some on some scathing atheist and some cog diss in the future. We'll let you know when they're coming up. They will be soon. We will probably within the next couple of weeks have one episode where Tom and I will just be on. Right. And Tom and I will be roasting several people on one episode.

And the skating guys will do the same thing on their show. They'll dedicate several minutes to it every couple episodes. But we'll let you know when it's going to be on. It'll be on in the next few weeks. You'll just have to download every podcast, guys. That's just how it's going to have to work. We will leave no stone unturned. Just download every podcast.

We got a bunch of messages about people doing witch stuff. And one of them said that they didn't... This one is from Andy. And Andy says, that being said, we didn't think that we were lying or fooling ourselves. We fully bought into it like mass

hallucination. X saw spirit so we were all in the moment and we saw it too or it had something to that effect. We got a lot of similar emails. A lot of similar emails that said basically the exact same thing, which is we're just basically under mass hypnosis. I thought that was really interesting

because it dovetails other religious experiences. Absolutely. I was in a great big group of people. We chanted, we did our thing, blah, blah, blah. And then we all felt the same thing. We all had the same experience. We wanted to let people know that our show's available on Pandora now. So if you wanted to find our show,

all you have to do is search for it in the podcast portion of the app. And you can find our show there. And you can listen to all the episodes there. So if you wanted to consume our show through Pandora, that's a possibility for you now. We got a lot of messages about the Facebook show that we did. A lot of people really liked

the deep dive stuff that we did. So Tom and I are going to go through and maybe start a little list of stuff and maybe once every couple of months or maybe sooner than that, I don't know. It depends. Have a show that's just a deep dive because people really responded to it very well. Um, we did, we didn't get any negative comments as near as I could tell.

So, um, so, uh, if you, if you were, have a suggestion for a topic, let us know, you know, something that we could dive off deep into, maybe watch a few documentaries, maybe, um, read some very long articles, well-sourced articles about it. We'd be happy to cover some suggestions from the audience. So if you have an idea for a deep dive that we could do in the future, let us know. We got a message from Michael

about Facebook and Twitter ad tracking. There's a website. He said it's a little old and it's called MyShadowDetox, MyShadow.org slash detox, where you can go through and clean up a lot of your traces. Yeah, that's interesting. It's not perfect, but it has a huge impact.

He also says by running the detox, the data detox and doing DuckDuckGo.com instead of Google. I heard that. It's better. It's better for him. We normally don't push detoxes on this show, but we will this time. We got a message from Jennifer who wanted to let us

know that fighting alongside all the people, all the good people of the world who are trying to stop people from consuming fake news, librarians are leading the charge, teaching our children how to read articles. Yeah, I thought that was really interesting. A lot of what has to happen is we need to become

better digital consumers and we need digital educators to help us do this. Like people who can help apply the basic tools of critical thinking to a digital world. Right. And we know objectively from research that we are not good at this. Yeah. So we are not doing a good job and we need to learn to do better. And anybody who helps in that fight is going to make the world a better, safer place for everybody in our online communities. We got a message from Derek

and Derek says that he runs a niche social media site. And he was saying that one of the reasons why propaganda got so easy is Facebook and Twitter implemented a share and retweet buttons that help set off a chain reaction. He said, with those easy to click buttons, news articles can spread incredibly fast. Before those buttons existed, you would have to go to the website where the article is published, copy the URL, and then paste it into your own status. And if your friend wanted to share it, they had to do the exact same process. And so some people wouldn't do

that. And that wouldn't lend itself to the virality of that particular phenomenon, which is interesting. And I know for sure that the share button they even talk about in one of the documentaries we watch. It's huge. We got a message. This is

from Jeannie in Vermont and she said, um, you know, you guys just did this, this show. Uh, but I'm just curious, you know, what, what, what should we do about it? Like what's, what's, what's some things that we can do about it? And we did talk a little bit about this limit. Your social media exposure is one of the things, one of the ways to approach it. Be more conscious about what you share is another way. Yeah, I think that answer, we didn't give hard and fast answers because I think your interest and use and utility of social media varies. But I

will stick to what I said before, which is I think that you should have, I think you should spend some time thinking about what social media is, why you use it, what value it has in your life. Then you should have a plan for how much you want to do on it. How much time are you willing to devote to it? How,

how do you want to interact with it? How do you want to build your digital billboard or your digital brand? How important those things are to you? How do you want to consume media? Where do you want to gather your information from? Really stop. And outside of using these tools, stop and think about how these things are tools in your life, what effect they have on you, and what effect you want them to have. And try to be objective about your behavior on these tools. How is it impacting relationships? Is it impacting your thought processes? Is it impacting how you spend your

free time? Is it impacting what you think about how you think? All of those things are all important to spend time on it. Then develop a plan and act on that plan. It's going to be different for different people and that's fine. But make sure it's going to be different for different people. And that's fine. Yeah. You know, but be critical. Make sure it's conscious. Just don't be critical about it. Yeah. Never assume you're going to do a good job by accident.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a good way to think about it. We got a message from Brad. He said, you know, leaving Facebook is almost impossible. He's like, over 10 years ago, I tried to kill mine. I went through all the steps. The last being, don't try to log into Facebook. He's like, over 10 years ago, I tried to kill mine. I went through all the steps. The last being, don't try to log into Facebook.

He's like, I didn't try. Somehow, a few years later, I started getting updates from old high school acquaintances. I couldn't log in to kill it anymore, but it clearly isn't dead. He's like, he's just made a spam filter for it at this point, but he deleted his account. I was telling Tom earlier that I had a second, another Facebook page before that I had friended him on, but nobody else, very few people. And I wound up changing it to the current Facebook page that I have now. And I abandoned that page. And I haven't logged into that page in a long, long, long, long, long time.

And I still get messages when Tom will post me. So it's hilarious. Because I don't think I have other friends i think i might have two friends and the other people stop doing stuff why should i unfriend you you should unfriend then you won't have to you gotta dig through it you should unfriend me you gotta find me you gotta find me i'm gonna unfriend the fuck out of you fucking do it i love it time we got a message from megan about the 23andMe, basically the DNA stuff. So there's a handful of those DNA analysis companies.

23andMe is one of them that I've used. And, you know, she raises an interesting point. She says she's hesitant to participate because what do they do with the DNA you pay them to take from you? They own that shit after you send it in. You know, there are a lot of disclosures in the 23andMe. I don't know, to be honest. I don't remember. I did it kind of on a lark. I recognize that maybe that's

anathema to my other privacy concerns and my larger concerns about how we give up our privacy without thinking. Megan, I didn't think too much about this, and that's kind of my pat on this. But I did just that in exchange for the information that I assumed I paid for and so had

some rights over. Now, I do think that that is, though, part of what would make something like the DNA analysis companies a little bit different. Because I paid for them, I am a consumer and I have consumer rights. And so I am more confident because the money exchanged hands. I am more confident that my privacy will be safeguarded relative to that than I am when I'm not a consumer. So in places where I know I'm not a consumer, I recognize that there's a difference there, right? Yeah. And Tom's just banking on the fact that he's a non-secreter now. I just what he says. I just secrete so quickly. Yeah, when it goes real fast, it loses all the DNA.

We actually sent in an image, but I'm going to read it instead of posting it. It says, A Christmas Carol is the heartwarming tale of how rich people must be supernaturally terrorized

into sharing. I think that's great. It's so funny because the moment you hear it, sharing. I think that's great. It's so funny because the moment you hear it, you're like, that's true. Oh, it's true. Three times he has to get terrorized.

The first time, the first time he's like, whatever, like whatever. Four times really because like the Crowley or whatever. Because Alistair Crowley

visits him or whatever. Mr. Crowley. Mr. Cromwell or whatever that Because Alistair Crowley visits him or whatever. Mr. Crowley. Mr. Cromwell or whatever that guy's name is. We got an image of Trump from Aaron. Aaron sends us the only, the best images. We're going to put it on this week's show notes. I'll tell you what. We'll put it on this week's show notes.

This is episode 447. I don't need to see that again. That's going to wrap it up on this week's show notes. This is episode 447. I don't need to see that again. That's going to wrap it up for this week, but we're going to leave you like we always do with the Skeptic's Creed. Credulity is not a virtue.
