On today's show, Dan tells Jordan all about a SPECIAL REPORT from sometimes guest host of the Alex Jones Show, Jon Rappoport, about "mind control on college campuses." Topics covered include: How many years of research does it take to take a quote or statistic out of context? How hard is it to hang a picture? Is Jon Rappoport Batman? Is "safe space culture" a real thing?

|
Thanks for holding. | |
| Hello, Alex. | ||
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a huge fan. | |
| I love your work. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Hello. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| This is a podcast where I listen to too much Infowars, and Alex Jones in particular. | ||
| And I have no idea what the hell he's talking about. | ||
| And I have wrangled, much like a wrestler out there on the planes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I got my lasso out and I roped myself some clips. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| From Alex's show. | ||
| And I'm going to play them for you, Jordan. | ||
| That's brutal. | ||
| And then we'll discuss the implications and the insanity. | ||
| To be found therein, I'd like to thank everybody who has followed us on Twitter. | ||
| I'd like to thank all of the people who are getting on board. | ||
| Our numbers are through the roof! | ||
| Really? | ||
| Statistically speaking, yes. | ||
| You lost them all whenever you did that lasso bit right there. | ||
| They all left. | ||
| You know, I'm like the Democrats. | ||
| I'm like, we might lose a few elites, but we pick up some middle America folks. | ||
| I'm talking their language with the lassos. | ||
| Wow, you're pandering to the people from Kansas now. | ||
| Hey, boy, I'll tell you what. | ||
| I would start talking like some of the weird slack-jawed hillbillies I used to do karaoke with. | ||
| That would be fun if all of a sudden for one episode we just had an affectation the whole time. | ||
| Hillbilly Dan? | ||
| Never spoke of it. | ||
| Not once. | ||
| Just put out the episode in character. | ||
| The next episode, again, never mention it. | ||
| Donate to our Patreon at patreon.com slash freezing point and I'll do an entire episode as a hillbilly. | ||
| We'll do an entire hillbilly episode. | ||
| Like those old news radio episodes where suddenly they were on the Titanic. | ||
| For no reason. | ||
| That would be our season finale. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds good. | ||
| Hillbilly season finale to Knowledge Fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Because we're not sure we're getting picked up for another season. | ||
| Well. | ||
| We might die. | ||
| Neither is America. | ||
| America's not sure yet whether or not we're going to do season two. | ||
| That's a fair point. | ||
| The studios are still talking. | ||
| It's going to be a fight. | ||
| But much like a special Hillbilly episode today, it is a special episode where actually this is going to be the, I guess, the David Knight episode that we did had no Alex in it. | ||
| No, no, tragically. | ||
| There was a little Alex? | ||
| Oh, no, you're agreeing with me. | ||
| I'm agreeing with you, yes. | ||
| This episode will also tragically have no Alex in it. | ||
| Well, let's hope it won't. | ||
| Let's wait until we finish recording it before we denote it as a tragedy. | ||
| No matter how good this goes, you can always use some Alex. | ||
| All right, that's a good point. | ||
| This is a situation where Alex, every day, I've mentioned this before, every day leaves. | ||
| During the fourth hour of his show. | ||
| His show is four hours long and he lets someone else host the fourth hour. | ||
| And this week, or this last week on Thursday, he had a gentleman by the name of John Rappaport who was hosting the fourth hour. | ||
| He's a guy who runs a blog called nomorefakenews.com. | ||
| Which you can go to, and it looks like an Angel City's page. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Way back when... | |
| Oh, man. | ||
| It looks like something that someone would link to from their MySpace. | ||
| It's a very old, clunky, bad-looking site. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| He links to a number of things. | ||
| Well, the better the sites look, the more you know they're fake news. | ||
| This is underground reality coming directly to you through AOL.com CDs, right? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| I'm sure that's how he gets the internet. | ||
| He is a guy who doesn't believe HIV causes AIDS. | ||
| He's a guy who has some literal belief in the Matrix. | ||
| These sorts of things, you can pay $125, and he will send you a huge 10-hour presentation on any of these subjects. | ||
| For an hourly rate, that's not good. | ||
| That's a bad deal. | ||
| $1.25 an hour? | ||
| Yeah, that's a bad... | ||
| He is working sweatshop labor to bring you these conspiracy theories. | ||
| And that's not even counting the, like, hundreds of pages of documents. | ||
| Self-written, I'm sure, that he's sending along. | ||
| No, he outsourced them to the Unabomber. | ||
| That's the kind of thing... | ||
| That's a sort of broad sketch of the man you can find on his website, is HIV, AIDS, denial. | ||
| That's such a weird one. | ||
| Why would you do that? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he's found sources that prove things. | ||
| Yeah, but I mean, what good is that? | ||
| Eh, never mind. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Lest we go down this path, let's not. | ||
| Yeah, we've already gone too far down his... | ||
| AngelFire website. | ||
| This gentleman has a ridiculous gray beard and broadcasts into Alex's show. | ||
| I'm going to post a picture of what it looks like when he's broadcasting over on our new Tumblr. | ||
| Oh, we have a new Tumblr page. | ||
| Which you can find at knowledgefight.tumblr.com. | ||
| I'll post a picture of John Rappaport broadcasting. | ||
| And if you look to the bottom left-hand side of the screen, there's a picture, a framed picture. | ||
| That he has not put up on the wall. | ||
| And it's been sitting there for about nine months. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| If you watch him... | ||
| If you watch him regularly, you see that that picture has sat in the same place. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| The entire time. | ||
| The entire time. | ||
| It's leaning against the wall. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He just does never put it up. | ||
| He just cannot put it up. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| No more fake news. | ||
| No more putting off putting up this picture. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| How about that, Rappaport? | ||
| So anyway, John Rappaport gets in there and he has got... | ||
| A bombshell story. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| That is up on Infowars.com. | ||
| This is where it's been published. | ||
| Also at nomorefakenews.com. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| That's cross-pollination. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| He's like a little busy bee. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he has this bombshell story that is about universities and what's really going on on college campuses. | ||
| Thank God somebody finally found out. | ||
| I thought it was just sex. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| That would have been a better report. | ||
| These kids be fucking! | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| That would have worked perfectly. | ||
| InfoWars readers and listeners would have hated that. | ||
| Would have scared the shit out of these old people. | ||
| Yeah, they don't like people having sex. | ||
| Did you know that they found a new way to have sex? | ||
| No way. | ||
| In the butthole. | ||
| In the butthole? | ||
| In your anus. | ||
| But that's exit only. | ||
| That's at least what my grandma told me when I was seven. | ||
| Now I'm having fantasies of that being John Rapoport's next report. | ||
| So, you might be asking yourself, why the fuck are we covering this? | ||
| We're an Alex Jones-centric podcast. | ||
| I was absolutely about to ask that. | ||
| And we're going to get to why this is such an offensive, horrible thing that is being broadcast on the air. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| As we go through, you'll start to see the picture of why this is terrible. | ||
| I feel like I'm going to figure it out real quick. | ||
| But also, I think it's time, now that we've established our format, and we're pretty comfortable, that it might be time to start dipping our toe into... | ||
| Who are these cadre of weirdos that Alex always has on his show? | ||
| Because we're working on exposing the bullshit of Alex, but we also should be like... | ||
| Also, don't trust this asshole. | ||
| You gotta work from the ground up, too. | ||
| You can't just focus on the Don. | ||
| Let's call him the Don. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is. | |
| The Don of Infowars. | ||
| Yeah, he's the Don King. | ||
| We gotta go after his underbosses. | ||
| Yeah, so this is one of his chopos. | ||
| John Rappaport, I'll let him start this off with his breaking bombshell report vis-a-vis college campuses. | ||
| I'm vamping because my... | ||
| Clip is loading. | ||
| Oh, professional podcaster! | ||
| We are. | ||
| I'm a professional. | ||
| My phone's not. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| It'll load up. | ||
| Dead air. | ||
| That would be a great... | ||
| That would be the best Jeopardy theme song to do while they're waiting for the final Jeopardy thing. | ||
| Wait, dead air? | ||
| Dead air. | ||
| Dead air. | ||
| I take this as a personal attack, but now my clip is ready. | ||
| So here's John Rappaport. | ||
| Take it away, baby! | ||
| John Rappaport sitting in here for Alex in the fourth hour. | ||
| I'm going to have a big investigative report here, and I'm probably going to take up most of the hour with it. | ||
| Denter teeth. | ||
| The article, which I wrote recently at No More Fake News, the number one mind control program at U.S. colleges. | ||
| So we start here. | ||
| Everybody knows about this insane, triggering, safe spaces, microaggressions, fad trend movement that has broken out at colleges. | ||
| Oh, you said something, it triggered me, I saw a Halloween costume and I freaked out and now I have to go to a room. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| When he's talking about the Halloween costumes, he's talking about people being in blackface. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| That's what he's talking about. | ||
| Because I was thinking he was talking about somebody dressed like Jason. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-mm. | |
| No. | ||
| I'm triggered. | ||
| It's so scary. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| He's talking about being mad at people dressing in blackface. | ||
| Because this came up earlier. | ||
| But you should be mad at people dressing in blackface. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Agreed. | |
| Am I wrong? | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So we've established first, before we go any further, blackface, bad. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Even if you're Al Jolson. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Even if you're related to Al Jolson. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Blackface is bad. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Even though that guy on the last show we did had a slightly weird opinion on that. | ||
| But, yeah, so if you see these things on college campuses, you're going to get triggered because it's a fad to be offended by stuff, and then what's going to end up happening is you're going to have to... | ||
| Where they get hot chocolate and play with dolls and little train sets and... | ||
| I mean, what? | ||
| Pause it. | ||
| At a college... | ||
| He's describing the comfort room when you lose in a spelling bee. | ||
| That's exactly what he's describing. | ||
| In the National Spelling Bee, whenever the kids who are, I don't know how old they are, they're like six and eight? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That age? | ||
| They're like fourth grade, so probably like ten. | ||
| Yeah, and they've gone through all of this work for years and then their dreams are crushed so spectacularly at such a young age. | ||
| On national television. | ||
| On national television, they take them to the comfort room where they do exactly that. | ||
| So I'm assuming... | ||
| I think it's a mix. | ||
| He is speaking about only spelling bee related issues on campus. | ||
| I think maybe he was in a spelling bee some 50 odd years ago or whatever. | ||
| And he did not do well. | ||
| No. | ||
| Based on this report, he was not good at spelling. | ||
| So he's describing something that's a mix between the comfort room that you're describing and like a chill out tent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's somewhere in the middle there, but it's absolutely not, number one, what a safe space is. | ||
| No. | ||
| And number two, not something that exists. | ||
| Also. | ||
| Even if it did, it's not a bad thing. | ||
| It sounds pretty awesome. | ||
| That's the other thing. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If I was offended by something and then I was like, wait, you know what? | ||
| Instead of getting angry and projecting this outward, I'm going to go to this room over here where I get ice cream. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I'm in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Actually, this whole thing is invalidated. | ||
| I want those to exist before we go any further. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We will them into existence. | ||
| A higher institution of learning. | ||
| At many colleges, this is happening. | ||
| And of course, it goes along with politically correct speech and so on and so forth. | ||
| But, you know, people are just boggled by this. | ||
| What are these kids talking about? | ||
| You ask that all the time, don't you? | ||
| Yeah, you nailed it exactly. | ||
| People who are boggled by it are people who are completely out of touch. | ||
| No longer kids, yeah. | ||
| People who are boggled by, like... | ||
| Hmm, what is this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is this rap people are listening to? | |
| Did you know that they said that word that we used to say? | ||
| He's like a 60, 70-year-old guy who doesn't believe HIV causes AIDS. | ||
| Of course he's going to be confused by the changing evolution of culture. | ||
| Like, people having a greater understanding of each other. | ||
| So we're getting into angry old man on a rocking chair territory is what we're about to... | ||
| We're about to dive into that guy. | ||
| It's angry old man on a rocking chair in spirit, but it's being presented as... | ||
| A report. | ||
| Yeah, and I've got the truth. | ||
| It's not... | ||
| Like if on your local news channel, instead of meteorology, it was just this old dude just going, well, my joints are swelling up, so we all know what that means. | ||
| It means we're in for a good soak. | ||
| Probably gonna be wet later. | ||
| And we're getting closer and closer to Hillbilly Dan episode. | ||
| Yeah, I'll tell you what now, boy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I have a difficulty getting right into that hillbilly pocket and not going to the bayou. | ||
| It's real close. | ||
| It's real touch and go. | ||
| But, so, the thing that offends me a little bit about just the beginning of this is that he's not angry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| He should be angry. | ||
| If he believes what he's saying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He should be furious. | ||
| He is kind of reading it like one of those 60 Minutes producers, though, where he's giving you that, like... | ||
| Screen of objectivity? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I am just a passionless observer reporting that other people are confused by what young people are doing. | ||
| Yeah, which is, again, it comes back to a cowardly dodge. | ||
| But anyway, he goes on to elaborate his point, which he's still, it's still a little vague what he's trying to get to. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Safe spaces, microaggressions, I'm triggered, I'm triggered, I'm triggered. | ||
| You know, where did this come from? | ||
| How did it start? | ||
| White people. | ||
| So, I've been lurking around in the shadows for a couple years. | ||
| Don't do that! | ||
| Don't describe yourself as lurking around in the shadows! | ||
| We also... | ||
| No! | ||
| We take that as implied. | ||
| That's bad! | ||
| You've been lurking in shadows. | ||
| We know. | ||
| Yeah, you're not... | ||
| He's not dressing up as like... | ||
| Excuse me, fellow college students. | ||
| How are you today? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I am normal, man. | ||
| Some sort of age-based soul man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Some shit. | |
| But also, it's like... | ||
| Yeah, he's never been kissing. | ||
| He's doing the never-been-kissed thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Also... | |
| He's going around. | ||
| Hey, Rappaport, stop lurking in shadows. | ||
| Put up that goddamn picture. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is... | |
| Why would you lurk in... | ||
| Also, if you've seen what he looks like, you know you don't want him lurking in shadows anywhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no, no. | |
| Let alone on a college campus. | ||
| No. | ||
| I mean, I know he's... | ||
| Let's be fair, he's using it metaphorically, but choose different words. | ||
| Rappaport, come on. | ||
| Well, yeah, no, that sounds evil. | ||
| His metaphor openly starts out evil. | ||
| It sounds at least nefarious. | ||
| Yes, yeah. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Piling up information on this. | ||
| And I needed a few final pieces, and I finally got them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| And then the last piece fell into place. | ||
| So I'm going to tell you exactly where all this stuff came from. | ||
| From the National Alliance on Mental Illness comes this statistic. | ||
| In one year, 25% of all college students in the U.S. have either been diagnosed with a mental disorder or treated for a mental disorder. | ||
| One out of four across the U.S. in colleges. | ||
| All colleges. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I have a number of things to debunk that statistic meaning anything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One. | |
| Is that true? | ||
| No. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| Can you find anywhere that says that? | ||
| That National Association of Mental Illness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do they say it? | |
| But I can't trust their sourcing, necessarily. | ||
| Who are they? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| But, like, I don't know where you're going to get that information from, number one. | ||
| Number two. | ||
| Can't you not get that information, though? | ||
| It seems like a lot of it would have privacy issues involved. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, what would you... | ||
| You would go to school... | ||
| Leave all that aside, because it's not important, because here's the bigger picture. | ||
| That number, if it does exist, that 1 in 4 statistic, has to, by definition, include people who have drug-seeking behaviors. | ||
| People who are going to try and get Adderall and shit like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It has to include that subset of the population, which is massive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It also has to include anybody who's gone and gotten a diagnosis and then never gone back. | ||
| They just go in and get, like, therapy at the student health center or whatever and then don't pursue it. | ||
| So, like, that one in four statistic is meaningless. | ||
| No, it seems like it's very, very scary. | ||
| Let's flip it. | ||
| I'm gonna go with its vaccines. | ||
| Let's flip this one in four. | ||
| Three in four don't. | ||
| Which, who the fuck are those kids? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| How are they getting through that shit? | ||
| Have they ever been to college? | ||
| How are they okay? | ||
| It's terrifying out there. | ||
| So this idea, it's like, oh my god. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There is a creepy man lurking in the shadows! | |
| How do you not have a paranoid delusion about that? | ||
| You're gonna need some fucking Xanax to get through the rest of your life after you see this man. | ||
| Yeah, no kidding. | ||
| So that's kind of like... | ||
| It's a meaningless statistic for those reasons. | ||
| I think the idea of people going to try and get pills, I know a number of people in my college days, in my after-college days, who behave like that. | ||
| Yesterdays. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I know a number of me's who are constantly looking for pills. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Crazy me. | ||
| So that group is included in that 25%. | ||
| So it's like you need to be a little bit more specific. | ||
| With your numbers, or else you're just spouting bullshit. | ||
| No, you need to be as vague as possible in order to scare as many people as you can. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| In order to drive traffic to no more fake news. | ||
| To his credit, he doesn't sell, like, survival products on his site. | ||
| Thankfully. | ||
| No, he sells continuing to get polio. | ||
| HIV denial. | ||
| Yeah, he sells bringing all the vaccines to a halting close. | ||
| He also sells some bullshit. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| Let's just sink in for a second, okay? | ||
| Let us observe a microsecond of silence. | ||
| He didn't give us that time. | ||
| On that one. | ||
| That's more than a microsecond. | ||
| In other words, these colleges and universities have been turned into psychiatric clinics. | ||
| Psychiatric clinics. | ||
| That conclusion does not follow from the premise. | ||
| No? | ||
| It does not at all. | ||
| 25% a dubious statistic of college students. | ||
| Are diagnosed with mental illnesses. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Ergo, all colleges are psychiatric clinics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Well done, John Rappaport. | ||
| Well, all colleges should have a psychiatric clinic. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I think that's a good idea. | ||
| It's an essential piece of student wellness. | ||
| Now, if you are turning all colleges into psychiatric clinics, I don't think that's a way to learn. | ||
| I don't think so either, but I think he would agree with you on that. | ||
| I think we're in agreement. | ||
| I think it's a bad idea to do what he said they're doing. | ||
| I think he thinks it's like Arkham City. | ||
| I think he thinks that all colleges are Arkham City. | ||
| And... | ||
| If he is continuing to lurk in the shadows, that makes him! | ||
| We found him, ladies and gentlemen! | ||
| We got him! | ||
| Call Dr. Hugo Strange! | ||
| Yeah, get on up here! | ||
| Batman has some more thoughts. | ||
| Let's face it. | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| That's the story. | ||
| That's the underlying story. | ||
| Whether it's a diagnosis of ADHD, or clinical depression, or bipolar, or whatever it is. | ||
| And the treatment with highly, highly active toxic drugs. | ||
| Back in my day, we used to just hit people for treatment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| You didn't have ADHD. | ||
| You're about to get a spanking, boy. | ||
| You didn't have a mental illness. | ||
| You were just a pussy. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Great. | ||
| That didn't perpetuate the cycle at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| It's like that whole thing. | ||
| It's like, you know what? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, you're telling me I shouldn't hit my kids? | ||
| My dad hit me. | ||
| It turned out great. | ||
| Oh, you don't see the connection? | ||
| No, you don't see the problem there. | ||
| Yeah, you're hitting your kid probably because you got hit as a child. | ||
| You know, PTSD wasn't an issue when those boys came back from work. | ||
| World War II, I mean, except for all the ones who killed themselves and never spoke about it again or anything like that, or wind up being, oh, yeah, no, PTSD wasn't a thing. | ||
| Back when men were men. | ||
| Back when men were men, and there were fewer of them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So what does that do? | ||
| That creates a complete culture of victimhood. | ||
| I don't care what Hillary Clinton advocates or, you know, who cares? | ||
| Creepy laugh. | ||
| These kids now can have a right to consider themselves victims. | ||
| Well, I have a problem. | ||
| And so what's the next step? | ||
| Well, this explains why I have a problem, because I have a mental disorder. | ||
| Okay, wow, there we go. | ||
| Wait, was that him saying he has a mental disorder? | ||
| Oh, okay, all right. | ||
| But it's also a little chicken-egg-ish, you know? | ||
| I mean, it's like... | ||
| It's like, okay, so you get this diagnosis and now you're a victim so you can excuse all your behaviors. | ||
| It's like, well, maybe what led to the diagnosis was I suffered from panic attacks and couldn't leave my house. | ||
| Well, does he think people are being triggered without having anything that triggered them? | ||
| Like, the whole point of... | ||
| You know, that trigger warning is you were a victim and this will bring up those bad memories. | ||
| Right, it's the idea of you were sexually assaulted and here's some graphic content describing a sexual assault. | ||
| Yeah, you don't want to be a part of that. | ||
| That's a warning. | ||
| Yeah, and safe spaces are like... | ||
| Where you don't have to deal with that. | ||
| Or you don't have to deal... | ||
| Like you're in a situation where people who aren't on the level are going to just get in the way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So let's exclude that. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are zero train cars that are safe spaces. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Look, I don't want to sit here and defend the entirety of safe space trigger warning culture, but I know that it's based on something, and it's not crazy, people. | ||
| No! | ||
| It's based on people being oppressed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| It's based on... | ||
| Taking a stand against things that are being forced upon other people. | ||
| The people most against that whole concept of a trigger warning are the people who generally cause people to need trigger warnings. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Anyway, back to Batman. | ||
| I'm off the hook. | ||
| Problem studying, don't know who to date or how to introduce myself to somebody or get along, sociability at college. | ||
| You know, kid doesn't know what to do, all of this. | ||
| Suddenly, he got the answer. | ||
| Because he had these problems, and he wandered into the clinic or the infirmary or whatever in the first place, and then all of a sudden, before he knew it, oh, well, and so forth, we ask you a few questions, and yes, we'd like you to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist. | ||
| He's got a diagnosis. | ||
| Which is always a good idea. | ||
| She's got a diagnosis. | ||
| It's always a good idea. | ||
| If you feel like you need to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist, go see one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| It's a good idea. | ||
| It's never a bad idea. | ||
| Right, but he's painting it as a forced thing, which is never the case. | ||
| No! | ||
| No one ever, unless you're like suicidal or you're threatening to hurt somebody. | ||
| No one ever forces you to go see a therapist. | ||
| It's against the law. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's quite literally illegal. | ||
| He's creating this false idea about therapy and psychiatric help that is like, you go in for a little minor problem, boom. | ||
| And that's when they give you AIDS. | ||
| That's when they Shanghai you. | ||
| It's like basically you're being kidnapped into therapy or whatever. | ||
| That doesn't happen. | ||
| No. | ||
| The only way that anybody can force you to do anything is if you present a legitimate danger to yourself or others. | ||
| And even then, it's really hard to... | ||
| It absolutely is. | ||
| It's very hard, for good reason. | ||
| Yeah, because it would be fucking scary as a world system if you could just be forced into... | ||
| It would be awful to go back to, all the way back to like 30 years ago when you could do that to women. | ||
| Yeah, for being hysterical. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It would be terrible to go back to those times so far ago. | ||
| Victim card is right there. | ||
| You can play it any time you want to. | ||
| Well, I couldn't turn in the assignment. | ||
| No, the dog didn't eat my homework. | ||
| I have a mental disorder. | ||
| Okay, wow. | ||
| I believe I have a dog, and I don't. | ||
| 25%. | ||
| Get that through your skull. | ||
| Get it through your skull. | ||
| That number is meaningless. | ||
| Get it through Castle Grayskull. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get it through your cowl. | |
| Otherwise... | ||
| So yeah, I mean, there is an interesting conversation possibly to be had about the idea of people being able to get away with stuff because of mental illness. | ||
| As a member of the mental illness community myself. | ||
| I'll out myself. | ||
| I'm in that group too. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Because we're willing to talk about it now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| To fight against Batman. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There is the question of over-diagnosing. | ||
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
| Because that's always a concern with any kind of medical industry. | ||
| And that's a discussion within the community. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's something that we all consider quite frequently. | ||
| It's something that's really important because with all the side effects that your medications can have, if you get a wrong diagnosis, that can lead to very serious complications. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That said, it's generally not as big of an issue as these people always portray it as. | ||
| In very, very small percentage of cases, it is. | ||
| And that's something that people are keenly aware of. | ||
| That's something that there is a debate about. | ||
| Overdiagnosis is one thing, also overprescription of stuff. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| That is something that is being discussed, and it's a real-world thing. | ||
| But it's not... | ||
| Real the way Batman is describing it. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| We're just going to call him Batman now. | ||
| That's what he is. | ||
| So he has some more thoughts about trigger warnings and shit. | ||
| Now, with that underlying framework, you see, how easy is it to step from there into a student or students? | ||
| Getting together and saying, you know, there's certain things that are going on in the environment here that are upsetting us. | ||
| They are! | ||
| That are triggering us. | ||
| There was Nazi propaganda painted on universities. | ||
| That's going to trigger people. | ||
| Back when I went to the University of Missouri. | ||
| Mostly, it's going to trigger anti-Nazi people. | ||
| Yeah, or Jews. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Back when I went to the University of Missouri, there was a situation where A bunch of cotton was put outside, like, just thrown outside the office of the Legion of Black Collegians. | ||
| And, you know, the people who did it were... | ||
| Taken care of by the administration. | ||
| They weren't like beat up or anything. | ||
| I did like the way you put that. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| They were taken care of. | ||
| They were dealt with. | ||
| Like they were from the Vegas mafia. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They got very short graves out in the desert. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We took out their eyes. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Nobody's going to do that again. | ||
| As I recall, they got expelled. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure. | ||
| I don't remember all the facts, but that's how I remember going down. | ||
| I would prefer there were far more severe punishments. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Not necessarily a three-foot grave, but not necessarily. | ||
| But that sort of thing happens a lot. | ||
| And that sort of thing is not... | ||
| When people respond to that, it's not mental illness that's causing them to respond. | ||
| It's that they should be very offended by that. | ||
| Well, it's a threat. | ||
| You're being threatened. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| If you do not look for a safe space after being threatened, then, I mean, that's... | ||
| Why aren't the guys... | ||
| Perpetrating the racist, horrible acts in the mental illness camp? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Shouldn't they be the ones in there? | ||
| Well, they're the ones who believe that mental illness is weakness. | ||
| Shouldn't they be the ones who be so angry about it? | ||
| They're the ones who believe that mental illness is weakness, and they're the ones who will never... | ||
| Get the help that they probably need. | ||
| Desperately need. | ||
| Especially if you go out of your way to get cotton and put it outside a black building. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a lot of work. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Racism is a lot of work. | ||
| And it indicates that something is not working right in your brain. | ||
| No. | ||
| God, what if there was... | ||
| Let's say there was a pill. | ||
| Or even better yet, a gas that we could just pump in. | ||
| To heavily racist areas. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And then they just stop being racist. | ||
| I'm still against that because of informed consent. | ||
| Admittedly, I agree with you. | ||
| Now, I will say that the side effects of this gas in my head are your legs don't work anymore, so we don't have to worry about it either way. | ||
| So you're not mobile. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| How about we just make your dick way too big? | ||
| How about that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Instead of no legs, just make your dick comically large. | |
| And that's the genie ironic twist to that one. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, exactly. | ||
| Oh, I just want a big dick. | ||
| And then it's, oh, no. | ||
| It's that careful what you wish for. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So Batman's going to get back to this. | ||
| And at the end of this, he ends up revealing who the real enemy in the world is. | ||
| And he shares some thoughts with Scientology in an unfortunate way. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Get it? | ||
| Because, well, we already have a mental disorder, you see, so we're a little bit off. | ||
| Chemical imbalance in the brain, whatever, whatever, whatever. | ||
| You can't, no, no, no, you can't just whatever, whatever, whatever. | ||
| You can't, like, yada, yada, yada. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Chemical imbalance in the brain, whatever, you know, no big deal. | ||
| Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| This is a hard-hitting investigative report. | ||
| Yeah, no kidding. | ||
| Now we have a right. | ||
| To begin talking this crazy language and we need a safe space in a room and the teachers and staff have to attend to us and we can regress back into being children because we've already been diagnosed by a mental health professional as having a mental disorder. | ||
| I hope you really get this because this is a key to understanding. | ||
| What is going on, not only going on at U.S. colleges and universities, but what is eating out the country from the inside? | ||
| The profession of psychiatry. | ||
| And I'm going to break all that down for you, chapter and verse, in this investigative report. | ||
| He doesn't. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So psychiatry is the enemy. | ||
| Psychiatry is the enemy. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Now... | ||
| I'm assuming, like, we're gonna, he's gonna go down the medication is changing people thing, right? | ||
| Uh, yeah, there'll be a, you know, there'll be touches of that, shades of that, if you will. | ||
| Where, where is this going? | ||
| It goes some places you don't expect. | ||
| Okay, of course it does. | ||
| Uh, but before we get to those places, we've gotta deal with him being a little bit repetitive, but it's worth listening to this clip because of, uh, you'll see. | ||
| But you've got the headline and the top paragraph now. | ||
| Real quick, real quick. | ||
| He's a complete asshole, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're past that line. | |
| Look, I don't know him as a man. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| You don't get to do that. | ||
| I don't know him. | ||
| He just generalized every U.S. college as being a... | ||
| And that's the whole... | ||
| That's the fight that so many conservatives have. | ||
| That's the fight that so many conservatives have because they have that thing where they send their Christian conservative brainwashed kids to the university and they meet... | ||
| other people. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And surprisingly enough, they come back with all of this information that they never got from their tiny ass bullshit town. | |
| Maybe they smoke a little weed. | ||
| Maybe they smoke a little weed. | ||
| They start to see the world. | ||
| I bet they even had sex on that campus. | ||
| Oh my god, maybe they started to have feelings for a different sort of person. | ||
| Oh, they had sex all over that campus. | ||
| Yeah, maybe you mad at Oh, my God. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| So, it's always that. | ||
| It's always that. | ||
| That whole bullshit, like, if we could just keep them in this bubble, you know, like a cult. | ||
| If we could keep that, like, every small town should just be called a cult town. | ||
| Because that little bubble they have of those people who never go anywhere, and I grew up in a small town, so I know. | ||
| Probably die in a small town. | ||
| I probably will die in a small town. | ||
| But at least it'll be in a bathroom stall of a bar. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And they try and keep that short, small viewpoint in there, and the moment somebody goes away and comes back with a different one, they blame the university. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| As though the university wasn't just a collection of people from other places. | ||
| Fuck you, it's full of crazies, and psychiatry is to blame. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That makes things so much easier. | ||
| Because it's Arkham Campus. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it's a loony bin. | ||
| And it's full of crazy people who demand that you not dress in blackface. | ||
| That you not, you know, misgender people. | ||
| Right. | ||
| People are crazy for demanding acceptance. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I guess, if that's your argument, I can't really argue with you except to say I completely disagree. | ||
| It's weird how those same people, though, are always the ones who are the most against conformity. | ||
| So it's always like... | ||
| I hate it when these people demand something that goes against what I think is what everyone should be. | ||
| Don't tell me what to be. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| You should be what I tell you to be. | ||
| Individualism. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The libertarian ideas. | ||
| So long as everybody is an individual in the very same way. | ||
| Actually, he's going to get to individuality in a little bit. | ||
| I bet he's right on. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Now you can see how this whole business came about. | ||
| Not yet. | ||
| And how, of course, it's destroying the country because of the majority of the best and the brightest attending colleges and universities, 25% of... | ||
| That's not a majority. | ||
| 25% of... | ||
| A hundred percent. | ||
| It's not even close. | ||
| Is a majority, right? | ||
| No, it's not even a majority of half. | ||
| What is a majority? | ||
| Remind us what a majority is. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just learned all this liberal hippy-dippy bullshit. | ||
| I don't know about math in college. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Already at such a young age, you're being diagnosed with a mental disorder. | ||
| Yeah, college. | ||
| And drugged with highly toxic brain-scrambling drugs. | ||
| Naturally, some bizarre things are going to come up out of the hopper, such as, I'm triggered, I'm triggered, I'm triggered, I'm triggered. | ||
| I need to save space. | ||
| That was a microaggression. | ||
| He wore a Halloween costume. | ||
| I'm going psychotic. | ||
| None of these things are related to each other? | ||
| No, but again, it's so offensive to me, the idea that he's saying, you wore a Halloween costume. | ||
| They're talking specifically about blackface. | ||
| It's always minimizing, if you rename it to something, it's locker room talk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's not sexual assault talk, it's locker room talk. | ||
| Right, it's the battle of language. | ||
| It's not blackface, it's a Halloween costume. | ||
| You and I know everybody wears Halloween costumes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course! | |
| Which means everybody wears... | ||
| Tasteful Halloween costumes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Zero people wear fucking blackface. | ||
| On the last episode, we dealt with this in a little bit greater detail. | ||
| The idea of what's okay as a Halloween costume and blackface is totally cool, all that shit. | ||
| So we don't need to retread it totally. | ||
| What's okay as a Halloween costume. | ||
| But this is so great because he's spouting this stuff and he's about to make a really smooth transition that I think everyone can enjoy. | ||
| As smooth as his dentures. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| And the drugs themselves create a distorted perception of reality. | ||
| Keep that in mind. | ||
| So that some of these reactions that you're seeing from college students that you scratch your head about and just can't figure out are coming from the drugs. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, I'm getting a little worked up about this. | ||
| I've been on this case for 20 years now. | ||
| He's been on the case for 20 years. | ||
| 20 years. | ||
| Before I get to the next piece, which is gigantic, let me make sure that you know that at Infowarsstore.com you can get Roger Stone's new book, The Making of the President. | ||
| 20 off. | ||
| Now available for 20% off. | ||
| He goes on for like three minutes. | ||
| That's a majority of percent off. | ||
| We all know that. | ||
| He goes on for like three minutes or so selling Roger Stone's book. | ||
| But it's great because this is a show that does have commercial breaks. | ||
| I love... | ||
| What the fuck are you doing? | ||
| You're in the middle of a report about how psychology isn't real and it's the enemy. | ||
| And there's a huge bombshell coming. | ||
| Huge bombshell. | ||
| But, you know, we gotta talk about how great this book is. | ||
| I love how worked up he is by his voice being like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I'm real angry about that. | |
| Indicates that he might be sedated. | ||
| Yeah, no kidding. | ||
| He might be on these meds. | ||
| I'm getting worried. | ||
| That's Stephen Wright opening with, I'm a little hyper. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's what that is. | ||
| He might be taking some of these herbs that you can buy on Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| Those are totally fine. | ||
| He's got a great psychiatrist. | ||
| Super male vitality, DNA force, all that stuff, totally fine. | ||
| But these psychotropic drugs you can get from a psychiatrist, evil. | ||
| Well, you know what? | ||
| I will say that they do have a greater propensity for harm because they're real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So anything that's real is, of course, much more likely to be damaged. | ||
| There's high risk, high reward. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| Or more like low, low, low risk, high reward. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A good trade-off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So are you ready to get to this bombshell? | ||
| I am ready to get to the bombshell. | ||
| I want to be clear. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm not sure there was one. | ||
| In true Infowars fashion, always teasing a bombshell. | ||
| But this is what he gets to next. | ||
| Conveniently forgetting the bombshell. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Next piece here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If you go to the Psychiatric Bible, and there is a thing called the Psychiatric Bible, its official name is the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Published by the American Psychiatric Association. | ||
| Why is he such a dick about that? | ||
| Because he has to be. | ||
| They just named it a thing. | ||
| You don't have to make fun of just the name of it. | ||
| He does, because he's got so little. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, but that's such a Bush League move. | |
| Yeah, but still, it's going to appeal to people who are dumb. | ||
| They're just going to hear him sarcastically lilt his voice and be like, oh, he's minimizing it. | ||
| It must not be important. | ||
| It's classic bullying. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| It's a third grade move right there. | ||
| 1000%. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When you don't have any information, you're just like, neener, neener. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And that's what he's doing. | ||
| Oh, psychiatrists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They go to parties. | |
| He's about to give a fairly sizable lie. | ||
| To all psychiatrists, I'm sorry for insinuating you guys go to parties. | ||
| I know you don't. | ||
| It's very responsible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's okay. | |
| Updated every few years, you will find... | ||
| That there is a list and a description of roughly, ready? | ||
| 300 separate and distinct mental disorders by name. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Social defiance disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, clinical depression, etc., etc. | ||
| The ones you know about and obviously the vast majority you've never heard of. | ||
| 300. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now. | ||
| Now what? | ||
| Here's the revelation. | ||
| What's the revelation? | ||
| There is no, and listen carefully here. | ||
| I am! | ||
| Every word is important. | ||
| I don't think it is. | ||
| There is no defining physical diagnostic test of any kind for any of those 300 so-called mental disorders. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| That's a complete lie. | ||
| That's not true at all. | ||
| It's a horrible, complete lie. | ||
| That's the zeroest true thing. | ||
| Well, but here's what he means, I think. | ||
| Because I'm going to be generous to him in one sense. | ||
| So, like, if you have... | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're going to pay for his new dentures. | |
| No, but, like, if you have TB or something like that, there is a specific A to B TB test. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You can take that test and it'll tell you yes or no if you have TB. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| There is no test like that for depression, per se, or schizophrenia, or anything like that. | ||
| But there are a fuck-ton of physical tests that give very important information that lead doctors to those diagnoses. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I consulted with my dear friend, Dr. Gums, who is a real-life doctor. | ||
| And I asked him... | ||
| Bleeding Gums Murphy, who's also on The Simpsons. | ||
| I've said a bunch of shit about him on the air, and he's told me not to say his real name anymore. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So he's Dr. Gums. | ||
| He's Dr. Gums. | ||
| He is a really smart, real doctor. | ||
| And I asked him about that, and he's like, that's just absolutely incorrect. | ||
| There's so many physical tests that go into psychiatric diagnoses. | ||
| There are, you know, thyroid panels. | ||
| There are CAT scans that you can do. | ||
| Any kind of brain scans. | ||
| There's other physical tests that are just basic, even movement tests and stuff like that. | ||
| Now, granted, it doesn't in the same way as TB yes or no test or an allergy scratch test or something like that. | ||
| It's not the same. | ||
| But this is such an elementary understanding of what physical tests are and what a diagnosis is. | ||
| Well, but here's the other angle on why you could understand where somebody is coming from if they're coming from this angle, especially if they're, say, 7,000 years old or however old he is. | ||
| Listen, his brother's Methuselah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| The hardest part about the history of psychiatry and psychology... | ||
| Is that there was such a push for a long time to try and get it into an actual scientific method. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Which, for the longest time, it was just, you know, a guy like Freud saying, you know, you dream weird. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| You play with your poop because you want to yell at your mother. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's dumb, crazy shit. | ||
| So you can understand if somebody had only read Freud thinking... | ||
| That's what psychology or psychiatry is. | ||
| You understand that point of view. | ||
| The problem is that means you haven't looked at any psychiatry for the past, say, length of time you've been investigating it. | ||
| 20 or so years. | ||
| Or you have looked at some stuff and you're not really recognizing. | ||
| I mean, he even said it when he was talking about the DSM that they revise it. | ||
| Regularly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, every few years. | |
| Because psychology and psychiatry are evolving sciences. | ||
| I also like how blown away he was by 300. | ||
| That's nothing. | ||
| There's 7 billion people on the planet. | ||
| I'm shocked there aren't 7 billion different mental illnesses. | ||
| Sure, and within that 300, there's like 5 of them are just depression, but they're different sorts of depression. | ||
| Which means there are different paths of treatment for depression. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| There are different ways to go about attacking it, which again, if you're dealing with... | ||
| Diagnosis being a huge issue because medications are and can sometimes be very toxic. | ||
| You know, like I'm destroying my liver so I don't go crazy or whatever. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's like, do you want to die now or 60 years from now? | ||
| Do you want to have a good life while good life is possible or do you want to be 80? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or do you want to live like you have in terrible times in your life? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| But the other thing that I think is super important is the S in DSM is statistical. | ||
| Because it's based on real observations of tons of people. | ||
| Tons of patients. | ||
| They've diagnosed and categorized mental disorders that do happen. | ||
| And found what works statistically. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's why it's in the manual. | ||
| Well, but people can't understand statistics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, it's very complicated. | |
| You should read the new Michael Lewis book. | ||
| We were talking about that. | ||
| Yeah, it's all about that. | ||
| Everyone doesn't believe in coincidence, essentially. | ||
| I was actually talking to somebody earlier about this, where that whole myth of, oh, well, people go crazy on the full moon. | ||
| And you just look at it from a statistics-based idea, and you realize, no, they don't. | ||
| But... | ||
| When somebody goes crazy and there's the full moon, you associate the two. | ||
| And we talk about it. | ||
| When somebody goes crazy and there's no full moon, you don't register that. | ||
| You don't remember it because there wasn't a full moon. | ||
| Well, it's like suicides rising around the holidays. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's not true, but we always hear about it. | ||
| Because it makes an intuitive sense to you. | ||
| The full moon is unusual, so unusual things should happen. | ||
| Holidays are sad. | ||
| And you should kill yourself. | ||
| Well, statistics are like a science that's desperately in need of a story to make them interesting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So you have the, like, full moon story, and we're like, oh, let's fucking latch onto that whether it's true or not. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But anyway. | ||
| Well, human beings are storytellers. | ||
| That's what we are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's the only way we understand things. | ||
| You know who tells a fucking shit story? | ||
| Batman. | ||
| Batman? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Not a blood test? | ||
| Not a hair test, not a saliva test, not a urine test, not a brain scan, not a genetic assay. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Zilch. | ||
| Nada. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| This, in fact, is an open secret in the psychiatric community. | ||
| Again, it's not. | ||
| They understand this. | ||
| So it would be like you going into the doctor and he says, you know, you've got cancer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I think you've got cancer. | ||
| You going to run any tests? | ||
| No, we don't actually have any tests. | ||
| But from what you say and looking at you, I would say that you've got cancer and it's now time, you know, we could start an hour on some heavy rounds of chemotherapy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Which, of course, will stop the reproduction of all your cells, and we hope it'll kill the tumors before it kills you. | ||
| Yeah, but you haven't run any tests. | ||
| Well, we don't really have any tests. | ||
| It would be like that. | ||
| It wouldn't be like that. | ||
| He is also kind of insinuating that cancer treatment is bad for you as well. | ||
| Well, I mean, yeah, I think he probably would. | ||
| But, I mean, it seems like he's really mad because somebody diagnosed him with cancer. | ||
| That's why he lost his teeth. | ||
| Yeah, that could be. | ||
| Well, you guys will see the picture. | ||
| Yeah, holy shit. | ||
| Also, if I was diagnosed with cancer, and then the doctor pressed play on a 1980s style boombox, and I heard that song, I would be totally cool with it. | ||
| I love the idea of trying to figure out when they send them to break. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| It's like, you're deep in this metaphor that we know you're not going to find your way out of the woods. | ||
| Hit the music. | ||
| Well, and even better, there has never been a break where that music would even become close to, like, they never end on a high note. | ||
| They're always going to break in the middle of, and if you got diagnosed with cancer. | ||
| Like, no! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Play something that's... | |
| Appropriate in some way? | ||
| Yeah, something like a dirge. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So also, the idea that there aren't any tests, again, not true. | ||
| Just in the background, there's always the gospel choir going, you're gonna die. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't always get what you want. | |
| So that is, like, that's just not true. | ||
| But then the other part... | ||
| No, none of what he said was true. | ||
| I'm being extra decent to him here by proposing this, which is, like, if you do some of these tests, oftentimes you find that psychiatric conditions have an underlying condition that is causing it. | ||
| You know, like, sometimes depression is caused by hypothyroidism. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Or something like that. | ||
| So you can do these tests, and you can confirm the depression, and you can confirm another condition. | ||
| But that's not even what he's talking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's too complicated for this special report. | |
| And that's the other thing that I feel like is his main, like, complete and utter misunderstanding of depression. | ||
| And I think it's a very common misunderstanding, which is always, you guys think it's an outside thing happening to me that makes me depressed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where it's really the depression is making me happen to the outside things. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It comes from within and then radiates outward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It causes you or I to interpret everything around us in a way that is not accurate. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So to you, you know, whenever people say, and I've said this on other more mentally illness-themed podcasts, but it is always like, you know, well, I've been sad. | ||
| And it's like, no. | ||
| You've had things that made you sad. | ||
| You have never felt a deep and unending sadness come from within you trying to eat you from the inside out. | ||
| Much like the... | ||
| Wait, you're accusing other people of that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, I'm accusing others. | ||
| Well, now you have a secondary diagnosis because you're an asshole. | ||
| So, Batman goes on to say, drop what he thinks is a bombshell. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And I'm just going to let this play out and then debunk it pretty hard. | ||
| John Rappaport back, talking about the number one mind control program at U.S. colleges. | ||
| So you've got these 300 so-called mental disorders that are listed in the psychiatric Bible, and there's no diagnostic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're getting a lot of so-called. | |
| The moment that came into the lexicon, so-called blah, so-called that, and that just undermined... | ||
| How could you have any confidence in literally anything because somebody is calling it a so-called blank? | ||
| Well, this is a so-called investigative report. | ||
| Fake news! | ||
| Also, I noticed that he's doing a lot of this, you know, the okay sign that Trump does all the time. | ||
| The Mike Sheehan okay sign. | ||
| Wait, Trump stole it from Mike Sheehan! | ||
| Trump stole it from Mike Sheehan! | ||
| So anyway. | ||
| Whatsoever for any of them that defines any of the so-called disorders, and that means that a psychiatrist can diagnose you, your child, a student at a college, with anything that he wants to, and then comes the hammer. | ||
| The hammer is the drugs. | ||
| And in case you're thinking of trying to worm out of my argument here and say, well, but we know that all these mental disorders are chemical imbalances in the brain, false. | ||
| No, wrong, absolutely wrong, because first of all, there is no baseline normal test for what a normal baseline chemical balance in the brain is. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| I think that is fair. | ||
| That's a fair point. | ||
| That's absolutely fair. | ||
| There is no necessary way to tell what is normal. | ||
| But that does not prove his point. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's a fair point, but it doesn't prove anything. | ||
| And I have documented through an admission by Dr. Ronald Pies, who is one of these erudite psychiatrists. | ||
| Sounds so fake. | ||
| You know, a resume this long, retired now, emeritus, editor, and so on, who said, oh no, the chemical imbalance theory of mental illness was always an urban myth. | ||
| Quote, always an urban myth. | ||
| So that doesn't even hold up. | ||
| Are you saying that Dr. Pies called something an urban myth? | ||
| I looked into this and I found the article that he took this from. | ||
| And there was a guy named Dr. Pies. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Which is pretty cool. | ||
| This is from the Psychiatric Times. | ||
| This was an article called Psychiatry's New Brain, Mind, and the Legend of Chemical Imbalance. | ||
| It's from 2011. | ||
| And he does say that this idea that chemical imbalance, being responsible wholly for mental illness, is an urban legend, never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists. | ||
| But he goes on to explain. | ||
| He's quoting... | ||
| The National Institute of Mental Health Director Thomas Incel here. | ||
| As Incel describes the new model, conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder are attributable to rare but highly potent genetic variations that lead to dysfunction in multiple complex... | ||
| complex brain circuits. | ||
| However, the particular symptomatic manifestations in a given individual, the disease phenotype, is partly dependent on the person's experiences and environment. | ||
| We may hypothesize, and this is my view, not necessarily Dr. Insel's, The young boy or girl may be predisposed to the use of certain dysfunctional cognitive strategies, for example, viewing everyone in the environment as uniformly threatening or rejecting. | ||
| Wow, that's a really well said, really well thought out, really well researched point that he made. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't think, now, you know, paint me wrong, I don't think that was very well represented in the quote that, no. | ||
| No, what the article is essentially saying. | ||
| No, that's a perfect way of pointing out everything there, is that even if you have the same type of genetic, what, you know. | ||
| And whether or not you would call it a dysfunction in your genes as opposed to... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anomaly. | |
| Because there are certain... | ||
| Let's call it an anomaly. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, there are trade-offs there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| With my experience with bipolar disorder, there's always been a bit of a trade-off. | ||
| Mental illness sometimes gives you bonuses. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| It gives you power-ups, if you will. | ||
| If you think that you suck, sometimes you'll work harder than everyone else who's complacent. | ||
| So there's that. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| But the other thing that he points out is that it is relevant where you are growing up and where you are experiencing these things. | ||
| It's like the anomaly is the bomb and the environment. | ||
| is the blasting cap or whatever. | ||
| You know, like it's... | ||
| You can have a latent psychiatric condition that'll never be set off because you... | ||
| Lived the right circumstances. | ||
| Well, and not even necessarily that, but you can have the same condition as somebody living in a completely different world. | ||
| It may be the same genetic situation, but you're going to react and you're going to show different symptoms because you're dealing with an environment that is coming out in as well. | ||
| So in certain situations, even if you are talking about those colleges where he feels like it's an issue, somebody may have – One illness or another one, but they're both exhibiting the same symptoms for it. | ||
| There are plenty of times where, I mean, if you go through the history of bipolar disorder, it's really hard to diagnose because it may be that your symptoms are exactly the same as this disease or exactly the same as that disease. | ||
| And so you wind up going through all these different medications because you don't actually know what your underlying problem is. | ||
| You just know shit's wrong. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And... | ||
| So, it's a well-thought-out... | ||
| And he should be the Emeritus editor of... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Blank. | |
| Shout out to Dr. Pies. | ||
| Yeah, Dr. Pies, you do good work. | ||
| I wish you didn't drive in a car with so many clowns in it. | ||
| But also, to take it back to Batman, what he's saying is a really bad representation of what Dr. Pies is arguing. | ||
| A horrible one. | ||
| He's citing him more or less out of context because the actual quote sounds good for his argument. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But what Dr. Pies is saying is essentially that the idea of a chemical imbalance is a simplistic, inaccurate way to look at it. | ||
| But these are genetic mutations in the brain that would cause chemical differences. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So it isn't a refutation of the idea that your brain chemistry is different. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's just that the term brain chemistry is not really what we're talking about. | ||
| Is reductive and not really representative of what may be going on. | ||
| My point is that John Rappaport is a really bad investigative journalist. | ||
| He's citing that article. | ||
| In the way he is. | ||
| And he's been doing that for 20 years. | ||
| He's been on the case for 20 years. | ||
| Why wouldn't he at least have read the full article? | ||
| Or, if he was an actual journalist... | ||
| Also, he did pull out the first five words of that quote, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was the first... | ||
| Like, he got what he wanted and then did not bother to read the rest of it. | ||
| Let me go one step further. | ||
| If you're on this case for 20 years, why don't you give Dr. Pies a ring? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why don't you call him and ask him what he meant by that instead of pulling an out-of-context quote? | |
| Why don't you actually do some investigation? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| How could you get a hold of Dr. Pies? | ||
| There can't be more than one. | ||
| Are you just going to wander around different windowsills and see if he shows up? | ||
| No. | ||
| I saw a great tweet that was a picture of Jeff Sessions. | ||
| And it was like, Jeff Sessions looks like a baby who was turned old by a witch because he stole a pie off a window sill. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| It's perfect. | ||
| Also, he's a horrible racist who should die. | ||
| Yep, fuck him. | ||
| So all these college students, and everybody really, are completely at the mercy of these psychiatrists who will say, well, you've got this disorder, that disorder, and now comes the drugs. | ||
| Oh, the antidepressants, Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and so forth. | ||
| In my article, which is up now at Infowars, number one mind control program at U.S. colleges, you can see the effects of these drugs as cited in study after study after study and their influence, how they push people over the edge into committing violence. | ||
| And when I say violence, yes, could be throwing a rock through a window, but it could also be murder. | ||
| Could also be mass murder. | ||
| Could also be suicide. | ||
| We're talking serious stuff here as a result of these SSRI, as they're called, antidepressants. | ||
| And that's just one class of drug. | ||
| What? | ||
| There are more? | ||
| There are others called major tranquilizers or neuroleptics. | ||
| The first of which was Thor. | ||
| They are not called Major Tranquilize. | ||
| That sounds like the name of a David Waynes movie. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we're laughing and it's unfortunate because there is reality to some people. | ||
| Oftentimes, and he does deal with this a little bit later in his special report. | ||
| That it's dangerous to go off a medication randomly. | ||
| And so a lot of the times the violence that you end up seeing from people is people who have fallen off medication. | ||
| So that he's not dealing with very accurately. | ||
| But there are negative responses to medication, and that's a reality of the world. | ||
| Yeah, but there are negative responses to not... | ||
| Searching out medication. | ||
| There's a way bigger... | ||
| There's not going to be a... | ||
| There's not going to be a cure. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| And even then, if you are going to seek out medication, you're not doing it on a fucking whim. | ||
| And you're also not doing it because someone Shanghai'd you. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You're doing it because you're struggling. | ||
| Unless you're on a TV show. | ||
| Is that a reality TV show yet? | ||
| Getting help? | ||
| Maybe you have a mental illness? | ||
| That's all of them. | ||
| Let's find out. | ||
| Literally every reality show. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| But, like, I know a number of people who are mentally ill who consider getting help, and I always tell them, you know, I can't tell you what to do, but I really think... | ||
| That there's help to be had if you want to go. | ||
| I'll give you some resources. | ||
| And I try and help people as much as they can. | ||
| A lot of them don't ever follow through. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| So the idea that people are being forced into something is bizarre. | ||
| Even people who do go in often go for one session and then never go back. | ||
| But even then... | ||
| Mental health is difficult. | ||
| I'm not going to say... | ||
| I think the way that he's putting forced is such a negative... | ||
| One of the hardest parts about having mental illness is that sometimes you'll feel pressure. | ||
| And that's not feeling like you're forced to go that. | ||
| But that's like, you know, your friends are putting this pressure on you saying, you know, you should go get help. | ||
| And it makes you feel, you know, it makes you feel like you're being forced. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I can understand that. | ||
| The way he's putting it is more like the white coats are coming for you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're going to put you in a straitjacket and they're going to take you into that. | |
| Yeah, yeah, exactly. | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's a, he's a, yeah, no, he's, he's very, he's very much angering me right now. | ||
| This next clip. | ||
| You can hear it in my monotone. | ||
| I'm so worked up over this. | ||
| Well, because you're on Howl Doll. | ||
| So this next clip is where it spins into a little bit of wacky conspiracy territory. | ||
| Oh, thank God. | ||
| I've been missing that. | ||
| They are creating motor brain damage. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Just because of where that clip started. | ||
| When he says they, he's talking about the drugs, not people. | ||
| The psychiatrists are giving the drugs. | ||
| Look, but I want to be sure that I'm not giving him, like, false context. | ||
| Guns don't kill people. | ||
| Psychiatrists with guns kill people. | ||
| Psychiatrists with pill-shaped guns kill people. | ||
| Or guns that shoot pills. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| That means that your ability to move and function physiologically as a human being is damaged by these drugs. | ||
| The great reference on this is Peter Bregan's book, Toxic Psychiatry, 1991, St. Martin's Press. | ||
| Which should be on every bookshelf. | ||
| No. | ||
| So here you go. | ||
| U.S. colleges. | ||
| Which should be on every bookshelf. | ||
| Mind control. | ||
| Psychiatry is basically a mind control operation. | ||
| Diagnoses with no tests. | ||
| Completely arbitrary. | ||
| Giving you the sense that you have a mental disorder and now you're a victim and therefore you have certain privileges and rights and so forth. | ||
| I'm triggered. | ||
| I need a safe space. | ||
| Microaggressions. | ||
| The drugs are in fact scrambling your brains. | ||
| What else do you need to say that psychiatry is a mind control program? | ||
| It's the extension of MKUltra. | ||
| Of the CIA, your famous mind control program, into the entire society right out in the open. | ||
| And as Alex is fond of saying... | ||
| They're not even trying to hide it anymore. | ||
| They're just giving it to you. | ||
| Here we are. | ||
| They are trying to hide it, but there's something called the Freedom of Information Act. | ||
| They would love to still be hiding it. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He's talking about just psychiatry. | ||
| Oh, I thought he was talking mainly about MKUltra and the mic control program. | ||
| The program that ended back in the 70s? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| They're not even trying to hide it anymore. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because they can't. | ||
| It's against the law. | ||
| Because a bunch of people have sued. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And again, like, I... | ||
| I would totally understand where he's coming from if we lived in the 1920s. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Because you do have those people who are out of fucking control. | ||
| You've seen movies. | ||
| I have. | ||
| And apparently so has he. | ||
| And that's all he's been researching for 20 years. | ||
| Or, you know, like weird conspiracy blogs and shit like that. | ||
| Who wins? | ||
| Who wins if you have motor dysfunction? | ||
| See... | ||
| Who's winning? | ||
| Why is it always nobody wins? | ||
| Everybody just loses. | ||
| Well, I think that there's two possible paths he wants the argument to go down and he never really gets to either of them. | ||
| Because, of course. | ||
| The first is that if you have motor paralysis or whatever and you're fucked up, then you just become like... | ||
| That's what they want the whole population to be. | ||
| Why? | ||
| A bunch of brain-dead zombies. | ||
| But then you can't go to work! | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, they still need people to do shit. | ||
| No, it's silly. | ||
| But then the other one... | ||
| Yada, yada, yada, it's silly. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| The other idea is that you get this, you take these pills, and they scramble your brain, and because you have this mentally ill victim mentality, you go out and you start yelling that Black Lives Matter, and you're gonna end up causing a race war. | ||
| I think that that's the other argument that he can't fully flesh out. | ||
| But that's kind of what he... | ||
| That's kind of dog-whistly within this. | ||
| Because he's talking about all the safe spaces. | ||
| Yeah, no, you're right. | ||
| So much of that is about... | ||
| Black Lives Matter not being raped. | ||
| Or trans issues. | ||
| Really bad trans issues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| These sorts of things are what he's angry and confused about. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because he's an old, scared man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's an old, scared man who's mad. | ||
| Who just wants his teeth back. | ||
| That was the plot of A Dark Knight Rises, wasn't it? | ||
| That was that plot. | ||
| He wants his teeth back. | ||
| He wants someone to come over and hang that goddamn picture. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because it's too much for one man to do. | |
| So crazy. | ||
| Every time I hang out on the college campuses, nobody is hanging up that picture. | ||
| And everybody's taking drugs. | ||
| I've been waiting to talk about him for a really long time just because of how much I'm fascinated by that picture. | ||
| I want to get a really high pixel version of it so I can zoom in and see what the painting is. | ||
| Just do the TV show. | ||
| And hence. | ||
| And hence. | ||
| I want to get a really megapixel version of it, zoom in, isolate it, make a shirt of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Make a shirt of the picture that John Rappaport won't put up on the wall. | |
| Where is he? | ||
| I have no fucking idea. | ||
| He's not in a studio. | ||
| I saw the picture. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's in his attic. | |
| He's in the middle of fucking... | ||
| He looks like he's in the bayou himself. | ||
| Oh, now I'll tell you, boy. | ||
| He's got bodies in his fucking shed. | ||
| He is one of... | ||
| All of these dudes who Skype in and host the fourth hour, pretty much all of them, with the exception of Anthony Cumia has his own studio and stuff like that, but the rest of them who Skype in and do the fourth hour are just in rooms. | ||
| Like, it's weird. | ||
| And his room is the most barren. | ||
| It's so bizarre. | ||
| How great would it be if they were all in the same house? | ||
| They just had different Skype rooms? | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Like confessional on a reality TV show. | ||
| Now there is a show. | ||
| That is a show right there. | ||
| All the weirdos who are like Alex Jones associates living under one house, they have to stop being polite and start getting real. | ||
| And they have to start getting crazy. | ||
| No, they're already doing that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How... | |
| How long before they eat each other alive? | ||
| If you put all of the conspiracy people in the same house for long enough, sooner or later, they're going to eat one of them, right? | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| I mean, if you cut them off from the outside world like they do in Big Brother, they'd have to assume that everything is... | ||
| Okay, so I think a lot of people who are into these conspiracy narratives have... | ||
| I don't know what the cognitive bias would be, but they believe that things are moving faster than they actually are. | ||
| So everything is heading for a crash so fucking fast. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But it's not. | ||
| And so they always have to temper their fear. | ||
| The apocalypse cult idea, where it's always coming in a year. | ||
| They're going to take our guns, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| These sorts of things are all coming. | ||
| If you cut them off from news, I think their natural fear that things are moving fast, within a week, they'd be like... | ||
| We're cut off from the outside world, but I'm positive by now they've cut off the Second Amendment. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| That's when eating humans would start. | ||
| Well, with the amount of time Alex Jones talks about cannibalism, there is a part of me that thinks he's always this close to being like, I wonder what a human tastes like. | ||
| They did do a special report about that new show, The Santa Clarita Diet. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| It's apparently a show starring... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't worry about it. | |
| No. | ||
| We're going to go with John Rappaport. | ||
| John Rappaport is starring in the Santa Clarita Day. | ||
| Michael Rappaport. | ||
| No, who's that Drew Barrymore? | ||
| Drew Barrymore. | ||
| Who's that Drew Barrymore? | ||
| That's another show. | ||
| It's about a lady who's a cannibal. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he's like, this is just normalizing! | ||
| I'm like, no, it's not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's art. | |
| No, that's pretty much as far away from normalizing cannibalism as you can get. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But seriously, what do you think people taste like? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Do you think they taste like pigs? | ||
| Well, here's the thing. | ||
| I think it's different by different cuts of meat. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because, you know, like your ass would be like a much more fatty kind of meat. | ||
| If Alex Jones did listen to this show and we went on a long rant about what humans taste like. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Well, like your bicep would be like fast twitch muscle. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So it's stringy? | ||
| Yeah, it would be more like the white meat kind of shit, as I recall. | ||
| I had a long conversation with my doctor friend, Dr. Gumbs, about this. | ||
| Dr. Gums lost his teeth eating people. | ||
| Chicken is white meat because most of their body is muscles. | ||
| That has to move really fast. | ||
| Because they are the best race. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The superior meat. | ||
| Cows, a lot of their muscles are slow twitch muscles. | ||
| They don't have to move very fast. | ||
| And so there's the fat marbles. | ||
| That's why they're tender. | ||
| That's why you have the red meat there. | ||
| So I think your ass would be like red meat. | ||
| And maybe your thighs. | ||
| And then your bicep would be white. | ||
| I would probably go bicep. | ||
| You would go bicep? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm a chicken and poultry kind of guy. | ||
| Everybody, what... | ||
| What type of... | ||
| What part of a man would you eat is a new corner on this show. | ||
| And if you say dick, I got a high five for you. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| We got to come back to the center. | ||
| All right. | ||
| But also hit us up on Twitter at knowledge underscore fight. | ||
| Tell us what type of person you would eat. | ||
| Alright, so this is fun. | ||
| He talks some more bullshit, and then he goes to break, and he introduces a clip that we're not going to listen to, but it's a clip that goes back to fears about Agenda 21. Because if 25% of all college students in the U.S. are being diagnosed or treated for a mental disorder... | ||
| Which is a majority of them. | ||
| These are nothing more than psychiatric clinics. | ||
| They are... | ||
| Little nests that produce violence and craziness and insanity. | ||
| That's where the insanity begins. | ||
| What? | ||
| That's where it comes up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're going to take a break in a couple minutes, but I want to tell you, after we come back from the break, stay with us, because what I'm talking about is mind control, slavery over the mind. | ||
| What Rob do in his report, which is coming right up, is talking about is taking over our physical world through Agenda 21. See, now that's actually some pretty good music to close out on that piece, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's how I would want the Mind Control Masters to play music. | ||
| A little bit of rockin'? | ||
| That's a little bit like Mad Max Fury Road. | ||
| It's a little bit like the guy on the guitar that shoots flames out. | ||
| I've also noticed that he has some bumper music that he plays, like Alex Jones plays on the show, that I have to assume the artists don't know. | ||
| That they're being used. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| Like, as he comes back from break with Moby's Extreme Ways. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No way! | |
| Sometimes, like, Moby could not have signed off on this. | ||
| Moby definitely did not sign off on this. | ||
| I know that he's fine with, like, selling his music to commercials and stuff like that, because then he just gives them money to charity. | ||
| Yeah, that's against copyright law, isn't it? | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| No, he doesn't. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| I mean, no, no, no. | ||
| Moby can do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah, yeah. | |
| Alex Jones can't do that without Moby's consent because Alex Jones is making money off of that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's illegal. | ||
| He might have some sort of a deal with, like, the record label or something like that. | ||
| Yeah, he may have, like, a Muzak deal where you can, you know. | ||
| But Moby would be pissed about that. | ||
| I would assume so. | ||
| He is anti-whatever-this-bullshit-is. | ||
| So anyway, Rob Dewan. | ||
| That's like if he played Morrissey songs. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the only way to support mental illness more than this special report is play some fucking Morrissey. | ||
| Play some fucking Morrissey. | ||
| Play some Mars! | ||
| So he goes to commercial, they come back and they play this long special report by Rob Dew about Agenda 21. Right. | ||
| And it's more nonsense. | ||
| It's more completely unfounded bullshit about how the elites want to put you into inner city ghettos. | ||
| Where you'll have a coffin apartment, it's all this same stuff. | ||
| Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Again, if you want to look into Agenda 21, I have no interest in covering it on this show, but you can read up on it and realize why it's all bullshit. | ||
| It's a non-binding UN suggestion sheet. | ||
| About the age that people should be allowed to drink. | ||
| With a scary name. | ||
| It's a terrible name. | ||
| So, Batman comes back from break after this special report, and he ties it in to his theme. | ||
| Which is nonsense. | ||
| And then gives a case study about what he's talking about that everyone should fucking listen to and get scared accordingly. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| So you saw that terrific report by Rob. | ||
| That was a terrific report. | ||
| So now think of this in relation to what I've been talking about. | ||
| Completely unrelated. | ||
| Now you're going to have people Desperate, more desperate, and more desperate. | ||
| And somebody's going to say, well, you should really see somebody. | ||
| You should talk to a professional. | ||
| If you are desperate, please talk to a professional. | ||
| But his argument, the way that he weaves A to B there, is that Agenda 21 is going to make people sad, and then people will be like, hey, you should go to a therapist. | ||
| The sad world that's going to be happening because the elites are going to force us into inner city ghettos with no choice. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And all this will lead people to go to therapy and then therapists will... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| It's dumb. | ||
| So are we in full Scientology psychiatrist control the world situation? | ||
| Are the elites all psychiatrists? | ||
| Or are they just propping up the psychiatry industry as a front for their mind control program? | ||
| Boy, I tell you what. | ||
| That's something he does not wrestle with. | ||
| Boy, I tell you what. | ||
| That's something he does not wrestle with at all. | ||
| We talked about this earlier, and I speculated a couple possibilities, but he doesn't really explain what's the endgame for the psychologists. | ||
| Well, as we get into so many times, when you war games these things, we all get into trouble. | ||
| So it's like, and then what? | ||
| I mean, I hate to sound like Young Jeezy, but then what? | ||
| You know, like, where do we go? | ||
| Like, what's the point? | ||
| You have a brain-dead population that is unable to work. | ||
| And can't move, yeah. | ||
| And can't move in some cases. | ||
| So now you just have potatoes. | ||
| You just got a whole world of potatoes. | ||
| And we all know how that worked out for the Irish. | ||
| And the economy then is done. | ||
| It's potato-based. | ||
| Is there an image in his head, I guess is what I'm asking, of like... | ||
| Psychiatrists delighting in hurting people. | ||
| That's a really good question. | ||
| Does he think psychiatrists are in on it, or does he think that they're just... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| They're just the Nazis at Auschwitz, just thinking they're going to work every day like regular Joes. | ||
| I sincerely don't know, and I don't think he does either. | ||
| I really don't think he knows what his argument is. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| So anyway. | ||
| We should ask Dr. Pies. | ||
| Oh, you know what? | ||
| Next episode, we're going to give Dr. Pies a call. | ||
| I'm going to send him an email. | ||
| Oh, yay! | ||
| That'd be fun. | ||
| I'm not going to do that. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Oh, it's not what's happening outside in the world. | ||
| That has nothing to do with it. | ||
| No, it's something, you know, inside your brain. | ||
| Get diagnosed, in other words. | ||
| Why don't they just come out and say, hey, get diagnosed. | ||
| What do you say? | ||
| Join the crowd. | ||
| Everybody loves it. | ||
| We're all getting diagnosed this week. | ||
| This is diagnosis week. | ||
| Barack Obama has come out of retirement along with Bill Clinton, a skeletal figure, and they're all saying, along with Hillary Clinton, it takes a village to get diagnosed. | ||
| Let's all get diagnosed this week. | ||
| This is diagnosis week for mental disorders for the entire population because now that we're stuffing you into tiny spaces and making you exceedingly claustrophobic and taking away all your money and destroying the middle class, And basically, you know, gutting the nation. | ||
| It's time to get diagnosed, folks. | ||
| It really takes a village to get diagnosed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the truth. | ||
| It's weird how everything he's saying is correct, even though he thinks he's saying it sarcastically. | ||
| Like you should get diagnosed? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it does take a village. | ||
| It's a good idea to have a support structure in place. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've also known some people... | ||
| And there is National Mental Illness Day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And also, this is an interesting thing that I just realized. | ||
| I've known a couple people who have gone to therapists and psychiatrists, and they've been like, you're fine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That does happen. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not every psychiatrist that doesn't... | ||
| You know, want to find an issue that they can try and help with. | ||
| True. | ||
| But there are psychiatrists out there who are like, I don't think medication is appropriate. | ||
| I think maybe you should talk to somebody. | ||
| That does exist in the world. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Not everybody's trying to get everyone in on a shell game. | ||
| And there are doctors who are like, you have high blood pressure, but maybe you should just stop eating garbage, you idiot. | ||
| Fix your diet. | ||
| I don't want to give you these weird pills. | ||
| Stop doing that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| So even take it out of the mental health arena. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So anyway, he's about to get to this case study. | ||
| And here's what I'd like you to remember. | ||
| I am gonna try so hard. | ||
| This case study is anecdotal. | ||
| It's from a book. | ||
| Which means it's always the most reliable information. | ||
| It's anonymous. | ||
| Well, I mean, there's a name given, but it's obviously a pseudonym. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| Which is a good thing. | ||
| It's a good thing if you're gonna do case studies. | ||
| Gotta protect privacy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, absolutely. | |
| But also, this book was written 26 years ago. | ||
| Before he even started his investigation? | ||
| Yeah, six years before. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| But so, like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which is a majority of years before he started the investigation. | |
| Think about what pills we have now that weren't discovered back then. | ||
| Think about therapies that we've developed that didn't exist 26 years ago. | ||
| There's a lot. | ||
| Spanking was still a legitimate therapy 26 years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you could get spanked in a school. | |
| Corporal punishment. | ||
| That's a real thing! | ||
| Or they even just hit you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| That seems crazy now, right? | ||
| Nuts! | ||
| That seems bananas! | ||
| Yeah, there's a zero-tolerance policy for that. | ||
| Although, when I was in high school, a teacher did hit me. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| I hit him back. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| It was weird. | ||
| Anyway, that's a story for another day. | ||
| You need to talk to Dr. Pies. | ||
| You may have some lasting damage. | ||
| Are we going to get into a trigger warning for you right here? | ||
| Here's a trigger warning. | ||
| This case study is stupid. | ||
| Takes a village mentality, a global village mentality, to get diagnosed. | ||
| Good we got globalism. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, mind-blowing. | ||
| I'm going to try to raise a document up here for myself. | ||
| You will not see it, hopefully. | ||
| He doesn't know how to use technology. | ||
| You will not see it, hopefully? | ||
| I don't think he understands what's the Skype connection, what's actually being relayed. | ||
| Bless you. | ||
| To the video camera. | ||
| I'm not sure he knows, so he thinks if he moves something on his screen, it will play on Infowars.com. | ||
| And that's not like... | ||
| I mean, he's an old man. | ||
| He's an old man. | ||
| I'm not making fun of him. | ||
| He's an old man. | ||
| I'm not making fun of him. | ||
| I just wanted to give context for what he was saying. | ||
| Right, but also... | ||
| It's kind of funny. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| It's a little funny. | ||
| Come on, Batman. | ||
| Get your technique. | ||
| Where's Alfred? | ||
| Alfred does your technology for you. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Get Batgirl in there. | ||
| Okay, we're still here. | ||
| I'm your basic primitive writer. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I want to read you a short passage from Peter Bregan's 1991 book, Toxic Psychiatry. | ||
| This is a revelation, okay? | ||
| I'm going to excerpt this a little bit. | ||
| Sudonym. | ||
| Roberta was a college student, getting good grades, mostly A's, when she first became depressed and sought psychiatric help with the recommendation of her university health service, right? | ||
| Talk about Agenda 21. She was 18 at the time, right? | ||
| When was Agenda 21? | ||
| 1992. | ||
| Strange! | ||
| Strange! | ||
| A year after this book was written. | ||
| Talk about Agenda 21. Well, she's the proto. | ||
| Right. | ||
| She's the anecdotal. | ||
| Case by which they invented Agenda 21. I'm fucking amazed that you came up with that. | ||
| So fast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at this. | |
| Look at my note there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Look at my note right there. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Book written before Agenda 21. I had that note just in case I forgot. | ||
| It was so obvious that this didn't happen. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| The anecdote might have happened, but his analogy, his assessment of it, that talk about Agenda 21. No, yeah, that's what I'm saying. | ||
| It's such bullshit. | ||
| Nonsense. | ||
| Trying to just shift facts to whatever conclusion you already have in your mind. | ||
| Which he has to get to because he's about to go to bed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, God, he's so sleepy. | ||
| He's so sleepy. | ||
| And this show, he's broadcasting this. | ||
| I mean, I don't know what time zone he's in, but it has to be like 3 p.m. | ||
| So, take a nap, Rappaport. | ||
| And well-motivated, very good candidate, blah, blah, blah, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| Going through a sophomore year identity crisis about dating men, succeeding in school, planning a future. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Under a lot of stress. | ||
| Instead of moral support and insight, her doctor gave her Haldol. | ||
| That's an antipsychotic. | ||
| That is a neuroleptic, a major tranquilizer. | ||
| Those are all names for that class of drugs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Over the next four years, get this now, listen. | |
| Six different physicians watched her deteriorate neurologically without warning her or her family about tardive dyskinesia, motor brain damage, The diagnosis. | ||
| Even when she was overtly twitching in her arms and legs. | ||
| Instead, they switched her from one neuroleptic to another, including nivane, stelazine, and thorazine. | ||
| Eventually, a rehabilitation therapist became concerned enough to send her to a general physician who made the diagnosis of medical drug damage. | ||
| By then, she was permanently physically disabled with a loss of 30% of her IQ. | ||
| And then Bregan says, my medical evaluation described her condition. | ||
| Grossly disfigured and severely disabled human being who can no longer control her body. | ||
| She suffers from extreme writhing movements and spathoms involving the face, neck, head, shoulders, limbs, extremities, torso, and back, nearly the entire body. | ||
| She's had difficulty. | ||
| She's standing, sitting, or lying down, and the difficulties worsen as she attempts to carry out voluntary actions. | ||
| At one point, she could not prevent her head from banging against nearby furniture. | ||
| She could hold a lip to her cup only with great difficulty, etc., etc. | ||
| Even her respiratory movements are seriously afflicted so that her speech comes out in grunts and gasps amidst spasms. | ||
| Roberta may improve somewhat after several months off the neuroleptic drugs, but she will never again have anything remotely resembling a normal life. | ||
| That's tragic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's really sad. | ||
| Get it? | ||
| I mean, that can happen literally anywhere with just about anything. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, she could have tripped. | ||
| Well, I know, but that argument doesn't really help. | ||
| No, it doesn't help, but it is one of those things where she's dealing with such a unique circumstance, such a rare circumstance, that that anecdotal situation always fucking crushes me. | ||
| Yeah, it's very sad. | ||
| Because it's always like, hey, we had one guy, this happened, and it is a tragedy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It really is. | ||
| It's sad. | ||
| It's about worst case scenario, kind of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Bad drug reactions. | ||
| And that it's tragic that that happens. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| It's not indicative of the psychiatry as a whole. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Not even close. | ||
| So I was thinking... | ||
| There's how many... | ||
| It's one of those things where it is like how many patients per year are killed by doctor error as opposed to what's going on. | ||
| And it's a lot. | ||
| A lot of people are killed by Dr. Air. | ||
| A lot of that is like in surgery. | ||
| Yeah, or just any number of misdiagnoses or mixed diagnoses. | ||
| All of these different possible outcomes. | ||
| But you'd still rather go to a fucking doctor than not. | ||
| What if it's Dr. Wallach? | ||
| If it's Dr. Wallach, I would take my cat to him. | ||
| He's a really good veterinarian. | ||
| He apparently is. | ||
| He invented these pills. | ||
| They made somebody else's cat super strong. | ||
| Also, the use of case studies is... | ||
| It's illustrative of points you want to make, but it's not necessarily... | ||
| It's not really a fair way to make an argument. | ||
| Because if you want to pin all of that on the art of psychiatry, you're wrong. | ||
| If you want to make the argument, hey, there are some bad doctors, sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No one's going to dispute that point. | ||
| Or even some good doctors who made mistakes. | ||
| My uncle was a psychiatrist. | ||
| Did he kill Roberta? | ||
| He didn't. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Are we sure? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm fairly sure. | ||
| I don't know how much I want to say about him. | ||
| I'll just spell this out. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You just did a full-on Alex Jones right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Where it's like, I'm not sure I want to tell you guys about this. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I'm going to tell you guys about this. | ||
| But I don't know how much of his business I should put on the streets. | ||
| No, I agree. | ||
| I don't know how much should be public. | ||
| I'll keep it above board. | ||
| I'll do public stuff. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| With your wiener. | ||
| He was... | ||
| And I think he still is a psychiatrist. | ||
| And he had written a bunch of books about multiple personality disorder. | ||
| Which does not exist. | ||
| No, but at the time it was seen as a real thing. | ||
| All the rage, yeah. | ||
| It was one of these really hot diagnoses. | ||
| It's now dissociative... | ||
| Personality disorder. | ||
| Or dissociative identity disorder. | ||
| There's a much more robust understanding of what it is and what can cause it. | ||
| And his whole thing, and he wrote like two or three books about it. | ||
| He believed in his clinical opinion that multiple personality disorder is caused by satanic ritual abuse and the cure is Jesus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| So he has these books and they're full of case studies. | ||
| They're full of case studies with a pseudonym and these horrifying stories and then Jesus... | ||
| Helping out. | ||
| Just like those fucking anti-gay conversion therapies, like that whole bullshit. | ||
| Right, but any kind of... | ||
| That makes me very angry. | ||
| It makes me mad too. | ||
| If you knew more about how much of a weirdo my uncle is, you'd be even madder. | ||
| But the point I'm trying to make is that when you have these case studies, they can sort of tell the narrative that you want to tell without it actually being really based in... | ||
| Scientific or clinical fact? | ||
| And that's the whole short circuit of human beings. | ||
| We love the story. | ||
| Tell me the story. | ||
| I get all caught up in it. | ||
| It's got a beginning. | ||
| It's got a middle. | ||
| It's got an end. | ||
| We got quiet and sad while he was telling that story. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's tragic. | ||
| I feel for her. | ||
| I have empathy for another human being. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And so it can warp your perception. | ||
| But then you go to the word statistics in the diagnostic manual. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's so important. | ||
| It's so important. | ||
| And that's a very small... | ||
| Some people have said they were cured because of anti-gay conversion therapy. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Some of them have. | ||
| Whether or not they have is they probably haven't, but they've said it. | ||
| So you can point to those case studies as being, oh, this works. | ||
| But the large majority... | ||
| Are not helped and are only damaged, only hurt by this bullshit. | ||
| So you're just hurting people with that narrative. | ||
| It's a narrative that deserves to be told, I agree, but it is a fucking damaging narrative. | ||
| But it's also a narrative that doesn't deal with reality, it deals with the story you want to tell. | ||
| Like, the story that my uncle would want to tell is that these people who are... | ||
| Journey to the West? | ||
| He loves Chinese literature. | ||
| I was just thinking of Fievel goes up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no cats in America. | |
| So, the story that my uncle would want to tell is that these people told him about... | ||
| Also, that is fake news. | ||
| There are cats in America. | ||
| It is fake news! | ||
| Ah, the Chi-Coms want to tell you there's no cats over here. | ||
| So, but like, the idea is you're telling a story that fits the story you've already decided to tell as opposed to letting the truth... | ||
| Dictate where the story goes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| And that's unfortunate. | ||
| Well, that's classic confirmation bias. | ||
| And that's what Batman's doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Batman loves confirmation bias. | ||
| Confirmatious bias. | ||
| Confirmatious bias. | ||
| So here's the next clip. | ||
| This is where he gets a little bit real with it, and he warns you that withdrawals are a real thing. | ||
| They are. | ||
| And then he goes the wrong direction. | ||
| Do you not suddenly stop taking your medication? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| Talk with your psychiatrist. | ||
| If you are going to quit your medication, please do so responsibly. | ||
| And if you tell them that you want to get off things, they will help you. | ||
| They will! | ||
| They're not going to be like, they're going to give you advice, and then if you're going to do it, they're going to try and help you do it the safest way possible. | ||
| Yeah, you know what it turns out? | ||
| Doctors work at your direction. | ||
| They like it! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, they don't necessarily like it when you direct them. | ||
| I'm sure it's kind of frustrating when you have a direction that you think the therapy would go best, and the patient says, I don't want to do that. | ||
| Can you imagine being a doctor? | ||
| And having some parent come up to you and say, oh, I don't want my kid to be vaccinated. | ||
| Can you imagine how frustrated you would be? | ||
| That would be insane. | ||
| It would be the most angering moment. | ||
| I get angry now whenever I hear somebody say, I'm not sure about vaccines. | ||
| Just the I'm not sure part makes me want to fucking punch them in the face. | ||
| I have doubts. | ||
| Yeah, no, no. | ||
| Fucking, hey, did you, do you have polio? | ||
| No, then fucking shut up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Every day you don't have polio, you should thank a vaccine. | ||
| Thank you, vaccines. | ||
| Or measles, mumps, and rubella. | ||
| Yeah, what day is today? | ||
| It's vaccine awareness day. | ||
| It's vaccine awareness day. | ||
| Every day is vaccine awareness day. | ||
| And it's Batman awareness day. | ||
| Now, Bragan warns, and I want you to make sure you understand, withdrawing rapidly from any psychiatric drug can be worse. | ||
| Then taking the drug. | ||
| We're talking about very dangerous and even life-threatening problems. | ||
| So this is in no way a recommendation to anybody who may be on one of these drugs to just get off of it. | ||
| Bregan.com, B-R-E-G-G-I-N.com is the website of Peter Bregan. | ||
| He's written a book about withdrawing from psychiatric drugs. | ||
| He recommends it be done by a professional who knows what he's doing. | ||
| Etc. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I think you're probably getting the message now in this investigative report on the number one mind control program at colleges. | ||
| Psychiatrist. | ||
| And now I want to talk about super blue fluoride-free toothpaste. | ||
| My wife read about this. | ||
| She was very enthusiastic. | ||
| After being sold out for months at infowarslife.com, it's back. | ||
| Gums research indicates contribute to the development, can contribute to the development of heart disease, heart attacks. | ||
| When bacteria infect your gums, it can enter the bloodstream and even contribute to blood clots. | ||
| God, I love this fucking show. | ||
| He goes on for like three minutes about this great toothpaste. | ||
| Hey, and you know what? | ||
| If you stop using that toothpaste... | ||
| No negative side effects. | ||
| No withdrawals. | ||
| You can switch directly to a regular toothpaste. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What was it called? | ||
| Super Blue? | ||
| It's created by Alex Jones' dad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, God. | |
| You know what they do? | ||
| Super Blue. | ||
| It turns your teeth blue! | ||
| They get toothpaste from Tom's of Maine. | ||
| Is that real? | ||
| Alex keeps doing this thing where he's like, we get it from the top organic, you know, it's up in Maine. | ||
| We can't say the name because, you know, we... | ||
| Because we're stealing it. | ||
| Well, no, because they have a subcontract or whatever. | ||
| So they get the toothpaste from Tom's of Maine, and then he puts colloidal silver and iodine in the toothpaste. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the fuck? | |
| Along with peppermint oil and tea tree oil. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| That sounds way less dangerous than the colloidal silver and the iodine. | ||
| Alex would like you to know that sometimes the peppermint is a little too strong for kids, so they're coming out with a bubblegum flavor. | ||
| Oh, yay! | ||
| It's still on the way. | ||
| Do you know... | ||
| No, it's coming. | ||
| Bubblegum flavor was very important to me taking medication as a child. | ||
| Man, it wasn't for me. | ||
| I always thought that fake bubblegum stuff was gross. | ||
| Oh, so important. | ||
| Did you know in the 50s they actually had radioactive toothpaste? | ||
| I did not know that. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Everything was radioactive for a while in the 50s because the nuclear bomb had just dropped and people were like, oh, look at how amazing all of these radioactive things are. | ||
| So people would actually have glow-in-the-dark teeth. | ||
| You would clean your floor with glow-in-the-dark shit because it was radioactive as fuck. | ||
| They even had these tests where they would detonate a nuclear bomb, right? | ||
| And the tactic they were thinking about is, after that, when you have that giant cloud, maybe we should have an army march through that. | ||
| So, they actually had... | ||
| Are you talking about, like, for optics? | ||
| No, no, for attacks. | ||
| To create super soldiers? | ||
| No, no, just to hide. | ||
| Just to hide in the smoke. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, thousands of soldiers wound up having all kinds of radioactive diseases because they didn't understand that was bad for you. | ||
| So people lost their teeth because they did all of this shit. | ||
| Now, you know why we don't learn about that? | ||
| What was that? | ||
| Globalists. | ||
| Probably globalists. | ||
| Globalists. | ||
| George Soros. | ||
| Oh man, I wish I had my Spotify up. | ||
| It's not Imagine Dragons. | ||
| Who did that song? | ||
| I'm radioactive. | ||
| You know that song? | ||
| It's a good song. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure which one you're referencing. | ||
| I think now is the time to let that go. | ||
| Alright, Batman comes back and... | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no, radioactive! | ||
| He has... | ||
| This clip is just about the fear. | ||
| The fear! | ||
| This is fear-mongering. | ||
| Not the movie fear starring Marky Mark. | ||
| Nor cape fear. | ||
| Nor primal fear. | ||
| It's just the fear. | ||
| Just the fear. | ||
| He wants you to be scared, and also he has this awesome roleplay that he does with a fake doctor. | ||
| Oh, thank God. | ||
| That is... | ||
| His roleplay so far has been, one, confusing. | ||
| And toothless. | ||
| And toothless, yeah. | ||
| And both ways. | ||
| Yes, yeah. | ||
| So many different ways it has been toothless, yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What else on this merry voyage through insanity created by psychiatry? | ||
| You'll see in the article that I wrote about this up at Infowars and also at No More Fake News that even drugs like Ritalin can have fantastically dangerous effects. | ||
| Psychotic breaks. | ||
| Literally all drugs. | ||
| Aggressive, violent behavior. | ||
| Literally all drugs. | ||
| All the drugs. | ||
| And think about this. | ||
| This so-called, you know, oh, ADHD, everybody's getting it. | ||
| Get diagnosed. | ||
| Get the drug, sure. | ||
| The drugs are very, very closely related to amphetamines. | ||
| Do you mean other drugs? | ||
| They are amphetamine-type drugs. | ||
| The boys at Infowars now have it up on the screen. | ||
| Some of the effects of Ritalin, paranoid delusions, paranoid psychosis. | ||
| Visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, can surpass LSD in producing bizarre experiences. | ||
| That sounds fun. | ||
| I wanted to check in here. | ||
| Radioactive was a song by The Firm. | ||
| The Firm! | ||
| That super group made up of Paul Rogers from Bad Company. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Guitarist Jimmy Page. | ||
| Drummer Chris Slade from Manford Man's Earth Band. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Manford Man's Earth Band? | ||
| And Uriah Heep. | ||
| That's the... | ||
| No. | ||
| Manford Man's Earth Band is now my favorite band. | ||
| That name is amazing. | ||
| They did a blinded by the light. | ||
| Ribbed up like a deuce. | ||
| I don't want to know. | ||
| I don't want to believe that they made music. | ||
| I want to just believe it was people called Manfred Mann's... | ||
| Earth Band. | ||
| Earth Band. | ||
| I just needed to prove that Radioactive was... | ||
| All right. | ||
| I believed you. | ||
| I'm Radioactive. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Screen withdrawal. | ||
| Started screaming. | ||
| Aggressiveness. | ||
| Insomnia. | ||
| Decreased REM sleep. | ||
| On and on. | ||
| He's just listing side effects. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, they are real, but they happen in very small... | ||
| There have been zero... | ||
| I don't know if I've ever seen any drug that had like, hey, no side effects. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're cool. | |
| None. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Well, placebo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Perfect. | |
| Placebos work. | ||
| By the way, try out super male vitality. | ||
| No reason that is right next to the words placebo. | ||
| I'm not sure if that's actually a placebo. | ||
| As we've discussed, it's probably just full of testosterone. | ||
| Yeah, that's possible. | ||
| Or it's full of nonsense. | ||
| Hypertension. | ||
| Seizures. | ||
| Convulsions. | ||
| Everybody knows who's familiar with amphetamine-type drugs. | ||
| I really wish... | ||
| Smell face. | ||
| This is where we need, like, a Babadooka list. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, the Babadooka list, yeah. | |
| Hanging toe. | ||
| Fisherman's elbow. | ||
| That if you take them for a certain length of time, after the initial wow wears off, like, boy, I've got increased clarity. | ||
| This is terrific. | ||
| I can study and so on and so on. | ||
| He's talking about amphetamines, just to give some context in case I was lost with our laughing. | ||
| Whoa, meth. | ||
| Ooh, meth. | ||
| Did you never see that? | ||
| An evening out occurs. | ||
| A crash occurs in many people. | ||
| They crash. | ||
| A speed crash is what they used to call it on the street. | ||
| Now the person is in fantastically bad shape. | ||
| Huddling in a corner. | ||
| So consider a child. | ||
| Consider a child. | ||
| Or a college student. | ||
| Back to the psychiatrist. | ||
| What does the psychiatrist say? | ||
| Well, from what you're saying here, it's obvious to me that you... | ||
| Are really suffering from clinical depression now. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Really, doctor? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Well, I mean, I'm assuming that's related to the drug that you gave me for ADHD. | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| Is this going to be a letter to Penthouse? | ||
| There couldn't be any relationship to the drug for ADHD. | ||
| No, this is the emergence of a new condition. | ||
| Clinical depression, and so I'm going to put you on Zoloft. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And now the circus moves into phase two. | |
| The brain-destroying, mind-destroying circus moves into phase two. | ||
| Because now what we're talking about here is the person, the child, the student is in the system. | ||
| And I'll give you a potential phase three. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh! | |
| Wait, so nobody's ever done Phase 3 before? | ||
| This is a potential Phase 3. He's just making up Phase 3. I think he's giving you a what could happen. | ||
| What could happen, okay. | ||
| But, yeah, based on his language, it does sound like we've never gotten there. | ||
| Yeah, no, nobody's ever made it to Phase 3, but Phase 3 is Super Mario Brothers is real. | ||
| I think there's a part of him that is sort of wrestling with internally, like, I don't have any proof of what I'm saying. | ||
| So that potential phase three is kind of the little cracks in the armor showing of like, I'm not really making a good argument here. | ||
| Anytime you hear anybody on Infowars do that thing where they're like, consider the person, the child, the college student. | ||
| It's like, you only needed to say one of those things. | ||
| You're saying all of those things because you ain't had much else to say. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You're doing some bullshit filler. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You're changing the size of your font to 14 instead of 12. You're pretending you're me talking about the firm. | ||
| Antidepressant. | ||
| Up, down, up, down, back to the psychiatrist. | ||
| Well, says the psychiatrist in his jolly frame of mind. | ||
| Up, down, up, down, back to the psychiatrist. | ||
| What I'm now seeing, actually, coming out behind all of this is bipolar. | ||
| That's what's going on here. | ||
| That's me! | ||
| The up and the down. | ||
| What we used to call manic depression. | ||
| You have your ups and you have your downs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You sure, doctor, that this is not connected to any of the drugs I've been taking? | |
| Because it really seems like it is. | ||
| I love having my mental illness. | ||
| You know, you got your ups, you got your downs. | ||
| You definitely don't have two weeks where you're a fucking lunatic. | ||
| That's just you being crazy. | ||
| He's also sort of making the argument that, like... | ||
| Amphetamines and then Zoloft, which Zoloft doesn't bring you down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Or anything like that. | ||
| But he's saying, you take these antidepressants, you have the ups of the amphetamines, the downs of the antidepressants, and that's what bipolar is. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| Very. | ||
| Dumb. | ||
| Uninformed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like he's never talked to anybody who has mental illness. | ||
| He's never talked to anybody. | ||
| He's never talked to any legitimate psychiatrist. | ||
| Or psychologist. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| He has talked to one person who has mental illness. | ||
| Are you talking about the Joker? | ||
| I am talking about him. | ||
| I am talking about when Batman looks into the mirror, he sees the Joker. | ||
| I'm not sure that he's ever really had a conversation with himself. | ||
| I'm not sure he's ever had a conversation with anybody else. | ||
| He's married. | ||
| What? | ||
| I found that out. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| I don't know what it means. | ||
| Let's meet her. | ||
| Yeah, God, I would love to. | ||
| I bet she's on InfoWars, too. | ||
| Has she ever written anything for No More Fake News? | ||
| I bet she's pissed off that he doesn't put up that picture. | ||
| John! | ||
| John, stop Skyping with your friends! | ||
| And put up that goddamn picture! | ||
| Wait, what is this? | ||
| That's, uh, I'm just an old... | ||
| That's the New Jersey mom from the 50s? | ||
| I have to assume she's like 70 also, right? | ||
| She's gotta be, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, he's up there in age. | ||
| He's not banging around with a 20-year-old. | ||
| John, please come downstairs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
John. | |
| John? | ||
| I picture John Rappaport with a slightly domineering wife. | ||
| John Franklin Rappaport III, Michael Rappaport Jr. | ||
| I'm doing my research! | ||
| I'm up here in my attic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You have been working on this for 20 years now. | |
| You have yet to call Dr. Pies. | ||
| I love my characterization of her as being very analytical in her anger. | ||
| I got nothing but respect for her. | ||
| She's got to be a saint to live with this man. | ||
| We'll find out. | ||
| Listen, I'm the professional here. | ||
| Where did you get such an idea? | ||
| You must have been reading some crazy stuff somewhere. | ||
| We're talking about mental disorders and the medicines used to treat them here. | ||
| I'm the pro. | ||
| So now we get into valproate and we get into Depakote. | ||
| These are much heavier drugs with much heavier potential effects. | ||
| And the circus goes on. | ||
| And as I read you that excerpt, From toxic psychiatry about the student named Roberta, this could very well be the outcome. | ||
| And if it's not the outcome, you've got kids at colleges going all over the place, doing all kinds of disorders. | ||
| They just let them leave and go anywhere! | ||
| Those college kids can just go anywhere! | ||
|
unidentified
|
They don't even keep them there! | |
| They're going up, down, to the left, to the right. | ||
| So he ends this segment, which is just about the end of the special report, by being like, so, you know, he does that long fantasy role play with a doctor, where he's like, hey doctor, maybe these drugs that you're giving me are making me feel bad, and they're creating new things. | ||
| No, I'm a doctor! | ||
| So that's that long role play. | ||
| And then he's like, so, you know, these situations could happen. | ||
| They just go up and up and have heavier and heavier medications. | ||
| And then you heard that case study I read you from that book from 26 years ago. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| That could be the outcome. | ||
| But if it's not the outcome, you could be on campus being crazy. | ||
| You're not making a point. | ||
| He's doing the whole same gateway drug marijuana thing. | ||
| He's doing the whole thing. | ||
| He wishes that's what he was doing. | ||
| He's not even doing that. | ||
| He's not even coming close to that. | ||
| He's not making a point. | ||
| There's nothing there. | ||
| No, his point is that literally anything can happen at any time, and you should always be afraid. | ||
| I fucking respect Scientologists more than this. | ||
| Because at least they have the balls to just stand on their argument. | ||
| No, they don't. | ||
| They're wrong. | ||
| They've kept it secret for a long, long time. | ||
| They're not secret about how much they hate psychiatrists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| No, that's true. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| Not their whole thing. | ||
| But the argument against psychiatry, I think that they... | ||
| My... | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| L. Ron Hubbard. | ||
| He wasn't allowed to become a psychiatrist. | ||
| And so Scientology was born. | ||
| Purely out of spite. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And most of it was about how he masturbated too much. | |
| Scientology is bad. | ||
| Most of it is about how he masturbated too much. | ||
| Scientology is bad. | ||
| But you do have to respect a religion that was not built on anything other than pure spite. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| That's badass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm with you. | |
| Gotta give him credit for that. | ||
| I'm with you. | ||
| But that doesn't take away from the fact that Batman isn't making any points. | ||
| His whole... | ||
| If you synthesize his argument, it is that trigger culture, safe space stuff... | ||
| I completely forgot we started with trigger culture. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's no way that that has anything to do with where we ended up. | ||
| I told you. | ||
| No, that's fucking crazy. | ||
| Why did he start with trigger culture? | ||
| Because that's where his argument begins with... | ||
| Also, there's no such thing as trigger culture. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| No! | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's just... | |
| You fucking fucked up shit happens and then people... | ||
| If you're a 70-year-old man who lives in his attic and... | ||
| It's all... | ||
| InfoWars, it does exist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because all you read is Drudge Report in InfoWars and you see this bullshit version of the world and you're like, oh, look at these uppity blacks who are trying to... | ||
| They're so mad that people want to put on blackface. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a costume. | |
| I really wish you hadn't said uppity. | ||
| It was in character. | ||
| Bums me out whenever, anytime anybody says uppity. | ||
| There's no good use for the word uppity. | ||
| Unless you're scatting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Then it's good. | ||
| Unless you're Scatman Carruthers. | ||
| Or Scatman John, God rest his soul. | ||
| Also, Scatman Carruthers is dead, too. | ||
| He is dead. | ||
| There's no Scatman. | ||
| Well, he died at the end of The Shining. | ||
| That was a documentary, right? | ||
| Let me be clear about this. | ||
| If we get to the point. | ||
| Where we can speak to Scatman Carruthers. | ||
| No. | ||
| If we get to the point where there are enough donations to this show that we can quit our jobs, I will legally change my name to Scatman Carruthers. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| I swear to God I will hold you to that. | ||
| I will hold you to that. | ||
| Look. | ||
| I will do that. | ||
| I never wanted success for this more than I do right now. | ||
| I'll also get a Scat Dan tattoo. | ||
| Frankly, I'm really sweetening the pot here. | ||
| In all honesty, I'm this close to getting a Scat Dan right now. | ||
| Alright, so Batman's got to close this out with his sort of synthesis and his conclusion. | ||
| Let's see if he does a good job. | ||
| See if he really brings it home. | ||
| He didn't. | ||
| So I think now we need to find out how many people in Congress are on psychiatric drugs after watching that. | ||
| I think that's the next step. | ||
| Because... | ||
| I don't think that's okay. | ||
| I think that's against the law. | ||
| That's related to a clip that we talked about on yesterday's episode. | ||
| He's talking about all this crazy bullshit. | ||
| It's irrelevant. | ||
| Sure not making any sense. | ||
| We are nearing the end of this hour. | ||
| Takeaways. | ||
| The number one mind control program at US colleges is psychiatry. | ||
| 25% of all college students in the US have either been diagnosed or treated for mental disorder. | ||
| This explains... | ||
| Is it the school newspaper? | ||
| What's the number two? | ||
| What is number two? | ||
| The bar that doesn't card? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| The RA, man. | ||
| He's really trying to hold you down. | ||
| The RA's a bitch, man. | ||
| Oh, I can't smoke weed in my room now, huh? | ||
| You've never been cool? | ||
| Maybe it's the little bodega where you can use student charge to get snacks. | ||
| Stuff like that. | ||
| Maybe it's that. | ||
| Maybe that's brain control. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I certainly used a lot of it when I was in college. | ||
| I would go to the student bookstore because I had a card. | ||
| That's it! | ||
| The bookstore! | ||
| That's where people learn about new ideas. | ||
| Oh, that's brain control. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I would go there and I would... | ||
| Who puts the books in there? | ||
| Who watches the book watchman? | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| I would go there and I would get like snacks and all this junk food and I would charge my student charge card because I knew... | ||
| They would show up to my parents' account and it would say student bookstore. | ||
| And they would never question that. | ||
| Brain control. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| And the triggering thing and the home thing, safe space and all of that, it's a combination of I'm a victim, so I can just be victimized by anything. | ||
| It's a new world. | ||
| I've got a new role to play in the grand scheme. | ||
| Or, and, it's the effects of the psychiatric drugs, scrambling brain chemistry. | ||
| That make kids do and say the strangest things as they're developing brain damage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As they're developing brain damage. | |
| Not kidding around here, folks. | ||
| It's chemical warfare. | ||
| It is sustained. | ||
| Year by year, generation by generation now, with psychiatry holding a kind of virtual monopoly backed up by the federal government on mental health. | ||
| That's where we're at. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this has to be thrown over. | |
| Thrown over. | ||
| Thanks, John Rappaport here. | ||
| See you next time. | ||
| I think he lost it when he was like, this needs to be thrown over. | ||
| He just couldn't find the right words. | ||
| That's not aggressive enough. | ||
| He ran out of gas. | ||
| So, that's the special report, and boy... | ||
| Shucks howdy. | ||
| We didn't spend any time really addressing how racist, homophobic, sexist... | ||
| Transphobic. | ||
| All of it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, yeah. | |
| Basically, his entire argument is anytime people do things that he doesn't think are appropriate behavior, and that includes literally everyone but him and other old white men. | ||
| Other groups standing up against people oppressing them. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| Degrading them. | ||
| Halloween costumes is just short for... | ||
| Literally. | ||
| Oh, wait a second. | ||
| These kids don't want to use the bathroom gender that they were born with? | ||
| Guess what that is? | ||
| Psychiatrists and drugs. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Oh, these kids think homosexuality is okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Drugs. | ||
| Oh, these kids are black? | ||
| Do you know where black people came from? | ||
| Drugs. | ||
| Drugs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Melanin pills. | |
| Yeah, he's a monster. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| But the other thing that, just on a, because that's, you know, people of differing opinions will have differing opinions. | ||
| And someone who hears this and thinks, you know, like, hey, all this triggering stuff is a bunch of pussies and what have you. | ||
| Let's even take a step back. | ||
| He didn't make any arguments. | ||
| No, he did not. | ||
| He didn't have any bombshell. | ||
| That was an hour of him... | ||
| On the air. | ||
| Meandering. | ||
| He had every opportunity to cite actual sources. | ||
| He didn't. | ||
| We looked into the sources that he did cite. | ||
| And they were wrong. | ||
| They didn't say what he was saying. | ||
| No. | ||
| And the underpinning of his argument is 25% of the population at campuses has a diagnosis, which doesn't mean anything and probably isn't true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And if it's not literally true, it's not accurate because a lot of people go to doctors just to get Adderall. | ||
| At the... | ||
| At the very least, it is a gross mischaracterization of what the problem actually is. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| At the very least. | ||
| Now, if you add in all the things we know about him, it is most likely a huge shitshow of entitled white male bullshit. | ||
| And bigotry. | ||
| And bigotry. | ||
| And then the other step we have to take... | ||
| And I know that because I'm an entitled white male. | ||
| We can smell it. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
| We can sense our own. | ||
| Because their skin's white. | ||
| But then the other piece of it is the advice he's giving or the assessment that he's giving is literally dangerous. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You and I are both people who have struggled with mental illness throughout our lives. | ||
| And I don't want to end this on a sad note. | ||
| I think it's a hopeful note to say that, quite literally... | ||
| I would be dead if I had not gone to see a psychiatrist. | ||
| That's exactly what I was going to say. | ||
| That's not a down note. | ||
| That's fucking amazing. | ||
| The sad note that I was going to say is that I have had friends who have killed themselves. | ||
| Yes, we have. | ||
| And a lot of it had to do with them not seeking help the way they needed to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And that's real. | ||
| It is absolutely real. | ||
| When you impugn psychiatry as a whole, what you're doing is a disservice to people who need help. | ||
| When you look at it realistically and say, hey, you know what? | ||
| There is overdiagnosis. | ||
| There's an overprescription. | ||
| That's a realistic discussion to have. | ||
| When you see a system that has flaws and you point those out and you search to correct those, that is good. | ||
| When you say a system has flaws, so that means every single part of that is wrong, you get the... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's why I wanted to cover this. | ||
| It seemed a little bit outside of what we normally do, but it's just like, you're such a fucking asshole. | ||
| And this is what Alex Jones chooses to put on his show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it is still him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not like... | ||
| It wasn't literally him saying these things. | ||
| No. | ||
| But Alex is... | ||
| He was tacitly endorsing these things. | ||
| And for two days he was talking about how this is some of the most powerful, important information. | ||
| God. | ||
| And it's not information. | ||
| It's nothing. | ||
| We... | ||
| Like... | ||
| One thing that I do like about this that I do... | ||
| Like... | ||
| I find this to be a fun thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But occasionally there is something where it's like... | ||
| Oh, I think we are fighting this fucking horrifying monster. | ||
| Like, Alex Jones is a wackadoo crazy cat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That guy is fucking evil in a way that is far less fun. | ||
| But thankfully, it doesn't matter because no one listens to him. | ||
| No one listens to him. | ||
| Like fucking David goddamn Knight. | ||
| The only platform that... | ||
| Fucking John Rappaport has is his Angel Fire page, GeoCities bullshit, and then also the fourth hour of Alex Jones sometimes. | ||
| And I assume a lot of people turn it off for the fourth hour. | ||
| I would hope so. | ||
| But if they don't, I mean, like, this is the kind of bullshit that is being spouted. | ||
| That is irresponsible and very dangerous. | ||
| It's literally dangerous. | ||
| It's not irresponsible. | ||
| It's an active attack. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| But the attack is irresponsible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's irresponsible for anyone to broadcast that, and I apologize that we just did. | ||
| But we did with commentary, so I think it's okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look, anytime somebody broadcasts Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie... | ||
| Irresponsible. | ||
| Irresponsible. | ||
| As long as we're making fun of it, though. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Pretty great. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| So, guys, the bottom line is if you need help, go talk to somebody. | ||
|

|
Please do. | |
| If you don't feel the diagnosis is accurate, talk to the doctor about that. | ||
| You can have a conversation about it. | ||
| No one is going to force you down some weird rabbit hole. | ||
| If you don't want to take a pill, don't take it. | ||
| I mean, that's the truth. | ||
| You have your own agency. | ||
| You are a person. | ||
| And with the proliferation of the internet being what it is, there's tons of information you can find out about any pill that someone wants to diagnose or prescribe for you, and you can. | ||
| You can look it up and decide for yourself if it's a path you want to go down. | ||
| And it's also, you shouldn't diagnose yourself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You can go into a conversation with somebody thinking that you have a basic understanding of what's going on with you, but it should be a conversation, not a dominant thing from one side or the other. | ||
| Nope. | ||
|

|
Find a psychiatrist who wants to work with you and not tell you what to do, and also don't tell the psychiatrist what to do. | |
| That's the bottom line. | ||
| If you're uncomfortable with your psychiatrist, find another one. | ||
| I've bailed on a couple. | ||
| Many. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Many in my life. | ||
| So anyway, but there's at least four. | ||
| And one of them is named Dr. Pies. | ||
| Maybe give him a call. | ||
| He seems like a cool dude. | ||
| He seems like a cool dude. | ||
| But anyway. | ||
| Knows his shit. | ||
| He's the emeritus editor of blank. | ||
| Yeah, something. | ||
| Yada, yada, yada. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But the most important thing is if you are feeling bad, there is help that can be found. | ||
| And please look into it. | ||
| And talk to somebody. | ||
| We love you. | ||
| Yeah, we love you. | ||
| The world needs you. | ||
| Thanks for listening, Jordan. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| This has been so much fun. | ||
| Fuck the shit out of John Rappaport, universe. | ||
| That's not a literal thing that we're asking you to do. | ||
| I hate it. | ||
| He does not look like he would enjoy it, and we don't endorse that. | ||
| I hated that that started to come out of my mouth, but you noticed. | ||
| You were trying to wrap up the episode, and then you went into, hey, everybody. | ||
| Have physical sex with John Rappaport. | ||
| And that's our sign-off, guys. | ||
| I think you could see it in my face that I was like, oh no, why did I start saying that? | ||
| Oh, Jesus. | ||
| Anyway, until next time. | ||
| Oh, wait. | ||
