00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.039
And we've got uh, what.
46
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.280
Looks like shirtless George Washington on a Harley. I don't

50
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.039
Hey man, all you need, all you need is is
51
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.719
uh uh you know, you know George Washington standing on
52
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.719
the top rope about to jump off the top.
53
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.080
That's what he looks like he's about to do. After
54
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.039
he rides into the ring on his Harley. There are
55
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.400
in a flag and everything. It looks like he man,
56
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:09.680
but with with sunglasses. Uh. So yeah, I bought it
57
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.240
of course because of the can and I was like, oh, America,
58
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.360
and then uh then I tried it and it's it's delicious.
59
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.199
It's it's a strawberry lemonade. So then I ordered several
60
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.360
several cases of it. That sounds good though, that actually
61
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.800
sounds tasting. It is delicious. Yeah, so monster call us.
62
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.959
I'm sure you want your name associated with this show
63
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:43.360
at this point. Yes, right, okay, So this is this
64
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.360
is also because we're at war, right or not? Maybe
65
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.000
we don't know. So it kind of works like like this,
66
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.839
like there's a deal, and then Iran says no, and
67
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.439
then Israel and Trump got into a shouting match and
68
00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:01.199
they called each other names and that was awesome. H Yeah,
69
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.639
I don't know what's going on over there. Nobody knows,
70
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.839
just making it up. It's fine.
71
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.680
Yeah, yeah, it changes, you know, by the day, yeah.
72
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:18.040
Even or by the minute, by the tweet. And also
73
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:19.600
we found out we have to go start our own
74
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.160
slush fund because they're not going to give us one bullshit.
75
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.839
And somehow Lauren Bobert got back in the news. I'm
76
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:33.319
not totally sure what that's all about, but Brian put
77
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.199
it on the script because Brian loves Lauren Bobert. Hey Bobert.
78
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.720
Yeah, there's there's something about her, man, There's something that
79
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.360
just the just the distant look in her eye, you know, the.
80
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.000
Way she appreciates the theater.
81
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.279
Yo, we'll see at the Kennedy Center.
82
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.639
Very similar. Yeah right, Oh it's the Kennedy Center and
83
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.439
not the Trump Kennedy Center. He quit that, he rage
84
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.519
quit that. Apparently we can we can mention that. I
85
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.639
don't know, well, we're all all of those local people
86
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:07.439

Yeah. And then Pete Kegseth is doing something with some sailors.
92
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.240
It looks a little like the dance number from Springtime
93
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.439
for Hitler and uh, I'm not even sure what that was,
94
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.920

Uh.
139
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.360
And to show that he's a true next fan, Trump
140
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.039
had Wemby deported back to France.
141
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.759
Out of here, yeah, out of there. Speaking of which,

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:44.879
this week, with Trump calling Net and Yahoo fucking crazy
144
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.679

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:48.919
Trump's pager number.
146
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:56.120
Ah, okay, that's a deep one. Yeah, leave that one alone.
147
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.039
These writers are going to get us in trouble. The

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.279
the fight between the two leaders will be settled in
149
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.960

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.600
the Octogenarian Gun.
151
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.840
The Occagenarian Gone. I hear they're going to keep that there.
152
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.799
I heard the rumor is, oh yeah, yeah, I think
153
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:21.000
that right there is. I mean, if that's not a
154
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.879
sign of dimension, I don't know what it is.
155
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.200
Well, why don't we just let him keep it. Tell
156
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.480
him that's the new Kennedy Center and he can put

159
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:39.000
All right, here's your ballroom at CBS, The once proud
160
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.240
network is facing some challenges weeks after firing their number
161
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.360
one rated late Night Show Steven Colbert. They also fire
162
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.120
their number one rated news show, sixty Minutes reporter Scott
163
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:58.120
Paley opening the Doors, a show simply called twenty four

00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.840
The only thing left on CBS is going to be
166
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:08.679
boomers size. I could see that though. Yeah, nobody would
167
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:14.720
watch that. My parents would, yeah right, watching him drone
168
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:20.120

169
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.639
for governor. It was what's often described as a jungle primary,
170
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.279
in which the top two vote getters, regardless of party,
171
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.639
go to the general election. Incidentally, jungle primary is the
172
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.159
song Trump thought Morris Day in the Time would perform
173
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:35.720
at his stupid birthday event.
174
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:43.559
The dance oe o e oh yeah right. The event
175
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.559
was scheduled to include Milli or Vanilly, but not both
176
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.360
because one of them is dead and nobody cares about
177
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:50.879
the other one that's cold.
178
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:51.879
That is cold.
179
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.480
Yeah, yes.
180
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:01.240
Not to be outdone, Vanilla Ice was still down to perform,
181
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.679
noting that if other artists had a problem that he
182
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.799
would solve it while they check out the revolutions of
183
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.759
his DJ on the record player.
184
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:17.120
Check out as my DJ revolves it. Yeah right, right,
185
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.799
I can't forget it. I can't never forget this.
186
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:21.679
Nobody can forget that line.
187
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.399
Also, not wanting to be outdone, Pete Kegsas I like
188
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.320
that engaged in what most observers called a desperate attempt
189
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.519
to keep up with much younger, fitter, and more coordinated
190
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.879
young stabers by doing what I guess he thought was
191
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.600
a workout routine but was really just a hazing They
192
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.320
make cleaves go through at Annapolis.
193
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.639
Yes, they taught him. They were like, come on, Pete,
194
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.679
we're all gonna do it, and he's like, all right, cool,
195
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.879
I'm gonna do it too. And then you gotta see
196
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.320
him running around like this. It's pretty funny, hey him
197
00:12:55.360 --> 00:13:00.600
and RFK. Yeah, that's a whole different thing. Uh. The
198
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.440
breakdown of the concert and act pulling out was remarkable
199
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.799
when you think about how nobody knew any of these
200
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:08.399
performers were even still alive.
201
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.960
Yeah well yeah, I mean I heard somebody say young
202
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.440
MC is just MC now yeah right, he had to
203
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.840
change his name to just MC. Some of these folks
204
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:25.840
are They call him legacy acts? But is that you
205
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:27.080
have to have a legacy though?
206
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.559
I think you have that more than one song. Isn't
207
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:34.399
that kind of the deal. Yeah, yeah, a legacy needs
208
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.159
a legacy. Like what's young MC gonna do? He's gonna
209
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.799
show up, bust a move and walk off like there's
210
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.399
literally nothing else in the catalog. Can you name another
211
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.080
Young MC track? Uh?
212
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:53.039
Come on now, Yeah, I probably could, but I'm gonna I'd.
213
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.840
Have to start. You still have to hear some typing. Yeah,
214
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:02.519
you're gonna google it, right. See tickets to World Cup games?
215
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:06.200
We get that. Oh no, we're on Africa, okay. Oh.
216
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:10.519
In Africa, doctors are battling an ebola epidemic. Many people
217
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:15.360
are asking RFK to personally go help without masks, ppe
218
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.480
or even a shirt as God intended.
219
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.799
That's right, I can see that. Yeah, go try it
220
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.080
out with that whole milk, buddy, See if that works.
221
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:26.759
I can see him showing up ripping off his shirt,
222
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.840
you know. Yeah, just like standing.
223
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:32.440
There, I'm here to tell you about why all of
224
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:38.039
these black kids should be reparented on a farm. I
225
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:43.440
love that. Wow, rate, it's just all right. While battling
226
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:47.000
a war waged by a fat bird that keeps taking
227
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:50.759
dementia tests, Iran is also gearing up for the World Cup,
228
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.919
where they will have to play all of their games
229
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:58.039
in Mexico since Trump won't let them into the country absolutely.
230
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.559
Speaking of which, tickets to World Games are so expensive
231
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.679
that some of the smaller countries have had to sell
232
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.159
some players just to get a few for their fans.
233
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:12.919
That's right. There was this thing where the tickets were
234
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:17.120
so expensive that like the Haitian fans couldn't afford them
235
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.919
in New York and in some of these places. And
236
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.639
Scotland is playing Haiti in their first game, and the
237
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.919
Scots were all pissed off because they wanted the opposing
238
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.919
team to have fans there. So like they're raising money
239
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.799
to buy tickets for Haiti fans so they can go
240
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:34.360
to the game.
241
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.919
Hey man, some of them are so so adorable they
242
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.600
pocket size, you can actually buy some.
243
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.639
Yeah, it's a special shout out to Scotland that they're
244
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:49.399
like so inclusive that they're like, no, we also want
245
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:54.120
the opponent to be there, or it's no fun, no
246
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.559
fun at all. No all right. Bosnia, Cursau, and Cape
247
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.440
Verde are in the World Cup, while Italy is not,
248
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.840
causing many Italian brothers to be even more disappointed in
249
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.440
their little bambinos than usual.
250
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:13.480
Oh my gosh, shaking my head. I was gonna say,
251
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.919
dinner was gonna be quiet in that household? But no,
252
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.639
probably not. No, it's an Italian household. It's definitely not.
253
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.200
There's gonna be a lot of speaking with the hands.
254
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.279
Whuz Bekistan is in the World Cup, though, causing a
255
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:31.519
strange spinning around from the grave of Herman Kane.
256
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:37.600
Yes, it was Becky Becky Becky Stan Yes, that is
257
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:38.480
a throwback.
258
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.039
I remember Man for one shining moment when I was
259
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.360
a kid, and I remember he ran.
260
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.320
I didn't know who he was at the.
261
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.759
Time, and it was like, Wow, Hey, this guy's running,
262
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.440
you know, and I felt like kind of I felt
263
00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:59.360
a sort of a surge of pride.
264
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:07.440
And then you start to speaking. That was his answer
265
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.440
to everything, and they're like, what are you gonna do
266
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.200
about world affairs and stuff? And he's like, it was Becky, Becky,
267
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:20.799
Becky's dead. What was he? What was he? Like? A pizza? Yeah,
268
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:25.079
Godfather's pizza. Godfather's pizza is a pizza mogil Man. He's
269
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:32.079
a pizza mogil who then succeeded in believing so hard
270
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:34.920
that COVID was fake that he died from getting it
271
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.519
at a super spreader event at a Trump rally.
272
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.720
That's where we are. Yeah, I mean and look and
273
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:46.000
we look where we are now. Yeah, well Kane's dead.
274
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:52.039
He's safe. He can't get dead again, can't get any sicker.
275
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:58.039
Yeah, all right, well those are the headlines. How did
276
00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.640
you like the headlines? Pat? I did? I liked them
277
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:01.440
very very much.
278
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:06.000
They were they were, they were there, they were heavenly.
279
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:09.319
All right, Well, let's hope they don't get a sent
280
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:12.400
to hell. Uh but what we'll almost certainly get a
281
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.319
sent to hell is whatever the hell Brian is about
282
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.640
to play in this break. So we're gonna take a break.

Oh yo, wait a minute, yo, Brian, what was that?
302
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:53.880
Man? I was Tiny Dusk.
303
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:59.359
Yeah, that was That was a Tiny Dusk episode feature Amna.
304
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:05.880
I was intrigued by her chair flute, so yeah, yeah,
305
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.559
so I figured that would be an interesting non ai music.
306
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.359
Uh no, it was incredible. Today's incredible.
307
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.599
That was cool. So we had Bob Boylan, who originated
308
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.279
the tiny Desk concerts and tiny desk everything at NPR
309
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.279
on the show back when we were still in the studio,
310
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.279
and uh, he was incredible. He told us all these
311
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:35.839
great stories and that performance is pretty I mean, if
312
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:38.920
you if you look at tiny desk concerts, you've seen
313
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:43.119
all of these weird, cool ways that people make music.
314
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:44.839
But I don't think I've ever seen anybody play a
315
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.000
folding chair. That that was something well, I mean and
316
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:50.799
just play. Yeah, it was like yeah, and it was
317
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:56.400
like tuned and everything. Also, she's singing castagiano, which is like, uh,
318
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:01.359
if you're no, it's Spanish, but it's like Spain Spanish.
319
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.359
So if you're if, if you're somebody like me who
320
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:08.319
lives in a world of Central American Spanish, and you
321
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:12.559
hear that, it's uh, it's funny. It sounds funny. I
322
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:15.680
know how to describe it, sort of like, uh, like,
323
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.480
why why do you like mindy python? Oh, it's because
324
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.160
they're funny accents, you know. It's like, yeah, I got you,
325
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.279
I got the same same thing, all right. Uh, now
326
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:27.720
we've come to a part of the show. It's called
327
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:29.920
the rundowns, is where we tell you about some stuff
328
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.039
that's gone out in the news. If we were real
329
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.720
professional radio people, it would sound a little something like this.
330
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.480
No from Beltway Radio and Beyond It Washington, d C.
331
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.319
I'm Emmy nominated TV news man and just bona fide
332
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.000
sexual beast Jay Scott Smith. And this is the part
333
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.519
of the show where I tell some stuff about the world.
334
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:55.160
Maybe not me, but somebody else is gonna tell some
335
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:56.640
stuff about what's happening in the news.
336
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.640
So, uh, what's going on in the news, Fellas, Thanks
337
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.319
Jang check him out Channel four and Detroit. He's still
338
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.759
the best thereas. So let's talk about this strange thing
339
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.680
that happened this week, which is that the House passed
340
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:16.599
a resolution on Wednesday, that's yesterday, to block President Shipbag
341
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:21.440
from ordering further strikes in Iran, ratcheting up pressure on
342
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.759
the administration to find a way to end the unpopular war. Now,
343
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.400
the vote was a two fifteen to two to eight vote,
344
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:34.160
and there were four Republicans who joined, So that would
345
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:41.000
be Massey who Trump successfully primaried, and Tom Barrett of Michigan,
346
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.000
Warren Davis of Ohio, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania. So
347
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.559
Fitzpatrick had already said basically that he was going to
348
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:50.799
vote for any war powers. This is a great graphic,
349
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:55.759
by the way, way to go, Brian that so FITZI
350
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.440
said he was going to vote for anything that reinstated
351
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.559
the war power or was pursued to the War Powers resolution.
352
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.839
And Massy, of course is in the Yolo caucus, right,
353
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:09.440
you know about the Yolo caucus. Pat, No, it's you
354
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:15.319
only lose once. So because Trump has primaried a bunch
355
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.920
of these guys and they're essentially lame ducks, they're free
356
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:23.559
to do whatever they want to do. Thomas Massey wants
357
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:28.680
to do these things. He has been pretty against the
358
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:33.200
war from the beginning, and specifically against the we're doing
359
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.839
this without congressional approval part of the war. So that
360
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:40.759
was not a surprise. It wasn't really surprised any of
361
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:42.440
these guys, but it's just sort of a surprise of
362
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:45.160
like how this was forced and how this happened. So,
363
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:50.519
just to be clear about this, Mike Johnson Maga. Miike
364
00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:53.319
did not want this vote to take place. He tried
365
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.599
to stop it from happening by putting the House out
366
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.440
of session early for the Memorial Day holiday because it
367
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.039
was clear that they had the votes, and so he's like, nope,
368
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.400
we're wrapping up, see you later. Everybody go home, and
369
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:07.559
but they eventually had to come back and come back
370
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.200
they did, and they forced the vote using a thing
371
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.880
called a discharge petition. A discharge petition worked so normally
372
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.039
the speaker gets to control like what gets voted on
373
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.880
in the House and all of that, but if enough
374
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:24.720
members vote for a discharge petition, they can basically force
375
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:27.359
a bill to the floor for an up or down vote.
376
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.559
And it had enough votes to get the discharge petition passed.
377
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:32.480
And so then they had to vote on it, and
378
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:36.599
of course it passed. Ah okay, Now where does this
379
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:41.160
put us? Is kind of it's symbolic in a lot
380
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.680
of ways people are That's the way people are referring
381
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:46.720
to it. Not exactly symbolic. Is just mechanically not going
382
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:50.480
to change anything. And here's why the Senate has to
383
00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:56.319
vote on something similar. They didn't. They they procedurally advanced
384
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.720
a bill that was similar, but it didn't pass, or
385
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:04.519
it hasn't yet. If it did, then Trump could veto it,
386
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:08.319
and there's not a two thirds majority in either house
387
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.839
to override the veto. And all this bill is saying
388
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.160
is that like, hey, we're invoking the War Powers Act
389
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.160
and you're violating it, and you have to stop doing
390
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:20.319
what you're doing, which Trump doesn't seem to give a
391
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:22.720
shit about laws anyway, who would just do whatever the
392
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:28.920
hell he wants regards But it is worth noting that
393
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:34.559
this is we have seen the rarest species ever, You
394
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.119
know that, Like scientists search for this for years and
395
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:43.680
they never see one, but we found four. Have you
396
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:44.720
ever seen them?
397
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.559
Well not till you show me those photos, right, never?
398
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:55.720
Yet they're called they're called congressional vertebrates means they have backbone.
399
00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:58.759
They found it, they found it, They found it. Four
400
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:03.200
of them did. The other two hundred and some odd
401
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.200
are are not. Two hundred and eight of them are
402
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.279
are still jellyfish?
403
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:10.599
What is it?
404
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.039
Is it?
405
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:16.559
Because these folks, what do you think gave them the stones?
406
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:19.759
Well, in Massi's case, he's got nothing to lose, and
407
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:23.799
I think these other guys are in tight races for
408
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.000
reelection where the war's unpopular, which the war's on popular
409
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:31.880
all over the country, and it's probably what their constituents
410
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.519
wanted them to do. How about that? How about that?
411
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:38.480
How about that? Now? The other ones are all just
412
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:43.680
a bunch of trump blatdogs, which is not fair because
413
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:47.920
now what is JD Van's gonna do? But they they
414
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.319
are they they have taken Jady Vance's job of licking boots,
415
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.799
and that's that's where they're at. I don't know why
416
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:00.480
Congress is so eager to not do their job, but
417
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:03.559
at least a few of them want to do it,
418
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:08.640
so we'll see. There's also this other bit that that
419
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:14.440
the House also had some uh they they voted, well,
420
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.039
they voted on the discharge petition to advance the the
421
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.839
Epstein law that forced Trump to have to release the
422
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.759
Epstein files, which he hasn't done. So that's the thing,
423
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.400
is like, okay, Congress, you pass a law, President even
424
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.240
signs the law, and he just doesn't doesn't abide by it.
425
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:37.559
It was like, hey, it's just just yeah, it's a suggestion.
426
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:40.079
What are you going to do, Congress? What are you
427
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:42.599
gonna do? Fire me? Yeah? Exactly.
428
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:49.720
Oh man, did you talk about this Russia finance and energy?
429
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:56.480
Well? Uh what Russia? No, not yet. We haven't got
430
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.960
to that yet. Okay, okay, okay, okay, but it okay.
431
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:05.119
So there's another thing that happened here relating to the
432
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:07.240
this This is all about the Iran war, right, that's
433
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.920
what they're voting on, But there was also some stuff
434
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:16.119
about Ukraine in this and later on Wednesday, the House
435
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:21.920
buck Trump and Maga Mike again voting for Ukraine funding.
436
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.839
And this is again like a very strange thing that
437
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:34.319
why Republicans would vote against funding a war against Russia.
438
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:39.000
Like what happened here. You remember back when, back when
439
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:41.920
this this eagle was was just a young chick and
440
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.799
we were out there like kicking Soviet ass and they're
441
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.279
like goddamn Russians. The Ruskies are up to some ship again.
442
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.920
And then the and and the Republicans were number one
443
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.559
in that right, tear on this wall or whatever.
444
00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:00.119
You know, you're right right right right. They they with
445
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:02.400
the ones we I was gonna say, looked up to,
446
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:05.880
but they definitely were the ones who who had all
447
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.440
the the muscle at that time.
448
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:12.000
Yeah, Ronnie Reagan was was out there talking about we're gonna,
449
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:16.039
We're gonna the evil Empire and it's the Iron Curtain
450
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:20.000
and and tear down this what what it was? The
451
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:23.279
other trust but verify, you know, like giving it to
452
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:23.920
the Russians.
453
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:24.119
Man.
454
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:26.359
And now he got Trump out here talking about, well,
455
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:30.279
Putin's a good guy. He likes me. I like him.
456
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:36.799
Give me a soccer ball once, you know, all right guy. Yeah,
457
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.880
So then this other thing about the Iran war is
458
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:42.680
we want a ceasefire. Everybody wants to cease fire. The
459
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:44.960
Iranians want to seize fire. Probably we don't know who
460
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.640
they're talking to. Trump says he wants to seize fire.
461
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:51.920
But every day he either threatens them or rolls over.
462
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.240
We're not really sure what it is on a given day.
463
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:57.839
There is not currently a ceasefire. I want to be
464
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.799
clear about that, that there might be this thing on
465
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.319
paper that says ceasefire, but there's still very much shooting
466
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:08.599
going on. The Americans are shooting at the Iranians, they
467
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:12.960
shot at some of their ships just today. The Iranians
468
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.759
are in fact shooting back. They're shooting at Kuwait, They're
469
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:20.680
shooting at American naval vessels. They're not doing a lot
470
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:25.200
of damage, but occasionally some stuff's getting through. And the
471
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:28.240
other thing that is not a ceasefire is the Israelis,
472
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.279
who have said that they have a ceasefire in I
473
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:35.519
don't know five different places at this point, Gaza, Lebanon,
474
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:42.759
Southern Syria, fuck all else. The Israelis version of ceasefire.
475
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.599
The thing that you got to know about Hebrews that
476
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:49.480
it goes backwards. So if you're in ceasefire in Hebrew
477
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:53.880
means shoot at Lebanon. And so they've just been like
478
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:59.519
shooting at Lebanon and calling it a ceasefire, which is
479
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:05.319
not how that works. So when over the weekend, no
480
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:07.920
not even over the weekend, over last weekend, when Trump
481
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:11.960
skipped his son's wedding because there was an imminent deal
482
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.559
with Iran. It got scuttled, in part by the Israelis
483
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:20.119
shooting at Lebanon, and then this week there was again
484
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:23.079
this Rubio was like, no, the war's over. We've got
485
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.079
a deal, and then two seconds later to the Iranians
486
00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:28.280
were like, we don't have a deal. We're not talking
487
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:31.800
to you. Stop shooting at Lebanon. And Trump had just
488
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:34.199
tweeted out something about how he had a deal, and
489
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.519
the Iranians like, we don't know who you just signed
490
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:41.519
a deal with, but what do you mean we while
491
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:44.280
you're at it, give whoever that is your social Security number?
492
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:45.440
We definitely need that too.
493
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:47.159
It was.
494
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.480
It was the dumbest, dumbest possible thing, and so that's
495
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:57.639
what Trump and Bibe got into a fight about. So imagine,
496
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:02.159
if you will, two very old then who I cannot
497
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:04.239
thank god it was on the phone, because you could
498
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.679
you imagine what that room would have smelled like. He's
499
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.639
old man, are are like, Okay, So there was this
500
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:16.239
phone call. Here's my version of the phone call.
501
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:19.480
Okay, babe, you're killing me and I want to get
502
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:19.800
a deal.
503
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:21.840
I'm bored with this war. I don't want it. I
504
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:24.000
don't want to the word anymore. The war. Many people
505
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.119
are saying the word it's not fun. It's not fun
506
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:30.159
that enjoying the war. I want to I want to.
507
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:31.840
I want to go home. I want to. They go
508
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:37.480
and uh and and then Yahoo is like, I'm gonna
509
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.880
shoot it Lebanon, and AND's like, no, you see, Bybe,
510
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.119
that's the problem, Like, okay, you're shooting a Lebanon. Royan
511
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.119
doesn't want you to shoot Lebanon. I want I want
512
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:48.559
a deal. I want you to go stop shooting Lebanon.
513
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:52.159
And BB's like, no, no, you gave me the weapons.
514
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.400
I'm gonna use them to shoot it Lebanon. And Trump goes,
515
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:59.119
You're fucking crazy, that's what he calls. He says to him.
516
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:02.920
And then they literally just are just lashing out. I
517
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.039
mean this escalated in an actual phone call.
518
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:07.719
Yeah, and then and and and He's like, you're an
519
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.960
ungrateful son of a bitch. And I you know, we
520
00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:13.920
gave you all these things, and and I've done more
521
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:16.199
for you than any president in history. This is what
522
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:18.440
he said. This is actually true. I'm not making this
523
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.960
part of and I've done more for you than than
524
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.960
any other president. I moved the embassy to Jerusalem, I
525
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:26.320
backed you in your in your guys of war. I
526
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:29.519
went to war with you, uh in Iran when I
527
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:31.440
didn't think there was a good reason to do it,
528
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:33.519
and all this stuff, and this is the way you
529
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:36.079
repay me, and you do all this ship you know,
530
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.559
on the day of my daughter's wedding. This is you know,
531
00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:43.719
and it was it was so like that. And then
532
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.679
and he was like yeah and.
533
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:51.039
Wow, like that. Trump told me you'd be in prison
534
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.639
if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody
535
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:57.079
hates you now, everybody hates Israel because of this.
536
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:01.559
That's the quote. And Trump admitted to it. He was like, yeah,
537
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:04.079
I said that stuff. A second source briefed on the
538
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:06.119
call said Trump was pissed and at one point yelled
539
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:10.239
at net and Yaku, what the fuck are you doing? Wow?
540
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:13.960
And just in case anybody thinks there's a language barrier,
541
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:16.559
there's not. Uh. He lived in America for most of
542
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:20.519
his life and he definitely understood every what Trump would say.
543
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:27.760
So look, I'm all for these two guys being miserable
544
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:31.559
and uh, I think neither of them makes people like
545
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:38.519
me safe. But I don't like the idea of crazy
546
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:41.760
old men deciding world policy. This is a bad move
547
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:49.039
all the way. Yeah. So they've had like tense calls
548
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.159
in the past, and they say that they always get
549
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.320
over it, right, they all they they call each other
550
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:58.119
fucking crazy and and whatever, and then the next time
551
00:37:58.159 --> 00:37:59.920
they talk, they'd be like, I remember when you call
552
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.239
me fucking crazy? Yeah, you are fucking crazy.
553
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:02.480
Yeah.
554
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:05.079
Yeah, well you know, good to see you, buddy. You know,
555
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.519
it's all backslapping and whatever.
556
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:13.000
I don't know if that's cute or disturbing to think
557
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:17.119
that they constantly or that is the level of their.
558
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:21.719
Communication, you know what I mean. Like, well, if it
559
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:27.400
was non consequential, it'd be fine. Like, right, I used
560
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:32.280
to volunteer at this old folks home when I was
561
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:36.159
in Connecticut, right, and there were these two old guys
562
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:40.920
who they spent every day together playing checkers and just
563
00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:43.800
kind of hanging out, right, And if you didn't know
564
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:46.360
the two of them, you'd think they hated each other
565
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.960
all day long, all day long, just hurling insults at
566
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:58.039
each other. Oh and then the other. Oh yeah, you know,
567
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.239
I know, you know people like that. I do, I do,
568
00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:01.719
I do.
569
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:07.639
I'm picturing what was the movie life Eddie Murphy and
570
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:11.440
Martin Lawrence. There's two old guys and just like you know,
571
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.000
you know my nerves, you know my damn nerves?
572
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.679
You know? Yeah, yeah, but we don't. They love each other, right,
573
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:20.320
they're like best friends, but they spend all day just
574
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:23.679
ragging on each other and and and just calling each
575
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:29.159
other names and ship. It was very entertaining to watch, right, right,
576
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.320
But you don't want those folks making Uh. I do
577
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:34.920
not like those guys playing checkers and hanging out and
578
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.360
yelling at Judge Judy on the TV. I do not
579
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:39.760
want them. And they were not yelling appropriate things to
580
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:45.960
judge you. But I but I I don't want them
581
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:51.840
deciding wars at all. Oh I bet they were. Yeah, uh,
582
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:56.760
they were in wars, but that was the other wars. Yeah,
583
00:39:57.320 --> 00:40:00.960
back when we knew which side we were on against them. Mhmm.
584
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:04.960
So what's the read here? Is the war going to continue?
585
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:07.880
Is the war not going to continue? Is there a
586
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:11.320
war going on? Can Congress pull back from this? Can
587
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:15.000
they pull funding from this? With Trump Care? What's gonna happen?
588
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:21.840
Pat go ahead and give us your your nostradamus impression. Oh,
589
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:32.159
I don't know. I mean I feel like Lebanon is
590
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:33.840
in trouble. I just know that.
591
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:38.360
I mean, but ah, I think the people of Lebanon
592
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:43.760
have always always uh you know, yeah, you know, they
593
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:48.280
they they've they've seen worse, they've seen worse, and I know,
594
00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:50.760
I don't want to say that they will, you know,
595
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:53.760
keep your chin up and you'll get you'll get through this.
596
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:59.960
But I know that they're going to. Yeah, they'll, they'll
597
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:02.280
come out of this. On the other side, I just
598
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:08.599
hope that you're gonna become a casualty of our our stupidness,
599
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:12.880
you know what I mean, our foolishness and everybody.
600
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:19.679
Yeah. So I just feel like it's not yeah, everything's
601
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:21.840
taken care of. Everything is not taken care of. It
602
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:25.880
is not This is not, by any stretch a good situation. Now,
603
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:30.360
as you mentioned, Lebanon's basically never not been at war ever,
604
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:34.000
like for thousands of years, they've always been in the
605
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:35.960
middle and not at war. They're caught in the middle.
606
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.440
They're caught in the middle of a war. And keep
607
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:41.559
in mind here that the Israelis would point out that
608
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:44.880
they've got a piece deal like with the Lebanese government,
609
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:48.039
but it's Hezbola that they're going after. If you think
610
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:52.000
that Lebanon's government is strong enough to tell Hesbola what
611
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:56.000
to do within their own borders. You're fucking crazy. Hesblad
612
00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:59.440
does what Hesbola wants to do. Yeah, and they work
613
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:02.920
for Iran, So it's all kind of tied together. And
614
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:08.400
the Israelis invaded Lebanon back in nineteen eighty, if you
615
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:13.000
can believe that, and they occupied southern Lebanon until the
616
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:18.519
year two thousand. Wow. For twenty years. They occupied southern
617
00:42:18.599 --> 00:42:23.880
Lebanon until Prime Minister A. Who Barack pulled the troops out.
618
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:30.519
And within a year of unoccupying Lebanon, hes Blah was
619
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:33.559
hucking rockets across the line back at Israel and they
620
00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:36.800
were forced to go back and fight them again. And
621
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:42.119
so the amount of time that Lebanon has been unoccupied
622
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:45.559
is minuscule compared to the amount of time that has
623
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:48.800
been occupied by the Israeli army. Also, there's a UN
624
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:52.519
peacekeeping force there and they just got had one of
625
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.360
their guys got killed today, So it's bad all the
626
00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:58.000
way around.
627
00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:03.360
And jump in real quick, because because I wanted to
628
00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:08.360
say that, I feel like I've spoken to several people
629
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:15.880
and it irks me how a group, you know, such
630
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:21.199
as HESBLA. You know what, whatever, whatever organizations or or
631
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:29.559
terrorist groups there are get uh labeled as the representatives
632
00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:33.159
of entire people of of this government, you know what
633
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:35.159
I mean, of a country. You know what I mean.
634
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:39.440
It's and too often we end up demonizing entire people
635
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:44.119
just because of one group. And I've seen that, yeah,
636
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:45.679
and I'm seeing that again now.
637
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:49.679
Yeah, and right, to be very fair that there are
638
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.960
a lot of people in Lebanon who do not support Hasbelah,
639
00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:59.000
and on occasion there have been active revolts or efforts
640
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:03.480
to try to break that stronghold. But there are also
641
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:06.920
a lot of people who support them, sure, and especially
642
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:10.000
in southern Lebanon where they're at their strongest. But yeah,
643
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:15.280
you can't really judge a country by a group. Imagine
644
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:18.119
if the only people from the United States you met
645
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:22.400
were a bunch of happy Boston fans after the Pats
646
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:26.400
won a Super Bowl, right, right, and those are like
647
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:32.880
the worst people that yeah, then down, Yeah it's either
648
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.480
them or like Philly fans. Okay, So imagine if you
649
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:41.039
have just arrived in the United States and the first
650
00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:46.199
twenty people you meet are all like wildly excited Boston
651
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:49.119
fans after a Patriots victory and they're all like yeah,
652
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:52.239
Tom Brady's the greatest, and we're packing the can and
653
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.960
all that stuff. And then you just be like, oh no,
654
00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:58.039
this country sucks, and then you'd leave, you wouldn't want
655
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:01.360
anything to do with us. But then we'd be like no, no, no, sorry,
656
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:04.119
the rest of us, we're all over here normal. This
657
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:08.360
is the normal part where the normal you know, Lebanon's
658
00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:11.360
full of normal people and they just want to like
659
00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:14.199
go to work and come home and eat supper and
660
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:17.440
go to bed like all the rest of us. Yeah,
661
00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:22.239
I wish the Israelis would stop bombing everybody. It's not good,
662
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:26.760
it's not helping, it doesn't seem to work. I mean
663
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:31.119
literally at this since nineteen eighty fighting the exact same group,
664
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:37.440
that's my entire lifetime has been this exact same war,
665
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:41.079
and nothing has changed. The border hasn't changed, the line
666
00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:45.559
hasn't changed. Who is winning hasn't changed. Nothing has changed.
667
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:50.800
It's time for a new strategy. I mean, the World
668
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:57.519
Cup's coming up, so one could make the case maybe
669
00:45:57.599 --> 00:45:59.880
we settle this on the pitch. Maybe we have a game,
670
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:06.000
you know, play it out, like you know, there's all
671
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:10.159
these these movies in the eighties where like world decisions
672
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:13.559
are decided over arm wrestling championships or whatever. Right, it
673
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:18.039
could be that, and we've tried everything else. Yeah, at
674
00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:21.559
this point, may as well. But Trump's gonna fucking chicken
675
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:25.719
out again, which I can illustrate right here. And uh yeah,
676
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:27.920
here's this is one of one of my Trump chickens.
677
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:34.480
I have many Trump chickens. There he is and uh no,
678
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:37.960
this one's a plastic he's his hand comes off. If
679
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:41.639
you want to switch which hand he's doing the thing with,
680
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.639
he can he can swap. Yeah. I think his oh
681
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:48.599
his hair comes off too. You can rotate that. Yes, yes,
682
00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:51.280
like in real life. Yes, yeah, just like in real life. Yeah,
683
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:56.800
and yeah, Trump always chickens out Taco Taco Taco. So
684
00:46:57.159 --> 00:46:58.840
we'll see where we get to.
685
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:06.639
I don't know by this time next week, anything could happen.
686
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:13.559
I think anything's gonna be different. No, not think it's
687
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:14.119
be different.
688
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:17.719
I don't think anything's will be different. He tweeted forty
689
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:20.400
seven times in the space of three hours. The other day.
690
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:23.199
Everybody talked about that that was like a really bad
691
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:25.760
crash out. I don't know what it was. Was a medication?
692
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:28.400
I don't know if it was a episode or what,
693
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:30.960
but yeah, yeah.
694
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:36.199
He's knocking funds. That's what it is. He's dude's having
695
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:38.000
a time, he's having a tough week.
696
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:41.920
I would love to be at the with the press
697
00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:44.960
corps after that, like like, are we gonna talk about this?
698
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:45.559
Can we? Like?
699
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:49.960
Hey, can can we talk about what your boss did
700
00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:50.840
over the weekend?
701
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:52.800
Do you know what I mean? Like, we can't have
702
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:53.519
that conversation.
703
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:56.679
And I would love to hear him try to, you know,
704
00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:58.519
the mental gymnastics involved with Sehn.
705
00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:03.000
No, they just got quiet piggy and then that's their answer.
706
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.960
There were a few like attempted like questions at this
707
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:11.039
and the White House. They've got a new spokes spokes
708
00:48:11.119 --> 00:48:14.360
wench Abigail Jackson. I think he's her name, and and
709
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:16.920
she her answers to everything are sort of like the
710
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:19.840
very Steve Chung sort of answers where they're like, hey,
711
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:22.559
the president tweeted a million times in a day, is
712
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:26.880
everything okay? And her answer is Trump is the best
713
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:29.519
tweeter of everybody else. Nobody else can tweet like Trump,
714
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:33.679
and you're an idiot for asking or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
715
00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:35.199
she's doing really well, she's.
716
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:36.960
She's gonna keep her job for a good long time
717
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:40.159
once you dare talk about dear leader.
718
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:44.239
Yeah, something like that. All right, here's what we should do.
719
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:48.719
We're gonna make ron predictions on Calshi while we take
720
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:53.000

00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:00.440
There we go. We're gonna play some polymarket bets on
724
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:03.159
whether Trump's gonna chicken out again while we take a break,
725
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:05.159
and when we come back, we're gonna talk about Trump
726
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.360
losing in court again, because that's one of our favorite
727
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.440

774
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:13.639
Lego videos are are quite entertaining, and now he that
775
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:16.920
one's got him talking about how his memes are outpacing
776
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:20.079
Trump's content, which has got to really irk Trump if
777
00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:23.920
he if he hears that, what do you mean He's
778
00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:27.239
got more tweets than me? I gotta tweet forty seven
779
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:32.760
more times like his That's why his hands are all bruised,
780
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:34.280
because he's tweeting all the time.
781
00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:37.719
The thumbs right, it's all.
782
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:40.360
Yeah, he's like he's got no blood flow from holding
783
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:45.079
his phone with his little tiny Yeah, I got rage tweeting,
784
00:52:47.159 --> 00:52:50.880
all right, So let's talk about some Trump court losses.
785
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:53.719
This is a segment that we like to to hit
786
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:57.320
fairly frequently because it happens all the time. So we've
787
00:52:57.400 --> 00:53:00.880
got the one point eight billion dollars slush fund that
788
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:04.559
is not gonna happen, or is gonna happen, but get
789
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:09.599
a different name. Okay, So here's here's the background that
790
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:13.719
everybody needs to know. Is that I think we talked
791
00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:18.079
about this last week, but Trump sued his own government
792
00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:22.079
over something that happened back when he was president the
793
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:25.440
first time, which is that a contract working for the
794
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:30.559
IRS released some of his tax information which he had
795
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:35.199
said he was gonna release and didn't. And so he
796
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:38.559
like said he was aggrieved by this, he was harmed
797
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:42.159
by this. Him and his son sued the IRS for
798
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:47.360
ten billion dollars crazy, and the judge was like, hey,
799
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:49.599
your name's on both sides of the verses on this.
800
00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:51.840
Are you sure this is gonna this is gonna be okay?
801
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:55.920
And Trump was like, you know what, We're gonna settle
802
00:53:55.920 --> 00:53:58.840
out of court. So Trump settled with himself to the
803
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.320
tune of one point eight billion dollars and said, I'm
804
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:03.960
just going to use this to pay all of my
805
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:08.400
friends who stormed the Capitol. That was apparently a bridge
806
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:11.400
too far for a lot of Republicans, especially in Congress,
807
00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:13.599
and they all kind of flipped out, including Ted Cruz.
808
00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:18.400
Even Ted Cruz was like, all right, that's enough, you know.
809
00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:19.800
And and.
810
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:27.440
So three things happened. One, a bunch of judges, retired
811
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:30.280
judges wrote this big letter to the judge that was
812
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:32.960
overseeing that case in an open letter and said, hey,
813
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:35.000
you need to go back and re review this and
814
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:37.519
see if there's anything here. And she did agree to
815
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:43.079
go re review it and said there's a big problem here.
816
00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:47.719
The second thing that happened is Congressional Republicans refused to
817
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:51.960
vote on funding for DHS for Department of Homeland Security
818
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:57.199
until this got mixed, essentially because it's Congress's job to
819
00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:00.880
appropriate money and say how it gets spent, not the president's.
820
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:03.199
He doesn't just get to take two billion dollars and
821
00:55:03.280 --> 00:55:06.960
hainte it out however he wants, whoever he wants, So
822
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:10.800
that happened. And then the third thing that happened is
823
00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:15.920
that this was massively unpopular. A lot of people, including
824
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.440
a lot of Trump voters were like, this doesn't sit
825
00:55:19.559 --> 00:55:23.880
well with us. The Congression Republicans were like, hey, man,
826
00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:26.519
I don't think I want you paying the guys that
827
00:55:26.679 --> 00:55:30.280
tried to kill us back in twenty twenty. Right, it
828
00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:32.960
was too blatant. Yeah, it was too much and it
829
00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:38.559
was too obvious. So auditioning for the role of attorney
830
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:44.440
general is one former Trump personal lawyer, what's his name,
831
00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:53.559
Todd bitch Blanche not blanch blanchch Yes, yeah. Uh. He
832
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:56.760
he was like, all right, I'm gonna he had to
833
00:55:56.800 --> 00:55:59.480
go to testify it because he's the acting agent, he
834
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:00.440
doesn't have to chotiet.
835
00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:01.039
Uh.
836
00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:04.000
He had to go testify on the like the budget
837
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:08.280
to the Judiciary Committee, and they were like, what are
838
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:12.719
you doing with this fucking fun guy? And he goes, well,
839
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:17.719
we're just gonna not do it. And yeah, he said
840
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:20.760
it was dead. That was what he said. And so
841
00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:23.800
then then Congress pushed him on it, and they're like,
842
00:56:24.280 --> 00:56:26.960
what do you mean dead, and he goes, we're not
843
00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:28.840
going to set up the fund, We're not going to
844
00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:31.360
pay the fund because the judge had enjoyed them from
845
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:33.480
doing that. That's the other thing that happened. I forgot
846
00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:36.159
to mention that a judge had reviewed this and enjoyed
847
00:56:36.159 --> 00:56:39.000
them from setting up the fund, paying anybody from the fund,
848
00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:41.079
putting any money in the fund, doing anything with it
849
00:56:41.480 --> 00:56:45.960
until they decided, and rather than losing court again, they
850
00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:47.559
were just like, all right, we're gonna not do it,
851
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:50.760
but there's nothing on paper that says they're not going
852
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:54.280
to do it. And the other part of the settlement
853
00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:56.880
where the IRS is not allowed to actually investigate Trump
854
00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:00.239
ever again over anything, ever, ever, ever, which of course
855
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:02.519
won't hold off in court when their new president's in charge,
856
00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:08.840
that part is still very much not off the table,
857
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:15.800
that is still in effect. According to Toddley. However, that
858
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:21.760
was two days ago Tuesday. Tuesday, Blanche was on the
859
00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:23.800
hill and said this is dead. We're not going to
860
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:30.239
do it. On Wednesday. On Wednesday, Trump emerged. He hadn't
861
00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:32.400
been seen for an entire week, by the way, no
862
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:38.000
public appearances, no nothing, you know, because he was busy
863
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:45.599
acing dementia tests. And so he emerges from his I
864
00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:50.760
don't know, let's call it KFC coma and he goes
865
00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:54.039
he goes, I am here, who wants to ask me something?
866
00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:58.199
And everybody goes, hey, what's up with this slush fund? Right?
867
00:57:58.360 --> 00:58:02.280
Is it really dead? And he goes, I have to
868
00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:05.639
ask the lawyers, I don't know, and they're like, what
869
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:08.519
do you mean you don't know? Like that's you have
870
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:11.360
to you have to definitively say no, right. He never does.
871
00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:15.039
He never definited. He's always like kind of like yeah, yeah, Never.
872
00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:17.840
He never gives a straight answer, you know. He loves
873
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:22.480
to leave the possibility in your mind, you know what
874
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:22.760
I mean.
875
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:26.320
Yeah, Well, because when it goes wrong, he can be like,
876
00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:29.039
I never said that it was he never said that, right, yeah,
877
00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:31.840
or else he can blame somebody, which which I guess
878
00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:34.920
what he did later when he said a radical left judge.
879
00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:39.159
Right ruled against this thing and and and shut it down.
880
00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:43.920
Yeah. So the president's vaguer response where he was he
881
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:46.880
was vaguer than than Todd Blanche is likely to royal
882
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:51.719
the Republican lawmakers again, many of whom are sharply opposed
883
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:54.079
to the fund and pressure the White House by to
884
00:58:54.199 --> 00:58:57.480
abandon it by threatening to derail a seventy two billion
885
00:58:57.559 --> 00:59:01.199
dollar immigration enforcement funding package did Trump badly wants. So
886
00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:04.400
there's more DHS money available or not available. It's all
887
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:07.920
debt anyway. But there's more money that Congress wants to
888
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:11.320
vote on to give to Ice, but they don't want
889
00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:15.719
to do it if he doesn't declare this thing off.
890
00:59:17.440 --> 00:59:21.840
So leverage one of the other. Right, right, Yeah, it's
891
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:26.679
again we're looking at these rare instances of backbone in Congress,
892
00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:31.679
and it's it's not the end. It's not the damn bursting.
893
00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:34.880
But it is a trickle it is. It is worth
894
00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:41.480
noting that. So there's nothing on paper yet. N Trump
895
00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:43.440
went on to say, we'll see how it all works out,
896
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:45.960
but a radical lef judge ruled against it. But these people,
897
00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:48.360
their lives have been destroyed, their families have been destroyed.
898
00:59:48.360 --> 00:59:53.719
He's talking about January sixth. He's patriots, man. Yes, their
899
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:56.239
lives have been destroyed. Their families have been destroyed, many
900
00:59:56.320 --> 00:59:58.719
of them, not just I'm not just talking about a
901
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:03.239
few people, many of them. I'm one of them. Are
902
01:00:03.360 --> 01:00:09.239
you now your life has been destroyed? Yeah, he's a victim.
903
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:15.320
He always talks about this as it's like a day
904
01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:18.400
of love, which I think is is hilarious. It is.
905
01:00:18.599 --> 01:00:21.360
Yeah, that's what yo, That's what the noose was. The
906
01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:22.760
noose was for a neck hug.
907
01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:25.239
It was it was a necklace. It was it was
908
01:00:25.360 --> 01:00:31.159
a Mike Pence necklace. Necklace. Yeah, they know, well it's
909
01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:38.119
very in these days, those chokers. See what you did there? Yeah, yeah,
910
01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:42.840
reilling to given Mike Pence a choker. Hey, I hear,
911
01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:46.000
I hear. Maybe Pete Hegg sets into that. So oh
912
01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:53.480
that's what he was doing with those sailors. Okay, Speaking
913
01:00:53.559 --> 01:01:01.639
of which, another loss dayline Washington. A divided federal appeals
914
01:01:01.679 --> 01:01:05.559
court ruled Monday that the Trump administration's policy banning transgender
915
01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:10.719
individuals from serving in the military is likely unconstitutional. A
916
01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:13.079
panel of three judges for the US Court of Appeals
917
01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:16.559
to the DC Circuit split two to one in finding
918
01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:20.960
that the band rolled out by Secretary of Defense but
919
01:01:21.239 --> 01:01:25.960
prefers his preferred pronouns or Secretary of War. You see
920
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:30.599
how he likes to change his pronouns. Pete hegseeth last
921
01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:35.039
year was driven by quote animus towards transgender people. I
922
01:01:35.079 --> 01:01:36.719
don't know what gave that away, the part where he
923
01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:38.559
said they're all a bunch of weirdos and I don't
924
01:01:38.559 --> 01:01:41.320
want them around or something like that. What did he say,
925
01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:45.679
no weirdos, no fatis and no beardos or something. He
926
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:49.960
had a line it is, yeah, in this Quantico speech,
927
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:54.719
no weirdos and no beardos, something like that. Judges Judith
928
01:01:54.880 --> 01:02:01.800
Rogers and Robert Wilkins agreed that the trumpetmanministration's policy targeting
929
01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:07.000
transgender service members likely violated the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection.
930
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:12.719
I don't know what gave that away. So there is
931
01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:16.000
now a preliminary injunction that has been left in place
932
01:02:16.559 --> 01:02:19.880
saying that no, you can't fire all the transgender service members.
933
01:02:20.360 --> 01:02:23.599
That means that now you've got some disagreement. They're likely
934
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:26.119
to appeal this up to the Supreme Court. I'm quite
935
01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:29.440
sure neighbor Clarence and Sam and Alito are going to
936
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:32.760
be like you transgender people, that's the ick, and then
937
01:02:32.920 --> 01:02:36.639
everybody else is going to be like, dude, who fucking cares, dude.
938
01:02:36.679 --> 01:02:40.760
It is so stupid. I mean, this is literally out
939
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:41.079
of the.
940
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:45.719
I don't even know how many people in the military
941
01:02:45.760 --> 01:02:49.199
we have. It's so few people, and they're volunteering to
942
01:02:49.440 --> 01:02:53.239
fight and die for you, and we're talking about zero
943
01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:59.159
point two to zero point five percent, right, that's not
944
01:02:59.320 --> 01:03:03.119
even a drop in the bucket. And we're talking about
945
01:03:03.880 --> 01:03:07.039
you know that we're putting devote so much energy towards
946
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:07.920
something like this.
947
01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:13.239
It's it's also they probably don't know like nobody else knows.
948
01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:16.440
And if you ask their unit that they're in, everybody
949
01:03:16.480 --> 01:03:18.039
in the unit looks out for everybody else in the
950
01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:20.599
un They don't give a shit what they're who they are,
951
01:03:20.719 --> 01:03:22.840
what their affiliation is, or any of that other stuff.
952
01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:25.400
They're all together all the time. Anyway, That's what we're
953
01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:27.280
supposed to That's the way it's supposed to be right.
954
01:03:27.400 --> 01:03:31.360
That is right. You know some people who are military
955
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:35.679
folks or former military folks. I happen to have a
956
01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:38.320
lot of that around in my life too, and you know,
957
01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:42.079
ask them try to find some division. A really fun
958
01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:44.719
thing to do, not fun thing to do, is to
959
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:48.239
watch a group of people who serve together, especially who
960
01:03:48.360 --> 01:03:52.920
deployed together, get together and they will call each other
961
01:03:53.079 --> 01:03:56.239
names all day long. They will say the worst things
962
01:03:56.280 --> 01:03:58.760
about each other. They'll tell terrible stories on each other.
963
01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:01.599
And then if you want to try and see if
964
01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:04.280
you survive this, lob one of your own insults in
965
01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:07.480
there at one of them and watch how fast they
966
01:04:07.559 --> 01:04:11.760
all turn on you. Yeah, you have to watch your
967
01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:16.519
back yeah after that. Yeah, yeah, man, they stick together
968
01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:20.039
and this is a dumb thing for anybody to care about.
969
01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:22.440
Did you find the quote what's the Weirdos and Buda?
970
01:04:23.679 --> 01:04:26.320
It was basically just no more dudes in dresses?
971
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:30.800
Right? Oh no, No, we're leaving behind wopness and in
972
01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:34.960
weakness behind. No more pronouns, no more climate change obsession,
973
01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:39.519
no more emergency vaccine mandates, no more dudes in dresses.
974
01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:43.280
We're done with that. Shit. Nice, that's what he said.
975
01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:45.559
That's what we said.
976
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:47.880
I mean, so a shout out to what's what's the
977
01:04:47.920 --> 01:04:49.880
guy from mash Clinger?
978
01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:54.840
Yeah? What was his name? Clinger? Yeah? Yeah, and he
979
01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:57.239
used to wear a dress all the time, the only one.
980
01:04:57.320 --> 01:04:59.880
That's the only one that got away with it. Yeah. Well,
981
01:05:01.559 --> 01:05:04.320
I don't know what what Pete's so worried about, but
982
01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:06.960
judging by the way he's dancing, I I think that
983
01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:12.000
maybe he's worried about being judged. Mm hmm, yeah, I
984
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:17.239
think I don't think he protests a little a little much. Right, Hey,
985
01:05:17.320 --> 01:05:20.719
I watched drag Race. I don't I don't. I'm not
986
01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:25.800
personally competing in it, but like the the pain that
987
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:29.199
I feel when I hear RuPaul tearing somebody down for
988
01:05:29.280 --> 01:05:32.440
their poor performance. That is that is real, and that
989
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:37.159
is strong. And I do believe that, mister Haig said
990
01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:42.000
fears that kind of judgment. Hey, look, I think we
991
01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:43.480
all do. I don't want to. I don't want to
992
01:05:43.480 --> 01:05:45.079
be on the receiving end of that. You don't want
993
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:47.840
to be walking past Nelly's on a nice day and
994
01:05:48.199 --> 01:05:52.800
hear the chirping from the balcony talk about oh he
995
01:05:52.840 --> 01:06:01.559
would wear that, wouldn't That's a very inside DC. That's crazy,
996
01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:07.760
all right. And here's one the Trump won kind of
997
01:06:07.840 --> 01:06:10.840
I don't know it's really him winning. But so we
998
01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:14.159
talked about this a few weeks ago. Remember that now
999
01:06:14.239 --> 01:06:16.320
it's illegal for black people to vote in the South again.
1000
01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:18.480
We had like a war about this, and then we
1001
01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:22.159
had like several consins, and then we had like a
1002
01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:25.199
whole civil rights thing, and now that's over. We're back
1003
01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:30.880
to rights. Yeah, Jim Crow two point zero it rhymes.
1004
01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:31.639
Even we're here.
1005
01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:34.199
Yeah. It's just all they did was wait for Jesse
1006
01:06:34.360 --> 01:06:37.679
Jackson to die and then they're like, bam, get him. Yeah,
1007
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:40.280
is that what it was? I think I'm sure that's
1008
01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:42.559
what it was. Jesse was the only one stopping it,
1009
01:06:42.760 --> 01:06:46.320
and then they're like, he's gone. They go live if
1010
01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:50.239
he's dead, and then they they were like yeah, bam.
1011
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:54.559
So in the run up to that, though, right in
1012
01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:59.239
twenty twenty three, Alabama tried to redistrict and draw out
1013
01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:01.960
all the black back districts. Even though that's a state
1014
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:05.840
that's almost thirty percent black. Okay, it's twenty seven percent black.
1015
01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:10.039
They've got seven congressional seats. They redrew the line so
1016
01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:13.679
that only one of them is a majority black district.
1017
01:07:14.039 --> 01:07:18.760
So one out of seven is not thirty percent. That
1018
01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:21.079
would be two out of six would be thirty percent.
1019
01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:25.599
That is not that. So they they were they were
1020
01:07:26.400 --> 01:07:32.519
forced into drawing a second district because of laws, and
1021
01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:35.760
that would be roughly thirty percent, and that would be
1022
01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:39.239
roughly correct. So then they went to go try to
1023
01:07:39.320 --> 01:07:43.719
draw that out again, and that got challenged in court.
1024
01:07:44.280 --> 01:07:47.880
And when it got to the court, they got all
1025
01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:50.960
the information and like, what was the reasoning for doing
1026
01:07:51.119 --> 01:07:56.119
this Alabama? And they found all the emails and conversations
1027
01:07:56.239 --> 01:07:59.840
that the I don't know, district drawing guys that the
1028
01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:03.639
Alabama State legislature had had, and they were very racist.
1029
01:08:04.039 --> 01:08:06.360
They were like, we need to stop black people from
1030
01:08:06.440 --> 01:08:09.920
voting because they're bad. And then there was another Then
1031
01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:12.880
the reply email was like, yeah, I also hate it
1032
01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:15.920
when black people can vote. And so the Supreme Court,
1033
01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:19.079
this exact court looked at that in twenty twenty three
1034
01:08:19.079 --> 01:08:24.479
and goes, yo, that's racist even for Alabama, Like that's explicit. No,
1035
01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:28.239
you can't do this. You gotta put the district back right,
1036
01:08:28.760 --> 01:08:32.720
And that was the ruling. Then the ruling on Louisiana
1037
01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:35.800
comes just this last term where they say, in fact,
1038
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:42.119
Louisiana violated the civil rights of white people by drawing
1039
01:08:42.319 --> 01:08:45.560
them into a district that is mostly black.
1040
01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.159
They ah, so they flipped it. Okay, they did.
1041
01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:52.039
They they did. They pulled the uno reverse they did.
1042
01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:55.920
They said the white people were not being able to
1043
01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:59.359
pick a candidate of their choice and that they were
1044
01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:04.279
the minority and that they had been discriminated against on
1045
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:07.600
the basis of race. I see what they did there. Okay,
1046
01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:13.199
imagine using the Fourteenth Amendment against black people. Yeah, pretty pretty,
1047
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:14.279
pretty tall.
1048
01:09:14.920 --> 01:09:17.359
Yeah, I guess it's It's.
1049
01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:21.319
The most Clarence Thomas thing you could imagine, is is that.
1050
01:09:23.079 --> 01:09:24.279
Is that that's the great way to put it, The
1051
01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:26.319
most Clarence Thomas thing you can imagine.
1052
01:09:26.760 --> 01:09:29.359
Yeah, so so so they kept they.
1053
01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:32.199
Kept hammering away at until they got what they wanted basically.
1054
01:09:32.199 --> 01:09:35.720
Basically they did and so they they got that ruling.
1055
01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:40.159
Then Alabama went to go put their racist districts back,
1056
01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:44.960
and initially the Supreme Court was like, no, you can't
1057
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:47.760
do that because we already ruled on this and it
1058
01:09:47.960 --> 01:09:51.800
was racist then. But don't worry. The Supreme Court on
1059
01:09:51.880 --> 01:09:55.479
Tuesday cleared the way for Alabama to use congressional map
1060
01:09:55.560 --> 01:09:59.720
favored by Republicans, meaning white supremacists. The Court, in an
1061
01:09:59.800 --> 01:10:02.920
un order, overturned three just district panel that found that
1062
01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:07.319
the map quote is tainted by intentional race based discrimination.
1063
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:13.479
The Supreme Courts three liberal justices dissented publicly dissented. The
1064
01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:17.560
ruling means that Alabama's twenty twenty six mid term elections
1065
01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:21.680
will feature six Republican districts and one Democratic district, as
1066
01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:24.920
opposed to a map that had only five Republican seats.
1067
01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:30.439
Democrat Schamari Figures, who represents Alabama's second congressional district, will
1068
01:10:30.640 --> 01:10:32.720
likely lose his seat as a result of the High
1069
01:10:32.760 --> 01:10:43.399
courts ruling. Shocking so they overturned their own ruling to say, Okay,
1070
01:10:43.520 --> 01:10:47.439
now you can go back to being explicitly racist Alabama.
1071
01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:59.479
Wow, I just like the idea of just restricting voting
1072
01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:02.399
and and you know, the gerrymandering and all. This is
1073
01:11:02.600 --> 01:11:06.479
really uh yeah, you're right, it is so Jim Crow.
1074
01:11:07.199 --> 01:11:12.680
It insenses me that we're back to this, Like what
1075
01:11:12.920 --> 01:11:19.680
what is? Why can't we just let the chips fall
1076
01:11:19.720 --> 01:11:23.000
where they made? I mean, we don't, we don't like Well,
1077
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:23.760
consider this.
1078
01:11:24.119 --> 01:11:28.319
If your ideas are ship and nobody likes them, you're
1079
01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:32.199
not gonna win elections, right right, So if you want
1080
01:11:32.279 --> 01:11:36.439
to stay in power, your choices are run on ideas
1081
01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:40.840
that people like or choose who gets to vote.
1082
01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:45.039
The thing is, you know, there's there there there There
1083
01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:48.520
aren't as significant there's a significant number of people who
1084
01:11:48.680 --> 01:11:52.600
have shared their ideals, so they could still try just
1085
01:11:52.800 --> 01:11:55.239
try try to reach those people, try, you know what
1086
01:11:55.239 --> 01:11:57.199
I mean, and and try to get them to come out.
1087
01:11:58.399 --> 01:12:00.760
The only way to stop this, of course, is the
1088
01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:03.239
thing that stopped it back in the sixties, which is
1089
01:12:03.479 --> 01:12:07.039
enough white people have to get upset about this in
1090
01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:12.079
the right direction and voted out, vote them out, voted down,
1091
01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:17.239
change the dynamics of who's in charge and put people
1092
01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:23.600
into positions of power. Who will fix this? Now? Are
1093
01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:27.560
you going to find another LBJ? Probably not, You know,
1094
01:12:28.319 --> 01:12:33.439
to find a white guy from Texas who is so
1095
01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:38.920
dead set unending segregation that he would literally twist arms,
1096
01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:41.479
literally twist arms if people say figuratively, you know, Oh,
1097
01:12:41.560 --> 01:12:45.039
he's a real arm twister. LBJ would go up to
1098
01:12:45.159 --> 01:12:48.199
the Senate. He would go meet up with the senators
1099
01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:50.319
because he used to be Senate Majority leader. He would
1100
01:12:50.399 --> 01:12:53.760
go meet his former colleagues and punch them until they
1101
01:12:53.880 --> 01:12:58.600
voted the right way on these things. You're not gonna
1102
01:12:58.640 --> 01:13:02.199
find that. I mean, I don't see that unless they
1103
01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:04.439
make me president. It's not gonna work.
1104
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:11.039
President ay Man repping for what was the stand? Uh
1105
01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:14.319
Jama stand, Pajama jams Jama Stan. Yeah.
1106
01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:18.439
Well, Chip Katastan is up and running now. Uh we're
1107
01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:21.039
We're still working on our go fund meat to send
1108
01:13:21.119 --> 01:13:25.279
us to micro con. So stay tuned for that. But uh, yeah,
1109
01:13:25.319 --> 01:13:28.239
I think you already got a position in the government,
1110
01:13:28.239 --> 01:13:30.520
whether you wanted it or not. I think we I
1111
01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:34.560
think we made you Minister of Culture or something like that. Yeah,
1112
01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:38.159
like it. I don't I don't remember all the titles
1113
01:13:38.199 --> 01:13:40.600
I've doled out over these uh these little while, but
1114
01:13:41.239 --> 01:13:42.000
it's it's fine.
1115
01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:45.239
Yeah, yeah, let me visit that because I'm I want
1116
01:13:45.279 --> 01:13:48.720
to I need a car, a card, a shirt or something.
1117
01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:51.079
Yeah. Oh yeah, no, we're gonna have we'll have gear.
1118
01:13:51.479 --> 01:13:53.239
I don't I don't know that anybody wants it, but
1119
01:13:54.560 --> 01:13:57.159
we're gonna we're gonna put our logo all over everybody.
1120
01:13:58.479 --> 01:14:02.000
But yeah, I just I don't see like a solution
1121
01:14:02.119 --> 01:14:05.000
to this. Now. There is this one path that's kind
1122
01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:07.520
of like popped up. It's a little bit popular, is
1123
01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:14.600
that some groups have been targeting college athletics as a
1124
01:14:14.640 --> 01:14:18.760
way to change the behavior of some of these Southern states,
1125
01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:24.279
trying to convince young black athletes that it is not
1126
01:14:24.520 --> 01:14:28.439
worth it to go play for Alabama or Ole Miss
1127
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:33.920
or Georgia or something like that because you're going to
1128
01:14:33.960 --> 01:14:36.920
be in a racist environment and that's no good, and
1129
01:14:37.079 --> 01:14:40.760
instead go to some place like Michigan or Penn State
1130
01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:48.479
or you know, UCLA or whatever. And if you if
1131
01:14:48.680 --> 01:14:51.600
Alabamians have to choose, we talked about this, I think
1132
01:14:51.600 --> 01:14:55.279
a couple of weeks ago. Between having a winning football
1133
01:14:55.399 --> 01:14:59.720
team and being racist, I think they will choose winning football. Team,
1134
01:15:00.319 --> 01:15:04.119
and so it's like, you need to get this right, Alabama,
1135
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:07.199
fix your fucking districts or you're never winning the SEC
1136
01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:10.119
ever again. And then they're gonna be like alright, right,
1137
01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:16.119
right right, all the voting, everybody can vote. We don't
1138
01:15:16.119 --> 01:15:21.199
want to there you go, you're right. Imagine if Georgia
1139
01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:23.159
is like, all right, well we have black districts, you
1140
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:25.600
can come here, and then Georgia is like just standing
1141
01:15:25.680 --> 01:15:28.279
over Alabama like, hah, we have all of the black
1142
01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:30.520
players and Alabama is stuck.
1143
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:32.439
Oh man, that would be beautiful.
1144
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:36.079
Yeah, and then Georgia would be the crusader for civil rights.
1145
01:15:38.479 --> 01:15:43.119
Could you imagine Georgia, Georgia being the captain of civil rights? Oh,
1146
01:15:44.199 --> 01:15:50.560
we have all the black players Alabama? Yeah, and Alabama
1147
01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:57.359
will roll over. Yeah, gotcha, I thought you did. Ah.
1148
01:15:59.439 --> 01:16:02.760
Even here would be if Ole miss was able to
1149
01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:07.039
like out recruit Bama and Georgia because they got it
1150
01:16:07.159 --> 01:16:10.560
right on civil rights and they were the ones standing
1151
01:16:10.600 --> 01:16:13.680
there in the middle of the SEC going look at
1152
01:16:13.760 --> 01:16:17.119
you fools, we have all the black players.
1153
01:16:17.199 --> 01:16:21.960
Now we're close, We're getting there. I've noticed a lot
1154
01:16:22.039 --> 01:16:24.600
of these teams, Uh what what's what was.
1155
01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:25.800
The There was an issue with.
1156
01:16:27.319 --> 01:16:30.640
Uh HBCUs, we're kind of pulling a lot of black
1157
01:16:30.720 --> 01:16:32.079
players as well.
1158
01:16:32.199 --> 01:16:35.079
Yeah. Well there was the Jackson State move there for
1159
01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:37.760
for a hot second with coach Prime, who then immediately
1160
01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:40.680
left for a big public university. Yeah.
1161
01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:43.520
Yeah, but that that could because yeah, yeah, so that
1162
01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:46.359
could be a thing. Man, You better treat your black players, right,
1163
01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:47.439
you know that Democrat?
1164
01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:53.159
Yeah, I like that. I like that as a as
1165
01:16:53.159 --> 01:16:56.399
a as a move you know what I mean? Political? Yeah,
1166
01:16:56.439 --> 01:16:59.079
I mean if you think about politics, like Tess likes
1167
01:16:59.079 --> 01:17:00.640
to say all the time, it's about persuasion.
1168
01:17:00.720 --> 01:17:00.800
Right.
1169
01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:03.039
These are all just questions of persuasion. So what you
1170
01:17:03.119 --> 01:17:04.840
got to do is find the thing that people care
1171
01:17:04.840 --> 01:17:07.840
about the most and then use that as a way
1172
01:17:07.880 --> 01:17:11.359
to advance your idea. And if there's anything anybody cares
1173
01:17:11.399 --> 01:17:20.359
about in the Deep South, it's college football. So focus focus, guys. Yeah, Hey,
1174
01:17:21.119 --> 01:17:23.640
I'm not out here in the recruiting trenches. I'm not
1175
01:17:23.760 --> 01:17:26.119
out here with Michigan is not We are not having
1176
01:17:26.159 --> 01:17:28.840
this problem, all right, We don't have this problem. We
1177
01:17:28.920 --> 01:17:32.119
have voting. Everybody votes in Michigan. We have all the voting.
1178
01:17:32.239 --> 01:17:35.159
Detroit is very black. It's fine, but.
1179
01:17:37.960 --> 01:17:43.199
Hey, just saying Hey, the personal is political, so it's
1180
01:17:43.279 --> 01:17:45.600
all it's all tied in.
1181
01:17:46.199 --> 01:17:50.960
If you're a big defensive end from deep in Alabama
1182
01:17:51.479 --> 01:17:54.239
and you don't want to be there where you can't vote,
1183
01:17:54.760 --> 01:17:57.880
ann Arbor is a lovely place where there are lots
1184
01:17:57.920 --> 01:18:01.239
of voting booths and you can come come to ann
1185
01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:06.840
Arbor and and sack quarterbacks for us. Yeah, yeah, right,
1186
01:18:07.159 --> 01:18:12.720
we'd love that. Please come with us. See that's a
1187
01:18:12.800 --> 01:18:16.880
perfect that's a perfect drawn. Maybe I should run. Okay,
1188
01:18:18.560 --> 01:18:20.119
I think it's time for the third half of the show,
1189
01:18:20.119 --> 01:18:22.800
which means we should take a break and uh, and
1190
01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:24.720
then when we come back we can talk about the
1191
01:18:25.079 --> 01:18:27.359
third half of the show. Brian, what do you think
1192
01:18:27.359 --> 01:18:30.239
about that? Since you haven't had too much input today?
1193
01:18:34.079 --> 01:18:39.960
The South sucks there you go, all right? You want
1194
01:18:40.000 --> 01:18:44.760
to take a break, Brian, Oh sure, if you want. Yeah,
1195
01:18:44.880 --> 01:18:47.479
let's take a break. Test isn't here to do his
1196
01:18:47.560 --> 01:18:50.159
test talk, so we're gonna have to do our version
1197
01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:57.239
of econ NERD while he's not here, just even more boring.
1198
01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:01.720
So we're gonna take a break and come back and
1199
01:19:01.800 --> 01:19:06.239
talk about economics. You're listening to Tipchat on BELTWEH Radio
1200
01:19:06.359 --> 01:19:18.920
and beyond Wow. The company store the paradigm of absolute control.
1201
01:19:19.800 --> 01:19:21.800
And that's why we're trying here doing simple things, pointing
1202
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:24.000
out that we're meant to be in nature of the nastraul.
1203
01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:25.960
And this is where we find the source that God.
1204
01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:28.720
Made to transcend the new world order, and that's why
1205
01:19:28.720 --> 01:19:29.840
they want to try to keep us out of it.
1206
01:19:30.439 --> 01:19:39.840
I'm paid enough for these people, he Christian munder Stone.
1207
01:19:39.960 --> 01:19:44.159
Then with giant death factors keeping babies alive, he.
1208
01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:47.319
Said in that body post, with all you need to
1209
01:19:47.399 --> 01:19:49.439
know all about these people, I'll go.
1210
01:19:49.640 --> 01:19:51.359
Out and face these Stone.
1211
01:19:52.680 --> 01:19:55.079
They literally called out from under routs.
1212
01:19:55.439 --> 01:19:57.840
They have creen and the can stink and they're on
1213
01:19:58.039 --> 01:20:01.880
a raft screaming leave the Satan. We want any babies.
1214
01:20:04.199 --> 01:20:05.760
I have them on video.
1215
01:20:09.159 --> 01:20:11.840
Hillary is in the creepy weird six stuff.
1216
01:20:12.039 --> 01:20:19.119
Man, she sleeps in the same room with that creepy
1217
01:20:19.199 --> 01:20:22.600
weird A woman was mother wessard foot over her head.
1218
01:20:23.159 --> 01:20:29.439
The woman noble one is up lead. Imagine how bad
1219
01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:36.399
she smells, man. I told her head Obama, Justine Obama,
1220
01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:39.960
and you rebos now that soulfa.
1221
01:20:47.600 --> 01:20:53.439
Little rue lampirebot. Then the gopplins hobbling around, coming.
1222
01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:55.439
After rose a spear.
1223
01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:58.279
It gets close to that. Heather Land up here.
1224
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:06.520
Ah, you such self cynograph.
1225
01:21:06.720 --> 01:21:07.680
We don't even know.
1226
01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:12.399
It's had itself rising up against the millions of.
1227
01:21:12.520 --> 01:21:17.640
Party people of the fair worst stip man. I've saws
1228
01:21:19.399 --> 01:21:27.239

1230
01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:37.119

1231
01:21:37.640 --> 01:21:42.279
And then the christ jee is gonna say we love
1232
01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:45.600
our somebody, we love our Muslims.
1233
01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:54.359
All that's all less. I was watching Fox News. I
1234
01:21:54.439 --> 01:22:00.880
worked out this morning. All right, welcome to here on
1235
01:22:01.000 --> 01:22:07.039
Belot Radio and beyond. Chip Patrick is somewhere, he's uh
1236
01:22:07.520 --> 01:22:12.880
switching cameras. He'll be right back. That's that's right up
1237
01:22:12.880 --> 01:22:14.960
there with leftis ass. That's I think that's one of
1238
01:22:15.000 --> 01:22:15.800
my favorite ones.
1239
01:22:16.199 --> 01:22:16.359
Right.
1240
01:22:16.760 --> 01:22:22.199
Uh So, as Tez usually does after we we play
1241
01:22:22.279 --> 01:22:25.399
Alex Jones, we feel bad for platforming him. We are
1242
01:22:25.479 --> 01:22:28.319
not platforming him. We are making fun of him. And
1243
01:22:28.720 --> 01:22:32.600
uh so, to find ourselves of this, we want to
1244
01:22:32.720 --> 01:22:35.079
remind everybody that you can go to Sandy hook Promise
1245
01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:39.560
dot org. You can donate to try to help the
1246
01:22:39.640 --> 01:22:42.800
cause and try to help the folks that were harmed.
1247
01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:48.199
So badly buy Alex Jones and his weird conspiracies regarding
1248
01:22:48.239 --> 01:22:52.119
Sandy Hook and everything else for that matter. And uh yeah,
1249
01:22:53.479 --> 01:22:55.960
and the Onion owns Info wars now, but that doesn't
1250
01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:59.159
stop him from broadcasting, Like he just found some other way.
1251
01:22:59.319 --> 01:23:03.279
You know, he's just doing a show. He's not sufficiently
1252
01:23:03.359 --> 01:23:06.800
bankrupt to where he stopped being on air, So that's unfortunate.
1253
01:23:06.920 --> 01:23:09.520
But maybe we'll get more of these videos. I don't know,
1254
01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:13.520
we have to go find some some more auto tuned
1255
01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:18.000
Alex Jones. But that that is, that's a good one.
1256
01:23:18.680 --> 01:23:23.520
That is a really good one. The the the bit
1257
01:23:23.600 --> 01:23:26.640
about how they're like I have them on video, the
1258
01:23:26.960 --> 01:23:29.399
they're green skin crawling out from under rods.
1259
01:23:29.640 --> 01:23:32.760
Like Okay, I feel like I feel like we need
1260
01:23:32.880 --> 01:23:37.359
some uh uh yeah. Can we get a slush fund
1261
01:23:37.399 --> 01:23:39.079
for the victims of Alex Jones?
1262
01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:42.199
Yeah, well there kind of is. That's a Sandy Hook
1263
01:23:42.279 --> 01:23:45.239
promised dot org. Go donate to that slush fund and
1264
01:23:45.520 --> 01:23:49.439
uh and make sure that those folks get get some help. Yeah,
1265
01:23:49.880 --> 01:23:52.079
who would be the victims of Alex Jones? I mean,
1266
01:23:52.119 --> 01:23:54.880
apart from the obvious the Sandy Hook families, But like,
1267
01:23:56.199 --> 01:23:56.800
aren't we all?
1268
01:23:57.520 --> 01:24:00.600
I was gonna say, Man, every time I've watched I
1269
01:24:00.680 --> 01:24:03.279
think I deserve a little bit of compensation.
1270
01:24:03.880 --> 01:24:06.920
I've been harmed. I have, in fact, been harmed by
1271
01:24:07.000 --> 01:24:12.000
Alex Jones's existence. Yes, have you been harmed by Alex Jones?
1272
01:24:12.920 --> 01:24:16.560
Call this number. You may be entitled to compensation. Absolutely.
1273
01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:17.159
Yeah.
1274
01:24:17.880 --> 01:24:20.600
All right, So now is where we would do the
1275
01:24:20.720 --> 01:24:25.159
tes talk, where we would talk about these dead ass birds.
1276
01:24:26.520 --> 01:24:28.800
But this one's not really about the environment. This one
1277
01:24:28.960 --> 01:24:32.840
is about the economy. Now. The thing is, that's another
1278
01:24:32.880 --> 01:24:34.560
thing that Tess loves to talk about because he wants
1279
01:24:34.600 --> 01:24:38.119
to grow up to be on marketplace. And we're talking
1280
01:24:38.119 --> 01:24:43.079
about affordability. Okay, but that word is a squishy word.
1281
01:24:43.640 --> 01:24:45.920
Trump says that it's a fake word, that it was
1282
01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:49.920
made up because he'd never heard it before. It doesn't
1283
01:24:49.920 --> 01:24:54.239
mean it's made up. But new research from Brookings released
1284
01:24:54.279 --> 01:24:58.880
Wednesday describes affordability by comparing the rising costs of essentials
1285
01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:01.600
against family incomes, and by that measure, the report found
1286
01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:05.640
that in twenty twenty four, forty five point five percent
1287
01:25:05.720 --> 01:25:10.760
of US households did not earn enough to cover their necessities.
1288
01:25:11.079 --> 01:25:15.439
That's half, okay, So if half of the country can't
1289
01:25:15.479 --> 01:25:24.319
afford food, shelter, water, I don't know, pay per pals
1290
01:25:24.520 --> 01:25:28.960
like the basic shit. That's a problem. Right. The report
1291
01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:31.800
concluded that a mere one thousand dollars hike in the
1292
01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:35.760
annual cost of living would leave another three million households
1293
01:25:36.159 --> 01:25:41.399
unable to make ends meet. One thousand dollars a year, okay, right,
1294
01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:45.199
spread that out, that's one hundred bucks a month. Yeah,
1295
01:25:46.760 --> 01:25:49.119
So if your costs go up by one hundred bucks
1296
01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:52.439
a month, three million people, that that would be a
1297
01:25:52.560 --> 01:25:54.840
hit so significant that they would not be able to
1298
01:25:54.920 --> 01:26:00.960
make ends meet, right, Right, that's an alarming static. Now
1299
01:26:02.840 --> 01:26:06.560
that's one half of the economy, right, m h. There
1300
01:26:06.680 --> 01:26:09.079
is a whole other part of the economy where people
1301
01:26:09.119 --> 01:26:13.680
are doing great. They're the investor class. They're making money
1302
01:26:13.760 --> 01:26:17.439
hand over fist and the overvalued stock market where things
1303
01:26:17.560 --> 01:26:20.840
are just worth whatever people are willing to pay for them,
1304
01:26:21.159 --> 01:26:23.239
and those things keep going up and up and up
1305
01:26:23.279 --> 01:26:27.279
and up, and so we are now once again facing
1306
01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:30.920
what they call a K shaped economy. I'm not doing that, right,
1307
01:26:31.159 --> 01:26:34.720
here's a K. That's okay, So how you do it? Yeah?
1308
01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:36.079
You're making gang signs?
1309
01:26:36.159 --> 01:26:36.279
Now?
1310
01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:39.239
Yeah? Okay, Well, I'm just trying to spell letters. I'm
1311
01:26:39.239 --> 01:26:41.159
not really doing the gang thing. But so like these
1312
01:26:41.239 --> 01:26:45.199
guys here, they're they're going up. You see there, they're
1313
01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:47.439
things going up and these guys is all the regular
1314
01:26:47.520 --> 01:26:54.560
people it's going down. Okay, that's bad, that's economically disastrous.
1315
01:26:54.720 --> 01:26:59.760
Let me talk about got inflation report. Right, Inflation is
1316
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:04.079
up at three point eight percent. So in a normal circumstance,
1317
01:27:04.600 --> 01:27:07.720
if inflation is high, it's often a reflection of what
1318
01:27:07.840 --> 01:27:10.920
they would say is an overheated economy. The economy is
1319
01:27:10.960 --> 01:27:14.800
growing too fast and people are demanding more money, and
1320
01:27:14.960 --> 01:27:19.119
so wages are up. They're too up. People have too
1321
01:27:19.199 --> 01:27:23.119
much money essentially in their pockets, and so they're spending
1322
01:27:23.199 --> 01:27:26.760
it and it's driving prices up artificially, and so you
1323
01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:29.760
got to slow that down. And the way that the
1324
01:27:29.880 --> 01:27:32.399
Fed can do that is they can pull some of
1325
01:27:32.479 --> 01:27:37.239
that money out of the economy by making borrowing more expensive,
1326
01:27:37.319 --> 01:27:40.159
which is to say, they can raise rates. If they
1327
01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:45.119
raise rates, then banks have it's harder to loan money, right,
1328
01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:50.720
and companies invest a little bit less, and wages will
1329
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.159
slow down and so will prices, and that is normally
1330
01:27:55.319 --> 01:28:00.239
how you cool down inflation. But when you do that,
1331
01:28:00.399 --> 01:28:04.560
you also kind of cool down the economy, right, so
1332
01:28:04.720 --> 01:28:10.039
you slow down growth. What we're looking at now is
1333
01:28:10.119 --> 01:28:13.159
a case where growth is already slow. The revision and
1334
01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:17.159
the numbers show the GDP only grew by about one
1335
01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:20.079
percent in the first half of the year. One percent.
1336
01:28:20.439 --> 01:28:22.840
The target is two percent, So we're fifteen percent below
1337
01:28:22.880 --> 01:28:26.800
where we need to be. So the whole economy of
1338
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:31.720
the United States is growing slowly or not growing. But
1339
01:28:32.039 --> 01:28:35.399
also prices are rising. So if you were to raise
1340
01:28:35.479 --> 01:28:38.960
interest rates now there's nothing to slow down, that wouldn't
1341
01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:44.399
fix this problem. Okay, that doesn't slow down the rising
1342
01:28:44.640 --> 01:28:48.880
costs because it's not a case of the economy is
1343
01:28:48.960 --> 01:28:53.079
growing too fast. The economy, in fact, is barely growing.
1344
01:28:53.920 --> 01:28:58.800
It's that the cost of doing things is artificially high.
1345
01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:03.920
And we know why. It's because of trade barriers, Trump
1346
01:29:04.119 --> 01:29:09.199
stupid fucking tariffs on penguins and shits right, the war,
1347
01:29:10.199 --> 01:29:13.560
which is driving up energy costs, energy costs to reflect
1348
01:29:13.600 --> 01:29:17.159
through the entire rest of the economy. The war is
1349
01:29:17.159 --> 01:29:21.680
also driving up fertilizer costs, which is reflecting in the
1350
01:29:22.119 --> 01:29:27.640
price of food. And then there's also this massive problem
1351
01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:32.600
with housing. Housing is way too expensive all over the country.
1352
01:29:33.000 --> 01:29:36.079
There were five million housing units short or something like that.
1353
01:29:36.600 --> 01:29:41.159
It's a major problem. Or maybe fifty million, I don't know.
1354
01:29:41.199 --> 01:29:43.800
It's a lot. We're really short on a lot of housing.
1355
01:29:44.520 --> 01:29:47.960
And that's caused upward pressure on what people have to
1356
01:29:47.960 --> 01:29:49.600
spend because they got to make rent. You got to
1357
01:29:49.600 --> 01:29:52.279
pay rent, right, you got to pay your house a
1358
01:29:52.359 --> 01:29:56.159
house note or whatever you got, and that's that is
1359
01:29:56.319 --> 01:29:59.720
costing people more than fifty percent of their income. That's
1360
01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:02.159
leave them less and less money available for other things.
1361
01:30:02.239 --> 01:30:05.600
And that itself is causing a drag on the economy
1362
01:30:05.880 --> 01:30:08.560
because when they'll when they say consumer spending is up,
1363
01:30:08.640 --> 01:30:12.399
it's it's up on essentials. It's not up on investment
1364
01:30:12.520 --> 01:30:15.359
or frivolous things or fun stuff, which are things that
1365
01:30:15.439 --> 01:30:19.239
drive the economy. It's up because prices are up. So
1366
01:30:19.359 --> 01:30:28.800
why why is our minimum wage just seven? Why sucks?
1367
01:30:29.039 --> 01:30:33.960
And they don't care. But there again, you've got that problem.
1368
01:30:34.119 --> 01:30:36.520
You've got a lot of states, the majority of states
1369
01:30:36.600 --> 01:30:40.319
now have higher minimum wages than the federal standard. So
1370
01:30:41.640 --> 01:30:45.039
that's not nationally fixed, but it's in a lot of
1371
01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:50.319
places fixed. Isn't exactly the problem. Even if people had
1372
01:30:50.399 --> 01:30:53.399
more money in their pockets, it would fix this one
1373
01:30:53.520 --> 01:30:55.720
problem of not being able to make ends meet, but
1374
01:30:55.800 --> 01:30:58.520
it wouldn't fix the problem of the goods would still
1375
01:30:58.600 --> 01:31:02.640
continue to rise in price, so eventually that wage wouldn't
1376
01:31:02.680 --> 01:31:07.239
keep pace either. Because the costs, the things that are
1377
01:31:07.399 --> 01:31:15.079
driving the increase cost are not related to growth. They
1378
01:31:15.119 --> 01:31:21.920
are artificial things. Trump has created a more expensive environment
1379
01:31:22.039 --> 01:31:25.760
for people to operate in, and he has also created
1380
01:31:25.800 --> 01:31:31.079
in an environment where economic opportunity has decreased, where economic
1381
01:31:31.159 --> 01:31:38.880
growth has decreased, and where wages are stagnating. We haven't
1382
01:31:38.920 --> 01:31:43.000
seen this since the stagflation crisis in the seventies and eighties.
1383
01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:46.960
This is right in his wheelhouse because that's where his
1384
01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:50.800
world is frozen in that time period. So maybe that's
1385
01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:54.399
what he's doing here. I don't know. More than forty
1386
01:31:54.399 --> 01:31:57.159
percent of households were not able to afford what they
1387
01:31:57.279 --> 01:32:00.680
needed almost every year from twenty four team to twenty
1388
01:32:00.840 --> 01:32:03.760
twenty four, so that's been ongoing. I'm sure all of
1389
01:32:03.840 --> 01:32:07.279
us have felt that in some way or another, according
1390
01:32:07.279 --> 01:32:09.000
to the report, except for in twenty twenty one and
1391
01:32:09.079 --> 01:32:15.279
twenty two because people got stimulus checks during COVID. Otherwise,
1392
01:32:16.359 --> 01:32:24.960
prices continue to rise faster than wages, and it's bad yeah. Yeah,
1393
01:32:25.720 --> 01:32:30.720
it's not just uncomfortable, right when you have enough population,
1394
01:32:33.279 --> 01:32:40.039
When you have a population with without hope, that's a
1395
01:32:40.119 --> 01:32:47.960
recipe for political disaster, that's unstable, for social disaster, yeah, yeah, yeah,
1396
01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:51.359
for a breakdown of society. Right, Like, if you think
1397
01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:55.880
about where do extremist groups thrive, they thrive in places
1398
01:32:55.920 --> 01:32:59.279
where there's no hope, where there's no economic opportunity and
1399
01:32:59.319 --> 01:33:03.399
stuff like that. So we really don't want that here.
1400
01:33:04.520 --> 01:33:09.920
Yeah, I mean, I feel like, like you said, it's
1401
01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:12.279
all artificially created, you know what I mean.
1402
01:33:12.319 --> 01:33:16.439
This problem is didn't have to be you know what
1403
01:33:16.439 --> 01:33:21.119
I mean. This is a war that's obviously manufactured, and
1404
01:33:24.000 --> 01:33:26.319
you know we're all paying for it. We're all paying
1405
01:33:26.399 --> 01:33:29.600
for it, well, and we're paying for it in several
1406
01:33:29.640 --> 01:33:35.119
other ways. Take for example, the assault unhealth insurance. Right now,
1407
01:33:36.079 --> 01:33:37.880
you're gonna say, oh, I thought we already had this
1408
01:33:38.319 --> 01:33:44.079
conversation back in two thousand and eight when Obama was elected, right,
1409
01:33:44.159 --> 01:33:46.880
and then the run up to the Obamacare law signing
1410
01:33:46.920 --> 01:33:51.479
in twenty twelve, we all learned that the big problem
1411
01:33:51.640 --> 01:33:56.680
of having a chunk of America uninsured or underinsured is
1412
01:33:56.720 --> 01:34:00.520
that it makes medical care and insurance more expensive for
1413
01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:04.159
everybody that is insured, because those people still get sick
1414
01:34:04.199 --> 01:34:07.119
and they still need medical care, and that cost has
1415
01:34:07.199 --> 01:34:10.119
to get paid by somebody, and it gets paid by
1416
01:34:10.239 --> 01:34:14.880
all of us. If that, if those people have insurance,
1417
01:34:15.520 --> 01:34:22.000
then the rate of increase for everybody else slows down.
1418
01:34:22.399 --> 01:34:24.319
And you know how we know this because when we
1419
01:34:24.439 --> 01:34:29.239
gave everybody insurance, forty seven million people got coverage because
1420
01:34:29.279 --> 01:34:34.840
of Obamacare and Medicaid expansion, we saw that the rate
1421
01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:39.520
of increase of insurance premiums slowed down. So we have
1422
01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:42.399
real world data that chose that this works. Now, you
1423
01:34:42.479 --> 01:34:46.680
got the Trump administration unwinding those subsidies. The one big
1424
01:34:46.800 --> 01:34:51.840
beautiful Bill killed a bunch of that and are tossing millions,
1425
01:34:52.000 --> 01:34:55.399
millions and millions, something like twenty million people off of healthcare,
1426
01:34:56.439 --> 01:34:59.000
which means that all the rest of us who have
1427
01:34:59.239 --> 01:35:02.119
insurance are going to see that go up. So now
1428
01:35:02.199 --> 01:35:05.479
you've got already people can't afford one hundred dollars a
1429
01:35:05.560 --> 01:35:09.119
month more in expenses. Can you imagine what happens if
1430
01:35:09.159 --> 01:35:11.760
your insurance raises by three or four hundred dollars a month?
1431
01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:13.439
What are you going to do?
1432
01:35:14.560 --> 01:35:14.800
Wow?
1433
01:35:15.600 --> 01:35:18.800
Wow, You're going to drop insurance you're going to go without,
1434
01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:24.000
which could be financially catastrophic if something bad happens. But
1435
01:35:24.119 --> 01:35:26.680
then if you do that, then everybody else who kept
1436
01:35:26.720 --> 01:35:30.199
their insurance, now theirs goes up even higher because there's
1437
01:35:30.279 --> 01:35:32.439
fewer people insured, and that is what they call the
1438
01:35:32.520 --> 01:35:37.720
death spiral. So it is important, and we know because
1439
01:35:37.760 --> 01:35:41.479
we did it already that getting more people on insurance
1440
01:35:41.880 --> 01:35:47.520
slows down that potential failure. And now we're going backwards
1441
01:35:47.560 --> 01:35:49.760
on that, the same way we're going backwards on wages.
1442
01:35:49.760 --> 01:35:52.800
It's the same way we're going backwards on producer costs.
1443
01:35:53.079 --> 01:35:56.279
The input costs for farmers continue to rise, whether their
1444
01:35:56.359 --> 01:35:59.840
market ability to get something for their product continues to fall,
1445
01:36:00.439 --> 01:36:02.800
all because of terrorists. These are all things. None of
1446
01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:09.640
these are market forces. These are all manipulated manipulations. Yeah, yeah,
1447
01:36:11.119 --> 01:36:22.840
why is that happening to to? I mean, for no
1448
01:36:22.960 --> 01:36:25.840
other reason than to line the pockets man, to line
1449
01:36:25.880 --> 01:36:31.359
their own pockets, you know. Yeah, So, not to put
1450
01:36:31.399 --> 01:36:33.079
too fine a point on it, but what they're trying
1451
01:36:33.159 --> 01:36:36.199
to do is crash the economy so that the people
1452
01:36:36.279 --> 01:36:38.000
who will still have money at the end of that
1453
01:36:38.159 --> 01:36:40.600
crash can come in and buy up the pieces of
1454
01:36:40.680 --> 01:36:46.319
it for very little cost. And then they can take
1455
01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:50.199
off these artificial constraints and turn everything back on, except
1456
01:36:50.199 --> 01:36:51.840
they'll be the ones holding all the keys.
1457
01:36:52.359 --> 01:36:57.039
And then, and then, and expect everyone to be grateful
1458
01:36:57.119 --> 01:37:00.479
that they that they you know, make them look like
1459
01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:04.760
they they repaired something that they broke in the first place.
1460
01:37:04.960 --> 01:37:07.720
Well, and that they will own everything, so they will
1461
01:37:07.800 --> 01:37:11.880
have grabbed all of the means of production, consolidated that
1462
01:37:12.399 --> 01:37:16.199
into places where even fewer people stand to make all
1463
01:37:16.239 --> 01:37:20.239
the money once the economy is running again. That's what
1464
01:37:20.319 --> 01:37:24.359
they're doing, you know, elon and then they can afford it.
1465
01:37:24.479 --> 01:37:27.880
They can afford to crash the economy and wait it out,
1466
01:37:29.439 --> 01:37:31.640
you know, buy low, sell high right, drive the stock
1467
01:37:31.720 --> 01:37:33.880
market down to the lowest you could possibly get it,
1468
01:37:34.159 --> 01:37:36.800
buy up everything at that lo lo price, and then
1469
01:37:38.199 --> 01:37:40.600
turn the key and start the whole machine right back up.
1470
01:37:42.439 --> 01:37:46.439
Except now you're holding all the shares. Ain't that slick?
1471
01:37:49.560 --> 01:37:54.920
Must be here here first? All right? Uh, let's talk
1472
01:37:54.960 --> 01:38:02.880
about Brian's girlfriend, Lauren. Yeah, yeah, what is she? Right?
1473
01:38:03.960 --> 01:38:07.840
So I'm afraid to see what image Brian puts up. Okay, well,
1474
01:38:07.880 --> 01:38:13.960
that's a relatively respectful image of Lauren. Bobert. Okay, considering,
1475
01:38:15.359 --> 01:38:18.680
I mean, you know, she's got something going on there.
1476
01:38:18.720 --> 01:38:23.359
She's holding the flag. She's squinting in the sun, you know,
1477
01:38:25.000 --> 01:38:30.199
you know, holding up that Oh I was trying to
1478
01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:35.319
think I'd give him a good name. But well, she's
1479
01:38:35.359 --> 01:38:38.720
good at holding onto that that rod. Yeah. I like
1480
01:38:38.800 --> 01:38:41.199
that hand position she's got. She she looks like that's
1481
01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:44.840
well practiced. Maybe in the dark at a beetlejuice showing Yeah,
1482
01:38:47.079 --> 01:38:49.199
was that the hand, Brian? Which hand was heard? She
1483
01:38:49.439 --> 01:38:50.159
she's right handed?
1484
01:38:50.279 --> 01:38:50.399
Right?
1485
01:38:50.520 --> 01:38:50.680
Is that?
1486
01:38:50.920 --> 01:38:51.039
Uh?
1487
01:38:52.039 --> 01:38:56.680
Yeah? Susan the other seat though, Oh yeah, so she
1488
01:38:56.840 --> 01:39:03.359
was working lefty Yeah, southpaw left in Lucy. Yeah, it's
1489
01:39:03.399 --> 01:39:05.520
a little easier to make the pickoff move to first,
1490
01:39:05.680 --> 01:39:09.920
you know what I'm saying. All Right, So why are
1491
01:39:10.000 --> 01:39:11.920
we Why are we talking about.
1492
01:39:13.319 --> 01:39:13.920
Laurener?
1493
01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:16.439
Okay?
1494
01:39:16.680 --> 01:39:22.600
So I caught this last week and it was kind
1495
01:39:22.640 --> 01:39:26.000
of interesting because it features, well, it kind of features
1496
01:39:26.039 --> 01:39:29.600
when we talked, you know, when we had our baseball
1497
01:39:29.680 --> 01:39:35.439
guru on. Yeah, and it kind of felt weird. It's like,
1498
01:39:35.479 --> 01:39:41.159
where did this come from? So apparently, uh, Lauren was
1499
01:39:41.640 --> 01:39:45.920
in a weird way defending watching the National by the
1500
01:39:46.039 --> 01:39:52.000
name of Trevor Williams and he had an issue this image.
1501
01:39:52.079 --> 01:39:55.640
Brian, What Yeah, let me explain. Okay.
1502
01:39:57.399 --> 01:40:02.319
So apparently Trevor was spended due to the fact that
1503
01:40:02.479 --> 01:40:05.520
he was not a fan of the whole Pride thing
1504
01:40:06.279 --> 01:40:10.520
and things like that. So Lauren got wind of it
1505
01:40:11.399 --> 01:40:16.039
and felt like he was silenced. So she's putting out
1506
01:40:16.119 --> 01:40:21.560
you know, Trump's Trump's political Justice dogs on him, like
1507
01:40:21.720 --> 01:40:24.359
you know, Blanche and all them guys to go after
1508
01:40:24.439 --> 01:40:27.920
the Nationals because of it. Felt like they were sciencing
1509
01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:32.399
Trevor Williams of his religious beliefs. And I'm like, okay,
1510
01:40:32.600 --> 01:40:37.239
this this is ridiculous. But that's that's the key thing
1511
01:40:37.319 --> 01:40:40.960
why I brought back Lauren and her her craziness, because one,
1512
01:40:42.359 --> 01:40:43.920
this is not her team, so I don't know why
1513
01:40:44.000 --> 01:40:49.600
she's bending him. But again, she feels like his religious
1514
01:40:49.640 --> 01:40:53.800
beliefs are being silenced because what the Nationals are promoting,
1515
01:40:53.920 --> 01:40:56.199
Pride Month and all that stuff. And again, this is
1516
01:40:56.319 --> 01:40:57.039
Pride Month.
1517
01:40:57.159 --> 01:41:00.399
To be honest with you, Okay, So basically, and that's
1518
01:41:01.159 --> 01:41:03.119
I mean, every team is doing it right yet they
1519
01:41:03.159 --> 01:41:04.439
have Pride jerseys.
1520
01:41:04.680 --> 01:41:08.880
Now, surprise left, not every team is in majorly Baseball supporting.
1521
01:41:09.479 --> 01:41:14.680
I'm shocked the Braves aren't doing it or whatever. But okay,
1522
01:41:16.680 --> 01:41:19.479
they're a bad example because they're actually winning. Let's just
1523
01:41:19.600 --> 01:41:25.319
say the teams from cities that have electricity are obviously
1524
01:41:25.520 --> 01:41:33.159
celebrating Pride month. Uh, you know, like the Giants are
1525
01:41:33.279 --> 01:41:38.079
probably celebrating it the most. I think that's fair, right. Uh,
1526
01:41:38.560 --> 01:41:41.520
the A's can't anymore because they're not in Oakland. But
1527
01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:45.000
where they're going to be, Yeah, we don't know where
1528
01:41:45.039 --> 01:41:46.960
are they playing? Are they just playing on some ethereal?
1529
01:41:47.279 --> 01:41:52.399
They're right now, they're in Sacramento. But now, side note,
1530
01:41:52.600 --> 01:41:56.279
the there is a now a bit a major League
1531
01:41:56.319 --> 01:41:59.279
bid to get an expansion team there, which I don't
1532
01:41:59.279 --> 01:42:03.199
see it. But in Sacramento, in Sacramento, I feel like
1533
01:42:03.319 --> 01:42:07.079
the Kings have sparked their you know, helped their sparked
1534
01:42:07.079 --> 01:42:10.000
the interest of being a major League Baseball city, which
1535
01:42:10.119 --> 01:42:10.960
I don't give a shit.
1536
01:42:11.079 --> 01:42:16.720
But aren't they playing in some like common League park
1537
01:42:16.760 --> 01:42:17.279
at the moment?
1538
01:42:17.960 --> 01:42:18.159
Yeah?
1539
01:42:18.399 --> 01:42:23.319
Okay, so okay, so okay, So you're saying that they're
1540
01:42:23.359 --> 01:42:26.199
not in Oakland anymore and they's just representing the Bay
1541
01:42:26.720 --> 01:42:27.760
they are.
1542
01:42:27.920 --> 01:42:31.399
They're officially they are officially known as just the Athletics
1543
01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:34.880
because next year they're supposed to go to their new
1544
01:42:34.960 --> 01:42:38.640
stadium in Vegas, which is costing over almost two billion
1545
01:42:39.079 --> 01:42:43.520
dollars in counting, because it keeps adding up more bullshit
1546
01:42:43.840 --> 01:42:47.399
because the owner of the A's right now is an asshole. Yes,
1547
01:42:47.479 --> 01:42:49.760
I said that, because he did not want to sell
1548
01:42:49.840 --> 01:42:53.239
this team, and because there's been I've been following this
1549
01:42:53.680 --> 01:42:55.279
that story for a very long time.
1550
01:42:55.920 --> 01:42:59.119
In sand based down for like a decade. And yes,
1551
01:42:59.760 --> 01:43:03.960
it's been alternatively hilarious and tragic at the state.
1552
01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:07.439
Yes it's bad, it's a bad But the whole thing
1553
01:43:07.520 --> 01:43:11.960
here is is, since, like I said, we're in Pride
1554
01:43:12.000 --> 01:43:14.720
month and stuff like that, and it's interesting enough to
1555
01:43:14.840 --> 01:43:20.600
whar you know, quote unquote religion against those who are
1556
01:43:21.119 --> 01:43:25.359
you know, living in an alternative lifestyle with their sexual preference.
1557
01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:30.039
Is it's just getting redundant and mundane and stupid.
1558
01:43:30.199 --> 01:43:34.000
It's like, look, I get an issue that Trevor Williams
1559
01:43:34.079 --> 01:43:40.439
here is like religiously opposed to the Nats celebrating pride. Yeah,
1560
01:43:41.560 --> 01:43:46.600
and so then Bobert wants Harmeiat Dylon, who is the
1561
01:43:46.640 --> 01:43:50.880
head of the civil Rights division at DJ to investigate
1562
01:43:51.760 --> 01:43:58.960
if the Gnats are discriminating against Williams by celebrating pride.
1563
01:44:00.119 --> 01:44:04.119
Yeah, so so so basically they pulled another reverse it.
1564
01:44:05.439 --> 01:44:09.920
Right, Yeah, the figures like, hey, we we got a
1565
01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:13.119
card here. We want to you know, he's our managed
1566
01:44:13.159 --> 01:44:16.640
to be in discriminated. It's like, how Trevor.
1567
01:44:16.399 --> 01:44:19.119
Williams think that if they put a rainbow flag on
1568
01:44:19.239 --> 01:44:21.239
the stadium that it'll turn him gay.
1569
01:44:22.039 --> 01:44:25.199
I don't know, because he's been on so many different
1570
01:44:25.199 --> 01:44:29.640
teams with different colors. Why not he's own personal rainbow flag.
1571
01:44:29.880 --> 01:44:32.760
Also, I never heard of him until this, so he
1572
01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:33.680
can't be that good.
1573
01:44:34.239 --> 01:44:36.760
No, he's been on like five different teams.
1574
01:44:37.279 --> 01:44:40.319
And how did James O'Keefe get into this story? Just
1575
01:44:41.319 --> 01:44:46.720
that a bit yep. I guess he recorded somebody on
1576
01:44:47.000 --> 01:44:51.119
the team saying something mm.
1577
01:44:51.039 --> 01:44:55.920
Hmmm, saying the team does not include picture Trevor Williams
1578
01:44:55.960 --> 01:44:58.760
in certain social media promotions.
1579
01:44:59.119 --> 01:45:00.720
Yeah, a lot of the promo uh and stuff like
1580
01:45:00.760 --> 01:45:04.920
that because of you know, because of his beliefs against skating.
1581
01:45:06.319 --> 01:45:11.039
Has Bobert considered that they don't put Trevor Williams on
1582
01:45:11.119 --> 01:45:17.920
the front of their promotion stuff because he's not that good, Like,
1583
01:45:18.079 --> 01:45:20.199
you know, who's on the front of all the Nats stuff.
1584
01:45:20.840 --> 01:45:25.279
Would you know why? Because he's good. He's good at baseball,
1585
01:45:26.119 --> 01:45:30.880
he's he's on the All Star ballot, right, Who the
1586
01:45:31.000 --> 01:45:32.319
fuck is Trevor Williams?
1587
01:45:34.399 --> 01:45:34.600
Man?
1588
01:45:34.880 --> 01:45:35.560
That man? Yeah?
1589
01:45:35.640 --> 01:45:35.800
Man.
1590
01:45:35.840 --> 01:45:40.720
These people are pissed about everything except pedophiles and accountability.
1591
01:45:40.560 --> 01:45:46.680
Right, bad about that? Talk about Oh I'm being discriminated
1592
01:45:46.680 --> 01:45:49.079
against because I haven't seen the Epstein files. No, he's
1593
01:45:49.119 --> 01:45:53.920
not saying that. He says, oh that rainbow is about guy.
1594
01:45:54.159 --> 01:45:57.399
You just gotta not care. Just try not caring. This
1595
01:45:57.600 --> 01:46:01.800
is not harming you at all at all. That's funny.
1596
01:46:03.119 --> 01:46:05.760
This is the only thing where you can be apathetic
1597
01:46:05.880 --> 01:46:10.239
and be a hero. Take advantage. Let your apathy flow.
1598
01:46:10.680 --> 01:46:14.319
It doesn't fucking matter is that it's not a Star
1599
01:46:14.399 --> 01:46:19.119
Wars Star Wars. Let your apathy flow, right, use the apathy.
1600
01:46:23.079 --> 01:46:25.760
I can't. I can't raise my spaceship out of the
1601
01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:31.039
mound because I'm whining and crying. There is no dude,
1602
01:46:31.199 --> 01:46:36.359
only not care, There is no try Yeah right? What
1603
01:46:37.319 --> 01:46:38.000
just not care?
1604
01:46:38.119 --> 01:46:38.319
Guy?
1605
01:46:38.960 --> 01:46:42.800
All right? Speaking of people who are maybe gay, George Santos,
1606
01:46:43.199 --> 01:46:48.800
he's back in the news. Uh okay, I'm just gonna
1607
01:46:48.840 --> 01:46:52.239
read this because this is too hard to like describe otherwise.
1608
01:46:53.239 --> 01:46:58.000
Uh so, yeah, we're just gonna start with this like this.
1609
01:46:59.399 --> 01:47:03.760
In February, four months after being released from federal prison,
1610
01:47:03.880 --> 01:47:09.000
that's the beginning sentence here, former Republican Congressman George Santos,
1611
01:47:09.159 --> 01:47:12.720
which is not his real name, took to social media
1612
01:47:12.840 --> 01:47:19.079
to express his enthusiasm about attending Trump's upcoming State of
1613
01:47:19.119 --> 01:47:22.600
the Union address. So far, so good. He's like, Yeah,
1614
01:47:22.640 --> 01:47:24.359
I'm excited to go to the State of the Union.
1615
01:47:25.920 --> 01:47:28.640
I'm going to be there for the State of the Union.
1616
01:47:28.800 --> 01:47:33.239
In the gallery, guys, Santos said in a video. I
1617
01:47:33.359 --> 01:47:37.760
watched the video like that. He posted that on Twitter
1618
01:47:38.720 --> 01:47:41.880
a day before the State of the Union. You with
1619
01:47:42.039 --> 01:47:46.920
me so far? At the time, traders on the prediction
1620
01:47:47.159 --> 01:47:50.760
market calshi. See, we were alluding to this earlier. We're
1621
01:47:50.880 --> 01:47:54.560
placing millions of dollars worth of bets on who would
1622
01:47:54.640 --> 01:47:58.560
attend the State of the Union, which pause, isn't a
1623
01:47:58.640 --> 01:48:02.239
thing you should be allowed to on. That's stupid. Not
1624
01:48:02.439 --> 01:48:06.279
because it's like bad or illegal or whatever, it's stupid.
1625
01:48:06.720 --> 01:48:12.399
Don't do that. Santos's video confirming his president sent odds soaring,
1626
01:48:12.479 --> 01:48:16.279
So everybody was like, oh, I'm gonna bet that George
1627
01:48:16.399 --> 01:48:18.640
is gonna show up at the State of the Union.
1628
01:48:19.079 --> 01:48:21.600
And the reason I think that is because I saw
1629
01:48:21.720 --> 01:48:29.720
him say that tracking then he didn't show up. Oh
1630
01:48:29.880 --> 01:48:32.680
we had a scheduling conflict, or he got sick, or
1631
01:48:32.760 --> 01:48:36.680
maybe he wasn't he wasn't good, right, Okay, this is
1632
01:48:36.720 --> 01:48:40.159
what he posted on Twitter. Watching State of the Union
1633
01:48:40.479 --> 01:48:43.039
from an airport TV was not part of the plan.
1634
01:48:43.920 --> 01:48:50.680
Fml okay, okay. And he posted that message as Trump
1635
01:48:50.800 --> 01:48:54.880
was speaking, making those same odds in the Calshi market plummet.
1636
01:48:55.319 --> 01:48:59.119
So if you had bet he wasn't showing up, you
1637
01:48:59.239 --> 01:49:03.079
were about to make a bunch of money. What he
1638
01:49:03.279 --> 01:49:06.399
didn't say is that he had, in fact bet on
1639
01:49:07.079 --> 01:49:14.199
him not showing up on the same thing. Yes, no way.
1640
01:49:15.279 --> 01:49:18.000
According to three people with direct knowledge of his trades
1641
01:49:18.000 --> 01:49:20.720
who were not authorized to speak publicly, they say Santos
1642
01:49:20.840 --> 01:49:24.920
misled the public and turned a profit based on the
1643
01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:31.760
deception in the tens of thousands of dollars. Well played Now.
1644
01:49:31.920 --> 01:49:36.159
KLSHI detected his trades and froze his account, and referred
1645
01:49:36.199 --> 01:49:40.760
the case to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the
1646
01:49:40.960 --> 01:49:44.279
Department of Justice, both of which opened investigations in the Santos,
1647
01:49:44.319 --> 01:49:47.319
According to two people familiar with the investigation who are
1648
01:49:47.359 --> 01:49:52.560
not authorized to speak publicly. However, Santos has already been
1649
01:49:52.640 --> 01:50:02.119
pardoned by the president once, so you know. And PR
1650
01:50:02.319 --> 01:50:06.520
called him and was like, hey, you got a comment.
1651
01:50:06.720 --> 01:50:09.079
He goes, oh, that's news to me. I didn't know
1652
01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:13.239
that there was a probe underway, or he knew when
1653
01:50:13.239 --> 01:50:19.000
he's lying, because that's what he does. I'm not saying yes.
1654
01:50:19.439 --> 01:50:22.199
I'm not saying no. When NPR questioned whether he had
1655
01:50:22.239 --> 01:50:27.920
a Calci account, that's not the answer you need to
1656
01:50:28.000 --> 01:50:33.560
give guy. It's not good. He went on to say
1657
01:50:33.640 --> 01:50:38.119
that the co founder of Calci, Luana Lopez Lara, is
1658
01:50:38.199 --> 01:50:42.920
a quote fellow Brazilian whom he personally knows. Remember, one
1659
01:50:43.000 --> 01:50:45.439
of the backstories he told is that he's from Brazil.
1660
01:50:45.800 --> 01:50:47.600
We don't know if that's true, because we don't know
1661
01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:49.239
if any of the things that he says are true.
1662
01:50:50.560 --> 01:50:52.760
He said he would call her to get to the
1663
01:50:52.800 --> 01:50:59.319
bottom of whether an investigation had been launched. Okay, Santo's
1664
01:50:59.399 --> 01:51:01.960
promised to update NPR and how the call went, but
1665
01:51:02.159 --> 01:51:05.600
he did not respond to any follow up messages. I'm shocked.
1666
01:51:05.920 --> 01:51:09.680
This sounds well right The person familiar with cal Shei's
1667
01:51:09.720 --> 01:51:13.560
investigation said, Santos, the son of Brazilian immigrants, does not
1668
01:51:13.840 --> 01:51:19.760
know Laura, a Brazilian American, so he was lying again
1669
01:51:20.119 --> 01:51:24.000
lying yep. Cal Shei reached out to Santos to interview
1670
01:51:24.079 --> 01:51:26.119
him as part of the investigation, but he has dodged
1671
01:51:26.119 --> 01:51:29.239
those requests, according to the very same person. In a
1672
01:51:29.359 --> 01:51:33.079
post on Twitter on Thursday, Santos said quote, my legal
1673
01:51:33.199 --> 01:51:36.319
team is in contact with the DOJ to see what's
1674
01:51:36.399 --> 01:51:42.359
going on. Calling the insider trading accusation preposterous. So a
1675
01:51:42.520 --> 01:51:48.720
big word for that guy posteris preposterous. There was nothing
1676
01:51:48.800 --> 01:51:54.319
preposterous about a well dressed rhinoceros, as we all learned
1677
01:51:54.359 --> 01:51:57.680
from PBS. Uh yeah, and so then like we know
1678
01:51:57.800 --> 01:51:59.960
that Santos is a big liar. He said he play
1679
01:52:00.239 --> 01:52:04.399
volleyball at some college he didn't attend. He claimed that
1680
01:52:04.520 --> 01:52:07.279
he was Jewish and the son of Holocaust survivors, which
1681
01:52:07.359 --> 01:52:10.239
wasn't true. He stole a bunch of money from a
1682
01:52:10.319 --> 01:52:14.680
bunch of people. He said that he was working at
1683
01:52:14.720 --> 01:52:16.960
the South Tower of the Trade Center when when the
1684
01:52:17.000 --> 01:52:22.079
September eleventh attacks happened, that that was not true. Let's
1685
01:52:22.079 --> 01:52:23.880
see what else did he say? He said a lot
1686
01:52:23.880 --> 01:52:27.199
of stuff that's not true. I mean not not any
1687
01:52:27.239 --> 01:52:32.800
of it's true. So is he going to jail. No,
1688
01:52:33.079 --> 01:52:36.239
he's gonna get pardoned, or they're just going to bury
1689
01:52:36.279 --> 01:52:38.960
it or what I mean.
1690
01:52:40.079 --> 01:52:44.760
Inside of trading is becoming increasingly. It's very popular right
1691
01:52:44.800 --> 01:52:48.399
about now. Yeah, it's very popular, especially Congress. Yeah yeah, yeah,
1692
01:52:49.600 --> 01:52:51.760
like lemonade was a popular drink and it still is.
1693
01:52:52.319 --> 01:52:57.399
So I want to say, I want to say, I
1694
01:52:57.479 --> 01:53:00.680
don't think he's going to get slept on a wrist.
1695
01:53:02.800 --> 01:53:08.600
I hear he's into that, so we'll see how that goes. Well,
1696
01:53:08.640 --> 01:53:12.119
all right, you've wasted another perfectly good two hours listening
1697
01:53:12.159 --> 01:53:16.359
to us talk about stuff. So even though I haven't
1698
01:53:16.359 --> 01:53:18.840
written the outro, we've come to the end of the show. Hooray,
1699
01:53:20.039 --> 01:53:24.439
we're early, Brian, You're going to be so excited. He's
1700
01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:25.000
so excited.
1701
01:53:25.479 --> 01:53:27.199
Unfortunate Test will miss out on that.
1702
01:53:27.520 --> 01:53:31.439
I know Test is never going to believe it. Well,
1703
01:53:31.760 --> 01:53:35.720
we'll help his captors play him this episode tomorrow when
1704
01:53:35.800 --> 01:53:40.239
we posted as a podcast, then he can tell everybody.
1705
01:53:44.319 --> 01:53:46.680
All right. So now we've come to the end of
1706
01:53:46.720 --> 01:53:48.319
the show, which means we want to say Thank you
1707

to the twenty eighteen years or something, I'm a little
1717
01:54:24.680 --> 01:54:26.520
considered what they're going to plan plan to do with it,
1718
01:54:26.680 --> 01:54:32.199
but I believe they're building a chipchatpot. And that's what
