Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Kump. We are looking at a cargo ship that has crashed into a backyard somewhere in Norway. A horrific sight, if I've ever seen one, it's a strange, you wake up one morning and all of a sudden a ship carrying, I don't know, a bunch of Q-tips and garbage and Nintendo Switch 2s crashes into your kids. jungle gym or whatever you have in your backyard and this might you would think this is one of the most horrific things you've ever seen can you imagine you lose your mind if this happened and also people have been kind of implying that maybe I'm being too negative lately with the news that I'm drumming up has somehow this is my my narrative is too dark well you know what you want here it's dark this guy this homeowner
Starting point is 00:01:00 What do you think his reaction is? I would be, you know, I would be upset if I'm a ship in the, what is this, the North Sea? I don't know what C's are. The homeowner expressed excitement, not alarm, saying it's the best thing that's ever happened on this street. That's how bleak we've gotten now. That's how bleak the world is. That's how freezing the anonymity of. the modern world has become that you you hope for a cargo ship to crash into your backyard
Starting point is 00:01:38 what is this this is a video what's this guy saying the cargo ship that nearly hit a home in Norway has been refloated so they got they got out of the backyard the owner of the home says he's embraced the experience he's embraced the experience I don't know, I don't ever experience anything quite like this again. I wouldn't have traded this experience for anything. For anything? I don't care. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:08 What else could you say after that? What else could you say after I wouldn't trade the experience of a home, almost destroyed by a cargo ship? This is the greatest thing we've ever seen. To be fair, though, right? This is in Norway, right? This is not like some exciting city, like the city we live in, where we can just go to the M&M store whenever we want. Sure, go. And you have an amazing, life-changing experience.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Well, you say that as if we don't risk being maimed every time we do. I mean, you can do whatever you want. We can go. That's part of the experience. That's part of the fun. I could also go to Gaza. You know what I mean? In Norway, how many people does this guy even see on a regular basis?
Starting point is 00:02:52 But they like that. That's the whole thing. Countries used to matter. Norway used to like being Norway. Norway was fine with it. They have fjords and they have beautiful water and grass and green things. I don't know what happens there. Are they Flemish?
Starting point is 00:03:10 Who knows? I mean, I don't know anything about Norway. They're quiet people. You know, there are people who don't really put themselves forward. I know a little bit about it. I lied. I mean, but they do. They don't have like a big comedy.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I knew a guy do comedy. They're very funny. Daniel Simons, is he in the Norwegian? Very funny guy. But you tell you told me, a lot of people there, the whole default thing for Norwegians is they don't put them, yeah, what do you do? You're going to be famous, you know, they don't want that.
Starting point is 00:03:38 That was the whole default thing. It's what made them Norwegian. It's like, no, why would I be, why would I be in public? Why would people know me? And now they just have, that's what the world's becoming. We're destroying the natural order of things. Everything, everyone wants, even in Norway, people have to go viral now but just please crash something into my house please a cargo ship a missile
Starting point is 00:04:01 you know i wouldn't trade this for anything i wouldn't trade this for my wife left us last year after a long battle cancer but i i wouldn't trade this for her life i wouldn't trade this for my own life would you want to maybe wish for her to come back to life well would she be able to see the cargo ship cranes of the house look at this guy this guy's this guy's not like a 19 year old influencer no
Starting point is 00:04:30 you know this guy's like this guy's like a stoic fisherman and he's just like please please destroy my life no it all worked out but I mean that doesn't matter he didn't say hey
Starting point is 00:04:45 he didn't say hey take it take things as they come hey it's no big deal I'm just glad no one's hurt. Well, you know, Scandinavans, stereotypically, they're like, they're, you know, humble people. They don't want to, he probably doesn't want to embarrass the cargo ship
Starting point is 00:05:00 captains. Well, no, no, no, no, that's what I'm saying. He's a piece of shit. Right. Crash into my house. Right, right. But I'm saying, what I'm saying here is it's not so much that he didn't want to embarrass the guy.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It's that he said, this is a guy, I wouldn't trade this for the birth of my child. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would take this over world peace. I would take this over, you know, just being, you know, content in my life, finding fulfillment. Just let the horror happen to me. That's what people, people just come to, you have to accept that things are just like,
Starting point is 00:05:38 the worst things you can imagine are now just experiences. It's just that, that's, and look, I guess that's what Norway, like, no, that's, the beauty of a place like Norway. Right. Because I'm sitting here going, this is horrible. And they're like, no, this is great now. This is, they've adapted.
Starting point is 00:05:57 They evolve. They evolve to the horror of the world. And so, Norway, it's like, no, this is actually the best thing. You could have possibly, welcome to comp, welcome to the show. Before we go any further, you know, please,

Starting point is 00:07:09 no but it was really you know it's like you know it was we said a lot of things for the first ten minutes that probably we have is just or channel removed from YouTube I'm not trying to exaggerate you be the judge I don't know you tell me if you think I could put this up on YouTube I'm pretty sure I'm already on warning lists
Starting point is 00:07:26 so whatever but glad this guy glad everyone's I think the guy fell asleep with the wheel this cargo ship guy by the way really I think so I think that's what what that's good for him you said that's how he crashed yeah the pilot not the I could see that I could see falling asleep about
Starting point is 00:07:46 If I was the captain of cargo ship, like, I mean, the way of, some people get seasick, but the way a ship moves through water, it's just very calming to me. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Yeah, it's just like a little light bounce. You think, you think the, you think a cargo, I just want to take a nap. What, what experience do you have on boats?
Starting point is 00:08:06 Um, my, I, I went on a cruise once. Oh, you did? Yeah. Where, where's who?
Starting point is 00:08:11 Uh, Bermuda. Really? I didn't notice about you. Who took you to Bermuda? Was it was a similar man? It was a trip with Mother. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Well, that's nice. Mother and I went to Bermuda and saw the white sands at Bermuda. It was great. Yeah, no. And then, you know, I've been on people's, I've been on a couple of boats here and there. Yeah, I, these cargo ships are like the size of Delaware, you know. These are very big ships, so I'm not sure if it translates, but maybe it does. I've been on a ferry.
Starting point is 00:08:42 I ferried across the Long Island Sound to Connecticut. I feel like, you know, I didn't seem that. I guess it's common enough. I guess you're right. This, I mean, I've crashed head on into a car full of federal agents before. People know this story. Some people know the story. Well, I fell asleep at the wheel.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Wasn't drunk, wasn't anything. You know, I was totally, I blew a clean breathalizer. But, you know, I just fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a car full of federal agents. what are you going to do that's that's like that's actually the best thing has ever happened to them and i bet if i talk to them i mean the one time i ever talked to them was they would they put their hands on their guns and sort of screaming at me like stay in your car stay in your car and i did you know they drove away i don't know it was very weird oh oh so they didn't they didn't try to get you for anything like they were just they were they just wanted to get the hell out of there
Starting point is 00:09:37 well the cops came i think i think it maybe they stayed until the cops came like the regular cops because they were they seemed to be on their way to the airport for some reason in some very strange way um you know i probably got i probably crashed in the two like you know like well who can say i don't want to accuse anyone of corruption based on where you were can you can you get take any guess of what they might have been doing i mean you know it's they're federal age they can be involved in anything in a federal jurisdiction they could have been involved in it could have been like ran contra for i mean it was a little late for that They could have been involved in the, and what happened? What was it around 2015, 14? Maybe they were involved in early Ukraine stuff. Who knows? I'm not even sure if they were federal.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I forget. I think they were. They seemed like it. So they just yelled, stay in the car, stay in the car, and they ran away? Yeah, they waited for like the regular beat cops to come. And they go, and they probably assumed that I would, they probably assumed I would go into the drunk tank and like pay my penance. But I just, I ended up just, like, they were like, well, you can go.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Like, you have, you have a, you, and the cop was like, do you have like a mechanic? Because the car was totaled, my car. Like, do you have a car, like a, you know, a mechanic you want us to tell us to? I'm like, I'm like, this is me in my life. It's just like, well, I don't really have, like, a regular mechanic around here. He's like, all right, what? I mean, what should I do? He's like, I don't know, I mean, I shouldn't take it to me back in my house.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Should I? Like, just get out of here, dude. And I'm like, all right. So I told him back to my. apartment. I was renting in a basement apartment at the time, and I towed it there. It was like 3 a.m. I had a wedding to shoot, and I was doing photography at the time, and I was photographing a wedding the next day. And so it was like 3 or 4 a.m. by the time I got, I had him tow it back to the front of me, the total car. I had him tow it in front of this guy's house. I lived
Starting point is 00:11:32 and, like, I wake up at like 6 a.m. to the guy screaming, what the hell? Why would you Why would you tell her total car to my house? He was so mad. I just started screaming at him, threatening him. I'm like, shut your mouth. This is a new reality. This is our life now. This is an experience.
Starting point is 00:11:55 This is the best thing that's ever happened to you. Don't you see that? You wouldn't trade this for anything. But I ended up, so with that, I shot at the wedding. I was covered in blood the whole time. I mean, I did start bleeding in the middle of the middle of. the wedding at some point. Wait, wait, so, like, from wounds?
Starting point is 00:12:12 I had some wounds on my legs, I forgot. I didn't realize at first. My boss, like, my... So you just left some car crash wounds untended? Well, I mean... Over, overnight? Basically. I mean, I didn't realize my legs were all screwed up.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Was there glass in there? Like, you know, car crash wounds are, like, are, like, bad. Well, it wasn't arterial wounds. It was just, it was minor scrapes and scuffles, I guess, in the end of the day. Either way, it was the best thing ever happened to me. And then eventually, I just... just, a couple days later, I just called, I put it on Craigslist and then some immigrants came, I don't know, I can't, I don't know which country they were from, but, you know, they came with some, I've never seen it before. Like, apparently you can just, like, it was like a piece of wood with wheels on it. They just, they just put on the back of my car and they, and they just, like, towed it with another car, which I don't know you could do. They always have, they have, they do have ingenious little methods sometimes. Right. Various immigrants. They're good at things. They're good of just like, yeah, we'll take this and we'll use it for something.
Starting point is 00:13:09 you know i don't know what they did with it i got like 200 bucks and that was a car i bought like new like five like probably like seven years this was the best day in a lot of people's lives best day of everyone's life that was that was that was that was vee day for everyone um do they don't know what that means anymore vee day what is victory in europe day oh okay is that when the guy smooched the girl in the middle of time square i thought that was our v day like are there different v days Victory in Europe doesn't mean victory for, like, Europe's victory. It means victory in Europe.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Because VJ is VJ Day. I just thought our thing was usually called V-Day. No, it's V-J-day and V-E-Day. God, this whole country, we need a cargo ship crashing in this apartment right now. That's what we need. Did you hear about, did you ever hear about that whole, like, revisitation of that, like, iconic image? The Kiss and Times Square or whatever? Do you want to pull it up so we can, as we discuss it?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Let's put at the end of the tabs. she's a guy apparently the guy grabbed some nurse I said get over here it makes that figure so people can see it be excited
Starting point is 00:14:16 it's the greatest day of her life whatever this is fine this is yeah yeah this is the iconic everyone knows
Starting point is 00:14:26 amazing amazing photo yeah some some some freaking sailor some fake sailor some guy some stow away stolen valor sailor what's he doing here really We just won the war.
Starting point is 00:14:38 What's he doing here in his uniform already? I thought, I mean, is this a parade? I thought this was a day. I thought this was like they announced it in Times Square. And then he just grabbed some nun, I mean, some nurse. What's funny is that, like, nobody else, like, they describe it as this day where everybody was just going wild. Yeah. But everybody in the background actually seems to be acting normal.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yeah. He's going to get over here, touch. Time for an experience. I mean, she does seem to be kind of. I mean, you're a woman. Yeah. As a man, I'll venture, you know, call me a misogynist. She seems to be enjoying it.
Starting point is 00:15:16 I mean, we can't really see her face. Right. But does her body language? I mean, look, the body language to me seems to imply a certain level of enjoyment. But is it possible, as a woman, you can comment on this if she's more just going limp in a kind of, you know, self-defense kind of method? Like, kind of like, we play possum almost. Like, I'm a woman, but I'm not a body language expert, and neither is anyone else.
Starting point is 00:15:43 And, like, you know, I can't really tell. I mean, the way the woman described it, like, the reason it got, like, controversial for a while. Yeah. It's because, like, the woman, she was a little bit noncommittal about it. Yeah. But she basically described it, like, less enthusiastically than you would expect her to. Right. Like, she was kind of like, yeah, I was just there, and he grabbed me, and it was, I don't know, it was weird.
Starting point is 00:16:02 So they didn't get married after this. Yeah. She probably, she probably was married. and she's just like and like her husband was probably just some accountant and like she's like well he's a sailor mate
Starting point is 00:16:14 I'm sorry and he's like I can't believe you embarrass me oh yeah oh my god if she's married her husband is just permanently oh you know forever if she's married I mean if I was if this was my wife
Starting point is 00:16:25 I wouldn't have a wife anymore I mean I would divorce her I mean I mean I mean look I mean you could see like If some guy ever does that, if we go into a mess of war and some guy tries to do that to you, I know, like, but you better be slapping them.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Yeah. You can't, you're not allowed to, like, and you can't say to me, well, I did slap him right after this. You have to know pictures happen, so you have to immediately. Someone goes to kiss you, be smashed. I'd rather you smack me every time I kiss you,
Starting point is 00:16:56 you know, as a false move. Just a practice. Yeah, didn't have that happen to me. But then I'll be, I'll be in like, I'll be the national villain slapping some guy who's finally released from the horrors of war. I mean, I don't care if he's just got out of Birkenau. You're my wife.
Starting point is 00:17:21 You're not the nation's wife. You're not Lady Liberty. So that's very strange. So that's what America used to be. Just something great where things happened to you. He never knew. Why did this come up? Because is this being re-litigated?
Starting point is 00:17:40 Oh, yeah. Like, I was going to pull up. There was some... See, VJ Day. I thought it was V-E-Day. It says here, like, the woman, Greta Zimmer Friedman. Yeah. The woman being kissed by the sailor said the kiss was non-consensual.
Starting point is 00:17:59 But it's a little bit more complicated than that. Like, she wasn't, like, necessarily mad about it. Well, yeah. I mean, look, we've taken non-consensual to a point. of like, you know, you know, it's the very best case your career is over. No, but look, and I'm not saying it shouldn't, whatever. I mean, you know, if Bill Murray can't grab, it can't kiss Naomi Watts through a mask as a joke without shutting down the movie, I don't know if some weird sailor who, who knows what country is even, like, working for.
Starting point is 00:18:26 There's even an American sailor, whatever. You know, I don't know if he should be allowed to grab her. She's getting broke by some German sailor. Right. He's there for some reason. Immediately, when I put the brig. Whatever, look. I mean, but she probably just meant, like, you know, no, I didn't, like, I didn't participate.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Right. I let it happen. Yeah, she's also, like, a woman from that time. She can't be like, oh, yeah, I was there trying to get, like, get laid. Yeah. Like, she's not going to be so, like, explicit. Why do you think I was in Times Square in a nurse's outfit? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:59 You see a lot of doctors in Times Square? You see a lot of hospitals in Times Square? next to the bubble gum shrimp. What do you think I'm doing here? I'm not the applebees. It's having a few margaritas trying to get something going. But yeah, so that's, so what the time, those times are over. We're never going to have that.
Starting point is 00:19:22 It's never going to be that good again in history, you know? Right. That's the best case scenario for wartime smooches. You know what I mean. speaking of war well it's a nice transition I think it's a nice transition there are way more evil wartime smooch as you could get
Starting point is 00:19:41 let's hope they say smooches if you know what I mean smooching as a weapon of war is actually a big problem in this world yeah I mean let's not push the boundaries here on YouTube Putin Putin issues conditions for ending war in Ukraine this is nice I mean because
Starting point is 00:20:01 up in the past couple of weeks or months, I don't know, people have been saying, because Trump kind of ran, President Trump ran on kind of a position of let's end these wars, right? Right. Yeah, but it doesn't seem like he's, that's happening.
Starting point is 00:20:15 And, yeah, I don't even know what, it's funny, I was just saying the other day, I'm not even sure what Putin wants. So now he's made it clear for us, which is very good. Russian President of Vladimir Putin has outlined his conditions for ending the war in Ukraine. demanding significant concessions from Kiev and Western allies.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Western allies. Why do we got to do anything? Well, I mean, he better be asking anything from us. Like, I'll abandon Ukraine. I don't care, but like, don't ask me, like, pony up money. That's crazy. These include Ukraine's formal abandonment
Starting point is 00:20:50 of NATO aspirations. Yeah, that goes about saying, I feel like. I mean, there's no way you cannot let a country being bombed into NATO. It's just stupid. So they have to. sign like a piece of paper saying we'll never will never be part of NATO I don't
Starting point is 00:21:05 want them in NATO no and he shouldn't look he's right to not want a country NATO next to him would we be cool like Mexico is like yeah we're signing a friggin we were joining the Russian Federation yeah we'd be like what are you talking about don't do that that's weird
Starting point is 00:21:20 why are you joining you're right next to us why are you joining the Russians that seems odd doesn't it right yeah yeah yeah I can see that too I'm just say I'm not I'm not the one getting money from Putin here. Go ask the other bald guy. Recognition of Russian annexation
Starting point is 00:21:37 of Ukrainian territories. What? Wait, was this Western what? Recognition of Russian annexation of Ukrainian territories. Like what? I guess Dombas. Dansk, Lusk, Kerson is a way. Look, just take the whole country. I don't
Starting point is 00:21:54 care. Take the part, take the part you said, here's what we should do. The part that you said was Russia. Right, that they wanted, that everyone was, like, supposedly everyone in Ukraine was torturing those people because they're Russians.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Right. Doesn't have that. They're bombing a lot. What do you want me to do? Let's just end the war. This war is not good for anyone. It's been going on for years. I don't know what the goal is.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Zelensky is just trying to stay on the air like it's like a sitcom. He's like, look, you should have worn a suit to the White House. You really screwed up there. I never didn't seem like that was the biggest deal, but it was. Stop trying to pretend you're GIG.
Starting point is 00:22:31 show when you're a sitcom actor who's just letting your country get bombed for three years. Stop it. Enough. No one's taking it seriously. You're telling me he's taking it seriously, pretending like he's a, you know, he's a special forces soldier? The guy said that he, the only training he has is from the groundlings. You know?
Starting point is 00:22:53 What are we talking about? Putin insists that these terms are prerequisites for initiating people. That's a prerequisite. it. I mean, I, we may not give him, we may not give him Alaska. I will not be, I will not be excited about that. I love Alaska. I would love to go see a Codiac bear in Alaska. They have those up there? It's just Grizzlies. They got a whole, isn't Codiak Island full of Codiac bears? Is that in Alaska? Yeah. Sounds good. So why are a grizzly man up there then? Is Grizzlies and Codiacs? Everyone's so full of it.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Ukrainian president Zelensky's rejected Putin's conditions It's not really up to him, is it? It's really up to us He can't fight the world without us, right? Was Poland going to give him a bunch of vessels? Was that the deal? Let's let Poland do it. Why are we doing this?
Starting point is 00:23:41 We got our own problems here. We got, you know, we got a lot of TikTok stars and Twitch people getting into trouble and football players. I'm never getting into these stories. These are stories that rejected this week. There's all sorts of mayhem. I don't think we have time to be dealing with Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:23:59 How about we take some of the money we were spending on Ukraine and we give it to like, you know, who needs money here? Poor people. Right? Yeah, I mean, I agree. I kind of agree with that. Don't we have poor people in America? Why are we worrying about whether who's, just like, kings?
Starting point is 00:24:18 Like, do you think people in Ukraine care if they're part of Russia or not? What are they doing? Yeah, some of them seem to want to be. Yeah, exactly. I barely care. Like, here's a message to the rest of the world. The U.S. happens to be on top right now as far as the geopolitical structure. You could definitely argue if you're against that, that is, you know, it's not as sound as it used to be.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Fair enough, right? But I'm saying, when you're, like, the top dog and I'm just a guy who's part of it, whatever, will it be a culture shock if all of a sudden I have to, like, kind of not be proud of my country because we're getting conquered all the time? Yeah, I guess. But the other day, was it really make a difference. You know, where the people in Iraq, I guess Saddam wasn't good. But, like, where the people, after the bombing and then the rise of the ISIL or ISIS or whatever,
Starting point is 00:25:10 and then the insurgencies and the wars and the bombings, I mean, was there quality of life improved by the war? I don't think it was. And what about Ukraine? Are people better off now than they were? You think, what do you think? Russia is going to, like, you know, turn Kiev into, like, is going to call it a little Moscow? What cares if they do? Like, just do your thing.
Starting point is 00:25:34 People in Norway. Norway's fine, and people are happy to have a cargo ship crash into them. What are you people worried about? It just seems like a very odd thing. Yes, America would have a culture shock if we had to be conquered. But, I mean, I'm sorry. You should have been a stronger force in the world. What do you want me to do about it?
Starting point is 00:25:55 How about we don't bomb? We don't let people get bomb anymore for a while. Three years, you had a good run, three years. Maybe we should split it in half, you know, make it two different countries. And then the one that's kind of in the Donbos region can be basically part of Russia. Cool, little Ukraine. But they can each get their, like, you know, they can each have their little moment in the sun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:18 They can both act like they're being independent countries. Kind of like North Korea and South Korea. Yeah. Yeah. And then that solves everything. How about we just divvy? That's a good idea. We divvy up the countries again, the little countries.
Starting point is 00:26:31 The countries that aren't in charge. Because you have like, what, you have America and you have China, the top two dogs, right? And then you have like Russia, maybe it's on its own tier, right? And then below that, you have like Britain or UK, whatever, in France, right? And like some other things. Oh, yeah. Talk to me. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Yeah. What are you waiting? Europe? Well, in general, I'm trying to, like, I'm trying to, like, figure out the war. I mean, the, the, the, the, the hierarchy of the planet. Oh, okay, got, I got it. And then those are the forces that control things, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Okay, so the rest of them, we divvy up again. So there's, like, five, instead of two careers, there's, like, six careers. And then, like, instead of, like, you know, uh... I feel like a lot of problems could be solved that way, you know? Like, it's, I just keep making them smaller and smaller. Every time people have a fight. Yeah. Just go.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Whoever wants to be here, go here. I'll give you blue Sweden and yellow Sweden, but I'm keeping red and green, all right? So you get blue and yellow Sweden. What else we got here? We got to, can I interest you in a tall Iceland? Short Iceland we got to keep because that's where the, those like rock. What do they call that stuff, the geothermic stuff? The hot springs?
Starting point is 00:27:45 Yeah, but it might be some mountains in Iceland, very small ones. But you call them tall, we call it tall Iceland. Oh, wait, no, that's, I'm thinking someone else. No, the hot springs are basically, yeah. It's hot something. Yeah, it's geothermic. They use it the power things. I'm just saying, like, oh, America,
Starting point is 00:28:00 like if you were doing it to America, but what you can't because we're top dogs right now. But, you know, if we get in 20 years, let's see what happens. But, you know, let's just use America as an example. So you'd have, like, the Rockies would be a country because that's something you could sell off to people. And then, like, you know, Florida would be a country.
Starting point is 00:28:16 And then, you know, what's another thing? The Pacific Coast Highway would be a country by itself, just a whole, just a whole coast. Not, not California. If you were smart, you go, well, no one really cares about the Mahavi desert that much. You know, you have the Pacific Coast Highway. Oxnard's there. We keep, we grow the fruit.
Starting point is 00:28:36 You know what I'm saying? You divide things up into like things you could sell. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's a good idea. And it seems like at this point we should be able to simulate where everybody really truly belongs, right? Like, you should be able to like go into a, you should be able to go into some kind of simulation and be like and basically like determine like are you are you a desert person right are you a spring person there's plenty are you are do you want to be right on right on the
Starting point is 00:29:02 ocean there's little there's plenty of people who belong because there's got to be a way to divide this by preference people who live on the ocean to tend to have a vibe it's not always the best vibe they're very pleasant they're very carefree they're not always you know the most like you know alert but whatever it goes to the territory people people in the desert have a whole different vibe. I agree with you. People who drive in the desert. I mean, we could put you in the desert
Starting point is 00:29:28 and you can die in the day. But people who drive in the desert have a certain vibe. And same thing with the East Coast and the marshes and the swamps and the mountains. Yes. And I feel like a lot of like
Starting point is 00:29:38 our discontents. Like I feel like a lot of this stuff that's happening with Israel. Yeah. It's just that like Jewish people don't really, they don't really want to be there in the desert. Interesting. And they get cranky.
Starting point is 00:29:49 They get cranky. That's an interesting. That's an interesting thought. You know, like, yeah, because people go, why, I mean, they're tied into the whole Bible thing. Right, exactly. It's all based on the Bible. That's not a bad suggestion. That's an interesting idea.
Starting point is 00:30:00 I feel like whenever, I feel like that area used to be nicer. I feel like back in the Bible times, something happened with the mini ice age or something. And like, it used to be less of a desert. They describe it as a more, like, that area is more a fertile crescent. But it seems very, I know there's some like nice parts of Israel, but a lot of it just seems very, like, hot right and dry they're trying to shoehorn themselves in there they have that they have that like they that's that river or whatever that's just so full of salt that you just can't even swim and just blow on top of it that's not that's not that's not that's not that's not that's not that's not ideal that can't be
Starting point is 00:30:36 that ideal situation also it's like you you get to you know a place like Jerusalem or whatever and like you know look it's nice to be to have it back I guess right but also you like you're trying to like you can't just build a derby's there or you can't just build a you know what you call it like a subway right you can't just build a uh give some other things you would like a prep majeure what's a prep manager that's the thing they have in you if you go Manhattan which I know some of me uh I will listen to the show is been in Manhattan if you ever go there you'll see something called prep manager or something I can't is they pretend to be French it's just like it's basically like the Hudson
Starting point is 00:31:16 news of of restaurants you've never seen this I'm never yes you have They're everywhere. We've been to them before. Oh, oh, wait. Wait, yeah. I think I know. How would you say it? That's probably not the right way to say.
Starting point is 00:31:30 What was it? I've never actually said it out loud. But, like, I think every time I see it, I just think. Bring up a picture of this. It's a thing. It's a total thing. Yeah, predomonger. They pretend to be some foreign thing.
Starting point is 00:31:44 But they're not. It's just fake. It's like everything in Europe now. It's like dollar pizza. It's like a fake. You buy sandwiches for $15. they're not good they're not like terrible but it's not like a new oh new york sandwiches it's just some it's some airport everything in there tastes like it was made in the bathroom it's made for
Starting point is 00:32:01 corporate cogs i don't mean like people who make a lot of money i mean people who like do data entry or like sales or i don't know i don't know what these people who work in manhattan do you know i mean there's so many people who have like white collar jobs supposedly but they seem to make like 80 grand a year um and like their apartment cost 90 so i don't sound i'm not trying to like you know you may you might make 15 grand a year but you know you might live in a place where you can afford that's that's that's a reason about money I mean maybe not not 15 you know what I'm saying yeah split the difference I'm just saying the you know whatever again I don't make I'm not even saying 80's like whatever I don't look
Starting point is 00:32:41 don't at me I would love to make 80 grand here I'm just saying like it's just these people but they live in shoeboxes. But I don't want to hear this, though, this whole thing of like, well, why would people didn't give you comments? Why would anyone live in New York City? No one's sitting there going why you live in a trailer park
Starting point is 00:33:00 or why you live in the desert or some whatever. I know I'm experienced men. I know places have different, you know, strengths and weaknesses. You like to go hunting. You like to go fishing. There's nice things there. But the people who were there in the rat race
Starting point is 00:33:13 are there for a reason. Stop pretending like there's no reason to be in the city. Yeah, they're trying to do something here. Right. Just relax. Stop trying to... It just looks desperate.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Who do you want to live there? I don't know. 15 million people. Yeah. Right, exactly. And also, like, you know, most people in the human population over the course of centuries.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Yeah. Look, I mean, I'm sorry that, like, you know, because the internet exists now and you can ship things to, like, the middle of Ohio or Iowa or wherever you live, it's so great. We hunt buffalo.
Starting point is 00:33:45 That, you know, like, yeah, until recently, bless you I'm gonna die it's the greatest thing it's ever happened to me but you know it's like until recently these places
Starting point is 00:33:59 weren't up you know you didn't have internet you know you've got a TV reception probably back in the day right whatever I'm gonna say people live there for a while but this idea like I'm sorry all of a sudden cities are like most of the people who are saying this stuff are saying on the internet for instance you know you're on the web
Starting point is 00:34:17 you're commenting on a YouTube channel right you're not exactly the you know the whiskey rebellion guy and the people who are most like you know vocal about that stuff everybody should get out of the city they're always like choosing the most arduous lives for themselves like you know
Starting point is 00:34:33 in the places they go to like it's like you know I could see the appeal of getting out of the city sometimes that's some guy I guess but you know not so I can work like you know 15 hour days on a farm no that's not who's making a comment it's the guy working at the gas station there
Starting point is 00:34:48 was sitting in that car while everyone live in the city and he's in a gas station with 15 hours and it's fine everyone needs a job and I've had jobs like that but I wouldn't necessarily go who would want to live like that anyway
Starting point is 00:35:04 what else is going on we have oh this is a new I guess a new story so every week we talk about this and apparently there's a new development the Alan Musk exits Trump administration
Starting point is 00:35:19 but controversy is this a new story? Yeah, he's leaving. But this is like this is a new thing? Like apparently he's like he's officially resigned because I thought this happened
Starting point is 00:35:31 last week. I was yelling about how he didn't the Doge and they didn't but apparently it's this is the biggest like decline or whatever you call it or like just one way of leaving I've ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 00:35:43 This is like this is like that show that Connors Remember, anyone else knows how the Conners every week Because we watch Jeopardy It's the only reason maybe you haven't seen Because that's the only reason we see the ads But we watched Jeopardy
Starting point is 00:35:55 And for like, literally three months straight Every week was like the last Connors That featured Diane Who was Diane? I mean, Darlene? No, Diane. So were they just like killing people off every week? I don't know, I don't watch the Connors But apparently like people are very excited
Starting point is 00:36:11 to see it go and like it just won't end And that's how it was a lot of Musk I mean, he resigned So he actually resigned from the Trump administration. He cites, he wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX and not the fact that he failed. Because he did. I mean, he talked a big game.
Starting point is 00:36:31 It's always interesting to see eubris. Because you think, like, I don't know, like you and me out there, you and me and the people who listen. I think we all are like on a certain frequency. We were like, well, you know, he's lying. probably but then again why would he would know we know he's lying or we're talking a big game or whatever you want to call it right not not you know if he if he if he's going to talk so much smack and not follow through that's going to be horrendous right they don't care though that's we
Starting point is 00:37:00 always forget that rich people and they don't care and then people who own stuff they don't care people who do a lot of ketamine don't care you know it just they just keep going and they keeps talking and then just you can't really give it the same like credence that you give it to like you know the guy telling you you have cancer right the guy telling you have cancer is probably it's a much more reliable source of information than whatever a rich guy tells you he's gonna do uh yeah and and and i mean one of the highlights i remember yeah from his doge 10 year right it's just like you know he removed some names from a list that were that were names of dead people, but people already knew
Starting point is 00:37:40 they were dead people. Right. And they weren't like, it's not like the dead people were getting social security checks and they were getting cash. Like, they were just kind of there. And they and he wrote some tweet writing that he had like deleted the name. Right. And I was like, okay, I mean, look, it's good to, I guess it's good to the cleanup's good. If he did it, but
Starting point is 00:37:59 the whole vibe was like, you know, babe, put a pin in it because you're going to get some information stay tuned. Yeah. And you're going to see how right I was. And then we never heard another thing about it. Right. So what happened? There was a lot of people fired, and then they had to rehire them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:13 You know, that probably- I think they still fired enough people, right? Enough people that was a problem. Mm-hmm. Because, like, you know, they just fired random people. Yeah. I mean, look, I'm sure they fixed a few things accidentally. I'm sure, like, but in the course of just doing a lot of chaotic, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:30 shuffling and number crunching that they fixed something. Right. You know, they couldn't tell you what. administration tech projects now faces uncertainty investors relieved I don't know honestly would you be relieved at this point because I mean the whole thing one of the big things was that he you know everyone and maybe it was George Soros launching you know attacks on Tesla cars I'm not even saying it wasn't I don't but either way but I'm saying if you're if you're one like the Tesla shareholders
Starting point is 00:39:05 And I don't mean me when I owned some Tesla at one point and sold it. I definitely lost money in the process. But the point is, like, it's the people who actually got a ton of it, right? That's true. Like, everyone thinks they're a shareholder, but it's really like 10 guys who were shareholders because they own like $100 billion each or whatever it is, a billion each. Right. And when those guys are like, hey, you know, this political stuff's really a problem, cut it out.
Starting point is 00:39:31 It's like, do you want him back at this point? Like, those guys want him back? Is it good to have him back? Like, is he, like, well, now he's focusing on the business. Well, you saw what focus is. Now that you've seen him take focus away and then put focus on to something else, you can kind of really extrapolate what part of the business is focus is, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Before it was a little more opaque. Like, people used to go, well, you invent, you didn't invent Tesla. Yeah, but he's the magic sauce, right? And now it's a little more clear. I guess you could argue, though. I mean like it started going bad when he got in when he left but really not when he left really when he started firing people and acting like a maniac right yeah yeah just like the his public image oh he never left me when he stopped you know when he stopped showing up to Tesla every day
Starting point is 00:40:18 right for a while I don't know I would imagine any like CEO just being absentee it would be a prop you know no sure I just wonder like a certain point I mean no one likes a cyber truck right uh and I'm not say he didn't do a good job. Look, he did a good job with Tesla for a while. If I'm the one of the shareholders, I'm going to, maybe we just get a boring CEO for a while who like focuses on like, you know, buy for a nickel, sell for a dime, you know, buy a low, sell high. It's not, we don't need. Do people really, like, do the people who buy them hate them, or is it just us, do we just hate seeing them? No. You have a cyber truck and you love it. Let us know why. I am curious about it. No, I mean, I don't have numbers in front of me, but they've, they,
Starting point is 00:41:02 They're sitting on lots. People aren't buying them. I mean, some people are buying them, but a lot less than they thought would. And some of that might be the political thing. They are ugly. I mean, look, here's the thing. I said a year and a half ago, whatever,
Starting point is 00:41:17 when you bought Twitter, he started acting where he is, it's weird. You think, like, the whole electric car thing tends to be a liberal thing. Right. And now he's going kind of conservative. Doesn't he worry about that.
Starting point is 00:41:26 And people told me I was the dumbest, fattest moron you've ever seen your life. you couldn't be a stupid person you deserve to be in hell or just put in the ground you dumb you dumb bastard and it turns out I'm kind of right because the liberals have not bought them
Starting point is 00:41:42 but then the conservatives also are like well that's not really our thing I mean I'm sure a couple of them buy it to troll people but you know I could see a conservative being attracted to the look of it but not the what the cyber truck? It's not really a truck though you can't haul things in it I mean it's got some kind of bed
Starting point is 00:41:58 but it's not like you're not going to put a bunch of lumber in a cyber truck look ridiculous. But, you know, like, it looks intimidating. It looks masculine. No, dope. I'm not afraid of a cyber truck. I'm more afraid of a, of a, of a, of a, of a Volvo with, like, you know, with duct tape and
Starting point is 00:42:12 garbage bags on the windows. I'm not afraid of a freaking cyber truck. But I guess, yeah, the woman, maybe, you have different considerations. What, what, what, what you think is the scariest car? Honestly, I think the, the cyber truck is the scariest commercial car. I mean, I honestly, you, but, obviously, like, a tank would be scary. I think about the kind of person who buys a cyber truck, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Then you're still scared? No. No. Come on. That's what you have to go one step further. But that's why people wrap themselves in scary cars because, like, they're not scary. Yeah, so children are going to be afraid of them. I mean, I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:42:45 What do you think? I'm afraid of a Volvo where they were garbage bags? Well, you know, I'm afraid of a homeowner. You're afraid of a guy's got nothing to lose. That's the point. I'm not afraid of guys spent $300 grand on a cyber truck or whatever they cost. I mean, the Hummer might run you over easily. Yeah, I mean, to your.
Starting point is 00:43:00 credit I mean isn't it minivans usually that are like kind of running over protesters or whatever like they're always like when there's some car like running over protest isn't it always like a minivan or I don't know I don't know how often does that happen maybe I mean you it's funny I mean I spent years thinking minivans were lame and I think most people think they're kind of lame but apparently like if you're parent they they have the most storage of anything you would take a truck I guess it makes sense but minivans really the way to go you got to have a minivan I mean yeah if you want to if he's if you want to run someone over apparently
Starting point is 00:43:33 corned loosely I didn't realize there maybe you should work for the FBI you see those patterns you like the mentalist or something this should be the pilot as you like as you track it down people in minivan a bunch of women soccer moms you have them arrested
Starting point is 00:43:49 under the enemies and sedition act or whatever oh man so good you know farewell to musk that's interesting the Putin thing See I'm better with the papers this week Last week I got a little excited with the papers Right but I am organized now right
Starting point is 00:44:09 That's right Here we go Here's another story Is there a thing for this Or we just the cognitive one Is there a story to go with this Trump shows signs of cognitive decline Says speech expert
Starting point is 00:44:24 Let's see Now when I saw him in that The conference with the South African president. He seemed pretty lucid there. Yeah, he seemed pretty sharp. Crazy, but lucid. Yeah, I mean, look, the guy's always had kind of a strange vibe. I mean, you know, but the speech
Starting point is 00:44:39 experts cites pattern suggesting cognitive, I mean, look, this is like those body language experts, perhaps. Well, I mean, this story might have nothing to it. Where's this from, anyways? The warning comes as Trump and his AIDS are seeking a congressional probe into Joe Biden's mental state during his one-term presidency.
Starting point is 00:44:56 What? Okay. so this is a tit for tat yeah this is this is this is it i love the idea of like hey so like our last president was literally like you know his brain we we just saw his brain's linking out of his ears you know right right but trump seems a little off too right yeah maybe had cancer the entire time you know like maybe not but white house submissions is the mystic suggestion is politically motivated while medical professionals urge caution which medical professionals the search in general this doesn't seem like
Starting point is 00:45:27 like I'm not people I'm not I don't care one way or the other about you know Mr. I mean he's the president I don't like the idea that you can start like you know I feel like Trump look there's a barrier here I feel like you know people like to go tip for tap but Biden you have to remember
Starting point is 00:45:45 Biden was like objectively shot right oh yeah like anyone would be like is he right Trump is a maniac but I mean there's a bar for a president where like you can't just I don't like the idea of just
Starting point is 00:45:59 of people trying to like you know what's next are we gonna have a future where like psychologists now we're gonna run things because they can just they can shut you down from the presidency we need to tell psychologists to shut their mouths right for the most part
Starting point is 00:46:13 and listen to them didn't help us of Biden did it yeah unless you're you're poking into his brain and you're seeing that it's that it's all gray and rotten right but you were not allowed no one's allowed to Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:25 It means, like, it's this thing. The only doctors who would do anything covered it up for Biden, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly. So it's like, whatever. So, like, no one cares about your armchair. I don't need, because then it's like, you're going to be like, oh, do you want to lower taxes? You must be crazy.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And that's just no good. We can't run a country that way. His father, Fred, was reportedly diagnosed with dementia in the early 90s and died of pneumonia and Alzheimer's in 1999. Okay. But what, did he get that when he was like 80? Well, age 93, he died. Okay, I guess Trump is 78.
Starting point is 00:47:00 I guess that's a little older than I thought he was. How old do you think he was, 50? I thought he was more like early 70s. Yeah, he's only 70s. He's an old man. He's an old fart. Look at this picture of him. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Look at that. He looks, I mean, he's like, so why he's taking a little nap during a meeting? Who cares? Trump was the oldest present to be in New York really ever he was older than Biden was Biden seemed a lot older yeah that's really no you shouldn't be proud of that
Starting point is 00:47:32 no good people are crazy what is I mean what is what they want just what I mean look and now people are saying because it's this other thing what's this uh do we do we not talk about I think we left to that but there was
Starting point is 00:47:51 this whole trade they do, right? The, uh, tow trade or whatever. Trump always chickens out or whatever it's called. Hmm. You know what I'm talking? Toad. Oh, oh. Just listen to what I say.
Starting point is 00:48:02 What's the toad trade? What have it here? You told, we didn't tell all that. It's something called, uh, let's see. More about, I love the idea I pull up more papers. Oh, one second. it's the one thing it's not in here
Starting point is 00:48:25 you mean the taco trade taco that's it oh taco did you know that before you just listen um the president uh taco trade Trump always chickens
Starting point is 00:48:40 oh okay it's an acronym wait but I'm saying it has to do the tariffs because but we were this is tariff news what do you want me to talk about that hey he announced more tariffs he took some tariffs away
Starting point is 00:48:50 this can't be news every week this can't be something we have to discuss all the time the tariffs are now just like a weird like it's a weather right you know I mean the Federal Trade Commission made something where they outwalled his tariffs but I'm sure the Supreme Court will shut that down in the week and then we'll see where we're at
Starting point is 00:49:09 I mean he's already pulling the tariffs out I don't know why people are poking the bear by the way and the bear is chaos in this case people like well his tariffs are illegal how about you shut your mouth because you already kind of pull them pulling back. Now he's going to double down maybe, you know? Or maybe, look, maybe he goes, oh, the FTC, this really isn't out for him. He should use this. He might have asked for this to happen. You want my opinion? He went to the FTC, whoever runs down. He says, hey, please make
Starting point is 00:49:36 these illegal. So I don't have to back down on all of them. The perfect exit. That's probably what's happening. Right. That's my prediction. Off the dome, as it were. Right? That's right. gives me any credit for how, how, how, how, how, how, how analytical I am, how much they analyze everything. They just say, they just say, look at you, your piece of garbage. Sick of it. What is this? Bataki is the top, Trump always, how did it taco?
Starting point is 00:50:09 Trump always what? Trump, chickens out. I can't spell. I mean, let's read some of this, I guess. Uh, the term coined by the financial, by a financial times columnist. which stands for Trump always chickens out, describes a pattern in which Trump announces heavy new tariffs, sending markets
Starting point is 00:50:26 tumbling, and then later pauses or lightens them, causing markets to rebound. Yeah, I mean, if you really went into like, because, again, they talk about, like, oh, he's corrupt, is the most corrupt? Was there another thing here? Is it some more, is this something about how he's the most corrupt thing ever, right?
Starting point is 00:50:42 Right. One of these stories here, it doesn't matter. Gold nature of corruption, what is just historic self-enrichment. And they focus on the plane and the hotels. How about the fact, what do you, you don't think someone's betting on this stuff for him? Goes up, goes down, goes up, goes down. Right?
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yeah, right. No, yeah, that's true. I mean, you know, he knows what he's doing. Well, maybe. I'm just saying people, people, if you, if you knew things were going to go up and then go down, then go up and then go down, wouldn't you be able to make a little money? Right. I know, I can make a little money.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Tell me. Get me in on this. You think that's, that is just the whole thing? But it's just it's just elaborate inside of trading It'd be a lot more profitable Than getting some playing from guitar Yes I mean yeah people
Starting point is 00:51:27 He knows people with a lot of money He's got a lot of money I mean I'm not saying he's investing it And you know Robin Hood himself It'd be funny if it was just his Robin Hood account On his phone He's just doing it I mean honestly the guy is pretty brazen
Starting point is 00:51:40 And that's what I kind of like about him sometimes And like he might just If you look at his phone He's just dumping dumping dumping on Robin Hood all day but you know whatever it's all a lot of chaos what you want from me paper paper Texas governor to sign 10 commandments bill Greg Abbott is preparing oh he's a wheelchair right Greg Abbott yeah he is isn't he am I wrong about that I mean I always forget he is
Starting point is 00:52:09 and then he's isn't he a paralyzed guy oh I guess he is I never I never knew you never knew Greg Abbott was in a wheelchair many Texas ask why Governor Greg Abbott is in a wheelchair. He was paralyzed. He's faking a disability. Is he true? I don't know. A summer,
Starting point is 00:52:28 Greg Abbott, when he was 26 years old, decided to take a break from studying from the bar exam and go for a jog in a West Houston neighborhood as he'd done many times before. Oh, this is a more elaborate story than I always thought. Yeah, how about you got shot trying to steal a candy bar? While out running, a large, oak tree along his path cracked
Starting point is 00:52:50 and fell on his back. I knew a guy that this, something similar happened to him. It sucks when a tree falls on you. I think he's an experience to be fair. I think it's the best thing it's ever happened to you. I knew a guy that tree branch fell on his head.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Yeah. And it just, I mean, maybe he's better now, but like it just wrecked his brain. It's an experience. You have to really calibrate yourself. So is he. It's an experience. He wouldn't trade for anything. I wouldn't trade that tree for anything. So, yeah, I mean, it doesn't really matter he's in a wheelchair.
Starting point is 00:53:24 You hear me? Okay. It doesn't matter. Okay. I brought it up. I'm admitting I brought it up in a very kind of like cheap shot kind of way. I didn't even mean as an insult. There's more just like, oh, he's in a wheelchair, right?
Starting point is 00:53:38 And I probably, we spent a lot more time on it than I realized we shouldn't. It's really not relevant to the story. I wonder if he sees the oak tree. like a god thing i wonder if he like i wonder if he reasons it through religiously i think he sees whatever gets him elected um i'm sure he's got a lot of integrity uh Texas governor gregg abbott is preparing to sign into law controversial bill mandating the display of the ten commandments in all public school classrooms the legislation passed by a republican majority legislature has sparked widespread legal and cultural debate uh
Starting point is 00:54:13 we have an article here then anything worth reading here let's see ACLU's man The ACLU But yeah I mean The ACLU really is not the best source They'll just offend You know
Starting point is 00:54:24 Think of the worst thing You ever happen to a child They'll offend the guy doing it You know I'm just saying Like what What happened to when the ACLU I feel like when I was growing up
Starting point is 00:54:36 In the 90s Yeah The ACLU were like the people They were the people Who just believed in The Bill of Rights And the Constitution But they were still defending
Starting point is 00:54:45 The Klan back then Well Well that's what I'm saying, like in the 90s, they were the people who cared about the Constitution so much that they were always defending KKK members Nazis. Right, but they did nothing about the Patriot Act. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:58 You know what I mean? It's all scammed. It's all lies. They may have done a little bit of that. The ACLU is garbage. I mean, the idea of it is nice, but all they do is go out of their way to defend the worst people to just make, hey, hey, like, because it's things in society, right? You have
Starting point is 00:55:15 these rules, right? And then you have people who do terrible things that women and children and horrible thing and you go well we can't like we have these rules for a reason like these people and these people you what they really are is a problem for the system right
Starting point is 00:55:31 it's a it's a bug down a feature it turned on its head there see but the ACLU acts like it's a feature on a bug they act like the whole point is to defend the worst people you could think of they act like that's the reason yeah like that's the price you pay for freedom and they act like that's the that's the that's the thing you get when you buy freedom
Starting point is 00:55:51 that's the problem with the ACLU I'm just saying it sounds nice like well we don't defend this then then then how who's going to defend the rights and we don't defend the worst people you could think of the people who take the lives of children and steal women's virtue see how I'm see how I'm playing the game here if you don't want him to play the game sign of a patriot. You know, they take women's virtue, right? And they go, like, well, this is, if we don't defend these people, how, who's going to defend the old lady who, like, is in trouble?
Starting point is 00:56:28 Like, everyone. Everyone would, first of all. Right. That's covered. We don't need you for that. They might actually be better able to defend her, yeah. One might think. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:38 You know, one might think that social justice would have a better, would have a better shake in politics if it wasn't surrounded by people trying to defend their words. people you could think of. It's almost like they breed chaos on purpose. I wonder who runs the ACLU. Anyway, let's move on. Just saying, I'm just saying. Governor Abbott is expected to sign of the measure.
Starting point is 00:57:01 I mean, look, it's not the worst thing to take amendments, right? It's not the worst thing. It's like, oh, we're not a Christian country or whatever. And it's like, oh, all right. It's just other religions. I mean, look, they are. retroactively Christian, but they're not like innately Christian. Yeah, I don't know why we always
Starting point is 00:57:19 go with the, why don't we just have a crucifix? I'd much rather have a crucifix, by the way. And you go, well, we're not a Christian country. I get it. I've always said that. We're not, we don't have to be a Christian country. We're a freedom country, right? The Declaration of Independence, right? And the Bill of Rights, that's our, that's what this country's about.
Starting point is 00:57:36 But no one else really completely agrees with that. No one else seems to think that, do they? No one else is championing religious freedom. No one like freedom because of the people who are you know so whatever but that being said i don't know the whole worship no god but me thing i mean maybe we maybe we get a best best three yeah just three of the ten commandments there's a murder one murder one i may i may make the and you call it the top
Starting point is 00:58:03 the top three commandments it's just it's just because the other ones the ten commanders are could use a little evidence it's like it's like let's like let's bring up the tank of man let's see what they are I feel like I know I'd love to just I'd love to just have the passion of the Christ how about we just have 10 frames from the passion on the Christ on every wall we know he's got passion of the Christ poster with Mel Gibson's face on it
Starting point is 00:58:30 in every classroom here we go let's read it okay number one let's see number one you who shall have no other gods before me it just doesn't really it just seems like you know for a thing in the classroom it begs questions right two you shall not make idols what does they even mean to people I know what it means
Starting point is 00:58:50 you shouldn't be false idols whatever but it just seems like it's um also kids be making idols all the time I guess maybe that's why you want to see this but they they don't even know how that translates the TikTok they don't know they don't say that Mr. Beast is a false idol Mr. Beast is a golden calf why not just say like rather than just having them up there all the time. Yeah. Why not just say, like, you can, you can teach. Like, I would have, I honestly would have no issue with just teaching the Ten Commandments
Starting point is 00:59:18 because they are pretty foundational and, like, oh, yeah. In general. Right. Right. Like, so, yeah, teach them what they are. Right. Put it in context. You shall not take the Lord, the name of the Lord of your God in vain.
Starting point is 00:59:31 They're all said, four, remember the Sabbath. I mean, keep it holy. That's the thing. You can't, I mean, the begs, here's a problem. It's like, Christians don't follow the Sabbath. The Sabbath. The Sabbath is a Saturday, Friday night to Saturday. I mean, you can say Sunday's our Sabbath, but we don't really treat it like that.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Right. And also, it's Sunday. I mean, honestly, I'd rather, if we're going to have, look, if we're going to do the Ten Commandments in school, it should be number four. Remember the Sabbath day, which is Sunday. Keep it holy. I'm fine with that. But let's just like, let's just not get it twisted that like it doesn't really make sense to have these up. Five, I'm your father or your mother.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Hell no. Not doing that. Six, you shouldn't murder. Fine. I'm cool with that. Eight, seven, you shouldn't commit adultery. I mean, I'm not going to, but eight, you shouldn't steal. All right.
Starting point is 01:00:23 I keep changing you shouldn't. You shall not. Nine, you should not bear false witness against your neighbor. Ten, don't cover it. You shall not with should not. Makes these things much more wishy-washy, babe. The Ten Commandments, no one follows them. They're non-American, and they're kind of like,
Starting point is 01:00:39 it's just the weakest thing to put in schools. like if you want to have a book if you want to say hey we're standing up for our rights we're gonna fight new crusade cool i'm down but let's not get a twisted the Ten Commandments does that the Ten Commandments is a mushy little thing and it's not really and jesus didn't really even he didn't vibe with it they're like oh what's the most important commandment he was like oh love each other which is basically him say go to hell like get lost ask me some questions you're probably trap me in the question rabbi because the rabbi's asking him wasn't it all these important rabbi. And you're like, hey, rabbi,
Starting point is 01:01:13 as a dig, I think, a Jesus. He's like, what's important equipment? He's like, love each other. It was the equivalent to me saying, go, get lost. Yeah. I know what you're doing. So whatever, let's just have a, let's just
Starting point is 01:01:29 do a crusade if we're going to do this. I don't want this just wishy-washy crap. A lot of these things, like, not super relevant to the classroom, too. I'm saying. I mean, the sermon on the mount might be more relevant to the classroom the meek shall inherit the earth be not afraid i go before you always come follow me and i will give you grace beautiful thank you thanks so much for tuning into the show
