I'm Robert Evans 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.520 hosted Behind the Bastards, And as you can guess from 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:13.800 that exciting type filled introduction, we're gonna be talking about 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.320 bleach today. That was that was better than my bleach 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:21.040 intro that I just said? That was better? Yes, yes, yes, 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.840 nobody knows what TikTok is? Do you like to talk videos? 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:31.000 I send you so I claim to like them. Um, 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:35.239 for politeness's sake and also for politeness's sake, let me 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.360 introduce my guest for today, the only person I could 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:42.720 have on to discuss the Bleach Church, Mr Billy White Davis. 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:45.720 It is it is so good to be here in 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:51.960 such terrible circumstances. Again, terrible circumstances. How are your circumstances doing, Billy, 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:57.480 other than terrible? They're I mean, I can't complain about 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.080 my lifestyle and or anything right now. It's just more 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:05.200 like I wish I knew what was happening. Yeah, we 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:12.080 all do, don't we? Um? The answer I think generally 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.920 is not great stuff. Not great stuff is happening real 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:22.039 mixed bags. So, speaking of mixed bags, were you did 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.600 you did you get on the news at all last week. 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.640 Check it out, see what was going down. Yeah, our 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.039 our Twitter are our friends on Twitter really let me 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.160 know what was going down to ye. Yeah, so catch 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.400 everybody up. About a year or so ago, um, you, 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.200 you and I sat down to talk about, uh, the 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.320 Genesis to Church and its founder, a fellow named Reverend 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:50.240 Jim Humble, and the Genesis to churchs has a sacrament 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.120 that I, as far as I know, is unique in 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:56.280 the annals of religion. Um, and also involves anal So 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.960 that's kind of funny, except for it's not because the 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.280 sacrament is pouring bleach up children's assholes to poison the 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.960 autism out of them. Um. So I shouldn't have let 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.040 in with a joke to that because it's just horrible 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.560 child abuse. But that's what we talked about. It was 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.520 a fun episode. Everybody really seemed to enjoy you and 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:18.440 I talking about bleach um. And you know, Billy, I 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.440 I had ever thought I'd be looking back on two 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:26.239 nineteen as as as bright halcyon days, but here we are. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:31.400 That was that was a lighter time. We had a 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:36.600 lot to laugh about back then. I mean, everyone reminding 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.559 me on Twitter of what was happening made me immediately 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.800 just be like, oh, this is this is not fun. 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.320 This is bad, you guys, because we were really making 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.000 fun of it, like this is just the most obscure 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:56.200 bullshit you've ever heard of, exactly. So it's it reminds 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:57.840 me a little bit of how when I was when 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.080 I was young, you know, nine me one, driving all 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.400 around the damn particularly driven around the Southwest, you know, 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.000 the desert and stuff. I listened to a lot of 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.880 Alex Jones just because he was so silly and so 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.280 fun and I just he was he felt like this 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.160 like fringe secret that like me and a few friends 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.919 had that there was this like Looney Tunes dude on 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.400 the radio and he would say all sorts of nutsos stuff, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.959 and it was it was very fun um. And then 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.160 all those people got killed um by Info Wars fans, 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.080 and suddenly he was a lot less funny. And the 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.800 Church of Bleach has had an arc like that. We 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.640 we I mean not really, actually I don't. We never 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.960 should have enjoyed the Church of Bleach so much because 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.320 it was always based fundamentally around horrific child abuse. But 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.680 for some reason, maybe that we're bad people, it felt 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:53.880 more lighthearted a year ago. I Yeah, I just made 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.560 me feel superior for a little bit. And yeah, and 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.560 that's probably shouldn't have. But we we aft about the 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.320 Church of Bleach, as horrible as it was, and I 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:04.640 guess it was. It was one of those things that 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.680 was always bad. Like all the stuff we talked about 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.920 on this show is bad. So like you could argue 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.640 we shouldn't be laughing about any of it, but we 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.600 do because it's a way of coping with the horror. 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.360 But it felt like a like a fringe thing, like 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.440 it was this, it was this, this is horrible for 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.880 these few dozen families and stuff. But like, surely something 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:28.120 this dumb, this like unabashed would never be a big deal. 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.200 Yeah yeah, yeah, Like this has to have only happened 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.440 to a like like in a couple of limited cases, Right, 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.839 it can't be a regular thing. Yeah, but it is 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.920 where it's like they heard about it and then they 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.719 kept doing it, so it's like, ah, yeah, it's like 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.400 if it's like someone opened a bar four crocodiles and 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.159 and suddenly drunk crocodiles became like a major danger to 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.080 life and limb um. Yeah, So there are a couple 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.279 of stories before Trump got ahold of it, or I 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.919 was like, I think I brushed it off because my 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.640 brain couldn't comprehend that it was getting some mainstream stuff. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.880 I was like, Oh, this is just in mysei, guys, 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.159 because Robert and I talked about it. Yeah, because we 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.039 talked about the bleach guy that. But it's it's spreading, Billy. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.560 Much like if you if you drop bleach on your 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:26.080 favorite pair of bright red trousers, UH, a white decolored 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.000 spot will spread upon the pants. The cult of bleach 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:34.080 is spreading throughout the United States. UM and it it 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.279 It does not appear to be abating anytime soon. And 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.080 it received a major shot in the arm last week 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:45.160 when the President of the United States, one Donald Jonathan 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.760 Aims Trump UH said, and I quote, I see the 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.479 disinfectant where it knocks it out in one minute, and 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.320 is there a way we can do something like that 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.000 by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.760 it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.320 number on the lungs. Now. He said this during one 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.240 of his one of his UH big addresses to the 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.320 media that he was doing every single day. UH and 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.640 because he said this, he is no longer doing those 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.640 every single day. Um, because there was there was a 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.440 bit of an outcry to this one. Now the president, 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.599 he is the answer to the eternal question, like, I mean, 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.640 what's the worst that can happen? Put him out there, 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.080 and then then they're like, shit, he did it again. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.800 It was the worst. Yeah. So, Um, the President got 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.320 up in front of America and he he made that statement. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.159 He did not suggest that people drink or otherwise and 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.880 just bleach. He didn't mention bleach at all. He just 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:42.599 said disinfectant. Um, and people kind of filled in disinfectant 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.920 with bleach. Uh. Yeah. And it's one of those things 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.760 where like it's very frustrating on both sides because on 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.200 one hand, you had a bunch of people saying Trump 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.680 told everyone to drink bleach, and he he didn't tell 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.680 everyone to drink bleach. He talked about injecting disinfectant, which 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.200 is equally dumb but different. But at the same time, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.360 all of the people who do drink bleach, namely our 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.080 friends at the Genesis To Church, saw his words as 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.440 an endorsement of their sacrament. Hours after the president's statement, 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.400 Genesis To Archbishop Mark Grennan posted this to his Facebook wall. 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.040 Trump has got the MMS and all the info. Three 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.480 exclamation points. Things are happening, folks. One exclamation point. Lord 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:27.160 helps others to see laught again. I'm sorry. It's when 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.800 he said things are happening. It's like every type I 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.040 can't you guys, I can't. I want to help you, 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.080 but I can't. Yeah. Uh, Lord help others to see 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.640 the truth. Uh. And truth is capitalized with one exclamation point. Now, 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.040 so that that's Mark Grennan. Who's Who's the archbishop of 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.920 the Bleach Church. Another Trump fan who saw his words 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.600 as an endorsement of drinking bleach was Jordan's Safer, A 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.520 prominent voice in the q and on community, Jordan has 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.800 more than a hundred and fifty one thousand followers on Twitter. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.240 He has two hundred and twenty two thousand subscribers on 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.560 the YouTube. He is a vocal advocate of dream can Bleach. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.320 He responded to the President's statement with a tweet quoting 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.280 his words and then saying this, do you realize how 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.360 freaking cheap and easy it would be to mass produce 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.240 chlorine dioxide for hundreds of thousands of people? We could 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.360 wipe out COVID quick. The biggest turtle is education, which 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.160 is difficult with how shit our media is. Doctor should 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:21.800 be learning about this stuff. He's got some colonels of 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.480 truth in there, he has some kernels of truth where 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:29.280 he's like, the problem is education that is accurate, and 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.640 we could it is accurate that with enough bleach, we 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.920 could wipe out COVID nineteen. Like if you drowned the 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.760 whole cities in a wave of bleach, that COVID nineteen 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.960 would no longer be a problem. That would be just focus. Yeah, 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.000 well we're not. We're a singular focus here. That's all 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.439 we're doing. You said to get rid of it. I 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.600 you didn't say not kill everyone. You didn't say that. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.560 Yeah you could. You could wipe out COVID nineteen with 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.760 bleach in a similar manner to how you could wipe 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:06.080 out COVID nineteen. The hydrogen bomb, um, now we're talking now, yes. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.400 In this episode of Behind the Bastards is supported by 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.800 the hydrogen bomb, which is of course a product of 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:17.839 our main sponsor, Raytheon Industries, Ray Theon. Why not kill everybody? 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.640 Let's do it, let us do it. Come on, that's 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.280 Jordan's say now Twitter removed that message that Jordan's Savior 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.719 uh put up. In Business Insider went to Twitter for 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.360 a statement on exactly where the line was for people 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.440 like Savior, and I think they were basically like a 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.240 lot of other people are still talking about drinking bleach 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.120 and they haven't been banned, Like, where is your line? 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.920 And I want to read you the response that Twitter 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:47.560 spokesperson gave because it is a masterclass in weasel words. Quote. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.000 We're prioritizing the removal of COVID nineteen content when it 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.559 has a call to action that could potentially cause harm. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.240 As we've said previously, we will not take enforcement action 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.400 on every tweet that contains incomplete or disputed information about 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.840 COVID night sen So telling people that bleach might help 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:09.280 with COVID nineteen doesn't cross the line. Telling them to 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.920 drink it crosses the line because if you're just saying 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.319 COVID bleach, bleach seems like it helps with COVID nineteen, 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.120 that's disputed. But if you're telling people to drink bleach, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.199 that's Twitter's line. So that's an interesting line for Twitter 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.520 to have taken. That is a line that a room 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.280 full of Twitter's lawyers spent. I don't know. Yeah, I 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.040 would say an extra two days just to check up 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.320 the price and then be like, here's the line we 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:39.480 came up with. Isn't that funny? Yeah, it is very funny. Yeah. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.959 There's a there's a movie. I think it's a pretty 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.040 good movie. Some people have their critiques of it called Conspiracy. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.800 That's like a made for TV movie about the Von 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.959 s Conference, which is where um Reinhard Hydrick and uh 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.480 Adolf Eichman and a bunch of other Nazis planned the Holocaust, 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.320 And there's a scene in it where they're kind of 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.760 discussing the the mechanics of genocide and like how to 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.000 get you know X number of people into you know 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.360 why number of trains and move them to these camps 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.360 and that camps. They're like working through the logistics of 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.800 genocide and they have like an argument about German law 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.800 and about whether or not what they're doing is abiding 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.720 by like the laws that the Nazis have passed. And 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.600 one of the characters says, uh, raise your hand if 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.120 you're a lawyer, and everybody in the room raises their 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.040 hand because it was true, like almost everyone who was 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.600 in the room that Day was a lawyer, and I 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.240 feel like you would have the same You would have 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.120 the same reaction from the people whose job it is 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:32.560 to make Twitter's uh content lines for things like bleach drinking. 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.080 Not that it's the same thing, but that scene was 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.200 brought to mind, because yeah, you're right. It's definitely just 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.960 a room full of lawyers who have no concern as 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.600 to whether or not they're actually spreading disinformation, but are 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.560 concerned about whether or not Twitter is legally liable for 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.800 the spreading of disinformation, which is a good and fine 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:55.199 thing about our system. It's the same one one track 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.720 mind as the dude that's going to kill COVID with 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.920 the bleach yeah, where it's like, as long is this 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:06.120 is this, then I'm safe. Yeah, you see, I thinking, motherfucker. Yeah. 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.600 And it's one of those things where at some point 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.200 the things that they spawned by thinking that way will 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.880 endanger them, and in fact already has endangered them even 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.199 if they don't see it. But they're still making money 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.640 so they're fine with it, which is again a cool 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.680 and good aspect of our system. So UH, As a 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.640 fun aside, so we're talking about Jordan's safer and Twitter's 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.679 decision to delete some of his tweets, they didn't ban 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.600 him from Twitter, um, And it's interesting to me that, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.680 like they they're not okay with his call to action 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.920 to drink bleach, but they are fine about the fact 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.079 that Jordan's say there has recently gone mask off with 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.080 some very Nazi adjacent beliefs. On March eleventh, he tweeted 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.040 what is the real virus plaguing our world? And then 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.640 followed this word with them inside three sets of parentheses, 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.760 which is a very common way online to signal that 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.040 someone is Jewish. Uh. This tweet is still up today. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.040 It had more than two thousand likes the last time 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.480 I saw it. But oddly enough, Twitter removed a tweet 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.600 he made on Holocaust, remembering stay theorizing that the victims 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.160 of the Holocaust hadn't been killed, but had instead been 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.960 taken to work as slaves on an alien base in Antarctica. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.640 So I am not sure again where the line is there, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:17.480 but it's pretty cool, Billy. I yeah, I got nothing 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.440 on that one. That last one came out. If you're 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:24.239 just like, oh yeah, Twitter is like, you can insinuate 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.920 that Jewish people are the real virus, but you can't 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.000 say that Holocaust victims were taken to Antarctica to serve 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:37.200 on an alien base. That's our okay, Twitter, it's awesome 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:42.520 that it is awesome. That's the it's all inspiring. That 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.320 is the definition of all You're just like, yeah, it's 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.240 awesome in the same way that like seeing a whale 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.480 with your own eyes is awesome, where it just inspires 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.440 this powerful sense of emotion. So back to Mark Grennan 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.600 and our beloved bleached Church. Mark seems to have basically 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.319 gotten started as the assistant to Jim Humble and his 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.880 Humble has aged. Mark appears to have taken the reins 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.880 of the church and turned his billion year old Space 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.520 Navy veteran boss into a figurehead. Grinned is not nearly 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.080 as colorful a figure as Humble, uh, and he's mostly 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.920 been a secondary figure even within the realm of weird 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.400 bleach cult people. But after the President's tweet, Mark Grennan 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.600 leaped into our shared national zeitgeist. Thanks to reporting from 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.960 The Guardian, they wrote, the leader of the most prominent 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.040 group in the US peddling potentially lethal industrial bleach is 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.880 a miracle cure for coronavirus, wrote to Donald Trump, at 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.320 the White House this week. In his letter, Mark Grennan 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.440 told Trump that chlorine dioxide, a powerful bleached used in 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.760 industrial processes such as textile manufacturing that can have fatal 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.920 side effects when drunk, is a wonderful detox that can 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.320 kill the pathogens in the body. He added that it 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.560 can rid the body of COVID nineteen. So this would 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.120 be why everyone was tagging us last week. Billy, they 0:14:55.120 --> 0:15:00.320 were they were sharing this with us. Um So yeah, Billy, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.600 that was why everybody was tagging us last week. And 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.200 one of the major sources for that Guardian article was 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.360 an episode of the Genesis to Churches Own podcast in 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.960 which Archbishop Grinnin and his son celebrate Trump's seeming endorsement 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.000 of their sacrament. And before we move on and talk 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.640 about whether or not Mark Grennan actually had an impact 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.560 on what Trump said, I want to play you the 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.800 first minute or so of the Genesis to Churches Own podcast, 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.720 mainly so you can hear the reggae musical number that 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.000 they used to open every single episode. Because it is Billy. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:54.960 This is stone cold perfection. It's a darn and decide 0:15:54.960 --> 0:16:03.880 of grew up the institution. Boeen dioxide starts a hare revelation, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:16.360 how they ducking they died lies and country. He got 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:28.520 this solution. It'slcome, Welcome, Welcome to the G two Voice broadcast. 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.920 It is Sunday, April nineteen, in the year of the 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:37.000 Lord Jesus Christ, two thousand twenty. That's what the date 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.240 is based on. My name is Mark Grennan and I'm 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:45.080 here with my co host, Joseph Grennan. Isn't that amazing 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.560 that I can't I can't even talk about it, you guys. 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:49.600 I mean now, I'm glad I have to. I want 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.720 to send it to people. Yeah, you should. You should 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:58.040 spread this far and wide it is. I know I shouldn't, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:04.119 but I'm going out. Book is it's the reggae what 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:11.119 decision revolution? Okay, that's where they're coming. I would just curious, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.959 like what meeting they had to be, Like what music 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.679 are we gonna do for this? Because they had a meeting. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.159 They had a meeting, and Billy it makes when you 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.879 really think it through, because I I have spent I 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.640 don't want to talk about how much time I've spent 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.000 thinking about why the Bleached Colt podcast starts with a 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.840 reggae song. Um, but I've come to a point where 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:32.320 it makes total sense to me. And I'm gonna walk 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.920 you through my thinking. Um So we all remember, I 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.560 hope those of us who are are not eighteen or nineteen, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.960 and I'm happy for all of the zoomers listening. But 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:46.680 but once upon a time, marijuana was actually really really illegal, 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.440 as opposed to just really really illegal in like half 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.640 the country and more illegal than alcohol in the other 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:57.240 half of the country. Um. And in those days, we 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.080 all thought pot was more of a medicine than it is. 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.720 Which isn't to say that pot doesn't have some can't marijuana, 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:04.760 the plant can't be turned into a couple of different 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.760 a number of different medications. But like, we really got 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:09.960 into the whole weed as medicine thing, and a whole 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.320 hell of a lot of reggae was focused on like 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:16.840 the medical implications of marijuana, um, and like how how 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.919 what a powerful treatment it was. And when you it 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.280 turns out that when you get a group of people 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:26.440 together who all believe that mains the mainstream medical establishment 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.840 is like hiding the truth about a powerful medication, and 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.680 the government is conspiring with them to hide the truth 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.920 about a powerful medication for the purposes of of profiting. 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.680 And also those people are all high all the time. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.679 It's not super hard to get them to believe that 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:47.719 other hidden medications might be unjustly cracked down on by 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:52.480 the medical establishment. And that is why reggae makes sense 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:58.199 as a music for the bleached church that unfortunately that 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:06.720 all tracks. Yeah, everyone I know and wanna support sometimes, 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:12.920 but they make it hard. Yes, I agree. Yeah, these 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.879 are salesmen. They're very smart, that's what they're doing. And 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.640 they're like, hey, you know what'll work this? I think 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.480 you're right, Yeah, you're right. Yeah, let's take advantage of 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.640 the fact that, for justified reasons, nobody trusts the government 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:29.280 and nobody really trusts the pharmaceutical industry. Um. And we 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.120 actually do know that there are a number of of 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.880 of substances with medical properties that were hard that we're 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.480 in our harshly banned for no good reason. Um. So 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.440 maybe this is another case like that, right, And it's 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:46.600 like I used to love that uh kind of natural medicine. 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.280 Let's all get high and listen to reggae and take 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:53.480 mushrooms subculture, and you know, the the overall theme of 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.440 has been let's just let's just take everything you used 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.879 to love and twist it so that it's horrible and 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:07.960 unrecognizable and it's great, Billy, it's awesome. Well it's and 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.480 that's where they can call it a gateway drug. I 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.760 guess now for everything. I didn't think they would could 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.160 call it a gateway drug for bleach, but they're going 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:20.280 to because they're gonna say it's because they lied about 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.760 what canvass really is, so now they And it's why 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.240 I tried cocaine for the first time after I got 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.040 stoned a week after and I was like, oh, ship, 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.160 this one's by it, this one is yeah. And it's 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.679 not that marijuana is a gateway drug. It's that the 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:40.280 entire way that our society deals with narcotics um and 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:44.720 also deals with medicine and deals with attempting to inform 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.879 people about both, has led to a situation where it 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.720 is incredibly easy for nonsense like this to to get 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.320 perpetrated like it. It's it's not not blaming pot or 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.199 reggae for this, it's all It all traces back to 0:20:56.280 --> 0:21:00.880 the government um, as most problems do. But in this 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.280 particular case, the villains that we're speaking about specifically are 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.840 not well mostly are not members of the government. One 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.159 of them is that's coming up. So now, obviously, again 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.400 the Guardian was right to publish this article talking about 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.520 the fact that Grinnin and his followers had been mass 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:19.760 mailing Trump um prior to his disinfectant comments. Grinnan states 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.520 on this podcast that he sent Trump a letter um 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.959 heralding the power of drinking bleach, and that like at 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.359 least thirty of his followers had also sent letters to 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.200 the president. Uh. And a lot of people online, particularly 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.920 the folks tagging us, kind of translated this to mean that, oh, 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:39.200 Trump was influenced to suggest people drink bleach because members 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:42.360 of the bleach Church got to him. And as far 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.560 as I can tell, there's no evidence of this, and 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:46.800 it all I think it's also incredibly unlikely that this 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.760 is the case. Um. There's actually a picture of Trump 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:53.080 staring at like an infographic that talks about the benefits 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.399 of disinfectant and how quickly disinfectant can kill COVID nineteen 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.439 when it's out of the body that was taken right 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:00.200 before he went and gave his speech, and its seams. 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.240 It was probably just like a fucking stream of conscience, 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.720 this thing for him. It is incredibly implausible that Donald J. 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.400 Trump has ever heard of Mark Grinnin or the Genesis 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.879 to Church. And I think it's equally unlikely that he 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:16.920 was talking about Bleach when he thought about injecting disinfectants. Um. Now, 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:18.639 there's a couple of reasons for this. One of them 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.760 is that presidents receive a lot of letters. Like thirty 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:24.440 some odd letters from the Bleach Church doesn't really make 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:27.879 a dent in the actual total number of letters he receives. 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:30.240 I don't know how many letters Trump gets, but I 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.680 found in Atlanta News Now article from back in two 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:36.680 thousand nine about President Obama that stated that his administration 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:40.720 received something like sixty five thousand paper letters every single week. Now, 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.359 Obama had a standing policy of being sent ten of 0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:45.399 those letters at random every day. It was kind of 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:46.600 like one of the things he did at the start 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.320 of his day. Um. I don't know if Trump continued 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.480 this policy, but I doubt it. I think it's kind 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.240 of unlikely. You don't think you got up and read 0:22:54.440 --> 0:23:01.240 what the people thought, or entirely certain he can read. Yeah, yeah, 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.480 So I highly doubt Trump reade any of these letters. 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:06.480 And it's very unlikely that, like the fact that the 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.719
