Jack found a hilarious photo of a Time Magazine cover for "Person of the Year" and the winners were the 2 clerks that beat up the thief stealing cigarettes. As Joe said, this was some "unapologetic standing up forcefully for traditional values."

I just saw this. I don't know who put this together.
(00:01):
I mean, anybody could do this with photoshop in the
modern world. But is a cover of Time magazine Person
of the Year. So it has Person of the Year Time,
the seven eleven ass beater. That's got the guy with
the bat standing over the dude.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Oh I love.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The Times Man of the Year, the seven eleven ass beater.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Oh jeez, that'd be as popular as old red bearded
Oliver Anthony. We got that out well. And seriously, you
know what it occurs to me, my idiotic point or
little attempted humor. There, the unrepresented, unspoken for a crowd
(00:45):
that feels the way he does about the giant government
taking their money and spreading it around, obviously to encourage
dependence and win votes. Also resents that the elite have said, no,
we will not punish crime. We will allow your town,
your city to just go to poop in the name
of justice, Rachel, just social justice something or other, and
(01:09):
crime will run rampant. And you've just got to take
it because we tell you, our professors have said this
is the right way to run a society, So you
just take it. And this year or illegal immigration, same
thing you'd see this in your neighborhoods, not ours, that
you're gonna suffer. So yeah, you're gonna sit down. You're
gonna take it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And this year's Times Person of the Year, beating out
runner ups runners up Gretethunburg and Michelle Obama, it's the
seven to eleven ass beater.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Hero to millions, tens one hundred million. So I guess
that's a common theme.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I don't know. I don't hear it that much that
people think Michelle Obama's gonna jump in at the last
minute and run. At least according to a couple of
my favorite pundits who are tied into that sort of thing,
there's not a chance.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You bringing it up lowered my will to live by
five percent.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But she has no interest in it whatsoever. Her husband
has no interest in her doing it. There's just none there.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Good. They work their scam, they got rich. They're fine. Now.
So tell me this seven eleven ass whoop guy or
what are we supposed to call him? The seven eleven
ass beater? Okay, let me get over that. Make my
semi serious point. Ugh. The seven eleven ass Beater and
(02:37):
Oliver Anthony are both striking blows for traditional values. Absolutely
of self reliance and law abiding behavior. That's what this
is all about. It's not complicated. I don't need a
damn social professor to explain it to me. I don't
care if you're black, White, Native, Hispanic, Asian. You follow
(02:59):
the law and you support yourself period. Is it as
simple as that?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Or you don't get something for nothing. I'm getting up
and going to work every day. You're getting something from
nothing for nothing, either a government program, you're getting something
for nothing by stealing. Neither one of you Am I
okay with right?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
If you win, society crumbles and I'm not gonna have it. Yeah.
I think it's as simple as that, as people standing up,
standing up for traditional values, sometimes with a resonator guitar,
sometimes with a broomstick.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
We need more of that, not less Trump or of avec.
Got to get those guys on the stage with him
at Sommer rally. And if you all saw the video
at the seven eleven, here they are. They come out
with their broom handles.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well, so you got Oliver Anthony playing as resonator and
those guys beating time with their broomsticks.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I pay a dollar to see that brother, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know, I don't like violence. On the other hand,
if somebody tries to steal from me and I can
get the upper hand, there will be violence. So I
totally understand that we do need more unapologetic, forceful standing
up for traditional values, whether at the ballot box or
(04:17):
you know, whatever way is appropriate. No political violence, of course,
but unapologetic standing up forcefully for traditional values.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
