Thank you.
phil labonte
Thank you.
The usual suspects had plenty of criticism for RFK's takes on vaccines.
Some people were talking about his take on abortion.
Mostly they were just making fools of themselves.
So we'll talk about that a little bit.
Donald Trump signed an order to combat anti-Semitism on campuses.
Vows action against Hamas sympathizers.
That's going to be problematic considering the First Amendment and all, but we'll get into it.
Donald Trump has also signed an executive order to defund schools teaching CRT, radical gender ideology, which personally I think is great, because I don't even believe in gender, never mind gender ideology.
Then we're going to talk about, Donald Trump is going to send 30,000 illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay.
He says it's a tough place to get out of.
I mean, it's an island, so, you know, it makes sense.
Cuba, I mean.
Then we'll get into...
Trump made an ultimatum to federal workers, return to the office, or be terminated.
And all of that sounds great to me.
We have to get rid of a lot of people in the federal government, and any excuse we can come up with for firing them is going to be great, in my opinion.
And lastly, Bob Menendez.
He was sentenced today.
Homeboy had gold bars stuffed in the pockets of his suits in his closet, and he was actually found guilty.
So he's going to go to jail for 11 years.
It's going to be a nice jail.
It's going to be one of the jails where you can play golf and he'll have outdoor privileges and stuff like that.
It's not one of those real rough ones.
But we'll get into that.
But before we do, go buy coffee.
Go over to castbrew.com.
Get yourself some coffee.
You can get yourself two weeks till Christmas, which has got me dressed up like Santa Claus.
Let's go!
Kind of a buff Santa Claus at the time.
I was a little on the...
Pumpy side.
You can go and get Alex Stein's Primetime Grind if you decide to quit the cocaine but you want similar effects from your coffee.
I think we still have some more of Ian's Graphene Dream.
Do we have any more?
Where does it say?
No, we are sold out.
If you didn't get your Ian's Graphene Dream in the past couple days, you're out of luck.
I don't know if they're going to do more.
I imagine they will because it's been selling so well.
So you can go on over there and buy some cast root coffee.
Then head on over to Boonies HQ and you can buy yourself skateboards.
And the newest one that Tim's all pumped about is called the 28th Amendment.
It reads, chickens being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed.
You know, it's a good idea to have the ability to take care of yourself, whether that be a skateboard for transportation, chickens for food, or, you know, maybe a little pew-pew for the inspiration for the 28th Amendment.
And then we want you to head on over to TimCast.com and become a member.
You can join us there.
You can become a member of the Discord.
You'll have member privileges.
You'll be able to hang out with like-minded individuals.
You can call into the show.
We do the after show for an hour with members only.
You can call in and we'll ask us questions, ask our guest questions.
So head on over there and join us.
Now remember, smash the like button.
Share the show with your friends.
We're going to talk about all these things and more.
And right now, to get us started, we've got Sean Hendricks.
unidentified
Hey, thanks.
Sean Hendricks, I'm with Here We Grow, which is more known as Operation Shelter.
We've been doing charity work up in Western North Carolina for the last four months.
And thanks for having me on.
phil labonte
Awesome.
So you've been doing stuff with the hurricane relief.
unidentified
Yeah.
It started out, I just went up to deliver some Starlinks, and I tweeted it, sorry, posted it at Elon and said, hey, Elon, these things are a nightmare to set up.
Can you just please make them free for us?
And he retweeted me and said, sure, tomorrow.
We'll make them all free.
And it kind of just took off from there, and just one thing led to another.
J.D. Vance reached out to me on X and was kind of asking, like, what do you need?
And so that just brought a lot of awareness to what I was doing, and so I've just been a voice for the people of Western North Carolina that the last regime basically ignored.
phil labonte
That's awesome, man.
This is a side note, and I don't think we're going to talk about this on the show, but you hear that Elon Musk was nominated for a...
Nobel Peace Prize today.
unidentified
I mean, he saved lives in Western North Carolina.
I mean, we have people who needed heart medicine that if we didn't have Starlink up there, they wouldn't have got it in time.
And they most likely would have died.
So, I mean, he's protecting free speech and free communication.
phil labonte
Awesome.
Well, thanks for coming.
We got Mary Morgan here.
mary morgan
Hi, everyone.
I'm back.
My name is Mary Morgan.
I co-host Pop Culture Crisis here at TimCast.
I'm back on PhilCast.
phil labonte
She said that I can't look at her today.
mary morgan
You're not allowed to look at me.
No knowing glances are allowed in my direction.
phil labonte
I gotta do this.
mary morgan
Hi, Raymond.
raymond g stanley-jr
Hello.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Raymond G. Stanley Jr. You can find me everywhere in the world as Raymond G. Stanley Jr. I am your local blue-collar, moderate, right-leaning, nationalist, semi-anti-authoritarian.
All right.
I look forward to tonight's show.
phil labonte
All right.
mary morgan
Wait, wait.
Can you repeat that?
Who are you again?
raymond g stanley-jr
I am your local blue-collar, moderate, right-leaning.
Okay.
Nationalist.
unidentified
Okay.
raymond g stanley-jr
Semi-authoritarian.
mary morgan
Semi-authoritarian.
raymond g stanley-jr
Only when I want to be.
mary morgan
Okay.
raymond g stanley-jr
When it suits my needs.
mary morgan
Got it.
unidentified
That's...
phil labonte
I mean, that's...
raymond g stanley-jr
I've been working on my intro, you know?
Let's get this, you know?
Bill's got a whole thing.
I'm like, I gotta do something like that.
unidentified
I like that.
mary morgan
Express yourself.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
phil labonte
Good stuff.
All right, so CNN reports that RFK Jr. clashes with Democrats over past comments about vaccines and abortion rights.
Look, it was all grandstanding, right?
Like, the Democrats don't like RFK now because RFK had a different opinion on the COVID vaccine, and so they're saying, oh, well, he's an anti-vaxxer, which he's totally disavowed over and over and over.
I think that he wrote a book where the first thing that he said in it is he's not against vaccines, and literally the last thing he said in it, he's not against vaccines.
So it's all just that kind of Democrats looking to be able to have a clip that they can put up and they can go to their constituents and say, look, I was tough on Trump's appointees.
But CNN reports, Washington, Senate Democrats grilled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his various controversial statements, Including his stance on vaccines during his confirmation hearing to be President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary.
And most left feeling overwhelmingly unsatisfied by the answers they received.
No crap.
They're Democrats.
And it's Donald Trump's appointment.
The only person that is going to...
that coasted through and was ever likely to coast through was Marco Rubio because he was one of them.
He was a Senator and the Senate is a big nose in the air.
We're better than you club.
And guess what?
If you're not a Senator, you're not in it.
You know, you're going to get treated like crap.
But do you guys think that RFK got garbage because of the fact that he is, um, I say, I guess I would say he has counter, Opinions counter to what the predominant left-leaning Democrat opinion is, or do you think that there's actually substance to the things that they're giving garbage about?
unidentified
I think it's mostly because he walked away from the party.
There's nothing they hate more.
phil labonte
Okay, yeah.
unidentified
You know, I got a friend of mine up in West North Carolina that is very popular on X now who walked away from the party.
He gets attacked nonstop by the left.
I don't get anything because they know where I stand.
So I think a lot of it just has to do with it.
He betrayed.
How dare he betray us?
So they're going to burn him down.
phil labonte
I didn't think about that, but that's a really great point.
mary morgan
What is his actual stance on vaccines if he's not anti-vax?
phil labonte
So he was critical of the COVID vaccine, which...
mary morgan
Is he just anti-mandate?
phil labonte
No, he was critical of the vaccine because technically the COVID vaccine, the way that the mRNA vaccines work, they're not like other vaccines.
So he was critical of it and he was like, you know, this has been rushed out, etc., etc.
And so he was critical of the way that it was administered and critical of the science behind it and stuff.
mary morgan
You know, that's one thing that Trump never did, which really frustrated me because he needed to take credit for the vaccine.
Even though everyone was talking about how there were questionable symptoms people were experiencing, he had this ego thing about it because he was the one who fast-tracked it.
So he needed to take credit for the accomplishment of...
phil labonte
That's typical Donald Trump, isn't it?
mary morgan
Yeah, it is.
phil labonte
Whether you like him or not, like whether you're pro-Donald Trump or not.
mary morgan
And I do like him, but that is really frustrating and it sounds like RFK went further to criticize it than Trump ever would.
phil labonte
Yeah, I think you're 100% on point there.
And I think that the Democrats, like they were, they're so quick to fall in line with whatever, you know, because whatever the establishment says, because the Democrats are the arbiters of popular opinion and what is acceptable opinion.
Whatever the establishment says, they're the ones that are going to get behind it and say that if you're stepping out of line, you're terrible.
And now we see, you know, the CIA has said, okay, yeah, it's likely that COVID was a lab leak and it didn't come from, you know, a bat that was a stew.
Yeah, CIA has admitted that.
mary morgan
When did that happen?
phil labonte
Like two days ago or something like that.
mary morgan
See, I'm not keeping up.
I don't know what's going on at this point.
They said that?
unidentified
Yeah.
mary morgan
Okay.
raymond g stanley-jr
The truth is coming out.
unidentified
Yeah, we're running out of conspiracy theories at this point.
raymond g stanley-jr
The Democrats, what they do is all they do is grandstand.
No matter who it is.
Only Rubio, because he is one of them.
They liked Rubio.
But they're going to yell and grill at everyone that comes in front of them and make it cool to what they're doing.
We're going to get some people down the road on this with Elizabeth Warren and whatnot, which is going to be exciting.
But he's more safety-oriented.
He wants to get research into his vaccines.
He just doesn't want to, like, okay, it's a vaccine.
Like, Pocahontas was like, you have to say, and the other guy will say, you have to see if to pledge allegiance to vaccines.
You don't have to pledge allegiance to any vaccines.
You want to make sure you search them, research them, and long studies to make sure that they're right.
mary morgan
You know, I do have a problem with RFK, though.
raymond g stanley-jr
About what?
mary morgan
Because he wants to take away my...
Taco Bell.
He wants to take away my seed oils, my fast food.
phil labonte
Okay, so he said, he specifically said today, if you like fast food, you should be able to get fast food.
mary morgan
If you like your healthcare provider...
phil labonte
Look, man, he's not...
Look, he's not...
Fair enough, but he's not Barack Obama.
mary morgan
No, I'm just kidding.
phil labonte
I don't think that...
I don't think that his motivation is to...
Is to, you know, prohibit anything.
I think his, except for possibly things like the dyes that are harmful in the foods that are totally unnecessary.
Like it's all just about, you know, they're putting dyes in food so that way they have a certain aesthetic.
And other countries have the same foods, the same, you know, the same brand names and everything.
And I mean, I've been all over Europe.
I've been to Europe like 15 times.
I've been all over, you know, many, many Western countries.
And like the food.
It's the same.
Just because it doesn't have the red dye or whatever dye you want to discuss, it's still the same stuff.
mary morgan
Don't tell me you're one of those people who says that you lose 10 pounds every time you go to Europe.
phil labonte
I go to Europe, but every time I go to Europe, I gain weight because I'm not going to the gym and not doing cardio.
mary morgan
Okay, finally someone said it.
phil labonte
I never heard that before.
mary morgan
I see these posts all the time that are like, it's because there are no seed oils in Europe.
And they really just want to brag about the fact that they went on vacation in Europe.
They're like, I lost 10 pounds when I went to Europe because there aren't poisons in the food.
unidentified
You walk 27,000 steps.
That's why you lost.
phil labonte
Because you're not jumping into a car and everything.
And to be honest with you, European cities, being that most of them are very, very, very old, they're...
We're mostly set up so that way you can walk to areas that are, you know, walk around and get all the stuff you need for the most part.
They were built when everybody had to hoof it everywhere.
unidentified
Well, Amsterdam, it's faster to walk in Amsterdam than it is to take a car.
You go on Google Maps and it's like 7 minutes walk, 14 minutes car.
Because it's just not designed.
raymond g stanley-jr
The roads are so thin over there.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
raymond g stanley-jr
They're just tiny.
Like, I was in Greece and it's a lot of places, but they're this big compared to our roads.
Our way up from the park on the side, they don't have that over there.
phil labonte
Yeah, I mean, look, we were talking to, I forget his name, he was a Polish MP and he was here when we were in DC. Dominic Terzinski.
Dominic, that's it.
He was talking about Poland has been a country since like 900 AD. So it's like, you're talking about places almost 1,200 years, 1,300 years or whatever, and it's like, so yeah, the layout of the streets and stuff is going to be geared towards people walking around.
serge du preez
Can I just make a comment really fast?
phil labonte
Please.
serge du preez
Because I think, like, this isn't something that I feel like the right could be behind.
I don't know why we're not saying, let's make public works.
unidentified
100%.
serge du preez
Why don't we just say, like, let's renew the interstate?
I don't know if everyone's seen on their local interstate, but there's a lot of places that could use some work.
Why don't we fund this in a better way than saying, oh, well, if you don't make 21-year-olds drinking, what's with all this stuff?
There should be...
Public works in the United States.
Rebuild the bridges.
There's so much stuff we could be doing, like all the parks and stuff.
I lived in LA for a long time.
Look at Pershing Park.
That place is scary now.
It used to be an amazing place, and now it's terrifying to be around.
I wouldn't go there.
unidentified
Walking dead.
serge du preez
Yeah.
phil labonte
So a lot of the stuff you're talking about is actually state-level stuff.
So the funding for the interstate, sure, that kind of stuff is.
serge du preez
I realize that, but I'm just saying I don't see why we aren't pushing for that.
Why aren't we pushing for more expansion of things that are helping?
We have control of the federal government.
We have the tools.
We should use them.
We never do ever in the past.
We're always like, oh, pump the brakes there, Sonny, with the Democrats.
That's not what you're doing right now.
phil labonte
I mean, Eisenhower did a whole lot with the interstate system by setting up the interstate system.
And that came because he went to Europe and looked at what the- At the Audubon, etc.
What the Germans had done.
With their infrastructure and stuff.
And that is all downstream from progressive policy.
So I think that you would get pushback from the right on that, at least when it comes to the modern right that says, oh, we want to see a small government that doesn't have their hand in everything and we don't want to fund everything.
If you've got Doge and you're talking about actually trying to shrink the government, then you're going to run into that kind of conflict.
But remember...
Anytime we talk about funding anything, mandatory spending is where it's at.
We can cut around.
We can cut.
All of the discretionary spending out that we want, and it's not going to change the fundamental breakdown of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are what's driving the debt, and so we need to do something about those.
So I get what you're saying, and honestly, the amount of money that would be spent on projects like that would be minuscule when you compare it to the mandatory spending.
It's true.
So I want to go to this.
this from tim cast news senator ron johnson presents additional evidence showing how the biden administration concealed anthony fauci's awareness of the link between covid vaccines and myocarditis at rfk junior senate hearing it is great to hear that even though this is a hearing about rfk we're continuing to uncover uh how How absolutely terrible Anthony Fauci was in his position.
And some of the things that I've heard, I don't know if it's actually in this clip, but I heard they were talking about emails that they get from Fauci's office and stuff where the whole thing's redacted.
There is no reason for anything coming from HHS or from the Health and Human Services, there's no reason for any of that to be redacted.
Because if they're redacting it...
Then what are they, hiding something that might be bad for the American people?
The point of HHS is to make sure that the health and well-being of the American people is taken as the top priority.
So let's go ahead and listen to this bit here.
ron johnson
Oversight letters to the federal health agencies under the Biden administration.
I've virtually gotten squat out of them, okay?
What I get is we get, for example...
50 pages of Anthony Fauci's emails.
raymond g stanley-jr
That's insane.
ron johnson
Redacted.
By the way, the latest one was 17 pages.
Instead of issuing a health alert on the myocarditis they knew was impacting young men, early in 2021, instead of issuing an alert on the Health Alert Network, they developed 17 pages of talking points.
This was given to the public under a FOIA request.
They had to go to court.
They've got a new way of redacting.
They don't black things out.
They just give you white pages.
So you don't even know what they have redacted.
unidentified
Wild.
ron johnson
So again, I've issued a subpoena now to cover the information I've requested in 70 oversight letters.
My question to you is, as Secretary of HHS, will you honor these requests from Congress and will you make HHS transparent.
robert f kennedy-jr
Yeah, my approach to HHS, as I said before, Senator, is radical transparency.
Democrats and Republicans ought to be able to come in and get information that was generated at taxpayer expense that is owned by the American taxpayer.
They shouldn't get redacted documents.
Public health agencies should be transparent.
And if we want Americans to restore trust in the public health agencies, we need transparency.
phil labonte
Look, if their primary concern, like I said earlier, if their primary concern is not to make sure that the health and well-being of the American people is at its best...
At the top of the list of things to do, then it's unfit for purpose entirely.
There's no reason for it to exist if it's not going to be saying, look, these are the things that are bad for the American people.
These are the things that are good for the American people.
Y'all can do what you want, but at least when you come to us, we're going to give you the information that says these are the bad things, these are good things.
Redacted emails, it is entirely unacceptable that Anthony Fauci would have any Kind of redacted emails, unless he's got some kind of top-secret clearance.
But even then, you should know that he's got a top-secret clearance, and you should be made aware, look, this is pertinent to national security.
But it wasn't.
As far as I know, Fauci doesn't have a top-secret clearance, and he shouldn't be involved in any kind of program that would be considered classified.
unidentified
It's interesting.
Two things I was asking when I was on Capitol Hill to my senators was I want food freedom and medical transparency.
So I was super glad to hear we're talking about medical transparency.
We just want to see the data.
When it comes to health, there's nothing to hide.
Unless you're doing something shady, then...
That's the first thing I think.
And seeing those pages of white paper with nothing on them is infuriating.
And so I'm glad that happened because I asked both senators about this, and they got to hear it firsthand.
Tillis was sitting right next to him when he asked that question.
And I talked to Tillis' chief of staff and said, we need medical transparency.
So I hope that clicked with him.
raymond g stanley-jr
That's why we want you to vote for RFK. I mean, you saw my talking point, but if you are giving blank pages out to the American people, you're definitely hiding something.
It's like a preemptive pardon.
So there's something going on here that you're not going to give us the full information.
And Americans' health is huge.
Like, what the F? We're 40% fatties.
And we're not going to tell...
mary morgan
40% fatties?
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
phil labonte
He was talking today.
Is it?
75% is either obese or overweight.
Now, I don't know the exact...
mary morgan
Maybe 40% obese.
raymond g stanley-jr
Okay.
My terminology is...
unidentified
40% is too much.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, bro.
phil labonte
Like, I mean, we talk about this on PCC a lot.
Bring back aspirational.
Like, part of the reason why...
And it's not the total reason, but part of the reason why there's so many people that are overweight and stuff is because of things like fat acceptance and like people in and putting, you know, overweight models in, you know, Calvin Klein.
raymond g stanley-jr
Or suing, real quick, suing Uber because you can't fit into a car.
phil labonte
Oh, God.
Did you see that woman?
Did you guys cover that on PCC yet?
mary morgan
Not yet.
I think we will.
But we have been talking about Ozempic a lot because...
The first high-profile examples of people using Ozempic was in Hollywood, and there have been multiple cases now of high-profile celebrities ruining their lives and their quality of life by using Ozempic as their last-ditch effort to lose weight, including Sharon Osbourne, I believe.
How do they ruin their lives?
After she had lost a significant amount of weight, went off of it because it went way too far.
And since she has gone off of Ozempic, she has not been able to even gain that weight back.
And she looks like a husk of who she used to be.
And then we were just talking about this other girl who's like an influencer, a singer named Avery.
And she actually accessed Ozempic by some black market.
She did not get prescribed by a doctor because she didn't have diabetes and she wasn't obese.
It's getting very easy to access Ozempic off-market.
There's a whole resale black market for it now.
And she went on social media and told her followers, I went on Ozempic because I'm mentally ill.
I got addicted to it.
And now I've just been diagnosed at, what, she's like 30 with osteoporosis.
Which is irreversible.
Which can be deadly.
And this is going to affect her for the rest of her life.
So she's raising awareness about it.
But there are so many people going to that drastic measure because people know deep down when they're being lied to.
And there was...
Just a resounding message from the media, from celebrities and entertainers, but also so-called experts in health and nutrition.
All of them for like 10, 15 years telling you it's not just healthy, but it's also beautiful to be overweight.
And people know that they look and feel like shit.
That way.
So that's why they're going to these extremes.
phil labonte
Do you think that, so this is like the pendulum swinging back?
Do you think that this is part of that kind of backlash against the, oh, it's okay to be overweight, it's okay to be, everyone is beautiful?
mary morgan
All of these people were just pretending that they thought that was beautiful.
All of these people who, even the people who were fat, who are now on a Zempic, were just lying to themselves and everyone around them the entire time, including Oprah.
I mean, she...
Was an ambassador for Weight Watchers for the longest time and promoted using your willpower and self-control to restrict your portion sizes to lose weight, which is actually really good advice.
unidentified
Yeah, that's actually real good advice.
mary morgan
Maybe not advice that she was putting into practice for herself, but then she spoke out against Ozempic and then she outs herself for...
Being on Ozempic in order to lose weight and completely shifts the narrative and says, I just realized, I magically woke up one day and realized that fat people are fat because we were just born with food noise.
We were just tortured with thoughts, intrusive thoughts of food all the time.
And if you're skinny, if you're not overweight...
It just means you were born without food noise in your brain.
unidentified
There's a little bit to that though.
Your hunger signaling is a real thing.
People who don't have a high hunger signal, which is what GLP-1 inhibitors reduce, you're just hunger signaled and the food is much more calorie dense than it used to be.
So you can take in a lot more calories before you get full, which puts you in a calorie surplus because you're not moving.
But with GLP-1 inhibitors, it takes away that signal to eat.
So what they're doing is they're starving themselves without feeling like they're starving.
That's where the bone loss and the muscle loss, because imagine you're in a bodybuilder prep cut.
You don't ever feel hungry.
You're not lifting.
So your body's just ripping your muscle for energy.
So you end up skinny with no muscle mass.
They're still 30% body fat.
They're just skinny fat.
mary morgan
Yeah, we don't know the long-term effects of stuff like that yet.
raymond g stanley-jr
Everyone wants to be Eugenia Cooney.
mary morgan
Pretty much, yeah.
raymond g stanley-jr
She's the model.
mary morgan
She's like a famous YouTuber.
She's been in the public eye for many years.
She's emaciated.
And she's tried to deny it, but it's very clear that she does have an eating disorder.
And there are a lot of children that watch her channel.
It's extremely destructive, the influence that she has.
I don't even know if she knows that.
Or if her mind is just so, like, on another planet, she can't think.
unidentified
If you look like that, you can't think.
mary morgan
You can't actually use your brain.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
unidentified
That'd be tough.
Yeah, I was over 300 pounds a few years ago.
And so when people tell you, it's like, oh, yeah, feed and fat's great.
No, it's not.
raymond g stanley-jr
No.
unidentified
It's terrible.
You can't get up off the ground.
You can't breathe after going up the stairs.
phil labonte
Look, I mean.
unidentified
Self-conscious.
phil labonte
I'm sympathetic.
I can be sympathetic to people that, like.
I used to smoke cigarettes and there is nothing, if I understand correctly, talking to other addicts, there is nothing harder to quit than nicotine because of its availability.
I used to drink too much and I don't drink at all now.
I don't drink in any kind of regular way.
I don't indulge.
I don't get drunk.
So I get it.
But look, if I can quit smoking cigarettes and quit drinking, you can put the fork down.
unidentified
Yeah, 100%.
I lost 80 pounds just calorie deficit.
No tricks.
mary morgan
Well, Ozempic kind of just smashed everyone's magical idea about weight loss because it proved that it was about calorie deficit.
raymond g stanley-jr
What does it do?
I mean, I don't know much about Ozempic.
Does it just not make you hungry?
phil labonte
So I've heard people...
I don't think that it actually...
It doesn't get rid of your...
Your appetite.
But it does apparently make your...
Ability to resist actually stronger because I've heard that it works on people that are addicted to other things too.
I've heard people have been experimenting with alcoholics and with drug addicts and using Ozempic as a means to help them beat those because it helps build up your ability to say no.
unidentified
I haven't heard that.
That's actually new to me.
So ghrelin, you have hormones that trigger hunger and it suppresses those.
It's a GLP-1 inhibitor.
Like, I took a dose just to see what it was like, you know?
And it was trizepatide.
And I took one, two and a half milligram dose, and I was just like, I had to force myself to drink protein shakes for a week.
Because you take a few bites of food, and it feels like you just ate Thanksgiving dinner.
You're like, oh, I'm so full.
Because your body just signals that you're full.
And so I'm trying to hit 280 grams of protein a day.
Seriously?
Good luck!
I'm trying to pound.
Protein shakes, I feel like I'm stuffed every time I drink a protein shake.
To me, it was terrible.
But that's because I was trying to force myself not to lose muscle.
I still lost two kilos in seven or eight days.
It was crazy.
raymond g stanley-jr
On being the overweight thing, at one point in time, I was 230. The time in my life was 230. That's huge.
Ginormous for myself.
But I had a hard time tying my shoes.
unidentified
Yeah, of course.
raymond g stanley-jr
I would tie my shoes and I'd be like, going out of breath.
And it was like, that's when I knew, that's when I was like, that was my moment of like, wait a second, hold on, Raymond.
You can't tie your shoes without like breathing hard.
This is insane.
mary morgan
You have to actually want to change.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
mary morgan
Unfortunately, most people don't want to.
People don't have the wherewithal.
They don't have the wherewithal to do it for themselves, and they kind of need the extra help.
And we're in this hyper-abundant society where we're just inundated with an abundant amount of hyper-palatable foods, which are chemically altered.
They are full of harmful ingredients.
It's true.
unidentified
I guess one of the hardest parts is that it's a struggle where you can take one step forward.
It's a difficult step.
But you could take 10 steps back so easily.
I know for me, just like in the last four months, being on the road doing hurricane relief, I've put on 15 pounds.
I don't even try.
Just eating bad food, driving like a trucker.
And then 15 pounds feels terrible to me.
I don't know how I had 60 more pounds on me.
But it's like I took 15 – that's going to take me 16 to 18 weeks to lose now.
And I gained it without thinking.
phil labonte
It's frustrating, yeah.
I mean, I've been trying to put on weight this winter, and I'll start cutting again probably like April or whatever.
But I'm pushing 180, 175, 177 this morning, I think, when I got on the scale.
That's the biggest I've ever been.
And you can feel it.
I feel like getting through doors doesn't feel as easy.
And I'm talking about literally, I'm only 10 pounds over what I normally walk around at.
165 lean is kind of what I feel really good about.
It's not like I'm, like, significantly larger.
But yeah, putting on your shoes, I'm like, oh, how come I can't get my feet up to my chest?
raymond g stanley-jr
When you've got a stomach in front of you, you're trying to do this and you're like, it's just insane.
unidentified
I'm usually sitting around 240 at, like, 19%.
Going up to 258, I feel like I'm 306 again.
But I just don't know how I lived at 306. I just don't know how I existed.
phil labonte
Yeah, so...
unidentified
Go RFK. The RFK can investigate Ozempic?
phil labonte
I mean, look, if it's...
mary morgan
What the long-term effects are going to be for people?
Because it sounds like there are some disasters happening.
raymond g stanley-jr
It does.
unidentified
We know the long-term effects of starvation.
That's all it is.
mary morgan
It would literally be safer to just go through that calorie deficit naturally.
unidentified
100%.
mary morgan
There has to be something.
There has to be a catch.
There's always a catch.
unidentified
The only time it makes sense is if you're diabetic and the weight is a greater risk to your health than the ozempicas.
If you're somewhat healthy, you are crazy.
To go on Ozempic.
Because you're not going to change your habits.
You have to come off at some point.
You titrate up.
You've got to come back down.
And your habits are still going to suck.
So you're going to gain the weight back, but you lost muscle.
Terrible idea.
phil labonte
So we're going to go on to the next bit that we've got, which is, again, another thing from the hearings today.
I'm not even sure who this is.
This is Mr. Whitehouse.
What was that?
Okay, anyways, from TimCast News, Mr. Whitehouse, Senator Whitehouse is talking to RFK and complaining.
unidentified
Americans are going to need to hear a clear and trustworthy recantation of what you have said on vaccinations, including a promise from you never to say vaccines aren't medically safe when they in fact are.
And making indisputably clear that you support mandatory vaccinations against diseases where that will keep people safe.
You're in that hole pretty deep.
Americans are going to need to hear a clear...
phil labonte
Look, man, I'm very pro the polio vaccine.
I think that's a very...
unidentified
There was only a truck outside today in front of the hearing.
It said, make polio great again.
It was an anti-RFK truck.
phil labonte
Oh, God.
unidentified
That's what it said.
I mean, I don't know how I feel about the polio vaccine.
mary morgan
I have no idea.
I have no idea what's in it.
I have no idea.
phil labonte
I'm just willing to admit that.
I'm considering the fact...
mary morgan
There's been that erosion of trust.
What can you expect?
phil labonte
Well, I mean, I do think that...
So it's valid to be suspicious of the...
You know, the NIH or whatever.
That's fair enough, right?
Because they've been so irresponsible when it comes to messaging the American people.
That's totally legitimate.
unidentified
40 blank pages.
phil labonte
Yeah, exactly.
raymond g stanley-jr
There were one or two that had words on it.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
phil labonte
But the point being, it is legitimate to be skeptical of what they say.
But if you look at the history of the polio vaccine, you look at what America and the world was like.
What polio was doing before the polio vaccine, and then you look at what was happening, say, from when the polio vaccine started being given to everyone, which is, I'm not sure when, can you look that up, find out when the polio vaccine was?
raymond g stanley-jr
Yes, sir.
phil labonte
When the polio vaccine began to be administered to, say, 2000, right?
Because that's prior to things, us getting this kind of weird, clearly getting this kind of weird situation where we...
We should be skeptical of him.
raymond g stanley-jr
1955, it says, began 1955 with Jonas Stalk's inactivated polio vaccine in 1955. So 45 years it was given, and you didn't see polio.
phil labonte
And other than the fact that polio was gone, you didn't see the massive upswing in autism that we do.
Like, that's a new thing, right?
That's not in the past.
You know, 50 years.
That was in the past 20 or so years when you see a significant increase of autism and stuff like that.
So there are vaccines that I think that are clearly a benefit, right?
Polio.
I think that the measles vaccine.
raymond g stanley-jr
Chickenpox.
phil labonte
I mean, I didn't get a chickenpox vaccine.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm sorry, not the chickenpox.
The deadly one.
Smallpox.
phil labonte
Smallpox.
unidentified
Tetanus.
phil labonte
Tetanus.
mary morgan
Who gets to decide that?
phil labonte
I honestly...
mary morgan
You know what?
Like, what does it matter what any of us...
Emotionally feel about a vaccine at this table.
Our feelings don't matter.
It only matters that we get to choose.
phil labonte
I agree that you should be able to choose.
And also, I'm not one for mandatory going to public schools.
But I do think it's fine if the public schools are like, if your kids don't have these vaccinations, you have to homeschool them.
I'm an advocate of homeschooling anyways, so it's not like, to me, that's not a punishment.
I'm not like, oh, well, you can't hang out with us.
It's like, look, man, I don't want my kids hanging out with you anyways.
But I'm going to give my kids vaccines like polio vaccine.
unidentified
1984 protocol.
phil labonte
Yeah.
unidentified
All vaccines before 1984. That's not a bad thing.
That's definitely a thing out there.
raymond g stanley-jr
Are we at like 40 now?
Like back in the day, I don't know how many I got.
I was a young baby at the time.
But now I feel like it's tripled and doubled.
Or doubled, tripled, quadrupled.
phil labonte
I'm not sure of the dates.
I can't say.
unidentified
Do you guys have kids?
raymond g stanley-jr
Negative, sir.
mary morgan
I don't.
unidentified
So with our kids, it's a delayed schedule.
phil labonte
Okay.
unidentified
Right?
Pre-1984, delayed schedule.
And then, it's just like, we just do the stuff that works, and we don't do it all at once when they're tiny little babies.
You just take your time and get them up to speed.
But, oh, we're anti-vaxxers because we think that way.
phil labonte
I do think that parents should have the final say.
I don't think that it should be something that the state...
mary morgan
How about the only say?
Not the final say.
unidentified
The only say.
mary morgan
Parents get the only say.
Not the final say.
No one else gets a say.
How about that?
phil labonte
Yeah, I wouldn't...
raymond g stanley-jr
Do you believe that with transgenders?
phil labonte
I think that that's...
raymond g stanley-jr
Of course, they're not really tragic.
unidentified
No.
raymond g stanley-jr
Well, I'm just saying that parents get the only say.
mary morgan
That's not health care.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm just throwing it out there.
unidentified
That's not health care.
phil labonte
We'll get to that.
mary morgan
We will get to that.
phil labonte
We'll talk to that.
There will be considerably less sparring about that one.
But I do think that there are a lot of vaccines that are beneficial.
That being said, I do think that the attempts by...
Mr. Whitehouse here to bully RFK into essentially repeating the mantra that he wants, especially considering...
I think that it's unlikely that Mr. Whitehouse is going to vote for RFK anyways.
Any of the people that gave RFK a hard time today that really grilled him, they've already made up their minds.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
phil labonte
This is not about convincing them of anything.
This is not about actually, you know, getting them to the point where they say, you know, maybe I would vote for RFK. This is all about grandstanding and about fundraising and about showing their DNC bona fides.
mary morgan
This is like so trite.
It's trite to say, but science is like a religion to them.
And like vaccines are a sacrament in their religion.
So that's why it's this big monolithic good thing that we have to celebrate because it's a ritual.
phil labonte
Is it really trite?
mary morgan
It is trite to say that they, yes, it's trite to say that like, whoa, this is like a religion or like science is like a religion.
But it's true.
unidentified
Even with what he said, you can debunk it immediately with yellow fever vaccine.
Like yellow fever vaccine is not safe for everyone.
They don't give it to old people.
They don't give it to babies.
They don't give it to people who are immunocompromised because it could actually give you yellow fever and cause some side effects.
So it's like just the statement he said is not true.
There are vaccines that have side effects and they're known and documented.
phil labonte
Yeah.
I mean, if I understand correctly, all vaccines have possible side effects.
unidentified
They're not perfectly safe.
phil labonte
So, you know, not that, again, this is not to say that we shouldn't have them, but to say that they're all dangerous or whatever, that's not true.
But to say that, you know, the point is, you know, he's looking for a confirmation, or he's looking for RFK to repeat the lines that he wants him to say.
And so, that's not, like I said, they're not looking for RFK to say anything, you know, they're not looking for RFK to say anything that's going to convince them.
They're looking for RFK to say what they want to hear.
unidentified
You know why I think they're wanting him to hear it?
Because if they get him to say something that the Democrats agree with, it could cause a few Republicans to fall through the cracks, right?
So if they can get him to say something they know, people that are already edgy on him on the Republican side, they may drop their votes, which then gets him unconfirmed, which...
They look like a hero at that point.
You know what I mean?
It's grandstanding, but it's also strategy.
raymond g stanley-jr
And I don't know why you're having this hearing and they don't let him talk ever.
All they do is just yell at him the whole freaking time.
Like, don't you want answers for the questions you're asking instead of just talking for five minutes?
mary morgan
And they're like, I just think it's funny, Hal.
phil labonte
And that's another thing.
I mean, we can go on and to this point, right?
We can go on and talk about how...
raymond g stanley-jr
That was my plan.
phil labonte
What?
raymond g stanley-jr
That was my plan.
phil labonte
Yeah, you know, Nancy Mace was tweeted, speaking of shills, Senator Warren raked in 5.2 million from Big Pharma and the medical industrial complex.
We can listen to what this interaction here, and you'll see all she does is scream and yell, you know?
So take a listen to this.
elizabeth warren
Let's do a quick count here.
of how, as Secretary of HHS, if you get confirmed, you could influence every one of those lawsuits.
Well, let me start the list.
You could publish your anti-vaccine conspiracies, but this time, on U.S. government letterheads, something a jury might be impressed by.
You could appoint people to the CDC vaccine panel, who share your anti-vax views and let them do your dirty work.
You could tell the CDC vaccine panel to remove a particular vaccine from the vaccine schedule.
You could remove vaccines from special compensation programs, which would open up manufacturers to mask torts.
You could make more injuries eligible for compensation, even if there is no causal evidence.
You could change vaccine court processes to make it easier to bring junk lawsuits.
You could turn over FDA data to your friends at the law firm, and they could use it however it benefited them.
You could change vaccine labeling.
You could change vaccine information rules.
You can change which claims are compensated in the vaccine injury compensation program.
There's a lot of ways that you can influence those future lawsuits and pending lawsuits while you are secretary of HHS.
And I'm asking you to commit right now that you will not take a financial stake in the And every one of those lawsuits so that what you do as secretary will also benefit you financially down the line.
robert f kennedy-jr
I'll comply with all the ethical guidelines.
elizabeth warren
That's not the question.
You and I... You're asking me...
unidentified
Senator, you're asking me not to serve vaccine pharmaceutical companies.
No, I am not.
robert f kennedy-jr
Here you are.
That's exactly what you're doing.
unidentified
Look, no one should be fooled here.
Boy, Pfizer got their money's worth on it.
mary morgan
Wait, I stopped listening.
Can you, like, recap what she even said?
I stopped listening because her voice is just so insufferable.
phil labonte
The long, like, RFK's understanding of it was he was looking for, he was under the impression that she was saying, commit to not suing.
Pharmaceutical companies.
unidentified
Got it.
phil labonte
But pharmaceutical companies make a whole lot more than just vaccines.
unidentified
Yes.
phil labonte
They make all kinds of drugs, and they might end up putting out a...
Look, there was a time when they had to change how Tylenol was sold because someone put cyanide in Tylenol, Kaplan.
I remember back in the day.
unidentified
Wow.
phil labonte
That old.
That's a legitimate lawsuit.
So you can't say, oh, this kind of...
Uh, company is beyond, uh, is, is above, you know, repercussions or, or legislation or, or, or whatever, because those kinds of things can happen.
Like when, when you're making things that people ingest, whether it be food or drugs or whatever, like there can be mistakes and people can be hurt and you can't promise that you're not going to, you're not going to have some kind of ramifications for them messing up.
unidentified
Yeah, no one should be protected when they cause damages to the United States citizen of having preemptive no repercussions.
Like, it's just not a thing that should exist.
raymond g stanley-jr
It's very un-American.
unidentified
Very.
raymond g stanley-jr
Very un-American.
If you're just going to let people do what they want, have their own way, no repercussions for any illegal actions they do.
unidentified
Why would they fall into any line of...
raymond g stanley-jr
They would?
Yeah, exactly.
They could do whatever the F they want.
unidentified
There's no punishment.
mary morgan
She's a ridiculous human being.
She really is.
She sounded like she was about to burst into tears.
raymond g stanley-jr
She always does.
unidentified
No!
That wasn't the question!
mary morgan
And she just, she, this student council as, like, I can't get over the affect that she puts on.
It's, like, so student council.
Like, she was so the class president in seventh grade and, like, held on to that forever.
phil labonte
She used to be a Republican.
raymond g stanley-jr
What?
mary morgan
When was that?
phil labonte
This is probably 15 or so years ago.
She was initially elected as a Republican and she had, she was, I think she was an economics professor.
And she had reasonable economic opinions.
Very run-of-the-mill.
They were not the new modern monetary theory-based ideas that she'll run with now.
She had very reasonable opinions.
You can hear Ben Shapiro talks about it a lot.
Whenever her name comes up, he's like, she used to be a reasonable person that I could actually find agreement with.
Now she's just a complete and total shill.
unidentified
But you have to be in the Democrat Party now.
You have to lockstep.
There's no room for any disagreement anymore.
raymond g stanley-jr
Their brains are nuts.
People just...
unidentified
Their brains are nuts.
raymond g stanley-jr
Something happened to them.
These people, if she was a Republican, something happened to them and they just totally forgot common sense and went to a crazy world.
mary morgan
Her brain is just a squirrel using a control panel.
phil labonte
But like, so for some context about that exchange, Senator Warren...
She got $1.6 million from hospitals and nursing homes.
She got $644,000 from miscellaneous health organizations.
And then she got $625,000 from pharmaceutical health and health products.
So look, she's...
raymond g stanley-jr
You're not number 20, bro.
phil labonte
Health Services, HMO. Oh yeah, there's another $500,000.
So clearly...
She's got some motivation to protect the big business that has helped her to achieve the position that she has.
So you can take that kind of exchange with a grain of salt, in my opinion, because the whole point is, hey, I need to protect my friends in industry, the people that have helped me to retain my position as a senator from Massachusetts.
And it's not about any of the things that she brought up.
It's all about trying to protect those businesses.
unidentified
I really want a law to pass when they broadcast these.
That when a senator's on screen, their top three donors' logos have to be on the screen with them.
How crazy would that be?
She comes up and it's like Pfizer and Moderna.
That would change the game where they take money from.
It's got to be suits like NASCAR. I literally posted a picture of my ex of her in a NASCAR suit that says Pfizer on it.
Because that would change who they take money from.
But they had to be blasted with it every time they do a confirmation hearing.
raymond g stanley-jr
Even what Nancy Mace did here, I got my qualms with her.
But just having that whole open secrets.
God bless open secrets.
They do good work.
phil labonte
We don't have any qualms.
I mean, we don't.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm not we as well.
mary morgan
Destiny has been here.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
phil labonte
Well, Destiny doesn't come back.
Destiny doesn't come back.
raymond g stanley-jr
I think there are quants to be at.
I got no beef, Nancy.
I'm sorry.
I'm just saying.
Some things we don't agree on.
People don't agree with everything on everyone.
mary morgan
Nancy will be okay.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, she's fine.
But even having the open secrets up next to them when they're doing it, it's a good idea.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
100%.
phil labonte
All right, so we're going to move on.
Let's jump to this story.
Trump signs order to combat anti-Semitism on campuses, vows action against Hamas sympathizers.
Look, that's not all that in line with the First Amendment, and I know that there are people that are going to say, well, you know, if they're not actually American citizens, they don't get First Amendment protections.
If I understand correctly, they do.
Right?
So, The Hill says, Look,
if you want to talk about terrorism, right, or terrorists sympathizing with terrorism, that's one thing, but just being like, look, you've got a bad opinion about the Jews, that's not okay.
Like, you can't do that in the United States, whether it be on college campuses or anywhere else.
raymond g stanley-jr
Did you say if they break the law?
Isn't also the EO is if they break the law?
That makes sense.
unidentified
It's not a free speech issue if it's a law.
If I go out and I smash a window and vandalize, yeah, out of the country.
raymond g stanley-jr
But you're on a visa.
You're pro-Hamas on a visa.
You break a window.
Send him out?
unidentified
Not pro-Hamas.
You crack a window in a protest as a person on a visa, you're out.
Forget the topic, right?
If you're not causing problems, see you later.
phil labonte
Yeah, if you break the law and you're on a visa, out.
unidentified
Go to Canada and break the law as an American.
You ain't gonna be there very long.
raymond g stanley-jr
Just FYI, none of the right-wingers, the big accounts, are saying that I've seen that it is if you break a law.
And lefties, too.
They're like, if you're this person and you say these things, you get out of here.
But Trump's not dumb.
unidentified
Yeah, it's wild.
raymond g stanley-jr
If you break a law, then you're on the table to get out.
unidentified
You burn a car in the middle of the street.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh, yeah.
phil labonte
So then it makes me wonder why this framing?
Because if it is about breaking the law, like actually committing acts of vandalism, it doesn't have anything to do with actual anti-Semitism then.
unidentified
If you're part of a riot, a gathering that's determined illegal and you stay and you fight police, you're out.
It doesn't matter what you're protesting.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm trying to find it, but that's what I've seen the most of.
It's the breaking the law part.
A lot of folks are getting that wrong.
Because the story is, it sounds better.
Hey, you're anti-Hamas and you're protesting.
Trump's going to kill college students.
He's not.
Don't break the law, kids.
phil labonte
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of my understanding.
If this were just, hey, look, if you say something negative about Israel or if you just have a bad opinion about the Jews or whatever, then it's like, okay, you can't.
You can't legislate that.
unidentified
Well, it also gives unfair protection to one group.
It's like, what if they say negative things about me as a person?
They slander me.
You know what I mean?
It's got to be equally applied across anything.
I think the thing you walked away from was just saying, hey, people who are rioting as non-citizens are going to be kicked out of the country.
phil labonte
Yeah, and honestly, look, I think that the more non-citizens that we can actually get out of the country at this point, it's a good thing.
Whether they be here on a visa or whatever, if you're not a citizen and you are in any way causing a problem, beat it.
unidentified
Why are we bringing people that don't love America into America?
What's the point?
phil labonte
Yeah, I mean, the...
raymond g stanley-jr
No, I can't say that.
Americans who don't like America.
I'm just kidding.
unidentified
Immigration is supposed to enrich our country.
That's the point of it.
It's not a charity program.
It's supposed to make us better as a nation.
mary morgan
Well, even if they love America, they can love it from afar.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
phil labonte
Yeah, it does.
So, I just don't see the problem with being like, hey, if you break the law...
You know, even if it's as simple as something, you know, as small as vandalism.
But again, I do wonder why, because I've seen the combat anti-Semitism headline all over the place, and it's like, why misrepresent what it is, right?
If it's people breaking the law, why are you saying that it's about anti-Semitism when it's not?
You know, I mean, I don't see how that hurts Trump.
Because, you know, like for the most part, your average normie is like, yeah, that should be bad.
You know, like they don't put a lot of thought into it.
And so it's not like it's going to hurt Trump.
If it's the left that reads it, they might, you know, especially if you're bringing up Hamas or Gaza, then they might be like, well, yeah, that's bad because...
Trump bad, but they're already going to think that Trump's bad.
I don't see what the benefit is for misrepresenting it and making it about anti-Semitism when it's about, hey, look, these people are breaking the law.
unidentified
Maybe simply they just didn't think about it hard enough.
He just posted it and was like, let's go.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, if it weren't for the fact that, you know, there was probably six or seven or eight different headlines like that.
unidentified
But they all copy each other, you know?
phil labonte
They do.
They do.
So, let's see.
The president also said that the Department of Justice will quell pro-Hamas vandalism and intimidation and investigate and punish anti-Jewish racism in leftist, anti-American colleges and universities.
unidentified
So...
phil labonte
Again, I don't want the DOJ punishing anti-Jewish racism.
I don't want the DOJ punishing any racism.
That's something that we try to take a social aspect.
You ostracize people.
You say, oh, I don't want to hang out with you.
You criticize people.
But you don't have the DOJ go after people because they have bad opinions about or opinions about some people they don't like.
Look, man.
Whether or not people want to admit it, you're free to have unpopular opinions.
You're free to not like this group of people or that group of people.
I know that it's been pounded into people's heads that racism is actually not just illegal, but it's a sin.
It's somehow a sin against society or whatever.
In the United States, you can be an asshole if you want.
It's illegal.
raymond g stanley-jr
That's what makes us beautiful.
phil labonte
And so, like, this whole idea that you would use the Justice Department against people because they have unpopular opinions is really bad.
And we see why it was really bad, because of all the things that had happened during COVID. All the people that were like, no, I don't like the lockdowns, I don't like, you know, I don't think this, and I disagree about the origins or whatever.
All those people that had bad opinions, a lot of them turned out to be right.
unidentified
Yeah, and I always try to remind people, too, like...
Don't get all comfy with big government during Trump's term.
Because anything that he passes and uses, if it changes in four years, I don't want this stuff coming against me.
So do not – I see it all the time.
They're like, oh, well, Trump's in power.
I'm okay with this.
You shouldn't be.
mary morgan
What other examples do you see?
unidentified
Well, I think this is a great example of it.
mary morgan
Are there any other overreaches?
unidentified
No, I haven't seen anything yet.
But I'm saying just don't – just carte blanche everything Trump says.
Rubber stamp it.
Like think about if power changes in four years, do you still want them having that power?
Right now, I've been very on board with everything happening, but something like this that could have read will quell vandalism and intimidation on college campuses.
End of story.
I think we need to do that.
That's already illegal.
It's already illegal, though.
phil labonte
That's a good point.
raymond g stanley-jr
There's just another grandstanding.
unidentified
100%.
mary morgan
Why are campuses the focal point here?
raymond g stanley-jr
That's a good question.
phil labonte
Mostly, I think it's because the...
raymond g stanley-jr
Protesters?
phil labonte
- Well, because the faculty at most college campuses are almost uniformly left, they're all very pro-Gaza, So they look the other way when when Jewish kids or were, you know, hey, they were hazing Jewish kids and stuff like that.
And your faculty would look the other way when they were pro Gaza protesting, you know, and basically, you know, saying stuff that's considered hate speech to towards Jews.
So that's why they're focused on campuses, because it's kind of a uniform opinion when it comes to to the the administrator administration.
And they're not doing anything to, you know, protect the Jewish kids because there was a lot of Jewish kids that ended up like barricaded in rooms and stuff like that because there were protesters that were like hounding them and stuff like that.
So that's probably why they're focusing on.
raymond g stanley-jr
So I agree with that aspect, Phil, as an.
They're being barricaded in rooms and they weren't allowed to walk through campus.
They weren't allowed to walk through certain areas.
I agree with that.
You're able to move around.
But just being bullied and yelled at, I don't agree with.
That's fine.
Sorry, you get yelled at, you get bullied.
unidentified
It's life.
raymond g stanley-jr
So this is cool and all, but not really.
phil labonte
I was just answering Mary's question as to why.
That was the justification.
mary morgan
It's because a lot of them receive federal funding.
So it just falls under their fear of influence.
unidentified
I think there's still the angle that this is non-citizens.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, back to the...
unidentified
Kick them out!
You're here, you're causing problems, you hate what we stand for.
If you hate it so much, just leave.
phil labonte
They want to use us.
That's why they don't hate you.
And that's something that I think that...
That's something that we've talked about here on the show multiple times.
If you are not a fan of the United States, if you're an anti-capitalist, you shouldn't be allowed in the U.S. If you're a communist, you shouldn't be allowed in the U.S. You certainly shouldn't be given money to go to school here.
And the reason I say communist is because a communist...
A fundamental disagreement with communism and with a liberal society, right?
If you don't believe that you should be able to own property, if you don't believe that your body is your property, your life is your own property, which communists don't believe, then you shouldn't be allowed to.
unidentified
We're not compatible.
mary morgan
What about those of us who may oppose both a liberal society and a communist society?
Where do we belong?
phil labonte
If you're already an American, you're already an American.
But again, I'm only talking about immigration rights.
mary morgan
Dumb American kids who identify as communists, they don't know what it even means.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, fair enough, but there are people that...
What I'm talking about is if you're from outside of the United States, coming into the United States, the United States has the right to say you're not coming in for whatever reason.
And it comes down to if you have an ideology that is hostile to a liberal society, you shouldn't be allowed to come in.
Can't do anything about people that are here that...
You can't say you can't...
Okay, I thought that's what you meant for a second.
unidentified
Okay, anti-communist revolution.
phil labonte
Counter-revolutionary.
unidentified
Counter-revolutionary.
phil labonte
The point that I'm making is when it comes to immigration, people that we accept into the United States, if you don't believe in the principles that make America America, you're not welcome in the U.S. as a...
Whatever.
mary morgan
It doesn't really matter what the reason is.
We might just not like the cut of their jib.
phil labonte
I don't hate that either.
unidentified
At the White House two days ago, the Cubans were protesting.
Not protesting, celebrating Trump because they wanted him to end communism in Cuba.
So we have immigrants who support our ideas and want us to help end communism in their country.
I thought that was interesting.
raymond g stanley-jr
I know you're going to switch, but a good executive order, it's for kicking out people who are not Americans who don't like breaking our laws.
But you don't got to grandstand with the whole Israel thing, dude.
Relax.
phil labonte
Yeah, fair enough.
Okay.
But speaking of crazy ideologies, we're going to jump to this story.
Trump signs executive order to defund schools teaching CRT, radical gender ideology.
Look, man, I've said it the past couple days, I don't even believe in gender, right?
It's sex, and that's it.
raymond g stanley-jr
That hit me hard.
I never thought about it, but I know it came around 1955 with the John Money dude, and it didn't hit my brain, but that makes so much sense to get rid of it.
phil labonte
There is no such thing as gender.
There's no reason to have gender.
It's just your male or your female.
It's your sex.
mary morgan
It's a function of language.
Language can be gendered.
phil labonte
Well, I mean...
mary morgan
People don't have...
raymond g stanley-jr
It is a social construct.
unidentified
It's a social construct, though.
mary morgan
People don't have essential gender identities, but I think that they would weasel around the meaning of that word by saying, oh, it's just the way you've been socialized based on your body parts.
That's what they would say it is.
Yeah, and I can just say, that's BS. Well, it's true, though, but you are socialized a different way based on your body parts.
phil labonte
You're based on your sex, not on your gender.
mary morgan
Yeah, they would say that structure of socialization, you could just call it gender.
That's what they would say.
phil labonte
That's fine.
mary morgan
Just to play devil's advocate, that does make sense to me.
phil labonte
But the point that I'm making is I reject that entirely.
Like, it's all based on sex.
So the idea that, oh, well...
mary morgan
Yeah, I don't think they would necessarily deny that.
phil labonte
What?
mary morgan
I don't think that people who believe in gender as a concept would probably say...
It's the way you're socialized based on your sex.
phil labonte
People that are interested in having that dialogue, they can define it however they want.
But I reject the whole concept totally.
mary morgan
What concept?
phil labonte
The concept of gender.
It's biological sex.
How you dress and the things that you like are what goes into making your gender.
It's about the things that are good for a female and things that are good for a male or the things that society says is good for a female and good for a male.
Those are the things that go into making your gender.
When you look at trans women...
Men that dress up like women.
Like, it's always a caricature of a woman.
Very, very rarely are they a normal...
mary morgan
Oh, no.
phil labonte
They behave as a normal woman.
You know what I mean?
mary morgan
Dress like little anime girls.
phil labonte
Exactly.
It's always...
mary morgan
They got the cat ears and all that.
phil labonte
Yeah, it's always some kind of exaggerated character.
And the same...
The same way for trans men.
You saw the way that woman sat down to talk to Ben Shapiro.
It's a character.
It's not natural.
mary morgan
See, but when I see something like that, I just feel sad.
And when I see a guy doing the whole caricature of a woman thing, I'm grossed out.
You know what I mean?
You feel that way too?
phil labonte
I do.
mary morgan
You just feel sad when you see a woman doing that, but when you see a man doing it, you're like...
unidentified
Ew.
raymond g stanley-jr
You're like, dude, you're like a man.
What are you doing, dude?
phil labonte
But that goes to my point.
It's not about your sex spirit or your gender.
It's actually about the physical things that make you who you are.
mary morgan
Well, but I also just don't relate to the way you're expressing that because I'm religious.
I do believe that human beings have souls and I do believe that...
You are created male and female spiritually as well as physically.
There is a spiritual reality to being a woman.
phil labonte
So you think there is a gender to a spirit?
mary morgan
I don't know if gender is the right word for it.
I'm just saying you have a soul and it is primordially male or female.
raymond g stanley-jr
And you're saying maybe just expression in general?
Maybe not a gender thing, just like how you express yourself?
mary morgan
You're socialized a certain way based on whether you're biologically male or female, and maybe you could make an argument that you could call that process of socialization gender.
But that would be disingenuous anyway.
phil labonte
Yeah, it's a process of socialization.
It's a process.
It's not about what you are innately.
mary morgan
Of course.
phil labonte
Anyways, so anyways, we'll go back to the article.
The Hill says, I'll be ripped right out of schools.
The Education Secretary and Defense Secretary for schools run by the Defense Department are ordered to create a strategy for ending indoctrination in K-12 education within 90 days.
The order also reinstates the 1776 commission Trump created in his first term, telling all executive agencies to prioritize the advancement of patriotic education.
That is actually, in my opinion, the most important thing about this piece here.
They buried the lead there.
The idea that a society would educate its children to hate the society only guarantees that the society will destroy itself.
unidentified
100%.
Yeah, that blows my mind that we replaced patriotic, like learning about American greatness, and replaced it with CRT. Yeah.
I mean, let's just tell all of our kids they're victims and there's nothing they can do about it.
What greatness rises from that?
phil labonte
None.
I think that the most important thing, this could be one of the most important things that Donald Trump does in his whole presidency.
serge du preez
Yeah, dude, I think you're looking at it wrong, too.
Like, what greatness rises from that?
Nothing.
unidentified
Yeah.
serge du preez
That's the point.
Like, brother, like, they don't want anything to happen in this country.
They want everything to fail.
unidentified
Yeah.
phil labonte
Yeah.
serge du preez
Like, and that's, like, the thing that I think a lot of the right doesn't get, like, you understand the arguments of the left, you get what they're doing, but you have to understand the mindset.
The whole mentality is different than, like, your idea of patriotism and wanting to, like, make something of yourself, even yourself.
That's already antithological.
Oh, yeah.
It's an anathema to them.
They don't see the world like that.
And it's hard for you to do it, but when you adopt them, you can sort of understand where they're coming from, what they're swinging with.
You know what I mean?
unidentified
It's hard to understand something that you just can't fundamentally process mentally.
serge du preez
Exactly.
unidentified
I can't understand.
I'd have self.
If I was in North Korea and I say self, I'm in a work camp.
I didn't have a word for that.
I can't get my head on that.
Yeah, they don't really refer to themselves as themselves.
It's us.
It's we.
It's our.
And so they don't like in the language.
But it's just a different programming.
So when you have individualism and self-worth, it's hard to think that way.
So it is very difficult to understand.
serge du preez
It's funny, though, when you see people that always talk about the we and the us and the community and stuff like that, and then something happens to them like in Los Angeles, and then they're like, oh, wow, what was me?
What was my thing?
How am I feeling?
It's very funny how that immediately comes out when, like you said, they're talking about community and for myself as opposed to thinking about, oh, just...
Just myself.
It's funny though that the people that claim that they're often about their communities and stuff like that are often not.
They're doing it because it's self-serving because we've kind of gotten rid of the ability to actually have any social advancement.
There's no way to like gain social bucks in the world anymore unless you get in with this ideology and say, oh, I'm going to put all my eggs in this basket and suddenly like, you know, now it's all kind of coming to an end.
It's all crumbling and people have no idea what to do with it.
phil labonte
The bit goes on to say, which is actually very frustrating to read, but it says CRT, which is typically taught at the college and postgraduate level, has been around for decades and holds that race as a social construct embedded in American institutions.
This idea that it's only taught in colleges, that was something that you first heard when CRT kind of became part of the national lexicon, right?
So they said that they were talking about critical race theory, and the response from people in the media and stuff was...
Oh, that's only taught in colleges, right?
Because they don't...
When CRT is taught in grade school or high schools...
You're not teaching about CRT. You're using CRT as a lens to see the world through.
So you're not teaching kids about CRT. What you're doing is you're teaching kids to see the world through a power dynamic, through a racial power dynamic.
It teaches kids to see that minorities have been oppressed and they've always been oppressed in America and that they can't get out of the oppressed situation and that White people and men.
They're the oppressor.
And they've always been the oppressor.
And so when you teach kids that, you're not teaching them about CRT. You're teaching them to see the world through a critical lens.
Because CRT isn't just a subject.
It's a way to interact with the world.
Just like you were saying, if you don't have an idea of me, then you don't have the ability to think of yourself first, right?
And that right there is a worldview.
It's a way to experience the world.
And CRT, when it comes to grade school and high school, it's a way to teach kids.
It's not about teaching them specifically the theories behind CRT. It's teaching them, look...
These people are oppressed.
These people are not oppressed.
And that's why, whether it be critical race theory or whether it be critical gender studies, that's the same kind of oppression matrix.
It's just using different people as the oppressed.
And that falls under the whole intersectionality thing, whether it be intersectional feminism.
serge du preez
Yeah, dude.
phil labonte
Where women are the oppressed and men are the oppressors, or whether you're talking about critical race theory, where people of color are the oppressed and white people are the oppressor, or you're talking about critical gender studies, which means that the queer and the LGBT people are the oppressed and straight and heteronormative people are the oppressor, but it's all a Marxist power dynamic.
serge du preez
Exactly.
phil labonte
And it moved on from...
serge du preez
Critical theory, Hegelian critical theory.
phil labonte
Exactly.
Hegelian critical theory, exactly.
serge du preez
You see it once, you see it in everything.
You see CT in everything.
It's gender theory.
It's always theory.
It's teaching you how to think in a particular way.
It's indoctrination.
When I say it's not indoctrination, it's like, okay, well then why are you teaching people a way to think?
That's literally what it means.
phil labonte
And so when The Hill says things like CRT, which is typically taught at collegiate and postgraduate level, that's literally running cover for these ideologies.
They're trying to misrepresent what's going on.
mary morgan
How do we know how common this really is?
In public schools at the elementary school, middle school, high school level.
How do we know?
phil labonte
Anytime you see...
mary morgan
Because it must depend on the specific district and the individual school.
unidentified
It definitely varies.
mary morgan
How do we know?
phil labonte
Well, anytime you see, like, anytime you would see a Black Lives Matter flag or you would see the Pride Progress flag...
That's a real good...
mary morgan
At a public school?
phil labonte
Oh, yeah.
They were flying outside of the...
They were flying outside of embassies all over the world.
The U.S. had Black Lives Matter and...
mary morgan
I just wonder, like, how...
I don't know.
Like, I don't know how common this is because I never, like, went to...
phil labonte
Common enough where the FBI would say, look, we're going to go ahead and look into Americans...
mary morgan
I never went to public schools, so I just don't...
I don't know if...
raymond g stanley-jr
Dude, even if...
mary morgan
If this is, like, localized in certain...
Intensely liberal areas.
raymond g stanley-jr
We've talked on the show before about folks in rural areas who's had to live in rural areas.
In the rural areas, because it's getting there from the ladies, sorry, liberal women, they go to college, they do their teacher thing, and they bring their...
And process their critical theory over to any school they can.
And if they live in the rural area, they bring it to the rural area homeland.
So they're teaching in their own rural or homeland.
And even if it's, say, even if it's like 20%, 10%, whatever, get it the F out of here.
unidentified
Why is it always librarians?
That's what I want to know.
I feel like it's always a librarian.
raymond g stanley-jr
And teachers, too, you know.
unidentified
It was a rural school, and the first inkling of it where we lived in Oklahoma was like a librarian.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it was just like, because you said, went off to school, came back, and was like, well, I'm changing how the books are, and these are the books that are allowed and not allowed, you know?
phil labonte
Part of that problem is that these things aren't just taught in...
In schools, they first were taught in schools of education.
So when you had teachers going to school to learn to be teachers, they were told, this is how you should teach.
This all comes back to this guy named Paolo Ferreri, and he has a book called The Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
And that was put into...
It was written in the early 80s, and it made it...
Or maybe the 70s.
But it went through the schools of education like wildfire in the 80s and 90s.
And now all of the teachers learn a Marxist way of teaching.
And so your situation isn't that they're teaching...
This is why this is so dishonest.
It's not that they're teaching CRT. It's that all the teachers, when they're taught how to teach, they're taught these are the methods and all of the methods are critical race theory.
They're all critical.
They're all to have a critical lens and a critical lens means to be critical of the status quo and to look for the oppressed people and those people must be centered.
The marginalized people must be centered and the people at the center must be centered.
unidentified
So if it's that systemic, what does this do?
phil labonte
You know what I mean?
unidentified
What does it do?
phil labonte
Again, the most important thing in this, in my opinion, is the Project 1776, or the 1776 Commission, which says you cannot teach a curriculum that characterizes the United States of America as an evil.
raymond g stanley-jr
Only if they're funded by the federal government.
Because Trump can't make everyone do everything, right?
phil labonte
Fair enough.
unidentified
That's what I mean.
I don't want to look at this as a solve.
phil labonte
No, no, no.
unidentified
Not at all.
There's still a lot of work to do.
serge du preez
People are teaching this out of the curriculum, too, which we're going to address to Mary as well.
People are definitely just teaching this to their kids.
This is truth.
Again, it's all about framing how you think about it.
This is a religion to them.
This is the most important thing that is driving every single aspect of their daily life.
It's like, we have to push this because they literally...
We think that there are Nazis everywhere else around them.
And now, unfortunately, because of the Groypers and stuff, there are people that literally say this stuff and have these iconographs or whatever.
So, yeah, like Phil is exactly saying, it's so deep.
We already think about the world and the leftist framework altogether already.
So, like, it's...
I don't know.
mary morgan
What do you think on the bright side, though?
I don't think the kids are buying it.
serge du preez
No.
raymond g stanley-jr
No, no.
Amen.
serge du preez
You're right.
phil labonte
They're pushing.
They're definitely pushing back.
There's a group of them that are pushing back, and it tends to be young white guys, because young white guys are the ones that are told, hey, look, you're the problem.
You're the whole problem.
Blah, blah, blah.
And there's a certain...
And we were talking about this last night.
We talked last night.
There's, like...
This dude was talking, I read a tweet where a guy was talking about, he's like, I saw, you know, this kid that I knew, and he was upset because he kept being told that he was either, he was the worst, he was the root of all evil, he's a racist, blah blah blah, and now he's a girl.
And so what happens is, and he transitioned, which is part of the reason why kids are transitioning, because if you've got kids and you tell them, you're the problem, you're white, you're the problem, you're a male, you're the problem, you're always the bad person, blah, blah, blah.
You have two options.
You can either say, F you, and go and become far right.
And say, we're going to win at whatever cost.
We're going to take over because all this stuff has to be burnt to the ground because it's all corrupt.
Or if you're not that guy, then you say, well, I could always go ahead and call myself a girl and get all the kudos and everything.
It's literally because the LGBT lobby...
Or the LGBT identity is something that anyone can take up the mantle of.
If you're a normal straight white kid, normal straight white dude, you can say, okay, I can either be considered the bad guy all the time around all of my friend groups, I can be called all the names, or I can say that I'm poly.
Or I'm bi, or I can say that I'm a trans woman, a trans girl, and I can get all kinds of attention, and I can get all kinds of kudos, and blah blah blah.
So it's literally, they're given the option, you can either assimilate, and the LGBT mantle will allow you to absolve yourself of the sin.
Because again, it's like a religion.
It will either absolve you of the sin or you can embrace your inner...
Inner dark side.
And you can go ahead and say, well, F you.
Me and my friends are going to hang out and we're going to say whatever we want and we can be as crass and rude and say all the terrible things and it's fine around us.
And if we ever get the chance to take over, we're going to take over and we're going to burn it down.
unidentified
Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.
My kids are 10, 16, and 18. So I've got kids in that range.
Now, they're homeschooled, so they haven't been indoctrinated.
raymond g stanley-jr
Hopefully by you.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
I'm not doing CRT at the house.
But I see their friend group, and it is very contrarian.
They're just like, this is all stupid.
They swing so far the other way because it's not punk rock anymore.
You know what I mean?
That's the lame thing to do.
mary morgan
What do they respect?
unidentified
If they don't respect that, what do they respect?
Individualism, building businesses, investing, being successful.
Contributing to society as a functional member.
mary morgan
I feel like they're questioning the idea of contributing to society now.
Young people in that age range are questioning the whole idea of needing to contribute to the society that reviles them.
They're becoming more nihilistic.
unidentified
I can see where you're coming with that.
For me, at least with my kids, very business-minded.
It's different for everyone, but I can see where the outcome of that's like, F it, Atlas Shrugged.
I'm out.
We'll live in the woods.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, look, man, this is something that, like...
Whether you like his stuff or not, Jordan Peterson was predicting this 10 years ago.
He's like, look, you can't have young men not actually have a future in the society.
mary morgan
You can't do that.
They're creating their own worst enemies.
That's the white pill in all of this.
phil labonte
In 2015, when punch a Nazi was all the rage, all the people on the left and all the commies were like, it's okay to punch a Nazi and Ben Shapiro's a Nazi, right?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I was getting...
I was getting endless amounts of shit from people in the music industry because I was like, no, that's wrong.
You can't do that.
You're gonna make more Nazis.
And I swear to God, I was screaming at the top of my lungs.
Nobody wanted to listen, right?
Because I was the guy that was like, no, free speech is important.
Nobody wanted to listen because I had a foul mouth and I was like, no, it's important to be able to do this stuff.
Yeah, I see you.
raymond g stanley-jr
Jen, just watch.
If you want to get into it real quick, just one quick statement.
If you want to learn more about what's going on with the young men, white, Hispanic, just young men in general, what if Alt-Hist is in many great videos of the backlash that's going to happen?
mary morgan
He's going to go in through something right now.
raymond g stanley-jr
What?
mary morgan
That guy.
He's going to...
He's kind of going through something.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh, is he?
mary morgan
Yeah, he's kind of struggling right now.
phil labonte
He's getting a lot of help.
But yeah, I mean, look, these kind of problems are actually obvious when you look at the whole of the situation.
And you can't treat a whole generation of young people like they're the bad guy.
Like they're inherently evil.
raymond g stanley-jr
Lock the wall down.
It's gonna knock it down.
phil labonte
So, alright, we're gonna jump to this story here.
Trump will send 30,000 illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay.
It's a tough place to get out of.
I mean, I guess that's true, right?
It's an island.
Cuba's an island, at least.
And I don't think that if you break out of Guantanamo Bay prison, I suppose...
raymond g stanley-jr
The sharks everywhere.
phil labonte
I don't imagine that the Cubans are gonna go ahead and welcome you.
unidentified
That's the question.
What's worse, Guantanamo Bay or being in Cuba?
I don't think they're going to welcome that.
phil labonte
I don't know.
From the New York Post, President Trump said Wednesday that he plans to send up to 30,000 illegal immigrants to detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as part of his campaign to mass-deport migrants who have committed crimes.
Trump inked a memorandum requiring the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security to prepare for migrants there after previewing the plan while signing the Anti-Illegal Immigration at Lake and Riley Act.
Today, I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the Department of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay, Trump said.
Most people don't even know that we have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo Bay to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.
I mean, look, the idea that, you know, initially or...
15 years ago, 20 years ago, not quite 20 years ago, but 15 years ago, Barack Obama was saying that he was going to close down Guantanamo, and he never did.
And if it's still there, and they've got 30,000 beds, and we've got enough actual violent criminals, why not send them there?
unidentified
Well, I think the thing I've always been critical of, we've got catch and release in America, right?
Now we're just catch and release across the border.
They just come back.
And so you've got these people, vile criminals and rapists that are just going to come back.
Some of these people need to be in prison in our control for the rest of our lives.
raymond g stanley-jr
That's like what Trump's saying here.
At the bottom, he does say it.
Yeah, he said, we're going to send them out, they're going to give them back.
But why do we want taxpayer-funded going to these people?
unidentified
Well, there's the other option.
raymond g stanley-jr
We're going to spend more money on them.
We don't need to spend more money on them.
We just kick them out to where they came from.
If they come back, kick them back out.
I mean, I don't know how much it costs more, but I got there when I first got into the Fleet Marine Force.
Half of my company were from Guantanamo Bay.
So there are a lot of guys.
We talked a lot about it.
There's huge landmines, huge landmine field between the base and Cuba.
I don't think they got rid of it because I don't know if you can go through it and get rid of our landmines.
So there's protection there.
So if Trump's looking for folks to, you know, help assist, there were a lot of devil dogs back in the day who know that area and ground very well.
But either way...
unidentified
I think it's a good tool.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, I guess we can have it.
unidentified
We don't have to fill it up with 30,000 people.
But you got some really bad guys that you know are just going to cause problems on the other side.
Lock them up.
raymond g stanley-jr
I mean, I'd rather spend $10 million on Quartano Bay than giving it to wars overseas.
unidentified
Or have another Lake and Riley.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
unidentified
You know?
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, no doubt.
Yeah, I agree with you.
phil labonte
Trump added that some of them are so bad, we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back.
That, I think, is an actual, tangible problem.
If they won't receive them in the first place, they're threatening to turn away flights for whatever excuse they can come up with, whether it be, oh, the planes are inhumane or whatever.
Whatever garbage they can come up with, there's no reason to believe that they're going to actually just say, okay, we're going to try to make sure that these people don't get back to the U.S. Especially if they're already criminals and they've dumped them from out of their jails and prisons, like Trump says, if that's actually what's happened, I don't know that they're going to want to...
Hold on to them anymore.
unidentified
They want them gone as fast as possible.
raymond g stanley-jr
As much as we do.
phil labonte
What is the incentive to actually let them or have them stay in the country?
I imagine they would just be like, you know, hey, we can get them back into the U.S. somehow, get them out of here.
unidentified
Yeah.
And also, like, you need some kind of deterrent.
If I'm a guy that got kicked out and I'm told if I come back, I'm going to Guantanamo Bay, maybe I just stay in Cuba.
Maybe I just stay in wherever, right?
raymond g stanley-jr
Sure.
unidentified
But with no deterrent, you're just going to come back.
raymond g stanley-jr
You could be free in a country that you don't want to be in, or you could be locked in a box.
unidentified
What's the penalty?
raymond g stanley-jr
Pick, brother.
unidentified
What's the penalty for getting caught twice?
phil labonte
Well, no, I think the point is, like, the reason that they would go to Guantanamo is because there is no guarantee that they're going to be locked up in their home country.
raymond g stanley-jr
No, that's what I'm saying.
That's what I mean.
You could be not locked up in your home country, you could be free in your home country, or whatever country you live in, or you could be locked in a box.
mary morgan
You could be free in a country you don't want to live in.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, or be locked in a box in Guantanamo Bay.
mary morgan
Or be locked in Guantanamo Bay.
phil labonte
But what I'm saying is I think the reason that they're going to Guantanamo Bay is because they're not going to go to jail in their own country.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, but they could be free in their own country.
Whatever.
phil labonte
The point is they're criminals.
The reason that they got sent out of their own country is they're criminals.
So they were in jail and they get sent out.
The country that they came from isn't going to want them roaming around free because they're ostensibly violent criminals.
So they don't want them free.
mary morgan
Our country is basically becoming a landfill for human garbage.
raymond g stanley-jr
We know they don't want them.
We could give them a parachute, let them land, live life, or you can get a box bra.
What do you want?
That's what I'm saying.
phil labonte
I feel like you're missing my point, which is they're going to go to jail in their home country.
That's cool, too.
Which, again, obviously is fine for me.
But if they're going to go to their home country and their home country is going to facilitate them...
Trying to get into the United States again, why not put them?
That's the point, though.
The whole point is, like, the whole reason you would send them to Guantanamo and we would fund it is because if we send them to their home country, they're not going to lock them up and they're not going to keep them in their home country.
They're going to facilitate them coming back to the United States.
That's the point.
raymond g stanley-jr
You think the country would actually help them get back to the United States?
phil labonte
They helped them get to the United States in the first place!
raymond g stanley-jr
Besides letting them free and giving them some money, things are actually like, we'll get them through.
phil labonte
There have been multiple countries that have emptied out their prisons.
And they don't just let them open the prisons and say, go do what you want.
They facilitate getting them to the United States.
Because at this point, the U.S. doesn't have the open border that it used to.
But the process was, get them out of our country.
They're criminals.
Open up the prison.
Get them out of our country and send them to the United States.
And so the reason Trump would say, hey, Guantanamo Bay is because they have been sent here.
That's why he said they're not sending their best.
They're sending rapists.
They're sending murderers.
And some of them, I guess, are nice people.
But he articulated they are sending because that's what they're doing.
They're helping them.
They're facilitating them to come to the United States.
They're offloading their prisoners into the U.S. The reason for Guantanamo Bay is because they're...
They're sending them.
raymond g stanley-jr
I was conflating sending with allowing.
phil labonte
No, no, not allowing.
Actually helping facilitate.
mary morgan
Will there be follow through on this statement?
phil labonte
If they go to Guantanamo or if they what?
mary morgan
On Trump's statement, will there be follow through on sending them to Guantanamo Bay?
unidentified
Jobs too as well.
raymond g stanley-jr
Jobs for Americans.
unidentified
Oh yeah, he'll send them.
I think so.
I'd like to see him drop at a level.
I would like anybody who gets deported to be faced with going to Guantanamo if they come back.
Right?
As a deterrent to not come back to America.
Okay, you're out.
You're good.
We're even.
But if you come back, you're going over there.
phil labonte
I have no problem with that.
unidentified
Because otherwise there's no deterrent.
They're just going to come back.
raymond g stanley-jr
Dude, concrete walls.
I don't know if you guys have ever been to concrete wall.
A little 8x12 box.
They're the worst things.
It's not very fun.
So once they...
Even give them like a taste.
Give them like a year.
Probably get a year.
unidentified
Up forever.
raymond g stanley-jr
You know, I know.
And then we'll let you...
You know, if they take it back, take it back.
But once you're like...
Nobody wants to...
Nobody likes that.
unidentified
You're going to make Mexico work.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, it's a terrible, terrible life.
Have you ever been in...
mary morgan
To prison?
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
mary morgan
Me?
raymond g stanley-jr
Of course.
I'm just throwing it out there.
mary morgan
Little old me.
raymond g stanley-jr
We don't know about you.
phil labonte
Seven or eight people just stab, stab, stab.
raymond g stanley-jr
The human garbage that are coming here like she says.
unidentified
I told you not to mention that on air, Phil.
mary morgan
No.
raymond g stanley-jr
Just throwing it out there.
phil labonte
I don't think...
I don't think Mary's actually stabbed someone.
She's a very polite...
mary morgan
I've thought about it.
unidentified
Who hasn't?
phil labonte
I am extremely aware that you've thought about it.
unidentified
Who hasn't?
phil labonte
We've spoken off air.
She'll be looking at some of the stuff that we're talking about on PCC, and you can just see...
She shakes her head, and I can see the terrible things that she's thinking.
She doesn't actually articulate them.
She would never say it, but I can just...
She just goes...
There's like...
mary morgan
I'm actually a really nice person.
People don't know that.
phil labonte
She is really nice.
She's great.
BTW. Do you want to talk about that?
serge du preez
Just quickly before we go to Super Chats, I guess a plane reportedly crashed at DCA. I thought it was something to mention.
phil labonte
Search and Rescue.
If that would mean that it went to the Potomac then if they're doing Search and Rescue.
serge du preez
I don't know.
unidentified
What's DCA? DCA is the airport in Ronald Reagan.
serge du preez
It's Reagan Airport.
I was trying not to say Ronald Reagan, but yeah, Ronald Reagan's airport.
phil labonte
Why?
unidentified
It's the objectively inferior airport of DC. It definitely is.
Dulles is the goat.
mary morgan
Yes.
unidentified
You have a personal beef with RR? With Reagan, yeah.
serge du preez
Dulles has other staff that we can talk about, too, but we're not going to.
phil labonte
Actually, I prefer DCA. Personally, I prefer DCA to Dulles, actually.
serge du preez
I like the music.
unidentified
Crazy.
The music in your house.
phil labonte
Really?
Huh.
unidentified
I've always wanted to DCA. I hope everyone's safe and hope everyone at least as much as they can be.
serge du preez
Hopefully, we'll find out more about it in the future, but DCA Search and Rescue has apparently reportedly crashed, so if anyone wants to go look at it themselves, feel free.
phil labonte
Thank you, Serge.
Alright, well, I guess it is time to go to Super Chats.
So, let's see.
We'll go ahead and bring these bad boys up.
unidentified
Oh, look at that.
phil labonte
Yeah, there we go.
Shane H. Wilder says, still no Phil cast IRL slate?
If that spoon thief Seamus can get a slate, then why can't Phil?
I call shenanigans.
Look, man, I am just happy to help out when I can, right?
Like, I am here, I am available, and if I can come in and help out, I don't need any kind of special treatment.
I'm here to be a team.
serge du preez
Yeah, we'll get you one.
We'll make it happen.
Tomorrow we'll make it happen for you guys.
phil labonte
I imagine I will.
raymond g stanley-jr
Well, and, you know, with Tim away, it fills all that remains.
phil labonte
Jesus.
That was good.
raymond g stanley-jr
You can call it whatever you want.
serge du preez
That was from the chat.
That was from the chat, guys.
Yeah, it was chat.
unidentified
Anyway.
phil labonte
Man of History says, turning 26 tomorrow.
What do you think of ramen?
Look, man, if it's the cheap ramen, I'm okay with it.
But I don't want to go to a restaurant to get ramen.
I know people that are out there that are like, oh, I'm going to go.
serge du preez
That's the best kind.
phil labonte
Blah, blah, blah.
I can't.
raymond g stanley-jr
Grilled ramen.
phil labonte
Give me the 33 cent top ramen.
I'll eat that.
raymond g stanley-jr
Okay.
unidentified
Have you ever had soy sauce eggs?
phil labonte
No.
unidentified
I mean, that's like the reason to go.
serge du preez
So good.
Yeah.
phil labonte
I've seen them made where they throw a bunch of oyster oil or whatever, sesame oil and stuff, and then you leave hard-boiled eggs in there overnight or something.
unidentified
They look at me like I'm crazy.
I'm like, can I get ramen with six extra eggs?
Yeah, that's dope.
What?
And I'm like, yeah, six eggs, all the eggs.
phil labonte
Protein.
unidentified
Yes.
phil labonte
I feel you.
raymond g stanley-jr
Are you a fan?
phil labonte
I feel you.
mary morgan
Me?
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
mary morgan
Ramen?
raymond g stanley-jr
I don't know.
mary morgan
Yeah.
serge du preez
Yeah, it's good stuff.
That's just crazy.
That's a really crazy take.
That's probably the hottest take all night.
Saying you prefer Mara-chan and Nisen ramen.
I do, yeah.
Really?
mary morgan
I do, too.
unidentified
I agree.
He's got to be getting drug in chat right now.
That's wild, dude.
phil labonte
It's the chat, man.
It's like, this is one of the...
serge du preez
Yeah, don't look at our chat.
raymond g stanley-jr
Best chat.
serge du preez
Don't necessarily say the chat's comments with me or anyone.
phil labonte
Raymond's over here kissing chat's butt.
raymond g stanley-jr
Hey, I've been here for four years.
Rock and roll chat.
serge du preez
Yeah, I've ever seen the chat.
Before I even started working here.
raymond g stanley-jr
So you're OG. Yeah, this is 2020. Let's go.
phil labonte
Yeah, for real.
Quantum Strange Quark says, Elizabeth Warren starts off by saying that she is against Big Pharma, then proceeds to attack RFK Jr. for supporting lawsuits against Big Pharma.
serge du preez
It's so crazy.
phil labonte
You know?
serge du preez
It's the craziest thing, dude.
raymond g stanley-jr
Pocahontas at it again.
phil labonte
Just Cause I'm Free says, with Tim out, all that remains is to give the crew a big POB for filling in.
Or is that asking too...
Oh, man.
Asking too much.
When he slides in a song title into it at the end there.
That was good, dude.
That's better than most of the...
serge du preez
Shout out Just Cause I'm Free.
That was supreme.
That was a good one.
phil labonte
Let's see.
Cain Abel says, read that bill again, Phil.
It talked about harassment and violence against people.
People were harassed and violently assaulted by Hamas because they were Jewish or Christian.
Look, man, I already said, if it was actually assault, if that's why they're getting sent home, fine.
I'm totally fine with that.
I have no problem with getting rid of people that are going to break the law.
There's no reason for us to allow people here in the United States if they're criminals and if they're going to get into fights and break the law, get them out of here.
So, simmer down.
I'm on your team.
Simmer down now.
raymond g stanley-jr
Simmer down now.
phil labonte
Jordan Hodge says, total of $15 towards asking Phil why the lyric is, was, instead of were, and what if I was nothing.
Because it literally was taken from an argument that I had had with my ex-wife.
So it was literally exactly what I said to her.
That's why I took it.
Can you walk us through it?
Pardon me?
No, not at all.
But if I used improper grammar, it was because I was a little fired up at the particular time.
All right?
So, let's see.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm interested.
phil labonte
You can actually find the story on the internet, I'm sure.
mary morgan
You should write a memoir.
phil labonte
No.
raymond g stanley-jr
We all should at a certain point in your life.
Everyone should.
mary morgan
I mean that.
People would read that.
serge du preez
Nah, a book tour in like 10 years, Phil.
10 years.
phil labonte
10 years.
serge du preez
Give it some time.
mary morgan
Give it some time and then you'll write your tell-all.
phil labonte
I mean, if I were to do a memoir about all that remains and then I could do a memoir about my pod.
mary morgan
There'll be a whole chapter about Mary and how evil she is.
How I throw things at people.
unidentified
Come on.
phil labonte
No way.
raymond g stanley-jr
You're throwing things?
phil labonte
Me and Mary are homies.
mary morgan
No, no.
raymond g stanley-jr
I know she throws stuff.
mary morgan
I don't throw things at you.
phil labonte
That's because I'm alright and I don't give you too much help.
raymond g stanley-jr
Only Brett.
phil labonte
Have you thrown things at Brett?
mary morgan
Well, that's what everyone says.
phil labonte
I'm asking.
mary morgan
I'll keep my lips sealed.
phil labonte
Confirm or deny?
No?
mary morgan
No comment.
phil labonte
Alright, then fine.
raymond g stanley-jr
Keep those our heart at him.
phil labonte
Tetris991 says, Phil, I counted 24 ums in your open.
Also, can I get a scream from six?
No.
No, you can't.
raymond g stanley-jr
Not with that kind of talk, right?
phil labonte
And if I say um, it's because I'm thinking about what I want to say next.
Sorry.
mary morgan
I'm giving you such a hard time.
phil labonte
Oh, it's actually pretty chill here.
Ian Crossland for $2.
You sold all those bags.
Tim helped you sell all those bags of Ian's Graphene Dream.
And you go ahead and come up with a $2 Super Chat.
raymond g stanley-jr
Nice.
phil labonte
Disapproval.
Ian says, I love that Raymond G. Stanley Jr. guy.
raymond g stanley-jr
Excellent job in selling out, brother.
phil labonte
He loves you enough to spend $2.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'll see him later tonight, maybe.
serge du preez
That's the best part.
phil labonte
NYBSFP, because I don't think that says anything.
Like, I can't pronounce that.
RFK and Tulsi are getting the worst of it simply because Dems are a cult, and the cult's worst enemy is the member who leaves it.
That's it.
You know, I think that there's a certain amount of truth to that.
You know, I do think that there are people that are going to go after Tulsi because she is opposed to the quote-unquote deep state.
As, you know, the Director of National Intelligence, she would be in charge of, I suppose, making, you know, deciding what is and is not classified, or she would be helping decide that stuff.
And so that's something that would have...
The deep state concerned, I suppose.
And as for RFK, you know, I think that it's just that he's a...
I think that you're onto something.
He's a Kennedy.
He's supposed to be on the Democrat side.
unidentified
How dare you?
phil labonte
But he's been a libertarian.
He's actually been a registered libertarian for like a lifetime member, I think, for 20 or something years.
So even though he's not particularly libertarian, like when you talk to...
I mean, anytime you talk to a libertarian about another libertarian, they're both going to say that's not a real libertarian.
It's just the way that it goes.
But he's very interested in government action for a libertarian.
unidentified
I mean, who are you more mad at?
Any combatant fighting against you in the battlefield?
Or one of your own that changed sides?
phil labonte
Yeah.
unidentified
Right?
I mean, we hate traitors.
Yes.
phil labonte
Correctly.
unidentified
Yeah, correctly.
Rightfully so.
Amen.
And so for them, he's a traitor.
And I get why they hate him.
serge du preez
Speaking of traitors, we got one right there.
phil labonte
I'm not your buddy guy.
Says Democrats and media need to be held legally liable for their lies.
Trump press secretary's first debut highlighted why and who federal funds were being frozen for, and yet they still lied about it.
I wish that there was something that could be done, but...
When they're on the floor of Congress, they can lie and there is nothing that anyone can do about it.
They're totally exempt from legal action from anything they say.
So, I mean, I suppose if you're looking at things that they say in print or on X or whatever, they might be in a position to be held liable.
But even still, libel laws, dishonesty is covered by...
By the freedom of speech.
You can say whatever you want to say.
So I understand the sentiment, and I think I agree with the sentiment, but at the same time, it's not worth messing up the freedom of speech and the First Amendment stuff.
unidentified
It would be a terrible mess.
Plus, you've got to prove damages.
I mean, everything would become a quagmire, I think, at that point, and completely dysfunctional.
raymond g stanley-jr
I just hate the fact that they're supposed to be politicians, they're supposed to be representing people, and they're just blatantly lying when they're talking in front in this hearing.
It's disgusting and moral and terrible, and they should all be...
unidentified
The way to fix it is stop voting for these people.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, but the Dems are going to keep voting for the Dems.
unidentified
Yep.
phil labonte
I mean, if you go to X today...
raymond g stanley-jr
Same for the right, though.
You watch the people that are...
phil labonte
You watch the people that are...
Democrat operatives or whatever.
They are doubling down on everything.
There's names that everyone is probably familiar with if they are frequently on X and the names that you would expect.
They're all doubling down on all of the same talking points.
So there's always going to be people that will spread whatever BS the team they're on wants them to.
unidentified
Information warfare.
raymond g stanley-jr
Can we use the S word here?
They're all scumbags?
phil labonte
Yeah, I guess so.
Darien Gaming says, Been on Ozempic for 1.5 years and lost 100 pounds.
That's awesome.
Was able to learn what a portion size was due to decrease in appetite.
Most importantly, it got rid of my obsession with food.
It's a tool, not a cure.
That's actually a really healthy way to understand it.
As a tool, I do think that it's probably a pretty good thing because if you're a person that's housebound and you need to start.
unidentified
Start somewhere, right?
And like you said, he changed his habits.
That's the thing.
And he's under a doctor's care, I bet, too.
He's not taking this stuff out of a back room with nobody monitoring his muscle loss.
mary morgan
My question is just what happens when you get off of the drug?
Because for most people, from what I've seen, they say they gain the weight back.
unidentified
I think if you take it without any kind of...
It's not a holistic approach if you just go buy it from a friend and you start taking it.
Of course not.
But if you're working with a doctor and you're trying to change your habits and you personally in your heart want to change, then you will change.
Because if we can do it without Ozympic, we can definitely do it with Ozympic.
If I can lose weight and keep it off without drugs, you can definitely figure it out with something like a GLP-1.
serge du preez
Yeah, it only takes like three months to make a habit, right?
That's what they say.
unidentified
Yeah, 21 days to three months.
phil labonte
Pathways in your brain, as you reinforce a habit, it actually builds a pathway in your brain.
And every time you do it, it reinforces that pathway.
And so the actual proteins take...
About three weeks to start breaking down.
So there's a physical pathway that starts to break down in your brain.
So let's see here.
Polly Puree says, low animal fat diets brought on obesity.
Prior to those diets, obesity was uncommon.
The heart requires fat and won't shut off the hunger until it gets enough.
unidentified
That's so true.
phil labonte
Serge is down there dancing.
unidentified
He is, he is, guys.
serge du preez
If you aren't watching.
phil labonte
But yeah, it's true.
I mean, well, I don't know that it's true, but it does seem likely that the amount of carbs that people eat is way higher than it needs to be.
The food pyramid should have been turned upside down.
unidentified
No one sits in a Jenny Craig meeting that says, hey, I got fat-eating ribeye.
It's never the story.
I'm going to have a ribeye tomorrow, I think.
When you eat a 14 ounce ribeye, you're full.
You eat four donuts, well, you're hungry in two hours.
Of course you lose weight.
phil labonte
They go fast.
raymond g stanley-jr
The food pyramid being upside down back in the day is just nuts.
And how things were back in the day and how they thought about how you should eat breads.
serge du preez
They didn't.
That's the thing.
They didn't think that.
The problem is it's economic policy.
It was an economic policy to help the U.S. be able to grow a lot of food.
phil labonte
Farmers.
serge du preez
Yeah, farmers, etc.
It has nothing to do with what is actually healthy for you.
If you're in Econ and Eco 101, it's an economic policy that got changed into becoming our health policy for some stupid reason.
Corn subsidies and a lot of stuff like that.
phil labonte
If you Google the 2024 Farm Bill, the 2023 Farm Bill, every year the Farm Bill passes without any kind of Hubbaloo or whatever.
It's something that gets passed.
Almost everybody votes for it.
Very rarely is there any kind of problem.
And that's been the case forever.
And that's where all the subsidies are.
And the government has been paying farmers to grow corn because of corn subsidies forever.
And these kind of things are really, really bad.
And that's why...
When people say, hey, look, you should only venture into the inner aisles at the grocery store, very rarely.
And you shouldn't be buying very much.
Do your shopping in the produce department.
Do your shopping in the meat department.
Do your shopping in the dairy aisle.
And stay out of the inner aisles.
Get your cleaners there.
Maybe get some rice there.
But even still, you want to avoid the foods that have a lot of preservatives and stuff like that.
Or that are ultra-processed.
unidentified
Go buy food from your farmer's market only for four weeks and tell me how you feel.
Only go to a local farmer's market.
And just buy only what they sell and then see how you feel.
raymond g stanley-jr
When you mentioned that, Phil, I never thought about that, but I usually don't roll down the middle aisles unless I'm getting TP or something like that.
I don't do fake mashed potatoes or spaghetti.
phil labonte
I'll go into the house for spices and salt and stuff like that.
unidentified
Honey buns.
phil labonte
It's literally the exact opposite.
But listen, this is something that me and my girlfriend kind of bicker a little bit about.
I think it's important to have one day where you can eat whatever you want.
So you should eat healthy things all the time during the week.
We do Monday through Saturday.
And then on Sunday, I'm like, look.
If you've eaten healthy all week and you've gone to the gym and done your stuff, on Sunday you can go ahead and get buckwild.
Have your sugary stuff.
Have your cookies.
Have your brownies.
Exactly.
I will have Red Bulls because she hates that I drink Red Bulls.
She's constantly trying to get me to not drink Red Bulls.
But I'll have a couple Red Bulls on Sunday.
We'll get pizza on Sunday and then we'll have all that stuff.
But you do it on Sunday because during the week then it gives you something to look forward to.
And so that way it's not...
I can never have this again.
Again, all you have to do is say, no, not today.
Sunday.
We can get this Sunday.
Or on the cheat day.
You know what we could call it?
unidentified
We could call it moderation.
phil labonte
Yes.
raymond g stanley-jr
That's a novel idea, my friend.
phil labonte
But that's what I found to work best.
Eat clean during the week.
Eat good stuff during the week.
And then you have one day where you can go ahead and eat whatever you want.
Get weird.
Have your cinnamon toast crunch in the morning.
You know, the good sweets.
raymond g stanley-jr
What's a cookie skillet?
I want to know what a cookie skillet is.
phil labonte
It is this.
You get a cast iron little pan or whatever.
A little cast iron skillet.
And you make a cookie in there.
And it's...
raymond g stanley-jr
It's super great or something?
phil labonte
It gets brought out to your table hot.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
raymond g stanley-jr
Oh, okay.
Some ice cream on top.
It's got to be delicious.
unidentified
You know, for me, I found that the cheat day...
That I could do so much damage in a cheat day.
I had to go to a cheat meal a week.
phil labonte
Oh, really?
unidentified
I was able to wipe out an entire week of deficit with one cheat day.
I'm like, I didn't lose any weight this week.
I thought about Sunday, and I'm like, yeah, it's because I ate everything for an entire day.
phil labonte
Yeah, yeah.
I guess that does make sense.
But the idea of having something to look forward to makes the day-to-day deficit easier to deal with.
unidentified
I love tying the idea of hitting your gym target.
To the reward as well.
phil labonte
Yeah.
unidentified
Like, I didn't get five days.
I don't get to do it this week.
phil labonte
Okay.
That's a good idea.
There you go.
All right.
So, more super chats.
The Truth A. I'm from California, and when Obama was president, we saw a resurgence of measles and polio because of illegal aliens.
It was the left who were against having their kids get vaccinated against them.
Look, man.
Like I said, I think that the polio and the measles and those vaccines, those have a long history, and I think those are probably a good idea.
I'm not a vaccine hater.
And yes, that is true.
Illegal immigrants, there's no guarantee that they are vaccinated.
The people from South America that are from impoverished countries, they don't have the same kind of healthcare standards that we do here.
Cool.
Dados Prime says, I wrote a book, Awoken, A Modern Mythical Story.
Available now.
Two characters based on Serge and Ian.
Graphene included.
Serge liked my ex post about it.
Well, there you go.
Congratulations.
Go check out the Awoken, A Modern Mythical Story.
Available.
I'm not sure where.
Datos A Prime.
You can check him out on YouTube.
Maybe you can find it there.
I don't know where to get it.
Maybe just Google it.
unidentified
That might be the most efficient use of ad money I've ever seen in my life.
phil labonte
Was that $10?
unidentified
$10 for that?
That is a bargain.
phil labonte
It is definitely a bargain.
raymond g stanley-jr
No, I'm interested because I'd love to see the Serge character and the Ian character.
phil labonte
Let's see.
Grandpa's Play says, I've been on a diet for 11 weeks, started at 361 pounds, and I'm at 307 pounds.
Man, 11 weeks, that is awesome, man.
That is absolutely awesome.
raymond g stanley-jr
Cheers, bro.
Keep, yeah, don't stop.
Grandpa.
unidentified
It does get harder as you lose weight, though.
raymond g stanley-jr
Sure, sure.
Well, the bigger you are, the faster it is.
unidentified
Burning 5,000 calories a day, yeah.
phil labonte
Yeah.
Like you said, as you burn more, it gets harder to lose the last little bit.
raymond g stanley-jr
Gotta maintain.
phil labonte
Well, I mean, it's not...
If you're trying to get rid of the last little bit, you really do...
When I got into the best shape that I'd ever been in, like, I was doing cardio twice a day, morning and evening, and I was literally eating, like, four meals of just chicken and rice.
I did that for, like, six weeks, and I was shredded.
I was shredded at the end of that.
But, you know, it's tough to eat chicken and rice four meals a day for six weeks.
That is not easy.
And doing, you know, 40 minutes in the morning, 40 minutes at night, in addition to regular lifting and stuff, it was hard.
But, man.
unidentified
I'm not looking forward to prep.
phil labonte
What?
raymond g stanley-jr
Do you use any kind of spices?
phil labonte
Well, yeah.
raymond g stanley-jr
I wasn't sure.
You know, I don't know if it's straight.
You know what I mean?
phil labonte
There's also, like, there are a couple barbecue sauces that you can use that are sugar-free and stuff that actually helps with stuff.
unidentified
G. Hughes, sugar-free barbecue sauce.
phil labonte
Yeah, exactly.
Let's see.
Jimmy says, Trump said the border wall is moral because the Vatican has a wall.
He said this after the dumb, dumb people, dumb, dumb Pope decided to mouth off about his policy.
Look, man.
I have ideas about the Pope, and he seems like a weird Pope to me.
They're all weird Popes.
Well, they're, like, John Paul is the...
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm sorry, my bad, Mary.
phil labonte
I wasn't trying to bring you into this either.
But, like, Pope John Paul, to my recollection, Pope John Paul was, like, a pretty legitimate pope, right?
He was kind of like what you would expect a Catholic pope to be like.
mary morgan
What would you expect a Catholic pope to be?
phil labonte
Like a Catholic.
raymond g stanley-jr
Pope.
phil labonte
No, like a Catholic.
Like, actually do things that you would expect.
Well, so...
He was against abortion.
He didn't make excuses for abortion or things like...
Pope Francis is?
mary morgan
Yes.
phil labonte
He doesn't speak clearly about it as far as my understanding has been.
So again, I could be wrong, but I think that the liberation theology that some Catholics practice is a...
A bit of a bastardization of Catholicism.
It's a lot of left-leaning influence on Catholicism.
mary morgan
Not totally sure what you mean by liberation theology.
phil labonte
Well, we should probably talk about it.
Not here.
mary morgan
Maybe we'll find another time to talk about it, yeah.
serge du preez
Yeah, I hate to get in between the Protestants and Catholics fighting as a Protestant right now, but...
unidentified
Phil's Catholic, just for the record.
Phil's Catholic.
phil labonte
My girlfriend, Mary, and I have been to Catholic Mass multiple times, and we're going again this Sunday.
serge du preez
Wicked, I want to interrupt because we have a breaking update from Nick Sorder on the horrifying tower came out.
You guys can watch here.
Apparently, it says it's a mass casualty event.
Rescue boats are reportedly pulling bodies to the water.
See the impact right there?
phil labonte
That's terrible.
Something hit something in the air, the helicopter.
serge du preez
Yeah, they're saying it was a helicopter striking a plane.
unidentified
Wow.
serge du preez
A plane was crashing a helicopter landing at Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C. Fatality has been reported.
Mass search and rescue operation is happening in the Potomac River.
unidentified
Nick's in D.C. right now.
serge du preez
Yes.
That's why he's on scene right now reporting.
So I just wanted to point this out, guys.
Fox reporting that it was a military helicopter.
That's coming from our personal slack.
We can't corroborate that.
We don't really know right now.
That would make sense.
Military's on different continents.
phil labonte
Yeah, I mean, if you drive around that area, you see Blackhawks going everywhere from the Pentagon all the time.
The Pentagon's right there.
Literally, like, going to DCA, I pass the Pentagon every single time that I go to DCA. And so it's totally normal to see Blackhawks flying around that area.
And considering it's nighttime...
unidentified
It's terrible.
I had this similar situation happen to me last year where we took off from Greenville Airport and all of a sudden the airport plane just went like in a straight climb and then came back down and we're like, what happened?
He said a medical flight took off and just went left instead of right.
phil labonte
Oh, wow.
unidentified
And I mean, it easily could have ended up like that.
But I always thought about like...
What would happen?
Now we know it's not a good thing.
phil labonte
And there's a lot of traffic over there, whether it be just in DCA, but it's not just DCA there.
There's a lot of things in the air all the time.
raymond g stanley-jr
Thoughts and prayers as well.
unidentified
Yeah, that's terrible.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah, man.
phil labonte
Alright, so let's see.
Rogue Nomad says, Hell yes, Sean Hendricks.
Thank you for all you've done for us in Western North Carolina, man.
unidentified
Let's go.
Let's go.
phil labonte
Awesome.
raymond g stanley-jr
You have been kicking ASS, my friend, by the way.
unidentified
I appreciate it.
It's been quite the experience.
I feel like I've lived a lifetime in the last four months.
raymond g stanley-jr
No doubt.
unidentified
She's...
Yeah.
phil labonte
St. Miles says, really loving Mary's presence on the show tonight.
It adds a nice contrast to today's subjects, Christian and Young.
mary morgan
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
phil labonte
Let's see.
Ted Thornton says, every school day should start with the pledge followed by the shredded bald eagle with guns video.
America.
I mean, look.
I'm not 100% sure I'm on board with the pledge, but the shredded bald eagle with the guns video, I'm backing that.
raymond g stanley-jr
How dare you say that?
You're not on board with the pledge of allegiance?
phil labonte
The pledge of allegiance was written by a socialist in order to sell flags.
raymond g stanley-jr
I take back everything I just said.
I'll still read up on this.
unidentified
That's true.
mary morgan
Do you not say the pledge?
phil labonte
I don't say the pledge, no.
raymond g stanley-jr
I love the idea of it, but if it's social...
mary morgan
Prayer in schools.
phil labonte
I'm fine with prayer in schools.
But when it comes to the Pledge of Allegiance, you're pledging allegiance to the flag, right?
The point isn't to pledge allegiance.
Pledging allegiance to a flag misses the point.
If you were pledging allegiance to the Constitution, then that might be something worth doing.
Pledging allegiance...
unidentified
Well, it's for which it stands.
raymond g stanley-jr
One nation.
unidentified
Under God.
raymond g stanley-jr
Indivisible.
mary morgan
It's not the flag in and of itself.
phil labonte
It's for which it stands.
And to the republic for which it stands.
Yeah, I mean, I understand that.
serge du preez
You just say and to, which means you just say both the flag and.
phil labonte
Yeah, but again, it was, in my opinion, because it was written by a socialist, Who had...
mary morgan
What was this person's name?
phil labonte
I forget his name.
You want to...
raymond g stanley-jr
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
Wait, guys, talk.
serge du preez
Francis Scott Keyes.
Is that the declaration?
phil labonte
No, Francis Scott Keyes did the Star Spangled Banner.
serge du preez
Oh, that's Star Spangled Banner.
mary morgan
That's right.
Venkata Suba Rao?
raymond g stanley-jr
That was fast.
mary morgan
No, no, no.
It's not the same.
raymond g stanley-jr
Okay.
phil labonte
No.
mary morgan
Different one.
phil labonte
So, yeah.
raymond g stanley-jr
Yeah.
phil labonte
I don't like the idea of the Pledge of...
unidentified
Francis Bellamy in 1892. I went to Bellamy.
mary morgan
Bellamy was an American Baptist minister and Christian socialist.
serge du preez
There it is!
mary morgan
The original version of the Pledge is part of a magazine promotion for the World's Columbian Exposition, which celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas.
serge du preez
Yikes, Christopher Columbus.
I don't like those guys too much.
mary morgan
I'm not entirely sure what it means to be a Christian socialist.
phil labonte
Especially in 1892. This is the liberation theology conversation that we can have later.
Let's get back to some jazz.
I went to Bellamy Middle School.
Edward Bellamy, it was pretty well known that he was a socialist.
mary morgan
Is it Edward Bellamy or Francis Bellamy?
phil labonte
I'm sorry, Francis Bellamy.
unidentified
Okay.
phil labonte
Yeah.
So, yeah.
And, you know, look, I'm as patriotic as they get, right?
Like, I mean, I got the 13 colonies flag on my arm.
raymond g stanley-jr
Definitely not questioning that.
phil labonte
But I personally don't think that, you know, pledging allegiance, you know, I stand for the national anthem.
I'm not the guy that, you know, I take my hat off for the national anthem, even if I haven't shaved my head and I got a weird haircut or something like that, the hat comes off.
And I'll put my hand over my heart while the pledge is done, but I don't recite it myself.
serge du preez
Just a quick update as well.
It looks like it was an American Airlines regional that had a mid-air collision with a police helicopter.
unidentified
A regional.
So we're like a 50-60 seater.
raymond g stanley-jr
Watch it be a criminal alien they're going after.
serge du preez
Maybe.
raymond g stanley-jr
I'm just throwing that out there.
It's super conspiracy theory.
serge du preez
Yeah, tragic, truly.
You got one more there.
phil labonte
So yeah, let's see.
We've got time for one more.
The Draken says Congress should codify the term the people as used throughout the Constitution to something like the first sentence of the 14th Amendment.
Tenth Circuit Court pulled a definition out their asses that only pertains to 2A.
I'm not sure about the context of this here.
Yeah, just 2A. Well, yeah, I mean...
serge du preez
I figured I'd throw it at you.
phil labonte
Yeah, the Tenth Circuit Court, I don't know which...
There's a couple...
There's a couple cases that are before the Supreme Court now that are actually important regarding whether or not there can be semi-automatic rifle bans and whether or not there can be magazine capacity bans.
But I don't know if they went to the Tenth Circuit or if he's referring to those two.
So we're still waiting to find out if the court is going to hear those two cases.
And I'm hoping that they will in this session because these questions need to be answered.
A semi-automatic rifle be banned just because the state or a state says that rifle is scary.
And the argument that I believe is no, because, you know, shall not be infringed is pretty clear.
serge du preez
One more, I think.
Pick one of these ones, which one you feel is a cool one.
phil labonte
Okay, let's see.
UselessHumor says, I've been up and down from 500 to 300 about seven times in the last ten years.
Check gut biome.
Okay, that is a hell of a fluctuation, my man.
And I hope that you're like 6'4".
Because if you're like my height, going from 500 to 300 to 500, that is crazy.
Yeah, it's wild.
Glory Farm Knox says, thank you for reading my Super Chat Monday.
