All right, welcome back to Flegger Socks, a podcast episode 179 today on the show.
00:00:21.480
We obviously don't watch the WNBA, but we are going to cover the Caitlin Clark drama
00:00:28.380
Then in Cringe of the Week, demand for racism continues to exceed the supply.
00:00:33.860
This time, wanting to live in a quiet neighborhood is white supremacy.
00:00:40.620
Now they're removing traffic signs because of homophobic origins.
00:00:45.860
And last but not least, wait until you hear how 7-Eleven is combating against looters.
00:00:53.160
All this and more, it's Flegger Socks, a podcast episode 179, ranked the best new podcast
00:01:03.480
Because words are just words until action actually starts.
00:01:09.160
But at the same time, words speak louder than actions because sometimes it's the right thing
00:01:17.320
It's Flegger Socks podcast featuring Richard Grabber.
00:01:32.140

00:02:16.420
Richard Rappway, got your sleeveless hoodie on again.
00:02:18.960
You know, I started this a couple of years ago.
00:02:20.800
You copied me shortly thereafter and I decided to bring it back.
00:02:25.380
Do you want to thank the audience for the nice birthday gifts they gave you?
00:02:33.920
$9, which I didn't know we were doing before you said it.
00:02:58.940
Well, a couple of people said, you're the only reason I watched the show.
00:03:05.540
Well, we'll just find out who those people are.
00:03:08.840
I'll be cruising through your Venmos later, and we'll find out who said that.
00:03:27.980
First things first, according to an Indian Nostradamus, World War III is going to start
00:03:34.720
An Indian astrologer dubbed New Nostradamus is predicting the start of World War III is
00:03:40.960
Now, Tuesday, 18th June, 2024, has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger World War III,
00:03:55.540
I like my Nostradamus as a certain type of guy.
00:04:10.820
And then he also said, we need to send cash out.
00:04:21.880
And I was asking friends, like, hey, does this sound legit?
00:04:23.920
And he's like, do not ask your family and friends.
00:04:31.480
Otherwise, people would be scammed a lot harder.
00:04:35.720
With the accent, that's the only way to fish out the fake stuff.
00:04:41.720
That, like, it's, like, in the business district in some Indian city.
00:04:45.380
And it's a full call center that's dedicated to 100% scamming American boomers.
00:04:58.100
So, thank you for reminding us to start World War III.
00:05:02.900
World War III kind of feels like it could be coming based on what we're seeing.
00:05:08.140
And they need stuff to happen for Black Swan events.
00:05:14.480
He bought a new $200,000 armored apocalypse super truck, which can launch 10 feet off the ground.
00:05:25.320
Someone's coming at you, and then you smash them?
00:05:30.420
And this might be to bring some attention off of the recent rap beef that he kind of had with Kendrick Lamar.
00:05:43.180
And then I don't like pour out, drank, popped out, drank.
00:05:54.060
But, yes, it is kind of getting into apocalypse season.
00:05:57.100
And a lot of, as we know, a lot of celebrities have the emergency bunkers and stuff in their house.
00:06:03.200
People are, you know, moving to areas that aren't going to get flooded when the flood comes.
00:06:09.200
And, obviously, everyone assumes World War III is nuclear-related, you know?
00:06:15.820
You guys know that nuclear energy is super efficient.
00:06:23.080
But it turns out America doesn't have as many nuclear facilities as we could because girls are scared of it.
00:06:30.320
Is that what, yeah, that's what Scott Adams says.
00:06:32.180
We can't have a robust nuclear energy program in America because American women are afraid of it, per polls.
00:06:38.020
This is another reason why women collectively should not have a voice in national security.
00:06:42.320
They don't even recognize national security when they see it.
00:06:45.060
Here, I'm agreeing with James Carville that the biggest problem with this country is preachy women.
00:06:50.540
And we have China and India, which are getting ahead of us power-wise because they are leaning into nuclear.
00:06:56.980
Yeah, we have a graphic here of operating and under construction.
00:07:01.000
And the main difference is the U.S. does have operating nuclear reactors, but none are under construction.
00:07:06.880
And there's only a few proposed, but we're dealing with a lot of bureaucratic blue tape, red tape, and women who don't like it, I guess.
00:07:15.880
I'd like to see the Scott Adams poll because that sounds interesting.
00:07:21.460
It's kind of the same attitude that progressive women have when it comes to having a gun in the house.
00:07:31.960
And that sounds like a reasonable way to look at it until you get home invaded by some Venezuelans.
00:07:38.240
Yeah, until you start looking at the police response times and you go, huh, 20 minutes.
00:07:41.900
And then how long does it take for someone to die?
00:07:48.140
And then you get home invaded by some Venezuelans and you look at your husband and go, what do we do?
00:07:51.520
And then he says, well, you said we couldn't have a gun.
00:07:56.800
I'm not saying women can't think good because obviously there's a ton of women show watchers who think great.
00:08:01.180
But there's a certain type of attitude where your fear of the unknown is not worth sacrificing the greater good and what's needed and necessary.
00:08:12.520
You know how this show is really good at pointing out the problems in society?
00:08:18.100
The BLACC is doing a lot of crime, stuff like that.
00:08:22.000
We also need to be good at pointing out solutions.
00:08:25.460
And that's what I've been thinking about for the last few days is solutions as well.
00:08:29.540
So you know how microplastics are in everything?
00:08:40.340
We covered that study where like 23 of 23 people had microplastics in their testicles.
00:08:52.800
This was from a medical study that was on the effects of probiotics, a bunch of Latin words
00:09:03.300
This may be one of the solutions to microplastics.
00:09:05.880
The probiotics, Bifidobacterium brevi, and Lactobacillus cassae bind to BPA in the digestive tract
00:09:17.000
Milk, kefir, cheese, yogurt, and sauerkraut are great sources of these bacteria.
00:09:22.400
So you need to be milk, cheese, yogurt, sauerkraut, kefir maxing to get rid of the microplastics.
00:09:26.840
Milk, kefir, cheese, yogurt, especially raw is the best.
00:09:30.400
Sauerkraut fermented foods are really good for your gut microbiome.
00:09:35.160
We need to be upping what we're eating when it comes to those things.
00:09:38.800
And I was kind of realizing that when you consume so much online, it's easy to live in the man-made
00:09:46.600
But you kind of have to create heaven on earth.
00:09:51.480
It said, stop imagining the apocalypse and start imagining heaven on earth, which is true
00:09:56.080
because the new paradigm that we all want will be ushered in by people who are already
00:10:02.380
People carving out their own pockets of utopia, right?
00:10:08.660
It's to not let the negativity stop us from fulfilling our destinies.
00:10:18.620
Speaking of people trying to stop others from fulfilling their destinies.
00:10:32.120
And it's going to be from the point of view of someone who's only seen the clips we're
00:10:42.980
And then here comes Angel Reese over the top, misses the ball, and absolutely swats her in
00:10:51.020
That other girl just body checked her recently.
00:10:55.980
We're only seeing what comes filtered through us on social media, right?
00:10:58.880
But it seems like people are angry and bodying her and playing aggressive against Caitlin
00:11:03.460
Clark, who's the most famous person in the WNBA.
00:11:07.920
I think there's a race aspect too, where all the black girls don't like her as the white
00:11:12.400
And it makes you wonder, can we get some help for it?
00:11:19.160
Hell, I watched and I grew up a Bulls fan in the 90s.
00:11:22.460
And you know what happened when the Detroit Pistons were beating up on the early 90s Bulls
00:11:26.200
and Michael Jordan was scrawny and hadn't been lifting weights yet?
00:11:32.840
We need to go back to 90s NBA style basketball.
00:11:36.720
Hire an absolute mouth breather thug to be Caitlin Clark's bodyguard.
00:11:42.420
The enforcer should come in and basically be ready to throw punches, be ready to throw
00:11:46.760
punches, clean out the paint and eat the three game suspension, whatever comes with it.
00:11:54.280
But in that off time, you're raising up the next generation enforcer on the team and you're
00:12:06.500
But, you know, again, haven't seen a minute of the WNBA.
00:12:09.700
I was going to ask, like, is our people supporting Caitlin Clark?
00:12:16.040
But are they siding with her when she gets fouled?
00:12:21.080
And then Caitlin Clark, all her games are the most highly watched and highly attended.
00:12:30.800
And then we have a quote from Angel Reese here, too.
00:12:34.220
She says basically that some people have a special whistle.
00:12:37.260
For inside, I mean, I think we were playing really hard.
00:12:41.820
I think we went up really strong a lot of times and we didn't get a lot of calls.
00:12:45.440
And going back and looking at the film, I've seen a lot of calls that weren't made.
00:12:49.260
I mean, I guess some people got a special whistle, but.
00:12:52.420
So Caitlin Clark gets all the calls is the insinuation there.
00:12:56.040
To be fair to Angel Reese, Angel Reese should latch on to this, like, Caitlin Clark beef and
00:13:07.020
So that's how rivalries are born and makes her more relevant.
00:13:10.840
But she always seems to say the most annoying, dumb shit I've ever heard.
00:13:13.260
And it's such a weird, stupid take where she's basically saying because Caitlin Clark's white,
00:13:18.500
Well, she didn't say that, but that's what every single sportscaster has said the most
00:13:23.560
retarded shit you've ever heard about, like, whiteness and skin color and Caitlin Clark's
00:13:29.560
And both the refs were black that called the foul.
00:13:31.640
And then here's Stephen A. Smith when he talks about Caitlin Clark.
00:13:37.000
When it's time to play, it's easy to find your next favorite game with Fodog.
00:13:43.060
Play free casino games, get poker tips, and check out the latest sports odds.
00:14:02.280
And she's been a magnet in a way that has benefited the league in ways that others have not,
00:14:14.560
even though their efforts have been worthy and deserving of being as celebrated, if not even more celebrated.
00:14:34.180
And that's the thing, too, is people are all trying to attribute, like,
00:14:37.220
why was not this black girl who was the first pick last year the most popular person on earth?
00:14:42.320
And you can't quantify what makes someone popular or sick or what little girls look up to her or something.
00:14:48.820
It's just, like, this weird thing where even the people who are popular, they're like,
00:14:56.120
And it's interesting that he's making it seem like it's a race issue.
00:15:00.000
Like the WNBA is race favoring someone based on the white race.
00:15:05.680
When it's like WNBA is – NBA and WNBA are mostly black sports.
00:15:14.220
And then we've had, like, superstars in sports you would say are white, like Tiger Woods, Venus and Serena Williams.
00:15:24.440
And those people who you mentioned became the biggest stars in them.
00:15:30.000
But now all of a sudden in 2024 we have a race issue in the WNBA because people like Caitlin Clark.
00:15:36.020
And they must only like her because they're white supremacists.
00:15:38.680
Well, and then the sportscaster world in general has been so hollowed out recently with the race-based, race-focused minority hires and stuff like that that now it's amplified times 10, right?
00:15:52.980
Now all these people who are, like, ready to only talk about race are like, hmm, should I apply race to this scenario?
00:16:00.900
So it's interesting, too, because with this situation, it's like Caitlin Clark is getting bullied by black girls because she's white.
00:16:09.840
And a rookie and, like, they're a little weird jealousy, popularity jealousy.
00:16:13.980
And then Stephen A. Smith goes on TV and says the only reason Caitlin Clark is popular is because she's white, which is, like, promoting the opposite of reality.
00:16:22.580
And it's, like, not only is it the opposite, it's completely backwards where Caitlin Clark's getting bullied because she's white.
00:16:27.040
Like, that's the same thing that happens in the news today with, like, black crime, you know?
00:16:31.540
Like, Don Lemon and Reverend Al and Stephen A. Smith go on TV and say, oh, the biggest issue is white supremacy and police brutality when it's, like, black crime is disproportionately completely blowing every other race out of the water.
00:16:44.500
But not only is it not what's going on, it's the opposite of what's going on.
00:16:49.280
It fits in our backwards and upside-down section.
00:16:51.840
And I can't believe Stephen A. Smith talks like that.
00:16:54.180
That pace on a show, eating up, maybe he just has to eat up airtime and he doesn't have that much to say.
00:17:01.540
He's got a 30-minute show and one page of script.
00:17:07.140
And I can't even waste your time by doing a real impression of it, so.
00:17:11.080
Well, the WNBA is jealous of baller white girls.
00:17:16.400
Yeah, and keep in mind, this is our opinion and our only knowledge of the WNBA is the clip of Caitlin Clark getting fouled.
00:17:31.860
She doesn't even like the show, never seen it, nothing to do with her.
00:17:37.280
First things first in our politics section, Joe Biden got lost on stage, this time with Obama.
00:17:52.760
So the back curtain opens and the band is now playing.
00:18:02.140
And then Obama has to grab him by the hand to take him off.
00:18:07.280
Well, you know, pathetic, but par for the course for Biden, right?
00:18:15.680
Obama had to take him by the hand to remove him from the stage.
00:18:28.040
And then to cover for Joe Biden, the White House released a statement saying that June 14th is Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
00:18:34.780
Yeah, a proclamation on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
00:18:37.720
And it's like, guys, hey, sort yourselves out first.
00:18:40.400
You guys are really running him through the mill.
00:18:42.460
I think it's full cover fire where they're kind of being sociopaths where it's like, hey, it's Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
00:18:50.960
And then by saying that, they think no one would think that Joe Biden's being elderly abused because they wouldn't say, they wouldn't bring attention to elder abuse if they were doing it themselves.
00:18:59.340
So they're trying to, like, you know, return to the scene of the crime and go, oh, what happened?
00:19:12.220
So that's kind of how I see what they're doing with that.
00:19:15.340
Also, don't forget what Obama said a few years back about having a puppet in the White House that he can kind of tell everything to.
00:19:25.280
People would ask me, knowing what you know now, do you wish, like, you had a third term?
00:19:36.260
If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I'd be fine with it.
00:19:59.880
And unfortunately, he got somebody who can't deliver the lines.
00:20:06.000
So, obviously, Joe Biden is slated to debate Trump later in the month.
00:20:11.300
The murmurs I'm hearing is if it goes really bad and he botches the debate, they're going to swap Joe Biden out for somebody else.
00:20:21.560
Literally, like, you mean the Michelle Obama theory type?
00:20:24.100
Yeah, Michelle Obama theory, but I've also heard it could be not just Michelle Obama.
00:20:29.460
So, this debate coming up is, like, an important thing.
00:20:33.140
And then keep in mind, if they want him out, they just don't give him the shot.
00:20:42.300
And everyone goes, oh, of course we have to get rid of this guy.
00:20:46.600
Later in the weekend, Chuck Schumer pretended to be a human by posting a barbecue burger pic.
00:20:51.080
Yeah, this absolute reptile guy posted a pic, said, our family has lived in an apartment building for all our years, but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard, and for the first time we're having a barbecue with hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill.
00:21:06.280
He's in charge of the lesbian grilling sesh, and you can zoom in and see he's got cheese on a raw patty.
00:21:15.500
He got cooked online for this, like unbelievable, to the point where he deleted it.
00:21:24.400
He fully deleted it, not even close to being a human.
00:21:28.420
Yeah, not close to being a human was the main takeaway.
00:21:39.600
And obviously who we're up against are very desperate people who want to maintain power and control.
00:21:45.300
And to do that, they're going to need to do some pretty serious cheating.
00:21:54.480
One of my biggest issues with Republicans is no one's trying to prevent cheating or do what the Democrats do, like send a million lawyers to every single polling station and make sure everything's done correctly.
00:22:04.620
Laura Trump at a Turning Point event gave a speech and she kind of alluded to this and said that we're kind of handling it or she's handling it.
00:22:11.640
Right before I came here, I was about 30 minutes away with the chairman of the RNC, Michael Watley.
00:22:18.160
He and I started here in the state of Michigan launching our election integrity program.
00:22:23.720
And what we want to do is train 100,000 people all across this country to be part of that team.
00:22:32.860
That means we want poll watchers, but not just that.
00:22:37.180
We have a unique opportunity right now that we have not had in 40 years as a party.
00:22:43.400
For 40 years, there was a consent decree placed upon the RNC that did not allow us to train people to work as poll workers.
00:22:52.960
So 100,000 poll workers and 500 lawyers to monitor the 2024 election.
00:23:02.120
And then if you're a normal citizen and you're kind of at the polls, you need to be filming and doing as much as you can, watching, keeping an eye out.
00:23:10.640
Even if you're not one of these trained poll workers, you can kind of fire from the hip and start snitching, filming.
00:23:17.460
That's the thing, too, is they have a limited numbers of cities where they can do this, and they fired the bullet with Joe Biden.
00:23:24.080
Like they fired this in the 2016 election or the 2020 election, rather.
00:23:28.740
And to do it again in all these shitty cities like Detroit, Atlanta, Phoenix was one of them.
00:23:39.020
And so we know where we need to go in those swing states.
00:23:43.280
That could be uplifting gold, but it's important.
00:23:47.980
We're moving on to our last page of housekeeping.
00:23:50.120
Before we get there, make sure you guys use this opportunity to tickle the post.
00:23:56.060
Then start yapping about what you want to yap about.
00:24:11.720
Before we get into the migrant section, we have something from last week that we need to acknowledge.
00:24:17.540
At the G7, the princess of Bulgaria really turned some heads out there.
00:24:34.480
You could have just worn a normal sleeved fit and then been like, oh, kind of like a monster
00:24:51.580
This falls into the, you don't have anything nice to say.
00:24:54.920
But I don't think we'd have much of a podcast if we followed those rules.
00:24:59.060
So unfortunately, sorry to the people of Bulgaria.
00:25:07.060
This week's migrant section or today's migrant section is going to focus more abroad.
00:25:13.760
I've noticed of people kind of pushing back against the migrants.
00:25:17.420
So this first clip is a girl doing a selfie video while a migrant's harassing her and
00:25:24.000

She's, and then he's coming up and then the cop just yanks his shirt and pulls him away.
00:25:48.140
That's what it'll look like when everyone's mobilized and everyone's thinking the same
00:25:51.720
way of like, hey, we don't need these third worlders here anymore.
00:25:58.800
Even if you're a nice guy, you got here a couple of years ago and you're kind of assimilating,
00:26:02.540
you know, we'll get you a first class ticket back.
00:26:08.880
You're traveling luxury, but you're going back.
00:26:12.600
This next one, apparently, this is allegedly, but allegedly this.
00:26:17.020
Uh, migrant was doing a lot of crimes and causing trouble in the neighborhood.
00:26:20.820
And then this little Irish man came up and knocked him out.
00:26:23.740
Listen, listen, listen to what I'm saying to you.
00:26:42.380
People's patience, you know, you're testing it.
00:26:45.260
You know how the same thing that I said about how migrants were following, like we've said
00:26:50.580
this a long time ago, but migrants are following social media and they're seeing how easy it is
00:26:55.600
And they're seeing how, like the best way, sharing ideas on TikTok on how to get benefits,
00:27:01.900
Well, now that same migrant, the same phone transference of energy is happening for the
00:27:10.880
And they're seeing how migrants are misbehaving and how bad they're treating and abusing the
00:27:22.720
So the same thing that got all you guys here and sharing the information is now making your
00:27:27.100
luck run out or your welcome wear thin is what I would say.
00:27:31.100
And this is the upcoming elections for everywhere.
00:27:37.980
The next for the next 18 months, whatever international, domestic, all elections are like a referendum
00:27:47.100
And another reason people are waking up is because the migrants that are coming to the
00:27:54.020
They're not like the migrant class of 1995 who's just head down.
00:27:58.440
I just want to go to work and send some money home.
00:28:02.220
But at least they were grateful and kind of kept their head down.
00:28:09.040
They're like, oh, these stupid Westerners are giving us free everything, free house, free
00:28:17.760
There was a man on the street reporter interviewing people about British culture.
00:28:24.200
Has diversity killed traditional British culture?
00:28:29.500
I've been in the UK for three years and I don't, I can't even think what British culture is.
00:28:43.460
It's like, well, there's paved streets, bustling cities, tall buildings, the Magna Carta.
00:28:57.000
You slip it up like the Instagram family we've shown before.
00:29:01.500
They fight over the goat head or the hot dog, whatever.
00:29:06.220
And then I found some tweets and some memes that kind of sum up the sentiment of how I feel about people that are ungrateful living in Western countries.
00:29:14.180
Ethnics will tell you whites have no culture while speaking our languages, using our technologies, employing our rhetoric and concepts, dressed in a European style, and expecting European codes of debate and behavior like a fish who can't detect water because it's everywhere.
00:29:33.620
It says, nations that build like this don't benefit from immigrants who build like that.
00:29:43.760
And then the last one, this, yeah, this last one here.
00:29:46.760
Never forget Britain sacrificed a generation of their best men in their entire empire during World War II so they could never be ruled by foreign people.
00:29:58.380
The call is coming from inside the house, as they say.
00:30:03.440
Well, our last piece, speaking of culture, right?
00:30:32.260
He stayed after, signed autographs for everybody.
00:30:41.400
And they played in Pinehurst, North Carolina, which is a very tough course.
00:30:46.700
So Donald Ross courses have elevated greens and they're inverted discs.
00:31:00.060
The rest of the course is pretty easy, wide open.
00:31:10.200
That's where Payne Stewart played before he died right after winning a championship.
00:31:50.160
And wait until you hear the reasoning for this.
00:31:53.900
L.A. City Council members Hugo Soto Martinez and Nithya Raman were on hand today to help
00:32:04.840
They say the no cruising and no U-turn signs were put up in the 1990s to prevent people
00:32:10.560
in the gay community from meeting up with other gay people.
00:32:13.800
I was also surprised that these U-turn signs were still up.
00:32:21.340
And at first, you know, they seem a little, oh, okay, it's just a no U-turn sign.
00:32:25.440
But when you learn the history of it and you realize that these were used to profile gay
00:32:29.960
people, it's so important that we have these removed.
00:32:32.620
So they're removing the no U-turn signs because gay guys who are driving by, they can see other
00:32:39.300
gay guys and then want to turn their car around in the middle of the road and they should be
00:32:50.260
So like on somebody's like street, like some guy lives there.
00:32:54.480
The skid marks and he pulls over so quick because he sees another guy who he immediately wants
00:33:00.020
They said they'd stop him from meeting other gay men, right?
00:33:04.120
You can't do a legal U-turn somewhere else or turn around and catch a light and come
00:33:09.340
They need to let them get to each other as fast as possible.
00:33:13.440
The next monkey box has to get here, right guys?
00:33:16.740
And then it makes you wonder, maybe they should get rid of texting and driving laws because
00:33:23.000
You're saying I can't be swiping right, like just doing this while I'm going 100 miles an hour?
00:33:31.400
People who aren't proud to be gay because of white supremacy.
00:33:35.540
And you know what's funny too, is this is kind of, you're the most homophobic person
00:33:42.900
You know, your old uncle who looks like, he says the most slurs ever.
00:33:46.940
He goes, you know, they just, you know, they just pull a U-turn.
00:33:51.400
They see each other and they want to hook up and they just do a U-turn in the middle of
00:33:55.500
And so it's like the most homophobic person, you know, and the gay guys are agreeing on
00:34:03.320
And this is, we've seen the gay battle for the streets, the trans flags and how that's
00:34:09.360
Uh, they're taking down, uh, old homophobic road signs.
00:34:22.780
And then also they may change some traffic laws to Gavin Newsom made jaywalking not illegal
00:34:27.740
because jaywalking disproportionately affected black people.
00:34:34.300
So all the street laws are kind of going to shit now.
00:34:39.820
What if you want to park and like hook up with the gay guy?
00:34:49.280
Do you want to know a parking meter story just off randomly?
00:34:53.480
Chicago, the city of Chicago sold the rights to all their parking meters to like Saudi Arabia
00:35:01.680
Maybe I might be getting that wrong, but they were so incompetent.
00:35:05.240
The Democrat-run city of Chicago was so incompetent.
00:35:07.360
They sold off all their parking meters to like whoever, a foreign investor, a 99-year lease
00:35:15.360
And so all the money that is collected by Chicago parking meters is enriching someone
00:35:21.400
And they made their money back like on the investment they bought it for.
00:35:26.620
And so now the rest of the 93 years is pure profit.
00:35:34.200
But at least, you know, that doesn't affect the gay guys, I guess.
00:35:49.940
That's like what they're doing with taking the street signs down.
00:35:52.700
But the drag queen who got it done has a funny name and is maybe a girl.
00:36:04.680
It's like the most homophobic person you know and the gay guys, they agree.
00:36:09.240
They go, yeah, we can't be stopped at any cost.
00:36:11.880
We have to be able to make illegal U-turns immediately to suck somebody.
00:36:18.480
Next thing that makes no sense but is for equality.
00:36:21.220
It turns out that wanting to live in a quiet neighborhood is racist now.
00:36:32.500
And this is actually from 2022, but it just came across our desks.
00:36:38.280
And the Atlantic says if gentrification has a sound, it's silence.
00:36:43.860
Sochittle Gonzales on why the rich love quiet so much and what it means for everyone else.
00:37:05.020
They get rich and they go, I'm not going to live in this loud, poor neighborhood.
00:37:11.780
And then also it's like, think of the natural way of it.
00:37:15.680
Like, would you want to live where everyone's stacked up on top of each other?
00:37:19.340
And then you hear someone yelling domestic violence because they're literally 100 feet from you?
00:37:26.520
Of course, rich people are going to have more space, right?
00:37:30.420
Imagine, you know, the very rare case, some people like street noise.
00:37:35.400
People who live in Manhattan, they get used to it.
00:37:38.320
But now noise pollution is good because rich white people don't like it.
00:37:43.420
So like having standards is a white thing now or a rich thing now.
00:37:48.000
And then this author, I actually looked into this.
00:37:50.720
She wrote an article later where she said that she had to go upstate to escape the noise.
00:37:56.220
She said, three months in one case of COVID later, I was quarantining with my best friend, her husband, and their toddler in their Brooklyn apartment.
00:38:03.820
Before long, the close quarters and endless sounds of sirens made revising my novel there untenable.
00:38:15.740
So it makes you wonder, why do poor people make so much noise?
00:38:20.320
Are they poor because they make noise or do they make noise because they're poor?
00:38:25.140
I'm sure she'll write an addendum to that article and get it out.
00:38:28.880
And there was actually a response to that from, was it Pagliacci the Clown?
00:38:35.520
It's a long read, but please read the whole thing.
00:38:38.240
She said, you can always tell who is actually poor and who's just an Ivy League shitlib LARPing because the latter romanticizes aspects of poverty that real poor people desperately want to escape.
00:38:49.740
When they think noisy neighborhood, their mind conjures up some abuela playing trophy pop out her breezy open window while she makes empanadas as a table of Chinese men laugh and play mahjong on the street.
00:39:02.980
In reality, the noise of poverty is the woman next door screaming while she's getting beaten up by her drunk boyfriend, a schizo man shouting obscenities outside of your apartment window, and the blaring siren of ambulances coming to collect yet another overdose.
00:39:16.080
So wealth is correlated with silence, but not in the way that this author thinks.
00:39:34.060
And if people are up all night, they're doing drugs, they're yelling, they're fighting, kids are running around in the street when they shouldn't be.
00:39:40.360
They have older cars with louder mufflers and worse exhaust, you know?
00:39:46.700
And everyone with bad behavior is up to bad shit.
00:39:49.320
And that's why those neighborhoods are the way they are.
00:39:56.320
There's a white guy who's overseeing it and goes, yes, pump in the sound, make it louder.
00:40:02.180
It's a sum of their parts and their parts are doing loud, annoying shit.
00:40:05.040
And then the people who have standards and don't want to live like that, they get out and become wealthier because they don't want to continue living like that.
00:40:13.880
And everyone else who doesn't mind stays in the hell pit.
00:40:19.140
In the same vein, while obviously these people write articles like that, corporations are also getting involved in equity when it comes to neighborhoods.
00:40:29.220
Turns out Google Maps doesn't allow scenic routes.
00:40:32.980
Because scenic routes a lot of times don't go through poor neighborhoods.
00:40:37.140
And then if you don't want to walk through a bad neighborhood, you're a racist.
00:40:41.300
Well, you might not be racist, but that's problematic and Google won't allow it, right?
00:40:45.540
You need to go through dangerous situations because you don't want to be seen as insensitive.
00:40:49.560
So this guy is a Google engineer who is talking about Google Maps and having the scenic route option like Fleck has just said.
00:40:56.260
And he later, I think, protected all of his tweets and kind of pulled to Chuck Schumer and deleted a lot of this after the cat got out of the bag.
00:41:05.800
Well, he goes, on its own, this bias isn't necessarily a bad thing, but let's examine the shape of this bias.
00:41:11.980
Ask yourself, between these two streets, which one is the new scenic route algorithm going to choose?
00:41:18.460
And it's like, obviously the nice, small New England town that looks orderly and isn't.
00:41:27.720
Because of its global scale, even a small shift in maps routing from a seemingly innocuous and, frankly, very useful feature could create a reinforcing feedback loop with spatial inequity.
00:41:40.380
They're not just going to give you what you want, the scenic route.
00:41:43.680
They're going to think about equity beforehand and think about biases.
00:41:47.920
Inadvertently diverting foot traffic from low-income streets to high-income streets takes revenue and potentially tax dollars from already struggling communities and funnels it instead to richer communities.
00:41:57.720
Always remember, we live and build tools in complex system.
00:42:01.640
For context, IME, this idea was usually discussed with regard, in my experience, this idea was usually discussed with regard to walking navigation specifically.
00:42:11.760
So this guy's just a pussy Google engineer who's saying, no, we can't make you not walk past the bodega.
00:42:20.500
Yeah, you can't have a scenic walking route because that means that you're going to avoid bad neighborhoods, and that's racist.
00:42:28.820
So you have to walk through bad neighborhoods that are more dangerous for equality.
00:42:33.680
But then it makes you wonder, why don't poor people make their neighborhoods nice?
00:42:41.420
Is an old white lady who cleans her sidewalk and her storefront and plants flowers out front, is she doing that because of the color of her skin?
00:42:53.280
And then are people in poor neighborhoods who have shitty storefronts and dirty sidewalks and drugs and needles everywhere, they're not allowed to be held accountable and say, hey, clean up your area.
00:43:04.960
But they can't because their skin is darker, I guess.
00:43:10.820
Yeah, because the white lady only cleans her storefront because she's white.
00:43:20.240
So, yes, from what we've seen, everything is race-based and white people are the problem and the reason our country is messed up.
00:43:31.580
And then for us, for white men, ones who aren't homosexuals, they're oftentimes in a state of perpetual adolescence.
00:43:41.200
I saw this article about how adults are buying more toys than kids.
00:43:48.960
Yeah, grownups surpass preschoolers as the biggest toy consumers, most important age group.
00:43:54.620
And here they are playing – it's mostly Legos, Marvel shit, and Star Wars stuff, basically.
00:44:03.860
Their love of all things, Star Wars, Marvel, Ghostbusters, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a bright patch in an otherwise bleak outlook for the toy industry.
00:44:11.680
The reality is that most kids are not connecting with physical toys the way previous generations did, toy influencer Dan Larson told the Post, explaining that he's a big fan of G.I. Joe.
00:44:24.320
Serkana, which tracks consumer trends, describes 18 and over as the most important age group for the toy industry, pointing to a recent survey showing that 43% of adults purchased a toy for themselves during the past year.
00:44:36.520
And then here's one last thing that I'm going to read from the article because I kind of like it as a slur.
00:44:42.180
Like, if we take it ourselves, it can kind of be a slur.
00:44:45.140
Lego has someone on staff whose job is outreach to AFOLs or adult fans of Lego.
00:44:52.180
So, they have someone who's specifically catering to them who are buying $200 sets.
00:44:59.500
You kind of bully them on the walk home, the non-scenic route home past the bodega.
00:45:15.340
I saw a tweet from a guy who is in a fantasy football league, and look what it said.
00:45:20.540
It said, I finished in last place in fantasy football, and tomorrow I have to do my punishment.
00:45:24.140
I have to sit in a McDonald's for 24 hours unless I can eat my way out of it.
00:45:29.300
Here's the key I was given by a league mate for what I can eat to shorten my time.
00:45:33.480
And it's like a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, takes 45 minutes off, blah, blah, blah.
00:45:37.880
Every menu item has some sort of time reduction for him.
00:45:46.140
They're trying to arrest Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the 2024 election.
00:45:54.240
And they're about to steal the election again, and then you have to stay in McDonald's and eat your way out because of a fantasy football thing.
00:46:04.260
And you're buying Legos more than kids are, and your entire country is being taken over from within.
00:46:16.860
And on top of that, when you're eating McDonald's, obviously the bread is – everything in McDonald's is disgusting.
00:46:32.940
L-cysteine is commonly used to make bread in the United States.
00:46:36.240
It's synthesized from human hair sourced from barbershops in China.
00:46:43.840
It says, yes, some bread contains L-cysteine, an amino acid that is often derived from human hair.
00:46:49.660
L-cysteine is used as an additive in bread production to improve the texture and appearance of the dough,
00:46:54.500
make it easier to handle, break down gluten, and reduce rising time.
00:46:57.900
It can also help extend the shelf life of bread.
00:47:11.020
So I guess thousands of years of water, flour, salt, and yeast.
00:47:19.700
I don't know how that happened, but somebody got in the middle.
00:47:26.760
So you're playing with toys and eating as much McDonald's as you can.
00:47:31.340
Like, you're playing with toys like an autism kid.
00:47:36.380
I can't leave McDonald's until I eat the hair bread.
00:47:39.760
And then you're in a fantasy football league with your other friends.
00:47:43.560
And then you have a punishment where you have to stay in McDonald's for 24 hours and eat your way out to get out of there before 24 hours.
00:47:57.240
Hard not to get black-pilled in some of this content.
00:48:22.460
We're going to go not speed round, but we do have, like, multiple crime clips.
00:48:27.340
So we're going to use that much commentary when it's 20 guys running through a store stealing everything.
00:48:38.500
A wild brawl breaks out inside Disney Concert Hall Thursday evening during a graduation ceremony.
00:48:45.000
Kids from an alternative education school and probation started fighting.
00:48:49.720
We were coming out of the ceremonies, and there was a car right on the other side of the cars that were parked.
00:48:57.640
And they saw smoke and everything, and everybody just got down on the ground.
00:49:01.000
Two people were taken into custody in the parking lot.
00:49:08.640
So this was an L.A. high school graduation for students on probation.
00:49:12.180
It was like a behaviorally impaired kids, and they got into a giant brawl.
00:49:16.900
They were behaviorally impaired, and it's not probably graduation because they graduated.
00:49:28.500
We didn't fail anybody, so come to the ceremony.
00:49:39.760
And then there was another post-graduation incident on Long Island.
00:49:44.720
There was a shooting breaks out after 2,000 teens skipped school and swarmed Nassau County
00:49:51.580
The teens were seen fighting, dancing on cop cars, and eventually shooting someone after
00:49:57.640
Hundreds of people were seen swarming the beach and taking over a lifeguard stand.
00:50:29.300
So they're going to ruin senior skip day for all the nice kids who just use it to go
00:50:33.060
get ice cream and, you know, make out with their girlfriend, right?
00:50:41.160
It turns out one of the gunmen who shot five people on I-240, including four small children,
00:50:46.980
was out on bond for possessing a stolen gun that had a switch.
00:50:50.960
A judicial commissioner set him free on $500 bond.
00:50:55.020
Voting for Democrats puts every family in Memphis in danger.
00:50:58.900
So you have a switch, a modified gun to go full auto and go, then it'll cost $500 to get
00:51:06.280
And then you go back out in the streets, then you shoot five people, and four of them are
00:51:12.380
The judge or whoever did that, the DA or whatever, those people should go to jail.
00:51:19.180
And that's what happened in the case of Bianca whatever, who stabbed the three-year-old randomly.
00:51:32.680
That's after all the judges who got appointed under the Biden administration are gone.
00:51:37.020
We're going to start circling back on some of these issues.
00:51:39.560
We'll reuse the illegal immigrant deportation buses for these people, too.
00:51:49.440
You're going to have to have reasons to be busing.
00:51:52.040
And then there was a tweet from a Stanford professor.
00:51:54.700
Stanford, one of the best colleges in the world.
00:52:00.060
He said, what's the best explanation for why New York, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle,
00:52:04.340
and LA have much lower murder rates than other major cities in the US?
00:52:11.080
And the other major murder rate cities are New Orleans, Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia,
00:52:21.160
Well, Eric, Bjorn Holfson, he seems like a Scandinavian guy.
00:52:27.120
He went to Harvard and MIT, and now he teaches at Stanford.
00:52:37.180
It's how many black people are in that city, Eric.
00:52:41.800
Because you go to Stanford, you go to Harvard, you're so smart.
00:52:47.980
I don't know what I've controlled for every variable.
00:52:53.960
It's literally just how many black people are there, dude.
00:52:56.200
Like, I don't know what to tell you at this point.
00:52:58.560
It's not even hard to figure out New Orleans is number one.
00:53:01.940
And it's like Steve Saylor's and this guy's reply is like, well, here, I actually have
00:53:07.820
He's like a known stats fanatic about this particular thing.
00:53:12.060
And then maybe he goes, well, what about the black cities that don't have a high murder
00:53:22.180
And he's teaching kids in the smartest college in the world.
00:53:29.160
Because you should be telling us, but we know it.
00:53:32.680
You should be telling us in like a palatable way.
00:53:35.760
Or maybe you should pretend you don't know so you can keep your job and don't get fired.
00:53:44.120
So we've seen the groups of teens, the probation high schoolers.
00:53:50.140
And what are some other businesses doing about this kind of onslaught of children?
00:53:59.680
Here in Tacoma Park, if police catch your child this summer in the act, they might get
00:54:11.680
This is an innovative way the police department here is aiming to reduce crime and build rapport
00:54:19.640
Anytime an officer sees the child making a good decision, being kind or doing the right
00:54:28.140
There has been a sharp increase in juvenile crime and crime here in Tacoma Park has increased
00:54:33.820
last year due to social issues, drugs and changes in laws affecting juveniles.
00:54:39.240
It's not the time to be like, you know, giving out Slurpees and, hey, good on you.
00:54:47.740
It's time to strike fear in the teenage gangbanger types.
00:55:00.540
He got a 15-year sentence for looting that place.
00:55:05.740
And then word spreads amongst the criminals, the people who would be doing that type of
00:55:09.600
crime, and they start playing scared and start getting sloppy and making mistakes.
00:55:13.800
And the ones who do continue, they go away for 15 years.
00:55:17.300
And then the ones who go, oh, that's not worth it, they get to do other crimes.
00:55:21.600
You know who probably came up with this Slurpee ticket thing?
00:55:30.160
Well, let's just give him Slurpees and tell him, please don't steal my livelihood.
00:55:37.400
Maybe we can use some of the buses on these kids.
00:55:40.240
Well, our next page of housekeeping is actually quite interesting.
00:55:46.880
So a lot of the people in these sections have gotten grants or free business or whatever
00:55:57.060
So he was asked why he spent $30,000 on campaign funds on hair and makeup and listened to his
00:56:07.520
And that is about the Suntime story last week about your spending of $30,000 from your campaign
00:56:15.840
Can you respond to that and explain why you think that's an appropriate use of the campaign
00:56:22.320
dollars to what to many people seems like a lot of money?
00:56:27.060
I think it's always appropriate to make sure that we're investing in small businesses,
00:56:31.520
especially minority-owned, black-owned, women-owned businesses.
00:56:39.260
We support black and brown-owned businesses, women-owned businesses.
00:56:46.340
So you spent $30,000 on hair and makeup, but it's okay, even though it's campaign funds,
00:56:55.380
If it went to white people, he'd go, sorry, mea culpa, guys.
00:57:01.700
I was racist with how I was spending my money, so now it's good.
00:57:06.380
So he's all good, allowed to do whatever, because it's going to black people.
00:57:10.400
And this is also a hugely dangerous precedent, because this is a man with, like, a short haircut.
00:57:27.960
It could get upwards of six figures, I would say.
00:57:33.500
And then the media, the pushback, you know, it's just kind of nothing.
00:57:37.340
Like, if I was, like, the Chicago Sun-Times reporter, or I think he was just referencing the Sun-Times,
00:57:42.960
but if I was that reporter, I'd say, honestly, mayor, that's not that good of an answer.
00:57:48.340
You're wasting a lot of money on makeup and hair.
00:57:51.200
So it's kind of like this thing where as long as he has an answer, then he's like, okay, that's my answer.
00:58:00.820
I'm giving it to my friend's daughter's business.
00:58:05.020
And then this similar thing happened with Joe Biden.
00:58:08.540
He was meeting with black business entrepreneurs and listened to the interaction he has with the woman who opened a ice cream shop.
00:58:19.000
I would love one day to be able to have you try some of my ice cream.
00:58:25.200
I'm known for my Ray-Ban sunglasses and chocolate chip ice cream.
00:58:32.500
I got a lot of opportunities as far as grants and stuff this year.
00:58:44.580
It's not like, oh, I'm doing this new ice cream flavor or, oh, I'm getting a lot of foot traffic.
00:58:49.760
It's like the government gave me the free money.
00:58:52.140
That's what she thinks handling her business is.
00:58:55.400
You know, like, don't we have a soda tax in a lot of these big cities, these Democrat cities?
00:59:00.100
Now we're giving grants for this ice cream shop?
00:59:06.600
So, but obviously the reason for that is being a black business owner outweighs that.
00:59:22.900
Ice cream shop, free money as long as you're black.
00:59:25.480
And then it's like the same for what we covered in Cringe.
00:59:29.300
You can break traffic laws as long as you're trying to do gay stuff.
00:59:38.020
The day that we came in office as an administration, President Biden and I made a commitment that
00:59:42.580
we would increase federal government contracts by 50% to minority-owned businesses.
00:59:51.660
If you were wondering if it's a conspiracy or we're just nitpicking.
00:59:59.440
It's not unconstitutional, even though discriminating against black people or discrimination of
01:00:05.060
Choosing where to spend money for some reason, it's not discrimination.
01:00:08.920
Having a colorblind bidding process, that's unacceptable, right?
01:00:14.460
And these are obviously reparations, just unspoken reparations.
01:00:17.860
Um, and, but unfortunately, black business owners and black customers are in different
01:00:33.060
And then 20 people wearing all black and ski masks come in, robbing everybody and the
01:01:02.020
But instead of doing something productive, like an afterschool sports, they're robbing
01:01:10.160
They all quit and they robbed the jewelry store now.
01:01:14.160
I can't find, I can't find, I can't fill a foursome sometimes.
01:01:17.840
It's like, who, how many criminal friends do you have guys?
01:01:22.220
So, you know, good thing that ice cream girl got grants though.
01:01:32.680
This is when they go to a, this is when they go bowling, like a nice experience, a nice
01:01:41.820
She's not going to that shit like, y'all might want to go.
01:02:08.440
You know those birthday candles that you blow out, but they're a prank birthday candle where
01:02:13.660
It's like that, where it seems like the fighting dies down, but then that lady in the red starts
01:02:17.720
running and chasing and trying to knock somebody out again.
01:02:22.260
And then because of behavior experience firsthand by business owners, some business owners are
01:02:30.020
saying, hey, some non-white business owners are saying, hey, we don't want black customers.
01:02:39.780
Did you tell my sister you weren't going to serve her because she's black?
01:02:50.940
Because she's black, because another black person took your food and didn't pay, so you're
01:03:05.920
You can't tell her you're not going to serve her because she's black because of what somebody else did today.
01:03:19.320
And, you know, yeah, you can get this guy on some sort of human rights or civil rights violation,
01:03:24.740
but I don't think the Vietnam guy with the raspy voice serving up Chinese food with seed oils really cares.
01:03:34.840
That's the kind of guy they come for because he's a problem in society,
01:03:38.140
not the 10 black people before who took the food for free or yelled at him or didn't pay or didn't tip
01:03:44.980
or caused a scene or got into a fight or had a gun.
01:03:48.120
I'm sure that was a big decision for a business owner to start turning away business.
01:03:53.440
It's not worth the trouble he's basically made the decision of.
01:03:56.540
Like, obviously, he can get some money from it.
01:04:09.780
And we have a lot of good uplifting gold today.
01:04:20.880
And then the Tuesday, a week from today, that Tuesday episode, our uplifting gold is going
01:04:26.240
to be all crowdsourced audience uplifting gold.
01:04:32.700
Zach, Z-A-C-H, at Fleckistalks.com is the email.
01:04:37.060
Send your uplifting gold that you're OK with being on the show to that email.
01:04:42.280
And we're going to feature it on Tuesday before we go on vacation.
01:04:46.900
And then the whole week after, which is July 4th.
01:04:49.260
But if you're in bonus land and a bonus land member, you'll get content that Friday we're
01:04:53.960
off, the Tuesday we're off, and the Friday we're off.
01:04:57.580
So send us your uplifting gold for that Tuesday episode a week from today.
01:05:11.520
These are my implants before my final gets put on.
01:05:30.100
She could have, like, if she was this with no teeth.
01:05:36.700
And then now this other lady, she could be a bartender at Chili's or something.
01:05:41.320
Not a very high end place with the eyebrow ring still and the face tattoos.
01:05:45.920
That shows, hey, take care of your teeth, people.
01:05:49.260
It's uplifting because it's something to remember.
01:05:56.360
This guy lost his phone in a crowd full of people and someone found it.
01:06:37.380
If he catches the card, he can buy whatever he wants.
01:06:40.520
He wants the kid to just slam his head against the door.
01:06:42.900
It's a prank where you slam your head against the door.
01:07:09.960
That's supposed to be a prank where you just slam your head and it never works,
01:07:19.200
So, this is someone's pet and they put together a compilation of the start of her videos
01:07:57.420
He got into a really bad motorcycle accident, almost died.
01:08:06.120
I'd like to share a very important message with you all.
01:08:08.800
You know how much I love cycling and triathlons and Ironman, et cetera.
01:08:13.020
This week, unfortunately, I had a really bad accident and it really shook me.
01:08:22.000
Now, from those incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, nurses in the hospital that looked
01:08:34.520
I don't care, you know, the fact that these helmets cost money, but they're crucial.
01:08:39.740
Even with the kids, a short journey, they've got to wear a helmet.
01:08:46.020
It's been a brutal week and I'm sort of getting through it.
01:08:50.720
But I cannot tell you the importance of wearing a helmet.
01:08:58.340
Uplifting because he's okay and he has an uplifting message of wear a helmet.
01:09:02.280
I would hate to have lost Gordon Ramsey on this random weekend, this random US Open
01:09:12.240
And I don't know, have we ever said this on the show?
01:09:14.940
Like, we had a football coach who died in a bike accident.
01:09:19.600
Like, if you're doing road, on the road biking, I don't know where he was or whatever, but
01:09:25.640
you don't get injuries like that unless you get hit by a car, right?
01:09:29.000
So, a lot of people, man, you think it's fine, stay on trails or stay on things.
01:09:34.520
Because people are texting fucking more than ever.
01:09:45.080
They're wearing the meta binoculars, the VR thing.
01:09:48.180
Like, people really do not give a shit about bikers.
01:09:54.440
You go over the handlebars, you snap your neck the wrong way.
01:10:07.060
The worst uninsured Venezuelan driver on the road who's texting and gay on Grindr.
01:10:11.960
Or a boomer who's trying to text and drive and they don't know where all the letters are
01:10:17.660
Or my grandpa who is driving years beyond he should have been because he didn't want
01:10:35.880
