0:00

we go, and hello and

0:02

welcome to a little

0:04

progress, actually. I'm

0:07

your host, Hannah Wallen, here

0:10

with Nonsense Annihilator, Lauren Brooks,

0:12

and the personification of Perceptivity, Mike

0:14

Stevenson, and tonight we've got

0:16

a bit of an update. And

0:19

this is one, like, this is

0:21

always controversial in the movement because we've

0:23

got pro -lifers and pro -choicers in the

0:25

movement, but this

0:27

is about... ultimately

0:30

taxes. So, before

0:33

we get into it, we gotta

0:35

do what we gotta do. As

0:38

always, Honey Badger Radio

0:40

dishes out a smorgasbord of thought

0:42

-provoking discussions and his experiences both

0:44

recent and long past have

0:46

demonstrated the provoked thoughts are fighting

0:48

back. They've made it clear

0:50

that for people like us relying

0:52

on third -party payment platforms like Patreon

0:54

to fund our work is treading on

0:56

thin ice or building our house

0:58

in the path of a rapidly growing

1:00

wildfire. In light of

1:02

this, we strongly encourage our supporters to

1:04

switch at least their support for

1:07

us to FeedTheBadger .com, the most stable

1:09

way to help us out. And if

1:11

you want to tip us directly...

1:14

Instead of relying on any social

1:16

media platforms tip jar the link

1:18

for that is feedthebatcher .com slash just

1:20

the tip and as always the

1:22

same risk applies to our social

1:24

media platforms Which is why you

1:26

can further provoke the thought police

1:28

by tracking our thought -provoking discussions

1:30

on honey badger brigade calm Where you

1:32

can find your way to all of our

1:34

content as well as a link to feed the

1:36

badger calm in the drop -down menu at the

1:38

top of the page now Our

1:42

social media platforms is

1:44

kind of an interesting

1:46

phenomenon here Everybody makes fun

1:48

of you know, you paid

1:50

for Twitter you paid for

1:52

Twitter But I do I've

1:55

supported Twitter since the The Twitter

1:57

files came out and

1:59

exposed the collusion that

2:01

the the previous

2:03

owner and administrator was

2:06

engaging in with

2:08

government agencies to censor

2:10

speech on Twitter. And

2:13

I felt that that

2:15

was kind of important

2:17

because this is something

2:20

that's actually a, is

2:22

a violation of the

2:24

First Amendment for the

2:26

government to pressure and

2:28

collude with an organization

2:30

to censor speech. It's

2:33

not the same thing

2:35

as a private organization

2:37

just doing their thing.

2:39

when the FBI and

2:41

the CIA and specific

2:43

officials, government officials, are

2:46

demanding censorship of specific

2:48

people and specific political

2:50

speech, and then the

2:52

entity is doing it on

2:54

their behalf. That

2:56

is no longer the

2:58

entity's freedom of speech.

3:01

That is government censorship.

3:06

You know, I've caught a lot of flak for that, right?

3:09

So an interesting thing happened this

3:11

past week that kind of made

3:13

it pay off in a way

3:15

that was unexpected. I,

3:18

like I said, I'm spending about

3:20

eight bucks a month for this.

3:22

It's not a... I know a

3:24

lot of people who spend more

3:26

than that a week on coffee.

3:29

So it's not a big expense, right? But

3:32

I got false reported...

3:34

somebody that was butt

3:36

hurt about something I

3:38

said or did and

3:40

I don't know who

3:42

it might have actually

3:44

been the individual that

3:47

I was talking to

3:49

in in the conversation

3:51

I got false reported

3:53

in the false report

3:55

was really dumb right

3:57

the individual had told

3:59

the victim of a

4:01

PDF file to to

4:04

self -delete, right? And

4:07

so of course we're

4:09

criticizing this individual as supporting

4:11

that particular proclivity, that

4:13

illegal proclivity. By the way,

4:15

it's not like we're

4:17

not we're not gonna get

4:19

monetized anyway. Yeah, I

4:21

know we're talking about we're

4:24

talking about nonsense and

4:26

suicides. Yeah, folks. Well, this

4:29

is not a discussion about

4:31

those things. So I figured

4:33

if we if we didn't

4:35

use those terms in a

4:37

discussion that's not about those

4:39

things, then we wouldn't be

4:41

like some people are actually

4:43

getting their stuff deleted now

4:45

for mentioning that again. I

4:47

think it's rather, it's a

4:49

almost, dare

4:51

I say it, delightful way.

4:53

It makes me a little

4:55

bit happy when I can say

4:58

PDF files instead of what

5:00

it actually is, you know, because

5:02

it's such a fucking horrific

5:04

thing. Well, either way, the interesting...

5:06

Go ahead. Yeah, the interesting

5:08

thing that happened was I didn't

5:10

I didn't find out about

5:13

this for a day because I

5:15

wasn't on Onyx for a

5:17

day, right? So when I came

5:19

back on you know, it

5:21

goes goes through that process. Oh,

5:23

you've been locked for violating

5:25

our policies on and of course

5:28

the person reported me for

5:30

Something to do with violence what

5:32

I had said was Because

5:34

the person denied being Approving basically

5:36

of pedophilia And it was

5:38

like you told the victim of

5:40

a pedophile to commit suicide

5:43

You know, you're yeah, that's totally

5:45

not sus, right? That

5:47

was what got reported

5:50

And so I of course

5:52

I appealed right I

5:54

appealed immediately and I Went

5:56

into the help system

5:58

to do it. I didn't

6:00

just Because they have

6:02

an immediate like appeal you

6:04

can click here to

6:06

appeal like, you know, screw that,

6:08

went into the help system to do

6:10

it, and in the help system you get

6:12

to make more of an explanation. It's

6:15

why you think that your

6:17

thing that you've said doesn't fit

6:19

the policy that they're using

6:21

to make you delete it. So

6:23

I gave my explanation, I

6:25

pointed out, you know, this is

6:27

sarcastic, sarcasm used

6:29

to criticize this individual for

6:31

telling another person to commit

6:34

suicide. because he is a

6:36

victim of a pedophile. It's

6:38

clearly not advocacy for violence. It's

6:41

clearly criticizing an

6:43

individual who advocated or

6:45

suggested another individual

6:47

commit suicide. And I

6:49

noticed when I get back,

6:51

the comment that I was

6:53

responding to had been deleted

6:56

in several other comments in

6:58

the conversation where the individual

7:00

had repeatedly told this person

7:02

to commit suicide. They had

7:04

all been deleted. So I'm

7:06

assuming that individual had been

7:08

reported and had just assumed

7:10

that the people he was

7:12

talking to were the ones

7:14

that did it and had

7:16

retaliated by reporting and So

7:18

that's how that it's interesting

7:21

the interesting thing to me

7:23

is Like, by the time

7:25

I got done messaging people

7:27

who usually ask, you know,

7:29

where are you? Why aren't

7:31

you on Twitter? Um,

7:33

on Discord? It

7:35

was resolved. And

7:37

usually, like, prior to this,

7:39

when I was dealing with old

7:42

Twitter, that took three days. Right?

7:45

And I'm pretty sure it got resolved

7:47

faster because I'm a premium user. So

7:50

that was what I wanted to point out. I

7:53

might have to start

7:55

supporting ex formerly Twitter even

7:57

harder as my options

7:59

in alternative media begin to

8:01

shrink due to recent

8:03

UK rules I'm allowed to

8:05

say these things on

8:07

gab and bitch you but

8:10

both these companies have

8:12

had to withdraw withdraw from

8:14

the UK So they

8:16

don't have to disclose user

8:18

data, and I don't

8:20

know if that means I'll

8:22

no longer be allowed to

8:24

use bitchute or gab or if

8:26

they're just moving their operations

8:28

from those countries because bitchute i

8:31

think was a uk company

8:33

a company based in the uk

8:35

and now they're going to

8:37

have to to move their operations

8:39

overseas so that they don't

8:41

get completely shut down if only

8:43

by excessive fines but gab's

8:45

not a uk company it's an

8:47

american one but they're still They

8:50

too are talking about having

8:52

to withdraw from from the UK,

8:55

which I think means But

8:57

I'm not sure I Won't be

8:59

able to use gab or

9:01

bitch you from the UK anymore,

9:03

which which would kind of

9:05

suck Yeah But thank God we

9:07

have things like ex formerly

9:09

Twitter and indeed rumble and YouTube

9:11

I don't know I'm not

9:14

gonna thank any gods for YouTube

9:16

because it's a fucking sass

9:18

bit But at least I'll still

9:20

be able to use it. Stadoband

9:23

into oblivion as though I

9:25

am. Yeah,

9:29

social media has become

9:31

quite different. And

9:33

it's going to be an

9:36

interesting thing to see what

9:38

happens in upcoming because I

9:40

know Europe is trying to

9:42

find Musk a bunch of

9:44

money and pressure him to

9:46

bow to their their

9:49

policies, their anti -speech policies and

9:51

everything. Now, I don't know if

9:53

he's gonna pay the money or

9:55

if he's gonna do something else,

9:57

but they are forgetting that this

9:59

is a guy who, at

10:02

the drop of a news

10:04

story, reporting that

10:06

they didn't have access

10:08

to internet in Ukraine

10:10

and it was causing

10:13

the Ukrainian military to

10:15

have problems. Communicating

10:17

and people of Ukraine have

10:19

problems communicating like he

10:21

just set up a whole

10:23

network there and He

10:25

did it with satellites so

10:28

if Europe decides that

10:30

that they don't want to

10:32

allow free speech and

10:34

Musk decides that he wants

10:36

to enforce free speech

10:38

He could do it it

10:40

like he has the

10:43

capability of putting up satellites

10:45

And the only thing they

10:47

could do, after those

10:50

satellites are up, is try

10:52

to figure out a

10:54

way to prevent people from

10:56

accessing the signal. I

10:58

don't even know if you can jam that. He's

11:01

like an un -elected

11:03

official of the government.

11:06

Oh my god, how

11:08

can he do it?

11:10

He's the billionaire class,

11:12

meanwhile. When George

11:14

Soros and his ilk were

11:17

funding the Democrat side

11:19

of the party, there was

11:21

not a peep. You

11:23

couldn't hear a mouse piss

11:25

on cotton. Yeah, I

11:28

honestly, I would love

11:30

to hear the European

11:33

elite bitch and whine

11:35

about about a guy

11:37

like Musk providing the

11:39

public. means of communication

11:42

that the elite cannot

11:44

stifle while enslaving them.

11:47

That's basically what that fine

11:49

is, but it'll be even

11:51

funnier if it's completely out

11:53

of their control, completely. I

11:57

know that would be super

11:59

expensive and the guy is rich,

12:01

but that doesn't mean he

12:03

has infinite money. But

12:05

it would still be hilarious

12:07

to see him do that. And,

12:10

you know, like I said, he does

12:12

have all of the tools he needs

12:15

to do that. He can build them. He

12:17

can he can launch them.

12:19

He can maintain them. If

12:22

they if something happens to

12:24

one of them, he can he

12:26

can send techs up to

12:28

repair, whether they're human techs or

12:30

robot techs, he has both. It's

12:34

like nothing. And

12:36

there's nothing to tear here can

12:39

do about it. I it's

12:41

like the populist version of Dr.

12:43

Evil. Yeah. Yeah.

12:45

He is like a bond

12:47

hero. Yeah.

12:50

Listen, and you know, for

12:52

as much as the

12:55

world complains about how much

12:57

Europe has colonized the

12:59

world, I would fucking love

13:01

to see someone do

13:03

a little. a

13:07

little bit of a give back. Yeah. Yeah.

13:10

They probably would call it colonizing. Yeah.

13:14

Exactly. They'll be hilarious. You

13:16

allow the people to speak

13:19

freely. How dare you. Yeah. Yeah.

13:21

Exactly. Exactly. But

13:23

it was full of right in

13:25

line. Right. Yeah. They were not

13:27

against us leaving their country and

13:29

forming our own government and country

13:31

as it were. You know. Absolutely

13:35

would have a problem with

13:37

that book. What could they

13:39

do? Yeah Yeah, you

13:41

know and if if If

13:43

he did something like that

13:45

in my mind that would

13:48

make it even more worth

13:50

it to support the platform

13:52

honestly Yeah, like it would

13:54

yeah that would you know

13:56

That actually might even merit

13:58

going up to the next

14:00

level of because there's another

14:02

level of premium above what

14:04

I'm paying for And there's

14:07

actually a level of paid

14:09

Features below. There's some $3

14:11

thing that allows you some

14:13

of what the premium features

14:15

offer, but not all of

14:17

them But like I don't

14:19

know or or I'd start

14:21

like advertising each be our

14:24

talk on X or something

14:26

Like it'd be worth it

14:28

Yeah, I haven't even paid

14:30

attention to it because honestly

14:33

social media was nothing more

14:35

than just a vehicle for

14:37

me to Get my my

14:39

opinion across, you know and

14:41

and have arguments with Idiots

14:43

who I thought were real

14:46

people, you know But as

14:48

as time goes by and

14:50

you really understand what it

14:52

is you're dealing with like

14:54

like we're in a fucking

14:56

kerfuffle right now with someone

14:58

two two accounts that just

15:01

obviously did just fucking I

15:03

wouldn't call them bots but

15:05

they are just uh engagement

15:07

farmers right yeah and um

15:09

you know I just I

15:11

don't care to engage with

15:13

them I'm not gonna go

15:16

mean for mean back and

15:18

forth with you fucking assholes

15:20

you know as as funny

15:22

as it could be But

15:24

I just, I don't have

15:26

the time. I do not

15:28

care. I've done that so

15:31

many times before, and it's

15:33

just no, it doesn't hold

15:35

the entertainment value for me

15:37

anymore. Right? All it is

15:39

is just, oh my God,

15:41

there's another notification. There's another

15:43

fucking notification. That's all I need. I've

15:46

been enjoying it. I'll be honest, I've

15:48

been enjoying it. Well,

15:52

okay, so I just I had

15:54

somebody point something out to me

15:56

about it recently So like this

15:58

is this this seems for me

16:00

to be the The female equivalent

16:02

of getting into a bar fight

16:05

And you know as as a

16:07

dude except I had because I

16:09

do live in the US as

16:11

long as I don't say you

16:13

know this you should go commit

16:15

this crime or Actually,

16:18

you can even do that and

16:20

and it's not illegal. It's if

16:22

you play in a crime Like

16:24

then that then you then as

16:26

a conspiracy to commit a crime,

16:28

right? So long as they don't

16:30

do something like that Then then

16:32

it's it's not illegal for me

16:34

to to get into Twitter slap

16:36

bites with By

16:38

the way, thank you very much

16:40

to whoever it was who tagged

16:42

me into that thread that became

16:44

an epic meme fight on Twitter

16:46

a couple of days ago. My

16:48

notification was this shocker block with

16:50

this fucking meme fight. It was

16:52

entertaining. Which thread are we talking

16:55

about? I know I haven't seen

16:57

you all the time. I

16:59

don't know if it was the one I was

17:01

in or whether it's another meme fight. I

17:05

forget who it was. It

17:07

was a fat chick finder. Oh,

17:09

yes, that was the one

17:11

I was in. Oh

17:13

my god. Do

17:15

you know they followed me? Of

17:19

course, because these people

17:21

are fucking, they are, they

17:23

are narcissists. This person

17:25

thought calling me fat would

17:27

upset me. Yeah,

17:30

no, I mean it's stupid.

17:32

They are only there for

17:34

engagement farming, right? But

17:36

the only reason that I will not

17:38

delete myself from this, I don't even

17:40

know how the fuck, how do you

17:42

do that? How do you get yourself

17:45

out of one of them? There's

17:47

a way, there's a way.

17:49

Let me see if... Well, I'll

17:51

send you instructions. There's

17:54

only the only reason that I

17:56

haven't cared so much to do that

17:58

is because sometimes you can get

18:00

some really good fucking means. And

18:02

there was the one the

18:04

one my one takeaway is

18:06

it used to be called

18:08

a jumbling until your mom

18:10

jumped on it. And now

18:12

it was awesome. I

18:15

love that. When do you

18:17

find all these memes? And do

18:19

you just have a big

18:21

ass folder in your hard drive?

18:24

One. folder So yeah, I

18:26

have a folder with folders in

18:28

the folder and also memes

18:30

in the folder and then memes

18:32

in the folders in the

18:34

folder and some of those folders

18:37

also have folders and then

18:39

my other Devices also have folders

18:41

Folders with folders of folders

18:43

like my gift files are separate

18:45

so that you know Yeah,

18:47

I have a lot of means

18:50

memes I just, if

18:52

I like it, I save it. I

18:54

even have one for telling

18:56

people I'm stealing their meme.

18:59

A whole

19:02

folder? Uh,

19:04

just not, not just a whole folder of that.

19:06

No, just one meme for that. No, that's

19:09

in my regular meme folder. How

19:12

do you remember all this shit?

19:14

How can, how can you just have

19:16

this repository of meme information that

19:18

you could just... You can just pull

19:20

anything out of it. I have

19:22

this really weird memory, right? So it

19:24

depends on how something strikes me,

19:26

okay? If it hits

19:28

and it hits just

19:30

right, I remember it forever.

19:34

You know, like even things

19:36

like this thing that

19:38

I want to reference is

19:40

on, it's in this

19:42

book, in this chapter on

19:44

this page, and it's on this part

19:46

of the page somewhere. Like, I

19:48

can visually see it. And, you know,

19:50

if I want to go look

19:52

again for it, I can go back

19:54

to that book and open to

19:56

that page. A lot of times, I

19:58

won't even remember the page number,

20:00

just how far into the book physically

20:02

I have to turn to get

20:04

to the page and what the text

20:06

on the page, what shape the

20:09

text on the page takes, like how,

20:11

where the breaks are in the

20:13

text for paragraphs and stuff. And

20:15

based on that, I'll know when I'm

20:17

on the right page, right? But

20:19

at the same time, if you

20:21

asked me what I ate last night

20:24

for supper when I was at work, I

20:26

would have to think about it. I

20:28

did eat. I know I did

20:30

eat, right? It's

20:32

not important to me

20:34

what I had, right? On

20:38

the other hand, There

20:40

is a high chance that it's exactly the

20:42

same thing I've eaten every night for the last

20:44

month. Yeah. Because I'll

20:46

get on a kick like that. And

20:48

yeah, Richard did that. Justatism.

20:54

All that stuff. I was like,

20:56

look at my idiosyncrasies. No, I'm

20:58

not autistic. We've been discussing chess

21:00

in the chat. He might be

21:02

referring to our discussion of chess

21:04

in the chat. Yeah. But

21:07

a possibility as well. But

21:10

it is funny because the

21:12

more I learn about how

21:14

it affects the way I

21:16

think, the more I realize,

21:18

like, it

21:20

should have been obvious

21:23

when I was younger

21:25

and, you know, could

21:27

have gotten help in

21:29

developing my social skills,

21:31

right? But it wasn't,

21:33

I guess. I

21:35

just watched the video of,

21:37

you know, someone on YouTube,

21:39

obviously. So, you know, I

21:42

don't know how credible it

21:44

is or whatever. But these

21:46

behaviors have been, they've always

21:48

been around in children. We

21:51

just didn't know how to

21:53

classify them or even recognize

21:55

that they were, you know,

21:58

idiosyncrasies. within how children behave,

22:00

you know, so if you

22:02

have one child who is

22:04

laser focused on on how

22:06

to set up the tea

22:09

cups if you're playing tea

22:11

and you know getting mad

22:13

at your sister who wants

22:15

to play actually go and

22:17

play tea but your your

22:20

one sister is just laser

22:22

focused on on setting up

22:24

everything and making sure everything

22:26

is perfect You know, those

22:28

are are signs of autism,

22:31

right? Like because you're

22:33

hyper focused. Yeah.

22:36

Oh, yeah.

22:38

And it's it's it's

22:40

quite an interesting experience learning

22:42

about this stuff. But

22:45

in any case, in in

22:47

a in a in a world where

22:50

narcissism is completely normalized, anything

22:52

that isn't narcissism

22:54

will be called autism.

22:56

You'll be misdiagnosed

22:58

as autism. And

23:00

I have

23:02

been learning more

23:05

about recovering

23:07

from being victimized

23:09

by a

23:11

narcissist, too, because that's

23:13

another, that's a whole other story

23:15

for a whole other time. I've

23:17

talked about it a couple of

23:19

times, actually. But in

23:22

any case, there's

23:25

quite a bit about being

23:27

autistic that can make you

23:29

vulnerable to the turning everyone

23:32

against you socially aspect of

23:34

narcissistic abuse and so that

23:36

kind of if you if

23:38

you are working with someone

23:40

if you're autistic and you're

23:42

working with someone who's a

23:44

narcissist you're in danger if

23:46

you live with someone who's

23:49

a narcissist you're in even

23:51

more danger but Work

23:54

is even work is a

23:56

you know a Possibility for

23:58

danger. Yeah, and I don't

24:00

I don't I'm sorry to

24:02

correct you I don't want

24:04

to be that type of

24:06

person but not in danger

24:08

but susceptible. Oh, no, you're

24:11

in danger like I was

24:13

physically injured. Oh

24:15

Yeah, well narcissists do

24:17

weird things like mine

24:20

Like I own this narcissist.

24:23

This is my narcissist It

24:25

was created for me But

24:27

no my narcissist put because

24:29

she found out that my

24:31

combination of poor eyesight and

24:34

inability to get glasses at

24:36

the time new glasses at

24:38

the time made it so

24:40

that if you Had a

24:42

knife blade pointing at me.

24:45

I couldn't see the blade

24:47

I couldn't distinguish where it

24:49

was and where it ended

24:51

and stuff. So you started

24:53

putting knives in the dishwasher

24:56

I had to empty with

24:58

the blade up. And

25:00

I missed one and I

25:02

grabbed a handful of silverware

25:04

to pick up and sort

25:06

out and put away and

25:08

sliced off a chunk of

25:10

the end of the middle

25:12

finger on my left hand.

25:16

Jesus. Yeah. There's

25:18

a numb spot there. That's actually

25:20

about the size of a

25:22

sweet pea. There's a scar there

25:24

about the size, because I

25:26

don't like going to the hospital.

25:28

And I didn't want to take the time off

25:31

work. So I got

25:33

out my big ass

25:35

first aid kit and I

25:37

got out my... With

25:39

your history, I can't imagine

25:41

why you wouldn't like

25:43

going to the hospital if

25:45

I burned my foot

25:47

on... on coals. I'm

25:49

allergic to every living thing

25:52

around me. I've been there a

25:54

few times. But

25:59

yeah, I just got out my

26:01

my biggest personal first aid kit

26:03

that I carry everywhere because I

26:05

am a klutz. And

26:07

I got out my bleed stop

26:09

and I used that and I

26:11

stuck the piece back on the

26:13

end of my finger and bandaged

26:15

the hell out of it and

26:18

went back to work. You

26:20

can't even come to my house because I

26:22

don't even have band -aids. Oh, that's okay.

26:24

I bring my own. Seriously.

26:29

Of course you do. My

26:31

first aid kit has butterfly sutures in

26:33

it. Well,

26:37

you'll have to teach me how

26:39

to use those because I I

26:41

don't want to be in a

26:43

position where I cannot administer first

26:45

They make some really neat ones

26:48

actually you can get them. They're

26:50

not cheap, but you can get

26:52

them on Amazon where it it

26:54

has The whole thing is all

26:56

in one unit. It's it's got

26:59

the plastic tape and everything all

27:01

attached and it's got a couple

27:03

strings And you put

27:05

it on and then you pull

27:07

the strings and it tightens it.

27:09

So it works the same as

27:11

like the butterfly suit your butterfly. It's

27:14

it's not a stitch. It's

27:16

a it's a bandaid, basically. But

27:19

it sticks things together. Wait,

27:21

this is on. I

27:23

mean, doesn't crazy glue work? Somebody

27:26

has. Yeah, I'm going to. That's what

27:28

typically we're designed for in the in

27:30

the army originally. Yeah, yeah. When

27:33

I cut myself I

27:36

suck on the wound until

27:38

it gels because I'm

27:40

a man I've never lost

27:42

a limb I've never

27:44

even lost a finger I've

27:47

never even passed out

27:49

during the operation It's because

27:51

I'm careful enough not

27:53

to fucking cut myself This

27:55

is going out on

27:58

things that I can't even

28:00

see in Restream So

28:02

I'm gonna check

28:05

something here. I

28:07

don't see that.

28:09

I don't see

28:11

that Okay, no,

28:14

it's not This

28:16

doesn't make any

28:18

sense That's X

28:20

sorry guys, this

28:22

is a Little

28:25

bit more technical

28:27

difficulties, but it's

28:29

not doing All

28:32

right, if it's going out

28:34

on other... Somebody in Direhawk

28:36

just told, or somebody from

28:39

Direhawk just told me it's

28:41

going out, but

28:43

it's... Not showing in...

28:45

Restream that it's going

28:47

out on those things,

28:49

so I don't understand

28:51

what's happening here. I

28:54

hate Restream. Just

28:57

for the record. But,

29:00

alright, so anyway, we'll get away

29:02

from the medical talk and everything. But,

29:05

yeah, those are actually really

29:07

neat. You what? Have

29:10

you even still done what

29:12

we're supposed to do? We haven't

29:15

started yet. No, we got

29:17

to talk about social media because

29:19

of the art of conversation

29:21

people We've lost that and yeah,

29:23

and I'm so glad that

29:25

you all are here with us

29:27

It's called it's called HBR

29:29

talk not HBR article there we

29:31

go. Yeah, but the ultimate

29:34

point that I was making with

29:36

social media thing is there's

29:39

actually value that I'm getting for

29:41

paying for Twitter that I wasn't

29:43

expecting, for paying for X that

29:45

I wasn't expecting. It's

29:47

nice to be

29:49

able to get immediate

29:51

evaluation of an

29:53

allegation when you're accused

29:56

of violating the

29:58

terms of the platform

30:00

instead of having

30:02

to wait. And

30:04

a person looks at it And

30:06

and then they they

30:08

do something to try to

30:10

fix it and so

30:12

I was restored within minutes

30:14

and And yeah, that

30:16

was that was valuable because

30:18

of that Meme fight

30:21

But but in any case

30:23

and yeah, if you're

30:25

in a if you're in

30:27

a workplace with a

30:29

narcissist definitely watch your back

30:31

in your fingers and Every

30:33

so often you'll see

30:35

me post a link on

30:37

X by the way

30:39

from a channel That talks

30:41

about recovering from narcissistic

30:43

abuse the the guy that

30:45

runs that channel I

30:47

keep his name for some

30:50

dumb reason right now,

30:52

but he was a victim

30:54

himself and he is

30:56

a trained therapist who assists

30:58

other people in recovering

31:00

from narcissistic abuse so

31:02

a lot of I've been watching

31:04

a lot of his stuff

31:06

just because that experience really threw

31:08

me and It does help

31:10

to to get some confirmation that

31:12

the behavior that you are

31:14

subjected to is not normal Yeah,

31:17

I was just gonna ask

31:19

if that would include people

31:21

who would assume themselves of

31:24

being narcissistic in the first

31:26

place, right? Like, is it

31:28

that type of thing where

31:30

I might think I'm a

31:32

narcissist, so I might need

31:34

to go and get help,

31:36

or is it strictly people

31:38

who have identified this authority

31:40

figure in their life as

31:43

a narcissist? And

31:45

I am help in

31:47

narcissists. I think typically It's

31:50

someone unable to diagnose

31:52

themselves without with narcissism, right?

31:54

I mean if somebody

31:56

if somebody is worried that

31:59

they might be a

32:01

narcissist and they watch that

32:03

channel there are things

32:05

he will describe that are

32:07

behaviors that are common

32:10

to narcissism that Um,

32:12

they're really out there behaviors. Like,

32:14

you know that Amber heard shitting

32:16

the bed incident? Yeah,

32:19

that's a narcissistic behavior. Believe

32:21

it or not, that's a narcissistic

32:24

behavior. Um, it was actually

32:26

covered in, in the last video of his

32:28

that I shared on X. I'm pretty sure

32:30

I shared that on X. Uh,

32:32

but the Indian fella. Yeah. Yeah. He

32:34

also talked about stuff in the faces

32:36

with food and imagining people dying. Yeah.

32:39

Yeah. And it's just like

32:41

it like if I ever

32:43

Had any doubts and thought

32:45

that that might be me

32:47

that video was like I

32:49

was horrified the whole time

32:52

I was listening to like

32:54

To think of somebody's mind

32:56

working that way was actually

32:58

upsetting You know, I cannot

33:00

imagine being trapped in that

33:02

thought pattern and and being

33:05

it makes it actually scarier

33:07

to think of being in

33:09

the room with someone who

33:11

is That thought pattern really

33:13

creepy narcissus are creepy But

33:15

in any case yeah that

33:18

that guy I like his

33:20

channel. There's a and then

33:22

if you're at the other

33:24

end of it if you're

33:26

Suspecting yourself to potentially be

33:28

autistic autism from the inside

33:31

is a pretty good channel

33:33

and it's it's one of

33:35

those where Kept even when

33:37

my doctor and I started

33:39

talking about it and even

33:41

after I found out that

33:44

I have four genetic markers

33:46

for autism not one Before

33:48

I'm still like well, maybe

33:50

you know, maybe not like

33:52

I'm this old and Haven't

33:54

been diagnosed yet. Wouldn't somebody

33:57

have figured it out sooner

33:59

and the more I hear

34:01

the more I realized like

34:03

that's not a Determining factor.

34:05

It's really not But

34:09

those are those are a

34:11

couple of good channels and I

34:13

don't think I've shared a

34:15

lot from autism from the inside,

34:17

but I probably should In

34:19

any case into more Show specific

34:22

material We do have our

34:24

first super chow of the evening

34:26

and that's from Meredith G

34:28

who gave us $5 and said

34:30

HBR talk 351 honey for

34:32

the Badgers And I'm

34:35

gonna introduce the article

34:37

with a caveat here.

34:40

And this isn't

34:42

exactly in -cap

34:44

specific either. But

34:47

if you're an in -cap, you're gonna sympathize

34:49

with his point of view, right? Because

34:53

you sympathize with the idea

34:55

that taxation is theft anyway. But

34:58

if... going to tolerate

35:00

taxes at all income

35:02

taxes and such Men

35:05

who can't even Afford

35:07

to pay the copay

35:09

to get a prostate

35:11

exam shouldn't be getting

35:14

taxed to pay for

35:16

similar things for women

35:18

Elsewhere right even just

35:20

you know, well men

35:23

don't get these things

35:25

covered for them by

35:27

the government and their

35:30

forced to legally forced to

35:32

buy insurance and then they

35:34

can't afford even the co -pays

35:36

so then they can't get

35:38

their regular testing they can't

35:41

get there's not a kind

35:43

any kind of medical birth

35:45

control available to them yet

35:47

and except getting a vasectomy

35:49

which isn't necessarily healthy and

35:51

it's not necessarily reversible and

35:54

in most cases it's not

35:56

reversible but they're being taxed

35:58

to pay for women's abortions.

36:01

That's insult and

36:03

injury. And

36:05

then on top of insult

36:07

and injury, it's women in

36:09

foreign countries. So they're

36:11

not even in, it's not

36:13

even benefiting women in their community

36:15

and their family, their

36:17

country. No, it's women halfway around the

36:20

world that they don't know and

36:22

will never meet. And

36:24

You know, whether it's really a benefit or

36:26

not to be able to have an

36:29

abortion is obviously debatable and I don't think

36:31

it is. But

36:33

even if abortion was the gold

36:35

standard of medical treatment and all

36:37

women should have access to it

36:39

and its greatest thing on earth

36:41

and blah blah blah blah blah,

36:43

even if it was the best

36:45

thing we could do for women

36:47

and children everywhere, which I

36:49

obviously don't agree with, but even

36:51

if that was true. You

36:54

shouldn't be forced

36:56

to pay for women

36:58

in France or

37:00

Zimbabwe or Australia or

37:02

Brazil to have

37:04

it done. In countries

37:07

that most of Americans

37:09

will never ever even

37:11

be able to visit,

37:14

right? Because of the way

37:16

we are taxed, we

37:18

cannot afford to even visit

37:20

these places, right? And

37:22

I mean, it's just disgusting

37:24

that this is where our money

37:26

is going to. I

37:28

have a real problem with

37:31

the fact that, you

37:33

know, forget about fucking funding

37:35

abortions. Where? When? Who

37:37

is going to start

37:39

funding the fucking education? of

37:42

how to prevent pregnancy.

37:44

I mean, this just seems

37:46

so stupid on the

37:48

face of it. Preventing

37:51

pregnancy, right?

37:53

It's just, you know,

37:55

you don't fuck number

37:57

one. That's kind of

38:00

how you do it.

38:02

Or you use the

38:04

litany of birth control

38:06

options that are available. Let's

38:11

do that. You know what

38:13

I mean? Like, why is

38:15

it that abortion is the

38:17

thing that we are spending

38:19

our money to, it's

38:22

because we

38:24

have provided,

38:26

it's like the grocery store, right?

38:29

Like when you give people too

38:31

many options, they just can't

38:33

make up their mind, right? So

38:35

they go home with probably the

38:37

worst fucking option available to them.

38:41

Or they spend a shitload of money on

38:43

something that they could get cheaper. Right.

38:46

Right. Right. When instead what

38:48

we need to be

38:50

doing is teaching these people

38:52

what actually is on

38:54

these grocery aisles. And in

38:56

the grocery aisles, I

38:58

mean, in the

39:00

pharmacist aisle of pharmaceutical... Like

39:02

there's a whole section

39:04

for women's stuff. women's health

39:06

and it includes everything

39:08

from the birth control items

39:11

to you know like

39:13

pills you take for urinary

39:15

health and and everything

39:17

um all of the you

39:19

know the stuff to

39:21

deal with that not so

39:23

fresh feeling from the

39:25

commercials which isn't healthy but

39:27

i don't know how

39:29

old i am but i

39:31

was like maybe a

39:33

week old fucking

39:36

walk through CVS

39:38

and found vibrators in

39:40

CVS. Yep. Yep.

39:42

Yep. Yep. The women's

39:44

health section. Yes.

39:46

How do you have

39:48

products for sexual stimulation yet

39:50

you cannot provide more

39:52

than I couldn't tell you?

39:54

I mean, condom. That's

39:56

that's what you got. condoms

39:59

and if you knock

40:01

on the window, you can

40:03

probably get the plan

40:05

B. Oh, yeah.

40:07

At various pharmacies

40:09

actually. In fact, when

40:12

I worked at a

40:14

pharmacy, you

40:17

know, they had

40:19

everything from condoms

40:21

and spermacidal lubes,

40:24

spermacidal film and

40:26

all that. The

40:28

sponges. all the way up

40:30

to morning after pills on

40:32

the shelf. You didn't have

40:34

to go behind the counter

40:36

to get it. You

40:38

just had to get it

40:40

unlocked because that's one of

40:43

the things that the shoplifting

40:45

gangs target. And

40:47

they do that. They do

40:49

that in... to remove the stigma

40:51

of having to ask for

40:53

these things. They're like, oh my

40:55

god, how could you? They're

40:58

removing the stigma of having to

41:00

ask for the medication, but

41:02

then you have to ask to

41:04

get it unlocked. It's

41:06

kind of funny. But

41:08

they don't use it

41:10

anyway. We don't fucking

41:13

use it anyway. So

41:15

what really is the point

41:17

of all of it? It's just

41:19

a fucking song and dance.

41:21

Just to be able to say,

41:23

oh, well, oh my God,

41:25

ooh, something happened. And

41:27

oh, I got pregnant. And

41:30

oh, no, I,

41:32

it's my, it's

41:35

my, it's my,

41:37

I need a

41:40

medical intervention for

41:42

my body. It's

41:44

my body. Oh

41:47

my God, I just, I

41:49

don't know what happened. All

41:52

of a sudden there's another

41:54

body inside of my body

41:56

and it's my right to

41:58

not have to deal with

42:00

this other body inside of

42:02

my body, but it's not

42:04

a body. It's just, it's

42:06

just whatever we can use,

42:09

whatever terminology we can use

42:11

to psychologically detach. Can

42:13

we call it a two body problem? Yes,

42:18

thank you. Oh my

42:20

God. Yes,

42:23

it's like any term

42:25

they can use to psychologically

42:27

detach themselves from what

42:30

is actually happening inside of

42:32

their own body. It's

42:35

disgusting. It's disgusting.

42:37

It's like... I

42:39

don't know. Yeah,

42:42

it's compartmentalizing, right?

42:44

So you don't

42:46

think of it

42:48

as meeting the

42:50

criteria that it

42:52

meets. You learn

42:54

in health class in

42:56

the United States when

42:59

you are growing up.

43:01

You learn that the

43:03

criteria for life includes

43:05

a very specific set

43:07

of characteristics. And

43:09

then you learn

43:11

about the gestational development.

43:13

of a human

43:15

organism, and lo and behold,

43:18

from conception, from

43:20

implantation, that

43:23

life meets all

43:25

of those criteria,

43:29

every single one of them. And,

43:33

you know, we have this compartmentalization

43:36

of, well, it's not alive. And

43:38

you also learned that

43:40

the the human

43:43

species is

43:45

classified based on

43:47

having specifically

43:49

human chromosomes. And

43:51

you also learn

43:53

that after conception, the

43:57

blastocyst, which is

43:59

the early stage before

44:01

it becomes a

44:03

zygote and an embryo,

44:05

or fetus and

44:07

embryo and all that,

44:09

it's got. human

44:11

chromosomes. It's got the

44:13

correct number of

44:15

human chromosomes. And

44:18

so it is classified as

44:20

the species human. But

44:22

you can come

44:24

part -menalize and say,

44:26

well, morally, it's

44:28

not a human life. Okay,

44:31

where do you get that? Well,

44:33

the law says it's

44:35

not a human life. Once

44:38

upon a time, The

44:40

law said black people

44:42

only counted as three -fifth

44:44

of a person Mm -hmm,

44:47

right the law is not

44:49

always right when it's

44:51

wrong we change it Exactly

44:53

Exactly, you know, but

44:55

these people can't think past

44:58

their own fucking generals,

45:00

right? So, you know, and

45:02

I'm sure there are

45:04

a gaggle of these abortion

45:06

addicts And that's what

45:08

I'm going to call them.

45:11

They're addicted to abortion,

45:13

abortion addicts who also own

45:15

animals. They are guardians

45:17

of cats and dogs. And

45:19

well, what would you

45:21

say if your cat got

45:24

pregnant? And she's

45:26

looking at me right now. So

45:29

don't you be putting that on me, girl.

45:33

I don't want it. Right.

45:36

She's not thrilled. How

45:38

would they feel if their

45:41

unspade cat got out and

45:43

just stop looking at me

45:45

like that, cat. You're not

45:47

getting out. They

45:49

got out and happened

45:51

to come home

45:54

pregnant. You know, it would

45:56

be, oh my gosh. The

45:58

miracle of life is

46:01

happening within my very fucking

46:03

field of vision. But

46:05

they start looking for people to give

46:07

those kittens to right away. Well,

46:10

I mean, yes,

46:12

obviously that happened.

46:14

But however, it doesn't

46:16

stop them from

46:19

alling at the

46:21

miracle of life that

46:23

is happening and

46:25

just completely. being,

46:28

um, callous

46:31

to what happens

46:33

inside of a woman's

46:35

body when she

46:37

becomes pregnant. Yeah. Right.

46:40

Yeah. We, uh, we classify

46:42

stuff that is, is not even,

46:44

you know, it's just, it's

46:46

not even a full single -celled

46:49

organism as being alive, but we

46:51

don't want to classify it.

46:53

Yeah. It's other. Right. And other.

46:56

So, yeah. So we have

46:58

we have this weird mentality

47:00

and people will get butt

47:02

hurt over what I'm about

47:04

to read but I want

47:06

to remind people the underlying

47:08

point here is Americans are

47:10

being taxed to pay for

47:13

this and it doesn't matter

47:15

like nobody needs to go

47:17

we don't need to go

47:19

to Europe and say you

47:21

have to pass laws and

47:23

against abortion or We

47:25

don't need to go to South

47:27

America and say, you have

47:29

to close all your abortion clinics.

47:32

We don't have to go

47:34

to Africa and start preaching the

47:36

gospel or telling them that

47:38

abortion is morally wrong or anything.

47:41

But it's not your responsibility

47:43

to pay anyone to perform

47:45

the procedure in those countries.

47:47

It's not your responsibility to

47:49

provide it to them as

47:51

a taxpayer. That's

47:54

mainly my point here. Personally,

47:58

if I had some sort of

48:00

omnipotent power and could just travel

48:02

the world and spread messages and

48:04

everything, sure, I'd go argue with

48:06

those points with those people. This

48:09

is a dumb idea. You shouldn't be doing

48:11

it and here's why. But

48:13

that would be on

48:15

me. And I would just

48:17

as quickly say, you shouldn't be taxed

48:19

to pay for that either. But

48:23

what we are talking about, you'd

48:25

be in tax to pay for, this

48:28

is ending. Republicans are

48:30

pushing to defund nonprofits that

48:32

use foreign aid to

48:34

illegally promote abortion. We

48:37

actually have legislation that

48:39

limits what these nonprofits

48:41

are allowed to promote

48:43

in foreign countries. So

48:46

an hour into this

48:48

show here, we're gonna... We're

48:51

going to actually start reading the article. We

48:55

may not read all of it.

48:57

It's the main thing is is

48:59

that point. But

49:01

it is relevant to everybody that they

49:03

should go to bad or feed if

49:05

they want to support us directly. Yes,

49:07

yes. I did. I

49:10

did. OK. You're not

49:12

a nonprofit organization, by the way. No,

49:14

we we we make money from

49:16

this so as to make a living

49:18

just like any other. Quote

49:21

on quote non -profit organization, but

49:23

except we don't make millions of

49:25

dollars from the taxpayers That's important

49:27

to point out that difference. Well,

49:29

I wouldn't be able to live

49:31

on what I make from this

49:33

but I do make and And

49:35

we don't fucking lie to you.

49:37

We tell you that God's honest

49:39

awful truth No matter if you

49:41

like it or not. Yeah And

49:44

listen, if you value what it

49:46

is we have to say, if

49:48

you would like to become a

49:50

part of the conversation, you are

49:52

very much welcome. Just

49:56

go to the

49:58

aforementioned websites. Yeah,

50:01

Hannah has a script for this

50:03

Brian has a script for this And

50:05

we have talked about it. Yeah,

50:07

we just have to make it up

50:09

as we go along Yeah, I

50:11

don't forget don't forget to like and

50:13

subscribe and share because sharing is

50:15

caring Do all that and you dastardly

50:17

things to the like button Don't

50:19

listen to what doc says it all

50:21

matters. It all helps and please

50:23

tell your friends Well, I guess the

50:25

most important thing you can do If

50:28

you're not Able to

50:31

help with funding is to

50:33

share on social media

50:35

because yeah, we are throttled

50:37

Yes, but we

50:39

did get a super

50:41

chat dr. Filippo

50:43

Oh D. Filippo dr. D.

50:45

Filippo Dan D. Filippo had

50:47

the dyslexia is bad today

50:49

Because the the comment above

50:52

it has the word doctor

50:54

in it good grief The

51:06

worst I've had was I've

51:08

actually pulled a word from the

51:10

middle of a paragraph into the

51:12

paragraph below it and read it

51:14

And into that paragraph and been

51:16

very confused until I figured out

51:19

where it came from But then

51:21

everyone is just like to some

51:23

degree or other. Yeah, this isn't

51:25

normal Just suck like stick and

51:27

there we go. That's

51:30

right. I'm not less toxic

51:32

you are Relatedly he

51:34

gave us $5 USD and

51:36

said relatedly Women are

51:38

never more concerned about the

51:40

federal budget than when

51:42

you suggest $250 mandatory paternity

51:44

tests could be provided

51:46

by government Yeah, those those

51:48

tests are useful but

51:50

Recently I've seen two news

51:52

stories where a test

51:54

positively ID'd the wrong man

51:56

as Yeah, the baby

51:58

and one of them was

52:00

the test the other

52:02

one was a woman was

52:04

able to get child

52:06

support by a faking

52:08

that and and Convincing her

52:10

husband that he was the

52:12

father or her boyfriend that

52:14

he was the father when

52:16

he wasn't but I would

52:18

say any man who is

52:20

concerned about his paternity Should

52:22

get more than one test

52:24

and get them done at

52:26

different labs now after knowing

52:28

that because that just that

52:31

that fucked me up a

52:33

little bit. I'm like even

52:35

even a paternity test doesn't

52:37

prove anymore. The

52:39

fact. Right. Right. Go

52:42

ahead. Well, if

52:45

women can get men to pay

52:47

for 18 years of child support, I

52:50

think $250 of that money

52:52

can maybe go towards a test.

52:55

Yeah, right. Right. Yeah, go on. What

52:57

are you going to say? You would

52:59

think so. And so,

53:01

you know, I've heard and

53:04

I've often been on

53:06

the very side of the

53:08

idea of DNA testing

53:10

at birth, right? Because

53:14

it just removes all

53:16

doubt. And I

53:18

still... Now it doesn't. That's

53:21

the thing. Now it

53:23

doesn't. Now it doesn't end.

53:26

But there is the other

53:28

thing to think about,

53:30

which is, well, then... these

53:32

people, once you give them

53:34

your DNA, anyone who's done DNA

53:36

testing just to see what

53:38

their bloodline is, they

53:40

tell you in the paperwork

53:43

that you signed that

53:45

they now own your DNA.

53:48

They own that,

53:50

what you

53:52

give them. So

53:54

it's got to

53:56

be rewritten just

53:58

like we need.

54:01

a fucking law, we

54:03

need a set of

54:05

laws for the internet,

54:07

right? Like it's long

54:10

overdue. Yeah, well, here's

54:12

how that works, right? We

54:15

had a set

54:17

of laws created under

54:19

the guise of

54:21

protecting people's intellectual property,

54:24

right? And a set of

54:26

laws created under the

54:28

guise of preventing monopolistic

54:31

actions and a set

54:34

of laws created under

54:36

the guise of preventing

54:38

the use of vexatious

54:40

litigation to harass business

54:42

entities and private entities

54:45

over this business disputes

54:47

and stuff like that

54:49

and those that combination

54:51

of laws now gets

54:53

used to allow big

54:56

corporate monopolies to steal

54:58

the intellectual property of

55:00

Individual citizens and then

55:02

use vexatious litigation to

55:05

prevent them from getting

55:07

it back or getting

55:09

any money for it

55:11

like when you rely

55:13

on government to make

55:16

the determination of these

55:18

things and to Be

55:20

your protector in in

55:22

regard to these things

55:24

what you end up

55:27

doing is empowering whoever

55:29

can pay politicians the

55:31

most money and whoever

55:33

can get big enough

55:36

to afford the most

55:38

lawyers and the most

55:40

powerful lawyers and manipulate

55:42

the court system the

55:44

most, you allow them

55:47

to crush the little

55:49

guy pretty much. So

55:51

the better thing actually

55:53

is for the internet

55:55

to be a wild

55:58

frontier. and for

56:00

like obviously if you know

56:02

there's already laws against things

56:04

like raping killing pillaging and

56:06

burning right you can't you

56:09

can't steal from people you

56:11

can't break into somebody's house

56:13

and kill them without repercussions

56:15

you get caught those things

56:17

are already real and We

56:19

already have means of handling

56:22

um defamation we already have

56:24

means of handling if somebody

56:26

uh harasses you using the

56:28

police and so on we

56:30

already have means of handling

56:33

that so we don't really

56:35

need new laws we just

56:37

need proper enforcement of existing

56:39

law right right somebody shows

56:41

up on your doorstep you

56:44

should be able to call

56:46

the police and uh they

56:48

they enforce the law they

56:50

arrest that person you file

56:52

trespassing charges and it's done

56:54

and over with um but

56:57

Instead we have all these people

56:59

all you shouldn't be able to

57:01

say this or do this or

57:03

or sell this or whatever on

57:05

the internet As long as it's

57:07

not illegal to sell it on

57:09

a street corner or in a

57:12

store or in your house It

57:14

shouldn't be illegal to sell it

57:16

on the internet either and if

57:18

it already is illegal Then the

57:20

fact that it took place on

57:22

the internet shouldn't change anything and

57:24

that's that's all that's needed right

57:26

there And with regard to DNA

57:28

testing and everything, intellectual

57:30

property laws existing already

57:32

are the problem. You

57:35

can't copyright something if copyright doesn't

57:37

exist. You can't

57:39

steal somebody's health information

57:41

if you don't have

57:43

the government to back

57:45

you in denying them

57:48

a right to copy

57:50

it and keep their

57:52

own copy. Honestly,

57:56

I think that less

57:59

law rather than more law

58:01

is needed here. And

58:03

the only thing that

58:05

really should exist in this

58:07

area is the DNA

58:09

sequencing I had done was

58:11

not through 23andMe and

58:13

stuff like that. It was

58:15

through a company called

58:17

Sequencing, which you can get

58:19

23andMe family stuff through

58:22

them. I didn't go and

58:24

do that. I went

58:26

to healthcare end of

58:28

it and you know

58:30

they have to abide

58:33

by HIPAA laws. So

58:35

if for instance

58:38

somebody is looking for

58:40

their ancestry, my

58:42

results don't come up

58:44

on their search. So

58:48

I'm not gonna have some

58:50

stranger approach me and be

58:52

like hey, I'm your second

58:54

cousin twice removed from this

58:56

such and such because they

58:58

won't get my information and

59:00

That's I wanted that Privacy

59:02

because that's that's my information

59:04

doesn't belong to everybody else.

59:06

You know I'm fine with

59:08

the fact that genealogy is

59:11

public Like you can you

59:13

can get on ancestry .com

59:15

and and look up family

59:17

members and stuff like that

59:19

and That's all birth certificates

59:21

on all that. That's you

59:23

know, people can find that

59:25

but They won't randomly run

59:27

across me in it and

59:29

at the same time if

59:31

The the cops decide to

59:34

send some DNA they picked

59:36

up some random DNA they

59:38

picked up And to 23

59:40

and me and get

59:42

a result and use that to

59:44

find suspects. They're not going to

59:46

because I had a medical DNA

59:48

test. Go through my

59:51

whole family and look for people

59:53

in my family that might have

59:55

some connection to the individual who

59:57

left that DNA. And

59:59

that was a worry

1:00:01

for me because we've done

1:00:03

reports on stories where

1:00:05

people have been wrongly accused

1:00:08

Because their DNA was this

1:00:10

much or that much of

1:00:12

a match and it turns

1:00:15

out that Not only did

1:00:17

they not commit the crime,

1:00:19

but the person who did

1:00:21

wasn't even part of their

1:00:23

immediate family Yeah, I Mean

1:00:26

I think there are there

1:00:28

are exceptions to the rule

1:00:30

of of you

1:00:32

know, knowing your parentage,

1:00:34

right? Like if for medical

1:00:37

reasons, obviously, if there

1:00:39

are, you know, if

1:00:41

you have a family

1:00:44

history of a certain medical

1:00:46

disease, then I believe

1:00:48

that the child should know

1:00:50

that, right? Like because... the

1:00:53

doctors are gonna be just

1:00:55

sitting there like well, I don't

1:00:57

know what's wrong with you

1:00:59

I kind of do you have

1:01:02

a history and all the

1:01:04

child can say is I don't

1:01:06

know they may not even

1:01:08

know that they were a product

1:01:10

of You know like a

1:01:12

donation right like a sperm donation

1:01:14

Well, it's a good example

1:01:17

for you even even if you

1:01:19

don't have known

1:01:21

family history of something. The

1:01:24

way the insurance

1:01:26

companies handle diagnoses like

1:01:28

Ehlers -Danlos, for instance,

1:01:32

I went in, you know, I

1:01:34

talked to my doctor about a

1:01:36

certain set of health considerations I

1:01:38

was having and he started looking

1:01:40

at at Ehlers -Danlos after ruling out

1:01:42

a bunch of other things like

1:01:44

a shitload of other things and

1:01:47

So then then I go to

1:01:49

this genetic counselor and I

1:01:51

have to go to the genetic

1:01:53

counselor because my insurance company

1:01:55

will not pay for genetic testing

1:01:58

unless the genetic counselor agrees

1:02:00

that I need tested for that

1:02:02

one specific disorder and so

1:02:04

I go in and I talk

1:02:06

to him and Nobody in

1:02:09

my family has this diagnosis But

1:02:11

you can go back through

1:02:13

one side of my family And

1:02:16

there's a direct line

1:02:18

of people with the same

1:02:20

symptoms right and All

1:02:22

of them would have met

1:02:25

what's called the bite

1:02:27

and score criteria for for

1:02:29

being tested and Being

1:02:31

potentially diagnosed every single one

1:02:34

of them And at

1:02:36

least one individual for for

1:02:38

Marfan's as well, but

1:02:40

in any case and it's

1:02:42

it's it's a disorder

1:02:45

that usually hits people that

1:02:47

are tall but there's

1:02:49

a short person in my

1:02:51

family like really short

1:02:54

who had the symptoms so

1:02:56

it's it's not unique

1:02:58

to tall people and it's

1:03:00

not unique to people

1:03:02

of certain ethnic backgrounds and

1:03:05

stuff like that and

1:03:07

and so on it's um

1:03:09

it's actually peppered a

1:03:11

lot more broadly in the

1:03:14

population than people think. And

1:03:17

the diagnosis is actually increasing because

1:03:19

people are actually able to get

1:03:21

their DNA tested for it now.

1:03:24

But in any case, this

1:03:27

guy did...

1:03:29

His bedside manner

1:03:31

sucked. And

1:03:34

he immediately didn't like

1:03:36

me. And it was

1:03:38

immediately obvious enough that even I

1:03:40

could tell. And...

1:03:42

So he had this sort of

1:03:44

stiff mannerism toward me and then denied

1:03:46

me the test, which is why

1:03:48

I went to this other company, which

1:03:50

was interesting because I basically paid, you

1:03:53

know, somewhat more than

1:03:55

what my copay would have

1:03:57

been for the testing

1:03:59

had I gone through the

1:04:01

medical system that my

1:04:03

insurance paid for. And

1:04:05

I got a shit ton more information

1:04:07

than I would have gotten if I had

1:04:10

gone that way. But But

1:04:13

yeah, you have to go

1:04:15

through this whole weird process. The

1:04:17

insurance company won't pay for

1:04:20

the test if you don't get

1:04:22

approval from this specialist who

1:04:24

is basically just a nurse who

1:04:26

has some information on how

1:04:28

to determine this stuff and a

1:04:30

nurse with extra training, not

1:04:33

a doctor or anything like that.

1:04:35

And that can keep you

1:04:37

from getting your testing done too.

1:04:40

There's there there's so

1:04:43

much broken with our

1:04:45

society not and health

1:04:47

care is is One

1:04:49

of the major ones.

1:04:51

Yeah, right. Yeah, so

1:04:53

and in the meantime,

1:04:55

right? I'm

1:04:58

one of few women who may

1:05:00

have paid more into the tax

1:05:02

system than I got back Yeah,

1:05:04

you know because my I've been

1:05:06

the breadwinner in our family for

1:05:08

a years because

1:05:10

of the government taking

1:05:12

most of my

1:05:14

husband's money and giving

1:05:16

it away, right? So

1:05:20

Income he earned wasn't

1:05:22

going into our household for

1:05:24

quite a long time

1:05:26

and even now I get

1:05:28

more opportunity for overtime

1:05:30

than he does For paid

1:05:33

overtime anyway than he

1:05:35

does and so I'm

1:05:37

still making it plus,

1:05:39

you know I do

1:05:41

get the the honey

1:05:43

badger radio income although

1:05:45

I'm kind of spending

1:05:47

more than I'm making

1:05:49

So when you add

1:05:51

up everything that it

1:05:53

costs me to make

1:05:55

sure I'm able to

1:05:57

do this But you

1:05:59

know on paper like

1:06:01

I'm paying the bulk

1:06:03

of our taxes and

1:06:06

So I'm paying for this

1:06:08

shit that we're reading

1:06:10

about in this article and

1:06:12

I couldn't even get

1:06:14

my medical care covered. And

1:06:16

I couldn't pay for my medical care. So I had

1:06:19

to save up to get this DNA test. So

1:06:22

that's the reason that I

1:06:24

did this, that I got that

1:06:26

DNA test done. It was

1:06:28

literally because my avenues, you

1:06:31

know, why would, by having to pay

1:06:33

for something Pay to

1:06:35

be told that I can't

1:06:37

get medical care basically pay

1:06:39

to be denied access to

1:06:41

medical care That mandate is

1:06:43

bullshit and If that mandate

1:06:45

didn't exist, you know, maybe

1:06:47

maybe I wouldn't have medical

1:06:49

insurance But at the other

1:06:51

end of it, you know,

1:06:53

maybe I'd have been able

1:06:55

to put more money into

1:06:57

medical savings which has worked

1:06:59

out way better for me

1:07:01

because There isn't an

1:07:03

entity that I have to

1:07:06

go through that that says

1:07:08

well You personally don't need

1:07:10

this health care and therefore

1:07:12

we're not gonna pay

1:07:14

for it and I've had

1:07:16

that a bunch of times

1:07:19

my family history Includes colon

1:07:21

cancer and I'm almost I've

1:07:23

almost aged out of the

1:07:25

danger zone for women in

1:07:27

my family which is weird

1:07:30

thing to say at 50

1:07:32

-52. I

1:07:35

mean, you should have been dead 30

1:07:37

years ago, right? Right. So nothing

1:07:39

even matters anymore. You're a fucking

1:07:41

goddess, I know. Technically, yes. Yeah,

1:07:44

technically, I'm immortal so far,

1:07:47

right? So far. But

1:07:50

in my

1:07:52

family, the youngest person

1:07:54

that I knew personally that had it

1:07:56

died when she was 28. and

1:08:00

That's what happens to the

1:08:02

women and like the men don't

1:08:05

don't get hit with it

1:08:07

till they're over 50 the women

1:08:09

Usually get hit with it

1:08:11

before they're 50 and my my

1:08:13

grandma on my dad's side

1:08:15

passed away at 49 so I'm

1:08:18

older than she ever got

1:08:20

to be and So I

1:08:22

went in to talk to my doctor about

1:08:24

it when I was in my 20s and like,

1:08:26

oh, well, we're gonna get some baseline information

1:08:28

here and they start, you know, we're gonna do

1:08:30

this test and we're gonna, you know, blah,

1:08:32

blah, the insurance company's like, no, she's too young.

1:08:36

So, you know, we did this whole thing,

1:08:38

sent them all the history, sent

1:08:40

them, you know, like my

1:08:42

cousin had just passed away

1:08:44

from this at 28. And,

1:08:48

you know, my doctor wrote this whole

1:08:50

thing up. Of this is this is

1:08:52

the risk in this family. Oh, no,

1:08:54

no, no, she's too young. We don't

1:08:56

we don't approve We won't pay you

1:08:58

can't get this done and You know,

1:09:00

I'm like what do you mean? I

1:09:02

can't get this done. Well, I could

1:09:05

self -pay, right? Yeah, you

1:09:07

can self -pay, but it's this

1:09:09

much money Well, if I

1:09:11

didn't have insurance taking money

1:09:13

out of my pay and

1:09:15

I was putting that money

1:09:17

into a medical savings account

1:09:19

I would have it and

1:09:21

I could do that but

1:09:23

Unfortunately at that time I

1:09:25

didn't have the thousands of

1:09:27

dollars it was gonna take

1:09:30

So I didn't get the

1:09:32

testing I didn't get the

1:09:34

information I didn't get to

1:09:36

find out until I was

1:09:38

over 35 That I'm not

1:09:40

at risk So I had

1:09:42

a good Almost almost ten

1:09:44

years of being paranoid about

1:09:46

it lot

1:09:49

of stress because you know

1:09:51

that was it's a really

1:09:53

awful thing to have happen

1:09:56

to you honestly I don't

1:09:58

even want to describe it

1:10:00

but but yeah so we

1:10:02

have this situation men face

1:10:04

this quite a bit right

1:10:07

where they go and do

1:10:09

get medical treatment and they

1:10:11

get treated like uh, they're,

1:10:13

they're drug seeking or they're

1:10:16

whining or, you know, well,

1:10:18

you don't need time off

1:10:20

for this or we don't

1:10:22

have to take this too

1:10:24

seriously, right? I

1:10:27

can deal with it. Why can't

1:10:29

you? Yeah. Or, you know, in the

1:10:31

meantime, they're responsible

1:10:33

for their family financially. Um,

1:10:36

many men are in

1:10:38

a position of not only

1:10:40

are they, uh, forced to

1:10:43

have insurance through their employer, So

1:10:46

there's a big chunk being taken out of their check

1:10:48

for that. But they're

1:10:50

also forced to pay

1:10:52

separately for insurance for

1:10:54

their ex and their

1:10:56

children or just their

1:10:58

children. And then

1:11:00

on top of that, they're paying

1:11:02

child support. And some

1:11:04

judges are making men pay other expenses.

1:11:06

Oh well, she needs a babysitter so you

1:11:08

gotta pay for that too. She needs

1:11:11

this, you gotta pay for that too. The

1:11:13

child is in 16

1:11:15

stupid little activities that the

1:11:17

mother thinks will make

1:11:20

the child a more well

1:11:22

-rounded adult. And

1:11:24

so you have to

1:11:26

pay for the child's

1:11:28

underwater basket weaving lessons

1:11:30

and, you know, ballet

1:11:33

for toddlers and shit like

1:11:35

that. The toddlers that

1:11:37

are never going to pursue dance

1:11:39

after they get out of elementary

1:11:41

school. And

1:11:44

so these guys are

1:11:46

strapped and then the doctor

1:11:49

says well, you know,

1:11:51

it's about time you get

1:11:53

a baseline in your

1:11:55

testing for this disorder or

1:11:57

that event that happens

1:12:00

in men's lives on a

1:12:02

regular basis like colon

1:12:04

cancer testing or prostate exams

1:12:06

or any little thing

1:12:09

that gets

1:12:11

monitored, you know, oh, you

1:12:13

have a family history of heart

1:12:15

health problems, we should double

1:12:17

check and make sure that you

1:12:20

don't have this specific type

1:12:22

of arrhythmia that your father has,

1:12:24

you know, or things like

1:12:26

that. And

1:12:28

they can't afford it. It's

1:12:30

gonna cost this much copay. Oh,

1:12:33

well, I don't have that money, right?

1:12:37

Well, you know, we can't do the testing

1:12:39

until you pay. Let's pay the day to

1:12:41

get the testing done. And

1:12:43

they're paying taxes

1:12:45

to pay for

1:12:47

abortions in foreign

1:12:49

countries. So

1:12:51

according to the article, Republican

1:12:53

lawmakers are moving to prevent

1:12:55

US foreign aid dollars from

1:12:57

unlawfully promoting abortion abroad after

1:13:00

the Biden administration used critical

1:13:02

HIV and AIDS relief money

1:13:04

to do so. They

1:13:06

love that fucking word unlawfully.

1:13:09

No, yeah, that's illegally

1:13:11

they will wed that

1:13:14

shit in there Anywhere

1:13:16

they can no matter

1:13:18

whether it fits or

1:13:20

is even accurate Yeah,

1:13:23

yeah unlawful is It's

1:13:25

it almost feels like

1:13:27

a ways a word

1:13:29

they are breaking the

1:13:32

law it's unlawful. It's

1:13:34

illegal. It's it's

1:13:36

a violation

1:13:38

Yeah And

1:13:41

so what do we have going

1:13:43

on here? We're

1:13:46

supporting initiatives

1:13:49

to reduce

1:13:51

HIV and

1:13:54

AIDS worldwide.

1:13:58

I mean, it came to

1:14:00

the United States via

1:14:02

travelers from foreign countries. There's

1:14:04

actually a reason why we

1:14:06

want to reduce it worldwide. reducing

1:14:09

it worldwide will reduce

1:14:11

it here. And it'll

1:14:13

reduce the chances of it

1:14:15

coming back once it gets

1:14:17

down to, you know, a

1:14:20

point where it's rare or

1:14:22

eliminated. They're

1:14:24

taking money away from

1:14:26

that and using it

1:14:29

for abortion, which does

1:14:31

absolutely nothing to reduce

1:14:33

transmission, right? Maybe

1:14:36

a child won't be born

1:14:38

with it. but the adult that

1:14:40

that infected the child with

1:14:42

it, the fetus with it, still

1:14:44

has it and is still

1:14:46

having sex. So

1:14:49

Senator Mike Lee from Utah

1:14:51

and Representative Warren Davidson from

1:14:53

Ohio, both Republicans, are introducing

1:14:55

legislation in each chamber, the

1:14:57

Aid Accountability Act of 2025

1:14:59

to create harsh penalties for

1:15:02

NGOs and federal employees

1:15:04

who violate the Helms Amendment,

1:15:06

a 1973 law banning

1:15:08

foreign assistance money from going

1:15:10

towards abortion. The

1:15:12

national review has learned.

1:15:14

So this will basically

1:15:17

prevent you from being

1:15:19

taxed to pay for

1:15:21

abortion, regardless of what

1:15:23

the the NGOs platform

1:15:25

is. They can

1:15:27

say anything from We

1:15:30

go into foreign countries and

1:15:32

help with family planning, which

1:15:35

is an umbrella abortion would fall

1:15:37

under. We

1:15:39

go into foreign countries and help

1:15:41

with crime prevention, which is an

1:15:43

umbrella that you'd have to stretch

1:15:45

pretty big to get abortion under

1:15:47

it. They

1:15:50

still are not

1:15:52

allowed to use your

1:15:54

money to abort

1:15:56

children in other countries.

1:16:00

It is illegal and immoral

1:16:02

for the US government to

1:16:04

fund abortion abroad Federal funding

1:16:06

for groups that promote abortion

1:16:09

damages our credibility and hurts

1:16:11

our ability to work with

1:16:13

nations to share pro -life values

1:16:15

Davidson said in a statement

1:16:17

to national review and an

1:16:19

interesting thing historically Nations that

1:16:21

are predominantly Catholic for instance

1:16:24

don't get along with the

1:16:26

idea of having

1:16:28

abortion paid for in their countries.

1:16:31

Now, you know, historically, the

1:16:33

nations that are predominantly Catholic don't like

1:16:35

us sending them birth control pills

1:16:37

either, you know, or condoms or anything

1:16:39

like that. And I

1:16:41

guess the messaging is

1:16:44

changing in the Catholic Church

1:16:46

now, and it's going

1:16:48

through a evolution in

1:16:50

regard to that stuff. But,

1:16:53

you know, that may not be

1:16:55

permanent. the

1:16:58

members of the Catholic Church

1:17:01

may decide that they're not

1:17:03

going to support that worldwide.

1:17:06

And there are other

1:17:08

religious groups that don't

1:17:10

really support the idea

1:17:12

of abortion, that that

1:17:15

religion may dominate some

1:17:17

countries. There are

1:17:19

also other reasons why Even

1:17:22

a nation that is

1:17:24

it doesn't necessarily have

1:17:26

a moral imperative to

1:17:28

avoid abortion May may

1:17:30

not like it being

1:17:32

promoted in their country

1:17:34

one of the things

1:17:36

that we talked about

1:17:38

in a couple of

1:17:40

episodes was just how

1:17:42

much foreign aid organizations

1:17:44

in the United States

1:17:47

were targeting Africa with

1:17:49

prevention of reproduction and sterilization

1:17:52

of men in fact

1:17:54

and Not just abortion So

1:17:56

we're looking at you

1:17:58

know, what is what is

1:18:01

actually being done there

1:18:03

is that a It's not

1:18:05

is it not just

1:18:07

a prevention of poverty growth,

1:18:10

but a prevention of

1:18:12

population growth for other reasons

1:18:14

Yeah So there's

1:18:16

some very serious questions

1:18:19

that need to be

1:18:21

answered before we even

1:18:23

consider approving of promoting

1:18:25

these types of things

1:18:27

in foreign nations. But

1:18:31

the Aid Accountability Act

1:18:33

ensures real consequences for those

1:18:35

who ignore the Helms

1:18:37

Amendment by permanently banning nonprofits

1:18:39

caught using federal funds

1:18:42

for abortion. So they use

1:18:44

those funds To

1:18:46

promote abortion they can

1:18:48

never get federal funding again

1:18:50

Further it would ban

1:18:53

federal workers from civil service

1:18:55

who knowingly violate the

1:18:57

law so if you Violate

1:18:59

the law you go

1:19:01

into a foreign country and

1:19:04

you promote this as

1:19:06

part of your Service in

1:19:08

another country You're fired

1:19:10

and you cannot You cannot

1:19:13

get another job in

1:19:15

government It's

1:19:19

basically you're out of the industry

1:19:21

because that government is an industry.

1:19:24

So only by restoring accountability it

1:19:26

says to foreign aid can we

1:19:28

hope to restore trust in the

1:19:30

State Department. So this last

1:19:32

bit here, can we help to restore

1:19:34

trust in the State Department? In

1:19:36

my opinion, we shouldn't have trust in

1:19:38

the State Department. We should be

1:19:41

watching it just like every other bit

1:19:43

of the federal bureaucracy, like

1:19:45

a hawk, like a hawk

1:19:47

that is just as hungry

1:19:49

as can possibly be and

1:19:51

is looking for mice in

1:19:53

the agency or are slightly

1:19:55

larger animals but you know

1:19:57

it's still fair for them

1:19:59

to say certainly we can't

1:20:02

restore trust without doing this.

1:20:05

Davidson a hardline member of

1:20:07

the foreign The House Foreign

1:20:09

Affairs Committee is hoping to

1:20:12

increase accountability to foreign aid

1:20:14

programs after the State Department

1:20:16

recently admitted to using PEPFAR

1:20:18

funds. We did talk a

1:20:20

little bit about PEPFAR to

1:20:22

promote abortion. PEPFAR is the

1:20:24

U .S. Global Health Care Plan

1:20:26

to combat HIV, and AIDS

1:20:28

worldwide, and is considered one

1:20:30

of the most successful governmental programs

1:20:32

in recent American history. For years,

1:20:34

American tax dollars have gone to

1:20:36

foreign aid efforts that promote abortion

1:20:38

and direct violation of the Helms

1:20:41

Amendment, Lisa said in a statement.

1:20:43

This is largely because there have been

1:20:46

no real penalties for this grievous

1:20:48

abuse until now. Our legislation

1:20:50

permanently cuts aid off from any

1:20:52

organizations. which violate

1:20:54

abortion prohibition and permanently fires any

1:20:56

federal employee who knowingly facilitates

1:20:58

it. So that confirms what I

1:21:01

said. They're fired, they're out,

1:21:03

and they can't come back. So

1:21:06

this part just repeats

1:21:09

what we read before,

1:21:11

but they do have

1:21:14

a list, and

1:21:16

this is mostly on

1:21:18

one side of

1:21:20

the political aisle here.

1:21:22

Chris Smith, New

1:21:24

Jersey Republican representative, is

1:21:27

the one who obtained

1:21:29

the list, the extensive list

1:21:31

of the left -wing nonprofits

1:21:33

that partnered with PEPFAR

1:21:35

that actively promote abortion, shows

1:21:38

that $1 .3 billion

1:21:40

went to the collection

1:21:42

of over two dozen

1:21:44

organizations in fiscal years

1:21:46

2021 and 2022 combined. And

1:21:50

so they had

1:21:53

They had that much

1:21:55

funding that we

1:21:57

don't know how much

1:21:59

of it was

1:22:01

was dedicated to abortion

1:22:03

Then let's see

1:22:05

Of course the alarm

1:22:07

was raised by

1:22:09

pro -life organizations Here

1:22:11

we have Confirmation

1:22:15

of the earlier statement

1:22:17

about this this this actually

1:22:19

affects our foreign relations

1:22:21

African lawmakers and religious leaders

1:22:23

have criticized the US

1:22:25

for attempting to weaponize PEPFAR

1:22:27

funding to advance pro -abortion

1:22:29

agenda on foreign countries

1:22:31

with different sets of values

1:22:33

This is something that

1:22:35

I had had been kind

1:22:38

of unaware of until

1:22:40

social media spread around the

1:22:42

world and when

1:22:44

I started getting more and

1:22:46

more connections in Africa and

1:22:48

listening to what they had

1:22:51

to say, abortion

1:22:53

is really kind of

1:22:55

a foreign idea to

1:22:57

them. This isn't

1:22:59

something that, you know, the African

1:23:01

women were just clamoring for

1:23:03

the right to kill their babies

1:23:05

before they were born, and

1:23:07

American heroes came in and saved

1:23:09

the day. We're

1:23:11

not Mighty Mouse. It

1:23:14

in in fact This

1:23:16

was a horror that has

1:23:18

been visited upon communities

1:23:20

that are often deeply religious

1:23:22

Not necessarily always Christian

1:23:24

But some of them are

1:23:26

some of them are

1:23:29

Muslim some of them are

1:23:31

older To the the

1:23:33

area religions that didn't come

1:23:35

in and evangelize them

1:23:37

to one or another of

1:23:39

the Abrahamic religions that

1:23:41

uh that are starting to

1:23:43

dominate the continent now

1:23:45

and in even their older

1:23:47

um cultures abortion wasn't

1:23:49

something that they would have

1:23:51

said hey yeah we

1:23:54

desperately want to be able

1:23:56

to do this we

1:23:58

just we just need you

1:24:00

to come in here

1:24:02

and provide us with the

1:24:04

means uh instead it

1:24:06

was it was a kind

1:24:08

of It's the

1:24:10

kind of thing that you're

1:24:12

like it's just like the

1:24:15

When Thomas Paine wrote can't

1:24:17

think of what it was

1:24:19

called modest proposal It's like

1:24:21

the proposal that you eat

1:24:23

your children to avoid starvation

1:24:25

And a famine it's just

1:24:27

as much of a taboo

1:24:29

violation for for some of

1:24:31

the people that it's been

1:24:33

visited upon and So they

1:24:35

were not happy to be

1:24:37

receiving this and they were

1:24:40

not happy to see their

1:24:42

children talked into it as

1:24:44

they got into their Reproductive

1:24:46

years. They were not happy

1:24:48

to see their friends and

1:24:50

family Buying into these ideas

1:24:52

Instead they were horrified that

1:24:54

this was spreading around their

1:24:56

country and so it's it's

1:24:58

actually been considered to be

1:25:00

a moral corruption inflicted instead

1:25:02

of a rescue from problems

1:25:05

they were having Richard

1:25:10

Bier gave us $5 and said something

1:25:12

to look into is just what kind

1:25:14

of mineral resources and demand happen to

1:25:16

be prevalent in the areas where these

1:25:18

sterilizations campaigns are being pushed. Unrelated,

1:25:21

erectile dysfunction can be treated with

1:25:23

diet and exercise. The hardest part

1:25:25

is getting the wife to diet

1:25:27

and exercise. Yeah,

1:25:33

that's true. But yeah, that is a good point. are

1:25:36

these organizations going in

1:25:39

there and reducing the population

1:25:41

growth of certain areas

1:25:43

where mineral resources are in

1:25:45

demand and then paving

1:25:47

the way for American businesses

1:25:50

to go in and

1:25:52

say, well, we'll harvest those

1:25:54

for you and sell

1:25:56

those for you for a

1:25:58

fee. We

1:26:01

get a little off the top, 90%.

1:26:06

Because that that is definitely

1:26:08

exploitation and it would

1:26:11

add that on top of

1:26:13

I mean when you

1:26:15

sterilize a group of people

1:26:17

based on their national

1:26:19

or their national origin That

1:26:21

would be considered a

1:26:23

genocide, right? You

1:26:26

you go in and you say

1:26:28

we're gonna we're gonna prevent this population

1:26:30

from being able to reproduce and

1:26:32

grow we're gonna interfere with

1:26:34

their natural

1:26:37

progress. That's

1:26:40

a quiet genocide. You're

1:26:43

not actively rounding them up into

1:26:45

camps. You're just

1:26:47

keeping them from reproducing.

1:26:55

So goes on. We ask

1:26:57

that PEPFAR remain true

1:26:59

to its original mission. and

1:27:01

respect our norms, traditions,

1:27:04

and values. In other

1:27:06

words, yeah, we don't want people

1:27:08

to die from AIDS. We

1:27:10

don't want you to start promoting

1:27:12

abortion here. We ask at

1:27:14

those partner organizations with whom the

1:27:16

US government partners to implement

1:27:18

PEPFAR programs in ways that are

1:27:20

cognizant and respectful of our

1:27:22

beliefs and not cross over into

1:27:24

promoting divisive ideas and practices

1:27:26

that are not consistent with those

1:27:28

of Africa. The African leaders

1:27:30

wrote in a June 2023 letter

1:27:32

to Congress. They

1:27:35

want help

1:27:37

preventing and treating

1:27:39

HIV and

1:27:41

AIDS. They don't

1:27:43

want abortion. So

1:27:46

it's not even

1:27:48

that we are helping

1:27:50

promote abortion. We're

1:27:52

inflicting it on them

1:27:54

against their will. Kind

1:27:59

of like circumcision a

1:28:01

yeah Yep, exactly like

1:28:03

circumcision actually Where we're

1:28:05

inflicting things on these

1:28:07

foreign countries at the

1:28:09

expense of men that

1:28:11

are abuses of the

1:28:13

people of that nation

1:28:15

and in in the

1:28:18

case of circumcision it

1:28:20

disproportionately affects men They're

1:28:22

not doing it to

1:28:24

girls. They're not promoting

1:28:26

doing it to girls.

1:28:28

They're promoting doing it

1:28:30

to boys, right? Abortion

1:28:32

also affects men Men

1:28:34

who want to be

1:28:36

fathers and expect to

1:28:38

be fathers are losing

1:28:40

their children to this

1:28:42

So this article is

1:28:44

From a couple of

1:28:46

weeks ago I identified

1:28:48

it shortly before the

1:28:51

last couple of episodes

1:28:53

and I'm still watching

1:28:55

to see You know

1:28:57

what if the further action has

1:28:59

been taken on this initiative, but

1:29:01

I'll keep you guys up to

1:29:03

date if they pass this and

1:29:05

and When it's gonna go into

1:29:07

law when it's gonna go into

1:29:09

effect and stuff what the votes

1:29:11

are but Yeah, this

1:29:14

is this is insane that

1:29:16

that we're doing this

1:29:18

that we're being taxed for

1:29:20

this and It's illegal

1:29:22

already. It's just not enforced

1:29:25

So what Republicans are basically

1:29:27

doing is saying we have

1:29:29

this 1973 law that says

1:29:31

you can't do this. This

1:29:34

is being done against the will

1:29:36

of the nations that it's being

1:29:38

done in. It is

1:29:40

interfering with our foreign

1:29:42

relations. We're going

1:29:44

to create a pathway

1:29:46

for enforcement in

1:29:48

order to stop these

1:29:50

problems. And

1:29:57

currently this is still

1:30:00

in debate They

1:30:02

have to debate this

1:30:04

We got to decide

1:30:06

whether or not to

1:30:08

enforce our own laws

1:30:11

To our benefit

1:30:13

and the benefit of

1:30:15

our citizens that we're

1:30:17

taxing to pay for

1:30:19

things that we're doing

1:30:22

illegally And that

1:30:24

is the article such

1:30:28

that our wandering

1:30:30

conversation had. Any

1:30:33

thoughts? You

1:30:38

awake, Lauren? I'm

1:30:43

awake, but I got disconnected for a

1:30:45

second. So,

1:30:49

no, I'm not

1:30:51

sure how to articulate my thoughts because I was disconnected

1:30:53

for a second. Lauren, you awake? Shit,

1:30:56

I think we knocked her out

1:30:58

with the article. It's a good

1:31:00

thing. Yeah, I can hear movement,

1:31:02

but but even though I don't

1:31:04

have any thoughts There we go

1:31:06

So we do carry on yeah,

1:31:09

we did have a question isn't

1:31:11

it? Jail oh balls

1:31:13

asked isn't it? Have I been

1:31:15

disconnected again? No, you're not disconnected.

1:31:17

You're not oh shit. Can you

1:31:19

hear me? Uh

1:31:22

-oh. I think Mike can't hear

1:31:24

me, but I can hear him.

1:31:26

Let me type that into our

1:31:28

chat. Okay. Yeah, no, I can hear

1:31:30

you hear me? Okay, okay. Okay,

1:31:32

good. No, it's... It's

1:31:35

getting spotty, is

1:31:37

all. Yeah. That's

1:31:39

not good. Well, it's probably because

1:31:41

the weather here has been a

1:31:43

little weird. Normally, this time of

1:31:45

year, we have a little bit of rain. It

1:31:50

would get a lot

1:31:52

of rain in April, but

1:31:54

it's not usually this

1:31:56

cold and we've had like

1:31:58

a lot of electrical

1:32:00

storms and flooding because of

1:32:02

the weird weather we

1:32:04

had this year. This is

1:32:06

one of those years

1:32:08

in the in the Dueling

1:32:11

cycles that happen we

1:32:13

have the the Sun temperature

1:32:15

cycle where it creates

1:32:17

more heat in this air

1:32:19

this area and then less

1:32:21

heat at other times

1:32:24

and it's like a 25

1:32:26

year cycle with a

1:32:28

peak and a valley within

1:32:30

that 25 year cycle

1:32:32

that are like opposite to

1:32:34

each other and then

1:32:36

there's I think the nine

1:32:38

year cycles for El

1:32:40

Niño and La Niña that

1:32:42

also affect our weather

1:32:44

and when those sink up

1:32:46

in particular ways you

1:32:49

get Years where

1:32:51

the weather is particularly unusual

1:32:53

and I think this

1:32:55

is one of those years.

1:32:57

It's been one of

1:32:59

those years And I think

1:33:01

sometimes that can have

1:33:04

an effect So because our

1:33:06

our internet's been really

1:33:08

weird this year like we've

1:33:10

had good service this

1:33:12

one of the things actually

1:33:14

that I I spend

1:33:16

Over there the weather is

1:33:22

Apparently killing, killing Mike's microphone.

1:33:25

Crap. Well, I'm

1:33:27

currently in Scotland.

1:33:30

Yeah. The weather is as cold as

1:33:32

it normally is in Scotland, but only

1:33:34

April sort of weather. I

1:33:37

mean, I don't know if you can hear

1:33:39

anything I'm saying right now. Yes, I can

1:33:41

hear you. We just, you

1:33:43

got cut off there for a minute though. Yeah,

1:33:47

that's apparently going to

1:33:49

happen. Not just because

1:33:51

I'm in Scotland, but

1:33:53

because I'm in a utility

1:33:55

room that's located some

1:33:57

15 meters from, uh, from

1:33:59

the, from the router. Yeah,

1:34:02

that'll do it too. If you're

1:34:04

far away, there's no problem, but

1:34:06

apparently it is, it is right

1:34:08

now. Um, but I have

1:34:10

to be here so that my parents,

1:34:12

yeah, Scotland for the past two and a

1:34:14

half weeks, folks, in case you didn't

1:34:16

know, uh, that's, that's why things

1:34:18

have been a bit. different. I

1:34:20

have to do this from

1:34:23

the utility room, so in

1:34:25

these witching hours in which

1:34:27

I do these things. Yeah.

1:34:30

Yeah. Otherwise, you'd keep the whole house awake. Now,

1:34:33

for me, it's not that bad. I

1:34:35

hope any of you heard anything I just

1:34:37

said. Yeah, we heard you. We heard

1:34:39

you. Yes. Yeah.

1:34:41

For me, it's not that bad. Usually,

1:34:43

I'm actually just a few feet away

1:34:45

from the router. And

1:34:47

I'm paying for

1:34:49

the business level

1:34:52

of both the

1:34:54

wired internet and

1:34:56

wireless. Just because
