Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: This is HBr News number five fifteen. Save us from
- 0:07Speaker 1: the banking tyranny and trolling the WNBA, discuss the news
- 0:11Speaker 1: for week and give it the Badger treatment.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Hello everybody, and welcome to Honey Badger Radio. Because I
- 0:23Speaker 2: hope you guys are doing well this week and that
- 0:25Speaker 2: you're laughing at all of this absurdity so that you
- 0:27Speaker 2: are not consumed by it. I'm your host, Brian and
- 0:30Speaker 2: I am joined by, as always, my lovely co hosts,
- 0:32Speaker 2: Hannah Wallen and doctor ranmkham. On today's HBr News Week,
- 0:37Speaker 2: we're gonna be discussing some of the latest happenings and
- 0:41Speaker 2: there's a lot to like talk about, but I had
- 0:43Speaker 2: to narrow it down to just a few so that
- 0:44Speaker 2: this show doesn't go on for hours and hours. But
- 0:47Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about subpoenas for the Clintons. D banking
- 0:51Speaker 2: has been debunked, adding some color specifically, I think it's
- 0:55Speaker 2: like pink or green to the WNBA and more so,
- 0:58Speaker 2: stick around. It's gonna be a time and be sure
- 1:02Speaker 2: to join us afterwards for the Patron Only after show,
- 1:05Speaker 2: where we're gonna be looking at this article from CBR
- 1:08Speaker 2: dot com, which, by the way, they've done this sort
- 1:11Speaker 2: of thing before, Like this isn't like a new thing,
- 1:13Speaker 2: but sometimes they they have to revisit the classics. So
- 1:17Speaker 2: they just like made an updated version of an old
- 1:21Speaker 2: listicle called how the Lord of the Rings movies have
- 1:25Speaker 2: aged poorly?
- 1:26Speaker 3: Where there because there's not enough women in it? It's
- 1:29Speaker 3: because there's not enough women in it. There's only two
- 1:32Speaker 3: main female characters and one of them had to be
- 1:34Speaker 3: bulked out to fill the Dei female quota.
- 1:40Speaker 1: That's what it is. Is.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Uh, well, I don't want to spoil it, but considering
- 1:47Speaker 2: the content of the channel that we do here, I
- 1:51Speaker 2: don't think that's too far off the mark. But if
- 1:55Speaker 2: you want to join us for that, you have to
- 1:57Speaker 2: become a badger yourself by going to feed the Badger
- 2:01Speaker 2: and starting a monthly subscription. Five bucks a month will
- 2:04Speaker 2: get you into our discord, where you'll be able to
- 2:07Speaker 2: watch all of the additional content like these patron shows
- 2:11Speaker 2: as well as works in progress, and hang out with
- 2:14Speaker 2: all of the very lovely people that are in the discord,
- 2:17Speaker 2: and you'll be able to coordinate things like the meetups
- 2:19Speaker 2: that we have coming up. So this coming Saturday, actually
- 2:22Speaker 2: I'll let Hannah tell you about it. But we have
- 2:25Speaker 2: a meetup coming up this Saturday in Ohio. If you
- 2:28Speaker 2: want to be there. I'm going to be there with
- 2:30Speaker 2: Lindsey and Hannah will be there, and maybe more people
- 2:33Speaker 2: will be there, but Hannah go ahead and tell them
- 2:34Speaker 2: a little bit about it.
- 2:36Speaker 4: So the meetup is going to be at Round One
- 2:40Speaker 4: in the Fairfield Mall in Beaver Creek, Ohio, and we
- 2:44Speaker 4: will be starting there. We'll be arriving there at about
- 2:48Speaker 4: four o'clock PM, so it'll start at about four o'clock
- 2:51Speaker 4: PM and it'll go until either all of us get
- 2:56Speaker 4: wiped out and leave or two AM, I think is
- 2:58Speaker 4: when the venue closes. Just be aware that the mall
- 3:03Speaker 4: closes earlier than that, so you'd have to leave through
- 3:06Speaker 4: Round ones outer door and not back through the mall,
- 3:10Speaker 4: so you want to park near Round one and not
- 3:13Speaker 4: someplace else to get close to the door. But yeah,
- 3:18Speaker 4: it's gonna be a good time. They have good food,
- 3:20Speaker 4: they have video games. There are hotels all over the
- 3:24Speaker 4: place around the area because there's there's a right State
- 3:28Speaker 4: university right there, and there's also all kinds of great
- 3:33Speaker 4: restaurants around the area. If you don't want to eat
- 3:36Speaker 4: at at Round one or if you want to eat
- 3:39Speaker 4: before you come in and stuff. And then there's also
- 3:45Speaker 4: some sort of anime cafe. We didn't get to go
- 3:47Speaker 4: inside and take a look, but we saw from the
- 3:49Speaker 4: outside and we looked at you know, their menu and
- 3:52Speaker 4: stuff online is kind of interesting looking upstairs as well.
- 3:57Speaker 4: But that's basically what we're going to be doing, and
- 4:00Speaker 4: it is not limited to any group of people, like
- 4:05Speaker 4: we have friends from Gamergate, we have friends from the
- 4:11Speaker 4: men's rights movement, we have some friends on the left,
- 4:13Speaker 4: we have some friends on the right. Doesn't matter. Just
- 4:16Speaker 4: show up and have a good time, see some of
- 4:19Speaker 4: the Badgers.
- 4:20Speaker 2: So go check that out. Go to feed the Badger
- 4:22Speaker 2: dot com. I think there's some more information there and
- 4:25Speaker 2: hopefully we'll see you guys there. And if you want
- 4:28Speaker 2: to reach out personally. You don't really like talking to websites,
- 4:32Speaker 2: I know, I don't. Just join the discord. You can
- 4:34Speaker 2: go into the free version of it by going to
- 4:36Speaker 2: Badger Nation dot online and you can just jump into
- 4:39Speaker 2: the discord and talk to the folks about what's going on.
- 4:41Speaker 2: We also have another meetup coming up in September. This
- 4:44Speaker 2: one will be in Calgary, Alberta, so a little bit
- 4:47Speaker 2: further out for me, but I will do my best
- 4:50Speaker 2: to be at that one as well. It's gonna be
- 4:53Speaker 2: like a little mini convention. We'll have some talks and stuff,
- 4:56Speaker 2: so not quite as like cash as the one in Ohio,
- 5:00Speaker 2: but they'll definitely be like fun times to be had there,
- 5:04Speaker 2: and that will be with Allison and Jonathan and Me
- 5:06Speaker 2: and Lindsey and whoever else can make it. So please
- 5:10Speaker 2: consider joining us for all of that. And if you
- 5:13Speaker 2: don't want to wake up one morning to find that
- 5:14Speaker 2: we've been needed from the internet finally, then go to
- 5:17Speaker 2: Badger feed dot com or Honeybager Radio dot com to
- 5:19Speaker 2: find all of our archived content. All right, so before
- 5:24Speaker 2: we get into it, I just got a super chow
- 5:26Speaker 2: I feel like I should read it out now from
- 5:28Speaker 2: Meredith G. Who gives us five dollars and says HPR
- 5:31Speaker 2: Newsumber five fifteen, Honey for the Badgers. Thank you, Meredith,
- 5:34Speaker 2: really appreciate it. Every little bit helps. Whatever you guys
- 5:38Speaker 2: want to give, especially if you have something to say,
- 5:41Speaker 2: I'd appreciate if you dissent it to us because we
- 5:44Speaker 2: usually have a lot to say here and so we
- 5:45Speaker 2: don't get a chance to respond to the chat as much.
- 5:48Speaker 2: But if you send us a such a super chow
- 5:50Speaker 2: or a rumble rant, we'll be sure to give you
- 5:53Speaker 2: all the priorita. And whenever like Twitter gets something like
- 5:56Speaker 2: that going, we'll use that too, because I know we
- 5:58Speaker 2: got people watching us on okay, But anyway, with all
- 6:02Speaker 2: of that out of the way, let us get into
- 6:04Speaker 2: today's stories, okay. On August fifth, twenty twenty five, the
- 6:09Speaker 2: House Oversight Committee, chaired by Representative James Comer, issued subpoenas
- 6:15Speaker 2: to a range of high profile figures, including former President
- 6:18Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former attorneys
- 6:23Speaker 2: General Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder,
- 6:27Speaker 2: and Alberto Gonzales, as well as former FBI directors James
- 6:31Speaker 2: Comy and Robert Mueller as part of a probe into
- 6:35Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case. The committee also subpoena's the
- 6:39Speaker 2: Justice Department for unredacted Epstein files due by August nineteenth,
- 6:44Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, that's in like seven days, and set
- 6:48Speaker 2: deposition dates for the officials from August to October, with
- 6:52Speaker 2: Bill Clinton's schedule for October fourteenth, and Hillary Clinton for
- 6:55Speaker 2: October ninth. This action follows a bipartisan vote on July
- 7:00Speaker 2: twenty third, twenty twenty five, by the Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee,
- 7:04Speaker 2: driven by Representative Scott Perry and supported by Representative Summer Lee,
- 7:08Speaker 2: to compel testimony and records to scrutinize the federal government's
- 7:12Speaker 2: handling of Epstein and Galaid Maxwell's cases amid concerns over
- 7:17Speaker 2: potential mishandling or leniency, such as the controversial two thousand
- 7:21Speaker 2: and eight non prosecution agreement negotiated by then US Attorney
- 7:25Speaker 2: Alex Acosta. The investigation has reignited public and political interest
- 7:30Speaker 2: due to Epstein's connections to powerful individuals and persistent conspiracy
- 7:34Speaker 2: theories surrounding his twenty nineteen death, officially ruled a suicide,
- 7:39Speaker 2: I have to say that because that's what they said,
- 7:41Speaker 2: and the lack of confirmed client list of abusers, as
- 7:45Speaker 2: noted in a July twenty twenty five Justice Department memo.
- 7:49Speaker 2: The probe also targets Glaid Maxwell, Epstein's associate, who is
- 7:53Speaker 2: serving a twenty year sentence for sex trafficking, though her
- 7:56Speaker 2: deposition was delayed pending a Supreme Court review of her conviction.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Despite bipartisan support, the subpoenas have sparked controversy, with some
- 8:05Speaker 2: questioning whether they are going to be a genuine push
- 8:08Speaker 2: for transparency or a politically motivated spectacle, especially given former
- 8:12Speaker 2: presidents rarely testify under compulsion. How Speaker Mike Johnson has
- 8:17Speaker 2: expressed reservations, arguing the Trump administration needs space to act,
- 8:21Speaker 2: while public sentiment on platforms like x reflect the skepticism
- 8:25Speaker 2: about the subpoenas effectiveness, with some users calling them smoke
- 8:29Speaker 2: and mirrors. The investigation aims to inform legislative reforms on
- 8:33Speaker 2: sex trafficking laws and non prosecutor make them illegal. What
- 8:37Speaker 2: what are you talking about? Reform and non prosecution agreements,
- 8:41Speaker 2: but its outcome remains uncertain as it navigates legal, political,
- 8:45Speaker 2: and public pressures.
- 8:46Speaker 3: All right, might as well rip this band aid off
- 8:51Speaker 3: as swiftly as possible. Nothing is going to happen. Listen
- 8:56Speaker 3: and gentlemen, nothing Sorry if that's blackpilling anyone, but it's
- 8:59Speaker 3: support and to be realistic, I'm not saying nothing ever happens.
- 9:04Speaker 3: That's a meme that has appeared among funnily enough news commentators,
- 9:11Speaker 3: people whose job it is to rigorously catalog all the
- 9:15Speaker 3: things that are happening. They'll spend every weekday compiling evidence
- 9:21Speaker 3: of all the things that have happened, and then they'll
- 9:23Speaker 3: jestingly quip that nothing ever happens. What they mean is
- 9:29Speaker 3: nothing good ever happens. Innocent people get arrested all the time,
- 9:35Speaker 3: but massively guilty people in royalty and in the government
- 9:40Speaker 3: never get arrested. That's why they do this shit, because
- 9:44Speaker 3: they know they'll never be arrested no matter what. It's
- 9:47Speaker 3: not that nothing ever happens. There's plenty of news, it's
- 9:53Speaker 3: just that it's all bad news. As they say, no
- 9:56Speaker 3: news is good news. Fucking the UK government and recently
- 10:00Speaker 3: banned feed people from criticizing the UK government, and the
- 10:04Speaker 3: rest of the world is following suit. They're not even outraged,
- 10:08Speaker 3: they're just following suit, just like world governments looked at
- 10:12Speaker 3: the Chinese model and instead of going this is totalitarian,
- 10:17Speaker 3: let's make sure we never do this, no, they licked
- 10:20Speaker 3: their lips and went, oh, hell, yes, we all need
- 10:24Speaker 3: social credit scores and complete control over the lives and
- 10:27Speaker 3: beliefs of our citizens. And what little pushback there is
- 10:32Speaker 3: is being completely ignored. So don't tell me nothing ever happens.
- 10:35Speaker 3: Huge things are happening every day that plunged the Western
- 10:40Speaker 3: world further and further into the Big Brother future. It's
- 10:44Speaker 3: just that nothing ever happens to prevent it. Perhaps this
- 10:50Speaker 3: is a rhetorical exaggeration. I certainly hope so. But where
- 10:54Speaker 3: it's not an exaggeration is when it comes to the
- 10:56Speaker 3: Clintons and other such I rannical murderers. If anyone is
- 11:04Speaker 3: sitting on a nest of hopes that any of these
- 11:07Speaker 3: people are going to face justice before they die, I'm
- 11:11Speaker 3: terribly sorry to have to disappoint you. That is not
- 11:15Speaker 3: how the world works. I mean, decades after they die,
- 11:19Speaker 3: we might become privy to the information that would have
- 11:23Speaker 3: and should have seen them in solitary confinement until they're
- 11:27Speaker 3: dying day, but not a moment before that. Royalty does
- 11:32Speaker 3: not get arrested unless there is a violent revolution, and
- 11:38Speaker 3: you probably don't want one of those because it will
- 11:42Speaker 3: mostly result in the deaths of the innocent in their millions.
- 11:46Speaker 3: How many innocent people have to die to justify the
- 11:50Speaker 3: Clinton's getting arrested, That's an interesting question. Kind of think
- 11:55Speaker 3: of it. I'm going to say ten people just to
- 11:58Speaker 3: start us off. If ten people people have to die
- 12:01Speaker 3: to get the Clintons in prison, it will have been
- 12:04Speaker 3: worth it. It took fewer than that to kill us.
- 12:07Speaker 3: I'ma bin laden Allegedly, it ought to be a trivial
- 12:11Speaker 3: affair when it comes to the Clintons. This is what
- 12:14Speaker 3: the FBI is for, this is what the CIA is for.
- 12:17Speaker 3: You send a squad to their house, you storm the place,
- 12:22Speaker 3: and you only need one bullet for Bill Clinton and
- 12:24Speaker 3: one well, one woodchipper for Hillary. I just I just
- 12:30Speaker 3: want to see the look on her face as she's
- 12:34Speaker 3: emptied into the wood chipper. It's that's my thing. That
- 12:37Speaker 3: and that would be a thing happening, that that would
- 12:41Speaker 3: finally be a good thing happening. But like I said,
- 12:44Speaker 3: the chances of it happening are in the single digits.
- 12:48Speaker 3: So don't rest your laurels on it, folks. Just try
- 12:52Speaker 3: to build a future where the Clintons of the future
- 12:57Speaker 3: can't happen anymore, where criminals can't just ransacked the way
- 13:01Speaker 3: through the country with impunity. It's a pipe dream, I know,
- 13:06Speaker 3: but it's pretty basic, bitch. When when when you strip
- 13:10Speaker 3: it all down, it is at the very least the
- 13:14Speaker 3: least we can do. I think maybe, you.
- 13:22Speaker 4: Know, it's a it's gonna be one of those situations
- 13:25Speaker 4: where you have a little hope, but you never hold
- 13:28Speaker 4: your breath because it's the government prosecuting the government, and
- 13:33Speaker 4: the government never finds itself guilty, even when it's a
- 13:37Speaker 4: different administration. And we can hope that with Trump in
- 13:43Speaker 4: office and Trump wanting vengeance for you know, the whole
- 13:49Speaker 4: Russia conspiracy and all that, that that he is going
- 13:54Speaker 4: to be different. And you can always hope that that
- 13:58Speaker 4: this particular politician is going to be different, and there
- 14:01Speaker 4: have been there's been evidence that he's going to be different,
- 14:05Speaker 4: because there's been other instances where he has been different,
- 14:09Speaker 4: you know, as especially in terms of keeping promises about
- 14:12Speaker 4: shrinking the government in various ways. But at the same time,
- 14:18Speaker 4: there's been, you know, some hesitance to come out and
- 14:25Speaker 4: provide the information that he promised about the Epstein files. However,
- 14:30Speaker 4: there has been something interesting that came out since I
- 14:35Speaker 4: posted this in our internal chat about the news show,
- 14:42Speaker 4: or at least something that I didn't find until later,
- 14:45Speaker 4: and that is that there was more confirmation that Jeffrey
- 14:53Speaker 4: Epstein was an FBI informant was. This was published by
- 14:59Speaker 4: Radar on Line. But the news the news paper that
- 15:06Speaker 4: I founded in was the Economic Times, and their link
- 15:11Speaker 4: to Radar Online just goes to Radar onlines front page.
- 15:14Speaker 4: It doesn't go to the Epstein story. So I'm going
- 15:21Speaker 4: to read a little bit of this, but it's it
- 15:23Speaker 4: just says according to an internal FBI cable dated September nine,
- 15:27Speaker 4: two thousand and eight, special agents, this was this was,
- 15:30Speaker 4: by the way, obtained by a Freedom of Information Act
- 15:34Speaker 4: lawsuit by Radar Online, so this was this was definitely
- 15:39Speaker 4: from a government source. Special agents noted that Epstein was
- 15:44Speaker 4: actively providing information to the FBI as agreed upon, and
- 15:48Speaker 4: that no federal prosecution would proceed as long as he
- 15:52Speaker 4: complied with the agreement made in the state of Florida.
- 15:54Speaker 4: So that explains why that agreement happened. Right then prosecuted
- 15:58Speaker 4: because he was he was actively providing them with information,
- 16:04Speaker 4: and we don't know exactly what kind of information. Probably financial.
- 16:10Speaker 4: It was probably getting financial information on people that he
- 16:14Speaker 4: lured to his island with you know, the the the
- 16:19Speaker 4: other activities that he had going on there that we
- 16:21Speaker 4: can't really describe that much on YouTube without getting the
- 16:26Speaker 4: banhammer the cable was marked routine, and it strongly suggested
- 16:32Speaker 4: Epstein was cooperating with federal authorities before the Plea deal,
- 16:38Speaker 4: and and then of course afterwards, when all this outrage
- 16:43Speaker 4: happened and he got prosecuted and he got killed, that
- 16:46Speaker 4: that kind of violated whatever deal he made with the FBI.
- 16:50Speaker 4: A source close to the investigation described these files to
- 16:53Speaker 4: Radar Online as smoking gun documents proving Epstein's status as
- 16:58Speaker 4: an FBI source well before the Plea deal. The revelation
- 17:02Speaker 4: challenges the narrative that Epstein's leniency was solely due to
- 17:06Speaker 4: powerful lawyers or elite social connections. So that's an important
- 17:10Speaker 4: bit of information for a couple of reasons. First of all,
- 17:14Speaker 4: it shows that the FBI was, at least during the
- 17:18Speaker 4: Obama administration and probably prior to that as well, they
- 17:22Speaker 4: were okay with using somebody who was committing heinous crimes
- 17:27Speaker 4: against children as an informant and allowing him to continue
- 17:31Speaker 4: to remain free to commit heinous crimes against children like that.
- 17:37Speaker 4: They were okay with that as long as they got
- 17:39Speaker 4: what they wanted out of it. That's the first thing
- 17:42Speaker 4: that's that's really sick, right. But the other thing is
- 17:46Speaker 4: this narrative that you can get away with heinous crimes
- 17:51Speaker 4: against children just because you're rich and powerful and just
- 17:56Speaker 4: because you're a man. That kind of kills that because
- 18:00Speaker 4: clearly he had to be an informant and gather dirt
- 18:07Speaker 4: on his customers for the FBI in order to have
- 18:11Speaker 4: that freedom right, not just be rich and male. Right,
- 18:19Speaker 4: the magic penis didn't keep him out of jail. Feminists,
- 18:22Speaker 4: sorry to bust your bubble. And so that's that's a
- 18:26Speaker 4: rather important thing. Now with regard to the Clintons. You know,
- 18:30Speaker 4: they've they've been teflon for so long that I think
- 18:35Speaker 4: we all have a bit of Clinton fatigue, where you know, yeah,
- 18:39Speaker 4: we hear they did did something again, right, we hear
- 18:41Speaker 4: some new thing about Yeah, there's evidence against the Clintons
- 18:44Speaker 4: in this area, there's evidence against the Clintons in this area. Well,
- 18:47Speaker 4: you know, they're gonna get away with it because it's
- 18:49Speaker 4: the Clintons, and they get away with everything. But uh,
- 18:55Speaker 4: I think that started with the fact of all the
- 18:58Speaker 4: sexual allegations against Bill Clinton. And when you break most
- 19:03Speaker 4: of those down, there's only one of them that really
- 19:07Speaker 4: has very much credibility because there are actual medical records
- 19:13Speaker 4: for the accuser who was injured, and so it is
- 19:20Speaker 4: possible that that one was true. But the majority of
- 19:23Speaker 4: the allegations of sexual misconduct against Bill Clinton when he
- 19:28Speaker 4: was president were either demonstrably bogus or really not that important.
- 19:37Speaker 4: And with that being the thing that they got away
- 19:42Speaker 4: with first, it kind of set the stage for people
- 19:46Speaker 4: to think, oh, they get away with everything, when really
- 19:48Speaker 4: that wasn't that big of a deal. Hillary gets away
- 19:51Speaker 4: with a lot of stuff, and there was evidence of
- 19:55Speaker 4: a lot of corruption in her office, in her actions
- 20:00Speaker 4: and her history as a lawyer, but we really can't
- 20:04Speaker 4: be sure of any of that either because there was
- 20:07Speaker 4: never any follow up and the DC smear machine that that
- 20:13Speaker 4: goes after politicians may have exaggerated everything, but this they
- 20:21Speaker 4: may not be able to get out of. If this
- 20:26Speaker 4: started with the Clinton administration and not the Obama administration,
- 20:35Speaker 4: you know, that's that's something that maybe they might might
- 20:41Speaker 4: hang for. Using a an individual who is known to
- 20:48Speaker 4: be a predator of children and keeping him out in
- 20:54Speaker 4: the world doing what he does just so that they
- 20:59Speaker 4: can get him from on people he can lure to
- 21:03Speaker 4: this this private island to do horrible things. That's uh,
- 21:08Speaker 4: that's pretty awful, right, There's got to be other ways
- 21:13Speaker 4: to get blackmail material on your political enemies. I mean,
- 21:17Speaker 4: the guy was a financier, right, they could have gotten
- 21:21Speaker 4: it that way, but no, they they had to allow
- 21:27Speaker 4: this to happen. So even if you know, it comes
- 21:31Speaker 4: out that the reason that Bill Clinton went to Epstein
- 21:38Speaker 4: Island so many times was to keep up with that
- 21:42Speaker 4: information and obtain that information. Uh that that's still that's
- 21:49Speaker 4: just as bad as if he went there as a customer.
- 21:54Speaker 4: You know, that's just as bad because he knew what
- 21:56Speaker 4: was happening, and he was in the most powerful, powerful
- 22:00Speaker 4: position in the world, and he didn't do jack shit
- 22:03Speaker 4: about it. He cooperated, right, he allowed his his his
- 22:09Speaker 4: FBI to cooperate, and Obama didn't stop it. He could
- 22:14Speaker 4: have stopped it, and he didn't stop it. And then
- 22:18Speaker 4: of course they kept Trump out of office for a
- 22:23Speaker 4: second term because they didn't want him finding out. So, yeah,
- 22:30Speaker 4: this is this is a heck of a bomb drop.
- 22:33Speaker 4: Hopefully it lands on the target and not you know,
- 22:38Speaker 4: out in the weeds somewhere where nothing will happen.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean mainly I covered it because we have
- 22:46Speaker 2: been you know, we were basically the one of the
- 22:50Speaker 2: earliest to report.
- 22:51Speaker 1: When the arrest happened.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Of Jeffrey Epstein and then the suicide that followed.
- 22:58Speaker 1: We reported it.
- 22:59Speaker 2: So I see that this is an ongoing story that
- 23:01Speaker 2: I will only really because like some people, they report
- 23:04Speaker 2: on every little thing that happens, and I don't do
- 23:07Speaker 2: that because, first of all, it's very click baity, and
- 23:10Speaker 2: I think it's like kind of empty because there you
- 23:13Speaker 2: end up having because you need to cover every little
- 23:16Speaker 2: thing that happens, you end up landing in a bunch
- 23:19Speaker 2: of like speculation land, like oh, you know, so and
- 23:22Speaker 2: so said this, but they said it like this, or
- 23:24Speaker 2: why was he wearing a green shirt that day? Or
- 23:27Speaker 2: whatever it is. So I'd rather wait until something kind
- 23:30Speaker 2: of concrete happens. And so I saw the thing about
- 23:33Speaker 2: the FBI, but I didn't want I figured we could
- 23:36Speaker 2: just lump them together. But I but this is like
- 23:39Speaker 2: the real thing that on paper, you know, subpoenas have
- 23:42Speaker 2: been issued that we're gonna see what happens in seven days,
- 23:47Speaker 2: they're supposed to release some documents and we'll cover it
- 23:51Speaker 2: on the news show. Just because I started it. I
- 23:53Speaker 2: started it like just like anything else you know when
- 23:57Speaker 2: when the Derek Chauvin George Floyd thing happened. I was
- 24:00Speaker 2: one of the first people to report on it. Once
- 24:04Speaker 2: the once the bodycam footage came out like this was like,
- 24:09Speaker 2: I don't know, weeks, a week or so after the
- 24:11Speaker 2: incident itself happened. And if if something else comes out
- 24:16Speaker 2: that follows up on that story, you know, like something
- 24:19Speaker 2: happens with Derek Chauvin or something, I'm gonna I'm gonna
- 24:21Speaker 2: report it because I already started it. So I got
- 24:23Speaker 2: to keep following through. If something breaks with Bill Cosby,
- 24:26Speaker 2: I'm gonna follow it. If something breaks with Harvey Weinstein.
- 24:29Speaker 2: I mean, there are some things with Harvey Weinstein that
- 24:31Speaker 2: appeared to be coming out, but I didn't think it
- 24:33Speaker 2: was quite enough meat on that bone for a new story.
- 24:36Speaker 2: So with this, I'm not really like getting excited or
- 24:42Speaker 2: depressed about it. I'm just following it to see where
- 24:45Speaker 2: it goes.
- 24:45Speaker 1: And I'm that's it.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Like, whatever the truth is is, whatever the truth is,
- 24:48Speaker 2: We're just hopefully we'll be able to endure whatever happens.
- 24:51Speaker 2: But uh, this is what happened. I'm following up, so
- 24:55Speaker 2: we will see. I mean, we're probably not gonna hear
- 24:57Speaker 2: anything about this until October, which is when I think
- 25:00Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton is supposed to testify. So this is the
- 25:04Speaker 2: way the courts work. We've been through the courts ourselves.
- 25:06Speaker 2: It dece is usually like a slow process, lots of
- 25:09Speaker 2: red tape, lots of bureaucracy. That's just the way it goes.
- 25:13Speaker 1: You know.
- 25:13Speaker 2: This is like unfortunate but true. So anyway, we'll be
- 25:17Speaker 2: we'll follow back on it when we when we hear more.
- 25:21Speaker 2: And uh, that's that's all I can say about that.
- 25:24Speaker 2: So anyway, let's know what you guys thinking about this
- 25:26Speaker 2: one in the comments. We're gonna move on to the
- 25:29Speaker 2: next story because I think any super chats or super
- 25:32Speaker 2: child So but if you send some of those in, guys,
- 25:34Speaker 2: if you have any questions, you know, give us, give
- 25:36Speaker 2: us some thoughts, all right. In a related news and
- 25:39Speaker 2: I think this is actually a really good story to
- 25:42Speaker 2: cover as well, in light of everything that's happened in
- 25:46Speaker 2: the past few years in America, Canada, and other parts
- 25:49Speaker 2: of the world. On August seventh, twenty twenty five, President
- 25:53Speaker 2: Donald Trump signed Executive Order one four three three one
- 25:56Speaker 2: titled Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans, aimed at combating
- 26:01Speaker 2: politicized or unlawful debanking, defined as the denial or restriction
- 26:06Speaker 2: of financial services based on a customer's political or religious
- 26:10Speaker 2: beliefs or lawful business activities disfavored for political reasons. The
- 26:15Speaker 2: order addresses past practices such as Operation Choke Point and
- 26:19Speaker 2: post January six, twenty twenty one, surveillance programs, where financial
- 26:24Speaker 2: institutions allegedly targeted individuals and businesses, particularly conservatives, religious groups,
- 26:29Speaker 2: and industries like firearms, energy, and digital assets, for their
- 26:33Speaker 2: beliefs or affiliations. It mandates that banking decisions be based
- 26:38Speaker 2: on individualized, objective and risk based analyzes, prohibiting discrimination under
- 26:43Speaker 2: laws like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and seeks to
- 26:46Speaker 2: restore public trust by ensuring fair access to financial services
- 26:51Speaker 2: for all Americans. The executive order imposes specific actions on
- 26:55Speaker 2: federal banking regulators, including the Federal Reserve, FDIC, OCC, NCUACFPB,
- 27:03Speaker 2: and SBA, within set timelines. Within one hundred eighty days,
- 27:08Speaker 2: regulators must remove reputation risk and similar concepts from their
- 27:12Speaker 2: supervisory materials that could enable debanking, and within one hundred
- 27:17Speaker 2: and twenty days, they must review financial institutions for past
- 27:20Speaker 2: or current policies that promote such practices, with potential penalties
- 27:24Speaker 2: like fines or consent decrees for violations. The SBA is
- 27:28Speaker 2: directed to notify lenders within sixty days to identify and
- 27:32Speaker 2: reinstate clients previously debanked unlawfully under its programs, while the
- 27:37Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary must develop a comprehensive antid banking strategy within
- 27:41Speaker 2: one hundred eighty days, potentially including legislative proposals.
- 27:45Speaker 1: These measures build.
- 27:46Speaker 2: On prior efforts like the DOJ slash Virginia Equal Access
- 27:50Speaker 2: to Banking Task Force and proposed laws such as the
- 27:54Speaker 2: Fair Access to Banking Act, reflecting a broader push to
- 27:57Speaker 2: eliminate discriminatory banking practices. So he is and this, you
- 28:04Speaker 2: know how I learn about this is really interesting because
- 28:08Speaker 2: I was talking about a lot about gamer Gate. I
- 28:10Speaker 2: do a lot of like stories on culture and the
- 28:14Speaker 2: gaming industry and other creative industries on my channel a
- 28:18Speaker 2: Honey Badger Arcade, which you guys can check out on
- 28:20Speaker 2: YouTube or rumble. And this came out because there was
- 28:24Speaker 2: a recent kerfuffle on Steam, Hio and other sort of
- 28:29Speaker 2: you know goog dot com, which are all like gaming
- 28:32Speaker 2: websites where you can buy games. There's an activist group
- 28:35Speaker 2: called Collective Shout, which we've talked about on this channel before.
- 28:38Speaker 2: There are a bunch of radical feminists from Australia that
- 28:40Speaker 2: are supposedly trying to protect women and girls from sexual
- 28:43Speaker 2: objectification by essentially getting games banned. Now, they couldn't get
- 28:48Speaker 2: the games banned directly, so instead they did a different
- 28:51Speaker 2: tactic by carpet bombing the actual like credit card payment
- 28:56Speaker 2: processors and demanding that they be the ones that restrict
- 29:00Speaker 2: people's ability to buy stuff on steamgog or ith dot
- 29:04Speaker 2: io with their own money. And of course they come
- 29:08Speaker 2: out of Australia, and Australia doesn't really have the ability
- 29:12Speaker 2: to change the Trump's you know, bill or executive order
- 29:16Speaker 2: won't affect that. But what I'm hoping for is that
- 29:20Speaker 2: it will sort of set a tone so that other
- 29:22Speaker 2: people will realize that their basically right to their own
- 29:27Speaker 2: property is being threatened by this and that they should
- 29:29Speaker 2: be speaking out. So and it is like Americans are
- 29:33Speaker 2: probably in a better position because of this act in
- 29:37Speaker 2: terms of that gamer Gate controversy, because that's that's the
- 29:40Speaker 2: way they work. If they can't scold you into submission,
- 29:42Speaker 2: then they'll just take away access to your money.
- 29:45Speaker 1: The thing.
- 29:45Speaker 2: The other thing that this affected where people like Mike Lindell,
- 29:48Speaker 2: who you guys might know is a MyPillow guy who
- 29:51Speaker 2: had his business destroyed because he supported Trump the January
- 29:55Speaker 2: sixth people got debanked, you know, So this is like
- 29:59Speaker 2: all people crypto guys that were like involved with cryptocurrencies,
- 30:05Speaker 2: We're getting dbanked because it was going against I guess,
- 30:08Speaker 2: you know, whatever the banks wanted. So this is like
- 30:11Speaker 2: a problem that needed to be addressed unfortunately. So I
- 30:14Speaker 2: don't know if you guys have any thoughts on there.
- 30:16Speaker 4: Yeah, this is what I was talking about last week
- 30:18Speaker 4: that I said needed to happen, and you know it's
- 30:21Speaker 4: it's people think of this as, oh my gosh, you
- 30:23Speaker 4: guys are throwing such a temper tantrum over games like
- 30:26Speaker 4: fuck that, right, you know better than that. Nobody who
- 30:29Speaker 4: says that is unaware of the huge, huge intrusion that
- 30:36Speaker 4: banks have made into people's lives. Right, You can't get
- 30:41Speaker 4: paid without a bank in most workplaces, most big corporate
- 30:45Speaker 4: workplaces in the United States. Not just your workplace getting
- 30:51Speaker 4: money out of their bank, but a lot of workplaces,
- 30:55Speaker 4: most workplaces now have gone to mandatory direct deposit. You
- 31:00Speaker 4: can't get a paycheck. They won't give you a paycheck.
- 31:04Speaker 4: And if you don't have a bank account and they
- 31:09Speaker 4: can't pay into your bank account, then you have to
- 31:13Speaker 4: settle for some very insecure methods of getting paid, like
- 31:20Speaker 4: netspend and stuff like that, where if somebody, somebody actually
- 31:26Speaker 4: gets into the system and gets your information the minute
- 31:30Speaker 4: you get paid, that money can be taken and you
- 31:33Speaker 4: don't have a way to get it back. So essentially
- 31:39Speaker 4: you can't go to the grocery store without banks. You
- 31:43Speaker 4: can't get gas for your car without banks, you can't
- 31:47Speaker 4: do anything without banks. They are that powerful now, and
- 31:51Speaker 4: so if they can come along and say, well, if
- 31:55Speaker 4: you're Republican and we think that you voted for Donald Trump,
- 32:00Speaker 4: you you can't have a bank account, right. If you
- 32:05Speaker 4: speak out online about the way that your culture is
- 32:10Speaker 4: being attacked, you can't have a bank account. If you
- 32:13Speaker 4: speak out online about father's rights, you can't have a
- 32:17Speaker 4: bank account. And it's not just the big banks going
- 32:25Speaker 4: directly after individuals like they did go after one of
- 32:29Speaker 4: the leaders founding members of the Proud Boys in that
- 32:33Speaker 4: manner took away his bank so that he had to
- 32:38Speaker 4: go find he had to scramble to find a place
- 32:41Speaker 4: to bank. And you know, there's always credit unions, right,
- 32:46Speaker 4: but they have to do business with the big banks too.
- 32:51Speaker 4: And there's always payment processors like PayPal, right, except they
- 32:55Speaker 4: have to do business with the big banks too, right.
- 32:59Speaker 4: They have to do better business through the credit card
- 33:01Speaker 4: companies because most transactions that you make in order to
- 33:07Speaker 4: take money out of or put money into your PayPal
- 33:10Speaker 4: account go through a bank account, or they go through
- 33:15Speaker 4: a credit card, and the credit cards are owned by
- 33:19Speaker 4: the banks. And so what ended up happening with PayPal,
- 33:26Speaker 4: they ended up with the same pressure campaign they ended up. MasterCard,
- 33:30Speaker 4: I think was the first one to do it to
- 33:32Speaker 4: them basically said you can't do business with certain groups
- 33:36Speaker 4: of people and you have to ban people based on
- 33:40Speaker 4: political affiliations, or we will not do business with you
- 33:45Speaker 4: and you will not be able to get payments through
- 33:47Speaker 4: US visas. Only a step behind MasterCard on that, and
- 33:52Speaker 4: they are the two biggest credit card payment processors in
- 33:58Speaker 4: the world, like all the other card companies will follow
- 34:04Speaker 4: suit if they do a particular thing over time, and
- 34:10Speaker 4: what you end up with in that situation is that
- 34:12Speaker 4: you can't buy anything anywhere. You wouldn't be able to
- 34:15Speaker 4: buy a cryptocurrency. You wouldn't be able to bypass the
- 34:18Speaker 4: banks because you have to use the banks to buy
- 34:21Speaker 4: the cryptocurrency to bypass the banks. So if they decided
- 34:24Speaker 4: they didn't want you to be able to do that,
- 34:27Speaker 4: they could stop you. And so they become a government
- 34:32Speaker 4: onto themselves, a world government onto themselves or unto themselves.
- 34:38Speaker 4: And if your country does not want to be overridden
- 34:42Speaker 4: by a world banking system that makes its own laws
- 34:46Speaker 4: and then imposes them sort of around governments or behind
- 34:53Speaker 4: the backs of governments, going directly to businesses and stuff,
- 34:57Speaker 4: then they have to pass laws like this. They can't
- 35:00Speaker 4: allow banks to undermine their national processes. And that is
- 35:06Speaker 4: essentially what the United States is doing at this point,
- 35:09Speaker 4: what the president is doing. He is saying the banks
- 35:12Speaker 4: cannot undermine the culture of the United States and the
- 35:17Speaker 4: legal processes, the election systems, the civil rights protections, and
- 35:23Speaker 4: so on in the United States by going directly to
- 35:26Speaker 4: businesses and saying you can't do business with people who
- 35:30Speaker 4: are of this political affiliation. But it took gamers to
- 35:34Speaker 4: figure out just how bad banks being able to do
- 35:37Speaker 4: that was and have enough of allowed fit about it
- 35:41Speaker 4: to get the president's attention. How bad is that? Like
- 35:45Speaker 4: everybody else that should have noticed, doctors, lawyers, business owners
- 35:51Speaker 4: should have been able to go to the president say, hey,
- 35:54Speaker 4: this is a big, big deal. We are in real
- 35:57Speaker 4: trouble here. We're not going to be able to just
- 36:01Speaker 4: do business freely as as Americans doing business with American
- 36:06Speaker 4: citizens because of this. You better do something about it. No,
- 36:10Speaker 4: it's it was. It was just us little petally, you know,
- 36:16Speaker 4: individuals that just wanted to have the freedom to have
- 36:19Speaker 4: a stupid pastime that nobody should care about in terms
- 36:25Speaker 4: of you know, getting upset. Right, it's there's actually quite
- 36:29Speaker 4: a bit of value to it. It's very good for
- 36:32Speaker 4: your brain if as long as you don't overdo it.
- 36:36Speaker 4: But yeah, just us. Nobody else seemed to care about this.
- 36:41Speaker 4: Nobody else figured out just exactly how dangerous it is
- 36:45Speaker 4: to have a world organization that could override every government
- 36:49Speaker 4: everywhere except gamers. Again, So next time somebody makes fun
- 37:02Speaker 4: of you for still playing video games at whatever age
- 37:04Speaker 4: you are, just remember that, all right, if anybody's gonna
- 37:09Speaker 4: save the world, it's gonna be gamers.
- 37:15Speaker 3: And yeah, no, the problem with the D banking is
- 37:19Speaker 3: that the D banking is slanted politically. If you d
- 37:26Speaker 3: bank someone for being let's say, a black supremacist, a
- 37:31Speaker 3: card carrying proud black supremacist, that's not allowed. You can't
- 37:35Speaker 3: do that. That's no reason to d bank someone. Why
- 37:37Speaker 3: on earth would it be. If you do it, you'll
- 37:40Speaker 3: get sued by various black supremacy groups and uh, and
- 37:53Speaker 3: you'll be all over the news media for your racist
- 37:56Speaker 3: transgression and you're dead in the water and so is
- 37:59Speaker 3: your company. Whereas if you debank someone for allegedly being
- 38:04Speaker 3: a white supremacist, whatever fuck that can it must be true,
- 38:09Speaker 3: they deserve it, and the news media doesn't give a
- 38:13Speaker 3: shit and they never report on it the end. That's
- 38:17Speaker 3: the problem in a nutshell, a black and white nutshell.
- 38:22Speaker 3: And there are two ways of dealing with it. Trump
- 38:25Speaker 3: has gone for the obvious one, authoritarianism on top of authoritarianism,
- 38:30Speaker 3: let's ban people from banning people based on x xyz characteristics,
- 38:37Speaker 3: blah blah blah. But the second option is the other direction,
- 38:43Speaker 3: where you don't ban anyone from banning anyone. Any bank
- 38:48Speaker 3: can refuse service to any creed or color they see
- 38:52Speaker 3: fit for any reason. You can have a no Blacks,
- 38:56Speaker 3: no Irish sign right at the front door, and it's fine.
- 39:01Speaker 3: That would be an interesting experiment. I'd like to see
- 39:03Speaker 3: it happen somewhere, because then someone somewhere could start up
- 39:09Speaker 3: a bank and open it to the public with a
- 39:13Speaker 3: sign on the door saying no Jews. Now, I I'm
- 39:18Speaker 3: not saying anything. I'm not ready to say anything. That's
- 39:22Speaker 3: what an experiment is. It's an undergoing to examine what
- 39:27Speaker 3: there is to be said. And I would like to
- 39:28Speaker 3: see an experiment in the free market wherein someone is
- 39:33Speaker 3: allowed to open a bank that is available to absolutely
- 39:38Speaker 3: everyone except Jews. I just want to see what happens.
- 39:41Speaker 3: I just want to see it. I want to write
- 39:43Speaker 3: it down in my notes in my little book of science,
- 39:48Speaker 3: and see in what way we can enrich the data
- 39:52Speaker 3: based on those results.
- 39:54Speaker 2: In fact, it's southern that's sort of heading in that direction, Mike,
- 39:57Speaker 2: So we might see that fulfilled. You heard about the
- 40:00Speaker 2: all white town of like forty people.
- 40:03Speaker 3: We'll see, we'll see, we'll see if they can do.
- 40:07Speaker 3: In fact, saw the banks?
- 40:08Speaker 1: Why leave it there?
- 40:10Speaker 3: What if everyone everywhere was allowed to discriminate. Imagine that
- 40:16Speaker 3: you could just go What are you a Zoroastrian?
- 40:20Speaker 1: No, get out.
- 40:21Speaker 3: This is my property. I make the rules, and I
- 40:24Speaker 3: don't have to justify myself. I don't want you filled
- 40:27Speaker 3: the Zoroastrians here. So jog on but but but but no,
- 40:34Speaker 3: jog on but Judaism isn't isn't a religion. It's a
- 40:37Speaker 3: rare jog on son. I'm not getting into it. I
- 40:43Speaker 3: have no obligation to go into it. Now, hire pretty happily,
- 40:46Speaker 3: get off my property. You have fifteen seconds to comply. Now.
- 40:52Speaker 3: The average Western leftist, Uh, to them, that sounds like
- 40:57Speaker 3: a dystopian nightmare world. But to the average normal person
- 41:02Speaker 3: at every other point in history, everywhere else in the world,
- 41:05Speaker 3: that sounds like it's the normal thing, the thing that
- 41:08Speaker 3: people do all the time. Why wouldn't they. So I'd
- 41:13Speaker 3: just like to see an experiment where we get back
- 41:17Speaker 3: to doing the normal thing that normal people do all
- 41:20Speaker 3: the time. Let's just see what happens. That's all I'm saying.
- 41:23Speaker 3: It's it's it's for science, guys. Let's take a peek
- 41:28Speaker 3: into the unknown. It'll be fun. It's not gonna happen,
- 41:33Speaker 3: but it would be fun.
- 41:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, freedom of Association is like, we do
- 41:40Speaker 2: it anyway. For the most part, we just have to
- 41:42Speaker 2: like drive it home that it's okay to like do.
- 41:45Speaker 4: That, well, but we have to do more than that,
- 41:47Speaker 4: because in terms of banks, it's not like you know,
- 41:54Speaker 4: a restaurant or a grocery store or gas station or
- 41:59Speaker 4: something like that. Anybody can open up one of those businesses,
- 42:02Speaker 4: and there there's a regulatory process and there's a uh,
- 42:05Speaker 4: you know, there's paperwork and stuff like that, but it's
- 42:08Speaker 4: not so overly complicated, and the startup capital isn't so
- 42:14Speaker 4: extensive and expensive that you know, it prevents anybody from
- 42:19Speaker 4: being able to do it. But you know, the the
- 42:23Speaker 4: whole idea of well, if if you don't like this,
- 42:25Speaker 4: start your own insert type of business here, start your
- 42:29Speaker 4: own insert type of processor here, start your own bank.
- 42:34Speaker 4: It kind of stops at start your own bank because
- 42:37Speaker 4: of the way that governments handle banking already, it's damn
- 42:41Speaker 4: near impossible even for it's been done all right. There
- 42:46Speaker 4: is I guess a right wing bank, but it's it's
- 42:49Speaker 4: damn near impossible if you do not have a significant
- 42:53Speaker 4: amount of networking and pull to to start your own bank.
- 43:01Speaker 4: And and you know, and that's that's today. Like historically
- 43:04Speaker 4: it wasn't. Historically there was competition among banks, but over
- 43:11Speaker 4: the last fifty years or so, there has been a
- 43:15Speaker 4: concerted effort by certain banks buying up other bank companies,
- 43:21Speaker 4: banking companies. In fact, the bank that I'm with now,
- 43:26Speaker 4: I'm only with that bank because it bought the company
- 43:31Speaker 4: that bought the company that bought the company that bought
- 43:36Speaker 4: the bank I started with, Right, That's that's why I'm
- 43:41Speaker 4: with the bank i'm with now. Literally, I never signed
- 43:44Speaker 4: up for this bank.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Same happen to me too, And and so.
- 43:53Speaker 4: It's a different story to say, well, just start your
- 43:55Speaker 4: own bank, even a credit union is difficult, so and
- 44:01Speaker 4: it and it does take You wouldn't be able to
- 44:04Speaker 4: have a small group of people that have absolutely no
- 44:07Speaker 4: knowledge of banking decide they're going to start their own
- 44:09Speaker 4: bank and then wing it, you know, just learn on
- 44:13Speaker 4: the fly, and uh not have people involved that that
- 44:18Speaker 4: already have power, already have money, and already have knowledge
- 44:22Speaker 4: of the banking system and the government system the regulation
- 44:25Speaker 4: system around banks. Banks are heavily regulated, like to the
- 44:29Speaker 4: degree that it would be like trying to navigate a labyrinth,
- 44:36Speaker 4: a three D labyrinth the size of the planet. Okay,
- 44:42Speaker 4: so it says I'm not going I'm not sure that.
- 44:44Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't see in echoing.
- 44:48Speaker 4: This is just so important, you guys need to hear
- 44:50Speaker 4: it twice.
- 44:54Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
- 44:55Speaker 4: The so the idea of you know, well, well you
- 44:58Speaker 4: just allow anybody to discriminate and eventually it'll all work
- 45:01Speaker 4: itself out. It does as long as there are no monopolies.
- 45:06Speaker 4: But there are numerous government facilitated and government controlled or
- 45:15Speaker 4: at least government maintained monopolies. In the big banks are
- 45:20Speaker 4: one of them.
- 45:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that at this step. I mean, like,
- 45:27Speaker 2: ideally we live in a world where freedom of association
- 45:30Speaker 2: was king, but we can't where like, you know, neck
- 45:35Speaker 2: deep in red tape, in bureaucracy, in like decades of
- 45:41Speaker 2: people voting in favor of more and more state regulation
- 45:45Speaker 2: and overreach and so on.
- 45:48Speaker 1: So I think that this is like.
- 45:49Speaker 2: What we have to do now west to live on
- 45:52Speaker 2: planet Earth and deal with the world as it is
- 45:54Speaker 2: and not in the way that we wish it was.
- 45:56Speaker 1: But I just want to add.
- 45:57Speaker 2: On top of this, like how this kind of thing
- 45:59Speaker 2: has affected people outside of the US. I forgot to
- 46:02Speaker 2: mention as one of the examples of uh, you know,
- 46:06Speaker 2: debanking harm is Canada. When the trucker protests were going on,
- 46:13Speaker 2: What did Justin Trudeau, who was Prime minister at the
- 46:15Speaker 2: time do. He took away the truckers and anyone who
- 46:18Speaker 2: supported them access to their banking uh, their their money,
- 46:23Speaker 2: their bank accounts and froze them or you know, just
- 46:27Speaker 2: debank them. So this is obviously going to be used
- 46:31Speaker 2: in a lopsided way if it exists. I think that
- 46:34Speaker 2: there needs to be a conversation about, you know, uh, like,
- 46:38Speaker 2: how do we fix this problem? But this executive order
- 46:41Speaker 2: and again, these these things they're usually like you know,
- 46:44Speaker 2: unless they get pushed through by Congress, they're they're usually
- 46:49Speaker 2: like temporary fixes. But it's better than nothing. And I
- 46:51Speaker 2: leave maybe in the in tereum we can like you know,
- 46:54Speaker 2: figure out some longer term solutions so that we don't
- 46:57Speaker 2: have to deal with something like this again. And I
- 46:59Speaker 2: guess the United States, because we're the only ones that
- 47:02Speaker 2: tried to like Trump is the only person that did
- 47:04Speaker 2: something about it. We'll have to like show the world
- 47:06Speaker 2: what it looks like at least and hopefully Canada and
- 47:11Speaker 2: other countries. I think Australia has stuff like this that's
- 47:14Speaker 2: happened as well, will follow suit.
- 47:17Speaker 1: And learn from it.
- 47:17Speaker 2: So anyway, let us know, you guys think about this
- 47:21Speaker 2: one in the comments, and I'm gonna move on to
- 47:24Speaker 2: the next story. Okay, you guys probably remember Big Balls.
- 47:29Speaker 2: You guys remember Big Balls. He was one of the
- 47:31Speaker 2: DOGE employees, So we have a story involving him. During
- 47:36Speaker 2: the early hours and while escorting his significant other to
- 47:41Speaker 2: their cars girlfriend through the Washington d C. Streets of
- 47:44Speaker 2: the Logan Circle area, a young man was accosted by
- 47:48Speaker 2: a group of teens after the teens teens alluded to
- 47:52Speaker 2: wanting to steal their car. The young man was beaten
- 47:55Speaker 2: and bloodied as the teens attacked him, an attack that
- 47:58Speaker 2: only stopped once low law enforcement official stepped in, causing
- 48:02Speaker 2: them to flee. The attacked young man turned out to
- 48:05Speaker 2: be none other than Edward big Ball's Chorustine, famous former
- 48:09Speaker 2: member of Elon Musk's federal DOGE program, which, by the way,
- 48:13Speaker 2: I don't think it's a thing anymore. I mean I
- 48:15Speaker 2: think that they're still like moving to like, you know,
- 48:18Speaker 2: cut back on spending, but DOGE ended up not taking
- 48:22Speaker 2: over like everyone kept fretting about, so must.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Describe what going to do.
- 48:27Speaker 2: Yeah, they did what they said they were going to
- 48:29Speaker 2: do and then they were done. I know, it's wild,
- 48:31Speaker 2: it's like crazy. Let's describe the incident on Twitter slash
- 48:36Speaker 2: x stating quote. A few days ago, a gang of
- 48:39Speaker 2: about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman
- 48:41Speaker 2: in her car at night in DC. An at DOGE
- 48:44Speaker 2: team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her
- 48:48Speaker 2: and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but
- 48:51Speaker 2: he saved her end quote. Former friend of Musk turned
- 48:54Speaker 2: seeming frenemy. President Donald Trump was quick to call for
- 48:58Speaker 2: stricter prosecution of young krem in the District of Columbia
- 49:02Speaker 2: that's Washington, d C for those of you guys who
- 49:04Speaker 2: don't know, stating on his social media platform Truth Social quote.
- 49:07Speaker 2: They are not afraid of law enforcement because they know
- 49:10Speaker 2: nothing ever happens to them. But it's going to happen now.
- 49:13Speaker 2: The law in DC must be changed to prosecute these
- 49:16Speaker 2: miners as adults and lock them up for a long time,
- 49:20Speaker 2: starting at age fourteen. The most recent victim was beaten
- 49:23Speaker 2: mercilessly by local thugs. Washington, d C. Must be safe, clean,
- 49:28Speaker 2: and beautiful for all Americans and importantly for the world
- 49:32Speaker 2: to see. If DC doesn't get its act together and quickly,
- 49:35Speaker 2: we will have no choice but to take federal control
- 49:38Speaker 2: of the city and run this city how it should
- 49:40Speaker 2: be run, and put criminals on notice that they're not
- 49:43Speaker 2: going to get away with it anymore. End quote, which
- 49:45Speaker 2: apparently he's doing as of the last forty eight hours,
- 49:49Speaker 2: President Trump has deployed National Guard to d C as
- 49:52Speaker 2: he pledges to begin a crackdown on crime in the area.
- 49:55Speaker 2: And I wanted to say one more thing to add
- 49:57Speaker 2: on to this, because there's a little bit of confusiontionally.
- 50:00Speaker 2: When the story broke, people thought that Big Balls was
- 50:03Speaker 2: just randomly intervening on behalf of a woman who had
- 50:07Speaker 2: no relation to him and basically got his ass kick
- 50:11Speaker 2: for it. It was his girlfriend. It was a woman
- 50:15Speaker 2: that was with him and these men, these these people,
- 50:18Speaker 2: they were trying to jack his car. So it wasn't
- 50:22Speaker 2: just random white nightery. He was actually like protecting his
- 50:26Speaker 2: girlfriend and his property and that was what. So this
- 50:30Speaker 2: is important context because you know, because there's a lot
- 50:34Speaker 2: of like, you know, is this like Daniel Penny again,
- 50:36Speaker 2: Like no no, it's it's not that. It's not that simple.
- 50:40Speaker 2: So I just wanted to explain the background of that.
- 50:43Speaker 2: So anyway, there you go.
- 50:46Speaker 4: This is one of those where some of the reactions
- 50:49Speaker 4: I saw were kind of bullshit, right because they made
- 50:53Speaker 4: that mistake. They thought that he intervened on behalf of
- 50:56Speaker 4: random people. It wouldn't matter if he had, right, I mean,
- 51:01Speaker 4: if he had, that's not this guy betraying the brotherhood,
- 51:06Speaker 4: and that it's not a moral wrong to intervene on
- 51:13Speaker 4: behalf of people that are under attack and you can
- 51:18Speaker 4: see what's happening. It's not always a good idea. You
- 51:21Speaker 4: can be wrong about who's under attack, like the people
- 51:24Speaker 4: who rescued a woman from a person perse snatcher, only
- 51:28Speaker 4: to discover that she was the perse snatcher and she
- 51:32Speaker 4: had actually stolen his bag. But at the same time,
- 51:39Speaker 4: you know, just because people don't appreciate it doesn't mean
- 51:43Speaker 4: that it's a moral wrong for the individual to do it.
- 51:45Speaker 4: It's an unwise choice. You know, you're not going to
- 51:48Speaker 4: get thanks for it for it, and you might get
- 51:50Speaker 4: in trouble for it, and it's not worth the risk.
- 51:52Speaker 4: No guy should be obligated to do it. And if
- 51:55Speaker 4: a guy does do it and he gets respect for it.
- 52:00Speaker 4: It doesn't mean other guys are obligated to do it.
- 52:03Speaker 4: It means that, you know, society should know better than
- 52:06Speaker 4: to treatment in such a way that they are afraid
- 52:10Speaker 4: to do it, because clearly they do appreciate it on
- 52:14Speaker 4: some level. Right, But that wasn't this situation. And I'm
- 52:19Speaker 4: going to say right now, I don't agree with Trump
- 52:21Speaker 4: on this. I don't think the solution to youth crime
- 52:26Speaker 4: is incarceration as a punishment because kids don't get to
- 52:32Speaker 4: the point where they are carjacking at the age of
- 52:35Speaker 4: fourteen on their own. They don't raise themselves to be
- 52:39Speaker 4: that way. They get that way because they have not
- 52:43Speaker 4: been raised. They get that way because every adult in
- 52:47Speaker 4: their life has failed them. And I think that you know,
- 52:53Speaker 4: as as a parent myself, this is on the parents.
- 53:00Speaker 4: And if parents had to face repercussions instead of their
- 53:02Speaker 4: kids when their kids commit crimes, there would be quite
- 53:08Speaker 4: a bit more effort among parents to ensure that their
- 53:12Speaker 4: kids are better behaved. When you see teenagers engaging in
- 53:18Speaker 4: these types of crimes, you are probably looking at somebody
- 53:22Speaker 4: who was raised without a father, who was allowed to
- 53:26Speaker 4: run wild, who has no good role models in their lives.
- 53:31Speaker 4: They've attended school systems where the teachers are not allowed
- 53:35Speaker 4: to use any kind of effective discipline. And I'm not
- 53:39Speaker 4: just talking about, you know, corporal punishment. I'm talking about
- 53:44Speaker 4: every time the kid gets a detention, the mom threatens
- 53:47Speaker 4: to sue the school, because I've seen that happen with kids.
- 53:51Speaker 4: I went to school with kids whose parents did that,
- 53:53Speaker 4: and they ended up just like this. And instead of
- 53:59Speaker 4: putting them into a juvenile detention facility where they're going
- 54:03Speaker 4: to get raped by the female guards, because that happens
- 54:06Speaker 4: quite a bit, I researched and wrote about that. If
- 54:09Speaker 4: you want to read about it, it is in the Honey
- 54:12Speaker 4: Badger Brigade blog. If you go through my articles will
- 54:14Speaker 4: find it. These kids actually need to go through behavioral programs.
- 54:21Speaker 1: They need to be.
- 54:23Speaker 4: Just as much removed from the home and maybe just
- 54:26Speaker 4: as much institutionalized as they would be if they were incarcerated.
- 54:30Speaker 4: But the facility shouldn't be like a jail. It should
- 54:34Speaker 4: be much closer to a mental health facility for people
- 54:38Speaker 4: who have committed crimes, which isn't very similar at all
- 54:41Speaker 4: to a mental health facility for people who ask for
- 54:44Speaker 4: help when they needed it. There's a big difference. You're
- 54:48Speaker 4: still locked up, you're still treated as a threat, you're
- 54:51Speaker 4: still perceived as somebody who has done something wrong. But
- 54:56Speaker 4: the attitude toward the individual who is doing doing these
- 55:01Speaker 4: things isn't you should have known better, it's we're going
- 55:08Speaker 4: to help you do better. When you get out of here,
- 55:10Speaker 4: You're not going to do this kind of thing again.
- 55:13Speaker 4: You're going to get on with your life and become
- 55:17Speaker 4: somebody who works within your community to earn your own
- 55:20Speaker 4: living and support yourself and become a productive citizen. Right,
- 55:27Speaker 4: that is what needs to happen. And unfortunately, neither the
- 55:32Speaker 4: Democrats nor the Republicans cares enough about the children of
- 55:38Speaker 4: this country.
- 55:39Speaker 1: To do that.
- 55:41Speaker 4: Instead, both of them talk in different ways about being
- 55:45Speaker 4: tough on crime. The Democrats talk about being tough on
- 55:48Speaker 4: crime as if it is somehow racist, and the Republicans
- 55:52Speaker 4: talk about being tough on crime as if by bringing
- 55:56Speaker 4: down the hammer you solve all of the wrong lessons,
- 56:01Speaker 4: all of the bad training, all of the problems that
- 56:04Speaker 4: have been dumped on these underage kids. And I'm not saying, oh,
- 56:08Speaker 4: they don't know any better. I'm saying they don't know
- 56:10Speaker 4: how to be any better because nobody ever taught them.
- 56:16Speaker 4: And this isn't gonna do it either, Mike.
- 56:23Speaker 1: Did you want to say anything?
- 56:24Speaker 4: Yes?
- 56:26Speaker 3: On quite another point, it's gonna be so funny if
- 56:30Speaker 3: World War III has its equivalent of us stook Franz Ferdinand,
- 56:36Speaker 3: the assassination that starts the chain reaction that leads to
- 56:42Speaker 3: World War and that man's name is Big Balls. Is
- 56:49Speaker 3: this gonna be what the history books will have to
- 56:52Speaker 3: break it down to, like how did it happen? Well,
- 56:55Speaker 3: the Democrats went full communist. They punished the law of
- 57:00Speaker 3: for the actions of the criminals, and then they flooded
- 57:04Speaker 3: the country with criminals. It reached an inevitable boiling point.
- 57:08Speaker 3: And then they got big Balls. They got what now,
- 57:12Speaker 3: big balls. They took down Big Balls, and that was
- 57:16Speaker 3: the straw that broke the camel's back and justice rippled
- 57:21Speaker 3: across the country like way, way, wait, wait, what is
- 57:24Speaker 3: Big Balls? A person's name, yes, a person's real name. No. No,
- 57:31Speaker 3: his real name was Edward Chorustine. But everyone calls him
- 57:35Speaker 3: big Balls because you know it's so meme worthy. Why
- 57:40Speaker 3: wouldn't It's like typhoid Mary, Nobody remembers her real surname.
- 57:45Speaker 3: It's not important. What she did was important in her case,
- 57:50Speaker 3: it was giving typhoid to a shitload of people. But
- 57:53Speaker 3: what Big Balls did was well, he called himself Big Balls.
- 57:59Speaker 3: He worked Doge, yes, but loads of people work for Doge.
- 58:03Speaker 3: What this guy did was called himself Big Boss. And
- 58:07Speaker 3: then he turned himself into a pickle. Funniest shit I've
- 58:09Speaker 3: ever seen, I I see? And is this why the
- 58:15Speaker 3: infamous leader of the East Asian Rebellion of twenty forty
- 58:19Speaker 3: five was called four twenty Blazer XX sixty nine xx. Yes, yes,
- 58:27Speaker 3: welcome to history in the twenty first century.
- 58:30Speaker 1: It was.
- 58:31Speaker 3: It was an interesting time to be alive, and it is,
- 58:35Speaker 3: and gentlemen, for that we can be thankful, even though
- 58:39Speaker 3: it's a it's it's hideous and terrifying and sad and
- 58:44Speaker 3: rather foul smelling. I mean, at least we've got stuff
- 58:48Speaker 3: to talk about week in week out, all day, every day.
- 58:53Speaker 3: There's something somewhere to be talked about, isn't it wonderful?
- 58:57Speaker 3: I know our civilization is crumbling for our very eyes,
- 59:01Speaker 3: and there's nothing we could do about it. But at
- 59:03Speaker 3: least we get to talk about it. At least we
- 59:06Speaker 3: get to fiddle while roam burns. At least we get
- 59:10Speaker 3: to play a string quartet on on on the dying
- 59:15Speaker 3: ashes of the Titanic. Hello, future historians, if you ever
- 59:21Speaker 3: hear this, it wasn't that bad. I mean, it was
- 59:25Speaker 3: that bad. But whatever, it wasn't I can't seem to
- 59:30Speaker 3: make a decision, And perhaps that was the problem all along,
- 59:37Speaker 3: Doctor Random Mcammon's Knew Radio.
- 59:43Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean just again, you know, I don't
- 59:48Speaker 2: think that you can legislate mothers letting fathers, but I
- 59:54Speaker 2: mean you can, like change the laws so that you can,
- 59:56Speaker 2: you know, basically like.
- 59:58Speaker 1: Put you You can't.
- 59:59Speaker 4: You can't legislate mothers having fathers in the home, but
- 1:00:02Speaker 4: you can you can penalize parents for their kids' crimes.
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: They've done it in the right past. They do it
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: with delinquency if you're they do it not delinquency, but truancy.
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: If your child doesn't go to the school, and you know,
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: the schools worked very hard to maintain that because they
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: don't get money from the federal government for students that
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: don't attend.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Well, I know I get all that, but I'm saying,
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: even if they change all that, now those kids I mean,
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: why not even really sure we know their teens. That
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily mean they're like under eighteen. They could be
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: like close to our age.
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: The age that was stated was fourteen.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Okay, how many of them we do.
- 1:00:47Speaker 4: Well, we don't know. But when they're talking about trying
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: miners as adults, they're not talking about eighteen year olds.
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: Eighteen year olds are already tried as adults. So they're
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: talking about kids who are under the age of eighteen
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: and trying them as an adults. And the reason we
- 1:01:00Speaker 4: try them is minors. The reason we try miners differently
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: than we try adults is the same reason why miners
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: can't consent to sex, why miners can't sign a contract
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: without parental permission, is because their brains are not developed
- 1:01:17Speaker 4: enough to make decisions as effectively as adults. And either
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: we recognize that and we are consistent on it, and
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: we recognize that an individual who is fourteen years old
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: does not have the same process by which they make
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: it the decision to commit a crime. There are steps
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: missing because they don't have that full brain development, or
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: they do have the same. Either we accept that or
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: we don't, and it either we start allowing them to
- 1:01:50Speaker 4: drive and buy alcohol and sign up for the military
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: and sign contracts and all that, or we recognize that
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: under the age of eighteen, there are things that we
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: can do to assist there's a level of plasticity in
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: the brain at that age that we can we can
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: use to help that individual straighten their shit out, even
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: though their parents didn't and their educators didn't and the
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: elders in their neighborhood didn't, or we start treating them
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: all the way as adults right period.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree. I'm just saying that, like what
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: is what has happened in this specific case has happened.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: Like I think that that's got to be like a
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: bit of a longer game.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: That's so that's all I'm saying, Like, you can't just
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: fix that.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: But like right now, there's and I think that he's
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: I don't think he's talking.
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: About about legislation to charge young people as adults. And
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: it's not talking about legislation to change the system to
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: uh prevent recidivism in young people, right He's just talking
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: about charge. So what he's gonna do is take him
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: from the JDC system and put them in the adult jail.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: System.
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: If he does that, it is absolutely wrong. It's not
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: going to help them, it's not going to help the community.
- 1:03:17Speaker 4: It is going to increase recidivism.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: Okay, well yeah, that I mean, I I see what
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: you're saying. I think that it's probably to deter because
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: the thing is Washington, d C. Historically is very like
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: soft on crime, and I think that it's sort of
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: encouraged this. And he's saying we're gonna we're gonna invert that, right,
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: and uh, And I I hope it doesn't. What I
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: hope is that it will create a chilling effect where
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: people are like, well, I guess we can't break laws anymore,
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: so let's try not to do that, you know. But
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean I think that ultimately there's got
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: to be a social and cultural change. And but I
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: don't think you can simply, you know, legislate this away.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: And that's kind of like we're kind of on the
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: same page with that. And I did get a super
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: chat from ZARANX who gave us five dollars and said,
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: legislate fathers in the homes by getting government out of marriage,
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: family and children. The hardest thing to do is probably
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: the very thing to try. Yeah, So I mean again,
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: you can't just like executive order that and to play,
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: and it's gonna get a lot of pushback and it
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: probably won't get a lot of support from either party,
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: so they'll have to like do this another way.
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: But I agree that should.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: Be the goal in the long run. So but all right,
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: let us don't you guys think about that one in
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: the comments. Let me see if there's any other super
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: chats super Child's no, no rumble stuff. All right, so
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: we got one more story. We're gonna end on something
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: a little bit hornier. I guess how you look at it.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: So uh.
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: Since July twenty twenty five, I didn't know there was
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: some multiple instances, but there have been six at least
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: six incidents that have disrupted WNBA games where spectators threw neon, green,
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: and purple dildos onto the court, starting with a game
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries. These
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: acts initially linked to a cryptocurrency meme coin group promoting
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: green dildo coin. Yes, that's that's what it is. They
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: has led to arrests, including a twenty three year old
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: in Atlanta and an eighteen year old in Phoenix charged
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: with disorderly conduct and related offensives offenses. Players like Sophie
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: Cunningham and coaches like Cheryl Reeve have condemned the trend
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: as dangerous and disrespectful, citing risks to player safety and
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: ongoing sexism in women's sports. The WNBA has responded with
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: strict measures, including immediate ejections. I almost read that as
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: erections the minimum one year bands and potential felony charges
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: for offenders, while enhancing arena security curb further disruptions. And
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: I just want to make a suggestion, a piece of
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: advice to the to the guys trying to push their
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: cryptocurrency mean coin. I wouldn't go to the WNBA because
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: no one's gonna see it, So maybe go to a
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: bigger game, maybe the actual NBA. But anyway, I thought
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: it was funny. And the funny thing too, is that
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: this came like shortly after a different story that I
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: skipped on, where a bunch of like WNBA players sorted
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: wearing t shirts that basically said that they deserve to
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: get paid the same as the male players.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: I forget.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: I think it was like pay her fare or something
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: like that. I don't really remember.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: So yeah, I.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Mean, look, I will say though, it is probably dangerous
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: to throw things on the court while people are running
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: back and forth, So I'm not like, you know, I
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: think that that is seriously a risk, and I don't
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: I'm not in support of that. That being said, this
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: is funny. So anyway, anyway, go let you you guys
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: have any thoughts on this, go ahead.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: I would have thought, and I'm not a fan of sports,
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: never mind female sports, but I would have thought that
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: it's already an objectable offense to throw objects onto the court,
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: especially objects that represent trip hazards. I don't think it's illegal,
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: I would certainly hope not, but I would think it's
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: something that would justify your removal from a private venue
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: in the event that enough witnesses can attest to your guilt.
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: I'm guessing this is the case and always has been
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: the case. But it turns out it's not good enough
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: when it happens to women. If a male team sucks,
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: they get shipped for one of them, you figure out
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: who chucked the ship, and you throw them out, simple ass.
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: But if a female team sucks, and let's face it,
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: they all do, it's not good enough. To punish the
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: people who suck. We need safety nets to prevent the
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: people the people from even doing it. And I hate
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: that the nutshell. When women are in are in charge,
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: disapproval will not be tolerated. It won't even be expressed.
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: We will go out of our way to prevent any
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: disapproval being expressed in the first place, because there is
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: no conceivable reason that anyone would ever complain about women.
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: It must be misogyny when anyone complains about women for
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: any any reason. You think these women suck.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: At sports, Well that's not possible.
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: You just hate women. We think rebooting old franchises by
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: casting women instead of men is a silly idea, Well
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: that's not possible. You just hate women. Replacing men with
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: women is a brilliant idea, I'll have you know. Subsidizing
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: women by stealing from men, it's a brilliant idea. How
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: could you possibly say it isn't unless you're some kind
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: of misogynist. Replacing our own men with men from the
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: third world, it's a brilliant idea. Could how could you
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: possibly say it isn't unless you're some kind of racist.
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: And that's how we got here. Ladies and gentlemen, this
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: is your weekly reminder that the reason your culture is
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: collapsing and being taken over by other cultures is because
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: you left women in charge in charge of it, and women,
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: by and large are more obsessed with what they ha
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: has been said to them five years ago than what
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: a world leader said to them five minutes ago. Putting
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: women in charge will give.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: You relational aggression.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: Aggression in a domestic environment, that's that's part of the course.
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: A domestic environment must hold itself to high standards regulated
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: within itself, but a national environment must hold other nations
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: to high standards regulated internationally. We cannot let them trample
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: on us. This is not what this story is about,
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: but I'm going there anyway because I don't give much
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: of a fuck about dildo's being thrown onto a basketball court.
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: To me, it seems seems like a joke, like something
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: that could potentially harm people, but function functionally does not.
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: I mean, they even have the decency to throw dildos
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: with neon colors, so at least they're peripherally visible against
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: the wood brown motif of a basketball court.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: If they were.
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: Throwing wood brown colored dildos, I'd be like, all right,
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: that seems malicious, like they're trying to present present trip hazards.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: But if it's bright green or bright purple, and well,
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: it's like, okay, cool, but at least it's obviously about
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: sending a message rather than endangering anyone. By the way,
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: is it a coincidence that they're green and purple? A
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: lot of you zoomers won't get the reference, but bright
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: green and bright purple where the official colors of colors
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: of Gamagate. And it goes back even further than that.
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: It's Look, there's a place called four chan. There was,
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: and you know I don't have time to get into it.
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: Please do look it up and browse the content and
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: at your leisure. I just think it's funny. I I
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: like to think there's something mystical, mystical about the combination
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: of purple and green. It's so obviously ugly. The punk
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: Revolution was famously adorned with neon colors too, even pink
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: and yellow and that electric blue that's so ubiquitous now.
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: But the Gamagate Revolution had to make itself distinct, distinct
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: from the rainbow, the gay rainbow, which culturally appropriated all
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: the neon colors and turned it into their flag, but
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: they would never dream of using green and purple, because
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: green and purple are so complementary that they're not even complementary.
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: They look awful together. Imagine a bathroom where the wolves
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: are purple and the bath is green and the toilet
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: is green. It would be so esthetically offensive that you
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: would eventually start hallucinating. And yeah, that's where we're at.
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: We've been subjected to political contradictions for so long, We've
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: been subjected to impossible hypocrisy for so long that the
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: flag we have to wave in distress, it's not just
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: upside down, it's purple and green. It's surely a universal
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: sign of distress. There are no national flags that are
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: made of purple and green. Well, funnily enough.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: They're away Keikistan.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: There are no national flags featuring purple.
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: There.
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: There's only three, i think, and they're all just a
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: small part of an emblem, of a coat of arms
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: or something. Of all the flags in the world, even
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: the ones that are just three colors, no one has
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: ever used purple as one of those colors. Purple, for
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: whatever reason, is not a sign of pride. It's a
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: sign of distress. When they throw the green dil doos.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: It's all in good fun. But when they throw the
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: purple del dos, shit just got real. Remember Remember how
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: much sense it makes All the shit I've just been saying.
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: I know it just sounds random, and it is random
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: is my middle name. But remember it is random because
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: I'm just talking stupid shit to entertain you. Remember that,
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: remember everything, or don't. I don't even remember what I
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: just said. Good night everyone, I'm going for a cigarette.
- 1:14:58Speaker 4: Well will you go for a cigarette? I'm going to
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: point out something else, right, this this, this turned out
- 1:15:03Speaker 4: to be like this big fury over. This was was
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: amazing that the thing that sort of fuels the desire
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: to do these types of pranks was done in in uh,
- 1:15:21Speaker 4: you know, great amounts.
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: This was.
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: This was covered by all kinds of news agencies. This
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: was there was a big deal made of this. This
- 1:15:29Speaker 4: was the people who did it got all kinds of attention,
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: and you know, the arrest that occurred in everything. I
- 1:15:37Speaker 4: bet they got you know, people that had only ever
- 1:15:41Speaker 4: thrown one, and there were other people that didn't get caught.
- 1:15:46Speaker 4: But it's the this story is told as if this
- 1:15:50Speaker 4: was something that has never been done before, this kind
- 1:15:53Speaker 4: of thing has never happened before, and it's only being
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: done because the w n b A is women and
- 1:16:00Speaker 4: they don't respect the women, and it's it's about going
- 1:16:03Speaker 4: after the women. How dare they? But there have been
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: disruptions at NBA games that have made the news over time,
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: for for years and years and years. Remember years ago
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: there was a big fight on the court at one
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: point that that disrupted the game. But in more recent
- 1:16:23Speaker 4: years there was a player that got spat on, and
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: I think that when they made a bit of a
- 1:16:29Speaker 4: racial thing out of it, but but not it didn't.
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: It didn't hit hard enough to get a lot of
- 1:16:36Speaker 4: people's attention. But objects like like mic set objects get
- 1:16:40Speaker 4: thrown on the court all the time, just not necessarily dildo's,
- 1:16:43Speaker 4: But there have been full water bottles thrown at players,
- 1:16:46Speaker 4: so it's it's not so much a prank as it
- 1:16:50Speaker 4: is an attack. If you have somebody throw a water
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: bottle from up in the stands and it hits somebody
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: in the head, it can actually give them a concussion.
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: There have been you know, popcorn dumped out there and
- 1:17:02Speaker 4: candy dumped out there. Things that have to be the
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: game stop, has to be stopped, and they have to
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: clean it up. A lot of lude remarks, racial slurs,
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: all kinds of stuff. There have been fans that have
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: been banned for yelling like all kinds of nasty things
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: at players and sexually explicit things, all kinds of stuff
- 1:17:23Speaker 4: like that. There have been streakers, and the practice of
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: streaking at athletic events is so long standing and so
- 1:17:37Speaker 4: well known. There is a song about it called the Streak,
- 1:17:41Speaker 4: and I believe the setting in the song is a
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: basketball game, probably not a NBA game, but in any case,
- 1:17:54Speaker 4: like these kind of things, even though they're stupid and
- 1:17:58Speaker 4: the people who do them are definitely, you know, society
- 1:18:03Speaker 4: not sending its best. It's it's not unique at all
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: that this happened to the women. And one of the
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: reasons that I put this in our chat was it's
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: funny obviously throwing dildos on the court, but the upset
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: over it, treating it as though it's different, this time,
- 1:18:28Speaker 4: it's special, this time, it's unique, this time it's no,
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: it's not, it's it's pretty much power for the course,
- 1:18:34Speaker 4: and it's just another example of, you know, an environment
- 1:18:40Speaker 4: that when something is over the top, it's over the
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: top toward men in a masculine way, and it's dealt
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: with in a masculine way, and then and and the
- 1:18:52Speaker 4: men involved move on. As soon as you get women
- 1:18:55Speaker 4: into that environment, it becomes a whole different thing, different ballgames,
- 1:19:00Speaker 4: so to speak. Uh, and and now that it's it's
- 1:19:05Speaker 4: treated like it's a gender based attack, when in fact
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: you know it's it's not. Hell and and uh, just
- 1:19:14Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, there was an incident that
- 1:19:17Speaker 4: I remember being reported where some animal rights group glued
- 1:19:23Speaker 4: their hands to the court at a game, chained themselves
- 1:19:28Speaker 4: to the baskets, ran out onto the court, very disruptive.
- 1:19:31Speaker 4: They had to get them out of there in order
- 1:19:35Speaker 4: to have the game. And even that like that was
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: much more disruptive than this. It didn't involve stopping the
- 1:19:43Speaker 4: game for a couple of seconds to get the offending
- 1:19:46Speaker 4: device off of the court. There was the great deal
- 1:19:49Speaker 4: more that had to be done to deal with these people,
- 1:19:53Speaker 4: and it wasn't not as big of a deal was
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: made out of that. They weren't even as widely condemned
- 1:19:59Speaker 4: and got their issue talked about. Right, So, yeah, this
- 1:20:05Speaker 4: is this is a women Women can't take what men
- 1:20:09Speaker 4: are expected to take. Women can't handle what men are
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: expected to handle situation, and you know, frankly, I'm not surprised.
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, I just thought it was well
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: funny obviously and a bit preposterous. And you know, Mike
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: made the gamer Gate reference that I intended I'm making.
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: But it's just like disrespect to Vivian. She's just a
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: woman just like you guys. She deserves acknowledgment recognition as well.
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, let me know what you guys
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: think about this one in the comments. I just thought
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: it was funny, so not not really all that offended,
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: but whatever. I you know, they're there. You know what's
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: gonna happen. They're gonna make a big fuss out of
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: it and all that, and hopefully we'll just move on.
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: So all right, anyway, that's all the stories I got
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: for you guys. So we're gonna go into the Patron
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: Show now. We're gonna talk about this article. The Lord
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: of the Rings movies have aged poorly. I'm sure it's
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: gonna be a very productive discussion and there won't be
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: anything cringe in it that will cause us to want
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: to shoot ourselves, you know, but we'll see. So anyway, thanks,
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: guys for coming on the show, and thank you to
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: Mike and Hannah for helping me out with talking about
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: these topics. And yeah, we'll talk to you guys in
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: the next one. Please like, share, subscribe, comment, all that
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: good stuff and see you guys next Tuesday.
