(01:04):
perspective Paul Man of four because he got sent his
totally seven and a half years with all when all
said and done, which Trump could pardon him for, but
the Stay in New York decided to get real petty
and immediately hit him with a sixteen count indictment on
stage charges. So did they have a bad day? Did
they have to wait to hit him with that? Like,

(01:25):
was there something about the timing or they just like
wanted to do it. I don't know, you think you're
I'm sure some legal expert might tell me that there
could be some statute against that. But they were just like,
we want to kick you at your lower Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well,
we're thrilled to be joined by the senior film and

in the back. Wow. Do you ever figure out why
that is? Why? Just toxic gene cocktail? All right, man,
we're gonna get to know you a little bit better

(02:49):
in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners
a few of the things we're talking about today. We're
talking about where American cities came in on the list
of the best places is around the world to live. Hint,
they did not crack the top twenty. There were five
I believe five Canadian cities before the first US city.

(03:12):
We're also gonna talk about how Budweiser just does not
understand their brand at all. We talk about Biden being
close to announcing. We're gonna talk about Facebook and how
it might tie into the election, And we're gonna talk
about the president's right before he decided to run for office,
what he was up to. He was trying to buy

(03:34):
the Buffalo Bills via a fake uprising in the city
of Buffalo. So we're gonna talk about that. It's an
amazing story. And also uh conservative victimhood and how how
conservatives they are dealing with the fact that they are
the most persecuted people in these United States history the world. Actually, yeah,

(03:54):
that's true. But first, Vince, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are? I wish
I did more searches, Like, I don't think there's anything
revealing about me. The last thing I searched on Twitter
was pelosi impeachment because I was trying to figure out
you know, when you get like the crumbs of a
news story and I got to figure out what everybody's
making jokes about. So I was kind of doing that.

(04:15):
I was trying to trace the steps internet. Would you
find out who she is? A lady that's in Congress?
I think she used to be my congress Um? Okay?
Was it? Was it? The story of her saying she
doesn't want to impeach, that he's not worth it. Yeah.
She does this thing that all really inspiring political leaders

(04:37):
do is what is that They tell you what's not
feasible before they ask for anything. It's like they start
off they're like, hey, I think you guys, she did
not expect too much from me, right, Yes, of course, yeah,
we know who Pelosi is. What's appeachment? Appeachment is like
it's a type of gum that combines both the peach
flavors and well, I got a lot of learning to do. Uh,

(05:02):
what is something you think is underrated? Underrated? I think
audio books are underrated to audio books and podcasts. You know.
I like to I like to be doing chores while
I'm experiencing my content. Yeah, yeah, you're getting done. What
do you use for your audio books? Um? I use
Audible And I know there's a library program that I
that supposedly you can get all the audio books from

(05:25):
the library for free, but I haven't gone down to
the library. Yeah. The last time I was at a
public library, they just had like a big audio book
c D, like like library you had no but you
had to like rip the CD in order to listen
to it on it And he's sort of listening too.
It wasn't that long ago. Yeah. I used to check

(05:45):
out the CDs and listen Tom listen to of them
on my six CD changer in my car that I
had time in the trunk, which was oh man, yeah,
and put it on shuffle. So it's like a real
naked lunch type of thing where you just chapters are
going to be. I don't know, Uh what kind of
books you listen to? Um? I listen. I mean as
far as audio books, I find just a lot of

(06:06):
like non like facty nonfiction I find. Yeah that's my yeah, yeah,
my thing too. What's the best factory nonfiction book you've
read in the past year or listen? Um, it's reading
with your ears, I got My mom wouldn't agree. I
remember one time I tried to get an audio book
of like to Kill a mocking Bird or something when
I was in school, and she's like, what what is
this for? And I was like, so I can I

(06:28):
know that I can read the books like you're not reading. Yeah,
that's when you're still trying to train yourself. Yeah. No,
And I was very early on trying to cut them corners.
If I was better at reading while mowing the lawn,
I would definitely do that. But it's it's hard. Okay.
But back to you, Yes, what is the best non
factory books or facty book? Um? I will okay. So

(06:49):
new one I read this year was Boomtown. I think
it's sort of new. It was like the one about
Oklahoma City. Uh, and it's a lot more interesting than
you would think than you know, just a book about
a city. But it was really good and I think
it's gonna come up later in one of the stories
you're talking about today. And then uh, an older one
I read or listen to, you feel like, can you

(07:11):
say red read? I mean, semantically speaking, I mean, by definition,
what does read to read mean? It means to take
information from a source into your brain. Okay, so it
doesn't have to be visually. Yeah, man, I'm reading your
face right now, and it's that you don't know. That's
that's drag queen slaying. That's a different kind of reading.

(07:34):
If you look by a webster, look at and comprehend
the meaning of written or printed matter by mentally interpreting
the characters are simples of which it is composed. World
has changed a lot. I mean, I still call it read.
I don't know why I'm getting I'm debating it because
I think it's still the same ship. So I read
cover to cover every single word, the pages in your fingers.

(07:55):
There's a new version of the right Stuff and it
has Dennis Quaid reading it, and that's just a good,
strong audio book. I'm very picky about my audio book readers.
I don't like it when they get an actor and
the actor thinks that he's doing a monologue where he
has to like pretend that he's coming up with the
words on the fly, and it's like, no, dude, this
is a book. Just read it to me a script,

(08:18):
Like do the character's voices. But your narration should not
be like a thing that you have to emote during.
Don't make it about yourself. Just you are supposed to
disappear as soon as possible, and it should just be
us in the book. Uh, what is something you think
is overrated? On the flip side of that point, I
think TV and movies are overrated. Okay, Yeah, this is

(08:40):
the part of the year. I mean, I'm a film critic, uh,
and I feel like this is the time of the
year every year where I wonder, like if I'm ever
going to see a good movie ever again? You know,
it's like always the bad movies in January, February and
right after awards seasons over there, Like all right, well
now you get the crap trough gonna shift into your eyes.

(09:01):
Get ready? Is there anything looking forward to? Um? I
am looking forward to that Triple Frontier that just hiting
Netflix today. I don't know if I'm smart for looking
forward to that Ben Affleck one more job, one more
Oh it came out. Oh, I gotta get on that.
It looks to me like this video game Tom Clancy's
Ghost recon Wild Lens as a movie because it's like

(09:22):
it's like special Forces dudes stealing drug money, just doing wildly,
wildly illegal ship in Central America. Yeah, you know history.
I like Ben Affleck because he doesn't look good in
costumes anymore. Like, no matter what he puts on, he
just looks like a dad at a costume part. And
I feel that I I recognize that a little puffy.

(09:43):
What is a myth? What's something people think is true?
You know to be false? Um? Well, you know, I
was watching that new version of Queer Eye for the
Straight Guy, and he's always telling people the hair guy,
he's always telling people to put the gel on or
put product in back to front, back front, Yeah, and
I feel like that's just wrong, Like you could you

(10:05):
put in front to back because you know people you
want to see people to see the front of you.
That's like, what do you mean back to I don't
have hair product in the back? And then you move
in the forwards and you concentrate in the back and
then just begin shifting it to the front. Yeah. I
think so that's that's what I got from the show.
But I've tried it a few times. It doesn't work
for me. I think maybe the idea is that they

(10:27):
don't want people to go all the product in the
like front, the front quarter of their head, and then
it's just yeah, okay, I get really about even distribution
of product that's concentrated the glamour hairs kind of like
the hair version of when you're writing an article and
you just rewrite the first paragraph over over seventeen times,

(10:47):
and then the rest of it is just like a
brutal rough draft. Yeah yeah, alright, man, well, I think
we know you. Now, uh, let's get into the best
places in this world to live. I guess it's a
HR company mercer that ranks all the different cities around

(11:09):
the world in terms of livability, and they you know,
people usually pay attention to the top twenty, and you
will not find a US city in that top twenty.
What was the top US city? The top US city
with San Francisco and came in at a cool thirty four.

(11:29):
It's a great city to live in if you have
thirty four minions. Yeah, exactly. It's a it's a weird
list in Boston, I guess. If it's US cities, then Boston, Honolulu,
New York, Seattle, Chicago, d C, Philly, in Pittsburgh. Yeah,
I do think they are assuming a certain amount of
disposable income on the behalf of the people who they're
talking to, because they are like placing professionals in these cities,

(11:54):
like that's what they do, and so that's kind of
what who they're speaking to, who they're thinking about. I mean,
but the things they are ranking based on our recreation, housing, uh,
you know, medical and health consideration, school and education, public services,
and transport, so they are all things that we look for. Well,

(12:16):
I mean, you know, Geneva is you know, you know,
famously known for being very affordable place to live, as
Zurich and Basil. Like there's three Swiss cities. I mean,
I would love to go shout out to Vancouver at
number three. Vancouver is number three. Yeah, you see, ze Gang,
It's pretty wild because natural environment is also one of

(12:36):
the things that they take into consideration, and there are
five Canadian cities on the list. Before you get to
a single US city. Got Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Calgary,
which are all frigid nightmares with a bullet. Yeah, Ottawa, baby,
where they skate to work. Yeah, you know Ottawa, because

(12:58):
you can't say it without a Canadian accent, like it
sort of forces you into from ottawaway. I really, U Look,
I'm glad Sydney's on there next to Amsterdam. Uh, Wellington,
New Zealand sounds great too. Yeah, yeah, what was the
top two? The top two are Vienna and Zurich, other

(13:19):
top US cities, and you know, the US cities start
coming pretty fast and furious. After thirty four. You got
Boston at thirty six, Honolulu at thirty seven. You don't
say New York is at forty four. New York is
the only city that has moved up in the rankings.
All other US cities have gone down. And they credit

(13:40):
that with just the rise of I think they said populism.
I was going to say the machines, right, the rise
of the I think they said machines. I'm just glad
La is not on there. You know, people don't need
to come out here. The traffics fucked l A is
on there. There were sixty six. Right, we're tied with
Houston and me. I like Houston, I like Popods, Yeah,

(14:04):
I like Poncha Train Sauce, right behind Atlanta. Yeah. So
I don't know. It does seem like a suspiciously white
group of cities that have scored high on the on
this ranking, but not a lot of color. And Zurich
kind of imagine, yeah, I don't think. So let's talk
about a corporation that does not understand what we see

(14:26):
in them. Uh, and that is the Budweiser Corporation. They
have released a product. They've released a line on dut
Uh that Okay, they they've just announced them, so you
probably these probably will never hit your shelves. But they
have announced with with confidence that they will be releasing

(14:46):
a line of meat products. And one of those meat
products is Budweiser pulled pork. It's everything. No, it's a
whole line of Budweiser. Man, but Budweiser pulled pork is
so gross to me? Does but Dweiser? Is there Budweiser
in the pulled pork? Like? Do they use it as
a braise at all? I think that's just I think
that must be what it is. They say, it's using

(15:08):
like brew Master sauce with whatever the funk that is.
I mean to be honest, like beer does help in
the cooking of these kinds of things. I think it's
funny that they have, Like their whole ad campaign now
is to position themselves as like anti foodie and like
anti anti connoisseur basically, and they're like, well, now, but
check out our line of artists and meats. What are

(15:30):
you talking about? This is for the many, not the few.
They're trying to capture millennials. Like in the press release,
it says Budweiser is an iconic brand that is recognized
throughout the US with impressive advertising and marketing, and it's
there teaming up with this group. Coleman Natural Foods, who
was actually making the meat anyway, says the Coleman and
Budweiser partnership will help create awareness for the millennial consumers

(15:50):
to stop and shop in the processed meat case. Now
this smacks again of old motherfucker's thinking, like how do
we get these millennials because if they know, if they knew,
this generation, yeah, you know, we love Budweiser and processed meats. Like,
come the funk on. I already know we're killing the

(16:11):
beer industry, and they say very health conscious people, you
know that. I think that the sort of snarky perception
is like all millennials like, oh, they like they only
eat like grass and things that don't cast shadows. But yeah,
I don't know. It's just it's just funny to me,
and it's just smacks of like some pitch guy really
being like, this is the next way for you guys, realiser.

(16:32):
This reminds me of that that leaked document from the
Pepsi logo design. It's just somebody selling complete rubes who
are running a company like something that is just bullshit,
but they get away with it by being like, no, man,
it's like what the kids are into, right Yeah, Being
like the the ambassador to youth culture is always like

(16:53):
a lucrative position because you can just convince like business
people of anything, right, well, which is what's funny about
this last one. The one of the founders of this
family ranch, the Coleman's the way this line is in
the in the press release, it just smacks of like
the thing the advertise the marketing people told him, because
he says this is a quote from him. Introducing classic
Coleman natural Budweiser products to a new, younger audience will

(17:15):
bring generations of consumers from the beer aisle to the
prepared meat case. Are great tasting products and recipes will
continue to bring them back time and time again from
the funk they will. I'm sorry Coleman, but you know,
does your grocery have a prepared meat case? Like I
just think of it as that weird part of the
meat case, where like the Johnsonville Bronzar it's like Oscar

(17:37):
Meyer and ship. Right, Well, I don't know about the
at the grocery stores I go to. The hot dogs
are in a different area than like the Lloyd's pre
made you know, sloppy Joe ship or whatever stuff is. Anyway,
the one thing I will give them those they're pretty
actually this the foods themselves. They're trying to be pretty
health conscious because saying it's slow roasted on actual Coleman pork,

(18:01):
which contains no antibiotics ever, no added hormones, crate free
pork raised by Coleman farmers, fed all vegetarian diet, no
animal byproducts. So I feel like they're they knew like
that part like I would be like, Okay, I see
what's going on, and then I'm like, wait, Budweiser spare ribs. Yeah,
they well, Budweiser is doing the whole no corn syrup things.

(18:22):
So now they're they're trying to position themselves as a
as a health food also right exactly, yes, the healthiest.
You know, if they were smart, I would I would
be drinking bud Light pulled pork. Yeah, that could be grosser.
I feel like they are very confused, where like the
whereas cores Light has been selling the idea that their
beer is colder right like thirty five years at least,

(18:45):
and that's I mean, if you just find that and
you stick with it, this just smacks of them grasping
at straws. You know. It really is an amazing campaign,
the cores Light one, because it's basically, look, you don't
want to taste air beer. You want to just experience
it like a shard of ice going down your throats
esphagus right where you don't realize you've drank it because

(19:08):
you're just too distracted by it's temperature. Our beer evokes
the image of five foot tall gen xers playing football
in the mountains. Remember those commercials like just gigantic humans
sucking around the rockies. I'm like, I guess this is
a wave. I on even one, it would just start
snowing and everything got awesome, right because someone would like open,

(19:31):
crackling open, and then suddenly like everybody's tops coming up.
It's weird because it was like the snow would come down,
but then people would take clothes off somehow. But yeah, yeah,
because that's how we get down, and core's light down.
That's what I mean. Alright, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back, and so might

(19:59):
be Joseph Biden. He is so close, you guys. He's
he hasn't been shy that he's been going through this process,
but it seems now we're getting closer and closer. The
buzzes getting louder and louder. Biden will soon be entering
the contest. I mean, he's got a lot writing for him,

(20:20):
you know. Yes, he's pulling well against Trump. Yes he
has good name recognition. Yes he's the only one with
functional foreign policy experience. Yes he can gain the trust
of maybe some of these blue collar Democrats that voted
for Trump. Yes, he has said some wild racist, super
predator type shit. Yes, he looked like a disgusting besides
in his when he questioned Anita Hill. Yes he's too
much of a centrist to energize this progressive base. Yes,

(20:42):
he opposed school integration in the seventies. Yes, he supported
the Iraq War. I look, I don't know, I don't
know what. I don't know what's gonna happen. Look, the
nation is a clamor for a used car salesman with
a bad fake tan, right, so clearly you fight fire
with fire. Yeah, skill orange on orange. Yeah, it's a
It's just one of those things where it's funny, like
the Yes, he's is obviously pulling the highest out of anyone,

(21:04):
even though he hasn't actually entered the race. But it's like,
I feel like the establishment Democrats just really want him
because they're like, look, we can kind of maybe get
a hold of this thing, and maybe if we force
him through, progressives aren't gonna not vote for him if
he's the nominee, you know what I mean, Because like
they know, like it'll be easier to convince progressives that well,
if it's a binary choice between Trump and Biden, what

(21:25):
are you gonna do? But little does he know that
is not the like or the d n C realized
that is not where the momentum is going in the base,
like back to the middle. So yeah, I mean, at
the same time, it could be a thing where all
of the progressive candidates split all of the energized bass
and then Biden just gets all those standard run of

(21:49):
the mill centrist Democrats. I think people people are like, well, Bernie,
he's too old and white, you know who he needs
and my older get him back. Yeah. Well, you know,
I think the other thing would be interesting is they're
just you know, like Hillary had a discuss her super
predator comments. Joe Biden was a lover of mass incarceration,

(22:11):
so he's got some splaining to do. But I just
feel like, you know, because this country already has a
you know, very little enthusiasm for reconciling our history of racism.
I don't know that Biden will actually be meant to,
like held to meaningfully account for his past views. But
you know, especially also the establishment apologist would be like,
but he was the black guy's best friend for eight years,

(22:34):
So I mean, I mean, in a perfect world, he
would be the Republican candidate. He would be like the
one where it's like if he wins, like we live
with that. Oh yeah, I love that, but yeah, we're
in a different time now. Yeah, so we'll see. I
think there was a point where people were like, well,
he's probably got the best chance to beat Trump, and
so that's why I would tolerate him. But I don't

(22:56):
even know that that's true, or that he even has
a legit claim to It's just thrown at this point.
It's just that whole thing, Like up top I was saying,
it's just pulling great by though, but you know, we
saw we're pulling out us last time around. And then
also like the idea that he really does appeal to
these like rush belt democrats that the d n C

(23:17):
totally forgot about in and overlooked. But even then, I
feel like there are plenty I'm sure there are plenty
of candidates who are really great speakers, have a lot
of energy, some charisma that could probably bring those people in.
But yeah, yeah, and electability is such a you know,
it's a vague term that the media can use to
just be racist and sexist, basically, to just be like, well,

(23:39):
he's the most electable because yeah, and everyone's so just
nostalgic for the Obama era that anyone that reminds them
of that, Right, It's like a beautiful nostalgic dream that
they get to have for a while, right, alha omar,
she's not nostalgic for that, She's not. She came for him.
And and but you can tell there's all these like,
you know, establishments, sycophants in his here, like yeah, man,

(24:00):
the people fucking they're they're dying for you. It's like, yo,
no they're not. They're actually not. I mean there are
people that are, but there's a lot. I mean when
you look at like all the young voters consultants with lanyards, right,
and I think when you see the crop of young
voters that are going to be up for grabs in
a lot of them aren't going to be as nostalgic
for Joe Biden. But you know, I just want let's

(24:22):
just let's just have these debates. Let's get messy. Let's
see somebody drag out Joe Biden's old comments, see how
he handles that. We'll see what happens. Yeah, just depends
if you see the Obama era as like a simpler
bygone time or like the time that handed Trump a
drone program, right right exactly, Let's talk about the election,

(24:45):
because Elizabeth Warren uh last week announced that she wants
to regulate Facebook, Google, and Amazon basically out of existence.
She wants to break up the monopolies. I think the
only complaint there would be people being but Amazon brings
me shit, and other than that, I think everybody be
good with that. Break it up, you know, give everybody

(25:06):
like their reasonable Amazon or something you haven't running. I
don't know how that works. I don't, but they have
too much power, yes, Amazon, Bell, and they also get
those products to your doorstep in record time via just
treating people like ship behind the scenes, in warehouses, various
places that you can't see. But anyways, the fact that

(25:28):
she's angling to, you know, do this against the guy
who Facebook supposedly accidentally helped elect sets us up for
Facebook to like drag their feet in fixing some of
the problems that helped him win In t and The
New York Times pointed out the Trump administration, despite him

(25:50):
being real anti tech in front of the media, is
actually extremely favorable to tech monopolies like Google and Facebook.
They they have like a guy in charge of regulating
them who is basically the most His name is Mcon
del Rahim. He is the most friendly to those companies

(26:12):
that any that he could have possibly put in charge
of the antitrust division of the Department of Justice. Uh
so they're good. Yeah, they basically put my Space Tom
in it in that position. Um and yeah. I mean
the scary thing about Facebook is, you know, even though
we are now onto them, it's still impossible to track

(26:36):
for the most part. Like I've heard it described as uh,
propaganda megaphone in your ear that I can't here, And
you know, I think that's pretty accurate. That's why I
think it was easy for everyone to be blindsided by
the results of the election is we weren't aware of
what was happening in millions and millions of people's news feeds,

(26:58):
you know, or just on social media in general. I
think we need to have a campaign to like, for
people to commandeer their parents Facebook feeds and just like
you start to start liking stuff that's not weird Fox
News Dad memes. Because I feel like that is because
younger people younger than like forty five, I don't think

(27:20):
are out there getting their news from their Facebook speed.
But then like my people on my parents age, you know,
they'll just spout a meme like it was came from
the New York Times. Yeah, see, we need we need
a new form of parental controls, yes, where we parents,
like we're gonna change the meaning of the parental advisory exactly. Wait,
so she's just trying. She's just saying like break them up. Yeah,

(27:41):
and she I mean she no, she's not just saying
break them up. She has a very detailed, uh you
know plan as. Like a lot of the stuff she
comes out with is like really thoroughly thought out. But
she has a lot of just you know, ex saying
he's Native American, right, but like when it comes to
actual things of substance that aren't just silly, really what

(28:09):
she's a Okay, my bad, bad. I mean I know
what you're saying. I just want to call that out.
That's I think that's substantives that you would go around
for years telling people like, oh, yeah i'm Native American.
Yeah that's will help me get into school for your
diversity numbers. But she atoned, I guess. But yeah, she's
one of the people totally behind her, and it will

(28:30):
never she wins the nomination. She's one of the she's
one of the candidates. I really really like. Yeah, I
just hope a lot of people can tell that her
ideas are actually very good. Yeah, I mean, I don't
know what's more racist, just being like her saying that
she's Native American or everybody immediately being like, oh, look
at her, she's so white, right, Well, how do you

(28:51):
know she's not Native American? Like, I don't know, Yeah,
I'm not. I'm not doing her genealogy, you know. That
whole story though, seems like it's all like playground schoolyard ship.
It's just like he called her a name and then
she responded and everyone's like, oh shit, and like she
ended up looking stupid. But her plan calls for legislation

(29:14):
that would feature a new business category for companies with
more than twenty five billion dollars of global revenue. Yeah,
that's they should maybe be in a different, different category
UM And they would basically be called platform utilities and
they would be regulated almost like utility companies UM, which
is an interesting idea. They would have to meet a

(29:35):
standard of fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory dealings with users. They
would also not be allowed to share data with other companies,
which both ideas Yeah, and Facebook loves this, right. Yeah.
Her campaign or people who support her put up eds
saying break up Facebook, Uh courtesy of Elizabeth Warren or whatever,

(29:59):
and Facebook took those ads down. Well, I mean, are
we surprised? Then they immediately came out and we're like,
we're sorry, we don't know, we're actually gonna Yeah, I
think they're they're stand Facebook rhythm of uh we doing
something just completely reprehensible and then apologizing for right, Like
if you post about like a hate crime, the Facebook

(30:22):
will be like, oh I don't we don't see, we
didn't see that, Like we don't have enough people to
regulate that. But then if you put up an ad
that says stop Facebook, where we're gonna delete that right away?
What person is gone? But then once political they reported
that they had to backtrack and they were like, oh, well,
we actually took it down because it had a logo
in it. Oh well, we're gonna put them back up
because we're all about real bust debate was the word

(30:44):
they used. So yeah, it's just definitely worth keeping an
eye on if they get so messy, and they're like,
all right, you know what, we're gonna have to help
Trump out again. We can't let this happen. She's gonna
break up our money. Bro. Yeah, I mean they definitely
helped Trump out in like the standard narrative that came
out was, oh, well, we offered like people. We we

(31:07):
offered internal Facebook consultants to the Trump campaign and the
Clinton campaign, and Clinton just said no. And that may
well be the case, but it's still Facebook was a
huge part of Trump you know, shocking world. The only
time that campaign ever said no to more consultants. That's right,

(31:27):
All right, Let's talk about the president's attempt to buy
the Buffalo Bills back before he decided to run for president.
This is just a wild story. Yeah, who would have
thought that Trump always likes to use shady stuff, no
matter what it is, whether it's real estate or covering

(31:48):
up affairs, or even something that seems as straightforward as
simply just buying a NFL team. I mean, this has
been his white whale since like the eighties, right, right,
he was like he had the he had a USFL team,
and he was trying to leverage that he got the
USFL team because they wouldn't let him buy an NFL team,
and then he tried to leverage the USFL team into

(32:09):
an NFL team and ended up killing the entire league. Right, Yeah,
he wanted to like a b a thing where they
merged with the league. So he was like, yeah, we're
gonna take the USFL and put it at the same
time as the NFL, and they're going to be so sorry. Yeah,
they're gonna be so creditive. And then just nobody ever
watched the USFL ever again, and yeah, he's a he's

(32:33):
a brilliant business person. Yeah. Well, I think the reason
this story came back up is because when Michael Cohen
was testifying, he talked about, oh, you know, Trump also
like inflated his assets by four billions, so you get
a loan from Deutsche Bank to buy the bills. And
what we're figuring out now, as you know, our writer
JM was pointing out from old articles that were written
about this time, it was down to like a three

(32:55):
person war over like bidding war over the bills. It
was the guy who owns the Buffalo Sabers, Donald Trump,
and then Jon bon Jovi and like a consortium of
rich guys from Toronto or Canada basically who are going
to buy it? And Trump tried he figured out a
way to basically poison the well for John bon Jovi. Yeah,

(33:16):
so he created a false flag group of Bills fans. Basically,
this group of Bills fans called themselves twelfth Man Thunder,
and they started doing protests like establishing bon Jovi free
zones and local bars and like one time a cover
band tried to play some bon Jovi music and they
got like booed off the stage and I kind of

(33:39):
like these guys so far. Yeah, So it turns out
there was nothing organic about this crassroots movement. It was
astro turfed. Uh. Donald Trumph fronted affair just to basically
make people. The idea that he was trying to get
out was that bon Jovi and his Canadian business partners
were going to move the bills to Toronto, yeah and

(34:02):
take away your precious bulls or bills bills. Yeah. Yeah.
And I think it was just you know, it's it's
right on track, babe, just xenophobia, like these Canadians are
gonna up the bills, I mean, the border war are
the buffalo bills? Like the root of all white nationalism.
I mean like, so if, right, if Trump buys the Bills,

(34:22):
maybe he doesn't run for president. Um. Also, like Timothy
McVeigh bet a thousand dollars on the Bills in the
fourth super Bowl that they're in and lost it, and
then it was yeah, this was the story. Actually it's
from Boomtown that book I mentioned earlier. But yeah, so
Timothy McVeigh was like this lifelong Buffalo Bills fan and

(34:43):
he bet a thousand dollars supposedly like the last money
he had because he's like, there's no way they're gonna
lose another time. And then he like lost it all,
and supposedly that like helped him over the roll down
into you know, a crazy Turner Diaries obsessive guy. Yeah,
because I think right after he lost, Trump lost his
bid for the Bills. He launched his presidential campaign nine

(35:05):
months later. Yeah, Like, if we would have just given
him an NFL team, I feel like the country if
it was like, all right, so Trump, you can either
have Trump as president or as an NFL owner, we
would have been like, well, sure, may give him an
NFL team. I mean, he's perfect as an NFL owner, right,
isn't it really Don Beebe's fault, you know what I mean?
Because wasn't he the one holding the football up? And
then Leon Letting just fucking bashed that ship out on

(35:26):
the one yard line when he was like feeling himself
too much. I mean, that's really what we need to
be looking at him or Scott Norwood right to see
the kicker who missed the kick was Don Beebe in
the second Super Bowl. That was the second time. I
don't remember. I just remember my Sports Illustrated for Kids.
It was in my worst moment ever Illustrated part and
I was like, damn, dom Beebe, I've never let that

(35:48):
go as a kid. Thank you to Sports Illustrated for Kids.
The perforated trading cards in the middle, we're kind of shitty.
They were terrible. Yeah, and I loved cards. I love
trading cards, so I was like, oh, it comes with cards,
and I'm like, what the funk is this perforated bullsh
my upper deckcad. But anyway, so this group, right, the
crazy thing is this the Trump hired this guy Michael Caputo,
who like like helped Oliver North out during the all

(36:10):
the Iran Constra stuff. He was like boosting the careers
of Boris Yeltson and fucking Putin. So then he's like, oh, perfect,
I need you to fucking destroy bon Jovi. And yeah,
it's just amazing, like, you know, using political operatives who
are like real good friends with Roger Stone and ship.
I just love the idea of the AstroTurf anti bon
Jovi group, right, yeah, especially like how are you going

(36:33):
to get a bar to be a bon Jovi free zone?
Like that's imp living on a prayer comes with that
cannot be done? Sorry, Yeah, people love bon Jovi, right,
and then the the wild part the the guy who
fronted this organization, this guy Caputo, he found a double
amputee cancer survivor to be the face of the organization

(36:56):
because he was basically saying, like, you know, if he's
at the front, who's gonna criticize you? You're a double
ampt cancer survivor. And the thing was the university was
the University of Texas. I have no legs Texas or Texas.
And yeah, they sued. They hit him with a season
desist because they're like, we actually trademark the phrase of
the twelfth Man, so we're gonna hit you with the

(37:17):
season desist and Caputo immediately march the guy out there
and he's like, look what they're doing Texas and him
suing a fan who's a double ampt cancer survivor. They're sick.
Keith Oberman even hopped on. He's like, they're the most
they're the worst people. Well, and then to make it up,
they get Texas A and M to donate twenty five thousand, uh,

(37:39):
you know, to help this organizations quote stop the Canadians
from buying their team. Uh. And then as an As
like a sort of like, look, we'll settle. We'll just
change our name to Bill's Fan Thunder uh. And you know,
still again circulating petitions around the city keep the team
in Buffalo again. Something that was never uttered by bon
Jovi or these the Canadian business people that are interested

(38:01):
in buying the team. They never for once said we
have any interests, like, no, we just want to buy
the Buffalo Bills and own this team, like Joey was
talking about moving to Buffalo, right. The only thing that
was that's Canadian about I know exactly the only thing
that was Canadian about the entire thing was that his
business partners were from Toronto and then Trump was like, oh,

(38:24):
we're gonna use that. Yeah, their foreigners. Yeah, he's he's
got a gift. This does kind of make me think
of him as more of an evil genius than I
did going into this story. Well, he's just I think
that's just always his tactic, you know what I mean.
If I don't like someone, let me create some fake
outrage about him. And it's also kind of the US
is playbook in general when they want to topple foreign governments.

(38:47):
It's like, how do I how do I AstroTurf some
outrage in this country or whatever? Most of dick anyway. So, yeah,
is the Buffalo Bills the node that all the evil
energy travels? I think, yeah, it has to be. It's
so weird to actually think about like these little things,
right of, like the Buffalo Bills winning the Super Bowl

(39:08):
and that connection to Timothy McVeigh. If Trump owned it,
would he have been too distracted to try and run
for president? Oh yeah, definitely he would. And he probably
would have put the bills like the Bills wouldn't exist
anymore we can all agree on some barely exists now. Yeah,
he would have driven that franchise into the ground. The
first NFL franchise to go out of business modern era,

(39:31):
Like nobody wanted the Golden seat package with seats were
made of gold. It was either he got to experiment
as the like an experiment in failure as the owner
of the Bills, or as the president of the United States.
And we got the ship end of that stick. Hey.
Well look, you know, shout out to the Bills backers,

(39:53):
you know what I mean, at least congratulations to the Bills. Yeah. Hey,
and then thank you for the Buffalo Wings too, yeah. Absolutely. Uh.
And salt potatoes and white nationalism. What are salt potatoes?
Actually that's Syracuse. What's a salt potato. It's just you
boil potatoes in water that is basically saturated with salt,

(40:13):
and they're really good. Really yeah, it's just a boiled
salty potato. Yeah, and then you butter them there incredible,
highly recommend Alright, salt Dinosaur Barbecue in New York is
like a Syracuse barbecue joint. Oh yeah them right, you
can get that on that website that moves. I'm not
doing that. I thought that's just how you boiled all vegetables. Well,

(40:35):
this is like apparently it's a lot of salt. It's
you like the amount of salt that you would usually
see used during a snowstorm. I think, in fact, that's
how it came to be in Buffalo. Is just they
had a little extra, uh they were they had been
spreading on. They're served in the summer when the young
potatoes are first harvested. M m m m m. Yes,

(40:58):
well I would I would love to have some salt
potatoes for dinner tonight. I think we're settled all learning
a little bit about Buffalo. All right, we're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.

(41:21):
And so conservatives desperately, desperately want to be victims. This
is this has been true in America for a long time.
They just want people to hate them. They want they
want to feel persecuted. And uh so right now, the

(41:41):
fact that some people have yelled at famous conservatives in
public at restaurants or asked them to leave restaurants. So
somebody saw that and was like, I smell money. Yeah,
I mean, we need a green book for Republicans. Yeah.
So that's basically what they have created, mean for scared conservatives, right,

(42:03):
and they love to pretend that they're African American or
in the LGBTQ community, or Muslims or some things. They
can be like, oh, let me look at look at
what we're going through though, right I can't. I wear
a maga hat and I'm racist. Wow? Okay, Well, yes,
there is a thing called sixty three Red Safe, which
is a terrible fucking name. I have no idea what

(42:25):
the funk that means. It sounds like some ship that
NFL quarterback would yell out lightning, lightning. But so it's
an apple. Like you said, you can basically assess a
business over how likely you are to be genocided by
socialist antifa if you go there. Um, And this is
just this is a clip where you can hear the

(42:46):
creator talk about it first and we let's let's talk
about on the other side. I've seen this described as
yelped for conservatives, but Scott on the location set are
deemed unsafe, and that one right there is safe. What
into saying they're not safe? Sure? Well, you know users
can review the local businesses and restaurants. It's just four

(43:08):
quick questions, yes or no questions. Uh Number one, does
this uh location serve all customers regardless of political beliefs. Uh,
will they protect their customers if they're under attacked by
others in the restaurant, there's a concealed carry question? And
does the location uh have a political presence in their

(43:28):
social media? Again, we're trying to get politics out of
these businesses. We we want business to understand that there's
no money in politics. That were and we're working to
call them out on it. People just want to go
out and eat. They just want to go out and shop.
Let's not make too there's sort of a general unease
among conservatives, and we want to make sure everything everyone's

(43:50):
safe out there. I mean those four questions can actually
be distilled down to one do they bang the racists?
Yes or no? Okay? To will they intervene if you're
attacked for screaming? Ship like? Speak English? We speak English
in America. Three can you bring a strap? He really
glossed over that one? Ye, keep that thing on you?

(44:13):
And does the business are they? Are they? Cux is
number four? Basically Yeah, I mean, wow, do we do they?
I can carry my gun? Yeah? Right? I Well, you know,
I hope this leads more people to not go places
where people are going to stand up to racism and
take a treat. Yeah, essentially, I mean, I like the

(44:36):
world where they can only eat at like the olive
garden and uh, the cheesecake factory, right, and then the
rest of us get the good restaurants. Yeah, I mean
olive Garden though sold and breadstick stay out of the
olive Garden magash. I wonder if they I mean, look,
everybody loves a cheesecake factory. But yeah, I don't know, Uh,

(44:58):
I don't know how opping this app is, especially when
you consider like the history of how terribly these apps
end up being. Like every conservative app we've talked about
has had either like crazy malware ship going on or
was like just a straight up scam or fraud. Well,
you don't actually have to get people to use it.
You just have to tell them that the that buying

(45:19):
the app will own the libs and so, you know,
you just get all the people that cut the Nike
swooshes off of their socks, you get them all the
download of app. Boom, there you go. I mean, at
this point, conservatism basically is like its own drifting scheme.
So right, yeah, this is just part and parcel with
everything else, right, Yeah, I mean I hope there. I

(45:41):
hope it all works out. And I mean if it's
anything like what was the Trump dating one, Oh yeah,
that'll it'll it'll flame out in about three minutes. Yeah.
That's been responsible for at least five common law marriages,
and so in the drive to be the victims of persecution,

(46:02):
one conservative has taken it the furthest that you possibly
can by threatening his own life. Yeah, Jacob, Yeah, the
man who gave us the boy the beautiful Twitter meme
of overhearing hipsters in a coffee shop talking whatever the
weird literal liberal scuttle butt was like, just overheard some

(46:24):
hipsters in the coffee shops table. It's like, okay, thank
you for that construction of a joke tweet. Uh. You know,
he was banned off Twitter basically because he's just the
dumbest liar ever really high level comedy or yeah exactly.
We don't know which one it is quite yet. We
might look back and be like, was this Andy Kaufman.

(46:45):
I don't know, but anyway, he had like a really
cool trip he went on to Minnesota to try and
be like I'm going to the belly of the beast
and like Ilhan Omar's district, and he was like really
trying to play up how unsafe. It was like he
was wearing a bulletproof us like, you know, like I got,
I gotta, I have to wear this for my own protection.
Then he got to the point it was like it
was so scary for me there. I was getting death

(47:09):
threats and he's like, look at this d M I
got from at Drake Holmes six one two is a
self described diversity coordinator, So you know where he's what
side this guy's on. He's probably works at a hipster
coffee shop. And the d M was, I hope you
fucking know that if I bump into you in dinky
Town or anywhere else in my city, I'm going to

(47:30):
shoot you and ship on your fucking bodies. Uh oh wow,
And then he said get the funk out of my city,
you piece of ship. Now. Now, when he first saw this,
he was like, I guess he was trying to say
that he was going to go to the police with
this because like, oh, this is a clear this is
someone who's putting my life in danger. Come to find
out that this is an account that was run by

(47:51):
Jacob wool and I mean he's just sending himself faked
death threats. What were the ones that he did a
while back where he did like women for Howard Schultz
or something like this is not his like first fake
Twitter account, Rodeo, No, I mean I don't. God, I
can't even keep track of all the scams he's had.
I need like a list, I mean he has, Yes,

(48:13):
this man is known for doing all the fake ship Oh,
the last one was when he was trying to say
he had like a woman who was going to accuse
Robert Mueller of ra Yeah, and then it like ended
up being his mom's phone number and ship. Yeah, the
website was registered to his mom's house. And then yeah,
he hooked up with that other conservative guy who would

(48:34):
like shot himself in uh in some sort of back
alley meeting where they were supposed to exchange like opposition
research or something, and then they partnered together on trying
to uh to frame Mueller. And then there was a
press conference where his lawyer had his fly down the
entire time. Oh, I think that's Jack Berkeman, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(48:58):
that though, like that quote unquote press conference was the
most awful thing to watch, and but it was also
fitting where it's like the guys talking so authoritatively, his
flies down the whole time. He said that Jacob Bowl
was like a Mozart or or Beethoven. He's one of
our great geniuses. Yes, yes, yeah, oh and that that

(49:18):
reminds me that sure fire intelligence thing. Remember all the
when they talked about the people that worked for the company.
One's just a picture of Christoph Vaults and they're like, yeah,
it's one of our the guys that works at this company.
This this stock photo of a model. Yeah. What this
makes me wonder whatever happened to James O'Keefe. Is there
now going to be a spot for him again, because

(49:39):
I mean I don't know what his latest grift is.
I mean when his Project Veritas things started falling apart.
He seems too subtle for the Trump and I know
that's what I'm wondering, Like it seems like he's not
dumb enough. Maybe yeah, like you have to be like
a professional wrestler slash used car salesman in today's environment,
but like Wildly and Upton or else, it doesn't match

(50:01):
the sort of tone that the Conservative Party is Because yeah,
but O'Keeffe also got owned pretty bad too when you
try to get the Washington Post with like a fake
accuser of yeah, is that what having is that where
he went? What do you mean that that was the
last time he made really big news? Was because then
the Washington Post smelled it from a mile away and

(50:23):
started looking up this woman they were like, supposedly was
giving them a tip, and then they pulled up with it.
It was a roy More accuser. It was back in there,
and then they had the camera. They're like, well, that's
weird because we saw you respond to an ad about
how you're gonna work for conservative media. Now you don't
have anything to do with James O'Keefe to you, And
she was like, I gotta go. So yeah, I mean, look,
learn how to cheat, right. That's all well, speaking of

(50:46):
learning to cheat, right, the transitions have really just written
themselves today. Thanks Paul Man of Fort now faces seven
and a half years in prison. He was finally sentenced
by Judge Amy Berman Jackson and shouldn't seemed that charmed
by him. She seemed like she was not into him. Yeah,
she didn't throw the book at him, but she was

(51:07):
just like, but she let him know. I think in
case if you ever tried to appeal. Her statements are
pretty clear to say, like this is why I gave
this sentence. The like was like you squandered your chance
at leniency, Like they're using those words and like and
you know, contrary to what you may think, facts matter
in my courtroom. And you know, it was one of
those things a lot of people like, oh, give him

(51:27):
ten years, give him ten years. It ended up being
seven and a half total fine, definitely within the guidelines,
unlike Judge Elliott, who was like, oh, I'm sorry, bro,
let me let me give you like a couple of
years with time served. Yeah, he seems to be like
really good about giving people late sentences. I mean they're black, Congressman,
when they're you set the record for the longest sentence ever.

(51:49):
The question is he gonna do it like at a
real prison or is he gonna get to go to
some like cushy federal minimum security thing where he gets
to play softball. Ever it is, I mean, it's gonna
be cushy because the nature of his crimes don't puts
him already in that kind of a prison. She wasn't
in solitary a big portion of the time that he
was being held for because he was witness tampering because
he was on bail, and when he started sucking around,

(52:10):
she's like, oh, no, you're not sucking around, and like
coaching witnesses go to you know, solitary and you know,
she was also very very clear upfront said this trial
has nothing to do with collusion. I'm looking at financial
crimes and these have been proven. This has this is
not anything to do with collusion. So this sentence has

(52:30):
nothing to do with collusion. And of course the first
thing manaforts lawyer comes out and says right after saying,
it's like there was proven, there's no collusion, and it's like, yo, okay,
we already know the pardon is getting cooked up right now.
They they have no reason to say that other than
that they're kissing the president's asset. And I know that's
what he wants to hear, of course, because he's the

(52:53):
guy who can pardon them, and there's nothing anyone can
do about that, right well, oh unless you're the state
of New York. So we all know the president can
only pardon you for you know, crimes, even charge at
the federal level, but at the state level, his hands
are fucking tiny and useless and tied behind his back. Uh.
And right after his sentencing in this federal case, the

(53:16):
state of New York hits him with like a sixteen
count indictment for crimes in the state of New York.
So yeah, it's it's not a great day for him.
Um So I'm not sure what he'll do now. I mean,
like does that make him want to change his tune? Right,
because now they're like, now you're unpardonable, Paul. It would
make sense if everything he's done up to this point
is just with the knowledge that he thinks he can

(53:38):
just get out of this pretty easily with a pardon, right, yeah,
we should. Is there a running tally between how many
people are going to prison from the Trump campaign versus
how many friends of Nixon went to went to jail.
I feel like at this point, like Trump has to
have eclipsed him, right, like he only had a couple Yeah,

(54:00):
the number of indictments and yeah, not now convictions probably
has to be I mean that's Cohen Manafort. Uh that
what was the other guy, Papadopolis Nader? There's that Nader guy.
We would we say Michael Flynn. Yet note Michael Flynn.
So many people about Demi roger Stone imminently. Boy, he's

(54:23):
already been indicted. I feel like Eric Prince is probably
coming up soon. He still not in prison. Yeah again,
anyone who has not seen the Al Jazeera Medi Hassan
versus Eric Prince showdown and we talked about, yeah, I
mean maybe had to check that out because they had
him on a Al Jazeera talk show where he just

(54:47):
it was really refreshing to see somebody not like let
him squirm out of it. Like they weren't worried about
how uncomfortable it was for audiences to watch. They weren't
worried about like losing audience or I don't know whatever.
The fun keeps mainstream media American journalists from like just
staying with an awkward moment and calling somebody on their bullshit.

(55:08):
But yeah, they were like, here, I have the transcript here,

John Bolton, a lot of weird mustaches, and there he
doesn't like the mustaches though, he's always said that. He's like,

when they were talking about John Bolton even having any
kind of affiliation with the administration that he I think
he's pointed out something about his must Yeah. I think
that's one of Trump's only good instincts is that he
didn't like John Bolton's mustache, Like, yeah, that is a
sociopath's mustache. That and also gotta gotta give it to him.
