Trump Assassin Implicated the Secret Service In Writing & Nobody’s Talking About It

In this explosive Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins break down the shocking PS section of the Trump shooter’s manifesto — a rant that exposes jaw-dropping Secret Service and hotel security failures at a major DC event. The assassin details walking in armed, breezing past checkpoints, and being stunned by the total lack of security.

Malcolm and Simone explore how this level of incompetence could have allowed a small Iranian team to wipe out much of the Trump administration. They debunk wild leftist conspiracy theories claiming the attempt was “staged,” examine the shooter’s anti-Trump motivations, information bubbles on the left, institutional rot in the Secret Service/CIA/FBI, and why this event reveals deeper societal breakdowns.

Topics also include past assassination attempts, cultural trust, and why bureaucratic security theater keeps failing. A must-watch for anyone concerned about presidential security, deep state dysfunction, and political violence in 2026 America.

Episode Transcript

Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello, Simone. Today we are gonna go into something crazy that as far as I know, is in like our intellectual, conservative talking space we’re gonna be the first channel covering, and I am shocked that no one is talking about this.

Have you heard anything about the PS section of the Shooters manifesto?

Simone Collins: All I thought was that there were some papers found in his hotel room that expressed displeasure with some of the Trump administration’s policies. That’s it. I don’t know any, I didn’t know there was a manifesto. I didn’t know how to PS section, and I love that there was one, but tell me, it,

Malcolm Collins: it makes me believe that somebody in the secret services trying to get Trump killed.

Simone Collins: What, what,

Malcolm Collins: and we, and, and, and on top of that, if Iran had not been an incompetent country at war with itself, they very easily could have assassinated almost the entire administration at that event. So. Let’s go into it.

Simone Collins: Oh. Oh, wow. Yeah. People have been mocking the secret service for letting [00:01:00] the guy Nardo run right past them, but

on

Malcolm Collins: people haven’t been mocking the Secret Service, the guy, that’s what the PS section is about.

It’s him going, let, let’s go into it. PS Okay, now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the secret service doing? Sorry. Gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone like I expected. Security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents, every 10 feet metal detectors out the wazoo.

What I got, who knows, maybe they’re pranking. Me exclamation mark is nothing. No damn security. Not in transport, not in the hotel, not in the event. Sorry. I’m not even gonna keep going. Now, this is, this is his opposition. He is annoyed at how bad the opposition to what he is attempting to do is. By the way, if you’re a bit confused as to what this guy did, he got some guns, got on Amtrak, so on [00:02:00] transportation into dc.

Simone Collins: He took public transport into dc

Malcolm Collins: Into dc. He walks to the hotel that the event’s going to happen at. He checks in not like a week before or a month before, the day before the event.

Simone Collins: Zero. We’re all on a budget here. Look, hard economic times, he can’t just

Malcolm Collins: hard economic times. Zero. Security just chills out in his room with the guns while all the security lines are set up outside the event.

Simone Collins: Watching office reruns

Malcolm Collins: w walks down to the event when we’re gonna go because his rant isn’t over yet. By the way, people, he is like actually perplexed at the incompetence of secrets that are security. And you know, a lot of leftists have been like, oh, this was staged because. One person said, there’s gonna be some shots fired at this event.

You know, like, which was a hilarious, but wasn’t

Simone Collins: that Caroline Lovett? I think that was [00:03:00] her,

Malcolm Collins: yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, that’s a normal turn of phrase in English. And if she did know that this was going to happen, that’s the very last thing she would’ve said. Right. Like, come on, people. Or they’re like.

Noting that like Kennedy is just sort of standing there looking sort of dazed like people are, like the Kennedy’s the worst survival instincts ever. Bullets start flying. I I really sort of, it was like him and Trump, like not really caring as bullets. Trump’s sort of looking at the person next to him as the bullets are going, who’s horrified?

Speaker: first time.

Simone Collins: Oh, Malcolm. You know, I would’ve been the dude who just kept eating his dinner.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. It was like the first time look on Trump’s face, I think.

Simone Collins: Yes.

Malcolm Collins: You know, just like, oh, again. But but no, it’s, it’s, it’s I, I do not think that this was staged. This guy has a long history of being anti-Trump, of wanting to do something like this.

I. The thing that we’re gonna talk about when I get done with the manifesto is I wanna talk about how prevalent the conspiracy theories have become on the left. To an [00:04:00] extent that has really sort of transformed the nature of the left almost completely with this assassination attempt versus the others where there were some conspiracy theories, but this one’s like a complete other reality, right?

But to keep going here he goes, like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is a sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person considers a possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside, focus on protestors, current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.

Like this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets an actually competent leadership again. This is the assassin people who’s sitting here like,

Simone Collins: you know, it’s bad. Oh man.

Malcolm Collins: Get your acting gear. Like if I was an Iranian agent instead of an American citizen, [00:05:00] I could have brought a damn Mod Dee in here and no one would’ve noticed A-A-S-H-I-D actually insane.

Oh, and if anyone so think goes how this feels, it’s awful. So you can’t really say he recommends doing something like this. Stay in school kids. But yeah. By the ah, mod Juice for people are running is a Browning M two 50 caliber heavy machine gun. So now, now that I’ve read that, do you think it’s kind of weird that no one else is talking about this? So Simone, had you seen this anywhere in your feeds? I,

Simone Collins: I, all I knew was that they found some documents in this hotel room. I didn’t, I’ve not seen this anywhere. I’m shocked that we haven’t been told like anything or that I hadn’t seen.

It takes a while though for people to start commenting on stuff. So,

Malcolm Collins: so I, I want to explain how insane this is that this is the [00:06:00] case, right? This means that if I ran, had wanted to, right what this guy did, he ran past the layer one of security and was caught just outside the doors that would’ve entered the main room, right?

I,

Simone Collins: I thought he was one floor above. That was what I heard, that he was in the floor above the main ballroom.

Malcolm Collins: I had this in my notes right here, so let’s see what they say.

Not inside the ballroom. He was stopped in anelli air foyer area just past the checkpoint before reaching the ballroom doors. The incident happened at the terrace level. The main ballroom is large and subterranean one floor below in some descriptions. So if you watch what an estimates place the breach, dozens of feet to a hundred yards from the ballroom entrance.

So, you know, he was, he was he was

Simone Collins: basically, he was right by the door. We’ll just say he was right by the door.

Malcolm Collins: Right by the door. Yeah. And if you watch the video of it, a lot of guards are like, huh, look, look at that guy running by us. Is basically what you see. I mean obviously I can understand the shock at the [00:07:00] moment or something like that, but the way that security was set up, if Iran had been there, it was 12 guys, like just 12 guys, they could have easily taken out the entire security team.

Simone Collins: Yeah. And all they needed to do was just make a reservation at your friendly

Malcolm Collins: hotel. All they needed to do was make a reservation and they could have made a reservation for a lot more than 12 guys. They could have made a reservation for like 50 guys. Yeah. Come down to that floor, just started shooting.

And then they are right at where the president and most of the senior administration officials are. And they could have taken them all out.

Simone Collins: Wow.

Malcolm Collins: This requires a level of stupidity. Like what I mean by this is, okay, just think like an intelligent person for a second here, right? Mm-hmm. So you’re trying to protect the president.

You have near unlimited resources for this sort of thing. What you would do typically is have layered checkpoints further than someone can run, right? So you would go to [00:08:00] whatever hallways led to that particular checkpoint that he ran through.

Simone Collins: Yeah. Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: And you would have a checkpoint, I would expect at least three layers of checkpoints.

Simone Collins: Well, and then you would not be able to make it through a door or elevator. Yeah. Like at those checkpoints.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Yeah. But

Simone Collins: the idea that, that you would like, there would be a bunch, like a, a table, because that’s kind of what he ran by, right? Like the guys were, he ran

Malcolm Collins: through the metal detector. That was the thing where he had to start running Okay.

Is when he got to the metal detector.

Simone Collins: Okay.

Malcolm Collins: Which, and they just like let him get in line. Was everyone else. Pack in heat run through a metal detector. So what I mean here is the, the stage of incompetence, especially after what we saw at the one rally where I pointed out was that assassination attempt that the roof that the kid was on, this was Oh,

Simone Collins: in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Yes.

Malcolm Collins: It’s literally if, if you had taken

like an actual idiot to that event and you’re like, okay, it’s a video game, where would you expect an assassin to be?

Simone Collins: Right.

Malcolm Collins: There’s literally nowhere else [00:09:00] from that position that is like a raised location that would’ve had an aim on the president,

Simone Collins: the gently sloped roof that you can easily climb to.

Malcolm Collins: Yes. And when, that’s why no one was there. They go, but it was gently sloped like an agent could roll off of it with our current safety

Simone Collins: system, it, it’s a falling hazard.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Do you know how rotund our agents are? You put them on any sort of an incline plane and they just start rolling. I mean, I saw some of those DEI hires from back then.

Ah, yeah. But the point is, is like we apparently have not corrected the situation with the Secret Service. And this is a very, very, very big deal. And I’m not going to like, go further than to be like was something Now people could say, well then the Trump administration did it to lure an assassin or something like that.

This seems unlikely for. A few reasons. One is I, so like, let’s go over Leftist conspiracy series. Yeah. One is they said that he was a Mossad [00:10:00] agent. Mo Moad basically has Trump in their pockets. Why on earth are they sending an agent to kill Trump? Right.

Simone Collins: And also, when Mossad wants you done, you’re done.

I, I don’t know how else to put it.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. But, but, well, I mean, the US president presumably would be harder, but apparently not. But even worse than that, who among the White House officials is the individual who most wants to pull outta the war was Iran. Oh yeah. The next in line to be president JD Vance.

Simone Collins: Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: Killing Trump is literally the stupidest thing Mossad could do even if they did want to do something like that. So it’s clearly not Mossad. Oh my God. But they’ve, they’ve also been like, oh, it’s the Trump administration to use as justification for the new ballroom. Look. One, Trump can build the new ballroom.

Whatever the, you guys think it’s gonna happen now because that wing of the White House was demolished, right? They’re not gonna leave a giant thing hole in the White House, are you?

Simone Collins: Oh, they’re trying. No, there was some judge that was like, well, you can’t keep working on the foundation. They’re, they’re really trying [00:11:00] to stop it.

I, I guess they just want the gaping hole to be there forever. But clearly it’s needed like, as much as, okay, always be closing Trump. I get it. But also he has a very valid point in that the, the security of. President’s right now is, is lax according to the asse, don’t ask me. Asco would be assassin.

Malcolm Collins: ASCO would be assassin moldering in his room about like, you know, when we get a competent president again, I, he

Simone Collins: really better finish that ballroom.

He basically said thats,

Malcolm Collins: he basically, well, okay, no, that puts me on this. He was about the ballroom again. Trump hired the assassin and he’s like, make it the

Simone Collins: ballroom

Malcolm Collins: and make sure you put a little ad for the ballroom at the end. Oh my god. About how incompetent the hotel security is. But no, this ballroom, but no, the, the, the I do not think I wanna get into like the leftist crash because I heard a bunch of people are saying it’s fake and I’m like, that sounds crazy, but [00:12:00] Okay.

It’s not that President Trump is above staging an assassination attempt. I do not think that he is. Nor is it that the CIA or FBI couldn’t stage an assassination attempt. It’s that the CIA and FBI are clearly at odds with Trump right now. Like so they’re not Oh, absolutely. They hate each other.

Remember during the last cycle, there was the leak of the texts of people was in the CIA saying they would do anything they could to prevent Trump from being elected.

Simone Collins: Oh.

Malcolm Collins: Like when we talk about this, I

Simone Collins: figure those people have been purged. You know,

Malcolm Collins: this point I, no, I mean, those individual ones have, but I’ve heard that this, this attitude is so prevalent throughout these institutions that they now do actively, like, in abs to join.

Like as a gay Latina I thought I would be welcome at, oh,

Simone Collins: I thought that was Biden era stuff.

Malcolm Collins: Oh yeah. But like, that shouldn’t be put out by the CIA go. They hired people through that and they haven’t let them [00:13:00] all go. Right. Like it, the, the, the urban monoculture is very good at capturing these types of bureaucracies.

Yeah. Okay. Even within like administration officials when I talk about the, the faction of the Republican party that I find quite dangerous, the Deontological faction The. Whatever you wanna call it. The Romanist faction and is quite at odds with our value set. They have a very deep control of the Republican side of the deep state.

And they hate Trump as well. Like they’re very, very anti-Trump generally speaking. And it was because, and this is why they’re all like moldering about Trump’s alliance with Israel and bombing of Iran and stuff like that, and being like, you know, MAGA is dead and what they mean, we did a longer episode on this that we haven’t done live because it, the timing didn’t work out.

But what they really meant when they said that is CPEC is our ability to control MAGA is dead. Uh mm-hmm. Because he. Put people, at least within his administration, who don’t listen to people like that, who he got through, like Founder’s Fund instead of the traditional Republican captured Republican [00:14:00] institutions, Uhhuh.

But okay. Outside of that the, the, these institutions do not like Trump enough to coordinate with him on something like this. And Trump’s own team does not seem competent enough to organize something like this without it leaking. They look, Trump can coordinate with things like the military when they have a common aim like Venezuela or something like that.

But coordinating with a military filled with individuals that don’t really like Trump that much on a fake assassination plot, that seems fairly implausible, especially if you’re converting somebody who has like signaled that they were a leftist pretty much their entire life.

Simone Collins: Mm-hmm.

Malcolm Collins: . I was saying also if I was the administration, and this was the way I was putting this together, they’re like, well, what if the administration purposely has made secret society secret service really bad to sort of like bait an attack on them.

It’s like this attack came way too close to killing potentially a lot of [00:15:00] people. Right? Like, if he had gotten through those doors, like

Simone Collins: he had, you’re right. I guess he probably would’ve not just gone straight for,

Malcolm Collins: well, he

Simone Collins: didn’t, he have a long range.

Malcolm Collins: He rifle, he explicit. He, he explicitly said, I don’t remember.

I know he had at least a, I think it was a pistol and a rifle, that he wanted to kill his knee administration officials as he could. And he was gonna choose in order of how high profile they were.

Simone Collins: Okay. So, oh, oh.

Malcolm Collins: So, yeah, no, he was just going to kill, like, I’m, I’m just gonna get as many of ‘em as I can.

Simone Collins: Oh, see, I just figured he was just going for, for just the president. No, but he was just gonna, oh,

Malcolm Collins: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He wanted to turn the place into a shooting gallery. Anyone he could recognize the moment he recognized him, basically.

Simone Collins: That’s a little delusional. I mean, one person,

Malcolm Collins: what

Simone Collins: did he, I mean, that’s one person.

Did he really think, I mean, he, he was a mechanical engineer. He was quite educated. Presumably he was able to think through the fact that there was abundance. And once you get in the room, like. [00:16:00] The president is still surrounded by heavily armed men who would immediately shoot him.

Malcolm Collins: Well, I mean, from his perspective, the president and the administration was constantly killing civilians.

Is specifically what he was like. The thing that he was really upset about was the taking out the gunboats you know, which, remember the boats that Trump was taking out? The Venezuelan Yeah. Fishing boats.

Simone Collins: Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: And, and that, you know, from everything I’ve seen about that, it seems pretty open and shut, that they are definitely drug boats, right?

Like if they were fishermen as. Eh, the left keeps saying, presumably you could find like their families or something to go on TV and cry about how their fishermen, husbands were killed. And yet this hasn’t happened.

Simone Collins: Hey, drug runners have families too, Malcolm sensitive,

Malcolm Collins: right? But they seem less likely to go up and on TV about it, right?

If, if my husband was actually a fisherman and the United States actually like gunned down [00:17:00] his boat I would try to call like CNN or M-S-N-B-C. And if I were CNN or MSN bbc, I would take that call in a hot second, right? Like, it seems completely implausible to me that these people aren’t drug runners.

Given that, i, I love, people are gonna like, the, the leftists always do this. They’re like, you don’t understand Malcolm. People in Latin America are retarded and don’t know how to use phones and don’t know how to use technology. And I’m like, sorry. As somebody who lived like halftime,

Simone Collins: oh, just like black voters couldn’t possibly bring an ID to vote.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah.

Simone Collins: They don’t know how to get an id.

Malcolm Collins: Latin Americans are very technologically competent. I think

Simone Collins: well often, they’re often more tech forward than many Americans.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Yeah. I I think what’s a, the cell phone presentation is like,

Simone Collins: Venezuelan’s out of necessity adopted crypto way before Americans out.

Malcolm Collins: Oh, yeah, yeah. They’re crypto stuff in Peru is fantastic. Right.

Simone Collins: They’re not even crypto bros. They’re just like, they were born in the crypto. Like, it’s not even a thing. They’re just like, obviously my, I’m gonna pay you in like [00:18:00] USDC.

Malcolm Collins: I, I, I, I love this leftist perspective of like, Latin Americans as like half human, half animal, incapable.

I think an

Simone Collins: culture, the progressive left treats pretty much any of its favored or protected groups like that. Like, well, obviously, you know, they’re, they’re very dumb.

Malcolm Collins: Pat, pat on the head, like the end of that song. Wonderful country, beautiful people.

Simone Collins: Yes, exactly

Malcolm Collins: what’s talking about Peruvians. You know, just, yeah.

Speaker 2: I was in Africa in Tasna I saw this woman, Malaria And she looked at me with this vacant stare As if to say, despite our differences, you and reminds me of this time, oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. I was in South America. In Prague. Prague. No. Pura [00:19:00] darling, Pura. Peru. Oh yeah, Pura, Pura, yeah.

Wonderful country, you know, beautiful people, yeah. Um, yeah, I knew. We were drinking in the Andes, and the sun was just rising and glinting off the snow, creating a sort of ethereal haze. And I really got a sense of the awesome power of nature and the insignificance of man. And then I just shuddered.

Everywhere.

Simone Collins: Yeah, I mean, there’s very little inherent respect for their, you know, ability to,

Malcolm Collins: and, and I love the conservative, like, Hey, Latin Americans are pretty smart. They can figure this stuff out if somebody randomly murdered their family. Like, come on man. Like, but anyway, completely implausible. But that’s, you know, so his perspective is, well, I’ve gotta do anything because this government represents me and they’re out there killing random civilians left and right.

You know, he’s in a complete information bubble. But what I think this attack has shown is how much of the left is in a complete [00:20:00] information bubble. Mm-hmm. Specifically the number of people who said like, this was obviously staged. One, it just seems completely implausible to me that this was staged.

But two, in addition to just, just, I’m, I’m, I’m just looking at like motivations of the people who could have staged it. The most likely person to have staged it. If, if somebody could have staged it, motive means an opportunity would’ve been Putin. But nobody wants to admit that he’s actually the person.

Let,

Simone Collins: let wait, just walk me through the, I guess, dumb leftist take on this is, this is staged, so this guy, the, the Secret Service and, and Trump and this guy could have coordinated. All in an attempt to both boost polling numbers, which are low for Trump right now, leading into the midterms because this, well, they’re actually not particularly low

Malcolm Collins: for se, for a second term president’s first cycle leading into

Simone Collins: midterm.

I know they’re not, but I mean, maybe he wants to look good to go into the midterms or something and they’re not great. So that, and

Malcolm Collins: actually they’ve gone up [00:21:00] since the beginning of the war in Iran. They’re, they’re like, sell

Simone Collins: the

Malcolm Collins: ballrooms. Simone. Actually, this is, sorry, you keep repeating something that’s factually wrong, but a lot of leftists keeps saying, yeah.

Speaker 3: So for context, this to what I’m talking about here, , Trump’s second term approval has been hanging around 44% versus 40 to 41% during this time in his first term, which is insane to be more popular in your second term. . If you look at recent presidential numbers, Obama in his second term was around 41%, so lower than Trump, Bush, 38% at comparable moments.

Speaker 4: For more context. Right now, the Democratic Party Unfavorability rating is at historic highs, 64% versus 33.9% see them favorably. If you look at even Obama, who was historically popular in his second term, the Republican said a 34% favorability rating, so higher than the Democrats right now. .

Malcolm Collins: Trump’s polling numbers have gone up since the beginning of the war in Iran. And they are [00:22:00] unusually good for a president at this part in the presidential cycle. The left wants to keep like freaking out and moldering about how bad the numbers are, but when you compare his numbers to democratic favorability right now they’re unusually good.

Not

Simone Collins: unusual. That’s stupid. They should be saying that instead of that his numbers are low because yes, I’m just parroting what leftists are saying. But two. The best way to drive turnout is to be like, we seriously need to fight back. They’re beginning to win. And if we don’t take this seriously, we’ll lose big time.

And they’re acting like it’s gonna be a bloodbath in the midterms, and it’s a, it’s a given. So that seems like a really stupid tactic. But anyway, that’s a narrative and he’s trying to sell his ballroom. So in theory he coordinates with this guy and with the Secret Service, and I mean, keep in mind, this guy did not get killed.

This guy did not get hurt. And he doesn’t have that much of an online footprint. And the Secret Service also. Nobody got hurt. One guy was shot at, but in a [00:23:00] very, very good bulletproof vest. So he’s fine.

Malcolm Collins: So let, let’s talk about this. He does have a long and, and, but, but not like super extensive online footprint.

He does have an online footprint. He has been a leftist activist for a long time. Two. The evidence because I decided to go to an AI and see what’s the, like full leftist argument as to why this was set up how a lone gunman was a manifesto got as far as he did as a hotel guest. I think that this is more an indictment that somebody was in the Secret Service is trying to get Trump killed than that Trump would allow that because Trump could have actually gotten killed, right?

Trump’s calm demeanor and quick evacuation of others. The evacuation actually seemed fairly slow given the severity of the situation. Yeah. And Trump’s calm demeanor, bro. This is like his force assassination attempt at this point. At this point, the, the pirate to the Caribbean meme of first time when he’s looking to the person next to him kind of makes sense.

In addition, when there has been an assassination against Trump in the past, he [00:24:00] has not reacted with panic. I mean, famously, the after he got his ear partially fight, fight, blown off the fight, fight, fight thing if anything you think that he would if this was preplanned, do some sort of a staged fight, fight, fight or something like that, like that looks more preplanned than this.

Like at least milk it if you’re gonna preplan it, right?

Simone Collins: Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: Next pre. Pre-event comets, specifically here, Caroline Levitt’s phrasing, you would never do phrase it like that if you knew this was gonna happen and you were trying to hide it. Yeah. And then rapid pivot to political messaging instead of pure shock or grief.

What, what time? This is the forced assassination attempt. Do you know like what republicans, like the world we’re living in right now, you Democrats haven’t had this happen. And the thing that all the Republicans keep mentioning is the Democrats who are like, nobody would actually attempt to assassinate the president or engineer for his assassination to be easy as I’m suggesting they might have done at the same time.

In the next phrase they’ll say, and someone should assassinate the [00:25:00] president. Right? Like,

Simone Collins: well that’s because democratic presidents are really part of a bureaucratic deep state coalition. If you were to kill any president recently in, in sort of democratic. Like, if you were to kill Biden, it would matter, right?

Because he was being puppeted by a series of people and it would’ve been basically meaningless.

Malcolm Collins: No, no, no, no, no. The, the levels of calls to violent from the left don’t mirror anything that the right did, even when they believe that the election was unfairly stolen against Biden. I, I have regularly on talk shows, like after this one.

It was on I can’t remember. One of the only remaining talk shows where the guy was making a standup routine about how you know. Oh, or, or what do we call Trump now, but a target,

Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at so beautiful Mrs. Trump. You have a glow, like an expectant widow, you know?

Malcolm Collins: right? Like, you know,

Simone Collins: oh good Lord,

Malcolm Collins: we’re seeing [00:26:00] destiny make a joke about he wants to see people stop, quote unquote trying to kill the president.

You know, mainstream figures on the left are saying like, this is good. This should happen. Why do they keep failing? And it has become mainstream on the left to say that this is fake. Mm-hmm. But what’s really interesting to me is what’s the second part of this? Which is in saying that it’s fake, they often attempt to say, and we know that the two other assassination attempts.

Actually been four other assassination attempts because they’re forgetting about the two Iranian attempts that were foiled earlier in their pipeline before somebody actually got to shooting. But the, the, oh no, there was the other one on the, the lawn. Remember when the, he was at the golf course and there was, yeah, so

Simone Collins: there was the, the, the golf course one Butler, Pennsylvania, and then this one.

Malcolm Collins: Oh yeah, four. Four. Because

Simone Collins: I guess an Iranian

Malcolm Collins: golf course in Butler, Pennsylvania were not the two Iranian attempts.

Simone Collins: Oh, okay. Oh,

Malcolm Collins: so, so the, those,

Simone Collins: that’s five. That’s [00:27:00] five total.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Okay. So anyway so I think we’re trying to figure out how many assassinated, I don’t remember any on Biden, by the way. I don’t remember any on Obama.

I don’t remember any on Clinton. I, I think we need to be honest here that there is a problem in terms of calls to violence on the left. And yet recently as McGold did a clip on this and I was mortified a, a guy was being questioned by the FBI for in cell posting, you know, saying that like, he wanted violence against women.

Where you regularly see women on Twitter posting, they want violence against men. You know, like kill all men and stuff like that is practically a slogan on the left. It’s like you have to say something extreme and Right. Is to have anyone investigate you. ‘cause these organizations are so deeply institutionally captured.

Mm-hmm. And that’s why I think if I was Trump. One of the next things I might do is just shut down and reform the Secret Service, or shut down and reform C-I-A-F-B-I. You know, let me tell you what the right’s gonna be. Pretty happy if you do that. Our army is doing a pretty good job right [00:28:00] now. Our Marines, our Navy, our Air Force, let’s split something out of them to become a new secret service arm, a new CIA arm.

And just admit that the institutional NSA as well, that these organizations are corrupt beyond redemption at this point, because they had been operating outside of the public light. And like Trump should have known this when people was in those organizations, said that they were gonna try to prevent him from being elected, right?

Like, that should have been the sign of, oh, this is what we’re seeing on the surface of the iceberg. How deep did the iceberg go? But my point here being is they keep saying that these previous attempts were all right. Wing advocates that Butler was a rightwing advocate, that Tyler was a right wing advocate.

And like, if you have looked into these to any extent at this point, you now know they were both far leftist. You know, one was literally deeply dating a trans person, which is not something a right-wing advocate is often going to do. Right. And wrote about why he wanted to do this, which again to his [00:29:00] trans partner.

And the other one people have accused him of being furry. He does not appear to have actually been a furry, but he does appear to have been a gooner. And he does appear to have been a, a real weirdo and far leftist who the FBI appeared to them to cover up and like, this is what I’m talking about, like FBI in the Secret Service, when they said like, we don’t have a lot of information on this guy.

This guy’s a ghost online. And literally like random people are liter able to find his dvn art accounts and give them to Alex Jones and or who did they give those to? This was. Tucker Carlson, I think, broke this one.

Simone Collins: He did? Oh

Malcolm Collins: yeah. Back when people still trusted Tucker Carlson to back before Mossad poison him.

By the way, if you don’t know, our conspiracy theory drop on this, I, I actually might do a whole video on the plausibility of our Mossad poisoning theory. So it goes like this, if you haven’t heard it, every time a mainstream figure begins to question Israel funding Israel, anything like that within like two to three years, they start going completely off the reservation and making random insane [00:30:00] takes.

Like we’ve seen from Nick Fuentes against the IRN War, you know, wanting the United States to lose Tucker Carlson. You know, you could see our whole video on the crazy stuff. He said Candace Owens would completely n her bananas when she used to be really cogent and interesting. And like when I look at these three figures, the pattern of Zahi and these three figures, like, I’m gonna be honest, this isn’t like a joke conspiracy theory in my brain anymore.

They seem to be saying stuff that is so off the reservation. It like breaks plausibility for me. I’m like because like even Nick Fuentes, somebody. Recently was like, whoa. And I mentioned this last time episode. They’re like, well, as Nick Gold said that he agrees with Nick Fuentes on 99% of things.

Like, what do you think of that? And I was like, yeah, there was definitely a time when I felt that way too, right? Like Nick Fuentes didn’t used to be this crazy. He’s definitely had a some form of psychotic break or something. I think it’s really been made apparent since the beginning of the Iran War in his very anti-America stance that he’s now taking.

Mm-hmm. In a sense it’s like [00:31:00] really clearly against American long-term interests. And or like the pro Venezuela, like Tucker comments and stuff like that. Like, oh, there are good ally in the region. ‘cause they also kill gay people. Like any conservative cares about that anymore like I was, I’ve, I’m like, those aren’t like normal saying thing, but to see our individual videos on that.

But I guess, I guess the point I’m making here is I originally threw that conspiracy theory out as a joke, but the more I think about it, oh no, is it happening to me? The more I’m like. But they do have the technology for it, and they probably could easily gain access. Oh, no. And it would be a coherent strategy to discredit people who think that we should stop giving Israel tons of money every year.

And it would definitely, probably be worse, the cost benefit trade off in terms of the amount of money. I mean, it’s, it’s not a ton of money as we pointed out in previous videos. It’s like about the amount we give to like Egypt and Jordan combined. Right? Like, and you don’t hear people complaining about that, but it still would be like financially beneficial to keep it up.

I mean, it’s [00:32:00] weird that we’re giving it to a first world country, but like before we question that, we should probably be questioning the astronomically more that we give to nato.

Like Trump’s not insane to say we should think about pulling out a nato, but that’s for set video.

Simone Collins: Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: Anyway thoughts, Simone?

Simone Collins: I, I, I wanna see how this unfolds with time. Like, I wanna see how the trial goes. I, I wanna see if this just becomes something that we just collectively forget. That’s my first expectation, honestly, is just that this is gonna blow over and people are gonna forget about it. And is, this is just the normal now and no one’s going to treat this like a big deal, even though it is.

So I’m a little worried that that’s what it is. But it, it is, it is baffling how on, on the one hand, people are talking about Palantir having all this really. Impressive tech and ability [00:33:00] to, can we replace the CIA

Malcolm Collins: and NSA with Palantir?

Simone Collins: I mean, well, right. Like, it’s just how, how can that be a thing?

And yet there are people who just get extremely close to the president and the entire leading administration with multiple guns and knives and plans to take them out. It, it seems implausible to me.

It’s just sad too though that like a society is broken down enough where this is just normative.

Whereas in the past, you know, what was it? It was Andrew Jackson basically threw a rager at the White House after he won. Right? Like people, I think he jumped out a window to get away from everyone. Eventually they just trashed the place. He had that giant wheel of cheese. Yeah, very. He

was

Malcolm Collins: the first president from the backwoods cultural group, which is our cultural group.

Very backwood thing to do. Like, let’s throw a rager at the White House and

Simone Collins: jump on. We’re probably not getting all the details right, but like people would just show up. Like it was, it was a house. And [00:34:00] it was less secure than most of the houses now with like their ring cams and everything else.

Malcolm Collins: Well, you know, maybe be, maybe, maybe we as a country were, we were not, and I, I point out to people ‘cause people get this really wrong.

We were not particularly more. Culturally homogenous than we were now. The Quaker backwoods cavalier and Puritan cultural groups that existed in the 13 colonies were dramatically more different from each other than, for example, American culture is from Latin American culture. But what was the case is that those cultural groups we’re all trustworthy to each other.

Mm-hmm. Like for example, if we land in like a bunch of Japanese immigrants, I’m not worried about them shooting me on the street or something like that. Like they may be culturally different from me but they are from a culture that I trust. Whereas we are letting in people from cultures that I do not trust.

And I think that it’s important to recognize that as an American, like not every outsider, doesn’t work within the multicultural American system, but [00:35:00] some outside cultures do not work within the multicultural American system. And when we pretend that everyone doesn’t, then we just look sort of crazy, right?

Like, obviously there are groups that can perfectly well you know, integrated leaflet, for example is, is ethnically Japanese and has perfectly integrated into American culture. From everything I’ve seen, like I I I, I do not think that we benefit from just kicking out everyone who’s not one of the original cultures.

But we need to be aware that like we have materially changed things by letting in groups that are, you know, that create these sort of externalities. I mean, have created this sort of hive the, the urban monoculture also didn’t exist, and the urban monoculture seems to be able to completely cook people’s brains.

The thing that I was trying to. Like synthesize that has changed between this and other assassination attempts Is everybody saying really untrue stuff? But like at a really high level now, like that all the previous assassination attempts were . Right. [00:36:00] Is is just so on. Its face untrue.

And yet I see this a ubiquitous opinion on Reddit. I see it as ubiquitous opinion on X. Even within some like. Griper circles like the infiltrated parts of like the right wing which I think more shows that these are bad actors. And I think what this shows is on the left, in the groups that have allied themselves with the urban monoculture, whether it’s the groupers or the far leftists there is no longer an interest in even being adjacent to truth.

Like, like it’s no longer even like I want to hedge, so like a reasonable person isn’t gonna call me out. There’s now almost this sort of cachet with like blatantly being unaware of reality. And I think that, or, or signaling that you’re unaware of reality almost to a tip to manifest this alternate world framework.

And there is no call out, no internal, like, Hey, you make us look stupid when you say things like every other assassin was right wing. Or all of the attempts were [00:37:00] obviously staged. Yeah. That, that, that is, is a change that I’m noticing, and I think it’s one where we need to understand that our enemy and the force that we are collectively fighting against has transformed into something holistically more nefarious than it was in the past.

Simone Collins: Hmm. Yeah. It’s, it’s dark. I, I, I, I don’t,

Malcolm Collins: I,

Simone Collins: I don’t, I guess maybe it was a short term odd period where things were cohesive and people trusted each other, and that this idea of a cohesive, high-trust society was just never gonna last. Though it still exists in places like Japan. I just, it’s, it’s kind of dark to think that that’s how things used to be, but we don’t, we don’t get to see that.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Well, it’s, it is not in Japan anymore. They let in a bunch of immigrants and Japanese people are freaking out. But I think in, in Japan they’re a bit more ruthless in how they ultimately deal with things like this. [00:38:00] So, you know, I, I don’t know if I’d wanna be one of those immigrants in a generation or so because yeah, Japan has a history.

Okay. And they, they all have

Simone Collins: history.

Malcolm Collins: They, they, no, no, no, no. They have a history. But like, they relate to it differently. You go to Germany and you’re like, oh, what do you think about like, the atrocity in the war? And they will bend over backwards to be like, oh, it’s so horrible. I can’t believe we did that.

What, what nightmares. And you go to Japan and you go like, what are you think? And they go, well, first of all, that was a war of aggression by the United States against Japan. That’s the way it’s taught in the Japanese school system. And, they, they, and if you’re like, how could they possibly teach it that way if they bombed Pearl Harbor first?

And they’ll say, well, the United States was Blockading Japan. Which put them in an existential situation that forced them to bomb Pearl Harbor. And they then say, and all that medical experimentation some of our groups did, and all the grapes they did, I mean, that was normal for war. And then, yeah, we still think about it.

I mean, I’ve seen the anime gate. They did, they, they plan when they go [00:39:00] conquer some of these countries to pick up a fu Wi Fus along the way.

That’s still very part of Japanese culture. They may not frame it as grape, but you know. GA game. We, we don’t have there is no equivalent us movie I’m aware of where we go to war and whenever we kill somebody, we pick up their wives in our harem.

Like that is a, that is a very unique, I I am, no, I’m like, genuinely. Even Vietnam War where like prostitution and marrying American soldiers was, was, was somewhat common. Mm-hmm. I’m not aware of that many wars where like somebody goes out war movies in the US that are very like gung-ho, like all happy and then end up with a big harem coming back to the United States.

But that’s the plot of Gate, by the way, way. Mind you wait. Are you unfamiliar with this anime? Ha hasn’t even been criticized by the way. No one in Japan has been like, it’s a bad thing that gate, especially given our history in wars, frames war this way.

Simone Collins: God, [00:40:00] well, back on the topic of the correspondence, dinner shooting, you know, the, the friend from college that I mentioned and I was like, oh, she was probably there.

She was at, she was not just there, but I just found video she took when she was there. ‘cause she was there, she was at the head table. And there’s video of just like, what’s really interesting and I sent you a link. You can look at the video that she took. Okay. What’s really weird is that it’s super clear.

People don’t really know how to respond. Like a lot of people are crouched and acting panicked, whereas other people are just kind of like sitting there and chatting. And is

Malcolm Collins: she, wait, is, are we allowed to post this in the video?,

Speaker 5: Where’s it at?

Get out. Get out. Get [00:41:00] out.

Simone Collins: It’s just super clear that she, people just don’t know how to act. And like, there’s, there’s one guy with fancy go, well, a couple guys with fancy goggles and like big guns pointing, and like a lot of people with cool military equipment running around.

But people are very clearly just absolutely clueless as to what to do. I, I really think this is in, in, in a post. Societal co a societal cohesion phase of America that it just makes so much more sense to have an uber secure reinforced ballroom for parties.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Also, keep in mind when I talk about the Iranian Strat that they could have used, another one they could have used is just bring in a bunch of bomb material and just put it like a few floors above or below this.

Simone Collins: Yeah. ‘cause I’m looking at this room and I’m looking at all these people here, and I’m just thinking like this, this really does look very not secure. At all. At all. I’m seeing all these doors. I’m seeing [00:42:00] some, some people kind of maybe getting rushed out like this. This could have been a, I, I’d like

Malcolm Collins: to say to this leftist assassin, do you now see how incompetent government bureaucratic structures can be and why we don’t want to give them more power?

Simone Collins: This, this is why we need the Trump administration.

Malcolm Collins: This is why we need Doge. This is why we need the Trump administration anyway. Love you, Simone.

Simone Collins: Also like the, the, the glasses and dinnerware there. Just look like, you know, bad hotel conference, dinnerware and you know, Trump would make it fancy. He wouldn’t do that.

He wouldn’t do them dirty like that.

Malcolm Collins: Be,

Simone Collins: I’d be nice. I love

Malcolm Collins: rfs. Like tweet after this is like, I’m really hungry. Like him just looking around sad that he’s not getting his

Simone Collins: meal. That’s why that one dude just kept eating that. I, I’m, I think a lot of people just really identify with that guy, that they would be that person, like look.

They didn’t, whoever’s coming didn’t come for me. I’m just gonna finish my dinner. That’s like Asman Gold. When he talked about this was talking about like the two instances in which he had had a gun pulled on him or something, or a gun was in his, [00:43:00] like in the area and someone had shown up to, I think Emory’s dream or something, or I can’t remember exactly what it was, but he just like walked out and just walked away.

Passed the guy with the gun, but just decided to stay like six feet away and out of his aggro zone as he put it, I’m like, yeah,

Malcolm Collins: his aggro zone.

Simone Collins: Just like just, I just fed up with this. Like I’m not, I’m just not gonna participate in this to just walked past him and away from the situation and yeah, that was the guy eating the food.

Just like, look, just let me eat my food. I can super relate.

Malcolm Collins: Well, I love you es Simone. Me too. And crazy World out there. Somebody died just in front of our house last night or the night?

Simone Collins: Last night.

Malcolm Collins: Last night, yeah. A car crash and we’re on a busy road.

Simone Collins: Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: People need to, so, you know, you could die at any moment.

Make the most of your life. People.

Simone Collins: Yeah. Guys, please, please be careful out there. Okay. Love you Malcolm.

Malcolm Collins: And, and you’ve made the most of my life, Simone, so thank you for that. If I don’t, let’s not. And I would say that I was satisfied with my life. It was because of Simone.

Simone Collins: Okay. Don’t, don’t say [00:44:00] that because let’s be very clear someone mentioned, commented this on, on the video you ran today.

We are not depressed.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. We are not depressed. I’m not questioning things about Israel.

Simone Collins: So yeah. Okay. We’ll just end with that. Bye.

Malcolm Collins: Bye. any fun in news today? Hopefully the episode didn’t cause too much of a riot.

Simone Collins: No, no. Nobody disagreed with it. Aside from people being like, it’s not going to work. So that’s so, oh,

Malcolm Collins: micro post solution.

Simone Collins: Yeah, that, like, they would never do that. I mean, some people rightfully pointed out, and I think this was

my whole setup, went weird. Some people pointed out that the way that Judaism worked before was there were all these, you know, isolated [00:45:00] Jewish communities and being. Rejected from one would be really meaningful. It was like being thrown out of your village, like your livelihood, your family, your support network.

All of it was gone. Now

Malcolm Collins: there really isn’t that much

Simone Collins: pain experienced by anyone who runs against it. Like even if, even in the past when that practice was common and people weren’t thrown out for bad behavior, it was too easy because Jewish communities were so decentralized for bad actors to just leave one and show up at another and not necessarily face super negative repercussions from rejection.

This is not to say that this,

Malcolm Collins: This is why Jews used to have such a negative stigma against Bal Shim because that’s what they often did, is they would move between communities when they were kicked out of one.

Simone Collins: I think that’s the word that someone used, actually. Yes.

Malcolm Collins: And, and yeah, no, actually very fascinating that you [00:46:00] do see a lot of these institutions really begin to permanently die off with the mul from top.

And as I’ve said like historically, people know my stance on this. I think he’s like the negative inflection point in Jewish history.

Simone Collins: Wow.

Malcolm Collins: Where things really begin to fall apart. But you can go to our other writings on that. I don’t wanna get too into it. But yeah, I, I think you have a point There is this, this distrust.

So many things that Jewish communities used to have that they really transformed over the ages. But I, I think that there are still some interdenominational religious rabbinic councils mm-hmm. Within Judaism for deciding on specific rules like what a, what, what’s, like the Jewish take on abortion or something like that.

Like right now, Uhhuh. And I think one of these councils could establish a secondary council that focuses on secular matters for the protection of the wider Jewish community, right. Even to explicitly call out some sub sex or something like that. You know, [00:47:00] like this group is doing x in a bad way, so that there would be some inter Judaism shame for action that leads to negative externalities on sort of reputation for a sect even, or an individual.

And it, it, it’s, it’s, the reason I mentioned the history of it is because at least you would’ve a historical reason for setting something like that up.

Simone Collins: Yeah. Another thing that people pointed out was my utter ignorance about the Anti-Defamation League. I didn’t, I didn’t know about its founding story.

I didn’t know why it was created and by whom. I thought it was just to. Be against defamation. I didn’t, I didn’t think about it. I also, like, I figured that if there was some group that was just about like protecting a single group’s reputation, it might be the, like protect the Jewish reputation league.

Malcolm Collins: I, I’d also note that there is I saw in the [00:48:00] comments something that it first seemed very reasonable to me and then I thought about it more and I was like, actually that doesn’t really work as a analogy because I was pointing out that almost no group seems to protect their bad actors. Like the Christians don’t like, no, no group of Christians I’m aware of.

Simone Collins: It was an issue with trans. We talked about that more prominently.

Malcolm Collins: Well, but yeah, the trans community does where, you know, you get actual like sex PEs and people will defend them.

Simone Collins: Yeah.

Malcolm Collins: But you don’t, you don’t get this with most ethnic groups. So one example

Simone Collins: actually, someone pointed out in the comments that this was actually a really big thing that happened with the black community and with hip hop music that a lot of, a lot of people in, in the early ages of hip hop were like, this is bad. We don’t like this as an influence. And that actually, apparently, according to this person, a lot of even famous hip hop artists now, were like, yeah, I regret promoting certain things. Yeah. And or this lifestyle also. I was reading that comment while listening to this four hour takedown of Tyler Perry by this one guy, and he was talking about, I think, how did he word it?

Small C conservative black [00:49:00] men especially. And how like, they’re not conservative like Republicans, they’re conservatives, like, pull your pants up, like dress neatly, et cetera.

Malcolm Collins: Okay. What, who’s Tyler Perry?

Simone Collins: Tyler, he’s like a prolific director and actor and writer.

Malcolm Collins: Is he black?

Simone Collins: He’s the one, yeah, he’s black.

He’s the one who like makes all those, those comedies where he dresses. Oh, I’m so sorry. Dresses like a fat woman. Like madina.

Malcolm Collins: Anyway, what, what was the point of your comment on

Simone Collins: this? The point was the black there’s, there’s a really established history of black Americans being like, we need to show.

Our best example and actually, actually attacking bad, sorry, bad actors within their community and being like,

Malcolm Collins: yeah. The, the other, but the, the one community I’m aware of that does actively do this, other than trans and Jews are Romani Romani are famous for doing this protecting bad actors.

And obviously they’ve earned you know, an equal stigma to Jewish people, right? Like they

Simone Collins: were, oh, so, oh, protecting, not attacking, but protecting,

Malcolm Collins: protecting, bad act known bad actors within their community that victimize outsiders. The, the one [00:50:00] counter example that somebody. Mentioned, and it doesn’t work really.

And I’ll explain why it doesn’t work. Is there like, well, like conservatives do this, right? Like political parties do this, like the, the, the, the, the conservative movement will sometimes protect people when they’re acting like bad actors. This would be an example like Donald Trump doing things like, it could be seen as like scams or like sexually predatory.

This is actually a very different phenomenon. This is when a group protects the bad actions of the group’s institutional leadership. And you actually see this across, almost. Every group. So a good example would be like Mormons. I’m not aware of any examples of Mormons protecting bad actors who were low level people, but they absolutely went to bat for Joseph Smith when he was obviously a bad actor.

They absolutely went to bat for Brigham Young when he did things that were obviously bad actor things. You, you see this in the Catholic community for example, when there were institutional higher ups who were griping people they institutionally [00:51:00] went to bat to cover it up. People can say, whoa, why do, why do institutions so often protect higher up bad actors rather than regular bad actors?

And it’s because they lose institutional power and momentum if they allow their higher ups to be swept out of power. So if you demand moral purity from your higher ups and you don’t. Put some effort into protecting them. Like imagine if, like we, as a conservative movement wiped out every leader as soon as a scandal was found on them, right?

Like you wouldn’t be able to build up a movement really easily or stay in power very easily. And no, you see this in Jewish history as well. A lot of the Jewish leaders during the periods when Jews did punish bad actors like if you go back to, you know, some of the leaders from, from biblical period were demonstrably bad actors.

You know, be they, you know, king David for example, right? And I, I don’t think that that’s, that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m not talking about Jews ignoring when their kings did bad things. Everybody ignores when their kings [00:52:00] do bad things. I’m talking about Jews going to help people who are, you know, regular members or low level communities who have been caught doing something bad.

That’s actually incredibly unique to the only three communities I’m aware of that do it are Jews, romanis and trance.

Simone Collins: Yeah. And that’s like the case that people pointed out with the, the sort of founding case of the Anti-Defamation League in 1913 was the case of this man who allegedly. Attacked sext, a female worker, I think and, and then killed her.

And then they was

Malcolm Collins: about to try to save him

Simone Collins: was was lynched by a mob. So, and, and then I think there’s some following,

Malcolm Collins: right?

Simone Collins: Legal case. And I think he had tried, sorry, I like read this really quickly while trying to respond to comments. He had tried to blame it on a black man. Like he was, wasn’t me, it was this black dude.

And then

Malcolm Collins: that’s extra bad. That’s extra

Simone Collins: bad. Well, no, I know. The ADL was like,

I think founded as part of some legal case to because the court [00:53:00] case surrounding it I think drew a lot of like antisemitic hate, or sorry, just, sorry. That’s a. Misnomer it, it drew a lot of antisemitism or, or fomented.

A lot of it. I feel like the ADL’s actions around it probably would make that worse, would make the antisemitism worse. Trying to hear this man’s name instead of just being like, dude, I mean, un unless they were insistent that he was innocent. But even then it’s like probably like, let’s just let this go.

This doesn’t seem, you know, whatever. But anyway, like whether or not he was innocent that that is apparently the founding of the a DL, like their first big case. And I had no idea and I was like, oh my God. And that’s a really good example of like, this wasn’t a leader as far as we know, you know, it was just a factory supervisor.

Speaker 6: So for context, , historians would disagree with Simone here. Obviously, historians may have some bias that the black guy was the actual rapist in this situation. However, the fact that as racist [00:54:00] as that region was during that period that the mob said, no, no, no, it wasn’t the black guy, it was this other guy. It does make me doubt that a little bit, but , yeah.

Simone Collins: So to your point, yeah, this is people who were like, you gotta look into circumcision and how the practice was brought to the United States and how one man tried to expose it and stop it and then was. Was effectively like cast away and thrown out. So it can be done but it was only done by someone questioning the practice of circumcision as practiced in the us.

So I kind of wanna look into that because it’s one of those hot button issues among new parents as, as you know, base campers who are having kids who, you know, may or may not be circumcised have, have written to us and been like, Hey, why don’t we talk about this?

Malcolm Collins: I mean, I’m very against banning super circumcision, by the way.

It is, you, you cannot be Jewish without being circumcised. The, the Bible is incredibly clear on this. It’s, it’s like not even a vague thing. It’s not [00:55:00] something where there’s multiple interpretations.

Simone Collins: Yeah. What’s questionable is when and how it happens, right?

Malcolm Collins: No, it’s supposed to be done to infants.

Simone Collins: It is,

Malcolm Collins: yeah. Yeah. The case was Moses makes that incredibly clear. When, it’s, I don’t want to go into the whole story, but, you know, it was Moses’s kid and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Almost killed on the spot for not circumcising. V very bad to not circumcise. We, we actually go over it in our, in our track, the the question that breaks Judaism.

So it’s, it’s it’s something that we have gone over and

Simone Collins: I know. I’m so sorry. Oh my God.

Malcolm Collins: But yeah, that’s a, a, a fun one. But yeah, that was a very interesting episode to film. And do All right, I’ll get started here.

Speaker 7: I can pull. Yeah, you’re very strong. Octavian.

Speaker 8: Very strong.[00:56:00]

Good job.

All right, is Daddy. Hello and Professor River. Thank you. Good teamwork. Thank you, Titan. Professor, say whoa. There you go.
