• 0:29
  Speaker 2: to get these podcasts up here, and for those of
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: you who are regular listeners, I want to just let
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: you know that you know I'm producing, editing, finding all
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the clips. It's midnight on a Tuesday and that's when
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I'm recording, So I promise you. I want nothing more
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: than to tell you how much everyone's pissing me off.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: But sometimes it's hard to get here at the end
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: of a.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Really long day.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So having said that, let's talk about the dumbest person
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: of today. Super special person is Governor Tim Walls of Minnesota.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: You might remember him.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: He tried to pretend to be vice president for like
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: three seconds with Kamala Harris, which was truly the blind
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: leading the blind in that campaign, so his appointed Director
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of Natural Resources, Sarah Strawman. They drained a lake after
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: they accidentally left a valve open, and now it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Is a field of dead fish.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: She was just celebrated as the first woman to lead
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the Department of Natural Resources in Minnesota. You stupid, stupid, stupid,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: stupid woman. These are the people who are so concerned
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: about the fact that they were born as a woman,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and this deibs that they literally can't do their job.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: She drained a lake. She's the director of natural Resources.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It's truly the antithesis of being good at your job.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: She's actually so bad at her job that she killed
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: an entire lake of fish. So I think that we
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: should celebrate her firing. I think she should go like
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: five minutes ago, and whoever is the best person for
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the job maybe should get it back.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: And maybe we should.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Stop hiring people because they're women, or they're black, or
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: they're Asian, or they're Indian or they're whatever. I am
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: so sick of that shit. It is so irritating to me.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Why can't I like you and hate you just because
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: of who you are as opposed to what you look like.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: What a crack of shit you don't mean people I
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: know that I don't like, and it has nothing to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: do with the color of their skin. It has nothing
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to do with whether they're a man or a woman.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It just means you're an asshole, that's all. It is
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: a very simple thing. I mean, it's really gotten to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a special place where it's like, oh, look, we all
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: think alike and we can hang out and yeah, I mean.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Sure, birds of a feather, right.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I think that that cliche exists for a reason without question.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: But sometimes there are definitely people in the group where
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you're like, bro, no, you're really dumb, like you're bringing
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: down the average.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: You got to go. In this case, she's got to go.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And you know what's funny is that I have no
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: doubt in the coming days she'll have like a really
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: good reason why this happened and it won't be her fault,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: which is even worse because you know, the sign of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a good leader is somebody who can make a culpe
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of the moment, you know, for your team, like listen,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the buck stops with me, all those sorts of things,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and instead, now we've got a situation with this yo yo,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: where we're talking about how excited we are that she's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a woman. Hi, if you're a woman, maybe you could
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: learn how to put the cap back on, just saying,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you know, simple things, little things, you know, just thinking
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: out loud.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: And now we're.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Upset that Trump is federalizing DC. Yeah, Trump is making
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the right decision. We are at a place right now
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: where we have over a hundred one hundred deaths in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: DC already this month.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Really, is that where we're at. That's what's going on.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: These people are insane.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: They think for one second that they have a right
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to somehow say that this isn't needed or is it necessary.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: People are afraid to go out of their houses. We've
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: got carjackings, we've got extreme, extreme homelessness, we've got encampments.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you something, DC is not alone.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: This is happening all over the country, all over the world,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and it all has one common theme. Do you know
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: what the theme is, Well, there's probably two themes. There's
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: this ridiculous, an incestuous amount of migration, all of it illegal,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: all of it from third world of countries and Islamic
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: countries that could give a shit less about Western culture,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and all of it is liberal leadership. Because you see
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: liberal leadership has one thing on the agenda and one
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: thing only power. They want power, They want to keep
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: their power, and they want to make sure that they
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: have you under thumb. The problem is they're so busy
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: trying to keep their power that they're losing everything around them.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: When you burn everything around you, what do you have
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: left to govern? I mean, honestly, I always say that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to people when they say, oh, I can't believe that
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you're getting so upset.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I can't believe that you're outraged by X, Y and Z.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Well, how would you feel if it was your mother's son,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: child whatever. That's what I do whenever I'm trying to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: think of something and I'm trying to understand how someone
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: else is feeling, or put myself in their shoes when
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: someone is reacting or they're freaking out, that's when I
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: have that moment and I say, you know what, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: get it because if someone came over to my child,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: if someone came over to my husband, if someone came
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: over to my mom and did any sort of I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: don't know, extremist behavior like shove them, try to rob them,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: slash them, whatever it is, nothing could stop me from
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: taking care of that person. Myself with my bare hands.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And that's another problem too. Number one, not enough people
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: know how to defend themselves. Please take a self defense class.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Go out, learn how to use a firearm and protect
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: your home. Learn how to use your hands when you're
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: out in public and you can't have your firearm if
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you don't have a concealed carry, or if you're somewhere
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: where it's not allowed. And last, but not least, get
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: off your damn cell phone. What are you looking at?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Have you not spent enough time gazing down? Look at
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: your neck? You have tech neck. It looks bad. Take
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a break, touch grass.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Look up.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: This is a massive issue in our culture. There is
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: nothing on that phone that is more important than your life.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: But I see it every day. See people on the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: subway looking down. They're not paying attention, and then they
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: get shoved on the tracks. And you're like, I don't
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: know how that happened.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Oh really, I do.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I'm looking around, I'm looking really close actually, and I'm
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: watching people asleep.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: At the switch.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: This is the issue, and that's why Trump is saying
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: it's not right. Number One, there's a ton of people
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: dosing people and giving out the addresses of officials and
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: senators and and radio and.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: TV hosts and all sorts of things.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Right, So that's that's wrong, because you should be able
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: to do your job and feel safe and all the things.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: But in addition to that, they're fire bombing their homes,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: They're fire bombing their cars, you know. There there they're
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: shootouts all over the place. And these are young people.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And for all of this bullshit about how we care
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: about the minorities in this country, the amount of black
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: kids that I saw that were killed in the DC
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: metro area in the last I don't know, six months,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: it's frightening, and it's a really you know, there's there's
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: this sort of.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: This underlying, this underlying issue.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And I work on another show with some friends and
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: it's all about reaching inner city youth and it's hosted
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: by a bunch of really great guys and they work
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: with you know, the police Athletic League and other groups
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: like this. And one of the things that they always
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: point out is, you know, we got these fatherless homes.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: We have these cycles of abuse of.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: The government as system programs, whether it's welfare, food stamps, housing,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, and they encourage you to have more
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: kids more families, because the more kids you have, the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: bigger your family is, the bigger the space you need,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the more stamps you need, the less time you have
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: to work, obviously because youve got to take care of
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: your kids. But you're not having you don't have a
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: family structure. You're having kids because you're trying to dupe
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the system. It's just not a way of life that
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: we should be supporting. And I really do appreciate now
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: that President Trump is doing different things, like taking all
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of the funding away from groups and organizations that promote
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and fund things that have nothing to do with the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: American dream, have nothing to do with a government that
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: wants to help its people when they're down on their luck.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: There's down on there's down on your luck, and then
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: making your own luck. And there's a huge difference. And
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: it's it's a long standing problem since you know, the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: seventies and the abuse of the system. And today you know,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: we're moving the homeless out of d C. And people
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: are saying, I heard this one guy and he goes,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: where do you want us to go?
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: And what do you want us to do?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And I thought, you know what, it's a really interesting
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: point because Muriel Bowser, who is.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: The mayor of DC.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: You know, she's made a lot of mistakes, and there's
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: no question, and she's got, you know, a black chief
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of police and a black chief of staff, and you
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: know they're doing all of these hires and it's all
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: about you know, diversity and equity and inclusion and all
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the things. But your city's a hot mess, and these
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: people that are leading these divisions of your government are
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: doing a really bad job and everyone is paying the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: price for it. At some point, there's got to be
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: an understanding of the fact that you have made this
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: massive mistake and now the National Guard needs to come
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: in and help you police your city because two things. One,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: you called yourself a sanctuary city in twenty seventeen when
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: we tried to do different things to protect the you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the DC state. And two, now that you have so
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: many illegal immigrants in your city, you don't have space,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: you don't have housing for people that are American citizens.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And now, whether they fell on hard times, whether you
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: know the mental institution that they were housed and closed,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: whether they you know, had a bad accident and can't
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: afford the medical bills and it bankrupted.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Them, whatever it is.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: But these are the things, these are the issues that
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: these people are facing. So when you say, well, I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: don't know where we're going to put them, and I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: don't know what we're going to do, and I don't
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: know what Trump's solution is, I know what.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: The solution is.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Get the illegal immigrants out of all of the housing,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: get the illegal immigrants out of all the low income housing,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Get the illegal immigrants out of our country, and then
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: we will have the funds, the resources, and the housing
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: to take care of our homeless and are mentally unstable.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: That's what we need to do.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: And instead you making this grand standing thing this is
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: our state, We're here to protect it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: No you're not.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: People are getting murdered and carjacked and raped and stabbed.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I mean literally every day. It's not like once in
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a while, it's all the time. What are you doing?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And now you want to say it's Trump's fault. You
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: want to hire protesters because you don't have enough people there.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Even the protesters are afraid to go to DC.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: They don't want to be protesting at night. They're afraid
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: to get shot, mug jumped. This is a this is
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: a serious issue. I am sincere about this. It's all
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: over the country. And there's another major problem that I
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: see and I just saw it tonight too on x
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Is everybody is filming these horrific scenes where people are
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: getting grabbed, raped, beaten, held down, children, adults. You know,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: it doesn't matter.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the trigger is and what is
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: going on, but I can tell you one thing.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: It's not good. It's just not good.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And the idea that we think that we can fix
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: this without some sort of federal intervention is kind of silly.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: We're past that point. We need the help, and we
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: need to have some sort of moral clarity, and I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: don't know how the hell to get it. I'll tell
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: you that because there's definitely not enough people in church.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: We need more God in the house, we need more
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: families as a unit, we need more God in school.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: And I don't even care if it's denominational. I just
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: wanted to be hey, guys, there's a higher power they're
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: looking over you. Please try to do the right thing.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe you don't know the Ten commandments, but
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: there's got to be some part.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Of you that knows. Hm.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe I shouldn't totally beat the shit out of this
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: stranger and ask my friend to film it. It's probably
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: not a good idea. And that's really I mean, I'm
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: not even kidding. That's missing. I saw this little girl
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: today in New Zealand. You know, young Arab kid comes up,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: starts to call her all kinds of names and starts
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: to beat her up. Somebody starts filming it because the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: little girl kicked his ass, God bless her. But the
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: idea that there was a bunch of other little kids
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: standing around.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: None of them jumped in to.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Help the little girl. They let the little boy try
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and hurt her. She's in her school uniform, her little
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: skirt and her sweater, and this kid's coming up behind her,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and I mean they're really fighting.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I'm like, where are the teachers.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Why is there no other student that's like, hey, don't
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: do that. That's what's missing in our culture. And when
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you look at something that happened in Cincinnati and you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: see this woman Holly, who jumped in to help this
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: man and was like, you got to stop, you're going
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to kill him. And then they beat the shit out
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of her and nobody helps her. Only one person in
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: that entire group, called nine to one one. I mean,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: where are we as a society and yet we have
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: these really disgusting marrors. Whether it's you know, Hochel. I
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: don't want to say it's Adams because I think Adams
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: probably would welcome the National Guard. I'm not sure about that,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: but I think he might. But you know, you look
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: at Hochel, you look at Mom Donnie, you look at
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Karen Bass in LA. You look at Gavin Newsom, you
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: look at what's happening in Chicago at Brandon Johnson and Pritzker,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: and then you look at what's happening in DC with Bowser,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: and you have to say to yourself, this is all wrong.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: We have to stop. We have to start protecting our own.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: There's nobody in their right mind that's out there going,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, this feels good. Everybody. We have to be done.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: And you know what, We've got to start helping each other.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: If you see an elderly person getting attacked, call on
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: nine one one, tell them it's an emergency. Then run
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: over if you are okay and well enough, and try
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: to intervene protect the elderly person. Now, if you are
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: elderly yourself, or you are physically disabled in some way.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I'm obviously not telling you to do that, but if
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: you're a young, spry person and you can help this person,
• 15:30
