00:00:29,377 --> 00:00:34,097
Speaker 1: Freedom Hut Thursday, December eighth edition of the program. We

00:00:34,217 --> 00:00:36,977
Speaker 1: have one of the stars of the show, the Office,

7
00:00:37,177 --> 00:00:41,537
Speaker 1: Mindy Kaling, says that the show would be canceled essentially

8
00:00:41,737 --> 00:00:46,177
Speaker 1: because of wokeness, not because it's not incredibly entertaining. We'll

9
00:00:46,177 --> 00:00:50,177
Speaker 1: get into how wokeness ruins everything, especially comedy. A plus.

10
00:00:50,817 --> 00:00:55,977
Speaker 1: James Cameron tells the Hollywood Reporter that testosterone is a

11
00:00:56,137 --> 00:00:59,777
Speaker 1: toxin you have to slowly work out of your system.

12
00:01:00,457 --> 00:01:04,777
Speaker 1: And Sam Bankman freed almost spent one hundred million dollars

13
00:01:04,857 --> 00:01:09,977
Speaker 1: to sponsor Taylor Swift's concerts going forward. And then also

14
00:01:10,257 --> 00:01:12,977
Speaker 1: Britney Grinder was freed today, but not Paul Whalen. We

15
00:01:13,017 --> 00:01:16,377
Speaker 1: will talk about these things, these major stories today here

16
00:01:16,377 --> 00:01:19,937
Speaker 1: on The Buck Sexton Show. Twitters in the news alot

17
00:01:19,977 --> 00:01:22,537
Speaker 1: these days, as you know, including the revelation that more

18
00:01:22,537 --> 00:01:25,417
Speaker 1: than five million user accounts have been exposed in a

19
00:01:25,537 --> 00:01:29,297
Speaker 1: software vulnerability. Personal information including emails and phone numbers from

20
00:01:29,297 --> 00:01:32,537
Speaker 1: a December twenty twenty one data breach has recently been

21
00:01:32,537 --> 00:01:35,737
Speaker 1: published on a hacker forum, making it free for the taking.

22
00:01:35,977 --> 00:01:38,777
Speaker 1: If exploited, this information could be used by cyber criminals

23
00:01:38,817 --> 00:01:42,137
Speaker 1: to attempt phishing attacks, which could lead to identity theft.

24
00:01:42,457 --> 00:01:46,137

45
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:43,697
Speaker 1: The Office is a great show. I don't know how

46
00:02:43,697 --> 00:02:45,657
Speaker 1: many of you have seen it. It's fantastic. I really

47
00:02:45,737 --> 00:02:51,337
Speaker 1: enjoy it, and it's become cult's favor isn't even really

48
00:02:51,377 --> 00:02:55,417
Speaker 1: the case. It's become a phenomenon in the streaming era,

49
00:02:55,977 --> 00:02:59,257
Speaker 1: so much so that NBC, which owns the Peacock streaming network,

50
00:02:59,297 --> 00:03:02,657
Speaker 1: took it back from Netflix. And I know it's been

51
00:03:02,697 --> 00:03:05,337
Speaker 1: the number one thing streamed on Peacock. I think it

52
00:03:05,537 --> 00:03:08,217
Speaker 1: was also the number one thing being streamed for a

53
00:03:08,257 --> 00:03:10,537
Speaker 1: period of time on Netflix. And it was all right

54
00:03:10,577 --> 00:03:13,497
Speaker 1: old content, but people just love it. Something about being

55
00:03:13,497 --> 00:03:15,777
Speaker 1: able to binge watch The Office and the comedy is

56
00:03:15,817 --> 00:03:19,297
Speaker 1: so good, it's so well written. It's phenomenal. Mindy Kaling,

57
00:03:19,337 --> 00:03:23,977
Speaker 1: who's a lib no surprise, interestingly enough, Mindy Kaling's brother.

58
00:03:24,177 --> 00:03:28,097
Speaker 1: I remember this years ago, he was applying to medical

59
00:03:28,137 --> 00:03:30,257
Speaker 1: schools and he did an experiment where he applied to

60
00:03:30,297 --> 00:03:36,697
Speaker 1: medical school as an Indian American, so Indian from South Asia,

61
00:03:36,777 --> 00:03:39,217
Speaker 1: and he didn't get in anywhere, and he shaved his

62
00:03:39,297 --> 00:03:43,737
Speaker 1: head and tried to make himself seem on paper more

63
00:03:43,857 --> 00:03:46,377
Speaker 1: African American to apply to medical schools. This really happened.

64
00:03:46,377 --> 00:03:48,657
Speaker 1: Mindy Kaling's brother did this and he got in, I

65
00:03:48,697 --> 00:03:50,777
Speaker 1: think to his top He went from getting into no

66
00:03:50,817 --> 00:03:53,697
Speaker 1: medical schools to reapplying and getting into his top choice

67
00:03:53,857 --> 00:03:57,217
Speaker 1: couple of schools. And top choice medical schools are incredibly

68
00:03:57,217 --> 00:03:59,777
Speaker 1: difficult to get into just by making it seem like

69
00:03:59,897 --> 00:04:03,377
Speaker 1: he was on paper African American. So she didn't like that,

70
00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:07,057
Speaker 1: by the way, Mindy Acaling. But anyway, Mindy Kaling, who

71
00:04:07,417 --> 00:04:10,257
Speaker 1: plays Kelly on the show, she said, recently they're in

72
00:04:10,297 --> 00:04:12,457
Speaker 1: some kind of out of there podcasts about the office,

73
00:04:12,497 --> 00:04:15,737
Speaker 1: lots of stuff. She said, look, we couldn't do it,

74
00:04:15,737 --> 00:04:20,057
Speaker 1: couldn't be made today, and most characters would be canceled.

75
00:04:20,217 --> 00:04:24,817
Speaker 1: But she even said, is inappropriate now? It's inappropriate now?

76
00:04:26,017 --> 00:04:32,577
Speaker 1: Oh okay? So what was a tremendous phenomenon of comedy

77
00:04:32,817 --> 00:04:36,417
Speaker 1: and incredibly successful and gave a lot of people. I mean,

78
00:04:36,457 --> 00:04:39,177
Speaker 1: I have a friend who when he was in Afghanistan.

79
00:04:39,457 --> 00:04:41,177
Speaker 1: You know, we would try to find things to be

80
00:04:41,177 --> 00:04:43,897
Speaker 1: able to binge watch when you're overseas military. Obviously I

81
00:04:43,937 --> 00:04:47,777
Speaker 1: was CIA side. He was watching the I watched when

82
00:04:47,777 --> 00:04:51,457
Speaker 1: I was in Afghanistan with the CIA. My we would

83
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:54,017
Speaker 1: have these little DVD little DVD plays you can buy

84
00:04:54,057 --> 00:04:56,737
Speaker 1: them in a market place there, along with rugs and

85
00:04:56,817 --> 00:04:59,137
Speaker 1: knives and other things and a little DVD player and

86
00:04:59,177 --> 00:05:02,377
Speaker 1: I would watch they were I think there were bootleg

87
00:05:02,417 --> 00:05:05,977
Speaker 1: copies of Entourage, remember that HBO show. But I had

88
00:05:05,977 --> 00:05:07,817
Speaker 1: a friend who used to watch the Office, and you know,

89
00:05:07,817 --> 00:05:09,857
Speaker 1: you need to do escape you're in a war zone,

90
00:05:10,177 --> 00:05:13,737
Speaker 1: to escape the surroundings that you had there by watching

91
00:05:13,857 --> 00:05:16,297
Speaker 1: great American content. So anyway, the Office kept a lot

92
00:05:16,297 --> 00:05:19,577
Speaker 1: of people company for who knows how many millions of

93
00:05:19,617 --> 00:05:22,577
Speaker 1: hours around the world. And the fact that you couldn't

94
00:05:22,577 --> 00:05:24,377
Speaker 1: make it anymore. I just think it goes to show

95
00:05:24,577 --> 00:05:28,017
Speaker 1: what we're losing day in and day out in our

96
00:05:29,137 --> 00:05:31,697
Speaker 1: in our culture right now, and why there's so little

97
00:05:31,737 --> 00:05:35,017
Speaker 1: good content that's being made, especially so little good comedy

98
00:05:35,057 --> 00:05:37,097
Speaker 1: that is being made. You're just not allowed to make

99
00:05:37,177 --> 00:05:41,737
Speaker 1: jokes anymore, not allowed to, even in a good natured way,

100
00:05:42,297 --> 00:05:45,017
Speaker 1: play upon any kinds of stereotypes. The only people who

101
00:05:45,097 --> 00:05:49,417
Speaker 1: stereotypes are allowed to make fun of are white male Christians.

102
00:05:49,737 --> 00:05:54,457
Speaker 1: That's it. Beyond that you are at risk of being canceled.

103
00:05:55,097 --> 00:05:57,697
Speaker 1: So it just was interesting to see that Mini Kaling

104
00:05:58,377 --> 00:06:02,497
Speaker 1: said this and says it's inappropriate. It's not inappropriate. We've

105
00:06:02,497 --> 00:06:04,977
Speaker 1: just become hypersensitive as a society, and I think people

106
00:06:04,977 --> 00:06:08,017
Speaker 1: are really tired of it, and we need to create

107
00:06:08,377 --> 00:06:13,257
Speaker 1: more avenues for fression, for creativity, and for content that

108
00:06:13,337 --> 00:06:17,937
Speaker 1: aren't constantly at the whim of the humorless woke scolds.

109
00:06:18,457 --> 00:06:21,497
Speaker 1: I think that would be an enormous benefit to us.

110
00:06:22,337 --> 00:06:24,337
Speaker 1: And oh and I also will talk about this for

111
00:06:24,377 --> 00:06:27,137
Speaker 1: a second here. You know, James Cameron, who you know?

112
00:06:27,257 --> 00:06:32,257
Speaker 1: It hurts because Aliens is a great movie. It's a

113
00:06:32,257 --> 00:06:34,297
Speaker 1: great action movie. If you haven't seen, it holds up

114
00:06:34,337 --> 00:06:37,857
Speaker 1: really well. Even though the special effects were pretty rudimentary,

115
00:06:38,057 --> 00:06:41,217
Speaker 1: they still look pretty cool today. Aliens a great movie

116
00:06:41,297 --> 00:06:46,457
Speaker 1: directed by James Cameron. The original Alien movie was directed

117
00:06:46,497 --> 00:06:50,977
Speaker 1: by who's the guy who did Kingdom of Heaven Ridley Scott.

118
00:06:51,017 --> 00:06:53,137
Speaker 1: Thank you Ridley Scott has forgot his name for a second,

119
00:06:54,297 --> 00:06:58,697
Speaker 1: but he was great. He's a great director anyway. You

120
00:06:58,737 --> 00:07:02,257
Speaker 1: look at James Cameron's filmography. You got Aliens, you got

121
00:07:02,297 --> 00:07:04,257
Speaker 1: some good stuff in there. Titanic, you know, yes, if

122
00:07:04,297 --> 00:07:06,377
Speaker 1: you're a fourteen year old girl, it's a fantastic movie.

123
00:07:08,097 --> 00:07:11,817
Speaker 1: But Avatar was trash. It's just for everyone knows it.

124
00:07:11,817 --> 00:07:13,817
Speaker 1: It's a trash movie. It's not. Yeah, they use some

125
00:07:13,857 --> 00:07:16,537
Speaker 1: fancy three D special effects, the actual movie is garbage.

126
00:07:16,657 --> 00:07:19,977
Speaker 1: I can't believe they're making another one. And Cameron is

127
00:07:20,017 --> 00:07:22,537
Speaker 1: a Canadian and a big lib as we know, but

128
00:07:22,577 --> 00:07:25,497
Speaker 1: he recently said in an interview with the Holly Hollywood

129
00:07:25,537 --> 00:07:29,097
Speaker 1: Reporter that he used to be a wild testosterone poisoned

130
00:07:29,137 --> 00:07:32,497
Speaker 1: young man and labeled testosterone as a tox This is

131
00:07:32,537 --> 00:07:34,897
Speaker 1: a quote, a toxin that you have to slowly work

132
00:07:34,897 --> 00:07:39,897
Speaker 1: out of your system. Now, my friends, this is absurd,

133
00:07:40,537 --> 00:07:43,337
Speaker 1: This is crazy. But it goes to show you that

134
00:07:43,377 --> 00:07:47,257
Speaker 1: the the left wing mentality of a war on masculinity

135
00:07:48,417 --> 00:07:54,537
Speaker 1: isn't even limited to the toxic masculinity concept. It's even

136
00:07:54,577 --> 00:08:00,377
Speaker 1: now the toxicity of the necessary hormones for masculinity, which

137
00:08:00,417 --> 00:08:04,257
Speaker 1: is testosterone without testosteroney can't be a man now. Women

138
00:08:04,297 --> 00:08:07,177
Speaker 1: have tesascerone too, I know, and there's balances of testosterone

139
00:08:07,177 --> 00:08:10,857
Speaker 1: in different people. But point is, without without, as people

140
00:08:10,857 --> 00:08:15,457
Speaker 1: often refer to it, you are not a man. And

141
00:08:15,577 --> 00:08:22,017
Speaker 1: also the benefits of masculinity, focus, energy, drive, aggression when necessary,

142
00:08:23,017 --> 00:08:29,857
Speaker 1: those go down tremendously self confidence. Hypo Gonadism is what

143
00:08:29,897 --> 00:08:34,217
Speaker 1: the medical definition I believe is for super low levels

144
00:08:34,257 --> 00:08:37,737
Speaker 1: of testosterone. But the left really want. The left wants

145
00:08:38,217 --> 00:08:44,097
Speaker 1: hypo gonadism for men in general, easier to control, more complacent,

146
00:08:44,897 --> 00:08:49,977
Speaker 1: less individualistic, less about achievement and success. They want collectivist,

147
00:08:50,577 --> 00:08:54,337
Speaker 1: docile drones. This really is the mentality. I know it's

148
00:08:54,377 --> 00:08:56,297
Speaker 1: a little it's a little out there, but this is

149
00:08:56,297 --> 00:09:00,017
Speaker 1: how they think about things. So I'm always also amazed

150
00:09:00,017 --> 00:09:02,017
Speaker 1: to even just talking about this stuff. I'll always have

151
00:09:02,097 --> 00:09:05,177
Speaker 1: libs look, oh, look at you, you're not a bodybuilders something.

152
00:09:05,177 --> 00:09:06,697
Speaker 1: I'm like, first of all, all the libs that call

153
00:09:06,777 --> 00:09:09,297
Speaker 1: me out, I'm like, I would absolutely annihilate you in

154
00:09:09,337 --> 00:09:11,457
Speaker 1: a fight, But not that matters because we're fighting with

155
00:09:11,497 --> 00:09:14,057
Speaker 1: words here. But even in the rare case that's not

156
00:09:14,097 --> 00:09:17,977
Speaker 1: the case. Who cares what I'm saying is true. It's

157
00:09:18,057 --> 00:09:20,977
Speaker 1: ridiculous what the left is saying. But they'll even defend this,

158
00:09:21,537 --> 00:09:23,577
Speaker 1: even like the tough guys on the left. We'll start

159
00:09:23,617 --> 00:09:25,857
Speaker 1: to say, well, the we're the right wing is thinking

160
00:09:25,897 --> 00:09:28,897
Speaker 1: this thing about testosterone. They say that testosterone. James Cameron,

161
00:09:28,937 --> 00:09:32,057
Speaker 1: this guy's like a billionaire, practically one of the biggest

162
00:09:32,057 --> 00:09:34,817
Speaker 1: rectors in the world, and he says testosterone is a

163
00:09:35,337 --> 00:09:41,657
Speaker 1: what was the word a poison lunacy lunacy. Anyway, when

164
00:09:41,657 --> 00:09:43,577
Speaker 1: the weather turns, called, my friends, you know what, I

165
00:09:43,617 --> 00:09:45,857
Speaker 1: reach for a hoodie and no one makes a better

166
00:09:46,017 --> 00:09:49,377
Speaker 1: hoodie sweatshirt than American Giant. This is a heavy duty,

167
00:09:49,457 --> 00:09:52,937
Speaker 1: feels great when I wear it kind of hoodie. American

168
00:09:52,977 --> 00:09:54,977
Speaker 1: Giant has been making great clothes for a while now.

169
00:09:55,017 --> 00:09:57,297
Speaker 1: They do it right. The cotton they use and making

170
00:09:57,297 --> 00:09:59,257
Speaker 1: their gears preshrunks. When you wash it and wear it, it

171
00:09:59,177 --> 00:10:01,297
Speaker 1: it doesn't get like all tight on you. It fits

172
00:10:01,457 --> 00:10:05,057
Speaker 1: perfectly even after it's gone on the wash so many times.

173
00:10:05,377 --> 00:10:07,857
Speaker 1: The cotton is thick, so it's really gives you that

174
00:10:08,017 --> 00:10:11,017
Speaker 1: good feel of being sturdy and well made. A side

175
00:10:11,017 --> 00:10:15,377
Speaker 1: panels are structured, elbows are reinforced. Custom hardware zippers only

176
00:10:15,497 --> 00:10:18,337
Speaker 1: just reinforced how sturdy American Giant gear really is, how

177
00:10:18,377 --> 00:10:22,177
Speaker 1: well made it is, and it feels great. So it's sturdy, durable,

178
00:10:22,257 --> 00:10:24,937
Speaker 1: but also feels so good on you. It's no wonder

179
00:10:24,937 --> 00:10:27,537

189
00:10:55,217 --> 00:10:57,857
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to yet about Brittany Grinder. Here is

190
00:10:58,177 --> 00:11:00,857
Speaker 1: which obviously was the big news story today and I'm

191
00:11:00,897 --> 00:11:02,577
Speaker 1: sure people are wondering what I think about it. First

192
00:11:02,577 --> 00:11:06,177
Speaker 1: of all, Victor boot is the talking a lot about

193
00:11:06,217 --> 00:11:09,257
Speaker 1: movies today. He is the basis for the Nicolas Cage

194
00:11:09,257 --> 00:11:12,177
Speaker 1: movie Lord of War, which is pretty good movie. Nicolas Cage,

195
00:11:12,217 --> 00:11:16,977
Speaker 1: as you know, made so many different movies over the years.

196
00:11:17,057 --> 00:11:19,177
Speaker 1: Some were great. I mean, I haven't seen Leaving Las

197
00:11:19,297 --> 00:11:20,897
Speaker 1: Vegas to be fair, but I think he got an

198
00:11:20,937 --> 00:11:23,457
Speaker 1: Oscar for that. People love it pretty sure, Mike, Is

199
00:11:23,457 --> 00:11:25,897
Speaker 1: that right? Did he get an oscar for leaving Las Vegas? Um?

200
00:11:27,617 --> 00:11:29,337
Speaker 1: Maybe a nomination? Yeah, I mean, but anyway, it was.

201
00:11:29,417 --> 00:11:34,097
Speaker 1: It was a critically acclaimed movie. Hustle loving Connair. Connery's great.

202
00:11:34,937 --> 00:11:37,377
Speaker 1: You know, He's like, oh, I need drop the bunny.

203
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:39,497
Speaker 1: Remember Connair some of you. I know that kind of

204
00:11:39,497 --> 00:11:41,737
Speaker 1: sounds like angry Keanu Reeves, But I'm working on my

205
00:11:41,817 --> 00:11:48,097
Speaker 1: Nicolas Cage. Who What Where? Why? Um? And Connair was

206
00:11:48,177 --> 00:11:50,857
Speaker 1: very watchable. Ridiculous movie, I mean, stupid movie, but I

207
00:11:50,937 --> 00:11:52,937
Speaker 1: love it. I'm not I'm not hating on Connor. I'm

208
00:11:52,977 --> 00:11:55,177
Speaker 1: just admitting that it's dumb. But it's really entertaining fun

209
00:11:55,217 --> 00:11:58,937
Speaker 1: to watch. Um. But he's made some He's made some

210
00:11:58,977 --> 00:12:02,577
Speaker 1: clunkers too, He's made some bad ones. And Lord of

211
00:12:02,577 --> 00:12:04,417
Speaker 1: War though is not as not a clunker. It's pretty

212
00:12:04,417 --> 00:12:06,457
Speaker 1: good for what it is. It's pretty watchable. It's about

213
00:12:06,537 --> 00:12:09,337
Speaker 1: Victor Boothough, this guy who during the fall of the Right,

214
00:12:09,377 --> 00:12:13,097
Speaker 1: after the fall of a Union, became an international arms dealer,

215
00:12:13,137 --> 00:12:14,657
Speaker 1: and he was the guy that sold guns to the

216
00:12:14,657 --> 00:12:17,777
Speaker 1: worst people on the planet, you know, to the militias

217
00:12:17,777 --> 00:12:21,537
Speaker 1: who would mutilate innocent women and children in parts of Africa,

218
00:12:21,777 --> 00:12:24,217
Speaker 1: to terrorist groups, to you name it. He was the

219
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:29,177
Speaker 1: arms dealer to the worst. We just traded him. He's

220
00:12:29,217 --> 00:12:32,657
Speaker 1: in custody for conspiring to kill Americans by selling Stinger

221
00:12:32,737 --> 00:12:39,897
Speaker 1: missiles to Colombian Marxist guerrillas. But actually there were DA agents.

222
00:12:39,937 --> 00:12:43,177
Speaker 1: It was a sting. He was serving a twenty five

223
00:12:43,257 --> 00:12:46,977
Speaker 1: year sentence. He was released and we got in exchange

224
00:12:46,977 --> 00:12:50,177
Speaker 1: Britney Griner, who got a nine year sentence for having

225
00:12:50,297 --> 00:12:54,937
Speaker 1: some hashish or cannabis oil in a vape pen, less

226
00:12:54,937 --> 00:12:56,537
Speaker 1: than a gram of a very small amount of it,

227
00:12:56,617 --> 00:13:00,217
Speaker 1: but facing nine years in prison. And here people are

228
00:13:00,497 --> 00:13:02,217
Speaker 1: upset about this on a number of levels. One is

229
00:13:02,257 --> 00:13:04,657
Speaker 1: they're saying this is just not a good trade. But

230
00:13:04,777 --> 00:13:08,697
Speaker 1: beyond that, Paul Whalen, who's a former marine, I believe

231
00:13:08,697 --> 00:13:11,457
Speaker 1: he was discharged, he was honorably distrusted from the Marine Corps.

232
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:16,177
Speaker 1: But he's a former Marine and he is languishing in prison.

233
00:13:16,217 --> 00:13:18,217
Speaker 1: He's one of ours. He's an American. He's languishing in

234
00:13:18,257 --> 00:13:22,857
Speaker 1: prison in Russia for some nonsense espionage espionage charge which

235
00:13:22,897 --> 00:13:27,257
Speaker 1: the Russians they love to try to trade their actual

236
00:13:27,297 --> 00:13:30,137
Speaker 1: spies for the make believe spy that they will grab.

237
00:13:30,177 --> 00:13:31,697
Speaker 1: Which is why I mean people ask you, have you

238
00:13:31,697 --> 00:13:34,497
Speaker 1: ever been to Russia? No, and I'm never going to Russia.

239
00:13:34,737 --> 00:13:37,537
Speaker 1: Don't trust that, don't trust that state, don't trust that government,

240
00:13:37,537 --> 00:13:41,777
Speaker 1: and honestly just don't have any interest in going. But

241
00:13:42,257 --> 00:13:45,697
Speaker 1: we got this trade. Here is the Secretary of State,

242
00:13:45,977 --> 00:13:49,897
Speaker 1: Anthony Blinkin talking about how oh no, it wasn't an

243
00:13:49,937 --> 00:13:53,537
Speaker 1: either or trade. Watch this one. While we're related at

244
00:13:53,537 --> 00:13:57,057
Speaker 1: Brittany returning home, we continue to work relentlessly to bring

245
00:13:57,057 --> 00:13:59,697
Speaker 1: Paul Willen home as well. Despite our efforts, the Russian

246
00:13:59,697 --> 00:14:02,497
Speaker 1: government has not yet been willing to end his wrongful detention.

247
00:14:02,537 --> 00:14:06,017
Speaker 1: They continue to insist on sham charges of espionage and

248
00:14:06,097 --> 00:14:09,017
Speaker 1: are treating Paul's case differently. As a result, Paul and

249
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:12,897
Speaker 1: his loved ones continue to suffer needlessly and unjustly. This

250
00:14:13,097 --> 00:14:15,657
Speaker 1: was not a choice of which American to bring home.

251
00:14:15,737 --> 00:14:18,937
Speaker 1: The choice was one or none. I wholeheartedly wish that

252
00:14:19,017 --> 00:14:21,457
Speaker 1: we could have brought Paul home today on the same

253
00:14:21,497 --> 00:14:24,137
Speaker 1: plane as Brittany, just as at the time. I wish

254
00:14:24,137 --> 00:14:26,297
Speaker 1: we could have brought Brittany and Paul home when we

255
00:14:26,377 --> 00:14:29,337
Speaker 1: secure the release of Trevor Reid back in April, but

256
00:14:29,697 --> 00:14:34,217
Speaker 1: we will stay at it. So we're to believe that

257
00:14:34,377 --> 00:14:39,377
Speaker 1: Brittany didn't skip Paul Willen in line. Because of how

258
00:14:40,017 --> 00:14:44,097
Speaker 1: this plays for the left and the Democrats, they view

259
00:14:44,337 --> 00:14:49,617
Speaker 1: Britney Griner because she is she's African American, she is

260
00:14:49,857 --> 00:14:55,457
Speaker 1: a lesbian, and she is a w NBA player and

261
00:14:55,577 --> 00:14:58,257
Speaker 1: also very left wing in her state at politics. They

262
00:14:58,377 --> 00:15:03,857
Speaker 1: viewed getting her back as symbolically much more important. It

263
00:15:03,897 --> 00:15:08,257
Speaker 1: would seem than getting Paul Whalen back, the former marine

264
00:15:08,257 --> 00:15:10,857
Speaker 1: who's been languishing in prison for years, years, not for months,

265
00:15:10,897 --> 00:15:14,217
Speaker 1: but for years. I don't I don't think that this

266
00:15:14,337 --> 00:15:18,817
Speaker 1: is in any way. I don't think this was a

267
00:15:18,817 --> 00:15:20,857
Speaker 1: good I don't think it was a good trade. I

268
00:15:20,897 --> 00:15:26,137
Speaker 1: do want Americans brought back who are unjustly detained in

269
00:15:26,257 --> 00:15:28,617
Speaker 1: foreign countries, notably in Russia. Right, this isn't like somebody

270
00:15:28,737 --> 00:15:31,537
Speaker 1: was on vacation got caught smuggling large quantities of drugs

271
00:15:31,537 --> 00:15:33,177
Speaker 1: and you know, you do the time you do the crime,

272
00:15:33,217 --> 00:15:35,657
Speaker 1: you do the time They were making an example of

273
00:15:35,697 --> 00:15:38,257
Speaker 1: britty Grinder. I'm just calling fact, calling it like it is.

274
00:15:38,257 --> 00:15:41,297
Speaker 1: They nine years was meant to be punitive so they

275
00:15:41,297 --> 00:15:43,777
Speaker 1: could hold her as a bargaining chip. She did break

276
00:15:43,817 --> 00:15:45,337
Speaker 1: the law, though I don't think Paul Whalen broke the

277
00:15:45,377 --> 00:15:47,857
Speaker 1: law at all. I don't think he broke any Russian laws.

278
00:15:47,857 --> 00:15:50,377
Speaker 1: I think that he's just the pawn that they are using.

279
00:15:51,057 --> 00:15:53,337
Speaker 1: But it should just be about I think, first in,

280
00:15:53,417 --> 00:15:56,417
Speaker 1: first out, and these are Americans, and the American government

281
00:15:56,457 --> 00:15:58,617
Speaker 1: should try to get them out based on their American

282
00:15:58,697 --> 00:16:02,217
Speaker 1: nous and nothing else. But that does not seem to

283
00:16:02,217 --> 00:16:04,457
Speaker 1: be what happened here, does not seem to do what happened.

284
00:16:04,537 --> 00:16:06,777
Speaker 1: And I think that the bind administration knows that as

285
00:16:06,817 --> 00:16:10,537
Speaker 1: a as a function of who they who, the Democrat

286
00:16:10,537 --> 00:16:13,537
Speaker 1: base is more excited or more thankful to have backs

287
00:16:13,577 --> 00:16:17,897
Speaker 1: it would be brittany Grinder because they Identity politics overall,

288
00:16:17,937 --> 00:16:21,097
Speaker 1: I mean identity politics over americanness is the attitude of

289
00:16:21,097 --> 00:16:23,897
Speaker 1: the left. I think we see that time and time again.

290
00:16:24,977 --> 00:16:29,617
Speaker 1: And I got some thoughts here on Sam Bankman Freed,

291
00:16:30,257 --> 00:16:32,337
Speaker 1: which we shall talk about here in just a second.

292

Speaker 1: My Pillows an amazing company, and you've helped build it

Speaker 1: they feel so good on my skin. I think they're amazing.

317
00:17:42,857 --> 00:17:49,497
Speaker 1: FTX Crypto is a story that excuse me that I

318
00:17:49,617 --> 00:17:53,097
Speaker 1: have been following with tremendous interests from the very beginning

319
00:17:54,017 --> 00:17:58,257
Speaker 1: because this guy fan bak Bed Freed. It's like, hey, here,

320
00:17:58,297 --> 00:18:00,497
Speaker 1: I have, I have, but I have kind of this

321
00:18:00,617 --> 00:18:03,577
Speaker 1: curly hair went to FT and I just sort of

322
00:18:03,577 --> 00:18:06,097
Speaker 1: sound like this, but give me billiards of your dollars

323
00:18:06,097 --> 00:18:07,737
Speaker 1: that I've would be the richest person of the planet.

324
00:18:07,817 --> 00:18:10,457
Speaker 1: Knowe knows why, but this is what happened with this guy.

325
00:18:10,497 --> 00:18:12,937
Speaker 1: But he bought off all the right people, and who

326
00:18:13,017 --> 00:18:14,737
Speaker 1: knows how much money he really spent on all this,

327
00:18:15,217 --> 00:18:18,457
Speaker 1: And he created this image of himself by taking in

328
00:18:18,497 --> 00:18:21,297
Speaker 1: people's money who thought that that money was safe and

329
00:18:21,297 --> 00:18:23,537
Speaker 1: could be invested in crypto, and they'd hold it on exchanges.

330
00:18:23,537 --> 00:18:27,097
Speaker 1: He was operating like a crypto bank effectively, but he

331
00:18:27,137 --> 00:18:29,737
Speaker 1: didn't hold this stuff. He spent the money on other things,

332
00:18:30,257 --> 00:18:32,897
Speaker 1: and then when those things didn't work or the money

333
00:18:33,017 --> 00:18:36,097
Speaker 1: just was gone because he just spent it. Where's your deposit,

334
00:18:36,177 --> 00:18:39,057
Speaker 1: so to speak, your crypto? Oh it's gone. Whoops, that's

335
00:18:39,057 --> 00:18:40,737
Speaker 1: all right. I didn't realize that if they actually spent

336
00:18:40,817 --> 00:18:42,457
Speaker 1: the money that you wouldn't have the body you'd need

337
00:18:42,457 --> 00:18:44,857
Speaker 1: to spend later out and give back to your customers.

338
00:18:44,937 --> 00:18:48,497
Speaker 1: The whole thing is crazy, But Sam Bank been freed.

339
00:18:48,737 --> 00:18:51,817
Speaker 1: I love this. Was thinking about spending one hundred million

340
00:18:51,897 --> 00:19:01,297
Speaker 1: dollars sponsoring sponsoring a Taylor Swift concert tour. One hundred

341
00:19:01,297 --> 00:19:03,497
Speaker 1: million dollars. You want to know. People are like, how

342
00:19:03,497 --> 00:19:06,497
Speaker 1: did this guy make a billion dollars disappear by offering

343
00:19:06,497 --> 00:19:11,177
Speaker 1: to be the lead sponsor for Tayte Taylor Swift, who's

344
00:19:11,257 --> 00:19:13,897
Speaker 1: quite lovely and very talented but unfortunately very left wing

345
00:19:15,417 --> 00:19:17,777
Speaker 1: lead sponsor for her at one hundred millions done. Now

346
00:19:17,817 --> 00:19:19,537
Speaker 1: that the deal didn't go through, and now they're saying, oh,

347
00:19:19,577 --> 00:19:21,257
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift never would have done this and all this stuff,

348
00:19:21,297 --> 00:19:25,857
Speaker 1: But it was in consideration he was The FTX was

349
00:19:25,897 --> 00:19:29,697
Speaker 1: the arena in Miami, the arena where the Miami Heat

350
00:19:29,697 --> 00:19:31,937
Speaker 1: play is called the FTX Arena. He actually paid for

351
00:19:32,017 --> 00:19:37,057
Speaker 1: naming rights for it. So this amazing scope of this

352
00:19:37,137 --> 00:19:41,617
Speaker 1: scam is still being exposed, hasn't been arrested, and you

353
00:19:41,657 --> 00:19:43,097
Speaker 1: get the sense that there are they not going to

354
00:19:43,177 --> 00:19:46,177
Speaker 1: arrest this guy, And maybe it's because he knows who

355
00:19:46,217 --> 00:19:48,457
Speaker 1: took the money and in one amounts and can embarrass

356
00:19:48,457 --> 00:19:49,897
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Maybe they hope this just sort

357
00:19:49,937 --> 00:19:52,857
Speaker 1: of goes away. He declares some form of just or

358
00:19:52,937 --> 00:19:55,097
Speaker 1: he continues on, I guess with the bankruptcy that's already

359
00:19:55,137 --> 00:19:58,297
Speaker 1: been declared and says, whoop, see you know my mistake,

360
00:19:58,377 --> 00:20:01,017
Speaker 1: and he paid off all the right people. You know,

361
00:20:01,057 --> 00:20:03,177
Speaker 1: So as much as this guy, it looks like he's, oh,

362
00:20:03,297 --> 00:20:06,057
Speaker 1: how could he have been so foolish and ridiculous, Well,

363
00:20:06,057 --> 00:20:09,337
Speaker 1: he did get billions and billions of dollars into his hands,

364
00:20:10,137 --> 00:20:12,097
Speaker 1: and somehow it looks like he maybe isn't going to

365
00:20:12,177 --> 00:20:15,217
Speaker 1: prison because he knew. You know, if you get like

366
00:20:15,337 --> 00:20:17,217
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift and people like that. In this case is

367
00:20:17,257 --> 00:20:20,017
Speaker 1: actually Tom Brady and Giselle. I mean, he didn't get

368
00:20:20,017 --> 00:20:22,017
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, but if you get people of that stature

369
00:20:22,777 --> 00:20:25,937
Speaker 1: to be associated with your brand, you can do anything.

370
00:20:26,737 --> 00:20:28,497
Speaker 1: You can do anything. No one cares all of a sudden.

371
00:20:28,497 --> 00:20:30,377
Speaker 1: It's crazy when you think about it. Honestly, it's crazy

372
00:20:30,377 --> 00:20:32,457
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Thanks for rolling with me here to
