Time Text
They have some leverage.
No, they have none.
So the lines of control have pretty much not changed for two years.
And say what, here's the thing.
At this point, and this is considering where we are now, if other nations, namely, you know, us financially helping them, had not gotten involved, Ukraine would already be Russia.
They would have no say in it whatsoever, ever, ever, ever.
And at this point, they still really don't have all that much leverage.
They can do nothing.
Again, take everyone else out.
What does Ukraine do?
Now be Russia.
So it doesn't mean that that's a good thing.
It doesn't mean that it's right.
It doesn't mean that conquering people is morally justified.
I'm just saying that it is.
And the only reason that it is not in this case is because of our good graces.
And so, like, we get it.
There's also an interest that people have in not seeing Russia, one could argue, expanding their border.
I understand that.
We just ask that you not demand our services and berate us and wear a wife beater while doing it.
Oh, and then, oh, wait, no, no, no.
It's not just that.
It's that if we don't force them to do something, then we have to sanction them into doing something by maybe doing secondary sanctions and maybe addressing India and China at a certain point, which could economically impact us and also potentially start a war.
Maybe even a hot war.
I doubt it, but maybe it's close, right?
That's what we have to do.
All of this.
And look, I get it.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have probably died in this war.
Guess what?
They're doing it still today.
They're doing it still today.
This war, just because those lines haven't moved, it's not for lack of trying.
Something happened in World War I. Lines didn't move.
People still die.
That's why they call it a meat grinder.
That's still going on today.
But the only reason that there is a fight at all is because of the money and weapons that you've gotten from the West, namely the United States, primarily.
Europe has done some good job kicking in.
Here's the thing, too, is Ukraine, like you're basically saying, okay, if you don't get this done now, you're going to try your hand at a war of attrition with the Russians.
Now, here's the thing.
That's all they have.
The Russians, yeah, they're not technologically advanced military.
They're not a particularly formidable fighting force.
A lot of people thought that they were.
It turns out they're kind of crappy.
The only way, though, you have to give them credit.
The only way they've really ever won wars is war of attrition.
It's kind of their thing.
Like, all the mediocres have their calling cards.
And for Russia, it's war of attrition.
It's throw more bodies, see what happens.
And if you want to do that, that's one where if I were a betting man and I were to bet this is like a life and death situation, I would bet on death.
So it always wins.
Here's Rubio, who is, again, most improved player over the last few years laying down.
He's defeated Rubio.
He's just the best Rubio.
He's constantly calling the media.
They'll say something like, no, no, that's not true.
That's a lie.
That's not true.
That's not what happened at all.
It's like a brother who's tired of his sister who went to college being a know-it-all.
I'm like, you have no idea what you're talking about.
So he laid it up.
Both sides are going to have to give up something.
Hey, that makes sense.
In order for there to be a peace deal, this is just a fact.
We may not like it.
It may not be pleasant.
It may be distasteful.
But in order for there to be an end to the war, there are things Russia wants that it cannot get.
And there are things Ukraine wants that it's not going to get.
Both sides are going to have to give up something in order to get to the table in order to make this happen.
That's just the way it is.
And I mean, the sooner we accept that, that's the reality.
Now, what those things are, it's going to be up to both sides.
There's no conditions that can be imposed on Ukraine.
They're going to have to accept things, but they're going to have to get things too.
Yeah.
It's called a compromise.
It's called negotiation.
So some of the demands from Russia, like Ukraine withdraw from the Donbass region, that they freeze the lines of control in two other regions, that they allow the Russian Orthodox Church to operate in Ukraine, make Russian the official language.
Some of these are very unlikely to take place.
Shirks.
What a deep move.
You speak our language.
Yeah, they just jumped in like, look, okay, Donbass region.
All right, we need to freeze lines of control.
Also, you are all going to speak Russian.
Yeah, well, you know why.
They've done that before.
They went in there and basically said all of Ukrainian culture is gone.
You can't teach in any Ukrainian stuff.
You have to have Russia and this, Russia, and that.
I get it.
I understand it's a power move.
They've tried to do it.
We will make one exception for Milakunis if she's into hotel room.
Wait a minute.
Milakunis now or Milakunis 10 years ago?
And the Milakunis.
You shut your mouth.
That's super weird.
All right.
Research just chimed in to say making Russian an official language.
Oh, I thought I was making Russian the official language.
That's actually not that bad.
No.
Okay, you can have two.
You know, it can be like Quebec, only without so many people having sex with sisters.
We are not Somalia.
Unless sister is Milakunis.
That's right.
Look, look.
Every rules are meant to be broken.
So claim.
The next claim you'll see is that Zelensky is specifically bringing EU.
Hold on, hold on.
I'm sorry.
Come on.
What?
Well, the problem was I was going to admonish you for saying the official language when it was an official language.
And that was the closest claim button to that.
Well, that one's not as fun.
But I could still admonish.
Yeah, you can admonish me even though.
Even though that's what research told me they were doing.
That's also true.
But I'll take the wrong.
But it's me.
It's my face.
I can't admonish run through or run through.
Sorry.
Yeah, admonish run-through.
Admonish Gerald again for that.
Yeah, yeah, come on.
Admonish himself.
I think we all agree on this.
Definitely.
This is the trilateral agreement.
Monished research has admonished Gerald.
Hey, look, a black chick on CNN.
So, the next claim, let's hit claim again.
Day!
Woo!
That Zelensky is specifically bringing leaders from the EU to make sure that Trump doesn't bully him in his moisture-wicking t-shirt again.
You know, there is concern from the Europeans that President Zelensky is going to be bullied into signing something away.
That's why you're these European leaders coming as backup tomorrow.
And here's the truth, pretty much in real time from frustrated, exhausted Rubio.
No, that's a lie.
That's not true.
They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from being bullied.
But you said that they're coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from being bullied.
They're not coming here tomorrow.
This is such a stupid media narrative that they're coming here because Trump is going to bully Zelensky into a bad deal.
We've been working with these people for weeks, for weeks on this stuff.
They're coming here tomorrow because they chose to come here tomorrow.
We invited them to come.
We invited them to come.
The president invited them to come.
I don't know why they think that Zelensky can be bullied into anything.
Some would argue that Putin is bullying him by killing his people.
Yeah, that's true.
And he's still trying to fight back.
I don't think a couple of jokes in a, hey, can you thank me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know if Zelensky's fighting back so much anymore, but he certainly has the garb for it.
Well, but it's also not bullying when you go, hey, by the way, since we are your benefactor, we're funding your little excursion here, and we understand and we're on your side.
Maybe it's time to stop with all the fighting.
And we'll just guarantee.
You remember that NATO thing you wanted?
We will act as though, you know, NATO is us anyway.
So this is basically the same thing, just without the title.
So Russia can go back and, hey, they're never going to join NATO.
Fantastic.
Russia wins.
And you can go home going, hey, if they ever invade again, the United States is going to come over and knock on their door.
That's a huge win.
Yeah.
That's not bullying.
That's saying, hey, get to the table and stop being an idiot.
Your people are dying.
Do you have any men of the military age left?
Do you have any?
Yeah.
I can't imagine using the word bullying on international policy stage.
Yes.
There's really, here's the thing.
It's a trial Of a parallel historically, there really isn't one as far as this kind of grandstanding, certainly to this bold of a degree, when you have no abilities yourself.
It would be like if, let's say, the United States actually was an evil empire.
And I've always had proof positive that it's not as that Canada is allowed to exist.
That's true.
But let's just say that the United States decided that they were taking over Canada tomorrow.
Now, let's say in a parallel world, no one in the international community, right?
Canada was on its own.
It was Canada versus the U.S., right?
They had to defend a country bigger physically than the United States with about a tenth of the population.
And imagine if the Canadian leader was going, We will fight to every last man, and they're all gone.
Like, no, you're not in a position where you can't.
This is from Montana.
Yeah, it's done.
Oh, Canada is no longer a thing.
That's what, and people will tell you you're a Putin apologist because you understand human reality.
You're in a war that you can't win.
Rubio said it great.
You know, it might not be something we like.
It might be distasteful, but he quoted Tupac, just the way it is.
Just the way it is.
Some things will never change.
Yeah.
Then he started singing ghetto gospel.
Yeah, it was out of line, but you know, it was a good filibuster of that segment.
Yeah.
And then, especially when he had Witkoff do the Elton John party.
Those who wish to follow me.
That's right.
Witkoff.
I welcome with my hand.
All right.
Do we have time to do this Crockett sex offender thing?
I mean, there's always time to make fun of Crockett, but we can take some chat and stuff and keep an eye on what's going on right now.
There's just arrivals.
I don't think they're actually going to get any substance that we're going to hear about until all right.
Well, I feel like we did a lot of chat last week.
So let's get to the latest installment.
You don't like chatting?
No, I do, but I just don't know if people get mad and like if they think it's lazy.
No, they don't.
But let's do Crockett.
Crockett is a racist.
The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys.
I am tired of the white cheers.
It's even worse when a woman says that because not just the race thing, because like you mediocre white boy, like any, again, anywhere else throughout human history, you would just be beaten up.
Yes, that's true.
And made a concubine.
I'm not saying that makes it right, but this is like women being so bold, like, man, fuck.
Oh, oh, really?
Hey, Crockett, clip this.
You're just a mediocre black woman.
Yeah.
That's actually honestly being generous.
By your rules, this is totally fine, I thought.
Yeah, I wouldn't even put it mediocre.
I think you're retarded.
Now.
Oh, I forgot.
We have a song.
We do.
I forgot that we had that because we had the segment ready for last week.
But here's the context.
I love people making fun of white people for not having rhythm and not being able to dance.
And then Don Lemon exists.
I know.
Homosexuality must take it out of you.
No.
Oh, no.
I've seen plenty of gays who can move.
Just not Don Lemon.
He's like Zamba.
He's like all the worst qualities of white people that black activists make fun of, but then he also gets to claim he's oppressed as a black guy.
I just don't know how he still is a thing.
He's not really a thing.
So here's the context.
Jazzy, funky DJ Jazzy Crockett made the claim that her neighbors aren't sex offenders.
You guys know what happens at conservative events.
Grinder blows.
It goes off.
And so Everything that they preach about, every accusation is a confession.
Yes.
Yes.
You know what's so funny to me?
Where, where, highest number, and I'm talking about percentage-wise, the highest number of registered sex offenders.
Where do they live?
Red States.
I'm about to say Texas.
Texas.
Texas has.
Uh-oh, Congress.
Oh, she's going to say nothing now.
Almost 80,000 registered.
Not my neighbors.
Yeah.
Uh-oh.
Not your neighbors, huh?
So they very likely are Jasmine's neighbors.
There's 1,234 sex offenders within five miles of her congressional office.
Hey, wait, wait, wait.
Isn't that Lane's neighborhood?
Is it?
Oh, the Zag.
So here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
It is true, and not just because Gerald gets around.
Sorry, Gerald.
It's true in total numbers, but here's why.
Kind of like, you know, they just, for example, they say that violent crime is lower in D.C. because they stopped registering certain violent crimes.
They're just no longer considered a violent crime.
Well, in Texas, they're actually really pretty strict on this.
They have broader definitions as to what constitutes a sex offense.
They have lifetime registration for most sex offenses, unlike California, where there is no automatic removal in Texas, for example, after a certain amount of time.
Like in California, there's an automatic removal.
You were a sex offender, but we think you're probably not anymore.
And in Texas, you just stay there.
So they're broader, they're stricter, they punish more harshly, and it's a lifetime sentence.
Here's the next truth: when you look at that number per capita, well, Texas is in the bottom one-third of states.
It's not even in the top 10.
It's not even close.
Why don't they?
That's the only number that really matters in this case.
Yeah, so it goes, I'm not saying per capita.
I'm saying the total.
Do you know where the total number of sex offenders is highest?
I don't know.
Let me guess.
It's one of the top three largest states.
If we're talking about a total number.
And of the three states, New York, California, Texas, I would imagine it's the one that's red because they're a lot more strict on sex crimes, right?
I'd imagine it's the one that requires you to continue being registered your whole life.
Yes.
Yeah, that one.
Rather than have an expiration date and be able to get off the list.
Yeah.
So this is just, and this is always what they do, right there.
They always try and weaponize sexuality despite being super tolerant.
When they say it's a confession, do you mean like saying that conservatives, Republicans are a threat to democracy, do away with the First Amendment, have a ministry of disinformation, and don't even have a primary but have a coronation for someone who nobody voted for who couldn't win their own state and place dead last in their previous primary?
Do you mean like that, saying a threat to democracy?
Do you mean like saying, hey, Donald Trump is a stooge of Russian again, a threat to democracy while you guys fabricate a made-up story to antagonize a superpower like Russia that kind of nudges them into war?
Do you mean like that?
Do you mean like a fascist government who's going to come and put all of you in concentration camps while the Republican Party and conservative movement is very, very adamant about the Second Amendment and people being able to protect themselves while you disarm them and go house to house if you had your way to take away their guns?
Do you mean like that?
Do you mean like that kind of a confession?
Do you mean like that?
Here's a bonus.
Al Sharpton, also retarded, gave a longer time a really flattering compliment at a different event last week.
I lived to see Shirley Chisholm morph into Barbara Jordan, morph into Maxine Waters, morph into Ariana Presley and Jasmine Campbell.
So I haven't lived in five generations of black women that were starred up when black men were too afraid to stand.
It got worse when he said good.
Yeah, not just a Jasmine Campbell.
Mm-mm, good.
Yeah, I just love that suit.
Make a meme.
Jasmine Campbell, good to the last drop.
I'm just so intimidated by his intellectual prowess.
Oh, my God.
Right.
Prowaris.
Oh, she's such a badass that she stepped right up and corrected him.
Oh, wait.
Oh, did she not?
No.
No.
Didn't say anything.
Jasmine Campbell.
If you were a mediocre white boy, I would be pissed right now.
That's right.
It's pronounced mediocre.
Mediocrate.
Mediocrate.
T. Mediocrate Crate.
Mediocrate.
I learned that word yesterday.
Nice rhyme.
Now let's eat some cake.
Let's eat some cake.
Let's put away all the hate.
Time for some cake.
It's getting late.
It's getting late.
Need to go masturbate.
Don't taste it.
Test my fate.
I was going to say, don't test fate.
I feel like this segment's been second rate.
But Trump disagrees with you, sir.
Los Angeles is going to host the Olympics.
My God, get me some Mozimpics.
Just keep shrinking and looks worse.
Shrinking.
He does.
They are just examples of walking black mediocrity.
I mean, can you think?
I don't know.
That's an insult to all mediocres to call Al Sharpton mediocre.
Yeah.
Like, mediocre means you're passable.
Yeah.
Al Sharpton.
A little bit of work, you maybe make it to the next level.
This guy, no.
I don't want to just, I don't want to see Al Sharpton front and center.
I want to see the people who whisked him to the public eye front and center.
Like the people who clearly saw him as a useful stoo.
Because you know there were people in positions of authority, money, influence who sat down with him.
They had a meeting with Al Sharpton and said, like, oh, this guy's perfect.
The Republican Party?
Yeah, exactly.
Didn't they run him in a primary?
Or was he in a Democratic primary?
No, no, it was a Democratic primary, of course.
But I thought I thought it meant Republican Party because it's perfect for us.
We don't want to.
No, I just got it wrong.
We want him to win.
We need him to win.
Stop talking with your slop.
I happen to be a psyop.
He really is.
If you were to say psyop, you'd be like Al Sharpton.
Look at that.
Come on.
This guy's clearly a paid stooge.
Let me ask you this.
Who's the future of the Democrat Party?
Obviously, the past and present is Al Sharpton.
You think it's Crockett?
No.
I hope so.
No.
Donald Trump said on Truth Last Friday, he said, Jasmine Crockett is the future of the Democrat Party.
Big endorsement.
Everyone, when you think Democrats, think Jasmine Campbell.
Campbell's her middle name.
Jasmine Lipton.
No.
Jasmine Hungryman.
You some instant Jasmine Crockett.
Jasmine Progresso.
Hold up.
Jasmine Rice.
Stop naming foods, Al.
All right.
She's the niece of Uncle Ben.
That's right.
And I spent much time I enjoyed with Aunt Jemima.
Oh, my God.
If he had called her Jemima Campbell.
Oh, my God.
Jemima Campbell.
Jasmine Campbell alone.
Congresswoman Jemima Campbell.
Excuse me.
I mean, everyone makes mistakes.
I get it.
It's very, but he makes them always.
I know.
Always.
It's like without fail.
I know.
Like, do you think he's ever in his head going, oh, no?
Like, I don't know.
I'm telling you, I said this before.
He's soaked up.
There's not a chance he thinks about it.
Someone will go, hey, Mr. Sharpton, you know, you referred to her as Jasmine Campbell.
What'd I say?
That's a.
Well, I just said you said Jasmine Campbell.
What'd I say?
That's who it is.
That's right.
Nailed it.
It's Jeff.
No, it's Jasmine Crockett.
Close enough.
Quite certain it's Campbell.
You're tired of your stuff.
It's about to get rough.
That's right.
Shit.
Wait, me.
No, no, no.
That's a reverend.
The reverend.
The reverend.
Hey.
All right.
Let's grab some chats on this topic, I suppose, at this point.
Yeah.
Can I have you guys?
So, research, can you send in the MS Now thing?
What?
You'll understand in a minute.
MS Paint.
Don't make me faint.
I want.
Oh, God.
I feel it in my tank.
We can take a chat until that comes in.
I just want to say that.
I'm confused.
I'm confused.
What is it?
It's big news this morning.
Very big news this morning.
MSNBC has an announcement to make.
They are now rebranding as a headline.
Thanks a lot.
Having a logo or an image.
I don't know.
Something.
Get out of here.
MS Now is their new MS Now.
That sounds like one of them Jared Lewis kids.
Yeah, that sounds somebody get this cracker telephone.
We need something and if you want to help the children you call 1-800 MS Now MS Now there we go instead of MSNBC because that's gonna change the fate of the network I love how they kind of made it patriotic, but they put in an equal sign multiple sclerosis now MS Now and it needs from my source who was the one who determined the branding was it Al Sharpton like you know what this network needs is to look like a Sonico station That
one's always eluded me Hey, I'm a Sonico man.
I ain't go to Kitgoat.
Can I see MS Now again, please?
A Rossitroc.
That's terrible.
That's terrible.
Bucy's is too big a gas station.
Can't find nothing at Bucy.
Quoteet.
I ain't going to that Quoteet no more.
Listen.
Listen.
This is an outlet.
Okay.
Let's have it.
He's so dumb.
It's just he's so dumb.
I can't believe he's a person on TV.
He's a person that other people look up to.
I don't think anybody does.
Not anymore.
Oh, they have to.
They invited him to be on that panel.
There was.
They were like, you're someone of note.
You are an inspiration to our community.
Have you ever gone through him and Jesse Jackson's record of like the horrible things they support?
Because it was just anything black.
It was the, was it the African, the new African Nuwabians, whatever, like the guy, he set up a cult.
Nubians.
No, no, they call it Nawabians.
Like they didn't call it Nubians.
Yeah, he set up a cult in Georgia.
He left Connecticut.
Oh, I know George.
He went to Georgia.
And at first, it was like a cowboy cult because they were like, everyone here, do you want to dress up like this?
So they're going to the town center in like cowboy hats with handkerchiefs.
And people are like, what are you doing?
We don't dress that way here.
So then they became like an alien cult.
And then they became Native Americans.
And then it was like the Moors and the African Nawabians.
And the guy had a pyramid and he was banging chicks in there.
And it's like, I think he killed people.
He was just, he was basically a rapist.
And you can see pictures of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson showing up.
Like, yes, we support this cowboy, alien, Nawabian cult.
You're like, are we in a pyramid?
Yeah, and it was made of like cardboard.
It was like a trailer that was just, they just, they just put a veneer of a pyramid over it.
I got to be honest with you.
This sounds pretty cool.
Yeah, well, Cowboys and Aliens has already been done.
The African Nawabian Moors, the new African Nawabian Moors.
You guys can find it.
Mission Control, bring it up.
We talked about it a long time ago.
I remember that vaguely.
I mean, this kind of sticks in your head when you talk about this out of Georgia, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a compound in Georgia, and so they were going to shut it down because of all the rampant crime and sex offenses.
And Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson showed up, and it's like, they're not even embarrassed to show their face in public.
Yeah.
The guy who lit it was like a guy who kind of looked like Tupac, and he would be in there playing Nintendo 64 and then banging sex slaves.
Hold on, in his cardboard pyramid?
Yes.
He had electricity in the cardboard pyramid.
He had like a hat MDF it.
Yeah, it was like there was like a kit house, I think, in the pyramid.
And they just made it look like, yeah, there you go.
What was it?
What was it called?
The Nawabian Nation.
The Nawabian Nation.
Wow.
Yeah.
Let's see.
And they had a bunch of different iterations.
Like, it was a cowboy cult.
It was an Islam cult.
Then it was a cowboy cult.
Then it was an alien cult.
Then it was a Native American/slash more cult.
You just got to figure out what works.
Yeah, look.
And that's all fake.
Like, you could tip it over with one hand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were there.
And it's like, they still get to have credibility after that?
Well, I'd go to the pyramid.
Yeah.
I'd go to the pyramid.
I'd be like, wait, what the hell's going on?
It's just like.
I'm sorry, this is a sex pyramid.
It was so bad.
It's like, you know, when you see a haunted house in the daylight, you know, and you're like, ah, this is, it's just like.
Yeah, it's very sad.
Yeah, it's just, it's just like beets juice thrown all over the place.
Right.
And like, you know, Dalorama, fake hands.
There's a clown with his mask off and his on his cell phone.
Yeah, he's putting the chain back on his chainsaw.
Yeah.
Smoking a cigarette talking.
Alimony attorney.
All right.
Let's grab.
Let's grab some chats.
Cat in the hat.
That was that.
Nice ride.
All right.
First chat from the sheep.
From Jason G18.
Question recruit.
What do you think Trump said to Putin when he pointed at the B2?
Oh, I know.
Shuck my balls from behind.
This could be over Moscow real fast.
He probably said something like, it's the last time you'll ever hear one of those.
That's right.
There's a lot he could say.
You know, you could blow me from the back.
Next chat.
I've got more.
I've got more at home.
There's plenty more where that came from.
Back in the United States.
I love that, by the way.
Oh, yeah.
That's what the left was attacking him.
Yeah.
Because he was like, and I'll, right after this, I'll fly back to the United States.
And they're like, you're in the United States.
Yeah.
Like, yeah, he meant kind of.
He meant the continental.
You know what?
We know what he meant.
The rest of the states.
I think he left like at 2 a.m. or something, and then he put out his post before 5 a.m. on Zelensky.
Yeah.
So he just pulled it all night of this guy.
He worked all night.
Just compare that to Biden.
And by the way, he should be getting more sleep, just to be clear.
But the fact that he's able to do it when duty calls is something I'm happy to have.
All right.
Next.
Just got it washed.
Recently he said, chime in that the Nuwabian Nation of Moors is an SPLC-designated hate group.
Oh, well, they are now.
Oh, sick.
See, you guys said, yeah, it was Nuwabian Nation of Moors.
I was close.
I was close.
No, you were fine.
It's hard for me to remember.
I haven't read up on that.
You understand your black Georgia cults?
Yes, I do.
Well, it's been a while since he left the group.
Yeah.
I tried to join.
Turns out they weren't taking any whites.
Didn't go over all that well.
Reapply.
Maybe they've changed their minds.
My mind.
He said, but look at my booty.
The only thing historically accurate about that is that they had black people doing free labor on those pyramids.
Oh, that's true.
I don't think they paid anybody.
It's not like a cult.
You didn't get paid.
No, I'm quite certain they didn't pay anybody to build those pyramids.
Yeah.
There was no scale.
It was just do it or die.
It was aliens again, bro.
Very doubtful.
Yeah, pretty much.
I also believe that.
Yeah.
I believe that also.
Yeah, all of it.
All right, next chat.
All right, next chat from Dustin Bauer.
Do you think that deporting the left's constituents?
Yeah, sure.
GOP has a chance winning in Deep Blue Cities.
No.
No, it's not that.
It's not enough.
I do think that deporting illegal aliens and changing the, I think in combination, I've talked about this.
So deporting any illegal aliens, okay?
And making sure there's voter ID changes what we consider swing states dramatically.
For example, Arizona is not.
Georgia is not up for grabs.
Probably, I mean, North Carolina hasn't really been all that much.
And even some places in the Midwest, when you're talking about only tens of thousands of votes, yeah, I think it changes that quite a bit.
And I certainly think it changes districts as far as seats and representation.
Winning deep blue cities, no, I mean.
Now, Portland isn't deep blue because of illegal immigration.
Right.
You can maybe argue a place like Los Angeles.
The numbers might surprise you if you completely get rid of illegal aliens, certainly from the census.
Yeah.
That's the big thing.
That's what will change is the representation in Congress based on the census.
That was a huge, huge factor in this.
And listen, that has to happen.
Yeah.
That's one of the biggest things that we can do.
And it's not just to guarantee control.
Right now, the scale would definitely tip to us.
Maybe at some point in the future, that looks a little bit different.
But right now, it would definitely tip.
But that's what it's supposed to be.
A lot of these deep blue cities don't run a good GOP candidate, too.
Right.
Like New York City has a GOP candidate.
It's a loss, typically.
A Republican candidate, and he's just some weird beret guy.
Yeah.
Oh, well, he's one of the, what was that, the Angels Guardian Angels?
The Subway guy.
Yeah, the Subways.
Not a chance.
Not a chance I'm voting for a guy with a beret.
No, it's pretty true.
Call me.
I don't know what you would.
Come on.
Would it help if you knew that he led the group that just rode the subways and protected people from rampant black crime?
That is pretty cool, but I wouldn't vote for him.
No, no, no.
I mean, I'd vote from over that communist, but I still wouldn't.
I'd be like, could you ditch the beret?
Just get rid of it.
Yeah.
Conditional voting is something different.
What if it's a green beret and he wears it because of service?
That's still pretty douchey to keep wearing a beret after.
You keep wearing it after, unless you're currently involved in green beret activities.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The beret just sucks.
I just wanted to throw that out there.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the beret.
It's like, who are you, Guile?
Yeah.
Next chat.
Do you still wear a beret?
In the movie, Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Oh, in the movie.
Yeah, he was the American patriot with a French accent, with a Belgian accent.
Yes.
All right.
Next chat from Carfel.
Question for the crew.
Do you think once the war is over, Zelensky is out, giving him reason to keep fighting?
Yeah, he's definitely out.
Yeah, I don't think he's going to win re-election.
Yeah, I don't know if that would be the reason that he's...
I think there's no single reason this is a man with an ego that's out of control, but it's certainly a factor.
And I know some people are going, the reason he's doing this is because he knows he'll be hung up for war crimes.
That's probably not going to happen, but he probably will be out.
I don't even know if there are any ways to go.
He said he's hung up for.
I don't know.
He said that he would give up the presidency if this is months ago.
Yeah, I remember.
I'm trying to remember what the conditions was, but it was something like, if they can join NATO.
I think that was it.
Yeah.
I think it's like, if Ukraine can join NATO, then I will give up the office.
Which got a legitimate concern in that Russia has interfered in their elections many, many, many, many, many times.
So I understand that there's an issue there.
And that was the whole maiden thing is that they thought that this was a Russian stooge, essentially.
And then now it's an American stooge, and that was a problem.
So I get the problems that are going.
I get the problems.
I mean, the only way is if he ends up getting some kind of decisive victory, like he'd be seen as a hero.
But people have a short memory for heroes.
I would do that, though.
I would say, all right, all right.
Look, you can join.
You can join NATO if you give up your presidency.
And then when he gets to NATO, I'd be like, oh, wait, hold on a second.
You must be this tall.
Oh, so close shit.
Close.
Or they pull the old switcheroo and they let him join NATO.
And then he steps down.
Putin's like, I'm president of Ukraine now.
Yeah, NATO.
Yeah, exactly.
I think he would step down, though.
Yeah.
I think, yeah, I think he steps down.
I think he wants to save himself the embarrassment.
He's got a lot of money sacked away for a rainy day.
So, you know, he wants to go live on an island somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But by the way, he doesn't have 50 million stocked away every month to a UAE account as rep Anna Luna Paulina posted.
She posted out a screenshot to an article that doesn't even exist.
Oh.
It's like, I'm just amazed at representatives.
Yeah.
Let's go with that.
All right, next chat.
All right, next step from Pedro the Mexican 15.
Okay.
Hello, Pedro.
Do you think Islamic immigration is a literal Trojan horse, an army forming over time thanks to mass immigration?
Britain is loaded with Muslims, and there's now lots of talk of civil war.
Do you mean a Trojan horse?
Do you mean from people orchestrating it like the Democrat Party?
In which case, no.
They just want mass migration because they want votes.
Do you mean from the Muslim countries?
Then it's certainly a tool that they would use.
Because if you actually, again, read up on Shri Law and how they're supposed to spread their religion.
Yeah, of course that would be something that they would use.
Also, they've said it.
Yes.
That's a part of it.
That's a big part.
I think in like 2007, 2008, I was talking about this with the church that we went to when I led the ministry school part of it.
We did a class, and part of it was their thing.
It's like, okay, well, we can't, we don't have the economic or military power to go and take out these countries, but we can just immigrate to those countries and have birth rates that are much, much, much higher, and they'll be majority Muslim nations before you know it.
Well, and they said Germany by 2050 at the time, I think that they were warning might be a predominantly German or Islamic nation.
I don't know if that's still holding true or not, but still, that Poland's doing it right.
Well, let me ask you this because here's the thing.
These people come from largely in historically very barbaric countries.
And I mean that.
Barbarism is the law of the land in comparison to what you enjoy as your day-to-day life.
So let me ask you this.
If you, let's say you had some people who were invading your house or invading your property, and they had the tools of a SWAT team, right?
They were coming with MP5s and they had night vision.
So you knew they had every advantage.
And you just had some sharp objects, knives, blunt weapons.
What would you do?
You would use the tools at your disposal, right?
You'd probably try and set some traps.
You're not going to outshoot that.
You don't have any guns.
So you would use every tool that you have at your barbaric disposal.
So these people look at Western nations.
They look at us and they look at us as civilized nations.
And they see that a part of that is compassion and empathy.
And they have to use the tools that they have at their disposal.
And they're largely barbarians.
And a big tool of that is not the political, we think political process.
They think, get in, have a bunch of kids.
That's their guerrilla warfare culturally.
And they've talked about it.
We'll use their democracy or democratic type systems against them and we'll vote for it.
I would hope that they would come here and go, oh, we're going to have kids.
And they get here and then they have kids and they're like, this is pretty good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They actually like this.
They won't.
Yeah.
A lot of them saying, sometimes I just say my wishes out loud.
I know.
The United States.
But the United States is a little different, and that's why the Democrats want to change it.
In Europe, their whole idea of multiculturalism and it not being a melting pot, but a mosaic where you're not here.
You're supposed to be American first when you come here.
That's not really the case in Europe.
And so that's why these people get special treatment and they have language laws.
When people point to peaceful Muslims, they almost always point to the United States where our constitutional laws and the rights that you all enjoy sort of preclude mass groups of Muslims from gaining that type of political foothold.
Yes.
That's not the case for Europe.
So there's a very big difference.
It'll work with Europe.
It really shouldn't work in the United States if we stand on guard and just say, no, we won't allow it.
Of course, the Democrats would allow it, and they don't even know what it is that they're allowing.
Let's grab it.
Is there an update?
Well, there was just some clarification on that article.
It's from sources from Sputnik.
That's the article that she was referring to, and it's obvious propaganda.
It's not saying Zelensky.
It's even saying that people around him were doing this.
And so she should have known, I guess, is even more the point.
Yeah.
She should have known that that was.
I think that might have been added later, Richard, because I went to the site and it wasn't there on Saturday or Sunday when it was.
Really quickly, I did see something at the bottom of that screen that I haven't seen anywhere else.
I don't know if that's old or not, but it says Hamas agreed to a 60-day ceasefire.
Is that a new breaking thing?
Or is this good old Sputnik throwing out more propaganda?
Yeah, dirty scallywags over there.
30 minutes ago, they put it up, but we'll see.
Sputnik did.
I'm not hearing anyone else covering it.
I can't trust Sputnik.
No, I can't.
Sorry.
I hope it includes releasing hostages.
Yeah, no kidding.
It's one thing that people just always forget.
They just conveniently forget.
Yeah.
They conveniently forget that they're still like, what can Gazans do?
I don't know.
Maybe give up the hostages.
I don't know.
The whole reason this started, maybe you just give those, maybe you just let people not be hostages.
Yeah.
It's just not as common.
We're in an open-air prison with hostages.
Yeah, with billions of dollars in funding over the last 20 years that we chose to build a subway system that's bigger than the London Underground.
Yeah.
You could have had a paradise and at least a close.
But more importantly, the hostages.
Nothing stops until the hostages.
I don't think Israel has done a great job of being really clear.
If the hostages are given up, we'll talk about a ceasefire because they do seem to want more than that.
But for people saying this, people on the other side, the Dave Smiths of the world, are saying that this needs to stop.
These are war crimes without providing the context that there are still hostages that were taken.
That could be released.
That could be released.
This could all stop today.
The humanitarian aid crisis could stop today if Egypt opened up a single gate.
Let's start with: hey, hey, if they give up all the hostages and then Israel completely just goes, you know, laughs at them in their face and just keeps killing all of them.
All right, but we're not there.
There still are hostages.
So until that changes, I'm like, yeah, you know, I get it.
If it was one of my kids, that's where I'm at.
I don't love everything that Israel's doing.
Sure.
I think there's better ways to go about it.
And, you know, I'm not, you know, I'm not an expert in the field, but I would say if they gave up the hostages and then Israel continued, then I'd be the fucking.
Netanyahu needs to go.
Like, I'd be the guy that's.
No, listen, listen.
Absolutely.
Hamas has to be, it's over.
It's over.
It will never, ever.
If I was Netanyahu or anybody in that government right now, I understand.
We wanted to have a neighbor.
They have a lot of grievances against us.
Some fair, some not.
They have a lot of, and we have the same to them, some fair, some not.
Let's just say that that's all equal.
You guys get to release the hostages and everything just goes away and we go back to our country and then you guys can just rebuild and start sending rockets over.
Yeah, no, no, no more tunnels again.
No more Hamas.
And I'm sorry, but the people that allowed that to happen in the first place, I'm sorry, just no more.
They will not eliminate Hamas.
How many Israeli citizens have to die over the next 10 years while Hamas rebuilds and is firing some rockets and doing some stuff?
How many are we comfortable with on that side?
Right.
I'm not.
I'm not.
They won't do it, though.
They won't eliminate Hamas.
It'll never happen.
The reason?
No, here's how it will happen.
They won't.
Israel has never been given an opportunity to win ever.
It's always limited actions.
It's always targeted this.
This time it's not, but it's always been limited actions.
Give them time to win and be done.
Sorry.
This is the only choice.
There is no way those two people next to each other anymore.
I'm certainly not opposed to it at all as long as they're hostages.
In other words, let them do as no, they don't need our money and they don't need our aid and they shouldn't determine international policy.
I agree.
I agree.
But 100% agree.
Whatever it takes to not only get the hostages back, but to inflict punishment, pain, wounding, maiming on anyone involved in the kidnapping, the taking of, and still withholding of hostages.
I get it.
Get the citizens out.
Guys, this place is no longer going to be habitable for you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
And you're going to be like, oh, well, that's this, that, screw it.
Screw it.
You really want them to just go live there and be bombed again?
Because that's what you're saying Israel is going to do for eternity, and Israelis don't want them.
They're bombing them.
So how about this?
How about we disperse them into wonderful neighborhoods?
We give them tons of money to set up their community.
money that we would have sent over to Gaza and the money that Israel was sending into Gaza through aiding Hamas or anybody else.
How about we send that with people like a voucher?
They get to go to one of these other countries around there and set up shop.
And if you don't like it, Egypt, how about we just take your stuff and segment a group out for a place out for them to live?
Because we don't really care what you have to say anymore.
You have some pyramids and that's about it.
That's over.
It's done.
This whole like appeasing people and oh my gosh, this is what led to where we are today.
Yeah.
Somebody gets to win.
It's force doctrine.
I'm sorry.
The greater forces, Israel doesn't take us for that to be the case.
And I get it.
And I do have some grievances with Israel as a nation.
Of course, social administration.
Lots of them.
Yeah, lots of them.
But think of the cruelty of, assuming you believe all the numbers coming out of, you know, Hamas and coming out of Palestine.
The cruelty of the people in charge, Hamas, to allow their people to starve and still not give back innocent hostages.
We're not talking about soldiers.
Like, that's pretty cruel, right?
You're watching your own children die when you could at least start by giving up hostages who you kidnapped from a music festival and likely raped.
Who knows if they're alive or dead at this point?
But isn't that like you were elected?
You've been tasked with taking care of your people and you've decided that keeping these hostages is more important.
So I don't know why the blame only goes once and not on the people who willingly took innocent hostages.
Like until that changes, I don't really have a whole lot to say on it and it's going to continue and I get it.
Final chat.
All right.
Final chat since we're on the subject.
Jay Donato 12 asks, question for Stephen.
How do we have a fruitful conversation with someone who universally supports Palestine and won't listen to seemingly any reason?
That's a really good question because you know what?
It's almost impossible to have.
And this is why this conflict has been going on for a long time, because both sides do have legitimate grievances.
And it seems like you'll have a side where Israel can do no right, and then you'll have a side where Israel can do no wrong.
And it kind of just depends on where you start the timeline.
You want to go back thousands of years?
Okay, well, then we have another problem.
If you want to go back to pre-World War II, okay, those are people who are going to likely side with Palestine.
You want to go back to post-World War II and the international agreement, those are people who are likely going to side with Israel.
Or you might have people who see that and say that it was a scam and they had no right to do it.
It really comes down to the timeline and whose land you think it is.
And that's why at the center of this, people don't like to admit this.
But as far as they are concerned, meaning those on the side of Israel and those on the side of Palestine and Hamas, it is a religious war.
Like we can say that, hey, you can support one of these nations because you believe that it's a bastion of democracy, or you can support one of these places because of human rights.
But the war that they're fighting is based on, or their premise, timeline and view of the end of the world, view of the Holy Land.
Like that, that is a big part of why they're fighting this war.
And so it really is tough to introduce reason to that sometimes because people are starting off from such a biased premise there.
And I think that Christians in this country are guilty of it too.
You know, when you saw Ted Cruth at Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz was rightfully pushed.
Where I do think that we need to look at this, certainly as a matter of policy, rationally at, okay, who are the bad actors and who are those acting in good faith?
It is really hard to, here's what I will say.
You do, before you get to that, you do need to be able to determine, because there are people who legitimately have a problem with Israel and their policy.
And then there are people who are actually anti-Semites.
And I would say that the anti-Semites are a significantly smaller portion than those who have a problem with Israel in international policy.
Now, if you start having this discussion and someone goes, what about the USS Liberty?
Or what about the Levon affair?
Whatever.
And they start going down the route.
Yeah, like that's someone where no reason that you introduce would make sense.
Just as surely if you speak to a highly observant Jew and say, okay, yeah, we understand, but what about this going on right now with Israel?
What about the fact that there are people in Netanyahu's own cabinet who disagree with the way he's going about this?
What about the fact that the polls have changed because of the approach here and the communication has been really bad?
And they go, well, no, actually, what I want you to do is look at Hamas and look at Palestine.
That's someone to whom you can't introduce reason either.
But if you go to someone, I've had these conversations and they go, well, these travesties of human rights.
And I've had these people where I go, well, what about the, like, would you, would your opinion change or would you grant me that I have two very differing views, almost like BC and AD, pre-hostages being released and post, where my opinions would be very different based on that scenario.
And I've had people go, yeah, okay.
And they said, so, so if the hostages were all released, you would, I go, yeah, then I think that there could absolutely be a conversation.
And certainly, I think it would be appropriate to have a conversation regarding the severity and the treatment of the civilians.
Right now, the primary duty of the Israeli government, like it or not, would be to retrieve the hostages, not to look out for the best interests of any citizens of Palestine, let alone any members of Hamas.
Matter of fact, that would be a betrayal of their own people because they have people who they need to get back.
For me, those are two different worlds, pre-hostage release and post.
And we don't find ourselves there yet.
But in talking about this with people, it really is one of the toughest ones to break through.
And sometimes it's the toughest one to break through because of people at the top who are dishonest and who are manipulative.
And you see this when you see people talking about Israel's war crimes, which I think a case can be made.
And I understand that when they talk about the history of Israel, and they'll go through all of this and they'll get really granular and they'll bring up stuff that you couldn't possibly know if you spent a lifetime studying it.
And some of it's true and some of it's completely fabricated, but they never even address that a huge focal point here is the hostages right now in 2025.
That's someone who is knowingly being dishonest and manipulating.
So what I would say is before you get to that point, try and identify the person you're speaking with and if they even accept that reality as a premise.
If they don't or they dismiss it as irrelevant, I'll tell you, and this obviously is not an optimistic answer, you're probably wasting your time.
You really probably are wasting your time.
And that would be with people on both sides.
That would be with someone who's talking about Israel can do no right.
And you go, well, do you understand that there still are hostages and that needs to change?
And they go, well, no, what about?
And they just dismiss it.
That person can not really be reasoned with.
Same thing if you talk with someone in Israel who says, we need to do this.
And we need a one state.
You go, okay, but hold on a second.
Would you acknowledge that if they give up the hostages that maybe then there could be some talks that could, they go, no, this is what I, you're like, okay, well, then it doesn't really matter to you.
You've already set in stone what needs to happen regardless of the circumstance.
And like I've told you, as far as Russia and Ukraine, that's just not how the world is.
And that's certainly not how war operates.
It's just not how it operates.
Things change based on circumstances.
And there are opportunities that weren't available yesterday that may be available tomorrow.
If none of that changes, you're dogmatic.
It's a holy war.
And hey, I guess go do your thing.
We're not going to agree with you, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to reason with you.
That's a huge, valuable skill, both here domestically in the United States and often in dealing with conflict is being able to differentiate.
And I haven't perfected this yet.
I always struggled with it.
Being able to differentiate between the minds that you can change and those that you can't because they are the ones doing the brainwashing.
It's two very different approaches.
And if you can pretty much spot it on the outset, you can save yourself a lot of time.
So I guess it's optimistic for you because you'll have more time to do, you know, other stuff, like, I don't know, maybe knitting or learning how to read a prompter if you're Al Sharpton.
We'll see you tomorrow.
That would be nice if he comes.
The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys.
