  Testecleese: Hello, and welcome to episode 336 of the Jeffrey and Brian Show. I am Jeffrey.
• 0:38
  Brian McFadden: And I'm Ryan.
• 0:40
  Testecleese: We're just two guys drinking some beers, talk about what's going on.
• 0:45
  Testecleese: Anyone who is listening to this show either probably stumbled across us by accident, or
• 0:50
  Testecleese: This was a joke from a friend of theirs, or they actually, like, listen to us regularly, but…
• 0:55
  Testecleese: Yeah, we just talked about the news cycle.
• 0:58
  Testecleese: Lately it's been kind of boring, but the, the elections have given us some, some stuff going on to talk about, I guess.
• 1:06
  Testecleese: But we also have some stuff that we, follow up on as we do,
• 1:11
  Testecleese: Try to keep up on the stuff that we've covered before.
• 1:14
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:15
  Testecleese: Well, Brian, we recently talked about how, All the environmental agencies
• 1:22
  Testecleese: Finally came out and said that their predictions for the end of the world are not accurate.
• 1:29
  Testecleese: And well, apparently Biden… not… yeah, Biden, oh my god.
• 1:34
  Testecleese: Trump has shut something down? What is it? Ocean monitoring system? What exactly is that? Is that, like, temperature and current?
• 1:41
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's a climate change thing.
• 1:44
  Testecleese: And let me guess, nothing has changed, out of the ordinary in the last, 30 years.
• 1:50
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:53
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 1:54
  Testecleese: Don't get me wrong, I think climate change is a real thing, but I think the climate is always changing.
• 1:59
  Testecleese: We're still on our way out of a mini ice age, which would account for a lot of this global warming, too.
• 2:05
  Testecleese: But, it's tough to see, actually see, quote, global warming.
• 2:10
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:11
  Testecleese: Because it's not happening fast enough for you to notice year over year, if it… they're saying it's at, like, less than a tenth of a degree a year or something. Like, what they said in, like.
• 2:20
  Testecleese: Thousand years, it'll be up by, like, one degree or something.
• 2:23
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:24
  Testecleese: It's like, I would think in a thousand years, we would have solved this problem by then.
• 2:28
  Testecleese: And now they're saying even that model's not accurate, like, yeah, okay, it's not nearly as bad as we thought.
• 2:35
  Testecleese: I'm not sure what I think of the ocean monitoring system's shutting that down, though, Brian.
• 2:41
  Testecleese: That might be able to help us predict weather patterns before they're gonna occur.
• 2:46
  Brian McFadden: True.
• 2:48
  Testecleese: But, what do I know, I'm no meteorologist.
• 2:53
  Testecleese: Bolton!
• 2:55
  Testecleese: Plat out.
• 2:57
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, he had to. He was looking at an awful lot of time in prison. Even with his plea deal, he's looking at at least up to 5 years.
• 3:05
  Testecleese: Now, John Bolton used to work for Trump. What was his job?
• 3:09
  Testecleese: Besides War Hunt…
• 3:10
  Brian McFadden: He was the UN… UN Secretary.
• 3:14
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 3:15
  Testecleese: And this is one of the guys who turned on Trump and tried to put him in prison for the, classified documents.
• 3:21
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 3:22
  Testecleese: Yeah, and then he gets busted with it, just like Joe Biden. Except this guy's actually gonna face consequences.
• 3:28
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 3:29
  Testecleese: Which, don't get me wrong.
• 3:31
  Testecleese: John deserves it, but I think the sheer fact that they said we can't prosecute Joe Biden for this crime because he's a dodgering old man who doesn't know what he's doing…
• 3:40
  Testecleese: Should have been enough right there to say, let's not run him for president. You know? You know, what do I know?
• 3:46
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 3:48
  Testecleese: Oh!
• 3:51
  Testecleese: Don Lemon's thing with the church, who was that, in Minnesota?
• 3:57
  Testecleese: Well, anyone who doesn't remember… oh, go ahead, Brian.
• 4:00
  Brian McFadden: His notoriety works for his favor again, you know?
• 4:04
  Testecleese: Yeah, they busted into a, a mass.
• 4:07
  Testecleese: intimidated everyone there, scared the crap out of them, because I thought they were all about to be killed.
• 4:13
  Testecleese: And,
• 4:15
  Testecleese: no charges were brought up, even though this is the same law they're using, the FACE Act, the same law that protects people from doing that in an abortion clinic.
• 4:23
  Testecleese: protects these, congregants in this church, but it was ignored because it was a church. Meanwhile, we're hearing about people standing outside of abortion clinics praying getting arrested.
• 4:32
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 4:34
  Testecleese: interesting stuff. Of course, nothing's gonna happen in Minnesota.
• 4:39
  Testecleese: state charges.
• 4:41
  Testecleese: Federal government could… In theory, press charges, or… Because it's, Religious institution, right?
• 4:50
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Testecleese: I just… I don't know if that's something that, we would see or not, maybe…
• 4:58
  Testecleese: This new guy, they got in charge of, intelligence
• 5:04
  Testecleese: What's the… can you remember the dude's name?
• 5:07
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 5:08
  Testecleese: No, I wanna say Blanche, or Blatt.
• 5:11
  Testecleese: Something like that. Anyway, he was the guy in charge of, like, mortgages and stuff, and, you know, like, oh, what's the big deal? Like, why is this guy a great choice? He's the one who actually got cases brought up against people for mortgage fraud.
• 5:23
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 5:24
  Testecleese: So, I mean, he actually went through this up and found it.
• 5:28
  Testecleese: he got, what, Leticia James and,
• 5:32
  Testecleese: Oh, jeez, another Democrat who accused Trump of the same thing.
• 5:37
  Testecleese: Yeah, but they're… Holy shit.
• 5:39
  Brian McFadden: James is fighting her, fighting her charges, so…
• 5:42
  Testecleese: Of course she is.
• 5:44
  Testecleese: Of course she is, but they're registering themselves in a different state than they
• 5:48
  Testecleese: Okay, to hold these congressional seats, they have to have their primary residence be in the congressional district. Right. These folks are buying houses in, like, Northern Virginia, so they can stay there when they're working at Congress.
• 6:02
  Testecleese: But they're writing it off as the primary home to get lower mortgage rates, which is mortgage fraud.
• 6:08
  Testecleese: The same thing they, tried Trump for in New York.
• 6:13
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 6:16
  Testecleese: Alright, you shared this one about the…
• 6:19
  Testecleese: It's not the… is it the current mayor or the prior mayor that said this about the Bears?
• 6:24
  Brian McFadden: I thought it was the current mayor, but I could be wrong.
• 6:27
  Testecleese: Brandon Johnson, okay, yep, new, same, current guy.
• 6:32
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, he said that… He doesn't like going to Bears games, because it takes all day.
• 6:38
  Brian McFadden: to… get to the game and get back from home from the game. It's a total day out.
• 6:44
  Testecleese: Yeah, he admitted to, leaving the game early to try to beat the traffic on the way out, which just leads more credence to…
• 6:50
  Testecleese: They need a new stadium, period, and they can't do that in Chicago.
• 6:55
  Brian McFadden: Right, and there was another announcement.
• 6:58
  Brian McFadden: On here that.
• 7:00
  Testecleese: made.
• 7:01
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 7:03
  Brian McFadden: the people in charge of the Chicago Bears have… board of directors are starting to advance the Indiana deal.
• 7:10
  Brian McFadden: So, they're gonna be looking for property in Indiana, and it looks like the bears will be moving next door to Indiana.
• 7:19
  Testecleese: Well… I mean…
• 7:21
  Testecleese: How many times can you poke the bear before you, expect it to strike, you know what I mean?
• 7:26
  Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
• 7:27
  Testecleese: Pardon the obvious pun.
• 7:32
  Testecleese: Alright. Oh, and you shared this one. We… we covered something about this before, how, the SPLC, Southern Poverty Law Center.
• 7:42
  Testecleese: funded some of the, Charlotte Charlotte or Charlottesville?
• 7:49
  Testecleese: I can't remember which one it was. Charlottesville?
• 7:51
  Brian McFadden: Charlesville.
• 7:52
  Testecleese: Okay, okay. They're different cities.
• 7:56
  Testecleese: They're… what'd they call them? The tiki?
• 8:00
  Testecleese: riots, or the… I don't know, whatever.
• 8:02
  Testecleese: But they were the ones who funded people to show up with, Ku Klux Klan stuff, and… and organized… they got all… found all the white supremacists in the country.
• 8:11
  Testecleese: And according to this article you shared, Brian, is not only did they organize this shit, but they've been funding and keeping these organizations afloat for…
• 8:19
  Testecleese: Many, many years.
• 8:20
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 8:22
  Brian McFadden: And that's worse than, you know…
• 8:25
  Brian McFadden: How well talking about the organization, so…
• 8:29
  Testecleese: Well, yeah, how… how is the SPLC going to… Bring in any money.
• 8:34
  Testecleese: If they… Finish their mission.
• 8:40
  Testecleese: You know?
• 8:41
  Testecleese: So they're convincing people… I mean, they're paying… apparently they're paying for wood and fuel for cross-burnings. I didn't realize this shit actually was happening. I thought this was a handful of wackadoos across… but apparently they're, like, still doing annual cross burnings.
• 8:57
  Testecleese: As, like, some ceremony?
• 9:01
  Testecleese: And the very people… the very people who are famous for basically bankrupting the Ku Klux Klan are now reviving it and funding it.
• 9:09
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 9:11
  Testecleese: My goodness, why isn't this bigger news? Are we… does this have to go… get to the court before people rise? Because they're being brought up on charges for this now.
• 9:19
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 9:21
  Testecleese: Which, what charges are they, anyway? Like, fraud?
• 9:24
  Brian McFadden: I think so.
• 9:26
  Testecleese: Because, I mean, really, is it illegal for them to give money to a hate group?
• 9:31
  Brian McFadden: No, I don't think it's illegal, but they… I think they misrepresented themselves.
• 9:37
  Testecleese: Yes, exactly, that would be the fraud aspect of it. They told everyone else that we're gonna go fight hate when they're actually…
• 9:43
  Testecleese: Creating it and spreading it.
• 9:48
  Testecleese: Jeez, man, like, why don't you just take the W and go find another cause to fight for, you know? Or, check this out, take the W and go back to work.
• 9:58
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 10:00
  Testecleese: You know, they call themselves non-profit organizations, but that doesn't mean the people that are working there and running the thing aren't getting paid by that company. It just means the company's not paying taxes.
• 10:10
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, Goodwill's a non-profit, too, and look at how much the CEO for Goodwill makes.
• 10:15
  Testecleese: disabled veterans, whatever it is there, the DAV.
• 10:20
  Testecleese: That's a… that's a non-profit, but you have to pay money when you walk in the door to get any of that shit, right?
• 10:25
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Brian McFadden: But I don't think their CEO makes 6 figures at DAV.
• 10:30
  Testecleese: Maybe, but I don't know. He's probably got a lot of locations he's ultimately responsible for, but there's a good chance that he's not.
• 10:38
  Brian McFadden: Goodwill does that, though. Goodwill, they make over $100,000 a year as CEO.
• 10:43
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, I mean, there's a lot of goodwills out there, too, let's be 100% honest, and there is still a CEO job.
• 10:50
  Testecleese: You have to pay him comparable, or else that guy won't come and do that job.
• 10:54
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 10:55
  Testecleese: But, but again.
• 10:57
  Testecleese: Goodwill's really not going away, because there's always gonna be people donating stuff that someone else can sell at a massive discount.
• 11:04
  Testecleese: Yeah. Like, if they actually eliminated hate, these people can no longer keep their six-figure jobs.
• 11:10
  Testecleese: So they manufacture it.
• 11:15
  Testecleese: Despicable, dude.
• 11:18
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 11:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, I heard about this from everybody. I don't follow CBS, let alone… 60 minutes.
• 11:27
  Testecleese: Scott Pelly, I guess, is a big deal.
• 11:33
  Testecleese: I, I, I don't know about…
• 11:36
  Testecleese: I don't think I've ever heard the name before. Just like when they… they shut down their… they did their last broad… radio broadcast, like, last week.
• 11:43
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 11:43
  Testecleese: I was like, I don't care. You know, actually, I said it then, I realized, wait a minute, I'm pretty sure the hour news block I get on my FM radio station, giving me updates, is CBS. I was like, oh, that might be an issue.
• 11:59
  Testecleese: But all you gotta do at that point is put some… your local DJ just read the news out, right?
• 12:03
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 12:04
  Testecleese: And it's the same, you know, you know what I'm talking about when I say the news update. It's like, every… every hour on the 15th or something, they tell you, like, the big deal news going on locally and internationally.
• 12:15
  Testecleese: Not an actual… yeah, for, like, 5 minutes, or 2 minutes.
• 12:19
  Testecleese: But yeah, I guess Barry Weiss has really shaken up CBS, and especially, 60 minutes.
• 12:26
  Testecleese: Didn't some of these people resign?
• 12:29
  Brian McFadden: They threatened to, but I don't think very many people did.
• 12:32
  Brian McFadden: They like their jobs. They like making money.
• 12:36
  Testecleese: I agree, I saw something saying that 3 names I didn't recognize were staying on, but… What is ours?
• 12:42
  Brian McFadden: It's all staying.
• 12:43
  Testecleese: That was one of them I saw, yeah, because I remember thinking steel like the chainsaw.
• 12:48
  Testecleese: but, yeah, I don't know who these people are.
• 12:52
  Testecleese: And when I first heard people were resigning, all I could think was that they're martyring themselves to make it look like they fell under the mighty fist of Trump, you know what I mean?
• 13:04
  Testecleese: Bye.
• 13:05
  Testecleese: We'll see where that ends up, honestly,
• 13:09
  Testecleese: But let's be real, CBS has to change things, especially their news, in particular. What CBS just, canceled, like, 8 shows?
• 13:20
  Testecleese: Or something like that?
• 13:22
  Testecleese: They're getting rid of a lot of this woke stuff, which…
• 13:26
  Brian McFadden: Because nobody was watching it.
• 13:28
  Testecleese: True, but did you notice that these sports teams are bringing back their pride flags?
• 13:33
  Brian McFadden: Not all the… not all of them.
• 13:35
  Testecleese: Correct, but this is something that most of them didn't do last year, and I thought they were at least gonna wait till after the midterm.
• 13:44
  Testecleese: Oh, and this is exactly what we were talking about.
• 13:47
  Testecleese: You know, it's funny, Brian, because…
• 13:49
  Testecleese: when I put these together, I'm like, oh, this conversation will probably naturally flow this way. I don't make an effort for it to happen.
• 13:56
  Testecleese: I just, like, it'll probably go this way. And then the next article here is the Gallup poll showing that support for the LGBTQ plus issues is, sliding backwards.
• 14:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 14:07
  Brian McFadden: A lot less people are supporting it, then…
• 14:10
  Brian McFadden: It's down 6 points from 2023, when it was at 65%.
• 14:15
  Testecleese: Well, it's one thing to say, yeah, cool, do your thing, I don't care. It's another thing for me to have to celebrate your… who you like to have sex with.
• 14:23
  Testecleese: I mean, or what parts you wish you had.
• 14:27
  Testecleese: And they pushed it on us everywhere.
• 14:30
  Testecleese: You know, it's like, I remember seeing a video meme one point.
• 14:34
  Testecleese: And the guy says, okay, here's our new commercial. And it's, like, a white dude, and a black dude, and an Asian dude all making out.
• 14:41
  Testecleese: with each other, like, in a throuple thing. And then the fir- the other guy looks at him and says, yeah, but how's this gonna help us sell cheeseburgers? He goes, cheeseburgers? They're not… they're not trying… these… they're not trying to sell their product.
• 14:54
  Testecleese: They're trying to push their…
• 14:56
  Brian McFadden: A joke.
• 14:57
  Testecleese: Theology. Just like, look at Subaru, they're made with love.
• 15:02
  Testecleese: So, yeah, okay.
• 15:04
  Testecleese: And we're… if there was any vehicle attached to lesbians before, it was already the Subaru, right?
• 15:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Testecleese: Yeah, and they're made with love, and puppies drive them, and everybody, you know, love is love, and we believe in love.
• 15:18
  Testecleese: And… but do you know that Subaru also makes freaking attack helicopters for Japan?
• 15:22
  Brian McFadden: No, I didn't know that.
• 15:24
  Testecleese: Yeah. Like, Rolls-Royce makes, you know, fighter jet engines, for example.
• 15:29
  Testecleese: And folk… and it's just like, they have no idea, they just… they buy into the propaganda instead of…
• 15:36
  Testecleese: Hey, this is a reliable vehicle for you and your family, it's.
• 15:39
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 15:41
  Testecleese: We accept you. Who gives a shit? Do you want the automobile to work right or not?
• 15:49
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. This one was… Definitely.
• 15:50
  Testecleese: This next one was interesting, Brian, about… you shaded from your… your…
• 15:55
  Testecleese: BS report, your daily BS report, About, congress voting?
• 16:02
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they,
• 16:06
  Brian McFadden: There's a bill going through right now that would require Congress to stay in DC and voting every day of the week if there's not a budget.
• 16:17
  Brian McFadden: So basically, they wouldn't get time off on the weekends or anything like that. He's trying to make it more painful for Congress to push through the… that way, they'll actually do the budgets before they expire, so we won't be doing continuing resolutions forever.
• 16:33
  Testecleese: So, do a deadline, like a contractor would do, and if the work's not done, everyone's working overtime until it is done.
• 16:41
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 16:43
  Testecleese: I can agree with that, but how many of these have been brought up about these guys if they don't do a budget?
• 16:49
  Testecleese: Something, you know, something will happen.
• 16:51
  Testecleese: And none of it ever gets passed, because these are the guys who pass these laws.
• 16:56
  Testecleese: Like, I like the one that, if, if a budget isn't reached.
• 17:04
  Testecleese: every member of Congress is up for re-election, next midterm. I liked that one. I was like, that's a good one.
• 17:12
  Testecleese: And then, you know, your constituents get to look at
• 17:15
  Testecleese: Why the hell didn't we sign this, you know?
• 17:20
  Testecleese: There we go, what's going on in Michigan?
• 17:24
  Testecleese: You got some, presidents showing up, I guess.
• 17:27
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, both former President Bill Clinton and George Washington are going to be speaking at Grand Rapids.
• 17:31
  Testecleese: George Washington?
• 17:33
  Brian McFadden: George W. Bush. That'd be better at George.
• 17:36
  Testecleese: But he ain't that old.
• 17:37
  Brian McFadden: That'd be better if it was George Washington.
• 17:41
  Testecleese: Dude, I would go to Michigan, to Grand Rapids, to see George Washington.
• 17:45
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 17:48
  Testecleese: What are they doing?
• 17:51
  Brian McFadden: They're speaking at the, the,
• 17:56
  Brian McFadden: that… that capital community… what's the name of the playing again? Economic Club! They're speaking at the Economic Club.
• 18:05
  Testecleese: Okay, and they're gonna be talking about the economy… oh, so that means they're probably gonna be talking a lot of trash about Trump, then.
• 18:11
  Brian McFadden: It's a private event that will commemorate the club's 50th anniversary, so… yeah, probably. Probably talking trash about Trump.
• 18:20
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 18:22
  Testecleese: We'll get to more of that Trump stuff later concerning, prices to gasoline and such.
• 18:29
  Testecleese: Clark! Okay, what's AJ Nessel?
• 18:33
  Brian McFadden: The Attorney General of the State.
• 18:34
  Testecleese: Oh, oh, AG! Okay, I'm sorry. Attorney General, I shouldn't.
• 18:38
  Brian McFadden: I thought it was energy…
• 18:40
  Testecleese: as…
• 18:40
  Brian McFadden: Consumer Energy asked for a huge price increase last year, and they got it.
• 18:45
  Brian McFadden: And now, they're asking for another 146… $456 million rate hike request, one year after they did the last one, huge one.
• 18:57
  Testecleese: Did they have any justification for this?
• 18:59
  Brian McFadden: Oh, they're saying they're doing infant software improvements, they're putting more lines underground… But…
• 19:06
  Brian McFadden: We can't afford it! Energy is a heck of a lot more expensive in Michigan than it is in Virginia.
• 19:14
  Testecleese: Believe it, buddy.
• 19:15
  Brian McFadden: Like, we got more data centers in Michigan already than some of the other states do.
• 19:19
  Testecleese: True, but maybe instead of asking for a rate increase on everyone, why don't they ask for a grant from the government to put the lines underground? Because that's safer and more reliable.
• 19:31
  Testecleese: That sounds like something that… because then they could do it right away and not have to wait till the money came in, and it wouldn't get… it would… yes, it would get passed on to the consumer, but your poorest people that have trouble paying electricity anyway wouldn't have as big an issue.
• 19:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 19:44
  Testecleese: I'm like, I'm wondering if this is something that's been brought up.
• 19:47
  Testecleese: Or maybe that's their next step if they can't get it done this way.
• 19:51
  Testecleese: Power lines underground's a big deal, especially up here in the mountains, dude.
• 19:56
  Testecleese: These power… these…
• 19:58
  Testecleese: Poles get hit all the time, and if they do, power goes up for miles, for, like, sometimes a week, you know?
• 20:05
  Brian McFadden: Power was out for 2 hours this morning.
• 20:08
  Brian McFadden: Here.
• 20:08
  Testecleese: We had power out yesterday for a couple hours, which is weird.
• 20:14
  Testecleese: And, oh my god, I've explained this to the mother-in-law, like, 6 times. Don't run your water when power's out. She goes, no, it'll work, like, no, you're not on city water.
• 20:23
  Testecleese: You don't just have pressure on your water line, you're gonna take it out of the pump system, and now we're gonna have to prime the pump again. Every time, and power goes out.
• 20:33
  Testecleese: every month or so, for something dumb or another. You know, someone hit a pole or something, versus, you know, wrecked it.
• 20:42
  Testecleese: Every single time she does this, and I have to go over there and show her how to reset her pump again, because she doesn't know how to do it. I've even written it down and put instructions on it.
• 20:51
  Testecleese: And I'm just like, oh my god, it's like, just stop! Because it's like, you turn the valve, you know, you get water for, like, 2 seconds, and there's no water. And now your entire pump system doesn't work right.
• 21:00
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 21:02
  Testecleese: Are you on Will or City?
• 21:04
  Brian McFadden: Whoa.
• 21:05
  Testecleese: Okay, so you know what I'm talking about, then.
• 21:08
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 21:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, and you know, you gotta turn there and turn that little… almost looks like an Allen screw a couple times.
• 21:16
  Testecleese: Anyway, anyway… Jesus Christ, dude, I… No.
• 21:24
  Testecleese: Grand Rapids and Coldwater are both cities I've heard of in Michigan.
• 21:29
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, this one was crazy. They blocked both sides of the road, both of the highway, to land a life flight helicopter to take the guy on the lawnmower.
• 21:39
  Brian McFadden: off.
• 21:41
  Testecleese: The guy was on a lawnmower and got hit by a semi, then a helicopter came and took him out.
• 21:45
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 21:48
  Testecleese: Did he survive?
• 21:49
  Brian McFadden: I haven't heard.
• 21:50
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and I haven't heard any follow-ups on the story, yeah.
• 21:54
  Testecleese: What was he doing on the interstate?
• 21:58
  Testecleese: On a loop.
• 21:59
  Brian McFadden: But he does. No, he worked for the state. He was mowing the side of the highway.
• 22:04
  Testecleese: Oh, he was mowing… so wait, this truck went off-road.
• 22:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, probably because the guy was on his phone or something, not paying attention.
• 22:14
  Testecleese: Oh, I thought this was some guy who thought I wasn't drunk driving if he.
• 22:17
  Brian McFadden: No, no.
• 22:19
  Brian McFadden: This was a state worker.
• 22:21
  Testecleese: So, yeah, it wasn't even, like, in the middle of the night.
• 22:24
  Testecleese: With… on a lawnmower.
• 22:25
  Brian McFadden: What happened at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
• 22:27
  Testecleese: Yeah, with flashing lights and signs and everything, right?
• 22:32
  Testecleese: Because you know as well as I, they put signs up and, you know, road work ahead and all that stuff.
• 22:38
  Testecleese: Jeez Louise, got hit by a semi.
• 22:42
  Testecleese: This dude survives, man, he's gotta go and start doing interviews about what a frickin' badass he is.
• 22:47
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 22:49
  Testecleese: You know, it sounds crazy, but maybe being thrown clear of the wreckage as soon as it was hit might have saved his life.
• 22:56
  Testecleese: Instead of being strapped to the mower, you know what I mean?
• 22:58
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 23:00
  Testecleese: I don't know. I don't know what kind of mowers in either. For all I know, the thing had a roll cage and crumpled into pieces around them in a… you know what I mean? Because they might have anticipated something like this.
• 23:10
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 23:14
  Testecleese: this is finally starting to affect me. I didn't even hear about this until, this week, but…
• 23:20
  Testecleese: Some of the delivery companies that deliver beer… actually, one beer delivery company is on strike.
• 23:27
  Testecleese: And apparently they're in their fourth week right now.
• 23:32
  Testecleese: And it's my brand of beer, and the other beer I like that might cost a little more.
• 23:40
  Testecleese: is also this distributor, and the one I like that costs a little more than that is also this distributor.
• 23:46
  Brian McFadden: Alright, you got a problem.
• 23:47
  Testecleese: Yeah, Mill…
• 23:48
  Brian McFadden: We're gonna be drinking bud. We might get money from Ray, Ron.
• 23:51
  Testecleese: That's actually what I thought, too. I was like, should I buy the Bud Light? So, well, so I drove to a different gas station instead of the one near me.
• 23:59
  Brian McFadden: Nuh-
• 24:00
  Testecleese: And they still had, like, 630 racks there, and I was like, oh, so I'm…
• 24:03
  Brian McFadden: Goodbye.
• 24:04
  Testecleese: I almost bought all 6, honestly, but I was like, if they're still here, chances are I'm the only one buying them.
• 24:12
  Brian McFadden: And I can imagine the wife would say something if she showed up with 6.30 rags.
• 24:16
  Testecleese: Actually, I told her that they were boycotting delivery. She would understand, actually.
• 24:20
  Testecleese: She'd be upset, because she's like, you're just gonna go through it.
• 24:25
  Testecleese: But yeah, it's actually starting to affect me, because the gas station near me doesn't have it anymore.
• 24:30
  Testecleese: so I gotta drive an extra, 10 minutes.
• 24:35
  Testecleese: All the way across the entire city.
• 24:40
  Testecleese: Which is funny, it's actually… it's from outside the city through the city, on the other… outside the city on the other side, where the next gas station is.
• 24:49
  Testecleese: Oh, here we go, here's a fun one, Brian. I have to turn left at the county red light.
• 24:55
  Brian McFadden: Oh, no. That's why it takes forever.
• 24:58
  Testecleese: That would be… there's one red light in the county, too, that's awesome.
• 25:04
  Testecleese: You've, you've been through that red light, too.
• 25:09
  Testecleese: Aw, man.
• 25:11
  Testecleese: Dude in Grafton County!
• 25:14
  Testecleese: Postal worker, he's being charged for stealing rebate checks.
• 25:18
  Testecleese: from, residents?
• 25:20
  Testecleese: They were getting rebate checks or something, I don't know what.
• 25:23
  Testecleese: I'm sure it said in the article, but I didn't care as much about that.
• 25:27
  Testecleese: But…
• 25:30
  Testecleese: Something happened that… and he had possession of this thing, like… he was supposed to drop it off, like, to return it, to be delivered again, or picked up by the person it was addressed to.
• 25:40
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 25:40
  Testecleese: Something happened, and he found it was a rebate check.
• 25:43
  Testecleese: So we started opening all of them.
• 25:46
  Testecleese: And cashing them all in on his own.
• 25:49
  Testecleese: And…
• 25:50
  Brian McFadden: Duh.
• 25:51
  Testecleese: He's being charged with, larceny right now, and I'm wondering if this could be… Postal fraud.
• 25:57
  Testecleese: Or not. If he's opening mail not addressed to him.
• 26:01
  Brian McFadden: Should be, yeah.
• 26:02
  Testecleese: If the feds got involved.
• 26:04
  Testecleese: oh my, the mighty hammer of the federal government coming down on you for… no one will fuck with the mail again for a while in the area if this guy gets, like, 30 years for this, you know what I mean?
• 26:14
  Brian McFadden: You're right.
• 26:16
  Testecleese: Because I'm sure, what was it, was it the 90s, maybe? Maybe the late 80s, when people were stealing gift cards out of the mail?
• 26:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 26:24
  Testecleese: Because, like, you'd feel the gift card at Christmas time, they would just… it would never get delivered. And then a bunch of people got nailed for that.
• 26:32
  Testecleese: And then it stopped, didn't it?
• 26:37
  Testecleese: oh, there we go.
• 26:42
  Testecleese: I mentioned the protests we had here in West Virginia recently concerning ICE.
• 26:47
  Testecleese: But, ICE has been… I wouldn't necessarily say targeting, I guess maybe that's the right word, restaurants lately?
• 26:55
  Testecleese: And people are asking why, but I got a good laugh, because a local-ish restaurant here, Mexican food, an actual Mexican… Mexico Mexican food, not, like, Tex-Mex.
• 27:06
  Brian McFadden: Right. You know, like Taco Bell.
• 27:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
• 27:12
  Testecleese: They got… the feds showed up, And took out… 10 people?
• 27:19
  Testecleese: Four of them ended up getting released within an hour.
• 27:23
  Testecleese: 6 of them are being detained for… You know.
• 27:27
  Testecleese: Courts and everything?
• 27:29
  Testecleese: The restaurant had to close down because the majority of their staff just got picked up by ICE.
• 27:37
  Testecleese: And at first, people were upset that this happened, and then… and then they decided to realize, wait a minute, how many people are here are… how many illegal folk are here now taking jobs from these citizens who are living in trailers?
• 27:52
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 27:52
  Testecleese: Can't pay their, you know, their electric bill.
• 27:56
  Testecleese: This is something that actually does matter out in the fucking boondogs versus the city, because you can't just go get to the soup kitchen
• 28:03
  Testecleese: When you're out in the middle of nowhere.
• 28:07
  Testecleese: I don't know.
• 28:09
  Testecleese: Shoot, Ryan, you saw what you…
• 28:11
  Testecleese: You saw a lot of the poverty out here, didn't you?
• 28:13
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah.
• 28:15
  Testecleese: Was that… was that meth lab already burned down by the time you came here, or had it not burned yet?
• 28:21
  Brian McFadden: I don't think it burned down yet.
• 28:23
  Brian McFadden: Wait, no, the house a couple doors down from you?
• 28:26
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, a couple miles, but yes, a couple doors down.
• 28:30
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, it already caught on fire, yeah.
• 28:32
  Testecleese: Yeah, and the truck and the car on the front yard were completely destroyed, like, the rims were melted, I was like, what the fuck happened here?
• 28:41
  Testecleese: Yeah, that turned out to be… not a meth lab, he was selling someone else's meth in the turf of someone who made it nearby, and these guys apparently used thermite to, like, burn this guy's place to the ground. I was like, holy shit.
• 28:56
  Testecleese: But there's a lot of poverty besides just stuff like that. There's just abandoned buildings, trees growing through houses. Right. The old hotel burned down less than a year ago, and they finally just cleaned up the wreckage, and it's just sitting in an empty lot now.
• 29:11
  Testecleese: It burned down because squatters burned the place down because they were cooking food on fucking hot plates, you know?
• 29:20
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 29:21
  Testecleese: So, this is Virginia stuff.
• 29:24
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Testecleese: I don't know how long… I don't know how much longer we're gonna keep doing Virginia, but I still do keep putting some Massachusetts up here every.
• 29:30
  Brian McFadden: Well, I put it in mainly… some of the Virginia stuff I put in because it was Navy-related, so… but then others, there's that gun ban that we've been talking about.
• 29:40
  Testecleese: Exactly, I might start moving it into different categories.
• 29:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keeping it under load.
• 29:44
  Testecleese: local.
• 29:45
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 29:46
  Testecleese: But yeah, a sailor shot and, killed… Another sailor.
• 29:51
  Brian McFadden: He killed his wife.
• 29:51
  Testecleese: Man… Yeah, I was just gonna say, it was his wife.
• 29:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 29:55
  Testecleese: And, tried to kill himself after the baby died.
• 29:59
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, their baby died the day before, so then he shot her, and then he tried killing himself.
• 30:05
  Testecleese: So he… he has an actual…
• 30:08
  Testecleese: Insanity… not even an insanity claim here, but he couldn't control himself.
• 30:12
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 30:12
  Testecleese: Like, uncontrollable…
• 30:14
  Brian McFadden: There's a failure of the chain of command there to not recognize that somebody's baby died. They may need…
• 30:20
  Brian McFadden: Some counseling, some being watched over type thing.
• 30:24
  Testecleese: That's an excellent point. The chief…
• 30:28
  Testecleese: This is gonna… the chief is gonna be speaking to somebody about this, isn't he?
• 30:33
  Brian McFadden: Oh yeah, the command man.
• 30:34
  Testecleese: How did this… how did this happen? You didn't see it coming.
• 30:38
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 30:39
  Brian McFadden: Their head.
• 30:39
  Testecleese: Good evening.
• 30:40
  Brian McFadden: signs, you know.
• 30:41
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, his LPO, I mean, I don't know what pay grade this guy was, but his LPO, his work center supervisor, depending on how down low he is.
• 30:50
  Testecleese: Someone should have realized, especially one of the guys, like, my baby died yesterday, like, do…
• 30:55
  Brian McFadden: Third class.
• 30:57
  Brian McFadden: They were both their classes.
• 30:59
  Testecleese: There you go, so chances.
• 31:00
  Brian McFadden: So they were young.
• 31:01
  Testecleese: Yeah, and chances are, he wasn't the work center supervisor either.
• 31:04
  Brian McFadden: What do you know?
• 31:05
  Testecleese: Usually an E5 or higher.
• 31:08
  Brian McFadden: No, they were both, one was an aviation ordersman, the guy was, and then she was a culinary specialist.
• 31:15
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 31:17
  Testecleese: Does it say what the baby died of?
• 31:20
  Brian McFadden: No, it just says that following the death of their infant child the day before.
• 31:25
  Testecleese: Yeah, and I get why you don't… if it wasn't nefarious, you don't always want to release details like that as a news source. You know, it's not… you know, it's not necessary.
• 31:36
  Testecleese: But yeah, that's… that's terribly sad.
• 31:40
  Testecleese: And this poor kid's life is over, over.
• 31:45
  Testecleese: He's probably never gonna see the outside of a jail cell.
• 31:48
  Brian McFadden: Probably won't be able to get any VA benefits out of this either.
• 31:52
  Testecleese: No, he's gonna be drummed out.
• 31:54
  Testecleese: Dishonorably discharged.
• 31:58
  Testecleese: Or at least an OTH.
• 32:01
  Testecleese: If he's found not guilty, but…
• 32:03
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 32:03
  Testecleese: Of a crime.
• 32:05
  Testecleese: But you can't have someone like that staying in the service. They're not stable enough, not safe enough to trust with this stuff, you know what I mean?
• 32:11
  Brian McFadden: No, but it would have been… he should have got help from the VA, you know?
• 32:16
  Testecleese: Yeah, maybe at least pay for his therapy, right?
• 32:19
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 32:23
  Testecleese: So, the gun bans we were talking about in Virginia.
• 32:26
  Brian McFadden: It's great for the gun sales companies.
• 32:30
  Testecleese: Don't we see this every time the Democrats threaten to ban guns? Don't we see a.
• 32:34
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 32:35
  Testecleese: People that go buy them right away.
• 32:36
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly, yep, every single time.
• 32:40
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 32:41
  Testecleese: Because typically speaking, whatever law they pass does not allow them to come confiscate what you already have, usually.
• 32:48
  Brian McFadden: No, not yet.
• 32:49
  Testecleese: You just can't… you just can't sell them anymore.
• 32:51
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 32:52
  Testecleese: That's the way of trying to get around the… the Second Amendment.
• 32:57
  Testecleese: yeah, you can have a gun, and yes, you can carry a gun, but no, you cannot sell it. It's like, oh… that's… that's a tough one.
• 33:08
  Testecleese: The problem is, if people stop manufacturing firearms in the backyard, shit's gonna get WAY more dangerous, you know that, right?
• 33:15
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 33:17
  Testecleese: People blowing their hands off trying to fire a shotgun or a rifle at a deer, you know?
• 33:23
  Testecleese: But… And yeah, this other one…
• 33:28
  Testecleese: A new Virginia law bans weapons in the hospitals and everything.
• 33:31
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think it's the same law.
• 33:34
  Testecleese: Yeah, that's…
• 33:34
  Brian McFadden: I think it's part of all the salt… the salt ban.
• 33:38
  Brian McFadden: I couldn't be wrong.
• 33:40
  Testecleese: It already was illegal nationwide to carry a gun into a hospital, just like a bank or a.
• 33:44
  Brian McFadden: Well, this one, now she just signed in the legislation, but this also allows the security people to be armed in the hospitals now.
• 33:53
  Brian McFadden: Well, not just police, but actual, you know, your private security companies can put armed guards there.
• 34:00
  Testecleese: I'm okay with that too, but the issue is, if she's banning all this stuff, how is a private security company gonna be able to do it either? Or do they have special licenses to get these firearms that she's out trying to outlaw?
• 34:15
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 34:17
  Testecleese: Anyway… This past week.
• 34:22
  Testecleese: I saw it, actually, on, the social medias, because I'm still in a couple groups from Back Up and Mass.
• 34:29
  Testecleese: People asking if anyone else heard or felt that boom and that shake.
• 34:33
  Brian McFadden: We had a meteor hit here in the county next to me this week.
• 34:38
  Brian McFadden: And they reported that it was going at 50,000 miles an hour when it landed, and when it comes through the Earth.
• 34:46
  Testecleese: Oh, it probably didn't land. It probably burned up.
• 34:48
  Brian McFadden: Burned up, yeah. But when it came into the atmosphere, it was doing… Super bad. Yeah, well…
• 34:54
  Testecleese: This one here, weighed as much as an elephant. It was 5 feet across, and it was going 42,000 miles an hour when it got into the atmosphere and it broke up miles above New England on Saturday.
• 35:05
  Testecleese: And the energy released was equivalent to 230 tons of TNT.
• 35:12
  Testecleese: Oh my goodness. So, yeah. People all over New England felt and heard the sonic booms of this thing as it was moving through the… the big one was when it broke through the atmosphere, you know what I mean? It actually had a sound barrier.
• 35:27
  Testecleese: But geez, my goodness. A lot of, space rocks lately, and…
• 35:31
  Testecleese: Whatever happened with that Atlas stone we heard about?
• 35:35
  Brian McFadden: No idea.
• 35:37
  Testecleese: Is this still possibly pieces of that?
• 35:41
  Brian McFadden: What was…
• 35:41
  Testecleese: That was…
• 35:42
  Brian McFadden: I'm in.
• 35:43
  Testecleese: No, I thought it was a hunk of rock that was…
• 35:47
  Testecleese: I thought it was a hunk of rock. Anyway, that was supposed to, like, pass, like, between the Earth and the Moon, or…
• 35:52
  Testecleese: Close enough to the moon that it may as well be.
• 35:56
  Testecleese: Cause I was kind of following it for a while, but then, like.
• 36:00
  Testecleese: The only thing coming out of it was all these meteors hitting the ground, or falling in the atmosphere.
• 36:06
  Testecleese: And I was like, well, yeah, it makes sense, they're hunks of the big, giant hunk of rock that probably broke off when it…
• 36:10
  Testecleese: Got pulled into the sun's gravity well, you know?
• 36:15
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 36:15
  Testecleese: Anyway, anyway.
• 36:18
  Testecleese: I've done some dumb shit.
• 36:20
  Brian McFadden: Atlas is a small moon as Saturn.
• 36:23
  Testecleese: Okay, yeah, okay, I thought it was, like, Atlas231II, or something like that, or…
• 36:28
  Brian McFadden: This was an interstellar comet.
• 36:31
  Testecleese: Those guys are scar.
• 36:32
  Brian McFadden: in 2025 that passed through our ore system is now heading back into solar space. They did not crash or disappear.
• 36:39
  Brian McFadden: They observed it going around the sun, and it was just… nothing happened.
• 36:43
  Testecleese: Okay. So this could just be still debris from that com… coming through.
• 36:47
  Brian McFadden: Possible, yeah.
• 36:49
  Testecleese: even pulling bigger rocks from, like, the Kuiper Belt in or something.
• 36:55
  Testecleese: But yeah, I've done some dumb shit. I did some really dumb shit when I was.
• 36:59
  Brian McFadden: It's not as dumb as this.
• 37:01
  Testecleese: this is service. I may have done.
• 37:04
  Brian McFadden: But you're not running for Senate!
• 37:05
  Testecleese: And I…
• 37:06
  Brian McFadden: I'm not running for Senate!
• 37:08
  Testecleese: And I wouldn't advertise it.
• 37:10
  Brian McFadden: No!
• 37:11
  Testecleese: This, this Nazi out of Maine, Graham Platner, was bragging about doing cocaine while on leave from the Marine Corps.
• 37:20
  Brian McFadden: And the sad thing is that idiots in Maine look like they're gonna freakin' elect him.
• 37:26
  Testecleese: Well, what's crazy, was for, like, 2 days, it looked like everyone was turning against him from, like, the media, and everyone except for, like, Warren and,
• 37:34
  Testecleese: Sanders.
• 37:36
  Testecleese: But now, all of a sudden, everyone friggin' got unified again and said, if we're gonna fight against those evil Nazi Republicans, we gotta elect Nazis. I was like, what!
• 37:46
  Testecleese: This… this guy, we haven't even gone into most of this guy's ridiculous… Online, thumbprint.
• 37:53
  Testecleese: We have trouble getting past that Nazi tattoo he had on his chest for 18 years.
• 37:58
  Testecleese: But this video of him out there saying he knew it was an… he called it My TotemComf, he knew exactly what it was.
• 38:05
  Testecleese: the women that he was sexting while he was married, that's what actually offended the Democrats for a couple days. The fact that he said he joined the Marines because he wanted to kill people…
• 38:16
  Testecleese: He's supposed to be a blue-collar worker, because he's an oyster farmer, right? You know that over 65% of his frickin'…
• 38:23
  Testecleese: Income from that job is selling oasis to his mother.
• 38:27
  Brian McFadden: Wow.
• 38:29
  Testecleese: This guy's a bag of shit.
• 38:31
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 38:34
  Brian McFadden: Well, the governor had suspended her actual campaign, but she's out there telling people that Democrats can still vote for her in the primary, because she's still on the ballot.
• 38:45
  Testecleese: Yeah, she suspended it, but didn't drop out, exactly, so her name is still on, and she's like, if you guys are that offended by that guy, you can still vote for me.
• 38:53
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 38:56
  Testecleese: I haven't heard much from this woman, honestly, in a while, since she got the seat as the governor.
• 39:03
  Testecleese: I mean, I wouldn't even… I wouldn't… didn't even remember her name until I saw this.
• 39:07
  Testecleese: So, she obviously.
• 39:08
  Brian McFadden: I would've said…
• 39:09
  Testecleese: out of control.
• 39:10
  Brian McFadden: Right. And then I wish this… the Platinner would actually do what Fetterman wants him to do. I'd like to see Fetterman in a suit.
• 39:18
  Testecleese: Rhino!
• 39:19
  Testecleese: I know.
• 39:22
  Testecleese: Well, the crazy thing is, Fetterman only wants to know about this sexting scandal with these…
• 39:27
  Testecleese: Other women while he was married.
• 39:30
  Testecleese: And I'm like.
• 39:31
  Testecleese: He's like, I'll wear a suit, you know, the rest of my time in Senate, which would be hilarious, fun to watch, honestly.
• 39:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, it would, yeah,
• 39:39
  Testecleese: Because I… honestly, I believe Fetterman. I believe if he says it, and then this happens, I believe he'll do it.
• 39:44
  Brian McFadden: I do, too.
• 39:46
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 39:47
  Testecleese: As much as I disagree with.
• 39:48
  Brian McFadden: those policies.
• 39:49
  Testecleese: I respect them.
• 39:50
  Brian McFadden: Platinner's not gonna do that. Not gonna release all this stuff.
• 39:54
  Testecleese: At this point, If people are still on board, they're okay with anything this guy says or does.
• 40:03
  Testecleese: I mean…
• 40:07
  Testecleese: It bothered me a little bit that the only thing I got people was that he was…
• 40:11
  Testecleese: cheating online from his wife. But, like…
• 40:15
  Testecleese: Then I remembered Cuomo. They didn't care about the… what was it, 100,000 senior citizens he killed? They only cared when he started grab… when they found out he grabbed women's asses.
• 40:25
  Testecleese: And it's like, wow, this…
• 40:27
  Testecleese: I understand that's an issue, but the killing people was a bigger deal that should have got him thrown out first, you know?
• 40:33
  Brian McFadden: Right. Hmm.
• 40:36
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 40:39
  Testecleese: Oh, here we go, this is exactly what I was talking about, the face action before.
• 40:43
  Testecleese: A jury is deliberating throwing out a California pro-lifer in prison for posting a video outside the abortion clinic.
• 40:52
  Testecleese: So even being outside the abortion clinic and filming might get this guy put in jail, but Don Lemon kicking in the door of a church, coming in and recording.
• 41:03
  Testecleese: That's okay.
• 41:04
  Testecleese: Yes.
• 41:05
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 41:05
  Testecleese: these are different states, but these are the same laws. It's the… it's the same law that applies to both. And the Democrats only agreed to the church thing, because they said there's no way we're gonna have crazy left wads charging into churches and protesting.
• 41:20
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 41:23
  Testecleese: What the fuck, man?
• 41:24
  Testecleese: That's right.
• 41:25
  Testecleese: This is why the federal government might need to get involved. It is a federal law, after all.
• 41:32
  Testecleese: Maybe the federal government does need to get involved in Don Lemon, and then point directly at this case right here.
• 41:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 41:39
  Testecleese: And make the same argument I did. You can't record from outside, but what if he walked in and recorded? Is that even worse?
• 41:46
  Brian McFadden: He was a member of the press.
• 41:50
  Testecleese: So…
• 41:50
  Testecleese: Doesn't mean you can… being a member of the press does not mean you get to conspire to break the law.
• 41:56
  Testecleese: he had it on his own video, he's like, oh, I gotta shut the camera off for a couple minutes here, some stuff we can't have everyone known about. And it's like, what the fuck, man?
• 42:07
  Testecleese: Hold on.
• 42:10
  Testecleese: Yeah, what…
• 42:12
  Testecleese: I'm still not sure what's going on with redistricting in California. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. Haven't their elections already started, or is that only local elections?
• 42:19
  Brian McFadden: Must be honest.
• 42:20
  Testecleese: local.
• 42:21
  Brian McFadden: I think it's only local.
• 42:34
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think it's only a local, and .
• 42:39
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 42:44
  Testecleese: So, I didn't… okay, so… they're getting…
• 42:49
  Testecleese: what does it mean, first test of, their redistricting map? Like, it's going to its first vote?
• 42:57
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think they're voting in primaries right now, and it's… Guess that's what it's about.
• 43:05
  Testecleese: So, because Texas got such an influx of illegal immigrants that they had to redistrict, every liberal state thought they had to too.
• 43:13
  Testecleese: Problem is, they already did. And by the way, I'd like to update what I had said about gerrymandering. The guy's name wasn't Gerrymander, it was Jerry something else.
• 43:22
  Testecleese: But when he drew this new map, someone says, it looks like a salamander, and someone else said, no, it's a gerrymander.
• 43:29
  Testecleese: That's where that term came from.
• 43:32
  Testecleese: Democrat, though, still.
• 43:36
  Testecleese: But the problem is, yeah, the problem is these blue states have already gerrymandered the crap out of the states, and California might be able to squish a couple Republican votes out.
• 43:45
  Testecleese: But… Their failure in Virginia means they lost this, gerrymandering war.
• 43:52
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 43:53
  Testecleese: Alabama, or something like that. It was like, no, we're not doing it, that would have given the Republicans even more seats.
• 43:57
  Brian McFadden: Indiana.
• 43:58
  Testecleese: In the end.
• 44:00
  Testecleese: mistake.
• 44:03
  Testecleese: Huh.
• 44:05
  Testecleese: Yeah, and I don't know, man, if you… like, we said this right away, it's like, if they start this conflict, they're going to lose it.
• 44:11
  Brian McFadden: Bruh.
• 44:13
  Testecleese: They're… Because Florida wasn't necessarily gonna do this until everyone else threatened to do it, right?
• 44:18
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 44:20
  Testecleese: it was just gonna be Texas, and I love it, they're like, oh, Texas started it. Then you show them New England, you know what I mean?
• 44:28
  Testecleese: alright, anyway, anyway.
• 44:32
  Testecleese: Bass?
• 44:34
  Testecleese: has canceled the 4th of July parade in the, sunlit.
• 44:38
  Brian McFadden: Technically, she didn't cancel it. She promised…
• 44:41
  Testecleese: funded.
• 44:41
  Brian McFadden: They would… she, yeah, she promised that they would help with funding for security and stuff like that, and at the last minute, like, you know, within a month of the 4th of July.
• 44:51
  Brian McFadden: She said that they weren't gonna be able… they weren't gonna fund it at all, and so the organizers said, well, we don't have enough time to raise the $20,000 we need for security and stuff like that.
• 45:02
  Testecleese: By the way, security doesn't just mean, like, they're worried about people being violent, it means, like.
• 45:06
  Testecleese: not necessarily crowd control, but, like, we need to shut roads down to have a parade. Yeah. Like, it's a whole thing.
• 45:13
  Brian McFadden: the whole ordeal.
• 45:14
  Testecleese: Well, the thing is, they've been doing this for 50 years, and they've been getting help from the city to do it.
• 45:20
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 45:22
  Testecleese: And yeah, maybe if they'd given him…
• 45:24
  Testecleese: 3 months notice, they could have had a fundraiser, or a bake sale, or something, you know what I mean?
• 45:30
  Testecleese: Did anything ever come with Mom Donnie shutting down the 4th of July celebration in, on Times Square?
• 45:37
  Brian McFadden: Not yet.
• 45:38
  Testecleese: Okay. Because I haven't heard anything about it either, and you'd think that would have come out right away if it got.
• 45:42
  Brian McFadden: People are more worried about FIFA, and…
• 45:45
  Testecleese: Back here.
• 45:47
  Testecleese: And that's why it's in place.
• 45:49
  Testecleese: But you could have exempted the, the 4th of July ball drop on the 250th.
• 45:57
  Testecleese: I don't know if everyone realizes this or not, but the big ball at Times Square doesn't just drop at midnight on January 1st.
• 46:06
  Testecleese: They do it for the 4th of July, too.
• 46:09
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 46:10
  Testecleese: And they've been doing it for a long time.
• 46:14
  Testecleese: That's more of a local New York thing. People don't stay up to midnight to watch the ball drop on the 4th of July, but I guess you could. Especially with modern tech and YouTube and everything, you know?
• 46:23
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 46:27
  Testecleese: Hey, you shared this one. What's… this woman just walked into a polling station, like, an hour after it closed?
• 46:33
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 46:36
  Brian McFadden: Tells you how good of a voting system they have.
• 46:39
  Testecleese: It's safe and secure, right?
• 46:40
  Brian McFadden: Yo.
• 46:43
  Testecleese: And then they blamed the… what was it, a school or something? They blamed the school for not locking up.
• 46:51
  Testecleese: I thought that was a little interesting. You'd think someone would stay behind to make sure the doors were locked when you have.
• 46:58
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 46:59
  Testecleese: I'm assuming uncounted ballots, because they said it might take weeks to get back one city, or…
• 47:05
  Testecleese: To get back the results here.
• 47:08
  Testecleese: Like, what, LA Mayor might take a week, they said, right?
• 47:12
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, for the primary.
• 47:15
  Testecleese: Ow!
• 47:17
  Brian McFadden: Because they do mail… they do primarily mail-in ballots, and everybody that's registered as a voter in California automatically gets a mail-in ballot, and that's what they encourage people to use, not going into the ballot box to vote.
• 47:32
  Brian McFadden: And then they're allowed to accept ballots per state law.
• 47:38
  Brian McFadden: up to a week after election, as long as it is postmarked on election day.
• 47:44
  Testecleese: Why would A week to get from your house.
• 47:47
  Brian McFadden: Have you done any business with the post office lately?
• 47:52
  Testecleese: But you just drop it in your mailbox. It doesn't take a week. I could send you mail from here to you in Michigan, and it wouldn't take a week to get there.
• 47:59
  Brian McFadden: went from Michigan to Virginia, they'd taken a week.
• 48:03
  Testecleese: That seems ridiculous. It must have… was it packages, or was it just a letter?
• 48:08
  Brian McFadden: letter. It got lost, that got mishandled along the way. It took them a while to…
• 48:13
  Brian McFadden: To send it to the right place.
• 48:14
  Testecleese: Yeah, okay, well, that's, something went wrong, I can understand that, I guess.
• 48:20
  Testecleese: But they're usually pretty good, especially if you put these… the barcodes on them.
• 48:24
  Testecleese: on the envelope, so they know right where to send it right away, you know what I mean? They don't have to sort it by hand.
• 48:31
  Testecleese: I'm assuming they're doing that if they're mailing everybody a ballot, you know what I mean?
• 48:36
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 48:38
  Testecleese: Anyway… This woman walked into an unlocked ballot booth, and just turned around and went home.
• 48:45
  Testecleese: They say it's gonna take a week to figure out what's going on.
• 48:48
  Testecleese: And check this out, and it… there was a ballot drop, yesterday, last night.
• 48:55
  Testecleese: You know, tens of thousands of ballots came in.
• 48:58
  Brian McFadden: Of course.
• 48:59
  Testecleese: From a polling station.
• 49:01
  Testecleese: Not a single one of them was for Spencer Pratt.
• 49:05
  Brian McFadden: Oh, I'm carrying brass.
• 49:07
  Testecleese: Not one.
• 49:09
  Testecleese: How is that possible?
• 49:11
  Brian McFadden: It's not.
• 49:14
  Testecleese: I mean, in theory it's possible, but in theory.
• 49:17
  Testecleese: I could metamorphosize right now and sprout wings and be the next step in human evolution, but chances are, in all probability, it's not going to happen.
• 49:26
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 49:27
  Testecleese: But… and that's what I was thinking, more than mail-in ballots, is that instead of trying to find the ballots, it sounds like they're… more like they're finding reasons to discount ballots.
• 49:38
  Testecleese: Like, their signature is not legible, or they didn't completely fill in the dot, kind of stuff, you know what I mean?
• 49:44
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 49:48
  Testecleese: Alright, even Trump accused him of cheating when they said it was gonna take a week in one city, right?
• 49:53
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 49:54
  Testecleese: Meanwhile, Florida and half the states in this country can do it in an hour?
• 49:58
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. Florida's usually the first one in a presidential election back with their results. And they're in two different time zones.
• 50:07
  Testecleese: Yeah, I was gonna say, it's enormous, and… yeah, exactly, and it's in two time zones, so you're adjusting for that. The place is not little.
• 50:15
  Testecleese: Granted, it could physically hold more people if it wasn't underwater, but there's a lot of people in Florida, too.
• 50:22
  Testecleese: And yeah, by the end… by… by the time polls close in California, Florida's already got… here's our count, you know?
• 50:29
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 50:31
  Testecleese: California's like, oh, we're gonna need a week?
• 50:33
  Testecleese: you know, there's a truckload of ballots over there, we might need to go find tomorrow. Right.
• 50:42
  Testecleese: Fascinating thing was…
• 50:44
  Testecleese: with these guys, these Republicans, doing so well in California. Nobody's won anything yet, obviously, but doing so well…
• 50:51
  Testecleese: even Hassan Biker, and I'm gonna be bringing this guy's name up more and more now that you're gonna recognize his name, dude.
• 50:57
  Testecleese: Even though Osan Piker said that this is very bad for the Democrats, because this is going to tell the Republicans that bothering to show up to the polls might help, and if they do that, it will.
• 51:08
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 51:09
  Testecleese: Because there's giant parts of California with more Republicans than Democrats, but they don't bother voting, because it's like.
• 51:15
  Brian McFadden: Right, they don't have a sway, they don't feel like their votes matter.
• 51:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, because, yeah, how am I gonna, you know, beat Sacramento, but you're local?
• 51:23
  Brian McFadden: Sacramento's actually fairly conservative.
• 51:25
  Testecleese: Okay, San Francisco.
• 51:27
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's not conservative.
• 51:31
  Testecleese: But, you know, you get all these guys together, because they're winning the local elections, then they show up again.
• 51:37
  Testecleese: For the federal election, now all of a sudden you have
• 51:39
  Testecleese: half the state, something like 40-something percent of the state actually is registered Republican.
• 51:47
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 51:49
  Testecleese: But the problem is the Republicans spread their…
• 51:54
  Testecleese: What's the word I'm looking for here?
• 51:57
  Testecleese: Don't… If a Republican doesn't… I shouldn't say a Republican.
• 52:03
  Testecleese: If your right-leaning independent doesn't like what the person running has to say well enough, they won't vote for him. Right. Instead of doing the lesser of two evils, they won't vote.
• 52:15
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 52:16
  Testecleese: And that's what the Republicans need in states like California, Massachusetts to win, is your right-leaning independent to say, yes, I will actually get up and vote.
• 52:26
  Testecleese: Shoot, for real, if the entire Republican population of Massachusetts go up and voted.
• 52:33
  Testecleese: And then you get your disaffected liberals who are pissed off at, like, the price of gasoline in Massachusetts. You can only blame Trump so much when you say, gas is $6 a gallon!
• 52:42
  Brian McFadden: Federal tax on gas is 18 cents a gallon.
• 52:45
  Testecleese: Yeah, exact… well, then they're gonna… you say the price of…
• 52:49
  Testecleese: oil is up. But then you look at West Virginia, and it's under $5 a gallon.
• 52:55
  Testecleese: what's different in Massachusetts, you know?
• 53:00
  Brian McFadden: It's obviously.
• 53:00
  Testecleese: a Massachusetts thing that brought, like, just like California's like, I can't believe gas is, like, $10 a gallon. I'm like, only in California! You know that, right?
• 53:09
  Brian McFadden: Hmph.
• 53:13
  Testecleese: Alright. Let's move into some more terrible ideas from the left.
• 53:18
  Testecleese: washington Examiner of Political… See, I hate when they do this.
• 53:23
  Testecleese: Some of these headlines give you a good idea what's in the article, and some of them kind of beat around the bush.
• 53:31
  Testecleese: Oh, okay. I think you shared this one.
• 53:33
  Brian McFadden: Ridehead.
• 53:34
  Testecleese: Yeah, the Orthodox Jewel… did you read the article?
• 53:39
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think I started to.
• 53:40
  Testecleese: Orthodox Jew, He's not allowed to do…
• 53:45
  Testecleese: A lot of things during prayer, pray, like, what?
• 53:50
  Testecleese: the Sabbath and holidays.
• 53:53
  Testecleese: Like, even turn the lights on, let alone drive.
• 53:57
  Testecleese: So, they have to make sure that they live close enough to be able to do the worships, because they have to do worship 3 times a day.
• 54:04
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 54:05
  Testecleese: And they have to do it in quorums of at least, 10 Jewish men.
• 54:10
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 54:12
  Testecleese: Well, they were having issues, so this guy decided he was going to hold.
• 54:18
  Brian McFadden: A prayer group in his home.
• 54:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, I was gonna say, what do you call Mass for the Jewish folk?
• 54:24
  Testecleese: You know, I know it's in the synagogue, is it Temple?
• 54:28
  Testecleese: I don't, I don't.
• 54:29
  Brian McFadden: water.
• 54:29
  Testecleese: sound ignorant here, but I am ignorant.
• 54:34
  Testecleese: But yeah, anyway, so we decided to do this in his home.
• 54:37
  Testecleese: And have people come and do prayer at his home instead of trying to get to the nearest synagogue or whatever.
• 54:42
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 54:44
  Testecleese: And the city told him, no, he needs, like, permits and licenses and stuff.
• 54:50
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 54:52
  Brian McFadden: In the zoning process, his house has to be rezoned.
• 54:56
  Testecleese: Yeah, and all I could think was…
• 54:58
  Testecleese: The very first Amendment in the Constitution disagrees with you, but…
• 55:03
  Testecleese: Nobody… nobody gave a shit about these, Freedom of religion practices, during COVID, either, though.
• 55:14
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 55:15
  Testecleese: Unless you were rioting in the streets.
• 55:18
  Testecleese: You weren't allowed to be in a group, and you definitely weren't allowed to wear a mask, but you could be in a group with no mask if you were rioting in the streets.
• 55:25
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, because COVID wasn't there.
• 55:28
  Testecleese: Well, apparently.
• 55:28
  Brian McFadden: Riders were exempt from COVID.
• 55:31
  Testecleese: Well, and apparently COVID travels at a certain height above the ground, too, because if you walk into a restaurant, you have to wear your mask, but as soon as you sit down, you can take your mask off, because apparently your head's below the virus level.
• 55:41
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 55:43
  Testecleese: Yeah, I mean, it's science. Trust the scientists, right?
• 55:46
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, trust Fauci.
• 55:50
  Brian McFadden: Hi.
• 55:50
  Brian McFadden: Big civil servant in the government back in the day.
• 55:54
  Testecleese: He was, yeah. That's because he was the longest serving, too.
• 55:58
  Testecleese: And the statute of limitations expired last week for him to be brought up on, perjury to Congress.
• 56:05
  Brian McFadden: What about his, his,
• 56:09
  Brian McFadden: He's got a pardon from, preemptive pardon from Biden.
• 56:14
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, see, that's the thing, this would have been the chance to deal with the preemptive pardon, because you can't say someone is pardoned for something they've never been accused of. Because in that case, I could pardon someone for…
• 56:24
  Testecleese: Terrorist actions that they haven't done yet, and then let them go do that, and they can't be charged, you know?
• 56:33
  Testecleese: Oh, Mary Katie! Yeah, Mary. Mary, Katie Wilson out there in Seattle. She's the one who, like.
• 56:41
  Testecleese: cheered everyone to leave, all the wealthy people to leave Seattle.
• 56:46
  Testecleese: A year ago, she called for the boycott, just under a year ago, she called for a boycott of Starbucks.
• 56:52
  Testecleese: You know, because we hate billionaires.
• 56:54
  Brian McFadden: Right, yup.
• 56:55
  Testecleese: She was recently… after she drove Starbucks out of Seattle, and they had to close, like, 65 locations on top of that.
• 57:03
  Testecleese: she gets caught with a Starbucks cup out in public, and is like, yeah, I guess, I guess I broke my boycott. What can I say? You know, it is what it is, basically. And it's like, you just chased out the number one
• 57:16
  Testecleese: Income for your entire state.
• 57:20
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 57:21
  Testecleese: And got the people behind you to do it, and now turning around.
• 57:26
  Testecleese: And buying their products.
• 57:28
  Testecleese: Ouch.
• 57:30
  Testecleese: Good.
• 57:31
  Testecleese: Good job, Seattle, with your, your voting practices, huh?
• 57:36
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 57:38
  Testecleese: Criminate.
• 57:41
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 57:43
  Testecleese: I already had… I had this article in you, you shared one that was, similar.
• 57:48
  Testecleese: The Fox News one.
• 57:51
  Testecleese: When I have an article besides Fox News, I try to use it, because if anyone does ask for sources, they're probably… they're probably going to say you're wrong, and I'd love it for it to not be a Fox News source, because then I don't trust Fox News, but I will use Fox… I will use Fox News. I'm just saying, if I get a different one, I try to use that one.
• 58:08
  Brian McFadden: I kind of… I do a lot with Fox News, because they don't have as many pop-up ads.
• 58:14
  Testecleese: Well, you're paying a subscription service on it, aren't you?
• 58:16
  Brian McFadden: No, I'm not, no, I've got.
• 58:17
  Testecleese: Oh, I thought you were.
• 58:18
  Brian McFadden: But the ads that they do do are fairly tame, you know, so…
• 58:24
  Brian McFadden: I've been to other sites where I can't even read the article because it's pop-up after pop-up after pop-up, you know?
• 58:30
  Testecleese: Or they block two-thirds… a third on the bottom and a third on the top.
• 58:34
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
• 58:34
  Testecleese: Are you trying to read an article? Yeah, Fox, at least, you scroll through, and sometimes it'll autoplay the sound of a commercial as you scroll past it.
• 58:41
  Brian McFadden: Yep, yep.
• 58:43
  Testecleese: That's what gets me… drives me nuts about The Blaze. I like a lot of their stuff, but, like, 9 things pop up, you're like, come on!
• 58:51
  Testecleese: Anyway… Anyway, what's up? Wha-
• 58:57
  Testecleese: Is there no such thing as sex anymore? Oh, this is GBN, Great Britain's news.
• 59:05
  Brian McFadden: Well, this is New York Democrats changing… changing gender names. They're getting rid of mothers and fathers, and I think I saw another article where they're getting rid of male and female.
• 59:17
  Testecleese: Yeah, gestating parents and, non-gestating parents.
• 59:24
  Brian McFadden: I mean, New York's got a lot of other problems to worry about.
• 59:28
  Brian McFadden: Rather than changing gender names and identifiers.
• 59:33
  Testecleese: I… I agree.
• 59:35
  Testecleese: And this is just nuts that this is what they're focusing their time on, and they're… how much money is it costing these… I know it doesn't sound like much, like, oh, so what, the festival, or what? How many people had to sit down and discuss this and write this that got paid the whole time?
• 59:48
  Brian McFadden: Exactly. Although there's not… it's not just the congresspeople doing it, there's staff for the congresspeople that are doing it.
• 59:57
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 59:59
  Testecleese: And… My God!
• 1:00:01
  Testecleese: And, you know, this is what we get, because we…
• 1:00:05
  Testecleese: Anyone who wasn't crazy made a big deal saying.
• 1:00:08
  Testecleese: Words matter, you can't just redefine words to mean what you want. So now they're going and using different words.
• 1:00:14
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:00:15
  Testecleese: But this, this is ludicrous!
• 1:00:17
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:00:18
  Testecleese: gestating and non-gestating. What hap… okay, so…
• 1:00:21
  Testecleese: Woman has a hysterectomy, she's no longer…
• 1:00:24
  Testecleese: capable of gestating. Which, by the way, gestating means… gestating means carrying the life inside your body, not menstruation, right? This is already fertilized. So, once you're…
• 1:00:38
  Testecleese: no longer gestating? Are you a non-gestating parent?
• 1:00:42
  Testecleese: Like, once the baby's born, is the female no longer a gestating parent?
• 1:00:47
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 1:00:48
  Testecleese: And this is, again, the whole thing with the… you just… you try to change the verbs you use, and the nouns you use, and the pronouns you use.
• 1:00:57
  Testecleese: And sound enlightened.
• 1:01:00
  Testecleese: But you're telling me that two men can have a baby and breastfeed it?
• 1:01:05
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:01:07
  Testecleese: I'm not a stupid man!
• 1:01:10
  Testecleese: Okay?
• 1:01:11
  Testecleese: I'm no… I'm no PhD in biology either, but I… I know that…
• 1:01:18
  Testecleese: Oh my god, I know how babies are made.
• 1:01:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, you have a couple.
• 1:01:23
  Testecleese: Yeah, I do, but this is why… this is why we have certain words that explain all of this stuff, and then they just… they want to say, no.
• 1:01:32
  Testecleese: I'm a special snowflake.
• 1:01:36
  Testecleese: That's why you're getting so many of these… I'm neither man nor woman.
• 1:01:41
  Testecleese: I'm non-binary. I'm too-spirited. Shut the fuck up.
• 1:01:46
  Testecleese: You can believe whatever garbage you want, and have your religious thing, whatever. I don't have to acknowledge it.
• 1:01:54
  Brian McFadden: No, not at all.
• 1:01:57
  Testecleese: You can burn the American flag in the street, which, by the way, you're technically not supposed to, because… no, not the flag-burning laws that were abolished, but because you're starting a fucking fire in a public space!
• 1:02:08
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:02:10
  Testecleese: But wiping your ass on private property of, with the LGBTQ flag will get you arrested in New York.
• 1:02:17
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:02:18
  Testecleese: Which I thought was hilarious, because it was the homeless people they loved so much, you just had to take a shit behind a fucking…
• 1:02:23
  Testecleese: bar.
• 1:02:25
  Testecleese: And the only thing they had to wipe his ass with was the flag.
• 1:02:30
  Testecleese: We talked about that when it happened. I thought it was New York.
• 1:02:33
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did.
• 1:02:36
  Brian McFadden: It was some blue state.
• 1:02:39
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:02:40
  Testecleese: And here's another one. I believe this is New York, too. They're teaching these kids in high school an adult supremacy elective course.
• 1:02:49
  Testecleese: About how, like, these kids are being subjugated in schools and stuff?
• 1:02:57
  Testecleese: Okay, no, let's go back to making school optional.
• 1:03:02
  Testecleese: For real.
• 1:03:04
  Testecleese: Not just optional, A private affair. You gotta pay for education for your children if you want it.
• 1:03:10
  Testecleese: But… We're… we're getting rid of all…
• 1:03:14
  Testecleese: social aid programs. No welfare, none of that shit, because you had a chance to go to school, and you said, I don't fucking want to, now you don't know how to do anything, you can't read, you can't do basic math.
• 1:03:28
  Testecleese: It's not my… if you… if you want to come out a fucking moron who can't read.
• 1:03:33
  Testecleese: Fine, that is not my responsibility.
• 1:03:37
  Testecleese: Opinions, Brian.
• 1:03:40
  Brian McFadden: That's not a bad idea.
• 1:03:44
  Testecleese: Or would you rather we crack down and start enforcing truancy laws and holding kids back? Because that's what I would rather see.
• 1:03:51
  Brian McFadden: Nobody's gonna do that. Well, I mean, your conservative states will, the red states will, but the blue states, they love the delinquency, they love stupid people, because the stupid people keep voting for them.
• 1:04:04
  Testecleese: But the stupid people are the reason why these states have no money, and that's why the Democrat Party's actually in…
• 1:04:09
  Testecleese: Well, they have $15 million, when they're actually in debt, $18 million. Meanwhile, the Republican Party's sitting on over $100 million, ready for their next,
• 1:04:19
  Testecleese: Election.
• 1:04:24
  Testecleese: And that's why we're getting so many of these young ladies going to OnlyFans. Well, I don't know how to do anything else. Fucking learn how to do it! Problem is, we didn't teach these kids how to learn anything.
• 1:04:34
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:04:36
  Testecleese: At best, even when I was in school, at best, for the most part, they were teaching us how to memorize and regurgitate, for the most part.
• 1:04:44
  Testecleese: Some of the stuff, they actually taught you how to think.
• 1:04:47
  Testecleese: and learn.
• 1:04:48
  Testecleese: But… Shit.
• 1:04:51
  Testecleese: You watch some of these kids studying philosophy today, and the crap coming out of their mouths…
• 1:04:56
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:04:57
  Testecleese: The stuff that they're entitled to for simply existing.
• 1:05:01
  Testecleese: I mean, it's like, who's going to get this for you?
• 1:05:05
  Brian McFadden: They're like.
• 1:05:06
  Testecleese: the wealthy. It's like, so you literally want everyone else to do it for you, so then why would anyone do it?
• 1:05:13
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:05:15
  Testecleese: Oh my god.
• 1:05:19
  Testecleese: I think you shared this one, maybe I did, I don't know.
• 1:05:23
  Testecleese: They're cracking down on Colorado.
• 1:05:25
  Brian McFadden: For sure.
• 1:05:25
  Testecleese: I'm not sure what… yeah, I'm not sure what cracking down means.
• 1:05:29
  Brian McFadden: Well, he put out the policy where… You put the spoil…
• 1:05:33
  Testecleese: Toyota wireless.
• 1:05:34
  Brian McFadden: What I find is women can't play in high school sports on the girls' team.
• 1:05:39
  Brian McFadden: Apparently, Colorado let it… one Colorado school district did.
• 1:05:44
  Testecleese: And here's what's crazy, is they're telling us… I keep hearing…
• 1:05:50
  Testecleese: It's less than 0.3% of the population.
• 1:05:53
  Testecleese: Why do you care? And first, I want to say, it's less than 0.3% of the population that's actually going through transition stuff.
• 1:06:00
  Testecleese: Versus, I claim to be…
• 1:06:02
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:06:04
  Testecleese: And the reason why it bothers me, if it's such a small piece of the population, why are you requiring 100% of society to adapt to them?
• 1:06:12
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:06:15
  Testecleese: And if it's .3% of the population, how does this one high school have 61 male athletes on the girls' teams?
• 1:06:24
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:06:26
  Testecleese: Not only do they have an exceptionally high number of Transphobic.
• 1:06:32
  Brian McFadden: Are they attracting transphobia trans people?
• 1:06:36
  Brian McFadden: Are they going out recruiting them?
• 1:06:38
  Testecleese: And how are they all athletes?
• 1:06:41
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:06:42
  Testecleese: Are they going out and finding the, the mail, the… X… the XX chromosomes.
• 1:06:49
  Testecleese: that want to be XY and bring them to the school to play sports, because they will win?
• 1:06:55
  Testecleese: This is… nuts.
• 1:06:58
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:06:59
  Testecleese: This is something that has to be addressed, we… oh my god.
• 1:07:03
  Testecleese: In the 90s, we would have called all these people enablers.
• 1:07:09
  Brian McFadden: Very well.
• 1:07:11
  Testecleese: Yeah. Guy's got a fucking drinking problem, it's obvious he's got a drinking problem. He's trying to stop drinking, but you call him every fucking Friday and Saturday night, ask him to go to the bar with you. You're enabling his addiction, you know?
• 1:07:23
  Testecleese: And we're doing the same thing here, just… oh my god, just like you're not gonna frickin'…
• 1:07:28
  Testecleese: help an anorexic girl… I'm sorry, a bulimic girl throw up more.
• 1:07:32
  Testecleese: Because she is fat, you know?
• 1:07:39
  Testecleese: So, yeah, okay, when they say cracking down, what does that mean? Are they actually gonna do something about it, or are they just.
• 1:07:44
  Brian McFadden: Waving the finger.
• 1:07:46
  Testecleese: They're waving their finger.
• 1:07:47
  Brian McFadden: Well, the Trump administration tries to do stuff, but then the federal courts get involved, and…
• 1:07:53
  Brian McFadden: Slow the whole process down.
• 1:07:54
  Testecleese: Exactly, if he tries to cut funding to this school.
• 1:07:58
  Testecleese: Rosenthal is gonna step in, right?
• 1:08:00
  Brian McFadden: Or Bosenberg.
• 1:08:02
  Testecleese: Oh, Bosenberg, that's right, that's right! That was one I was actually thinking of, I can't believe I came up with Rosenthal.
• 1:08:08
  Testecleese: Yeah, but yeah, it's a handful of judges, and they seem to get every single one of these cases, which is really weird, isn't it?
• 1:08:15
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:08:16
  Testecleese: It's supposed to be a random lottery, right?
• 1:08:18
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:08:22
  Testecleese: Oh!
• 1:08:24
  Testecleese: The 8647 thing apparently has come to a conclusion.
• 1:08:30
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:08:32
  Testecleese: I'm gonna keep that in mind.
• 1:08:36
  Testecleese: Because apparently it is okay to put out 8-6, and then somebody… And… Publish it.
• 1:08:45
  Testecleese: 86 of them.
• 1:08:48
  Testecleese: I want this to be remembered, because when the next Democrat president comes into office, I am going to do the same thing.
• 1:08:55
  Brian McFadden: Oh, huh?
• 1:08:58
  Testecleese: And… I hope I don't get in trouble, because not only did they say him putting it on social media wasn't a big deal, but they said that they're allowed to fly it,
• 1:09:07
  Testecleese: on the grounds just outside the Capitol, right?
• 1:09:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:09:10
  Testecleese: Right outside the mall.
• 1:09:13
  Testecleese: a flag.
• 1:09:17
  Testecleese: What is 8647 supposed to mean, if it doesn't mean,
• 1:09:21
  Testecleese: 8 miles out of the city, 6 feet underground.
• 1:09:26
  Brian McFadden: 47 being the number of the president.
• 1:09:29
  Testecleese: Exactly, and 47th president.
• 1:09:31
  Testecleese: What else could it mean?
• 1:09:36
  Testecleese: And…
• 1:09:40
  Testecleese: I don't know, that… see, here's the thing is, if these Democrats want us to think that they're dumb and don't understand why people are upset.
• 1:09:47
  Testecleese: Then why do they want it so bad if they don't know… if it doesn't mean anything?
• 1:09:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, this is…
• 1:09:56
  Testecleese: Again, the… this… again, this is them playing with… words, and… Bunch of people…
• 1:10:05
  Testecleese: I think I'm gonna do it, dude, I think I'm gonna actually register Republican, but the problem is, after Trump's out.
• 1:10:10
  Testecleese: The Republican Party's gonna go back to normal.
• 1:10:14
  Testecleese: And the Democrats might, too.
• 1:10:18
  Testecleese: Oh, no, I think there's a fair chance that if the Republicans…
• 1:10:23
  Testecleese: get rid of Trump, but stay the same.
• 1:10:27
  Testecleese: they can become more popular as moderates, and the Democrats are gonna have to dump their, their progressives and the socialists.
• 1:10:34
  Testecleese: Correct. Or… or just be voted out every time.
• 1:10:40
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:10:42
  Testecleese: I think both of us shared something about this. Scott Basent, he's, not speaker.
• 1:10:51
  Brian McFadden: No, he's the Treasury Secretary, isn't he?
• 1:10:54
  Testecleese: That's right. Oh, that's right, okay. Why did he get yelled at, and what's going on with that?
• 1:11:00
  Brian McFadden: He got yelled at in a House Ways and Means Committee.
• 1:11:06
  Brian McFadden: It was a shouting match back and forth. This guy's from Chicago, he's a Democrat.
• 1:11:11
  Brian McFadden: And, scott Bezzett got frustrated so much that, he finally came back at the Democrat, Snyder, saying.
• 1:11:23
  Brian McFadden: This is why so many people are fleeing Chicago and Illinois.
• 1:11:28
  Testecleese: Yay.
• 1:11:29
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:11:31
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:11:33
  Testecleese: What we've been saying for a while, we've been fall… we've been tracking the migration out of these places.
• 1:11:41
  Testecleese: I haven't checked the actual numbers in a little while, but last time I checked the numbers was on the show with you.
• 1:11:49
  Testecleese: And we found out that Massachusetts was the most moved out of state, and West Virginia was the most moved into state. That might have been right when I moved here, actually. I'm like, oh, look at that!
• 1:11:59
  Testecleese: I might actually, you know, I think it was shortly after, I was like, oh, I'm just ahead of the curve.
• 1:12:03
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:12:06
  Testecleese: You shared this one, then I saw this in, like, 6 places.
• 1:12:12
  Testecleese: Okay, what did you… What's… tell me what… tell me about this, and what do you think about it?
• 1:12:19
  Brian McFadden: Well, apparently, this, this YouTuber and his wife, he and her got a pregnancy, she was pregnant, and they got a Down syndrome diagnosis, which I don't think…
• 1:12:34
  Brian McFadden: It's 100% that, it can be…
• 1:12:37
  Brian McFadden: determined, but they decided to terminate the pregnancy over the chance of Down syndrome.
• 1:12:42
  Brian McFadden: And,
• 1:12:44
  Brian McFadden: Most of his… a lot of his followers are not happy with that decision. I mean, I guess you can make that decision, but why do you have to put it on YouTube?
• 1:12:55
  Testecleese: Well, that's the thing is, he came out after the fact when he got ripped apart.
• 1:12:58
  Testecleese: And I was like, oh, fuck all of you. It's like, we're dealing with the loss of a child, and it goes on and on. It's like, you didn't lose a child, you terminated it, because there was a high probab- a higher than average probability of Down syndrome.
• 1:13:10
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:13:11
  Testecleese: And then, instead of going, oh, wow, this sucks with a difficult decision, you published it and told everyone about it for clicks. You monetized your abortion, that's what people hated.
• 1:13:23
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:13:26
  Testecleese: Here's the question, was it real, or was it a hoax? Was this something to get a shit ton of clicks on his video, and people… and talking about him?
• 1:13:36
  Brian McFadden: Good question.
• 1:13:36
  Testecleese: That's a thing people do, and all of a sudden, people are…
• 1:13:39
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:13:40
  Testecleese: All the commenters are clicking on your video to comment on it, you know?
• 1:13:46
  Testecleese: But yeah, man, he… Yeah, the test, it is not, yes, your child has an extra
• 1:13:55
  Testecleese: 721st chromosome, whatever.
• 1:14:00
  Testecleese: It's just a high… higher than average probability. Yeah. And this is… this is what we would call eugenics.
• 1:14:06
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:14:07
  Testecleese: And even the Democrats don't like that, because then…
• 1:14:11
  Testecleese: Then, you're gonna en- let's be real…
• 1:14:14
  Testecleese: If eugenics was an acceptable thing, if you could go and look at the genes of the kid, which sometimes you can, depending.
• 1:14:21
  Testecleese: And… and make a decision, then you're gonna get a lot more blue-eyed, blonde-haired children.
• 1:14:28
  Testecleese: And we know this. We know this.
• 1:14:32
  Brian McFadden: That sounds like… Particular…
• 1:14:36
  Testecleese: Yes. Exactly, and that's a big reason why the Democrats hate the idea of eugenics.
• 1:14:42
  Testecleese: Because they know, Blue eyes are seen as prettier. It… it…
• 1:14:48
  Testecleese: Let me go ahead and say it, the handful of black folk I've ever known with blue eyes.
• 1:14:52
  Testecleese: It looks especially gorgeous on black folk.
• 1:14:55
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 1:14:56
  Testecleese: Typically speaking, if they're very, very dark, it looks weird.
• 1:15:01
  Testecleese: Sorry, I got this new mustache comb.
• 1:15:05
  Testecleese: And lost my last one and went on the cruise.
• 1:15:10
  Testecleese: Because it was metal. Metal detectors everywhere.
• 1:15:13
  Testecleese: I gotta train this thing to stay out of my mouth again. I know I keep brushing it, but…
• 1:15:21
  Testecleese: But yeah, like I said, you'd end up with more blonde-haired, blue-eyed children that are… the males will be, you know, 6'2",
• 1:15:31
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:15:34
  Testecleese: And that's something that these folks don't want, but it's like, oh, I don't want to put in the work for…
• 1:15:38
  Testecleese: Down syndrome, so I'm just gonna go ahead and execute my baby now.
• 1:15:43
  Testecleese: Right. And, you know… Right.
• 1:15:49
  Testecleese: Man, this is… you're getting into some murky water here, and like I said, nobody likes the idea of doing this.
• 1:15:55
  Testecleese: Even your pro, your pro-choice people, like, that's a bad reason to abort a baby, you know?
• 1:16:04
  Testecleese: -
• 1:16:04
  Testecleese: Which, let's be real, the reason why they aborted the baby is the same reason why your average
• 1:16:10
  Testecleese: Your average abortion happens, because I…
• 1:16:13
  Testecleese: Everyone's talking about the less than 1% of the case of, like, rape.
• 1:16:17
  Testecleese: That's actually… that's actually a reason for abortion. Usually it's…
• 1:16:21
  Testecleese: I can't afford this, and I don't want to put in the work.
• 1:16:25
  Testecleese: Which is the same thing these folks said, honestly. I don't want to buy special equipment.
• 1:16:31
  Testecleese: hire people, I can't put in the time and the effort. Same thing.
• 1:16:38
  Testecleese: if you apply the logic, but these pro-choicers just don't see it. Because you're just as offended by this as you are as…
• 1:16:46
  Testecleese: Evening.
• 1:16:47
  Testecleese: You're a strong Christian. You're just as offended by a woman who was raped having an abortion.
• 1:16:55
  Testecleese: As you are by this, aren't you?
• 1:16:57
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:16:58
  Testecleese: Because it's… the baby did nothing wrong.
• 1:17:01
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:17:02
  Testecleese: And yes, it's unfortunate, it's horrible circumstances.
• 1:17:08
  Testecleese: But doesn't mean this child deserves to die.
• 1:17:10
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:17:11
  Testecleese: No, Brian's got a video.
• 1:17:14
  Testecleese: You got sound ready, too? Oh my god, I know, I know, I was the one who shared the view.
• 1:17:20
  Testecleese: We might have to bring back the view segment, Brian.
• 1:17:24
  Testecleese: Gonna have to get the chickens clucking again.
• 1:17:26
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: about this country, because I feel that it is, at this point, a failed experiment, quite frankly. I am also…
• 1:17:33
  Testecleese: the $100 million.
• 1:17:34
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: by how this country is viewed by the rest of the world. You think it's already failed? You don't think it's… do you think it's beyond redemption at this point? I think at this point, it is failing. It is a fail. You don't think elections could bring it back, a change could bring it closer to the vision? I spoke to President Clinton when he was here off-camera, and…
• 1:17:54
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: He believes that it's going to take this country decades to recover from what has been done.
• 1:18:02
  Testecleese: by Obama spending.
• 1:18:04
  Testecleese: Right?
• 1:18:06
  Brian McFadden: I would hope so.
• 1:18:07
  Testecleese: Clinton actually Had a plan to budget, balance the budget, which never actually went to… came to fruition.
• 1:18:14
  Brian McFadden: But I'm sure that's not what they were talking about. They were talking about Trump.
• 1:18:18
  Testecleese: You know, what did Trump do that's gonna take decades to fix, let's be real.
• 1:18:22
  Brian McFadden: The Supreme Court…
• 1:18:24
  Testecleese: Don't even say… don't even say the deportation thing, because it took Joe Biden 4 years To bring in…
• 1:18:32
  Brian McFadden: Millions.
• 1:18:32
  Testecleese: Way more than Trump can get rid of.
• 1:18:37
  Testecleese: Okay, Supreme Court.
• 1:18:39
  Testecleese: No, it won't. The dem… Kamala Harris already came out and said, as soon as the Democrats are an office, they're gonna pack the court. They came out and said it.
• 1:18:47
  Testecleese: It's not even a right-wing conspiracy anymore, they've come out and said it.
• 1:18:54
  Testecleese: It's funny, you shared this article, then about 4 minutes later, I saw the same thing somewhere else.
• 1:19:01
  Testecleese: I'm a big fan of the Black Crow's music, dude.
• 1:19:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they… I like their music, too.
• 1:19:06
  Testecleese: Hey, little thing, let me light your candles, mama, I'm sure all to Hannah now, yes I am, wow, wow, wow.
• 1:19:13
  Testecleese: Well, apparently they were in Florida and ran their mouths.
• 1:19:20
  Testecleese: Well, I guess they showed their mascot or whatever, wearing, like, an American flag shirt, and everyone started chanting USA.
• 1:19:26
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they didn't like that.
• 1:19:28
  Testecleese: Yeah, the main vocalist, which, by the way, these guys are brothers.
• 1:19:32
  Testecleese: And they've broken up, like.
• 1:19:34
  Testecleese: They had a major breakup way back in the day. It broke the band up, but then it come back just to do tours.
• 1:19:41
  Testecleese: Which makes me think that the other major… main member of this band may not agree with him. That might be why they broke up. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt.
• 1:19:47
  Testecleese: But yeah, they started chanting USA, and he starts screaming, he's like, oh, thanks for the geography lesson, idiots.
• 1:19:53
  Testecleese: Anyways, what do you have to be so proud about? And just not running his mouth and calling Americans ignorant?
• 1:19:59
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:20:00
  Testecleese: And it's like, it's like, dude, you don't know who your audience is.
• 1:20:03
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:20:04
  Testecleese: That was… It says it in there somewhere, I think it was close to half the audience left.
• 1:20:11
  Testecleese: when he started running his mouth. Problem is, he already got your money by then.
• 1:20:14
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly, they paid for their tickets already, so he… he… he didn't lose any money in the process.
• 1:20:20
  Testecleese: No, maybe he'll sell…
• 1:20:22
  Brian McFadden: Let's take it snaps.
• 1:20:23
  Testecleese: For the next show?
• 1:20:24
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:20:24
  Testecleese: Maybe.
• 1:20:29
  Testecleese: But yeah, I was just like, wow, you guys haven't been relevant since, like, the 1990s.
• 1:20:34
  Brian McFadden: I'm surprised they're still able to go on tour, and they're not doing, like, the E-Clubs on bases, or something like that, you know?
• 1:20:40
  Testecleese: They had a couple big hits.
• 1:20:43
  Testecleese: Baby, here I am, a man on the upseen. I can give you what you want, but you got to come home to me.
• 1:20:51
  Brian McFadden: I remember seeing Quiet Riot in the E-Club in San Diego back in the day.
• 1:20:56
  Testecleese: Come on, feel the noise.
• 1:20:57
  Brian McFadden: Yo…
• 1:20:59
  Testecleese: Girls, rock your boys!
• 1:21:01
  Testecleese: We want more, more, more… yeah, I've never heard of them, dude.
• 1:21:09
  Brian McFadden: That's their only hit! It's the only song that people recognize from.
• 1:21:17
  Testecleese: down in Connecticut at this place called the Pulse Nightclub, and I saw a great white.
• 1:21:21
  Brian McFadden: Nice. I've seen Gray White in concert, too.
• 1:21:23
  Testecleese: Oh, no, dude, that was where the… that was where.
• 1:21:26
  Brian McFadden: Clare.
• 1:21:26
  Testecleese: turned down and killed everybody, yeah.
• 1:21:30
  Brian McFadden: You were there, huh?
• 1:21:31
  Testecleese: No! Oh, God, no.
• 1:21:33
  Brian McFadden: Actually, I was…
• 1:21:34
  Testecleese: I was still in the Navy when that happened.
• 1:21:37
  Brian McFadden: God.
• 1:21:38
  Testecleese: Alright, did you hear this NOAC story?
• 1:21:42
  Brian McFadden: Harry.
• 1:21:42
  Testecleese: Now whack out of…
• 1:21:43
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:21:45
  Testecleese: It's a year old!
• 1:21:47
  Testecleese: And I'm a little frustrated I didn't hear about it until now, but it's everywhere now.
• 1:21:51
  Testecleese: Because the trial just happened.
• 1:21:54
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:21:54
  Testecleese: This… this 18-year-old British kid was walking home from something.
• 1:22:02
  Testecleese: got confronted by some Indian man of, sick. Seek?
• 1:22:08
  Testecleese: religious background.
• 1:22:10
  Testecleese: S-I-H-K-A?
• 1:22:12
  Testecleese: Yeah. The turban folks. Pardon my racism.
• 1:22:18
  Testecleese: Dude stabs him 5 times.
• 1:22:21
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:22:23
  Testecleese: The man who stabbed his family shows up, his mom takes the murder weapon, not murder weapon, the weapon.
• 1:22:31
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:22:31
  Testecleese: And hides it.
• 1:22:33
  Testecleese: Now, the only reason why this man was allowed to carry this blade on him
• 1:22:37
  Testecleese: Because it was a part of his religion.
• 1:22:39
  Brian McFadden: Hmm, okay.
• 1:22:41
  Testecleese: Yes.
• 1:22:43
  Testecleese: She goes and hides the blade, and then calls the cops.
• 1:22:46
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:22:47
  Testecleese: The cops show up.
• 1:22:49
  Testecleese: They point at the man laying on the ground, who's having trouble breathing, and they say.
• 1:22:54
  Testecleese: he called me… racist word. There's a video on one of… and more than one of these. Actually, I have one of… the one that says body cam footage, that's why it's in there.
• 1:23:06
  Testecleese: Says, he called me racist word and smacked the turban off my head.
• 1:23:11
  Testecleese: So, the police arrest the kid who's been stabbed.
• 1:23:16
  Testecleese: in the said, I've been stabbed, I can't breathe, and…
• 1:23:20
  Testecleese: I only know this because the body cam footage, you can hear this, and you can see his pale skin, because there's no blood left in his body.
• 1:23:27
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:23:28
  Testecleese: And he keeps saying, I've been stabbed, I'm dying, I'm dying…
• 1:23:33
  Testecleese: And the cop says, I don't think you have, mate.
• 1:23:36
  Testecleese: another woman cop says, maybe we should tech him for stab wounds, and he goes, don't bother, he wasn't stabbed. And then this young man drowned in his own blood.
• 1:23:46
  Brian McFadden: Wow.
• 1:23:47
  Testecleese: One police… okay. Now, the man who killed him, I believe it was Sigwa.
• 1:23:52
  Testecleese: Is his last name. Has been convicted, life sentence, that's at least 21 years.
• 1:23:58
  Testecleese: In, this nation, right?
• 1:24:01
  Testecleese: Now, in case anyone's saying, why are you bringing up this case from over there? These people rioted over George Floyd here in Minnesota.
• 1:24:08
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:24:09
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 1:24:12
  Testecleese: This man was… this young man was murdered by this man, and put… placed into handcuffs because he simply pointed and said, racist.
• 1:24:21
  Testecleese: And the cops did not care to hear this kid speak.
• 1:24:25
  Testecleese: This body cam footage, it's…
• 1:24:27
  Testecleese: The faces are blurred out, but it's… it's really gross. If you could play it, it would be awesome.
• 1:24:33
  Brian McFadden: Alright, let me see here…
• 1:24:36
  Testecleese: But the only outrage that happened came during the trial, because the body cam video was released to the public.
• 1:24:45
  Testecleese: And there were riots, but there was… it was, like, a thousand people here and there.
• 1:24:50
  Testecleese: flipping out and screaming and chucking bottles. The friggin' government came out and was like.
• 1:24:55
  Testecleese: You guys all need to calm down, you're not acting like true Brits who need to handle this properly. Meanwhile, they were cheering on the George Floyd riots in the United Kingdom.
• 1:25:04
  Brian McFadden: This thing has a screenshot, not the body cam.
• 1:25:07
  Testecleese: Oh, well, one of these must have a video, that sucks. That really sucks, I thought it was a whole video.
• 1:25:14
  Testecleese: Nigel Farage did come out and say.
• 1:25:16
  Testecleese: White lives matter just as much as black lives.
• 1:25:20
  Testecleese: But then…
• 1:25:22
  Testecleese: These journalists were jumping on the White Lives Matter part, not the just as much as Black Lives.
• 1:25:29
  Testecleese: And they called them racist. And then they said that people need to respond with a,
• 1:25:34
  Testecleese: Great fury, and then all these reporters, like, you said they need to come up with this great white fury over this, or great white rage.
• 1:25:42
  Testecleese: they're literally
• 1:25:44
  Testecleese: making this shit up, and now they're saying that the fucking family of the murderer is afraid, and these other six Sikhs are afraid to go out in public. And it's like, dude.
• 1:25:57
  Testecleese: What the fuck?
• 1:26:01
  Testecleese: why is it not okay to be white in the United Kingdom? Like…
• 1:26:05
  Brian McFadden: Are you looking for the body… the cam footage of the… the rioters?
• 1:26:10
  Testecleese: No, I was looking for the… of the kid dying on the ground, saying, I can't breathe, I can't breathe. I know the footage is out there, but I thought it was in one of these, maybe not.
• 1:26:22
  Testecleese: If you got the ride footage, go ahead and bring that one up.
• 1:26:26
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:26:28
  Testecleese: Yeah, but yeah, it says this… it says this 6…
• 1:26:31
  Testecleese: are scared to leave their homes due to a politicization of the Nowak killing.
• 1:26:40
  Testecleese: shoot, even John Cleese said something, giving, Keir Steiner a hard time, and called… he's calling him two-year… two-tier Kier.
• 1:26:51
  Testecleese: There we go, protesters demanding justice for every now active descender on Southampton.
• 1:26:55
  Testecleese: Hmm.
• 1:26:56
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Paris meet at the…
• 1:26:57
  Testecleese: crash.
• 1:26:57
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Just in the right place.
• 1:27:03
  Testecleese: By the way, this kid's last words were, I can't breathe.
• 1:27:06
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: Just like George Floyd.
• 1:27:07
  Testecleese: Lloyd.
• 1:27:11
  Audio shared by Brian McFadden: So, what the protesters were saying there was.
• 1:27:14
  Testecleese: So there you go, all those people were on their knees, screaming, and they… some of them got arrested.
• 1:27:21
  Testecleese: That… that's a violent protest.
• 1:27:24
  Testecleese: Wow.
• 1:27:25
  Brian McFadden: That wasn't violent at all.
• 1:27:28
  Testecleese: Yeah, it's just amazing what the difference is, because if this was a bunch…
• 1:27:35
  Testecleese: If there's anything besides white men saying, what the fuck, why… why did…
• 1:27:40
  Testecleese: Why aren't these police seeing criminal charges, just like,
• 1:27:45
  Testecleese: Oh my god, what's his name?
• 1:27:49
  Brian McFadden: In Minnesota, I know who you're talking about.
• 1:27:51
  Testecleese: Yeah, I can't think of his name. By the way, I just want to point out that the Asian cop who had his back to the scene the whole time, just doing crowd control.
• 1:28:00
  Testecleese: is in prison, too, for the, George Floyd thing.
• 1:28:06
  Testecleese: For simply being there, but these cops said, no, and now they can… their big argument is, well, we couldn't have saved his life anyway. You didn't even try.
• 1:28:16
  Testecleese: Right. You assumed he was guilty because someone else called the white man racist.
• 1:28:23
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:28:24
  Testecleese: You're just getting arrested because someone points at you and says racist now?
• 1:28:32
  Testecleese: Dude!
• 1:28:34
  Testecleese: Dude, I might have to use my American visa and go over there, and get myself good and tanned up first, and just start throwing…
• 1:28:41
  Testecleese: friggin' elected officials into prison in the United Kingdom by just pointing at them and saying, racist.
• 1:28:52
  Testecleese: Now, I know I've said this a couple times on the show here and there, we don't usually do video. Even when we do, I look very white.
• 1:28:57
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:29:01
  Testecleese: I got enough native skin, enough native heritage, that I… I turn golden brown out in the sun.
• 1:29:08
  Brian McFadden: Like Elizabeth Warren.
• 1:29:10
  Testecleese: Yeah, but I actually, tan instead of burning and peeling, because she's freaking, Norwegian.
• 1:29:18
  Testecleese: But claimed her high cheekbones were because she was Native American, like a racist would.
• 1:29:28
  Testecleese: It's too bad we couldn't… I thought we had the video of this kid, begging for help.
• 1:29:33
  Testecleese: Begging for an ambulance, and they kept saying, no, no, no, no.
• 1:29:37
  Brian McFadden: Right. That would have been good.
• 1:29:41
  Testecleese: Alright. Remember, we mentioned something about this, this hooker.
• 1:29:49
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, we did. These were sailors, it's the sailing thing attracted.
• 1:29:54
  Testecleese: It was in follow-up for a while, but then I was like, this is a second one, I don't remember it well enough.
• 1:29:58
  Brian McFadden: I can refresh your memory.
• 1:30:00
  Testecleese: I fell over.
• 1:30:01
  Brian McFadden: His wife went overboard on their way back to the sailboat. They were in a dinghy, a little small boat that they used to get to shore from the sailboat, and it was rough weather. Most people down there said that they shouldn't have used that small of a boat in that conditions.
• 1:30:21
  Brian McFadden: Apparently, wasn't wearing a life vest.
• 1:30:23
  Brian McFadden: Even in rough conditions, which I think's crazy, and she went missing.
• 1:30:29
  Brian McFadden: And, hasn't… the body still hasn't been recovered. This happened months ago.
• 1:30:34
  Brian McFadden: He was, detained for a little while by behind police and authorities and the FBI. They let him go.
• 1:30:41
  Testecleese: Bahamas now, right?
• 1:30:42
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. And then they let him go, he came back to the U.S. to supposedly help take care of his ailing mother.
• 1:30:49
  Brian McFadden: But now he has disappeared again.
• 1:30:53
  Testecleese: And they think he sailed off to Mexico?
• 1:30:56
  Brian McFadden: I don't know what he sailed off in, because he impounded his boat in the Bahamas, and then just this week, they impounded his, his dinghy, the Coast Guard did.
• 1:31:05
  Testecleese: Mmm.
• 1:31:07
  Brian McFadden: And now they've got Coast Guard Divies searching the Bahama waters for her to try to find her body.
• 1:31:14
  Brian McFadden: But… yeah.
• 1:31:17
  Brian McFadden: He sure looks guilty.
• 1:31:19
  Brian McFadden: But there's no proof that he's guilty.
• 1:31:23
  Testecleese: Yeah, interesting stuff. I just want to bring this up again, I guess, about illegal immigration.
• 1:31:31
  Testecleese: This is a trope from the United States, go to Mexico if you break the law, right?
• 1:31:37
  Testecleese: Yeah, what makes you think people aren't doing this the other way around to evade law enforcement?
• 1:31:41
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:31:42
  Testecleese: And now, if this guy did go to Mexico, this is now the murderer in Mexico.
• 1:31:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, this applies the other way around. This is what Trump… when he said they're not sending their best, that's what he was referring to.
• 1:31:55
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:32:00
  Testecleese: I don't know, you give a shit about the space station? I guess there were some leaks in the space station the Russians had to fix?
• 1:32:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they didn't fix them.
• 1:32:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, they did.
• 1:32:10
  Brian McFadden: chairs.
• 1:32:11
  Brian McFadden: No, they stopped the repairs, and so everybody went back to their areas in the space station.
• 1:32:17
  Testecleese: Okay, so why are the Russians doing so much of this?
• 1:32:21
  Brian McFadden: Because they're co-owners of the ISS.
• 1:32:25
  Testecleese: Yeah, so are in a couple other countries. How come we don't hear about.
• 1:32:28
  Brian McFadden: It was the Russian module that was leaking.
• 1:32:32
  Testecleese: Of course it was.
• 1:32:35
  Testecleese: Of course it was.
• 1:32:38
  Testecleese: So now the United States has been busy long enough in, Iran…
• 1:32:43
  Brian McFadden: Alright, you…
• 1:32:44
  Testecleese: Yeah, now Ukraine wants to end this war with Russia, because the United States isn't there, just in case.
• 1:32:50
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, we're not paying any attention to the… the Americans have even stopped caring about the Ukraine. But here's what…
• 1:32:55
  Testecleese: I did this years ago, though.
• 1:32:57
  Brian McFadden: I know, but the funny thing is, is… I wonder what's really going on over there, because I was listening to today's No Agenda show.
• 1:33:04
  Testecleese: I keep hearing about thousands dying, and I'm like, how do they have any people left of that?
• 1:33:08
  Brian McFadden: But… but… but the No Agenda show, you know, they have these meetups around the world where listeners get together and, you know, get together, drink beer, talk about the show, and talk about politics.
• 1:33:21
  Testecleese: General Show South.
• 1:33:22
  Brian McFadden: There's a meetup happening in Ukraine this month.
• 1:33:27
  Brian McFadden: So if it's such a war-torn country.
• 1:33:31
  Brian McFadden: Why would people be getting together to do a No Agenda Show meetup?
• 1:33:35
  Testecleese: Because if you're not… that's the thing, is when people think war-torn, they think the entire place is blown up. There's a front line, and then behind that, it's usually pretty safe.
• 1:33:43
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:33:46
  Testecleese: I mean… The entire French countryside wasn't fucking shelled, you know what I mean?
• 1:33:51
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:33:52
  Testecleese: And they were, they were… they swapped hands how many times in 10 years?
• 1:33:56
  Brian McFadden: But now, Zelensky wants to meet with Putin.
• 1:34:00
  Brian McFadden: To talk about ending the war.
• 1:34:03
  Testecleese: Yeah, and it's funny, because this article's like, there are plenty of nations that are known for doing these, you know, war-ending talks, like Saudi Arabia, and listed a couple of them, and I was like.
• 1:34:14
  Testecleese: Yeah,
• 1:34:18
  Testecleese: I don't know, maybe I've just been following this shit too long, because it's always, like, the same seven nations over there that they're doing the negotiations in, right?
• 1:34:25
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:34:26
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:34:27
  Testecleese: Because isn't most of the stuff with Iran happening in Saudi Arabia?
• 1:34:31
  Brian McFadden: Yo.
• 1:34:32
  Brian McFadden: Sure is.
• 1:34:35
  Testecleese: It's funny, I keep wondering what would happen.
• 1:34:38
  Testecleese: If they went into one of these talks in Saudi Arabia with Iran and just assassinated everyone on the panel from…
• 1:34:44
  Testecleese: Iran. I was like, nobody… trust me, no one in the world would appreciate it.
• 1:34:50
  Testecleese: But what would happen?
• 1:34:55
  Testecleese: You know, like, is the UK finally gonna pull out of NATO because the United States did that, or are they gonna go, fuck? They're better on our side.
• 1:35:09
  Testecleese: Okay, you have no opinion on that one, I guess.
• 1:35:12
  Brian McFadden: -
• 1:35:13
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 1:35:15
  Testecleese: looks like…
• 1:35:18
  Brian McFadden: ICE is gonna get… ICE and Border Patrol are getting their funding package for the remainder of Trump's presidency.
• 1:35:26
  Testecleese: Yeah. We were talking about this before, how they did a good chunk of it, and it's like, well, what happens after that? And they've already secured that.
• 1:35:35
  Testecleese: And.
• 1:35:35
  Brian McFadden: through budget reconciliation. For the people that don't realize what budget reconciliation is, this is the same thing that Obama used to push through that great healthcare system that everybody loves now, Obamacare.
• 1:35:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, I'm just gonna move the money from here to there instead.
• 1:35:53
  Testecleese: Right?
• 1:35:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and it can be voted… it can be approved in the Senate on, simple majority.
• 1:36:01
  Testecleese: And what, one Republican voted against this, and it was the Alaskan senator.
• 1:36:08
  Brian McFadden: Oh, she's useless anyway.
• 1:36:10
  Testecleese: Wow.
• 1:36:11
  Brian McFadden: Her and Susan Collins vote against the Republicans more than they vote with them.
• 1:36:18
  Testecleese: Yeah, Susan Collins 64% of the time, and I only know that because I heard that number today.
• 1:36:23
  Testecleese: but, let's be real, Susan Collins… She's in Maine, right?
• 1:36:32
  Testecleese: No?
• 1:36:34
  Brian McFadden: Susan Collins is main… And then, I'm trying to… Can't remember the…
• 1:36:39
  Testecleese: The Alaskan woman's name.
• 1:36:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, I mean, that's better than you're gonna get from Maine in general, though. Like, she's the best you're gonna do with a Republican.
• 1:36:50
  Testecleese: So the Republicans just better accept it, you know what I mean?
• 1:36:53
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:36:53
  Testecleese: Instead of doing what they did to Massey.
• 1:36:55
  Brian McFadden: Murkowski.
• 1:36:57
  Testecleese: Murkowski. Okay.
• 1:36:58
  Testecleese: Because I keep… I'm still looking at these shit, these poly market things.
• 1:37:05
  Testecleese: of them are still expecting a fucking, blue sweep, and I'm like, that's just impossible.
• 1:37:11
  Testecleese: It's impossible. There's no way they're gonna get…
• 1:37:13
  Testecleese: every swing state AND flip Alaska.
• 1:37:17
  Testecleese: Or Texas.
• 1:37:19
  Testecleese: to take over the Congress.
• 1:37:22
  Testecleese: There's just… there's no way it's gonna happen.
• 1:37:25
  Testecleese: Because they said this last time, like, oh, we're gonna get every swing state, then Trump got every single swing state.
• 1:37:30
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:37:30
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:37:33
  Brian McFadden: Yep, he sure did.
• 1:37:35
  Testecleese: I keep thinking about getting involved in it, but it seems too much like gambling to me.
• 1:37:41
  Testecleese: Wow.
• 1:37:42
  Testecleese: I saw this article.
• 1:37:46
  Testecleese: Saw it wasn't anywhere near us, it didn't really care much.
• 1:37:49
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:37:50
  Testecleese: But, what?
• 1:37:52
  Testecleese: a migrant vessel, I guess, Coast Guard took pictures of, but it was way over by Turkey, right?
• 1:38:03
  Testecleese: It was over capacity by, like, 200 people or something silly.
• 1:38:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:38:10
  Testecleese: Man…
• 1:38:15
  Testecleese: You just… you…
• 1:38:17
  Testecleese: you're begging for something horrible to happen. With that many people on a boat, it's easily gonna capsize and kill.
• 1:38:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:38:23
  Testecleese: Almost everyone, because everyone's gonna grab onto everyone else to try to get above water.
• 1:38:28
  Testecleese: And they're all gonna go to the bottom, you know?
• 1:38:30
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:38:33
  Testecleese: This is the same thing that we were saying about…
• 1:38:36
  Testecleese: people trying to cross, like, the Rio… across the desert, then swim across the Rio, it's like, no, you're probably gonna die in the…
• 1:38:42
  Testecleese: in the trip.
• 1:38:44
  Testecleese: Right. Don't… it's not worth the risk.
• 1:38:46
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:38:47
  Testecleese: But then we started handing out free housing, free food, free phones.
• 1:38:52
  Brian McFadden: And that it was worth the risk.
• 1:38:53
  Testecleese: Now it's worth the risk, exactly.
• 1:38:56
  Testecleese: And again, as soon as Trump came into office, no one was doing it anymore, because they're not going to get the free housing, the free food, you know what I mean?
• 1:39:03
  Brian McFadden: They're not getting the free debit card.
• 1:39:05
  Testecleese: Yeah, you're getting turned away at the border, now you gotta turn around in Mexico and go back to fucking Honduras.
• 1:39:11
  Testecleese: With a loaf of bread and not… 15 pesos in your pocket, you know?
• 1:39:15
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:39:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, this guy, Jack Carr, he's some American vet.
• 1:39:28
  Brian McFadden: Apparently, the students weren't gonna stand for the present allegiance, and he… Talked him into it.
• 1:39:34
  Testecleese: Yeah, he did 20 years as a SEAL sniper.
• 1:39:38
  Testecleese: And these kids just didn't understand why they should stay in for the pledge.
• 1:39:42
  Testecleese: And he just did a talk at the school, this local, his local high school.
• 1:39:47
  Testecleese: And I started coming back, and, you know, about, you know, the stuff he was doing, and why, and etc, but, you know, nothing graphic.
• 1:39:54
  Testecleese: and now almost everyone's standing for the pledge, but the thing is, I don't like the idea of the Pledge of Allegiance in schools.
• 1:40:01
  Testecleese: This is my libertarian coming out. These high school kids, these elementary school kids, have no idea what that means.
• 1:40:08
  Brian McFadden: Hmm.
• 1:40:09
  Testecleese: To pledge allegiance to the flag and the nation, to which it stands.
• 1:40:13
  Brian McFadden: Well, I mean, that's a failure of education to not teach them that, when they're having them say it.
• 1:40:19
  Testecleese: Maybe, but my 6-year-old has no idea What allegiance really means.
• 1:40:29
  Testecleese: She doesn't understand that, in reality, that means, should something happen.
• 1:40:35
  Testecleese: to the Republic for which it stands, I am… Obligated to take up arms.
• 1:40:41
  Brian McFadden: God.
• 1:40:41
  Testecleese: as I've pledged allegiance.
• 1:40:43
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:40:45
  Testecleese: And I, I don't know, that's the way I interpret it.
• 1:40:50
  Testecleese: You know, you're always gonna defend it, you're… it's always number one, allegiance, you know?
• 1:40:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:41:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, I got a feeling these kids just don't understand… what it means.
• 1:41:07
  Testecleese: I think… fuck, hap… Probably half your active duty kids have no idea what
• 1:41:14
  Testecleese: Signing up for the service means either.
• 1:41:16
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:41:17
  Testecleese: Like, in the back of their head, they understand shit might happen, but they don't really know, especially when they sign up, like, these kids sign up at 18.
• 1:41:25
  Testecleese: They have no idea what the fuck that means. They're either gonna be fucking heroes…
• 1:41:30
  Testecleese: Or, ain't shit gonna happen, because ain't shit never happened, you know?
• 1:41:35
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:41:36
  Testecleese: Meanwhile, what, we've disabled, like, 5 ships?
• 1:41:40
  Testecleese: in a couple months, over at the, the Hormuz.
• 1:41:44
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:41:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, we're running out of oil, by the way.
• 1:41:51
  Brian McFadden: Because we're selling it to the world, and not us.
• 1:41:55
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know, but… What does that mean?
• 1:41:59
  Testecleese: All of this money.
• 1:42:01
  Brian McFadden: It means that the people are…
• 1:42:02
  Brian McFadden: Look, other countries are willing to pay more for it than, americans are.
• 1:42:08
  Testecleese: Yes, yes, yes, but…
• 1:42:11
  Testecleese: this money coming in, what does it mean? Does that mean I'm gonna pay less taxes? Does that mean we can reduce.
• 1:42:16
  Brian McFadden: No, it's going to the oil companies, they're… they're making all the money on it.
• 1:42:21
  Testecleese: So they're paying taxes on it.
• 1:42:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:42:26
  Testecleese: Oh, guy.
• 1:42:27
  Testecleese: So… A portion of this money that Exxon is making is going into the federal part.
• 1:42:33
  Brian McFadden: Yes.
• 1:42:35
  Testecleese: Is it enough to reduce costs for Americans? Is it enough to…
• 1:42:40
  Testecleese: Alleviate any of the issues we're having financially.
• 1:42:44
  Testecleese: Because I still believe that Trump did all of this shit in an attempt to take over the world's oil market.
• 1:42:51
  Brian McFadden: Well, it seems to be working.
• 1:42:53
  Testecleese: Maybe it's gonna be 50 years before we see full effect.
• 1:42:57
  Testecleese: I mean, he did say short-term pain and long-term gain, didn't he?
• 1:43:01
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:43:05
  Testecleese: I don't know, man. And… what, he recently said, we're not gonna do any more,
• 1:43:12
  Testecleese: aggressive actions in Iran, unless an American soldier's killed.
• 1:43:16
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:43:18
  Testecleese: Could this be an attempt to bring down gas prices right before midterms?
• 1:43:25
  Brian McFadden: Hopefully.
• 1:43:28
  Testecleese: He is definitely hoping.
• 1:43:31
  Testecleese: Guess what?
• 1:43:32
  Testecleese: I didn't even realize Israel…
• 1:43:35
  Testecleese: I thought Israel sent a couple bombers into Lebanon. I didn't realize they were actually, like, at war with Lebanon. So what, they start a war with Iran, they let the United States fucking finish it.
• 1:43:45
  Testecleese: Right?
• 1:43:47
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:43:47
  Testecleese: Then they go and start another war in Lebanon.
• 1:43:52
  Testecleese: which apparently… I guess we've negotiated a… got… Trump managed to negotiate a peace deal with this.
• 1:43:59
  Brian McFadden: But Hezbollah is not accepting the peace deal, which are a major part of Lebanon.
• 1:44:06
  Testecleese: I'm working.
• 1:44:08
  Testecleese: Oh my god. Yeah. See, and somehow… well, I don't know.
• 1:44:13
  Testecleese: So… I've been pro-Israel in general, but lately I've been very critical of a lot of their actions.
• 1:44:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, a lot of people are.
• 1:44:24
  Testecleese: Yes.
• 1:44:26
  Testecleese: Trump, apparently, did you hear about this phone call you had with Netanyahu?
• 1:44:30
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:44:31
  Testecleese: Oh, call them fucking crazy?
• 1:44:34
  Testecleese: I actually said, you're fucking crazy, and said, the entire world hates you right now, I'm the only reason why you're not in prison.
• 1:44:44
  Testecleese: And I think it had something to do with Lebanon, I think that's why… I think that's why there was actually a peace deal, was… we're gonna with… we're gonna pull back our protection of you if you don't knock this shit off.
• 1:44:55
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:44:57
  Testecleese: And again, I think this might be a…
• 1:44:59
  Testecleese: here come midterms, we need gas prices to come down, we need wars to slow down, and… fuck, for all we know, Trump's gonna step in again and try to end what's going on with Ukraine and Russia, but… every time he's tried to do it.
• 1:45:12
  Testecleese: either Zelensky or Putin is either flat-out said no, or broke within a day.
• 1:45:18
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:45:21
  Testecleese: Speaking of… You shared this one.
• 1:45:26
  Testecleese: Putin, bombed Romania?
• 1:45:29
  Testecleese: That's a NATO nation, what does that mean, and what's gonna happen?
• 1:45:32
  Brian McFadden: Well, yeah, we talked about this on the last show.
• 1:45:35
  Brian McFadden: Romania is retaliating by opening up their military bases for U.S. to use it as defensive efforts against Iran, so…
• 1:45:47
  Brian McFadden: So, that… that…
• 1:45:50
  Brian McFadden: They want our troops on their bases to help protect their country from Russia and your Iran.
• 1:46:04
  Brian McFadden: Which is a major thing for, Romania, because,
• 1:46:10
  Brian McFadden: In the past, they haven't been a big fan of letting the, foreign troops onto their bases.
• 1:46:17
  Brian McFadden: You know, because they've been invaded in the past, so…
• 1:46:25
  Brian McFadden: And,
• 1:46:27
  Brian McFadden: Secretary of War Hedgebeth is, still making changes in the Pentagon. They just… he just came out with a new,
• 1:46:37
  Brian McFadden: Military religion… Decree where…
• 1:46:42
  Testecleese: Whoa.
• 1:46:43
  Brian McFadden: There were 200 different religions recognized, now there's only 31.
• 1:46:48
  Testecleese: More than 200.
• 1:46:50
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:46:51
  Testecleese: just removed.
• 1:46:55
  Testecleese: Okay, I'm sorry. I think they removed something like 200 from the list of just… of over 200 down to 31.
• 1:47:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:47:06
  Testecleese: Which I genuinely thought a lot of these Christian religions would be mixed into Christianity.
• 1:47:13
  Brian McFadden: Some of them are.
• 1:47:14
  Testecleese: Some of them are, but I expected more of them. I thought it was gonna be basically Christian or Catholic, as far as your Christians went.
• 1:47:20
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, and he also… another thing he did with it there is he's taking the rank off of the chaplain's uniforms.
• 1:47:28
  Testecleese: I like this, actually.
• 1:47:29
  Brian McFadden: They're putting, putting their chaplain insignia up there, because they're chaplains first, before they're officers in the military.
• 1:47:38
  Brian McFadden: I like it too.
• 1:47:40
  Testecleese: I do, and just like I like the idea of Corman wearing something different on the battlefield.
• 1:47:48
  Testecleese: It's a reason not to target that person.
• 1:47:52
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:47:53
  Testecleese: You know what I mean? And I know it sounds terrible, But, we don't…
• 1:48:00
  Testecleese: For the most part, the modern civilized world does not shoot medics.
• 1:48:06
  Testecleese: Or…
• 1:48:06
  Brian McFadden: Aplains.
• 1:48:07
  Testecleese: Or holy men, exactly. Yeah. It's like, no, no, you guys, this poor man is dying because we shot him. At least let him get his last rites from his religion, you know?
• 1:48:18
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:48:20
  Testecleese: Or, this meant we shot him and he's dying, let the corpsman deal with him. Don't shoot the corpsman, because if we do, that's not shooting our frickin' corpsmen, our medics, you know?
• 1:48:32
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:48:33
  Testecleese: And I do like how most people know the term corpsman over medic today.
• 1:48:39
  Testecleese: For anyone who doesn't know the difference, medics are army.
• 1:48:43
  Testecleese: Corpsmen are Navy.
• 1:48:45
  Testecleese: And if you're about to say something goofy, like, yeah, but in all the World War II, like, D-Day movies, they were yelling for a corpsman. Yes, because those were Marines storming the shores with.
• 1:48:55
  Brian McFadden: And it's Navy, Navy corpsmen support Marines and SEALs.
• 1:49:00
  Testecleese: Exactly.
• 1:49:04
  Testecleese: geez Louise, I can't imagine being a combat medic or a combat corpsman. It's like, I have a sidearm. Okay, great. But I'm more busy carrying medicine and tourniquets than anything else, you know? Yeah.
• 1:49:16
  Testecleese: Meanwhile, these guys got fucking artillery and rifles and machine guns, you know?
• 1:49:21
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:49:22
  Testecleese: But… Even in World War II, both sides were really good at not targeting Corpsmen and medics.
• 1:49:30
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:49:32
  Testecleese: The Germans did try it for a little while, But then,
• 1:49:37
  Testecleese: they realized the same thing Americans did shortly after was, If you shoot one man.
• 1:49:43
  Testecleese: and don't kill him, you just wound him, it takes 2 men to drag him off the battlefield. You took 3 men out of action. If you shoot him, and then shoot the guy trying to save his life.
• 1:49:53
  Testecleese: You didn't actually take… you took out, realistically, one combatant.
• 1:49:59
  Testecleese: You're better off removing combatants from the battlefield than killing people.
• 1:50:05
  Testecleese: And I know, yes, killing them removes them from the battlefield, but again…
• 1:50:09
  Testecleese: Three guys versus one, you know?
• 1:50:11
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:50:13
  Testecleese: And this is a tactic the United States military still uses today.
• 1:50:17
  Testecleese: For combat versus covert ops.
• 1:50:23
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:50:24
  Testecleese: They'll put a round through your shoulder if they can instead, to make sure you're no good in combat.
• 1:50:30
  Testecleese: And if someone comes… if someone drags you out of there because you're wounded and need help, that's just fewer people shooting at you.
• 1:50:36
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:50:37
  Testecleese: It's… it's good tactics, let's be real.
• 1:50:41
  Testecleese: Because, let's be real, dude's dead, they're gonna step over him and keep fighting, aren't they?
• 1:50:47
  Testecleese: No safe… Oh! See?
• 1:50:54
  Testecleese: West Virginia was mentioned more than once today, and not just in local.
• 1:50:58
  Testecleese: And, well, here comes the second one.
• 1:51:01
  Testecleese: Trump is using his wartime powers
• 1:51:04
  Testecleese: Which I thought was an interesting thing, because he just… didn't he just get shut down with wartime powers?
• 1:51:09
  Brian McFadden: They're trying to shut him down, but it hasn't went through yet, and he's gotta sign it in the law, so what do you think the odds of that happening?
• 1:51:18
  Testecleese: Well… he just… well, they just need two-thirds to overrule Vito, right?
• 1:51:23
  Brian McFadden: Not gonna happen.
• 1:51:25
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know, that's what gets me, so you let every other president do it, but you don't like this guy, so now it's bad, right?
• 1:51:31
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:51:33
  Testecleese: But… This is something I mentioned to someone else.
• 1:51:37
  Testecleese: Shoot, probably 5 months ago.
• 1:51:41
  Testecleese: Oh, here we go, this is one of the ones I don't like, the fucking Guardian, man.
• 1:51:47
  Testecleese: It's a left-wing paper, too. But half of it's a fucking giant pop-up.
• 1:51:51
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:51:52
  Testecleese: But he's putting out $700 million to coal-fired, power plants in the U.S.
• 1:51:58
  Testecleese: What he's calling the clean, beautiful coal, despite being the dirtiest fossil fuels.
• 1:52:03
  Brian McFadden: I thought they were all shut down by Biden.
• 1:52:06
  Testecleese: Oh, no, we… they're still…
• 1:52:11
  Testecleese: Cole, and trump actually set something up when he came into office to keep coal as a backup on military bases.
• 1:52:19
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:52:20
  Testecleese: Should something go wrong, we could still fire up.
• 1:52:23
  Testecleese: What's it.
• 1:52:24
  Testecleese: A closed circuit system that doesn't.
• 1:52:26
  Brian McFadden: and leave.
• 1:52:27
  Testecleese: base. It doesn't go out into Norfolk.
• 1:52:30
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:52:31
  Testecleese: But it'll keep the base up and running.
• 1:52:33
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 1:52:33
  Testecleese: Right. And I was like, I like this idea!
• 1:52:38
  Testecleese: And instead of saying, it's dirty, if fucking Norfolk gets shut down, we are fucked as a nation, and you know it.
• 1:52:45
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:52:46
  Testecleese: This is why I keep saying, stop putting the aircraft carriers in a fucking row in Norfolk.
• 1:52:53
  Brian McFadden: They're never there now.
• 1:52:55
  Testecleese: Now, yes, but we still line them up, what, 4 in a row?
• 1:53:00
  Testecleese: Isn't… this is why they were targeting Pearl Harbor, wasn't it?
• 1:53:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:53:05
  Testecleese: Oh, we go nice enough to line them up in a row, so we can just fly over and drop bombs. We're gonna hit at least one of them!
• 1:53:12
  Testecleese: Aha.
• 1:53:13
  Testecleese: But yeah, West Virginia's, one of two major coal mining companies that's getting a massive lot of money
• 1:53:20
  Testecleese: to mine coal, And believe it or not, there is different levels of dirty when it comes to coal.
• 1:53:27
  Brian McFadden: Yes.
• 1:53:29
  Testecleese: West Virginia has some of the cleanest coal on the planet.
• 1:53:33
  Testecleese: Australia does, too, with their, Coke Coal.
• 1:53:37
  Testecleese: at Coca-Cola. We have that too here, but…
• 1:53:41
  Testecleese: We would have to destroy the mountains even worse to get to it.
• 1:53:46
  Testecleese: Something a lot of people don't realize is,
• 1:53:48
  Testecleese: the mountaintops of the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia were blown off with dynamite.
• 1:53:55
  Testecleese: 100 years ago.
• 1:53:58
  Testecleese: To get.
• 1:53:59
  Brian McFadden: Excellent.
• 1:53:59
  Testecleese: all veins.
• 1:54:02
  Testecleese: Brian's already got the freaking next Google Doc set up, because he's upset that I got it out before.
• 1:54:07
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I was.
• 1:54:09
  Testecleese: Well, here, what'll piss you off? What'll piss you off?
• 1:54:11
  Brian McFadden: I'm always…
• 1:54:12
  Testecleese: 3.35?
• 1:54:14
  Brian McFadden: You've made.
• 1:54:14
  Testecleese: You made one, you made one, but you didn'.
• 1:54:16
  Brian McFadden: I never sent it out.
• 1:54:18
  Testecleese: Not even that. I couldn't add stuff to it.
• 1:54:21
  Brian McFadden: Oh, that's weird.
• 1:54:22
  Testecleese: So I just made a new one, yours is still empty in there somewhere.
• 1:54:26
  Brian McFadden: I'd probably deleted.
• 1:54:28
  Brian McFadden: Probably deleted it.
• 1:54:30
  Testecleese: I bet it's in there somewhere.
• 1:54:32
  Testecleese: And, okay, this one I laughed at. The military has turned GPS into some kind of, like, fucking code system.
• 1:54:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:54:40
  Testecleese: What do you mean, turn it into?
• 1:54:45
  Brian McFadden: The number station.
• 1:54:47
  Testecleese: But that's what it's always been. The United States military built GPS and thought it had been long enough that the rest of the world could deal with it for driving directions. The military is at least 20 years ahead.
• 1:54:59
  Testecleese: on what they're doing with satellites that are doing GPS.
• 1:55:04
  Testecleese: I mean, let's be real, we're zooming in on someone's fucking backyard and watching them friggin'…
• 1:55:09
  Testecleese: Swim in their pool.
• 1:55:11
  Testecleese: That's, that's not, Elon Musk technology, is it?
• 1:55:15
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:55:17
  Testecleese: I got a good laugh for this, saying, oh, they're turning into number stations, and they can… they can grid in on the planet, and you know, I was like, that's what GPS is!
• 1:55:25
  Brian McFadden: You know?
• 1:55:27
  Testecleese: They're using it for weapons now. It was designed for dropping weapons, believe it or not.
• 1:55:34
  Testecleese: They were just cool enough to say, hey, you guys can use it too if you want to get from here to there.
• 1:55:39
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:55:42
  Testecleese: We got some decent stuff in leftovers, is there anything in there you want to share?
• 1:55:46
  Testecleese: Okay. Some of the stuff I wasn't sure what to do with.
• 1:55:51
  Testecleese: MPOX being smuggled into the country by scientists.
• 1:55:56
  Testecleese: That was an interesting.
• 1:55:57
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I think we talked about this.
• 1:55:59
  Brian McFadden: Pre… for this episode, or maybe it was a different drug being smuggled in by… I mean, that was, fauci was in charge of that forever and ever and ever, and that's…
• 1:56:10
  Testecleese: Institute of Health.
• 1:56:11
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, this is what his scientists do. They smuggle in MPOX.
• 1:56:18
  Testecleese: Now… Is that monkeypox?
• 1:56:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:56:23
  Testecleese: Is it? I'm not sure.
• 1:56:25
  Testecleese: So we're not allowed to call it monkeypox anymore.
• 1:56:28
  Brian McFadden: No, I don't think so.
• 1:56:29
  Testecleese: So, the word monkey, Referring to the small.
• 1:56:35
  Testecleese: primate is now offensive because it has been used by people to describe black folks as less evolved.
• 1:56:45
  Brian McFadden: That seems…
• 1:56:45
  Testecleese: Kind of crazy. Which, by the way, I'd just like to point out that a lot of tech and a lot of, data coming out in the last 20, 30 years is showing human life may have evolved in Europe.
• 1:57:00
  Testecleese: Which would mean that people that went to Africa and got the darker skin are more evolved.
• 1:57:05
  Testecleese: Because they had to adapt to, the sun.
• 1:57:11
  Testecleese: So it wouldn't be lesser evolved, it would be…
• 1:57:13
  Testecleese: An extra adaptation that other people don't have, because they didn't have to deal with the same issues.
• 1:57:18
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:57:19
  Testecleese: Like, you wouldn't lose your pigment by moving to a less sunny place, would you?
• 1:57:24
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:57:25
  Testecleese: You wouldn't become whiter.
• 1:57:28
  Brian McFadden: Not typically.
• 1:57:29
  Testecleese: No. But you might darken up, especially over generations in the sun.
• 1:57:35
  Testecleese: I know, goofy thing to bring up, but… Ardipithecus.
• 1:57:41
  Testecleese: That sh… they found it predated what they… early African remains by, like.
• 1:57:47
  Testecleese: 50,000 years they found, like, Great Britain, like, 30 years ago.
• 1:57:54
  Testecleese: Mmm.
• 1:57:55
  Testecleese: Maybe not 30 years ago, we had just started this show then, so probably 20 years ago. I'm sorry.
• 1:58:00
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:58:04
  Testecleese: I don't give a shit about… Van Hollen…
• 1:58:10
  Testecleese: Yeah, the veteran who's hurt. Oh, Social Security!
• 1:58:15
  Testecleese: How long we been talking about Social Security drying up?
• 1:58:18
  Brian McFadden: For as long as I've been alive, almost.
• 1:58:21
  Testecleese: Yeah. Not only are they not gonna keep up with inflation as of 2032, but they're gonna cut the income by 500 bucks.
• 1:58:28
  Brian McFadden: That's a big chunk of change for people living on Social Security.
• 1:58:32
  Testecleese: Well, nobody reproduced.
• 1:58:36
  Testecleese: So there's no one paying into Social Security.
• 1:58:39
  Brian McFadden: People don't want to work.
• 1:58:40
  Testecleese: So, yeah, exa- exactly, and that, and I don't want to work, and…
• 1:58:44
  Testecleese: I don't know, I just saw a video recently of an OnlyFans girl.
• 1:58:47
  Testecleese: Complaining she had to pay taxes?
• 1:58:51
  Testecleese: Well, she got hit with a bill, basically, like, the IRS is like, hey, where's our, where's our cut?
• 1:58:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:58:56
  Testecleese: here.
• 1:58:56
  Testecleese: She's like, what do you mean? I didn't.
• 1:58:58
  Brian McFadden: She's a 1099 self-employed contractor. You pay your own employment taxes, both… you pay double, because normally…
• 1:59:08
  Testecleese: And the employee.
• 1:59:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:59:10
  Testecleese: Exactly, and she's like… and she came up with the video, she's like, what do you mean? I didn't have a job, I don't have a W-2.
• 1:59:17
  Testecleese: Yeah, bitch, you owe more money! Right.
• 1:59:21
  Testecleese: It's like, you thought you made 100 grand? You made, like, 45?
• 1:59:27
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:59:27
  Testecleese: Probably she already blew all her money.
• 1:59:30
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:59:31
  Testecleese: But it's like, man, you gotta look this shit up. Before you decide to be a whore.
• 1:59:35
  Testecleese: A legal whore, you better find out how they pay your taxes.
• 1:59:39
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 1:59:44
  Testecleese: Oh yeah, and apparently Virginia Tech did a study that says,
• 1:59:50
  Testecleese: These bug sprays may actually be.
• 1:59:53
  Brian McFadden: Attracting the mosquitoes. Well, they said, don't stop using them, just use them more often. So it sounds like an ad for the bug spray companies.
• 2:00:03
  Testecleese: No, what sounds like the same issue we've had with, antibiotics.
• 2:00:10
  Testecleese: The mosquitoes that are immune to this bug spray.
• 2:00:15
  Testecleese: Now recognize it as a scent to find food.
• 2:00:19
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:00:20
  Testecleese: Because only food wears it.
• 2:00:22
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:00:23
  Testecleese: And they were the only ones to reproduce, because the other ones died.
• 2:00:27
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:00:29
  Testecleese: We going back to DEET?
• 2:00:32
  Brian McFadden: No, it's banned.
• 2:00:33
  Testecleese: What about the trucks that drive through your neighborhood and blow out all that smoke?
• 2:00:38
  Testecleese: Kids used to chase him down the road.
• 2:00:40
  Testecleese: Actually, that was DEET, wasn't it?
• 2:00:42
  Brian McFadden: Yo.
• 2:00:46
  Testecleese: Oh Jesus Christ, what did I do?
• 2:00:51
  Brian McFadden: You gotta take over sharing.
• 2:00:53
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know, on… I thought I did, actually.
• 2:01:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, it keeps blowing up to full screen for some reason.
• 2:01:03
  Audio shared by Testecleese: That's really… Anyway… That was a good one.
• 2:01:10
  Testecleese: 2 hours, dude, more than I thought it was gonna be.
• 2:01:13
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Yep, 2 in a week. About 2 hours long.
• 2:01:16
  Testecleese: Damn.
• 2:01:18
  Audio shared by Testecleese: News must be picking up, huh?
• 2:01:20
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Nope.
• 2:01:21
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Alright, we're out.
• 2:01:24
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Ow.
