Time Text
Maybe that'll help.
Let me ask you this.
If one of your son, your daughter, if your wife right now is being held hostage by anybody, would you ever stop if you knew they were back here?
No, you'd never stop until you knew they were back, right?
Would you ever stop?
Is there anything that could possibly stop you?
No.
Yeah, my answer is no.
Everybody's answer should be no.
It doesn't mean that that's, it doesn't mean that that is how you determine international policy.
Yes.
Hopefully I'm not the one determining international policy if that's happening because I wouldn't be thinking straight, nor should I be thinking straight, right?
I would be the most bloodthirsty animal that this earth has ever seen if I had to to save my family.
And I think almost everybody has a set of testicles as in a cheerleader for the Minnesota Vikings would probably say the same.
I wanted to clarify because they probably have testicles too.
I don't think they probably committed to the bottom surgery.
I don't think they're trans.
I think they're just really good.
So that's most people are very uneducated on this issue.
You can go back a lot of different ways and you can try to solve this thing.
But one of the areas that I wanted to dive into, and trust me, I want to do that more because I think if people have baseline understanding of this, it helps you understand.
Listen, both sides of this equation.
Put yourself in the Arabs' position back in World War I being promised.
If you have an uprising against the Ottoman Empire by the British, if you have an uprising, we will help you secure an Arab state, the first for them, right?
That's fantastic.
The British also promised that to the Zionists.
The British also promised that to the French.
They were just trying to survive, right?
But if you don't know that, you're like, well, these guys, whatever.
They didn't have anything.
No, they had an uprising against the Ottoman Empire to help the British out in the war so that the Ottomans couldn't focus on Europe as well.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
All of this makes much more sense with just a little bit of history.
We'll maybe deep dive into that some other time.
But she did talk about something that I'm very confused about that I think you're probably going to be a little confused about too, with Christian Zionism.
As far as I understand it, they believe in the idea of the rapture.
They believe that, you know, it's sort of this cruel bargain they have going with Israel.
Why?
Because basically what they say, that they're going to be swooped up into heaven.
Okay.
Right.
And there's going to be a thousand year kingdom.
And then there'll be the end of the world and the judgment by Christ and he'll come back.
This is a false, it was, it was condemned as a heresy in 381 because basically there is no thousand year millennium to come.
Okay.
Why is that a cruel bargain with Israel?
Let's say that you're right.
Let's say that none of that's going to happen.
And the Christians that believe that they're erroneous in their belief.
Why is that a cruel bargain with Israel?
They're in this cruel bargain with Israel and they're held captive by this belief in what way?
I don't understand the Christian Zionism thing that people have postulated that Christians believe that you have to help Israel and rebuild the temple to usher in the coming second coming of Christ.
Right.
I grew up in churches and so did you that were very heavily influenced by dispensationalism, very heavily influenced with the kind of theology that would believe in a literal thousand year kingdom, that would believe in the potential for the rapture of the harpatzo.
I believe it's in Thessalonians that talks about that.
There's all kinds of hints throughout scripture, not just in the New Testament, about that kind of a thing.
That's fine.
You can debate that.
I'm okay with that.
But I don't think any of us that have grown up in those churches have ever heard, wait, we have to build the temple so that Christ can return.
Yeah.
I don't.
I don't remember that.
I don't see any of that.
And I think for her to have that belief that there's some kind of thing within Christianity that believes that is false.
So, but let me get to the baseline Zionism.
This goes back to the point of Ted Cruz, basically saying that if you bless Israel, you'll be blessed, right?
I'm going to bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.
That promise was made before Israel was even a thing.
It was made to a person about a people.
The blessing is very clearly defined later on in scripture and who the church really is and who Israel really is, the true Israel is defined in Galatians 3.
The blessing is Christ.
It's laid out.
It's almost like I don't have to go and wonder about this.
It's a pretty good blessing.
I'm going to bless all nations through you.
Okay.
Yeah, it's about a specific time.
It was a limited time offer.
Well, it was pointing to a future.
It was pointing.
I'm going to bless the entire earth because of your lineage, and that's fine.
And if you want to say that Christians are supposed to still support Israel In some capacity, I feel like that's also fine.
I can also make a case for God not being done with Israel, you know, because of the entire book of Revelation past, I don't know, like chapter two and a half, roughly, right?
Every single thing God has not done with Israel, he is until the fullness of the Gentiles come in, and then they will have an opportunity to recognize their offense and repent.
That doesn't mean that they're saved right now.
It also doesn't mean they're a special case right now that I have to support every single thing that the Israeli government does.
And I will say this: I will grant that there has been a very pro-Israel form of messaging in the evangelical church.
And some of that is, yeah, absolutely, can be attributed to undue influence from Israeli lobbyists.
We knew a church where that was the case where they're like, we want to be in Christian film production, and they were pro-abortion.
I was like, wait, what?
Yeah.
Why are they like, well, they got, so that does, that does happen where it has, unfortunately, gotten a lot of people in the evangelical Christian church to follow lockstep with some premises that aren't necessarily true that she's kind of outlining but misrepresenting there where Christians, many Christians feel as though a veil has been lifted.
We're like, well, yeah, I guess I just thought I was supposed to support Israel blindly because this theology has not been taught appropriately.
Not at all.
So it opened that anytime, and this is why truth matters.
Anytime you do that or you deliver a half-truth, you open the door, that little half that's not true.
You open the door to someone who can present full lies because it's just as believable.
That's the danger of a half-truth.
And the evangelical church, and I say this as a Christian, has certainly been guilty of that.
I get why people are critical.
And I get why, when combined with the idea of America first, people go, okay, someone's leading us by the nose.
I understand it, and I actually agree with it.
Hamas is also bad.
Yes.
But what if the church had done a good job on teaching on this?
What if the church had tied Galatians 3 and the synagogue of Satan stuff that people want to go to right now in the book of Revelation and say, see, they're synagogue of Satan?
I'm like, well, they're not believers.
They don't believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
They rejected him.
Yes, they're not saved.
Okay, got it.
I'm not shocked by this that people don't believe in Jesus Christ aren't saved.
What does that mean?
If the church had given you a good kind of starting point with this and understood that you're not going to make everybody happy, but certainly not the Jews.
Well, no, it wouldn't have made them mad either.
Oh, Lord, you're not done with me.
I'm not done with you.
No, I mean, it just, would we have the kind of movements that we have today?
Would we have the kind of people going, see, the Christianity?
I haven't had a movement in two weeks.
The church has been lying to you.
Now we can't even try.
Look, those pesky evangelicals, listen, they cook up their own theology.
A, it's not even true, but B, they just did a bad job of teaching on this subject.
And so I do think that there is some kind of beef that you can have with the evangelical church.
But overall, you have to understand they're not so wrong that you can hate the Jews and be right.
Oh, so that's a big point because right now that's really what people veer into.
And I'm not saying everybody is.
Not everybody's anti-Semitic.
I feel like I can criticize Israel.
I've been called anti-Semitic one day.
The very next day, I've been called a Nazi.
I've been called an Israeli shill.
Two things come the day after that.
It just depends on what I say.
And I'm like, listen, can we just understand that there's a middle ground to a lot of, I'm not saying find a middle ground because every issue has a middle.
No, I'm saying in this specific issue, people run to the extremes every single time.
Just have a conversation.
And I don't think there's anyone more extreme than a Hamas apologist who says that there are no more Christians in Israel or it's been cut down, whatever she said, whatever.
Did he say cut in half?
He said decreasing rapidly.
It's the opposite.
And it's been increasing Palestine.
There is no more extreme and more dishonest when people talk about bad actors.
They're talking about someone like this.
Yeah.
So, no, I get it.
Well, I genuinely want somebody to tell me, too, like, where's this thinking coming from that Christians believe?
By the way, couldn't we just as easily apply, people say synagogue of Satan, couldn't you apply that to Islam?
Yes.
That's one thing, too.
If you say like synagogue of Satan, I don't know.
I mean, and by the way, I think, and we have Jewish people, some Jewish people who work here.
Sorry, Sam.
I think that rejection of Christ, I think that's for as a Christian, and this is no surprise, that's a mortal sin, meaning the day of judgment, that's as bad as for me as a Christian.
And I'm not saying all paths lead to, I don't believe that.
That being said, if you're going to say synagogue of Satan, what does Satan do when we actually go back to Satan?
We actually go back to who Satan is in this fallen angel.
Okay.
Satan subverts, right, what it is that God has created, what God has put in motion, right?
We don't call evil good, good, Evil.
Do you think that?
Okay, let's compare rejection that you see from Jews who don't believe that he's Messiah.
They're waiting for the Messiah.
We're waiting for the Messiah to come back, right?
We're waiting for the sequel.
They're waiting for the first installment.
Okay, let's contrast that with Islam, where the founder believed that he was fighting with a demon, by the way, until he said, no, no, no, it's an angel who said, by the way, everything that Jesus Christ claimed.
So talk about subverting, not just denial.
Satan doesn't just deny.
Satan goes, wouldn't just think of how Satan tried to tempt Christ.
Wouldn't God want you?
Wouldn't your dad think that you should?
Well, sure, but if God wants this, wouldn't he want?
So let's compare that to, yeah, yeah, yeah, Jesus was great and a moral prophet and a great teacher.
But wouldn't he want you to know that he wasn't actually crucified and died?
And it's basically a cover-up and Muhammad's the one?
Like, this is actually the final word.
Sure, sure, sure.
What Jesus said, yeah, a lot of it was right.
But don't you think he'd want you to wage a jihad?
Sure, sure, sure.
He talked about loving your wife and treating women as, you know, Christ treated the church.
But don't you think God would want you to be able to subjugate them and beat them?
Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
But don't you think God would, to me, that would be much more in line with the faith and the character of Satan, of Lucifer, as presented in the Bible and has been studied by people who do this professionally for centuries.
Yeah.
If you're going to throw it out, they're not even saying that Islam is the synagogue of Satan.
I'm just saying if we throw it out, I don't know why all of a sudden we've given them a pass.
But anyway, I think if there's anything, but I think we probably want to open this up to chat.
Yeah, no, I'd love to hear what chat thinks about this.
I'm sure they're lighting it up, but let's just make it clear.
To put it in Old Testament terms, they rejected Messiah.
Jews rejected Messiah.
If they name another one, that is a false Messiah.
That is Antichrist.
You have to understand that that is the point.
That is the fork in the road.
They didn't reject Jesus in the New Testament.
They rejected the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament.
Right.
So that's where things got awry.
They didn't just miss.
Right.
They rejected.
So I understand why people say that.
But at the same time, it's just like me coming and preaching the gospel to somebody else.
And I say Jesus is the Messiah, the one who can repair the relationship between you and God.
And they reject the Messiah as well.
Either way, separated from God.
It doesn't matter that you are Jewish or Islamic or atheist.
It doesn't matter.
Yep.
So does Islam.
So does Buddha.
Yep.
So does Hindus, Vishnu, whatever the one they're calling it.
They all do.
Lots of arms doing the thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think the most pervasive is Islam.
Yeah.
Because it takes it and says, yeah, yeah, yeah, all the verts.
Except we're going to change it so you actually do the, you actually believe the opposite.
That's just, but again, that's just my opinion.
I'm not going to die on that hill.
Let's grab some a chat.
All right.
First chat from Alex Toulouse for Gerald.
It's pronounced Tulaus.
Tulauzi.
For Gerald, what do you think about the idea that the most likely place an Antichrist could come from is Israel and Judaism to deceive a large number of Christians, evangelical dispensations?
I don't know.
I don't think there's any, I don't really think that that is as plausible as somebody else coming from outside, because if you look at kind of the characteristics, he's going to be called an Assyrian.
Like there are a lot of different descriptors of Antichrist and what he's able to do doesn't seem like the kind of things that somebody who's Jewish would be able to do, meaning unite the world.
So I think it's just kind of a polarizing figure.
If only it requires someone incredibly charismatic, which means handsome.
Handsome, charismatic, unites the world, gets a seven-year peace treaty with Israel and the rest of the world to kind of calm down.
I don't think Israeli is going to be the title of that.
That's a charming silver-tongued devil, Leibowitz.
I just don't think, I don't think that's the case.
But I know there's argument about where people think Antichrist is going to come from, but yeah, I don't think so.
Since we're doing that, I'm just going to tell you, he's going to come from Hartford, Connecticut next June.
Oh, wow.
Oh, okay.
Well, hitting close to home.
I can't prove it.
Hey, I was there in July.
You might be onto something.
Yeah.
Yes.
We saw a few candidates.
Yeah, I think we all did.
Yes.
Go ahead.
Chris Hodge 76 asks, how does scripture's description of the overcomers challenge the pre-tribulation rapture view?
And what does this reveal about how we should interpret end time prophecy?
So it doesn't necessarily mean that there can't be a pre-trib view, right?
So just so people understand, pre-trib view means that when this all kind of kicks off, that there is a time period of the tribulation That's seven years, but it's really three and a half years that's bad.
The first three and a half years is peace like the world has never known since humans have been on it other than when God was here with them in the garden, right?
So people can say, well, it's before the beginning of the seven years or it's at the three and a half year period because really the last three and a half year period is designed specifically, and look at the language in Revelation for the Jews.
This is their final chance.
This is 12,000 from each of the tribes of Israel, the 144,000 to go out and spread the word.
So there will be converts during that time.
So you can say, yeah, Christians taken from the earth.
The message of Christ is not taken from the earth because people have heard it, maybe rejected it, knew it, didn't fully get it, didn't really accept Jesus in their heart, knew him in the head, all those kinds of things.
So there still will be people here that are believers right after that, like immediately.
I believe.
I see it.
Now everything makes sense.
They will go out and start converting people.
The overcomers could theoretically be talking about that group of people, people who convert to Christianity during that part of the tribulation.
So if they overcome, granted.
So I don't know.
I'd have to look into it a little more to see specifically what you're referencing, but that seems to make a lot of sense if you want to give it some room.
Aha!
So we heard ourselves Dylan Morgan is answering that you do not know.
I don't have it.
Good answer, I think.
But also left some room.
It's okay.
If there's another specific context of the Overcomer, then fine.
I wish I had one of those clappers.
So I could go, hit up the body.
Ole.
Next.
So gay.
All right.
Next chat from Jace Schuster.
Question for Crowder.
With the UFC inking a deal with Paramount Plus, do you think this is a good thing for the fight game and its fighters and the fans alike?
Oh, man.
I know this is going to bore people who don't care about the UFC, but I will say, I don't know.
Here's the thing with the UFC.
It used to be an event, and this is kind of the difference between sort of hardcore fans versus running a business.
It used to be an event where you had a pay-per-view, you know, every like six weeks.
I mean, early on, it'd be like once a quarter and then every six weeks, then maybe every month.
And then it got to the point where you'd have like a pay-per-view, but you'd also have a free fight night or the undercards.
And it was a lot of fun where you could, then it just, you know, it's become a volume model where they're trying to branch out into other markets.
And so they're making more revenue, but they have significantly fewer stars.
Now, I don't know how this is going to work because when they signed with William Morris or William Morris Endeavor or WMA, WME, they inked the deal with ESPN.
And so that was streamed live on, you know, you get ESPN Disney is where it streams and also Hulu.
It seems to me that that may be a bigger platform than Paramount Plus.
But as I understand it, they're doing away with pay-per-view models altogether.
So they'll probably have more viewership on the main card, like pay-per-view fights.
So I don't know.
What I would like to see is it maybe them sort of consolidated a little more.
Maybe it'd be a little less diluted because it is harder for me to follow.
And I also just don't have as much time.
But I also understand the point of view that, hey, more mixed martial arts is better.
Yeah.
It's going to be like a mainstream sport on CBS.
I mean, they're going to have at least the undercards on CBS, maybe not the title fights or the main kind of thing.
Well, they had that at one point.
Was it Strike Force or Elite XC where they had that?
Those were different.
Yeah, but they were either on ABC or NBC or CBS for a few fights.
That was one where James Thompson got his like his, did his ear get like punched in half or something?
Kimbo slice.
Oh, somebody punched a guy's ear in half.
I feel like, yeah, he got his ear punched.
Maybe it was Don Fry, but he got like his ear split.
And people are like, this is not good to be one of the first fights on broadcast television.
Oh, it's just like all red over there.
Yeah, it was pretty gross.
So, you know, more fights the better, but I do think it's a little bit harder to follow.
$7 billion, $7.7 billion.
What is it?
Four-year deal something?
I thought that was a seven-year deal.
Is it seven?
Oh, okay.
I don't remember the years.
That's a lot of money, man.
Yeah, because I just signed one recently, only a few years ago.
That was a big deal with WME.
And they should treat it like the, you know, convert the model to like what the four major sports do.
Yeah.
Every city has its own team.
Well, they used to have that.
Now you get the teams.
They got to fight in teams.
They do.
They had that.
Well, they didn't all fight at once, but the IFL was the International Fight League where there was like the Pat Mills, like Razorbacks.
Ken Shamrock had one.
A few different people had like teams.
So they each had one person in a way.
Yeah, but I'm saying you should, you know.
Just gang fight.
Yeah, just Royal Rumble.
Get in there.
Anything goes, dude.
Yeah.
Chains, zip guns.
What?
Are you bringing up the James Thompson?
So they said it's a seven-year deal.
Is the UFC the Antichrist?
It's a seven-year deal.
Oh, boy.
Oh, it's worth just $7.70.
$7.7 billion.
Who wins the tribulation belt?
Christ.
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, can you imagine?
That's probably blasphemous to depict as a sketch or something.
Well, I don't know.
The graphic on Jesus Christ from the Battle of Armageddon.
Just completely destroying everybody in the UFC.
I hope that is not true because I bet my whole house on the beast from the hee.
What is his favorite submission position?
The crucifix, of course.
Man in this corner, the king of kings.
Turn the other cheek when I punch your head.
Yeah, turn your other cheek.
Listen, dude, he came as the suffering servant.
Next time he's coming as the conquering king.
Don't underestimate.
Yeah, okay.
Tap out.
You know not what you're doing.
I tell you what, my father will have a seat next to you in hell.
What?
Give him the chair.
The guy tapping.
Wrestling into it.
The guy taps in the curtain.
Jumbotron just tears in half.
Every time, Jesus.
All right.
You forget about Jesus Christ.
I'm right here.
Hey, don't forget Jesus.
Tribulation overcome us.
I love you.
All right, next chat.
All right, next chat from Feisty Cadaver.
Why does DC have any residence other than the president?
No one should live there.
Well, I agree.
It's a horrible place.
I used to have to go there, and I'm glad I haven't been there in a long time.
I mean, I think it's fine that it has residents, but I get it.
You visit every now and then, and then you're like, all right, I'm good to get out.
Yeah.
Next chat.
All right.
From SJ What?
Question for Stephen.
We see Trump wanting to pull back on weed.
How do you think that affects the China racket?
Documentary plug?
Are you talking about him wanting to schedule it as a less dangerous substance?
That's one of those things that I just think people have been saying for a very long time, like do it for the political capital.
Because you have some people, that's their only issue voting.
I love weed.
They got the belt buckle, they got the t-shirt, they got the hat.
They got a smell.
Yeah.
Well, they don't have any weed because they don't have money left.
They spend it on all the paraffins.
They still somehow smell like it.
Yes.
I promise you.
You can smell them coming into the store or the restaurant you work at.
Well, that's because they buy Chanel Eau de Skunk.
That smells terrible.
Oh, it's that guy wearing the faded supersonics jersey.
You think he's high?
Yeah, probably.
Probably.
I do get why it makes sense.
I certainly don't think it should be classified in the same category as heroin or fentanyl.
We've been talking about that for a long time.
I do think that now we have lived with this a little bit where I've watched perspectives change where it's like, if you're just legal, it's just a plant, man.
You don't really hear that a whole lot anymore.
You really don't.
Why?
Why?
Yeah, you don't because a lot of people who had never experienced it before have experienced it and go like, oh, this is way more than just a plant.
They also did a lot of, I don't know, you know, I don't want any botanists in the chat to jump down my throat, but another word where they didn't, they changed how they pollinate and how these different strains are.
It's not incredibly potent.
Yeah.
And I don't, and look, I think there are legitimate, I've talked about this, legitimate medicinal uses.
Yeah.
Of course, I think it helps with cancer patients, especially going through things like chemo with their appetite.
It seems to help with PTSD, surprisingly, specifically as far as sleep disorders.
CBD, with very, you don't need a lot of THC, seems to help with systemic inflammatory markers.
There might be one or two other sort of, oh, obviously forms of epilepsy, like Drabbit syndrome, I believe is what it is.
And a lot of the others are unproven.
But now when people have been saying it cures everything, now people have kind of experienced it and go, okay, I guess it doesn't.
And we do have a culture of wake and bake where you smell it everywhere.
And I think that a lot of people don't like that for the same reason that many people didn't like cigarettes being smoked right next to in a restaurant.
So I do think that it should be declassified from, is it schedule, is it schedule three or schedule one?
I don't know.
I always forget which one is in the sending.
I don't know which one's higher.
Yeah.
I think one is the highest.
I think it was schedule one.
It was the highest schedule, which is ridiculous.
So yeah, it should be removed from that.
People should not be spending years in prison over some marijuana, of course.
But I also think that now maybe people are ready to approach it more responsibly.
In the way that we've approached, and they constantly compared it to alcohol.
Because it used to be, yeah, alcohol is legal.
Why not?
We've said, okay, but alcohol also has limits.
It also, I mean, it's strictly regulated.
We're able to test People if they're driving while drinking, right?
And there are laws against that.
And it's kind of been the Wild West.
And I will say this: I don't think it's a particularly productive drug for now.
That's not to say that it can't be used right because neither is Xanax and people use it.
You know what I mean?
I think there's an appropriate use for a lot of drugs out there if they're not abused.
And I think for someone who's a high-functioning executive to take something at a moderate dose, if it helps them sleep and relax, I don't really have a problem with that if I'm not looking to get blitzed.
I think it'll probably help Trump.
It'll remove a big issue from the left politically.
That's really legitimate.
If they're the Epstein people, then it's like, well, I don't have that, but we have weed.
Right.
Right.
But that's separate and apart from the Chinese issue.
Yes.
But it's not a cure-all, too, by the way.
You ever notice someone's like when they claim it's a cure-all?
Cure everything.
It can help you and everything.
Yeah.
Help me.
You're like, yeah.
You didn't help with that cough.
No, no.
I hurt.
I think I need some weed.
Okay.
By the way, I told you, I almost choked to death the other day.
And that was a terrifying experience.
It was the first time in my life that I've ever had.
My lady made a, I don't know, piste.
How do you pronounce it?
It's basically like their pasta.
No, it's a chicken fried steak, basically.
Oh, okay.
But it's like thinner breading and it's spice.
Anyway, I was chewing the steak.
I think I just didn't appreciate it, didn't respect the breading because the steak was so tender that as I was chewing the steak, I forgot and I and it must have lodged perfectly because, you know, I've choked like on popcorn somewhere.
Yeah, like no air could come in or out.
You know, I thought, like, because usually you can go, no air could go out and no air could come in.
How'd you get out of that?
My lady hit me really hard on the back multiple times.
Yeah.
Yeah, then she and then she stabbed him in the throat with a straw.
She did, yeah.
Yeah.
It was a tracheotomy.
Yeah.
And it turned me on, which is weird.
Well, that's not on normal.
Table or in the bedroom.
So I've seen many a triage that are owned up.
I don't know.
I'm hard.
No, but it was scary.
It was really scary.
I've never had that.
You guys ever experienced it?
Like, I couldn't get any momentum, any inertia.
You know, you need a little bit of wind to move.
That's why you do the technical maneuver, obviously, hitting on the back.
But there's something you've got to get.
And I'll tell you, we bought it for our house, obviously for kids, because kids, they screw around and they eat and they choke sometimes.
It's the little thing you put over their mouth and it pump and it pulls out.
I have that.
Okay, so that those things are.
I don't know if you have it near the table where you were choking.
No.
I have that too.
I use it for bulimia.
Yes.
Yeah.
It is very helpful.
I just use the popsicle sticks that they put in my mouth and make me go, ah, because I always feel like one of the stuff.
It's like, oh, this is easy.
I don't know why anyone would ever be fat.
I hate that they call them popsicle sticks, by the way.
It looks like a popsicle stick.
It's the same composition as popsicle.
Oh, the doctor.
But there's no popsicle that big.
No.
Unless they just have a nurse practitioner who's just in the next room going like, hold on, I'm almost there.
Puts in the blue barber liquid.
Barbicide.
That's it.
I am infant certified in CPRs, but I can't do that on myself on the weed thing.
So yeah, I think that's the right approach.
And I think separate from that, we need to address, really, it's more of a land issue with the Chinese and a banking issue with the Chinese, right?
They won't allow weed in their country at all, but they'll take advantage of it here, even in states where weed is legal.
I get it.
It's a federal issue, but the point is that's a separate issue outside of descheduling, I guess, under that classification of weed and making sure that China should be involved.
Zero.
Yeah.
Zero.
If only because they can't be trusted with that.
And it's our land.
Next.
Just take it back.
They did also send in that Kimbo slice clip, if you want it.
Was it Kimbo Slus slice punching James Thompson and splitting his ear?
Yeah.
And was this on CBS or was it on NBC?
It was on.
It doesn't say in the thumbnail.
It just says UFC fight pass.
Also, are there any chats that weren't happy with how we covered it?
Yeah, yeah.
We covered some of those.
So let's.
This was on, like, this was early on where there had never been a mixed martial arts event in broadcast television.
And you almost never see injuries like this.
It was just kind of the guy I think had cauliflower ear, and it was just red.
He was hanging by a thread.
I see a CBS mic flag.
Oh, CBS.
So is CBS.
All right.
Let's go.
Experience.
Bring you to the championship.
Gentlemen, how do you have this fight?
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
I would say that Thompson angular.
You fucking fucking new blood.
I think that's the one.
And then there's a close-up later, I think, that shows it.
Oh, that ear popped.
Yeah.
Good lord.
Oh, man.
Swing it for the felons.
He needs some milk.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, he's pissed.
What are you doing?
I don't think he's pissed.
I think he's discombobulated.
Didn't realize that's the ref.
Yeah.
Maybe, maybe.
That's true.
He was James Thompson, the Colossus, they called him.
He was just a big, strong guy who in Japan was like, you go fight a professional fighter.
Okay.
And he got his ass kicked.
He ran into Fedora's brother, who then did a hard time in Russian prison.
And that's one of the funnest staredowns that you ever see.
He's literally shaking.
He's like, mean-mongers, little Russian with whole body tattoos.
Whatever.
And then just, it's like a flip, like you can't even see the punches.
They register so fast from a guy six foot six, and he gets his ass kicked.
And he seems like a decent guy, but the point is, it doesn't really matter how tough.
You're bobbed.
Just staring him down.
Yeah.
At certain points, either you're going to fight.
Yeah.
So just get on with it.
The charades don't matter.
All right.
Next chat.
All right.
Next chat.
From Stephen Legacy411.
Why do Islamists like goats so much?
Hey, hey, that is a rumor.
Also, rumors start for reasons.
Hold on, first-hand experience.
If you'll allow me.
Yeah.
Thank you, Josh.
Have you ever stared at their butts?
Ask yourself that.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait.
Mr. High and Mighty.
I can tell you I too am guilty of this.
It's the way they scream, honestly.
Yes.
They like it.
Don't turn and talk to me right now.
I'm going to get more turned on them than I choke.
Good thing you have a desk there.
Good look.
Yes, advice.
You're going to see the levitation trick.
It is a thing, though.
I mean, if you've ever seen a video, if you ever seen a video of them, there's a few out there.
There's like an ISR footage one where the guy's cotton thermal doing it, but they are the perfect height.
They just stare there.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
I mean, I guess.
There's something about the wool on your pubes that just gets a guy going.
I think it's just you work with what you have.
I mean, it used to be the same thing of Irish farmers.
They used to make those accusations.
They do have hands.
It's that they have udders.
It's all.
No, no, Josh.
I'm saying there are other single-player options.
I think you're saying the Islamists have hands, not the goats.
Yes, I'm like, listen.
Listen, I get it.
If you're out in the field and you're an Islamist, whatever, and you've got goats or a hand, but there's no women, why choose goats?
It's a fair question.
Well, it's something about the Quran and periods.
What?
Something like that.
Yeah, when you're something like it's something that's, I forget what verse it is, but it's like, if your lady is bleeding, grab that sheep.
That's right.
Okay.
And by the way, that's for the record.
I did not even grab the sheep.
That sheep.
That is nothing but life.
We had two drinks.
I went back to my apartment.
It was a rough translation, but.
That's right.
Yeah.
I don't know the hadith, but whatever.
We'll find it.
That's right.
You don't know nothing.
The thing is, it's not that prevalent.
No.
But it's prevalent enough that it's an accurate stereotype.
Yeah.
Well, it's not ill-founded.
Yes.
It's like how often do you really.
Okay, that's a bad one.
Don't.
That was a bad one.
I don't think there's any good one, but let's just...
How many Asian mathematicians do you actually know?
A lot.
You personally?
Tons.
How many mathematicians do you know?
They're actual mathematicians.
They moonlight.
Johnny Knoxville.
Not that one.
Oh, there's another one?
Yeah.
There's a guy I knew in college.
Oh, man.
How much would that suck?
Be like a mathematician, a genius, and then name him.
Hi.
None of this.
Hi, I am a Menzah.
Welcome to Jackass.
I calculate speed velocity of shopping car.
Oh, shit.
Hey, hey, I do equations at Harvard.
Watch me put firework up my ass.
Times are tough.
How many alcoholic Native Americans do you know?
Many.
Almost all.
Okay, you know what?
Not alcoholics.
Here's the thing.
Not all alcoholics, it's that they can't handle alcohol.
And that actually is a genetic thing.
Same thing with Asia.
Asian rosacea.
Yeah.
They lack an enzyme to process alcohol, so it gets them drunk.
I have the exact opposite because of a lot of...
A lot of northern European blood, like Irish, Scottish, French, they metabolize alcohol at a rapid rate.
Asians will get that rosacea.
They get the flushing.
It's a genetic thing.
And of course, the Landbridge theory, Native Americans, the thing is that Native Americans really like it.
So that's where it becomes a problem.
If I could get Drug Fast, I would really like it too.
It'd be fun.
Yeah, well, but I'd like to enjoy the taste of wine.
That is big.
That's true.
Let's go to chat.
All right.
Next chat from the Princess Bride.
Cheryl drinks grape juice.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, he can tell you what vintage this is of welches.
Let's go.
Question for Stephen.
How did the sip get started?
I love it, though, so don't get rid of it.
I don't even know.
I think it just happened.
I think it just happened, and now I'm tired of it.
It's a good morning mug club thing, I think.
Was it?
I think so.
I think it might have when we did the Tua Days.
Yeah, I don't know if I did it before that.
You might have, though.
I don't remember.
Honestly, I don't remember.
You know what, Chat?
You help us.
I remember when I remember when someone said, hey, you didn't take the sip or something.
It became a thing, but that's when it became a thing.
But I guess I'd been doing it long enough before that.
You've been doing it a while before that happened.
Didn't you know you're doing it?
Yeah, I didn't even know.
It's probably just because I try and moisten the palate before I go live.
So I don't know.
Your guess is as good as mine, but I'm glad that you enjoy it because I am here for your enjoyment.
Amusement.
Yeah.
It seems like I'm actually doing it.
We put that sound in.
Billy hits that button.
Yeah.
That's right.
No, it's genuine.
Why would you do that?
He's not a lip-syncing singer kind of guy.
I am no athlete in Finn.
Next chat.
Our next chat from Howlett 5.
What disagreements do you have with the Tucker segment analysis?
What?
What?
I mean, did you watch the show, Juke Pussy Boy?
Do you mean our analysis?
Or is he asking someone else in chat what disagreement they have?
It must be for somebody else.
My assumption is they mean between you guys.
Like, do you have any disagreements?
I don't know.
I'm sure if we got into the facts that are spouted, if we did like a whole fact-checking of her claims, we would probably have disagreements.
But as far as I don't know, yeah, I think what these noodles are saying is that our disagreements between what we think at the end our analysis.
I mean, I'll just state what mine is: is just be honest about it and be at least attempt to be consistent in your application of the interviewing and research process.
That's it.
For me personally, I'm not an expert in the field, and I don't want to pretend to be.
I'm not really too keen on journalism stuff, but neither she.
Yeah, well, I agree with a lot of things you said.
Well, you know, here's the little thing you do know because I'm kind of the only person who has to hear, generally speaking, who has to sit down, okay, and write bits and write sketches and do that.
And then also go and go to the research department and go like, okay, all right, let's make sure this is correct.
And I do think that you do know that people like me and Lane and George, that we would all be beside ourselves if we made a claim like, oh, the Christian population is decreasing in Israel and found out the exact opposite is true.
Yeah.
Like we'd be really upset about it.
Like, how did we make such a silly mistake?
Yeah.
And they made at least 10 of those.
You routinely send us messages.
Hey, I just read this.
Is this true?
Can you guys find what they're quoting?
Can you find the study that they're saying showed this?
Like, it's not just a take it at face value kind of thing because there's a lot of stuff out there that you could just go, oh, yeah, and run with it and make a lot of mistakes doing so.
So that's why I'm like, Tucker, what were you reading that said that the Christian population was declining in Israel?
I think he might have been talking, trying to make the case.
I'm trying to be as generous as possible.
Specifically, maybe in the West Bank, because of the control going on and like, I don't know, but it's just not a claim that can be made as far as Israel versus Palestine.
It's the exact reverse of reality.
He didn't say that.
So I think my biggest takeaway from this interview was, and I've watched, I tend to watch almost every Tucker interview.
There's several people that I watch all their interviews.
I don't always like them, but I'm trying to...
Sometimes I like the style of interview and the conversational aspect of it.
But I try to listen to a lot of other things so that I understand where people are coming from, even if I disagree with their position.
And this is just a pattern that I'm seeing right now.
This is not a one-off where he will press.
He will exercise those journalistic integrity standards When it's an issue that he feels passionately about and it's on the right side of it, meaning going after Ted Cruz, going after Israel and making the case that he was making.
Fine.
And being anti-war with Iran.
That's also fine.
I disagreed with how he thought we should approach it, but fine.
But then when the opportunity comes up to represent the other side well, that's where it didn't take it.
And that's so many times.
That's what I get frustrated by.
I don't want, I mean, what good is it to have somebody come on and cheerlead for a cause with zero pushback at all, even for clarification, not necessarily even just pushback.
Like it just, it doesn't serve really for me any purpose at all.
It's like, yeah, I can see this person say whatever they want to say.
I need facts.
I don't know that I'm getting those from Ted Cruz.
He's a sinner.
I don't care.
It's a president.
I don't care.
Right.
It's a Hamas leader.
I don't care.
I want to know: is what that person's saying true or is it not?
And the journalists can help me get to that truth, or they can over and over and over again show they're not really interested in that in this case.
Right.
That's fair.
All right.
Final chat for the day.
It was kind of like a chat Thursday when it wasn't a chat Thursday, but I figured the lines would light up if we had lines.
Yeah.
All right.
Final chat from Broljack.
What do you say to a Christian who believes that Christianity has no place in government?
Sort of.
I mean, just kidding, it actually doesn't.
This is one that people complicate, and it doesn't need to be complicated.
It's really simple.
People are like, ah, the First Amendment.
Oh, sure, sure, sure.
There is never to be a state-enforced denomination or religion.
We all agree with that.
But there should be no Christianity.
And go, hold on a second.
Do you mean that people who are Christians shouldn't be allowed to serve in government?
Then who should serve?
Do you mean that Christian values shouldn't be allowed to be implemented?
Because that's the foundation of Western civilization to begin with.
And by the way, you still would find an intersect of, you know, don't steal, don't kill, you know, marriage laws once upon a time.
So do you say, well, hold on a second.
If that sounds like it's getting too close to Christianity, do you want to bar representatives from expressing their personal viewpoints?
In which case, it would only apply to Christianity.
I think what you have to look at is, okay, obviously this was a nate, first off, there's no enforcement of religion.
There will be no Church of England here.
That's very, very, very, very clear.
We understand that.
And by the way, you have the same thing with Catholicism in certain countries, even the province of Quebec, for example, where they also were a part of the political enforcement, you could argue in Quebec.
So we all agree on that.
No enforcement of a state-mandated religion.
Got it.
I don't know how that extends to if you've read the founding documents and you've read the auxiliary documents that support it as far as Christian values and who's allowed, in which case I think you have to look at, okay, at what point do we think that this worldview bars someone from serving in U.S. government?
Well, that would be if they adhere to a worldview that is antithetical to our constitutional republic.
In no way would that be Christianity.
As a matter of fact, you would have to look at it and go like, well, this almost kind of gives you, if they believe what they say, it means they're an adherent to the system and rules of law that we have here.
Something like an Islam would not.
So you could say, well, that might preclude you because you believe in establishing a caliphate and you believe in a second-class citizenship for people who are not Muslim and you believe in a poll tax and subjugating people to dimitude, right?
So you can look at that just like you could look at any, if it was a religion, if fascism was a religion.
You go, well, that's not something that can be reconciled with our constitutional republic.
There's no world in which you can say that about Christianity.
I don't know why this issue becomes really complicated to people.
And I think it comes from lazy arguing back in like the 90s, where it was also a response to sort of the lazy position that was held, like, this is a Christian nation.
And that was just too broad.
People going like, well, no, it's not.
It's a nation for all people.
And both of those are true.
Of course, it's a nation for all people, but this is a nation founded on Christian values.
And so people felt like they could, you know, sort of have a backboard to have a foil and go, well, really, actually, this is not supposed to be a Christian nation.
It's a secular nation because, and it stems from lazy arguing.
It gets to be really pretty simple if you read the founding documents and then you read what Thomas Jefferson wrote and George Washington and even Benjamin Franklin, all these, and Adams, and you read, for example, his private letter to the Danbury Baptists.
Same thing that applies to the Second Amendment.
When they go, well, that was only when there were muskets.
Bullshit.
You can look at things like the Girondoni air rifle.
You can look at The pepper box revolver.
You can look at the letter of Mark and Raprizel regarding a private ship to have cannons, which is at least an AR-15.
It's not like you need to spend that much time if you're reading the documents and you go, okay, this seems pretty straightforward, but maybe there's some context I'm missing.
What does this mean?
Pick an article.
You can search just that article, that name, and within 10 seconds find supporting documents and explanations there.
And it doesn't take very long, and it's pretty unanimous.
So, yes, we should not enforce a state religion.
By the way, it's directly in line with Christianity in that God gives you choice.
You are not to be killed for rejecting the Christian faith.
That's nowhere in our faith.
That's nowhere in our charter.
Great.
And then, of course, our founders and the people who created this country and believe this country could only be preserved based it on deeply held beliefs and the conviction that it was only designed for a moral and a virtuous people, or it would cease to be.
And the funny thing is, that's why they talked about it so much.
That's why they wanted to preserve it.
Do you know who wants a moralist and a virtueless people because they're easiest to pray on?
Okay, let's say you disagree with the morals and virtues or the believed that you subscribe to morals and virtues of Christianity.
Let's say you disagree with that.
Okay.
You at least acknowledge that there are rigid morals, values, right, and virtues according to this doctrine.
Okay.
Tanya said that you disagree with it.
The people who want to pray on a moralist and virtueless society are the people who seek to destroy the very idea to deconstruct those morals and virtues to begin with.
Are you familiar with Karl Marx?
Are you familiar with every Marxist, communist, socialist regime that has ever existed?
Along with guns, first thing they do is remove God.
Why?
Because those people are easier to pray on.
Now, there is no higher authority.
Your authority is me, Stalin.
Your authority is me, Mao.
Your authority is me, Pol Pot, right?
We're going to do this all for the common good.
Well, who determines?
Let me tell you what the common good is.
Now, our moral code, the virtues valued in our society, the unwritten agreement is going to be determined by me.
And it doesn't even need to be consistent because it can be the exact opposite of what I told you three years ago.
But by God, we have a crop shortage.
So even if you are not a Christian, just, and I see this a lot, and I know that most of you do, appreciate the fact that you have that hedge of protection and covering over your God-given inalienable rights because of Christianity.
We've broken this down.
A lot of people have done this.
Unalienable means their birthrights.
They are not given by government.
They are not granted by government.
They are simply recognized by government.
And the government, their role, is to protect those rights that are already yours.
It's the difference between an invasion, right?
You invading and someone invading your home.
It's already your home.
You already have these rights.
And the job of the government is to stop people from invading it.
That's a very, very different viewpoint.
When I say we're the oldest democracy, constitutional republic in the world, I mean we're the only one who has had that viewpoint of government and unalienable rights and maintained it and not changed it that still exists right now on earth.
That's no small thing.
And something else, that's no small thing.
Inalienable meaning basic human rights.
Birthrights are not exclusively reserved in any way for Christians.
Are you a human?
You have inalienable rights.
That's a very uniquely American concept.
I'm glad other people followed suit.
I prefer the original article.
