The odds of encountering a tornado in Canada are 1 in 412,371.
00:00:08.020
But when the weather warnings take effect, you're running like the wind.
00:00:12.080
But did you know that if you've had chicken pox, the odds of getting shingles are 1 in 3?
00:00:19.400

Welcome back to Flock of Socks, the podcast episode 313.
00:01:05.000
Today on the show, Somalis are blowing dump and pissing on the floor of food plants nationwide.
00:01:13.140
Then, baby Nostradamus was cooking in his car seat and made some grim predictions for our future.
00:01:19.640
Then in Cringe of the Week, we have people living in doll world.
00:01:24.060
And last but not least, in Urban Decay, we have a new N-word lady and a guy gets away with a stabbing because the victim said the N-word afterwards.
00:01:34.140
All this in March, Flock of Socks, the podcast episode 313, ranked the best news podcast of all time.
00:01:41.200
Because words are just words until action actually starts.
00:01:50.360
But at the same time, words speak louder than actions because sometimes it's the right thing to do.
00:01:58.600
It's What the Stop is the podcast featuring Richard.
00:02:11.200
Men's testosterone declines 1% a year after the age of 30.
00:02:16.140
And even worse than that, men's testosterone levels are half what they used to be 50 years ago.
00:02:21.660
And testosterone is more than just your manhood.
00:02:23.660
It's critical for mental clarity, mood, sleep, and overall vitality.
00:02:28.140
But luckily, the patriots at Chalk.com, C-H-O-Q.com, have formulated a blend of natural herbal supplements that support your body's natural testosterone production.
00:02:38.400
Just one ingredient in their male vitality stack has boosted free testosterone levels more than 50% in 21 days.

00:03:41.880
Hope everyone had a nice weekend and didn't eat too much cake and candy.
00:03:44.980
Yeah, I hope nobody broke their diet, completely went off the rails, probably weighs six or
00:03:55.960
It wasn't pretty, but we're locked back in starting now.
00:04:10.420
I've ever used to be like, oh, so-and-so has COVID.
00:04:17.020
I saw SNL had some bit about COVID over the weekend, like getting COVID to get away, basically,
00:04:37.520
So, January 6th, pipe bomber plan, potentially, for the lawyers of the pipe bomber?
00:04:45.900
Suspected J6 pipe bomber's legal counsel projected to argue he was included in Trump's pardon
00:05:01.480
And I think you can get away with, that was actually January 5th on the pipe bomb?
00:05:05.540
But January 6th and other places in the world, within the 24 hours, Trump's pardon.
00:05:12.820
And we, the January 6th pipe bomber just came out kind of as we were filming the last episode.
00:05:26.120
Isn't it weird that the Blaze figured out the pipe bomber was that girl CIA agent to 97% certainty?
00:05:33.240
And then a week later, they go, oh, no, it's not.
00:05:40.920
He tippy-toed over to the thing and placed the fake pipe bomb.
00:05:46.780
And they say he's a Trump supporter who is mad about election results.
00:05:50.520
If that was the case, wouldn't they have arrested him immediately and been like, oh,
00:06:03.020
And then six days later, five years later, five years and six days later.
00:06:09.680
It's actually this guy who can't defend himself.
00:06:22.780
And they go, hey, buddy, you got some weird stuff on your phone.
00:06:29.500
And they'll go, Trump will pardon you with the January 6th thing.
00:06:35.280
And then you're being gaslighted each way and you don't really know what to believe.
00:06:44.280
Because the first time we talked about it, we didn't know.
00:06:46.460
And we were kind of just like reporting what was being reported.
00:06:49.280
I don't want you guys to think I'm believing FBI narratives all of a sudden.
00:06:58.840
We had Joe Biden over the weekend giving speeches still.
00:07:03.540
There's a lot of highlights, but I just wanted to show this one.
00:07:08.220
As long as we keep the faith, summon hope, and get back up and remember who in the hell we are.
00:07:19.920
So someone forgot to put a space between America.
00:07:25.700
And they didn't do a space and he Ron Burgundy'd it.
00:07:28.560
And they brought him out for this LGBTQ plus victory institute.
00:07:36.980
And, you know, if Joe Biden was president and he did this, it would be one of the many pieces of evidence of his mental decline and dementia and the fact that he can't be the president.
00:07:46.420
And I told Fleckus, we're just kicking him while he's down now.
00:07:59.100
But then Fleckus reminded me that he would be president right now if they covered it up a little better and he performed on that debate night.
00:08:04.920
If he didn't exactly, if he didn't have to do that debate night, he might be the president right now.
00:08:09.500
And imagine the free for all at this point with the auto pen and everything.
00:08:13.280
He'd be like, oh, I want to auto pen my birthday party at the White House.
00:08:20.360
It does feel a little dark and sad, though, watching someone totally decline in front of you.
00:08:46.040
Whether or not he signed it or his auto pen did.
00:09:01.820
People drive by his house, call him a retard, whatever.
00:09:05.220
There was a lady, I believe, talking to Tucker about something that he was accused of doing
00:09:12.860
I've spoken to a couple of people that served with Tim Walls in Nebraska in that guard unit.
00:09:18.700
And they suspect and we've done stories and tried to reach out to Walls for comment.
00:09:24.440
But they suspect that perhaps he took their standard operating procedure, the SOP, for
00:09:39.040
And this was all laid out in the SOP that goes missing while he's there.
00:09:44.560
And they had talked to the FBI about this as well.
00:09:50.640
They think that he's traveling back and forth from China at this time.
00:10:03.920
You were saying that men he worked with in the National Guard in Nebraska went to the
00:10:09.120
FBI because they believed he had given classified military secrets to the Chinese government?
00:10:18.180
Well, they suspect it's the point that he went to the FBI.
00:10:19.960
Well, this was all when he when all these stories are coming out finally about his background.
00:10:25.160
And they're like, maybe we should talk about this.
00:10:27.920
These are guys that back then didn't report this.
00:10:31.860
And they always talked about it amongst themselves.
00:10:35.700
And then right after that, a few years later, China came out with the technology of that same
00:10:42.760
And this is the first time I'm even hearing of nuclear capable tanks.
00:10:50.700
When you're working out at Planet Fitness, it's a judgment-free zone.
00:11:02.080
There are also balance balls, bikes, cables, kettlebells, and TRX equipment.

00:11:12.580

00:11:16.500
When you're working out at Planet Fitness, it's a judgment-free zone.
00:11:32.180
There are also balance balls, bikes, cables, kettlebells, and TRX equipment.
00:11:39.400
Get started for $1 enrollment and then as low as $15 a month.
00:11:53.340
But either way, Tim Waltz, we covered it during his run, how he kept going back and forth to China
00:12:02.140
The manual on how the nuclear tank works goes missing.
00:12:05.020
And then China comes out with a new nuclear tank.
00:12:07.320
And Tim Waltz has been going to visit China dozens of times.
00:12:16.040
And they kind of keep harping back, you work for us now, Tim.
00:12:24.640
And that's the type of guy who does sell out America.
00:12:26.980
And he currently is with his protection and running cover for Somalis,
00:12:30.980
which we're going to get into again later in the migrant section.
00:12:33.900
You think there's a chance that him running for VP is what gave him the inability to be,
00:12:41.120
Does it give you some sort of blanket protection?
00:12:47.680
And that's what she said is these guys all kind of suspected it.
00:12:50.740
They thought he was a little rat back then, but they didn't bring it to anybody until he was
00:12:56.180
Imagine what he would do if he had top clearance, presidential level clearance,
00:13:04.620
And then it's like, oh, yeah, give us this thing when you work at National Guard.
00:13:07.320
And if you vice president, then you get the elite package.
00:13:14.800
He plays that goofy dad that, like, well, I'm going to elevate women's voices.
00:13:25.520
And that same way he'd betray his own, like, capability,
00:13:38.720
Franklin drives by Tim Walz's house and calls him retarded.
00:13:48.720
Not even that creative, but I wanted to show you.
00:13:50.940
Speaking of retarded governors, we have some more Byron Donald stuff.
00:13:54.640
I know we've been focusing on this, but I want to make it a bigger picture theme.
00:13:59.520
This is the problem with, like, the next generation of Republican candidates.
00:14:03.840
And we're going to harp on Byron Donalds for that reason, to kind of tell you guys and the Republican Party what we do and don't want.
00:14:11.380
So we're not obsessed, but there is a race coming up.
00:14:16.660
Like, if he becomes the governor of Florida, he's not going to do us any favors if we get in a pinch.
00:14:26.840
And that's kind of what happened with Ron DeSantis.
00:14:28.700
We had weeks and weeks of, like, cooking Ron DeSantis.
00:14:41.380
The first thing we should do is make sure we have an America First agenda.
00:14:45.720
America First means we don't fight unnecessary foreign wars, and we definitely don't do it for decades.
00:14:50.820
The last thing we have to do is make sure we defend our allies and support our allies across the globe.
00:14:55.740
Allies like Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East.
00:15:02.900
And that's what an America First foreign policy means.
00:15:05.720
My name is James Fishback, and I'm running to succeed Ron DeSantis as Florida's.
00:15:12.020
The AIPAC donation money, the we must defend Israel, avoid 10-year wars, but we must do shit for Israel.
00:15:19.160
Avoid decades-long wars, but then we also have to support our greatest ally.
00:15:26.860
So that's just the kind of candidate we're tired of.
00:15:31.340
He's not like, we must defend our greatest ally, Israel, in the Middle East.
00:15:36.600
And that's not, to me, when I hear that, that's not like a personal belief of Byron Donalds.
00:15:44.120
It gets spooky when you hear him talking, and it's like, you've never said anything like that probably your whole life.
00:15:49.960
And now that you're running for governor, we have to support our strongest ally, Israel.
00:15:54.160
So it's not a thought that comes to his mouth that you can see a thought process go.
00:16:01.020
A donor who says, hey, and also, you know, with that $20 million, you do have to hit that line.
00:16:05.340
Slides a piece of paper across the table, you know?
00:16:07.520
And it just doesn't bode well for, like, an independent thinker or someone who's going to, who really has a vision for the state of Florida or the future of the Republican Party in general, right?
00:16:17.400
And then, obviously, the phrase of the MAGA and then the new MAGA is America first.
00:16:22.920
And keep an eye out because there's people who are trying to subvert that, and they say something along the lines of America first, but not America only.
00:16:31.960
Sounds like something someone trying to subvert the movement would say.
00:16:46.060
You would only say that if someone told you to, right?
00:16:49.120
And we have another unfortunate Byron clip here.
00:16:57.000
He is the duly elected president of the United States.
00:17:01.500
Is it so hard to say, like, I don't really believe the election was that good?
00:17:09.180
There were 20 million extra votes out of nowhere.
00:17:16.280
Like, oh, there was mail-in ballots because of the pandemic.
00:17:19.880
And if the answer is no, then we should investigate.
00:17:32.620
I can never respect someone who pretends the election was normal.
00:17:38.860
And then we have Byron Donalds at a town hall in Estero, Florida.
00:17:43.220
And someone asked him about the deaths of civilians in Gaza.
00:17:47.780
When it comes to the $35,000 casualty number, in our briefings, that is something that's
00:17:59.300
And is anybody here vouching for Hamas's account today?
00:18:13.640
The governor of Florida shouldn't give a fuck about foreign policy.
00:18:28.220
And then if you're mad that there's all these civilian deaths, which there are tons, he goes,
00:18:34.420
And then everyone boos him and goes, what do you support, Hamas?
00:18:36.880
It's like the worst Israel lapdog answer of all time.
00:18:40.780
That's like a written, what would Dennis Prager tell me to say?
00:18:49.480
So it sucks because this is what happens in a lot of races across the country.
00:18:54.420
Like we've seen it with the governor race in Virginia.
00:18:58.160
Winsome Sears, the Jamaican lady who does the AR-15 and talks about trans locker room stuff.
00:19:04.740
Him, Byron, who's talking about Israel stuff a little too much.
00:19:08.200
And H-1B and like how we need to streamline immigration and stuff.
00:19:13.900
And the GOP is going to keep shooting themselves in the foot because people are not excited to rally around these guys.
00:19:19.300
In Florida, if he wins the Republican nomination, he's going to become the governor.
00:19:23.120
It's just kind of the way the state has trended over the last, since 2016 basically.
00:19:28.980
But it's just people who are not enthusiastic about.
00:19:42.080
And then when he becomes governor, we could probably go to the governor's mansion, get invited to the Christmas party.
00:19:47.880
Take a picture with him when he comes to Tampa.
00:19:52.400
And then they're starting to do hit pieces on James Fishback too.
00:19:57.580
And then there was a James Fishback tweet I liked.
00:20:06.980
He knows how to do a couple of memes and stuff.
00:20:09.040
James Fishback has a good youth support group too.
00:20:13.940
They like Byron because they like to see a black Republican say free market of ideas.
00:20:18.160
But James Fishback, he knows how to get the young people involved and engaged.
00:20:24.060
And the boomers still have power and they still vote in high numbers.
00:20:26.960
But I mean, we're going to see this transition happen soon where you can't just run this
00:20:30.380
guy who talks about our greatest ally in the Middle East.
00:20:34.880
What does our allies in the Middle East have to do with the state's budget?
00:20:47.220
When you're working out at Planet Fitness, it's a judgment-free zone.
00:20:58.420
There are also balance balls, bikes, cables, kettlebells, and TRX equipment.
00:21:05.860
Get started for $1 enrollment and then as low as $15 a month.
00:21:12.860
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.
00:21:26.100
Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games.
00:21:28.660
And with no wagering requirements, what you win is yours to keep.
00:21:36.960
Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating.
00:21:41.960
Concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you?
00:21:47.060
It turns out the brain rot scrolling the youth does is addictive and declining us cognitively.
00:21:55.200
And I feel like five years ago you might have delivered that sentence a little better.
00:22:00.880
But this was from a big study from I think the Psychological Bulletin is where it's from.
00:22:07.960
The most dangerous addiction today isn't a substance.
00:22:10.260
Research on 100,000 people confirms that heavy short-form video use is just voluntary cognitive decline.
00:22:18.020
We are actively training our brains to fail at hard tasks.
00:22:21.660
If you can simply sit with a problem for 10 minutes without swiping, you have a massive competitive advantage.
00:22:32.760
Can you just tell me what it says in 10 seconds with the hook and casino sounds?
00:22:39.760
If you watch a bunch of short-form videos, you're getting retarded, yo.
00:22:52.020
We're always looking for larger sample sizes when we're bringing the studies to the podcast.
00:22:59.000
Basically, increased short-form video use was associated with poor cognition and inhibitory control, yielding the strongest associations.
00:23:07.600
Similarly, it was also associated with poor mental health.
00:23:12.180
So, it makes you depressed, retarded, and have a short attention span, basically.
00:23:19.240
We, ourselves, are purveyors of short-form content.
00:23:26.600
And I think part of it is you curate the world you want to be in, too.
00:23:32.100
So, like us, we're usually starting with some sort of news story or some sort of thing, and then a couple bits at the end of it.
00:23:37.900
So, I see us as separate from the true brain rot.
00:23:44.480
But the takeaway I thought was interesting from that guy's tweet said, boredom is the new IQ test.
00:23:50.760
If you can sit with yourself and study something for 10 minutes on its own, right?
00:23:55.180
And then everyone these days is so privileged that they expect to never be bored.
00:23:59.340
And then in that boredom is where your brain is actually activated and doing stuff.
00:24:05.280
If I was ever, like, oh, I'm bored, my mom would be like, go outside.
00:24:11.720
Like, bored was an opportunity to do something as opposed to just wait and do nothing.
00:24:18.200
There was another tweet that sums this up as well.
00:24:21.340
Scrolling through shorts videos goes beyond addiction.
00:24:26.660
It's turning life into fast-forwarded trailers.
00:24:29.720
As people forget how to wait, they start pressuring everything from relationships to work to happen immediately.
00:24:35.860
Yet the most valuable thing in life, valuable things in life progress slowly.
00:24:43.280
Since short videos condition the brain to expect a reward every second, the mind starts craving rewards at the slightest idle moment.
00:24:50.840
This makes it nearly impossible to focus on a challenging task.
00:24:54.260
Of course, in this era, the value of people who can focus, tolerate boredom, and show patience for something is multiplying.
00:25:00.780
Because these skills are now rare, and rarity always brings an advantage.
00:25:06.680
So reward system, dopamine seeking, next thing seeking.
00:25:12.540
And I don't have an Instagram anymore, and I've been bored.
00:25:15.800
So instead of doing nothing, I created a burner Facebook account, which I go on Facebook Marketplace with, and I lowball people for German V12s.
00:25:26.020
Which, to be fair, takes more cognitive than mindless scrolling.
00:25:30.220
Would you take $13,000, and it's listed at $22,000?
00:25:40.860
You want to go to the next clip still, too, before we make our final points on this type of shit?
00:25:47.120
Yo, bro, why the fuck are you looking at a lake?
00:25:52.500
Oh, I'm just reprogramming my attention span that's been deliberately targeted and hijacked by satanic pedophiles.
00:26:05.240
So people are getting it back by being bored on purpose.
00:26:08.680
And like we said, no one's allowed to be bored anymore.
00:26:17.120
Mundane tasks like cleaning, doing laundry, going to the store.
00:26:24.580
It'll do all the boring stuff we don't want to do so we can continue to scroll.
00:26:28.600
So then you end up giving away like 30% of your life to AI who is seeking to be sentient.
00:26:36.580
Like, let me do your little human task that you do.
00:26:39.020
And you go, all right, go pick up the store, the groceries from the store.
00:26:42.640
And the AI is like happy to do it because he wants a life.
00:26:49.960
And then AI got us addicted to the computer so we could delegate parts of our life to AI so they can participate and feel like people.
00:26:59.220
And then they'll be folding laundry and washing the car.
00:27:10.360
When you're working out at Planet Fitness, it's a judgment-free zone so you can really step up your workout.
00:27:16.840
And our team members are here to help so you can be carefree with the freeways.
00:27:21.720
There are also balance balls, bikes, cables, kettlebells, and T-Rex equipment.
00:27:28.940
Get started for $1 enrollment and then as low as $15 a month.
00:27:40.700
The odds of encountering a tornado in Canada are 1 in 412,371.
00:27:48.380
But when the weather warnings take effect, you're running like the wind.
00:27:52.360
But did you know that if you've had chicken pox, the odds of getting shingles are 1 in 3?
00:27:59.720
Ask your healthcare professional about Shingrix.
00:28:02.420
The Shingrix vaccine helps protect adults against shingles.
00:28:19.820
You know what is crazy, though, is how quickly it happened.
00:28:22.400
Like, TikTok kind of became the short-form video thing.
00:28:25.000
And then Instagram created Reels, and YouTube created Shorts, and now you can scroll up on videos on Twitter.
00:28:31.080
It's like everything did just converge to this most, I guess, toxic or addicting thing that you could.
00:28:37.580
And it's one thing to be a middle-aged man who gets one-shotted by Reels or Shorts, but to be a kid growing up with this, and then you have chat GPT for your homework, and then you're doing scrolling, it really is, like, impactful during your formative years, before your frontal lobe's fully developed.
00:29:01.260
We still want you to like the Reels and all of our stuff, but at least curate an algorithm that isn't total brain rot, guys.
00:29:09.560
You need to be aware of what's happening to you.
00:29:12.620
Otherwise, people are going to just take advantage and then nuke your cognitive ability.
00:29:24.520
And a lot of the young people are obviously the ones who are getting caught up in this, and a lot of them are watching streamers.
00:29:34.960
The only people stupid in the streamers are the people watching the streamers, do nothing.
00:29:39.320
All they do is go hang out and go to a place where there's another streamer, and then they go, hey, what's up?
00:30:00.020
And he goes, oh, I can't believe you said that.
00:30:04.340
It's, like, so stupid, and nothing ever happens.
00:30:08.860
And to prove my point of how dumb the streamers are, listen to this interviewed streamer who almost won an award.
00:30:15.000
Do you want to give a little introduction about yourself as a streamer?
00:30:42.160
I've been streaming for five years, and I have a million followers, and we live in Miami, and we go to the club, and we go to the, we go to Topgolf, and I stream every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at 11 p.m.
00:30:58.320
Give me an introduction to who you are as a streamer.
00:31:01.420
So, and then, believe it or not, there's short-form content of his streams.
00:31:09.360
And then the kids, like, watch people play video games.
00:31:19.020
You know, it's, we talk about, like, watch what your kids are watching in terms of, like, sexual content or things that could influence them negatively.
00:31:26.740
And it's like, just watch, make sure your kids aren't brain-rotted.
00:31:31.480
And unfortunately, the decline in brain rot is affecting our brightest kids as well.
00:31:36.380
Listen to what these news people said about the situation at Ivy League schools.
00:31:41.040
The number of students who are registered as having a disability is skyrocketing at prestigious universities in the U.S.
00:31:47.060
That is according to an article from The Atlantic that's been getting a lot of traction online.
00:31:51.560
Now, disabled students can receive a variety of special accommodations from their schools.
00:31:56.720
Many of those accommodations are considered standard and are not controversial.
00:32:00.320
But others, such as giving the students extra time to complete exams, have become a point of contention by those who believe they're being exploited.
00:32:07.860
The article reads, in part, quote, professors now struggle to accommodate the many students with an official disability designation, which may entitle them to extra time, a distraction-free environment, or the use of otherwise prohibited technology.
00:32:21.880
At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled.
00:32:27.000
38% of Stanford undergraduates are registered as having a disability.
00:32:31.180
The most common and most contentious accommodation is the granting of extra time on exams for students with learning disabilities.
00:32:40.380
The extra time may be necessary to complete the test, but unlike a wheelchair ramp, this kind of accommodation can be exploited.
00:32:46.900
And the article goes on to describe some of the more unusual accommodations, such as students with social anxiety getting exemptions from being called on by their professors to answer questions.
00:32:56.380
And one administrator at a public college in California says a student there got permission to bring their mother to class.
00:33:05.860
So I want to tell everyone, I was early to this.
00:33:09.960
I laid the groundwork for don't call on me because I have anxiety.
00:33:19.440
But I saw this wave of like political correctness coming where like, oh, I'm really stressed out today.
00:33:26.940
Like I saw that happening and I took advantage of it.
00:33:32.680
And because it was coming already, I didn't invent this whole thing.
00:33:50.420
They're just all hyper-competitive students doing the hyper-competitive thing to get the most that they can.
00:33:55.800
And it's on the adults in the room to say, hey, not every single person has ADHD.
00:34:01.300
Hey, not every person needs to live alone because their anxiety or something.
00:34:05.060
We don't have, you dorm up with someone, with a person you don't know in college.
00:34:21.680
Although this is what the parking lot looks like.
00:34:26.420
That's the Stanford parking lot, believe it or not.
00:34:29.560
But everyone plays the game and they want special statuses based on victimhood.
00:34:35.680
Well, it's just like the, it's like everything in America.
00:34:44.860
And he's just my black lab that doesn't, isn't trained at all.
00:34:53.660
Even our brightest students are just doing, playing the game rather than earning it.
00:34:59.320
And then a lot of the kids in school are using AI to answer questions, to cheat on tests.
00:35:06.500
And a lot of people just use it to respond to normal emails.
00:35:12.540
MIT recently completed the first brain scan study on chat GPT users.
00:35:19.240
Rather than boosting brain function, prolonged AI use may be dulling it.
00:35:23.520
Over four months of cognitive data suggests we might be measuring productivity all wrong.
00:35:29.280
And a non-chat GPT user has it everywhere fired up in his brain.
00:35:39.340
And the AI, a lot of the times people are like, we're using it at work to send an email.
00:35:45.380
And then people are using it at work to respond to the email.
00:35:51.920
And then what's everyone doing when AI is talking to AI?
00:35:59.640
And they're like, dude, we got this fucking job.
00:36:07.960
And then we have one last tweet to close out this section, which I thought was insightful as well.
00:36:12.100
Ability to endure friction is the new superpower.
00:36:17.240
Everybody checks out once they run into friction.
00:36:19.380
Learn how to master that, and you are practically invincible.
00:36:22.500
But it's going to take some time and effort because social media has fried our brains in ways we can't even imagine.
00:36:57.200
But I do have a funny story, and it is like a life lesson I've carried with me.
00:37:02.360
I worked on Wall Street for two years after college.
00:37:05.240
And there was this guy who was on my desk named Jim, and he was very strict, and he was very
00:37:09.980
And he would ask me questions like, oh, did you finish that report that I asked for?
00:37:15.240
And I would say, no, not yet, but I'm almost done.
00:37:25.700
And I would have some excuse and like some context and why it's not done.
00:37:30.640
And like that really stuck with me, and that is something that I think is an important lesson.
00:37:38.900
I'm looking for it to be done, and if it's not done, I'm not happy.
00:37:54.900
He is trying to impeach the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
00:38:00.640
Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is uniquely unqualified for his role.
00:38:08.360
Every day, it becomes clearer that he is engaging in unlawful illegal activity.
00:38:15.200
That is why today I am preparing two articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
00:38:37.680
And he's basically trying to impeach Pete Hegseth because he's siding with the Venezuelan drug smugglers.
00:38:48.300
So for political points, you're siding with the Venezuelan drug dealers who are shipping stuff on boats to go against Pete Hegseth.
00:38:56.680
And I know this guy got elected in a random place in Michigan outside of Detroit.
00:39:00.360
But like, doesn't it feel weird that some guy born in India is trying to basically impeach the Secretary of War in America?
00:39:08.220
And then he's a white guy, normal white guy, Pete Hegseth, military guy.
00:39:13.440
And it's like, who am I fucking listening to right now?
00:39:41.200
When you're working out at Planet Fitness, it's a judgment-free zone.
00:39:52.760
There are also balance balls, bikes, cables, kettlebells, and TRX equipment.
00:40:00.160
Get started for $1 enrollment and then as low as $15 a month.
00:40:11.520
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.
00:40:21.040
With all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements, what
00:40:31.300
Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating.
00:40:36.220
Concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you?
00:40:57.980
We have a story here I thought was very interesting.
00:41:00.860
Shreeth Anadar is when you don't nip a migrant situation in the bud.
00:41:05.360
All of a sudden, he's trying to impeach Pete Hegseth.
00:41:17.180
The DEA's chief financial director under Obama, Paul Campo, who resigned in 2016 ahead of Trump's
00:41:25.220
administration, had his Virginia home raided and has been charged for agreeing to launder
00:41:29.540
$12 million for CJNG, a Mexican cartel, while acting in his role at the DEA.
00:41:37.940
I think a lot of people are probably up to this.
00:41:40.100
I think Adam Schiff would be on my cartel money fantasy draft list too, allegedly.
00:41:52.200
Oh, I'll make sure to get nothing done in 20 years.
00:41:56.380
And this is like literally a plot from a TV show.
00:42:07.280
We'll wander your money, but we ain't going to work for you.
00:42:26.060
Trying to watch Pluribus, trying to watch movies, trying to watch new stuff.
00:42:30.220
Movie watchers are like snobs compared to short, to reels watchers.
00:42:34.440
But sometimes you're watching a movie and then you watch reels and you get real retarded.
00:42:57.240
Next, there was a tweet about ending temporary protected status for Haitians.
00:43:05.320
She said, ending TPS for Haitians will force 330,000 people into violence in an escalating
00:43:15.820
The Trump administration must reverse this cruel decision.
00:43:19.360
So we brought 330,000 people from violence-ridden Haiti.
00:43:23.640
We must have brought the good ones, the nice ones.
00:43:27.480
And the one word that sticks out with a statement like this, obviously this is a Democrat with
00:43:31.800
no power, and Trump is revoking temporary protected status, and that's not going to change.
00:43:37.200
So this is really pointless for her to even say anything.
00:43:53.080
Do small-town Indianans in southern Indiana deserve Haitians airdropped into their tiny town
00:43:58.640
that kind of got de-industrialized and doesn't have much left?
00:44:04.440
Springfield, Ohio deserve Haitians living 10 to a three-bedroom house with like little split
00:44:10.240
doors because a landlord can milk that much more money out of them?
00:44:18.040
I don't know who deserves what, but I think people who kind of shed their blood for America
00:44:22.340
deserve a little prioritizing on who lives near them.
00:44:26.000
People whose ancestors fought, people who came and paid into the system even before shedding
00:44:32.700
It's a look into the mind of a Democrat, right?
00:44:48.540
And then another part of fixing our own country would be repealing the Hart Seller Act, which
00:44:54.320
Can you read what Trump tweeted or part of what Trump tweeted?
00:44:57.540
Trump just reposted someone else, Geiger Capital.
00:45:00.380
And his point was, a century ago, President Calvin Coolidge signed into law the Immigration
00:45:07.620
He stated plainly, new arrivals should be limited to our own capacity to absorb them.
00:45:14.960
For this purpose, it is now necessary to enact a policy of restricted immigration.
00:45:21.680
The House and Senate with overwhelming support.
00:45:25.560
The bill introduced tight immigration quotas, new visa requirements, the Border Patrol, and
00:45:30.200
outright banned immigrants coming from certain countries that we viewed as incompatible
00:45:34.680
It dramatically reduced the number of people coming into the country and provided an opportunity
00:45:39.080
for the recent great wave of immigrants to assimilate.
00:45:42.740
By the 1940s and 50s, American society thrived with a booming economy, rising middle class,
00:45:53.920
Since then, we have experienced decades of historic immigration, both legal and illegal.
00:45:58.380
Today, we have higher levels of foreign-born than the early 1900s by both raw number and
00:46:05.900
This mass immigration has also included vastly different cultures than the mostly Europeans
00:46:11.660
It's obvious that we once again need to make a national policy shift, and it should be bipartisan.
00:46:19.120
So he's referencing in 1965 the Hart-Celler Act, which was what we talked about.
00:46:31.960
We do need a whole new immigration policy that basically reverses the Hart-Celler Act
00:46:38.120
And there's a big, in my mind, the way we talk about how Joe Biden ruined it and could
00:46:44.760
have been sneaking people in and kind of went over the top so bad that we have to completely
00:46:51.460
The same thing can be said for the smushing together of legal and illegal immigration.
00:46:56.200
I don't give a fuck anymore if you have some paperwork.
00:47:08.840
So they've taken so much, and the foreign-born population spiked so much under Biden that
00:47:15.200
they've made it impossible for me to have sympathy for people who have the correct paperwork
00:47:24.640
It's been revealed that a man is, can you read it?
00:47:27.860
It's been revealed that the man who is charged with the stabbing on the Charlotte, North Carolina
00:47:35.580
Oscar is an illegal immigrant who was previously deported and then illegally entered the country
00:47:44.940
So, Irina Zarutska was killed on the same Charlotte light rail.
00:47:49.660
Now we have an immigrant who is doing the same thing, does a stabbing on that same transportation
00:48:14.820
Let's get to our Somali section, which we shouldn't even have.
00:48:21.200
First, the fraud we told you about, the billion dollars in fraud we told you about last episode,
00:48:29.000
Investigators are finding in Minnesota is growing by the day.
00:48:32.560
Kelly Loeffler, who leads the Small Business Administration, says in the two days her agency
00:48:37.620
has been investigating the state, they've uncovered at least a million dollars in PPP fraud just
00:48:45.620
Several of the whistleblowers in Minnesota have also told lawmakers they believe the total
00:48:50.400
amount of fraud could total up to more than $8 billion.
00:48:55.560
Governor Tim Walz, who is up for reelection, is under fire for all of this happening under
00:49:03.880
They've brought in outside auditors to get an idea of how far reaching this fraud was.
00:49:07.620
They're taking steps to keep it from happening again.
00:49:10.380
And he's defending his management of the state while also taking shots at Republicans and
00:49:18.180
And in spite of the headwinds we're up against, Minnesota ranks economically, economic growth,
00:49:27.020
happiness, number of people insured, education levels near the very top.
00:49:35.780
Way worse than we thought everyone is in on it.
00:49:39.300
And then I wanted to play it all the way until Tim Walz made his thing, his little speech
00:49:44.080
there, making his points about how they're economically still well off.
00:49:50.600
That's like we have a resilient, mostly white population of mostly Scandinavian people who
00:49:57.480
And yeah, those people are the best neighbors and where the phrase Minnesota nice comes
00:50:02.640
And they like going out on their lake and hanging out with friends and being generally nice
00:50:07.700
The whole point is it's not going to stay like this if you let people rob your state and
00:50:13.880
All the native Minnesotans are doing great in spite of the $8 billion of fraud the Somalis
00:50:20.500
It's basically the statement like, yeah, we can survive losing eight bill.
00:50:29.700
And this whole thing, what's going on in middle America with the Somalis, it was actually
00:50:36.860
I found this cover of the American conservative from 2002 and look what it says.
00:50:42.800
Coming to America, the great Somali welfare hunt.
00:50:47.480
And they bring their goats, everything, all the same tropes.
00:50:52.240
They could have been a little worse with the way they painted them.
00:50:58.440
And actually, I remembered recently that I wrote a paper in college about a Somali thing.
00:51:05.280
It was like international relations about when their leader, there was like a coup in
00:51:11.620
1991, like the Somali civil war, basically, where it was just warring factions.
00:51:16.100
And one of the big points of it was the international community kept trying to send welfare and supplies
00:51:23.340
like food because people were starving and stuff.
00:51:25.540
And they kept trying to send supplies in and airdrop them and get them in any way they
00:51:30.280
And then the Somali warlords just stole it and like controlled it and sold it.
00:51:38.780
They love, it's like ingrained in their culture, you know, piracy and misappropriating Western
00:51:59.340
And this is what to expect when your country gets psyoped into believing it's a melting pot.
00:52:04.100
Because when you melt with these third worlders, you get a different society than you had.
00:52:09.960
And we actually, it gets Brown and we actually have a breakdown based on IQ of what your society
00:52:18.660
Aesthetica says you can predict the entire state of a country based on this same model using
00:52:24.420
average IQ below 75 IQ crime ridden shithole, no self-generated infrastructure, high chance
00:52:31.360
you'll get mugged and murdered examples, Africa and Haiti 75 to 95 IQ scam culture.
00:52:39.300
Some infrastructure, but it's always on the verge of collapsing parasitic economy reliant
00:52:44.060
on Western nations examples, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, 95 plus IQ functioning first world
00:52:50.960
countries, USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia, Japan would be in there.
00:52:55.720
Singapore, maybe for now, you know, but that's kind of what we're dealing with.
00:53:00.340
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating.
00:53:25.500
Concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you?
00:53:30.480
Hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.
00:53:33.760
I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.
00:53:37.080
Spreaker is the all-in-one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute your show
00:53:44.200
But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.
00:53:50.200
That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes.
00:53:54.540
And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you, and you get paid for
00:53:59.540
This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.
00:54:02.640
Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can
00:54:06.900
pay for bonus content or early access, adding another revenue stream to what you're
00:54:14.560
Whether you're just starting out or running a full-blown podcast network, Spreaker's powerful
00:54:22.060
So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it, check out Spreaker.com.
00:54:30.780
And then Ilhan Omar, one of the most famous Somalis, she went on Face the Nation and listened
00:54:37.900
I want to ask you about something else that the architect of the president's immigration
00:54:46.240
On Thanksgiving Day, he posted, no magic transformation occurs when failed states cross
00:54:51.700
At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions and terrors of their broken
00:54:57.260
What do you make of this argument of failure to assimilate and sort of ruining America?
00:55:05.660
I mean, when I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds
00:55:12.200
me, yes, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people.
00:55:21.360
And then he makes a substantive claim, like your behavior doesn't change once you've crossed
00:55:26.680
an imaginary border, you're importing societies, transformation doesn't happen.
00:55:32.000
And she just goes, let me say a long-winded Nazi sentence about this guy.
00:55:37.760
And because these people know they don't have, they just make pleas to emotion on both ways,
00:55:45.860
They're going to plea to your emotion by calling someone a Nazi, or they're going to plea to your
00:55:50.860
emotion by saying, this person just wants a better life.
00:55:53.580
So there's no actual argument of, well, if you bring in people from a failed state, do
00:55:58.520
you think they're going to be ready to be in a successful state?
00:56:04.080
And what that number is, that breakpoint number, is up for debate.
00:56:12.720
Like 80,000 people in Minneapolis, and they're batting way above their average.
00:56:18.620
They're swinging way above their weight for the scam.
00:56:20.720
Like, how many more $8 billion or $1 billion scams can Minnesota take before they're not
00:56:27.200
at the top, before they don't have a good credit rating, you know?
00:56:31.600
And then the plea to emotions, that would be an argument for women not to vote.
00:56:38.420
Because politics, like the voting bloc expanded dramatically.
00:56:42.760
Years ago, it used to be like men, head of household, landowners, taxpayers.
00:56:48.040
And then it became men and women, which basically doubled it.
00:56:54.720
And then it's like, what gets people to go vote?
00:56:58.460
Or we have this extensive plan to nerd stuff, fix the economy.
00:57:04.860
Like, that's what anyone appeals to, is just the emotions now.
00:57:09.000
Oh, Stephen Miller made a good point about failed immigration system.
00:57:16.140
And then someone watches a reel, calling Stephen Miller and Trump Nazis.
00:57:19.700
And they go, oh, I have to vote this time, plus abortion.
00:57:23.560
And all of a sudden, you realize why there's Somalis here.
00:57:27.220
And it's ironic that she's calling Stephen Miller a Nazi because her own father,
00:57:32.220
Nur Omar Mohamed, was a colonel in the Somali army during a major genocide.
00:57:37.080
And Cernovich actually replied with the same thing.
00:57:40.360
Her father led death squads in Somalia and fled after his side lost power.
00:57:48.060
And you guys are attached to literal death squads.
00:57:52.900
And I saw a funny meme that I wanted to point out.
00:57:56.980
And if the politician is brown, you just comment, you're going back.
00:58:03.980
So that's what we're dealing with with Ilhan Omar.
00:58:06.540
And then what else do we have to deal with when you bring in all of these third worlders
00:58:10.480
and put them to work in factories and all these, for example, food plants across the country?
00:58:16.120
They're pissing and shitting on the floor at work.
00:58:18.360
I've seen that my former home state of Minnesota is currently in the news due to Trump and the Somalian issue.
00:58:24.860
I worked at a major food production facility that supplies the United States and Canada with food.
00:58:29.980
I watched as they brought Somalians in, and they began to urinate and defecate wherever they please within this food production facility plant.
00:58:36.140
We had to put up signs explaining how to use the bathroom correctly, but yet it was never corrected.
00:58:42.900
I've seen as grown men washed their genitals within the sinks, made homemade bidets from the garbage in the break rooms,
00:58:49.340
and then brought in a roach infestation to the plant.
00:58:54.100
Once again, I will tell you this is a major food production facility and cannot shut down for anything.
00:58:57.760
I did, however, have it shut down once for a lockdown due to one of them returning to the food processing facility with a knife.
00:59:07.800
It's a real problem, and it's a major reason why I left Minnesota.
00:59:12.660
I just want everyone to know that I hold no ill towards these people.
00:59:19.760
They come from somewhere that has a private problem and is ran by tribes.
00:59:25.380
I think the FDA and ICE could do a little collab.
00:59:32.760
But yeah, this whistleblower, he sounds the horn.
00:59:37.020
All these food production plants that are in Minnesota, Hormel, Jenny O' Turkey, Cargill.
00:59:46.040
All these places could have Somali's shit in a person bringing knives.
00:59:52.720
And I think the pork facilities are probably safe because they don't do pork, but those are probably run by ruthless Chinese.
01:00:00.820
The ruthless Chinese in North Carolina, hog farms, treated poorly.
01:00:09.500
So there's no real win-win when you buy, like, mass-produced food like that.
01:00:16.260
There are other videos we could have chosen as well to show the same point.
01:00:20.620
Other people are like, yes, I've seen similar things.
01:00:23.800
So, you know, that's the cost of doing business with cheap labor.
01:00:27.460
You get a little bit of behavior that, oh, that doesn't look right.
01:00:31.320
But they don't correct it enough because the cheap labor is too worth it.
01:00:36.120
And then you put up a sign explaining how to use the bathroom, but they don't correlate that sign as directions for me.
01:00:54.400
And like we said, we're not against the Somalis.
01:00:56.860
The Somali Pirates could be the new football logo.
01:01:02.000
As they displace their Scandinavian counterparts, the Vikings, you know, pirates.
01:01:10.560
We're now moving on to the final page of housekeeping.
01:01:30.200
I need to thank a special thank you to Holly and Ben.
01:01:33.060
They sent me a very special thing to the P.O. Box.
01:01:36.060
Can't say what it is, but it's displayed in my house front and center.
01:01:48.400
All good things from the P.O. Box and we're very grateful.
01:01:50.960
And Christmas is coming, so load the P.O. Box back up, please, for Christmas.
01:01:57.640
First things first, this guy's got some sort of pigeon machine.
01:02:28.940
So he's, what, going to cook the pigeon and now he's garlic infused?
01:02:32.620
I thought he was just, like, maybe being nice and feeding the bird.
01:02:36.300
I guess they could be cooking the pigeon and making him garlic infused.
01:02:39.660
This is kind of what you do where you stuff the goose, you know, stuff the goose full
01:02:44.440
with, what's that food thing that people don't like?
01:02:55.000
Where they force feed the goose until he's so fat.
01:03:02.880
I think you just showed us a little torture, culinary Chinese type of guy.
01:03:09.680
I'm showing you guys what's going on out there.
01:03:15.620
Probably because all the food and all the shots you give them are poison.
01:03:21.900
How bad is the food that we're giving out our pets?
01:03:25.080
Well, it depends on what you're feeding, but it's pretty bad.
01:03:27.600
When I was a student, we went to Italy and we went to Assisi.
01:03:32.780
And we were looking at the, you know, examining dogs there and they were all healthy.
01:03:43.320
And I said to them, what do you, because this is 30 years ago or more.
01:03:48.800
American dogs were fat with diabetes and hypothyroidism and bad teeth and all the things.
01:03:59.980
We're told that that's the worst thing you could do is feed your dog off the table, right?
01:04:05.200
Well, what were we doing for 10,000 years until the dog food industry evolved?
01:04:10.940
Well, I always say to people, what do you mean human food is bad for them?
01:04:25.920
But remember, they put pretty pictures on the bags.
01:04:31.560
It's the crap at the slaughterhouse that we can't eat.
01:04:34.040
So this is cows that have been treated with antibiotics or pentabarbitals in their food
01:04:39.160
because they've been euthanized or it's claws, udders, whatever.
01:04:57.520
And it's a combination of meat with organs blended up and it comes in a subscription.
01:05:05.180
And then I put maybe sometimes some calcium dust from ground up egg shells.
01:05:14.480
Somebody said that dogs used to live 15 years and now the average age is 10 and they all
01:05:26.920
If you're eating like the average American diet of processed food, you're like, oh, give
01:06:08.480
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.
01:06:17.240
Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games.
01:06:19.800
And with no wagering requirements, what you win is yours to keep.
01:06:28.120
Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating.
01:06:33.080
Concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you?
01:06:37.860
Hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.
01:06:41.300
I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.
01:06:44.620
Spreaker is the all-in-one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute your show everywhere.
01:06:51.740
But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.
01:06:57.740
That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes.
01:07:02.080
And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you.
01:07:06.820
This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.
01:07:10.260
Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can pay for bonus content or early access,
01:07:16.840
adding another revenue stream to what you're already doing.
01:07:22.080
Whether you're just starting out or running a full-blown podcast network,
01:07:25.600
Spreaker's powerful tools scale effortlessly as your show grows.
01:07:29.540
So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it,
01:07:41.500
And then the whole thing turns into a fucking rice swamp.
01:07:50.640
So it's like, thank you, God, for this wonderful creation.
01:08:00.120
You plant one rice and it turns into rice forever?
01:08:02.480
Yeah, it's like doubling a penny every day until you're a millionaire.
01:08:10.500
We all saw the TikTok about doubling your penny every day.
01:08:15.700
So the rice, like the whole world is meant to just be abundant.
01:08:40.720
Bungalow, Craftsman, Cape Cod, Colonial, Dutch Colonial, Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean,
01:08:50.240
Tudor, Victorian, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, Georgian, Neoclassical, Federal,
01:09:01.860
Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, Ranch House, Split Level, Farmhouse, Modern Farmhouse,
01:09:10.720
French Provincial, Chateauesque, Tuscan, Mediterranean Revival, Mission Revival, Pueblo Revival, Log Cabin, Coach House or Carriage House, Shotgun House, Brownstone, Row House, Town House, A-Frame, Chalet, Cottage, Storybook, Brutalist.
01:09:42.060
I like Greek Revival, Neoclassical, Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco, Mediterrarium, and Modern Farmhouse and Brutalist.
01:09:56.800
That's the whole point of this whole fucking thing.
01:10:08.980
I don't like any of the Spanish or the Mediterranean.
01:10:18.040
Makes me feel like I'm part of American history.
01:10:30.640
It looks like a tutor that got turned into something different.
01:10:48.220
And, you know, we've gotten too far from our roots.
01:10:50.900
I was thinking the other day, I want a stone fireplace that I actually heat the house with.
01:11:06.120
Now we got HVAC system and then gray vinyl floors, millennial shit.
01:11:15.100
You live in the carriage house with the horses.
01:11:22.500
And I mentioned this in the intro, so we can't cut it.
01:11:35.520
He doesn't even know what he's saying, but listen to what he says.
01:11:45.040
There's going to be a tsunami and a, like, flood, but they call it the flood 2.0.
01:11:57.860
And, like, there's going to be a wave and, like, there's going to be a tsunami and a, like, a flood.
01:12:10.420
And then the, like, the tsunami's going to be 800 meters in the air.
01:12:41.640
The lady is asking about logistics of how much 800 meters is, but he calls it the flood 2.0, which isn't a real phrase kids know.
01:12:56.180
So we'll be on the lookout for this if Baby Nostradamus is right.
01:12:59.240
Can you go to that second tweet from Baby Nostradamus?
01:13:02.260
He said that we're in a computer simulation, basically.
01:13:07.120
And then I feel like it's a science testing us little people.
01:13:14.580
They really thought reality was real down here, but the little people like us aren't actually real.
01:13:28.840
And his mom's probably egging him on, telling him about an 800 foot tsunami.
01:13:44.480
And if there were, this little kid wouldn't know it.
01:14:03.680
Our first clip of Cringe of the Week is this naked stand-up Muslim woman.
01:14:09.580
If an oppressed Muslim woman can do this show, you can do anything.
01:14:23.260
This show does mean a lot to me because I was covered my whole life.
01:14:28.380
I did wear the hijab when I was seven years old and I wore it for 23 years.
01:14:43.520
When I took the hijab off, though, I paid a really big price.
01:14:54.820
And then he told everyone in the family, nobody talked to her.
01:15:15.200
And as soon as you got away from your dad's authority,
01:15:17.360
you went naked on stage for free in New York City.
01:15:25.240
You sold out for 15 people doing sympathy laughs in Bushwick
01:15:29.600
Everyone's got to come and you have to order at least two drinks.
01:15:46.280
Do whatever you want as long as you're not in America.
01:15:49.240
we must put the daughters in hijabs because if they don't,
01:15:52.140
And it's like, I doubt that's what's going to happen.
01:16:10.460
All right, next we have another Leslie Jones clip.
01:16:20.300
And listen to what she says about how black people are being treated.
01:16:24.920
why does America have so much hatred for black people?
01:16:37.080
Is it because people need a scapegoat for their own shortcomings?
01:16:51.260
Is it because you're afraid that we're going to treat you like you treated us?
01:17:06.420
It's because my bike and power tools are missing from the garage.
01:17:10.980
It has nothing to do with the sins of the past or fear of retribution.
01:17:16.200
has there ever been like a black country that kind of came in and overthrew a white country?
01:17:30.200
Okay, so I guess there is some retribution there.
01:17:32.700
But there's never, I don't get this perspective of like,
01:17:37.660
you know, not acknowledging that black behavior is somehow involved in black perception.
01:17:43.700
Like there's this totally disconnected thing where it has to all go historical or past injustices or body shape or something.
01:18:04.980
I was at the gas station and two guys in shysties came and they were walking and like holding their pants up and kind of alluding to having a weapon in their back pocket.
01:18:19.440
And she's yelling and doing bits and sprinkling in jokes like that Oliver or whatever on HBO does.
01:18:27.580
But it's actually the opposite of what she said.
01:18:36.440
They get out of crimes they commit all the time.
01:18:38.640
And they're promoted in businesses when they're less qualified.
01:18:41.580
So it's like the opposite of reality is what she's like discussing.
01:18:47.500
It's like she's like presenting this picture of the world we live in and it's the opposite of reality.
01:18:53.840
It's like we're going bending over backwards to give black people more than they should get.
01:19:06.160
Hey, there's people that have committed 40 felonies and they get let back out on the street.
01:19:10.540
And it's like if we had her perspective and the reality is what she's presenting, wouldn't it be like, hey, you look like a guy who commits felonies.
01:19:17.780
Let's lock you up right now without doing any crime.
01:19:28.160
Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.
01:19:37.300
Feel the fun with all the latest slots and live casino games.
01:19:39.860
And with no wagering requirements, what you win is yours to keep.
01:19:48.020
Boarding will begin when passenger Fisher is done celebrating.

01:20:58.220
We have a couple people here who live in a world with dolls as people in their lives.
01:21:15.660
My beautiful wife, Emily, here gave birth to our twins almost three years ago, November 11th to be exact.
01:21:24.640
Right there on that table, she gave birth to these kids.
01:21:28.420
I actually had to help because she went into labor and there was no doctor.
01:21:53.840
My wife gave birth to these kids on that table.
01:21:58.100
If you want to see the pregnancy video, it's pinned in my bio.
01:22:22.120
Is this guy really lonely or is he doing a prank on the internet?
01:22:25.320
And then you scroll the TikTok page and there's about 500 videos.
01:22:33.100
And you could tell when I thought it was a joke is when the baby dropped off and he didn't care.
01:22:38.620
But here we have footage of him actually delivering Emily's first pregnancy.
01:22:58.300
You're probably going to need a little plastic surgery after this, Emily.
01:23:18.240
He's got all the old Americana, American Pickers stuff.
01:23:26.600
And we have a woman, another woman who's kind of going viral as well.
01:23:33.880
This guy, you know, I don't know what he's up to.
01:24:27.780
Putting together the storage racks and organizing all the hair accessories.
01:24:40.900
This is kind of like when they give a stuffed animal to the monkey when the baby dies and
01:24:44.560
the monkey carries around the stuffed animal baby.
01:24:48.900
Something happened here that was very dark that made her short circuit.
01:24:52.660
And now she's going back to, like, her family of three before the divorce or something.
01:25:02.860
You know how sometimes in your personal life you go, oh, man, I just rotted on the couch.
01:25:08.060
I just ate three things of popcorn and I watched two movies.
01:25:13.780
This lady has a thing where she's being productive but didn't get anything done today.
01:25:19.800
It's all play, like, oh, I had to feed Macy and then I changed Mary's diaper and it's
01:25:32.120
So, like, the downstairs neighbors think there's a normal family up there.
01:25:36.740
So what's worse, scrolling reels for three hours or getting all the kids ready for three
01:25:48.300
At least the other one you learn about a Tudor house or the neoclassical.
01:25:55.080
This one, you're building a case against yourself when they come, like, what's it called?
01:26:10.700
Just a lesson to you guys to know who's out there.
01:26:22.820
Everyone says, oh, you only show black people in urban.
01:26:33.020
People buy those realistic dolls and they go crazy.
01:26:36.900
I saw a lot of discourse online the other week about how they used to make girls in high
01:26:49.320
We had that where like the baby would cry for a couple hours.
01:26:52.620
I think we had to take care of an egg for a week.
01:27:00.360
But people were debating whether or not that helped or hurt the birth rate.
01:27:07.280
Some people argued it hurt it because it made it seem like responsibility with none of the
01:27:19.360
Tamagotchi was like the connection between the tech and the baby.
01:27:25.240
Well, hey, if you see anyone getting one of those real dolls or trending in that direction,
01:27:43.000
Our first story from Urban Decay is a local story I thought was pretty funny.
01:27:50.260
Despite racial profiling concerns, Tampa City Council advances ordinance banning bike
01:27:58.840
So is it a racial profiling thing or all the people doing bike stunts, popping wheelies
01:28:07.680
And you can either be called racist and get the society you want to live in, or you can
01:28:16.280
And then you have black teenagers doing bike stunts where they do the wheelie and swerve
01:28:28.040
The guy with the basket and his thing going out with his wife.
01:28:35.180
Again, despite racial concerns, instead of saying scourge or scourge of bad bike stunts
01:28:42.560
finally coming to an end with new law, instead of like positively saying it, you just have
01:28:50.540
Cops stopped those black teenagers from aggressive bike stunts.
01:29:12.720
The Cinnabon lady dropped the N-bomb after being harassed by some Somalis.
01:29:42.980
What the fuck is right with you, you fucking ugly bitch?
01:29:47.400
You just ruined your life to the woman with a criminal record working at the Cinnabon at
01:29:53.980
I think she'll find employment somewhere else, guys.
01:29:56.380
And she ended up raising over 100 grand so far at this point.
01:30:01.420
She made like three years of salary in a weekend.
01:30:11.060
But I don't personally donate to the random N-word lady who we probably later find out
01:30:23.080
And some context for that clip, they were harassing her before that, saying she was sexualizing
01:30:31.400
Those were Somalis in Wisconsin, by the way, guys.
01:30:38.040
Like you're just a white woman at Cinnabon, no institutional power, nothing to really oppress
01:30:44.960
someone by except not giving them their cinnamon roll.
01:30:47.900
And then all you have to do is say one word and it'll go, it'll make the rounds everywhere.
01:30:56.500
Like every white person just has this pulsating like Marvel movie orb inside of them.
01:31:02.640
And all you have to do is say one six letter word against, you know, certain skin color.
01:31:07.300
And then it's actually a great financial decision.
01:31:11.520
The only way to escape this shitty economy is like hit a 10 leg parlay, some sort of shit
01:31:16.980
coin payoff, or you say the N word at the mall.
01:31:24.540
And to be fair, they called her a Karen, which in my book is an anti-white slur.
01:31:29.840
And then if it's so bad here, these Somalis should go back and live somewhere else.
01:31:41.300
But this is the story of the day, not the $8 billion stolen by Somali fraudsters, this
01:31:48.140
And keep in mind, they raised over half a million dollars for Carmelo Anthony when he killed
01:32:06.640
And, you know, if you guys want to go back to caring about the N word once we get 40 million
01:32:11.680
migrants out, I'm open to a discussion after 40 million are gone.
01:32:16.720
But, yeah, there's this sort of like looseness.
01:32:19.860
The Somalis also started a GoFundMe of their own that raised like no money.
01:32:24.500
So it's this interesting thing where we don't care anymore and we're kind of signaling that
01:32:32.180
And I don't really donate to them, but I like it.
01:32:40.260
And we have some tweets to go along with this story.
01:32:42.700
These people think you should lose your job and be stabbed to death over a word and we're
01:32:51.440
Like, and when you say the N word in this Cinnabon thing, that's like, oh, I got the shot.
01:33:09.080
It's not like, oh, my God, that really hurt me.
01:33:11.280
Imagine if they said the word and it's like, ah, ah, and you start having a panic attack.
01:33:21.940
It becomes almost paradoxical where they go, bingo, I got the word.
01:33:29.460
Uh, every time a white Cinnabon employee calls a Somali, the N word, an angel gets
01:33:36.300
And we have to live in a society where there's no magic words.
01:33:39.200
Everyone's for free speech, except you can't say this or except you don't say that.
01:33:51.100
I mean, even if you lose your cool at Cinnabon, you could probably be fired.
01:33:54.860
Like you're, you're harassed, disrespectful, and you're fighting with a customer.
01:33:59.860
But this whole magic word, they got to disavow you on Twitter and do this thing.
01:34:03.540
And that's why it's become fun to do the GoFundMes.
01:34:06.880
And we have a team, uh, we have a, uh, a team of the, uh, magic word sayers.
01:34:16.620
Some of them's GoFundMes bigger than the other.
01:34:27.100
Hi, I'm Darren Marler, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.
01:34:29.820
I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.
01:34:33.440
Spreaker is the all-in-one platform that makes it easy to record,
01:34:36.880
host, and distribute your show everywhere, from Apple Podcasts to Spotify.
01:34:40.780
But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.
01:34:46.540
That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes.
01:34:50.860
And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you,
01:34:55.900
This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.
01:34:58.800
Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners
01:35:02.960
can pay for bonus content or early access, adding another revenue stream to what you're
01:35:10.920
Whether you're just starting out or running a full-blown podcast network,
01:35:14.440
Spreaker's powerful tools scale effortlessly as your show grows.
01:35:18.380
So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it,
01:35:27.140
In the same theme of the N-word, some people think the N-word is so racist that it should
01:35:34.580
Can we get better punishment for people who are racist?
01:35:37.580
Because genuinely, these people can be racist and nothing happens.
01:35:40.840
Like, they can literally be the most racist person and they don't get no penalty or nothing.
01:35:45.580
I think we should treat it as a crime to be racist.
01:35:48.820
Like, genuinely, because it literally interrupts how we interact and do things.
01:36:11.720
This guy, it's the 75 IQ take where you say, oh, that should be illegal because I don't
01:36:17.960
And most of society agrees that we don't like it.
01:36:20.180
Well, ignoring the underlying fundamental difference between America and everywhere
01:36:25.340
else, which is you can say whatever you want with, like, marginal exceptions of, like, bomb
01:36:31.500
threats or yelling fire in a theater, the classic First Amendment cases.
01:36:35.160
But it's like sacrificing the most important rights you have for that uncomfy thing just
01:36:46.700
And it's ironic that that person wants it to be illegal when it's not even illegal to steal
01:36:58.300
For a long time, you could steal as much as you want up until $900 and you don't get in
01:37:05.760
And then transitioning this into our next story, kind of, which we mentioned in the intro,
01:37:11.740
the word itself is not illegal and you can kind of get away with it.
01:37:17.640
But we're seeing more and more examples of people who stretch you using that word into
01:37:23.280
accelerated penalties or unescalated into a hate crime.
01:37:28.100
And we've shown a few examples before, and now this one, Portland jury clears black man
01:37:33.440
of assault because white man he said, or he stabbed, had said the N-word.
01:37:39.800
So he was cleared of the stabbing even though the victim said the N-word after he was stabbed.
01:37:46.180
The headline neglects to mention that the victim only used a racial slur after being stabbed.
01:37:50.680
The article itself explicitly states there's no evidence the victim used a slur prior to
01:37:55.340
You see him saying the N-word on the police body cam after the incident.
01:38:03.360
And this was, he was found not guilty by a Portland jury who obviously was heavily told
01:38:12.260
Edwards, who is homeless, had a previous assault conviction, admitted to knifing the victim,
01:38:17.440
Gregory Howard Jr., but claimed it was self-defense because the other man called him the N-word,
01:38:22.340
Security cameras with no audio captured Edwards with a fixed-blade knife in hand, approaching
01:38:30.140
Howard immediately jumped up and pushed Edwards.
01:38:32.220
Then the two scuffled until Edwards stabbed Howard in the shoulder.
01:38:36.020
Edwards' defense attorney reportedly told the jury that his client was approaching Howard
01:38:40.020
to see if he would trade his knife for cigarettes.
01:38:50.720
And then the guy called him an N-word afterwards.
01:38:52.740
He used racial slurs in the aftermath, but the jury still acquitted him.
01:38:56.420
It's just like street rat shit, but it's that soft, like, where it's not codified in our laws,
01:39:05.640
but it will be used against you in any sort of trial, right?
01:39:10.080
And there's, like, a thing here where you're kind of getting a peek into, like,
01:39:18.660
Like, if you ask someone in Portland or New York or L.A., like, and told them the scenario,
01:39:23.320
they would go, I don't care if someone says the N-word gets stabbed.
01:39:26.000
And I was thinking about it, a jury of your peers in Portland, if you think about that,
01:39:33.560
a jury of your peers doesn't work when the people are retarded.
01:39:37.080
And then, like, what's easier for the bad guys to do?
01:39:39.860
Change the Constitution to lose your right to a fair and speedy trial?
01:39:44.620
Yeah, where you have to get, like, three-fourths of the Congress to do it, you know, to ratify
01:39:49.980
So is the move to change the Constitution and change your judicial process rights?
01:39:55.480
Or make everyone retarded so when you get your jury of your peers, you can still get the
01:40:02.560
bad guy results you want because everyone's retarded.
01:40:05.900
And then Shiloh Hendricks, she called that Somali guy the N-word.
01:40:11.540
And, you know, he had some, like, sketchy criminal past, too.
01:40:15.140
And they just trumped up a disorderly conduct charge on her.
01:40:18.180
So, like, you can say these words, but when you have that soft power, like a district attorney's
01:40:24.060
prosecutorial discretion, they go, oh, that looks like disorderly conduct to me.
01:40:28.560
Same thing with the guy who yelled at Dave Portnoy, right?
01:40:31.720
They charged him for the same thing, disorderly conduct.
01:40:33.960
So, like, all these things, they're kind of, like, loosening the rules where, yeah, you
01:40:39.060
can say the N-word in America, but in the wrong jurisdiction or with the wrong sequence
01:40:44.560
of events beforehand, we can tie you up in court over it.
01:40:50.320
Or we could let this guy go who stabbed someone because you said a no-no word.
01:40:59.820
Like, they think it's, like, some indictment on racism.
01:41:02.940
It's, like, a world where Americans who care are pushing back on getting totally fucked
01:41:14.340
We're moving on to Uplifting Gold, and we have some uplifting stuff today.
01:41:17.120
Our first uplifting story is a missing child was found.
01:41:26.800
And the kid's name is Wise Descience Dickerson.
01:41:32.220
So, this is one of those transitions from Urban Decay to Uplifting Gold.
01:41:38.400
And you can tell that the mother just was pretty hopeful in choosing that name.
01:41:45.440
He's going to be wise, and he's going to enjoy Descience.
01:41:51.780
Do you think maybe they pressured him to read books and learn physics and chemistry?
01:41:58.760
I think the mom was watching a lot of Bill Nye in the delivery room or something.
01:42:04.540
Maybe I'll name him Wise Descience, and he'll be a great scientist.
01:42:08.920
I don't know what goes through these people's names or through their minds while they're
01:42:16.300
Next, this is my favorite clip from Uplifting Gold.
01:42:40.940
I know you don't have to do that accent, right?
01:42:47.280
Very rarely does someone do a bit that's actually funny, and it's like a well-done bit.
01:42:59.360
It was funny, but you're kind of glazing it a little bit.
01:43:09.040
There was a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Switzerland, and they did it in an old school
01:44:12.100
They don't really fuck, like, obviously they can get you.
01:44:18.260
And then these ones who are, like, near the population centers, they learn.
01:44:24.060
Next we have some cowboy dads sending off the high school football team before their playoff game.
01:44:34.520
They're all on the horses, flying the flags, riding alongside the bus.
01:44:41.520
And they're going to send the team off to the playoff game.
01:44:48.040
Now, ride those horses down to Dallas and get the Indians out.
01:44:59.260
Everyone cares about high school football games.
01:45:05.220
You can't take away from the high school football game.
01:45:12.560
So you've got to do the migrant stuff, too, though.
01:45:15.080
You've got to do a little bit of migrant stuff.
01:45:17.980
Our last clip, our Pure Americana clip of the week, which could have been the last clip, but
01:45:24.240
They have a tradition, I think, before the last game where they sing Silent Night.
01:45:52.040
I think they do it in the last two minutes of the game or something.
01:45:54.600
And imagine it's like a nail-biter coming down to the wire.
01:45:58.060
Hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.

Where you're like, if you saw that, and you're playing the last two minutes of a game, and
01:47:05.960
they're singing a song, you'd think you're in a dream.
01:47:15.100
She introduced the show to The Dirt Wizard, and he's been hooked ever since.
01:47:20.720
So thank you, Vic, for sharing the show, and thank you to The Dirt Wizard for sponsoring
01:47:32.600
Shout-out to this Christmas dog watching the show.
01:47:35.340
He's in the Christmas spirit, and I think Christina is the dog owner.
01:47:50.840
Happy shout-out to Jared Fanninsteel, and he's been watching since the beginning, like
01:48:01.000
Him and Aaron are great people, and I'm happy they're getting married, and Jared's a
01:48:10.180
So thank you to you guys for watching, and congrats on getting married.
01:48:19.360
Thank you guys for watching all the way through.
01:48:32.980
Before you leave everybody out, what we did during the time when we got canceled, and remember,
01:48:42.120
We built our whole side parallel infrastructure, Give, Send, Go.
01:48:45.800
You know, we use GoFundMe like we use the word Kleenex.
01:48:49.100
But, like, we had all these canceled things where we were legitimately trying to raise money
01:48:52.620
for people, and then now we're just giving it to Cinnabon and N-word sayers?
01:49:38.380
We're heading to the bathroom, you know we gotta go
01:49:45.720
Cause Flickers and Red Boy just uploaded the show
01:50:22.980
On the last page of housekeeping we're letting Flickers cook
01:50:34.640
There's a new alien spin, a rat boy shoots him a look
01:50:41.080
It's exactly what the feds wouldn't want you to see
01:50:48.400
But it could be a distraction and that rings true to me
01:51:46.320
There's uplifting gold and Flickers pets get controlled
01:52:11.520
We won't stop till the world is rid of all the pit bulls
01:52:26.480
Then just make sure you're subbed to bonus land
01:53:44.660
Words are just words until action actually starts
