Guest Spot on The Weather'd Report - Iran, China, Midterms, and More

WEBVTT

1
00:00:15.310 --> 00:00:17.830
 And it is pre-recorded because I'm sitting here

2
00:00:17.830 --> 00:00:20.830
 with George Fontz and we are recording this in the morning.

3
00:00:20.870 --> 00:00:23.010
 This is a part of the weather report

4
00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:24.930
 that I've been wanting to do for a long time.

5
00:00:25.270 --> 00:00:29.230
 Ken's on hiatus, we decided the last show

6
00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:31.350
 that we were gonna take some time off

7
00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:34.070
 and when we can get a show in, we can get a show in.

8
00:00:34.430 --> 00:00:36.790
 And so I wanted to do some coffee chats

9
00:00:36.790 --> 00:00:40.470
 and my first coffee chat is gonna be with our guest,

10
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:43.170
 George Fontz of the World of Blaze with George Fontz.

11
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:43.990
 Good morning, George.

12
00:00:44.170 --> 00:00:45.910
 I'm here with my coffee too.

13
00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:46.250
 Coffee.

14
00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:47.810
 So just to prove to you that we're having coffee

15
00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:48.370
 this morning.

16
00:00:48.470 --> 00:00:48.930
 America's coffee.

17
00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:50.350
 But who knows what's in it.

18
00:00:51.310 --> 00:00:53.230
 It's not Colocumcraft, is it?

19
00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.310
 It is Colocumcraft coffee, that is directly correct.

20
00:00:56.330 --> 00:00:57.630
 That is Colocumcraft coffee,

21
00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:01.170
 which is our proud sponsor of the weather report.

22
00:01:01.290 --> 00:01:02.670
 And we wanna thank Bill and Dana

23
00:01:03.410 --> 00:01:06.150
 for actually sponsoring my show.

24
00:01:07.870 --> 00:01:08.650
 But I love it.

25
00:01:10.050 --> 00:01:13.110
 But George Fontz says if you haven't seen George before,

26
00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:15.110
 let me tell you something, George.

27
00:01:15.270 --> 00:01:17.410
 I'm gonna rub you here.

28
00:01:18.410 --> 00:01:20.070
 You have got the freaking,

29
00:01:20.470 --> 00:01:22.530
 one of the greatest shows I've ever heard, man.

30
00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:25.350
 You were just so first in so many different things

31
00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:28.930
 and you're right on cue with a lot of stuff

32
00:01:28.930 --> 00:01:30.570
 that's going on in the world right now.

33
00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:32.830
 You get some phenomenal guests on.

34
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:34.130
 And I'm telling you what,

35
00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:36.810
 the last five episodes that you've done

36
00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:39.030
 that I've watched lately

37
00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:40.930
 has just been knocking it out of the park, man.

38
00:01:40.930 --> 00:01:44.010
 And you're really in tune with what's going on.

39
00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:45.710
 And that's why I wanted to have you back on

40
00:01:45.710 --> 00:01:48.370
 because, man, I've gotta talk to you, you know?

41
00:01:48.690 --> 00:01:52.110
 It bugs me in the morning when I'm doing my morning show,

42
00:01:52.130 --> 00:01:54.830
 you know, the Road Ridge 101,

43
00:01:55.190 --> 00:01:56.710
 and then you come on and it's just like,

44
00:01:56.730 --> 00:02:01.290
 oh, I wanna mute, I wanna talk to George for a while.

45
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:04.530
 Yeah, you know, I love your morning show.

46
00:02:05.370 --> 00:02:06.830
 I come on when I can,

47
00:02:06.830 --> 00:02:08.509
 but I never wanna be the guy

48
00:02:08.509 --> 00:02:11.410
 who feels like I'm stepping on people's toes

49
00:02:11.990 --> 00:02:13.930
 because everybody there is a great personality.

50
00:02:13.970 --> 00:02:15.830
 I'll have really good things to contribute.

51
00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:19.110
 So, no, the show's great.

52
00:02:19.210 --> 00:02:21.030
 What'd you do in the morning at Road Ridge 101?

53
00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:21.950
 It's pretty fun.

54
00:02:22.710 --> 00:02:23.630
 It's good drive to work.

55
00:02:23.690 --> 00:02:26.010
 Problem is that sometimes I'm already involved in things

56
00:02:26.010 --> 00:02:28.070
 so it's like, I can't, you know, contribute.

57
00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:30.330
 Or like the last time you called me out,

58
00:02:30.370 --> 00:02:31.670
 I'm like, oh, I don't have my earbuds.

59
00:02:31.670 --> 00:02:33.390
 Tried to put the speakerphone in the car.

60
00:02:33.450 --> 00:02:35.550
 It's like, I have no idea how this sounds, but okay.

61
00:02:36.230 --> 00:02:36.710
 You know?

62
00:02:37.470 --> 00:02:38.590
 Well, it's kind of the whipping,

63
00:02:38.730 --> 00:02:40.910
 it's kind of the whipping post for the weather report

64
00:02:40.910 --> 00:02:42.030
 is basically what it is.

65
00:02:42.030 --> 00:02:43.670
 We're pretty serious here, but, you know,

66
00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:45.050
 during the morning it can get pretty.

67
00:02:45.070 --> 00:02:45.690
 No, it's a good show.

68
00:02:45.710 --> 00:02:46.170
 You need that.

69
00:02:46.230 --> 00:02:48.990
 You need a fun, easy transition into the day.

70
00:02:49.210 --> 00:02:51.110
 And, you know, you do touch on some serious stuff

71
00:02:51.110 --> 00:02:52.490
 for sure, but there's always a twist

72
00:02:52.490 --> 00:02:53.930
 to try to bring it back to like,

73
00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:56.010
 hey, let's lighten things up, which is good

74
00:02:56.010 --> 00:02:57.910
 because we can't be hardcore all the time, man.

75
00:02:58.130 --> 00:02:58.750
 Yeah, exactly.

76
00:02:58.890 --> 00:02:59.690
 We need those breaks.

77
00:02:59.950 --> 00:03:01.350
 You gotta lighten it up for sure,

78
00:03:01.430 --> 00:03:02.570
 especially these days, man.

79
00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:04.550
 So, hey, I wanna get right into it, man,

80
00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:05.650
 because you, like I said,

81
00:03:05.650 --> 00:03:07.670
 you've had a lot of guests on.

82
00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:08.750
 I'm gonna go through them.

83
00:03:08.830 --> 00:03:11.130
 Alex Kane, you've had Michelle Stiles,

84
00:03:11.270 --> 00:03:14.110
 you've had Eric Robinson, John Carlos Fry,

85
00:03:14.350 --> 00:03:17.350
 and the last one with Zolai Habibi.

86
00:03:17.490 --> 00:03:18.670
 Is that, I wanna say.

87
00:03:18.770 --> 00:03:19.850
 Yeah, Zolai Habibi.

88
00:03:20.330 --> 00:03:20.990
 Right, yeah.

89
00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:22.870
 Yeah, and all of them has touched

90
00:03:22.870 --> 00:03:24.730
 on different things that are going on,

91
00:03:24.790 --> 00:03:26.470
 you know, current events and stuff like that.

92
00:03:26.810 --> 00:03:28.230
 And it's really interesting.

93
00:03:28.350 --> 00:03:30.170
 And the thing that I wanted to talk to you about,

94
00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:31.710
 and we're gonna meld all these things,

95
00:03:31.730 --> 00:03:33.510
 because these last five shows that you did

96
00:03:33.510 --> 00:03:35.730
 kind of just kind of fall into

97
00:03:35.730 --> 00:03:37.650
 what's going on with the world right now

98
00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:39.110
 and how we all feel about it.

99
00:03:39.310 --> 00:03:41.650
 And how, another one is just like,

100
00:03:41.790 --> 00:03:43.490
 I pound and pound and pound all the time

101
00:03:43.490 --> 00:03:46.490
 about how divided we are.

102
00:03:46.670 --> 00:03:50.270
 And that's a big problem to me, especially.

103
00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:51.850
 And I don't take it personally,

104
00:03:51.950 --> 00:03:56.830
 but my world site and my foresight with me,

105
00:03:56.930 --> 00:03:59.610
 my coworkers, my friends, you know,

106
00:03:59.710 --> 00:04:01.650
 and outsources to community and everything else,

107
00:04:01.650 --> 00:04:03.570
 it brings that all in perspective.

108
00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:08.010
 And I'm telling you what, man, I'm not very,

109
00:04:08.290 --> 00:04:12.770
 what do you wanna call optimist about the future

110
00:04:13.570 --> 00:04:15.670
 of what we're doing in the United States right now.

111
00:04:15.830 --> 00:04:17.050
 I really not.

112
00:04:17.089 --> 00:04:18.950
 And it doesn't matter how you feel about Trump.

113
00:04:19.390 --> 00:04:20.529
 Are you well's black pillars?

114
00:04:21.970 --> 00:04:22.850
 Yeah, exactly.

115
00:04:23.810 --> 00:04:26.170
 Yeah, it's, you know, the whole thing is,

116
00:04:26.350 --> 00:04:28.150
 is that it doesn't matter what you feel about Trump.

117
00:04:28.270 --> 00:04:30.210
 It doesn't matter what you feel about Democrats

118
00:04:30.210 --> 00:04:31.530
 or whatever, you know.

119
00:04:31.670 --> 00:04:31.750
 Right.

120
00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:33.250
 The thing is, is that we're in this life,

121
00:04:33.350 --> 00:04:34.570
 we're all in this life together.

122
00:04:34.850 --> 00:04:36.950
 And we're all kind of right now

123
00:04:36.950 --> 00:04:39.110
 walking around on eggshells, dude.

124
00:04:39.110 --> 00:04:39.890
 And I hate that.

125
00:04:40.910 --> 00:04:42.510
 Yeah, I hate that too.

126
00:04:42.510 --> 00:04:45.930
 And that's unfortunately something that has been going on

127
00:04:47.430 --> 00:04:50.810
 since, well, I think started with the protests

128
00:04:50.810 --> 00:04:53.230
 in the 60s, right?

129
00:04:54.250 --> 00:04:55.670
 Late 60s, whatever, with Vietnam.

130
00:04:56.230 --> 00:04:57.330
 Started there.

131
00:04:57.330 --> 00:05:00.310
 But I think in the 90s is when it really started

132
00:05:00.310 --> 00:05:04.890
 to become an era when you were chastised

133
00:05:04.890 --> 00:05:08.070
 for your viewpoint or your belief or your opinion.

134
00:05:08.510 --> 00:05:10.350
 And then in the 2000s, forget about it.

135
00:05:10.350 --> 00:05:12.990
 It totally became information warfare,

136
00:05:14.030 --> 00:05:17.370
 keeping people in line by shaming them.

137
00:05:17.870 --> 00:05:22.210
 And then we had the whole cancellation movement, right?

138
00:05:22.250 --> 00:05:23.790
 So it's now like, well, I don't agree with you.

139
00:05:23.790 --> 00:05:24.950
 So let me take away your income

140
00:05:24.950 --> 00:05:26.930
 and your livelihood, everything about you.

141
00:05:26.930 --> 00:05:28.410
 We're just gonna wipe it off the face of the earth

142
00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:30.850
 because I don't agree with what you have to say.

143
00:05:31.330 --> 00:05:34.250
 Kind of stabilized a bit now, but it's still there.

144
00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:37.670
 I mean, it's that see the underbelly

145
00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:40.090
 of society we have right now

146
00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:42.770
 because the issue is like,

147
00:05:43.010 --> 00:05:45.730
 you feel you can't say certain things, right?

148
00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:48.910
 With certain people at the workplace, et cetera.

149
00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:53.370
 But that is because your viewpoint

150
00:05:53.370 --> 00:05:55.630
 may not be the majority viewpoint, right?

151
00:05:55.630 --> 00:05:57.490
 And the funny thing about a workplace is like,

152
00:05:57.550 --> 00:05:59.410
 you're not supposed to talk about politics and all this stuff,

153
00:05:59.410 --> 00:06:00.930
 but they absolutely do if they feel

154
00:06:00.930 --> 00:06:02.570
 they have the majority in an opinion,

155
00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:04.570
 especially if you work in a place

156
00:06:04.570 --> 00:06:07.330
 that is primarily leftist or Democrat-led.

157
00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:10.790
 And I know where you're located in that area,

158
00:06:10.950 --> 00:06:13.210
 it's like, you can't really get away from that.

159
00:06:14.350 --> 00:06:16.890
 Yeah, and the same goes for me on many things.

160
00:06:17.450 --> 00:06:19.490
 It's like, I can't really express everything.

161
00:06:19.970 --> 00:06:20.970
 And I got to bite my tongue

162
00:06:20.970 --> 00:06:22.770
 when I hear people trying to talk politics,

163
00:06:22.970 --> 00:06:23.810
 especially geopolitics.

164
00:06:23.810 --> 00:06:25.410
 You guys really don't know

165
00:06:25.410 --> 00:06:26.810
 what the hell you're talking about.

166
00:06:27.190 --> 00:06:29.030
 And you could tell it's all gleamed,

167
00:06:29.190 --> 00:06:30.510
 their information's all gleamed from the headlines.

168
00:06:30.810 --> 00:06:33.150
 They're just like, it's ridiculous.

169
00:06:33.230 --> 00:06:34.870
 And then if you try to say something,

170
00:06:34.910 --> 00:06:37.070
 you know it's gonna backfire on you.

171
00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:38.470
 And then there's always that threat

172
00:06:38.470 --> 00:06:41.230
 of being called in the office, HR, et cetera.

173
00:06:41.230 --> 00:06:42.350
 And then it just leads to like,

174
00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:43.970
 oh, well, we don't believe you're fit

175
00:06:43.970 --> 00:06:45.550
 because you don't align with our values.

176
00:06:45.630 --> 00:06:47.890
 It's like, well, what are your values, right?

177
00:06:48.270 --> 00:06:49.370
 And it's just a sad thing.

178
00:06:49.390 --> 00:06:52.030
 But we see it in media, we see it in podcasting.

179
00:06:52.030 --> 00:06:53.510
 I mean, let's just be honest.

180
00:06:54.150 --> 00:06:55.590
 I think you have a great show,

181
00:06:55.590 --> 00:06:57.870
 but it's like, we're never,

182
00:06:58.030 --> 00:07:01.870
 like even with me, I mean, I'm not super, super big.

183
00:07:02.070 --> 00:07:04.290
 I mean, I'm blessed to be bigger than the average,

184
00:07:04.390 --> 00:07:06.470
 I guess, depending on how you look at it.

185
00:07:06.630 --> 00:07:08.590
 But at the same time, it's like,

186
00:07:08.790 --> 00:07:11.790
 we're not getting the exposure and reach that we could

187
00:07:11.790 --> 00:07:13.450
 because we're not playing the game.

188
00:07:14.070 --> 00:07:15.610
 And my approach is like,

189
00:07:16.430 --> 00:07:19.770
 I'd rather put out quality content based on truth.

190
00:07:20.270 --> 00:07:21.630
 I like to talk to everybody.

191
00:07:21.630 --> 00:07:22.790
 I don't always agree with them.

192
00:07:22.850 --> 00:07:24.530
 And you see that contrast.

193
00:07:24.550 --> 00:07:26.810
 I know you see it because on my solo episodes,

194
00:07:26.810 --> 00:07:28.170
 I'm a different person.

195
00:07:28.490 --> 00:07:30.810
 But when I have a guest, I know when to pull back

196
00:07:30.810 --> 00:07:32.690
 and just like, let's have this conversation.

197
00:07:32.710 --> 00:07:33.830
 I wanna hear your side.

198
00:07:34.450 --> 00:07:37.850
 And I've had some guests not wanna be on the show

199
00:07:37.850 --> 00:07:39.590
 because they're like, oh, you're a MAGA guy, whatever.

200
00:07:39.750 --> 00:07:40.370
 It's like, well, I don't even know

201
00:07:40.370 --> 00:07:41.030
 where that came from.

202
00:07:41.150 --> 00:07:42.050
 Maybe because in the beginning,

203
00:07:42.250 --> 00:07:42.870
 where Trump was. What about it?

204
00:07:43.030 --> 00:07:43.810
 Yeah, I don't know.

205
00:07:44.030 --> 00:07:45.910
 Well, maybe because when Trump was running,

206
00:07:45.910 --> 00:07:47.090
 I was behind Trump.

207
00:07:47.670 --> 00:07:48.870
 I mean, look at the alternative.

208
00:07:48.870 --> 00:07:51.890
 I was not going to let another Democrat be in office

209
00:07:51.890 --> 00:07:52.770
 for another four years

210
00:07:52.770 --> 00:07:54.490
 or even the potential of another eight years.

211
00:07:54.870 --> 00:07:55.970
 It's like, it just wasn't gonna happen.

212
00:07:55.990 --> 00:07:57.150
 It wasn't that I hated Democrats.

213
00:07:57.170 --> 00:07:57.750
 It was just like,

214
00:07:58.230 --> 00:08:01.850
 the people that they were pushing up as the option,

215
00:08:02.210 --> 00:08:04.770
 it's like, was this really the best you guys can do?

216
00:08:05.170 --> 00:08:07.250
 And now they're so broken.

217
00:08:08.070 --> 00:08:10.490
 I mean, they're running against each other.

218
00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:12.510
 You know, we got Jasmine Crockett just,

219
00:08:12.730 --> 00:08:14.330
 I mean, still went to another Democrat.

220
00:08:14.330 --> 00:08:15.770
 Went to Telerico, another Democrat,

221
00:08:15.890 --> 00:08:16.230
 but at the same time.

222
00:08:16.230 --> 00:08:18.510
 Oh my God, that guy is just,

223
00:08:18.510 --> 00:08:20.590
 you listen to him and you go like,

224
00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:22.890
 oh my God, this guy's even worse.

225
00:08:23.270 --> 00:08:24.210
 Oh man.

226
00:08:24.230 --> 00:08:26.010
 He's just been dropping without the,

227
00:08:26.010 --> 00:08:27.810
 without the ubonics, you know.

228
00:08:28.170 --> 00:08:28.690
 Wow.

229
00:08:29.130 --> 00:08:30.450
 They have no direction.

230
00:08:30.610 --> 00:08:33.270
 They're just doing the same old tired thing,

231
00:08:33.429 --> 00:08:34.190
 tired playbook.

232
00:08:34.270 --> 00:08:37.990
 And I think as much as, you know,

233
00:08:38.090 --> 00:08:42.390
 the oppression of valid opinions and formed opinions,

234
00:08:42.429 --> 00:08:43.890
 you know, the thing is like,

235
00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:46.190
 guys like us, I believe we're not taking,

236
00:08:47.010 --> 00:08:47.910
 well, let me rephrase this.

237
00:08:47.910 --> 00:08:49.190
 We're always swimming upstream.

238
00:08:50.590 --> 00:08:52.210
 To me, it's not always about what's popular.

239
00:08:52.310 --> 00:08:54.170
 It's about what's right, what's true.

240
00:08:54.710 --> 00:08:57.030
 And you know, when you mentioned that episode

241
00:08:57.030 --> 00:08:58.390
 I had with John Carlos Frey,

242
00:08:58.750 --> 00:09:01.190
 the guy's a six time Emmy award winning journalist.

243
00:09:01.470 --> 00:09:04.090
 20 something years of just investigating the border,

244
00:09:04.410 --> 00:09:05.890
 border patrol, migrants.

245
00:09:06.390 --> 00:09:08.790
 And unfortunately that episode kind of got buried

246
00:09:08.790 --> 00:09:10.490
 because as soon as we're going to release it

247
00:09:10.490 --> 00:09:13.010
 and we're talking, here goes the war with Iran.

248
00:09:13.310 --> 00:09:16.810
 And it's like, damn it, you know.

249
00:09:17.210 --> 00:09:18.950
 And you got to squish gears and you have to.

250
00:09:19.670 --> 00:09:21.350
 Well, and the fortunate thing is, you know,

251
00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:22.710
 not to discredit him at all,

252
00:09:22.750 --> 00:09:24.310
 because it has nothing to do with popularity

253
00:09:24.310 --> 00:09:26.590
 of him whatsoever or even me.

254
00:09:27.030 --> 00:09:29.130
 It's just like, nobody wanted, they moved on already.

255
00:09:29.330 --> 00:09:30.290
 It's like timing.

256
00:09:30.570 --> 00:09:33.450
 So it's like this news cycle doesn't help us either.

257
00:09:33.930 --> 00:09:35.850
 But you know, the more those videos stay out

258
00:09:35.850 --> 00:09:37.970
 in these interviews and you know, like our discussions,

259
00:09:38.110 --> 00:09:40.310
 people will discover them and they usually end up

260
00:09:40.310 --> 00:09:43.110
 in the end doing fairly well.

261
00:09:43.610 --> 00:09:45.050
 But I really felt bad about that.

262
00:09:45.110 --> 00:09:46.350
 I was like, man, John, you know,

263
00:09:46.350 --> 00:09:48.650
 we're going back and forth as people were like,

264
00:09:48.650 --> 00:09:50.270
 yeah, I'm not sure.

265
00:09:50.390 --> 00:09:51.430
 You're kind of a Maggie guy.

266
00:09:51.590 --> 00:09:52.510
 We believe in migrants.

267
00:09:52.590 --> 00:09:54.550
 I'm like, well, what makes you think I don't?

268
00:09:54.810 --> 00:09:55.450
 Let's talk.

269
00:09:55.730 --> 00:09:56.810
 I mean, I think that's good.

270
00:09:56.910 --> 00:09:58.550
 That's what gets caught in the mix

271
00:09:58.550 --> 00:10:01.010
 when we're out there and we're convicting

272
00:10:01.010 --> 00:10:04.690
 with our friends and confidants and family

273
00:10:04.690 --> 00:10:07.050
 and stuff like that is that they all lump us

274
00:10:07.050 --> 00:10:08.530
 into either one side or the other.

275
00:10:08.670 --> 00:10:09.810
 There's no real mix.

276
00:10:09.950 --> 00:10:12.590
 There's no real kind of, I want to call goulash,

277
00:10:12.590 --> 00:10:15.090
 you know, where everything is kind of mixed in together

278
00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:16.990
 because I know you and then you know me

279
00:10:16.990 --> 00:10:20.290
 and we talk on different shows and stuff like that.

280
00:10:20.510 --> 00:10:23.690
 We're just multifaceted and it's just not a MAGA thing.

281
00:10:23.890 --> 00:10:26.690
 It's just the, I was a Democrat for a long time.

282
00:10:26.790 --> 00:10:27.530
 I was a Bernie bro.

283
00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:29.310
 Oh my God, you know, I was a Bernie bro.

284
00:10:29.870 --> 00:10:30.710
 I was too, you know,

285
00:10:30.710 --> 00:10:33.370
 but the Democrats were different back then.

286
00:10:33.430 --> 00:10:36.330
 I mean, many of our people that we communicate

287
00:10:36.330 --> 00:10:37.730
 with like our circle,

288
00:10:38.190 --> 00:10:40.690
 they all say pretty much the same thing.

289
00:10:41.110 --> 00:10:41.830
 They've changed.

290
00:10:41.890 --> 00:10:43.670
 Cause look, let's go back to the night.

291
00:10:43.670 --> 00:10:48.010
 Let's look at Clinton era Democrats, right?

292
00:10:48.470 --> 00:10:51.950
 They were all for closing the borders, deporting people.

293
00:10:52.090 --> 00:10:54.350
 They were on there saying immigrants are stealing our jobs.

294
00:10:54.470 --> 00:10:56.990
 Like they were doing everything that they're now saying

295
00:10:56.990 --> 00:11:00.790
 is wrong with the messaging and the direction

296
00:11:00.790 --> 00:11:02.570
 of the current Trump administration.

297
00:11:02.930 --> 00:11:05.810
 And I'm like, if I put you guys up like this,

298
00:11:05.850 --> 00:11:07.290
 you're the same fucking party,

299
00:11:07.290 --> 00:11:09.630
 but all of a sudden between here and here,

300
00:11:09.970 --> 00:11:11.650
 it's like, what happened?

301
00:11:11.650 --> 00:11:12.290
 Yeah.

302
00:11:12.450 --> 00:11:13.690
 You know, and then there are excuses like,

303
00:11:13.870 --> 00:11:15.730
 well, you know, we do evolve and.

304
00:11:15.930 --> 00:11:19.430
 Yeah, well, let me say in marketing,

305
00:11:19.430 --> 00:11:21.690
 it's always known to everybody

306
00:11:21.690 --> 00:11:24.470
 that the person does not evolve.

307
00:11:24.690 --> 00:11:27.570
 The same marketing that's been working in the 1930s

308
00:11:27.570 --> 00:11:28.830
 is working now.

309
00:11:29.830 --> 00:11:31.390
 And marketers know that

310
00:11:31.390 --> 00:11:33.890
 and they use those same tactics and stuff like that.

311
00:11:34.190 --> 00:11:36.370
 But really when it comes down to this geopolitics,

312
00:11:36.430 --> 00:11:37.510
 you brought up geopolitics,

313
00:11:37.550 --> 00:11:39.230
 let's kind of back back into that.

314
00:11:39.330 --> 00:11:41.330
 Is that, yeah, everybody uses headlines.

315
00:11:41.330 --> 00:11:42.730
 I mean, I've got all kinds of headlines

316
00:11:42.730 --> 00:11:44.950
 we can talk about this morning about geopolitics.

317
00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:48.790
 All of a sudden, everybody is attuned to Iran.

318
00:11:49.070 --> 00:11:50.410
 Everybody knows everything about Iran.

319
00:11:50.790 --> 00:11:51.270
 You know what?

320
00:11:51.490 --> 00:11:53.770
 I'll tell you what, I don't know shit about Iran.

321
00:11:54.230 --> 00:11:55.830
 I know how I feel about Iran,

322
00:11:55.910 --> 00:11:57.490
 but I do know this about Iran.

323
00:11:57.630 --> 00:12:00.990
 I was a young airman in a Titan II missile silo

324
00:12:00.990 --> 00:12:04.070
 in 1979 when they took the hostages.

325
00:12:04.130 --> 00:12:07.950
 And I know exactly the readiness that I had to be at

326
00:12:07.950 --> 00:12:09.790
 being in that missile silo at that time,

327
00:12:09.790 --> 00:12:11.310
 scared out of my gorge

328
00:12:11.310 --> 00:12:15.070
 because I'm freaking 18, 19 years old at the time.

329
00:12:15.890 --> 00:12:19.510
 And you're there in a nuclear missile silo.

330
00:12:20.130 --> 00:12:23.030
 The alarm goes off, you're ready to do it,

331
00:12:23.030 --> 00:12:24.730
 and you're just waiting.

332
00:12:25.010 --> 00:12:26.390
 I mean, they put us on high alert.

333
00:12:27.350 --> 00:12:33.530
 I remember the Iran before the Shah was deposed and gone.

334
00:12:34.470 --> 00:12:37.490
 And I know, and I've lived through this history.

335
00:12:37.490 --> 00:12:40.010
 And kind of what the reason why I wanted you on here

336
00:12:40.010 --> 00:12:42.030
 because the last five episodes

337
00:12:42.030 --> 00:12:44.150
 is kind of spanned over that time

338
00:12:44.150 --> 00:12:49.310
 where we realized that what's going on in Iran right now

339
00:12:49.310 --> 00:12:52.830
 is different than what was going on in the 70s, okay?

340
00:12:53.510 --> 00:12:57.410
 We've got, what, three generations of people already

341
00:12:57.410 --> 00:12:59.250
 that have passed by that.

342
00:12:59.530 --> 00:13:02.030
 So some of these people that are out there

343
00:13:02.030 --> 00:13:04.770
 and they're protesting, especially the young people,

344
00:13:04.770 --> 00:13:08.290
 have no idea about what went on in the 70s.

345
00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:10.850
 All they know is that they're tired of being oppressed.

346
00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:12.930
 And I got a really pointed question here

347
00:13:12.930 --> 00:13:14.630
 that I wanted to say.

348
00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:19.890
 In 1979, it was the students that was doing the uprising

349
00:13:19.890 --> 00:13:24.710
 to bring on the regime that they have now in Iran.

350
00:13:25.330 --> 00:13:28.530
 And now we're supposed to trust those same students

351
00:13:29.850 --> 00:13:34.250
 that are protesting now to try to bring change into Iran.

352
00:13:34.250 --> 00:13:36.730
 Now I know those students are different now

353
00:13:36.730 --> 00:13:38.150
 than they were in the 70s,

354
00:13:38.210 --> 00:13:39.870
 but there's still the young people

355
00:13:39.870 --> 00:13:40.950
 that are creating this movement.

356
00:13:40.950 --> 00:13:41.870
 What do you think about that?

357
00:13:42.850 --> 00:13:45.030
 I think the difference is,

358
00:13:45.550 --> 00:13:48.270
 well, there's a few parts to that, Bruce.

359
00:13:48.430 --> 00:13:49.570
 Yeah, there's a whole bunch.

360
00:13:50.290 --> 00:13:55.930
 The, in 1979, what happened was the Islamic regime

361
00:13:55.930 --> 00:13:57.850
 took advantage of what was going on

362
00:13:57.850 --> 00:13:59.370
 with the current Shah at the time.

363
00:13:59.650 --> 00:14:01.790
 When he nationalized oil, for example,

364
00:14:01.790 --> 00:14:02.770
 a lot of people thought,

365
00:14:04.170 --> 00:14:05.750
 or traditionalists or conservatives,

366
00:14:06.230 --> 00:14:09.970
 being those who were practitioners of Islam,

367
00:14:10.010 --> 00:14:12.870
 sorry, morning, getting my coffee in.

368
00:14:14.070 --> 00:14:15.950
 But those who were practitioners of Islam

369
00:14:15.950 --> 00:14:19.250
 who took it very conservatively or very literally,

370
00:14:20.250 --> 00:14:22.790
 they've been wanting to take control for years.

371
00:14:23.030 --> 00:14:24.930
 We got a 1400 year old religion

372
00:14:24.930 --> 00:14:29.070
 that was also invented 600 years after Christianity.

373
00:14:29.630 --> 00:14:31.670
 And even if you look at it from that point of view,

374
00:14:31.670 --> 00:14:34.870
 Christianity was founded after Christ,

375
00:14:35.530 --> 00:14:37.150
 which still doesn't even,

376
00:14:37.310 --> 00:14:38.970
 if you look at that gap in time

377
00:14:38.970 --> 00:14:40.270
 between Christianity and Islam

378
00:14:40.270 --> 00:14:41.990
 and you wanna go further back,

379
00:14:41.990 --> 00:14:45.310
 you go back to the Abrahamic teachings, right?

380
00:14:45.310 --> 00:14:46.410
 Go back to the Old Testament.

381
00:14:47.130 --> 00:14:49.290
 Islam was even further removed by a few thousand years.

382
00:14:49.830 --> 00:14:55.050
 So the reality is Islam was on a mission.

383
00:14:55.650 --> 00:14:57.550
 Those who practice Islam were on a mission

384
00:14:57.550 --> 00:15:00.530
 to convert and take over many nations,

385
00:15:01.330 --> 00:15:02.570
 happened to Istanbul.

386
00:15:03.190 --> 00:15:07.210
 So Constantinople was taken, right?

387
00:15:07.470 --> 00:15:09.830
 Turned into now what is today Turkey,

388
00:15:09.990 --> 00:15:11.670
 which is a Muslim nation.

389
00:15:12.010 --> 00:15:15.150
 And so they were doing the same thing in Persia.

390
00:15:15.310 --> 00:15:16.670
 Okay, so there's a lot of history here.

391
00:15:16.730 --> 00:15:21.150
 This was a long, slow, steady mission to convert.

392
00:15:21.350 --> 00:15:24.370
 It's not the original religion of Iran,

393
00:15:24.690 --> 00:15:26.270
 what is known as Iran today.

394
00:15:26.730 --> 00:15:28.310
 And a lot of people don't realize that.

395
00:15:28.310 --> 00:15:31.050
 And even now, there are people who live in Iran

396
00:15:31.050 --> 00:15:33.050
 that are not Muslims,

397
00:15:33.090 --> 00:15:35.330
 or at least not the Muslim that you see

398
00:15:35.330 --> 00:15:38.870
 that is being presented by the Islamic regime

399
00:15:38.870 --> 00:15:40.690
 or those who practice extreme Islam.

400
00:15:41.310 --> 00:15:42.810
 It's not the evil extreme.

401
00:15:43.050 --> 00:15:46.430
 So there's a difference between people taking advantage

402
00:15:46.430 --> 00:15:48.650
 of a religion to gain power and control,

403
00:15:48.830 --> 00:15:51.430
 which is exactly what the regime did in 79,

404
00:15:51.790 --> 00:15:55.710
 because the people were not happy with the Shah.

405
00:15:56.190 --> 00:15:58.550
 They thought he was trying to become too westernized.

406
00:15:58.630 --> 00:16:00.390
 They didn't like that the oil was being nationalized.

407
00:16:00.470 --> 00:16:01.990
 They thought that he was pandering

408
00:16:01.990 --> 00:16:04.830
 to the UK and the USA at the time.

409
00:16:05.710 --> 00:16:07.590
 But a lot of people ignore why the USA

410
00:16:07.590 --> 00:16:09.050
 ever got involved anyway.

411
00:16:09.510 --> 00:16:11.510
 And the history even goes before that,

412
00:16:11.810 --> 00:16:14.670
 is that it came down to trying to keep communism

413
00:16:14.670 --> 00:16:15.290
 out of the area.

414
00:16:15.330 --> 00:16:16.890
 Because a lot of people never talk about

415
00:16:16.890 --> 00:16:20.690
 or they contentially ignore that in Afghanistan,

416
00:16:22.110 --> 00:16:24.490
 that Russia of the time or the USSR of the time

417
00:16:24.490 --> 00:16:28.890
 was trying to gain a foothold in the area and control it.

418
00:16:28.950 --> 00:16:31.590
 They also were doing the same thing with Iran.

419
00:16:32.790 --> 00:16:35.510
 And a lot of people ignore that fact of history,

420
00:16:35.550 --> 00:16:36.150
 that part of history.

421
00:16:36.190 --> 00:16:38.370
 They just see, oh, the US intervention, the UK,

422
00:16:38.570 --> 00:16:39.770
 and they screwed everything up

423
00:16:39.770 --> 00:16:41.590
 and they forced regime change.

424
00:16:41.610 --> 00:16:43.110
 Well, that's not what really happened.

425
00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:46.070
 The US really got involved to try to help those

426
00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:50.770
 who were against the rise of communism

427
00:16:50.770 --> 00:16:53.890
 and or even Islam to take over.

428
00:16:54.830 --> 00:16:56.970
 So there's those things that they don't talk about,

429
00:16:57.190 --> 00:17:00.270
 but 79 was ripe for the taking for the Islamic regime

430
00:17:00.270 --> 00:17:02.550
 because people were fed up with the Shah at the time.

431
00:17:02.550 --> 00:17:03.810
 They didn't think that he was doing his right.

432
00:17:04.010 --> 00:17:06.770
 And he was also, his regime also,

433
00:17:07.030 --> 00:17:10.010
 or was doing things that were considered

434
00:17:10.010 --> 00:17:10.869
 very authoritarian.

435
00:17:12.010 --> 00:17:14.750
 He was arresting people, he was silencing people.

436
00:17:15.550 --> 00:17:17.770
 Yeah, so you got this monarchy

437
00:17:17.770 --> 00:17:20.730
 that seemed to be benevolent for the people

438
00:17:20.730 --> 00:17:23.150
 that was starting to turn away from the people

439
00:17:23.150 --> 00:17:24.970
 and treat them like, no, you're my subjects.

440
00:17:26.150 --> 00:17:28.569
 So get into your question here.

441
00:17:29.770 --> 00:17:32.130
 The way to change the nation

442
00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:35.390
 is to force change through the youth.

443
00:17:35.990 --> 00:17:38.350
 And of course, that's why you saw that happening

444
00:17:38.930 --> 00:17:41.330
 with college students, just as you see in America.

445
00:17:41.770 --> 00:17:43.190
 I mean, where do all the protests

446
00:17:43.190 --> 00:17:46.830
 and the ideas of communism, Marxism, socialism,

447
00:17:46.890 --> 00:17:48.350
 where do those all come from?

448
00:17:48.810 --> 00:17:50.490
 It's all from the people

449
00:17:50.490 --> 00:17:53.490
 that are in the colleges, universities,

450
00:17:53.850 --> 00:17:55.030
 higher education, they call it.

451
00:17:55.770 --> 00:17:56.830
 Yeah, academia for sure.

452
00:17:57.050 --> 00:17:58.410
 But they call it higher education,

453
00:17:58.430 --> 00:17:59.710
 but I got to question that.

454
00:17:59.830 --> 00:18:01.170
 Is it really higher education?

455
00:18:01.670 --> 00:18:03.610
 I mean, it seems like force indoctrination to me.

456
00:18:04.490 --> 00:18:06.690
 And so that's what they did.

457
00:18:06.730 --> 00:18:07.710
 It's an old playbook.

458
00:18:07.730 --> 00:18:11.330
 And if you look at 1979 of Iran,

459
00:18:11.430 --> 00:18:12.670
 that is what they did.

460
00:18:12.910 --> 00:18:14.170
 They worked with the youth,

461
00:18:14.190 --> 00:18:15.830
 they infiltrated the universities.

462
00:18:16.430 --> 00:18:18.110
 They're like, no, this is the way

463
00:18:18.110 --> 00:18:21.210
 they were trying to preach how,

464
00:18:21.750 --> 00:18:23.070
 we will take care of the people.

465
00:18:23.530 --> 00:18:26.790
 We got to turn Iran back to its traditional roots.

466
00:18:26.970 --> 00:18:27.910
 But the problem with that,

467
00:18:27.930 --> 00:18:29.750
 the traditional roots really wasn't Islam

468
00:18:29.750 --> 00:18:31.370
 as much as they want to claim it is.

469
00:18:32.430 --> 00:18:34.370
 So they easily were able to take advantage

470
00:18:34.370 --> 00:18:35.750
 of the situation and they did.

471
00:18:35.790 --> 00:18:36.690
 They lied to the people.

472
00:18:36.750 --> 00:18:38.050
 And once they got into power,

473
00:18:38.810 --> 00:18:40.830
 they did exactly what they were warned

474
00:18:41.430 --> 00:18:42.570
 that everybody was warning

475
00:18:42.570 --> 00:18:44.130
 or the West was warning everybody about.

476
00:18:44.790 --> 00:18:48.030
 And they assert themselves became powerful

477
00:18:48.030 --> 00:18:49.010
 to control the people.

478
00:18:49.330 --> 00:18:52.570
 And then they instilled their view of Islam,

479
00:18:52.770 --> 00:18:55.250
 which was a very authoritarian view of it,

480
00:18:55.250 --> 00:18:56.590
 very rigid, very strict.

481
00:18:57.250 --> 00:18:59.490
 And they suppressed the people to control them.

482
00:18:59.990 --> 00:19:00.910
 I mean, they control the internet,

483
00:19:00.950 --> 00:19:02.090
 they control everything.

484
00:19:02.570 --> 00:19:04.830
 And so the difference between then and now

485
00:19:04.830 --> 00:19:07.950
 and why you see maybe three generations removed

486
00:19:07.950 --> 00:19:11.310
 is because the internet is huge, it's prevalent.

487
00:19:11.430 --> 00:19:13.330
 Like there's only so much of the outside world

488
00:19:13.330 --> 00:19:16.670
 in today's modern world that you can suppress.

489
00:19:16.670 --> 00:19:17.530
 Let's accent that.

490
00:19:17.530 --> 00:19:19.870
 Let's accent that what they've been disarmed also.

491
00:19:20.230 --> 00:19:24.030
 So you have a disarmed society against the society,

492
00:19:24.450 --> 00:19:27.110
 that against a government that has all the weapons also.

493
00:19:27.650 --> 00:19:28.210
 Yeah, absolutely.

494
00:19:28.610 --> 00:19:29.550
 I mean, that's just it.

495
00:19:29.630 --> 00:19:32.350
 That is another techno playbook that you see

496
00:19:32.350 --> 00:19:34.270
 and while that we see in extreme Islam,

497
00:19:34.290 --> 00:19:35.870
 we see in communism, right?

498
00:19:36.870 --> 00:19:39.050
 So how many communist countries you see

499
00:19:39.050 --> 00:19:41.310
 where the people actually own weapons personally?

500
00:19:41.830 --> 00:19:43.350
 Yeah, exactly, exactly.

501
00:19:43.730 --> 00:19:45.830
 Yeah, so fast forwarding into

502
00:19:45.830 --> 00:19:49.310
 what we have dealing with the United States

503
00:19:49.310 --> 00:19:51.250
 and in certain areas of the United States.

504
00:19:51.390 --> 00:19:52.690
 Let's just take in New York City.

505
00:19:52.930 --> 00:19:57.150
 We've got Mandami who was just elected by the people

506
00:19:57.150 --> 00:19:59.350
 to lead New York City,

507
00:19:59.430 --> 00:20:01.530
 one of the largest cities in America.

508
00:20:01.850 --> 00:20:04.030
 And now we've got communism coming in there.

509
00:20:04.290 --> 00:20:07.070
 And this was all brought forth by a young vote.

510
00:20:07.310 --> 00:20:09.050
 I mean, let's face it.

511
00:20:09.190 --> 00:20:10.970
 When they came out to vote for that,

512
00:20:11.270 --> 00:20:12.670
 a lot of the young peoples came out

513
00:20:12.670 --> 00:20:14.610
 and they decided that they wanted to vote.

514
00:20:15.230 --> 00:20:18.290
 And this is being a part of the situation

515
00:20:18.290 --> 00:20:21.330
 where three generations from my generation,

516
00:20:21.430 --> 00:20:23.270
 three or four generations from my generation

517
00:20:23.270 --> 00:20:26.670
 are now looking at everybody and going like,

518
00:20:27.150 --> 00:20:29.310
 oh my God, we're gonna leave this freaking government

519
00:20:29.310 --> 00:20:30.130
 to these kids.

520
00:20:32.330 --> 00:20:32.430
 Yeah.

521
00:20:34.190 --> 00:20:35.550
 It doesn't scare me as much.

522
00:20:35.910 --> 00:20:38.630
 I mean, I'm sure that back when I was started,

523
00:20:38.910 --> 00:20:41.330
 when I was back in that missile silo in 1979,

524
00:20:41.330 --> 00:20:43.950
 I just voted for the first time in my whole life.

525
00:20:44.950 --> 00:20:46.630
 My parents looking at me going like,

526
00:20:46.730 --> 00:20:49.950
 oh my God, we're gonna leave this world up for these kids.

527
00:20:50.150 --> 00:20:52.830
 I mean, so it's a perpetual statement

528
00:20:52.830 --> 00:20:54.770
 that keeps going on and on and on.

529
00:20:55.010 --> 00:20:56.390
 But what do you think about that?

530
00:20:56.530 --> 00:20:57.910
 I mean, so there's some similarities,

531
00:20:58.130 --> 00:20:59.330
 there's some duopoly there

532
00:20:59.330 --> 00:21:01.370
 with the way that college students

533
00:21:01.370 --> 00:21:04.310
 are now being taught by academia in the colleges

534
00:21:04.310 --> 00:21:07.810
 that of course they're using the same old playbook

535
00:21:07.810 --> 00:21:11.150
 as you just noted and going forward with that.

536
00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:14.950
 It's part of the communist Marxist playbook, literally.

537
00:21:15.470 --> 00:21:17.310
 And the reason, so you brought up

538
00:21:17.310 --> 00:21:19.590
 three generations a few times

539
00:21:20.150 --> 00:21:23.330
 and that's important to note

540
00:21:23.330 --> 00:21:26.850
 because the process is long, slow and steady.

541
00:21:27.610 --> 00:21:28.890
 It's not instant.

542
00:21:29.390 --> 00:21:30.090
 It's drip, yeah, it's a drip.

543
00:21:30.510 --> 00:21:32.950
 It is a drip, it's a constant.

544
00:21:33.110 --> 00:21:34.690
 I mean, it's a programming of the people

545
00:21:34.690 --> 00:21:35.950
 and that's what's been happening.

546
00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:39.070
 And it's been happening through, again, higher education.

547
00:21:39.750 --> 00:21:45.050
 And academia, and this is what they do.

548
00:21:46.070 --> 00:21:47.750
 Okay, third generation, right?

549
00:21:47.750 --> 00:21:50.490
 Third generation from your time, for example.

550
00:21:51.790 --> 00:21:54.390
 The reality is what they did

551
00:21:54.390 --> 00:21:58.030
 is slowly introduced the ideas of a better world

552
00:21:58.030 --> 00:22:02.150
 through socialism and then Marxism

553
00:22:02.150 --> 00:22:05.470
 and saying, well, maybe the way of the U.S.,

554
00:22:05.930 --> 00:22:07.890
 our political structure,

555
00:22:07.890 --> 00:22:09.570
 capitalism is just bad.

556
00:22:09.870 --> 00:22:12.050
 The reason everything is bad in the USA

557
00:22:12.050 --> 00:22:13.310
 is because of capitalism.

558
00:22:13.470 --> 00:22:15.310
 The reason the world is bad is because the USA

559
00:22:15.310 --> 00:22:17.590
 is the big bad bully that's beating everybody

560
00:22:17.590 --> 00:22:18.430
 over the head with a stick.

561
00:22:19.010 --> 00:22:20.790
 And that message has been constant

562
00:22:20.790 --> 00:22:23.810
 for, as you said, going on three generations.

563
00:22:24.190 --> 00:22:28.110
 So eventually, it's like if you're gonna have to,

564
00:22:28.130 --> 00:22:29.590
 let's say if you breed an animal

565
00:22:29.590 --> 00:22:32.130
 and you want a different trait out of that animal,

566
00:22:32.630 --> 00:22:36.090
 it takes time through manipulating the DNA, right,

567
00:22:36.090 --> 00:22:38.530
 over time, and then eventually that's how you get

568
00:22:38.530 --> 00:22:41.810
 like a Shetland pony or a certain dog breed example.

569
00:22:42.270 --> 00:22:44.550
 I'm not equating animals to politics here,

570
00:22:44.970 --> 00:22:48.890
 but I think that's a valid example

571
00:22:48.890 --> 00:22:52.350
 because that's how they're doing it to the people,

572
00:22:52.610 --> 00:22:53.550
 through controlling the messaging

573
00:22:54.110 --> 00:22:55.930
 and being consistent in the message

574
00:22:55.930 --> 00:22:56.970
 without being overwhelming.

575
00:22:57.190 --> 00:22:59.390
 So it's like a slow, steady,

576
00:22:59.850 --> 00:23:01.710
 it's like if I told you every day,

577
00:23:01.770 --> 00:23:02.890
 sky isn't blue, it's black,

578
00:23:02.890 --> 00:23:04.630
 and I never changed my position.

579
00:23:04.690 --> 00:23:05.930
 Eventually, one day you're gonna question

580
00:23:05.930 --> 00:23:06.730
 whether it was blue.

581
00:23:07.370 --> 00:23:08.050
 Exactly, exactly.

582
00:23:08.090 --> 00:23:08.830
 So that's what they've been doing.

583
00:23:08.890 --> 00:23:10.470
 So that's why you see this.

584
00:23:10.570 --> 00:23:11.910
 Now, what didn't help though,

585
00:23:11.950 --> 00:23:12.950
 when we're talking about Mamdani,

586
00:23:13.330 --> 00:23:15.810
 what didn't help is you gotta question,

587
00:23:16.350 --> 00:23:18.790
 okay, we understand the messaging in academia

588
00:23:18.790 --> 00:23:22.350
 and them trying to change the people's view

589
00:23:22.350 --> 00:23:23.550
 over three generations,

590
00:23:23.750 --> 00:23:27.930
 but that doesn't explain why Kathy Holkle

591
00:23:28.630 --> 00:23:29.610
 got behind Mamdani.

592
00:23:29.710 --> 00:23:32.390
 It doesn't explain why AOC did or why Bernie Sanders.

593
00:23:32.930 --> 00:23:36.610
 Why are these people who are older,

594
00:23:36.610 --> 00:23:37.810
 well, AOC's still a little bit younger.

595
00:23:38.030 --> 00:23:39.150
 It's not that typical Democrat.

596
00:23:39.170 --> 00:23:40.390
 It's not that typical Democrat.

597
00:23:40.390 --> 00:23:42.930
 Right, why were they able to get behind them?

598
00:23:43.310 --> 00:23:45.030
 Yeah, that we were both with, yeah, exactly.

599
00:23:45.670 --> 00:23:50.270
 And so Mamdani ran as a democratic socialist,

600
00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:51.870
 socialist in the damn name.

601
00:23:52.610 --> 00:23:54.530
 How were they able to get behind him

602
00:23:54.530 --> 00:23:57.250
 for the sake of just hating Trump is really what it was

603
00:23:57.250 --> 00:23:59.310
 and Trump being such a polarizing figure,

604
00:23:59.430 --> 00:24:00.810
 they're like, no matter what we're gonna do,

605
00:24:00.810 --> 00:24:03.390
 we're gonna make sure that we control this.

606
00:24:03.910 --> 00:24:05.310
 And here's the new thing

607
00:24:05.310 --> 00:24:07.370
 that the youth are kind of latching onto.

608
00:24:07.450 --> 00:24:08.330
 So we're gonna support this.

609
00:24:08.370 --> 00:24:09.690
 But as soon as he was in office,

610
00:24:10.070 --> 00:24:11.650
 him and Kathy Holkle been like this.

611
00:24:12.490 --> 00:24:14.430
 She's kind of like pulled the reins in on like,

612
00:24:14.610 --> 00:24:16.650
 oh, you can and can't do certain things.

613
00:24:17.450 --> 00:24:18.850
 Even though the city of New York

614
00:24:18.850 --> 00:24:21.110
 should be managed by Mamdani,

615
00:24:21.370 --> 00:24:22.610
 I mean, honestly being the mayor,

616
00:24:22.710 --> 00:24:23.790
 Kathy also realized like,

617
00:24:23.810 --> 00:24:26.150
 well, this is the jewel of New York state.

618
00:24:26.410 --> 00:24:28.570
 Like this, everything that is done here

619
00:24:28.570 --> 00:24:29.910
 is a message sent to the world.

620
00:24:29.910 --> 00:24:32.330
 Just like people consider San Francisco

621
00:24:32.330 --> 00:24:33.270
 to be that in California,

622
00:24:33.690 --> 00:24:35.130
 even though you and I definitely

623
00:24:35.130 --> 00:24:36.610
 probably don't feel that way.

624
00:24:36.790 --> 00:24:37.910
 We don't agree with that.

625
00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:40.510
 But I think that's what happened.

626
00:24:40.850 --> 00:24:43.510
 It's, you know, everybody's been warning about this

627
00:24:43.510 --> 00:24:44.550
 and everybody's been ignoring saying,

628
00:24:44.570 --> 00:24:46.570
 oh, you guys are just, you know, far right.

629
00:24:46.770 --> 00:24:48.070
 You're, you just don't wanna change.

630
00:24:48.270 --> 00:24:48.770
 You're old.

631
00:24:48.890 --> 00:24:51.050
 You just don't understand the evolution

632
00:24:51.050 --> 00:24:52.290
 of the world around you.

633
00:24:52.490 --> 00:24:53.710
 It's modern, no, bullshit.

634
00:24:54.450 --> 00:24:55.830
 You know, you allowed it to happen.

635
00:24:55.950 --> 00:24:58.350
 It's like you never fixed the leaky faucet.

636
00:24:58.350 --> 00:24:59.770
 And here we go.

637
00:25:00.330 --> 00:25:02.310
 You know, now it's a flood in your damn bathroom.

638
00:25:02.370 --> 00:25:03.710
 Now it's leaking out into the kitchen

639
00:25:03.710 --> 00:25:05.330
 and it's taking over your house.

640
00:25:05.570 --> 00:25:07.250
 And I don't know how they're gonna turn it off

641
00:25:07.250 --> 00:25:09.590
 unless they step in and literally just say,

642
00:25:09.630 --> 00:25:10.870
 this shit stops now.

643
00:25:12.310 --> 00:25:14.370
 And we've seen the same thing through

644
00:25:14.370 --> 00:25:18.490
 the use of manipulating the immigration system,

645
00:25:18.590 --> 00:25:20.370
 you know, how our borders have been handled,

646
00:25:21.130 --> 00:25:23.130
 how there's been preferential treatment

647
00:25:23.130 --> 00:25:26.630
 given to certain groups that immigrate.

648
00:25:27.050 --> 00:25:30.050
 You know, we can talk about the Somalis in Minnesota.

649
00:25:30.070 --> 00:25:31.430
 We can talk about what's going on

650
00:25:31.430 --> 00:25:32.790
 on our southern border with Mexico,

651
00:25:32.810 --> 00:25:33.630
 but not just Mexico.

652
00:25:33.830 --> 00:25:37.170
 You know, most people's from South America

653
00:25:37.170 --> 00:25:38.010
 or from Latin America.

654
00:25:38.670 --> 00:25:40.610
 And you can see how the policies have shifted

655
00:25:40.610 --> 00:25:43.350
 over the years to like one day going,

656
00:25:43.770 --> 00:25:44.690
 immigrants are the future.

657
00:25:45.830 --> 00:25:48.370
 Okay, well that's been going on since,

658
00:25:48.430 --> 00:25:49.710
 maybe you can correct me here.

659
00:25:49.870 --> 00:25:53.510
 I think it was around the 60s

660
00:25:53.510 --> 00:25:56.210
 is when that started like happening more prevalently.

661
00:25:56.210 --> 00:25:56.830
 Is that correct?

662
00:25:57.010 --> 00:25:57.650
 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

663
00:25:57.750 --> 00:26:00.990
 Because well, you had the Farm Workers Union

664
00:26:00.990 --> 00:26:05.890
 coming into California and really basically restructuring

665
00:26:05.890 --> 00:26:08.190
 how they did farming here and agriculture.

666
00:26:08.750 --> 00:26:11.630
 So that's been prevalent for a long time,

667
00:26:11.630 --> 00:26:12.930
 as long as I can remember.

668
00:26:14.130 --> 00:26:15.510
 And like I said, you know,

669
00:26:15.510 --> 00:26:17.570
 this whole thing has evolved over time

670
00:26:17.570 --> 00:26:19.290
 like you were mentioning.

671
00:26:20.330 --> 00:26:21.270
 And we could get into them.

672
00:26:21.270 --> 00:26:24.110
 I mean, this all revolves around every single episode

673
00:26:24.110 --> 00:26:26.070
 that you've had in the last five episodes

674
00:26:26.670 --> 00:26:28.670
 that kind of melded into one.

675
00:26:28.830 --> 00:26:30.030
 Kind of ties together, huh?

676
00:26:30.150 --> 00:26:34.750
 I mean, immigration, I mean, world consequences

677
00:26:34.750 --> 00:26:36.350
 as far as war and stuff like that.

678
00:26:36.830 --> 00:26:38.590
 Venezuela, I mean, I just read,

679
00:26:38.850 --> 00:26:41.190
 I have a thing here from NPR

680
00:26:41.710 --> 00:26:43.630
 that came out of Fox News this morning

681
00:26:43.630 --> 00:26:45.930
 about Venezuela that has really changed

682
00:26:45.930 --> 00:26:47.490
 since Maduro has left.

683
00:26:48.330 --> 00:26:49.410
 And where the hell is Maduro?

684
00:26:49.430 --> 00:26:49.990
 Who knew, right?

685
00:26:50.170 --> 00:26:51.490
 I guess the US was lying, right?

686
00:26:51.490 --> 00:26:53.110
 Yeah, who knew that was gonna change, you know?

687
00:26:53.670 --> 00:26:56.250
 We've got the, what else?

688
00:26:56.450 --> 00:26:59.350
 We got, you know, Trump getting into Iran.

689
00:26:59.510 --> 00:27:00.530
 I mean, back to that.

690
00:27:01.130 --> 00:27:05.370
 This whole thing is that I think that, you know,

691
00:27:05.370 --> 00:27:07.130
 you were kind of sad about the fact

692
00:27:07.130 --> 00:27:09.810
 that you had Jacob Brey on and-

693
00:27:09.810 --> 00:27:10.330
 Oh, John.

694
00:27:10.590 --> 00:27:12.910
 Or John, excuse me, John Carlos Frey.

695
00:27:13.910 --> 00:27:16.350
 And having to, you know,

696
00:27:16.570 --> 00:27:18.750
 the news cycle would go past that.

697
00:27:18.770 --> 00:27:19.330
 Right.

698
00:27:19.950 --> 00:27:23.410
 We all, I talk a lot about the shiny object,

699
00:27:24.070 --> 00:27:28.030
 Epstein files, the war, this, taking over this,

700
00:27:28.530 --> 00:27:30.990
 Nancy, whatever her name is.

701
00:27:31.230 --> 00:27:31.710
 Mace, yeah.

702
00:27:31.730 --> 00:27:34.990
 Yeah, not Nancy Mace, the missing grandma.

703
00:27:35.910 --> 00:27:37.130
 Oh, yeah.

704
00:27:37.210 --> 00:27:40.270
 All these things take precedence over the news cycle

705
00:27:40.270 --> 00:27:42.510
 and then we forget about what's going on

706
00:27:42.510 --> 00:27:43.230
 in the background.

707
00:27:43.450 --> 00:27:44.590
 We forget about that.

708
00:27:44.770 --> 00:27:45.950
 This is what's front and center.

709
00:27:46.490 --> 00:27:46.850
 Yes.

710
00:27:46.850 --> 00:27:48.570
 I'm starting to believe that

711
00:27:49.730 --> 00:27:51.810
 all those things are important and true.

712
00:27:52.530 --> 00:27:54.810
 I mean, but the news cycle is gonna be the news cycle,

713
00:27:54.830 --> 00:27:58.050
 whatever sells advertising is what's gonna lead,

714
00:27:58.710 --> 00:28:01.090
 regardless of whether or not we're still looking for,

715
00:28:01.090 --> 00:28:02.470
 you know, Savannah's grandma,

716
00:28:02.910 --> 00:28:04.570
 regardless of whether we're still asking

717
00:28:04.570 --> 00:28:06.990
 for the Epstein files to be, you know,

718
00:28:07.190 --> 00:28:09.810
 everything, you know, to be released,

719
00:28:10.390 --> 00:28:12.290
 no matter what we feel about immigration,

720
00:28:12.410 --> 00:28:14.010
 no matter what we feel about mandem.

721
00:28:14.010 --> 00:28:16.010
 I mean, now Iran is in the, you know,

722
00:28:16.010 --> 00:28:17.210
 that's the focal point.

723
00:28:18.590 --> 00:28:21.150
 Okay, so, but the thing is with media,

724
00:28:21.430 --> 00:28:22.990
 and I know you know this,

725
00:28:22.990 --> 00:28:26.370
 but I'm gonna say it, it's out of our control

726
00:28:26.370 --> 00:28:27.890
 and the people pulling the strings,

727
00:28:28.010 --> 00:28:30.870
 it's like when you're driving your car, a race car,

728
00:28:30.930 --> 00:28:32.850
 it's like you have control of the throttle.

729
00:28:32.930 --> 00:28:35.450
 Like you can rev it up, just slow it down

730
00:28:35.990 --> 00:28:37.770
 and the news cycle is fast,

731
00:28:37.770 --> 00:28:39.930
 but they do conveniently speed it up

732
00:28:41.190 --> 00:28:45.270
 to basically sidestep certain events, right?

733
00:28:46.410 --> 00:28:48.330
 There's things that have happened recently

734
00:28:48.330 --> 00:28:49.690
 that didn't get a lot of attention.

735
00:28:49.830 --> 00:28:52.950
 I mean, for example, they just signed,

736
00:28:53.050 --> 00:28:54.630
 I don't know what it was actually named,

737
00:28:54.630 --> 00:28:55.450
 I have to look it up,

738
00:28:55.550 --> 00:28:56.950
 but I saved the info,

739
00:28:57.030 --> 00:28:59.930
 the coalition of South Americans,

740
00:29:00.170 --> 00:29:01.430
 or the Americas I mean,

741
00:29:01.770 --> 00:29:03.310
 to where many Latin American countries

742
00:29:03.310 --> 00:29:04.570
 signed an agreement with the US

743
00:29:04.570 --> 00:29:07.730
 to absolutely go after narco terrorists

744
00:29:07.730 --> 00:29:09.110
 and root them out.

745
00:29:09.110 --> 00:29:13.230
 And they did so agreeing to do it in a military fashion,

746
00:29:13.230 --> 00:29:15.290
 meaning the US now has the power

747
00:29:15.290 --> 00:29:16.270
 to work with these governments

748
00:29:16.270 --> 00:29:18.970
 to go into their countries with military

749
00:29:19.510 --> 00:29:21.050
 to take out these narco terrorists.

750
00:29:21.430 --> 00:29:21.910
 Yeah.

751
00:29:22.870 --> 00:29:23.810
 Who didn't sign?

752
00:29:24.010 --> 00:29:25.030
 Mexico, why?

753
00:29:26.290 --> 00:29:28.570
 I don't know, but anyway, that happened

754
00:29:28.570 --> 00:29:30.370
 and you saw a blip, it was like,

755
00:29:30.430 --> 00:29:33.550
 okay, here we go, big old Iran, like you said,

756
00:29:33.990 --> 00:29:34.930
 but Iran's a big deal

757
00:29:34.930 --> 00:29:36.790
 because we've been on a collision course with them,

758
00:29:36.790 --> 00:29:41.410
 as I said before, with other people for about 50 years.

759
00:29:41.590 --> 00:29:44.190
 I mean, this isn't an overnight thing.

760
00:29:44.210 --> 00:29:45.510
 The problem is we had about 50 years

761
00:29:45.510 --> 00:29:47.090
 of bad policy and inaction

762
00:29:47.690 --> 00:29:49.830
 that led us to where we are now.

763
00:29:50.090 --> 00:29:51.390
 And everybody's trying to say,

764
00:29:51.490 --> 00:29:53.390
 well, not everybody, but those paid influencers

765
00:29:53.390 --> 00:29:54.350
 are like, oh, it's Israel,

766
00:29:54.630 --> 00:29:55.990
 we're doing everything at the behest of Israel.

767
00:29:56.070 --> 00:29:56.810
 No, we're not.

768
00:29:57.550 --> 00:30:00.530
 When you have a regime whose policy is death to America

769
00:30:00.530 --> 00:30:03.550
 and to conquer the West intentionally,

770
00:30:04.730 --> 00:30:06.630
 eventually think shit's gonna hit the fan.

771
00:30:08.330 --> 00:30:10.210
 Regardless of the past parents we had

772
00:30:10.210 --> 00:30:11.170
 who didn't want to do anything

773
00:30:11.170 --> 00:30:13.310
 and actually release funds to Iran for whatever reason,

774
00:30:13.310 --> 00:30:14.230
 I have no idea.

775
00:30:15.230 --> 00:30:18.390
 They are the number one state sponsor of terrorism, period.

776
00:30:18.690 --> 00:30:20.350
 You're not going to take that away.

777
00:30:20.830 --> 00:30:22.110
 The problem that we see is,

778
00:30:22.530 --> 00:30:24.830
 what I don't want to see is people constantly saying

779
00:30:24.830 --> 00:30:25.970
 Iran, Iran, Iran,

780
00:30:26.030 --> 00:30:28.650
 they should be referencing the Islamic regime

781
00:30:28.650 --> 00:30:31.650
 or the Iranian regime and the IRGC.

782
00:30:31.650 --> 00:30:34.050
 Those are the two issues we have in Iran.

783
00:30:34.170 --> 00:30:34.910
 It's not necessarily-

784
00:30:34.910 --> 00:30:37.190
 Two different issues too, two different issues also.

785
00:30:37.450 --> 00:30:37.950
 Absolutely.

786
00:30:38.330 --> 00:30:41.270
 So that's the thing that I'm hoping

787
00:30:41.270 --> 00:30:42.830
 that people are more educated on.

788
00:30:42.970 --> 00:30:46.270
 It's like, you don't want to just say Iran constantly

789
00:30:46.270 --> 00:30:49.230
 and people start to see Iranian people as the problem.

790
00:30:49.630 --> 00:30:51.850
 They have to bring the attention to what it really is.

791
00:30:51.850 --> 00:30:54.750
 It's the IRGC and it's the Islamic regime

792
00:30:54.750 --> 00:30:56.650
 or the Iranian regime that's been in control.

793
00:30:57.310 --> 00:31:00.530
 The problem with Iran is they have to completely root out

794
00:31:00.530 --> 00:31:02.750
 this theocratic government.

795
00:31:03.210 --> 00:31:05.630
 They have to also make sure that Islam

796
00:31:05.630 --> 00:31:09.710
 is never front and center in making the decisions

797
00:31:09.710 --> 00:31:12.410
 for the people as a whole or as a nation.

798
00:31:12.650 --> 00:31:15.970
 And that includes everything from their own nation

799
00:31:15.970 --> 00:31:17.770
 to their geopolitical relationships.

800
00:31:18.570 --> 00:31:20.750
 If you want to follow that particular religion,

801
00:31:20.870 --> 00:31:21.970
 it should be a personal thing.

802
00:31:22.350 --> 00:31:24.190
 And you could say this is a Western idea,

803
00:31:24.270 --> 00:31:25.610
 but not really because again,

804
00:31:26.290 --> 00:31:30.210
 it's not the inherent religion of Persia.

805
00:31:30.210 --> 00:31:31.370
 It's just not.

806
00:31:31.370 --> 00:31:34.830
 Yeah, and let's bring that to the forefront.

807
00:31:35.090 --> 00:31:36.790
 I mean, they talk about the United States

808
00:31:36.790 --> 00:31:37.870
 being a Christian nation.

809
00:31:38.130 --> 00:31:39.430
 I mean, I'm a Christian.

810
00:31:39.630 --> 00:31:41.290
 I consider myself a Christian.

811
00:31:43.510 --> 00:31:45.190
 I believe in God and everything,

812
00:31:46.090 --> 00:31:48.010
 but I don't think it should define our nation.

813
00:31:48.170 --> 00:31:50.590
 I don't think, like exactly with Iran,

814
00:31:50.650 --> 00:31:54.790
 I don't think that the Muslim or Islamist faith

815
00:31:54.790 --> 00:32:00.190
 should be the prevalent point of their existence.

816
00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:04.230
 As a nation, I don't think the Christian faith

817
00:32:04.230 --> 00:32:06.910
 should be the focal point of our nation.

818
00:32:07.510 --> 00:32:10.750
 It's values and it's morals that really drive this world.

819
00:32:10.890 --> 00:32:14.530
 And like you said, I think it was this last episode

820
00:32:14.530 --> 00:32:18.850
 that you have with the, who was it?

821
00:32:19.010 --> 00:32:22.770
 Zola, you kind of pressed on that.

822
00:32:22.790 --> 00:32:25.190
 It was just like, that's a personal thing.

823
00:32:25.450 --> 00:32:27.710
 My walk with God, my walk with the Bible,

824
00:32:27.710 --> 00:32:31.330
 my walk with my faith is my personal journey.

825
00:32:31.810 --> 00:32:33.570
 It shouldn't be a part of my country.

826
00:32:33.630 --> 00:32:35.530
 Now, those morals and values should be,

827
00:32:35.770 --> 00:32:37.070
 and I think the Islam faith,

828
00:32:37.090 --> 00:32:39.030
 I think their morals and values should be.

829
00:32:39.110 --> 00:32:40.630
 I know plenty of Muslim people

830
00:32:40.630 --> 00:32:41.910
 that are just kind as hell.

831
00:32:42.190 --> 00:32:45.610
 They think this is all crazy just as much as we do.

832
00:32:46.030 --> 00:32:47.890
 I mean, it's the fringes on both sides

833
00:32:47.890 --> 00:32:50.210
 that are just like the ones that are the craziest.

834
00:32:50.730 --> 00:32:52.690
 And I think we need to get away from that.

835
00:32:53.050 --> 00:32:54.790
 And I don't know how to get away from that

836
00:32:54.790 --> 00:32:57.070
 because you're always gonna have the crazy fundamentalists

837
00:32:57.070 --> 00:32:59.590
 that are, that somehow rise in the power.

838
00:33:00.290 --> 00:33:03.150
 Well, the problem is we let Islamic fundamentalism

839
00:33:03.150 --> 00:33:05.310
 in general, and I'm not saying us

840
00:33:05.310 --> 00:33:06.570
 as the Americans or the West,

841
00:33:06.910 --> 00:33:08.070
 but even in the Middle East,

842
00:33:08.570 --> 00:33:09.930
 they rose to power and once they had it,

843
00:33:09.930 --> 00:33:12.610
 they kept it by disarming people,

844
00:33:14.290 --> 00:33:16.370
 by creating these terrorist groups or funding them.

845
00:33:16.850 --> 00:33:18.490
 And I think if we're honest,

846
00:33:18.630 --> 00:33:20.910
 I don't think these people actually believe

847
00:33:20.910 --> 00:33:22.390
 in actual real Islam.

848
00:33:22.930 --> 00:33:24.450
 I mean, they've cherry picked,

849
00:33:24.450 --> 00:33:26.150
 they've cherry picked it apart

850
00:33:26.150 --> 00:33:29.010
 and molded it into the doctrine that they use

851
00:33:29.010 --> 00:33:30.670
 to manipulate and control people, period.

852
00:33:30.670 --> 00:33:32.250
 Yeah, and we have to, and we have to.

853
00:33:32.270 --> 00:33:33.950
 And that's where I was trying to get to duopoly

854
00:33:33.950 --> 00:33:36.570
 in between the two factions of,

855
00:33:36.570 --> 00:33:39.130
 I wanna say factions because everybody's going like,

856
00:33:39.150 --> 00:33:42.830
 oh, this is between evil and-

857
00:33:42.830 --> 00:33:43.710
 Yeah, good and evil.

858
00:33:43.710 --> 00:33:46.250
 Good and evil, it's the superhero fight.

859
00:33:46.650 --> 00:33:48.350
 But there's so much nuance in gray area there

860
00:33:48.350 --> 00:33:49.890
 that people don't wanna address.

861
00:33:49.990 --> 00:33:51.810
 I guess it's just easier to go,

862
00:33:52.690 --> 00:33:54.970
 bad, good, fight, whatever.

863
00:33:56.790 --> 00:33:59.450
 So example I used last time was also this.

864
00:33:59.670 --> 00:34:00.630
 It's like, I told Zalala,

865
00:34:00.850 --> 00:34:04.430
 look, this isn't the West or America saying Muslims bad

866
00:34:04.430 --> 00:34:05.790
 or we hate Muslims.

867
00:34:06.170 --> 00:34:10.050
 And I'm tired of people taking it that way

868
00:34:10.050 --> 00:34:11.250
 or trying to push that messaging,

869
00:34:11.370 --> 00:34:12.670
 even from her side, by the way.

870
00:34:13.030 --> 00:34:14.650
 That's not the message that's trying to be driven.

871
00:34:14.750 --> 00:34:17.489
 The message is we understand they're good people.

872
00:34:17.690 --> 00:34:19.050
 We understand people are born into things

873
00:34:19.050 --> 00:34:20.250
 that they have no control of.

874
00:34:20.250 --> 00:34:21.790
 Like if you're born into that area,

875
00:34:21.929 --> 00:34:23.110
 you're gonna be a Muslim, period.

876
00:34:23.750 --> 00:34:25.429
 But in the modern age,

877
00:34:25.630 --> 00:34:27.310
 there's only so much you can control

878
00:34:27.310 --> 00:34:28.030
 in terms of messaging.

879
00:34:28.170 --> 00:34:28.630
 We know this.

880
00:34:28.969 --> 00:34:30.690
 Things get into Iran, into areas

881
00:34:30.690 --> 00:34:33.670
 because the internet is, it's too big.

882
00:34:33.730 --> 00:34:35.150
 Social media is too big.

883
00:34:35.870 --> 00:34:37.330
 Eventually, they're gonna be introduced

884
00:34:37.330 --> 00:34:38.889
 to these other ideas and start to question things.

885
00:34:38.929 --> 00:34:40.370
 It doesn't mean that they themselves

886
00:34:40.370 --> 00:34:41.969
 are not gonna practice Islam,

887
00:34:42.190 --> 00:34:43.290
 but they're gonna understand

888
00:34:43.290 --> 00:34:44.370
 that we live in a modern world.

889
00:34:44.429 --> 00:34:47.190
 And my example was, well, let's look at the Bible.

890
00:34:47.989 --> 00:34:50.810
 If we look at the Old Testament, it was very brutal.

891
00:34:51.630 --> 00:34:53.770
 If we practiced Christianity

892
00:34:53.770 --> 00:34:57.030
 by the literal Old Testament ways of living,

893
00:34:57.390 --> 00:34:58.970
 we'd be in a very different world right now.

894
00:34:58.970 --> 00:35:01.190
 We'd probably look closer to what Iran was.

895
00:35:01.390 --> 00:35:01.670
 Maybe.

896
00:35:02.670 --> 00:35:03.770
 Maybe, I don't know.

897
00:35:04.090 --> 00:35:07.250
 But we realized, you have to adapt, you move on.

898
00:35:07.290 --> 00:35:09.430
 We can't just stone people.

899
00:35:09.550 --> 00:35:10.830
 We can't cut their hands off.

900
00:35:10.830 --> 00:35:11.310
 We get it.

901
00:35:11.310 --> 00:35:12.490
 There's other ways of dealing with it.

902
00:35:12.490 --> 00:35:13.490
 There's still ways to punish

903
00:35:13.490 --> 00:35:14.570
 and hold people accountable.

904
00:35:15.290 --> 00:35:17.010
 And so that's what I told her.

905
00:35:17.270 --> 00:35:18.650
 It's like, there is the difference.

906
00:35:18.990 --> 00:35:20.970
 And I think people gotta understand that

907
00:35:20.970 --> 00:35:22.310
 because there was a time,

908
00:35:22.430 --> 00:35:24.270
 Christianity, before it was called Christianity,

909
00:35:24.270 --> 00:35:25.030
 was brutal.

910
00:35:25.870 --> 00:35:28.090
 It evolved after Jesus, after the New Testament.

911
00:35:28.150 --> 00:35:30.430
 That's pretty much what I think the modern world

912
00:35:30.430 --> 00:35:33.170
 was based on, was moving forward the New Testament.

913
00:35:33.710 --> 00:35:34.630
 It evolved.

914
00:35:35.110 --> 00:35:36.870
 And yes, it's older than Islam.

915
00:35:37.110 --> 00:35:38.130
 And I can get into all that,

916
00:35:38.150 --> 00:35:40.530
 but let's just let that be for now.

917
00:35:40.750 --> 00:35:44.230
 And I think that we need to understand

918
00:35:44.230 --> 00:35:45.590
 the world needs to understand

919
00:35:45.590 --> 00:35:48.950
 that not all Muslims literally believe

920
00:35:48.950 --> 00:35:51.710
 what is being sensationalized in the media.

921
00:35:52.510 --> 00:35:54.630
 And we can call it sensationalization,

922
00:35:54.630 --> 00:35:55.770
 but at the same time,

923
00:35:55.890 --> 00:35:58.270
 I mean, if every time you see a terrorist group

924
00:35:58.270 --> 00:36:00.290
 claiming their allegiance to Islam and Allah

925
00:36:00.290 --> 00:36:04.710
 and whatever, and they're just committing violent acts

926
00:36:04.710 --> 00:36:06.750
 and cutting people's heads off

927
00:36:06.750 --> 00:36:09.930
 and cutting their hands and feet off and raping women,

928
00:36:10.890 --> 00:36:13.830
 I mean, that's not a good thing.

929
00:36:13.830 --> 00:36:16.110
 And that's why you have people believe in what they believe.

930
00:36:16.310 --> 00:36:18.690
 And then we have the soft invasion of the West.

931
00:36:19.510 --> 00:36:21.670
 And I press Zalal on this too.

932
00:36:21.750 --> 00:36:23.250
 It's like, you can't deny

933
00:36:23.250 --> 00:36:25.930
 that the people are starting to feel the way they are

934
00:36:25.930 --> 00:36:30.430
 because look, if Islam, the way it has been presented,

935
00:36:30.450 --> 00:36:32.410
 not saying everybody who practices,

936
00:36:32.490 --> 00:36:33.670
 but the way it's been presented

937
00:36:33.670 --> 00:36:38.210
 and what we see in extreme Islamic practitioners,

938
00:36:38.830 --> 00:36:41.390
 the way that they practice it basically,

939
00:36:41.390 --> 00:36:45.670
 is that this invasion of the West,

940
00:36:45.690 --> 00:36:47.190
 if they believe that it was so good,

941
00:36:47.210 --> 00:36:48.030
 why are they leaving?

942
00:36:48.130 --> 00:36:50.250
 Why are they infiltrating the UK?

943
00:36:50.430 --> 00:36:53.170
 Why are they wanting to be in the US?

944
00:36:53.350 --> 00:36:56.230
 And the thing is, it's not like they want to integrate.

945
00:36:56.310 --> 00:36:59.270
 Some have, but you have groups that are literally saying,

946
00:36:59.370 --> 00:37:01.250
 we're gonna start our own community,

947
00:37:01.650 --> 00:37:02.770
 we're gonna have our own gates,

948
00:37:02.830 --> 00:37:04.450
 our own police, our own schools,

949
00:37:04.490 --> 00:37:05.210
 we're gonna have our own way.

950
00:37:05.270 --> 00:37:07.370
 No, that's you trying to set up a country

951
00:37:07.370 --> 00:37:08.090
 within a country.

952
00:37:08.370 --> 00:37:09.230
 Let's just call it what it is.

953
00:37:09.230 --> 00:37:10.410
 It's a fucking invasion.

954
00:37:11.550 --> 00:37:13.250
 You're literally telling the country,

955
00:37:13.530 --> 00:37:15.550
 the destination in which you are traveling to

956
00:37:15.550 --> 00:37:18.270
 that we're just here to take over

957
00:37:18.270 --> 00:37:19.930
 because we're gonna do things our way.

958
00:37:19.970 --> 00:37:21.030
 We don't care about your laws.

959
00:37:22.170 --> 00:37:24.290
 Or fine, your laws exist outside our gates.

960
00:37:24.610 --> 00:37:26.110
 No, that's not how the world works.

961
00:37:26.110 --> 00:37:26.850
 That's not how it works.

962
00:37:27.330 --> 00:37:30.790
 And that's a huge difference between what's going on

963
00:37:30.790 --> 00:37:33.930
 with the immigration coming from South America

964
00:37:33.930 --> 00:37:36.490
 and like I said, back in the 60s

965
00:37:36.490 --> 00:37:38.270
 when we were talking about the farm workers and stuff,

966
00:37:38.270 --> 00:37:41.170
 it's like the people from South America,

967
00:37:41.630 --> 00:37:43.350
 Mexican people, Hispanic people,

968
00:37:43.790 --> 00:37:46.890
 even people from China and other places that are coming in

969
00:37:46.890 --> 00:37:49.790
 came here for a fact is that they wanted this freedom.

970
00:37:50.390 --> 00:37:51.850
 They wanted what we have.

971
00:37:52.270 --> 00:37:54.130
 They wanna come here and they wanna work.

972
00:37:54.170 --> 00:37:55.350
 Whether they get here by boat,

973
00:37:55.370 --> 00:37:56.730
 whether they get here by plane,

974
00:37:56.750 --> 00:37:58.510
 whether they get here by crossing the border

975
00:37:58.510 --> 00:38:00.510
 and over the deserts and all that other stuff,

976
00:38:02.050 --> 00:38:03.170
 that's another thing.

977
00:38:05.290 --> 00:38:08.070
 But I wanna talk about immigration policy now

978
00:38:08.070 --> 00:38:11.550
 is that we've had a problem with this forever, forever,

979
00:38:11.550 --> 00:38:11.990
 forever.

980
00:38:12.170 --> 00:38:15.190
 Now, you can have your opinion on whether you think

981
00:38:15.190 --> 00:38:17.310
 that Trump is too hard on the immigrants.

982
00:38:17.470 --> 00:38:19.130
 I happen to think that that way.

983
00:38:19.330 --> 00:38:21.330
 I lean that way that I think that

984
00:38:22.150 --> 00:38:24.030
 this broad brushing of immigration

985
00:38:24.030 --> 00:38:25.790
 has gone a little bit too far.

986
00:38:26.050 --> 00:38:28.970
 I wish that we could kind of pull back the reins

987
00:38:28.970 --> 00:38:30.890
 on it or so, but that's not gonna happen

988
00:38:30.890 --> 00:38:34.890
 for another three years and maybe not even then.

989
00:38:35.650 --> 00:38:37.850
 But the fact of the matter is that we are a nation

990
00:38:37.850 --> 00:38:42.010
 of immigrants, but the cultural in your face

991
00:38:42.010 --> 00:38:43.810
 of what other people wanna come and do,

992
00:38:43.870 --> 00:38:45.410
 like you said about Somalians

993
00:38:45.410 --> 00:38:48.990
 and some other people that wanna come in here

994
00:38:48.990 --> 00:38:52.590
 is just beyond what we thought about being a melting pot.

995
00:38:53.170 --> 00:38:56.890
 So it's like, let's kind of go back to

996
00:38:57.790 --> 00:39:00.050
 like when Ellis Island was around.

997
00:39:00.710 --> 00:39:03.370
 So they would come in, they would go through Ellis Island,

998
00:39:04.550 --> 00:39:07.090
 they would either be quarantined for a while

999
00:39:07.090 --> 00:39:09.850
 and then led into the United States

1000
00:39:09.850 --> 00:39:12.430
 and they would come in and they would have these boroughs.

1001
00:39:12.570 --> 00:39:15.390
 That's where the five boroughs of New York City came in

1002
00:39:15.390 --> 00:39:18.870
 because one was Italian, one was Irish,

1003
00:39:18.930 --> 00:39:21.390
 one was white people, one was this, one was that.

1004
00:39:22.290 --> 00:39:24.070
 And they did kind of set up their own thing.

1005
00:39:24.190 --> 00:39:26.350
 I mean, you got the mafia, you got this and that,

1006
00:39:26.350 --> 00:39:29.210
 that went on, even got the Irish gangs

1007
00:39:29.210 --> 00:39:29.950
 and stuff like that.

1008
00:39:29.970 --> 00:39:33.010
 But still, they're looking at Western values,

1009
00:39:33.150 --> 00:39:34.930
 they're looking at this melting pot of people

1010
00:39:34.930 --> 00:39:37.730
 that actually eventually got together

1011
00:39:37.730 --> 00:39:42.970
 and became a people that had similar values.

1012
00:39:43.770 --> 00:39:45.130
 And that's what's lacking.

1013
00:39:45.290 --> 00:39:46.970
 I think that's what's lacking today

1014
00:39:46.970 --> 00:39:49.410
 in our immigration policies and letting people in

1015
00:39:49.410 --> 00:39:51.110
 and being able to do these things.

1016
00:39:51.510 --> 00:39:53.110
 You've got people down in Texas

1017
00:39:53.110 --> 00:39:55.550
 who are trying to set up these communities

1018
00:39:55.550 --> 00:39:56.950
 that they don't want anybody in.

1019
00:39:57.210 --> 00:39:59.670
 You got places in Minneapolis where you can't go,

1020
00:39:59.750 --> 00:40:01.090
 a white person can't go.

1021
00:40:01.090 --> 00:40:05.230
 And the law, actually the law of Minneapolis

1022
00:40:05.230 --> 00:40:07.990
 will not let them, they say you need to get out of here,

1023
00:40:08.030 --> 00:40:08.950
 this is not your place.

1024
00:40:09.390 --> 00:40:11.250
 Bullshit, are you kidding me?

1025
00:40:11.610 --> 00:40:15.730
 Well, okay, so let's compare and contrast.

1026
00:40:17.350 --> 00:40:18.770
 What happened with the immigrants,

1027
00:40:19.690 --> 00:40:22.550
 when we're talking about the period with Ellis Island

1028
00:40:22.550 --> 00:40:25.510
 and the influx of immigrants, one of the probably,

1029
00:40:25.890 --> 00:40:27.370
 I mean, not anymore after Biden,

1030
00:40:27.370 --> 00:40:31.030
 but it was one of the largest periods of immigration

1031
00:40:31.030 --> 00:40:33.510
 into the United States, but it was very much controlled.

1032
00:40:35.010 --> 00:40:37.930
 Now, let's just be honest about something.

1033
00:40:39.070 --> 00:40:41.430
 I don't have a problem, and I don't think you do,

1034
00:40:41.530 --> 00:40:43.770
 about people having communities.

1035
00:40:44.230 --> 00:40:47.790
 But when your community is closing out the nation

1036
00:40:47.790 --> 00:40:52.230
 in which you were choosing to set up your home,

1037
00:40:52.730 --> 00:40:55.450
 your family, and the rest of your life,

1038
00:40:55.450 --> 00:40:58.130
 and you're just putting a big middle finger up

1039
00:40:58.130 --> 00:41:00.290
 into the air and saying, fuck America,

1040
00:41:00.510 --> 00:41:03.070
 because we're just gonna take what we had here,

1041
00:41:03.730 --> 00:41:06.430
 and we're just gonna do it on your land,

1042
00:41:07.010 --> 00:41:08.590
 that's basically all you're doing is admitting

1043
00:41:08.590 --> 00:41:11.550
 you're just here for economic reasons, that's it.

1044
00:41:11.890 --> 00:41:14.370
 And that's the problem that I see right now,

1045
00:41:15.130 --> 00:41:17.530
 is that America or the USA has been treated

1046
00:41:17.530 --> 00:41:21.230
 more like an economic zone than a land of opportunity

1047
00:41:21.230 --> 00:41:23.270
 based on our constitution, our laws,

1048
00:41:23.270 --> 00:41:25.330
 and whatever the USA can offer you.

1049
00:41:25.630 --> 00:41:27.670
 People just see it as an economic zone, period.

1050
00:41:27.970 --> 00:41:30.410
 And that's not what we are, we're not an economic zone.

1051
00:41:31.450 --> 00:41:34.630
 When we're talking about Latin America, Mexico,

1052
00:41:35.310 --> 00:41:37.630
 most of those people coming here are for economic reasons.

1053
00:41:37.830 --> 00:41:40.310
 Look, Mexico is a conundrum to me

1054
00:41:40.310 --> 00:41:42.630
 because it's like they have a beautiful capital.

1055
00:41:42.810 --> 00:41:45.450
 Mexico City is so modern, so clean, beautiful.

1056
00:41:45.910 --> 00:41:47.990
 And then you start getting away from these cities,

1057
00:41:48.330 --> 00:41:52.730
 and it's like Mexico is a majority impoverished nation,

1058
00:41:52.730 --> 00:41:53.530
 period.

1059
00:41:54.150 --> 00:41:55.830
 You know, most of these people are making

1060
00:41:56.690 --> 00:42:00.230
 less than $10 a day to live.

1061
00:42:01.090 --> 00:42:02.450
 So where are you gonna go?

1062
00:42:02.630 --> 00:42:04.590
 Well, my neighbor in the north offers opportunities,

1063
00:42:04.630 --> 00:42:06.830
 so they're literally risking their lives

1064
00:42:06.830 --> 00:42:09.030
 just to make money to survive.

1065
00:42:09.650 --> 00:42:12.030
 I mean, you've got people who have to pay medical bills,

1066
00:42:12.630 --> 00:42:14.950
 they're just tired of being oppressed

1067
00:42:14.950 --> 00:42:16.910
 and controlled by the cartels in the area.

1068
00:42:17.350 --> 00:42:20.370
 And you know, I always put it on the Mexican government.

1069
00:42:20.450 --> 00:42:22.430
 I get pushback, I get a lot of comments from people,

1070
00:42:22.430 --> 00:42:24.010
 but look, just because you're from Mexico

1071
00:42:24.010 --> 00:42:26.830
 doesn't mean you have to ignore the fucking reality, period.

1072
00:42:27.230 --> 00:42:28.910
 Doesn't mean that what I'm saying is racist.

1073
00:42:29.050 --> 00:42:29.910
 No, it's the truth.

1074
00:42:30.550 --> 00:42:33.270
 Your government has been complicit

1075
00:42:33.270 --> 00:42:35.290
 and they have done nothing to stamp out

1076
00:42:35.290 --> 00:42:37.270
 the power and control of the cartels.

1077
00:42:37.510 --> 00:42:39.030
 It's been going on since the late 70s.

1078
00:42:39.090 --> 00:42:41.050
 This has been a long time.

1079
00:42:41.170 --> 00:42:42.970
 Yep, and the US hasn't helped either, yeah.

1080
00:42:43.110 --> 00:42:44.370
 No, well, hold on.

1081
00:42:44.930 --> 00:42:46.110
 I was just gonna go there

1082
00:42:46.110 --> 00:42:47.890
 because a lot of people want to point the finger

1083
00:42:47.890 --> 00:42:50.230
 at the US, but what are the issues

1084
00:42:50.230 --> 00:42:52.290
 that they say about the US and not helping?

1085
00:42:52.790 --> 00:42:55.730
 They say, oh, well, the US is the number one drug market,

1086
00:42:55.750 --> 00:42:58.750
 so it's your fault because all you guys do is consume drugs.

1087
00:42:58.930 --> 00:43:00.510
 Oh, well, all the guns come from America,

1088
00:43:00.570 --> 00:43:02.630
 so that's the other reason that the cartels are armed.

1089
00:43:02.630 --> 00:43:03.770
 No, this is all bullshit.

1090
00:43:05.670 --> 00:43:08.050
 Okay, before the opioid epidemic

1091
00:43:08.050 --> 00:43:10.470
 by legal pharmaceutical companies,

1092
00:43:11.210 --> 00:43:14.830
 we didn't have this epidemic of drug abuse that we see.

1093
00:43:15.550 --> 00:43:18.670
 Okay, people got hooked on medications

1094
00:43:18.670 --> 00:43:21.470
 that were prescribed by their doctors.

1095
00:43:21.990 --> 00:43:23.590
 Opioids got people hooked,

1096
00:43:24.030 --> 00:43:26.170
 and then when they started regulating it,

1097
00:43:26.170 --> 00:43:27.510
 they were looking for other highs.

1098
00:43:27.990 --> 00:43:29.550
 When did cocaine come into the country?

1099
00:43:29.610 --> 00:43:30.310
 It was always around,

1100
00:43:30.310 --> 00:43:31.770
 but it was really pushed in the late 70s

1101
00:43:31.770 --> 00:43:33.410
 and the early 80s.

1102
00:43:33.530 --> 00:43:36.330
 Okay, it wasn't around since 1700.

1103
00:43:37.550 --> 00:43:40.070
 It's like, no, let's just be honest about these things.

1104
00:43:40.110 --> 00:43:41.970
 These markets were created,

1105
00:43:42.790 --> 00:43:44.330
 and they were introduced,

1106
00:43:44.350 --> 00:43:46.870
 and then once the cartels figured out,

1107
00:43:46.870 --> 00:43:48.410
 while these Americans really liked this stuff,

1108
00:43:49.390 --> 00:43:51.450
 they did what any other businessman would do.

1109
00:43:51.450 --> 00:43:53.730
 They'd go, I want to control and expand this market.

1110
00:43:53.810 --> 00:43:55.610
 We're going to make the product even more addicting,

1111
00:43:55.770 --> 00:43:57.210
 and we're going to keep pushing it.

1112
00:43:57.470 --> 00:43:58.630
 So it's not always the U.S.

1113
00:43:58.970 --> 00:44:00.010
 Find the need, fill the need.

1114
00:44:00.190 --> 00:44:02.610
 So the thing they ignore is,

1115
00:44:02.630 --> 00:44:04.490
 well, it's the U.S.'s fault.

1116
00:44:04.570 --> 00:44:05.250
 Same thing with the guns.

1117
00:44:05.350 --> 00:44:06.610
 Yeah, sure, Obama fucked up

1118
00:44:06.610 --> 00:44:07.830
 with the Fast and Furious thing.

1119
00:44:08.070 --> 00:44:09.390
 I don't know what he was thinking with that.

1120
00:44:09.510 --> 00:44:10.730
 Like, oh, we'll be able to trace the web.

1121
00:44:10.910 --> 00:44:11.270
 How?

1122
00:44:11.430 --> 00:44:12.750
 Once it gets past that border,

1123
00:44:12.750 --> 00:44:14.530
 how are you really going to have control of that?

1124
00:44:14.970 --> 00:44:18.270
 But they also ignore the straw purchases here in the U.S.

1125
00:44:18.370 --> 00:44:19.690
 where the cartels, you know,

1126
00:44:19.730 --> 00:44:22.450
 they do control the American gangs.

1127
00:44:22.770 --> 00:44:24.150
 A lot of people don't want to say that,

1128
00:44:24.150 --> 00:44:25.470
 but look, if a cartel member

1129
00:44:25.470 --> 00:44:28.230
 comes to an American gang here,

1130
00:44:28.930 --> 00:44:31.390
 American Latin gang, and they say, you're doing this,

1131
00:44:31.490 --> 00:44:33.310
 you think that gang's going to say, no, cartel,

1132
00:44:33.390 --> 00:44:34.610
 you're in Mexico, you have no control?

1133
00:44:34.670 --> 00:44:35.010
 Fuck no.

1134
00:44:35.030 --> 00:44:36.410
 They're going to be like, yes, sir.

1135
00:44:36.890 --> 00:44:40.130
 And so they're using friends and family

1136
00:44:40.130 --> 00:44:42.910
 with clean records to go out and buy these weapons.

1137
00:44:42.910 --> 00:44:45.370
 And then they get smuggled back into Mexico.

1138
00:44:46.130 --> 00:44:47.150
 Some of it comes from Canada.

1139
00:44:47.750 --> 00:44:49.510
 Now, going back to drugs, Bruce, you know,

1140
00:44:49.610 --> 00:44:52.390
 let's keep blaming the U.S., but let's not also say,

1141
00:44:52.990 --> 00:44:55.470
 well, why is it that the cartels are trying to enter

1142
00:44:55.470 --> 00:44:56.930
 the European and Asian markets with drugs?

1143
00:44:57.090 --> 00:44:59.590
 We have 300 tons of cocaine annually

1144
00:44:59.590 --> 00:45:01.950
 that is seized by the Europeans

1145
00:45:01.950 --> 00:45:04.610
 that just come from the fucking Mexican cartels.

1146
00:45:04.610 --> 00:45:05.930
 And if we're talking about Venezuela,

1147
00:45:06.030 --> 00:45:08.470
 we had 250 metric tons of cocaine

1148
00:45:08.470 --> 00:45:12.010
 that was shipped out of Venezuela,

1149
00:45:12.010 --> 00:45:14.350
 under Venezuelan control while Maduro was there,

1150
00:45:14.450 --> 00:45:16.730
 protected by his government and his military

1151
00:45:16.730 --> 00:45:18.650
 that went to Asia.

1152
00:45:19.070 --> 00:45:20.790
 Asia is the second biggest market right now

1153
00:45:20.790 --> 00:45:23.110
 where their cocaine is worth twice the price

1154
00:45:23.110 --> 00:45:24.750
 of what it is in America.

1155
00:45:25.210 --> 00:45:26.490
 It's a global issue.

1156
00:45:26.730 --> 00:45:27.590
 It's a global issue.

1157
00:45:27.890 --> 00:45:30.490
 So this finger pointing between America and Mexico

1158
00:45:30.490 --> 00:45:32.450
 is stupid to me because like we're neighbors,

1159
00:45:32.450 --> 00:45:33.730
 we should be working together.

1160
00:45:35.330 --> 00:45:36.750
 Like, why are we fighting?

1161
00:45:36.910 --> 00:45:39.130
 Why are we blaming the Americans?

1162
00:45:39.210 --> 00:45:40.650
 And why are we blaming the Mexicans?

1163
00:45:40.650 --> 00:45:43.330
 No, it's the people didn't do this.

1164
00:45:43.530 --> 00:45:45.830
 It was the inaction of our governments

1165
00:45:45.830 --> 00:45:47.770
 and complicitness of our governments

1166
00:45:47.770 --> 00:45:49.370
 and the inability for us to come together

1167
00:45:49.370 --> 00:45:51.330
 and work together that got the cartels

1168
00:45:51.330 --> 00:45:53.310
 to the point of where they're at.

1169
00:45:53.750 --> 00:45:57.470
 So I would say it's both the US and Mexico's fault.

1170
00:45:58.810 --> 00:46:01.670
 And circling back to the drip, drip, drip theory

1171
00:46:01.670 --> 00:46:02.890
 that we've been talking about

1172
00:46:02.890 --> 00:46:04.390
 is exactly what you're saying.

1173
00:46:04.550 --> 00:46:06.590
 It's like over generation, over generation,

1174
00:46:06.650 --> 00:46:08.250
 over generation, this has happened.

1175
00:46:08.250 --> 00:46:13.110
 I mean, you made a comment about Mexico City

1176
00:46:13.110 --> 00:46:15.010
 being this great, big, beautiful city.

1177
00:46:15.250 --> 00:46:17.030
 We have great, big, beautiful cities here.

1178
00:46:17.170 --> 00:46:19.050
 San Francisco is a great, big, beautiful city.

1179
00:46:19.290 --> 00:46:20.490
 No matter what you think about it,

1180
00:46:20.750 --> 00:46:21.630
 it's a beautiful city.

1181
00:46:21.750 --> 00:46:22.890
 Yeah, architecture is awesome.

1182
00:46:23.110 --> 00:46:24.430
 Beautiful city, it's freaking awesome.

1183
00:46:24.890 --> 00:46:27.450
 Any kind of metro city is beautiful here

1184
00:46:27.450 --> 00:46:29.830
 but as we pan out in America,

1185
00:46:30.370 --> 00:46:32.770
 when you go out to Gilroy, Salinas,

1186
00:46:33.210 --> 00:46:36.850
 go out to Sacramento, Modesto and stuff like that,

1187
00:46:36.850 --> 00:46:38.970
 still beautiful, still modern, still this,

1188
00:46:39.870 --> 00:46:43.190
 still everything is technologically connected

1189
00:46:43.190 --> 00:46:45.370
 to the cities and everything else.

1190
00:46:45.430 --> 00:46:49.710
 The wealth is, the economies are and all that stuff.

1191
00:46:49.830 --> 00:46:51.490
 And you don't find that in Mexico.

1192
00:46:51.710 --> 00:46:55.870
 You got Mexico City, you got the coastal towns

1193
00:46:55.870 --> 00:46:59.150
 that are all turfs and stuff like that.

1194
00:46:59.150 --> 00:47:00.610
 But you pull back from there

1195
00:47:00.610 --> 00:47:01.730
 and then you hit the ghettos.

1196
00:47:02.370 --> 00:47:04.450
 You have the problems,

1197
00:47:04.450 --> 00:47:07.610
 you have the cities or towns

1198
00:47:07.610 --> 00:47:09.930
 that just don't get any type of that support

1199
00:47:09.930 --> 00:47:13.130
 but they find their support within those cities.

1200
00:47:13.190 --> 00:47:15.730
 So I mean, it's really, really a far cry

1201
00:47:15.730 --> 00:47:17.810
 from what we're used to

1202
00:47:17.810 --> 00:47:20.670
 because we're used to go outside of the city,

1203
00:47:20.790 --> 00:47:23.890
 you hit the suburbs and everything is just hunky dory

1204
00:47:23.890 --> 00:47:25.310
 and we just go along with light.

1205
00:47:25.510 --> 00:47:28.490
 I mean, the difference is that if you pull back here,

1206
00:47:28.490 --> 00:47:31.930
 at least we still have power, water and methods

1207
00:47:31.930 --> 00:47:34.570
 as a means to run an actual small town or city.

1208
00:47:34.690 --> 00:47:36.050
 I mean, we may not like them.

1209
00:47:36.050 --> 00:47:38.070
 Sure, there's pockets of poverty

1210
00:47:38.770 --> 00:47:42.430
 but what you see with Mexico is you have a concentration

1211
00:47:42.430 --> 00:47:44.910
 of wealth within a small area considerably

1212
00:47:44.910 --> 00:47:47.010
 in relation to the size of Mexico.

1213
00:47:47.250 --> 00:47:48.370
 When you start pulling back,

1214
00:47:48.550 --> 00:47:52.490
 you have people piecing their houses together.

1215
00:47:52.770 --> 00:47:56.750
 You have tents, you have people looking for work

1216
00:47:57.470 --> 00:47:58.770
 that they can't find.

1217
00:47:58.770 --> 00:48:02.010
 Again, living for $10 or less a day

1218
00:48:02.670 --> 00:48:06.990
 and it's like, well, where is the help for those people?

1219
00:48:07.450 --> 00:48:08.150
 And I'm not saying they don't.

1220
00:48:08.150 --> 00:48:09.710
 I mean, we look at Mexico

1221
00:48:09.710 --> 00:48:11.770
 and we look at this great big country

1222
00:48:11.770 --> 00:48:13.630
 and we're going like, it's a beautiful country.

1223
00:48:13.890 --> 00:48:15.410
 I've seen, I've got friends of mine

1224
00:48:15.410 --> 00:48:18.050
 who live in the interior of Mexico

1225
00:48:18.050 --> 00:48:19.450
 where there's no cities and stuff.

1226
00:48:19.650 --> 00:48:21.490
 It's a beautiful country.

1227
00:48:21.810 --> 00:48:25.210
 It has fantastic and just immense resources.

1228
00:48:25.350 --> 00:48:26.430
 Just like the United States,

1229
00:48:26.650 --> 00:48:27.670
 people think it's just all,

1230
00:48:28.050 --> 00:48:30.830
 they think of the spaghetti westerns and all that

1231
00:48:30.830 --> 00:48:35.150
 and everything is desert and bandoleros and so on.

1232
00:48:35.290 --> 00:48:36.550
 It's not like that.

1233
00:48:36.570 --> 00:48:38.010
 It's mountains and it's streams

1234
00:48:38.010 --> 00:48:39.450
 and it's this and it's that.

1235
00:48:39.650 --> 00:48:40.810
 It's a beautiful country.

1236
00:48:41.090 --> 00:48:43.330
 I think it's important for people

1237
00:48:44.070 --> 00:48:46.910
 to hold onto their rage and realize

1238
00:48:46.910 --> 00:48:49.450
 that just because someone's being critical

1239
00:48:49.450 --> 00:48:53.770
 doesn't mean we're basically spewing hate

1240
00:48:53.770 --> 00:48:56.330
 and vitriol towards you or your nation.

1241
00:48:56.790 --> 00:48:59.450
 I mean, when your own people living there,

1242
00:48:59.910 --> 00:49:01.750
 when they finally come out and go, you know what?

1243
00:49:01.790 --> 00:49:03.590
 You're kind of right and this is how it is.

1244
00:49:03.590 --> 00:49:04.170
 And that happens.

1245
00:49:04.270 --> 00:49:06.150
 I've had people come out and say,

1246
00:49:06.190 --> 00:49:09.250
 you know, yeah, this is how it is.

1247
00:49:09.450 --> 00:49:11.210
 And they want the change you're looking for.

1248
00:49:11.550 --> 00:49:13.110
 But if we're talking about Mexico and the US,

1249
00:49:13.190 --> 00:49:15.270
 I don't see why Mexico's in the position they are.

1250
00:49:15.550 --> 00:49:16.890
 And people will blame Americans and say,

1251
00:49:16.890 --> 00:49:17.910
 well, it's because of capitalism.

1252
00:49:18.070 --> 00:49:18.550
 And you're taking a bit.

1253
00:49:18.670 --> 00:49:20.550
 Well, look, Mexico has many other countries

1254
00:49:20.550 --> 00:49:22.050
 they can deal with economically.

1255
00:49:23.430 --> 00:49:25.750
 What's stopping them from selling their amazing goods

1256
00:49:25.750 --> 00:49:27.350
 and services to other nations?

1257
00:49:28.050 --> 00:49:28.170
 Absolutely.

1258
00:49:28.310 --> 00:49:30.910
 I mean, Ken, Ken, the cohost on the show says,

1259
00:49:30.910 --> 00:49:32.570
 you know, South America is probably

1260
00:49:32.570 --> 00:49:35.090
 the greatest emerging nation out of everybody

1261
00:49:35.090 --> 00:49:37.910
 because man, the resources that they have down there.

1262
00:49:38.390 --> 00:49:38.890
 Tarks of resources.

1263
00:49:39.450 --> 00:49:42.070
 Yeah, I mean, that's gonna be an economic power.

1264
00:49:42.250 --> 00:49:43.990
 We could be very much, you know,

1265
00:49:44.030 --> 00:49:46.750
 in 25 years left behind because South America

1266
00:49:46.750 --> 00:49:49.030
 just is ready to explode that way.

1267
00:49:49.550 --> 00:49:49.770
 I don't know.

1268
00:49:49.770 --> 00:49:51.530
 I just think we should support each other more

1269
00:49:52.190 --> 00:49:53.250
 in this hemisphere.

1270
00:49:53.350 --> 00:49:55.210
 And again, I'm gonna go back to like,

1271
00:49:55.210 --> 00:49:57.770
 why was there the coalition of the Americas

1272
00:49:57.770 --> 00:50:00.950
 where we had, you know, all these Latin American nations

1273
00:50:00.950 --> 00:50:04.330
 willing to sign and come to an agreement with America

1274
00:50:04.330 --> 00:50:06.630
 to literally, for the purpose,

1275
00:50:06.870 --> 00:50:09.430
 root out drug cartels and the control of cartels.

1276
00:50:09.450 --> 00:50:11.310
 And yet Mexico didn't.

1277
00:50:11.990 --> 00:50:12.570
 Yep, yep.

1278
00:50:12.770 --> 00:50:13.210
 Why?

1279
00:50:13.690 --> 00:50:14.130
 Yep.

1280
00:50:14.430 --> 00:50:15.250
 I don't get it.

1281
00:50:15.450 --> 00:50:17.090
 So again, we're not gonna bash Mexico.

1282
00:50:17.450 --> 00:50:18.030
 It's just-

1283
00:50:18.030 --> 00:50:18.970
 No, I don't wanna bash Mexico.

1284
00:50:19.130 --> 00:50:20.910
 And I didn't intend to bash Mexico because I-

1285
00:50:20.910 --> 00:50:21.550
 No, you're not.

1286
00:50:21.770 --> 00:50:22.570
 Maybe I am.

1287
00:50:22.710 --> 00:50:24.610
 I'm just saying, I don't wanna bash Mexico.

1288
00:50:24.610 --> 00:50:27.570
 I'm just bringing up points based on interviews I've had,

1289
00:50:27.730 --> 00:50:28.910
 people I've talked to, people I know.

1290
00:50:29.350 --> 00:50:31.010
 I mean, my friends who have family in Mexico,

1291
00:50:31.050 --> 00:50:32.390
 like I get info just like you do.

1292
00:50:32.550 --> 00:50:34.590
 It's like, this isn't a closed off world.

1293
00:50:35.010 --> 00:50:36.430
 And it goes back to what we were talking about

1294
00:50:36.430 --> 00:50:36.830
 with Iran.

1295
00:50:36.890 --> 00:50:38.950
 As much as they wanna try to close their people off

1296
00:50:38.950 --> 00:50:41.490
 from the world, in the modern era,

1297
00:50:41.490 --> 00:50:43.530
 it is too hard to do, you know?

1298
00:50:43.730 --> 00:50:45.770
 So it's like, let's stop ignoring the truth

1299
00:50:45.770 --> 00:50:47.990
 and have real conversations just like we're having.

1300
00:50:48.290 --> 00:50:50.830
 That's what we need to do and realize that,

1301
00:50:51.090 --> 00:50:52.490
 look, the narratives aren't gonna work anymore.

1302
00:50:52.810 --> 00:50:54.210
 You know, people are getting smarter

1303
00:50:54.210 --> 00:50:56.290
 or they have more access to information anyway.

1304
00:50:56.730 --> 00:50:58.310
 Eventually, they're gonna come across the truth.

1305
00:50:58.950 --> 00:51:01.810
 Right, and you've got a good insight on that.

1306
00:51:01.830 --> 00:51:06.110
 With the information age and everybody having access

1307
00:51:06.110 --> 00:51:08.670
 to this, and I don't care what your social

1308
00:51:08.670 --> 00:51:11.130
 and economic status is, you have a cell phone.

1309
00:51:11.410 --> 00:51:13.530
 I mean, there's very few places in the world

1310
00:51:13.530 --> 00:51:17.130
 that don't have access to the internet and cell phones

1311
00:51:17.130 --> 00:51:19.570
 and this media that we've got going forward.

1312
00:51:19.690 --> 00:51:22.030
 Now, they might have access to different media

1313
00:51:22.030 --> 00:51:22.850
 and stuff like that.

1314
00:51:22.850 --> 00:51:25.510
 It's gonna steer their way this way or that way,

1315
00:51:25.690 --> 00:51:27.450
 but for the most part, if you're smart enough,

1316
00:51:27.470 --> 00:51:30.390
 you can get past that and get to where you need to be.

1317
00:51:31.490 --> 00:51:34.910
 With that in mind, I don't know which way,

1318
00:51:35.710 --> 00:51:36.970
 and I'm not worried about it.

1319
00:51:37.070 --> 00:51:38.390
 I'm 66 years old.

1320
00:51:38.430 --> 00:51:40.630
 What have I got, another 15, 20 years on this earth?

1321
00:51:41.050 --> 00:51:41.530
 You know?

1322
00:51:41.890 --> 00:51:42.850
 Damn, morbid Bruce.

1323
00:51:43.450 --> 00:51:45.250
 But for younger- Black-pilled morbid Bruce.

1324
00:51:46.390 --> 00:51:48.970
 But for younger people, I mean, that are gonna be,

1325
00:51:49.530 --> 00:51:52.790
 that have more years than I do on this earth.

1326
00:51:53.830 --> 00:51:55.170
 Where do you think that's going with them?

1327
00:51:55.330 --> 00:51:57.950
 Are we looking at it as more of a one world,

1328
00:51:57.950 --> 00:51:58.670
 one government?

1329
00:51:58.810 --> 00:51:59.830
 Are you worried about that?

1330
00:51:59.850 --> 00:52:01.730
 Or do you think that we're still gonna be

1331
00:52:01.730 --> 00:52:03.830
 independent nations going forward?

1332
00:52:04.110 --> 00:52:04.730
 What do you think?

1333
00:52:04.870 --> 00:52:09.330
 The only thing I worry about with that direction

1334
00:52:09.330 --> 00:52:12.970
 is the lack of uniqueness and the abolishment

1335
00:52:12.970 --> 00:52:13.730
 of culture.

1336
00:52:14.630 --> 00:52:16.210
 That's the problem that I see,

1337
00:52:16.210 --> 00:52:17.890
 and that's what we see now.

1338
00:52:17.890 --> 00:52:20.430
 Like we were just talking about the three generations

1339
00:52:20.430 --> 00:52:24.750
 removed in the USA and how everything is going

1340
00:52:24.750 --> 00:52:29.230
 towards open borders, no culture,

1341
00:52:29.770 --> 00:52:32.710
 or the accusation of anybody in America

1342
00:52:32.710 --> 00:52:35.090
 that is why it steals everybody else's culture.

1343
00:52:35.870 --> 00:52:40.490
 And it's like, no, there are differences.

1344
00:52:41.190 --> 00:52:43.110
 America absolutely does have a culture.

1345
00:52:44.330 --> 00:52:49.150
 And if we keep moving towards this agenda,

1346
00:52:49.530 --> 00:52:52.190
 it's being pushed by the WEF, for example,

1347
00:52:53.390 --> 00:52:55.350
 we're not gonna have any uniqueness anymore.

1348
00:52:55.470 --> 00:52:56.430
 It's just gonna be like,

1349
00:52:56.510 --> 00:52:58.030
 we're gonna look like a giant,

1350
00:52:58.750 --> 00:52:59.870
 look what we see in America.

1351
00:52:59.990 --> 00:53:01.050
 Like we go from city to city.

1352
00:53:01.450 --> 00:53:04.010
 We're even losing that uniqueness with our small towns.

1353
00:53:04.410 --> 00:53:07.250
 It's like, you're just gonna see it all be

1354
00:53:07.250 --> 00:53:09.810
 Best Buy's, Home Depot's, and McDonald's everywhere.

1355
00:53:10.390 --> 00:53:11.810
 Everyone's gonna be wearing the same clothes.

1356
00:53:11.830 --> 00:53:12.930
 They're gonna have the same talk.

1357
00:53:12.930 --> 00:53:15.450
 It's gonna be a very boring, stale world

1358
00:53:15.450 --> 00:53:18.250
 if we can't hold onto our cultures

1359
00:53:18.250 --> 00:53:19.830
 and what makes everything unique.

1360
00:53:20.130 --> 00:53:22.410
 And it's not like we should be fighting against each other.

1361
00:53:22.510 --> 00:53:23.610
 Like my culture is better than yours.

1362
00:53:23.650 --> 00:53:24.390
 You're white, I'm brown.

1363
00:53:24.470 --> 00:53:25.410
 No, fuck all that.

1364
00:53:25.710 --> 00:53:28.250
 We should be able to enjoy what we have to offer.

1365
00:53:28.570 --> 00:53:31.410
 And if it gets melded together at some point,

1366
00:53:31.430 --> 00:53:32.270
 just like it did in America,

1367
00:53:32.410 --> 00:53:33.770
 like we could say Italian food from Italy

1368
00:53:33.770 --> 00:53:35.830
 is not the Italian food in America.

1369
00:53:35.870 --> 00:53:36.730
 Well, of course it's not

1370
00:53:36.730 --> 00:53:38.090
 because those immigrants had to work

1371
00:53:38.090 --> 00:53:39.210
 with what they had here.

1372
00:53:39.550 --> 00:53:41.650
 And they did a great job at making,

1373
00:53:41.650 --> 00:53:43.290
 it's called American town food, I don't care.

1374
00:53:43.410 --> 00:53:44.750
 It's delicious, I like it, whatever.

1375
00:53:46.110 --> 00:53:47.970
 Same thing with Mexican food and Mexican culture.

1376
00:53:48.070 --> 00:53:49.530
 Some of the music, I can't understand it,

1377
00:53:49.530 --> 00:53:50.710
 but you can't deny it.

1378
00:53:50.730 --> 00:53:52.490
 It doesn't have some beat and rhythm to it, right?

1379
00:53:52.970 --> 00:53:54.390
 When you get going, you see a bunch of people dancing.

1380
00:53:54.430 --> 00:53:54.870
 You're kind of like,

1381
00:53:54.950 --> 00:53:56.370
 I'm cool, I got a few tequilas in, let's go.

1382
00:53:56.770 --> 00:53:59.650
 And then the food, who could deny the food?

1383
00:53:59.690 --> 00:54:00.510
 Let's just be honest.

1384
00:54:00.810 --> 00:54:03.910
 But the problem is is that every business

1385
00:54:03.910 --> 00:54:07.030
 that shuts down here in California becomes a tapiria.

1386
00:54:07.310 --> 00:54:08.890
 Yeah, I know that, yeah.

1387
00:54:09.570 --> 00:54:10.970
 But see, there's the other danger.

1388
00:54:10.970 --> 00:54:13.610
 It's like, this goes back to what we were talking about

1389
00:54:13.610 --> 00:54:15.530
 with the open borders and America being viewed

1390
00:54:15.530 --> 00:54:16.670
 as an economic zone.

1391
00:54:17.130 --> 00:54:18.850
 Do we want America to become Mexico?

1392
00:54:18.910 --> 00:54:22.610
 Do we want America to become the Middle East?

1393
00:54:22.950 --> 00:54:24.650
 Because that seems to be where it's heading.

1394
00:54:25.650 --> 00:54:28.010
 You know, and it's because we've been conditioned

1395
00:54:28.010 --> 00:54:31.090
 to believe that we should feel bad

1396
00:54:31.090 --> 00:54:33.030
 about calling these things out.

1397
00:54:33.730 --> 00:54:35.790
 Like, and especially when it comes to skin color.

1398
00:54:35.910 --> 00:54:37.290
 Oh, you're white, you don't have an opinion.

1399
00:54:37.310 --> 00:54:38.390
 You're an oppressor.

1400
00:54:38.530 --> 00:54:40.470
 You're the reason the world is wrong.

1401
00:54:40.970 --> 00:54:43.750
 Like, no, I don't know how many white people

1402
00:54:43.750 --> 00:54:46.690
 are trying to invade the Middle East right now

1403
00:54:46.690 --> 00:54:48.430
 to set up shop and raise their families.

1404
00:54:48.430 --> 00:54:49.090
 I'm sorry.

1405
00:54:49.670 --> 00:54:51.810
 You know, it's the other way around.

1406
00:54:52.750 --> 00:54:53.870
 It really is.

1407
00:54:54.450 --> 00:54:56.170
 I can see the argument for like,

1408
00:54:56.210 --> 00:54:56.970
 sure, there's some white people

1409
00:54:56.970 --> 00:54:57.870
 who would love to live in Mexico,

1410
00:54:57.870 --> 00:55:00.330
 but the reason why your tourism is down

1411
00:55:00.330 --> 00:55:01.270
 is because you can't control

1412
00:55:01.270 --> 00:55:02.530
 what's going on with your cartels.

1413
00:55:03.350 --> 00:55:07.910
 And so my fear is we're gonna lose our uniqueness.

1414
00:55:08.110 --> 00:55:09.670
 We're gonna lose our cultures across the world,

1415
00:55:09.670 --> 00:55:10.810
 by the way, and not just say in America.

1416
00:55:10.810 --> 00:55:11.590
 It's gonna happen.

1417
00:55:12.090 --> 00:55:14.130
 It's gonna spread that way.

1418
00:55:15.290 --> 00:55:16.690
 And that we're just gonna become,

1419
00:55:17.870 --> 00:55:19.270
 our history is gonna be wiped away.

1420
00:55:19.590 --> 00:55:20.510
 Like, nothing's gonna exist.

1421
00:55:20.530 --> 00:55:21.970
 It's just gonna be like a big reset,

1422
00:55:21.990 --> 00:55:23.310
 which is exactly what they wanna do.

1423
00:55:23.450 --> 00:55:25.910
 One world government, they wanna reset the world,

1424
00:55:26.650 --> 00:55:29.190
 and they wanna be able, well, let's just be honest.

1425
00:55:29.270 --> 00:55:30.590
 It's easier to control everybody

1426
00:55:30.590 --> 00:55:32.390
 if they're all of the same mindset

1427
00:55:32.390 --> 00:55:33.970
 and all travel in the same direction, right?

1428
00:55:37.030 --> 00:55:40.630
 But I'm still kind of confused on the cultures

1429
00:55:40.630 --> 00:55:42.870
 because we're always gonna have culture.

1430
00:55:42.970 --> 00:55:45.090
 There's always gonna be the Mexican culture.

1431
00:55:45.150 --> 00:55:48.870
 There's always gonna be the Middle East culture.

1432
00:55:48.930 --> 00:55:50.590
 There's always gonna be the UK culture.

1433
00:55:50.650 --> 00:55:53.170
 There's always gonna be the Irish culture,

1434
00:55:53.210 --> 00:55:54.250
 the Italian culture.

1435
00:55:54.450 --> 00:55:59.970
 I mean, I don't know how you get rid of that sliver

1436
00:55:59.970 --> 00:56:01.850
 that's gonna always be in there.

1437
00:56:01.850 --> 00:56:04.890
 Easily, through the soft invasion we're seeing

1438
00:56:05.810 --> 00:56:08.190
 of the mass migration or immigration

1439
00:56:08.190 --> 00:56:10.790
 of Middle Eastern peoples, Muslims,

1440
00:56:11.510 --> 00:56:13.290
 and through open border policies.

1441
00:56:14.810 --> 00:56:15.750
 Let's just be honest.

1442
00:56:15.850 --> 00:56:18.530
 I mean, it just comes down to how many babies

1443
00:56:18.530 --> 00:56:19.410
 are white people having?

1444
00:56:20.610 --> 00:56:22.030
 True, true.

1445
00:56:22.470 --> 00:56:23.510
 They're getting bred out.

1446
00:56:24.070 --> 00:56:26.950
 I mean, when does the,

1447
00:56:26.950 --> 00:56:30.450
 when does the, let me say, the me and yous

1448
00:56:30.450 --> 00:56:34.250
 that think it's abhorrent for somebody

1449
00:56:34.250 --> 00:56:36.230
 to marry an eight-year-old or a 12-year-old

1450
00:56:36.230 --> 00:56:37.810
 or to rape a woman. Three generations.

1451
00:56:37.810 --> 00:56:42.270
 I mean, but I mean, that's what I'm saying.

1452
00:56:42.650 --> 00:56:43.270
 Yeah, I understand.

1453
00:56:43.430 --> 00:56:49.450
 And again, it'll happen once the culture in place

1454
00:56:49.450 --> 00:56:52.050
 is outnumbered by the invading culture.

1455
00:56:52.650 --> 00:56:55.190
 And then, you know, let's also look at media.

1456
00:56:56.530 --> 00:56:58.950
 How long has it been in movies and TV shows

1457
00:56:58.950 --> 00:57:02.250
 where it's all about mixing races

1458
00:57:03.050 --> 00:57:06.710
 and mixing cultures like, you know,

1459
00:57:06.710 --> 00:57:08.310
 brown person marries white girl,

1460
00:57:08.390 --> 00:57:09.650
 white girl marries black guy.

1461
00:57:09.670 --> 00:57:10.970
 And I don't care about that, by the way.

1462
00:57:11.010 --> 00:57:13.990
 I'm just bringing it up as an example

1463
00:57:13.990 --> 00:57:17.730
 of subtle messaging that over time conditions you.

1464
00:57:18.350 --> 00:57:19.510
 I don't have anything against that, Bruce.

1465
00:57:19.690 --> 00:57:21.250
 So I just want to throw that out there.

1466
00:57:21.610 --> 00:57:26.810
 But it is one of the subtleties in messaging

1467
00:57:26.810 --> 00:57:28.970
 that has been pushed in America

1468
00:57:28.970 --> 00:57:30.450
 and the world for a long time.

1469
00:57:31.210 --> 00:57:33.130
 The problem is, is you only really see

1470
00:57:33.130 --> 00:57:35.410
 that acceptance in Western nations.

1471
00:57:36.530 --> 00:57:38.870
 You're not really seeing that in other nations

1472
00:57:38.870 --> 00:57:39.650
 for some reason.

1473
00:57:40.370 --> 00:57:42.610
 And if we don't comply with that idea,

1474
00:57:43.490 --> 00:57:44.890
 then we're the racist people.

1475
00:57:45.390 --> 00:57:46.330
 I get it, I get it.

1476
00:57:46.350 --> 00:57:49.590
 Because we see the sensationalization of it

1477
00:57:49.590 --> 00:57:50.950
 in the UK where they're going like,

1478
00:57:51.070 --> 00:57:53.290
 oh, they're raping our women on the streets,

1479
00:57:53.390 --> 00:57:55.290
 you know, the people coming in here.

1480
00:57:55.630 --> 00:57:58.470
 And then those same leaders are going like,

1481
00:57:58.570 --> 00:58:00.330
 well, you know, we've got to let them do

1482
00:58:00.330 --> 00:58:02.370
 what they need to do and this and that.

1483
00:58:02.370 --> 00:58:05.750
 That really, really bothers me a lot.

1484
00:58:06.230 --> 00:58:08.410
 It's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong.

1485
00:58:08.550 --> 00:58:10.830
 And I don't know if it's going to happen

1486
00:58:10.830 --> 00:58:13.770
 in my timeframe, basically, you know,

1487
00:58:13.770 --> 00:58:15.070
 where it's going to be accepted.

1488
00:58:15.290 --> 00:58:16.910
 You know, 15, 20 years from now

1489
00:58:16.910 --> 00:58:19.490
 when I'm watching TV going like, ah, whatever.

1490
00:58:20.070 --> 00:58:22.690
 You know, and I never want to get that way.

1491
00:58:22.690 --> 00:58:23.070
 Yeah.

1492
00:58:23.570 --> 00:58:24.070
 It's scary.

1493
00:58:25.550 --> 00:58:28.470
 There's no moral, there is no moral argument

1494
00:58:28.470 --> 00:58:33.030
 for any human to make a case for marrying an eight-year-old

1495
00:58:34.110 --> 00:58:35.810
 and raping women.

1496
00:58:37.530 --> 00:58:39.030
 There just isn't, I'm sorry.

1497
00:58:39.810 --> 00:58:41.610
 You know, the only reason you're doing that

1498
00:58:41.610 --> 00:58:44.570
 is because you're trying to capture a culture

1499
00:58:44.570 --> 00:58:48.770
 and a people and you're trying to stamp them out

1500
00:58:48.770 --> 00:58:49.750
 through reproduction.

1501
00:58:50.430 --> 00:58:51.190
 That's it.

1502
00:58:51.430 --> 00:58:53.330
 You're just trying to impregnate the world

1503
00:58:53.950 --> 00:58:57.350
 to have more people of your ilk born

1504
00:58:57.350 --> 00:59:01.530
 that you can capture, condition, control, program,

1505
00:59:01.670 --> 00:59:02.850
 and release out into the world.

1506
00:59:03.150 --> 00:59:05.850
 This is a tactic used to do exactly

1507
00:59:05.850 --> 00:59:07.270
 what you and I are talking about,

1508
00:59:07.550 --> 00:59:09.730
 which is to change the culture and change the world

1509
00:59:09.730 --> 00:59:13.610
 to become more of a singular worldview,

1510
00:59:13.810 --> 00:59:15.510
 a singular mindset.

1511
00:59:16.090 --> 00:59:18.870
 You know, like, this has been talked about

1512
00:59:18.870 --> 00:59:20.810
 as far back as the Star Trek stories,

1513
00:59:20.810 --> 00:59:22.910
 except they paint a utopian view

1514
00:59:22.910 --> 00:59:23.570
 of what the world could be.

1515
00:59:23.730 --> 00:59:24.170
 Exactly.

1516
00:59:24.330 --> 00:59:29.070
 But I don't think that's what's gonna happen here

1517
00:59:29.070 --> 00:59:32.450
 because it's gonna backfire on those who are in control

1518
00:59:32.450 --> 00:59:33.510
 and pulling the strings.

1519
00:59:34.370 --> 00:59:35.030
 It just is.

1520
00:59:35.590 --> 00:59:37.570
 I think before I let you go,

1521
00:59:37.750 --> 00:59:40.010
 because we both have to be respectful of time today,

1522
00:59:41.030 --> 00:59:43.430
 is I don't wanna say who's gonna win,

1523
00:59:43.450 --> 00:59:44.330
 who's gonna lose,

1524
00:59:44.390 --> 00:59:46.710
 but where do you see us 10 years from now?

1525
00:59:47.110 --> 00:59:48.050
 Where do you see the US?

1526
00:59:48.130 --> 00:59:49.710
 Where do you see the world 10 years from now?

1527
00:59:50.830 --> 00:59:51.890
 I don't know.

1528
00:59:53.650 --> 00:59:59.270
 I think unless Western nations can stand up

1529
01:00:00.090 --> 01:00:02.890
 to all the craziness and realize

1530
01:00:02.890 --> 01:00:04.630
 that they gotta preserve who they are

1531
01:00:04.630 --> 01:00:05.850
 and preserve their cultures,

1532
01:00:05.910 --> 01:00:09.390
 even if it's a melting pot, as most people will say,

1533
01:00:10.310 --> 01:00:12.190
 if they don't start doing that,

1534
01:00:12.190 --> 01:00:13.950
 I think you're gonna see the destruction

1535
01:00:13.950 --> 01:00:14.870
 of Western nations.

1536
01:00:15.050 --> 01:00:17.650
 And honestly, you're probably either gonna see

1537
01:00:17.650 --> 01:00:19.490
 a world controlled by communist China,

1538
01:00:19.490 --> 01:00:25.170
 or it's gonna be a world under the thumb of Islam, period.

1539
01:00:26.250 --> 01:00:30.290
 And I don't care about how anybody else feels about this

1540
01:00:30.290 --> 01:00:31.490
 because you can see it.

1541
01:00:31.550 --> 01:00:32.930
 We're on that trajectory.

1542
01:00:34.030 --> 01:00:36.750
 And people hate Trump for what he's doing right now.

1543
01:00:37.250 --> 01:00:39.030
 Well, if more of our presidents

1544
01:00:39.030 --> 01:00:42.210
 would have treated foreign policy the way he has,

1545
01:00:42.870 --> 01:00:44.530
 we wouldn't be having these conversations.

1546
01:00:45.890 --> 01:00:47.850
 But yeah, I see the decline of Western nations.

1547
01:00:47.850 --> 01:00:53.710
 I see that if we don't stick to our guns, so to speak,

1548
01:00:54.350 --> 01:00:56.390
 put our foot down and protect our own cultures,

1549
01:00:56.570 --> 01:00:58.910
 our own sovereignty, our borders, and our way of life,

1550
01:00:59.030 --> 01:01:01.090
 it's gonna be either a world ran by China

1551
01:01:01.090 --> 01:01:03.710
 or it's gonna be a world under the thumb of Islam,

1552
01:01:03.710 --> 01:01:04.070
 period.

1553
01:01:04.570 --> 01:01:06.870
 Yeah, pretty sobering when you come to that.

1554
01:01:06.990 --> 01:01:10.310
 I like to make the argument that the Western nations

1555
01:01:10.310 --> 01:01:13.250
 seem to be so powerful in their armament,

1556
01:01:13.270 --> 01:01:15.610
 in their militaries, and their resolve

1557
01:01:15.610 --> 01:01:17.090
 as far as our social issues

1558
01:01:17.090 --> 01:01:19.810
 and people that have moral values

1559
01:01:19.810 --> 01:01:23.270
 that differ than the other values of nations

1560
01:01:23.270 --> 01:01:26.490
 that wanna come in and infiltrate our countries.

1561
01:01:27.490 --> 01:01:31.930
 But that strength and everything else has a weakness to it.

1562
01:01:31.950 --> 01:01:36.190
 And I think that we're just coming to our weaknesses,

1563
01:01:36.230 --> 01:01:36.650
 really.

1564
01:01:37.130 --> 01:01:42.290
 The only thing I can say that might turn the tide quicker

1565
01:01:43.550 --> 01:01:45.890
 is a lot of people don't realize

1566
01:01:45.890 --> 01:01:49.790
 that the UK was a huge empire at one time.

1567
01:01:49.890 --> 01:01:51.610
 And if you look at their history,

1568
01:01:53.330 --> 01:01:55.570
 there are proud people and there are people

1569
01:01:55.570 --> 01:01:57.030
 that literally didn't take any shit.

1570
01:01:58.330 --> 01:02:00.630
 I think it's gonna get to the point

1571
01:02:00.630 --> 01:02:05.290
 where you're not gonna be able to control the people

1572
01:02:05.290 --> 01:02:07.490
 in the UK much longer,

1573
01:02:08.110 --> 01:02:10.950
 and hopefully they rise up and become what they were.

1574
01:02:10.950 --> 01:02:13.910
 And then that's a people that is just gonna be like,

1575
01:02:13.910 --> 01:02:15.010
 nope, this ain't happening.

1576
01:02:15.710 --> 01:02:17.190
 We're putting our foot down.

1577
01:02:17.230 --> 01:02:19.370
 We're taking our nation

1578
01:02:19.370 --> 01:02:22.350
 and we're going to help our European neighbors

1579
01:02:22.350 --> 01:02:23.650
 take their nations back.

1580
01:02:24.230 --> 01:02:26.350
 And also the US, let's just be honest.

1581
01:02:26.430 --> 01:02:29.170
 I mean, for as fickle as we seem,

1582
01:02:29.890 --> 01:02:33.330
 for as much as we're the country of acceptance

1583
01:02:33.330 --> 01:02:34.770
 and empathy and whatever,

1584
01:02:37.730 --> 01:02:40.990
 we have a history of you push us hard enough,

1585
01:02:42.490 --> 01:02:45.970
 we're gonna snap, you're not gonna like the retaliation.

1586
01:02:46.490 --> 01:02:48.770
 There's a straw that definitely breaks the camel's back.

1587
01:02:48.930 --> 01:02:49.870
 And I think we're there.

1588
01:02:50.850 --> 01:02:56.010
 And I have the same hope that you do.

1589
01:02:56.110 --> 01:02:57.030
 I mean, I really do.

1590
01:02:57.150 --> 01:02:59.210
 I think that there's a point,

1591
01:02:59.510 --> 01:03:01.050
 and we might be at that point,

1592
01:03:05.510 --> 01:03:07.030
 let's circle back to Trump.

1593
01:03:08.210 --> 01:03:09.830
 I think it's a good thing that he's there

1594
01:03:10.390 --> 01:03:12.730
 because of the fact that all of our other leaders

1595
01:03:12.730 --> 01:03:14.990
 seem to lack the moral fortitude

1596
01:03:14.990 --> 01:03:16.710
 or the intestinal fortitude

1597
01:03:16.710 --> 01:03:18.750
 to go ahead and push something like this.

1598
01:03:18.910 --> 01:03:20.890
 I mean, it's been coming for a long time.

1599
01:03:21.170 --> 01:03:23.530
 And whether or not he did it or not,

1600
01:03:23.610 --> 01:03:25.470
 I think there was an eventual fact

1601
01:03:25.470 --> 01:03:27.130
 that we would have done it ourselves.

1602
01:03:27.170 --> 01:03:28.250
 It was gonna happen.

1603
01:03:28.570 --> 01:03:30.610
 Yeah, it was gonna happen one way or the other.

1604
01:03:31.530 --> 01:03:34.550
 Hey, George, man, it's been great talking to you, man.

1605
01:03:34.550 --> 01:03:38.030
 I love having freaking coffee conversation with you, man.

1606
01:03:38.110 --> 01:03:39.890
 It was fantastic having you on the show.

1607
01:03:40.350 --> 01:03:41.450
 You can do more of them, let me know.

1608
01:03:41.510 --> 01:03:42.270
 You got my number.

1609
01:03:42.870 --> 01:03:44.390
 Let's just set them up, man.

1610
01:03:44.490 --> 01:03:45.030
 You never know.

1611
01:03:45.350 --> 01:03:46.350
 Just say, hey, let's have a chat.

1612
01:03:47.030 --> 01:03:49.750
 Yeah, tell everybody about your podcast.

1613
01:03:50.510 --> 01:03:55.150
 The podcast, World of Blaze with George Fonz.

1614
01:03:56.070 --> 01:04:00.490
 Yeah, no, you could find it at worldofblazepodcast.com

1615
01:04:01.050 --> 01:04:02.550
 and it's a mix of things.

1616
01:04:02.570 --> 01:04:03.950
 It's a mix of my solo episodes,

1617
01:04:03.950 --> 01:04:09.030
 which can be a little more to the point, to say the least.

1618
01:04:09.610 --> 01:04:11.610
 You see a little slightly different personality,

1619
01:04:11.670 --> 01:04:13.730
 but I'm also open to talking to everybody

1620
01:04:13.730 --> 01:04:14.650
 I wanna hear all sides.

1621
01:04:14.810 --> 01:04:15.830
 So if you're interested in some

1622
01:04:15.830 --> 01:04:18.690
 that actually discusses the issues

1623
01:04:18.690 --> 01:04:21.350
 while also getting out of my bubble

1624
01:04:21.350 --> 01:04:22.630
 and getting outside echo chambers

1625
01:04:22.630 --> 01:04:24.210
 and talking to people across the aisle,

1626
01:04:24.550 --> 01:04:25.770
 then I think that's the podcast

1627
01:04:25.770 --> 01:04:28.410
 you would really want to listen to.

1628
01:04:28.950 --> 01:04:30.150
 So yeah, I'm gonna say that.

1629
01:04:30.210 --> 01:04:31.490
 And I'm horrible at social media,

1630
01:04:31.490 --> 01:04:33.750
 but look, I'm on X, I'm on Instagram,

1631
01:04:34.470 --> 01:04:37.490
 I'm on Substack, handle is at Fonzablaze.

1632
01:04:37.610 --> 01:04:38.470
 I don't push it.

1633
01:04:38.950 --> 01:04:40.110
 I don't know why I don't.

1634
01:04:40.310 --> 01:04:41.870
 So you may not see a lot of followers,

1635
01:04:41.870 --> 01:04:43.530
 but the podcast does pretty well.

1636
01:04:43.930 --> 01:04:45.690
 So yeah, check it out.

1637
01:04:46.130 --> 01:04:47.050
 Let me know what you think.

1638
01:04:47.490 --> 01:04:49.290
 And John Chamego would be screaming at you.

1639
01:04:49.410 --> 01:04:51.470
 You gotta share everything, man.

1640
01:04:51.550 --> 01:04:52.290
 You gotta share.

1641
01:04:52.610 --> 01:04:54.990
 Yeah, I mean, look, I only have so much bandwidth.

1642
01:04:56.190 --> 01:04:58.110
 I've got sponsors I'm trying to work with.

1643
01:04:58.210 --> 01:04:59.610
 I still haven't gotten around

1644
01:04:59.610 --> 01:05:06.610
 to putting my commercials and my overlays

1645
01:05:06.610 --> 01:05:07.450
 and whatnot together.

1646
01:05:07.610 --> 01:05:08.650
 I just, it's time.

1647
01:05:08.890 --> 01:05:11.450
 I mean, look, this isn't a full-time job for me.

1648
01:05:11.490 --> 01:05:11.770
 It's just not.

1649
01:05:11.790 --> 01:05:14.230
 We need your time, talent, and treasure, guys out there.

1650
01:05:14.310 --> 01:05:15.650
 Give us your time, talent, and treasure,

1651
01:05:15.750 --> 01:05:16.630
 but we'll take it.

1652
01:05:16.630 --> 01:05:17.230
 We'll take it.

1653
01:05:17.230 --> 01:05:18.670
 It's just as good as a sponsorship.

1654
01:05:19.430 --> 01:05:19.830
 Absolutely.

1655
01:05:20.310 --> 01:05:22.790
 I know that you're going on live tonight

1656
01:05:22.790 --> 01:05:23.930
 with the RazorWire.

1657
01:05:24.050 --> 01:05:25.850
 This will probably go out tomorrow,

1658
01:05:25.990 --> 01:05:28.190
 but for RazorWire, you're going on.

1659
01:05:28.190 --> 01:05:29.890
 So go out there and listen to George.

1660
01:05:30.270 --> 01:05:31.970
 If you have to have more, George,

1661
01:05:32.310 --> 01:05:33.430
 go see him on RazorWire.

1662
01:05:33.470 --> 01:05:35.190
 I don't know if anyone has to have more of me,

1663
01:05:35.830 --> 01:05:38.970
 but no, it'll be a fun time on RazorWire.

1664
01:05:39.570 --> 01:05:41.390
 And you and I, I mean, honestly,

1665
01:05:41.710 --> 01:05:44.090
 we're geographically not that far apart whatsoever.

1666
01:05:44.710 --> 01:05:46.150
 So yeah, if you want to set more of these up,

1667
01:05:46.270 --> 01:05:46.750
 sure, man.

1668
01:05:46.950 --> 01:05:47.810
 I'm always open.

1669
01:05:48.590 --> 01:05:49.450
 Absolutely, absolutely.

1670
01:05:49.570 --> 01:05:52.970
 And catch us on the morning show on Road Race 101.

1671
01:05:53.070 --> 01:05:54.790
 You can get that wherever you want to,

1672
01:05:54.790 --> 01:05:59.030
 on X and on any other audio podcasting program

1673
01:05:59.470 --> 01:06:00.850
 or app that you have.

1674
01:06:01.430 --> 01:06:02.570
 And we'll be back again,

1675
01:06:02.650 --> 01:06:04.310
 probably in another month with the Razor Report.

1676
01:06:04.470 --> 01:06:05.210
 Maybe Ken will be back.

1677
01:06:05.310 --> 01:06:06.490
 Maybe somebody else will be back,

1678
01:06:06.510 --> 01:06:08.070
 but we'll definitely have another copy chat.

1679
01:06:08.150 --> 01:06:10.090
 So we'll see you later and have a good one

1680
01:06:10.090 --> 01:06:11.690
 and take care and go get yourself

1681
01:06:11.690 --> 01:06:15.470
 some Colacumcraft coffee and be American.

1682
01:06:15.670 --> 01:06:16.430
 Be American.

1683
01:06:16.690 --> 01:06:16.850
 All right.

1684
01:06:16.970 --> 01:06:18.210
 And drink it from America's cup.

1685
01:06:18.410 --> 01:06:18.570
 All right.

1686
01:06:18.710 --> 01:06:19.070
 Absolutely.
