Cognitive Dissonance - Episode 468: Southern Juices

Episode Date: May 6, 2019

Stories from the Week

This episode of Cognitive Dissonance is brought to you by our patrons. You fucking rock. 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 dissonance Storyhole Studios in Chicago. This is Cognitive Dissonance. Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way. We bring critical thinking, skepticism, and irreverence to any topic that makes the news, makes it big, or makes us mad. It's skeptical, it's political, and there is no welcome mat.

This is episode 468, I think, of Cognitive Distance. It is. It is. And we are live. This is the first time when you say that. Yep. Live means something. It does mean something.

So if you're a patron of the show, you had an opportunity to watch the sausage get made. You got a backstage pass to the glory hole. We're experimenting with the idea of giving people access to the recording as it happens. Yeah, as it happens. Before the edit. Yep. Here we go. Oof. You feel the pressure, buddy? Absolutely.

I don't feel any pressure. But I don't, here's why I don't feel any pressure. Because I don't care about other people and how they feel. That's rough. That's fair. That's fair, no. Just ask my kids. I mean, it's not wrong. It's wrong, but it's not wrong.

You can't go wrong if you quit inside before you start. That's so fair. You know, like some people like yourself, like you're like, I would consider you like, for sure, I would consider you a perfectionist. And I consider myself a, is it done yet is i don't know what the word for that is it's just like oh my god i i put a check next to that box it's like the box looks like shit it's a box do you remember when we used to like work on your house together yeah like how how many hours we would work on

like each other's houses and things. I don't think either of us were the perfectionists back then. No. It was a, I want to get it done

as fast as possible. Do you remember when I said I'd fuck stuff up? That's custom now. It's custom. It's custom. It's custom. You can't,

you got to pay extra for that. I've been doing that with this podcast forever. Anybody can make it plumb and level and square all you need to do is follow rules and stuff

whatever it's fucking custom yeah I pride myself not on getting things done well but on getting lots of things done okay yeah

okay I'm okay I'm a volume guy I'm okay with a trickle of things done okay I'm a volume guy like you know like it's like I'll take I'm a volume guy. Like, you know,

like it's like, I'll take, I'll take 30 C minuses. Thank you. C's get degrees. All right. So this story comes from Gizmodo.

Two HIV cases linked to spa that gave trendy vampire facials. Holy shit. This thing is, I read this article or I read a similar article earlier this week.

This really kind of came to the world's attention when Kim Kardashian posted an Instagram of herself getting this done. The way this works is fucking insane. I can't wait to hear this. They don't have a lot of details in this article, so I'm anxious to hear this. They take some of your blood out.

Then they spin it, remove the plasma, like the platelets, et cetera. They spin it? Like a pizza? Yeah, like, hey, oh, you got to have like a big bushy fucking mustache

while you're spinning the blood around. Got to talk with your hands. Yeah. There should be ethnic centrifuges. I don't know if that's a thing. There should be ethnic stereotype centrifuges where you just get like, like fucking crazy,

ethnically offensive Italian guys. Oh, thank God. That's what you're talking about. I thought you're talking about separating the blood because it's a different ethnicity. And I was like, okay. We got to get the white cells. What are we doing here?

We're separating the white cells from the red cells. The red cells have to go into the back of the cell. The cell's just like, we're going to yell blood and soil, but now we just don't know what the cell's just like we're gonna yell blood and soil but now we just don't know what to do like there's like us and soil us and soil

so they take out some of your blood then they centrifuge it they spin it they separate out the platelets etc and then they like inject that shit into your fucking face they take out your own blood basically remove the platelets and then inject the platelets into your fucking face. They take out your own blood, basically remove the platelets and then inject the platelets into your face. Right.

And the idea then is that like, by doing that, it will stimulate your body to be rejuvenated. But it's wait. Yeah. Like, okay. Like I get it.

If they're like, we killed the six year old to put on your face and be like, okay, maybe that'll work. But like, if it's it if they're like, we killed this six-year-old to put on your face. I'd be like, okay, maybe that'll work. But if it's your own blood, I feel like my face already has blood in it. It's already in there. You don't have to take it out

and then put it back in. That was my first thought. It's not the blood hokey pokey. What the fuck? It's blood from my arm, which is just like, I was blood from somewhere other than your arm a moment ago. Very recently, yeah.

And now I'm blood in your face, but it's like I already have blood in my face. Yeah. I have no idea. Like now it's like free range blood or whatever. Like it's not in my capillaries. If you have some blood and you let it go, then it's...

If you love something, bleed it free. Bleed it... What's the weirdest procedure you've ever had done on you? Oh, I've had some weird. I've had a bunch of Chinese medicine done. Chinese medicine? Not me, no. So I've had moxibustion.

What is that? Tell me what that is. Well, I don't know the difference between moxibustion and the moxibustion with acupuncture. So forgive me if I mix these up, but it was all done at the same time. So there was this crazy, I had this,

remember that cough I used to get? Yeah, yeah. Remember like it would last like six months. Yeah, like a hundred years. It's a hundred year cough. It was horrible. Yeah, it was horrible. Yeah.

So like out of desperation, like I knew somebody and I went to this Chinese and he stuck these needles, the acupuncture needles all over me. This is 20 years ago. This is a long time ago. Long time ago.

And then like lit like a hunk of stink weed or whatever. I don't know. I don't know what it was. Here's some stink weed. He's like, I want to go home now. And like, I don't, like he just like rubbed it near the needles or like waved it around the needles or like, I don't, I like, he just like rubbed it near the needles or like, like waved it around the needles

or like, I don't remember. Some of the needles were electrified. None of it did anything for my cough. Like, it was just a fucking pointless thing that I did. So I did that.

The same guy did that cupping procedure where they like, That's the weirdest thing I've ever done. And you just get a weird, a giant hickey. Yeah. And you're just like, why do I have this crazy hickey? So did they do the actual lighting of the weirdest thing I've ever done. And you just get a weird, a giant hickey. Yeah. And you're just like, why do I have this?

So crazy. Did they do the actual lighting of the cup thing? Okay. So they didn't do that to me. No. So I was, I was having problems with my, my calf.

And the doctor was like, I want a dry needle. You. And I was like, I barely know you. I was like, I'm not, you know,

first off dry needle. We're going to use some lube needle. That's how this works. I'm not that loose back there. But also I was like, I don't want to get it done. I was, I looked it up and really what it is, is they say that there's a relief point or something. They use language that makes it sound

like it's somewhat science-y. Yeah, right. But it's really just acupuncture. They're just putting it where it kind of hurts, right? So instead of acupuncture saying, well, I need to, you know, put it at the bottom of your leg so it fucking diddles with your face or whatever

because your fucking face is contorted in some weird position. So now I've got to put it down by your Achilles. So that's where, because that's where the chi point is or whatever, or the flux capacitor or whatever it is. They basically say, oh,

it hurts here. I'm going to dry needle there. And so it hurt in my calf. And they're like, I want to dry needle. I was like, hard no, not going to happen.

Cause I looked it up. I left and I was like, not going to do it. Did you ever have a guy pine needle you? Pine needle. He's like, that smells like a Christmas tree. It doesn't do any good.

It smells like dad. Is that gin? What is that? But they take this thing and it's like a, it's like a Hitachi wand kind of, but it's got a big bowl on it. And so you click it a couple times and it sucks the air out.

And then he would take it and move it around. And he would say that that was pulling the muscle. Because normally what you do is you press on the muscle. And he's like, this is pulling on the muscle. It did nothing. It did literally nothing. It didn't fix the problem completely? Not at all.

Good Lord, Lord, no. What? Of course not. No. It's so weird. It's almost like the electric needles and stinkweed didn't get rid of my cloth. It's not like giving your kid autism through a vaccine. That's fast.

Can I ask what fixed your calf? What fixed my calf was learning how to run. Huh. You know what fixed my cough was realizing it was asthma. Not like a needle. It wasn't like my fucking chi

wasn't moving in the wrong direction. It's my fucking, fucking alveoli were spasming. Yeah, so anyway, two people got HIV because it turns out like when places play with your blood that are also just playing fast and loose

with all the rules. And they say in here that they got HIV from the same person. So the chances are very good that they got it from this place because they both also attended this spa. Yeah. It says laboratory testing on specimens from the two clients indicates recent infection

with the same virus, increasing the likelihood that two HIV infections may have resulted from a procedure at the vampire blood spa. And you know, it said it's connected to Gwyneth. It says,

the procedure has been championed by Gwyneth Paltrow's controversial brand Goop, which describes the blood facial process in which healing factors from a patient's own blood are re-injected into the skin, rejuvenating it in a way, much the way PRP

treatments help heal joints and injuries in orthopedics and sports medicine. Blood facial. That is not the first time Kim Kardashian has gotten a blood facial. Let's be real honest here. Omar wears a hijab. Were they adhering to Sharia law in their arrest?

Because it doesn't seem to be Sharia law. What's happening in our country today is that Sharia law is not a story. Think about it. This story comes from ThinkProgress. Police. Man plowed his car into crowd because he thought they were Muslim. So that's kind of exactly what happened here this guy on his way to fucking bible study on his way to bible study guys saw a crowd thought

they look muslim for whatever that means i don't know if they're like wearing hijabs or like yeah there are certainly some things you can wear. There are indicators. I'm probably pretty fucking clear. And he just fucking drove his car into a crowd of people. 60 miles an hour. Yeah. He didn't kill anybody, but he seriously injured people, right? Like real bad. Yeah, like real, real fucking bad.

Yeah. Everybody's still alive, but not everybody is okay. Yeah. And the guy like fucking 60 miles an hour smashes in all these people crashes his car crawls out of his car all fucked up and is like praising jesus as he gets out of his car yeah on his way so the only reason i brought this up is like we talk about trump a lot we talk about like some of the rhetoric around that and it's one thing to have a set of policies and to be critical of a set of policies. I'm basically critical of all of those policies.

Sure. But I think as important is the rhetoric that surrounds policy. And a lot of the rhetoric on the right that surrounds the anti-Muslim policy very directly, like not indirectly, very directly encourages this kind of behavior. You can lay this right at the feet of the right. I mean, you just can't. I don't think there's any way around that. You can lay it right there and say the rhetoric, that anti-Muslim, pro-Christian nation rhetoric, that's directly responsible for this kind of shit. For injury to hear. You know, it's interesting this week, sometimes at my work,

we will have some team building type exercises. And this week, one of the things that we talked about at my work was a thing called restorative justice. Restorative justice is a different way in which to basically talk about conflict management, conflict resolution. And so we had these people in, but they were from a religious organization that came in. So we started out the whole thing and there's two atheists in my

department. We both know each other. And one of the things that happened was the first thing we're doing on Icebreaker and they're like, pick a number and then I'll ask you a question. Then you tell the group the answer. And he's the first one and he picks a number and they tell him, what comes into your mind when you think of God was the very first question they asked.

And he looks at him and he's just like, I have an empty space there. That's what he said. One of the things that they said the second day when we were doing this workshop, because this had happened over the weekend and the workshop spanned over two days, was they come in and the first thing she says is,

she's like, I just want everybody to just take a minute. I want everybody to look at this thing in the center. It's God or whatever is the individual icon that is there. And she says, I want everybody to take a moment and just realize and just accept and just think about the fact that faith is under attack

in this country. What? And she's responding to the shooting at the synagogue and things like that. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, yeah, but last week a Christian tried to mow down Muslims. I was going to say. It's not that he was an atheist who tried to mow down Muslims.

It's a Christian who's trying to do it. Religions have been killing each other for years and years and years and years. I mean, they didn't need any help from us. Like they've been doing it just fine on their own. That's kind of an unbelievable thing to say. That's like... But a bunch of people in the thing nod their head

because that's a common thing that they all believe. Yeah, I know it is. It's just, it's so crazy to think that, it's like, yeah, the synagogue got shut. Yeah, by who? Yeah. Like by people who think, look, atheists don't think Judaism is a thing.

Yeah. Right? Like I don't have any more thoughts of significance around the Jewish people than I do the Baptists. Like I couldn't imagine a world where I cared less. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, sure. To be an anti-Semite and an atheist seems to be a bad atheist.

It doesn't make any sense. Why would I do that? It doesn't make any sense. Right. It just seems, like, I can't even wrap my head around how that would work. It's not that I don't think Judaism is stupid, right? It's not that I don't think that those rules are weird and, and strange when they've got to like, you know, they can't have two types of bread or something next to each. You know what

I mean? Like where you're just like, I don't know what you got. You got some weird 5,000 year old rule before we had coolers that you've got to like plan out your meal in a certain way. Because back then you couldn't put meat and cheese together because you get super fucking sick. And now you're just like, yeah, it's cool. I have a fucking, I have a meat drawer at home. I'm all right. I just think like all religious practices are by their nature silly at best.

Yeah. Like the best you're going to get out of me is most of that is silly. Some of those practices might be accidentally morally justifiable, right? But I think you can easily come up with a set of moral standards which far exceed every religion I've ever heard of

in about 15 minutes. You could take 15 solid minutes and come up with moral standards which are way better than every religion I've ever heard of once. I mean, most of those old religions, all you have to do is just be like, yeah, you can't rape.

And then suddenly you're like, oh wait, none of us thought of that ahead of time? No, oh wait, none of us thought of that ahead of time? No slavery. Oh, none of us thought of that ahead of time? Treat children like people. Nobody thought of that ahead of time? Women are equal to men. Like, you're like, like basic,

like seriously, 15, start a fucking boggle timer. 15 minutes. Yeah. You could come up with better moral precepts like while eating a sandwich. Yeah. It would not be difficult.

It's not hard. So, yeah. Listen to me, Hatcher. You got to tell them. 5G. It is people. All right, this story comes from the Joe My God blog. Christian site.

Oh, this is amazing. 5G technology will bring the Antichrist. So, I actually want to read. This is from Charisma News. Charisma News, the site best known for its anti-witchcraft tutorials, its claim to the lifespan

of gays is shortened by 20 years. It's warning that burning breakfast eggs can summon demons. Then its examination of the threat of demons in swimming pools

has some thoughts about 5G technology. Here is an excerpt from Charisma News. Tom, before we start. Yes, sir. What's a G? A G is a measurement of how many your cell phone has. What you do, a lot of people don't know this. It's actually like what you do is you open your phone.

So I just got a brand new phone today. Brand new phone. As a matter of fact. Oh, brand new phone. Nice. Brand new phone today. Is it the Edge or something? No, it's just the 9.

I had an 8, but whatever. So I got a brand new phone today. And the first thing I did when I got it is I whacked it against the rock to open it. Because that's how you open a phone. And then the Gs come out. Is there a dial to turn up the Gs? Can you turn it up to 11 Gs? What you do is the count is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Warren.

And when you get to Warren, that's the fastest cell phone you can get. Like when you get the Warren G. Oh, I love it. So, do you not know what a G is? No, I have no idea what a G is. Do you know what a G is? I do know what a G is.

I thought this was- You thought it was arbitrary? You thought a G was arbitrary? Yeah, I thought it totally was. It's generation. It's the generation of the network. Okay, I make sense. So, fourth generation network.

But in that sense, it doesn't really denote anything in specificity. Nothing whatsoever. Right, okay. And that's why the comments when people make them about, well, why don't we go to 7G? Be like, well, we haven't gotten to 6G yet. Yeah, you literally can't go to 7.

You can't go to 7. You can't go to like, well, I just want to go to my great, great, great, great grandchildren. Like you can't get there. Well, what I want is I want to have my fourth kid first. Yeah. And then go back inside.

And what the fuck? And kill myself because I didn't want children. What was I doing? What I want is none of my kids first. And then I want to stop at that point. All right. So, all right.

So 5G, we have more, more in your phone. And actually, what is 5G? I'm sorry. I know we're going to get to this, but like the punctuation in charisma news is enough to make me want to fucking

red pen the screen right now. So I don't even know how to read this. There's a lot of technology or a lot of commas in here. Technical comma technology. I'm going to read it with the commas. I'm going to try. All right.

What is 5G technology? Artificial intelligence and more have to do with the Antichrist and the end times? Plenty, says pastor and author Mark Blitz. Yeah, of course. They're all made up. As technology, says what Mark Blitz says. Technology is made up. As technology becomes more and more a part of our everyday lives, Blitz says, we must consider theories about the Antichrist.

Really? We must? Must is the word we're using. Like how? That's essential. And emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. Okay, artificial intelligence. All right.

Emerging technology. Siri. What? When did that emerge? I feel like Siri has emerged. Hey, Siri. It's not emerging. Have you emerged?

I found this on the web for how do you emerge? Alexa. Alexa, order Pirate's Booty. All right. Watson, 5G, and more. Alexa, subscribe to Cognitive Dissonance Podcast. Alexa, play Baby Beluga. Subscribe to Cognitive Dissonance Podcast. Alexa, play Baby Beluga. All right.

What is Watson? Wait, do you know what Watson is? What is a Baby Beluga? Oh, it's some kid's song. I just heard it this morning. I don't, yeah. Is it like Baby Shark, but it's different? Yeah, I never heard Baby Shark. That song gets stuck in my head

harder than any other song ever. The kids sing that thing and i'm like i've never heard this until this year and now that is the earworm that is going to ruin my mind they will find me rocking back and forth in the shower of an insane asylum i hope when i lose all of my faculties that the very first faculty I lose is the memory of that fucking song. Pedophile priest shark. What's Watson? Do you know what Watson is?

Watson is an IBM thing. I don't know. Isn't that the thing that plays chess against? Oh, I think it is the super chess playing Jeopardy robot. I don't know if like, I don't know if there's any access to Watson that other normal people have, but other than like,

like isn't it just like in some weird room at IBM where it's like it's by itself? Yeah, I think it is. I think it's that supercomputer that played Jeopardy. I don't think I can do that. Yeah, like, okay, so let me read it. We must consider theories about the antichrist and emerging technologies

such as artificial intelligence, Siri, Alexa, Watson, HAL 9000, 5G, and more. HAL 9000. Which are creeping into our lives on a daily basis. We don't even have 5G for most people yet.

Yeah, and most people will... You're not going to have Watson. Like half the cell phone users don't have Siri. Yeah, and like artificial intelligence. I don't have regular intelligence. Are you kidding me? All right.

And changing our perspective of how things could possibly play out in the next few years. And as the technology race continues, it is no longer difficult to imagine, this is my favorite, the Antichrist as some kind of hybrid human cyborg able to project himself all over the world at one time as a hologram that demands to be worshipped that's amazing actually hold my beer i am going to leap motherfucker actually to be honest i would worship something like that if there was a fucking hybrid human cyborg projecting i'd be like what's that's more worshipable than all the gods that have ever been. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Right?

It is just insanity, but we're on the course of insanity. And if we do this, there is a judge in heaven, and that judge in heaven is going to take vengeance against those who damage Israel. That's what the Bible says. Don't touch them. Though he who touches you touches the apple of my eye. You're sticking your finger in God's eye. That's what the Bible says. All right, this story comes from Right Wing Watch. This is Cat Care.

Cat Care used heaven's oil to anoint Israel and guarantee Netanyahu's re-election. All right, so this is from another show. Now, this is not her show, but this is from another show and she's on it. I didn't know if you wanted to share a little bit about the word that God gave on Mount Carmel pertaining to Israel.

Did she originally say on the milk, the milk caramel? I think she might've started to say that. The other thing too is she's really, she doesn't want to just say, can you talk about blah? Instead she's, I don't know if you want to mention the thing about the, you know,

you know, the thing you were talking about before we were, you know, that one thing. It's the clumsiest like way to get somebody to talk about the thing you want them to talk about, which like, like there's an elegant way to do that do that right there's a way to do that where you're elegantly handing the conversation to somebody by reminding them of the direction you'd like

to take the conversation oh america and trump and netanyahu yeah you know actually the first day i arrived that night uh god said, you're going to go outside and you're going to make, you're going to anoint the land, the ground with heaven's oil. Heaven's oil. Hey, hey. If you like heaven's oil,

you can go to adamandeve.com. You can get silicone-based heaven's oil. You can get water-based heaven's oil. All the heavenly oils you want at adamandeve.com. And at Gloria, check out, if I'm not mistaken, you get 10 free gifts.

Yeah. Gloria, check it out. And that Heaven's Oil did come from North Carolina. There is a... Nothing heavenly has ever come from North Carolina. That's my favorite part.

Nothing heavenly. I love it. It's not like the River of Jordan or some like, oh, that sounds fancy if you're not, you know, near the River of Jordan, right?

That like sounds exotic unless you're like, that's just the local river. Yeah. Like, comes from north carolina what are you fucking kidding me i love what is it made out of craft beer yeah that's the only good thing in north carolina too you could have that weird ass fucking statue the racist statue in that weird ass didn't we go to north carolina you and i we oh my god we went to uh

a couple times right do you remember that you I? Oh my God. We went to Hickory. A couple times, right? Do you remember that? You're talking about the barbecue place. We went to like Hillbillies. Yeah, Hillbillies. It was called Hillbillies. Yeah. And we walked in and there was a wooden Confederate soldier. Yeah.

That's the very first thing you see when you walk in the door. Like noosing a black guy or something. And then like you went into the bathroom and a dude was changing his dentures out or something? Yeah, I walked into the bathroom and there was this very nice gentleman and he was taking his teeth and he was putting, we were chit-chatting, it was very friendly,

and he just took his teeth out of his mouth and I'd never seen anybody do that before. And then he put them in his pocket and for some reason that amused me because, and I don't know why, because like, where else are you going to put them? Like, that's what pockets are for. But also like, pockets aren't for your teeth.

So like, your mouth is for your teeth so like like your mouth is for your teeth so i remember being like crazy amused by that and he's like yeah i don't want to get these dirty with all that barbecue i was like i thought that's what teeth were for he i guess he just like he gulps it down like a catfish i just like he's just like he just jaws that like unhinges his jaw like a reptile and just shoves it in there. Cause I, that had me thinking like, oh my God, these are your like going out teeth. Like these are your, these are your fancy teeth. These are my company teeth. I don't want to muck them all up. I don't want to put too many miles on these. These are my loaded teeth.

And I kind of wanted to be like, well, can't you're brushing, but I thought like, well, that's putting a horse after the cart, right? Like, I think if you had figured that method out, you'd have your actual tea. The Bible that has not stopped producing this oil from heaven. What the fuck are you talking about?

Did she just say there's a Bible in North Carolina that's producing oil? Hold on. This oil did come from North Carolina. There is a Bible that has not stopped producing this oil from heaven it's legit it's just a juicing jizzing oil bible in north carolina like is it is it oh god if it is it still extra virgin if you get the first press press is a press is a Oh, that was good. Publishing joke there. That was good.

Fresh pressed. Guggenheim semen. That's original first press. It's not made up. And he had me take some with me. It's not made up. I didn't just say this. You can't go there or see it or verify it.

There's no way you'd ever be able to know about it other than me telling you. But fuck you doubters. It's definitely true. Doubting a Bible which leaks oils. It's the truth. In North Carolina. And so I anointed the land

for Netanyahu to win and stand for Israel and for God and that he would win. Because they were voting the very next day. They were voting the next day for the prime minister and it was in the middle of the night. It was really late, but it did anyway.

And guess what? In Mount Carmel, that was the day they were voting. Yeah. The day they were actually voting. I love the idea that like, if you didn't spill your fucking seed on the ground or whatever you have to do. Bury your oils.

Then like, like other people that were going to vote for Netanyahu wouldn't have done that. Like, how does, how does God influence voting? I don't know how that works. Right. I never understood. And they've been, they've been talking about this since Trump, but they've been talking about it for a while, but I, you're absolutely right. How does it work? Because we've talked about it on the show before, either you change the people's minds to vote, right? So they no longer have free will or you just change the votes afterwards like you're God

and you're breaking into voting machines. Those are your two options because they weren't going to vote for it without intervention. Like you have to intervene somehow.

Yeah, right. And like, but first, a weird old lady with pink hair has to spill Virginia juice in Israel.

North Carolina juice. Oh, I'm sorry. Is there a difference? I don't know. I don't know anything about Virginia. Yeah, nobody does. So like you got to spill fucking Southern juices. Southern juices.

The juices from down below. Southern juices. Yeah, all over. Mother, can you get your Southern juices running for me? God. I guess the only way that, like, it doesn't require a full-on, like, change of mind in order for that intervention would be, like,

if somebody wasn't going to vote at all and then they were stirred by the fucking holy boogeyman... Sure. ...to be like, you know what? Voting does seem like a good idea, but it's still interventionist, right? Right, right. But at least it's not like... Oh, I see what you mean. Oh, seem like a good idea, but it's still interventionist, right? Right. But at least it's not like-

Oh, I see what you mean. Oh, so there is another way. And it's to stir the souls of the people who were just going to stay at home. So like what you're doing is convincing people to buy stamps. Jesus, if you spill enough oil, you'll convince a millennial to buy a stamp. If Jesus lubes you up enough, you'll make it in and out of the post office then an angel gets its wings or a millennial buys a stamp or however

that enough lube any angel can get its putting god have me stanamont carmel and god spoke you know how it's like one of those dust days Lord is not like you saying, well, God said this or God said this. It's literally like God speaking. And he said that. Wait, isn't that what you're doing right now is saying God said this. Isn't that what I know? I'm not fucking around. I can't, I don't know what you're saying. Okay. Let's try it one more time. Do you know? Let's try it. And on Mount Carmel, that was the day they were voting. Yeah. The day they were actually voting, God had me stand on Mount Carmel, and God spoke.

You know how it's like one of those, the sayeth the Lord, it's not like you saying, well, God said this or God said this. It's literally like God speaking. Oh, so God didn't talk through somebody. Oh, because that was like, aren't you right now telling me that God spoke? Well, God spoke, but God didn't speak through somebody. Yet I will be willing to bet that she's the only one that relays this message. Ah, I see. Okay. Yeah. Which is like the same thing.

It's very much like the same thing. In that it's the same thing. He said that he had chosen Netanyahu. This is before he was confirmed even that he won, that he had chosen. Oh, well, because if he chose him afterwards, then all he did was just check the data, right? All he did was like, look at the New York Times.

I picked the right one. I picked it. Hey, which horse you got in the 2017 Belmont? Let me go ahead and take a quick look at one. I picked that one. I picked the winner again. Holy shit. You know what else I have? I have last week's fucking

winning lottery numbers every time. Also, you're an asshole. God damn. To win, to serve in the same time, to be a part of what our president Trump is doing, and that together they would do great things in the earth.

And that- Like the two most corrupt people. What are they going to do great things in the earth? What does that mean? I don't know, mining for things? I don't know. What are they like the under miner from the Incredibles? Like, what are they doing?

What are you doing? They're like Dig Dug. They're, you know, this is an old- I remember Dig Dug. No, I just got it now. I just got it, yeah. It's a video game where you used to pump up the- It was really hard.

You used to blow up the guys. They would come running at you and be like, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. I just like explode them with like- And then you'd run around and try to dig out all the stuff. Yeah, you couldn't unionize them. Pump the thing. And every once in a while, he'd get trapped in the mine,

just like a miner. That he was, God was going to celebrate that Netanyahu was winning. And guess what? He did actually get won. Not just won, but he did get confirmed. And so it was powerful. Wait a minute. Could he have won and not gotten confirmed?

I don't know Israeli politics. Yeah, I don't know either. But that seems part and fucking parcel. Yeah. Right? Like, hey, you won, but we're not going to. I mean, like you won in the sense that we're not gonna make you prime minister

is she saying that like she poured a little canola on the ground and somebody won a thing is that my guess is that what we're saying here if she were catholic it would have been rapeseed oil which is canola oil they don't use oil.

That's not even that polite. She's gone. Never mind. Get out, you idiot. I'll find her. I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris. This story comes from Right Wing Watch. Mark Taylor.

Notre Dame Fire was God's judgment to expose its involvement in child sex trafficking. I will admit that until I read the transcript of the insane asylum bullshit that he says, I was like, well, this is the closest, like at least the Catholics are pedophiles. Right. At least the Q people at this point are picking someone who's actually part of that. the Q people at this point are picking someone who's actually part of that. You have identified an organization, which is a known pedophile apologist ring. Right.

I was like, all right. Yeah. All right. Yeah. But you got to hear where he goes with it. Yeah. And he's on the dead guy's show.

He's on crowd. The Mick, the Mick files, these churches in the systems like Notre Dame are burning for a reason. He says that, I'm sorry, already. He says the churches in these systems are burning for a reason. Did I miss a memo where lots of churches were catching on fire? I know that there's been like a church fire before, like that was popular,

but it was like, wasn't it like a black church or something? I don't know. You said it was popular, so it couldn't have been a black church. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, unless it was couldn't have been a black church. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, unless it was like co-opted by white people and then sold back to them. Yeah, and then sold back to them.

Ask yourself, is it from the enemy or is this part of the judgment? Okay, again, I'm sorry. I have to... Is his Twitter really at Patton6966? Yeah, I think it is. Yeah.

His Twitter, his Twitter is at Patton 6966. It's almost the, it's almost the quit order for that kid who was going to kill his friend.

It is. Yeah. Citation needed. From the boy convicted of conspiring to murder himself. It's amazing. All right,

I'm sorry. We have to start asking ourselves, when you start seeing these church fires, you need to ask yourself, who's it from? Because it can go either way. The maintenance guy! It can go either way? It could go the maintenance guy or the devil. It's one or the other. It's either Fred or Beelzebub.

It's one or the other. And it's not Fred because they're in France, so it's like Francoise or something. And it's not Fred because they're in France. So it's like Francoise or something. And so I want people, I want to be very careful how I say this is because you have to ask yourself,

who is it from? Is it from good or is it from the light side? I mean, I know God doesn't kill, steal, Is it from good or the light side?

Wait, what? Is the light the bad guys now? The light is the bad side? I'm very confused. I don't understand. You know what? I need some the bad guys now? Light is the bad side? I'm very confused. I don't understand. You know what?

I need some 6966 to help me out. 66. Is that when you like fucking get blown and blow a demon at the same time? 6966. Right? Yeah, I think so. I think that whole situation is just distracting.

Nobody can concentrate on their work. 6968 is where you do me, I'll do you later. So 69, 66 is you do my friend and I watch. I don't know. Destroy something, but there is a judgment side of God. And we have said this many times on this program that the church system is under judgment. Now ask yourself, why did that church catch fire?

I could tell you why that church caught fire. Terrible business, terrible practices when it comes to construction. That's why. Yeah, like, I don't know that we know the exact details, but I know they were doing renovations. Renovations often involve things which are, like, I'm thinking of like, like when I used to like strip furniture with my dad, like a long time, we refinish a piece of furniture.

He had this fucking like angry fucking wand thing that like got super hot. And you like held it. Did you ever do this? Like you hold it like over the paint and it like bubbles the paint up and melts the adhesive. It's like the most dangerous thing you can possibly have. Like there's lots of that shit when you're working construction, you know? Like, how many times have you been like,

like there's been, can't things just light on fire if it's like just like a fumes of- Spontaneous combustion can certainly be a thing. With certain fumes of certain types of chemicals that- When I was working on my first house, I had to check, I was putting a,

I was redoing a bathroom in the basement and the mixer valve in the basement, the mixer valve was like under this flight of stairs and like wedged between these two,

like two by fours, these studs. I remember this. I remember this. I had this blowtorch. I'm trying to sweat the copper. Yeah, because it was copper

all in there. Yeah. And like, and you lit the board on fire? Like a hundred times, like a hundred times. It's like, you're sweating this copper. Yeah, because it was copper all in there, yeah. And like... And you lit the board on fire? Like a hundred times! Like a hundred times! Like, you're sweating this copper. It's like immediately adjacent

to a stud, and you're like trying to like sweat the copper, sweat the solder to the copper. Without lighting the stuff. Yeah, and like I'm kind of like blowing like, and like my fucking house

is a little on fire at that point. Like it would have, I can see how something like that could happen. Sure. And like Notre Dame Cathedral, they did install sprinklers.

They had no modern sprinkler system in that cathedral. All they had was that thing that the priest walks around with and shakes the holy water. And that does not, it's not great. It's not great when you're, you know, the whole roof is on fire.

Birthday candles, tops for the thing. What's going on in that church and what you need to ask yourself and what's going on under the church chris it's a known fact that there are catacombs under that church oh my fucking god my favorite thing right now is these guys are so literalist yeah that they that they refuse to even like see a church as a building. And the church in this case would be metaphorical or allegorical. And the burning of it would represent like a taking down of like an ancient system.

No, no. Yeah. No, no, that's not. That might be where you think you're going. If you like read a book once and you have an education. No, they're like, they're burning the church down because the church as a physical structure is what is housing the catacomb tunnels. And again, more literal,

where they're like, they're going underground. Right. Where instead of like, where they think like the Underground Railroad had a real choo-choo in it. Yeah, I know. Where you're just like- We did a lot of digging.

It's just like, you realize the Underground Railroad is not underground. And know. You know, where you're just like- We did a lot of digging. It's just like, you realize the Underground Railroad is not underground. And the same thing here, where you're just like, yeah, just because you're saying like, a pedophile ring is happening underground doesn't mean it's literally happening underground.

Under the ground. Like they meet Harriet Tubman, they're like, that's not a dude in a bathtub. What the fuck? I feel very conflicted right now. You've never been to Paris? No, I've never been to Paris.

Okay, so I've been to Paris many times. I used to have to do work there. At one point, I did go visit the catacombs. Yeah. And it's just fucking dark. Like, it's just dark. Like, there's nothing under there. It's just like there's a bunch of bones.

Like, you'll walk by and they'll be like, and there's a giant cavern over on the side and a bunch of bones. And you'll walk by and they'll be like, and there's a giant cat like cavern over on the side and a bunch of bones. And there's dudes down there with flashlights that are just like, go this way, go this way, go this way. And then you just walk, wander around an area where they, you know, ran out of space to bury humans. So they were just like, well,

move the fucking bones downstairs. Like there's, I don't, it's a cataclysm. When he's saying like, look what's underground. What's underground is years and years of bones of people who were buried in a, in a graveyard that they've exhumed and then stuffed down in the catacombs. Yeah. That's it. It's a cat,

like that's what the words mean. Yeah. That's what catacombs are. That's what it is. Like we shouldn't be surprised that the catacombs are what catacombs are defined as being. They literally can't be a different thing. And it's one of those places too, you can't like get a photo

because there's no flash allowed. Oh, okay. And there's no flash. Like I was, there was two or three times I tried to take a flash picture and the guy would yell at you, no flash, no flash, no flash.

So you can't take, you can take a photo and he'd be like, I'll shine the light at it, but it looked like shit. It looked like a fucking, looked like a UFO skeleton. Right.

And you're just like, well, that's nothing. Who cares? Can I, could you pay extra for like an old timey tour with like a blazing torch? Oh, that would be amazing.

Because I would, especially if the guy was like in a, like a Grim Reaper outfit. Like crouched all crazy with a gravelly voice. Get the guy, get the guy's costume

from Scrooged at the end and put like a fucking big lantern in his hand. I'd take that tour tomorrow. Are you kidding me? This is why you got to take a tour like that in Eastern Europe because you know you can pay a guy to do that. There's a guy on the street in that costume right now.

There are tunnels under that church. We've talked about that many times on your program here where you're going to see churches expose ministries, seminaries that have tunnels under them that have been involved in sex trafficking, human trafficking, human sacrifice.

Why would you fuck a kid above ground? What the fuck? People get murdered above ground. Also, you can transport things above ground. Also, there's kids that are altar boys or whatnot who would even notice if you went to a church yeah and you go into the church and you see a kid and he's in the

altar boy outfit and you don't know he's human traffic stole from fucking some faraway land and the kid he's got every night he's got a like six priests lined up to lay him down you wouldn't know right you just be like oh he's just he's the one who brings out the bread you wouldn't know. Right. You'd just be like, oh, he's just, he's the one who brings out the bread. You wouldn't, you would have no idea because it's not like you know every kid. There's like this weird intersection right now between like a child's hyper literalism and then like the like almost grotesque way of connecting not connected dots that conspiracy theorists have, you know? Right, right. So conspiracy theorists are really good at being like, this thing means that thing.

So what they do is they reassign meaning all the time. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. But like to do that in a way that is literal rather than metaphorical is kind of a weird new space. Yeah. And when I see somebody in that space, I'm like, oh, this is what this would look like if a not particularly precocious fourth grader was off his lithium. is because it opens up more options for them to point, for them to like look at and say, this means this, right? So like, if you look at it only figuratively or you look at it only literally, then you're missing part of it, right?

But this opens it up. It's like, imagine if you did the Bible code forward and backwards. You know, like suddenly that opens up a whole new way for me to interpret this how I want to interpret this. So the reason why you do it this way is so that you leave yourself every avenue to fit your interpretation into it. Does that make sense? It does. Yeah.

It's perfect. It's like, yeah, this snake is both literally a snake and also metaphorically like a demon representing sin. Like it's all and both. Yeah. And whatever's convenient for me to answer the question. That's exactly it. Whatever's convenient. I mean, there are satanic rituals going on

in these churches and ministries. They're trafficking these kids and these people under these tunnels. And so we got to ask ourselves these tough questions. So whenever you see a fire somewhere, I'm not going to paint them all the same, but you need to start asking yourself these tough questions. Okay, was it from the enemy or is this from the judgment? Because unfortunately, there's been stuff going on in these places.

Well, how would you, let's say you ask yourself that question. How would you fucking answer it? How would you know the difference between God's judgment on something and the enemy burning down a righteous location? He's the person, though. You just ask a firefighter? Well, you ask Q, or you ask the firefighter, or you ask... Ask a guy on Twitter whose handle is 6966.

That's the guy I'm going to ask? A guy with a fucking demon dick sucking fucking Twitter handle you know you know what's interesting is like

like he's some guy we're just some guy too right so we're all just some guy right but I would never make first off I'd never make that claim

but if I did make a claim like that I would be like here is my evidence for said claim I wouldn't just be like yeah God told me so because you wouldn't just be like here's a thing told me so. Because you wouldn't just be like, here's a thing that's true.

Why is it true? I don't know. I thought at one time. Or God told me. There's no... Even the things that I think are true that I have like, that's like, I think the world probably works like this. I will phrase it in such a way as to say like,

you know, it seems likely to me that. Right, right, right. Or, you know, like, I feel like the world probably works in this way. Like, right. Cause you couch it. So as not to seem fucking sure of things,

you have no reason to be sure of. It's right. It's being exposed. And if something gets exposed out of one of these fires, you're going to see it firsthand. Well, I'll tell you what, you're not going to get any,

anything exposed in those catacombs. Cause they won't let you use flash. So, fuck those guys. I paid $17 to go down there. I can't even get a fucking photograph. Ah, shit. Here we go again. This story comes from the Washington Post.

Sri Lanka Easter bombings, a retaliation for Christchurch mosque shootings, says official. So, I do want to say that I read a couple of articles. It's not really definitive. And it's not definitive because two different groups took credit, right? ISIS, who takes credit anytime something bad happens, right?

ISIS is like, your kid has a fever. That was ISIS. They too, like, Al-Qaeda did the same shit. They were like, whenever something happened. There was an earthquake? That's our secret Muslim Racists. They do. Like, Al-Qaeda did the same shit. They were like, whenever it, whenever it,

there was an earthquake, that's our secret Muslim earthquake terrorist machine. Yeah. Like, they take credit for fucking that. Yeah, they did the same thing.

Yeah. And then a more local Muslim extremist group took credit for the same thing. Right. In Sri Lanka. So,

it's not 100% clear who the actors were. So I want to say that. But there is some reason to think based on what some of the people have said that may have been involved. Right. That like that motherfucker

who shot up the mosques in Christchurch in New Zealand. Yeah. With the intent to incite the world, basically, is responsible now for these deaths in part two. Not fully. I do want to be clear about that. Not fully, right? Right.

Because like, if you punch me in the face and I shoot your child, you're not responsible because you punched me in the face. Like, retaliation in this way is not justified. There's no way that you can say, like- Sure, I get it. I just want to be clear about it for the fucking audience. You don't want to be like,

I got you an angry man. Like, I don't need that shit. So, but it is nice to see that, like, the world is deteriorating in this way. Right. Where we're not even sure, like, which religiously motivated mass killing sparked the other religiously motivated mass killing?

Well, and in a way, you got to think like, at least in a devious way, this is what you'd want to do, right? You'd want to make sure that people, that you took advantage of this particular moment to do something like this, right? To try to sow more dissent between these two religions

because you know that it's going to reap more dividends in the future. Because if you can now go kill a bunch of Christians, now you're going to get all the American talk show people talking about it. You've killed a bunch of Christians now. It's tactically a smart thing to do. It really is, which is probably why two groups took credit for it, right? Right, right.

Yeah. What's distressing is that we have a series of bombings across a country and there's more than one group of extremists who are like, I'd like that to be at my doorstep. Right. Like nobody should want that at their doorstep. We should live in a world

where everybody condemns that. Right. Instead of like, that's tactically useful to my political purposes. The slaughter of 200 innocent people. Yeah. The fuck is going on? And again, this was an Easter celebration

where this happened. This was an Easter celebration and people are just going about their day. Burning Jewish effigies like you do. Very busy with that sort of thing. Well, you know, the two things that happened, one of them, they both happened in a church for a reason, right? That's happening in these churches.

These are tactical decisions on their part. They're making these choices to do this sort of thing. For sure, yeah. And there's nothing to say that, you know, this happens like two weeks ago or what was something like that two weeks ago, maybe a week and a half ago? Week and a half, two weeks, yeah.

And then that, you know, that guy runs over a bunch of kids. We talked about that earlier. The guy who runs his car into a bunch of people. These types of things tend to happen in big groups. Now it's going to be, is it going to be, are we in the new normal of retaliation for giant bombing

is new giant bombing. Retaliation for shooting is new shooting. And they just keep going on and on and on where it's, yeah, it's tit for tat. It's constant. Because that could be the new normal. This could be what our for tat. It's constant. I mean, because we could, that could be the new normal. This could be what our life is. Well, our new normal sucks, man.

Absolutely. Our new normal sucks. Yeah. Are we considered acceptable lawsuits? Well, Jenny, let's bring it down just a notch here for a second. Okay, when we look at autism, 75% of kids with autism,

there's demonstrated change that the child has in the first year of life before they get to this period when they're getting the measles uh mom's german measles vaccine yes on the measles i'll take that way over autism any day fuck us man this is from npr is our local wbez 91.5 station here in chicago uh the measles cases in the u.s reach highest count in 25 years 25 years ago the word eradicated was the word that was being thrown around

to describe measles within the United States. 2000. 2000, they said they eradicated it. So, 18 years ago. 19 years ago. And we are now at a place where it's like,

oh, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Remember eradicated? What we really mean is highest number in a quarter decade. Thanks, Jenny McCarthy. Thanks. Yeah, thanks, Wakefield. Andrew Wakefield. we really mean is highest number in a quarter decade uh thanks jenny mccarthy thanks yeah thanks wakefield andrew wakefield thanks all you fucking internet experts right like all those people who think that googling something is a way to get significant medical information that is actionable all those like thanks a culture where we have the mistaken idea that we don't

value experts and expertise, because that's part of this shit too. It's a significant part of this where it's like, ah, anybody can read anything. Oh, all right, great. All information is fucking giant equal sign. I read something, you read something. I have an opinion, you have an opinion. This is valid. That's equally fucking valid. Like we've descended, we've descended into a democratization of information where rather than good information being readily accessible to everybody, which would be the charitable version, what we've descended into is all information is also therefore equal. All information is equal, yeah. And that's, you got measles. This literally is a direct result of a mindset like that. Yeah. You know, what's interesting to me is that it plays out as such a first world problem, right? It's like

you don't have anything else to worry about in the world you have no other little dramas that are playing out in your life so instead you're going to focus hyper focus on this one thing that you know we can eradicate we can get rid of but instead you're you're now like wait what is that i don't understand why we're doing why are we doing all this stuff and it's and it's because of the you know i don't don't want to say prosperity, but because of the lack of disease, right? Because this worked so well, measles is, the measles vaccine is so good at what it does. Yeah. Yeah. It's amazing. Is that, that's why we're even having this conversation because if there were enough people and there were enough examples

of people being injured by the measles, there wouldn't even be a discussion. You would be like, no, why would we do this? You're fucking right. Yeah. Because people would be clamoring for a solution. They would be looking for a solution.

Right. But it's so good. Yeah. It's such a first world problem. Yeah. Because it's like, well, it's so good at what it does, I'm going to nitpick

Yeah. at the vaccine injury, which is one in a million or something. I don't at what it does. I'm going to nitpick at the vaccine injury, which is one in a million or something. I don't know what it is. And I'm not going to, I don't want to quote a number because I don't know what the vaccine injury is, but it's low. It's very, very low. It's certainly much lower than 9% of the people who have gotten this are in the hospital, right? It's lower than that. You know, I saw somebody posted a meme and it was, it showed the statistics of the amount of people that drowned this last year, kids who drowned this last year in the different places in the United States. And then all the people who died from measles. And there was zeros, all zeros. If America really cared about how people are dying, you would, there would, you know, there would be better, there would be swim classes for kids

rather than these measles things. It's the lobby that's doing it. I don't know if I'm recreating the meme for you correctly, but you understand what I mean, right? It's like, they're pointing at this thing that's happening and saying, we don't care enough about kids learning how to swim. We care about these measles things.

Maybe it's the billion dollar industry that's behind it. But here's the thing. When you think about that, when you just even think about, let's just use kids swimming as an example. We already do things to prevent that from happening, right? We already do things. And swimming in itself is an inherently dangerous activity, right? You're immersing yourself in a liquid you cannot breathe in, right? So you're putting your entire body in a liquid you can't breathe in right? So you're putting your entire body in a liquid you can't breathe in that you can't probably stand up in because why would you swim if you could stand up in it? So you're in a thing that can go over your head. You are basically putting yourself

in a drowning pool. You are putting yourself there. And we do have mechanisms, they're called lifeguards, and they're on the outside, right? Now, what do you do to get the measles? You live. You just live. You just exist. That's it. That's all you have to do to get the measles. I'm not putting myself in harm's way just to fucking, if I go on a bus or go to an airport or whatever, why should I be put in harm's way?

It's a silly way to think about it because you're comparing apples and oranges. And your prior point, Cecil, is very well met, right? Because like the effectiveness of the vaccine in some ways it's now is its new undoing, right? Because what people feel like is the vaccine solves a problem that does not exist. Exactly, right. Rather than understanding that the problem does not exist because the vaccine fucking solved it. Right. And like- The zero, zero, zero is because of herd immunity. Right.

It's not because there is no deaths from measles. It's that it's zero, zero, zero in the United States because of herd immunity. And it also makes me crazy when we only look at disease and measure fatality as the only- Right. As the only measure of awfulness. Like, the sickest I've ever been. I'm still alive, right? Still alive.

I'm still here. So obviously no disease has ever killed me. Sickest I've ever been was meningitis. It sucked real bad. Like on a scale from one to, I really don't want that again. I really don't want that again. I recovered.

I'm fine. No ill effects. Two weeks out of work and that's it. I'm good to go. Right? So, but nonetheless, it was a bad experience. Sure. It was fucking awful.

There are lots of diseases which are just bad experiences we don't have to have. Fatality is a, it's a zero sum measure. Yeah. Right? It's a shitty measure. It's a stupid measure. It's a shitty measure. It's a foolish measure. And it's funny measure. It's a shitty measure. It's a foolish measure.

And it's funny that you bring up swimming because I would imagine, and I don't know this to be true, but I would be very surprised if I were wrong. If you were to compare deaths by drowning 40, 50, 60 years ago compared to today, my guess is that they would be much higher because we have all kinds of things in place now

where we have insurance regulations. You want to put a swimming pool in your house? Awesome. My insurance company won't let me do it unless I put a fence in and that fence meets certain requirements. And then I put a fence around the pool and that fence has a removable ladder, et cetera, et cetera.

You don't get the number to zero with any kind of human harm effect. The likelihood of getting the harm all the way to zero is pretty low, right? But what you do is you narrow the funnel. You keep making more and more decisions that narrow the funnel to reduce or mitigate the risk. We do that all the time. Maybe we will have measles forever. Maybe we'll never smallpox that fucking thing. But like, if every decision we made narrows that funnel

and less people get it, like that's an overall good. I don't get it. And you know, there was a link to the Hasidic community in New York because they were,

two of the cases spread out of that. And then they spread out into 22 states are now, but there's the two cases are the Hasidic community who got it from, I want to say the Ukraine. So starts in the Ukraine, goes to Israel, and then people from the Hasidic community come back from Israel. And then a lot of, not a lot,

but enough of them are unvaccinated and there's enough kids and families and enough interaction where it starts spreading very quickly. And they were saying that 90% of the people who come into contact with measles, 90% of those people will get the measles if they're unvaccinated.

That's how virulent that disease is. That's why we do this. We don't do this because we're just like, oh, you know, it's no big deal, whatever. It's not, you know, it's just the measles and they're kind of hard to get. No, they're real easy to get. That's why we went to all the trouble to make a vaccine

because they're easy to get because your body immediately, 90% of the time is just like, cool, I'll take that. I have the measles, right. I'll take that for a while. I could go to the hospital. 9% of the people who've's just like, cool, I'll take that. I'll take that for a while. I could go to the hospital. 9% of the people who've gotten this are in the hospital. Had hospital stays, 9%.

Now, there's been no deaths, but that doesn't mean it's not horrible for the people who have had it. Well, the thing about how financially devastating it is too. It also doesn't preclude people from dying from this in the future. They've gone through so many measures in New York. They're mandating, they're not mandating vaccines, but they're basically saying you will be fined if

you're not vaccinated, if you don't have a vaccine. You can't come into public places if you don't have the vaccine. They're telling you to stay home, stay out of school. And to be honest, I think that's how you got to deal with this. This is a public health issue. This isn't a private, you know, your libertarian market ideal or whatever. This is a public health issue. Herd immunity, the only reason why those numbers we talked about earlier exist is because of herd immunity. They don't exist because, you know, it's hard to get. They exist because a vast majority of people are vaccinated. That's why they exist. Did you get an MMR vaccine? We talked about it. I didn't. I did not either. I got

measles when I was a kid. I didn't get it because I was allergic to eggs. And so I wasn't able to get a number of vaccines that were incubated. Are you going to get it? I've already gotten it because I'm no longer allergic to it. When I was a young person, I didn't have it. So I was one of those people relying on herd immunity. Yeah. You know? There's a couple people that I know personally

that rely on herd immunity. That's why I bring it's a couple people that I know personally that rely on herd immunity. That's why I bring it up. It's like, you know, babies are reliant on it. Immuno-compromised people, people with severe allergies to certain things

are reliant. Like, more people than you think, I guess is what I'm saying, are relying on herd immunity. So, it's not just an act for you.

It is also an act for the greater good of the society that you benefit from being a part of. It's also an act for the greater good of the society that you benefit from being a part of. It's an obligation. I think it's a social moral obligation.

I do think that anti-vaxxers, I think they have the best interests of people in mind. Right. I don't think they're bad people. I don't think they're awful human beings

because they think this stuff. I think that they genuinely don't think they're awful human beings because they think this stuff. I think that they genuinely don't want, I don't know anybody who thinks it's like the MMR vaccine is like a fucking mind control or anything. I don't know anybody like that, right? They just think if it's causing injury and it's causing injury

at a rate higher than what's reported, you know, then they're scared. And they don't want other people to be injured by it. So I understand, you know, I think that this position comes from a position of empathy in some ways. And so I do, I see it. And I also, at one point in my life was like, I wasn't so sure. Right. I agree with you, man. Like, I don't think that they're wrong in the sense that they're trying to be wrong. I think they're trying to do the right thing. Yeah.

I think they're trying to become educated on a topic that they are nervous about, right? And I feel like a big part of the problem, though, is that we don't know how to become educated on things. We don't know who our experts are. We don't know how to trust the right people and how to weed out

good information from bad. We just have this fucking buckets of information and we start looking at things and it's difficult to parse out the good from the bad, the reliable from the unreliable. And like,

man, I feel bad that people don't have that skill. That's a skill we can't do a disservice. We can't continue to do disservice to people by not imparting everybody we can with that skill. It's essential to a functioning modern society. I just think that there's a generation that all of a sudden woke up

and had not just the Encyclopedia Britannica at their disposal, but the Encyclopedia Insanica at their disposal. And somebody shuffled all the pages together and said, you've no idea what to trust here.

Look it up yourself. And like, that's just like, I think hopefully it's one generation that gets fucked up in this Yeah. And like, that's a, that's all, that's just like, I think hopefully it's one generation. Yeah. That gets fucked up in this way. Anonymous. Anonymous. Anonymous.

This is from Right Wing Watch. Dave Hayes, Trump is locked in a literal fight to the death with the deep state oh the deep state i was missing the deep state did you see any do you hear any bars thing today no i didn't yeah no what do you say uh you know there's a lot of it's just all it is is just like a lot of evasion just you know because he's a lawyer right so he knows what he's doing and he knows how to evade these questions. They tried to really pin him down and there's been people who have called for his resignation

because of some of the testimony he's given. But at one point, Lindsey Graham today, he's doing the interview of Barr and he comes out with the first part of it. They get to read their little statement, right? So before they start the actual questioning- They get the soapbox for a little while. So one of the things he says is he's like, no collusion, this and this. And so they broke in

on MSNBC after he said that. And they said, we normally don't do this. We normally just go gavel to gavel, but we wanted to mention that he's incorrect. The only reason we're saying that no collusion is a thing is because collusion isn't actually a legal term. That's why he's saying it, but there was plenty of, you know, examples of collusion and this is really just him,

you know, being a Trump bootlicker is basically what they said. Nice. And so they broke in and then they broke back out, but they basically fact-checked him while he was talking

and they cut him off. Real-time fact-checking. Yeah, real-time fact-checked him. So, yeah. All right, so I'm going to play this. This is a guy. Real quick, I did see that Mueller criticized the Barr report

for saying it did not capture the content or the context and the nature of his report. Like, he's like, that is not a good book report. No. He was like, that is a bad book report. He came out and said that, and that's one of the reasons why they even had this. And they questioned him an insane amount of that today. I didn't watch all the testimony. I only watched a lot of the reasons why they even had this. And they questioned him an insane amount of that today.

I didn't watch all the testimony. I only watched a lot of the clips, but many times throughout the day, he's very slick. And so he's just kind of just slippery and doesn't answer questions. But there was a lot of good rhetoric, I think, certainly on the side that I like. The other side just felt like they were just like,

you know, basically giving him a hand job and saying he him a hand job and saying he did a great job. Grassley, by the way, is the oldest human being I've ever seen in my entire life. I know. Oh my God.

He's like, imagine if you take fucking like the oldest Jimmy Stewart was in a movie and like multiply it by a hundred. Like he feels like, he feels like, do you remember how old Bob Dole felt? Do you remember how old,

like remember when that was, when that was happening? And everyone was just like, Jesus old Bob Dole felt? Do you remember how old, remember when that was happening? And everyone was just like, Jesus, Bob Dole, holy fuck. Right. That's how old he feels. Bob Dole doesn't age. I can't imagine anybody voting for that guy in their district. All right, so this is Dave Hayes from his show. I don't know, somebody's show.

Sarah Carter published an article. Mueller's report ends the witch hunt, but what is about to unfold is the real story. And Q posted a link to her Twitter page. Oh, Jesus fucking Christ. Q. Oh my God. Q retweeted something.

Look out, guys. What more credible event could we have? An anonymous person retweeted someone. That's what we're talking about nowadays there we go someone retweeted a tweet holy shit oh oh my god that's not the easiest fucking thing you can do with your finger are you kidding me uh yesterday and then the article and the article explains that the Mueller blockade is now behind the president and his allies and him are preparing to go on offense and drop the hammer. And these corrupt people are going to go to jail. If you're following.

Which corrupt people? Because the corrupt people that the Mueller report seems to implicate, first of all, many of them are currently headed to jail. That one guy, one guy's going to be there for a long time. Yeah, Manafort? Yeah, Manafort's going to be there for a while. Manafort's ostrich suits will not fit when he gets his prison bod. Hope he can keep warm with his fucking fur line coat or whatever the fuck it is. Following the president on Twitter.

Oh my gosh. Treason, treason, treason. Every other tweet. Yeah, everything he says is treasonous. It's like this thing, you know? Man, it's almost like he also doesn't know what that word means. And then he didn't even bother to Google it.

Yeah. Like, yeah. What treason means to Trump is that if you're against me, you're treason it. Yeah. Like, yeah. What treason means to Trump is that if you're against me, you're treasonous. Right. If you, if you are, if you think I'm a, I'm not good at my job, you're treasonous. It's funny because that used to be fake news. Right. Right. It used to be that bad news was fake news. Right. And that was the new definition of fake was unfavorable. Right. Like unfavorable opinions of me are now fake. Right.

And now where we are is unfavorable opinions of me are un-American. Yeah. And now we've taken that another step and said un-American is treasonous. Un-American. And not respecting me or not respecting me is all treasonous. Treasonous is a big bucket. Right. It's the biggest bozo bucket in the world.

That the president puts out. He's talking about treason. He's talking about this can never be allowed to happen again. These people have to be stopped. And I would just say this, look, this is a zero sum game. When Trump, an outsider, decided to run for president and he was approached by the military. Well, okay.

All right. All ready. Okay. Cecil, you're doing that eye rub thing you do when you're like exhausted by the bullshit. Approached by the military. Military? When what happened is all the military,

all of them. Well, got together. They were in a big room. At their secret club. They were in the catacombs, you see. Oh, they were underground. They had just flushed the catacombs out and they had a, they had a secret underground meeting.

And so they all, it was a lot of people. So you get some Chick-fil-A, but it got cold. Yeah. Couldn't do it on Sunday. Yeah. No, it's a holdover. Don't be ridiculous. Holdover.

I mean, that's not good. And then they were like, well, we got to get a president that likes the military. Because up until now, America hasn't gobbled the fucking knob of the military hard enough. And, you know, we got this sweet new jet we really need to use. So is there anything that we could do to facilitate that? I mean, not like start a war in a country and lie about weapons of mass destruction. Not like that.

No, no. Not like that. Because they wanted to take down corruption. It became a zero-sum game. It's a fight to the death. Trump and the generals are either going to eradicate, lock up, and in some cases, execute treasonous, traitorous, corrupt...

Isn't that a Q? Isn't that a coup? Yeah. A Q. I said a Q, but a coup? Isn't that a... Well, no, because he still retains power. So I don't think that would be... Although he doesn't have complete powers. I don't think that would be a Q but a coup? Isn't that a... Well, no, because he still retains power. So I don't think that would be...

Although he doesn't have complete powers. I don't think that would be a Q. A coup? We keep doing that. You got me doing it. We keep doing it. You got me doing it. It's a Q.

So I don't know. A coup? I don't know if that would be a coup. It's a coup. A coup? Would that be a coup or no? Is that a sedan? That's what that is.

That's a sedan. Is that a two-door? Is that an SUV? Is that a hatchback? So we got? That's what that is. That's a sedan. Is that a two-door? Is that an SUV? Is that a hatchback? So we got to get the military to flush out the corruption. Except for, you remember that guy who once Trump announced his plans for Afghanistan and he was like the head of the fucking whatever. And he was just like, that's some bullshit.

And he wrote that letter. Yeah, Mathis. Mathis. Mathis. And he wrote a letter like- He's defense secretary, right? I don. And he wrote that letter. Yeah, Mathis. Mathis. Mathis. And he wrote a letter like, He's defense secretary, right? I don't think I can defense anymore. Yeah, he quit. So that general. Not that one. Not that one. Not that one. But previously,

it was that one when he was hired. What about him? By the guy he hired. There's another general who's been, had his hands, General Flynn, right? Yeah, right. Also had his hands in some things. Yeah. There's been a couple of generals

that have got deep stated. Corrupt, evil people. They're going to be destroyed or else they're going to destroy Trump and his family. That is what's going to happen. Well, those generals have nothing to worry about. That's kind of awesome actually to be a general because you get to go manipulate

Trump to do what you want and then the only person who's going to get destroyed is Trump if it fails because the generals are scot-free except for that one general who's in jail, but the other one's totally scot-free. Isn't that like very literally what generals do though? It's like

it's going to either work out for you. I either send it to someone else. Look, I'm not going to do it. It's like, all right, it's going to either work out for you. All right, then send it to someone else. Look, I'm not going. I'm not doing it. I'm the general. Let me put my bayonet on my general gun.

Said no general in recent fucking history. I guess it's true. Generals don't get in trouble. Hey, how'd that work out? Dead people. Good?

I don't know. I'm the general. I literally don't know. I'm the general. I literally don't care. I'm still eating steak tonight. What are you going to do? Like, you're going to fire me from my job?

Oh, gosh. Also, I don't know how the military works. So, I just want to say. I don't think the general's like, no, the general's not.

Let me suit up and go stab somebody or whatever. I just watched the Game of Thrones thing, and I'm not going to spoil it for anybody. Was it a season finale? It wasn't.

Everybody's talking about it. It wasn't. It wasn't. But it was a big culmination part of the plot. Okay. And one of the things that happened was, is they all lined up, but like all the important characters

were in the front line. And I'm just like, why the fuck are all the important characters in the front line? Like, fuck that. Like, I'd be in the back and be like, you unsullied motherfuckers take care of this. I'm in the back.

Also, like, if you die first, who's in charge now? The less qualified people. Just, like, I know we're joking about, like, but, like, it can't make sense the other way. It's like, I'm really good at strategy. Well, you should die first. Yeah, we should put you in the front. Well, then the less good guy is in

charge of being in charge. Trump is either going to win this battle and the deep state will be eradicated and eliminated, or they're going to come after him and defeat him and kill him and his family. Jesus Christ, it's one or the other, huh? I guess. Can it just, can it, is there

anybody who can wind up with just like nothing happens and there is no deep state? Is that a possibility? So, first of all, that's certainly what's going to happen. Yeah. But if it's not, I don't know which one I'm hoping for because I can't say it out loud.
