Will Romania Join the Far Right? | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

WEBVTT
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.160
Good morning. It's already the first day of October
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.039
2026. This is DeProgram with Ted Rall and
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.000
Jamarl Thomas. Thanks for joining us. We're here
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.920
for the normal one-hour show today. We go until
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.039
10 o'clock. TMI coming up at 10. Thanks for
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.359
joining us. Good morning, Jamarl. How are you doing?
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.619
Good morning. Doing okay. All right. Cool. All
00:00:33.619 --> 00:00:36.700
right. Let's do the rundown and we'll get to
00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:41.859
it. Crisis in Romania. It looks like the centrists
00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:44.100
running the government right now are not going
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:48.299
to be able to form a government coalition in
00:00:48.299 --> 00:00:52.039
order to appoint a prime minister. It looks like
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.859
a snap election is going to be called. Very likely
00:00:54.859 --> 00:00:58.719
that the AUR, which is the Alliance for the Union
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.719
of Romanians, a so-called far-right party,
00:01:01.899 --> 00:01:05.079
is likely to prevail there. So we'll talk about
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.680
the political implications there. A ridiculously
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.480
insane, horrific fiasco in the state of Tennessee
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.420
prison system, where Christa Pike was scheduled
00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:20.659
to be executed after a nine-hour delay caused
00:01:20.659 --> 00:01:24.560
by court hearings. They went after her not once
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.459
but twice with so-called lethal injections.
00:01:27.819 --> 00:01:31.640
Both of them failed. She's alive right now at
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.000
the hospital. So they're trying to save her life
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:40.709
after they incompetently tried to kill her. It's
00:01:40.709 --> 00:01:44.890
a total nightmare. Skynet appears to be official
00:01:44.890 --> 00:01:51.109
now. The Autonomous Warfare Command is being
00:01:51.109 --> 00:01:54.870
created by our very totally straight Secretary
00:01:54.870 --> 00:01:59.129
of Defense, Pete Hegseth. And last but not least...
00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:02.769
The FBI is charging a nurse, a hospital nurse
00:02:02.769 --> 00:02:05.030
in the state of Michigan. Her name is Chloe Freeman,
00:02:05.230 --> 00:02:10.650
with helping an ICE detainee to escape custody
00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:14.490
and flee off into the mean streets of Michigan.
00:02:15.389 --> 00:02:19.310
Okay, so where shall we... Oh, please like, follow,
00:02:19.370 --> 00:02:22.289
and share the show. If you have any comments
00:02:22.289 --> 00:02:24.229
or questions, go ahead and put them in the live
00:02:24.229 --> 00:02:26.389
chat. Producer Robby West will go ahead and
00:02:26.389 --> 00:02:29.969
put those in. And we're looking forward to hearing
00:02:29.969 --> 00:02:32.889
from you about anything and everything that you're
00:02:32.889 --> 00:02:36.729
thinking about. OK, so am I missing anything?
00:02:36.969 --> 00:02:40.669
I think that's about it for now. All right, shall
00:02:40.669 --> 00:02:43.150
we? What do you want to talk about first? Oh,
00:02:43.150 --> 00:02:47.580
geez. I guess we can do the Romanian elections.
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.419
Călin Georgescu was supposed to be the
00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:55.580
prime minister or the president of Romania at
00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:58.780
this point. And the European Union effectively
00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:01.979
worked with the Romanian, let's say, deep state
00:03:01.979 --> 00:03:03.740
in order to get rid of him. And I don't like
00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:05.259
using the term deep state because oftentimes
00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:11.150
there's a politicization to it. There's a kind
00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:13.479
of esoteric quality to it. But I mean this in
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.219
the truest sense: people that were aligned
00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:18.500
with opposition parties did everything in their
00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:21.659
power to avoid and get rid of the will of the
00:03:21.659 --> 00:03:23.939
actual Romanian population that was going to
00:03:23.939 --> 00:03:26.960
vote him into office. He was in the second election.
00:03:27.219 --> 00:03:28.979
He was about to win that second election. And
00:03:28.979 --> 00:03:32.400
all of a sudden the election gets scuttled and
00:03:32.909 --> 00:03:36.509
he gets arrested. It's stuff like this,
00:03:36.590 --> 00:03:39.150
right? It was going on with, obviously, it was
00:03:39.150 --> 00:03:40.530
the European Union that was putting pressure
00:03:41.090 --> 00:03:43.129
on the Romanian government in this case because
00:03:43.129 --> 00:03:44.830
they wanted their military base to be built.
00:03:44.909 --> 00:03:46.990
Georgescu was not necessarily on board for that
00:03:46.990 --> 00:03:49.229
military base to be built, in which case this
00:03:49.229 --> 00:03:51.129
would have been a hitch to NATO's aspirations
00:03:51.129 --> 00:03:56.629
in Romania. Hence, you get a rando that they
00:03:56.629 --> 00:03:59.490
end up putting in after Georgescu gets removed.
00:04:00.110 --> 00:04:03.930
So, yeah, I'm not shocked that the Romanian population
00:04:03.930 --> 00:04:06.349
is not necessarily on board for it, or that they're
00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:08.250
having difficulty forming a government after
00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:13.659
this corrupt cabal comes into office. So that
00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:17.259
is what happened. Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah.
00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:20.740
So, all right, winning it. Yeah, they're going to win
00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:23.920
it. Okay, so two questions. Obviously we
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.220
know, well, one's an observation, one's a question.
00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:30.540
So austerity obviously is always unpopular wherever
00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:33.439
and whenever it's tried, and yet the
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.680
ruling elites just can't help themselves because
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.000
they think we have too many nice things. But what
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.879
about the Russia-Ukraine
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.319
aspect of this? Romania is
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.480
in Eastern Europe. It was formerly part of
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.480
the Warsaw Pact, and Russia is...
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.420
There's a lot of people who still have lots of
00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:58.779
warm fuzzies for Russia. And so,
00:04:58.850 --> 00:05:03.279
where does the tug of war between the EU and
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.639
Russia, how does that play out here? It seems
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.259
like the AUR coming to power would be good news
00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:13.220
for Russia, right? I think they're just
00:05:13.220 --> 00:05:18.839
pro-Romanian, which there's a difference, right?
00:05:20.259 --> 00:05:22.339
It's not that they don't think we have too many
00:05:22.339 --> 00:05:24.600
nice things. They just want more, and they just
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.480
want to maintain the more that they have, if
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.540
that makes sense. Meaning there's a finite amount
00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:31.709
of resources they need to take from you in order
00:05:31.709 --> 00:05:33.970
for them themselves to have, and vice versa.
00:05:34.329 --> 00:05:36.550
If you want to give more to the population itself,
00:05:36.769 --> 00:05:38.430
then the rich are going to get less, because more
00:05:38.430 --> 00:05:40.069
money, less money is going to be going into those
00:05:40.069 --> 00:05:43.269
things. In the case of this, yeah, I don't think
00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:44.889
they're pro-Russian. I think they're just
00:05:44.889 --> 00:05:47.889
pro-Romanian. Meaning, you may get a German
00:05:47.889 --> 00:05:51.370
party, for example, in Germany that says, yeah,
00:05:51.470 --> 00:05:55.089
we want our health care. We believe it's in the
00:05:55.089 --> 00:05:56.790
best interest of people to have a free education.
00:05:56.970 --> 00:05:58.370
We believe it's in the best interest of people
00:05:58.370 --> 00:06:00.560
to have so-and-so. And so, no, we don't want
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.339
to have these stupid wars. We want to ensure
00:06:04.339 --> 00:06:06.959
that Romanians have what's best for Romania.
00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:10.319
Meaning, that's a nationalistic position, which
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.300
is less pro-Russian. It's just what is in Romania's
00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:16.360
best interest. And war in Ukraine is not in Romania's
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.579
best interest. It's just kind of that. Meaning,
00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:20.500
Romania doesn't need to be a front line against
00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:23.579
the Russians. It's not Romania's interest to
00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:27.610
be fed to the Russians. It's kind of
00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:31.990
analogous to after 9/11. New York City, which
00:06:31.990 --> 00:06:35.050
was hit the hardest, was the least supportive
00:06:35.050 --> 00:06:37.569
of George W. Bush and his global war on terror
00:06:37.569 --> 00:06:41.209
of any state in the country, right? And similarly,
00:06:41.610 --> 00:06:44.310
Eastern Europe, with the exception of Poland,
00:06:44.529 --> 00:06:48.930
is far less, quote-unquote, afraid of the big
00:06:48.930 --> 00:06:52.129
bad Russians than Western Europe, like France,
00:06:52.250 --> 00:06:54.790
where really they have nothing to fear, even
00:06:54.790 --> 00:06:57.930
if Russia was exactly what they claimed
00:06:57.930 --> 00:07:00.910
it was. They would have the least to fear,
00:07:01.110 --> 00:07:04.189
and yet they're the biggest fearmongers. Yeah,
00:07:04.290 --> 00:07:06.589
but it's France. France got taken over in a few
00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:13.129
days. That's the World War. Yeah, it's wild.
00:07:13.350 --> 00:07:15.069
But the same thing is true. In fairness,
00:07:15.089 --> 00:07:18.470
it was six weeks, but OK. Okay, fair enough, fair
00:07:18.470 --> 00:07:21.050
enough, fair enough. I'm being hyperbolic over
00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:23.589
here. Yeah, they lasted longer than Denmark. It
00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:27.160
was like six hours. Yeah, it was quick.
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.620
The Germans. I surrendered. Ran them over. And the
00:07:29.620 --> 00:07:31.879
other
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.360
thing about the French is they had terrible generals,
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.600
right? There wasn't a lack of fighting
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.019
esprit among the people, at least among
00:07:40.019 --> 00:07:43.279
the soldiers, at first anyway. But
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.500
it was just a fiasco. They planned very, very poorly.
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.899
Yeah, yeah. Well, they thought they planned very
00:07:50.899 --> 00:07:52.600
well, with the Maginot Line and all.
00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:55.579
Well, people forget that the Maginot
00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:58.939
Line actually worked, right? The German
00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:04.259
military went around it. If it had been extended
00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:06.259
across the Belgian border, that would have been
00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:07.720
a different thing and would have been tested
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.899
differently. But the Germans didn't fuck with
00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:12.379
the Maginot Line. No. They just went around it.
00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:14.519
No, you're right. You're absolutely right.
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.360
I forget the name of the pass that they went
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.959
through, but yeah, they just went around it.
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.259
No, look, I think it's kind of like immigration.
00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:24.139
You would get people who are in states
00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:27.579
that are nowhere near the Mexican border who
00:08:27.579 --> 00:08:29.399
would be complaining about immigration and who
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.200
are basically autonomous, meaning they basically
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.559
are one group. It's like Iowa
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.519
might be 99% white or something like that, and
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.000
you still get people complaining about immigration.
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.700
I think it's something very similar. It's this.
00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:46.659
Not to mention, France and Europe have gone
00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:50.360
to war with Russia so many times, over and
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.299
over and over again. They just keep doing this.
00:08:52.299 --> 00:08:56.409
And so this is kind of just old hat for France,
00:08:56.409 --> 00:08:58.750
the UK, and all of these states. Keep
00:08:58.750 --> 00:09:01.230
in mind when Napoleon went into
00:09:01.230 --> 00:09:03.649
Russia. Yeah, it was Russia at the time when Napoleon
00:09:03.649 --> 00:09:06.149
went into Russia. This stuff has been going on
00:09:06.149 --> 00:09:08.330
for hundreds and hundreds of years, and they
00:09:08.330 --> 00:09:10.610
just keep repeating this history over and over
00:09:10.610 --> 00:09:13.269
and over again. I would imagine if you're Romania,
00:09:13.549 --> 00:09:16.029
you don't want to die for the Europeans or the
00:09:16.029 --> 00:09:20.159
Americans, which is a rational position. Yeah,
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.679
the Romanians are just on the traditional invasion
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.299
route, like Belgium. Nothing personal, just passing
00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:30.179
through. Yep, just passing through. Sorry about
00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:35.190
your sovereignty. So, yeah.
00:09:35.889 --> 00:09:38.710
It's not on board for dying for the Europeans
00:09:38.710 --> 00:09:42.950
and for the Americans. Good for them. No doubt
00:09:42.950 --> 00:09:45.789
about it. Okay, we've got a few comments here
00:09:45.789 --> 00:09:50.789
we should get to. Jackson, JT, Robby, if the
00:09:50.789 --> 00:09:58.009
caliphate and/or sultanate was reinstalled, would...
00:09:59.019 --> 00:10:01.759
the world, in your opinion—sorry, there's some
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.659
misspellings here—be better, as Jews were protected
00:10:05.659 --> 00:10:11.340
by Caliph Umar in Palestine and Saladin al-Ayyubi
00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:15.450
as well. Okay. I don't know if the world would
00:10:15.450 --> 00:10:19.529
be better, but it is true, as Ben
00:10:19.529 --> 00:10:22.129
Moser explained, author of Anti-Zionism and
00:10:22.129 --> 00:10:24.409
Jewish History, explained here on the program
00:10:24.409 --> 00:10:28.769
last week on Tuesday. It's true that
00:10:28.769 --> 00:10:32.610
Jews lived in peace in the Arab world,
00:10:32.610 --> 00:10:35.509
not just in the Ottoman Empire, but throughout
00:10:35.509 --> 00:10:38.230
the Arab world for hundreds and hundreds of years.
00:10:38.230 --> 00:10:41.669
And one episode that we didn't
00:10:41.669 --> 00:10:44.190
really get into a lot of detail with Moser,
00:10:44.190 --> 00:10:48.990
but even as late as the 1940s, there were
00:10:48.990 --> 00:10:52.169
over 100,000 Jews living in Baghdad, which was
00:10:52.169 --> 00:10:56.269
then part of the post-Ottoman Empire, Iraq.
00:10:56.690 --> 00:11:01.629
And they would still be there today if not for
00:11:01.629 --> 00:11:05.309
covert Mossad agents who went and set off bombs
00:11:05.309 --> 00:11:08.470
in synagogues and Jewish businesses to make them
00:11:08.470 --> 00:11:11.289
think that they were being driven out by the
00:11:11.289 --> 00:11:14.009
local inhabitants and to terrorize them into
00:11:14.009 --> 00:11:17.350
fleeing, because the new Jewish state of Israel
00:11:17.350 --> 00:11:21.070
just wanted population numbers. They wanted Jews.
00:11:22.110 --> 00:11:24.750
They didn't plan to treat the Iraqi Jews well.
00:11:24.830 --> 00:11:27.230
They called them the Arab Jews. They just wanted
00:11:27.230 --> 00:11:30.769
them there as a form of demographic warfare against
00:11:30.769 --> 00:11:34.769
the Palestinians. And that kind of thing
00:11:34.769 --> 00:11:37.769
happened all over the Arab world. If
00:11:37.769 --> 00:11:41.029
the state of Israel had never existed after World
00:11:41.029 --> 00:11:43.570
War II, it's not like Jews were going
00:11:43.570 --> 00:11:45.789
to be massacred all over in all these Muslim
00:11:45.789 --> 00:11:48.110
countries. Nothing would have happened. Life
00:11:48.110 --> 00:11:50.950
would have gone on, right? Well, and the massacre
00:11:50.950 --> 00:11:52.570
didn't take place in a Muslim country. It took
00:11:52.570 --> 00:11:56.559
place in a German Christian country. Well, exactly
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.539
right. So it's like, yeah, it's like
00:11:58.539 --> 00:12:02.600
you get it. It's just all based on lies.
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.419
Another, let's see, under Enloe: I was in there
00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:09.340
in lower Manhattan to see the first and second
00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:14.590
tower get hit and fall. Okay. Okay. A lot of
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:18.429
people were. I did not see. I was in New Jersey
00:12:18.429 --> 00:12:20.750
when this all went down, but I made it back by
00:12:20.750 --> 00:12:25.490
four or five in the afternoon. Okay. So, oh,
00:12:25.610 --> 00:12:28.990
I guess we should just, we've now had
00:12:28.990 --> 00:12:32.730
a little time to digest the news of the flydubai
00:12:32.730 --> 00:12:37.950
incident. Right. So the official story that's
00:12:37.950 --> 00:12:41.769
been basically carefully massaged by Benjamin
00:12:41.769 --> 00:12:44.129
Netanyahu and the Israelis is that there was
00:12:44.129 --> 00:12:47.250
a passenger revolt. It reminds you of shades of United
00:12:47.250 --> 00:12:51.409
93. And so the official story
00:12:51.409 --> 00:12:54.110
is that this part of the story does seem to
00:12:54.110 --> 00:12:57.129
be true, that the co-pilot stabbed the Indian
00:12:57.129 --> 00:13:01.639
pilot, right? The co-pilot was Omani. He,
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.559
obviously someone stabbed him, and it was probably
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.740
him, right? The plane, at this point, a struggle
00:13:06.740 --> 00:13:09.980
ensues. The plane loses, which by the way kind
00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:12.059
of surprises me. I guess they were not on autopilot
00:13:12.059 --> 00:13:15.840
at this point. Did he have a knife on the flight?
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.360
Right, that's a good question, right? They obviously
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.269
didn't search him on the way in.
00:13:21.269 --> 00:13:25.730
It didn't go off. The plane goes
00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:30.870
from 34 to 17,000 feet in a matter of
00:13:30.870 --> 00:13:35.049
seconds. So, having been on a plane
00:13:35.049 --> 00:13:37.669
that lost not that much altitude in a matter
00:13:37.669 --> 00:13:40.450
of seconds, let me just tell you that it's a big
00:13:40.450 --> 00:13:43.870
jostle. It's
00:13:43.870 --> 00:13:46.950
terrifying. You can hear on one of
00:13:46.950 --> 00:13:49.899
the cell phone videos that I saw. You can hear
00:13:49.899 --> 00:13:52.200
that. It's like a movie. You can hear the plane,
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.379
the engines whirring, and you can hear almost
00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:58.759
the metal fatigue groaning, right? And
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.639
people are screaming. It's terrible. There's
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.559
a steep pitch. Anyway, these people
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.059
probably thought they were going to die. So then
00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:09.639
here's where the story becomes, let's just say,
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.620
a story. And maybe it's true. Maybe it's not true.
00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:15.919
But the story is that the passengers then broke
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.240
down. They recovered from the fall and their
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.360
disorientation. Some of the big bruiser
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.600
Israelis made their way into the cockpit, overcame
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.700
the assailant, and detained him. And then the
00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:33.779
story changes between either the heroic Indian
00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:37.639
pilot successfully, despite his wounds, successfully
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.980
lands the plane, or a Russian and a Ukrainian
00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:46.159
pilot who happened to be aboard decide to
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.820
put their national differences aside and
00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:53.120
say, attention, ladies and gentlemen,
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.860
are there two pilots on board by any chance?
00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:59.100
And they landed the plane in a total
00:14:59.100 --> 00:15:02.179
kumbaya, Zelensky-hangs-out-with-Putin moment.
00:15:02.179 --> 00:15:05.139
And then they land the plane and
00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:07.860
that's it. And there's so many. Look,
00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.200
when Netanyahu speaks, you always
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.799
have to assume lies are happening. Yeah. There's
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.940
video of one of the passengers with
00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:20.039
a bloodstained T-shirt meeting Netanyahu. And
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.840
he said, oh, I kept asking for my luggage. Otherwise,
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.019
so I could change my T-shirt. And Netanyahu
00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:30.299
goes, come here, big guy. It's OK. And the thing
00:15:30.299 --> 00:15:33.220
is, it's an airport. They don't sell
00:15:33.220 --> 00:15:37.240
T-shirts at the gift shop. The guy's wearing
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.740
a T-shirt. Anyway, the point is, maybe this
00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:43.590
is all exactly being presented as. But it just
00:15:43.590 --> 00:15:47.730
seems like a perfect narrative for these bold
00:15:47.730 --> 00:15:52.269
Israelis fighting Arab jihadis, breaking down
00:15:52.269 --> 00:15:54.590
the door, despite the fact that the cockpit doors
00:15:54.590 --> 00:15:56.809
are supposed to be reinforced with steel doors
00:15:56.809 --> 00:15:59.309
ever since, through the last quarter century.
00:16:00.490 --> 00:16:03.570
I don't know. I don't know what to think here.
00:16:03.669 --> 00:16:06.789
I guess I'm just in wait-and-see mode, and we'll
00:16:06.789 --> 00:16:09.250
see what more comes out. But I'm not taking this
00:16:09.250 --> 00:16:12.230
at face value. Yeah, I don't think anything about
00:16:12.230 --> 00:16:13.789
it one way or any other, if I'm being honest
00:16:13.789 --> 00:16:18.350
with you. Could it be true? Sure. All sorts of
00:16:18.350 --> 00:16:19.830
things can be true. There could be a ham sandwich
00:16:19.830 --> 00:16:25.080
on the moon. Is it true? I have no idea.
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.179
It could be. There are a few things
00:16:28.179 --> 00:16:29.899
that are very dodgy with this. A, how did they
00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:33.059
get the knife on board? B, how did they break
00:16:33.059 --> 00:16:34.919
the cockpit door down when that door was supposed
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:40.549
to be reinforced? How? How did they move so quickly
00:16:40.549 --> 00:16:45.029
after this big drop in altitude? Well, that too.
00:16:45.409 --> 00:16:48.389
So there was a drop in altitude
00:16:48.389 --> 00:16:51.629
of 17,000 feet. And we're supposed to believe
00:16:51.629 --> 00:16:53.649
that the people had presence of mind to raid
00:16:53.649 --> 00:16:57.129
the cockpit, break the door down, arrest the
00:16:57.129 --> 00:17:01.830
guy that was violent, apparently find two pilots
00:17:01.830 --> 00:17:03.730
that were on the plane to get into the cockpit.
00:17:03.990 --> 00:17:06.170
And as you point out, a kumbaya moment, land
00:17:06.170 --> 00:17:09.680
the plane. Is it possible? Sure, I suppose it's
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:14.509
possible. Do I buy it at face value? No. And
00:17:14.509 --> 00:17:16.490
of course, what's always lost here is the political
00:17:16.490 --> 00:17:19.049
motive, right? If true, the political
00:17:19.049 --> 00:17:22.049
motive obviously would be revenge for Gaza and
00:17:22.049 --> 00:17:24.490
an attack on Israel. Netanyahu is a flamboyant
00:17:24.490 --> 00:17:25.970
liar, so I don't believe anything that comes
00:17:25.970 --> 00:17:29.390
out of his mouth. Oh, yeah. He makes Trump look
00:17:29.390 --> 00:17:34.009
honest. Yeah. Okay, here we go. A few more comments
00:17:34.009 --> 00:17:36.269
and then we'll switch over to maybe Tennessee
00:17:36.269 --> 00:17:39.609
or something. Zachariah, how has extending shows
00:17:39.609 --> 00:17:42.569
to two hours on select days going on your guys'
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:44.910
end? Has it boosted the numbers? Hope the show
00:17:44.910 --> 00:17:47.450
is recovering financially. Also excited to see
00:17:47.450 --> 00:17:51.410
if any subscriber videos will come. Well, so
00:17:51.410 --> 00:17:54.029
Robby's probably in a better position to answer
00:17:54.029 --> 00:17:57.710
the question about how the numbers are, but
00:17:57.710 --> 00:18:00.599
they definitely look better to me.
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.039
I feel like we're recovering, and I think
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.920
it turned out to be a great idea. Thanks, Jamarl,
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:08.700
for that idea. Well, if you're running
00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:11.579
a show that's an hour, and let's say you bring
00:18:11.579 --> 00:18:15.160
on 300 people that are watching, the moment that
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.019
you stop, those 300 people go away, right? They're
00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:19.619
doing something else because they're trickling.
00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:22.900
Yeah, they're just saying, even if
00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:25.180
it's not like you're not really doing
00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:27.680
anything, oftentimes you just get a momentum of
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:29.920
people just staying. You just get higher numbers.
00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:33.319
Plus, if you listen to us, you can't possibly
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.299
break away. We're just too interesting. That
00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:41.400
too. Especially Robby. No, it's a love-hate
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:42.839
relationship with me. There's some people who
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.960
just hate my guts, and they rage-watch. Or people
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.839
are like, maybe this guy's got a point. There's
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.279
almost no middle ground. No, the numbers are
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.160
definitely going in the right way. They're trickling
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.700
up. The membership numbers are going up.
00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.599
I'm even seeing bleed-over
00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:01.640
on the gaming channel, which I appreciate
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:03.720
because that's how I pay my bills now. And somebody
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.740
that seriously, that helps a ton. No,
00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:08.839
it's going the right way, and we're starting
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.640
to get noticed. I guess I'll let this cat out
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.299
of the bag later on this month. I don't have
00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:18.740
a day yet, but Jeff Dornik is going to be having
00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:22.259
a debate between your favorite communist,
00:19:22.339 --> 00:19:28.599
Ted Rall, and Dinesh D'Souza, the Republican arch-
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.799
Zionist. And Ted, I hope that you eat his liver
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:37.980
live on screen. Yes. A friend of the show, Jeff
00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:41.259
Dornik, is going to have that on. You either
00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:45.759
keep down your shield or come back with it. Oh,
00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:48.940
let me put it this way. I will be fully
00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:52.559
caffeinated, fully prepared. Yeah. Never
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.690
underestimate your enemy. The merch selection
00:19:56.690 --> 00:20:01.329
is growing, as y'all can see. It's all going
00:20:01.329 --> 00:20:03.829
in the right direction. Things are going good.
00:20:03.849 --> 00:20:08.730
The numbers are going well. Seriously, the biggest
00:20:08.730 --> 00:20:11.230
thing that y'all can do, y'all being the audience,
00:20:11.289 --> 00:20:14.329
to help the show grow is share the content.
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.240
It costs you absolutely nothing. And that's one
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.119
of the biggest metrics on YouTube. Actually,
00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:22.029
don't forget to subscribe, too. Yeah. Well, sure,
00:20:22.029 --> 00:20:23.950
but if you're looking at a monthly supporter,
00:20:23.950 --> 00:20:26.029
it's all the difference in the world because
00:20:26.029 --> 00:20:28.529
that's just sort of a, look, if
00:20:28.529 --> 00:20:30.829
everybody kicks in five or ten bucks
00:20:30.829 --> 00:20:34.789
a month, the show is
00:20:34.789 --> 00:20:37.730
fine. Then we can do big things. We can
00:20:37.730 --> 00:20:41.890
pay our own bills,
00:20:41.890 --> 00:20:44.589
which is a big thing. But the show
00:20:44.589 --> 00:20:46.410
will be guaranteed to go forward. It's not going
00:20:46.410 --> 00:20:50.140
to be just hanging on by a thread. Yeah, for sure.
00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:54.779
And we can travel. We could have events. We could
00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:58.980
do all sorts of shit. I'm curious. You piqued
00:20:58.980 --> 00:21:04.339
my curiosity. So the debate is going to be geopolitics.
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:06.700
I said, Ted is an atheist. I said, if you want
00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:11.799
to do Christian Zionism versus real Christianity,
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.519
I'm the better guy for that to go after Dinesh.
00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:19.750
I said, for geopolitics, Ted Rall, because Ted
00:21:19.750 --> 00:21:22.829
Rall has traveled the region. He covers
00:21:22.829 --> 00:21:26.069
the stuff. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's his life. And the
00:21:26.069 --> 00:21:27.930
best part is that Ted isn't bought and paid for
00:21:27.930 --> 00:21:30.670
by a lobby. They're not the ones who are financing
00:21:30.670 --> 00:21:33.769
his books. And more importantly, Ted brings these
00:21:33.769 --> 00:21:35.990
things called facts, and all Dinesh can do is
00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:39.150
bloviate and filibuster. The dude's a total douchebag.
00:21:39.150 --> 00:21:42.569
If there's ever been an example of a failed abortion
00:21:42.569 --> 00:21:48.700
ever on a live stream, this will be clubbing a
00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:50.500
baby seal, and that's what I'm looking forward
00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:55.259
to. And this is wild because I don't underestimate
00:21:55.259 --> 00:21:59.420
my enemy. I think on Tuesday, because I was talking
00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:00.720
with Jeff, he's like, Robby, would you mind if
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.180
I interviewed you? Because he watches
00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:06.880
our show. And it's like, sure. I
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:09.099
felt like I was cheating on y'all. And by the
00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:13.539
way, who's Jeff doing it? Just one more time. He's
00:22:13.539 --> 00:22:16.720
the CEO of Pickaxe. He was the CEO of Pickaxe.
00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:18.660
He's a big member of the Republican Party. He
00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:21.480
actually got expelled. He's been kicked out of
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.680
the club. Well, he's very critical of Trump for
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:29.740
his failure to adhere to America First principles.
00:22:30.299 --> 00:22:34.880
Yeah, for sure. I read his critiques
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:39.980
every day on X, and he's spot on. Jeff Dornik
00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:43.420
is awesome. If I was articulate, I would be like
00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:45.880
a Jeff Dornik. The problem is I'm not that polished.
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.500
Jeff's smooth. And he looks like Alexander Skarsgård,
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:59.240
which makes me jealous. Okay, here we go. A few
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:01.660
more comments, then we'll move on to some more
00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:04.039
topics. Manchild, it's interesting that Muslims
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:08.559
have a history of respecting and protecting
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.779
the Jewish faith and culture, whereas the Israeli
00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:13.059
Jews just want to wipe Muslims off the face of
00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:16.299
the map. No questions. Well, I think it's
00:23:16.299 --> 00:23:18.859
different in that, okay, so the Muslim conquest
00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:22.920
took place basically 1,400 years ago,
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.359
right? So that part, look,
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:28.759
you can look at the map of where Islam is
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.500
dominant. It's massive. It's a huge swath of the
00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:33.819
world, so they don't have that insecurity.
00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:36.680
The Israelis basically
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.920
swept in and muscled their way into this tiny
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:42.339
little patch of territory where
00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:44.680
they're not wanted and don't really have any
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.220
real legitimacy. And they know they did it by
00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:50.339
force and that everybody there hates them. I
00:23:50.339 --> 00:23:55.420
think the Muslim world dominates an area
00:23:55.420 --> 00:23:58.839
that has so many religions, not just Islam,
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:03.000
that it behooved them for peace and quiet to
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.849
sort of have a tolerant policy towards
00:24:06.849 --> 00:24:09.509
other religions. And not to mention, historically,
00:24:09.509 --> 00:24:12.690
Jews were often the
00:24:12.690 --> 00:24:16.869
dominant traders and financiers and
00:24:16.869 --> 00:24:20.009
brokers along the Silk Road, where
00:24:20.009 --> 00:24:22.890
Islam was dominant, and they were an important
00:24:22.890 --> 00:24:25.349
part of the economy, right? So you're not going
00:24:25.349 --> 00:24:27.869
to get rid of the people who are issuing
00:24:27.869 --> 00:24:31.190
bills of sale and stuff all along the way
00:24:31.190 --> 00:24:34.529
and running the bazaars and stuff. So also, historically,
00:24:34.529 --> 00:24:36.759
there's a lot to it. Well, historically also,
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:38.339
this is going to be controversial. It shouldn't
00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:41.359
be. It's a matter of historical fact. The Jews
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.380
in the Middle Ages were natural allies of Muslims
00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:46.920
because both Judaism and Islam teach that Christianity
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:50.140
is idolatry. It's a heretic religion. And the
00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:53.519
whole reason the First Crusade happened was
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.880
because the Muslims kept going into Anatolia.
00:24:57.960 --> 00:24:59.619
They captured the Greek islands. They captured
00:24:59.619 --> 00:25:02.759
Crete, captured Sicily. They sacked Rome and
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:05.640
nearly conquered France and Iberia. And that
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:09.920
was all financed by Jewish trade financiers.
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.460
Christian Zionists like to look away from this.
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:15.579
Oh, well, they try to whitewash it. But that
00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:18.099
is true. And there was also an alliance of convenience
00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:20.839
economically, right? Because compound interest
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:24.960
is haram in Islam, but Jews don't have that problem.
00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:28.339
So you kind of need compound interest. So it's
00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:31.660
kind of like, we'll do this together. Yeah, but
00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:33.000
if you're going to be an empire, you've got to have
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.269
money. Even in 1453, who was it that bought the
00:25:36.269 --> 00:25:39.130
cannons that the Turks used to bring down Constantinople's
00:25:39.130 --> 00:25:42.569
walls? It was Jewish bankers. That's considered
00:25:42.569 --> 00:25:44.609
anti-Semitic. I don't know why. It's a historical
00:25:44.609 --> 00:25:47.410
fact. Constantinople would have fallen
00:25:47.410 --> 00:25:51.609
anyway. That was the last year of Butcher's Bill.
00:25:51.829 --> 00:25:55.009
It was the equivalent of Hiroshima in terms of
00:25:55.009 --> 00:25:59.630
closing the deal. Okay, so let's move on here.
00:26:00.950 --> 00:26:03.819
Duskburn. Ted doesn't believe in the Flight 93
00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:06.220
let's-roll scenario, right? Are we being too
00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:09.099
cynical here? Let's-roll scenario. What's the
00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:12.359
let's-roll scenario? That's like Todd Beamer
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.500
on United Flight 93 with the drink cart of death
00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:19.819
saying, basically, allegedly they broke
00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:24.380
into the cockpit on United 93 on 9/11 and caused
00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:26.819
the plane to crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
00:26:28.029 --> 00:26:30.029
I think there may have been a passenger. Look,
00:26:30.150 --> 00:26:32.730
there certainly was talk of there being a passenger
00:26:32.730 --> 00:26:36.150
revolt. That almost certainly is true. Whether
00:26:36.150 --> 00:26:38.990
it actually happened, who knows. Whether it was
00:26:38.990 --> 00:26:41.410
successful at gaining access into the cockpit,
00:26:41.609 --> 00:26:44.009
who knows. Whether that's what caused the plane
00:26:44.009 --> 00:26:47.910
to come down, who knows. I don't believe that
00:26:47.910 --> 00:26:50.109
it caused the plane to come down for the simple
00:26:50.109 --> 00:26:54.269
reason that the plane went nose-first into the
00:26:54.269 --> 00:26:57.650
ground and just left a crater. And yet an
00:26:57.650 --> 00:27:00.049
engine part was found 12 miles
00:27:00.049 --> 00:27:04.049
away, and a bunch of seats and papers and stuff
00:27:04.049 --> 00:27:06.730
from the flight were found miles away from
00:27:06.730 --> 00:27:10.190
the crash site, which indicates to me that
00:27:10.190 --> 00:27:12.009
it was shot down by a missile. And if you read
00:27:12.009 --> 00:27:17.769
the 9/11 Commission report, the timeline is
00:27:17.769 --> 00:27:21.069
like, well, we have X number of minutes to intercept
00:27:21.069 --> 00:27:23.430
the plane, right? Cheney gave the
00:27:23.430 --> 00:27:26.940
shoot-down order. Well, the plane comes down after
00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:29.640
that number of minutes. So to me, that's just
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.859
arithmetic. So there's no word in the report
00:27:32.859 --> 00:27:37.299
that the pilots of the U.S. Air National Guard
00:27:37.299 --> 00:27:40.319
flights that were dispatched to shoot down that
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:43.440
plane had trouble locating it, couldn't find
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:48.440
it. There's no talk about that. So given all
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:50.259
those facts, yeah, I don't believe it. Well,
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:52.539
it's also an incentive for them not to say that
00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:55.460
we shot down one of our own planes. Right.
00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:57.660
They really thought it was going to ruin
00:27:57.660 --> 00:27:59.480
that no one was going to want to fly anymore.
00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:01.960
Right. They were worried about that. It was going
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.859
to destroy business. Well, it looks bad.
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.980
To say that the U.S. military had to
00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:08.900
shoot down one of its own airliners, as opposed
00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:11.920
to the people and the passengers in the plane
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.140
heroically taking down the plane in order to prevent
00:28:15.140 --> 00:28:17.500
it from hitting its destination. Again,
00:28:17.619 --> 00:28:18.680
I don't even know if they could break through
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:20.420
the doors. The entire point. I don't know that
00:28:20.420 --> 00:28:24.859
either. And in my view,
00:28:24.980 --> 00:28:26.359
it's always funny in the movies. Doors
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:28.119
are always easy to break down. But if you've
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:31.319
ever tried to do it, it's not that easy, especially
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:35.160
in the middle of a chaotic situation. Yeah, I
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.440
just don't really believe that. I personally,
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.640
if I was on that hijacked plane—I don't say
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.019
this cavalierly—I would have no problem with
00:28:44.019 --> 00:28:46.400
the government shooting down the plane. I would
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:48.920
say that's what I think. It's probably
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:51.279
the only thing that the Bush administration did
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.619
well that day. Well, that's all they could do.
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:56.160
That is literally all they could do.
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:57.900
They had no power over the plane at the point
00:28:57.900 --> 00:29:00.559
where the plane was taken over. And again, I
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.700
don't know if people are that heroic.
00:29:03.700 --> 00:29:05.519
I don't know if people will rise up because they
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:07.240
have a clear understanding
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:10.380
of what's happening and they rise up. And I would
00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:12.220
imagine that the terrorists... Well, they had some understanding
00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:15.039
because they've been talking on the phone to
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:16.619
their relatives. They knew about the World Trade
00:29:16.619 --> 00:29:21.680
Center. Oh, I see. I see. But it's still a tall
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:24.420
order for me to believe that they rose up and
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:27.519
tried to break down the door in order to take
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:31.220
over the flight and do what they believe. How
00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:33.960
are you going to land it, right? Is this going
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.359
to be one of those things like you're sent with
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.000
Sandra Bullock on the flight and Keanu Reeves
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:42.759
was going to explain how to bring the plane in
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.440
for a landing? Because where were the pilots?
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:48.289
Were the pilots dead at that point? Pilots were,
00:29:48.309 --> 00:29:51.109
yeah. Well, yeah, the pilots had
00:29:51.109 --> 00:29:54.390
their throats slit. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So yeah,
00:29:54.430 --> 00:29:55.829
they would have had to somehow land the plane.
00:29:56.109 --> 00:29:59.289
Yeah. I don't know. I think I'm on team Ted on
00:29:59.289 --> 00:30:01.819
this. It just doesn't really, it just doesn't
00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:04.700
make sense. I don't want to hate the story.
00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:08.019
I just don't think, cold-bloodedly, I just don't think it's
00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:10.119
true. Well, every incident in the world
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:13.470
is for
00:30:13.470 --> 00:30:16.230
the U.S. to not own up to the fact that it shot
00:30:16.230 --> 00:30:18.970
down an airplane. It looks better to say these heroic
00:30:18.970 --> 00:30:23.450
people, these heroic Americans,
00:30:23.450 --> 00:30:28.049
any random American, right, sacrifice their lives
00:30:28.049 --> 00:30:30.309
for the larger objective of so-and-so. That story
00:30:30.309 --> 00:30:34.009
sounds great, but it may just be, well, we shot
00:30:34.009 --> 00:30:35.630
down our plane because we didn't want that plane
00:30:35.630 --> 00:30:38.750
to hit. And frankly, again, I have no problem with
00:30:38.750 --> 00:30:42.539
that at all. But yeah, but see, they don't like
00:30:42.539 --> 00:30:44.759
the story. I think they just don't like that story.
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:47.539
Yeah, the airlines didn't like that story either.
00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:52.299
Farhaj, morning all. Jamarl, no show this morning?
00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:56.130
No, I wasn't feeling well this morning. I have
00:30:56.130 --> 00:30:59.450
a show tomorrow, though. Okay, good. Exile, if
00:30:59.450 --> 00:31:01.470
you don't see the Luciferian militant river running
00:31:01.470 --> 00:31:03.910
through history, you don't have the perspective
00:31:03.910 --> 00:31:07.630
to understand the definitions properly. I like
00:31:07.630 --> 00:31:10.750
the word Luciferian. Luciferian is a great word.
00:31:11.990 --> 00:31:15.029
Godspeed, Ted. Thanks for the $10. Dead Mean
00:31:15.029 --> 00:31:18.069
Club. Also, side note, have you seen David Grusch
00:31:18.069 --> 00:31:20.670
talk about the greys and reptilians fighting
00:31:20.670 --> 00:31:23.529
the U.S., killing reptilians after being attacked?
00:31:23.710 --> 00:31:27.369
Do you all believe in aliens? Oh, fuck. We now
00:31:27.369 --> 00:31:31.109
move to the Jamarl Thomas section. Grusch said that?
00:31:31.609 --> 00:31:35.299
I didn't know Grusch said that. Yeah, I got to
00:31:35.299 --> 00:31:38.039
look that up. I didn't know Grusch said that. What
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:41.240
the U.S. military has been doing is, hey, there's
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:42.920
something there, but we're not going to explain
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:45.960
what it is. And the reality of it is, what you
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.319
see as a craft is less interesting than what's
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:51.579
in the craft. At least to me, it was always,
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.460
right? It's like something built that craft.
00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:56.500
How did that craft get here? Where's the craft
00:31:56.500 --> 00:31:59.019
located? Many times what we're seeing are these
00:31:59.019 --> 00:32:01.539
kind of small craft. Okay, well, how did they
00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:04.400
get here? That type of stuff. I did not know
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:08.180
Grusch went that far into it. That would be very
00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:11.799
interesting to hear. I got to be honest
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:13.099
with you. I would prefer him not doing that.
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:16.720
Even if it's true, I would prefer him not doing
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:20.970
that. It's too much. Nothing about this. Nothing.
00:32:21.230 --> 00:32:23.490
So, okay. David Grusch is a whistleblower. David
00:32:23.490 --> 00:32:28.269
Grusch works for the U.S. military. And he came
00:32:28.660 --> 00:32:32.220
out and basically exposed. And by the way, legitimately
00:32:32.220 --> 00:32:36.980
did so. Not like 20 years ago. Like a year or
00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:41.990
two ago. And his credentials were on point. Everything
00:32:41.990 --> 00:32:45.869
checked out. So he is who he says he is. But
00:32:45.869 --> 00:32:49.609
Grusch is saying, look, I was working for the
00:32:49.609 --> 00:32:53.930
military, picking up crash retrievals. That
00:32:53.930 --> 00:32:56.430
was his point. And he even goes into explaining.
00:32:56.589 --> 00:32:58.009
And when he wrote the book, a lot of the book,
00:32:58.089 --> 00:32:59.630
they wouldn't even let him write a lot
00:32:59.630 --> 00:33:01.329
of the stuff, because the military, when people
00:33:01.329 --> 00:33:03.710
write books, the military has to approve the
00:33:03.710 --> 00:33:06.029
book that is being written. So any book that
00:33:06.029 --> 00:33:08.049
you've ever read on anything that came out of
00:33:08.049 --> 00:33:09.950
somebody in the military, they had to get approval
00:33:09.950 --> 00:33:13.190
for that book. And in Grusch's case, a lot of
00:33:13.190 --> 00:33:14.930
that stuff wasn't even approved. He had to kind
00:33:14.930 --> 00:33:19.670
of write around it. Now, Grusch is real. I would
00:33:19.670 --> 00:33:23.099
prefer him not saying that. A, I don't believe
00:33:23.099 --> 00:33:26.640
in reptilians. There's that. And my belief, I
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:28.180
guess, doesn't really matter. You don't think
00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:33.410
he was real? I just don't buy reptilians. I love
00:33:33.410 --> 00:33:38.750
the show V. Just saying. Nah, I don't buy it.
00:33:38.769 --> 00:33:41.349
It's real. No, I don't think it's true. I would
00:33:41.349 --> 00:33:45.190
believe Stargate is more real than V. I don't
00:33:45.190 --> 00:33:48.309
think V could be real. I've never seen V. I want
00:33:48.309 --> 00:33:50.470
to see it. I don't know where I could find it,
00:33:50.509 --> 00:33:53.369
though. Unfortunately, it's really hard to find
00:33:53.369 --> 00:33:56.069
on streaming. I had to buy copies on DVD.
00:33:57.059 --> 00:34:00.130
That's unfortunate. There's a lot of shit that's
00:34:00.130 --> 00:34:02.200
not available on streaming. You should be a real
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:04.119
friend and burn it for me and send me a copy.
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:07.559
We'll talk about that. I do have a friend. I
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.239
can do that. Of course, I'm live on stream.
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:13.719
But I never violate any intellectual property
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:17.059
laws in the United States. Never. We would never
00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:20.159
do that. Actually, though, I'm pretty good. I'm
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.440
relatively good about that compared to most people.
00:34:22.659 --> 00:34:24.280
All right. Let's talk about... I'm going to look
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:25.780
up the Grusch thing just for the audience member.
00:34:25.940 --> 00:34:28.340
I'm going to look it up. All right. Tennessee,
00:34:28.699 --> 00:34:32.789
this poor lady. Not something you normally say
00:34:32.789 --> 00:34:37.010
about a murderer. But Christa Pike, when she was
00:34:37.010 --> 00:34:42.510
18 years old, she and two people, including her
00:34:42.510 --> 00:34:45.710
boyfriend at the time, murdered basically for
00:34:45.710 --> 00:34:48.349
fun because she was fucked up. She was mentally
00:34:48.349 --> 00:34:53.909
ill. She was on drugs. And they lured one of
00:34:53.909 --> 00:34:57.349
their acquaintances out, who she thought was trying
00:34:57.349 --> 00:35:00.050
to steal her boyfriend, out into the woods and
00:35:00.050 --> 00:35:04.369
murdered her. The boyfriend carved a pentagram
00:35:04.369 --> 00:35:08.389
into the body of the murder victim to try to
00:35:08.389 --> 00:35:10.230
make it look like it was a devil-worship
00:35:10.230 --> 00:35:14.269
thing. It fed into the whole Satan-worship hysteria
00:35:14.269 --> 00:35:18.500
of the '80s and '90s. And anyway, there she's been
00:35:18.500 --> 00:35:20.360
for 30 years. She was convicted. This happened
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:25.039
in the '90s. Finally, after years of appeals
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:29.000
expired, they get ready to kill her yesterday
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:33.579
morning. And then at the last... Well, I guess
00:35:33.579 --> 00:35:38.980
she's now about 47-ish. Oh, so she was very young
00:35:38.980 --> 00:35:41.840
when they caught her. She was 18. And by most,
00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:44.559
according to most legal experts, she would
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:46.400
not have been sentenced to death today under
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:51.480
similar circumstances. The thing is,
00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:53.760
they went after her because the two other people
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:55.679
involved, including the boyfriend, were under
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:58.739
18. So only she was subject to the death penalty.
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.900
So they nailed her. And basically, she paid
00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:07.199
the highest price. And by all accounts, she has
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.539
greatly reformed. She's much better. But she
00:36:10.539 --> 00:36:13.219
did get into an incident where she physically
00:36:13.219 --> 00:36:17.519
assaulted another inmate behind bars. So she's
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.159
spicy. Right. But the point is, by all accounts,
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.820
she's not the same person. But who is between
00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:27.880
their teens and their 40s? And she, anyway, after
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:31.960
the appeals, a federal court said, listen,
00:36:32.139 --> 00:36:35.460
according to us, it looks like she probably would
00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:38.539
not have been sentenced to death if the same
00:36:38.539 --> 00:36:40.860
law, if the same thing happened today,
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:45.019
given her age, her history of sexual and other
00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:48.650
abuse by her parents and so on. Probably she
00:36:48.650 --> 00:36:50.429
would have gotten life in prison or something
00:36:50.429 --> 00:36:54.809
else, right? But then the state of Tennessee,
00:36:54.989 --> 00:36:58.230
in a hurry to kill her, appealed to SCOTUS. The Supreme
00:36:58.230 --> 00:37:02.429
Court said, go ahead, kill her. So she was first
00:37:02.429 --> 00:37:04.369
told, oh, you're not going to be killed. Then
00:37:04.369 --> 00:37:06.389
seven hours later, yeah, you are going to be
00:37:06.389 --> 00:37:09.250
killed. They take her in to give her lethal injection.
00:37:09.730 --> 00:37:14.510
They inject her once. It doesn't work. They try
00:37:14.510 --> 00:37:17.119
twice. Still doesn't work. At one point she's
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:20.619
snoring. She's shouting. She's screaming.
00:37:20.619 --> 00:37:24.179
Then later she was snoring, and she woke
00:37:24.179 --> 00:37:26.920
back up. It was apparently a horror show.
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.820
So they took her to the hospital, where she was.
00:37:29.820 --> 00:37:32.360
Now they're trying to save her life, presumably
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:36.440
so they can kill her later. Okay, she's
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:40.599
a one-person argument against the death
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:43.000
penalty, right? Literally, if only Christa
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.539
Pike had ever lived, I'd be like, the death penalty
00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:50.429
sucks. And it's so fucking
00:37:50.429 --> 00:37:53.989
ridiculous. And also, where the fuck is the
00:37:53.989 --> 00:37:56.510
governor of the state of Tennessee in all of
00:37:56.510 --> 00:37:58.969
this? All he has to do is pick up a phone and
00:37:58.969 --> 00:38:00.869
he can put a stop to all this fucking horror
00:38:00.869 --> 00:38:04.170
show. And he still hasn't done that. Right.
00:38:04.170 --> 00:38:07.380
Even in ancient Rome, at times they
00:38:07.380 --> 00:38:09.420
had a rule where if the state
00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:11.880
took their stab at you and tried to whack off
00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:14.239
your head and it didn't come off, they let you
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:16.980
go, because it's like, hey,
00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:21.320
the gods want you to live. This
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:27.599
is just outlandish. And honestly, if the state of Tennessee and the governor
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:29.360
had any fucking common decency, they would say,
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.559
look, we obviously don't. How hard
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:36.619
is it to kill people? Can't they bring
00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:38.579
in an Israeli? Seriously. Just invest
00:38:38.579 --> 00:38:40.960
in a guillotine. I don't understand why we make
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.139
this stuff so difficult. Because they don't want to.
00:38:43.139 --> 00:38:46.150
She requested the firing squad. Well, I will
00:38:46.150 --> 00:38:48.510
tell you why they make it difficult. Because
00:38:48.510 --> 00:38:49.989
they don't. They're trying to sanitize murder.
00:38:49.989 --> 00:38:53.250
That's right. That's what they're trying to do.
00:38:53.250 --> 00:38:55.130
It's kind of like when you buy your beef. If
00:38:55.130 --> 00:38:57.070
you had to watch what they did to the cow, everyone
00:38:57.070 --> 00:38:59.570
would be a vegan. Everyone. You'd be like, oh,
00:38:59.570 --> 00:39:02.170
this is... When I was in Afghanistan,
00:39:02.329 --> 00:39:05.510
I was talking to a cameraman from a major network,
00:39:05.670 --> 00:39:09.429
and we were filming this scene of absolute horror
00:39:09.429 --> 00:39:11.889
as the U.S. was bombing this neighborhood. And
00:39:11.889 --> 00:39:14.570
he kept putting the—they were Betamax tapes
00:39:14.570 --> 00:39:17.449
at the time—into a bag, a duffel. And I said,
00:39:17.449 --> 00:39:21.010
are you going to upload those? And he's like,
00:39:21.050 --> 00:39:23.750
oh, no, these are just for my personal, for me.
00:39:23.889 --> 00:39:26.510
I said, what do you mean? This is amazing footage.
00:39:26.769 --> 00:39:28.909
And he's like, no, no, no. If the American people
00:39:29.110 --> 00:39:31.329
saw what we do in our wars, they would all be
00:39:31.329 --> 00:39:34.889
pacifists. That's not allowed at the network.
00:39:34.889 --> 00:39:37.590
Right. Exactly. We sanitize murder. That's what
00:39:37.590 --> 00:39:41.730
we do. And so we keep trying to find ways. It's
00:39:41.730 --> 00:39:44.110
like, okay, how can we make murder in a way that
00:39:44.110 --> 00:39:46.969
the public is not going to feel some kind of
00:39:46.969 --> 00:39:48.489
way about the fact that it's murder? It's okay
00:39:48.489 --> 00:39:51.329
with a shot. If they're screaming inside, just
00:39:51.329 --> 00:39:53.110
don't be screaming out loud. Exactly. As Robby
00:39:53.110 --> 00:39:56.610
pointed out, the guillotine is very straightforward.
00:39:56.610 --> 00:39:58.690
Well, she requested a firing squad. That usually
00:39:58.690 --> 00:40:01.579
works. You can get three psychopaths and put them
00:40:01.579 --> 00:40:05.519
up and say, hey, shoot that person. There's got
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.219
to be some IDF guys who'd be willing to do this.
00:40:08.219 --> 00:40:10.780
There's plenty of Americans who are willing to
00:40:10.780 --> 00:40:12.639
do it. Let's be honest, right? Yeah.
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:18.260
There are better ways to murder people. There just are.
00:40:18.260 --> 00:40:21.949
But instead, what they want to do is, okay, we'll
00:40:21.949 --> 00:40:24.230
give them a formula, and it'll put them to sleep,
00:40:24.230 --> 00:40:27.050
and then it'll stop their heart. And this will
00:40:27.050 --> 00:40:29.329
be sanitized murder, and everybody will be good
00:40:29.329 --> 00:40:31.349
with this because the person just went to sleep.
00:40:31.349 --> 00:40:33.630
Sleepy time, bye-bye. She didn't go to sleep.
00:40:33.750 --> 00:40:38.010
She didn't know. And by the way, this is the
00:40:38.010 --> 00:40:39.829
second time that the state of Tennessee alone
00:40:39.829 --> 00:40:41.849
has had a botched murder this year alone. It
00:40:41.849 --> 00:40:44.969
doesn't have to do with the fact that the company
00:40:44.969 --> 00:40:47.090
that was making the chemicals for it stopped
00:40:47.090 --> 00:40:48.670
giving them the chemicals for it. Yeah, that's
00:40:48.670 --> 00:40:50.190
a big part of it, right? Yeah. And so they kind
00:40:50.190 --> 00:40:52.269
of came up with their own mix of chemicals in
00:40:52.269 --> 00:40:53.909
order to kill people. So we don't have chemists?
00:40:53.909 --> 00:40:58.159
Apparently not. Has America fallen so
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:02.739
far? Forget about building bridges. Forget
00:41:02.739 --> 00:41:05.280
about building roads, high-speed rail, maybe
00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:08.019
having planes whose doors don't fall off midair.
00:41:08.019 --> 00:41:10.179
That's complicated. But you can't come
00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:13.329
up with a way of taking somebody out. Put
00:41:13.329 --> 00:41:15.150
her in a garage, turn a car on, and leave. There
00:41:15.150 --> 00:41:18.289
are ways you can do that. The
00:41:18.289 --> 00:41:20.650
emir of Bukhara in modern-day Uzbekistan would
00:41:20.650 --> 00:41:24.610
take people up to the top of a minaret and throw
00:41:24.610 --> 00:41:26.789
them off. Yeah. There you go. You can do that.
00:41:26.789 --> 00:41:30.090
Yeah. Stop sanitizing the murder. That's
00:41:30.090 --> 00:41:33.489
all. It's just that. Robby, what do
00:41:33.489 --> 00:41:36.710
you think should happen to this lady, given the
00:41:36.710 --> 00:41:39.110
system that we actually have? They tried
00:41:39.110 --> 00:41:41.409
to kill her multiple times. You have to let her
00:41:41.409 --> 00:41:42.929
go. That's what I think. I don't
00:41:42.929 --> 00:41:46.179
think... You fucking had your whack at the piñata.
00:41:46.179 --> 00:41:49.019
Enough. You had the whack at it twice.
00:41:49.019 --> 00:41:51.500
Not to mention, you tortured the shit out of
00:41:51.500 --> 00:41:53.619
her with all these off-and-on delays
00:41:53.619 --> 00:41:56.639
and, not to mention, the seven
00:41:56.639 --> 00:42:00.880
hours between the, oh, you're going to die this
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:02.760
morning. Oh, no, wait. You're saved by the bell.
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:05.519
Well, but that's a call to murder. Let's
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:07.820
be honest. She did kill somebody. And she did
00:42:07.820 --> 00:42:09.539
kill somebody. And I don't buy this shit about
00:42:09.539 --> 00:42:10.820
her being mentally ill and all that other stuff.
00:42:10.820 --> 00:42:13.320
They took somebody out and they murdered that
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.639
person. That person doesn't exist. I'm not saying
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:19.139
she shouldn't be facing consequences. All I'm
00:42:19.139 --> 00:42:23.099
saying is that under the system in the state
00:42:23.099 --> 00:42:26.659
of Tennessee as it currently exists—and this
00:42:26.659 --> 00:42:29.000
drives me crazy. This is sort of like the people
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:30.820
who are in prison for crimes that no longer exist.
00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:33.880
For example, who sold quantities of marijuana,
00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:36.320
who are still in prison, that today if they sold
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.840
those quantities of marijuana, they'd have a
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:40.599
storefront. Okay. And they might be able to
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:43.610
go, they might have an IPO on the New York Stock
00:42:43.610 --> 00:42:45.670
Exchange. Yeah, so that. It's absolutely
00:42:45.670 --> 00:42:49.750
ridiculous. She would not be sentenced to
00:42:49.750 --> 00:42:52.949
death now based on that alone. Basically,
00:42:52.949 --> 00:42:56.090
whenever the law changes to a more liberal sentence,
00:42:56.090 --> 00:42:59.190
you should be. It's sort of like when you're
00:42:59.190 --> 00:43:02.960
shopping for airline tickets and you buy an airplane.
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:05.119
You pay $400 for a ticket, and then they
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:07.840
drop the price to $300. You can call the
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:10.400
airline and say, hey, listen, that same ticket's
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:12.219
$300. I want it for $300. And usually they'll give
00:43:12.219 --> 00:43:15.000
it to you. That's how it should be. You
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.300
got death. Now it would be
00:43:17.300 --> 00:43:19.579
life. Okay, I want life.
00:43:19.579 --> 00:43:22.099
That's what I would get now. I shouldn't be held
00:43:22.099 --> 00:43:24.639
to this old standard. Well, after them trying
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:27.460
to murder her multiple times. Yeah, I agree with
00:43:27.460 --> 00:43:29.800
you. It looks... And by the way, her
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:31.980
brain might be a puddle of mush
00:43:31.980 --> 00:43:34.780
now, right? But it looks so absurd that they're
00:43:34.780 --> 00:43:37.440
trying to save her life in order to kill her
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:39.659
later. It's insane. It looks dumb as all hell.
00:43:39.659 --> 00:43:43.639
It's dumb. Yeah. To answer your question, I would
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:46.940
come down on this. Three things are
00:43:46.940 --> 00:43:50.469
true at one time. In the case of this woman,
00:43:50.469 --> 00:43:53.139
I would live up to the family whose daughter
00:43:53.139 --> 00:43:54.840
that they murdered, that she killed. They want
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:57.079
her dead. Then she goes away. But that's not
00:43:57.079 --> 00:44:02.960
our system. Well, our system is clearly broken,
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:06.579
and we can't even execute somebody. So something
00:44:06.579 --> 00:44:08.400
needs to happen here. Now, if we are going to
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:13.539
have a death penalty. I don't believe in that, man.
00:44:13.539 --> 00:44:17.500
You don't have to. That's my opinion. I'm just
00:44:17.500 --> 00:44:20.280
telling you. If we're going to have a
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:23.239
death penalty in this country, which I believe
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:25.000
we should have, then we need to have a humane
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.639
way of doing it. I would recommend the guillotine.
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:33.159
It's time-proven. The French got something right.
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:36.380
The croissants, coffee, and beheadings. Go with
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:40.239
what works. It never failed once, as far as I
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:42.460
know. Never once. And lastly, the prison system
00:44:42.460 --> 00:44:45.500
is in desperate need of reform. It needs to be
00:44:45.500 --> 00:44:48.960
abolished, blown up, and have a reboot. All
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:52.119
these people who are in jail right now
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:54.420
for drug offenses, why?
00:44:54.420 --> 00:44:59.719
I don't understand it. No.
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:01.760
To your point, Ted, all this stuff has been legalized.
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:03.920
This is all a profit margin. It's
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:07.139
not about justice. It's not even about legality.
00:45:07.139 --> 00:45:12.139
It's about funding a prison complex
00:45:12.139 --> 00:45:14.360
that makes this money off of people, keeping people
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:17.099
in cages for as long as they possibly can for
00:45:17.099 --> 00:45:22.909
a dollar. That is disgusting. If you're a rapist,
00:45:22.969 --> 00:45:26.489
if you're a murderer, you don't get to, in Robby's
00:45:26.489 --> 00:45:28.550
world, you don't get to sit on death row for
00:45:28.550 --> 00:45:31.570
30 years or 40 years or until you're old and
00:45:31.570 --> 00:45:33.610
gray. Well, if you're going to have a death penalty,
00:45:33.789 --> 00:45:35.650
it really sort of doesn't serve any purpose.
00:45:36.230 --> 00:45:37.789
But you have to be efficient, otherwise there's
00:45:37.789 --> 00:45:40.130
no deterrent. And look, there's
00:45:40.130 --> 00:45:41.889
no deterrent anyway. Studies have shown that,
00:45:41.969 --> 00:45:44.670
right? If you're in a state of mind where
00:45:44.670 --> 00:45:46.809
you want to kill someone, let's just say you're
00:45:46.809 --> 00:45:48.230
cold-blooded, you're an
00:45:48.230 --> 00:45:50.110
assassin, you just do it for money. Or let's
00:45:50.110 --> 00:45:52.369
just say you've decided that you're
00:45:52.369 --> 00:45:53.969
so smart you're going to get away with it. They're
00:45:53.969 --> 00:45:57.449
not going to catch you. Or if you're in a
00:45:57.449 --> 00:45:59.829
rage and it's a case of domestic violence
00:45:59.829 --> 00:46:01.250
and you're going to assault, you're going
00:46:01.250 --> 00:46:04.650
to murder your partner. You're so pissed
00:46:04.650 --> 00:46:07.210
off and crazed at that point, you're not thinking,
00:46:07.210 --> 00:46:11.210
oh, but I could end up executed. That would
00:46:11.210 --> 00:46:14.469
really be bad. I will not do that. That's just
00:46:14.469 --> 00:46:17.269
not... People just don't think that way. Yeah.
00:46:17.269 --> 00:46:22.260
But is execution just an excuse? Well,
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.440
it's supposed to be an example. There's
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:29.000
a reason why after Spartacus's rebellion, when
00:46:29.250 --> 00:46:32.849
the Romans crucified his army on the Appian Way
00:46:32.849 --> 00:46:35.610
between Capua and Rome, there were no more slave
00:46:35.610 --> 00:46:39.469
revolts for 600 years. That freaking works. If
00:46:39.469 --> 00:46:42.369
you're going to do this, you make an example.
00:46:43.019 --> 00:46:46.840
Ted, you go full Afghan style. If you do this,
00:46:47.369 --> 00:46:49.409
if you get away with it, fine, but if you don't,
00:46:49.409 --> 00:46:52.889
if we catch you, this is what's going to happen
00:46:52.889 --> 00:46:54.530
to you. Let me just say, man, I didn't
00:46:54.530 --> 00:46:57.030
do a scientific study of all Afghans, but I will
00:46:57.030 --> 00:47:00.789
just say, Afghans prove that there's
00:47:00.789 --> 00:47:04.190
no deterrent. I met a guy. He confided
00:47:04.190 --> 00:47:05.530
to me, he's like, oh, I'm going to be back
00:47:05.530 --> 00:47:06.929
in two hours. I'm like, where are you going?
00:47:07.010 --> 00:47:08.530
He's like, oh, I'm going to go fuck this girl.
00:47:08.750 --> 00:47:10.650
I'm like, what? And he's like, oh, she's the
00:47:10.650 --> 00:47:14.230
commander. She's the wife of a Taliban commander.
00:47:14.670 --> 00:47:18.530
I'm like, man. You're taking some serious
00:47:18.530 --> 00:47:21.469
chances there. You will be
00:47:21.469 --> 00:47:23.550
stoned to death if you're caught, if you're lucky,
00:47:23.550 --> 00:47:27.110
right? And if you're not, flayed first.
00:47:27.110 --> 00:47:34.489
And he's like, yeah, but she sure is hot. Well, Islam
00:47:34.489 --> 00:47:37.349
is like Christian... Well, Islam
00:47:37.349 --> 00:47:38.789
is like Christian law in that
00:47:38.789 --> 00:47:40.610
case. There's a difference between fornication
00:47:40.610 --> 00:47:42.730
and adultery. If you're caught in fornication,
00:47:42.730 --> 00:47:45.449
you marry the girl and it is what it is. Adultery
00:47:45.449 --> 00:47:48.409
is when you sleep with another man's wife. If
00:47:48.409 --> 00:47:51.190
she's married, you have a point. If she was single,
00:47:51.230 --> 00:47:53.829
not so much. That's a human thing. That's just
00:47:53.829 --> 00:47:56.130
people. Look, I will tell you, in my experience,
00:47:56.309 --> 00:47:59.329
even in Muslim countries, people were just people.
00:48:00.269 --> 00:48:03.730
Some religions can overlay onto those people, but
00:48:03.730 --> 00:48:07.159
they just behave like people. I get it.
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:10.559
People have urges, and the urge to
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:13.019
murder someone is usually born out of extreme
00:48:13.019 --> 00:48:15.639
emotions. And people are not thinking rationally
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:18.260
by definition when they're in a highly emotional
00:48:18.260 --> 00:48:20.579
state. Right. We've got two more subjects
00:48:20.579 --> 00:48:23.019
to talk about. The prison system is that crucifixion.
00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:25.739
The prison system is supposed to be that
00:48:25.739 --> 00:48:29.260
tool of, hey, do you want to get anally raped
00:48:29.260 --> 00:48:32.059
as a man? Not really. All right. Then you don't
00:48:32.059 --> 00:48:34.289
want to go to prison. Don't commit crimes. It's
00:48:34.289 --> 00:48:36.409
that. And yeah, that's completely
00:48:36.409 --> 00:48:38.630
corrupted. It's not about punishment.
00:48:38.630 --> 00:48:41.730
It's not about sending a message. It's
00:48:41.730 --> 00:48:44.309
not about keeping the population safe. It is about
00:48:44.309 --> 00:48:47.210
enriching a certain class of people with the modern-
00:48:47.210 --> 00:48:49.909
day slave trade in the most barbaric way possible,
00:48:49.909 --> 00:48:53.210
by putting people in cages, treating them
00:48:53.210 --> 00:48:54.849
like animals, and then you wonder why they act
00:48:54.849 --> 00:48:58.579
like animals. It's also entrapment, right?
00:48:58.579 --> 00:49:00.820
Anybody who's ever even had any interaction
00:49:00.820 --> 00:49:03.619
with the criminal justice system, or let's
00:49:03.619 --> 00:49:05.559
say being audited by the government or something.
00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:09.539
Once they catch
00:49:09.539 --> 00:49:13.440
you, it's so hard to get out, right? Even if
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:16.380
you're innocent, even if you can prove you're
00:49:16.380 --> 00:49:19.599
innocent. You're guilty until
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:21.980
proven innocent, despite what the law says. Anyway,
00:49:21.980 --> 00:49:27.820
Skynet. So Pete Hegseth, who said that there's
00:49:27.820 --> 00:49:30.679
going to be... He's repeated, there's no fatties,
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:35.300
no beardos, no weirdos, no wokes. And he's going to
00:49:35.300 --> 00:49:39.940
be, in his extremely heterosexual, totally
00:49:39.940 --> 00:49:42.880
straight, one million percent not gay or trans
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:46.659
military, creating, as he said, with
00:49:46.659 --> 00:49:50.300
a dollop of extra testosterone, creating
00:49:50.300 --> 00:49:54.619
a new autonomous warfare command to oversee,
00:49:54.619 --> 00:49:57.480
obviously, autonomous warfare. Autonomous warfare
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:01.000
are weapons, specifically drones, that choose
00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:05.880
their own targets. So this is the Black Mirror
00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:08.599
scenario. It's the Terminator, Skynet scenario.
00:50:10.980 --> 00:50:15.619
Terrifying. Yeah. It's like we don't want human
00:50:15.619 --> 00:50:17.480
beings making the choice to murder, so we're
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:19.739
going to turn it over to robots in order to do
00:50:19.739 --> 00:50:22.260
it for us. Keep in mind, they were making
00:50:22.260 --> 00:50:24.769
the argument that the kids that they murdered,
00:50:24.769 --> 00:50:27.530
the hundred and something at that school, was
00:50:27.530 --> 00:50:31.250
an AI thing, to put it in perspective. They're
00:50:31.250 --> 00:50:33.630
blaming AI for it. Was that what... AI did
00:50:33.630 --> 00:50:36.650
it. Yeah, it was choosing the targets. Yeah, maybe.
00:50:36.650 --> 00:50:40.590
Old maps is much more likely. Did you all
00:50:40.590 --> 00:50:43.670
see this announcement about creating the Department
00:50:43.670 --> 00:50:46.050
of Religious Affairs during the same announcement?
00:50:46.050 --> 00:50:49.469
I thought about it as a Christian. That is chilling.
00:50:49.469 --> 00:50:52.650
I've got it if you want to see it. As a Christian,
00:50:52.829 --> 00:50:56.590
it pisses me off to no end. What? That's not
00:50:56.590 --> 00:51:00.449
what you want? No, because Christianity is not
00:51:00.449 --> 00:51:05.309
a passive religion, but also teaches there are
00:51:05.309 --> 00:51:08.329
rules of warfare. You're not allowed to just
00:51:08.329 --> 00:51:10.010
go out and just wipe people out because they're
00:51:10.010 --> 00:51:11.710
in the way. Oh, so the concern isn't separation
00:51:11.710 --> 00:51:14.989
of church and state. It's the conflation of the
00:51:14.989 --> 00:51:17.269
U.S. military with religion. Correct. What they're
00:51:17.269 --> 00:51:19.309
doing is that they're wrapping their imperialism
00:51:19.730 --> 00:51:21.670
with the symbolism of... Basically, they're doing
00:51:21.670 --> 00:51:23.429
the same thing the Islamists do, is what they're
00:51:23.429 --> 00:51:25.289
trying to say. With Christian soldiers, right?
00:51:25.409 --> 00:51:27.750
Yeah. But that's because... It's a buckle that
00:51:27.750 --> 00:51:30.590
all Nazi soldiers wore around the swastika. In
00:51:30.590 --> 00:51:32.769
German it said, God is with us. Well, you've
00:51:32.769 --> 00:51:36.070
got to remember... Hilariously, in a secular regime.
00:51:36.570 --> 00:51:39.530
And Paul was talking about all Christian soldiers.
00:51:39.769 --> 00:51:41.750
That's about spiritual warfare, fighting the
00:51:41.750 --> 00:51:43.590
spiritual fight, putting on the armor of God.
00:51:43.710 --> 00:51:46.110
It doesn't mean that you go and invade another
00:51:46.110 --> 00:51:48.389
country. That's the whole reason why God punished
00:51:49.059 --> 00:51:51.260
David the way that he did, by sending that angel
00:51:51.260 --> 00:51:54.079
of death down. You don't start wars of aggression.
00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:56.900
If someone attacks you, you take their head off.
00:51:57.699 --> 00:52:00.360
But there's a difference between offensive and
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:04.849
defensive war. Do you want to see it? We don't
00:52:04.849 --> 00:52:07.050
really fight defensive wars. We don't have time,
00:52:07.090 --> 00:52:11.539
I think. We have seven minutes. That's one of
00:52:11.539 --> 00:52:13.239
the advantages of the two-hour show. Speaking
00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:15.679
of which, thanks for joining us if you came in
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:19.159
a little bit late into the show. We do Monday,
00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:21.000
Wednesday, Friday as the two-hour show. Tuesday,
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:22.980
Thursday is the one-hour show. Everything starts
00:52:22.980 --> 00:52:25.860
at 9 a.m. So tomorrow we're back to two hours. But
00:52:25.860 --> 00:52:28.280
just to... I don't know how we're going to do this.
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:30.619
Robby, can you explain this? We said we're going to
00:52:30.619 --> 00:52:34.079
do the last hour tomorrow, the 10 o'clock hour,
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:38.840
as exclusive content for the subscribers. So are
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:41.090
we just going to drop the feed and start a
00:52:41.090 --> 00:52:44.239
new feed? Or what are we going to do? I don't
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:46.159
see any other way you can do it. Because look,
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:48.360
with Rumble Studio, you could go live on Rumble,
00:52:48.420 --> 00:52:50.980
but then that ends the YouTube feed, and that
00:52:50.980 --> 00:52:53.400
doesn't work. So that's what I have to do. Just
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:55.920
end the show, start a new one as members only,
00:52:56.079 --> 00:52:57.960
and then the members can come in and they can
00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:00.800
call in and talk to you and JT. On Rumble, could
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:04.179
we just drop the YouTube on the Rumble Studio?
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:06.000
Could we just drop the YouTube feed at 10 o'clock?
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:11.599
Yeah, but the point of it is for the top-tier
00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:14.280
YouTube subscribers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:15.960
wouldn't work. So that would not work, yeah.
00:53:16.139 --> 00:53:19.159
And you can't do Rumble without Rumble. Right.
00:53:19.579 --> 00:53:21.599
Right. Hilariously. Okay, all right. Thanks,
00:53:21.619 --> 00:53:23.340
Robby. We'll figure it out. Yeah, I guess we'll
00:53:23.340 --> 00:53:26.599
do a separate feed. Oh, I know. We can raid into
00:53:26.599 --> 00:53:30.099
it, too. Well, the best way would be to end the
00:53:30.099 --> 00:53:32.780
one-hour show, then start a new show using StreamYard.
00:53:32.940 --> 00:53:35.650
People call in. Just provide the link. Let's
00:53:35.650 --> 00:53:38.250
keep it simple. Let's not be Tennessee here. We'll
00:53:38.250 --> 00:53:40.730
do that. Let's use a guillotine and just
00:53:40.730 --> 00:53:42.949
get it done. It's so hilarious.
00:53:42.949 --> 00:53:45.550
People spend billions of dollars
00:53:45.550 --> 00:53:48.710
trying to stay alive, right? But then,
00:53:48.710 --> 00:53:50.349
when people are desperately
00:53:50.349 --> 00:53:53.010
ill and they need to go to,
00:53:53.010 --> 00:53:54.929
get on a plane and go to Europe to have themselves
00:53:54.929 --> 00:53:57.409
killed, or maybe you go to the state of Tennessee
00:53:57.409 --> 00:54:01.190
and they can't even kill you. It's so weird. Canada
00:54:01.190 --> 00:54:04.650
has booths that people can get into, like euthanasia
00:54:04.650 --> 00:54:07.269
stuff. How does Canada do it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:07.329 --> 00:54:10.349
Well, yeah, they should outsource that to Tennessee.
00:54:11.210 --> 00:54:15.030
Yeah. Well, once we invade Canada, we'll steal
00:54:15.030 --> 00:54:18.030
that technology, just the way that we stole Venezuela's
00:54:18.030 --> 00:54:23.400
gold. Okay, so Chloe Renee Freeman. When you're
00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:25.639
a criminal or alleged criminal, you always get
00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:27.579
your middle name mentioned. If I did anything
00:54:27.579 --> 00:54:30.139
wrong, I would become Frederick Theodore Rall,
00:54:30.260 --> 00:54:33.480
maybe Frederick Theodore Rall III. Anyway, Chloe
00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:36.280
Freeman. She's a 33-year-old nurse in the state
00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:41.320
of Michigan. There was an ICE detainee, a dude
00:54:41.320 --> 00:54:45.300
who was brought in. Basically, he was in a scuffle
00:54:45.300 --> 00:54:48.260
with ICE. ICE claimed that they noticed that
00:54:48.260 --> 00:54:50.320
he had injuries, so they brought him to the hospital.
00:54:50.619 --> 00:54:54.079
And she decided to basically show him out the
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:57.280
back entrance and said, fly free, little bird.
00:54:58.800 --> 00:55:04.420
The FBI is charging her. It's a misdemeanor
00:55:04.420 --> 00:55:07.760
federal offense. I looked this up. She faces
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:11.059
up to one year in prison and up to a fine of
00:55:11.059 --> 00:55:14.659
$100,000. I say good for her, too. I
00:55:14.659 --> 00:55:18.000
think it's, to me, regardless of where you
00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:22.099
stand on immigration or mass deportations, it's
00:55:22.099 --> 00:55:25.420
nice to see that there are Americans who are
00:55:26.170 --> 00:55:29.989
willing to put their own bodies on the line and
00:55:29.989 --> 00:55:32.730
to take risks to help fellow human beings,
00:55:32.730 --> 00:55:37.150
even if it means that they might face some really
00:55:37.150 --> 00:55:40.590
harsh consequences as a result. I'm
00:55:40.590 --> 00:55:42.670
sure someone will put a GoFundMe together for
00:55:42.670 --> 00:55:46.269
her. I doubt she'll get a year in prison.
00:55:46.269 --> 00:55:48.510
I wouldn't be surprised if the charges got dropped
00:55:48.510 --> 00:55:52.050
at some point. But anyway,
00:55:52.050 --> 00:55:54.489
the point is, this reminds me of the case of, wasn't
00:55:54.489 --> 00:55:57.309
it also in Michigan, or was it Minnesota, the judge
00:55:57.309 --> 00:56:01.309
who also let an ICE detainee out of the courtroom
00:56:01.309 --> 00:56:03.789
through the back door, and then she was like that.
00:56:03.789 --> 00:56:06.670
Yeah, right. And he went after the judge for it,
00:56:06.670 --> 00:56:08.570
but I don't know what happened to the judge as
00:56:08.570 --> 00:56:10.210
a result. Here you have basically
00:56:10.210 --> 00:56:13.429
the judge was appalled that ICE was operating
00:56:13.429 --> 00:56:16.309
inside the courthouse and desecrating the place,
00:56:16.309 --> 00:56:20.019
the halls of justice. Here, the nurse.
00:56:20.019 --> 00:56:22.619
She's in a helper profession, the ultimate
00:56:22.619 --> 00:56:24.719
helper profession. And here's a
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:28.440
guy who... So it's hilarious. The FBI complained
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:32.019
that he didn't get all of his treatment,
00:56:32.019 --> 00:56:34.840
and that she imperiled him by letting him
00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:37.699
go free. I'm sure he wasn't complaining. Really?
00:56:37.699 --> 00:56:40.360
Yeah, I'm sure he was like, I can stop by
00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:43.059
CVS. I'm pretty sure she didn't force him. Right.
00:56:43.059 --> 00:56:46.880
She didn't force him out the door, right? It's
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:49.460
not like, you must leave this
00:56:49.460 --> 00:56:52.480
hospital. It wasn't that. No, this is resistance.
00:56:52.860 --> 00:56:55.139
Get out of here. This is resistance. This is
00:56:55.139 --> 00:56:57.699
what resistance looks like. And
00:56:57.699 --> 00:57:00.059
we need more of it so that we know
00:57:00.059 --> 00:57:02.280
what it looks like. Unfortunately, institutions,
00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:04.400
like some of the colleges and stuff
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:05.960
like that, need to be more aggressive, like this
00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:12.079
nurse. She took all the risk. These institutions,
00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:14.539
with all the money and everything else,
00:57:14.539 --> 00:57:17.159
they were less willing to do so. So what federal
00:57:17.159 --> 00:57:21.239
laws do I get to ignore? I don't know. Making
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:25.119
a choice between you and God, right? Yeah,
00:57:25.119 --> 00:57:27.559
pick the ones you want. Well, I could have sworn
00:57:27.559 --> 00:57:30.300
that we lived in a republic where Congress passed
00:57:30.300 --> 00:57:33.000
a law, signed by the president. We suppose our nation
00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:35.440
of laws, not people. So for us to pick and choose
00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:37.219
all the laws we're going to enforce. Well, someone
00:57:37.219 --> 00:57:39.500
should tell us, because he picks and chooses the
00:57:39.500 --> 00:57:43.139
laws he wants to follow. Yeah. But many
00:57:43.139 --> 00:57:44.820
in Congress pick and choose the ones they want
00:57:44.820 --> 00:57:46.599
to follow. They've been enriching themselves massively
00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:50.130
at the tip of the U.S. government. But individual
00:57:50.130 --> 00:57:52.929
Americans that have potentially religious beliefs
00:57:52.929 --> 00:57:56.329
of fairness and equality, and that they don't
00:57:56.329 --> 00:57:59.210
necessarily believe that ICE, and they allow their
00:57:59.210 --> 00:58:02.210
moral beliefs to take over, God bless her.
00:58:02.210 --> 00:58:04.650
At one point slavery was legal, and you had people
00:58:04.650 --> 00:58:06.969
who were abolitionists who went and pushed against
00:58:06.969 --> 00:58:09.909
what they considered to be an evil, which was
00:58:09.909 --> 00:58:12.789
evil. And you go down the list of laws over
00:58:12.789 --> 00:58:15.389
the history. History views them very kindly. Yeah,
00:58:15.389 --> 00:58:18.969
unless you're A.P. Hill. You know who that is, don't
00:58:18.969 --> 00:58:22.829
you? I have no idea. So history picks and chooses.
00:58:23.110 --> 00:58:24.829
A.P. Hill was a Confederate general who was
00:58:24.829 --> 00:58:28.880
an abolitionist who hated slavery. But people
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:31.280
don't remember his name. I guess that's the point
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:34.920
I'm trying to make is what she did. I know I
00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:38.340
have to go here in just a second. It's a form
00:58:38.340 --> 00:58:40.980
of vigilantism. You decide that the law does
00:58:40.980 --> 00:58:43.320
not apply to me, that the law does not apply
00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:46.119
to this person. This person has a higher value
00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:50.150
than the collective. And so I, using my own authority
00:58:50.150 --> 00:58:52.190
that I do not have, am going to violate the law.
00:58:52.190 --> 00:58:54.369
It's civil disobedience, man. We don't live in
00:58:54.369 --> 00:58:56.769
a fascist state. It's civil disobedience.
00:58:56.769 --> 00:59:01.030
North Korea. We've had disobedience and
00:59:01.030 --> 00:59:03.250
gentrification going on. And she is going to
00:59:03.250 --> 00:59:05.829
take her... She is going to. Look, there's a law.
00:59:06.150 --> 00:59:10.650
She's been charged. If a judge and/or a jury
00:59:10.650 --> 00:59:13.289
decides that she needs to go to prison for a
00:59:13.289 --> 00:59:15.449
year, she will. I don't know where you
00:59:15.449 --> 00:59:16.750
get it. It's kind of like
00:59:17.389 --> 00:59:21.070
she took personal responsibility. Anyway, thanks
00:59:21.070 --> 00:59:22.590
for joining us. We have a plan for tomorrow,
00:59:22.650 --> 00:59:24.889
basically. It's a one-hour show for the regular
00:59:24.889 --> 00:59:27.789
show tomorrow because it's Friday, and it's the
00:59:27.789 --> 00:59:30.550
last Friday. Basically, we're bleeding in from
00:59:30.550 --> 00:59:33.630
the month of September, and we're going to go,
00:59:33.730 --> 00:59:36.530
according to Trent. We are going to film it and
00:59:36.530 --> 00:59:39.429
upload it later, the second hour. So we'll see
00:59:39.429 --> 00:59:41.570
you live tomorrow, 9 o'clock Eastern time to
00:59:41.570 --> 00:59:45.090
10 o'clock Eastern time, and stay tuned for
00:59:45.090 --> 00:59:50.150
TMI. That is coming up right now. And see you
00:59:50.150 --> 00:59:52.090
