00:00:00 Wouldn't have guessed it, but there we are.

00:00:01 Welcome.

00:00:02 It's how many days until my birthday?

00:00:07 Flutter heads, it's loose in the studio.

00:00:09 It is how many days until Heinz 57 von birth-day-ness?

00:00:14 Six, Mike, you're breaking my heart.

00:00:18 Look at all the people, four days.

00:00:20 That's right, that's right.

00:00:21 23rd, yes, that's right.

00:00:27 20 plus four is 23, because government schools.

00:00:31 Steph's birthday wish, tech that just works.

00:00:33 Yeah, it's strange, I'm streaming from somewhere else,

00:00:35 but here on Locals, apparently I have to actually

00:00:37 select the microphone, isn't that most odd?

00:00:41 Most strange, most bizarre.

00:00:44 Anyway, we're here, we're here, we're here.

00:00:46 So, I am, as always, what would you like for your birthday?

00:00:51 World peace!

00:00:53 Or failing that, a donation or two would be fine.

00:00:57 Like, is it just me?

00:00:58 Is it just me?

00:00:59 Maybe I'm odd this way, but don't gifts in general

00:01:04 kind of suck?

00:01:05 Gifts is just socialism.

00:01:09 Well, you could have something that you want,

00:01:11 but instead I'm gonna choose something

00:01:13 that I want you to have.

00:01:15 Gifts as a whole, I'd actually these days,

00:01:16 I'd just rather get underwear.

00:01:17 Well, not underwear necessarily,

00:01:20 let's, maybe something I would actually use.

00:01:23 Free ball!

00:01:24 All right, so, you always ask for cash gifts.

00:01:27 So, yeah, freedomain.com/donate if you would like

00:01:30 to help out, I would hugely appreciate that.

00:01:35 Oh, we'll get world peace eventually,

00:01:38 one way or another.

00:01:39 So, I mean, I guess the only point of presence

00:01:44 is to buy you something that you just wouldn't buy

00:01:48 for yourself.

00:01:49 My mom insists on sending me clothes,

00:01:52 they never look good, I tell her not to, but she does.

00:01:55 What's your thoughts on Montessori education

00:01:57 versus homeschooling?

00:01:58 Don't care.

00:02:00 I don't care because Montessori education

00:02:02 is just a theory.

00:02:04 It all comes down to the quality of the teachers.

00:02:07 A good teacher, I don't care.

00:02:08 Really, a bad teacher, it doesn't matter where they are, so.

00:02:12 How is the great slowdown?

00:02:16 Any recent experiences?

00:02:18 At my job and companies I work with, I'm noticing it.

00:02:21 Yeah.

00:02:22 Oh, I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean, it's pretty constant.

00:02:27 It's pretty constant.

00:02:29 I went to a Waldorf school,

00:02:30 they still follow the curriculum, right, right.

00:02:33 Okay, so I'm here for you, I'm here for you.

00:02:35 Do you want to talk about Russell Brand?

00:02:40 Your lighting is looking much better.

00:02:42 No, I just drank teenage blood.

00:02:45 So, it's actually the same studio exactly,

00:02:48 I'm just youthful.

00:02:50 And strangely, it actually just grew ear hair.

00:02:53 So, that's just the way that it is.

00:02:57 It's a fine vintage though.

00:02:58 Did you hear about the guy,

00:02:59 bought a $3 bottle of wine at Walmart,

00:03:01 slapped a highfalutin label on it,

00:03:02 and won a sommelier contest in France

00:03:05 where people said, "Oh, it's a heady and fruity bouquet

00:03:07 "with a light and suciance of cinnamon."

00:03:09 Well, well.

00:03:09 Do you get to locals' tips later in the show?

00:03:15 Yes, you haven't been following the brand story?

00:03:18 Yeah, what happened with Russell Brand?

00:03:22 All right, hit me with a why

00:03:26 if you know who Russell Brand is.

00:03:29 The shortcut, if you want to remember Russell Brand,

00:03:36 his official sanctioned nickname is Skeevy Jesus.

00:03:41 Skeevy Jesus, that's just a homeless Jesus,

00:03:47 that's who he is.

00:03:48 So, he is a British comedian,

00:03:50 and he, gosh.

00:03:53 So, he's accused of a whole bunch of nefarious things

00:03:57 by women from 2003 to 2013,

00:04:02 negative interactions with women, assault,

00:04:05 and other things.

00:04:06 He's accused of this, he's denied all of this,

00:04:09 and yeah, yeah, people just leaping into action

00:04:14 to try and get this guy this way.

00:04:17 He's been accused of sending a car

00:04:21 to take his 16-year-old lover out of school.

00:04:24 He was 31, she was 16.

00:04:25 Apparently, this is just awful now

00:04:27 to have this kind of age gap,

00:04:28 although Harvey Milk had a 16-year-old boyfriend.

00:04:30 But hey, totally, totally different.

00:04:32 So, he's facing accusations of sexual assaults

00:04:35 and emotional abuse from four women,

00:04:37 an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship

00:04:43 by the comedian when he was 31 for about three months.

00:04:47 And I won't get into the details,

00:04:48 you can look them up.

00:04:50 There is a text message, the woman,

00:04:53 after she claims to have had a negative interaction

00:04:56 with him, she wrote, "When a girl says no, it means no."

00:05:00 Russell Brand replied that he was very sorry.

00:05:02 You know, the very sorry is one of these things like,

00:05:07 I'm very sorry you had a negative experience.

00:05:09 I'm very sorry you experienced it that way.

00:05:10 I'm very sorry that you remember what you remember.

00:05:12 It doesn't mean I'm very sorry that I did X, Y, or Z.

00:05:15 Necessarily, again, I don't know.

00:05:18 She did say that she went to a crisis center

00:05:19 and all of that and went to counseling and so on.

00:05:22 Now, Russell Brand, by his own admission,

00:05:27 slept with how many women a month?

00:05:31 How many women a month did Russell Brand sleep with?

00:05:35 All of them.

00:05:36 No, my wife was otherwise engaged.

00:05:42 So he claims to have had sex with up to five women a day

00:05:45 and averaging at the height of his promiscuity,

00:05:48 40 women.

00:05:52 He says he basically was just a normal looking guy

00:05:54 from wherever he came from in England

00:05:55 who just basically got the Willy Wonka lottery ticket

00:05:58 to infinite pooh-pah, right?

00:06:00 So I mean, I've written about this in novels

00:06:06 and talked about it before.

00:06:07 You know, promiscuity, you're just rolling the dice, right?

00:06:10 You're just rolling the dice.

00:06:12 Wow, and he caught no STDs?

00:06:15 I don't know.

00:06:16 Trump says he didn't.

00:06:17 At least Trump says Trump didn't,

00:06:18 but as far as Russell Brand goes,

00:06:20 afraid I don't have access to

00:06:22 whether he was ever pissing fishhooks.

00:06:23 Don't know, don't know.

00:06:25 So what do you think overall,

00:06:32 based on your knowledge of this show and what we talk about,

00:06:36 what do you think his childhood was like

00:06:40 if he was skeevy Jesus man-whore

00:06:43 as he seems to be pretty much?

00:06:47 Terrible single mom, can't pair bond sexual abuse.

00:06:51 He was exposed to porn as a young age.

00:06:52 He was either neglected or abused.

00:06:54 Dad absent, boy, that would have been an improvement.

00:06:56 Sexual assault as a child, abusive mother,

00:06:58 not peacefully parented, rotten.

00:07:00 Yeah, yeah.

00:07:02 It's not, no, no, it's not strict parents, no, no.

00:07:07 All right, so I did look up a little bit.

00:07:11 So Russell Brand and his father, Ronald Ron Brand,

00:07:16 shared a unique relationship,

00:07:19 which he claimed introduced him

00:07:20 to formative experiences involving sex as a teenager.

00:07:23 His, this is Russell Brand's 2007 memoir,

00:07:27 exposed the trip he took with Ronald to Hong Kong,

00:07:29 where he said he lost his virginity

00:07:31 to a sex worker paid for by his dad.

00:07:35 The actor was 17 at the time

00:07:36 and revealed that afterwards he found himself, quote,

00:07:39 engaged in an increasingly desperate quest

00:07:41 to satisfy his growing sexual appetite.

00:07:43 He wrote in his book, quote,

00:07:45 the episode that defined my relationship with women

00:07:47 occurred in Hong Kong with my dad.

00:07:49 I was 17.

00:07:50 On day one, we went to some sleazy dive.

00:07:53 Before I was, before long, I was sat on a bar stool

00:07:57 with a Filipino called Mary Lou.

00:08:00 There we were leaving in a cab with three Asian prostitutes.

00:08:02 My dad was drunkenly urinating.

00:08:04 Back in the hotel, my dad set about unwrapping

00:08:07 his two prostitutes, I sat on an edge,

00:08:09 on the edge of the other twin bed.

00:08:11 She must have known I was a virgin

00:08:12 as soon as the bungling encounter commenced.

00:08:14 So it sounds like his father took him to Hong Kong

00:08:19 and sat in the room while he was deflowered

00:08:22 by an Asian prostitute.

00:08:23 That's the skeevy part.

00:08:28 I don't remember that in any sections of the Bible.

00:08:30 I mean, there was, I guess, Mary Magdalene,

00:08:32 but nonetheless, that is some skeevy,

00:08:37 skeevy, gross stuff.

00:08:38 Brand was raised by his mother, Barbara,

00:08:45 who married Ronald in 1969.

00:08:47 Boy, I bet you that was a year he got married

00:08:49 for non-accidental reasons,

00:08:51 and split from the star's dad

00:08:53 when he was just six months old.

00:08:55 At eight years old, Brand's mom was diagnosed

00:08:57 with uterine cancer and breast cancer,

00:08:59 following which he was cared for by other family members.

00:09:03 In 2017, Brand explained that his mom was fighting cancer

00:09:06 for the sixth time and undergoing chemotherapy.

00:09:09 Brand's tell-all novel, "My Bookie Wook,"

00:09:13 suggested the star had been abused as a child,

00:09:16 though Brand chose to conceal

00:09:18 the identity of the perpetrator.

00:09:19 He said, and I quote, "I was touched as a child,

00:09:21 "and I felt a warping, like flexed glass.

00:09:24 "Not entirely unpleasant.

00:09:25 "It was, after all, a tension,

00:09:27 "but I knew it was a glitch,

00:09:28 "like a memory I was waiting to have.

00:09:29 "Like a stone on a path I knew I would not pass,

00:09:31 "but paused to pick up and carry with me

00:09:33 "uneasily in my pocket."

00:09:35 Yeah, the more analogous it gets,

00:09:36 usually the worse the abuse was.

00:09:38 So yeah, he says that he was sexually abused as a child,

00:09:43 and Lord knows what skeevy stuff his dad exposed him to.

00:09:46 We certainly know what Russell Brand claims and all of that.

00:09:51 So Russell Brand wrote,

00:09:57 "Finding why I still incorporate this transgression

00:09:59 "into my understanding of the world,

00:10:00 "stitching it into the fabric of my understanding.

00:10:02 "Mommy's ill a lot.

00:10:04 "They say I am bad.

00:10:05 "My dad does not like me.

00:10:07 "I am not safe.

00:10:08 "I don't like school.

00:10:10 "I don't belong.

00:10:11 "Paper don't like me.

00:10:13 "I made mommy ill."

00:10:14 All right, so this is all the self-talk

00:10:17 that he has as a child.

00:10:22 So, sounds like more like a 1950s cockney accent,

00:10:29 not ugly enough.

00:10:29 That is just, I mean, it's absolutely appalling stuff.

00:10:34 I remember my ex read my bookie wook around 2009.

00:10:43 I think he was all the rage.

00:10:44 Every girl seemed to love him.

00:10:46 Right.

00:10:47 So, I'm here for you.

00:10:52 Would you like me to explain what's going on?

00:10:58 He said very arrogantly, but you know.

00:11:00 Would you like me to?

00:11:01 We can do any topic.

00:11:02 Yeah, he was married to Katy Perry

00:11:03 for about 15 months, I think.

00:11:05 Yes, you wanna know what's going on?

00:11:10 Right, okay.

00:11:13 So, some genes replicate directly through genetics.

00:11:18 Other genes replicate through genetics plus environment.

00:11:22 It's called epigenetics, where certain environmental cues

00:11:26 turn genes on or off.

00:11:28 So, why women are attracted to him?

00:11:32 I mean, he's slim-hipped.

00:11:34 He's got goofy hair that's kind of attractive.

00:11:37 He's got that skeevy skull face intensity Jesus thing going.

00:11:41 He's a wounded, funny, pretty boy in a way,

00:11:44 and this gets a lot of women's gonads or ovaries

00:11:48 orbiting his black hole heart planet.

00:11:51 No, he is attractive.

00:11:52 No, he's a bad boy.

00:11:53 He's attractive, you know, probably not to most people here,

00:11:58 but I can certainly see how he would have

00:12:00 a certain compelling intensity to him as a whole.

00:12:04 Yeah, he's almost like 6'2", and yeah, he's woo-woo.

00:12:08 I get that.

00:12:09 He says he went into drugs to try and find

00:12:11 spiritual meaning, which is all nonsense,

00:12:13 and then later he says he was just trying to managing,

00:12:15 he was just managing his own emotions.

00:12:17 But no, he's got those hollow cheeks.

00:12:19 He's got those intense eyes.

00:12:21 He's 48.

00:12:21 He's got his, I mean, maybe he's had a hair transplant.

00:12:23 I don't know.

00:12:24 But he's also very wealthy.

00:12:27 He's very famous, and he's very funny,

00:12:29 and women do enjoy, right,

00:12:31 women's dark undertow of personality,

00:12:33 the fact that they tend to interpret things

00:12:35 in a negative manner.

00:12:36 For most women, a man's good humor,

00:12:39 his positivity, his good sense of humor,

00:12:41 is literally the helium balloon that keeps them

00:12:44 from drowning in the depths of their own negative undertows.

00:12:47 Does that make sense?

00:12:49 I mean, if you're caught in an undertow,

00:12:52 you desperately need someone to pull you up and out,

00:12:54 otherwise you're gonna drown.

00:12:56 So, like my crazy ex who had a thing for Jack Sparrow

00:13:00 and Heath Ledger's Joker.

00:13:02 Well, if that ain't a cry for help,

00:13:03 I don't know what it is, right?

00:13:05 Laughter produces feel-good endorphins.

00:13:07 Yeah, Katy Perry said that she married him

00:13:09 'cause he was hilarious, right?

00:13:10 And, you know, I'm sure he's a funny guy,

00:13:12 and having no filter is attractive to people, right?

00:13:15 He's like a male Paris Hilton.

00:13:19 Nobody knows why he's famous.

00:13:21 No, sorry, that's not actually quite correct.

00:13:24 He is an actor.

00:13:27 He was actually in Kenneth Branagh's

00:13:29 "Death on the Nile" recently,

00:13:30 where he played a very moderate character.

00:13:32 Yeah, so he's an actor.

00:13:34 He was a television show host on "Big Brother."

00:13:36 He's a stand-up comedian.

00:13:38 He writes books.

00:13:39 He has a book that was going to come out

00:13:41 about recovering from addiction.

00:13:43 I think he's been clean for like a decade and a half

00:13:45 or something like that.

00:13:46 Yeah, so he's definitely talented.

00:13:49 He studied acting.

00:13:50 He was kicked out, I think, of two acting schools,

00:13:52 if I remember rightly.

00:13:54 And yeah, he's good at being interviewed.

00:13:57 He runs a podcast.

00:13:58 He has an internet show on YouTube.

00:14:01 And, I mean, he's getting hit pretty hard,

00:14:03 these allegations, right?

00:14:05 So these allegations, I don't think charges have even been

00:14:06 brought yet.

00:14:08 He denies them all, of course.

00:14:09 And he's been dumped by his agent.

00:14:12 He's been -- his tours have been canceled.

00:14:14 His book has been canceled.

00:14:16 His YouTube channel has been demonetized.

00:14:18 And, you know, he was estimated to be earning

00:14:21 about a million pounds a year, I think, off his YouTube channel.

00:14:23 So it's rough.

00:14:25 And, you know, he's -- I think he's got a wife.

00:14:26 I think his wife's pregnant.

00:14:27 He's got some kids.

00:14:29 I mean, I think he's holed up in his five-million-pound mansion

00:14:30 or something like that.

00:14:32 But he's also facing charges in Los Angeles.

00:14:33 Potentially, again, we don't know what's going to happen

00:14:35 out of these interviews and so on.

00:14:36 But yeah, he's going to have a -- yeah, he admits being promiscuous.

00:14:42 But he's already said that.

00:14:44 But it says it was all consensual.

00:14:46 All right.

00:14:50 His truth or content is intense and engaging.

00:14:53 I get why people watch him.

00:14:55 Well, he, you know -- I want to talk, right?

00:14:58 But he compliments his audience, which I appreciate and understand.

00:15:01 Hello. Hello, you awakening wonders.

00:15:03 Right? So he, you know, he's very sort of charming and all of that.

00:15:08 This is like Louis C.K. I think Louis C.K. was not --

00:15:11 it was not as intense.

00:15:13 It was not as intense as the accusations

00:15:16 that are coming out here.

00:15:18 I'd rather watch Steph than Russell.

00:15:21 Have I introduced you guys to bitter Steph for a while?

00:15:27 Like has it been a while since you've seen bitter Steph?

00:15:30 I'm just -- I can't remember.

00:15:32 Have you seen bitter Steph?

00:15:35 I can't remember.

00:15:36 Hit me with a why if you've seen bitter Steph before.

00:15:40 You want sour Steph?

00:15:41 Okay. I said bitter Steph.

00:15:42 Don't rewrite me, bro.

00:15:45 Yes, it's a little scary.

00:15:48 Not sure.

00:15:51 Would you like to see bitter Steph?

00:15:53 Would you like to see bitter Steph?

00:15:56 You like nice Steph?

00:15:58 I like nice Steph, too, but would you like to see bitter Steph?

00:15:59 Because I don't -- I'm not always nice.

00:16:01 We've done petty Steph before.

00:16:03 You want to get -- you want to get bitter?

00:16:06 You want to get bitter?

00:16:07 Can you do it in a British accent?

00:16:09 I'm sort of stuck in a British accent.

00:16:14 All right.

00:16:15 Give me the great instigating goading, please.

00:16:18 Could you -- you think you saw a hint of bitter Steph

00:16:21 when Joe Rogan got his $100 million contract all the way

00:16:24 out through Tencent to Chinese government stuff?

00:16:27 Angry Steph is always available.

00:16:28 One to ten, how bitter do you want me to be?

00:16:30 I'm just -- you know, are you going to goad me?

00:16:32 Like one to ten, how bitter?

00:16:34 Six, seven, ten, eleven, nine, ten, baby, ten, nine inches

00:16:42 of my bitterness, mixed drink with bitters,

00:16:44 6.9 for this occasion.

00:16:47 Ph2 acidity, oh, science joke.

00:16:49 Nice. Ten, imagine someone stole your hair.

00:16:53 All right, all right.

00:16:58 Enter bitter Steph.

00:17:02 Okay, bitter Steph goes a little something like this.

00:17:04 So I was looking on social media just out of curiosity,

00:17:09 just out of curiosity.

00:17:10 So Russell Brand is an admitted -- I mean, degenerate,

00:17:16 I think he would say that, wildly promiscuous, drug addict,

00:17:19 I think alcoholic, just, you know, a mess of a human being.

00:17:23 It's not like he's elevated the culture very much.

00:17:25 And he admits to have used women like Kleenexes,

00:17:28 like just really plowed through and trashed women,

00:17:30 particularly younger women.

00:17:32 And look, I get everyone's an adult,

00:17:34 but there's a power dynamic

00:17:36 and a power disparity here that's pretty important,

00:17:39 which is you've got a 31-year-old guy

00:17:41 and a 16-year-old girl.

00:17:42 Now, what 16-year-old girl is going to be approached

00:17:44 by a tall, slender, good-looking, famous, rich,

00:17:48 powerful celebrity and say, "Oh, no,

00:17:50 I'm waiting for the pimply-faced guy in the back corner

00:17:53 to ask me to go to the pizza place

00:17:56 or get some fish and chips," right?

00:17:58 So she's going to have a tough time saying no.

00:18:00 Now, why do women say yes to this stuff,

00:18:02 or in this case, girls?

00:18:03 Now, the age of consent in England is 16,

00:18:04 so apparently he was quite keen on learning

00:18:07 that before he went ahead with the relationship.

00:18:09 But, but, but, why is she doing it?

00:18:12 Well, she gets clout, she gets a story,

00:18:16 she gets the envy of her classmates,

00:18:18 she gets to post on social media.

00:18:19 I don't know if she ever did or not,

00:18:20 and I don't know her motivations,

00:18:22 but women as a whole, girls as a whole.

00:18:24 And, you know, maybe deep down she thinks,

00:18:26 "Well, you know, he's just going to fall in love with me.

00:18:29 You know, the Fifty Shades of Grey guy

00:18:30 was very rich, famous, powerful, and beautiful,

00:18:33 and he fell in love with a girl who worked where?

00:18:35 In a hardware store for, I assume, minimum wage, right?

00:18:38 So there's always this idea,

00:18:40 "Oi, oi, oi, she's going to yeet me out of my life

00:18:42 and yeet me into the celebrity life,

00:18:44 and I'm going to get to meet all these famous

00:18:46 and cool people, and I'm going to walk the red carpet,

00:18:48 and I'm going to be dressed in Christian Dior,

00:18:50 and my life is going to blah," right?

00:18:52 So it's really tough for women to say no to a celebrity

00:18:57 when they're unknown, particularly if the celebrity

00:19:01 is high status among the other females,

00:19:05 again, tall, slender, good-looking,

00:19:06 wealthy, attractive, and so on.

00:19:08 Very, very tough to say no.

00:19:10 Now, 16, wouldn't be my choice about the age of consent,

00:19:15 but at least it's better than Mexico,

00:19:17 which is 12 in some places.

00:19:19 So that is Russell Brand.

00:19:22 Now, Russell Brand, again, I think he's cleaned up.

00:19:27 I think he claims to have cleaned up the drugs.

00:19:30 I have no reason to disbelieve him.

00:19:32 I think he's cleaned up the promiscuity,

00:19:34 but he was a pretty skeevy guy for a long time.

00:19:36 Plus, he's a bit of a Bernie bro.

00:19:37 He's a bit of a lefty, and although he's got

00:19:39 the old lefty skepticism for corporations

00:19:41 that used to be the case before lefties began

00:19:43 to take over and control corporations,

00:19:45 and it seems like they don't have any problem

00:19:46 with corporations anymore, but bitter stuff.

00:19:49 (slurping)

00:19:53 So bitter stuff goes a little something like this.

00:19:56 Oh, boy, all these people that I used to be colleagues

00:19:59 and friends with and interviewed some of them,

00:20:03 and many of them read their books, promoted their channels,

00:20:06 kind of got them going 'cause I was a bit of an OG

00:20:08 in this space, having been in it since 2005.

00:20:11 So, you know, I helped people come along.

00:20:13 No regrets about that.

00:20:14 They did well, they did good, and so on.

00:20:16 But boy, just seeing everyone out there

00:20:19 when Russell Brand is accused of these terrible things

00:20:22 and has led a life of significant degeneracy,

00:20:28 seeing all the people rush loudly and vociferously

00:20:35 to his defense.

00:20:38 Oh.

00:20:39 You know, I try to be mature.

00:20:45 I really, really do, and I think to a large part,

00:20:50 I succeed in that maturity.

00:20:53 But I'm straight up with you people,

00:20:56 I wouldn't be lying if I wasn't just like,

00:20:58 oh, this guy you defend.

00:21:03 This guy you rush to the ramparts,

00:21:05 throw yourself in front of the spear,

00:21:06 step on the landmines, anything to protect

00:21:09 slimmed hip, skeevy Jesus

00:21:11 from this situation.

00:21:16 Oh.

00:21:17 It hurts, and that which hurts is incredibly liberating.

00:21:27 So good.

00:21:31 So good.

00:21:33 So good.

00:21:34 I got you, right?

00:21:36 Oh my gosh.

00:21:37 Oh my gosh.

00:21:39 It's so liberating.

00:21:46 Yeah, all the Republicans are rushing out to defend Russell,

00:21:48 people I've known for years.

00:21:50 Rush Houghton didn't say boo to a mouse regarding me

00:21:52 when I was obviously unjustly deplatformed.

00:21:54 There's a rationale all over this guy.

00:21:56 All over this, oh, defend this guy,

00:21:59 and push back, and he's just being attacked

00:22:01 because he's telling truth to power,

00:22:03 and we're gonna rush and defend him,

00:22:05 and it's like him, him, him, really?

00:22:08 Well, y'all can have the world as far as I'm concerned.

00:22:17 Yeah, take the world, it's all yours.

00:22:19 I step away from the fray.

00:22:21 I appreciate the unbelievable, clear supernova

00:22:26 in my brain communication.

00:22:29 This is who you go to the war for.

00:22:30 This guy you go to the war for.

00:22:34 Yeah, it's, I mean, it's incredibly liberating for me.

00:22:46 It's like, whew, I'm very glad I didn't stay in that space.

00:22:50 Given the people what remain.

00:22:52 Given the people what remain.

00:22:55 That's the guy they go to the war for.

00:22:57 That's the guy they risk everything to defend.

00:23:02 That's the, well, I don't know what they're risking.

00:23:03 Maybe something, maybe not.

00:23:04 But that's, they finally have found someone to rally around.

00:23:10 And it's a highly degenerate ex-drug addict

00:23:14 accused of criminal stuff, skeeve comedian.

00:23:19 (laughs)

00:23:26 We must link arms, brothers,

00:23:27 and create a phalanx of outrage around skeevy Jesus.

00:23:32 (laughs)

00:23:34 Oh my God.

00:23:36 Oh, I don't know how do people live with themselves.

00:23:40 (laughs)

00:23:41 How do people live with themselves?

00:23:44 Explain it to me, people, I just don't understand.

00:23:48 (laughs)

00:23:50 None shall pass.

00:23:54 We are defending tall, beanpole,

00:23:57 scraggly-eyes ex-drug addict guy.

00:24:01 It has to be the hair.

00:24:02 Yes, he does look like a chia pet

00:24:04 plugged into the manes, right?

00:24:06 (laughs)

00:24:08 Oh, it's just wild.

00:24:13 It's just wild.

00:24:16 I mean, you know, he's a leftist.

00:24:20 He defends state power, state force, and so on.

00:24:23 He thinks that by attacking the corporations,

00:24:25 he's somehow defending the state or something like that.

00:24:28 Steph, it's only because you lost your British accent.

00:24:32 Yeah, it's really something.

00:24:34 Brand was less controversial than you, Steph.

00:24:40 Maybe that's why he's easier to defend.

00:24:42 Brand has great teeth for a Brit.

00:24:45 Hey, so do I.

00:24:46 Can you talk like an American?

00:24:48 I mean, I can talk a little bit like an American.

00:24:50 I just reviewed the Wild West video

00:24:54 that I recorded a little while ago,

00:24:56 and some guy, a good friend of mine, I guess,

00:25:01 he did put some video images to it,

00:25:06 and I think it's come out real good.

00:25:08 When Steph was banned, only Peter Schiff

00:25:11 said something about it that I remember.

00:25:13 Well, I think...

00:25:14 I think...

00:25:18 No, there were a couple of other people.

00:25:20 I think Mike Cernovich said a couple things,

00:25:23 which was nice, and Dave Smith, maybe?

00:25:27 I don't remember Tom Woods.

00:25:29 Maybe, yeah, maybe.

00:25:30 Yeah, Styx for sure.

00:25:34 Styx for sure.

00:25:36 Poor, poor Buckethead.

00:25:38 I have tech issues, man.

00:25:39 Styx is getting completely hobbled and crippled.

00:25:44 So, yeah, it was a little something,

00:25:47 because I'm just like,

00:25:49 "Wow, people really go under the wall for this guy.

00:25:51 "Wow, are they ever circling the wagons for this guy?"

00:25:54 I mean, wow.

00:25:57 That's amazing.

00:25:59 Because this guy did, in my view,

00:26:02 not illegal, it's age of consent stuff,

00:26:04 but he prayed at the age of 31 on a 16-year-old girl.

00:26:07 Ooh, we'll defend that guy.

00:26:13 Not the happily married, peaceful parenting guy

00:26:16 of 20-plus years.

00:26:17 (laughs)

00:26:19 Teenage Lolita guy, yeah!

00:26:25 Let's really protect that guy.

00:26:27 Ooh, it's so gross.

00:26:29 It's like a Me Too moment

00:26:32 with a porcupine down your pants,

00:26:33 and I think we've all been there at one time or another.

00:26:35 If we haven't, we've dreamed about it.

00:26:37 (sighs)

00:26:41 It's wild.

00:26:44 Again, intensely liberating.

00:26:47 Intensely liberating.

00:26:48 Freedom!

00:26:51 All right, so do you wanna know

00:26:53 what's really going on here?

00:26:55 What's really going on?

00:26:56 So as I mentioned,

00:26:59 we'll talk epigenetics.

00:27:02 So epigenetics are when genes are turned on and off

00:27:05 based upon environmental cues.

00:27:08 So there are boys who are born

00:27:10 with a certain kind of warrior gene,

00:27:11 and if they're exposed to physical abuse,

00:27:13 that warrior gene activates

00:27:14 and makes them significantly more aggressive.

00:27:17 The age of consent stuff is based on a range.

00:27:20 I don't think that's the case in the UK.

00:27:22 Russell Brand seems to have been very keen

00:27:23 to find out that she was 16 for legal reasons.

00:27:26 So I don't know.

00:27:27 I'm not a British lawyer,

00:27:28 but I don't know if it's an age gap thing.

00:27:30 So what is going on with promiscuity?

00:27:35 And in particular, with childhood sexual abuse?

00:27:39 Thank you for the tips, by the way.

00:27:41 I will get your tip questions.

00:27:42 I really appreciate it,

00:27:43 and I hope that you will check out the show

00:27:45 that I uploaded, freedomain.locals.com.

00:27:47 I did an hour today on some really,

00:27:48 gosh, you guys have the best questions

00:27:50 in their own universe.

00:27:51 You'll tickle my brain with a Faustian,

00:27:54 eat me, beat me, licorice whip,

00:27:57 feather of exorbitant intellect tickling.

00:28:02 So childhood sexual abuse is there to promote promiscuity.

00:28:09 So promiscuity is when your genes for our selection

00:28:14 are stimulated by premature childhood sexual experiences.

00:28:19 It could be sexual abuse, of course,

00:28:21 exposure to porn,

00:28:22 seeing your parents repeatedly having sex, and so on.

00:28:24 So the earlier that you are exposed to sex,

00:28:26 the more likely it is you are to become promiscuous, right?

00:28:30 So what's happening, of course,

00:28:32 is that it's a way for the genes,

00:28:39 the epigenetics to reproduce,

00:28:41 which is to continually aim at promiscuity,

00:28:46 and particularly to be drawn to younger people.

00:28:50 In this case, of course,

00:28:52 somebody who was not legally adult.

00:28:53 I don't think you're legally adult at 16 in England,

00:28:55 but somebody with whom it was legal to have sex.

00:28:57 So you're drawn towards younger and younger girls.

00:28:59 And the reason for that is that

00:29:01 the more you expose younger people to sexual experiences,

00:29:05 the more you will trigger promiscuity,

00:29:07 which then turns on the promiscuity epigenetics,

00:29:10 and that's how they reproduce.

00:29:12 Does this make sense?

00:29:13 This is what he's doing, right?

00:29:15 You can join the army at the age of 16 in the UK.

00:29:18 All right, is drinking 18, 21?

00:29:23 I don't think it's 19 in Canada.

00:29:25 Yeah, so that's what, it's 18 in the UK.

00:29:31 I guess it would have to be,

00:29:32 otherwise it'd be a rather brain-sodden revolution.

00:29:35 So does this make sense?

00:29:37 So this is what he's up to,

00:29:38 and he's out there to traumatize the pair bonding.

00:29:42 He is a super spreader of the epigenetics of promiscuity.

00:29:46 Yeah, his R-selected genes are activated,

00:29:49 and then he has ridiculously serial sexual encounters.

00:29:54 One girl claims that she was assaulted

00:29:56 because she wouldn't have,

00:29:57 or after she refused to have a threesome

00:30:00 with Russell Brand, or a ninesome if you include his ego.

00:30:03 So yeah, he's a super spreader

00:30:04 of the epigenetics of promiscuity,

00:30:06 or the epigenetics of R-selected stuff.

00:30:09 And it really is a satanic offer, right?

00:30:13 Why do you have, why do you have worth?

00:30:15 Why do you have worth?

00:30:16 Why do you have worth?

00:30:18 Oh, well, I slept with Russell Brand, you see.

00:30:20 And oh, I'm that attractive.

00:30:22 And does he have a kid?

00:30:23 I think he's got some kids now.

00:30:24 His wife might even be pregnant

00:30:25 if I remember reading that rightly,

00:30:26 but yeah, it's pretty rough.

00:30:28 And it is, of course, it's pretty wild

00:30:34 to watch the left now have a problem with promiscuity.

00:30:37 But yeah, I mean, that's the devilish bargain.

00:30:40 Hey man, take what you want.

00:30:41 There'll never be a price for it.

00:30:42 Just take what you want.

00:30:44 But of course, if you have a past like this,

00:30:48 and there've been lots of rumors

00:30:49 about the guy for many years.

00:30:51 I have no idea what's true, what's false.

00:30:53 I have no idea what's true, what's false.

00:30:56 But he's had a reputation as being,

00:30:59 or he's admitted to being wildly,

00:31:00 it's wildly promiscuous.

00:31:02 That's the kind of promiscuity

00:31:03 that makes your average 22-year-old gay man

00:31:05 look like he's in the monastery.

00:31:07 Although maybe that's the case in the monastery too,

00:31:08 I don't know.

00:31:09 But it's pretty wild to watch the left

00:31:13 get bothered by promiscuity at this point

00:31:16 in the whole situation.

00:31:18 And apparently some of these media

00:31:22 started interviewing people about Russell Brand in 2019.

00:31:25 I mean, four years in the making, right?

00:31:27 Now, why do you think people aren't believing

00:31:31 these accusations?

00:31:34 Or why do you think that they find them

00:31:36 not objective or not credible?

00:31:38 A lot of them, right?

00:31:39 Fake news, the timing.

00:31:48 Oh yeah, Russell Brand has been critical

00:31:49 of some power centers in the world for sure.

00:31:52 The timing, yeah.

00:31:57 Not many people trust the media these days.

00:32:02 (silence)

00:32:04 No, sorry, I hate to be annoying about this,

00:32:12 but this I'm very sure of.

00:32:14 Of course it doesn't mean I'm right,

00:32:15 it's just 'cause I'm sure doesn't mean I'm right.

00:32:16 And if I'm wrong, please let me know.

00:32:18 The reason that nobody's believing this stuff

00:32:22 because it's post-Epstein, right?

00:32:30 Because it's post-Epstein.

00:32:32 And what the media didn't do, right?

00:32:38 So when the media claims to be horrified

00:32:42 that somebody potentially sexually exploited

00:32:44 a younger person.

00:32:46 I mean, post-Epstein, it's like you step over the body

00:32:49 to claim to whatever, right?

00:32:51 Oh, Jordan Peterson had Russell Brand on his podcast.

00:32:59 (sighs)

00:33:01 It's really tough, man.

00:33:08 Yes, "Out of Freedom" guy is getting it.

00:33:12 It's, yeah, it's really tough.

00:33:14 It's horrible, I mean, 'cause of course rape

00:33:16 is one of the most ugly, vicious, and vile crimes

00:33:19 that's possible.

00:33:20 And it is really tough because generally,

00:33:26 I mean, there could be witnesses,

00:33:28 there can be text messages that are incriminating

00:33:30 and so on.

00:33:31 And of course, I remember I did a show many years ago

00:33:33 about a Canadian broadcaster, John Gomeshi,

00:33:36 who was criticized for this kind of stuff

00:33:39 or it was claimed that he had engaged in sexual misconduct.

00:33:44 Now, do you know, of course, if the woman has been

00:33:48 beaten up and she has tears in her reproductive organs

00:33:53 and there's semen evidence and bruises,

00:33:56 then she goes to the police, she does the rape kit,

00:33:58 and then, I mean, that's pretty clear, right?

00:34:00 That's pretty clear, right?

00:34:01 So the law obviously can handle that.

00:34:06 I don't know how the law can handle he said, she said,

00:34:10 right, two people are alone, there's no evidence

00:34:13 of physical damage, there's no bruising,

00:34:15 there's no evidence, no torn clothing, nothing like that.

00:34:18 So there's nothing physical to differentiate

00:34:21 between consensual and non-consensual.

00:34:24 The woman claims it was non-consensual,

00:34:27 and how can the law prove beyond a reasonable doubt

00:34:32 when there's no physical evidence

00:34:34 and it's word versus word?

00:34:36 Easy, believable women, no, that's not,

00:34:38 I mean, obviously, that's not a valid legal principle.

00:34:41 I know you're kind of joking, right?

00:34:42 But so what can the law do?

00:34:44 So generally, what the law has done,

00:34:48 what the common law has done, I don't know if you guys know

00:34:50 how the law has tried to handle this,

00:34:53 this he said, she said stuff.

00:34:56 (murmurs)

00:34:59 I just wanna, I know it's tough, I'm talking

00:35:03 and you're typing, so it takes this little bit

00:35:05 of a lag here, but.

00:35:06 How does the law handle the he said, she said stuff?

00:35:17 Yeah, Danny Masterson's on three decades now, yeah.

00:35:21 Most police won't take a he says, she says file

00:35:25 to the prosecutor and if they do,

00:35:26 the prosecutor usually does nothing.

00:35:28 If you've been hurt, it's sad, it's tough,

00:35:30 but you better have some evidence

00:35:31 or no one will listen to you.

00:35:32 They side with the women,

00:35:33 so there's two different views there.

00:35:35 Whoever's more credible as assessed by the jury,

00:35:37 the prosecutor would bring a case,

00:35:40 is it really so far fetched to imagine him taking it

00:35:42 too far during a drug fueled encounter?

00:35:45 Well, maybe, but gotta bring in character witnesses

00:35:49 and such, sorry to be annoying,

00:35:50 it's just 'cause I studied this before.

00:35:52 So the way that the law attempts to deal with this

00:35:55 is through similarity of reports, right?

00:35:59 Similarity of reports.

00:36:00 So let's say that we don't have to talk about anybody here

00:36:05 or make up a guy named Daniel, right?

00:36:09 So let's say Daniel is accused of rape,

00:36:14 but there's no violence, right?

00:36:16 Maybe he just whispers threats or whatever it is,

00:36:18 like I'll kill your family if you don't, whatever, right?

00:36:20 So he just whispers threats and then the women submit,

00:36:25 but let's say that he mutters a Latin phrase, right?

00:36:30 Which is a very, very unusual thing.

00:36:31 So in the past, when common law was developed

00:36:34 over the last, I don't know, thousand years or whatever,

00:36:36 even before that if you count Rome or Greece.

00:36:39 So what happens is you look for similarity of story.

00:36:44 Like he did this, he did that, he put on this song,

00:36:51 and then he whispered this Latin phrase.

00:36:52 Now if, think of sort of, I don't know, 200 years ago,

00:36:56 if you've got five women in five different cities

00:36:58 all saying the same thing,

00:36:59 then that's a commonality of evidence.

00:37:01 And that is one way that you overcome the he said, she said.

00:37:06 Like what are the odds that all these three women

00:37:08 who don't know each other,

00:37:09 who've never communicated before,

00:37:10 have the same story about how this guy does what he does?

00:37:13 So that is how the law attempted to overcome

00:37:18 the he said, she said, which is how could it be possible

00:37:22 that five women would know

00:37:23 that he put this particular song on,

00:37:24 said this Latin phrase, and then did what he did, right?

00:37:27 But of course, that was before the modern internet

00:37:33 and age of communication.

00:37:35 You can find people and you can have self-shredding

00:37:39 messaging apps and so on.

00:37:40 So yeah, how do you know whether they know each other

00:37:43 or not?

00:37:44 So this is another problem that they had.

00:37:45 I think this was a problem in the Gian Gomeschi trial

00:37:47 as well, if I remember rightly so.

00:37:48 But don't quote me on it, go look it up.

00:37:50 But that's a big challenge.

00:37:53 It's a big, big challenge.

00:37:55 So it's tough, it's tough.

00:38:02 It's a very, very tough situation.

00:38:06 It's awful and I don't know how they're going to,

00:38:12 you know, this stuff, some of it is 15 years old

00:38:16 or it's gonna be, it's very tough.

00:38:20 It's very tough.

00:38:20 And this is why society poured heart, mind, body, and soul

00:38:28 into trying to get people married off

00:38:29 as soon as humanly possible, right?

00:38:31 As soon as humanly possible.

00:38:35 So after his childhood, he sort of had a chance

00:38:48 at a normal life and family.

00:38:50 So do you spread your dysfunction

00:38:53 or do you contain your dysfunction, right?

00:38:55 I mean, this is the big question

00:38:57 if you've had a bad childhood, right?

00:38:58 Do you, are you a super spreader

00:39:00 or are you an immunizer, so to speak, right?

00:39:02 I have done my very best as a public figure

00:39:05 to try and immunize people against bad childhoods

00:39:07 by talking about peaceful parenting

00:39:09 and modeling it and demonstrating it

00:39:10 and all that kind of stuff.

00:39:11 So I have tried to be as hard as possible.

00:39:14 You guys are the ultimate judges

00:39:15 of how well I've done on that.

00:39:17 But I've tried to be somebody who immunizes people

00:39:19 against a bad childhood,

00:39:20 rather than being a super spreader of bad childhoods

00:39:23 by modeling and promoting decadence,

00:39:27 exploitation, and crappy short-term,

00:39:31 R-selected behavior.

00:39:32 Steph, do you think Brand has redeemed himself

00:39:38 through his work on YouTube?

00:39:40 What do you mean redeemed himself?

00:39:48 I don't, I mean, I know what the word redeemed means.

00:39:51 Overcome his demons?

00:39:57 What are you talking about?

00:39:58 No, no, I'm sorry.

00:40:03 (laughs)

00:40:04 I'm sorry.

00:40:05 No, I'm, oh, see, I mean,

00:40:12 bitter Steph's floating around my brain

00:40:13 like a black hole sun,

00:40:15 so I'm gonna try and be nice about this.

00:40:18 Redeemed himself through his work on YouTube?

00:40:21 The guy slept with 1,000 or 2,000 women.

00:40:29 Do you know the damage that he's done?

00:40:34 Do you know the damage that he's done?

00:40:38 How is being skeptical about Big Pharma

00:40:43 and the military-industrial complex

00:40:45 healing the women that, in my view, he exploited?

00:40:48 See, there's no big cosmic bank, right?

00:40:52 If I steal your dog,

00:40:56 and then later I give to a cat shelter,

00:40:59 have I redeemed myself?

00:41:00 No, 'cause you don't have your dog back.

00:41:02 Now, if he had called up these women and apologized,

00:41:11 and maybe some restitution, some therapy, I don't know,

00:41:14 'cause you don't get to make restitution in general.

00:41:17 Restitution is specific to the people you've harmed.

00:41:20 What did he do to the 16-year-old girl?

00:41:31 What did he do to the 16-year-old girl?

00:41:36 Now, what was done to him was very bad.

00:41:38 What was done to Russell Brand as a child by his father,

00:41:42 the, you know, his mother obviously married the dad,

00:41:44 so that's bad, and her illness was traumatic,

00:41:46 and his father had taken him to Hong Kong

00:41:49 for prostitution, 17, blech, that's horrible,

00:41:53 and the sexual abuse that seems to have happened

00:41:55 to him as a kid, absolutely terrible.

00:41:57 Absolutely terrible.

00:41:59 Absolutely terrible.

00:42:03 But what did he do to the 16-year-old girl?

00:42:13 The fact that he, I don't know,

00:42:18 said some minorly-based stuff on YouTube,

00:42:24 how does that, no, Will Chamberlain,

00:42:28 wasn't he like 10,000?

00:42:30 How does that fix her heart?

00:42:32 Right?

00:42:36 Do you want me to trace what happens to the 16-year-old?

00:42:40 I don't know if it's dark stuff, right?

00:42:42 Do you want me to, do you want me to trace that?

00:42:47 It's not gonna be fine.

00:42:53 So I don't wanna talk about this woman.

00:42:59 I don't know her, I don't know her story

00:43:01 other than what she's reportedly said and so on,

00:43:06 so I'm just gonna make up this woman named Susanna.

00:43:10 Oh, Susanna.

00:43:11 All right, so Susanna, right?

00:43:12 So Susanna in her mid-teens gets approached

00:43:17 by a world-famous movie star celebrity.

00:43:22 Now clearly he's only interested in her

00:43:28 for her youth and her body.

00:43:30 Why?

00:43:32 'Cause she's 16.

00:43:33 Susanna is 16, what does she have to offer

00:43:37 other than youth and fertility signals, right?

00:43:41 Youth and physical beauty.

00:43:42 So he's only interested in using her for sex.

00:43:45 Now, she submits to this and they go out

00:43:50 for a couple of months and then, boom, he moves on,

00:43:55 abandons her, and then what?

00:43:58 I assume people know, people know.

00:44:03 Now, Susanna has a prom coming up.

00:44:07 Susanna has a prom coming up and people know, of course,

00:44:14 that she's been in a hypersexual relationship

00:44:17 with a drug addict who's very famous.

00:44:19 Quick question, are you asking Susanna to the prom?

00:44:26 Are you?

00:44:29 Are you asking Susanna to the prom?

00:44:33 (audience member sighs)

00:44:36 Well, it's not just an ew thing,

00:44:37 it's also like, well, what am I gonna do

00:44:39 that's gonna compete with world-famous celebrity guy?

00:44:43 What am I gonna do?

00:44:47 I know you're gonna be looking at me and saying,

00:44:48 well, you're way poorer and way less famous

00:44:52 and way less attractive and way less appealing

00:44:54 than world-famous movie star celebrity guy.

00:44:56 What is gonna happen?

00:45:02 And now you can't hide anything, right?

00:45:04 Did Susanna miscalculate when she consented with brand?

00:45:11 Susanna, Susanna is like seven years away

00:45:18 from brain maturity.

00:45:21 She's a kid!

00:45:31 What used to keep this at bay is fathers with shotguns,

00:45:34 and I'm not kidding about that.

00:45:36 Maybe it was Roman swords, I don't know.

00:45:37 But that's what used to keep this.

00:45:39 You're a 31-year-old guy,

00:45:41 you come sniffing around a 16-year-old daughter,

00:45:44 it's like, well, I guess we've got food for pigs and worms.

00:45:49 What's her life gonna be like?

00:46:00 What's her life gonna be like going forward?

00:46:01 Who's gonna date her?

00:46:03 Who's gonna take her to prom?

00:46:04 Who's gonna hold her hand?

00:46:06 Who's gonna buy her flowers?

00:46:08 Who's gonna woo her?

00:46:12 Everybody knows, everybody knows.

00:46:18 Everybody knows that the good guy's lost.

00:46:25 Probably a series of exploitive relationships, yeah.

00:46:28 And of course, why would he pray?

00:46:30 In my view, it's praying.

00:46:31 Why would he pray on a,

00:46:32 why would the movie star pray on this girl?

00:46:35 Because she's unprotected.

00:46:37 Is she gonna spend any time

00:46:40 trying to get to know any guys either?

00:46:42 No, because she's been used like a piece of meat

00:46:45 and discarded like a pizza box in the garbage.

00:46:49 He has so many options and he chooses a kid.

00:46:58 No, remember, he's a vehicle, he's a super spreader.

00:47:00 The genes choose the kid.

00:47:01 Right, so the genes, the addiction is to lower

00:47:05 any resistance so that the genes can have their way.

00:47:08 At least Brand is not woke though.

00:47:11 Oh, God.

00:47:18 I can't even.

00:47:25 I can't even.

00:47:26 (laughs)

00:47:29 No, thank you, thank you very much.

00:47:31 No, what's her future gonna be?

00:47:39 Everywhere she goes, she's gonna be,

00:47:41 oh, you know, Susanna, she's the girl

00:47:44 who slept with that movie star

00:47:45 when he was like twice her age.

00:47:47 How many bitter feminists does this movie star predator

00:47:55 leave in his wake?

00:47:56 Everywhere she goes.

00:47:57 Oh, that's the, that's the girl who had this

00:48:01 sex affair with the movie star.

00:48:05 I mean, imagine, imagine you go to a movie

00:48:17 and the movie star shows up.

00:48:18 Some guy takes the girl to the movie.

00:48:20 Hey, didn't you, didn't you bang that guy

00:48:23 when you were like six years old?

00:48:24 Didn't you bang that guy when you were a kid?

00:48:27 I saw a woman who came out in the TV dating naked

00:48:38 and she says all men dump her when they find out

00:48:40 she came out in that TV show.

00:48:41 (sighs)

00:48:47 Yeah, I mean, Russell Brand still loves Jeremy Corbyn,

00:48:51 doesn't he?

00:48:51 Still socialist-y and all of that, so.

00:48:54 Man, it's just sad.

00:48:56 You know, the fellow traveler savior compulsion

00:49:02 that's on the right is really cucked and pathetic.

00:49:05 It's like the right is just this cuck chair

00:49:08 at the corner of the dingy hotel room, right?

00:49:10 Yeah, Roman Polanski absolutely did prey on a child.

00:49:16 And he got a standing ovation.

00:49:18 Got a standing ovation, whereas Elia Kazan,

00:49:20 the guy who discovered Marlon Brando

00:49:22 when directed "On the Waterfront"

00:49:23 and "Streetcar Named Desire" and other great stuff,

00:49:25 totally blacklisted for decades

00:49:29 because he pointed out that communists

00:49:30 had a lot of power in Hollywood.

00:49:32 Yeah, it's wild.

00:49:41 Woody Allen, wasn't it, his stepdaughter?

00:49:46 They married, I don't know.

00:49:47 (groans)

00:49:49 God, we need a Borax shower

00:49:53 after this kind of conversations, right?

00:49:55 Suk Yin Lee, something like that.

00:49:59 Yeah, but what's he gonna do?

00:50:07 How's he going to, how is the movie star guy,

00:50:12 how is he going to restore

00:50:16 the dating and marriage prospects of the child?

00:50:20 Whatever happened to Katy Perry, weren't they married?

00:50:25 Yeah, they were married for about 15 minutes

00:50:27 and I don't think she ever said why they broke up,

00:50:30 but maybe it had something to do with this

00:50:32 that she found out about, I don't know, or this stuff.

00:50:34 Jerry Lee Lewis, he did marry a teenager

00:50:39 and was he a cousin?

00:50:41 If I remember right, it was something,

00:50:44 something truly tragic and Sutheran.

00:50:46 (laughs)

00:50:47 Yeah, yeah, crazy.

00:50:49 Elvis was married to a girl that,

00:50:52 Lisa Marie, wasn't she really young

00:50:53 when they got together?

00:50:55 (groans)

00:50:57 Yeah, it's rough, you know, it's rough.

00:51:05 Jimmy Page, oh yeah, Jimmy Page, David Bowie,

00:51:08 Steve Tyler from Aerosmith,

00:51:11 just a wretched group of people back then,

00:51:15 praying on girls.

00:51:17 Yeah, Brooke Shields did semi-nude stuff

00:51:21 when she was very young.

00:51:22 Yeah, it's really gross.

00:51:25 Oh God.

00:51:31 This is the world without fathers.

00:51:34 This is the world without fathers.

00:51:37 This is the world without fathers.

00:51:45 All right, let us get to our question.

00:51:49 Steph, if he's innocent of criminal wrongdoing,

00:51:51 but was morally wrong for harming a thousand women or girls,

00:51:53 would you have any sympathy if he's convicted?

00:51:56 My friend, Benelio.

00:52:02 Thank you for the tip, Josh.

00:52:07 My friend, Benelio, what on earth are you talking about?

00:52:10 If he's innocent of criminal wrongdoing,

00:52:14 how on earth would I know?

00:52:15 Oh, but he's gone through the court system.

00:52:17 Yeah, the court system.

00:52:19 Okay.

00:52:20 Would you have any sympathy if he is,

00:52:24 so if he's innocent, but he's convicted,

00:52:25 how on earth would I know?

00:52:27 I mean, I don't have any pipeline to omniscience

00:52:31 to find out whether Russell Brand or whoever

00:52:33 did good things or bad things or has lied about

00:52:35 or some tell the truth about, I don't know.

00:52:37 I don't know.

00:52:42 Why on earth would you want to create these theoreticals

00:52:45 that require omniscience,

00:52:46 which is utterly unavailable to mortal beings?

00:52:49 Well, Steph, if you knew absolutely everything

00:52:52 in the universe, okay, I'm gonna hold you right there.

00:52:55 We can't, we don't.

00:52:58 I don't do theoreticals based on impossible situations.

00:53:00 I don't do theoreticals based on impossible situations.

00:53:05 How on earth would I know whether he's innocent

00:53:07 of criminal wrongdoing?

00:53:08 How would I know if he's convicted if it happened?

00:53:10 How would I know if he's not convicted?

00:53:12 If it didn't happen, I don't know.

00:53:13 I don't know.

00:53:17 It's not a who cares, it doesn't exist.

00:53:20 The question doesn't exist.

00:53:21 The situation doesn't exist.

00:53:23 Okay, Steph, if you lived in the year 3000,

00:53:28 it's like, no, no, don't live in the year,

00:53:29 oh, okay, 1000, no, don't,

00:53:31 I don't do theoreticals that are impossible.

00:53:34 Lots of people on the right won't criticize Brand

00:53:38 because he's innocent until proven guilty.

00:53:41 (silence)

00:53:43 So they defend Brand because he's innocent

00:53:47 until proven guilty, but they didn't defend me.

00:53:50 Okay, I see the objective logic behind their approach.

00:53:55 You deserve to defense.

00:54:05 I don't see how.

00:54:06 I don't know what does it mean to deserve something.

00:54:10 I don't have any contracts with people.

00:54:13 I don't know what do you mean I deserve,

00:54:14 I mean, I'm genuinely curious what you mean

00:54:16 by I deserve to defense, people should have defended me?

00:54:19 I don't deserve that.

00:54:21 I don't have contracts.

00:54:22 Right?

00:54:25 Never broke a law or UPB, yeah.

00:54:28 Yeah, yeah, for sure.

00:54:30 So, yeah, I don't know what it means by deserved.

00:54:39 (silence)

00:54:40 They defend Brand because he's on their team,

00:54:42 Alternative Media, and they're fighting

00:54:44 against Establishment Media.

00:54:45 I was the founder of the team of Alternative Media.

00:54:51 I don't understand this defense at all.

00:54:52 They defend Brand because he's on their team,

00:54:54 Alternative Media.

00:54:55 I mean, I didn't single-handedly start it,

00:54:57 but I was first out of the gate

00:54:58 and got a lot of people going on it, so.

00:55:01 But of course the Establishment Media

00:55:02 is attacking a competitor, and there's a conflict

00:55:05 of interest to some degree to that, but.

00:55:07 (silence)

00:55:09 Yeah, I started, actually, well, I started in 2005.

00:55:17 I first started getting things going in 2005,

00:55:19 and I was like guy three or guy five on YouTube

00:55:24 and all of that, so back when it was 240p,

00:55:27 100 meg limit to uploads, all kinds of stuff.

00:55:30 You're right to participate in the interconnected

00:55:34 discussion that existed on the internet

00:55:36 before severe censorship should have been respected.

00:55:38 I hear what you're saying, your interconnected discussion

00:55:46 that existed on the internet.

00:55:47 I mean, I created a lot of that discussion, right?

00:55:49 Got people prominent and got them in touch

00:55:52 with each other and all of that, and that's,

00:55:54 you know, that was fun, and I'm glad that I did it.

00:55:55 It's sort of 2006 to 2016 was the Wild West

00:55:58 of Liberty and all of that.

00:56:00 Should have been respected.

00:56:05 But I'm an empiricist, so I'm not even sure

00:56:10 I wanted people to defend me, to be honest.

00:56:12 See, I don't know if I can get this across,

00:56:15 'cause it's a tough and complicated one,

00:56:17 but it might be very liberating for you.

00:56:19 It might be liberating for you.

00:56:23 I didn't violate YouTube terms of service.

00:56:31 I don't think so, obviously.

00:56:33 (audience member speaking faintly)

00:56:37 Um.

00:56:38 I don't want people to do things other than be themselves.

00:56:46 Does this make sense?

00:56:48 Like, I say, well, I wanted people to do X, Y, or Z.

00:56:52 No, I'm an empiricist, so I want people

00:56:57 to be their true, authentic selves so I know who they are.

00:57:01 I don't want them to camouflage themselves

00:57:03 by conforming to any of my expectations.

00:57:05 I try to go out there in the world without expectations,

00:57:09 because I don't want expectations to interfere

00:57:12 with people's free expression of their authentic selves.

00:57:14 Now, their authentic selves may be good, bad, or indifferent,

00:57:17 but I deserve this, I should have gotten that.

00:57:21 It's like, no, I want people to make their decisions

00:57:25 clearly according to their own conscience

00:57:27 without external pressure from me.

00:57:29 I don't want my thumb on the scale.

00:57:31 I don't want to bribe the judge.

00:57:33 I don't want to influence the referee.

00:57:34 I want people to do, I mean, did I get out there

00:57:39 and shame people or bully people or anything like that?

00:57:41 No, because I want them to do what they do

00:57:43 of their own free will and volition

00:57:45 so I know who the hell they are.

00:57:48 (silence)

00:57:50 It's the principles that need defending, freedom of speech.

00:58:04 Yes?

00:58:05 Well, but freedom of speech was only allowable

00:58:10 when there were gatekeepers.

00:58:12 So freedom of speech was a principle that was allowed

00:58:15 only as long as you could control

00:58:17 what went out to the general public

00:58:18 through control over newspapers, televisions,

00:58:20 magazines, and so on, and colleges and universities.

00:58:24 So freedom of speech was very important

00:58:26 when there was no possibility the average person

00:58:28 being able to influence or change anything

00:58:30 or communicate with anyone based on freedom of speech.

00:58:33 Does that make sense?

00:58:35 Like, freedom of speech was a really, really

00:58:37 important value until it was actually possible

00:58:43 for the average person to practice effective free speech.

00:58:48 Now, once the average person could effectively

00:58:53 practice free speech, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa,

00:58:57 free speech, that's something we just talk about.

00:59:00 It's something that we write down,

00:59:02 but if people actually have it and it's changing things

00:59:05 and arguments are getting out there that we don't want,

00:59:07 no, no, no, freedom of speech is fine

00:59:09 when we have the gatekeepers,

00:59:10 but without the gatekeepers, well,

00:59:11 we're gonna have to change things around a little bit.

00:59:14 Ain't so much fun, right?

00:59:18 Yeah, yeah, no, freedom of speech is great

00:59:24 until there's actually freedom of speech.

00:59:26 (laughs)

00:59:29 Yeah, oh, yeah.

00:59:32 Do you think that the alternative media

00:59:40 were also distracted by COVID

00:59:42 and so didn't prioritize defending you?

00:59:44 No, no, no, no.

00:59:50 No, don't, listen, don't give people excuses.

00:59:53 Don't give me excuses, don't give censors excuses,

00:59:55 don't give people excuses.

00:59:56 Well, but what if they were, don't give them excuses,

01:00:00 please, it's an insult to free will to give people excuses.

01:00:03 All right.

01:00:03 Hi, Steph, I wonder,

01:00:08 have you any thoughts on globalization?

01:00:10 To my mind, it is one of the greatest causes of human woe.

01:00:13 It has affected the structure of society and thus our lives.

01:00:15 It has removed the primary activities

01:00:17 from out of the hands of the community.

01:00:19 Australia has lost over 90% of its manufacturing

01:00:21 and from what I've read, over 98% of industry

01:00:23 and food production has grown

01:00:24 by 5% of the population out West.

01:00:27 How can there be community meaning

01:00:28 when we don't manage these activities or our own activities?

01:00:32 Yeah, well, I mean,

01:00:37 the government buys votes

01:00:39 by driving up the cost of production.

01:00:42 Environmental groups are funded by foreign governments

01:00:48 and activists to shut down manufacturing

01:00:49 in the host country.

01:00:50 I mean, you know that some environmental activists

01:00:52 are funded by Saudi Arabia

01:00:53 to shut down Western production of oil

01:00:56 so that the Saudis can sell more oil, right?

01:00:59 So it's all government stuff.

01:01:00 So I don't look at it in particular things,

01:01:03 just look at the general principle.

01:01:06 (mouse clicking)

01:01:09 Hey, Steph, I've been mulling over what you said

01:01:11 in the Ancient Rome show about digging in versus fleeing.

01:01:14 And I have some questions for you.

01:01:15 How do you know when it's time to leave the country?

01:01:18 Do you think it's still too early?

01:01:19 And will you tell us when you go and to what country?

01:01:23 Thank you so much.

01:01:24 I don't talk that much about my life

01:01:27 and big decisions as a whole

01:01:28 so I'm not sure I can commit to that.

01:01:31 I don't know.

01:01:32 See, to ask me when,

01:01:35 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:01:38 Should I stay or should I go?

01:01:39 To ask me is different because I assume

01:01:42 that you're not some prominent guy, whatever.

01:01:45 So your choices may be very different,

01:01:48 may be very different from mine.

01:01:49 So I can't tell you when you should stay,

01:01:52 when you should go, what your decision points should be.

01:01:55 Expose yourself to information

01:01:57 and your gut will give you the tipping point.

01:01:59 Your gut will give you the tipping point.

01:02:01 Hello.

01:02:04 Thank you, Marilla.

01:02:05 Sam, in the ongoing cultural war,

01:02:07 is it a coincidence that the rise of aboriginal activism,

01:02:09 reparations and paying the rent is Marxist in and out?

01:02:12 Oh yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.

01:02:13 It's just a form of victory guilt, right?

01:02:17 So Marxism is a form of victory guilt,

01:02:20 like you win and the person who's lost

01:02:22 wants to make you feel guilty

01:02:24 so that you give them resources if they won, right?

01:02:30 If you build an arc, let me know.

01:02:32 Well, you know, I haven't built an arc,

01:02:34 but I would say my entire career has been kind of an arc.

01:02:38 All right.

01:02:40 If you would like to tip, I would be very happy to do that.

01:02:47 To receive your tips, you can tip, of course,

01:02:50 on Rumble as well as all of that.

01:02:53 And you should check out what Rumble wrote

01:02:55 to the British government.

01:02:56 It's actually quite interesting.

01:02:59 All right.

01:02:59 Freedom of speech is a euphemism for subverting Christianity.

01:03:07 Thinkers like Vox Dei may be skeptical

01:03:09 towards the Enlightenment Project in its entirety.

01:03:11 Well, there's no freedom of speech

01:03:16 in government classrooms, right?

01:03:18 There's no freedom of speech in government classrooms.

01:03:20 And I mean, I remember sitting there with my hand up

01:03:22 and not being called on

01:03:24 'cause I had something important to say.

01:03:26 I mean, there's no freedom of speech.

01:03:27 You can't disagree, you can't fight back.

01:03:28 And this is all the way through college, undergraduate,

01:03:32 master's degree, PhDs, postdoctorate.

01:03:34 There's no freedom of speech.

01:03:36 Children are shoved off to these places

01:03:40 where they're not allowed to speak freely.

01:03:41 And so there's no freedom of speech.

01:03:43 Wherever there's coercion, there's no freedom of speech.

01:03:47 So everybody talks about freedom of speech.

01:03:50 Like, well, what about freedom of speech for children?

01:03:52 They're not allowed to criticize, to be skeptical,

01:03:54 to attack positions that are considered sanct and holy

01:03:59 by the generally low IQ brain muffins

01:04:02 that come out of the educational department.

01:04:04 So there's no freedom of speech for kids.

01:04:05 And how many times do you hear people talk

01:04:06 about freedom of speech for kids?

01:04:08 Do you know what the most essential freedom of speech

01:04:10 in my life is?

01:04:11 My daughter.

01:04:12 I want my daughter to have pure freedom of speech,

01:04:15 to disagree, to argue, to oppose,

01:04:19 to, and not just to talk about it, to be able to act on it.

01:04:23 So freedom of speech is absolutely essential for children.

01:04:26 Who talks about freedom of speech for kids?

01:04:31 Do you see just how unbelievably bigoted

01:04:36 our children, like our attitudes towards children are?

01:04:41 We don't ever think about their rights.

01:04:44 We don't ever think, well, if we want freedom of speech,

01:04:46 first place we gotta have it is kids,

01:04:48 which means the kids have to be allowed to disagree.

01:04:49 Now, of course, in the Soviet Union, under communism,

01:04:52 if you, communism was perfect, you see,

01:04:54 and so if you disagreed or disliked,

01:04:56 if you disagreed with or disliked communism,

01:04:58 you must be mentally ill,

01:04:59 and they drug the living crap out of your brain

01:05:01 and turn it into a can of pea soup.

01:05:02 I mean, how is that different from psych meds

01:05:09 in government school?

01:05:10 Well, government schools are perfect.

01:05:11 If you have a problem with government schools,

01:05:12 there's gotta be something wrong with your brain.

01:05:15 It's chemical imbalance.

01:05:19 You've got to be broken in the brain

01:05:21 to not love this school.

01:05:22 (sighs)

01:05:31 Listen, I appreciate the thought.

01:05:33 If you can hold off on the $1 tips, I'd appreciate that,

01:05:35 'cause if you only have a buck,

01:05:36 please, please keep it for yourself.

01:05:37 I don't, don't give it to me.

01:05:38 I, I, that's very kind, but I appreciate that.

01:05:41 Steph already fled to Antarctica.

01:05:44 That's all the tech issues.

01:05:46 You're not even allowed to go to Antarctica, are you?

01:05:49 At least the comments section is nicer nowadays.

01:05:51 Oh, I miss the spice.

01:05:53 I miss the spice sometimes.

01:05:54 I really enjoyed that spiciness.

01:05:56 Regarding run or hunker in,

01:06:00 personally, I and some friends with shared high standards

01:06:02 and values have moved close to each other.

01:06:04 It really helps to have a support network around.

01:06:05 Very true.

01:06:06 If you don't have anything nice to say,

01:06:10 don't say anything at all.

01:06:12 How often do the teachers say,

01:06:16 "Don't say anything at all."

01:06:17 How often are the teachers saying nice things, right?

01:06:20 Yeah, the southern lights behind you there, yeah, yeah.

01:06:28 You're not even allowed to fly over Antarctica?

01:06:30 I actually want to go to Antarctica.

01:06:32 Steph, do you think extreme promiscuity

01:06:35 is borderline immoral or it's amoral

01:06:37 and more related to aesthetically preferable behavior?

01:06:39 Does it even matter how it's categorized?

01:06:41 (sighing)

01:06:43 Have we done a rant?

01:06:49 Have we done a rant?

01:06:51 Have we done a rant this show?

01:06:55 I don't know.

01:06:56 I did have half an oatmeal cookie this afternoon,

01:07:02 so I'm jazzed, baby!

01:07:04 All right.

01:07:10 Yeah, we can probably rant.

01:07:15 Yeah, we can probably rant.

01:07:17 Are you ready?

01:07:19 You ready?

01:07:20 You ready?

01:07:21 You ready?

01:07:22 So, here's the question.

01:07:27 Do you think extreme promiscuity is borderline immoral

01:07:31 or it's amoral and more related

01:07:34 to aesthetically preferable behavior?

01:07:35 Does it matter how it is categorized?

01:07:40 So, promiscuity is one thing and one thing only.

01:07:45 Oh, thank you for the tip!

01:07:49 Then somebody says, "Thank you for tonight's show.

01:07:51 "I've always learned something which is relevant

01:07:52 "to my self-improvement.

01:07:53 "Please squeeze in a rant."

01:07:55 I will try to squeeze in a rant.

01:07:57 We will get it in like fudge packing a Japanese subway car.

01:08:01 When you donate at freedomain.com/donate,

01:08:06 feel free to let us know here with a question.

01:08:07 Yes, that's a pretty good way to do it too.

01:08:10 So, yeah, promiscuity is one thing and it is one thing only.

01:08:13 Promiscuity is a government program.

01:08:16 Promiscuity is a government program.

01:08:22 Why is there promiscuity?

01:08:24 Because the economic consequences of promiscuity

01:08:29 are erased by the state.

01:08:32 You follow?

01:08:34 The economic consequences of promiscuity

01:08:36 are erased by the state.

01:08:39 So, because we have a gynocentric voting system,

01:08:44 the truth about these things can't really get out.

01:08:47 If the truth is out, right,

01:08:48 if you were kids were taught in school,

01:08:49 yes, you know, the more sexual partners a woman has,

01:08:52 the more likely she is to divorce you,

01:08:54 the more likely she is to be a bad mother,

01:08:56 the more likely she is to break your heart

01:08:58 and steal half your stuff or whatever's gonna happen.

01:09:00 So, yeah, be very aware of body count

01:09:03 because body count is like the laser target

01:09:06 on your forehead, three lasers, forehead, two testicles,

01:09:10 right, and you're gonna, she's gonna pull the trigger

01:09:11 or at least her previous lovers

01:09:12 are gonna pull the trigger.

01:09:14 So, if you knew about that,

01:09:16 then a woman who was promiscuous,

01:09:19 a man would not marry her.

01:09:23 Now, a woman who doesn't get married

01:09:26 is gonna have a very tough time having kids, raising kids.

01:09:29 She had a very tough time saving for her retirement.

01:09:32 This is the old Samuel, Kevin Samuel's line.

01:09:35 It's like, how much do you have to save for retirement?

01:09:36 He said, you need $2 million for retirement.

01:09:38 Women don't have that without a partner, right?

01:09:41 Women have more requirement for healthcare

01:09:47 over the course of their lives.

01:09:47 The plumbing is convoluted and complicated.

01:09:50 And so, yeah, how's she gonna pay all the bills?

01:09:52 How's she gonna raise kids?

01:09:54 How's she gonna retire if no guy's gonna marry her?

01:10:00 So, promiscuity is a government program

01:10:04 because the government steps in

01:10:06 and removes the negative social and economic consequences

01:10:09 and suppresses the knowledge

01:10:12 so that promiscuity is wildly subsidized.

01:10:19 Mind blown.

01:10:22 Yeah, but tell me, does this make sense?

01:10:25 (silence)

01:10:27 Now, that's from the female side.

01:10:34 From the male side, yeah,

01:10:36 forces K's to pay for the R's.

01:10:38 From the male side,

01:10:39 a man who had sex with a woman

01:10:48 in the past before the welfare state,

01:10:50 what happened to the man who had sex with a woman

01:10:52 before the welfare state?

01:10:55 What happened?

01:10:56 And it goes something like this.

01:10:57 (imitates gun cocking)

01:11:00 Shotgun, shotgun.

01:11:01 Yeah, he was called a fornicator.

01:11:03 A shotgun marriage, had to look after the child.

01:11:05 He forced to marry her.

01:11:06 And when I was doing my research on the Wild West,

01:11:09 about a third of the weddings were

01:11:12 because the bride was pregnant, right?

01:11:13 So, you get the girl pregnant,

01:11:14 it's not the end of the world.

01:11:15 You just got to do the right thing and marry her, right?

01:11:18 So, male promiscuity

01:11:24 is another government program

01:11:25 because the government steps in, takes over,

01:11:27 and pays for his pump and dump, right?

01:11:32 Also, also, who pays for treating STDs?

01:11:40 Who pays, in general, on average, for treating STDs?

01:11:43 That's right, the friendly neighborhood government.

01:11:49 Who pays for abortions?

01:11:51 It's the friendly neighborhood government.

01:11:55 So, the government will pay for STDs, abortions,

01:11:59 kids, pregnancy care, health care, braces,

01:12:03 medicines, everything.

01:12:06 So, promiscuity is, yeah, STI checks, circumcision.

01:12:14 Although, when I did the truth about circumcision,

01:12:17 I mean, of course, when people were charged

01:12:19 a couple of hundred bucks for circumcision,

01:12:20 well, they decided not to do it, right?

01:12:24 So, promiscuity, you say, well, is it moral, is it immoral?

01:12:29 It's a shadow cast by the core immorality

01:12:32 of coercive redistribution,

01:12:33 men of the welfare state and so on, right?

01:12:35 So, when I look at promiscuity, I'm just like,

01:12:39 oh, okay, well, that's just a government program, right?

01:12:43 But doesn't government killing babies

01:12:46 mean no future tax base?

01:12:47 (audience laughing)

01:12:51 Doesn't government killing babies mean no future tax base?

01:12:54 Permission to swear?

01:12:57 Permission to swear?

01:13:02 Doesn't the government killing babies

01:13:08 mean no future tax base?

01:13:09 Okay.

01:13:12 What fucking politician cares about 20 years from now?

01:13:17 Are you insane?

01:13:19 Sorry to be annoying.

01:13:20 Are you insane?

01:13:21 What politician cares about 20 years from now?

01:13:23 What do politicians care about?

01:13:24 They care about getting reelected.

01:13:27 They care about getting elected,

01:13:28 and then they care about getting reelected

01:13:30 because apparently somehow,

01:13:31 through the magic sleight of hand of the market,

01:13:32 they could make approximately 10,000 times

01:13:34 their annual salary in about three minutes.

01:13:36 On earth would the government,

01:13:39 so, why is the government, in general, pro-abortion?

01:13:45 (audience murmuring)

01:13:47 In general.

01:13:48 Why?

01:13:56 Voters, okay, let's be a little bit more specific.

01:13:59 All right, what do we got here?

01:14:08 Voters, more productive women in the now,

01:14:10 less troubled calves.

01:14:12 I don't know what that quite means.

01:14:13 Get women into work.

01:14:14 Our selection equals bigger government, false virtue.

01:14:16 They cater to the suffice.

01:14:17 All I can think of is satanic.

01:14:18 Something to do with Moloch.

01:14:20 It's complicated.

01:14:20 Yeah, maybe.

01:14:22 They want dysfunction, killing off the poor.

01:14:24 Short-sighted, desperate left voters.

01:14:30 Keeps people promiscuous.

01:14:35 Culling the herd, Steph.

01:14:41 Immigrants to replace the unborn baby vote.

01:14:44 80-year-old politicians don't care.

01:14:46 All right, let me ask you this.

01:14:53 Let me ask you this.

01:14:54 Have you ever had sex with someone way hotter than you?

01:14:58 And holding up a picture of yourself

01:15:06 when you were younger doesn't count.

01:15:08 Or does it?

01:15:09 (phone ringing)

01:15:12 Yes, all right.

01:15:13 Didn't hear the last part.

01:15:18 Probably for the best.

01:15:19 I'm a 10th.

01:15:21 That's not possible.

01:15:22 Well, you just hold up the mirror

01:15:25 issued by the platonic reflection company and you're set.

01:15:28 How, how did you end up having sex

01:15:36 with a partner way hotter than you?

01:15:39 How did that, how did that come about?

01:15:41 With cash.

01:15:46 Being myself.

01:15:48 All right.

01:15:49 How did this come about?

01:15:51 I'm very eloquent.

01:15:54 Being in a band, I'll do it.

01:15:56 Yeah.

01:15:57 You guys have the best responses on the planet.

01:16:03 Endless searching on the internet and being flirty.

01:16:07 BDE.

01:16:09 Being funny alternative, the gym, lifeguard.

01:16:13 That'll do it.

01:16:14 All right.

01:16:21 Good to know we got a bunch of players in the house

01:16:24 laying on the charm.

01:16:26 You lay on the charm to lay down the pap.

01:16:28 Pap.

01:16:29 I was a model.

01:16:32 Very good.

01:16:33 I was a model, but it was Model T.

01:16:34 So I was kind of boxy.

01:16:36 And you had to start me with a crank.

01:16:38 I kill myself.

01:16:41 Arlo, yeah, yeah, from the book.

01:16:42 Telling them about how I want to end the Federal Reserve.

01:16:48 That's right.

01:16:49 I am the gold standard, baby.

01:16:51 Feel my bar.

01:16:53 All right.

01:16:58 Talked about Ayn Rand.

01:17:01 Yes, well, a great thinker, but not exactly a pinup girl.

01:17:06 Pianist.

01:17:06 That's right.

01:17:09 Can always tickle the soft spots.

01:17:11 Okay, so.

01:17:15 Pro-abortion has a lot to do with...

01:17:21 This would be difficult.

01:17:25 Is a 10 way harder than a nine?

01:17:27 No, I don't think a 10 is way harder than a nine.

01:17:30 I would say just three, right?

01:17:32 I told her I listened to you.

01:17:34 Nice.

01:17:35 Nice.

01:17:36 Do you know how far people will go

01:17:42 to satisfy their kink or their fetish

01:17:45 or what they find really sexy or attractive?

01:17:49 Right, do you know how?

01:17:51 People go pretty far, right?

01:17:54 To satisfy a kink or a fetish

01:17:57 or a significant sexual preference, right?

01:18:02 Let your freak flag fly.

01:18:05 Yeah, people throw away their marriages for that.

01:18:07 People sleep with Chinese spies

01:18:10 and they will do just about anything sometimes

01:18:13 'cause, I mean, is it fair to say

01:18:15 that sexual attraction can sometimes be a form

01:18:17 of demonic possession?

01:18:18 Is that just me?

01:18:19 But no, sexual attraction can be a form

01:18:21 of demonic possession.

01:18:22 You lose your reason and you'll just go

01:18:24 to do just a bit of biological imperative.

01:18:27 Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

01:18:31 So yeah, lust is a deadly sin.

01:18:35 Yeah, I get that.

01:18:36 Now, if women don't have access to abortions,

01:18:44 the welfare state and so on,

01:18:48 then they cannot subsidize who they sleep with

01:18:51 with sexual access.

01:18:52 Are you thinking about Sofia Vergara again?

01:18:56 She is pretty.

01:18:57 Does attraction to girls with nice legs

01:18:59 and a bum count as a fetish?

01:19:01 Well, that's why I said significant

01:19:04 or foundational sexual preference, right?

01:19:07 I don't think it's a fetish, right?

01:19:08 I mean, a fetish generally is something

01:19:10 that is an attraction that doesn't have anything

01:19:13 to do with core reproductive fitness.

01:19:15 I don't know, like feet or something like that, right?

01:19:17 So if a woman doesn't have access

01:19:26 to demonetizing the economic consequences of pregnancy,

01:19:31 then she can't really offer sex as a subsidy

01:19:36 to mount up, so to speak, the sexual hierarchy, right?

01:19:39 You come up with such great definitions on the fly.

01:19:45 I want a staff-tionary.

01:19:46 Nice, nice.

01:19:48 Yeah, she has to attract men with virtue.

01:19:52 She has to attract men who are stable.

01:19:55 And so the pretty boys want all of the subsidization

01:19:59 of promiscuity, and the girls who want to sleep

01:20:04 with men much more attractive than they are,

01:20:08 they also want this subsidization, right?

01:20:13 So if your kink is promiscuity, then as a man,

01:20:16 you want state-subsidized promiscuity.

01:20:19 And if you're, as a woman, you want to sleep

01:20:21 with a guy harder than you could get

01:20:23 if you had to have him commit,

01:20:25 then you also want state subsidization of promiscuity,

01:20:28 and state subsidization of promiscuity

01:20:30 is simply paying for the negative effects of promiscuity.

01:20:32 Does that make sense?

01:20:36 A stethaurus, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:20:39 So yeah, I hope that that makes sense.

01:20:43 But I mean, hit me with a why if you're a guy,

01:20:48 and you've slept with a girl that,

01:20:54 if you had to marry her, you wouldn't sleep with her.

01:20:57 You've slept with a girl, if you had to marry her,

01:21:01 you wouldn't sleep with her.

01:21:02 Yeah, of course.

01:21:03 So she got to sleep with you because she could subsidize

01:21:06 the attraction with sexual access.

01:21:10 Sexual access is one of the ultimate subsidies.

01:21:13 Well, not the guy, the guy who's still a virgin

01:21:16 hasn't done it, but yeah.

01:21:17 So she got to sleep with you because you didn't have

01:21:21 to marry her, and the reason she was able to do that

01:21:23 is because the negative consequences of getting pregnant

01:21:25 are taken care of.

01:21:26 Because she has less risk,

01:21:28 she doesn't need as much commitment.

01:21:30 Now, another, of course, reason why is that the state

01:21:35 is very keen to promote promiscuity

01:21:37 because who is the most reliable voting base for the left?

01:21:42 Like, bar none.

01:21:43 Like, who is the most, like, why does the left exist?

01:21:45 Who is the most reliable voting base for the left?

01:21:49 Yeah, unmarried women, that's right.

01:21:52 Single wahmen.

01:21:53 It's a PewDiePie thing.

01:21:55 Respect wahmen.

01:21:56 So yeah, single women vote for the left

01:21:59 because they are out there, they're kind of prey, right?

01:22:04 So they need the government as a protector.

01:22:06 Yeah, the only group where Biden is up, single women, yeah.

01:22:11 Yeah, so of course, the state has a vested interest,

01:22:16 the growth and power of the state,

01:22:18 they have a vested interest in destroying pair bonding

01:22:22 because if you destroy pair bonding,

01:22:23 then women stay single, which is why they promote,

01:22:25 you know, why you see all this paranoia stuff

01:22:28 in female media, right?

01:22:30 Like, he seemed like a nice guy,

01:22:31 but then he just changed, turned evil, right?

01:22:34 There's this feminism and anti-male patriarchy,

01:22:39 terrorist, fascist stuff.

01:22:42 It's all just relentless,

01:22:43 and it's all designed to train women to fear men

01:22:46 because if they fear men, they love government.

01:22:48 To fear men is to love government.

01:22:50 To fear men is to love government.

01:22:54 So, well, single mothers, yes.

01:22:57 So single women and single mothers,

01:22:58 but single women and single mothers

01:22:59 are a subsection of single women, right?

01:23:01 Married to Uncle Sam.

01:23:07 Yeah, yeah, for sure.

01:23:08 And like everything that you think is free,

01:23:14 you've got to pay for it, right?

01:23:15 So you get to sleep with men who are more attractive

01:23:17 than you could otherwise pull,

01:23:19 and then you, so you get excessive variety in sexuality

01:23:22 as a woman for the first two decades, right?

01:23:26 20 to 40, for the first two decades of your adult life,

01:23:29 you get to sleep with more attractive men

01:23:31 and you have more variety,

01:23:33 and then you become invisible for 50 years, right?

01:23:37 We live in the world of trade-offs and you always pay.

01:23:45 Yes, and of course, the whole point

01:23:46 of this sort of devilish mentality

01:23:49 is to make sure that by the time you pay,

01:23:54 there's no recovery, right?

01:23:55 Well, of course, the one thing

01:24:00 the state can't give you is love.

01:24:02 So you train women to be cynical about love,

01:24:04 and then, or you say that the only thing

01:24:07 that men bring to the table is money,

01:24:10 and it's the state, we can give you that,

01:24:11 and we're more reliable.

01:24:13 We're never gonna leave you, honey.

01:24:15 We're always gonna be there for you.

01:24:16 You can always rely on us.

01:24:17 You can always trust us.

01:24:18 And of course, what this drives,

01:24:22 which is also really tragic as a whole,

01:24:24 what this drives is,

01:24:26 oh my, should I be nice?

01:24:30 Hit me with an N if you'd like to be nice.

01:24:32 Hit me with an N if you'd like me to be nasty.

01:24:34 That way I can just decide on my own.

01:24:37 Nasty.

01:24:40 The tired, dateless, single professional woman

01:24:43 is such a leftist trope.

01:24:45 Well, I mean, stereotypes exist for a reason, right?

01:24:47 Now,

01:24:48 do you think that women as a whole in the modern world,

01:24:54 when it comes to relationships

01:24:56 and taking care of men and the home and so on,

01:24:59 do you think that they're harder working

01:25:01 than their grandmothers

01:25:02 or less hardworking than their grandmothers?

01:25:06 Less by a million, right?

01:25:12 Right, now why have women become lazier as a whole?

01:25:17 I mean, men have, I think, as well,

01:25:19 which we'll sort of get to maybe,

01:25:20 but why have women become lazier?

01:25:23 No, it's not labor-saving devices, no.

01:25:29 I mean, I have labor-saving devices

01:25:30 called the camera and the internet to talk to you guys.

01:25:34 That doesn't mean I'm lazier.

01:25:35 Their nails got longer,

01:25:37 benefits have evolved into entitlements.

01:25:39 (audience member speaking faintly)

01:25:44 Okay, if you win the lottery, are you quitting your job?

01:25:46 Hit me with a why.

01:25:47 If you're winning the lottery, are you quitting your job?

01:25:49 I'm not, but are you quitting the job you have right now

01:25:54 if you win the lottery?

01:25:55 50/50, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no.

01:26:01 Okay, right.

01:26:02 So what were, according to Tony Robbins,

01:26:07 there are no lazy people,

01:26:08 only people without exciting goals.

01:26:10 Yes, giant banana hands man is wrong.

01:26:16 So he, I mean, Tony Robbins as a whole

01:26:20 generally mistakes the world for himself.

01:26:22 He's a very high energy guy.

01:26:23 He's a giant and a good-looking guy

01:26:26 and very physically imposing and so on.

01:26:29 And so, and he's obviously very excited

01:26:31 and excited by life and enthusiastic and so on.

01:26:34 And he thinks everyone's like him.

01:26:36 They just need to be uncorked.

01:26:38 Right.

01:26:39 I see a lot of hardworking women

01:26:41 patronize cafes during working hours.

01:26:44 I don't quite understand what that means.

01:26:46 I'm not sure if that's cynical or not.

01:26:48 Okay, so what did your grandmothers work for?

01:26:50 Why, what did your grandmothers work for?

01:26:52 What did they get up and work for?

01:26:55 I mean, for their families, obviously,

01:26:56 but what were they working for?

01:26:58 Marriage, family, the home.

01:27:06 (laughs)

01:27:08 Cigarette money for my GMA,

01:27:09 for the betterment of their children's society,

01:27:11 community and church, homemaking.

01:27:13 No, none of the above.

01:27:16 They were working for money.

01:27:18 They were working for money.

01:27:21 They were working for money

01:27:26 because the husband would pay them

01:27:28 to take care of the house and the kids.

01:27:30 'Cause if they didn't take care of the house and the kids,

01:27:34 they would get divorced.

01:27:36 Maternal abandonment or whatever it is, right?

01:27:39 So women work for money.

01:27:43 So women won the lottery by having the state

01:27:46 pay them instead of men.

01:27:47 So why on earth would you have skills

01:27:50 if you're never gonna get paid for them?

01:27:53 Why would you develop difficult skills

01:27:55 running a household, managing things?

01:27:57 And why would you develop those skills?

01:27:59 Why would you do that labor if you get paid anyway?

01:28:02 (silence)

01:28:04 They quit their gerbs.

01:28:11 Yeah, they're getting paid.

01:28:14 They don't need to do any housework, they get paid.

01:28:17 They've got the government giving them money.

01:28:19 And the government makes them lazy

01:28:21 because the government doesn't require them

01:28:23 to work for the money.

01:28:25 What do they have to do to get the money from the government?

01:28:28 What do women have to do

01:28:29 to get the money from the government?

01:28:31 (silence)

01:28:33 Yeah, tick a checkbox every couple of years.

01:28:39 Tick a checkbox every couple of years and you get,

01:28:43 do you remember this?

01:28:44 I did this show years ago on the welfare state.

01:28:48 And this is some years ago,

01:28:49 but I'm sure it's even worse now.

01:28:50 So what does a woman with two children,

01:28:55 how much money would she have to earn

01:28:57 to match the benefits she gets from the government?

01:29:00 (silence)

01:29:03 It's about $80,000 US.

01:29:07 Now this was a couple of years ago,

01:29:08 it's way north of a hundred thousand now.

01:29:10 So a woman would have to work to get a hundred thousand

01:29:13 dollars of income to be equivalent

01:29:17 to what the government gives her for free.

01:29:19 Well, to put it another way,

01:29:23 if a woman gets a job up to a hundred thousand dollars,

01:29:28 she's taxed a hundred percent.

01:29:31 She's taxed 100%.

01:29:34 It's called the welfare cliff, right?

01:29:35 Like if you cut back, if you work, you're taxed at a hundred percent.

01:29:39 And she doesn't have to pay tax on the government payment.

01:29:41 No, I get all of that sort of including that, right?

01:29:44 Including that.

01:29:45 So she would have to make well north of a hundred thousand dollars.

01:29:48 She would have to receive a hundred thousand dollars

01:29:53 or her husband would have to make a hundred thousand dollars

01:29:57 and give everything to her

01:29:59 or her husband would have to make $200,000

01:30:01 and give half to her, right?

01:30:02 So her husband would have to make $200,000,

01:30:04 give half of it to her for her to get what she gets

01:30:06 from the government.

01:30:06 Does that make sense?

01:30:07 Now, it gets even worse than that.

01:30:12 Now, if you have, give me some categories of jobs

01:30:16 that pay $200,000 or a quarter million dollars.

01:30:20 Give me categories of jobs that pay that much money.

01:30:24 A lawyer, absolutely, for sure.

01:30:27 Probably a GP, engineering.

01:30:29 Eh, it's high for engineer.

01:30:30 Stockbroker, yeah.

01:30:31 Software project manager, not 250, not 200, 250.

01:30:35 Dentist, probably maybe even a little higher.

01:30:36 Surgeon is higher.

01:30:38 A plumber could be for sure.

01:30:39 Construction manager, probably a little lower.

01:30:42 A plant manager, no, not two to 250.

01:30:47 No, that's too high.

01:30:48 YouTuber, yeah, maybe.

01:30:49 But with YouTuber, it's the Pareto principle, right?

01:30:51 Like 95% of the money goes to 5% of the people.

01:30:55 A DEI officer, yeah, maybe.

01:30:56 C-level in big corporate jobs, yeah.

01:30:58 But with stock options and bonuses,

01:30:59 you probably get more than that.

01:31:01 Top only fans, oh, no, top only fans

01:31:03 is more than that, I think.

01:31:05 Congressman, I think they get 180 or something like that.

01:31:08 Chief technical officer, yeah.

01:31:10 So, she would have to have a guy make

01:31:14 two to $250,000 a year and give her half

01:31:17 in order to have enough money to spend

01:31:19 as she gets from the government.

01:31:22 Now, a guy, let's say, we're talking lawyer, right?

01:31:28 So, a guy who's a lawyer is gonna have a big house,

01:31:32 he's gonna have two cars, he's gonna have

01:31:34 complicated taxes and so on, right?

01:31:36 And he's gonna want his wife probably to stay home

01:31:39 because a guy who's successful wants to transfer

01:31:41 those values to his kids, so he wants someone

01:31:43 to raise his kids other than sort of anonymous strangers.

01:31:47 So, how much work is she gonna have to do

01:31:50 to run the household of a lawyer?

01:31:52 Well, she's gonna obviously run the household,

01:31:54 she's gonna pay the bills, she's gonna set up the,

01:31:56 she's gonna manage probably some of the tax stuff,

01:31:58 she's gonna have to raise the kids,

01:31:59 and he's gonna have professional engagements,

01:32:01 he might have travel, so she's gonna have to work

01:32:03 that much harder when he's away.

01:32:05 There's gonna be cocktail parties,

01:32:06 there's gonna be corporate dinners,

01:32:07 she's going to have to be part of a country club,

01:32:11 she's also gonna wanna have to probably play sports

01:32:13 with her husband and his friends so that he's high status.

01:32:16 Oh, a Christmas car is absolutely right.

01:32:18 And she's gonna also have to take care of aging parents

01:32:22 over time and so on, right?

01:32:23 No welfare estate, no welfare estate, right?

01:32:26 So, she's gonna have to learn how to play golf, maybe,

01:32:31 maybe, the golf might be a bit of a guy's thing,

01:32:34 like fishing or whatever, right?

01:32:35 But she's gonna have to do a lot of work,

01:32:37 she's gonna have to do a lot of work.

01:32:39 If her husband is a professional, as he probably is,

01:32:43 she's gonna have to do a lot of work.

01:32:45 So, the woman who's a stay at home mom with two kids

01:32:48 and she's on the welfare estate,

01:32:50 she has to do 5% of the work

01:32:53 that she'd have to do otherwise.

01:32:55 So, even if someone were to say to her,

01:32:57 oh, look, man, you can get a guy who's $300,000,

01:33:01 $400,000, make a lot of money,

01:33:02 she'd be like, yeah, but I have to work like 10 times harder.

01:33:05 So, no, I'm already getting 100K.

01:33:10 Let's say I've got a husband who's 300K,

01:33:14 so I get an extra 50K,

01:33:15 but I have 10 times the work for an extra 50K.

01:33:19 No, thank you, that's the law of diminishing returns, right?

01:33:22 The amount of money, like zero to $10

01:33:24 is the difference between life and death.

01:33:25 The difference between 100,000 and $100,000 and $10

01:33:28 is virtually negligible.

01:33:29 A pickleball, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:33:33 Ah, that's why women want men who make a million a year.

01:33:42 Yes, so people say like, oh my gosh,

01:33:44 I can't believe how exaggerated women's expectations are

01:33:47 of male income, and it's like, well, yeah,

01:33:49 because you're competing with the welfare estate.

01:33:53 Wow, this really explains why women aren't getting married.

01:33:56 I thought it was mainly because they didn't want

01:33:57 the burden of pregnancy, childbirth,

01:33:59 but the financial incentive here is insane.

01:34:01 It is insane.

01:34:02 Of course it is.

01:34:04 Solitude, solitude is a government program.

01:34:09 Promiscuity leads to solitude, may lead to solitary.

01:34:12 So, solitude is a government program,

01:34:21 because women get so much money from the state

01:34:25 that a man has to offer insane things to lure her away

01:34:30 from big, statey titty, right?

01:34:35 Right?

01:34:42 So imagine, I want you to imagine this.

01:34:44 For guys, it's really, really important to understand

01:34:46 what you're competing with.

01:34:47 Now, you can still win, but you gotta up your game,

01:34:50 so what are you competing with?

01:34:52 Oh, you know, this stuff is great, right?

01:34:54 It's really helpful to you guys.

01:34:55 If you could tip, I would really, really appreciate it.

01:34:57 Yeah, the women, they don't need no man, no.

01:34:59 They don't need a man, they just need taxpayers.

01:35:02 Isn't welfare for lower quality, trashy women?

01:35:06 (laughs)

01:35:08 Have you never heard of corporate welfare?

01:35:11 Okay, so I want you to think about this, guys,

01:35:16 so you understand where women are coming from.

01:35:19 (audience laughs)

01:35:22 I want you to think that you have

01:35:24 an inheritance, an annuity, that pays you

01:35:29 $110,000 a year on the condition

01:35:35 you don't get married to or live with a woman.

01:35:37 You get $100,000 a year, $110,000 a year,

01:35:42 but you can't live with or get married to a woman.

01:35:46 (audience laughs)

01:35:49 How incredible would the woman have to be

01:35:53 for you to give that up?

01:35:54 No, you can't work.

01:35:56 You can't work.

01:35:58 If you work, your wages are deducted from that money.

01:36:01 So you get $110,000 a year, but you can't,

01:36:06 you can't work, you can't get married,

01:36:10 and you can't live with a woman.

01:36:12 What would you do?

01:36:14 Well, you'd sleep around, obviously.

01:36:16 Would you get married?

01:36:19 What kind of woman would she have to be

01:36:20 for you to give up $100,000, $110,000 a year

01:36:24 and have to get a job?

01:36:25 The new Mrs. USA.

01:36:30 She'd have to work and have her own place.

01:36:36 She'd have to be wealthy enough, right,

01:36:38 that you wouldn't necessarily miss the $110,000 a year

01:36:43 and you would even be willing to go to work.

01:36:46 That's a good thought experiment.

01:36:54 She'd be a saint or self-destructive.

01:36:56 This would be really, that would make it really hard

01:36:59 for me to accept a lower quality of living.

01:37:01 Right.

01:37:02 See, we look at the welfare and we say,

01:37:04 oh my gosh, that's so terrible, blah, blah, blah,

01:37:05 but it's an incredibly high quality of living,

01:37:08 and it's harshest on the lowest classes, right?

01:37:12 It's harshest on the lowest classes.

01:37:13 Do you know why?

01:37:14 Because the lower classes ain't gonna get a guy

01:37:19 who can make a quarter million dollars a year.

01:37:23 It's not gonna happen.

01:37:26 'Cause the guy who makes a quarter million dollars a year

01:37:28 wants a higher class, higher quality, blah, blah, blah wife.

01:37:31 A higher caste, higher class, whatever, higher system wife.

01:37:34 So it's completely shutting out.

01:37:37 I mean, why do you think the men are all on fentanyl?

01:37:42 Because no one will marry them.

01:37:44 'Cause they can't compete with the states.

01:37:47 And this is why women are not raised.

01:38:00 Like you know birth control is a dime, right?

01:38:04 10 cents for birth control, do you know how that works?

01:38:08 (audience mumbling)

01:38:11 No, it's 10 cents, birth control is a dime.

01:38:18 Yeah, you put a dime between your needs and keep it there.

01:38:20 The whole rich man will marry a waitress is bullshit.

01:38:26 Wealthy men would marry a woman roughly

01:38:27 in their own social class, of course they would.

01:38:30 Of course they would.

01:38:31 A rich man will marry a waitress.

01:38:35 A rich man will sleep with a waitress.

01:38:37 So do you know why the Cinderella story

01:38:40 of the rich man marrying the waitress,

01:38:42 do you know why that exists?

01:38:43 Do you know why that exists?

01:38:48 Why does it exist?

01:38:52 Why does this constant Cinderella story exist?

01:38:54 So women don't get married.

01:39:05 Yeah, women don't settle, then they need the government,

01:39:07 then they vote for the left.

01:39:09 Oh no, you don't settle, girl, you hold out

01:39:12 for that multi-millionaire, rock-hard, abbed guy.

01:39:15 He's coming, he's coming, he's coming,

01:39:18 you just manifest and he's gonna come

01:39:20 and he's gonna be your person.

01:39:22 You raise people expectations to the point

01:39:26 where you paralyze their potential.

01:39:28 It never feels like enough.

01:39:33 That's why the state didn't really have any problem

01:39:38 with Russell Brand's promiscuity or the media

01:39:41 or anything like that.

01:39:42 Chemistry, Prince Charming who's not allowed

01:39:49 to save Snow White anymore.

01:39:50 Even to find a man who was respectful,

01:39:54 hardworking and honest is a challenge.

01:39:55 Because men work for women,

01:39:59 but women are owned by the state.

01:40:02 Why would a man give up video games

01:40:07 and online imagery, let's say, to work for a woman?

01:40:12 Women are owned by the state.

01:40:15 Thank you, Steph, it's all coming together now.

01:40:18 This is high-level thinking.

01:40:19 You can't find this anywhere else, you're right.

01:40:22 Yeah, why would you not take drugs?

01:40:24 Why would you not play video games?

01:40:26 Why would you not, right?

01:40:28 (audience member mumbling)

01:40:32 You can't get a woman 'cause the women are all...

01:40:34 Like, you know the problem with the harem, right?

01:40:38 The problem with the harem is that the prince

01:40:41 gets the highest quality women, most of the women,

01:40:44 and then there's a mismatch of males to females,

01:40:49 and that creates a destabilizing force in society

01:40:52 of men who don't settle down and get married.

01:40:54 Now, do you understand the biggest harem

01:40:58 in the world is what?

01:41:01 The state, that's right.

01:41:07 The state is the biggest harem in the world

01:41:09 because the state forces mostly men to support mostly women.

01:41:16 Great points, Steph, my family is lower class,

01:41:23 many dependent on the welfare state, multiple baby daddies,

01:41:25 the point of lower class men

01:41:26 being significantly outclassed makes so much sense.

01:41:29 Yeah, for sure.

01:41:30 So many guys out there being cucked by state chatting.

01:41:33 Yeah, yeah, and listen, we can get mad,

01:41:36 but people respond to incentives,

01:41:38 and pretending otherwise is usually,

01:41:40 it's kind of a bad idea

01:41:43 to wish people didn't respond to incentives.

01:41:45 If people didn't respond to incentives,

01:41:46 then maybe socialism would work.

01:41:47 I guess you still got the calculation problem,

01:41:49 but at least the motivation, right?

01:41:53 Yeah, harems are absolutely the product of violence.

01:41:57 Yeah, you're absolutely correct about that.

01:41:59 That's a great point.

01:41:59 Thank you for mentioning it, it's a great point.

01:42:02 Thank you, Steph, for sharing your wisdom.

01:42:09 Oh, David, that's very kind.

01:42:09 I really appreciate that, thank you.

01:42:11 Even Mises married a single mom.

01:42:14 Didn't Joe Rogan?

01:42:14 I think he married a single mom, too.

01:42:17 Or she was a cocktail waitress, wasn't she?

01:42:18 So maybe it happens, I guess.

01:42:20 Maybe it happens.

01:42:22 (audience member whistling)

01:42:25 Steph can't resist.

01:42:27 Just seemed relevant.

01:42:28 That's why your Me Plus comment

01:42:33 pissed off the little thumb.

01:42:35 Maybe, maybe.

01:42:36 In a way, censorship algorithms on social media

01:42:41 isolated Ks from Ks because all the content has R appeal.

01:42:46 I think that's true.

01:42:47 I think that's true.

01:42:49 Women are drawn to providers and are loyal to providers.

01:42:53 And what happens, of course,

01:42:56 is that if you have the state as the provider,

01:42:58 women make bad decisions which are irreversible.

01:43:00 Now, once you can get people to make bad decisions

01:43:04 that are irreversible, they will defend those decisions

01:43:07 halfway to the death.

01:43:08 I mean, why do you think libertarianism

01:43:15 is such a sausage fest?

01:43:17 Because men are trying to fight free of the state

01:43:20 and women are trying to hang on to it, a lot of them,

01:43:21 because they've made the kind of decisions that,

01:43:23 once you've had three kids by three different guys

01:43:26 or just three kids by some guy who's not around anymore,

01:43:29 can you afford to muck around with the welfare state?

01:43:34 Can you afford to muck around with alimony

01:43:37 and child support and socialized medicine

01:43:41 and old age pensions?

01:43:42 You can't afford, it's not,

01:43:45 this is why I said the age of reason is past,

01:43:47 because so many people have been snared up

01:43:49 in this coercive redistribution of stuff

01:43:53 that they can't think clearly or rationally or objectively.

01:43:56 The conflict of interest is way too high.

01:43:58 What have we got?

01:44:00 Ah, but I got a PowerPoint.

01:44:02 I got a PowerPoint so you should give up $100,000 a year

01:44:07 and replace it with what?

01:44:09 No choice anymore, now it's just survival.

01:44:13 Now it's just survival.

01:44:15 (silence)

01:44:17 The state made women into their chattel.

01:44:23 Oh, women have agency,

01:44:26 but again, it's just response to incentives.

01:44:28 Can you talk about the philosophy

01:44:29 of workplace relationships?

01:44:31 I install HVAC equipment with a four divorced,

01:44:33 12 abandoned children felon.

01:44:35 See, these seem like two separate questions.

01:44:40 One is abstract, the other is run!

01:44:43 (laughter)

01:44:44 So as far as the abstract one,

01:44:46 yeah, you can have workplace relationships,

01:44:48 doesn't violate the non-aggression principle.

01:44:50 As a result of the second, run!

01:44:52 One of the strongest form of determinism

01:44:56 is a mother's loyalty to her children.

01:44:57 What?

01:45:02 One of the strongest forms of determinism

01:45:04 is a mother's loyalty to her children.

01:45:06 I don't understand that at all.

01:45:09 What do you mean mother's loyalty to their children?

01:45:13 One of the, determination,

01:45:15 one of the strongest forms of determination

01:45:18 is a mother's loyalty to her children.

01:45:20 Okay, sorry, thank you for the correction.

01:45:22 I'm still not sure what that means.

01:45:23 Determination, you mean grit and willpower?

01:45:26 Is a mother's loyalty to her children.

01:45:28 She's determined to ensure their safety.

01:45:31 Why do you think that?

01:45:34 Why do you think that women are determined

01:45:39 to ensure the safety of their children?

01:45:42 (silence)

01:45:44 I mean,

01:45:47 there's abortion.

01:45:50 Do you know that

01:45:56 a non-related male in the house of a woman with children,

01:46:02 who's not related to the children,

01:46:04 that the levels of abuse are over 30 times higher

01:46:08 than if the father was there?

01:46:10 (silence)

01:46:12 There's daycare.

01:46:13 Well, no, exceptions, Lucy Letby, Andrea Gates,

01:46:18 those are exceptions,

01:46:18 so we can't judge women by that as a whole.

01:46:22 There's government schools.

01:46:23 Do you know that women will often put their kids

01:46:25 on mind-altering drugs for an extra couple of hundred dollars

01:46:28 a month because it gives them a disability payments?

01:46:30 Yeah, immediately cutting out genitals 30 seconds into life.

01:46:38 I mean, do you know how many,

01:46:39 I know this is not statistical, it's not an average,

01:46:42 but do you know how many people I've talked to

01:46:43 over the years who've tried to tell their own mothers

01:46:47 the simple truth about basic moral realities and histories?

01:46:50 Do the women listen?

01:46:52 Or would the women rather pursue delusion

01:46:55 at the expense of their relationships

01:46:57 with their adult children?

01:46:58 Yeah, they have kids with shitty or absent fathers.

01:47:03 Also, if women really cared about their children,

01:47:07 wouldn't they be marching about the national debt?

01:47:09 Wouldn't they be?

01:47:11 I mean, do you know children are born

01:47:12 in like a million dollars of financial slavery,

01:47:15 which is more money than they're probably gonna make

01:47:16 their entire life?

01:47:17 But you go to women and you say,

01:47:25 "We gotta pay off the national debt.

01:47:26 "You're gonna have to make sacrifices.

01:47:28 "We gotta pay off the national debt."

01:47:31 Your children are born slaves to foreign banksters.

01:47:35 You gotta make sacrifices for your kids.

01:47:37 Your kids' future means something.

01:47:38 We gotta pay off the national debt

01:47:39 so you're gonna have to take fewer subsidies.

01:47:42 What would the women do?

01:47:44 If they have to choose between their own immediate comfort

01:47:46 and the future success of their children.

01:47:49 We know what women would do.

01:47:50 We know.

01:47:54 Please tell me more about the bonding.

01:48:03 Do you know the number of women who make allegations,

01:48:05 false allegations against a husband

01:48:08 during divorce proceedings,

01:48:09 false allegations of child abuse or worse?

01:48:11 It's high.

01:48:17 It's high.

01:48:17 Go ask, and there's exceptions, of course.

01:48:25 Go ask the average modern woman,

01:48:27 and we'll talk about men in a sec.

01:48:28 Oh yeah, average women are much less likely

01:48:31 to vote for socialism.

01:48:32 Of course.

01:48:33 I mean, that's just self-interest, right?

01:48:35 Because if they vote for socialism,

01:48:36 their husbands lose income, so their family lose income.

01:48:39 Whereas single women, if they vote for socialism,

01:48:41 they'll get more income, right?

01:48:42 You think that the women are so bonded to the kids.

01:49:00 Well, if the women are so bonded to the kids,

01:49:01 I'm sure that they would never badmouth

01:49:03 the husband or the father, never.

01:49:07 Even if there's a divorce, they would never,

01:49:09 because that's really bad for their kids.

01:49:10 They would never indulge in badmouthing of the father,

01:49:14 because that's really bad for the kids, right?

01:49:16 They would never do that, right?

01:49:18 (silence)

01:49:20 I mean, women who care for their children

01:49:35 would really work to make sure that their sons

01:49:37 and their daughters are attractive

01:49:39 to the opposite sex, right?

01:49:40 I agree, my parents split, and it was bad,

01:49:47 but my mom never badmouthed my dad to me,

01:49:50 and it made a big difference to my self-esteem.

01:49:51 Great, I'm not saying, of course, this is not all women.

01:49:54 You go to the average woman these days,

01:50:01 and you say, "You have to make sacrifices

01:50:05 "for the good of your children."

01:50:06 What's she gonna say?

01:50:17 Now, if you go to the average man,

01:50:18 and you say, "You have to make sacrifices

01:50:20 "for the good of society,"

01:50:21 what's the average man gonna say?

01:50:22 ♪ Let it burn ♪

01:50:26 Right, what's the average man gonna say?

01:50:28 Nope, I'm not interested in saving this circus.

01:50:46 My wife's mother constantly badmouthed my wife's father

01:50:48 as she was growing up,

01:50:49 and it still does it 20 years after their divorce.

01:50:50 Yeah, I mean, it's objectively bad for the kids.

01:50:52 They do it anyway.

01:50:53 Go to the average career woman and say,

01:50:57 "You know, your kid will be healthier and happier

01:51:00 "if you don't work and stay home with your baby," right?

01:51:04 What's she gonna say?

01:51:09 It's not fulfilling to me.

01:51:14 I need work to feel validated and important.

01:51:16 Yeah, Cassie.

01:51:21 Yeah, Cassie?

01:51:23 Cassie was a pretty good woman in my novel, "The Present."

01:51:26 Yeah, they accuse you of trying to oppress them.

01:51:29 So yeah, listen, I think that throughout history,

01:51:31 it's quite true that a lot of women

01:51:33 have made immense sacrifices for their children,

01:51:35 including getting pregnant.

01:51:37 So this is nothing against female nature,

01:51:39 but the modern system has such perverse incentives

01:51:43 that you tell me,

01:51:44 and there are women who make sacrifices for their kids.

01:51:46 There are wonderful women who homeschool their kids

01:51:49 and take great care of their kids

01:51:50 and are really there for them and love them and all of that.

01:51:54 I mean, I'm married to a wonderful woman,

01:51:56 so this is not about, as a whole, as a whole,

01:52:00 go to women and say, "The system is bad.

01:52:03 "It's harming your children.

01:52:05 "You need to homeschool.

01:52:06 "You need to stay home with them.

01:52:07 "You need to get a good man into their lives.

01:52:09 "You need to cut back on the benefits,

01:52:11 "and you need to cut back on socialized healthcare

01:52:13 "because it's too expensive and your kids are born in debt."

01:52:15 And what are they gonna say?

01:52:16 What are they gonna say?

01:52:21 Look what they injected.

01:52:34 I was on a train from work not too long ago.

01:52:42 So someone and a young girl about six years old

01:52:44 was crying because her mother was going abroad.

01:52:47 She told her mother that she didn't want her mother

01:52:48 to go to Poland, and the mother's response was,

01:52:50 "I'm sorry, darling.

01:52:51 "I have a show."

01:52:52 Whew, yeah, that's rough.

01:52:57 That's rough.

01:52:58 When I quit to come home from my family,

01:53:06 all the ladies at my work commented,

01:53:07 "Where do I find a guy like that?"

01:53:09 Yeah.

01:53:13 Yeah.

01:53:13 Well, to get quality, you have to be quality, right?

01:53:17 How many women, you say,

01:53:26 "Oh, women care so much for their kids."

01:53:27 Okay, how many women organize their lives

01:53:30 and do research and find out the facts

01:53:32 and organize their lives about that

01:53:34 which is objectively the best for their children?

01:53:37 (audience member mumbles)

01:53:40 30%, you guess?

01:53:45 About 1%, I don't think it's that low.

01:53:48 0.05%, don't think it's that low.

01:53:50 But it's certainly not the norm.

01:53:53 Somebody says, "Isn't it that manufacturing

01:53:57 "has been almost entirely outsourced

01:53:58 "and all that's left are menial, meaningless,

01:54:00 "mundane jobs to do with distributing consumer goods

01:54:02 "and bookkeeping?

01:54:03 "Pretty depressing outlook doing that."

01:54:06 Do you know why manufacturing,

01:54:08 okay, there's lots of reasons,

01:54:09 but do you know one of the main unspoken reasons

01:54:12 as to why manufacturing,

01:54:14 this is back to the earlier question about Australia,

01:54:16 why has so much manufacturing gone overseas?

01:54:19 Because the women are married to the state,

01:54:22 so the men don't work hard,

01:54:23 so it's tough to find good, reliable, consistent workers.

01:54:27 Yeah, there's taxes and regulations and unionization,

01:54:30 I get all of that.

01:54:32 I get all of that.

01:54:33 But you can be an entrepreneur and create stuff, right?

01:54:37 The women are married to the state,

01:54:42 so the men can't pair bond,

01:54:45 so the men have nothing to work for.

01:54:47 What do we work for as men?

01:54:48 We work for our families.

01:54:49 We work for our families.

01:54:52 90% of a married man's income goes to his family.

01:54:56 We work for our families.

01:54:58 That's what we work for.

01:55:00 If you can get women to marry the state,

01:55:02 they don't marry the men,

01:55:03 the men don't develop a work ethic,

01:55:05 they fritter away,

01:55:06 they're eternal adolescents,

01:55:08 they do drugs, they play video games,

01:55:10 they masturbate, they don't grow up.

01:55:14 For what?

01:55:15 100%, I was a manager in manufacturing,

01:55:19 half my job was holding job fairs to try and keep folks.

01:55:22 Yes.

01:55:22 The hardest worker is a married male with kids.

01:55:25 Yes.

01:55:26 Say, stay single and you can live on almost nothing.

01:55:29 Yeah.

01:55:31 When I was a single guy in university,

01:55:32 I could live on $600 a month.

01:55:34 If you've ever tried to hire people,

01:55:41 finding dedicated, hardworking,

01:55:43 consistent, responsible people is a needle in a haystack.

01:55:47 Because people want cheap, guilt-free stuff.

01:55:52 If all those cheap goods were labeled,

01:55:54 this garment was produced by a low-paid worker

01:55:56 in unsafe working conditions,

01:55:57 people would probably shop local more often.

01:55:59 I doubt it.

01:56:01 I doubt it.

01:56:01 Being single with no responsibility is an addiction.

01:56:05 Yeah, for sure.

01:56:06 For sure.

01:56:09 But the great shift of jobs over to China

01:56:12 and such countries didn't happen

01:56:13 because of the poor fellow back at home.

01:56:15 I don't know what that means.

01:56:17 But the welfare state came in in the '60s

01:56:19 and demanufacturing started in the '70s.

01:56:22 You understand, it's causal.

01:56:23 Somebody says, I only worked 18 hours a week

01:56:28 until recently as a single man child.

01:56:30 Yeah.

01:56:31 And I say this, do you know how many journey emails I get,

01:56:33 call-and-show requests I get from people,

01:56:35 men in their 20s who are like,

01:56:37 my life's passing me by, I'm not doing anything,

01:56:39 I'm not getting anywhere, I'm not building,

01:56:41 I'm not growing.

01:56:41 How many, this is like 60 to 70% of my emails

01:56:47 for call-and-shows.

01:56:48 Now, if they were married,

01:56:53 they wouldn't be asking those questions.

01:56:55 Steph, this is why I used to be MGTOW

01:56:57 until I saw the video you did on MGTOW

01:56:59 saying how great women are still out there.

01:57:01 Yeah, of course.

01:57:02 Of course.

01:57:03 Now, I'm not blaming women for this.

01:57:10 Somebody offers you $100,000, you take it.

01:57:14 I mean, you may not be the most avid or ardent statist

01:57:17 in the known universe,

01:57:18 but if you won the lottery, wouldn't you cash it?

01:57:21 Oh, I'll do all this good.

01:57:22 I'll do all this good with the money.

01:57:24 Your home ownership is becoming impossible

01:57:29 and incentives are drying up, people are losing hope.

01:57:31 You've got to be strong to keep faith

01:57:33 in doing the right thing

01:57:33 even though a reward is not promised, yeah.

01:57:36 Women voting for the state.

01:57:37 You understand women are trained by the state

01:57:43 to view the state as moral,

01:57:44 so voting for the state is voting to expand morality.

01:57:47 But the people had no choice in the matter

01:57:50 when jobs were sent to China, absolutely no choice.

01:57:53 No, that's not true.

01:57:54 That's not true.

01:57:56 Is that the 100K before tax equivalent

01:57:58 that they get from the state?

01:57:59 So, do you know how much,

01:58:05 like you need, $2 million at 5% will give you $100,000.

01:58:10 $2 million at 5% will give you $100,000.

01:58:13 And do you know when you win the lottery,

01:58:14 they'll either give you one fixed thing

01:58:16 or they'll give you a payout over years, right?

01:58:19 I remember there was a song,

01:58:21 when I was a kid,

01:58:21 ♪ A thousand a month sure is grand ♪

01:58:23 ♪ You're on the way with a helping hand, right ♪

01:58:25 Thousand a month, man, you get a thousand bucks a month.

01:58:27 That was all the money in the world back then.

01:58:29 So, the government gives women

01:58:34 the equivalent of $2 million in the bank.

01:58:36 Every woman has a vagina-based fertility lottery ticket

01:58:41 for $2 million.

01:58:41 And they don't know that it's wrong,

01:58:46 they're not trained that it's wrong.

01:58:48 It's helping people, it's charity, it's welfare.

01:58:54 You want people to fare well, don't you?

01:58:56 So, do you understand?

01:58:57 How can a man, a young man, compete with some guy

01:59:01 saying, "Here's $2 million," for nothing?

01:59:04 Do you follow?

01:59:06 We're giving you $2 million,

01:59:18 just vote for the state.

01:59:23 And they say it's illegal to bribe a politician.

01:59:25 Well, it is, but...

01:59:27 Here's $2 million.

01:59:30 How many people, you dangle $2 million in front of them,

01:59:32 how many people are gonna say no?

01:59:34 It's a question, right?

01:59:35 How many people are gonna say no to $2 million?

01:59:37 Who need it?

01:59:42 Billionaires wouldn't say no to $2 million.

01:59:48 Before or after tax?

01:59:52 Well, no, it's $2 million, no tax,

01:59:56 and you invest it, you get 5% a year,

02:00:00 and so you get your 100K, right?

02:00:02 I would, I learned the hard way

02:00:05 that free money can really mess you up.

02:00:07 Yeah, of course it does, right?

02:00:08 It does, it shreds you.

02:00:10 Instant retirement, you understand?

02:00:12 That's what the welfare state is, is instant retirement.

02:00:16 Imagine the state promising men a couple of gorgeous women

02:00:19 at their beck and call, then return for voting for them.

02:00:22 What do you mean, imagine?

02:00:23 That's exactly what happens.

02:00:26 That's exactly what I said earlier.

02:00:29 Attractive men, the welfare state subsidizes

02:00:32 their sex addictions, their promiscuity.

02:00:34 Yeah, violence destroys.

02:00:42 And the slower it destroys, the worse it is, right?

02:00:45 After 20 years, after Australian politicians

02:00:50 signed onto the Lima Declaration in 1975,

02:00:52 Australians had lost over 50% of its manufacturing.

02:00:55 How did the people choose that?

02:00:56 We weren't given a choice, it was done to us.

02:00:58 No, it wasn't done to you.

02:01:00 It was not done to you.

02:01:03 It wasn't done to you.

02:01:07 It wasn't done to you.

02:01:13 Australians, like everybody else, wanted free stuff.

02:01:24 You were bought and paid for.

02:01:26 You were seduced by free stuff and you took it.

02:01:28 Now, if you had said to people,

02:01:32 and if you'd said to people,

02:01:34 I don't have people in my life who are pro-statist,

02:01:37 if you'd said to people, no,

02:01:39 if you want state coercive redistribution and stuff,

02:01:42 if enough people had said that, it wouldn't happen.

02:01:45 You know, when socialists in the 1970s, yeah.

02:01:48 I mean, I understand it's a big temptation

02:01:49 and I'm not saying that there's no responsibility

02:01:52 on the part of the politicians.

02:01:53 I'm not saying it's 100% the people,

02:01:55 but politicians in general wanna get reelected.

02:01:58 And if you keep reelecting people to do that,

02:02:01 that's what's gonna happen.

02:02:03 It's, oh, well, we didn't.

02:02:04 Now, I mean, there is a cycle

02:02:14 and I have sympathy for the people, I really do.

02:02:16 I really have sympathy for the people as a whole.

02:02:17 They're indoctrinated, this, that, and the other.

02:02:20 And I certainly have more sympathy

02:02:21 for the people in the '70s, but right now,

02:02:24 the answers to the problems of the world are a click away.

02:02:27 It's just a click away, right there, right there, right?

02:02:30 All right, let's do one more question.

02:02:33 I have a question I feel vulnerable asking.

02:02:35 What is it called when our memory of an object

02:02:38 matches the physical object?

02:02:40 I tried to look up your old Intro to Philosophy courses

02:02:42 wherein you define reality, but I couldn't find them.

02:02:44 What is it called when our memory of an object

02:02:47 matches the physical object?

02:02:49 Oh, it's an accurate memory, isn't that accuracy?

02:02:51 That's what it's called, it's called accuracy.

02:02:54 I don't know why you'd be vulnerable asking that.

02:02:57 Theory of recollection, I don't know what that means.

02:03:01 When our memory of an object matches the physical object.

02:03:12 It's an accurate recollection.

02:03:13 It's a, I guess, close to one-to-one correlation

02:03:17 between the image in the mind and the object in the world.

02:03:20 (audience member speaking faintly)

02:03:24 The idea that every concept must be tied

02:03:29 to a physical thing, so government doesn't.

02:03:31 Yeah, government is a concept, right?

02:03:33 Government is a relationship, it's a concept.

02:03:34 Government is a belief in the ethics of coercion, right?

02:03:38 The virtue of coercion.

02:03:39 No, like, so when I went to go and speak in Australia,

02:03:45 the Australian press was kind of hysterical

02:03:47 and whipping up all kinds of aggression

02:03:49 and frenzy against me, and people were buying all of that,

02:03:51 and they were repeating it, and they funded it,

02:03:53 and they gave money to the advertisers,

02:03:55 and they didn't boycott, and so it's like, yeah.

02:03:57 What future event would stop this incentive?

02:04:03 Well, moral accuracy and peaceful parenting, right?

02:04:05 UPP and peaceful parenting.

02:04:07 Peaceful parenting is a subset of UPP.

02:04:09 Yeah, moral accuracy and peaceful parenting.

02:04:11 Beginning of wisdom is the saying goes

02:04:12 is to call things by their proper names.

02:04:16 No, the internet has taken away any defense of ignorance.

02:04:21 Oh, I didn't know, it's like, no, no, no.

02:04:23 If you know the facts and you don't share the facts,

02:04:26 if you know the truth and you don't share the truth,

02:04:28 if you know the virtue and you hide the virtue

02:04:30 from people out of fear of blowback,

02:04:31 you're part of the problem,

02:04:32 and you're withholding morality from people,

02:04:35 and you're really kind of the worst,

02:04:37 one of the worst parts of the problem.

02:04:39 The fact that we can have this conversation,

02:04:41 you can share this conversation,

02:04:43 means that people have no excuse for ignorance, right?

02:04:46 Rational ignorance, democracy equals death spiral.

02:04:50 Your average person can't follow enough

02:04:51 to maintain accountability at a national level.

02:04:53 I don't see a way out once the premise has been accepted.

02:04:56 No, I get all of that.

02:04:56 I understand that there's dominoes and so on.

02:04:58 I get all of that, but individuals are, you know,

02:05:01 people say, oh, but Steph has a bad reputation.

02:05:03 It's like, huh, interesting.

02:05:04 So can you ever think of anyone throughout history

02:05:07 who's ever been morally right and been smeared?

02:05:10 Anyone, anyone in history that you've ever heard of

02:05:13 who was right, but attacked and smeared?

02:05:16 I just wonder if you can think of anybody,

02:05:18 anybody throughout history.

02:05:19 Well, McCarthy, people still don't know how right he was.

02:05:24 Yeah, Jesus, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,

02:05:29 John Locke, Hobbes.

02:05:33 I mean, I've done the whole history of philosopher series.

02:05:34 They're all attacked, right?

02:05:36 Gandhi was a bit of a half pedophile creep,

02:05:41 slept naked with young girls.

02:05:43 Galileo, of course, Tycho Brahe,

02:05:46 just a wide variety of people who were attacked

02:05:48 and ostracized.

02:05:49 The guy who figured out that you wash your hands

02:05:52 is good before surgery and all of that.

02:05:54 Yeah, it's pretty common, right?

02:05:59 So if you've always got a bad reputation,

02:06:00 you must be a bad guy.

02:06:01 It's like, oh, so you would have just

02:06:03 lynched people in the past.

02:06:04 You'd just been doing part of the lynching mob.

02:06:06 Oh, this guy is a bad guy, let's go lynch him.

02:06:08 You would, at least you know where you are.

02:06:10 At least you know who you would have been in history.

02:06:12 You would have just been a guy like, let me get the rope.

02:06:15 Right?

02:06:15 So there's no doubt, right?

02:06:17 You know, you're just a mob, a mob thug, right?

02:06:22 Just a mob thug.

02:06:22 The people had no idea the politicians

02:06:26 had signed onto the Lima Declaration, this UN agenda.

02:06:29 Yeah.

02:06:31 I would just ask people how much time,

02:06:35 how much time did you spend watching Netflix last week?

02:06:40 Four hours, six hours.

02:06:42 What about sports?

02:06:43 Did you spend time watching sports?

02:06:45 How much time did you spend playing video games?

02:06:49 How much time did you spend perusing nudity on the internet?

02:06:52 How much time did you spend on unproductive pursuits

02:06:56 last week?

02:06:58 And for most people, it's 20 hours, at least,

02:07:00 a week that they spend on trash.

02:07:03 Now, there's nothing wrong with watching a show

02:07:05 or whatever it is, right?

02:07:05 There's nothing wrong with that, it's fine.

02:07:07 I mean, we all need gear down time and relaxing time

02:07:10 and all of that, that's fine.

02:07:11 But when people spend 10 to 20 hours

02:07:19 consuming trash, crap, and garbage,

02:07:25 then don't come to me and complain,

02:07:27 "Well, I didn't know this and I didn't know that.

02:07:30 "Oh, there aren't any manufacturing jobs.

02:07:32 "Huh."

02:07:33 I type into some vaguely objective search engine,

02:07:37 "I wonder why there's so few manufacturing jobs."

02:07:39 "Oh, look, you have an answer delivered straight

02:07:43 "to your brain in about five seconds."

02:07:46 But that would interfere with watching

02:07:48 a three fucking day cricket match, now, wouldn't it?

02:07:50 "Oh, wow, they went into overtime on football.

02:07:53 "Oh, wow, the fifth set at Wimbledon,

02:07:55 "I gotta watch that."

02:07:56 Make your choice and pay for it, right?

02:08:03 Take what you want, take what you want and pay for it.

02:08:06 So you watch a lot of stupid ass sports,

02:08:08 played a lot of brain deadening video games.

02:08:12 And again, I play a couple of video games,

02:08:14 not the end of the world, right?

02:08:16 But no, don't, please, God alive,

02:08:18 don't give people no responsibility.

02:08:20 That's pathetic, that's pathetic.

02:08:23 Don't give people no responsibility.

02:08:24 "Oh, they're just victims, they didn't know."

02:08:27 No, no, no, no, no.

02:08:29 Don't insult people by pretending

02:08:30 that they're idiot children.

02:08:33 They had every opportunity.

02:08:35 Since the 90s, they'd have every opportunity.

02:08:37 Just type it in, look it up and find out.

02:08:39 I'm sure you've talked to them about it.

02:08:41 "No, I would rather watch steroid man hit ball with bat."

02:08:46 Okay, great, but then don't complain to me

02:08:50 when your society turns into an intergalactic shit show.

02:08:53 "I heard bad things about Steph, so avoid."

02:09:00 All right.

02:09:02 (laughs)

02:09:04 Okay, but that's great, I give people responsibility.

02:09:09 I give people responsibility, 'cause I'm not an asshole.

02:09:14 Assholes take away responsibility from people.

02:09:16 Right?

02:09:19 Don't be an asshole, don't strip people

02:09:26 of their responsibility.

02:09:29 Yeah, what is it Elon Musk said?

02:09:30 It was pretty funny.

02:09:31 He said, "Winners win and they write the history

02:09:35 "and then the history is rewritten by losers

02:09:36 "with lots of time to edit Wikipedia."

02:09:38 (laughs)

02:09:40 Beautiful, beautiful.

02:09:45 So no, don't take away people's responsibility

02:09:52 and don't participate in that.

02:09:53 I'm not gonna let you strip away free will

02:09:55 from millions of Australians, no.

02:09:58 They had a choice, they could either look things up,

02:10:00 they can learn about their society,

02:10:02 they can listen to philosophers,

02:10:04 they can listen to moralists,

02:10:05 they can learn about economics

02:10:06 and you don't have to be super smart

02:10:08 to learn about economics.

02:10:09 Kids can do it, you see them trading their Halloween candy,

02:10:12 they know all about it.

02:10:13 No, don't take away their responsibility.

02:10:18 Don't, don't treat them as children.

02:10:23 They may beg you to, because they don't like

02:10:25 the consequences of their own choices.

02:10:27 Well, I chose to watch a lot of sports ball

02:10:29 and my society is going to shit.

02:10:31 I chose to believe liars about good people

02:10:35 and my life is not virtuous.

02:10:37 It's like, okay, well,

02:10:38 yeah, Mitch McConnell is stronking out on TV.

02:10:42 I mean, come on, come on.

02:10:45 "Have you considered writing children's books

02:10:47 "and selling those?"

02:10:47 No, not particularly.

02:10:48 All right, any last, come on, it's been a great show, people.

02:10:51 We've done two and a quarter hours of high jet,

02:10:54 high combustible brain fires.

02:10:59 If you haven't tipped, what do I have to do?

02:11:02 What do I have to do for you to tip?

02:11:04 Too much octane, that's right.

02:11:06 It's like when I was working up north

02:11:07 and we had to mix jet fuel into our propane

02:11:09 to just be warm enough 'cause it was like minus 40.

02:11:12 I remember showering, I remember showering

02:11:15 and the water was freezing on my body.

02:11:17 It was hot, man, so hot.

02:11:19 My whole phone is overheating from all this philosophy

02:11:23 and I will be overeating afterwards.

02:11:25 Thank you, O'Brien, I really appreciate that.

02:11:27 It's a very, very kind tip.

02:11:28 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

02:11:30 And yeah, it's my birthday soon.

02:11:33 It's my birthday soon.

02:11:34 I'm gonna do a show on Friday, right?

02:11:35 That's the 22nd.

02:11:36 My birthday is Sunday.

02:11:38 Ooh, Sunday.

02:11:41 Sunday.

02:11:44 Maybe we'll do a show.

02:11:47 Should I do a show on Sunday?

02:11:49 I mean, nice to check in with the community.

02:11:51 Gifts of experience.

02:11:55 Experiences.

02:11:58 Donations would be great.

02:11:59 Should I do a show?

02:12:01 Perhaps Telegram?

02:12:03 Telegram's a little depressing.

02:12:07 Telegram's a little depressing.

02:12:10 No, enjoy family and birthday.

02:12:11 Well, I can do both.

02:12:12 I can do an hour show or whatever, right?

02:12:13 I mean, I'm not 12.

02:12:15 My birthday doesn't mean that much to me

02:12:16 other than I'm happy to have another one.

02:12:19 Why is Telegram depressing?

02:12:20 Oh, because I start up a show

02:12:22 and some people come, some they don't.

02:12:25 There's all these technical issues.

02:12:26 People have too much loud background noise.

02:12:28 They say they wanna talk and then they're not available

02:12:31 or they've hung up or they can't get their mic to work

02:12:34 and it's just like by the time I actually get talking,

02:12:36 I'm just too annoyed to be a good host.

02:12:38 So, eh, maybe something else.

02:12:40 I'm about to have a kid.

02:12:43 I'm so sick of hearing, "Are you ready to get no sleep?"

02:12:46 Yeah, cancer survivor here and birthdays are quite a blessing.

02:12:48 Oh yeah, no problem getting older

02:12:50 'cause I was pretty close to the alternative.

02:12:52 I wonder if my boy will be born on your birthday any day now.

02:12:56 Those are probably tomorrow or next.

02:12:57 Well, just put giant blotchy headphones of me.

02:12:59 Oh, that's a cool picture.

02:13:02 That's a cool picture.

02:13:04 I would be a good D&D character.

02:13:06 I would be a good D&D character.

02:13:08 Let me save that one.

02:13:09 That's a good picture.

02:13:11 Maybe I'll use that as a thumbnail.

02:13:13 I need "Ride of the Valkyrie" music

02:13:14 when that's going on, right?

02:13:16 Steph on fire horse.

02:13:26 And do check out, if you get a chance,
