JRE End Of The World #2

three two one is it real it's live that's it end of the world part two Tim
Dylan you savage it's good to see you my friend thank you for having me we're
back Kyle Kalinske a voice of reasons person who actually understands politics
that's debatable how much the voice of reason I am I will say I will lean
towards you knowing what you're talking about what's going on oh so do you do
you have an opinion about how this is yeah do I yeah do I have a prediction yes
yes it's very likely to be Joe Biden winning and what makes you say this
first of all let me just let me just make clear so you know we don't get mass
downvoted I'm not saying that because I necessarily want that to happen I'm
saying that empirically I think it's very likely that he's gonna win and the
reason
I say that is I actually sent this to you Jamie if you want to pull it up but
when
you look at the polls and I know we get into whether or not you should even
believe the polls right because you don't think so right well my thing with
polls I even have a bit on it it's like who answers polls morons so if you're
listening to morons like 46% of morons believe this but nobody a normal person
with like a regular life that hey Kyle may I have a few minutes of your time to
ask you about politics you don't say yes to that morons say yes to that so the
people that you're polling are almost all morons yeah lonely or sad or lonely
or
sad right it's true I can talk to a pollster nobody pulls me I'm waiting every
night for a call I want to talk for hours about and no one cares yeah have you
ever
answered a poll I've never answered a polled no have you I've never been
called Jamie have you ever answered a poll not like a real one no not a real
one
I don't feel like Kleenex I don't know who they call and why they I don't
believe in polls and I don't believe in Nielsen families I don't think they're
real I've never met a Nielsen family it's a good point people say they have a
friend all my friends a Nielsen family right really right so our ratings
everything's just fake it's all fake yeah we don't know anything the news is
now we know the news is definitely fake I'll give you that when fake news when
you hear what would hear fake news you'd be like that's such an unfortunate
term I
hate when people say that cuz you know it's not fake you know Hillary started
that right it wasn't Trump what Hillary was the first the original one who said
fake news and then Trump took it and ran with it and everybody thinks it's just
a
Trump thing no way when I think the first time that that term came up she said
something it may have been in the context of like oh we need to regulate fake
news
online like fake news there's all the there's all these stories that blow up on
Facebook and they're not true and maybe we should do something about it and she
used the term fake news in a speech and then after that it was Trump who
started
using it now everybody thinks it's you know been him all along hmm interesting
interesting yeah well he used it a lot that's for sure I mean yeah now it's his
obviously it's crazy though that got like a patent on it 2016 was when we first
heard that term like that we have existed for a long time there's been media
for a
long term even internet for a long time relatively and yet fake news is a new
thing and now but I used to think it was bullshit I used to think was a cheap
cop
out for someone who didn't want to deal with facts and they would just tell
their
people hey this is fake news and you'd be like but you know that's not fake see
that's one of the reasons why I think Trump resonated is because he would say
stuff that I think people around the country just had a sense that he's right
about it like Joe think about it the media in this country lied us into the
Iraq war right if there was like that is the definition of fake news not only
is
it fake news but it's fake news that led to the deaths of two hundred thousand
innocent Iraqi civilians and thousands of our own soldiers when you say that
you
don't think they were in on it no I don't think see the way it works is and
Noam Chomsky's got a book called manufacturing consent where he really
dives into the specifics of this and gives you the mechanics of it but
basically the way it works is the people who get hired at these news outlets
they've all had like the proper training they go to the Ivy League schools you
know they study journalism and you only get promoted if they know you're really
not gonna rock the boat and what I mean by that is you basically repeat the
line
that the government wants you to repeat and so you know when George W Bush and
Dick Cheney were out there making the case a good little journalist says oh
here's
what the president says and here's what the vice president says and they're
saying that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction and then you had
Colin Powell go to the UN and hold up the uranium and say oh see I mean what do
you want to do do you
want what did they say do you want the evidence to come in the form of a
mushroom
shaped cloud right that was them saying we need to act now and forget about
proving it we have to act now and the media went right along with them was
there
any doubt that they knew that that was not true I think there are probably some
people who made the argument who were convinced of the propaganda themselves
but
no the decision had been made long before that that Saddam Hussein was on a
list of
rogue actors who we wanted to overthrow and by the way that list still exists
today so
all this fighting that we do with Iran they're on the list and we want to
overthrow them as well
yeah a lot of people don't know the history of it we want to get them bad bad
they executed that Olympic wrestler no why did they do that he went to a
protest oh the the Iranians executed yeah he went to a peaceful protest and
they
wanted to make an example of him he's an Olympic hero how did they execute him
I don't
know geez I don't know but the UFC made a push Dana White put out a video
begging
the government to please not do not execute him so authoritarian theocracy you
know that's what happens there's no social freedoms yeah you know the idea of
freedom of speech is totally foreign there well it's it's as you said a
theocracy like I talked about it with Glenn Greenwald too that they they have
an
extraordinary high number of transgender women because they don't allow okay
they
don't allow gay right yeah so if you want to if you're a man you're attracted
to
men you you have to become a woman right which is crazy that they're okay with
that very in a weird way kind of very progressive like an incredibly
progressive
yeah it's progressive and homophobic at the same super weird way yeah this is
the
thing I mean like we're dealing 2020 and people getting beheaded in France for
showing cartoons I mean listen all over again I was actually just talking about
this earlier that you know one of our top allies Saudi Arabia they still behead
people in the public square yeah you know it's a and they do it for drug
smuggling they do it for apostasy all these crimes that are not even really
crimes and they'll kill you that's crazy that that's happening in 2020 that's
the
thing that people when when people are not afraid of dictatorships or of the
governor government running wild in America I was trying to tell them like
North Korea is happening right now these are human beings those human beings
that
went down a path is it likely that will go down that same path no but human
beings
have been going down those paths from the beginning of language from the
beginning of time the strong man is a big you know the idea of a strong man the
dictator the person I call all the shots that's why everybody scared terrified
of
Trump that's why a lot of intellectuals were terrified of Trump they didn't
like
that language they didn't like they didn't like what people were attracted to
about him because they knew where that led
they didn't like like what was that it was a phrase he said once where he was
talking about I wish I was a dictator it would be a lot easier
remember that I don't remember that no I feel like I would remember that quote
yeah it was what I remember he did something like that something like
something like that if I was a dictator this job would be easier yeah I think
you
know someone was calling him a dictator and he's like I wish I was addicted but
that's him lamenting the paperwork that he has to go through and all that yeah
I think the paperwork yeah I mean the thing that drove me crazy is that like so
you had under Bush and you had under Obama basically the expansion of the
security state and you had like the Patriot Act NSA spying all these tools that
are authoritarian tools that the government can use and Trump correctly
when he ran spoke about ending the wars and but then he gets in power and the
wars continue and then he gets in power he didn't dismantle he talks all the
time
about how the Obama campaign was spying on me and I'm watching it like if only
you were in a position of power to do something about that like disband the NSA
but
it was the NSA spying that's a good way to get shot yeah yeah that's a good way
to get
actually Chuck Schumer made that point too when he was on MSNBC he had a moment
of honesty
where he was like you don't mess with the guys in the intelligence agencies
because they got a
thousand ways to Sunday to get back at you right yeah well that was one of the
things that he said to Trump Glenn Glenn Glenn brought that up that's right
that podcast as well well also it doesn't seem like Biden is more of a war hawk
though in a weird way and Kamal is more of a war hawk it's about Russia they're
talking about Trump's too friendly with North Korea he's too yes on those
issues
absolutely it's kind of weird I'm like shouldn't we be friendly with these
nuclear powers that but isn't that just to court the people on the right that
maybe you're they find out I think listen Biden was part of the Obama
administration we don't have to guess they continued the wars you know what I
mean and so I think Biden will continue the wars and to your point yes there
are
specific issues like Russia where what the Democrats say happens to be more
hawkish it's more bellicose all the Republicans but the thing that drives me
crazy is that whenever any of them get in power none of them just end the wars
none of
them get out of Iraq none of them get out of Afghanistan every now and then
Trump
will fire off a tweet where he's like you know we're getting out and then one
of the
generals behind the scenes is like no we're not and he's like you're right we're
not I
was wrong about that can we afford to get out of the wars this is an ugly
question
can we afford afford to stop the wars now afford yeah isn't it a moneymaker isn't
that why oh yeah military industrial complex sure there are a lot of people
that make a lot of money
from it it's a tough economy maybe we stopped the wars in a couple of years I
don't know I know and
actually one time on CNN seems like an odd time Wolf Blitzer actually said that
to Paul or uh I'm
I'm sorry Rand Paul when Rand Paul made that argument he was like we should not
be giving weapons to Saudi Arabia um and Wolf Blitzer's response was yeah but
what about the jobs
right did anybody say that yes yes he's like I mean listen I know you don't
want like babies to be bombed in Yemen by Saudi Arabia but then again Raytheon
needs to make some money what are you gonna do
it's such a dirty game I ran into him in a hotel in Vegas does he exist as an
actual person he's a human he's a robot right he was coming he was coming out
of the elevator and I was coming towards him and he looked at me and I looked
at him and I wanted to go hey man can I ask you some questions just a few
fucking minutes and then I didn't I just said hey what's up and I just got in
the elevator and I'm like ah you should have fucking talked to him he's what I
