=== Virtual Tasting and Harsh Words (05:00) ===

[00:03:19]  It with you.
[00:03:20]  Welcome to the lineup live.
[00:03:25]  I should have seen what I look like because I didn't.
[00:03:27]  I don't look in the mirror.
[00:03:28]  We have a lot to get to today.
[00:03:31]  Some harsh words for Israel today.
[00:03:35]  In case people are thinking, ah, you get $7,000 a post because you think that the Ayatollah is a terrorist.
[00:03:41]  No, not really thrilled with what's going on right now in Lebanon, the way some people say it.
[00:03:46]  I say Lebanon, but you may say Lebanon.
[00:03:48]  Ceasefire, all.
[00:03:49]  And is Donald Trump, President Trump, responsible for fracturing the Republican base?
[00:03:53]  The MAGA base, the America First base.
[00:03:55]  Well, some people would tell you that.
[00:03:58]  I would tell you that there was no base.
[00:04:01]  We'll make the case Romney, McCain, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor.
[00:04:06]  We'll go through just how bad the Republican Party can actually be.
[00:04:10]  It's not perfect, but my God, was it worse.
[00:04:12]  And Nikki Glazier, she was on the Call Her Daddy podcast, and it's I don't know how else to say this.
[00:04:20]  It's two whores being whores giving bad advice, and then these same women will go out and criticize the manosphere.
[00:04:26]  So.
[00:04:26]  We got something for him.
[00:04:27]  On with the show.
[00:05:00]  What I love about Pinot is that it's one of the oldest grapes in the world.
[00:05:03]  It's thin skin makes for a lighter bodied wine, and the most interesting thing is it's a very temperamental varietal, delicate, that thin skin has great flavors, but it's sensitive.
[00:05:16]  It can only grow well in certain regions.
[00:05:19]  And not, oh, geez, come on!
[00:05:21]  It puts the mug in the basket.
[00:05:23]  What the hell are you guys doing up there?
[00:05:25]  My apologies, folks, if you can give me just a moment, if you will.
[00:05:28]  It puts the mug in the basket, it does what it's told.
[00:05:32]  I'm in the middle of a virtual tasting down here.
[00:05:35]  What's wrong with you?
[00:05:36]  It puts the mug in the basket.
[00:05:44]  It puts the mug in the basket, or else it gets the hose again.
[00:05:48]  That doesn't make any sense.
[00:05:50]  This is my mug.
[00:05:50]  I've got 126 people.
[00:05:52]  Put the mug in the basket.
[00:05:54]  What do you want?
[00:05:55]  What do you want?
[00:05:59]  Sorry, I'm sorry if the whole silence of lambs thing.
[00:06:02]  It was a bit.
[00:06:03]  I was trying to think of a funny way to ask you to be CEO.
[00:06:06]  I mean, this is really in your wheelhouse.
[00:06:08]  You're doing a bang up job and, you know, appreciate you.
[00:06:12]  Just like for you to come on board.
[00:06:14]  So, seriously?
[00:06:16]  You're just great, Gerald.
[00:06:17]  You know, appreciate you.
[00:06:18]  Top notch.
[00:06:19]  CEO of Mug Club?
[00:06:22]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:06:22]  You know, it's a long time coming, Gerald.
[00:06:24]  I mean, you really do.
[00:06:25]  You have my full confidence and we all want you here.
[00:06:29]  Wow, Steven.
[00:06:29]  Gosh, like, it really means a lot to me.
[00:06:32]  I mean, this whole time, I just thought that, you know, you were.
[00:06:36]  I said, put the mug in the.
[00:06:37]  Okay, okay, here.
[00:06:38]  Fine, the mug's in the basket.
[00:06:40]  Great, that's great.
[00:06:41]  I'll draw up the paperwork.
[00:06:43]  You want to maybe grab some lunch when I'm done here?
[00:06:46]  I already ate.
[00:06:47]  Oh, come on, we've got to celebrate.
[00:06:49]  This is a.
[00:06:50]  I just want to celebrate.
[00:06:54]  What are you doing?

[00:07:51]  Glad to be with you.
[00:07:53]  Quick question.
[00:07:53]  Now that you've had 24 hours, and now that I have to adjust the headphones because Gerald was here yesterday, where do you stand on the ceasefire?
[00:08:02]  How do you think it's going?
[00:08:03]  And what do you think about Israel firing off their rockets at Lebanon like it's 4th of July?
[00:08:11]  I get it, technically, okay, but it's not something that a great friend would do.
[00:08:14]  We'll talk about that more.
[00:08:15]  Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?
[00:08:17]  I'm fantastic.
[00:08:18]  I know.

=== Public Fetish and Ceasefire Questions (12:20) ===

[00:08:19]  If I could only go back in time.
[00:08:22]  Why?
[00:08:23]  Oh, that was all.
[00:08:25]  It was such a touching origin story.
[00:08:27]  And he didn't know.
[00:08:28]  No, I want to relive it, Stephen.
[00:08:30]  What are you talking about?
[00:08:30]  It sounded like you wanted to undo it.
[00:08:32]  Yeah.
[00:08:33]  It puts Stephen Munner's ungerald screen.
[00:08:35]  I was.
[00:08:37]  Isn't that great, big fat in Munner?
[00:08:40]  I was really doing Stephen's interior monologue.
[00:08:43]  If I could only go back in time.
[00:08:45]  That was back when transvestites, is what we called them, or transsexuals, they were known as the psychopaths they were in the films.
[00:08:52]  All the rage.
[00:08:52]  Yeah, it was fun.
[00:08:53]  They were like, ah, transsexual, they're only going to be in the film if they're a serial killer.
[00:08:56]  That's right.
[00:08:57]  It was accurate.
[00:08:59]  Friday, Saturday, April 24th, 25th at Comedy Avenue in Lawton, Oklahoma.
[00:09:03]  You know him, you love him, Mr. Josh Firestone, not underscore Firestone on X. How are you, sir?
[00:09:07]  Good, good.
[00:09:07]  I'm excited to go to Lawton.
[00:09:09]  It's the fruit basket of the cannibal.
[00:09:12]  Yes.
[00:09:15]  I thought it was the bread basket.
[00:09:17]  Nope.
[00:09:17]  That's why they call it the bread basket.
[00:09:19]  They'd punch them right in a bread basket, see?
[00:09:21]  When did this become the bread basket?
[00:09:24]  That's where the bread goes.
[00:09:25]  I guess that's where bread goes.
[00:09:26]  You put the bread in the basket.
[00:09:27]  It could have been like the rice bask.
[00:09:29]  Anyway, hey, that's in Japan.
[00:09:31]  Quick update.
[00:09:32]  Gerald was here, but on you, Penn, we've spoken with you about this.
[00:09:36]  Obviously, it's not going to be happening this week because the live stream event would be blocked from live streaming and our security wouldn't be able to do their job.
[00:09:45]  But there was a Daily Pennsylvania article that said Steven Crowder debate at Penn canceled after producers back out of contract.
[00:09:53]  Here's the thing: of course, they have to do this, they have to save face.
[00:09:56]  No one backed out of anything.
[00:09:57]  We said we were coming, we're going to live stream as we agreed early on this year.
[00:10:01]  They changed the terms.
[00:10:03]  And I don't know why they singled out the producers.
[00:10:04]  Lane's really upset about that.
[00:10:06]  Well, they, there you go.
[00:10:09]  Moving the goalpost.
[00:10:10]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:10:11]  I don't know how he caught the frag, but.
[00:10:12]  Yeah, I mean, look, this is something we've been trying to do for a very, very long time.
[00:10:16]  We've run into these hiccups before.
[00:10:17]  That's why we were clear in the outset.
[00:10:19]  Look, we'll be live streaming it.
[00:10:20]  We'll be bringing our security.
[00:10:21]  We'll work with yours.
[00:10:22]  And they say, you can't live stream for safety.
[00:10:24]  All right.
[00:10:24]  Oh, and by the way, your security can't do all the security stuff.
[00:10:27]  We're like, what happened to safety?
[00:10:28]  You win.
[00:10:28]  So.
[00:10:29]  Don't worry.
[00:10:30]  Nobody reads newspapers.
[00:10:32]  That's.
[00:10:34]  I thought you were going to say, don't worry.
[00:10:36]  Nothing bad happens to conservative speakers on campus.
[00:10:38]  It does.
[00:10:39]  Right?
[00:10:40]  How much do you guys want to bet that there's someone, if you had to bet, eh, there's a speculation, there'd be someone in the UPenn administration who probably had some opinions on Charlie Kirk that they wouldn't want to see the light of day.
[00:10:52]  How much would you bet?
[00:10:53]  I don't think it's paranoia.
[00:10:54]  And when your security is allowed here, but it's like the Iranian inspections.
[00:10:57]  You're like, well, what's going on here?
[00:11:00]  And you don't have to guess.
[00:11:01]  There was somebody that worked at the Performing Arts Center that didn't like us so much.
[00:11:04]  They went to the newspaper and quoted, like, He's going to bring division to this staff.
[00:11:08]  Hatred and bigotry.
[00:11:09]  This person gets to skip the metal detector.
[00:11:11]  Yeah.
[00:11:12]  So, also, by the way, just to let you know, Professor Zimmerman, who was on the show, unless he was being sarcastic, and I don't think he was, he was quoted saying, I think it will allow Crowder to take a kind of victory lap in which he says, You see, these elitist insulated libs are afraid to talk with me.
[00:11:25]  I'll be happy to have a conversation with him.
[00:11:27]  We are actively working with Zimmerman to make the debate happen.
[00:11:30]  It'll either be in another venue where we can live stream or security can be controlled.
[00:11:35]  We may even, you know, worst comes to worst, we'll do it in here and set up some podiums.
[00:11:39]  Yeah.
[00:11:40]  But we'll make sure that happens.
[00:11:41]  And we do have an arrangement right now.
[00:11:42]  We're working on Harvard in the fall.
[00:11:44]  Yes, live stream.
[00:11:45]  Yes, security.
[00:11:46]  These are unreasonable asks.
[00:11:48]  I know.
[00:11:49]  It is nice.
[00:11:50]  He's an adult.
[00:11:51]  Yeah.
[00:11:51]  Wow, it's great.
[00:11:52]  Yeah.
[00:11:53]  They didn't ask him.
[00:11:53]  I wanted to.
[00:11:54]  He wanted to.
[00:11:55]  Students wanted to.
[00:11:56]  It's just the administration at UPenn.
[00:11:58]  Yeah.
[00:11:59]  So, to me, it's like, how do you do a live stream event and not live stream?
[00:12:02]  Well, it's not only that.
[00:12:03]  It's the fact that they could have saved us all of this hassle and just told us up front that we won't be able to do it.
[00:12:09]  Instead, they included it in their proposal and saying, hey, here's the equipment to live stream and then said, oh, by the way, you can't live stream.
[00:12:15]  So, yeah.
[00:12:16]  But Warren Smith did a video on it.
[00:12:17]  I don't know if you saw that.
[00:12:18]  That's right.
[00:12:18]  You guys can go and check it out.
[00:12:19]  And we'll have him on the show because it's something he's encountered too working on university campuses where they make it almost impossible.
[00:12:24]  He said, this really affects the students.
[00:12:26]  The students are, you know, that's the point.
[00:12:28]  They self censor.
[00:12:28]  And that's the problem.
[00:12:29]  That's the whole point to doing this.
[00:12:31]  Speaking of students, you know, this was something that a lot of young.
[00:12:34]  When I was a young whippersnapper, by that I mean a teenager.
[00:12:38]  Punk.
[00:12:39]  When I was a kid, it was like punk versus rap, a lot of kids, as though there were no other styles of music.
[00:12:43]  They were like, ah, punk, skater kids, and then rap.
[00:12:46]  You realize there's rock and roll.
[00:12:48]  I mean, there's heavy metal.
[00:12:50]  Well, punk is very angsty.
[00:12:52]  Yes.
[00:12:52]  It's very angsty.
[00:12:53]  It's great for teenagers.
[00:12:54]  Grunge.
[00:12:55]  Yes.
[00:12:56]  I don't like my dad, and the system sucks, and everything's hard.
[00:13:00]  Yeah, pretty much.
[00:13:01]  Yeah.
[00:13:01]  Pretty much.
[00:13:02]  I wasn't that kid, dude.
[00:13:03]  Some people said punk is dead, and punk.
[00:13:05]  I will formally announce: Punk is not dead.
[00:13:08]  It just transitioned.
[00:13:10]  Here's a guy showing you just that.
[00:13:17]  Oh no, sorry, easy mistake to make.
[00:13:18]  Here's the clip.
[00:13:19]  I love frilly knickers.
[00:13:20]  Oh, that's better.
[00:13:21]  Someone asked in my comments the other day about the shame that surrounds buying women's clothes for AMAB people.
[00:13:27]  A couple of years back, I'd have felt so ashamed of buying women's clothes even online.
[00:13:32]  I'd have probably hid under the bed as the post person came, hoping that they'd drop it off on the step so I wouldn't have to have any human interaction.
[00:13:40]  In fact, there's so much shame that surrounds AMAB people in women's clothes that there's probably a lot of people wildly jabbing at the report button right this second because they just Cannot deal with what's going on.
[00:13:53]  And you love it.
[00:13:54]  Because it's a fetish.
[00:14:01]  You said horny, though.
[00:14:05]  My stomach.
[00:14:06]  You present how you want, and there's absolutely no shame to that.
[00:14:10]  There's a lot of shame in that.
[00:14:11]  There should be.
[00:14:12]  There's actually a significant amount of shame, especially when you look like Buffalo Bill had sex with Gargamel.
[00:14:18]  And that is.
[00:14:20]  Yeah, like the clothing aside, there's shame to be had.
[00:14:24]  Lots of shame.
[00:14:24]  You mean that great big fat smurf?
[00:14:26]  Your sexual orientation, your clothes.
[00:14:28]  Besides that, there's some shame there.
[00:14:30]  Technically, Gargamel's not a smurf, but it was still funny.
[00:14:33]  No, I mean, but he wanted to kill all the smurfs so he could make us wear a smurf suit.
[00:14:43]  Like, I'm tired of, and this is part of the debate, I'm tired of acting like there's an equivalency.
[00:14:48]  You know, people on the right say, hey, you know what?
[00:14:50]  People should be free to speak their ideas, and the left shouts them down.
[00:14:53]  And then people on the left, the people who shout those on the right down, go, there's no shame.
[00:14:59]  I want to be a freak.
[00:15:00]  Let's just be honest.
[00:15:02]  This is a fetish that is being lived out in public.
[00:15:05]  That's what most of this is.
[00:15:07]  Not all of it.
[00:15:08]  Some of them probably had an uncle who hugged them at a cookout or something and they're confused.
[00:15:12]  I understand that.
[00:15:13]  But for many people, it's a fetish.
[00:15:14]  This man wants you to look at him wearing female underwear.
[00:15:17]  Is it a huge deal?
[00:15:18]  No.
[00:15:19]  Normalizing it and telling people that it's the same as normal, I don't care if people are going to say, what is normal?
[00:15:26]  You know it when you see it.
[00:15:28]  That's the problem with it.
[00:15:29]  And this creator, whatever, I think it's give us a chip, is a person.
[00:15:33]  You say creature?
[00:15:36]  It's fair.
[00:15:36]  It would be the right word.
[00:15:37]  You mean that tattooed lip ringed creature?
[00:15:42]  Obviously, he has no problem flaunting himself.
[00:15:44]  See if you can tell why I say it might just be a fetish.
[00:15:48]  Being a princess, I'd rather be a witch.
[00:15:51]  Trade that throne for a flame.
[00:15:53]  And it's what you got rules.
[00:15:55]  I got rules.
[00:15:56]  You wish.
[00:15:57]  Brought up on a pretty steady diet of Cartoon Network in the 90s, and still to this day have an absolute adoration for the Powerpuff Girls.
[00:16:06]  So when this skirt came up for Cuff the Quid, I just had to have it.
[00:16:14]  This is all punk music.
[00:16:15]  Yeah.
[00:16:16]  I call you a bigot for saying that maybe this person has a bit of.
[00:16:21]  Hold on a second, rewind that.
[00:16:22]  The horse is leaning back and away from him.
[00:16:25]  Did you see that?
[00:16:26]  Oh my god.
[00:16:26]  The horse is.
[00:16:27]  What the hell?
[00:16:29]  Look at that.
[00:16:30]  The horse is literally leading, is recoiling.
[00:16:33]  Hold on, here you go.
[00:16:34]  It's like, no.
[00:16:37]  I want to run away.
[00:16:41]  I know not normal when I see it.
[00:16:42]  Yeah.
[00:16:43]  You know why?
[00:16:43]  Because the horse knows it's mentally insane.
[00:16:46]  Yeah.
[00:16:47]  Because this one's going to really hike the spurs into my side here.
[00:16:50]  Yeah.
[00:16:50]  You know what?
[00:16:51]  Why don't you get on my back?
[00:16:52]  Let's reeve this thing.
[00:16:55]  The horse is like, I don't think you know where we're going.
[00:16:57]  But here's the deal, too.
[00:16:58]  It's like, you can do whatever you want.
[00:17:00]  You do have it, and there's no shame in it.
[00:17:02]  Well, okay, fine.
[00:17:03]  Let's say you want to wear ladies' underwear underneath your clothes.
[00:17:05]  Fine.
[00:17:05]  That's not what you want.
[00:17:06]  You want everyone to look at you.
[00:17:09]  Yeah.
[00:17:09]  It gets you aroused.
[00:17:11]  There is no purpose to do this publicly and do a photo shoot with stuff you picked up from a spirit Halloween store other than to have people look at you and to get attention.
[00:17:21]  Then say, I'm just being myself.
[00:17:22]  Isn't it ironic when people say, just be yourself?
[00:17:25]  And to be themselves requires tens of thousands of dollars in tattoos and body modifications and a whole new wardrobe.
[00:17:33]  An influencer account.
[00:17:34]  Yeah.
[00:17:34]  A hairstyle that no one's ever had before except for Gargamel.
[00:17:37]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:17:38]  Nailed that one.
[00:17:39]  But he does, his main message is that punk is not dead.
[00:17:42]  So that brings us to this week's.
[00:17:45]  We're not on YouTube, are we?
[00:17:46]  We are.
[00:17:47]  We're going to dump after it unless you want to dump now.
[00:17:49]  Well, I think we have to, because I have to use the.
[00:17:50]  I think we can dump now.
[00:17:52]  Seven plus one tranny punk bands.
[00:17:59]  Forgot Sivan in the chamber.
[00:18:01]  This week's seven plus one.
[00:18:02]  Seven plus one tranny, tranny, tranny.
[00:18:04]  I'm so glad I can say it.
[00:18:05]  Punk bands.
[00:18:06]  Ah, trannies.
[00:18:07]  Number seven.
[00:18:10]  Sometimes I'm just kind of amazed that this is how we make a living.
[00:18:13]  Number seven.
[00:18:14]  Twink 182.
[00:18:16]  All the penis.
[00:18:18]  Come on now.
[00:18:19]  Fuck on now.
[00:18:22]  Read.
[00:18:22]  I fell in love with the Z at the rock show.
[00:18:27]  Seven plus one tranny punk bands.
[00:18:30]  Number six.
[00:18:30]  The hormones.
[00:18:32]  Yeah, see, because I had to say it the right way.
[00:18:37]  Number five, Josh.
[00:18:38]  The dead name Kennedys.
[00:18:40]  Hey, I get.
[00:18:42]  Oh, yeah.
[00:18:43]  I hate that we even know the term dead name now.
[00:18:45]  It's so silly.
[00:18:46]  Seven plus one trans punk bands.
[00:18:48]  Number four, Gerald.
[00:18:49]  Admiral Levine.
[00:18:50]  Oh, I get it.
[00:18:52]  A different name needed.
[00:18:53]  The pinnacle of health.
[00:18:55]  He was a skater boy, and now he's a woman.
[00:19:00]  That's about as much effort as Admiral Levine would put into a song.
[00:19:03]  Yeah, I think so.
[00:19:04]  Yeah.
[00:19:05]  Number three, Fallout person.
[00:19:08]  Fallout.
[00:19:14]  Actually, you don't even need to change it.
[00:19:16]  Loaded God complex, cock it and pull it.
[00:19:18]  Oh, nice.
[00:19:19]  You can't cock it anymore, though.
[00:19:20]  Yeah.
[00:19:21]  Well, it's gone.
[00:19:22]  Or pull it.
[00:19:22]  Yeah.
[00:19:23]  We're going down, down.
[00:19:25]  Take your genitals out.
[00:19:26]  Going down, down.
[00:19:28]  Take your genitals out.
[00:19:29]  Sugar, we're going down without a penis.
[00:19:35]  I'll be a lady soon and you'll see it.
[00:19:37]  Ha ha ha.
[00:19:39]  A loaded trans complex, cock it and pull it, twist it, pop it.
[00:19:47]  That's product placement.
[00:19:48]  Worse than the rascal flats.
[00:19:50]  Ice cold cherry, Coke.
[00:19:54]  Guys, okay, how much were you paid for this?
[00:19:58]  Number two, Mistits.
[00:20:01]  That's the.
[00:20:05]  And the number one tranny themed punk band, Josh Firestein.
[00:20:09]  My chemical castration.
[00:20:11]  Hey, that's.
[00:20:12]  When I was.
[00:20:13]  I was a young boy.
[00:20:15]  I blocked my hormones and now I'm not a boy anymore.
[00:20:17]  Yeah, he's not a boy anymore.
[00:20:18]  That's the problem.
[00:20:19]  And the plus one, I should tell you.
[00:20:20]  There's no good Photoshop to do with this.
[00:20:22]  Suicidal tendencies.
[00:20:23]  That's been this week's 7 plus 1.
[00:20:31]  For God's Sivan in the chamber.
[00:20:33]  Oh, man.
[00:20:33]  I just, we could totally do a cover of that song.
[00:20:36]  You know, I was wondering, should we hit, I think maybe we should hit Nikki Glazier after.

=== Confusion Over Iran's Offer (15:14) ===

[00:20:40]  Okay.
[00:20:40]  I think, are you guys okay with that?
[00:20:42]  Let's, yeah, I think we should get to Israel, Lebanon, and the ceasefire because we just did a lot of weird trans stuff.
[00:20:51]  Wait, we segmented.
[00:20:52]  Acknowledging, by the way, this is why, that is why you can't let your kids watch Miss Rachel.
[00:20:56]  Okay.
[00:20:57]  That's how it starts.
[00:20:57]  It starts with just a little trans sidekick and then they're one click away from.
[00:21:02]  Celebrating binding their tits.
[00:21:05]  If you're trying to be nice as a Christian conservative in the United States, you have got to protect your children before they get their claws in.
[00:21:12]  Or Powerpuff Girls.
[00:21:14]  That was what this guy was watching.
[00:21:15]  He watched Powerpuff Girls and saw the character him and was like, that's me.
[00:21:20]  Like they wrote it about me.
[00:21:21]  They didn't.
[00:21:22]  They actually didn't.
[00:21:22]  It has nothing to do with you, but you're a narcissist.
[00:21:24]  And I don't mean that in the pop psychology way.
[00:21:26]  I mean that as an actual pathology for many of these people.
[00:21:28]  That's why you want everyone to look at you in your satin panties.
[00:21:32]  All right.
[00:21:35]  Ceasefire right now.
[00:21:36]  Now, let me just be clear as to where we line up on this or where I line up on this.
[00:21:43]  There was a ceasefire.
[00:21:44]  All right.
[00:21:45]  Then Israel started firing into Lebanon.
[00:21:49]  There's some confusion out there right now.
[00:21:51]  We need to clarify that.
[00:21:52]  What was in the ceasefire?
[00:21:54]  What was the agreement?
[00:21:56]  What the hell is Israel doing?
[00:21:57]  And I will tell you this it is at the very least bad optics, but I'm not a big fan of it.
[00:22:03]  If it's on the line, if it's a gray area, Israel seems to be acting with complete disregard for what is best for them.
[00:22:11]  They're not being good friends.
[00:22:13]  In the past, it's been pretty clear that President Trump has been calling the shots.
[00:22:17]  And by the way, we can have a shared interest in Iran not becoming a nuclear power or Iran not getting to the point where they would actually be able to control the Strait of Hormuz through short and mid range ballistic missiles.
[00:22:30]  But I really don't like this idea of Israel potentially risking something that we have put in place and that was agreed upon by other parties.
[00:22:38]  President Trump right now needs to be aggressive.
[00:22:40]  If I was him, I would.
[00:22:41]  I would make a very public statement that even if there's a miscommunication, Israel, you guys got to step in line here.
[00:22:48]  Also, once we're done and we pull out and we hit our agreement, you're on your own, no more money.
[00:22:52]  That's where I would line up on this because they don't know what the f they're doing.
[00:22:58]  They violated it, but Israel violated it too.
[00:23:00]  Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I'd never seen before.
[00:23:06]  I'm not happy with Israel.
[00:23:08]  They don't know what the f they're doing.
[00:23:13]  And in giving ammo to the people who said that you will be going to war for Israel, I still don't believe that's the case.
[00:23:19]  But I've always maintained that I think Israel will act in their own self interest and we will act in ours.
[00:23:24]  The problem where we diverge is if they start acting in their own self interest at the cost of ours.
[00:23:30]  And they're skirting that.
[00:23:32]  So shortly after this ceasefire was announced, what happened?
[00:23:36]  Israel launched massive barrages against Lebanon.
[00:23:40]  Ceasefire is not necessarily the word that comes to mind when looking at these scenes of violence and chaos.
[00:23:45]  From the streets of Lebanon today, as a result of the most intense series of Israeli strikes since the beginning of the war.
[00:23:52]  This resulted in one of the deadliest days between Israel and the Iran backed militant group since the beginning of the war, with at least 110 people killed, but over 800, if not more, wounded.
[00:24:05]  And this all on the very day that international and regional mediators had been insisting that Lebanon was part of the wider ceasefire deal between Israel and the United States on one side and Iran on the other.
[00:24:17]  But we saw that those hopes were very quickly dashed.
[00:24:20]  By the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement, which was then followed by the series of very deadly strikes.
[00:24:27]  So, I'll also, I don't even want to say explain, shine a light on some of the confusion, miscommunications, but there should be no miscommunications.
[00:24:37]  That's my perspective here.
[00:24:38]  Yeah.
[00:24:39]  If you are an ally and if we have shared interests, there should be no miscommunications, there should be no blindsiding.
[00:24:48]  You guys have some explaining to do, Israel, IDF, Especially when they know for their intelligence.
[00:24:53]  Right.
[00:24:53]  Exactly.
[00:24:54]  That's a very good point.
[00:24:54]  You can't have it both ways.
[00:24:55]  So the IDF posted on X in 10 minutes the IDF completed the largest coordinated strikes.
[00:25:00]  Sorry, hold on a second.
[00:25:01]  Things are moving.
[00:25:02]  The largest coordinated strike across Lebanon since the start of Operation Roaring Lion.
[00:25:05]  The strike targeted 100 plus Hezbollah headquarters, military arrays, and command and control centers in Beirut, southern Lebanon.
[00:25:13]  One thing that is kind of funny here is that Iran complaining about it is sort of tantamount to them admitting that they fund Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas.
[00:25:23]  So that part.
[00:25:24]  Is illuminating, but joining us quickly to tell their side of the story is a representative from Hezbollah.
[00:25:46]  That makes sense.
[00:25:47]  I guess you couldn't make it.
[00:25:48]  Yeah.
[00:25:49]  Now, the leadership of Iran, what happened?
[00:25:50]  They threatened to pull out of negotiations, apply more pressure on the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:25:56]  That's an issue.
[00:25:58]  There are a few things to sort of parse here.
[00:26:02]  So, quick background March 1st, Hezbollah attacked Israel in retaliation for the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, right?
[00:26:09]  That's what happened.
[00:26:11]  Or Khamenei, I know.
[00:26:12]  It's one of those things where you, I don't care.
[00:26:14]  Khamenei.
[00:26:14]  Khamenei.
[00:26:15]  Dead.
[00:26:17]  That effectively broke the ceasefire that Israel had with Lebanon since I think it was 2024.
[00:26:21]  So let's go through some of the claims here, the truth, and it doesn't change that this is not good overall.
[00:26:27]  The first claim that's going around is that Israel blatantly violated the ceasefire.
[00:26:33]  Here's the truth probably not, but it still sucks.
[00:26:39]  Probably not, but it wasn't a good move.
[00:26:42]  Probably not, but they're kind of hanging their friends out to dry here.
[00:26:46]  Mm hmm.
[00:26:47]  So, in an interview, Trump did tell President Trump told PBS that Lebanon was, and then I'll give you the other side of the coin as to why people might think they were a part of the ceasefire deal.
[00:26:57]  But President Trump told PBS, Lebanon not a part of the ceasefire deal.
[00:27:01]  I wanted to ask him about what Nick's report included about the strikes that were still happening from the Israeli military on Lebanon that was ongoing this morning.
[00:27:10]  I asked the president if he had seen that there were still military strikes happening.
[00:27:14]  He said, yes, they, Lebanon, were not included in the deal.
[00:27:18]  And I said, why not?
[00:27:19]  And if Lebanon should have been included as part of this ceasefire deal.
[00:27:23]  And he said, because of Hezbollah, they were not included in the deal.
[00:27:27]  That'll get taken care of, too.
[00:27:28]  It's all right.
[00:27:29]  I went on to ask him if he was okay with the Israeli military continuing to bomb Lebanon.
[00:27:35]  He reiterated, it's part of the deal.
[00:27:37]  Everyone knows that.
[00:27:39]  And he said that that's a separate skirmish.
[00:27:42]  So, again, not great communication.
[00:27:44]  It's part of the deal.
[00:27:45]  Everyone knows that.
[00:27:45]  That's a separate skirmish.
[00:27:47]  You have to take the totality of it and say, okay, it seems pretty clear that President Trump is saying, well, they weren't really part of the deal because of.
[00:27:52]  Hezbollah, but we'll get to it.
[00:27:55]  And this was also reiterated by Vice President Bantz.
[00:27:58]  I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding.
[00:28:01]  I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't.
[00:28:06]  We never made that promise.
[00:28:07]  We never indicated that was going to be the case.
[00:28:09]  What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran, and the ceasefire would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states.
[00:28:17]  Now, that said, the Israelis, as I understand it, again, I'm supposed to get a fuller report when I get on the plane, have actually offered to be.
[00:28:25]  Frankly, to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful.
[00:28:32]  That's not because that is part of the ceasefire.
[00:28:35]  I think that's the Israelis trying to set us up for success, and we'll, of course, see how that unfolds in the next few days.
[00:28:41]  But look, if Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that's ultimately their choice.
[00:28:56]  We think that would be dumb, but that's their choice.
[00:28:59]  What are you?
[00:28:59]  Well, I'm laughing because he goes, if you're Hezbollah, which has nothing to do with them, or Lebanon, he said.
[00:29:04]  I'm like, come on.
[00:29:05]  Yeah.
[00:29:05]  He's giving everybody a little bit of room.
[00:29:07]  And I think he's like, hey, that doesn't have anything to do with you.
[00:29:09]  Right.
[00:29:10]  Yeah, I mean, this is a big thing, too.
[00:29:12]  When people, you do need to acknowledge that Iran is the biggest funder of terrorism across the globe.
[00:29:15]  But anywhere you find terrorism, you'll see Iran involved somehow.
[00:29:19]  I wish I loved anything as much as Iran loves funding terror.
[00:29:23]  Now, this was pretty clear from the United States saying it wasn't included.
[00:29:26]  We're going to get to the bottom of this.
[00:29:27]  We're hopefully going to find an agreement.
[00:29:29]  But why would Iran think that this was a violation?
[00:29:33]  Well, here's the good news the Indians have a solution.
[00:29:37]  Blame Pakistan.
[00:29:42]  What the blame?
[00:29:43]  Blame them.
[00:29:44]  Bastards.
[00:29:45]  Yeah.
[00:29:48]  Because in case you've forgotten, the ceasefire was, you know, in part brokered by Pakistan.
[00:29:55]  The prime minister of Pakistan, Shabazz Sharif, wrote on Tuesday, he wrote, With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and elsewhere.
[00:30:12]  Effective immediately.
[00:30:14]  So that seems like some communications may not have been super clear.
[00:30:18]  Yeah, and it seems like there may have been communications that went to Iran from Pakistan and us from them as well, and maybe had different terms on it.
[00:30:26]  We're still not 100% sure because it's Pakistan.
[00:30:29]  Right.
[00:30:30]  Now, I still would say, isn't it weird that India in some cases is making me prefer Pakistan to them?
[00:30:38]  I want to break off a pool queue and force them to have tryouts.
[00:30:41]  I know.
[00:30:41]  They've done it before, though.
[00:30:42]  They used to be the same team.
[00:30:43]  Yeah.
[00:30:44]  So is it Pakistan's fault?
[00:30:46]  Partially.
[00:30:47]  I would still say the responsibility does rest squarely with Israel.
[00:30:51]  If we are allies.
[00:30:54]  That's a legitimate criticism.
[00:30:55]  You guys can comment.
[00:30:56]  That's a legitimate criticism for people to have.
[00:30:58]  World War III?
[00:30:59]  I don't think it is.
[00:31:00]  Donald Trump betraying his base?
[00:31:02]  I don't think so.
[00:31:02]  Since the 80s, he has openly said that Iran will not have a nuke and he was willing to engage in military action.
[00:31:10]  The idea that Israel not acting as allies in good faith all the time?
[00:31:14]  Yeah.
[00:31:14]  Yeah.
[00:31:15]  I think we need to re examine the relationship if they continue acting this way.
[00:31:18]  Yes.
[00:31:18]  I think they did this in the 12 day war ending as well.
[00:31:22]  That's where we got the quote from, from Donald Trump saying they don't know what the F they're doing, and he had to put his foot down to make sure that stopped.
[00:31:27]  It is totally fine.
[00:31:28]  I got a lot of flack for what I said yesterday.
[00:31:30]  It is totally fine to tell Israel to knock it off, to stop it, to shut up, to sit down and let us get this handled because apparently you want peace.
[00:31:38]  There's nothing wrong with getting pissed off and saying, listen, we want peace here.
[00:31:42]  Stop screwing it up.
[00:31:43]  I understand Lebanon fired rockets, they do that all the time.
[00:31:46]  Right.
[00:31:46]  Can we wait two weeks and see if we can finally get this thing done or would you like another 50 years of conflict?
[00:31:51]  Right.
[00:31:52]  That's reasonable.
[00:31:53]  And it's also reasonable to criticize President Trump and also give him credit when he does the right thing.
[00:31:58]  This should not be new stuff to us.
[00:32:00]  Right.
[00:32:00]  Yeah, well, so where are we now?
[00:32:03]  Israel just issued some evacuation notices for some Beirut suburbs and said they plan, they are planning more strikes.
[00:32:12]  I don't like that.
[00:32:13]  Plan all you want, just don't do it.
[00:32:14]  Yeah.
[00:32:15]  Give it a couple of weeks.
[00:32:16]  Like, do you want, okay?
[00:32:17]  Here's the thing, too.
[00:32:18]  If you guys have been paying attention, you know, certainly China, and there have been some rumblings at Russia, they have actually stepped in a little and been like, hey, you know what?
[00:32:25]  At this point, we kind of do need to have something going on here as far as opening up the strait.
[00:32:30]  Right?
[00:32:30]  Anytime you get the United States and China sharing an interest, and that can happen sometimes, too.
[00:32:35]  Toward Iran, that's a good thing.
[00:32:36]  Iran has run out of allies.
[00:32:39]  Israel risks creating allies to Iran, or Israel risks alienating those people.
[00:32:45]  It's like, okay, let's do Lebanon, let's do what's next?
[00:32:48]  Saudi Arabia?
[00:32:50]  You guys need to cool it.
[00:32:53]  Cool it for a bit if the goal is peace.
[00:32:55]  If the goal is to eliminate the threat followed by peace, which is the goal as far as I'm concerned, I hope that's the goal.
[00:33:01]  That's what I've seen.
[00:33:02]  If that is not the goal, like I said, give this war three months, it'll be pretty clear.
[00:33:06]  And then I will make an assessment and tell you, you know what?
[00:33:09]  They handled this poorly.
[00:33:10]  Or it'll be really clear to us that there's some kind of an agreement and we are moving toward peace with hopefully a castrated Iran.
[00:33:17]  Then, Israel, you have to stop right now.
[00:33:20]  I'm not convinced that Israel's goal is peace.
[00:33:23]  I'm not 100% either.
[00:33:25]  I'm not either.
[00:33:25]  That's the point.
[00:33:26]  And I don't know what we get from them.
[00:33:29]  No, I mean, a little bit of intelligence there.
[00:33:31]  Intelligence in that area of power.
[00:33:34]  We have a friend in the area, yeah.
[00:33:36]  But other than that, it seems like we give more than we get.
[00:33:39]  Absolutely.
[00:33:39]  Yeah, we definitely do.
[00:33:41]  And that's a legitimate criticism for people to have.
[00:33:44]  And at this point in time, they are doing, Israel is acting in a way that proves or gives all of their critics ammo.
[00:33:51]  Yes.
[00:33:52]  And I would say that it's fair for them to use that ammo right now.
[00:33:55]  Yeah.
[00:33:55]  This is not a good thing.
[00:33:57]  We need to secure our interests, which is remove the threat of Iran, their capabilities, get back to some stability, move on down the trail, and then no more three to four billion a year, Israel.
[00:34:10]  You guys want to continue conflict?
[00:34:12]  You go it on your own.
[00:34:14]  That would be my position.
[00:34:15]  So, some more threats.
[00:34:17]  That were issued all U.S. ships, aircraft, and military personnel with additional ammunition, weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary.
[00:34:22]  Hold on, this is Donald Trump, Stephen.
[00:34:24]  Come on.
[00:34:24]  All U.S. ships, aircraft, and military personnel with additional ammunition, weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded enemy will remain in place in and around Iran until such time as the real agreement.
[00:34:48]  The real agreement reached is fully complied with.
[00:34:51]  If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, I think then the shooting starts, quotes, bigger, better, stronger than anyone has ever seen before.
[00:35:01]  It was agreed a long time ago, and despite all of the fake rhetoric to the contrary, no nuclear weapons and the Strait of Hormuz will be open and safe.
[00:35:11]  In the meantime, our great military is loading up and resting, looking forward.
[00:35:15]  Actually, my throat is done.
[00:35:16]  It's okay, yeah.
[00:35:17]  To its next conquest.
[00:35:18]  America is back.
[00:35:20]  It's a long one.
[00:35:21]  So here's some more confusion.
[00:35:21]  President Trump says no more enrichment.
[00:35:23]  Iran says they won't stop.
[00:35:24]  Here's the problem, too.
[00:35:25]  Iran, when they offered their 10 point solution or counter offer, this is my counter offer, name that movie line, it didn't say anything about ending the funding for Hamas and Hezbollah.
[00:35:38]  Yeah.
[00:35:39]  And this gives ammo to leftists saying, well, they didn't even, now they want all sanctions lifted, and no other presidents lifted all sanctions.
[00:35:45]  Well, here's the thing, too.
[00:35:47]  The JCPOA, when people talk about the nuclear enrichment, it's a red herring.
[00:35:51]  First off, they were enriching.
[00:35:53]  But let's assume they weren't.

=== Nuclear Enrichment Red Herring (02:32) ===

[00:35:54]  It didn't deal with all of the missiles that were being built and those capabilities.
[00:35:59]  So the JCPOA didn't work.
[00:36:01]  When people say all the other presidents had these sanctions and Donald Trump will be the first one to lift it, okay, now do a billion dollars in cash.
[00:36:07]  Now do six billion in unfrozen assets, right?
[00:36:11]  I don't think there's any world in which these sanctions are lifted or Iran moves forward enriching uranium.
[00:36:15]  That's one thing I think we can be certain of with this administration.
[00:36:18]  I think that, you know, they got to stop doing the nuclear enrichment, they got to halt the ballistic missiles.
[00:36:25]  Include Hezbollah, defunding that.
[00:36:29]  Yeah.
[00:36:29]  I don't see why lifting some sanctions is bad.
[00:36:32]  I mean, maybe you could tell me, but.
[00:36:35]  Yeah.
[00:36:36]  I mean, I guess it depends on what they are, but mainly the sanctions are about enrichment.
[00:36:40]  Bad enrichment of missiles.
[00:36:42]  Those are the main sanctions.
[00:36:43]  And they don't need to.
[00:36:44]  They're past 60% enrichment.
[00:36:46]  They don't need that for nuclear power or anything outside of moving towards a nuclear weapon.
[00:36:50]  Right.
[00:36:51]  This is important for people to remember that, and then the ability to protect themselves so that they could effectively walk out of any agreement.
[00:37:00]  And they would have enough ammunition, enough missiles, short, mid range missiles, drones, to prevent anyone from going in and inspecting.
[00:37:06]  And then it's just a matter of time.
[00:37:08]  Keep in mind, we do need to keep remember, these are people who have said if they get a nuke, they will use it.
[00:37:13]  These are people who have said if they ever gain the capability to wipe America and Israel, but both of us separately off the map, they will do it.
[00:37:21]  So unless you believe that they're bluffing, and some people do, I would say you probably don't understand their particular brand of Islam.
[00:37:29]  Unless you believe that there is no threat, then at some point in time, Something was going to need to be done about Iran.
[00:37:34]  47 years, I think, is, you know, that's enough second chances, third chances.
[00:37:39]  Some would say 47 chances.
[00:37:41]  Doesn't change the fact that the communication needs to be better right now.
[00:37:44]  Here's what I would say as a solution: broker our own deal completely autonomously of Israel.
[00:37:50]  Two people can hate the same asshole.
[00:37:54]  It doesn't mean that we despise them for the same reasons, and it doesn't mean that our grievances are exactly the same.
[00:37:59]  Once we achieve our objectives, okay, we make it clear.
[00:38:03]  It's a very clear withdrawal if and when that happens.
[00:38:06]  And we also put distance between us and say, Israel, you guys are on your own.
[00:38:11]  And they get any and all funding cut if they jeopardize the deal.
[00:38:17]  That sounds fair.
[00:38:18]  Anything else you guys would want to add to that?
[00:38:19]  I think that sounds fair.
[00:38:20]  Like, let's get a deal.
[00:38:21]  Prove to the world right now that you want to get a deal done.
[00:38:24]  Right.
[00:38:24]  So many people right now, you're confirming their worst fears.

=== Autonomously Brokered Deal (02:34) ===

[00:38:27]  Yeah.
[00:38:27]  And you're also giving them the ammunition to go after you a second time.
[00:38:30]  Let's say you have a justified action that you need to do.
[00:38:33]  You have no more rope.
[00:38:34]  I'm sorry.
[00:38:34]  Yeah.
[00:38:35]  The world is basically done.
[00:38:37]  Show them that you really do want peace.
[00:38:39]  And you guys can comment.
[00:38:41]  It is my belief that more of you line up with this perspective than the perspective of people who say they've been betrayed by Trump.
[00:38:49]  We should just vote for Democrats or not vote at all.
[00:38:53]  Or that every single president is guilty of war crimes and should be executed, with the exception of George Washington.
[00:38:58]  Or that Iran are good faith actors.
[00:39:01]  I think more of you, but here's the problem this won't cut through the algorithms and the clickbait.
[00:39:06]  World War III does.
[00:39:08]  25th, Donald Trump does.
[00:39:10]  Or look at this great Israel blitz right on both sides of it.
[00:39:16]  Most Americans, most people I speak with share this perspective that, yeah, Iran's a problem.
[00:39:20]  Obviously, something was going to need to be done, but we need to do it tactfully, and communication needs to be clear.
[00:39:24]  And I don't like it when Israel acts as a rogue nation while claiming to be our buddies.
[00:39:31]  Another thing you don't want to jeopardize, to be clear, not just this deal.
[00:39:35]  Correct.
[00:39:36]  Also, your online financial security.
[00:39:40]  Son of a bitch.
[00:39:41]  This makes no sense.
[00:39:42]  Hey, Jesse, what's wrong, man?

[00:41:44]  Just one time.
[00:41:44]  Come on, come on, do the thing.
[00:41:45]  Let's.
[00:41:51]  That was a sound going on there.
[00:41:52]  Hey, right now it's Women's Health Watch on CNN.
[00:41:55]  Before I get to the next segment, I want to see what they're talking about here.
[00:41:57]  Bring it up.
[00:41:58]  For a very long time.
[00:41:59]  Congresswoman calls for reproductive health leave, a new bill.
[00:42:02]  How much you want to bet it's a Democrat?
[00:42:03]  And how much you want to bet it has very little to do with reproduction?
[00:42:06]  It's probably a deproduction, as in abortion.
[00:42:10]  It may be maternity leave, but isn't that always funny when the left goes, reproductive health care?
[00:42:15]  Oh, you're reproducing?
[00:42:16]  Well, no, we're aborting.
[00:42:18]  When they say reproductive health care, they almost always mean.
[00:42:22]  Killing fetuses.
[00:42:23]  Yeah.
[00:42:25]  I think in this one, it's probably more related.
[00:42:27]  It probably seems like it's more related to maternity leave, pregnancy leave.
[00:42:30]  They would just call it maternity leave.
[00:42:32]  Can someone get me the update on what's going on right now?
[00:42:34]  What's being proposed?
[00:42:35]  Just because.
[00:42:35]  But I just find it funny that CNN has women's health watch.
[00:42:38]  Yeah.
[00:42:40]  Reproduction.
[00:42:40]  Men's prostate gaze.
[00:42:42]  Do you think there's some guy having to go to HR later today because at work he was like, oh, hey, Susan, look, the news is about you now.
[00:42:49]  It's women's health watch.
[00:42:50]  Yeah.
[00:42:50]  Hold on.
[00:42:51]  Wait a minute.
[00:42:51]  I thought men could get pregnant too under their rules.
[00:42:53]  Well, that goodbye horses guy is like, hold on, this Chiron's for me.
[00:42:57]  They said it was Arizona Democrat Yasmin Ansari.
[00:43:01]  Yeah.
[00:43:01]  Okay.
[00:43:02]  They can let us know what it is.
[00:43:03]  They're still telling you.
[00:43:03]  All right.
[00:43:04]  I think it's Yasmin.
[00:43:07]  It's stupid.
[00:43:08]  Tim was like, deport immediately.
[00:43:13]  You have a silly name?
[00:43:14]  Goodbye.
[00:43:22]  It's not our fault.
[00:43:23]  We give ammo to some of the critics sometimes.
[00:43:25]  Well, now we have to fire Oliver Wankwater.
[00:43:28]  Pretty much.
[00:43:29]  All right, here's the next one.
[00:43:31]  You've heard this quite a bit.
[00:43:33]  And right now, there's all the doomers out there going, okay, the midterms are lost.
[00:43:39]  And you don't have to be a psychic to understand that the midterms don't look great if you look at the trend today, right now.
[00:43:49]  But in some cases, the people responsible for that are the ones pointing the finger anywhere else.
[00:43:57]  So, yeah, the midterms may not look great.
[00:44:00]  I don't think that the voting base is as fractured as.
[00:44:03]  Talking heads want you to believe, but there definitely is a notable strain when you have a lot of supposedly Republican or conservative right wing MAGA, America First Talking Heads, invoking the 25th or calling for the 25th all within 12 hours of each other.
[00:44:17]  That's odd to me.
[00:44:19]  I can't give you a reference like we do for all of our factual information.
[00:44:22]  We do that at 11 a.m.
[00:44:24]  We stream weekdays, but it's odd to me.
[00:44:27]  It definitely seems suspicious.
[00:44:29]  But I think that a lot of people may be forgetting just how bad the Republican Party is.
[00:44:38]  Can be.
[00:44:39]  And I say Republican Party because for a long time, the Civil War was trying to bring the Republican Party back to representing conservatives at all.
[00:44:49]  So you've probably heard a lot about people saying, oh, Trump has fractured the MAGA base and it's going to cost Republicans the election.
[00:44:54]  So don't take my word for it.
[00:44:55]  This is exactly what Megyn Kelly said yesterday.
[00:44:57]  We've upset our allies.
[00:44:59]  We've pleased Israel, although now they're upset there's a ceasefire.
[00:45:03]  We've upset the American base.
[00:45:05]  The Trump coalition that got him elected is completely fractured and in smithereens.
[00:45:12]  And he doesn't care, Pierce, because he doesn't care about the Republican Party.
[00:45:18]  He cares about himself.
[00:45:19]  If Trump had to get reelected, he probably would have handled this a little differently.
[00:45:23]  But he doesn't care that the Republicans are going to lose the midterms.
[00:45:26]  I think he thought that was a foregone conclusion.
[00:45:28]  And I don't think he cares that JD Vance or Marco Rubio wins the presidency next time around.
[00:45:32]  I think there's a piece of Trump that would like to say, I'm the only one who could do it.
[00:45:37]  The Republican Party's nothing without me.
[00:45:39]  And the rest of us are going to be around to pick up the pieces.
[00:45:43]  Okay, I understand the perspective, but let me present something to you.
[00:45:47]  There really was no Republican coalition as you know it right now before Donald Trump.
[00:45:56]  I think people, we compare very often, go like, well, you would rather have Kamala Harris?
[00:46:00]  Let's compare President Trump, JD Vance, people like Rubio, you know, notable people in the Republican Party right now, this administration, to other Republicans, not just Democrats.
[00:46:12]  Do you remember how crappy it was?
[00:46:14]  Need I remind you, Mitt Romney?
[00:46:16]  Ugh.
[00:46:17]  Mitt Romney.
[00:46:19]  What a primary.
[00:46:20]  Do you guys know that?
[00:46:22]  He was the candidate.
[00:46:24]  That unbuttered biscuit.
[00:46:25]  Yes, Mitt Romney.
[00:46:26]  By the way, that guy voted to impeach Trump twice.
[00:46:30]  Wow.
[00:46:30]  And back then, of course, you thought that was betrayal because it was Donald Trump, it was a witch hunt.
[00:46:35]  He also, by the way, was the one who created the blueprint for Obamacare in Massachusetts, right?
[00:46:39]  Romney care.
[00:46:40]  And I will say, of course, it's different to do it on a state basis, but this guy has proven himself to be a leftist on many issues.
[00:46:46]  And he even admitted without Romney care, I don't think we would have Obamacare.
[00:46:50]  And then, if you want to compare, because right now people are saying the base is fractured and Donald Trump is a betrayer.
[00:46:56]  Really, just because of Iran, can we be clear about that?
[00:46:58]  It's really because of Iran.
[00:47:00]  That's why people are saying he's betrayed his base.
[00:47:03]  Yeah.
[00:47:04]  And we need to oust him and find someone better.
[00:47:07]  Let's compare the foreign policy.
[00:47:09]  Remember, Mitt Romney has almost never met some kind of foreign intervention that he didn't like.
[00:47:15]  And in 2012, he was not just talking about Iran, but he brought up Russia.
[00:47:20]  What?
[00:47:21]  Iran is the greatest national security threat we face.
[00:47:25]  Russia does continue to battle us in the UN time and time again.
[00:47:28]  I have.
[00:47:29]  Clear eyes on this.
[00:47:29]  I'm not going to wear rose colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin, and I'm certainly not going to say to him, I'll give you more flexibility after the election.
[00:47:37]  Iran today has never been closer to a nuclear weapons capability.
[00:47:41]  It has never posed a greater danger to our friends, our allies, and us, and has never acted less deterred by America, as was made clear last year when Iranian agents plotted to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in our nation's capital.
[00:47:57]  And yet, when millions of Iranians took to the streets in June 2009, When they demanded freedom from a cruel regime that threatens the world, when they cried out, Are you with us or are you with them? the American president was silent.
[00:48:15]  And the point I'm making here is he certainly would be no better on Iran.
[00:48:19]  Also, he wouldn't have the same kind of leadership if you look at his track record as a senator, as governor.
[00:48:26]  You think you would have had Roe v. Wade?
[00:48:28]  You think you would have had the landmark Supreme Court case that we've had?
[00:48:32]  Do you think you would have seen the media be highlighted for the sham that it is?
[00:48:37]  Yeah, exposed.
[00:48:38]  You think he would have pushed back against big tech?
[00:48:41]  Or do you think it would have been the same old, same old?
[00:48:43]  This guy was a spineless wiener.
[00:48:46]  Those are the people waiting in the wings.
[00:48:48]  The coalition was created because President Trump, for all of his flaws, brought something different to the table.
[00:48:55]  Throwing it away would be throwing away the biggest, probably most diverse coalition that the conservative movement or Republican Party has seen in decades.
[00:49:06]  Do I need to remind you?
[00:49:07]  Before that, we had John McCain.
[00:49:09]  John McCain.
[00:49:11]  He's the guy, by the way, who struck down the ACA that repeal in like a midnight vote.
[00:49:15]  He co authored.
[00:49:17]  Climate legislation with Joe Lieberman.
[00:49:20]  If you guys remember, he was part of the gang of eight that backed this path to legalization for illegals, basically citizenship.
[00:49:27]  Not to mention, when we're going back to foreign policy, if Donald Trump is the worst on foreign policy, this guy has said, President Trump has made clear we want to do this swiftly, violently, and get out.
[00:49:37]  These other people, like John McCain, they never even seem to think of that.
[00:49:41]  He never met a war that he didn't like.
[00:49:44]  Here he is singing about it.
[00:49:48]  That old Beach Boys song, Bomber Ran.
[00:49:51]  Bomb, bomb, bomb.
[00:49:53]  Anyway.
[00:49:54]  Yeah, you know, it needs a little bit of work.
[00:49:58]  He didn't really finish the joke.
[00:50:00]  No, he didn't.
[00:50:01]  He didn't believe it.
[00:50:01]  You got to commit to the bit, bro.
[00:50:03]  You got to commit to it.
[00:50:05]  Paul Ryan.
[00:50:06]  Ugh.
[00:50:08]  First off, the worst cover of any magazine ever.
[00:50:11]  Paul Ryan was at Men's Fitness with him doing like his eight pound dumbbells.
[00:50:15]  It was just embarrassing and his hairy twig legs.
[00:50:17]  He's got two first names.
[00:50:18]  Yeah.
[00:50:18]  Don't like him.
[00:50:19]  He was also part of the Gang of Eight.
[00:50:23]  Gang of Eight, tapped to citizenship, refused to fund a border wall.
[00:50:27]  By the way, when Republicans could have done it, just to be clear, when people complain about executive orders, they say they can be undone.
[00:50:35]  Okay.
[00:50:36]  The alternative is we have had times where the Republican Party controlled House and Senate and didn't do anything.
[00:50:45]  Sometimes you guys need to delineate your grievances with the Republican Party refusing to do the bidding of those who voted for them and President Trump's mandate and agenda.
[00:50:57]  So at that point, when you have control over the House and you still can't get it, well, an executive order is better than nothing.
[00:51:02]  See the reduction from 96 to 99% at the border.
[00:51:06]  We effectively have a secure border for the first time.
[00:51:08]  You want to compare Donald Trump to Paul Ryan on foreign policy?
[00:51:12]  It doesn't get any better.
[00:51:13]  You can check all the references.
[00:51:14]  We provide them every single show.
[00:51:15]  He supported drone strikes.
[00:51:17]  Against Al Qaeda around the world.
[00:51:19]  I mean, unprecedented number of drone strikes, supported sending troops to Syria to secure chemical weapons.
[00:51:24]  I'm not saying that all of these things or certainly individual strikes were inappropriate, but the pattern is they supported all of it.
[00:51:33]  You cannot find a Republican.
[00:51:34]  And by the way, I know people saying Thomas Massey.
[00:51:36]  You know what?
[00:51:37]  We had a Massey.
[00:51:38]  Ron Paul, Rand Paul.
[00:51:40]  We had a Libertarian prime.
[00:51:42]  I've had them on the show.
[00:51:45]  We also do have to live in the real world.
[00:51:47]  And that doesn't mean that you're compromising and encouraging bad behavior, because what I'm telling you is the bad behavior, the disloyalty from the Republican Party, the McCain's, the Romney's, the Ryan's, the Eric Cantors of the world, they led to Trump as a better answer.
[00:52:03]  Is it a perfect answer?
[00:52:04]  No, but it's a much better answer.
[00:52:06]  Anyone who's lived through it, would you agree with that?
[00:52:10]  If you had to pick Romney, McCain, Paul Ryan, or President Trump, JD Vance, who would you pick?
[00:52:18]  Where is Paul now, you may ask?
[00:52:19]  Well, we tracked him down.
[00:52:26]  You can do it.
[00:52:27]  Paul can help.
[00:52:29]  He just looks like a guy who works at Home Depot.
[00:52:31]  Yeah, pretty much.
[00:52:32]  He really does.
[00:52:32]  He looks like a guy who goes to Home Depot but doesn't know how to use the things.
[00:52:36]  No, he looks like he works at Home Depot but they didn't hire him.
[00:52:38]  Exactly.
[00:52:40]  They're like, Mr. Ryan, we told you you cannot be here.
[00:52:43]  Yeah, and you can't wear that apron.
[00:52:45]  It confuses the customer.
[00:52:46]  I brought it from home.
[00:52:48]  Bad the candidates have been.
[00:52:49]  Oh, it gets even worse because we wanted to go with the president and vice presidential candidates.
[00:52:54]  Mitch McConnell.
[00:52:55]  Okay, that's a potential alternative.
[00:52:58]  And I know you'll say, well, Donald Trump has been an ally with Mitch McConnell when he is useful, to be clear.
[00:53:06]  Mitch McConnell said that former Vice President Joe Biden won 2020, called January 6th an insurrection.
[00:53:12]  By the way, that gave cover to the corrupt, lawless Democrats who jailed people for nothing more than a walking tour.
[00:53:19]  2008, voted for the $700 billion TARP Wall Street bailout.
[00:53:23]  On foreign policy, again, if we're saying that this is the reason, the deal breaker, Donald Trump's approach on Iran, over which he has been incredibly consistent, let's compare it to Mitch McConnell, he declared Ukraine aid number one priority for the United States.
[00:53:39]  He prioritized Ukrainian security above American border security.
[00:53:47]  You guys understand that's what's waiting in the wings, not just.
[00:53:51]  Is it better than Democrats?
[00:53:52]  Is it better than every Republican we had really in this century?
[00:53:57]  Mitch McConnell recently appeared on Piers Morgan, by the way, had this to say about his upbringing.
[00:54:02]  Tell me about your early years.
[00:54:14]  Hey, come on.
[00:54:15]  That's one of the founding fathers.
[00:54:16]  Yes, exactly.
[00:54:18]  Good for his age.
[00:54:20]  John Boehner.
[00:54:24]  Maybe a decent guy.
[00:54:25]  He's crying so much.
[00:54:26]  Horrible in office.
[00:54:27]  He was repeatedly cutting deals with Obama.
[00:54:29]  You want to talk compromises?
[00:54:30]  Stripping Tea Party members.
[00:54:32]  Again, the Tea Party was designed to try and bring the GOP back to being limited government, to being actually conservative.
[00:54:37]  He stripped Tea Party members of committee assignments on foreign policy.
[00:54:41]  Let's compare them there.
[00:54:42]  Again, since this is the big betrayal, of course he supported the Iraq War, of course he supported military strikes in Syria.
[00:54:49]  We need to be presented with a better alternative because we're looking at not just Democrats, but a 180 in the Republican Party.
[00:54:56]  Well, okay, what would we pivot to?
[00:54:57]  Eric Cantor.
[00:54:59]  I forgot about it.
[00:55:00]  I remember I was there at one of his speaking engagements one time.
[00:55:03]  I didn't go because I knew he was speaking.
[00:55:04]  I was blindsided and I left.
[00:55:07]  Supported path to citizenship, right?
[00:55:09]  Dreamers.
[00:55:10]  Remember that?
[00:55:11]  This is the betrayal.
[00:55:12]  Donald Trump was an answer to the betrayal.
[00:55:14]  That's why so many people, I think Ann Coulter said, Donald Trump could perform an abortion in the middle of Sixth Avenue and I would still vote for him.
[00:55:22]  If he secured the border, it was a quote to that effect because we had seen Republicans for so long basically be Democrats light on foreign policy.
[00:55:32]  Of course, you can look at Eric Cantor, supported US military intervention in Syria, pretty much across the board.
[00:55:37]  So I say this because right now people are saying, ah, we're going to lose the midterms.
[00:55:41]  And it's because Donald Trump is a betrayer.
[00:55:43]  Now, it doesn't mean that he can't be a betrayer if other people have been worse betrayers.
[00:55:50]  But I don't think that he has.
[00:55:51]  We don't have a longer track record of anyone that I'm aware of.
[00:55:56]  On any individual policy than President Trump on Iran.
[00:55:59]  We have that luxury, like I've said, because he was a celebrity before he was president.
[00:56:03]  You probably wouldn't find Eric Cantor's stance on Iran in the 90s, in the 80s.
[00:56:10]  Mitt Romney, maybe.
[00:56:12]  John McCain, I mean, that guy was ancient, so maybe.
[00:56:15]  But unlikely, most of these politicians.
[00:56:17]  Donald Trump was in the public eye.
[00:56:19]  People can say they disagree with it.
[00:56:21]  They cannot say that he said or in any way implied that he would be soft on Iran or that he would continue the JCPOA.
[00:56:31]  So, if he's a betrayer, what's the alternative?

=== Diversified Portfolio Warning (03:07) ===

[00:56:35]  And yes, I do think living in the real world matters because you're looking at Democrats or you're looking at the same old from the Republican Party.
[00:56:42]  This is the answer.
[00:56:43]  Is it perfect?
[00:56:45]  No.
[00:56:46]  I wouldn't even say baby steps.
[00:56:47]  It's a step in the right direction because it's a step away from Romney, McCain, Cantor, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell.
[00:56:56]  You cannot convince me that Donald Trump is the same as Mitt Romney or John McCain.
[00:57:02]  It's a night and day difference.
[00:57:03]  Yeah.
[00:57:03]  And I prefer one.
[00:57:04]  So I would just advise that people be very aware of the decisions you make, the rhetoric out there, right?
[00:57:10]  It will have an effect.
[00:57:11]  And you will end up with exactly who you deserve.
[00:57:15]  And unfortunately, that's probably going to be for them, Thomas Massey.
[00:57:19]  And he's not going to win.
[00:57:21]  Zero chance.
[00:57:22]  No, it's not going to happen.
[00:57:23]  You don't want that guy as president of the United States.
[00:57:25]  And what I really hope happens is when, and I pray this happens, a good resolution to this conflict, everybody gets to see us move back, get out of there, make sure that we have this thing dealt with for a while.
[00:57:36]  All the people running around saying 25th him and everybody else, either they come out and say, Thank God that happened.
[00:57:43]  Maybe I was a little over, maybe I was a little too concerned.
[00:57:45]  Maybe I ran a little bit too far ahead there.
[00:57:47]  And they apologize, or we never listen to you again.
[00:57:49]  I'm sorry.
[00:57:50]  Like you can't go then down that road where I'm just going to keep splitting the base for no reason.
[00:57:54]  When people say, Ah, it's the same.
[00:57:58]  Democrats and Republicans.
[00:58:00]  Right now we're specifically highlighting other Republicans versus this administration.
[00:58:04]  Let's just go back to Democrats and Republicans.
[00:58:06]  It's the same.
[00:58:06]  Okay.
[00:58:08]  Tell me it's the same living in Florida as it is in New York.
[00:58:11]  Right.
[00:58:13]  On taxes, First Amendment, Second Amendment, deportations.
[00:58:18]  Tell me it's the same living in Texas as it is in Minnesota.
[00:58:21]  Tell me there's no difference.
[00:58:24]  Those of you living in Texas, living in places like Florida, who've chosen those states, many of you left places like New York or California.
[00:58:31]  Those of you living there now, tell me that you would have no problem if tomorrow they enacted the exact same policies.
[00:58:38]  As New York, as Minneapolis, as California.
[00:58:42]  It's laughable.
[00:58:43]  I'm one of those guys.
[00:58:44]  I came from Washington for years in Washington, in the Seattle area, and now I'm in Texas.
[00:58:50]  Yeah.
[00:58:50]  Night and day.
[00:58:51]  Of course, you can and should expect better.
[00:58:53]  That's why President Trump won.
[00:58:56]  But to say that it's the same and to not acknowledge that it would be three, four, five steps back, just be careful what you wish for.
[00:59:05]  Also, if you wish for gold, I forgot to mention this, go to lwcgold.com or call 1 800 628 Gold.
[00:59:11]  See if you qualify for a no fees for life IRA.
[00:59:14]  Thank you guys, True Gold.
[00:59:16]  Make it a part of your diversified portfolio.
[00:59:17]  Don't tell anyone or misinterpret this as me saying, sell everything and buy just gold.
[00:59:22]  Don't put all those $7,000 checks into just gold, okay?
[00:59:25]  Yeah.
[00:59:25]  You got to have your shekels diversified.
[00:59:28]  Can you send me your contact?
[00:59:29]  I would like to shill for them.
[00:59:33]  They send me the really big checks, like the Happy Gilmore ones.
[00:59:38]  Oh, perfect.
[00:59:39]  I have a garage to fill.
[00:59:40]  All right.
[00:59:40]  We do have one more segment to.

=== Masculinity, Duty, and Value (07:50) ===

[00:59:42]  Yeah, yeah, I was looking through it because I got all turned around in my notes today.
[00:59:46]  One day.
[00:59:46]  Sorry.
[00:59:47]  And by the way, it wasn't really one day off.
[00:59:48]  You guys didn't realize I was in my office for like six hours.
[00:59:51]  No, we knew you were there.
[00:59:51]  Yeah, I didn't know that.
[00:59:52]  You snuck in.
[00:59:53]  I would have went in there and bothered you.
[00:59:54]  I know.
[00:59:54]  I know.
[00:59:55]  That's why he didn't tell us.
[00:59:57]  I had stuff in the morning and then I was there.
[00:59:59]  I guess a workaholic.
[01:00:00]  I don't know.
[01:00:01]  I don't think that's a real thing.
[01:00:02]  I think it's called being productive.
[01:00:04]  That's what a workaholic would say.
[01:00:07]  Put the admonish on the screen for Gerald.
[01:00:10]  Well, don't call him a workaholic because then we got to have an intervention.
[01:00:13]  We got to convince him to stop working, and then that'd be bad for all of us.
[01:00:16]  Yeah, I don't want to do that.
[01:00:19]  Let's go to a cultural thing here, something pretty important.
[01:00:22]  So, you know, the Caller Daddy podcast?
[01:00:24]  Don't throw up in your mouth.
[01:00:26]  No.
[01:00:26]  Too late.
[01:00:27]  Here's the thing, and I don't consider myself a part of the manosphere.
[01:00:32]  People say red pill.
[01:00:33]  I think when you throw in Andrew Tate and Fit and Fresh, and then you also include people like Andrew Wilson who are deeply Orthodox Christians and Blue, like, what does it mean?
[01:00:41]  But I can tell you the term red pill.
[01:00:43]  There was a documentary, a lady named Cassie J. You can go back to old episodes.
[01:00:46]  She was on the show.
[01:00:48]  She was originally a feminist.
[01:00:49]  She set out to make a documentary, sort of, I guess, criticizing the men's rights movement and realized that they had some legitimate grievances.
[01:00:56]  It was primarily about custody rights, it was primarily about men in the workplace, some of the discrimination or some of the challenges that men face that are dismissed.
[01:01:08]  And she was great.
[01:01:09]  I had her on the show a bunch of times.
[01:01:10]  As I understand it now, she has a family and she's doing a lovely family, doing quite well.
[01:01:15]  But the manosphere, when people point to it, let's just discount the bad because there is some bad advice.
[01:01:21]  But the bulk of what has seen a resurgence in masculinity is rejecting the label of toxic masculinity.
[01:01:29]  And one kind of through line, one constant that you will find across all of these different sort of niches is work on yourself, become healthy, become fit, become wealthy as best you can, productive, confident.
[01:01:45]  And then you will become the kind of person who will attract the kind of woman you would want.
[01:01:51]  That, I think, is good advice for a lot of young men.
[01:01:55]  And you've also seen a lot of young men simply checking out of the dating game, the dating pool.
[01:01:59]  Why?
[01:01:59]  Because they don't like what they're seeing.
[01:02:02]  Okay.
[01:02:03]  That brings us to women loving to point the finger at the manosphere as unbelievably destructive for young men out there.
[01:02:11]  And then we'll compare it to the kind of content that you see in the woman's sphere, if that's a term.
[01:02:16]  These men are not struggling to communicate.
[01:02:19]  They're not emotionally unavailable.
[01:02:21]  They are learning how to control you and they're calling it leadership and it's working.
[01:02:26]  Suddenly it fell into place for me that these boys were being radicalized, that they were being groomed online by these communities extremely successfully and cleverly.
[01:02:36]  Every young guy that I've spoken to has talked about how it's really unavoidable.
[01:02:41]  You look up any content that's sort of primarily male audiences, this manosphere is there.
[01:02:49]  Yeah, but there are far more people in the manosphere like men here.
[01:02:52]  Let me be really clear.
[01:02:53]  You need to be disciplined in body, mind, spirit.
[01:02:59]  You need to set boundaries.
[01:03:01]  You need to live out your values, be consistent.
[01:03:03]  You need to set a plan in motion with actionable steps and go after it.
[01:03:07]  And that should include the right woman and a family.
[01:03:11]  Okay, that's the mainstream view.
[01:03:14]  And reject the labels of toxic masculinity and this idea that women can do everything men can do and vice versa.
[01:03:19]  Men and women are different, and that's okay.
[01:03:20]  Become the man you want and find the woman you want.
[01:03:23]  There are different ways to do that.
[01:03:24]  Now, let's compare this to female based content.
[01:03:28]  I will tell you this the manosphere is a response to it because female centric content is not only just as bad as the manosphere they criticize, it's significantly worse.
[01:03:38]  And it has been that way since the 1960s, certainly with increasing, I guess I should say, degeneracy, perversity in the last 10, 20 years.
[01:03:50]  There is nothing of value that is being offered if you look at the largest.
[01:03:55]  Female centric podcast shows out there.
[01:03:57]  You obviously know about The View, but let's go to some of the online podcasts.
[01:04:01]  Those are, you know, racking up some big numbers.
[01:04:04]  Here's the latest example Nikki Glazier, comedian, had an interesting conversation on the Call Her Daddy podcast yesterday, and she has some advice for a lot of people out there.
[01:04:16]  I'm not someone who likes to hook up with, I'm in a relationship.
[01:04:19]  I'm not really like, I don't really care about that.
[01:04:21]  I, you know, but I don't care if someone else were to.
[01:04:25]  Hold on.
[01:04:25]  In fact, I like, kind of like it.
[01:04:27]  It's kind of a problem, I think.
[01:04:29]  If a guy has a sexual connection with a girl and, like, he was to use protection and just have sex with her for a night, like, I don't, I literally wouldn't care if my husband did that.
[01:04:37]  I don't know why.
[01:04:38]  I don't know why.
[01:04:39]  If he were to, like, walk around with her or, like, do crossword puzzles or, like, send memes and stuff, I would be like, what the f are you doing?
[01:04:49]  If you develop feelings for someone else, tell me and we'll deal with it.
[01:04:52]  Like, I just don't want to be blindsided.
[01:04:53]  But if you want to have sex with someone else, also tell me about it because I want to, like, see what she looks like and, like, ask you about it.
[01:04:58]  He's done some stuff.
[01:04:58]  Yeah.
[01:04:59]  He probably wouldn't appreciate me elaborating on that, but like, there's been interesting things that have been like really fun for me to like hear about and experience and like, and fun for him too, because, you know, you get older, he's 45, and I'm like, get out there, like, get some, know that you're a sexual being again.
[01:05:17]  Like, sometimes I'm like too busy to be really sexy, so I'm like, get out and get some attention.
[01:05:22]  Ah, okay.
[01:05:23]  So, does everyone agree that was a prescriptive take?
[01:05:26]  Get out there, do this.
[01:05:28]  It's, you know, it's good.
[01:05:29]  Find out you're a sexual being.
[01:05:32]  Okay.
[01:05:32]  Um, Let me offer a prescriptive take, which would be criticized as part of the manosphere.
[01:05:39]  Her prescription is have an open relationship.
[01:05:42]  Prove that you're still a sexual person because, you know, your wife doesn't really, you know, I don't have time to.
[01:05:46]  That's a perversion of duty, biblically.
[01:05:49]  The prescription is you are to make sure that your husband feels like a sexual being, and he, you.
[01:05:56]  I know people say, oh, that's rape.
[01:05:57]  You literally are not to deny your husband nor him, you specifically, so that you may not fall into temptation.
[01:06:03]  Meaning, it is your duty to have Olympic sex with your husband whenever he feels like it and him, you.
[01:06:12]  If you abdicate your duty, then you go, yeah, so it's just as good to have sex with someone else.
[01:06:17]  Feminists will declare her prescription liberating, progressive, and mine to be toxic because it means control over women.
[01:06:27]  Now, it goes both ways.
[01:06:29]  But let's be honest, men usually have a higher sex drive, so it's probably something that would require more of a compromise from the woman.
[01:06:34]  If Nikki Glazier took the biblical approach, it would be My husband wants to have sex with me, and I want to make sure that he knows he is sexually desired and feels like a sexual being because we should be that way until the day we die.
[01:06:49]  Instead, go sleep with other people.
[01:06:51]  Now, I will say this it is true that women do tend to want men of value.
[01:06:56]  That's something that they will deny through and through.
[01:06:58]  If you say, Well, you want a man, you don't just want a A nice guy.
[01:07:03]  There are plenty of men available to you.
[01:07:04]  You have unrealistically high standards because you want the kind of man who other women would also want.
[01:07:08]  They'll go, No, no, I just care about his personality.
[01:07:10]  She just told you the truth.
[01:07:13]  And she rationalized it by saying just that.
[01:07:16]  And if you are not, I forgot, we went over time.
[01:07:18]  So if you are not yet a member of Rumble Premium Mug Club, hey, that's what keeps the lights on.
[01:07:23]  That's what keeps the investigative unit going.
[01:07:24]  That's what keeps this whole show going with very little sponsorship placement as opposed to 16 minutes per hour of broadcast.

=== Unrealistically High Standards (00:42) ===

[01:07:32]  $99 a year, try for $9 a month.
[01:07:34]  But If you join annually, you get this wonderful hand etched mug.
[01:07:37]  You're a part of the club and you get 100% more show.
[01:07:39]  We're going to continue with you.
[01:07:41]  So, Nikki Glazier, who, by the way, her stand up specials, 70 to 85%, not just about sex, about her nether regions.
[01:07:49]  Ugh.
[01:07:50]  Vagina.
[01:07:51]  Yeah, gross.
[01:07:53]  Vagina.
[01:07:54]  It's a lot of content about that.
[01:07:56]  Here she is saying the quiet part out loud that those in the feminist sphere routinely deny.
[01:08:01]  She wants a guy that other girls want.
[01:08:03]  Maybe it's my competitive nature of like, I want a guy who other girls want.
[01:08:07]  Like, I like something that is like.
[01:08:08]  You know, you want a handbag that other girls are like, oh my God, I'm dying to get that.
[01:08:12]  I've got to go to the materialistic analogy.
[01:08:13]  It's like showing their value.
