00:00:46.460 Welcome back to Flock of Socks, the podcast episode 114.

00:00:50.220 Today on the show, it's popping off between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East.

00:00:55.080 We will give you guys a reasonable take there.

00:00:57.040 Then, is Ron DeSantis wearing high heels to appear taller?

00:01:01.120 We'll tell you why we think he is.

00:01:03.100 Then, in Cringe of the Week, cis allies are considered transphobic by the LGBTs.

00:01:08.880 We'll tell you why they don't deserve as much credit as we're giving them.

00:01:12.440 And last but not least, the term picnic is now racist.

00:01:16.500 We'll tell you how.

00:01:17.460 All this and more.

00:01:18.140 Flock of Socks, the podcast episode 114, ranked the best new podcast of all time.

00:01:24.980 Because words are just words until action actually starts.

00:01:28.260 And actions speak louder than words.

00:01:30.480 But at the same time, words speak louder than words.

00:01:32.860 Because sometimes it's the right thing to do.

00:01:34.800 It's the right thing to do.

00:01:35.620 Very cool.

00:01:36.700 Very cool.

00:01:37.700 Very cool.

00:01:38.660 It's Wlock of Socks, the podcast featuring Richard.

00:01:41.460 Richard.

00:02:58.020 It's very important to get rid of our bad habits, Richard.

00:02:59.860 All right, moving on.

00:03:03.040 We have, obviously, a situation in the Middle East, very sad situation.

00:03:08.180 Israel, there was an attack, a Hamas attack on a concert where a bunch of innocent people were killed, and things are obviously escalating now.

00:03:16.820 Not exactly the way to get a bunch of people on your side, raiding and doing literal terrorism and war crimes.

00:03:22.820 Yeah, literal war crimes.

00:03:24.900 I don't – obviously, it's a very sad situation.

00:03:28.100 How do they not see it coming?

00:03:31.140 And it was on the 50th anniversary as well of some sort of historic war.

00:03:36.520 Yeah.

00:03:36.760 And, yeah, I don't know.

00:03:38.840 Usually, they don't let even somebody come up to the fence.

00:03:42.860 You know what I mean?

00:03:43.360 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:03:44.520 They have the Iron Dome.

00:03:45.640 They have the guys with machine guns everywhere.

00:03:47.700 They have some of the most, you know, in-depth intelligence in the whole world.

00:03:52.240 Yeah.

00:03:52.780 And then a bunch of guys with paragliders just, like, jump over the – fly over the fence and then start shooting everybody.

00:03:59.020 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:59.920 On the 50th anniversary or something.

00:04:01.540 So, that's kind of, you know, it's not ideal, but I just don't get how they didn't see that coming and didn't stop it.

00:04:07.560 I agree.

00:04:08.240 But, obviously, the Jews versus the Muslims is a tale as old as time. 0.97

00:04:12.600 Yeah.

00:04:13.220 It's a rivalry.

00:04:13.840 They go back.

00:04:14.580 They go way back.

00:04:15.780 It's a rivalry match.

00:04:16.700 They go back for a while.

00:04:18.260 You're never really going to catch us on the show, warmongering.

00:04:21.760 Exactly.

00:04:22.460 We saw it with Russia-Ukraine. 0.72

00:04:24.560 It's not an ideal situation either, but you're never going to get us saying, we need to go to war.

00:04:28.420 We need to go send our money, send our military or get too involved.

00:04:32.560 You're not going to catch us doing that.

00:04:33.840 Dan Crenshaw, on the other hand.

00:04:34.600 Yeah, we leave that to Mr. Crenshaw, Congressman Crenshaw.

00:04:37.700 We leave that to Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who wants to make it the war of all wars.

00:04:43.140 Great, Dan.

00:04:43.480 He had a tweet about it.

00:04:44.860 Can you have that a read?

00:04:45.500 Yeah, this will not be a fleeting conflict in the Israeli-Palestinian saga.

00:04:48.960 This looks like it will be the war to end all wars.

00:04:51.840 It's different this time, and it needs to be clear to Hamas and the Iranian Ayatollah and all their other proxies that this was a severe miscalculation.

00:04:59.460 They need to be defeated.

00:05:00.780 All their proxies, Dan.

00:05:02.580 That's a lot.

00:05:03.240 How many countries are we going to be in, Dan?

00:05:05.100 That's a lot.

00:05:05.680 That's going to keep us busy.

00:05:06.880 That's expensive.

00:05:07.580 A lot of people are calling for war and warmongering.

00:05:12.380 Go fight.

00:05:13.280 Go.

00:05:13.960 Join up.

00:05:14.720 Oh, you're too old?

00:05:15.480 Send your kids. 0.52

00:05:16.200 Send your sons.

00:05:16.880 Go fight.

00:05:17.520 Russia, Ukraine, want to get involved in that?

00:05:19.140 Go fight.

00:05:19.820 Send all your money if you're not going to go fight or send your sons.

00:05:22.720 Yeah.

00:05:23.240 Just dump some cash over there.

00:05:25.680 And, you know, me, personally, I'm more interested in what's going to happen.

00:05:29.540 I'm an American first, America first guy, American perspective.

00:05:33.600 I see these Israeli-Palestinian beefs popping up all over.

00:05:37.540 San Diego.

00:05:38.840 What are they doing there?

00:05:39.860 Tampa?

00:05:40.640 What?

00:05:40.980 We're doing ethnic beefs in Tampa?

00:05:43.260 Yeah.

00:05:43.940 New York City, L.A., Canada, Europe.

00:05:47.040 Yeah.

00:05:47.760 UK.

00:05:48.560 It's all over the Western world.

00:05:49.700 I saw one in Sydney even.

00:05:51.620 So it's like, huh, this is what we're going to deal with?

00:05:54.820 That's more what I'm concerned with.

00:05:56.080 We've got a lot of these Hamas types, Hamas apologists, a lot of them in America, it seems like.

00:06:04.320 And, frankly, a shocking number on Twitter, the online reaction, a shocking number cheerleading the atrocities, the rapes of civilian women.

00:06:16.020 A lot of people don't really know what's going on.

00:06:18.100 Yeah.

00:06:18.480 And then let alone, oh, hey, thankfully our border's been closed for the last 12 months.

00:06:24.400 Yeah.

00:06:24.900 Nope.

00:06:25.140 Not, not.

00:06:26.380 Bill Malusian had a tweet about that.

00:06:28.440 Can you give it a read?

00:06:29.600 Yeah.

00:06:29.820 Border Patrol arrests of suspects on the FBI's terror watch list at the southern border.

00:06:34.900 You know, Trump era, total of nine or something like that.

00:06:38.760 21, 15, 22, 98, 23, 151 so far.

00:06:44.420 There have also been over 1.5 million known gotaways since start of 2021, enough to fill 16 Rose Bowls.

00:06:51.700 That's a lot.

00:06:52.880 Hope they don't get activated by this.

00:06:55.140 Which I think, unfortunately, is going to be the result.

00:06:58.320 There's going to be a carryover.

00:06:59.820 And I think this could be a theme going into the election as well.

00:07:03.100 World War III was on the agenda for the deep state.

00:07:05.740 And that's what they wanted really bad.

00:07:06.920 And especially in Russia, Ukraine, they couldn't really get it done there.

00:07:10.020 So it's going to get done elsewhere, it seems like.

00:07:13.700 And I'm, like we said, we're not going to warmonger.

00:07:15.980 We're never going to say, oh, we need to go get involved, especially since pretty much every war in history has been started over either a false flag event or for ulterior motives that were not public, made public.

00:07:28.980 You know, 9-11, World War I and II, Gaddafi, that whole situation, what's going on in Ukraine.

00:07:36.200 There's always ulterior motives.

00:07:38.100 And it's not as easy as, oh, good guys versus bad guys.

00:07:41.820 We've got to get involved and help.

00:07:43.160 We're the global good guys.

00:07:44.980 Yeah.

00:07:45.160 I don't have to choose sides because me choosing a side doesn't help Israel in the war they're about to be fighting.

00:07:52.120 Yeah.

00:07:52.280 You know?

00:07:52.580 They have to.

00:07:53.440 They got all the weapons.

00:07:54.340 They're going to fight.

00:07:55.140 They got to fight.

00:07:56.080 They got attacked by some bad guys.

00:07:57.780 They need to go fight.

00:07:58.960 I don't know how I'm involved as a straight white Christian male in America.

00:08:03.000 Yeah.

00:08:03.280 I don't know where I get involved in that.

00:08:05.240 I can do commentary on my podcast.

00:08:07.700 I'm against the rape and murder of innocent civilians.

00:08:10.840 Yeah, I'm against terrorism.

00:08:11.600 Which I saw on those videos.

00:08:14.120 But other than that, good luck in your fight, Israel.

00:08:16.800 Yeah.

00:08:17.220 Israel, don't beat them up.

00:08:18.740 You have a lot of weapons.

00:08:20.060 You are very powerful relative to Palestine. 0.63

00:08:23.700 And I also think it's interesting that there are basically two types of wars that are going to be fought in modern international relations,

00:08:30.840 which is like one group is wars fought on ethnic and religious lines.

00:08:36.460 That's Israel versus Palestine. 0.99

00:08:39.920 Hamas, rather, I guess, at this point. 0.62

00:08:42.100 And the other is, you know, regional, powerful countries, hegemons, if you will, like Russia, China, the U.S.

00:08:51.100 And the U.S. isn't participating in this.

00:08:52.940 But those regional kind of powerhouses are going to flex their muscles on what their rights are. 0.98

00:08:58.200 Their territorial waters, Ukraine, that was actually us, you know.

00:09:01.880 And then it's funny that those are the two that we've seen pop up, those two exact types of wars.

00:09:07.980 And they get – the runway gets a little greasier when America's weak. 0.74

00:09:12.100 Yeah.

00:09:12.600 And so you see these – people seize their opportunities and go for it.

00:09:16.660 And those are the two types of wars, ethnic and religious lines.

00:09:19.780 And then the powerhouses of the world kind of flexing like, mm, Taiwan's mine.

00:09:24.740 Mm, Ukraine's mine.

00:09:26.240 So – and then, I mean, obviously, we don't – we're not going to a full-scale war with a nuclear power to stop it.

00:09:30.720 Yeah.

00:09:31.380 But it seems like that's what they want.

00:09:32.560 They want a full-blown war before the next election.

00:09:34.840 I think they're going to get it.

00:09:35.880 Yeah.

00:09:36.760 Defense stocks are up.

00:09:38.320 We're filming this Monday.

00:09:39.620 Defense stocks, straight up.

00:09:40.960 Straight up.

00:09:41.620 A good time to buy calls.

00:09:42.920 Well, no.

00:09:43.720 Too late.

00:09:44.160 Yeah, it's too late.

00:09:45.100 Friday was the best time.

00:09:46.120 Friday was the time to buy calls.

00:09:47.420 All right, so that's what's going on in Israel.

00:09:50.320 We'll keep you guys posted there.

00:09:51.760 Let's move on.

00:09:52.860 Like we said, a lot of people coming across the border.

00:09:55.740 How about those gliders, though?

00:09:57.580 That's how you got across?

00:09:58.880 They got in.

00:09:59.540 They just have these little motor gliders.

00:10:01.520 That was crazy.

00:10:02.360 That's like modern warfare. 1.00

00:10:05.500 Call of Duty shit. 0.99

00:10:06.420 Or Fortnite, yeah. 0.99

00:10:06.800 Yeah, I don't even –

00:10:07.320 That's literally what they do in Fortnite.

00:10:08.980 And then, you know, everyone's saying, oh, Joe Biden gave $6 billion to Iran.

00:10:12.400 Yeah.

00:10:12.600 And then $400 for a glider, $400 for a glider, $400 for a glider, $400 for a glider.

00:10:17.700 Is that how it went down?

00:10:18.840 I don't know.

00:10:19.660 All that money.

00:10:20.300 I don't know.

00:10:20.780 I'm not there.

00:10:21.780 Yeah.

00:10:22.240 I'm not from there.

00:10:23.300 Yeah.

00:10:23.660 So I don't really know.

00:10:24.580 I'm not from there and I'm not fully involved.

00:10:26.720 And we have people that hate our country as much as Hamas hates the Jews.

00:10:31.440 And that's who we should be worried about.

00:10:33.060 And also, it's very frustrating to see Congress just get mobilized for, oh, everyone condemns

00:10:41.220 this universally.

00:10:42.460 Of course you condemn it.

00:10:43.580 It's terrorism, you know, right?

00:10:45.460 But southern border, no consensus there.

00:10:49.340 Closed borders, nothing to do there.

00:10:52.300 Or we don't agree there.

00:10:53.980 We can't get on the same page there.

00:10:55.520 But Israel gets attacked and then it's all hands on deck.

00:10:58.920 And oh, what resources do you need?

00:11:00.260 What money do you need?

00:11:01.460 How many times did we, you know, face a divided Congress over funding or for wall funding?

00:11:07.740 Everything.

00:11:08.440 Yeah.

00:11:08.680 But, you know, this one, I guess, is an easier choice.

00:11:11.480 All right, let's move on.

00:11:12.240 Like we said, a lot of people are coming across the border and it's affecting our country. 1.00

00:11:16.040 We have millions of people here illegally. 0.99

00:11:18.160 Eric Adams had an update because obviously New York's getting smoked with all these illegals. 1.00

00:11:22.260 The hotels are full.

00:11:23.280 The budget's running out.

00:11:24.420 And there's people in the streets.

00:11:25.880 Let's see what maybe Eric Adams hopefully has updated his views.

00:11:29.500 You would think so.

00:11:30.480 His stance on this.

00:11:31.420 We believe the borders should remain open.

00:11:35.040 That's the official position of this city.

00:11:37.700 But we have made it clear there should be a decompression strategy that we could properly deal with the volumes that's coming into our city.

00:11:47.300 And no city.

00:11:48.100 Yeah.

00:11:48.460 So no change of thought there.

00:11:52.180 When we have our own issues from people coming across illegally when they do a terrorist attack on us, we can play that Eric Adams clip and go, Eric, here's your.

00:12:00.320 Official stance.

00:12:01.420 The city's official stance.

00:12:02.720 Yeah.

00:12:02.960 Here's your policy in action.

00:12:05.040 Do you want to change your view or what?

00:12:07.500 And then one thing I will say is these coastal voters like New York and L.A. always complain about like, oh, you lost a popular vote, but Trump won 2016.

00:12:16.200 And like we all vote the same.

00:12:18.720 And then Montana has the same amount of senators as us. 0.98

00:12:21.960 And we have five times the people or whatever it is.

00:12:24.480 And it's like, yeah, all the illegals are going to New York and L.A. and San Fran.

00:12:30.960 Good luck.

00:12:31.760 You know, the political move to bus them to the sanctuary cities themselves ended up being a good one as long as they can all get deported in the end.

00:12:41.620 Yeah.

00:12:41.880 That would be a good move, to be honest, because then you'd really start seeing some people voting on it where it's like, oh, yeah, we're in L.A.

00:12:48.440 And we're going to vote, you know, sanctuary city and open the border.

00:12:52.280 OK, cool.

00:12:52.820 Everyone's going to come to L.A.

00:12:54.200 I saw some guys voted for it.

00:12:55.820 Yeah.

00:12:56.020 You're going to get it.

00:12:56.940 Still want it.

00:12:57.560 And you're going to see it change.

00:12:59.260 Still want it.

00:12:59.800 Or do you have enough fentanyl addicts already that these illegals on the street are actually the tipping point? 1.00

00:13:05.900 And also, I saw some border patrol footage, not border patrol, but at the border.

00:13:10.420 People were handing out flyers like San Francisco.

00:13:13.180 Welcome to you.

00:13:13.960 And it's like, what is a sanctuary city?

00:13:15.580 And it spells it out for them.

00:13:16.880 So go goldmine in San Francisco.

00:13:19.740 Good luck.

00:13:21.060 All right.

00:13:21.740 Hillary Clinton.

00:13:22.760 We have an update from her.

00:13:24.100 She had a new clip where she's talking about forced deprogramming the MAGA people.

00:13:28.600 Very strong partisans in both parties in the past.

00:13:32.320 And we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things, gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes.

00:13:39.620 But there wasn't this little tale of extremism waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today.

00:13:49.380 And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure.

00:14:02.640 He's only in it for himself.

00:14:04.520 He's now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions.

00:14:07.720 And when do they break with him?

00:14:10.380 You know, because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.

00:14:17.020 But something needs to happen.

00:14:18.820 A formal deprogramming.

00:14:20.540 How formal, Hillary? 1.00

00:14:21.540 Where?

00:14:22.180 Where?

00:14:22.580 Am I going to get bussed?

00:14:24.240 Is she taking my bus idea?

00:14:25.960 She's threatening you. 0.99

00:14:26.800 And then Jack Posobiec had a great tweet about this as well.

00:14:30.600 He said, Biden delivers MAGA extremism speech.

00:14:33.000 Newsweek reports FBI has set up secret task force targeting MAGA.

00:14:37.020 Hillary calls for MAGA deprogramming centers.

00:14:39.460 Are you paying attention yet?

00:14:40.780 Mao would be proud.

00:14:42.160 Yeah.

00:14:42.560 So get ready for that, everybody.

00:14:44.440 Make sure you move to red states ASAP like we did. 1.00

00:14:47.440 Yeah.

00:14:48.280 You know, deprogramming.

00:14:49.600 Just casual mention of deprogramming.

00:14:51.700 And like no specific details on the policies or like understanding that us humans like the policies that a person can do.

00:15:02.400 You know, it's just like they're a cult.

00:15:05.080 These ideas are extreme and it's like not getting ripped off, closing the border, like ensuring the Second Amendment and like very simple foundational stuff.

00:15:15.240 And she's like, can we just get back to the Uniparty already?

00:15:17.840 Yeah, lowering taxes, closing the border, arresting criminals.

00:15:21.980 We're the extremists.

00:15:23.060 We need to get that out of our head. 1.00

00:15:24.640 She's defending shit that was made up in the last 10 years. 0.99

00:15:28.120 Transgender rights are everyone's rights. 1.00

00:15:30.220 Yeah. 0.99

00:15:30.420 And like, but we're the crazy people.

00:15:32.300 Yeah. 1.00

00:15:32.620 She's doing shit that just got discovered. 1.00

00:15:34.680 Yeah, exactly. 1.00

00:15:35.520 All right, moving on.

00:15:36.400 Make sure you guys use this opportunity to tickle the post, like the video, leave a comment, leave a comment again.

00:15:42.480 Make sure notifications are on.

00:15:44.220 Help us juice the algo.

00:15:45.460 It goes a long way.

00:15:46.180 You guys have been so good in the comments.

00:15:47.840 Yeah.

00:15:48.320 You know what was an Alco juicer from last week?

00:15:51.440 A lot of disagreements.

00:15:52.820 People saying keep the heel of the bread in.

00:15:55.300 Oh, yeah.

00:15:55.840 Everyone was disagreeing with you.

00:15:57.280 They said, no, the bread gets moldy.

00:15:59.020 No, it ruins the integrity of the loaf.

00:16:01.640 Well, enjoy sneaking your hand past that heel then.

00:16:04.200 Yeah.

00:16:04.600 That's all we can tell you.

00:16:05.760 Exactly.

00:16:06.240 And your bread will be fresh, but you'll be digging through. 1.00

00:16:09.600 Like an idiot. 1.00

00:16:10.900 So, enjoy. 1.00

00:16:12.180 All right, let's move on.

00:16:13.320 I saw this thing that was pretty funny.

00:16:15.580 Is it racist?

00:16:17.020 It's basically a meme, but it says, let's play a game.

00:16:20.020 The rules are simple.

00:16:20.960 In a Google search, type in is, insert anything, racist.

00:16:25.700 And see what you get.

00:16:27.440 And basically, everything you type in is, in fact, racist.

00:16:30.360 Yeah, I've done this before on, like, my Instagram story.

00:16:33.600 Hiking is racist.

00:16:35.640 Basically, anything, they make a leap.

00:16:37.340 And this example here is smiling.

00:16:39.040 Is smiling racist?

00:16:40.340 You know that thing, that reflective thing that you do that nobody controls?

00:16:44.200 That babies do?

00:16:45.140 Yeah.

00:16:45.420 Yeah.

00:16:45.580 Into the article, the weird connection between smiling and racism.

00:16:49.900 So, they got something ready for everything.

00:16:51.680 Yeah.

00:16:51.880 There's an article for everything.

00:16:53.960 I want to see some weird ones.

00:16:55.440 I want to see you guys try some weird ones.

00:16:57.200 So, if you get any results that are even funnier than smiling, which is a natural human instinct

00:17:02.660 that babies do.

00:17:03.840 And every race does.

00:17:04.780 Send us that.

00:17:05.800 Yeah.

00:17:06.060 Yeah.

00:17:06.320 Tag us also on Instagram and stuff, and we'll repost it.

00:17:10.260 Also, remember the cop from last week?

00:17:13.060 This is a little bit of an update.

00:17:14.380 Remember the cop for the DUI?

00:17:15.720 Non-binary DUI cop?

00:17:17.060 Yeah.

00:17:17.360 The cop who pulled over the non-binary person and then called her ma'am by accident and then

00:17:21.720 was very polite and kept going.

00:17:23.380 Yeah.

00:17:23.640 The non-binary Native American woman who was driving the wrong way. 0.92

00:17:27.540 Yeah.

00:17:28.080 Who was so drunk, she was driving the wrong way.

00:17:29.960 So, he got kind of in trouble.

00:17:32.520 He had to go to a sensitivity training?

00:17:34.520 Yeah.

00:17:34.700 He got suspended for five days and had to do sensitivity training, we've since learned.

00:17:39.480 For literally saying ma'am for one second and then going, oh, sorry, I'm trying my best.

00:17:44.480 It's not an everyday situation for me.

00:17:47.360 Sensitivity training.

00:17:48.340 All right.

00:17:48.700 Let's move on.

00:17:49.720 Joe Biden's job so far.

00:17:51.780 We had another basically fake jobs numbers report.

00:17:56.160 Yeah.

00:17:56.340 The jobs report was announced on Friday showing 336,000 new jobs.

00:18:01.560 But when you break it down, it's actually not as juicy as that sounds.

00:18:05.760 70,000 plus are government jobs and 151,000 are part-time.

00:18:11.240 Full-time jobs actually went down 22,000.

00:18:14.560 So, if someone has two part-time jobs, Joe Biden could count that as two new jobs.

00:18:19.640 Which, it's not Joe Biden's metric there.

00:18:21.840 But it's-

00:18:22.340 That's what they're doing.

00:18:23.100 That's what they're doing.

00:18:23.620 And they're leading with, oh, we have all these new jobs.

00:18:26.140 And then you actually look into it and it's not many new jobs at all.

00:18:29.180 And it's like the government can create new jobs spending your tax money because the government

00:18:33.940 does whatever they want all the time.

00:18:35.680 And, you know, we're in debt so deep.

00:18:38.440 But, yeah, part-timers and government jobs.

00:18:41.080 That's all that's left.

00:18:42.600 Business is not exactly booming.

00:18:44.600 And people are obviously struggling.

00:18:45.940 So, they're taking out multiple jobs.

00:18:47.760 So, it's like not only is it not true, it's the opposite.

00:18:52.180 We're like, oh, we have all these new jobs.

00:18:53.280 Things are going great.

00:18:54.380 Oh, that sounds pretty good.

00:18:55.560 Maybe the truth is somewhere in there.

00:18:57.160 Maybe, you know, it's only pretty good.

00:18:59.780 No, it's actually the opposite where things are so bad, people are taking out multiple

00:19:02.900 jobs and we're counting both of them as jobs.

00:19:05.560 Yep.

00:19:06.020 They're both minimum wage. 1.00

00:19:07.620 That's the sick shit that they do. 1.00

00:19:09.440 But Biden is doing a good job diversifying his cabinet. 1.00

00:19:14.380 Well, twinkifying, I would say.

00:19:16.200 Twinkifying is a better word for it. 0.95

00:19:18.740 This is a Libs of TikTok tweet.

00:19:20.360 It says, is this the return to normalcy we kept hearing about from the Biden admin?

00:19:24.360 Yeah.

00:19:24.740 And so, there's a new twink.

00:19:25.820 There's new twinks.

00:19:26.580 There's a new twink on the bottom right.

00:19:28.040 Yeah.

00:19:28.180 Some non-binary type, gender fluid type.

00:19:30.520 Yeah.

00:19:30.860 He's good.

00:19:31.540 Yeah.

00:19:31.900 He's good.

00:19:32.780 He's limber.

00:19:33.560 Yeah.

00:19:33.860 I like these guys.

00:19:34.940 Yeah.

00:19:35.280 So, this is a return to normalcy we were promised.

00:19:37.460 All right.

00:19:37.900 Part-time jobs and twinks.

00:19:39.620 Enjoy your life. 0.99

00:19:40.920 No money and everyone's gay. 1.00

00:19:42.720 Yeah. 0.99

00:19:43.200 Good luck.

00:19:44.420 Oh, we're at war too.

00:19:45.740 Soon.

00:19:46.180 That comes next week when we formally declare something.

00:19:48.820 Exactly.

00:19:49.560 All right.

00:19:50.320 We have a little bit of a conspiracy theory here.

00:19:53.840 Rob DeSantis.

00:19:55.020 Yeah.

00:19:55.240 Is he wearing high heel shoes?

00:19:59.260 It's been all over the internet.

00:20:00.740 Here, we're going to play this video with no audio, but he's got the little boots.

00:20:04.680 And then you see the painting of kind of how it would look.

00:20:07.280 And then here's the key.

00:20:09.280 The crease.

00:20:09.860 The crease where the toe goes up, that means his toe's not at the end of the shoe.

00:20:15.760 That means his toe's right here and it's on an angle like this and then the toe goes up.

00:20:20.220 So, that's proof.

00:20:21.200 And I'm going to tell you guys this.

00:20:22.140 I'm going to be honest.

00:20:22.980 Yeah.

00:20:23.220 I was a guy who stuffed my shoes.

00:20:26.740 This is my favorite one.

00:20:28.000 Look at this.

00:20:29.540 It looks like a lady. 1.00

00:20:30.900 I'm a guy who stuffed my boots in high school.

00:20:34.280 Yeah.

00:20:34.780 For college football recruiting reasons, coaches would come in, take me out of class, and I went from 6'1 to 6'3.

00:20:42.140 Yeah.

00:20:42.540 By stuffing about two inches of heel things in my boots.

00:20:46.260 That's actually standard, too.

00:20:47.840 Like, not the stuffing in, but every recruit on the sideline of a college football visit is wearing Timberlands for some reason.

00:20:54.180 Yeah.

00:20:54.520 It's like George Costanza trying to get the extra inch.

00:20:56.500 So, that's what I did, too.

00:20:58.260 And I know the game and it worked.

00:21:00.240 And the thing was, the key giveaway is the front of the shoe is maxed out because your foot's in there and pushing up.

00:21:08.400 So, the front's pushed tight, and then the toe points up because your toes aren't all the way in.

00:21:13.820 Yeah.

00:21:14.000 And that's exactly what we're seeing with Ron DeSantis.

00:21:16.300 The shoe itself probably adds an inch or two, and then these heels add another four inches. 0.96

00:21:20.860 He's adding five inches to his height to go from 5'5 to 5'10.

00:21:25.680 That's where I'm not going to make any assessments.

00:21:28.600 But this post has been fact-checked by True American Patriots with a rings true.

00:21:33.880 Yeah.

00:21:34.440 This rings true to True American Patriots. 0.98

00:21:37.560 I guess this is advice from his gay influencer mafia, maybe. 0.99

00:21:41.240 Well, I won't go there. 0.99

00:21:42.900 Maybe you should wear high heels. 1.00

00:21:44.380 Yeah.

00:21:44.740 Maybe wear heels. 0.93

00:21:46.100 Yeah.

00:21:46.460 You know?

00:21:47.100 That rings true as well.

00:21:48.980 They already gave him the advice, like, oh, maybe run as a MAGA candidate against the guy who invented MAGA.

00:21:54.380 Yeah.

00:21:55.180 Maybe throw some heels on.

00:21:56.920 That should work.

00:21:58.180 That could work.

00:22:00.000 So, that's what happened there.

00:22:01.420 I don't want, you know, the jury's still out.

00:22:03.300 I don't want to get a defamation situation.

00:22:05.000 Oh, it's in a rings true scenario, which doesn't, there's no confirmation or denial.

00:22:09.140 Guns to my, gun to my head, he's wearing heels for sure.

00:22:12.300 Yeah. 0.99

00:22:12.760 I bet everything on it.

00:22:15.020 But just be a little, be a slightly shorter guy.

00:22:17.800 Yeah.

00:22:18.220 Wear it proudly.

00:22:19.060 But, you know.

00:22:19.760 He played baseball at Yale.

00:22:21.620 I know.

00:22:22.020 Which means he's something.

00:22:23.140 He's a good athlete.

00:22:24.140 Yeah.

00:22:24.320 You're just a little guy.

00:22:25.320 That's fine.

00:22:26.080 Yeah.

00:22:26.240 But once you start wearing high heels and walking on your toes, it's kind of like, what's this guy trying to sell me?

00:22:31.560 Yep.

00:22:32.020 All right.

00:22:32.260 Let's move on.

00:22:33.060 We have some Taylor Swift updates.

00:22:35.620 So, Taylor Swift, obviously, last week went to that Jets game.

00:22:38.840 And then we're finding out that it's actually an SEO trick, a search engine optimization.

00:22:44.560 You know SEO when you Google something.

00:22:46.340 Yeah.

00:22:46.660 The rankings on Google.

00:22:47.920 Like there's a restaurant titled, Restaurant Near Me.

00:22:51.100 Yeah.

00:22:51.300 So, they get all the juice from that SEO.

00:22:53.440 Smart, yeah.

00:22:54.260 So, Thai place near me.

00:22:55.900 It can work in many fashions.

00:22:57.100 That's a good name.

00:22:57.820 Yeah.

00:22:58.120 That's smart.

00:22:58.780 I know.

00:22:59.240 So, Taylor Swift had some bad articles about how she has two private Jets. 0.96

00:23:04.720 And she's not really an advocate for climate change. 0.99

00:23:07.580 She's a hypocrite, et cetera. 1.00

00:23:09.340 And then people are saying she went to the Jets game. 0.99

00:23:11.620 So, now when you type in Taylor Swift Jets, all the info that comes up is the Jets football game.

00:23:17.060 It's football picks.

00:23:18.080 Instead of her private jet.

00:23:20.100 Her rampant private jet use.

00:23:21.860 Her rampant private jet use.

00:23:22.820 And then Olivia Wilde or something.

00:23:24.280 This is kind of why we had this conversation off.

00:23:26.380 We're not normally the Taylor Swift guys, right?

00:23:28.700 Oh, no.

00:23:29.200 But Olivia Wilde was like, I wish Taylor Swift was in love with a climate scientist.

00:23:33.160 You know?

00:23:33.360 She had to virtue signal to her people. 0.94

00:23:35.480 So, it took a shot, right?

00:23:36.840 We're, you know, we're fair.

00:23:38.540 We're reasonable guys. 0.99

00:23:39.980 I'm not going to come out and say, oh, Taylor Swift's a hypocrite. 0.99

00:23:42.640 Because climate change is made up. 0.97

00:23:44.100 Yeah.

00:23:44.900 Exactly.

00:23:45.300 So, she's actually right.

00:23:46.880 And then she uses her private jets. 0.99

00:23:48.820 She should use her private jets. 1.00

00:23:50.380 She's rich as fuck. 1.00

00:23:51.300 Have you ever seen her go anywhere and shut stuff down? 1.00

00:23:53.920 If you're in the same airport as Taylor Swift, the whole airport's fucked. 1.00

00:23:58.360 It's fucked up. 1.00

00:23:59.140 It's a nightmare. 1.00

00:24:00.080 You're getting mobbed.

00:24:01.080 You might get, like, squished.

00:24:02.940 Yeah.

00:24:03.700 You can get trampled every single time.

00:24:05.740 And she flies, like, 100 times a year. 0.99

00:24:07.520 Taylor Swift can't fly Delta.

00:24:09.360 Yeah.

00:24:09.780 Jeff Bezos can't fly Delta.

00:24:12.160 Yeah.

00:24:12.340 There are certain people who need to fly private.

00:24:15.320 Donald Trump can't fly Delta.

00:24:16.880 Yeah.

00:24:17.280 You know what I mean?

00:24:18.140 Yeah.

00:24:18.420 It's all made up.

00:24:18.580 These people would get mobbed.

00:24:20.000 And what are you expecting them to do?

00:24:21.280 Oh, get in first class and I'll wait at the front and take a picture with everybody

00:24:25.180 on the plane.

00:24:26.400 And there's, like, yeah.

00:24:27.180 You'll be four hours late.

00:24:28.520 Yeah.

00:24:28.880 And there's, like, a million flights a day and you need her to not fly on her plane. 0.73

00:24:32.840 Let her do what she wants. 0.99

00:24:33.840 Let her do what she wants. 0.99

00:24:34.700 And, like, if she goes out against climate change or any of those people are super-duper 1.00

00:24:38.460 climate change-y, then it's like, all right, fuck off. 1.00

00:24:41.240 Yeah. 1.00

00:24:41.440 You're stupid. 1.00

00:24:42.080 Yeah, right? 1.00

00:24:42.500 Like, you're doing this.

00:24:44.260 Climate change can't be one of your pet projects.

00:24:46.740 You can do abandoned dogs.

00:24:48.360 Yeah.

00:24:48.680 You can fly private and do abandoned dogs as your charity of choice.

00:24:51.300 You can fly private and feed the poor, feed the hungry.

00:24:54.260 Mm-hmm.

00:24:54.640 That's great.

00:24:55.360 That jives.

00:24:56.660 But, yeah.

00:24:57.480 You know who they should go after if they really cared?

00:25:00.020 The super-rich guys who are unknown who fly private.

00:25:02.880 Yeah.

00:25:03.320 They don't get mobbed at the airport.

00:25:04.680 The yacht people.

00:25:05.720 Right?

00:25:06.160 Yeah.

00:25:06.380 Yeah.

00:25:06.600 So, but obviously-

00:25:08.600 We, on this show, defend Taylor Swift and other super-duper famous people's right to fly

00:25:12.680 private as long as you don't lecture us about climate change after.

00:25:16.860 And that's why you work so hard, so you can not be around the riffraff in normal people. 1.00

00:25:21.120 That's the added bonus.

00:25:22.520 Yeah.

00:25:22.960 The riffraff.

00:25:23.680 Imagine never having to deal with riffraff. 1.00

00:25:25.380 No security.

00:25:26.380 Oh, yeah.

00:25:26.520 You just hop on the plane.

00:25:27.660 That's the way.

00:25:28.360 So, I'm happy for her.

00:25:29.680 And, obviously, climate change is a deep state money and power grab.

00:25:33.140 Yeah.

00:25:33.680 Duh.

00:25:34.240 Everyone knows that.

00:25:35.280 There's a funny meme.

00:25:36.140 Doctor, I'm depressed because of the weather in 30 years.

00:25:39.040 And the doctor said, have you tried super-gluing yourself to the street?

00:25:42.040 That's the basic, that's basically what's going on with climate activists right now.

00:25:45.780 And we have-

00:25:46.620 That's their only move.

00:25:47.460 Yeah.

00:25:47.880 Or put paint bucket on a painting that has a glass covering over it.

00:25:52.020 Yeah.

00:25:52.360 So, that doesn't even work.

00:25:53.580 Yeah.

00:25:53.840 That's their action.

00:25:54.740 That's how they get stuff done.

00:25:56.540 And then Mimetic Sisyphus, who's our consigliere.

00:25:59.500 We had this funny meme last week of the boys, Mimetic Fleckus and Richard Rappaway blowing

00:26:03.780 off some steam after another great show.

00:26:06.160 That's us.

00:26:07.060 Yep.

00:26:07.420 I'm Tony.

00:26:08.500 Yep.

00:26:08.680 Which one would you be out of the next two?

00:26:10.040 I'd be Christopher.

00:26:10.920 Well, the consigliere is sill.

00:26:12.540 He's consigliere.

00:26:13.920 So, I'm Christopher.

00:26:15.080 So, I'm dead.

00:26:16.080 Yeah.

00:26:16.300 But Mimetic Sisyphus has some great points about climate change too, basically where it's

00:26:22.500 like, if they really wanted to reduce the emissions, they would just do nuclear.

00:26:27.140 Yeah, of course.

00:26:28.020 So, it's a little bit of reading, but Rappaway is going to read these tweets.

00:26:31.260 It's actually important.

00:26:32.100 Between 40 to 60% of the U.S. greenhouse emissions come from electricity.

00:26:36.780 It would take around 800 nuclear reactors to account for the U.S.'s yearly consumption.

00:26:42.260 That's a price tag of around $1.6 trillion, or roughly the same price as the Inflation

00:26:46.740 Reduction Act.

00:26:47.880 Just a reminder, they could cut emission by half tomorrow without you ever having to alter

00:26:52.060 your lifestyle.

00:26:53.060 They won't because environmentalism is all about changing how you live, not the environment.

00:26:57.480 Yeah, exactly.

00:26:58.620 And there's a follow-up right here.

00:27:00.980 On average, new nuclear plants become profitable after 16 years of operation.

00:27:05.180 They last around 40 years.

00:27:06.700 So, that's over 20 years of profit-making from each facility.

00:27:09.320 So, even if you disagree with a sticker price, that doesn't matter because some of these

00:27:13.240 directly pay for themselves, and then some.

00:27:16.200 And last thing, I think we got it all.

00:27:19.160 Yeah.

00:27:19.600 I mean, that's the gist.

00:27:20.880 That's the gist.

00:27:21.440 You can argue specifics of that on whether or not it costs that much or different aspects

00:27:27.280 of it or how much output it actually produces.

00:27:29.940 But the point is, they don't even care.

00:27:32.040 If they cared, there'd be at least a pilot program.

00:27:34.780 We're going to try two nuclear reactors in the Pacific Northwest, and then we'll reassess

00:27:39.100 and see how it goes.

00:27:39.860 Nobody's even trying.

00:27:40.720 In fact, they're shutting them down.

00:27:42.320 It's just a behavior and people and money and power control. 0.99

00:27:46.880 It's another one of those, which is Taylor's oldest time.

00:27:50.160 All right, let's move on.

00:27:51.200 Taylor Swift can't fly Delta, guys.

00:27:52.900 I don't know what you want. 0.97

00:27:54.340 It would ruin the whole fucking, the entire, people would run from all the gates. 0.99

00:27:58.720 They'd mob her. 1.00

00:27:59.580 Yeah. 1.00

00:27:59.820 And there'd be like all these people near her, smell like shit. 1.00

00:28:03.340 Smell like shit. 1.00

00:28:04.320 Dirty hands, touching her. 1.00

00:28:05.680 Touching her. 0.99

00:28:06.540 Getting too close.

00:28:07.460 God forbid. 1.00

00:28:08.080 When you become that rich, street rat. 0.99

00:28:10.600 And famous. 0.99

00:28:11.680 Street rat slides over.

00:28:13.340 Yeah.

00:28:13.760 So now it's like.

00:28:14.380 You might be a street rat to Taylor Swift.

00:28:15.780 100%. 1.00

00:28:16.080 You're dirty. 1.00

00:28:16.640 You got to stay in here somewhere. 1.00

00:28:17.860 Yeah.

00:28:18.400 Yeah.

00:28:18.980 Anyone on the plane is a street rat compared to Taylor Swift.

00:28:21.680 Exactly.

00:28:22.260 So it's like, we need my own plane.

00:28:23.800 Mm-hmm.

00:28:24.260 Okay.

00:28:25.220 Let's move on.

00:28:25.920 Miss Thailand. 0.61

00:28:27.120 We got bad news.

00:28:28.200 We got good news and bad news.

00:28:29.820 Yeah.

00:28:30.300 The good news is Miss Thailand is trans. 0.91

00:28:33.320 Yeah.

00:28:34.040 Or I don't know this. 0.99

00:28:35.720 I don't keep track of all the shit, but we're seeing more and more trans people. 1.00

00:28:40.040 And I think Miss Universe is coming up and there's going to be like four trans. 0.99

00:28:43.160 Yeah.

00:28:43.420 So Miss Universe is coming up.

00:28:45.280 And we're in the prelims.

00:28:46.420 And we're in the prelims.

00:28:47.740 Thailand, if there's going to be a country that has trans Miss Universe, it should be Thailand. 0.94

00:28:54.160 They've been doing it a long time before the West even was. 0.64

00:28:57.300 They've been doing it forever.

00:28:58.700 However, the lady boys, we all know how that works. 0.59

00:29:01.660 Of course, if anyone's going to-

00:29:03.600 Well, we all know.

00:29:04.780 Well, you know, you go to Thailand.

00:29:05.920 We know they exist.

00:29:06.760 Yeah.

00:29:06.960 You have your buddy.

00:29:07.800 He's like, oh, he went to Thailand for two weeks.

00:29:09.340 It's kind of like, oh.

00:29:10.440 Okay.

00:29:10.960 What was he doing?

00:29:11.800 What happened?

00:29:12.220 Oh, he went with his friends.

00:29:13.840 They like to party.

00:29:15.080 Like, oh, okay.

00:29:17.160 Like, you know what they're up to.

00:29:18.600 Yeah.

00:29:19.120 I don't go to Thailand.

00:29:20.180 That's a red flag.

00:29:21.080 It's a red flag.

00:29:21.940 But if anyone's going to have a trans participant in the Miss Universe contest, it should be Thailand. 1.00

00:29:27.320 We're fair guys.

00:29:28.420 We're fair.

00:29:29.040 And if they did, I wouldn't get mad.

00:29:30.540 I'd go, well, that makes sense.

00:29:31.700 Okay.

00:29:31.900 That's the one country that it might actually-

00:29:33.840 Okay.

00:29:34.660 50% of the ladies there may be lady boys or whatever the percentage is. 0.99

00:29:38.600 Yeah.

00:29:38.700 But instead of going with a trans person, they went with a person with no legs. 0.94

00:29:42.320 They went with a trans no legs person. 1.00

00:29:44.200 Oh, it is trans too?

00:29:46.720 And here it is.

00:29:47.880 Miss Trans Thailand. 0.92

00:29:49.260 Oh, this might be Miss Trans Thailand. 0.87

00:29:51.140 We might have misinterpreted this.

00:29:52.580 They might all be lady boys. 1.00

00:29:54.060 Okay.

00:29:54.360 So they're all lady boys, and then they let the winner be the one with no legs. 0.99

00:29:58.120 Because they need to level it up.

00:29:59.720 If they're all lady boys and they start with all being lady boys, what's the X factor? 1.00

00:30:03.960 The point remains the same.

00:30:06.460 You can't just be a normal-

00:30:07.960 You can't be a normal trans. 1.00

00:30:09.420 You can't be a normal lady, boy. 1.00

00:30:11.220 You have to be severely disabled. 0.98

00:30:13.920 So that's what they're doing in Thailand.

00:30:17.120 Yeah.

00:30:17.520 But be prepared for Miss Universe to be fully trans from one of these countries. 0.92

00:30:21.820 All right.

00:30:22.340 Let's move on.

00:30:23.920 We don't do shout outs on Friday, but I actually did forget one.

00:30:27.220 Happy birthday to Kitty.

00:30:29.120 It was her birthday on October 2nd, and we missed it.

00:30:31.860 Her and her daughter watched the show.

00:30:33.260 Oh, nice.

00:30:34.040 So happy birthday.

00:30:34.880 Say happy birthday.

00:30:35.460 Happy birthday, but seven days late.

00:30:38.520 Yeah.

00:30:38.900 I missed it last week.

00:30:40.840 Yeah.

00:30:41.100 All right.

00:30:41.380 Last piece of housekeeping.

00:30:43.000 We have an update.

00:30:43.980 People with entertaining talents or PETs or pets.

00:30:47.380 We have a new one.

00:30:48.840 This guy, I don't know if you can believe it.

00:30:50.600 He does voice impressions.

00:30:54.520 Well, do you believe I can make a voice impressions like this?

00:31:03.240 Pokemon, I choose you!

00:31:05.740 One, two, three, four, five, five, four, three, two, one.

00:31:21.500 That's good.

00:31:22.800 You hear he does the Ash Ketchum voice and Michael Jackson right after? 0.88

00:31:26.900 Crazy.

00:31:27.580 That's why Taylor Swift needs to fly private. 1.00

00:31:30.500 She can't be around this type of fucking guy. 1.00

00:31:32.100 That is a person with an entertaining talent, a P-E-T, or pet. 1.00

00:31:37.800 Yeah.

00:31:38.280 That's a new pet I've been watching, and he's been very, very rewarding.

00:31:44.660 All right.

00:31:45.320 Let's get out of here.

00:31:47.740 We have another message from one of our sponsors, and we're going to move on to Cringe of the Week.

00:31:51.840 Guys, this week's episode is brought to you by our friends over at Allegiance Gold.

00:31:56.320 As a lot of you know, we are teetering on the brink of an economic meltdown that's threatening to wash away your savings and retirement.

00:32:03.980 Inflation has surged to levels unseen in 40 years.

00:32:06.900 Prices are spiraling out of control.

00:32:08.780 Our money buys less and less, and Americas are incurring more debt just to stay afloat.

00:32:13.880 Gasoline prices are spiking, and your monthly bills are escalating.

00:32:17.320 This is what inflation is, that silent evil force that eats away your wallet and purchasing power.

00:32:22.360 Basic necessities are now unattainable luxuries, and when prices spiral out of control, they not only disrupt your ability to live day to day, they also jeopardize your savings and retirement.

00:32:33.140 You can't let this happen.

00:32:34.740 Protect your retirement with gold.

00:32:36.620 Gold is the smartest and most responsible investment you can make for you and your family.

00:32:41.340 It's a safe haven asset that protects your purchasing power and your wallet from inflation.

00:32:45.620 It's just financially smart for all of us to diversify our retirement accounts with gold and protect what we've worked so hard for.

00:32:52.700 When it comes to protecting your IRA or 401k, I would only trust the best, my friends at Allegiance Gold.

00:32:58.680 Get up to $5,000 in free silver on qualifying purchases when you visit protectwithfleckis.com today, or give them a call at 844-4-FLECKA.

00:33:09.000 That's 844-435-3222.

00:33:15.620 All right, moving on.

00:33:23.580 Yeah, it's always important to have physical gold, Richard, especially now with the world pretty much ending.

00:33:29.600 It's going to be like a huge reset and technology is going to go away, and then all we're going to have is the gold you bought from Allegiance Gold to trade, and then ammo.

00:33:37.920 That'll be gold, too.

00:33:38.780 This is what I do when you cue me up.

00:33:43.160 All right.

00:33:43.920 Just nod my head.

00:33:44.500 First clip of cringe. 0.98

00:33:46.000 The cis allies are transphobic.

00:33:48.240 If you are told that something you're doing is transphobic, it is not your job to try to prove that it's not.

00:33:54.180 You are going to mess up.

00:33:55.800 It is guaranteed.

00:33:57.220 If you are told information and you immediately reject it and go, nope, that doesn't fit my view of what transness means, you are not going to be able to show up as an ally because all you're worried about is what you think and you feel about an experience that's not yours.

00:34:10.720 It's going to be uncomfortable, it's going to be confusing, and it's going to mean that you are going to have to evaluate how gender is seeped into society, how it has affected and shaped your life, how cishet normativity.

00:34:22.100 So basically, if you're ever in a conflict with a trans person, they have credibility and you don't because you don't know their experience.

00:34:30.560 Tie goes to the trans person. 1.00

00:34:31.820 Tie goes to the trans person, exactly. 0.94

00:34:34.100 And this kind of gives them the ability to manipulate everybody.

00:34:37.400 Yeah, it's kind of a take my word for it sort of thing.

00:34:40.120 And not only is it like, well, my opinion is valid and so is yours, they're actually correcting the person they're talking to.

00:34:47.600 So it's like my credibility actually is low because I'm being corrected and I'm not correct about something.

00:34:53.880 And then the trans person's lived experience, that's actually where the value is.

00:34:58.160 So they're the correctors, which is kind of the dynamic they want in sports and politics and schools, Hollywood, everywhere.

00:35:06.180 They want it to be the people, the straight people, the normal people.

00:35:10.540 You guys need to take a back seat and get quiet and start listening to what these trans people have to say because they're the ones who are actually more progressive in society and thinking further ahead.

00:35:20.360 And you're the one who needs to change your behavior because you're thinking like in an old way of thinking.

00:35:25.340 And even if it doesn't make sense, you have to just take their word for it, right?

00:35:29.960 Yeah.

00:35:30.240 That's kind of the principle. 0.99

00:35:31.260 And it's like, no, if you touch my trans dick, I'm actually a woman, so that's not gay. 1.00

00:35:36.720 And then you like make them do it. 0.99

00:35:38.560 It's kind of like a pressure thing.

00:35:40.180 It's like, no, trust me, I'm the lived experience one.

00:35:43.080 You don't know.

00:35:43.940 Yeah. 1.00

00:35:44.380 So it's like kind of setting them up for some sexual assault type shit. 0.99

00:35:47.560 Yeah. 0.99

00:35:48.180 It does seem like that. 1.00

00:35:49.460 And they're the ones with the experience, the guy in the dress or the guy with the mascara, and I'm stupid. 1.00

00:35:55.140 Yeah. 0.99

00:35:55.440 I'm just a normal guy.

00:35:57.280 And this actually doesn't translate to anything else.

00:35:59.740 Like you don't have that right as a straight white male.

00:36:02.660 Yeah.

00:36:02.860 You don't have a lived experience that supersedes anybody else's.

00:36:06.440 So it's just a one-way trans street as they like it, right? 1.00

00:36:10.000 Yeah. 0.95

00:36:10.220 I'm just a boring white guy. 0.96

00:36:12.240 And you have to listen to the trans person even with nothing, even if they just became trans yesterday. 1.00

00:36:18.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:36:18.920 And then also with this, like the whole identity conversation, I spoke to Mimetic Sisyphus about this.

00:36:24.840 He said, it's weird that one side, like the right wing, for example, their identity becomes like what their accomplishments are.

00:36:31.900 So I'm a husband, I'm a father, I'm a Christian, I'm a businessman.

00:36:36.000 Actions.

00:36:36.520 It's actions.

00:36:37.280 It's based on stuff that you had to work for and accomplish.

00:36:40.060 And then for the left, their identity is just like, oh, I'm weird.

00:36:44.680 I'm trans.

00:36:45.960 They can snap into it like really quick.

00:36:47.820 And it's like, I just made it.

00:36:49.200 I just said it.

00:36:50.080 And it's stuff they don't have to work for.

00:36:51.920 And then with their identity comes like this automatic war where, oh, you're a trans person? 0.83

00:36:56.700 Well, your enemies are the right wing.

00:36:58.940 Transphobes.

00:36:59.400 Yeah, transphobes.

00:37:00.440 And your allies, oh, those are going to be Democrats and intersectional and BLM. 0.70

00:37:05.520 Those are your allies.

00:37:06.360 And your enemies are these guys.

00:37:07.380 Your allies are these guys.

00:37:08.660 And like when you have this identity, it's a plug and play situation.

00:37:12.060 You get your identity and then you're like in a war now.

00:37:15.660 And then the right wing is more subtle and respectable where it's just like, oh, yeah,

00:37:19.300 my identity is like things I've built over time or worked for or become.

00:37:23.960 And it's interesting you say that because there's also more varied opinions on the right wing.

00:37:27.340 Like, oh, I'm more of a libertarian in that thing.

00:37:29.520 And, oh, I'm super pro-Israel.

00:37:31.720 I'm this guy who – I'm a neocon who wants to go to war right now.

00:37:34.720 I'm Lindsey Graham.

00:37:35.660 I'm Dan Crenshaw.

00:37:37.060 But like as opposed to the left where it's like lockstep on a lot of that ideology.

00:37:42.280 Yeah, exactly.

00:37:43.300 And then when you put these people in charge, that's kind of why they put trans people in schools, I think,

00:37:48.080 because it's like the trans person's job to decolonize the schools because that person has a unique lived experience

00:37:54.260 and needs to change the way things were so people with that same experience in the future have less backlash or whatever.

00:38:01.100 Like that's the justification for inserting trans people into everything. 1.00

00:38:04.780 Of course. 1.00

00:38:05.320 And then they start doing dumb shit like this next piece. 1.00

00:38:09.680 Picnic is a racist term. 0.99

00:38:12.320 Yeah, this was a – Boyd Law UNLV is scheduled to have a picnic event.

00:38:18.320 This week they sent out a notice that they changed the name of the event to Lunch by the Lake because the word picnic is offensive.

00:38:24.300 They also apologized for the harm or discomfort they caused by using the word picnic.

00:38:28.940 So I'm assuming that picnic is a racist term because those who picnic are pic-nickers.

00:38:37.040 Oh.

00:38:38.500 No, that's not why.

00:38:39.960 Is that not why?

00:38:41.160 No.

00:38:41.580 Okay.

00:38:42.740 Oops.

00:38:43.940 Never mind.

00:38:45.180 Well, what is the –

00:38:45.940 Can we clip that?

00:38:46.540 Can someone clip that?

00:38:48.480 So that's not why it's racist?

00:38:50.160 No, and it turns out it's actually not even racist.

00:38:52.300 I think people got confused and had many of the same thoughts that you just did, bouncing around their head.

00:38:59.120 But it comes from like a French word like picnic, which means like small foods or something.

00:39:04.260 Have you been a picnic?

00:39:05.580 Which is so funny because these guys, this environmental law society, they canceled it and sent out a big email changing the name of it before they just Googled it.

00:39:15.680 You know what I mean?

00:39:16.720 Classy.

00:39:16.820 Before they just go, is picnic really racist and find an article, they just go, oh, we'll change it to like lunch by the lake.

00:39:22.920 It's kind of like a trans person in the office like this is a racist term.

00:39:25.680 They go, what do we say?

00:39:26.560 What do we do?

00:39:27.220 Tell me what the email should say.

00:39:29.000 We'll send it right now.

00:39:30.080 Exactly.

00:39:30.720 That's a hostage scenario.

00:39:33.040 Yeah.

00:39:33.360 So let's move on.

00:39:35.200 Best time to catch kids.

00:39:37.060 Speaking of trans in the schools, this person ran a sex education support group for youths.

00:39:44.000 Yeah, director of education for High Tops, an LGBTQ nonprofit focused on bringing queer theory and gender ideology into schools.

00:39:51.840 Smart.

00:39:52.500 So that's my enemy.

00:39:53.780 Yeah.

00:39:54.100 Let's listen to what they have to say.

00:39:56.620 Most critical time to be there is grades five through eight because you want to catch kids when they're starting puberty because that's the time in which identity formation is central to their lives.

00:40:07.180 However, early intervention is key.

00:40:09.860 So we actually are designing a kindergarten through grade two curriculum this summer.

00:40:16.940 And I will tell you one of the most rewarding experiences, Nikki, we were in a local school system in an elementary school and we were in grades three, four and five.

00:40:28.240 And after we were there, five students went to the principal's office and came out.

00:40:33.980 And so we are really-

00:40:36.180 Is that a confession?

00:40:37.060 Yeah.

00:40:37.900 I feel like in 1990, that would be a confession and someone's wearing a wire and they go, go, go, go.

00:40:43.380 B.I. in the other motel room.

00:40:45.100 We got them.

00:40:45.580 They bust in and we caught you.

00:40:47.180 You admitted it. 0.98

00:40:48.040 You turned those five kids gay. 0.98

00:40:49.840 Yeah. 0.97

00:40:50.140 Oh, man.

00:40:50.880 And how about the word she's using?

00:40:53.060 Catch the kids at puberty.

00:40:55.360 Fifth to eighth grade is the best time to catch them.

00:40:58.000 And LGBT is talking about catching the kids. 0.97

00:41:01.080 Well, let's talk to our PR team before we go out with that message.

00:41:04.720 And it's interesting.

00:41:05.780 Obviously, they say catching them at puberty is good, but early intervention is better, a.k.a. planting the seeds, a.k.a. sexualized and otherwise non-sexual being like a kid, a.k.a. grooming.

00:41:18.240 Do you know how little prepubescent kids think about sex? 0.99

00:41:22.440 Yeah.

00:41:22.860 And then it's all these people want to talk about. 1.00

00:41:25.060 And you get in their ear and start talking about dumb shit. 1.00

00:41:29.680 That's why we have the problems we have now. 1.00

00:41:31.920 Five came out right after you came to school, huh?

00:41:34.480 And how many came out at the control school?

00:41:36.480 Oh, there's no control school? 1.00

00:41:37.800 You're just firing from the hip doing this shit? 1.00

00:41:40.300 Okay. 1.00

00:41:41.040 Jail.

00:41:41.580 And who else do you work with?

00:41:42.880 Would you be willing to rat on them?

00:41:46.380 Yeah.

00:41:46.660 You need to flip them to a bigger fish.

00:41:49.900 Where did you get your info from?

00:41:51.780 This could be a good RICO case. 0.95

00:41:53.180 George Soros is sending you guys money as a group, as a non-profit.

00:41:57.860 Where do you get your funding from?

00:42:00.140 All right.

00:42:00.720 Moving on.

00:42:01.380 Second page of Cringe.

00:42:02.300 Very important Cringe of the Week.

00:42:03.900 Planned Parenthood's getting their touches, too, with the trans kids.

00:42:07.060 Yeah.

00:42:07.580 We knew it was coming.

00:42:09.140 They've been dipping their toe in.

00:42:10.320 It says, Planned Parenthood is helping teenagers transition after a 30-minute consult.

00:42:14.680 Parents and doctors are sounding the alarm.

00:42:17.460 They're trying to catch some kids, too.

00:42:18.860 All right.

00:42:19.440 And so this is like a narrative story about one kid who's going to exemplify how easy it was.

00:42:26.160 But the article starts off with, like many on the autism spectrum, Fred cycles through obsessions and extreme views.

00:42:33.920 He was part of an alt-right group chat as recently as last year, his parents said, but apostatized suddenly and now considers himself far left.

00:42:42.760 So there's a kid who's off the rails both directions, right?

00:42:45.540 Autistic.

00:42:46.520 Let's see what we can cook up.

00:42:48.480 Still, Fred has a few interests that have remained constant throughout his life, all fairly typical for a teenage boy.

00:42:54.200 Guns, power tools, metalworking.

00:42:56.780 That made it all the more shocking when in December 2022, at 17 years old, he announced he was a transgender person.

00:43:04.100 And the revelation came a few months after Fred's best friend, who also has autism, began identifying as transgender.

00:43:09.840 So it's an autism spread by contact.

00:43:15.100 I would call that a vector, that friend.

00:43:17.860 Patient zero, if you will.

00:43:19.500 But he's not, obviously, patient zero.

00:43:22.320 But it blows up the idea that this is just how the people are.

00:43:25.600 Oh, I'm a boy born into the wrong body.

00:43:28.580 I was born into a girl's body.

00:43:30.120 Yeah.

00:43:30.240 Like that idea, I think a lot of people think that's what it is.

00:43:33.240 Like, oh, trans people, they just have a couple wires crossed. 1.00

00:43:35.200 A lot of moderates who don't look into it.

00:43:36.800 Yeah.

00:43:37.140 They just have some wires crossed and they mean well.

00:43:40.040 They just want to be happy.

00:43:41.160 But they're not truly who they are because they're born in the wrong body. 0.97

00:43:44.940 But then you read this and it's like, oh, he became trans after his other autistic friend was trans too.

00:43:51.280 Yeah.

00:43:51.440 So that makes you kind of wonder, is it really, you know, in my DNA or is it kind of-

00:43:57.760 Am I built different or was I convinced of something?

00:44:00.000 Yeah.

00:44:00.500 And then so concerned that this was another phase but open to the possibility that it wasn't, Fred's parents tried to enroll their son, who they were now calling a female name at home, in the gender and autism program at Children's National Hospital, the only gender clinic in the country specializing in autistic youth.

00:44:15.020 Fred was determined to take hormones, they told the clinic, which is known for its lengthy assessments.

00:44:19.580 Before he did, they wanted to be sure his dysphoria wasn't transient or peer-driven, which obviously it was, right?

00:44:28.500 And here's where it gets interesting in the purpose of writing the article.

00:44:32.060 In late July, while his parents were out of town and after he had come of age, so he turns 18, his parents go out of town.

00:44:37.800 Fred went to Planned Parenthood, which prescribes hormones to any legal adult without a letter from a therapist or a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

00:44:44.700 The only requirement is a brief consultation, usually with a nurse practitioner, about the drug's effects, which range from mood swings and male pattern baldness to permanent infertility.

00:44:54.260 How brief?

00:44:55.300 They tracked his phone for this article.

00:44:57.440 Fred arrived at his local clinic on North Fullerton Ave in Montclair, New Jersey at around 11 a.m.

00:45:02.520 According to phone tracking data his parents used to monitor his whereabouts, by 11.39, they received a text message from CVS.

00:45:09.820 Fred's estrogen prescription was on its way.

00:45:12.100 Instead of a months-long evaluation by expert psychiatrists, a nurse practitioner had, in a little over 30 minutes, prescribed their special-needs son a powerful drug without their knowledge or consent. 0.99

00:45:23.260 Darn. 0.98

00:45:24.160 So, and then Fred, he just got that prescription after 30 minutes, right? 1.00

00:45:28.660 Mm-hmm.

00:45:28.960 Just took him 30 minutes from a nurse practitioner.

00:45:31.600 Now, if you're straight, you have to listen to whatever he says.

00:45:35.140 Yeah.

00:45:35.500 Like that first video, right?

00:45:36.660 He just got a lot of leverage.

00:45:37.940 He's got power over you now, and you have to trust his lived experience for the last 45 minutes.

00:45:43.460 Yeah.

00:45:43.920 And even though-

00:45:44.560 And he's autistic. 0.57

00:45:45.400 And he's autistic. 0.57

00:45:46.900 And he's convinced he's a girl, even though he's a boy.

00:45:49.840 And then he was really far left.

00:45:51.660 And then months before that, he was really far right.

00:45:54.800 Yep.

00:45:55.180 But he got it all squared away and figured out his true identity.

00:45:58.500 Now he's on estrogen, and that's the true one.

00:46:01.040 That far right thing was just a phase.

00:46:02.640 This is permanent, however.

00:46:03.760 Yeah.

00:46:04.360 That makes you kind of wonder, is he just like a victim of the MKUltra machine?

00:46:08.560 Pretty much.

00:46:09.220 I mean, I think-

00:46:09.860 And they just try it out.

00:46:10.440 Like, all right, let's try him on the right.

00:46:11.540 And it's like-

00:46:12.380 Well, we call that-

00:46:13.560 Let's go to the left.

00:46:14.200 Yeah.

00:46:15.060 A person like Fred, who's autistic too, I call that a level five susceptible. 1.00

00:46:19.720 Yeah.

00:46:20.060 He's just absolutely target, prime target. 1.00

00:46:22.660 Like me, I'm like fake gay, fake and gay. 0.98

00:46:26.860 Fred's like, well, maybe, maybe, maybe, you know? 0.85

00:46:29.340 And then he gets into it, and his friend's like, I'm doing it.

00:46:31.980 And then, boom, he zapped in MKUltra victim. 0.52

00:46:34.960 Yeah.

00:46:35.520 It makes you want to reject modernity and embrace tradition, as this meme says.

00:46:40.080 Yep.

00:46:40.480 And everyone just needs to get put in a paddy wagon.

00:46:42.260 Padded room for a while.

00:46:43.640 Sweat it out. 1.00

00:46:44.300 I want to cut my body parts off and be a girl. 1.00

00:46:46.280 Oh, yeah, you do? 1.00

00:46:47.180 Yeah.

00:46:47.560 Hop in the back of the wagon.

00:46:48.620 We'll take you to the place.

00:46:49.680 Okay.

00:46:49.960 So what have we learned?

00:46:50.660 You have to listen to trans people at their word.

00:46:53.480 That's it.

00:46:54.460 They can become trans in 30 minutes. 1.00

00:46:57.020 Yep.

00:46:57.580 So you, hey, I could leave this house and come back 40 minutes later, and you're going to

00:47:04.460 have to listen to me if I get the right script.

00:47:06.940 The best time to get these kids is between fifth to eighth grade, but earlier intervention

00:47:10.900 can sometimes be better.

00:47:12.720 And we got five kids at an elementary school, right?

00:47:15.600 So we learned all these things, and it doesn't really add up, right?

00:47:18.800 It's not really sounding like a cohesive argument or an impermeable ideology, right?

00:47:23.980 It doesn't.

00:47:25.060 And then you want to go to this example?

00:47:27.000 Yeah.

00:47:27.660 This is the next example, right?

00:47:28.960 So let's just look at the before picture.

00:47:30.860 This is a guy with his wife, right?

00:47:32.380 Mm-hmm.

00:47:33.040 His late wife, who unfortunately passed away.

00:47:35.700 Rest in peace.

00:47:36.440 And what did this guy do afterwards?

00:47:37.980 Did he process the emotion soundly?

00:47:40.860 He might have had a mental break.

00:47:42.680 He became his wife.

00:47:45.080 Wow.

00:47:45.560 Look at the original photo.

00:47:47.160 He always had it in him.

00:47:48.180 I know.

00:47:48.700 He kind of did have that little fruity smile.

00:47:51.080 That little girl face.

00:47:52.100 And now he's ready to become his wife.

00:47:53.560 So he had some trauma, and he goes, I'm getting a wig.

00:47:55.860 I'm Jessica.

00:47:57.220 So there's like a thing where people aren't processing trauma correctly.

00:48:00.540 And maybe this person 50 years ago would have like dressed up.

00:48:03.560 Drank himself to death or something.

00:48:05.240 Or like dressed up in his wife's clothes in the basement, and no one knew. 1.00

00:48:08.340 And he'd play music and get fucked up. 0.99

00:48:10.280 Yeah. 0.99

00:48:11.000 And now it's, these days there's only one route.

00:48:13.540 Now it's mainstream.

00:48:14.600 Now you're in charge.

00:48:15.840 Yeah.

00:48:15.980 Now you're like, this guy, hey.

00:48:17.560 You got to take his word.

00:48:18.860 Tell us what you want to do.

00:48:20.480 Yeah.

00:48:21.200 All right.

00:48:22.100 Let's go to the last piece of cringe, the Air Force sexual assault thing.

00:48:27.440 Yeah.

00:48:27.620 So all that stuff's normal, right, guys?

00:48:29.240 Yep.

00:48:30.080 And then the Air Force, this was a leak from the Air Force and Space Force Training for Sexual

00:48:34.760 Assault Prevention and Response.

00:48:36.600 They claim that one of the characteristics of a perpetrator of sexual assault is, quote,

00:48:41.680 adherence to traditional gender norms.

00:48:44.940 So.

00:48:45.340 All right.

00:48:45.640 So it says, make it more likely that people will experience your approach.

00:48:48.440 Why are you reading this?

00:48:48.780 I mean.

00:48:49.220 I don't know.

00:48:50.140 I just said it.

00:48:50.960 You don't have to read this.

00:48:52.320 Okay.

00:48:52.620 So it says, perpetrator character.

00:48:55.320 So it says, perpetrator characteristics, friend of acquaintance of victim.

00:49:01.500 Friend of acquaintance of victim?

00:49:03.720 Yeah.

00:49:04.160 Friend or acquaintance of victim.

00:49:05.720 That's a typo from that.

00:49:06.660 I know.

00:49:06.960 That's a typo.

00:49:07.960 Are you.

00:49:08.860 All right.

00:49:09.500 So it says, so it says, all right.

00:49:13.580 Let's, can you look forward?

00:49:15.720 All right.

00:49:16.120 So it says, perpetrator characteristics, friend of acquaintance or victim.

00:49:21.160 All right.

00:49:21.940 So it says, perpetrator characteristics, friend or acquaintance of victim, peer or slightly

00:49:26.260 higher rank, hyper masculine attitudes and adherence to traditional gender norms.

00:49:31.960 So that's who's going to maybe sexually assault you in the Air Force.

00:49:34.760 Yeah.

00:49:35.340 When I would think it would be, oh, maybe it's the guy in the dress who thinks he's a

00:49:39.240 girl who's in your bathroom now. 1.00

00:49:41.140 That's who I would be like, people who don't adhere to traditional gender norms. 1.00

00:49:44.580 Yeah. 1.00

00:49:44.840 The guy who's trying to become his late wife, that fucked up guy. 0.99

00:49:48.020 I think he might be a high risker, but no, it's just straight guys. 0.99

00:49:51.720 Yeah.

00:49:52.040 Your allies are the trans people.

00:49:53.440 Also, we didn't plan to talk about this on the show, but this is kind of something that

00:49:56.320 we had talked about offline, which is women like marrying or going after like a boss or 1.00

00:50:05.120 an indirect boss or something.

00:50:06.920 That's kind of a tale as old as time, right?

00:50:08.800 Of course.

00:50:09.260 And now that's in the Me Too movement has been demonized as, oh, you're in a position

00:50:12.900 of power.

00:50:13.480 You should lose your job right now.

00:50:15.020 And then that job should go to the woman. 1.00

00:50:16.300 But aren't women at fault for that too? 1.00

00:50:20.180 Don't they like a boss or a man in power or something?

00:50:23.880 Isn't that something they get attracted to?

00:50:26.060 Everyone's adults too.

00:50:27.520 Yeah.

00:50:27.720 It's not like it's a teacher student where it's like violently inappropriate.

00:50:30.920 Exactly.

00:50:31.880 Everyone knows what they're doing.

00:50:33.320 Yeah.

00:50:33.520 So the people who are traditional and with their gender norms, that's who you got to

00:50:37.800 watch out for.

00:50:38.680 Not the guy who had a mental break and is now dressing up as his wife.

00:50:41.780 Yeah.

00:50:42.140 All right.

00:51:35.020 All right, let's move on.

00:51:36.040 Urban Decay.

00:51:37.140 Kids in class fighting.

00:51:38.840 We've been covering this every week.

00:51:40.680 I just want to show you what else is going on.

00:51:45.900 There's the teacher in the pink shirt trying to break it up.

00:51:48.520 All right.

00:52:13.340 Poor guy.

00:52:14.180 That teacher was in this school when things were normal, when he started teaching probably 40 years ago.

00:52:20.240 He's old enough to have seen it all.

00:52:22.040 And he goes, this is not normal.

00:52:23.860 And he's going to leave on like, imagine that after all the years, you leave on like the worst terms at the worst time when things are bad.

00:52:31.300 And that's kind of what happened with the World War II veterans.

00:52:33.200 They see America, like they're all close to dying.

00:52:39.180 But they came back from the war.

00:52:40.620 America had like a golden age.

00:52:42.320 Everything was great.

00:52:43.240 And now they're going to die if they're not dead already after seeing like America kind of become the worst it's been since World War II. 0.90

00:52:50.240 Yeah.

00:52:50.800 So it's sad.

00:52:51.820 That's what happens to the teacher.

00:52:53.420 We have an update.

00:52:54.280 And honestly, if you're these teachers, like if you have a classroom where there's a fight and some kids get into it and it's like totally out of the ordinary and some extenuating circumstance that happened, maybe break it up.

00:53:06.480 If you're in this kind of what do you what do you even want to call it?

00:53:10.860 Jungle.

00:53:12.920 Like Joe Biden.

00:53:13.880 That's what Joe Biden called it.

00:53:14.580 Joe Biden called it a racial jungle.

00:53:15.900 He called it a racial jungle.

00:53:16.560 But it's like, you know, these girls who are going to fight and this girl's like five, six and doing like this.

00:53:21.900 It's like, what are you doing?

00:53:23.340 It's like, just let them fight.

00:53:24.640 You have no responsibility to try to civilize people who want to go crazy. 0.97

00:53:30.980 Act like a pit bull. 0.96

00:53:32.400 Exactly.

00:53:33.140 Something like that.

00:53:33.900 They're not acting like normal.

00:53:35.680 It's not rational.

00:53:36.620 They're going to do anything they can to fight each other.

00:53:38.600 So why stand in the middle of it?

00:53:40.140 We have an update from San Francisco.

00:53:42.360 Obviously, San Fran is constantly featured on Urban Decay.

00:53:47.180 Tons of crime, looting, drugs, all the bad stuff.

00:53:49.860 And Erica Sandberg had a tweet.

00:53:52.100 Can you give that a read?

00:53:52.860 She said, warning, we're very close to losing roughly half of our SFPD officers.

00:53:57.140 And soon, ranks are already depleted.

00:53:59.300 This info shouldn't be coming from me, but directly from Mayor London Breed and SFBOS.

00:54:05.600 It will get really ugly around here if they don't find a way to keep officers on the job.

00:54:10.960 And this is something that's happening across the country.

00:54:13.380 Early retirements, low recruiting.

00:54:15.600 People don't want to become a—if there's a nice suburb right outside of San Fran, an officer, a prospective police officer, will do everything he can to go there instead of the city of San Fran.

00:54:27.220 100%.

00:54:27.700 Unless they heavily incentivize via pay or something.

00:54:30.720 So recruits are low.

00:54:31.720 Retires are up. 0.77

00:54:33.120 Retirees are up. 0.95

00:54:34.240 And, you know, it's tough sledding, it's called.

00:54:36.980 Yeah.

00:54:37.480 It's called tough sledding for a reason.

00:54:39.100 There's no reason to be a police officer there, and then the whole industry has been demonized.

00:54:46.380 Yeah.

00:54:46.800 Like, people that do jobs like police officers or firefighters, there's no, like, honor or respect or reverence anymore.

00:54:55.160 Yeah, specifically police more than firefighters.

00:54:57.180 So it's like, why would you, you know?

00:54:59.320 If you had that calling, great, but most people don't.

00:55:02.420 Well, and then it also becomes like, you know, you have this idea of what police work is, and police work is a lot less glamorous.

00:55:10.980 There's—for something that has so many cool TV shows versus the day-to-day of an average cop in the city, that's a big spread, right?

00:55:18.700 Oh, I slid across my car, and I cuffed this guy, and he was the most wanted rapist in town. 1.00

00:55:23.720 And it's like, you're dealing with someone who has no teeth, they're highly addicted to fentanyl, there's shit on their pants. 0.99

00:55:29.840 You know, it's like kind of the most thankless, worst—you're constantly called to the lowest of the low of society. 0.99

00:55:36.000 Firemen, they just go where there's a fire.

00:55:37.740 And there's no— 1.00

00:55:38.380 You go where somebody just beat his wife, some, you know, some crazy shit. 0.97

00:55:41.420 Or there's a street rat breaking stuff in a store, and there's no results where it's like, well, I arrested 10 today, and I'll arrest 10 tomorrow, and by next year, this street will be cleaned up. 0.99

00:55:50.340 It's the same guys over and over.

00:55:51.720 It's decay, decay, decay.

00:55:53.340 So, like, why—if you're a cop, why would you be plugged in and, like, excited about your work?

00:55:58.360 You literally can't be.

00:55:59.620 If you're in a nice suburb, you can actually make a difference, right?

00:56:02.740 This gang is coming in from San Francisco and targeting these nice suburban homes.

00:56:08.080 We're going to put a stop to it.

00:56:09.540 That's an impact, you know?

00:56:11.360 The city life, drug OD babysitter, wearing gloves all the time, possibly getting touched by fentanyl, is not where you want to be these days.

00:56:19.120 So, the recruitment problems, I believe, will continue.

00:56:22.560 Yeah, exactly.

00:56:23.300 All right, let's go on to the next guy who was mad that there was a white homeless person.

00:56:27.520 Listen, okay?

00:56:29.260 I'll give my money to homeless people, all right?

00:56:31.660 If I see a homeless person walking, they need some money.

00:56:34.060 If I have it, I'll give it to them.

00:56:35.240 No problem. 0.97

00:56:36.680 But if you're white and homeless—

00:56:38.900 White and homeless?

00:56:40.700 See, no, I need a little more explanation. 1.00

00:56:42.160 I need a backstory on that because this shit don't even seem real. 0.98

00:56:44.180 So, you mean to tell me y'all had a 400-year hit start here and you still end up dropping the bar? 0.99

00:56:52.120 And now you asking me for money? 1.00

00:56:54.840 Man, get the fuck— 1.00

00:56:55.940 I know you— 1.00

00:56:56.540 Because, like, being white and homeless at the same time is crazy. 0.99

00:57:00.260 I can see if you're black and homeless, okay? 1.00

00:57:01.920 Because there's a lot of shit that might happen, right? 1.00

00:57:03.900 You might got kicked off your mother's house, your girl's house or something, you know? 0.99

00:57:07.240 You can't get a job. 0.99

00:57:08.360 It's a little fucked up. 1.00

00:57:09.040 You can't pass your drug test. 1.00

00:57:10.040 You keep fucking up and shit. 1.00

00:57:10.680 Maybe you've been through something here, but white and homeless? 1.00

00:57:13.980 All y'all need is a suit and a tie and get on Indeed. 1.00

00:57:17.200 Y'all be a damn astronaut tomorrow. 0.99

00:57:18.920 So, no, I don't want to hear it. 1.00

00:57:20.020 I can only imagine what my ancestors are saying up there once I give this white person my money. 0.62

00:57:24.620 I can only imagine it.

00:57:25.920 Uh-uh.

00:57:26.960 Yeah, that's good.

00:57:28.340 You need a suit and you get on Indeed and you get a job. 0.95

00:57:30.520 That's literally true for black people. 0.99

00:57:33.020 I know.

00:57:33.920 That's the funny part.

00:57:34.980 And then also he's talking about, like, oh, yeah, your mom could kick you out of your house.

00:57:38.880 You can't pass a drug test.

00:57:39.780 I could see that.

00:57:40.420 It's like, that's all, like, self-inflicted and has nothing to do with color.

00:57:43.720 Passing a drug test? 0.99

00:57:45.300 Well, black people got to do drugs. 1.00

00:57:46.580 Yeah, we have to. 0.99

00:57:47.640 And then it's like, oh, if I see a white homeless person, I'm not giving them money because they have so much privilege. 0.82

00:57:51.780 But it's like, doesn't that prove your point is not valid if a white person is homeless?

00:57:58.180 Isn't that impossible in this scenario in your head of, like, how things are?

00:58:01.580 Yeah, white people are privileged. 0.96

00:58:03.000 So, white people shouldn't be homeless. 0.99

00:58:05.020 But they are homeless. 0.66

00:58:07.480 And so he doesn't go back and reevaluate his thought process and go, huh, maybe there isn't that much thing as privilege.

00:58:12.560 And you're kind of responsible for your own actions.

00:58:14.840 Yeah.

00:58:15.240 He doesn't recalibrate.

00:58:17.180 No. 1.00

00:58:17.400 He just goes, nah, man, fuck that, y'all. 1.00

00:58:19.720 Don't make sense. 1.00

00:58:20.540 Yeah.

00:58:20.740 And then makes the social media clip.

00:58:22.400 Not a very high-level thinker here.

00:58:26.280 Just more of a reactor.

00:58:27.960 Yeah, exactly.

00:58:28.800 Usually the case.

00:58:30.000 All right.

00:58:30.240 We have some updates from Chicago.

00:58:31.700 We have a shootout that happened.

00:58:34.400 Eight people shot in River North, which is a nicer area of town.

00:58:38.300 Isn't that, like, not where the shootings usually happen?

00:58:40.360 Yeah, it's not where.

00:58:41.160 This is where you go out.

00:58:42.500 This is where there's expensive clubs. 0.91

00:58:44.340 This is just north of the loop, south of the river.

00:58:48.140 So we have a shootout here.

00:58:50.000 And then after that, we have a migrant update, some migrant crime from Chicago. 0.71

00:58:53.740 Let's let it rip. 0.99

00:58:54.220 Let it rip.

00:59:02.640 There he is.

00:59:06.760 Letting it rip.

00:59:07.840 So he's got the Glock with a switch.

00:59:10.440 Did you think he wasn't going to use it?

00:59:12.620 It's called letting that thing talk.

00:59:14.340 Sometimes you got to let that thing talk and fire into a crowd. 0.99

00:59:17.660 This is standard behavior, guys.

00:59:19.240 Yeah, exactly.

00:59:20.180 It's completely normal.

00:59:21.060 Yeah, let's not, like, think, did you think that we were making it up?

00:59:25.360 No.

00:59:26.200 They really shoot a fully automatic Glock with a little piece of plastic on the back that makes it fully auto.

00:59:31.120 China ships it in.

00:59:32.160 They love it.

00:59:32.980 And he goes like this.

00:59:34.820 And whoever's down there.

00:59:36.280 And he ballparks it.

00:59:37.220 There he is.

00:59:39.040 It's called letting that thing talk.

00:59:40.820 And, you know.

00:59:41.840 And then the mayor will come on TV and say, well, kids sometimes can jump to bad decisions.

00:59:46.640 They can make a funny decision.

00:59:48.200 Those kids, they make funny decisions.

00:59:49.720 And we will take the migrants. 1.00

00:59:51.380 Yeah. 0.89

00:59:51.960 The Chicago mayor, too, he looks like he's about to blow up.

00:59:55.860 Like, sometimes he catches himself and he does this kind of, like, liberal voice where he goes, oh, the kids, no, let me finish.

01:00:03.420 And I think he's going to blow up one of these days soon and reveal his true colors.

01:00:07.520 But, yeah.

01:00:08.160 Enjoy the carnage, boys.

01:00:09.540 River North.

01:00:10.320 River North.

01:00:11.240 Nice place to go shopping.

01:00:13.300 Let's look at the migrant crimes. 1.00

01:00:15.060 We have a couple – we have one migrant who has an interesting story.

01:00:19.040 We have two migrant crimes. 1.00

01:00:20.660 So we obviously talk about this all on the macro level.

01:00:23.840 Chicago's Terminal 4 is heavily just – it's migrants. 1.00

01:00:28.000 It's camped out migrants right now.

01:00:29.620 The migrants in Chicago are sleeping in the Chicago police stations.

01:00:33.060 They're stealing radios.

01:00:34.780 They're getting in little skirmishes with the cops, as we've reported previously.

01:00:39.060 And so these are just some more, like, kind of arrest stories that are coming out.

01:00:43.440 This is a group of migrants who had pot, $5,000 in cash, in car during loop traffic stop.

01:00:50.040 So Chicago police say two migrants had more than three ounces of pot and $5,000 in cash when officers pulled them over for a traffic stop in the loop Thursday afternoon.

01:00:58.660 And the migrant who was driving did not have a license or insurance, but he was wanted for failing to appear in court for another pending case.

01:01:08.780 And so this is kind of what they're up to.

01:01:10.760 They get to Chicago.

01:01:11.720 They go, okay, I broke laws to get here.

01:01:14.040 Why don't I just parlay that?

01:01:15.660 No license.

01:01:16.640 I'll still drive.

01:01:17.300 I don't care.

01:01:17.700 The report also said that the bag contained more hand-rolled cigarettes and $5,000 in cash and an Illinois link card, which is the EBT.

01:01:29.040 Ah, so he's getting free food.

01:01:30.520 Free food, stolen car, no license, no insurance, and $5,000 and drug dealing.

01:01:39.000 So here's another one.

01:01:40.260 This guy is a Venezuelan.

01:01:43.080 Warrant was issued after a migrant accused of having stolen firearm in the loop fails to appear in court.

01:01:48.740 And so this was a Venezuelan who allegedly had a stolen firearm in a vehicle during a traffic stop downtown in Chicago, and he failed to appear for his first court date.

01:01:57.700 So another just no-show for the court.

01:01:59.940 Officers pulled over a Chrysler minivan traveling without plates and arrested the driver for driving without a license and without insurance, according to a CPD arrest report.

01:02:09.800 His name is Jordan Javier Medina Medina.

01:02:12.440 Classic.

01:02:13.460 That's just like the Slizleuskis in Chicago. 1.00

01:02:16.300 Yeah.

01:02:16.860 And the Murphys and the Dailies.

01:02:19.080 And so, I mean, I just wanted to highlight, like, these are kind of the—neither of these things are that serious, you know, quote unquote.

01:02:27.680 But you let in these young 20-something kids with no job and no prospects, and you go, huh, are they going to drive without a license and resort to crime?

01:02:37.500 No, I don't think so.

01:02:38.900 Hope not.

01:02:39.480 Yeah, hope not.

01:02:39.960 Sure, hope not.

01:02:40.960 And they do, of course.

01:02:42.220 And they're doing crimes.

01:02:43.360 They don't care.

01:02:44.640 I'm predicting it now.

01:02:45.720 Soon there's going to be, like, some guy hitting a crosswalk by an uninsured Venezuelan with $80,000 worth of medical bills. 0.59

01:02:53.040 No recourse for that.

01:02:54.680 Good luck.

01:02:55.520 Because they just give you the court date and say, please come back for your punishment, Mr. Illegal Immigrant who broke all the laws to get here. 1.00

01:03:02.200 And so you're setting these people up for—you're setting the citizens of Chicago up for a big fuck you, right? 1.00

01:03:07.620 Yeah. 0.99

01:03:07.920 It's already set up.

01:03:08.960 It's already happening now.

01:03:10.340 That's what they think about them.

01:03:11.600 That's who's prioritized.

01:03:12.720 So, yeah, migrant decay continues, and the natives got the Glock with the switch, and they let that thing talk. 1.00

01:03:18.920 Yeah.

01:03:19.260 Brrrap! 0.80

01:03:20.240 Everyone, it's a real Wild West situation out in Chicago.

01:03:23.600 Yeah.

01:03:23.900 The kids don't know anything in school.

01:03:25.960 The urban youths are shooting their Glocks with the switches. 0.98

01:03:29.660 The illegals are here selling drugs and robbing people. 1.00

01:03:33.620 Honestly, we showed that video of the Chicago urban kids playing dice in school.

01:03:37.700 That's the best case for them.

01:03:40.160 That's the best case.

01:03:41.120 That's, like, what they should be doing.

01:03:42.320 And that's—at least they're occupied.

01:03:43.380 They're not shooting anyone, right?

01:03:44.780 That's the best thing they got going for them.

01:03:46.740 All right.

01:03:47.040 Don't get too down.

01:03:47.780 Don't get too depressed.

01:03:48.540 Let's move on to Uplifting Gold.

01:03:50.660 All right.

01:03:51.460 Uplifting Gold.

01:03:52.220 First clip.

01:03:53.300 Guy Fieri guy.

01:03:54.640 This is Chicago as well, so this is some uplifting out of Chicago at least.

01:03:58.740 Hi, everybody.

01:03:59.660 Today at Top Butcher, we got our Cubano sandwich.

01:04:03.360 A Toronto French bread.

01:04:04.660 It's our pulled pork smoked to perfection.

01:04:07.880 Our ham also smoked to perfection.

01:04:11.880 Yellow mustard.

01:04:13.600 Our homemade pickles toasted to perfection, of course.

01:04:18.580 At Top Butcher, $7.99 all day long.

01:04:21.300 Today, 7128 West Grand Avenue.

01:04:25.000 And 7128 West Grand Avenue.

01:04:27.340 Let me show you what we got here.

01:04:28.840 That looks good.

01:04:29.520 All right.

01:04:30.540 So guys, go there and get the sandwich, take a picture with him.

01:04:33.580 Guy Fieri stole that guy's whole thing.

01:04:35.540 Yeah.

01:04:35.960 Bar for bar, word for word. 1.00

01:04:37.300 Stole his whole fucking flow. 1.00

01:04:38.780 The hair, the glasses, the whole vibe. 1.00

01:04:42.540 This is where Guy Fieri got it.

01:04:44.660 I know.

01:04:45.320 It's crazy.

01:04:46.300 You know they call Guy Fieri Guy Fieri now?

01:04:49.360 I heard that.

01:04:50.100 They put a little accent on like it's a real name.

01:04:52.400 It used to be Guy Fieri.

01:04:53.720 Yeah, of course.

01:04:54.240 Now it's Guy Fieri.

01:04:55.420 Fieri.

01:04:56.160 And the same with Kiev and Kiev.

01:04:58.180 Yeah.

01:04:58.340 And then another company's doing it too, Marriott Hotels.

01:05:02.060 What are they now?

01:05:03.080 Marriott.

01:05:04.720 It's like, oh, I'm saying it, the Marriott.

01:05:07.500 Marriott, right?

01:05:08.420 That's how I've been saying it.

01:05:09.380 That's how they've been saying it forever.

01:05:11.080 And I see a commercial the other day of like, oh, all these world-renowned hotels by Marriott.

01:05:16.320 Marriott.

01:05:17.480 I don't play it like that.

01:05:18.740 It's just like a cheap rebrand and I'm not falling for it.

01:05:21.380 Absolutely.

01:05:22.040 All right.

01:05:22.320 Let's go to the pool fail. 0.74

01:05:23.500 The guy tried to bring the large girl in the pool. 1.00

01:05:26.300 We have two pool fails.

01:05:27.360 Okay.

01:05:27.960 Any lessons here or is this just uplifting?

01:05:30.120 I think it's going to be pretty obvious what the lessons are.

01:05:32.980 You either have it in you or you don't.

01:05:36.020 And you don't.

01:05:37.660 Oh, she's right on the edge of the pool.

01:05:39.980 I like how this guy bails and protects himself.

01:05:42.760 He goes, no, no, no.

01:05:45.100 I'm out.

01:05:46.640 Dex that kid too.

01:05:48.060 Oh, a lot of bodies on the floor. 0.99

01:05:49.600 Hey, pool fucking around is never good, right? 0.99

01:05:51.980 Slippery when wet. 1.00

01:05:52.920 Let's see this one.

01:05:53.620 Same problem.

01:06:01.940 Okay.

01:06:02.560 The pool is like four feet, three feet deep.

01:06:06.160 So even if you landed it straight in, you'd blow out your legs.

01:06:10.820 Yeah.

01:06:11.640 There was never a world where you're going to land and go, wow, that was sick.

01:06:15.540 Like, it was immediately going to be that every time.

01:06:18.760 I think this is a that's what you get section.

01:06:21.080 I'm not here.

01:06:47.380 Yeah.

01:06:47.940 Because I was going to play that video and go, all right, you're making a case for lady 1.00
