Fleccas Talks Podcast - AN URBAN DECAY RENAISSANCE PAINTING

00:00:00.000 All right, welcome back to Flugga Socks, the podcast episode 341 today on the show.

00:00:07.420 CPAC was this past weekend and it was a rhino flop.

00:00:10.520 We're going to go over all the highlights there.

00:00:12.460 Then where did all the teenagers jobs go?

00:00:15.280 We're going to tell you where in the migrant section.

00:00:17.620 Then in cringe of the week, we have some bad improv that makes me want to explode.

00:00:22.080 And last but not least, in urban decay, we have some bad customer service at KFC that

00:00:27.240 almost ends in an urban headline.

00:00:29.240 All this and more is Fleckus Talks the Podcast, episode 341, ranked the best news podcast of all time.

00:00:40.760 Because words are just words until action actually starts.

00:00:44.380 And actions speak louder than words, but at the same time, words speak louder than actions because sometimes it's the right thing to do.

00:00:51.860 Very cool. Very cool.

00:00:54.580 Fleckus Talks the Podcast, featuring Richard Graham.

00:00:59.240 All right. One for one on the intro, as always. Guys, I don't know about you,

00:01:08.120 but during the break, my diet and health routine kind of went off the rails.

00:01:12.680 Candy, cake, Chinese, late night ordering pizza, stuff like that. Desserts, lots of desserts.

00:01:18.080 It got pretty bad pretty fast. But now that we're in the new year, it's time to reset and get back

00:01:24.220 on track. Let's undo all that. And for a New Year's resolution, let's actually give our bodies

00:01:28.860 what it needs and for me this fresh start starts with cove pure here's the thing everyone starts

00:01:34.460 the new year with new diet routines workouts supplements all these things but they ignore

00:01:39.820 the most basic thing that is the most important the water we're drinking even mild dehydration

00:01:45.420 impacts energy focus and metabolism and when you think about all the garbage that's in our water

00:01:49.900 you're starting behind the curve before you even begin cove pure changes that immediately

00:01:54.540 Their Clearwave technology is certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants,

00:02:00.300 pretty much anything that isn't water. PFAs, microplastics, pharmaceutical residue,

00:02:05.420 fluoride, it all gets removed with CovePure. It's the purest water you can get. And what I

00:02:10.540 like most about CovePure is it makes water taste good. It's clean, it's crisp, it's refreshing,

00:02:16.220 and I've actually been drinking more water lately and I've been cutting back on my diet sodas.

00:02:20.540 Another plus is it sits right on your countertop. You don't need to install special hoses or drill

00:02:25.440 holes or call a plumber. You just plug it in and you're good to go. Fresh water is on the way.

00:02:31.160 Cove Pure makes it easy to get pure water with just the push of a button. So this year,

00:02:35.520 let's make a New Year's resolution that actually sticks. Let's improve our health by improving our

00:03:01.860 Thank you to Cove Pure for sponsoring.

00:03:03.540 Let's get into housekeeping.

00:03:08.280 All right.

00:03:08.960 Thank you to Cove Pure for sponsoring.

00:03:10.480 Thank you, Cove Pure.

00:03:11.560 Feels good to be back in the chair, everybody.

00:03:14.380 Yes, it does.

00:03:15.160 It's Tuesday.

00:03:16.520 And it was an eventful weekend with both Republican events and leftist events across most cities in America.

00:03:22.640 So we got some updates.

00:03:24.640 And Iran, I keep hearing ground invasion.

00:03:26.840 I keep hearing ground invasion of Iran. 1.00

00:03:28.620 It makes me want to pull my fucking hair out. 0.99

00:03:30.880 Then I see the poll numbers. 0.99

00:03:32.620 And then the ground invasion of Iran is, like, so frustrating.

00:03:36.080 And you think, like, oh, maybe it's not everybody.

00:03:38.280 Maybe it's just part of the party.

00:03:40.080 And then Trump tweets, everyone watch Mark Levin tonight.

00:03:43.440 And then Mark Levin talks about the ground invasion.

00:03:45.500 Yeah.

00:03:45.760 So we're in trouble.

00:03:48.280 I'm trying to be uplifting and positive here.

00:03:50.840 But it's sand through my fingers, slipping through my fingers.

00:03:53.720 Slipping through my fingers.

00:03:55.000 The entire term.

00:03:56.420 So we'll get to it.

00:03:57.580 Let's not derail the whole thing.

00:03:59.740 Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

00:04:01.080 We're going to start with the No Kings protest from over the weekend.

00:04:04.400 There's a couple of funny clips I wanted to show you guys.

00:04:06.280 We'll start with this one here.

00:04:07.540 It seems like there's a lack of diversity here today,

00:04:09.700 that it's mostly people who look like you and I. 0.83

00:04:11.340 This is not for black people, for people of color to get out on the street. 1.00

00:04:19.020 They're at risk when they do that. 1.00

00:04:20.780 If anybody's going to get arrested here, it's going to be a black person. 1.00

00:04:24.980 It is not safe for them, and they don't need to participate. 0.99

00:04:28.640 We need to walk in their name.

00:04:30.980 Based.

00:04:31.600 Yeah, I agree with her. 0.99

00:04:32.700 If a black person was here, he'd probably end up arrested. 1.00

00:04:35.420 Yeah, they'll probably start stealing and fighting and smashing stuff. 0.99

00:04:39.100 They do not do well in big groups.

00:04:40.760 Yeah, so-

00:04:41.940 She's absolutely right.

00:04:42.920 Based grandma, I guess. 0.79

00:04:45.160 And I mean, this is a theme that we've seen

00:04:47.380 is the elderly at these No Kings protests,

00:04:49.680 the gray hair, older white people.

00:04:52.360 And that's not to say that's all it is,

00:04:54.620 but that's a common theme

00:04:55.620 with this billionaire funded No Kings thing

00:04:58.320 that's been going on for basically the entire term, right?

00:05:01.040 It's like these boomers who feel obligated 1.00

00:05:03.600 to do the right thing.

00:05:05.100 And then the right thing is just like,

00:05:06.840 finish off America like they started. 0.96

00:05:09.240 And now they're trying to just like,

00:05:10.440 all right, we started this. Let's finish it off. Yeah. It's pretty frustrating. Uh, there was some

00:05:14.700 ironic situations too at the protest. It was no Kings and someone had a set, a 1789 France

00:05:21.900 reference. Yeah. They want 1939 Germany. Let's give them 1789 France. And that was a monarchy.

00:05:29.460 So I don't know what they're thinking of. Um, and then another thing I saw was in Hawaii,

00:05:35.640 they call it the no dictators protest. Cause apparently there's some Hawaiian King. They 0.50

00:05:39.700 have to like add reverence to they like him yeah they like him but just not trump and just not

00:05:45.700 right now so yeah i was thinking we could probably align with these protesters if we said something

00:05:51.280 like we're not happy that trump's doing israel's bidding and they would probably agree yeah yeah

00:05:56.480 but we don't need to align with them on anything that's standard yes i don't want to be well they

00:06:01.180 should be out of the country and then they should be agreeing from afar they should be yeah totally

00:06:06.420 Can I come in?

00:06:07.240 And we go, no, you can't.

00:06:09.020 You still can't.

00:06:09.740 But I'm glad we found some common ground.

00:06:12.340 The wall is 30 feet high.

00:06:14.380 Exactly.

00:06:15.000 And you're an old boomer.

00:06:16.120 You can't climb it. 0.99

00:06:18.080 There was the wheelchair pig. 1.00

00:06:19.540 I'm sure you guys saw that person going viral.

00:06:22.340 We have a clip of them here.

00:06:23.560 Yeah, we'll just play it in the background.

00:06:25.040 She dog walks people.

00:06:26.300 She wears some sort of grill.

00:06:27.880 She's morbidly obese and immobile and went very viral.

00:06:31.440 So, yeah, that's part of the brand.

00:06:33.100 And I was thinking-

00:06:34.280 That's the young side of the No Kings protest, 1.00

00:06:36.880 the fat, morbid, obese, disabled types. 1.00

00:06:39.900 Yeah, that's who shows up. 0.99

00:06:41.520 And I was thinking in the same way

00:06:43.300 Richard named Gorlock the Destroyer,

00:06:45.420 we could almost come up with the name for this thing.

00:06:48.060 But the only thing I came up with was Blort,

00:06:50.800 which is accurate, but it's just not that good.

00:06:53.620 Yeah, no, I see what you're up to.

00:06:55.120 I see what you're up to.

00:06:56.220 And then me, I can't, I got one name and I'm done.

00:06:58.960 I can't keep coming back.

00:07:00.140 It'll be something, the something.

00:07:01.300 and then I'll fall into that path

00:07:03.100 and I'll never reach that high that I had

00:07:05.380 after I named Gorlock the Destroyer, so.

00:07:07.200 Quit while you're ahead.

00:07:07.980 Blort.

00:07:08.440 Let's stick with Blort.

00:07:09.640 Blort.

00:07:10.360 And someone made a Mad Max AI of Blort.

00:07:13.020 Yeah.

00:07:13.540 That looks pretty good.

00:07:15.220 Yeah, fits right in.

00:07:16.700 And the AI makes the jiggles real.

00:07:18.540 Oh, yeah.

00:07:19.500 AI's getting good.

00:07:20.300 AI's good, man.

00:07:21.220 What can you say?

00:07:21.940 For stuff like this,

00:07:23.800 this is the type of thing that would take

00:07:25.580 180 editing hours to do 1.00

00:07:29.120 And instead, some idiot just does it in 20 minutes. 1.00

00:07:31.660 If you wanted to shoot this, this would be like $20 million. 1.00

00:07:34.480 I know.

00:07:35.320 Catering.

00:07:36.040 Catering.

00:07:36.580 The extras, everything.

00:07:37.940 Permits, insurance.

00:07:39.280 Oh, this lady. 1.00

00:07:39.820 Get out to Bakersfield and film it. 1.00

00:07:41.900 Whole fucking thing. 1.00

00:07:42.980 This lady's only job is to make sure they get a water break. 1.00

00:07:45.940 Yeah.

00:07:46.260 You know?

00:07:46.700 It's like the union job.

00:07:48.140 There's a child actor person who's there, teacher, homeschooler.

00:07:52.700 AI has come a long way.

00:07:53.860 And we've kind of talked about this in Bonusland, but we use AI for the thumbnails.

00:07:57.540 And in the beginning, it would be like, put this guy in a police outfit.

00:08:01.360 And I would come out like, and now it's actually really good.

00:08:06.280 Like it really is receptive and it has learned.

00:08:08.340 AI has learned.

00:08:09.640 Yeah.

00:08:09.920 Getting smarter.

00:08:10.840 Totally. 0.97

00:08:11.600 And we know, we laugh at the retarded people we see at the No Kings protest, but we did 1.00

00:08:16.580 have our own embarrassing event this weekend as well. 0.94

00:08:20.780 CPAC.

00:08:21.420 I'm sure you guys heard, but CPAC was this weekend and it was pretty much empty.

00:08:26.220 Yeah.

00:08:26.700 And we're hearing that from secondhand.

00:08:28.920 You know, some people could take a picture at an inopportune time.

00:08:31.820 But the vibe was that it doesn't have as much cachet as it used to, pretty much.

00:08:36.200 There is the trick where, like, you take a picture of a Trump rally and Trump's two hours out and it's empty.

00:08:42.380 We've watched CNN do that for 10 years at this point.

00:08:45.540 But those pics, there's people on stage giving a speech.

00:08:48.320 And it's empty.

00:08:50.240 So that's pretty good.

00:08:50.920 And it's a shame because CPAC used to be, like, a fun event.

00:08:53.840 Like, five years ago, six years ago.

00:08:55.860 It's like, oh, you're going to CPAC, and everyone would go, and it would be one of those yearly events that everyone gets together for.

00:09:01.680 And now it's just completely irrelevant and like a boomer fest.

00:09:05.080 Yeah, it's kind of sad.

00:09:06.300 Yeah.

00:09:06.780 It shows where we're at, right?

00:09:08.300 It shows where enthusiasm is and who's kind of winning.

00:09:11.740 It should be a warning sign for the people in charge, but I don't know if it is.

00:09:15.320 No, as long as they get their war, they'll go scrap it, dump the rest of it. 0.99

00:09:19.080 I don't give a shit. 0.99

00:09:19.960 The war, right? 0.99

00:09:20.980 There's a certain faction of the Republican Party who genuinely thinks close to that.

00:09:24.680 You know, we're doing hyperbole when we're making fun of it, but there's genuinely some people who this makes it all worth it.

00:09:31.160 A vote well spent. Right. That's their entire mindset.

00:09:33.940 And that's evident in the poll numbers from CPAC.

00:09:36.600 They had some CPAC straw polls and it's from all the people who went to CPAC.

00:09:40.260 And look at the numbers.

00:09:41.480 Approve of President Trump, 96 percent.

00:09:44.620 Approve of Trump removing Khomeini and Iran regime to stop nukes slash missiles, 89 percent approve.

00:09:51.100 Israel as a key U.S. strategic ally, 85 percent agree.

00:09:54.680 So there you go.

00:09:55.540 The poll's worth nothing.

00:09:57.320 And everybody there had a set way of thinking, right?

00:10:00.200 Yeah.

00:10:00.560 And you asked the 300 people who went.

00:10:03.980 And out of all of them, they're either like boomers or they have like retard boomer Brylin 0.99

00:10:08.960 Hollihan politics, or they're going ironically and they're America first and they actually

00:10:14.060 hate CPAC.

00:10:14.900 And then they're also avoiding the pollster.

00:10:16.760 No, thank you.

00:10:17.740 Someone who gets stuck talking to a pollster is a certain type of person.

00:10:21.800 Very true.

00:10:22.380 And at CPAC, they had an Indian singing country music.

00:10:25.700 Yeah, here he is.

00:10:26.500 Can you read the tweet?

00:10:27.320 His name's Deepak, and is an Indian singing country music

00:10:30.740 in a room full of 30 people, and you're blackpilling?

00:10:33.380 Yes.

00:10:34.280 That's pretty good.

00:10:35.240 I am.

00:10:35.700 I like to see that, even though it's our own side.

00:10:38.460 But when your own side deserves to fail, you like to see it fail.

00:10:43.060 And a lot of the speakers, like we've kind of mentioned,

00:10:45.860 all were pushing an agenda and a narrative.

00:10:49.000 And it's like a neocon Israel-first agenda.

00:10:51.480 Yeah.

00:10:52.380 And they're really into the podcast wars.

00:10:54.500 They're really into Tucker Carlson and disavowing certain people, right?

00:10:58.440 And they're making it seem like-

00:10:59.520 We have all three branches.

00:11:01.100 The Supreme Court, the presidency, the House, and the Senate.

00:11:04.000 We have everything.

00:11:05.220 And then people are getting up at CPAC and talking about podcasters.

00:11:08.400 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:09.200 We have all those things.

00:11:10.460 And then the problem is podcasters trying to stop the boots on the ground war with Iran.

00:11:16.000 Got it.

00:11:16.540 Thanks, guys.

00:11:17.060 And one of those speakers was Josh Hammer.

00:11:19.340 We'll just play a clip and then we'll kind of tell you more about him.

00:11:22.380 but some others are absolutely terrible and a few of them are speaking at this

00:11:26.820 conference too. Matt Gates, there's your shout out. These black-billing doomsdayers 1.00

00:11:33.840 are engaged in a conscientious brain-wrought opt to make the right 0.99

00:11:37.800 retarded. The slogan that catapulted Donald Trump to the presidency continues 0.99

00:11:42.840 to define his political career is make America great again. It's a picky and

00:11:49.440 inspiring call to action in it are three distinct claims first america was once great second america

00:11:57.300 became less than great and third it will one day be made great again so we get it he's going swag

00:12:05.740 he's talking about semantics uh on maga yeah he's telling you the definition of maga in like a

00:12:10.140 monotone voice very entertaining shit right zero swag and the whole speech is about the problems 0.95

00:12:15.860 with the right wing and eventually he calls the new right the retard right which is a name i'm 0.98

00:12:20.680 happy to embrace i actually do like that yeah you personally i could see you kind of going okay i'm

00:12:25.520 into that vibes and finger in the air yeah but just call us goyim brother yeah and this guy i 0.81

00:12:32.940 think this guy said some shit like uh it's in every european's dna to be anti-semitic and stuff 0.94

00:12:38.520 he's got he's done some blood libel i believe is what i've seen he's a big promoter of that and 0.98

00:12:43.500 And it's weird because why would he be a headline speaker at CPAC when he's not really that relevant?

00:12:50.860 Cassandra had a tweet that talks about his subscribers.

00:12:53.600 And we have some context on how many views he gets an episode.

00:12:56.260 Newsweek has over 700,000 subscribers.

00:12:58.640 And his show always gets just a few hundred views.

00:13:01.400 Why is he even speaking anywhere he's wildly irrelevant?

00:13:04.400 That's her words, not ours.

00:13:05.980 Those are my words, too.

00:13:07.260 Run it up the flagpole.

00:13:09.660 I'll take some of those words.

00:13:10.700 And then somebody said, I checked Josh Hammer's YouTube channel to justify this wasn't an outlier.

00:13:15.640 Here are the views on his past several episodes, each episode 42 minutes long.

00:13:20.740 500, 600, 600, 400, 300, 700, 500, 750.

00:13:27.140 So no one cares.

00:13:28.480 No one watches his show.

00:13:29.580 He doesn't have a real audience.

00:13:30.900 He's not relevant.

00:13:31.700 But he does say the Israel first go to war against Iran stuff.

00:13:37.240 So they push him out front and he gives a speech.

00:13:39.460 Yeah. Not the best views, but on YouTube or the algorithm isn't working for him. Maybe he's shadow banned, but he will say he will demonize a certain portion of the right wing and get into the podcast wars because I guess that's what's important when you hold every branch of government and all power and you can't even get voter ID passed in an 85-15 issue. So I don't know. I wonder why attendance is so low.

00:14:03.660 and it's ironic too because you get into the podcast wars like and you're doing it for clicks

00:14:08.360 and then no one watches your take on the podcast wars it's bad no one cares and and there's this

00:14:14.100 there's this energy from the right which is uh from that side of the right the pro-war right

00:14:18.840 which is nobody cares about podcasts nobody's listening to podcasts but like for trump to get

00:14:24.260 elected in 2024 like the young men and podcast game was like an area they wanted to talk to

00:14:30.140 and Trump had to do that.

00:14:32.400 And so they can't really have it both ways.

00:14:33.960 Podcasts are irrelevant

00:14:34.760 and we also need this pipeline

00:14:36.080 open up to get elected.

00:14:37.440 Yeah, remember Theo Vaughn.

00:14:38.920 In one side of the mouth,

00:14:39.980 out the other type of thing going on.

00:14:41.640 Theo Vaughn with J.D. Vance,

00:14:43.720 Joe Rogan with Trump.

00:14:44.880 That was a huge push

00:14:45.960 to get the podcasters,

00:14:47.500 you know, on the right wing side.

00:14:49.140 And he says,

00:14:50.180 oh, podcasters are irrelevant.

00:14:51.420 And then his podcast

00:14:52.540 is literally irrelevant.

00:14:54.040 It's almost like ironic.

00:14:55.080 He's like trying to,

00:14:56.880 I don't know,

00:14:57.540 like make himself feel better

00:14:59.060 in a way.

00:14:59.760 Podcasts don't matter.

00:15:00.860 I swear they don't matter.

00:15:01.820 They all get 500 views.

00:15:03.100 No one even watches it.

00:15:04.780 I don't even put up a thumbnail anymore.

00:15:06.660 Like he's getting lazy.

00:15:08.400 And then CPAC's numbers were bad too.

00:15:10.840 They streamed all the speeches

00:15:12.660 and they were all getting a couple hundred views each.

00:15:15.040 Nothing crazy.

00:15:16.000 And I think they have a lot of subs.

00:15:17.220 So that's kind of telling where the engagement is right now.

00:15:20.080 For sure.

00:15:20.460 And the final thing I want to talk about is Matt Schlapp,

00:15:25.180 who runs CPAC and arranges it every year,

00:15:28.000 and his salary.

00:15:29.000 Yeah. The American Conservative Union's latest 990 tax filings reveal chairman Matt Schlapp is paying himself at least $837,000 per year, while his wife receives $178K, bringing their combined annual compensation to $1 million a year.

00:15:44.600 For just running CPAC, huh?

00:15:46.100 Yeah. So what is it that you say you do here?

00:15:48.800 And he would probably say, well, I raise money to pay me to raise more money to pay my wife to raise money to pay me to throw this boomer fest.

00:15:59.220 Everything's above board here.

00:16:00.900 Everything's above board.

00:16:02.240 So that was that's our CPAC coverage.

00:16:05.500 Nothing.

00:16:06.520 Are you sad you didn't go?

00:16:08.280 Yeah, I missed out, man.

00:16:09.480 I could have seen that speech from that guy who talked about Europeans being anti-Semitic.

00:16:15.340 And he broke down the definition of MAGA.

00:16:17.660 That's fun.

00:16:18.300 And the crowd would have been so light that he would have been like, and some of the podcasters are right there.

00:16:23.620 And it's like us in the chair, like, no.

00:16:26.840 Oh, that's pretty good.

00:16:27.820 We went to CPAC.

00:16:28.940 The last time we went was in Orlando.

00:16:30.880 And you got kicked out with a mask.

00:16:32.100 And I got kicked out for not wearing a mask.

00:16:33.920 I just refused to do it.

00:16:35.280 And they started following me around.

00:16:37.120 They were grabbing me.

00:16:38.200 And I just said, you told me I need to wear a mask or I have to leave.

00:16:41.380 I'm going to leave.

00:16:42.380 And I had shirts I was giving out.

00:16:43.960 And I just threw all my shirts in the air and left.

00:16:45.900 Yep.

00:16:46.520 That was one of my better days.

00:16:48.300 Arrest Cuomo shirts.

00:16:49.580 Yeah.

00:16:49.920 That was a good throwback.

00:16:50.720 Never worked out.

00:16:51.520 Yeah.

00:16:51.840 We never got him.

00:16:52.780 He ran for mayor.

00:16:53.900 Ran for mayor, actually.

00:16:55.800 Oh, man.

00:16:56.480 All right.

00:16:56.720 Well, let's get to the polls now that we're deep into politics.

00:16:59.700 Well, yeah.

00:16:59.960 Let's get into the context of this because, yeah, it's fun to make fun of the No Kings protesters.

00:17:03.880 And there are some freaks and some old boomers. 1.00

00:17:06.100 And CPAC's not going well.

00:17:08.380 But all those things in combination lead to waning enthusiasm on our side and, you know, a baseline level of enthusiasm from at least the boomers for the left. 0.57

00:17:17.820 So it's not exactly comfy. Yes, we're going to make fun of it, but we're not in great shape.

00:17:22.760 Especially when you see this next poll, it's a Fox News poll. So Trump has basically lost Fox News.

00:17:28.720 Well, this is for everybody. It's registered voters is the field. And so approval rating

00:17:32.860 overall, 41%, 59% disapprove. Inflation hasn't been solved at all. 28% approved, 71% disapprove.

00:17:41.260 Economy, 66% disapprove. Foreign policy, 62% disapprove. And Iran, 64% disapprove.

00:17:47.820 So the people aren't happy with what we're doing.

00:17:49.940 And then when it comes to the next batch of elections that are coming up, we're not looking good there either.

00:17:55.300 We have one more disapprove-approved number, and then we'll get into the elections.

00:17:58.220 Just another general Trump poll.

00:18:00.000 Disapproval rating at 62 percent.

00:18:01.760 Trump's lowest approval in either term.

00:18:04.400 Immigration, negative 25. 0.78

00:18:06.140 Jobs, minus 31.

00:18:07.780 Tariffs, minus 36.

00:18:08.860 Inflation, minus 47.

00:18:09.940 So massive.

00:18:11.240 Just not very –

00:18:12.940 You can't find a poll where everyone's happy except for CPAC, and then no one went.

00:18:17.520 Except for the people who actually go to CVAC.

00:18:19.300 That's the only poll.

00:18:20.280 And maybe Trump sees that poll and he's like, oh, doing pretty good.

00:18:23.500 Laura Ingram says things are going great.

00:18:25.680 Yeah.

00:18:25.980 And the economy and immigrants, we always talk about how it goes hand in hand.

00:18:30.520 But inflation being high, that was not like a transitory issue that Americans would eventually forget about.

00:18:37.720 That's like, hey, I used to be able to buy this much from the grocery store and my auto parts, all my car repairs were budgeted for this and my insurance.

00:18:46.240 like people are literally seeking refuge right now from inflation. And so to shoot gas up through

00:18:55.080 an Israel-Iran war, I'm not really, you can't say I'm trying my best anymore either. So it's a 0.87

00:19:01.740 little dark. And we'll get into the inflation stuff in just a couple of minutes. We have some

00:19:05.260 Senate polls released from Maine, Alaska, North Carolina, and New Hampshire. Yeah. Maine,

00:19:10.720 the Democrat candidate's up seven. Plattner, that's that weird guy who's kind of like,

00:19:15.220 let me talk to you and he has like some sort of Nazi tattoo oh yeah that he's like trying to like

00:19:19.440 sweep away he's like the CIA contractor guy kind of yeah Alaska uh plus 4.8 uh over a Republican

00:19:27.500 Democrat leading in Alaska North Carolina the Democrats up eight points over Watley and New

00:19:33.660 Hampshire uh Pappas versus Sununu I thought Sununu was the governor um but that's that's a tight one

00:19:40.600 but it's plus one it's everyone's leaning blue right now at the current time right yep and then

00:19:45.020 North Carolina, we go a little deeper with some of these polls.

00:19:48.720 Yeah, just the Senate race.

00:19:50.700 I just mentioned Supreme Court.

00:19:52.600 They have a blue Democrat who's leading by two and a half points-ish.

00:19:57.340 And then generic ballot, the Dems are leading by five points.

00:19:59.920 So they're killing us everywhere.

00:20:01.140 Yeah. 1.00

00:20:01.560 This shit, these decisions with the limited amount of time we have with the majority in every House, it's affecting us. 1.00

00:20:09.040 We're ineffective. And then there's a natural swing to the other side that happens of enthusiasm. 1.00

00:20:15.060 So it's sad. So for us to not seize this opportunity with all the stuff our base really

00:20:21.320 likes and instead go with what the donor class likes, it's a missed opportunity. And then we're

00:20:26.380 going to pay the price with a deadlocked electorate and it's over. And if you think about

00:20:32.660 how rare this opportunity is where we have like the House and Senate and the presidency and even

00:20:38.660 the Supreme Court, you could say. Yeah. It's like, we're never, are we ever going to have this again?

00:20:44.000 I don't think with Texas becoming Indian with the suburbs. I don't know. I don't think so.

00:20:49.160 Me too. All right. This next week kind of sums up all of these polls in a way I thought was

00:20:53.100 insightful. Republicans are down in every single statewide race in North Carolina, including the

00:20:58.000 court that was so hard to wrestle back from crazy leftists. When the slop fades, Israel first is 0.87

00:21:03.500 going to have to defend how this was worth it. Preview, it's not going to sell. That's very

00:21:08.560 true. But do not worry. The national debt is still going up no matter who's in power. We have a graph

00:21:14.580 here. That's the national debt. Blue is Democrat, Red's Republican. Yeah. And it's constant and

00:21:18.980 it's parabolic. So some of you guys were worried, but what about the national debt? That's not going

00:21:22.400 to go up, right? Make sure it's going up. I want Somalis to have to pay for that in 2090. Don't 1.00

00:21:27.300 worry. It's still up. Yeah. So like we said, another reason so many people, especially young

00:21:33.180 people are not happy with Republicans is because of inflation and affordability. And we have some

00:21:38.760 examples here of what 20 bucks gets you at McDonald's these days. Two large fries and two

00:21:45.740 Cokes. And it's it's 20 bucks now. This is from Toronto. 20 bucks. It's potatoes and syrup water

00:21:52.140 and it's 20 bucks. Oops. Yeah. And then Netflix is another example. 2011, it was $7.99 a month.

00:21:58.960 and then now it's $20 a month.

00:22:00.720 $8.99, yeah.

00:22:01.780 You can see the steady increases up 150% over 15 years.

00:22:05.380 And that's slop content now.

00:22:08.640 It's like Lifetime movies on there.

00:22:10.580 Yeah.

00:22:10.920 You ever go on Netflix these days?

00:22:12.500 Not really.

00:22:13.380 Yeah, it's like Lifetime.

00:22:15.000 It's dramas. 1.00

00:22:15.640 It's bad casted movies and horrible shit. 1.00

00:22:17.900 I just autistically watch Seinfeld at night 1.00

00:22:19.980 before I go to bed.

00:22:20.860 It resets me.

00:22:21.700 On my account, right?

00:22:22.740 Yeah, I think so.

00:22:23.620 Yeah, thanks.

00:22:24.760 And then this next clip is from Panera.

00:22:27.860 Wait till you see how much food this costs.

00:22:30.640 It's got some copywritten music.

00:22:32.540 It's two sandwiches, two large soups, and it's $71, or maybe three sandwiches.

00:22:38.020 No, I think it's two.

00:22:39.060 I think it's two grilled cheese and another sandwich, and it's $71.

00:22:43.120 And if you look closely, the soup is $20, and it's like microwaved hospital soup.

00:22:48.340 Yeah.

00:22:48.720 It's $20 for that soup.

00:22:50.180 And we've talked about how Panera is what became like a private equity thing,

00:22:54.640 and they're just ripped.

00:22:56.380 They're gutting people.

00:22:57.420 pretty much. So no one can afford anything. The dollar's worth nothing, but, and we're loaded

00:23:02.020 with migrants. And we're in Iran. What is that? Ground invasion? Are there troops on the ground? 0.98

00:23:06.900 But at least Chili's is keeping it 100. Burger with fries, bottomless chips and salsa,

00:23:12.540 and a drink at Chili's. 1099 from 2023 on. And this is something where when the world's changing

00:23:20.560 rapidly, you got to take note. Who's out there grinding for you? The consumer. Maybe Chili's

00:23:25.980 is not bad. I think Chili's is coming back. 1099 goyslop into perpetuity. Yeah, let's go, baby.

00:23:31.940 Let's go. The bottomless chips, that adds a layer to it. If I was broke,

00:23:35.920 that's what I'd be doing, eating bottomless chips. Fill up on bottomless chips. That's not bad.

00:23:40.060 Yeah. But it's one of those things where if you aren't explicitly against costs rising,

00:23:45.440 then you're just going to go with the economy, right? You're going to go up. Hey, we can grab

00:23:49.940 more. Our costs are up. But Chili's seems to be on some sort of defiant thing where they're

00:23:56.520 explicitly left out of this. Don't mention me with the inflation.

00:24:01.060 Thank you, Chili's. We're standing back and standing by.

00:24:03.660 Yeah. I'm ready to serve. I will invade anywhere for you, Chili's. 0.98

00:24:08.280 Oh, man. All right. So like we mentioned a few minutes ago, the poll numbers are all down. And

00:24:14.120 a big reason is how unpopular fighting this war in Iran for Israel is, especially if it's boots

00:24:19.700 on the ground. And it sounds like it's going to keep accelerating. Let's start with this tweet.

00:24:24.380 Apparently, J.D. Vance was negotiating with someone in Iran and they got blown up.

00:24:28.560 Yeah. This was about after. I mean, so there's been various kind of ceasefires or attempted

00:24:34.220 ceasefires or Trump extending, hey, we're not going to touch power plants or anything for another week

00:24:39.440 to get the people to the negotiating table. And there was this that says breaking.

00:24:45.000 Rosatom says situation at Iran's Boucher nuclear power plant continues to deteriorate after multiple Israeli attacks.

00:24:52.960 So they have been bombed by Israel.

00:24:55.160 So Trump's trying to, via J.D. Vance, like negotiate with whoever's still in charge over there.

00:25:00.600 Yeah.

00:25:00.880 And then Israel's attacking them and they ended up killing the guy.

00:25:03.740 Yeah.

00:25:04.020 And then somebody said they just killed the guy J.D. Vance was supposed to be negotiating with.

00:25:07.600 They blew up key energy infrastructure in Iran against U.S. wishes.

00:25:11.820 They blew up hospitals.

00:25:12.800 They blew up a water facility.

00:25:13.780 and now this, when will you realize the Israelis are trying to force a bigger war?

00:25:18.920 That's the key takeaway.

00:25:20.020 You guys all knew that was coming.

00:25:21.560 No, I'm not touching you.

00:25:22.720 That wasn't part of the ceasefire.

00:25:24.480 And then just kind of like taking as much as they can while eliminating any goodwill

00:25:29.060 that the U.S. had to negotiate something where we don't have to put boots on the ground, right?

00:25:33.560 Yep.

00:25:33.800 And there was another article that kind of talked about the details of boots on the ground

00:25:37.280 and what that's going to look like.

00:25:38.740 The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said,

00:25:42.760 as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East

00:25:45.620 for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war

00:25:47.920 should President Donald Trump choose to escalate.

00:25:50.460 Any potential ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion

00:25:53.300 and could instead involve raids by a mixture of special operations forces

00:25:56.780 and conventional infantry troops, said the officials.

00:26:00.780 All spoke on the condition of anonymity, blah, blah, blah.

00:26:03.440 So there is a chance some ground forces from America are going in,

00:26:08.180 but don't worry, no Israeli troops will be going in.

00:26:11.580 Yeah. Channel 12 reports that if the U.S. launches a ground operation on an Iran, Israeli troops will not take part in the combat.

00:26:18.860 So our guys can die, not theirs. And that's what the Goyim are for. 1.00

00:26:22.300 Didn't that happen in Operation Iraqi Freedom, too? No Israelis were in it. 0.64

00:26:26.300 I remember there was one of those conflicts, either the initial early desert storm or the later Iraq war.

00:26:32.980 No Israelis got involved. So I'm not surprised. 1.00

00:26:35.520 And I think there's a stat, and I might be botching it, but I think there's 23,000 American troops that fight for the IDF, and then there's like 10,000 or 15,000 total troops in the U.S. military that are Jewish.

00:26:49.720 So it's like they're not really serving for us.

00:26:53.320 Not good.

00:26:54.160 And then Lindsey Graham has been a big pusher for the war in Iran, and he was in South Carolina at a festival or like – what's it called?

00:27:03.340 Rally.

00:27:03.600 A rally, and he took the stage, and it did not go well.

00:27:14.200 So it's all Trump crowd, and they're booing him.

00:27:24.600 So embarrassing.

00:27:29.860 Like, why would he even give the speech?

00:27:31.320 Like, hey, Lindsey Graham, we have a rally.

00:27:33.040 Do you want to talk?

00:27:33.720 And it's like, eh, I have a feeling everyone's going to boo me and hate me.

00:27:36.960 Like, did he not think that was going to happen?

00:27:38.520 No, that's part of it. 1.00

00:27:39.380 He just eats shit. 1.00

00:27:40.740 It's just, hey, I'm supporting this unpopular thing. 1.00

00:27:43.260 I'm going to have to eat shit every once in a while. 0.99

00:27:45.600 That's so crazy. 1.00

00:27:46.100 And they accept it.

00:27:46.800 That's part of it.

00:27:47.480 Yeah.

00:27:47.980 It's like, oh, we're working on something bigger and more important than if my constituents

00:27:52.000 like me.

00:27:52.700 It's like, well, what?

00:27:54.100 Oh, that little country I go to every two weeks in the Middle East.

00:27:56.860 What?

00:27:57.800 Yeah.

00:27:58.360 And then, like we mentioned earlier, Trump told everyone to watch Mark Levin over the

00:28:02.480 weekend, and this is what Mark Levin was saying. Troops on the ground. He said no troops on the

00:28:08.580 ground. I don't remember that in any campaign speech either. Well, why would we need troops

00:28:14.780 on the ground? Well, there's a lot of reasons, and we wouldn't need 300,000 of them. It's this

00:28:22.060 uranium, too. We've got to get the uranium. Fucking. If it cannot be destroyed, if it cannot

00:28:30.680 be altered. We got to get it. We, we, we, us, ours. You, your kids. All these collective

00:28:39.580 pronouns. Nope. Not, no one in his family is going. There's not we. Yeah. So we've said this

00:28:45.540 before, but the MAGA party has been taken over by the Israel firsters, which is ironic because in

00:28:51.520 2016, 2020, and even 2024, they were not for Trump, but now they're the leaders of the party

00:28:59.520 and deciding who's in and who's out.

00:29:01.080 It's pretty funny.

00:29:02.120 We have a meme here,

00:29:03.440 2016 Never Trumpers versus 2026 MAGA.

00:29:06.580 Yep.

00:29:06.980 Isn't it crazy how that worked?

00:29:08.440 It is.

00:29:08.980 And we've talked about how like Israel first people

00:29:12.640 are gonna infiltrate the party and take over

00:29:14.840 and everyone kind of like throws it out like,

00:29:17.040 oh, that's a little too far for me.

00:29:19.140 Here we are.

00:29:20.120 Yeah, Trump lets them.

00:29:21.140 They're his closest advisors.

00:29:22.520 Yeah.

00:29:22.900 They're the people who are in his ear all the time, right? 0.98

00:29:25.480 Crazy. 0.89

00:29:26.060 He's golfing with them.

00:29:27.280 Yeah.

00:29:27.900 And like, this was foretold.

00:29:29.520 So it's a squandered, as far as it's, it's becoming a squandered presidency in a lot of areas, because like we said, we've stopped the bleeding on some certain things, but the wound can open right up as soon as Democrats are in. And lasting change, it doesn't really happen when you're distracted with a Middle Eastern war, right?

00:29:47.840 So true. And then our greatest ally over the weekend was Palm Sunday, but they canceled Palm Sunday Mass in the Holy Land.

00:29:55.440 Israeli police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierre-Baptiste Pizzabala, head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate Palm Sunday Mass.

00:30:07.600 This is the first time in centuries that the heads of the church were barred from entering or from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

00:30:14.640 So that's not nice.

00:30:16.020 Yeah, not very friendly.

00:30:17.840 And, you know, oh, there's an issue.

00:30:20.100 We're at war.

00:30:20.840 There's bombs, you know.

00:30:22.240 Oh, I guess you can't do your thing.

00:30:24.140 Was that important to you, your faith?

00:30:26.740 Come back next time.

00:30:28.700 And then Alex Jones posted this.

00:30:31.100 Kash Patel's Telegram account got hacked,

00:30:33.100 and he has an Israeli flag in his bio even before the U.S. flag.

00:30:38.300 Wow.

00:30:39.020 What's that about?

00:30:40.500 What?

00:30:41.100 India and Israel, number one.

00:30:42.900 Yeah.

00:30:43.320 I don't get it.

00:30:44.280 Not good.

00:30:45.440 All right, speaking of Israeli, we got a Rabbi Shmuley clip here.

00:30:49.840 This is probably my favorite clip from the whole show.

00:30:52.080 When should Jews speak up and be lions, and when should they be silent and be sheep? 1.00

00:30:57.260 Believe it or not, that is the subject of one of the most important Broadway shows that's on right now, Giant.

00:31:02.280 John Lithgow, the great actor, stars as Roald Dahl. 0.96

00:31:05.240 Roald Dahl is probably the most famous children's author of our time, but he was a disgusting, vile anti-Semite. 0.97

00:31:09.960 He called Israel Nazis. He called all Jews complicit in genocide. 0.98

00:31:13.780 All Jews all over the world, non-Israelis. 1.00

00:31:15.720 He was a pig. He was a vile, disgusting pig. 1.00

00:31:17.880 the question is should we stock his books and read james and the giant uh peach okay that's a 1.00

00:31:24.360 different subject what's fascinating is rabbi schmuley is a zionist fucking pig here he is right 1.00

00:31:32.060 on camera hi everybody i have no problem saying it rabbi schmuley say your name i'm salvo baby 0.99

00:31:41.700 Say it all. 1.00

00:31:42.240 Zionist pig, relax. 1.00

00:31:43.160 Why would I give a Zionist? 1.00

00:31:43.660 Excuse me.

00:31:44.180 Why would I give?

00:31:44.660 Excuse me.

00:31:44.900 Excuse me.

00:31:45.500 Officer, this man is attacking me.

00:31:47.760 I have it on video right now.

00:31:49.520 I have it on video.

00:31:50.360 I have it on video.

00:31:51.340 I have it on video.

00:31:51.820 He's a Jew. 1.00

00:31:52.660 He's a hate crime. 1.00

00:31:53.620 He's threatening me. 0.99

00:31:54.460 I called him a Zionist. 0.61

00:31:55.860 He came over to me and I filmed the whole thing.

00:31:57.720 I have it on video.

00:31:58.120 Very well known, Rabbi.

00:31:59.100 I just talked to you.

00:31:59.620 He is threatening my life.

00:32:00.960 No, I didn't.

00:32:01.420 He has to be arrested.

00:32:02.360 Please.

00:32:02.860 He has to be arrested for a hate crime.

00:32:05.760 So he does a video.

00:32:06.920 He's threatening me.

00:32:07.160 He did like six lies in 30 seconds after that to the police immediately.

00:32:12.060 But he gets special rules because it's anti-Semitism.

00:32:15.120 Dude, he sprung into this energy.

00:32:17.720 The only word I can describe it with is frenetic.

00:32:20.100 He's immediately like jumpy, going crazy.

00:32:23.020 What's your phone number? 0.99

00:32:24.400 And he was calling Roald Dahl a pig. 0.99

00:32:26.420 And then this guy calls him a pig. 0.99

00:32:28.660 Exactly. 0.99

00:32:29.300 And that's a hate crime or something.

00:32:30.340 And he's been assaulted.

00:32:31.440 Yeah. 0.99

00:32:31.640 So he calls Roald Dahl a vile pig. 1.00

00:32:34.160 And then someone goes, hey, Zionist pig. 0.99

00:32:35.980 And now it's a hate crime when he runs to the police and the way he runs to the police, like in the beginning, he's handling it and they're going back and forth. 0.97

00:32:42.600 But as soon as he sees a cop, it starts running and sprints towards it.

00:32:46.940 It's like not good for the stereotypes, brother.

00:32:49.640 Oh, my God.

00:32:50.780 That's one of the funniest clips I've ever seen.

00:32:53.440 And you can extrapolate.

00:32:54.900 It kind of reminds me.

00:32:55.460 Yeah.

00:32:55.920 You're going to extrapolate it to the Middle Eastern conflict.

00:32:58.620 Hamas is doing that. 0.94

00:33:00.240 Look at Hamas. 0.79

00:33:01.540 That's why it's in this section.

00:33:02.820 You can extrapolate that behavior to the globe and the whole world makes a lot more sense.

00:33:08.300 Yeah. 0.96

00:33:08.760 Oh, Hamas is going to kill us. 0.65

00:33:10.900 Hamas killed us and they attacked us. 1.00

00:33:12.940 So we're going to attack them and kill 10 times as many people over two years. 0.95

00:33:17.300 And then Mark Levin, if we go back to Mark Levin, he's going, when did on the campaign did Donald Trump say no boots on the ground? 0.98

00:33:24.120 They're trying to get you on these little things.

00:33:26.480 So unpopular, so entitled, unbelievable, man.

00:33:30.800 It's crazy.

00:33:31.100 This is what we're wasting our term on.

00:33:34.180 This is what we're wasting a mandate from heaven on.

00:33:37.980 Yeah, this is such a rare opportunity we have.

00:33:41.300 Unbelievable, guys.

00:33:42.040 And Rabbi Shmuley is so unlikable, but it actually works in their favor because he's so unlikable.

00:33:49.140 So he gets hate, and I'm sure he gets threats and bad comments.

00:33:52.640 And then they count that as anti-Semitism.

00:33:53.780 And they go, oh, we're getting attacked.

00:33:55.100 Look how much we're getting attacked.

00:33:55.980 We need to raise more money.

00:33:57.040 We need free speech laws.

00:33:58.440 We need to protect Jewish people.

00:33:59.700 We're all getting attacked. 0.99

00:34:01.100 Really repugnant. 0.98

00:34:02.260 They like to be attacked. 0.94

00:34:04.260 I know it's an unpopular opinion, but they like it.

00:34:07.260 All right, moving on.

00:34:08.660 We are still deep in our politics section.

00:34:10.700 And like we said, with this Israel first MAGA takeover, it's starting to affect politics 0.98

00:34:16.000 going forward and it's going to affect endorsements a lot.

00:34:19.140 Ben Shapiro on his show just recently endorsed Byron Donalds.

00:34:23.060 Yeah, for governor of Florida.

00:34:24.540 And that's pretty standard.

00:34:25.960 I mean, Byron is the front runner.

00:34:27.400 He's endorsed by Trump.

00:34:28.680 He's the GOP kind of guy.

00:34:30.460 We're just not thrilled about him.

00:34:31.820 We don't think he has an X factor.

00:34:32.960 I don't think he's that smart.

00:34:34.400 Not that smart.

00:34:35.340 And he's like doing like boomer politics.

00:34:38.300 Yes.

00:34:38.900 That's the problem.

00:34:40.080 Well, there's a certain plug and play boomer politics where it's like, I get the endorsements. 0.99

00:34:43.720 I just say middle of the road shit and I win. 0.99

00:34:46.340 I get the money. 0.99

00:34:47.260 Because it's, yeah, I have the money behind it. 1.00

00:34:49.140 I say middle of the road shit. 0.99

00:34:50.100 I have the key endorsements. 0.99

00:34:51.100 I'm non-controversial.

00:34:52.640 And Florida is such a deep red state that I'm going to walk into the governor's mansion.

00:34:56.080 Right.

00:34:56.220 And they'll just use him as a pawn to do this boomer politics.

00:34:59.220 Yeah.

00:34:59.340 And I was thinking that the Ben Shapiro endorsement in the near future, if not already, will be like an anti-endorsement.

00:35:07.220 An inverse indicator for a certain type of foreign policy.

00:35:10.060 And if things keep going in this direction, the same for Trump.

00:35:13.260 Like if Trump says, I endorse Byron Donalds to fulfill my agenda and the agenda is war for Israel and no deportations, I don't think we want that.

00:35:20.820 Yeah, I think we're going to move on, you know.

00:35:23.100 It's kind of sad, but we have to move on.

00:35:25.000 We need a spiritual successor, right?

00:35:27.040 Exactly.

00:35:27.440 And that's why young people are not falling in line with the boomer politics.

00:35:32.120 We have a young 18 to 34-year-old only governor primary poll.

00:35:37.300 GOP primary specifically.

00:35:38.940 James Fishback, 32%.

00:35:40.360 Byron Donald's 8%.

00:35:41.780 Jay Collins, 3%.

00:35:43.240 And he blows everyone out.

00:35:44.340 James Fishback.

00:35:45.160 So if he wins or not, I don't know.

00:35:47.300 He probably won't because the machine's behind Byron Donald.

00:35:49.800 But the Fishback-style candidates are the future and are going to be the response to the Israel-first boomer politicians. 0.98

00:35:56.460 For sure.

00:35:57.080 And there is like, there's definitely a pushback like on that Israeli, like how close to you 1.00

00:36:02.800 are you to the Chinese machinery with your loose woven clothes?

00:36:06.320 Are you going to get sucked into another Middle Eastern war? 0.99

00:36:08.380 But I do think, I just think Fishback is a little fucking strange. 0.98

00:36:12.120 He's a little, a little sketchy as a guy. 0.97

00:36:15.180 Don't you, aren't you picking up on that vibe?

00:36:16.920 Yeah, yeah.

00:36:17.780 What were you saying three years ago and how does it not match what you're saying now?

00:36:21.400 And these people see an opportunity and they take it is what I feel like.

00:36:24.860 That's very true.

00:36:25.660 All right.

00:36:26.660 Well, let's move on to our fraud section.

00:36:29.420 There was a clip from Bill Maher from over the weekend I thought was really good.

00:36:33.240 He's basically kind of figuring out that there's a massive fraud problem without figuring it out.

00:36:39.420 I've asked this question so many weeks on this show and I can never get an answer.

00:36:43.140 I just don't understand the American economy.

00:36:45.380 I really don't.

00:36:46.020 I don't understand how there could be so much wealth and I pay so much in taxes.

00:36:50.740 And it doesn't seem to get to the people.

00:36:53.220 Like, I don't even mind doing it.

00:36:55.440 Over half.

00:36:56.260 Always.

00:36:56.660 Way over half.

00:36:58.020 And yet it just, I never read about the homeless getting better.

00:37:01.500 Anything getting better, at least in a city like this.

00:37:05.220 There you go.

00:37:05.800 What could it be, Bill?

00:37:07.580 Is someone just, they're just not doing a good job publicizing how all the improvements are going, right?

00:37:14.000 Something like that in his, like, liberal mind, right?

00:37:16.080 Ignore what you're seeing.

00:37:17.080 Everything is improving.

00:37:18.300 We're just bad at keeping the books. 0.96

00:37:19.720 Your money's going to a patronage network of universal basic income to retarded third-worlders and black people, Bill. 1.00

00:37:27.280 That's what's happening. 0.95

00:37:28.600 And people stealing the money.

00:37:30.040 Yes, yeah.

00:37:30.800 And there's nothing to show for it because you're paying people's monthly living expenses in squalor.

00:37:35.880 So if you went to some low-income guy's house and saw all the Pepsi and Little Debbies in their fridge.

00:37:42.980 And the blown-out walls.

00:37:44.060 You might understand where the money's going, right?

00:37:45.900 Oh, there it is.

00:37:47.000 Your fridge is full and you haven't worked in, what, 10 years?

00:37:50.060 Great.

00:37:50.460 You're smoking cigs in here, huh?

00:37:51.980 Okay. 0.91

00:37:52.580 You're a Somali who somehow billed $40 million to an autism slush fund. 1.00

00:37:57.260 Congratulations, man.

00:37:58.500 Hard work really does pay off, right?

00:38:00.440 Glad to see the money in action.

00:38:01.960 And we have two examples of the money being wasted.

00:38:05.740 We're going to start with the government job numbers of employees.

00:38:08.500 Number of government civilian employees in 1950, 2 million, the population being 151 million,

00:38:15.100 equals one government worker per 75 people, 75 Americans.

00:38:18.920 Number of civilian employees, 2024, 23 million.

00:38:22.640 Population, 342 million.

00:38:24.840 One government worker per 15 people.

00:38:27.880 That is a key fact.

00:38:30.260 And growing up, like my dad always was mentioning like, yeah, there's all these like government

00:38:35.640 workers.

00:38:36.140 They just keep loading up these government workers and it's all admins and bureaucracy.

00:38:40.600 But he was early to that.

00:38:42.980 Yeah, of course, man.

00:38:44.080 That's, it's been a trend for sure.

00:38:45.400 You know?

00:38:45.600 And then another example of where all the money-

00:38:48.380 talk about their pensions they all talk about their pensions and how they're five years out

00:38:52.320 from retirement and you go what have you guys done really and there's not much there's not 0.83

00:38:57.260 much to report yeah hold on let me get my pen then they lick their finger like crazy like 0.53

00:39:03.900 all the most annoying office worker qualities they use the long nails like this yeah lip smacking 1.00

00:39:10.560 lip smacking long nails on the keyboard like i said and then another obvious like i said you need

00:39:17.480 a 14 D that's a 14 C form. There's all these little things that like they, they need to keep

00:39:23.700 hidden from the public. So they keep their job. I'm a transfer you now. Yeah. I'm on break. Yeah.

00:39:29.080 And then another reason with all the fraud, uh, is from, because of high spend, low verification

00:39:34.240 programs. Yeah. Medicare, Medicaid, uh, unemployment insurance snap. So it's high

00:39:40.600 spend, low verification. And then Medicare Medicaid is 2 trillion. Yeah. Then what's the

00:39:45.600 next one? Unemployment insurance, Department of Labor, $43 billion. SNAP is $100 billion.

00:39:53.040 Temporary assistance for needy families, $16 billion. Department of Housing and Urban

00:39:57.920 Development's rental assistance, $64 billion. Small business SBA loans and assistance, $100

00:40:02.760 billion. That's per year. So that's also where all the money went. Yeah, that's a pretty high

00:40:07.460 run rate. Yeah. And then Stephen Miller did a press conference where he was explaining

00:40:12.020 the problems with SNAP and how they're not able to do oversight?

00:40:16.520 The food stamp program, as an example, SNAP, and that, of course, is administered by Secretary

00:40:22.940 Rollins. We do not know the names of any SNAP recipients in the state of Minnesota.

00:40:28.720 We just get a blank check. We have asked the state repeatedly and tried to compel the state

00:40:34.140 unsuccessfully to turn over their SNAP enrollment rules so we could ascertain such basic facts as

00:40:40.640 Are these people even legally eligible to receive these benefits?

00:40:44.720 And the state has refused, absolutely categorically refused.

00:40:49.100 And in fact, the state has spent millions of dollars in court for the singular purpose of trying to prevent the state from ascertaining the identity of a single SNAP recipient in the entire state of Minnesota.

00:40:59.920 There you go. It's a machine. It's an operation working against us and using our money.

00:41:05.880 Yeah. So it's a federal program, but it's administered state by state. And that's why we had kind of talked about SNAP beforehand, how certain states were ratcheting up their requirements, work requirements and stuff like that. And then for the one big, beautiful bill, we saw those requirements go out. But apparently Minnesota can still go, shh, you don't get to see it.

00:41:26.140 So true. And we have an example of another, it's kind of a random example of a random fraud section.

00:41:32.240 So we're kind of waxing poetically about fraud in general. And this one caught our eye, right?

00:41:37.260 This is a preschool exec who stole $3 million and spent it all on WWE wrestling events.

00:41:44.960 What's your favorite wrestler?

00:41:46.500 so uh overweight white lady really loves wrestling and uh she spent over 350 000 on 1.00

00:41:58.400 wwe vip tickets and meet and greets well at least the money went to john cena it didn't go to

00:42:07.160 somalia you know like that's like fraud at least it stayed in the economy at least it's circled 0.83

00:42:12.280 back, right? Some of these international fraudsters who are taking briefcases of money back to

00:42:17.000 Mogadishu, that doesn't help us at all. Yeah. And this is a small number, but I just wanted

00:42:21.820 to point that out. It's so funny to me that like fraud, oh, at least it was an American, 0.94

00:42:26.820 you know? WWE, I like them more than pretty much every other company. Yes. Yes. I'm glad

00:42:32.900 they got it back. Yeah. And so are we just going through this? Yeah. We'll go through this next

00:42:37.540 one is another example. Well, this is this is kind of interesting. So let's let's switch the

00:42:42.820 order here a little bit. Scott Besson made headlines this week by saying they were going

00:42:46.620 to roll out a new program offering tipsters up to 30 percent of fines recovered from Medicare and

00:42:51.980 Medicaid fraudsters. Given estimates of over 70 billion in yearly fraud across the two programs,

00:42:57.460 whistleblowers could earn significant rewards. Right. So that's kind of a new headline. We're

00:43:01.560 trying to crack down on fraud. We made J.D. Vance the head of the fraud investigation.

00:43:05.940 Besson is working on this.

00:43:07.060 This is similar to like reporting tax cheats.

00:43:09.900 So it's a system we already have in place.

00:43:13.260 And this could be a money-making way for some young investigative journalists.

00:43:16.940 They could give Nick Shirley a billion dollars.

00:43:18.800 They could give him a lot, but they got to recover the money, right?

00:43:22.820 And so, but we're getting a little mixed signals on this

00:43:26.040 because the Trump administration is also pardoning people

00:43:30.780 who have been accused of large-scale frauds.

00:43:33.800 Certain people.

00:43:34.220 Trump pardoned nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz just three months into his sentence for a $39 million fraud scheme.

00:43:40.940 Meanwhile, families who won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against Schwartz haven't collected a cent.

00:43:46.300 And here he is.

00:43:47.660 He's a large Jewish man who must have a friend close to the administration because otherwise you don't get a pardon.

00:43:55.060 That's just kind of how it is.

00:43:56.420 You just assume there's some sort of connection between this guy and someone in the Trump admin and that guy called in his favor for Donald Trump, right?

00:44:03.560 Yep.

00:44:04.220 So not great, inconsistent, right?

00:44:08.020 There's favoritism, there's little insiders

00:44:10.080 who get treatment, but we're trying to crack down

00:44:12.340 on Somali fraud, but this Jewish guy who did fraud

00:44:15.020 for nursing homes, he gets pardoned, which is weird.

00:44:19.820 That is very weird.

00:44:20.900 And then something that kind of pissed me off too

00:44:23.120 was this other part, the Feeding Our Future defendant,

00:44:26.460 Abdul Abu Bakr Ali, who was involved

00:44:30.180 in the $250 million fraud, he's just gonna serve

00:44:33.400 one year in prison for his role in the fraud. And he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy

00:44:39.720 to commit wire fraud in 2022. Ali used nonprofit Youth Investors Lab to enroll in the federal

00:44:46.920 child nutrition program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future. And he claimed to serve

00:44:50.860 roughly 1.5 million meals total, but no meals were ever served. And so there's this story here.

00:44:58.720 Remarkably, both the government and the defense advocated for a probationary sentence, noting

00:45:02.620 that Ali has taken responsibility for his actions, given valuable information to investigators

00:45:06.820 and paid $92,000 in restitution so far. However, a judge stepped in and said that his role in the

00:45:12.660 fraud scheme was too great for probation. She noted that Ali recruited a friend to participate

00:45:16.980 in the scheme and completely made up meal counts rather than just exaggerating him.

00:45:20.440 That's what I was going to say. Like if you have a hundred people and you go,

00:45:23.060 oh, 125 people came by today. My thumb's on the scale.

00:45:26.880 There's zero people. There's no bread. There's no sandwiches.

00:45:29.840 Nothing.

00:45:30.300 It's just an empty little strip mall office with like nothing and it's not open and you're taking in all the money.

00:45:36.520 Just numbers on a spreadsheet, right?

00:45:38.000 And so this guy got a light sentence.

00:45:40.020 And, you know, who's to say if he got all $250 million, that's kind of the headline of it.

00:45:44.800 But like if you were to ask me, hey, do you want to go to jail for a year and you get $250 million?

00:45:51.940 That's like something you watch at 1 a.m. on TikTok and you go, yeah, I would.

00:45:56.920 It'd be tough, but I'd do it.

00:45:58.320 I go to jail for a year for like 5 million.

00:46:00.800 I know.

00:46:01.540 I just, I kind of work.

00:46:03.180 I do pushups, burpees, the prison burpees with the cholos. 1.00

00:46:06.380 And they go, hey, what's up, AC?

00:46:08.100 100 burpees.

00:46:09.360 Clap it out.

00:46:10.320 Yeah.

00:46:10.640 And I'd get into my little prison gang.

00:46:12.740 And they'd say, oh, free time, time to go outside.

00:46:15.020 And I go, eh, that's okay.

00:46:16.520 I'm texting.

00:46:17.320 I'll just stay in here.

00:46:19.060 But yeah, so like this whole thing, we're getting mixed signals, right?

00:46:22.780 And this is obviously not the Trump administration.

00:46:25.360 This is Minnesota and the U.S. district courts.

00:46:28.320 but um you know a year for 250 million you should go to jail for 10 lifetimes like there there

00:46:35.620 should be like oh yeah you're there's no way you're getting out 250 mil uh and then this weird

00:46:40.400 jewish uh fraudster fraudster he gets pardoned so there's some good and some bad man we're either 1.00

00:46:46.920 all in or or we're doing a mixed message and not a lot of justice yeah which is like the whole

00:46:52.680 wasn't that the whole that's what everyone's hungry for yeah the whole theme was like justice

00:46:57.200 and everyone's going to get locked up.

00:46:59.100 There's some badass boomer memes.

00:47:00.540 Justice is coming.

00:47:01.620 Vengeance is coming.

00:47:02.820 And it's, I don't know, you pardon that guy?

00:47:05.220 Drain the swamp.

00:47:06.240 That was all the energy and now it's just gone.

00:47:08.320 And then it's really going to lighten up before midterms.

00:47:11.100 We're not going to do deportations now

00:47:12.780 because midterms are so close.

00:47:14.600 And we'll probably lose the midterms

00:47:16.760 and have a lame duck president. 0.99

00:47:18.260 And then we'll all go to jail in 2028. 0.78

00:47:20.740 Yeah.

00:47:21.080 See you later.

00:47:22.520 I'll be fine with it.

00:47:23.680 Yeah.

00:47:24.140 We had a good run.

00:47:24.940 Yeah.

00:47:25.540 We had fun.

00:47:26.480 All right.

00:47:26.800 We're moving on to our migrant section.

00:47:28.680 Our first story from our migrant section is an update from our last episode.

00:47:32.340 We talked about the girl Sheridan Gorman who was killed at Loyola by an illegal.

00:47:37.640 And we have some more information about who this illegal is and where he's from and what his brain looks like.

00:47:42.560 Jose Medina Medina, the 26-year-old Venezuelan man accused of killing 18-year-old Loyola student Sheridan Gorman in cold blood,

00:47:49.780 was robbed, beaten, and shot in the head in 2018 in South America.

00:47:54.240 There's bullet fragments in his brain and a portion of his skull is missing.

00:47:59.060 He is now developmentally delayed, has the education of a seven-year-old, and can't read and write.

00:48:05.240 Prosecutors say they have overwhelming evidence of his guilt, video that shows him in a mask, gloves, and dark clothes, hiding behind a lighthouse on Lake Michigan, and shooting Gorman in the back, killing her almost instantly.

00:48:14.580 He had no connection whatsoever to Gorman.

00:48:16.400 And so just like when you hear about a violent crime like this, you go, oh, God, wasn't worth it.

00:48:22.880 These people are animals.

00:48:24.160 But then to find out he's a half a brain gunshot victim, can't read seven year old. 0.95

00:48:29.780 And he's wearing all black, hiding out behind the lighthouse with a gun.

00:48:33.360 It makes it so much worse that like you don't hate these politicians and the people who aren't fulfilling the deportation orders enough.

00:48:41.900 This is a guy who could have been rounded up in this administration.

00:48:45.780 You know what I mean?

00:48:46.400 We're almost getting to the point where, oh, yeah, like we've always said, these Biden migrants, they're going to commit crimes later, right? 0.87

00:48:53.840 But now if you're a year and a half or what are we, a year and some change into this term, I don't know. 0.81

00:49:01.380 Can you blame Joe Biden or the half-ahead seven-year-old retard guy? 1.00

00:49:06.760 Should we have gotten him?

00:49:08.520 We're getting into coin toss territory on whose fault it was, right?

00:49:12.360 Yeah.

00:49:12.740 So obviously it's way more Joe Biden's fault.

00:49:16.000 But we've had a year.

00:49:18.020 This guy's been lingering in Chicago.

00:49:19.760 Sanctuary City.

00:49:20.580 Thanks, Brandon Johnson. 1.00

00:49:21.760 Yeah, but we need him here because fuck Trump. 1.00

00:49:24.320 He's racist, no kings. 1.00

00:49:26.260 Yeah, this guy can't read. 1.00

00:49:27.940 He's a seven-year-old, half a head. 0.94

00:49:29.400 He's got a gun.

00:49:30.140 It's like a guy you would do this to,

00:49:31.960 like if he was on the bus next to you.

00:49:33.580 You would like tense up and like move your purse.

00:49:36.060 Yeah.

00:49:36.420 But for some reason, he's got to stay, right?

00:49:38.540 All right, this next clip,

00:49:39.580 this illegal was caught drunk driving

00:49:41.560 and then he escaped.

00:49:42.720 And wait till you see what happens at the end. 1.00

00:49:45.580 Oh, hammer the fuck man guys guys come to the side come to the side I was 1.00

00:49:56.260 calling him from before that even happened to you guys we almost killed 1.00

00:49:59.320 like 14 fucking people yo come to the side of the road before you get here we 0.99

00:50:03.800 passed exit six maybe half a mile ago what do you mean where bro 0.99

00:50:15.580 yo come here hey hey so he gets back in the truck and he drives off this guy's 0.98

00:50:22.300 black the fuck out 1.00

00:50:25.620 hey he's leaving he's leaving let's go I'm telling you he crashed yup he fucking 1.00

00:50:31.940 crashed 0.99

00:50:32.940 look at the van look at the van look at the van holy shit bro look at this piece of 0.99

00:50:39.340 He hit another car, too. 0.99

00:50:41.420 Bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro.

00:50:45.220 Is everybody good?

00:50:46.160 Yes.

00:50:46.740 Where's the guy? 1.00

00:50:48.280 Where's that fucking piece of shit? 1.00

00:50:49.560 Is he in the car? 1.00

00:50:51.120 Dude, look at this. 0.99

00:50:53.360 Of course, after 30 fucking minutes, the cops show up. 1.00

00:50:56.400 Crazy. 0.99

00:50:57.080 So he got away and then crashed like two minutes later and ruined how many people's days,

00:51:02.000 maybe their lives, maybe they are injured.

00:51:03.660 Yeah.

00:51:04.080 Give a guy, give a 45-year-old man a concussion and some neck pain for life?

00:51:08.020 Thanks.

00:51:08.680 Destroy his work van.

00:51:09.880 Yeah, hope the Modellos were worth it, brother.

00:51:11.940 And, you know, that's the type of person who, I don't know, questionable migration status.

00:51:16.820 But we've been bringing up this point before, like a migrant who's here illegally on a DUI with a car that's not in his name and a free pass to go back home to Mexico.

00:51:27.480 What's his incentive to stay at the scene and do the responsible thing, right?

00:51:31.080 It's the right thing to do.

00:51:32.380 Yeah, well, even though I'm using a fake license and a car that's not registered to my name, and I have family waiting for me in Mexico, I'm going to face the consequences here like a man. 0.96

00:51:43.580 They all do that.

00:51:45.460 Accountability.

00:51:46.160 They're honorable, right?

00:51:47.580 Yeah.

00:51:48.100 Well, let's get to our next section.

00:51:49.380 This is what we mentioned in the intro.

00:51:51.040 Where have all the teenagers' jobs gone?

00:51:53.680 There was an article from BBC News.

00:51:55.340 Yeah, this was about the UK, but it can be applied to any Western country facing the same things that all Western countries are facing, which is unfettered migration and lower birth rates.

00:52:05.760 Where have weekend jobs for teenagers gone?

00:52:08.200 And they use a picture of a girl named Megan who's trying to find a part-time job, and she's been unable to.

00:52:13.540 Well, here's a clue.

00:52:14.640 Yeah.

00:52:15.440 Indian people and migrants.

00:52:17.000 Yes, yes.

00:52:17.960 They are all over the place taking entry-level jobs.

00:52:20.640 And we wanted to kind of compare and contrast it with Chick-fil-A or Culver's, those types of places that are explicitly good at customer service where it's all white teenagers. 1.00

00:52:33.160 It's interesting.

00:52:34.220 They're mostly white teenagers and they run a clean shop and it's awesome.

00:52:38.700 And somebody said everybody talks about Chick-fil-A's service efficiency but never mentions that they almost exclusively hire American teenagers and not random foreigners.

00:52:46.680 And that's the key because besides Chick-fil-A and a few others, maybe In-N-Out, you're basically just dealing with people who are speaky-sponny.

00:52:55.460 Yeah.

00:52:56.080 It's all speaky-sponny jobs. 0.89

00:52:57.500 And if I say something to a Chick-fil-A white teenager and I go, hey, I like extra pickles and not just like extra pickles.

00:53:05.420 I go crazy on pickles. 0.73

00:53:07.440 They'll write a note or something and say crazy on pickles and you'll get a pickle pile at the bottom of your thing even though that's disgusting and I just use it as an example.

00:53:14.920 Like the guy will make sure it happens.

00:53:16.300 They'll go crazy. But then you go to like a Wendy's where they hire Mexicans or people who 1.00

00:53:22.720 are fresh off the boat or the border jumping. You'll get like some sort of fat Hispanic woman 1.00

00:53:28.600 and you'll make a request and she'll go, okay, you're speaking English. She's speaking broken 0.98

00:53:33.300 English. And then she has to translate it to her computer, her little point of sale system. And

00:53:37.620 she'll do something like, it's not letting me do that. And then stare at you with that third 1.00

00:53:43.040 world stare, right? Computer won't let me. And then that's the end of it. You go, okay, that's

00:53:47.320 it. I can't, I'm not going to spend 15 minutes trying to talk to you. Uh, it's not letting me

00:53:51.700 do it. It's the quote that keeps coming to my mind. So you can't have it your way anymore,

00:53:55.620 but yeah, so this is kind of sad. And, uh, you know, these are coming of age things for kids

00:54:01.040 too. And another thing we've talked about on the show, migrants who are coming in to do blue collar 0.97

00:54:07.560 work are depressing wages, taking jobs like a roofer job or whatever, or driving wages down.

00:54:12.400 And then they're taking all the entry-level pickup trucks that a high schooler would have been able to buy for $4,000 and then like do a little work on.

00:54:19.380 That's so true.

00:54:20.140 So they're taking – so migrants are – we often talk about how they're competing with black people in America and how black people vote 90-10 Democrat even though they're flooding the country with cheap labor and it actually hurts you and drive your wages down. 1.00

00:54:33.600 But they're also competing with the American teenager.

00:54:37.240 That's very true.

00:54:38.180 So it's something that's happening across the West, right?

00:54:40.660 And unfortunately, they're also competing with real jobs, too, different groups usually.

00:54:46.400 But we have some internal medicine class of 2029 picks here at Parkview Health in Indiana.

00:54:53.400 And 14 out of 15 residents in this Indiana internal medicine program are from foreign countries.

00:54:59.200 12 of the 15 are from Pakistan.

00:55:01.740 So you go, huh, did we just become a Pakistani internal medicine place?

00:55:06.300 Is someone gaming our system?

00:55:08.480 Is Pakistani famous for having a really good doctor program? 0.88

00:55:12.360 Yeah.

00:55:12.660 Hey, Mike, what's going on with all these Pakistanis? 1.00

00:55:14.760 And then you look up at Mike.

00:55:16.100 He's a Pakistani.

00:55:17.220 And Mike is short for Miksheet something.

00:55:20.720 And you go, oh, that's it.

00:55:23.060 We got a Pakistani funneling it to other Pakistanis. 0.90

00:55:25.300 And then you look around and you're the only white guy.

00:55:27.140 And then they have a meeting and they go, actually, we're going to let you go.

00:55:30.300 Yeah.

00:55:30.680 We have a severance package.

00:55:31.780 And we have another example of that same thing.

00:55:35.600 What is this hospital?

00:55:36.700 St. Vincent.

00:55:37.820 St. Vincent Hospital, look at it.

00:55:39.560 It's all Indians. 0.95

00:55:40.340 Yeah, yeah. 0.51

00:55:41.860 Pretty bad. 0.96

00:55:42.960 No white men. 0.88

00:55:43.980 So that's frustrating.

00:55:45.140 And then we have another example from 60 Minutes

00:55:47.540 talking about like shipyard jobs

00:55:49.460 and who those are going to.

00:55:50.840 So we'll give you the headline

00:55:52.000 and then we'll tell you the context.

00:55:53.760 Yeah, this was from 60 Minutes, I think, too, last week.

00:55:57.380 Shipyards desperately need welders, pipe fitters,

00:56:00.080 and other skilled workers.

00:56:01.580 But this work is grueling and dangerous.

00:56:03.580 Making it seem like, oh, Americans don't want to do it.

00:56:06.060 Yeah.

00:56:06.260 And we have the context here is what's really going on.

00:56:09.340 Need high-skill workers for a dangerous job.

00:56:11.380 Set wages unreasonably low, lower than Starbucks.

00:56:14.320 No one applies. 0.98

00:56:15.500 See, Americans are too lazy. 1.00

00:56:16.860 We have to import workers, import cheap labor and their families. 1.00

00:56:20.700 Take profit.

00:56:21.500 There you go.

00:56:22.420 Yeah.

00:56:22.960 Yeah.

00:56:23.340 It's bad.

00:56:24.460 There's a – no, we tried everything.

00:56:26.980 We just couldn't get someone for a slave price.

00:56:29.560 Guess we have to go abroad or get H-1Bs now or something.

00:56:32.020 Better bring some slaves here. 1.00

00:56:32.980 Yeah. So, you know, and the underreported side, American teenager, American teenager.

00:56:40.100 If I was a teenager, I'd go, I'd be caddying. Then you're around mostly white people at the 0.87

00:56:46.040 country club. That's a nice scene. And migrants don't know rules of golf. So they're not going 1.00

00:56:51.100 to ever be out there like handing someone a putter when they're on the tee box. The migrant 1.00

00:56:55.000 walks across your line and then, and then he goes, Oh, so sorry. Puts the bag on the green.

00:57:00.140 Yeah, the same type who would say, it's not letting me at Wendy's, is walking across your line.

00:57:08.180 He doesn't fix the divots.

00:57:09.820 That's so true.

00:57:11.120 All right, our next piece of our migrant section is about migrants getting people sick out of their street meat carts. 0.88

00:57:16.940 This story is out of San Francisco.

00:57:18.980 San Francisco's latest law could put food vendors out of business. 0.92

00:57:23.080 How long have you been selling out here?

00:57:25.980 Cinco años.

00:57:27.420 Five years.

00:57:28.060 Are you worried?

00:57:31.160 Very worried.

00:57:33.700 Several feet away from Lourdes Villegas' stand is Gabriela Carvajal, also selling tamales. 0.61

00:57:39.740 This is how she raised her children. 0.86

00:57:42.000 She has been a food vendor for 14 years.

00:57:44.860 We just want to be able to work.

00:57:47.320 San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a new law that requires vendors to change their setup to meet new health and safety requirements.

00:57:55.080 The new law requires street vendors to have a cart with a hand-washing station instead of tables.

00:58:01.500 But many street vendors tell us that's too expensive.

00:58:04.120 It can cost anywhere between $10,000 to $12,000.

00:58:06.960 So many of them have their own setup like this one.

00:58:10.040 Food vendors won't be allowed to cook at home anymore.

00:58:13.120 Leila Ovando, a professional chef and director of food access and equity at the nonprofit Nuestra Causa,

00:58:19.360 is helping this community but knows the new cost will force many off the streets,

00:58:24.340 even though many so we get it and basically they have to cook in a kitchen that was the part that

00:58:28.880 we kind of a rented kitchen space they can't cook at home they need a cart with a hand washing 0.99

00:58:32.920 station some other little requirements like the bare minimum of street meat requirements to be

00:58:37.440 honest yeah and they did 88 inspections and they found 60 had health violations health code

00:58:43.960 violations and here's a picture of some bacon wrapped tacos sitting in the sun or hot dogs

00:58:49.120 Sorry. Sitting in the sun. Yeah. Home homemade hot dogs kept in home bathtubs. Just kind of not really good practices.

00:58:59.360 And this picture, they have mold on some of the hot dogs. And to be fair, the mold cooks off.

00:59:03.960 Yeah, that'll cook off. That's that's in the first 30 seconds of cooking. 0.98

00:59:07.440 But there's this weird thing that I'm noticing. We we covered the San Francisco getting those BART new anti street rat BART gates.

00:59:16.360 and then their maintenance time

00:59:18.100 at all those BART stations went way down

00:59:20.040 and we kind of applauded.

00:59:21.100 We said, San Francisco, shocking, simple policy from you.

00:59:24.860 Now they're doing these

00:59:25.920 no more illegal street meat food vendors.

00:59:29.180 And is San Francisco kind of like the canary

00:59:32.440 who got all the way deep in the coal mine died

00:59:35.700 and now they're like, okay,

00:59:36.660 we have to really do some sensible stuff now.

00:59:39.100 We did get out of control.

00:59:41.240 I mean, it's still all the same people,

00:59:42.900 but maybe they're, maybe they're setting the, the bottom. They're marking the bottom.

00:59:48.720 Maybe. I don't know. Or maybe they're just going to replace everyone with AI robots.

00:59:53.080 Yeah. But, uh, it's very funny. And then this, this woman's been selling it for five years. 1.00

00:59:57.340 She's speaking in Spanish. She's been on our streets for five years. Hasn't learned English. 1.00

01:00:01.540 Okay. Is that something you're okay with? Is that something, is that something we should accept?

01:00:07.020 Yeah. I don't know. Tamale lady. Yeah. Hard to feel bad.

01:00:11.160 we'll move on to our next clip um a lot of the unsanitary conditions aren't surprising because

01:00:17.780 food cleanliness and food safety isn't really a third word third world value and we have an

01:00:23.080 example here of what that looks like look there's actually a dog pee right there

01:00:27.200 look at this there's a poo and she's cleaning meat 1.00

01:00:34.280 just don't stand next to the poop yeah but you can't she didn't notice there's a certain level

01:00:43.900 of not noticing or not caring it's just that's what's on the street i don't know yeah has nothing

01:00:48.540 to do with me that's over there i'm here i don't i don't get it um and then our last clip of our

01:00:54.500 migrant section is a different kind of bad food safety in this next clip uh with the train going 1.00

01:00:59.680 by the restaurant so i was gonna say you really can die for nothing in these third world countries 0.97

01:01:12.880 like you get to you get decapitated by a table launched by a train yeah for no reason lodged

01:01:18.220 against the wrong thing and like all of a sudden your instagram moment is like you asphyxiated by

01:01:23.020 positioning you know great the tabletop just cuts you in half for no reason all right uh that's the

01:01:31.540 end of our migrant section we're now moving on to our final page of housekeeping where i can say

01:01:35.960 whatever i want use the opportunity to tickle the post help us juice the algo leave a comment

01:01:40.400 comment a comment again then start yapping po box needs to be full notifications need to be on all

01:01:44.000 the episodes need to be watched okay and the length of this episode is even sent to the boys

01:01:48.280 in the group chat.

01:01:50.160 All right.

01:01:51.480 All right.

01:01:51.980 Need anything for me?

01:01:52.780 We have a very light final page,

01:01:54.760 but there is a call to action

01:01:55.960 and I want you guys to participate.

01:01:57.780 First, we're going to show

01:01:58.660 just an interesting new pet I found

01:02:00.620 who I'm going to reach out to.

01:02:02.580 I hate my features. 1.00

01:02:03.980 I hate the fuck the way I look. 1.00

01:02:05.380 I hate the way I'm is. 1.00

01:02:06.380 I don't like the fact

01:02:07.360 that I'm a male individual at all.

01:02:09.140 I don't like the, 0.99

01:02:09.720 I don't know why the fuck 0.99

01:02:10.980 I came out this way at all. 0.96

01:02:12.320 I don't like the way I'm is.

01:02:14.500 That's super sad.

01:02:15.620 And I'm going to reach out to this man

01:02:17.180 and try to help him improve his confidence.

01:02:19.240 Okay, there you go.

01:02:21.160 Good for you.

01:02:21.880 I'm going to work on that

01:02:22.920 because you shouldn't think of yourself that way.

01:02:25.020 Yeah, definitely.

01:02:26.200 Unless he's a migrant. 0.96

01:02:27.840 Well, then that's a different conversation.

01:02:30.100 You should be positive and don't hate yourself

01:02:32.140 and get back to Africa or wherever you came from. 0.56

01:02:34.500 You can save a country.

01:02:35.640 He had like a New Yorker accent or something.

01:02:37.720 Yeah.

01:02:38.180 All right, the next story is kind of a rap boy story

01:02:42.160 and I want to turn it into like an opportunity

01:02:45.260 for us to interact with the audience and make some art.

01:02:48.760 Yeah.

01:02:49.020 So you want to tell the story of what you saw

01:02:50.840 before we show the picture?

01:02:52.200 Yeah, I was driving into my apartment complex on Saturday

01:02:56.920 and we have a big parking garage

01:02:58.360 that's like five stories, right?

01:02:59.860 And you take a ramp and you go around

01:03:01.480 and it's all uphill.

01:03:02.340 You guys know parking garage, right?

01:03:03.980 So I come in and I see a scene happening in front of me

01:03:08.800 after the first turn.

01:03:10.980 And it was environmental storytelling, I'll say.

01:03:15.260 where you kind of piece together what happened, and it's obvious.

01:03:18.180 But basically, a young couple had brought a U-Haul into the parking garage,

01:03:23.780 and there's a loading dock out back, so they really shouldn't have brought it in there.

01:03:26.840 But I see the U-Haul parked in the middle of the parking garage, and it's stuck.

01:03:32.980 It hit the roof. It scraped the roof.

01:03:35.360 And it's kind of stuck, and they're fucked, and it's a young couple on a Saturday who's like, 0.98

01:03:39.980 oh, we'll get in and out. And now they're on this death march. 0.99

01:03:42.920 They got totally humiliated. The guy miscalculated, whatever. And I see the girlfriend doing this, 0.61

01:03:50.140 like just exasperated, hands on head, beleaguered, dejected, totally like, oh, this hour mission

01:03:58.520 just turned into a six hour Saturday, right? That's costing 800 bucks. And then the guy is

01:04:04.620 in athletic clothes, ready to move something. He's on his phone looking up at the roof, right?

01:04:09.420 And anybody who comes up on that scene knows exactly what happened.

01:04:13.300 It was like a modern day Renaissance painting, like multiple emotions, like anger, denial,

01:04:19.880 bargaining.

01:04:20.480 It was kind of like a crazy scene.

01:04:22.300 And I'm just sitting there in my car and I go, I'm glad that's not me, right?

01:04:27.360 Like, that's awesome.

01:04:28.540 And I drove around, there was enough room, but it kind of got me thinking I could have

01:04:33.600 taken a picture of it. And it was like a modern day American story. It was like a photograph or

01:04:40.020 a piece of art. And I thought about it painted in the style of the late, great Norman Rockwell.

01:04:45.980 He did all those Americana paintings. You know, the little kid at the ice cream counter with the

01:04:51.140 cop, the guy who stands up, who basically became a meme now in like the town hall, but great

01:04:58.540 American artist. And I said to Fleckus, I texted him and I told him about it. This, this, this is

01:05:05.380 art. It's like this snapshot right here, the dejected U-Haul guy who just made the biggest

01:05:10.300 fuck up of his month, you know? So I made one through AI that didn't do a good job. 0.81

01:05:17.260 It's not super Norman Rockwell-y. Yeah. But it still does the point.

01:05:20.720 The AI didn't do a great job, but it's max height. It's like the U-Haul. And I was like,

01:05:24.860 I would almost frame this. Like I would have this commissioned into a piece. It spoke to me. It was

01:05:30.180 like modern day art. Yeah. And I call it a reverse Norman Rockwell. Yeah. But for some reason I like

01:05:36.820 to put it in the Rockwell, but like, yeah, your bad moments or something that pisses you off,

01:05:41.740 stubbing your toe, like those types of things. And I thought like, Hey, this is art. This picture

01:05:46.320 I just saw was a snapshot of American life. It would be titled Saturday ruined or, you know,

01:05:52.900 something like that. Bad Saturday. That's yeah. And so then me and Fleckus were thinking of

01:05:58.960 what else can we rock well? What else can we morph into it? And so here's the AI of the U-Haul that

01:06:05.300 I did. And the one thing I've noticed is when you ask AI to do something, it makes everybody more

01:06:10.020 attractive. They were a more homely couple. They were not yoga shorts hottie. It was more disheveled

01:06:17.180 yoga shorts, but it captured the essence. And I don't know. Well, let's go through the other

01:06:22.800 examples. So I had my own that we tried to rock well, but I didn't really do it, but it's my big

01:06:28.280 body bends next to a migrant on a bike. The migrant was passing on a bike with a backpack and wearing

01:06:33.640 winter clothes in the summer, basically. And that's America now. You know, that's part of

01:06:37.900 America. Migrants on bikes. It's like negative Rockwell. It's America that you're not really 0.99

01:06:42.920 comfortable with it's not as idealized as the 50s and 60s but it's it's reality it happened

01:06:49.280 and then migraine on a bike next to the big body and then here's another one that uh i try i ran

01:06:54.480 through ai to get more rockwellized but this picture of a black man with his fists up about

01:07:01.100 to fight another ref with a first ref not got knocked out on the ground this is after a flag 0.99

01:07:06.440 football seven on seven game that's modern rockwell shit yeah they be fighting baby fighting 0.99

01:07:12.540 migrants on bikes, U-Haul got stuck. They'd be fighting. So I don't know. I just thought it was 1.00

01:07:18.480 funny. I saw the U-Haul couple stuck and like, I just imagine, ah, that I would hate if that was

01:07:25.280 me and it felt powerful. And I, I want to see some modern day Rockwells, you know? Yeah. So

01:07:30.180 if you guys want to make some with AI and try to make it really look like the Rockwell theme,

01:07:34.800 that would be sick. And if you send them to us on social media or email or whatever,

01:07:39.300 we'll post or we'll show the best ones on Friday.

01:07:42.680 Yeah.

01:07:43.180 And I'm looking for a real painter to paint that U-Haul one.

01:07:46.620 I kind of, that would be cool.

01:07:48.240 I like that.

01:07:49.520 So I kind of want the Big Body Benz one.

01:07:51.760 If you guys can redo the Big Body Benz.

01:07:53.160 But then you're putting up like a migrant on a bike in your house. 1.00

01:07:55.960 I'm fine with that.

01:07:56.760 And then you're kind of mad.

01:07:58.240 I'm fine with that.

01:07:59.180 If you guys can soup this one up a little bit

01:08:02.880 and make the Big Body Benz migrant bike picture rock welly and cool,

01:08:06.520 I will take that and turn it into a frame and send us your modern day Rockwells.

01:08:11.980 You have like the kids looting the 7-Elevens would be one. 0.97

01:08:15.860 Like a big fat black woman with a cart full of, you know, it's EBT. 1.00

01:08:19.640 It's all the least healthy shit. 1.00

01:08:21.160 You know, there are more modern day Rockwells and it's like, use our show for inspiration. 0.99

01:08:26.200 The non-binary priest doing a Rockwell.

01:08:29.360 Yeah.

01:08:29.680 Yeah.

01:08:29.780 You know, there's a lot.

01:08:30.700 And the EBT woman.

01:08:31.800 And then you have like a white family who's like counting coins maybe. 0.91

01:08:36.280 to like make ends meet and then you have the lady who's like got the whole cart swipe it all yep so 1.00

01:08:41.100 guys send us some rockwells i know some of you out there uh will do a really good job with this so

01:08:45.840 please send them in all right last thing of our final page was a lighter final page today but you

01:08:50.640 didn't find out till the end i don't want to ruin it that's fine i don't think anybody cares i saw

01:08:54.960 our statistics some people care i saw our statistics for the show for the last month and

01:09:00.720 0.5% of our audience is non-binary.

01:09:04.000 Thanks for showing up.

01:09:04.980 Which is like 10 people.

01:09:06.420 And I think it's probably some people doing a bit on YouTube and saying I'm non-binary.

01:09:10.240 Isn't that Spotify?

01:09:11.960 Oh, Spotify.

01:09:12.980 Yeah, you're right.

01:09:13.460 And then I think some people are maybe non-binary hate watchers who maybe like saw the non-binary

01:09:20.180 playlist clips and they saw themselves in the show.

01:09:23.080 Yeah.

01:09:23.500 And then they were like looking to see what we talked about them.

01:09:26.240 Smart.

01:09:26.560 So we're getting non-binaries in the audience, which is kind of cool. 1.00

01:09:30.840 So hello to all the non-binary show watchers. 1.00

01:09:33.060 We love you.

01:09:33.660 Thank you.

01:09:34.160 We love you.

01:09:34.700 You're the best.

01:09:35.300 You're the best.

01:09:36.260 We're on your side.

01:09:37.120 This is all a deception.

01:09:38.700 At the end, we're on your side.

01:09:40.580 All right.

01:09:40.740 Well, that's the end of housekeeping.

01:09:41.600 We're now moving on to Cringe of the Week.

01:09:46.200 All right.

01:09:47.300 Our first clip of Cringe of the Week is in Canada.

01:09:50.040 There was a Rush concert.

01:09:51.320 We can't play you the music, but on the video stream,

01:09:54.720 they had a sign language interpreter taking up half the screen.

01:10:00.120 So he's doing some lyrics at the beginning and he's really signing.

01:10:05.100 But then when the guitar solo comes in,

01:10:07.200 he just starts doing the guitar solo too,

01:10:09.360 while still taking up 30 to 40% of the screen.

01:10:12.720 And there's real drummer, real guitarists.

01:10:16.880 And this is taking up like a third of the screen.

01:10:19.420 Yeah.

01:10:20.180 And no one can hear anything anyway who's deaf. 0.99

01:10:23.160 This is how a deaf person would see this too.

01:10:25.300 This is like a deaf person. 1.00

01:10:27.700 We understand you as people who are constantly avoiding copyright music.

01:10:31.300 You know, this is how it would go.

01:10:33.300 Yeah.

01:10:33.600 So a deaf person needs to see the sign language interpreter going like this 1.00

01:10:38.040 instead of just seeing the guy on the guitar going like this.

01:10:41.400 And it's a third of the screen.

01:10:42.920 So everyone watching has to see the sign language interpreter,

01:10:46.320 which like makes actually no sense.

01:10:49.660 Yeah.

01:10:49.960 This is one of those humiliation rituals, I think.

01:10:52.420 They're humiliating all of us and saying you need to be constantly thinking about blind and deaf people while you're enjoying Rush.

01:11:00.300 And that's like the theme and that's the takeaway.

01:11:03.480 It's like some people have a disability.

01:11:05.860 So this experience needs to be ruined for everybody because not everyone can enjoy it.

01:11:10.740 So now no one can enjoy it.

01:11:11.980 It's actually like a communist thing.

01:11:13.560 And then to say, like, if there was a small change where you could unlock an additional 20% of the population to join in on something, I'd be like, all right, make the small change.

01:11:23.880 But to make a massive change like this so that someone can marginally improve this, like, just sitting there in silence, right?

01:11:35.740 Now someone's doing this to you.

01:11:37.800 It's not like the music comes out better now.

01:11:41.300 You're just getting someone yelling at you with enthusiasm.

01:11:44.420 Are deaf people watching Rush concerts?

01:11:47.060 I don't think so.

01:11:48.060 What would you do with that?

01:11:49.160 And then Rush, you know, whoever the singer is, he's got that crazy unique voice, the

01:11:53.400 fight by night, fend away from here, you know?

01:11:56.300 And so it's like, you can't even explain how the guy has a weird voice to a deaf person. 0.68

01:12:00.380 You can't even explain how, oh, they actually sound different than most rock bands and heavy.

01:12:04.580 They lean on the guitar and the vocals. 1.00

01:12:06.000 and it's like, just watch this non-binary idiot 1.00

01:12:09.300 flash around his shit. 1.00

01:12:10.660 And do deaf people like music? 1.00

01:12:13.140 I don't want to offend anybody.

01:12:14.280 They like bass or something.

01:12:15.440 Sometimes they can hear the bass

01:12:16.620 and that's basically it.

01:12:18.400 So they had to give them some twink guy to care about. 1.00

01:12:21.060 I don't know. 0.61

01:12:21.840 Crazy.

01:12:22.360 All right, speaking of twink guys, 1.00

01:12:23.720 our next clip is an interview with this couple.

01:12:27.380 One of them is, I believe, trans

01:12:29.020 and has no arms and no legs.

01:12:30.680 Yes.

01:12:31.280 And then that person is dating Adam

01:12:33.880 And they talk about their nicknames for each other.

01:12:36.720 What are some nicknames you have for each other?

01:12:39.460 The nicknames that I have for Adam are pretty foul, but they all have meanings to them.

01:12:44.120 Snot Mouth.

01:12:45.260 I get tonsil stones.

01:12:47.100 Booger Butt. 1.00

01:12:47.880 I have allergies.

01:12:48.940 Poopy Doopy.

01:12:49.880 I have IBS.

01:12:51.340 And Lexus Intolerant.

01:12:52.500 Buffy.

01:12:53.060 That one's just because I love you.

01:12:54.640 And that one's cute and endearing.

01:12:56.140 Rat Boy.

01:12:57.080 Oh, yeah.

01:12:57.920 There is Rat Boy.

01:12:59.320 We were at my parents' house, and we were getting ready to go.

01:13:02.400 And I was like, okay, Ratboy, you ready to go?

01:13:04.120 And my mom's head like slowly turned.

01:13:06.560 And she's like, did you just call him Ratboy?

01:13:09.800 And I was like, no, I mean my Prince Charming, my lover boy, let's go.

01:13:16.020 And she's like, I can't believe you just called him Ratboy.

01:13:18.500 And I was like, I called the dogs Ratgirls too.

01:13:21.640 She calls me.

01:13:22.600 Well, that's embarrassing for some of us.

01:13:24.700 For half the show, your internet name almost got ruined.

01:13:28.660 And Ratboy is the nickname and he looks exactly like you.

01:13:31.760 yeah exactly the same he's like the bizarro rat boy yeah and then like all these nicknames at

01:13:38.660 the beginning he's like offering a medical condition that goes with it like tonsil stones 0.99

01:13:44.380 allergies shit myself these people are disgusting and then he he bangs this little guy he bangs 1.00

01:13:51.760 this little limbless guy throws him around and then he calls her her smells like shit oh yeah 1.00

01:13:57.780 can't wipe can't wipe ibs tonsil stones and boogers what are these people talking about 1.00

01:14:02.880 everyone's so disgusting i know and just say something normal no just say oh i can't they 0.98

01:14:07.820 can't i call him lovey i call him baby and then it's like yeah it's still gay and bad but at least 0.99

01:14:14.040 it's understandable i call him ibs boy because he's always blowing it out i call him shit boy 0.99

01:14:18.080 because he he shits and he wipes for me because i have no hands yeah that's probably the other one 0.99

01:14:24.260 Yeah, diaper boy. 0.99

01:14:25.420 You're a diaper boy, the other one. 0.98

01:14:26.860 All right, let's move on.

01:14:27.940 There's not much substance there.

01:14:29.220 All right, moving on to our next clip in cringe.

01:14:32.380 This is a guy who does online sales training

01:14:35.420 and his technique is not my favorite.

01:14:39.120 Listen, I got your number.

01:14:40.240 If I need anything, I'll give you a call.

01:14:42.040 Most salespeople are way too scared

01:14:43.320 to do what I'm about to do with this guy.

01:14:44.640 I can't talk to you right now, I'm at work.

01:14:46.100 Okay, no worries, I'm at work too, so it'll be all good.

01:14:49.020 But I'm just gonna take a couple minutes

01:14:50.540 to ask you some questions to see

01:14:51.480 if it's something that you even need

01:14:52.440 and we'll finish up later on.

01:14:53.920 Ryan, you don't have a couple of minutes. I'm at work.

01:14:55.640 Okay. Well, it'll just be 30 seconds. But what time do you and YDNA normally get home from work?

01:14:59.980 Different times. Listen, I got your number. If I need anything, I'll give you a call.

01:15:03.260 It don't really work like that. I don't answer inbound calls. I'm pretty much busy all day.

01:15:07.260 What time would be better to get back with you later?

01:15:09.020 I have your number and I'll call you by need.

01:15:10.800 Okay. I'm telling you, I won't be able to answer. Is this coverage something that's important to you?

01:15:14.600 Never change your process to fit the client. Always make the client fit your process because

01:15:19.620 you're losing control of the deals. The reality is if he gets to dictate when the daytime, how

01:15:24.140 the appointment goes down, he's in control. And if our clients are in control, we're never going

01:15:27.700 to close the deals. The control is the most important thing you have. So if they won't give

01:15:31.280 up control, get off the phone, find somebody else to invest your time in because you're never going

01:15:35.640 to help those people. So you're cold calling strangers with a big business opportunity that

01:15:41.080 you want to give away to a stranger on the phone. Yeah. Sucker born every minute, right?

01:15:47.180 Yeah, and like the techniques they're using,

01:15:49.380 and you guys have probably seen it

01:15:50.340 with the door-to-door people,

01:15:51.740 it's not so much sales techniques

01:15:53.420 as it is like social manipulation

01:15:55.920 and like making you feel guilty

01:15:57.880 and not taking no for an answer.

01:15:59.660 Yeah, it's not product demo

01:16:01.300 and then, wow, I have a need for that.

01:16:03.700 This is amazing.

01:16:04.580 I've been waiting for it.

01:16:05.500 It's like manipulating an elderly woman 1.00

01:16:07.400 who's uncomfortable at the door.

01:16:09.760 And she keeps saying no.

01:16:11.440 And then they say, well,

01:16:12.760 I know that price doesn't work for you,

01:16:14.240 but my truck's already here

01:16:15.780 and we'll take the fee off for traveling to your location

01:16:19.160 because we're here already helping Susie in the blue house.

01:16:21.500 And you say, no, and they go, all right, we'll give you 20% off.

01:16:24.240 Then you say, no, and they go, all right, my boss is going to get mad,

01:16:28.240 but we'll give you a first month free.

01:16:29.900 And it's like, that's what you have to do to get out of it.

01:16:32.140 You have to acknowledge it.

01:16:33.380 You have to say, hey, brother, I've seen the sales training TikToks too.

01:16:37.100 I know you're going to have a call to urgency and a convenience factor.

01:16:41.500 I know you're not going to take no for an answer.

01:16:43.380 or before you even say anything to me,

01:16:45.500 whatever you're selling, no matter what it is,

01:16:47.260 it's just no, please move on.

01:16:48.760 And you have to acknowledge the tactics.

01:16:50.400 I've seen the TikToks.

01:16:51.560 I know what you're going to try to do.

01:16:53.620 Just please know.

01:16:56.200 That's kind of what I do when they come.

01:16:58.960 Or if you're the homeowner, say, oh, I'm a renter.

01:17:02.020 I don't make the decisions around here.

01:17:03.660 If you're a homeowner, just say, I'm the renter.

01:17:05.920 And if, oh, this is for renters.

01:17:07.280 I'm actually the homeowner, switch.

01:17:09.880 But yeah, these sales techniques,

01:17:11.120 it feels like we're getting into a world

01:17:12.800 where it's more just like finding someone who you can bully

01:17:16.760 than it is finding someone who needs the product.

01:17:19.480 That's kind of what the vibe I'm getting

01:17:20.980 from all the sales techniques.

01:17:22.740 Now, it all started with Andy Elliott and the car sales,

01:17:26.240 you know, and it's all the same energy.

01:17:28.040 They get a little closer to you.

01:17:29.300 Now, what needs do you have?

01:17:31.680 Oh, that's perfect.

01:17:32.460 I can tell you're all about it.

01:17:33.680 And it's all this, it's becoming scammier and scammier

01:17:36.740 and people are selling worse and worse products,

01:17:38.340 it seems like.

01:17:39.320 That's how it is when they've come to my door

01:17:41.100 and it's like, oh no, sorry.

01:17:42.500 I'm a renter.

01:17:43.160 And he started closing the door.

01:17:43.920 Well, that's okay.

01:17:45.740 When's your lease up?

01:17:46.480 Where are you going to move next?

01:17:47.320 And it's like, I don't know yet.

01:17:49.300 Didn't you buy something from someone recently, though? 0.99

01:17:51.340 Aren't you kind of a sucker not following your own advice? 0.99

01:17:53.420 A little bit. 0.99

01:17:54.720 What did you have him do?

01:17:56.240 It was T-Mobile buried Wi-Fi.

01:17:59.660 And he told me it's hurricane proof because the wires are underground instead of up in the sky.

01:18:05.020 And I said, all right, I actually do need that.

01:18:07.060 And the speed was like 10 times faster than what we had.

01:18:09.540 Remember, we used to transfer the show for editing.

01:18:11.840 it would take like an hour and a half. Now it takes like five minutes. So it ends up being a

01:18:15.660 good deal. And I told the guy, I was like, brother, for your sale, every person whose house you knock

01:18:21.560 on and you talk to the people, tell them this is hurricane proof wifi. That's what everyone wants

01:18:26.660 to hear. Like that's your number one line. Hurricane season's coming. The wifi will never

01:18:31.100 go out. Even if your power is out, that's your number one. The power will be out, but you'll

01:18:34.920 still have wifi if you've got a generator. So that's that. And then in that same vein of the

01:18:40.420 online salespeople. I saw this tweet, which kind of is under the same umbrella. The guru,

01:18:44.900 the, the, the too young without accomplishing anything, but I'm a guru.

01:18:49.560 Uh, I have a secret to share after your first two to $3 million, a paid off home and a good car.

01:18:54.480 There is no difference in quality of life between you and Jeff Bezos. Both of you have limited

01:18:59.320 amount of time on earth. You have twice, if not more than Jeff. So you are richer than him.

01:19:04.180 A cheeseburger is a cheeseburger, whether a billionaire eats it or you do money is nothing

01:19:08.260 but a piece of paper or a number in your app.

01:19:10.460 Real life is outdoors.

01:19:12.040 Become financially independent.

01:19:13.620 That's usually two to three mil.

01:19:15.500 Have good food, enjoy the relations,

01:19:17.440 work out, sleep well, call your parents.

01:19:18.980 That's all there is to life.

01:19:20.380 Greed has no ends.

01:19:21.700 Repeat after me, time is the currency of life.

01:19:23.780 Money is not.

01:19:24.840 Sooner you figure this out, the happier you'll be.

01:19:26.880 So there is some truth to that.

01:19:28.860 Yeah, there's a baseline level of,

01:19:30.820 yeah, you're your own boss. 1.00

01:19:31.880 It's fuck you. 1.00

01:19:32.440 You can tell everybody I'm not coming in. 1.00

01:19:34.480 Being rich means like you have your own schedule

01:19:37.060 and time to yourself and money if you want it.

01:19:39.840 But just because you have two million bucks

01:19:42.540 does not mean you live in the same life as Jeff Bezos.

01:19:44.480 I think Jeff Bezos moved a historic bridge

01:19:47.520 to get his yacht out of some boat thing.

01:19:50.700 And I think these super rich people

01:19:52.480 have levels of extravagance and wealth

01:19:55.300 that they try to hide from us.

01:19:58.780 They don't even want to reveal 0.99

01:20:01.220 some of the shit they're up to. 0.99

01:20:02.540 It's so fucking good. 1.00

01:20:03.540 Jeff Bezos takes a yacht to get to the actual yacht. 0.96

01:20:07.060 Yeah. They call it a tender, right? Or whatever the boat is. And it's like bigger than a yacht

01:20:11.280 that you've ever been on. And like, you know, he'll go to a restaurant, the same restaurant

01:20:15.720 as you, but he'll get dropped off at the door. He'll walk right past the staff without even

01:20:21.080 looking at them. Go to the best table. Bulletproof SUV. Bulletproof SUV. And he'll order the whole

01:20:26.760 menu and maybe just walk out. Yeah. It's a little different. And he picks at it. He picks

01:20:31.780 at it. You're Jeff Bezos, brother. The burger Bezos has access to, you don't even know what

01:20:36.740 the fuck you'd be tasting. You'd go home. They massage it. Yeah. They massage it. Zuckerberg's 0.99

01:20:42.240 raising his own cattle. Yeah. There, there's a certain, Hey, there is a certain truth. Two or

01:20:47.380 3 million. You're free, but you're not. Don't compare it to Bezos. Don't bring up Bezos.

01:20:52.140 A hundred billion dollars. It's the same thing. Here's how you get a sale. He hangs up on you.

01:20:57.700 Two or 3 million is the same as Bezos. Bezos does something so insane. You've never even heard of

01:21:02.380 it. Yeah. It's pretty good. He's got caviar. You don't even know about. All right. Well,

01:21:06.740 that's the end of cringe. Moving on to urban decay. We did not get to our improv clip. Like

01:21:11.240 we mentioned in the intro. Um, but we will get to that on Friday. We're going to bump that to

01:21:15.920 Friday. So sorry to lead you guys on. Um, but we are now moving on to urban decay. All right.

01:21:23.280 Our first clip from urban decay is a man who is cold plunging in Seattle. Here we go. Ow,

01:21:30.500 ow ow what the hell is that ow ow what the hell dude dude what is get it out hyperdermic needle 0.85

01:21:40.540 or hypodermic is that what it's called yeah something like that street rat needle and then

01:21:44.960 now the uh looks maxing guys and the peptide boys and the ozempic people are going to start

01:21:50.100 discarding their needles just like drug addicts it's a whirlwind but since it's seattle i'm going

01:21:55.140 to go with drug addicts. It's crazy that the homeless drug addicts didn't dispose of the

01:22:00.780 free needles the Democrats gave them into the designated boxes. They just shot up the fent

01:22:05.820 and for some reason just dropped it on the ground. You'd think they'd be more responsible after they

01:22:11.600 got the needles for free, but I guess you can take a drug addict out of the streets, but you can't

01:22:16.500 take the streets out of a drug addict sort of thing. Yeah. And when you're planning, it's like,

01:22:20.280 well, how many needles do we need to give away? A lot. It's like, how many needles do we need to

01:22:24.320 account for the receptacle boxes, 5%.

01:22:27.960 20%.

01:22:28.760 Yeah, I was going to say be generous.

01:22:30.760 They'll take them.

01:22:31.940 They won't return them.

01:22:32.820 Well, all those Starbucks stores already added the disposal bins in their bathrooms after

01:22:36.900 people were fainting and passing out.

01:22:38.860 So yeah, take a little less, but yep, that's the experience.

01:22:42.420 And then you got to go to a doctor, get HPV or what is it?

01:22:46.680 Hepatitis, A, C, HIV.

01:22:49.440 You got to get all these tests.

01:22:50.780 You got months of assignments after this.

01:22:52.440 You might have something.

01:22:53.360 Yeah.

01:22:53.460 All right. Next, we have a story about a San Francisco judge who let out a violent repeat

01:22:58.440 offender, and we have a clip of what he did. Yeah, this is a follow-up because we covered

01:23:02.800 this on the show. San Francisco judge Linda Colfax just released a man who fatally assaulted

01:23:07.280 an 84-year-old because the prison sentence would have a, quote, poor impact on him.

01:23:12.140 And we're going to refresh your memory by playing this clip right now. There is boom.

01:23:16.960 Blowing it up an 84-year-old for no reason. This guy, like, rampaged on an 84-year-old,

01:23:21.660 like ran at him like a middle linebacker guy hits his head on the pavement and he doesn't even do

01:23:26.840 anything with it um but here's some commentary the family of vitro tanapati is not happy about

01:23:33.620 this sentence and they are especially critical of the judge who oversaw this trial they say that

01:23:40.240 judge linda colfax unfairly kept some details of watson's prior juvenile record from the jury

01:23:45.380 but then considered his successful completion of juvenile probation in her sentencing decision

01:23:50.540 today. Because of technicalities in the law, she decided to focus on one of the charges he was

01:23:55.580 convicted of, assault causing great bodily injury, carrying a three-year sentence. That's because the

01:24:01.200 jury also found that when Antoine Watson violently attacked Mitra Tanapakti on January 28th, 2021,

01:24:08.520 they also found him guilty of two enhancements on that charge. Judge Koufax says the law allows

01:24:14.220 an additional five years for those enhancements. Because Watson has already served five years in

01:24:20.400 jail and then earned additional credit for time served for good behavior, she decided instead of

01:24:25.720 sending him to prison for two more years, what's left of the sentence, she instead granted him

01:24:30.620 probation. The judge already had in mind what she was going to do, in my opinion, and they just 0.92

01:24:36.800 carried it out. And her and the defense worked very well together. And it's all because prison

01:24:47.100 would have had a poor impact on the criminal.

01:24:50.200 And it's weird because why in a trial

01:24:52.600 would you feel bad for the criminal and not the victim?

01:24:55.700 Yeah, and that quote at the end there where he says,

01:24:58.980 her and the defense worked really well together.

01:25:02.080 That's what you say when you're absolutely shell-shocked,

01:25:04.540 just got smoked, the worst news ever.

01:25:07.820 And that's all you can say.

01:25:09.160 It's like, if you don't have anything nice to say,

01:25:10.500 don't say it at all.

01:25:11.680 It's like, well, her and the defense

01:25:13.600 worked really well together.

01:25:14.980 They got along great.

01:25:17.100 And there was a really key part in this, too, where when we say judges are kind of like, there's all these parameters, like a minimum sentence or this, and then these levers that they can pull to make it aggravating or mitigating, right?

01:25:30.780 And, like, make the sentence or whatever.

01:25:32.020 And the key sentence from that earlier is she hid a juvenile record from the jury so the jury doesn't get prejudiced against him or whatever.

01:25:43.420 But then she herself used it as justification for reducing his sentence, that he had completed some sort of punishment.

01:25:50.800 And so that's like a perfect example of the two-way go that they have.

01:25:55.200 Like they don't prejudice the jury, but they let it prejudice themselves. 1.00

01:26:00.580 It's a very fucked up world. 0.99

01:26:02.380 And this guy, it's not like he got let out on probation. 1.00

01:26:04.740 He had been in jail since the event.

01:26:07.000 And then they basically said time served at this sentencing hearing.

01:26:10.300 Crazy.

01:26:10.560 And we've told you guys about the electric shock experiments where there's people playing

01:26:15.780 a game and then they shock both people who are in the game.

01:26:20.100 Cheaters.

01:26:20.720 Whether you're cheating or follow the rules, they shock both people.

01:26:23.700 And then people watching, men and women, both feel bad.

01:26:27.000 But then when a cheater in the game gets shocked, the male brain lights up in a positive way

01:26:32.960 like he deserves it and that's okay.

01:26:34.720 And the female brain lights up in the same way they did for the innocent person being 1.00

01:26:38.900 shocked where they would feel bad for the person being shocked whether or not they deserved it yes

01:26:43.020 and that is why women shouldn't be judges i agree i agree oh i feel bad like this guy it's like he 0.99

01:26:50.700 just blew up an 84 year old and he's been doing bad shit for the last 10 years yeah this guy's 0.98

01:26:54.700 fucked and they still side with him because you feel bad because you're out of your natural element 0.99

01:27:00.660 you shouldn't be a judge and this is one of our guys this is a guy who we're gonna follow now 0.99

01:27:05.040 You know, like he's next one up. Yeah, he's up again. And this these type of guys, they keep coming back. Right. You'll see him in a headline soon. And hopefully it's not for someone who's dead again.

01:27:17.400 Yep. And our next clip is the same energy as that female judge. This girl bails out a criminal who got arrested for stealing just a few dollars worth of stuff. 1.00

01:27:26.740 I just paid a $1,000 bail for somebody who was arrested on a misdemeanor of theft of merchandise less than $1,000, and this person stole a pack of Oreo Minis, a bar of Zest Soap, and a brand new jar of petroleum jelly.

01:27:41.820 The items taken from the business were valued at $3.80.

01:27:49.000 The bail I just paid was $1,000 for theft of necessities totaling $3.80.

01:28:00.920 Are we safe yet?

01:28:03.040 This person thinks they're a good person and her instincts in order to do something good for the community

01:28:08.940 were to pay money to have criminals taken out of prison.

01:28:12.820 You've freed a repeat offender thief

01:28:14.800 who doesn't have $100

01:28:16.320 or a person in his life who has $100

01:28:19.120 to pay the 10% needed for the bail.

01:28:21.540 Yeah, and she thinks it's some sort of gotcha.

01:28:24.920 Oh, this is dystopian, late stage capitalism or something. 0.96

01:28:28.140 It's like, this guy's just a street rat. 0.89

01:28:30.220 He does his shopping by stealing. 0.93

01:28:32.240 When the same place he steals from every single day calls,

01:28:36.280 yeah, they're gonna take him away.

01:28:38.120 And these people think of money as like something that some people have and some people just don't.

01:28:44.480 And say his bail was $1,000 and you have to pay 10%, that's $100.

01:28:49.020 That's what we're assuming.

01:28:50.640 Otherwise, it would have been $10,000 and you have to pay $1,000, right?

01:28:53.740 But either way, it's not an insane amount of money.

01:28:56.880 But some people think of money as like this thing.

01:29:00.360 Some people have it, some people don't.

01:29:02.200 Instead of a representation of like your ability to move about the world in a way that is 5% planning, 10% you doing something positive, and then the rest of the percent just being normal, right?

01:29:16.940 Like money is not like – I'm not pulling out my pockets and going, oh, geez, turn them inside out and I'm broke.

01:29:23.720 Money is like I have a job and I showed up yesterday and I showed up the week before that and then this all compounds, right?

01:29:31.520 As opposed to just, oh, I'm broke.

01:29:34.360 Society did this to me, you know?

01:29:36.780 There's kind of like money is a representation

01:29:39.180 of your character and your place in time for right now.

01:29:42.060 And a lot of times that can get briefly out of whack.

01:29:45.400 Like, hey, I'm a really good guy and I work hard,

01:29:47.500 but I just got out of law school

01:29:48.740 and money's really bad right now. 0.97

01:29:51.200 Or, dude, I fucking, I gambled on an options play 0.93

01:29:55.540 and I, look at this, I'm up from here. 0.97

01:29:58.120 you know like it can get out of whack from where it should be but the guy who never has a hundred

01:30:03.080 dollars is never going to have a hundred dollars he's a street rat stealing from everywhere it's

01:30:06.960 a real character indictment yeah you never have a hundred dollars you're never gonna have a hundred

01:30:11.100 dollars and then no one in your network has a hundred dollars because you've used up all your

01:30:14.960 favors from that at work you've let them down 15 times every homeless person has a whole family of

01:30:20.560 people who gave them eight chances usually you know for the most part and then you stole from

01:30:25.380 for those drugs. And we had to kick you out. We had to cut you off. Yeah. So, um, but liberal

01:30:30.680 woman in quirky glasses thinks it's an indictment of the criminal justice system. That guy's just 0.95

01:30:35.940 fucked. And we, and we don't really have anywhere to put people like that. Yeah. It's jail or that's 1.00

01:30:41.900 it. Cause you guys got rid of all the insane asylums and shit. Yeah. And that girl thinks 1.00

01:30:45.880 she's a good person. Maybe for your next random act of kindness, you can let some of the air out

01:30:50.460 the school bus tires good luck that'd be good right yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna remove that arm

01:30:56.440 that stop sign on the bus too i'm gonna make these kids figure out something hard right

01:31:00.660 yeah all right let's move on to our next clip is a fat woman at the pool on our dollar and this 1.00

01:31:07.740 ain't even our pool ain't even our apartment complex but we still gonna be here thank you

01:31:12.740 it's not our pool it's not our apartment complex but we still fit to be here

01:31:19.600 she said as she mouth-breathed. 0.76

01:31:21.580 We ain't got no job.

01:31:23.200 We ain't got school. 0.69

01:31:25.120 We ain't got shit to do. 0.94

01:31:34.400 Hold on, I gotta get jiggy. 0.79

01:31:35.700 Hold on.

01:31:37.040 All right, she's bouncing around 0.97

01:31:38.860 and our tax dollars freed her up 1.00

01:31:41.240 so she could enjoy a pool day.

01:31:42.880 No job, no school.

01:31:44.140 And isn't that ironic

01:31:44.960 that you might be a taxpayer

01:31:47.620 who's paying for this woman 1.00

01:31:49.380 to have kids on the on the federal money and then she doesn't have to struggle because she's on the 1.00

01:31:56.460 government teat and because she doesn't have to struggle now she at your pool so you freed her up 1.00

01:32:03.220 you propped her up and now she's annoying you like it's full circle you've fully funded her life and 0.88

01:32:09.160 now she bothering you at your pool that's so good and then like normal people who want to have like 0.95

01:32:14.080 a pool day with their kids probably need to wait till saturday or sunday yeah probably need to

01:32:18.420 wait till dad gets home from work. And then it's an amenity on the apartment. So you're paying

01:32:22.900 $2,800 instead of $2,550. You know, like all these little decisions for you to have access

01:32:28.480 to a pool and big mama's house, she comes in and just blows it out. It's so good. 0.91

01:32:33.600 Probably litters too. She definitely does. She leashes shit around. 1.00

01:32:36.560 Cocoa butter in the pool. Oh yeah. It comes off oily, greasy. Smells. She gets money for free, 1.00

01:32:42.060 housing for free, food for free. And now her life is a vacation.

01:32:45.200 And a pool for free.

01:32:46.260 Yep.

01:32:46.600 That's pretty good.

01:32:47.540 And that's what I'm tired of.

01:32:49.200 Me too.

01:32:49.920 That is the American dream for some people.

01:32:52.100 There's a certain person born on MLK, you know, you know, born on third base, that phrase.

01:32:57.720 There's another phrase born on MLK Boulevard.

01:33:01.020 And that's like the American dream. 0.99

01:33:03.060 There is, there's a different version of person out there who doesn't want to work hard and get their shit. 1.00

01:33:07.940 They just want to get on all the free shit. 1.00

01:33:09.840 And then that's a dream for some people. 1.00

01:33:12.180 That's the hack.

01:33:12.600 Yeah.

01:33:13.180 Pretty good.

01:33:13.940 All right.

01:33:14.160 Our last section of Urban Decay is bad customer service.

01:33:18.200 We're going to start with some DoorDash clips of DoorDashers stealing people's food. 0.98

01:33:23.680 Or maybe this guy's just a normal guy stealing a DoorDash.

01:33:26.500 This guy might just be your neighbor.

01:33:29.220 Yeah. 1.00

01:33:29.580 So he sees the food and then pulls a little move and his fat ass and love handles are 1.00

01:33:34.360 all jiggling. 1.00

01:33:35.000 And you see how he tried to sneak as if like, who is that big back right there? 1.00

01:33:39.580 The wide angle lens wouldn't pick up your fat 350 pound ass. 1.00

01:33:43.200 Yep. 1.00

01:33:43.320 And you might see that and say, eh, there's a lack of creativity, no planning ahead.

01:33:47.960 With that guy, it wasn't very, like, much of an op.

01:33:51.600 It was kind of just, like, take it and run. 0.99

01:33:53.380 You could have one of those old people grabbers come in from the ceiling, Mission Impossible, that shit. 1.00

01:33:58.220 Like, he could have done it. 0.99

01:33:58.960 He never saw Ocean's Eleven.

01:34:00.400 Yeah, certainly not.

01:34:01.260 But the next guy does not have that problem.

01:34:03.160 so door dasher takes the picture leaves at the doorstep

01:34:13.900 walks away and that seems to be the end of it i don't know how he's gonna steal this

01:36:26.320 Yo, Uber order?

01:36:27.120 That's right.

01:36:27.420 You want to see my...

01:36:27.880 Well, I'm trying to make an order.

01:36:29.240 Okay, well, you gotta wait.

01:36:30.900 I gotta wait?

01:36:32.040 Yeah, you gotta wait.

01:36:32.720 What do you mean I gotta wait? 1.00

01:36:33.900 You gotta wait till we get done with the shit we gotta wait. 1.00

01:36:35.460 Oh, oh, I gotta wait? 1.00

01:36:37.420 Oh, you tough and shit because you make chicken. 1.00

01:36:40.620 Huh?

01:36:41.240 I still got work.

01:36:42.060 I'm off the mat.

01:36:42.540 You still got work?

01:36:43.900 We get it.

01:36:45.120 But KFC is about to be in an urban headline.

01:36:47.160 And thirsty thug shoots fast food worker over water. 0.60

01:36:50.320 Yeah, it was going to be that. 0.99

01:36:53.220 And then if you look at the scene, like look at the doors and shit, 0.98

01:36:56.160 it's absolutely a rundown establishment. 0.97

01:36:59.340 But this guy came in with the wrong energy.

01:37:02.640 You know how we've been talking about oppositional defiant urban people

01:37:06.140 for a while now?

01:37:07.340 If you come at them with this attitude, why ain't nobody working?

01:37:10.040 Everybody on break?

01:37:11.480 Then they just naturally take an opposition to you.

01:37:14.260 They don't want to lose.

01:37:15.180 They hunker down and they go, why are you talking to me?

01:37:17.080 like that. If you came in with a white person customer service voice, I guarantee someone would

01:37:21.040 have taken your order. Hey man, I'm just looking to get a water. Are you going to be back behind

01:37:24.820 the counter soon? Can you ring me up really quick? I hate to be a bother. I know you're on break.

01:37:27.760 You know, you do that white guy. I'd hate to be a bother. You self-deprecate a little bit.

01:37:32.780 But this is a full circle callback. We have the white teenagers at Chick-fil-A. 0.83

01:37:38.020 We have the Hispanic woman of unknown citizenship who the computer will let me. And then we have 1.00

01:37:45.700 the urban kfc which devolves into this everyone's stealing teenagers jobs well well i don't want my

01:37:53.380 white teenagers to go to uh the south side of chicago or wherever this may be that's true but

01:37:58.420 um they can have those are the three customer service archetypes and they're all they're one's

01:38:06.040 the best and it's always the white teenagers then we can show the last picture that i collected for

01:38:10.580 this k equals fc squared with black einstein that that's not nothing yeah that's not nothing

01:38:16.840 that applies here congratulations all right well that's the end of urban decay don't get too down

01:38:21.400 or too depressed we're moving on to uplifting gold and we have uplifting stuff today our first clip

01:38:26.080 is an ai trump squid chinese video

01:39:03.180 He got it.

01:39:05.180 I don't know how much I'm going to use it.

01:39:07.180 But we're not able to talk about it.

01:39:16.180 You're going to be able to steal me.

01:39:18.180 You...

01:39:20.180 I hope he's in the house.

01:39:27.180 The石油 is my house.

01:39:37.180 The長老. 1.00

01:39:39.180 He's going to kill him. 1.00

01:39:41.180 We're going to kill him. 1.00

01:39:43.180 He's going to kill him. 1.00

01:39:45.180 He's going to kill him. 1.00

01:39:47.180 He's going to kill him. 1.00

01:39:49.180 The squid is Israel. 1.00

01:39:56.000 Okay, that's fair.

01:39:57.540 Yeah.

01:39:58.120 We're going to use this oil to fry the squid. 0.84

01:39:59.980 No, we're not.

01:40:00.460 We just want to use it for manufacturing and to help our economy.

01:40:03.640 No, they're going to bomb me.

01:40:05.120 That squid takes them over.

01:40:06.420 That might be what happened.

01:40:07.520 I agree.

01:40:08.340 I was actually, I wasn't really watching that with a keen eye.

01:40:11.800 But yes, that did seem like it.

01:40:13.540 That's what it was.

01:40:14.700 All right, let's go fast as we're running out of time.

01:40:16.820 Great.

01:40:17.220 We spent the three minutes on the AI in Chinese video.

01:40:20.400 Now we have to hurry.

01:40:21.260 Well, that was good.

01:40:22.440 This is what a baby buffalo looks like.

01:40:25.880 If you guys haven't seen.

01:40:29.420 Is that a baby or is that a dwarf? 0.90

01:40:31.440 It might be a dwarf.

01:40:33.920 But I like it.

01:40:35.200 I like it too.

01:40:36.720 I always had a thing for mini horses.

01:40:38.460 I think they're funny.

01:40:39.440 You can get it for cheap too.

01:40:40.560 I know.

01:40:40.900 You can buy an old retired one who somebody's trying to get rid of.

01:40:43.460 You get a mini horse.

01:40:44.140 Those little mini horses that run around, 500 bucks. 1.00

01:40:46.340 Yeah.

01:40:46.480 All right, next, there's someone named Kennedy on Fox,

01:40:50.220 and obviously we're not usually posting Fox News clips,

01:40:52.460 but this was something crazy I've never seen before

01:40:54.400 and actually funny.

01:41:00.840 Amazing.

01:41:02.300 I don't think I can be a wrestler.

01:41:05.240 So they're doing like a wrestling segment,

01:41:07.320 but they just completely suplexed.

01:41:09.100 They suplexed one of the blonde Fox white women. 1.00

01:41:12.520 Yeah, wasn't that crazy? 0.83

01:41:14.520 Classic, yeah.

01:41:15.380 That was pretty good.

01:41:16.480 Our next uplifting clip is a tweet from Trump.

01:41:19.580 He reposted Franklin Graham quote.

01:41:22.920 Yeah, I think it was a letter.

01:41:24.900 President Trump, congratulations.

01:41:26.220 The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the hostages being returned home are incredible accomplishments.

01:41:30.680 Your leadership is historic.

01:41:32.620 This is an answer to much prayer.

01:41:34.700 Jesus said, blessed are the peacemakers.

01:41:37.020 And Mr. President, that is what you are.

01:41:40.180 Aged a little poorly, I guess.

01:41:41.720 This is from October 2025.

01:41:43.240 This week you commented to the media that you might not be heaven bound.

01:41:46.140 Maybe you responded in jest, but it is an important issue to know for certain that your soul is secure and will spend eternity in the presence of God.

01:41:53.980 The only one who can save us from hell is Jesus Christ.

01:41:57.300 You can't save yourself.

01:41:58.280 I can't save myself.

01:41:59.780 Good works, prominent success.

01:42:01.160 None of these get us to heaven.

01:42:02.300 The only way to heaven is through the shed of blood of Jesus Christ.

01:42:05.540 God requires us to turn from our sins and by faith believe in our heart that Jesus came to earth, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and God raised him to life on the third day.

01:42:16.140 If you accept that by faith and invite him to come into your heart, you are heaven bound, I promise you.

01:42:20.920 That was the reason we wanted to share that because Trump just posted that a few days ago.

01:42:24.560 And it's good to hear him, you know, so heavily influenced by Israel, still post that Jesus is the way and how you get to heaven.

01:42:33.320 Sure.

01:42:33.720 You know, so that's good.

01:42:35.020 All right.

01:42:35.300 Our Pure Americana clip of the week is this girl calling out her grandpa's hair.

01:42:40.080 Oh, my God, Grandpa.

01:42:41.400 What?

01:42:42.420 Turn around.

01:42:44.360 I see a bald spot.

01:42:46.140 No, you don't.

01:42:47.420 We kid about things.

01:42:48.600 What do you mean?

01:42:50.380 I see scalp.

01:42:51.880 No, you don't.

01:42:53.680 We kid around about things, but that we don't kid about.

01:42:57.140 That's a felony.

01:42:59.140 That's not even a misdemeanor.

01:43:00.480 That's a felony.

01:43:01.260 Oh, you're right.

01:43:03.740 You're right.

01:43:12.120 Oh, my God.

01:43:12.980 You're running.

01:43:14.460 All right.

01:43:14.880 We get it.

01:43:15.460 that's funny when grandpa, even though he's 90 something still cares. Yeah. All right. Well,

01:43:20.640 that's the end of the show. We do have some shout outs. We have to get to, uh, we have a happy

01:43:24.980 birthday to Freya on March 31st from dad. She turns to happy birthday Freya. Your dad loves you

01:43:32.600 and your whole family. And he grinds for you guys for you, Lillian and Cal, that is a grinder. So

01:43:45.460 Happy birthday, Freya.

01:43:46.600 Happy birthday to Caden W.

01:43:48.340 He turns 32 a few days ago,

01:43:50.620 and he's been watching since the Wooden Spoon days.

01:43:52.700 Thank you, Caden.

01:43:53.240 Happy birthday.

01:43:54.000 Thank you, Caden.

01:44:00.180 Mike turned 50 on March 22nd.

01:44:02.420 It was a little late.

01:44:03.020 They missed it, but we're still doing it.

01:44:05.000 And they love the show,

01:44:06.180 and they watch all the way through every time.

01:44:08.460 Happy birthday, Mike.

01:44:09.420 We need that, Mike.

01:44:10.160 Happy 50th birthday.

01:44:10.920 Happy 50th.

01:44:11.820 That's in United.

01:44:12.760 You can go on, Mark.

01:44:13.600 You're halfway.

01:44:15.460 You're three quarters of the way.

01:44:18.220 You're going to 100.

01:44:19.240 You're good.

01:44:19.640 A little more than half.

01:44:20.740 We have a shout out to Tiffany from your fiance, Nick.

01:44:23.800 He loves you very much and can't wait to come home and marry you.

01:44:27.620 Right now, he's deployed with the Air Force.

01:44:29.660 So thank you to Nick for your service.

01:44:31.800 And him and Tiffany watch every episode and Bonus Land together.

01:44:36.640 But they can't right now because Nick is deployed.

01:44:38.780 So they're watching separately.

01:44:40.180 Wow.

01:44:40.840 Happy birthday.

01:44:41.680 Congrats to you guys on your future wedding, Tiffany and Nick.

01:44:45.980 This is just a shout-out, Tiffany and Nick.

01:44:48.660 Yeah.

01:44:49.100 All right.

01:44:50.000 Happy shout-out.

01:44:51.200 Good for you guys.

01:44:52.160 And then we have a shout-out to John Gill.

01:44:54.120 Oh, John Gill.

01:44:54.880 We love the Gills and the Lowrys.

01:44:57.480 They're some of our top supporters.

01:44:59.420 Lowrys?

01:45:00.120 Lowry?

01:45:00.760 Is that how you say it?

01:45:01.440 I don't know.

01:45:01.920 I actually never asked.

01:45:03.920 Lowry?

01:45:04.500 I'm sure.

01:45:04.680 I always thought it was Lowry.

01:45:06.100 I'm sure it goes either way.

01:45:07.480 Lowry, Lowry.

01:45:08.760 Lowry.

01:45:09.200 But the Gills, especially, they're some of our top supporters

01:45:12.180 and have been for years, and they have a wonderful family.

01:45:15.120 They really are.

01:45:15.900 What do you think got to them?

01:45:18.220 What do you think broke through to them?

01:45:19.760 I don't know, but they have it.

01:45:21.100 They go crazy for us.

01:45:22.520 They love the show, but they also live a good American life.

01:45:25.940 For sure.

01:45:26.440 They have a nice family dynamic.

01:45:28.400 They've got a compound situation.

01:45:30.120 They got what you want.

01:45:31.080 They own a random school.

01:45:32.360 They own a random school in the woods somewhere.

01:45:34.980 You're living my dream.

01:45:35.920 Yeah.

01:45:36.800 That's what I like.

01:45:37.620 So thank you to you guys for supporting for all these years.

01:45:40.200 We love the Gills.

01:45:41.360 Yes.

01:45:41.800 And the Lowry's or Lory's especially.

01:45:44.280 And sorry for botching that.

01:45:45.460 No, you just brought it up because yours actually makes sense,

01:45:48.940 but I was always pronouncing it as something different in my mind.

01:45:51.200 I got it right.

01:45:52.220 Yeah.

01:45:52.460 Well, that's it for the show.
