Conspiracy! The Show 291: The Trump Assassination Theories

1
00:00:10,640 –> 00:00:15,720
Welcome to Conspiracy The Show,
the world’s most trusted

2
00:00:15,720 –> 00:00:21,560
conspiracy theory podcast with
your hosts, Adam Todd Brown and

3
00:00:21,560 –> 00:00:35,760
Olivia Hydar.
Hey everybody, welcome to

4
00:00:35,880 –> 00:00:39,480
Conspiracy the Show.
I’m your host, Adam Todd Brown

5
00:00:39,800 –> 00:00:43,400
joining me as Co host this week,
Connor Mcspadden’s here.

6
00:00:43,400 –> 00:00:46,280
Connor, how’s it going?
Good to be back in the trap, as

7
00:00:46,280 –> 00:00:49,360
always with you, Adam, at this
critical juncture in American

8
00:00:49,360 –> 00:00:51,240
history.
Yeah, we’re we’re coming

9
00:00:51,240 –> 00:00:53,720
together to heal the nation
right now.

10
00:00:53,960 –> 00:00:57,240
It is fun when you live every
day of your life reading about

11
00:00:57,240 –> 00:01:01,360
chemical chambers underneath the
Great Pyramid and Michael Aquino

12
00:01:01,360 –> 00:01:05,360
books and all this shit, and
then suddenly everybody’s a

13
00:01:05,360 –> 00:01:09,920
conspiracy theorist.
Everybody has an idea.

14
00:01:09,920 –> 00:01:13,240
All of a sudden, OK, now we’re
questioning the government.

15
00:01:13,240 –> 00:01:15,480
OK, everybody, now you don’t
don’t trust them either.

16
00:01:15,480 –> 00:01:16,320
Cool.
Good for you.

17
00:01:16,520 –> 00:01:20,640
Yeah, that is exactly how I feel
about this, because I’ve been

18
00:01:20,880 –> 00:01:25,200
hosting a conspiracy theory
podcast since 2016, Seventeen,

19
00:01:25,200 –> 00:01:29,280
something like that, and boy do
I get scoffs from people on the

20
00:01:29,280 –> 00:01:32,920
left when I mention that.
Every time I’m at a party and I

21
00:01:32,920 –> 00:01:35,960
just want to talk to people and
give them the good word about

22
00:01:35,960 –> 00:01:40,280
Elvis and that he’s still alive,
spreading good news, all the

23
00:01:40,280 –> 00:01:43,880
sudden I’m some kind of creep.
Yeah, CIA in Jonestown.

24
00:01:43,880 –> 00:01:46,600
That’s another party favorite
that I like to bring up.

25
00:01:46,800 –> 00:01:50,360
Oh, the Unabomber’s manifesto
actually being really good is a

26
00:01:50,360 –> 00:01:53,200
great Drew Michael joke, and
also just a fact about that

27
00:01:53,280 –> 00:01:56,160
piece of writing.
Yeah, it is a very good piece of

28
00:01:56,160 –> 00:01:58,160
writing.
If we’d followed the Unabomber

29
00:01:58,160 –> 00:02:02,640
manifesto from 1970, whatever to
today, we would live in a better

30
00:02:02,640 –> 00:02:06,000
society.
There’d be community vegetable

31
00:02:06,000 –> 00:02:08,639
gardens and fucking compost
heaps.

32
00:02:09,320 –> 00:02:12,280
Yeah, that is the very
uncomfortable truth about the

33
00:02:12,520 –> 00:02:15,280
Unabomber manifesto.
He’s kind of right.

34
00:02:15,560 –> 00:02:19,720
This is not uncomfortable to me.
I know I promised last week that

35
00:02:19,720 –> 00:02:23,720
we would be talking about Ronald
Reagan on this episode.

36
00:02:23,840 –> 00:02:27,160
Total 180.
But as everyone knows, something

37
00:02:27,160 –> 00:02:29,360
happened.
So now we’re talking about other

38
00:02:29,360 –> 00:02:32,560
Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump.
It actually is the opposite of

39
00:02:32,560 –> 00:02:35,560
Ronald Reagan because it was a
guy who had the right size gun

40
00:02:35,840 –> 00:02:38,880
but the wrong accuracy.
As opposed to Ronald Reagan, it

41
00:02:38,880 –> 00:02:41,400
was a guy with the incorrect
size gun with the correct bullet

42
00:02:41,400 –> 00:02:45,720
placement.
Yeah, the first thing I thought

43
00:02:45,720 –> 00:02:49,800
when I heard that Trump was shot
but survived.

44
00:02:49,960 –> 00:02:52,880
My immediate thought was, man,
this guy really does think he’s

45
00:02:52,880 –> 00:02:56,400
Reagan, huh?
Yeah, make America great again,

46
00:02:56,760 –> 00:02:58,000
you know?
All of it.

47
00:02:58,240 –> 00:03:01,840
Even presidents are just
corporate reboots now, you know.

48
00:03:01,920 –> 00:03:07,600
Yeah, he is really following in
Reagan’s footsteps and that this

49
00:03:07,600 –> 00:03:11,040
also happened.
It seems almost too perfect.

50
00:03:11,280 –> 00:03:13,560
But I guess that’s what we’re
going to talk about today

51
00:03:13,560 –> 00:03:17,040
because there have been a lot of
conspiracy theories that have

52
00:03:17,040 –> 00:03:20,000
popped up around this.
And I don’t think that’s

53
00:03:20,000 –> 00:03:23,440
unwarranted.
I just wish the left would take

54
00:03:23,440 –> 00:03:27,760
this as a moment to realize that
questioning the government isn’t

55
00:03:27,760 –> 00:03:30,000
a thing you should get mocked
for.

56
00:03:30,120 –> 00:03:33,400
So let’s just dive into some of
these theories.

57
00:03:33,400 –> 00:03:37,120
There’s a bunch of them, some
more believable than others.

58
00:03:37,360 –> 00:03:41,520
The one I have heard the most I
would say is a pretty innocuous

59
00:03:41,520 –> 00:03:45,280
one, which is Trump wasn’t hit
by a bullet, he was hit by a a

60
00:03:45,280 –> 00:03:47,560
piece of glass from a broken
teleprompter.

61
00:03:47,600 –> 00:03:48,960
That was the one I was going to
bring up.

62
00:03:48,960 –> 00:03:50,800
I don’t even know why you would
make that a theory.

63
00:03:50,800 –> 00:03:54,560
OK, It was a different minor
injury caused by the shot of a

64
00:03:54,560 –> 00:03:56,760
gun.
Yeah, it seems like one of the

65
00:03:56,760 –> 00:04:01,040
most unimportant details to me
because it doesn’t make what

66
00:04:01,040 –> 00:04:03,560
happened not an attempted
assassination.

67
00:04:03,760 –> 00:04:08,040
Exactly, and I also think the
photo of the really long bullet

68
00:04:08,040 –> 00:04:12,080
flying through the air into his
ear is pretty good evidence.

69
00:04:12,920 –> 00:04:14,440
Yeah.
Have you seen that picture?

70
00:04:14,680 –> 00:04:17,720
Yeah, that picture is wild.
You know, when that guy was

71
00:04:17,720 –> 00:04:20,000
going through his shots, he was
like, fuck yeah, I’m getting

72
00:04:20,000 –> 00:04:23,760
that kitchen remodel.
Yeah, that guy, I hope is rich

73
00:04:23,920 –> 00:04:26,000
now.
Yeah, probably not, because he

74
00:04:26,000 –> 00:04:27,920
was just doing it in the course
of his own.

75
00:04:28,000 –> 00:04:31,160
Oh if like fucking Huffington
Post already owns that picture

76
00:04:31,160 –> 00:04:34,400
and just gets a flat rate.
New York Times Salary.

77
00:04:34,600 –> 00:04:37,600
That is like every story about.
Oh, and this album cover was

78
00:04:37,600 –> 00:04:42,280
designed by a Bavarian woman who
got paid 3 pennies and a loaf of

79
00:04:42,280 –> 00:04:44,360
bread.
So yeah, this theory that a

80
00:04:44,360 –> 00:04:48,640
piece of glass hit him, I trust
Snopes about as much as I trust

81
00:04:48,720 –> 00:04:52,160
Trump.
But Snopes did nail it when it

82
00:04:52,160 –> 00:04:57,120
comes to this theory.
If your claim is that Trump was

83
00:04:57,120 –> 00:05:00,280
hit by a piece of glass from a
broken teleprompter, you can

84
00:05:00,280 –> 00:05:04,640
just look at the pictures of
Secret Service taking him away.

85
00:05:04,800 –> 00:05:08,040
If you look at a wide shot, you
see both teleprompters are

86
00:05:08,120 –> 00:05:10,640
completely unharmed.
So.

87
00:05:10,800 –> 00:05:14,440
Game set and match.
Is there a name for the piece of

88
00:05:14,440 –> 00:05:16,320
glass?
Guys like glass heads, Like

89
00:05:16,640 –> 00:05:19,880
fucking glass heads know that
this was all a fucking hoax.

90
00:05:21,040 –> 00:05:24,880
That wouldn’t surprise me.
And again, even if it was glass

91
00:05:24,960 –> 00:05:27,720
that hit him, that part doesn’t
matter.

92
00:05:28,120 –> 00:05:30,320
The fucking picture of him
pumping his first.

93
00:05:30,360 –> 00:05:31,640
I forget who I saw point this
out.

94
00:05:31,640 –> 00:05:34,160
That’s not my observation.
But someone was like, so Donald

95
00:05:34,160 –> 00:05:37,120
Trump literally got shot in the
head, fell down to his knees,

96
00:05:37,320 –> 00:05:41,440
realized he was fine, thought
it’s content time, and then

97
00:05:41,440 –> 00:05:44,640
popped back up and was like, let
me get some fucking gifts going

98
00:05:44,640 –> 00:05:47,680
for the revolution.
I mean, that was smart of him.

99
00:05:47,880 –> 00:05:50,880
He’s an absolute master at
human.

100
00:05:51,560 –> 00:05:55,360
Like, there’s like a quality in
comedy where if you’re on stage

101
00:05:55,360 –> 00:05:58,120
telling jokes to people, you
have to have this kind of like

102
00:05:58,200 –> 00:06:01,200
alpha confidence.
I hate to use that terminology

103
00:06:01,200 –> 00:06:03,480
because it’s so beaten to death,
but you have to, you know,

104
00:06:03,480 –> 00:06:06,280
project a certain kind of like
animal dominance.

105
00:06:06,520 –> 00:06:11,520
And he just understands that
fucking dynamic so well as a

106
00:06:11,520 –> 00:06:14,640
roast comedian, someone who’s
literally picked apart and

107
00:06:14,640 –> 00:06:19,160
studied the fucking science of
dominating another person, in

108
00:06:19,160 –> 00:06:21,400
this case, let’s say Joe Biden.
He just gets it.

109
00:06:21,400 –> 00:06:23,000
Once I saw that, I was like, oh,
we’re so fucked.

110
00:06:23,000 –> 00:06:26,480
He played that so perfectly.
Whoever ends up running against

111
00:06:26,480 –> 00:06:30,320
him in November, it’s bad for
them because this is going to be

112
00:06:30,320 –> 00:06:35,480
hard to overcome.
That is a fucking iconic photo.

113
00:06:35,600 –> 00:06:38,800
And what other assassination
attempt do we have that kind of

114
00:06:38,800 –> 00:06:39,880
photo?
None.

115
00:06:40,000 –> 00:06:43,160
Yeah, maybe there’s like a
daguerreotype of Theodore

116
00:06:43,160 –> 00:06:46,960
Roosevelt finishing his speech
or something, but even then it’s

117
00:06:46,960 –> 00:06:50,360
not as impactful.
And, and almost nobody is like

118
00:06:50,480 –> 00:06:53,560
putting together a case that
Trump staged this to make

119
00:06:53,560 –> 00:06:56,600
himself look good.
You know, everyone seems to be

120
00:06:56,600 –> 00:07:01,560
buying that this was either a
lone wolf or some sort of shady

121
00:07:01,840 –> 00:07:05,080
deep state political machine.
No one’s like he did this

122
00:07:05,080 –> 00:07:07,440
himself for clout.
You know he seems to have gotten

123
00:07:07,440 –> 00:07:09,720
the clean fucking PR moment out
of.

124
00:07:09,720 –> 00:07:14,320
It, I mean, that was one of the
big conspiracy theories on the

125
00:07:14,320 –> 00:07:16,640
left after this was that he
staged it.

126
00:07:16,760 –> 00:07:22,920
And I don’t know, I really hate
the way that is being covered

127
00:07:23,120 –> 00:07:26,640
because listen, we’re talking
about the only U.S.

128
00:07:26,640 –> 00:07:29,760
President to ever receive a
Stone Cold stunner.

129
00:07:31,760 –> 00:07:35,800
If you watch that clip, Donald
Trump knows how to act.

130
00:07:36,200 –> 00:07:40,400
Wrestling is fake, but also you
have to sell it and make it look

131
00:07:40,400 –> 00:07:43,760
convincing.
And he takes the shit out of

132
00:07:43,760 –> 00:07:47,360
that kick to the stomach,
followed by a Stone Cold stunner

133
00:07:47,520 –> 00:07:51,720
from Stone Cold Steve Austin.
So people can fucking miss me

134
00:07:51,720 –> 00:07:55,680
with the idea that Trump
couldn’t have staged this.

135
00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:59,560
He’s an actor, he’s an
entertainer, he’s a personality.

136
00:07:59,560 –> 00:08:02,560
He would be the perfect
president or presidential

137
00:08:02,560 –> 00:08:05,160
candidate to pull some shit like
this with.

138
00:08:05,360 –> 00:08:10,680
And I think the one good point
I’ve heard in regards to this

139
00:08:10,680 –> 00:08:15,080
being staged is since when does
Secret Service just let you

140
00:08:15,360 –> 00:08:19,400
stand there and pump your fist
when there are bullets flying

141
00:08:19,400 –> 00:08:22,120
around?
That part I guess is weird.

142
00:08:22,280 –> 00:08:25,040
That is weird.
I could also just see, OK, I’m

143
00:08:25,040 –> 00:08:28,080
the Secret Service, and then
here’s the most popular guy of

144
00:08:28,080 –> 00:08:29,760
all time telling me to do
something.

145
00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:31,360
I don’t know.
He’s the boss.

146
00:08:31,480 –> 00:08:35,200
And also it seems like they had
to have known the shooting was

147
00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:38,039
done by then.
I feel like in some of those

148
00:08:38,039 –> 00:08:40,600
clips you can hear someone yell
threat down or some shit like

149
00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:41,720
that.
Yeah, I don’t think they would

150
00:08:41,720 –> 00:08:45,520
have gotten up if there was
still an active shooter.

151
00:08:45,520 –> 00:08:47,560
And that’s one of the things
people have been saying is, oh,

152
00:08:47,560 –> 00:08:50,000
there’s an active shooter and
then you just pick him up and

153
00:08:50,000 –> 00:08:52,480
take him off stage.
I think the shooting was done by

154
00:08:52,480 –> 00:08:56,000
that point because that would
have been crazy right now.

155
00:08:56,040 –> 00:08:57,280
We got to go now.
Fuck it.

156
00:08:57,640 –> 00:09:01,360
This is already a rather messy
coup of whatever kind it is, but

157
00:09:01,360 –> 00:09:03,600
that would have just been really
embarrassing.

158
00:09:03,760 –> 00:09:07,360
So the idea that it was staged.
I guess you could have a blood

159
00:09:07,360 –> 00:09:09,560
pack in the ear, you know, or
something like.

160
00:09:09,640 –> 00:09:13,120
There’s also blading, which is
what they do in wrestling, like

161
00:09:13,120 –> 00:09:15,600
when you see someone bleeding
from their forehead.

162
00:09:16,080 –> 00:09:19,800
Oh, he went down and then he had
a little fucking razor in his

163
00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:22,720
cuff link or whatever.
Yeah, like tape around his

164
00:09:22,720 –> 00:09:24,800
finger maybe, And you get rid of
that.

165
00:09:25,280 –> 00:09:27,440
I don’t know.
It could have been faked because

166
00:09:27,440 –> 00:09:30,920
one of the arguments you hear
against it is, well, it was all

167
00:09:30,920 –> 00:09:32,760
on TV.
How could it be fake?

168
00:09:32,840 –> 00:09:35,800
No one’s saying that there
weren’t shots fired like a guy

169
00:09:35,800 –> 00:09:38,200
died in the audience.
So of course that.

170
00:09:38,320 –> 00:09:40,880
Yeah.
And also I think a better

171
00:09:40,880 –> 00:09:45,360
question would be did they have
inkling that this was going to

172
00:09:45,360 –> 00:09:49,160
happen and just let it get to
that point where they could

173
00:09:49,160 –> 00:09:51,160
shoot someone?
But God, that would be risky.

174
00:09:51,280 –> 00:09:54,640
But seems like that’s some of
the most damning evidence for

175
00:09:54,640 –> 00:09:57,360
this being some sort of deep
state coup to me.

176
00:09:57,360 –> 00:10:01,520
This is a very serious
government agency.

177
00:10:01,520 –> 00:10:04,720
And it’s part of their policy
that secure rooftops within a

178
00:10:04,720 –> 00:10:06,560
certain perimeter.
And these rooftops are all

179
00:10:06,560 –> 00:10:08,920
unsecured.
The protocol then says if you

180
00:10:08,920 –> 00:10:11,080
don’t have enough Secret Service
guys, stick some fucking local

181
00:10:11,080 –> 00:10:13,000
cops up there.
And there was no local cops up

182
00:10:13,000 –> 00:10:15,000
there.
And it wasn’t like there wasn’t

183
00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:16,960
an abundance of them milling
around the rally.

184
00:10:16,960 –> 00:10:18,320
There’s videos of them all over
the place.

185
00:10:18,320 –> 00:10:21,280
Put four of them on the roof.
They were in the building he was

186
00:10:21,280 –> 00:10:23,480
on.
That’s where the police were

187
00:10:23,480 –> 00:10:26,600
staged.
Hey fellas, do you guys hear

188
00:10:26,600 –> 00:10:27,840
something on the roof?
Nah.

189
00:10:28,760 –> 00:10:31,240
That’s probably fine.
Chomps Donut.

190
00:10:32,560 –> 00:10:35,440
I’ve been thinking this is a
complete sidebar, but how does

191
00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:38,520
the guy whose YouTube channel he
was wearing the merch of feel

192
00:10:38,520 –> 00:10:40,480
about this?
He was wearing YouTube merch

193
00:10:40,480 –> 00:10:42,360
from like a guy with like a Gun
channel.

194
00:10:43,080 –> 00:10:45,800
He’s got to be like, oh this is
the best and worst Press of all.

195
00:10:45,960 –> 00:10:49,200
His followers have got to have
some large percentage of Trump

196
00:10:49,200 –> 00:10:51,720
people that are like this guy
tried to kill the rest.

197
00:10:52,280 –> 00:10:55,200
Yeah, that, I mean, I can kind
of relate.

198
00:10:55,200 –> 00:11:00,000
There was the the mass shooting
in I think it was Dayton, OH.

199
00:11:00,200 –> 00:11:04,440
I’m almost positive that guy
wasn’t on Pops listener.

200
00:11:04,680 –> 00:11:08,840
Really.
He was definitely familiar with

201
00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:13,920
the cracked orbit because he had
quote tweeted a video by Cody

202
00:11:13,920 –> 00:11:15,360
Johnston.
OK.

203
00:11:15,680 –> 00:11:19,560
And the caption he wrote just
said Vote Blue no matter who and

204
00:11:19,560 –> 00:11:21,160
that’s the fucking Dayton
shooter.

205
00:11:21,440 –> 00:11:23,880
Wow.
So that I I remember.

206
00:11:24,200 –> 00:11:26,400
So there’s a chance that he
popped in a clip and he’s like,

207
00:11:26,400 –> 00:11:28,840
I’m going to do to them what
Conor Mcspadden did to Randall

208
00:11:28,840 –> 00:11:31,440
Maynard.
Possibly.

209
00:11:32,160 –> 00:11:34,680
Yeah, that was jarring.
It’s a great Doug Stanhope bit

210
00:11:34,680 –> 00:11:37,200
about reading the Christopher
Dorner Manifesto and thinking

211
00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:41,280
like he heard that he listed his
ten favorite comedians, so he’s

212
00:11:41,280 –> 00:11:43,880
reading this manifesto with
Glee, going finally my big

213
00:11:43,880 –> 00:11:46,640
break, and he’s like, I got to
the fucking list and I was

214
00:11:46,640 –> 00:11:49,040
snubbed.
You’re telling me that the

215
00:11:49,040 –> 00:11:52,000
comedy stylings of Margaret Show
make you want to commit

216
00:11:52,000 –> 00:11:55,600
genocide?
The Christopher Dorner Manifesto

217
00:11:55,600 –> 00:11:57,720
is a wild fucking.
Ride.

218
00:11:57,880 –> 00:12:02,320
I haven’t read all of that one.
The Elliot Rodgers one is pretty

219
00:12:02,320 –> 00:12:06,120
fucking sad like that.
It is AI don’t know, just it’s

220
00:12:06,200 –> 00:12:08,920
like seeing a 4 Chan guy’s inner
thoughts is rough.

221
00:12:09,040 –> 00:12:11,720
The Dorner one is kind of like
all over the place and he’s he’s

222
00:12:11,720 –> 00:12:13,560
like, and here are some of my
favorite recipes.

223
00:12:13,680 –> 00:12:17,240
Yeah, he at one point expresses
regret that he’s not going to

224
00:12:17,240 –> 00:12:19,000
get to see the third Hangover
movie.

225
00:12:24,520 –> 00:12:26,360
Good news, Chris didn’t miss
much.

226
00:12:26,440 –> 00:12:28,920
That movie kind of sucked.
You know what I always think

227
00:12:28,920 –> 00:12:31,520
about is that Joseph Mangala
live to see Star Wars.

228
00:12:31,840 –> 00:12:37,480
Motherfucker died in 1979.
So the way this idea that maybe

229
00:12:37,480 –> 00:12:41,600
Trump’s team staged this, the
way it’s being covered, really

230
00:12:41,760 –> 00:12:43,760
bothers me.
Let me just read one of the

231
00:12:43,760 –> 00:12:46,560
quotes.
We’ll link to an article on the

232
00:12:46,720 –> 00:12:50,320
Washington Post about the
theories that have popped up

233
00:12:50,320 –> 00:12:54,600
about this being staged.
And here’s a quote from Mike

234
00:12:54,600 –> 00:12:58,360
Rothschild, who apparently wrote
a book about Q Anon.

235
00:12:58,600 –> 00:13:00,880
That’s bold.
Imagine still getting into the

236
00:13:00,880 –> 00:13:03,560
conspiracy biz with a last name
like Rothschild.

237
00:13:05,960 –> 00:13:07,920
Maybe it’s one of these things
like where if you run for

238
00:13:07,920 –> 00:13:10,680
election as a Kennedy, you just
get 5% of the vote no matter

239
00:13:10,680 –> 00:13:12,160
what because people like that
guy.

240
00:13:12,880 –> 00:13:17,840
Could be this is his quote about
people claiming this was staged.

241
00:13:18,080 –> 00:13:21,240
It’s coming from major leftist
and liberal resistance

242
00:13:21,320 –> 00:13:25,960
influencers who believe that
Trump is so devious that he’d

243
00:13:25,960 –> 00:13:29,400
fake his own assassination
attempt in order to help his

244
00:13:29,400 –> 00:13:31,080
campaign.
End Quote.

245
00:13:31,280 –> 00:13:33,240
Motherfucker.
He is that devious.

246
00:13:33,440 –> 00:13:36,600
We know that about Trump.
Of course he would do that shit.

247
00:13:36,760 –> 00:13:40,200
That’s not a fucking defense.
Or you think Trump’s a bad guy

248
00:13:40,200 –> 00:13:41,640
now.
Yeah, I have forever.

249
00:13:41,800 –> 00:13:44,680
Forever and ever and ever.
He probably when he got hit in

250
00:13:44,680 –> 00:13:47,640
the ear and when he was fell to
the ground and had that moment

251
00:13:47,640 –> 00:13:50,120
where he realized that this was
going to be incredible content

252
00:13:50,120 –> 00:13:52,960
for his campaign, he probably
for a second thought, man, I

253
00:13:52,960 –> 00:13:54,520
should have thought of this.
This is good.

254
00:13:54,720 –> 00:13:56,840
This is clean man.
This works.

255
00:13:57,120 –> 00:13:59,800
Yeah, I don’t buy that argument
at all.

256
00:13:59,960 –> 00:14:01,840
That oh, Trump’s too good of a
guy.

257
00:14:02,200 –> 00:14:04,360
No.
Seeing any politician is too

258
00:14:04,360 –> 00:14:07,840
moral to do any publicity stunt
is foolish.

259
00:14:07,920 –> 00:14:11,440
At least any president, because
the things presidents have to

260
00:14:11,440 –> 00:14:16,480
sign off on, it requires at
least a little bit of amorality.

261
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:20,040
At the very least that a degree
of emotional detachment, you

262
00:14:20,040 –> 00:14:20,880
know?
Yeah.

263
00:14:20,880 –> 00:14:25,000
To go fucking pose for photos at
an Easter egg hunt in the Rose

264
00:14:25,000 –> 00:14:28,000
garden, well you’re just like
signed a piece of paper to

265
00:14:28,000 –> 00:14:31,600
fucking blow up 7 Yamini
weddings or whatever it is on

266
00:14:31,600 –> 00:14:34,800
that day, you know?
Yeah, and we’re talking about a

267
00:14:34,800 –> 00:14:41,080
guy who is campaigning on a
platform of immigrants are

268
00:14:41,080 –> 00:14:43,640
poisoning the blood of this
country.

269
00:14:43,800 –> 00:14:47,160
And so we need to round up 10
million of them and send them to

270
00:14:47,160 –> 00:14:49,080
camps.
That’s the actual.

271
00:14:49,080 –> 00:14:55,720
Plan beautiful camps, very nice
camps, barracks and latrines.

272
00:14:56,200 –> 00:14:59,920
The finest latrines.
I don’t do Trump, but that would

273
00:14:59,920 –> 00:15:02,640
be funny if the deportation
camps were all really gaudy.

274
00:15:02,640 –> 00:15:04,160
Have you ever stayed at a Trump
hotel?

275
00:15:04,160 –> 00:15:07,360
Everything looks nice but it’s
like your stupidest neighbor’s

276
00:15:07,360 –> 00:15:10,480
idea of nice.
Like 45 year old fucking white

277
00:15:10,480 –> 00:15:13,360
guy’s idea of wow.
It’s shiny and gold.

278
00:15:13,520 –> 00:15:16,480
It actually wouldn’t surprise me
because that would just give

279
00:15:16,480 –> 00:15:20,040
right wingers another reason to
be like, see, it’s fine, they’re

280
00:15:20,040 –> 00:15:23,520
living better than I am.
They love having the excrement

281
00:15:23,520 –> 00:15:26,920
hosed off of them in the yard
before exercise, so.

282
00:15:27,360 –> 00:15:31,720
Yeah, I don’t think this was
staged, but I also understand

283
00:15:31,720 –> 00:15:35,400
why people would ask.
And I don’t think asking that

284
00:15:35,400 –> 00:15:37,760
question makes you a conspiracy
theorist.

285
00:15:37,760 –> 00:15:41,400
You just have a healthy
skepticism of the government.

286
00:15:41,560 –> 00:15:45,040
No, and I also don’t think it’s
insane to ask OK why?

287
00:15:45,040 –> 00:15:49,120
Why did this crack team of super
soldiers fuck this up so God

288
00:15:49,120 –> 00:15:51,960
damn badly?
You know, if the, if that’s the

289
00:15:51,960 –> 00:15:53,800
one thing we’re supposed to be
able to do correctly as a

290
00:15:53,800 –> 00:15:58,960
country is engage in war, why
did our literal S S private

291
00:15:58,960 –> 00:16:01,680
fucking in the war unit?
Why were they all out to lunch?

292
00:16:01,680 –> 00:16:04,280
You know, there’s tons of videos
of that sniper having a fucking

293
00:16:04,280 –> 00:16:06,960
shot on that guy for a few
seconds and just kind of going,

294
00:16:06,960 –> 00:16:08,960
oh, weird.
I wonder what that dude is doing

295
00:16:08,960 –> 00:16:10,280
laying down on that roof over
there.

296
00:16:10,320 –> 00:16:13,840
Yeah.
And I think part of it also is

297
00:16:13,840 –> 00:16:18,280
that like too soon kind of idea
because we get to ask all the

298
00:16:18,280 –> 00:16:22,880
questions we want about JFK.
People saying it’s too soon.

299
00:16:22,880 –> 00:16:25,120
He wasn’t even fighting for his
life or anything.

300
00:16:25,120 –> 00:16:28,920
He was clearly in no grave
fucking physical danger by the

301
00:16:28,920 –> 00:16:31,080
time the fucking shooter had
been killed and he was moved off

302
00:16:31,080 –> 00:16:32,040
stage.
I don’t know.

303
00:16:32,160 –> 00:16:34,800
He could have an ear infection
right now and you’re asking

304
00:16:34,800 –> 00:16:36,640
these questions.
Yeah.

305
00:16:36,960 –> 00:16:39,560
They could be putting hydrogen
peroxide on his ear.

306
00:16:39,560 –> 00:16:42,880
That would really sting.
Yeah, And as far as the Secret

307
00:16:42,880 –> 00:16:46,320
Service thing, people are kind
of asking the question, and

308
00:16:46,320 –> 00:16:48,680
we’ll get to it near the end of
the episode.

309
00:16:48,680 –> 00:16:54,640
But I brought up JFK because one
of the weird details of that

310
00:16:54,800 –> 00:17:00,160
assassination is the way his
security changed that day and

311
00:17:00,160 –> 00:17:04,520
the fact that he was traveling
along this route that had all

312
00:17:04,520 –> 00:17:08,680
these windows that people could
have been in and those weren’t

313
00:17:08,680 –> 00:17:11,040
secured, and no one checked
that.

314
00:17:11,200 –> 00:17:14,160
And people are like, why?
Why would that be the case?

315
00:17:14,160 –> 00:17:17,040
Or another great example is
Malcolm X.

316
00:17:17,240 –> 00:17:21,640
The day Malcolm X was
assassinated, there were only

317
00:17:21,960 –> 00:17:25,440
two security guards at the front
door of that venue.

318
00:17:25,599 –> 00:17:31,480
And it was a venue where black
activists regularly gathered.

319
00:17:31,640 –> 00:17:35,720
So normally, as you’d expect,
there was a ton of police.

320
00:17:36,160 –> 00:17:38,720
Yeah, right.
There were normally police on

321
00:17:38,720 –> 00:17:40,560
the roof.
There were police at all the

322
00:17:40,560 –> 00:17:45,400
entrances and exits and for some
reason that day they were like,

323
00:17:45,640 –> 00:17:47,880
ah, we don’t need it, just put a
couple guards at the door.

324
00:17:48,160 –> 00:17:50,360
These Black Panthers are always
well behaved.

325
00:17:50,360 –> 00:17:53,240
They took up after themselves.
Fellas, we can just let them

326
00:17:53,240 –> 00:17:57,400
have a good time.
Yeah, I understand if people are

327
00:17:57,560 –> 00:18:02,720
questioning why the Secret
Service wasn’t up on that roof,

328
00:18:02,760 –> 00:18:06,800
because it seems like such an
obvious place to be.

329
00:18:06,920 –> 00:18:11,040
If Trump is 400 feet away, you
obviously put someone up there,

330
00:18:11,160 –> 00:18:15,000
and the fact that they miss that
I think is suspicious.

331
00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:17,840
Yeah, a guy with a slingshot
could have hit him if he was

332
00:18:17,840 –> 00:18:20,560
lucky.
I really wish people on the left

333
00:18:20,560 –> 00:18:23,760
would take this as a moment to
be like, Oh yeah, shit, maybe

334
00:18:23,760 –> 00:18:25,160
the government does do stuff,
yeah.

335
00:18:26,160 –> 00:18:28,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it’s a thing they need

336
00:18:28,360 –> 00:18:31,240
to fucking understand.
A lot of people on the left need

337
00:18:31,360 –> 00:18:33,920
to understand.
I understand questioning the

338
00:18:33,920 –> 00:18:36,960
government does not make you a
conspiracy theorist.

339
00:18:37,240 –> 00:18:39,960
Well, and just the idea that you
can at this point through

340
00:18:40,160 –> 00:18:44,080
declassified information, if you
only take the government’s word

341
00:18:44,080 –> 00:18:46,440
for what they’ve done and what
they’ve admitted to, like how

342
00:18:46,440 –> 00:18:51,040
many South American coups does
there have to be before you some

343
00:18:51,040 –> 00:18:54,120
point have the idea like, oh,
perhaps they would be Even so

344
00:18:54,120 –> 00:18:56,360
immoral as to do something like
that domestically.

345
00:18:56,360 –> 00:18:59,760
Is that absolutely not.
Those must just be practice for

346
00:18:59,760 –> 00:19:01,840
the fucking shit they do here.
It’s like a comedian.

347
00:19:01,840 –> 00:19:05,280
Like, I go down to Bolivia and I
try out some of my new psyops

348
00:19:05,280 –> 00:19:08,040
and the misinformation
techniques, and then I bring

349
00:19:08,040 –> 00:19:10,480
that shit over to North Dakota
once I know it’s really cooking.

350
00:19:10,640 –> 00:19:14,800
One of the things I also hate is
people are being forced to like

351
00:19:14,800 –> 00:19:19,480
immediately apologize for having
questioned if this was staged or

352
00:19:19,480 –> 00:19:21,120
not.
I feel like that’s kind of a

353
00:19:21,120 –> 00:19:24,240
natural response.
The American government

354
00:19:24,240 –> 00:19:26,880
shouldn’t stage so much shit if
they don’t want people to ask if

355
00:19:26,880 –> 00:19:28,480
stuff is staged.
Also I’m.

356
00:19:28,480 –> 00:19:31,520
Kind of anti dumb shaming.
You can’t really judge anybody

357
00:19:31,520 –> 00:19:34,880
for what their natural responses
to something, and you shouldn’t

358
00:19:34,880 –> 00:19:37,120
go around taking everybody so
fucking seriously.

359
00:19:37,160 –> 00:19:40,000
I can understand there being a
conversation about a degree of

360
00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:42,920
responsibility if you’re a major
news outlet or a fucking public

361
00:19:42,920 –> 00:19:44,440
figure or an influencer or
whatever.

362
00:19:44,560 –> 00:19:46,480
It’s like comedy.
You can’t help what you laugh

363
00:19:46,480 –> 00:19:47,240
at.
You know?

364
00:19:47,320 –> 00:19:50,000
You fucking terrible, offensive
jokes make you laugh.

365
00:19:50,000 –> 00:19:53,560
That’s an involuntary response.
I’m a skeptical person.

366
00:19:53,560 –> 00:19:56,560
When I saw the thing happen, I
thought, well, OK, sure, people

367
00:19:56,560 –> 00:19:59,840
suck at their jobs, but you
would think the Secret Service

368
00:19:59,840 –> 00:20:02,240
would be kind of good, you know?
You’d think there would be.

369
00:20:02,920 –> 00:20:04,840
Making them wake up in the
morning and do push ups and

370
00:20:04,840 –> 00:20:06,560
jumping jacks and being on the
ball.

371
00:20:06,560 –> 00:20:09,760
Yeah.
The thing that I think makes me

372
00:20:09,760 –> 00:20:14,200
lean toward this not being
staged and also the government

373
00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:17,960
not actively trying to
assassinate Trump is I don’t

374
00:20:17,960 –> 00:20:20,600
think the government would have
missed for one thing.

375
00:20:20,840 –> 00:20:25,200
And also if it was staged, they
murdered a guy.

376
00:20:25,480 –> 00:20:28,720
They just shot a guy, which I
feel like that could not have

377
00:20:28,720 –> 00:20:33,360
possibly been part of a plan.
I mean, it’s convincing it

378
00:20:33,360 –> 00:20:36,560
definitely if it was staged that
would sell it better, but I

379
00:20:36,560 –> 00:20:38,160
don’t know.
They probably wouldn’t have

380
00:20:38,160 –> 00:20:42,000
wanted that if this was just a
regular assassination coup that

381
00:20:42,000 –> 00:20:44,800
would have made it messier no
matter what the goal was.

382
00:20:44,920 –> 00:20:47,680
I have seen some of it, but you
know, where’s the MK Ultra talk?

383
00:20:47,680 –> 00:20:50,840
And all of this I can buy on
some level because I was a weird

384
00:20:50,840 –> 00:20:52,680
fucking kid that didn’t have
social media.

385
00:20:52,680 –> 00:20:54,920
Like I can sort of see being a
20 year old that doesn’t have

386
00:20:54,920 –> 00:20:57,000
much of an online presence.
People are saying that’s weird

387
00:20:57,000 –> 00:20:58,680
and the ad is weird, but I don’t
know.

388
00:20:58,680 –> 00:21:02,600
There’s nothing about this guy.
Yeah, that was actually my only

389
00:21:02,600 –> 00:21:07,720
tweet about was this MK because.
I was thinking the same thing

390
00:21:07,720 –> 00:21:11,320
and I was like.
Yeah, I feel like that’s a valid

391
00:21:11,320 –> 00:21:15,800
question because people don’t
give MK Ultra enough credit.

392
00:21:15,880 –> 00:21:17,960
I don’t know if that’s the right
way to put it.

393
00:21:18,120 –> 00:21:20,000
Program went on for a long time,
you know.

394
00:21:20,240 –> 00:21:23,120
Yeah, and when people are like,
oh, but nothing came of it.

395
00:21:23,280 –> 00:21:26,440
Well, one, how do you know the
government isn’t going to issue

396
00:21:26,440 –> 00:21:28,360
a press release and be like,
you’re not going to believe

397
00:21:28,360 –> 00:21:31,680
this, but we learned how to
hypnotize people into carrying

398
00:21:31,680 –> 00:21:34,600
more political assassinations.
That’s not going to happen.

399
00:21:34,760 –> 00:21:39,600
But also, you’re right, it
carried on for decades and it

400
00:21:39,600 –> 00:21:43,640
started in like the 40s.
By the 60s, all of a sudden the

401
00:21:43,640 –> 00:21:47,440
entire progressive.
Kennedy, Kennedy, King X You

402
00:21:47,440 –> 00:21:49,960
know.
They just start getting gunned

403
00:21:49,960 –> 00:21:54,480
down and it gets weirder and
weirder until you get to Reagan.

404
00:21:54,840 –> 00:22:00,200
Reagan and John Lennon both are
the most MK Ultra shit possible.

405
00:22:00,480 –> 00:22:02,240
And Sir Han.
Sir Han also.

406
00:22:02,560 –> 00:22:05,560
I was about to say, once you get
to a guy who has two names that

407
00:22:05,560 –> 00:22:07,880
are the same name, are you even
trying anymore?

408
00:22:08,240 –> 00:22:11,080
The best argument for MK Ultra
being bullshit is just that the

409
00:22:11,080 –> 00:22:13,840
government spends a ton of money
on stupid shit for no reason.

410
00:22:14,040 –> 00:22:16,440
Yeah, of course they would fund
the program designed to teach

411
00:22:16,440 –> 00:22:19,560
people how to shoot Superman
lasers out of their eyes for 17

412
00:22:19,560 –> 00:22:22,600
years.
Have I ever told you about the

413
00:22:23,160 –> 00:22:28,280
RFK assassination souvenir
program that I bought at the

414
00:22:28,280 –> 00:22:31,640
Reagan Library?
No, I’ll send you the article

415
00:22:31,640 –> 00:22:34,120
after we’re done in recording.
I wrote about it on my sub

416
00:22:34,120 –> 00:22:38,200
stack, but I went to the Reagan
Library to see the FBI exhibit

417
00:22:38,520 –> 00:22:43,200
because I love crime and I also
love a gift shop.

418
00:22:43,360 –> 00:22:46,960
So I was like, all right, I’m
going to find something in this

419
00:22:46,960 –> 00:22:48,080
gift shop that doesn’t.
Happen.

420
00:22:48,080 –> 00:22:50,880
When I went to the when I went
to the LBJ Museum, I got a

421
00:22:50,880 –> 00:22:54,720
postcard of Jackie Kennedy
scooping up his brains because I

422
00:22:54,720 –> 00:22:58,440
was like, why the fuck would you
make this a postcard?

423
00:22:59,560 –> 00:23:03,680
Yeah, that’s crazy and I had the
same thought about what I found

424
00:23:03,880 –> 00:23:07,240
because the only two things I
found that didn’t have Reagans

425
00:23:07,240 –> 00:23:11,040
name on it were just a regular
ass bag of Jelly Belly Jelly

426
00:23:11,040 –> 00:23:12,960
beans.
Which, delicious, but I can get

427
00:23:12,960 –> 00:23:15,640
those in the fucking Albertsons.
No souvenir value.

428
00:23:16,360 –> 00:23:19,880
And then also, it even had a
certificate of authenticity.

429
00:23:20,040 –> 00:23:25,480
It was a basically it is a
program about the assassination

430
00:23:25,480 –> 00:23:28,560
of Bobby Kennedy.
And there’s so much that’s weird

431
00:23:28,560 –> 00:23:30,720
about it.
One, it came out the following

432
00:23:30,720 –> 00:23:35,840
morning, like right after he got
shot, someone was ready to print

433
00:23:35,840 –> 00:23:39,640
this thing.
And not only that, but it has

434
00:23:39,640 –> 00:23:44,800
like the bullet trajectories
that Kennedy was hit by and all

435
00:23:44,800 –> 00:23:47,680
of this super detailed
information, and it was

436
00:23:47,880 –> 00:23:52,440
published by this publisher that
had only published one thing

437
00:23:52,440 –> 00:23:57,240
previously and they got sued for
copyright infringement over it.

438
00:23:57,320 –> 00:24:00,440
That is so fucking strange.
Stranger still, the fact that

439
00:24:00,440 –> 00:24:03,000
they’re just like selling it in
a gift shop.

440
00:24:03,160 –> 00:24:08,160
Well, not just that, but also as
you flip through it, at one

441
00:24:08,160 –> 00:24:12,560
point there is in the middle a
write up about the Kennedy

442
00:24:12,560 –> 00:24:17,320
family and it all seems
perfectly normal and neutral.

443
00:24:17,320 –> 00:24:20,680
And then you get to the end,
there’s a full page picture of

444
00:24:20,680 –> 00:24:25,720
just Ted Kennedy’s head and it
says there’s one son left in

445
00:24:25,720 –> 00:24:32,080
huge crime.
And then the very next article

446
00:24:32,080 –> 00:24:36,760
in that program is one about how
crazy it is that you can still

447
00:24:36,760 –> 00:24:40,960
buy guns through the mail and
how if we don’t put an end to

448
00:24:40,960 –> 00:24:44,520
this, someone’s going to be the
next person to shoot a Kennedy.

449
00:24:44,520 –> 00:24:47,920
And that is immediately after
the page that says there’s one

450
00:24:47,920 –> 00:24:50,520
son left.
Next, there’s an article that’s

451
00:24:50,520 –> 00:24:51,680
like.
Also, if you want to beat the

452
00:24:51,680 –> 00:24:53,440
person to take that one out,
here’s how you do it.

453
00:24:53,440 –> 00:24:56,360
Perfect to like, rip it out and
use his target practice in your

454
00:24:56,360 –> 00:24:58,360
backyard.
A big fat picture of Ted

455
00:24:58,360 –> 00:25:02,240
Kennedy’s head.
Yeah, it feels like an MK Ultra

456
00:25:02,240 –> 00:25:05,880
remnant or something.
There’s no valid reason for it

457
00:25:06,000 –> 00:25:09,080
to have existed.
I guess there’s some sort of

458
00:25:09,160 –> 00:25:12,960
psychological idea of if people
can hold in their hands a piece

459
00:25:12,960 –> 00:25:17,320
of print media the day after
this happened that totally

460
00:25:17,320 –> 00:25:22,000
dispels any sort of questions or
fucking rumors that they might

461
00:25:22,000 –> 00:25:25,200
be subject to believing or
subscribing to, then I guess,

462
00:25:25,200 –> 00:25:27,880
yeah, it kind of doesn’t make
sense, but it’s also like sort

463
00:25:27,880 –> 00:25:29,560
of telling on yourself, you
know?

464
00:25:30,200 –> 00:25:33,960
Yeah, just the fact that they
had it ready to go that quick.

465
00:25:34,040 –> 00:25:36,160
Who wrote the article about the
Kennedys?

466
00:25:36,320 –> 00:25:39,640
They just wrote that in a night.
Did you break the story?

467
00:25:39,640 –> 00:25:42,960
Is this just like Ace of Base
being a white power band?

468
00:25:43,160 –> 00:25:46,720
Is this an Adam Todd Brown guy?
Yeah, I think so.

469
00:25:46,720 –> 00:25:50,960
I wrote it because I found that
thing at the Reagan Library and

470
00:25:50,960 –> 00:25:53,920
it’s just the weirdest thing.
You can still buy them on.

471
00:25:53,960 –> 00:25:56,560
I think you can find them on
Amazon or eBay.

472
00:25:56,760 –> 00:25:59,720
It’s been 50 something years,
over 50 years since that

473
00:25:59,720 –> 00:26:02,000
happened.
How are we still finding weird

474
00:26:02,000 –> 00:26:03,920
things?
You think we would have found

475
00:26:03,920 –> 00:26:06,200
all the fucking bread crumbs?
And I’m very interested to see

476
00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:09,160
how he adjusts his convention
speech for all of this.

477
00:26:09,280 –> 00:26:11,680
Because this is the ultimate
Rahm Emanuel never let a good

478
00:26:11,680 –> 00:26:15,480
crisis go to waste situation.
If he plays this really well, he

479
00:26:15,480 –> 00:26:17,880
could be God Emperor.
Oh, absolutely.

480
00:26:17,920 –> 00:26:24,320
And that’s kind of why I did
that episode about the George

481
00:26:24,320 –> 00:26:29,560
Wallace thing, because Trump has
since this shooting, I don’t

482
00:26:29,560 –> 00:26:32,720
know if you saw this part, but
he gave an interview to, I think

483
00:26:32,720 –> 00:26:35,400
the Washington Examiner, some
right wing piece of shit.

484
00:26:35,560 –> 00:26:41,560
And was like, yeah, before this,
my RNC speech was going to be a,

485
00:26:41,760 –> 00:26:45,160
he called it a humdinger.
That was going to be all about

486
00:26:45,360 –> 00:26:48,240
Biden and his policies, very
angry.

487
00:26:48,400 –> 00:26:52,160
And then he was like, but now I
had him throw that speech out

488
00:26:52,160 –> 00:26:55,840
because I think this is an
opportunity to unite the

489
00:26:55,840 –> 00:26:58,480
country.
So that’s why I think he’s going

490
00:26:58,480 –> 00:27:02,520
to take a fucking George Wallace
turn and become this civil

491
00:27:02,520 –> 00:27:05,120
rights guy.
But who does it by committing

492
00:27:05,120 –> 00:27:07,080
genocide?
Yeah, Speak on the George

493
00:27:07,080 –> 00:27:09,280
Wallace angle you were telling
me about before we started

494
00:27:09,280 –> 00:27:12,040
recording, because that I think
is probably the pivot he’s going

495
00:27:12,040 –> 00:27:13,760
to play.
I’m I’m interested to see how

496
00:27:13,760 –> 00:27:17,160
racial he makes it.
The thing is, if you read his

497
00:27:17,200 –> 00:27:21,920
immigration plans and his
policies since he was

498
00:27:21,920 –> 00:27:25,960
campaigning the first time,
every detail about his

499
00:27:25,960 –> 00:27:30,600
immigration plan is centered
around the idea that illegal

500
00:27:30,600 –> 00:27:35,520
immigration hurts black males
the most and black Americans in

501
00:27:35,520 –> 00:27:39,760
general the most, which that’s a
point people debate back and

502
00:27:39,760 –> 00:27:42,720
forth.
That’s been the focus this whole

503
00:27:42,720 –> 00:27:44,680
time.
So at some point, he’s going to

504
00:27:44,680 –> 00:27:49,880
have to make that shift and make
that appeal to not just, well,

505
00:27:49,920 –> 00:27:53,600
no, I’m not racist, but what I’m
doing is specifically going to

506
00:27:53,600 –> 00:27:55,800
help you.
It’s going to give you jobs.

507
00:27:56,000 –> 00:27:58,720
He’s going to have to make that
part of his campaign at some

508
00:27:58,720 –> 00:28:02,280
point because that’s everything
the immigration policy is built

509
00:28:02,280 –> 00:28:05,280
around.
And George Wallace, if people

510
00:28:05,280 –> 00:28:07,800
are unfamiliar.
I don’t mean the comedian, I

511
00:28:07,800 –> 00:28:12,840
mean the segregationist governor
from Alabama who famously stood

512
00:28:12,840 –> 00:28:16,040
in the doorway at the University
of Alabama to keep 2 black

513
00:28:16,040 –> 00:28:20,600
students from integrating there.
He got shot in 1972 while he was

514
00:28:20,600 –> 00:28:25,840
campaigning again as a staunch
racist and after he got shot,

515
00:28:25,840 –> 00:28:30,760
made this pivot and apologized
to black voters, promised to

516
00:28:31,240 –> 00:28:34,160
make all these reforms and
create jobs.

517
00:28:34,360 –> 00:28:37,520
And it worked.
He won 90% of the black vote in

518
00:28:37,520 –> 00:28:40,280
his last election and he held up
his end of the bargain.

519
00:28:40,280 –> 00:28:44,360
He put black people in the
governor cabinet for the first

520
00:28:44,360 –> 00:28:48,200
time in history, appointed women
and people of color to all sorts

521
00:28:48,200 –> 00:28:51,560
of other jobs.
He held up his end of the

522
00:28:51,560 –> 00:28:54,480
bargain.
And this is such an opportunity

523
00:28:54,480 –> 00:28:59,240
for Trump to do that same thing.
George Wallace also decided he

524
00:28:59,240 –> 00:29:02,120
was a born again Christian.
When that happens, if Trump

525
00:29:02,120 –> 00:29:04,640
comes out as a born again
Christian, this election is

526
00:29:04,880 –> 00:29:07,000
over.
It is done.

527
00:29:07,080 –> 00:29:09,640
That was my first thought is
that he’s going to come back and

528
00:29:09,640 –> 00:29:12,280
be like, I got to think God, it
was God.

529
00:29:12,560 –> 00:29:15,960
It’s already happening.
He has in interviews, said

530
00:29:15,960 –> 00:29:17,720
people told him it was a
miracle.

531
00:29:18,200 –> 00:29:21,040
Vivek Ramaswami?
Is that that guy’s name?

532
00:29:21,040 –> 00:29:22,480
Did I nail that guy’s name?
Just I.

533
00:29:22,560 –> 00:29:23,960
Think you actually did?
Yeah, it’s.

534
00:29:24,120 –> 00:29:27,120
Crazy.
He posted a thing about how God

535
00:29:27,120 –> 00:29:30,800
intervened on behalf of Trump
and the country, so that’s

536
00:29:30,800 –> 00:29:33,520
already the talk.
That’s not even the craziest

537
00:29:33,520 –> 00:29:36,440
thing to think when a bullet
goes like a millimeter away from

538
00:29:36,440 –> 00:29:40,160
your fucking head, you know?
Well, I brought this up on that

539
00:29:40,160 –> 00:29:43,680
solo podcast also, and I’ll just
link to the solo pod in the show

540
00:29:43,680 –> 00:29:46,400
notes if people want to listen
to it, but we did an episode

541
00:29:46,400 –> 00:29:48,680
about this on the conspiracy
pod.

542
00:29:48,960 –> 00:29:53,400
Evangelical Christians literally
think God chose Trump.

543
00:29:53,880 –> 00:29:56,840
That’s not hyperbole.
There’s movies about it.

544
00:29:56,840 –> 00:29:59,720
We covered a movie called The
Trump Prophecy.

545
00:29:59,840 –> 00:30:04,440
And one of the ways Trump got
elected is this guy had a vision

546
00:30:04,440 –> 00:30:06,680
that Trump was going to be
president.

547
00:30:06,760 –> 00:30:09,480
He goes to his psychiatrist
about it.

548
00:30:09,640 –> 00:30:13,640
And instead of, you know,
treating him, his psychiatrist

549
00:30:13,640 –> 00:30:16,360
goes, oh, you should meet this
woman.

550
00:30:16,600 –> 00:30:20,960
And he introduces her to this
evangelical networker who takes

551
00:30:20,960 –> 00:30:25,440
this guy’s vision and fucking
runs with it, sets up this daily

552
00:30:25,760 –> 00:30:29,760
prayer phone call that by the
end of it, there’s hundreds of

553
00:30:29,760 –> 00:30:34,280
thousands of people getting on
the phone every day to pray for

554
00:30:34,280 –> 00:30:38,560
Donald Trump to be president.
And now those motherfuckers just

555
00:30:38,560 –> 00:30:44,040
saw their God’s chosen candidate
narrowly escaped death because

556
00:30:44,040 –> 00:30:47,120
he was looking at a billboard
full of immigration statistics.

557
00:30:47,760 –> 00:30:50,840
What would you if you were them?
I know.

558
00:30:50,840 –> 00:30:52,160
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.

559
00:30:52,720 –> 00:30:54,800
I get it.
I get why they’re like, man,

560
00:30:54,800 –> 00:30:57,000
that’s a fucking miracle.
Because here’s the thing, if

561
00:30:57,000 –> 00:30:59,560
that happened to me, I’d be
like, yeah, I think that was a

562
00:30:59,560 –> 00:31:01,440
fucking miracle.
Yeah, yeah.

563
00:31:01,760 –> 00:31:04,160
That’s nuts.
At the very least you’d be a bit

564
00:31:04,160 –> 00:31:05,760
more grateful or something, you
know?

565
00:31:06,360 –> 00:31:09,920
Yeah, I think all the time about
this time when I was at the mall

566
00:31:10,000 –> 00:31:13,200
when I was in high school and I
was flipping through one of

567
00:31:13,200 –> 00:31:16,640
those poster displays.
Yeah, I was at a coach house.

568
00:31:16,640 –> 00:31:18,040
Gifts.
Most Gen.

569
00:31:18,040 –> 00:31:19,640
X store at the mall I’ve ever
heard.

570
00:31:19,640 –> 00:31:22,040
By the way, the coach house
gifts.

571
00:31:22,840 –> 00:31:26,280
I live off of obscure retail
references and I’ve no idea what

572
00:31:26,280 –> 00:31:29,920
the fuck a coach house gifts is.
It might have just been local to

573
00:31:29,920 –> 00:31:33,560
my mall, which is very possible,
but I was flipping through these

574
00:31:33,560 –> 00:31:37,600
posters and I get the last one
and I immediately looked away

575
00:31:37,800 –> 00:31:41,720
and this friend who was with me
noticed that one of the poster

576
00:31:41,720 –> 00:31:46,200
things like the frame, it fell
out of the display and when he

577
00:31:46,200 –> 00:31:51,040
caught it, the corner was like
an inch for my fucking eyeball.

578
00:31:51,200 –> 00:31:54,680
I would have been fucked up if
he didn’t catch that thing and

579
00:31:54,680 –> 00:31:55,480
like.
Crazy.

580
00:31:55,720 –> 00:31:57,600
That’s got to be how Trump
feels.

581
00:31:57,600 –> 00:32:00,480
But like 10,000 times more
because I would have had a

582
00:32:00,480 –> 00:32:03,000
fucked up eye.
Trump’s head would have exploded

583
00:32:03,000 –> 00:32:04,960
on television.
It’s actually interesting, I

584
00:32:04,960 –> 00:32:06,720
haven’t thought about the actual
Trump’s.

585
00:32:06,720 –> 00:32:09,960
Like, I wonder if Trump himself
is actually feeling a bit more.

586
00:32:10,160 –> 00:32:12,240
Like, he certainly pretends to
be religious when it’s

587
00:32:12,240 –> 00:32:15,120
advantageous to him, but I
wonder if he’s actually like,

588
00:32:15,120 –> 00:32:17,680
fuck, maybe I should get a
spiritual advisor, you know?

589
00:32:17,960 –> 00:32:21,840
I mean, if nothing else, he’s
also this whole time been

590
00:32:21,840 –> 00:32:24,800
hearing people say, hey, you’re
God’s chosen candidate.

591
00:32:24,920 –> 00:32:28,120
And I’m sure somewhere inside
Trump was like, Nah, but that’s

592
00:32:28,120 –> 00:32:30,840
not true.
That doesn’t seem right at all.

593
00:32:30,840 –> 00:32:36,120
But now with the ego that dude
has, I guarantee you he’s like,

594
00:32:36,280 –> 00:32:38,640
listen, God has spoken.
I’m your king now.

595
00:32:38,720 –> 00:32:40,280
It’s going to be Trump’s
forever.

596
00:32:40,360 –> 00:32:42,880
I can’t wait to hear Barron’s
speaking voice because I know

597
00:32:42,880 –> 00:32:44,760
whatever it is, it’s going to be
hilarious.

598
00:32:45,120 –> 00:32:46,760
Oh yeah.
He’s just going to sound like

599
00:32:46,760 –> 00:32:51,000
some kind of Fortnite champion,
you know, like, hey, guys, I

600
00:32:51,000 –> 00:32:53,240
think at this point, if Joe
Biden was like, everybody look

601
00:32:53,240 –> 00:32:55,680
under your chairs, there’s a
free car under there, I don’t

602
00:32:55,680 –> 00:32:58,000
even think that would work.
No, not at all.

603
00:32:58,160 –> 00:33:00,600
What do you think about the
actual shooter himself, what

604
00:33:00,600 –> 00:33:02,160
little has trickled out about
him?

605
00:33:02,200 –> 00:33:04,240
I’ve seen that video of his
classmate talking about him

606
00:33:04,240 –> 00:33:07,480
describing a pretty typical lone
wolf type character.

607
00:33:07,480 –> 00:33:09,320
You know, he was kind of shy.
I got made fun of.

608
00:33:09,360 –> 00:33:11,840
It seemed like this kid sort of
went out of his way to give him

609
00:33:11,840 –> 00:33:13,920
the time of day and he kind of
felt bad, you know?

610
00:33:14,120 –> 00:33:15,480
Yeah.
What was the company?

611
00:33:15,640 –> 00:33:18,640
He’s in a commercial.
A BlackRock commercial, too.

612
00:33:18,640 –> 00:33:21,320
That’s fucking weird.
That’s really fucking weird,

613
00:33:21,320 –> 00:33:25,280
man, that he’s just as happens
to be in a Black Rock commercial

614
00:33:25,520 –> 00:33:27,640
and you have to wonder, they’re
shooting this Black Rock

615
00:33:27,640 –> 00:33:29,040
commercial.
They get all the different cute

616
00:33:29,040 –> 00:33:31,640
kids in this random classroom
and they’re like, fuck, this guy

617
00:33:31,640 –> 00:33:34,240
seems really lonely.
He seems really isolated.

618
00:33:34,400 –> 00:33:36,440
Let’s put a pin in that.
We can use that.

619
00:33:36,640 –> 00:33:39,760
If I’m like a sketchy porno
casting guy, that’s like a girl

620
00:33:39,760 –> 00:33:42,360
in the crop top smoking a
cigarette with three tattoos,

621
00:33:42,360 –> 00:33:46,040
just turned 18 outside a bar.
Like fuck, this is go time. 14

622
00:33:46,040 –> 00:33:48,320
year old kid drawn swastikas in
his notebook.

623
00:33:48,480 –> 00:33:52,000
Let’s do it.
Yeah, I am intrigued by the fact

624
00:33:52,000 –> 00:33:55,200
that he’s a Republican or a
registered Republican.

625
00:33:55,480 –> 00:33:59,120
Donated to the Pro Biden pack.
Yeah, that’s weird.

626
00:33:59,320 –> 00:34:03,920
He’s an undecided voter.
All of that is strange.

627
00:34:03,920 –> 00:34:09,239
I’m interested to find out if
they ever come up with a motive

628
00:34:09,600 –> 00:34:12,440
because it’s going to really
turn things on its head.

629
00:34:12,600 –> 00:34:15,639
If this kid is like, oh, Trump
was getting a little too liberal

630
00:34:15,639 –> 00:34:18,239
for me.
That will add a whole new

631
00:34:18,360 –> 00:34:22,480
dimension to this.
Because that the unpopular

632
00:34:22,480 –> 00:34:25,719
opinion episode that’s coming
out next week, spoiler alert, is

633
00:34:25,719 –> 00:34:29,159
about countries that are going
through similar political shit

634
00:34:29,239 –> 00:34:32,280
that we are.
And I was struggling to find a

635
00:34:32,280 –> 00:34:36,679
last story to talk about when I
heard that Trump survived an

636
00:34:36,679 –> 00:34:39,880
assassination attempt.
And I was like, has that

637
00:34:39,880 –> 00:34:42,000
happened recently anywhere?
Yes.

638
00:34:42,159 –> 00:34:46,560
In May, the Prime Minister of
Slovakia was shot five times.

639
00:34:46,840 –> 00:34:49,679
And survived.
I just can’t imagine taking

640
00:34:49,679 –> 00:34:51,880
anything happening in Slovakia
that seriously.

641
00:34:51,880 –> 00:34:55,199
It’s like, guys, you’re killing
the president of Slovakia.

642
00:34:55,199 –> 00:34:58,080
What are we talking about here?
I’m demoted from being mayor of

643
00:34:58,080 –> 00:35:00,440
Nike Town.
Who cares?

644
00:35:00,800 –> 00:35:05,480
And in that case, the same thing
happened where the prime

645
00:35:05,480 –> 00:35:08,160
minister’s supporters came out
and we’re like, this is the

646
00:35:08,160 –> 00:35:11,920
progressive wing and leftist
incite and violence by

647
00:35:11,920 –> 00:35:14,680
criticizing our policies.
And then it turns out the guy

648
00:35:14,680 –> 00:35:18,880
who shot him is super duper hard
right and was just mad that this

649
00:35:18,880 –> 00:35:21,640
guy wasn’t hard right enough for
him.

650
00:35:21,880 –> 00:35:25,400
So yeah, so.
And he was also a poet.

651
00:35:25,600 –> 00:35:27,840
Imagine getting taken out by a
fucking poet.

652
00:35:28,200 –> 00:35:31,760
That’s embarrassing.
Damn, that’s Axl Rose getting

653
00:35:31,760 –> 00:35:33,960
punched by Tommy Hilfiger type
stuff.

654
00:35:34,680 –> 00:35:36,800
I don’t know that story.
Oh, that happened.

655
00:35:36,880 –> 00:35:41,800
Tommy Hilfiger I think moved Axl
Rose’s girlfriend’s drink so it

656
00:35:41,920 –> 00:35:45,280
didn’t fall off the table and
Axl Rose blew up about it and

657
00:35:45,280 –> 00:35:46,680
was like don’t touch my
girlfriend.

658
00:35:47,480 –> 00:35:49,840
Tommy Hilfiger fucking laid his
ass out.

659
00:35:50,280 –> 00:35:52,560
That is one of my favorite
stories of all time.

660
00:35:52,920 –> 00:35:55,440
I do hope that Axel Rose has to
talk like that, where he has to

661
00:35:55,440 –> 00:35:58,440
kind of sing everything he says,
like an Axel Rose song.

662
00:35:59,000 –> 00:36:01,680
Medium rare.
I don’t know if I have ever

663
00:36:01,680 –> 00:36:03,400
heard that guy talk.
I don’t need to.

664
00:36:03,520 –> 00:36:04,320
Would you want to?
I don’t.

665
00:36:04,960 –> 00:36:07,520
Need it.
When you wrote Shun a nun a nun

666
00:36:07,520 –> 00:36:09,800
a nun a nee, what were you
thinking?

667
00:36:10,960 –> 00:36:14,360
So let’s talk about another
conspiracy that popped up, which

668
00:36:14,360 –> 00:36:17,520
is innocent people being
identified as the shooter.

669
00:36:17,800 –> 00:36:19,680
That happens every time there’s
a mass shooting.

670
00:36:19,920 –> 00:36:23,000
Of course, the Sam Hyde thing
goes around every time.

671
00:36:23,240 –> 00:36:25,880
That’s always fun.
There was one guy who looked

672
00:36:25,880 –> 00:36:28,800
like the dude and he posted a
picture of himself from the

673
00:36:28,800 –> 00:36:31,640
angle that the shooter was at.
And he was like, oh fuck, it’s

674
00:36:31,640 –> 00:36:34,080
about to be a long week.
And then pretty quickly everyone

675
00:36:34,080 –> 00:36:36,000
just started go another picture
of the shoot.

676
00:36:36,000 –> 00:36:37,520
Like he just everyone thought it
was him.

677
00:36:37,520 –> 00:36:39,600
So there’s like a bunch of
people with legit credits in

678
00:36:39,600 –> 00:36:42,120
their bio with pictures of this
this guy on their feet like.

679
00:36:42,480 –> 00:36:46,400
New images of the shooter found
Yeah, in this case, an Italian

680
00:36:46,400 –> 00:36:51,960
sports journalist named Mark
Violets ended up being named as

681
00:36:51,960 –> 00:36:55,640
the shooter, and he was in Italy
at the time.

682
00:36:55,680 –> 00:36:58,120
He’s also an Italian sports
journalist.

683
00:36:58,200 –> 00:37:01,040
What motivation would he have to
kill Trump?

684
00:37:01,360 –> 00:37:03,920
Mr. Trump is disrespectful to
tennis.

685
00:37:05,240 –> 00:37:07,240
He does not wear our feeler
track suits.

686
00:37:07,840 –> 00:37:09,200
I don’t even know what accent
I’m doing.

687
00:37:10,160 –> 00:37:13,760
Yeah, that is really strange.
I don’t even understand why they

688
00:37:13,840 –> 00:37:17,480
thought that.
He claimed that there is and I

689
00:37:17,840 –> 00:37:20,480
have reason to believe him
because this happened, he said.

690
00:37:20,480 –> 00:37:24,040
There is just a group of people
in his life who have been

691
00:37:24,200 –> 00:37:27,960
harassing him routinely over the
years and this is just one of

692
00:37:28,160 –> 00:37:32,160
the things they did to harass
him further and it just worked,

693
00:37:32,240 –> 00:37:35,160
probably way better than
anything else they’ve done.

694
00:37:35,520 –> 00:37:38,280
Gang stalking or something?
Well, I don’t think he meant

695
00:37:38,280 –> 00:37:40,800
that.
He’s a journalist and he’s

696
00:37:40,800 –> 00:37:43,520
presumably covering soccer if
he’s in Italy.

697
00:37:43,560 –> 00:37:47,440
And I don’t know if people know
that much about soccer fans, but

698
00:37:47,560 –> 00:37:50,920
they’re bad times sometimes,
especially in Italy.

699
00:37:50,960 –> 00:37:53,000
Well.
I always make the point people

700
00:37:53,000 –> 00:37:55,480
think America is racist and then
like at soccer games when a

701
00:37:55,480 –> 00:37:58,480
black team comes out they start
making monkey noises and shit

702
00:37:58,480 –> 00:38:00,520
and throwing bananas.
Shit that makes you think Oh my

703
00:38:00,520 –> 00:38:04,400
God I thought we were barbaric.
Yeah that was a thing that

704
00:38:04,400 –> 00:38:09,120
always gave me a little comfort
is you can get an anti-Semitic

705
00:38:09,120 –> 00:38:13,720
chant going at a soccer match or
racist chant going at a soccer

706
00:38:13,720 –> 00:38:18,360
match in Europe pretty easy.
Try that shit at crypto.com

707
00:38:18,360 –> 00:38:22,480
arena during WNBA game.
You get fucking kneecapped by

708
00:38:22,480 –> 00:38:26,160
security in 35 seconds.
Yeah, maybe we need a pinch of

709
00:38:26,160 –> 00:38:28,520
wokeness.
You know, a dash.

710
00:38:28,840 –> 00:38:30,880
Yeah, a little bit doesn’t
fucking hurt.

711
00:38:31,040 –> 00:38:33,640
We’re just laughing at Italian
dudes in soccer jerseys getting

712
00:38:33,640 –> 00:38:36,040
the shit beaten out of him by
black women in Inglewood at a

713
00:38:36,040 –> 00:38:39,120
Clippers game.
Yeah, that would be amazing.

714
00:38:39,320 –> 00:38:41,680
So yeah, someone just made that
shit up.

715
00:38:41,680 –> 00:38:46,160
There was also reports that a
guy named Hank Pecker was the

716
00:38:46,440 –> 00:38:48,640
shooter.
Is that a Bart Simpson fake name

717
00:38:48,640 –> 00:38:53,160
what he calls most islak?
It is actually a fake name

718
00:38:53,240 –> 00:38:57,840
because there is a twitch
streamer named Hassan Piker and

719
00:38:58,000 –> 00:39:03,360
Hank Pecker is a character he
portrays online from time to

720
00:39:03,360 –> 00:39:05,880
time.
He role plays as a quote gun

721
00:39:05,880 –> 00:39:09,680
loving, self-proclaimed
libertarian and the entire

722
00:39:09,680 –> 00:39:12,040
thread that people were pointing
to claiming it was from the

723
00:39:12,040 –> 00:39:16,040
shooter was a Hassan Piker
thread from 2022.

724
00:39:16,120 –> 00:39:18,040
I’m glad some people got some
clout off this.

725
00:39:18,240 –> 00:39:21,120
Yeah, of course it would have
been a real shame if a fucking

726
00:39:21,280 –> 00:39:24,320
president was shot and nobody
made their bones.

727
00:39:24,520 –> 00:39:27,560
Got some followers?
Yeah, I mean, yeah, there’s no

728
00:39:27,560 –> 00:39:30,960
way I wasn’t going to drum up
some content over this crazy.

729
00:39:32,400 –> 00:39:37,000
It’s time to drum up some
content, boy.

730
00:39:37,160 –> 00:39:40,680
I tell you this is a damning
pamphlet from RFK’s

731
00:39:40,680 –> 00:39:43,200
assassination.
All right, now let’s talk about

732
00:39:43,200 –> 00:39:47,200
one that is technically true.
Democrats wanted to end Trump’s

733
00:39:47,200 –> 00:39:49,720
Secret Service protection.
That’s.

734
00:39:49,720 –> 00:39:53,120
True, but yeah, I remember this.
Yeah, it doesn’t have anything

735
00:39:53,120 –> 00:39:55,920
to do with this assassination.
Maybe.

736
00:39:56,400 –> 00:40:00,840
See, I say that, but also, if
this was an old conspiracy and I

737
00:40:00,840 –> 00:40:03,960
heard that the government tried
to get the person’s Secret

738
00:40:03,960 –> 00:40:07,040
Service protection ended, I’d be
like, well, that’s suspicious,

739
00:40:07,040 –> 00:40:08,240
isn’t it?
Oh, yeah.

740
00:40:08,440 –> 00:40:11,520
But I do think that the Occam’s
razor, the stupidest, simplest

741
00:40:11,520 –> 00:40:13,160
explanation, is probably the
truest.

742
00:40:13,360 –> 00:40:15,720
What is the acronym that this
bill stands for?

743
00:40:15,840 –> 00:40:18,000
It’s kind of ridiculous, I guess
what I’m saying.

744
00:40:18,000 –> 00:40:20,080
It sounds like one of these
pieces of like legislation

745
00:40:20,080 –> 00:40:23,720
people pass just so they can
sort of put out a press release

746
00:40:23,720 –> 00:40:26,920
about proposing it.
Like, I’m suggesting that Donald

747
00:40:26,920 –> 00:40:31,280
Trump changed his name to Doctor
Poopypants and he has to eat my

748
00:40:31,280 –> 00:40:35,680
big fat turds every Sunday.
It’s called the Poopypants that

749
00:40:35,680 –> 00:40:37,360
you know, and it’s just
something you kind of like

750
00:40:37,360 –> 00:40:41,160
fucking do to look imposter in
whatever political direction is

751
00:40:41,160 –> 00:40:43,560
advantageous to you.
But the way that they named it,

752
00:40:43,560 –> 00:40:46,400
it’s like, OK, this is not like
a serious piece of legislation

753
00:40:46,400 –> 00:40:49,680
if this is your fucking name.
Yeah, it was a bit still

754
00:40:49,680 –> 00:40:52,640
introduced back in April by a
group of Democrats that would

755
00:40:52,640 –> 00:40:56,520
end Secret Service protection,
quote, for any person upon

756
00:40:56,520 –> 00:41:00,040
sentencing following conviction
for a federal or state offense

757
00:41:00,480 –> 00:41:04,040
that is punishable for a term of
imprisonment of at least one

758
00:41:04,040 –> 00:41:05,240
year.
End Quote.

759
00:41:05,400 –> 00:41:12,160
And yeah, the name of this bill
is Denying infinite security and

760
00:41:12,160 –> 00:41:16,680
government Resources Allocated
Toward convicted and Extremely

761
00:41:16,680 –> 00:41:21,440
dishonorable Former Protectees
Act, or if you want to shorten

762
00:41:21,440 –> 00:41:27,040
it, disgraced former protectees,
which I don’t think that’s how

763
00:41:27,040 –> 00:41:28,880
acronyms work.
No, you’re.

764
00:41:29,120 –> 00:41:31,640
Supposed to work all of the
words in.

765
00:41:31,840 –> 00:41:35,000
And he’s a Cheeto, you know,
like it’s.

766
00:41:35,960 –> 00:41:39,160
Yeah, that, that does feel like
show a little bit and that is.

767
00:41:39,640 –> 00:41:41,800
Kind of fucked.
I’m not like a fan of the guy or

768
00:41:41,800 –> 00:41:44,160
anything, but it is a gigantic
liability.

769
00:41:44,160 –> 00:41:46,920
Being a president of the United
States and walking around and I

770
00:41:46,920 –> 00:41:49,000
suppose to the idea that you’re
supposed to get permanent

771
00:41:49,000 –> 00:41:52,240
fucking bodyguard protection is
not totally insane to me.

772
00:41:52,400 –> 00:41:55,320
Yeah.
And if you strip all of of the,

773
00:41:55,600 –> 00:41:59,400
I don’t know, the personalities
out of it, all that really is,

774
00:41:59,400 –> 00:42:04,200
is the government imposing an
additional penalty on someone

775
00:42:04,200 –> 00:42:07,480
for a crime that they’ve already
gone to jail, gone to court,

776
00:42:07,480 –> 00:42:09,440
they’ve been convicted, they’ve
been charged.

777
00:42:09,640 –> 00:42:11,400
It’s almost like ex post fact
right?

778
00:42:11,400 –> 00:42:13,440
When isn’t that when you
prosecute someone for something

779
00:42:13,440 –> 00:42:16,520
they’ve already done?
Yeah, and we talk all the time

780
00:42:16,520 –> 00:42:20,760
about criminal justice reform
and how things need to be

781
00:42:20,760 –> 00:42:22,760
changed.
So in that case, even if it’s

782
00:42:22,760 –> 00:42:26,360
Trump, I’m kind of like fuck
that, because it’ll apply to

783
00:42:26,360 –> 00:42:28,800
someone who’s not Trump in the
future, for one thing.

784
00:42:29,080 –> 00:42:32,000
Yeah, or just the idea that you
can add further penalties to

785
00:42:32,200 –> 00:42:33,720
something that’s already
happened, you know?

786
00:42:33,920 –> 00:42:37,520
Yeah, again, on the solo pod a
few episodes back, I talked

787
00:42:37,520 –> 00:42:42,760
about how the guy who is alleged
to have killed Tupac was trying

788
00:42:42,760 –> 00:42:48,080
to get released on bond because
he has cancer and he’s having to

789
00:42:48,080 –> 00:42:51,320
eat all these shitty processed
foods and whatnot when he’s in

790
00:42:51,320 –> 00:42:55,440
jail.
And am I supposed to not want

791
00:42:55,440 –> 00:42:58,360
that guy to get treated fairly
just because he’s accused of

792
00:42:58,360 –> 00:43:01,080
killing Tupac?
Because no, I don’t care who it

793
00:43:01,080 –> 00:43:05,640
is, if you’re in an American
jail or prison, I am on the side

794
00:43:05,760 –> 00:43:08,760
of you should probably be
treated better than you are

795
00:43:08,920 –> 00:43:09,960
right now.
Oh, yeah.

796
00:43:09,960 –> 00:43:12,400
I mean, what percentage of
people come out of our prison

797
00:43:12,400 –> 00:43:14,400
system reformed in any
meaningful way?

798
00:43:15,120 –> 00:43:16,040
Yeah.
Almost.

799
00:43:16,040 –> 00:43:18,680
You know, it’s almost reminds me
of a Palestine, you know, where

800
00:43:18,680 –> 00:43:21,000
people like, fucking say they’re
acting like animals and it’s

801
00:43:21,000 –> 00:43:22,000
like, well, how are you treating
them?

802
00:43:22,000 –> 00:43:23,200
Because it’s not like human
beings.

803
00:43:23,720 –> 00:43:26,440
There’s a documentary series,
it’s on Netflix called Unlocked

804
00:43:26,600 –> 00:43:30,600
a Jail Experiment, and it’s an
actual jail where they

805
00:43:30,600 –> 00:43:34,240
experimented with instead of
locking people in their cells

806
00:43:34,400 –> 00:43:38,720
for 23 hours a day, they just
let everyone out for the entire

807
00:43:38,720 –> 00:43:41,280
day.
There’s no guards inside the

808
00:43:41,280 –> 00:43:43,480
pod.
It’s like the real world,

809
00:43:43,560 –> 00:43:47,520
basically.
It’s very much when people stop

810
00:43:47,680 –> 00:43:51,400
being polite and start being
real, and it’s fascinating.

811
00:43:51,400 –> 00:43:54,480
That does sound fascinating.
And also, how did that happen?

812
00:43:55,160 –> 00:43:57,880
Well, that’s the thing.
There’s so many people who, when

813
00:43:57,880 –> 00:44:00,360
they found out about it, started
pushing back.

814
00:44:00,360 –> 00:44:02,560
Like, no, we need to be tougher
on criminals.

815
00:44:02,560 –> 00:44:05,080
And it’s like they’re already in
jail.

816
00:44:05,080 –> 00:44:08,480
What else do you want?
Let the dudes play cards.

817
00:44:08,520 –> 00:44:12,400
Yeah, the fact that they get to
watch TV doesn’t make them a

818
00:44:12,400 –> 00:44:15,840
bigger threat to you than they
would have been otherwise.

819
00:44:16,000 –> 00:44:18,840
Well, and when these guys, like,
reenter society, they’ve missed

820
00:44:18,840 –> 00:44:22,080
six years of Earth, you know,
they’re like, what the fuck is

821
00:44:22,080 –> 00:44:23,960
the cell phone?
Who the fuck is Barack Obama?

822
00:44:23,960 –> 00:44:26,320
What is happening?
So yeah, the thing where they

823
00:44:26,320 –> 00:44:29,120
wanted to remove Trump, Secret
Service protection, I don’t

824
00:44:29,120 –> 00:44:29,920
know.
I disagree with it.

825
00:44:30,200 –> 00:44:34,440
I think if you’re convicted of a
crime and you are sentenced

826
00:44:34,520 –> 00:44:36,760
accordingly, then fucking good
enough.

827
00:44:37,360 –> 00:44:40,320
And also that is the definition
of a slippery slope when we

828
00:44:40,320 –> 00:44:44,840
start taking Secret Service
protection away for crimes,

829
00:44:44,840 –> 00:44:49,600
obviously, But I don’t know, in
what world do you want fewer

830
00:44:49,600 –> 00:44:51,840
government agents surrounding a
criminal?

831
00:44:51,840 –> 00:44:55,120
What sense does that?
Mean that’s a.

832
00:44:55,200 –> 00:44:57,600
That’s a good point.
Keep them there to fucking rein

833
00:44:57,600 –> 00:44:59,480
him in.
Well, and also, it’s just a bad

834
00:44:59,480 –> 00:45:01,760
look for any country.
If I don’t know if Bill Clinton

835
00:45:01,760 –> 00:45:05,160
and Barack Obama and George W
Bush had all fucking just been

836
00:45:05,160 –> 00:45:08,160
shot at a trip to Wendy’s or
something, that’s not exactly

837
00:45:08,160 –> 00:45:10,000
great on our resume.
Yeah.

838
00:45:10,240 –> 00:45:12,160
And so let’s talk about this
next one.

839
00:45:12,160 –> 00:45:13,840
We got two left.
There’s one.

840
00:45:14,040 –> 00:45:17,640
People were asking why it took
Biden so long to respond.

841
00:45:17,800 –> 00:45:21,200
And reporters travel with the
president all the time, so

842
00:45:21,200 –> 00:45:25,160
that’s an easy one to explain.
He was at a Saturday night Mass.

843
00:45:25,160 –> 00:45:27,720
He was at church when the
shooting happened.

844
00:45:27,840 –> 00:45:29,640
And.
Saturday night Mass.

845
00:45:30,920 –> 00:45:34,480
So there was a little bit of a
delay, but also, what the fuck

846
00:45:34,480 –> 00:45:35,960
did you think Biden was going to
say?

847
00:45:36,400 –> 00:45:38,080
Hey, I’ll get Biden gets up in
mass.

848
00:45:38,280 –> 00:45:42,520
Hail Satan, the Dark Lord.
Yeah, either battery just gets

849
00:45:42,520 –> 00:45:45,240
on TV and it’s like, we’re going
to get this motherfucker.

850
00:45:46,360 –> 00:45:49,080
Oh, come on, Biden.
Did Cornpop do it?

851
00:45:49,480 –> 00:45:51,800
Is that great, Lester Holt
Cliff, where he’s like, what are

852
00:45:51,800 –> 00:45:54,160
you going to do if you have
another performance like you had

853
00:45:54,160 –> 00:45:55,960
at the debate?
I’m planning on having a

854
00:45:55,960 –> 00:45:57,600
performance.
Suck up a debate.

855
00:46:00,000 –> 00:46:02,960
Good answer Joe, Good answer.
Joe Biden took a long time to

856
00:46:02,960 –> 00:46:05,880
respond because it happened at
like 4:00 PM and he was like

857
00:46:05,880 –> 00:46:09,040
fuck dude I’m getting tired.
Yeah, he was eating dinner at

858
00:46:09,120 –> 00:46:14,640
4:00 PM So the last conspiracy I
want to talk about is the idea

859
00:46:14,640 –> 00:46:20,960
that Joe Biden ordered this,
which is both the most and least

860
00:46:20,960 –> 00:46:24,240
implausible.
Thing I want you to feel Trump

861
00:46:24,240 –> 00:46:27,960
would go pow pow.
Because I did make a joke.

862
00:46:27,960 –> 00:46:30,840
I think a lot of people made the
joke when the Supreme Court

863
00:46:30,840 –> 00:46:34,400
passed that ruling that
presidents have immunity and

864
00:46:34,400 –> 00:46:37,280
everyone was like, so the
president could just order Seal

865
00:46:37,280 –> 00:46:39,920
Team Six to kill someone.
And they were talking about

866
00:46:39,920 –> 00:46:41,880
Trump.
But I was like, Biden’s probably

867
00:46:41,880 –> 00:46:43,320
hearing that, too.
Like, oh.

868
00:46:44,000 –> 00:46:47,080
Yeah.
Oh shit, maybe.

869
00:46:47,320 –> 00:46:50,920
MK Ultra, bring it back.
That is one of those weird

870
00:46:50,920 –> 00:46:54,360
extrapolative arguments where
until somebody goes and just

871
00:46:54,360 –> 00:46:57,000
commits the war crime and does
whatever, it’s just a bunch of

872
00:46:57,160 –> 00:46:59,760
different nerds arguing about
how possible it is.

873
00:47:00,040 –> 00:47:03,400
Yeah.
And when that debate started,

874
00:47:03,560 –> 00:47:07,080
there were all these articles
that were like, well, OK, that’s

875
00:47:07,080 –> 00:47:10,720
sort of true.
But also the military wouldn’t

876
00:47:11,000 –> 00:47:15,200
approve an order like that.
And it’s like, yeah, they

877
00:47:15,240 –> 00:47:17,120
wouldn’t.
The military has never done any

878
00:47:17,120 –> 00:47:20,960
sketchy war crime Y stuff.
You know they never flew planes

879
00:47:20,960 –> 00:47:22,560
full of Agent Orange over
Vietnam.

880
00:47:23,240 –> 00:47:27,160
Yeah, Was there a gamer
operating the drone that Obama

881
00:47:27,160 –> 00:47:28,680
killed an American citizen?
Death.

882
00:47:29,080 –> 00:47:32,000
That was the military.
The military would absolutely do

883
00:47:32,000 –> 00:47:34,840
it.
And that seemed to be the only

884
00:47:35,600 –> 00:47:38,520
obstacle was they were like, no,
the military wouldn’t carry out

885
00:47:38,520 –> 00:47:42,160
an action like that.
If your whole argument is that

886
00:47:42,160 –> 00:47:44,760
someone elected or military
power in America is going to be

887
00:47:44,760 –> 00:47:48,760
too moral to do something, OK, I
just kind of feel like grow up a

888
00:47:48,760 –> 00:47:50,200
little bit, you know?
Yeah.

889
00:47:50,400 –> 00:47:55,240
And I think as time goes on,
things like that are going to

890
00:47:55,240 –> 00:47:58,640
get wrapped up in what happened
to Trump, and they’re going to

891
00:47:58,640 –> 00:48:01,880
be pointed to as signs that,
hey, maybe the government tried

892
00:48:01,880 –> 00:48:04,680
to take out Trump.
Honestly, just knowing how

893
00:48:04,680 –> 00:48:08,080
people operate these pieces of
information like the disgraced

894
00:48:08,080 –> 00:48:10,800
act thing and the president can
do whatever he wants thing,

895
00:48:11,040 –> 00:48:14,520
people will absolutely fucking
come up with a unified field

896
00:48:14,520 –> 00:48:17,280
theory of Joe Biden killed
Donald Trump.

897
00:48:17,280 –> 00:48:19,800
You know, all of these
conspiracies will start to

898
00:48:19,800 –> 00:48:21,880
develop their narratives and
whatever.

899
00:48:21,880 –> 00:48:24,120
And I think it’s important at
this point when we’re still

900
00:48:24,120 –> 00:48:27,200
learning new shit and shit is
still coming out to just be wary

901
00:48:27,200 –> 00:48:31,840
of the sub narrative that these
people might be trying to

902
00:48:32,240 –> 00:48:35,800
inculcate in your impressionable
little head while they are

903
00:48:36,280 –> 00:48:38,560
synthesizing these different
pieces of information.

904
00:48:38,640 –> 00:48:41,760
A lot of times with conspiracies
or with political punditry in

905
00:48:41,760 –> 00:48:44,000
general, you can watch somebody,
I heard Jon Stewart say this

906
00:48:44,000 –> 00:48:46,160
once about Glenn Beck.
He’s like, I cannot argue with

907
00:48:46,160 –> 00:48:48,800
his facts, but I can argue with
his conclusions.

908
00:48:49,400 –> 00:48:52,560
So just because someone may have
some meaningful facts presented

909
00:48:52,560 –> 00:48:54,240
for you, be wary of their
conclusions.

910
00:48:54,440 –> 00:48:59,080
Yeah, and I can definitely see
this going that way.

911
00:48:59,120 –> 00:49:03,960
And I think the thing that
people are using to promote this

912
00:49:03,960 –> 00:49:08,440
idea that Biden ordered Trump to
be assassinated, this is a good

913
00:49:08,440 –> 00:49:13,280
example of how with a conspiracy
theory, you can’t just take all

914
00:49:13,280 –> 00:49:17,640
of the information as a whole.
You got to dig into the details

915
00:49:17,640 –> 00:49:22,320
of each little individual piece.
15 years from now, the disgraced

916
00:49:22,320 –> 00:49:25,680
act is going to look really
damning when it comes to the

917
00:49:25,680 –> 00:49:28,200
idea that maybe the government
went after Trump.

918
00:49:28,280 –> 00:49:31,520
But yeah, one of the things you
would have to take into account

919
00:49:31,520 –> 00:49:37,480
even 15 years from now is that
had no fucking chance of passing

920
00:49:37,520 –> 00:49:41,160
the Republicans control Congress
or there’s not enough of a

921
00:49:41,160 –> 00:49:43,440
majority for it.
To have back to my point about

922
00:49:43,440 –> 00:49:46,320
it being a piece of vanity
legislation, yeah, you know,

923
00:49:46,320 –> 00:49:50,000
like the Tiny Hands Act.
Every president must have hands

924
00:49:50,000 –> 00:49:52,880
that are at least this big to
run the country.

925
00:49:52,880 –> 00:49:56,680
Take that, Mister Cheeto man.
And when this is getting passed

926
00:49:56,680 –> 00:50:00,960
around as a the government did
it thing, people will also point

927
00:50:00,960 –> 00:50:03,680
to the Supreme Court making that
ruling and being like, well,

928
00:50:03,680 –> 00:50:06,040
president can have a rival
assassinated now.

929
00:50:06,200 –> 00:50:09,360
And it’s like, yeah, the
conservative supreme.

930
00:50:09,520 –> 00:50:12,680
Court I like the idea that it’s
turning government into a game

931
00:50:12,680 –> 00:50:14,760
of Call of Duty, a juggernaut
where there’s one really

932
00:50:14,760 –> 00:50:17,360
powerful character and then the
other team has to try to get

933
00:50:17,360 –> 00:50:19,560
him, you know, until they could
be that guy, and then they have

934
00:50:19,560 –> 00:50:22,320
to kill everybody else.
And with what’s going around

935
00:50:22,320 –> 00:50:25,280
currently with Biden, I feel
like this is another thing that

936
00:50:25,280 –> 00:50:29,000
people will .2 years from now
without bothering to get the

937
00:50:29,000 –> 00:50:32,120
entire context.
Because there is a little

938
00:50:32,120 –> 00:50:37,040
something to this theory that
Biden ordered the assassination

939
00:50:37,040 –> 00:50:42,720
of Trump in that there is an
actual audio recording of Biden

940
00:50:42,840 –> 00:50:46,000
saying we need to put Trump in
the bull’s eye.

941
00:50:46,160 –> 00:50:50,200
He said it on a call with donors
that was not supposed to be

942
00:50:50,200 –> 00:50:53,640
recorded and released, but
someone recorded and released

943
00:50:53,640 –> 00:50:55,280
it.
Shout out to that guy if you

944
00:50:55,280 –> 00:50:58,120
work in the government, leak
stuff, Be a narc, be fun, you

945
00:50:58,160 –> 00:51:00,920
know?
And the thing about that

946
00:51:00,920 –> 00:51:05,520
statement, they recorded this
call and people are just

947
00:51:05,520 –> 00:51:08,400
focusing on the we need to put
Trump in the bull’s eye.

948
00:51:08,640 –> 00:51:13,120
That was George Soros, Barroso’s
secret key phrase to activate

949
00:51:13,120 –> 00:51:15,840
his underground army of incel
snipers.

950
00:51:16,080 –> 00:51:18,640
Right after the debate is when
Biden said it.

951
00:51:18,800 –> 00:51:22,400
But this is the whole quote.
We’re done talking about the

952
00:51:22,400 –> 00:51:24,360
debate.
It’s time to put Trump in the

953
00:51:24,360 –> 00:51:27,200
bullseye.
We can’t go another day, another

954
00:51:27,200 –> 00:51:32,240
day without explaining what he’s
doing, and we have to go after

955
00:51:32,240 –> 00:51:33,480
him.
End Quote.

956
00:51:33,640 –> 00:51:37,080
So he’s just talking about
attacking Trump’s history and

957
00:51:37,320 –> 00:51:41,160
policies on the campaign trail.
Well, the good news, Adam, is I

958
00:51:41,160 –> 00:51:44,000
bet that every single person on
the Internet is going to take

959
00:51:44,000 –> 00:51:46,640
that quote in the complete
context that it was said

960
00:51:46,640 –> 00:51:48,360
originally.
Absolutely.

961
00:51:48,520 –> 00:51:51,120
If there’s one thing I know
about x.com.

962
00:51:51,720 –> 00:51:55,480
And like, I get that Biden seems
to be slipping a little

963
00:51:55,480 –> 00:51:59,040
mentally, but I don’t think he’s
so bad.

964
00:52:00,000 –> 00:52:03,280
Yeah, I don’t think he’s so bad
off that he would just admit

965
00:52:03,280 –> 00:52:05,640
that he’s going to have Trump
killed on a phone call with

966
00:52:05,640 –> 00:52:08,800
donors.
That would be a bold step in

967
00:52:08,800 –> 00:52:12,280
that plan, I would argue.
Yeah, I have a number of

968
00:52:12,280 –> 00:52:15,680
relatives that are senile and
very sad to watch someone lose

969
00:52:15,680 –> 00:52:18,480
their mental tackle.
Yeah, I sort of feel that, you

970
00:52:18,480 –> 00:52:21,520
know, watching this process
unfold, I have an ability to

971
00:52:21,520 –> 00:52:24,680
kind of extrapolate the
magnitudes of his brain farts.

972
00:52:25,040 –> 00:52:29,800
And I think that even Joe Biden
would know if he hadn’t a secret

973
00:52:29,800 –> 00:52:33,160
assassination attempt.
Like, okay, keep that one close

974
00:52:33,160 –> 00:52:35,600
to the fucking sweater vest,
Joe.

975
00:52:36,320 –> 00:52:39,280
Yeah.
And so I think that’s our

976
00:52:39,280 –> 00:52:41,760
episode.
Do we have any final thoughts

977
00:52:41,760 –> 00:52:44,960
other than we are probably
fucked as a nation?

978
00:52:44,960 –> 00:52:46,840
I think most people get that
part.

979
00:52:47,040 –> 00:52:50,120
Yeah, I, I guess just back to
what I said earlier about, you

980
00:52:50,120 –> 00:52:53,920
know, be wary of the conclusions
people draw from the information

981
00:52:53,920 –> 00:52:56,360
that’s out there.
Yeah, yeah, I would agree

982
00:52:56,400 –> 00:52:57,400
because.
You know, I don’t know, a lot of

983
00:52:57,400 –> 00:53:00,400
times you can you see something
and like it’s fucking really

984
00:53:00,400 –> 00:53:02,920
interesting and compelling for
like 3 days until you find out

985
00:53:02,920 –> 00:53:04,360
something else.
You’re like, oh, it’s jumps, all

986
00:53:04,360 –> 00:53:06,840
booze, all bullshit, you know?
Yeah, I think that’s a good

987
00:53:06,840 –> 00:53:09,440
place to end.
Connor, thank you so much for

988
00:53:09,440 –> 00:53:10,880

989

we get out of here?

Goodbye, everybody.

We love you people of Earth.
Your planet is about to be

1005
00:53:58,320 –> 00:53:58,960
destroyed.
