Audio shared by Testecleese: And now's the time when things are shifting.
0:12
Audio shared by Testecleese: Is there gonna be a new one?
0:14
Audio shared by Testecleese: Things are shifting, aren't they?
0:16
Brian McFadden: Time.
0:20
Audio shared by Testecleese: Is that true international pressure?
0:23
Audio shared by Testecleese: I am not suicidal!
0:26
Audio shared by Testecleese: We'll circle back with you directly. I can circle back, I'll circle back with you.
0:31
Audio shared by Testecleese: Do not come.
0:34
Audio shared by Testecleese: Do not come.
0:36
Audio shared by Testecleese: I'm gonna come.
0:38
Audio shared by Testecleese: Hello, and welcome to episode 236 of the Jeffrey and Brian Show. I am Jeffrey.
0:45
Brian McFadden: I'm Brian.
0:47
Testecleese: I noticed you guys drinking some beer, talking about what's going on.
0:50
Audio shared by Testecleese: I understand most of you guys can't see us.
0:54
Testecleese: But, I have gone and done something fun with my face here for a couple days.
0:59
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:00
Testecleese: got the… got the evil duh… was it, Dick Dastardly mustache?
1:08
Testecleese: goatee setup thing, I don't know. It was fun.
1:12
Testecleese: Might try to rock this for a week before I come on next week, and maybe I'll have a, Charlie Chaplin mustache.
1:19
Brian McFadden: Hmm.
1:20
Brian McFadden: Nice.
1:22
Testecleese: Can't let Hitler steal all the cool mustaches, right?
1:24
Brian McFadden: Nope, nope.
1:27
Testecleese: Anyway, we're definitely gonna get into the news of the world, and it's not gonna take long today, because that's pretty much all that's going on, but there is some other shit that we need to talk about.
1:36
Brian McFadden: Oh.
1:39
Testecleese: For one, we've talked about this before.
1:41
Brian McFadden: with Girl Scouts.
1:41
Testecleese: it's… Campin' out in front of the pot dispensaries, right?
1:45
Brian McFadden: I think it's a good idea.
1:46
Testecleese: I think it's a brilliant idea. These are businesswomen right here. You want them to be boss bitches, or boss babes, or whatever you want to call them, right?
1:53
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:54
Testecleese: And you tell him, no, you can't do that. I'm like, I don't know, man, what… the pothead's just gonna walk real slow and go, could I buy some cookies? That's right.
2:03
Testecleese: But yeah, New Jersey,
2:06
Testecleese: It's caused a debate. I guess they didn't shut them down this time, or did they?
2:11
Testecleese: Because I remember that last time we talked about it, they got shut down wherever they were, and it was like, well, that seems kind of ridiculous. You could set up on any other street corner, you know?
2:19
Brian McFadden: No, they're allowed to do it. Well, Girl Scouts of Central and South New Jersey reject the IID in 2024. They're allowing one troop to try it this year.
2:30
Testecleese: Oh, so it was the same place where they got in trouble last time.
2:32
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
2:34
Testecleese: Alright, alright. So, there we go, we are actually following up on this shit.
2:40
Brian McFadden: It just pops up in my newsfeed, so…
2:43
Testecleese: Well, yeah. Well, check this out, I actually…
2:46
Testecleese: I don't know if it's in here or not, I thought it was in here, but apparently, cannabis has been linked to, chronic liver damage. Not the cannabis causing it, but in helping it.
2:58
Testecleese: So, it's like, we keep hearing these articles of how it causes, like, popcorn lung, like, or whatever, like, vape did, you know? But then we hear that it, like, cures liver cancer kind of stuff, you know?
3:07
Brian McFadden: Right.
3:09
Testecleese: So, it seems like these… you just have people on…
3:12
Testecleese: Either side of this argument, trying to find whatever excuse they have,
3:17
Testecleese: Let's be real, any medication, any drug.
3:22
Testecleese: Affects your body, or else it wouldn't be called a drug, right?
3:24
Brian McFadden: Dope.
3:26
Testecleese: So… Alright.
3:28
Testecleese: Oh, that's actually the next frickin' art story, I didn't realize that, yeah. Compounds found in canvas reduce liver fat in a new study, and fat in the liver is usually caused by, damage that's been ongoing.
3:43
Testecleese: Don't want to get too much into household medication, but the wife recently had to change her diet.
3:48
Testecleese: Because of liver issues, which…
3:50
Testecleese: Weird thing might have something to do with, the burn pits in the Middle East.
3:55
Testecleese: when she was in the Air Force, that also gave her kidney cancer, and why she only has one kidney now.
4:00
Brian McFadden: Did she apply… did she apply for disability with that?
4:03
Testecleese: I told her to contact the VA, she hasn't yet.
4:06
Testecleese: And she said, well, it takes so many people to say something before they actually agree. I was like, yes, and maybe you're gonna be one.
4:11
Brian McFadden: The burn pits have been added to the PACT Act.
4:14
Testecleese: Yeah, for kidney cancer, it hasn't been brought up with liver damage.
4:18
Brian McFadden: It doesn't hurt to try.
4:19
Testecleese: That's what I said, it's like, maybe you're gonna be the one who puts it over the line. And she's waiting on test results to come back to find out if she's got liver cancer.
4:27
Brian McFadden: Hmm. So…
4:28
Testecleese: Great. She already beat cancer once.
4:30
Testecleese: You know?
4:31
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
4:32
Testecleese: Which is nuts, I'm the guy who gets frickin' hammered on this show.
4:36
Testecleese: smokes. I'm the one taking stupid chances out there, and she's the one who keeps getting sick because of the weird shit they were burning, what was it, Abu… not Abu Dhabi, was it?
4:45
Testecleese: Borrow rain, maybe?
4:48
Brian McFadden: That was about right.
4:49
Testecleese: Maybe.
4:50
Testecleese: I just… I remember… I still think it's hilarious.
4:53
Testecleese: She got sent to Abu Dhabi, in the Air Force, and she thought it was a made-up place, she thought it was, like, a joke, she was being hazed.
5:01
Testecleese: Because Garfield used to send Nurmal to Abu Dhabi. I was like, no, no, it's a real place. Well, I know that now.
5:10
Testecleese: Alright, wasn't sure where to put this, but we didn't have a whole lot of follow-up.
5:17
Testecleese: And we did talk about the shooting in Texas last week.
5:21
Testecleese: Yeah. Apparently, some of these anti-ICE protesters?
5:26
Testecleese: Basically conspired with this terrorist to carry out this attack.
5:32
Testecleese: So… I'm curious to see where that goes, because, conspiracy to commit terrorism…
5:39
Testecleese: is a pretty big charge, I don't know what it carries, but it might be a capital offense in the United States. Under the federal government, I don't know.
5:49
Testecleese: Boy, here's a good one!
5:51
Testecleese: Did you share this one? The, Treasure Hunter in Ohio?
5:54
Brian McFadden: No.
5:57
Testecleese: He served, a decade in jail.
6:01
Testecleese: he found a sunken ship with 500 gold coins in it, and he hid the gold coins and wouldn't tell anyone where they were, so he waited out his 10-year sentence, and he's gonna go collect it on his own. I thought maritime…
6:15
Testecleese: maritime salvage law said, finders keepers.
6:20
Testecleese: It was, like, an 1800s ship, so it's not like…
6:24
Testecleese: Someone can still lay claim to it, right?
6:26
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
6:28
Testecleese: So I don't understand why this guy got, incarcerated, but…
6:32
Testecleese: There's probably more to it, I didn't see the actual…
6:35
Testecleese: trial stuff, I just saw that he served his sentence, and…
6:39
Testecleese: Double jeopardy takes effect here, he can't be tried again for this crime, he can go get his gold.
6:46
Testecleese: You know as well as I, 500 gold coins, you're fucking retiring, aren't you?
6:50
Brian McFadden: Yep.
6:51
Testecleese: Go right to the pawn shop, like, I'm gonna sell you 5 gold coins, I'm gonna go buy a house.
6:57
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
7:00
Testecleese: But yeah, I don't know, I just thought that was cool. You always… you see movies about this stuff, it never happens in real life.
7:07
Testecleese: Do you know anything about this Carrie Lake thing, the Voice of America?
7:11
Brian McFadden: She was… she was running for governor in Arizona and lost.
7:15
Testecleese: I remember that, but what's up with this judge undoing her voice of America?
7:20
Brian McFadden: You laying a bunch of people off and trying to shut off different parts of the business.
7:25
Testecleese: I don't understand why you can't fire people.
7:28
Testecleese: Like, this seems insane to me, that… no wonder why the government's bloated if we can't get rid of…
7:33
Testecleese: Unnecessary stuff, right?
7:35
Brian McFadden: No.
7:38
Testecleese: Oh my god.
7:39
Testecleese: Do you have anything to add to that?
7:44
Testecleese: I don't know much about the story.
7:47
Brian McFadden: They're basically saying that…
7:49
Brian McFadden: They're avoiding most of the actions she took as CEO, because they don't think she really is the CEO of Voice of America.
7:57
Testecleese: You can't just say, I don't think you're the CEO, when it's your fucking title.
8:01
Brian McFadden: That's like…
8:02
Testecleese: He's saying, not my president, he's not Right?
8:04
Brian McFadden: Judges get to do whatever they want.
8:07
Testecleese: Yeah… did you hear about the judge who just came out, with the decision and his opinion concerning,
8:16
Testecleese: was, I think it's in Washington State, a Korean women's, spa.
8:22
Brian McFadden: -
8:23
Testecleese: they want to do only women, because it's like a nude thing, like the spa, you know what I mean?
8:29
Testecleese: And I went to court, and people were like, oh, that's sexist! And like, no, no, because they wanted to let trans people in.
8:36
Testecleese: And the judge actually said, how are we gonna have any decorum with swinging dicks, everywhere? I was like, whoa! But he made it a point of saying he used the language intentionally, because if the language offends you, the swinging dick probably offends you more, right?
8:54
Testecleese: Well, it just…
8:56
Testecleese: It's baffling, dude, that people are more offended talking about what's going on than what's actually happening. Just like, people were more offended by the alleged white supremacists protesting, but they… they were more offended by that than the, radical Islamists who threw bombs at them.
9:13
Brian McFadden: Right.
9:14
Testecleese: We talked about that last week, or is that since then?
9:18
Testecleese: That might be since then.
9:20
Brian McFadden: Yeah, I don't remember talking about it.
9:22
Testecleese: Alright, well, it's in here somewhere, I'm sure.
9:26
Testecleese: And, mentioned this last week, Brandon Herrera, AK guy?
9:31
Brian McFadden: Huh.
9:32
Testecleese: got Trump's endorsement for Congress.
9:36
Testecleese: And, what, Trump's got, like, a 90-plus percent,
9:41
Testecleese: Rating of being right when it comes to his endorsements?
9:47
Testecleese: -Oh, Brian's already fallen asleep over here, guys, we might be in trouble.
9:50
Brian McFadden: Yep.
9:52
Testecleese: What'd you do today?
9:55
Brian McFadden: I couldn't sleep last night, so…
9:56
Testecleese: Yeah, well, yeah, I know what that's like.
10:00
Testecleese: Dude, check this out.
10:02
Testecleese: Tuesday, I was out in my yard in shorts, right?
10:05
Testecleese: Made the shit.
10:06
Brian McFadden: Sounds very familiar weather here.
10:08
Testecleese: Well, when I…
10:10
Brian McFadden: Torrent's for, like, 3 days.
10:12
Testecleese: Yeah, I went out and I had a bonfire burning all the wood. Friggin' then had a thunderstorm.
10:17
Testecleese: Two nights ago, fucking snowed yesterday, I still have snow on the ground.
10:21
Brian McFadden: Nope.
10:24
Testecleese: Oh, my goodness.
10:25
Brian McFadden: I started out today in shorts yesterday, and by the time I got done with work, at, like, 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I was freezing to death, because I needed…
10:33
Testecleese: Yeah, it's like 30 degrees. You're like, what the hell?
10:38
Testecleese: Check this out, Alexander Butterfield. I never heard this name, but I guess he was the one who blew the whistle on Nixon's,
10:46
Testecleese: Watergate thing?
10:48
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
10:49
Testecleese: He just died.
10:51
Testecleese: 99 years old.
10:54
Brian McFadden: That's pretty old.
10:56
Testecleese: Yeah, and I just want to point out again, Nixon tapped one phone in one hotel room.
11:01
Brian McFadden: Unlike the Obamas.
11:03
Testecleese: Yes, and he resigned. Then Obama went and wiretapped every American citizen. Everyone's like, yeah, this is a great idea!
11:10
Testecleese: Just pointing out again how when a Republican does something, it's wrong. When a Democrat does it, we should all cheer, right?
11:16
Brian McFadden: Yep.
11:20
Testecleese: Alright.
11:21
Testecleese: Oh, there we go.
11:24
Testecleese: What the fuck?
11:25
Testecleese: What's going on with your governor?
11:28
Brian McFadden: I hope she's a…
11:28
Testecleese: You're gonna burn your steak to the ground, and you know it.
11:30
Brian McFadden: Yup.
11:32
Brian McFadden: Another reason why I'm happy to be leaving for a while.
11:37
Testecleese: Don't go back, dude!
11:40
Testecleese: th-th-there's…
11:43
Testecleese: This gun ban they're trying to do, they were talking about assault pistols. What the fuck is an assault pistol?
11:48
Brian McFadden: Is that even a thing?
11:50
Testecleese: No, and the guy… the guy I talked to was like, oh yeah, you know, if you got that extra foregrip on the front, you can keep it, you just can't buy a new one. I was like.
11:57
Testecleese: Kind of pistol has a foregrip!
12:00
Testecleese: Like, is he talking about a short-barreled rifle that you need to pay a tax stamp and get a license for?
12:05
Brian McFadden: I have no idea.
12:08
Testecleese: Oh. This is the argument that drives me nuts, though.
12:12
Testecleese: Because they'll say, like, oh, well, if you're not a citizen, it's illegal to vote, so we don't need to do this stuff. I'm like, well, it's illegal to fucking kill people, so why do you need to start banning guns?
12:21
Brian McFadden: Right.
12:22
Testecleese: You know?
12:24
Testecleese: And I brought that up to my brother recently, and he's like, nobody's voting, illegally, there's no fraud, it's just not happening. I was like, Brian.
12:32
Testecleese: That's my brother's name, too. You asked me to cast in your mail-in ballot for you.
12:37
Brian McFadden: Did you understand?
12:38
Testecleese: And that is voters.
12:39
Brian McFadden: Fraud.
12:39
Testecleese: Like, that… I was like, that's why I told you, that's a felony, and that's fraud. He's like, well, you didn't do it, though. I was like, no, you sent our aunt to go do it instead!
12:49
Brian McFadden: She was dumb enough to do it.
12:53
Testecleese: Well, because they voted for the same person, and she won't, you know, she doesn't have an issue breaking the law.
12:58
Testecleese: If it gets her way, but dear God! I asked them to mail in a vote for me, voting, at that point, libertarian.
13:05
Brian McFadden: Right.
13:07
Testecleese: They would have called the fucking cops on me, and you know it.
13:09
Brian McFadden: Yep.
13:13
Testecleese: Oh, and here we go!
13:15
Testecleese: the ODU shooting what?
13:19
Brian McFadden: No, it happened yesterday.
13:21
Testecleese: Yeah, I was gonna put it down with, the war stuff.
13:26
Brian McFadden: Is it in there? Because I added that just now, right before all the stove started.
13:30
Testecleese: Oh, okay, yeah, I was… I was gonna put it down there, but…
13:35
Testecleese: I don't know, I've decided to put it in local.
13:38
Testecleese: So, it was, this guy was a convicted ISIS member, correct?
13:43
Brian McFadden: And a member of the National Guard.
13:46
Testecleese: Yes, and because he got a pardon from the libs.
13:50
Testecleese: Because everyone deserves a second chance! So he took that opportunity to go join the National Guard, get training and get handed a rifle.
13:57
Brian McFadden: Alright.
13:59
Testecleese: and killed people, the ROTC folks, at ODU.
14:04
Brian McFadden: Yeah, he killed, he killed the, Lieutenant Colonel that was in charge of the Army ROTC.
14:09
Testecleese: Yes. Did you see it was students.
14:13
Brian McFadden: Yeah, it was ROTC students that stopped him from killing more people.
14:18
Testecleese: Hold on.
14:19
Testecleese: Did you see how he stopped him?
14:23
Testecleese: He stabbed the man to death.
14:26
Brian McFadden: Good.
14:26
Testecleese: He brought a knife to a gunfight and won.
14:30
Testecleese: Because that's all I could think, was like, how long is it gonna take these ROTC kids to get into the frickin' gun locker, get an actual gun, get actual ammunition, you know what I mean?
14:40
Testecleese: And he's like, no, I got a knife.
14:42
Testecleese: Jeez, and how many lives did this kid probably save?
14:46
Brian McFadden: Hundreds? No telling, I mean…
14:48
Testecleese: Possibly.
14:49
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
14:50
Testecleese: I don't know what the rules are of ROTC, but this student deserves some kind of medal, I think.
14:55
Brian McFadden: I'm very real good at metal.
14:57
Testecleese: Yeah.
14:58
Testecleese: And here's the question, is… does this harden his resolve to be a soldier, or is he a…
15:05
Testecleese: Late teenager, early 20-something, gonna say, fuck that, I'm not getting involved in this shit again.
15:10
Brian McFadden: Well, since his commanding officer was killed, I would say it probably hardens his resolve.
15:16
Testecleese: Possibly. It's also possible he goes, I don't want to have anything to do with this.
15:20
Testecleese: You know what I mean?
15:21
Brian McFadden: I don't…
15:22
Testecleese: I don't know. I don't know how much more we're gonna hear about this guy.
15:31
Testecleese: This one, I think, is Virginia, too.
15:36
Testecleese: Yeah, Northern Virginia… I mean, what county is it?
15:41
Testecleese: Prince William Board County, Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
15:45
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
15:47
Testecleese: I don't know, I guess the…
15:49
Testecleese: the Muslim guy running on the Democrat ticket had tweeted a whole bunch of racist stuff a decade ago, and…
15:55
Testecleese: Democrats wouldn't vote for him.
15:58
Brian McFadden: Yup.
16:00
Testecleese: Very interesting to me, because didn't they elect
16:04
Testecleese: Jay Jones, who said we should kill children in their mother's arms so they can change their mind about, their policies?
16:12
Brian McFadden: Yup.
16:12
Testecleese: Yeah, and he's still got into office, but this guy said something about black people. Oh, maybe that's what it is. He said something about black people and not white people, or Republicans. Maybe that's what it is.
16:23
Testecleese: That would make sense. I would offend the Democrats, even if it was a decade ago, because you know how much they love their cancel culture.
16:30
Brian McFadden: I love at the desk.
16:32
Testecleese: Yeah, yeah.
16:33
Testecleese: But yeah, it looks like a Republican took the seat.
16:36
Testecleese: I don't know, is that a local government or a federal?
16:42
Testecleese: looks like it's, local government, like, Virginia.
16:47
Testecleese: Yeah, board of supervisors, so… I don't know what that really means to anybody.
16:52
Brian McFadden: Well, he's gonna be back letting his fellow co-workers out of jail, out of the penalty box.
17:00
Testecleese: I suppose. I suppose at least you got… stopped him from, getting the seat.
17:09
Testecleese: Check this out, West Virginia Senate has just passed a bill
17:14
Testecleese: For a certain medication for chemo patients.
17:18
Testecleese: Apparently, it does something to cool your scalp down. I'm not sure quite how it works, but it helps prevent the hair loss.
17:26
Testecleese: Associated with chemotherapy.
17:28
Testecleese: And they've mandated that, well, it has to get… it's gonna go to the governor's desk, but it's gonna mandate that, insurance companies have to cover it with chemotherapy. It's, like, an included part of it.
17:40
Testecleese: So…
17:41
Testecleese: Not sure what I think of it, but if that's what West Virginia wants to do, I'm not gonna argue with them over it, you know?
17:49
Testecleese: And I found out that Randy Moss is from West Virginia.
17:53
Brian McFadden: Okay.
17:54
Testecleese: Had no idea. He was recently on, the Kelsey Brothers podcast, you know, Travis, Kelsey, and his brother.
18:03
Testecleese: Giving a big shout-out to West Virginia, it's a different breed of people out here.
18:07
Testecleese: And, don't move to West Virginia and bring your crazy values from where you come from.
18:13
Brian McFadden: Right.
18:13
Testecleese: You're just gonna be pissed off, and you're gonna start fights with everybody.
18:18
Testecleese: And he pointed out that everybody has a gun, so you can't just run around threatening to kill fucking everybody when they disagree with you, because as soon as you threaten to kill someone, you might get shot.
18:29
Brian McFadden: Right.
18:33
Testecleese: Here we go, Guapo shared these, but he is tough to find sometimes.
18:39
Testecleese: the reading scores for the kid… the young kids, it says, is still lagging way behind since the COVID epidemic, but I don't think it's…
18:48
Testecleese: I don't think the COVID epidemic caused this lag in…
18:52
Testecleese: literacy, I think it brought it to light because parents could see it when their.
18:57
Brian McFadden: Right.
18:57
Testecleese: Home on the computer at school.
18:59
Brian McFadden: Nope.
19:00
Testecleese: And what's… what's crazy is these parents are pretending like this shit never happened, and they're just completely content with what's going on in school again.
19:07
Testecleese: It's like, what, if it's not in your face, it's not happening?
19:10
Brian McFadden: Pretty much.
19:12
Testecleese: Dear God.
19:13
Testecleese: Which is interesting, because… Speaking of, there's this, girl in the state of Washington, a young lady, rather.
19:22
Testecleese: Just graduated a 387.
19:25
Testecleese: And… she's illiterate, and she's suing her school, and we've talked about more than one of these, haven't we?
19:33
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
19:33
Testecleese: With, these kids, like, that one girl got, like, a full ride to college because of her, you know, excellence and… academic excellence.
19:41
Testecleese: And she's like, I can't read.
19:44
Testecleese: And that's what you get with No Child Left Behind.
19:47
Brian McFadden: Yeah. You just pass her through, you pass her through, because if she gets left behind, she's gonna feel bad.
19:52
Testecleese: It's like, yeah, but you're not… you're not teaching these kids, you're just pushing them through. You could literally just sit there and do nothing.
19:57
Testecleese: And you're gonna graduate. So what good is a high school education if literally everyone gets it for simply showing up?
20:06
Testecleese: I don't know about you, but we had kids stay behind when I went to school.
20:10
Testecleese: They'd have to do, like, you know, junior year again, you know?
20:17
Testecleese: Gotcha.
20:20
Testecleese: Here we go. More lib policy. Starbucks is closing 5 locations in Seattle alone.
20:29
Brian McFadden: I think you're… I think you're wet. You're unplugged.
20:33
Brian McFadden: Screen just got… your screen just got really dim.
20:36
Testecleese: That's weird.
20:38
Testecleese: I might just be moving, the light's changing.
20:40
Brian McFadden: Okay.
20:41
Testecleese: But yeah, Starbucks is closing 5 locations in Seattle.
20:46
Testecleese: And it's obviously the taxes and everything that's going on.
20:50
Brian McFadden: That's the home of Starbucks as well.
20:52
Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, and they're leaving Seattle. The CEO is leaving Washington State.
20:59
Testecleese: You hear about this wealth tax they wanna do?
21:03
Brian McFadden: Not really.
21:04
Testecleese: Alright.
21:05
Testecleese: Washington State's
21:08
Testecleese: Constitution outlaws income tax, but they are trying to push through, and are about to finish pushing through, an income tax on the wealthiest people.
21:16
Testecleese: And they're saying it's only the wealthiest whatever percent.
21:19
Testecleese: And the big argument is, obviously.
21:22
Testecleese: That was what they said in World War II, and now everyone's paying income tax, right?
21:26
Brian McFadden: Yep.
21:28
Testecleese: And… and the best part is they didn't say… they're calling it, like, the top 3% or whatever, but it's actually over X dollars a year.
21:38
Testecleese: And some of these fools are coming out and actually saying, well, since Massachusetts started taxing the crap out of everyone, they have more millionaires than ever. Because they hyperinflated everything in Massachusetts.
21:48
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
21:50
Testecleese: And plus, it's the most moved out of state right now?
21:54
Testecleese: So anyone who has actual wealth leaves, and then a guy making 100 grand a year, which, by the way, sounds like a decent amount of money.
22:02
Testecleese: On average, you need $95,000 a year.
22:06
Testecleese: To pay for a two-bedroom apartment In Boston.
22:11
Testecleese: Actually, not in Boston.
22:13
Testecleese: average statewide, so Boston's probably more expensive, right?
22:20
Testecleese: Yeah, it's like, it's impossible to do this up, that's why everyone's rolling out, just like California, now they're leaving Washington, they're leaving New York City.
22:31
Testecleese: It's just… it's… Crazy. Now, Yamaha has been in, Cyprus, California?
22:37
Testecleese: For a decade, and they're leaving for, Georgia, I think?
22:42
Testecleese: Is it Georgia? Yeah, Georgia.
22:46
Testecleese: I'm sure you know Yamaha, they're kind of famous for their motorcycles and dirt bikes.
22:55
Testecleese: And that's the thing, is like, Again.
22:59
Testecleese: There's a certain point when taxes get so high, there's a certain point where people are gonna say, it's gonna cost me less money to move my entire company to another state and build a new factory.
23:08
Testecleese: that I'm gonna pay in taxes every year in California.
23:14
Testecleese: you know, old Washington or Massachusetts. Shit, Smith & Wesson.
23:18
Testecleese: left Massachusetts. They've been there since, what, like, 1810 or something stupid?
23:26
Testecleese: Oh, my goodness. And, you know, masses are good, good, the guns are leaving, good, good. And it's like, yeah, I don't care if you like guns or not, do you know how much tax they were paying into the pot of Massachusetts?
23:37
Brian McFadden: None.
23:38
Testecleese: Not anymore now, but dear God, they were paying…
23:41
Testecleese: Billions of dollars a year in tax, because that's a globally sold firearm, you know?
23:48
Testecleese: I personally don't own one, because they're too expensive.
23:51
Testecleese: They might go down in price now, though, because Massachusetts is gonna make them en masse, I don't know.
23:57
Testecleese: Which, you know they won't, they're gonna keep the price the same and put more money in their,
24:02
Testecleese: Companies that make more money.
24:06
Testecleese: Alright, alright, where were we?
24:12
Testecleese: California? Oh, yeah. This is dumb. A California family.
24:18
Testecleese: is suing, the city for $40 million after a fatal stabbing outside of a library. Apparently, this guy had been released, like, hours before for something similar.
24:30
Testecleese: And went right out and stabbed and killed somebody. An old man.
24:36
Testecleese: Put that thing back in your pants, Brian.
24:38
Brian McFadden: Alright.
24:45
Testecleese: But there's no way they're gonna win against the city for their stupid liberal policies.
24:50
Brian McFadden: No.
24:51
Testecleese: You know, especially because that's the way everyone's voting there, and that's what they're willing to accept. They're willing to let you die.
24:58
Testecleese: to let bad guy get another chance, you know? It's like, well, how come I didn't get a chance?
25:05
Testecleese: And, dude, I'm getting more and more frustrated.
25:10
Testecleese: I, I am… this fucking closed dude to actually, registering Republican instead of Independent at this point.
25:17
Brian McFadden: Okay.
25:18
Testecleese: Oh, the Dems have lost their minds, man. They've lost the plot, they're off the reservation, whatever racist frickin' term you can think of, you know?
25:27
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
25:28
Testecleese: It's… like I said, they're defending
25:33
Testecleese: The people who threw bombs at people.
25:36
Testecleese: Because the people they threw bombs at were asking for it by saying mean things.
25:41
Testecleese: Meanwhile…
25:42
Brian McFadden: Horrible.
25:43
Testecleese: Well, yeah, meanwhile, they can call you a Nazi, and a fascist.
25:47
Testecleese: But you can't do shit about that. Apparently, if I'm offended enough, I'm allowed to kill people, and the people will get on my side.
25:53
Testecleese: You know?
25:56
Testecleese: We'll get there, we'll get there.
25:59
Testecleese: this… Emmanuel, Shalata.
26:04
Testecleese: He's a bishop out in California.
26:09
Testecleese: He's been arrested for stealing, church donations, something like 50 grand or something, or 10 grand.
26:14
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
26:15
Testecleese: And going to a cat house down in Mexico with this money.
26:21
Testecleese: I mean, I guess it's better than… Diddle and Alta Boys?
26:26
Brian McFadden: Nope.
26:27
Testecleese: But, come on, man.
26:30
Testecleese: You know? What the fuck?
26:34
Testecleese: And… oh. Did you see this, any of this California Marathon stuff?
26:39
Brian McFadden: No, I missed it.
26:41
Testecleese: Yeah, good.
26:42
Testecleese: I will say, I did like the finish.
26:46
Testecleese: this Kenyan guy was winning, you know, just gonna trot across the goal… the finish line, and an American gave that extra burst of juice.
26:55
Testecleese: Burnt right by him, won the marathon, then the canyon fell face down flat and passed out as he crossed for second.
27:01
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
27:02
Testecleese: Check this out.
27:03
Testecleese: California gave people a choice.
27:07
Testecleese: Just stop the race at mile 18 and take their medal and go home.
27:10
Brian McFadden: No, that's crazy.
27:11
Testecleese: They're like, how come they get to run less distance than everyone else and still get a medal?
27:16
Testecleese: This is the everyone gets a trophy mentality, isn't it?
27:22
Testecleese: Dear God!
27:24
Testecleese: How is California so… been so lucrative if these are the policies they have, that everybody… everybody wins?
27:34
Testecleese: Probably because they still have Reagan policies in place that are finally being undone, that's why everyone's leaving.
27:41
Testecleese: And again, it's all this shit we were just talking about, all these stupid things they've been doing that's causing all this stupid shit to happen. These people shouldn't be allowed to vote.
27:50
Testecleese: They're making terrible decisions, and…
27:53
Testecleese: What's going on with the SAVE Act? It looks like, for the most part, the Republicans have abandoned it.
27:59
Brian McFadden: In the Senate.
28:02
Brian McFadden: Nothing can move through the Senate without 51 vote… To close… stop the debate.
28:12
Testecleese: Okay.
28:13
Testecleese: From what I say, most Republicans have abandoned it, and Trump got pissed.
28:19
Testecleese: Now he's,
28:21
Testecleese: Well, he's threatening to not sign… yeah, he's… he's gonna reject all laws until the SAVE Act passes the Senate.
28:30
Testecleese: And since he did that, a Texas Republican,
28:35
Testecleese: Senator has, abandoned his filibuster stance to try to stop this from happening.
28:43
Testecleese: I just don't understand the logic
28:46
Testecleese: That these folks coming up with, like…
28:48
Brian McFadden: No.
28:49
Testecleese: Where do you register to vote, Brian?
28:52
Brian McFadden: At the registrar's office.
28:55
Testecleese: Which could be in a couple places, but…
28:58
Testecleese: Yeah. Most people do it at the DMV, right?
29:02
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
29:04
Brian McFadden: That was, motor voter law that they put in place, so…
29:07
Testecleese: Yeah, yeah.
29:08
Brian McFadden: Giving you that convenience to just add it to your license.
29:12
Testecleese: Exactly, you get there, you've got your ID,
29:14
Testecleese: Now you just check the box, register me to vote, too.
29:18
Brian McFadden: Yup.
29:20
Testecleese: And was it something like 79% of Democrats and, like, 91% of Republicans agree there should be some kind of identification to vote?
29:28
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
29:28
Testecleese: Makes you wonder why the leadership is so hell-bent against it, unless, of course, they know they're getting votes from people who shouldn't be voting.
29:38
Testecleese: What other reason would these folks have…
29:42
Testecleese: to say this, if their own constituents disagree with the leadership. But you know they're gonna vote him back into office, too, right?
29:51
Testecleese: Did you see Chuck Schumer say how this was going to,
29:55
Testecleese: what's the word I'm looking for here? Disenfranchise tens of billions of voters?
30:04
Testecleese: I'm gonna guess no, then.
30:05
Brian McFadden: No, I didn't, but I don't listen to a whole lot of Chuck Schumer, so…
30:09
Testecleese: Tens of billions! I'm gonna assume this is a misspeak, but that's more people than there are on the planet.
30:15
Testecleese: So, you know, tens of billions of people are on the voter rolls, maybe we do need to clean them up, right?
30:23
Testecleese: Alright.
30:25
Testecleese: Alright, let's… alright, let's get into the meat and the potatoes already, man, because that's,
30:30
Testecleese: Most of the, superfluous stuff we were gonna talk about.
30:35
Brian McFadden: Yep.
30:39
Testecleese: Oh, yeah, right.
30:41
Testecleese: the, ford had a fire in the Red Sea.
30:47
Testecleese: It's the largest aircraft carrier on the planet.
30:50
Brian McFadden: Yep.
30:51
Testecleese: And is… is this when Iran was claiming that they had hit one of our carriers?
30:55
Brian McFadden: I think so.
30:56
Testecleese: Or… okay. And it turned out to be, like, an electrical room fire or something?
31:01
Brian McFadden: That was what I guess, and when I started reading the article, it probably was electrical, so…
31:07
Testecleese: Fires happen on Navy ships, believe it or not.
31:10
Brian McFadden: Slowly train.
31:12
Testecleese: Yeah. That's why the entire crew is trained, and then… especially engineering, and in particular, repair division, right?
31:21
Testecleese: I say.
31:23
Testecleese: in particular, Pandivision, they're typically the guys in charge of the fire teams, like, the leadership of the damage control stuff, you know?
31:32
Testecleese: for the… not talking trash on what you did, because you had a… Different job altogether.
31:37
Testecleese: But you had no need to know how to be a scene leader, necessarily.
31:40
Brian McFadden: Right.
31:41
Testecleese: in a firefight. As long as you knew how to hold the hose or get on the comms, that was good enough for the fire team, right?
31:50
Testecleese: But yeah, I mean, I fought more than one fire in the Navy.
31:53
Testecleese: It happens, especially… Especially in dry dock.
32:00
Testecleese: I don't know how many times you were in dry dock.
32:03
Testecleese: But, all that welding, running electrical wire everywhere, it just… Shit happens, you know?
32:11
Testecleese: Which is why it's great to have a trained team.
32:16
Testecleese: Now, this next one here, dude, I just saw this. It's funny, because I actually saw it in the title of a podcast I'm going to be listening to after this is over. And I was like, what the fuck? And I went and googled it.
32:28
Testecleese: I guess, like, 6 hours ago, Trump just sent 5,000 Marines to Hormuz.
32:34
Brian McFadden: Yep.
32:37
Brian McFadden: I've been to Gibraltar, and that area, and…
32:40
Brian McFadden: There's not really room for 5,000 Marines.
32:45
Testecleese: Maybe not, but if they let these devil dogs off the leash, That's a real issue.
32:54
Testecleese: Versus how we did it in Afghanistan.
32:57
Brian McFadden: Right.
32:58
Testecleese: do it in Afghanistan, they get a bunch of Marines blowing up with IEDs and shot by 7-year-olds, right?
33:04
Testecleese: But if you let these guys go and say, there's the enemy.
33:08
Testecleese: I think what the last time we did that was Vietnam, maybe?
33:13
Testecleese: Dude, if you're that gassed, man, you could have said, let's do this tomorrow night.
33:17
Brian McFadden: Alright.
33:22
Testecleese: But yeah, third, and I love it. They're freaking out, like, oh, 13 troops have already died.
33:30
Testecleese: Yes, you're right, that is terrible. Any loss of life is tragic, even if it's a bad guy's life, let alone a good guy's life. But how many…
33:39
Testecleese: service members do we lose every year in training accidents. Here in the States.
33:45
Testecleese: Probably more than 13, right?
33:47
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
33:48
Testecleese: Wait, didn't we just talk about a helicopter that went down recently?
33:51
Testecleese: In, like, Nevada or something, that where, like, 6 died.
33:57
Brian McFadden: Yeah, I remember talking about it.
33:59
Testecleese: Yeah.
34:00
Testecleese: By the way, we lost, shit.
34:05
Testecleese: It's an Air Force aircraft, it's like…
34:08
Testecleese: the big bomber the Air Force uses this time.
34:11
Brian McFadden: one.
34:11
Testecleese: No, not the stealth… it's not a stealth setup, because we don't even need that anymore in Iran.
34:17
Testecleese: It's a… I wanna… I wanna say an A1C, but I'm pretty sure that's a cargo aircraft, isn't it?
34:24
Brian McFadden: No idea.
34:25
Testecleese: They haven't told us what happened yet, but one went down, it's in Iran.
34:30
Testecleese: They said we have, airmen on the ground, they can't communicate with them, and it…
34:35
Testecleese: The other aircraft managed to make it back.
34:38
Testecleese: to friendly land, and they won't tell us what happened. And they said it was not hit with enemy… a friendly fire or enemy fire, which makes me wonder if these idiots collided midair.
34:47
Brian McFadden: Right.
34:49
Testecleese: Possible, I don't know.
34:54
Testecleese: And oh.
34:55
Testecleese: Brian.
34:57
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
34:58
Testecleese: Have you ever had steak and lobster in the Navy?
35:01
Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, many times. Usually a sign that the deployment will continue.
35:06
Testecleese: Or, you're going into a combat zone, right?
35:08
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
35:10
Testecleese: Democrats are losing their shit over this, have you seen this?
35:13
Brian McFadden: All that, yeah.
35:15
Testecleese: Like, CNN was, like, going nuts.
35:17
Brian McFadden: It's been going on in the Navy for as long as I can remember, so…
35:21
Testecleese: Yeah, it's a tradition. It's like, you'll allow… you'll allow a frickin' death row convict who's raped and murdered 60 women
35:28
Testecleese: A fucking last meal. But you don't want to give it to our troops?
35:32
Testecleese: But these folks had no idea what they're talking about, they didn't bother to look this shit up. But CNN was like, oh, Pete Hegseth ordered, you know, $9 billion, or 9 million, whatever the fuck it was, dollars worth of steak and lobster and king crab legs. And…
35:45
Testecleese: The conservative guy on the panel was like, you think he sat down and ate this all by himself?
35:51
Brian McFadden: Right.
35:52
Testecleese: And the guy looked at him, he's like, what? You know this is for the troops, right? He's like, oh yeah, right, the troops are eating steak and lobster. And then he shows them a TikTok video of these guys scarfing it down, going, we going to war!
36:04
Testecleese: Yeah, I've had steak and lofts more than once under Obama, and nobody complained once.
36:10
Testecleese: I mean, it's supposed to raise morale before going into combat.
36:13
Brian McFadden: Right.
36:15
Testecleese: Or quell your anger, as they say, you'll be at sea for another three and a half months, you know?
36:23
Testecleese: But yeah, oh man, and I've seen so many videos online, people flipping out, and…
36:29
Testecleese: at first, I was wondering where… how did they possibly get the numbers of how much was spent on each item?
36:35
Testecleese: Without also finding out that this is a common thing.
36:40
Testecleese: I was like, these people are… Either, intentionally obtuse.
36:46
Testecleese: or they got their information from someone else who was intentionally obtuse. Then I found out it was fucking CNN, Kamala Harris' campaign website, which is still up.
36:55
Testecleese: And a whole bunch of other stuff like that. I'm like, they're putting out this information on purpose, and CNN had to come out and apologize.
37:01
Brian McFadden: Yep.
37:03
Testecleese: It's like, did you really think that the friggin' Secretary of War sat down with $9 million in fucking king crab legs and ate them for dinner?
37:11
Testecleese: Don't get me wrong, I understand Alaskan king crab ain't cheap.
37:14
Brian McFadden: But it ain't $9 billion a fucking plate, right? No.
37:19
Testecleese: And that probably went to, Marines and anyone who may be going in on the ground, I'm guessing.
37:25
Brian McFadden: You're good.
37:26
Brian McFadden: Come on!
37:28
Testecleese: Your sale is your, your… your pilots tend to get steak and lobster.
37:33
Testecleese: Because you're not necessarily getting fired directly at But…
37:40
Testecleese: Going into a war zone, you're engaging in combat, you could well be killed just as easily, you know?
37:44
Brian McFadden: Sure can.
37:47
Testecleese: Oh, shit. Well, yeah, we'll get to that very soon, but did you see the… the fires…
37:53
Testecleese: that happened when Iran hit some of these oil tankers.
37:56
Brian McFadden: And the bingo.
37:56
Testecleese: oil refinery in the Middle East.
37:59
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
38:00
Testecleese: Like, no survivors, there's no way anyone survived that, you know?
38:04
Testecleese: Jeez.
38:08
Testecleese: Yeah, okay, there you go, $9 million in crab legs and lobster in the months before the Iran war. So…
38:14
Testecleese: saw this coming, and I'm still not sure what I think
38:19
Testecleese: kicked this off, because first, was it, Ted Cruz came up… was Ted Cruz, right? Secretary of State?
38:25
Brian McFadden: Re- no.
38:26
Testecleese: Or is it Rubio?
38:27
Brian McFadden: Rubio.
38:29
Testecleese: Yeah, okay, I always… for some reason, I confuse the two, and I don't know why. Maybe because,
38:33
Testecleese: Neither one was born in this country.
38:35
Testecleese: Even though one technically is a naturally born citizen.
38:40
Testecleese: Said that… Israel said they were gonna strike.
38:46
Testecleese: And they knew what Iran's reaction was gonna be, and got involved instead of standing by and waiting.
38:52
Brian McFadden: Right.
38:53
Testecleese: But then the next day, he walked it back, so I'm not sure what's going on. You know what I mean? And I don't necessarily need to know, as the citizen, honestly.
39:02
Brian McFadden: Yes, Stern talking from Jesus.
39:07
Testecleese: Yeah. Well, that's the thing, is everyone wants to know exactly what's going on, like, you know, what are your plans next? It's like, we're gonna tell you so Iran knows? Are you fucking kidding me?
39:17
Brian McFadden: There's nowhere to go.
39:19
Brian McFadden: I mean…
39:23
Testecleese: Now, this is what's getting me here.
39:25
Testecleese: Okay, the Iran strikes have, disrupted the oil shipping to Russia and China, which…
39:31
Testecleese: we said this is good for Ukraine, with Russia having an issue With oil, right?
39:36
Brian McFadden: Yep.
39:38
Testecleese: But didn't Trump just come out and say that for, like, a couple days, the entire world go ahead and buy the sanctioned oil from Russia because of what's going on? I was like, that just undid the entire fucking point. Not the whole point, but…
39:50
Testecleese: undid any leverage you had against Russia.
39:52
Testecleese: By buying it directly from Russia, that just gives them money to build weapons.
40:00
Testecleese: Ugh.
40:02
Testecleese: Yeah, and then… yeah, Iran's warning that oil's gonna hit $200 a barrel.
40:11
Testecleese: I think before that happened, we would…
40:15
Testecleese: drill more, perhaps Alaska, even though we want to hang on to Alaska.
40:20
Testecleese: But, Trump went ahead and is releasing 172 million barrels from the strategic reserve that we have.
40:27
Testecleese: Right. And check this out, instead… instead of doing what Biden did to try to make it look like his policies didn't suck.
40:34
Testecleese: Because he just dumped it into the economy.
40:36
Testecleese: Trump is only allowing the military to use this.
40:41
Testecleese: Which I think is a great idea, that's what the whole fucking point of it is, but by the United States citizen not competing with
40:48
Testecleese: the military… For oil, it's gonna bring the price down, too, because there's less demand, you know?
40:56
Testecleese: Oh, boy.
40:57
Brian McFadden: I'm here.
41:00
Testecleese: Yeah. Yeah, and now… Jesus Christ. Iran's threatening retaliatory strikes, on oil facilities across the entire Gulf. They've already done it.
41:09
Testecleese: -Oh. Did I freeze, or did Brian freeze?
41:15
Testecleese: Well, I'm gonna keep talking as if, I didn't freeze and Brian is, even though he's the one running the show.
41:21
Testecleese: But yeah, they've already blown all this shit up.
41:24
Testecleese: They've hit the largest oil refinery in the Middle East.
41:27
Testecleese: And we had a lot of people on CNN and MS Now saying that,
41:32
Testecleese: the entire Middle East wants Trump to stop, because it's causing all of this, this reaction.
41:39
Testecleese: And it turns out that's actually the exact opposite. The Sultan of Saudi Arabia said he's getting involved now, after they bombed Saudi Arabia. Friggin' UAE's getting involved, because they bombed the UAE, and looks like I'm the only one here now, so that's terrific. I have no idea how to do any of this.
41:56
Testecleese: Oh, Brian's coming back, so maybe.
41:58
Brian McFadden: The internet, my internet crashed for a second.
42:01
Testecleese: I don't know how to give you back host.
42:05
Brian McFadden: I hope it's still recording, I don't know, I just kept talking. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, it was recording, I sent it to the cloud, so it would have kept recording, so…
42:12
Testecleese: I was like, I don't know what's going on, I'm just gonna keep going just in case.
42:15
Testecleese: But I was just saying how,
42:18
Testecleese: CNN, all these guys were talking about how the entire Middle East is telling Trump to stop because of what's going on.
42:23
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
42:24
Testecleese: Meanwhile, the UAE and Saudi Arabia have both joined the, the conflict?
42:28
Brian McFadden: Right.
42:29
Testecleese: Israel was already involved. China, did a non-answer when asked about it, actually. They're like, oh, we would prefer you guys don't get involved, we're not getting involved, you know?
42:43
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
42:43
Testecleese: I thought Iran's safety net was supposed to be China and Russia.
42:47
Brian McFadden: No, they're not doing… they're not… they're done.
42:49
Testecleese: Yeah, Russia's too busy as it is, right?
42:53
Testecleese: And China knows what's gonna happen if they try to stop supplying weapons to Iran.
42:58
Testecleese: Which… was the same argument we brought up about the United States supplying weapons to Ukraine, wasn't it?
43:04
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
43:05
Testecleese: It's like, how long is this gonna happen before Russia says, you got to stop this shit, you know what I mean?
43:12
Testecleese: But… You shared this article, I cannot open it, because I guess I don't have an Apple account.
43:17
Testecleese: Iran's not seeking a ceasefire.
43:20
Brian McFadden: Yeah, yep.
43:21
Testecleese: Is there more to it, or is that… is the headline…
43:24
Brian McFadden: That's pretty much the whole gist of it, you know, so there's…
43:27
Brian McFadden: We're gonna fight to the end.
43:30
Testecleese: Yeah, well, the Supreme Leader that took place After the initial strikes, I think he's dead.
43:37
Brian McFadden: But, he's at least an…
43:39
Testecleese: Homar, right?
43:41
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
43:46
Testecleese: I don't know.
43:48
Testecleese: How long… if Trump actually wants the Irani people to step up and take over their own government.
43:54
Testecleese: How long can you continue to drop ordnance?
43:57
Testecleese: Before you allow these people to do it.
44:02
Testecleese: You know?
44:03
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
44:04
Testecleese: I just know I'm not going over there to help take over the government if another bomb might fall out of the sky at any minute.
44:09
Brian McFadden: Huh.
44:10
Testecleese: I guess we were hitting 5,000 targets a day since this thing started?
44:14
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
44:14
Testecleese: We've wiped out their entire Navy, we've wiped out their entire Air Force. All they have now is suicide drones, right?
44:21
Testecleese: Like, these kamikaze drones?
44:23
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
44:28
Testecleese: Where are at.
44:30
Testecleese: Oh, yeah, I think this is a mistake.
44:33
Testecleese: Iran is saying now that they're,
44:36
Testecleese: They're only going to attach, 1-ton payloads.
44:41
Testecleese: On their warheads.
44:46
Testecleese: Oh, yeah, dang it, I thought I couldn't do that. Yeah, they're only attaching one-ton payloads on the warheads, which is,
44:53
Testecleese: The one that hit Tel Aviv and wiped out, like, an entire.
44:56
Testecleese: It was way less than a ton.
44:59
Testecleese: And… makes me wonder if they've used up everything else they have, if they're.
45:03
Brian McFadden: Right.
45:03
Testecleese: These big ones, he goes, Why would you say something like that?
45:08
Brian McFadden: You know?
45:10
Testecleese: You bet.
45:11
Testecleese: Oh, we're gonna scare the crap out of you, for the love of God, dude.
45:16
Testecleese: Like, half the countries involved in this conflict right now could turn,
45:20
Testecleese: Iran into a sheet of glass.
45:23
Testecleese: Oh, there's mountains. Yeah, yeah, yeah, mountains are difficult, you're right.
45:28
Testecleese: But when you have the most advanced aircrafts on the planet, You know?
45:33
Testecleese: It… Fuck. What, we hit a bunker, like, 2 miles underground and blew it up?
45:40
Testecleese: Yeah. What was the 18-day war, he called, or something like that?
45:45
Brian McFadden: Yup.
45:46
Testecleese: Jesus Christ, Brian, you just keep opening and closing shit, don't you?
45:49
Brian McFadden: I don't know where the… what's going on. Where are we?
45:51
Testecleese: We're in war.
45:52
Brian McFadden: Alright.
45:54
Testecleese: We've moved down to oil.
45:59
Testecleese: Alright.
46:02
Testecleese: Here we go. Oh, shit!
46:05
Testecleese: Iran's putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz?
46:09
Testecleese: If you close the war tab, it brings… closes all the mini.
46:11
Brian McFadden: That's hard on it.
46:12
Testecleese: Right.
46:14
Brian McFadden: That's what they're saying. That's why we bombed all their…
46:19
Brian McFadden: They're, they're mining ships with.
46:23
Testecleese: Yeah, they're mine layers.
46:25
Testecleese: So, do we believe they actually did this or not?
46:32
Brian McFadden: I don't think they did it.
46:34
Testecleese: I don't think so either, because…
46:38
Testecleese: Trump had… we still have all of our mine-destroying vessels stateside. We actually brought them home.
46:46
Testecleese: So I just… I don't believe… That this happened,
46:52
Testecleese: I don't know, I just, I don't…
46:56
Testecleese: Don't know what else to say about that, you know what I mean?
46:59
Brian McFadden: That would bring more countries into this conflict, if they actually did that.
47:04
Testecleese: Well, shit, they've already been sinking…
47:06
Testecleese: ships coming through the Strait of Hormuz for…
47:10
Testecleese: Decades at this point, every time they get upset, right?
47:13
Brian McFadden: Are they gonna do that if an Aegis cruiser is escorting the tankers through?
47:19
Testecleese: Fucking age of screws are, dude!
47:20
Testecleese: We've got 3 aircraft carriers there now.
47:24
Brian McFadden: Yo.
47:24
Testecleese: I sent the Bernhomer Shard.
47:26
Brian McFadden: They're shooting them down with missiles, the best thing to put with them is not a carrier, it's a cruiser.
47:30
Testecleese: It's an Aegis. It's an Aegis system, yes. The carrier, you send…
47:34
Testecleese: several miles back, and you watch the aircraft to blow up, which sent the missiles to… Yeah, yeah, exactly.
47:41
Testecleese: But yeah, one strike group should be able to wipe out anything they have out there, let alone…
47:46
Testecleese: Three, I have no idea what a French carrier strike group looks like.
47:51
Testecleese: Not even a guest.
47:52
Brian McFadden: Right.
47:54
Testecleese: let's be real, how many carriers does France have? Do they send a third of their carriers?
47:59
Brian McFadden: I don't know.
48:00
Testecleese: I mean, cause… The United States has more carriers than the rest of the world combined, right?
48:09
Testecleese: Yeah, France is involved, dude!
48:13
Testecleese: France doesn't do shit, historically.
48:17
Testecleese: Not picking on the French, necessarily, but they're kind of known for not getting involved, and then once it hits their shores, they go, oh, shit!
48:25
Brian McFadden: They sent their only aircraft carriers.
48:27
Testecleese: ONLY.
48:29
Brian McFadden: I have one.
48:31
Testecleese: There you go. So yeah, these guys are all ready for World War III, aren't they?
48:35
Brian McFadden: I had trouble.
48:36
Testecleese: No wonder why Trump was bitchin' about these guys not putting in their fucking fair share into this.
48:40
Brian McFadden: They are planning a next-generation carrier to replace it.
48:44
Testecleese: Replays it, Replace it, keep it, and put another one in the fleet, right?
48:50
Brian McFadden: Yep.
48:51
Testecleese: One! Okay, so war breaks out, we sink, that one gets sunk, now what are you gonna do? You gonna spend 5 years building a new one?
48:57
Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
48:59
Testecleese: Do people realize you don't pop these things out like fucking cars in a day or two?
49:05
Brian McFadden: Hmm, how long…
49:06
Testecleese: How long did it take the United States to get to the point where they were popping out, like, a ship a day, on average, during World War II? It took them, like, halfway through the war, right?
49:14
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
49:14
Testecleese: Because they converted EVERYTHING into building war stuff.
49:19
Brian McFadden: Yep. Assembly line style.
49:21
Testecleese: Henry Ford would have been proud.
49:23
Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
49:26
Testecleese: I don't know how Cary Lake got down there, that's interesting.
49:32
Brian McFadden: I don't know either.
49:32
Testecleese: Yeah, there you go, the Minesweepers are sitting in Philadelphia right now.
49:37
Testecleese: Quick question, Brian.
49:40
Testecleese: How much coastline does Pennsylvania have?
49:43
Brian McFadden: None.
49:45
Testecleese: How did you get a minesweeper into Philadelphia?
49:48
Brian McFadden: Down the river.
49:52
Testecleese: So why would you keep him in Pennsylvania?
49:58
Brian McFadden: Initially, no, Pennsylvania does have some coastline for… Philadelphia's on the coast.
50:06
Brian McFadden: They've got up.
50:07
Brian McFadden: A, shipyard in Pennsylvania.
50:10
Testecleese: I'm gonna have to look at a map again. I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just…
50:13
Testecleese: I'm just seeing Virginia, North Carolina, so it's north of Virginia?
50:18
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
50:19
Testecleese: I thought New Jersey was right there for some reason.
50:22
Testecleese: I could have sworn I went from Norfolk to Massachusetts without going through Pennsylvania.
50:29
Testecleese: Maybe not.
50:31
Testecleese: It's entirely possible. I mean… It's been a long time since I've looked at a…
50:36
Testecleese: a map of the U.S. coastline, which is nuts, because I can tell you where Hormuz is, the Strait of Hormuz is, and what it connects, and, you know…
50:45
Brian McFadden: The Philadelphia Naval Shipyard was first… the first United States Naval Shipyard, and was historically important for nearly two centuries.
50:54
Testecleese: Yeah, so is it actually on the ocean, though, or do they, like you said, do they float it down the river like,
50:59
Testecleese: like, when we built our first submarines in the Great Lakes.
51:06
Testecleese: Now I just feel dumb. The beer, man, the beer slows everything down, you know?
51:13
Brian McFadden: I think it's right on the water, though.
51:15
Testecleese: Maybe. I just go to Swan, I went from…
51:17
Testecleese: Pennsylvania… not Pennsylvania… Virginia to Maryland, to Jersey, to New York, to, rhode Island to Massachusetts.
51:32
Testecleese: Maybe not, maybe I just didn't… wasn't paying attention, because I just stayed on 95 the whole way, you know what I mean?
51:39
Brian McFadden: The shipyard was established in 1776,
51:42
Brian McFadden: Played a crucial role in shipbuilding and repair for nearly two centuries. After that, it closed in the 1990s, and the site was redeveloped into a mixed-use campus.
51:52
Brian McFadden: The Navy Yard, now home to over 120 companies and nearly 15,000 employees.
51:59
Testecleese: Yeah, so… Might be a mothball fleet sitting there or something, huh?
52:03
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
52:04
Testecleese: Alright.
52:09
Testecleese: The Israeli military has confirmed that drone attacks, launched were from… that targeted Israel from Iraq… Iraq.
52:19
Testecleese: Is this just an attack of opportunity to come from Iraq?
52:23
Testecleese: Not Iran?
52:25
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
52:27
Brian McFadden: I don't think Iran has anything to attack with anymore.
52:30
Testecleese: They got their missiles.
52:32
Testecleese: But they're gonna… they're gonna run out soon, aren't they?
52:34
Brian McFadden: They got their Chinese missiles, and we're getting to see how good the Chinese technology is.
52:41
Testecleese: Apparently, it's decent enough to hit some targets, but the problem is they're not even necessarily attacking military…
52:48
Testecleese: hitting military targets. They're attacking… they're hitting, like, civilian houses and stuff, and, like, apartment buildings.
52:55
Testecleese: So, is it them targeting households, or are these missiles just garbage?
53:00
Brian McFadden: I think the missiles are garbage.
53:02
Testecleese: Think so, too.
53:04
Testecleese: in a… read somewhere the United States took blame
53:08
Testecleese: For that school that blew up?
53:10
Testecleese: But I haven't heard anything official from the White House or the Pentagon.
53:15
Testecleese: Because the videos I saw made it look like it took off from Iran, went up about, you know, 300 yards in the air.
53:24
Testecleese: Fizzled out, came straight back down, and detonated when it hit the ground.
53:28
Brian McFadden: Right.
53:32
Testecleese: Here we go.
53:34
Testecleese: Our Oslo, emb… is it… is it the embassy? Yeah, it's the embassy. Yeah, the embassy.
53:42
Testecleese: And Oslo is Norway, right?
53:44
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
53:45
Testecleese: Was attacked with, by terrorists.
53:48
Testecleese: Well, Norway said it might have been terrorists, and apparently 3 brothers have been arrested for the bombing in Oslo, between the Norwegian and the American authorities working together on this one.
54:03
Testecleese: Who's going to get jurisdiction on this one? Is the United States going to get jurisdiction?
54:08
Testecleese: It's sovereign American soil.
54:09
Brian McFadden: Should.
54:10
Brian McFadden: Should be the MBI.
54:13
Testecleese: Yeah, that's gonna be, capital punishment, you know that, right?
54:20
Brian McFadden: Yep.
54:20
Testecleese: If convicted.
54:22
Brian McFadden: Definitely.
54:24
Testecleese: Problem is… Yeah, I say problem.
54:27
Testecleese: I'm typically against the death penalty, because who gets to decide who… you know, who do you… who in the government do you trust to make these decisions, right?
54:35
Testecleese: But, I mean, look at… the Boston Bomber is still sitting in.
54:40
Brian McFadden: Brazil.
54:41
Testecleese: Yeah, awaiting his death sentence after he killed his brother and a bunch… wait, killed an 8-year-old in Boston, right?
54:47
Brian McFadden: Brew another guy's leg off.
54:52
Testecleese: Alright.
54:53
Brian McFadden: Exactly.
54:54
Testecleese: Yeah.
54:55
Testecleese: Speaking of… two… I think they're brothers, no, they're not brothers. Two dudes from Pennsylvania.
55:02
Testecleese: Okay. Did you see the headlines about this New York thing that came out?
55:06
Brian McFadden: Huh.
55:07
Testecleese: They made it sound like… The protesters threw bombs at the mayor's mansion.
55:15
Testecleese: And that's not what happened at all. People were protesting, radical Islam, and that, obviously, they're instantly white supremacists. Yup. And then two radical Islamists show up and chuck
55:25
Testecleese: TATP bombs.
55:28
Testecleese: Tatp works similar to nitroglycerin in terms of, impact can make it detonate, you know.
55:34
Brian McFadden: Right.
55:35
Testecleese: primer or fuse, necessarily.
55:38
Testecleese: Thank God these guys don't know what they're doing, because they were fooling nails, screws, bolts… Nuts, everything.
55:47
Testecleese: Yeah, and then the next day.
55:49
Testecleese: the mayor has a former ISIS member who had been convicted of ISIS crimes into the White House bitching about the white supremacists who got attacked.
55:59
Brian McFadden: It's like, you're more offended by what these guys said.
56:02
Testecleese: And they were talking about radical Islamists, like, stop blowing people up because you don't like what they say, and then someone chucks bombs at them, like, they should've… they were asking for it.
56:11
Testecleese: Fuck you! If that's… if they were asking for it as an argument, then dear God, stop bringing up all this bullshit about a woman wearing a miniskirt in an alley at 2AM. She's gonna get raped, she was asking for it, right?
56:24
Brian McFadden: Right.
56:26
Testecleese: It's the same argument, and I swear to God I've heard a million times it's not her fault.
56:31
Testecleese: You know, teach, teach men not to rape. How about you teach fucking jihadists not to blow up fucking citizens?
56:38
Brian McFadden: Right.
56:40
Testecleese: By the way, I'd just like to point out, we've all heard Religion of Peace.
56:44
Testecleese: Yup. Do you know what… do you know who coined that phrase?
56:48
Brian McFadden: I don't know.
56:49
Testecleese: Bush Sr, after 9-11.
56:52
Testecleese: When he said, don't go pulling people out of their cabs and beating them in the streets, because it's a religion of peace.
56:57
Testecleese: Nowhere I mean, there are sects that are peaceful, but…
57:02
Brian McFadden: You know, never admit.
57:03
Testecleese: Nowhere in the Holy Christian Bible does it say that anyone who doesn't worship Jesus is below you, and you get forced to pay tribute to simply exist, and you can kill them because they're bad. Fucking Iran's, charter
57:18
Testecleese: It says right in there that the world will never be right until all the Jews have been exterminated. The trees will whisper, if there's a Jew behind me, come kill him.
57:28
Testecleese: But I'm the bad guy for reading their own fucking doctrine out loud, you know?
57:33
Brian McFadden: Yep.
57:35
Testecleese: Criminally.
57:38
Testecleese: And this says the NY police officers have been praised as heroes for capturing these bombers.
57:44
Brian McFadden: But Madani didn't acknowledge them doing it.
57:48
Testecleese: No.
57:48
Brian McFadden: You didn't say anything about it.
57:50
Testecleese: No, and I haven't heard anyone say anything about this except…
57:54
Testecleese: People on the internet like you and me. I haven't even seen it on Fox News saying these guys are heroes.
57:59
Brian McFadden: Right.
58:01
Testecleese: Frickin' cop jumped over the barricade, charged out, and tackled one of these guys.
58:08
Testecleese: Come on, man. Dude's chucking bombs, and you're charging at him? Good for you.
58:13
Brian McFadden: Yeah. And…
58:14
Testecleese: Let's be real, probably the only reason why that guy didn't get shot was because there were other civilians near him.
58:20
Testecleese: And the cop didn't want to hit someone else by accident.
58:23
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
58:23
Testecleese: So, let's all take a moment here and appreciate police restraint and making sure they get the right guy, because no one ever gives cops praise for doing the right thing.
58:32
Testecleese: We only ever hear about them screwing up.
58:35
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
58:37
Testecleese: Just like now, you know, you know, the body cams they demanded that all cops carry? I call them all the time?
58:43
Testecleese: They're racist now, you know.
58:45
Brian McFadden: No, I didn't know that.
58:46
Testecleese: Yeah, they should be undone, no cops should have one anymore, because it's racist, because it makes it look like these black people are attacking the cops.
58:55
Testecleese: I was like, well, is that because they did?
58:58
Testecleese: You know?
59:00
Testecleese: Like, now you can't just take this guy's word for it, this video.
59:04
Testecleese: Oops! They genuinely thought that this stuff wasn't happening.
59:08
Testecleese: I guess.
59:10
Testecleese: Or maybe they thought the body cams would never happen, they'd have an argument to bring up forever, you know?
59:18
Testecleese: Oh, yeah, there's the ODU shooting that you,
59:22
Testecleese: Yeah, Mom, Don, yeah, exactly. He brought an anti-Israel activist in instead of, the cops that, stopped this attack.
59:34
Testecleese: It's, I don't know, are we gonna… I don't think there's any more to find out about this,
59:40
Testecleese: ODU shooting, by the way.
59:42
Brian McFadden: No, most of our… He was.
59:46
Testecleese: Lebanese.
59:46
Brian McFadden: He was, yeah, but he was already arrested for terrorist activities.
59:52
Testecleese: Yeah, and then let… then let out, and allow.
59:54
Brian McFadden: And he definitely said Aluat Bar.
59:59
Testecleese: At least I don't want the guy join the fucking guard, Virginia!
1:00:05
Testecleese: Trimony, the weapons you gave him access to. Thank God he wasn't trained better with different weaponry than a rifle, right?
1:00:13
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:00:17
Testecleese: Oh! Oh, okay, I'm sorry.
1:00:20
Brian McFadden: He wasn't Lebanese, he was something else.
1:00:23
Testecleese: the dude in Michigan.
1:00:27
Testecleese: is Lebanese.
1:00:29
Brian McFadden: Okay.
1:00:30
Testecleese: and his family or something was killed when Israel, Israel, Bombed.
1:00:37
Testecleese: Iran.
1:00:39
Testecleese: So he… drove his vehicle through a synagogue in Michigan.
1:00:43
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:00:44
Testecleese: So, Israel and Jews are the same. We've been told it's not, but we keep treating them like they're the same, right?
1:00:52
Brian McFadden: Right.
1:00:52
Testecleese: Just like, what, Harvard University? Friggin', all these other schools, they were attacking Jewish students because of Israel.
1:00:59
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:01:01
Testecleese: And then they tell us Israel and Jews aren't the same. It's like, well, then stop treating them the fucking same. Yeah, you can criticize the Israeli government, that's fine. But how come you're allowed to criticize Judaism and Christianity, but I'm not allowed to say, what the fuck is going on in Islam?
1:01:14
Brian McFadden: Nope.
1:01:15
Testecleese: And that's the difference, is you have, what, two major sects of Islamism?
1:01:20
Testecleese: it is, your Shiites and your Sunnis, typically, right?
1:01:22
Brian McFadden: They're usually fighting each other.
1:01:25
Testecleese: Yeah, one of them is incredibly dangerous, like the…
1:01:30
Testecleese: We're, superior people on the planet.
1:01:33
Testecleese: And the other one just wants to worship God.
1:01:36
Testecleese: and be left alone. They'll wave to you on your way to church and say, you know, enjoy worshiping Jesus. And the other sect, I can't remember which one is which, will blow your fucking church up.
1:01:47
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:01:50
Testecleese: But you're not allowed to bring any of this up.
1:01:52
Brian McFadden: No.
1:01:54
Testecleese: Baffling to me.
1:01:56
Testecleese: that… Reading out loud what actually happened is more offensive.
1:02:01
Testecleese: Than what actually happened.
1:02:05
Brian McFadden: Yep.
1:02:06
Testecleese: Anyway… Not a lot to talk about tonight. That was pretty much it. Anything…
1:02:13
Testecleese: You wanna bring up, talk about in general?
1:02:17
Brian McFadden: Hmm… No.
1:02:20
Brian McFadden: I think we covered it all.
1:02:22
Testecleese: Yeah, alright, yeah, like I said, it was all… basically, all the news coverage is what's going on in Iran.
1:02:29
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:02:29
Testecleese: And it seems that… Not even your average liberal, but the news agencies.
1:02:39
Testecleese: And the people in charge of the party would rather see Iran win, and… kill everybody.
1:02:47
Testecleese: than Trump win.
1:02:50
Testecleese: Oh, I will bring up… ABC put out…
1:02:54
Testecleese: that the White House told California that to expect a drone attack
1:02:58
Testecleese: from Iran, and the first thing I thought was, why would they go to California that's as far away from them as they can possibly get on the planet?
1:03:08
Testecleese: Turns out that never happened. These folks were just trying to stir up panic and get them angry at Trump.
1:03:13
Testecleese: They had to issue a retraction and apologize.
1:03:17
Testecleese: Or else they would have got hit with a defamation per se suit, which per se means you knew it was wrong, you weren't just misinformed, you did it on purpose to make someone look bad.
1:03:26
Brian McFadden: Yeah.
1:03:28
Testecleese: But… That's our shit?
1:03:31
Audio shared by Testecleese: Yep.
1:03:34
Audio shared by Testecleese: Short show.
1:03:37
Audio shared by Testecleese: I expected this to go longer, but when I was done compiling it, it was only 2 pages. So…
1:03:43
Testecleese: That's what we get?
1:03:44
Audio shared by Testecleese: Nope.
1:03:46
Audio shared by Testecleese: Finch this one off.
