RFK Jr. BOLDLY Claims He'll Know What Caused 'Autism Epidemic' By Fall
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that he will announce the cause of the autism epidemic by September.
- 15 minutes
I had to be molested at the airport,
to go to Florida, right.
Just to get on an airplane,
because I'm not going to go through
the the gay beam machine.
I didn't let CJ do it.
I wouldn't let him do it.
Said you're getting
patted down too, buddy.
I don't want them turning you gay.
[00:00:22]
- But.
- I mean, how would that even work?
Yeah, that is evangelical preacher
and clearly conspiracy theorist Andrew
Isgur telling everybody he's not gay,
but he wants to make sure
he and his buddies get patted down by
[00:00:37]
other dudes whenever possible.
He's not about to become gay from going
through one of those airport scanners
that make you gay, that's for sure.
Despite how many men he then has to ask
to touch his private parts at the airport.
You just watched Isgur on his right wing
current affairs podcast, which is a logo,
[00:00:55]
by the way, of him and two other dudes
with their arms around each other.
It's called contra Mundum,
spreading the truly insane conspiracy
theory that TSA body scanners and airports
can make people queer.
Luckily, Iskra determined
there's a much less gay option and that is
[00:01:10]
having a male TSA worker feel you up.
Here's more.
It. It appears having a guy touch you
all over the place is,
On its face seems worse,
but you don't really know what's going
[00:01:25]
what what those things are doing to you.
So where the imaging goes or what?
- Yeah, because it's.
- Like I'm doing in the bathroom.
Yeah.
Like, yeah, they can just
take a picture of me naked.
- Like, no.
- Virtual adrenochrome system back there.
Yeah, maybe. Maybe so.
[00:01:43]
He literally said. Sure.
It seems worse to have a man touch
your private parts, but you don't know
what the machine is doing.
So not knowing, but for sure,
having basically a homosexual experience
forced upon you by not forced because you
opted into it quite pleasingly.
[00:02:02]
And also, they might want to see me naked.
I doubt it severely.
Of all the candidates.
But that's just my thoughts, Jake.
Okay, here's the tale, guys.
I've never thought.
Hey, I wonder what turned me gay.
[00:02:18]
It never occurred to me.
I never thought, hey, I wonder
if the gay beams in the TSA scanner
is turning me gay because I'm not gay.
I never thought, I wonder if it's
the microwave turning me gay or the frogs
or the water because I'm not gay.
[00:02:34]
That thought has never crossed my mind.
But for some of these brothers,
they're constantly thinking,
what's causing the gayness?
What's. What's turning me gay?
What is it? That.
What is it?
That thing who's turning me gay?
You're like.
You're kind of telling on yourself
and nothing wrong with it.
[00:02:51]
You open arms here.
Okay, but that's hilarious, brother.
And then, of course, the conspiracy theory
that they're zapping you.
They're zapping you with what?
What is like what? What?
Could you zap someone
with rainbow rainbows.
[00:03:08]
Rainbows. That's an idea.
Ben.
Good one. Yes.
That's true. Could be.
Exactly. That's exactly what it is.
And you know, my question was similar,
just in the sense of like,
how exactly would this technology work?
Like, every time you go through
a checkout line or something,
it just jumbles your sexual orientation.
[00:03:25]
Like, like every time.
Like you got, like,
your sexual orientation,
got Tourette's syndrome or something.
Like, it just can't help itself.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
It's kind of silly.
Like, you know, I'm so straight.
I'd rather a dude cut my nuts
than go through a scanner.
[00:03:40]
You know what I mean? Because that's how.
That's how you stay on track.
Like, squeeze my ass, man.
I got some metal in there.
I don't know, man.
These people are strange.
What was that dude's name?
I think he was a senator for Iowa
or Idaho or something.
[00:03:55]
And he got caught
in the bathroom in the airport.
Yeah.
- Larry.
- Craig.
Foot tap.
I mean, think about that. Like you.
You can't go to a hotel.
You can't even wait to go back home.
It's like you're so freaky.
I need some strange
in an airport bathroom.
[00:04:12]
Oh, no.
- No, no.
- Jackson.
Bad.
No, no. You just.
Accidentally figured it out.
Larry Craig was
a Republican senator from Idaho.
They used a lot of rumors about how he'd
be soliciting men in bathrooms.
Right.
And and then he got caught in a Minnesota
airport bathroom, I believe.
[00:04:31]
Yeah, he was at an airport.
Went through the scanner.
- Otherwise known as the gay beam.
- Exactly.
Okay. Exactly.
Exactly.
See, I uncover the mystery
without even thinking about it.
- Exactly.
- So you're ignoring.
You're ignoring
the very obvious fact here, too.
[00:04:48]
Because this isn't even a conspiracy
theory I'd ever heard before.
It sounds like one.
He might have come up with himself.
And you have to, from the story,
have to infer he hasn't always opted out
for the pat downs.
He's gone through the machine
a couple of times, so he went
[00:05:03]
through the machine at one point.
Yeah.
And then saw other dudes being felt up
who didn't go through the machine.
And right as he was going
through the machine
and seeing that he got funny feelings
and funny thoughts and he thought,
oh, clearly it's the machine
making me feel that way and not
[00:05:21]
the homoerotic thing I'm witnessing.
Next time I'm going to have to be
part of that feel up situation, because
this machine is a real queer maker.
I think we figured out,
in fact, what did it?
It was him seeing some stuff go down
and being oddly pleased by it.
[00:05:39]
You also won't be shocked to learn
this guy is aggressively homophobic
and not afraid to say it, as they always
are when they doth protest too much.
In my guess, earlier this month,
he was on Tucker Carlson's show.
Here's just a little taste
of how that show went.
[00:05:55]
The former president
of the Southern Baptist Convention, J.D.
Greer, famously said in a sermon, well,
the Bible just whispers about sexual sin,
but it shouts about about like,
financial sin or greed, right?
[00:06:10]
So they want to downplay.
- Doubts about both of them.
- It does.
And the two are connected, right? Yeah.
Right.
If you're if you're, you know, greedy
for money, you're also going to be lusting
after the flesh like that.
The two go hand in hand.
And and so but it's to downplay things
that the culture does not want to hear.
[00:06:29]
Right.
Because you'll be branded as a bigot,
as intolerant as a bad person.
If you're just like,
well, this is what the Bible says.
Like this.
You know, fornicators,
adulterers, sodomites, they they will
not inherit the kingdom of God.
You don't have to believe it.
But if you're a believing Christian,
it it's not whispered at all.
[00:06:45]
Yeah. You shouted?
Yeah.
You do have to believe it
if you're a Christian.
Like if you claim that you.
That this is the Bible,
that God spoke this.
- Yeah.
- So there is that.
In my opinion, the man has far too thick
and aggressive of a 70s porn mustache
[00:07:03]
to be talking about this topic at all,
but that's just my uneducated guess.
It always is.
However, the people who claim that the
Bible is saying that you can't be gay, and
then he just slips in and conflates, which
Tucker Carlson immediately agrees to.
[00:07:20]
He goes, plus,
if you're a greedy person about money,
you also are going to want the flesh.
But overly being addicted to sex
is totally different than being gay.
Nobody says that gay people
are inherently having more sex
[00:07:39]
than straight people or married people.
There's married gay people.
There's people of all persuasions within
all, sexual preferences and persuasions.
And so that was a little strange as well.
Also, he claimed he had fled to Tennessee
because his home state of Minnesota
[00:07:55]
had declared war on Christians.
And later in the interview,
he and Tucker went on and on about
how without a religion like Christianity,
sure, you don't have to believe, but then
what's to stop you from murdering people?
He goes, oh, you have no basis for it.
Then there's nothing
to ground you to that belief.
[00:08:11]
Some might think murder is good,
as though morality can only be based
on fictional characters in the sky.
Yeah.
So there's a lot
of interesting things in there.
He's like, oh, they call you a bigot.
But you know, if you read the Bible,
it says that gay people can't get into
[00:08:26]
heaven in the kingdom of God, and gay
people are this and gay people are that.
No, brother, you're just saying
I became a bigot
because of my interpretation of the Bible.
You're not saying
you're not a bigot like so.
In fact, you're admitting you're a bigot.
You're like, gay people are bad.
[00:08:42]
You shouldn't be gay.
You being gay is so bad.
You'll go to hell and be tortured forever
instead of going to heaven.
But I don't have anything
against gay people.
No, you literally do.
You just said it. You just said it.
Right.
So. And that's just his interpretation
of the Bible.
[00:08:57]
Now, up to a couple of Ben's points,
he says, well, you know, you lust
for greed for money and homosexuality.
Of course,
both of those things are similar.
Are they?
Because I've wanted more money in my life.
You know, I'm human,
but I haven't lusted for homosexuality.
[00:09:17]
That guy. Just everything he says.
Well, obviously, I mean,
lust for homosexuality.
Obviously, everything's turning you gay.
Is it obvious? Is it obvious to all of us?
Money is gay, Jake wanting money?
Yes, exactly. Wanting money is gay.
[00:09:32]
Yeah, but check out Elon Musk
and all that.
They'll be all upset to get you
to get the gayest in the white House.
But yeah.
No, it's just like, it seems just like
a somewhat low key addict obsession.
Like maybe he is a sex addict.
[00:09:48]
You know, sex addiction could be like porn
and all types of stuff like that.
But he kind of comes across
like he has some type, like he wakes up
and he just can't stop looking at it.
And obviously, you know,
just do your thing.
If you're gay, be gay.
It's not a big deal.
But, he does seem to have
a really weird obsession with it.
[00:10:06]
And the Bible says a lot of stuff.
The Bible is a lot of books.
It's not just one book in the Old
Testament has stuff about not having
your ears pierced and not having tattoos,
and how to cook your meat
and all types of stuff like that,
that all of us break on a daily basis,
which is one of the biggest ironies
[00:10:23]
of people who are super fundamentalist
about stuff like that.
Like your hairstyle could be against the
Bible that you that you're wearing today.
You could have too many curls
in your head or something.
You know,
these these people are just bigots.
And don't eat shrimp.
Make sure you don't eat shrimp.
Yeah.
Don't eat. Don't do that.
[00:10:39]
- No shellfish.
- Yeah.
Seafood. Always looking at you like this.
Like.
- Yeah.
- No, no.
Exactly where I was going to go with it.
Everybody who watches Young Turks
for a long time knows I'm about to say,
you know, the the real.
You know, sinners are at Red lobster.
[00:10:55]
- So they're all going to hell.
- Exactly.
Have you ever been to Red lobster?
It's, by the way, in Leviticus,
don't eat shellfish.
That's an abomination. Is right next to.
Do not lie with another man like they're
right on top of each other, if you will.
Okay. So equal.
Perfectly equal.
[00:11:11]
So if you're pretending
that God hates gay people, then God's hate
hates anyone who's ever eaten shellfish.
Literally just as much.
Okay, so make up your mind on what
you're cherry picking out of the Bible.
Last thing is,
I think Ben actually figured it out.
[00:11:27]
So he said, you know, like,
it had to be the machine, and it.
And I think that's what they think, guys.
They think they feel guilty about,
you know, the feelings that they have
and they desperately want to think
it couldn't be me.
It couldn't be me.
[00:11:42]
It had to be the gay beam machine
that turned me gay.
You see what I'm saying?
Because they've been taught
that it's bad when it's not actually bad.
- Natural.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
So they don't want that responsibility.
They're trying to throw
that responsibility off of them.
They're like TSA scanners.
That's got to be it.
[00:12:01]
That's what gave me the gayness.
No, brother.
I mean, if you're another way
to look at it is no, your creator did.
So go chew on that.
Can't do anything
without pissing God off, man.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
[00:12:18]
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
