RFK was very thirsty. Oh my gosh. I actually just submitted this to Chris Carr, editor to put up on the site while we were on the show because I caught this right at the end.

So we were talking about this a little bit. Have you seen these? There's a screen recording of, from TikTok of RFK. It's this, it's an OnlyFans model and she's posing basically to show off her butt. She's in like black shorts.

And if you look at the comment section, the RFK official TikTok page. Here we go. Wow. With some emojis. It's his legitimate thing. And so today he addressed this in a thread that I actually thought was also very funny.

And it leads off with, because if you'll look at the, it's not there anymore, but if you look at the comment, it was in, I think, September of 2022. Yeah. 22, 9, 16. What? And he said it was in i think september of 2022 um yeah 22 9 16 and what so he said it was a staffer here's his explanation he said which best lead of all time do people

really think i was tick talking in 2022 which is like both true and slightly boomery in like a very nice way and his explanation is that when he launched his campaign his tick tock did not have a thousand followers which is the minimum threshold for going live. So his social media manager, who's this 33 year old guy from Georgia, said, no problem. You'll just use mine. We'll change everything over. But that did not scrub any of the comments. And so it makes me wonder what else is out there.

I don't know TikTok. I don't use it. So I don't know if you can go back and easily find your comments and delete them really quick. Can we find those? Can people is out there like i don't know tiktok i don't use it so i don't know if you go back and easily find your comments and delete them really quick can we find those can people go out there and i i this can't be the only one it was wrong rfk's got a bad pr guy he should have said and i just own it that's what makes them so relatable the thing is he's on his third marriage so people were sort of like it's very kennedy kennedys do people were sort of like it's very kennedy it's on brand people were sort of like this means that he's just this terrible whatever else which again like maybe is on brand roll with it maybe isn't the person you know turn it into

merch they come to me makes me like him more i'm running for president they come to me and they say uh everyone's sort of laughing because they found a comment from you two years ago on an OnlyFans girl with a big butt and I'll go oh but you're not married and I feel like that does make a slight difference but either way like what are you doing with this like it's just funnier if you're and they're like well

what do you have to say about it I don't know like what do you think I'm gonna what am I supposed to what are you supposed to say to this? You can either deny it or there's nothing to be said. Which is, it's really interesting. I mean, I think the question is, remember when it was Bootgate and DeSantis was in trouble

for, you know, maybe, probably wearing lifts in his cowboy boots. And the whole conversation was, would America elect a short president? What are they more likely to do? Elect a president who's short or one who's lying about wearing lifts? And in this case, it's, do we want a president that is actually on social media commenting on OnlyFans creators? Like, I think it's maybe not what they're trying to sell, but maybe this would make him more endearing to many people.

I don't know. He's already like, there's people i know uh women who find him really attractive and when like the whole uh shirtless thing well he posted that like workout routine he's posting thirst traps he's liking thirst traps this is his whole thing allegedly like did he name the staffer like you said 33 year old daily mail um had the guy's name really so so they did rfk released that he's like it's this guy i don't know where it came from You said 33-year-old? Daily Mail had the guy's name. Really? So did RFK release that? He's like, it's this guy. I don't know where it came from.

Daily Mail was the one who said we've identified it as this guy. It was Charles. Yeah, he was like that guy. But also this means that he went to his wife and was like, it's not me. It was that one guy. And we had to do it.

He was like, Cheryl, I stopped this. Two years ago. Two lives ago. But I do, I mean, two years ago. Two lives ago. But I do, I mean, the best defense is, do you think I was TikToking in 2022? And I just, I don't. Who knows?

He was podcasting all through 2023. I feel like podcasting is much more accessible to people of his age than TikToking is. Perhaps I'm wrong. How far back do the videos go that he's posted? This is the only comment that I've seen surface, but his video started right around the time of his campaign. I would have loved it if they reached out to him and they were like,

can you explain what is going on with this comment? And he went, well, you've got to understand that women with very large butts are very sexually attractive and I appreciate them very much. So I thought commenting wow was appropriate here and I appreciate them very much. So I thought commenting wow was appropriate here and I think you would agree. And most men in this country would.

Vote for me. He's like, I like the gym. She likes the gym. I'm just appreciating the fact that she's taking care of her physique. I'm all about that. What if he was like, when they asked like, what is this comment you posted? He'd be like, well, I think you agree with my comment, right? It is a shockingly large but wow he actually gets her to campaign for him now

she is her new she's the new social media director have you seen rfk jr's only fans page look somebody has to win the only fans vote and i think maybe it's going to be rfk yeah i guess i could have been trump i mean his wife has posed nude yeah yeah but she's a classy lady and too classy for only fans yeah no no i i think this is this is um obviously kind of a weird snafu so you believe him you believe his statement i find it really believable that he did not he was not on tiktok i just you know maybe he podcasted but i just like don't give that much credit to the boomers. I think I'm getting stressful. But, you know.

I got to push back on that. I don't think that TikTok is that complicated. And I think that if you're an older married guy who wants to find videos of sexy women dancing around, like you go to TikTok and it's not that difficult to figure out how to Create an account and start commenting on the videos And in fact, I would even argue if you are a boomer, you're probably not sitting there thinking like oh other people are reading my comments

Yeah, this isn't just between me and big bud girl. Yeah, that's how my grandma used the internet She would leave me direct messages, but in comment sections of pictures from like years ago like grandma this is very personal information you're asking right now right no that's true because i think that's one of i mean i've talked about this a little with biden because he just lies so constantly and gets caught all the time but part of it is because he started his career pre-internet so he could just say whatever and no one could really fact check him that efficiently yeah whereas now we're able to go back and be like, two years ago, you said this thing, we have it on video. Maybe this is more boomer core. Maybe I'm not-

The wow comment with two emojis is a boomer comment. I'm sorry. It's not some young guy comment. Young guy would say something like, damn girl, you're looking fine. Exactly. That's actually a really good point. There's one underneath that the girl responded.

The guy's like, why does it look so good? And she like responds, Jim. Jim. She wasn't dating with some of them. How old is the video? Does it say? I mean, the comment was supposed to be in 2022 and i think that's when the video was posted okay but have we found her can we she's around yeah she said she said it was another name who actually commented and then randomly oh she had a comment on the story but she's active on only okay so we

got to find her everybody and we got to find where rf, and we got to find where RFK Jr. was in September 2021. Two. 2022. Where were you, RFK Jr.? Probably writing that Fauci book. That's true. That book is. Oh, wait. We spent a lot of time online researching, question mark.

Okay, here we go. I got her profile. All right. So this one's from, let's get the date on it. It's from September 3rd, 2022. RFK is a man of culture.'s rfk jr they deleted it rfk led me here they must have someone tagged him in a lower comment oh my gosh that's great how can you give me a good morning america tomorrow to talk about this like this is the

kind of thing they would do look she honestly owes some credit there are going to be so many people who know about her this was like marketing in a way that she never could as a woman would you like to have a butt like that oh she posted a video 42 minutes ago no i mean i think it seems too big i just think it's unnatural not my thing it's unnatural to me but also the thing is i think with women wait what there's too much variety in bodies like if i covered it i just built differently she posted it yeah it it. You got my vote. You know what I was thinking for women like this?

I'm like, man, how do you run? How do you do a lot of stuff? Yeah, like big boobs and big asses. It's like, what if you're running from a bear? It slows them down. We have problems. I mean, it could be one of those fake asses. The bear could eat the fake ass. That's a a terrible clue does this get info on u.s elections what oh she

tagged rfk jr because the thing is the screenshots have been out for a while i saw them a couple months ago but they went sort of you know how this happens like something will go around you'll see it but then it started getting shared really rapidly so now i'm thinking his campaign is sharing because his campaign seems to be dying and now they're like we need some type of campaign definitely seems to be dying chris carr just told me this he did an interview where he was saying i have you know 26 i'm i am gaining uh steadily one percent a week i only need 34 to beat both trump and biden which i find really interesting like his only energy is in like kind of whack podcasts like he's just like people i'm sorry are you

hating on podcasts right now well there's like podcasts that like love him that look up to him and they let him like talk forever and there's no pushback on anything and i think it's kind of ridiculous and that's the only place i see energy for rfk junior honestly there's not in the real world that's enough right like that's what i love about a third party candidate we just you can't you can't always weigh the variables i to me like i see people who are interested in him at first but it's really uh people who are also interested in trump and their love of what love they have of rfk is not trumped by trump or no the other way around so i felt like i saw the opposite which is like there were people who were like gonna vote for trump but actually they they lean more moderate or left and they are the ones there's definitely those there's definitely those

because they're like he he's definitely against the vaccine stuff or the covid stuff where they lost you know uh i mean he's socially left in a way that agrees with a lot of them yeah i just think he's still like a liberal at the end of the day and there's a lot of things i really disagree with him on even though i really agree with him on covid stuff he's still like a liberal at the end of the day. And there's a lot of things I really disagree with him on, even though I really agree with him on COVID stuff. He's still the thing that will make for the inevitable world that we're in now. You know, I actually feel like his campaign would be stronger if, you know,

how every once in a while for the past year, they've been like a new version of COVID, another virus. They've been sort of trying to hype that back up. If one of those had been taken seriously, if there had been another, like, are we going to lock down?

Is there an illness fear? I think he would have jumped in the polls right in 2020 i had said something to the effect of if joe biden wins these people are going to show up on like november 10th or whatever and storm the white house they're going to be crazy and furious and i was wrong it was january 6th they went to the they went to the capitol building and but but the general essence was was correct i think what happens with trump and uh this election is trump wins rfk gets 24 trump wins with like high 30 and then the left uses that to argue he's an illegitimate president because of his minority victory do you see trump and rfk working together again no i don't i don't see why they would i mean rfk seems very irrelevant right now but enough people who don't like biden will vote for him and then trump wins the electoral college bare minimum cnn saying trump's gonna have 272 spiking just enough rfk stops joe by joe biden from being able to compete with trump

trump crosses the finish line because it's got to be at least 270 otherwise it goes contingent it could go contingent trump only gets like 30 or so the republicans in the house then vote for trump and the left says it's illegitimate he didn't actually win we refuse to be ruled by a guy who represents only nine they do this thing all the time with senators half the country is represented by only nine million people and they're begging and screaming repeal the fucking 17th that's why you do it anyway what's your read on rfk um i i don't have strong feelings one way or another honestly um i i want him to stay in the race i think it's only good for us if he does stay in i i think he would siphon off Biden votes more than he would siphon off Trump votes. And ultimately, I think that's a good thing.

I don't really care about him that much. I like things he talks about. That's kind of how I felt about Vivek. I mean, I don't like his policies. If that's true, I agree with you. He's much too liberal. Yeah. He's way too liberal.

But then he also talks about things that I really do like where he you know his i mean he knows how horrible the fbi and the cia can be you know he like me believes that they killed his uncle and his father right so he'll talk about crazy you know conspiracy theories about you know because he understands him so intimately and he also wrote a crazy book on fauci that book is a really hard read every few pages i'm like i gotta put this down because i i'm fucking enraged with yo wall street journal laid off their washington bureau during the election year yeah what the fuck hold on hold on holy shit if any bureau i thought that would be the one that washington state i'm just gonna say that okay no but i don't know i'm looking it up but like it can't be this is the year they need them this year or do they yep dc ai holy shit they're going ai 20 staffers laid off in their washington

bureau damn dude why is that so funny to me guys Guys, I just want everyone to understand. The election's over. Who cares? This is the money. This is the golden ticket. Like the amount of money we made off advertisements in 2020. Because what happens is all politicians are running. All of them. And they're all competing for similar spaces when they want donations. Most members of Congress will run ads in their district. PACs, packs however may run more generalized ads in a certain area which can cross over

senators that are running and then of course the presidential race is going to be billions of dollars this is when news outlets are like ramp it up baby we want as much content as possible to get as much ads they're laying people off that's fucking crazy yeah how bad must it be yeah like they don't they don't think they can recover yeah maybe they know something we don't and they're like there's not gonna be an election so we're not gonna waste our time on on it what other beers have they laid off that's my question like was this one the first one to go or have they been sort of letting people go for a minute yeah i wonder how many of these places are really going to turn to ai to write articles i mean we've i've heard stories like that already yeah doesn't buzzfeed do it

already and espn i think what's the difference between ai and their writers hey they have some of the best quizzes i've learned a lot about myself what cereal tells you what city you should live in how would i know if i didn't take the quiz oh geez no i but like do they still do listicles they did i will give it to buzzfeed they had some investigative reporting they did have some and i What would I know if I didn't take the quiz? Oh, geez. No, but like, do they still do listicles? They did. I will give it to BuzzFeed. They had some investigative reporting. They did have some. And I will say like the listicle format worked.

Like it's dumb. It's stupid. But people shared it. Like there is a reason that they were able to say what they were doing for a while there. You won't believe number seven. I was working. You won't believe it. I was writing for Vice when I was, vice sports was the first thing to go i was

actually working for a story for vice sports and right before the story got published it died sort of never got published i'm like damn vice is even going out and that was 10 12 years ago it's wild maybe they should have had better quizzes and they would have survived yeah that's what they needed they just ended up going like full-on porn. Tell me what pizza topping you would put on your pizza and I'll tell you about your future job. I just I learn a lot. I think it's great. Do you have any predictions about this coming election year? Like, who do you think is going to be VP for Trump?

Well, so I did a real turnabout with Vivek Ramaswamy. Didn't like him at all. Okay. Didn't trust him very much. Although I think I had good reasons for it. I mean, let me say this. Okay, so cut to the end. Now I do like him now.

And he's grown on me a lot and he's earned my trust to a degree. I don't trust anybody implicitly, but I think when, when Vivek first came on the scene, he was super polished. His delivery was, was too clean. And I think that's part of what fed into this kind of like he's, he's snaky or he's a,

he's a, you know, used car salesman. He said so many of the right things using the correct buzzwords. I think it did raise some eyebrows. Yeah. But it was just a little bit, I think, too mechanical, a little bit robotic. But I think he started making all the right decisions a little too late. You know, I think when he went down to just like the jeans and the vest and like started talking a little more human and really addressing the really controversial issues like, you know, January 6th and the FBI

and the Whitmer fed napping and all these different things things that you know other candidate was really even talking about um why did i go down this road oh predictions for the election um i i would like i'd be very interested in seeing vivek be considered uh i don't think he will be what was it was there a certain moment that changed your mind on vivek because i still don't trust him there's something about him i just i think he says everything i like i like all the things all the things he says bad he's bad i just i there's something honestly about him that i distrust and i can't really place my finger on it but also about his campaign that i distrust because it reminds me of like a jimmy carter campaign where he's you know a well-meaning person and saying a lot of

great things um but then will fail uh horribly um that's just my gut telling me that well and that was there a moment for you where like that switched in your mind yeah the the the moment for me that it's well okay first of all um his team started reaching out to me um and and we started having communications and i thought that's cool because um i have a huge appreciation for any republican candidate who understands the power of influencers which is not a term i usually use to describe myself but you know we don't have celebrities on the right we don't i mean yeah we don't have a lot okay kid rock i i don't want to talk about it i don't i don't want to react to that um disavow i like kid rock though i'm just gonna put that i i like kid rock too no but we don't have actors and actresses we have sort of people who are in media or

correct yeah yeah and um and they're rarely ever well utilized by most true presidential campaigns. And, and, but so Vivek's team was the first to start, start reaching out to influencers and invite them, come hang out on the bus with us. You know, come,

come out on the trail with us. And I was one of the people. So I was like, well, you know, no matter how I feel about him, of course I'm going to go because I want to get to know, I would do that.

If Biden said, come ride the bus, but you're like, absolutely. I'll be, of course, the megaphone because i want to get to know i i would do that if biden said come ride the bus but you're like absolutely you know of course the megaphone yeah with it for sure yeah yeah and you can see up close and personal what's really going on yeah so spent the day with him in iowa um a couple of months ago and uh went to six campaign stops and i'd say between stops three and four or four and five um they let me do a i don do a 35 minute interview with him on the bus. And, you know, the first half was just general questions. Second half was all January 6th. And I explained to him a lot about January 6th, things that I've never had an opportunity to say

to any politician because I've never been granted that opportunity, explaining things like why people are pleading guilty to things they didn't do, why people are taking plea deals, period. Things that the public at large doesn't know yet because everybody who took a plea deal is still on probation and can't speak freely about why they made the choices that they made. And so one of the things I said to him in that moment was, and this was not a live interview. I got to edit all this out later.

The public has never seen the conversation we had. But I said to him, look, you keep saying that if you're elected president on day one, you're going to pardon all nonviolent J6ers. I said, here's the problem I have with that. A lot of people are pleading guilty to violence who did not commit violence. A lot of people are confessing to doing, you know, fighting with police officers who did not. It's not true, but they're being given no choice. And I said, so if you're elected president or if you come into power, I need you to assure me that you're going to look at every case, case by case, give the defendants a chance to explain why they pled guilty and did what they did. And then you make the decision about who gets pardoned and who didn't.

And I made him literally say it back to me, which he did. And then for the rest of the day, on the remainder of the campaign stops, four, five, six, because he had been talking about J6 on every stop and saying, on day one, I'm going to pardon all nonviolent J6ers. He immediately changed his messaging right after that conversation. And for the rest of the day, he said, on day one of my administration, I'm going to pardon all nonviolent J sixers. And he said, and then the next thing we're doing, we're going to do is go case by case and get an understanding of, you know, what these cases are really about, why people made the decisions that they made.

And then we'll start issuing more pardons beyond that. And I was like, that's really impressive to me. I can dig that. And, and not only did he say it the rest of the day in front of me on those stops, he has said it on Fox news.

He said it on all of his live appearances. I mean, it's something. He's always taking it to heart. That's appearances. I mean, it's something. He's always taken it to heart. That's great. I mean, that's great. I'm not saying, you know, I'm going to give him all my debit card codes and everything, you know. But he earned some

trust. But that's the thing, and I get a lot of people tell me, like, maybe Tim has said it, you know, he's shifted the Overton window. And that's great, right? And I totally get it. And you giving him that idea and him taking that idea and running with it with a bigger megaphone perfect yeah that's gonna call it i like pointing at me i was like hey jim what's up all right let's do that indeed uh we got a good uh this girl's still on the tiktok screen man no uh she's like put up here like come on ai porn what are we doing there you go there you go stop it hannah clare now uh now she can focus

all right let's get that call america first you are on the air how are you i'm good thanks for taking my call. Of course. So I'm wondering if the panel remembers in 07 during an interview with the retired General Wesley Clark. He told a story when he visited the Pentagon in October of 2001, right after 9-11. And he said that an active general approached him, showed him this memo that he had just gotten from the Secretary of Defense office about how the U.S iii iran kind of bs that it really doesn't have anything to do with biden precisely but it's more of just like the deep state continuing right that whole that's why hillary clinton lost that's why hillary clinton lost partly i mean trump didn't win by that many votes but people knew things like this and that got enough people to be like,

I ain't going to vote for a warmonger. And she's unlikable. But of course, we knew as soon as Joe Biden got in, he was going to re-kick off this plan they've had for a long time. You think it's kind of the way that a lot of people talk about it on the right and conservatives they keep saying

biden's doing this biden biden who is you think it's an error to keep saying it like that no because biden biden is doing it he's part of it you really he's doing it you really think he's mentally even around at all that he's even doing anything besides like taking medicine and well yeah I'm not saying that it's his plan it's the CIA it's a deep state intelligence assets the permanent government and he is the current uh uh figurehead for this plan when we say Joe Biden's doing it's especially important because we want to vote him out you go around telling people vote for Donald Trump because we're up against insert intelligence officer and they're gonna be like who so joe biden is the front face of this plan and he represents everything they've done up to this point yeah they're just using him i do agree with that i

just sometimes i think we miss the deeper plot and people keep wanting to point fingers at biden and he just seems so feeble i just doesn't seem like he's doing much. I think it would be fair to say even if he's not doing much, he's still playing a role in a theoretical plot, right? It's unlikely that it's one person who's just calling every single shot all of the time. It's more likely that there are lots of cogs that are put in place to make this ultimate plot move forward,

in my opinion. Yes, very true i don't know that yeah well if there's anything else uh if you're going to add anything else to add to that no that's it thanks guys thanks for calling in pointing that out that is an important story people should know about yep appreciate it all right brian threat to democracy oh hello how are you? How are you all doing tonight? Can you hear me okay? Loud and clear.

All right, good deal, good deal. I've got a question for the whole panel. Today on scanner.com, Hannah Clare had an article up about a current Supreme Court case where West Point is having to defend its use of diversity bills as a criteria for selecting cadets sorry the argument being that having a diverse officer is important for national security reasons given that the service academies are the most selective colleges in the United States by far shouldn't they be looking for the best candidates or it is their merit to the argument that having a diverse officer corps is an important goal?

No. Agreed. No. It should be on a case-by-case basis. What do they offer us? Are they good leaders? That's all we need. Yeah.

This is the interesting – I find Students Preferred Admission a really interesting organization. organization and obviously they were the ones who led the first lawsuits that the UNC and the Harvard lawsuits that ultimately led to the Supreme Court invalidating affirmative action and then this is their their next go-round because in the original Supreme Court ruling they noted specifically that the military academies are exempt from this because they're technically part of the Department of Defense. They're a different thing. They're regulated differently. And I find if you read the I think I pulled a chunk of it for that article. But if you read the complaint filed by Students for Fair Admissions, they say West Point used to be about ability and leadership and it used to be about what they brought to the

table. um ability and leadership and it used to be about what they brought to the table but it has now shifted to uh prioritize race over these things and they specifically take complaint with the fact that um they publish their their goals they have specific we want to have this percentage of the next class be african-american be asian be whatever uh and their argument is that this is discriminatory and ultimately as long as this goes on it's um it is that this is discriminatory and ultimately as long as this goes on it's um it is a it is discriminatory to every pool of applicants because you know you already have to you you mentioned this caller but you already have to be um you know harvard doesn't make you pass a physical fitness test it doesn't make you get sponsored by your state senator right

you you have to work really hard to get into these things and if you're willing to do all of that as well as potentially sacrifice for your country shouldn't you be admitted based on your merit not based on race i uh grew up on west point this is my home of my whole life my parents are still there uh i was raised by these cadets they happened to be black and white and boy and girl from all over the place. But they were all, but like that didn't matter. They were all like the most craziest, smartest people I've ever met. Like leaders and really literally physically strong,

had to run a certain amount of miles every day. There'd be certain things that they would have to do, whether it's carrying your books in a certain hand or knowing how many lights are above you because you've counted them prior days. And then when you're asked, you need to know how many lights are above you. Stuff like that.

Over the years though, some of those things have started to fall away. So you can't, let's say they call pinging, which is when you have to walk around in the summer when you're wearing your shorts, your socks would be all the way up to your knees. That's pinging. And you'd be hazed if you weren't pinging your socks.

That's gone away. There was something kind of nice about the hazing. I thought not to a certain degree, obviously it can get really bad, but the hazing kind of built a camaraderie and also made you on point for every day that you were there. But now it's, because my parents are still there,

I've seen that these kids are just soft gamers. We had a freshman hell week at the my high school that i went to for a few months and once everybody knew when it was the freshman just stopped didn't show up right that's like that's like a up thing yeah but whatever i don't give a at school i think there's a a piece to this too that we're not really identifying which is particularly when you're talking about something like the military i'm i didn't join the military and i'm not from a military family but i mean it's it's always kind of been my understanding that pretty much on like day one when you enter the military your individual identity ceases to exist and it's really about you

becoming a part of a unit and part of a chain of command. And what they're doing essentially is prioritizing identity. And so they're saying the chain of command in a way doesn't really exist anymore. It's your blackness and your transness and your individual identity and the way that you see yourself and perceive yourself now kind of supersedes all things in a way. And that should be the last priority for the, like, look, if we're going to have DEI at all, I mean, maybe it should be in circumstances where we can actually learn about each other's cultures in an environment where it's appropriate. You know, what is it like to grow up on the West Coast versus the East Coast? What's it like to grow up? You know what I mean?

There might be times where that would be valuable information. When you join the military, it's unimportant. I don't care if you're rich. I don't care if you're poor. I don't care what the color of your skin is or your gender. Rich and poor both matter. I'm just saying that I think that you're supposed to shed your identity and your identity becomes about protecting the United States of America. So actually, the military considers your wealth for two reasons. If you're in massive debt, you're a security risk.

You might sell secrets or try and make money to cover your liabilities. considers your wealth for two reasons if you're in massive debt your your security risk you might sell secrets or try and make money to cover your your liabilities sir and if you're too rich you will disregard orders and eventually buy your way out so that and that i agree but that should that probably doesn't apply as much to the cadets who are coming out of high school it might be there you think because i feel like 100 does they have to write there have been there have been many uh people who have enlisted and then their wealthy parents changed the rules, got them special privileges or got them out or things like that. And this is just my experience. So it doesn't mean it's the truth at all.

But like I noticed that a lot of kids who were second or third generation West Point kids, me and their parents went and their grandparents went. Sometimes they didn't take it as seriously as the kids who were the first generation. And some of those families had lots of money cause they were like generals, you know, and stuff like that. But yeah, I don't know. I'm thinking about this and I think about how didn't Mattis even defend

teaching critical race theory at West point two or three years ago. That's the thing. It's never just the super, it's never just checking boxes and saying like, you know, I want to see X number of black faces and X number of whatever the next step. There's always the next step and always the next step and then it becomes well having to get up at 5 a.m is racist that's you know this group of people isn't used to doing

that punctuation right there was ironing your uniform is racist it's my favorite thing is like the dress code rules the army has and uh there's a difference between the rules i don't want to i don't want to speak out of turn but i just you know my brief experiences there are certain ways everyone is expected to dress but there's actual codified rule they're not the same and so i think it's something like your belt has to be above your belly button or something there's like a because it was the rule was made back in the 40s or whatever, but nobody does that anymore. Now everyone's basically improperly wearing a uniform.

It has to be a quarter inch above or below your belly button, and you can opt to wear it just above. Exactly. And so you look goofy with it pulled real high, but if they yell at you for it, they're breaking the rules. Anyway, was that sufficient, sir? Yeah, I hope that was enough there no thanks uh for the answers i i thought that was a great discussion and uh appreciate you having me on once again thanks for calling in thanks for reading scanner it's the best

thanks mate uh all right we got a big one here sniper 493 you are live how are you doing good doing good thank you for listening this is actually my first call in right on so so this is actually a question for the whole crew and it's a white pill question amelia's plane might have been found. Amelia Earhart? You guys thoughts on her, on, on this and her achievements that she has done. I thought they already found it. I thought it was like, she washed up on some Island and they found her bones.

Yeah. That's what I thought too. There was a report this week with someone saying like, they have a theory about where it went. Right. I'm looking at our, our spooky paranormal. I don't want to,

cause I am typically the white pill person, but I'm like this is probably a fake but did you see that report do you know anything about it no i haven't i have not seen this um deep sea visions um which is government funded but did sonar images and they have an image that they picked up that looks like it might be her lockheed 10E Electra. Oh, wow. And where is this? Yeah, did they say where? Let me see. They didn't say where.

They just found it. They're like, no, we're not going to tell anybody. We found it. It's a secret. It's like Texas. We found it. Someone built it and then put it there and then they found it. I also feel like this is bad timing to bring up Amelia Earhart,

given all of the stuff around diversity, higher pilots and all women. Maybe just your Howland Island. OK, Howland Island. OK, interesting. Yeah, I just again. She's not the female pilot I would invoke. You know, it's really funny how many works of fiction have her depicted as being abducted by aliens. Yeah, it's like, dude, she crashed.

What the fuck? Like, there's no big mystery. It's like, she crashed. I don't know, whatever. What if the aliens made her crash? I feel like aliens would be better right now. Again, we'll see. She landed in Japan and lived a long life.

Yeah. That's right. Also, what if she was just like, bye, guys. I don't want to be a female pilot anymore. And then she couldn't tell anyone. So she had to just like retreat to another city. So she had to kill herself because she didn't want to be a female pilot anymore? And it's secretly.

And she's like living in Siberia. Being like, I just can't get back on the plane. So you're saying she's still alive. Oh, I have no idea. Well, like Captain America. I thought you were saying she intentionally crashed the plane because she didn't want to be a female pilot anymore. No, no, no. The plane crashed. And then she went't want to be a female pilot anymore. No, no, no. The plane crashed.

And then she went underwater where she froze, like Captain America. And she'll be thawed out, waking up in this strange new world. What if she reversed Ariel and she went down and was saved by a very handsome merman and converted to living under sea? Yeah, she became the ghost of Kiev years later. Well, anyway, I don't know what else to say about fun conversation stories it's like if they come out and tell me they found uh the malaysian flight i don't even think i'd believe that that's that's how skeptical i am of everything i know it's a problem we know i know but like how could we how could we because there's also reports of people uh uh a really i forget who his name was

big company buying almost an exact replica of that plane that went missing six months before it went missing so you know it's it's hard to know anything is real anymore i feel like helen keller was involved yes so you're saying she's a psyop too absolutely and she was just faking everything or she wasn't faking everything and she was flying the plane that's why I crashed. Again, not a good season for female planes. Did not expect to get a hell of a kind of impersonation tonight. That's what I want to see.

Guys, thanks for this question. That was fun. See, it was a white pill in and of itself. We're all happy and laughing now. So thank you. Take care, guys. Thank you again and have a great night. Have a good one tonight. Likewise. What a fun good night likewise uh hope to hear you call in soon yeah scuba steve you are alive how are you hey doing good how are you all doing thanks for having me on again good man right on bro

hey i got a uh i got a little bit of a darker but a fun question for the whole group just to see what y'all would think. So what fictional dystopian future from literature, games, or film do you believe bears the closest resemblance to our current geopolitical landscape? And what aspects of that dystopia do you see mirrored in our own reality? And how can we learn from the different lessons and parallels and navigate the challenges of potential pitfalls in our present political climate. Did you read that off paper? I wrote it down on a note. It's all of them. Yeah.

It really is. We're being spied on. We're in the panopticon. There's collective censorship of information. We're being drugged to keep us happy. Insert all of them. You got Viva Vendetta and they got a pandemic. mean come on manufactured virus in a lab world war z world war z like it does seem like they uh they took a little bit of the best it's a bit we're in the best of version

of dystopias uh because yeah i'm trying to think of that movie it's an old sci-fi movie where everyone has to kill themselves at a certain age logan's run logan's run because even that to some degree is like how people are sacrificing themselves now whether it's the maid program where's the where's this dystopia where the government starts mass sex changing everybody yeah that was that was our original thought the one had what would you say telling everyone there's a documentary on this they can start on amazon prime and they were saying at a certain point like their whole thing was like i'll help you find your soulmate and then they weren't it wasn't working and so they started being like because it was predominantly women they would

go to someone and be like actually your spirit is male so you should transition and then we'll marry after this lady because that way our premise works. Well, for me, I would say the one way that I've navigated this dystopian landscape is I believe in God, and I didn't believe in God for most of my life. And God has at least, at most, given me an anchor in a non-reality where nothing and everything can be true. So you're sympathetic to Gilead then. Yeah.

The thing is, I've been watching Handmaid's Tale for the first time. I'm super late to this, but I have to say, some rough stuff, but Gilead doesn't always seem so bad to me. I'm a Gilead sympathizer in some ways. Again, not everything. Some of it's not good, but it is interesting to see dystopians where you're like, the world I'm living in right now has some really dark stuff too. I don't necessarily want this entire world but there are definitely changes there are things that i

don't what are the moral failings of gilead you know i think the force handmade thing is like a little what does that mean what does what does that mean force handmade that's leftist propaganda oh that's that's fair and also women like being moms they well but that's the thing it's actually you have to convince them about the surrogacy. They run into issues when the candidates get attached. For real, though, what in the in The Handmaid's Tale was depicted as Gilead being bad? I understand like women have to have kids, but like. And the men are like they all have like the Jezebel's thing.

So they're actually hypocritical. I mean, like negatives or whatever. But their water is clean. Their birth rate is up. I mean, some stuff is. And they all wear these gorgeous capes. I mean, I negatives or whatever, but their water is clean. Their birth rate is up. I mean, some stuff is and they all wear these gorgeous capes. I mean, I just don't understand. You're sold on these capes. I love capes.

This is a whole new fashion podcast that I'm in. But yeah, there are some negatives for sure. I didn't like it when they would like cut off pan mates eyes and stuff. Negative. But again, something is working. I just haven't watched it look let me tell you there are some characters that i just and also the the i'm really wrecking this question for this caller but i just found that like june osborne is just like she becomes more and more

horrible the whole time so she really did not sell me on this like weird America, Canada, other world. She's your Lee and I don't like her. So you're into it. I think we should consider Gilead as a film. No, no, no. You're into watching the show. Oh, yeah. You're enjoying it.

Yeah. I don't watch a lot of stuff, but I got into this like I had time off around Christmas and I started watching it. Again, I remember being in an internship like after college when this came out and and people being like feminism but it is like not a good i think the feminists got this all wrong you know so i highly recommend it right now but you have to remember that they want you to hate gilead and you really can't uh well scuba steve uh i hope that was uh at least at least something of an answer somewhere

yeah it sounds like um the greatest hits of dystopian future is where we're at um quick before i hop off you guys mentioned mattis earlier i highly recommend if you haven't seen it there's a video of him arguing with kamala harris pull that baby up and watch it because it's great because it's talking about recruiting Marines and stuff like that. Cool. Awesome. Thanks for that.

Yeah, thanks, man. Cheers. That was an awesome question, though. Yeah, that was great. I'd like to sit with that question. Yeah, that was a good one. I feel like I want to really think on that some more. We should have a show where we dig deep

on these questions sometimes, you know? But that's actually what they do on the Discord to shout out anybody else and check out the the later shows in discord they actually go through with the people that call in and then they actually have them like ask any more questions with people that are watching etc amazing but yeah it's it's really quite cool i never knew about it it is uh usmc bert hello how are you going on what up just uh just hanging out at work man you know but first of all tim your uh sex change dystopia is probably cyberpunk 2077 yeah i got a whole bunch of gender swaps and stuff but like forced i don't know i don't have

a force but uh you can my question is you guys are talking about the illegals joining the military and everything. And I've been reading The Print by Machiavelli again. Nice. That's a good one. And he has an entire chapter dedicated to that. And that is how one of the main reasons a nation will fall in a print will lose his power by outsourcing his military. I highly recommend you all pick it up. It's only like eight bucks and I think it's free on Audible. But what do you guys think about that and the use of outside forces and mercenaries

that can just be bought off by china it seems plausible and horrific yeah yeah i mean well stated it's gonna it's gonna water we're already watered down we don't have an army our population is a mess you know yeah our population doesn't feel united like the party they don't i mean i was listening to uh biden spoke at the national prayer breakfast this morning and he's talking about all these international things you know we need to pray for enough i'm not against praying for ukraine praying for israel and how like those are not necessarily horrible sentiments but then at the end he's like i've always said that we need to see each other not as enemies but as americans you want to be like you're one of the most divisive people you're constantly driving divide you can't just pay lip service the idea of unity like

you need to promote a national culture that encourages you there is a reason that older generations saw it as their duty to sacrifice for their country and younger generations don't there was a reason that younger generations say things like well i didn't choose to be alive like this is a very pessimistic and selfless culture and i think that is one of the reasons that we ultimately say well somebody else can serve in the military i'm not gonna do it can we rewind real quick did you say that biden spoke at the prayer they let him they let him pray uh at least let him talk i don't know if it counts as a prayer if you're just delivering remarks. How do you sound?

Did you watch or listen? Yeah, I watched. He sounds slurred. I mean, it's just the way it is. But he also spoke last year. This is something presidents do every year. Yeah, they all do it. Yeah.

What if on Super Tuesday, like Biden croaks? Who do they install? Kamala Harris is like, here we go. My time to shine. James O'Keefe stopped that. I mean, on another chapter, he McInerney also has on those who have become princes by crime. So I kind of feel like that fits all of our politicians.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a timeless book. I remember reading that in like maybe freshman year of college and being like, it's kind of tough read, but there is a wisdom to this uh that i should probably pay attention to like that one 48 laws of power and uh how to win friends no not art of war i read that one later on

but how to win friends and influence people were books i read in like the first year or two out of out of high school and in university 2010 2011 and those books uh helped me do a lot of things yeah do you think they still teach machiavelli in college these days? Dude, I doubt it It's too dark, the material is just too dark The things he talks about are just too dark It's just too mean You think they would though because they love power so much

I know, right, you think power dynamics would be all they would talk about They don't unfortunately, I doubt it at least Yeah, right on Was that good sir? Oh yeah Yeah, alright Thanks for calling in yeah that was awesome was that good sir? oh yeah alright thanks for calling in yup alright man cheers
