Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Hollywood's “Woke” Adaptation of the Odyssey

• Backlash Against Nolan’s Odyssey
  • The new Odyssey film (directed by Christopher Nolan) is receiving pushback for its diverse casting, particularly the casting of Elliot Page as Achilles and Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy.
  • The hosts satirize the notion that questioning these casting decisions is simply bigotry, lampooning Variety’s defense of the film.
  • Crowder:

    "They're basically saying that right wing trolls are unfairly attacking the Odyssey. And by the way, you are a right wing troll. The ultimate right wing troll is Elon Musk." [52:47]

• Hollywood’s Use of Quotas
  • The show details new Academy Award diversity requirements—films must fulfill quotas in at least two out of four categories (on-screen representation, creative leadership, industry access, audience development).
  • The hosts argue that, prior to these mandates, organic representation already existed in popular culture, listing stars like Will Smith, Denzel Washington, and Morgan Freeman.
• Forced Diversity vs. Organic Storytelling
  • The group discusses that it’s not the presence of diversity itself, but its “forced” and inorganic nature, that feels manipulative.
  • Elliot:

    "We did it organically... It's not that we have a problem with the diversity. It's the problem that you're forcing it. We can feel you forcing it." [61:47]

  • The crew laments that Hollywood’s incentive is now to please the Academy, not audiences.

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Misogyny in the Source Material:

  "Can we find something chauvinistic or misogynistic in the Odyssey?... the first time ever in recorded history where a man told a woman to shut up in literature..." –Gerald [05:16]

• On Achilles Casting:

  "Nowhere did Homer say that Achilles had issues with testosterone." –Elliot [56:32]
  "If not for Achilles, old Achilles heel, which can, of course, be found in his vagina or a stiff breeze." –Gerald [56:48]

2. Hollywood as Ideological Machine

• Ideology Over Profit
  • Discussion shifts to how Hollywood will risk losing money on films to push ideological narratives, comparing this to public education and other institutions.
  • They give examples of previous “woke” film failures (e.g., Captain Marvel, She-Hulk) and state Hollywood now targets children and uses school content for ideological ends.
  • Crowder:

    “It’s not even a profit motive for Hollywood, it’s an ideological one. They will lose money for a period of time to try and seize control over, if not your mind, eventually your children’s. It takes time.” [68:16]

• Cultural Gatekeeping & Legacy Media Decline
  • The hosts recall streaming Oscar watch parties and how legacy media now pleads for coverage as public interest wanes.
  • Gerald:

    "We used to do an Oscar stream every year... then no one cared anymore. The crossover was...There's nothing notable about this film. Nothing. That's when I stopped." [63:30]

---

3. Diversity Quotas and Representation Arguments

• Academy Awards Quotas Explained
  • Two out of four categories must be satisfied for eligibility: on-screen representation, creative leadership, industry access, or audience development.
  • The hosts list prior black cultural successes as examples that these quotas weren't necessary for success, but now have unintended side effects: replacing accuracy and alienating core audiences.
• Comparisons & Satire
  • The “chocolate chip cookie” analogy satirizes racial representation arguments in films, referencing a critique of Star Wars as “too white.”
  • Elliot (sarcastically):

    "I want my cookie to have all the chocolate chips. I want it to be almost all chocolate chip. Barely a cookie. I just maybe don't want my daughter to marry one." [46:23]

---

4. Remigration: Political Messaging and Critique

• Trump, Remigration & “Replacement Theory”
  • The show tackles Trump's recently floated “remigration” policy: returning migrants to their home countries, even if some have legal status attained through fraud.
  • They explain "remigration" goes beyond deportation to denaturalizing legal residents (not full citizens) and review heavy criticism from the left labeling the policy as “white nationalist” or “code for ethnic expulsion.”
  • The hosts push back, claiming demographic change is "statistical reality," not “conspiracy theory,” and that intent does not matter—the result is cultural change.
  • Gerald:

    “You can’t prove there’s a cabal...Intent doesn’t matter...It is happening. That’s a statistical reality.” [21:09]

• Credits, Blame & Political Process
  • The hosts emphasize distinguishing between what falls under executive, congressional, and judicial authority regarding immigration policies.
  • Gerald:

    "Give credit where it's due and also place the blame on where it is deserved. That's a big part of these conversations right now." [35:50]

---

5. Left, Right, and Policy in Society

• Homelessness, Drug Use, and Political Worldviews
  • The show lampoons Karen Bass for focusing on dental needs of the homeless instead of addiction itself.
  • The segment ridicules leftist approaches as “treating symptoms instead of root causes,” alleging an unwillingness to make moral judgments.
  • Gerald:

    “The left says, yeah, the problem is...they have bad teeth. As opposed to the problem being the meth.” [09:18]

  • Satirical proposals fly: “Give all the homeless people cocaine so they'll clean the place.” [09:48]
• Education Funding
  • Crowder briefly addresses school funding, arguing schools “should get less because they can't do basic math.” [03:29] This sets the tone for skepticism toward government solutions and more funding for failed policies.

---

Memorable Moments, Satire, and Banter

• “Butt Santa” Running Joke
  The “butt Santa” gag, a recurring play on co-host Gerald’s physique and imagined Santa-like exploits, keeps the tone irreverent.

  "He goes up, it's going to be covered in coal soot." [39:38]

• Cultural Satire and Parody
  Skits and voices lampoon NPR, Hollywood rhetoric, and classic film tropes, heightening the political comedy.

Conclusion: Episode Takeaways

The episode delivers a highly critical and satirical analysis of the Hollywood backlash against those resisting “woke” adaptations, specifically Nolan’s Odyssey, while drawing links to wider political and cultural controversies on immigration, representation, and institutional transformation in the U.S. The Louder with Crowder team reinforces the idea that resistance to forced diversity is rooted not in bigotry but in a desire for authenticity and agency. They argue that cultural gatekeepers use institutional and policy levers to push ideological outcomes, often at odds with the preferences of ordinary audiences and citizens.

The crap washing of the Odyssey because it's Oscar bait. The White House right now is, is pushing this idea of remigration. It's a term they're using. The critics are saying this is white supremacy.

[Dad of Six]

Sa.

[Gerald]

I just found out something. Before the show, after run through, I made a request.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

And it's so good. But I have to. You gotta wait. I have to save it.

[Josh]

Yes.

[Gerald]

I don't want to spoil it for you because I know we're gonna be talking about stuff like political stuff. Like it. But I'm really excited about the Odyssey segment because.

[Josh]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Gotta move on.

[Gerald]

They're rewriting it from a feminist perspective and I asked for a.

[Elliot]

Come on. Save it, save it, save it.

[Gerald]

Wait, wait. Say it.

[Elliot]

No, no. I disagree with Gerald.

[Gerald]

Say it. It's the first time ever in recorded literature history that a man told a woman to shut up. Based I just said, guys, can we find something chauvinistic or misogynistic in the Odyssey? And then right before I hear Lane goes, I found it was the first time in recorded history where a man told a woman to shut up in literature. I was like, wow. You. You actually really over delivered.

[Josh]

Great.

[Gerald]

I don't think I could have thought of better Matt Damon's Genghis Genghis Khan. Take a back seat. Cap. Morgan, how are you?

[Josh]

Fantastic. You're doing very well. I would ask, but I can see the smile.

[Gerald]

I just. I just. Every now and then you're like, okay, I bet you there's probably a counter to this. You're like, you know what I suspect? And then you. It hits you in the face. You're like, oh, my God, this is perfect. I never knew I could be so happy.

[Josh]

That's like Christmas morning for you.

[Gerald]

Like, I've told you, like, if ever, you know, and if ever you find me, like, hanging, you know, lighting myself on fire, it's not because of something dramatic. It'll be because just something, like, made me snap. Like, ah, you know, this thing, this pool pump isn't working, whatever it is. It'd be the same thing. If you find out that, like, I die in bliss. It's not going to be like, although, of course, like, holding my child. The things that matter.

[Josh]

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Gerald]

Or, you know, finding God. It's going to be. Well, they want to make this a feminist movie, but in the Odyssey, it's the first time ever in recorded history where a man told a woman to shut her mouth. And if someone could die of happiness, that's me right now. Thursday, May 21, at Hyenas Comedy Club in Dallas, Texas. Not Firestein on X. How are you, sir?

[Elliot]

I'm good, I'm good. I'm excited for the feminist version of Reservoir Dogs.

[Gerald]

Yes, exactly right.

[Elliot]

Or any Tarantino movie.

[Gerald]

I know. It's just none of this works. The left keeps trying to push it. And remember this, when people say, hey, it's all the same. Remember what we had to live through with the WOKE crap coming out of Hollywood? And it's a lot better now. It's not perfect, but peak would have been 2019. I'd say probably 2020.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

Would you say that Noodles. That was on Star wars, right? All that stuff. You used to like it. I never did, but then it all got ruined.

[Elliot]

When it got ruined?

[Gerald]

Is that what you're asking, woke, would you say in Hollywood, like, 2020? Probably 2016, I'd say is when it really started.

[Elliot]

2016 is when the Academy Awards introduced representation requirements. It was definitely in that area. 2020. 2020. Yeah. I think probably peak, when they started telling us you're. You're canceling and you can't be paid if you don't wear a mask.

[Josh]

Right.

[Gerald]

But there was also about the time cuties and dear white people, I think about that time. All right, guys, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm getting off track. I'm just so happy.

[Josh]

I'm so happy.

[Gerald]

And it's hard for me to focus when I'm I focus when I'm mad. So. Okay, all right, this is the perfect one. Karen Bass. Okay, I'm back in the zone. The comment that she makes about dental hygiene in this clip perfectly encapsulates the different worldview of the left.

[Karen Bass]

How many people who are unhoused that you meet have no teeth at all? They don't have teeth. Why? Because meth rots your teeth. You can't succeed without teeth or with meth. There needs to be comprehensive health care provided to people.

[Gerald]

Uh huh. So this is the difference. And it seems like a small thing. It's not. It's not. We go, all right, and Spencer Pratt campaigning, you know, for mayor, he's like, hey, people either need to be rehabilitated, we give them help, or. Or they have to go, they will be imprisoned. Help or prison. You can't just continue to be a drug addict on the street and affect everybody else. So conservatives go, all right, we think we see a problem. The left says, yeah, and the problem is like, that they have bad teeth. As opposed to the problem being the meth.

[Elliot]

Well, no, that's not a problem. They gotta do something all day. You know, they get bored and you know, yeah, yeah, they have extra cash, they have extra copper. They found.

[Gerald]

Because they can't make a moral judgment. That's why saying you guys shouldn't be able. When the left says, hey, don't tell me we believe in freedom. What they really mean is degeneracy. Hey, I'm free to do meth. All right, fine, then I guess you deal with it. And you have to pay for my dental. What is it? What do you want, a 401k plan for crack? What is this?

[Josh]

Give all the homeless people cocaine so they'll clean the place.

[Gerald]

Stay out of my bedroom. All right, fine. And I want more per capita funding for entirely preventable disease like AIDS than any other. Screw kids with diabetes and women with breast cancer. What? I don't want to be in your bedroom. You want me, you want my needles. What are you talking about?

[Elliot]

That reminds me, Gerald, I would like to request dental insurance.

[Gerald]

Ah, we have and it's just not good. No, now there's a writer for meth

[Josh]

that we didn't buy.

[Gerald]

It doesn't cover that.

[Elliot]

I'll do as much meth as you need me to.

[Gerald]

Gerald, here's the thing, right? They want to pay for this. This is actually their platform. Here's the thing. If you are young and you haven't, I still highly recommend that you get life insurance. It's better if you can do it when you're young, because you can get better rates. So apply for life insurance. And when you go through the questionnaire, list down. Primary hobbies, Meth.

[Josh]

No, don't.

[Gerald]

And just tell me if you're covered. No. So to streamline the teeth replacements, they are issuing all addicts dentures molded from Governor Newsom's teeth. Oh, hey.

[Dad of Six]

No.

[Trump Supporter]

Hey.

[Elliot]

At least the streets will be beautiful during the day.

[Gerald]

Yes, that's exactly right. Just maybe. Which is more than I can say for Alaska.

[Josh]

Problem solved.

[Elliot]

Gross. They don't even have day.

[Gerald]

Sometimes 30 days of night. 30 days of meth. Could you imagine that? Hey, if the sun doesn't come up, the meth heads stay out. Could I imagine 30 days?

[Elliot]

Can I imagine 30 days of meth? You know where I used to live in, right? I mean, I couldn't get the police to evacuate a guy who was doing meth right outside my house.

[Gerald]

That's true. I mean, that's just a diddy freak off. Now, the right one is. Here's the crazy. Yeah, well, the right one is math. What's that? A multimodal

[Elliot]

meth daily.

[Gerald]

Meth daily. Let me just play that clip again. Just play it again. This. It seems like a small thing. This is the difference I want you to keep in your. In your mind. The left saying, hey, hands off my. Whatever. Bedroom my wiener. Hey, hands off my uterus. Hey. I believe in the right to choose. They mean the right to choose degeneracy and the right to you funding the consequences of said degenerate. It's always okay, the choice they want. They don't want you to be able to choose to drive an suv. They don't want you to be able to choose, for example, the neighborhood you live in or what that looks like. They don't want you to be able to choose which school your child goes to. To be clear, they want that. They want to be able to choose degeneracy for themselves, and you have to fund the consequences. Watch her make the case.

[Karen Bass]

How many people who are unhoused that you meet have no teeth at all? They don't have teeth.

[Gerald]

Why?

[Karen Bass]

Because meth rots your teeth. You can't succeed without teeth. So there needs to be comprehensive health care provided to people.

[Gerald]

Also, by the way, I know a very successful biochemist without teeth. Old, old toothless biochemist. Jim, we call him.

[Elliot]

Yeah, yeah. He's a quiet guy.

[Gerald]

He is. Yeah.

[Elliot]

Not a lot of chatter from that guy. I hope she gets bitten by one of these tweakers she'll get gummed. New set of dentures.

[Josh]

There's only two mallets.

[Elliot]

No, I'm saying I hope she provides these new dentures and then one of them just takes a chunk out of her hand.

[Gerald]

You know who's advising her? Yukon Cornelius.

[Dad of Six]

She messaged a mighty humble bubble.

[Gerald]

No, dude, she.

[Elliot]

She totally thinks that's gonna fly with everybody.

[Trump Supporter]

Teeth.

[Gerald]

That's the problem.

[Josh]

That's what's keeping me.

[Gerald]

So let me get this. Yeah, let me get this clear. Here's a solution. All right? Kids are dumb. Let's throw more money in schools. It doesn't work. Homeless people are here. Okay? Let's pay for houses. They're doing all the drugs. Let's pay for Narcan and vending machines that are immediately raided. Their teeth are bad because they're dumb and they trashed their house and they did all the math. Let's pay for their teeth. What are you, a fascist? Here's the recent poll.

[Elliot]

That's a famous Nazi policy.

[Gerald]

There will be no teeth for the drug addicts. Actually, he probably was. By the way. I know that's the sort of the super juice that we've been giving you when we put you in the submarines to get you all hopped up. Turns out there may be some side effects. So I'm introducing the new Gestapo Dental. Unfortunately, it's with United and they have some problems. Oh, I said Etna. Etna. So, Brass, your premiums will go up. It's just this.

[Elliot]

How will they go up, Gerald? Show us again.

[Gerald]

We're not going to show you again. This is the world they live in. And by the way, she's only leading Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles by 8%. That's according to Emerson. Emerson College polling. We make those. Check the link in the description. We make those references available. We always choose the ones that are as unbiased as we can find. Find. 11:00am Eastern is when we stream. So he has a good chance. And I think he's going to have a better chance if she keeps campaigning like this.

[Elliot]

If she just keeps talking. Dude, I think during. During Rumble, the premium segment, Mug Club, something. We should show that ad she made or the union made the ad.

[Gerald]

The union. Well, the problem is he's been putting out like, a. I know. Ads. They're not that far from the attack ads.

[Elliot]

No, that's what's crazy about it is like. Well, this looks like Spencer Pratt put it out like. And it's not.

[Gerald]

Yeah, one of the. Spencer Pratt doesn't want to pay for more housing for the unhoused. He says they need help or to be in prison. Los Angeles is on the right track. We don't need Spencer. Are you shitting me?

[Elliot]

Wildfires are a real issue here.

[Gerald]

Concrete trees. Yeah, exactly. It'd be like someone going, hands off our Detroit.

[Josh]

It's fine like it is.

[Gerald]

We've got it right. We don't need any change. All right. Speaking of change, look, I want to be clear about this next thing because, you know, I had that conversation debate with Nick Fuentes earlier this week and we had some strong disagreements. I think it was productive. I think people need to have conversations also. If you don't show up for debate, guess what? You lose by default. He's willing to show up and I respect that. I will say this. We're about to get to this point here. There's this new idea or sort of concept being pushed. It's not new, but with this administration of remigration, this wouldn't be in the cultural lexicon if this administration had not put it out there. That means they've put themselves on the hook. And if they don't follow through, well, the critics have a point. And I'm not talking about the left. They'll always hate it. Those on the right will have a point. So before coming into office, you know, President Trump promised mass deportations, the biggest that the country has ever seen. We'll get to how and to what degree he's delivered on that.

[Trump Supporter]

All illegal entry will immediately be halted. And we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. And on day one, we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. We are going to start the largest mass deportation in the history of our country because we have no choice. It's not sustainable. And we are going to start with violent criminals. Here's all we're going to do. It's going to be called a Trump mass deportation because we have no choice. We have no choice.

[Gerald]

Okay. That was one of the primary issues on which people were voting. Yeah. The economy and immigration. Those were the top two consistently across all the polls, including the leftist ones. By the way, the results that we have so far, because some people say there's no difference, about 675,000 deportations and then an estimate anywhere from 2 to 2.2 million illegal aliens have self deported. So if you want to use the low end, we're definitely around a million. If you want to use the high end, we could be closer to three million. Let's split it call it one and a half, two million. That would be a very reasonable estimate to make the first term of President Trump Over 2 million, about 2.1 million. These aren't the numbers that we want. Stark contrast, in my opinion, to 10 to 20 million illegal aliens who flooded the border in a span of three and a half years.

[Josh]

It's that first part of the promise that he said, we're gonna seal up the border. And deportations. Yes. First part on that.

[Gerald]

First part. First part delivered. Yes, done. People will say by executive order. Sure.

[Josh]

Because the rest is in progress.

[Gerald]

You can do that. The rest has to go through. And we'll go through executive authority, congressional authority, judicial authority. Well, Schoolhouse Rock this a little bit later on literally Tuesday, the White House on X, they put out a graphic of Trump with these words. It has scratched replacement migration, re migration. Now, the post was in addition to the US Rejection to be clear, of the UN Global Compact on Migration. Let me read this for you. It says the United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies. Let's first describe for you links in the description. 11:00am Eastern Every day we stream or weekdays what remigration is. According to Merriam Webster, it's the act of returning to one's original or previous home after a migration. So how is this different from deportation? Well, it includes denaturalizing and deporting people who, who've gained some sort of legal status here in this country. In almost all cases, that's usually legal residents, not American citizens. To be clear, someone who's become a naturalized citizen, they are almost completely immune, barring some kind of fraud, because if someone gained citizenship through fraudulent means, that would still apply. Does that make sense? And by the way, I think that's fair. Now here is the domestic extremism correspondent from NPR. So NPR's domestic extremism correspondent is Odit Yousef Sound it? Yeah. The idea is often attributed to a French novelist who became known as the originator of the great replacement conspiracy theory. I don't want to do this voice the whole time, which is this baseless claim that white Christian Europeans are being systematically replaced by immigrants in an attempt to dilute European or Western Western cultures. And she referred to Jean Raspe, the author of Camp of the Saints. I know there's a way to say that in English. I don't know how to say it. So I just said, is it Raspail? How would you say it in English? Raspail. Anytime I have to get to a word that has a French origin in Romance languages, I'm always going to pronounce it the French Canadian way. And so I know it's proper, but you'll get corrected. So the camp of the saints. Let me address one thing here. Systematically replaced by immigrant. I don't care about the intent. Now, I do believe that there is intent. Why? Because they've said it. Not all, though. Many leftist leaders have said, yeah, you need to change these demographics. For example, you saw that ad in Germany where they were having a threesome with an African, I believe, migrant or Middle Eastern. You saw those ads from Denmark where they said you actually shouldn't marry or pop or procreate with people of your own race if you're black, if that's racist, if you're white.

[Elliot]

If only if you're white.

[Gerald]

Yes. So there are plenty of people who have said you need to change the racial demographics because these nations are too white. That's some of them. You can't prove that there's a cabal and that all of the people involved are pushing this proactively. I don't care. Intent doesn't matter. Yeah, it is happening. That's a statistical reality. So let's get off the. You're saying replacement theory, which is a white supremacy. You know what? No, I'm just saying that numbers are shifting and white people are being replaced. White percentage, white Christian percentage going down. Islamic migrant, African migrants, non white Anglo Saxon migrants going up. In some countries. It's already hit a tipping point. That is a statistical reality. Just like you don't need to make the racial argument primarily or the intent of crime. Just point to crime statistics. These are what they are. Do not blame me. Remigration, to be clear, has been popularized in the EU right now by the AfD in Germany. Yeah, I know how that is. Language isn't their fault. Seems similar.

[Elliot]

I mean, he could have had less passion than this guy.

[Gerald]

And that one guy didn't have to film it through a cheesecloth. Now, I will film this from the sauna. Why do you just wipe the lens? So here are the responses to President Trump, of course, from the left. The old he's a Nazi. The January 6th committee staffer Tom Jocelyn wrote, re migration is a white nationalist idea. Immigrants of color voluntarily leave America for their native countries. Making America whiter. That the State Department and White House are openly promoting it is an obvious tell, as if another one was needed about the Trump regime's goal. Professor Michael Fayola wrote, your regular reminder that Remigration is far right code for the forced expulsion of ethnic undesirables in order to, quote, purify the nation. White House communications divisions showing their white nationalist stripes. Then there's this guy, Joshua Reed. Eagle wrote, let's be clear about what this means. The White House is declaring war on any American who isn't white. This isn't about legal status. It's about ethnicity. If you're non white and still backing by the start, sorry, still backing the gop, you need to understand exactly what your party has planned for your life. To be clear, he's not a Nazi. We all know that. He's just done with the forced migration and wants them to go home. It's over. Go home.

[Dad of Six]

Go.

[Gerald]

You have to watch till after the credits. Now, here's the thing. Let's just switch it. Let's just switch it. Yeah, because the left has actually done it. Actually, we have no culture. These other cultures are beautiful. These other countries have better cultures. Hashtag insert here. So white. Which means they have a problem with whiteness. We didn't say hashtag OscarsSoWhite. Hashtag news. So white. Whatever it was hashtag Twitter. So white back then, before it was X. For the uninitiated, you guys brought it up. You have made the declarative judgment that things are too white and through a matter of policy have decided to. To unwhiten them. You've done it with Europe, you've done it with films, you've done it with committees, you've done it with board of directors, and you have based it solely on race. Now, I think there is a racial component to it because race in many cases is shorthand for incompatible culture, you know, like Indians and H1BS. You made it exclusively about race, as seen by your commercials across Europe telling white people to not have sex with each other because, my God, it might create more white people. Here's the criticism from those on the right that President Trump won't deliver. Nick Fuentes wrote, you know, if Trump isn't going to do remigration, who's going to do it? D. Vance. It's not that they can't do it. They won't. That's what he said. By the way, he has very large hands. Nick Fuente.

[Elliot]

Yeah, they're big old.

[Gerald]

I would love to see if he could palm a basketball. The blogger Ethan Levins wrote, you say this and then deport less people than Obama. Now, here's my problem with that. And I discussed this. Anyone who says that we did a segment when that talking Point made the rounds. Yeah, that is a leftist talking point. And they only use it when convenient because they don't really want to say that Barack Obama deported illegal aliens, but they'll use it to try and sow mistrust amongst conservatives. It's not true. And anyone using that point is taking the Democrat talking points wholesale. It's not true. About 74% of the deportations under Obama, they were just non judicial returns like turnarounds at the border. To be clear. So only about 1.4 million were actually deported, not 5.6. Remember, 2.8 million illegal aliens came in under Obama. At least the numbers for Biden are even worse. So to say there's no difference is not true. And then to say that Barack Obama deported more is not true. It was net positive illegal immigration under Barack Obama, net negative total migration under Donald Trump. Anyone who tells you Obama deported more is lying to you or misinformed. Check the reference link in the description. 11:00am we provide them every single day, a whole bibliography. So this is the other thing that is very important. And then I'll get to where critics have a point. But I see a lot of critics of the Trump administration wrongfully or deliberately, dishonestly, I don't know. The net result is the same. They just blend everything together. They'll blame Donald Trump, President Trump for things that are not under the executive purview, while not giving him credit for doing things that he can do under the executive purview. In other words, if Democrats block something in the House and some Republicans, Donald Trump gets blamed. If he does something without their permission through executive order, they say, well, that's not going to stick. I've not heard these critics give him credit for anything, meaning the border is sealed, he gets no credit. Why? Well, because that could just be undone as long as there isn't a wall. Okay, but he's also pushed for funding for a wall and that's been blocked in several instances by all Democrats and some Republicans. And right now it's being built. Does he get credit for that? No, he does not. H1BS for example, 87% reduction in new overseas or new. They use the term overseas new outside of America. H1B is coming. 87% down they go. Yeah, but we still hit the cap. Well, that's because it will require an act of Congress to deal with the H1BS who are here and are extending them. So he doesn't get credit for the executive order and then he gets blame for the Democrats, those that would have the congressional authority so where does he get credit for any. Oh, there are only two genders. Well, that's just executive order. That'll be undone. Okay. But it actually is used as a basis to challenge a lot of these sort of Title 9 violations. In other words, it gives some standing. Yeah, yeah, but it'll be undone. All right, so let's hand power over to the Democrats who will pack the courts and undo all of it. We need to recognize and understand the difference in executive authority, in congressional authority, and of course, judicial authority. So you know what? Let's Schoolhouse Rock this so we understand where there can be blame at the feet of President Donald Trump and where there can be blame placed at the feet of 100% of Democrats and a notable but small percentage of Republicans. So let's start with this. What falls under executive authority? So that's fun. As it relates to remigration, deporting illegals, and denaturalizing, specifically those who've committed fraud. You know, like Ilhan Omar, who obtained status through banging her brother. Oh, the President can do that.

[Elliot]

She didn't. She didn't abstain status by banging her brother. She obtained status by committing herself under God to her brother.

[Gerald]

Yes, a biblical incestuous covenant. It was a friend's benefit, or as many refer to it, Islam now. So why? Because. Same reason that President Trump can do something for H1BS coming into the country that's under executive authority as broad powers.

[Josh]

Right.

[Gerald]

Because it's an issue of national security. Right. The president needs to be able to act quickly in issues of national security. That's why the term commander in chief is used. If there's a threat and a porous border, guess what? He can shut it down. Same thing with fraudsters. So in other words, if it's fraud, this person had no business being here anyway. Effectively, someone who is a legal resident but obtained it through fraud is the equivalent to an illegal alien. Because it's not real.

[Josh]

Yeah. Get rid of them immediately.

[Gerald]

Gone. That would be termed denaturalization, but it's not. So that's the presidential authority, which he'll be doing. Here's what would require congressional authority. So they would need to expand grounds for denaturalization beyond fraud. They would need to increase who can be removed. Like all legal non citizens who commit a crime, fail a civic test, are in any public assistance.

[Josh]

That's a huge one right there. Massive.

[Gerald]

I would love to see it done. That can't just be done by the president. Meaning, hey, you're here, you're a legal resident, but you committed a crime. Also, you're a net drain. You're not contributing. You're taking snap, ebt, whatever it is, any of these social safety nets, depending on the state, depending on the city. So because you're doing that, we are now revoking your legal status. I think we should do that. Why? Because someone who was not born here is not entitled to any type of citizenship or residency if they are only here to take, and certainly not if they are here to hurt. How do you know if they're here to take? Well, are they literally taking finances? And are they trying to be compatible? Are they assimilating? That's a basic civic test. If they commit a crime, of course, gone. They need to. Or the congressional authority will be required to allow the denaturalization of anchor babies. Right. Ending this sort of chain migration that we've seen. They need to repeal or narrow the TPS asylum laws. Congressional authority would be needed to increase penalties, criminal penalties for anyone who helps illegals. So, for example, perfect kind of one to one with H1BS, since new people are coming in, right? People who are applying to come in. The President can say, all right, we can increase the vetting and investigations into companies, into corporations and employers, because they could be abetting something that's a risk to national security, people, people who are already here. The criminal penalties would need to be enacted through congressional authority to any corporations who help illegals. That's where you probably won't see it done, because of the lobbying. Of course, they also would be needed to impeach lower court judges, things like that, allocate more funds, as you well know. Which brings us to the third issue. So you have executive authority, congressional authority, and what's the third branch, boys and girls? Judicial authority. I've lost enthusiasm.

[Elliot]

Come on, don't quit on a snap.

[Gerald]

We can shorten, pardon it. We need, obviously, the Supreme Court. We need them to properly interpret the Constitution, primarily end birthright citizenship. And by that I mean end the warping therein and return it to its original intention. And of course, we need to quickly overturn activist nationwide injunctions. Yes, this is where the Trump administration better start doing some stuff.

[Josh]

Yeah, absolutely. And you have to get rid of those judges that are standing in the way. Most of the time when President Trump tries to do something, you see activist judges standing the way, delaying things, pushing it off until it ends up at the Supreme Court. And so he isn't able to move nearly as quickly. So you have to do that. And then some of the things that you listed in the congressional authority, not just for getting people out, but for allowing people in.

[Gerald]

Right.

[Josh]

If you are going to come to this country, you still have to do those three things. Right. You have to pass a civics test. You need to make sure that you're not going to be on government assistance. I don't know why that is even a thought in anybody's mind that that would be a good thing. Some of the numbers that I saw, and I won't quote them because I'll get them wrong, but they were between, say, 60 and 90% of these populations from places like Haiti that are on government assistant. Places like Somalia.

[Gerald]

Right.

[Josh]

That is insane to me. All of those people, literally. And I'll give you the most compassionate version. You've got one year starting today. If in one year you're not off of all of it, you're gone.

[Gerald]

Yep.

[Josh]

And maybe that's too much. Maybe it should be six months, maybe there's no notice, but at the very least, one year, you're off of it or gone.

[Gerald]

And then we garnish your wages with extra taxes to pay it back. You got to pay it back.

[Josh]

Boxer that gave it back after he fought the fight. I don't know.

[Elliot]

That is pretty compassionate. And they would still call you, you know, a jerk, right? I would. That would be even worse. You know, it'd be cheaper to give them all the services in their own country.

[Gerald]

Right. They're cheaper over there. Yeah.

[Elliot]

If you're. If you're in Haiti and you're here taking Medicaid, you're taking ebt, you're taking housing assistance, all three of those things would be cheaper to provide for you in Haiti.

[Gerald]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Dirt cookies are cheap.

[Elliot]

And you go back to your homeland and I don't have to hear about how great it is. I don't have to see your stupid flag in your dash.

[Gerald]

I don't have to see Conan o' Brien swimming in a bay.

[Elliot]

He might have a better bay to

[Gerald]

swim in over in Haiti. Hey, all cultures are equal. So, yeah, we definitely need to do this. We need to recognize the difference between executive authority, congressional authority, judicial authority, and give credit where it's due and also place the blame on where it is deserved.

[Josh]

Right.

[Gerald]

That's a big part of these conversations right now. And there are a lot of commentators who are hoping that you are too uninformed to be able to call them on it. Now, I want to be clear about this, the starting point for this conversation, because I bet you this is going to become quite a controversy. The whole re Migration conversation. Yeah, I'm here for it. By the way. I've supported this idea. I've talked about it in the past. We've talked about birthright citizenship quite a bit. It hasn't been talked about in the mainstream that much. It will be now. So to the Trump administration, everyone therein, if you bring it up and you did re migration, if you make promises and then don't deliver on it, this wouldn't exist. We wouldn't be talking about it if you didn't get our hopes up. If you don't deliver. Nick Fuentes has a point. Yes. And all people like him have a point. So we're going to be watching the follow through on this and if there is none, you guys get what you deserve.

[Josh]

Yes.

[Gerald]

This would be a big misstep. This could either be a huge shift for our country in the right direction. Please do. Or a PR stunt, which I will never forget and neither will your voters.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

Is that fair?

[Josh]

It is. It's extremely fair. This very much smells like the Epstein Binder release. This better not be 2.0 of that because that was a huge PR blunder where people wanted it out there, Right. You didn't have to do it that way.

[Elliot]

Exactly the same thing. JFK files, MK Ultra files. Those just got.

[Gerald]

Right.

[Elliot]

Taken from Tulsi Gabbard.

[Gerald]

And those. Those would be relatively inconsequential in comparison to this remigration. If you follow through is a huge arrow in your quiver to save the direction of this country. Huge. You brought it up, we said. Yeah. Now you gotta deliver. And you, on an individual level, we always try and give you solutions. Should pony up to secure your own future financial freedom.

[Elliot]

Top of the morning,

[Gerald]

Josh.

[Josh]

Were those gunshots?

[Elliot]

Oh, hey, Gerald. Yeah, just protecting my investments, you know.

[Gerald]

From who?

Hey. Hey, Josh, really quickly. Guy from corporate is coming over later on today. Short guy, green jacket. Just don't want you to be off putting. Okay, thanks. Gotta go.

[Gerald]

To answer two questions. Yes, we do in fact have a Christmas room in his studio. True. It is the writers room office also. Yeah. I was like, hey, you know what? Gerald has been doing the basic training. He's got. He's got some guns on there.

[Elliot]

Yeah. He's got his white beard. He's looking like a buff Santa.

[Gerald]

Yes. Or butt Santa.

[Elliot]

Yeah. Except he doesn't go down your chimney.

[Gerald]

He goes up, it's going to be covered in coal soot.

[Elliot]

He'll lick your candy cane.

[Gerald]

The carrots, not for the reindeer.

[Elliot]

Which one do you think he is? Dancer or Prancer?

[Gerald]

I think he's vixen. Climb up that butt.

[Josh]

That was not me.

[Gerald]

No, no, you look, you look. You look good.

[Josh]

Thank you very much.

[Gerald]

And by the way, for people who don't know, that's just. That's just really lifting twice a week.

[Josh]

It's very basic.

[Gerald]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh]

Twice a week, maybe 40 minutes.

[Gerald]

You just do.

[Elliot]

Gerald's got good genes.

[Gerald]

Squats, pressing in a row.

[Josh]

Yeah. Bent rose. It's called Ben Rose.

[Gerald]

Yeah, There you go.

[Elliot]

Gerald is like Sydney Sweeney. He's got good genes.

[Josh]

Yeah. Wait, what?

[Gerald]

And also like Sweeney, he's. He's not a Democrat because he's not retarded.

[Elliot]

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I heard about that.

[Gerald]

Yeah.

[Elliot]

You didn't start a business just to keep the lights on. You're here to sell more today than yesterday. You're here to win. Lucky for you, Shopify built the best converting checkout on the planet. Like the just one tapping ridiculously fast acting, sky high sales stacking champion of checkouts. That's the good stuff right there. So if your business is in it to win it, win with Shopify. Start your free trial [e-mail] win.

[Gerald]

Speaking of. Hey, Odyssey. Odyssey movie. You guys asked me to watch the teaser trailer. Was it last week? I don't know.

[Josh]

Something like that.

[Gerald]

It's all a life hating blur. So let's go. You know. I know. And people, especially now they're talking about AI taking over the entertainment industry. And remember Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were on Joe Rogan show saying like they just can't write it. They just don't have any soul. By the way, have you watched Bright on Netflix? It's like, hey, if you guys don't want to be replaced by AI then. I think most people, when you're thinking films, you want quality writing, you want compelling storylines or plots, you want some casting, especially if you're talking about a historical picture that's somewhat accurate. And mostly you want to be entertained. You want to be able to escape. Right? You let me know. Comment below. Is that primarily what you want out of a film, whether it's independent, big budget?

[Elliot]

I saw a woman say, hold on a second.

[Gerald]

Oh, because I want to hear what they want. Oh, and then I do hold that thought. Let's see. Because I want to hear. It's about the people. You, the people. Because you, the people. If that's what you want, you're all bigoted idiot losers. It seems that some of the fan

[Elliot]

base from this influential fan base have decided to attack Moses Ingram online and send her the most horrendous racist DMs. And I heard some of them this morning and it just broke my heart.

[Monday.com Advertiser]

And I just wanted to address a couple of things that sort of keep coming up in the comments amongst the fans. First, I wanted to apologize to the fans that I did not anatomically match the Fay Valentine character.

[Gerald]

You think she's Asian enough for Lane

[Monday.com Advertiser]

foot, double sized breasts, 2 inch waist? You know, they looked everywhere for that woman and they couldn't find her. It's kind of weird.

[Gerald]

I could.

[Monday.com Advertiser]

Short ass.

[Gerald]

Why do we have to like, you

[Monday.com Advertiser]

know, hit it over the head that it's like a female series or whatever?

[Elliot]

I think that we progressed a lot over the years and then I think we realized what choice of backgrounds that that progression. It's like a Jimmy Kimmel set.

[Josh]

It's like a floating head.

[Gerald]

Oh, it's a treatment of symptoms. I think we see now that the problem is systemic.

[Monday.com Advertiser]

The heroes of Sony Pictures Charlie's Angels reboot may have taken down the bad guys, but the Elizabeth Banks directed movie failed to take down the box office. As she sees it, men will naturally show up more for comic book movies starring women than they would for female led films like the Charlie's Angels reboot.

[Dad of Six]

Pause.

[Monday.com Advertiser]

The former are still,

[Gerald]

well, actually finished because the former. What do they argue within a male focused genre? Pause. No, it's not because. It's not because they're still in a male focused genre. Look, look, let me be clear as to why that is the case. We can suspend disbelief that a woman could beat up a bunch of guys if and only if she's superhuman. Right? That's it. Charlie's Angels. No Atomic bombshell. No. The lady born identity, Whatever.

[Elliot]

No.

[Gerald]

Do you know why? I'll explain to you why. Have you ever had a woman? It could be your daughter, it could be your significant other. Have you ever had one of them choke and have you ever had to perform Heimlich or like, I went through that. I went through that and I was concerned that my hand would go through said woman. It was like bird bones. It is not even close. Women professional athletes, we could bring this up. Clarissa Shields. This was just going viral, I believe, about a month ago, best female boxer who's ever lived. Talked about how I ain't been dropped from body shots. I only been dropped. I beat all my men in sparring. And then you see some amateur boxer just clip her and she goes down like Trudeau. It's one of those things where we can go along with superpowers or lightsaber or Jedi. It's completely unbelievable and it's silly. And so men, instead of being sexist, chauvinistic, they just go, well, I don't want to go see that movie. Why? Because it's silly. It's that simple. Let's finish this.

[Monday.com Advertiser]

Stated, they'll go and see a comic book movie with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, because that's a male genre.

[Gerald]

Let me tell you. Star wars always had the vibe of being in the most whitest elite space. The franchise is so white that it's like a black person existing in that was something. And you can always tell it's something when some Star wars fans try to say, well, you know, we had Lando Calvisian and had Samuel L. Jackson. It's like telling me how many cookie chips are on the cookie dough. I'm like, bro, they just scattered that in there. So I know that I have a tendency to take things too seriously or literally, but I went through that analogy and did some research. Turns out there have been lawsuits. So depending on the brand of chocolate chip cookie, you are actually looking at anywhere from 15 to 20 something percent by volume of the total cookie being chocolate chips. So I will tell you, considering that they make up about 13% of the population, his analogy is actually apt and it would be appropriate. In other words, you make up the percentage of the cookie that you make up up, give or take a few percentage points, the population. It wouldn't make sense to have an American cookie or to have a British Republic cookie. I get it that it's in Star wars with, you know, all double chocolate, double triple chocolate. It wouldn't make sense. The chocolate chip cookie Is a good analogy. Also, it's their favorite part. You're welcome.

[Elliot]

Yeah. I love the chocolate chips in the cookie, dude.

[Gerald]

Yeah, I want.

[Elliot]

Actually, I want my cookie to have all the chocolate chips. I want it to be almost all chocolate chip. Barely a cookie. I just maybe don't want my daughter to marry one.

[Gerald]

Right? Yes, I want.

[Elliot]

I'm kidding. That's not a real belief of mine. I don't care.

[Gerald]

There's nothing wrong with that. I don't want anyone. I don't want anyone to marry a person.

[Josh]

Josh, we agree.

[Gerald]

I don't want anyone to marry any form of foodstuffs. But I do want.

[Elliot]

If she's in with a guy named Chocolate Chunk, I'm gonna go. Hey, maybe Jamal was better. You know, Chocolate Chunk's a weird name.

[Gerald]

And I want my second batch and third batch of chocolate chip cookies to look very close to my first batch of chocolate chip cookies.

[Elliot]

Oops.

[Gerald]

All chunks. Because I just. I want to know that it's a chocolate chip cookie.

[Elliot]

You know what?

[Gerald]

Let's just. Let's just all find common ground. Let's all find common ground and agree that the enemies in Star wars are caricaturely, caricaturelessly, cartoonishly, racistly Japanese. Close the blast off. That will hold them. They are still coming through.

[Dad of Six]

This is impossible. Our blockade is a hordal illegal.

[Elliot]

Dude, that movie was.

[Gerald]

There was them.

[Dad of Six]

You better hope so, because we are physically weak and small in stature.

[Gerald]

They're literally sushi. How is that not racist? It's worse than the older ones.

[Elliot]

Jar Jar Binks and his whole Gungan crew were definitely. They were Jamaicans or something with that JP Morgan CEO or whatever she was

[Gerald]

would have said about them.

[Elliot]

Yeah, fish heads.

[Gerald]

I was actually thinking about JP Morgan, the guy who like, bails out the treasury.

[Elliot]

At least the viceroy's had some real cannons though, you know?

[Gerald]

Who are the viceroys?

[Elliot]

The samurai. Star Wars.

[Gerald]

Are they?

[Elliot]

Yeah.

[Dad of Six]

Okay. Oh, that's only after my transition.

[Gerald]

Let's see Job on the hut for a second.

[Josh]

That's non canonical.

[Dad of Six]

No, it's only the canonical kind of your right saber Stubborn is sometimes I move them just for fun.

[Gerald]

I was just gonna my mic. This is not the first time this has happened. Oh, no, it's fine. It's fine now. Yeah, Joe. No, it's fine now. It wasn't fine a second ago. We can see the problem. Like when Gerald like, hey, we had this problem. He's like, oh, I don't see it. It was there. Yeah, there was a roach in the bathroom. Like, I don't see it now. It was there, Gerald.

[Elliot]

If I had a heart attack, I would come to and be like, oh, look, you're fine.

[Gerald]

Yeah, you'd be like, seem like you're breathing now.

[Elliot]

Your heart's not under cardiac arrest now.

[Gerald]

Yeah. Take a salt tap. What were you saying? I was just gonna say big shout

[Elliot]

out to dad of six for 50 gifted subs.

[Gerald]

Oh, wow. Thank you, dad of six.

[Dad of Six]

Thank you very much, dad of six. Maybe we should get him in Japan. What is he.

[Josh]

They don't allow them there.

[Karen Bass]

No.

[Gerald]

Okay, sorry. So the point here is to get to the Odyssey now. Variety writer Marlo Stern is using that same playbook, right? You're a bigoted loser if you want films to be good, and if you want it to have some kind of representation that's just not representation of your race, but representation of the historically moderately accurate race. He's using the same playbook right now to run D for Nolan's the Odyssey. So his article is titled the Odyssey. Why Elon Musk and his troll army's attacks aren't just silly, but wildly inaccurate.

[Dad of Six]

Also, Cleopatra was black.

[Gerald]

This guy's very used to running D. Yes, he is. Oh, I hope I've been good this year for Butt Santa. Why am I but Santa?

[Elliot]

Cause you climb up that butt.

[Dad of Six]

Yeah, you do. Yeah, he does.

[Josh]

He does.

[Gerald]

See how many kids I have up through the butt with chit. Chit.

[Elliot]

Chip, look, the point is you're marrying gay. Let's move on.

[Gerald]

Yes, exactly, dad comment. Now bring me some figgy pudding.

[Dad of Six]

So

[Gerald]

this is a very demanding song. So follow up. Put this follow up post on X. Again, I believe this is from Variety. Do you guys have it? Yeah, Or Variety. Do we know if he posted this on Variety? He wrote the article. I assume it's him, so I'll do the same voice from the team that brought you. Why is Snow White Latina? First off, my grievance there. I don't think that anyone had a problem with Snow White being like Latina. I will tell you, that's not really the issue. The issue was the entitlement and the lady saying, there are no people and beautiful women in Hollywood who look like me. It's just not true. The idea that Latino women have been oppressed as, like, ugly. Get the hell out of here. It's the opposite of reality. Across all, all races. Even the most racist people on Earth, the Asians would be like, I like

[Dad of Six]

a big booty retina.

[Josh]

They make exceptions.

[Dad of Six]

We will put a blockade if you have Retina Jedi. If your Jedi go to Carnival. Open the blockade. There is a Argentinian.

[Gerald]

Oh, no.

[Dad of Six]

It's a trap. Your governor, I hear that the attackers are from Brazil. What are we waiting for?

[Karen Bass]

Open now.

[Gerald]

So the problem is not that she was Latina, but I'll continue with the quote. Why is Snow White Latina? Why are there black people in the rings of power? And Star wars has gone woke. Comes the latest online onslaught against the diverse cast of the Odyssey. These culture warriors have been led to battle by their own personal Agamemnon. Agamemnon. No, no. Elon Musk. Say it right. Agamemnon. Agamemnon. It's hard to do it in a lisp when I'm doing the affected New York Times variety. Faggot.

[Josh]

I'm calling HR Sam now.

[Gerald]

Please do. Here's kind of a summary of the article. They're basically saying that right wing trolls are unfairly attacking the Odyssey. And by the way, you are a right wing troll. The ultimate right wing troll is Elon Musk. And the movie Troy wasn't good because it was historically inaccurate. I think it wasn't great because Brad Pitt needed a leg double. But that's just my opinion. And they also say that minority casting is not because Nolan wants an Oscar. So the trolls are just making this up. White supremacist, all that kind of stuff. Right. And we will get to the facts, the references. Of course, maybe he's not doing the casting Nolan for the Oscar specifically. But he can't get the Oscar unless he creates the diverse cast and makes a tranny Achilles.

[Elliot]

They have specific requirements.

[Gerald]

They have very specific starting in 2016 requirements. So they say Troy was historically inaccurate. Whatever. These are the same people who wanted Cleopatra to be black. It's ridiculous. It's silly. I would have preferred that Genghis Khan not be Matt Damon. I would have preferred Genghis Khan looked more like those bad the Empire people in Star Wars.

[Josh]

There you go.

[Gerald]

You know, it would have been closer.

[Elliot]

That would have been a fun movie too.

[Josh]

It would have been better.

[Dad of Six]

Oh, sticker old is impenetrable.

[Gerald]

Okay. Elliot Page is playing the ghost of Achilles. Now, it's unconfirmed, but then people were saying it was confirmed. It seems like it's confirmed. Here's the thing. When we're talking about accuracy, is this just made up? Is this just made up? Are people just trolling? Is it just racist or do we have a reference point? Here's how Achilles is described by Homer. Achilles, dear to Zeus, roused him and Round about his mighty shoulders Athene flung her tasselled aegis. And around his head the fair goddess set thick a golden cloud. And forth from the man made blaze a gleaming fire. Ah, here's Elliot Page. Helen.

[Elliot]

Ellen.

[Gerald]

Alan. Alan.

[Elliot]

Whoa. Those are impressive abs.

[Gerald]

Yeah, it's really impressive when you get cosmetic surgery to turn you into who you truly are.

[Elliot]

That's cool.

[Gerald]

And some people are.

[Elliot]

Douche necklace, too.

[Gerald]

Yeah, exactly. They always. They always transition to a douche, baggy stereotype of a man. Just like men who transition to women. It's like, hey, we hate female stereotypes. Sure, let me dress like a glorified Barbie doll.

[Elliot]

They think I want to be a man. Means I want to look like a male cologne poster.

[Gerald]

Yeah, exactly. I want to look like a Latvian nightclub.

[Elliot]

He made me look like Drago Noir or whatever it's called.

[Gerald]

Drakkar Noir.

[Elliot]

Yeah, that's the one. I don't know. I'm not Middle Eastern.

[Gerald]

I want people to smell my waft as I walk by and go, there's an asshole.

[Elliot]

I could smell it under all that cologne.

[Gerald]

That's cool water. Yeah, that's right. Hey, did you guys smell my Drakar Noir? Later. We are going to party all day. Toilet. I have an indoor outdoor pool in my house where I have party. I will start to swim inside, and I finish my swim outside, but then come back inside, smell my Dracar Noir. So some people are defending the whole Achilles casting choice, saying that Achilles was gay, which, you know, at best, he was bisexual with patroclus. Even if that's truly what Homer intended, Nolan could have easily just cast, let's be honest, super or basic gay guy.

[Josh]

Is there no one else? Is there no one else?

[Gerald]

We'll follow you to the depths of hell. But Santa.

[Elliot]

Yeah, my problem.

[Gerald]

But Santa, my problem isn't that they

[Elliot]

went with an LGBT person. My problem is that nowhere did Homer say that Achilles had issues with testosterone.

[Gerald]

Right? Yeah.

[Dad of Six]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

Nowhere was it that he had to

[Elliot]

take supplements and have cosmetic surgery to look like a man, let alone the guy who won every battle.

[Gerald]

Yes, true. Oh, if not for Achilles, old Achilles heel, which can, of course be found in his vagina or a stiff breeze. The thing about Achilles, mightiest of all, he was a bantamweight. Now close your eyes. Listen to Monday.com. feel the sensation of an AI work platform. So flexible and intuitive, it feels like it was built just for you. Now open your eyes, go to Monday.com, start for free, and finally, breathe Lupita Nyong'.

[Elliot]

O.

[Gerald]

Is playing Helen of Troy. Here's how Helen is described by Homer. It is no wonder that Trojans and Achaeans under arms should for so long have borne the pains of war for one like this unearthliness. A goddess the woman is to look at. And here is the wondrous goddess Lupita, our mid who art in heaven now.

[Josh]

Is that a shirt?

[Gerald]

It's paint, probably. Our mid who are in heaven. That's true. Seven out of ten be our name.

[Elliot]

That's traditional war paint. She's a Wakandan warrior.

[Gerald]

Seven is high. That's high. Then you go to another cast. Travis Scott, who took a break from killing concertgoers to play a bard. Nolan said in the casting. I cast him because I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap.

[Elliot]

Now I want somebody to rap the Odyssey.

[Josh]

I don't, in fact. Thank you.

[Elliot]

It would be better if it was sold like that, though. It'd be better if it was like Luis Manuel Miranda, his Odyssey. And then that was what it was. That's portrayed as what it like. Sell it to me as the Odyssey, Luis. Don't sell it to me. It's Homer's Odyssey.

[Gerald]

And Louise, Is that the guy? Like the small guy, the scrunchy face?

[Elliot]

I. I don't.

[Gerald]

The guy wasn't waiting when he looks out of Monte Cristo. No, no, that's Louise Guzman.

[Josh]

He's a different guy.

[Gerald]

I am Achilles. I will go forward and kill all the warriors. Bang, bang, bang. How is this a bad plan? Odyssey goes to the hood.

[Josh]

Odyssey in the hood.

[Gerald]

So let's. Let's answer, though. Is this just. Oh, yeah, no, we're just pointing this out. It's a diverse. No, actually, to qualify for an Academy Award, a film has to fulfill diversity quotas. To be clear.

[Josh]

Oh, no.

[Gerald]

Two quarters in the. Or at least two out of the four following categories. So, two quarters overall, but there are four categories, and at least in two of the four categories, they have to have diversity. Standard A, on screen Representation, Themes and narratives. Standard B, Creative leadership and project teams. Standard C, Industry Access and opportunities, or Standard D, Audience development. And here's the crazy thing. Before the quotas, before the wokeness, we had every single one of these organically. That's the difference between equality and equity. Now, if you were to just take this and apply it to government, oh, boy, do you have a problem. And they did. And then DEI was officially, as a matter of policy, precluded from government. Thank you, President Trump. Let's go by standard A. Right? Diversity on screen representation, themes and narratives. Like Fresh Prince, like Family Matters, like Boys in the Hood, like, what was that one? Waiting to Exhale? Standard B, creative leadership and project team. Like many of those films that I just discussed, like Spike Lee films. Standard C, industry access and opportunities. This just seems redundant because, see, the previous category, standard date, audience development. Do you mean like BET or Tyler fucking Perry movies? There's an audience, they're developing it. Here's some stuff for you. You didn't need the quotas. The problem is when you try and thrust them into something where it doesn't make sense. And what's crazy about this is, think about it. Without the quotas, without the diversity mandates, in the 90s, let's take it late 80s through the 90s, the three most identifiable faces on earth, do you know what they were? Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson. Two and a half out of three ain't bad. And then who was the highest earner? Will Smith.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

Who was rated favorite movie star for quite a few years? Denzel Washington also voted most beautiful man in America. And Morgan Freeman was most beloved. Think about that. This is before. Could you say that now?

[Josh]

This was before Barack Obama. We didn't even have a black president yet, and we still had this.

[Elliot]

And these are all guys that were in original movies, original stories. You had the big blockbuster hits like Independence Day with Will Smith.

[Gerald]

You had.

[Elliot]

I mean, Denzel Washington is revered as one of the best actors we've ever seen. Morgan Freeman was an all. Shawshank Redemption is. Is ranked by many people as the best film ever.

[Gerald]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliot]

We. We did it organically.

[Gerald]

Right.

[Elliot]

And we didn't think about it twice.

[Gerald]

Right.

[Elliot]

It's. It's not that we have a problem with the diversity. It's the problem that you're forcing it. We can feel you forcing it. I saw some lady yesterday. She wrote that she doesn't want to be taken out of the story. She just wants to watch the story. She doesn't be taken out of the store because she recognizes what's being done.

[Gerald]

Right.

[Elliot]

In a story like the Odyssey, you inherently, without even thinking about it, you would see it and go, oh, Helen of Troy's black shit. I didn't know that.

[Gerald]

Right. Yeah, well, you didn't know because it's not a thing.

[Elliot]

No. Cause it's not a thing. And it's not that I had a problem with a black main character. It's just like, now I'm in the middle of the movie, and now I'M thinking, oh, what else? What other crap are they trying to push down my throat right now?

[Gerald]

And so now it's not, can I

[Elliot]

just watch a film?

[Gerald]

And now it's not about serving the audience, it's about serving the academy and the industry. And that's why they try to gatekeeper and strangle new media creators because they are no longer relevant. So it's, we're gonna set these quotas and you guys better meet. Can any of you name the best picture nominees for the last five years? We used to do an Oscar stream. It is actually just, it's so analogous. We used to do an Oscar stream every year, I wanna say four or five years running, right. We'd do a big event with it. This is before live streaming was really a thing. We were the only ones doing it. We'd dress up, we'd have themes and then we just. Well, first off, we were consistently removed for streaming the Oscars. And by the way, we were streaming it in a box. But it was a watch along because they were like, well, we don't want to lose our viewership now. They beg people, they beg people to cover it. They send out pressers demanding to be covered. And then no one cared anymore. No one cared anymore. The crossover was. What was that Mexican movie on Netflix where the dog kept taking a shit in an alleyway?

[Elliot]

You know what I'm talking about?

[Gerald]

It was like, Ro Rosa, someone help me out here.

[Elliot]

I think it was Kaka.

[Gerald]

It won best picture, right?

[Josh]

I know what you're talking about.

[Gerald]

I watched it. I watched it. I was like, there's nothing notable about this film. Nothing. That's what I stopped. But here's the thing. It's not about serving you. It's about serving the academy, the elites in the industry and blaming you for not going along with it. So that hopefully they guilt you into somehow giving them your money. And I'll prove it to you. Time for a cowshe check in the odds now, pre release, while we're still in the rumor phase of the Oscar getting best picture, The Odyssey is at 23%. June Part 3 is at 11%. That's probably Hail Mary is 9%. In other words, the betting odds just go, this is diverse. It'll probably win.

[Josh]

Yeah, absolutely. And by the way, Project Hail Mary, I haven't seen the other two. Obviously Dune hasn't come out yet and neither has the other one, Odyssey, but Project Hail Mary should win it. Hands down, one of the best films I've ever seen should win it, no problem.

[Gerald]

But it won't. I don't trust your have any diversity now. Fine.

[Elliot]

It doesn't have any diversity project. Hail Mary.

[Josh]

Not. Not a lot. I mean, if it does have some, it's very little. There's not a ton of, you know, human characters.

[Dad of Six]

Does it have a big booty retina?

[Josh]

It might.

[Dad of Six]

Then I will see it. Get the popcorn and the Milk Dud ready.

[Josh]

No Latina. Sorry, I just.

[Gerald]

I was waiting for the flu. So here's the funny thing though, too. You would think. Let's go to the original source material. One of the most referenced piece.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

Of literature ever. Right. Like, let's just go to that. You got it. You don't have to go like. I had difficulty in drawing inspiration. Boom, right there. Read it and turn it into a movie. No, he drew inspiration from Emily Wilson's translation of the Odyssey, which was applauded for its, quote, feminist approach. Here is Wilson discussing her translation link in the description. We always make the references available. If you want to get mad, go check this one out. 11:00am we always give them to you. I felt that many translators had indulged the impulse to simplify the ethics of this poem by presenting Odysseus as if he were not only a warrior and a protagonist, but a, quote, hero in the modern sense, someone to admire. And reducing or removing the possibility of narrative sympathy for other characters, including the slave characters, whom most translations again, shockingly label as if they were free maids, herders, housekeepers, et cetera. Meaning she wanted to change it to be more feminist because she thought that people were misinterpreting the original Odyssey in it could be seen today as chauvinistic or misogynist.

[Josh]

Hold on. She didn't think they were misinterpreting. She's like, nobody's doing this, so I'm going to.

[Gerald]

Yeah, right.

[Elliot]

Yeah.

[Gerald]

She wasn't misinterpreting.

[Elliot]

She wanted a different choice.

[Gerald]

She deliberately misinterpreted it. Yes, she deliberately misinterpreted. Let's see. So. And those of you who just tuned in, thank you for the raid. Dan, those of you who are tuning in now. I couldn't help myself. I obviously revealed this at the outset of the show because it's just too good. All right, so most people got it wrong and it really should be a pro feminist piece of literature poem. Do we have anything that might refute that? Maybe. Well, In Odyssey book 1 is it Telemachus tells his mother Penelope, go then within the house and busy yourself with your daily duties, your loom, your distaff, and the ordering of your servants. For speech is man's matter and mine above all others. For it is I who am master here. Translation. Shut up. Well, it gets even worse. The English classicist Mary Beard describes this passage specifically as the first recorded instance of a man telling a woman to shut up. Shut up, bitch.

[Elliot]

And he was quite a articulate with it.

[Gerald]

Yes, he really was. He went the long leave the manly work to a man. Go fulfill your womanly duties with your breasts and your vaginas.

[Josh]

Well, singular.

[Gerald]

You worry about the cleaning and I'll worry about the killing. When I come home, we'll both worry about the screwing. That's pretty much it, guys. That's teamwork. And guess what? She was happy to do it. She didn't want to get speared on the battlefield when he came home, you know, hey, we have a headboard speared in the bedroom. Suck it off. No, come and let me spear thee. When they're running all of this.

[Elliot]

If it's noodles, it's javelin.

[Gerald]

Thank you, Gerald. Thank you so much. No, I bet that is it on the board. Okay. When they're running defense like this, it means they know what's about to go down, right? They did it with Captain Marvel, she Hulk. They did it with the wokeifying of Star Wars. The fact that they haven't gotten the memo, I mean, it tells you it's not even a profit motive for Hollywood. It's an ideological one. And that's why the left, why they've seized powers over institutions. And that's why I always caution you against demanding all the wins, right? Now, for example, under George W. Bush, now wherever you line up on that, they would always say, they would always do this thing, the left, the code pink. Oh, I support the troops. I just am against the war. Which by the way, is a perfectly legitimate position to hold. But you had a rash of film like Lions for Lambs rendition redacted, where it was always American troops who were the villains, the evil ones. You saw the same thing with the Vietnam War fight film era, right? Where they said we support the troops, except they're all baby killers and they're bloodthirsty monsters. It's an ideological motive because they were hoping to skew public perception. None of those films were successful. None of those films were profitable. Hollywood, these production houses, they will make some films that they know they need to to get enough money out of you so that they can make another one that may fail, but it will just nudge systematically you toward their worldview and then they'll branch out into kids films, and then they'll branch out into actual educational content, which will then be used in schools. When we were kids. I've seen it. I've seen it. Because the closest you will have on me to ever taking part in this, ever taking part in something that is a violation of my principles was me at 12 years old, the brain on the show Arthur. And in the Christmas episode, I had to do. Well, the album, they cut it from the episode, rightfully so. A Kwanzaa rap. It was then, only while I was rapping about Kwanzaa that I realized I was in fact playing a black bear. And I was part of the problem. I apologize for that. And this was going out to kids. Hey, educational. And it was everything. It was all the diversity. It was everything the same. All the. To tell kids that Kwanzaa is just as legitimate as Christmas, to make that a part of curriculum. Guess what? That's what I'm talking about. It starts with something like this, and then it gets to the point where a kid comes home from school and goes, well, you know, yeah, Christmas is cool, but what about all the people who celebrate Kwanzaa? And you have to tell them that's like 1%. And it's basically because they want some free shit at the local, whatever, Social Security office around Christmas time, where they give out a few turkeys. It's not a real thing. The guy who started it, Ron Everett, beat women with fire hoses, and he was in prison. You can pull the Los Angeles county records. He was a sex cult criminal. To be clear, it's not a legitimate holiday, but that becomes part of the cultural lexicon. They will lose money for a period of time to try and seize control over, if not your mind, eventually your children's. It takes time. It's taken decades and decades for academia. We've talked about this. Anywhere from 90 to 99% left Hollywood. Anywhere from 95 to 99% left. Big tech, anywhere from 92 to 99% left. Media journalism, always above 95% left. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design. And you need to understand one thing that design has built into it. The investment cost of losing money on content that nobody wants, that nobody will watch. But enough of you will stumble across and be propagandized effectively by it. That is part of the model, as part of the plan, in subverting everything that you want America to be. So you've got to think of the long game and pushing back all of that isn't going to be undone in two years, four years or eight. But it is. That thread has been tugged and it's unraveling and there is hope because you are seeing a shift and without the gatekeepers. That's great. We're able to just picture this, the Odyssey, this right now, imagine this came out in 98. None of you would be able to watch this and laugh along and read the references and know about the diversity quotas. Matter of fact, imagine if in 98, imagine if Ellen Page had not already been a public figure, transitioned to Elliot Page and they just put in films. As always, a normal guy. How would you go? There's something off about this and you wouldn't have been able to search it effectively. Today the progress is we can shine a light on it and it's laughable. The emperor has no clothes and they're concerned about it. So now they can't win hearts and minds. Their game plan is to mandate it. Their game plan is to do it with an iron fist.
