The Navy is mulling over new names for ships that replace stupid names for ships named after people with no association to the Navy. So the Navy is going to rename the Harvey Milk Ship.
And here's how lefty sites right. Hegseth orders the Navy to strip me. He's not it. They're renaming it.
It is the it was office of the Secretary of the Navy, the official who holds the power to name the ships showed that they had come up with rollout plans. They're renaming the oiler ship the USNS Harvey Milk. And you guys, you guys know Harvey Milk. He was basically basically is a pedophile.
He dated a 16 year old boy. Harvey Milk also praised the Reverend Jim Jones. And in fact, in 1978, he wrote a letter to Jim Acotta, where he was defending Jones. And he was opposing these cut this custody fight between this this guy and his wife, Timothy Stone, was the he was trying to get his six year old son, John, who apparently was living there in Jonestown. And Harvey Milk wrote a letter to Jimmy Carter opposing that custody effort. He wanted to keep John at Jonestown.
And John was amongst the 900 or so people who were killed in murder, suicide there a year later. And this is what Harvey Milk wrote at the time, quote, Reverend Jones is widely known in the minority communities here and elsewhere as a man of the highest character. And he's undertaken constructive remedies for social problems, which have been amazing in their scope and effectiveness.
He's also highly regarded amongst the church, labor and civil civic leaders of a wide range of political persuasions. So he says that Timothy and Grace Stone, they're attempting to damage the reverend's reputation. So anyway, just to let you know, and Harvey, yeah, Harvey Milk is he's got issues. I mean, he had issues. The 16 year old was just amongst them. He preyed on Jack McKinley, when Milk was 33. And McKinley was 16. I mean, there's a lot there. There's nobody had any business name and a ship after this twink.
Nobody did. And so he they're stripping him. They're stripping the ship of that name. Thankfully, golly, I'm pretty sure they're stripping the ship of that name. Thankfully, golly, I'm shocked that the ship didn't sink or something like that.
This is how is that not bad luck? So they so that's that was good news to hear that they said that they confirmed it was making preparations, that it was brought on by Hegseth and that the the timing of the announcement during Pride Month was intentional. Good. And, and they're also going to target other ships. I just Why are you naming ships after people that had nothing to do with the military? Or, like ships, right? Doesn't make any sense.
So they had like the USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, seriously. Come on. I don't know. So they, they're renaming them.
Maybe we can have like some, you know, better names than some of these. I'm gonna but I just Why were we doing that in the first place? What was the point of that? The left is so performative.
Yes, as Kane said, yes, the left wants to wants to tear down all the statues. Well, this is just, you know, we're returning the favor. That's all we're doing. We're returning the favor and restoring some dignity to these vessels. So that was that's good to see. I mean, yes, I know we could, you know, maybe I'd like to see the Pentagon, the DoD spend taxpayer dollars better.
But, you know, we'll see how it goes. Caltech Gen three sub 2k, which they rolled out with just just a month ago. And it's another game changer from Caltech, which always makes really cool stuff. Incredibly neat stuff. Great quality.
I mean, it's American parts, American labor, and everything is made right here in the US of A. And it is the the sub 2k. This this is the one that folds in half, which is awesome. Because it's like gun origami, you can just take it and fold it in half.
It's awesome. Folding available all these different calibers now even more versatile with the 10 millimeter chambering, single twist and fold motion to that rotating forend. That's what that's what folds it in half and it deploys just as quickly and easily zeroed and ready to rock simple and reliable blowback design. So you have ease of maintenance and consistent performance, internal buffer for software recoil, lighter five pound trigger pull, you have an integrated M lock and you got rails up top for accessories, ideal for everything.
And it's made right here in the US of A learn more about Caltech weapons.com innovation performance, Caltech ke lt EC weapons.com.

Direct TV, we're on rumble, we're on X, we're on YouTube, Facebook everywhere. One of the things that we've been talking about, and I always believe that you know, obviously, everything political stems from culture. And it's one of I think, the best lessons that I learned from a very dear friend of mine, who is my one time boss, the lady Andrew Breitbart, who introduced me to the work, not the film work, but like the the political thought work of my next guest.
And I mean, just like a brand new world opened up. David Mamet doesn't really need an introduction. I mean, he is an American icon. And it's crazy, because I've it's really very weird actually talk to somebody who has such a great body of work and who I think redefined how movies talk and was such is such a great writer of dialogue and character development.
And I mean, the scene the Chicago away scene from the untouchables is I think one of the standout scenes that really got me into that genre. And I've read almost everything that he's done. I think I've seen everything that he's done. And he's just a living legend. And he's also like minded, which is very weird.
It's like finding a two headed calf. He's like minded that doesn't happen very often. David Mamet now joins us via video. He's got a new book out the dis enlightenment politics, horror and entertainment and also a new film that he did with Shia LaBeouf Henry Johnson, which you can find on the website Henry Johnson movie.com. And he joins us now, David, it's such a pleasure to have you I've always wanted to talk with you. Thanks so much for giving us some of your time. Congrats on the new film.
Congrats on the book. And thank you for setting all of these knuckleheads straight about everything. I've watched a number of your interviews. And I mean, I've been hearing about it too from other from other viewers and members of our audience who are watching you and they're like, he gets it. And people feel so encouraged that someone who does what you do understands their perspective. So thank you.
Thank you so much. You know, I was thinking about you today. And I know you like beats, right? Yes, you know, I do okay. And I wanted to say that what's missing when we say the Judeo Christian civilization is no longer applicable. What's missing is shame. So you see a lot of things people on the left are free to lie because they have no shame. And they have no shame before each other have no shame before God because they aren't grateful. So I was one I wanted to talk a little bit more about what's missing. tell you that the greatest aid to gratitude is beets do you know why why okay I love beets I know you love beets you sell those super beets so I was thinking you know you eat beets I love you yum yum yum you get up the next morning and you look you peeing and oh my god you see my urine is red I'm pissing blood so the first thing you think is oh my god so soon so soon well I guess that's the thing then you think who's gonna get my pocket knife collection and then you think I hope my wife doesn't marry a lawyer if she does well shame on her and then you remember that you ate beets and you say my god thank you I I'm not actually dying I have another day it's a gift so I wanted to thank you for promoting the religiosity of the gratitude of beets it is my pleasure and it's it's I think it's more pleasurable than asparagus so you're welcome you're welcome on that I wanted I wanted to ask you because you've I think that you get the I mean obviously because you know you're a man I mean I you get the psyche of men and you you get the psyche of male characters and I think you better than anyone can kind of you really see into that and I bring this up because as you know and you've talked about this a little bit Democrats are you know fellow Americans on the other side of the aisle they actually spent twenty something million dollars to study men to try to figure out where they went wrong with men this last election they're trying to understand what the disconnect is what do you think the disconnect is with the left I don't think they needed to spend that on it well you know Schiller that's not not the philosopher my oculus he said with stupidity even the god struggle in vain it's the one thing I know that Schiller said it's so true if someone you know there's two phrases that everyone's using on the left now double down and die on this hill so girls it's all about doubling down so if you're stupid if you've done something stupid as I certainly have I try to do it you know as little as possible when I do it again every day wisdom comes from being able to step back and say you know what that was stupid the problem with the left is that they've plucked themselves into a corner because if they say if any of these absurd blasphemous horrendous savage ideas that they've doubled down on their life is over as far as they know it because they're going to lose their spouse they're going to lose their kids in their head they're going to lose their job they're going to lose their community so they have to keep doubling down and that's why for example as it becomes clearer and clearer that climate change is a hoax they've doubled down on anti-semitism because rather than saying wait a second let's stop right let's go down to the kitchen table and see what's actually happening they have they have to reinforce their their stupidity to make sure they're all on the same page because that's what happens in a totalitarian regime yes yes that's true that's absolutely true that the phrase toxic masculinity I think had contributed a lot to that this idea that men couldn't be men anymore and that men especially like some of the characters that that you've written that those men are somehow anachronistic it with our times today that they're out of vogue that these men don't there's no place in society for manly men anymore but I don't see that I don't I don't see that and I feel like that's do you think that the pendulum is swinging the other way because it seems like for so long men have been under attack they've been I think discredited disenfranchised however you want to put it and now I feel like Democrats in the left they sort of realized that they have played the wrong hand are we are is that pendulum gonna swing back are we going to have like a reset where things feel a little bit more I don't know the best way to say it normal you do normal correct how would you how do you view that are we going to get back to the way that it was like the 80s and the 90s when things seem saner well they were saner we're in the midst of a huge cultural upheaval and I think it's largely formed it's caused by a huge shift in technology just as the culture started to fall apart in the the late 18th early 19th century because of the Industrial Revolution everything changed so things have changed yet again now because of the computer revolution everything has changed and we have an in order to so rather than saying wait a second wait a second wait a second what's changed what can I do about it which you on is saying Trump is saying the Republicans are saying people are saying no no no no no no something is terribly wrong but it's not that the culture has changed which it's very difficult to look at that and say you know what it is men are toxically masculine people are born into the wrong sex Jews of the devil and the earth is burning and PS any man who wants to compete in women's sports so it's it's chicken little whoever's screaming the loudest because who is capable of stepping back and understanding the time in which he or she lives the answer is nobody and that's why we have laws yeah right because if not we're going to resort to our feelings and are feeling absent laws and absent the idea that we can rely on the government just panic look for the first time in many what years I'm not walking around and a lot of people aren't walking around saying oh my god if I say the wrong thing something's gonna throw me in jail so for the first time certainly the last four years I and everybody on the right is saying I believe in government which is not to say so much that I believe in Trump although it may it's saying I believe in law right and I believe the law is going to exist to protect the citizen well that's the nature of the Republic right everyone's equal before the law and underneath the law when they when they violated I mean we're not it's not a rejection of government so much as it's an embrace embracing fair and and and equally apportioned government I guess for the lack of a better way to say it I mean I think that that makes sense do you I know that you you're a fan of POTUS and you don't you identify basically as I think a conservative is what I read which you know you you like to conserve the individual which I think is the best way to put it that's how I've always viewed it how do you view conservatism in modern times now I mean is it it feels like it's it feels like it's the common sense place to be it's like the cut not the common sense party but it's like the common sense ideology and it seems like people who have never really maybe identified as that before maybe there were classical liberals maybe they thought they were kind of more moderate progressives now they're now they think this is so much common sense due to so much of what you said so now they are they're embracing the word conservative conservative conserving common sense conserving individualism yeah I think so you know it says in the Talmud where there is no bread there is no law and where there is no law there is no bread so the question of conservatism constitutional conservatives is not what is the right thing to do because a lot of times we don't know because we all have passions right we want to belong we want to feel good about ourselves and so this idea of classical liberalism what is the right thing to do the idea of social justice which has to mean injustice right because it's based on a feeling the correct question is not what is the right thing to do but the correct question is what is the law now can the law be wrong sure we have a law which enables us to change that additionally that against my people the Jews say the Prophet Micah says Micah says what are you supposed to do do justice love mercy and be humble before God so that's the correct answer to me and as conservatism absolutely do justice but you got to love mercy too right but they're two different verbs aren't they yes yeah exactly and they're not and they're not entirely mutually exclusive either I think we're talking to David yeah exactly talking to David Mamet legendary screenwriter author he's got a new film out as well Henry Johnson with Shia LaBeouf and you can see it at henryjohnsonmovie.com you mentioned to anti-semitism this is a this is an insane thing here it's 2025 and I honestly I hear from my kids I have a son in college and he says that he's noticed an increase in anti-semitism with his generation that talk to me a little bit about that because again it's 2025 I I don't know if we're just so far removed from the greatest generation that we're like forgetting the horror I I'm just trying to wrap my mind around why this is like we had a guy who tried to set people on fire in Boulder and then there was I mean there's like been at least like three I think attacks there's a couple that was shot at in DC what are your thoughts on this and and why how are we in this how is this happening in 2025 what's happening for a bunch of reasons one is that my people the Jews have not had a state for 2,000 years we've been at the best guests and at the worst slaves and always at the mercy of whatever country we were living in because we were never actually citizens so we got into the habit of keeping our head down and saying I can put up with that I can put up with them eventually they're going to kill some of us blah blah blah finally in the state of Israel comes along with some people say you know that's enough we have to have our own state as Theodore Herzl said when he was looking at Dreyfus who was being maligned as a traitor in France in 1895 he was a Jewish officer and Herzl was a very famous and successful Austrian playwright and assimilated Jew and he went to see Dreyfus being disgraced for a false accusation of treason but the people weren't yelling death to the traitor they were yelling death to the Jews and Herzl sat down he said oh my god they're gonna kill us all we need our own country right and by the grace of God 50 years later we have our own country but a lot of the world still doesn't it's wasn't it's it's the go-to thing as a guy loses his his job becomes only beats his wife okay she says if you do that again I'm gonna leave he comes back again he beats her again she goes to the cops the cops say wait a second be a good wife this doesn't happen anymore but that's a traditional unfortunate outbreak of people who were defenseless so to say to the Jew to say of the Jews what what what are you doing to bring it about it's the same thing as saying of the wife well what was the expression on your face when your husband came home now the reason anti-semitism is breaking out again is for two reasons one is that the society is reinventing itself because of this the computers up entered everything how we date whom we marry how we work how we talk to each other what we see where we get our news no sense everything so people are upset so what are they gonna do just like the guy who comes home when he kicks his wife he is going to go to the most proximate permitted victim which is for 2,000 years been the Jews there's a second thing and I think that we understand that when we look at Greta Thunberg right here's a little girl God bless her you know she's the professional truant she says the earth is burning run for your life the earth is burning run for your life okay give her the Nobel Peace Prize you know and pat her on the back and put her on the cover of Time magazine now it turns out that we that the left gets tired of this fiction and it turns out the earth is not burning and the polar ice caps are increasing so now what what is Greta Thunberg do she gets on a ship to go to Gaza what in the hell does does this little girl has never gone to school in her life God bless her all of a sudden not in addition to knowing about the earth is burning she knows about what's happening in Israel she just she just ran out of steam so she crossed decked herself so that's what's happening to a lot those are the two things that lead to anti-semitism it's a proximate victim and the left is always moving from one horror to the next it's COVID it's the y2k thing it's a Islamophobia it's the earth is burning it's and now it's the Jews okay what's new I mean I think they I think that's it entirely I wish that we had more time because I feel like it's like drinking from a firehose and I and I I love the points that you make and I think that you're such a great mind especially and not just conservative ideology but political ideology the new book is the dis enlightenment the secret knowledge was the first book of yours that I read then I went back out of order and read all your other ones but Andrew Breitbart gave me that book and that's how that's how I was introduced to all of your conservative thought was that the secret knowledge David Mamet and the new film Henry Johnson with Shia LaBeouf Henry Johnson movie.com you can go get it watch it right on the site David it's such a pleasure I would love to have you back I'd love to talk with you for a longer period and do like a sit-down I think that you just have so much to say and I'm all

killdozer this was a guy who was a repair shop owner he had a modified bulldozer in Granbury Colorado this is in June 2004 and Marvin he mayor and he was he didn't hurt he didn't hurt anybody during his rage except for himself unfortunately but he was upset because of he was a disgruntled resident because of a zoning dispute and so he destroyed his store and like went on a rampage and he had this killed he had this bulldozer completely kitted out there's no way you could get into it this thing was reinforced reinforced six ways to Sunday but he was known for the killdozer rampage if you want it was falling down come to life it literally was it I mean it absolutely was let's see also I thought that was a very important to share because I almost it was June 4th and 4 so killed or the day is the day unfortunately his rampage ended any he committed suicide which is sad but let's see here a couple of other things while I wait for all of this to reload because it's so ridiculously slow yeah I know it's Safari what are you gonna do I can't us is apparently going to offer Iran a nuclear deal allowing temporary uranium enrichment we'll follow up with more about that an Emmanuel Macron wax work was stolen from a Paris museum by Greenpeace activists I don't know what they're gonna do with it but I'm all for waiting to find out they stole it's gonna melt like if it's warm over there the thing is gonna don't you have to keep those things in like a temperature controlled room scientists were stunned as heat caught on camera bounced like Sun it was the first time apparently that it was ever captured and they said that researchers at MIT used a new mapping technique to observe heat moving as a wave and bouncing back and forth it's a wave like manner and a phenomenon that they call second sound and it's the first time that they were able to actually capture it Walt Disney is going to live again as a robot his granddaughter said he never wanted this it's the saddest headline ever they're gonna try to make him a robot and his granddaughter says it's freaky and she said that she had no it he does not want this he was just grandpa and he does not want something like this I would agree actually oh wait I'm gonna go all the way back here Texas woman dies from brain-eating amoeba after using tainted RV water I am really weird about water sources really weird and she was using nasal this way you only used distilled water if you're gonna do this stuff she used RV water that was tainted where she was I guess doing like a nutty pot and yeah she had neurological symptoms days after and it was brain-eating amoeba and it killed her it's horrible these Chinese nationals that were charged with smuggling agro-terrorism an agent into the u.s. they said it was a direct threat it's they were studying at the University to the University of Michigan labs the FBI director Kash Patel said that these two nationals they were charged with smuggling a dangerous biological pathogen they wanted to study it at the University of Michigan KMC and it I mean obviously that's a serious threat they said that yeah they're there the CCP's continuing to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate institutions and target food supply and then I mean it really could I mean that's there's a reason why customs is so crazy about you know food and animals and seeds and stuff it was a fungus called fucerarium grammarium I don't know it's a basically what's defined as a potential agro-terrorism weapon and they said it causes head blight a disease of weed barley maize and rice and is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year and the toxins also cause vomiting liver damage and reproductive defects in humans and livestock and the criminal in the criminal complaint one of the researchers 33 years old received Chinese government funding for her work on the pathogen in China and that they describe her membership you have to be in good standing in the CCP to be able to go back and forth like that the other individual lied about smuggling it in he brought it into the Detroit Metropolitan Airport you know because if you were all up on the above you know in the up-and-up and you were gonna bring in something like this and study it yeah you definitely smuggle it in and try to avoid border a border protection and customs that's exactly what you do you know if you're on the up-and-up that's the first thing you're gonna do is sneak it into the country right it's ass and I nobody believes that so yeah I think I think they should be put to death you're you're I mean you you committed an egregious violation of US law I think that we coddle these I think we coddle these people this is again another example of the CCP presenting a grave national security concern to the United States I mean tell me I'm wrong I think death penalty for these two send their remains to China I mean why not it's so dumb with this how long has China been doing this can you imagine if something like that were to get yeah they brought it in to study it that's why they snuck it through and lied about sneaking it in and took great precautions to conceal it from customs and Border Patrol yeah that's right I mean it's a very harmful biological material and so they obviously are detained and I guess we'll wait and see they're there that they announced I think they announced these charges yesterday what did you say we wonder why our bread is horrible here oh yeah I mean it's not only the stuff that they spray on for pesticides and things like that but how how do we know this hasn't happened before how do we know that none of this stuff is already in the country already affecting our food supply how do we know that hmm well they discovered so in 2024 of last year one of them was turned away at the Detroit Airport and sent back to China because he kept changing his story when he was being interrogated about red plant material that they found in his backpack and he was he was lying about it and he apparently was exchanging some pretty damaging messages with the partner there on his phone but they said they found a scientific article on his phone titled plant pathogen warfare under changing climate conditions and they both neither of them could keep their story straight and the other thing too is if you're going to claim that you are going to study a tightly controlled pathogen that's monitored by USDA and and Homeland Defense and all this stuff because of the damage that it could do to crops livestock and humans that you would lie and claim that you are going to study it at a university that has the federal permit to handle it because apparently in order to handle this type of pathogen to study it you have to have a specific actually several specific federal permits to handle it and apparently the University of Michigan does not so not only did they hide it but then they lied and said that they were going to go and study it at a university that doesn't have the heart the the actual physical capability to contain it and nor the permits granted to it to actually handle it so yeah they're terrorists they are it this was an this was an act a hostile act by the CCP they should be put to death I mean and they and immediately and they were described as two aliens presenting the gravest national security concern according to charging docks but yeah we don't have an extradition extradition treaty with China so I think one of them did there was another one apparently that did get away but he's not going to get arrested unless he comes back to the United States so that's probably never going to happen but yeah there's it makes yeah makes all the sense in the world they're really bad spies think about this for all the talk about the CCP being you know so you know I guess suave and so good at spying this is really bad this is like some JV stuff like you can't even you can't keep your story straight under interrogation and then you you can't even provide yourself with a good enough cover story and select a university that actually has the capability and the the the permitance to handle this stuff I mean that's just like their spies suck how are we getting duped by China I mean they sent a giant goofy blue blue blue balloon over here and we're like oh really like how are we getting duped by them I mean it's like a third it's a third world nation it is every supplicant at the photos of the propaganda come on this is I don't know am I I'm just shocked that anyone was even remotely fooled and the fact that they had them in like little baggies in their backpack I don't know how this pathogen is set to be contained but cane baggies are not you know the gold standard for sealing off things no no pathogens or anything yeah you don't want to just put it in a ziplock no that's what they did not even kidding not even I mean I think they were in like as I was looking at the photos like a ziplock maybe in a ziplock they you mean like an old-school sandwich bag they used let me let me share yeah yeah yeah like legit like a snack bag or something that looks like a little snack bag oh that's those are the little baggies they had a little bitty baggies and they had those in their backpacks like how was that not all over you dude that's not nothing's contained in that Oh walking through the airports with that in their backpacks you know derp derp just another day another day in China my gosh well no wonder they eat bats just saying the woof Lou thanks for tuning into today's
