=== Friday War Update (05:02) ===

[00:00:00]  Ladies and gentlemen, it is Friday, April 3rd, 2026.
[00:00:04]  Here's what's coming up on the Owen Report today.
[00:00:19]  Well, guys, you probably saw the big story today.
[00:00:27]  As the war in Iran continues, what are we on?
[00:00:32]  Day 35 now?
[00:00:36]  Yeah.
[00:00:38]  Day 35.
[00:00:42]  $40 billion.
[00:00:46]  And the war rages on.
[00:00:48]  And now, two U.S. fighter pilots.
[00:00:54]  Have been downed in the Strait of Hermuz, around the Strait of Hermuz.
[00:01:01]  We're told one pilot has been rescued, another one is still missing.
[00:01:06]  We're getting mixed messages as far as the aid in the attempts to rescue these pilots.
[00:01:21]  So we'll see if there's any updates on that.
[00:01:24]  But of course, you could say this is.
[00:01:28]  Expected during war, right?
[00:01:33]  At least 13 Americans have died.
[00:01:35]  There are reports that it might be more than that, but we started a war with Iran.
[00:01:39]  So unfortunately, we're paying the price.
[00:01:43]  Most Americans didn't want this war.
[00:01:45]  The vast majority of Americans don't support this war.
[00:01:49]  But the ones that do, they get their way.
[00:01:51]  And none of them have volunteered, by the way.
[00:01:55]  None of the war supporters in politics, none of the war supporters in media.
[00:02:02]  Not a single one of them has signed up to fight.
[00:02:08]  Not one.
[00:02:11]  I guess that says a lot.
[00:02:12]  They want somebody else to go fight and die.
[00:02:16]  Not them, though.
[00:02:19]  Not them.
[00:02:20]  Never them.
[00:02:21]  Always you.
[00:02:24]  So, all right.
[00:02:27]  So, we got that.
[00:02:28]  We got some other war updates.
[00:02:29]  It's a bit of a hodgepodge of news stories today, I've got to tell you.
[00:02:36]  Not much direction, honestly, on this Friday.
[00:02:39]  What I'm really looking forward to is actually, we've got Owen Benjamin on in the second hour for an hour.
[00:02:51]  And that's just going to be fun.
[00:02:53]  You know, we're just going to have some fun on this Friday.
[00:02:56]  That's what we're going to do.
[00:02:59]  And so, looking forward to Owen Benjamin for the second hour.
[00:03:03]  But in the hodgepodge of news, we're going to look at some Trump statements.
[00:03:07]  Where he's clearly contradicting himself.
[00:03:09]  He's clearly, he was either lying then or he's lying now.
[00:03:15]  Maybe both.
[00:03:17]  Probably both.
[00:03:19]  But it's the same story today where he just gives this speech multiple times and he says Iran has no missiles, they have no launch pads, their military has been decimated, they virtually have nothing, they've been defeated.
[00:03:38]  And then the next day comes after Trump says that.
[00:03:41]  And oh, Iran just hit Israel with what?
[00:03:45]  30 missiles last night?
[00:03:47]  So Trump says Iran has no missiles, they have no military.
[00:03:50]  And then the next day, Iran hits Israel with missiles, and then they down two of our jets.
[00:03:57]  Okay.
[00:03:58]  So the lies coming out of Trump are just outrageous.
[00:04:01]  It's just, it's just, it's ridiculous at this point.
[00:04:05]  And then you have this notion in the American right media and whatever's left of the Trump cult, which, by the way, they are okay with lying to you now.
[00:04:19]  In case you haven't noticed, the MAGA supporters in the media, they will lie to you.
[00:04:25]  They have no problem lying to you.
[00:04:27]  They have no problem with Trump lying to you.
[00:04:29]  So they're just as fake news as the fake news.
[00:04:32]  They're liars now.
[00:04:36]  But see, they're not going to call Trump out on these lies.
[00:04:42]  They're going to tell you to shut up.
[00:04:45]  They're going to tell you to shut up and go along with the lies.
[00:04:49]  I mean, holy smokes.
[00:04:52]  You're witnessing it today, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:04:57]  This news update was brought to you by Owenshroyer.store, the official site.

[00:05:08]  Guys, you've probably seen some headlines like this.
[00:05:10]  We've covered a lot of headlines like this in the recent weeks and months.
[00:05:15]  Blue Owl investors seek to pull $5.4 billion from two private credit funds.
[00:05:21]  Fund manager reverses course and limits redemptions as 5% as outflows accelerate.
[00:05:28]  So, in other words, to try to make sense of that headline for you, people are trying to get their capital out of banks.

[00:07:47]  On the cutting edge of news and analysis, the Owen Report with Owen Schroyer.
[00:07:55]  Yeah, you're late.
[00:07:59]  You're late.
[00:08:19]  You're late.
[00:08:20]  I'm never late.
[00:08:23]  It's my show.
[00:08:23]  I can't be late to my own show.
[00:08:28]  No, DMT is late.
[00:08:31]  And I have a suspicion as to why he's late.
[00:08:36]  And you notice we don't have our updated news ticker right now because DMT is late.
[00:08:43]  I think DMT is having fun in St. Louis today.
[00:08:47]  I think he's got a little band of idiots over there in St. Louis, and he's late for the show.
[00:08:53]  And we don't have a news ticker.
[00:08:55]  I'm never late.
[00:08:57]  I see your comments in the chat claiming I'm late to my own show.
[00:09:03]  That's not how this works.
[00:09:05]  This is like, since I'm not syndicated here, if we were syndicated and we had to be on air at three o'clock, then you could say I was late.
[00:09:13]  But we're not syndicated.
[00:09:15]  This is more like a concert.
[00:09:17]  This is more like a concert.
[00:09:18]  So, you know, the concert might say it starts at seven or eight, but the band might not go on till nine.
[00:09:25]  Okay, that's what this is like.
[00:09:27]  That doesn't mean they're late.
[00:09:30]  How dare you?
[00:09:32]  What else can I do to avoid the news?
[00:09:34]  Is there anything else?
[00:09:35]  You guys got anything for me to avoid the news today on this Friday?
[00:09:40]  Really just want to avoid the news.
[00:09:42]  You know, really, you know what we need to do, guys?
[00:09:47]  It's good Friday, by the way.
[00:09:48]  We're thematic today.
[00:09:50]  I got this shirt in Rio when I went to visit the statue.
[00:09:56]  What an awesome place, by the way.
[00:09:57]  Probably my favorite place in the world outside of America.
[00:10:04]  What do we want to talk about on this Good Friday?
[00:10:06]  I really don't even want to talk about the news.
[00:10:08]  I've got the news.
[00:10:09]  We've got Owen Benjamin in the second hour.
[00:10:11]  That's going to be fun.
[00:10:12]  I've got some fun topics for him.
[00:10:19]  But, you know, all right.
[00:10:23]  What do I got?
[00:10:23]  I got Trump lying.
[00:10:25]  What's new?
[00:10:27]  I got the war continuing.
[00:10:29]  You know, what's new?
[00:10:31]  Yes.
[00:10:32]  Thank you.
[00:10:33]  Thank you.
[00:10:35]  At 3 19 p.m.
[00:10:36]  Thank you.
[00:10:38]  3 19 p.m. Central.
[00:10:39]  Thank you very much for that.
[00:10:42]  I know what DMT is up to.
[00:10:45]  He's partying with a band of idiots in St. Louis, and they're trying to get me to join them.
[00:10:49]  I'll have you know.
[00:10:50]  They wanted me to take the show off today.
[00:10:53]  All my St. Louis friends are in St. Louis for Easter.
[00:10:57]  They wanted me to take the show off today.
[00:11:00]  To go hang out with them in St. Louis, but I'm here.
[00:11:04]  I'm committed.
[00:11:05]  I was on time.
[00:11:08]  But the news sticker, there it is.
[00:11:10]  Just a little late today.
[00:11:11]  We're going to forgive DMT on a good Friday.
[00:11:15]  That's just how we're feeling today.
[00:11:18]  That's just the kind of noble, noble person I am, you know?
[00:11:26]  That's just it.
[00:11:27]  You know, here's the news.
[00:11:29]  And I guess we already all realize this, but let's just.
[00:11:33]  Say it now.
[00:11:33]  I think it's okay to just say it at this point.
[00:11:38]  I've got a couple of clips where you can just see Trump is, you know, was he lying then?
[00:11:42]  Is he lying now?
[00:11:43]  Is he always lying?
[00:11:45]  He's contradicting himself.
[00:11:47]  He's changing policy, whatever, however you want to describe it.
[00:11:51]  But here's what I've learned.
[00:11:54]  And, you know, we've been able to kind of categorize this in different ways.
[00:12:04]  We talk about how you have the woke left and now you have the woke right.
[00:12:09]  We've explained that.
[00:12:11]  We've talked about how, in many ways, this cult of personality, this political cult now of Trump support resembles the left, the radical left, the liberal left in many ways.
[00:12:26]  It's different directionally, politically, but it still resembles it as far as how they approach things or how they consume things.
[00:12:37]  But I think today we take it one step further analyzing this new political Trump cult.
[00:12:46]  I think today we take it a step further.
[00:12:49]  They're willing to lie.
[00:12:51]  They are just totally willing to lie.
[00:12:55]  And I don't know what the story is as far as why they are okay with Trump lying to them.
[00:13:03]  So they're okay with Trump lying to them.
[00:13:07]  They don't have a problem with that.
[00:13:08]  All right.
[00:13:09]  But now they're willing to lie.
[00:13:13]  Now, the new Trump political cult, now whatever is left of the MAGA media, let's say, they are willing to lie to you.
[00:13:21]  They have no problem lying to you.
[00:13:23]  And I guess the psychology here is that they justify it because it's in support of Trump.
[00:13:32]  So anything done in support of Trump, then it's okay.
[00:13:35]  It gets the green light.
[00:13:36]  Anything done in support of Trump, it doesn't matter what it is.
[00:13:39]  In this story, just lying to you, they're okay with that.
[00:13:45]  They have no problem lying to you as long as it's in support of Trump.
[00:13:50]  And I think that that kind of tells the big story here.
[00:13:54]  I think that that tells the story of where they're at as far as ethics, as far as integrity, as far as what or who they stand for.
[00:14:09]  You can try to figure out the why.
[00:14:11]  Why do they do it?
[00:14:13]  I think it's because they're in this Trump cult.
[00:14:17]  I don't think it's that complicated.
[00:14:21]  But it's incredible to sit here and watch it happen now.
[00:14:25]  And then I see this other stuff.
[00:14:29]  Like last night, I'm sure some of you saw this.
[00:14:33]  And hey, good for Rex Jones and Tim.
[00:14:38]  I'm sorry, Tim, I forgot your last name.
[00:14:41]  The host of the gray area.
[00:14:43]  They're putting in the work.
[00:14:46]  They start, I mean, really at ground zero, you could say.
[00:14:50]  I mean, Rex, you know, he's got a little name and face recognition now being around Alex and Infowars, but.
[00:14:56]  There's a show that they start themselves that's getting more notoriety in an organic way.
[00:15:04]  He ends up having this debate last night with the quartering.
[00:15:08]  And I like Jeremy.
[00:15:10]  I have no problem with Jeremy.
[00:15:11]  He came out and insulted me the other day.
[00:15:13]  I invited him on the show to debate.
[00:15:15]  He went totally silent on me.
[00:15:18]  I see Tim in the chat.
[00:15:19]  There he is.
[00:15:19]  Tim Tompkins right there.
[00:15:20]  What's up, Tim?
[00:15:22]  So, hey, you guys got him on the show.
[00:15:26]  He didn't want to come on with me.
[00:15:28]  I don't know.
[00:15:29]  I'm not going to comment any further on why that might be.
[00:15:31]  I'm just going to say good for you.
[00:15:33]  He didn't want to hear this heat.
[00:15:35]  He didn't want any of this.
[00:15:38]  So he went silent on me.
[00:15:40]  Jeremy, the quarter pounder, the quartering, double quarter pounder with cheese.
[00:15:46]  We'll take two.
[00:15:48]  So I watch it, and I think, you know, it was kind of like it kind of went off half cocked.
[00:15:56]  And they kind of just did it from the seat of their pants.
[00:15:58]  It still went well.
[00:15:59]  It's good.
[00:16:00]  We need these debates on the right, is what has to happen.
[00:16:03]  And I've got people that are inviting me to these deals now.
[00:16:07]  And they say, Hey, would you be willing to debate this person?
[00:16:10]  It's a person on the right.
[00:16:12]  And it's actually a person I like.
[00:16:14]  It's a person I've done a debate with as my debate partner.
[00:16:19]  And I think it'll even be better.
[00:16:22]  I mean, it almost is better when you talk about these debates to have some semblance of a positive relationship because I think it kind of opens up this new door, this new realm in debate where you can get really heated and passionate, but it doesn't have to get personal.
[00:16:40]  And it doesn't have to come from a place of hatred, but you can actually really hash it out that way.
[00:16:45]  It's like what you might do with friends and family when you talk trash.
[00:16:48]  But anyway, so they have the debate.
[00:16:52]  And I caught some of it.
[00:16:53]  And I'm looking at the replies.
[00:16:58]  And somebody makes an attack on Rex and Tim.
[00:17:03]  And it's this girl who got famous for eating raw butter and saying faggot.
[00:17:10]  Her name is Melanie.
[00:17:12]  And, you know, whatever.
[00:17:13]  I'm sure she's nice.
[00:17:15]  She's got her own little social media deal.
[00:17:17]  It's fine.
[00:17:19]  But I guess I think she's really close to Jeremy.
[00:17:24]  And so she goes and attacks Rex and Tim and says, oh, look at these leftists.
[00:17:31]  I'm just like, oh, yeah.
[00:17:35]  Yeah, Rex and Tim.
[00:17:36]  I mean, just hardcore leftists there.
[00:17:39]  I mean, those guys, wow.
[00:17:43]  So, it just shows you the ignorance level.
[00:17:45]  It shows you the unprofessional level of these types of people.
[00:17:51]  But here's what she said why I'm even talking about it.
[00:17:55]  So, she calls Rex and Tim leftists, which, of course, is obviously untrue.
[00:18:01]  So, somebody calls her out and says, Yeah, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
[00:18:06]  These two aren't leftists.
[00:18:09]  So, then she replies and she says, What is the exact quote?
[00:18:16]  I want to give you the exact quote here.
[00:18:20]  Because this isn't even necessarily about her.
[00:18:22]  This is about where this whole MAGA support team is at now.
[00:18:29]  And they don't mind lying to you.
[00:18:32]  She, oh, she says, so she calls Rex and Tim leftists.
[00:18:38]  Somebody says they're not.
[00:18:39]  And she says, well, I don't know anything about him.
[00:18:46]  So then why are you commenting?
[00:18:49]  What are you doing here?
[00:18:52]  Rex and Tim are leftists.
[00:18:55]  Excuse me.
[00:18:55]  Hi, they're actually not.
[00:18:56]  Oh, well, I don't really know anything about them.
[00:18:59]  Well, it shows because you just, you were just categorically wrong about what you said.
[00:19:04]  So, whatever.
[00:19:05]  This isn't about her.
[00:19:06]  I'm sure she's nice.
[00:19:07]  And I like Jeremy too.
[00:19:08]  It's good to debate people.
[00:19:09]  Okay.
[00:19:10]  It's good.
[00:19:10]  It's all good.
[00:19:11]  It all needs to happen.
[00:19:14]  Okay.
[00:19:15]  The point is this is where the MAGA media is at.
[00:19:21]  They really don't know anything other than support Trump.
[00:19:24]  That's it.
[00:19:26]  That's it.
[00:19:26]  And they have no problem lying to you.
[00:19:30]  Because they justify it in this Trump cult.
[00:19:32]  It's, hey, as long as it's in protection of Trump, as long as it protects the White House or it protects the narrative or, you know, it protects where I feel comfortable in politics, then they're okay.
[00:19:42]  They'll lie, they'll make stuff up, and they just don't care.
[00:19:49]  They just don't care.
[00:19:51]  And maybe, and I'm curious, and guys, you know what?
[00:19:54]  I'm kind of trying to, I'm going to be honest, I'm trying to avoid the news right now.
[00:19:57]  I got 30 minutes to low when Benjamin comes on.
[00:19:59]  I know I got news.
[00:20:00]  Do you guys mind?
[00:20:00]  I just, you know, I look at the news all damn day.
[00:20:05]  Can I just flow with it here for a minute?
[00:20:06]  Do you guys mind just a little stream of consciousness here?
[00:20:12]  So I'm trying to, you know, I'm trying to find the source of this.
[00:20:20]  You guys hate it, huh?
[00:20:22]  You guys in the chat hate it.
[00:20:25]  I'm genuinely curious.
[00:20:28]  I'm trying to discover the source of this.
[00:20:30]  And it's actually, you want to know where I went?
[00:20:33]  And I've got my Rush Limbaugh books here.
[00:20:37]  But the final Rush Limbaugh book.
[00:20:43]  And I'm actually doing some spring cleaning.
[00:20:44]  I found some of my Rush Limbaugh apparel and collectibles.
[00:20:50]  I've got some Rush Limbaugh stuff that'll probably be some pretty important collectibles.
[00:20:57]  But Rush said, Rush kind of talked about this, and I think he was a little ahead of his time.
[00:21:04]  So it was harder to do the true analysis since he was ahead of his time.
[00:21:09]  But he talked about how this new burgeoning social media landscape is going to allow people into the political media, into the news media that really have no professional training and have no business even being there.
[00:21:25]  Now, there's nothing you can do about it, they have every right to speak.
[00:21:29]  And they have, they can get the access to this platform and they should.
[00:21:32]  Nobody, nobody, I'm not telling you that they shouldn't have access or they shouldn't, you know, do their news.
[00:21:36]  That's fine.
[00:21:37]  They can do their content just like anybody else should be able to do their content.
[00:21:40]  But what Rush talked about was how eventually you would get to this point where it would kind of, it would kind of turn into just this like reality TV type of a situation where you're not even really thinking about what you're saying.
[00:22:00]  You're just saying it because you have to fill content.
[00:22:04]  And to me, that's what I'm seeing with this MAGA, this new MAGA media.
[00:22:11]  Okay.
[00:22:12]  Most of this new MAGA media, they don't have any professional training.
[00:22:15]  And I'm not like, this isn't me trying to high horse anybody.
[00:22:18]  Okay.
[00:22:19]  I'm not trying to high horse anybody.
[00:22:23]  Anybody can come in to do media and be good at it.
[00:22:26]  In fact, some of my biggest inspirations in media didn't necessarily have professional training.
[00:22:32]  I mean, Michael Savage came up.
[00:22:35]  Through, he was a doctor.
[00:22:37]  He studied botany and plants, and then somebody offered him a radio gig.
[00:22:42]  Rush Limbaugh kind of stumbled into his radio gig as well.
[00:22:48]  So I'm not, this isn't some high horse thing about do these people belong in the media?
[00:22:52]  If you got the ability, the talent, whatever, you can do it, then fine.

=== Media Training Reality (15:19) ===

[00:22:57]  I've kind of just come up this way.
[00:22:59]  I've been doing media since I was 15 years old in high school.
[00:23:04]  But I see the new MAGA media, and that's, I feel like it's just, let's just fill time.
[00:23:10]  Let's just, I just, I'm just going to comment on things I know nothing about.
[00:23:15]  I'm just going to say things about people that I know nothing about, and I really don't care.
[00:23:20]  As long as people, as long as I slop it up, and as long as people consume it, and I get my following, and I can, and I can get my pay, and I can secure my bag, I really don't care.
[00:23:32]  And that's where I feel like MAGA is at right now.
[00:23:34]  They don't, they don't have any, There's no anchor to the truth anymore.
[00:23:39]  There's no anchor to reality.
[00:23:40]  They don't care if they lie to you.
[00:23:42]  They don't care if they comment on things they know nothing about.
[00:23:47]  And even Caroline Levitt said this yesterday.
[00:23:51]  She had this, I guess it was like a town hall event with Erica Kirk.
[00:23:59]  And she said something that resonated with me.
[00:24:03]  And it's how I approach things.
[00:24:05]  And she said that this is true about Trump.
[00:24:06]  Maybe it is.
[00:24:08]  And she said, well, actually, she said she got this advice from Dana Perino, who was George Bush's press secretary.
[00:24:19]  And it was always be the most well read person in the room.
[00:24:23]  And I've always kind of felt that way as like more of a chip on my shoulder type thing when I first started doing this.
[00:24:32]  You know, when people call you a conspiracy theorist with all the other insults.
[00:24:38]  That they try to lob at you, you kind of get this chip on your shoulder of, no, I'm going to be the most well read person.
[00:24:46]  I'm going to know as much as I possibly can know.
[00:24:49]  And for me, that translated into the street interviews where I would own the libs, own the Trump protesters.
[00:24:56]  You guys know it.
[00:24:56]  You guys know all of that.
[00:24:57]  So that was like kind of my approach to everything.
[00:24:59]  That's where I'm at here today.
[00:25:02]  But there's a drive for knowledge and understanding.
[00:25:08]  Before there's a drive for, I'm going to go on air and talk.
[00:25:14]  And it seems like this is where this new MAGA media is.
[00:25:18]  It's just, there isn't, there's no real drive behind it.
[00:25:23]  There's support Trump no matter what.
[00:25:25]  And then it doesn't even matter what you say.
[00:25:30]  So, how can you even defend this stuff?
[00:25:31]  All right, I'll get to the news.
[00:25:33]  I'll get to the news.
[00:25:35]  I'll do it.
[00:25:36]  I know.
[00:25:36]  I know it's my job.
[00:25:37]  That's what you're here to do.
[00:25:38]  I'm just, it's so obnoxious.
[00:25:41]  It's just so obnoxious.
[00:25:44]  The news.
[00:25:46]  And I'm a news guy, I'm the anchor man.
[00:25:49]  I'm America's anchor man, and I'm sick of the news.
[00:25:51]  I can't even imagine what you guys are like.
[00:25:54]  At least I'm here for it.
[00:25:55]  You know, at least I can make it somewhat consumable, you know?
[00:25:59]  At least we can try to get close to the reality.
[00:26:02]  So, how can you defend this stuff?
[00:26:04]  How can you make sense of this stuff?
[00:26:06]  How can you defend this stuff?
[00:26:08]  This is where we're at with Trump.
[00:26:12]  And I think, you know, what maybe, maybe this plays a little bit of a percentage in why the MAGA media is so off base right now is because they're still kind of stuck in this like liberals are bad trap.
[00:26:30]  So it's like, as long as you're attacking liberals, then it's like everything is okay.
[00:26:35]  But because of that mindset, You now become the dog getting wagged by the tail, which I've warned about for years.
[00:26:43]  So that's what's happening too.
[00:26:44]  The new MAGA media is now the dog getting wagged by the tail.
[00:26:48]  No, Trump has given the left real ammo against him.
[00:26:52]  Trump has now given the liberals, the Democrats, legitimate ammo and attacks to use against him.
[00:27:00]  So if you haven't caught up to that, if you haven't realized that, if you're in denial of that, it's because you're not paying attention.
[00:27:08]  It's because you don't have the drive.
[00:27:11]  To actually know what's going on.
[00:27:14]  For you, it's just, hey, I just need to go on my social media, go on my podcast, whatever, and I just need to talk about how great Trump is and ignore everything else.
[00:27:24]  But here's an example.
[00:27:25]  I've got, I think I've got at least two of these today.
[00:27:29]  Trump in September on the campaign trail versus Trump earlier this week.
[00:27:35]  If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make childcare affordable?
[00:27:42]  And if so, what specific piece of legislation?
[00:27:46]  Will you advance?
[00:27:47]  Well, I would do that.
[00:27:48]  Child care is child care.
[00:27:50]  It's something you have to have it.
[00:27:53]  In this country, you have to have it.
[00:27:54]  We're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people.
[00:28:00]  And then we'll worry about the rest of the world.
[00:28:02]  Let's help other people.
[00:28:04]  But we're going to take care of our country first.
[00:28:06]  This is about America first.
[00:28:07]  We can't take care of day care.
[00:28:09]  We're a big country.
[00:28:10]  We have 50 states.
[00:28:11]  We have all these other people.
[00:28:12]  We're fighting wars.
[00:28:14]  We can't take care of day care.
[00:28:16]  You've got to let a state take care of day care, and they should pay for it, too.
[00:28:20]  They should pay.
[00:28:21]  They have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it.
[00:28:24]  And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up for it.
[00:28:27]  But it's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.
[00:28:34]  They can do it on a state basis.
[00:28:36]  You can't do it on a federal basis.
[00:28:37]  We have to take care of one thing military protection.
[00:28:40]  We have to guard the country.
[00:28:45]  So there you go.
[00:28:47]  And I mean, there's so much in that 70 seconds.
[00:28:52]  To break down, aside from the just complete reversal of policy.
[00:28:57]  I mean, the whole thing is a damn reversal.
[00:29:02]  There he is on the campaign.
[00:29:04]  That's what we voted for, by the way.
[00:29:07]  There he is on the campaign saying, Hey, it's going to be America first.
[00:29:10]  Hey, we're done spending all the money in the Middle East.
[00:29:13]  Hey, we're done with the regime change wars.
[00:29:15]  We're done with the forever wars.
[00:29:17]  We're done with all the foreign aid.
[00:29:18]  We're done with all the waste, fraud, and abuse.
[00:29:20]  It's time to make America great again.
[00:29:22]  It's time to put America first.
[00:29:23]  That's what we're going to do.
[00:29:25]  And people on the left and the right and the middle and common sense, independence, everybody said, Wow, this is refreshing.
[00:29:31]  I think he means it.
[00:29:32]  I'm going to vote for him.
[00:29:34]  Well, he didn't mean it.
[00:29:36]  So, is he lying then or is he lying now?
[00:29:38]  I mean, that is a total 180 on policy.
[00:29:43]  That is a total 180.
[00:29:45]  Donald Trump, from the campaign to now April 3rd in year two of his administration, has done a complete 180 on policy.
[00:30:00]  That is undeniable.
[00:30:03]  So, if you still want to support Trump because you support a man, Then fine, support Trump and he can raise your taxes 100% and he can put you in a draft and send you to war.
[00:30:12]  And you still support Trump because you support a man because you're in a cult of personality.
[00:30:18]  You support a man.
[00:30:19]  You don't stand on issues.
[00:30:20]  You don't stand on policies.
[00:30:22]  You don't stand on principles.
[00:30:23]  You don't stand on ethics.
[00:30:25]  You just stand on you support a man.
[00:30:28]  That's a cult.
[00:30:31]  So, how can you watch that 70 second clip and not say that he has done a complete 180 on policy?
[00:30:37]  And then you have to ask did he ever mean it?
[00:30:40]  Did he ever mean it?
[00:30:42]  Was it always a bait and switch?
[00:30:45]  Or, which is now becoming a fair talking point that I think we first said on this show, he just makes stuff up.
[00:30:57]  Donald Trump just makes stuff up.
[00:31:00]  He just talks.
[00:31:01]  He doesn't think about what he's saying.
[00:31:02]  He just talks and says whatever he thinks is right in the moment, and he doesn't even remember what he says anymore.
[00:31:06]  He just talks.
[00:31:07]  He just makes it up.
[00:31:08]  He just spews out of his mouth.
[00:31:14]  So then there's another one.
[00:31:18]  So there's your one flip flop.
[00:31:20]  Here's a shorter one for you.
[00:31:21]  Regime change was not our goal.
[00:31:24]  We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred.
[00:31:28]  But we also won regime change.
[00:31:30]  We have a regime change like nobody thought was possible.
[00:31:33]  Regime change was so ridiculous.
[00:31:42]  We're never doing regime change to, yep, we're doing regime change.
[00:31:48]  No more regime change wars.
[00:31:49]  Oh, this isn't a regime change war.
[00:31:51]  It's a regime change war.
[00:31:52]  We got the regime change.
[00:31:55]  How's it going, though?
[00:31:56]  How's it going?
[00:32:00]  He comes out.
[00:32:05]  He comes out on his primetime address and he says, We have destroyed Iran's military.
[00:32:17]  They have no military left.
[00:32:19]  It's been totally.
[00:32:21]  Annihilated.
[00:32:22]  They have no missiles.
[00:32:24]  They have no capacity to launch missiles, even if they had them.
[00:32:28]  No launch pads, no military, nothing.
[00:32:30]  Totally decimated for us.
[00:32:32]  We've decimated Iran.
[00:32:35]  Oh, okay.
[00:32:36]  And then you look back over at the war, and just in the last 24 hours, Iran has hit Israel with 30, 40 missiles.
[00:32:46]  I mean, I can't count them, you know, flying out of the sky left and right.
[00:32:50]  So Israel is still getting pummeled by Iranian missiles.
[00:32:54]  Immediately after Trump says they have no missiles and they have no capacity to launch missiles, Iran starts hitting Israel with missiles.
[00:33:02]  And now they've downed two of our jets.
[00:33:07]  Now we have two jets downed.
[00:33:11]  So, oh, they have no missiles.
[00:33:13]  They have no military capacity.
[00:33:14]  They're totally annihilated.
[00:33:16]  And now they're downing our jets.
[00:33:21]  So, whatever.
[00:33:21]  I guess Trump just wants to lie to the American people.
[00:33:24]  And I guess Trump supporters don't mind being lied to.
[00:33:32]  Now, there's two jets.
[00:33:35]  The latest is two jets.
[00:33:38]  This is the last I had on this story.
[00:33:40]  One U.S. pilot rescued after fighter jet downed in Iran.
[00:33:46]  Search continues for second pilot.
[00:33:48]  And then there was some debate over who's actually engaging in the search for these pilots.
[00:33:58]  And the best I can understand is that.
[00:34:03]  Originally, what was going to happen was Israel was going to bomb the hell out of Iran.
[00:34:09]  And then the United States says, Hey, can you help us search for these missing pilots?
[00:34:16]  And Israel said, No, we're going to bomb them.
[00:34:18]  We're going to blow them up if they're there.
[00:34:20]  We already got our bomb ready to go here.
[00:34:23]  We're going in and bombing.
[00:34:25]  And then America was able to at least get Israel to wait until the search and rescue mission was over.
[00:34:31]  So Israel was just going to blow our guy up and say, Who cares?
[00:34:34]  And I don't, I mean, that's pretty par for the course for them.
[00:34:39]  They don't seem to be too concerned with who they kill or why or when or how.
[00:34:44]  So that seems to be the story.
[00:34:46]  Maybe Israel ended up engaging in the search and rescue too.
[00:34:49]  There's been two jets down.
[00:34:52]  Apparently, choppers, helicopters have also been hit.
[00:34:58]  A lot of chaos and confusion.
[00:34:59]  Is this the battle over Karg Island or what is going on?
[00:35:02]  So it's a mess, is what it is.
[00:35:06]  It's a mess, it's a nightmare.
[00:35:08]  And then there's other reports, and these are not my reports.
[00:35:13]  These are not my sources.
[00:35:16]  It's people that I would say generally I trust, generally gets the stories right.
[00:35:22]  But, you know, they're getting people that are reporting to them off record that there are more than 13 deaths.
[00:35:33]  The official number is 13 Americans have died in this war.
[00:35:38]  There are reports that that number might be closer to 100.
[00:35:42]  Now, I don't know.
[00:35:44]  These are not my sources.
[00:35:46]  This is just what other people in the media are saying.
[00:35:48]  We'll see.
[00:35:48]  I don't think anybody would be surprised if that's true.
[00:35:52]  But you see this situation now where it looks like they might be gearing up for a ground invasion this weekend or gearing up for something on Cork Island.
[00:36:01]  Two jets down, two choppers hit.
[00:36:03]  Is this like the opening phases of that?
[00:36:06]  And if this is what's going on in this one little skirmish, I don't think it would be too surprising.
[00:36:13]  If there are more than 13 deaths, I don't think anybody would be too shocked by that.
[00:36:17]  And of course, this is the big admission.
[00:36:23]  This is the big admission.
[00:36:25]  Why wouldn't they be telling us about these deaths?
[00:36:30]  Why wouldn't the administration, why wouldn't the White House, why wouldn't they want to be honest about these deaths?
[00:36:37]  Isn't the answer obvious?
[00:36:39]  Because this war is so unpopular and Donald Trump is such a liar when it comes to this war.
[00:36:46]  That it's already bad on its face.
[00:36:50]  Before you even get into the details of the war or the cost of this war, the fact that we are in this war is already so unpopular that you don't even want to get into the details if you're the Trump administration because none of it's good.
[00:37:04]  You can't even have any good details.
[00:37:07]  I mean, how many times has Trump declared victory?
[00:37:10]  It doesn't increase popularity for the war.
[00:37:14]  Every time Trump finds a microphone to declare victory, how many times do you think Trump has declared victory?
[00:37:18]  A hundred times?
[00:37:23]  Every time Trump declares victory, his approval rating goes down.
[00:37:26]  Every time Trump declares victory, the support for the war goes down.
[00:37:31]  So there's nothing he can even say or do to get support for this war.
[00:37:38]  Nothing is working.
[00:37:39]  Oh, everyone in Iran is bad.
[00:37:41]  Doesn't work.
[00:37:41]  Iran has nuclear weapons.
[00:37:43]  Doesn't work.
[00:37:44]  Don't you know you need to hate Muslims?
[00:37:46]  Doesn't work.
[00:37:47]  We've won the war.
[00:37:48]  Doesn't work.
[00:37:50]  We're winning on energy and oil.
[00:37:52]  Doesn't work.
[00:37:53]  Nothing works.
[00:37:56]  So, oh, more than 13 are dead?
[00:38:01]  Yeah, we don't want the public to get that information.
[00:38:03]  So, think about that.
[00:38:06]  If they are holding back the amount of dead, which I don't think would surprise anybody, that's the big admission that they know this war is unpopular.

=== Corrupt Administration Exposed (02:40) ===

[00:38:17]  They know that they've been lying through every phase of this war, and they can't afford for you to know the truth.
[00:38:27]  The administration is so unpopular.
[00:38:29]  The Republicans are in such a bad standing right now ahead of the midterms.
[00:38:34]  Trump's approval rating is a disaster.
[00:38:36]  This is the most unpopular war in modern American history, maybe ever when it's all said and done.
[00:38:43]  And so they know all this.
[00:38:44]  So they're sitting back and they're saying, they're consciously saying to themselves, we can't let America know the truth about this war.
[00:38:53]  We have to lie about this war.
[00:38:54]  We have to cover up the truth about this war because it's already so unpopular that.
[00:38:58]  Even if we declare victory and say all these other things, nothing is working.
[00:39:04]  And I guess when you reach these conclusions through the series of events that we've had here, I mean, folks, there's no other way to put it.
[00:39:15]  This is a corrupt administration, and everyone involved in it is corrupt.
[00:39:20]  They are lying war pigs.
[00:39:22]  They are corrupt, and they're evil.
[00:39:27]  It is outright evil.
[00:39:28]  This is an evil administration.
[00:39:30]  This is a corrupt administration.
[00:39:32]  And if you want to try to measure it, it's like, oh, well, you know, but Biden, but Biden, fine, do your measurements.
[00:39:39]  I don't care.
[00:39:39]  I'm not here to measure this administration against Biden.
[00:39:43]  I shouldn't have to measure this administration against Biden.
[00:39:46]  I should measure this administration against what we voted for.
[00:39:50]  I should measure this administration based off of what the truth is and what they're telling us.
[00:39:55]  I should be basing this administration off of the results that we are or are not getting.
[00:40:04]  But that's what it is.
[00:40:05]  So if you say this administration is corrupt, this administration is lying, this administration is evil, they can't really deny it.
[00:40:13]  So they just say, yeah, but Biden this, but Obama this.
[00:40:18]  So you've already lost the debate.
[00:40:19]  You've already admitted this is an evil administration.
[00:40:21]  You've already admitted this is a corrupt administration.
[00:40:24]  You won't say it out loud because you're too big of a coward.
[00:40:27]  So instead, you'll try to get into these measuring contests like, well, it's not Biden.
[00:40:32]  And that's admitting defeat.
[00:40:35]  And so, what message do the Republicans have for their voters ahead of the midterms?
[00:40:42]  This is former Democrat, now Republican, Representative Jeff Van Drew.
[00:40:47]  Now, I will just say before we play this this clip is a little bit out of context.
[00:40:52]  I'm going to give you the context, but nonetheless, this is the Republicans' message ahead of the midterms.

=== Admitting Defeat (09:56) ===

[00:40:57]  The list goes on and on of all the things.
[00:41:00]  Our gas tax automatically increases in New Jersey.
[00:41:03]  And by the way, so do our tolls and our fees automatically increase.
[00:41:08]  All that.
[00:41:08]  Now we're going to have on top of that.
[00:41:10]  And I'm talking to my folks in New Jersey, my state.
[00:41:13]  You better just keep breaking your back and working hard.
[00:41:16]  Maybe get yet another job.
[00:41:19]  The list goes on and on of all the things.
[00:41:21]  Our gas tax.
[00:41:23]  Get another job.
[00:41:26]  By the way, Fox News headline NATO allies push against Trump on Iran war.
[00:41:32]  Oh.
[00:41:34]  Oh.
[00:41:35]  I guess some of you guys are shocked by that, huh?
[00:41:38]  Guess you don't listen to the Owen report.
[00:41:42]  Get another job.
[00:41:43]  Now, the context that people are saying is taken out of context.
[00:41:48]  He's talking about what's happening in New Jersey with the Democrats raising taxes.
[00:41:52]  And he's basically saying if you live in New Jersey with these new Democrat taxes, you're going to have to get another job.
[00:41:59]  Now, I got another series of videos today.
[00:42:02]  I had them yesterday.
[00:42:03]  I have them today.
[00:42:04]  We probably won't play them.
[00:42:05]  Maybe we'll play one or two.
[00:42:07]  But it's the same videos where you have, it's mostly young Americans.
[00:42:13]  And they're talking about how hard it is financially to get by.
[00:42:19]  I listen to this stuff and I think about it, obviously, from my perspective as a 36 year old.
[00:42:27]  And I'm thinking, yeah, okay, I remember, you know, I remember being in college.
[00:42:32]  I remember being a young professional and it was tough to get by.
[00:42:38]  I had times where I was working 60, 70 hours a week.
[00:42:42]  I think I was probably lucky because I was at least doing jobs that I liked.
[00:42:50]  I enjoyed my work.
[00:42:50]  I didn't mind working.
[00:42:52]  I wanted to work as much as possible.
[00:42:55]  When I was doing five in the morning to three in the afternoon, that was my.
[00:43:03]  Actually, some days it was six in the afternoon.
[00:43:06]  I was doing five in the morning to six in the afternoon producing radio for like an entire year.
[00:43:14]  And then I would go work football games.
[00:43:15]  I'd have to be at the dome at five.
[00:43:18]  The point is, I enjoyed my work.
[00:43:19]  So if you don't enjoy your work and you're working 50, 60 plus hours a week, you know, that takes a toll.
[00:43:27]  But I see these young kids, they're talking about how, like, yeah, okay, I had roommates till I was probably 25.
[00:43:35]  I always had a roommate.
[00:43:36]  I couldn't afford to live on my own.
[00:43:38]  So at least, you know, how I wanted to live or where I wanted to live.
[00:43:41]  So I always had roommates till I was, I think, 25.
[00:43:46]  And that was when, and this is where it gets me.
[00:43:49]  That was when rent was still low.
[00:43:54]  Like, we were renting a house.
[00:43:55]  I lived in a house in St. Louis for about four years before I moved to Austin.
[00:43:59]  It was technically a two bedroom house, but we had a basement bedroom.
[00:44:03]  So it was kind of more, it was a three bedroom essentially.
[00:44:05]  We had three people living there most of the time.
[00:44:08]  And the rent on that house was like, it was a small house, wasn't the nicest house, but it was fine.
[00:44:13]  The rent on that house was like $950 a month.
[00:44:17]  Okay?
[00:44:18]  $950 a month.
[00:44:19]  Now I see these videos, they're breaking down their financials.
[00:44:22]  They're like, my rent is $2,500 a month.
[00:44:24]  I'm like, Yeah, how do you afford that?
[00:44:28]  And I'm sitting here saying, where do you get it?
[00:44:34]  It's not like you can create more time.
[00:44:41]  If our rent was $2,500 a month when I was living at this house in St. Louis, by the way, one of the guys that comments here, old friend, Alex McCarthy, high school friend, he lived at that house with me for about a year.
[00:44:57]  If our rent was $2,500 a month, I don't even know what I would do.
[00:45:01]  There was no more capacity to work, there was no more hours in the day, there were no more jobs to work.
[00:45:06]  And so, how is this a winning message?
[00:45:10]  Hey, your gas prices are going up.
[00:45:12]  Your taxes are going up.
[00:45:14]  The cost of energy, everything is still going up.
[00:45:18]  And then what are you going to do?
[00:45:19]  Oh, well, go get another job.
[00:45:20]  There are no other jobs.
[00:45:21]  I'm already working all day and night.
[00:45:25]  What if you got kids?
[00:45:29]  This is the reality for a very large portion of the country.
[00:45:33]  I don't know if you would say it's a majority of the country living paycheck to paycheck, but it's getting closer to it.
[00:45:40]  It's getting closer.
[00:45:42]  And then Trump says, sorry, we can't help you.
[00:45:44]  We've got to go to war.
[00:45:45]  And also, we're the safest country ever, but we need $1.5 trillion in defense.
[00:45:50]  And no more wars, no more regime change wars, no more wars in the Middle East.
[00:45:54]  It was all a waste of money.
[00:45:54]  But by the way, I'm going to get involved in a regime change war in the Middle East, and it's going to cost us a bunch of money too.
[00:46:00]  So what are they going to say?
[00:46:03]  Oh, look.
[00:46:04]  And maybe this is what they're going to do.
[00:46:06]  Oh, look.
[00:46:08]  Just join the military.
[00:46:11]  Just join the military.
[00:46:13]  We'll give you a nice bonus.
[00:46:14]  We'll give you a nice salary.
[00:46:17]  It'll go right into your bank account.
[00:46:18]  You're not going to be paying anything because in the military, everything is going to be taken care of.
[00:46:22]  And by the way, hey, we're eating lobster.
[00:46:26]  We got lobster, steak, dinners, you know?
[00:46:32]  I mean, come on, man.
[00:46:33]  Join the military.
[00:46:34]  Come fight.
[00:46:36]  Come join the military to fight for the foreign and special interests.
[00:46:39]  That's what your country is now.
[00:46:41]  So I know you can't afford to live.
[00:46:43]  You can't even, you're lucky if you can take your family on a vacation.
[00:46:47]  So just join the military.
[00:46:48]  You know, everything's war now.
[00:46:50]  Everything's war for special interests.
[00:46:52]  Everything's war for foreign interests.
[00:46:53]  You can't afford to live in America.
[00:46:55]  So just join the military.
[00:46:56]  Get some lobster, get some steak.
[00:47:00]  Is that where all of this is going?
[00:47:01]  Now, they're going to make this big claim about these jobs numbers.
[00:47:06]  And you're probably already seeing some of this.
[00:47:09]  These are all foreign workers, folks.
[00:47:12]  These are all the migrants that Trump is accepting as part of his deal to get in office.
[00:47:17]  Foreign born employment is now higher than when Trump took office.
[00:47:21]  So we also saw the surge under Biden, and then it went back down, and now it's going back up.
[00:47:27]  So all these jobs that the Trump administration is talking about, it's all foreign workers.
[00:47:33]  And it's even Trump's friends.
[00:47:35]  It's even the people Trump's cutting deals with.
[00:47:38]  Larry Ellison, Oracle, outrage as Oracle files thousands of foreign worker requests amid layoff bloodbath.
[00:47:47]  So these are all the Trump, this is all Trump's swamp now.
[00:47:51]  These are all the big Trump people now.
[00:47:53]  These are all the people that Trump works with now.
[00:47:55]  These are all the Trump friends now.
[00:47:56]  He's abandoned you.
[00:47:58]  He works for the billionaires now.
[00:48:01]  He works for the 1% now.
[00:48:02]  He doesn't work for you.
[00:48:04]  He works for the highest bidder, and it's not you.
[00:48:07]  And they're bragging about these jobs numbers.
[00:48:10]  They're all going to foreign workers.
[00:48:14]  So, I'm not going to do this.
[00:48:15]  I'm going to take the first break.
[00:48:16]  I'm going to get Owen Benjamin on.
[00:48:18]  But this is the type of stuff, folks.
[00:48:20]  We'll play one here as we're lining up for the first break.
[00:48:24]  But I've got, I mean, these are dozens of videos coming across my feed every day.
[00:48:28]  This is what it's like for the average American.
[00:48:30]  They are sick of hearing about the war, they can barely afford their own bills.
[00:48:34]  If anyone out there is wondering how Americans are doing poorly, we are doing poorly.
[00:48:38]  Yesterday, I woke up to an email from my landlord saying, Hey, I'm raising your rent.
[00:48:41]  Why?
[00:48:42]  No fucking reason.
[00:48:43]  We already pay all of the utilities ourselves, that is not included in the rent.
[00:48:46]  So, we pay for electricity and we pay for water and we pay for natural gas to heat our home.
[00:48:49]  And that bill in particular has fucking skyrocketed this year.
[00:48:53]  Every single month this winter, it was over $600.
[00:48:56]  And we do not turn the heat on.
[00:48:58]  We just turn it so that we can fucking survive.
[00:49:00]  We do not turn it above like 60.
[00:49:02]  So, we're fucking freezing in the house all fucking winter.
[00:49:04]  Oh, and also, I woke up this morning to an email from my health insurance being like, thanks for your payment.
[00:49:08]  It was deducted automatically, except this time the payment was $400 more than it was last month.
[00:49:13]  Sorry, what's going on?
[00:49:14]  So, I called the health insurance company and I was like, why did this happen?
[00:49:17]  And they said, oh, well, the tax premium expired.
[00:49:20]  And I said, Tell me why that happened.
[00:49:22]  Is that because of federal budget cuts?
[00:49:24]  Is that because of the New York State budget?
[00:49:26]  Where did that come from?
[00:49:26]  And they said, We don't know.
[00:49:27]  You have to call the New York State Department of Health.
[00:49:29]  And so I called the New York State Department of Health.
[00:49:31]  And it was just whole fucking rigmarole because they intentionally make it so opaque that you just have to spend all of your fucking time and energy just navigating this fuck ass bureaucracy and trying not to get fucked more than they're already fucking you.
[00:49:43]  I got my new IUD yesterday.
[00:49:45]  So I've been fucking hugging this heating pad all day and eating Advil like it's breakfast cereal.
[00:49:50]  Meanwhile, I don't even know how much that bill is going to be.
[00:49:53]  I don't know how much that procedure cost because I tried to find out before I got it.
[00:49:56]  I called my health insurance company and I was like, How much is it going to be?
[00:49:59]  And they were like, We don't know.
[00:50:00]  You have to call the doctor.
[00:50:00]  And so I called the doctor and I was like, How much is it going to be?
[00:50:02]  And they were like, We don't know.
[00:50:03]  You have to call your insurance.
[00:50:04]  And so nobody could give me an answer.
[00:50:06]  And I was like, Well, I need the fucking IUD because I cannot afford to have children.
[00:50:10]  Obviously, meanwhile, the fucking psychos over at CPAC are like, Hey, you dumb bitches, leave the workforce.
[00:50:15]  Better yet, never join the workforce and shack up with the first chud you meet in high school and start popping out babies that we know that you cannot afford because they're all fucking psycho Christian nationalists.
[00:50:26]  The experience of being a working class American is to just be squeezed for every single dollar that you have at every turn.
[00:50:33]  And you're just wave your arm and you just run into another fee that you were supposed to pay.
[00:50:38]  And where does that money go?
[00:50:39]  Straight to the fucking top, straight to the fucking billionaires who do not create jobs.
[00:50:43]  In fact, they keep slashing jobs just to invest in fucking AI data centers.
[00:50:48]  I don't understand how we're not out in the streets all the time.
[00:50:53]  You know what?

=== Insurance and IUDs (05:42) ===

[00:50:54]  I will just say this.
[00:50:58]  It's sad.
[00:51:00]  And I get it.
[00:51:01]  I get it.
[00:51:02]  But I'd say it's sad that that's how people think about kids as just a financial burden, as if there's nothing else that a child can bring to your life.
[00:51:14]  It's really sad.
[00:51:14]  So I would say, don't let that stop you from having kids.
[00:51:17]  I would just say that.
[00:51:18]  That's really a tragedy.
[00:51:19]  But the rest of that, if nothing else, is pretty damn funny.
[00:51:22]  All right.
[00:51:24]  Owen Benjamin coming up, other side of this break.
[00:51:26]  We're going to have some fun.
[00:51:28]  You're listening to The Owen Report on the Wynn Network.
[00:51:32]  Back to
[00:52:55]  the show with your favorite talk show host, Tits McGee.
[00:53:01]  That's right.
[00:53:03]  Tits McGee here on a Friday.
[00:53:06]  Might as well be.
[00:53:10]  Got Tits McGee for a president.
[00:53:12]  You got Tits McGee for a press secretary.
[00:53:14]  You got Tits McGee, Christy Noem's husband.
[00:53:18]  Why not have Tits McGee as a talk show host, huh?
[00:53:21]  Tits McGee Central.
[00:53:23]  All right, second hour here of the Owen Report.
[00:53:26]  We are joined by another O.
[00:53:28]  I can't hear you.
[00:53:29]  I can't hear you.
[00:53:30]  He's got his own stream.
[00:53:31]  Check one, check two.
[00:53:32]  I've got you loud and clear, buddy.
[00:53:34]  You've got your own stream.
[00:53:36]  Can you hear me?
[00:53:36]  I can't hear you.
[00:53:37]  Here, I'll fix that right now.
[00:53:38]  How about now?
[00:53:39]  Can you hear me now?
[00:53:42]  Hang on one second.
[00:53:43]  One second.
[00:53:43]  I can't.
[00:53:46]  Audio.
[00:53:52]  We're just going to stare at the beauty of your background right now.
[00:53:55]  This is a live background.
[00:53:58]  Nothing, nothing.
[00:54:03]  I don't like that.
[00:54:06]  I don't like that at all.
[00:54:11]  I can hear you.
[00:54:12]  I can't hear you.
[00:54:14]  There's zero audio.
[00:54:19]  Can you guys hear Owen?
[00:54:21]  Can you guys hear Owen right now?
[00:54:22]  Hey, let me try something.
[00:54:24]  Let me see if I can just use computer.
[00:54:32]  Just look at the stunning beauty of that mountain behind him and that stream.
[00:54:37]  At any point now, he might just leap out of the frame and into the river.
[00:54:44]  Hello, hello.
[00:54:45]  Check one, check two.
[00:54:46]  Can you hear me?
[00:54:47]  We've got you.
[00:54:48]  We've had you the whole time.
[00:54:55]  You got me now?
[00:54:56]  Yeah, I put you through my computer.
[00:54:58]  So my audio is not going to be as buttery as with a microphone, but.
[00:55:05]  If you want to butter it up, we'll sit here and look at the splendor behind you as we butter this deal up.
[00:55:11]  I'm in no rush.
[00:55:12]  It's a Friday, and this whole administration is a joke.
[00:55:17]  We can butter it up.
[00:55:18]  So we're just having fun right now.
[00:55:20]  We're enjoying the splendor.
[00:55:21]  Actually, the stream behind you in the mountains looks so great that I don't even mind.
[00:55:25]  Sweet.
[00:55:26]  All right, let me try it.
[00:55:27]  Can you hear me now?
[00:55:33]  Now we lost him.
[00:55:35]  Now I get him.
[00:55:37]  Oh, this is fun.
[00:55:38]  This is great content right here.
[00:55:41]  This is as good as it gets right here.
[00:55:46]  Now we can't hear anything.
[00:55:48]  Now we don't even get a taste of butter.
[00:55:53]  Nothing.
[00:55:54]  Now I've got nothing.
[00:55:59]  What's going on?
[00:56:00]  I'm going to have a Dan Bongino crash out.
[00:56:03]  Just get ready.
[00:56:06]  What was I getting at?
[00:56:09]  He's going to rejoin.
[00:56:10]  I'm going to have a Dan Bongino crash out.
[00:56:13]  That's what I'm going to do.
[00:56:14]  I think he's faking it.
[00:56:15]  I think he's faking it because he wants to go fishing.
[00:56:19]  He wants to go churn butter and fish.
[00:56:22]  So he's pretending like he can't hear me.
[00:56:25]  I'm not buying it.
[00:56:30]  Let's see what happens.
[00:56:33]  Take a drink.

=== Catholic Church Corruption (02:56) ===

[00:56:36]  Are you guys fasting today?
[00:56:40]  I'm fasting today.
[00:56:44]  I'm hoping I don't get too hangry before the end of the show, but we are fasting.
[00:56:51]  All right.
[00:56:53]  Anyone else fasting today?
[00:56:56]  You should be.
[00:56:57]  Fasting is good for you, by the way.
[00:57:00]  Fasting is really good for you, really healthy for you, beyond just the religious angle on Good Friday or this weekend.
[00:57:13]  So try it if you've never done it.
[00:57:16]  You'll lose a bunch of weight.
[00:57:18]  You'll trim down.
[00:57:20]  You'll lean out.
[00:57:22]  Telling you.
[00:57:25]  I'm telling you.
[00:57:26]  You know, I was born and raised Catholic.
[00:57:31]  I can't claim to be the most faithful Catholic.
[00:57:34]  I've kind of, you know, I've not gone to Catholic church, Catholic mass, rather, in a long time.
[00:57:43]  But I'm actually, I'm pretty proud of what's going on right now.
[00:57:47]  In the Catholic Church, it seems to be the most outspoken sect of Christianity against the evil on this planet right now.
[00:57:56]  And I know that the new Pope is a bit controversial.
[00:57:58]  I like him.
[00:57:59]  You know, the Pope's always going to be controversial, he's always going to say things you don't like.
[00:58:02]  I like the new Pope.
[00:58:05]  I'm not saying I agree with everything, but generally speaking, I think I like him.
[00:58:09]  So Benjamin's just gone.
[00:58:10]  He's just out.
[00:58:10]  Is that the deal now?
[00:58:14]  What is going on?
[00:58:17]  Let's see.
[00:58:32]  What else do we have?
[00:58:33]  The creepy stuff at the Vatican.
[00:58:35]  I'm not saying the Catholic Church doesn't have its problems.
[00:58:37]  Don't get me wrong.
[00:58:40]  I'm not saying the Catholic Church doesn't have its problems.
[00:58:42]  I'm not saying the Vatican doesn't have its problems.
[00:58:45]  The corruption, the pedophilia, the harboring and keeping the history of humanity, the history of Earth.
[00:58:57]  So don't get me wrong here.
[00:58:58]  This is not some glowing endorsement of the Catholic Church.
[00:59:01]  I'm just saying it's, I'm, you know, I'm proud of what I'm seeing from Catholics.
[00:59:08]  I could, you know, I think I could say that of all the different Christian sects, it seems to be the one that is standing against evil and this war and the corruption in DC louder than anybody.
[00:59:25]  I mean, you got Paula White up here, just totally sacrilegious.

=== Jewish Hypocrisy Jokes (13:16) ===

[00:59:33]  You got all of these big churches that just want you to convert to Zionism.
[00:59:40]  And work for Israel.
[00:59:41]  I'm not down with that.
[00:59:41]  All right, Owen.
[00:59:43]  All right, we got you now.
[00:59:44]  Just go with the computer audio.
[00:59:45]  It doesn't matter.
[00:59:47]  Can you hear me now?
[00:59:48]  Yeah, we can hear you.
[00:59:49]  Can you hear us?
[00:59:50]  Very well.
[00:59:51]  Then that's all that matters.
[00:59:52]  That's all.
[00:59:53]  It was a struggle.
[00:59:54]  It was like climbing that mountain behind you to get this done.
[00:59:57]  But you know what?
[00:59:58]  Good things require patience, Owen.
[01:00:00]  That's very true.
[01:00:01]  I agree completely.
[01:00:02]  So, you know what?
[01:00:03]  Here's what I want to do I've got some fun stuff on the docket for us today.
[01:00:07]  Actually, you probably didn't know this.
[01:00:09]  I actually, I also have your book right here.
[01:00:11]  Look at that.
[01:00:13]  You probably didn't even know that.
[01:00:15]  We didn't even mention your book when I asked you to come on.
[01:00:17]  You didn't even bring up your book.
[01:00:18]  I do have it.
[01:00:19]  We can get to that in a second.
[01:00:20]  Here's what I want to ask you You seemed to be a bit ahead of the curve as far as you kind of took, you know, you were always a comedian and a writer.
[01:00:33]  You kind of would do some political stuff.
[01:00:35]  Your audience, everybody was kind of sucked into the gravity of politics in the first Trump run.
[01:00:41]  And then with COVID and everything else, it was like this force of gravity.
[01:00:45]  Everybody kind of got sucked into it.
[01:00:48]  And you kind of cut ties with that a couple of years ago and just said, hey, look, my angle now is just funny.
[01:00:56]  My angle now is just nothing is serious, everything is funny.
[01:01:00]  And, you know, obviously your comedic background, it was kind of probably natural for you to do that.
[01:01:06]  I still got to do the news every day.
[01:01:07]  That's what I do.
[01:01:08]  But I'm like, now I'm looking at you and I'm saying, well, that was kind of ahead of the curve.
[01:01:14]  So, my question, I guess, is did you anticipate that the second Trump administration would be such a joke?
[01:01:21]  Are you surprised at what a disaster MAGA has become?
[01:01:25]  Or is it just all in stride for you because you realize the whole thing is a clown show years ago?
[01:01:31]  Yeah, I think it's probably the latter because I started looking at the nature of government itself and what.
[01:01:38]  It is, you know, the first principles.
[01:01:41]  And that's why I wrote the book, How to Slay a Wizard.
[01:01:43]  It's basically how spells work and how, you know, mind control and stuff like that actually works.
[01:01:51]  And it's all about people that give up their authority and people that almost kind of need to be managed.
[01:01:57]  They supply the system for that.
[01:02:00]  And it really is.
[01:02:01]  And I didn't want to be a customer anymore, you know, because what I had seen, you know, my journey started with the trans kid thing.
[01:02:09]  Where, when I saw people saying that it was hate to go against putting an eight year old on block hormone blockers, and then when I'm making fun of Bruce Jenner and comedians that I've been in their weddings, like we've done Comedy Central specials together, like I know the jokes that they do, I know how they think.
[01:02:27]  And for them to pretend that I was a man of hate, I was like, there's something else is going on here.
[01:02:34]  And so I realized that the best I could do for my family, for myself, for anybody is just to do my job well.
[01:02:43]  And have no sacred cows.
[01:02:44]  And so there's no identity I won't make fun of.
[01:02:49]  And that's why I was really ahead of the curve with like quote unquote Jews and stuff like that.
[01:02:53]  It's not even that I necessarily have this big axe to grind with Jews.
[01:02:58]  I just don't leave anyone out.
[01:03:01]  It's like I'll analyze someone's identity and make fun of it.
[01:03:05]  And that allows me, I call it jester's privilege, where that allows me to do the jokes.
[01:03:11]  And there's no bad words.
[01:03:13]  Like there's no words that are off limits because it's kind of like saying, Telling a painter that he can't use a color.
[01:03:18]  You know, it's like human consciousness and intention is everything, and a word can't be good or bad, you know?
[01:03:26]  Well, that depends on who you ask, I guess.
[01:03:29]  Some people would tell you that some words are bad.
[01:03:32]  Some people on the right now, by the way, I don't know if you've noticed the right has gone majorly woke in the last year, but we can talk about that if you want.
[01:03:40]  It seems though, you know, you talk about, well, you were ahead of the Jewish jokes or however you put it.
[01:03:47]  But hasn't that always kind of been like that's always kind of been an understanding?
[01:03:51]  And you look at maybe one of the most, or maybe the two most famous Jewish comics, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld.
[01:04:00]  You know, they always wrote that into Seinfeld, they always wrote that into Kirby or Enthusiasm, like the joke of like, hey, the Jews are kind of off limit, but like we're going to make Jewish jokes, but then we're going to remind everybody how that's also off limits.
[01:04:13]  So has that always been like the heaviest one?
[01:04:16]  And then obviously, like the trans stuff kind of emerged in the last five to 10 years.
[01:04:21]  But has that kind of been the one realm where it was like, as a comedian, it was like, okay, this is where I'm going to maybe push the most buttons.
[01:04:29]  Yeah, I think because right now it appears that we're being ruled by wizards.
[01:04:34]  And that's all, I mean, what you just described is how you get dominance over someone you put it in plain sight and you create the cognitive dissonance.
[01:04:45]  And that causes this confusion that allows programming to be inserted inside somebody.
[01:04:50]  Like, that's not, you know, like Seinfeld can do a whole thing about how sneaky and shady George is and how they're always up to these shenanigans and they're putting the poor soup Nazi out of business, even though he was running a very.
[01:05:02]  Like he was a good guy, you know, that was like he was, and they all missed the soup when he was gone.
[01:05:07]  They all missed the soup, yeah.
[01:05:09]  And and he just wanted basic rules to be followed while people waited for the soup.
[01:05:14]  And these four psychopaths, these childless psychos, they couldn't tolerate any rules, and so they had to destroy his life, cancel them, and ruin them, and all that.
[01:05:25]  And the irony about Jewish culture is, in my opinion, it's just very feminine, it's almost like they're always shit testing, where you know.
[01:05:34]  It's almost like they're like a girl trying to get you to do something and they want you to say no.
[01:05:39]  Almost, it's like bomber, and bomber, and bomber, and like they want you to be like, No, you don't know what the hell you're talking about, that'll ruin everything.
[01:05:49]  And then they're like, Oh, man, this is why I love you.
[01:05:51]  This is why I need such a strong man in my life.
[01:05:54]  And if you go with what they want, it'll ruin them.
[01:05:58]  It's like they're the most self destructive culture on the planet.
[01:06:01]  Yeah, there is something to that, and I don't want to go into that realm too much with you today because I have some lighter stuff.
[01:06:08]  That I want to talk about, but I do lighter.
[01:06:11]  But that's my advice to like, I don't have any hatred.
[01:06:14]  It's like, this is my advice to survive.
[01:06:17]  It's like, you don't go full, it's almost like you got a buddy that's a recovering alcoholic and he's just always wants to, he's like, let's just go, let's go to Vegas, man.
[01:06:26]  Let's go to Vegas.
[01:06:27]  It's like, it's a bad call, man.
[01:06:29]  I'm telling you, you don't want to go to Vegas.
[01:06:31]  You know, you're, it's an act of love to resist certain tendencies, you know?
[01:06:37]  Yeah.
[01:06:38]  Well, and I think too, I said it in a very serious broadcast over a year ago now.
[01:06:44]  And this is when it was kind of getting really heavy.
[01:06:46]  And I said, look, because this is when the debate started to emerge on the right over Israel.
[01:06:53]  And I said, look, if you really care about Israel, because there was this big pressure campaign, like, oh, you know, you need to care about Israel, whatever.
[01:07:01]  And it just hit me from like kind of a future site perspective.
[01:07:04]  I said, look, if you really care about Israel, like if that's your big ideology here for whatever reason to care about Israel.
[01:07:11]  Then you have to understand that where we're going foreign policy wise is going to destroy Israel.
[01:07:17]  Like, destroy Israel.
[01:07:18]  Or even if you want to get more personal, if you care about Jews or you have exactly you are Jewish, like obviously now we've all seen it play out.
[01:07:27]  But I was saying at the time, it's like, don't you, this is obviously where it's going to go.
[01:07:30]  There's going to be more hatred of Jews, there's going to be more hatred of Israel.
[01:07:33]  Like, that's the only direction this thing goes.
[01:07:35]  I don't care how many times you bomb Iran or Gaza or the West Bank, I don't care, you know, whatever it is you want to claim and do.
[01:07:42]  That's going to be the end result.
[01:07:44]  And so it was kind of inevitable.
[01:07:46]  And now here we are.
[01:07:47]  And now the right, the young people can't stand it.
[01:07:49]  The right wing is Israel's losing favor.
[01:07:51]  And people are like, oh, what's going on?
[01:07:53]  It must be anti Semitism.
[01:07:54]  And it's like, no, this is a natural progression here.
[01:07:57]  Yeah.
[01:07:58]  And seven years ago, when I was seen as this, you know, man of hate, I literally was saying the same thing.
[01:08:05]  I'm like, you want to allow the jokes to kind of let people ease into it, you don't want it just to hit people hard.
[01:08:13]  Because then you could get a really unstable situation.
[01:08:15]  And I think that's where we're at right now.
[01:08:17]  Whereas back in the day, I was just doing very simple jokes about it, you know, like various liability shields.
[01:08:24]  I don't know if you've seen my Pulp Pot cartoon, where it's just Pulp Pot is arguing with a Hollywood producer about, you know, who had a more, like, why doesn't anyone talk about his genocide?
[01:08:35]  And that's kind of how you do it.
[01:08:39]  Oh, no.
[01:08:40]  Oh, no.
[01:08:42]  All right.
[01:08:43]  I'm sorry, Owen.
[01:08:44]  I just muted you.
[01:08:45]  No, I got you back.
[01:08:45]  I muted you accidentally.
[01:08:47]  Oh, cool.
[01:08:48]  Yeah.
[01:08:48]  And so that's why I wrote this book.
[01:08:50]  Actually, Pol Pot called me.
[01:08:51]  He said, silence you right now.
[01:08:54]  Yeah.
[01:08:54]  Why don't everyone talk about my genocide?
[01:08:56]  Yeah.
[01:08:56]  And that cartoon's been going viral now a lot.
[01:08:59]  And that's why I wrote this book because I wanted to make it like I wanted to fractally bring it down to the microcosm where people can see how wizardry works in their own personal life and how to resist it, like how to not fall for it over and over again.
[01:09:16]  And I hope it really helps people.
[01:09:19]  I mean, right now that book's number one in the rhetoric section on Amazon.
[01:09:23]  And the response has been really good because people now see that it's all word spells.
[01:09:28]  You know, it's all like, because, you know, the demons can't get you to do anything.
[01:09:32]  They need you to, like, free will can't actually be hijacked.
[01:09:37]  You have to do it yourself, you know?
[01:09:41]  You're a little older than I am.
[01:09:43]  I'm 36.
[01:09:43]  I don't know how old you are, but I would imagine, you know, I think that what I like to say is the world that I grew up in and the world my father grew up in is way, we had a way more similar experience than the world that I will grow up in or you will grow up in.
[01:09:59]  I think you have what, like four kids.
[01:10:01]  The world that you grew up in versus the worlds that your kids are going to grow up in are way different than the worlds that the difference between you and your father's world.
[01:10:10]  I don't know if I'm phrasing this right.
[01:10:12]  I think you understand what I'm saying.
[01:10:14]  And so I'm sitting here, I'm like, Hey, I remember growing up.
[01:10:18]  I remember growing up with Jewish friends, Black friends, Mexican friends, Asian friends.
[01:10:23]  Like, it was all funny.
[01:10:25]  Like, we all made fun of each other.
[01:10:27]  Nobody took anything personally.
[01:10:29]  It was all fun.
[01:10:30]  Like, it was like, that was kind of the culture was like, yeah, you talk trash and then you laugh and you drink a beer or something.
[01:10:37]  It's like now, I don't know.
[01:10:38]  I mean, I'm not a young person now, but it seems like there is this like, oh, don't say that or don't say that or you can't joke about that.
[01:10:46]  You can't joke about this.
[01:10:47]  There's always these, You know, racial anvils, these identity politics anvils hanging over your head that just weren't there.
[01:10:54]  They weren't there when I was growing up.
[01:10:55]  And I just wonder if this stuff is going to go away, if it's getting worse.
[01:11:00]  Because to me, I didn't deal with that.
[01:11:02]  That didn't exist when I was in high school.
[01:11:04]  Yeah, I don't comply with any of that.
[01:11:07]  That's why I'm in Idaho.
[01:11:10]  What is that behind you?
[01:11:12]  What is the name of that stream?
[01:11:14]  Oh, that's the Moye River.
[01:11:17]  Yeah, very nice.
[01:11:18]  I, yeah, my kids are being raised on a farm.
[01:11:21]  They play violin, they play the fiddle.
[01:11:23]  You know, their life is probably more like my grandparents' life.
[01:11:27]  You know, it's like because I wouldn't go along with that.
[01:11:30]  I started realizing that all these quote unquote right wingers would be complaining about things, but complying to it, where they'd say, How come the left can do this, but we can't?
[01:11:43]  I'm like, We can.
[01:11:44]  And they're like, But the left.
[01:11:46]  And I'm like, Just do it, man.
[01:11:49]  Like, just say the thing.
[01:11:50]  Like, if you spot hypocrisy, like, I hear this all the time.
[01:11:53]  It's like, well, how come, you know, Drewski can do whiteface, but we can't do blackface?
[01:12:00]  I'm like, just do black, you know, like, who cares?
[01:12:04]  And that's it.
[01:12:05]  Like, that's literally the end of it.
[01:12:06]  It's like, and so I realized that people kept saying, do not comply.
[01:12:12]  And I realized it's do not rely.
[01:12:14]  Because if you rely, you kind of have to comply or else you're like a rebellious slave.
[01:12:19]  And so, When COVID was happening and I just would never wear a mask, I'm like, if they kick us out of the supermarkets, we have to be self sufficient.
[01:12:28]  And we make our own cheese.
[01:12:30]  We have goats and cows and alpacas and, you know, a well and all this stuff.
[01:12:35]  And I'm like, no one tells me shit.
[01:12:38]  It's like, there's no time in my life where someone's like, you can't say that.
[01:12:43]  I'd be like, get the fuck off my property, you know?
[01:12:47]  Well, you've gone totally independent.

=== Building Bullshit Projects (08:21) ===

[01:12:50]  You're close to a caveman.
[01:12:51]  You're a little, you're a little.
[01:12:52]  Trimmed up right now, you're a little cleaned up right now, you know, so you're not full caveman at this moment.
[01:12:58]  But I do, I do have a feeling that when this stream ends, you're actually just going to turn around and jump into that stream.
[01:13:06]  In matters of minutes, your hair could grow long, your beard could grow out, uh, you might get a little more gruff in your presentation.
[01:13:15]  Is that how nature works?
[01:13:16]  I'm a city slicker, I don't know.
[01:13:18]  Yeah, well, this guy down the street, I think he's on the verge of inventing the wheel, and it's pretty much blowing my mind, but we'll figure it out, we'll figure it out together.
[01:13:26]  Maybe you can like put it in the water and generate power.
[01:13:33]  That's what this guy said, but we burned him alive to satisfy the god Loki.
[01:13:38]  But other than that, things are going pretty well.
[01:13:40]  But you know, he had to burn, the flesh was required, and that's how we keep away the spirits.
[01:13:45]  Maybe next time.
[01:13:46]  All right, I want to get into some lighter stuff here with you.
[01:13:50]  I want to read a story.
[01:13:51]  This is in the news.
[01:13:53]  I think this is from today.
[01:13:54]  Let me see when this is from.
[01:13:55]  Let me just read this to you, get your response, or let's see how long you can listen to this.
[01:13:59]  Guys, let's see how long Owen Benjamin can listen to me read this story until he starts laughing.
[01:14:04]  And I know what the final line I'm going to have here is, but here we go.
[01:14:07]  This is in the landing.
[01:14:08]  This is actually from yesterday.
[01:14:10]  A private company wants to block the sun.
[01:14:13]  He's already laughing.
[01:14:14]  So that didn't last.
[01:14:15]  I couldn't even get the headline out.
[01:14:17]  A private company wants to block the sun responsibly, responsibly block the giver of life.
[01:14:24]  Stardust sold geoengineering to investors.
[01:14:26]  Now it needs to sell it to the public.
[01:14:29]  Okay, from Alexander Kaufman here.
[01:14:31]  Let's get into the meat of it.
[01:14:33]  The world's first major private geoengineering startup must have known it would have skeptics.
[01:14:39]  Okay, it gets into some of these numbers.
[01:14:41]  All right.
[01:14:42]  Stardust Solutions is the name of this company.
[01:14:45]  An American Israeli company, oh, come on, is planning to build a solar reflection system in the next few years.
[01:14:54]  And it's raised tens of millions of dollars so far.
[01:14:57]  So, an American Israeli company, whatever that means, Stardust Solutions wants to block out the sun.
[01:15:03]  But this time it's responsible, Owen.
[01:15:06]  It's responsible.
[01:15:08]  Yeah.
[01:15:09]  I mean, it just seems like more shenanigans from our best buddies, the juice.
[01:15:15]  No, but it's like, it's bullshit.
[01:15:17]  You know, it's just all bullshit.
[01:15:19]  You know, I'm not even worried about AI.
[01:15:21]  They're like, AI is going to take over all this.
[01:15:24]  I just see people doing it running a pump and dump.
[01:15:27]  You know, it's like, they're not going to block the sun.
[01:15:31]  Like, they're ridiculous people.
[01:15:33]  They can barely tie their shoes, they don't know where food comes from.
[01:15:38]  You know, I'm 50 50 on that with you because I saw your takes on AI.
[01:15:42]  And if you have, if there's a case example, then the metaverse is kind of the perfect case example, or you could go with some other things like a 3D TV.
[01:15:51]  Those flopped.
[01:15:52]  Um, you know, the digital world metaverse, like you put on those goofy goggles and you walk around a fake world or however that works.
[01:15:59]  That flopped.
[01:16:00]  There was no real interest in that.
[01:16:01]  I think, I think meta lost billions of dollars on that deal.
[01:16:06]  So I could see maybe AI going the same direction.
[01:16:09]  But it does seem to have permeated just kind of the natural flow of people's lives now.
[01:16:16]  I don't know if it's going to be completely irrelevant.
[01:16:19]  I don't know if it'll turn into the Terminator Skynet, like maybe some people are afraid of.
[01:16:24]  Do you think it'll be completely irrelevant or do you just?
[01:16:27]  No, no, I think it's a cool tool.
[01:16:29]  If you know what you're doing and what you want to do and you know how AI works as a tool, it can do amazing stuff.
[01:16:37]  I mean, you can.
[01:16:39]  You know, make these little agents that can categorize and do all these kind of bullshit white collar jobs that people get into college debt for and they waste their life doing.
[01:16:48]  Yeah, I think AI can do a lot of that stuff.
[01:16:51]  And it's kind of a cool search engine, but it's not sentient.
[01:16:58]  It's just a language model, it's just all about percentages and probabilities.
[01:17:03]  And so, like any other thing, I mean, it's moving very fast, but the infrastructure needs to be placed.
[01:17:09]  Way faster.
[01:17:10]  You know, it's like we went into this insane debt to get the railroads, and that changed the world and everything.
[01:17:16]  And railroads would last 100 years.
[01:17:19]  I mean, the infrastructure for AI lasts about three years, and then you have to keep replacing it.
[01:17:25]  And the amount of energy it needs, and the amount of infrastructure, and the amount of raw materials, and rare earth minerals, and silver, and all that, it's still, it requires even more manpower to make the thing that can put boobs on a monkey.
[01:17:39]  You know, it's like it's just farther up the Tower of Babel, you know.
[01:17:43]  Well, and I wonder too, with all the details you just laid out, if these companies and these investors aren't getting a bit ahead of themselves.
[01:17:54]  There was a big video in Florida.
[01:17:56]  I mean, they are building in the middle of rural farmland, Florida, like the biggest data center.
[01:18:01]  I mean, it's miles.
[01:18:03]  This site is going to be a miles long data center.
[01:18:06]  And I'm wondering, are they just getting ahead of themselves?
[01:18:09]  Do they already know what they're going to use this for?
[01:18:11]  I'm not so sure because.
[01:18:13]  We do know the energy.
[01:18:15]  We don't have the energy right now, unless you're going to tell Americans to stop living in a house.
[01:18:20]  We just don't have the energy capacity for it.
[01:18:23]  And then, secondly, what is even the purpose?
[01:18:28]  Like, I don't need this data center.
[01:18:30]  I can get access to anything I want on the internet right now.
[01:18:32]  Why do we need these giant data centers?
[01:18:34]  So there's obviously something else going on.
[01:18:36]  Or do you think they're putting the cart before the horse on this?
[01:18:40]  Kind of like with Trump, who now I don't even know if anything he says is true, but he's like, I've got $5 trillion in investments the next day.
[01:18:48]  Seven trillion in investment.
[01:18:51]  I've got 10 trillion.
[01:18:52]  We've got 500 bajillion trillion.
[01:18:54]  And I'm not sure any of it even exists.
[01:18:57]  Honestly, I don't think any of it even exists.
[01:18:59]  But they're going to build these data centers.
[01:19:01]  Do you think it'll all be defunct within years?
[01:19:03]  Or do you think there's maybe a different purpose to building these things?
[01:19:07]  Well, this is the late stages of a wizard rebuilt empire on fiat currency.
[01:19:12]  I mean, it's abracadabra.
[01:19:14]  I mean, dollars don't even exist to begin with.
[01:19:17]  You know, when you get a mortgage, they just take the money out of thin air by just typing it into a machine.
[01:19:23]  And so you're just seeing kind of the culmination of all this corruption and scamming where it's just abominations.
[01:19:31]  You know, I don't, I remember my hometown, we had three nuclear power plants.
[01:19:35]  And I think nuclear power is going to come back because they do need a lot of it.
[01:19:39]  It has to.
[01:19:39]  It has to.
[01:19:40]  Yeah.
[01:19:40]  Yeah.
[01:19:41]  And so, and it's awesome energy too.
[01:19:43]  That's why.
[01:19:44]  Was that in California?
[01:19:45]  Was that in California?
[01:19:46]  No, Oswego, New York.
[01:19:48]  It's in the middle of absolute nowhere.
[01:19:50]  I mean, my parents' house, I joke that BlackRock doesn't even buy my town.
[01:19:56]  You know, houses are still like 70 grand.
[01:19:58]  It's hilarious.
[01:20:00]  But what were we just talking about?
[01:20:03]  About nuclear power?
[01:20:04]  Oh, about what they're doing.
[01:20:06]  So my hometown had all this money come in from the nuke plants, and then a couple shut down.
[01:20:12]  And they couldn't have a football team anymore, but yet they still built a brand new turf field.
[01:20:19]  And I was asking, like, why did you build it?
[01:20:21]  They're like, because we had it budgeted.
[01:20:24]  And I'm like, but there's no football team.
[01:20:26]  And they're like, but we had it budgeted.
[01:20:30]  Like a bridge to nowhere.
[01:20:31]  Right.
[01:20:32]  And so when you have these people that are functioning in a corrupt manner where they don't function on any moral code, and you see a lot of this with the AI people, like, they're just completely fiends, you know, they're just fiendish.
[01:20:45]  They don't have a plan.
[01:20:46]  I mean, their plan is just to acquire capital and influence, but in the end, it just becomes nothing.
[01:20:53]  It's just like they're just building bullshit.
[01:20:56]  And this is how scams end, you know?
[01:20:58]  And by the way, for people that don't know, those turf fields are usually seven figures.
[01:21:02]  I mean, if you get a new turf field, you're probably spending a million dollars or more, I guess, depending on some other details, but those are not cheap.

=== Scam Field Costs (13:14) ===

[01:21:11]  So that's funny.
[01:21:12]  And, you know, that's almost to the point where you get into this question of, Are these even real people?
[01:21:19]  Like, I'm not even trying to be funny.
[01:21:20]  Like, are these even real people?
[01:21:22]  Are these NPCs?
[01:21:24]  It's like, hey, we're going to build the football team.
[01:21:26]  Oh, who's going to play on it?
[01:21:27]  Well, I don't know.
[01:21:29]  Well, I've seen that.
[01:21:30]  I've seen that with people all the time.
[01:21:31]  It's like people make a choice to give up their autonomy when they went because I've seen it in comedy where they'll just pretend something's offensive.
[01:21:41]  And I'm like, to who?
[01:21:43]  You know, like age of consent laws offend pedophiles.
[01:21:46]  Like being offended doesn't mean anything morally.
[01:21:49]  Like, are you offended because I just made fun of how horrible you are?
[01:21:54]  You know, like who cares?
[01:21:56]  And so when people give up their autonomy, they give up, you know, they're vacated.
[01:22:00]  They're like, I'm not making any choices.
[01:22:02]  And I see it all the time.
[01:22:04]  I see it where people just make these choices where they just put their kid on a little yellow bus driven by some meth addict and they just take them away for all day long and their heads get filled with lies and they feed them like Mountain Dew.
[01:22:22]  How dare you insult America's bus drivers like this?
[01:22:27]  Dude, they don't even have seatbelts on these buses.
[01:22:31]  Like, imagine that.
[01:22:32]  Like, growing up, I never even thought about that.
[01:22:34]  No seatbelts on the buses, and there's just some guy like, and this is like your child, and you're like, Oh, see you later.
[01:22:43]  Hey, do you ever talk to the uh, do you ever talk to the South Park guys, uh, Trey and Matt?
[01:22:47]  Well, they had me host they like through my agent back in the day, they had me host their uh, events a few times.
[01:22:54]  Yeah, I knew I knew you had some connection there.
[01:22:56]  I'm just curious because they were you go back and watch these South Park episodes, yeah, dude, 20 years old, and you're like, Holy smokes.
[01:23:06]  Because it was never interpreted as like, this is going to be the reality.
[01:23:09]  It was always interpreted as, we're going to take this direction and push it to the end.
[01:23:15]  It was like, that's what they were doing.
[01:23:17]  It's like, okay, this is happening, but what's like the end result of this?
[01:23:20]  Okay, let's go all the way.
[01:23:21]  And now it's like, you watch these old episodes and it's actually all happening.
[01:23:25]  I watched some of these South Park episodes and I'm like, oh my God, who would have ever thought watching that at the time it would end up being real?
[01:23:34]  Like the Randy Macho Man Savage competing in women's sports.
[01:23:38]  I'm the strongest woman.
[01:23:40]  No one will defeat me.
[01:23:43]  And you got all these liberals like knocking their knees, like, oh, yeah, you're a woman.
[01:23:47]  Yeah, okay.
[01:23:48]  Oh, it's like now that's happening.
[01:23:51]  Yeah, I made a series for Sony in 2005 called Gay Town, where I was a closet heterosexual in a gay world.
[01:23:59]  And I had to like do fantasy baseball in a park bathroom.
[01:24:03]  And, you know, it was like the Mormons were called more mans and they would go door to door.
[01:24:10]  And, and, It happened, and people thought I like worked for the CIA or something.
[01:24:14]  They're like, How did you know that?
[01:24:15]  I'm like, It's comedic inevitability where you see a pattern, you extrapolate it, you exaggerate it, and unless something stops it, that's where life is going, you know.
[01:24:27]  And then the way I see it is things invert until they kind of come back around because, uh, when you go full inversion, where up is down, hot is cold, good is bad, uh, death is life, um, and you have like you brought up Trump, where Trump.
[01:24:43]  You know, the same news headline will say, the war in Iran's about to end.
[01:24:48]  It's not a war, and we're about to like really escalate the war.
[01:24:52]  You know, it's just like, and that can't really function.
[01:24:56]  And so anybody that is in reality can outperform that, you know, and you get a massive advantage if you just like think about how much money I save now just growing my food.
[01:25:06]  And before people thought I was like a freak, they're like, you ate a Joey Diaz pot brownie and you ran to the woods with a cow.
[01:25:14]  And I'm like, Now, those same people are like, hey man, can I get some cheese?
[01:25:20]  Well, we could talk about farming.
[01:25:21]  That's a whole other conversation.
[01:25:23]  But I want to talk about what you just brought up with comedy.
[01:25:26]  And this might be an example of what I'm going to say here.
[01:25:29]  I don't know if you've noticed this or if you agree, but Saturday Night Live is kind of funny again, specifically their political stuff.
[01:25:38]  They've always obviously made fun of politics and presidents, but when they were kind of just focused on this political bent of hate Trump or get Trump or embarrass Trump with no real tether to reality, it was never funny.
[01:25:50]  It just ended up being bad political propaganda.
[01:25:54]  But now you watch a Trump speech and he says, We've won the war and the war is over.
[01:25:59]  And then two seconds later, we need more help with the war.
[01:26:02]  Exactly.
[01:26:03]  And then on the end of the speech, he'll say, Well, this is what happened in the last 48 hours.
[01:26:09]  We have decimated Iran's military.
[01:26:12]  They have no missiles and no capacity to launch missiles, even if they had them.
[01:26:17]  It's a victory.
[01:26:18]  And then it's like, Oh, wow, okay.
[01:26:20]  And then you open up the news today two American jets shot out of the air by Iran, two helicopters shot by Iran, 40 missiles hit Israel.
[01:26:31]  What?
[01:26:31]  It's like, wait, Trump just told me that they're decimated.
[01:26:34]  They have no missiles, they have no military, and now they're bombing everything in sight.
[01:26:39]  Iran is bombing 10 countries with the missiles they don't have and the military we destroyed.
[01:26:45]  And so it's like, okay, here comes the opportunity for SNL to be funny again.
[01:26:48]  But here's the point you made that it's like, this is why woke never worked in comedy.
[01:26:54]  And so basically, you put two thoughts out there and you said, you can't, it's like, if you want to do comedy, you have to be able to take a concept and push the boundaries.
[01:27:06]  Like, that's what you have to do with comedy.
[01:27:08]  But if you're woke, And it's like you're afraid to do that.
[01:27:12]  You can't be funny, right?
[01:27:13]  It's like you can't, if you're scared, it's like, I'm going to take this concept and I think it's going to go this far and that's going to be funny.
[01:27:20]  But if you say, oh, I can't do that, you know, that's not politically correct, then you're not funny anymore.
[01:27:26]  So it was like you can't be woke and be funny.
[01:27:31]  It's actually, I think, philosophically impossible to try to protect these ideas, but then also be funny trying to break them down.
[01:27:39]  Yeah, and you also have to be self effacing.
[01:27:41]  You know, they say a vampire can't see their reflection.
[01:27:45]  You can't have a sacred cow, even with yourself, you know, where you can't really be on a team.
[01:27:53]  And you have to have it rooted in truth, or else you can't extrapolate from it.
[01:27:57]  And I've made missteps over the years with that stuff, where, you know, there'd be a few, you know, periods in my life where I really felt like things were getting crazy.
[01:28:09]  And, And you would, and I kind of lost gestures privilege for from moment to moment because I didn't see the humor in what I was doing as well.
[01:28:19]  Or, um, I would think like a joke was an attack or something.
[01:28:24]  And it's interesting when you see it and then you can allow it again, you know.
[01:28:29]  And I think a lot of that is healing right now.
[01:28:32]  Like people are spiraling about what's happening in the world.
[01:28:35]  It is the best time I've ever seen.
[01:28:37]  I mean, there was a time when I could see a lot of this stuff and other people couldn't see it, and I felt a lot more.
[01:28:43]  Stress and anxiety every day than I do now.
[01:28:45]  Now it's like, because I'm all about people, their own choices.
[01:28:50]  I'm like, choose whatever you want.
[01:28:51]  I just, it was just crazy living in a world where people wouldn't acknowledge reality, you know?
[01:28:57]  Well, I think that that might be, well, maybe on the right, worse than ever, or at least, you know, in the modern sense.
[01:29:03]  It's funny that you say that because I think, I don't know, my direction is obviously different than yours.
[01:29:09]  I do a news show every day.
[01:29:10]  I do three hours of news every day, but I'm kind of having this same issue where it's just like, I almost feel bad for my audience.
[01:29:17]  It's like, who wants to hear this crap every day?
[01:29:19]  Like, I'm lucky enough that I have an audience that wants to listen to me three hours a day and I put in the work to know what I'm talking about and do a show.
[01:29:27]  But I'm like, by the time I finish my news aggregation, I'm like, Man, this is just shitty.
[01:29:33]  Like, all of our politicians are just shit.
[01:29:36]  Everybody that claim to be principled and MAGA, they're all liars, frauds, and cult members.
[01:29:42]  It's like, I don't want to do this every damn day.
[01:29:44]  It's like, okay, how do I entertain?
[01:29:46]  How do I kind of recreate?
[01:29:48]  How do we morph into something that's not just tormenting people with the news cycle every day?
[01:29:53]  And I guess I'm kind of doing that here with you right now.
[01:29:57]  But it does seem, I mean, even in the conversations, and I guess I'll ask it to you like this.
[01:30:01]  I don't know, maybe it's different.
[01:30:02]  You live on a farm.
[01:30:03]  But I can tell the difference between somebody that actually has like a legitimate normal social life versus somebody that doesn't the way that they cover politics.
[01:30:15]  And I'm not, you know, I'm not claiming I'm the biggest socialite, but I've got social circles.
[01:30:19]  I've got groups of friends.
[01:30:20]  I've got social activities.
[01:30:21]  I go out, you know, I have a pretty normal social life.
[01:30:24]  And so it's like I have a grasp on what people are thinking and what they're saying about different things.
[01:30:29]  And I don't, it's not just one like minded people.
[01:30:32]  I got all kinds of different people.
[01:30:33]  So it's like, okay, I got a pretty good grasp on where people are at that don't really necessarily follow politics.
[01:30:39]  And then you watch some of the commentary online and you're like, wow, you've really never stepped foot outside your door, have you?
[01:30:45]  Like, you've never even stepped foot outside of your door.
[01:30:49]  I mean, the best example now is Trump has 100% support in MAGA.
[01:30:54]  Everybody, like, have you talked to a person ever?
[01:30:57]  So I'm just curious from your social circles, what is it like for you?
[01:31:01]  Because everybody that wants to talk to me is very down and out.
[01:31:05]  When it comes to politics, they're very down and out when it comes to news.
[01:31:08]  They feel extremely disenfranchised no matter what their background is, politics are.
[01:31:14]  They just think the whole thing is corrupt and they're just like, yeah, whatever, just let it all collapse.
[01:31:19]  My only friend is Larry Loomer.
[01:31:23]  So, you know, you guys are doing great.
[01:31:26]  Is that the old Larry Loomer?
[01:31:29]  Yo, yeah.
[01:31:30]  I mean, those people, they're acting nutty.
[01:31:33]  Yeah.
[01:31:33]  In my social circle, we don't, I mean, we haven't talked about politics that much since COVID.
[01:31:38]  I mean, For example, okay, the Charlie Kirk shooting.
[01:31:43]  I mean, I know a ton of elk hunters.
[01:31:46]  Like most people I know hunt a lot.
[01:31:48]  And so when they said that was a 30 out of 6, people just thought it was like a funny joke, you know?
[01:31:53]  And so people aren't where I live, people don't take any of this stuff very seriously at all.
[01:31:58]  People are more focused on sheriff elections, commissioners, stuff like that.
[01:32:05]  Like the political battles are more, you know, is this piece of land going to be turned commercial?
[01:32:10]  Can we get rid of property taxes?
[01:32:12]  You know, it's more.
[01:32:14]  That then, like the big show, the big show has gotten a little ridiculous.
[01:32:17]  And, uh, but, but what you're doing is still cool, man.
[01:32:20]  It's like to, to show people a crazy narrative that might allow them to break out of the, you know, the political dependency where they think that these people control their lives.
[01:32:31]  That's cool.
[01:32:32]  And it's pretty funny.
[01:32:33]  I mean, it's a pretty epic time to, to hear the news.
[01:32:36]  I, I like to stay in tune with the news.
[01:32:38]  You know, some of the people that listen to me, they don't listen to any news.
[01:32:42]  And so they get their news kind of from me, but I just do it in a funny way, you know?
[01:32:46]  Well, I don't even bother with the news.
[01:32:47]  I, I just, Call BB Netanyahu.
[01:32:50]  I just call Benjamin Milikowski and just let him tell me what the world is like because, you know, everything else is obviously.
[01:32:55]  I mean, that's how Trump views it.
[01:32:56]  So I'm in the Trump cult.
[01:32:58]  So I've got to view it that way.
[01:32:59]  Of course, we're being facetious here.
[01:33:01]  You know, here's it.
[01:33:01]  Here's I'm wondering what this is like for you because, all right, I've got three hours a day.
[01:33:06]  I have no problem filling three hours a day with news.
[01:33:09]  Usually I have to cut down.
[01:33:11]  There's too much news.
[01:33:13]  But like I'll approach it like this you brought up the Charlie Kirk assassination.
[01:33:17]  There's, you know, obviously different angles of this now.
[01:33:20]  The bullet, Erica, Kirk, TPUSA, all of this stuff.
[01:33:24]  So, my approach was you know, when it first happened, it was like, okay, let's follow the bouncing ball, let's try to keep up with everything.
[01:33:30]  And then it reached this point where it became so toxic.
[01:33:34]  Well, I'll go out, it doesn't matter what social circle, I'll go out, I'll talk to my friends, their friends, whatever.
[01:33:41]  And it's like, nobody believes the official narrative.
[01:33:46]  I don't even have to talk.
[01:33:48]  People will just come up to me and they'll be like, did you see that they said it was a 30-second?
[01:33:51]  Did you see what it is?
[01:33:52]  So, like, nobody really believes it.
[01:33:54]  So, I'm looking at this topic and I'm like, there's no need for me to talk about this.
[01:33:58]  Like, I don't need to jump into this toxic pool of the charm of the nation because it's not going to help me, A, and B, there's nobody to convince.
[01:34:09]  I'm not going to convince the people in the political world that they got it all figured out or they're bought and paid for or they have their own agenda.
[01:34:15]  So, there's no point in that.
[01:34:16]  I walk around in public, nobody believes the official narrative.
[01:34:20]  So, is there anything like that in the comedy world where it's like, you know what?
[01:34:23]  Everyone else is making this joke.

=== Comedy World Censorship (05:18) ===

[01:34:25]  So, I don't need to.
[01:34:26]  Oh, yeah.
[01:34:27]  Oh, dude, I'm a total hipster too.
[01:34:30]  I'm like, as soon as something like I'm done doing Jew jokes, I think it's too hacky now.
[01:34:35]  Like, everyone's doing Jew jokes, and I'm like, you guys can have them.
[01:34:39]  Wait, are you talking?
[01:34:41]  Is that a circumcision joke or a Jewish joke?
[01:34:43]  It's a circumcision joke.
[01:34:45]  You know, just biting off the tip.
[01:34:47]  Just making sure.
[01:34:48]  Don't give anyone herpes.
[01:34:49]  Yeah, dude.
[01:34:50]  I mean, and I'm six foot eight, so I relate a lot more with Goliath.
[01:34:54]  I think David pulled some real shady moves.
[01:34:57]  You know, you're pro Goliath now too.
[01:35:00]  Big time.
[01:35:02]  They got the sling banned after some quote unquote shooting.
[01:35:06]  And Goliath didn't know what he was getting in.
[01:35:08]  Dude, they circumcised him after they killed him.
[01:35:10]  Like, that's a pretty crazy move.
[01:35:13]  Do you get a little scared when you see a slingshot?
[01:35:16]  Does that shake you a little bit?
[01:35:18]  Yeah, I see a little guy with a yarmulke and a slingshot.
[01:35:21]  I'm out.
[01:35:23]  What if the guy has a beard too?
[01:35:27]  I might be in.
[01:35:28]  The beard brings you back.
[01:35:30]  Yeah.
[01:35:32]  I don't know.
[01:35:32]  Beard, I feel like a lot more trust when I see a beard.
[01:35:36]  If somebody spends that much time just making their face really smooth, I think that dude's trying to get the tip of my dick.
[01:35:43]  Okay.
[01:35:43]  Well, this is a good segue then.
[01:35:46]  Have you been seeing this new genre of looks maxing that does go on?
[01:35:52]  Yeah.
[01:35:53]  Yeah.
[01:35:54]  Clavicular.
[01:35:56]  Yes.
[01:35:57]  Yes.
[01:35:58]  I think most of it is fake, but there's no denying it's very viral right now.
[01:36:03]  It's very trendy right now.
[01:36:05]  I look at it and I'm like, I don't know.
[01:36:07]  I feel like it was always there.
[01:36:09]  There was never really a name for it.
[01:36:11]  It was like you always had guys that wanted to look their best, whatever that meant.
[01:36:17]  There was always that guy in high school or college, however, however it meant.
[01:36:20]  There was never a name for it.
[01:36:21]  It was never like a genre or a personality.
[01:36:24]  Now it's this whole viral thing.
[01:36:26]  I look at clavicular and half of me says, You know what?
[01:36:30]  I like this.
[01:36:30]  I like the idea of, I'll even say it like down to the identity thing.
[01:36:34]  I like the idea of a white guy being sexualized, right?
[01:36:39]  It's like no one's ever allowed to do that since like Brad Pitt.
[01:36:42]  It's like you haven't been allowed to do that for 20 years.
[01:36:45]  And so it's like, oh, okay, you're allowed to do it again.
[01:36:47]  It's like, all right, whatever.
[01:36:48]  So from that angle, I'm kind of like cheering him on.
[01:36:51]  I'm like, hey, good, you know, manpower, like, you know, let's get the men, let's lift the men up.
[01:36:56]  We can be great again too.
[01:36:58]  And hey, you know what?
[01:36:59]  It's okay to say a white man is sexy again.
[01:37:01]  Like, it doesn't have to be a gay guy like John Legend.
[01:37:04]  Like, we can say a white guy is good looking again.
[01:37:06]  And then the other part of me sitting here saying, if he keeps us up, he's going to be dead.
[01:37:11]  Like, he's dead soon.
[01:37:14]  And so, how do you balance that for kids to say, hey, look, you know, sometimes it's okay to push these boundaries and have these things.
[01:37:21]  If you take it too far, you're not going to be feeling it or you're going to be having a real seizure.
[01:37:27]  Yeah, I think one thing I like about Clavicular is he's.
[01:37:31]  He's brought new fun words and terms into the lexicon.
[01:37:35]  Like, I think maxing and mogging and all that, I think it's hilarious.
[01:37:40]  I like when people do new language things that I can riff on.
[01:37:45]  Bone smashing?
[01:37:46]  Yeah, like bone smashing.
[01:37:48]  It's just something new.
[01:37:49]  It's not just regurgitated.
[01:37:51]  That being said, it's crazy.
[01:37:55]  It's just like insane.
[01:38:01]  You're defining yourself by how other people see you, too.
[01:38:04]  And it's not healthy at all.
[01:38:06]  It's, you know, he has no sperm count.
[01:38:09]  Literally zero.
[01:38:10]  He's infertile.
[01:38:12]  He's infertile.
[01:38:14]  It's all about chemical dependency, big pharma.
[01:38:17]  I mean, it's crazy, but he's also pretty funny.
[01:38:22]  He was talking to this black dude that was grilling him for saying the N word.
[01:38:26]  And I say it, I just out of respect.
[01:38:29]  I don't know what channel this is on, but I won't, you know, just out of respect as a guest.
[01:38:34]  This is on Negro national television.
[01:38:37]  You're on Negro national television.
[01:38:39]  I philosophically use any word in context.
[01:38:42]  But anyway, so.
[01:38:44]  The way he handled it was so funny.
[01:38:46]  He was like, It's just a fun word to say, man.
[01:38:48]  And the guy's like, But, but you say the word, he's like, Yeah, he's like, It's fun, it's just a fun word.
[01:38:55]  And the dude just started being like, Okay, he's like, Yeah.
[01:38:59]  And I was like, Dude, that's that's that's some high level shit because getting angry is always the problem.
[01:39:06]  And so, if you're just chill about stuff, like the people you think are going to be quote unquote offended, they literally don't care.
[01:39:12]  Cause I cut my teeth in black rooms, like in Cleveland and Mississippi, Alabama, and like, If you are scared, they'll eat you alive on stage.
[01:39:22]  Like, you have to be fearless as a comedian.
[01:39:26]  And then, you know, you go to Hollywood and all these Jews are like, oh, you can't say this word.
[01:39:31]  I'm offended on behalf of the blacks we enslaved.
[01:39:34]  You know, it's like, that's the joke.
[01:39:36]  Like, that's actually the joke is some guy named Ira is going to be offended on behalf of their help.

=== Ira's Vanity Room (02:20) ===

[01:39:44]  But as far as clavicular goes, you know, I was raised in town with a lot of Sicilians and guys.
[01:39:49]  Like the Sicilian men are have always been like that.
[01:39:52]  They're always like, you put the air freshener in the heat vent so you get the extra scent, and you put the watch in the cuff.
[01:40:00]  Like they've always been very into their appearance.
[01:40:03]  So, um, aside from the chemicals and the bashing of the bones, it's pretty standard, you know?
[01:40:09]  Yeah, bone smashing would have meant something different.
[01:40:13]  Uh, when I was 20 years old, you know, exactly.
[01:40:15]  You know, what's funny about that?
[01:40:16]  You bring up the uh Sicilians, I've never done uh comedy.
[01:40:21]  But I always like to pretend I could do stand up comedy.
[01:40:24]  And I thought about this one bit because I actually saw this happen one time.
[01:40:29]  I'm at my club, I'm at my gym, and I'm in the locker room, and there's a Persian guy.
[01:40:36]  And so there's like this little vanity thing, you know.
[01:40:40]  And the Persian goes up to the vanity.
[01:40:42]  He's got his little bag.
[01:40:43]  It's also like a damn clown car, this bag.
[01:40:45]  So he sits down at the vanity.
[01:40:47]  He pulls out his scent.
[01:40:51]  He's got his scent.
[01:40:52]  He pulls out his comb.
[01:40:54]  I'm like, okay.
[01:40:56]  He pulls out, I think he pulls out a hair dryer.
[01:41:00]  And I'm like, okay, where is this going?
[01:41:01]  And then he pulls out the body lotion.
[01:41:03]  And then he pulls out the eyebrow tweezers.
[01:41:07]  And then he pulls out the body lotion.
[01:41:10]  And then he pulls out the pomade.
[01:41:13]  Pomade?
[01:41:14]  Like he's got this clown car bag and it's just nonstop beauty.
[01:41:18]  Like, where?
[01:41:19]  How do you even fit all this stuff in?
[01:41:20]  And now he's got the whole vanity.
[01:41:21]  He's got a whole damn vanity full of beauty products here.
[01:41:24]  He's sitting at the gym vanity.
[01:41:25]  And I'm just like, what in the hell?
[01:41:27]  He pulls out a gold chain.
[01:41:29]  He's got his gold chain.
[01:41:30]  He's got a whole look like he's about to go to the club.
[01:41:33]  I know that there's some sort of a stand up bit there, but it's like, yeah, it's always existed.
[01:41:37]  Now we just have these funny terms that we can apply to it and watch guys kind of turn it into a genre.
[01:41:44]  Yeah, just peacocking.
[01:41:45]  And the Sicilians do it hardcore.
[01:41:48]  They're like so hardcore.
[01:41:50]  And they're like, because Sebastian Montescalco used to be, because I'm like the opposite of that.
[01:41:55]  If I remember to wear socks, it's like a pretty big deal, you know?
[01:41:59]  And they get disgusted.
[01:42:00]  Like I remember Sebastian would be like, look at you.

=== Gym Chain Incident (08:16) ===

[01:42:04]  You're not even combing your hair.
[01:42:07]  You call yourself a man.
[01:42:09]  It's like, yeah.
[01:42:11]  And it's like, they really are like that.
[01:42:13]  They're just like, I mean, You didn't dry clean your underpants.
[01:42:18]  Like, what is wrong with you?
[01:42:20]  And, uh, and yeah, you know, I can see, I can see both ways.
[01:42:25]  Like, I don't look down at it.
[01:42:26]  I think it's just, it just takes a lot of time.
[01:42:29]  And when you're my size, you know, 6'8, 260, it's like that's a lot of area to like lotion and care about.
[01:42:38]  Like, I care about cardiovascular health, you know, penis reliability.
[01:42:44]  Well, your workout is on the farm.
[01:42:47]  Yeah, but I was starting to get a little fat when I went too hard that way.
[01:42:51]  I had to start going to the gym again because I never got to that threshold where you really stay in shape.
[01:42:58]  Like I was getting really good grip strength and I could be strong, but I was getting a little fat.
[01:43:03]  I was like a college lacrosse player.
[01:43:05]  So it's like I started admitting that farm work isn't like a full workout, it's like grueling, but you don't really get your heart rate to those places that you need to, you know?
[01:43:18]  Yeah.
[01:43:18]  Well, I'm sure Larry Loomer appreciated your grip strength, at least.
[01:43:22]  Definitely.
[01:43:23]  All right, enough with the homoeroticism here.
[01:43:27]  Let me bring up the next funny thing for you.
[01:43:30]  So, first of all, I'm curious if you would ever do this.
[01:43:33]  I don't know if you ever go to a baseball game.
[01:43:35]  Have you seen this?
[01:43:36]  There is a nacho hat, literally a nacho hat.
[01:43:40]  They're selling a nacho hat at the Texas Rangers games.
[01:43:42]  You get a little box of chips on top of your guac and cheese and whatever else they got on there.
[01:43:48]  And by the way, this is another Simpsons prediction.
[01:43:50]  You brought me a nacho hat.
[01:43:52]  Thanks.
[01:43:53]  Wow.
[01:43:54]  So another Simpsons prediction comes true.
[01:43:57]  Is the nacho hat a new American idea to be celebrated?
[01:44:03]  Or is this like, what in the hell have we become?
[01:44:07]  I'm into it.
[01:44:07]  I just think if I wore the nacho hat, no one could reach it because of the height.
[01:44:12]  And I think it would be very tax aggressive.
[01:44:14]  That'd be good for you.
[01:44:15]  Well, it'd be good for you.
[01:44:17]  You'd have domain over your nacho hat.
[01:44:19]  Nobody could steal from you.
[01:44:20]  100%.
[01:44:21]  And it would seem like I was generous because I have the nacho hat, but no one can reach it except for me.
[01:44:27]  And then I'd probably be attacked by birds.
[01:44:31]  But I'm pro nacho hat.
[01:44:33]  I think that's a fun idea.
[01:44:34]  You know, it's better than the beer hat because I think that leads to a lot of DUIs.
[01:44:41]  I think somebody did come out with the beer hat too, actually.
[01:44:43]  Oh, yeah, yeah.
[01:44:44]  You'd have the beer on the helmet and you have the hoses going in your mouth.
[01:44:48]  I remember that as a kid at games.
[01:44:52]  So, the beer hat, the nacho hat, you're going with the nacho hat.
[01:44:56]  I like nachos.
[01:44:58]  I do.
[01:44:59]  I like homemade guac.
[01:45:00]  I think it's awesome.
[01:45:02]  You know, the one thing I like about our Mexican buddies is the food.
[01:45:07]  They do have an amazing way to take beans, cheese, rice, and meat and make a thousand different dishes out of it.
[01:45:15]  Nobody does that like the Mexicans.
[01:45:17]  Yeah, no, and the tortillas and all that.
[01:45:20]  I mean, we can make it ourselves.
[01:45:22]  We don't need 50 million of them to make a burrito, but.
[01:45:26]  I've always respected their food.
[01:45:28]  I think it's delicious.
[01:45:30]  All right.
[01:45:30]  Have you heard about this?
[01:45:32]  The name of this artist is Abraham Poinchevel.
[01:45:37]  Abraham Poinchevel.
[01:45:39]  Okay.
[01:45:40]  This is going to take a twist for you, or maybe not, actually.
[01:45:43]  I don't know.
[01:45:44]  So, Abraham is an artist, and he just finished his most recent exhibition.
[01:45:49]  He lived in a rock for a straight week.
[01:45:52]  Here he is getting out of the rock.
[01:45:53]  This boulder in a Paris art gallery has been where a French artist has spent a week of his life.
[01:46:02]  Abraham Poinchevel made a victory sign as he was helped from the 12 ton limestone boulder where he has been entombed since the 22nd of February.
[01:46:12]  His next performance would involve sitting on eggs in an attempt to hatch them.
[01:46:18]  All right, art or comedy?
[01:46:20]  Well, I think he's full of shit.
[01:46:23]  I think he had a backdoor of that.
[01:46:25]  And it also just kind of shows that we might be due for an economic collapse because.
[01:46:31]  If that's a thing, like if there's enough infrastructure where people pay money to look at a guy sitting in a rock, entombed, yeah.
[01:46:40]  I just, I'm just not buying it.
[01:46:41]  I mean, look at the guy, like, there's no way that guy just sat in a rock like that.
[01:46:45]  I think, uh, there was a trap door and it's just another scam.
[01:46:50]  So, we got artists sitting in Iraq, we got the U.S. military in Iraq, it's basically the same thing.
[01:46:57]  So, exactly, you're not buying it, you don't think that's art.
[01:47:02]  No, no, I think that's ridiculous.
[01:47:04]  I mean, I think the nacho hat is more art than that, honestly.
[01:47:09]  If he can hatch an egg with his ass, is it art?
[01:47:12]  No, that's more the homoeroticism.
[01:47:14]  I think that's, I think his dream is to have a chicken go in his ass and he, and he's, and, but he won't just say that.
[01:47:21]  So he has to say, like, oh, I'm going to be a mama hen, you know, because after the Richard Gere situation, no one really wants to admit that they're just going to do that.
[01:47:31]  So he's going to call it art.
[01:47:33]  I mean, I think a lot of art is, I'd like to hear someone define what art is at this point.
[01:47:41]  Who was it that said?
[01:47:42]  I think there was a debate over legislation when it came to adult content.
[01:47:46]  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:47:47]  That was a major job.
[01:47:49]  I know exactly what you're talking about.
[01:47:50]  He said, You know what?
[01:47:52]  I can't define what porn is, but I know it when I see it.
[01:47:56]  Right.
[01:47:56]  It's like that's like Jews for me.
[01:48:00]  You want to carry on?
[01:48:02]  Yeah, because no one can really define Jews.
[01:48:04]  Is it a religion?
[01:48:05]  Is it a race?
[01:48:06]  Oh, yeah.
[01:48:07]  They say, I'm an eighth Jew.
[01:48:08]  What does that even mean?
[01:48:09]  Like, is it a bloodline?
[01:48:11]  Then you have the black Jews, the Persian Jews, you know, you have Kabbalah, the Talmud, the Jews.
[01:48:17]  Don't leave the white Jews out of this now.
[01:48:19]  Yeah.
[01:48:19]  And some of them just look like gremlins.
[01:48:22]  Some of them are very handsome, you know, out of Spain.
[01:48:26]  And so they're not really, it's almost like what they do with light.
[01:48:29]  It's a particle and a wave, even though you can't be both.
[01:48:32]  So it gets to a point where it, you know, you can't really define what a Jew is.
[01:48:38]  I always wished Matt Walsh.
[01:48:40]  Instead of what is a woman, he did what is a Jew because no one really knows.
[01:48:45]  So I pretty much just know it when I see it.
[01:48:48]  And it's typically, you know, when you lie to the world and say that you're sitting in a rock for two weeks, I'm thinking that's a Jewish man.
[01:48:59]  Well, first of all, you just gave Matt Walsh a million dollar idea and you did it for free.
[01:49:04]  So you're very generous in that regard.
[01:49:06]  And so if you're doing something for free, I think it's fair to say you're not.
[01:49:10]  Well, anyway, so we'll go ahead and move on for that.
[01:49:15]  But I think that's a million dollar idea right there, I think, for Matt Walsh.
[01:49:18]  Well, he'd get fired from the Daily Wire, though, because once you start defining terms, if it makes a bunch of money, I think you can sell it to Shapiro.
[01:49:26]  I think maybe he can say, hey, Ben, I know you might not like this, but money.
[01:49:31]  That's a good point.
[01:49:32]  That's a good point.
[01:49:33]  That's always the conundrum.
[01:49:34]  That was like Passion of the Christ.
[01:49:37]  That was when Jews really went a little batty because they're like piles of money, but Mel Gibson.
[01:49:45]  I bet that was, you know, I am not envious of them at that moment.
[01:49:49]  They must have had a lot of torment.
[01:49:51]  That was like the passion of the Jewish executive.
[01:49:56]  I, you know, I didn't even understand why they took that so personally either.
[01:50:00]  It was like, it was just a recount of the Bible.
[01:50:03]  I mean, it wasn't even like it was aimed in any direction, really.
[01:50:06]  I never, no, it was more about Rome.
[01:50:09]  It was like about Rome.
[01:50:10]  And they were like, ah, you're making fun of me.
[01:50:13]  It's like, dude, are you Roman?
[01:50:15]  They're like, it just, it's, they're very confusing, you know?

=== Jewish Executive Torment (14:44) ===

[01:50:20]  Yes.
[01:50:21]  Well, everybody's very confused right now.
[01:50:23]  Here's something that's confusing.
[01:50:24]  This is, this is right into your alleyway.
[01:50:26]  I'm going to throw you a fastball right down the middle.
[01:50:28]  Are you ready for this?
[01:50:29]  Big time.
[01:50:30]  All right.
[01:50:31]  Artemis 2 moon mission.
[01:50:35]  Okay.
[01:50:35]  What is really going on?
[01:50:37]  What is Owen Benjamin's take on the Artemis 2?
[01:50:41]  You sure you want my take?
[01:50:45]  I'm 100% positive.
[01:50:46]  I want your take.
[01:50:47]  It looks like my one shot just went out.
[01:50:49]  That's what's up, but I'm still with you here.
[01:50:51]  Well, I think, you know, I think NAS is a comedy troupe.
[01:50:55]  And so, you know, one of the women's named Cock and the black guy's named Glover.
[01:51:01]  And so it's Cock Glover.
[01:51:02]  And they say, that's serious.
[01:51:04]  And they say Cock Glover in the rear.
[01:51:08]  And it's a crewed mission, you know, C R U D E. They're always doing these funny word things.
[01:51:14]  I think it's a fertility ritual.
[01:51:15]  I think they have Osiris's penis and they throw it in the sky, and everyone gets ready to.
[01:51:21]  And it was on April Fool's Day.
[01:51:22]  You know, I think it's a fun, festive time.
[01:51:26]  And it's funny how they're like, We're going back to the moon.
[01:51:29]  And I'm like, Are you bringing your golf clubs?
[01:51:31]  And they're like, No, we're just going around it.
[01:51:34]  And it's just like, Why don't you guys go back?
[01:51:37]  And they're like, Because we don't have the technology anymore.
[01:51:41]  And I suspect the technology has to do with, you know, with. film production.
[01:51:47]  I don't think it has anything to do with traveling anywhere, you know?
[01:51:51]  And I love how they always do this thing when they have the.
[01:51:54]  Because it's like, oh, we can't send you any feeds.
[01:51:57]  We can't send you any footage, nothing.
[01:51:59]  And then we can pop into Fox News and show you something floating just so you know we're up here.
[01:52:04]  But other than that, we can't really help you with anything.
[01:52:07]  And this is the one, too.
[01:52:08]  It's like, you know, you start to go down these.
[01:52:12]  It's like, how do you measure?
[01:52:13]  For you, it's different.
[01:52:15]  You people can debate whether you're trying to be funny or not.
[01:52:18]  But for me, it's like, okay, how do you tell somebody that the moon landing was fake that really buys into it?
[01:52:24]  Like, how do you.
[01:52:25]  How do you tell somebody that NASA is mostly a money laundering operation and a cover for other operations without them like taking that personally?
[01:52:34]  Well, I happen to be an expert at this exact thing because for years I was trying to show people this and they just get mad at me.
[01:52:42]  And I do actually value relationships and all that.
[01:52:45]  So, what I do now is I'm excited that we did it, but the it is faking it.
[01:52:53]  I'm like, you know, that's American excellence that we convinced people we went to the moon.
[01:52:58]  And I, I kind of just bridge the gap with, like, yeah, like what a great stunt we did.
[01:53:04]  You know, that we had Vietnam, we're getting off the gold standard, America's falling apart.
[01:53:11]  And we, you know, united everybody with this fun event.
[01:53:18]  And they can't really get mad because I'm not taking anything from them.
[01:53:25]  You know, because sometimes people feel like, oh, you're taking away our greatest accomplishment.
[01:53:29]  I'm like, Your greatest accomplishment should be like being a father or something, you know, like something that happened 60 years ago that you can't recreate.
[01:53:37]  Like, that sounds very demoralizing.
[01:53:40]  So that's typically how I handle it.
[01:53:42]  I also congratulate people on their moon launch as if it's like another religion, like a Jewish friend, like happy Passover to you, you know, or it's like, yeah, happy Artemis.
[01:53:54]  Yeah, happy Artemis.
[01:53:55]  You know, I hear you guys are celebrating another successful launch, you know, and it's like Halloween for a kid.
[01:54:03]  You're like, oh, happy Halloween.
[01:54:05]  You know, here's some candy.
[01:54:07]  And if you just see it like it's a fun thing for them to do, it's like Halloween for adults.
[01:54:12]  And You know, you don't have to corner them and tell them that they're retarded because that's what I did for years.
[01:54:17]  And, you know, people got mad.
[01:54:21]  Well, I am curious.
[01:54:22]  You brought up the relationship stuff, and I think a lot of people think this way.
[01:54:28]  I assume you think this way.
[01:54:30]  This is how I approach things, which is like, hey, when you're in media, whatever the enterprise is, it's always going to be messy.
[01:54:37]  There's always going to be relationships.
[01:54:38]  There's always going to be broken relationships.
[01:54:40]  There's always going to be this person that hates this person or has beef with this person.
[01:54:43]  And it's like, you can't even.
[01:54:44]  It's like, can I just walk around with my own baggage?
[01:54:47]  You know, like I don't need everybody else's baggage, but it kind of happens.
[01:54:51]  You know, you've kind of weaved in and out of this stuff.
[01:54:56]  How often is it that people will take something personally?
[01:54:59]  Because you, you know, you're no holds barred.
[01:55:02]  Are you able to kind of do, let's say, some comedy aimed at somebody?
[01:55:06]  Like, here's an example.
[01:55:08]  You recently did some funny ballads on Ian Carroll.
[01:55:14]  I like Ian.
[01:55:15]  I like Ian.
[01:55:16]  I've talked to him.
[01:55:16]  I've grown to like Ian too.
[01:55:18]  Yeah.
[01:55:19]  So, but I'm curious when you do stuff like that, like, do people appreciate it?
[01:55:23]  Do they find it funny?
[01:55:24]  Do they take it personally?
[01:55:26]  How do you kind of manage that as somebody that does value relationships?
[01:55:30]  Well, that's sometimes how I figure out if I like the person or not.
[01:55:34]  It's because I don't mock someone's identity, or I do something where I'm just kind of razzing them.
[01:55:42]  And one of the societal benefits, where if someone's getting influence or power or something like that, you want to know if they're narcissistic.
[01:55:51]  Like, can they handle a joke, like a good riff?
[01:55:54]  You know, it's like, like I've had people do impressions of me that are genuinely funny, like totally making fun of me.
[01:55:59]  And I love it, you know?
[01:56:01]  But, um, And so Ian handled it well.
[01:56:06]  Ian was a good sport about it.
[01:56:07]  And it actually made me think he was like a pretty cool dude because, you know, I'm just talking about that he's got the gay twinkle and the Freddy stash and he's a wean watcher and all the jingle.
[01:56:19]  No, because I'm not.
[01:56:20]  Yeah, because I'm not making like factual statements.
[01:56:23]  I was calling him like a wean watcher, a hammer hugger.
[01:56:28]  And I'm not saying like, oh, I have the secret documents that he's literally a gay guy.
[01:56:34]  It's just he has a twinkly smirk.
[01:56:36]  And I was just kind of razzing them.
[01:56:39]  It's kind of like Candace Owens.
[01:56:41]  I was making fun of that her husband found her on Safari and bought her from a tribe and all that.
[01:56:48]  And she handled that real.
[01:56:50]  Like, I'm not like a fan of Candace Owens' show.
[01:56:53]  I'm like, because the whole thing is like, are you going to freak out or not?
[01:56:58]  You know, because if you knew your husband for two weeks, like, I'm going to make fun of that.
[01:57:05]  He's a British lord.
[01:57:07]  And you're, you know, black.
[01:57:09]  You were part of like Blegsit.
[01:57:10]  So it's like, it's all identity, you know?
[01:57:12]  Like, I don't even know what black means in the end of the day.
[01:57:15]  Are you Jamaican?
[01:57:16]  Are you?
[01:57:17]  So, you know, and I did a bit on Twitter about how, like, I can't tell if her husband's gay because I can't tell if British people are gay.
[01:57:26]  I like because of the accent, I assume they're all gay.
[01:57:29]  And she was laughing.
[01:57:30]  And I'm like, oh, I'm glad you're getting more influence because if you can laugh at things like that, then you're probably not some type of tyrant.
[01:57:40]  And that's kind of my job.
[01:57:41]  And I do it with every group.
[01:57:42]  I mean, it's just I get a lot more coverage about the Jew stuff because they can't handle it.
[01:57:48]  Like, they're the one group that freaks the fuck out.
[01:57:51]  Like, you can do the most benign thing and the ADL will just spiral.
[01:57:55]  Although I have a lot of Jewish listeners that really enjoy the jokes, but like, I make fun of people from Idaho.
[01:58:01]  I make fun of just any group.
[01:58:03]  You know, I used to be a heckler to Renaissance Festival where people would throw tomatoes at me.
[01:58:07]  And I learned that it's not what is, it's what someone has pride in.
[01:58:12]  Or what someone's claimed identity is.
[01:58:15]  And I just look at the artifacts on their body, like how they're presenting themselves, like what they have shame in.
[01:58:22]  And the comedian's job is almost to release the shame.
[01:58:25]  It's almost like being a masseuse.
[01:58:27]  And so, you know, maybe in the past I've come across as mean or something, but I really don't have negative emotions about any of this shit, you know?
[01:58:36]  And so, as far as like Ian and Candace go, like they've actually impressed me with how they were just funny and.
[01:58:44]  You know, they just got the joke and now I think they're cool people.
[01:58:48]  You know what I think that is?
[01:58:49]  I think my psychological analysis of that is it's all about confidence.
[01:58:54]  It's like if you're confident in who you are and what you do, then you really don't care.
[01:58:59]  Whereas if you're not confident, if you're weak or you're a fraud or you're a phony, comedy is what ends up exposing you.
[01:59:04]  You know, comedy is kind of your Achilles' heel in that moment.
[01:59:07]  That's what can bring you down when it's tethered to reality.
[01:59:10]  That's why with Trump and SNL, the change is so palpable.
[01:59:14]  It wasn't funny.
[01:59:15]  It wasn't tethered to reality.
[01:59:17]  It couldn't hurt Trump.
[01:59:18]  Now it is.
[01:59:19]  Now it is funny.
[01:59:19]  It is tethered to reality.
[01:59:20]  It can hurt Trump.
[01:59:21]  And so that's kind of the dynamic I think that you're getting into here.
[01:59:24]  And, you know, I have certain rules on how I deal with it.
[01:59:27]  I'm like, my rules are I never draw first blood.
[01:59:31]  This is if somebody attacks me or, you know, comes after me, whatever.
[01:59:34]  I never draw first blood.
[01:59:35]  I'll always invite you on my show.
[01:59:36]  If you don't take the invite, then I roast you once and I'm over it and I move on.
[01:59:40]  It's not worth it.
[01:59:41]  But most of it to me is funny.
[01:59:43]  I find it funny, the people that, You know, have decided now that they're going to put me on lists and, you know, shit on me.
[01:59:49]  I find it funny.
[01:59:50]  I actually kind of find it entertaining.
[01:59:52]  I don't know.
[01:59:53]  I guess it's like self deprecation in a way.
[01:59:55]  It's a compliment, too.
[01:59:57]  It's a compliment.
[01:59:58]  It's like, look at this person crashing out over me.
[02:00:00]  Like, I don't even know who you are.
[02:00:02]  You're here, like, your life is ruined because of something I said.
[02:00:05]  It's like, dude, you can just tune out.
[02:00:07]  Dude, it's totally a compliment.
[02:00:09]  I mean, my book's already been copied by, and it's presented Omen Benjamin.
[02:00:16]  And it's like, and they're trying, because it's selling well.
[02:00:20]  Yeah.
[02:00:20]  And so I take it as a compliment.
[02:00:22]  People were spiraling about it.
[02:00:23]  I'm like, that's cool.
[02:00:24]  You know, if SNL makes fun of you, if, like, I know some of the writers and the people on SNL, and I'm not going to say who or what this is about, but they were like, someone was pitching to make fun of someone.
[02:00:37]  And Lauren was like, no, we're not going to give that person that credit.
[02:00:42]  Because it's actually credit to be made fun of.
[02:00:45]  It's like it means you're part of this, uh, part of the big show, you know?
[02:00:48]  And yeah, and so, yeah, I mean, that's that's kind of what it is.
[02:00:51]  And if you're totally wrong, like how they used to make fun of Trump was like not in reality, so it didn't really work, you know?
[02:00:58]  And that's what I, I Trump derangement syndrome was, where you're pretending he's doing something he's not, but then once he starts doing that, like a thing to make fun of, now it's effective.
[02:01:10]  And now you have two options you either Keep doubling down, or you just laugh at it and be like, Yeah, it's pretty funny.
[02:01:17]  And that's always the move.
[02:01:18]  You know what I mean?
[02:01:20]  Oman Benjamin.
[02:01:21]  I mean, that is funny.
[02:01:22]  Oman Benjamin.
[02:01:23]  Yeah, yeah.
[02:01:23]  And that's probably some Indian trying to make some money based on people that made the mistake and buy it.
[02:01:29]  You know?
[02:01:30]  It's actually, yeah, it's a compliment that people are mean.
[02:01:33]  Oman Benjamin.
[02:01:35]  Yeah.
[02:01:36]  So, yeah, people are making funny.
[02:01:37]  That's great.
[02:01:38]  And it's also like if someone has influence, you always want to know, can they handle a joke?
[02:01:43]  You know, and then there's things that aren't a joke where it's like you're trying to get someone kicked off a platform, you're like slandering them, you're trying to start a narrative so no one likes them.
[02:01:55]  That's a lot different than just to make fun of someone's mannerisms or interesting things about their lives, you know, or their claimed identity.
[02:02:04]  Yeah, that's lowbrow.
[02:02:05]  That's micro mark type.
[02:02:07]  That's micro mark style of approaching things.
[02:02:11]  Well, we've already got you for an hour.
[02:02:12]  You said you had an hour.
[02:02:13]  I got a couple more things if you got a little more time for us today.
[02:02:15]  Yeah, I got a little time.
[02:02:17]  I'd like to do two things.
[02:02:18]  I'd like to get the final thing off my desk, and then I'm going to ask you to do something.
[02:02:21]  But first, let's go to this.
[02:02:23]  We've got a serious situation, actually, here, Owen.
[02:02:26]  We've got a dangerous situation.
[02:02:28]  We're going to need to call the ACLU.
[02:02:30]  We're going to need to call the ADL.
[02:02:33]  Pretty much anybody at this point needs to get involved in this investigation.
[02:02:38]  NHL fans being investigated for Nazi salute during the Stars game after shocking, shocking, Clip emerges and it looks like these guys are doing a Nazi salute.
[02:02:49]  I mean, I guess you could argue they are.
[02:02:50]  I don't know.
[02:02:51]  Leave it up to your own interpretation, whatever that is.
[02:02:56]  But they do this thing during stars games.
[02:02:58]  They have their own chant and they go, stars, stars.
[02:03:01]  And so normally, I guess it's supposed to be, you know, it's supposed to be the fist.
[02:03:06]  And these guys, you know, they went with the flat hand.
[02:03:08]  So there's an investigation underway here.
[02:03:11]  Do we do is an investigation warranted or do the stars maybe just own this and say, you know what?
[02:03:18]  We're going to make this a part of our game.
[02:03:19]  We're going to make This is a part of the stars hockey experience, you know, come here and throw a Roman.
[02:03:25]  Well, I think we're pretty close to people just doing that.
[02:03:28]  But I think they might be what I am, which is a height supremacist.
[02:03:33]  And so I like to do that, but it's just to show how tall someone has to be to be my friend.
[02:03:38]  You know, Hail Heitler, it's all about heights.
[02:03:41]  And that's why the roller coaster is such a prejudicial thing.
[02:03:45]  But I'm all about it.
[02:03:46]  Like, you cannot get on the roller coaster unless you're this high.
[02:03:50]  Yeah, I mean, that's all just ridiculous.
[02:03:52]  I mean, it's just so stupid that it's almost like hard to comment on.
[02:03:55]  You know, it's like, They also could be playing a big game of rock, paper, scissors.
[02:04:00]  We have black power, which is rock, and then the paper is how you beat the rock.
[02:04:05]  And then, you know, the hippies with the scissors, which are lesbians.
[02:04:10]  It doesn't, I mean, I think Jewish paranoia is getting pretty ridiculous, but I think it's that's one way to put it.
[02:04:17]  But it's not, I mean, it's a small group, you know.
[02:04:21]  I mean, most Jews I know really don't like the ADL.
[02:04:24]  Like the way it works is the ADL kind of kicks the hornet's nest and tries to scare Jews into giving them money.
[02:04:31]  And I think it's getting harder and harder to do that, you know?
[02:04:35]  And so, I mean, I don't even know what happens.
[02:04:39]  I mean, what happens when people are just like, they're trying to get someone fired for doing this?
[02:04:45]  We're going to ban you from the NHL.
[02:04:47]  You're banned.
[02:04:48]  You can't go to a hockey game.
[02:04:51]  I mean, that's just fucking so stupid.
[02:04:54]  It's like, I don't even know what.
[02:04:55]  Yeah, it's like the NHL.
[02:04:57]  You know, it was a bad conversation.
[02:04:59]  But with the NHL, run by a Jewish American, by the way, that's who runs the NHL.

=== ADL Money Scare Tactics (16:13) ===

[02:05:05]  Imagine this conversation.
[02:05:06]  Hey, guys, you want to go to the hockey game night?
[02:05:08]  Sorry, man, I'm banned.
[02:05:09]  Oh, how'd you get banned?
[02:05:12]  Well, I may or may not have done a Hitler salute, I guess.
[02:05:15]  I'm banned.
[02:05:16]  Yeah, it's like, but aren't you Italian?
[02:05:18]  Yeah, it's a Roman salute.
[02:05:20]  Because, you know, Hitler was a bit of a hack where he took the swastika from.
[02:05:27]  You know, that was out of India and out of the East.
[02:05:29]  I mean, swastika is old as fuck.
[02:05:32]  And also, you know, this was Roman.
[02:05:35]  You know, that was a centurion thing where they'd be like, you know, Caligula.
[02:05:41]  And then, so I think there was a lot of, in the comedy world, that would be like being a joke thief, you know?
[02:05:48]  But he did have Hugo Boss to design his shit pretty well.
[02:05:52]  That was some pretty tight threads.
[02:05:54]  Here's what I want to do.
[02:05:55]  Would you like to do an interview with President Trump right now?
[02:05:58]  Sure.
[02:05:59]  That's what I'd like to do.
[02:06:00]  I'd like for Owen Benjamin to interview President Trump.
[02:06:03]  So let me give him a call real quick.
[02:06:05]  Okay.
[02:06:06]  Get him on the line here.
[02:06:07]  All right.
[02:06:09]  Do you want me to be Barack Obama?
[02:06:13]  You can be whoever you want to be.
[02:06:15]  That's the beauty of this country.
[02:06:17]  You can be whoever you want to be.
[02:06:19]  The only rule is that you.
[02:06:21]  Have to support Israel.
[02:06:22]  That's really the only rule here.
[02:06:24]  So, however, you want to conduct this interview, you go ahead.
[02:06:27]  Well, hello.
[02:06:29]  Hello, Donald.
[02:06:30]  It's Barack Obama.
[02:06:32]  Yes, Barack.
[02:06:33]  My wife is very familiar with your work, like spying on me.
[02:06:36]  Very familiar.
[02:06:38]  I heard you said that my wife, Michelle, has a penis and that it's big and it's long.
[02:06:43]  And it's a big, long penis.
[02:06:45]  Does Melanie have a penis?
[02:06:48]  Well, first of all, let me address the.
[02:06:52]  Michelle, we call her Big Mike, where I'm from, Big Mike.
[02:06:57]  And the only reason, the only reason, Barack, why I ever say something like that is I tried to make a move.
[02:07:05]  I'm going to be honest.
[02:07:06]  I tried to make a move.
[02:07:08]  I went after Michelle one night and we got the second base and it wasn't a base.
[02:07:15]  It was a pull, it was a shaft.
[02:07:17]  So that's where that comes from.
[02:07:19]  As far as Melania is concerned, you know what?
[02:07:21]  I haven't had action from Melania in so long.
[02:07:24]  I don't even know.
[02:07:25]  I actually am not even sure anymore.
[02:07:28]  Really, don't even know.
[02:07:30]  Yes, Michelle told me you had a little jungle fever and you touched the shaft.
[02:07:36]  Listen, Donnie, what's up with you and the juice?
[02:07:38]  They always want to bomb a ramp.
[02:07:40]  Why'd you agree?
[02:07:40]  I mean, they're crazy, bloodthirsty Dremels.
[02:07:44]  Do they own you?
[02:07:46]  Well, there's two answers to this.
[02:07:48]  One is money.
[02:07:51]  Very simple.
[02:07:53]  Tons of money.
[02:07:54]  Okay.
[02:07:55]  It's very true.
[02:07:56]  So much money that you can't say no.
[02:07:59]  No, but the other answer to that is it's not a good one, but it's called the Epstein Files.
[02:08:06]  I'm all over them.
[02:08:07]  It's true.
[02:08:08]  All over them.
[02:08:09]  I didn't do anything wrong.
[02:08:11]  Okay.
[02:08:11]  Never did anything wrong, but I'm in the files.
[02:08:14]  I hung out with Jeffrey quite a bit and Howard Lutnick.
[02:08:18]  He was down at the island.
[02:08:19]  He lied about that.
[02:08:20]  Oh, boy.
[02:08:21]  Not so good.
[02:08:22]  So, if I don't take their stacks of cash, they're going to release the files.
[02:08:27]  And so, I can't do it, Barack.
[02:08:30]  I'm up against it here, Barack.
[02:08:31]  Can't do it.
[02:08:33]  Listen, the way I got to run that is number one, I'm black.
[02:08:37]  Crack cocaine and Kit Kats are very cheap.
[02:08:40]  I don't need very much money to get some Kit Kats, a little crack cocaine, a little Larry Sinclair, oral sex.
[02:08:46]  And number two, black people can't swim.
[02:08:49]  We don't go to an island because we sink like a rock.
[02:08:52]  And that's why I avoided.
[02:08:54]  Your chef knows something about that, right?
[02:08:56]  Your chef?
[02:08:57]  I think he knows.
[02:08:58]  Well, if he did know, he will not be saying a word because Michelle's big hardcock kept him under the water for about seven minutes.
[02:09:08]  Wow.
[02:09:08]  That's a big hog.
[02:09:10]  That's a big one.
[02:09:12]  I've seen bigger.
[02:09:14]  I yell at her and sometimes get pretty scary because you call her Big Mike, I call her Medium Mike.
[02:09:21]  Well, I was actually considering it.
[02:09:24]  I have to be honest.
[02:09:26]  I was, I got to second base.
[02:09:28]  I found something I wasn't expecting.
[02:09:30]  And I was thinking about it.
[02:09:32]  And I said, I'm kosher now.
[02:09:34]  I can't have pork.
[02:09:36]  Okay.
[02:09:36]  Can't have hog.
[02:09:37]  So couldn't do it.
[02:09:38]  But I thought about it.
[02:09:39]  I will tell you, I thought about it.
[02:09:41]  If it's Bill Clinton, I say, okay.
[02:09:44]  But that was not kosher.
[02:09:45]  No, it wasn't kosher.
[02:09:48]  How'd you get old Wild Bill to suck you off?
[02:09:51]  I tried making that move many times.
[02:09:54]  Hillary would hit me with a squatter.
[02:09:56]  How'd you get past Hillary?
[02:09:59]  Well, they tricked me.
[02:10:00]  I have to be honest.
[02:10:02]  They tricked me.
[02:10:03]  They Monica Lewinsky'd me, you might say.
[02:10:06]  But I was expecting something different.
[02:10:08]  It seems to be the trend with me.
[02:10:10]  You expect one thing, you get something different.
[02:10:13]  So I thought it was going to be someone else with a vacuum cleaner for a mouth.
[02:10:18]  And it ended up being a former president.
[02:10:21]  I had no idea what was going on.
[02:10:24]  But by the time I figured it out, I said, he's not bad.
[02:10:28]  You know, he's not bad.
[02:10:30]  So we're going to let him finish the job.
[02:10:32]  And we'll sort it out afterwards.
[02:10:34]  So, not sure if he was as good as Monica.
[02:10:37]  Maybe that's where he got the skills.
[02:10:39]  But we let him finish.
[02:10:40]  We let him finish the job.
[02:10:41]  We did.
[02:10:42]  Last question.
[02:10:44]  What the fuck happened to Dan Boyndingo?
[02:10:46]  It seems like you got him to lose his mind.
[02:10:50]  He's gone nuts.
[02:10:51]  What happened with old Danny Boyndingo?
[02:10:54]  You know, we like Dan.
[02:10:56]  We still like Dan.
[02:10:57]  I didn't know him that well, honestly.
[02:11:00]  If I had, I probably would have gotten nowhere near him.
[02:11:03]  I mean, nowhere.
[02:11:05]  I'm not so sure his wife wants to be anywhere either.
[02:11:08]  Might be a problem.
[02:11:08]  But, you know, he does one thing really well, and that's praise me and worship me.
[02:11:15]  And he does that as good as anyone, really, maybe the best.
[02:11:18]  And so when somebody is that loyal to you, no matter how psychotic they are, just look at Laura.
[02:11:24]  Oh, my God.
[02:11:26]  No matter how psychotic they are, if they're willing to get on their knees and praise me 24 7, we'll always have room for them.
[02:11:32]  We'll always have room.
[02:11:34]  No, but I think Dan has some.
[02:11:36]  Anger issues, quite frankly, some anger issues, maybe some other issues as well.
[02:11:41]  And he got in there.
[02:11:42]  He was what we call a true believer.
[02:11:45]  He really thought he was going to drain the swamp.
[02:11:47]  I'll tell you, it's funny.
[02:11:48]  He really thought he was going to get in there and make deep state arrests.
[02:11:51]  So it was kind of a funny job, but he was never going to do it.
[02:11:55]  We were never going to let him do it.
[02:11:56]  So he had to go back and he had to go home and cry to mommy.
[02:11:59]  He had to go home and cry to mommy because he couldn't get any arrests.
[02:12:03]  So now he's on his show crashing out every day, but he still supports me.
[02:12:07]  And that's the most important thing, Barack.
[02:12:08]  It's the most important.
[02:12:10]  Well, it's been great talking to you.
[02:12:12]  I'm about to go hang out with a young fella named Clavicular.
[02:12:16]  He says he can pound on my bones.
[02:12:19]  It's been real.
[02:12:20]  Well, it's not the bone pounding you're looking for, but I wish you the best, Barack.
[02:12:25]  It's been great catching up with you.
[02:12:26]  You know, you're a great American no matter what I say.
[02:12:29]  Great American.
[02:12:34]  That was a good time.
[02:12:36]  There's your clip, guys.
[02:12:37]  Go ahead.
[02:12:39]  What do we call this?
[02:12:40]  The Owen tag team, Owen squared.
[02:12:42]  This is the best conversation between Owens in the history of the internet.
[02:12:47]  That is true.
[02:12:48]  Yeah, this has been quite an Owen spectacular.
[02:12:52]  It's been because there's not a lot of us.
[02:12:54]  I guess there's more Owens now that are young.
[02:12:58]  It's getting more popular now.
[02:12:59]  Yeah.
[02:13:00]  Yeah.
[02:13:00]  Back when I was a kid, I might as well have been named like.
[02:13:03]  Tyrone, or it was like almost like there was one other guy and he was black.
[02:13:08]  Yeah, no, the only other Owen I ever knew was a black dude.
[02:13:12]  Really, I've never met a black Owen.
[02:13:14]  That's a rare, that's like an ultra rare.
[02:13:17]  Well, dude, my name's Owen Benjamin Smith.
[02:13:19]  There's an Owen Smith comedian in the Screen Actors Guild.
[02:13:23]  And when I was first in Hollywood, it was like this whole thing where everyone's like, you can't be Owen Smith.
[02:13:28]  There's an Owen Smith.
[02:13:29]  And I'm like, ah, and I'm like, but I don't, I never heard of the guy.
[02:13:33]  They're like, ah, he's in the Screen Actors Guild.
[02:13:35]  And he's also really tall, but he's black.
[02:13:39]  And so I was like, maybe I can be white Owen Smith.
[02:13:42]  And but that comes across as weird because if it was like black Jerry Seinfeld, everyone knows that.
[02:13:49]  But it would almost seem like I was just leaning into the white shit.
[02:13:53]  So I just went middle name.
[02:13:54]  Yeah.
[02:13:55]  You know, when I started to get national notoriety, I thought about changing my name to Owen Eagle, but I didn't want to insult my ancestors that thought I might be running from the name.
[02:14:05]  So I just stuck with the Schroyer name.
[02:14:07]  But you know, you always consider that whenever you kind of get.
[02:14:09]  To a threshold where it's like, no, you're going to do this for the rest of your life.
[02:14:13]  Do you want to stick with this name or do you want to change it up?
[02:14:16]  Some people decide to change it.
[02:14:17]  All right, Owen.
[02:14:18]  Well, this has been a blast.
[02:14:19]  I'm going to let you go dive in the river and hunt salmon or whatever it is you guys do.
[02:14:22]  Where can people get your book?
[02:14:25]  Where can people follow your work?
[02:14:27]  Yeah, How to Slay a Wizard.
[02:14:28]  You can get it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble right now.
[02:14:31]  It's currently a bestseller on Amazon.
[02:14:34]  And I hope you guys enjoy it.
[02:14:36]  And ladle.tv is where all my videos are.
[02:14:40]  It's $9.11 a month because.
[02:14:43]  That's the one charge that will make you laugh every month.
[02:14:48]  Like you'll just see 9 11.
[02:14:49]  It's pretty funny.
[02:14:50]  And it has, you know, my own servers and it has everything I've ever done, all my comedy specials.
[02:14:55]  I do a live stream almost every day, I have almost 3,000.
[02:15:00]  And so those are the two places.
[02:15:03]  And owenbenjamin.com is my website.
[02:15:06]  Do you ever get on tour anymore?
[02:15:11]  I did a tour.
[02:15:12]  I've been taping a special once a year at the land I own in Missouri, but I might start touring again.
[02:15:20]  I think the heat's kind of off me like it was before.
[02:15:23]  I used to get banned from every theater, it was like insane.
[02:15:25]  And now it's all different now because it's all different.
[02:15:29]  Yeah, it's all different.
[02:15:30]  When I first launched my new independent show here, and I was kind of like, okay, how am I going to fund it?
[02:15:36]  All the different behind the scenes stuff when you're going to launch a show, launch a business.
[02:15:40]  I'm talking to those people who are like, listen, and you know, you always have to think about the potentials here, but really the whole landscape has changed.
[02:15:48]  Nobody's really afraid of controversial content anymore.
[02:15:50]  Nobody's really running from, you know, accusations that people may make about you.
[02:15:56]  So that's, that's good for now.
[02:15:59]  I did, I did do, you know, the Nephilim Death Squad guys, like Top Lobster and those guys, they had me on a show in Florida and it was me and Sam Tripley and some other guys and they canceled it because I was on it.
[02:16:10]  And it's like, no one can even explain why.
[02:16:12]  Like, I'm not, I don't even, I have no criminal record.
[02:16:15]  I don't even go hard in the paint.
[02:16:17]  I think part of it is because I'm so into the solution aspect that, like, I might be on some fucking list, but I still think that I could, I could tour again now.
[02:16:26]  It, the landscape has changed.
[02:16:28]  But, but before I would sell my own tickets and get canceled last minute over and over again.
[02:16:33]  And so that's when I start getting decentralized and I would, um, I would perform it at like listeners' warehouses or farms and shit.
[02:16:41]  And, you know, that's when I saw that there really isn't any power.
[02:16:45]  It's like, They can't really make us do shit.
[02:16:47]  We just can't use their stuff.
[02:16:49]  Yeah.
[02:16:50]  Well, I think it'd be great to see you back on a stage.
[02:16:53]  Yeah, I'd enjoy it too.
[02:16:54]  It's your natural element.
[02:16:55]  You know, you got to get into your natural element every once in a while, even if you do take some well deserved or needed time off.
[02:17:02]  So if that ever happens, let me know because I'd love to get a chance to see you on a stage.
[02:17:07]  Absolutely, man.
[02:17:08]  All right.
[02:17:09]  Thanks for having me.
[02:17:10]  Absolutely.
[02:17:10]  That was fun.
[02:17:10]  Owen Benjamin back into the woods.
[02:17:12]  He goes sending Goliath back to the woods.
[02:17:15]  Okay.
[02:17:16]  We went long that hour.
[02:17:17]  We're going to take a short break.
[02:17:18]  Come back.
[02:17:18]  I got some other news.
[02:17:19]  We may dive right into the super chats.
[02:17:21]  I need to see if I can reset my camera here.
[02:17:24]  And I'm actually getting a little concerned that my AC isn't working, or did I not set it down?
[02:17:30]  I'm getting a little heated here, too.
[02:17:33]  Not in the good way, not in the way that you like.
[02:17:36]  All right.
[02:17:38]  Let's hit the reset button.
[02:17:39]  We'll come back with your super chats.
[02:17:42]  You're listening to The Owen Report on the Wynn Network.

=== Reset Button Pressed (11:12) ===

[02:21:18]  It's the fastest three hours on the Internet.
[02:21:21]  It's the Owen Report with Owen Schroyer.
[02:21:40]  Here, wonder if they'll let me get away with that.
[02:21:45]  That's a little test run, yeah.
[02:22:06]  Okay, we got a little time left.
[02:22:08]  I do want to at least cover these other headlines.
[02:22:14]  I won't spend too much time on them, but we already got them up, so we might as well.
[02:22:25]  What all do we have left here?
[02:22:27]  Let's see.
[02:22:29]  Oh, they're dropping like flies, guys.
[02:22:33]  They're dropping like flies.
[02:22:37]  Former January 6th defendant turned DOJ senior advisor resigns, says Deep State Rot 2 entrenched to expose from within.
[02:22:48]  That is Jared Wise.
[02:22:51]  I actually have his statement here as well.
[02:22:55]  He put out this statement.
[02:22:57]  Today I resigned from my position at the U.S. Department of Justice.
[02:23:00]  I returned to Washington to fully expose the abuses by the FBI and DOJ against January 6th defendants, but it became clear that this will only happen from outside government.
[02:23:11]  So I left.
[02:23:12]  And we'll do so.
[02:23:14]  Now, I'm not going to get too much into the statement other than to say I've had other similar things expressed to me from people who are way closer.
[02:23:24]  This is within the January 6th community, from people who are way closer to the situation than I am, as far as DC handling this.
[02:23:34]  And everybody's slowly reaching the same conclusion.
[02:23:37]  And there were kind of some bitter clingers left thinking we'll get something eventually.
[02:23:42]  We got to stick around, we'll get prioritized eventually.
[02:23:45]  We got to stick around.
[02:23:46]  He's not going to forget about us.
[02:23:47]  We got to stick around.
[02:23:49]  And now all of them are realizing, yeah, it ain't happening.
[02:23:52]  It ain't happening.
[02:23:53]  And now who knows if this is true?
[02:23:57]  Because you get so much propaganda out of D.C. Apparently, they're saying Trump was upset with Bondi, and they're phrasing it as Bondi didn't do the revenge persecutions.
[02:24:17]  Revenge prosecutions, whatever.
[02:24:19]  We all look at that as justice, you know, deep state arrests, draining the swamp, and Bondi wouldn't do it.
[02:24:24]  Apparently, Trump was mad at her for that.
[02:24:27]  Who knows what's true?
[02:24:30]  Who knows what's true?
[02:24:31]  I think Bondi, that could be true.
[02:24:33]  I think it could be true, but I think if that is true, then Trump has been waiting to fire her for a while, and he just decided to do it now because of the disaster speech, and he needed a reason to get distractions off of the results of that speech earlier this week.
[02:24:48]  So, It's still in the news.
[02:24:51]  And then there was that image of the photo of Bondi in the trash can that they claimed was at the DOJ, and the DOJ said it wasn't.
[02:24:59]  So Bondi out.
[02:25:03]  Trump's lawyer Blanche is in.
[02:25:05]  Blanche comes out, says, We're not doing anything with the Epstein files.
[02:25:09]  So that's what you got for the new attorney general, which I don't think will surprise anybody.
[02:25:15]  But apparently, as I predicted, it's just the beginning.
[02:25:19]  Exit of Trump officials, including FBI director under discussion, Atlantic reports.
[02:25:23]  The original story was in the Atlantic.
[02:25:25]  It was behind a paywall, I think.
[02:25:26]  So I pulled up the one from Reuters.
[02:25:29]  There are discussions about FBI Director Kash Patel, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, Labor Secretary Laurie Chavez de Reemer leaving the Trump administration.
[02:25:40]  And I will say the sources at the Atlantic were not as strong as the sources that were reporting the Bondi departure.
[02:25:49]  Like those, that was like, it's like I knew that that was true.
[02:25:53]  I wouldn't be surprised if this was true.
[02:25:55]  I'm not so convinced.
[02:25:56]  You're hearing similar things about Gabbard.
[02:25:58]  Who knows at this point?
[02:25:59]  But I do think something big is happening.
[02:26:03]  And by the way, more proof to that.
[02:26:08]  Hegseth's wartime firing of top generals stuns officials.
[02:26:12]  It's insane.
[02:26:12]  Now, I think Hegseth is probably just doing this because Trump is telling him.
[02:26:17]  And he's just saying, anybody who won't support this war or anybody who pushes back on this war, just fire them.
[02:26:23]  Just get rid of them.
[02:26:24]  We don't need them.
[02:26:25]  And Hegseth is probably executing that.
[02:26:29]  That's my guess as to what's going on.
[02:26:33]  But I said it after Bongino.
[02:26:37]  I said, If Bongino's out, the floodgates will eventually open.
[02:26:42]  And then Kent broke the barriers.
[02:26:45]  And I think the floodgates are opening.
[02:26:46]  So whether they get fired, whether they quit, I think there's a major shakeup.
[02:26:51]  I think Trump wants to do it before the midterms.
[02:26:55]  And maybe he figures this might help with the midterms.
[02:27:00]  I don't think it would, but he might believe that.
[02:27:02]  Anything, you know, anything to help at this point.
[02:27:05]  So my guess is all these people getting fired out of the military, maybe even the administration, they're not into the war.
[02:27:12]  They don't like the false narrative.
[02:27:15]  And it's just like, hey, get out then.
[02:27:18]  Just leave.
[02:27:19]  We'll bring somebody in that will lie with us.
[02:27:21]  We'll bring somebody in that will repeat our lies and support this war that I promised I wouldn't get us into.
[02:27:29]  That's how I interpret it.
[02:27:34]  Now, if you try to report on the war in other countries, you could end up in jail.
[02:27:41]  That's right.
[02:27:43]  This is what one Brit figured out.
[02:27:46]  The Brit flight attendant who posted an airport drone attack photo and the London tourist who pictured an airstrike, both now facing up to two years in UAE jail for cyber crimes.
[02:27:57]  So they're not letting you share the war footage in a lot of different countries and places of interest in the Middle East.
[02:28:06]  Some people are ending up in jail, and it's all to control the narrative.
[02:28:10]  It's all narrative control.
[02:28:12]  Did you hear about this?
[02:28:18]  Ukrainian diplomat was busted at the border, smuggling $140,000 in cash, 12 kilograms of gold, and 14 kilograms of jewelry.
[02:28:32]  As Zelensky begs the West for endless billions, his diplomats are stuffing your tax dollars into suitcases and bolting.
[02:28:39]  Now, there have been dozens of these stories, and they always have American cash.
[02:28:43]  Now, here's the issue that we have.
[02:28:46]  I'm going to pull up this story.
[02:28:47]  It's obviously in Russian.
[02:28:48]  I'm aware of that.
[02:28:50]  This is the original source in a Russian news source.
[02:28:55]  Okay.
[02:28:56]  So here's the problem that we have trying to cover a lot of these stories as these wars are developing it's simple.
[02:29:03]  It's the language barrier.
[02:29:05]  It's the language barrier.
[02:29:06]  That's why it's really hard to figure out sometimes what goes on in the Middle East.
[02:29:09]  And that's why many of Americans go to Israeli news outlets like the Times of Israel, the Jerusalem Post.
[02:29:17]  You know, I try to get Middle East news, I try to get war news from those sources because they can break down that language barrier.
[02:29:23]  And they can kind of break down the narrative control that Western media tries to have over the current war.
[02:29:31]  But it's a lot harder to find sources that translate Russian news.
[02:29:37]  So maybe you go to RT, maybe go to Reuters.
[02:29:41]  But just in case, it's like, yeah, that's a real story.
[02:29:45]  And so I found the original source, but it's in Russian.
[02:29:50]  So you'd have to translate it.
[02:29:51]  But it did, Liz Churchill's coverage of it was accurate.
[02:29:55]  Seth Rich, a Seth Rich development today.
[02:29:58]  Breanna Morello reporting the FBI has just filed a motion to reject Ty Clevenger's discovery request in the Seth Rich FOIA case.
[02:30:09]  The FBI filed a motion for a protective order seeking to quash the plaintiff's broad discovery request served on March 4th, 2026, arguing that discovery is generally disfavored and inappropriate in FOIA litigation, absent evidence of bad faith.
[02:30:27]  Evidence of bad faith, well, yeah, we think there is.
[02:30:30]  Which the court has repeatedly found lacking in prior rulings.
[02:30:34]  So, this is bullshit.
[02:30:36]  The motion contends that the interrogatories and requests for production are overbroad, irrelevant to the underlying FOIA claims, unduly burdensome, and disproportionate, requesting the court to prohibit further discovery without its prior leave.
[02:30:55]  So, they're continuing to cover up the Seth Rich murder, is what that translates to.
[02:31:00]  Now, what's so.
[02:31:02]  X is, well, it's great.
[02:31:09]  The problem is, so when I went live, let me see if this is still true.
[02:31:14]  When I went live, I looked for any other news sources on this development.
[02:31:20]  No, none.
[02:31:21]  Still none.
[02:31:24]  Still none.
[02:31:27]  Now, there are some other Seth Rich headlines from recent, but none about that.
[02:31:32]  So it's this weird thing now where you have stories that break on X and are only exclusive on X, and no outlet picks them up.
[02:31:45]  And I guess, you know, you look at the independent journalists reporting this stuff, and it's if they don't have a website or they don't work for a news site, it just ends up on their account exclusively and it's nowhere else.
[02:31:58]  So stories like that get buried or like the previous story.
[02:32:02]  You're not hearing about the Ukrainian oligarchs stealing millions of dollars.
[02:32:07]  It doesn't make it to Western media.
[02:32:10]  And so this is why X is.
[02:32:15]  Very important.
[02:32:16]  I mean, there's no other way to say it.
[02:32:17]  It's a very important app.
[02:32:20]  And now more than ever, there's news that is exclusively on X and just doesn't make it anywhere else, which is wild to think.

=== Buried Oligarch Stories (14:48) ===

[02:32:30]  All right, I have some other data center news.
[02:32:34]  I don't think we need to hear that.
[02:32:36]  I don't think we need that today.
[02:32:38]  I don't think we need this today.
[02:32:40]  No, we can skip some of this other stuff.
[02:32:42]  We can go right to our super chats.
[02:32:45]  Oh boy, I don't even know if we want to play that.
[02:32:47]  I was going to play this after the hockey game because it's kind of funny.
[02:32:51]  Let's go to this real quickly.
[02:32:53]  Tim Burchett, who I think is one of the good guys, he's been saying some pretty wild things lately.
[02:33:00]  He was on OAN last night.
[02:33:01]  Listen to what he said Roswell, Area 51, Wright Patterson down in Dayton, my home state of Ohio.
[02:33:07]  We've been hearing about this stuff now for 70 years that we have it, we don't have it, that we've re engineered it, no, we haven't.
[02:33:14]  I know you can't talk about much because you're an active member, but just give me a wink.
[02:33:18]  Are we alone?
[02:33:20]  No, no, we're not.
[02:33:23]  Holy, wait a minute.
[02:33:24]  Did you, did I just, guys, did we just break that?
[02:33:27]  Wait a minute.
[02:33:28]  Is that April Fool's today, Tim?
[02:33:30]  No, no, it's second.
[02:33:32]  No, we are not alone.
[02:33:34]  We don't make all those movies up just because somebody's creative in Hollywood and knows how to write that.
[02:33:38]  No, they're getting this from somewhere.
[02:33:41]  Let me leave you with this one, Dad.
[02:33:43]  I was in a meeting and I'll just leave it at that.
[02:33:46]  It's a meeting because I have a lot of time.
[02:33:48]  Yeah, and.
[02:33:52]  If they told, if that was allowed to be told in the public, it would, the wheels would come off.
[02:34:01]  They would come off.
[02:34:04]  Because every detractor was put in their place.
[02:34:09]  I'll just leave it at that.
[02:34:12]  So, this is obviously some pretty heavy implications here, guys.
[02:34:18]  And I want to try to weigh the different.
[02:34:22]  Potential implications here.
[02:34:26]  So put down whatever you believe, and let's just look at what's happening.
[02:34:32]  You have multiple members of governments from all around the world now coming out and saying essentially, to put it simply, aliens exist.
[02:34:45]  Characterize that, classify that however you like.
[02:34:48]  That's what they're saying to us.
[02:34:49]  Aliens exist.
[02:34:51]  There is extraterrestrial life.
[02:34:53]  Forget about the specifics, all the other details.
[02:34:56]  They're saying it.
[02:34:57]  I mean, they're giving you the wink and the nod without showing you the damn alien.
[02:35:01]  They're saying, yes, aliens exist.
[02:35:03]  Okay.
[02:35:05]  Well, you're going to have people that are going to not believe this no matter what.
[02:35:08]  It feels like it's just building up to something inevitable, though.
[02:35:12]  It feels like we're going to get this alien reveal.
[02:35:16]  Whether it's real or fake, it feels like they are clearly building this up.
[02:35:21]  What's strange is, it's kind of like with this moon launch.
[02:35:26]  Nobody really cares.
[02:35:28]  It's like, does anybody even care?
[02:35:30]  It's like, hey, there's aliens.
[02:35:31]  We're not alone in this galaxy.
[02:35:32]  It's like, oh, okay, cool.
[02:35:33]  You know, whatever.
[02:35:34]  Is that because there's a genuine disinterest?
[02:35:37]  Is there just nobody believes it anymore?
[02:35:39]  Just we're desensitized because of the movies?
[02:35:45]  It's a nothing.
[02:35:47]  It's a nothing burger.
[02:35:50]  How is that?
[02:35:51]  How is it that we can do this moon lap, come out and say there's aliens, and it's a nothing burger?
[02:36:00]  Meanwhile, you got meteor showers and things falling out of the skies and UFOs and all of this crap on the news more than it's ever been, more videos than you've ever seen.
[02:36:10]  We're going back to space, doing a lap around the moon.
[02:36:13]  They're probably lying about that.
[02:36:15]  And then you get members of Congress and different governments around the world.
[02:36:17]  It's like, yep, there's aliens, there's extraterrestrials.
[02:36:20]  Okay.
[02:36:21]  So, what does it mean?
[02:36:21]  So, why is it a nothing?
[02:36:23]  How is it that people don't, they're not even moved by this?
[02:36:28]  I mean, folks, this is a.
[02:36:33]  What happens?
[02:36:33]  What happens when they do the alien reveal?
[02:36:38]  What happens?
[02:36:39]  Do we even blink?
[02:36:40]  Do we even care?
[02:36:41]  Do we even believe it?
[02:36:44]  After they do the alien reveal, what is the outcome?
[02:36:48]  What are they looking for?
[02:36:50]  One world government?
[02:36:53]  Are they looking to say, hey, see, religion is fake?
[02:36:58]  Here's the new knowledge that we have now.
[02:37:00]  Here's how we got here.
[02:37:01]  Here's how we were created, whatever it is.
[02:37:06]  Here's the expanded truth about you.
[02:37:11]  Where does it go?
[02:37:12]  Because it feels like now it's inevitable.
[02:37:15]  It feels like now they're going to do it.
[02:37:17]  Whether it's real or not, whether you believe it or not is a different story.
[02:37:20]  It feels like they're building up to this, though.
[02:37:23]  Now, Project Bluebeam is the famous.
[02:37:27]  You know, that's kind of the buzzword for it.
[02:37:30]  There's other projects that they have.
[02:37:34]  I could see a couple.
[02:37:35]  There's maybe three potentials of how they would do this.
[02:37:39]  They could probably do some sort of a display in the sky, whether it's holograms or drones or something else, and make it look like aliens.
[02:37:50]  So they could do it like that and then never really give us like, we can't ever like touch it or see it, but it's like, oh, wow, it's kind of this mystery deal.
[02:37:59]  They could start, and maybe they've already started doing this.
[02:38:02]  They could start sending secret aircraft and secret military technology up into the skies, up into space, get people to film it and create a big buzz, and then kind of drum that up like that's the aliens, but they know it's just military technology that we don't know about.
[02:38:18]  Or, and if they're going to do like, and this is the assumption that they're faking it, if they're going to do like a here's the alien situation, Then they could easily do some sort of a cloning type of technology or some sort of a mixing, you know, human DNA with lizard DNA or some other deal to create some abomination that obviously can't communicate.
[02:38:48]  Maybe it can walk.
[02:38:50]  And you just create this abomination in a lab.
[02:38:53]  It's just some monstrous looking thing.
[02:38:54]  And maybe you create a couple of them, drop them into the woods, let them roam around.
[02:39:01]  Make some fake crash site and then say, here's the aliens.
[02:39:06]  That might be a little more out of the ordinary, but I think these are the potentials.
[02:39:11]  I don't know.
[02:39:12]  I'm not really buying any of it, I have to say.
[02:39:15]  I'm not really buying any of it.
[02:39:18]  I think it's different if you see it.
[02:39:23]  It's like when I saw the stuff in the sky, like, okay, that interests me.
[02:39:27]  That makes me curious.
[02:39:29]  All right, that's part of some larger story.
[02:39:32]  I don't know.
[02:39:33]  I'm like, If they do it, it's got to be to bring in a world government.
[02:39:40]  It's got to be to bring in the one world government and say, okay, you know, there's a galactic government and we need to be the, you know, Earth government, whatever it is.
[02:39:48]  And so that'll make people skeptical.
[02:39:53]  I don't know.
[02:39:54]  It's the whole concept is weird.
[02:39:57]  The implications are heavy.
[02:39:59]  The potential outcomes are, I mean, game changing, totally game changing for everything.
[02:40:07]  I don't know.
[02:40:08]  If you ask me if I believe it right now, I say no.
[02:40:12]  I say no.
[02:40:12]  So, okay, so what are you saying?
[02:40:14]  The members of Congress and the government are being lied to or they're lying or what?
[02:40:18]  I don't know.
[02:40:18]  They could be seeing fake stuff.
[02:40:21]  They could be showing fake stuff to our government.
[02:40:25]  That happens.
[02:40:26]  Absolutely.
[02:40:28]  And it's also compartmentalized that it's like you'll never even know the source.
[02:40:35]  So, I don't know.
[02:40:36]  I'm not buying it.
[02:40:38]  I'm curious.
[02:40:39]  I'm going to follow it.
[02:40:41]  I think it's pretty heavy when you have people saying, I've seen the proof of aliens.
[02:40:45]  We're not alone.
[02:40:46]  It's pretty heavy.
[02:40:47]  But do you believe it?
[02:40:47]  Does it shake you?
[02:40:48]  Does it move you?
[02:40:49]  I don't know.
[02:40:50]  I'm not that moved.
[02:40:52]  It's like, oh, come on, man.
[02:40:56]  Can we at least fix our own country before you give us the alien stuff?
[02:41:01]  It's like, I'm a little embarrassed.
[02:41:04]  You know, I'm a little embarrassed the aliens come here.
[02:41:06]  We're all fat and stupid.
[02:41:07]  It's like, ugh.
[02:41:10]  Can we, like, hey, it's kind of like a woman, you know, getting good shape for the wedding type of thing.
[02:41:16]  I'm going to lose some weight.
[02:41:17]  I'm going to look good in my wedding day.
[02:41:20]  It's like, hey, you know, give us a little warning.
[02:41:21]  It's like, hey, the aliens are going to be here in six months.
[02:41:24]  So, you know, hit the gym.
[02:41:29]  Hey, the aliens are going to be here in six months.
[02:41:31]  So, like, learn how to read.
[02:41:35]  Maybe read a book.
[02:41:39]  Or maybe they already saw us and said, these people are nuts.
[02:41:45]  Let's just stay away.
[02:41:49]  But who knows?
[02:41:52]  It's all very strange.
[02:41:53]  Nobody trusts anything from the government.
[02:41:54]  I guess that's the problem.
[02:41:56]  And that's going to be their biggest hurdle leap, however, they decide to roll this deal out.
[02:42:01]  All right, last thing, and we'll do a little bonus time super chats today.
[02:42:06]  So you had Fishback was on Piers Morgan with, and how do they explain this girl?
[02:42:15]  An OnlyFans star.
[02:42:16]  I guess this is the top earner.
[02:42:18]  On this adult content site here.
[02:42:22]  And Fishback has been campaigning.
[02:42:25]  Sophie Raine is this girl's name.
[02:42:27]  Fishback has been campaigning.
[02:42:29]  And I guess they all live in Florida because it has the best taxes for the adult content creators.
[02:42:37]  And so I guess this is like the top.
[02:42:39]  This is like the top adult content.
[02:42:41]  This is like the top internet whore, basically.
[02:42:43]  This is the top internet stripper.
[02:42:46]  And so she's on Piers Morgan with Fishback.
[02:42:49]  And Fishback has said, we're going to rewrite the tax laws here.
[02:42:52]  And we're going to tax you guys at 50%.
[02:42:55]  Now, you can agree that.
[02:42:56]  You can agree with that.
[02:42:57]  You cannot agree with that.
[02:42:58]  But there's an exchange that happens here in this conversation that I think is worthy of covering here.
[02:43:03]  So let's check this out.
[02:43:04]  If you want to keep doing this, then we're going to take 50% of what you earn and we're going to use it to raise public school teacher pay.
[02:43:12]  Our public school teachers are not getting paid enough.
[02:43:15]  So here's an interesting conundrum right out of the gates, though.
[02:43:17]  Before we get into the other, what's going to happen here that makes me curious?
[02:43:23]  You know, if you're somebody that's a principled, You can say conservative government minimalist, however, you want to say it.
[02:43:30]  You're you don't want to hear about more taxes.
[02:43:32]  I don't care who it's about.
[02:43:34]  I don't care if it's about adult content creators.
[02:43:39]  I don't care if it's about a store that sells batteries.
[02:43:43]  Like, I don't want to hear about taxes.
[02:43:45]  I don't want to hear about more taxes.
[02:43:46]  We don't want to raise taxes.
[02:43:48]  We don't want any taxes.
[02:43:49]  So it's like you could take that stance and say, Oh, well, I disagree.
[02:43:52]  I disagree with this proposal on its face because I don't want to raise taxes.
[02:43:58]  But I think, even as somebody that's principled in that, you have to say, pragmatically speaking, this girl apparently makes $40 million a year to do a naked dance video or to have sex on camera.
[02:44:17]  And she's making $40 million a year.
[02:44:22]  And so, how can you say from a pragmatic standpoint, yeah, we're going to tax you 50%.
[02:44:26]  We're going to give that to people that actually help our community.
[02:44:30]  It's like, I don't like the sin tax.
[02:44:32]  We see these sin taxes.
[02:44:34]  It's like, yeah, I don't like taxes, but hmm, this girl makes $40 million as an internet whore.
[02:44:44]  50%, we can fund teachers and schools.
[02:44:46]  It's like, well, it's hard to take your principled stance there.
[02:44:53]  It's almost like you just want to say, you know what?
[02:44:54]  I'm just going to sit this one out.
[02:44:56]  I don't like more taxes, but you know what?
[02:45:00]  That's an interesting proposal.
[02:45:01]  You know, it's bringing a solution to a problem.
[02:45:05]  So, okay, that's just kind of the debate here.
[02:45:08]  But there's something that's going to be said during this conversation that to me is just like, see, now we're just not even being serious, people.
[02:45:14]  I'm going to use this as a resource to fund the empowerment of young women who have signed up to do something dignified, with all due respect, unlike you, and be a public school teacher, educating, inspiring, and motivating.
[02:45:25]  You know what, James?
[02:45:27]  You know what?
[02:45:28]  Here's what I would say I've got to end this debate.
[02:45:30]  Here's what I would say.
[02:45:31]  I've listened to both of you and you've both made good points.
[02:45:33]  But honestly, that last statement you made was so pompous and patronizing.
[02:45:37]  Honestly, you to be the great moral arbiter of what young women do with themselves legally in the United States.
[02:45:43]  So, this is where it's hard to tell if Piers is being serious or just trolling, but it doesn't matter.
[02:45:49]  Let's address what is said here.
[02:45:53]  Are we going to pretend like this work is serious work?
[02:45:58]  Are we going to pretend like this work is a necessity?
[02:46:01]  Are we going to pretend like this is honorable work?
[02:46:05]  Stop.
[02:46:06]  Let's not pretend.
[02:46:07]  These are, these are, you know, these are internet whores.
[02:46:10]  So, hey, we're not, you know, no, no, let's not be mean, but let's call it what it is.
[02:46:14]  If I, if I go to the strip club, those are strippers.
[02:46:19]  It's like no stripper is going to be like, oh, don't call me a stripper.
[02:46:22]  It's like, you're literally a stripper.
[02:46:24]  Like, oh, that's mean.
[02:46:25]  Don't call me that.
[02:46:26]  And that's what you are.
[02:46:29]  So, how are we going to sit here and pretend like that being an internet hooker is honorable work?
[02:46:37]  Like, let's just, let's not pretend here.
[02:46:39]  Let's be adults, okay?
[02:46:42]  It is, it's not honorable work.
[02:46:44]  It's not dignified work.
[02:46:46]  If you want to do it, go ahead.
[02:46:49]  It's a free country, but it's not dignified work.
[02:46:52]  It's not.
[02:46:53]  And I think that I shouldn't even have to make the point here, but I mean, is there any father that would say, oh, I want my daughter to grow up and be on OnlyFans.
[02:47:05]  I want my daughter to grow up and work at the slippery pole.
[02:47:09]  Of course not, because it's not dignified work.
[02:47:13]  So the fact that you're going to sit here, Piers Morgan, whether he's trolling or not, he's not the only one that's going to make this argument.

[02:47:18]  And I think that maybe that's why he does it, because he knows people will say this.
[02:47:22]  It's like, well, don't insult and say it's not dignified.
[02:47:24]  Don't insult and say it's not honorable.
[02:47:27]  Are you serious?
[02:47:29]  Do you want your wife doing that, Piers?
[02:47:31]  Maybe he does.
[02:47:32]  Do you want your daughter doing that, Piers?
[02:47:34]  Come on, man.
[02:47:36]  Just stop it.
[02:47:37]  If you want to argue on principle that you shouldn't say, hey, I'm going to tax this specific enterprise, I'm going to tax this specific means and methods of making a living at 50%.
[02:47:52]  If you want to stand on principle and say that's not fair, then fine.
[02:47:56]  Don't sit down and tell me that, hey, that is dignified work.
[02:48:01]  Because ultimately, what Fishback is saying is, He's like, he's trying to save you.
[02:48:08]  He's trying to get you out of this living.
[02:48:11]  And he was on, it was Fresh and Fit.
[02:48:16]  Fishback was on Fresh and Fit.
[02:48:18]  He had a girl that was an OnlyFans girl, and he had her crying.
[02:48:21]  It was like she'd never had a father say this to her.
[02:48:24]  He was like, hey, you know, I want to get you out of this profession.
[02:48:27]  I don't want you to feel like you have to do this for a living.
[02:48:29]  I don't want you to feel like you have to get naked to afford to live in this country.
[02:48:33]  We want to create a better environment.
[02:48:37]  Economically in America, that you feel you don't have to do this for a living.
[02:48:40]  And she likes starts crying and he's like, We're going to get you out of here.
[02:48:43]  He's like, What did you want to do growing up?
[02:48:44]  You want to be a teacher?
[02:48:45]  We can get you a job as a teacher.
[02:48:46]  We can give you a living wage.
[02:48:47]  And she's like crying.
[02:48:48]  She's like breaking down hearing this.
[02:48:52]  So you can disagree with 50% tax.
[02:48:55]  I don't think you can disagree that that would be a pragmatic way to fund things that need funding if you don't mind taking money out of the pockets of internet whores.
[02:49:04]  But to sit here and pretend like that's some sort of a dignified living, I'm not trying to be insulting.
[02:49:10]  I'm not trying to be mean.
[02:49:11]  You make your own decisions in life.
[02:49:13]  Sometimes you might have to do something.
[02:49:15]  But let's just stop this high and mighty righteousness.
[02:49:19]  Oh, how?
[02:49:21]  I mean, this girl looks like she's like 19 years old.
[02:49:24]  Oh, oh, how dare you tell this 19 year old girl not to get naked on the internet?
[02:49:32]  How dare you tell this 19 year old girl not to get naked for millions of strange men for money on the internet?
[02:49:40]  How dare you?
[02:49:41]  That's dignified.
[02:49:42]  Stop it.
[02:49:44]  Stop.
[02:49:45]  That's just pathetic.
[02:49:48]  But that's what they're trying to say.
[02:49:50]  So I don't know.
[02:49:50]  You may like the idea for the taxes.
[02:49:52]  You may not.
[02:49:54]  But let's just live in reality here.
[02:49:56]  Okay.
[02:49:57]  Let's just live in reality.
[02:49:59]  At no point should we sit here and tell a 19 year old girl, hey, we're proud of you.
[02:50:06]  That's dignified.
[02:50:09]  No, please.
[02:50:10]  And you know what is even worse?
[02:50:15]  What ends up happening is she turns it into this celebrity deal.
[02:50:20]  She turns it into this cause celebrity issue.
[02:50:23]  And she says, Hey, forget the rat race.
[02:50:28]  You're 18 years old.
[02:50:29]  I can make you a million dollars.
[02:50:34]  And now you're drawing young girls into this profession that is, on its face, not dignified, on its face, not going to be rewarding outside of the cash.
[02:50:49]  And now all of a sudden, we're going to sit at the men.
[02:50:52]  We're going to look at the men telling young girls not to do this, and we're going to point the finger at them and say, How dare you?
[02:50:59]  I think that's a, that's kind of a telltale sign of how bad our culture has fallen.
[02:51:08]  Listening to the Owen Report on the Wynn Network.

=== Disturbing Movie Review (04:18) ===

[02:51:11]  All right, we got to do some bonus time today.
[02:51:40]  Got to do some...
[02:51:41]  To do some bonus time on a Good Friday transmission to get our super chats out here.
[02:51:50]  The show's been a little off the wall today, hasn't it, guys?
[02:51:53]  How do we feel about that?
[02:51:57]  How do we feel about that one, guys?
[02:51:58]  It's been a little off the walls.
[02:52:03]  But maybe you guys can push the boundaries.
[02:52:05]  You guys are going to push the walls down, probably, in the super chats.
[02:52:09]  Here we go.
[02:52:10]  The comb kid, the comeback kid.
[02:52:12]  Data centers are our future change.
[02:52:15]  You're the comeback kid.
[02:52:18]  Okay, I see it now.
[02:52:20]  You can't blame me for not understanding that.
[02:52:22]  Data centers are our future chains.
[02:52:24]  Yes, the whole AI surveillance government.
[02:52:27]  That's correct.
[02:52:28]  Keep the oil, anyone.
[02:52:29]  Yeah, I saw Trump posted that.
[02:52:32]  The guy's out of his mind.
[02:52:34]  Who knows?
[02:52:34]  But he posted that on Truth Social.
[02:52:36]  That was the exact quote.
[02:52:37]  A lot can happen in three days.
[02:52:39]  Amen to that.
[02:52:42]  Let's see what that means over the weekend.
[02:52:45]  Care Rooster.
[02:52:47]  I think you're new to the Super Chat.
[02:52:48]  Welcome.
[02:52:49]  The EPA at the end of March approved 15% ethanol gas starting May 1st, meaning our gas is being diluted and we're paying for it.
[02:52:56]  Ah, well, anything.
[02:52:57]  Anything to keep the war going.
[02:52:59]  If that means diluting our gas, then so be it.
[02:53:03]  Got to have the war.
[02:53:05]  Jen Common, I love Owen Benjamin.
[02:53:06]  His new book, How to Slay a Wizard, is awesome.
[02:53:08]  Highly recommend.
[02:53:10]  It was a fun little break from the news, just slopping it up today.
[02:53:14]  All the shills got their orders to attack Alex Jones.
[02:53:17]  Yeah, I saw that.
[02:53:20]  I saw it.
[02:53:22]  But it's, you know, it's just the MAGA cult.
[02:53:24]  You know, everybody goes through it.
[02:53:28]  Exposed 305, Stardust, always fun to watch.
[02:53:30]  Oh, that was our movie from last week.
[02:53:32]  Oh, right?
[02:53:34]  Stardust was last week's movie.
[02:53:35]  Okay.
[02:53:38]  You know, that studio that came out, I think I already recommended Weapons, right?
[02:53:47]  I think that was already a weekend movie.
[02:53:49]  That was a newer movie that came out.
[02:53:52]  So I think we already recommended that.
[02:53:55]  But the production company that did Weapons, let me look this up real quick.
[02:54:05]  The same production company that did Weapons is about to release a new.
[02:54:11]  And it looks like it's going to be great.
[02:54:13]  The guys that are doing these movies seem to be knocking it out of the park with their scary movies, which is nice.
[02:54:20]  But we already did weapons, but I don't think we ever did barbarians.
[02:54:23]  That was the first movie, barbarian, actually.
[02:54:26]  That was the first movie that this group did.
[02:54:31]  So let's do a scary movie.
[02:54:33]  We're going to do a scary movie for this week.
[02:54:35]  It's disturbing, actually, might be the better way to put it.
[02:54:38]  But there's a couple other movies with this name.
[02:54:39]  So I want to make sure you get the right one.
[02:54:42]  Barbarian in 2022.
[02:54:44]  Okay.
[02:54:47]  So that's your movie for this weekend.
[02:54:49]  This is a very disturbing movie, visually shocking, visually disturbing, but very original, very unique.
[02:55:00]  And for that reason, we recommend it.
[02:55:03]  Maybe not the best movie you're ever going to see, but it's kind of a one of a kind deal and it's visually disturbing.
[02:55:10]  So we're going to go with Barbarian for this week.
[02:55:12]  So it's total switch up.
[02:55:14]  Stardust is like just total feel good.
[02:55:16]  This one is just like.
[02:55:18]  Feel gross.
[02:55:19]  So there you go.
[02:55:21]  You can find me in St. Louis.
[02:55:23]  Are you in St. Louis with the crew?
[02:55:25]  They're begging me to go up there this weekend.
[02:55:27]  They're begging me.

=== Israel Under Attack (07:26) ===

[02:55:29]  I don't know.
[02:55:30]  I'm just not getting on a plane and going to St. Louis.
[02:55:35]  We'll see if they can twist my arm.
[02:55:38]  Trump made a deal with the dark prince, but we in Christ are free from eternal death.
[02:55:45]  Captain Hart, F 15 crashed inside Iran.
[02:55:48]  A 10 crashed in the Strait.
[02:55:49]  Blackhawk crashed and landed in Iraq.
[02:55:51]  F 16 CJ hit and damaged.
[02:55:54]  Multiple people at the Pentagon have resigned or fired.
[02:55:56]  Iran made us do a regime change.
[02:55:58]  Ha ha ha ha.
[02:56:00]  Guys.
[02:56:10]  Yeah, and the Republicans are going to lose the midterms and the White House.
[02:56:14]  So, yeah, Iran got the regime change.
[02:56:16]  I mean, we got the regime change.
[02:56:18]  It was a mutual regime change, but nobody wins.
[02:56:23]  Oh, you got me with that one.
[02:56:26]  Is it Trump or Trump?
[02:56:28]  Yes.
[02:56:31]  Paul Hovannesian.
[02:56:34]  Did you hear that Trump wants to cut Medicare and Medicaid to fund the war?
[02:56:37]  Yeah, he wants to cut everything, he wants to just destroy the country to fund the war.
[02:56:42]  You just have to ask at this point, like, does Trump just consider himself an Israeli Jew?
[02:56:50]  Does he even consider himself American anymore?
[02:56:52]  Does he even consider himself anything other than the Messiah for the Israelis now?
[02:56:57]  It's like, that seems to be all he cares about.
[02:56:59]  He's bragging about it.
[02:57:00]  He's celebrating.
[02:57:01]  He's like, yeah, America, yeah, we're going to sacrifice you for Israel.
[02:57:05]  Like, come on, man.
[02:57:06]  What are you doing?
[02:57:09]  Owen nailed it.
[02:57:10]  Their relevance dies with Trump.
[02:57:12]  I've been saying that for a long time.
[02:57:16]  Methylene Blue.
[02:57:17]  Rex here.
[02:57:20]  Rex coming in.
[02:57:21]  You don't have to expose your secret handle here.
[02:57:25]  Rex here.
[02:57:26]  The quartering admitted everything he has ever posted on X pertaining to politics is a joke.
[02:57:31]  He's not a serious person or political commentator at all.
[02:57:33]  He is intellectually dishonest.
[02:57:36]  And that's why I brought up the Rush Limbaugh quote today, because Rush predicted that this is exactly what was going to happen.
[02:57:44]  And now he's been proven right.
[02:57:48]  So, when I saw that last night and I saw the triple quarter pounder with cheese defense system, I was like, this is just pathetic.
[02:57:59]  Like, this isn't even real commentary.
[02:58:01]  These aren't serious people.
[02:58:02]  They're not even trying to be.
[02:58:04]  Why would I listen to them?
[02:58:05]  But that's the demand that they make that.
[02:58:07]  Yo, no, you listen to them.
[02:58:09]  Don't listen to the well researched, well versed, understood people.
[02:58:13]  You know, don't listen to the pros.
[02:58:15]  It's like, if I've got a, the AC is fine, by the way.
[02:58:20]  I just forgot to crank it.
[02:58:23]  It's like if my AC goes out, I'm going to call the AC expert.
[02:58:27]  It's like, no, call the internet guy.
[02:58:31]  I know nothing about AC, so I'm going to talk about AC all day.
[02:58:37]  Father, forgive them.
[02:58:38]  They know not what they do.
[02:58:42]  If you're going to slop it up, Owen, why don't you just call this the PBD bot?
[02:58:49]  What are we doing, guys?
[02:58:51]  This unmasking is approaching Obama levels.
[02:58:54]  Trump is the same as Obama, just a Republican.
[02:58:58]  Trump just stands on cancels now.
[02:59:01]  Cancels?
[02:59:02]  Is that Cancels?
[02:59:03]  I think it's missing a K.
[02:59:04]  Yeah, Cancels.
[02:59:06]  Jose Navarro, total air superiority for a war won by new regime.
[02:59:11]  Total air superiority, but we're getting knocked out of the sky.
[02:59:14]  Eliminated their military, but they are bombing us.
[02:59:19]  They have no missiles.
[02:59:20]  40 missiles hit Israel.
[02:59:21]  I mean, Israel's getting pummeled, guys.
[02:59:23]  It's this weird thing.
[02:59:24]  It's like if.
[02:59:29]  If a Jew is offended at a college gym, right?
[02:59:34]  It's a federal case, and that girl's life has to be destroyed.
[02:59:41]  A Jew was offended at a, I believe it was Florida State College rec center.
[02:59:47]  And he was offended by a girl that didn't like Israel.
[02:59:51]  And she got kicked out of the college.
[02:59:52]  It was literally a federal investigation, a federal case.
[02:59:54]  And it's like, oh my gosh, this is the worst thing ever.
[02:59:57]  A Jew offended.
[02:59:59]  Oh, mean words were said to a Jew.
[03:00:05]  Oh my gosh.
[03:00:06]  But like Israeli Jews are getting bombed left and right.
[03:00:10]  And they're like, hey, shh, don't even, don't talk about that.
[03:00:18]  So, if you try to make sense of that, you understand how it's all propaganda.
[03:00:23]  So, you know, this is really complex.
[03:00:25]  I really don't even want to do this right now, but look, I mean, like, you understand how this propaganda works.
[03:00:31]  I've talked about the trauma based mind control, I've talked about the victim economy.
[03:00:35]  I think we're all caught up to that.
[03:00:37]  So, here's the practical application.
[03:00:41]  So, you turn anti Semitism into a weapon so that you cannot say anything negative.
[03:00:49]  About this war.
[03:00:50]  It really doesn't even matter about the average Jew.
[03:00:52]  And that's the point.
[03:00:54]  It's all about foreign policy.
[03:00:56]  It's all about the war.
[03:00:57]  So if there's a Jewish guy that gets offended by mean words at the gym, you make a federal case out of that because you can't have any anti Semitism and you have to show these cases of anti Semitism to make it like this big issue.
[03:01:12]  It's like, oh my gosh, we got to stop anti Semitism.
[03:01:15]  But then when Jews are getting bombed every night in Israel, it's shh, don't say anything.
[03:01:22]  Don't talk about that.
[03:01:26]  Because you got to support the war, see?
[03:01:29]  So, Jews getting bombed is okay as long as it's part of the war.
[03:01:34]  But a Jew getting offended at a college rec center by mean words, that's not okay because we need to have these cases of anti Semitism all over the case so that if you try to stop the war or change the foreign policy, we can call you an anti Semite and point to these examples.
[03:01:49]  But when a Jew gets blown up in the war that we want to fight, that's okay.
[03:01:54]  Are we getting it yet?
[03:01:55]  Have we gone completely insane?
[03:01:58]  I don't recall Obama and Biden lying about deleting 170 little schoolgirls.
[03:02:03]  God forgive us.
[03:02:04]  Well, Obama did kill some kids with some strikes.
[03:02:08]  There were some dead kids with Obama strikes.
[03:02:10]  There were some bad strikes, a wedding, some other stuff.
[03:02:13]  But no, Trump beat them all.
[03:02:14]  Trump beat them all by killing 170 little schoolgirls with a strike.
[03:02:18]  Trump is worse than them in that regard.
[03:02:19]  He wins.
[03:02:19]  And he likes that.
[03:02:20]  He wins.
[03:02:20]  I killed more schoolgirls.
[03:02:22]  Let me tell you.
[03:02:24]  When it comes to little girls, schoolgirls getting bombed, getting blown up, I'm the best.
[03:02:32]  Nobody bombs the kids like Trump.
[03:02:35]  In fact, we're going to make a banner and we're going to have a ceremony.
[03:02:38]  I'm going to get a trophy.
[03:02:40]  Most little girls bombed.
[03:02:42]  Trump did it best.
[03:02:43]  We did it better than Bush.
[03:02:45]  We did it better than Obama.
[03:02:47]  Biden, nobody even knows.
[03:02:50]  Trump did it.
[03:02:51]  Trump bombed the most schools.
[03:02:53]  Trump killed the most little schoolgirls.
[03:02:55]  I need a trophy.

=== Trump School Bombing Claims (02:48) ===

[03:02:56]  I need my reward.
[03:02:57]  I did it.
[03:02:57]  Better than Obama.
[03:02:58]  Look at all those dead kids.
[03:03:00]  Thank you.
[03:03:00]  I'm Trump.
[03:03:01]  I did that.
[03:03:01]  It's very good.
[03:03:03]  No, I mean, all kidding aside, I don't think he's really, I don't think he's happy about it, but they try to act like it didn't happen.
[03:03:12]  Love the t shirt.
[03:03:13]  Your Latina, Brasilia girlfriend gifted.
[03:03:16]  Well, I did get it when I was in Brazil visiting her a decade or so ago, whenever that was.
[03:03:23]  I did get it when I was down there.
[03:03:25]  Yes.
[03:03:26]  When I visited, The statue, Cristo Redentor.
[03:03:30]  It's an awesome place, man.
[03:03:32]  If you can ever make it to Rio, I highly suggest it and do it all.
[03:03:37]  Stay there two weeks and just do it all.
[03:03:40]  Probably my favorite place on earth outside of America, but politics down there now.
[03:03:44]  I'm kind of scared to go back, to be honest.
[03:03:47]  007 Angelo, Iran is now MAGA.
[03:03:49]  Make America go away, April Fools.
[03:03:52]  We allow late April Fool jokes here.
[03:03:54]  Employ strong for life.
[03:03:55]  On this day, the price for our sins was paid with the blood of Christ.
[03:03:59]  Let's feel the meaning of this day.
[03:04:01]  Wishing all a blessed Good Friday.
[03:04:04]  Thank you.
[03:04:05]  Fast maxing.
[03:04:07]  Fast maxing.
[03:04:09]  Well, I am on, I guess, almost hour 24 of my fast.
[03:04:19]  Actually, maybe a little.
[03:04:20]  I don't know.
[03:04:21]  I had a late dinner last night.
[03:04:24]  Can you hear my stomach?
[03:04:25]  Is my stomach growling yet?
[03:04:26]  Actually, you get really how fasting works.
[03:04:28]  It's like it comes, it's like eight hours, and then you go through a hunger struggle.
[03:04:33]  And then it's like 16 hours, you go through a hunger struggle.
[03:04:37]  And then it's kind of like once you get past 24 hours, you kind of just own it.
[03:04:43]  And you're just always hungry, but you just block it out.
[03:04:47]  Longest I've done is 72 hours.
[03:04:50]  And then maybe a couple, maybe a day or two when I was in prison.
[03:04:55]  So it's good for you.
[03:04:56]  Schroyer plus Benjamin, the Owens report.
[03:04:59]  I think me and Owen had a good time today.
[03:05:01]  Cornelius Western, a little late to the show today, but wax on, Owen.
[03:05:04]  No apologies, brother.
[03:05:05]  We love your philosophical takes on life and relationships and sports just as much as your top notch analysis of the news.
[03:05:12]  How do you guys feel about that?
[03:05:13]  Do you guys agree with that?
[03:05:16]  Because I have to say, as a consumer of political talk radio, I would stick around.
[03:05:24]  Savage would do it the most.
[03:05:27]  Savage did it the most.
[03:05:28]  The other guys I listen to usually stayed pretty straight on the content.
[03:05:32]  Savage would divert all the time.
[03:05:35]  He'd do it, and I get it now.
[03:05:36]  He'd be like, I can't do the news today, guys.
[03:05:38]  If you want to hear the news, just tune out.
[03:05:39]  I'm going to talk about food.
[03:05:41]  I'm going to talk about music.
[03:05:42]  Yeah, I'm going to talk about theater, whatever.

=== Savage Content Diversion (08:42) ===

[03:05:45]  I can't.
[03:05:46]  No news today.
[03:05:46]  So, you know, he gives you a fair warning you tune out.
[03:05:49]  I always stick around just because I, just because, you know, you want to listen to the guys.
[03:05:53]  But I don't know.
[03:05:54]  I'm kind of getting more into the point where it's like, just maybe you just have to do it for your own.
[03:05:58]  For your own sake.
[03:06:01]  My Owen has better hair and beard from Owen Schroeder's wife.
[03:06:06]  Are you comparing me to Owen Benjamin?
[03:06:08]  I don't think he's really trying on that front.
[03:06:11]  So I don't know if it's fair.
[03:06:14]  Eboo backs.
[03:06:15]  This may be the highest IQ Owen to Owen discussion in internet history.
[03:06:18]  That's what I said.
[03:06:19]  Wow.
[03:06:20]  I don't think you can find a better one.
[03:06:22]  It's got to be number one.
[03:06:24]  Been trying to expose how satanic Stardust Solution is.
[03:06:27]  So I appreciate you talking about this today.
[03:06:29]  They want to spray our proprietary.
[03:06:31]  Particles.
[03:06:31]  They want to spray proprietary particles to block out the sun.
[03:06:34]  Mark my words when they are going to try and sell it back to us.
[03:06:38]  Oh, the sun.
[03:06:38]  Yes.
[03:06:39]  Well, they're already doing that.
[03:06:41]  Wow.
[03:06:42]  I didn't even think about that aspect.
[03:06:44]  Create a false scarcity of the sun to sell us the sun.
[03:06:49]  That's got to be the most demonic agenda you ever heard of.
[03:06:51]  And yet, I think you're right.
[03:06:52]  I think they're going to do it because you already have the, they're sending these like reflective, like mirror type of satellites and they will position.
[03:07:03]  This is already happening.
[03:07:04]  They will position the satellite to your GPS location to reflect the sun to hit you right where you're located.
[03:07:11]  So they're already doing that service.
[03:07:13]  So that's what they're going to do.
[03:07:14]  Isn't that nice?
[03:07:15]  These demons, these devils, these monsters are going to block out the sun and they're going to turn it into a profit center.
[03:07:24]  And they're going to say, You don't get the sun.
[03:07:27]  You have to buy it from us.
[03:07:28]  I mean, that is, these people think they own the planet, is what it is.
[03:07:32]  That's the mindset.
[03:07:33]  They own the planet.
[03:07:33]  Why should you get the right to the sun for free?
[03:07:36]  Why should you, as a human of planet Earth born here, just get the right to breathe air and to touch grass and to get sunlight?
[03:07:44]  You don't get that, right?
[03:07:45]  You're a slave on this planet.
[03:07:46]  We own you.
[03:07:47]  We own this planet.
[03:07:48]  We own the sun.
[03:07:49]  Fuck you.
[03:07:51]  You want some sun today?
[03:07:52]  Five bucks.
[03:07:53]  Five bucks a minute for some sunlight, you dirty slave.
[03:07:56]  That's how these people think.
[03:07:57]  That's what they're going to do.
[03:07:58]  That is literally how these monsters think.
[03:08:04]  Wow.
[03:08:05]  And they can't have an uprising.
[03:08:06]  That's why they got to have the AI surveillance government.
[03:08:09]  They can't have an uprising of the people.
[03:08:11]  They own you now.
[03:08:13]  I'm a Class A trucker now, a Kentucky boy.
[03:08:17]  I traveled as a pipe fitter and worked in Oswego at the nuclear plant he spoke of.
[03:08:21]  Beautiful area.
[03:08:22]  Salty Badger.
[03:08:24]  Right on, Salty.
[03:08:27]  Keep trucking.
[03:08:28]  Baby making maxing win.
[03:08:34]  What are you asking me for?
[03:08:35]  Let's go.
[03:08:36]  I'm ready.
[03:08:40]  I'm down.
[03:08:41]  I'm into baby maxing.
[03:08:44]  I don't like this culture of fear.
[03:08:47]  I don't like this culture of fear and rejection of having babies.
[03:08:51]  I think it's gross.
[03:08:53]  I think it's evil, actually.
[03:08:56]  I don't like the different, I don't like all the stereotypes.
[03:08:59]  I don't like all the stigmas.
[03:09:01]  I don't, but we're going to beat it.
[03:09:04]  JB Free, Owen, tell Owen to reunite with Alex.
[03:09:07]  It's needed.
[03:09:09]  Sorry, I was a little late delivering that message.
[03:09:12]  Please have Ryan Matta on shirtless.
[03:09:14]  Thank you so much.
[03:09:19]  You know what?
[03:09:19]  I'm just going to move on, is what I'm going to do.
[03:09:21]  I'll move on.
[03:09:22]  Maybe I'll have Ryan on, but I'm going to move on from the rest.
[03:09:25]  Brilliant.
[03:09:25]  Breaking down identity politics, tribalness is the only way to truly break the divide that's destroying America.
[03:09:31]  The only way is through.
[03:09:33]  Well, that's so much of my instinct.
[03:09:35]  It's just counter propaganda.
[03:09:37]  It's not even necessarily from a direction.
[03:09:40]  I just counter lies and propaganda.
[03:09:42]  That's my instinct.
[03:09:42]  And that's why people in this MAGA cult are so mad now because their instinct is to be a bootlicking cuck.
[03:09:50]  And mine is to slay truth in the face of lies.
[03:09:56]  So you lie, I send truth your way and slay you with it.
[03:10:00]  So they get a little mad.
[03:10:02]  Was it Owen Benjamin who coined AI another Indian?
[03:10:06]  I don't know.
[03:10:07]  I don't know if I've heard that one.
[03:10:08]  Mego Von Villain, two Owens are better than one.
[03:10:11]  Everyone should name their baby boys Owen.
[03:10:14]  Seems the odds of them being straight, smart, and funny go up.
[03:10:18]  Avoid Dylan.
[03:10:19]  Oh, come on now.
[03:10:21]  I know a Dylan.
[03:10:22]  I know at least one Dylan.
[03:10:25]  There was a Dylan in high school that had a little bit of a rough go of it.
[03:10:29]  He brought that on himself, though.
[03:10:30]  He was all right.
[03:10:32]  I don't know too many Dylans.
[03:10:36]  I can support the Owen idea, although I kind of like having the exclusive name.
[03:10:40]  It's like having a name that no one else has is kind of a cool thing.
[03:10:45]  But if it's an honor of me, I can't deny it.
[03:10:51]  That's honorable.
[03:10:53]  That's worthy of being hyped about people naming their kid after you.
[03:10:57]  Johnny Las Vegas Trump is starting to move the goalpost with this so called war.
[03:11:02]  Now the Fed wants more money.
[03:11:03]  If you agree with giving the government more money, you're a cuck.
[03:11:09]  A cuck, a slave, a sellout.
[03:11:11]  Many words.
[03:11:11]  Traitor.
[03:11:12]  Patriot to trees.
[03:11:13]  Great show today, Owen.
[03:11:14]  Have a great weekend.
[03:11:14]  Thank you.
[03:11:17]  Thank you.
[03:11:17]  Have a great weekend, you too.
[03:11:19]  Breanna Morello moved back to Florida.
[03:11:23]  That's funny.
[03:11:25]  Is that true?
[03:11:28]  Hey, you know, look, I think I should say this.
[03:11:37]  Maybe I shouldn't, but you bring up Brianna, and I like Brianna.
[03:11:41]  We're friends, obviously.
[03:11:43]  We've always gotten along.
[03:11:45]  And this isn't necessarily just about Brianna, but, you know, and I used to say this all the time because people, you know, people want to work for Alex Jones.
[03:11:59]  They want to work for Alex Jones.
[03:12:01]  They want the experience.
[03:12:01]  They want to work for Infowars.
[03:12:04]  The legend of Infowars, they want to be a part of that.
[03:12:08]  Of course, naturally.
[03:12:10]  Folks, it's one of the hardest jobs.
[03:12:12]  I'm going to tell you, as far as working in media, it has got to be one of the most difficult places.
[03:12:19]  And that's not like a personal attack.
[03:12:21]  I'm not, this isn't, there's no personal attacks here.
[03:12:24]  I'm just telling you, there's not many people that can actually do it.
[03:12:29]  That's just the truth.
[03:12:32]  There are not many people that can actually do that.
[03:12:35]  And work for Alex and work for InfoWars.
[03:12:38]  There are not many people.
[03:12:40]  It requires a level of commitment.
[03:12:43]  It requires a level of drive.
[03:12:45]  It requires a level of, I mean, I guess I would just say knowledge, maybe research.
[03:12:52]  It's an entire lifestyle.
[03:12:54]  And if you're not willing to commit your life to that, because that's what Alex has done, if you're not ready or willing or able to commit your life, I mean, your entire life.
[03:13:08]  Forget about whatever else it is.
[03:13:10]  Forget about it.
[03:13:11]  You have to commit your entire life.
[03:13:13]  And it's just, it's not for everybody.
[03:13:16]  It's not.
[03:13:17]  You have to be a true believer.
[03:13:19]  You have to be willing to commit your life.
[03:13:23]  That's the standard.
[03:13:24]  Not many people can do it.
[03:13:25]  Everybody thinks they want to do it or can do it.
[03:13:27]  I'm telling you, it's tough.
[03:13:29]  It's tough.
[03:13:30]  I'm honored that I did my decade there.
[03:13:33]  And, you know, I think I'm a better person for it.
[03:13:38]  They removed the book of Enoch for a reason.
[03:13:40]  Well, didn't they remove a lot of books from the Bible?
[03:13:44]  So we have alien UFO technology, but we can't go to the moon because we don't have the technology.
[03:13:49]  I'm going to need better lies.
[03:13:51]  Well, I don't know.
[03:13:53]  Call NASA, see if they can figure that one out for you.
[03:13:56]  Re aliens hit the gym or join Marina's online group training before the aliens arrive.
[03:14:01]  There you go.
[03:14:02]  Is that you?
[03:14:03]  Are you Marina?
[03:14:04]  I mean, you look like you're obviously a professional bodybuilder or bikini model based off of your picture there.
[03:14:13]  So, you got to know something.
[03:14:15]  Collab with Kyle Seraphim.
[03:14:17]  It would be great.
[03:14:18]  We're going to get us some requests today.
[03:14:21]  Joshua Hobensack.
[03:14:23]  We can get Kyle on.
[03:14:24]  I talked to Kyle.

=== Better Lies Needed (03:30) ===

[03:14:27]  Cat Turd needs to play nice with others in the litter box.
[03:14:30]  Well, they live in a litter box.
[03:14:32]  They're litter mates.
[03:14:32]  So if you want to play around in cat shit, then, you know, Cat Turd's your guy.
[03:14:36]  That's your guy.
[03:14:37]  Some people don't like to play with cat feces.
[03:14:41]  Some people do.
[03:14:42]  Gummo was one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.
[03:14:45]  Gummo?
[03:14:46]  Gummo?
[03:14:49]  Curious.
[03:14:49]  We'll see if I remember that.
[03:14:51]  China, Chin Sailor?
[03:14:53]  Chin for Sailor?
[03:14:54]  China Sailor?
[03:14:55]  Why hasn't any reporter or anyone called out Trump for his illegal war?
[03:14:59]  We used to see TDS reporters every day doing this.
[03:15:01]  During his last administration.
[03:15:02]  Yes.
[03:15:03]  So I've addressed this before.
[03:15:06]  What's going on here is everybody is now afraid of Trump.
[03:15:09]  To put it simply, everybody is scared of Trump.
[03:15:14]  And this goes beyond the media, but since you ask about the media, the people in there are scared to death to lose their access.
[03:15:20]  They're scared to death to get reamed by Trump or they're scared to death to get fired.
[03:15:26]  That's what's driving the current status of the White House press.
[03:15:31]  And you've seen there's been times where, you know, a reporter that usually doesn't.
[03:15:36]  Press Trump's buttons, pushes Trump's buttons, and then they get scolded and then they shut the hell up.
[03:15:41]  There's been reporters that ask the wrong question, they're gone, never allowed any access.
[03:15:45]  There's reporters that get reamed by Trump, they're fired, they're gone.
[03:15:48]  So they're all scared.
[03:15:50]  So don't think that the sentiment has changed.
[03:15:53]  The whacked out libs are still in there.
[03:15:55]  The Trump haters are still in there.
[03:15:57]  And then there's a lot of MAGA that are in there now.
[03:15:59]  There's a lot of Trump supporters and voters.
[03:16:02]  And I don't want to say too much because I know a bit.
[03:16:07]  But that's the attitude they're just scared.
[03:16:10]  The whole thing is just, it's fear based, it's intimidation based, and Trump's aura just overwhelms them.
[03:16:17]  And so they're kind of just living in fear in DC right now.
[03:16:20]  That's the truth.
[03:16:23]  Co create me.
[03:16:23]  Love your shirt.
[03:16:24]  Christ is king.
[03:16:25]  Viva Cristo Rey.
[03:16:27]  Thank you.
[03:16:28]  David Hall.
[03:16:29]  Love the Cove Pure water machine.
[03:16:31]  Great work.
[03:16:31]  Hey, thank you.
[03:16:32]  Covepure.com slash Owen.
[03:16:34]  Thank you for that.
[03:16:37]  Me thinks when Dems take control, it'll be the same thing as Bush's illegal Iraq war impeachment off the table because both parties take APAC money.
[03:16:47]  You know what?
[03:16:47]  I would say normally that would be the case, but I think with Trump, it might be different.
[03:16:51]  I think they'll be willing to burn Trump.
[03:16:53]  I think that that's Trump's biggest mismeasurement he thinks he's now in the DC crowd, then they've ingratiated him.
[03:17:00]  And it's not like that.
[03:17:01]  They still hate you.
[03:17:02]  They're just playing it differently now.
[03:17:04]  They're just using a different tactic to get at you now and to manipulate you now.
[03:17:10]  I mean, Trump might just run to Israel when this whole thing is over.
[03:17:14]  Because, no, I don't think that's going to be the same application.
[03:17:17]  I think they will go after Trump again.
[03:17:19]  If he thinks they won't and the Republicans will bail, they'll bail.
[03:17:23]  They'll all bail, man.
[03:17:24]  I'm telling you, it's like the scene in The Dark Knight and the Joker's like, I know the snitch.
[03:17:29]  Or what does he say?
[03:17:30]  It's like, I know who will sing.
[03:17:31]  And he points at the screen.
[03:17:32]  He's like, they're all going to bail.
[03:17:36]  All of these cowards in the Republican Party that wouldn't support Trump for the first five years, they're still cowards.
[03:17:42]  They haven't changed.
[03:17:45]  They'll all turn on him.
[03:17:49]  Bill Gates' adrenochrome will blot out the sun, so we shall fight in the shade.
[03:17:53]  Hey, by the way, that is a Simpsons episode blocking out the sun.

=== Music Format Changes (10:04) ===

[03:17:58]  Loved your destiny debate.
[03:17:59]  Thank you.
[03:18:01]  Thank you.
[03:18:02]  There's really no point in debating liberals anymore.
[03:18:04]  It's all you got to debate people on the right now.
[03:18:07]  It's the only worthy debate.
[03:18:09]  Owen was right.
[03:18:10]  Great guest.
[03:18:10]  Thank you, Kevin.
[03:18:11]  Kevin Huntsey.
[03:18:13]  Thank you, Kevin.
[03:18:14]  Good to see you here.
[03:18:15]  First time I think I've seen you here.
[03:18:16]  Thank you.
[03:18:18]  Let's be blunt with Mary Jane.
[03:18:20]  Very funny.
[03:18:21]  Owen Schroeder's wifey is a fraud.
[03:18:22]  I'm the real wifey.
[03:18:24]  I got the apple fritter for you.
[03:18:25]  Come on, babe.
[03:18:26]  Don't blow up my spot here, but I will be.
[03:18:32]  I'm going to gobble up that apple fritter, though.
[03:18:34]  How about that?
[03:18:36]  Good Lord.
[03:18:36]  One of 1K.
[03:18:37]  Watch the full gray area debate against Quartering, and Quartering showed his position in his arguments for his base, and it was very shallow.
[03:18:43]  Can't wait for P2 soon where Rex is in debate mode.
[03:18:49]  Yeah, they kind of threw that thing together last minute.
[03:18:52]  Ashley Rose.
[03:18:54]  Love you, Owen.
[03:18:55]  I sent you a super chat on Rumble.
[03:18:57]  Another great show in the books.
[03:18:58]  God bless you.
[03:18:58]  Happy Easter.
[03:18:59]  Happy Easter to you, Ashley.
[03:19:00]  Thank you.
[03:19:01]  Sorry we don't read the Rumble chance.
[03:19:03]  My system just doesn't support it.
[03:19:04]  Sorry about that, but glad you're here.
[03:19:07]  Disavow Mary Jane.
[03:19:08]  She's not invited.
[03:19:09]  Come on, ladies.
[03:19:09]  We can all get along.
[03:19:10]  How are we going to baby max without all of this?
[03:19:12]  All right.
[03:19:13]  You got to think critically here, you got to think down the line.
[03:19:15]  It's all a numbers game.
[03:19:17]  Tay Tay from Florida.
[03:19:19]  Jonathan with an O is an exclusive name.
[03:19:22]  That's true.
[03:19:25]  What meal to break fasting?
[03:19:27]  Happy Easter.
[03:19:28]  You know what?
[03:19:29]  I don't know.
[03:19:31]  I don't have a plan.
[03:19:33]  In the past, I usually do pasta or pizza because I can just eat a ton of it.
[03:19:42]  Now I'll usually do like a fancy dinner, you know, like a fancy steak dinner.
[03:19:49]  Got some great restaurants in Austin.
[03:19:50]  So that's kind of what I do now.
[03:19:52]  I used to do carbs or pizza.
[03:19:55]  Pasta or pizza to carb load.
[03:19:57]  Nowadays, I'll do just like a really nice restaurant in Austin, you know, steak dinner with all the fixings.
[03:20:05]  I don't know if I have it in me to get out.
[03:20:07]  And I think that South by Southwest is still happening too.
[03:20:10]  So when that goes on in Austin, I just become like, I don't even want to leave my house at all.
[03:20:16]  So we'll see.
[03:20:16]  But usually, I used to do the carbs.
[03:20:20]  Now I just do like a really fancy feast, like a litter mate, but they like a different kind of fancy feast.
[03:20:27]  It's a different thing.
[03:20:28]  The J6 bomber is a patsy and Tyler Robinson isn't.
[03:20:34]  You know, the J6 bomber, there's some other developing news on that.
[03:20:37]  I haven't covered it.
[03:20:39]  I'm actually trying to get Steve Baker on the show.
[03:20:42]  I think we'll be able to do it next week, but he's doing so many interviews right now.
[03:20:46]  It's like, I mean, you can go find his story anywhere.
[03:20:49]  He's doing all these interviews.
[03:20:52]  But I do want to get him on the show to cover that.
[03:20:54]  So I'm waiting to cover that stuff until Steve can come on.
[03:20:59]  I'm not sure why you're conflating Cole and Robinson.
[03:21:04]  I don't know if that's what you're trying to get at there.
[03:21:09]  But are there people that believe that?
[03:21:10]  Is that what you're saying?
[03:21:14]  I'm not touching the Robinson stuff today.
[03:21:16]  But no, I'd say there's some new convincing stuff that Baker was right.
[03:21:22]  And they're covering up the pipe bomber thing, which is going to even look worse for Bongino when it's all said and done, by the way.
[03:21:35]  It's going to look worse.
[03:21:35]  Okay, a couple things before we sign off.
[03:21:39]  I'm considering some things here, guys.
[03:21:44]  Let me open up the chat.
[03:21:47]  So, before I take care of some business real quick, let me ask you guys something.
[03:21:54]  You know, we've been doing the music here, and I just quit thinking about it once I kind of got denied from doing the music.
[03:22:05]  I just said, I'm not just going to, I'm just going to not think about it.
[03:22:08]  I'm just going to go with this stuff that doesn't ding me.
[03:22:11]  And it's kind of nostalgic.
[03:22:12]  It's kind of fun, whatever.
[03:22:13]  It's a break.
[03:22:14]  I assume you guys like it more than commercials.
[03:22:18]  Maybe you'd rather hear commercials.
[03:22:20]  I don't know.
[03:22:21]  But I can't, to those in the chat, I see you.
[03:22:23]  I can't play music, is what I'm trying to explain.
[03:22:26]  I cannot play music.
[03:22:27]  It dings my channel.
[03:22:30]  So I can't do it.
[03:22:32]  The video game music doesn't.
[03:22:34]  The video game music, I can play it.
[03:22:36]  My channel doesn't get dinged.
[03:22:38]  So that's why it happens.
[03:22:39]  Now, I was thinking, I was thinking about changing the music, keeping it video game themed, but you have all of these different artists out there that basically do their own remakes.
[03:23:01]  So, I'm thinking about going into the remake, the music, video game music remixes, and using those during the break.
[03:23:14]  What do you guys think about that?
[03:23:16]  If we kept the video game theme, but did remixes that, you know, just independent artists put their work out there, what if we did that?
[03:23:25]  How would you guys feel about that?
[03:23:28]  Because I'm pretty sure I would be able to use that.
[03:23:30]  We're going to see if they let me use it.
[03:23:31]  I played the Ultimate Warrior theme.
[03:23:33]  We're going to see if that doesn't ding me.
[03:23:34]  I wanted to test WWE music to see if they would ding me.
[03:23:39]  I know they ding you with network music.
[03:23:41]  I know they ding you with the NFL music, like David Robeshaw and what was the other guy's name?
[03:23:49]  Sam.
[03:23:51]  The guys that make the NFL films music who are just awesome.
[03:23:55]  Those guys are just awesome.
[03:23:57]  So we may be making a music change.
[03:24:01]  We may be making a music change as far as sticking to the video game theme, but doing the remixes.
[03:24:08]  And then the last thing.
[03:24:12]  So let me know what you guys think about that.
[03:24:15]  Super chat comes in late.
[03:24:18]  Abilify is the drug.
[03:24:19]  It would be connected to mass shootings, too.
[03:24:22]  Search mental health in the files and think twice about them drugs.
[03:24:26]  Well, I don't take any drugs, but I always warn people against pharmaceuticals.
[03:24:32]  I am a bodybuilder, bikini competitor, specialize in Pilates and strength training work, work with patients, PD, sclerosis of the spine, which is very rewarding.
[03:24:41]  Yeah.
[03:24:41]  Also, I'm going to have to do something about my desk.
[03:24:43]  This whole system is starting to creak my back and neck.
[03:24:47]  I think I'm going to have to move my microphone.
[03:24:49]  I got to do something.
[03:24:49]  Like, it's like, I don't know.
[03:24:51]  My back is getting, my neck and back are like crooking this way or something.
[03:24:53]  I'm going to have to do something to change that.
[03:24:55]  So I think I'm going to relocate the mic in front of me or something.
[03:24:57]  I don't know what I'm going to do.
[03:24:59]  Maybe I need you to come over here and straighten me out.
[03:25:02]  Stop it.
[03:25:04]  So you're still a bodybuilder.
[03:25:06]  You're still a bikini competitor.
[03:25:07]  You're working in the field.
[03:25:08]  So people can find your, I'm assuming that's on your YouTube channel there if they want to find that.
[03:25:14]  Movie of the week, Frailty.
[03:25:15]  Not mine.
[03:25:15]  I don't know that one.
[03:25:16]  I already said mine is Barbarian.
[03:25:18]  We put that up earlier.
[03:25:20]  Anyway.
[03:25:21]  All right.
[03:25:22]  I did the thing with the music.
[03:25:27]  I do need a whole new studio.
[03:25:29]  I know, guys.
[03:25:29]  Eventually, we're going to do a whole new studio.
[03:25:31]  Don't worry.
[03:25:33]  This is just studio number one.
[03:25:35]  Oh.
[03:25:44]  That's funny.
[03:25:45]  Well, I'm not going to hurt your dreams, bud.
[03:25:47]  I'm just going to take your great super chats and say thank you for being here.
[03:25:51]  I won't crush your dreams, but thank you.
[03:25:55]  Thank you for being here.
[03:25:55]  All right.
[03:25:56]  Last thing.
[03:25:58]  Last thing before we sign off.
[03:26:01]  So we are going to do, and we've done this before.
[03:26:05]  I'm making the announcement right now.
[03:26:09]  We are going to be remaking the entire storefront.
[03:26:15]  Next week, oinschroyer.store.
[03:26:18]  So, what you see at the store right now, in I guess 10 days or whatever, it'll be Monday, the 13th.
[03:26:27]  Let me give you the date.
[03:26:29]  It'll be Monday, the 13th.
[03:26:32]  Monday, the 13th, the entire store is going to be changed.
[03:26:38]  So, a lot of the stuff that you see is going to be gone.
[03:26:41]  Some stuff might survive, most of the stuff on the site is going to be gone.
[03:26:45]  At owensdroyer.store.
[03:26:47]  Almost all the apparel is going to be gone Monday the 13th.
[03:26:51]  And we're in the process of making some new apparel right now, some spring themed stuff, some new political themed stuff in the current political environment.
[03:27:03]  So if there's anything on the store that you want or you've been thinking about Monday the 13th, it might be gone.
[03:27:11]  The whole thing might be gone.
[03:27:13]  Also, next week, There might be an entirely new product at the store.
[03:27:23]  Not a shirt, not apparel.
[03:27:26]  Something else that we've been working on, something else I'm very excited about could be coming to the show next week.
[03:27:32]  And I don't want to get ahead of myself.
[03:27:35]  There's still one last phase before I can launch this thing, but it looks like it's going to be good to go.
[03:27:41]  But I'm very excited.
[03:27:42]  I think we're going to have a big announcement next week as far as what we have to offer you.
[03:27:49]  At owenschroyer.store.
[03:27:51]  But the current apparel there could be gone by Monday the 13th.
