	We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
	Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
	We think too much and feel too little.
	More than machinery, we need humanity.
	We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
	We know things are bad, worse than bad.
	They're crazy. Silence!
	The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come.
	You've got to say, I'm a human being!
	God damn it! My life has value!
	You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
	Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
	Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men.
	Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
	Yeah, thank you, you're beautiful.
	I love you, yes.
	You're beautiful.
	Thank you.
	It's showtime!
	And now, Reality Rant with Jason Burmess.
	And who loves you?
	And who do you love?
	And I love this guy right here.
	It's John Fitch. This is Mixed Martial Mindset.
	Bitch, that's the new intro for the show.
	Liking it, digging it.
	Yeah, I might have to clean it up a little bit.
	Here's the thing. So, all the beats in the background, right?
	There's this album out there from 2008 when, I would say that Nine Inch Nails had a spine, and...
	Trent Reznor was on the correct side of history.
	He put out that whole album that was basically about a future police state, survivalism in the video.
	It was about biological warfare.
	Another part of the police state.
	Rage against the machine became rage for the machine.
	Exactly. Unfortunately.
	But at one point, it's sad.
	They put out this album called Ghosts.
	And it was 36 tracks.
	And it was really more like background music, right?
	Stuff like that. So that's actually three of those tracks.
	And I was supposed to have a Creative Commons license.
	And I'd used it for about, I don't know, A dozen or so shows over the past couple of weeks and not had a problem with it.
	And then just last night when I did my Dave Chappelle broadcast, I got a copyright strike on it.
	And it's from the Null Corporation, which is the corporation they started for this whole underground album thing.
	But it's a real thing. And I'm just like, come on, Trent.
	I mean, seriously, it's not like I'm monetized on YouTube anyway, but I spent a little bit of time putting that together, and now am I going to have to find other beats to mix something else with?
	Give a guy a break.
	We might disagree on a lot of things these days, Trent, but we used to agree.
	At least be willing to have a conversation.
	Yeah, come on.
	A lot going on in the world.
	We're going to talk about Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.
	And really, I don't want to focus on it because it's kind of a distraction.
	But it's what the media is pitching, especially in light of there being...
	Guess what, John? No red wave.
	It's weird how that didn't happen.
	Well, when your voting system is...
	Banana Republic. We don't find out the results of the election on the same day of the election.
	What do you expect?
	What do you expect ever is going to happen?
	That's the most untrustworthy thing you could ever have.
	I mean, somebody put out, somebody tweeted a thing today about, I retweeted it.
	It was the New York Times was having a big, making a big deal about how crazy it is to not know the results of the election on the same day.
	That was like 2016 they put that out.
	Well, here's the thing.
	Now they grease you up.
	They get you all greased up and prepare you.
	It could take weeks.
	It could take weeks to count all the votes.
	We're almost a week. We're almost a week in, and people don't understand.
	There's a few high-profile ones we're seeing, but there's over 20 of these right now, folks.
	It's BS. It's a lie.
	I'm sorry. It is not a safe and secure, trustworthy voting system.
	If you cannot do it all in one day, it's garbage.
	100% garbage. I'll say this.
	With all the technology, with all the resources, with everything we have today, the ease at which people can get to a voting place, it's garbage.
	100% garbage. I just want to see one person, one vote, in person, with identification, on a paper ballot, counted by a human being, checked by another human being, and broadcast...
	If you're okay with making a person show ID and vaccine passport to get a Big Mac, then they can show ID to vote.
	And we can set up a system that's transparent and is extremely hard to corrupt.
	These systems, for a very long time, we're not just talking about 2022.
	We're not just talking about 2020.
	I'm talking 2016.
	I'm talking 2012. I'm going all the way back to 2004 when it was Bush versus Kerry.
	And there's a lot of evidence to suggest that John Kerry won that election because George Bush wasn't very popular.
	For those that are new to the political game, there was a huge backlash there.
	And really, at first, it seemed like, hey, we're getting behind Howard Dean.
	Howard Dean's going to be the guy.
	And then all of a sudden... How did that?
	Oh my God, like the president showed a little bit of enthusiasm, or a candidate that showed a little bit of enthusiasm, and that was enough to disqualify him?
	Well, I'm going to bring it up right now, John, but describe to the people what happened to poor Howard Dean.
	He was at the Iowa caucus or something like that.
	I don't know where he was.
	He was giving a speech and they were talking about winning.
	We're going to Iowa.
	We're going to New York.
	We're going to blah, blah, blah. At the end of it, he goes, yeah!
	That was it. He was pumped up.
	It was good to see. I wasn't a fan of him.
	I wasn't one to pick him for a winner.
	That was the best thing I saw out of him.
	I saw some actual human humanity.
	I saw some humanity in him.
	Well, we've got the clip.
	Let's see if we can go to it.
	Here it comes. Howard Dean.
	You know something? You know something?
	If you had told us one year ago that we were going to come in third in Iowa, we would have given anything for that.
	And you know something?
	You know something? Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin, we're going to South Carolina, and Oklahoma, and Arizona, and North Dakota, and New Mexico, and we're going to California, and Texas, and New York, and we're going to South Dakota, and Oregon, and Washington, and Michigan, and then we're going to Washington DC to take back the White House!
	I love it. I love it.
	That was the best thing he did the entire campaign.
	And people poo-pooed on him.
	I mean, seriously, think about how corrupt the media was even then.
	That's 18 years ago, right?
	That. That.
	And I'm not saying Howard Dean's a good guy, but that essentially destroyed his front-runner status, and they started pushing Kerry exclusively, and they acted like that was an unhinged speech.
	Like you said, that's nothing.
	I mean, who doesn't have that moment?
	I've squealed like a pig.
	Like, so what?
	You know what I mean? It's so bizarre.
	And then John Kerry is now out in Copenhagen with Joe Biden.
	Did you see him walking around in the Cambodian shirts?
	Oh, I saw Trudeau in a...
	In a shirt.
	Bro, they got Biden walking next to him, and Biden doesn't even know where he is.
	He's got this Cambodian shirt on, too.
	And Klaus is...
	Why am I in my pajamas and the sun's out?
	You know, we're going to play that clip next.
	Because that's the show.
	Dementia Joe's fine, but Howard Dean excited?
	Nope. You need to do that meme with Drake.
	Yeah. Get him back to the purpose of me bringing up John Kerry in 2004 and Howard Dean in particular is because they started pushing John Kerry.
	And the country hated Bush and this idea of the Iraq War so much.
	Killed a million people.
	Killed over a million people over lies.
	And not only that, beforehand, let's not act like there wasn't a huge resistance.
	The 9-11 truth movement was starting to come up.
	And outside of that, you had, for instance, Michael Moore doing a video with System of a Down for Boom, which was a massive show of the anti-Iraq protests.
	We could watch that maybe on the uncensored part of the broadcast, but we'll get a copyright strike on YouTube just to Mission accomplished.
	100% in my mind, through that election on purpose.
	These guys were both Yale buddies, Skull and Bones buddies.
	Skull and Bones. I finished the pentavrit.
	Oh, did you? How about that transhumanist ending, huh?
	Not to get off too much topic.
	Oh, man. Yep, yep.
	He gets absorbed into the network.
	Isn't that the most bizarre aspect of that whole show?
	Because they go with all the conspiracy theories throughout.
	They kind of poke fun at everything.
	They drop them in there. I followed all of them.
	Even the QAnon.
	And that turned out to be fake.
	That was hilarious. I mean, even when the quote-unquote crazy character falls down the well, right, takes, what's his name, like the Robert Maxwell character down the well, and he's like, what about her emails?
	Like, that's a jab.
	Those emails are real!
	Yeah. Yeah, it's real though.
	How is that not a real thing?
	How do you just play it off?
	Somebody broke the law severely.
	And that's the problem. I mean, super broke the law.
	It's not a big deal.
	Again, I can poke fun at myself.
	I like comedy.
	I like humor. But at the end of the day, big spoiler alert if you haven't seen it, but I want people to watch the Pentaver.
	I think, honestly, it's the funniest thing that Mike Myers has done since the Austin Powers series.
	There's not a lot of good stuff that's coming out now.
	No. I did actually watch Black Adam with the film.
	Oh yeah, how is it? It was excellent.
	I was super surprised.
	I begrudgingly went to it because my girlfriend, she doesn't like The Rock.
	She's not a fan of The Mineral.
	So she was getting dragged to it with like, okay, whatever.
	My parents were in town.
	We wanted to see a movie, but there wasn't anything.
	There was nothing. There was nothing else to see.
	I was like, well, let's just go to see Black Adam.
	Why not? It's The Rock. Who cares?
	Yeah. And, you know, it was very not very woke.
	There was a few things mentioned, but not bad.
	Only a couple cringes in there and the whole thing.
	It was actually a really good story.
	I liked it. Okay.
	I mean, it's a total little boy movie, but, like...
	It was cool. Well, I'll tell you what.
	I didn't hate Shazam.
	You know, kind of like the precursor.
	I love the first one.
	I love Shazam. I thought it was great.
	I saw it twice.
	I thought it was actually pretty fun.
	Pretty well done. Good story.
	Start to end. Set up Black Adam.
	Like, yeah, it was fun. I'm with you, man.
	Listen, I'm down for entertainment at times, right?
	We got to be able to have that certain thing.
	But with all this, you know, bizarreness going on where John Kerry is actually running more of the country at this point, right, after throwing that election, that's really where we're at.
	And look, it's holiday season, everybody.
	Oh, by the way, they're gouging everybody.
	Have you seen this? They're not going to run more flights.
	And New York to L.A. flight holiday season during Christmas, you book it right now, is it grander more?
	Grand or more.
	They're not playing around.
	You don't think they're going to try to restrict your movement, folks?
	That's what's coming next.
	That's what the COP27 is.
	Check this story out, Fitch.
	We've got to touch a little bit on that.
	I don't know if you have plans on it, but the FTX situation.
	That could be a government-staged thing also.
	Well, have you heard what the conspiracy theory is?
	Well, there's ties between the guy, the young guy who's running it, and donating $50 million to the Democratic Party.
	There's evidence of them and money in Ukraine, so it sounds like there's some kind of money laundering and stuff going on.
	I'm not real sure. They're talking about MKUltra, and that main guy was a part of MKUltra.
	What? Possibly. I didn't see that.
	It could be complete QAnon type nonsense, but I did see that on a couple of threads that I've been looking at.
	There could be some link with that.
	I can't remember the guy's name, but the top guy who's at the center of all this, he may have been like an MKUltra guy.
	And then they're saying that this could be a whole staged government thing because they want to shake everybody's confidence in Bitcoin and crypto so that everybody welcomely goes to the central bank digital currency.
	So that's a slight variation from what I'm seeing.
	And I want to make this extremely clear.
	I'm not making any accusations.
	I'm telling you what I'm reading.
	Just hearing rumors in the rumor mill scuttlebutt.
	It's just scuttlebutt. We need the dust to settle a little more.
	I'm going to tell everybody right now, I haven't looked at this enough.
	Like John, I've seen some threads.
	So here's my take on what Seems to be going on.
	From what I'm seeing, this guy supposedly pledged a billion dollars to the Democratic Party and these other NGOs, apparently.
	I don't know whether that's true or not, but that was kind of the deal that was made behind the scenes.
	And he only gave, I didn't hear 50, I heard 40 million dollars in donations.
	Now, there's the one angle that you could say, well, he didn't pay his cut to the cartel.
	And they set a certain number, and that wasn't going to cut it, and they decided to destroy him for it.
	You know, because, as you know, John...
	All these markets essentially, especially when you're talking about digital zeros and ones, can be manipulated.
	Even the stock market obviously has been manipulated openly.
	And the gamer deal where they were able to boost up certain stocks and movie theater stocks shows you the system can be gamed.
	The same is true in crypto. So there's that angle.
	Maybe he didn't pay the cut.
	Let's do him in. Okay?
	Now, there's also the other angle that people got too greedy within the system.
	It became too much of a Ponzi scheme.
	And a group of those people just decided to cut out.
	And they didn't really want to burn this guy.
	But at the same time, they weren't going to take the losses once they saw where the exchange was going.
	That's totally possible.
	Any way you look at it, it's going to be more regulation on, like you said, the crypto market and a movement towards CBDCs and blockchain technology that's instituted by government organizations, probably backed by the United Nations at this point, or the IMF, or another global, or the World Bank, etc.
	Those type of organizations, I think, are going to be at the core.
	Here's a hot take that I watched.
	Real quick, I like things in order to save them on Twitter, because it puts it in the like folder or whatever thing, so I go back and look at it later.
	There was a big long thread on the FTX situation that I liked, and it's gone.
	It's no longer in my liked folder.
	It's no longer there. I was going to look for that guy's name.
	Wait a minute, bro. I thought you just told me that Elon Musk saved Twitter, bro.
	You're telling me there might be some bad news.
	It's been nuked. It is not.
	That thread is no longer here.
	This is bizarre.
	Wow. Well, I'll tell you what.
	So here's a hot take I watched yesterday on the subject.
	Andrew Tate, love him or hate him or whatever, he's all over the internet.
	And I saw he was saying something about the FTX guy.
	And I know that, you know, he's a traveler.
	He's got money. He's been around pretty rich people.
	Let's see what he's got to say about this.
	He said something really interesting.
	I found it. I found it.
	Okay, okay. Oh, you did find it?
	Come on, bitch. What are you trying to do?
	You try to spend disinformation.
	I was scared, bro. I was like, what is happening?
	Real time? Getting me.
	Right. So his take was this.
	He goes, you know what?
	After a certain amount of money, it's just a number.
	He goes, take it from me, somebody that's owned all these properties, travels the world, can get private jets, all sorts of cars.
	He goes, a lot of people are going to look at me and they're going to say that I'm the greedy one, I'm the selfish one.
	He's like, no, no, they got it twisted.
	He goes, I spend my money.
	I give my money to charities.
	I help other people with my money.
	I enjoy my money because I still have some money.
	And he's like, after a certain amount, it's just a number.
	It's a comfort. He goes, guys like that.
	That dress up in a t-shirt and they drive a Corolla and they live in some other like bunk house with people.
	He goes, that's the person that I'm worried about.
	And he goes, because every time I've met a person like that, they're hoarding their money and they're not concerned about those things.
	They're concerned about buying power.
	And buying people. And buying, you know, basically political influence.
	And those are the people that you have to watch.
	Because they're not good people.
	And it really struck me, you know, right away, I thought about the comparison to Warren Buffett.
	Because he's always sold to us as kids as, oh, he's like the frugal billionaire, right?
	He lives in a modest home and he doesn't drive around in a...
	Big car, and he has the ice cream cone, et cetera, et cetera.
	Yeah, they have, like, you know, the no-cap editing videos with all the stuff going on and fast cuts, and they're talking about, oh, he's going to give this much money away this year and this much money away that year, and, like, he's some kind of goody-goody philanthropist, and it's all just fake.
	All these people who are pushing this, like, Jesus complex or whatever, this God complex, trying to save the world, they're all phonies.
	100% phonies. Well, again, the interesting thing to me is, even today, they're given a Bezos fluff piece.
	Have you seen this?
	The Bezos fluff piece...
	Yeah, he's going to give away this much money, blah, blah, blah.
	I've got $12 billion.
	I'm going to give it all away before I die.
	Don't worry. And the hype was that he was given $100 million to the Dolly Parton Foundation.
	Now, guys... Back in the day.
	Dolly Parton is great. And you know what's really the grossest thing about this?
	People are dumb. They think that him giving away billions of dollars is actually going to do more good than him using the billions of dollars to create more businesses that employ more people.
	Well, here's the scam, man.
	It's a scam. Like, giving money away to charity doesn't do as much as, like, giving people a way to sustain themselves.
	It's not the same. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach him how to fish, right?
	But that's the thing, man.
	Think about what you just said. You used a keyword there.
	You used the keyword of sustain.
	You're right. Now, if you wanted a system to actually not only sustain, but encourage growth and life and a better standard of living, what would you do?
	You'd build infrastructure everywhere, okay?
	And when I say infrastructure, I'm talking about running water, electrical grids, the infrastructure that these smaller places need, right?
	You wouldn't be pushing other things.
	We're on YouTube. We gotta be real careful until we go to uncensored, but you wouldn't be pushing other things.
	Now, their version of sustainability is people like yourself and myself and billions of others that have become accustomed to a first world lifestyle is to degrade us and lower our standard of living as sustainable.
	And that's what this COP27 thing is.
	I had a part in my film, Invisible Empire, about COP15 12 years ago.
	And I know it's going to be hard to believe, John, but what if I told you...
	Now, this Copenhagen thing is going on until the 18th.
	It's been going on a while. What if I told you that they decided that they were going to go to Mount Sinai, you know, the legendary place where Moses got the Ten Commandments, and they were going to say a massive prayer and ritual of repentance for their new climate change global religion on behalf of COP27. Mount Sinai, preparing to host Global Climate Summit, a new global religion.
	And we read a lot of it this morning.
	But it's the real deal.
	But this year, there is a greater focus on extending an invitation to religious communities and religious leaders who are believed to play a key role in addressing climate change and criminal justice, which requires a deep transformation within society.
	The call for ceremonial repentance for failing the planet is consequently going to be front and center.
	So these people are bringing back a Gaia-esque religion and blaming human beings for basically destroying the Earth.
	And in the paid portion of the broadcast, by the way, and you can listen to the whole broadcast over on Podbean from this morning, we played...
	Some of Joe Biden's stumbling speech from several days ago.
	It's tough to watch, dude.
	He can barely read off a prompter.
	In 10 minutes, easily stumbled a dozen plus times.
	He doesn't know where he is.
	And he's in a little dictator shirt.
	Here it is, Fitch.
	If you haven't seen it, it's not the best quality, but Jesus Christ.
	Look, he has no idea where he is.
	He doesn't know what's going on.
	Here's Joe Biden with dictator Trudeau and gang and fancy little Cambodian shirts.
	So look, he's like, what's going on?
	I can barely walk. Where am I? Okay, this guy's guiding me.
	Oh, this way. This way?
	Am I going this way? Thank you so much.
	Watch, he grabs the guy behind him.
	God love you. Thanks so much.
	Hey, all right. Thank you for telling me where to go.
	I have no idea what's going on.
	He has no idea who's walking next to him either.
	No clue! You would think that it's just like, hey, why wouldn't I just follow the guy who's supposedly leading Canada?
	Who's wearing a similar shirt to me.
	How sad is that, dude?
	How over the top, in your face, sad is that?
	81 million votes.
	He's number one.
	He did it. So, you know, that's actually a pretty good segue into these two stories and getting into Donnie T and Ronnie D. I mean, this could be a face-off, guys.
	And I could care less.
	I'm not even really a huge DeSantis fan.
	He did the common sense things in his state.
	It's a large state.
	It got a lot of publicity.
	I like my governor much better.
	Yeah, I mean, he's a governor of a tourist state.
	Of course, like, that's death to shut it down.
	You'd have to be an idiot.
	You'd have to be an absolute idiot to shut that down.
	Like, nope, we're not going to make any money in this state at all.
	Like, no.
	It's not like they have industry, like the tech industry like California or something.
	I mean, yeah, exactly. You don't have the stock market like New York.
	Like, they don't have... You cut tourism, they're done.
	So, you look at this whole, you know, there was no red wave inside the MAGA heartlands.
	This is how they're... They really don't want Trump to run.
	A lot of money's going behind DeSantis.
	And look at these people.
	Of course, look, there it is.
	He's too old.
	Come on, guys. He's old.
	I'm sorry. Let him be your cheerleader.
	Let him back on Twitter. But, like, he's too old.
	I don't want some geriatric president.
	Stop. Yeah, but he's going to do it, man.
	You know, unless he's being brought up on a criminal investigation, right?
	Like an actual one where they don't let him run.
	Or he's just not here anymore.
	You know, he is an older guy.
	You never know. Like, things happen.
	There's no doubt now.
	Everybody's saying it. He's running.
	You know what I mean? He's saying it, basically.
	He's taking shots at DeSantis.
	And I just want to show...
	Again, they bring in the Confederate flag.
	They find the Confederate flag family.
	They find the seminal redneck pose here.
	But honestly, this is what you see across the country.
	Like, that's the thing.
	You can deny it all you want, but he was insanely popular, and Dave Chappelle acknowledged that.
	Meanwhile... I think a lot of it, too, is he's popular from a lot of people because he's an FU to the establishment, and he is somebody who gets so far under the left's skin, it's fun to watch.
	Well, did you see Chappelle's opening monologue yet?
	I didn't watch all of it, but I'm kind of...
	I sent you a video on Twitter.
	Yeah, I saw that. Hold on. I'll bring it up.
	It's jokes. He's stolen jokes.
	He's stealing jokes. Oh, it's Chappelle stealing jokes?
	Yes, Chappelle stealing jokes.
	He stole a number of jokes from Owen Benjamin.
	Is that right? Yes, and the video that I sent you is Owen Benjamin video of him telling the joke in like 2018, and then Dave Chappelle side by side telling it in 2022.
	And everybody praises Dave Chappelle for saying the joke, but when Owen Benjamin said it in 2018, he got banned everywhere.
	Taken off of every platform.
	You have to dig real deep in the internet to try to find him.
	Well, he's on Rockfin again.
	I think, remember, he got banned off of Rockfin, and then I guess he had Martin on the show, and then Martin addressed it.
	And I guess as of like two, maybe even three weeks ago now, he is back on Rockfin.
	I've got the clip up.
	And I'm not saying that I'm, oh, I'm all 100% Owen Benjamin's right about everything, but let him speak.
	Now, this joke isn't going to get me kicked off of YouTube, is it?
	I think it's like the LBG whatever one.
	The L's are cool.
	Everybody likes the L's.
	We might save that for the spicy end of the broadcast.
	I think that's what we're going to have to do.
	It was the Jenner one.
	It was like, what's her name?
	Jenner won the woman of the year and she wasn't even a woman for a whole year.
	Oh, okay. Oh, okay.
	Who told that joke in 2018?
	Chappelle stole it and reused it in 2022 and everybody thought it was the greatest.
	You know what? Maybe we should just get off of YouTube right now and then we'll play it.
	I think that's what we're going to do.
	Folks, I love you over on YouTube, but there's just so many restrictions.
	I can't afford another strike.
	I do want to let everybody know that you can come over 8am to 10am across my platforms or at redvoicemedia.com.
	And from 8 to 9, it's totally free.
	We've had great guests. We had Patrick Byrne on.
	Again, we're talking about elections, things that you can't say on YouTube or you get banned.
	That's on the premium section.
	Today, the two weeks ago premium second hour has been released.
	You can support me there. You can support me on Rockfin.
	You can support John over at johnfitch.net.
	John, what do you got going on over there?
	I have a Learn to Fight video up on YouTube today.
	All those go up on Rockfin.
	Rockfin doesn't take my videos down.
	I had a great John Fish Knows Nothing last night where I got to talk about the Adesanya fights and the other two UFC 281 fights in depth.
	I've got Fitch Pilled videos coming on Thursdays on Rockfin and YouTube until YouTube kicks me off.
	But yeah, I got a lot of stuff going on.
	Sign up for the newsletter. And check out my programs.
	I also have a new Learn to Fight class that I'm going to start doing here in San Jose on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
	It starts tomorrow night. Fighting is fighting.
	The objectives change, but the fight is still the fight.
	The techniques and how you apply things are the same.
	So, on top of us going over here, I do want to remind everybody, if you are a Rockfin subscriber to John, myself, or anybody over there, please come over.
	Watch it over on Rockfin.
	But otherwise, you can catch this right now live over on Twitter and Rumble.
	If you're not subscribed over on Rumble, that's another great place to subscribe because we're growing over there.
	YouTube, it's been real.
	It's been fun. But we'll see you later.
	So that's it for YouTube.
	Let's do it.
	Let's bring up Owen Benjamin and the joke-stealing allegations.
	Caitlyn Jenner is woman of the year, but hasn't been a woman for a full year.
	Caitlyn Jenner was voted woman of the year.
	Her first year as a woman.
	This is who I feel bad for, because you got the LBGT, right?
	Yeah. There's more every day, I know.
	But I'll tell you when it happened.
	You know, you hear all those letters together all the time.
	LBGT, LBGT. It all started with the L's.
	Of course next to the G's in the passenger seat is the L's.
	Oh great, now the B's came in.
	The B's are people for a loop.
	You never really know if you can go camping with them, but they're cool.
	Like, you know, they're like, well, they're anybody.
	They're like, anybody?
	They're like, anybody.
	If it's one thing that the L's and the G's agree on, it's that the B's are fucking gross.
	Thanks for watching!
	They seem greedy to the L's and the G's.
	You know what I mean? They're just sitting in the back seat like, yeah, man, I'll fuck anybody in this car.
	What's going on, man?
	I hear ya, but I don't know.
	That's not like Mencia level.
	Not Mencia level, but I mean, it's still like...
	I'll say this. It's still iffy.
	But it's also a situation where, even if it's not a stolen joke, there's similar jokes.
	They're very similar. Almost identical.
	But one guy gets praised.
	One guy gets canceled.
	I'll agree with you there, but if you watch Chappelle's overall message, right?
	First of all, they gave him a 15-minute monologue, right?
	Getting back to what you were saying about Trump.
	He called Trump an honest liar.
	And he basically established, he said, let me tell you what I mean.
	He came out in the debates and he basically shocked the world.
	You know, he basically said things you were not allowed to say.
	You weren't K-Fab. You were saying things you weren't supposed to say out loud, man.
	Yeah, he said...
	You're not allowed to call out the pro wrestling fakeness.
	He said, yeah. He said, this is all a rigged system.
	And then the moderator asked him how it was a rigged system.
	And he goes, because I was in it and I used it.
	And my friends use it too.
	And, you know, I was part of it and I donated to these people.
	And then he said, you know, basically the next thing that was out there was about...
	What was he talking about?
	He was talking about...
	I can't remember now because my buddy's calling me and it's distracting me.
	He was talking about...
	I hate when that happens on the show.
	Damn it. I'm totally losing it now.
	He was talking about the fact that he didn't pay taxes.
	They tried to throw that in Trump's face.
	And he goes, that makes me smart.
	He goes, if you want me to pay taxes, change the tax code.
	And he goes, but I know you won't.
	Because all the people who are my buddies and myself pay for your campaigns and pay for everything, and it benefits us.
	So he basically said he came out of the house, he said things you weren't allowed to say, and then he went back in the house and did whatever.
	In a lot of cases that's true, but I would say this, at least he was a populist.
	And at least he was against a lot of this form of globalism, and at least he was getting us out of, what was it, the Paris Climate Accords, and wasn't going to things like COP, and he wasn't going to go pray at Mount Sinai for a global Gaia religion, hopefully.
	Not the best, not the worst.
	And at least Chappelle gave him that due, but really what's getting Chappelle the heat, and honestly got in...
	Oh, and Benjamin the Heat is the quote-unquote Jew discussion.
	And if you haven't seen it, you know, nobody else, I promise you, John, nobody else could have got away with what Dave Chappelle did on Saturday Night Live.
	In fact, as he walked out, he literally read a prepared statement before he started.
	That really sums up the whole thing.
	But you know what? It was really, really good stuff.
	My buddy's still calling me probably because he's outside my door and locked out.
	Fitch, take it away for a second on this part of the broadcast for a minute, okay?
	For which part? Right now!
	Take it away for a second!
	Well, let's talk about the fights this weekend, right?
	We had Adesanya losing to Piera, which is really, it's outstandingly gross kind of for me because it's supposed to be a sport.
	I say all the time, it's not a sport, it's a production.
	It is exhibition fights run through promotions.
	It's not a full sport.
	There's no free There's no free competition between athletes.
	There's no free competition between the promotions because of the UFC monopoly.
	And you get situations like last night or Saturday night where you have a longtime champ in Israel Adesanya Who people are comparing to, you know, the best 185 pounder since Anderson Silva.
	And he loses to a guy with seven MMA fights at the time.
	That was his eighth. And they're like, oh, he's kickboxed or whatever.
	But this guy has zero ground.
	Adesanya outwrestled him, made him look bad on the ground, terrible on the ground.
	But yet this guy is still able to win the UFC, the highest title on the land.
	This is the problem with the promotion controlling the title and ranks.
	You don't know who's actually good.
	You don't know if it's just pro wrestling crap.
	Some guy that they like and they can sell and is easily marketable who gets give me fights because they're the ones who control the rank.
	And then you have this situation where a guy comes in out of kickboxing Isn't even undefeated.
	He comes in and his fourth UFC fight is fighting for a title.
	He didn't have to beat eight guys to get there.
	He didn't have to prove himself. They just gifted him the spot.
	And he's better at kickboxing than the kickboxer who they were pushing before.
	It's not MMA. It's not a sport.
	It's gross to me. It's really gross.
	And the fact that the commission would allow Frankie Edgar Who's gotten knocked out viciously, like three or four times in a row, fight a guy on a seven-fight win streak.
	A young, hungry guy, up and coming, trying to put himself in title contention.
	That was no business whatsoever putting that fight together.
	You couldn't tell me there weren't some other older names, some other guys who were close to retirement, some other guys who maybe have had knockouts?
	That he could have fought? Instead, no.
	Let's risk his life to put this fight together.
	The commission is there to protect the athletes.
	That's why they exist.
	But they bow down to the promotion.
	They bow down to the UFC every single time.
	And now you got somebody like Frankie Edgar, who we all love, getting his brain scrambled.
	It's gross. The athletic commission should be absolutely embarrassed.
	Shame on you. Shame on you.
	Well, let's talk about the Edgar situation first, because I think you're 100% right on that.
	It was very upsetting.
	First of all, I don't know how they still had a ranking on Edgar's name.
	They had him ranked 12th.
	Because it's pro wrestling. It's not a sport.
	They're promotional exhibitions.
	The fights are promotional exhibitions.
	It is not a free-flowing sport.
	If it was a free-flowing sport...
	The top guy with a rank would get the opportunity to fight for the title regardless of what promoter he fights for.
	The belts would not be controlled by the promotion.
	There would be a sanctioning body who controlled the belt separately.
	Otherwise, you have conflict of interest and you have these type of ridiculous fights happening.
	That one was upsetting.
	The Adesanya fight itself.
	Adesanya, to me, had it three rounds to one.
	I would totally agree with you that he out-wrestled Pereira, and Izzy's wrestling is not great, as we've seen in the past, when he has been taken to the ground.
	He also was only really getting caught when he was up against the cage, and it was really in the fifth round.
	Yeah, the first guy he fought that was, you know, bigger.
	He was longer and bigger, stronger.
	He was able to push him into the fence.
	Izzy couldn't just use his range and length to stay outside and run away.
	Piero was bigger. In order for Izzy to get inside to hit him, he had to get past what Piero was throwing at him.
	And I think that you make a great point that this guy basically, like you said, it was the fourth UFC fight.
	Sean Strickland is the only other ranked guy I believe that he's fought.
	He did lose his first MMA fight by submission probably because of the ground game, of course.
	We don't know how much that's developed, but it didn't look great with Adesanya.
	He didn't know how to attack the hands when he tried to stand up.
	He didn't know. You're a white belt, maybe one stripe, if that.
	If you don't even know that.
	So, that brings in other guys in that division, like Martin Vittori, Robert Whittaker, that have legit ground games.
	But, at the same time, those guys, when they fought Adesanya, they didn't even try to grapple.
	So, what's your take on that division now?
	Who's the guy that's going to end up...
	First of all, what's the UFC pitch?
	Because, like you said, it's pro wrestling.
	They probably try to pitch a rematch right away if the pay-per-view numbers were good, right?
	I would think so, because that could be, you know, it was a close fight.
	You know, Piero was definitely saved by the bell in the fourth.
	You know, ten more seconds, that fight's over.
	I agree. I agree.
	It's an easy sell to push that fight to happen again.
	But I don't know, man.
	It's just very weird to me that these guys who, they have a clear path on how to beat Adesanya with the wrestling.
	Even Piera was able to take Adesanya down.
	Piera scored a takedown, right?
	And had some ground control.
	Like, I didn't see Vittorio supposed to be, oh, everybody's like, oh, he's got wrestling, he's got wrestling, he's such a good wrestler.
	He didn't take a single shot.
	He didn't force clinch or try to get one situation where he could get a takedown.
	They just rush in and chase him around and try to throw that one big punch.
	Very frustrating. So, I guess moving on to some upcoming fights, what do you think about Ponzinibbio versus Lawler, for instance?
	Do you think that makes sense?
	I mean, Lawler versus Bob Arena was obviously a tough fight.
	Robbie's still a tough guy.
	He hasn't lost in...
	He's got so many miles on him.
	I know. So many miles.
	But... In a lot of these rankings, they're nothing to do with ability.
	They're everything to do with popularity.
	It's all about popularity.
	And to me, that's insulting to the fighters.
	Because how many fighters do we not get to see?
	How many fighters don't get pushed or don't get signed because they don't have a big enough Instagram following?
	They don't get enough views on TikTok, so you don't get to move up the ladder.
	I mean, you're not wrong.
	I've seen it. I've seen lower level guys who are trying to get into the smaller venues, right?
	Like the LFA or Cage Warriors, the ones that have direct lines into the UFC because they're on the Fight Pass.
	Those organizations are turning down guys who are killers, but they grapple too much.
	So they're not even given an opportunity to get into the smaller show that feeds them into the bigger show.
	It's like, how many guys are out there?
	How many killers walked away from the sport and gave it up because they couldn't get anywhere because, oh, the promoters don't like you?
	Because it's not a sport.
	Promotional exhibitions. I mean, what's the solution though?
	Because you have so many- Ali-Act.
	Well- Ali-Act.
	Ali-Act to MMA. Independent titles, independent rankings, full transparency on all the economic transactions that take place around the fight and for the fight.
	What's spent on what and who makes what.
	The answer's there.
	We have the answer. You see my Jake Paul video that I tweeted out the other day?
	Nope, tell me about it. Watch that.
	I'll send that one to you too.
	Okay, send it. But I break that down on how everybody who's bitching and moaning about, oh, boxing's dead.
	It's not dead. You look at the numbers.
	They're doing better since 2000, since the passing of the Ali Act.
	They're doing way better. They're making way more money than they ever have.
	Did you just send me, you sent me FTX. Yeah, I'm gonna send you.
	I'm gonna scroll down and find it here.
	Thumbs it up, subscribe, and share.
	Guys, we're rumbling right now.
	I am going to release on some of the other platforms pieces of the second hour from two weeks ago.
	We will be live again at 8 a.m.
	Eastern Time tomorrow through Thursday.
	And tomorrow we're also going to play the Dan Dicks of Press for Truth video.
	All right. So let's see what we got.
	It'll take... Because we've been talking about this stuff a lot.
	They don't know what they're talking about.
	So this is John Fitch knows nothing, everybody.
	We're going to bring it up right now.
	They might mean well, but I don't think they know what they're talking about.
	We're going to play this. But it's going to take a while, I hope you know, because you're not going to be able to get people who are assigned to the UFC. You're going to have to...
	Yes, I will. I don't think you're going to be able to do it.
	They're all going to have to join the union at once.
	Yes, and we're going to raise $50 million, and the fighters who are fighting check to check, we will fund them so that they don't have to be obedient to the UFC. We will fund...
	Their salaries or their career earnings.
	You are wild, brother.
	They're coming for his neck.
	His whole organization. These guys have no...
	So, you know, again, I think that I saw them talking about this, right?
	Yeah. First off, he has no idea what he talks about.
	They use association and union interchangeably.
	They don't understand the difference between the two.
	And then he's talking about salaries.
	Fighters don't make salaries.
	We're not employees. We win purses.
	We get purses per our fight.
	We have promotional contracts.
	And then we get fight contracts.
	We get bout agreements. There's no leverage.
	I talk about it in the video. There's absolutely zero leverage for the fighters to be able to act as a union.
	You can't do it.
	If you don't walk lockstep with what the UFC wants, they'll give you the toughest fight in the crappiest circumstance to make sure that you lose.
	And if you win that one, they'll give you the next worst fight.
	And the second you lose, they have the right to cut you.
	And they will. They did it to Leslie Smith.
	Well, they did it to you.
	You have zero leverage. The only way to have leverage is the Ali Act and with the lawsuit that we're pushing.
	So you think that everything that Jake Paul's doing right now is going to kind of be in vain.
	Doesn't he have other fighters behind him in this?
	He's either doing this for just clout and really does not understand what he's talking about at all because he hasn't reached out to it.
	The MMAFA is the only group of fighters who've done anything and accomplished anything.
	Everybody else talks about, oh, these guys are getting attention.
	These guys are drawing attention to whatever.
	The attention doesn't do shit.
	It hasn't changed anything. How many other organizations have pushed forward in drawing attention to the problem?
	A bunch of them. Five, six in the last ten years?
	Only one has actually made any changes whatsoever.
	That's us. He hasn't reached out.
	He hasn't asked, hey guys, you've put over a decade of work into this.
	Do you have any input?
	Nothing. Crickets.
	So you think that's kind of like Barnum and Bailey, though?
	It could be that they are working with the UFC. Because if they can trick the fighters into signing into a union with the UFC, the UFC's monopoly becomes solidified forever.
	It kills the lawsuit.
	It kills the Ali Act.
	The UFC fighters will never, ever, ever make more than 20%.
	So that's the ultimate conspiracy theory, John.
	They will not ever have a collective bargaining agreement that means crap because there's no leverage.
	They can't leverage anything against them because you sign a promotional agreement, right, that locks you in.
	Your promotional agreement doesn't start until your first fight.
	So the sunset clause, which they could get rid of if they monopolize, won't even kick in until your first fight.
	If you try to strike, If you don't have a bout agreement, you don't have a fight lined up.
	There's no fight for you.
	So they just let you sit.
	You sit and rot. If you do have a bout agreement signed, that's an agreement saying, I will fight this guy on this day for this much money.
	If you strike, if you try to sit out, you're getting sued.
	You are getting sued for breach of contract.
	It's against the law.
	You can't do it. And here's another kicker I forgot to put in that video.
	When you sign your promotional agreement, you agree to any disputes with contracts with UFC, you will go to an arbitration court.
	An arbitration court is a judge who's picked by the UFC in Las Vegas.
	It's the UFC's judge, and you have to pay for it.
	Where's your leverage? What are you going to do?
	What collective bargaining? It doesn't exist.
	You can't do it. ALI Act, Lawsuit, Athletic Association.
	Those are the pillars.
	That's what changes the game.
	Nothing else. Period.
	I dare anybody to say another way.
	You're basically saying ultimate conspiracy theory is that they're the Trojan horse that's colluding behind the scenes, especially because they haven't reached out to people like yourself that have had skin in the game for, God, over half a decade now, right? We had 58 Congress people sign on to our bill.
	We had a subcommittee hearing.
	We had a subcommittee hearing.
	It was going to get passed through to the Senate.
	We were going to have a Senate committee hearing on passing the Ali Act.
	To all combat sports athletes.
	Trump got money from Dana.
	Trump contacted the lead whip of the subcommittee hearing and they buried it so it never came up to a vote.
	And now the original signer of the bill, Mark Wayne Mullen, he's a Republican.
	He's got pressure on him not to push that anymore.
	So we're floating around trying to find another person to lead the charge.
	Well, guess what?
	If the fighters don't all stand up together, the senators, the congresspeople, they're not going to do anything because they got money coming in.
	So you have the fighters are silent, so they're like, ah, I guess the fighters don't really care.
	The fighters must be okay with the way it is, so I might as well take this money.
	Well, I'm sure they're always looking, I might as well take this money no matter what, like highest bidder style, and that's another problem.
	Yeah, but when you have a bunch of people making noise, if all the fighters stepped up and started making noise, it would look really bad if they ignored those fighters and just took the money.
	You shine a light on the dirtiness.
	That's what that is.
	But we don't have enough guys to charge or shine the light.
	It is unfortunate, and unfortunately there's a lot of dark things going on in the world.
	We cover them here on Mixed Martial Mindset as well as fights.
	I believe Bellator returns next weekend with their 205 $1 million tournament.
	Who is it? Nemcov versus Anderson?
	Let's look it up. Yeah, didn't that fight somebody got cut or headbutted or...
	And they had to postpone it.
	Yeah, it got weird. So yeah, they're redoing that fight right here.
	And then Pitbull versus Nurmagomedov.
	And that is... It's going to be interesting because Pitbull is tough.
	I love it. I mean, again, Bellator, they're doing a piss-poor job of...
	Promoting. Yeah.
	Like, you never know. I follow all their socials, right?
	And I never know when their fight's on.
	And it's very suspect. I never hear it.
	I never see it. Because they're paramount, right?
	And I love the fact that they're doing a Ryzen New Year's Eve card.
	Why aren't you promoting that to the Hill as well, even though it's the middle of November, when you know the UFC isn't going to have a New Year's Eve card?
	That's just not going to be there.
	And it's a great way to get...
	Does it make any sense? You want to know what my theory is on this?
	Let's hear it. Bellator doesn't make money from viewership.
	That's not how they make their money.
	They somehow are tricking, are greasing over investors.
	As long as they can make their product look like it's going to do something, they can get more investors to keep putting money into them.
	Then they go to another group of investors and get those guys to put money into them.
	They just keep finding new investors.
	They keep just milking the investors.
	Because how else?
	These guys are supposed to make money off of eyeballs on the fights.
	How do you do that if you're not promoting anything?
	You just went to their website.
	Their website's terrible. Compare that to the Bare Knuckle website.
	The Bare Knuckle website makes it really easy to find the fights and fighters and what's going on.
	But like, Bellator's not?
	What's going on? It's very fishy.
	It smells. Well, we're delving into the stinky.
	Guys, I'm a documentary filmmaker, Loose Change Final Cut, Fabled Enemies, Invisible Empire, A New World, Order to Find and Shade the Motion Picture.

	They'll give you a warning.
	A little warning will pop up on the screen saying, are you sure you want to follow this account?
	Because it's been known to tell things that go against fact checkers or whatever.
	So you've got to put the whole name in the search.
	Otherwise it won't come up.

	So, yeah. Dangerous, Fitch.
	Fitch, I will see you next Monday for some Mixed Martial Mindset, brother.
	Take it easy. Alright.
