The botany of desire is a book about the history of the apple and the booze industry in America, and how it all started with an apple and a plan to turn it into a liquor company. The Botany of Desire by Michael Poland is a great book, but it's also about who's zooming who when it comes to these fucking plants.

00:01:11.000This book is about who's zooming who when it comes to these fucking plants.
00:01:18.000Remember I told you about that great quote about Mugabe's glasses where they say it's not clear if he's wearing the glasses or if the glasses are wearing him.
00:01:25.000In the botany of desire, they go, it's not clear if we made apple trees or if they made us.
00:01:32.000So let me briefly explain the rationale.
00:01:36.000He talks about how apples noticed that when they're sweet, humans like them more.
00:01:43.000So they started producing more sugar to get planted more.
00:01:47.000So in a way, we're kind of their bitches, constantly planting more and more sugary versions of themselves all over the place.
00:01:55.000He also talks about Johnny Appleseed in that book where he says, Johnny Appleseed wasn't out there to supply apples to people.
00:02:06.000That's something that is also prevalent in this book, Beer in America.
00:02:13.000You got to understand how much booze we used to drink there.
00:02:16.000Getting clean water was virtually impossible.
00:02:18.000So what Johnny Appleseed would do is he'd see where the settlements were being built, and he would go ahead, let's say, five years, maybe six, seven years, of these settlements so that when they got to him,
00:02:47.000But people used them to make apple cider to get wasted to survive this disgusting life that was the turn of the century in America.
00:02:56.000So he was just a, he was really a booze entrepreneur is what he was.
00:03:02.000And then Beer in America, another, this book isn't the best written book, but what I find fascinating about this book is, and I've mentioned it many times before, it is the history of America.
00:03:11.000The history of America was British pub culture, working class pub culture, and they would go to taverns and drink beer, and that became sort of the town hall.
00:03:20.000That's where you discuss politics, and it was more culturally influential than church.
00:05:55.000Watch what you do here, or it's going to go down your leg.
00:05:58.000Easy, easy, clench your butt cheeks because there's more to come.
00:06:04.000If you know the name Mordecai, it's named after people who have shit their pants a bit and have more to come.
00:06:10.000Speaking of COVID, by the way, I'm jumping ahead here.
00:06:14.000There was this CEO at Whole Foods, this is 2-0, who said, yeah, we have had a lot of deaths here, a disproportionate number of deaths, because we're fat.
00:06:50.00024 hours after the hysteria, because all the women who work your company's social media come in to the office screaming hysterically and say, there's a shit storm out there.
00:06:59.000This is a good thing for him to say, A, because it's true, but truth isn't that important in modern America.
00:07:05.000That's a great thing for him to say because it's true.
00:11:17.000And it's crazy because this was back in slavery days.
00:11:19.000People would be fucking me every day trying to make a LeBron James coming out of my cunt and a fucking Michael Jordan coming out of my cunt.
00:11:26.000And I'd just be making these big fucking giant niggas every day coming out of my big fat pussy.
00:17:27.000We're not going to go over all of it, but look at these assholes who found out that Breonna Taylor committed suicide by cop, a dumb slut who was the secretary for drug dealers who are responsible for an industry, fentanyl dealing, that kills between 80 and 130 people.
00:25:20.000It's a good song, though, and that was what, probably 1986, 87.
00:25:24.000And there he is predicting the same mentality.
00:25:27.000Playing right into their hands, he says.
00:25:29.000It sounds like in that version, he was trying to de-right wing it because he realized that he was criticizing rioters, which isn't hot in the punk community, as we've learned.
00:25:41.000But let's just drop the whole subject of this fake EMT drug whore, kind of.
00:25:51.000I mean, that's all they used her for, was carrying money around, carrying dead bodies around.
00:25:58.000She definitely was not innocent, But I don't think she was the scarface of the group.
00:26:02.000I think she was just like a peon, and they treated her like absolute garbage.
00:26:05.000And I think she liked it because she stuck around for years and years with these assholes.
00:26:10.000But anyway, there's so many myths going around about Brianna.
00:26:14.000And let's just show you how ridiculous these rioters are by going through the top rioting in the street, cops shot,
00:26:30.000people freaking out, girls crying because Brianna Taylor, an EMT who works hard all day saving lives, comes home, plays Uno with her boyfriend, kisses them on the lips.
00:27:54.000If you have a knock warrant and you go, knock, knock, knock, hi, I'm here to catch you dealing fentanyl.
00:28:01.000I think it's the most dangerous drug in the history of drugs, much more dangerous than heroin, which used to be the worst imaginable thing for a parent.
00:29:20.000Attorney General Daniel Cameron, that was him there, said a neighbor corroborated cop's claim that they knocked on Taylor's apartment door and announced themselves as police in the early hours of March 13th.
00:29:36.000What's that last link, the drug abuse gov thing?
00:29:47.000So, no, you don't deserve to die because you're in your hallway.
00:29:53.000But the story of her just lying there asleep is a lie.
00:29:55.000Her boyfriend knew what time it was and decided this is going down.
00:29:59.000And the thing that no one's talking about is when you were dealing fentanyl, and that's just one of the drugs she was dealing at the time, and Coke and all kinds of other stuff.
00:30:57.000The law says yelling at a cop, whatever, misdemeanor, you get a fine, probably nothing, right?
00:31:03.000But when we talk about them telling a cop to fuck off and waving a gun around, we're saying their behavior seems indicative of the not innocent types.
00:31:11.000So they probably brought this upon themselves.
00:31:29.000She barely ever came in because she was busy pursuing killing people with drugs rather than saving people.
00:31:37.000And in this article, Leo Weekly, they're getting mad.
00:31:42.000It's at WAVE, which I think is a local news thing in Louisville, for daring to discuss how incompetent she was as an EMT and how she called in and said, yeah, I'm not coming in again today.
00:31:53.000And they said, you know what, you're fired.
00:31:55.000And then they check, well, here, I'll just read you what it says.
00:31:57.000It says, Taylor called to quit her job as an EMT after serving that capacity for five months.
00:32:02.000And her termination form included a do not rehire box that was checked.
00:32:08.000So do you do, do you deserve to die because you suck as an EMT?
00:32:23.000And then when you bring up the truth, they always say this, same with Floyd, same with everyone.
00:32:27.000Oh, so they deserve to die because of that?
00:32:29.000No, but I'm just pointing out that your little fairy tale story of the loving EMT who worked all day to save people is an absolute fucking lie.
00:32:39.000She was a shitty MT for a few months, blew that job because she's a drug dealer.
00:33:56.000This idea, and so when you make the card, make it say that.
00:34:01.000Actually, it'd be funnier if you show the stupid card so everyone knows how horrible of a person you are, and then you update it with this card.
00:34:10.000This is the local news that they were giving shit for.
00:34:12.000Warrants issued for arrest Breonna Taylor's ex-boyfriend amid new leaked documents, leaked new documents.
00:34:18.000Back in 2016, the body of Fernandez Bowman was found in a car rented by Breonna Taylor when LMPD detectives arrived at Taylor's home to question her.
00:34:28.000Taylor told the detectives she did not know Bowman, that she had been dating Glover for several months, and that she had let him drive the rental car.
00:34:36.000Now, oh, so someone, it wasn't her, they're so determined for her to be innocent.
00:36:59.000Even the cop who got busted for shooting into the apartment, they are responsible for that cop putting that neighbor in danger because they had a drug dealership, which puts all your neighbors in danger.
00:38:11.000I think she might have some self-hatred, and she kind of appreciated the abuse.
00:38:15.000Because judging by this Tatum report summary of the court transcripts or the case study, study of the case, sorry, you're going through the dialogue and you realize they would pass her back and forth,
00:38:35.000They would use her to rent cars where they could put their dead bodies in.
00:38:38.000They would use her to carry money around because I guess she was sort of like a sex slave.
00:38:43.000She was definitely so submissive that drug dealers could trust her with 15 grand, 8 grand, 10 grand.
00:38:48.000These transcripts are full, and these are mostly jailhouse calls, are full of them talking about, yo, Bray had my 15 grand, then she dropped it out, and then she, I have my 10 grand.
00:38:57.000And when you're going through these, it's amazing the Way they talk about her.
00:39:42.000So even this guy, Kay Bradley, was saying to her quote-unquote boyfriend that she was getting in over her head because those no limit motherfuckers, they down for whatever.
00:40:24.000I haven't fucked her in a little while.
00:40:25.000That's not exactly a harlequin romance.
00:40:28.000That's not exactly a Valentine's Day card, is it?
00:40:30.000You've made a totally fictional world where this hardworking EMT and her loving boyfriend, and Atheism is Unstoppable, does a great job of debunking the NYT podcast, New York Times podcast, where they're like, she had had a hard day.
00:40:44.000There's always little indicators too that something's up.
00:40:46.000Like, they came home and decided to play a game of UNO.
00:40:50.000No one comes home and plays a game of UNO.
00:41:23.000If we look here, figure two, the national drug overdose deaths by specific category, all ages, this is 99 to 2018.
00:41:32.000Overall drug overdose deaths declined from 27 to 18 with 67,000 reported in 2018.
00:41:39.000Deaths involving other synthetic narcotics other than methadone, including fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, continued to rise with more than 31,000 reported in 2018.
00:41:53.000Those involving cocaine or psychostimulants with abuse also continued to trend upward.
00:42:20.000Which, by the way, two of that 10 were charging, weren't charging at cops.
00:42:25.000So cops killing two black people a year or these black drug dealers killing 80 people a day?
00:42:33.000This is why they don't like teaching math in school because the numbers are rarely convenient for their bullshit socialist agenda.
00:42:40.000Look, no one thinks that Breonna Taylor deserved to die for being around someone, but that's going to happen.
00:42:49.000You play with poisonous snakes, you're going to get bit.
00:42:52.000We're having a parade, a fucking riotous, vandalist, vandalist?
00:42:58.000We're vandalizing, having a riotous parade, killing cops, trying to kill cops, because a chick who was playing Russian roulette got shot in the head.
00:43:06.000What the fuck did you think was going to happen?
00:44:11.000See, when you run for president, it's all gonna come up.
00:44:14.000As we learned with Brett Kavanaugh, who was only running for Supreme Court judge, we had to hear about some ridiculous time where he was making out or was going to make out with some chick on bed and he may have jumped on the bed nude while she was there.
00:44:52.000So I think this is much more complicated than just Hunter Biden was a scumbag who was on all these incredibly wealthy boards where he's making millions of dollars as a consultant for a mining company.
00:45:07.000He was also using the money to run prostitutes to various clients.
00:45:12.000In other words, running a sex trafficking operation.
00:45:15.000But I think it gets even worse than that.
00:45:18.000I think Joe was complicit and he said, basically, look, I can't be taking these bribes and bringing these whores from A to B and doing all this.
00:45:24.000So you're going to have to do it and just slip me a cut somehow.
00:49:41.000What guardrails would you have to be sure that your son, your brother Jimmy, doesn't do anything to trade on the family name?
00:49:49.000They will not be engaged in any foreign business because of what's happened in this administration.
00:49:54.000No one's going to be seeking patents for things from China.
00:49:58.000No one's going to be engaged in that kind of thing.
00:50:00.000So no foreign business for your relatives in office.
00:50:05.000You know what's amazing about Joe Biden is his arrogance.
00:50:08.000He's so sure that he can handle it that he just wings it.
00:50:12.000And when someone with a low IQ who's suffering from dementia and is totally incompetent just wings it, we end up with the ridiculous quotes we were talking about two shows ago.
00:50:23.000So we've committed to making these t-shirts.
00:50:25.000I just sent this to our t-shirt guy, but we are going to make these shirts.
00:50:29.000And the way I make shirts is I think, what would I like to wear?
00:50:32.000And I sent this to you as a separate email.
00:50:37.000Well, first show the, I guess just open it all up.
00:50:40.000I had to make it look, you know how when you show a shirt, it gets kind of crinkled?
00:50:44.000So they don't look that good because my Photoshop skills are rusty.
00:50:49.000But first, let's just show them as they are before we show you how hot they could look.
00:51:59.000And then, of course, you Can't make Teach Biden shirts without having we hold these truths to be self-evident.
00:52:05.000Men and women created by you know, you know the thing.
00:52:09.000I would advise you, though, when you wear these shirts to make sure you Google what the exact quote is: you know, pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible under God.
00:52:26.000Because people, you're going to look pretty stupid if you don't.
00:52:28.000Maybe write it down on the back of a business card and just get it.
00:52:31.000So I modeled these shirts in Photoshop just to give you a vibe.
00:52:36.000But I'm sure our shirt guy can do a better job.
01:01:10.000So just remember, the further away I get.
01:01:13.000But like, speaking of not letting your wife be nude in a photo shoot, why would you let your wife go away for four years?
01:01:24.000I mean, the fact that John Kinsman is without his beautiful children for four years is a catastrophe that we do charity for, and we're devastated by the whole thing.
01:02:27.000I know it's weird hearing me talk about problems with the military when I've seen so many war movies and people say thank you for your service when they see me because I'm basically a vet.
01:08:29.000I've been getting ready for bed and brushing my teeth and just thinking about going to war and I would start screaming from being so scared.
01:10:06.000And you could see comedy losing its balls right then.
01:10:10.000The funniest part, which was not anti-soldier, most, I'm sure 100% of the vets who watched this show, including me, would have seen the person with no arm and then that be a screaming guy as a lampooning of weak people and stolen valor and others who haven't really served.
01:10:29.000That's what when you make fun of someone like that, you're clearly, it's an homage to real brave men who fought in real wars.
01:10:36.000But it's still offensive to see a limb.
01:12:11.000You're sitting there watching it going, this is fascinating.
01:12:14.000Wow, I had no idea Churchill was such a dickwad.
01:12:17.000And then at the end, they go, and of course, in the age of Trump, and then they have 1980s footage of skinhead Zeke Heiling, and it always comes back to Trump.
01:14:29.000They're going to make legal gatherings without music wholly or predominantly characterized by the omission of a succession of repetitive beats.
01:14:44.000They had a criminal justice bill in the early aughts in the UK that outlawed dancing to electronic music, successive beats, because there was a bunch of illegal raves going on.
01:14:57.000What's the matter with illegal raves, by the way?
01:14:59.000There was like one MDMA overdose in all of the Western world.
01:15:04.000Maybe it's because kids were having fun and partying and no one was getting any tax money out of it.
01:15:10.000It was a totally independent club scene that happened in a random farmer's field.
01:15:19.000We had a similar crazy thing at the exact same time here in New York.
01:15:23.000They had the cabaret law, where Juliani dusted off a law, the cabaret law from honestly 1842 that said two people can't dance at an establishment that is not sanctioned for dancing.
01:15:45.000So they would have court, so what Giuliani was trying to do is find out where the dance clubs are and isolate them so he could crack down on drugs.
01:15:52.000I mean, he made New York a much better place, but he kind of overdid it with this stupid law.
01:15:57.000And so you'd be at a pub or like our bar, Max Fish.
01:16:00.000And if two people decided to start dancing, they would have to show up in court.
01:16:05.000And the place would get a fine, eventually lose their license.
01:17:59.000So the trailer's all about middle class versus working class, but that doesn't really show up in the movie.
01:18:06.000And I don't want to ruin it for you, but that kid that you just saw, the middle class kid, he has this deer in the headlights thing in every scene where you're just sort of like, okay, dude, can you just fucking accept that your friends are partying?
01:18:17.000But I love these kind of youth movies where kids are being rebellious and getting fired and getting into trouble and being brave and never not fighting.
01:20:03.000And it look again, it seems ridiculous 20 years later that it was this brave, empowering thing for fucking 19 and 20-year-olds to go out dancing.
01:20:51.000And then at the end of the song, he goes, Out of respect for Johnny Walker, Paul Oakenfold, Nick Holloway, Danny Rampling, and all the people who gave us these times.
01:20:59.000And to the government, I stick my middle finger up.
01:21:21.000And then this was alluded to at the Colle-Ins last night, Knots and Crosses, where they imagine a crazy world where blacks are in charge and whites are second-class citizens.
01:21:39.000The irony is, this is South Africa today, but it's not Wakanda.
01:21:44.000It's a shithole because they kicked out all the competent people.
01:21:51.000They have no food because they killed all the farmers.
01:21:54.000But there are concentration camps in South Africa where whites are in these little fucking razor wire areas where they're starving to death because they can't get jobs.
01:22:05.000So this crazy hypothetical is real, minus the black wealth.
01:24:41.000And so it's not just in comedy, it's in the plots for movies.
01:24:45.000And I think this has been going on for a long time.
01:24:48.000Political correctness has knocked down all the other targets.
01:24:52.000You know, these little things you hit at the county fair, and now you just see a kid there.
01:24:56.000So now the county fair is saying, hit a kid, throw it at a kid.
01:25:00.000And that's evident not just in a way where they poo-poo a mother's maternal instincts, but in this movie where I thought it was dubbed, but hold on to your hat.
01:25:09.000And if you have kids around, I would get them out of the room now because you're about to puke.
01:26:44.000Okay, that's it for the movie roundup.
01:26:46.000I also saw Magnificent Seven, the new one, which is amazing.
01:26:50.000And I can't remember if I've talked to you about this before, have I?
01:26:53.000It's a cool movie from 1960 with Yo Brenner, and it's about these Wild West bandits.
01:26:57.000It's actually a remake of Seven Samurais, where these Japanese samurais go and save this small town that was getting destroyed by these evil fucking bandits.
01:27:06.000So the Wild West version, 1960, Yo Brenner, a bunch of white dudes like the Wild West was, go in and save the town from the bad guys.
01:32:03.000I'm a big fan of the show, but I absolutely detest misinformation.
01:32:06.000This is largely why I bent to the left.
01:32:07.000They are too intellectually dishonest to bear.
01:32:09.000It's also why I'm disappointed to report that clip of Biden using a teleprompter and then being surprised by the interviewer is unfortunately a misrepresentation of what happened.
01:32:18.000He was actually responding to a TV that was showing a pre-recorded video of a Hispanic woman asking an immigration question.
01:32:32.000Actually, when we announced that we were going to be speaking with you, Telemundo viewers were interested in asking you questions, and I think it'd be great if they could address you and ask some of the first questions, and you're the first one.
01:36:47.000During Tuesday's show, you mentioned something about China sending chemical warfare weather balloons over as a metaphor for the China virus.
01:36:53.000It was actually a metaphor for fentanyl, which made me think of the Japanese Fugo balloon attack on the U.S. from 44 to 45.
01:37:01.000I don't know if you knew about this already.
01:37:06.000And he was talking about the incredible ways we have used chemical warfare on our own people, and especially Asians have used it on their own people as experiments and attacks.
01:37:16.000Since most Americans don't even know, since it is never taught in school, the Japanese sent over 9,300 hydrogen balloons, all armed with firebombs, across the Pacific Ocean to hit the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
01:37:28.000The balloons were almost successful, killing only six Americans, despite over 300 balloons found all over North America.
01:37:37.000Each time a balloon was found during the war, the government would come in, clean up the scene, and force everyone who knew about it to keep quiet.
01:37:43.000The government did an excellent job covering it up since the Japanese thought the attack was a total failure.
01:37:48.000Just thought you might want to look into this.
01:37:53.000It was a total failure if you only killed six people.
01:39:17.000Proof of this gets better when Captain of the Fag Zone shuts a bunch of things down.
01:39:22.000In other words, you're asking hardware and software to convert analog things like your mic signals and phone calls into the digital domain, and this takes processing time.
01:39:30.000You should take a look at doing your mixing in the analog domain before it's converted to digital.
