Roasting the C0VID Cult | Guests: John Doyle & Kezia Schaffer | Ep 149
Double masks ... indoors ... post-vaccination. Welcome to the C0VID cult, where the science is always changing, if you question anything you're trying to get Grandma killed, and Dr. Fauci is a god. Kezia Schaffer and John Doyle join the show to roast the complete insanity that is the C0VID cult.
What you just saw right there was a young woman trying to get ahead in life, but was kept down not by misogyny, not by the patriarchy, but by the COVID cult.
She collapsed from hypoxia while trying to break her record.
And I'm not the only one that kind of finds this funny.
It's sad, but it's funny.
Take Tim Poole, who happens to have a bigger audience than me and is way more left than I am.
He even said, watching the woman running track with a mask on faint from hypoxia was hilarious, meaning it's not funny that she passed out.
It's just sad that we've gotten here as a country.
And we're going to be looking at a lot of the most insane places that we've ended up in this COVID-19 cult and some of the culprits who have pushed it, including our favorite person who loves to hate us and we don't care, Ben Shapiro.
My name is Elijah Schaefer and I'm one of your top 17 hosts here on the internet.
Welcome back to Slightly Offensive, the best worst show on Blaze TV to talk about all of the BS in America.
I brought none other than resident guests, John Doyle.
You can even have people like Savannah might be on the road and she might, you know, be like, thank you for that.
Good luck, everybody else.
So you need to protect your car, but you also want to make it look cool, which is why you need bumpers that are built on quality protection and style.
And I'm telling you, there's no substitute for a Rode Armor bumper.
They're 100% made.
Guess what?
Here in the USA, and they're Texas strong.
No lockdowns here, but you can lock down your car at least, keep it safe.
All the products are backed by their lifetime guarantee.
And it shouldn't shock you because why would you buy a product that doesn't back itself and care about its own product quality?
Well, they do.
And they pride themselves on building bumpers to the highest style and design specifications and to all interests.
They proudly support and hire mentors, first responders, and veterans.
So the company is cool, not just the products.
And when you support them, you're supporting life-changing organizations like the American Valor Foundation.
And they're passionate about giving back to the veteran community, something that we believe in here.
If you go to roadarmor.com, ladies and gentlemen, I'm telling you this, and my Jeepo use code Blaze50.
That's B-L-A-Z-E-5-0 to save 50% off your first purchase.
That's B-L-A-Z-E50 Blaze50 to save 50% off your first purchase.
Go to roadarmor.com.
Use code Blaze50 to get 50% off the best bumpers and body styling in the USA.
So people have gone crazy.
I don't know if you've noticed recently.
They've gone absolutely insane.
The left, which used to fight corporations and be against corruption, have now suddenly blindly given their allegiance to pharmaceutical campaigns, which above most corporations probably are the most corrupt.
Mind you, and also racist.
Savannah was reminding me, what did they do to black people famously?
But in this particular context, I would say that there actually is a biological component to what we would define as leftism.
And this is really interesting.
Like it's not as simple as just I agree with this or I disagree with this.
Typically what leftism tends to be is a result of insecurity and over socialization.
And the way that your brain works neurochemically, dopamine, for example, dopamine will secrete whenever you do something which you perceive to be beneficial to your survival.
And so conservatives, we are confident in our ability to compete in like a free market system, for example.
And so we're not threatened by other people.
We're like, okay, screw you.
I'll compete with you.
Leftists, on the other hand, are not confident.
This is why, you know, every time you look at a leftist, they look spiritually ill.
And it's because they are spiritually ill, they are insecure and they are not confident in themselves, which is why they want a system where total equality is Enforced by the state.
And so, what they're doing when they do the mask thing and they change their profile picture to one where they're wearing a mask or they make little song parodies like this, what they are doing is telling the authority figures, I'm obeying, because they know that their only chance or their optimal chance for survival and prospering is when they're submissive to authority figures.
And so, literally, when they do that, when they comply like that, they secrete dopamine the same way that you and I would get a little rush by disobeying those orders because we know that we don't have to be manipulated like that.
It's really a scary thing when you think that these people have structured a society such that weak people feel happy when they are submissive to that authority and then they become the majority because of the narrative consolidation by the media, which basically just acts as a propaganda apparatus as an extension of the American regime, so to speak.
And also, too, I was reading, I can't remember exactly what, but the amygdala in your brain is basically responsible for saying no to things.
And like you hear all this rhetoric about like anxiety and just trying to calm down and be totally calm.
It's like they're trying to basically disassociate people from situations which would compel them to have that no response, which because of neuroplasticity over time will literally make you less capable and willing to say no.
They're trying to drill submission into people's heads.
It's actually of such a sophisticated level, it actually like boggles the mind just how evil these people are.
And like beer, for example, alcohol literally converts your testosterone into estrogen.
That's why men that drink a lot will develop man boobs.
And you know, I understand that masculinity and alcohol are somewhat indissoluble just given the way that they've propagated together throughout the last, even the history in this country.
But it's like binge drinking is not masculine.
And the fact that Budweiser would come out and be like, hey, man, we'll get you a beer if you take the shot.
So their users scamming off of the vaccine to get people to go that way.
Now, I'm going to tell you this.
Why does this normalize?
Like, what allowed this to occur?
You know what allowed this to occur?
People like Ben Shapiro, who have been known for having really bad takes on the vaccine, amongst many other neocon prerogatives that have misled the right entirely into us losing our entire country.
You know, it's just insane.
So Ben Shapiro is like, is act shock ready?
He's like, I was pro-masking throughout the pandemic.
Once you're vaccinated, you should get back to your regular life.
The mask has now become, for far too many people, a religious icon, which is their prerogative.
But stop pretending this is allegiance to data.
It isn't.
So I like just came in just to bring a little common sense and was like, this is what we warned you guys about.
That's why we weren't, we were anti-mask.
It wasn't about preventing people from wearing one.
Like nobody was like, hey, nobody wear a mask.
It was about resisting government mandates that lead to social conditioning.
You fell for the trap.
You led your audience with you and now you act surprised.
We're here.
If everyone's going like, how did we get to a point of mental illness?
It's like, well, because the establishment pushed the narrative for so long that people thought that the normalcy of this country was mental illness.
And you brought this up, Kez, is that it's created a childish environment where people are like needing basic little rewards and making little movies.
Yeah, we've people say, you know, this is a good point.
Is that people tell me when they see me, like I've had people tell me this physically, like actually, like, you're the reason why we're still in this when I'm not wearing a mask?
One of the ways that the state has managed so successfully to erode the community in America is by changing the way people perceive money.
And they do this through regulating small business into the ground and then also through income tax to where people no longer feel as though their money is actually their money.
It's almost the same as though, or as if they were just getting bread rations or something.
Like they're given their paycheck every bi-weekly and they get this amount of money.
And it's like after you cover your expenses, you know, obviously to provide for yourself and for your family, I can promise you that that extra money that you have would do better in the hands of this person who's literally being targeted by the state than if you wanted to buy yourself like $5 coffees or a new PlayStation or something like that.
It's like, if you allow them to make it so you don't help other people financially, then they win.
And so we're going to make a donation on air.
I would highly recommend that everybody do because you never know when you're going to need it.
I found this lady, her whole TikTok has like her like dancing really awkwardly in front of like, oh, well, finally pregnant women can get the vaccine and stuff like that.
And everyone's like, oh my gosh, this is this woman, her entire personality is COVID.
It's entirely dependent on external gratification.
Like these types of people have no sense of self.
It's like such is the nature of leftism.
They're insecure.
They have no purpose.
And so they see these narratives and they're like, I will be submissive.
This will be my purpose.
I will align myself with the narratives of the state and the ruling class.
And then they literally secrete the dopamine and they feel like they're actually making a contribution to society.
Such is the nature of the graphic t-shirt.
Seriously, think about graphic t-shirts.
I will advertise to the world, I like this show.
This is who I am.
Or even the nature of like relationships.
Like you two, so cute.
And you like have your values aligned and everything.
The conversations that people have nowadays, like, oh, my boyfriend is so great.
We like the same music.
We like the same activities.
It's like, do you really think the most consequential arguments and decisions that will like have to occur in your relationship will be like what to watch on Netflix?
People are completely eroded.
And this is what we found out with this.
Ironically, liberals do this the most.
Liberalism told us that we were all individuals and we're all rational thinkers and we can make our own decisions.
Now everything's eroded.
People aren't like that.
They're completely willing to be submissive to the state.
And even something like, like I watched American Pie the other night and it made me depressed because everybody was so happy like in the 1990s.
I seriously think that that's why people are so nostalgic for the 90s because then everyone just got depressed in the 2000s.
It's not a coincidence that the 2000s gave birth to like emo music and goth things.
So the girl that she tried to dox apparently works at a place where the owner has the same political views and didn't get in trouble.
Well, I don't believe in karma, but if I did, let's go to video six.
So people, people did their work.
I went ahead on Twitter because you can't call to dox other people, but I feel like there's this idea of punching upwards.
Like I would never just like, like, meaning I can like, I can talk about Ben Shapiro because that's, I mean, he's way more successful.
He's richer, everything.
So it's like, it's not rude for me to attack him.
If I took some random person that was like on YouTube and like picked them apart, that'd be wrong.
This girl, if I talked about her, if she didn't first expose somebody else, I would be in the wrong.
But no, let's play the game.
You want to play the game, girl?
You want to play with the internet?
The internet's going to play back with you.
People found out everything about her.
Go to video six.
unidentified
This video is for anybody that feels so triggered at what other people post on the internet that they feel the need to dox them.
First and foremost, doxing is illegal in all 50 states.
Oh, no.
It does.
It depends on who I am.
And they're putting private information on how dangerous, how inflammatory it's still illegal to dox them because it carries implications not only for that individual, whether they deserve it or not, but if they're married, if they have a family, if they have children, that can have serious implications for them and it can be very dangerous.
So while you might not care enough to do anything physically to them, there are people on the internet crazy enough to show up to this person's house or to their job or do something otherwise harmful to them.
If you feel like this individual is engaging in misconduct or something illegal, feel free to report that to the appropriate authorities, but don't dox them.
I want to keep talking about this, but guys, I got to tell you something very important.
As we get into this next segment, we're going to look at a lot more of what's going on of these videos of people getting the COVID cult is getting cracked and we're snapping back.
But I got to talk to you guys about something called Carnivore Trading.
And no, this is not a meat company.
This is the real beef.
I'm talking about the stock market here.
Things are volatile, but they're also a place where if you know the right information, you can make the right gains.
And I'm talking about muscles.
I'm talking about actual cash.
Moolah.
The stock market is on the verge of historic gains.
This is absolutely true.
According to Carnivore Trading, who spotted several key indicators, but the biggest profits will come in sectors even Wall Street experts miss.
And you shouldn't miss those things either just because you're not there.
Carnivore Trading is an elite squad of strategists who influence major Wall Street investors.
And when you subscribe to Carnivore, you receive real-time text alerts, which is very important when it's stock market that you're right on the volatile time.
You get at the right second of explosive trades that they're making for the elite clients.
You can also mirror their trades with your discount broker or pass.
But also, why would you pass when their trades routinely crush the S ⁇ P 500?
And they also guarantee you'll earn five times your monthly subscription or double your money back.
So it's like, why would you not sign up if it's a guaranteed win?
I know that it's hard for me to trade.
So these kinds of services and strategists is exactly what someone like me needs.
Oh man, if you mirror their trades, you really can get a lot back.
The market looks to be on the verge of a massive upswing.
Get off the sidelines and mirror Carnivore's trades.
And right now you'll get two weeks free.
That's two weeks free if you visit getourtrades.com and use promo code offense.

Please check it out.
Start investing and play it safe.
But also, you can't win big unless you risk it.
But I'm not an official.
They are.
Listen to them, not me.
Anyway, so we're talking about, we talked a lot about women and this reaction of this feminization and this COVID cult, how it's brought on these real victimized culture.
I think we have a video here.
This is actually kind of the best video I've ever seen.
Just go ahead and, this is an example of this.
Play video seven.
unidentified
I can't breathe with this mask on.
I'll die.
Then die.
Put the mask on.
Let's see it.
I woke up to hundreds of hateful comments on my one of my most recent videos about how I just think people should be wearing masks for COVID.
It's the craziest thing.
But I was basically told that by hundreds of people that I should die.
You know honestly, when it comes to women voting, there's my days where i'm like I get it, I get the argument, and then there's my days where i'm like damn, I guess that means I can't vote, though too well, I don't know.
I've had a conversation with someone about this before.
I mean, with the women voting, that's a whole side thing.
I just don't think that's possible to like reverse that people make points about men should be the only people to vote and to end women's suffrage.
I know that that um, what's his name?
Mark Dice famously got a lot of people to agree to end women's suffrage.
Uh, I just don't think that in the world today, that's where we should be having arguments, because I don't think that's actually plausible or possible in the current climate of things through a legal route.
So it's like I just don't like to argue about things that I feel like genuinely can't be accomplished in the current climate.
There are ways to and this is something that the right needs to really get comfortable with that in order to really restore things, we're going to have to basically disenfranchise people en masse, and there are ways to do that, for example through, like a tax system where you wouldn't be able to vote unless you were a net tax contributor.
Um, because even in principle, it doesn't really make sense that people who are taking more from the system than they're giving into it have the same say as to how that money is spent, how your money and my money are spent, if they're not actually making the same investment.
So they really probably shouldn't get to vote.
And that's the founding fathers knew that.
Everybody is always like, the founding fathers were geniuses and it's like okay well, what do you think about their opinions on who gets to vote?
Okay I I um watched uh, I I read a VICE article that was about Joe Rogan, and the very first sentence in the VICE article is, all these like tv personalities and celebrities need to stop giving us advice because they have no idea what they're talking about.
And it's like, right, you know that the majority of tv personalities and celebrities are telling us, get the vaccine, and they're making little jingles and whatever, get the vaccine.
And then they do this whole big article about, oh, it's so terrible that he would do this and it's like, who are you?
You're writing an article and in your very first sentence you say you shouldn't trust people who don't know what they're talking about, and then go on to explain why I need to trust you.
You've given me no credibility of who you are.
You are a doctor.
You do know what you're talking about.
So these people, like in the very first thing that comes out of their mouth, they say, don't trust me.
Here's why you should listen to exactly what I say and you just go.
I'm not going to give you any information, but i'm just going to say you need to get it and anyone who says it's dangerous, don't listen to them.
I'm not going to tell you why it's not dangerous or why it is safe, because I have no effing idea, because i'm just some random reporter just writing an article.
Believe fact checkers, which are literally just the same people that spread the misinformation, trying to give their own misinformation to counter it sheesh.
I remember, remember, you were on Sarah Gonzalez's show downstairs, and she was like, Yeah, sometimes I'd look at John for a take, and he would just go, Very true.
But reporting for Chuck E. Cheese, I want to get into this video eight.
In the fact that, you know, people have thought that this COVID pandemic or scam damage, whatever they want to call it, has given them the right to just be certified government sponsored wherever they walk around to women, to minorities.
It does not matter.
They can be jerks to you simply because they know the state is on their side.
This is that state-enforced bullying of, let's say, Jews, which was horrible.
I mean, think about that.
People were like bullying the Jews and picking on the Jews.
That's anti-Semitism.
That's horrible.
And they were doing that kind of stuff.
And so they go, you know, and why would they do that in the culture?
Because they knew that the government was backing them up and they knew that they wouldn't have any repercussions.
Why does BLM attack stores and burn them down and burn them down?
Because they know the state isn't going to prosecute.
So people act socially unacceptable ways using this pandemic per se as a way to just be for the sake of being a narcissistic piece.
And that's what they are.
Check out video number eight.
Let's watch this.
Let's confront everybody in Walmart that's not wearing a mask.
I was going to say, I feel self-owned because at the same time, while you're in Walmart, the weirdest people are in there.
Like, I've gone to upper-class neighborhoods, like even this, like, not upper-class, but pretty upper-middle-class neighborhoods.
Like this one in Lahabra, it's a decent area.
You walk in there, there aren't even white people in the, like, in like, that you even see that aren't dressed nicely driving a BMW.
I swear, every like redneck that exists that I didn't know existed in the city is in there.
And no problems with rednecks.
I just, it's so weird.
Like, they're not just like rednecks.
People there just look weird.
And you can say that's mean, but a lot of people in Walmart just look strange.
And the weirdest part about it isn't that people look weird.
There are entire websites dedicated to people in Walmart.
But I'm going to tell you this.
On top of that, not only that, but I walk in there and nobody speaks English.
So it's like weird.
So there's like, there's like, there's like rednecks with employees that don't speak English.
And then you realize in that moment, it's not even about us and class warfare and the fact that people are there that are lower income or just look weird are giving all of their money to the Walton family, right?
Isn't that what they're called?
To these billionaires who don't pay their employees.
And then you feel like you're a part of this like.
This class of people struggling to get by and survive that are being raped financially by these billionaires.
And I can never get that out of my head when i'm in there, that like we're just transferring class money from the middle and lower middle classes and lower class into billionaires pockets, like by buying things we don't need and so it's not making fun of the people who are there.
I just get the sad image of like what America is.
It's just like raping people's wallets and transferring it to people who hate them and would ship their jobs overseas and don't even care about our country while they suffer.
And it's like I, it makes it hard to shop at Walmart.
And then it's like, oh yeah.
And then also you see these employees making like ten dollars an hour that don't speak English, have like a mask on that's like wet, because it's like these, and it says like made with biodegradable materials on it, like it's like dude, your employees are biodegradable to you.
Like oh, my gosh, I really pulled a hot spring off of you.
It's like we're talking about this guy who's trying to roast people for not wearing a mask, which is like you're roasting someone because they're breathing, and but then you really just have a lot to say about Walmart.
There's nothing wrong with struggling to get by or anything like that.
I've struggled many my life.
I grew up really poor, etc.
And not just poor people shop there.
It's just that when you're there, it's like you could tell that place was set up like an animal farm, like a cattle farm, to get as like many products and as many people in at a time so that we waste as much money as possible, get lost and then end up leaving with stuff that won't even last us a week so that billionaires can get an extra yacht.
Yeah wow, so true, I hate globalist capitalism honestly.
Another thing, like with what you said about how they they don't even believe in America.
They're all post-national, like they think that they are too sophisticated to participate in the concept of a nation.
So, because they're rich enough to you know, if this country collapses, they'll just go somewhere else, right?
They have no allegiance to the people, to the soil, to anything.
They hate it and they're.
They're looting the.
They've created the decaying empire.
Now they're looting it like the transfer of wealth from the middle class to the the billionaires.
In the last month or, i'm sorry, in the last year, has probably been the greatest human rights violation that we will ever see in our lifetime and probably that's ever been committed.
But Michael, I'm just saying, is like a little more stylized, a little more savage when it comes to just like being like pointing out the fact that liberals are ugly.
But Joy Reed says that she still went out and jogged with two masks on proudly.
And like the doctor's like, yeah, I'm a doctor.
Good job.
Good job, TV host.
There's no science involved in this at all.
And that's the problem with all of this is that there's nothing about science involved in any of this.
It has become a cult, a virtue signaling cult.
And you know what?
And they go, well, it's so, we're so honest, so real, and we're so transparent about this that it's like at this point, Dr. Fauci from April of 2021 could debate Dr. Fauci from April of 2020.
And it would sound like you literally are having a debate between Trump and President Biden when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic, as you want to call it.
He's changed so much that even his co-partner, the guy who won the Nobel Prize for developing the polymerous chain reaction testing, the PCR, you know, this guy said on air that Dr. Fauci's a liar, Anthony Fauci, and that he'll say whatever and just say whatever for money.
But it makes sense because he's the highest paid federal employee.
And it's like, these are the people that are the experts telling us to run outside with two masks without any scientific evidence.
But if I dare question a vaccine that has clear and reasons that I should question it, no, strike from YouTube.
Get off the air.
You want to spread this kind of stuff that makes people live in a world that isn't real?
Oh, well, you'll make millions of dollars because you're a puppet.
If you spread that, that has much more dangerous implications.
You would walk off a roof or something to test it.
Whereas this, just spreading and asking questions about the effects of the pandemic and the masks and everything, they'll shut that down as though it's like the most dangerous thing that you could possibly ask.
U.S. health officials say fully vaccinated Americans don't need to wear masks outdoors anymore.
This is where we have the ultimate idea that this is a cult.
Joe Biden went to announce this to the public.
A lot of people have seen this, but this explains what the cult is about, about virtue signaling from the administration, by the way, who we'll talk about in a second is pretty deep, but he said this.
Because the science indicates that the most certain way to make sure it doesn't spread if both people have been vaccinated, the people you're with, and you're outside.
But do you know, to your point about that this is all a cult, it is a cult because the left also believe that men and women are exactly the same and a man can be a woman.
So if you deny that science, why would you expect them to believe any science about masks?
And they go, no, trust me, trust me on this one.
Masks do work if you're wearing two of them and you've got vaccinated twice and you're wearing two times now.
Do you will be fine?
Trust me, the science has got it.
And you go, why am I going to listen to this person who also believes that a man can say he's a woman and is a woman?
You just don't, you say you believe in science, but I don't think you really did take the classes.
So this is the Colette Bakery, which we got to donate to.
I'm going to see if they've, I wonder if they've gotten any more.
I haven't shared it yet publicly.
Okay, no, it will go up.
So Colette Bakery, who we're going to share across social media, we're going to track this for the next couple of weeks.
The reason why she was like, well, why should I make this?
And I said, look, as an American, you're being left behind.
Joe Biden, everybody has relief for minority-owned businesses, but they are not helping out anyone who's Caucasian.
And the only people who can help Caucasian is the people of the country.
Americans have to help fellow Americans.
The government is bailing out and corporations are only backing predominantly black-owned businesses.
You go on, you know, the app stores that says buy from a black-owned restaurant, buy from a black-owned store, American Express.
Do you want to shop at black-owned places?
Cool.
That's great.
I like people trying to get people to shop at other places.
And that's really cool.
But sadly, there's over 60% of Americans who aren't black.
I mean, there's more than that, but just like who aren't.
And they're doing it to minority and black-owned businesses now.
And so I said, well, as a white person, since the government is screwing you over, I like to help people out not because of their skin color, but because the government's screwing them over.
And anybody who's being screwed over by the government, I'm going to defend and I'm going to come out for because I don't believe in racism and defending people and attacking and giving priority based on skin color.
But if somebody's being discriminated against, I don't care if you look like me or you don't look like me.
I'm going to support you.
And so this person doesn't look like the way the government wants you to look to give you the support that you need.
So we're going to help them.
And if you don't believe in discrimination, if you believe that people shouldn't be treated differently because of their skin color, if you believe in equal society and you're not a racist, then this is a person we should be helping.
Honestly, this is somebody we should be helping.
Please donate.
I'm honestly telling you that this is not about buying something.
I don't make any money from this.
This is her campaign.
I even told her to make it herself so that no one thinks I'm making it for her because people get weird about those kinds of things.
And it's like, please support her.
And that's honestly just the truth.
I'm going to talk about something else here.
Check this out.
Let me go to this.
Give me one second, Savannah.
Yeah, check that out.
So they're going to make masks permanent.
And I know this.
Check Fox 11 Los Angeles says Apple's latest software update, iOS 14.5, comes with a ton of new features, including the ability for users to unlock their iPhones while still wearing a face mask.
Well, kind of.
So they're trying to make facial recognition technology on your phone be able to recognize you with a face mask.
Asian hatred is close to my heart because here it's slightly offensive.
We make it an aim to hire people who are often targeted, especially by people like BLM.
You know, like a lot of black people have been beating up Asian people and I feel like this is not a good thing.
So I want to hire somebody.
I want to help Asian-owned businesses or help someone to actually a minority to get to get a job.
And I'm really, really proud of that.
And the thing is, is that unfortunately Apple was discriminating against Asians from the beginning against their privacy because when they created facial recognition technology, specifically Asians were able to open up each other's phones using facial recognition technology.
And people like Ben Shapiro who come out and say, I'm so shocked we're here.
I'm not shocked we're here.
You can't just condition a society for a year to think the world's about to end after telling them that, you know, this might have even helped avert us from, you know, the world ending from climate change.
And then think that all of a sudden a graph that the mainstream media won't even show that I'll get canceled for producing a study from MIT that you can get deleted for talking about that actually is evidence is going to change the course of human history.
America is in the West has embraced totalitarianism.
We aren't going back from this in any way beyond a peaceful divorce.
And that's all I'll say.
And there is no returning because people that are lost are lost.
People that are alive are alive.
More people are waking up, but it'll never be enough because as long as the elections are fortified, the system will always favor the mentally ill and the people who submit to the authority to the regime to the party.
There are less people loyal to the Communist Party in China than are loyal, but they're the ones they don't have any power.
And they also don't have any money because only people with loyalty to the party get the jobs, the opportunities for the power.
Yeah, I mean, these are the same people who told us for decades that people like Gaddafi or Hussein or what have you, Assad, can't be appeased.
And we have to go and we have to invade their countries.
But people like AOC, well, we can reach across the aisle and we can work with them.
It's just not true.
And you mentioned the national divorce.
The biggest objection I hear from the right to this idea is like, but America, there's sort of this like nostalgia to a time in this country where you could have block parties and you could like grill with your neighbors.
That just doesn't exist anymore.
And so if it comes down to like losing some, what is it?
The national park in California with the really big red cedar trees.
If I have to lose that national park to grow up in a country.
Yeah, Sequoia.
If I have to lose that national park to grow up in a country where my son isn't going to be convinced that he should chop his PP off, like I'm willing to take that out.
No, I was just going to say, that's a really good point, what you said.
And I understand the nostalgia of people being like the block parties and things like that because that's so sad.
And when I've only lived in the U.S. for a couple years and half of that time has been COVID and not what America was or what I imagined it to be or what you grow up watching the movies like, oh, in America, and this is how it'll be like.
And so I, and not even being an American, but feel that same nostalgia of that's so sad.
Like, I don't want, I want everything to go back like it was, but you're so right.
