Today on the show, our education system has reached an all new low.
00:00:54.720
We'll tell you why this debate championship got canceled.
00:00:58.340

00:01:04.480
Then we have a trans league fantasy draft you're not going to want to miss in Cringe of the Week as well.
00:01:11.140
And in Urban Decay, we had some kids misbehaving badly over Halloween while trick-or-treating.
00:01:17.880
And last but not least, Rep Cori Bush completely humiliates herself trying to explain why billionaires need to pay more in taxes.
00:01:26.620
All this and more, it's Flack of Socks, a podcast episode 121, ranked the best new podcast of all time.
00:01:34.540
Because words are just words until action actually starts.
00:01:40.000
But at the same time, words speak louder than actions because sometimes it's the right thing to do.
00:01:48.240
It's Flack of Socks, a podcast featuring Richard.
00:01:59.540

00:03:13.940
We have a lot of important clips to get to, a very important housekeeping as usual.
00:03:18.300
We're going to start off with the Cori Bush clip.
00:03:20.640
She was interviewed by Fox News, and she was asked why and how billionaires need to pay
00:03:30.140
So you're saying that 40, you're saying that they're paying their fair share is what you're
00:03:35.240
No, I'm asking what percentage is a fair share.
00:03:37.820
Their fair share, the same, if I'm paying, if a third of my money is going to taxes, then
00:03:43.760
I think a third of their money should be going to taxes.
00:03:49.940
I'm trying to understand, because you realize the effective tax rate on the poor is less
00:04:03.040
I'm very close to that line, but I'm not the poor.
00:04:05.260
So the effective tax rate on the middle class is less than it is on the rich, correct?
00:04:15.620
So you see, once he started jamming her up, she went, first of all, she's about to call
00:04:24.920
And I mean, this is from a deep, deep-rooted desire for anyone who makes billions of dollars
00:04:29.820
from their company to just go, hmm, Elon Musk is too rich.
00:04:36.800
I mean, that's basically what it is, because income tax, I mean, everybody likes to say
00:04:43.400
And it's like, yeah, Jeff Bezos is just holding Amazon.
00:04:47.320
And these types have no idea how the system actually works.
00:04:53.380
And then you also see all this, the things she supports behind her and all those posters,
00:04:57.000
the $15 an hour minimum wage, Philando Castillo, BLM.
00:05:02.440
So how much does she understand all of those things as well?
00:05:05.460
This is how much and how passionate, this is how much you know about taxation, and this
00:05:13.660
But someone like her, they just go, oh, yeah, mean racist, white supremacist, all white people
00:05:26.600
And then, yeah, like you said, the AOC types, her, everyone's convinced that times are bad
00:05:35.080
And meanwhile, it's like there are policies that are things that are increasing crime,
00:05:39.000
inflating our money, ruining our schools, exporting our jobs, quality of life's going down.
00:05:46.780
Yeah, you got to let the government waste that money now instead.
00:06:08.460
Expert shoemakers say Ron DeSantis is probably wearing height boosters.
00:06:21.240
He was on the Patrick Bet-David show the other day.
00:06:31.880
And there's something up there because there's no one who's 5'11".
00:06:40.400
If you're 5'8"-5'9", stuffing your shoes with high heels, then you say you're 5'11".
00:06:48.020
Because you think, oh, I'll say I'm 5'11", and people think I'm being honest because if
00:06:51.900
I was a liar and I was 5'11", I'd say I'm 6 foot.
00:06:55.860
So it sounds honest to say 5'11", but that would only work if you're honestly a liar.
00:07:03.880
And the only way you are 5'11 is if you stuffed your shoes and you're like, I can't
00:07:16.220
But here's another clip of him walking around, clunking around.
00:07:26.540
It's like the, yeah, it's like when the little rascals stack up.
00:07:35.060
And then also Ron DeSantis just at the doctor's office, like, oh, all right, let's step right
00:07:59.300
We care that you think it's so important to hide your height.
00:08:02.760
And the way you're doing it is not even like, you know, standing in the foreground or whatever.
00:08:14.720
You're doing projects at home where you and your wife are, like, cutting out the heels
00:08:21.280
What, like, what are the logistics of stuffing these boots if the stuffing the boots is true?
00:08:33.780
And he doesn't tell any of his campaign proxies.
00:08:37.020
So they go on Twitter being like, you're fucking crazy.
00:08:41.300
But Patrick Pet David asked him, and he goes, oh, I haven't heard that before.
00:08:48.080
Postal had a good tweet that kind of summed it up.
00:08:49.820
Ron DeSantis really went from the top governor in America to having to go on live TV and promise
00:09:03.940
And then he wanted to be a MAGA candidate running against MAGA and going against Trump
00:09:14.360
We just clown on him more than we like him and promote him because he's in an adversarial
00:09:37.620
And then leave comments that you actually want to ask us stuff about.
00:09:48.600
Basically, archives located 82,000 pages of Joe Biden pseudonym emails, possibly dwarfing
00:09:59.840
It was emails sent or received during his vice presidential tenure on three private pseudonym
00:10:04.980
accounts, a total that potentially dwarfs the amount that landed Hillary Clinton in hot
00:10:09.620
water a decade ago, according to a federal court filing released Monday.
00:10:30.940
He wrote an op-ed saying that Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon were too mean or something.
00:10:37.060
That making fun of his addiction was worse than the addiction.
00:10:49.200
Like someone who just hasn't seen anything and they go, oh, he doesn't seem bad.
00:10:53.080
I think he's trying to build a case or something and plant seeds.
00:11:00.020
So in a couple of years when they get him for something, he can be like, oh, I actually
00:11:03.280
wrote an article about how much that hurt my mental health.
00:11:06.700
Like he's just putting stuff out there so down the road he can refer back to it, I think.
00:11:13.960
Lots of people, which is weird, especially on the right wing, are fine with civilian deaths.
00:11:26.020
A lot of war crimes, people who are fine with war crimes.
00:11:29.160
And then a lot of people who are pro-life who are like, well, civilians, they are siding
00:11:36.140
First of all, there was a New York Times article.
00:11:40.280
It became evident to U.S. officials that Israeli leaders believed mass civilian casualties were
00:11:53.980
But also, because there was the original terrorist attack on Israel, everyone thinks mass casualty
00:12:05.260
So it's like now that they're getting them back, everyone thinks, no, no, no, Israel was
00:12:10.640
But it's like they're going to do actually worse and kill more civilians than were killed
00:12:15.020
But because they were attacked first, they kind of have like a smokescreen.
00:12:19.100
And if you go war crime for war crime, it's just a race to the bottom and you're slaughtering
00:12:34.160
And do you think there should be one for the United States government at which the U.S.
00:12:39.040
would say, let's hold off for a second in terms of civilian casualties?
00:12:43.320
Is there a point at which you would start to question?
00:12:46.400
No, if somebody asked us after World War II, is there a limit what you would do to make
00:12:51.240
sure that Japan and Germany don't conquer the world?
00:12:54.180
Is there any limit what Israel should do to the people who are trying to slaughter the
00:13:07.660
And then who is expected to take in all of the displaced refugees after this offensive?
00:13:23.060
So on one hand, these people are irredeemably evil.
00:13:28.320
They deserve to die because they're terrorist sympathizers.
00:13:30.880
But then on the other hand, we have to take in all these refugees because they've been
00:13:37.680
And this whole situation with Israel is kind of like showing people's true colors politically,
00:13:43.000
where it's like usually you have a set of rules and morals that you live by and you
00:13:48.640
And there seems to be like that kind of seems to be thrown out the window.
00:13:52.840
And then like Israel, Hamas situation has like its own set of independent rules that
00:14:04.780
When it's time to play, it's easy to find your next favorite game with Bodog.
00:14:11.120

00:14:21.140
But there is something about the state of Israel that connects deeply to me.
00:14:27.540
To have the privilege to stand with the Jew is a tremendous honor.
00:14:46.480
And then this other guy, he had a similar thing that the Jews are God's chosen people.
00:14:51.640
Well, for one thing, let me just say that the Jews are God's chosen people.
00:14:58.440
But notwithstanding that, they were attacked by a vicious terrorist organization who didn't
00:15:05.320
kill civilians inadvertently in defending themselves.
00:15:23.460
Like, ignore every, you know, however I get to my other decisions.
00:15:28.880
Okay, I need people to help me in the comments.
00:15:30.920
I know there's good Christian people in the comments who are more well-versed on this than
00:15:39.780
Why would God's chosen people not accept Christ?
00:15:48.240
They're like, oh, they're God's chosen people on one hand, and on the other hand, like,
00:15:51.980
they don't acknowledge Jesus as the son of God.
00:15:55.460
They don't think he was a prophet or anything like that either.
00:15:58.920
Like, we've seen what Ben Shapiro said about Jesus.
00:16:01.680
So it's like, why would God's chosen people on one hand be God's chosen people, and then
00:16:05.480
on the other hand, they reject Christ entirely?
00:16:10.880
Because when I hear the Jews are God's chosen people, it just kind of hits my brain, and
00:16:20.140
I want to be informed, and I want to be educated.
00:16:23.240
There's good people in the comments who can explain that to me, I'm sure.
00:16:29.040
Why do Christians agree that Jews are God's chosen people?
00:16:34.420
That's where it would be like, no, I think it's us.
00:16:39.980
It's like the God's chosen people are the ones who believe in Christ.
00:16:48.820
So let us know, because I want to be informed on that.
00:16:51.980
And also, I saw this thing about how some Jews don't use the plus sign.
00:17:03.920
And it says, the Jewish tradition dates from the 19th century to write a plus sign using
00:17:08.580
It was adopted by Israeli schools in commonplace today in elementary schools.
00:17:14.280
The reason this practice is it avoids writing the symbol plus that looks like a Christian cross.
00:17:19.880
So it's like, you guys don't want to even acknowledge a Christian cross, but you're God's chosen people
00:17:32.360
There was a Palestinian protest, a pro-Palestinian protest, and they really sent out not the
00:17:42.100
This is who is taking up arms in the West for Palestine cause.
00:17:49.660
Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.
00:18:07.160
And eventually they come together and they get an ace and then they win the league at the
00:18:14.900
And it's weird because those people are like kind of the typical protester types.
00:18:21.660
And they see the Palestinian cause as like an anti-white thing.
00:18:29.160
And then they don't understand like global politics.
00:18:31.500
They think Jewish people are under the white umbrella.
00:18:34.200
And they're like, oh, these white people are oppressing these Muslim people.
00:18:37.320
These brown people were on the anti-white side.
00:18:42.760
Dave Rubin drove by a protest and called the people Nazis driving past a Nazi rally in London.
00:18:49.860
Like, again, it's all rules are out the window when it's your personal, like, war.
00:18:56.720
So we pride ourselves on like not blanket labeling people things just to disqualify them and not
00:19:23.960
But, you know, I thought that's a little it's escalating.
00:19:35.780
Should I tell them or do you want to tell them?
00:19:38.800
Well, there's a rumor going around that you were giving the trick-or-treaters the banana
00:19:43.520
Laffy Taffy so you could save the Snickers and the Reese's for yourself.
00:20:00.940
And he said it's a character from a web comic I write, which is cool.
00:20:13.020
And then I was just giving out, like, handfuls of candy because I don't know.
00:20:17.280
So I was just like, handful, handful, happy to have you.
00:20:23.140
And it's like, don't you guys have unfettered access to, like, anything you want?
00:20:37.760
A lot of people commute to the nice neighborhood to go trick-or-treating there.
00:20:51.040
And I kind of want to just tell you guys, like, why we do it.
00:20:55.380
It's kind of to remind everyone that anything is possible.
00:21:04.080
One day, your snoring is a sign of an underlying health issue.
00:21:13.380
But the next day, they named a snowplow Snarf Snarf.
00:21:16.400
When it's time to play, it's easy to find your next favorite game with Fodog.
00:21:22.220

00:21:37.020
You're not snoring anymore, as far as you know.
00:21:48.660
Also, I wanted to, you know how you said a couple of minutes ago, people are going crazy?
00:22:00.860
For example, when I pull the rope and fight with Jerry, he has a toy rope.
00:22:04.920
When I hear the rope slide through his teeth, it kind of like gives me the heebie-jeebies.
00:22:10.700
And then when I'm watching movies and someone's on a high-up ledge or on a cliff or hanging from like a rafter or something.
00:22:16.740
I feel the feeling of being high up for a second.
00:22:20.460
So it's like whatever is going on, they're like ramping it up.
00:22:29.420
And I'm more sensitive to, I don't know, stimuli.
00:22:35.200
I see someone like hanging off a ledge in a movie.
00:22:38.560
And I, for a second, get the feeling of being on that ledge.
00:23:28.700
And then we have Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramswami and Rob Flark.
00:23:44.080
It's kind of like a little sports update section.
00:23:48.760
I just got offered to become a NASCAR driver for part time.
00:24:29.600
Along with our fascination of random urban names, I guess we'll call them.
00:24:50.700
What's crawling all over my skin and laying eggs on me?
00:25:07.740
You need to be sending us gifts to the P.O. box.
00:25:15.900
Here's an example of something I would be happy to receive.
00:25:32.420
Send us two of whatever you send so Richard Rathaway can have one, too.
00:25:35.780
Don't send us anything illegal or else you'll kill the fake intern.
00:25:54.900
He probably was just separating his German sausage with sauerkraut.
00:25:59.320
And in the background, his mom was like, fucking eat your sausage.
00:26:09.340
And then he's like, one day, one day, I will be able to do this properly with other picky eaters.
00:26:20.540
These days I'm just obsessed with racial cleansing.
00:26:37.540
And the people ask me, like, what kind of race?
00:26:49.140
And I was thinking, all right, she's doing the bit where it's like the Indy 500.
00:27:04.000
I've been obsessed with racial cleansing lately.
00:27:07.460
You know, sometimes I feel like, hey, are we talking about Ronda Santa's boots too much?
00:27:14.280
And then people got dressed, did a two drink minimum, went out, got a date.
00:27:25.860
People can watch us in the comfort of their own home.
00:27:35.520
And they go, oh, we're talking about racial cleansing.
00:27:37.020
She tried them on someone who didn't speak English as well as her.
00:27:47.280
We have our doppels, which we don't really do anymore.
00:28:02.540
Here's Rat Boy introducing to the Falcons, David Harreld's team manager.
00:28:14.220
I assumed it was the NFL, but it looks like a different logo.
00:28:38.240
No audio because it's copyright, but there's me.
00:29:02.640
Look at the RRB beard, the iced coffee glasses.
00:29:38.220
And, uh, I just want to show you, uh, how we put on our gas mask as fast as possible.
00:29:52.360
You get the mask on first and then you strap it up later.

00:31:09.220
First clip of Cringe is the puberty blocker for trans kids person.
00:31:14.780
The thing that gets me about the anti-trans conservative rhetoric around like puberty
00:31:18.400
blockers for trans kids is that if they really did care about making sure children weren't
00:31:23.800
being mutilated or weren't being like coerced, they would be the number one advocates for
00:31:29.120
puberty blockers, not only because they're empirically supported and because they were
00:31:32.520
developed for cisgender people, but because they would realize that forcing somebody to
00:31:37.280
go through a puberty with a dominant hormone that is misaligned with your actual gender,
00:31:51.220
It turns out going through your natural gender puberty is, that's mutilation.
00:32:04.080
Hey, if everything was backwards and opposite, then you'd be the real bad guy.
00:32:27.140
Is this Harry Gender Bender next up out of Atlanta?
00:32:35.020
I think he's on my short list of people who are my favorite trans people.
00:32:49.780
I like that what he's saying though is like the natural process you go through is like
00:32:56.200
So it's like, what does it say about your worldview if your number one opponent is nature?
00:33:07.640
So it's, and I was talking to the medic Sisyphus about this and he was saying something similar
00:33:12.360
where it's like, he's so narcissistic that he thinks his feelings like outweigh nature.
00:33:19.420
Like, oh, kids will go change from, you know, 15 to 20.
00:33:24.740
But if you feel weird, like you're more important than what's going to naturally happen, which
00:33:30.800
So take a ton of pharmaceuticals and suppress that.
00:33:33.720
And even, and if you stop taking them, the nature reclaims.
00:33:38.000
It's like plants growing over a Detroit empty lot.
00:33:41.820
You know, nature comes back if you're not constantly playing defense.
00:33:46.960
My pick, my favorite gender bender is this next guy who is getting misgendered at the
00:33:53.540
restaurants and records himself getting misgendered and then complains.
00:33:58.140
And we've covered this guy in the elevator last week.
00:34:02.040
And then we've covered him, you know, a time before when it was the urban youths and he
00:34:07.560
wanted the dainty stewardess or, uh, not stewardess, the dainty hostess.
00:34:37.860
I also, I did specifically ask ahead of time not to be called sir.
00:34:58.540
There's the one where he goes to the Chinese restaurant.
00:35:00.920
Um, and it's like clearly like an Asian person who doesn't know.
00:35:10.040
Hey, I just want to tell you that the person who gave me this called me sir.
00:35:20.520
Just like, it kind of just hurts a lot to get called sir.
00:35:32.980
First generation immigrant working a waitress job at a Chinese restaurant.
00:35:37.200
Just going like, no, we're backwards and upside down here.
00:35:45.660
Uh, we got to come up with a name for this guy.
00:35:56.780
Um, but I think it's kind of like this, uh, trans, like, I don't know, stimulus, stimulus
00:36:04.900
that they like where he defends himself super aggressively.
00:36:08.180
And so like normally people, they get misgendered, they go, Oh, I'm sad now.
00:36:15.120
So it's like kind of like a, uh, converse, uh, adversarial type thing.
00:36:23.280
Even though you're the most masculine trans person I've ever seen.
00:36:27.280
Like the victimhood content, standing up for yourself content is like a wave that's coming.
00:36:34.460
And then there was a funny comment on it where someone replied to him and said skill issue.
00:36:39.780
Meaning like it's not their fault for misgendering you.
00:36:55.680
So this guy is like an up and coming, uh, trans person.
00:36:59.820
He's like a top pick in my, if we were to have a trans draft, I want him to be my first
00:37:28.640
Um, it's, I'm stuck between Dylan Mulvaney and the Wachowski sisters.
00:37:48.460
I'm going to go ahead and snag the luggage twink.
00:37:55.200
Um, well the guy last, I'll pick the guy from the last video.
00:38:02.620
And I'll take Jeffrey Marsh, the guy who has a Patreon and who always tries to talk to the
00:38:21.900
I roughly, I was never in a debate club, but I roughly know how they work.
00:38:25.180
You get two sides of an argument and then both groups make their points and then whoever
00:38:39.920
And there's kind of a tweet that explains what happened.
00:38:43.960
I'll explain it in the tweet for a second, but you want to play this old clip just to
00:38:47.740
kind of, yeah, this is our current favorite debate.
00:38:51.300
Before this debate clip, this was our favorite debate clip.
00:38:54.320
Uh, these people won a debate championship, uh, Towson university from Towson university.
00:39:00.220
And I think they won because of their race, not because of the argument.
00:39:06.140
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that as well, but we'll let the debate speak for
00:39:11.600
First of all, the topic was restricting presidential war powers authority.
00:39:17.880
It means that the impact is that that is an impact turn to the afraid that it is the case
00:39:22.840
turned to the affirmative because we, uh, we are saying that queer bodies are not able
00:39:26.520
That it necessarily means that the body, uh, of the nigga is not able to survive.
00:39:29.800
Um, we got the topic in about July, um, and we started doing our research then.
00:39:33.800
That when the nigga, uh, sees he's suffering, that he can only, uh, envision himself, that
00:39:38.700
he, uh, does not see another nigga that he, uh, can feel sympathy for or embrace, but
00:39:43.020
rather, uh, that, uh, that, that other, you get the point.
00:39:45.940
So that was how the debate went and everyone, I guess the judges heard it and were like,
00:39:54.840
I didn't, I couldn't even hear anything from the heavy breathing and the crazy guys
00:40:03.020
So everything's been quiet since then, but the other week, uh, uh, this was a high school
00:40:12.080
Um, and what you were about to watch is the final round.
00:40:15.720
Wanted to give him credit cause he's the main dude who was reporting this.
00:40:19.180
Uh, what you're about to watch is the final round of the most prestigious national high
00:40:23.980
Team A proceeds to tell team B that they will not be debating the assigned topic, which was
00:40:29.080
the benefits slash costs of the IMF because trans people are being genocided by MAGA Republicans.
00:40:34.520
And that's more important than debating the IMF.
00:40:37.380
Oh, so no debate because MAGA people are killing trans people.
00:40:42.600
So they, they started by playing like an old AIDS protest commercial thing and then went
00:40:54.200
We are tired of how debate treats trans people.
00:40:56.520
More than that, we are tired of the way that their treatment is normal.
00:40:58.960
How it is treated as a necessary by-product of having good discourse.
00:41:02.580
When a nationally ranked team is bold enough to read arguments and make trans people uncomfortable
00:41:05.960
in front of an 11 person panel and not be called out for it, something needs to change.
00:41:09.720
When a trans kid can go three years in debate, believing being misgendered was simply something
00:41:13.220
he needed to take in order to win ballots, something needs to change.
00:41:16.420
When almost every trans person quits debate or considers quitting several times a month,
00:41:20.280
several times a week, several times a day, something needs to change.
00:41:29.520
And so it was, it's a big struggle session, a big torture where if you don't agree, then
00:41:35.900
you're the bad guy or something and you're a high schooler and you're not in the culture
00:41:45.460
They said they will occupy the debate space until trans debaters can participate safely.
00:41:49.740
Uh, the team they were going against then immediately concedes the round because they don't want
00:41:54.800
to dispute that trans genocide is real and be labeled transphobic right before college.
00:41:59.400
You know, everyone's on debate team to get into college.
00:42:02.160
You want to be the transphobic guy who goes, no, I want to debate the IMF right now.
00:42:10.500
Um, and so this was the final round of the most prestigious high school debate tournament
00:42:17.080
Um, and then the worst part, this guy says the judges praised this team for their bravery
00:42:22.400
and courage and crowned them the national champions.
00:42:27.660
You just like sneak something under and you go, I'm the champion.
00:42:33.600
I did whatever I wanted and it was virtue signaling, which that's what college is for anyway.
00:42:46.780
It's important to recognize that debate is not about winning an argument.
00:42:49.940
It's about making sure everyone feels okay and making sure everyone feels safe.
00:42:54.140
So when that's hindered upon, I think that's when debate becomes essentially useless in the
00:42:59.640
So, so the point of debate is not to win an argument.
00:43:11.300
That's for literal children crawling on their tummies and they get tummy time.
00:43:19.040
And the point of the debate is not to win an argument.
00:43:21.980
It's like, uh, actually that's exactly what the point of debate is.
00:43:28.940
And it's just like, here's how to feel good about yourselves.
00:43:33.720
It's like, imagine this guy, like a construction crew started doing this.
00:43:38.160
I'm not doing construction because the trans people are getting killed.
00:43:45.100
And the boss would come in and go, we're giving you full pay.
00:43:53.380
And so a little, a couple of little other updates.
00:43:55.900
Here's one of the judges, the woke debate judge is ready for Halloween and he's a communist
00:44:01.940
So, you know, they, they power grab the debate and then, you know, all you have to do is do
00:44:10.900
We need to go to college for free and get this education.
00:44:13.280
Um, and some uplifting news, uh, homeschooling, here's the graph for homeschooling.
00:44:24.140
Kamala Harris is probably going to say it's the greatest enemy of America soon or something.
00:44:36.320
They're mad about, you know, MAGA Republicans and trans and how it's illegal to be trans.
00:44:45.280
Trans people are under attack and they're claiming it's from MAGA Republicans.
00:44:52.360
Investigators say the teenage suspect was so enraged that after shooting the victim multiple
00:44:56.700
times, he left and then returned to the crime scene to open fire.
00:45:00.740
Once again, police say video from the neighborhood led them to the alleged killer.
00:45:04.940
18 year old Orlando Perez now held without bond.
00:45:07.880
Investigators say Perez had gone home with the victim, 37 year old Selena Reyes Hernandez shortly
00:45:16.240
And in her basement apartment in Marquette Park, Perez learned Reyes Hernandez was transgender.
00:45:29.100
And then he brutally murdered the victim in this case.
00:45:41.300
And then a young Latino type, Latino type, not a MAGA Republican went and executed them.
00:45:51.140
And I think that's what a lot of the murders of trans people that everyone talks about.
00:45:59.560
Not done by white MAGA, whatever they say, MAGA Republicans.
00:46:14.640
And then you freak out and forget all the rules for a second.
00:46:32.160
And so, you know, someone got beat up somewhere down the supply chain line to get that pumpkin flavor.
00:46:40.240
And because it's something white people tend to enjoy, it's the end of the world.
00:46:44.620
We're not even going to get into the specifics of the article.
00:46:46.960
That's just what they're busy spinning their wheels on.
00:46:49.500
Anything that white people like probably has some racist history.
00:46:54.280
Show me the thing and I'll show you the racism.
00:46:59.880
The other one, dozens of bird names honoring enslavers and racists will be changed.
00:47:05.500
The American Ornithological Society says it will alter the names of North American birds named after humans, starting with up to 80 of them.
00:47:14.640
So, I think some of the examples were the Cooper's hawk, a couple others, stuff like that.
00:47:23.220
Those very popular names like Cooper that nobody even associates with a slave owner.
00:47:28.500
Some bird nerd woke pussy ruined it for all you guys.
00:48:26.480
And then the parents are leading the charge and they're raiding the entire bucket of candy.
00:48:31.760
And, you know, people go, and this is kind of representative of what's going on in America,
00:48:37.680
Spanish speaking people rush in, grab all the free stuff they can.
00:48:41.340
I think a bunch of sanctuary city mayors just actually asked Joe Biden for billions of dollars
00:48:46.660
because the sanctuary part is actually happening now.
00:48:55.680
John Doyle had a great tweet about it that really summed it up.
00:48:59.480
He said, what a perfect metaphor for American decline.
00:49:02.300
Americans too lazy or complacent to do what's necessary to preserve their nation.
00:49:09.000
Third world populations immediately capitalize and pillage.
00:49:12.760
And a lot of people will say, oh, this isn't a third world thing.
00:49:22.480
We have a lot of people that are dirtbags here.
00:49:29.700
So there's pieces of shit from here that'll come and do it too.
00:49:36.960
Like right now in America, like Spanish speaking people coming in and taking.
00:49:44.760
I'd say be on your best behavior if you're that type.
00:49:47.520
Because there's going to be a tide against you soon.
00:49:52.240
And then not to be all the way down and depressed,
00:49:56.080
a guy does come later in the night and refill the bucket.
00:50:09.780
I mean, is that a metaphor for sucking the boomers dry?
00:50:23.100
And then hopefully the boomers will bail us out.
00:50:29.960
I was going to say those people who were stealing the candy were animals.
00:50:33.020
But I decided not to because that could come across as, you know, racist or whatever.
00:50:51.320
A bear took, a bear did less damage than this family of Salvadorians or whatever.
00:51:03.720
And I mean, this is, you know, it happens every year, right?
00:51:06.460
There's always a viral video that there's a kid filling up his backpack and he goes,
00:51:12.000
And it's going to happen more because there are ring cams and the, you know, there's cameras
00:51:16.920
But man, the Spanish speakers coming in the family, the adults getting in on it.
00:51:25.420
Once the adults are doing it, it's a bad sign because, oh, we caught you.
00:51:30.680
And it's like, well, my parents told me to do it.
00:51:41.380
So, I mean, another nice little positive of what's going on is the New York City has basically
00:51:48.820
Migrants are behind the boom in Queens red light district, Mayor Adams says.
00:51:58.600
Mayor Eric Adams blamed the rise in prostitution in Corona, Queens, on an influx of female Venezuelan
00:52:03.800
migrants who are struggling to find other work.
00:52:06.080
The Democrats said Tuesday that illegal activity is taking place in an area and that in the area
00:52:11.760
and that it is just one example of how the nation's migrant crisis is affecting the city.
00:52:33.740
New York has a brand and that brand is constantly changing to whoever imports the most Venezuelans,
00:52:45.140
No, like Eric Adams goes, oh, it's an uptick in this.
00:52:51.940
Can you just like firmly disavow and say it's bad and we'll crack it, crack down on it?
00:52:56.420
And then it's like people think that it's impossible to crack down on.
00:52:59.560
But then you look at the graph of El Salvador's homicide rate.
00:53:02.260
Like, oh, they were able to crack down on it pretty good.
00:53:06.540
Oh, it just takes political will and actually following through and consequences, right?
00:53:12.080
Oh, check out this new video that came up of Philly.
00:53:30.140
And this is also how they control pretty much the whole state of Pennsylvania is by Philly voting.
00:53:36.920
And then you kind of look at this and people want to assume that the leaders we have are like trying their best.
00:53:51.440
But it seems like all these cities are getting more fucked up every year for the last, like, 20 years.
00:53:57.780
And you have New York, Philly, San Francisco, L.A.
00:54:06.720
It's like at a certain point, this isn't people trying their best and just the policies aren't working yet, but they're going to one day.
00:54:19.500
It's people who are purposely trying to ruin it.
00:54:23.000
And then obviously they go to the cities, but there's something particularly aggravating about, like, the beacons of Western intellectual progress, hope, you know?
00:54:33.720
Like, Philadelphia, the Declaration of Independence, the Liberty Bell, Paris, the Treaty of Versailles, and, like, all these rich history of, like, men choosing to do the right thing.
00:54:44.840
And now it's just homeless fentanyl street rats, ethnic third worlders.
00:54:57.400
You know how long it took us to build San Francisco into, like, this awesome, like, super rich, wealthy buildings, symphonies?
00:55:07.820
And all it takes is, like, a couple years of, well, we're not punishing criminals to give your city away to the Batman.
00:55:15.920
We're going to give them crack pipes, and hopefully that'll reduce the amount of crack usage.
00:55:26.340
That way they don't have to cook it themselves?
00:55:31.860
Speaking of, you know, brilliant leftist ideas, today, or this was a couple days ago, but Mayor Mario Bowser, the mayor of D.C., announced a pilot program to provide D.C. residents with free digital tracking tags for their vehicles.
00:55:46.400
That way, when your car gets stolen, you can go find it easier.
00:55:48.620
You can go find it, and then whoever was fucking each other in there and doing crack in your car, like, you'll clean that out, but you'll know where your car is.
00:55:55.160
It'll be at the house of the person who stole it, then you can go get it back.
00:55:59.780
Hope you have a gun or a six-foot-five man with you to go make sure that somebody doesn't beat you up for it.
00:56:05.900
And they're also handing out steering wheel locks.
00:56:10.760
They're giving out air tags and steering wheel locks.
00:56:14.060
Several of the mayors of these cities are suing Kia and Hyundai.
00:56:19.680
Did anybody ever think to just maybe make the penalties briefly way more severe for people stealing cars to disincentivize it?
00:56:27.560
Make an example out of one, two, maybe three people?
00:56:40.280
This lady on the bus was mad that this guy was playing music on his phone out loud, and she pushed back.
00:57:21.800
So it's good to see her stepping up, but it's also a sign that we're towards the end.
00:57:31.220
The little Asian ladies, like our front line of defense on the bus.
00:57:34.180
Well, dude, and the black guy who's playing music on a speaker, it's like, all right, whole bus wants to hear this?
00:57:42.540
And so I love that, and I think we made a joke about that before on an airplane, like just yelling, who let the dogs out?
00:57:49.080
Or like, you know, just start singing a song, ladies and gentlemen, mambo number five, and you just start from the beginning.
00:57:55.520
So yeah, modern problems require modern solutions.
00:57:59.120
I was actually at a Chipotle once, like a couple weeks ago, and some kid walked in, and he was playing a portable speaker strapped to his backpack, and I think he was applying for a job.
00:58:10.620
So he wrote down and was doing the paperwork, and the music was playing.
00:58:13.700
He's disturbing everyone in the restaurant, filling out a job application.
00:58:17.220
And they're probably like, uh, we have to hire him.
00:58:20.580
You can't tell a black person to turn the music down.
00:58:22.560
We can't say no to a black person, and we definitely can't tell them to turn their music down.
00:58:30.900
I almost went up to him, and I said, so what made you think that was to not pause it when you walked into the restaurant?
00:58:38.620
I still think you're antisocial, but what happened when you walked in the store and you didn't press pause?
00:58:44.300
You thought everyone wanted to listen to the new Snarf Snarf album?
00:58:55.540
We have a couple of clips that we didn't get to, but we're going to get to them in bonus land.
00:59:13.700
He says, no, you can't leave with the whole cart.
00:59:16.860
Whatever's in your backpack, you can probably get away with, though.
00:59:19.160
And then someone just overhead tosses a two liter and it knocks him out.
00:59:34.740
Let's go to the guy who said smoking crack improved his life.
00:59:52.060
Five ways my life has improved by smoking crack, guys.
00:59:55.860
Number five, it has taught me that I am actually resilient.
00:59:59.740
So, you know, I smoked crack while I was in my second rehab center.
01:00:04.380
So, me and my friend from the center, it was a huge snowstorm one day.
01:00:10.680
We decided to get on our mountain bikes and ride downtown and walk across a soccer field with 18 inches of snow to go to this guy's garage to pick up a little baggie of crack.
01:00:20.520
The guy said to us when we were leaving, this stuff must be good if you're willing to do this for us.
01:00:24.860
And, guys, it taught me that when I am absolutely determined and focused on something, I can make it happen no matter what is in my way.
01:00:33.260
So, I take that stuff now and I actually focus it on good things that I want in my life.
01:00:38.620
And that is the fifth reason why I'm so happy that I smoked crack and it gave me an amazing experience.
01:00:50.340
We'll have to follow him and track his progress and see.
01:00:57.980
But we have to monitor him over a course of many years.
01:01:02.900
But it's good to hear the other side of the argument.
01:01:39.980
They set her up by making her hold, like, four large sprites.
01:01:51.980
There's going to be a phone call that I look forward to.
01:01:55.980
opposed to what? And both of y'all look forward to. It's fine.
01:02:25.980
Isn't that nice? That is nice. They were going to play the bagpipes at his funeral because
01:02:51.120
he loves his bagpipes, but instead they played it for him before he died so he could enjoy
01:02:55.220
him. There you go. That's very nice. All right. Last clip of Uplifting Gold, the bad national
01:03:25.220
That's good. Hey, that's Americana. Hey, those notes are hard to hit. It's a high school
01:03:31.260
band. Cut them slack. Yep. Well, that is the end of the episode. Let me grab something off
01:03:37.680
screen real quick because it is Friday. And on Fridays, we shout out America First small
01:03:44.520
businesses, especially ones that send us stuff to the P.O. Box. And this week we are shouting
01:03:49.820
