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.

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.

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.
Alright, so that is going to wrap it up for this week we're not going to do any email this week um and we're not going to thank our patrons until next week but we are going to thank all our
