THEO VON (HOST): On Easter, that's unbelievable. You know, when people are hoping for something new, literally on the day when people are hoping and are believing with their hearts as much as they can — and are celebrating something new, a rebirth, a resurrection, a possibility. To write that, it's diabolical. It's insane.
And I think my fear is that after they, you know, Israel just moved from Gaza and now it's Lebanon, and it's Iran. They're on a time clock, and I don't know why they're on a time clock, but it's — they've pressed the fast forward button on control at any cost. And I don't want to get too deep into it because I don't want to, you know, I want to stay in a place of possibility for myself. But I do fear that my — I think my biggest fear is that that stuff could come here.
You know, with the technology that they're using to take on a lot of these crimes, with the technology that they used to murder, I mean, it's — in Gaza. It's just like in these places, in the Middle East, with the technology they're using, they can, if they can instill that here, then we will be living under the watchful eye of drones that could take you out if you don't — if they don't like something you write online. And that's scary. But when you're up against like things that seem this bizarre and insane, other things start to seem possible.
And what American is this helping? Besides the war, the industrial war complex, what American, what hard work — what guy who's trying to take care of his family or a single mother who's a nurse who's going to work and has to get home and get to her kid's ball game and has to be both parents. What farmer is this helping? What regular person is this helping? I just don't know. I don't understand.
So, yeah, that's what our president's up to, and it's fucking baffling. And it's sick, and it feels like he's just been compromised by Israel, by this dark government over there. And I don't know. It's fucking dark. It's dark.
