Yeah. Fuck, it's crazy. I 62 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: really really struggle with length of jail time and what's appropriate. 63 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: I've talked about this a million times before. But just 64 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: like you know, because in theory I do not I 65 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: do not believe in a punitive justice system. However, that 66 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: is the only version of justice that we currently have. 67 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: So we can't just like start being forgiving to people 68 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: who have caused real harm when we are not yet 69 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: in a system that allows that hard to be repaired 70 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: in some other way. My mom you're gonna get real 71 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: for a second, y'all's triggering episode. My mom was raped 72 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: when I was a kid by a man who broke 73 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: into our house. Wow, I was awake for it. I 74 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: heard her screaming sorry. It's very triggering that man. And 75 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: this is like best case scenario, right, because most rapes 76 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: are not like this. Most rapes are with somebody that 77 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: you know, you can't tell if they're violent, you're like 78 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: confused about what happened. Like that is the majority of rape. 79 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: In this case, she was what is called the perfect 80 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: victim where it was violent. It was like a literal 81 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: break in. This man went. 82 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: To jail for two years I think that's. 83 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: And had raped other women but did not get convicted 84 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: for those rapes because they were blamed. It's like a 85 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: whole fucking thing. So it's like when we are utilizing 86 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: the criminal justice system that we have, It's like people 87 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: are in prison for years and years and years and 88 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: years for marijuana offenses, but then people who have like 89 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: physically traumatized other humans go to jail for like two years. 90 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: It's insane. 91 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, when a man jerked off against my window pane 92 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: and I had to call the LAPD Oh my god. 93 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: Two very nice men cops came and went inside of 94 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: my house and sat down and they were like, we 95 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: just have to tell you the LAPD does not give 96 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: a flying fuck. Yeah about this. There's there was somebody 97 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: in my neighborhood raping people. They're like, it's probably him. 98 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: They don't care. They only care about drug offenses because 99 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 2: that's where money is. 100 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: So we'll take it. 101 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: We'll write this down and we'll take it back and 102 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: do it's going to be thrown away. We're just telling 103 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: you love how much the system cares about women, And 104 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: I'm great, that's cool. We care about women and people 105 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: of color totally. 106 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: Is that's who they value clearly? 107 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 108 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Lord, Okay, well my culty is thing.

Do you know? 169 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,679 Speaker 3: I was on TV discussing this whilst it was happening 170 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: in Britain, with fact lots of minds views were shown 171 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: in America. No, I've no idea what happened. Except one 172 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: thing I can talk about is if, as they can 173 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: talk about because with any authority, because I don't know 174 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: anything about anything, if I was to have cloned a 175 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 3: human being, and I said to the world I've cloned 176 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: a human being, and I'm going to offer the proof 177 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 3: that was my intention, That's one thing. If then the 178 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: country that I am a subject in, as in I'm 179 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 3: a citizen of Great Britain. If they then passed a 180 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 3: law saying that any British citizen anywhere in the world, 181 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: it is illegal for that person to clone a human being, 182 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 3: an extradition will be sought wherever possible for the rest 183 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: of that person's life. If they show any indication at 184 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: all of either in the past experimenting on human cloning, 185 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 3: having done it successfully, or making claims, we will pursue 186 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: them with the full extent of the law and put 187 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: them in prison. Would you then offer the proof only 188 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: a forward? Only a forward. So when the French government 189 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 3: got together with the American government and passed laws saying 190 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 3: a it is illegal be a French citizen anywhere in 191 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: the world, they strengthened the extradition to France and America, 192 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: and they start saying, you cannot now any French citizen 193 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 3: anywhere in the world. It's a full thirty year prison sentence. 194 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: Whatever they actually decided, I forget now to soe many 195 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 3: years ago. Okay, then find I won't give you the proof. 196 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: I wouldn't give you the evidence. I wouldn't give you 197 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: the evidence. I'd be like whatever. So the law that 198 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 3: I was watching develop, that's what happened. I didn't speak 199 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: to bridget throughout this whole thinker. She was very busy, 200 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: and I was just asked my ethical thoughts on cloning 201 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 3: being Aralian, as she's Aralian, and that's all I can 202 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: talk about. But I did watch the law change in France, 203 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 3: and it did change and there's effect. And I did 204 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 3: watch the extradition between France and and America being strengthened 205 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 3: by the presidents of the United States, and that did happen. 206 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: And so I wasn't in the vaguest bit surprised that 207 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 3: nothing ever came out, because no, of course, nobody wants 208 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 3: it to come out. If it's true, it's scary for 209 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 3: many many people, especially if the government are in full 210 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 3: control of it, and they weren't. They still aren't because 211 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 3: they're not legislating, they're not discussing, they're not having an 212 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: open debate, which is what's important. We're still not. 213 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: Wasn't that banned in two thousand and one, which was 214 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: the year before she made the announcement, what ban the 215 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: ban on human cloning? 216 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,599 Speaker 3: Again? In some countries they banned human cloning as in 217 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 3: reproductive human poning. Most countries hadn't banned it, like America, 218 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 3: most countries had discussed banning it, but hadn't yet banned it. 219 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I meant, I meant in France. 220 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 3: In France, no, they discussed banning stuff. It is discussed. 221 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: They're saying we're going to ban this. We got But 222 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: things are banned only when they're banned. And it's also 223 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: very very easy to say we are now we're going 224 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: to put a green passport in place for all of Europe. Well, yeah, 225 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: I've been here in that six months and year. Two 226 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: years will be five years, it will be eight years. 227 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: Because the law is massively complex, it's not easy to 228 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: do so to talk about it, but actually banning it 229 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: is something completely different. So had that happened. No, of 230 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 3: course not so, because no laws were ever broken to 231 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: my knowledge, and certainly not seen any accusations of any 232 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: laws actually being broken by Bridget during those debates, although 233 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: again I'm not qualified to talk about it. I wasn't 234 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 3: following her. I was talking epically about do I think 235 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 3: potential of cloning is a good thing or a bad thing? 236 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 3: Do I know what happened? No, except I do know 237 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: absolutely no insane human being under the criteria that the 238 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 3: French and the America government working together to make happen, 239 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: would have ever offered proof at any point from the 240 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 3: moment the law was changed in France and in America 241 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: in order to stop it happening. And there's lots of reasons, 242 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 3: and we could debate without any knowledge that because I 243 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 3: have no knowledge of that, I could say, but the 244 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 3: American military, of course they will have done it, because 245 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: why wouldn't they have the technology, The British military, the 246 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: French military. I don't know any of that, and how 247 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: could I I'm just an a musician with the Railian person. Yes, 248 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 3: opinions on these things, but like so much airtime, just 249 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 3: people's opinions. 250 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: So there aren't like official positions coming down from real Basically, 251 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 1: you're just kind of deciding for yourself what you think. 252 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 3: Well, no one's ever no one's ever said to me 253 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: what I should think. If they did, I'm sorry, excuse me. 254 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: I know I'm not don't tell me what to think, 255 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 3: and certainly don't ever think you can tell me what 256 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 3: I'm allowed to talk about. If you don't like what 257 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: I say, really, movement, and if you don't like anything 258 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: I've said, into kick me out. I'll just go Okay, 259 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 3: thank you about a great time. I love your movement, 260 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 3: and if you don't mind, that's still come along and 261 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: teach meditation for you. But I'm not afraid of you. 262 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 3: I'm not afraid of you kicking me out. I'm not 263 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: afraid of being running it or not running. I don't care. 264 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 3: I don't care about those stupid minutia, pointless ego driven 265 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: things like I don't care. So if someone tells me 266 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: what to say, good luck, good luck, because I'm not easily. 267 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: Controlled, museum quite strong minded. 268 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Like it's like I'm not gonna I'm not 269 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: gonna pretend not to be either. I'm not going to 270 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: be all. It's a very wonderful thing. And there're an 271 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 3: philosophy about humility, but humility is something that I struggle with. 272 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 3: I struggle with. I'm not going to be. Oh, of course, 273 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 3: I defer my my everything to your wonderful wisdom because 274 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 3: you're two months older than me and all of that 275 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 3: living you who gives I like, No, I have an opinion, 276 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 3: and sometimes my opinion is dead right. Sometimes it's dead wrong, 277 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 3: and that's just the truth of life, you know. And 278 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 3: if it's wrong, and if someone can show me that 279 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 3: I am wrong, I'll say you're absolutely right, I didn't 280 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: think that through, or I'm wrong, I'm uncomfortable without being 281 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: wrong about that particular issue. Whatever. I don't know what 282 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: i'd say, because it's. 283 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: Not do you like talk to rail? Do you guys hang? 284 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: What's your like level of contact? 285 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 3: Yes, there's not not for not for a while, actually, 286 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: you know, not not for a while because because he 287 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: now lives in in in Asia, so I don't see 288 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 3: him so much generally because because I'm an actor for 289 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: one thing, and I am either working and I'm not 290 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 3: allowed to take time off because often if I'm in something, 291 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: i'm the lead role and therefore after and build or 292 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 3: you know, you know, they don't like me to take 293 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 3: holidays during a contract, et cetera. And when I'm not 294 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 3: working on penniless, I've got the money, so I've had 295 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: a business and run other things, so I can potentially 296 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 3: travel sometimes. But often if I work well for a 297 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: couple of years, I work well and I earned good money, 298 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: then I might not work for three years to let 299 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 3: that level. So then I have to budget it. I 300 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 3: have to budget they're five thousand pounds a week. I 301 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 3: got over the next four years. So all of a sudden, 302 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 3: that five grand a week becomes payable in tax at 303 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: forty percent, which removes it down to to like fifteen 304 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: hundred pounds a week. 305 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: Whatever, why, I know the struggle and then you're spreading 306 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: it out. 307 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 3: Then you're spreading that fifteen hundred pounds over within five years. 308 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: So really I only earned two hundred pound a week, 309 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 3: So how the fuck can I survive on that and 310 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: go to two pounds? So no, I don't. I haven't 311 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: seen him for a while, but did I used to 312 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 3: have lunch with him when he was in Britain. Yeah, 313 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: he's an interview's interesting. He'd love you. He loves artistic, 314 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 3: creative people. He'd love to hear your opinions. He'd love 315 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: to go Oh that's interesting thought. Yeah, I had that thought. 316 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 3: I don't agree with you on that. Why would you 317 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: say that you have a proper conversation with you. He's 318 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 3: not He's not untouchable and he's not He's just he's 319 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 3: an interesting character. You know. Yes, I've hung up with him. 320 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: Would you know walking down the street seeing rail, would 321 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: there be something like special about him that you would notice? 322 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: Or is just like regular guy? 323 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: Well? If I if I walk down the street and 324 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 3: saw rail, you. 325 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: Go glare now right, Well, if I walk down the street, 326 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: if you. 327 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 3: Walk down the street, he'd probably notice it charisma first 328 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 3: and foremost. Then he'd notice you're a woman. Then he'd 329 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: noticed or you know, excuse me, I'm not telling you 330 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: how you're identifying, big faux path, but you know, he 331 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 3: will notice that you're a charismatic, alive, awake person, and 332 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: because but that's who he is. I mean, look, look 333 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 3: what you do.

Who's going to notice that he's a heterosexual 337 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 3: male even though he's eighty years or seventeen, thanks, so 338 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 3: I should know all these things. I'm not raily correct 339 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 3: in the sense that I don't know exactly how old 340 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 3: he is. I don't care as long as he's happy 341 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 3: and healthy, mind, but he would notice you, and he 342 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 3: would he'd notice how he dresses because he wears often 343 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 3: weird white clothes and he does that on purpose so 344 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: that some people. Let me tell you a little story, 345 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: is that the moment I became Railian and people knew it, 346 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 3: and I was outed by that actress said he believes 347 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 3: and he believes in aliens and all this stuff, and 348 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 3: people started to ask why and who this guy who 349 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 3: played Jesus believes that aliens and all that nonsense. That 350 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 3: happened for years, But from that moment onwards, I used 351 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 3: to walk into a room. Before that, i'd walk into 352 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: a room because I'm a heterosexual male, right and a 353 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 3: lot of the time, I'm very open. So I was 354 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 3: always getting my heart broken. I was always getting lighted 355 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 3: by somebody, and I believe everything anybody said to me, 356 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: So I was like any partner. So it was always, 357 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: you know, totally always open to getting my heart broken. 358 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 3: And I didn't ever have to carry baggage, so I 359 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 3: was just always stupid and always always like, you know, 360 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 3: you're love it really like you let's you know, let's 361 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: let's have fun to get over. So I was always 362 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 3: very open. And at that time, I'd walk into a 363 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: room and people somebody I'd noticed, some people would you know, 364 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 3: be smiling, some people would be smiling, just general normalness 365 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 3: of how you walk into a room and meet people. 366 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: The moment I became known as being ralliant. Everything changed 367 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 3: in the sense that I stayed exactly the same, but 368 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 3: how people perceivedly changed overnight. So I'd walk into a 369 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: room and you get some people going to don't look. 370 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 3: You see all of that all the time, and then 371 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 3: some people walk over to me and they go, like, 372 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 3: I watch to Stephen Ashfield, who is a Christian, and 373 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: he's one of the nicest, most loving, kind sweet talented 374 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 3: Scottish actors. You know, he's an amazing, lovely friend of 375 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 3: mine now. And when I first met him, we did 376 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 3: Jersey Boys together. He was Bob Gordio and I was 377 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: Tom Vito and this is the original West End cast. 378 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: And it came over to me on the first day 379 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: and went, I wanted to talk to you. You believe 380 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 3: that aliens exist, and you believe that they created life 381 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 3: in the same way as I believe in in God 382 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 3: created life. We've got to sit down and have a 383 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: conversation about this. You also meet proper true human character 384 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: like that, honest, open, not afraid totally. So everything changed 385 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 3: for me in the sense that I suddenly could see 386 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 3: people for exactly who they were because of the way 387 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 3: that they thought I was a manipulator, a sex cult 388 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 3: whatever they thought, all mental imbalanced that I see all 389 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: this mental imbalance in people. I want to know you, 390 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 3: and I want to know you look I do, because 391 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 3: you know you're clearly smart, right. I think you disagree 392 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 3: with most of the stuff I'm talking about, But I 393 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 3: think I'd love to do what you actually really think, 394 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 3: because I'd love the actually to actually do that, because 395 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 3: that's who I am, and that's who Stephen is. Rail 396 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 3: wears clothes in the same way that I now wear 397 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 3: and Carter the Raelian cult leader in this is the 398 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 3: fact that he walks into a room and everybody is 399 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 3: wearing a big flashing beacon on their head by the 400 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: way that we judge every single person we meet. He 401 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 3: wears it in his clothes. So he wears that and 402 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 3: people respond to him and react to him in a 403 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 3: way that he can see you for exactly who you are. 404 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 3: And it's part of the technique that he uses in 405 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 3: order to either give you time or not waste time. 406 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: So he knows that people think of him as a 407 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: cult leader, and he owns it and like purposely like 408 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: leans into that to get a reaction. Basically, yeah, why 409 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: not make interesting why not? 410 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 3: Why hide? From what reason would he person we have 411 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: to do that. He fairly doesn't walk around going part 412 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 3: to see I Am coming with his hands on his hips. 413 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 3: He just walks around into a room and he wears 414 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: this stuff and he goes and sits in the restaurant 415 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 3: and people going who's that guy over there? Who's that 416 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 3: guy over there? And some people come and say what 417 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 3: who are you? And I'll say, oh, my name's Rayle. 418 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 3: Is my website? Check it out. He doesn't do anything 419 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 3: other than that. Like, it's not like he does it 420 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 3: in order to get special treatment. He doesn't need that. 421 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 3: He doesn't live in that environment where he would need 422 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 3: special treatment. People respect him. So what more special treatment 423 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: is that? An actual respect from people? Wow? 424 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: Well, I do have to ask one question about that. 425 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: It's actually a multi tiered question because you've used the 426 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: term sex cult a couple of times. I actually didn't 427 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: ever know that that was a part of the perception, 428 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: but I did some research. I've known about Realianism for 429 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: like twelve years. One of my good friends used to 430 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: read all about it and was really interested in it. 431 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: Actually he's my best friend, but you know, we didn't 432 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: talk about it for years, so only in doing research 433 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: for this interview did I stumble upon some of this information. 434 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask you about a couple things. 435 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: So there was a Playboy spread in two thousand and 436 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: five Rail's Girls. It's Rail with some of the women 437 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: who are part of the movement, and they're posing naked. 438 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: There's also a group of women in Burkina Fosso there's 439 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: a brilliant community there, right. 440 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, bikini Fasto is in Africa, so it is 441 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 3: part of the culture to be fairly topless in that 442 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: sort of environment of male and female. It's not just 443 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 3: the women who are topless in that environment, it's men 444 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 3: to heaven forbid with their nipples and all. 445 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 1: Well, yes, yes, so that totally makes sense. But then 446 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: there are like six women. I learned this from watching 447 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: a documentary. So if I'm getting something wrong, correct me. 448 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: But there are six elite members of this group and 449 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: they're called Real's Angels. Okay, And my understanding was that 450 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: Rail kind of sleeps with these women and that's there 451 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: are sort of like his girlfriends or whatever. Is that correct? 452 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have a clue. I don't know who do 453 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 3: you sleep with? 454 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean, like my boyfriend? 455 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, who else? Come on? Do you an attractive girl? 456 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 3: I'm an attractive guy. We're only separated by the by 457 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 3: the Atlantic Ocean? Well, you know what's do you know 458 00:22:59,119 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 3: what I mean? 459 00:22:59,560 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: Like? 460 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 3: Who do you really care? Honestly, if I was in 461 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 3: a position where I had five, six, fifty six or 462 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 3: even one beautiful woman, because that's my that's my sexual 463 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 3: orientation is heterosexual male. So that wanted to spend time 464 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: with me, and I really liked them, and I wanted 465 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 3: to spend time with them. Whose permission am I supposed 466 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 3: to ask? 467 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: Just? 468 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: Who is it? 469 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: Ah? 470 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 3: There he goes. It's just entirely up to me and 471 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 3: up to them. So if I am sure, without a 472 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 3: question of a doubt that Rail has had sex with 473 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 3: more than six people in his entire life, because I have, 474 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: you know, more than two hundred? Probably not me, you know, 475 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: probably not in that's definitely not. But it's better if 476 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 3: I say maybe thousands of them. Depends who cares. I don't. 477 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 3: I don't know who anybody sleeps with because they don't 478 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 3: make it any of my business. Is there an order 479 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 3: within the rail movement called angels? Yes, but my understanding 480 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 3: of the Angel Order is that it is a support 481 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 3: group for women within a movement, because the movement primarily 482 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 3: is run by women, So those women also have a 483 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 3: support group. Because what is probably throughout human history the 484 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 3: biggest oppressed and exploited group in human history probably women. 485 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 3: So I would suggest that if women can get together 486 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 3: and have a self development, personal growth organization within any organization, 487 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 3: then I support that. If they want to sleep with 488 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: Joe and you know or Julie or expertson, then good 489 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 3: luck to them, good luck to let ma. Sex is 490 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 3: anything organized as anything mandated? Absolutely not. Are individual adults 491 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 3: free always to be sexual expressive within the Rail movement? 492 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 3: Of course they are just like you are at work, 493 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 3: just like I am at work in the theater. If 494 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 3: I choose, and if the person wants that with me, 495 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 3: am I allowed to pursue it. Of course I am 496 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: the law against it. So these things absolutely exist as 497 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 3: part of human interrelations. And does Rail have sex with people? 498 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 3: I hope. So the longer and the healthier he is sexually, 499 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 3: the more likelihood the longer he's going to be mentally 500 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: and emotionally healthy, and the same for all of us. 501 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 3: So as long as everyone's consenting. If there is everyone, 502 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 3: If it's multiple people, fantastic, good good luck to him 503 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 3: or anyone else. As long as everybody is free, everybody 504 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 3: makes their own choices, nobody is coerced, nobody is in 505 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 3: any way having will imposed upon them, then it's the 506 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 3: freedom of human human beings. It's part of human rights. 507 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 3: Is anything organized in the really movements for our sex goes? 508 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 3: Absolutely not. But do I know that last time Rail 509 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: had sex with someone and who it was? No, Like 510 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 3: you know, if I live as long as he's lived, 511 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 3: and I can still I want to use words that 512 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: probably shouldn't. If I if I do get it up 513 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 3: and take, you know, sustain an erection and have sex 514 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 3: with somebody who wants to do that with me, and 515 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 3: I can give them some loving, lovely experience in their 516 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 3: life and in my life, then that's a good thing. Surely. 517 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 3: That's that's all I have to say about it. Anything 518 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 3: else don't I don't know. I don't know, just like 519 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: I don't know what the American government or the British 520 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 3: government are thinking. I don't know what I was thinking. 521 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 3: I don't know what he's what he's doing, except if 522 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 3: he or any Ralian anywhere on the planet did anything 523 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 3: that I knew about and could prove, or even heard 524 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 3: about and could investigate in order to find out that 525 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 3: was illegal, immoral, or cause the damage to anybody. I 526 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: will be the biggest and loudest advocate against that philosophy 527 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 3: and that movement than anyone any of the detractors that 528 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 3: say it's sex cult, it's this, that, and over, because 529 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 3: I've got a big mouth, and I will make my 530 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: voice heard however long it takes. I will stand for 531 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 3: the person who's getting bullied or controlled. And I say 532 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 3: that with complete and utter lack of humility. I will 533 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 3: go to my death fighting anybody who wishes to bully 534 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 3: anybody else or exploit anybody else. That is my pledge 535 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 3: to myself, and I don't give a shit what anybody 536 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 3: else thinks about that. I will not tolerate it anywhere 537 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 3: around me bad behavior. Therefore, as I've never come across 538 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: it in the movement, I'm comfortable within the movement. 539 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: You know, as someone who is in the entertainment industry, 540 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: I think you're probably you know very well aware of 541 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: like two subtle power dynamics that happen where you know 542 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: a Weinstein type or whatever, the cast and couch situation 543 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: where a person might not be explicitly instructed to physically 544 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: engage with someone, but there is an inherent power in 545 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: balance because one of the people in the room has 546 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: the power to, you know, change the life of the 547 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: other person in the room. So it's very hard to 548 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: call those encounters contensual. 549 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I agree, Yeah, I agree. 550 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: I only bring that up because I'm like, well, if 551 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: I believe that Rail is an actual prophet on Earth 552 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: who is half Elohem, and I think he's the you know, 553 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: literally the living prophet on earth today's Jesus, don't you 554 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: think that that is an inherent power and balance if 555 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: I believe that about Rael, don't you think that, you know, 556 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: even if he doesn't like, explicitly instruct me to do anything, 557 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: that that would create a dynamic that is such that 558 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: I maybe could feel like I should regardless of how 559 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: I actually feel about it. 560 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 3: Yes, And it is an incredibly important question. In fact, 561 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 3: amongst any question we've talked about today, is probably the 562 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 3: most important in my life opinion, certainly in the fact 563 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 3: that in our industry and in the theater, I have 564 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 3: fought to nail the exploitation of women in the evening. 565 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 3: I'm not going to say any of the names of 566 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 3: the theaters, but the theater industry here knows them well 567 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 3: and knows my circumstances where I fought them, where we've 568 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: been filmed in showers, where women have been exploited, where 569 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 3: felt the need, and I have become and got a reputation, 570 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 3: have been difficult as a result, and I am proud 571 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 3: of that reputation. But do I think that somebody in 572 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 3: the position of this sort as a rock star? Do 573 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: you know I mean, because you only believe that rail 574 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 3: is you know, you know this, that and the other. 575 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 3: If you if you're alien, And I don't want what 576 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 3: I'm going to say to be confused by it's only 577 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 3: people who think in raili in terms that should have 578 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 3: this thought process. We all are responsible for ourselves, and 579 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 3: that includes the rock star. That includes it includes him. 580 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 3: He's responsible for how what he is aware of in 581 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 3: the environment that he is. He's responsible for his perception 582 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 3: of it always, but he cannot be responsible for your 583 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 3: perception of it. He can only do the best he 584 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 3: can to encourage you to have the correct perception. Just 585 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 3: what I'm saying in the same respect as if I 586 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 3: am This is completely hypothetical, but if I was ever 587 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 3: in a position where I was an absolute god within 588 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 3: my industry and that young dancer, theater actresses coming into it, 589 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 3: all I had to do was go come to my 590 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 3: room and a girl come to my room, and I 591 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 3: could do whatever I wanted with that person because they 592 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: were submissive to me in every way. Because I am 593 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 3: this rock star performer. That of course, of course reflects 594 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 3: on me the type of person I am if I 595 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 3: was to behave like that, no getting away from it. 596 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 3: But it also becomes a point where if you are 597 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 3: an adult in an adult world, then you also have 598 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 3: to take responsibility for your own self, and in the 599 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 3: same regard as right now in the industry in Britain, 600 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 3: there has been discussion and certain some theaters whether saying 601 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 3: we are considering to mandate the use of the vaccine. Now, 602 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: whether you agree with vaccine or not is irrelevant to me, 603 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 3: because whether I agree with the vaccine or not is 604 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 3: irrelevant to what I'm saying is that as soon as 605 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: you start telling me what I have to do, then 606 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 3: it is my decision to do it or not. I 607 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 3: am responsible ultimately for what I do, and that is 608 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 3: in law morally, and that is in human rights. Also, 609 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 3: if I choose to take a pencil and write beautiful poetry, 610 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: if I choose to do that, that's my choice. If 611 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 3: I choose to take the same pencil and stab you 612 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 3: in the eye, the manufacture of the pencil isn't responsible. 613 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 3: The manufacture of the paper that had in front of 614 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 3: me isn't responsible. The only person responsible for my behavior 615 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 3: is me. And although there is absolutely shared responsibility in 616 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 3: almost every single thing we do, that ultimately has to 617 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 3: be personal accountability. Also, I have been groped. I have 618 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 3: been in my life as a younger man. I was 619 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 3: abused very lightly by people putting their hands down my 620 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 3: trousers and the theater in the backstage, you know, obviously 621 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 3: men who are stimulated by younger men. Did I allow 622 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 3: it No? Did I stand against it and make that 623 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 3: person uncomfortable and make it public? Yes? Did I fight 624 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 3: against it? Yes? But if I had chosen not to 625 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 3: because I wasn't personally confident enough, then I hope that 626 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 3: the responsibility of a collective responsibility of other people around 627 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: that would support me as a young person. And if 628 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 3: they don't, then the whole industry has come up. The 629 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 3: whole movement is corrupt if no one supports anybody when 630 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 3: they witness something. We are all collectively responsible for the 631 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 3: well being of everybody around us, but we are also 632 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 3: individually responsible, and you can't divorce one from the other. 633 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 3: We're collectively responsible, we're also individually responsible. The rock stars 634 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 3: responsible the victim to a degree at times, although not always, 635 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 3: of course, not always bears percentage of responsibility at times. 636 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 3: It is impossible to talk specifically in a generalized term 637 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: because I don't agree with that statement that I've just 638 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 3: made in every circumstance, but I do believe that we 639 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 3: bear certain amount of responsibility or your best collective responsibility, 640 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 3: and also a perpetrator of course bears responsibility. 641 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear what you're saying. I think it's very 642 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: dangerous to use words like unconfident to refer to people 643 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: who are not speaking out. I think the reality, you know, 644 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: as I've observed in my own life, and this is 645 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: just a broader conversation in general, is that like in 646 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: a perfect world, yes, we would all feel supported to 647 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: come forward. In a perfect world, we would all feel 648 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: strong and capable of talking about what's happened to us. 649 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 1: But in the actual world that we live in, there 650 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: is a lot, I mean from all sides, from law 651 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: enforcement to our culture that tells us that women lie, 652 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: to the social circumstances that we might be in. For example, 653 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: I personally have been assaulted by people who had more 654 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: power than I did in my industry, and I didn't 655 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: say anything because ultimately, like, you have to weigh what 656 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: the consequences are, and sometimes they're terrifying. Sometimes it's like, well, 657 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to lose my status in my community 658 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: because someone doesn't believe me, or or maybe I'm just 659 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: making it up. Like there's it's just so much more 660 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: complicated than like, I need to take responsibility for myself 661 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: if I'm in a situation. 662 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 3: Sure, but not do not believe surely that by saying 663 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 3: I had to weigh up whether they someone would believe me, 664 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 3: I had to weigh up whether that person's now too 665 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 3: perth to take away my chosen way of earning a living. 666 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 3: Do not see that that is you, to a degree, 667 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 3: bear responsibility for the fear. For example, on the last 668 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 3: Big show I did it in the West End. I 669 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 3: fought and had a guy that seven guys put on 670 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 3: notice and one guy fired for filming women in the 671 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 3: shower because they came to me, because they knew they 672 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 3: could trust my mouth, and they knew they could trust 673 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 3: me morally to stand with the person that was a 674 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 3: victim of that. They came to me and asked me that, 675 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 3: and I stood with them, and I was the mouthpiece 676 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 3: of having that person replaced. Now, if the people that 677 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 3: were aware of that situation had chosen not to do that, 678 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 3: to come to me and ask for help, and they'd 679 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 3: managed to do it on their own, I still want 680 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 3: to stand with them if they chosen to not do it, 681 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 3: because they have their own reasons for not doing it. 682 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 3: They're their reasons, they are. That's their responsibility to weigh 683 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 3: up their own thought pers and their own what costs more? 684 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 3: Is it going to cost me more to speak out 685 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 3: and fight for what I believe is right? Or do 686 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 3: I think my career ultimately is worth more than fighting 687 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 3: for what I believe is Personally, I've always sacrificed my 688 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 3: career for what I believe morally to be right. And 689 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's for everyone, and that's totally everyone's choice, 690 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 3: but it's certainly where I have worked in the industry, 691 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 3: I've worked that reputation is my reputation by and large 692 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 3: here in theater, and that's why it's certainly on that 693 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 3: particular show, people who didn't feel that they could stand 694 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 3: on their own came and asked me for help, and 695 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 3: I was very happy to give it. So, but that individual, 696 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 3: each person has to take because at what point are 697 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 3: you not responsible for your own choices? We are all responsible. 698 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: I mean, again, this is just a larger philosophical difference, 699 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: because that's also operating from the assumption that we are 700 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: all living and thinking and operating on the same playing 701 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: field of awareness, of awareness about what even sexual assault is, 702 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: of awareness about what it means to come forward. For 703 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: many many victims, they don't even realize that they're victims 704 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: because they're so indoctrinated by their culture or whatever is. 705 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's fair to eliminate the context 706 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: of somebody's experience. I mean, you're a science guy, Like, 707 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: we only know what we are exposed to, right, Like, 708 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: we only have the information that we have, so like 709 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: we can't expect people to have the information that like, oh, look, 710 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: if you've been victimized. Here's what you do, here's how 711 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: you'd be safe. A lot of people don't have any 712 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: resources at all. A lot of people don't even know that. 713 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: I just think like the personal responsibility argument can get 714 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: very problematic very quickly. I think that, like, especially when 715 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: you believe something really strongly, it can make it even 716 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: harder to see anything that could potentially be problematic. And 717 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: all that is to say, I think like, when there 718 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: is somebody with power or it is that person's responsibility 719 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: more than it is the other people's responsibility, you have 720 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: less power. 721 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,479 Speaker 3: I totlly agree with you far far. 722 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: More to be mindful of any potential imbalances, any dynamics 723 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: or situations where somebody might feel obligated or feel like 724 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: they have you know whatever I mean. And I'm glad 725 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: to hear you say that. I get the sense that 726 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: you're that kind of person. Like in the documentary, some 727 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: of the women in Burkina Fosso, we're talking about how 728 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: Rail tells them how much weight to lose, and that 729 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: attractiveness is really important. And I think that that is 730 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: the kind of thing also that that rubs me the 731 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: wrong way personally, because again there's a power and balance. 732 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 3: And yeah, totally hear that too. I totally hear that too. Honestly, 733 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 3: I thought you have I mean, I like you have 734 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 3: Schmid to make your documentary I think you're talking about. 735 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 3: I thought the documentary was it was a huge missed opportunity. 736 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 3: I thought it was a disappointment beyond you know, I've 737 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 3: interview meeth that documentary came over here and you know, 738 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 3: following me around for two or three days, and you know, 739 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 3: on my boat project, and I took him out on 740 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 3: this boat. We chated, we talked to philosophy, we spoke, 741 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,240 Speaker 3: and I spoke to him in exactly way I'm speaking 742 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 3: to you. He used nothing of me, which is totally 743 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 3: his absolute right, which is fine. But there were so 744 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 3: many interesting conversations that we had about stuff that was 745 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 3: it was. I honestly felt the documentary was in It 746 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 3: was a sensationalist and trivial and I'm sorry you have 747 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 3: and public apologies. I shouldn't really express an opinion on 748 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 3: your artistic work, but I was very disappointed in it 749 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 3: because I wanted a bit of more grit, a bit 750 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 3: more Come on, get down to some of these proper conversations, 751 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 3: and let's have the debate and discussion, but I don't 752 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 3: want to wander away just just a little bit, just 753 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 3: if you don't mind, if I just take a step backwards. 754 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 3: I hear every single thing you're saying about responsibility, and certainly, 755 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 3: which is why I say there's a collective responsibility, and 756 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 3: why I say the rock star absolutely cannot be at 757 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 3: any point absolves of responsibility at all. However, it is 758 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 3: a far more dangerous place to be in to say 759 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 3: that person has no responsibility at all in anything that 760 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 3: they do, because why Because at what point do I 761 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 3: think I am this person? They're that person. Therefore I 762 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 3: have all of the responsibility that they have. Therefore I 763 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 3: should make all of their decisions, and I should be 764 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 3: the one. In fact, I think maybe they should be 765 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 3: locked in a room. I think maybe at some point 766 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 3: we all have responsibility and we do in every single 767 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 3: thing that we do. I hear one hundred percent what 768 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 3: you're saying, and I agree with one hundred percent of 769 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 3: what you're saying. You know, in the sense that you 770 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 3: know it's so easy to condition people to accept modes 771 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 3: of behavior and things that this is normal when it's not, 772 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 3: and it mustn't be normal. These things are absolutely wrong 773 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 3: and we all should fight against them, and I will 774 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 3: till the day I die fight against manipulation, control and 775 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 3: the imposition of anybody's will on anybody else. But it 776 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 3: is a far more dangerous situation to find ourselves in 777 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 3: to say, but that person doesn't have any responsibility, They 778 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 3: can't bear responsibility because after a look at them, look 779 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 3: at them, they're not capable of being responsible. That's dangerous. 780 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 3: That is dangerous for anybody in society to say they're 781 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 3: not responsible for anything that they do. Look at them, 782 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 3: Come on. 783 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: Anything, No, I know. 784 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 3: But going from one extreme to another, which is where 785 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 3: you with respect taking it, which is you know there 786 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 3: are people who can't bear responsibility. They have to, We 787 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 3: have to. They can't be have responsibility and moved from 788 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 3: them because they are human being with human rights and 789 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 3: legal protections. In your American constitution, in British law, in 790 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 3: global human rights law, you have protections. We have protections, 791 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 3: and part of those protections requires us to be responsible. 792 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 3: We can't absolve ourselves of that. We cannot. And to 793 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 3: walk a road of I'm not responsible for anything is 794 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 3: abdicating responsibility to somebody else, which is just asking for trouble, 795 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 3: and I hear everything, and I certainly do not ever 796 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 3: support that behavior, not to men, not to women, up 797 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 3: to any children, to particularly any anybody in a vulnerable situation. 798 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean in general, like I think the 799 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,919 Speaker 1: baseline generally in the world, especially in America. I don't 800 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,240 Speaker 1: know about anywhere else where Realianism exists, but definitely in America. 801 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: There the baseline is an emphasis on personal responsibility. The 802 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,879 Speaker 1: foundation of the culture is such that we are all 803 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: expected to fend for ourselves and pull ourselves up, our 804 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: buy our bootstraps and whatever. These science shows though that 805 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: we are all immensely impacted by our environments. We are 806 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 1: immensely impacted by the culture that we live in, and unfortunately, 807 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 1: we do live in a complex world full of nuance, 808 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: and it would be so great if it were just 809 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: as easy as taking responsibility for yourself. But the fact 810 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: of the matter is that, like sometimes we are not 811 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: capable because of the information we have or have not 812 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: been exposed to. 813 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 3: I totally agree with and so. 814 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 1: I'm just very wary of that argument because like, yeah, 815 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: that's that's the foundation. But what's important to me is 816 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 1: to push forward as a culture in this more complex 817 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 1: understanding of like, we don't need to blame ourselves for everything, 818 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: because I mean, personally, I don't even believe in free will. 819 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 1: But that's another conversation, another conversation for another time. 820 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 3: I'd love to have it, but i'd love to have it. 821 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 3: That's the truth is. And I think I've had similar 822 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 3: conversations about free will to myself. You and I, from 823 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 3: everything I hear you say, are not in disagreement. But 824 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 3: I just want to make sure always that I cannot 825 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 3: ever even let it dangle there that in any way 826 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 3: I have the right to judge somebody else's ability to 827 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 3: assess themselves, stand for themselves, have responsibility for themselves. I 828 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 3: simply don't have that right, and neither does any other 829 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 3: individual you know, as individuals, I can say I just 830 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 3: don't know, I didn't know, I didn't know anything. I 831 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 3: didn't know anything. But even the law in those examples, 832 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 3: ignorance of the law isn't a reason not to follow it. 833 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 3: It's just not allowed. So it is a massively complex discussion, 834 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 3: which I think the crux of it that's important to 835 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 3: say good because again, you haven't said anything I don't 836 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 3: agree with at any point except a matter of we 837 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 3: always have to have responsibility, have to has to be 838 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 3: there is on my only slight deviation what we're saying, 839 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 3: but talking about talking about their own philosophy that yes, 840 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 3: everybody in it is responsible for every aspect that they 841 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 3: are around, that they have the ability to perceive in 842 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 3: the ability to do something about. You know, we're all 843 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 3: collective responsible for the welfare of everybody around us all 844 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,799 Speaker 3: of the time. That is just the truth of life. 845 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 3: And that's no, that's a certainly way operate in my life. 846 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: I was just going to say, you know, doing this 847 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: podcast and living the life that I've lived with my 848 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: own experience with extreme belief. Like I personally, we talk 849 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: to people all the time who truly just did not 850 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 1: know how to identify what was happening to them. They 851 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,879 Speaker 1: truly just did not have the information. And I think 852 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: it's really really important. I just want to emphasize, I 853 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 1: just want to end this particular debate by emphasizing that, 854 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: like anyone who has experienced abuse, it is not their 855 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: fault because it is our tendency to blame ourselves and 856 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: to say, well I should have done something, I should 857 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 1: have done something, I should have done something. But the 858 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: truth is that if something was done to you, that 859 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: person should not have done it. The responsibility is in 860 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: their hands, not in yours. 861 00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 3: So we can absolutely true. It's absolutely true, but we're 862 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,760 Speaker 3: talking about two slightly different things there, because no victim 863 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 3: is ever is responsible for the other person's behavior towards them. 864 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 3: It's it's I don't that we're not in disagreement, but 865 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 3: what I but you know, I could say just the 866 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 3: same thing again, which is for me to say that 867 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 3: that person or for you to say this person doesn't 868 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:26,759 Speaker 3: have the ability to be responsible for themselves requires a 869 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 3: definition in law that you're not qualified and I'm not 870 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 3: qualified to give. I'm not a clinical psychologist. I'm not 871 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,320 Speaker 3: you know, I don't have the ability to assess anybody's 872 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,280 Speaker 3: mental capacity to be responsible. And I think the moment 873 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 3: we start getting into that area of mental capacity and ability, 874 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 3: I don't have that and I certainly won't put an 875 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 3: opinion to it, because we all, until the law takes 876 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 3: it away, have responsibility for ourselves. And I don't disagree 877 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 3: with you, but it's a dangerous place to be in 878 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 3: to think that I have the right to say, yeah, 879 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 3: but that person doesn't have the right because I'm bit no, no, no, no. 880 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,240 Speaker 1: Nobody is saying this is the road. I just agree 881 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: that it's the road we're going down. I think the 882 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,800 Speaker 1: road we're going down is an awareness of trauma response, 883 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: an awareness of flight flight freeze, an awareness that we 884 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 1: only know what we know at any given time, and 885 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 1: then once we know it, we can proceed differently. I mean, 886 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: I just like, no one is talking about policing. I 887 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 1: think that is completing two separate issues. It sounds like 888 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: generally speaking, we agree, but we I lean definitely more 889 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 1: on the UH on one side, and you more on 890 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,399 Speaker 1: the personal responsibility side. 891 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 2: Is it kind of like what we're like, what we're 892 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 2: landing on is the angels are the angels, and theyll 893 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 2: live their lives, and then if they decide personally like hey, 894 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 2: I didn't like that, then then that's where the conversation 895 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 2: changes a little bit. But until then we have no 896 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 2: right to say that an angel isn't loving being an angel. 897 00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 3: I'm not part of the angel or so I don't 898 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 3: know what anything that they do, but certainly the I'm 899 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 3: telling you something now, the angels I do know. I mean, 900 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 3: they're powerful, intellectual, strong women and I've been educated by them, 901 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:18,359 Speaker 3: have been enlightened by them, have been frustrated by them, 902 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,720 Speaker 3: annoyed by them as individuals because of, you know, opinions 903 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 3: that we all have that are all slightly that there 904 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 3: is I don't. I don't know any. I don't there's 905 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 3: none that I am aware of that I have any 906 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 3: concern about, because I don't know anything about the Angel Order. 907 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 3: So because I'm not in it, I am a guy. 908 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 3: I'm fully on the outside of it. But in the 909 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 3: same respect as that nuns are like nuns in the 910 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 3: in the Christian faith are married to Jesus, you know. 911 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 3: They they wear a wedding gown, they get married, and. 912 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,320 Speaker 1: They haven't but they're not actually having sex with Jesus, 913 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 1: though I don't know what. 914 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 3: They're doing and I don't And what you don't know 915 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 3: is if they're they're all because then one could argue, 916 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,360 Speaker 3: but they're now being conned in the fact that Jesus 917 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 3: isn't real, therefore he's dead. Therefore they're now living a 918 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 3: life of celibacy, you know, And they're not allowed to 919 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 3: touch themselves because of this, that and the other perhaps 920 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,879 Speaker 3: like I don't know, I don't know, and I certainly don't. 921 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,759 Speaker 3: I'm not interested in that. All I'm interested in is 922 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 3: are they making the choice with their own free will? 923 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 3: Is it what they want to do? Do they consider 924 00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 3: themselves to be healthy? And if they want to get out, 925 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 3: can they get out? If someone wants to get out 926 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 3: of anything and they can't get out on their own, 927 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 3: and I hear about it or get the sense of it, 928 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 3: I'll be in theah. Call me yeah, I've got you 929 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 3: back the best I can. 930 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,879 Speaker 1: For the record, I'm in this situation. I'm more talking 931 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 1: about people who the people who have the power, and 932 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 1: less about the people who don't have the power. 933 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:56,080 Speaker 3: But I agree with people absolutely beare huge amounts of 934 00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:00,800 Speaker 3: responsibility and all of the people around them their responsible also, 935 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 3: And I do That's what I personally personally believe. But 936 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 3: you know, in law, I'm only responsible for what I do, 937 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 3: and if that is to turn a blind eye, i'm 938 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,879 Speaker 3: responsible for that. If that is to perpetrate a crime, 939 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 3: then i'm responsible to that. Actually, if that is to 940 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 3: ignore somebody asking for help, I'm responsible. 941 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:20,960 Speaker 1: For Sorry, I was going to say. In the UK, 942 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 1: there actually is there is a law now that addresses 943 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: course of control, which which explicitly does is say that 944 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm grooming. Yeah, that if you are a victim, you 945 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 1: are not responsible because there was somebody who had course 946 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:32,320 Speaker 1: of control over you. 947 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 3: So in law, yes, that is an actual Yeah, yes, 948 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 3: but not in all cases that that one law doesn't 949 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 3: cover all things of or people. It just in certain circumstances, 950 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 3: in certain types of grooming, primarily initially with children. But 951 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 3: it's not just children. It's also trafficked women and boys 952 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,320 Speaker 3: and men, you know, and slave labor. There's lots of 953 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 3: aspects that that law covers. 954 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 1: Anyways, I didn't mean to go so deep into this, 955 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:01,280 Speaker 1: to this debate. 956 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 3: I have no problem. 957 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: I appreciate you discussing this with us so openly. I 958 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 1: think it's very cool. Yeah. I just wanted to address 959 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 1: this idea of real's angels because I think that that's 960 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: a point of controversy and it was worth, you know, 961 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 1: to discussing. 962 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know anything about it is the truth 963 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 3: because I'm not past that. 964 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, So all right, so we should wrap up. This 965 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,959 Speaker 1: has been very stimulating. What would you say that people 966 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 1: most get wrong about the movement. 967 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have a clue. I have no I have 968 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 3: no idea. I mean, I think people the truth is 969 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 3: we often find what we look for is the truth. 970 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,240 Speaker 3: You know. We look for control, we look for bigotry, 971 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 3: we look for manipulation, we look for those things. You 972 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 3: can find and I can find a problem with your 973 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 3: attitude which is open engaging that I could find a 974 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:50,839 Speaker 3: problem with it if I really wanted to, even though 975 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,359 Speaker 3: there really isn't a problem to find, I could still 976 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,680 Speaker 3: find one if I tunes just by making it up 977 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,439 Speaker 3: and pushing it down the throat, and then you would 978 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 3: find a problem with my attitude because I created a 979 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 3: hostile environment. In truth, I think we're all responsible. Sorry, 980 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 3: I didn't how we view these things sometimes, and I 981 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 3: don't know what people's I don't know. I don't know, honestly, 982 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 3: I can't even answer the question you. 983 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 1: Never bombarded with like some common misconception or whatever. 984 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 3: Well, some people, some people think that it's anti Semitic 985 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 3: to use the swastika, for example, in the Star of David. 986 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 3: Some people think it. 987 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,840 Speaker 1: Saying that really quick because people might not know what 988 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 1: you're referring to. 989 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 3: The swastika within the Star of David is a is 990 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,560 Speaker 3: a symbol that's used in the rain philosophy, but it's 991 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 3: also a Jewish symbol. It's also a Jane's symbol. It's 992 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 3: also a Native American symbol. It's also in fact, it's 993 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 3: the cover of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which 994 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,280 Speaker 3: is the Buddhist book, which is the second oldest religion 995 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 3: on the planet. But for some reason some people tend 996 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 3: to try and say you shouldn't use the swastik inside 997 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 3: the Star of David. Well, the Way movement didn't make 998 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,360 Speaker 3: it up. Yes, I understand it challenges the sensibilities of 999 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 3: a certain group of people, mainly European descendants and you know, 1000 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 3: people who are fully aware of the trustees of the Nazis. 1001 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:12,840 Speaker 3: I don't and I want to say the Holocaust, I 1002 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,120 Speaker 3: don't just mean that the perpetration of this disgusting regime 1003 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,239 Speaker 3: on Jewish people. More than thirteen million people died in 1004 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 3: death camps. There weren't just six million Jews. There were 1005 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 3: thirteen million plus people that went to their deaths it 1006 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,320 Speaker 3: according to official figures in those places. So it's not 1007 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 3: just a Jewish issue that the swastika would be inside 1008 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 3: the Star of David. It's also you know, it's a 1009 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,959 Speaker 3: human issue in Europe that the Times can be looked 1010 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 3: at as a it's offensive to do to use the symbol, 1011 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 3: But the truth is the swastika itself is one of 1012 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,800 Speaker 3: one of the most most revered and respected religious symbol 1013 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:55,720 Speaker 3: on the planet across all cultures, including judies and including. 1014 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: Well, you know, maybe past tense. I don't know if 1015 00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 1: it still is right. 1016 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,200 Speaker 3: Well, it is in Asia. It is in Asia. For example, 1017 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 3: I spent like a couple of months in China and 1018 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,720 Speaker 3: working and swastikas are everywhere. People wearing all the T shirts, 1019 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 3: people are you know, meditating in front of them. People. 1020 00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 3: And also the Foreign Office in London, if you look 1021 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,720 Speaker 3: around all of the windows, there was probably about thirty 1022 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,799 Speaker 3: thousand swastikas. And that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office adjoins 1023 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 3: ten Downing Street or Downing Street where the British Prime 1024 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,720 Speaker 3: Minister sits. The Indian Embassy is a massive swastika outside 1025 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,880 Speaker 3: of it. The Royal Academy of the Arts has possibly 1026 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 3: thirty thousand swastikas on the outside of it in London. 1027 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 3: So these are part of our culture. The British Museum 1028 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,080 Speaker 3: have some like thirty thousand examples of swastika in its archives. 1029 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 3: Like I could go on forever. It is only Western 1030 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:55,399 Speaker 3: European descendants like myself that were shocked at the use 1031 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 3: of the swastika, and I was too, But I have 1032 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 3: to acknowledge that it is part of Native American culture. 1033 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,320 Speaker 3: If you know, some of the tpis of the of 1034 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 3: the Native American councils that still sit sit under huge decoratives. 1035 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 1: But why, but why does Rail? 1036 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 3: You? 1037 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,200 Speaker 1: Why did Rail choose it? Though? 1038 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 3: Because it is the symbol of the Elohim, And that 1039 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 3: is why it is prevalent in all of the culture 1040 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 3: across across the Earth throughout human history, is because it 1041 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,960 Speaker 3: is the Elohim symbol. He didn't choose it. The chooses, 1042 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,439 Speaker 3: and then humanity has used it throughout so of course 1043 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 3: he could disrespect them by saying, oh, you can't use 1044 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,440 Speaker 3: that symbol because it's offensive. Here. It's only offensive to 1045 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,839 Speaker 3: a percentage of people. And I understand the sensibility. It's 1046 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,359 Speaker 3: not like I didn't share it. When I first saw 1047 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 3: the symbol, I was like, what, what do you not 1048 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 3: realize that? You know? It's like I didn't share all 1049 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:52,840 Speaker 3: of the same thought process. I just looked, read, looked around, 1050 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 3: discovered it. He made a little document so tired of 1051 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,320 Speaker 3: answering the question from people on them, you know, on 1052 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 3: social media, once they found out I was reading, I 1053 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 3: made a little documentary called the Swastika Trail, which is 1054 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 3: on YouTube, which just talks about it in the use 1055 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,880 Speaker 3: of it in London alone, and you know, it's just 1056 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 3: it's just a little documentary that the BBC We're going 1057 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,319 Speaker 3: to pick it up and make it into a bigger 1058 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 3: documentary till they realized I was the cult weirdo and 1059 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 3: then they decided to drop. So it's not something I'm 1060 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,360 Speaker 3: oblivious to. But it isn't something that Rail chose, and 1061 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 3: it isn't something that the movement chose. It is the 1062 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,400 Speaker 3: symbol of the l him and that is why it 1063 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 3: exists in the first place. 1064 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,320 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So I didn't mean to interrupt what you 1065 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 1: were saying before, but thank you for that explanation. 1066 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 3: I've no idea what I was saying before. 1067 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 1: You were saying that people accused the movement of being 1068 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 1: anti Semitic and other Yeah, just. 1069 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 3: Because they want to. They want to because it's it's 1070 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 3: a great I think that's called an similar Today, somebody 1071 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,320 Speaker 3: on Facebook, you know, wrote and said, do you realize 1072 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,080 Speaker 3: that you're use of the swastika is you know, it 1073 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,240 Speaker 3: makes you, you know, hating you people. You're an anti Semite. 1074 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:59,600 Speaker 3: And I was like, honestly, honestly, there's not one part 1075 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 3: of me that has any bit of hate towards any 1076 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 3: particular group of people except aggressive, stupid, and I just 1077 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 3: have got no time for it.

Many many? 1084 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: Well, okay, well many many many many many? How many? 1085 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 1: Because it's how many members are there worldwide? 1086 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:34,640 Speaker 3: Do you know? 1087 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 1: Approximately? 1088 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 3: See? These are the things, these are the things you 1089 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 3: shouldn't ask me. How many? I'm not really sure. 1090 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,360 Speaker 1: I bet Google on how many reallyance? 1091 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 3: The official figures in Britain in Britain ten years ago 1092 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 3: were one thousand, two hundreds. The official figures in Britain 1093 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 3: three years ago one thousand, two hundreds. But the truth is, 1094 00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 3: in all the years I've been raid and I've met 1095 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 3: way more than one thy two hundred British raids who 1096 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 3: call themselves Brilliance. But how many people do I have 1097 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 3: at a regular meeting? Fifty in London? Okay? You know, 1098 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 3: you know, twenty five in you know in various other 1099 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 3: cities around the country. Are they ones that I don't know? 1100 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 3: I don't keep the numbers because I've never liked gangs 1101 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 3: or groups. So for me, like if there were fifty 1102 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 3: thousand of us, I'd probably be more uncomfortable than if 1103 00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:26,800 Speaker 3: there were five of us. 1104 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 1: This random website says, according to the president of the 1105 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 1: North American Relians, there are around one hundred thirty thousand 1106 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 1: members and more than eighty countries. 1107 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 3: I'm sure he's right. 1108 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 1: Okay, it doesn't specify Thomas. 1109 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 3: It just Thomas Kenzig. Thomas would know way better than 1110 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 3: I do, because Thomas is connected to the Internet and 1111 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:49,920 Speaker 3: there's all the numbers and figures like that. Got it? 1112 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 3: Got it? So Thomas Thomas is your man for me, 1113 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 3: not a numbers. 1114 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: That cool? Well, is there anything else you'd like to say? 1115 00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: Is there anything you'd like to tell people? Go look 1116 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: at our final words? 1117 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:05,880 Speaker 3: Do you feel brainwashed by this conversation? 1118 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 1: I don't. 1119 00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 3: Then you have absolutely nothing to fear from ever meeting 1120 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,440 Speaker 3: any rate in anywhere in the world, you don't have fun. 1121 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 3: If you want to give them a wide berth, They're 1122 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 3: all probably as annoying as I can be, So give 1123 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 3: them a wide birth.

I am a bad psychology nerd. 1151 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,640 Speaker 1: So I grew up in a time when we believed 1152 01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 1: that it couldn't be assault unless your response was fight 1153 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: or flight. If someone's attacking you with a gun and 1154 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 1: you're like trying to get away, or someone's like pinning 1155 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,240 Speaker 1: you down physically and you're punching up, right, that's what 1156 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 1: I thought rape was growing up. Well, we now know 1157 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,680 Speaker 1: what science tells us is that there are additional ways 1158 01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,160 Speaker 1: that humans respond to a traumatic event, and they do 1159 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: not negate the impact of that violence or that trauma, 1160 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,960 Speaker 1: even if it's not physical violence. So these other ways, 1161 01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:08,960 Speaker 1: which have to do with chemicals in your brain and 1162 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 1: not whether you're strong or brave or whatever the fuck, 1163 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 1: They are called freeze, which many of us have heard of, 1164 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: and also fon so freeze is when you become immobile, 1165 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 1: your system becomes overwhelmed and you basically do nothing. You 1166 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: cannot move. Fawn is when you revert to soothing, calming, 1167 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 1: or pleasing behaviors toward the person whom you feel attacked 1168 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 1: by or are being attacked by, so that they don't 1169 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,960 Speaker 1: become violent or more violent, or hurt you more or whatever. 1170 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 1: So whatever response you have to trauma is determined by 1171 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: a combination of your biology, your attachment style, the experiences 1172 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 1: that you've had, basically, and you literally don't have control 1173 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 1: over it because it is your lizard brain. It is 1174 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 1: your amigdala's response. And what that means is like when 1175 01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:55,000 Speaker 1: the amigdala takes over, when you go into survival mode, 1176 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,720 Speaker 1: the part of your brain that can think and plan 1177 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 1: and be logical, make rational decisions, whatever shuts the fuck off. 1178 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,439 Speaker 1: So whatever you respond, whether your fight, whether your flight, 1179 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 1: whether you're freeze, whether you're fawn, any way that you 1180 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: respond to trauma is okay and it's normal and it's 1181 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 1: not your fucking fault. 1182 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1183 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:18,959 Speaker 1: Shout out to my mom, doctor Christin Marie, who talked 1184 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 1: about this with me with us. I just want to 1185 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 1: say that because I think there are just so many 1186 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 1: misconceptions still and it pisses me off. It pisses me off, 1187 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,520 Speaker 1: as you can tell I'm pissed off. I'm not pissed 1188 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 1: off at Glenn. It's just like an overall pissed offness 1189 01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: that there is still any question of like whether a 1190 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,880 Speaker 1: victim is a real victim or whatever, or like what 1191 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,520 Speaker 1: it's not a matter of personal responsibility when it involves trauma, y'all, 1192 01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 1: Like it's not okay. So that's point number one, point 1193 01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 1: number two. When we talk about coercion, sexual or otherwise, 1194 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,960 Speaker 1: we can think about it in terms of whether there 1195 01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,760 Speaker 1: is a threat or an offer on the table. So 1196 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 1: if you do something because there's a threat of any 1197 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 1: kind of loss, be it financial, physical, like as in violence, spiritual, 1198 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 1: like maybe you'll you won't get to heaven or commune all, 1199 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,360 Speaker 1: you'll lose your place in the community, familial, you will 1200 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,880 Speaker 1: no longer have access to your family, anything else, that's coercion, 1201 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 1: even if it's super subtle, as subtle, as like you'll 1202 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 1: no longer be in this order, you'll no longer have 1203 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 1: this title in the community, like people will whatever. If 1204 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 1: you're doing something, uh, because there's an offer on the table. However, 1205 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 1: it might not be coercion unless that offer is fake 1206 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 1: or based on deception or manipulation of reality, such as 1207 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 1: somebody claiming to be a prophet who is not fact 1208 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 1: a profit. I am not saying that I know for 1209 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 1: a fact that Rail is not a prophet, right who knows? 1210 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 1: Maybe he is, But if he isn't at that point, 1211 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 1: anyone who is doing his bidding under the pretense that 1212 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 1: he is a prophet or or may not doing his bidding, 1213 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 1: but like you know, having sex with him because he 1214 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: is who he is, that is no longer consent. That 1215 01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: is fraud, and that is coercion. So think about it 1216 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,440 Speaker 1: in terms of a contract. If you have a contract 1217 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 1: and you are falsely induced or deceived about the basic premise, 1218 01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 1: consent to those terms is rendered, Nolan void. You can't 1219 01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:31,080 Speaker 1: consent if the thing that you believe that is making 1220 01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 1: you want to do the other thing is not real. 1221 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: Does this make sense? Oh yeah, okay, I just want 1222 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 1: to say that. And again, like I am not judging 1223 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: any Ralian. I'm not judging Glenn. I think Glenn is 1224 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 1: very very smart. I think his heart is in the 1225 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 1: right place. 1226 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,240 Speaker 2: And not judging any of the alien angels, if that's 1227 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:53,680 Speaker 2: what No, If genuinely I love doing absolutely not. 1228 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,960 Speaker 1: But I think it's important to consider all of these 1229 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,720 Speaker 1: factors when taking into a count anyone's behavior who is 1230 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 1: in a position of power over other people and the community. 1231 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 1: In Burkina. Fosso is super interesting because, like, there is 1232 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 1: a hospital that the Ralians erected which basically existed for 1233 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 1: the sole purpose of repairing victims of female genital mutilation, 1234 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 1: repairing their bodies, which is an amazing thing. It got 1235 01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 1: shut down for reasons that I don't actually understand. It 1236 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,440 Speaker 1: seems like because they were saying the government was basically like, 1237 01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 1: you can't use this as a way to convert people 1238 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,840 Speaker 1: to religion or whatever. I don't. 1239 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 3: I don't. 1240 01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 1: That's a really seems like a really complicated argument, And 1241 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:45,280 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really know what the right thing 1242 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,920 Speaker 1: is in that situation, because ultimately, like they weren't doing good. 1243 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: But also I could see a situation where I'm in 1244 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: a community and something is being offered to me that 1245 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:58,280 Speaker 1: would change my life, and I would then feel indebted 1246 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 1: to that group. Yes, that person. Yes, I'm not saying 1247 01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 1: that that's what's happening. I don't know. I don't know 1248 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 1: how those women feel. I don't want to speak for them, 1249 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 1: but I know if it were me, there might be 1250 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:17,440 Speaker 1: some confusing feelings there. Yeah, that's all so, And then 1251 01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: one more quick statement on the on the issue of 1252 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,880 Speaker 1: making the choice of whether or not to come forward 1253 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 1: about any abuse or trauma that's happened to you. So 1254 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 1: aside from the issue that, God, I've had a fucking 1255 01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,800 Speaker 1: dude debate this with me and oh, I'm gonna get 1256 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 1: fired up again, aside from the issue that it can 1257 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 1: take years to come to terms with the trauma or 1258 01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 1: even just to understand the subtle dynamics of what happened, 1259 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 1: and to not blame ourselves for something to even recognize 1260 01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 1: that it was assault. Years very very very common, y'all, 1261 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,560 Speaker 1: because the most common victim response is to blame ourselves. 1262 01:06:55,800 --> 01:07:00,440 Speaker 1: So even aside from this issue, So let's say we 1263 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 1: already know it's an assault, we've already come to terms 1264 01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 1: with it, we understand what happened. 1265 01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 3: Which is. 1266 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 1: Difficult to get to. But let's say we're starting from 1267 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:14,600 Speaker 1: this point, right, victims all have to weigh whether it's 1268 01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:16,920 Speaker 1: right for them to come forward about it. Or to 1269 01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 1: out someone, and each person might make a different choice 1270 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: in that scenario, and everyone has to do what's right 1271 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,520 Speaker 1: for them. There is no right answer. But regardless of 1272 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:27,920 Speaker 1: what the choice is after the fact, because this sort 1273 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: of came up when we were talking about how I 1274 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 1: chose not to name my A and R guy who 1275 01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 1: blocked the door when I tried to leave, Regardless of 1276 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: what you choose about whether to come forward, it doesn't 1277 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 1: erase the events me not naming that an R guy 1278 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: who did that when I tried to leave, who assaulted me, 1279 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that assault didn't happen. Right, Like I have, 1280 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,040 Speaker 1: I had a choice to make. It did take me 1281 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 1: years to come to terms with what happened, because I 1282 01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,080 Speaker 1: did blame myself because I was attracted to him and 1283 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,720 Speaker 1: all the other things we discussed in that recent episode 1284 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 1: about Hollywood. But like, yes, I have the choice of 1285 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 1: whether to out him, whether respond or whatever. It doesn't 1286 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 1: negate his behavior. It doesn't mean that that person didn't 1287 01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 1: abuse his power. That's not what that means. That is 1288 01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 1: a separate discussion, and I just wanted to clarify that 1289 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,439 Speaker 1: because I felt like in getting into the weeds on 1290 01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: the personal responsibility stuff. It's like, oh, but you have 1291 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:27,320 Speaker 1: the choice whatever. It doesn't matter. If somebody abused you. 1292 01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 1: They abused you, period, end of story. How you then 1293 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 1: choose to respond to is based on a multitude of factors. 1294 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,400 Speaker 1: It's not so simple for everyone, Like financially, they might 1295 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,120 Speaker 1: not be in a position in their lives where they 1296 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 1: can risk their entire career. I don't think that we 1297 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 1: can blame anyone for that. I don't think we can 1298 01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,880 Speaker 1: say that those experiences aren't as valid. I don't think 1299 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,439 Speaker 1: we can say they did anything wrong. That is all. 1300 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:56,800 Speaker 1: I love it. Who Okay, that's okay. We have more 1301 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:58,240 Speaker 1: stuff coming you guys. 1302 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,800 Speaker 2: We are just we're getting real hot and bothered by 1303 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,599 Speaker 2: some ship lately, so check in with us next week. 1304 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,679 Speaker 2: We hope you have an amazing week, and as always, 1305 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 2: remember to follow your gut, watch out for red flags, and. 1306 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:16,920 Speaker 1: Never ever trust me. Why fucking bye bye
