  1. “The USA put out a recruiting video And then like a day or two later, Russia put one out. And the recruiting fruit video in the States was an animation of a female soldier. With two moms, and she was going to go change the world, right? Russia came out with one. It's like it's the character from like Rocky essentially, and there are guys in the mud and just in the range fucking doing push ups, just pushing it out. They're just like, they see their boot. They're just like crushing things. And I'm like, and it's all like the deep Russian voice. I'm like, oh my God.”

  2. “Did you hear what she says? Russians, I love Russians. You know what I didn't love? The Russian recruiting video that came out. That shit was. Terrifying. Did you watch it? No. I told you about it, and of course, you didn't watch”

  3. “But then there's that snap reality that comes into play and goes. So, how do we fix that You gotta take on China. That's never gonna happen. The reason that's not gonna happen, it's happening again. So, Akani comes down through Afghanistan, Chinese are all through Afghanistan. Iran makes the deal with China for the roadway to get the oil. Well, that's done in the blink of an eye without anyone knowing. There's no way. There's just so much at play with China. They control such a large aspect of our world, unfortunately, that to take and free North Korea, a drastic action would have to happen. And then your people would come in. It would be a mess.”

  4. “I'm hopeful at that idea for North Korea. I'm hopeful for that because you never want to leave individual suffering when you know that they're actively suffering while you're just living your day-to-day life in the Western world just out grocery shopping and you see all this food and you know in the back of your mind like that interview fucked me up a little bit. I won't lie like and I had some of the girls in my office listen to it. They're just bawling because there's we're all parents and there's this idea that not being able to feed our children, that just the idea of that damages the psyche it brings up the pain in the chest like just the idea of it. And so going to the grocery store for about a week after that I just remember sitting there looking and just going, what the fuck are we doing?”

  5. “There's two ways to look at this. I'd argue on one side that suffering and suffering till you die, you know no difference. So you can't have hope. You can't have this idea that there's better. And sometimes that's keep that in its box. But then if you have kind of what you have with Park where she knows now that there's different, she knows that there's better, then you run into those, what is the damage that has been done? What is going to be passed on as intergenerational trauma? I know she's a mom. So it's like now you got to look long term a little bit because now she's an influence on a child. A positive to looking at both, I would say. And I know that sounds horrible for the living and trauma your whole life and just not knowing any better, but there's I don't know if that saves the brain”

  6. “We like the water or something. We like water or we like this because there is no individual. Like when they said there was no love or anything.”

  7. “You're saying questions I want to ask. Like, that's what I mean because after. Being in a war, there are certain things, there are certain atrocities that you see that it doesn't matter the therapy that you do, and I don't care what all the special ops guys say. Like, I know plenty of them that have a light switch and they turn it off and they can function. But I also know them when they've been out for 10 years. There's things that haunt people differently. There's no way there's not something going on there deeply”

  8. “Yeah, I love her. I watched that interview with her. She is, I want to talk to that woman so bad because when she was on Joe and she sat there and said, Joe's like, do you, have you done anything therapy? And she laughed? I was like, oh, that's my girl.”

  9. “That to me, I gotta, I gotta tell you when somebody calls somebody Hitler, the weight behind that has been completely lost in this generation. This generation does not understand what that truly means to call someone Hitler or a Nazi.”

  10. “Just even the first part of that wanting to take over Europe, if you really think about the scale, if you really sit down and go, he want this one individual was like, I want all of this. If you really sat down and you were to sit down and put him in his traits that we know of into any sort of document nowadays that deems somebody a psychopath or a narcissist, this guy would set it on fire. He himself was so... So damaged, and he reminds me a lot of people now who struggle to find their way. He reminds me a lot of angry individuals who are told no, either by women or by business or by whatever the sector they're in. He reminds me very much of that, what's the word I'm looking for, just that individual who's just like, the world is shit and the world owes me everything. And just it's that mentality. He really came from that, it seems like.”

  11. “Or if it was they were genuinely terrified Or if there was an aspect that was like this guy is saying something that resonates with me, there could be a lot of different things. I think it's unfortunate that we didn't get to. No one got to really examine this individual's brain and this person and why they thought the way they thought because that's always been the biggest thing for me is I'm really curious about why people do what they do. Deeply, deeply curious about it.”

  12. “I would agree with you on that. I think there's a way to look at people like that. And at that time, there was no real, well, there wasn't a full understanding of the psyche the way that we're starting to. I mean, we still don't understand any of it, but it seems like the time gap back then, there was no real understanding of sociopaths and narcissists and, you know, psychopaths and really what those traits were. I feel like people will follow blindly if they're given a good enough reason. Well, if you have an individual who is ranting and screaming at the top of his lungs in the middle of these town squares and he's getting this attention, it's human nature to want to understand and be a part of a group mentality. It's human nature to want to fit in. And so I don't know if it's more of people were at the beginning where just this is the cool thing to do.”

  13. “For me to wrap my brain around after being in a war and seeing when you have a small subset of civilians die, how much of an impact that has on that community right there in just a tiny area. So to try to wrap my brain around what happened in Europe and all across and all of that, I really struggle with that because I don't know that I can comprehend That would truly mean to somebody if I didn't experience it or see it for what it is. Does that make sense?”

  14. “World War II for me, I find that was the first experience where I became Just obsessed with history. World War II really did it for me. I'm not sure if it's because of the dramatization of film and TV and the way that our generation has looked at it. But for me, it was more than that. I felt a deep connection to it and I still can't figure out why, like a pull almost. joke around about those past lives and those things or those connections and there's something deeper within me that feels a pull towards that and i'm not quite sure if um it's because i had family that you know escaped hungry once the soviets came in so thanks for that um or if it was because my grandfather served in it or for whatever reason i just i have this pulled to it and so when you think about the mass casualty of the civilian population that's very different”

  15. “Would argue that's exactly correct. If you have someone you know that comes from your lineage that has done something super gnarly, that's just been a badass and in so many different ways, you want to know about that person. You have that person's blood in you. That's important to acknowledge. And when that isn't shared, I feel like it's just a detriment to that individual.”

  16. “I mean, it's understandable. I can respect that, but I don't think people fully understood the value in human stories over time and sharing that, that certain civilizations don't have written language. The value in that being passed down is extraordinary, but we didn't really have that with the World War II vets, it seems like.”
