1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
 It's seven o'clock.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
 Do you know where your freedom is?

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
 Wait a minute!

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,000
 [Music]

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:43,000
 [Music]

6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
 Oh, there it is. I heard it. Yep.

7
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
 The lady said, the lady said, the lady said it.

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
 You're recording.

9
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000
 Hello and welcome to the first episode I recorded this month.

10
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
 With me is my guest host, Cort.

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
 A little mimicking of me there. I kind of liked it.

12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
 You know, we should use that intro.

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
 Maybe, yeah, maybe I'll go back and splice that in.

14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
 Or we've already started. You know how this shit works.

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
 If you remember, it's been almost two years.

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
 Yeah, Jesus, man. My life is just, time is flying by.

17
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
 My wife got injured and that took up a lot of time when she was recuperating with her knee.

18
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
 And at some point in time in there, I switched jobs and I got a lot fucking happier.

19
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
 And then things leveled out and I realized that everything is still fucked up.

20
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
 So I'm still angry, but I'm doing what I can to try and make that better.

21
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
 First, I'm taking care of me and my own and then once I get myself out of some debt,

22
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
 I'm going to be looking at trying to use my new properly gotten gains, I guess,

23
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
 because my job now has a purpose.

24
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
 I directly deal with software that has to do with public safety now.

25
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
 That's awesome. Yeah.

26
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
 And I doubled my income. I doubled my take home from this job to like,

27
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
 I'm finally making what a software developer should be making at my,

28
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
 at my current stage where I'm at in my development career.

29
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
 So yeah, it's not that I'm being paid that ridiculously much now where I'm at.

30
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
 It's just that I was being paid ridiculously low where I was at.

31
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
 And that balance has now been redressed. I guess you could say, there you go.

32
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
 And you're thinking globally and acting locally, like the personal issue,

33
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
 the personal is political. Yeah. Trying to trying to, you know, um, I,

34
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
 I still am a meat eater, but, uh,

35
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
 I make sure that at least the beef I get here is farm to table and purchased

36
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000
 locally and I go directly to a farmer and make a deal purchase the amount of meat

37
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
 I need, which just so happens to be by a fraction of a cow.

38
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
 So the lowest you can do. Hey, that works.

39
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
 Yeah.

40
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
 I haven't figured out how to do that with chickens in it lately,

41
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
 but I don't eat a lot of chicken, but I eat a lot of beef. So, you know, that,

42
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
 that does how it is. Uh, I,

43
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
 I haven't made any like donations and things like that just yet, but, um,

44
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
 I have been trying to like for local theater,

45
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
 I've been participating because I have some, you know,

46
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
 when I have a little bit extra money now instead of just blowing it on

47
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
 something for myself, I want to kind of do something else.

48
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
 So if I can make two things happen at the same time,

49
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
 like going to community theater and supporting community theater, little things.

50
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
 Um, I haven't been getting too involved in political,

51
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
 uh, stuff locally because everything's a fucking mess.

52
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
 And right now it's kind of stalemated and dead locally, which is good.

53
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
 Um, the only super ultra conservative state to not immediately pass an all

54
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
 abortion ban, thanks to one fucking Senator. And I don't know his name.

55
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000
 Maybe you do.

56
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
 I thought it was a woman who was filled with filibustering.

57
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
 Yes.

58
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
 I'm not just talking about the filibustering that she had done. No,

59
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
 it actually came to a vote and it came down to one guy that was sort of like,

60
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
 uh, in question as to what this one particular gentleman that is a Senator

61
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
 state locally was going to decide.

62
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
 And because they voted no on allowing an abortion ban,

63
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
 it did not go into place. It was that narrow of a margin.

64
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
 And that's on top of that state Senator that was doing all the filibustering.

65
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
 It just genuinely being a fucking bad ass, keeping this stuff from going

66
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
 through. Yeah. You, you folk had, uh, uh,

67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
 like a six week ban, right? That's what it was.

68
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
 I think that's what it was going to be, but it didn't get past. Yeah.

69
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
 It's not the most offensive of all of the abortion bans either. I mean, it's,

70
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
 it's, it's still terrible. Don't get me wrong.

71
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
 And it's still telling someone what they can and can't do with their own

72
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
 bodies, but it's not as egregious as like force everyone no matter what is

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
 what, I don't think they were trying to do. And even that didn't pass,

74
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
 which gives me hope that maybe like Nebraska has a future. Who knows?

75
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
 I mean, there's always crazy wilder things have happened.

76
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
 I know. Um,

77
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:20,000
 our, uh, super gerrymandered super majority ran through a six week ban and it is

78
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
 currently, it's been on hold about a year because, uh,

79
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
 an appeals judge put it on hold. But I mean,

80
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
 most people don't even know that they're pregnant.

81
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
 A lot of people don't even know that they're pregnant by six weeks.

82
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
 And our state notoriously had the fucking 10 year old that had to go to

83
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
 Michigan or Indiana to abort her rapists, baby.

84
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
 After the ban was put into place, but before it got put on hold.

85
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,000
 Yeah. There's a lot of lives that are being ruined by this bullshit,

86
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
 ultra conservative posturing that's going on, trying to ral up their base.

87
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
 Uh, and really all they're really riling up is essentially a quarter of the

88
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
 country is what it represents of what's going on with the people.

89
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
 And so I think that's what we're going to do.

90
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
 And I think that's what we're going to do.

91
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
 And I think that's what we're going to do.

92
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000

100
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
 And I think that's what we're going to do.

 And I think that's what we're going to do.

159
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
 I saw I know this is kind of petty,

160
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
 but I saw some of his authentic paintings by Hitler might be forgeries.

161
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
 I'll take the schadenfreude wherever I can get it.

162
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
 I'm living on it lately.

163
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
 Yeah, I mean, April schadenfreude's bring may episodes.

164
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
 Yeah, yeah.

165
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000
 That it's the thing that got me back was this six foot line of schadenfreude.

166
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
 I've been snorting on the daily things coming out about Clarence Thomas.

167
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
 I mean, fucking since we've last talked,

168
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,000
 the Tucker Carlson lost his platform to slander and enslave.

169
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
 Yeah, that was pretty.

170
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
 That was that was pretty tasty.

171
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
 That was a great fucking week, man.

172
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:28,000
 It's going to be hard to top that what that that entire week of just and it's still going like that's the best part is this this fight between Fox and Tucker where it's eating itself trying to get over the whole Dominion and future lawsuits for the fucking lie that they were trying to push.

173
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
 I just I can't wait for more.

174
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
 I'm waiting for more with baited breath for Fox to just continue to eat itself, too.

175
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:42,000
 Again, it's a beast that's become so big in its hate that it can't feed anymore that now it's chewing on its own limbs.

176
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:55,000
 So you heard the some of the recordings that the former producer released to the news about the pre-interview pre-interviews done on Fox.

177
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
 I know that like they were there's like a pay per play thing that happened also with Tucker.

178
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
 I know that much for sure.

179
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:09,000
 And I know some of the thing where they were like, no, you have to discuss it in this fashion to be a guest when it was talking about some of the voter thing.

180
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:17,000
 But like if you wouldn't mind expanding on that just to make sure that I I'm on the right page with you and then also that the audience knows for sure what we're talking about.

181
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:27,000
 OK, I forget her name. She is one of the lawsuits against Fox News because she was fired, but she was moved from Maria Batteramo's show.

182
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
 Joey Ramone would be spinning in his grave if he found out about her.

183
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
 Yeah, but that's later Joey Ramone when he was doing his own album, like just solo album, Joey Ramone.

184
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
 But even still, he would be very upset because he really liked watching her talk about the Nasdaq.

185
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000
 What's happening in a Wall Street?

186
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
 So she got moved to Tucker and she was involved.

187
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:04,000
 She had recordings of Maria Batteramo, all these other people, producers and whatnot, doing the pre interviews with different people, you know, Rudy Giuliani.

188
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
 What's his fucking name? Peter Navarro, who?

189
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
 Mike Lindell, the crack fox himself.

190
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
 Yes.

191
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
 Peter Navarro is the Green Bay sweep guy.

192
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:33,000
 If you remember him, the guy that just was going on all of the cable news networks talking about their plan to steal the election and calling it a fancy name and forgetting that he was admitting to crimes on TV.

193
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:48,000
 He's he some of the statements that he has made is part of the special counsel Jack Smith investigation, one of the many things that Jack Smith is investigating into Donald Trump.

194
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000
 This is part of the wire fraud investigation.

195
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
 OK, so this is outside of J6 stuff.

196
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
 It's even more crimes because everybody who wants to do crimes does crimes with Trump.

197
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
 Well, this is connected because of the wire string out everybody.

198
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
 We're going to make a Pepe silver board.

199
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:14,000
 This is back when people did things over the wire, over telegram, but also wire fraud.

200
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:22,000
 There was a court ruling. I forget which court I think it was the Supreme Court, which we'll get back to them in a minute.

201
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
 Every email.

202
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000
 Every fraudulent email is a count.

203
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:39,000
 So all the please donate to the election defense fund, which doesn't exist and didn't exist.

204
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
 That could be tied to a count of wire fraud.

205
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
 Oh, my lord.

206
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
 A Trump organization loves to do its fundraising via false emails that are lies.

207
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000
 Yeah, I mean, I've got one email connected to the show that is signed up for Trump emails.

208
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000
 And it's just like quite a few a day, especially back then.

209
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:07,000
 So I don't even know how they're there, but it's it's an automatic paper trail also.

210
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
 Right.

211
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
 Peter Navarro said that.

212
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:26,000
 Most of the people didn't spend the money, the surprise surprise that they were soliciting to fight the steel, stop the steel, blah, blah, blah.

213
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:37,000
 Money went towards and this is one of the people from his team saying that money went towards paying lawyers for the Eugene Carroll case, which we may or may not talk about today.

214
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000
 We probably will.

215
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
 The Alvin Bragg Grand Jury case.

216
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:50,000
 And that's just one separate investigation right now because the election defense fund wasn't created.

217
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:57,000
 There were shell companies created to siphon the money.

218
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
 But that's part of the wire fraud case.

219
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:14,000
 There is also the January 6th just did he did he not cause or does he have any fault in the riot and coup attempted coup shit that happened the way we say it so flippantly.

220
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:30,000
 The fake electors thing where people wrote people sent letters to claim that they were the actual electoral college representatives thing, which I don't know.

221
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,000
 I don't. Did we talk about that back in the day or you know what I'm talking about?

222
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:53,000
 Yeah, yeah, it was there was an electoral college thing where you could overturn the electoral votes from the state of the true all electoral college people decided to not go with the will of the actual people that voted in that state and they could overturn it and just give it to somebody else.

223
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:01,000
 Yes, there were these loose like kind of weird rules around that that should be just eliminated anyway because it just doesn't make any sense.

224
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:13,000
 I remember that but I didn't remember us discussing that there was actually a campaign of people impressionating them and committing fraud to try and overturn the votes in the state.

225
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
 Well, they weren't pretending to be other people.

226
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
 They were just claiming to be the official people.

227
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:43,000
 So they had the alternative electors meet at the same times as the regular electoral college electors and they all filled. They all did the vote and they all sent official statements to the electoral boards claiming that they were like, I am the official elector.

228
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
 That's still fraud though, right?

229
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
 Yes, exactly.

230
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000
 It's like it's a stolen valor thing at the very least.

231
00:15:50,000 --> 00:16:02,000
 That is being looked into. There are people that would start to admit to being part of it and then just say, oh, well, you know, I was just doing what the head of my local party told me to do.

232
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:10,000
 There's also the pressuring of state and local legislatures and officials like the perfect phone call in Georgia.

233
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,000
 That's looking like it's shaping up to be even more of a thing that he's going to have to worry about the New York.

234
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:21,000
 Yeah, that's getting looked into by Jack Smith and the attorney general in Georgia.

235
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,000
 The SCOTUS back to them.

236
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:36,000
 Let's see. You said the stuff about Clarence Thomas and his wife, his wife's involvement in January.

237
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
 So much stuff.

238
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:46,000
 Yeah, like the last time that we talked like a year or so ago, it got even worse. Like her involvement in it is a lot more than just like encouraging texts and things.

239
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
 It seems like she's been planning some of it.

240
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,000
 I don't know if you saw the stuff about Chief Justice Roberts, his wife.

241
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000
 Oh, he's his wife's involved in this shit, too. I didn't know that they wrote them in.

242
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:08,000
 Well, this is more in the Supreme Court doesn't have an official code of ethics. They have an honor system where they police themselves.

243
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
 Oh, yeah, because we've always investigated ourselves and found that we've done nothing wrong.

244
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:27,000
 Exactly. Roberts' wife, I think I forget what course of time it was, but she made about ten million dollars as a recruiter for law firms, placing lawyers into law firms that aren't going to be able to get the money.

245
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:37,000
 And so she was a lawyer for law firms that argued in front of the court, which some some may seem as a conflict of interest.

246
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:46,000
 Some people who realize that what a conflict of interest truly is cannot deny that it is the definition of conflict of interest.

247
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000
 Exactly. And you want to talk?

248
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:59,000
 I'm very angry with Clarence Thomas right now for fucking it all up. Other justices' financial disclosures are being looked at more closely.

249
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:07,000
 I do not know if you or anyone else is aware. I'm Charlie with the red strings, but these are all reported facts.

250
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000
 Whether or not it's unethical is up to the Supreme Court who tells us what ethical ethical means.

251
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
 But yeah, what whatever they decide to do is whether or not it's ethical for them to do it.

252
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:32,000
 Exactly. Justice Gorsuch, who would have been Justice Merrick Garland if, you know, they hadn't have held the seat empty for over a year.

253
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
 Let's call it held hostage because that's literally what they did.

254
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,000
 There we go. He did. You hear about his property deal?

255
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:55,000
 Yeah, I briefly I know that it was a property that he was not able to get purchased in any way, shape or form. And shortly after he was confirmed, I don't know if it was the same sugar daddy that's got Clarence Thomas in his back pocket.

256
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,000
 But somebody that's one of those kind of sugar daddy mega donor types bought that useless property right after that, right?

257
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:15,000
 It was a separate person. He was trying to sell a cabin in the middle of fucking nowhere in Colorado for two years with no takers. And then a week. I think it was nine days after he was appointed.

258
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:24,000
 They sold it to the head of a law firm that has quite a few cases show up in front of the court.

259
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:33,000
 Yeah, nothing's us about this and nothing says the Supreme Court's need to have an external ethics committee that follow them around more than any of this.

260
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:53,000
 And we haven't seen the documentary about Brett Kavanaugh, but more stuff has come out as reported in The Guardian recently that would you be surprised to find out that the Chuck Grassley led investigation into Brett Kavanaugh cut a lot of corners and.

261
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
 Purposefully left out.

262
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:04,000
 Negative effect information and left in disproven information.

263
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
 I would not be shocked at all, sir.

264
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:21,000
 So one of the one of the things against one of his many accusers was saying that, oh, she just mistook him for this other guy who was totally at school with us at the time.

265
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000
 He was in high school and not at the college when that happened.

266
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:35,000
 And that was known to the investigators, but that was, you know, left out because it made things look bad.

267
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:43,000
 I'm not shocked at all. This is my so not shocked face that any of that took place.

268
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:56,000
 So the Supreme Court, for lack of a better, more grand sounding phrase, is a fucking clusterfuck garbage fire right now.

269
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:07,000
 There's all these reports of justices arguing with each other and, you know, all the stuff about the who leaked the memo about the Dobbs decision.

270
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:18,000
 It seemed like as soon as they found out that Ginny Thomas was probably involved, they stopped trying to find the invest, find the leaker.

271
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,000
 There appears to be some sort of weird behind the scenes agreement, which sort of brings us back to the original point.

272
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
 And we can keep going about the Supreme Court if we like.

273
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
 There's so much fucking stuff being revealed about this mysterious shell.

274
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:49,000
 Yeah, they they they fucked themselves in by doing this and packing the court in such a manner and making it so obvious about all the horrible things that they were doing just to get these justices in place that it kind of brought too many people's attention to it.

275
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:59,000
 And look what happened, especially for Robert, who claims that his big interest is maintaining the reputation of the court.

276
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:08,000
 Right. So why would he ever go testify to try and defend the reputation of the court whenever someone is starting to question said reputation of the court?

277
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000
 He should just be able to investigate himself and not be questioned ever again ever. That sounds a lot like fascism.

278
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000
 Yeah. And I've got a bone to pick a little bit with the quote unquote liberal justices.

279
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:45,000
 The justices signed off on a letter saying that they are fine with the way they operate now, not just the shithead six or whatever you want to call the Federalist Society installed and protected justices, but the three radical left judges or whatever the fuck everybody calls them.

280
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:57,000
 They all signed off on a letter saying that they were not in need of more stringent ethics restraints.

281
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:06,000
 We will continue to investigate ourselves and find that we have done nothing wrong when we were talking about this and we're looking towards this conversation.

282
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:19,000
 I want to I looked up. I don't know if you're aware of the circuit courts, you know, the circuit courts that sort of make rulings that then the Supreme Court may or may not take up.

283
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:28,000
 Yeah, it's like a cascading system of if you get a ruling in one court, you can then choose to appeal it and continue your fight in a higher court.

284
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:35,000
 And then there's always a higher court until you get to the highest court in all of the land, which is clearly the most corrupt and pay to play.

285
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,000
 Yes. And they are in charge of the circuit courts.

286
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,000
 Right. So they will investigate the circuit courts and tell you if there's any wrongdoing and then report back to no one.

287
00:23:46,000 --> 00:24:02,000
 And they make the final rulings like, well, one of the things that seemed a little odd is that I think part of the reason why the justices may have all signed on the thing saying we don't need don't look at our ethics.

288
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
 We're going to look at our ethics was that lately there seem to be.

289
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:21,000
 Rulings where instead of the justice that's in charge of the circuit making the ruling, they've allowed the full court to take a vote on it like the Mepha president.

290
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:31,000
 If I'm pronouncing that right, the abortion pill or the pill that's actually used for other things, too, but it's only talked about and attacked as if it's only used for abortions.

291
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:36,000
 By the right wing people, I think people use it for I don't even know.

292
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:53,000
 I know that it's it's not just used for medical pill abortions, but there was that ruling by the Trump judge in Texas that just said, I know the FDA approved it 20 something years ago.

293
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
 I am undoing that right now.

294
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000
 And then another judge made a ruling saying don't listen to that guy.

295
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:16,000
 And then it went to the let me see the fifth or the Texas circuit is, I think, Alito or Kavanaugh, some humaniously useless twat.

296
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,000
 Yeah, but they went to Alito.

297
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,000
 OK, Alito. OK, here's the little civics lesson for everybody.

298
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
 Strap in folks. They neglected to teach you this in high school.

299
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
 There are nine Supreme Court justices right now.

300
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000
 The number of Supreme Court justices has changed over the years.

301
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:46,000
 But right now, the idea of changing the number of Supreme Court justices is seen as a radical idea.

302
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000
 Yeah, because it hurts the fascist state that wants to stay in charge, of course.

303
00:25:50,000 --> 00:26:00,000
 Exactly. That each justice, especially back when people used to have to travel to do things rather than be able to do things online and whatnot.

304
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:09,000
 At one point, there were nine circuits and nine Supreme Court justices.

305
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:15,000
 Because then they took care of these regions, the big decisions for those regions.

306
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
 Do you know how many circuits there are right now?

307
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000
 Twice that, I guess. There's probably a lot more, right? They're breaking up more and more, right?

308
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:36,000
 There are eleven, but also John Roberts has a D.C. circuit and a special federal circuit that seems to be random, whatever.

309
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
 Whatever he has some kind of monetary interest in that he needs to keep his monetary interest flowing. Yeah, sure.

310
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,000
 So the first circuit is run by Justice Cantonji Brown Jackson.

311
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,000
 That is Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico and Rhode Island.

312
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:00,000
 The second circuit is Justice Sonia Sotomayor. That's Connecticut, New York and Vermont.

313
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:11,000
 Alito runs the third and the fifth circuits. And if anybody does know, Alito is one of the bigger dickheads on the SCOTUS.

314
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:22,000
 So he has ruling over Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, the Virgin Islands, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

315
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,000
 That's why you see a lot of horrible shit come out of the fifth circuit.

316
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
 Makes sense.

317
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,000
 Supreme Chief Justice John Roberts has the states that are like around Washington, D.C.

318
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,000
 Also, he has Maryland, the Carolinas and the Virginias.

319
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
 Kavanaugh, fucker, he has two.

320
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:52,000
 He has the sixth and the eighth circuits, which is Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee for the sixth circuit.

321
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:02,000
 And the eighth circuit is Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and the Dakotas.

322
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:10,000
 Handmade Amy Coney Barrett is Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

323
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
 Handmade enthusiasts. Yeah.

324
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:20,000
 Elena Kagan is Alaska of the ninth. Yeah, Amy Coney Barrett is the seventh circuit. Sorry.

325
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:40,000
 And Elena Kagan is the ninth circuit, which is Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Guam, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Nevada, the Northern Mariana Islands, which I don't know where that is, and Washington state.

326
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:54,000
 Previously talked about real estate developer Gorsuch is Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming, making up the 10th circuit.

327
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:04,000
 And then Nazi friend Clarence Thomas is in charge of Alabama, Florida and Georgia rounding out the 11th circuit.

328
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
 Wow.

329
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,000
 I think there should be 11 justices.

330
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
 Yeah, one for every single circuit that currently exists. Why not?

331
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000
 It's still an odd number, so there's no ties.

332
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:35,000
 Yeah, it makes sense. As you expand the districts, you expand the overseers of it, and then you get some fucking ethics facilitation in there to keep them all honest because of checks and balances, which seem to be a thing that is only for the and not for me in this world.

333
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:47,000
 Can't fuck with my my problem. I only make over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, plus all the shit I get for making speeches and public appearances.

334
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:53,000
 And I'm making less than half of that and I'm more than happy with what I am making currently.

335
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:04,000
 So I don't understand. Well, other than just fucking pure unadulterated greed and selfishness and avarice, why you would need that much, you know, I have to pay off those debts.

336
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:16,000
 Judge Kavanaugh or pay off those non-disclosure agreements you keep trying to pop up to try and hide the grossness of your past, you rapist pig.

337
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
 Right. Alleged. Rapist pig.

338
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
 Alleged. Accused.

339
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
 Accused rapist pig. That's even better.

340
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:46,000
 And so I know in a recent campaign speech, former resident of the White House and current defendant in many cases pending and likely looming, they have the best cases, the one most wonderful cases against him.

341
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:53,000
 Believe me, he wants to appoint more judges like.

342
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:07,000
 Which one was the one that that died before Gorsuch was appointed?

343
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:20,000
 I can't remember his name. He was one of the bigger right wing douchebags. He like suffocated or died on a mysterious camping trip with other Republicans.

344
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
 God damn it.

345
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:31,000
 They found him going the way of the guy in excess in the closet somewhere and he just kind of like pulled up his pants and then let him be allegedly.

346
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000
 Scalia. That's it. Scalia.

347
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:49,000
 He said he would appoint more justices like Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who was under siege by the radical left wing press for reporting facts about him.

348
00:31:49,000 --> 00:32:03,000
 Yeah, when things come to light that people don't want to be shown, it's always slander and liable when actual slander and liable is proven in court.

349
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
 Then Fox News just settles.

350
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:12,000
 Some people talking about what if Tucker Carlson ends up over on Newsmax.

351
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:27,000
 OK, that's just the same as him being the platform because he's talking to the smallest audience possible. It just gets even more and more niche. He can't brainwash any more fucking people on the hugest platform that these conservative douche wads use to make more white nationalists.

352
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:35,000
 Tommy Tuberville, Senator Tuberville, sorry, forgot to put respect on his name.

353
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:56,000
 Fuck that guy anyway. Using his official platform to tell people to unsubscribe from Fox and start watching Newsmax because of all the because the Murdoch's are a left wing family or a liberal family trying to ruin our country or something.

354
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:07,000
 Well, they do have a history of such wonderful donations and making sure that all of the people are taken care of. And no, I'm lying, obviously.

355
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:23,000
 They're horrible, selfish pieces of shit who have corrupted news and turned it into propaganda that a racist white nationalist population that is also Christian nationalist devour up and uses an excuse to try and overthrow the government.

356
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:37,000
 Yeah, checks out typical liberals. Yeah, pointing out facts about what has happened because of your news coverage. Fox News, thanks.

357
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:48,000
 And I mean, maybe he's being really hardcore in his differentiation between liberals and left, but I don't think so.

358
00:33:48,000 --> 00:34:12,000
 No, it's essentially anybody who disappoints the current Donald Trump train and makes it to where the actual insurrectionists may face some kind of fucking jail time or anybody that doesn't automatically keep this propaganda pipeline open that is feeding their 24 or less percent base of 24 percent of the country or less.

359
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:40,000
 And dying out even faster because I don't know if you've seen the stats on the newer crop of voters coming up in the younger and younger generation of voters, but they're skewing towards all the things that the right wing are railing against like equality and treating people like people and even universal basic income and all sorts of stuff that has got to be terrifying them, which is why they're pulling out all the stops and trying to stop this from happening because

360
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,000
 everybody might have to pay their fair share when it comes to taxes soon.

361
00:34:44,000 --> 00:35:04,000
 Yeah, that's why I know my state legislature rammed through legislation last year called some of the strictest voter restrictions in the country, making it extremely difficult for.

362
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:27,000
 And we have a lot of colleges here, especially in Columbus, but also in Cleveland and Dayton and Cincinnati, making it hard for resident out of state students to vote, making it harder for enlisted people overseas to vote and eliminating August special elections because they're a big waste of money, even though in thrice,

363
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:39,000
 violating the state Supreme Court ruling against our gerrymandered districts last year, they went ahead and kept the gerrymandered districts and had a special election in August.

364
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,000
 Then they passed legislation getting rid of August elections.

365
00:35:43,000 --> 00:36:07,000
 And right now they are trying to pass legislation requiring a special August election this year, which is the lowest turnout election year round, which was their argument about eliminating it in last year or eight months ago, even they want to bring it back again.

366
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:19,000
 The party of fiscal responsibility wants to have a $20 million election, special election because activist groups gathered enough.

367
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:33,000
 We've had a thing in the state constitution since the 1800s, dictating how citizens initiatives can force laws onto the state without the legislature's help.

368
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:48,000
 If you get enough signatures and you get it on a ballot and it gets voted on and 51 percent of the state approves it in an election, they got enough signatures to undo the abortion bans that they've been ramming down our throats.

369
00:36:48,000 --> 00:37:15,000
 And it will probably be on the November ballot. So they are trying to force through legislation to force a special election in August where the fewest people vote requiring 60 percent of the state to vote for something and a certain percentage of residents from every county to approve of something for it to pass without the legislature.

370
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:21,000
 But the legislature still just needs 51 percent to do anything.

371
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:31,000
 So they're literally trying to hack the voice of the people and keep that from being able to be done by limiting their availability to get people to the polls to do this thing.

372
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,000
 Yes.

373
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:50,000
 The board of elections, every living former governor, Republican and Democrat and 200 voter rights and activist groups, bipartisan groups have spoken out against it, but they've just been ramming it through like the Senate passed something.

374
00:37:50,000 --> 00:38:00,000
 The governor, who all the Republicans called a rhino because he said Trump lost the election and that covid is real.

375
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:12,000
 He said he would sign it if they rammed it through the legislature because it means what they're doing, what they want and it would be over with.

376
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:26,000
 So it's if they they have to get it passed and signed before May 10th to force it on to a special August election.

377
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
 So I've been very stressed out lately.

378
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000
 There have been a lot of things at the statehouse downtown.

379
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:47,000
 They've they've been moving the hearings, you know, they'll set it up for one day in one building and then at the last second, they'll change where it is and the time and the date and they'll cut off people.

380
00:38:47,000 --> 00:39:11,000
 I think there was something close to 100 people showed up to testify against it and six people technically to testify for it, although one was one guy speaking on behalf of two lobbyists and they keep framing it as a we're fighting against outside influence in our elections.

381
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:22,000
 Whereas the people that are pushing for this are outside influences and they are telling the Ohio groups to shut the fuck up.

382
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:51,000
 Oh, brother. Yeah, it's become so brazen and so obvious that everything that they're doing that you don't even really need to do a whole lot of deep diving political analyzation to see that they're scrambling and they're panicking and they're terrified that this due process law that they've been using to disparage and minimize the voice of the public may eventually be pointed right back at them to where they can't manipulate and make money off of people's misery.

383
00:39:51,000 --> 00:40:06,000
 That's what it feels like, right? Yeah, it's scary because, you know, it's like the animal with its foot in the trap or whatever. And you keep thinking it's dead or the horror movie killer.

384
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:20,000
 You should be dead by now, but you keep fucking shit up so much. Yeah, it's truly the party of regression. They're trying to take it back to something that they're trying to do.

385
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:36,000
 They're trying to do something that it doesn't exist anymore and is gone. And there's too many people that are calling for something different out there. And eventually, whenever a government needs to try and suppress the voice of the people, it's just going to go full fledged fascism.

386
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:52,000
 You see them playing at full fledged fascism at this point, but at the same time, realizing how desperate they actually are when you step back and look at these actions and see how brazen they've become and they're saying the loud parts out loud now and just fully admitting to bigotry

387
00:40:52,000 --> 00:41:07,000
 and racism and just fucking homophobia and transphobia in an effort to can glamour and get any kind of response from a radicalized base that they can't control anymore. That is terrifying. Even them, you know, that's where we're at.

388
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:23,000
 I mean, that's the part that's the scariest is this has become a monster that no one can control anymore because anything that is not absolute abject, just animosity towards anyone that's not a white fucking Christian is seen as woke leftism now.

389
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,000
 It's gone that far and that bad.

390
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:36,000
 And also with the what the American Legislative Exchange Council, is that what Alec stands for?

391
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:55,000
 I don't know. They they're also aside because they're also trying these making it harder for citizens to pass things bills in all these other states, even though they keep coining them or framing them as avoid outside influence.

392
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:09,000
 Here's this national group that is writing the bills. They're all the anti trans shit. I know there was what's her name, Zoe.

393
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:24,000
 Zoe Zephyr Zephyr of Montana, the only elected trans congressperson in the Montana legislature, they found out because of the rules that the speaker can deny.

394
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,000
 Anyone in the legislature.

395
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,000
 The opportunity to speak.

396
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:43,000
 Regardless of any, you know, decorum point of order, parliamentary, you know, tradition, whatever they can just say you're not allowed to speak.

397
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:50,000
 They haven't been letting her speak on all of their anti trans bills that they've been trying to push through.

398
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,000
 And. Yeah, I don't know.

399
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,000
 It's I know they're trying some anti trans shit here, too.

400
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,000
 It's all about protecting sports.

401
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:12,000
 Allegedly. And then they go through and ban shit, ban access to health care for people over 18, which that's Missouri.

402
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:18,000
 Yeah, good job, Missouri. You've sunken the lowest of any state yet.

403
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:23,000
 And with the Montana governor, what's what's Greg Gianforte?

404
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,000
 Do you remember him from a couple election cycles back?

405
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,000
 The one that attacked the reporter.

406
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000
 Oh, yeah, you like body slammed him, right? That dude. Yeah.

407
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,000
 Yeah. The guy that body slammed a reporter on the night before the election.

408
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
 But with I remember the action, but not the name. Yeah.

409
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:47,000
 He he was he attacked a reporter from the Guardian and early voting had already happened.

410
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:53,000
 And attacking a reporter isn't really a deal breaker for a lot of right wingers.

411
00:43:53,000 --> 00:44:00,000
 If anything, attacking someone like that is definitely a deal signer where they love him life.

412
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:12,000
 So he his child is non binary and they called on him to veto the bills, but he didn't give a fuck.

413
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:24,000
 I can't remember if it's Wyoming or Montana, but the one woman in the legislature said that she would rather her kid be dead than trans.

414
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:30,000
 In official documents and official speaking.

415
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,000
 So I've started going to therapy in the first time in my life.

416
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:44,000
 I've realized that I can't rely or subject my family just to all the shit that's going on in my head.

417
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
 But.

418
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:55,000
 These some of these people need more help than I do.

419
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:08,000
 They've got some rage issues or some some sort of suppression that is really coming out in hostile ways, even against people they love.

420
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:18,000
 Yeah, I really kind of question how much of this is really just still pandering because of the desperation.

421
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:28,000
 I mean, I want to I want to give you at least some heartening on the statistics that I've been reading where I, you know, I'd have to look it up to be 100 percent on this.

422
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:37,000
 But the bulk of the country, like like over 60 percent of the country, 100 percent support trans rights and equality.

423
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:48,000
 And, you know, they want to they want to have protective legislation to keep this type of abuse from happening and for gender affirming care to be available at all ages.

424
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:53,000
 You know, it's it's something that a whole family needs to decide 100 percent for sure.

425
00:45:53,000 --> 00:46:00,000
 You know, on gender affirming care, that's you know, that's up with the parents and the children and everything on what needs to be done.

426
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:09,000
 But once someone is a full fledged adult, banning gender affirming care is essentially effectively genocide because you are killing those folks.

427
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:18,000
 You are making life for them so much more difficult than just simply allowing them to transform into the person that they need to be in order to survive.

428
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,000
 You would rather watch them die. That is what these laws are doing.

429
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:32,000
 And I don't even realize I don't think they realize like how horrible the things that they're doing and saying truly are.

430
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,000
 I don't think they understand what it is that they're trying to push here.

431
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:44,000
 They're essentially just trying to stoke the base with more fire and hate because they can't do the racial thing anymore.

432
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,000
 It's it's becoming way too obvious.

433
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,000
 And cops are finally being punished for all of the black people they murder.

434
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,000
 Not all, but some. Let's put it that way.

435
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
 More than none like it used to be.

436
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
 Yeah. Yeah.

437
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,000
 Speaking. I don't know, man.

438
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,000
 It feels like it feels like a total tipping point.

439
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:10,000
 And that's the that's the worst part to be when you're in a delicate mental mental state is to be teetering back and forth as to what is going to happen with our society and what's going to go on.

440
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,000
 And there's all these plates spinning up in the air.

441
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:25,000
 And like we've said before, while it may be one thing to sit and talk about all the interesting times that have happened in history and be fascinated by them, it sure fucking blows to live through them.

442
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
 Exactly.

443
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:32,000
 And ultimately progress wins because that is what moving forward is.

444
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:39,000
 Occasionally, regression does pop up in rear its ugly head like this and try and drag us backwards.

445
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:46,000
 But I just I don't know, man, if we're going to survive, if this plan is going to make it, we all got to do it together.

446
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:50,000
 You know, in some way, shape or form, we all kind of have to work together.

447
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:57,000
 And all of the people that are just wishing death and hatred on mankind are poisoning their brainwashed.

448
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
 Oh, Lord, child.

449
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:06,000
 And, you know, there there's a bit more comeuppance and schadenfreude coming around, like you said.

450
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:12,000
 I mean, Carolyn, Brian Adams or Karen Bryant, Donham, is that her name?

451
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,000
 She died. I'm not familiar.

452
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,000
 The woman who got Emmett Till murdered.

453
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,000
 Oh, yeah. Yeah.

454
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:24,000
 Well, she also died 77 and had a long and fucking happy life where people left her alone.

455
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,000
 So I wouldn't celebrate too much on that.

456
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,000
 I mean, yes, ding dong, the witch is fucking dead.

457
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,000
 But the witch got to live a really long life before that happened.

458
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,000
 That's true.

459
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:40,000
 People are enjoying the down the current or temporary or whatever downfall of Steve Stephen Crowder.

460
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000
 Big. Yeah.

461
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:48,000
 Well, that's that's Candace Owens is kind of really forerunning that.

462
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:57,000
 Like when I talked about the GOP eating itself, they're attacking each other and they're vying for position to be the next favorite child of propaganda.

463
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:02,000
 And Fox News may be trying to pare back its propaganda business.

464
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:16,000
 And if it softens when everything else is going so hard edged, I mean, something like Newsmax is going to probably sap even more viewers that are losing their viewership because they've platformed Tucker White Nationalist in a bow tie Carlson.

465
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,000
 And more may even be on the way.

466
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,000
 Who knows what these other lawsuits are going to reveal.

467
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:27,000
 But I mean, I would think that Fox is going to start hemorrhaging money here soon.

468
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:37,000
 Rupert Murdoch is apparently not doing so well because the wedding he was going to do it like 90 whatever irresponsible age it is to get married is now not going to take place.

469
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:46,000
 And the lawsuits are really looking like they're being settled just to defend him because maybe his mental state isn't where people want to pretend like it is.

470
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,000
 I don't know, man.

471
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:55,000
 There's so there's so much stuff that's like these little pieces of for me, it's a silver lining in the rainbow where horrible people have horrible things happen to them.

472
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:09,000
 And I focus in on that because I can't I personally can't handle all the horrible things happening to innocent people that don't deserve it just because their body may have been born physically one way, but emotionally and mentally, they were born another.

473
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,000
 Like I can't handle that either.

474
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:26,000
 All I can do is just support and amplify the voices of support as much as I can and then report the rhetoric and the hate whenever I see it pop up and then block and keep those people out of my life and not let them talk anymore.

475
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,000
 Yeah, suffocate that fire.

476
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:35,000
 Yeah, because we're not talking about people, technically.

477
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:48,000
 We're talking about the hate that is stemming from those people. They have to have a place to decorate with their bullshit. If they can't spew it at you anymore, and they don't have an outlet for it and that's a way to declare for them as well.

478
00:50:48,000 --> 00:51:02,000
 I mean, I I'm not saying I don't admire the people that go into the social media wars and and make the comments back and like really start trying to get these folks to think in a different way, but it just seems like it's not fruitful.

479
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:17,000
 And all it really does is give you the melatonin for owning someone, you know, in comment form, and it doesn't seem helpful to me but when I see someone that is engaging in such a warfare with someone who made a very clearly homophobic or transformative comment on social media,

480
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:31,000
 I report that comment that is homophobic or transphobic or whatever, and then I'll report the post if it's a post that they're being, you know, calling out for being in such a way, just because it's just, it's, it's a quick thing.

481
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:39,000
 I noticed that it's there. And I'm reporting and blocking any of those pages automatically any of those people in those commenters.

482
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:48,000
 Simple step. And yeah, I feel like positive, positive interaction with strangers is easier to do over the internet than negative.

483
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:59,000
 I don't really know exactly where I was going with her, but it seems like the people that the engagement can happen with.

484
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:09,000
 It's the you don't really troll that much in real life, but there's a lot of fucking trolling online because there's no real consequences.

485
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:27,000
 Yeah, more or less, you can get that that quick fix of whatever it is the serotonin or whatever it is that shoots out of your brain and makes you super happy like oh yeah I had to get me some of that, you know, just by arguing online and everything but you're not going to change that person's mind,

486
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:33,000
 mostly all you're going to do from insulting them is solidify them and make them think that they owned you in some way, shape or form.

487
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:46,000
 But at the same time, there's people getting outraged over the fact that there's a rainbow on their light beer can to the point where they're paying 20 bucks for the same beer per six pack, just in a package that says that it's woke and it has nothing to do with that other beer.

488
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:51,000
 I mean, that literally is a scam that Anheuser-Busch got away with and no one realized.

489
00:52:51,000 --> 00:53:02,000
 Yeah, I saw a lot of the the Duff Duff light and Duff ultra or whatever picture from The Simpsons going around with that.

490
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,000
 Where it's all just coming out of the same house.

491
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:31,000
 Right. But the the really funny thing is that woke beer that was being sold for 20 bucks a six pack was bottled by the same company. Like, I don't know if people understand that breweries are just mega breweries now like Anheuser-Busch has like one giant thing where several different brands and labels are created and brewed just like Kors does in Golden, Colorado or wherever in the Rockies with like a ton of other beer brands and stuff.

492
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:37,000
 It's just one giant factory producing beer in some way, shape or form.

493
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:42,000
 And it all goes to the same fucking parent corporation you're trying to boycott.

494
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:52,000
 So when you buy 24 pack of Bud Light to shoot up the rainbows because you're afraid to taste it and that maybe you will like be accepting of your fellow man, I guess.

495
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,000
 I don't know why you're so upset about a rainbow on a can, but OK.

496
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:09,000
 And then you go out of your way to spend twenty dollars on a woke beer can that is the same type of beer that happens to be manufactured by Goose Island, which is manufactured in the same plants as the Anheuser-Busch Bud Light.

497
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:31,000
 And it's the same beer and you paid twenty dollars for a six pack just because you needed to feel more secure in your sexuality because people that are fluid in their gender or are changing their gender or are not taking the randomly assigned through genetics and other things that you possibly can't understand gender as their default.

498
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:39,000
 Like you're upset about that. So you need to drink more expensive beer. Am I getting this right? Like, where is I don't understand.

499
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:45,000
 How are you owning anyone by doing that other than yourself and just paying a ridiculous amount of money?

500
00:54:45,000 --> 00:55:01,000
 It kind of comes back a little bit to like what you were saying with things being done for the Internet likes with especially a lot of right wing politicians and some of that very out of touch Democrats.

501
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,000
 It's like.

502
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:09,000
 Nancy Pelosi wearing a dashiki into one day. Yeah.

503
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:16,000
 Having Lin-Manuel Miranda read a poem about January 6th like that'll do it.

504
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,000
 Thanks. You solved it, Nancy. Yeah.

505
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,000
 Great job.

506
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:39,000
 Or you can't tell Dianne Feinstein to resign just because she's holding up confirmation of federal judges and not showing up for votes for two or three months or because she needs to retire.

507
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:44,000
 Not because she's old, but because she seems to have dementia.

508
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:52,000
 You can be old. That's a subjective term, but there are plenty. I think that is Congress protecting itself.

509
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,000
 But Pelosi said that people are going after her because she's a woman.

510
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:03,000
 I don't I don't know if you're aware of that whole brouhaha going on amongst the Democrats.

511
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,000
 Yeah, they're just as fucking awful.

512
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:15,000
 They're trying to play a short game of pandering right now and because they are essentially saying, hey, look, we're not the absolute worst.

513
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,000
 So you might as well vote for us. That is the Democratic platform.

514
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,000
 The days like, yeah, we're corrupt, but at least we're not them. Right.

515
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,000
 And right. Right. And pointing. That's it. That's the Democratic platform.

516
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:32,000
 Turning into another vote against this person presidential election coming over the fence.

517
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,000
 Right. It's like you have to vote for not fascism, but we're not going to do anything about fascism.

518
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,000
 That's literally one of voting rights have been lately.

519
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:52,000
 Sucks. Yeah, there's some good like we said, getting back to some of the schadenfreude there.

520
00:56:52,000 --> 00:57:01,000
 There's I know early on, you go back to the episodes where we were thinking that something was going to happen.

521
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:08,000
 Very early. And it didn't. But then we got into.

522
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:15,000
 Well, nobody's ever going to bring charges against this fucking guy or these ain't nothing going to happen.

523
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:20,000
 I was posting that on the regular on the regular. Now, still a lot.

524
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,000
 I mean, nothing's exactly happened.

525
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:31,000
 I don't know how it's all going to pan out, but there will be just like there are a lot of citations or sightings.

526
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:42,000
 I'm not sure what the proper wording would be of variable cases. Nixon versus US or US versus Nixon.

527
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:52,000
 There will be lots of Trump versus New York, New York versus Trump, the United States versus Donald Trump.

528
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:58,000
 For the next year, maybe Ron DeSantis or whoever the fuck.

529
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:03,000
 Oh, yeah, he really poked the bear with Disney on this, that lawsuit that they put up.

530
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:09,000
 Essentially, they basically just kept giving him more and more rope and watched him tie the noose with how they fucked with him.

531
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:19,000
 Well, how he how he fucked with them. And now they're like, oh, by the way, he's been harassing us.

532
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:27,000
 Like I got I got no stick. I'm not I'm not like rooting for fucking Disney, obviously, but I'm taking the lesser of two evils in this fight.

533
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:38,000
 And I'll take a giant inclusive corporate conglomeration that is trying to build people out of their money for nostalgia and childhood love of just things in life.

534
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:47,000
 But at least they're being inclusive. And in this case, it feels like they're doing this almost performatively at first.

535
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:53,000
 And then when it just continued to bite them in the ass, then they're like, all right, well, let's just be a leader for civil rights.

536
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:58,000
 I don't know how that ended up happening, that the mouse is fucking put on the gloves, but it did.

537
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:09,000
 It's I mean, the corporations will definitely defend their their profit margins, as we saw with defending voting machines.

538
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,000
 Yeah. But what I'm getting at is like Disney doesn't give a fuck about people.

539
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:22,000
 Disney gives a fuck about how it makes the most money. And if they're willing to start going to toe to toe with a fucking governor in the state where they make the biggest portion of their money, I would say in Florida.

540
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:30,000
 Chances are the side that Disney is taking in the fight is the side that's going to win because they will throw the money at it, too.

541
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,000
 So basically, somebody poked that bear till they woke it up.

542
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:41,000
 And now even the special interests that have been paying off the Republicans to do the shit that they've been doing have got to be a little worried, right?

543
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:46,000
 Because they woke the Disney bear and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

544
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,000
 Right. Like I like again, I'm not all thinking Disney's fucking great and everything.

545
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000
 It's just another corporation that's just going to do what will make it the most money.

546
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:07,000
 But apparently what's going to make it the most money is being part of this fight for inclusivity, which means they've taken the temperature of society and they have found it to be that's the side they need to fall on.

547
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:12,000
 That's got the larger percentages. They surely play the percentages.

548
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:26,000
 Absolutely. Would they would they switch in a fucking heartbeat if it seemed like the rest of the winds have shifted to that side and then somehow make out a deal where they become humble about it so they can continue to make and rake in more and more corporate money?

549
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,000
 Yeah, absolutely.

550
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:38,000
 They would fucking do that. But what I'm saying is taking the temperature of society can very easily be done and how the corporations fight for that same type of social issue.

551
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:56,000
 Yeah, it would be very interesting to see that work out that way, especially since so much time and money and effort was spent by right wing billionaires to get human personhood for corporations to fight for the right wing.

552
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,840
 To fight back against themselves.

553
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:06,080
 If more did it like Disney is doing it like.

554
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:11,400
 Disney is the main one right now, Budweiser definitely waffled.

555
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,400
 And I saw that they fired.

556
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:21,920
 The executives that were in charge of the ad campaign with the trans actor or influencer.

557
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,040
 I don't remember.

558
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,600
 How this person was famous.

559
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,920
 But the cans that made Kid Rocks had.

560
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:38,120
 Yeah, it was a it was an influencer who is trans, I think, and they gave them a specialist can just like everybody else.

561
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:45,440
 You got to keep in mind, though, the profit losses that were happening with the Anheuser-Busch was not all of the sudden just happening.

562
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:51,000
 They're trying to reconnect with a market that is no longer interested in Budweiser or Bud Light.

563
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,120
 They're trying to connect with a younger crowd.

564
01:01:54,120 --> 01:02:08,760
 And because the people that have been buying Bud Light are like the boomers and they're all dying off and they need to connect to a better brand or a better world of sales that they can tap into with the younger markets.

565
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:15,320
 And the younger markets are into a bunch of other things for their drinking or they just go to straight hard liquor because they realize there's no future for them.

566
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:21,720
 They might as well get started on their like blind drunk in an alleyway drinking rubbing alcohol strain through burnt toast.

567
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:28,760
 You know, that's that's how like the youth is drinking these days, like to try and forget just how horrible the world has become for them.

568
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:33,560
 You know, like the profit shares were already down for Anheuser-Busch.

569
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,560
 That that report was always going to be what that report was going to be.

570
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,560
 That idea that it was go woke, go broke.

571
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,080
 And that's what hurt Anheuser-Busch.

572
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:44,880
 That is a fucking smokescreen that the right wing is trying to use.

573
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,240
 No, they were already going to have that problem.

574
01:02:47,240 --> 01:03:05,160
 And the person who made that decision probably got fired for other decisions fiscally speaking, because this going into the woke and broke fight that they did and choosing the side that they did was the best move that they could make in an attempt to appeal to a new audience of people that wouldn't drink that fucking piss.

575
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:06,520
 They call Bud Light.

576
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,640
 I can't remember the last time I had a Budweiser beer on purpose.

577
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:17,000
 I do. I remember I was actually in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, working,

578
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:27,000
 doing some repair on some of the equipment for the bus systems for security cameras and things for the company that I worked for at the time that was installing that stuff.

579
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:36,320
 And we had been working nights from like four in the morning when the buses shut down till like or two in the morning.

580
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:37,360
 It was some ridiculous.

581
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,640
 Like we started at 12 or two in the morning till like 80 a.m.

582
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:46,480
 when the buses had to be out and we had to get the first ones in the garage done because they had a very hard schedule to keep for the city.

583
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,080
 And so we were out at dinner right before we were about to work for the night.

584
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:59,040
 And someone that was a representative of Budweiser or Bud Light was in the same bar with us, came up to our table and offered everyone at the table a free bud.

585
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,760
 If we would just drink it with our meal, that was it.

586
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:06,760
 That's what we were offered the supervisor at the time that was overseeing the project.

587
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:13,040
 We all looked at him and we're like, please, may we have a beer for free before we go to work?

588
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,600
 And he shook his head. Yeah, that's fine.

589
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:24,280
 So we all had a Bud Light or no, a Budweiser on on this lady's account just so that we would be sitting there in the bar drinking a Budweiser is this diverse group that was about to go to work.

590
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,320
 And it was the best tasting Budweiser I had ever tasted because it was free.

591
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:33,000
 And it was right before I was about to enjoy a long night of manual fucking labor.

592
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,600
 Was your Shawshank Redemption beers on the roof?

593
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,240
 Kind of. Yeah, it's what it felt like.

594
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:39,280
 Yeah, it was shit beer.

595
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:44,360
 But like it was a moment of something good that happened in that trip.

596
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,760
 You know what I'm saying? Yeah, there you go.

597
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,320
 I think maybe and.

598
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,640
 God, this is about nine years ago.

599
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,880
 Might have been the last time I had a Budweiser.

600
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,720
 My father in law died nine years ago.

601
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,680
 He was a party guy.

602
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,160
 He had this weird dichotomy of like.

603
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:11,920
 You're like he got us a private town car when we were dating.

604
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:17,000
 He bought us a rented us a private car to take us to the Nine Inch Nails concert.

605
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:23,560
 But he drank instant coffee and drank Budweiser and.

606
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:30,480
 You know, 100, 200 dollar bottles, liquor, but really cheap beer.

607
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:37,160
 It was such a like a weird combination, but that was probably the last time I had a Budweiser.

608
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,680
 It was a pool party at his house.

609
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:44,080
 Hmm, yeah, if it's the only beer around Bud and Bud Light is tolerable for sure.

610
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,080
 But like not by much.

611
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:51,720
 And that's really the problem that Anheuser Busch is having with Bud and Bud Light.

612
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,240
 And their sales have been steadily declining because a lot of the brands

613
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,920
 that they offer are not the brands that folks want.

614
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,120
 You could see similar reports of what's happening with cores and everything.

615
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,960
 And them putting a rainbow on their can't had nothing to do with that dropping.

616
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:10,600
 It's more or less domestic beer is just not as cool for the kids these days, I guess.

617
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:18,840
 I mean, we have something like at least 30 breweries not counting the Budweiser brewery out by the highway.

618
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:26,000
 We have, I think, 30 independent breweries in the city and at least at least one,

619
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,160
 but maybe more than one meaderies.

620
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,600
 Hipsters killed the mass produced beer.

621
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:36,800
 Hipsters killed the mass produced beer.

622
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,200
 In my heart.

623
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:38,840
 Yeah, right.

624
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,720
 Like so microbreweries are essentially taking back.

625
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:46,600
 And I mean, that's like that farm to table movement thing that I've alluded to.

626
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:51,160
 Like I bought I bought a fucking cow from a farmer locally because it saved me money.

627
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:55,680
 Right. But at the same time, I'm also going farm to table, which is the most economic

628
01:06:55,680 --> 01:07:00,240
 and environmentally lowest impact way of producing your meat.

629
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,400
 Right. That's what I'm trying to do.

630
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,600
 And that's going to that's for an entire year because I buy it all at once.

631
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:12,200
 So I'm really trying to minimize the greenhouse gas emissions for me to get the fucking beef that I want to eat.

632
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:20,440
 Right. Like I it's it's a nice consequence of the choice that I made to just buy a whole fucking quarter cow at once.

633
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,920
 Right. That's but there's many things that went into that decision in my mind that I was like, no,

634
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:30,360
 there's plenty of reasons to justify doing this other than just saving money.

635
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:38,640
 But like because of that movement, because of the farm to table movement of what restaurants are trying to do now and like a lot of these bigger chain companies,

636
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,920
 the reason that they're driving up the prices at stores and things like that is because one,

637
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:49,240
 they could get away with it because they can just blame it by inflation and then eventually lower the prices when they reach that price point of pain

638
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:54,360
 when their product costs more than people can afford to ever buy it no matter how much they need it.

639
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,400
 And therefore will live without it.

640
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,520
 Once they find that, then they lower the prices back down.

641
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,000
 And that's why the inflation naturally happened on its own.

642
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:08,600
 I'll tell you what, the Fed ain't doing shit to stop the price gouging that's going on because they can't because that's the inherent thing about capitalism.

643
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:12,160
 It's price gouging. That's how capitalism is meant to work.

644
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:16,440
 And the way that this shit is taking place,

645
01:08:16,440 --> 01:08:23,720
 the way that these giant conglomerate corporations are doing what they're doing and the tricks that they're pulling to try and make this money,

646
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:32,360
 it's like a modern society is sort of moving back away from mass produced giant amounts of quantities of things for food and all of that.

647
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:38,880
 And you kind of notice that that's like a taste maker thing and that's what people can't, you know, the people that can afford will do.

648
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:45,080
 But if you can't afford it and you're shopping at like your local Wal-Mart chain and everybody's blowing up the prices,

649
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:51,000
 but the people that are shopping there are your ultra conservative folks that will support you no matter what.

650
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:58,160
 But when you start picking their pocket where they noticeably are paying six and seven bucks for a carton of eggs,

651
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,960
 who do you think that pain price point is going to get pointed to?

652
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:03,640
 Like, where do you think they're going to go?

653
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:14,560
 So that's where the, you know, starting to attack more homophobia and going for transphobia and all of that to try and distract that mass from them being built like they are,

654
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:20,920
 I think comes into play like, let's get them angry about this very volatile thing that actually has nothing to do with anybody's

655
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:24,600
 decisions in life or who they are and who they were born to be.

656
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:32,200
 It has everything to do with this is a person that we can demonize because immigrants on the wall are no longer working.

657
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,360
 And that's the next that's the next step.

658
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:44,160
 They're pointing all of us at each other to distract us from the fact that they are stealing from us and starving us to death in order to enrich their own lives.

659
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,440
 Right. Like, that's that's that's the beauty of it.

660
01:09:46,440 --> 01:09:48,680
 That's that's the whole thing that they're doing.

661
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:53,320
 And Anheuser-Busch, Kors, all those folks are all part of it as well.

662
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,360
 But the problem is they don't know how to connect with youth.

663
01:09:56,360 --> 01:10:02,720
 And so this stuff is diminishing and everything is leading me to want to quote Bob Dylan.

664
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,560
 The times they are a change in.

665
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:10,600
 But times that are changing are interesting times and they fucking blow to lifter.

666
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:16,440
 This must be what it felt like when the 60s were really first starting to heat up.

667
01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:26,440
 Right. And like civil rights and equal rights were really a big thing that were so like it's so passionate and it's so polar opposite sides.

668
01:10:26,440 --> 01:10:36,480
 And to the average person that looks back at it now, obviously anybody who was trying to keep civil rights and women's rights down were horrible people.

669
01:10:36,480 --> 01:10:39,000
 And history looks really poorly on them.

670
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:44,560
 And yet none of us have learned from those mistakes in our lessons that can happen in the future.

671
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:55,080
 And here we are again. It's just it's come back around from immigrants and minorities to let's pick the biggest minority that everybody will not have a problem disparaging.

672
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:59,360
 Only modern people actually do have a problem with it.

673
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:04,840
 And it's a weird culture war that is happening and it's still trying to be a distraction technique.

674
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:08,880
 It all comes down to who is controlling the money.

675
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,920
 Purposefully failing an open book test.

676
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:23,200
 Oh, right. And the Democrats are not innocent in this at all, because if the status quo changes too much and it starts leaning too much, then their special interests are fucking useless as well.

677
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:34,040
 I mean, who's going to pay the Democrats to moderately sit on the fence and do nothing about any of this shit if, you know, everything keeps getting pushed further and further to the right.

678
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:38,520
 How are they supposed to moderately sit the fence and do nothing?

679
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,720
 It's bad for business.

680
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:44,200
 There's no progressive. There's only regression.

681
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:50,400
 And then there's trying to get back to homeostasis where we were before we were aggressive in this nation. That's all there is.

682
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,400
 And it's been happening that way since we were kids in the 90s.

683
01:11:53,400 --> 01:12:02,960
 And I don't I don't fault you for needing to do some self-care at this point, because it's been the same battle since we were fucking 15, dude.

684
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:11,680
 It has not changed. It just keeps pivoting to the next thing that they want to draw attention to to distract you from the fact that our

685
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:16,480
 society is collapsing because it's capitalist base and without any compassion or care.

686
01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:21,240
 And it's a libertarian nightmare we all live in now.

687
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:26,120
 And now a word from our sponsors.

688
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:32,360
 This will keep you quiet. Oh, hi there. I didn't see you. You caught me cutting a new show.

689
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:38,720
 I'm Bo Randstell, and I'm one of the many creators you can find on Legion podcasts.

690
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:42,000
 I said quiet.

691
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:47,920
 My fellow podcasters and I work hard to bring you the best in horror podcasting, but that comes at a cost.

692
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,400
 Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?

693
01:12:51,400 --> 01:13:03,080
 Not that, but also yes. No, what I'm getting at is that there are server costs, costs for good microphones and software for editing, all the things that make our shows, you know, fun to listen to.

694
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:13,320

01:13:55,980 --> 01:13:58,740
 (loud rumbling)

707
01:13:58,740 --> 01:14:01,500
 (loud rumbling)

708
01:14:01,500 --> 01:14:04,260
 (loud rumbling)

709
01:14:29,020 --> 01:14:33,180
 Yeah, I mean they hit the literally smearing shit

710
01:14:33,180 --> 01:14:36,260
 on the walls level of tantrum a couple of years ago.

711
01:14:36,260 --> 01:14:47,040
 They're gonna have to pass out at some point.

712
01:14:56,220 --> 01:15:01,220
 And then we can all rest and do what we wanted to do

713
01:15:01,220 --> 01:15:04,020
 three hours ago.

714
01:15:04,020 --> 01:15:06,780
 (loud rumbling)

715
01:15:06,780 --> 01:15:30,580
 Even those getting dragged,

716
01:15:30,580 --> 01:15:32,920
 kicking and screaming into modernity.

717
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,680
 (loud rumbling)

718
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:47,560
 There we go universe.

719
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,420
 Do it to get back at 90s court.

720
01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:03,520
 And he'll admit it.

721
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:15,160
 We'll see, we'll see.

722
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:20,120
 I think that was the natural ending.

723
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:24,540
 I know who doesn't know court,

724
01:16:24,540 --> 01:16:28,160
 but I think we've hit the time

725
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:33,160
 of the traditional plugging of your creative outlets

726
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:34,480
 part of the show.

727
01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:37,140
 (loud rumbling)

728
01:16:37,140 --> 01:17:01,440
 Of course.

729
01:17:01,440 --> 01:17:04,100
 (loud rumbling)

730
01:17:04,100 --> 01:17:06,760
 (loud rumbling)

731
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,420
 (loud rumbling)

732
01:17:09,420 --> 01:17:12,080
 (loud rumbling)

733
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,820
 (loud rumbling)

734
01:17:14,820 --> 01:17:17,560
 (loud rumbling)

735
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,300
 (loud rumbling)

736
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:23,040
 (loud rumbling)

737
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,780
 (loud rumbling)

738
01:17:25,780 --> 01:17:28,520
 (loud rumbling)

739
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,260
 (loud rumbling)

740
01:17:56,340 --> 01:18:01,340
 And the other show is not called court is in session,

741
01:18:01,340 --> 01:18:03,780
 but that is what I thought in my head

742
01:18:03,780 --> 01:18:06,920
 when you said arguing for or against movies.

743
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:19,820
 There we go.

744
01:18:19,820 --> 01:18:20,860
 That could be it.

745
01:18:23,540 --> 01:18:27,260
 Or April, Sean and Freud's bring may episodes.

746
01:18:27,260 --> 01:18:37,140
 (laughing)

747
01:18:37,140 --> 01:18:38,220
 Don't go anywhere.

748
01:18:38,220 --> 01:18:39,260
 It's time to say goodbye.

749
01:18:39,260 --> 01:18:40,760
 Listen, you smell something.

750
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:44,020
 - Listen, you smell that?

751
01:18:44,020 --> 01:18:46,740
 - That's corruption in the Supreme court.

752
01:18:46,740 --> 01:18:49,520
 Don't forget to duck and cover kids.

753
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,380
 - Also, especially don't let justice Kevin,

754
01:18:52,380 --> 01:18:54,380
 I'll take you to a second location.

755
01:18:54,380 --> 01:18:55,580
 - He likes beer.

756
01:18:55,580 --> 01:18:57,660
 He probably likes Budweiser.

757
01:18:57,660 --> 01:19:00,140
 - Until they put a fucking rainbow on it.

758
01:19:00,140 --> 01:19:01,780
 - Then it makes him mad,

759
01:19:01,780 --> 01:19:05,660
 like being reminded of the shitty things he did.

760
01:19:05,660 --> 01:19:07,900
 But you know, it's not shitty.

761
01:19:07,900 --> 01:19:11,420
 Every time you all give me your time to listen to me

762
01:19:11,420 --> 01:19:14,340
 and one of my dear friends, rant and ramble

763
01:19:14,340 --> 01:19:18,020
 about this horrible, wonderful world of ours.

764
01:19:18,020 --> 01:19:21,460
 - If you want me back on the reg on this show folks,

765
01:19:21,460 --> 01:19:23,060
 just hit me up.

766
01:19:23,060 --> 01:19:24,380
 I felt like I had said my piece

767
01:19:24,380 --> 01:19:26,040
 and everybody was done with me, but I guess not.

768
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:27,120
 If not, let me know.

769
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:29,820
 - Oh, you're regularly requested.

770
01:19:29,820 --> 01:19:33,100
 I was just trying to leave you in your happy place.

771
01:19:33,100 --> 01:19:33,940
 (laughing)

772
01:19:33,940 --> 01:19:35,460
 - Yeah, the world is not a happy place

773
01:19:35,460 --> 01:19:37,060
 and I need to come out of my happy place

774
01:19:37,060 --> 01:19:39,460
 to try and help as best I can.

775
01:19:39,460 --> 01:19:43,660
 - Well, you'll hear me again soonish

776
01:19:43,660 --> 01:19:48,660
 and sounds like me and court again also soonish,

777
01:19:48,660 --> 01:19:51,140
 possibly with a movie.

778
01:19:51,140 --> 01:19:52,060
 You never know.

779
01:19:52,060 --> 01:19:53,760
 Sometimes we talk about the movie.

780
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:57,020
 Sometimes we do a movie and we talk as little about a movie

781
01:19:57,020 --> 01:19:59,340
 as we did tonight where there was no movie.

782
01:19:59,340 --> 01:20:02,100
 We didn't mention a movie.

783
01:20:02,100 --> 01:20:05,340
 We talked about the documentary about Brett Kavanaugh

784
01:20:05,340 --> 01:20:10,340
 and his horrible actions, but we haven't seen it.

785
01:20:10,340 --> 01:20:11,860
 - We're getting worse than Stephen King

786
01:20:11,860 --> 01:20:13,220
 at ending shit here, dude.

787
01:20:13,220 --> 01:20:14,260
 (laughing)

788
01:20:14,260 --> 01:20:15,100
 - Oh, right.

789
01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:18,100
 ♪ He did what we all must learn to do ♪

790
01:20:18,100 --> 01:20:21,100
