Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's committing sex crimes? My actor who starred in Hard Target.
I think Hard Target was. I have no idea film
is best best Target. There's no there's no film called
there's no film called Hard Target. It's hard to kill?

(00:22):
Maybe your hard is it hard to kill? Are you Wikipedia?
I just control f his Wikipedia page for Hard Target
and there's no results. No, no, there's Hard Target. Yeah,
he's in a final shootout with John Claude Van dam
wait or his hard and wait no Hard Target? Wait no,
yeah it's Van Damn and Steven Seagal. Uh yeah, directed

(00:42):
by John wu Um, let me double check on his film. Yeah,
John Claude Van Damn, his Chance Boudreaux. Um, wait no,
maybe he's not in this. Uh okay, Steven Seagal is
not in Hard tar Get. I don't know why. Where

(01:05):
we're already we're already trust me into this than the
biggest film on deadly ground. Probably. Yeah, there's a couple
of movies are so wild. His latest movie, not rated,
was Beyond the Laws. Well, that is actually a good
title for a movie about Steven Seagal because China sales

(01:31):
while he was working as a cop in a questionably
legal capacity. He rammed a tank into a guy's chicken
farm and maybe killed a puppy. I think that's that's
the allegation. Um, he's like got allegations of sex trafficking
against him, almost certainly sexually assaulted women. There's certainly allegations
of sexual to numerous He's basically every other year been

(01:54):
mobbed up. Yeah, and there's a lot by there's a
lot of interesting evidence behind the mobbed up thing. He's
connected to Putin, He's connected to Lukashenko, the dictator of Belarus. Um,
he's like he's just a he's a like a baffling
lye bad person like Steven, Like, right, you hear action
movies start and you're like, Okay, well I expect that.

(02:15):
You know they've done some shady ship. They've endorsed products
that you know are made through human trafficking or whatever.
They've probably sexually harassed people. Steven Seagal is like a
bad person for a male action star from the nineties,
Like he's the worst of them, and they're all almost
all pretty bad. Like he's he's the worst of them.

(02:37):
I guess we'd say Arnold Schwarzenegger is the best of them,
even though he also has allegations of sexual harassment against him,
but as far as I can tell, never sexually traffic
to human being. He does have pet donkeys or rammed
a tank into a guy's house. It's so wild, Like,
first of all, it's unhinged. It's fun. Fact he has

(03:00):
an extensive sword collection and a custom made guns made
for him once a month. Once had this happen for him,
And then he also, um, I don't believe that, nor
do I. He Also we find out Steven Seagal is
writing Steven Seagal's own Wikipedia page. But also like, there
are all things that like clash completely, Like he's a

(03:22):
Buddhist and apparently he wrote an open letter of Thailand
in two thousand three that was urging them to indact
the law to prevent the torture of baby elephants. So like,
and then he was granted Pete Humanitarian Award. So he's like, yeah,
he's gotten some weird awards. He doesn't deserve them at all.
He's a he's a weirdo. He cut an incredibly horny

(03:46):
album that includes a song where he says that he
wants the Punani tonight. Um, we did a two Parter
with Sean Baby about Steven Seagal, and he's um, He's like,
he's pretty bad. He's annie. He says the word poonani sharene.
Can I leave now? You can't hear the fact like

(04:09):
there's there's certain bridges you can't on cross right. It's
like the first time you see a dead body, like
you're a little different. Ever, every other day after that, Um,
the first time you hear Steven Seagal sing that he
wants the poonani tonight, nothing is ever the same. It
fundament hot. Hearing you say that twice doesn't make me

(04:33):
the same either. Well, you know, it's kind of like
a vaccine. Sharene. So because it's going to have an
impact on you, but because I've said it, when you
hear Steven Seagal say, it will have less of a
toxic impact on you. I do want someone to just
take that the excerpt out and just have Robert saying,
whatever you said about the pani, what I've said the

(04:53):
word three times now. I don't like I Honestly, if
we're talking about this, I can't think of a word
I hate more than puni. One of the worst words
that's ever existed. It's just such a like if I
were like really into somebody and we were about to, like,

(05:13):
you know, do a thing and they used that word,
I think I would stop. I think it would just
be like, well, that's weird, Like I can't, I can't,
we can't proceed, So say the word pani might be
who I hated that I said. That word is the
newest form of birth control. Yeah, I think it might
be more effective than an I U D. Yeah, okay, funny,

(05:36):
but it's fun simultaneously has all of the hormonal side
effects of an I. Somehow, I don't know a fact
about the origin. I just looked it up. I don't
know this her about the word or Okay, I don't
don't think we say it more than once, Robert, Okay,
you've said it like six times straight and I'm concerned. Yeah,
we didn't want all with pani now, Yeah, okay. Apparently

(05:58):
it was first used in the colum A Sutra, and
it's a word to describe the female to talia. Surprise, surprise.
But then the Hawaiian slang for vagina or volva is
also that word, and it means beautiful flower. So you know,
you like, I feel bad now, but I also just
hate it. I hate what a white person says that is,

(06:19):
that's that's fair, right, yeah, a white man. Yeah, I'm
sure it's a fine word within its original context and
the culture that it was birthed. But Steven Seagal has
has done unmitigated damage to the time recording it on
a song's it's done now, there's no more, there's no Yeah,

(06:40):
I'm sorry to the the real meaning of it. You
don't deserve that beautiful flower because Steven Seagal. I don't
even want to talk about Steven Seagal and flowers. That
just that in and of itself feels gross to me. Sharine.
Do you like the written word? Sure, novels fiction? Yeah?
I pretend to sometimes. Yeah, who doesn't love a good

(07:03):
a good piece of just really getting able to like
dig in and get you know, so to speak. Poonani
deep in in a in a real work of fiction
that hated that fiery passion. One of my favorite books,
one of my favorite books. Actually, it came out a

(07:23):
couple of years ago. The author is so fascinating, the authors,
I should say, Um, it's called The Way of the Shadow, Wolves,
the Deep State, and Hieing America. Sharine I have incredible news.
That's what we're reading today, my favorite book. Oh yeah, yeah,
it's gonna be pretty great. Um. So we talked about

(07:46):
this during the Ben Shapiro's Unreadable Book episodes about maybe
maybe doing you know, the Way of the Shadow Wolves
with Katie and Cody. But then I got mailed, um
actually an antique book from like a century ago that
I'm going to read with them, and it it just
but I still wanted to give people the Way of
the Shadow Worlds because this is a special book. So

(08:08):
it's written by Steven Seagal and a fellow named Tom Morrissey.
Tom Morrissey is a former U. S. Marshall, a businessman,
a writer, and a musician. I'm getting this from the
website where he ran for mayor of Pason Arizona, UM
and he looks like the guy like okay. Born and
raised in Brooklyn, New York, Tom started his writing career
in the music business as a songwriter and performer. He

(08:29):
wrote songs for such greats as Ray Charles, Richie Havens,
Brooke Benton, and The Crazy Elephant. I only know who
Ray Charles is, and I don't know if this is true.
He might be lying. He wrote a book with Steven Seagal,
so keep that in mind. Um. He says he spent
a lifetime studying martial arts, including a rare form of
Chinese internal martial arts known as Shingey, under Grand Marshal

(08:50):
Master Kenny Gong of Canton, China. I have to assume
he's lying about that, because again, Steven Seagal claims to
be a martial arts master, but you can find videos
of him doing his his bullshit throw people martial arts,
and it's just people who have been paid to make
him feel like a big man, like he can't. Martial
arts to white men is what yoga is too white women,

(09:13):
you know what I mean, Like they have they shouldn't
be there. Yeah, it's like they should create so much.
I've known some people who get into like you know,
jiu jitsu or whatever, and like it can be it's
great for your health, it can be useful in a
variety of ways. That's not what Stephen Seagal does. Steven
Seagal pretends to throw people in videos where you can
hear him wheezing hard enough that he nearly collapses. Every

(09:35):
single person both on this podcast and listening to it
could take Steven Seagal in a fair fight. I feel
incredibly confident of that. Um Like, there's not a doubt
in my head that no matter who you are listening
to this you could take And there's like a twelve
year old listening. And I want you to know, Yes,
you too could drop Steven Seagal if you had to,

(09:57):
and it it wouldn't be that big a deal for you.
I promise you. He's gonna get him where it hurts,
like in his knees, like he's not He's like an
old person now, you know, Like I don't he fight back? Really,
I don't mean to you shouldn't beat up old people,
but you should beat up Steven Seagal. You should beat
up Steven Seagal. You should have done that, no matter
his age, because he physically abused a number of the

(10:19):
women he was intimate with, probably all of them based
on what we know. Um again, he's a monster. So
Tom Morrissey is his co author on this because Tom
Morrissey is a U. S. Marshal and I believe the
character Steven Seagal, Steven Seagal self insert character in the
Way of the Shadow Wolves is also a U. S.
Marshal and as you noted, the the sub headline or

(10:41):
the subtitle is The Deep State and the Hijacking of America.
And on the front cover, the front cover of this
book is one of the best things I've ever seen
in life. It's it's Steven Seagal wearing like a seventies
leather jacket with like the tassels all down the front,
which is mother fringe. And I believe it's I mean,

(11:04):
he claims to have indigenous ancestry. I think I don't
sure how accurate that is, because again, he lies about
almost everything. I think the jacket is him appropriating Native culture.
He's going to buckle that I think is a head
dress belt buckle, and he's wearing a huge all of
this is clearly photoshopped on to his body, a huge
turquoise amulet. You can also see him carrying a gun
the wrong way and a shoulder holster through the jacket,

(11:26):
because if you can see I carry a shoulder holster
a lot of the time. If you can see the
gun through the split in the jacket when it's open,
you're not carrying it properly. The point is that your
gun is not visible because it's a conced anyway, but
like no, but the way his hand is on the jacket,
it's almost like here, it is like he wants you

(11:46):
to see, like packing, he wants you to see he's
carrying a gun the wrong way. Because also it's not
just that it's visible, it's that the handle is visible
right below his stern um in the center of his chest.
I don't know how you could wear a shoulder holster
in a way that would display the gun in that
it's it's it's wrong everything about it. He's not a man. Yeah,

(12:12):
I mean, I love that. I already thought the cover
was ridiculous, but I love that you brought like factual
evidence that it is ridiculous. You know, I would never
have looked at that and been like, how do you
wear a gun that way? You know what I mean?
So thank you. There's some chick we're look there are
some it might I guess it's theoretically possible. He's wearing

(12:33):
a chest rig for the guns. So there's shoulder holsters
and then there's rigs where you strapped the gun in
the middle of your chest and it's meant to be
open carried if you're like out in the back country
in Alaska, and you might encounter a grizzly bear and
you want to very quickly be able to access a
firearm because you're worried about bears. People carry guns that
way for hunting. Sometimes people like Marshalls don't conceal carry

(12:54):
guy anyway, I'm going off too much on this guy's
Carrie rig but it's baffling to me. It's one of
the many things about this book. Yeah, just based off
what I've quickly read that it's baffling. What's a funny
is the photos on the back cover. Have you seen that, Sophie.
We have a lot to get into here. It's hilarious.

(13:15):
It's like, what you have to take this one by one, Sophie,
otherwise we're not going to get through any of this
fair enough. On the cover, outside of the clearly heavily
every aspect of the photo of Steven Seagal in the
front of the cover is photoshopped. Behind him is a
giant wolf that takes up half of the cover with

(13:35):
its staring eyes. He's directly in the middle of the
wolf's staring eyes. What gets me is that he probably
thought he was he thought this He's got a fucking
print of this book cover in his house and it's
twelve feet tall. You know, he does this gets him
a half chub whenever he walks out into his living room.

(13:55):
I don't want to imagine him getting a half chubb. Okay, yeah,
we didn't want to a man him saying poonani. But
that's no more, no more that he wants the punati tonight.
That's the way it goes. It was so that this
book was self published, like no one wanted to publish it. Yeah,
this was he found a vanity publisher who was I

(14:17):
wonder if it's the same publisher published Bin Shapiro's unreadable book.
It says it was self published on Wikipedia. But I
wonder what, like if they went through like a distributor
or something. Yeah, I think, I mean they did to
some extent, because Steven Seagal didn't figure out the kindle
layout himself. He didn't figure out printed. They hired someone.
It just wasn't Probably publisher did not say we like

(14:39):
this book. Here's money. You know, Um, he paid to
have this published. His power is publishing LLC. Yeah, it's
bad trying to figure out why why he has his
He wants you to know he's packing. He's like, look
at me, I'm a big shot. His hands, his hands,
Wait are you. I'm not going to jump ahead, but Robert,
please tell me you're going to read some of these

(15:01):
reviews of this book. Yeah, we might. We might either
start or end with that. I'm looking up his publisher
right now, Fifth Palace Publishing. Well, thank god. Let's see
how their Facebook is doing. Um, three and sixty four
people like it, three or seventy two people follow it.
So oh and the most recent post is from two

(15:21):
thousand eighteen, and it's about the Way of the Shadow Wolves,
of course, of course. Yeah, and it it says entertaining
in the beginning, chilling in the end, with big dot
dot dots in between, both from and it's too Amazon
review where that was. It's all so good. Oh my god,

(15:42):
it's amazing. So the sharene we're having a tangent here
because this is the last post. It's three years old.
January nineteen, two eighteen, was the last post from Fifth
Palace announcing the publication of Way of the Shadow Wolves.
The only commenter on that post, which had is eighteen
shares and a hundred and eighteen likes, one guy named

(16:04):
Ron Johnson commented eight times. All of his comments are
in caps, and I'm going to read his comments from
top to bottom. Okay, and again these are in all caps.
I am not asking you for his phone number, because
I know you cannot do that. However, have him call
my post one post two. Therefore, I truly would appreciate

(16:27):
it if you could contact my cousin Tom and ask
him to give me a call at my beach house
in Smyrna, Florida. My home fun phone number is as Fellows.
I think he meant to type follows and then he
puts his phone number there. Um. These are from a
year ago. Okay, I hope he got help. He keeps
posting he's talking to. Tom also has a brother named

(16:48):
Charles and a sister named Linda. When I was a teenager, Thomason,
What is this about? Oh? So he knows Tom Morrissey.
I guess, um, he's My name is Ron Thompson. I
am a swedo s U E d O. I don't
know what the funk that means? Um? Can I that
just like this is baffling? Okay? Yeah, I do want

(17:11):
to say, I don't know. I just really may want
to make sure people hear what actual publications said about
this book, like Vulture called it completely bash it insane,
The Phoenix, New Times called it garbage and breathtaking, Lee
bad Um hard to follow, Who's speaking fight scenes that

(17:31):
were even more boring than the dialogue. These are quotes
from actual what amazing. So we're in for a real
treat now. I want to cover because I promised Sophie
we would the back cover, which is not And where
are you seeing the back cover? Because it's not fucking
Send this you send that, Send that ship into the

(17:54):
into the chat, and we'll dig into this son of
a bitch. By the way, obviously we're doing a book
episode because I don't have time to write as much
as I would like to, So you can just what
are you gonna do? What are you going to complain?
You know, no, you're not going to go listen to Cometown.
Probably some of you this book come down. I only

(18:15):
paid to the Kindle, but I'm just going to ask
to um. The thing that we always do with these
is you get it on Kindle and then you immediately
request a refund when you're done with the episode, and
it generally works pretty well for us. So yeah, the
back cover is absurd, so so so so Tom Morrissey's
photo on the back crystal, We'll get to Stephen. But

(18:37):
Tom Morrisy's photo on the back cover looks like they
found a random photo on like a relatives Facebook page
from a wedding. Yeah, him as it it's clearly him
at an event and they've just cropped his face and
he doesn't photographed. Like the photo of him on the

(18:58):
back of this book is the moment of him realizing
he's part of a larger photograph and he doesn't look
happy about And this is this is the best photo
they could find for the book that he wrote with
Steven Seagal um absolutely incredible. So here's here's And the
Stephen Seagal photo is easily twenty five years old, like

(19:19):
this Stephen is from the nineties. Yes, And so here's
what is very funny. I have to read the bios.
Stephen Seagal is an actor, producer, screenwriter, director, alleged rapist
and human sex trafficker, martial artist, sheriff, musician, and international businessman.

(19:39):
Born in the USA with mohawk heritage, He is passionate
about restoring the Constitution as the foundation for a republic
and a return to responsible stewardship of Mother Earth, such
as practiced by the Native Americans. Tom Morrissey is a
retired Chief Deputy U. S. Marshal, martial artist, veteran of
the U. S. Army, musician, author, political leader, and activist.
He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, to

(19:59):
a Luke Caller family and a culturally diverse community. He
loves to tell a good story about his dream of
the return of his country's founding principles with power back
to the people. And there is an there is a
a blur ab on the back that's like a huge
paragraph from Louie McKinney, former director of the U. S.
Marshall Service. The guys who have been assassinating people lately. Um,

(20:21):
both that dude, UM Winston Smith in a uh Minneapolis
and uh Michael ryanhol in Portland. Uh. The guys who
I don't know probably tear gassed me. I mean I
think I only got gassed by the marshals like a
dozen times and shot with some musicians. Garrison got gassed
by them more often. Um. There was a fun moment
where they were shooting specifically at Garrison and he didn't

(20:44):
realize it because he was so busy filming um Okay.
As director of the U. S. Marshall Service, I fully
understood the challenges which face all law enforcement officers in
their day to day activities. This is the story of
a tribal police officer who stumbles onto one of the
most notorious cases of all time in the Arizona Desert.
Although it is fiction, the story could have come from
today's headlines. I know both of the authors and I

(21:04):
know their law enforcement experience. Which is evident is they
weave a tale of adventure, mystery, action and betrayal. Steven
Seagal is not only a master martial artist in film
star He's neither, but also as an experienced police officer
he is not. Tom Morrissey is a retired Chief Deputy U. S.
Marshall from Arizona who has intimate knowledge of the work
in the local area. Together they have written a book
which had me feeling like I was back on the

(21:25):
street protecting the citizens of this great nation. So I
have to again he was legally a law enforcement officer
because he was deputized by Sheriff Joe R. Pio, Arizona,
sharing wh Yeah. One of the things that has been
done for years is Arizona sheriff's will deputize any rich person,
like especially in rural Arizona, any rich person who's really

(21:47):
just been like a weekend or two a year pretending
to be a schriff's deputy, not like England nighting people
know there's a there's a real benefit to it, unlike
being Um, if you are if you are, if you
basically get a sheriff's deputy, two deputy ties you even
if you only do it once a year and you
don't live in Arizona, you can then carry a concealed
gun basically everywhere because cops can. So that's why, like

(22:08):
rich dudes will do it. As you get this, you
basically get law enforcement rights to carry a gun any
fucking place. Um. So that's the kind of cop that
show are or that well that both that that Steven Seagale.
So God, but this has been quite quite the introduction
to the way of the shadow wolves, um and the
deep state and the hijacking of America. UM. I want

(22:31):
to read the dedication first, so we can start after
the break with Joe R. Pio. We dedicate this book
to the Native Americans who have victims of genocide by
the early invaders from Europe, to the tribal police who
combined the old ways in the new to defend our
border with intelligence and integrity, to the U. S. Marshals,
most of whom represent the ideal of the Texas Rangers
who massacred indigenous people. Who's who whose job was to

(22:53):
kill Native Americans. That's amazing that you start with, like,
we we recognize the Native American genocide. Also, you know
who's rad the guys who did it? How does awesome?
How oblivious? It's I don't know, man, because they their
knowledge of history is based on four episodes of Walker,

(23:14):
Texas Ranger and a statue of a guy with a
cowboy hat. That's that's their knowledge of history, of course.
But you know who does understand history? Sharine? Who? Sharine?
You know? I think it was our friend of the pod,
Benito Mussolini, who said that blood alone moves the wheels
of history. And if anyone understands that, it's our sponsors

(23:36):
at Raytheon. And because the wheels of history need to
keep moving, they make sure the blood keeps flowing. That's
the Raytheon guarantee. Never an end to the bloodshed. So
celebrate death with raytheon. Oh we're back. We're fortunately celebrating death.

(24:00):
Um oh god. So after the foreword where he says,
remember the genocide of the natives and also the cool
dudes who did it. Um, there's this disclaimer. This is
a work of fiction, and any resemblance to anyone living
or dead is purely coincidental. But always remember that the
truth comes in many forms. Oh my god. Uh oh man,

(24:23):
I'm so on board. All right. So the foreword by
Sarah Sheriff Joe R. Pio, Who's police who Sheriff's deputies
in their prison, which committed a number of crimes against humanity.
Uh lad women to have miscarriages by locking them in
uh intolerable conditions without air conditioning. Who beat and restrained

(24:45):
mentally handicapped people who then died in summer heat waves.
Uh like fucking concentrate He ran a concentration camp. Oh
my god, yeah, real bad will cut. We will get
to Joe R. Pio, like we've I've been prom missing
that for a while, but we really do need to.
But anyway, here's the foreword to his book. I strongly

(25:05):
identify with this book because in many ways I lived
what is portrayed on its pages. During my over twenty
six career in the d e A, I worked as
a young agent in the Mountains of Turkey, often on
my own, chasing a legal drug merchants as part of
the War on drugs. Had that go joe, you guys win?
Oh no, it was drugs. It was drugs that beat
your ass. Sorry. I had to work side by side

(25:28):
with individuals who were actually sabotaging my efforts and even
putting my life in danger. Dude, if fucking people in
the mountains of Turkey had wanted you dead, you wouldn't
be alive. That you weren't worth the trouble anyway. This
was because they were on the payroll of the illicit
drug underground. I was promoted to regional director of the
d e A office in Mexico and Latin America. What
I experienced during that time brought me an understanding of
the mindset and customs of the drug cartels which drive

(25:50):
those organizations to this very day. As the longest serving
elected sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona history, I brought my
experience to that organization Arizona today is and has been
ground zero concerning a legal immigration and drug running. The
deserts of this great state contained the hidden highways used
by drug cartels as they pour across our unsecured borders.
Wasn't your job to secure the border anyway? That flow

(26:11):
has slowed under President Donald Trump, However, there are powers
known today as the Deep State working against his efforts.
The activities of the Deep State operatives are a grave
danger to our country because they are working against the
effort to secure our borders. It is my belief that
books such as this bring a better understanding through fiction.
This will help to bring it awakening, which has been
smothered by the entrenched leftist mindset that dominates the creative
media in this country today. I no end have worked

(26:33):
with Steven Seagal, who was a law enforcement officer. You
have to keep saying that because he's not. Along with
being an international movie star, also not what Steven Seagal is.
He has an unusual understanding of the world in which
this story takes place. During his time with my office,
he proved his skills as a fugitive hunter when he
arrested one of our top fugitives within forty eight hours
after beginning the search for him. He brought us way

(26:54):
of getting the job done. You really can. I first
met Tom Morrissey when he was a chief you at
Deputy US Marshall for the Federal District of Arizona. We
came to be close allies and united our agencies as
we fought the good fight against the evolving threat of
a legal drugs that we're moving through Arizona. Both of
these men bring their experiences to life on the pages
of this book. It is my hope that you have
not only enjoyed the storyline of the Way of the
Shadow Wolves, but you will also think about the message

(27:16):
portrayed here. It is less than a hair's breadth from
the frightening truth of what is actually happening today in America. Wow,
like a Fox News wet dream, it really is. Here's
the thing. I kind of suspect it might be a
better book than Ben Shapiro's that there's not a that's
not as zero possibility. Yeah, it's literally the lowest bar

(27:38):
possible for if they don't like cut randomly between viewpoint
characters without telling you and make it clear like the
basics of the passage of time. This will be a
better book than True Allegiance. I'm just, I just I
think that might be possible because what I what I
will say, Ben Shapiro has never done anything but been
been Shapiro. Both of these offers authors have gone out

(27:59):
in to the world and lived life. They've been terrible lives,
and they've left huge amounts of human trapnel in their wake.
But Steven Seagal has been out in the world. You know,
you can't take that from Stephen Um again, been out
in the world as a human sex trafficker, but been
out in the world. Um, I just think it's sorry.

(28:20):
I I was kind of glossing over a few things
on his Wikipedia page and I just have to mention this.
I don't know if you mentioned it the first time,
but he's had a lot of like just along the
lines of him being some like good fighter or like
saving the fucking city or state of Arizona or anything,
but he's had a lot of altercations and like um,

(28:40):
criticism of the stunt people he works with. And in
one instance, I have to read this all out in
one instant, they made him crap his pants. Yes, oh
my god, we did it too. Part er on Stephen.
I thought that was part of it. I'm just I
cannot this guy has like, oh it's always time to
ship on him, like in every way it's metaphorically am not.

(29:04):
Can't believe this one person has all this ship Yeah
he was. It was a stuntman who was like an
expert martial artist. And Stephen was like, well, it's impossible
to choke me out because of my Aikido skills. And
the guy was like, it's not impossible to choke anyone out. Literally,
anyone can be choked out if you have a neck,
and was like, not me, man, And then the guy
choked him out and he shut his pants because Sills

(29:25):
said literally he said go and then so he knocked
he choked him unconscious and then he lost control of
the bowels. Like what, well, it's just such a such
a joke. It's an unhinged thing to say, because like,
anyone can be choked out if you have a throat,

(29:46):
like he said, yeah, he said, he said he claimed
he was immune, Like, who do you think he is immune?
You have a throat, I mean he does have a
thick ass neck, so maybe he thought that was you
immune to bullets? Like, you know what, Alex Jones might
be immune to getting choked out because his neck is
about as wide around as like a human torso. But

(30:09):
Jesus Christ not said, yeah, he's got a massive neck.
It's anyway. I'm just I'm glad that you mentioned that
in the last one. I just cannot get over all
these things like his I don't know. Yeah, you gotta
check out our two part or on Steven Seagal. But
we have to move in to the preface, which is
um I think it's just starting with Its appears to

(30:31):
be a multi pay well. It's a page and a
half long rant about the deep state. What if the
deep state is not, as some strive to suggest, unelected
government officials, generally in the secret intelligence community in the military,
who run amuck outside the rule of law. What if
abusive elements of the federal government are very much a
part of the deep state, but they should be seen
as the best of the servant class, not the masters.

(30:52):
That's not a sentence. What if abusive evidence very much.
I have to diagram this sentence to you. We're doing
this again. Sorry. What if abusive elements of the general
government are very much a part of the deep state comma,
but they should be seen as the best of the
servant class dash not the master's question mark, what is
that saying? That's not a sentence, It's all the paragraph

(31:18):
is nonsensical because he's saying, well, people say the deep
state is unelected government officials, you know, acting outside of
the rule of law. But what if the deep state
is really elements of the federal government being abusive. It's like, well, yeah,
that's you're saying, Like, what if the deep state isn't
government officials abusing the law, but it's instead government officials
abusing the law? Like what what? What? What? Like cyclical

(31:40):
weird point to make? Like what you, Sharine, I have
to I'm a man who can admit when he's wrong,
and like Steven Seagal, I started this by saying this
might be a better book than True Allegiance, I no
longer believe that. Well, that's what I think of you.
I think I was just impressed by the writing quality
that Joe R. Pio represented, which which is leaps and

(32:03):
bounds above this first paragraph of the preface. Um, I
apologize this is terrible. I mean both of them have
truly like terrible, Uh front covers, like, like, both of
them have the most absurd front covers. I'm not sure
which one is worse. The font on Ben Shapiro's what

(32:24):
is that? What I'll give Ben Shapiro's I think is
like competent bad airline fiction. As in, if I if
I didn't if I didn't know who Ben Shapiro was,
if I was just walking through an airport bookstore and
I saw that cover alongside twenty other like James Patterson
and whatever, it wouldn't stand out. I wouldn't be like, well,
that's a particularly bad cover. I would be like, well,
this looks like the kind of book you buy in

(32:44):
an airport because your kindle broke um. I think the
Way of the Shadow Wolves, I would be like, the
funk is going on with this piece of ship? Yeah, Robert,
how is his punctuation? Is he overusing the comma like
Ben or held? So far we're two sentences in and
neither of them are legally sentences. So what if the

(33:09):
state was the Deep State? I am walking away impressed
with Joe R. Pio's writing quality because he at least
wrote proper sentences broadly speaking. So second paragraph, what if
the Deep State begins with one of the world's largest
churches and one of the world's most powerful families who
control London Wall Street as well as the Central Bank. Okay,

(33:30):
so we're getting cat we're getting Vatican and rothschild conspiracies.
I'm pretty sure I wonder how much anti cinematism in
this because when you talk about the most powerful families
who control London and Wall Street in the central banks,
you're talking about the Jews. That's like, not that they do,
but that's what you are. If you're writing right wing
fiction and you talk about the family that controls all

(33:50):
of the banks, you're doing it. You're doing a racism. Um,
even if you don't say the Jews, you're doing a racism.
What if God can sorry, just to go back to
our hearty say his last name are Pio. So in
the Phoenix New Times they wrote a piece in Team

(34:11):
that was like the most the nine most insane parts
of Steven Seagal's novel. But part of it is that
Joe are our Pio admitted he hasn't read it like
he did that he said, I can tell you, as
America's longest running sheriff, that this book is absolutely accurate.

(34:35):
And then why would I. Yeah, in this article, he
goes on to say he's very busy, he's got a
lot on his play, and it quotes I've been busy
doing a lot of things things. I mean, I will
say this. One of those things was apparently basic proofreading
um because Jesus Christ, I just had to mention that.

(34:57):
I just think it's so crazy that someone not only conlien,
would admit that multiple times. So we don't know, we're
not Here's the second part of the second paragraph. What
if government's failed to nationalize the central banks, leaving the
deep state to be controlled by one of the world's
largest churches and one of its most powerful families with
their personally appointed agents throughout the world of finance. What
if the greatest crimes against humanity occur at the banking level,

(35:20):
where bankers are able to manipulate interest rates in foreign
exchange rates, create billions in digital cast without backing manufactured
derivatives they sell to unwitting investors, and start wars to
impact the price of oil and other commodities. Would have
beneath the bankers or political parties generally two parties per
country that conspire to exclude all other political parties and
independence from power. What if in the United States, one

(35:40):
party controls seventeen percent of the other of eligible voters
and the other party controlscent of eligible voters. What if
another Okay, so this is like sovereign citizenship was like, yeah,
I mean funck banks. But you're clearly saying bankers are
controlling world government in like a like a like a
race is um way um. And also your issue is

(36:02):
not so much stuff like I don't know the I
m f um pushing austerity on countries that like primarily
damages the global South and cut support systems out from
under large numbers of poor people who have had resources
stolen from them for decades by the West. You're talking
about like they they're not backed by the gold standard.
That's your issue is that, like the fan doesn't use

(36:25):
the gold standard. You have no issue with like any
of the actual funked up ship that the International finance
uh whatever you want to call it does. Um Okay,
so uh dah dah. What if the mainstream media is
a complicit partner with the banking, political, and intelligence communities.
I wonder if Joe R. Pios said anything about I

(36:45):
don't know when a bunch of journalists revealed the Panama
Papers and how rich people were hiding trillions in wealth,
and then some of those journalists, one of them was
killed with a car bomb. Not a word on that,
just bake news coing with the banks. Would you have
plenty of journalists like establishment guys, but like journalists died
to reveal the kind of crimes that you clearly have
no issue with because you're angry that we're not on

(37:05):
the gold standard, you fucking weirdos um I do have
one more tangent. Whenever you're ready for me to go
into it, I would love for you to continue. I
just okay, I can't, okay, I have to read this next, okay,
please please please? What if the universities are also complicit
in the deep state narrative. What if most history taught
us a lie? What a few realized that the Pulitzer

(37:27):
Prize was created to honor the man who invented yellow journalism,
the original fake news in which massive lives were told
and you to justify wars. What if universities have refused
for decades to actually study and publicize the true cost
of specific policies, products, and behaviors. Because they've been incentivized
by commercial interest to overlook the fact that most of
what the West produces is both wasteful and harmful to
human health in the environment. Um cool I reading was

(37:51):
very impressive. Yeah, and it's always like, again, what makes
this I guess potential. I don't think this was effective propaganda.
There's elements of truth in that, but also like, this
is a guy who clearly thinks when he talks about
universities not treating real history, he wants them to teach
that Thomas Jefferson never repeatedly raped a child slave. Like,
it's not that he wants them to teach I don't
know about how the US repeatedly intervened in Guatemala and

(38:13):
backed death squads that resulted in the genocide of a
quarter of a million Maya and other indigenous people. It's
not that he wants them to talk more about the
Trail of Tears or talk more about the bombing of Cambodia.
It's that it's history doesn't talk about how fucking rad
Andrew Jackson was right. Yeah, I mean he's right about Pulitzer,

(38:33):
who was who was kind of trash um. So again,
so far it is more reasonable than Ben Shapiro's book.
I will give it that. That's all. That's a lot
to say after everything I've heard. You know, so he
just is ranting about like clearly stuff that like the
way he frames it, you could interpret this in a

(38:55):
way that's like not entirely wrong, but also it's clear
by some of the things he says that number one,
he's ranting about the Rothschild's largely and number two he's
angry at the deep state for not for and like
angry at the colleges for talking about you know, us
crimes against humanity and ship Um like it's it's it's
nonsense stuff. It ends on the paragraph what if this

(39:17):
book is dedicated to the Constitution in the Republic, would
the answers to the preceding be in some ways answered? No,
nothing that you've like this is just a bunch of
like weird, you're he's repeating the same question over and
over again. Um, he's not actually making any real statements.
And I guarantee you this book will not answer any
of these questions. It's going to be about Steven Seagal

(39:38):
shooting people to death. Now Shine, before we get into
chapter one, hit me okay um in the same Phoenix
New Times thing. So I read in the Wikipedia this
is about like how gie hot is for being try
like brought into the state or whatever. So apparently one
of the plan or like this, the plot behind this

(40:01):
is that Sharia law is apparently already here in the US,
and the plan is that Obama is a secret Muslim.
And then I have to read this one passage where
they're fighting, like the protagonist gets into a knife fight
and he dips his blade. He dips his blade and
pigs blood and then he sticks it in that guy

(40:25):
and it says, how does that pig blood feel, asshole?
Is it starting to course through your veins? Maybe even
pissing off the prophet? Maybe off the prophet? O, my god.
And then and then it continues. It says, I have
a special delivery from you from the prophet. He laughs,
and then uh, he does a deep stab into the

(40:50):
Persian's throat. This is a quote from the book, killing
him instantly. He drops to the ground on his way
to meet Allah. Oh my god, it's worse than I thought.
Calling him the vision is really of course, um, I
just amazing. There's so much like I uh skipped over
a lot of stuff. But there is a lot of

(41:10):
disgusting things that he says about Muslims. And because I
don't know, I just I didn't think it was this.
It's amazing, but it's this. It's based on like a
really a basic, very basic misunderstanding of Islam, which is
that like, because something is haram, it's like kryptonite to Muslims,
when in actuality, the prophet said, you can if you're

(41:33):
going to starve, it's okay to eat pork to save
your life or your family's life. Like I'm not, We're
not out of our mind. It's like with with ramadan
um you can eat during Ramadan during the day if
you're like fighting in a war and you need to,
like if you're sick, Like it's not an unread it's
not a like again, he treats like a thing that's like, hey,

(41:54):
it's best to avoid this, which every religion has ship
like that, including whatever religion he follows in tree, like
Muslims will explode if you touch them the bigs, like
I mean they all do it. Yeah, yeah, Like growing up,
I had that reaction to just would like pet my peers,
like I'd go to a party and they'd be like
alcohol there, and even though I've had alcohol before, they'd

(42:15):
be like, oh, they'll show this to Shari and or
like there was pepperoni pizza or something. It's like, oh,
it's not hallal. It's just because like that trickles down
to people sit they're being funny. The second time I
went to Iraq, I smuggled a bunch of cooked bacon
packages because my fixer, my best friend over in Iraq,
really wanted to try bacon and hadn't had a chance

(42:37):
to and like had no issues smuggling. And also the
drunkest I have ever been on a plane in my
life has been Air Emirates, and the guy pouring the
drinks was a Muslim man who I don't believe had
ever drank because of how he mixed the drinks. But
they were strong as fuck, which is why I got
why I vomited on an aircraft several times. But I
made it to the It was fine. It was fine.
I guess they're in the mild high club now in

(42:59):
a different way. The amazing thing about Air Emirates is
you can just ask them for four double screwdrivers and
they'll bring you all four at once they have. They
don't give ship. It's amazing. Hey, if you're paying, that's
all they care about. Yeah, that is all they give
a shit about. Um. It's fucking rad. Anyway. I just
love that like right wing thing where it's like, yeah,

(43:21):
you know you you guys, as Christians, they're ship in
the Bible. You do that. The Bible says don't do it,
but download. Yeah. Like there are members of Congress and
people like politicians saying terrible things about Muslims due still
to this current day. Like, yeah, I went to a
mega church as a kid that had an a t M,

(43:42):
which I'm pretty sure is money changing in a temple.
I think it may. I think in Jesus's eyes it
would have been like, well, yeah, that's you shouldn't be
doing that in the fucking church. I literally the only
time I assaulted people was over this um anyway. Anyway, Sorry,
I just needed to mention that wingers horrid and terrible

(44:06):
and I just can't believe that's in a published book.
I can't buy it. Yeah, they sell bullets that have
at least touched pig blood. Um. Yeah, from defensive ammunition
piece through pork. Um. It's not available anymore. It was

(44:26):
at some point this is looks like two weird to
me because also Jewish people are in the paints, so
they yeah, Jewish people can't. Well, anyone who buys these
bullets would be happy shooting a Jewish person too. I
guess that's there with cheehog Abbo. You don't just kill
an Islama's terrorist, you also send him to Hell. That
should give would be martyrs something to think about before

(44:48):
they launch an attack. Um, no, that's not in the religion.
He was like, you should avoid eating pork. He didn't
say if pig blood touched you go to Hell. Yeah,
that would be I don't think Islam would exist as
a religion if if Mohammed had been like, by the way,
if a pig touches you, you go to you go

(45:09):
to you go to the Hell. Immediately, people would be like, Okay,
this is kind of like what yeah, sorry to go
on this tangent. I just yeah again, but it's it's
also it says that they might have plans for a sequel.
According to Morrissey, oh fingers crossed, fingers crossed. The only
way it could be better is if they brought in

(45:29):
the musician Morrissey who might actually work with them on this,
and it's it's the musician Morrissey teaming up with Steven
Seagal to fight from Antifa, probably anti yeah, probably Antifa
probably Yeah. Okay, so chapters. We start with chapter zero one,
which in and of itself is kind of baffling. Actually,

(45:51):
you know we're gonna start with before we get into
chapter zero one, sharene, I'm not going to say Raytheon again,
and I already did that joke. We already died Raytheon.
But there's other things advertise on us. You know. It
could be dick pills, it could be machetes, dangerous dietary supplements. Um,
really could be stuff that's basically speed because thanks to

(46:12):
the State of Utah, dietary supplements are effectively unregulated in
the United States. Um, there's a lot of for that. Yeah,
discount code. Your heart will explode because this is just
uncut e fedra. Okay, d Yeah, yeah, your heart will
explode because this is just uncut e fedra. Um. That's

(46:33):
that's our discount code for off what is effectively speed.
But it has a guy with muscles on the bottle,
so it's a it's a yeah, it's unregulated America. Joe
r Pios America. Alright, so we're back and we're talking

(46:57):
about the Way of the Shadow Wolves. Chapter zero, on
tribal Police America's frontline in the Desert. It starts in
italics with the paragraph that's setting the scene. So, Sharne,
close your eyes, close your eyes. I want you, I
want I want to. I wanted you to embody this world.
I want you to to taste it and smell it
and all. All okay, my eyes are closed, Okay, okay, okay.

(47:18):
This is a meditation for the day too. I skip
meditation this morning. In a darkened Arizona movie theater, a
somber male voice provides commentary over the Native American chanting
and drumming that plays in the background of a documentary film.
Perhaps the great greatest morality play in American history is
what occurred in the struggle between Indian tribes and those
in the US government who were hell bent on civilizing them.

(47:40):
Throughout history, the conquering of the land that once belonged
to Native American tribes, which were actually nations in their
own right, by those who migrated here from other parts
of the world was a legacy of cruelty and bloodshed.
So far, he's not wrong. He's not wrong. I was
just expecting the other foot to shooting or half because
again we know he thinks the Texas Rangers who helped
to do this were that as hell. So yeah, he

(48:01):
talks about, you know, the forced relocations of two different tribes,
the trail of tears, the bureau closed by the way. Yes, Um,
the government encouraged the creation of tribal constitutions, out of
which came the tribal police departments. Within these departments was
the genesis of the Great Trackers, many of whom were
shadow wolves. Um. I have to know before we make

(48:24):
fun of this, if this is a thing he's invented,
or if it's a real concept, he's just butchering. I
really hope it's just some fiction bullshit because I can't.
Oh no, no, this is a real Immigrations and Customs
enforcement tactical patrol tactical unit. It's part of ICE, the
smugglers through uh Tohno odom Nation territory. Um. So it's

(48:48):
an ICE think, it's not like some Native Americans. It's
an ICE. It's an ICE unit. They're the first federal
law enforcement agents allowed to operate on Tohno land. Uh.
They are part of a treaty with the Tono where
the U. S. Government agreed that officers of this unit
would have at least one fourth Native American ancestry. Um,
there's only like fifteen of these dudes. But this is

(49:10):
a real thing. I guess. Um, Okay, that's an actual
This is an actual thing. Does that mean I can't
make fun of it? No, I think we can make
fun of Steven Seagal's coverage of it. Also the Sonic
the Hedgehog film, Dr robot Nick remarks that he learned
his tracking skills from shadow Wolves. So there you go,

(49:31):
Sharine Well, famed famous shadow Wolves. Dr robot Nick and
Steven Seagal. Um, this is a real thing. It's a
part of ice, which makes me inherently suspicious. But it's
also the result of Native Americans getting a treaty with
the government where they agreed, if you'll let feds onto
your land, will make sure they have indigenous ancestry. So,

(49:52):
I don't know, I'm not gonna sounds like that's not
my call make So there you go. Yeah, of course, Yeah,
it's a thing that happened. Something that happened? Yeah, or
is that exists? The closing moments of the film arrived,
and the credits start to roll. As the narrator continues,
Native Americans have an innate and powerful spiritual connection with
the earth and it's creatures, and understanding of the true
nature of all that is on this planet and how

(50:14):
it works in the perfect balance of cause and effect.
An elite group within the Native American communities known as
shadow Wolves are part of this perfect balance and are
the best of the best, with the ability to see
what can't be seen with the eyes they know without
having to be taught. They blend in easily with the night.
Right from wrong is ingrained in their souls, which makes
them able to stand against evil no matter the cost.
So superhero like, Yeah, that's what we're Yeah, that's what

(50:38):
we're being led to believe. I'm sure they're good at tracking,
you know, and of course, but like a long history
of Indigenous people tracking for the US and sometimes against
Like there would be Apache trackers that would help the
US government hunt down Apache bands because they probably had
no other choice. Yeah, I'm not. I mean, obviously that's
too complex of history for US to just like happened.

(51:00):
There's certainly criticisms of those guys, absolutely, but it happened. Um.
And then there were Native American code talkers Navajo code
talkers in particular, um, who helped during World War Two
because nobody in the axis understood what they were saying. UM,
which I think is less problematic because you know the
fucking Nazis um. So yeah, whatever, It's like, this ice

(51:23):
unit is part of a long tradition. You could say.
A man sits alone quietly watching the film in the
back of the darkened theater. He stares in his seat
and comments to himself, it's about time. John God rises
slowly from his seat. So we're writing all this in
present tints, which is baffling, A weird call to make.
He still and continues viewing as he backs up, slowly

(51:46):
making his way out of the theater. So he gets
up from watching a movie and backs up out of
the waking of the movie theater. Yes, they specifically let
us know that he bought walks back out of the
movie theater. That's the end of chapter one. Is this
guy who is a John Goad is his his self

(52:08):
insert shadow wolf character who is watching alone in a
movie theater, a movie about the thing that he is.
And then he then walks backwards out of the theater
so he can watch the credits. That's a baffling opening. Yeah,
it really paints an image. Chapter two, Deep State in
the Desert. The Arizona Desert sky was full of color

(52:28):
as the sunset and the spirit of the night began
to stir. The clouds a brilliant orange. We're hanging on
the horizon with sunwight rays lighting them from the bottom
up as the daylight crept behind them. Oh my god,
what a sentence. We have to diagram again. I'm sorry.
The clouds comma a brilliant orange comma. We're hanging on
the horizon with sun rays lighting them from the bottom
up as the daylight crept behind the mountains. Comma off

(52:49):
in the distance, but not too far from where a
man named John Goad was standing. Period. Wow, we're reaching
Shapiro levels already, I am. I'm very impressed so far.
Can you remind me the protective name one more time?
Are they going to always call him? Yeah, he has

(53:10):
a longer name. Um. Yeah, there's a dust devil yet. Yeah,
this tall, lean man who in the approaching darkness could
easily have been confused with a seguaro cactus. I spent
a lot of time in the Arizona desert at night.
I've never confused a man for a seguaro. But and
maybe at a great distance, I guess, um, I do
want to say, I just up. Yeah, the last name goed.

(53:32):
The origin is it's a name for a person who
has performed good deeds and acts of kindness. So Steven
Seagal human trafficker. He's also tall and lean, which Steven
Seagal certainly is not a lean man anyway. Yeah, he's
projecting awhere here, Yeah, this is his self insert for sure?

(53:55):
Is that this isn't the ideal man. He's going to
be an uberman? For sure. He was fully away. Are
of a man standing behind him about eighty feet away
in the desert foliage. At first, that man seemed to
be taking photos of the evening desert that lay some
thirty miles south of Phoenix and less than ten miles
ten seconds from Washington, d C. What At first, that
man seemed to be taking photos of the evening desert

(54:15):
that thirty miles south of Phoenix and less than ten
seconds from d C. How what that doesn't make any
sense anyway. The Native maybe, I guess he through the
Internet or something like a smartphone. I guess, yeah. Sure,
the Native American John Nan tan Goad had classic chiseled
features and was born and raised on the reservation, which

(54:36):
Steven Seagal was not, leaving it at age eighteen and
after graduating high school to join the United States Marines,
which Steven Seagal also didn't do. It was clear even
in boot camp that he had something unique going on
that had its genesis in the words of his grandfather,
who had taught him the old ways starting when he
was thirteen years old. I can't diagram all these sentences.
I just need you, the listener, to know none of
them are legal sentences. This book is a crime against

(55:00):
Grammar in a way that he's already surpassed, surpassed Ben Shapiro.
Well again, I couldn't have been more wrong when I
said this might be better. I was just shocked by
the quality of Joe R. Pio's writing. It takes it
takes a very big person to admit they were wrong
about two very horrible things. I will say this, Joe R.
Pio hired someone who knew how to broadly speaking craft

(55:23):
as sentence um, and this Morrissey guy did not. His
spirit was totally connected to the land. He knew that
when he walked this desert, he was just stepping where
many brave, bold and sometimes naive men who preceded him
once walked. He could feel their energy and since their
spirit with the ways things were playing out in their culture,
how they had been led down a path of total
dependence on an elite group of politicians who were concerned

(55:45):
only with absolute power, nothing more, nothing less. He's thinking
about a lot of weird shit. He can hear what
sounded like clicking behind him as the sound rode the
desert air to his animal like ears. What, oh my god,
we got a real lagulist. What do your elf? I
see a moment? Yeah, yeah. There were others who had

(56:06):
joined the man, but there was no conversation accompanying their arrival.
The one with the camera device used hand signals to
it's just a camera. You can just call it a
we know what a camera. It's not, okay, used hand
signals to communicate with them. About twenty feet from where
John was standing was a rise in the land. He
proceeded with what he was doing despite the action behind him,
moving slowly through it while shaking his fist in the air.

(56:27):
This was his grandfather's old way as method of bidding
the sun a good night and asking it to return
in the morning. As he was ceremonially dancing and chanting
towards the rise, he suddenly dropped to his knees. There
he began his shaman natured ritual, celebrating the spirit of
the wolf, the dominant creature of the night. As he chanted,
a shadowy wolf slowly approached him out of the encroaching darkness,
kissed his forehead and stood there for a moment watching him. Um.

(56:52):
I don't believe this is authentic in any way. Um?
Was that even a question? Man? No, no, no, I
just I have to I have to state this because
one second, let's let's there's a question we have to
ask Google because come across this. Um, I want to
know if Steven Seagal has any native ancest I looked

(57:14):
it up. I looked it up and a lot of
people just say he's claimed it, and he's like, he's
spitely claimed it. Yeah, he like made well he has
Russian because it was given to Jewish immigrants. Yeah, his
grandparents were Russian Jewish immigrants. His mother had English, German

(57:35):
and Irish and dust Dutch ancestry. Um. I think he's
actually of evidence that he has Native Americans. He's really
tried to like sell it though. There are multiple articles
where like he has taken a reporter to like meet
with the elders of the Mohawk tribe and like he's
really trying to convince people. They're like he says, like
he's speaking, he feels a spiritual connection. He's like the

(57:58):
Rachel Dole is all of Uh, this is full of shit. Um.
And I want to make it clear that I don't
Number one, I would be surprised if any of these
are actual, uh indigenous rituals. Um. But even if they are,
we're not mocking indigenous rituals. Were mocking Steven Seagal, who
is culturally appropriating something that is has nothing to do

(58:20):
with him. Which is not to say, like, obviously, if
you're writing fiction, you can write in indigenous characters and
and and stuff like that, Like obviously you're not limited
to just writing people who are in your ethnic group
or religious group or whatever. Um. This is a bit
different than that because he this character is Steven Seagal
doing indigenous magic that he claims he can do, because

(58:43):
he lies and says that this is actually him. So
again that's what's wrong here, not wrong as an author
to to to write about cultures other than your own
and in fact, but also like how you avoid whitewashing ship. Yeah,
but like, look, let's just say even if he does
have some clay to that ancestry, even if he and
if this is bad writing, he's purporting or like explaining

(59:07):
all these rituals and like his grandmother taught him. This
grandfather taught him that. Like that's definitely not true, you
know what I mean. So everything he's saying to me
is bullshit. And his grandparents are Russian Jewish immigrants. Yeah, exactly,
there's no way he understands that upbringing. Well, and I
have to this, like he does this ritual and a
wolf kisses him, and it's like, you know, one of

(59:29):
my favorite documentaries is Grizzly Man, which is about this
this white dude who like went to live with grizzly
bears for years in the Alaskan wilderness and eventually they
killed him and one of the things that Werner Herzog
does that's very good is he talks to indigenous Alaskans
about what do they think of this guy? And they're like,
he was really reckless. You don't we know, you don't

(59:49):
funk with those animals. They're number one, very dangerous predators,
but number two, by directly interacting with them, you're in
dangering them because if they kill a person, the government's
going to want to kill that bear or whatever. Like
all of this seems wrong to me, is what I'm saying. Um, Yeah,
great documentary though, Yes, great documentary. After a moment, the
animal turned and looked at the men, who had stopped

(01:00:10):
dead in their tracks as they approached from behind. The
mysterious wolf's fierce eyes glared at them as they froze
in place. He then slowly turned his glance back to
the need of kneeling Native American, kissing his forehead again
before disappearing back into the shadows to forehead, give him two,
gives him too. This Wolf loves Steven Seagal. John heard

(01:00:30):
movement coming from what sounded like three men. He got
back to his feet and continued dancing his way into
the darkness. He went behind the rise where he was
able to observe them but they could not see him.
He was a ghost warrior known as a shadow wolf.
Third time we've had the shadow wolves explained to us here,
which is good writing. You need to three times explain
a very basic point one who could easily blend with
a night And then this is just a whole sentence

(01:00:51):
disappeared to the darkness at will, lacking a couple of
things to make it actually a sentence. He already dance
into the darkness, though, yeah, he keeps doing he's dancing
into the darkness. He's also being So they're going after
cartel guys. It looks like here, yeah, and they're like
apparently smuggling jats. That's like the plots like yeah yeah,
but in this scene they're going after cartel supply lines

(01:01:14):
and he's singing um, which I think actual indigenous trackers
probably wouldn't sing wow. Potentially going into dangerous territory with
people who wanted to kill them that they were tracking
to probably be very quiet because yeah silent anyway. Yeah,
I think in general, if you track and hunt dangerous things,

(01:01:34):
you don't sing, because it's you have to remind the
people though that their Native American characters with all these
rituals they were if they weren't chanting. Um, okay, so
Jesus Christ suddenly so yeah, he's he sees these these
people who are I guess tracking John, and he's tracking

(01:01:57):
them and then they disappear when the wolf sees them, Uh,
he pulls a gun, but they're already gone. I thought
that we had gotten them all, but maybe I was wrong.
Never underestimate the deep State, was John's lingering thought. We
don't know actually who these guys are, what they're doing,
but apparently they're the deep State, we learned, and like
it was unclear up to this point if they were
part of his shadow wolf unit that he was moving

(01:02:17):
through the desert with. I don't know, okay so um.
A few days earlier, things that started to get strange
when he began hearing from a confidential informant that there
were black SUVs doing a lot of driving in the
night out where nobody was then who reported it. Um.
He mentioned that a young tribal member who might be
of some help to him for a price. John made
it his business to find that person so he can
get an idea of what he knew about the going

(01:02:38):
Jesus Christ. The Big law Man tracked him down at
the casino where he worked part time as a gopher
errand boy. He quickly engaged the errand boy in conversation.
So we're just really more than we need to be
explained here. Um. So he starts talking with this guy
who saw the weird people. Uh, duh, duh. John didn't
have so okay, um, come on, man, before you go

(01:03:01):
acting like you don't believe me. You want me to
show you where it's at. You'll see what I'm talking about.
The range young Indian was gangly and of average height,
dark complexion, with long black hair, and a constant, slightly
hopeful smile. He wore a black billy Jack style flat
top cowboy hat in his early twenties. He didn't light
up the sky with his brilliance. John didn't have to
think much before taking him away. He didn't light up
the sky. He's dumb. He's dumb. Yeah. Um, So the

(01:03:26):
tall Man drives with him to the campsite where this
kid saw some ship. It was early afternoon. When they
got to the campsite, John found an assortment of tire tracks,
indicating there was more than a little traffic running through there.
This was a remote area loaded with snakes and scorpions.
Despite Sweet Tooth that's the kid's nicknames claim of wanting
to be alone, it made no sense for him to
be out there in the middle of the night alone,
but it made a lot of sense for the vehicles

(01:03:47):
to be there. It was simple. Maybe the cartel had
a new corridor. So this kid suspicious yea YadA um okay,
Jesus Christ um John so okay? So, John asked the kid,
you know, was he out here to find himself? John asked,
not looking his way as he studied the tracks in

(01:04:08):
the direction they were moving well in while he spoke.
This was a common occurrence in the Arizona Desert between
the Mexican border in Phoenix. Something he thought extremely dangerous
and if left unchecked, could Jesus Christ this sentence. This
was a common occurrence in the Arizona Desert between the
Mexican border in Phoenix period something comma he thought comma
extremely dangerous and comma, if left unchecked comma ah uh,

(01:04:30):
could cause the eventual destruction of the United States. Not
a sentence. The deep state within the mainstream media kept
the eyes of the country on the flood of illegals
that were coming across the border. They painted them as
simple people in need of a better life. It was
a cunning distraction to take the eyes off the drugs
that billionaire drug lords were pumping into the US. John
knew why it was working and saw it his collusion
between the paid off media and the drug lords. His

(01:04:51):
sense was that that that the then presidential administration in
Washington was using the media as their potent tool for
forwarding their open borders agenda. He felt that they were
poisoning the minds of many who drank up what they
were spewing like thirsty nomads in a desert oasis. What
troubled John even more was that the country was asleep
when it came to the o T M s or
other than Mexicans coming across the virtually open southern border

(01:05:11):
into the country. Um, yeah, trying to so other than
Mexicans are coming into a Symbologi Hotti caliphate, That's what
he calls it. His fear that they were already spread
throughout the cut. Yeah. You remember when all of those
ghatis came in through Mexico established I remember that the
thing that happened, the thing we've been warned about happening
for fucking years. We didn't. We should have built that wall,

(01:05:32):
you know. Yeah, it's they've been warning, like the right
has been warning about a Gihati caliphate for fucking ever,
and like it just never nothing like it ever happened.
I mean, it's just like one of those tactics that
makes everyone fear every Muslim person they see, like they're
Muslim neighbors and anything that would be like, oh, they're
part there. I mean, I okay, I don't know if

(01:05:52):
I've ever said this on this podcast, but I was
working like two years ago in a production office and
this boss I had that I had worked with the
entire year. She knew me very well. She knew I
was serious, she knew I was raised Muslim. Um we were.
We gotten to an argument about Scarlett Johansen playing an
Asia person and goes in the shell, and her argument

(01:06:13):
was all about, like, you're an actor, you can transform
into everything basically, and and I was like, my face
was a little disgruntled. And she was right across from
me at the table and I was on my computer
and she looks at me and sees my resting face,
which is I guess mad, and she's like, oh, Sherine's
about to go Gihad on us, and the entire my lass,

(01:06:35):
the entire laughs, and I'm like, stunt, this is not
a stranger, this is someone who knows me very well. Um,
and I couldn't. I didn't know what to say. It
was just like the only thing I can utter was
that wasn't appropriate, and then I was silent and then
just kept laughing at me, like you're so pc or whatever.
Um no, that's not what the fuck I know? I know,

(01:06:58):
and I couldn't. Really a lot of my income because
I'm freelance, was coming from this one person. So I
regret to have I never reported it because I was like,
I need money, right, I mean, that's often how it works,
right is Anyway, My whole point is that everyone thinks
every Muslim person is part of the jhad calife. Yeah
for sure, or they're like one step away from blowing

(01:07:19):
up physically. Yeah. Um, it's a good it's a good country, Sharine,
We're doing great. Anyway. That's just my old tangent. He
starts to build a connection with this kid who's into
something sketchy and seems to be like he's young and
he's dumb, and he's on a bad path. And John
Nantan Goad thinks about his own upbringing with his grandfather

(01:07:40):
who taught him the ancient ways always in quotation marks.
When he says old ways or ancient ways, it's always
in quotation marks, and he does it like every page. Uh.
He thought about the way he was guided and kept
on the path by two people who cared about him,
and the way his life should be. Did sweet Tooth
have anything like that in his life? My name is
John Goad, John Nantan Goad, he answered, with a trace
of sensitivity. Cool. I like that. You are this quiet

(01:08:02):
guy who moves around like no one I have ever seen.
You are a res man, and yet you ain't. He
had a curious expression on his face, but he seemed
sincere in a crude way. How does a dude get
himself into a job like you got? A dude gets
himself a high school diploma for starters? You got one
of those? So okay, he's asking about how to be
a cop. The dialogue is just the worst. Um. Yeah,

(01:08:26):
So he and this kid, he's he's he's he's mentoring
this kid um. And then they talk. He talks about
a crime he saw, probably the Deep State black bag
and somebody. Um, okay, there was a feeling about this
place that the sturb John, but he couldn't put his
finger on what that feeling was. It stirred something in
his memory that made him feel uneasy, though he couldn't

(01:08:47):
quite get where it all came together. It seemed to
take him back to things his grandfather had warned him
about when he was spending time learning from the old man. Again,
every page or a minder that he learned things from
his grandfather. Um, yeah, he remember being told the spirit
of a snake in his bloodline and gave and that
gave him power over some people and many snakes. Um Okay,

(01:09:09):
I don't think that's how it works either. Um it was. Yeah,
so he has power over some people and most snakes.
It sounds like, so that's good. Um, that's a fun
power to have. Uh Okay. So this just goes on
and on and on. Um. They have an encounter with

(01:09:32):
a guy with a gun. Uh it looks like it's yeah, okay,
here we go, all right. So, um, so he meets
a Okay, he finds a guy out in the desert
with a gun and they have a little standoff. Um.

(01:09:54):
And then he finds the body of Caucasian woman. Her
face was totally covered with caked, bloody dirt, dirt, and
her teeth were all missing. He realized that he most
likely had them in his pocket. Um, what what what? What?
How that I must have missed a lot. Oh Okay,
he finds teeth on the ground and he puts them
in his pocket, which is not to investigating a crime scene, right,

(01:10:18):
you would want to leave clearly, But he puts them
in his pocket. Then he finds a dead white woman
who has been horribly brutalized. And yeah, he decides to
keep this a secret until he's run a DNA test
and dental records, which again not great law enforcement stuff. Um.
So yeah, he reports that he's found this body in

(01:10:39):
the desert. I'm gonna guess she was murdered by the
deep State or the g Hottests because it's a white woman,
so it has to have been the Gee hottests. Um
of course. Yeah, so that's good. Um, yeah, that seems
to be uh where this God? This is a long
chapter and it's mostly just these repeated unness assary conversations

(01:11:01):
between this kid who we're supposed to see as the
the guy he's mentoring, um and uh and Steven Seagal's
self insert character. Um, he does call c s I
and uh. He does actually report the dead woman eventually,
so so that's good. Um he eventually doesn't mean he

(01:11:23):
eventually does his job. So that's the end of chapter one.
He thinks it has something to do with the Deep State,
even though he's just found a dead woman in the desert.
But he's certain this is this has something to do
with the deep state. Um, he couldn't shake the notion
that this could have something to do with the international
deep state, the hidden actors who played hard with the
truth and understood the real game and it's dark rules.

(01:11:43):
So that's the end of chapter two. Um, if we
ever come back to this, chapter three start. The title
of chapter three is hot Girl, Bad Boys. So you
could be excited for that, Sharine, We're gonna yeah, I mean,
we're at an hour in fourteen minutes, we've talked about
Steven Seagal or too much, too long? I mean it

(01:12:03):
was okay, I mean Sun is a stretch robber, but yeah,
fun is a stretch tolerable is a stretch. Not me
wanting to go off into the desert and kiss a
wolf is a stretch. Forehead kiss forehead to kiss to
forehead kisses. That's amazing. He just he wrote that right
into a book and thought like, this is gonna people

(01:12:25):
are gonna this is gonna kill you know, a badass.
Yeah yeah. People love it when I Steven Seagal, totally
real native American, uh kiss get kissed by wolves because
I'm just so in tune with nature and the wolves
saved me from the deep state. UM anyway, even you

(01:12:45):
saying that it's just funny to me, it's it's nonsense.
Like I said, we may or may not come back
to this, We'll see how people like it. It's I
think worth at least getting into the bones of this
nightmare story. Sharine. I do want to say I have apologize.
I didn't know we're talking about Stephen Segal today until
rite when we were recording, so I didn't listen to

(01:13:08):
the other ones. So if I had repeated myself, I apologize.
Please don't come from me on Reddit. I'm afraid of
all of you. UM people could always use a refresher
on Steven Seagal and well, um, you know, it's one
of those things. I think it was worth kind of
covering everything around this book, how it was marketed, the forward.
I don't want to go through this chapter by chapter

(01:13:30):
like we did with Ben Shapiro, because for one thing,
it's super long and just interminable. But we might if
we come back, we might do like the Greatest Hits,
where we actually go through those like most horrible points
and you know, find articles about some good quotes, you know,
and read the actual text of the very worst parts.
You know, that makes sense. We could we could follow
up that way excerpt that I that I picked apart

(01:13:53):
with the pigs blood thing as outrageous. Yeah, so yeah,
well we'll figure something out. But right now I'm going
to get a refund on this piece of ship because
I don't want Steven Seagal and Tom Morrissey or whatever
his fucking name is to get three dollars that is

(01:14:15):
too much money for to be in either of their pockets.
I wish the profitability like a split between the two,
like how much how much goes to this this This
book has not made a lot of money because, like Laurrissey,
didn't even get like a real head shot. He got
a cropped photo on Facebook. They were hoping this would

(01:14:38):
do well and it did not because it's, um it's unreadable.
Uh it's it's one of the worst things I've ever
read in my life. Uh will it compares poorly to
True Allegiance? I mean, I didn't know you went through
that whole book chapter by chapter. That sounds like t did.

(01:15:00):
It was. It was a night. It was one of
the worst things that ever happened to me. People try
to kill me. You know, this is your show, right, Like,
you can do whatever you want. You just choose to yourself.
You know what it's better than, though, is writing another
five thousand words, which I just sometimes you need a
motherfucker to chill out. You just need to chill out sometimes,

(01:15:24):
not do everything in the world. Um And anyway, So
we talked about Steven Seagal today and I don't know
about you, but I am not in love with him.
I mean I definitely learned a lot about him today.
I wasn't aware just how fucked up he was as
a human being. So he's a monster. He's one of

(01:15:45):
the worst people who's ever who's ever lived. For sure.
Definitely one of the worst Stevens out there. Maybe the
worst of the Stevens. Yeah, I would say so. I
don't know if there's other I'm sure there's a Steven
or two who helped do some genocides. Um, yeah for sure. Yeah,
it's very colonizer's name. Yeah, I'm sorry to all Stevens

(01:16:08):
out there. Please, I'm afraid of all of you. Uh
this is anti Stephen. But yeah, thanks for having me
on this this this ride. Um, I have nothing to say.
Do you have plugs? Do you have plugs? Bro? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
So I'm Sharen. I'm sure you either hate me or

(01:16:28):
love me if you're listening right now. But I'm on

wanted to be is the Joe R. Pio of fiction.
Wouldn't that be such a hilarious uh discovery if people
realize that you like wrote like Stephen Seagal and you
loved commas and stuff like. That was the big That
was That was big. That was That was big that

(01:18:00):
I've been. I've been the ghost writer for Steven Seagal
and Ben Shapiro all along. Um. Absolutely, anyway, this has
been an episode of a podcast where we read a book. Uh,
next week we'll come back and we'll do another normal episode,
So chill out. It's fine. We don't do this every week,

(01:18:20):
but my god, I'm do you hate when you do
these things? No? Actually people really like them, most people really.
There's always literally everything we do, some subset of people
will be like, this was terrible and if you keep
doing this, I'm not gonna watch it. But traffic keeps
going up, so it's like, well whatever, Like you can't
please everybody all the time, especially when you're talking about
we have like we're closing in on five million downloads

(01:18:43):
a month here, so um, some people are not. It's whatever,
it's free. You know, next week there will be another
two parter. And it's one of those things that people
don't like episodes where we do talk about a doctor.
Some people don't like the episodes where we talk about nazis.
Some people are just like, I'm here for the day.
It's like whatever, tune in when we do the episodes
you like, or tune in every week. It's all good.
I don't know and will always have an opinion and

(01:19:06):
Sam paying for the podcast, so enjoy it or not. Yeah,
something with guests, people are like every single guest. We
have multiple people will say this is the best person.
You should make them your permanent host, and other people
will say I would harm this person if I got
the chance, So yeah, yeah, yeah, what do they say?

(01:19:27):
Opinions are like assholes? Everyone has three or something? Yeah, exactly,
everyone has three assholes, the famous thing that every single person,
every single person has. But the book episodes seemed to
do really, really well, and like people like them, So yeah,
I think you're good like Reprieve, you know, like a
little lighthearted stuff. I don't know, I hope it's lighthearted.

(01:19:49):
I mean, at the very least, you can imagine Steven
Seagal getting a fucking forehead kiss from a wolf twice
like he did. And what the thing that is really
heartbreaking about this is, um, there would have there was
a chance that if this had done well, we would
have gotten a way of the Shadow Wolves movie where
Steven Seagal had to play a tall, lithe Native American

(01:20:11):
tracker getting kissed in the forehead by a wolf and
fight in the funniest thing in the world because he
can barely move now, he can barely move you watch
him in his action movies. He just sort of stumbles
in holding a gun and just stands there because again
he can barely move. Um, it's amazing. I mean, Sophie

(01:20:31):
brought up a good point that wait, wasn't someone I
don't remember who said this, but like he was already
old when he started his acting career. Action start action. Yeah,
he's mobbed up. Is why people think he got a
career in the first place. Right, is that it was
like coming launtering thing. Um. But I would love what

(01:20:52):
I actually would would want most is for Steven Seagal
to play Brett Hawthorne in the movie about True Allegiance.
Ben SAPs a certain character, but everyone else to be
like his wife to be a young woman like she's
described in the book. Um, all the terrorists to be
like these these terrifying like tactical operators and stuff, and
just Steven Seagal having to fight his way through them,

(01:21:14):
pretending to be the youngest general in US history, zases
his way through action scenes. I want that's so bad.
Crossover of a century really like Fox would love it?
Do it? Do it you cowards? Anyway, Thanks for having
me episodes over
