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
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 at. This is episode 474 of Cognitive Dissonance. And Cecil,
I have a secret plan to
make this the best episode
ever. Now, it's been
signed by myself and Mexico.
I would show it to you. Can you just hold it up
to the light so we can take a photograph of it
and then I can see exactly what's in it? I know!
The Washington Post! Okay, so
that's the fucking best.
So idiot-ass Trump has a secret fucking plan.
Secret, very secret. And like you do with secret plans,
first of all, secret plans are almost never real plans, right?
Nixon had a secret plan to end the war in Vietnam.
Then we elected him for his secret plan
to end the war in Vietnam,
and he escalated the war in Vietnam.
There was no plan.
Nobody with a secret plan
ever has a plan. They don't have a plan, but they want your confidence anyway. Yeah. Because if they
had a plan, they'd be like, I got a great plan. Here's the fucking plan. Let me elucidate that
plan. Let me tell you all the steps that are involved in this plan. Instead, it's just like,
I have a secret. You'd be proud of your plan. Secret. It's a secret.
It's such a secret.
I can't even tell you
that I have a secret.
I can't even,
I can't even broadly outline it for you.
And I love that he's got a secret plan
to end the trade,
the impending trade war he created.
It's like,
I got a solution to the problem I created.
He's exactly.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
He's exactly like an abuser.
Like, he's an abuser. Like, that's what abusers
do, is they create crises to
gaslight you, and then
they fix
it so that you feel like a savior. It's like
he's been gaslighting America for, like,
three years.
Look, I got a secret plan on how I
don't beat you.
God, at this point, I'll take the beating, Tom.
We're all taking a beating.
I want to talk about Pelosi for a second.
We talked a couple of weeks ago.
You and I talked about what should she do?
Should she follow the rule of law and do impeachment?
Or should she go the other way and instead you know, instead do other things and, you know, just vote him out.
And then, like you said, now there's an opportunity to actually charge him with crimes because
sitting presidents can't be charged. At least that's what we learned from Mueller a couple
of weeks ago. So sitting presidents can't be charged. So as long as he's out, there's a
possibility that he'll actually face justice. So there's more justice if we wait in some ways.
But I saw a graph recently,
and I want to read the numbers off of it.
This is the number of people who are interested
in Pelosi's plans, things that she wants to get done,
versus how many people are for impeachment.
So I'm going to read these off.
Background checks for nearly all gun sales,
94% support it.
This is-
94% of just randomly-
Americans views on provisions of six bills.
So this is Americans views on six bills.
I don't, it doesn't look like they just pulled Democrats.
It looks like it's across the board.
Okay.
Path to citizenship for some young undocumented people,
79%, 18% oppose.
Banning discrimination on sexual orientation
or gender identity, 71% of people are for that.
Allowing felons to vote post-incarceration, 69%.
Automatic voting registration, 65%. Making election day a
federal holiday, 65%. Allowing same-day voter registration nationally, we have that in Illinois.
64%. Actually, 22, I think it's 22 states have that, but only Illinois is one of them.
states have that, but only Illinois is one of them. Keeping US and the Paris Climate Agreement 60%, barring companies from asking about your previous pay. That's a weird one out of nowhere,
52%. Starting impeachment proceedings against Trump, take a guess. It's lower than 52, Tom.
40%. 41. 41. 54% against.
Yeah, I think that's a part of why Pelosi said she doesn't want to do it.
She doesn't want to make that move when the political climate and the larger American attitude toward impeachment is not really strong
because that's just going to galvanize a 2020 win for Trump,
like we were talking about.
And then everybody loses.
Then you don't impeach him, and then you get that fucking asshole for Trump. Yeah. Like we were talking about. And that's, then everybody loses. Then you don't impeach him
and then you get that fucking asshole
for another four years.
And then it's,
and then it's deadlocked
because chances are
it's going to be another
Democratic House again.
Right.
And then,
hopefully,
hopefully,
we don't even know,
you know,
like I'm saying that,
but I don't even know at this point.
It's interesting because,
you know,
when you think about,
when you think about what Trump is,
what Trump is,
and how bad it is, you know, under under Trump when it comes to all the lying and the deceiving and the bullshit and just the constant eroding of all of the, I don't know, the decent institutions of this country.
You think about how bad that is.
But I'll tell you what, I'd be okay with a lot of those things that I just mentioned.
Like so many of those things.
Yeah, I want all of those things.
I think all of those things
would be a huge step
in the right direction
for this country.
So it's like,
if we can get those things.
But again,
I don't know that you can get those things.
That's the other problem,
is that you're deadlocked in the Senate.
Today, Mitch McConnell
decided that he didn't want to,
you know, he didn't want to, you know, fight.
He didn't want to pass anything against against stopping Russia from hacking future elections.
Mitch McConnell is the worst person, the fucking cock blocker of America.
All he does is make sure that we don't get anything good ever. Yeah. Like, who is opposed to, like, preventing
hostile foreign nations
from continuing
to erode our democratic process?
Yeah.
Like, it's not like,
oh, well, maybe it won't happen.
It's fucking happened twice now.
It happened in 2016.
And all the security agencies
have all agreed
it also happened in 2018.
And so, it will happen happened in 2018. Yeah.
And so it will happen again in 2020.
It's definitely going to happen.
Like, is this like this?
And we can't even decide we don't want that to happen.
Well, I think everybody has decided that they don't want it to happen.
I think the problem is that these people that are in power,
I mean, they are making a correlation
between Mitch McConnell and the fact
that he's
getting money from lobbyists and the people who run the automatic voting machines or whatever
they call them, the electronic voting machines. That lobby is paying for some things and that
is convincing him to not vote against this or to vote against this or not bring this up.
When I also think that it might be seen as a sort of a de facto, like,
okay, the Russians did influence it. Cause what Trump has said, Trump has said, you know, time
and time again, that the Russians had no impact on the election. So if we were to fix something
that had no impact previously, there's an admission there. And so rather than admitting the facts of the world,
rather than fixing a problem that literally threatens to erode our democracy, we would
rather take a fucking shitty political win. This is how we go out. This is it.
That's what it's about. It's the shitty political win. I mean, this is a Facebook thread.
the shitty political win.
It's the,
I mean, this is a,
this is a Facebook thread.
Yeah.
This is a fighting Facebook thread.
Yes.
That's all this is.
Our government
has turned into,
you have,
when you go to the voting booth
from now on,
you can either do a happy face,
an angry face,
a sad face,
or a hearty.
Those are what you get to do.
You could do a thumbs up.
You hear me right now on this.
The day I go to the voting booth
and I can vote with an emoji,
there will be a single gunshot and a thump.
And I'm done.
It'll be the shot heard around the booth.
I swear to God, I will not walk out.
I'll vote with my bullet.
I am done.
I swear to God.
Checking out.
Checking out.
After this, Neo, there is no turning back.
Take the blue binaca
and you get a wonderful gush of pepperminty awesomeness. Take the red binaca and you get a wonderful gush of pepperminty awesomeness.
Take the red binaca and you get a spicy tingle of cinnamon freshness.
Remember, all I'm offering is fresh breath.
Whoa.
So refreshing.
Holy shit.
Here we go, buddy.
Let's just jump right in, Tom.
We missed two weeks of this.
All on my fucking board.
This is the crazy train right wing watch. Dave Hayes has been called to red pill the Q movement about God. If by the way, that didn't make any sense to you. Don't worry. Don't worry. It didn't
make any sense to anybody. This is going to be amazing. Alright, so here he is on his
I want to call it a show, but it's just him talking
into a webcam. In his fucking living
room or whatever. His curtains and
shit are behind him. The shitty painting behind
him. A lot of you
are following me because
I don't think so.
What do you mean by a lot?
What do you mean by a lot?
Let's go into this for a second. What's a lot?
Well, I guess if you're watching the video,
a lot of the people following me that are watching my video,
yeah, 100% of the people watching this are seeing it.
Of my Q decodes.
And we like to red pill normies about Q.
Hey, man, how much do you love that phrase?
How much do you love it?
Does red pill mean rape?
It doesn't not.
That's all I'm saying.
Like, it would be great if he was like,
we'd love to roofie normies.
Oh shit.
Whoopsie.
Yeah.
Okay.
We shouldn't red pill the red pill.
Never red pill the red pill that's what we should never red pill the red pill
with his knowledge
he's Brock Turner-ing me
next to a garbage can
my knees are all
scraped up
we're gonna
Kavanaugh the norm
is what we're gonna do
what are you gonna do
Tobin and Squee
you're gonna fucking
pull a train on you
Tobin and Squee
lift your weights and squee again oh god going to fucking pull a train on you. No, but it's squee.
Lift your weight, you're squee again.
Oh, God. Give me a break.
I hate that phrase, beyond normies. Oh, my God. Well, it's just red
pill and normies, and you're just like,
I hate it so much.
Wake up, sheeple.
It makes me hate the
Matrix. I know. When I hear it, I'm just
like, I hate the Matrix. No. I like that movie before. I know. Like when I hear it, I'm just like, I hate The Matrix now.
I liked that movie before.
I don't know why I hate it now.
There's never a reason to ever take anyone seriously as soon as they say.
As soon as somebody says that they want to red pill something as if that's a verb.
As if, yeah, you could red pill it.
I'm going to red pill it.
Oh, all right.
You can't be interesting anymore. Like that's it. Like there's a verb. As if, yeah, you could red pill it. I'm going to red pill it. Oh, all right. You can't be interesting anymore.
Like, that's it.
Like, there's no way.
Whatever you say next, I'm going to red pill.
Oh my God, you're on fire.
Be like, I'm waiting for the next guy to tell me.
You're going to flip this car.
Unless you douse me out with a bunch of red pills i don't care
and about the deep state about corruption around the world in politics and entertainment
and media and we want to we want people to know the truth we want to red pill people
so that they understand the truth forever about all this corruption yeah that's what red pill
means that's the metaphor for red pill. You're a fucking minute into this.
You haven't said anything.
The truth.
We also, I am, I'm the red haired stepchild in this.
You have no hair.
You're bald.
Also, isn't it red headed stepchild?
Isn't that different?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Is it red headed stepchild?
It is red headed stepchild.
Maybe they're, maybe the saying is talking about something else.
Maybe they're talking about
like an erect
very red penis.
Maybe a redhead
stepchild.
Red pill stepchild.
My penis looks like
a giant red pill.
I got to stop beating it.
That's the problem.
Purple pill?
The Q movement.
Because
I am very reluctant.
I'm a reluctant to make a point.
He's a reluctant is what he just said.
He's reluctant to get to the fucking point.
That's why nobody wants you even in your crazy conspiracy group.
Very reluctant.
I'm a reluctant convert to the idea of the deep state and,
you know,
this,
the pedophile human trafficking,
all corruption,
global corruption,
all that stuff.
That is not something I've ever been interested in.
I've not studied it.
I haven't researched it.
I,
it's not my thing out of my radar.
People send me videos and links.
Wait,
so is he saying he doesn't believe that stuff?
I think he's just saying he's fucking ignorant.
I think he's a reluctant convert.
But he's a reluctant convert means that he's-
He does believe it now.
He's converted, right?
If you say you're a reluctant convert,
it doesn't mean that you did eventually convert,
but you were hesitant about it, right?
I'm not misreading what that means, right?
No, you're not misreading at all.
And then he goes on to say,
I'm a reluctant convert.
I believe these things. I don't know anything about them and I've done no research.
Oh, nice. Okay. Well, because that's the smartest way to decide that the world works in this
globally conspiratorial way. Exactly. Thank you, David Icke.
All the time in private messages because they think I'm a conspiracy theorist or they think
I'm a truther and I'm not. I'm not a truther. But aren't you a reluctant convert to being a truther?
I'm not sure he's good at words. Okay. All right. We might be. So he's not a reluctant convert.
He's just not, he doesn't believe it. I think he's saying, I don't believe. I think what he said is,
I didn't want to believe these things, but I've converted. However, I don't know anything about
them and I don't believe in them. I see. Okay. That's what the last 10 seconds of audio. That's the journey we're on, buddy.
That's the journey.
That's it. Okay.
I don't watch those videos because I'm not a truther. That stuff doesn't interest me.
Right? Most of the other people in this movement are truthers. I'm not.
Now, I got involved in the Q movement because God gave me dreams about.
Okay.
I don't believe in any of that garbage.
I just wait for my magic man in the sky to tell me some stuff.
You guys believe some crazy shit.
Let me tell you.
But I believe an omnipotent guy puts thoughts in my skull.
While I sleep.
That's what I think.
While I sleep.
On the off chance that I'll remember the most important conversation ever.
I had a dream the other night.
Oh my God.
Hold on a second.
Hold on.
I swear to fucking God.
Where is it?
I can't let this happen.
So I had a dream the other night.
Oh my God.
There I was.
This hurts me.
You know this hurts me.
Of course.
I was coming down this hall and it might've been an alley.
I'm not sure.
And I was dressed in like,
like, you know,
like the old timey,
like 1920s gangster outfit, right?
And there's a guy,
I was going down this hall
and there's a guy
and he's walking right next to me
and it's dark.
It's dark.
And I'm like, I'm like looking at him.
And it's kind of like walking down like a dark street at night.
I'm kind of side-eyeing this guy.
And at one point, he grabs my neck.
And so I feel him grab my neck.
And so I grab his neck.
But his neck's really squishy.
And so I squished his neck.
And he passed out and fell to the ground
because I just collapsed the whole thing.
It was like a balloon.
You know like when you take a balloon and you squeeze it?
It was like that.
It was like, and it just, blah.
And so I squeezed his neck, and he fell down, and he passed out.
And I might have hit him, and that was my dream.
I swear to God, I've never cared about anything less than everything you just said.
I will tell you that a few weeks ago, I shouldn't even admit this on the air.
A few weeks ago, I had one of those dreams where you're in a fight and you can't hit anybody.
But my sleep paralysis didn't work well.
And I struck the pillow that Haley was using for her head
to be on like
several times.
She just woke up
and I'm punching her in the head.
Basically. Nice.
Which she did not, she was not as
she didn't think that was funny. She was not amused by
that wake up call.
It was not her favorite way to wake up. Yeah, I can imagine.
But you know what?
I don't care about that either.
Because it's a dream.
All right, that's done.
Q, and he's like,
I want you to focus on this.
You need to learn.
I'm going to red pill you about corruption.
I'm going to red,
I'm going to fucking red pill you
whether you want to be red pilled or not.
That's why I think it means rape.
I think it's when they hold you down
and make you do stuff.
Is it like even in the metaphor in the Matrix
that you have to make the choice?
Yeah.
Like if I remember that, and I do,
like you have to make a conscious choice
between truth and ignorance, right?
Yeah.
So you can't red pill somebody
else. Yeah. You had, you literally doesn't make any sense. You're right. Yeah. You're right.
You're right. Verbing your noun doesn't fucking work. It doesn't work because it's your metaphor
fails. You're not metaphoring right. And human trafficking and all the other stuff that's going
on. So as I've been getting red-pilled about all that corruption and stuff
that you guys already know about,
now I am red-pilling you about God.
There's never been anything more meaningless than that.
He's red-pilling us about,
can't God just stop at the pharmacy and do it himself?
I know, right?
Why does he need you?
You know what I'm going to do
is I'm going to take this amazing word that I have
and this giant-ass red pill
that's as big as a fucking trash can,
and I'm going to red pill the entire world if I can,
but I'm going to do it through a source
that no one's heard of.
You have infinite magic powers.
Infinite, perfect, unlimited magic powers
that never deplete no matter how much you use them.
Right.
You created not just stars,
but the very idea of matter and time itself.
Right.
Because, I don't know,
you were bored and needed play things.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
And you're like,
oh, this is really important.
I'm going to tell a fucking bald guy
in a dream to go on YouTube.
Tell, tell, tell people.
And then he'll tell,
it'll be like a multi-level marketing thing.
Like you're better off,
you're better off like,
like telling a rat that can cook dinner,
like that rat that's who you're at.
Like you're better off,
you're better off telling that guy.
From what I understand from doctors,
if it's a legitimate rape,
the female body has ways
to try to shut that whole thing down.
Ah, shit.
Here we go again.
This story comes from the Washington Post.
In Alabama,
where lawmakers banned abortion for rape victims,
rapist parental rights are protected.
So in most states, if you're a fucking rapist and you rape somebody and they become impregnated and then they have a child, in most states, you just automatically don't have fucking parental rights to the person that you helped create through
raping somebody in alabama that's not the case in alabama you can be and there's a heartbreaking
story about a young lady who's like uncle rapes her yeah goes to prison and then it's like yeah
i want to be a part of that kid's life. Yeah, two kids, I thought it was.
Incestually raped a young person.
Yeah.
And Alabama's like, yeah, I mean,
we floated some legislation around to make that not a thing.
And people were like, but, you know, Alabama.
Yeah, I think one of the things that they talk about in this is that they don't want to take parental rights away
from someone who might be falsely accused, right?
So, like, you make a child, you're falsely accused, and then they take away parental rights from someone, and that could ruin the entire relationship between those people.
Supposedly, that's why they're arguing against it.
I'm not saying that's true.
Yeah, I know.
I'm just saying, like, the reason why they're doing this
is because they're saying this.
And here's the thing,
I'm sympathetic to,
I'm even sympathetic to it.
I'm like, okay, yeah, I don't believe it.
I don't think that's the case.
I'm sympathetic somewhat,
but at least have a discussion about it.
Change it now.
Okay, maybe let's put some other stipulations in there
to try to protect those people
if those people exist,
which I don't think
that they probably,
there's a chance
that they probably
don't even exist.
Right.
But even if they did,
like, let's say,
let's put a thing in there,
a legal loophole of some sort,
but instead,
they're not even willing
to hear it.
They're like,
no, we're just not going to do it.
Yeah, they're not even doing it
in cases where the DNA
is 100% certain
that that person is a rapist.
The story in this-
They're not doing it
with anybody.
They're only doing it, they initially only wanted to do it with incestuous relationships.
Right, and they won't even do it here.
They won't even do it there.
They won't even do it here.
The DNA in this story that they relay is anecdotal, right?
But the story is like there's this young lady
and she's raped by her uncle,
and the DNA absolutely is conclusive
that this child is a child of the rape,
the incestuous rape.
And this person has legal parental rights,
custodial rights that they can pursue
through legal machinations.
It's fucking awful.
And it's like, I read this story and I thought,
we can't get any, there's no legal system. There's no justice system that's going to get everything perfect, right?
And so in the absence of perfection, you have to err always, I think, on the side of what is statistically most likely to produce the greatest good?
Because you can't get it perfect, so you have to go, I think, utilitarian.
Like, I don't know of another way to think about that.
So you have to do the least amount of harm, try to do the most amount of good.
My mind, I can't get past, yeah, are some parents going to be disenfranchised
if you were to pass a law that says, yeah, if there's clear and convincing evidence of rape,
that your custodial rights are forfeit. Yeah, absolutely. But like laws, these kinds of
laws should protect the kids. Yeah. They should protect the kids. Parents are always secondary
to the interest of the children, right? Because the children can't fend for themselves. Sure.
If I lost my rights to my kids, I would be very, very fucking sad. But if for some crazy fucking reason,
it was better for my kids, then it would still be the right thing because they're kids,
I'm a grown up. So if I eat shit for their benefit, that's okay. We've all decided that
that's just how it works. I can't see a world where we say, yeah, I mean, like,
bearing in mind what we know about rape,
bearing in mind the statistics around rape,
rape reports, rape convictions,
false accusations being a de minimis problem.
Very, very tiny.
Right?
Bearing in mind that what we know about those things,
what is the most likely law to do the most good? And it seems like keeping kids away
from their rapist parents.
Sure.
It's like an easy answer.
Seems like an easy answer.
It's an easy answer.
Seems like an easy answer.
Alabama can't get anything right.
Yeah, absolutely.
I agree.
Why does anybody live in Alabama?
Leave Alabama.
Yeah.
I think that there's a lot of ways that we can change our system to be utilitarian.
I think the first thing you do is you change it from being a vengeance-based system to an actual justice system
where people are actually rehabilitated.
That changes everything.
That's a game changer for our entire country.
It's a game changer in the sense that people stop,
like the recidivism rates drop dramatically.
Can I ask you a question about that?
Do you think that American culture
has an interest in a non-justice, non-vengeance based system?
Do you think that there is a, do you think that happens that American culture wants that?
I think a lot of people are interested in vengeance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Me too.
I think it's a waste of human beings in my opinion.
I do too.
I just wonder if you think it's practicable in America.
I don't know if it's practical.
I think it's the right thing to do.
And sometimes the right thing to do isn't practical. No, no, I know that. I'm asking a separate question about not whether it's right or wrong. I don't think it's practicable in America. I don't know if it's practical. I think it's the right thing to do. And sometimes the right thing to do isn't practical.
No, no, I know that.
I'm asking a separate question about
not whether it's right or wrong.
I don't think it's practical.
I don't think you can do it here.
Do you think we can get there in America?
I don't think so.
I don't think you're going to get gun control
either in America.
Yeah, I don't either.
I don't think you're going to get those things
because the practical thing to do
would be to do these things.
These couple of things would change things.
They'd be huge game changers for us.
But it's not practical in the sense that you don't have the political will to do it. You also don't have the mindset.
Yeah. I think that's what I mean. I think it flies in the face of like
who we are as Americans, like our American culture.
We hate each other. Yeah. We don't want each other. The system that we have makes us dislike
each other, makes us like to see other people fail, makes us like to see that.
Do you think that's a result
of the hyper-individualistic spirit of America?
I think it's the hyper-capitalistic spirit of America
that does that to us.
I think it's the system that we created.
It's a system that we created
and we continue to perpetuate.
Because I would love to see a rehabilitative-based system,
but I don't know that we get there until we get away from this individualistic society
and go to more of a collectivist society.
Because we don't recognize that the faults and the problems of the individual
are a fault and a problem of the whole.
They interact with one another.
We draw hard lines between the individual
and we don't value the whole.
We're not social.
We're not collectivist at all.
We're so individualistic.
Like I don't think that we have any appetite
for rehabilitation.
Our fairy tales are all individualistic.
Our fairy tales, our bootstrap fairy tales,
they're all individualistic.
They're all, I did this myself.
Bootstraps are all, I did this myself.
But it never pays attention to the moment
that you got helped at all.
It never pays attention to that.
It's always like, I started doing dishes
and then I bought a multimillion dollar corporation.
And all the steps from A to Z,
it's all the steps. We don't
connect the dots. We just jump from one
to the end. It's the individualistic
thing that I think is the real,
real problem.
I think until
we see the success of the whole
as being a goal, because
I think America as
the narrative of the American
spirit of who we are as people,
sees success as my success.
I view success as if I am successful.
Sure.
And in countries that are more collectivist in spirit, they see success as the society is successful,
and I am a part of the success of the society.
We have no sense of that. I don society. We have no sense of that.
Yeah.
I don't think we have any sense of that.
Yeah.
And I think without that, like we don't make any rehabilitative efforts.
Yeah.
Because it flies directly in the face of that hard line between me and you.
Like Cecil, the success of cognitive disissonance is due exclusively to the work I did
not like
what we did and all the factors
the people that have helped us throughout the year
you know what I mean?
it's fucking bullshit
not to be racist or anything
but Asian people
I want to warn people about this story
if you don't like the word N-word
if you don't like to hear that
I'm not going to bleep
him when he says it. I'm just not going to do it. He's going to say it at the end of this clip. So
if it's something that you don't want to hear, Ian may or may not, I don't know, put a timestamp
in for you right now to let you know when you can fast forward through. But we're going to talk
about this. This is a Dave Dobbenmeier story and he does say the N-word. Well, adding a comment
here actually pushes the timestamp out further because the timestamp that I calculated is
different now because I'm adding content. So you have to kind of balance that with the time you
have remaining. So jump to 39 minutes if you want to skip the story. Yeah, this is a right-wing watch.
He says bigot is the new N-word. Now listen, folks. I learned this. I saw this play.
Yeah, I learned this. Okay. Okay, folks, get ready. He learned this. I saw this play. I learned this. Okay. Okay, folks.
Get ready.
He learned this.
So women have a tiny penis.
Right above.
It's in the hood.
All you have to do is lift the hood up.
Holy shit.
Put the little stick in there.
Well, you got to get one of those lights that like hangs across with the cage around it.
You hang it right on the little penis.
Holy shit!
And did you know they like it if you mess around
with that thing? My God.
Turns her into Rudolph. Her nose glows
when you do that. It's amazing.
My wife nearly jumped out of her pants.
It's amazing. It's the first time I've ever pleased her.
This can be.
Bigot
is the new N word
bigot
so
N word
do you remember when we had all those bigots and we used them as forced labor
do you remember when somebody
woke up
and they had to be a bigot
because that was just
how they were born.
Like they just had,
you remember that time
that you had so much melanin in your skin
that you were a bigot?
There's nothing you can do about it.
Yeah.
Couldn't do anything about it.
You can't,
like remember that time
you couldn't change your mind?
Yeah.
So you were a bigot?
No matter what you did.
Yeah.
And then you went to the bakery
and you asked for a bigot cake.
Remember
when we had the bigots only
fountains?
And all the bigots
had to do the sit-ins at the lunch counters.
And then they had to do that. They took down that bigot
statue. Oh no, that's real actually.
That's a real thing they did.
They don't call us N-words, they call us
bigots. It's so funny. It's like the only two uses for the n word are if you're a rapper you know and i say that i
say that but it's like if you're part of part of the black community you're part of black culture
yeah chances are you're gonna use that term um and that's fine use it all you want it's your
it's not my word hey my word i don't want it. So, you know, but you know,
that's,
that's what you're going to use it.
Or if you're a fucking asshole,
if you're trying to hurt someone,
those are the only two uses of it.
Right.
Those are the only two uses that I can think of.
What other uses are there of it?
Well,
like,
like it is a pejorative that is used to belittle a group of people by a set of characteristics they do not control.
Yeah, right.
That is fun.
Like, that's the difference.
I could just be like, not a bigot if I wanted.
Like, I could just think different thoughts.
Wake up in the morning and not be,
or you know what?
You'd have different values.
It's even better than that, Tom.
You can be a bigot as long as you're quiet.
Right.
No one cares.
That's true.
Right?
You could be the quietest bigot.
You could be a librarian bigot.
You could just stay in the library,
never once utter a bigoted thing,
but you could think them.
Oh my gosh, you could think them all day.
What if Helen Keller was a bigot?
You have no idea.
No idea.
How do you sign the N word?
No, but you know like you're
if you're a
if you're a
a quiet bigot
it's okay
because no one knows
right
no one will ever know
right
like be a
be a hidden black person
be a hidden black person
that would be the thing right
be a white black person
well just go outside
go outside and be white
go out there and be white
and just like be black inside
like unless you're that woman
who pretended she was black to like.
Rachel Dozer.
We see I'm black where it counts.
It's not.
No.
It really counts.
Yeah.
Like on the outside a lot for how we're doing this.
But you could tell, like the thing is, is like anything that you can, you can't control,
you can't do anything about.
They had the, can you imagine them saying to black people, you can't do anything about. They had the,
can you imagine them saying
to black people,
you're not welcome here?
Yeah, I can imagine.
We have a long story to history.
I can probably watch a couple of videos
of that right now.
It's still happening in parts.
Like, let's not fool ourselves.
Hey, during Obama's presidency,
they hung up signs
that had Obama's face on it,
like no monkeys allowed.
Like, what are you talking about?
You don't have to even like,
you don't have to go with a fucking way back machine.
You have to blow dust off old tomes to find this shit.
I love that.
He says it too,
with a,
with a note of sort of like,
um,
wistfulness,
like,
man,
oh,
wouldn't it be great if,
I mean,
you can hear it,
come on.
Why are those black people
from being here?
Did you see,
you saw that,
can't even do that anymore.
You saw that straight
pride parade stuff,
right?
Oh yeah.
Isn't that hilarious?
The straight pride parade.
Fucking yahoos.
And it's funny
because it comes out later
that like it's Nazi.
It's like a bunch of people
that are like neo-Nazis.
Yeah.
And they got,
what's that kid's name?
Yalo Monopolis.
Milo Yiannopolis.
Yalo Monopolis
or whatever the guy's name is.
That dude's going to be there.
He's going to,
I guess,
dress in hot pants
and be there.
He's a gay guy.
He's gay.
I know,
but he's going to be
their fire marshal
or whatever they need.
Fire Marshal Steve
or whatever.
There was no way
the straight pride parade wasn't Nazis. Right. There's no way. There was no way the straight pride parade wasn't Nazis.
There's no way.
There was no way.
You hear that and you're like, who's showing up?
Like, well, it's, I don't, what?
It's funny because they miss the whole concept.
They're thinking like, I'm proud to wear a stick, my thing.
Like, that's what they're proud of, right?
They don't realize that the pride comes from
the adversity of being different, right? That're not, they don't realize that the pride comes from the adversity of being
different, right? That's where the pride comes in. It's not like anybody's like, I'm proud of
fuck this dude in the ass. Like nobody is, nobody's proud of that. Instead they're saying,
I am, I am proud of the adversity I face because of my sexual orientation. Yeah. Yeah. I'm,
I'm proud of this.
And like, you just miss it?
Do you, how do you miss it?
How do you miss that and be like,
no man, straight pride?
What the fuck are you going to do there?
Well, I think that they miss it intentionally.
Like eat mayonnaise sandwiches?
Like what do you do there?
What do you do at straight pride?
What do they throw?
White bread? Like what do you throw?
I don't even know at this point.
Like, everyone's modestly dressed.
I don't even understand it.
All the women in skirts.
Everybody's just buttoned all the way up to the collar.
Who are we going to have sex with?
The opposite sex.
Are we fun in bed?
No. Go home. You're boring. You're fun in bed? No. I go home.
You're just,
you're boring.
You're a bunch of boring Nazis.
You're boring,
boring Nazis.
Oh God.
There's a video on our Twitter feed
that we watched a couple of weeks ago
where this girl is just crushes it.
And she's like,
we have unbelievable privilege,
364 days a year.
And one day,
one day where we get to celebrate
that unbelievable privilege.
And I was like, that's brilliant.
That's perfect.
That's absolutely perfect.
So funny.
Isn't that bigotry?
Isn't that bigotry?
We had some guy chanting, go back to Alabama.
Go back to Alabama.
You tell me that's not bigotry?
You tell me that's not racism?
It's not.
No, your race is not your ideas.
Yes.
Your ideas are bad ideas.
The reason they're saying go back to Alabama is because Alabama is a hotbed for bad ideas right now.
It is a metaphor for the culture of the South.
It is not the same as saying go back to Africa, which is a continent from which people were kidnapped, put in boats,
and then enslaved. But see, they can throw the word bigot out there, and bigot is a socially
accepted word. Oh, if they called, what? They called homo, homo. Oh no, you can't do that.
You can't do that. You can't. You can call people homos. That's perfectly,
I mean, you got,
you just better be ready that,
you know,
someone might punch you
in the mouth.
Yeah,
I think,
I think he's mistaken,
right?
Because like,
you can yell out
damn near anything
you want in America.
Like,
you can just say crazy shit.
It's just that everyone
will hate you
that has good sense.
Yeah.
And I think that's the part
he doesn't like.
He doesn't want to be
picked on.
Yeah.
What he doesn't like is like,
he doesn't like that his bad ideas are marginal ideas. He doesn't like that his bad ideas and his bad ethics
and his bad values put him on the outskirts of polite society. And he's outraged that everywhere
he goes, he is not welcome with his shitty ideas. And that's actually kind of wonderful because
the more upset he is that being a bigot is not well accepted, the counterpart to that is that that means that there's more and more places in America where we have more progressive ideas, where these sort of regressive bullshit, racist ideas are not welcome.
And the people who have them are unwelcome.
So it's actually like a really positive.
Absolutely.
It's super positive. Peace to this.
Super positive. But he's, you're right, he's ticked off because he wants to be able to
hurt other people with impunity. I want to be able to hurt you and show you that you're less
than me with impunity. You know what that is? A bigot, it turns out. That's what that is. I
want to point out to you how you're less than me. Right. That's what I want to do.
Hi.
I'm entitled.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, not so much.
Yeah.
You yell, oh, nigger!
Nigger!
Oh, no, no, no.
You can't do that.
Bigot!
Christian, bigot!
They can do that.
Do it all day and everybody applauds.
What he's saying is that I, like the majority of other people, am also marginalized.
Right.
Can't you see how marginalized I am because I chose to be an asshole?
Yeah.
What he's saying is like me and the dominant social structure are also on the outskirts of the dominant social structure.
Enhance pants vector D7.
Isolate pocket contents.
Enhance.
Enhance.
Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. En pocket contents. Enhance, enhance, enhance, enhance, enhance, enhance,
enhance, enhance, enhance, enhance. Meet me at the strip club tonight. It all goes down. XOXOVB.
I wonder who VB is. This story is from CNN.com. Congress to investigate deep fakes as Dr. Pelosi video causes stir. So this is fucking crazy.
So there's a video and it was slowed down in such a way
that it made Pelosi sound like she's slurring her words
to make it seem like she's like under the influence
or fucked up in some way, right?
And so, and Trump retweeted it.
Yeah, Trump retweeted it.
Trump, the fucking president of the United States,
retweeted a. Yeah, Trump retweeted it. Trump, the fucking president of the United States, retweeted a fake doctored video in
order to smear a political opponent.
Yeah.
And I put this in here because I think it's really actually really fucking important.
Because we're in a place, and we talked about this a couple of years ago, we're in this
post-truth world.
Right.
And that's a scary place to be is in a post-truth world. And we look at things and we
say, oh, we want to vet our sources. We want to understand as technology becomes more democratized
and more powerful in its democratization, it becomes easier and easier to create those types of evidences that we have relied upon for years and years to know what's going on in the world.
And when the power brokers that we trust to help us understand what's going on, i.e. hear the president, right?
When they are willing to use doctored videos, doctored photos to tell us a
new truth about the world, that necessarily will influence what we do, how we think, how we vote,
who we go to war with. It's scary. That's scary shit because it upends the idea that we can know things.
It fundamentally moves that goalpost away from reach for average people.
How do you know anything if you can't trust a video, a picture, an authority figure who is supposed to vet these things?
Where do we get truth from in a post-truth world?
I literally don't know the answer and it makes me afraid.
I will say it is frightening.
Right now, they're saying that the way in which these are done is difficult.
There's a Mark Zuckerberg one that I saw that you could tell it's not his voice.
You could tell the Obama one that plays on the story is not Obama.
It's Jordan Peele, right?
So you know the people,
you could tell that it's not the person.
Right.
Looks like the person,
but the voice is a little different, right?
So we'll still be able to know certain things,
but it turns out that you have to have a really trained eye.
And if you're just scrolling through
and you just sort of stop for a half a second,
you may think that the Zuckerberg one,
where he says, he's talking about how he controls the world.
You might think, well, did he really say that?
Is that really true?
And it's got all the trappings of it being a real thing.
It looks real, sounds real.
It's not cheaply produced. It's not a stick figure, right? Looks just like him. And it's scary in that sense,
because you don't know. It's going to be harder for us to figure out what's real and what's not.
We're going to need a secretary of deep fakes. You know what I mean? We're going to have to call
in Captain Disillusion every time something comes out
and be like,
is this a real thing?
Is this not a real thing?
Now it's easier than ever to fake
a lot of different things
because of After Effects
and the use and ease of After Effects.
I was looking up tutorials today on After Effects
on how to turn a face into a 3D face.
So turn a video,
a regular photo into a 3D face. And they were making it smile and
turning it side to side. And it was able to move. There's all kinds of things that you can do just
in After Effects with these, you know, if you have time, all you need is time and the meticulousness
to do it. And, you know, if you have hundreds of hours that you can spend on something, you can make a very convincing fake.
Very convincing.
So convincing that it can fool a lot of people and change a lot of minds.
And you're right.
It's a scary place to be.
The other thing that makes me really uncomfortable with all of this is that, and there's nothing we can do about it,
is that one of the ways information passes,
so information passes from, let's say, a bad source to me.
Well, to some degree, I'm going to go to work
and I'm going to tell the people at work, right?
I'm just going to have a conversation.
Did you hear that thing that Zuckerberg said?
And then now I told you about it.
And then when you see it, you're more likely to believe it again.
So information doesn't have to go just from the source to the person. Now, I told you about it. And then when you see it, you're more likely to believe it again.
So information doesn't have to go just from the source to the person.
It then also becomes part of a larger story
that we tell each other,
gather around coffee, having drinks.
Did you see this thing in the news?
Yeah, I saw that.
Oh my God.
They, you know, the Russians blew up that fucking ship.
I saw this fucking video of it. And it was on a page that looks just like CNN. Oh my God, the Russians blew up that fucking ship. I saw this fucking video of it and it was on a
page that looks just like CNN. Oh my God, did they really? Now what do I think happened? I don't know
if that happened. You can fake this shit in ways that really is deeply unsettling. And the people
that are in charge, the fucking president, they have a broader responsibility
to rein that in, right? Because if we don't rein that in, then there's an erosion of public trust,
which is nearly total. How am I supposed to know if the president says we need to go to war
and this happened, right? We need to go to war because
Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and we know that they actually don't, but we're going to say
that they do. And we are going to hear that story and we're going to tell that story to the UN and
we're going to tell that story to the American people. And then we're going to go to war and
however many hundreds of thousands of people are going to die needlessly, right? Now imagine how
much more convincing that is when you can add a video to it.
We're going to go to war
because they blew up this battleship
in the middle of the sea,
the Gulf of Tonkin, for example,
maybe if you wanted to start a war.
Adding the video element changes everything.
It changes everything
because you can lie and corroborate.
And how are you as a regular person supposed to
vet truths? If you can't vet them through your authority figures and you can't vet them
reliably through sort of secondhand eyewitness, which is what video is, what the fuck are we
supposed to do? How are we supposed to know what's real? Well, how do we avoid being manipulated?
Well, and I think the first line
of defense should be the person who's in charge, right? So the president and Congress, they should
be doing things to make sure that there's protections in place. They didn't do it when
it comes to cyber attacks. They didn't do it when it comes to voting. They didn't do it when it
comes to those things, but they should be looking towards this stuff. The problem is that we talked a couple weeks ago about the president visiting
a ship and
saying, well, what's
with all this new electromagnetic
technology, rail gun technology to shoot
planes off of here? I want them all to be
steam. I want it all to be steam
because we've been using steam forever. And it's
because he doesn't understand it. He doesn't want to
go. If he doesn't understand, he doesn't care.
Do you think he understands this in any way, shape, or form? Of course he doesn't understand it. He doesn't want to go. If he doesn't understand, he doesn't care. Do you think he understands this in any way, shape or form? Of course he doesn't. You could sit down
and try to explain after effects to that guy for four hours and he wouldn't understand. He would
fall asleep in the middle of it. I'm not convinced he knew that the video that he retweeted was fake.
I don't think he does. That's as problematic as it's a difference. scary, but it's just as scary. It's just as scary.
Now you've got someone in power
who's able to be manipulated
by fake video evidence.
Yep, yep.
And he has no intention
of putting anything in place technologically
to protect us
from any of our technological threats
because he doesn't understand it.
And so therefore,
he doesn't think it's a threat.
And so it's a waste to him. but he's too, the problem is, is we elect the dumbest person in
the room. We elected the dumbest person we could possibly find. He's charismatic and dumb. And
that's the worst combination of a person that you could put in office because they have no,
he has no forward vision. He doesn't have any vision of what's going on. He doesn't care.
He's a clear cut guy. Whatever I can do to make a quarterly profit, that's what I'm going to do. When you're
thinking on quarters and not on 20-year plans, you're going to be left behind. Yeah, I was having
this conversation with somebody at work about the trade war with China. You can't win a trade war
with China for exactly that reason. When we think in terms of quarters and we're in a trade war with
a culture that thinks in terms of generations,
you cannot
possibly win that. You'll never win it.
You can't win. You can't win.
Our goals are different.
It sounds like
Adam and Eve has changed
and they are not swinging
for the fences anymore. They are not.
They have other offers,
bigger, girthier other offers, bigger,
girthier offers.
Bigger, wider.
You know,
the thing is what you want is more
so you can put them
in different places.
That's what I hear a lot.
I want more.
You need more.
I can't.
And here's the thing.
Do that.
Adam and Eve will plug you up
airtight.
I will tell you that right now.
If you,
first off,
you're going to get
50% off almost any item.
You're going to get 10 free gifts from them,
a sexy item for him, special gift for her,
and a third item you're both going to enjoy,
and six spicy movies.
Just in case you're in an Echoes Town one day
and you really, really need to see some porn,
they will send you six movies on physical format.
You can't lose them.
You can't.
Here's the thing.
This is apocalypse porn.
It is.
This is exactly what it is.
When the shit hits the fan,
and you've got your fucking exercise bike
you're using to power your fucking personal grid,
at least you'll have some spank material.
You can go out like that guy in Pompeii who jerked it
and he's the ash of the guy who died.
Just the ash of the dude holding his own cock.
That's epic as fuck.
That dude just fucking, he just owned that shit.
He's like, fuck you world.
Jerking it, I'm going out.
But if you want to jerk it and go out.
You always tell when somebody finishes by looking at the ash.
All you have to do is type in Gloria Checkout.
That's G-L-O-R-Y.
And you'll get all of that free stuff,
50% off any item and free shipping.
It's all gone downhill from here, Cecil.
There's no point.
The only thing is,
is that I absolutely trust
this image to be truthful
because it's Rick Perry wearing glasses.
And Rick Perry wearing glasses,
he rates high on the trustfulness scale,
truthiness scale.
We're in a place where farce is,
like there's no way to be more farcical
than the truth right now.
It's amazing. This is not
the onion, guys. We had to check. Yeah, it's not the onion. And it says it on the top of the page.
What does it say there? New York Times. New York Times. Okay. New York Times. Not the onion.
You know what's funny is when I first saw this, I found it was a Telegraph article.
And I showed Haley and she's like, no way. And then she found in the Times and I was like,
all right, those are two legit sources. Right, right. This is real.
So here it is.
Freedom Gas, the new American export.
Rick Perry is, Rick Perry, remember,
is the energy secretary.
Remember?
That's a horror.
Right.
We used to have like a Nobel Prize winning physicist
or something who did that work.
Now we have Rick Perry.
Yeah, he has a degree in like animal husbandry.
I'm not even kidding.
I think that was his degree, right?
He fucked a horse for his spinal.
Yeah.
All right.
So this is what they're talking about is natural gas.
No, they're not talking about a different type of gas,
a new molecule of gas that we've discovered.
Fredonium, Tom.
Is it Fredonium?
We might rename it. Is that the new, is it periodic table? molecule of gas that we've discovered? Freedonium, Tom? Is it Freedonium?
We might rename it.
Is that the new... Is it periodic table?
Is it just a bald eagle
on the periodic table?
Is that what it is?
Caw, caw, caw, caw!
What is it?
It's so stupid.
I have to just...
Can I just read the article?
Yeah, no, just go ahead and read it.
All right, so...
Try not to kill yourselves.
Okay, yeah.
According to the Department of Energy, the next critical export from the United States
is made from, quote, molecules of U.S. freedom.
Molecules of freedom.
We're the dumbest.
We're the worst, dumbest culture possible.
You may wonder, what are these molecules?
The technical answer is liquefied natural gas.
Or if you're in charge of energy
policy for the Trump administration, freedom gas. Freedom gas. You know what it is? I just
figured it out. On the periodic table, it's USA and its atomic number is 1776.
I just figured it out. I just figured it out. Oh my God. On Tuesday, the department announced
plans to increase exports of the fuel source from a new liquefaction plant that was built I'm just figuring it out. I'm just figuring it out. Oh my God. On Tuesday, the department announced plans
to increase exports
of the fuel source
from a new liquefaction plant
that was built off
the coast of Texas
on Quintana Island
by Freeport LNG of Houston.
That's fucking crazy.
So that's good.
Houston needs more
stink factories.
They got enough.
There's enough people
free with their gas down there.
The whole place smells
like freedom gas.
All right.
So the announcement
was quickly overshadowed by the colorful terminology in the release. This is a quote,
increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas
throughout the world by giving America's allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy,
said the undersecretary of energy in a press release.
Freedom gas.
Do you remember when we were the mockery of the world,
when we renamed French fries, freedom fries?
Yeah, I do.
And everybody laughed at us because we were assholes.
I remember that.
And you know what else comes out of an asshole?
Freedom gas. Free gas. Freedom gas.
Freedom gas. I also love
this idea that America is the only free nation
that we have to export freedom. I know.
They did that all the time. Remember Bush was
the one who really hammered that home.
They don't like our freedom. They don't like
our freedom at all. And you're like, no, there's a
whole bunch of other places in the world that are free
that aren't getting fucking exploded needed right now.
I do think that there's like,
there's like a undercurrent American culture where like there's people that
think we're the only free country.
Right.
Like everybody else is just under tyranny.
Like you go to like France and it's just like,
there's a King of France.
Exactly.
They think wrong with you.
They think there's so many places in the world that have a democracy.
Right.
It's not an unusual structure anymore.
It's not unusual.
You're like, okay, yeah.
I mean, yeah, they still have a monarch in Britain,
but it's like that they don't even do anything
except for like cut ribbons and like take all their money.
They don't do anything else.
They just knock on Bob Robb's door or whatever.
Maybe Bob Robb knocks on the back door.
Who knows?
But they don't do anything, you know, really.
They have a baby, and then they hold the baby out and say,
everybody look at this baby.
Baby.
For now begins the Inquisition.
The Inquisition.
Let's begin.
The Inquisition.
Look out, Sam.
We have a mission to convert the Jews.
All right, this story comes from Right Wing Watch.
This is Rick Wiles trying to provoke a goyim uprising
to overthrow America's Jewish slave masters.
He's so anti-Semitic.
What I love is that, you know,
what I love is that is that this, even the headline escalates quickly.
You know what I mean?
Like even the headline is just like, what?
Rick Wiles' rabid anti-Semitism has really like come out recently.
It's really, it's blossomed.
It's so aggressive.
We've watered it.
We've cared for it.
We've nurtured it.
And now it's blossoming into a very, very, very beautiful swastika.
There we go.
And Alabama is a Christian state.
And Alabama is imposing Christian values, which are diametrically opposed to Jewish values.
Okay, here we go.
I don't know if I'd go there.
First off, I don't know if I'd go there first off i don't know if i'd go there because
isn't christianity based on judaism well i think that uh if i'm not mistaken jesus was an actual
jew so is it really like you kind of can't parse one out from the other in the crowd there's like
one jew for jesus he's like wait a second here wait Wait a second. That's exactly right. What America is getting ready to do
is throw off Talmudic Jewish values.
The only way to overthrow Roe v. Wade
is to overthrow the Talmud in America.
What the fuck?
I'll tell you what,
this Talmud has him in a bad mood.
That's for sure.
Do you think he buys his Bibles
and just tears the Old Testament right up?
Like just, shit.
I'm not sure that the Talmud
is fully part of the Old Testament.
Okay.
I think there might be some of it in there,
but I don't think it's all in there.
Someone could certainly correct me.
Right.
But I did search for Jewish.
What do the Jewish people think?
You know, if you're a faithful Jew.
Right.
What do you think about abortion?
What does religion teach?
And so I want to read this.
This is from a website called myjewishlearning.com.
Okay.
And so it's a site that uh that has
if people are uh faithful jews and want to sort of understand better their own faith they come here
i looked at the about page i have no idea how again i don't know how accurate all this is but
they do cite um it says jewish law does not share belief uh the belief common among abortion
opponents that life begins at conception,
nor does it legally consider the fetus to be a full person deserving of protections equal
to those accorded to human beings. In Jewish law, a fetus attains the status of a full person
only at birth. Sources in the Talmud indicate that prior to 40 days of gestation, the fetus has even more limited legal status.
One of the Talmudic authorities,
and there's a word here,
Yavamat 69B,
no idea what that means.
I'm clear that's a citation,
but I don't know where that is.
Asserting that prior to 40 days,
the fetus is, quote,
mere water, end quote.
Elsewhere in the Talmud,
it indicates that the ancient rabbis
regarded a fetus as part of the mother throughout the pregnancy, dependent fully on her for its life,
a view that echoes the position that women should be free to make decisions concerning their own
bodies. At the exact same time, feticide is prohibited by Jewish law, though there is disagreement
over the exact source of this prohibition
and how serious the infraction,
some consider it biblical in origin
based on a verse from Genesis
that prohibits the shedding of blood of man within man,
a phrase understood to refer to the fetus.
Moreover, Judaism teaches that the body
is ultimately the property of God
and is merely on loan
to human beings.
That's weird.
Are we renting it out?
I don't get it.
Multiple prohibitions.
I'm going to return this
in terrible shape.
Multiple.
If I'm Jewish,
do I get to haggle
over the price of the body
at least?
Multiple prohibitions
in Jewish law,
including prohibitions
on suicide,
getting tattoos,
and wounding oneself
collectively serve
to reject the idea that individuals enjoy an unfettered right to make choices regarding their own bodies.
So it's not a black and white issue for them. But I will say that they probably land more closely
to the pro-choice side because they are at least okay with the first 40 days or whatever they were
saying because it's like mere water to them. Right. So you couldn't shed blood because there's no fetus yet, right?
That would be the idea, I think.
But I was thinking to myself,
clearly he's got a fucking hard
on for these people and he wants to show
how bad they are. But I will say that
in this case, it sounds like
he's at least...
He's not totally off base.
He's not totally off base in the sense that they are
probably not on his side.
But I love the idea that like,
this is the Jews control the world stuff,
right?
That like all the big decisions,
Roe v.
Wade,
like all these big decisions by the power brokers that be are a tiny cabal of
Jews who control the world.
Who get to,
yeah,
who get to make these decisions.
That's powerful.
I just said it.
I just said it. I just said it.
I don't care if you choke on it or what.
The only way we're going to make America.
Okay.
I just said it.
I said this crazy math.
Everybody who listens to you already knows you're a shit.
And they already know that you hate the Jews.
Right.
Nobody is like.
It's not like this is a big surprise.
Oh my God.
I can't believe Rick Wiles doesn't like the Jews.
You guys hear a big slam of Jews out of nowhere by Rick Wick wiles you know i'm not even like religious but i still
watch true news and i couldn't get the fuck out of here great again captive audience to make
america christian again is to overthrow the talmud in america the talmud replaced the holy christian
bible there when did that happen?
When did that shift occur?
I don't even know.
Because this guy buys into that whole idea that America is an established Christian nation.
So by his worldview, there had to be a narrative that goes something like,
it was Christian at the start, time passed. Somehow the Jews now control it.
Something, something.
Right.
Some states are Christian like Alabama
because, I don't know.
And then now we're going to toss out
the Jewish cabal of evil double power brokers
so that we can have more babies alive
or whatever.
And isn't he at this point
accusing all the pro-choice people
of like following this doctrine?
Yeah, you know,
when you go to a fucking,
when you go to the people
who are trying to defend those people
in the Planned Parenthood,
you can't even pry the Talmud
out of their hands.
There's Talmud, Talmud, Talmud.
I'll tell you what, actually,
now that I think about it.
If you are one of those people
who protect the people
who go get abortions,
do me a favor.
I'll even reimburse you.
I'll PayPal you.
Go buy a Talmud.
Take a photo of yourself with the Talmud out there protecting these people.
I will tweet this at Rick Wiles.
If you send me this image of you holding a Talmud at a pro-choice rally, I will tweet
it at Rick Wiles and tell him how right he was.
Please, somebody do this.
I know somebody's out there
involved in the pro-choice movement.
You can make this happen.
You can just check it out from the library.
You don't have to buy it.
Go check it out.
It's even worse if you use it in a library, Talmud.
That's our problem.
We're now under Talmudic law.
Talmudic. That's what's happened to America in the past 50 years. We're now under Talmudic law. Talmudic.
That's what's happened to America in the past 50 years.
You're exactly right.
Court decisions and laws in this country for abortion are parallel with Talmudic teachings about unborn children.
We're under Zionism.
Yes.
We're slaves in this. Yes. We're slaves
in this country now.
All right.
So put them on a train.
Here's what you got to do.
You only need one solution.
It's the last one you'll ever need.
It's a very final one.
I mean, really,
like this is how they should.
Earlier in this,
earlier this year,
you had your midterm solution.
This is the final solution.
Goyim slaves.
And I'm trying to provoke a Goyim uprising.
Well, that's the only way to get the Talmud
out the back of your throat is a Goyim uprising.
You know, what we should do is
we should provoke a Goyim uprising
and then we will be in charge.
So we'll like reign.
It'll be like the third one.
Oh, okay.
Where we're reigning.
Reign.
You know, over the father raining. Rain. Reich.
Over the fatherland. You are Reich.
This is some Nazi shit!
Come on!
Come on!
We need a Goyim uprising to
eliminate the Jews from power
so that we can control the country.
A Goyim's a type of dumpling, right?
It's delicious.
Is that a goyim?
Would you confide?
No, no, no, no.
Would you confess?
No, no, no, no.
Would you refight?
No, no, no, no.
Would you say yes?
No, no, no, no. I mean, let's not just stop here.
He's definitely on a roll about the Jews here, Tom.
This is Rick Wiles again.
Yeah, he's talking about the YouTube crackdown as it refers to the synagogue of Satan.. This is Rick Wiles again. Yeah, he's talking about the YouTube crackdown
as it refers to
the synagogue of Satan.
All right, Rick Wiles again
talking about the Jews.
Doesn't like him.
No, he hasn't come around
on that topic, huh?
He hasn't changed his mind yet.
All right.
Changed his mind.
Jesus told us
2,000 years ago
that in the...
That YouTube
is going to hate the Jews.
It's right there. It's in youtube chapter three all right now it's unfortunate because he didn't know about electricity or north america
yeah i didn't know about those but he knew about youtube and funny enough, Instagram influencers. He knew about them too. Crazy, crazy.
Last days, fake Jews.
It turns out the president doesn't hate fake Jews.
He hates real Jews.
Wait, I think that's fake news Jews.
Fake Jews clues?
What are we doing here?
We'll persecute true Christians.
I said it, I believe it, and I will not retract it.
What the fuck is a fake Jew?
I don't know.
Are they Christians?
What are they?
So they're not Jews persecuting the Christians.
When you become a fake Jew, what are they?
Did they just give you a bank or a media? They're just like,cuting the Christians. When you become a fake Jew, what do they do? Just give you a bank or a media?
They're just like, here's your media.
You just get to choose which media you want to control.
Just have whichever one.
It's actually like if you're just the banker in Monopoly.
It's fake money.
It's fake money.
So there you go.
Fake Jews.
You know, if I get to control any media I want,
I want old timey windups.
I wind up record players.
That's what I want.
That's a good one.
Cause it's a big giant,
like that room hiss that you get off that thing.
It's a warm sound.
It's delicious.
It is what it is.
Our enemy right now,
the enemy of the church,
our fake Jews called the synagogue of Satan.
There we go.
Yeah.
Synagogue of Satan. There we go. Yeah, synagogue of Satan.
There we go.
I was waiting for it.
I think we should have a synagogue of Satan shirt.
But I have no idea how you would even design
a synagogue of Satan shirt.
I don't know.
I would go.
Yeah.
If there was a synagogue of Satan,
I'd be like, yeah, all right.
Sounds fun.
Sounds like a good time.
I'll wear like a red yarmulke or whatever.
I have to do.
You can't decide over the six or five pointed star.
They're arguing over it constantly.
No, it's upside down.
Just turn it a little to the side.
It's six points.
You can't make it upside down.
Who owns Google?
Who controls Google?
Who owns YouTube?
Who controls YouTube?
Who owns Facebook?
Who controls Facebook? Who owns Facebook? Who controls Facebook?
The synagogue of Satan.
Finally, something I agree with Rick Wiles about.
What are you going to do to me? Are you going to come and kill me?
Someday you're going to try it.
No, because you're an irrelevance.
Nobody cares about you.
Like, listen, Rick, you can say crazy shit on your show that we watch to make fun of nobody cares like it's america like no one's
gonna kill alex jones either like no one kills people that say crazy shit we mock you into
irrelevance what are you gonna do to me you just get promoted then I just called you what you are. Zuckerberg, you're the synagogue of Satan.
Come at me, bro.
I know.
He's so defiant right now.
Also, Zuckerberg is like the least intimidating guy in the world.
Like you look at me,
you'd be like, what's up, Zuckerberg?
Actually, you're kind of freaking me out.
You look like an android.
You're going to weird me out, Zuckerberg.
Please don't look at me.
It's so funny
it's like what's he gonna do it's like well i mean he does have nearly unlimited resources and
he also looks like he has a jaw that can unhinge so i would be afraid on two fronts there yeah
did the roof fall in on me no my god will hold me up my god will preserve me my god will nobody's trying to hurt you
i love these guys i love the persecution complex of these fucking lunatics who are like i can say
whatever i want because god will protect me it's like yeah well that and the fucking first amendment
well that and the fact that nobody was gonna hurt you anyway right you're sitting in a safe
ass room and it's not like even, you could sit in the middle of,
you could go to Facebook headquarters
and be like,
this is the synagogue of Satan.
They'd be like,
sir, please leave.
Yeah.
You're a little nuts.
We're going to ask you
to step away from property property.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
And you're not wrong.
So do you want,
do you want something or not?
Fake juice on the menu.
Will defend me.
My God will take care of me.
The synagogue of Satan is not playing games.
They are coming.
Well, I mean, you can play lots of Farmville,
like whatever.
You can do a lot of things on Facebook.
You're right.
You're right.
Those used to be huge, those Facebook games.
I never played any of those
Facebook games. No, I didn't either. Facebook. They had, I know Facebook had a bunch of games
where you could like, they had, they actually did a really smart thing where you would send all your
friends stuff to get stuff. Right. Yeah. And then you would just be getting all these things. Like,
I don't want to play your Farmville game. And then I, everybody had the same idea that was like,
take me off it. Don't send these to me. It, it, it got to the point where it's like, where everybody wants you to
throw a fucking multi-level marketing party feel. It's like, Hey, you want to give me a fucking
beef jerky from this fucking beef branch game or whatever. And you're like, get the fuck out of
here. If I like, if I fucking see that notification again in my life, I'm going to throw my computer in a river.
And I think they decided.
They're like, no, this is actually pushing people off
and they stopped doing it.
Yeah, it's very unwelcome.
Because it was super annoying.
Yeah.
It was so annoying.
But I don't remember playing any of those.
They might've been fun.
I have no idea because I never did them.
I never did them.
So no.
After the true church.
These are people that murder babies.
Do you comprehend this?
These are people that murder babies.
What do you think they would do to you and me?
I don't know.
They've already murdered babies.
Why didn't they just kill you as a baby?
I mean, if they're really good at killing babies, right?
Let's say they're like super good.
Let's say that like once you get past toddler phase,
they aren't very good at it anymore.
Now you're difficult to kill.
But like killing a baby is like taking
candy from a baby if candy is like
their heart. Yeah.
You could also just shove the candy in their mouth and suffocate
them. There's plenty of ways to kill a baby.
Babies are essentially harmless.
They're the easiest
thing in the world to kill.
You couldn't be an entire room full of babies.
You're going to be fine.
You can kill a baby by just not killing the baby.
Yeah, you could just neglect the baby and it would die.
It's like, what'd you do to the baby?
I didn't do anything and it's dead now.
Measles did it.
It's been three days.
I've ignored it for three days.
Suddenly it's my fault it's dead.
You can even partially care for them and not vaccinate them and kill them.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like you got to work to keep them alive.
Babies try to die constantly.
They're easy.
Super easy.
They're like fucking sea monkeys.
It's like the worst Tamagotchi you've ever had.
It's the worst.
Anybody that would murder a baby
is capable of murdering anybody.
No, they're not.
The babies are weak.
I can't.
I can murder a baby,
but I can't murder like a six foot six,
250 pound skinhead.
Yeah, right.
I'm not going to go murder Hoist Gracie.
Hoist Gracie has got a baby in a triangle
he's choking a baby he's got a whole pile of babies behind him and there's a whole line of
babies leaking out the door and hoist is just choking every baby throwing the baby behind him, discarding the baby.
And then a new baby comes in and he chokes.
It's just so easy.
Oh,
Jesus.
Like it's also the case of like babies are a pain in the ass.
They are a pain in the ass.
Like, Rick Wilds, like, it's like,
why would I kill Rick Wilds?
He doesn't live in my house.
It's also harder to get away with it
when it's Rick Wilds.
Oh, Jesus.
Jesus Christ, you got to feed a baby
and like clothe it.
Oh, Jesus.
Watch it grow up
into someone that resents you.
Wouldn't think twice.
In fact,
Jesus said,
they'll kill you
and think they did God a favor.
Right.
Is that what Jesus said?
That sounds like one of those military slogans.
It's like Jesus walking around with a big shirt with a skull on it
and like a fucking knife on it says, kill them all.
Let me sort them out.
There's just like a picture of like somebody like chopping someone's head off
you're welcome God
did you little
did you solid
he's got another shirt
that says for me and country
me bless America
because their God is Satan
that's amazing I have no idea what that means in me we trust
so we might have thanked some of these people already but i'm going to thank them again god
damn it we want to thank our patrons of course we want to thank all our patrons we want to thank
specifically our newest patrons grand priapism michael Michael, Addled Mind, Carrie Boo, Aaron, Phantom
Foreskin, Courtney, Pat Nobberson, Jammin' Jesse Buckner, Kim, Judy, Tristan, Karayakos, I don't
know if that's right, Lady Grey Jedi, Wolf Undead, Keith, M Gibbons Camp, Paige, an epic patron name.
Thank you so much for your generous donations.
We are only a few dollars away at this point from our patron newsroom becoming a full feature
that will happen every month. It's set up right now. If we reach another $10, another $10 patrons
join, we will do this patron newsroom once, at least once a month. Now there's farther,
the more patron dollars we get, there's a better chance that we do it more often. But the patron
newsroom is we let patrons choose a story. We pick a story based on what the patrons send in,
and then we cover that story in our live streams. And so there's a chance that your story could get chosen.
If you become a patron,
you get a chance to join that patron thread
and choose stories for us.
And maybe there's a possibility,
like I say, that we could choose your story.
If you want to become a patron,
now's a great time.
You can go to dissonancepod.com
and there's a link on the homepage
to become a patron.
You can go to patreon.com slash dissonancepod and become
a patron today. We will be doing a
live stream, a patron
newsroom live stream next Thursday.
So pay attention
to the patrons.
Pay attention on Monday. There will be a thread
posted and you can submit stories and
we'll be picking one of them, one or two of them,
for next week on Thursday. We are not going to do
email this week. Like we said, we are going to go through all of our email and find the stories
that are about the opioid crisis. And we're going to read some of those. We're going to use that as
an extra. We're probably going to record that next week. We're going to use it as an extra.
So it'll be in the feed. Everybody can listen to it, but it won't be a show in the sense that we'll
be taking up a full show, a Monday show for it. It might get released on an odd day of the week, but it will be an extra for everyone to hear. We plan
on doing that, like we say, next week. So to give you an opportunity to send in your opioid stories.
Most of the feedback we got was pretty positive. We got one or two negative comments, but mostly
people really did enjoy the opioid crisis two-parter that we did, one with us and once with Steven Novella
from Skeptic's Guide to the Universe.
We got pretty good feedback on it
and we got a lot of great stories.
So now's your chance to send in your stories
or your comments.
And we, like I say, we will read them as a full episode.
That's an extra coming soon.
But that is going to wrap it up next week.
Like I say, we are going to have a live stream so be
sure to tune in on thursday evening normally we do around nine or ten central time we'll tell you
during the day on our social media feeds when that's going to happen but until then we're
going to leave you like we always do with the skeptics creed credulity is not a virtue. It's fortune cookie cutter.

Exclusive. Exclusive. I was listening to this Radiolab episode about the Good Samaritan laws.
So it was really interesting because like, you know, the overdose problem around the specifically around the opioid crisis. Many states have passed laws where if somebody overdoses and I call an ambulance, I can't get in trouble for having drugs on me or drug paraphernalia.
And people before were not, before these good Samaritan laws, they were like, fuck, I don't want to get arrested.
So I'm fucking high.
So the people were dying or they'd be like dropping them at the emergency room and driving away.
And that's no good either.
Right.
So they passed these good Samaritan laws.
And I don't remember the state
where the story took place, so forgive me.
But the attorney general was like,
okay, well, I'm gonna,
I mean, I can't prosecute these people
on having drugs for their sole possession.
I can't prosecute them on paraphernalia.
But what I'm going to do
is I'm going to prosecute them on wanton endangerment
because they knew that taking drugs with this person was going to endanger their life.
So they have them on.
And then the presence of those drugs was a wanton endangerment charge
for each of the people who showed up to help.
And so, and it gets back to when the guy was being interviewed
and the guy from Radiolab was like, that flies in the face of the intention of the Good Samaritan Law.
And the guy was like, my job isn't to interpret the intentions of the law.
My job is to enforce the law, which is bullshit.
He's stepping outside and being creative about finding new ways to charge people.
But it's that fucking black and white context-free
mindset that some law enforcement and other sort of law and order types have, where it's like,
hey, I don't write the law, I just enforce it. Except for we don't do that.
Really, really harshly. Yeah, when I want to.
We enforce it selectively. We enforce it racially. We enforce it in classist ways.
We're constantly taking context into effect, but rarely to mitigate, only to
amplify. Yeah. You know, we listened to that when we were doing the opioid crisis. There was a story
of a woman who split a fentanyl patch with her boyfriend. Do you remember this? No, I don't
remember this one. So this girl, she's got some sort of problem with her
where she's constantly has to have these pain patches,
fentanyl patches.
Okay.
And so her and her boyfriend used to,
every once in a while, I guess quite a bit,
they were both opioid addicted.
They would cut these patches open,
take some of the fentanyl,
put it in their mouth or the gel,
put it in their mouth,
and then they would both get really high off of it.
Well,
I guess one time
they upped their dose.
She didn't know.
So they cut into it.
He was getting ready
to go hunting
on opioids,
which is crazy.
Oh my God.
That is some American flag shit
right there.
That is absolutely fucking,
you don't have a gun rack
in your car
and you do that.
Oh my God.
That's a,
our fucking,
our European listeners
are like, what is happening over there? And Oh my God. That's a, gosh. Our fucking, our European listeners are like,
what is happening over there?
And not only that,
he's going bow hunting.
Anyway,
he's got his bow.
He goes,
grabs his girl,
a fentanyl patch.
They cut it open.
They each take it.
They get no shit,
four or five steps away from each other
and they both collapse
because fentanyl is just so,
and in the,
in,
you know,
in tiny increment dosages,
you can just immediately overdose.
He overdoses,
she overdoses her,
her,
her son,
the girl's son.
This is their,
this is her stepdad or maybe mom's boyfriend or something.
She,
he comes in from outside,
sees this happening,
calls the police,
whatever.
They show up,
guy dies.
She lives. She, calls the police, whatever. They show up, guy dies. She lives, she lives on.
But they charged her with manslaughter
because they were her patches that they split open.
Even though they both always did it together.
Right.
And it wasn't like she was twisting his arm to do it.
It's the fact that we charge people that way
and there's no way around it.
And it's interesting because the woman
who they're talking to,
they're talking to a woman who was the boy's,
the guy who died's sister.
And she was perfectly fine with it.
She was like, yeah, no, I'm happy
that they're charging her with this crime.
And when I heard the story, I was like,
oh my gosh, it's a victimless crime.
