WEBVTT - Steven Seagal Wrote a Book (We Read It) 0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:09.920 What's committing sex crimes? My actor who starred in Hard Target. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.520 I think Hard Target was. I have no idea film 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.240 is best best Target. There's no there's no film called 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.919 there's no film called Hard Target. It's hard to kill? 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:26.840 Maybe your hard is it hard to kill? Are you Wikipedia? 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.760 I just control f his Wikipedia page for Hard Target 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.880 and there's no results. No, no, there's Hard Target. Yeah, 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.480 he's in a final shootout with John Claude Van dam 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.680 wait or his hard and wait no Hard Target? Wait no, 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.760 yeah it's Van Damn and Steven Seagal. Uh yeah, directed 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:48.160 by John wu Um, let me double check on his film. Yeah, 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:54.360 John Claude Van Damn, his Chance Boudreaux. Um, wait no, 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.720 maybe he's not in this. Uh okay, Steven Seagal is 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:05.520 not in Hard tar Get. I don't know why. Where 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:10.480 we're already we're already trust me into this than the 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:15.720 biggest film on deadly ground. Probably. Yeah, there's a couple 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.480 of movies are so wild. His latest movie, not rated, 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:25.039 was Beyond the Laws. Well, that is actually a good 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.640 title for a movie about Steven Seagal because China sales 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.919 while he was working as a cop in a questionably 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.880 legal capacity. He rammed a tank into a guy's chicken 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.559 farm and maybe killed a puppy. I think that's that's 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:45.120 the allegation. Um, he's like got allegations of sex trafficking 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:50.680 against him, almost certainly sexually assaulted women. There's certainly allegations 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.240 of sexual to numerous He's basically every other year been 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.280 mobbed up. Yeah, and there's a lot by there's a 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.720 lot of interesting evidence behind the mobbed up thing. He's 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:06.320 connected to Putin, He's connected to Lukashenko, the dictator of Belarus. Um, 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.040 he's like he's just a he's a like a baffling 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.920 lye bad person like Steven, Like, right, you hear action 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.640 movies start and you're like, Okay, well I expect that. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.840 You know they've done some shady ship. They've endorsed products 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.680 that you know are made through human trafficking or whatever. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.040 They've probably sexually harassed people. Steven Seagal is like a 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.320 bad person for a male action star from the nineties, 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.919 Like he's the worst of them, and they're all almost 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.400 all pretty bad. Like he's he's the worst of them. 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.359 I guess we'd say Arnold Schwarzenegger is the best of them, 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.160 even though he also has allegations of sexual harassment against him, 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.840 but as far as I can tell, never sexually traffic 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.680 to human being. He does have pet donkeys or rammed 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:56.240 a tank into a guy's house. It's so wild, Like, 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.400 first of all, it's unhinged. It's fun. Fact he has 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.440 an extensive sword collection and a custom made guns made 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.720 for him once a month. Once had this happen for him, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.520 And then he also, um, I don't believe that, nor 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.560 do I. He Also we find out Steven Seagal is 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.400 writing Steven Seagal's own Wikipedia page. But also like, there 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.239 are all things that like clash completely, Like he's a 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.560 Buddhist and apparently he wrote an open letter of Thailand 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.480 in two thousand three that was urging them to indact 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.920 the law to prevent the torture of baby elephants. So like, 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:36.240 and then he was granted Pete Humanitarian Award. So he's like, yeah, 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.360 he's gotten some weird awards. He doesn't deserve them at all. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:46.040 He's a he's a weirdo. He cut an incredibly horny 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.040 album that includes a song where he says that he 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.600 wants the Punani tonight. Um, we did a two Parter 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.760 with Sean Baby about Steven Seagal, and he's um, He's like, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:02.480 he's pretty bad. He's annie. He says the word poonani sharene. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:08.920 Can I leave now? You can't hear the fact like 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.520 there's there's certain bridges you can't on cross right. It's 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.279 like the first time you see a dead body, like 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:21.200 you're a little different. Ever, every other day after that, Um, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.479 the first time you hear Steven Seagal sing that he 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.680 wants the poonani tonight, nothing is ever the same. It 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.240 fundament hot. Hearing you say that twice doesn't make me 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.839 the same either. Well, you know, it's kind of like 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.920 a vaccine. Sharene. So because it's going to have an 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.240 impact on you, but because I've said it, when you 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.800 hear Steven Seagal say, it will have less of a 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.280 toxic impact on you. I do want someone to just 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.560 take that the excerpt out and just have Robert saying, 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.760 whatever you said about the pani, what I've said the 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:59.360 word three times now. I don't like I Honestly, if 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.360 we're talking about this, I can't think of a word 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:05.239 I hate more than puni. One of the worst words 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:10.960 that's ever existed. It's just such a like if I 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.640 were like really into somebody and we were about to, like, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.520 you know, do a thing and they used that word, 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.719 I think I would stop. I think it would just 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.599 be like, well, that's weird, Like I can't, I can't, 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:26.320 we can't proceed, So say the word pani might be 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.440 who I hated that I said. That word is the 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.599 newest form of birth control. Yeah, I think it might 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.599 be more effective than an I U D. Yeah, okay, funny, 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.080 but it's fun simultaneously has all of the hormonal side 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.080 effects of an I. Somehow, I don't know a fact 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.440 about the origin. I just looked it up. I don't 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.719 know this her about the word or Okay, I don't 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.520 don't think we say it more than once, Robert, Okay, 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.000 you've said it like six times straight and I'm concerned. Yeah, 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.719 we didn't want all with pani now, Yeah, okay. Apparently 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.200 it was first used in the colum A Sutra, and 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.440 it's a word to describe the female to talia. Surprise, surprise. 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.360 But then the Hawaiian slang for vagina or volva is 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:13.000 also that word, and it means beautiful flower. So you know, 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.479 you like, I feel bad now, but I also just 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.479 hate it. I hate what a white person says that is, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:24.360 that's that's fair, right, yeah, a white man. Yeah, I'm 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.400 sure it's a fine word within its original context and 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.880 the culture that it was birthed. But Steven Seagal has 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.440 has done unmitigated damage to the time recording it on 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:40.279 a song's it's done now, there's no more, there's no Yeah, 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.560 I'm sorry to the the real meaning of it. You 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:48.000 don't deserve that beautiful flower because Steven Seagal. I don't 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.080 even want to talk about Steven Seagal and flowers. That 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.880 just that in and of itself feels gross to me. Sharine. 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.320 Do you like the written word? Sure, novels fiction? Yeah? 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:03.680 I pretend to sometimes. Yeah, who doesn't love a good 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.480 a good piece of just really getting able to like 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.760 dig in and get you know, so to speak. Poonani 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.480 deep in in a in a real work of fiction 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:21.200 that hated that fiery passion. One of my favorite books, 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.760 one of my favorite books. Actually, it came out a 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.560 couple of years ago. The author is so fascinating, the authors, 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.200 I should say, Um, it's called The Way of the Shadow, Wolves, 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:36.679 the Deep State, and Hieing America. Sharine I have incredible news. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.360 That's what we're reading today, my favorite book. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.520 it's gonna be pretty great. Um. So we talked about 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.560 this during the Ben Shapiro's Unreadable Book episodes about maybe 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.679 maybe doing you know, the Way of the Shadow Wolves 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.520 with Katie and Cody. But then I got mailed, um 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.840 actually an antique book from like a century ago that 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.000 I'm going to read with them, and it it just 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.520 but I still wanted to give people the Way of 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.960 the Shadow Worlds because this is a special book. So 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.840 it's written by Steven Seagal and a fellow named Tom Morrissey. 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.640 Tom Morrissey is a former U. S. Marshall, a businessman, 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.240 a writer, and a musician. I'm getting this from the 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:22.000 website where he ran for mayor of Pason Arizona, UM 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.560 and he looks like the guy like okay. Born and 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.920 raised in Brooklyn, New York, Tom started his writing career 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.360 in the music business as a songwriter and performer. He 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.120 wrote songs for such greats as Ray Charles, Richie Havens, 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.559 Brooke Benton, and The Crazy Elephant. I only know who 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.640 Ray Charles is, and I don't know if this is true. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.079 He might be lying. He wrote a book with Steven Seagal, 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.960 so keep that in mind. Um. He says he spent 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.720 a lifetime studying martial arts, including a rare form of 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.160 Chinese internal martial arts known as Shingey, under Grand Marshal 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.480 Master Kenny Gong of Canton, China. I have to assume 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.640 he's lying about that, because again, Steven Seagal claims to 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.959 be a martial arts master, but you can find videos 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.360 of him doing his his bullshit throw people martial arts, 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.600 and it's just people who have been paid to make 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.880 him feel like a big man, like he can't. Martial 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.600 arts to white men is what yoga is too white women, 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.640 you know what I mean, Like they have they shouldn't 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.840 be there. Yeah, it's like they should create so much. 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.800 I've known some people who get into like you know, 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.480 jiu jitsu or whatever, and like it can be it's 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.920 great for your health, it can be useful in a 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.400 variety of ways. That's not what Stephen Seagal does. Steven 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.199 Seagal pretends to throw people in videos where you can 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.760 hear him wheezing hard enough that he nearly collapses. Every 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.360 single person both on this podcast and listening to it 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.000 could take Steven Seagal in a fair fight. I feel 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:47.240 incredibly confident of that. Um Like, there's not a doubt 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.679 in my head that no matter who you are listening 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.959 to this you could take And there's like a twelve 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.800 year old listening. And I want you to know, Yes, 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.080 you too could drop Steven Seagal if you had to, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.679 and it it wouldn't be that big a deal for you. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.080 I promise you. He's gonna get him where it hurts, 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.320 like in his knees, like he's not He's like an 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.480 old person now, you know, Like I don't he fight back? Really, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.800 I don't mean to you shouldn't beat up old people, 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.040 but you should beat up Steven Seagal. You should beat 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.199 up Steven Seagal. You should have done that, no matter 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.040 his age, because he physically abused a number of the 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.040 women he was intimate with, probably all of them based 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.520 on what we know. Um again, he's a monster. So 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.280 Tom Morrissey is his co author on this because Tom 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.880 Morrissey is a U. S. Marshal and I believe the 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.240 character Steven Seagal, Steven Seagal self insert character in the 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.640 Way of the Shadow Wolves is also a U. S. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:41.360 Marshal and as you noted, the the sub headline or 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.440 the subtitle is The Deep State and the Hijacking of America. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.559 And on the front cover, the front cover of this 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.199 book is one of the best things I've ever seen 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:55.520 in life. It's it's Steven Seagal wearing like a seventies 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.280 leather jacket with like the tassels all down the front, 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:04.000 which is mother fringe. And I believe it's I mean, 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.160 he claims to have indigenous ancestry. I think I don't 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.040 sure how accurate that is, because again, he lies about 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.880 almost everything. I think the jacket is him appropriating Native culture. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.199 He's going to buckle that I think is a head 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.640 dress belt buckle, and he's wearing a huge all of 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.800 this is clearly photoshopped on to his body, a huge 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.840 turquoise amulet. You can also see him carrying a gun 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.720 the wrong way and a shoulder holster through the jacket, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.960 because if you can see I carry a shoulder holster 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.560 a lot of the time. If you can see the 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.439 gun through the split in the jacket when it's open, 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.079 you're not carrying it properly. The point is that your 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.200 gun is not visible because it's a conced anyway, but 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.400 like no, but the way his hand is on the jacket, 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.760 it's almost like here, it is like he wants you 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:51.120 to see, like packing, he wants you to see he's 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.360 carrying a gun the wrong way. Because also it's not 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.000 just that it's visible, it's that the handle is visible 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.880 right below his stern um in the center of his chest. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.080 I don't know how you could wear a shoulder holster 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.600 in a way that would display the gun in that 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:12.319 it's it's it's wrong everything about it. He's not a man. Yeah, 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.000 I mean, I love that. I already thought the cover 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.920 was ridiculous, but I love that you brought like factual 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.319 evidence that it is ridiculous. You know, I would never 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.200 have looked at that and been like, how do you 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.560 wear a gun that way? You know what I mean? 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:30.079 So thank you. There's some chick we're look there are 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.000 some it might I guess it's theoretically possible. He's wearing 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.320 a chest rig for the guns. So there's shoulder holsters 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.000 and then there's rigs where you strapped the gun in 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:38.800 the middle of your chest and it's meant to be 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.920 open carried if you're like out in the back country 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.720 in Alaska, and you might encounter a grizzly bear and 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.920 you want to very quickly be able to access a 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.560 firearm because you're worried about bears. People carry guns that 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:53.959 way for hunting. Sometimes people like Marshalls don't conceal carry 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.640 guy anyway, I'm going off too much on this guy's 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.440 Carrie rig but it's baffling to me. It's one of 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.120 the many things about this book. Yeah, just based off 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:07.320 what I've quickly read that it's baffling. What's a funny 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.000 is the photos on the back cover. Have you seen that, Sophie. 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.520 We have a lot to get into here. It's hilarious. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:21.080 It's like, what you have to take this one by one, Sophie, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:22.640 otherwise we're not going to get through any of this 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:27.000 fair enough. On the cover, outside of the clearly heavily 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.439 every aspect of the photo of Steven Seagal in the 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.080 front of the cover is photoshopped. Behind him is a 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.160 giant wolf that takes up half of the cover with 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.320 its staring eyes. He's directly in the middle of the 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.240 wolf's staring eyes. What gets me is that he probably 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.600 thought he was he thought this He's got a fucking 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.360 print of this book cover in his house and it's 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.839 twelve feet tall. You know, he does this gets him 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.920 a half chub whenever he walks out into his living room. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.080 I don't want to imagine him getting a half chubb. Okay, yeah, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.240 we didn't want to a man him saying poonani. But 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:06.840 that's no more, no more that he wants the punati tonight. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.280 That's the way it goes. It was so that this 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.960 book was self published, like no one wanted to publish it. Yeah, 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.800 this was he found a vanity publisher who was I 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.720 wonder if it's the same publisher published Bin Shapiro's unreadable book. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.160 It says it was self published on Wikipedia. But I 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.640 wonder what, like if they went through like a distributor 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.920 or something. Yeah, I think, I mean they did to 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.040 some extent, because Steven Seagal didn't figure out the kindle 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:35.200 layout himself. He didn't figure out printed. They hired someone. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.240 It just wasn't Probably publisher did not say we like 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.080 this book. Here's money. You know, Um, he paid to 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:48.400 have this published. His power is publishing LLC. Yeah, it's 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.160 bad trying to figure out why why he has his 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.200 He wants you to know he's packing. He's like, look 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.800 at me, I'm a big shot. His hands, his hands, 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.280 Wait are you. I'm not going to jump ahead, but Robert, 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.240 please tell me you're going to read some of these 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.760 reviews of this book. Yeah, we might. We might either 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.080 start or end with that. I'm looking up his publisher 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:12.320 right now, Fifth Palace Publishing. Well, thank god. Let's see 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.080 how their Facebook is doing. Um, three and sixty four 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.320 people like it, three or seventy two people follow it. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.400 So oh and the most recent post is from two 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.000 thousand eighteen, and it's about the Way of the Shadow Wolves, 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.440 of course, of course. Yeah, and it it says entertaining 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.640 in the beginning, chilling in the end, with big dot 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:36.720 dot dots in between, both from and it's too Amazon 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:42.240 review where that was. It's all so good. Oh my god, 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.240 it's amazing. So the sharene we're having a tangent here 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.560 because this is the last post. It's three years old. 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.560 January nineteen, two eighteen, was the last post from Fifth 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.440 Palace announcing the publication of Way of the Shadow Wolves. 0:15:55.920 --> 0:16:01.360 The only commenter on that post, which had is eighteen 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.320 shares and a hundred and eighteen likes, one guy named 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.760 Ron Johnson commented eight times. All of his comments are 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.160 in caps, and I'm going to read his comments from 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.600 top to bottom. Okay, and again these are in all caps. 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.800 I am not asking you for his phone number, because 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.520 I know you cannot do that. However, have him call 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:27.680 my post one post two. Therefore, I truly would appreciate 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.200 it if you could contact my cousin Tom and ask 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.240 him to give me a call at my beach house 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:36.040 in Smyrna, Florida. My home fun phone number is as Fellows. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:37.920 I think he meant to type follows and then he 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.760 puts his phone number there. Um. These are from a 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.840 year ago. Okay, I hope he got help. He keeps 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.120 posting he's talking to. Tom also has a brother named 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:52.080 Charles and a sister named Linda. When I was a teenager, Thomason, 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.840 What is this about? Oh? So he knows Tom Morrissey. 0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:00.160 I guess, um, he's My name is Ron Thompson. I 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.800 am a swedo s U E d O. I don't 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:07.159 know what the funk that means? Um? Can I that 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.960 just like this is baffling? Okay? Yeah, I do want 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.320 to say, I don't know. I just really may want 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.040 to make sure people hear what actual publications said about 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:21.120 this book, like Vulture called it completely bash it insane, 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:26.400 The Phoenix, New Times called it garbage and breathtaking, Lee 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:31.679 bad Um hard to follow, Who's speaking fight scenes that 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.200 were even more boring than the dialogue. These are quotes 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:39.440 from actual what amazing. So we're in for a real 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.840 treat now. I want to cover because I promised Sophie 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:46.480 we would the back cover, which is not And where 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.160 are you seeing the back cover? Because it's not fucking 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.919 Send this you send that, Send that ship into the 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.399 into the chat, and we'll dig into this son of 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.640 a bitch. By the way, obviously we're doing a book 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.440 episode because I don't have time to write as much 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.119 as I would like to, So you can just what 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:06.600 are you gonna do? What are you going to complain? 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.800 You know, no, you're not going to go listen to Cometown. 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:15.920 Probably some of you this book come down. I only 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.560 paid to the Kindle, but I'm just going to ask 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.280 to um. The thing that we always do with these 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.520 is you get it on Kindle and then you immediately 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.240 request a refund when you're done with the episode, and 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.240 it generally works pretty well for us. So yeah, the 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.560 back cover is absurd, so so so so Tom Morrissey's 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.840 photo on the back crystal, We'll get to Stephen. But 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.120 Tom Morrisy's photo on the back cover looks like they 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:46.240 found a random photo on like a relatives Facebook page 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:52.600 from a wedding. Yeah, him as it it's clearly him 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.919 at an event and they've just cropped his face and 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.480 he doesn't photographed. Like the photo of him on the 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.000 back of this book is the moment of him realizing 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.920 he's part of a larger photograph and he doesn't look 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.719 happy about And this is this is the best photo 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.600 they could find for the book that he wrote with 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:15.800 Steven Seagal um absolutely incredible. So here's here's And the 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.840 Stephen Seagal photo is easily twenty five years old, like 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:25.160 this Stephen is from the nineties. Yes, And so here's 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:29.800 what is very funny. I have to read the bios. 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:34.359 Stephen Seagal is an actor, producer, screenwriter, director, alleged rapist 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:39.240 and human sex trafficker, martial artist, sheriff, musician, and international businessman. 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.720 Born in the USA with mohawk heritage, He is passionate 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.560 about restoring the Constitution as the foundation for a republic 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.040 and a return to responsible stewardship of Mother Earth, such 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.840 as practiced by the Native Americans. Tom Morrissey is a 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.000 retired Chief Deputy U. S. Marshal, martial artist, veteran of 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.000 the U. S. Army, musician, author, political leader, and activist. 0:19:58.160 --> 0:19:59.840 He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, to 0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:02.600 a Luke Caller family and a culturally diverse community. He 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.480 loves to tell a good story about his dream of 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.080 the return of his country's founding principles with power back 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.560 to the people. And there is an there is a 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.359 a blur ab on the back that's like a huge 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.560 paragraph from Louie McKinney, former director of the U. S. 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:21.000 Marshall Service. The guys who have been assassinating people lately. Um, 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:26.040 both that dude, UM Winston Smith in a uh Minneapolis 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.000 and uh Michael ryanhol in Portland. Uh. The guys who 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:32.359 I don't know probably tear gassed me. I mean I 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.199 think I only got gassed by the marshals like a 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.159 dozen times and shot with some musicians. Garrison got gassed 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:40.320 by them more often. Um. There was a fun moment 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:44.080 where they were shooting specifically at Garrison and he didn't 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.720 realize it because he was so busy filming um Okay. 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.200 As director of the U. S. Marshall Service, I fully 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:53.000 understood the challenges which face all law enforcement officers in 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.080 their day to day activities. This is the story of 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.240 a tribal police officer who stumbles onto one of the 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.800 most notorious cases of all time in the Arizona Desert. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:01.879 Although it is fiction, the story could have come from 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.199 today's headlines. I know both of the authors and I 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.560 know their law enforcement experience. Which is evident is they 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.560 weave a tale of adventure, mystery, action and betrayal. Steven 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:12.040 Seagal is not only a master martial artist in film 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.440 star He's neither, but also as an experienced police officer 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.639 he is not. Tom Morrissey is a retired Chief Deputy U. S. 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.640 Marshall from Arizona who has intimate knowledge of the work 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:23.960 in the local area. Together they have written a book 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:25.520 which had me feeling like I was back on the 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.479 street protecting the citizens of this great nation. So I 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.920 have to again he was legally a law enforcement officer 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:36.120 because he was deputized by Sheriff Joe R. Pio, Arizona, 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:41.040 sharing wh Yeah. One of the things that has been 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.560 done for years is Arizona sheriff's will deputize any rich person, 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.160 like especially in rural Arizona, any rich person who's really 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.440 just been like a weekend or two a year pretending 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.040 to be a schriff's deputy, not like England nighting people 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:54.600 know there's a there's a real benefit to it, unlike 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.919 being Um, if you are if you are, if you 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.440 basically get a sheriff's deputy, two deputy ties you even 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:01.800 if you only do it once a year and you 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:04.680 don't live in Arizona, you can then carry a concealed 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:08.560 gun basically everywhere because cops can. So that's why, like 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:10.399 rich dudes will do it. As you get this, you 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.920 basically get law enforcement rights to carry a gun any 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:18.639 fucking place. Um. So that's the kind of cop that 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:22.120 show are or that well that both that that Steven Seagale. 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:25.560 So God, but this has been quite quite the introduction 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.240 to the way of the shadow wolves, um and the 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.760 deep state and the hijacking of America. UM. I want 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.359 to read the dedication first, so we can start after 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:37.560 the break with Joe R. Pio. We dedicate this book 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:40.239 to the Native Americans who have victims of genocide by 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.640 the early invaders from Europe, to the tribal police who 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:44.280 combined the old ways in the new to defend our 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:46.760 border with intelligence and integrity, to the U. S. Marshals, 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.119 most of whom represent the ideal of the Texas Rangers 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:53.560 who massacred indigenous people. Who's who whose job was to 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:57.080
