Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning for the windrow of country in Wyoming. Hey
Brownian Dragon. I wonder if anybody remembers when the late
great Rush Limbaugh had his line of club Gitmo gear
back in the day and had pictures sent in from
all over the country wearing said gear.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hmm, have a great Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's funny. Hell, things like that get kind of lost
in the fast pace of history, rushing pastes so quickly
that we forget that he was really on the forefront
of just throwing it in their face. It was hilarious.
So it was Cincinnati, Ohio. I couldn't remember with Cincinnatio
(00:47):
or Ohio. The popo had finally lost an investigation into
a violent attack. It was late Friday, early Saturday morning.
There was the Cincinnati Music Thus of well at pay
Course Stadium, and I think there was a Reds baseball
game going on too. The attack occurred between Elm and
Fourth Street, according to local reports. Videos of the incident
(01:12):
have circulated widely on social media. I found one yesterday,
or maybe I forget I found one that purported to
show the entire attack from the very beginning to the
very end. Shows a white man being shoved to the.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Ground, beaten, multiple beaten to a.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Pulp by multiple black attackers, and then a white woman
receiving a serious concussion. Then you can see other white
people in the background that are being attacked also Now
in my mind, anyway, the compilation of all the footage
(01:58):
depicts a lot of people in this crowd out, including
women joining in the attack. The man, the white guy,
is getting stomped on, beaten for nearly a minute before
being helped to his feet, but then he collapses again.
It appears to me he's suffering from head, nose, and
(02:20):
mouth injuries. Now, the woman who attempted to assist the
man is shown receiving two direct blows to the face
and being knocked unconscious after her head hits the pavement.
Oh it just it makes my head hurt watching it. Now,
there's another video from the same night that shows a
(02:41):
third white person being knocked out in an apparently separate incident,
also involving black assailants. Some of the still photos that
you can find on x and other places, are you
(03:01):
think you're in a third world country? It honestly looks
like a third world country. Yesterday I had an appointment
and I was going to stop on Broadway and get
(03:22):
a dike colchie. There's a MacDonald's at Alameda and Broadway. Well,
I'm beknownst to me there was a stupid festival going
on on Broadway. I didn't realize it was, so it
cost me an extra I don't know. It seems like
thirty minutes to get down Broadway. But when I was
sitting at a stoplight, this would have been at first,
(03:46):
it would have been First Avenue, First Avenue and Broadway.
I look over to my left, not directly to my left,
but kind of at a forty five degree angle, and.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
They're only.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I see the biggest butt crack I think I've seen
in ages, some drugged out, druggy, homeless guy with his
pants down around his butt, all curled up in a
fetal position, all sorts of.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Trash and crap piled all over ring. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I snapped a photo, but I sent it to somebody
else to put up. They can put it up if
they want to. And I thought, as I then looked
around and watched people, Now, did I do anything?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Was I going to do anything? No?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
But I thought about calling nine one one and just saying,
you know, I don't know whether he's dead. I don't
know whether he's you know, odd on something, but looks
awfully pale to me. Obviously there's no movement whatsoever, and
(05:03):
people are literally just stepping over and around this what
appears to be a dude, and you might want to
come and check it, and you what, I finally decided, No,
I'm not gonna waste my time. They want my name,
they want my address. You know, they'll obviously have my
phone number. Would you like to make.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It I can hear it now. Would you like to
make a report?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
No, I have.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I'm calling you to make a report about what appears
to be an o deed homeless guy with his pants
down around his ass, sitting at First Avenue in Broadway.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You might want to come and check into it.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
But of course they wouldn't, which gets me to the
chief of police in Cincinnati, Teresa Fitkaka.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Who says the behavior just is nothing short of cruel
and absolutely unacceptable. The they Baswami, former presidential candidate, tech billionaire,
current Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate wait in quote, I was
born and raised in Cincinnati, and it's sad to see
(06:18):
this kind of heinous violence on the streets. It's a
shame that democrats in our state remain silent when so
many of their constituents are suffering from their lacks on
crime policies. We're going to bring long order back to
our cities across Ohio.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
On my watch.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Now online at least I can't. I really didn't watch
much television news this weekend, but at least online. A
lot of the discourse surrounding the incident has revolved around
the ethnicity of the victims and the attackers, and the
obvious lack of media interest in the issue. Now, this
(07:02):
disparity has drawn the attention of the Department of Justice.
Harmi Dylan, who's the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights,
wrote in a post on x our federal hate crime
laws apply to all Americans. We at the Civil Rights
Division will monitor closely how local authorities handle this attack.
(07:23):
Nobody in our great nation should be the victim of
such a crime, and where race is a motivation, federal
law may apply.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And of course you can watch the video of it online.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yay, if you dare it, Michael says, go to care
dot com. I hesitate to put it up, but it's there,
Michael says, go here dot com.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I was I was going to play it, but it's nothing.
But I don't recall there's a not say for work?
Oh is there a yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah? Put on it?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So I think that this is between that this weekend
and my obviously and I'm certainly not making any bones
about it, my unwillingness to call nine to one one.
(08:14):
You can say, I'm trying to rationalize it as much
as possible, and maybe I am, maybe not, Maybe I
don't care. But if I'm sitting in a car and
I can see this, and then I look around and
I see all these festival goers, well I didn't even
know what the freaking festival was, all walking around, stepping over,
(08:36):
walking around doing everything else.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It is.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's sad to say, but my attitude was if nobody
else cares, why should I care? And if nobody else
is going to do anything, why should I do anything?
And then the third, and I think the most important
rationale in my mind was than for police department sitting
on they're not going to do anything. They might reach
(09:02):
out to some NGO. They maybe might reach out to
an NGO. They might dispatch an ambulance. I don't know,
but how long had the guy been laying there? It's
I mean, considering the pile of stuff that was there,
It wasn't as if I just drove up and just
happened to pull up to the red light and oh
(09:24):
it just happened. No. I think it had been there
for at least several hours. So during that time period,
I'm guessing several hundred people, as many as five hundred people,
that's how crowded Broadway was. As many as five hundred
people may have seen the same thing I did. That's
(09:45):
the destruction of civilization. And now Trump wants to take
all of these dreads of society and Pedleman institutions, reversing
what Reagan was convinced to do. Oh well, actually going
back even to Carter, what, oh, no, we you know,
(10:07):
we we can't do that. We should just you know,
leave them alone, let them alone. Well, now we see
after decades of that kind of bull crap what it
leads to. It leads to more crime. We we saw
over the weekend. Was it three people shot at was
it market marketing?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Blake? Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
No, some somewhere near near the ballpark, Uh, three people
shot I think at bar closing time, so you know,
two o'clock in the morning or so, and DPD no information.
We're you know, we're investigating it. It just it's become
part of our society. It simply become an acceptable he
(10:55):
goes unnoticed, part of our society. And then when it
becomes obviously racially motivated, as it was in Cincinnati, the
media chooses to completely ignore it, totally, completely ignored, as
if nothing occurred whatsoever. Deadline UH online magazine it covers
(11:22):
news entertainment reports this. As the Federal Communications Commissioned reviews
its proposed acquisition of Paramount Global. Sky Dance, that's the
company owned by Larry Ellison's son, has committed to create
an ombudsman position to review complaints of bias at CBS News.
(11:45):
An ombudsman at CBS News, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
They're going to find?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
One executive one time said this, of course there's a
this is a CBS News executive. Of course there's there's
a liberal bias in mainstream journalism. But don't ever repeat
what I just said. Well, I thought the business of
CBS News, as any news organization, was to report the news.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So this move by Sky Dance.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Sky Dance is probably best known for Tom Cruise hanging
off the side of airplanes is a significant shift in thinking.
The idea of somebody at CBS or anywhere inside the
cabal whose actual job is to call balls and strike
some bias. Now, that's a bold step in theory. It's
(12:45):
a great idea, but theory and reality are two different animals. Journalists,
especially in the big newsrooms, have an obvious reflexive there's
something in their bones, in their DNA, it's a reflexive defense.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Mechanism when it comes to criticism.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
They all circle the wagons and Autumn Budsman actually could
theoretically break through that wall of self righteousness, of self
indignation if you dare challenge our biases, or it could
just become another figurehead with no real power.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
We'll eventually see which wins out soon enough, but I
think there's a problem that sky Dance might not fully appreciate. Look,
I admire them, and if that was as many in
the cabal claim that, oh, you're only putting in an
no Budsman, not because there is bias, but because Donald
(13:44):
Trump sued CBS and you know, we got the whole
sixty minutes in the word solid interview and all that crap.
You're just doing this in order to try to, I
don't know, somehow appease the FCC in order to get
the merger approved, which by the way, has been approved,
I think, But I think sky Dance may not fully
appreciate something. Once that on Budsman chair gets filled, the
(14:10):
flaggates could open. They'll probably get complaints from everybody every
It'll run the gamut from people have really legitimate concerns
to people who see liberal bias say in the weather report,
which well, maybe maybe I shouldn't say that, because I
do see bias in the weather report. You know it's it.
(14:35):
Which is why I watch Dave Fraser and the meteorologists
at Channel thirty one because they don't tell me about
climate change. They don't tell me that, oh my god,
the heat way, we're gonna have one hundred degrees today.
Did they literally dragons say that they was going to
be a scorcher because it was one hundred degrees?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah, not even one hundred degrees. It is upper nineties
ninety eight. If I recall, if.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That's the scorch, that's a scorch.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Anyway, I should retract my phraseology about biases in the
weather report, because clearly I think there is If Leslie
Stall at CBS News, if she blinks while saying Donald Trump,
half the magaworld will take that as proof of a
(15:23):
left wing conspiracy, and I think rightfully so. But when
the ombudsman rejects those complaints, which is going to happen,
do you think the critics are going to say, well,
I guess CBS was right on that one. No, the
ombudsman is going to end up being just another liberal
hack covering for a liberal journalists.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I have a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Of optimism simply because Larry Ellison and his son.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Whose name I never can remember.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Are actually supporters of Donald Trump. They actually do support
they are maga people, They actually do support the Trump
administration's agenda, and I think Skydance really does. Whether it's idealistic,
whether it's realistic or not, I don't know. But the
idea of actually appointing an ombudsman and actually trying to
root out about bias, I say.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Go for it.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But then I start to wonder what happens if the
ombudsman actually does call out real bias. You know, what's
going to happen. The journalists at CBS News are going
to push back, and then they're gonna dismiss the ombudsman,
the some right wing nut job that was installed by
(16:41):
sky Dance simply to appease, you know, the FCC and
to try to get the merger through. So the ombudsman
is going to take fire from every side. Who's gonna
want that job?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Nobody?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
You know, the newsroom culture is something like this. If
you think we have a bias, that proves you're the
one with a bias, think about what a neat little
trick that is, because that absolves journalists of any accountability.
And I think that's one reason why, in addition to
the issue in Cincinnati, the problem with the shootings down
(17:20):
at the ballpark over the weekend in Denver, I think
that's why so many Americans have not just stopped trusting
the news, they stop watching the news. Oh, I'd probably
still watch it simply whether I was doing this job
or not. I would still probably still watch it because
I watched it with a really I've got really bad jundice.
(17:43):
When I watch television news.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I hear you.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
I wouldn't have done the same thing last time I
helped out a homeless person, I was giving them some
McDonald's food. They asked me what they what the hell
that was for, and they didn't take it, so I said, okay,
see you later.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That happened to me in New York one time. I
had been to, oh, one of the fancy steakhouses. I
forget which one, maybe maybe Peter Luger's, but anyway, I've
been to its fancy steakhouse and had a gigantic steak,
had half of it left.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Had uh.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I'd cut the baked potato and half because I knew
it wasn't gonna eat half of it, so it was on.
Half of it was untouched and there may have been
I don't know, asparagus or broccoli or something with it,
and so they put it in a really nice.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
To go box.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I had no intention of taking it back to the hotel.
I wasn't I was going to give it away. I
was going to give it to a homeless person. So
it was it was in a you know, a brown
paper bag, had you know, the Peter Luger again what
I forget which steakhouse it was, but they had the
logo and stuff on the bag. And I turned the
(19:05):
corner onto I don't know, third Avenue or something, and
there's the first homeless person I see, you know, leaning up,
you know, sitting on the on the vent. And it
wasn't really cold. I was still sitting on the vent,
and I said, I have half of a really good
steak and baked potato, and I've got plastic utensils, and
(19:28):
there's some butter and sour cream in here if you
want it for the steak, and there's some some vegetables.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And here this is for you.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
No, I don't eat steak. Okay, took it. Walked around
the corner. There was a McDonald's. There was a guy
sitting in the McDonald's head on the table obviously on
some of these passed out or water just asleep, I
(20:01):
don't know, but nothing. I think you might might have
had a cup of coffee or something. And that was it.
And so what I did was just walked over and
just sat the bag down next to him and walked out.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I don't know whether he did or not.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I've seen several of that kind of thing happen when
I used to do promotions and concert venues that homeless
people would kind of wander around, and numerous people would
stop by and hand off some food to the homeless person.
And I've seen on multiple occasions that homeless person walked
right over to the trash ben and throw it away.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Wow, I'm not homeless and you get me anything deep
at all. Right now, I'll just scarf it down. Yep,
I'll just scarf it down.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Real quickly.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
And I want to move on to something else, But
drag Dragon left a story on the console about Trump's
Order on Homelessness. Now here's what Denveright writes about the
new order. The new order prioritizes criminalization and involuntary civil
commitment of those forced to live on the streets due
(21:11):
to the federal governments failure to invest in housing solutions
that could have solved homelessness decades ago. According to the
Colorado Coalition to the Homeless and a statement they issue
on Friday, what I find that statement astonishing. It prioritizes
(21:33):
criminalization and involuntary civil commitment. Now, the order says that
cities should force people that are experiencing homelessness into treatment
for addiction and mental health issues instead of the practice
of just putting them into a homeless shelter. When you
(21:55):
don't treat and you just shove them into a homeless shelter,
what do you turn the homeless shelter into and s
whole shelter? It becomes a crap hole shelter riddled with crime, drugs, prostitution,
everything you can possibly imagine, and Trump saying what we're
(22:19):
doing this backwards? The majority of people that are homeless
are homeless because of addictions or mental health issues. So
why don't we scoop them off the streets and put
them in institutions? Oh? Why, that's involuntary civil commitment. Yeah, well,
you know what, I don't want crazy people in the streets.
(22:40):
They're public streets, by the way, and I don't want
them there. So what would you other me do? Would
you rather me say, Hey, listen, you're out here on
the sidewalk, you're out here in front of my business.
Once you go around back to the dumpster, why don't
you go hide back in the alley, back in the
dumpster somewhere, you know, out of sight, out of mind.
Ugh dries me up the freaking wall. And you know what,
(23:08):
you know why it persists, right because it's an industry.
It's a business. It's a profit making business. I don't
care if you call yourself a nonprofit, and indeed you
may be a nonprofit. But there's an executive director or
there's a CEO, there's a chief financial officer, there's an
(23:28):
IT person, there's a there's an HR person. There there's
medical staff, there's there's you know, all sorts of social workers,
and they're all getting paid. It's a job producing industry,
and we perpetuate it by creating more and more homelessness.
And then we pump billions of dollars into what into
shelters and other crap that doesn't have any Have we
(23:52):
ever analyzed and done any metrics whatsoever to see if
we're getting our money's worth, because obviously we're not.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Otherwise we to solve the problem.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
John Hickenlooper, his stupid what ten year road home program expired?
What twenty years ago? Meanwhile, what's he done? He's just fed.
Once the oil bust hit and he sold the bar,
What did he do or the pub or whatever you
want to call it. What did he do? He went
(24:24):
on the government teat and he's been living on the
government teat ever since. Such a stereotypical Democrat I don't
know if maybe you can explain this story to me.
I've tried to understand it. I don't I don't I
get the story. I don't get I don't get the
advertising angle. The Women's National Basketball Association teamed up with Gatorade.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Have you seen this ad campaign? Dragon?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
No, I don't know this one yet.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
They've teamed up with Gatorade to launch an ad campaign
suggesting that the w NBA players would be more useful
in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
It's called the let Her Cook campaign. So there's there.
They're billboards.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I found one on on X there's a bit I don't.
I don't where this billboard is located, but you've got
one two, three, four, five, sixty seven, eight nine. You've
got ten basketball players and the Gatorade logo, you know,
the little orange kind of arrow or whatever it is,
and the logo is let her Cook.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Let her cook?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Now over victory girls. They snicker this. Obviously somebody in
the advertising department Bullpen was looking for a pithy phrase
that would fit on a billboard crowded with images of
sweaty women. But I don't think they thought through the implications.
I personally find Gatorade undrinkable and the WNBA boring. But
today I'm very entertained, so quote let her cook is
(25:57):
not a complete failure.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
The day messes that run the advertising industry in this
country usually have a pernicious effect on society. But maybe
I don't know, maybe this time will be different. Over
the American thinker, they right before feminism took over America,
women routinely reported a high level of happiness in their marriages,
their homes, and their communities. And then they started coming
(26:20):
a coming a long way baby, and their happiness quotient dropped.
While women were generally happier than men in the fifties,
today women report being significantly less happy than men. WNBA
women bitter, race obsessed, often man hating might have been
a whole lot happier were they cooking for a family
(26:40):
in a nineteen fifties kitchen. Datorade with a absolutely killer
marketing campaign to rev up interest in the WNBA being
called bold and courageous and gosh darns about time somebody
took the initiative, well, let her cook, put her in
the kitchen? Is it about putting her in the kitchen?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Have you seen it? Yet dragon.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah, I just posted it to Michael says go here
dot com. It's nothing about have you seen it? Yes, okay,
it's nothing about cooking. I mean it's more or less
that that sports term. Like when Russell Wilson was here,
let him let Russ cook. It's let him, you know,
do his job and you know, come up with something great.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
So that's the purpose of it.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
See, I totally don't get it because I've never heard
the phrase. Like Russell Wilson left. By the way, he
apparently didn't cook very well.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Don't worry. He's on his third team in three years.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh okay, okay, so he hasn't learned to cook yet either. Hey,
he has a Super Bowl trophy, he's got a ring. Well, well,
some of the Broncos they got a couple of rings.
No current players though, a little current like in the
past decade or too serious like I think the last
(28:01):
broncoed Super Bowl I wrote wasn't it you know?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Omaha omaha eleven years but yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought
it was at least a decade ago. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Well, so they're not cooking either. Maybe they need to it,
Maybe we all need to adopt this. See, I totally,
I totally misunderstood.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
But yeah, it's just a sports phrase, so yeah, I
don't I don't think it has anything reference to kitchen
other than they have to be women and we're telling
them to go cook.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Which see seems to be a little a little too cute.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
By half, like you not knowing the phrase right, not
not hearing that before in non w n B a
non women's sports terms. It seems very peculiar to you.
But yeah, it has been a thing for a while.
Let them cook, okay, well liver cook in the kitchen. Yeah,
(28:54):
just go let them cook.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
In the kitchen. Brownie Mike Michael, Hey, you guys ever
get one?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Please play it up there.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
But I want an alligator alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
T shirt consulation, and I would gladly send you a
headless photo of me wearing a constitution. Hi, guys, have
a great one.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
It is Monday's for good luck.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Well, there is a section that Michael says, go here
dot com that we don't talk about very much, but
it is a little tab up there, says Michael's murty.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yeah, and if you're gonna send us if we have
one made, and then you're gonna send us a headless
photo of although what good is that, because we want
to plash your mugshot all over the place so you
know they'll know who to come after. They'll leave us alone,
so you don't have a bug boo about free speech. Well,
(29:43):
since Friday, the United Kingdom had an act that's taken effect.
It's called the Online Safety Act. Yeah, it's to keep
you safe. Anytime the government tells me they want to
keep me safe. Scares me anyway. It's being used to
prevent people on x formerly Twitter, from viewing all these
(30:08):
anti mass migration protests footage that's being posted, and excuse me,
even preventing them from listening to parliamentary speeches on the
subject of Muslim rape gangs. This Online Act is preventing
people on Twitter from seeing what Parliaments members of Parliament
(30:32):
are saying, the MP's are saying about the subject of
Muslim rape gangs, which is a huge topic in the
United Kingdom, or from even just watching an anti immigrant
illegal immigrant protests, any footage of that and guests who
put it together. The Tory government, which is the Conservative Party,
(30:57):
they pitched it as a means of shield bilding kids
from porn and other online graphic content. But still the
provisions are now being used shocker a censoring political speech.
So right after the law wenting to affect on Friday,
a bunch of British users shared screenshots of X messages
(31:20):
they had received while trying to access footage of these
anti mess immigration protests. What was important about these protests?
They were sparked by an alleged sexual assault of a
fourteen year old girl by an illegal alien from Ethiopia
in Epping, England. The message they got from X read
(31:41):
as follows quote. Due to local laws, we are temporarily
restricting access to this content until X estimates your age.
Estimate your age what we think you're what we think
you're eighteen, We think you're actually seventeen and a half.
That's supposed enough for us.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
We'll let you go now.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I don't blame X for this. They're simply trying to
figure out a way to comply with the law. Why
because you can. You can face a fine of up
to eighteen million pounds that's about twenty four million dollars
a year, or ten percent of a company's global turnover
for violating the online Safety Act, so they're obviously being
overly cautious. Musk said that the Online Safety Act's purpose
(32:28):
is actually suppression of the people. Yeah, oh yeah, but
it's couch then, oh, we got to protect the kiddies
from porn, which I'm not saying you don't. But if
that's your reason, then why are you blocking other things?
So far, the petition calling for the repeal has more
(32:49):
than one hundred and sixty thousand signatures, which sounds like
a lot, but when you think about the entire population
of the United Kingdom, it's not that much. So now,
guess what is surging, which is for virtual private networks VPNs,
software that will mask or hide your IP address to
stimulate your being in a or to simulate you being
(33:10):
in a in a different country other than the United Kingdom.
Those searches served by more than seven hundred percent on Friday,
because users are trying to bypass the new restrictions. Now,
the incumbent Labor Party, the Liberal Party under Prime Minister
stir Ker Starmer, is now considering what repealing the law
(33:32):
no banning VPNs to prevent them from being used to
bypass the national censorship regulations being imposed in.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
The United Kingdom. It never ends.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
And if you don't think that there isn't somebody by
the name of Oh, I don't know Elizabeth Warren or
AOC or Bernie Sanders, or I don't know Zoran Mundamie
in New York, or for that matter, I don't know
some probably dumbass Republican who's thinking, oh, we need that here, yeah,
all in the name of protecting the children, because it's
(34:05):
always about the children.
Good morning for the windrow of country in Wyoming. Hey
Brownian Dragon. I wonder if anybody remembers when the late
great Rush Limbaugh had his line of club Gitmo gear
back in the day and had pictures sent in from
all over the country wearing said gear.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hmm, have a great Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's funny. Hell, things like that get kind of lost
in the fast pace of history, rushing pastes so quickly
that we forget that he was really on the forefront
of just throwing it in their face. It was hilarious.
So it was Cincinnati, Ohio. I couldn't remember with Cincinnatio
(00:47):
or Ohio. The popo had finally lost an investigation into
a violent attack. It was late Friday, early Saturday morning.
There was the Cincinnati Music Thus of well at pay
Course Stadium, and I think there was a Reds baseball
game going on too. The attack occurred between Elm and
Fourth Street, according to local reports. Videos of the incident
(01:12):
have circulated widely on social media. I found one yesterday,
or maybe I forget I found one that purported to
show the entire attack from the very beginning to the
very end. Shows a white man being shoved to the.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Ground, beaten, multiple beaten to a.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Pulp by multiple black attackers, and then a white woman
receiving a serious concussion. Then you can see other white
people in the background that are being attacked also Now
in my mind, anyway, the compilation of all the footage
(01:58):
depicts a lot of people in this crowd out, including
women joining in the attack. The man, the white guy,
is getting stomped on, beaten for nearly a minute before
being helped to his feet, but then he collapses again.
It appears to me he's suffering from head, nose, and
(02:20):
mouth injuries. Now, the woman who attempted to assist the
man is shown receiving two direct blows to the face
and being knocked unconscious after her head hits the pavement.
Oh it just it makes my head hurt watching it. Now,
there's another video from the same night that shows a
(02:41):
third white person being knocked out in an apparently separate incident,
also involving black assailants. Some of the still photos that
you can find on x and other places, are you
(03:01):
think you're in a third world country? It honestly looks
like a third world country. Yesterday I had an appointment
and I was going to stop on Broadway and get
(03:22):
a dike colchie. There's a MacDonald's at Alameda and Broadway. Well,
I'm beknownst to me there was a stupid festival going
on on Broadway. I didn't realize it was, so it
cost me an extra I don't know. It seems like
thirty minutes to get down Broadway. But when I was
sitting at a stoplight, this would have been at first,
(03:46):
it would have been First Avenue, First Avenue and Broadway.
I look over to my left, not directly to my left,
but kind of at a forty five degree angle, and.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
They're only.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I see the biggest butt crack I think I've seen
in ages, some drugged out, druggy, homeless guy with his
pants down around his butt, all curled up in a
fetal position, all sorts of.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Trash and crap piled all over ring. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I snapped a photo, but I sent it to somebody
else to put up. They can put it up if
they want to. And I thought, as I then looked
around and watched people, Now, did I do anything?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Was I going to do anything? No?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
But I thought about calling nine one one and just saying,
you know, I don't know whether he's dead. I don't
know whether he's you know, odd on something, but looks
awfully pale to me. Obviously there's no movement whatsoever, and
(05:03):
people are literally just stepping over and around this what
appears to be a dude, and you might want to
come and check it, and you what, I finally decided, No,
I'm not gonna waste my time. They want my name,
they want my address. You know, they'll obviously have my
phone number. Would you like to make.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It I can hear it now. Would you like to
make a report?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
No, I have.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I'm calling you to make a report about what appears
to be an o deed homeless guy with his pants
down around his ass, sitting at First Avenue in Broadway.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You might want to come and check into it.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
But of course they wouldn't, which gets me to the
chief of police in Cincinnati, Teresa Fitkaka.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Who says the behavior just is nothing short of cruel
and absolutely unacceptable. The they Baswami, former presidential candidate, tech billionaire,
current Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate wait in quote, I was
born and raised in Cincinnati, and it's sad to see
(06:18):
this kind of heinous violence on the streets. It's a
shame that democrats in our state remain silent when so
many of their constituents are suffering from their lacks on
crime policies. We're going to bring long order back to
our cities across Ohio.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
On my watch.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Now online at least I can't. I really didn't watch
much television news this weekend, but at least online. A
lot of the discourse surrounding the incident has revolved around
the ethnicity of the victims and the attackers, and the
obvious lack of media interest in the issue. Now, this
(07:02):
disparity has drawn the attention of the Department of Justice.
Harmi Dylan, who's the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights,
wrote in a post on x our federal hate crime
laws apply to all Americans. We at the Civil Rights
Division will monitor closely how local authorities handle this attack.
(07:23):
Nobody in our great nation should be the victim of
such a crime, and where race is a motivation, federal
law may apply.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And of course you can watch the video of it online.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yay, if you dare it, Michael says, go to care
dot com. I hesitate to put it up, but it's there,
Michael says, go here dot com.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I was I was going to play it, but it's nothing.
But I don't recall there's a not say for work?
Oh is there a yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah? Put on it?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So I think that this is between that this weekend
and my obviously and I'm certainly not making any bones
about it, my unwillingness to call nine to one one.
(08:14):
You can say, I'm trying to rationalize it as much
as possible, and maybe I am, maybe not, Maybe I
don't care. But if I'm sitting in a car and
I can see this, and then I look around and
I see all these festival goers, well I didn't even
know what the freaking festival was, all walking around, stepping over,
(08:36):
walking around doing everything else.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It is.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's sad to say, but my attitude was if nobody
else cares, why should I care? And if nobody else
is going to do anything, why should I do anything?
And then the third, and I think the most important
rationale in my mind was than for police department sitting
on they're not going to do anything. They might reach
(09:02):
out to some NGO. They maybe might reach out to
an NGO. They might dispatch an ambulance. I don't know,
but how long had the guy been laying there? It's
I mean, considering the pile of stuff that was there,
It wasn't as if I just drove up and just
happened to pull up to the red light and oh
(09:24):
it just happened. No. I think it had been there
for at least several hours. So during that time period,
I'm guessing several hundred people, as many as five hundred people,
that's how crowded Broadway was. As many as five hundred
people may have seen the same thing I did. That's
(09:45):
the destruction of civilization. And now Trump wants to take
all of these dreads of society and Pedleman institutions, reversing
what Reagan was convinced to do. Oh well, actually going
back even to Carter, what, oh, no, we you know,
(10:07):
we we can't do that. We should just you know,
leave them alone, let them alone. Well, now we see
after decades of that kind of bull crap what it
leads to. It leads to more crime. We we saw
over the weekend. Was it three people shot at was
it market marketing?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Blake? Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
No, some somewhere near near the ballpark, Uh, three people
shot I think at bar closing time, so you know,
two o'clock in the morning or so, and DPD no information.
We're you know, we're investigating it. It just it's become
part of our society. It simply become an acceptable he
(10:55):
goes unnoticed, part of our society. And then when it
becomes obviously racially motivated, as it was in Cincinnati, the
media chooses to completely ignore it, totally, completely ignored, as
if nothing occurred whatsoever. Deadline UH online magazine it covers
(11:22):
news entertainment reports this. As the Federal Communications Commissioned reviews
its proposed acquisition of Paramount Global. Sky Dance, that's the
company owned by Larry Ellison's son, has committed to create
an ombudsman position to review complaints of bias at CBS News.
(11:45):
An ombudsman at CBS News, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
They're going to find?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
One executive one time said this, of course there's a
this is a CBS News executive. Of course there's there's
a liberal bias in mainstream journalism. But don't ever repeat
what I just said. Well, I thought the business of
CBS News, as any news organization, was to report the news.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So this move by Sky Dance.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Sky Dance is probably best known for Tom Cruise hanging
off the side of airplanes is a significant shift in thinking.
The idea of somebody at CBS or anywhere inside the
cabal whose actual job is to call balls and strike
some bias. Now, that's a bold step in theory. It's
(12:45):
a great idea, but theory and reality are two different animals. Journalists,
especially in the big newsrooms, have an obvious reflexive there's
something in their bones, in their DNA, it's a reflexive defense.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Mechanism when it comes to criticism.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
They all circle the wagons and Autumn Budsman actually could
theoretically break through that wall of self righteousness, of self
indignation if you dare challenge our biases, or it could
just become another figurehead with no real power.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
We'll eventually see which wins out soon enough, but I
think there's a problem that sky Dance might not fully appreciate. Look,
I admire them, and if that was as many in
the cabal claim that, oh, you're only putting in an
no Budsman, not because there is bias, but because Donald
(13:44):
Trump sued CBS and you know, we got the whole
sixty minutes in the word solid interview and all that crap.
You're just doing this in order to try to, I
don't know, somehow appease the FCC in order to get
the merger approved, which by the way, has been approved,
I think, But I think sky Dance may not fully
appreciate something. Once that on Budsman chair gets filled, the
(14:10):
flaggates could open. They'll probably get complaints from everybody every
It'll run the gamut from people have really legitimate concerns
to people who see liberal bias say in the weather report,
which well, maybe maybe I shouldn't say that, because I
do see bias in the weather report. You know it's it.
(14:35):
Which is why I watch Dave Fraser and the meteorologists
at Channel thirty one because they don't tell me about
climate change. They don't tell me that, oh my god,
the heat way, we're gonna have one hundred degrees today.
Did they literally dragons say that they was going to
be a scorcher because it was one hundred degrees?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah, not even one hundred degrees. It is upper nineties
ninety eight. If I recall, if.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That's the scorch, that's a scorch.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Anyway, I should retract my phraseology about biases in the
weather report, because clearly I think there is If Leslie
Stall at CBS News, if she blinks while saying Donald Trump,
half the magaworld will take that as proof of a
(15:23):
left wing conspiracy, and I think rightfully so. But when
the ombudsman rejects those complaints, which is going to happen,
do you think the critics are going to say, well,
I guess CBS was right on that one. No, the
ombudsman is going to end up being just another liberal
hack covering for a liberal journalists.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I have a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Of optimism simply because Larry Ellison and his son.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Whose name I never can remember.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Are actually supporters of Donald Trump. They actually do support
they are maga people, They actually do support the Trump
administration's agenda, and I think Skydance really does. Whether it's idealistic,
whether it's realistic or not, I don't know. But the
idea of actually appointing an ombudsman and actually trying to
root out about bias, I say.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Go for it.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But then I start to wonder what happens if the
ombudsman actually does call out real bias. You know, what's
going to happen. The journalists at CBS News are going
to push back, and then they're gonna dismiss the ombudsman,
the some right wing nut job that was installed by
(16:41):
sky Dance simply to appease, you know, the FCC and
to try to get the merger through. So the ombudsman
is going to take fire from every side. Who's gonna
want that job?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Nobody?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
You know, the newsroom culture is something like this. If
you think we have a bias, that proves you're the
one with a bias, think about what a neat little
trick that is, because that absolves journalists of any accountability.
And I think that's one reason why, in addition to
the issue in Cincinnati, the problem with the shootings down
(17:20):
at the ballpark over the weekend in Denver, I think
that's why so many Americans have not just stopped trusting
the news, they stop watching the news. Oh, I'd probably
still watch it simply whether I was doing this job
or not. I would still probably still watch it because
I watched it with a really I've got really bad jundice.
(17:43):
When I watch television news.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I hear you.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
I wouldn't have done the same thing last time I
helped out a homeless person, I was giving them some
McDonald's food. They asked me what they what the hell
that was for, and they didn't take it, so I said, okay,
see you later.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
That happened to me in New York one time. I
had been to, oh, one of the fancy steakhouses. I
forget which one, maybe maybe Peter Luger's, but anyway, I've
been to its fancy steakhouse and had a gigantic steak,
had half of it left.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Had uh.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I'd cut the baked potato and half because I knew
it wasn't gonna eat half of it, so it was on.
Half of it was untouched and there may have been
I don't know, asparagus or broccoli or something with it,
and so they put it in a really nice.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
To go box.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I had no intention of taking it back to the hotel.
I wasn't I was going to give it away. I
was going to give it to a homeless person. So
it was it was in a you know, a brown
paper bag, had you know, the Peter Luger again what
I forget which steakhouse it was, but they had the
logo and stuff on the bag. And I turned the
(19:05):
corner onto I don't know, third Avenue or something, and
there's the first homeless person I see, you know, leaning up,
you know, sitting on the on the vent. And it
wasn't really cold. I was still sitting on the vent,
and I said, I have half of a really good
steak and baked potato, and I've got plastic utensils, and
(19:28):
there's some butter and sour cream in here if you
want it for the steak, and there's some some vegetables.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And here this is for you.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
No, I don't eat steak. Okay, took it. Walked around
the corner. There was a McDonald's. There was a guy
sitting in the McDonald's head on the table obviously on
some of these passed out or water just asleep, I
(20:01):
don't know, but nothing. I think you might might have
had a cup of coffee or something. And that was it.
And so what I did was just walked over and
just sat the bag down next to him and walked out.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I don't know whether he did or not.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I've seen several of that kind of thing happen when
I used to do promotions and concert venues that homeless
people would kind of wander around, and numerous people would
stop by and hand off some food to the homeless person.
And I've seen on multiple occasions that homeless person walked
right over to the trash ben and throw it away.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Wow, I'm not homeless and you get me anything deep
at all. Right now, I'll just scarf it down. Yep,
I'll just scarf it down.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Real quickly.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
And I want to move on to something else, But
drag Dragon left a story on the console about Trump's
Order on Homelessness. Now here's what Denveright writes about the
new order. The new order prioritizes criminalization and involuntary civil
commitment of those forced to live on the streets due
(21:11):
to the federal governments failure to invest in housing solutions
that could have solved homelessness decades ago. According to the
Colorado Coalition to the Homeless and a statement they issue
on Friday, what I find that statement astonishing. It prioritizes
(21:33):
criminalization and involuntary civil commitment. Now, the order says that
cities should force people that are experiencing homelessness into treatment
for addiction and mental health issues instead of the practice
of just putting them into a homeless shelter. When you
(21:55):
don't treat and you just shove them into a homeless shelter,
what do you turn the homeless shelter into and s
whole shelter? It becomes a crap hole shelter riddled with crime, drugs, prostitution,
everything you can possibly imagine, and Trump saying what we're
(22:19):
doing this backwards? The majority of people that are homeless
are homeless because of addictions or mental health issues. So
why don't we scoop them off the streets and put
them in institutions? Oh? Why, that's involuntary civil commitment. Yeah, well,
you know what, I don't want crazy people in the streets.
(22:40):
They're public streets, by the way, and I don't want
them there. So what would you other me do? Would
you rather me say, Hey, listen, you're out here on
the sidewalk, you're out here in front of my business.
Once you go around back to the dumpster, why don't
you go hide back in the alley, back in the
dumpster somewhere, you know, out of sight, out of mind.
Ugh dries me up the freaking wall. And you know what,
(23:08):
you know why it persists, right because it's an industry.
It's a business. It's a profit making business. I don't
care if you call yourself a nonprofit, and indeed you
may be a nonprofit. But there's an executive director or
there's a CEO, there's a chief financial officer, there's an
(23:28):
IT person, there's a there's an HR person. There there's
medical staff, there's there's you know, all sorts of social workers,
and they're all getting paid. It's a job producing industry,
and we perpetuate it by creating more and more homelessness.
And then we pump billions of dollars into what into
shelters and other crap that doesn't have any Have we
(23:52):
ever analyzed and done any metrics whatsoever to see if
we're getting our money's worth, because obviously we're not.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Otherwise we to solve the problem.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
John Hickenlooper, his stupid what ten year road home program expired?
What twenty years ago? Meanwhile, what's he done? He's just fed.
Once the oil bust hit and he sold the bar,
What did he do or the pub or whatever you
want to call it. What did he do? He went
(24:24):
on the government teat and he's been living on the
government teat ever since. Such a stereotypical Democrat I don't
know if maybe you can explain this story to me.
I've tried to understand it. I don't I don't I
get the story. I don't get I don't get the
advertising angle. The Women's National Basketball Association teamed up with Gatorade.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Have you seen this ad campaign? Dragon?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
No, I don't know this one yet.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
They've teamed up with Gatorade to launch an ad campaign
suggesting that the w NBA players would be more useful
in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
It's called the let Her Cook campaign. So there's there.
They're billboards.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I found one on on X there's a bit I don't.
I don't where this billboard is located, but you've got
one two, three, four, five, sixty seven, eight nine. You've
got ten basketball players and the Gatorade logo, you know,
the little orange kind of arrow or whatever it is,
and the logo is let her Cook.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Let her cook?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Now over victory girls. They snicker this. Obviously somebody in
the advertising department Bullpen was looking for a pithy phrase
that would fit on a billboard crowded with images of
sweaty women. But I don't think they thought through the implications.
I personally find Gatorade undrinkable and the WNBA boring. But
today I'm very entertained, so quote let her cook is
(25:57):
not a complete failure.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Now.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
The day messes that run the advertising industry in this
country usually have a pernicious effect on society. But maybe
I don't know, maybe this time will be different. Over
the American thinker, they right before feminism took over America,
women routinely reported a high level of happiness in their marriages,
their homes, and their communities. And then they started coming
(26:20):
a coming a long way baby, and their happiness quotient dropped.
While women were generally happier than men in the fifties,
today women report being significantly less happy than men. WNBA
women bitter, race obsessed, often man hating might have been
a whole lot happier were they cooking for a family
(26:40):
in a nineteen fifties kitchen. Datorade with a absolutely killer
marketing campaign to rev up interest in the WNBA being
called bold and courageous and gosh darns about time somebody
took the initiative, well, let her cook, put her in
the kitchen? Is it about putting her in the kitchen?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Have you seen it? Yet dragon.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah, I just posted it to Michael says go here
dot com. It's nothing about have you seen it? Yes, okay,
it's nothing about cooking. I mean it's more or less
that that sports term. Like when Russell Wilson was here,
let him let Russ cook. It's let him, you know,
do his job and you know, come up with something great.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
So that's the purpose of it.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
See, I totally don't get it because I've never heard
the phrase. Like Russell Wilson left. By the way, he
apparently didn't cook very well.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Don't worry. He's on his third team in three years.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh okay, okay, so he hasn't learned to cook yet either. Hey,
he has a Super Bowl trophy, he's got a ring. Well, well,
some of the Broncos they got a couple of rings.
No current players though, a little current like in the
past decade or too serious like I think the last
(28:01):
broncoed Super Bowl I wrote wasn't it you know?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Omaha omaha eleven years but yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought
it was at least a decade ago. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Well, so they're not cooking either. Maybe they need to it,
Maybe we all need to adopt this. See, I totally,
I totally misunderstood.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
But yeah, it's just a sports phrase, so yeah, I
don't I don't think it has anything reference to kitchen
other than they have to be women and we're telling
them to go cook.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Which see seems to be a little a little too cute.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
By half, like you not knowing the phrase right, not
not hearing that before in non w n B a
non women's sports terms. It seems very peculiar to you.
But yeah, it has been a thing for a while.
Let them cook, okay, well liver cook in the kitchen. Yeah,
(28:54):
just go let them cook.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
In the kitchen. Brownie Mike Michael, Hey, you guys ever
get one?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Please play it up there.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
But I want an alligator alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
T shirt consulation, and I would gladly send you a
headless photo of me wearing a constitution. Hi, guys, have
a great one.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
It is Monday's for good luck.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Well, there is a section that Michael says, go here
dot com that we don't talk about very much, but
it is a little tab up there, says Michael's murty.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yeah, and if you're gonna send us if we have
one made, and then you're gonna send us a headless
photo of although what good is that, because we want
to plash your mugshot all over the place so you
know they'll know who to come after. They'll leave us alone,
so you don't have a bug boo about free speech. Well,
(29:43):
since Friday, the United Kingdom had an act that's taken effect.
It's called the Online Safety Act. Yeah, it's to keep
you safe. Anytime the government tells me they want to
keep me safe. Scares me anyway. It's being used to
prevent people on x formerly Twitter, from viewing all these
(30:08):
anti mass migration protests footage that's being posted, and excuse me,
even preventing them from listening to parliamentary speeches on the
subject of Muslim rape gangs. This Online Act is preventing
people on Twitter from seeing what Parliaments members of Parliament
(30:32):
are saying, the MP's are saying about the subject of
Muslim rape gangs, which is a huge topic in the
United Kingdom, or from even just watching an anti immigrant
illegal immigrant protests, any footage of that and guests who
put it together. The Tory government, which is the Conservative Party,
(30:57):
they pitched it as a means of shield bilding kids
from porn and other online graphic content. But still the
provisions are now being used shocker a censoring political speech.
So right after the law wenting to affect on Friday,
a bunch of British users shared screenshots of X messages
(31:20):
they had received while trying to access footage of these
anti mess immigration protests. What was important about these protests?
They were sparked by an alleged sexual assault of a
fourteen year old girl by an illegal alien from Ethiopia
in Epping, England. The message they got from X read
(31:41):
as follows quote. Due to local laws, we are temporarily
restricting access to this content until X estimates your age.
Estimate your age what we think you're what we think
you're eighteen, We think you're actually seventeen and a half.
That's supposed enough for us.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
We'll let you go now.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I don't blame X for this. They're simply trying to
figure out a way to comply with the law. Why
because you can. You can face a fine of up
to eighteen million pounds that's about twenty four million dollars
a year, or ten percent of a company's global turnover
for violating the online Safety Act, so they're obviously being
overly cautious. Musk said that the Online Safety Act's purpose
(32:28):
is actually suppression of the people. Yeah, oh yeah, but
it's couch then, oh, we got to protect the kiddies
from porn, which I'm not saying you don't. But if
that's your reason, then why are you blocking other things?
So far, the petition calling for the repeal has more
(32:49):
than one hundred and sixty thousand signatures, which sounds like
a lot, but when you think about the entire population
of the United Kingdom, it's not that much. So now,
guess what is surging, which is for virtual private networks VPNs,
software that will mask or hide your IP address to
stimulate your being in a or to simulate you being
(33:10):
in a in a different country other than the United Kingdom.
Those searches served by more than seven hundred percent on Friday,
because users are trying to bypass the new restrictions. Now,
the incumbent Labor Party, the Liberal Party under Prime Minister
stir Ker Starmer, is now considering what repealing the law
(33:32):
no banning VPNs to prevent them from being used to
bypass the national censorship regulations being imposed in.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
The United Kingdom. It never ends.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
And if you don't think that there isn't somebody by
the name of Oh, I don't know Elizabeth Warren or
AOC or Bernie Sanders, or I don't know Zoran Mundamie
in New York, or for that matter, I don't know
some probably dumbass Republican who's thinking, oh, we need that here, yeah,
all in the name of protecting the children, because it's
(34:05):
always about the children.
