Low Metabolism Leads to War With Iran (THINGS HIDDEN 220)
01:13:50 Share

on Ted Cruz's level of blessing and cursing Israel on that interpretation. We have been doing it that way for so many decades, going to every war that their leadership wants us to go to, right?

And it has not brought any blessings. It's brought, like you said, corn on the cob for everybody, depression, you know, lack of empathy, right? Lack of character, people punching each other out and being more vicious and nasty and violent here domestically, confused.

bankrupt, inflated with our currency, no productivity, all of our squandered resources for Iraq and Afghanistan, the Arab Spring, and God knows what else for the surveillance machine that we built after 9-11. It has not been a blessing. By any standard, there has been no blessing. ♪♪

I love you when I really don't know what to do. Why is it that we cannot have charismatic new stories created in the cinema industry anymore, sir? Why is it all sequels and spinoffs and, you know, is there a force that binds that away? They can't, they just literally can't do it.

It's because there's an infection of deconstructionism in the culture right now. So it's not just that they're putting out sequels, it's also that they're deconstructing the earlier movies with the sequels. So if you see the Ghostbusters movie that you were talking about, it's about deconstructing

patriarchy or whatever and like the idea that a bunch of dudes can get together and solve the problem and the deconstruction involves that it's not that men like men are not you know tasked with saving the country or the world women can do it too and you know like

the same with the Star Wars, you know, like if you watched, I know very few of you did, but if you watched the entire trilogy with the new one, the ending is basically giving a message that you don't have to belong to the actual Skywalker family to be considered the chosen one. And so this protagonist,

I forgot what her name is, but she, when somebody asks her at the end, what's your name? And she says Skywalker, you know, to put that message forward because she's not related to the Skywalker family or anything, but she, she is spiritually from the Skywalker family. Yeah. What do you think it does to a society that like, when you see that Mario movie that came out a few years ago, you know,

And you see Japanese traditional culture that Nintendo represents hitting a brick wall of Hollywood stupid to get access to the distribution of Hollywood at the level that a Super Mario movie would need to have. And so they team up with that group, Illumination or whatever, that does the, they do those movies like Minions, you know, and they made the Super Mario movie.

But you can see in that movie that you have some of Nintendo's traditional, like they're not so woke as they made Luigi Mario's brother black, right? You know, they didn't do that. But they had to be woke in the sense of, you know, that the princess was doing that same thing that, sir, you were talking about with Star Wars. Daisy, what's her name? Daisy?

And she comes Daisy Ridley, the actress, and she comes out of the package, just slaying everybody. She can defeat the final boss in the first 10 minutes of the first movie of the three. And, um, and that same thing goes on with Mario where he's trying to do the, um, obstacle course and he can never, he can never complete it. Right. And then he says, man, I don't know if I'm ever going to get this. And,

She says, oh, well, it took me some tries too. And then she's like, he's like, you're just lying to me. And she's like, well, yeah, it's true. I got it on the first time. And you look at that and then you look at reality. If you have a boy and a girl and you want to have them race, you know, if you have kids or close to the same age, the girl usually has to be given a head start.

I mean, boy, they get a few seconds to get a handicap to make it somewhat fair. And that's the reality that all those kids know and experience if they ever go to a playground or go outside in their backyard. They all know that.

But yet they're still being living in a movie world where there's this fantasy where Mario came and he can't finish the thing that he's designed. And Princess Peach, who was never the main character, just aces it in the first second by nature of being a female. So the question is, you know, how long will that kind of delusional bullshit continue in society, you know, before it just cracks and goes back down to reality?

It seems like it's a revolution waiting to happen. All you got to do is just make a really good movie that has just reality back into it. And I think if you do a really winsome movie with charm and adventure and all this, I think it will self-correct pretty quickly. It could in terms of mimetic cascades towards normalcy again. But of course, there's an ideological agenda to try to do something with Hollywood. Hollywood is kind of like a medicine they want to shove down people's throats, right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's a, I mean, that's an interesting thing to think about. But, you know, it's sort of a, what do you call it? Carry over from the Me Too movement, you know, feminism, and essentially what? You know, care for the victim, right? And, you know, I mean, you know, I think of it like this, man. It's like Christianity is sort of a double-edged sword, right? So there's the care for the victim aspect.

But then there's also sort of this ultra care for the victim, right? Like this, you know, Peter Till calls it like hyper Christianity, right? Yeah. So when you have a hyper Christianity, everybody who would have been considered a victim, right? That's women, the elderly and the disabled take leading roles, right? Or star positions, right? And who is considered the villain, right?

It's always a man, right? And so the man has a choice to either be good, right? And sort of care for the victim in a way that's not going to be domineering or, you know, subjugate or demanding or commanding, right? He has to be sort of clumsy or foolish or, you know, not quite

not quite, you know, not have a leadership role. Right? He has to sort of be, you know, kind of like, remember that show, Everybody Loves Raymond? Yeah. You know, you kind of got to be like him. You know, the...

the guy that is kind of very selfish. He's still kind of boyish. She's still kind of childlike. You know what I mean? He's a mama's boy. You know, everything is, you know, his mother knows best. You know, if my wife gets on my nerves, I'm going to go tell my mom, you know, um, you know, or, you know, or you have to be, um,

Like Mario, like I'm never going to get this right. You know, I got to get I have to have the woman to tell me, you know, all you have to do is just believe, you know, just have courage. You can do it. You know what I mean? So.

That's such a demoralizations campaign for, for young boys, you know, because it's like a psyop, you know, they're living, they're not living in the world we lived in where Mario was always the winner on your game. Their world is Mario is this loser who can't get it done, but, but he's a plucky little loser that somehow gets pulled across the finish line by courage or something, you know, which is just pretty self. It's like a, there's truth to it because people aren't perfect. So they're trying to emphasize that.

It's very female-coded, like you're not perfect, you're just as you are, and you can be dragged across the finish line if you love yourself and be true to thyself. Let's see, Christianity has... But this is also the flip side, right? Christianity has aided and abetted that. The West has aided and abetted that, right? And

That is the ultimate issue. Men have aided and abetted that. What would have happened if they made Super Mario because it's Japanese so it gets a little bit of a pass? Anime culture is very popular in America and it still has some traditional kind of

gender... It does, but Japanese culture has also been feminized. Yeah, I know. It has been completely defanged. But it's not to the same way of the hyper-Christianity of the West. I think it is. A lot of men in Japan commit suicide. No, I get it.

It's way worse in Japan because it's not, but it's not like you go girl feminism. It's literally like unrecoverable population. Yeah, I know. But I think, I think that the population decline is a bigger is has bigger forces behind it besides just their feminization of their men. That's because the, because the women, the women don't want to have children.

They say they don't want to be tied to a man. I've seen it in documentaries, bro. They control a lot. They control the home. When you watch, I don't watch anime, right? I watch Japanese shows. Even the girls talk disrespectful to their fathers. Now, when I was in Japan, back in my day, when I was in Japan and I went to various different cultures, I went to Tokyo, Kyoto. I lived amongst the people for weeks.

in their homes. And the Japanese family that I got to know in particular was a classic, you know, in my opinion, old school, what you would expect from old school America. The wife would come out and make these little baked eggs. They would cook them little, they would slice up these eggs in half and put some kind of sauce on top of it. And she'd bring that out as a tray and

And the husband would sit there and we'd sit on the tatami mats and watch Terminator 2. And then they'd say, what does this word mean, David? Holy shit.

I'd say it's a bad word. And they would say, Oh, they laugh. And then she'd come out and bring us some green tea or some stuff like that. That was some good times, but everybody was happy. That was, that was in 2003. I'm sure it's changed. Probably got degraded a lot since then, but yeah. Yeah. It's become worse because I watched a documentary where like alarming number of young men are dying alone in their homes and

And their bodies are not being found for months on end. I just know that Nintendo still makes Super Mario the hero. He doesn't make him a transgender. So it's not the same way as a West thing. Because that doesn't sell. Yeah.

That don't sell. You understand what I'm saying? There's a certain limit, right? It's just like with Disney. Disney might go a little far, but then they're kind of coming back. They're not going to make Mickey Mouse obese, are they? They ain't going to see the tickets. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? You think they can make an obese Mickey Mouse? That'd be cute, huh?

A little roly-poly? I mean, he used to be a little roly-poly back in the 1920s, didn't he? He was kind of like a beast. He was a little circle. Everything about him was a little, you know, he had the little teeny bopper stomach. Yeah. That was just because they were reflecting that bloat that you get when you're hungry because it was the 1920s. They had no food. They had dandelion soup.

They're just reflecting that. I think we're reading too much into it. Let's go back to Super Mario. What would happen if Super Mario movie came out and had a scene where Mario gave Princess Peach a five-second head start in a race and then just blew past her and won? If they just made the movie that way, everything's the same except they didn't have to subvert

the classic Mario saves Princess Peach dynamic? What if they just kept that intact? What would have happened in this country? Would it have been an outrage? I think it would have sold probably more tickets. I bet it would be a lot hotter product. It might be a little more controversial. What do you think really would happen in that? If they just went straightforward, conventional, just like reality is. Everybody on the schoolyard knows the average girl is going to get smoked in a race every

you know, to a boy of similar age or something. Yeah. Difficult to say. Yeah. Like, of course, we would assume it would sell much more than it did. But at the same time, remember a lot of these, the target audience is mostly millennials, right? The people who grew up playing video games are millennials. And millennials are... More than Gen Z? Yeah.

Gen Z, I mean, maybe, but Gen Z has already got that. They didn't see that classic Princess Peach saving Mario. They have the Mario that we see now. But the ones you're talking about, let's say the people who grew up playing those video games, they're very left-leaning. They had a beat out of them. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm telling you, man, it's, you know, like you said, the whole demoralization. Millennials, bro, we were really taught to believe that men are supposed to be. Well, shit, I don't want to get all psychological like you like to talk about psychology. I'm getting the reason why I'm getting that way is because. You're talking about psychology? No, no. I'm talking about like we were taught to be sort of.

sort of aloof and whatever, you know, but the reason why I think we were taught to be that way is like, if you want to get what you want, right, which is essentially as a boy or as a man, right, because let's take it back, right? We were the generation that was exposed to corn,

We were the generation that was exposed. You liked that band, huh? Is that where it all fell apart, that band? We were the generation that was exposed to hypersexuality. Did you like Creamed Corn or Corn on the Cob or what was your favorite? Don't derail me, bro. So look, because of that, right?

Our generation was also taught that, well, if you want to have that, you got to be subservient. You know, you got to kind of be, you know, you got to kind of be dumb. You know what I mean? So that you got to say the right thing. You got to do whatever she asks. That's certainly the case in the hip-hop culture, right? It's like, man, if you want to be smart like Shannon, you're going to be called Steve Urkel, right? That's right.

Were you ever called Steve Urkel, Shannon? No, I was never called Steve Urkel, but, you know, I'll take it. You got that Terrence Howard, that swag look. So we got to show this to Terrence, and he's going to like that. Hey, what's up, Terrence? What's up, brother? Swag out of this world, right? Do you see what I'm saying? Does that make sense, what I'm saying, or am I just –

Am I just kind of like, yeah, you're saying that they, they, the hip hop is a mind control by the powers establishment. And they did not want people to mate with high civilization attributes like intelligence, emotional control, cerebral reserved, slow to, you know,

They wanted all the opposite features. But why would the CIA want to invest in that? Why would they want to invest so heavily in that? And they first poisoned the black community with hip hop culture, psyop. And then they then they scaled it to the whole society and said, hey, if you want to be cool, you got to imitate this this type of degeneracy. Why would they want to do that?

It's the same, I mean, if you read Brave New World by Huxley, it depicts a society which is like the opposite of what we see in 1984, right? In 1984, you see a top-down brutal dictatorship, surveillance data and all of that. But in Brave New World, you see a sedated...

uh the society you know like who are drugged out society who are completely you know uh detached from reality and completely in in pleasure land you know so so much like like what you said about that hyper sexuality like uh if you like stare on the screen all the time and see the sexual act uh the incentive will be less for you to go out actually and try to uh

get yourself a woman or you know get married or whatever so if you have that kind of hyper drugged you know society there will be less resistance and there will be it will it's easier to control a drugged out society it's easier to have them memetically follow every you know step that you

That makes a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense. Now, I didn't think about that. What did you not think about there in particular? Well, he's saying like, you know, if you sedate the society, right, to the point to where, you know, they don't want anything else but the drug, right? So it's the corn. It's the marijuana. And corn's not healthy for you, by the way, because it's filled with lots of...

pesticides, Roundup, GMO, bioengineered. So I don't know what you're going on and on about that. They say that if you eat that native American blue corn, that it's healthier for you, but God knows what they put into that too. They probably hijacked Squanto a long time ago and put in all kinds of fish genetics as soon as they could into the corn and that one too. Oh yeah. They probably tore it. They probably tore Squanto up, bro. Squanto is done. It's

By the way, did I say Indian? Look at the Indians when they put up that... What was this? When Elon Musk put up that internet, high-speed internet? Starlink. Starlink in South America? That tribe? Right. That was bad corn, brother. That wasn't the blue corn, bro. Nobody was able to defend the tribe from the monkeys or anything at that point. Everybody went nuts.

So when you talk about the, I want to go back to another thing to add to it, the twin towers, how emasculating was that as a psyop, right? The symbol, I don't want to go Freudian, but I mean, there is something to it, right? I mean, the people who do this kind of stuff are into Freud stuff anyway. So they're trying to do this where you see these towers, these, you know, the never forget

The two towers, please forget the third tower, World Trade Center 7. Remember, that's the story. You know, never forget the two towers. Please forget the third tower, World Trade Center 7, that fell at freefall speed because of some fires. That had to have been for millennials, young men, I mean, coming of age, right? You're just about to hit teenage years or you're hitting teenage years there, and all of a sudden you see these –

you know, towers of masculine symbolism of, you know, economic power and so forth and all this just totally flattened. That's gotta be a psychologically terrorizing for a whole generation of trauma. You know, I wonder if the nine 11 thing was the thing that really kickstarted this millennial emasculation on Moss in America, at least.

And probably the world over by imitation of whatever the American tone and temperature was through culture, pop culture. It contributed significantly, but I think the starting point was back in the 90s or even before that. Yeah, it was degenerate stuff. Yeah.

Yeah, because in the 90s, but you also saw a lot of these things that we see with the movies and everything, the master shows. Remember that show Friends, very popular? Yeah. Friends, that was from the 90s, and that was hugely popular. Eric, could you do a Girardian deep dive analysis on the Friends show?

season yeah i'm doing one i'm doing one so uh so all of the male characters on that show were totally dumb or you know as shannon says uh reported uh so they were totally dumb and you can see also that same uh pattern in simpsons uh that show and you know what about rugrats rugrats was wholesome family entertainment right

But the dad was the same thing. The dad was the same thing. The mom, you know, what, what was the member? Uh, I didn't mean to cut you off short, but you, you, you remember what was the girls? What was the girls? What was the girl who had the mouth that was over here?

you know her mouth talking about rugrats yeah angelica angelica and the mom remember her mother yeah remember her mother yeah she was like a lawyer or a top lawyer yeah but they were kind of making fun of that weren't they a little bit of the busy mom like she was so busy they were they were making fun of it but you know it's it's that was the because that was the reality

Right. You had to have the you had to have the business mom, the mom who was on top. I have everything. They were making fun of that. They were making fun of feminism there. They were they were they may have been doing that. They may have been doing that. But I'm sure that most people in the 90s didn't catch it. Yeah. You understand, especially not the men. Yeah.

You know what I mean? And then they had that one weird mom who always had the gender symbol on it with the twins, you know, who was supposed to be, I thought that was kind of a satire on feminism too, a little bit of that character, but you know and then they had, you know, this, you know, what was interesting about that Rugrats too, is that that's a lot of people, you know, where they first encountered a cartoon where words like idiot and stupid were used very commonly in a children's program, you know?

And I remember Christian families would push back against watching Rugrats because they didn't like the way it normalized disrespect of parents and stuff like that. But when you look back at Rugrats now, it looks rather wholesome compared to the insanity of today. Yeah, and I didn't mean this, you know, and like with Everybody Loves Raymond, I didn't mean this, you know, because that was

Even though it was sort of subversive in the sense that the man was sort of childlike, it was still a family unit. Yeah. Right? You didn't see two men being together. You know what I mean? It was a husband and a wife, you know, raising children and everything. You know what I'm saying? But I liked the grandpa, the dad. Mm-hmm.

You know, with the missing hair on the top. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because it kind of, it kind of, it kind of, he was the reverse of his son, you know? He was the reverse of his son because he was always bashing the wife, you know what I'm saying? The mother, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not doing, you don't tell me what to do. Get out of my face. You know, make me a sandwich. You know what I mean? Whatever, whatever. But, you know, you could see those dynamics and, you know,

Certainly, I think in the early 2000s, you sort of witnessed things changing very fast. You know what I mean? Where sort of the whole idea of a woman being the leader outside of the home was the archetype or something. You know what I mean? Instead of being the controller of the economy inside the home, right? The controller of the hearth.

Right now, she's the controller of the hearth is like a it's like a slur. You can't say that word anywhere. Oh, I can't. You can't say the word hearth. OK, well, I just straight up patriarchal. OK, well, that sounds like people on it. Sounds like you put people in bonnets again, Shannon.

About the 9/11 thing, David, that you mentioned, what it, I don't mean to get too off topic here, but what it noticeably did is that it drove a big wedge between the left and the left's sympathy for third world militant groups. Because remember before that,

If one thing was very common, you would see leftist militant groups and Islamic militant groups allied together a lot during the, especially in the 70s and the 80s and all of that. So once 9-11 happened, that totally disappeared. What instead followed was

the 9-11, the attackers were looked at as the logical consequence of religion, patriarchy and so on. So the narrative was reframed

Well, like if you want a patriarchy, if you want a theocracy, if you want any of those things, you will most likely be like the hijackers that did 9-11. And that's why the liberal society must push back against traditional values and masculinity and all of that.

So that was how the narrative was framed after, and we millennials saw that. But I think 9-11 was also a very assault on men because beyond just those movies you guys have been talking about, because it's one thing to watch Rugrats or whatever, other movies, and say, oh, it's been going on. No, but when you see something live,

And for the first time, America has been hit at home and it's been done so in this dramatically humiliating way of these little, these grand towers, some of the biggest in the world, just collapsing on their footprint from it. It looks so humiliating and D D motivating, you know, it's like, what's the point of dreaming big and building big towers anymore when these things get popped off and fall on their footprint from a,

from little planes. No one's ever seen that before. And of course, there's another subtext to what I'm saying here, right? Is that when you can convince people to believe things which are extraordinary and very rare, if at all, ever happening in history before, what does that say about the future? And what does it say about reality itself? No longer is this subversion contained within the, you know, the liminal space of dreams and movies and

and nuttery in there. Now you watch the evening news and they're selling you on this ridiculous idea that these World Trade Center things that fall on their footprint, extraordinary happenstance that's never happened, including World Trade Center 7.

And all the experts tell you that this is just normal. It's just happened this way. And yeah, you add that layer in, like Sir, it said about, well, don't be wild and out like a man or don't wild out like a wild religious guy. Cause you know, that's not stuff. You're going to, you're just going to psycho. And then you see that happen. And then all of a sudden we go off to these. So then, so then the young masculine energy, Oh, we're going to go fight this.

So they go off to Afghanistan, and that turns out to be a total slog-esque disaster. Well, that's the thing. They go to Iraq, and that's another lie. They keep bleeding out that masculine energy and this humiliation ritual for over –

That's the all of millennials. And that's why they're so desperate to go back before 9-11 to watch. The whole thing is, is that we ended up doing that anyways. So the, so the, the trying to turn away from the extremism or whatever that we saw over there, we ended up matching that. Yeah. Right. We became the doubles. What way? Extremist feminists.

No, the men going off to war. Oh, yeah. You know, fighting and whatever. But that was, again, a humiliation because there was no there was, you know, it was all lies about why we're in there. We let Osama bin Laden go, you know, and then George W. Bush. I mean, what a psychological terror to have such an idiot as your president for eight years.

You know what I mean? Just a stupid guy, you know, and really is. And I don't care, you know, you know, about the personal, personal, just as just aesthetically, just a dumb deer in the headlights look all the time. And that's your symbol of, you know, male leadership.

a fumbling, feckless liar who can't get any war completely conquered, but talks a big game. I mean, think about what that does mimetically, right? Young man. Okay. I'm going to talk a big game and be a fumbling, impotent, dumb idiot like him. Like going back to your, to your, we got to be dumb to be successful. George W. Bush was perfect for that as a symbol to say, that's what it looks like. Then it comes Barack Obama, right? And here's this, Oh, look,

I'm smart. I'm a professor and I'm going to give you peace. And then he walked into that wood chipper that goes on when you go behind the scenes and they sat him down and he didn't fight it. They said, we're going to run this operation just like we're going to do with Biden with that auto pin later on. We're going to run yours the same way. Basically, you're just going to be a little bit more eloquent mannequin.

And so, you know, they bombed every country and tortured everybody with Gitmo and all that. So what does that do? That humiliates any of that, you know, masculine can-do energy that was kind of left-oriented there, right? And that just squeezes the hell out of that hopes and dreams for eight years. You know, and then you get Trump, and then it's like, you know, here we are in the middle of it. Yeah.

Not only does it stop the can-do spirit and strips away creativity, it makes men expendable, right? It makes them totally, you know,

you can send them off to war to die for your stupid world nation building projects and all of that and it's like they have no value outside of that and you know that's what these conservatives so-called conservatives of today don't get is that they're trying to restore traditional values they pretend to do that but at the same time they're pushing for these endless wars

and push countless men off of the face of the earth and put society back in a place where families can't be formed anymore. Because if you have 1000s of men serving overseas fighting some strange alien, then you will have nobody at home maintaining and sustaining the home and you will have a generation of single mothers all over again.

Well, it's also interesting. I don't think they're going to get away with ever doing a full, you know, I talked to Scott Horton yesterday about this current conflict with Iran. And he said there's very few neocons who are openly advocating for a full ground invasion of Iran. That's a very extreme position, even in the neocon world. But there's such lying, slithering tongues that, you know, it doesn't mean any much, anything. But the fact that they can't even sell that.

as an option, does show that Iraq had a very large impact on American belief in the legitimacy of ever doing a full invasion like that again. And it's interesting that, you know, we didn't try that with Libya. We didn't try that with Syria. We did other things, right? Striking them with airstrikes and stuff like that and using proxies and all this because there was such a repudiation.

So it goes to show you that culture and the public's mood and reaction to things really does have an impact. It's like these nasty, snarling, regime-change nutcases psychos

As much as they love war, they know not to try a full Iraq and Syria and Libya and the Arab Spring and now here with Iran. They know not to try it. They know that the only way they can get that demonic surprise is if they just keep slow walking us, you know, oh, just a little strike. Just a little strike, Trump. Come on, give us a little strike. Just hit that bunker.

Just one B-52, just one. Hit it. Then they hit it. Yeah, and then Iran goes and does something. Oh, boy, we're going to have to do more now.

We've got to do 50 more of those. Oh, they're fighting back. We've got to do a little minimal. We're going to send in some special operations, you know, just a little bit. Oh, they killed 50 of them. Oh, you know, meanwhile, Israel sent in none of them, you know, of course. Oh, 50 of your boys got killed. Oh, you put the pictures, put the pictures up, right? Oh, we've got to get revenge. Now we're going to have to invade. And so that's the only way they can even have a chance at such a psychotic, insane thing. Mm-hmm.

Which wouldn't even work. It'd be the biggest stupid disaster. And I got to say something to these people that want us to say, oh, don't criticize the president. This is a republic. It's not in function a republic, but it's still the advertisement, right? It's like if you go to Olive Garden, okay?

It's not Italian food, but it's still advertised as Italian food. Okay. And, and damn it. I don't care if this is an empire. It's still advertised as a Republic. We still, we still have a constitution and I have a right to be an American. And that means that I don't have this stupid desire to just shut up and try to act like I'm the smart fan and say, well, I know there's a super secret plan and Trump's not really going to do that. So I don't want to look disloyal.

I'll go ahead and tell you, no, don't drop that. Don't get involved. I have a right to say that as an American, if we lose that, we got nothing left, you know, in terms of this cultural impotence and these people that think they're smart kids think like they said, traditionalist masculine guys try to pretend they're

This way, they're the ones who are saying, don't criticize Trump. He's got a secret plan. He deserves our loyalty. What the hell are you talking about? We're still advertised as a republic. That demands loyalty. The spirit...

Of this country, which is to dissent against unlawful actions by state actors. You can talk about your little James elite theory and all that stuff all day long. This is still all of garden, damn it. And you better not put mayonnaise and ketchup on that breadstick when you do, when you put it in the fake Italian soup, you got to have some kind of something, right? You know, you get what I'm trying to say. You still got to have something.

You know, it may have a lot of gutting out of the spirit of Italian food. After all these years, Olive Garden has just been a corporate thing.

But there's still some there's still got to be some level of dignity that we continue to have. Right. Does that make sense? We're not going to be saying, OK, bring out tacos warmed up in a microwave. All of that. You need to at least pretend to be Italian. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the way I'm that's the way I think about it is like this, this, this attitude. I'm going on a tangent, but it has something to do with what we're saying. I think this this this attitude that these people have that I've seen is really irritating me because they don't you say nothing.

You've got to give your full undying support as he like plays footsies with globalists. I don't care, man. You got some secret little plan. That's great. I will clap for you if you stop this war. Be glad. That's what a citizen and a sovereign citizen has a right to do is applaud. Okay. Okay. We're not having a war under your watch. Thank you. Good. We'll give you, you know, you're a servant. You did what we wanted.

But if we look at you and you're acting in some high risk thing, you might have a secret plan. It's kind of like I say, if Trump said, I'm going to murder a kitten tomorrow on live television. And then you got the smart fans saying, oh, it's a secret. He's just going to he's trying us. He got a plan. He's going to make a point. This he's not going to go through with the killing of the kitten. As the days continue, he keeps talking about why he's going to kill this kitten.

I'm not playing this game where, you know, you don't, don't you criticize him. He's our president. Be loyal. You just shut up and be loyal. Say, go whatever you want. What is this? First of all, you can't be a Christian and do that. Yeah. We don't put our faith in Kings and princes, even if they are playing a little bit of game, even if it's a game, you know what I'm saying? Cause there's Christian principles at state. Do you know what I mean? Like if, if, if a president said, I'm going to kill a kid or I'm going to kill an innocent human being tomorrow, live on television as a Christian, uh,

You don't get to be this like Abraham Isaac thing where it's like, okay, whatever you want, Lord. He's not our Lord. Do you get what I'm saying? He's not our Lord. We don't put that faithfulness to him. We play the kayfabe and say, you know, I don't know. I don't think he's going to go through with executing a live person or a live kitten on television. I think he's got a little gimmick he's going to play.

But I'm not going to talk like that. I'm going to talk like a Christian should talk, which is if you give me a platform to speak in the neighborhood, I'm going to say, no, we don't kill. Thou shalt not kill. I don't need to be a fancy boy and shout, oh, there's a secret plan. Go ahead, president. I know you've got some secret plan that's going to beat them. You're going to pull a little trick out and then you don't kill them at the last second and do something else and everybody's great. No, no, we're going to stand on the truth.

If you're a Christian, you have a higher responsibility. That doesn't mean you can't be... I'm not asking for people to be some detached philosophical purist. That's not what we're talking about. It's just like basic moral boundaries have to be respected if you have any dignity as a human. Yeah, man. Maybe it's more of the thing of thinking about politics. Is it effective or is it sterile? You know what I mean? And that's...

You know, I think this whole catharsis of like wanting to see war and stuff shows sort of the sterility of politics. Right. You can't do anything else to make people feel like politics is working other than go to war. You know what I mean? And my whole thing is, you know, if Trump really wanted to do something to make people feel like politics still works, you know, like we've been talking about, you know, previously, right.

he could do something to change some of these family legal, this legal system with the family. You know what I'm saying? Now, wouldn't that be a sight for sore eyes? A lot of men, a lot of men would be very happy, you know what I mean, to see that shift. Right? You know what I'm saying? And so that's, you know, I think, yeah, I mean, if you want to bring back politics as having some kind of, you know,

effectiveness, that would be a way to do it. You know? I mean, really. I think that. You know what I'm saying? You change that family legal system, brother? Listen, man. I doubt we'll be off to the races, bro. That would be very difficult, though, because the cat's already out of the bag. And now you're...

at a point where you see Trump signing executive orders to keep men away from women's sport as if like I mean I don't see that whole thing was quite an enormous clown show to me and I'll tell you why because women overwhelmingly campaign for the trans stuff and

And if Trump is signing executive orders here, why even get involved? Let the women run their sports division. Why are you signing...

Why are you trying to be a gatekeeper? Nobody wants you there. The women who play in the sports division hate you. You have won probably Riley Gaines who is always talking about it but nobody, everybody else hates that guy. So why even bother with it?

So my point is that it's really nothing. I mean, he tries to do the stuff to gain women voters, suburban mom voters, and so on. But there's really no point. There's really no point to even...

I think it's a disgrace that they have UFC women's fighting. I think that's the one of the most disgusting things. How can you be a society and sit down with your friends eating chicken wings or something and watching women beat their faces in when they're like,

you know blue and swollen faces and i'm like what the hell is this what a stupid society that is that is a stupid society you know i mean like we're supposed to all pretend what are you gonna do tonight i'm going down to the usc he's a women women on the car you're gonna work that and then trump and then trump plays into that he's got that stupid kid rock and that stupid the whole thing is just it's just spit it's low energy it's low thyroid it's

I don't care, man. I'm not these stupid losers. Like, you know, these, you know, these folks, they got the ugly punchable faces on Twitter. All they do is they, they, I want to get in line next. I want to get in line next. So I'm going to kiss Trump's, you know, tail. Now Trump would respect me. I know he anytime way better than any of those clowns ever.

Because he understands when you are someone or whether you're just an empty vessel, a little Marco, as he would call it. There's a lot of little Marcos. There's a million little Marcos running around on Twitter and all that. Trust him. He's got our back. He's been there for us. Okay. This is stupid shit, man. And they're always obsessed with the dumbest little, like this deep level of please trust him. Please trust him.

When he's watching girls beat their faces in, this is the best we can do. It's like, no, no, you stupid demon. No, this is not the best we can do. We don't have to say this is peak what it means to be a tough masculine leader or whatever that you're craving for. Okay.

But the way we're going to solve this is not by arguing with these people, because they're functional women, okay? And you don't argue with a woman. You just build the future. And they'll get a little seat on the boat if they pay their prayer and they pay their ticket. We'll let the women and children in first, including them. But they're not going to build the future. They're going to wait in line for, like you said, they have put their faith on politics, okay? They think that coercion...

Is the best game in town. And he is in a lot of ways on some low resolution level. Right. Right. That there is there is there is some wins that they can have. Obviously, they're they've made millions. There's a lot of wins they can have because the state controls violence. Yeah. The law. The law has a monopoly on violence. Right. Right. And that's that's the you know.

Politics has a monopoly on violence, and that's why they can coerce so easily, because it makes people afraid. But you can't have that monopoly of violence maintain itself when the dominant cultural catharsis mechanism is women...

And it's not about the women. It's just the fact that that's put alongside men, which has its own vulgarity. But, okay, it's men beating each other up. Okay. But, like, putting women in that same boat is such a self-own on such a deep level. And you can't play in that world and then come out unscathed from the moral fabric.

Of what's going on. That's what that is. The difference is that... Is that another word we're going to get drone strike for? Okay. The difference is that women get to choose to be in that arena and not. You see what I'm saying? Women get to choose to be feminine women

and lighthearted and all this type of stuff. And they can also choose to be very vindictive and coercive and manipulative and everything else. As a man, if you do like that, what are they going to say? You're acting like a woman. It's just what you just said. You see what I'm saying? If you're a man and you act manipulative and coercive and vindictive and

All the things. That's why a lot of the conservative influencers in the millennial world and older Gen X are gay. Okay. Yeah. Because that's the kind of catty little, you know, it's high estrogen or I don't know what it is, but it's, it's, it's this manipulative. I'm going to get you and we're going to have our soldiers march out and our soldiers are going to have better outfits than yours. You know, it's like, how can you stand for something? Well, you don't really stand for anything. And,

And I think, you know, it's a shortcut to have that kind of power because real power, look, I'm not saying that you can't have a place in using politics. I'm not an absolutist about these things, but I just think that when you have all these young influencers corralling young men towards these kind of, like you said, what was the word you used? Impotent results of politics.

Sterile. Sterile. Okay. Yeah. I like that word, sterile, because that's what it leaves you, you know? If you, just think about the physiological thing we're talking about here. If you're listening, you're a young man or woman, we're talking about the men issue primarily today, you know, when you watch these influencers, right?

Tell you, oh, we got to get this guy elected and, oh, we got to trust this president. And who we really, Rand Paul, we really need you to pass this big bill. You know, when that becomes your thing, that that's like what you focus on all the time. What are you doing? You're not getting you're not focusing on that.

Your health, you're not focusing on your metabolism. You're not focusing on improving yourself and the really embodied part of your life, which is everything. You're not thinking about if I get my circadian rhythm better and I get my metabolic health better, then that will improve my relationships. You're not thinking about that. You're thinking about this. You're putting all your energy into this is the big focus of change in a positive way.

Which leaves you totally floundering. Now, am I saying that obviously there are people who are following health and fitness culture while still getting interested in what Ben Shapiro tells them to be interested in today? So they're not mutually exclusive. But there tends to be a kind of vacuum. You know, power tends to concentrate in one direction. And a lot of people...

are really focused on complaining. Even what you're saying, Shannon, it's like, well, we got to change those laws. I want to change those laws too for families. But how do you actually do it? My opinion, it's not that there's one way.

And I may be thinking in a really too hard to happen way. Maybe. I don't think so. But to me, if you want those things to change, you have to change the fundamental basis of the relationship between the individual and the monopoly on violence. Mm-hmm.

And by individual, you can include the family unit as an individual family unit. If the family unit is in a really, really, really disadvantage in terms of their relationship and the terms of agreement between the state and the oligarchic interests that capture the state around it, the corporations.

Then it's really up, it's swimming uphill to try to get your local state government, because it would be a state thing to change most of the marriage stuff. There'd be some federal things, but, you know, to try to get your state government with all of those captured guys in Congress and in the legislature who are themselves in a bad, probably dysfunctional relationship, mostly to be nice.

And they are trying really hard to get committee favors and committee attaboys so that they can be hired higher every term they get reelected. They don't want to gut something which is such a money-making machine for these lawyers and all that. And there's so much opposition there. So you have to change the cultural appetite. You've got to shift it. Now, how would you shift it? In my opinion, women are just going to move towards that which has the energy.

In the environment. And so if you're in a low energy environment, then yeah, in that low metabolic state of the society, a low metabolic way of solving things, violent aggression, like the state and all of its oligarchs is going to be the hottest thing in town. That's why women and men are all obsessed with politicizing everything. But if you change the equation of the relationship and the fundamental way you do that is through the relationship of energy, right?

human energy, and the energy that we produce for our work. That's it. It's not that complicated. All the other things are very important, but if you get your health energy right, and cancer rates drop, and depression drops, and bipolar drops, all those things are downstream from metabolic health. What if we snapped our fingers today, right now, and

Most of Americans who were depressed are no longer depressed, and they won't be depressed for the next year. Do you understand how much more productivity we would have in our society for that year? We snapped our fingers and got rid of all the bipolar, the mood swings, all of these things, manic depressive, all these different little categories they've tried to create with their garbage industries. Mm-hmm.

You can imagine how much compounding value and how much compounding productivity and mimetic positive mimesis of like what would happen with that. Right. And so imagine if you could change the environment there and at the same time change the environment of your energy. When you see a war, you don't got it. You know that you don't talk about a humiliation ritual, sir. It doesn't know about this humiliation ritual. He wasn't in this one. Right. Right.

Having to fill your gas tank up and see the price going up because those are over there, you know, playing footsies with war again. And you're thinking, good God, they created this combustion engine technology over 100 years ago. And I'm still stuck in this dark age, artificially constructed through politics where I've got to watch that price just go up.

When I shouldn't be using this fuel as the primary mechanism of moving around this beautiful country, I should have ocean water powering my car or whatever. I should have energy harvesting polymer on my paint of my car, harvesting energy 24-7 in the daytime, in the night, and other means of harvesting energy without relying on what we think is currently the only thing in town.

And having that abundant energy relationship, can you imagine when they go off to war again, you don't care anymore. It doesn't affect you. And your food's cheaper. And your materials are cheaper. And to produce things is cheaper, right? Your medicine's cheaper. Your housing is more affordable. And what's going to happen is that when, and I know this is, maybe I'm not going to say it in the right way, so maybe you guys can go where you want to go with it, but...

I think that women will move towards the society of freedom and the space that's producing these grand liberations from poverty. That's like whoever's, you know, the Moses, you know, let's use a biblical analogy, the Moses movement that gets people out of Egypt. Because we're in Egypt in that sense. Mm-hmm.

No energy, resentful, tired of everything going bad, you know, manipulated, coerced, used for wars, paying the piper with gas that we shouldn't have to pay for at prices we shouldn't have to pay for because of other people controlling us. How do we get free from that? I think the people who spend their energy doing that will create a cultural movement away so that at that transition period, and I don't know where it comes in,

it will be very easy and momentum-wise to change those laws to make them more family-friendly. Does that make sense? I think, like, in addition to what you just said, David, I think it's time to really hone in on our convictions because there's too much of mediocrity out there, too much of,

complaining and all of that and too much of not being invested enough in what we're doing.

And it's really like in terms of Christianity, there's too much of people who are allowed to get away with a lot of nonsense. Things like what Ted Cruz said yesterday. Was it yesterday? Because Christ said that you are identified by how loving each other. That's how you identify each other, right? That how the world will know you are Christians. Yeah.

That theology that Ted Cruz said, he said, look, it's very clear for me, Tucker. I grew up that the Bible says if you bless Israel, you'll be blessed. If you curse Israel, you'll be cursed. And then Tucker's like, well, what's Israel? What does that mean? So it's a trivial, stupid thing.

level of analysis when they do that. But here's the thing. Here's why it's attractive, right? I'm going to take it right back to my theme of my show, metabolism. You cannot buy that stupidity, truly, if you are in a high state of healthy metabolism. That theology only works because of impaired thyroid, which 90% of Americans have.

So, in other words, you actually can't energetically get past this. And God wants us to get past this because he wants us to have an abundant life. But see what he's appealing to you because Ted says the line, he says, and Tucker, he says this like I've heard this so many times. I want to be on that right side with God. What does that mean? You're saying you have such deep death anxiety.

You're afraid that God's going to hate you if you don't support Israel. And I said, well, wait a second. So you're stupidly saying that that Abrahamic covenant, which Paul clearly and many other places in the text clearly shows that that was given to Christ. And that means those who bless Christ's body are blessed by God. And those who curse Christ's body are cursed by God, meaning you follow Christ's way and you're blessed. That's abundantly clear. Okay. That's abundantly clear.

We have been on Ted Cruz's level of blessing and cursing Israel on that interpretation. We have been doing it that way for so many decades, going to every war that their leadership wants us to go to, right?

And it has not brought any blessings. It's brought, like you said, corn on the cob for everybody. Depression, you know, lack of empathy, right? Lack of character, people punching each other out and being more vicious and nasty and violent here domestically. Confused.

bankrupt, inflated with our currency, no productivity, all of our squandered resources for Iraq and Afghanistan, the Arab Spring, and God knows what else for the surveillance machine that we built after 9-11. It has not been a blessing. By any standard, there has been no blessing. I remember when these fools like, what's his name, Falwell, was like, we have to stay here with Israel, bless them.

It's been 25 years. He said that it got worse and worse since he said that. You could take that back to John Hagee. Take that back to John Hagee. This is the thing, man. We've been talking this whole time, but I didn't hear nobody say nothing about it being the church's fault. Everything that's going on is the church's fault. It doesn't matter what denomination you belong to. It's the church's fault because the ministers, the priests, the bishops...

The cardinals, the Pope, they all sit there and the archbishops in Constantinople. It doesn't matter who it is. They sit there and they don't say nothing. They all just yesterday, just keep talking a whole spiel. And they don't say nothing about the fact that a whole bunch of men are, you know, all these problems that we have. Right. And the fact that, you know, blessing Israel, like the fact that he could get on to Tucker Carlson show, right.

and say that in 2025 just lets you know that the church ain't doing shit. Because they don't know, because, again, we have a low metabolism theology. I know this sounds crazy, but it all works together. Where is your thyroid located? Sir, you were going to say something. Go ahead and say it before I go on this point. I didn't want to interrupt. Well, I was just going to add to what Shannon said. It is the church's fault. That's why Christians need to grow up.

We are speaking with people. We're speaking as young people that are not in these so-called halls of power of politics. So there's always a different calculus when you're in the game, right? And we got to be smart and wise and baking that into what we say, but we're playing the role that we have, right? Which is the role we have. And that role can change and morph into different things. The way we, we, God blesses us or whatever. It does different things, but

My point is, is that, you know, when you look at this, this whole foundation is built on a disembodied Christianity. And it goes across all the different denominations because they all have a disposition generally that's popular, which faith is detached from the body. The body is kind of a downstream thing. So when kids get blown up in Iran, it's like, well, it's kind of a body thing. It's not that important.

Because what matters about your Christ relationship is do you believe in Christ? So that girl who didn't, that got killed in Iran, that first rubble photo I saw, didn't matter because she's not with Christ. So we don't want that to happen. They always say it like, yeah, it just sucks. That is satanic, that kind of built-in acceptance that kids could just die for no reason other than criminals, and we're supposed to say God wanted that. I mean, to lie on those levels, like you said, is so...

It's so warping of your spirit and that mimetic warping contagiously spreads around the whole community. It just resonates and vibrate vibrates over and over again in a collective kind of, you know, ping pong of energy. And it's all based on this energy level and the way your theology, like you said, Shannon, it is theology. You're right. Breitbart said, you know, before he was, whatever happened there when he was killed or died,

Breitbart said that politics is downstream from culture, but culture is downstream from theology, right? And so if you don't understand your theology or religion, and I would say maybe religion is a better word because it includes theology and anthropology in the rituals and the traditions. If you can't understand that stuff or you don't even want to try, you're just playing in the shallow pool. You're not in the real world. You're not in the game. And that's what I think we have to—

That's what our calling is, is to try to bring that to fruition, to bring that bioenergetic and that level in the anthropological foundation, to bring those levels into cultural understanding and political understanding.

That's the task that we have before us to intellectually win that argument and to culturally win it downstream from that intellectual win. That's what we're going to do. And that's what we are doing. And it's exciting to be in this environment. It's exhausting, but it's fun too, because I got to tell you something. How many people can go 24 hours without sleeping? How would you function? I have no idea. I don't think you could. That's what I did today. And I just did this show.

So that's what high metabolism, even if you're not, look, I'm going to tell you something. I'm a work in progress. Everybody can know. I don't have to hide anything. Everybody's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. I got a long way to go where I want to be. But the fact that I can hold court like this with zero sleep for 24 hours, I've been having some kind of insomnia attack. It's been more than just 24 hours, actually. It's been days. And I can hold court with you guys and smile on a dime. That's glory to God, baby. That's glory to God. And God delights in that.

And if you have that kind of energy, when you're not even getting started, just wait and see what happens next. Just wait and see what happens next. Because it's one thing to talk, but you got to walk the walk, and we're going to do it. So all I'm saying is there's a reason why God is allowing Dr. Yu's theory to be reached to millions of people. Everything's coming into play as I hoped it would go, but it's going even more exciting than I thought.

Because now we don't just have the physics. We've got the biology. We've got the metabolism. We've got it all together. So I want you to think about this, guys. Let's think about this. All we're talking about in society is a cultural, collective manifestation of emotions. People just not being treated right and frustrated and all these things. So it's part of the mind. It's part of the body. All these things bother us. But I want to know, where's your thyroid at? You know, where did God place our thyroid?

I'm just using it. It's not just the thigh, but I just want to use this as a demonstration. It's in our neck. What did they do to people in the ancient world? They beheaded people. They separated your body from your soul, your mind, space, your emotions, everything detached from your body. That's the problem we have. We have a beheaded society that's detached, the mind and the body. And I think what we have to realize is when you get that energetic foundation right, you can move mountains.

You can do extraordinary things, just like God said. When you think that your only ticket is to just theologically escape from the darkness by praying fervently and hiding, there's a time to do that if people are trying to kill you. Sometimes when you don't have that, you're sinning if you think that's your disposition when you have all the power to go out and act and go on the offense for the glory of God, right? And that's what I'm trying to say is that, you know, getting that energetic state of being in alignment with God

the right place will help your soul and your body be in resonance with one another. When you have it unaligned, out of balance, your body and soul is not regulated well together. It's not resonating well together. And therefore, you cannot solve your problems with any hope of chance of success. So you first, in other words, it's a spiritual matter to get your energy right. What is energy? We say energy. We don't know what that is. That's the spirit.

Your thyroid is a conductor that relates the spiritual part of your being or the soul part with the body. When everything is resonating really well from there, you can take stress. Look, I'm not where I need to be, but the fact that I can have this conversation is a glory to God. Most people who go, as long as I've gone for many days, because I don't know what, I think I've resolved the matter, but I'm just, I don't usually talk about my

I don't talk about that. That's old school. I do old school radio style. I don't do these guys that put the vertical camera up and say, hey, guys, I'm just coming home from buying my groceries. That's what everybody else does on YouTube. I do it old school because I was trained by old school radio guys. I got to tell you, you know, I'm not where I need to be, but I am where I need to be in God's timing. And the fact that I can hold court after days and days of sleep deprivation and God knows all kinds of stress, I can tell you. And I think I'm resolving the matter now.

But God gives me that energy in the tank because you guys give me the energy in the tank. Where two or three are gathered, he is in the midst. When I first started doing this, I was supposed to do another interview today, but the guest called in sick right before the time, right? And so I sat there and I said, man, I've been up, you know, I didn't sleep at all. I came to the studio and put on my suit. And here I am just sitting here and I thought, man,

We can either not do a show today or not. And then I heard that you guys were going to do a show. That gave me energy. Where two or three are gathered, he is in the midst. His spirit is in the midst. And then having you guys talk and the excitement of that has given me more and more energy, not less. So my point is just to say, it's just these little blessings that you can see in life that you can use as little down payments on what more we can have. You can get to a state where

Where bad things can happen to you and you just don't give a damn. You're so in love with the Lord. Your body is so nourished. And that can happen even if you're starving. But what I'm saying is the normative is that we take care of our body. You see what I mean? Does that make sense? You can be in the joy of the Lord through your mindset, through true spiritual discipline. You can have delight and energy, but you can have it even more so when we integrate body and soul together. Yeah, I agree. I agree.

You know, but this is the part where you start singing Shannon. No, this is the part where I say my, my energy is running low. You got to start learning how to use sugar. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. But I ain't going to preach to anybody about that. We're just going to show it in reality.

Amen. All right. I appreciate you guys involving me in your discussion, and I hope we can do some more of this. Yeah, of course. Let's do it, brother. All right. Happy Juneteenth, guys. Thanks. ♪♪♪
