    SNL nostalgia, Cosby satire, and “predicting the future” debates

    1. NA

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

    2. KM

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

    3. NA

      (instrumental music)

    4. KM

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      Okay.

    6. KM

      This- (laughs) It's got-

    7. JR

      Meet the Cosby Kids. Oh my God-

    8. KM

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      ... look at the s- the thing says, "Meet the Cosby Kids."

    10. KM

      Who wrote this sketch? (laughs)

    11. JR

      I don't know, but what's funny is that back then that was ridiculous.

    12. KM

      Yes. A, I mean Phil Hartman's gone but, uh, all the rest of yous, thanks for speaking up. Uh, (laughs) hey, this reminds me of the sketch that we did.

    13. JR

      Right.

    14. KM

      I hear- how come I just heard of this now?

    15. JR

      How come I just heard of this now?

    16. KM

      Boy, SNL was funny.

    17. JR

      Oh, SNL was great-

    18. KM

      (laughs)

    19. JR

      ... when Phil Hartman was on it. The early days of SNL were amazing.

    20. KM

      Yo, was Al Franken working there when they did that?

    21. JR

      I don't know.

    22. KM

      'Cause I would think Senator Franken would've said something.

    23. JR

      Oh, he's not a senator anymore. He got caught hugging a girl.

    24. KM

      Yeah, I would think after he got screwed over like that-

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. KM

      ... you wouldn't still do Blue MAGA, but I guess you would.

    27. NA

      (instrumental music)

    28. JR

      Ah, he's just locked, locked in, you know?

    29. KM

      Hey man, I-

    30. JR

      That guy's great too. Al Franken's a great guy.

  2. 2:324:46

    Ancient precedents for gender/ritual extremity: Cybele, Nero, and “nothing is new”

    1. KM

      Not in your department, but, I mean, you know how far back this should go? You know, you, you know in Rome, the Galleys of Cybele? You know what that is?

    2. JR

      No.

    3. KM

      When they were losing to Hannibal and they... The Priestess of Cybele? It's like C-Y- E-Y-B-E-L-E. It's, looks like Sibley but it's Cybele.

    4. JR

      Okay.

    5. KM

      And, uh, what, and the, and the myth behind it is insane. Like the myth story is this one god that was too horny that had both sets of organs.

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. KM

      So they trick him. I love, I love, like, they trick him with wine and he, they tie his dick to the ground and he-

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. KM

      Come on, this somebody went to church on Sunday-

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. KM

      ... somebody went to a church and learned this.

    12. JR

      Tie his dick to the ground like how they do a bull? Like through the nose?

    13. KM

      Yeah, then he ju-

    14. JR

      (laughs)

    15. KM

      Yes. Yes. Yes, exactly.

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. KM

      And then he jumped up and it ripped his dick off.

    18. JR

      Oh, Jesus.

    19. KM

      I am, I'm d- and, um, and then, so he be- he starts hanging out with his handsome nephew. And, and his nephew is faking like he's a great hunter 'cause his dickless uncle... He still has a pussy, the uncle.

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. KM

      But these gods sure sound like just LA people.

    22. JR

      (laughs)

    23. KM

      (laughs) Why don't the gods just sound like LA people?

    24. JR

      This is it.

    25. KM

      Okay. So my favorite-

    26. JR

      Cybele?

    27. KM

      Yeah, the eunuch priest. So my favorite writing about it is, like, in, they, uh, when they celebrate, uh, Cybele, and then the s- the, the legend or the myth has more of, like, this wedding gets sabotaged by the jealous ripped off dick guy.

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. KM

      And, and the women cut off their own breasts-

    30. JR

      Oh.

  3. 4:465:17

    Postmodernism, simulation talk, and the “nothing means anything” slippery slope

    1. KM

      Remember when you had that guy, uh, Thaddeus whatever, the postmodern guy? I was just watching a clip.

    2. JR

      Oh, yeah. (laughs)

    3. KM

      And, and I, I happened to just rewatch it. And, um, and he basically told you, like, nothing's anything.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. KM

      Like, that's why I think all that the simulation talk is, is all like... I look at everything as what's the marketing here to me. And a lot of it's like, "Nothing means anything, so, you know, like, it's w- what's the big deal if y- with kids you could do stuff with," right? It always gets to that eventually.

    6. JR

      Well, most of those guys-

    7. KM

      Nothing's anything.

    8. JR

      ... who say that don't have kids.

    9. KM

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

  4. 5:1710:38

    Meme-coin mania: Trump coin, pump-and-dumps, and gambling logic

    1. KM

      You absorb your... Dude, it is like middle-aged men, you know. By the way, uh, I'm heavily invested in Hawk Tuah Coin.

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. KM

      Let me talk about these idiots then.

    4. JR

      We, we should talk about that because I want to know what is, what, what is going on with the MAGA coin. Here's the thing that we were talking about last night.

    5. KM

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      The MAGA coin was worth 36 billion dollars.

    7. KM

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      So here- Trump coin. It's not the MAGA coin? No, it's the Trump coin. Just Trump. Okay, Trump coin. So the Trump coin, I'm calling it the MAGA coin, sorry. The Trump coin's worth 36 billion dollars. What that means is 36,000 people-

    9. KM

      Mm-hmm.

    10. JR

      ... put a million dollars in.

    11. KM

      Mm-hmm.

    12. JR

      That doesn't make sense. So that's 36,000 million. That's what 36 billion is.

    13. KM

      ... I, I believe you.

    14. JR

      Right?

    15. KM

      I'm not good at math.

    16. JR

      Isn't that right? That's right.

    17. KM

      That's why. I know Hawk Tuah is going to the moon.

    18. JR

      That sounds insane.

    19. KM

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      That you could get 36,000 people willing-

    21. KM

      Yeah, right.

    22. JR

      Let's say it's way more people, way less money they contribute. It still seems insane if you're using real money.

    23. KM

      You never been to a casino or something?

    24. JR

      I, but that, that's the point. We talked about this.

    25. KM

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      You and I talked about this. It is essentially gambling. Yeah. It's degenerate gamblers is how the people that make the coins talk about the people. Right. But the argument is that Trump is ripping off his fans with this Trump coin. But my question is-

    27. KM

      Maybe-

    28. JR

      ... like how, how is he ripping off his fans? It's basically like DraftKings. (laughs) Like, what are you doing?

    29. KM

      So, so it's a casino and the thing is-

    30. JR

      Right.

  5. 10:3814:26

    Campaign cash as a “human pump-and-dump”: Kamala spending, fundraising, and NGOs

    1. KM

      Dude, I told you, I think that's what Kamala was because they all knew she wouldn't win. And they, they ran a great campaign. They keep saying that hypnotic phrase is it, well, great in that they knew she wouldn't win. They all didn't like her and they all cashed in. They go, "Okay."

    2. JR

      They did cash in. They didn't just cash in.

    3. KM

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      But a lot of those special interest groups cashed in.

    5. KM

      She's a human Hawk Tuah pump and dump.

    6. JR

      Right.

    7. KM

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      Because, uh, what was the final tally for the amount of money they spent? At first they were saying it was $1 billion.

    9. KM

      $1 billion.

    10. JR

      But it's more. I think now they've got it at 1.5 billion.

    11. GA

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. KM

      It's like the Tim and Eric billion dollar movie. And I'll bet Tim and Eric voted for it.

    14. JR

      (laughs)

    15. GA

      (laughs)

    16. KM

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      They definitely voted for it.

    18. KM

      Smart.

    19. JR

      It's important when you're in Hollywood to vote right.

    20. KM

      Uh-

    21. JR

      If you wanna get ahead in your career, you have to vote right. You have to vote correctly.

    22. KM

      Well, if you really want to get ahead, you should do something f- dirty on tape with another scummy motherfucker that you can hold over each other. You know, it's how our government works.

    23. JR

      Wow. That's what I heard.

    24. KM

      America's national bird should be gay Black male.

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. GA

      (laughs)

    27. KM

      Okay. Do you know what the eye in the pyramid is? It's somebody peeping through a hole and watching you-

    28. JR

      There it is. How Kamala Harris burned through 1.5 billion in 15 weeks.

    29. KM

      So they, they, so she's the Hawk Tuah of this. They're dumping it all on her, even though it was probably Howie Mandel's son-in-law that did it.

    30. JR

      She's pressed for more cash since the election, which is crazy. She's asking for cash still.

  6. 14:2624:58

    Gene-editing, engineered intelligence, and mistrust of “playing God”

    1. KM

      That's the new future. So I, I... When you told me that China thing, that they were doing some weird intelligence-raising experiment. What'd you tell me about?

    2. JR

      Yes. Yeah, they did a... Well, they said that they were trying to take these babies and make them immune to HIV, but what they were really doing was making their propensity for intelligence much higher.

    3. KM

      So you think... See, I, yeah.

    4. JR

      And then the guy, the guy got arrested for doing it and went to jail-

    5. KM

      Mm-hmm, yeah.

    6. JR

      ... and then he got out. But he was like this... Like, which obviously they wanted him to do it. Like, the whole thing is, like, escapism.

    7. KM

      Yeah. Well, you gotta compete or America's gonna hand you your ass.

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. KM

      I'm sure they got the same story here, here.

    10. JR

      But they're f-

    11. KM

      China's gonna hand us our ass.

    12. JR

      They're literally developing geniuses from the womb on purpose.

    13. KM

      Hey, hey, so are we. Real weird geniuses.

    14. JR

      But here's the question: Why wouldn't you do that? If you found out that there was a thing that you could do to kids-

    15. KM

      That doctor mutilating the children?

    16. JR

      No, no. Yeah.

    17. KM

      These kids have been mutilated.

    18. JR

      Well, sure, but if it's something just so simple as it just elevates your intellect, if there's a gene expression that they can turn on or off and this thing that they can do when the child is in the womb can make the child 25% more intelligent...

    19. KM

      Right, but they're gonna be autistic.

    20. JR

      Are you sure?

    21. KM

      Well, have you seen the telepathy tapes, which everyone tells me about?

    22. JR

      Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's not int-... Those are non-verbal people. Like-

    23. KM

      Well, you turn the crank as to whatever.

    24. JR

      You know, but how, how-

    25. KM

      It's the right blend of chemicals.

    26. JR

      But how do we know? We don't know that these people are autistic. They might just be g- just genius and might not have a side effect.

    27. KM

      Wait, wait, wait, wait.

    28. JR

      Like, there are people that are geniuses.

    29. KM

      The Chinese ones or the ones-

    30. JR

      The Chinese ones, where they manipulated the genes. The things is, like, there's, they're-

  7. 24:5829:35

    Blackmail networks, Roy Cohn, and the presidency as a managed role

    1. KM

      Um, Trump's friend that, that notorious lawyer. Roy Cohn.

    2. NA

      Okay.

    3. KM

      Roy Cohn.

    4. JR

      I don't know who he is.

    5. KM

      You've never heard of Roy Cohn yesterday?

    6. JR

      I've heard the name, but I don't know who he is. Like, if you ask me, like, "What does Roy Cohn do?"

    7. KM

      Okay. So-

    8. JR

      ... I wouldn't be able to tell you.

    9. KM

      ... my guess is Roy Cohn told Trump where all the bodies are buried. And, and I really got put onto this by Dark Journalist, I'm telling you, the guy's great. Uh, uh, Daniel List, his name is, 'cause he's- he just, just the facts. He just gets the facts.

    10. JR

      Just the facts, ma'am.

    11. KM

      Yeah. And so Roy Cohn, that whole, the whole network that the whole pyramid scheme works on, which is blackmail, okay? Roy Cohn's part of that. And Trump, you'll notice, doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs. You know about who he sle- Yeah, this guy. So you know who Trump slept with alread- Like, I don't care that he paid that chick to shut up. Oh, why would you even try to prosecute for that, like I give a shit?

    12. JR

      (laughs)

    13. KM

      You know this shit, all these other mother f- You know, the-

    14. JR

      How creepy does he look?

    15. KM

      He wa- Okay, he was a creep, but-

    16. JR

      He looks creepy.

    17. KM

      He to- He, so Trump was going in. They wanted Trump to run 'cause then you'd have to vote Hillary. You remember this, the, the story.

    18. JR

      Right, right.

    19. KM

      Okay? And then Trump won, and it's like, uh, you know, in Pulp Fiction when, when, uh, Bruce Willis wins and he shouldn't have. (laughs)

    20. JR

      Right, right. (clears throat)

    21. KM

      And, uh, because you can't have a guy that you don't have blackmail on.

    22. JR

      Right.

    23. KM

      I think the president, if the president doesn't have the highest security clearance, and he doesn't. The president does not. He's supposed to, I thought, but he doesn't. And the excuse is, "Well, he's only there 48 years." Right?

    24. JR

      Right.

    25. KM

      So already now you've told me there's a deep state with that. Just with that.

    26. JR

      Right, right, right.

    27. KM

      And now you're telling me that the president has not meant anything for quite some time because I d- So there's secrets we don't get to know or vote for, and that's just how it is. And I, you saw Men in Black, just trust 'em.

    28. JR

      Listen-

    29. KM

      They got Will Smith on the team.

    30. JR

      Hey, hey, I don't like the way you're talking.

  8. 29:3544:59

    Forgiveness vs accountability, JFK files, MKUltra, and Bay of Pigs blowback theory

    1. KM

      There's no forgiveness, dude. So, so look, that's a, that's ... Here's the thing, like, you know, like Russell Brand's into Jesus ... You know, I don't know what's, like, true or not, but I do know the way the system works is, uh, a perpetrator/victim forever, and that's the pyramid. And so you're gonna have to forgive people. I don't wanna forgive none of them people at all. So, uh, it will take a miracle from Jesus (laughs) to make me feel like that 100%.

    2. JR

      I don't mind forgiving people. I just don't think that they should be in the same positions. If they were using their power to manipulate people and then something comes out about them that shows that-

    3. KM

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      ... this is why they were doing it, that person shouldn't be allowed to continue doing it and we forgive them. They should find a new thing to do.

    5. KM

      Yeah, and I just think it's a good idea-

    6. JR

      Because they shouldn't be in control of the rest of the country's life.

    7. KM

      Dude, when those files come out, the JFK ones, 'cause, you know, what, how much is gonna come out? They don't li- The reason they overclassify, I think, is you don't need that much threads to pull to pull it apart, and much smarter people than me just do that all the time, and you can still find them. And so when these new files come out and s- You know, I'll, here's what I'll bet. It'll be a lot of s- shit to go through.... a lot.

    8. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    9. KM

      Um, I always think of what, that thing you told me of the Judge Napolitano about if you saw what I saw you wouldn't release it either.

    10. JR

      Yeah. Yeah.

    11. KM

      Now, I think I know what that means, but I don't obviously.

    12. JR

      What do you think it means?

    13. KM

      Oh, I think it's Monarch, dude. I think it's part of Mo-... I hope it is. I hope they're gonna get that off their chest, that MKUltra never ended. I hope we're gonna get that off our chest. Because tha- all UFO shit is directly with that and I don't know which parts are the mind control shit and which parts are some kind of entity. So and it's on purpose that you're not supposed to connect it, but they're very connected. S-

    14. JR

      Well, I told you my friend Evan Hafers' theory about JFK.

    15. KM

      What is that?

    16. JR

      That when, um... So here's what happened. They don't clue JFK in on the Bay of Pigs until very late in the operation and air support is critical for the survivors of the guys on the ground.

    17. KM

      Oh, Cubans. Yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm.

    18. JR

      So he pull-... Not the Cubans. Americans.

    19. KM

      Oh.

    20. JR

      American special ops guys. So they send in the fucking most ultra-violent, best killers we have, but they have to have air support. Well, he pulls, JFK pulls air support, and those guys get fucked, and a lot of guys died that shouldn't have died. So those guys come back and they are fucking furious and those are the type of people that you would hire to kill people.

    21. KM

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      Because they kill people already. So if you've got those guys and you've got this president that the entire Special Forces division that went onto that island wants dead.

    23. KM

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      So you have thousands or I don't know how many people deployed in that-

    25. KM

      Mm-hmm.

    26. JR

      ... particular operation, but you've got, let's say you've got a thousand hardcore killers that want this president dead because their buddies got blown up unnecessarily.

    27. KM

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      Totally makes sense.

    29. KM

      Yeah. Um, I have a question 'cause, uh, they are killers. Um, how come they tried to kill Fidel Castro 600 fucking times which is kind of high, didn't get that done, only tried to kill Kennedy once, got that done?

    30. JR

      Well, Kennedy was in a fucking convertible in Dallas and Fidel Castro was well-aware-

    Media manipulation: “do your own research,” tinfoil hat origins, and propaganda legalization

    1. KM

      "Oh, we go... Don't worry, we changed it in the dictionary." They did do that. Uh, and by the way, don't... "Do your own research," I'm never letting that go. I read that in Forbes, "You must never-"

    2. JR

      Don't do your own research.

    3. KM

      ... n- "You must never do your own research." "Can, ooh, can I finish this, uh, issue of Forbes at least? Do I have to put it down right now?" Wh- Why would you say that?

    4. JR

      Well, what's crazy about them saying that is all the things they were saying that were conspiracy theories, 'cause this is all in regards... The "do your own research" stuff was all in regards to COVID-19. All the things-

    5. KM

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      ... that people were saying, that they were calling a conspiracy theory, turned out to be true.

    7. KM

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      Every single one of them, but yet no correction. But yet they still wanna be the people that give you the news.

    9. KM

      Hey, you know where the term tinfoil hat came from, right?

    10. JR

      I don't remember.

    11. KM

      Okay. Ctrl-Alt-History. I can't recommend this channel enough. Lot of, like, recent history, but tinfoil hat, a guy named Leonard Kiles, K-I-L-E-S. He had patents on, uh, like, Polaroid camera shit, okay? He was a smart guy. He thought his girlfriend was cheating on him and he would fly into rages and was seeing a therapist. Bad luck for him this therapist was a CIA guy. Yeah, Delgado.

    12. JR

      (laughs)

    13. KM

      Those old things with the bull where it doesn't charge because they're putting... It's a chip. You know, the brain chip has been invented a long time ag- ago. So, they put this in this guy's head without telling him, a brain chip, and then, uh, it- it turned him into... I- I mean, it just fucked him up, okay? And he ended up in a booby hatch and the pain from... You know, 'cause microwaves have to be transmitted to his chip. So the pain of that in his brain made him put metal trash cans on his... 'Cause he's smart. He knew science things and what they were using even though he was in pain. And then they started letting him use aluminum foil around his fucking head. And that's... So we get the term tinfoil hat from a guy the CIA mutilated and fucked up. And now we say it as a joke. Do you see how magic works? Yeah.

    14. JR

      What was the- the implant they put in on him?

    15. KM

      Uh, what was it called? The one they made in the '90s was called SoulCatcher, which is ominous.

    16. JR

      Jesus Christ.

    17. KM

      Yeah, SoulCatcher.

    18. JR

      That's what they called it?

    19. KM

      I sent you that. That was on, uh, CNET. I- I texted it to you, dude.

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. KM

      It's, uh, British Telecom.

    22. JR

      It probably got lost in that fucking scroll that you texted me.

    23. KM

      Yo, hey, if you're worried about the new Elon chip, I got great news, guys. They don't need a chip to do their thing no more. They did it. That... Why do you think people go, "Hey, what is this woke mind virus?" Well, it's a lot like the COVID virus, a thing a guy made.

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. KM

      Why would you even work on something like that unless you were gonna deploy it? L- the CIA verifies, oh, they did think it was a leak. Well, guess what? It wasn't a leak. I bet you it was on... Well, and I think it was on purpose, 'cause I don't know why you're fucking around with that if it ain't on purpose.

    26. JR

      But why are you doing this gain-of-function research if you're not trying to find a cure? 'Cause they clearly didn't have a cure.

    27. KM

      A cure for a disease that doesn't exist yet? That's suspicious. Hey-

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. KM

      ... how come all the new viruses that come out, the explanation, the not racist and good explanation that you shouldn't research, 'cause that's how science works obviously, n- by not doing research, uh, they all come 'cause some guy fucked an animal? All of 'em?

    30. JR

      (laughs)

    Government experiments on civilians: St. Louis, Operation Sea-Spray, and biowarfare logic

    1. JR

      San Francisco was pneumonia.... St. Louis, Dora Spates was a baby when her father died inexplicably. She has watched her siblings die of cancer. She survived cervical cancer. Learned the arm- army conducted secret chemical testing in her impoverished St. Louis neighborhood in the height of the Cold War. She wonders if her own government is to blame. In the mid-1950s and again a decade later, the army used motorized blowers atop a low-income housing high-rise at schools and from the back of station wagons to send a potentially dangerous compound into the already hazy air in predominantly Black areas of St. Louis. Local officials will, were told at the time that the government was testing a smokescreen that could shield St. Louis from aerial observation in case the Russians attacked. But in 1994, the government said the tests were part of a biological weapons program and St. Louis was chosen because it bore some resemblances to Russian cities that the US might attack. The material being sprayed was zinc cadmium sulfide.

    2. KM

      Cadmium, that's what it was. I was wrong, yeah.

    3. JR

      Cadmium sulfide, a fine fluorescent powder.

    4. KM

      Yeah. Oh, yeah, the R- Russians have Black neighborhoods, I guess.

    5. JR

      The new research raising greater concern about the implications of those tests, St. Louis Community College Burmeck sociology professor Lisa Marino-Taylor's research has raised the possibility that the army performed radiation testing by mixing radioactive particles with the zinc cadmium sulfide, although she concedes there is no direct proof.

    6. KM

      Fucking jerk-off motion.

    7. JR

      Right. But w- if she's saying this, she must have some reasoning.

    8. KM

      Do you have weed?

    9. JR

      Her ... Yeah. But her report, uh, released last month was troubling enough that both US senators from Missouri wrote to Army Secretary John McHugh demanding answers. Wow.

    10. KM

      Oh, yeah.

    11. JR

      So this, the, the San Francisco one was a disease thing. Find that, Jamie. The San Francisco one, they were, uh, they were spraying pneumonia into the clouds.

    12. KM

      Oh, good.

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. KM

      Well, I'm sure they've stopped doing things like that.

    15. JR

      Yeah. What it, what it was the San Francisco one. The, I think they, they had the fog coming in and they wanted to see if they could distribute a disease that way, and so they spread a disease aerially to see how many people were infected.

    16. KM

      How many was it?

    17. NA

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      I don't know. What year was that? What year was it that they did that? I wanna say that was the '80s.

    19. NA

      What should I say there was... 'Cause I type, I can't look up MKUltra. It's gotta be something else but I have no idea, so.

    20. JR

      No, no, no. Uh, San Francisco experimented with diseases on its population. Try that. What do you got?

    21. NA

      Uh, after spraying in 1950 or a few years ago.

    22. KM

      I mean, it, they just did it to you a couple years ago. (laughs)

    23. JR

      1950, it wasn't the '80s. Okay, United States, after secretly spraying San Francisco with SM ... What is SM? Uh, in 1950, 11 patients at a ci- city hospital condu- contracted, uh, serratia infections, one of whom died. The army deemed the outbreak a coincidence and continued to use SM as a simulant in subsequent open-air tests.

    24. KM

      Operation Sea-Spray. (laughs)

    25. JR

      That's it, Operation Sea-Spray.

    26. KM

      That's ... (laughs)

    27. JR

      Okay, so a bacteria. So US Navy in 1950, US Navy's secret biological warfare experiment in which Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glob- globigil, globigii, globigii bacteria were sprayed over the San Francisco Bay area in California in order to determine how vulnerable a city like San Francisco may be to a bioweapon attack, killing at least one American and sickening at least 10 more. Imagine, "Let's find out how ab- we could be vulnerable to a bioweapon on our citizens, and to protect them, we will use a bioweapon on our citizens."

    28. KM

      Yeah, that's, um-

    29. JR

      "And we will kill people."

    30. KM

      Yeah. Well, so that's the attitude is, "You're cattle." That's the attitude.
