00:00:00.280 All right, welcome back to Flag of Socks, the podcast episode 237.
00:00:05.760 Today on the show, the Doge effort continues.
00:00:09.800 Wait till you hear what we discovered about NGOs and the role they're playing in the fraud.
00:00:15.280 Then we have a trans drill instructor interview.
00:00:18.620 You're not going to want to miss in Cringe of the Week, followed by a woman who's complaining
00:00:22.940 about inflation at the grocery store.
00:00:25.260 We're going to go over the bigger issues she's failing to mention.
00:00:28.660 And last but not least, in Urban Decay, we have an anti-racism checkpoint in Cincinnati,
00:00:35.700 which begs the age old question, would you stop?
00:00:39.800 All this and more at Swuckus Talks, the podcast episode 237, ranked the best news podcast of
00:00:46.120 all time.
00:00:51.020 Because words are just words until action actually starts.
00:00:54.200 And actions speak louder than words.
00:00:56.160 But at the same time, words speak louder than words because sometimes it's the right
00:01:00.500 thing to do.
00:01:02.180 Very cool.

00:02:33.460 All right.
00:02:34.200 Thank you to My Patriot Supply for sponsoring.
00:02:36.080 Thank you, My Patriot Supply.
00:02:37.460 It's always good to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
00:02:40.640 We all know that.
00:02:41.720 That's a good phrase for them.
00:02:43.400 That's a good phrase for them.
00:02:44.300 That's the phrase forever for them.
00:02:46.540 They can always use that one.
00:02:47.940 Well, welcome to the Friday episode, everybody.
00:02:49.820 Episode 237.
00:02:51.120 Thank you.
00:02:51.760 Feels good to be here.
00:02:52.520 The weekend's tomorrow.
00:02:53.480 Yeah, it does.
00:02:54.420 Made it.
00:02:54.800 Everyone's just chilling at work today, hopefully.
00:02:56.820 All right.
00:02:57.280 We have a lot to get to, as I'm sure you guys can imagine.
00:02:59.420 We're getting overloaded with information all week.
00:03:02.840 So, you know, housekeeping is going to be boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and then cringe
00:03:07.260 urban and uplifting.
00:03:08.260 Yeah.
00:03:08.600 That's how it goes.
00:03:09.240 That's it.
00:03:09.880 We're having dense housekeepings lately.
00:03:11.860 And then I get to your final page and I see some really dumb shit.
00:03:15.400 And, you know, I guess we need that these days.
00:03:17.320 Well, the rules are I'm allowed to say whatever on the final page.
00:03:20.100 You created those rules.
00:03:22.260 All right.
00:03:22.580 Well, the first story of the day, RFK is confirmed as the head of HHS.
00:03:28.000 Yeah.
00:03:28.200 And, I mean, we have not had any real struggles except for Mitch McConnell voting against everybody
00:03:34.480 Trump has nominated.
00:03:35.640 So, Mitch McConnell, basically brain dead, borderline.
00:03:38.360 Well, his brain might be good, but his body's dead.
00:03:40.960 Yeah.
00:03:41.220 We actually have a meme that I thought sums it up.
00:03:45.020 It says they're going to put Mitch McConnell's brain in John Fetterman's body like this.
00:03:49.080 Yeah.
00:03:49.260 So, God forbid that happens because that'll give him an extra 20 years, maybe?
00:03:53.580 Yeah.
00:03:54.160 Of voting against Republicans in the Senate.
00:03:57.000 They can vote together.
00:03:58.200 I know.
00:03:58.820 They're actually aligned.
00:04:00.480 As one body.
00:04:01.540 But what are your thoughts on RFK?
00:04:02.860 You like him?
00:04:03.460 Yeah.
00:04:03.800 I think it's going to be good.
00:04:04.700 I like him.
00:04:05.360 He's not for me.
00:04:06.440 He's more for, like, the moms or, like, they're poisoning our kids crowd, which is true.
00:04:11.500 That's just not really what I'm all that interested in.
00:04:14.220 I'm more of a Tom Homan Republican.
00:04:15.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:16.560 So, there's some differences, but he makes a certain segment of the population very happy.
00:04:20.580 I'm more of an RFK fan just because I'm deep into they're poisoning us at every turn.
00:04:26.280 I'm in that camp.
00:04:27.460 Yeah.
00:04:27.960 So, that's great news.
00:04:29.520 And Kash Patel is the last one.
00:04:31.740 He needs to get confirmed next week.
00:04:33.540 They're trying their best to stop that one.
00:04:36.380 I think once he gets in, it should be time to burn everything down.
00:04:40.020 Yeah.
00:04:40.560 So, let's hope that plays out.
00:04:42.440 I saw a post the other day on Twitter about Ukraine.
00:04:46.480 Obviously, we've given them hundreds of billions of dollars, and it sucked, and it was horrible for years.
00:04:50.660 But then I saw that Trump says Ukraine has agreed to repay us, giving the United States $500 billion in rare earth minerals.
00:05:00.120 Pretty good.
00:05:00.800 Love that.
00:05:01.480 Read that pretty well, too.
00:05:02.720 Good reading.
00:05:03.300 Well, you missed a word, but that's what we call a clawback.
00:05:06.840 And we saw Trump had a phone call with Putin this week.
00:05:09.980 So, the initial stages of the peace talks are going to be happening soon.
00:05:15.020 And there's a little mutual respect between those two world leaders instead of subversive, not-talking, dementia patient Joe Biden diplomacy.
00:05:22.860 Exactly.
00:05:23.520 And it's nice to see with Trump and Elon and Doge the clawbacks.
00:05:27.120 A lot of people, like me, assume that money was just gone, long gone.
00:05:31.860 And now we're getting clawbacks and stuff like that, and maybe even some people going to jail.
00:05:36.280 So-
00:05:36.740 The $59 million that FEMA gave to the hotels has been clawed back that we reported on last episode.
00:05:43.440 So-
00:05:43.880 I like clawed back.
00:05:44.640 I like clawbacks.
00:05:45.400 I didn't think the government could claw anything back, but apparently we can.
00:05:49.820 Yep.
00:05:50.100 Let's get to our next story.
00:05:51.220 I believe this vote was in Arizona.
00:05:53.100 Is that correct?
00:05:54.140 The no-tax-on-tips vote, every Republican voted for no-tax-on-tips, and then every Democrat voted no.
00:06:00.820 And this is just in Arizona, so I guess it's a microcosm slash proxy for what's going to happen in the future.
00:06:07.080 But Kamala Harris, she stole Trump's campaign idea on no-tax-on-tips, and then when it comes time to do it, Democrats are unanimous on no.
00:06:16.120 Yeah, because they realize that they need those tax dollars to prop up their entire party.
00:06:20.800 Yeah.
00:06:21.280 So they need it everywhere they could get it.
00:06:24.120 Yeah.
00:06:24.440 But it does make you wonder, obviously, no-tax-on-tips, I like that policy.
00:06:28.920 I'm always going to be for less taxes, but should that count for strippers?
00:06:32.620 Mm-hmm.
00:06:33.540 I would say no.
00:06:34.560 I don't know.
00:06:35.300 My thing is, I don't give a shit about sin tax, cigarette tax.
00:06:39.360 I don't care.
00:06:40.380 So I'm an anti-taxer all the way through.
00:06:43.620 I don't care.
00:06:44.540 Respectable.
00:06:45.000 But the no-tax-on-tips, it's just like that's a certain segment of the population.
00:06:48.680 If you're a tipped employee, you're not that rich unless you're at the most five-star, three-Michelin-star restaurant ever.
00:06:56.320 Mm-hmm.
00:06:56.680 So just by segmentation of that tax, you know it's not going to the CEO of Walmart or something.
00:07:02.980 Yeah, that's a good point.
00:07:03.900 It helps the right people.
00:07:04.880 Mm-hmm.
00:07:05.240 People who live off of tips.
00:07:06.780 Yeah.
00:07:07.260 Except for strippers.
00:07:08.180 Yeah.
00:07:08.600 Okay, next-
00:07:09.140 So you're anti-stripper.
00:07:10.220 You want strippers to be taxed?
00:07:11.880 Yeah.
00:07:12.240 They don't pay it anyway, brother.
00:07:13.700 I got news for you.
00:07:14.840 Yeah, that's true.
00:07:15.780 You're not reporting it.
00:07:16.320 All those singles, I doubt they're doing the April bookkeeping.
00:07:21.280 There's no accounting being done with the stripper.
00:07:23.060 Okay, let's move on.
00:07:25.100 I saw a funny meme about the Gulf of America, and I think it could be the future of what the Gulf of America will become once everything gets even more corporatized.
00:07:32.900 Yeah.
00:07:33.220 Google just updated their maps, and it says the Totino's Pizza Rolls presents Gulf of America powered by Home Depot.
00:07:41.260 All right.
00:07:41.960 That's pretty good.
00:07:42.780 You know what?
00:07:43.580 I was thinking about this more, and, you know, it's a little troll job.
00:07:47.180 I think there's 1,700 miles of coastline of America, and then there's also, like, basically equal parts, 1,700-ish miles coastline for Mexico.
00:07:56.480 We just bodied it.
00:07:57.560 We bullied it.
00:07:58.180 And it's kind of like a little, you know, jab.
00:08:02.760 Democrats have just been renaming shit.
00:08:05.060 So why don't we get to do it?
00:08:06.740 That's a good point.
00:08:07.520 Mount McKinley to Mount Denali, Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty, gay.
00:08:12.980 Yeah.
00:08:13.400 All the Confederate statues and Confederate squares, schools, whatever.
00:08:17.600 So, you know, Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day.
00:08:20.200 That's a good point.
00:08:21.060 You thought you could get away with that without us renaming it to Gulf of America?
00:08:24.100 So we should rename everything and then do no backseas.
00:08:26.680 Yeah.
00:08:27.040 And then the Gulf of America.
00:08:28.540 Brought to you by Pizza Hut.
00:08:29.420 Yeah.
00:08:30.260 Gulf of America, you know, America, Mexico.
00:08:33.320 Yeah.
00:08:33.700 It's ours.
00:08:34.300 I know.
00:08:34.740 It's easy.
00:08:35.160 It's easy.
00:08:35.640 Who runs those waters?
00:08:37.740 Is it the U.S. Coast Guard or is it the Mexican policia of something that I don't even know?
00:08:42.240 That's so true.
00:08:43.020 So it's easy, right?
00:08:43.860 Yep.
00:08:44.140 Let's get into the Doge section.
00:08:46.060 All right.
00:08:46.740 There's obviously a lot to cover there.
00:08:48.540 First thing that we heard yesterday, that Doge has entered the IRS building.
00:08:53.200 Yeah.
00:08:53.580 So that's next.
00:08:54.320 That's next.
00:08:55.020 And that's great, great, great news.
00:08:56.320 And remember, they hired 87,000 or planning to hire 87,000 agents to really track down
00:09:02.640 all those tax dollars.
00:09:03.960 And now instead, we're sending in Doge.
00:09:06.360 There's like two different timelines.
00:09:08.080 If we were in the Kamala Harris timeline, it would not be going down like this, obviously.
00:09:12.520 And then next, we found some waste and fraud within the Pentagon.
00:09:17.600 Can you read the Mario Noffal tweet?
00:09:19.340 Yeah.
00:09:19.620 Pentagon burns taxpayer cash $1,300 per coffee cup.
00:09:23.980 8,000% markup on soap dispensers.
00:09:27.620 Doge is exposing insane Pentagon waste, including the $1,300.
00:09:31.800 Does he just repeat this on the tweet?
00:09:33.400 That's his way of doing it, I guess.
00:09:35.680 With an $850 billion budget, the Pentagon is drowning in fraud and bloated contracts, and
00:09:40.480 Trump says billions in waste will be slashed.
00:09:43.060 That's what I like to see.
00:09:44.260 Yeah.
00:09:44.680 So $1,300 per coffee cup.
00:09:47.740 I think they had to replace 25 coffee cups of some kind.
00:09:50.620 And they spent like 50 grand.
00:09:51.860 So imagine what a plane costs.
00:09:53.380 If a coffee cup is $1,300, a plane is fucking $90 billion.
00:09:57.860 And it's all kickbacks, and it's all salaries for people who aren't doing anything.
00:10:02.020 Crazy.
00:10:02.420 We actually found a DEI training within the military, and it cost $2.3 million.
00:10:09.760 This guy is going to explain it, but just to kind of contextualize it, it's a program they
00:10:16.500 created to have tough conversations, and you're basically talking to an avatar.
00:10:20.100 It's an opportunity to have a difficult conversation when it comes to DEIA.
00:10:26.360 There is an avatar, and behind that avatar, there is a trained individual who is going
00:10:30.980 to have the conversation.
00:10:32.740 He or she will be able to either elevate the difficulty of the conversation or back down
00:10:38.080 and understand.
00:10:39.020 The time that we're living in is we have conversations that are difficult, specifically dealing with
00:10:44.480 people or differences of opinions.
00:10:46.860 It's important for us as individuals and leaders and service members to have these conversations
00:10:52.520 and allow us to practice having these conversations that are often very difficult to have.
00:10:57.960 This is for airmen.
00:10:59.060 So you spend $2.3 million so you can practice having tough conversations with that Jimmy Neutron
00:11:05.720 avatar guy.
00:11:06.840 I was going to call it Pee Wee Herman avatar guy, but Jimmy Neutron works.
00:11:10.640 And then DEI, already a waste of time.
00:11:13.240 Basically, if you're in the military, you shouldn't be talking about those kind of topics, right?
00:11:16.460 So it's a waste of time topic in a waste of time medium, the VR version of DEI.
00:11:22.820 For $2.3 million.
00:11:24.160 And then DEIA, they're sneaking in accessibility at the end there.
00:11:28.640 So people in wheelchairs can get in the building.
00:11:30.920 Yeah.
00:11:31.140 So the wheelchair guy can talk to Jimmy Neutron.
00:11:33.180 Can you shoot an M4?
00:11:34.600 Yeah.
00:11:35.000 What can you do?
00:11:36.160 Can you cover me?
00:11:37.280 I need covering fire right now.
00:11:39.400 We're worried about logistics for people with handicaps to get into the building.
00:11:44.560 So that's average day at the Pentagon.
00:11:45.960 You wake up, you get your $1,300 cup of coffee, and you go have a difficult conversation with
00:11:49.920 a black woman, except she's behind a Jimmy Neutron mask for some reason.
00:11:53.600 You can't just practice that one-on-one.
00:11:55.420 And then God knows what else you spend it on.
00:11:57.280 Talk about racism.
00:11:58.180 Yeah.
00:11:58.760 Well, we also found some waste at the Department of Education.
00:12:02.240 They terminated-
00:12:02.960 We found some waste.
00:12:03.980 Doge did it.
00:12:04.860 You know, it's like, well, Fleckus is in there.
00:12:06.600 You can't even read.
00:12:07.760 He's looking through shit.
00:12:08.940 I was spending all night under my lamp with my magnifying glass looking for waste.
00:12:14.400 The Department of Education terminated 29 DEI training grants totaling $101 million.
00:12:20.480 One sought to train teachers to help students understand slash interrogate the complex histories
00:12:25.660 involved in oppression and help students reorganize areas of privilege and power on an individual
00:12:30.540 and collective basis.
00:12:32.260 Whatever that means.
00:12:33.280 Nothing.
00:12:33.880 They don't have to do anything.
00:12:35.180 There's no-
00:12:35.800 You know, math?
00:12:36.900 You do the equation, and then there's a right answer at the end?
00:12:39.380 This is just like a circle jerk.
00:12:41.220 Yeah.
00:12:41.500 It's like, how'd you get there?
00:12:42.760 Oh, yeah.
00:12:43.240 I never thought of that.
00:12:44.200 The teacher says that.
00:12:45.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:46.360 The teacher's learning.
00:12:49.140 That's the nice part about Doge in general is like, they come in and go, cancel that contract
00:12:53.860 immediately.
00:12:54.560 We're not renewing it.
00:12:55.500 We don't do anything.
00:12:56.880 And I wish there was a clawback phase to some of that, but unfortunately, you can't on past.
00:13:02.120 We can swap clawbacks for jail.
00:13:05.100 Yeah.
00:13:05.760 I'd like that.
00:13:06.540 Can you read the other Department of Education waste they found?
00:13:09.140 Also today, the Department of Education terminated 89 contracts worth $881 million.
00:13:15.400 One contractor was paid $1.5 million to observe mailing and clerical operations at a mail center.
00:13:22.960 Sounds like a sick job.
00:13:24.480 That's a no-
00:13:24.920 The mafia calls those no-show jobs, and you ever see like Pauly and Silvio?
00:13:30.160 They hang out at the construction site, and they play poker.
00:13:32.860 Yeah.
00:13:33.040 That's basically what that was.
00:13:34.340 So we caught you, and that's the type of shit that we're canceling right now.
00:13:37.160 And you had it going good for a while.
00:13:38.760 You had it great.
00:13:39.800 And then that's the type of stuff that you see people protesting in Washington, D.C. for.
00:13:43.200 Yeah.
00:13:43.780 We want those mafia jobs back.
00:13:45.880 Yeah.
00:13:46.300 They also found, I think, trillions, it says, in Medicare and Medicaid waste or fraud.
00:13:52.900 Can you read that tweet?
00:13:53.760 Yeah.
00:13:54.220 Did I just hear the White House press briefing question correctly?
00:13:57.500 $2.7 trillion in improper Medicare and Medicaid payments to people overseas who weren't entitled to the benefit.
00:14:04.500 This cannot be real.
00:14:05.520 The entire national debt is $36 trillion, and you're telling me that you sent checks for $2.7 trillion to people overseas.
00:14:13.000 And before we get into this, that was over 10 years.
00:14:16.300 Still an insane amount of money.
00:14:17.640 Still an insane amount of money.
00:14:18.840 But that's something we wanted to talk about in general because Medicare and Medicaid fraud is one of those things that we've kind of covered on the show.
00:14:25.580 And it's been so bad because it's such a large thing that even a little fraud is such a huge dollar amount.
00:14:33.060 And then there's people who set up, like, full-blown fake businesses that just are primarily made to milk money out of the government.
00:14:41.700 Like, it's not even – there's no real aspects.
00:14:43.560 It's just full fraud.
00:14:44.620 And there's a next clip we're going to show that goes undercover and exposes that.
00:14:48.960 Yeah.
00:14:49.200 This is, like, a year-old clip that we just kind of put together and cut out some of the fat to kind of brush over the situation.
00:14:55.320 But people's entire full-time job is scamming the government and having a fake storefront, right?
00:15:00.400 From sham storefronts to empty offices billing the government for Medicare.
00:15:05.680 What is this business?
00:15:06.960 What are we talking, $100 billion?
00:15:08.820 That's probably a conservative number.
00:15:10.940 Why Medicare fraud?
00:15:12.920 This is easy.
00:15:14.360 It's unbelievable.
00:15:15.140 It's really easy.
00:15:15.940 We're in South Florida today at the headquarters of the agents charged with investigating Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
00:15:22.400 And today they're taking us on location to show us how those schemes work.
00:15:26.800 He's one of some 450 special agents nationwide from the Office of Inspector General who fight a health care fraud battle every day.
00:15:36.480 Annually, estimated Medicare and Medicaid fraud tops $100 billion.
00:15:41.980 Massive theft from the government's health care benefits, far more than anywhere else in the nation.
00:15:47.340 We're going to head over to a durable medical equipment company, which unfortunately has been one of the lines of business that is really keeping us busy here.
00:15:58.900 Durable medical equipment, DME.
00:16:02.140 Think braces and wheelchairs.
00:16:04.480 Fraudsters buy lists of patients and doctors so they can steal from the government.
00:16:09.400 And with those two key pieces of information, it can sit at a place that is open Wi-Fi and just start submitting claims to Medicare.
00:16:17.420 In South Florida alone, Perez Ibar says about 90% of the DME companies are fraudulent.
00:16:26.060 90%.
00:16:26.540 Yeah.
00:16:27.420 So it's all just a free money grab, milk us, no one's going to do anything about it.
00:16:32.460 Well, obviously they are, but they've done it for a while to the tune of trillions of dollars.
00:16:36.740 Yeah, and so there's a couple of key numbers in this video that I want to take a look at really quick.
00:16:42.100 $100 billion a year, conservative estimate, right?
00:16:45.120 This was all in Miami, by the way, which is a hotspot for it.
00:16:48.240 We've shown before empty storefronts.
00:16:50.920 It's all like black windows.
00:16:52.000 You've got to look in.
00:16:53.160 There's a phone number and it just keeps ringing.
00:16:55.600 And it's just like one guy.
00:16:56.740 It's just some Hispanic guy who's like hammering.
00:16:59.120 They go on to say this one guy who was the focus of the piece, he did $48 million in one year just off fraud.
00:17:08.320 And so it was such a large number, $100 billion, right?
00:17:12.200 And then they said there were 450 special agents across the country for the Office of the Inspector General, right?
00:17:19.260 And it's like we're losing $100 billion a year to pure fraud and you got 450 people.
00:17:25.320 So it's almost like planned obsolescence or something where it's like there's no way these beleaguered agents could possibly get through all the people who just go,
00:17:33.760 yep, another thousand, another thousand, right?
00:17:37.080 And so they get lists of doctors and patients.
00:17:40.500 They just start hammering billing.
00:17:41.780 Elon, the Doge people, it's like a bullet wound or something and they need to actually take the bullet out,
00:17:51.180 make it harder for that fraud to happen because right now we're just like chasing it, right?
00:17:55.680 Yeah.
00:17:56.200 And so Miami scammers, another thing is like these people, you know how the cash app scam goes around on TikTok?
00:18:04.280 Oh man, cash apps, give it extra 600 or there's a glitch in DoorDash or it's a chase money glitch.
00:18:11.020 And they all spread it around.
00:18:12.460 The same thing happens with scams like these.
00:18:14.460 It's like, bro, Omar, haven't seen you in a while, bro.
00:18:17.760 You got an Escalade and a million dollar house?
00:18:20.620 Put me on, cuz.
00:18:21.960 And then it's like, oh, here's how you just scam Medicaid.
00:18:24.800 Just fax it in and they send you the money.
00:18:27.480 You need an empty storefront.
00:18:29.520 And so I don't know.
00:18:31.640 The point is that this Doge stuff, like it's one thing to find individual fraud right now and go there.
00:18:38.740 That's it.
00:18:39.300 It's another thing to correct systems that make it maybe a little more difficult for someone to get their Medicare, you know, cost approved, but then eliminate fraud basically 80, 70%.
00:18:51.280 Yeah.
00:18:51.800 Maybe there'll be some self-deporting when it comes to these types of businesses when there's crackdowns happening.
00:18:57.060 Yeah.
00:18:57.440 And so, I mean, we need to make these type of businesses scared.
00:19:00.520 And then 100 bill a year, it's just so much money that, like, that you could have fought a war against Russia for a while with that.
00:19:08.440 And that's just going into the pockets of absolute scam rats.
00:19:11.440 And that happens in so many ways.
00:19:12.920 Obviously, the literal war with Russia was hundreds of billions, and you have this, then you have all the money going to the illegals.
00:19:18.840 And then you start wondering, like, oh, is this why the government can never balance its budget?
00:19:23.880 Of course.
00:19:24.900 Yeah.
00:19:25.040 It's like half of the spending is unnecessary or fraudulent.
00:19:28.420 Yeah.
00:19:29.280 But the good news is Doge cracking down on this is making the bad guys scared.
00:19:34.080 We found this post here that said over three times more people in D.C. are Googling criminal defense lawyer than anywhere else in the U.S.
00:19:42.040 Yeah.
00:19:42.620 And the graph is, you know, it's a straight line up after January 20th, basically.
00:19:47.600 And it started.
00:19:48.740 Trump wins, and they're going criminal defense lawyer.
00:19:51.420 So that's good to see people know that they're – that just proves that people know what they're up to and they're scared.
00:19:57.580 There was a hearing about Doge a few days ago, and there was a funny tweet posted that I wanted to read.
00:20:04.880 He said, not to be insensitive, but it's beyond ironic that the Democrats' witness defending the government's horrific record on finding waste and fraud is an actual blind man.
00:20:13.780 Yeah.
00:20:14.480 Yeah.
00:20:15.160 Bad.
00:20:16.280 And then that's the thing, too, going back to the Medicare and Medicaid thing.
00:20:19.720 Like, if Google, Meta, anyone, Amazon were like, oh, there's this, like, leak we have.
00:20:27.300 We're losing $100 billion a year.
00:20:29.520 They'd spend so much money to fortify that leak that they had that it would be done in maybe six months, right?
00:20:37.120 And then part of the problem with the U.S. government or private versus public sector, there's just no incentives to, like, really wrap this up.
00:20:44.760 You have to have – you have to, like, almost assassinate Donald Trump and have him win in a landslide mandate and then hire henchman Elon Musk to even consider, like, patching up those leaks in the boat, right?
00:20:56.300 Yeah.
00:20:56.660 So it's just one of those things where the incentives aren't there in public service and, you know, the public sector to actually do anything about these, like, massive waste.
00:21:06.280 And then they hire the blind guy.
00:21:07.960 You think Meta would hire the blind guy?
00:21:09.660 Yeah.
00:21:09.920 Do you see anything going on?
00:21:11.480 No.
00:21:12.000 No.
00:21:13.220 Not a thing.
00:21:13.740 Everything seems fine.
00:21:14.720 I just stamp whatever comes across the desk.
00:21:17.500 So obviously, what's it?
00:21:19.680 Planned obsolescence?
00:21:20.880 Is that the right word?
00:21:21.640 Not really, but it's –
00:21:23.020 A little bit.
00:21:23.620 Yeah, it's close.
00:21:24.780 Well, part of that is how they're operating in – what's the thing called?
00:21:29.220 Iron Mountain?
00:21:30.180 Yeah.
00:21:30.780 This is where they do a lot of the federal paperwork for people who are retiring in the records in general.
00:21:36.560 Yeah.
00:21:36.940 Can you read what it says?
00:21:38.380 Well, this is what Elon in his press conference in the Oval Office with Trump, he was talking about, like, the federal government can only handle 10,000 retirements a year or something because they're doing all the physical paperwork in this mountainside in Illinois.
00:21:53.820 And it's underground.
00:21:54.880 Yeah.
00:21:55.220 And then this woman said employees often use tricycles to retrieve records at the National Archives and Records Administration facility in Valmire, Illinois.
00:22:03.400 Located inside a cave, the facility holds up to 2.4 million cubic feet of records.
00:22:07.600 So it's all by paper, and they use a little bike to get around, and they think it's fun, and, like, that's how they're running things there.
00:22:15.560 And someone said this country runs on mole people cycling around under the earth on tricycles in your black billing.
00:22:21.060 Yeah, I don't know.
00:22:22.080 Pretty whimsical.
00:22:22.900 Some whimsical shit.
00:22:23.980 So maybe there's a world where the government's records and transactions all go through on a blockchain of some sort.
00:22:30.920 That would be a nice thing.
00:22:32.040 That would be transparent.
00:22:33.020 So I'm hoping for that.
00:22:34.960 Yeah.
00:22:35.340 I don't really know how that works.
00:22:36.560 I don't know how it works either.
00:22:37.960 Let's get to our next section in our Doge section.
00:22:42.480 NGOs, as we mentioned in the intro, NGOs are the next thing to be exposed.
00:22:48.440 Can you – I said this –
00:22:49.260 Well, they're the ones getting all the USAID money, like all those grants.
00:22:52.780 It's all tax-free money funneled to taxpayer dollars, tax-free, sent to NGOs, and then they're just sitting on cash and giving their allies great salaries.
00:23:04.240 And when we get into the details, your mind's going to be a little blown.
00:23:07.720 Yeah.
00:23:08.000 According to the State Department, approximately 1.5 million NGOs are operating in the United States.
00:23:14.460 1.5 million NGOs in the United States.
00:23:17.720 And can you read how much cash they have?
00:23:20.280 Yeah, I don't even know.
00:23:21.480 Nearly $14 trillion of assets are now sheltered in so-called nonprofit organizations.
00:23:27.520 That's a $10 trillion increase in the past 20 years.
00:23:31.320 Why do we continue to reward this behavior?
00:23:33.880 And the graph is like a straight line up.
00:23:36.180 It's a shitcoin graph.
00:23:37.320 Yeah.
00:23:37.860 And it's $10 trillion increase.
00:23:39.460 We've got to rug pull it.
00:23:40.580 We've got to rug pull it.
00:23:42.000 We've got to stop it.
00:23:42.760 But basically, they just take all the money, taxpayer dollars, it's tax-free, and then they give everyone salaries and kickbacks.
00:23:48.260 And then you start to look around at who has NGOs.
00:23:52.440 The Pritzker family has 64 NGOs.
00:23:56.060 Yeah.
00:23:56.400 And as you guys know, they were tied to Jeffrey Epstein, and their family is tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
00:24:02.260 Yeah.
00:24:02.560 There's a ton.
00:24:03.400 We have articles kind of cycling in the back here of all their connections.
00:24:06.900 So maybe is USAID doing human trafficking through the Pritzkers?
00:24:11.040 Maybe.
00:24:12.200 Crazier things have happened.
00:24:13.680 And you have some of the salary breakdown here?
00:24:15.500 Well, this actually is a semi-related thing.
00:24:19.180 J.B. Pritzker and the Pritzker family is just like kind of this weird scumbag organization.
00:24:24.160 And this is a note that I saw that said, J.B. pays half of his staff.
00:24:28.240 He's the governor of Illinois.
00:24:29.520 And he pays half of his staff's total salary out of his private LLC.
00:24:34.140 So you can never really tell if they're working for the state or for him.
00:24:38.060 So it's just another – he's a real henchman.
00:24:40.980 He likes to pay his goons, you know, keep them quiet.
00:24:43.580 He does.
00:24:44.480 And then keep in mind, George Soros has over 200 NGOs.
00:24:48.340 And a lot of that is taxpayer dollars.
00:24:51.020 And then he, with those taxpayer dollars, does what he wants, pushes the progressive agenda, which is anti-American.
00:24:57.240 And then remember, they were all saying, oh, Elon should solve world hunger with his debit card, with his personal cash.
00:25:05.240 Elon was a bad guy for not solving world hunger.
00:25:07.560 But all of our tax dollars into the trillions are going to these NGOs that do nothing for us and actually facilitate the illegals coming in.
00:25:16.500 They facilitate transing your kid.
00:25:18.780 They facilitate all these horrible things that are detrimental to having a family in America.
00:25:24.280 Yeah, and so NGOs and nonprofits, like a nonprofit, that's supposed to be charity.
00:25:30.000 You know, if you're a leftist, you can donate tax dollars, government grants.
00:25:34.860 I don't think we should be picking choosing which charities the money goes to as a government, right?
00:25:39.600 Taxpayers aren't really looking for that.
00:25:41.460 Anybody can be charitable on their own dime.
00:25:43.580 And it's not really the government, especially a leftist-leaning bureaucratic government's role, to decide where that goes, right?
00:25:51.140 Yeah, so hopefully that's the next thing to be exposed.
00:25:53.680 And there's clawbacks hopefully coming there.
00:25:55.940 And then there's one last piece of our NGOs, which I thought was just like an interesting stat.
00:26:01.520 It said that there are more tax-exempt pro-Jewish advocacy organizations in the U.S.
00:26:06.260 than there are Jewish people in the U.S. military.
00:26:09.060 So there's more Jewish NGOs than Jewish people in the military.
00:26:13.920 That can't be true.
00:26:14.880 I don't know.
00:26:15.920 Doesn't sound right to me.
00:26:18.200 So that's the next scam to be exposed is all these NGOs, all that money they're hoarding.
00:26:22.540 We want it back.
00:26:23.900 Let's get into our migrant section.
00:26:26.640 All right, our first story from our migrant section.
00:26:28.340 The Trump administration considering using defense funding to ramp up deportation as the president is unhappy with the current pace of operations.
00:26:36.200 Me too, Mr. President.
00:26:37.160 Me too.
00:26:37.600 That was our idea, I thought.
00:26:39.800 So he's a show watcher.
00:26:41.700 And there's a clip here of an illegal heading to California.
00:26:45.780 Listen to what he says.
00:26:49.800 Well, my friends, everything was beautiful while the dream lasted.
00:26:56.440 The dream of Atlanta.
00:26:58.020 We have to leave the beautiful state because the laws have already become too hard.
00:27:05.280 With my people here, we go with our few things to the beautiful state of California.
00:27:15.340 California.
00:27:16.320 California.
00:27:17.240 Moving west for opportunities.
00:27:19.420 That's Americana.
00:27:20.480 That's Americana for a five-foot-one Guatemalan guy.
00:27:23.380 And some grapes of wrath shit.
00:27:24.880 Yeah.
00:27:25.560 Heading west.
00:27:26.420 Make my fortune.
00:27:28.120 Pan my gold.
00:27:29.680 Heading west.
00:27:30.600 Maybe I'll find a wife.
00:27:31.820 It's the illegal American dream.
00:27:33.860 Yeah.
00:27:34.280 Oh, man.
00:27:34.720 There was a woman.
00:27:35.600 Isn't that so weird, though?
00:27:37.080 Like, this little Mexican guy is going to go to the highest cost of living state there is because they've got a little special carve out for them.
00:27:44.360 And all the other states are actually having to enforce the laws now.
00:27:47.180 Mm-hmm.
00:27:47.740 He'll get a lot, though.
00:27:48.720 Good for Atlanta.
00:27:49.880 Yeah.
00:27:50.120 Good for Atlanta and bad for California.
00:27:52.800 And then there was a clip of a woman yelling at a Hispanic person.
00:27:57.720 I'm calling Trump on you, you illegal motherfucker.
00:28:03.380 Nature's healing.
00:28:04.200 It's good to see the patriotism that comes from yelling and threatening illegal immigrants or those who you assume to be illegal immigrants.
00:28:11.460 That's Americana.
00:28:12.380 That is.
00:28:13.020 That is.
00:28:13.360 You're allowed to do that.
00:28:14.380 Welcome, blacks, to the formerly white enjoyment.
00:28:17.340 And, you know, that's who it affects.
00:28:20.500 Black people are who get stepped on.
00:28:22.180 Yeah.
00:28:22.680 Their neighborhoods, their, you know, parks.
00:28:24.460 Remember all the South Side Chicago things that had to shut down when the initial migrant surge was happening?
00:28:29.880 So be mad, sister.
00:28:31.760 It's good to have some American pride.
00:28:33.740 Yeah.
00:28:34.120 Next, there's a quick story we'll cover.
00:28:36.160 A Haitian boat full of 132 Haitian migrants was intercepted off the coast and sent back.
00:28:42.720 Feels good.
00:28:43.320 That feels really good.
00:28:44.280 This is just one of those simple things where, like, they gave them water, sent them back, right back to Haiti.
00:28:49.740 You have no business being in international waters 40 miles off the coast of the U.S.
00:28:53.720 And then it's just one of those appreciate it because in an alternate timeline, Kamala Harris would have said, welcome, and given them something.
00:29:01.320 Yeah.
00:29:01.520 And then Ron DeSantis would have had to fight her.
00:29:04.260 And there's also actually been a major increase in Coast Guard activity.
00:29:09.660 We're enforcing our maritime borders as well.
00:29:12.020 Like to see it.
00:29:12.740 And Florida has mobilized as well, majorly.
00:29:15.560 So we gave them probably like 100 bottles of water and maybe some sandwiches in a bag and said, head back, good luck.
00:29:22.300 It probably cost 200 bucks.
00:29:24.000 Yeah.
00:29:24.180 Instead of bringing everyone in and going, all right, you live in the hotel now.
00:29:29.520 Let us know how much you need.
00:29:30.940 Only 36 months in the hotel, though.
00:29:33.140 Come on.
00:29:33.700 You're going to have to get a job eventually, right?
00:29:35.380 Exactly.
00:29:35.580 Then we'll send you to somewhere in Ohio.
00:29:37.480 And then we have another story here.
00:29:39.720 Tom Holman was on Hannity talking about it.
00:29:41.920 But it seems like the FBI leaked a raid in California, an ICE raid.
00:29:49.400 Let that play, please.
00:29:50.680 Tom Holman.
00:29:51.440 Tom, where are these leaks coming from?
00:29:56.200 Well, look, we think it's coming from inside.
00:29:58.980 And we know the first leak of Aurora is under current investigation.
00:30:02.880 We think we identify that person under investigation right now.
00:30:06.780 The California leak, Secretary Noem, she's correct.
00:30:12.640 Some of the information we're receiving tends to lead toward the FBI.
00:30:17.740 But I talked to the Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
00:30:21.080 They've opened up a criminal investigation.
00:30:23.600 And they have promised that not only this person will lose their job and lose their pension, they're going to go to jail.
00:30:29.360 They're going to criminalize.
00:30:29.860 That's what I want to hear.
00:30:30.980 Yeah.
00:30:31.500 We've got to make a lesson out of some of these people.
00:30:33.120 They tipped off Trendaagua in Aurora, Colorado and said, hey, Trendaagua, watch out.
00:30:38.920 ICE is coming.
00:30:40.040 And then in California, the FBI leaked it.
00:30:42.880 So everyone should go to jail.
00:30:44.280 Yeah.
00:30:44.600 Clawbacks.
00:30:45.280 Yeah.
00:30:45.640 Clawback your job.
00:30:46.660 Clawback your freedom.
00:30:48.320 And then Pam Bondi is now suing the state of New York.
00:30:51.940 Listen to what she said here.
00:30:53.560 We're here today because we have filed charges against the state of New York.
00:30:58.060 We have filed charges against Kathy Hochul.
00:31:00.240 We have filed charges against Letitia James and Mark Schroeder, who is with DMV.
00:31:07.960 This is a new DOJ.
00:31:09.720 And we are taking steps to protect Americans, American citizens and angel moms, like the mom standing right behind me, who you're going to hear from in a moment.
00:31:19.740 That's what I like to hear, because obviously Letitia James and all those people in New York, they try to put Trump in jail for nothing.
00:31:26.500 Yeah.
00:31:26.820 Remember, it was like past the statute of limitations.
00:31:28.920 And then it was like a misdemeanor knocked up to a felony with no one who had damages or whatever.
00:31:34.840 They try to put him in jail for nothing.
00:31:36.960 And now we actually have them, you know, basically allowing for a sanctuary city to exist.
00:31:42.440 That is something.
00:31:44.260 Let's put them in jail for that.
00:31:45.920 Yeah, for sure.
00:31:46.660 I like jail.
00:31:47.700 Yeah.
00:31:47.960 And then it's it.
00:31:49.580 Like you said, they had the club in their hand and now it's in ours.
00:31:53.180 And I have no shame in being like, let's let's beat you guys down.
00:31:56.460 Especially when you actually are doing stuff.
00:31:59.000 And then that's what Pam Bondi said.
00:32:00.700 We're going to wrap up the migrant section with her next clip, basically saying everyone's on watch.
00:32:05.740 President Trump has directed this to stop.
00:32:08.160 And if you don't comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable.
00:32:13.160 We did it to an Illinois strike one strike two is New York.
00:32:17.420 And if you are a state not complying with federal law, you're next.
00:32:21.920 Get ready.
00:32:22.840 That's what I like.
00:32:23.740 Yeah, I believe her.
00:32:25.540 I do, too.
00:32:26.240 So let's not be let down, hopefully, and let's arrest all the bad guys.
00:32:30.280 Let's move on as well to our final page of housekeeping where I can say whatever I want before we get there.
00:32:34.780 Make sure you guys use this opportunity to juice the algo, tickle the post.
00:32:38.380 Leave a comment, comment again, and then start yapping.
00:32:40.960 Notifications, P.O. Box, old episodes.
00:32:43.080 You know the deal.
00:32:43.760 Yeah.
00:32:44.200 I phoned that one in, but it's okay.
00:32:46.420 You don't need to perform every week.
00:32:48.720 Who cares?
00:32:49.680 Yeah, you're so right.
00:32:52.160 People aren't listening.
00:32:53.200 Like, did he say tickle?
00:32:54.060 They write it down.
00:32:54.880 It's not that big of a deal.
00:32:56.300 So true.
00:32:57.020 Bang, bang.
00:32:57.500 No one listens anymore anyway.
00:32:59.040 Yeah.
00:32:59.700 Okay, remember the-
00:33:00.780 Fill in the blanks, you know?
00:33:01.280 Remember the woman-
00:33:02.060 It's like you reading.
00:33:02.700 You just go, you see a word, you go, yeah, tickle.
00:33:05.060 Ballpark it.
00:33:06.420 All right.
00:33:06.980 You remember last week or two weeks ago, we showed that woman, the black woman who went
00:33:11.180 to Pakistan and was demanding they give her free money?
00:33:13.580 Uh-huh.
00:33:14.240 Well, she is taking the next step in her career, and look what she's doing.
00:33:19.520 Hey, but I got-
00:33:20.420 Yeah, yeah.
00:33:21.240 Yeah, so I would like to say that I'm launching a Bitcoin under Onigisels LLC, but it will be
00:33:28.420 run under Nidel Ahmed.
00:33:30.220 Yeah, so anything else?
00:33:33.920 I would like to clear the air.
00:33:37.380 Anything that you hear that's not true, that's not true.
00:33:40.100 Okay?
00:33:40.600 Thank you.
00:33:41.320 She's launching a Bitcoin.
00:33:42.900 There you go.
00:33:43.880 That's the next logical step.
00:33:45.640 One viral video, talk to a girl, and then you launch a crypto.
00:33:50.780 Yeah.
00:33:50.920 But you call it a Bitcoin.
00:33:52.520 That's what I like.
00:33:53.500 And that actually, that one has legs.
00:33:55.400 That's some dummy shit.
00:33:56.620 That one really has legs.
00:33:58.020 Last I heard, she was in Dubai, and she was mouthing off or something, and I think Dubai
00:34:01.940 really puts you in jail.
00:34:03.560 Yeah.
00:34:04.060 So we'll see.
00:34:05.160 I don't think she's going to last long.
00:34:06.720 I don't have faith that Trump will intervene in that international incident.
00:34:10.280 Yeah.
00:34:10.780 Here's a clip of who you're saving.
00:34:12.000 It's like, eh, I think she made her own bet on that one.
00:34:15.120 I will pass.
00:34:15.840 All right.
00:34:16.080 The next two clips are just things I wanted to show you guys that I've never seen before.
00:34:21.520 The first one is this woman with the phone in her back pocket and jeans.
00:34:27.220 So she's standing there in the jeans.
00:34:29.220 Everything seems to be okay.
00:34:31.840 She's in the store in Brazil.
00:34:33.760 And then your phone blows up.
00:34:35.660 Now you're on fire.
00:34:39.700 Sketchy.
00:34:40.420 Any lessons there?
00:34:42.020 Yeah.
00:34:42.420 No Brazilian phones?
00:34:43.860 Yeah.
00:34:44.400 I think the phone is maybe the next thing to be exposed as toxic or toxic adjacent.
00:34:50.100 Because there is a thing when you plug it in, it kind of radiates and gives off a charge.
00:34:54.880 So you don't want to plug your phone in next to your head while you're sleeping or next
00:35:00.060 to your bed.
00:35:01.220 But that's not necessarily that lesson.
00:35:04.480 That's just phones sometimes will blow up in your butt.
00:35:07.220 Lithium ion battery blow up in your butt type shit.
00:35:09.500 Blow up in your butt type shit.
00:35:10.720 Okay.
00:35:10.920 And then next is a clip I had never seen before, but I wanted to share with you guys as well.
00:35:14.660 This is what a plane, a fighter jet crashing into the ocean looks like.
00:35:26.600 That's crazy.
00:35:27.760 Yeah.
00:35:28.260 Goes right in.
00:35:29.340 That's it.
00:35:29.840 I just wanted to show you guys that.
00:35:31.380 That was in San Diego.
00:35:32.560 Yeah.
00:35:33.600 Insane.
00:35:34.440 Our next.
00:35:35.460 I just wanted to show you.
00:35:36.620 It's like, what does it look like when a plane crashes in the ocean?
00:35:39.560 How many times do you get to see that?
00:35:41.140 Yeah.
00:35:41.560 You know?
00:35:41.840 So that's what it looks like.
00:35:42.880 Okay.
00:35:43.180 What does it look like if your phone blows up in your butt?
00:35:46.220 That's what it looks like.
00:35:47.120 That's what it looks like.
00:35:47.740 It's the final page of housekeeping.
00:35:48.920 Okay.
00:35:49.140 Next, Lauren Boebert spotted getting into cab with Kid Rock at 2.30 a.m.
00:35:53.940 They have a little bit of a thing going, potentially.
00:35:56.100 Okay.
00:35:56.880 Good for them.
00:35:57.620 That's just, I'm not reporting on like adultery.
00:36:00.420 I'm more reporting on, there's a new MAGA couple.
00:36:03.040 Okay.
00:36:03.880 So I'm happy for them there.
00:36:05.160 Good.
00:36:05.880 Looking forward to seeing where they go with it.
00:36:07.740 Yeah.
00:36:08.360 Could, well, I don't want to, no, I'm going to stay positive.
00:36:11.820 Stay positive.
00:36:12.540 I was going to say, it could be a drunk slapping brawl thing coming at 2 a.m.
00:36:16.340 That's true.
00:36:17.420 But I'm going to stay positive.
00:36:18.720 Best of luck to you two.
00:36:20.000 Lovely couple.
00:36:20.800 Lovely couple.
00:36:21.860 Happy for you both.
00:36:22.820 Next, you know how George Floyd was a hero?
00:36:26.400 Yeah.
00:36:27.120 Well, they just found a very damning photo.
00:36:30.240 It looks like he was in the background of a Hitler speech.
00:36:33.240 Oh.
00:36:33.800 That's bad.
00:36:34.560 That's really bad.
00:36:35.460 So he's not the guy you thought he was.
00:36:37.280 All right.
00:36:37.980 Next, we have a new henchman from Russia.
00:36:40.100 Yeah.
00:36:40.320 New henchman physiognomy.
00:36:42.480 Yeah.
00:36:43.060 Nikolai Valuov.
00:36:44.640 And he was banned from entering Azerbaijan over anti-Azerbaijan remarks.
00:36:51.400 Crazy face.
00:36:52.600 Yeah.
00:36:53.280 That's rare.
00:36:54.200 This is the type of guy where anything he wears, he's a henchman.
00:36:57.320 He can't.
00:36:57.720 He could wear like an accounting Steve Urkel outfit.
00:37:00.480 And we go, you're the henchman, right?
00:37:02.240 Yeah.
00:37:02.560 You're the bad guy from James Bond, right?
00:37:04.740 Yeah.
00:37:04.940 And that phone, he can just crush it with his hand probably.
00:37:08.580 All right.
00:37:09.260 Next, we have our last thing.
00:37:12.080 Our last thing.
00:37:12.820 We're playing in the background here.
00:37:14.940 UFOs attacking each other in Nevada.
00:37:18.540 So we're going to, we can fast forward a little bit, but you see them going back and
00:37:23.740 forth.
00:37:24.800 I mean, there's some, there's a crazy exchange.
00:37:26.820 I don't fully understand what's going on there with these orbs.
00:37:29.700 It's a fight for the galaxy.
00:37:30.900 But it seems to be some sort of intergalactic battle.
00:37:33.620 Okay.
00:37:34.260 Well, that's the end of housekeeping.
00:37:35.420 We're moving on to cringe of the week.
00:37:36.780 Before we get there, we have a very special announcement from our friend Farmer Bill.
00:37:40.460 Guys, you know about Farmer Bill by now.
00:37:43.280 Longtime supporter of the show, major show watcher, and a base beef merchant making the
00:37:48.760 best meat snacks in the entire world.
00:37:51.120 And if you haven't placed an order yet, he is offering an exclusive 15% off for this month
00:37:57.760 only.
00:37:58.680 Farmer Bill doesn't just sell beef, he sells biltong.
00:38:01.960 What's biltong, you ask?
00:38:03.580 It's beef jerky, but 10 times better.
00:38:05.600 It's juicier and has perfect marbled fat, unlike store-bought jerky, which is lean and
00:38:10.720 dry and loaded with sugar, soy, and nitrates.
00:38:14.080 Farmer Bill uses traditional methods, so his meat snacks are cured and air-dried the old-fashioned
00:38:19.240 way.
00:38:19.900 No nitrates, no sugar, no seed oils, no soy.
00:38:24.200 And he sources all of his beef from South Dakota, supporting American ranchers, which keeps
00:38:28.860 American farmlands out of the hands of Bill Gates and BlackRock.
00:38:32.060 I recommend the bestseller bundle, which includes original bison, spicy bison, original beef,
00:38:38.020 spicy beef, plus a half-pound original slab, and a jar of his grass-fed tallow bomb.
00:38:44.080 The bestseller bundles ship for free, and you can use code FLECAS15 at checkout for an
00:38:49.640 additional 15% off.
00:38:51.840 This deal will not last long.

00:38:56.600 Get your meat snacks today.
00:38:58.020 FarmerBillsProvisions.com is the website, code FLECAS15 at checkout, or you can click
00:39:05.500 the link in the description below.
00:39:07.980 Farmer Bill's Provisions, the perfect protein snack.
00:39:16.820 All right, our first clip of Cringe of the Week is this woman who is running a household,
00:39:23.840 and she's having some inflation issues from the grocery store.
00:39:26.680 The other countries that wonder and say that Americans are just fat and lazy and they don't
00:39:31.080 do anything to better themselves.
00:39:33.000 This is what $115 gets you.
00:39:37.240 Let me show you.
00:39:38.840 We were able to get some Ritz crackers, one thing of cereal, some ramen, more ramen, tuna,
00:39:45.380 bag of potatoes, a few avocados, some snacks, desserts, two bags of chips, ice creams, pizza
00:39:53.160 rolls, some sausage biscuits, one thing of Dr. Pepper.
00:39:59.000 All of this for $115.
00:40:07.020 Well, at least there's some avocados in there.
00:40:09.420 And potatoes are decent.
00:40:10.700 And if you look at like the protein, like, all right, this is the food for the family
00:40:14.780 for the week.
00:40:15.940 The only thing that has protein is like those packs of tuna and the sausage and eggs from
00:40:22.540 the Jimmy Dean's breakfast.
00:40:24.940 So she's talking about inflation.
00:40:26.960 90% of that stuff isn't even food.
00:40:29.760 Yeah.
00:40:29.900 It's consumer packaged goods owned by one company.
00:40:32.700 And she goes, for all you people in other countries who think America's are fat and
00:40:37.160 lazy, here's my Dr. Pepper Takis Funyuns ice cream donut pile.
00:40:42.760 Not so smart now, huh?
00:40:44.240 What now?
00:40:45.080 What do you have to say now, other countries?
00:40:47.620 And then someone commented what like $110 of actual food looks like.
00:40:52.680 Can you give that a read?
00:40:53.540 $110 got me 10 pounds of beef, 19 pounds of chicken, three pounds of pork loin, three
00:40:58.640 pounds of ham, two and a half pounds of grapes, eight cups of pineapple, eight cups of apple,
00:41:02.680 sauce, 14 bananas, three pounds of cheese, five packs of taco seasoning, salt and pepper.
00:41:09.020 So that's what like normal food would be like chicken, beef, eggs.
00:41:13.120 And listen, I feel for someone like this.
00:41:15.100 It's like, yeah, all that shit food, the price did go up, but you got to be buying things
00:41:20.740 that are like commodities, not consumer packaged goods owned by Kraft Heinz or owned by Nabisco,
00:41:28.140 right?
00:41:28.420 Yeah.
00:41:28.580 Who have a monopoly on the entire store and then just increase prices and maybe,
00:41:32.680 took a little bit out of the packaging.
00:41:34.500 You got to be buying flour, commodities, chicken, beef, cheese, things that are a bunch of people
00:41:40.900 are competing to make, right?
00:41:42.300 That's a good point.
00:41:43.080 And then keep in mind too, when you feed your family, especially your kids is full of the
00:41:46.920 food dyes and all that crap.
00:41:49.100 You're going to have like autoimmune issues and sick kids.
00:41:52.540 And then your doctor bills are going to go up and you're going to have like fat, unhealthy
00:41:56.000 kids.
00:41:56.540 Yeah.
00:41:56.980 That's just like, so you're setting yourself up for like a cycle of a ton of wasted money
00:42:02.100 and it all could be rooted out if you just shop somewhat normal.
00:42:05.540 Yeah.
00:42:06.060 Yeah.
00:42:06.320 I, I, I don't want to be too mean to someone like this because everyone is struggling to
00:42:10.360 an extent, but it's like, come on.
00:42:12.380 It's like, does anybody, can anyone help me?
00:42:14.300 It's like, yeah, don't buy that shit.
00:42:15.960 The Takis Donuts ice cream.
00:42:17.500 Yeah.
00:42:17.920 Swap that for chicken wings.
00:42:19.500 Chicken wings.
00:42:20.140 You like chicken wings.
00:42:21.040 Yeah.
00:42:21.220 Um, and then while we're on the topic of food, this isn't really cringe, but it is related
00:42:25.540 to food.
00:42:26.200 Listen to what this woman says about, uh, vegetables and what happens when they get shipped to grocery
00:42:32.240 stores.
00:42:32.820 If you look at spinach fresh from the soil, let's say that's a hundred percent vitamin
00:42:37.820 C composition versus about a week to 14 days later in the grocery store, the grocery store
00:42:44.160 spinach had 0% of the vitamin C that it had when it came from the garden.
00:42:49.480 Almost nothing could be more important than actually eating locally, like buying food from
00:42:53.840 the farmer's market.
00:42:54.960 I mean, the second that plant is pulled, it's actually dead every single day.
00:42:59.300 It's out of the soil.
00:43:00.300 It's nutrient composition is precipitously declining.
00:43:03.500 So that's pretty interesting.
00:43:04.800 So obviously that's a big difference in that, what that woman purchased.
00:43:08.040 Uh, but that kind of is the next level, like the next level, one level up would be instead
00:43:12.780 of buying Takis and ice cream and donuts, you buy beef, chicken, pork, and avocados or
00:43:19.200 whatever.
00:43:19.480 And then the level above that is like, you grow your own garden and then you eat really
00:43:24.440 close to where the food comes from and you get all the nutrients and the vitamins.
00:43:28.760 I was going to say, that's a few levels away from the Takis fucking ice cream, gallon of
00:43:32.620 ice cream pile.
00:43:33.720 Um, luckily for me, my spinach, um, I never eat it.
00:43:37.560 It just goes bad in the fridge.
00:43:39.040 So it never, I never actually have the bad vitamin deficiency.
00:43:42.140 And then we'll end another level above that is I don't even buy the spinach in the first
00:43:46.160 That's kind of like what happened in college with the books.
00:43:49.720 You know, you buy books and you waste them cause you never actually read them.
00:43:52.800 And then you get to the next level and you don't even buy the book.
00:43:56.040 And then you hope you don't really need it.
00:43:58.300 Yeah, exactly.
00:43:59.200 And then the teacher goes, well, where's your book?
00:44:00.780 And you go, I'm a stupid football player.
00:44:03.120 Yeah.
00:44:03.320 I feel like I'm so stupid compared to these kids.
00:44:05.660 And I don't know, these people who are getting smoked by the inflation and the bad grocery
00:44:09.080 bills, it's like, just get a Costco membership.
00:44:11.400 It pays for itself.
00:44:12.900 You're getting cheaper stuff.
00:44:14.580 You need to have a freezer.
00:44:16.440 You know, um, there are certain ways, like you have to put a little bit of legwork effort
00:44:21.620 in.
00:44:21.960 Otherwise you'll just get smoked and taken advantage of the entire time.
00:44:25.400 You know what I mean?
00:44:26.140 Exactly.
00:44:27.100 All right.
00:44:27.360 Let's move on to our trans part of cringe.
00:44:29.740 Yeah.
00:44:29.980 Uh, this guy here's.
00:44:31.000 Why not?
00:44:32.140 That's what comes next.
00:44:33.300 That's our favorite part of the show.
00:44:34.540 A little food, a little trans.
00:44:35.780 A little trans.
00:44:36.580 Uh, this guy is a trans drill instructor in the military.
00:44:40.300 And now here you are, the first transgender drill instructor in the history of the Marine
00:44:46.400 Corps.
00:44:47.060 What kept you going?
00:44:48.880 Uh, well, I joined the Marine Corps to serve my country.
00:44:52.400 I wanted to be on the front lines.
00:44:54.900 Um, I wanted to kill people.
00:44:59.980 It's like you're a bro.
00:45:01.640 Yeah.
00:45:02.000 Come on, man.
00:45:02.680 You're so close.
00:45:03.360 Just come back.
00:45:04.180 Come on, man.
00:45:05.520 You're a bro.
00:45:06.580 Take the shit off.
00:45:07.420 Cut the hair.
00:45:08.020 Let's go.
00:45:08.440 Welcome back.
00:45:08.900 You're so close.
00:45:09.940 If you just frame it like right here and then just be like, Oh, I ate a lollipop.
00:45:13.220 My lips are a little red.
00:45:14.800 You're not even trams anymore.
00:45:16.520 You didn't do surgery or anything.
00:45:17.600 Right, bro.
00:45:17.940 Come on.
00:45:18.460 Come on.
00:45:19.120 Welcome back.
00:45:19.520 Just come back.
00:45:20.780 Um, and then this guy was the first trans drill instructor and I think he's gone now.
00:45:25.640 Probably.
00:45:26.320 Probably.
00:45:26.940 Uh, honorable discharge, right?
00:45:29.040 Dishonorable?
00:45:29.540 I don't know how they did it, but yeah, he is probably gone now.
00:45:32.600 He could have just taken some ivermectin and come back to normal, but he did not want
00:45:36.640 to do it, but that's such a good bro answer.
00:45:39.240 I just want to kill people.
00:45:41.060 Is it a bro or is it a trans answer?
00:45:43.540 That's a good point.
00:45:44.780 There's a lot of trans violence and trans threats, which takes us to our next clip.
00:45:49.120 This is a little bit of a compilation.
00:45:50.840 This is in what?
00:45:51.740 Worcester, Mass.
00:45:52.780 Yeah.
00:45:53.000 I think that's how you pronounce it.
00:45:54.340 If it's the same city that I'm familiar with.
00:45:56.420 Or Worchester, but I think it's Worcester.
00:45:58.680 Worcester, Mass.
00:45:59.520 Worcester, Mass.
00:46:00.020 Um, there's a compilation from like a town hall they had and all the trans people are
00:46:04.460 freaking out.
00:46:05.600 I have the city to protect me because the federal government won't.
00:46:09.860 And if you think you're afraid of Trump, you should see how afraid of Trump I am.
00:46:15.240 Can you wrap up, please?
00:46:16.800 Yes, I can.
00:46:18.000 If you say that you're afraid of Trump and that's why you don't want the city to be a
00:46:23.780 safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe
00:46:30.340 space.
00:46:31.440 I'm shaking right now.
00:46:33.600 I don't want to be here.
00:46:37.060 I'm sorry.
00:46:37.980 Am I taking too long pleading for my life?
00:46:40.540 You remembered how many children I have and that two of them are trans.
00:46:44.240 I speak as both the B and the T in the LGBT.
00:46:51.540 I'm multiply disabled.
00:46:53.420 I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder that causes me immense physical
00:46:58.600 pain.
00:46:59.740 I, um, I'm on the autism spectrum and I have narcolepsy and I couldn't drive myself here.
00:47:05.720 So I had to hide from my driver that I was in drag, which is not an easy thing to do in
00:47:12.480 drag.
00:47:12.820 I do not want to be here.
00:47:14.500 It's my day off.
00:47:16.060 I do not want to be in your DMs.
00:47:18.660 I do not want to be in your email inboxes.
00:47:21.000 I do not want my creativity writing diss tracks like Kendrick.
00:47:25.260 I don't want to spend an hour applying glitter on my face.
00:47:32.740 Some of the trans threats in there.
00:47:35.180 Some hyperbole, I guess.
00:47:37.440 Um, how about the one guy goes, I'm B and the T and LGBT and people cheer.
00:47:41.620 I fuck anybody.
00:47:42.880 We know, we know brother.
00:47:44.540 And that's, that's all they have.
00:47:46.400 I want to check the water supply.
00:47:48.040 It could have been some sort of like little too much fluoride or whatever they were adding
00:47:52.860 to the water in that town.
00:47:54.140 Something in Wooster.
00:47:54.940 Um, and that's the thing too, when these people come up to city hall, it really is just hyperbole.
00:48:02.040 You're, you're going to kill me.
00:48:04.280 You're, uh, you know, you hate me, all this stuff.
00:48:08.180 I don't want to be here.
00:48:09.880 And we're talking about like, yeah, federal money isn't going to hormones anymore.
00:48:14.820 You know, there's very nuanced things.
00:48:17.440 Yeah.
00:48:17.640 Yeah.
00:48:17.940 Trump signed an executive order for people under 19 for sex change surgery.
00:48:21.460 You can't be an all state track player anymore.
00:48:23.620 Yeah.
00:48:23.840 You're, you're off the team.
00:48:24.980 You're not on the girl's team anymore.
00:48:26.380 You're a man.
00:48:27.000 It's like, you want me dead.
00:48:28.240 You want me dead.
00:48:28.860 So they, so they actually aren't good at convincing anyone because they're not even arguing the
00:48:35.220 point.
00:48:35.520 They're arguing way past the point, which is you guys want me dead.
00:48:39.020 And we're like, we're talking about federal taxpayer money on this one specific thing.
00:48:42.900 Right.
00:48:43.240 Yeah.
00:48:43.540 And you're like a 1% of 1% of an unhinged population.
00:48:47.340 Like this isn't even part of the town's biggest issues.
00:48:51.120 Yeah.
00:48:51.380 And then, you know, uh, the black people during the civil rights movement, MLK, he kind of
00:48:56.620 rose up.
00:48:57.240 He was a good orator, gave some powerful speeches.
00:48:59.660 I haven't seen a single trans person be like, here, I'll take the mantle.
00:49:03.360 Yeah.
00:49:03.560 Well, the one with the glitter, I didn't want to put the glitter on my face.
00:49:07.160 Like what are you talking about?
00:49:08.460 I had a dream that I did not have to put glitter on my face at this shitty city council
00:49:13.420 meeting.
00:49:14.320 Um, but yeah, so I think that's part of it is like the student body of the trans people.
00:49:19.500 Yeah.
00:49:19.880 There's not going to be a good orator who's really convincing coming out of that.
00:49:22.640 It's like an oxymoron.
00:49:23.660 Like I'm a really rational person who makes a lot of sense and I represent the trans.
00:49:27.840 It's like, and I'm trans.
00:49:28.960 Yeah.
00:49:29.380 Doesn't, doesn't really work that way.
00:49:31.120 So, but yeah, they love hyperbole.
00:49:32.920 They love a little threats and, uh, you know, they held the city council house hostage for a
00:49:38.240 few hours.
00:49:39.020 Right.
00:49:39.240 I like the guy that goes wrap up.
00:49:40.980 Yeah.
00:49:41.860 Wrap up.
00:49:42.620 Wrap it up.
00:49:43.200 Oh, are you trying to kill me?
00:49:44.320 Yeah.
00:49:44.920 Probably.
00:49:45.800 No, you just have a set amount of time like everyone else and we have to treat you like
00:49:50.420 everyone else, even though you were in drag and have glitter on your face.
00:49:55.440 Um, all right, next we have a song that was sung, uh, to protest Doge and listen to what
00:50:01.220 they said.
00:50:01.680 Oh, which side are you on?
00:50:05.820 Which side are you on?
00:50:08.360 Tell me.
00:50:09.220 Which side are you on?
00:50:12.380 Which side are you on?
00:50:15.200 We'll fight against Doge.
00:50:18.660 We'll fight Elon Musk.
00:50:22.000 No way, let's get within our walls.
00:50:25.280 We'll fight from dawn to dusk.
00:50:27.880 Oh, which side are you on?
00:50:32.060 Which side are you on?
00:50:34.760 Tell me.
00:50:35.780 It reminds me of, uh, slave hymns.
00:50:38.040 Yeah.
00:50:38.500 I, that's big these days.
00:50:40.080 And we, I think pretty much every episode since Trump has been elected, we've had kind
00:50:44.800 of a new song.
00:50:45.820 They're really getting back to singing.
00:50:48.520 Similar to slave hymns, which auditing fraudulent spending is like slavery.
00:50:54.020 Yeah, it is, you know, which is actually, as we always say on the show, fully upside down
00:50:59.240 and backwards because paying half of your income to taxes, meaning half the time you
00:51:04.720 spend at work is going to taxes.
00:51:06.860 And then that tax money being fundled to these progressive groups that are doing things outside
00:51:12.180 of your best interest, basically funding your enemies.
00:51:14.740 That actually is slavery.
00:51:16.560 Like half the time you work is so you can give money to the government so they can subvert
00:51:21.240 your interests, subvert your interests, flood your borders, trans your kids.
00:51:24.880 That's actually slavery.
00:51:26.460 Yeah, that's true.
00:51:27.500 So it's very ironic that they're using slavery or alluding to slavery when the normal Americans
00:51:34.060 are the ones who are enslaved.
00:51:35.520 If you want to use that analogy.
00:51:37.360 Yeah, for sure.
00:51:38.000 So, um, okay, our last clip of cringe of the week, someone drives their car kind of on
00:51:43.460 the train tracks and botches it.
00:51:46.620 Here they come.
00:51:47.940 The thing's going.
00:51:49.300 Arms are going down.
00:51:50.680 Uh-oh.
00:51:51.780 What do I do?
00:51:53.800 Okay, you could back up.
00:51:55.460 I got to back up, but then hit that thing, but you can move that thing.
00:51:59.740 You can break that thing if you had to.
00:52:01.700 Yeah.
00:52:02.040 You can keep going.
00:52:03.000 It would probably go over you and you won't even break it.
00:52:05.040 And you just sit there and you sit there and now you're leaving the car.
00:52:11.540 You're abandoning the car.
00:52:13.500 You've abandoned the car.
00:52:14.720 Here comes the train.
00:52:18.480 And destroyed.
00:52:21.120 Boom.
00:52:21.660 Your car is destroyed.
00:52:22.760 The train is hurt.
00:52:24.080 And I want to go back five seconds here before the moment of impact and look at in front of
00:52:30.660 the train.
00:52:31.500 There's no mechanical arm on the other side.
00:52:34.380 You could have just gone forward.
00:52:36.720 So some people just tense up and they don't have that dog in them.
00:52:40.080 And then they're destined to get their car struck by a train.
00:52:43.000 And then you can't even like think properly.
00:52:44.880 Like you went forward.
00:52:46.180 Now you're backing up.
00:52:47.360 And then in your mind, it's like, okay, do I back up and break the mechanical arm or do
00:52:52.920 I get hit by a train?
00:52:54.100 And if that was the thing, you go, okay, back up and break the mechanical arm.
00:52:57.120 But then before that, it's like, do I have to back up and hit the mechanical arm or can
00:53:01.020 I go forward and avoid the train?
00:53:02.460 So there's not even enough mental math going on.
00:53:05.280 It's just, ah, shit, trains coming, abandon everything.
00:53:09.580 And then if you don't think, you deserve to get hit by a train.
00:53:12.260 So illegal immigrants, elderly people on the road, and then people like this.
00:53:16.280 So head on a swivel.
00:53:17.940 Don't get too down or too depressed.
00:53:19.060 It's going to get a little worse.
00:53:19.960 We're now moving on to Urban Decay.
00:53:22.860 All right.
00:53:23.140 Our first clip of Urban Decay is an EBT scamming white woman.
00:53:28.840 And notice the skin color.
00:53:30.460 Yeah.
00:53:31.060 Which side are you on?
00:53:32.800 I got a DHS letter in the mail this morning, and I just now opened it.
00:53:38.700 And somebody reported me to the state of Michigan because I'm making money on TikTok and I drive
00:53:47.980 a 2024 BMW.
00:53:51.100 They have cut my food stamps from almost $4,000 a month down to $88 a month.
00:54:02.620 They are telling me if I want a review that I have to sell my car.
00:54:10.720 So you're telling me if you are on welfare, food stamps, cash assistance, Section 8, you
00:54:17.640 can't drive a nice car?
00:54:21.040 They are forcing me to sell my brand new BMW or I lose almost $4,000 in food stamps.
00:54:30.780 So you're telling me you can't be on food stamps, Section 8, an EBT and have a 2024 BMW?
00:54:38.240 Yeah.
00:54:38.640 That's exactly what we're saying and exactly why your food stamps are taken away.
00:54:43.000 We need to do this for millions of people.
00:54:46.840 $4,000 a month.
00:54:48.380 That's like a full-time job.
00:54:50.200 People don't get paid that.
00:54:51.940 Yeah.
00:54:52.420 Like that's crazy to me.
00:54:54.300 And you got caught.
00:54:55.700 Someone reported you.
00:54:56.900 You got your car.
00:54:58.140 You probably could have kept it quiet, but you're too stupid to not take advantage of
00:55:03.880 the government and supplement.
00:55:05.640 Like that's the thing.
00:55:06.820 They think they can have this government benefit that like brings them up here, Section 8 and
00:55:12.300 food stamps.
00:55:13.040 And then I'm going to make some money on TikTok and get a BMW.
00:55:15.980 A 2024 BMW, which I looked up.
00:55:18.560 It's like minimum is like $1,000 a month payment.
00:55:21.600 Yeah.
00:55:21.780 So this is the type of waste I want to see our doge go after too.
00:55:27.220 There's a lot of people like this.
00:55:29.200 They get their nails did.
00:55:30.900 This one's the white woman.
00:55:32.120 She just got a stupid BMW.
00:55:34.160 But, you know, this is exactly the type of thing.
00:55:37.760 We're getting ripped off at the micro and macro level.
00:55:41.140 You know what I mean?
00:55:41.820 Exactly.
00:55:42.560 And we need the same thing for Medicare and Medicaid.
00:55:46.060 We need the same thing for this, where we're kind of watching you.
00:55:49.220 And if you want to get food stamps, like you kind of need, we need to be able to look at
00:55:53.980 your bank account and just read it.
00:55:55.820 Not read right, but see what's happening.
00:55:58.360 See what's moving in and out.
00:55:59.480 All that type of stuff, because people like this, you ever think she would willingly give
00:56:06.640 up the $4,000 a month?
00:56:08.480 No, how could you?
00:56:09.640 That's what I'm saying.
00:56:10.760 And then, go ahead.
00:56:12.240 Well, I was going to say, white, black, doesn't fucking matter.
00:56:15.160 I don't want to get ripped off by anybody.
00:56:17.380 We know who does it more.
00:56:19.080 We know who really does it more.
00:56:20.580 And that's our next clip.
00:56:22.040 Exactly.
00:56:22.660 And then just before we play the next clip, obviously food stamps and stuff has been around
00:56:26.860 for a long time and EBT or whatever, but it was always like, it used to be shameful.
00:56:33.480 And now it's getting to the point where it's like, it's like making it, like goals.
00:56:38.500 Like, oh, like if I hit it big, I can get a bunch of food stamps, like this next kid says.
00:56:43.440 I ain't got no goals.
00:56:44.640 I was born to stay in the hood.
00:56:45.980 Are you going to stay in the hood for the rest of your life?
00:56:47.740 I might.
00:56:48.260 How are you going to make money?
00:56:49.340 The government going to take care of me.
00:56:50.740 All I got to do is have eight kids and I'm Gucci.
00:56:52.880 Do you know how much food stamps I can get with eight kids?
00:56:55.120 The hood is the land of opportunity.
00:56:56.560 I get a chopped cheese, Chinese food, and Don Gullio on the same block.
00:57:00.760 Yo.
00:57:02.660 Childhood aspirations.
00:57:04.520 Dream big, kid.
00:57:05.520 One day you can get $865 a month for your eight kids.
00:57:10.400 So, you know, it's learned and it's this, again, it's the parallels to the Medicaid,
00:57:15.480 Medicare fraud or the cash app scam.
00:57:17.800 This transference of information, everybody, whatever you're in, the hood, if you're in a
00:57:24.700 white-collar lawyer's office job, if you're in, if you're a baseball coach, if you're in
00:57:29.220 the MLB or something, everybody learns their environment and how it works, right?
00:57:33.420 And these people learn that, oh, you have kids, the government, you're basically set.
00:57:38.200 You get Section 8 housing, that'll cost $200 a month.
00:57:40.560 Generational parasite.
00:57:42.280 Yeah.
00:57:42.820 And that's kind of, that's why the number one thing the government can do is incentivize
00:57:47.520 people towards good behavior and disincentivize bad behavior.
00:57:51.600 And for far too long, we've incentivized this shitty hood behavior that produces criminals
00:57:57.500 and more leeches, right?
00:57:59.860 And scammers.
00:58:00.740 Yeah.
00:58:00.900 Which takes us to our next story.
00:58:02.760 This girl in Chicago got scammed and listen to how she got scammed.
00:58:07.340 Wanted to make a PSA for Chicago girlies.
00:58:09.500 I got scammed yesterday in Lincoln Park on Diversey Avenue and I want to tell you the story.
00:58:15.000 Disclaimer, I know I made a lot of wrong moves here.
00:58:17.680 I don't know what I was thinking.
00:58:19.180 I literally am never caught off guard like this, but here we go.
00:58:22.340 So I'm walking down the street.
00:58:23.520 I have my headphones in and these guys are super enthusiastically approaching me.
00:58:27.620 They have clipboards.
00:58:28.660 I assume they're canvassing, um, you know, but I'm not a permanent Illinois resident.
00:58:33.740 So I'm thinking whatever they want me to sign, I'm not going to be able to vote for it.
00:58:37.380 I don't vote here, whatever.
00:58:38.660 I'll hear them out.
00:58:39.600 Take my headphone out.
00:58:40.820 They show me a picture of this little boy.
00:58:42.740 It's their little brother, Marvin, and they're with the Boys and Girls Club of Chicago.
00:58:46.700 He got shot in the head two times last week and they are raising money, you know, for whatever
00:58:51.180 fund that is associated with Marvin.
00:58:53.640 Okay.
00:58:54.540 They pull out the sheet that people have been, you know, pledging donations to.
00:58:58.000 And they say, would you be willing to donate?
00:58:59.940 And I think, oh my God, this poor little boy, they're showing me pictures, you know, whatever.
00:59:04.800 I don't have cash.
00:59:05.820 So I say, I can do a Venmo.
00:59:07.160 And he says, we have tap to pay.
00:59:08.680 I don't think anything of it.
00:59:09.880 Like it's a digital world.
00:59:11.280 You know, my nail lady uses tap to pay when I tip her.
00:59:14.100 So I just didn't flag it in my head.
00:59:16.080 And I say, okay, charge me $10.
00:59:18.280 And he takes out his little terminal on his phone, you know, shows me the $10, takes my
00:59:23.300 card, changes the charge amount to three grand.
00:59:25.700 And I go, wait, I think I just saw you change that number to $3,000.
00:59:28.580 He goes, no, ma'am.
00:59:29.340 I would never do that.
00:59:30.300 Like, we're so grateful for this generous donation to our brother.
00:59:34.460 I'm, you know, dating the sheet that they are having people write their donations down
00:59:39.060 on.
00:59:39.880 And then I was right.
00:59:41.560 He did charge $3,000, but I didn't feel like I was in a position where I could intervene.
00:59:45.960 I'm a hundred pound girl.
00:59:48.140 Anyways, they say, thanks for your donation, ma'am.
00:59:50.560 They run off and they get into a car.
00:59:51.980 So they, here's the picture.
00:59:55.580 This is who you handed your phone off to.
00:59:57.860 Yeah.
00:59:58.400 No, her card to their phone.
01:00:00.340 The three non-uniformed guys in Lincoln Park looking around for you.
01:00:06.740 They were looking around for exactly you.
01:00:08.940 And it used to be like a bunch of, and this still happens, but it's a bunch of kids selling
01:00:12.720 candy to buy basketball jerseys for their fake basketball team.
01:00:16.780 Can you help my fake basketball team, ma'am?
01:00:18.620 And then they do it in Central Park.
01:00:21.080 And then you give $5, but at least you get some Reese's Cups.
01:00:24.220 Exactly.
01:00:24.960 This is just, who knows if they actually have connection or if anyone's even dead.
01:00:30.020 This is just like strong arming you without pushing you down and stealing by force.
01:00:35.700 Yeah.
01:00:35.900 It's just three grown ass black sketchy guys.
01:00:39.080 And then here's another one.
01:00:40.320 This was a CWB Chicago write-up of it.
01:00:43.140 Here's another mugshot.
01:00:44.380 This motherfucker, James Lyons.
01:00:46.280 He does it in Wrigleyville.
01:00:47.860 So these people are looking to strong arm you.
01:00:49.620 So if you're ever handing anything to a random black guy on the street, it's like, where's
01:00:55.240 your dad?
01:00:56.300 Yeah.
01:00:56.560 What's lesson number one?
01:00:58.080 And then there's a-
01:00:58.780 Tap to pay.
01:00:59.220 I always do it.
01:00:59.900 Tap to pay.
01:01:00.700 It's like, no, you don't.
01:01:01.820 Not to random black guy on the street with a fake sob story.
01:01:04.080 Just walk right by him.
01:01:05.260 Yeah.
01:01:05.460 But there's a thing where like all these people who are liberal are so programmed to be anti-racist
01:01:11.020 that they need to go against their gut feeling.
01:01:13.600 So they'll look at a situation like this and they'll get approached by a person like this
01:01:16.700 and your gut's probably going, eh, this doesn't seem right.
01:01:20.060 Maybe get away.
01:01:20.800 This guy's a little intimidating and it seems like they're trying to scam you.
01:01:24.180 You don't believe him.
01:01:25.200 But then you go, oh, I'm not racist.
01:01:27.200 Yeah, I'll hear you out.
01:01:28.420 Oh, little Marvin got shot twice and you need money?
01:01:32.080 That rings true.
01:01:33.140 I'm not racist.
01:01:34.140 I want to help.
01:01:34.700 I'm a white person.
01:01:35.500 It's my duty to help.
01:01:36.540 This is an opportunity to correct past wrongs.
01:01:40.520 Sure, I'll give you some money.
01:01:41.820 And then they steal $3,000.
01:01:43.460 Yeah.
01:01:43.640 My anti-bias training at work is kicking in right now.
01:01:46.200 And I shouldn't be judging you, even though you approached me on the street.
01:01:48.960 But you should judge and you should trust that gut feeling and you should judge a book by
01:01:55.000 its cover, like we've said in the show before, you get a vibe.
01:01:58.520 And if it seems a little sketchy, you don't owe anyone anything.
01:02:01.100 You just walk on by, leave your headphones in.
01:02:03.400 Yeah.
01:02:03.760 But I don't want to be racist.
01:02:04.980 So I'll just listen and assume the best.
01:02:06.980 And I, you stole $3,000, but I don't want to be racist again.
01:02:10.040 So they probably really needed it.
01:02:11.440 You know, you can do this all day, but that's what happens.
01:02:15.280 Yeah.
01:02:15.480 And everyone on the show, everyone who watches the show knows what to do when you're approached
01:02:19.300 by people like this, situations like this.
01:02:22.460 Let's move on to our next story, our last story of Urban Decay.
01:02:25.700 There's checkpoints in Cincinnati, which is very interesting because there was a Nazi rally
01:02:32.300 in this town.
01:02:33.500 And then in response, they had an anti-racism checkpoint.
01:02:37.980 Checkpoint.
01:02:38.600 They is not playing.
01:02:40.280 Straps and they are ready.
01:02:42.160 Checkpoint.
01:02:42.560 And you will be stopped and roll your fucking window down.
01:02:45.860 We got one coming up.
01:02:46.900 All right.
01:02:47.320 Bye-bye.
01:02:47.840 See y'all.
01:02:49.000 So are they doing this to prevent gun violence in their neighborhood?
01:02:52.620 Because I looked online.
01:02:53.580 This neighborhood is an F when it comes to violent crime and an F when it comes to property
01:02:58.120 crime.
01:02:59.300 It wasn't about past injustices and all the crime going on.
01:03:02.780 It was about a Nazi rally.
01:03:05.020 Yeah.
01:03:05.300 Which is very interesting.
01:03:06.640 Nazi rally who resulted in no violence, no deaths, I'm assuming.
01:03:10.180 Yeah.
01:03:10.340 Otherwise, we would have heard all about it.
01:03:11.840 Just, yeah.
01:03:12.800 And then also keep in mind, like they're kind of like exercising their second amendment,
01:03:16.880 right?
01:03:17.860 Nazi rally is allowed too.
01:03:20.480 Yeah.
01:03:20.780 That's the first amendment.
01:03:21.540 You're allowed to have a Nazi rally.
01:03:23.180 First and then second.
01:03:24.460 So you stop in for this hood?
01:03:27.400 No.
01:03:28.040 I wouldn't even be in the neighborhood.
01:03:29.660 I don't go to F rated neighborhoods.
01:03:31.880 So it's actually a self.
01:03:33.380 They probably just stop black people all day.
01:03:35.740 Yeah.
01:03:36.260 And they're like, all right, not a Nazi.
01:03:38.340 You good.
01:03:38.980 Welcome to the piece of shit hood.
01:03:40.440 Or maybe some shit could have popped off if someone said something disrespecting the other
01:03:45.680 person.
01:03:46.160 Someone stepped on someone's Jordans?
01:03:47.520 Yeah.
01:03:47.940 The checkpoint could have gotten heated, my boy.
01:03:49.920 But that's the checkpoint.
01:03:51.240 Yeah.
01:03:51.640 So just shoot the music video and go home, guys.
01:03:54.280 Yeah.
01:03:54.400 Well, that's the end of Urban Decay.
01:03:57.480 Don't get too down or too depressed.
01:03:59.100 We are now moving on to Uplifting Gold.
01:04:02.360 All right.
01:04:03.040 Our first story from Uplifting Gold, some good news and more proof that Trump is a show watcher.
01:04:07.980 Trump brings back incandescent light bulbs, water pressure after Biden's ban.
01:04:12.660 So the water pressure is the shower pressure adjustments that Joe Biden made where everyone's
01:04:16.540 shower sucks.
01:04:17.360 Yeah.
01:04:17.600 The shower heads, I think.
01:04:18.920 The water pressure.
01:04:19.680 But incandescent bulbs, that's great.
01:04:22.300 That's huge.
01:04:23.100 And that's helpful.
01:04:24.180 And we mentioned that last week about how bad LED lights are.
01:04:27.500 I made the switch to some incandescent light bulbs.
01:04:29.760 And I don't know how much I notice it, but I like it.
01:04:32.820 It's way better.
01:04:33.520 Yeah.
01:04:33.940 It's nice.
01:04:34.740 And then next, Trump sends moon rock back to NASA that had been displayed in the White
01:04:39.760 House since 2021.
01:04:41.560 What do you think it means?
01:04:42.480 There's no rock.
01:04:43.420 There's no moon rock.
01:04:45.380 All right.
01:04:46.080 That's why.
01:04:46.880 All right.
01:04:47.300 Stay still.
01:04:47.800 They just like, it's like a humiliation ritual.
01:04:50.440 They just put a rock in a glass case and go, oh, this is special.
01:04:53.440 And everyone goes, oh.
01:04:54.400 And then it's like, they're, they're worshiping a rock from the ground outside.
01:04:58.380 All right.
01:04:58.720 There's no moon rock.
01:04:59.760 All right.
01:05:00.140 Okay.
01:05:00.560 Our next clip.
01:05:01.300 I don't know what it is, but let it play.
01:05:04.380 Okay.
01:05:04.980 So this is a cowboy.
01:05:08.600 Pony Express.
01:05:09.640 This is very cool.
01:05:11.600 This cowboy is doing a ride.
01:05:14.060 Oh, geez.
01:05:17.800 It did not go well.
01:05:19.760 That's what that looks like.
01:05:21.180 Yeah.
01:05:22.680 I didn't phone it in on this uplifting gold, but there's different types of uplifting.
01:05:27.240 Yeah.
01:05:27.700 You know?
01:05:28.580 Uplifting in that the video is funny and unexpected.
01:05:31.000 There's not, you don't, not, not everything has to be a little kid getting a baseball bat
01:05:34.560 from his dad and then hitting a home run.
01:05:36.220 It's so true.
01:05:36.900 Can't be too predictable.
01:05:37.880 Sometimes it's got to be a surprise.
01:05:39.140 Yeah.
01:05:39.520 Next uplifting is actually an idea that would solve most of my problems.
01:05:44.460 The whole idea is when a customer comes in and gets a pizza from your shop, they're going
01:05:49.600 to have slices left over invariably, and they'll have to put them in plastic bags or in saran
01:05:53.640 wrap or foil because the box is too big and doesn't fit in the fridge.
01:05:57.020 It doesn't fit in the garbage.
01:05:58.240 So a very convenient meal becomes really inconvenient once you have to clean up.
01:06:02.460 But with the box, you can actually store half a pizza still in the box.
01:06:06.540 And all you have to do is run your finger down here, break the box off, pull that, put
01:06:12.560 that in the trash and fold it to half its original size.
01:06:17.080 And now it fits in your fridge.
01:06:19.520 That's uplifting.
01:06:20.700 That's a true uplifting gold.
01:06:22.400 Yeah.
01:06:22.800 Because a lot of times the pizza box, it's so hard to get rid of.
01:06:26.220 It doesn't fit in the trash cans.
01:06:28.180 And if it does, half your trash can's eaten up.
01:06:31.160 But I guess you have to have leftover slices.
01:06:34.280 Yeah.
01:06:34.880 That's something you're unfamiliar with, right?
01:06:36.580 I was going to say, you don't know about a leftover.
01:06:37.960 You don't know anything about that.
01:06:41.220 Okay.
01:06:41.760 We have two clips left.
01:06:43.120 Next is just a...
01:06:44.120 That's uplifting.
01:06:44.920 That's a cool...
01:06:45.460 Yeah, sure.
01:06:46.280 That's the future of pizza.
01:06:47.700 Hey, I'm just trying to get through it.
01:06:49.060 That's the future of pizza.
01:06:50.560 It's Friday.
01:06:51.520 Everyone, we don't have work tomorrow.
01:06:52.960 All right.
01:06:53.420 Next is uplifting the people on a boat.
01:06:55.720 And look how nice it looks.
01:06:57.300 So they're cruising down.
01:06:59.460 And look at that.
01:07:01.140 It's like it stands still.
01:07:02.440 It's like a picture.
01:07:04.240 Yeah.
01:07:05.320 Yeah.
01:07:05.540 And then people go, oh, I'm an atheist.
01:07:08.820 You think that just happened?
01:07:11.040 You think that just happened?
01:07:12.700 Yeah.
01:07:13.120 What do you think, Neil deGrasse Tyson?
01:07:15.120 Not so fucking smart now, huh, Neil deGrasse?
01:07:17.680 How's every other planet?
01:07:18.940 Oh, it sucks.
01:07:19.800 Oh, it's barren.
01:07:20.420 You can't live there.
01:07:21.120 You'd explode.
01:07:21.620 And we live on a paradise planet.
01:07:23.560 Okay.
01:07:24.460 Between like zero and 100 degrees.
01:07:27.580 Perfect.
01:07:27.820 But there's no moon.
01:07:29.640 According to your earlier moon rocks.
01:07:31.260 I don't know what the moon is.
01:07:32.860 Okay.
01:07:33.300 I think we'll find out soon.
01:07:34.380 Next, we're going to end the show with a uplifting story.
01:07:37.820 Very Americana.
01:07:38.920 You're about to hear one of the best stories in American history.
01:07:42.480 I've been working here since 2007.
01:07:45.260 I've only used two pencils that entire time.
01:07:48.900 And here they both are.
01:07:49.980 I used this one, retired it maybe a couple of years ago is all.
01:07:55.400 I actually lost this pencil briefly and I found it behind my copier.
01:07:59.340 And that's why I started this one.
01:08:01.100 So that's why this one's already so little.
01:08:02.960 And it's famous because people come here every year on the same shows and they notice I'm
01:08:09.220 still using the same pencil.
01:08:11.140 That's Americana.
01:08:12.340 Good for him.
01:08:13.200 The illegals, they try to steal that from us.
01:08:15.560 Yeah.
01:08:15.940 They try to take his job.
01:08:17.820 I'll do your job for the dollar an hour.
01:08:20.840 I use two pencils.
01:08:21.960 I use three.
01:08:22.660 I don't care.
01:08:23.640 I'm from Guatemala.
01:08:24.460 I take the pencils home and I sell them at my abuela's convenience store.
01:08:29.360 I take the staplers and all this office supplies and they don't really notice.
01:08:34.520 And I take like 30% out of the office and we use it in a convenience store and we send
01:08:39.640 the money to Mexico.
01:08:40.540 But then we have an actual nice story.
01:08:43.100 All right.
01:08:43.460 What lessons do we learn in this episode?
01:08:46.400 Tell me what you learned.
01:08:47.580 NGOs are bad.
01:08:49.260 We have to stop not only the fraud right now, but how the fraud is committed long term.
01:08:55.260 Yeah.
01:08:55.600 We need to make processes harder to give away your money.
01:08:58.500 So, you know, when it comes to giving away your money, shouldn't it be like some huge
01:09:04.240 tribunal figuring out if this is worth it or not?
01:09:07.080 Not just dumping it to your DC buddies, which is what it currently is.
01:09:10.580 Like every dollar should be accounted for as if we're a private for-profit enterprise,
01:09:14.780 not just a fucking piggy bank.
01:09:16.820 So true.
01:09:17.800 So, I don't know.
01:09:19.480 And that's the end of the episode.
01:09:21.300 I fuck us talks in the books.

01:09:33.800 We had to shoot this one right to the buzzer.
