From the horrifying anti-Israel terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, to Target's sudden shift toward patriotism, and Bono's eyebrow-raising comments about USAID on Joe Rogan — nothing is off-limits. Ericka and Jay connect the dots between radical ideology, corporate hypocrisy, and the cultural battle for America’s future.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
My name is Eric Eretick here with the of the
People podcast where with Robert Turnan and Ericarettick. You may notice,
if you're astute, that Robert isn't the one opening the show.
It's me and I have a special guest, mister Jay
the Shepherd. How are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm happy as pie to be here, you know, and
I know that you probably missed. Robert and I didn't
have time to grow any facial hair, but I did
try to get my hair as jure possibly could be,
so that you're more comfortable.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You know, so that I feel, like, you know, at ease,
like the daily how it normally is.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
You know, I appreciate you being thoughtful about that.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Jay.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I am curious though, how happy is pie?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
You know, it depends on the type of pie.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I think that you know, in the South, the key
lime pie makes everybody happy. Yeah up here, you know
apple pie. I mean that's what America is all about. Yep,
you no, mom and apple pie?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That's true, you have that right pie.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
You know, some people prefer cake. I don't know what
you prefer, but I would rather have apple pie than
any type of cake.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I'm really you know, cake is fine, you know to
all our viewers out there who are like, what if
you like cake? Yo, it's it's it's all you but pie.
That's my deal down here in Texas. They got the
peach cobbler, you got the cherry pie, you got the
pecan pie, the can pie. I don't know how you
(01:53):
say it properly, but that's what we're talking about. Ladies
and gentlemen. We are all the way off the rails. Ready, Yes,
this is now a cooking show about pie.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Oh well, this is you know, you're you're very good
at you know, pivoting and all of that. So we
can talk about Elon Musk because I means something different
to him in his engineering and scientific world than it
does to you. And I, I mean three point one
four I don't really know what that's all about. You know,
something about circles or all of that. And you know,
(02:26):
I was actually a math major at one time, and
it was like three point one.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Four, two six and yeah, infinite you.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Can nerd out by how many digits that you could do? Yeah,
and then sit around and laugh about how smart you
are because you know twenty three digits of pie.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Wow, but yet you.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Can't even figure out how to use it and what
the formula is and how it was developed. I just
go with that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well, speaking of Elon Musk, he finally spoke out today
about why he left the Doge team, you know, and
I think anybody who was a stute knew exactly what
that was about. They were trying to say, oh, he's
on drugs. Oh he's on drugs. It's got to be
the drugs, and no, it was the big beautiful bill.
(03:14):
Is also the big bloated bill filled with pork and
nonsense which everyone could see. One point two trillion dollar deficit. Okay,
Jay Jay? The Republican answer me this The age old
criticism of the Republican Party is that they only care
(03:35):
about deficits when they're not in power.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
What say you, Well, I think one of the models,
and I've said it on the mottos of the party
has always been.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
As Republicans, we suck less than the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So what we're really trying to say here is that,
you know, we are better than anyone out that's in
public in public office. So great, but I think you're
looking at a lot of people fighting back, you know,
traditional true conservative Republicans are not happy with the Big
(04:14):
Beautiful Bill. And today the President came out with fifty
reasons why the Big Beautiful Bill is so big and beautiful.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, the most beautiful, the best, most beautiful of all
time ever.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And I and now, as a conservative, I have a
real problem with us kicking the can down the road.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
But the only power.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
One of the things, Erica, is that the only true
power that politicians have is the ability to spend your money.
That's what gives them power, that's what allows them to
get re elected because they can go into each and
every community and say, one, I'm lowering your taxes, here's
here's how I'm doing it. But at the same time,
I'm giving you more than you had before. And so
(05:01):
this Big Beautiful Bill allows them to do that. There
are things in there that are kind of interesting. Being
an old geezer like I am. He talks about, you know,
he's helping the senior citizens.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, well, instead of.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Doing away with taxes on senior citizens, what he's done
is he said, you can deduct four thousand dollars of
your income off your taxes for Social Security that you're receiving.
So Let's say the average person makes twenty five hundred
dollars a month on Social Security. Yep, so that's thirty
(05:34):
thousand dollars a year, So you'll be taxing twenty six
instead of thirty thousand. But here's the kicker. If you're
still working and you're still putting money into the Social
Security system, if you make more than one hundred and
seventy five thousand, you don't get that deduction. So there's
a lot of people who have continually put in money
and they're probably getting for about four thousand dollars a
(05:58):
month in the average I think, which is like seventeen.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Hold on, I need to back up.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Wait, wait, hold on, backup, jay, Let's talk about we're
talking about the wrong thing.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Let's talk about the fact that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
These want to tax me on tax Okay, social Security
and Medicaid is what we paid in, what y'all took
out of my paycheck and stuck in your slush fund,
and then you're giving it back to me.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
How How how is it that then you get.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
To tax me on that?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That that is the conversation we should be having. That
tax is stupid in and of itself.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
The problem here, Eric is you don't understand that you
rich people need to start paying your fair shared about
the amount of taxes you pay.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh my god, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So you live in Texas where they're not going to
take any income tax out of you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I mean, how great can that be?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I mean, you know what though, this is this is
what's funny about it, and that you know, yeah, Texas
doesn't have state income tax, but property taxes are higher.
They still make their money. Like it's oh, it's not
a tax, it's a fee. You know, it's they they
still get you. And then you can't drive anywhere unless
(07:27):
you drive on a toll road, so then you have
to pay for the road that you helped contribute to
pay for. Get it's very dumb, you know it's Texas
is better in a lot of ways, but you know
they're gonna get you somehow.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, don't complain about Texas when you could be living
in the Northeast where property taxes are high. Income taxes
are high, and I'm not we're talking eight point nine
percent info tax. You're talking about one of the highest
property taxes in the country and you're not getting anything
for it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's when I tell people don't believe me, Jay. You know,
Ben and I we do. Okay, you know, we're I wouldn't.
We're not rich. We're probably like middle class or something.
Maybe I don't even know what that means anymore. We're anyway,
we do, okay, We're not rich. Our effective tax rate
the last year that we lived in Vermont was sixty
(08:24):
percent six zero sixty. So imagine if we, as a
couple make one hundred thousand dollars a year, the government
took sixty percent of that in the form of income taxes,
property taxes, state income taxes, et cetera, and so forth.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well, that's because most of that money goes to schools,
and you need to care about the children.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
It's all about the children.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I do.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And one of the things you didn't know about Vermont
is that teachers are the highest paid in the country
in relationship to the median income.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Now, really, let me clarify that little bit. People, teachers
in Chicago make more money than any teachers anywhere, but
the average income in Chicago is much higher than it
is in Vermont. Okay, so in relationship, you're paying teachers
more in Vermont than you are any place. In the
(09:25):
country based on what tax rate the people are paying in.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, so basically they're getting paid more than the average
person who lives in the state. Exactly, I got it.
Okay that that is freaking crazy, and.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Test scores get worse every year.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, here's my I want a prediction from you, Jay
the Shepherd, Jay the Republican Shepherd. Do you think the
Senate is going to cut any of the pork out
of the big beautiful, bloated bill.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
No, they bloated.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
No, And if you were, if you were part of that,
you probably wouldn't do it either when you are threatened
with someone primarying you in the next election when something
that you want within the big beautiful bill is taken out.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So the problem, you know, it's really difficult sometimes to
know the difference between a Democrat and a Republican when
it comes to spending and taxes. And like you said earlier.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
On the show, they make their they have their power
and have their authority by the ability to tax. And
years ago it all changed when they no longer called
it taxes. They called it revenue. And a tax increase
is what revenue in hand.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh wow, wow, wow wow wow.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So I didn't even know we're going to talk about this.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I you know, it wasn't on the schedule. But here's
what I do know.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
If I ever get elected to Congress, I want to
be hated like the likes of Thomas Massey and Rand
Paul and all the libertarians. I'm going to be the
most libertarian of all the libertarian congress people of all time.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Ever, well, you do know some of the libertarians decided
not to run anymore, like in Michigan with a Mash
Is that how you pronounced his name? He was a
libertarian Republican who was primaried because he was more libertarian
than Republican, and so he decided.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Well it's not for him.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And you know you mentioned Rand Paul and Massy. Yeah,
does that mean you're going to be moving to Kentucky? No,
I mean they have cover there, so they've been able
to speak out and do what they want, and both
of them are in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Well, I mean, how many Congress people does Kentucky have.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I believe it's nine, but I'm not sure somebody double
checked that.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
All right, hold on, how men.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
And you can talk about people like Chip Roy.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Oh, yeah, he's great to Texas.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
He's from Texas, and he is fighting very hard. He
fought very hard against the bill and wanted to cut
the deficit.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, oh, it's not giving me the number I want.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Hey, Ben, look up how many House of Representative seats
there are in Kentucky because we might have to move
to Kentucky so I can run as a libertarian like
the other guys.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Okay, you guys, the mouse is away. I'm sorry. I
messed up.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I messed it up so bad.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
The cats away. The mice will play.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You called him a mouse.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That is terrible. I quit.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I quit, you guys, so the mouse I did it again.
The cat is away, So the mice are gonna play.
We're we're we are going to do some reaction videos.
We it's summer, you know, everybody's busy, y'all, and we
thought we would just have a little bit of fun
making fun of some things, showing you the crazyness that's happening.
(13:29):
So just so you guys know, this is Jay. You
haven't watched any of these either, have you?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I might have seen them, Okay, I'm not. I'm not
sure which ones you have and what we're going to
be talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Okay, So this is my first time seeing any of these,
you guys. I wanted this to be like live reactions
in the moment, and all I have is the name
of the video, so I might get myself in some
trouble here, you guys.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
We've got Lord Reddick on deck.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
He's going to be checking in at some point giving
his two cents. And so I'm curious, Ben, Lord Reddick,
do we have an order that we're.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Going in for these? Are they all loaded?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
So I hope it's that you that gets in trouble Erica.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh yeah, you know, I'm going to get in trouble
for sure. Oh wait, hold on, Ben, you were muted.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
No, Jay, you're the adult today, So whatever we do,
it's your fault.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yep, it's definitely your fault. Okay, you guys, hold on,
let me get these set up. Okay, So I'm gonna
in these are again, I was not set up with
any of these. So let's I'm gonna just go by picture,
like least interesting headline picture to most interesting.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Jing There's this book that came out that talks about
Joe Biden and the people around him, seeing that he
had cognitive and physical decline. Did you ever have a
moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit
to run.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
No.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
I thought he was a good president. The only concern
I thought he had to deal with was could anybody
do that job? Until they were eighty six and we
did several long talks, I had never seen him and
walked away thinking he can't do this anymore. He was
always on top of his brief.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
You never saw any cognitive decline.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
So I didn't know anything about any of this, and
I have believe that's all President Biden not very long ago,
and I thought he was in good ship.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I didn't register with me because I never that.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Are we surprised that Bill Clinton doesn't get it?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It depends on what your definition of the word is.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Well.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I think one of the things he just said was
that Joe Biden was on top of his briefs. And
I think anybody that knows about briefs, it's Bill Clinton.
I mean, he got in trouble, all sides of trouble
regarding his briefs when he was president.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
And for Bill Clinton to analyze and actually understand, I mean,
he was probably one of the few people in the
country that could ever have a conversation with Joe Biden
and understand each other.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, this is what I'm saying. This is like, how
old is Bill Clinton? How old is Bill Clinton?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
They're all part of the mumble brigade. They mumble at
each other and they think they just nod their head.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, that's what Joe Biden. Can't hear what Bill Clinton
is saying. Seventy eight, He's only seventy eight. Golly, he
looks war out. I'm sorry, you guys, I'm sorry. Look,
I don't want to judge people and like by age
and because God forbid anybody could say anything.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
About my looks.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But it's just wild to me that these people who
have shown.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Their whole in public.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Are out here being like I am a moral authority
and you should believe what I say, even though the
death count of people that I know is ever increasing,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Wow, America. I want to go officially on the record here.
I know nothing about the Clintons in any relationship past
or president who's with us. I have no knowledge whatsoever,
nor an opinion regarding how things have gone with the
Clintons over the year and their associates.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
No idea.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I've never been to ar Kansas. I don't know how
to spell ar Kansas is the same as Arkansas. Don't know,
because I don't want to get taken out of the game.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
This is a man who's been continuously married to Hillary Clinton. Yeah,
so when we're talking about someone making value judgments on people,
I think we're going to have to pass on Bill
Clinton being authority on anything, especially those who are in
the world of mumbling. And I think you're scared. You know,
(18:35):
you're scaring me a little bit in terms of he
thinks that Joe Biden was a great president and the
only thing he was worried about was once he got
to eighty six. I've been much more worried about the
last forty years with Joe Biden than I have been
with the next.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I mean, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
When everybody knows that people really disliked him and thought
he was a goof back when he was vice president,
I just don't like, you have to presume that people
were not around back then, that they were not paying
attention to politics, and that they'd never heard any of
(19:19):
these stories that now this many years later, now this
is the best Joe Biden has ever been.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
He's cognizant that he's lied and perjured himself. I don't
know why we even care about his opinion. He's a liar.
A good question about he doesn't know what the definition
of is is. I can't Why are we at It's
(19:50):
like talking to John Rule. No one cares what this
man thinks.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Joe, that is the way. What what about John position?
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Hell where he talks about them asking what John Rule
thinks about something going on like in hip hop culture?
And he's like, nobody cares. He's obscure, and John Rule's
not even a liar. Bill Clinton is. It's worse.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And Jake Tapper comes out writes a book so that
he can tell us what he already knew but refused
the report, and how he is now the man we
should go to and trust Jake Tapper because he has
now suddenly decided he's going to tell the truth on
something that we all know he was lying about for
(20:35):
how many years.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
The whole time.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
This is the thing we how again, this is the
proof of the part of the proof of the echo chamber.
And I will cop to the fact that I, you know,
I don't always want to go listen to CNN or
MSNBC and the dumb things that they say. But the
proof of the Democrat echo chamber is that none of
y'all knew because we knew.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Right wing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You know, news outlets were reporting on this stuff and
showing the craziness that was going on. How did you
guys not hear about it?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
What's that saying about people not being able to know
things when their paycheck depends on it?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they knew.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
These are dumb people. He fell down and upstairs he.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Fell off his bike. Bro, do you guys remember that
when he fell off his bite.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I want you to think about that, he fell not
only up but down stairs. Like everybody you have a grandpa,
Yeah you know what this looks like?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it looked like elder abuse.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
But the tough part of it is, though, then, is
that he's always been off. You know, we talked about
off your rocker. I don't know if it's ever been
about his age as much as it's been about who
he is and him not knowing right from wrong, truth
from you know, lies. So Joe Biden follows in the
(22:07):
tradition of Bill Clinton, where it doesn't matter what reality is,
they're going to make you believe their own set of realities.
What's that saying that everybody has a right to their opinion,
but they don't have their right to their own facts.
You can make up an opinion, but you can't make
up facts. And both Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe
(22:32):
Biden had their own set of facts that are not
hitched to reality.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Barack Obama just took it straight right.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
There was no you remember that, Remember that congressional what
was it? Was it a State of the Union address
where somebody called him a liar and he got and
he had to apologize and he got what is the
what is it called when you get in trouble in
congress centure? They said he was censured. He had to
(23:03):
write and do a public apology from the floor. And
you know what, he was a liar. He was an
absolute liar.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Nobody got to keep their doctor. It was a it
was a lie.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I mean he did say it would be live on
Sea Span and it would be super you know, visible
to everyone involved.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
And a congressional censure involves they had this giant whiteboard
and you have to write across it ten times. I
will not lie again. I will tell the truth. My
mother says, I am a good boy, but I will
try to be better. So they've got these I don't know,
(23:46):
have you been to Congress lately.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
No.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
One of the offices have this big whiteboard where they
have to when I get censured, they have to write up.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh my god, I thought you were joking. Jay, Are
you being serious right now?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I was like, what, dude, I.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Am really have your own camera?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Wow, I am so blond. Okay, we're moving on to
the next video now.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I can't help it. Jay, you're so deadpan. I can't
tell when you're joking.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Okay, would rather I was dead than deadpan.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
No, that is not even true. You shut your your
face whole with that. Okay. This one is bono money laundering.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
That's what it's called.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay what.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
It's not proven, but there's surveillance enough suggests three hundred
thousand people have already died from just this cut off,
this hard cut of us AI d so, this food
rotting in boats and warehouses, there is this this this
will will fuck you off. This will you will not
(25:03):
be happy, no American will. But there is and he
has fifty thousand tons of food that are stored in Chibouti,
South Africa, Dubai and wait for it, Houston, Texas. And
that is a rotting rather than going to Gaza, rather
than going to Sudan because the people who roads are
(25:28):
for the warehouse are fired.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Can you stop me here for a minute so.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
This, Please tell me there's an end to this.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Okay, So three hundred thousand people and he starts off
by saying it's not proven, but it's believing. So Bono
Bono Bono. I preferred Sonny Bono to Bono. I think
Sonny was a better singer, and at least Sonny had share.
(25:58):
I don't know who he has.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
He gets YouTube the guy. I mean, how can it
be YouTube when it's just him? But anyhow, the other
question I have about this is that he says three
hundred thousand people have been killed that have died. There's
no proof of this, and he says that at the
beginning it's not proven. But what I'm going to do
(26:21):
because I had five or six hit songs back before
most Americans were born, and I am the great white
Irish hope and I'm going to save the world. So
I'm going to make up facts on my own. I'm
just going to throw something out there and say three
hundred thousand. I bet he doesn't know a dabooty from
(26:42):
a Beyonce. He starts talking about, you know, these warehouses
and dabooty, and.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It's all I'm saying, like, where is this information coming from?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
From his dabooty?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
This out for Beyonce?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Here is wait, okay, okay, wait what comes next?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
What comes next?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
What do you think? What is?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
What is that?
Speaker 9 (27:09):
That's no American?
Speaker 10 (27:11):
Also, they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater, right,
this is the problem. The problem is, for sure, there
have been a lot of organizations that do tremendous good
all throughout the world. Also, for sure it was a
money laundering operation. For sure, there was no oversight. For sure,
billions of dollars are missing. In fact, trillions that are
(27:33):
unaccounted for that were sent off into various rook they
don't even know where because there's no receipts. The way
Elon must describe that, he said, if any of this
was done by a public company, the company would be
delisted and the executives be in prison. But in the
United States, it's a standard. When Biden left office when
(27:56):
it was clear that Trump won in the seventy three days,
they at ninety three billion dollars dollars from the Department
of Energy.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yep on Yeah, so okay, So basically, Joe Rogan destroys
Bono is what this should be titled.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Yes, but he failed to call him out on making
up his own numbers. Three hundred thousand people have died.
So yeah, Joe is doing a good job here, but
apparently he doesn't want to offend his guests. Yeah, and
you know, hopefully that me being a guest on this show,
(28:33):
you're not gonna you're gonna allow me to say things
that aren't true without correct.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I love it when you say things that aren't sure.
You just did, and I totally fell for it as
if it was facts.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I'm just not gonna co sign it. I'm like, h
have to look that up and we're gonna keep rolling. Yeah, yeah, right,
But here's the thing, even if everything he just said
was true, So tell me when we have multiple even
in Austin, I've been to events, we have multiple children who,
if they don't go to school, probably won't eat because
(29:06):
they rely on school lunch. So we have children here
who have a hard time eating. Right. We have veterans here,
homeless here, all these people who need food right in America.
So if you tell me it's a shame that people
(29:26):
in Djibouti don't eat, Sure, do I think it's my
responsibility more than the people in America who don't eat. No,
I'm sorry, that's an unreasonable stance to take.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, you know, I think it's You're going to get
in a lot of trouble for that, Lord Reddick. Yeah,
the same way jd.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Vance who said the same thing that you know, we
might want to take care of our family first, then
our neighbors, then our community, and then when we get
around to the rest of the world.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
We'll see how we can help. Yeah. He took a
lot of heat for that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, but that is the general That is how most
Americans feel. If you see, you know, if I drive
around my neighborhood and I see poverty, you want I
do not care more. It's not that I don't care.
I believe every human being is worthy of dignity and
(30:27):
is valued and is a child of God.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
But I'm going to want.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
To take care of the people closest to me first.
And the idea that you would take that you would
steal money out of my pocket because hashtag taxes are theft,
that you would steal money from me to give it
for gender studies in Pakistan or whatever the other crap
is that doj un covered. It's it's just an unreasonable
(30:57):
ask of the American people.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
That's well.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Well, one of the other issues that I have, quite honestly,
is someone like Bono who talked about three hundred thousand people.
So if the guy is worth a hundred million dollars, okay, yeah,
he does a lot for charity. You know, it's not
easy having your own jet and all those kind of
things to go around to hand out food products the
(31:21):
third world countries.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I mean, you know, let's understand that it's not an
easy task for him.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yeah, but if he would have given the cost of
food one hundred dollars for each of those three hundred
thousand people, I think you're talking three million dollars out
of his own pocket, that he could have probably saved
all those people. Instead of asking people who are barely
getting by in the United States that are being taxed
(31:47):
and are sending their money to DC to we have
it money.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Laundered yep, exactly.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
You know, step up, you know it's okay. Try living
on forty thousand dollars a year bono and put the
rest of the money somewhere else in the world. I
think you'd be contributing a lot more than you making
up opinions. You're making up facts to support an opinion
that somebody else gave you.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Ye amen, all right, enough of that stupid nonsense. I
also just really, I have a aversion to listening to
anybody with a foreign accent tell me how America ought
to be.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Ooh, I'm not going to I'm going to be Joe
Rogan on this one, and I'm not going to say
that's okay because my in laws are first generation Americans.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I mean, my wife's the first generation American and her
parents came over here and they had an accent.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, And if they came over here and they were
a bunch of commies, I would say the same thing
about them too.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Whoa wow, retribution headed your way.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I told you, Jay, Jay's going to be the adults
in the room. Something embarrassing with what we're saying.
Speaker 11 (33:09):
I just can't say it say that because I do
not agree with that a lot of wonderful people in
this country that have an accent that have contributed greatly to.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
This and they're great, and those people are great, and
they probably wouldn't say this stupid. No, God, you missed
the point.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
You missed the point of what was saying. You haven't
earned the right, being brand new here to tell me
how we're supposed to do it here. That's the element.
And if I went to went to Mexico and they
had an you got that wrong? Was I got feelings
(33:51):
about how they do it? They're but I'm not getting
on TV to tell them that they're wrong. They need
to listen to Benjamin about how to live their life.
I'm gonna be like, man, I don't really think this
is the best way to do it, but hey, man,
live your life out here.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
So your ethnocentrism on this is a little bit overwhelming
and a little bit tough for me. If someone's been
in this country for forty years, paying taxes, contributing to
society and they still have an Irish accent, or they
have a Mexican accent or whatever, and they've contributed to
this country for forty years, yeah, I think what you're
(34:28):
talking about is somebody who came over here two years
on a certain visa that overstayed their visa.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
So I just want to make sure that.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
We correct functioning in integrated citizens No, if you want
to come over here and say that that that.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
You disagree with the Constitution, you don't deserve citizenship. I'll
say it, Okay, you're supposed to You are supposed to
pledge allegiance or whatever the crap to.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
The Constitution and the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Not say that the federal government gets to have deficit
budgets and just.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Steal your money.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And if you I don't care if Americans think that,
I think you shouldn't get to have an opinion either,
because you're also rock.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Everyone has a right to an opinion, they do not
have the rights to their own facts.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
And I think this is a great time to go
to a commercial.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
So all right, ladies and gentlemen, let's throw one of
our our sponsors under the bus. Who should it be?
American Center for Education and Knowledge. Ladies and gentlemen, go
check out their marchhold on. Let's share the page. You guys,
we got some great merch Uh.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Would they want to be affiliated with us after this?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Probably not they're gonna be like Eric is fired. She's
no longer co hosting the show. Go check out. Go
check out the website and the work that is being
done by the fellows over at ASIK. We've got some
great merch hats. This is actually a really nice sweatshirt,
(36:11):
you guys. We got one of these for Ben. It's
it's a really nice sweatshirt. And yeah, find a bunch
of writing from doctor Bruce Abramson, who's like one of
my favorites. Everyone thinks he's boring. I think he's great,
but maybe it's because I'm a nerd. I don't know
you guys, So let's hear from our sponsor. It's true.
(36:32):
I shouldn't say everyone, no, you should just Robert and Day.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, go check out acikfund dot
org and buy some stuff. Yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Think if this show ever disappears in the next few months,
you're gonna blame it on this episode.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
If this show blows up, I'm taking credit.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Okay, So just for the record, I.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
Want to clarify. Yeah, when I when I'm talking about
stuff like what we were talking about with accents, I'm thinking
like Greta Thunberg. Yeah, like people like that.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, I'm not talking about like your mom or your
grandma or whatever. I'm talking about foreigners, like actual foreigners
who are you know, not Americans like America ought to
do this America.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
It's like.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I think if we just clarify and saying non American citizens, yeah, correct,
If you've been here.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
For quite a while, then you should be applying for
citizenship obviously. And if you don't want to bother to
be a citizen, then you don't. If you don't have
the right to vote, you don't have the right to talk.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
That is how you say in a sentence that doesn't
sound xenophobic.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Wait did I use the word right?
Speaker 5 (37:55):
I can't be did that?
Speaker 1 (37:58):
What's the word?
Speaker 2 (38:00):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
When?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
What is it? A bigot can't be called a bigot? There,
we'll just use it. We'll use a seventy five cent
word instead of a dollar twenty.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
Five Cenophobic is having or showing a dislike or prejudice
against people from other countries. Okay, I can't be that
because I'm bluck.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Black people can't be racist or bigots or xenophobic. It's
the law that's the law. Okay, So Ben, I'm gonna
let you pick the next one.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Jay is so embarrassed right now, He's like, why did I.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Agree to do this?
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Okay? Now we didn't pick these topics Maria.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
So for that, all of this is Maria's fault. I'm
taking no personal responsibility. Street one, the sesame street one weird. Okay,
so we're gonna watch some kind of sesame street. All
I see is sesame street.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Vac.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
Don't say what I say. It's wonderful to actually see
all of you. Oh.
Speaker 12 (38:51):
Also sounds and looks like you and your families have
been staying healthy.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Oh this is all I have a.
Speaker 13 (38:57):
Way I've been staying healthy.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
Don't stand jail.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Look oh rust of Oh oh this is from.
Speaker 13 (39:07):
My COVID vaccine. My mommy and my puppy took me
to get it this morning. Is this My mommy and
my puppy said that it will help keep me, my friends,
my neighbors, my umbrella all healthy.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Your parents are absolutely right, you know.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
COVID vaccines are now available for children.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Save your ladies, gentlemen, And the more people who get
this for you too, the better we're going to be
able to help stop the spread of COVID.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Doesn't understand what's happen?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Why? Okay, wait, hold on a second, wait wait wait,
wait wait wait wait past past pause, past pause. Okay,
you guys have to help me with something. I okay,
I was I did not watch Muppets, Okay, so I
don't have a frame of reference for this. Did the
Muppets used to have polit Paul did? They used to
(40:02):
like take positions on political things like this back in
the day.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
One of the big things of separating the Muppets from
Sesame Street. So the Muppets are Jim Henson, and he
provided as characters on public television. And I think what
I'm gleaning out of this is that right now the
president has decided that he's going to try to well
(40:30):
not just defund Planned Parenthood, but defund public broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Yes, So it's their motto has always been if we
don't do it, who would?
Speaker 5 (40:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:40):
And my model has always been, if you don't do it,
it doesn't need to be It didn't need to be
done in the first place. So why are you taking
my tax dollars to put on programming that they're rich
and the elite can just contribute on their own and
if it was worthwhile programming could find plenty of sponsors
for it, same as this show has sponsors because it
has great quality within it for the both part, at
(41:05):
least for the Laubert's here. But I think it's an
example of the propaganda and the liberalism that public broadcasting
has been using for a number of years, and from
the beginning of time they have taken your tax dollars
to use it against your views and your feelings, so
(41:25):
that they could spread lies in propaganda to not just children,
but to adults as well, and make it seem like
it's the news. It's unfortunate, and I support the President
of one on this that it is time that if
it's probing worthwhile, they will find the revenue outside of
government to support it.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Did I ever cutil television? Does?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (41:50):
Jay?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Did I ever tell you that public radio is part
of why I became a conservative?
Speaker 4 (41:58):
You might want to refresh me and so so.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Ladies and gentlemen, I used to be a card carrying
NPR member. Okay, I have the tote bags and mugs
to prove it. I literally kept them on purpose because
I was like, I want evidence that I was a
little at one point, so I I was a contributing
member of Vermont Public Radio.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
And then here in Texas.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I don't remember what the Texas one is, but then
there's the ones in La. I mean, I was, I was,
I was in right. And then there was one day
we were living in Los Angeles at the time, and
I was driving up the one oh one or something.
It was one of those highways that has tons of traffic,
(42:43):
and on the radio was a report about how Donald
Trump was such a racist and how there was no
crisis at the southern border. This was back in twenty
fifteen or twenty sixteen. Uh, when he had he was
either running or he had already won, and oh, there's
no crisis at the border and he's just a racist.
(43:04):
And uh, my niece's boyfriend was a Border Patrol agent
in South Texas at the time, and he had been
telling us horror stories on the from the border for years,
I mean awful, like the cartel has run our southern
border for a very long time. And when I heard
them saying that, I started I started going fake news,
(43:29):
fake news, fake news.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I was like, I was screaming at my radio. And
then I went I said, fake news. Oh my god,
what is happening right now?
Speaker 2 (43:40):
And it like it shattered my worldview because I was
listening to a radio program that I trusted, that I
had listened to for years straight up lie to the
American people, and it was and it was over from there,
it like, and then it all just started unravel. That's
(44:00):
when I found the very fine people hoax and the
grab them by the hoax and all of the other
things that they said he said and did and how
it was all awful. And I was like, oh, none
of this is real. Yep, none of this is real.
You guys are all liars. And I'm not saying you
(44:22):
know that. I was like immediately a Trump supporter after that,
But once I realized that I was being propagandized too,
it changed everything. And that's why, you know, that's a
big reason why I consider myself a libertarian slash Republican now,
(44:43):
because I just want the government to be as small
as possible. You don't deserve any of my money, you
don't deserve any of my neighbor's money. You know, these
people are not smart enough to make decisions for you.
Ladies and gentlemen, do not give them that much power.
Speaker 7 (44:58):
Do not?
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Okay, so I went on a really long rant there.
Does anybody want to say anything before we go into
the next step.
Speaker 7 (45:09):
No.
Speaker 3 (45:09):
One of the things I suggest, though, is you find
yourself a lawyer. You ask for your money back from
MPR because they were they were giving fraudulent statements to
you that convince you that they actually had their own
facts rather.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
Than their own opinions.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
And you know that's kind of the theme of this
show for me, is that you can have your own opinions,
but you don't have the right to your own facts.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
Yea facts, truth is truth and liberal's life.
Speaker 5 (45:38):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Amen. That should be on a shirt. Waw that should
be on a shirt now.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
My only other question is do you have to run
in the I don't have the program works exactly. Do
you have to run more ads before people start tuning out?
Because I mean, you want to make sure, you want
to make sure you get all that in before people
say these people are.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Crazy, people are terrible, these people are terrible. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
Should we do another ad break?
Speaker 4 (46:04):
Have we ever been solid? You already called an income poop?
Speaker 2 (46:07):
An income poop? Have I ever been called one?
Speaker 4 (46:10):
Probably that term anymore. I miss it.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, let's bring it back. Nincom poop. It's just it's
a lot of syllables.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
It's a lot of syllables.
Speaker 5 (46:21):
You have a newsom's n incam poop.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
Newsome nincum poop new some ningcampoop an income poop ningammoo
ningam poop.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Okay, we're moving on.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
This one says Pride Month, satanic something. This also looks old.
Speaker 14 (46:40):
Second a couple of days into Pride Month, we are
here at our local Target in Tampa, Florida, where we
went thermonuclear viral last year by exposing these satanic groomer
display targeted at children in this location. There was a
major backlash at the time, and Target ended up actually
removing a lot of these items from their floor in
(47:03):
a humiliation for the entire brand. But we're back to
tech and see what kind of.
Speaker 5 (47:08):
A display they have this year.
Speaker 12 (47:09):
Since so much has changed culturally, will they still be
on the groomer satan, gender bending, trans timeline versut Target
going to change the first to interesting reports.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
Let's go find out you have fireworks. It's a good start,
and then.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
What is right advertisement.
Speaker 12 (47:33):
Of the store is a hostal classics American Summer display
featuring this family.
Speaker 4 (47:42):
Impressive, right, this is remarkable.
Speaker 12 (47:45):
I can't believe it's real. This was where the degenerate
groomer display was last year, and now it's been replaced
by a father and a son wearing patriotic ensemble. This
is crazy. Red white, and blue star spangled banner. Gone
are the satanic items, and are the American flag vintage
(48:10):
threads and now.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Wow, Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, something like a bunch of
a bunch of corporations decided to opt out of all
the pride propaganda.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
This year, save for the likes of the.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
MLB Levi's, so few others still have some pride stuff up.
Don't buy Levi's jeans, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
There's still there's still ten Major League Baseball teams that
have not talked about what their priory events are going
to be this year. Yeah, I know, thirty two of
twenty two that have prior events.
Speaker 7 (48:54):
You know.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
I also, I've always wondered why people thought it was
a good idea to have a parade for one of
the have and deadly sins.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Pride is one of the deadly sins. I have a
little bit of a different opinion on all of this.
I think if a professional baseball team wants to have
a Pride month, go for it.
Speaker 4 (49:15):
Target wants to have a Satan section, go for it. Uh.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
Everyone has the right as an independent business not to
be controlled by the government. So they have full this
is it's capitalism, and.
Speaker 4 (49:28):
You have the right, correct. You certainly have the right
to be.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Wrong in America, and so I think people hopefully they
learn from this and they understand that there is a
market for all of these woke products and woke things
that they have, but it is not mainstream. If you
want to have a little niche product and you want
to have a store that's completely caters to fringe groups
(49:53):
or WoT groups or whatever group that you want, go
for it. But I think what this video shows is
that when the American people get together and people are
no longer representing their views from a retail point of view,
that they go elsewhere and it bites them.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
You know, bud Light is actually making a bit of
a comeback.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
They're trying to They've hired a lot of who we
would consider mainstream Americans, you know, Peyton Manning and some
others to do their ads for them and they completely switch.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
But Americans have long memories.
Speaker 8 (50:33):
Yeah, well, and I think you know, it's one thing
to offer something like online and have, like you said,
have some small thing that is available, but to make
it your whole marketing campaign.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
I think I actually heard Michael Noles say this best
to be honest with you, I hadn't even realized it
was Pride month, you know, Pride month, because it hasn't
been in your face this this year, and so I saw, yeah,
oh yeah, yes, correct. We live in good old hometown, Texas,
(51:14):
so we I mean, anyway, I was gonna say something else,
but so I saw a video from Michael Knowles today,
who I don't always watch, but one of the things
that he said was, oh now, to waited too long? Now,
I'm now I waited too long now. I don't remember
what the heck I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
Anyway, he was talking about it.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
I guess thirty nine percent of the businesses that were
surveyed said that they didn't do it because of pressure
from consumers. So you know that stuff works. These things work.
Speaker 5 (51:53):
Here's the thing. There's a lot of people in America
who'll be fine if you even if you did the
whole month and the whole story's rainbows for thirty days.
The problem, I think, from what I've seen, is it's fatigue. Yes,
because it's literally it's in every movie, every commercial, everywhere,
(52:17):
Like I've watched things. Oh I love this character, blah
blah blah. Well we're gonna tell the same story. We're
gonna remake it. The only difference is this character is
now LGBTQ. Yeah, And you're like, well, that doesn't make
it a different story. Yeah, that's not worth retelling. And
so when you're inundated with an agenda all day long,
(52:39):
every day, you're just tired and just like, I don't
really want to do this. And then when you're targeting
thing hah, targeting things towards children, now it takes on
a different flavor. And then when those things are now satanic,
Now I got a boycott, Yeah, we got a we
(53:00):
got to do.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Something about Well, and apparently, for the first time in
Gallop Pole history, support for the gay community has gone down.
Speaker 5 (53:09):
How could it? It was probably at its peak last year.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Well, and that's the whole thing. It's it's you know,
people are talking about black fatigue. It's the it's gay fatigue.
People are just we don't care. The whole point was,
don't remember this. Remember back in the day when the
whole thing was what do you care about what I
do in my bedroom? And now what you do in
your bedroom is on a freaking float in a parade.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
Yeah, this is what I was trying. This is what
I remembered.
Speaker 2 (53:38):
Michael Noles said that corporations have finally figured out that
online is not real life. You know that Twitter is
not real life, and that most of the American people
are not online and they are not on Twitter and
they don't want your stupid nonsense.
Speaker 5 (53:52):
Well, a lot of them are trying to capture this
additional demographic and so your forsake your primary demographic to
chase this extra two to five percent of whatever. Yep,
And it has not worked out well because you assumed
these people would be fine and wouldn't leave you, and
(54:14):
they were like, no, I don't like what you're doing.
I'm going to go a different direction.
Speaker 4 (54:19):
You're absolutely right to risk.
Speaker 3 (54:22):
To risk ninety eight percent of your business to gain
two percent is not a good business plan. And I
just want to correct you Eric a little bit about
online stuff.
Speaker 4 (54:32):
Not being real with the exception of this show. Yes, yes,
I just want to clarify that.
Speaker 2 (54:39):
Thank you admonish me. We need an admonish button you have.
Speaker 5 (54:43):
Do you have some comments, Erica? We do Rush Howard? Yes?
Speaker 2 (54:47):
Oh what is mister Howard doing? When is the straight
Pride parade you guys are putting together?
Speaker 5 (54:53):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (54:53):
You said you were doing it. I've been waiting on you.
Speaker 2 (54:57):
When I was when to slee I went to sleep
one day. When I woke up, everyone was gay or treads.
It's like the Fano snap. Everybody turns gay instead of disappears.
Speaker 1 (55:13):
I love Josh, Josh, Bro. How are you? I miss
you guys.
Speaker 2 (55:18):
I miss my friends from Vermont sometimes I miss you guys.
Speaker 5 (55:21):
Gotta comes up.
Speaker 2 (55:23):
Yeah, Josh, When how about you have that straight Pride
parade and we'll come have a float in it. I
will get out some of the float materials that we
have left from the campaign. We'll do it.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
Okay, do we have time for one last one? I
don't want to say the name of the video.
Speaker 5 (55:40):
Don't say it.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
I'm not gonna say the.
Speaker 2 (55:42):
Name of the video. Okay, hold on, I'm gonna get
rid of these things, okay, Okay, hang on here? Oh
where will they go? Wait? Hold on?
Speaker 5 (55:54):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (55:54):
How come? No here?
Speaker 4 (55:57):
We can't? Who are not my god?
Speaker 5 (56:00):
Not here?
Speaker 2 (56:06):
What is happening?
Speaker 3 (56:09):
This is the guy in Denver with the Molotov cocktails
alcohol where he burned people.
Speaker 4 (56:15):
He's making.
Speaker 5 (56:18):
Do they not have gods? But we can't do?
Speaker 4 (56:23):
When he's got molotop talk feels he got right here.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
What is he yelling?
Speaker 5 (56:34):
I think that's it?
Speaker 2 (56:35):
He can't what is he saying?
Speaker 3 (56:40):
He is yelling pro Palestine things with uh. He's an Egyptian.
Speaker 4 (56:49):
That came here two years ago on a student visa
or a few years ago on a student visa.
Speaker 1 (56:56):
This is that story, and never left.
Speaker 3 (56:59):
And he ended up burning many people. He had I
think he had a dozen and a half Molotov cocktails
that he was going to throw at the pro Israel demonstrators.
Speaker 4 (57:11):
Wow, and he only used two of them, and he
burnt five or six people.
Speaker 3 (57:17):
And he's the reason that a lot of people need
when their visa expires.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
They need to leave, they need to be gone.
Speaker 4 (57:25):
He obviously is not a student.
Speaker 3 (57:27):
His daughter is a very good student, and who they
came over here so she could figure out a way
of going to med school.
Speaker 4 (57:34):
And those kind of things.
Speaker 1 (57:36):
Wow, But.
Speaker 3 (57:39):
And we need to take a look at student visas
and how they're abused and what they mean and the
whole thing with you know, with twenty seven twenty seven
percent of Harvard students are here yep, for reasons we're
not sure of be educated, so they go back to
their country and you know, be anti American and those
(58:00):
kind of things. So it's a real example of what
is wrong with the visa program in this country and
why so many people are allowed to overstay their visa
without retribution.
Speaker 2 (58:13):
This is the Trump administration just revoked a bunch of
visas for a bunch of Chinese folks.
Speaker 1 (58:19):
Is that isn't that right?
Speaker 2 (58:21):
I don't know the number, but I heard it in
passing today, Ben, can you look that up.
Speaker 3 (58:26):
One of the things they've done is there was a
parole program that Joe Biden put into place, and it
allowed people from four different countries to come.
Speaker 4 (58:35):
To the US for two years.
Speaker 3 (58:37):
And it was very specific that they could come to
the United States for two years and then would have
to leave, and that they were not renewable. So there's
a lot of people who five hundred thousand people that
came to the country regarding.
Speaker 1 (58:51):
That five thousand.
Speaker 3 (58:54):
And now, when many of them did not go back
after two years, Homeland Security is going after them, saying, hey,
you understood the program. You agreed to come here for
two years and then leave, and you haven't left on
your own.
Speaker 4 (59:09):
And so they're having difficulty tracking those people down.
Speaker 2 (59:13):
So these aren't This is the thing that a lot
of people forget that the illegal immigration is not just
a problem of crossing the border illegally. It is the
millions of people who come here annually on student visas,
on work visas and just never leave. They just never leave.
Speaker 4 (59:32):
I need to stay corrected.
Speaker 3 (59:33):
The person in Denver came here on a tourist visa
never left, so he brought he came over with his
family on a tourist visa and never left. Now he's
killing American citizens and doing what he can, yelling pro
palace stini and slogans and trying to kill people at
(59:57):
support Israel.
Speaker 5 (59:58):
Again. I go back to the conversation we had earlier.
You are not an American. Go home and yo whatever
you want to and hit whoever you want to with fireballs.
Don't do that here, right. I'm surprised he made it
out of their lives, just being honest with you.
Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I mean, that's that is the where evidence that that
was not Texas because somebody would have shot his ass.
Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
And you know, it's another one of those things where
his soft targets. If you, if you, if you believe
in what you believe, go back join him, ass, put
a uniform on.
Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
That's fright. Don't be killing.
Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
You know you're not a man.
Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
You're a coward, that's right.
Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
I don't like I don't like bullies in any like version.
I don't like women that hit men knowing the man
can't hit you back. That's bullying. I don't like bigger
mint people. Men abusing women who can't beat them. That's bullying.
(01:01:07):
Men abusing men who they know don't want to fight,
abuse stuff like this. People are unprepared for the combat.
And now you want to show up with Molotov cocktails, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Yes, because he was not able because he wasn't a
citizen to buy a gun. Wow, so his first goal
was to go and buy a gun. But because he
wasn't a citizen.
Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
Wait, what justice he's so he's like, like, was the guy,
Oh hey, that's Colorado? Father cold?
Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
You know, just like they said about the guy that
got deported to El Salvador. Wow, Josh, this is why
you're awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
You guys must have a great following, because I'm surprised
that anyone's listening this long to.
Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
So when we immediately went off the rails talking about
five or five minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
I'm guessing that you guys, you know, really have a
faithful following.
Speaker 5 (01:02:11):
And I don't know, I think it just goes more
off the rails the longer it goes. Yeah, that when
people really tune in, Yeah, because we're gonna get ourselves
in trouble.
Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
One of the most fun times we ever had was
when we were on a road trip and we just
live streamed for like three hours, just like delirious at
like five in the morning, after staying up driving through
the night.
Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, Uh, since we
ended with such a downer, I think it's important to
actually close with a word from our other sponsor, Israel
Appreciation Day. You know, it's you know, hard for me
to believe in twenty twenty five that we have to
(01:02:58):
be having a conversation about why Israel has the right
to exist, But Unfortunately we're here ladies and gentlemen, and
that's why I.
Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
A D exists.
Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
They are sharing the message of why Israel is important, uh,
what they do, what they offer to the world, and
and why everybody should be a Zionist. So we're going
to close with that. Anything, h Jay, share with the
everybody where they can find you on the socials.
Speaker 4 (01:03:28):
Uh, it's best to find me in the socials. So
they don't want to have anybody find me in public.
So the best the best place is probably on X
and I am Jay the Shepherd one which you can
see on your screen and if you're listening, it's j
A Y the Shepherd with one P.
Speaker 2 (01:03:47):

last name wrong. Sometimes I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
Hey, I do math, not English.
Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Okay, that's okay, That's all I'm saying. But in any case, Jay,
anything else you want to say before we get close
for the day, Lord Reddick, any last words, final words?
Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
No, I appreciate you having me on. I hope that
I didn't harm your brand too much. But it was
a real enjoyable time and the hourum went by pretty fast.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
My name is Eric Eretick here with the of the
People podcast where with Robert Turnan and Ericarettick. You may notice,
if you're astute, that Robert isn't the one opening the show.
It's me and I have a special guest, mister Jay
the Shepherd. How are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm happy as pie to be here, you know, and
I know that you probably missed. Robert and I didn't
have time to grow any facial hair, but I did
try to get my hair as jure possibly could be,
so that you're more comfortable.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You know, so that I feel, like, you know, at ease,
like the daily how it normally is.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
You know, I appreciate you being thoughtful about that.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Jay.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I am curious though, how happy is pie?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
You know, it depends on the type of pie.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I think that you know, in the South, the key
lime pie makes everybody happy. Yeah up here, you know
apple pie. I mean that's what America is all about. Yep,
you no, mom and apple pie?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That's true, you have that right pie.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
You know, some people prefer cake. I don't know what
you prefer, but I would rather have apple pie than
any type of cake.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I'm really you know, cake is fine, you know to
all our viewers out there who are like, what if
you like cake? Yo, it's it's it's all you but pie.
That's my deal down here in Texas. They got the
peach cobbler, you got the cherry pie, you got the
pecan pie, the can pie. I don't know how you
(01:53):
say it properly, but that's what we're talking about. Ladies
and gentlemen. We are all the way off the rails. Ready, Yes,
this is now a cooking show about pie.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Oh well, this is you know, you're you're very good
at you know, pivoting and all of that. So we
can talk about Elon Musk because I means something different
to him in his engineering and scientific world than it
does to you. And I, I mean three point one
four I don't really know what that's all about. You know,
something about circles or all of that. And you know,
(02:26):
I was actually a math major at one time, and
it was like three point one.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Four, two six and yeah, infinite you.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Can nerd out by how many digits that you could do? Yeah,
and then sit around and laugh about how smart you
are because you know twenty three digits of pie.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Wow, but yet you.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Can't even figure out how to use it and what
the formula is and how it was developed. I just
go with that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well, speaking of Elon Musk, he finally spoke out today
about why he left the Doge team, you know, and
I think anybody who was a stute knew exactly what
that was about. They were trying to say, oh, he's
on drugs. Oh he's on drugs. It's got to be
the drugs, and no, it was the big beautiful bill.
(03:14):
Is also the big bloated bill filled with pork and
nonsense which everyone could see. One point two trillion dollar deficit. Okay,
Jay Jay? The Republican answer me this The age old
criticism of the Republican Party is that they only care
(03:35):
about deficits when they're not in power.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
What say you, Well, I think one of the models,
and I've said it on the mottos of the party
has always been.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
As Republicans, we suck less than the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So what we're really trying to say here is that,
you know, we are better than anyone out that's in
public in public office. So great, but I think you're
looking at a lot of people fighting back, you know,
traditional true conservative Republicans are not happy with the Big
(04:14):
Beautiful Bill. And today the President came out with fifty
reasons why the Big Beautiful Bill is so big and beautiful.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, the most beautiful, the best, most beautiful of all
time ever.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And I and now, as a conservative, I have a
real problem with us kicking the can down the road.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
But the only power.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
One of the things, Erica, is that the only true
power that politicians have is the ability to spend your money.
That's what gives them power, that's what allows them to
get re elected because they can go into each and
every community and say, one, I'm lowering your taxes, here's
here's how I'm doing it. But at the same time,
I'm giving you more than you had before. And so
(05:01):
this Big Beautiful Bill allows them to do that. There
are things in there that are kind of interesting. Being
an old geezer like I am. He talks about, you know,
he's helping the senior citizens.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, well, instead of.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Doing away with taxes on senior citizens, what he's done
is he said, you can deduct four thousand dollars of
your income off your taxes for Social Security that you're receiving.
So Let's say the average person makes twenty five hundred
dollars a month on Social Security. Yep, so that's thirty
(05:34):
thousand dollars a year, So you'll be taxing twenty six
instead of thirty thousand. But here's the kicker. If you're
still working and you're still putting money into the Social
Security system, if you make more than one hundred and
seventy five thousand, you don't get that deduction. So there's
a lot of people who have continually put in money
and they're probably getting for about four thousand dollars a
(05:58):
month in the average I think, which is like seventeen.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Hold on, I need to back up.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Wait, wait, hold on, backup, jay, Let's talk about we're
talking about the wrong thing.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Let's talk about the fact that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
These want to tax me on tax Okay, social Security
and Medicaid is what we paid in, what y'all took
out of my paycheck and stuck in your slush fund,
and then you're giving it back to me.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
How How how is it that then you get.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
To tax me on that?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
That that is the conversation we should be having. That
tax is stupid in and of itself.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
The problem here, Eric is you don't understand that you
rich people need to start paying your fair shared about
the amount of taxes you pay.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh my god, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So you live in Texas where they're not going to
take any income tax out of you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I mean, how great can that be?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I mean, you know what though, this is this is
what's funny about it, and that you know, yeah, Texas
doesn't have state income tax, but property taxes are higher.
They still make their money. Like it's oh, it's not
a tax, it's a fee. You know, it's they they
still get you. And then you can't drive anywhere unless
(07:27):
you drive on a toll road, so then you have
to pay for the road that you helped contribute to
pay for. Get it's very dumb, you know it's Texas
is better in a lot of ways, but you know
they're gonna get you somehow.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, don't complain about Texas when you could be living
in the Northeast where property taxes are high. Income taxes
are high, and I'm not we're talking eight point nine
percent info tax. You're talking about one of the highest
property taxes in the country and you're not getting anything
for it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's when I tell people don't believe me, Jay. You know,
Ben and I we do. Okay, you know, we're I wouldn't.
We're not rich. We're probably like middle class or something.
Maybe I don't even know what that means anymore. We're anyway,
we do, okay, We're not rich. Our effective tax rate
the last year that we lived in Vermont was sixty
(08:24):
percent six zero sixty. So imagine if we, as a
couple make one hundred thousand dollars a year, the government
took sixty percent of that in the form of income taxes,
property taxes, state income taxes, et cetera, and so forth.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well, that's because most of that money goes to schools,
and you need to care about the children.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
It's all about the children.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I do.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And one of the things you didn't know about Vermont
is that teachers are the highest paid in the country
in relationship to the median income.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Now, really, let me clarify that little bit. People, teachers
in Chicago make more money than any teachers anywhere, but
the average income in Chicago is much higher than it
is in Vermont. Okay, so in relationship, you're paying teachers
more in Vermont than you are any place. In the
(09:25):
country based on what tax rate the people are paying in.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, so basically they're getting paid more than the average
person who lives in the state. Exactly, I got it.
Okay that that is freaking crazy, and.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Test scores get worse every year.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, here's my I want a prediction from you, Jay
the Shepherd, Jay the Republican Shepherd. Do you think the
Senate is going to cut any of the pork out
of the big beautiful, bloated bill.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
No, they bloated.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
No, And if you were, if you were part of that,
you probably wouldn't do it either when you are threatened
with someone primarying you in the next election when something
that you want within the big beautiful bill is taken out.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So the problem, you know, it's really difficult sometimes to
know the difference between a Democrat and a Republican when
it comes to spending and taxes. And like you said earlier.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
On the show, they make their they have their power
and have their authority by the ability to tax. And
years ago it all changed when they no longer called
it taxes. They called it revenue. And a tax increase
is what revenue in hand.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh wow, wow, wow wow wow.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So I didn't even know we're going to talk about this.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I you know, it wasn't on the schedule. But here's
what I do know.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
If I ever get elected to Congress, I want to
be hated like the likes of Thomas Massey and Rand
Paul and all the libertarians. I'm going to be the
most libertarian of all the libertarian congress people of all time.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Ever, well, you do know some of the libertarians decided
not to run anymore, like in Michigan with a Mash
Is that how you pronounced his name? He was a
libertarian Republican who was primaried because he was more libertarian
than Republican, and so he decided.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Well it's not for him.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And you know you mentioned Rand Paul and Massy. Yeah,
does that mean you're going to be moving to Kentucky? No,
I mean they have cover there, so they've been able
to speak out and do what they want, and both
of them are in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Well, I mean, how many Congress people does Kentucky have.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I believe it's nine, but I'm not sure somebody double
checked that.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
All right, hold on, how men.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
And you can talk about people like Chip Roy.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Oh, yeah, he's great to Texas.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
He's from Texas, and he is fighting very hard. He
fought very hard against the bill and wanted to cut
the deficit.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, oh, it's not giving me the number I want.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Hey, Ben, look up how many House of Representative seats
there are in Kentucky because we might have to move
to Kentucky so I can run as a libertarian like
the other guys.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Okay, you guys, the mouse is away. I'm sorry. I
messed up.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I messed it up so bad.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
The cats away. The mice will play.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You called him a mouse.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That is terrible. I quit.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I quit, you guys, so the mouse I did it again.
The cat is away, So the mice are gonna play.
We're we're we are going to do some reaction videos.
We it's summer, you know, everybody's busy, y'all, and we
thought we would just have a little bit of fun
making fun of some things, showing you the crazyness that's happening.
(13:29):
So just so you guys know, this is Jay. You
haven't watched any of these either, have you?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I might have seen them, Okay, I'm not. I'm not
sure which ones you have and what we're going to
be talking about.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Okay, So this is my first time seeing any of these,
you guys. I wanted this to be like live reactions
in the moment, and all I have is the name
of the video, so I might get myself in some
trouble here, you guys.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
We've got Lord Reddick on deck.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
He's going to be checking in at some point giving
his two cents. And so I'm curious, Ben, Lord Reddick,
do we have an order that we're.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Going in for these? Are they all loaded?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
So I hope it's that you that gets in trouble Erica.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh yeah, you know, I'm going to get in trouble
for sure. Oh wait, hold on, Ben, you were muted.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
No, Jay, you're the adult today, So whatever we do,
it's your fault.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yep, it's definitely your fault. Okay, you guys, hold on,
let me get these set up. Okay, So I'm gonna
in these are again, I was not set up with
any of these. So let's I'm gonna just go by picture,
like least interesting headline picture to most interesting.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Jing There's this book that came out that talks about
Joe Biden and the people around him, seeing that he
had cognitive and physical decline. Did you ever have a
moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit
to run.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
No.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
I thought he was a good president. The only concern
I thought he had to deal with was could anybody
do that job? Until they were eighty six and we
did several long talks, I had never seen him and
walked away thinking he can't do this anymore. He was
always on top of his brief.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
You never saw any cognitive decline.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
So I didn't know anything about any of this, and
I have believe that's all President Biden not very long ago,
and I thought he was in good ship.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I didn't register with me because I never that.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Are we surprised that Bill Clinton doesn't get it?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It depends on what your definition of the word is.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Well.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I think one of the things he just said was
that Joe Biden was on top of his briefs. And
I think anybody that knows about briefs, it's Bill Clinton.
I mean, he got in trouble, all sides of trouble
regarding his briefs when he was president.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
And for Bill Clinton to analyze and actually understand, I mean,
he was probably one of the few people in the
country that could ever have a conversation with Joe Biden
and understand each other.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, this is what I'm saying. This is like, how
old is Bill Clinton? How old is Bill Clinton?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
They're all part of the mumble brigade. They mumble at
each other and they think they just nod their head.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, that's what Joe Biden. Can't hear what Bill Clinton
is saying. Seventy eight, He's only seventy eight. Golly, he
looks war out. I'm sorry, you guys, I'm sorry. Look,
I don't want to judge people and like by age
and because God forbid anybody could say anything.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
About my looks.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But it's just wild to me that these people who
have shown.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Their whole in public.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Are out here being like I am a moral authority
and you should believe what I say, even though the
death count of people that I know is ever increasing,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Wow, America. I want to go officially on the record here.
I know nothing about the Clintons in any relationship past
or president who's with us. I have no knowledge whatsoever,
nor an opinion regarding how things have gone with the
Clintons over the year and their associates.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
No idea.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
I've never been to ar Kansas. I don't know how
to spell ar Kansas is the same as Arkansas. Don't know,
because I don't want to get taken out of the game.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
This is a man who's been continuously married to Hillary Clinton. Yeah,
so when we're talking about someone making value judgments on people,
I think we're going to have to pass on Bill
Clinton being authority on anything, especially those who are in
the world of mumbling. And I think you're scared. You know,
(18:35):
you're scaring me a little bit in terms of he
thinks that Joe Biden was a great president and the
only thing he was worried about was once he got
to eighty six. I've been much more worried about the
last forty years with Joe Biden than I have been
with the next.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I mean, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
When everybody knows that people really disliked him and thought
he was a goof back when he was vice president,
I just don't like, you have to presume that people
were not around back then, that they were not paying
attention to politics, and that they'd never heard any of
(19:19):
these stories that now this many years later, now this
is the best Joe Biden has ever been.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
He's cognizant that he's lied and perjured himself. I don't
know why we even care about his opinion. He's a liar.
A good question about he doesn't know what the definition
of is is. I can't Why are we at It's
(19:50):
like talking to John Rule. No one cares what this
man thinks.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Joe, that is the way. What what about John position?
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Hell where he talks about them asking what John Rule
thinks about something going on like in hip hop culture?
And he's like, nobody cares. He's obscure, and John Rule's
not even a liar. Bill Clinton is. It's worse.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And Jake Tapper comes out writes a book so that
he can tell us what he already knew but refused
the report, and how he is now the man we
should go to and trust Jake Tapper because he has
now suddenly decided he's going to tell the truth on
something that we all know he was lying about for
(20:35):
how many years.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
The whole time.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
This is the thing we how again, this is the
proof of the part of the proof of the echo chamber.
And I will cop to the fact that I, you know,
I don't always want to go listen to CNN or
MSNBC and the dumb things that they say. But the
proof of the Democrat echo chamber is that none of
y'all knew because we knew.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Right wing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You know, news outlets were reporting on this stuff and
showing the craziness that was going on. How did you
guys not hear about it?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
What's that saying about people not being able to know
things when their paycheck depends on it?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they knew.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
These are dumb people. He fell down and upstairs he.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Fell off his bike. Bro, do you guys remember that
when he fell off his bite.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I want you to think about that, he fell not
only up but down stairs. Like everybody you have a grandpa,
Yeah you know what this looks like?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it looked like elder abuse.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
But the tough part of it is, though, then, is
that he's always been off. You know, we talked about
off your rocker. I don't know if it's ever been
about his age as much as it's been about who
he is and him not knowing right from wrong, truth
from you know, lies. So Joe Biden follows in the
(22:07):
tradition of Bill Clinton, where it doesn't matter what reality is,
they're going to make you believe their own set of realities.
What's that saying that everybody has a right to their opinion,
but they don't have their right to their own facts.
You can make up an opinion, but you can't make
up facts. And both Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe
(22:32):
Biden had their own set of facts that are not
hitched to reality.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Barack Obama just took it straight right.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
There was no you remember that, Remember that congressional what
was it? Was it a State of the Union address
where somebody called him a liar and he got and
he had to apologize and he got what is the
what is it called when you get in trouble in
congress centure? They said he was censured. He had to
(23:03):
write and do a public apology from the floor. And
you know what, he was a liar. He was an
absolute liar.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Nobody got to keep their doctor. It was a it
was a lie.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I mean he did say it would be live on
Sea Span and it would be super you know, visible
to everyone involved.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
And a congressional censure involves they had this giant whiteboard
and you have to write across it ten times. I
will not lie again. I will tell the truth. My
mother says, I am a good boy, but I will
try to be better. So they've got these I don't know,
(23:46):
have you been to Congress lately.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
No.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
One of the offices have this big whiteboard where they
have to when I get censured, they have to write up.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh my god, I thought you were joking. Jay, Are
you being serious right now?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I was like, what, dude, I.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Am really have your own camera?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Wow, I am so blond. Okay, we're moving on to
the next video now.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I can't help it. Jay, you're so deadpan. I can't
tell when you're joking.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Okay, would rather I was dead than deadpan.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
No, that is not even true. You shut your your
face whole with that. Okay. This one is bono money laundering.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
That's what it's called.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay what.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
It's not proven, but there's surveillance enough suggests three hundred
thousand people have already died from just this cut off,
this hard cut of us AI d so, this food
rotting in boats and warehouses, there is this this this
will will fuck you off. This will you will not
(25:03):
be happy, no American will. But there is and he
has fifty thousand tons of food that are stored in Chibouti,
South Africa, Dubai and wait for it, Houston, Texas. And
that is a rotting rather than going to Gaza, rather
than going to Sudan because the people who roads are
(25:28):
for the warehouse are fired.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Can you stop me here for a minute so.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
This, Please tell me there's an end to this.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Okay, So three hundred thousand people and he starts off
by saying it's not proven, but it's believing. So Bono
Bono Bono. I preferred Sonny Bono to Bono. I think
Sonny was a better singer, and at least Sonny had share.
(25:58):
I don't know who he has.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
He gets YouTube the guy. I mean, how can it
be YouTube when it's just him? But anyhow, the other
question I have about this is that he says three
hundred thousand people have been killed that have died. There's
no proof of this, and he says that at the
beginning it's not proven. But what I'm going to do
(26:21):
because I had five or six hit songs back before
most Americans were born, and I am the great white
Irish hope and I'm going to save the world. So
I'm going to make up facts on my own. I'm
just going to throw something out there and say three
hundred thousand. I bet he doesn't know a dabooty from
(26:42):
a Beyonce. He starts talking about, you know, these warehouses
and dabooty, and.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It's all I'm saying, like, where is this information coming from?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
From his dabooty?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
This out for Beyonce?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Here is wait, okay, okay, wait what comes next?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
What comes next?
Speaker 5 (27:05):
What do you think? What is?
Speaker 4 (27:08):
What is that?
Speaker 9 (27:09):
That's no American?
Speaker 10 (27:11):
Also, they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater, right,
this is the problem. The problem is, for sure, there
have been a lot of organizations that do tremendous good
all throughout the world. Also, for sure it was a
money laundering operation. For sure, there was no oversight. For sure,
billions of dollars are missing. In fact, trillions that are
(27:33):
unaccounted for that were sent off into various rook they
don't even know where because there's no receipts. The way
Elon must describe that, he said, if any of this
was done by a public company, the company would be
delisted and the executives be in prison. But in the
United States, it's a standard. When Biden left office when
(27:56):
it was clear that Trump won in the seventy three days,
they at ninety three billion dollars dollars from the Department
of Energy.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yep on Yeah, so okay, So basically, Joe Rogan destroys
Bono is what this should be titled.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Yes, but he failed to call him out on making
up his own numbers. Three hundred thousand people have died.
So yeah, Joe is doing a good job here, but
apparently he doesn't want to offend his guests. Yeah, and
you know, hopefully that me being a guest on this show,
(28:33):
you're not gonna you're gonna allow me to say things
that aren't true without correct.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I love it when you say things that aren't sure.
You just did, and I totally fell for it as
if it was facts.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I'm just not gonna co sign it. I'm like, h
have to look that up and we're gonna keep rolling. Yeah, yeah, right,
But here's the thing, even if everything he just said
was true, So tell me when we have multiple even
in Austin, I've been to events, we have multiple children who,
if they don't go to school, probably won't eat because
(29:06):
they rely on school lunch. So we have children here
who have a hard time eating. Right. We have veterans here,
homeless here, all these people who need food right in America.
So if you tell me it's a shame that people
(29:26):
in Djibouti don't eat, Sure, do I think it's my
responsibility more than the people in America who don't eat. No,
I'm sorry, that's an unreasonable stance to take.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, you know, I think it's You're going to get
in a lot of trouble for that, Lord Reddick. Yeah,
the same way jd.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Vance who said the same thing that you know, we
might want to take care of our family first, then
our neighbors, then our community, and then when we get
around to the rest of the world.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
We'll see how we can help. Yeah. He took a
lot of heat for that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, but that is the general That is how most
Americans feel. If you see, you know, if I drive
around my neighborhood and I see poverty, you want I
do not care more. It's not that I don't care.
I believe every human being is worthy of dignity and
(30:27):
is valued and is a child of God.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
But I'm going to want.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
To take care of the people closest to me first.
And the idea that you would take that you would
steal money out of my pocket because hashtag taxes are theft,
that you would steal money from me to give it
for gender studies in Pakistan or whatever the other crap
is that doj un covered. It's it's just an unreasonable
(30:57):
ask of the American people.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
That's well.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Well, one of the other issues that I have, quite honestly,
is someone like Bono who talked about three hundred thousand people.
So if the guy is worth a hundred million dollars, okay, yeah,
he does a lot for charity. You know, it's not
easy having your own jet and all those kind of
things to go around to hand out food products the
(31:21):
third world countries.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I mean, you know, let's understand that it's not an
easy task for him.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yeah, but if he would have given the cost of
food one hundred dollars for each of those three hundred
thousand people, I think you're talking three million dollars out
of his own pocket, that he could have probably saved
all those people. Instead of asking people who are barely
getting by in the United States that are being taxed
(31:47):
and are sending their money to DC to we have
it money.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Laundered yep, exactly.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
You know, step up, you know it's okay. Try living
on forty thousand dollars a year bono and put the
rest of the money somewhere else in the world. I
think you'd be contributing a lot more than you making
up opinions. You're making up facts to support an opinion
that somebody else gave you.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Ye amen, all right, enough of that stupid nonsense. I
also just really, I have a aversion to listening to
anybody with a foreign accent tell me how America ought
to be.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Ooh, I'm not going to I'm going to be Joe
Rogan on this one, and I'm not going to say
that's okay because my in laws are first generation Americans.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I mean, my wife's the first generation American and her
parents came over here and they had an accent.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, And if they came over here and they were
a bunch of commies, I would say the same thing
about them too.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Whoa wow, retribution headed your way.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I told you, Jay, Jay's going to be the adults
in the room. Something embarrassing with what we're saying.
Speaker 11 (33:09):
I just can't say it say that because I do
not agree with that a lot of wonderful people in
this country that have an accent that have contributed greatly to.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
This and they're great, and those people are great, and
they probably wouldn't say this stupid. No, God, you missed
the point.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
You missed the point of what was saying. You haven't
earned the right, being brand new here to tell me
how we're supposed to do it here. That's the element.
And if I went to went to Mexico and they
had an you got that wrong? Was I got feelings
(33:51):
about how they do it? They're but I'm not getting
on TV to tell them that they're wrong. They need
to listen to Benjamin about how to live their life.
I'm gonna be like, man, I don't really think this
is the best way to do it, but hey, man,
live your life out here.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
So your ethnocentrism on this is a little bit overwhelming
and a little bit tough for me. If someone's been
in this country for forty years, paying taxes, contributing to
society and they still have an Irish accent, or they
have a Mexican accent or whatever, and they've contributed to
this country for forty years, yeah, I think what you're
(34:28):
talking about is somebody who came over here two years
on a certain visa that overstayed their visa.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
So I just want to make sure that.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
We correct functioning in integrated citizens No, if you want
to come over here and say that that that.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
You disagree with the Constitution, you don't deserve citizenship. I'll
say it, Okay, you're supposed to You are supposed to
pledge allegiance or whatever the crap to.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
The Constitution and the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Not say that the federal government gets to have deficit
budgets and just.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Steal your money.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And if you I don't care if Americans think that,
I think you shouldn't get to have an opinion either,
because you're also rock.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Everyone has a right to an opinion, they do not
have the rights to their own facts.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
And I think this is a great time to go
to a commercial.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
So all right, ladies and gentlemen, let's throw one of
our our sponsors under the bus. Who should it be?
American Center for Education and Knowledge. Ladies and gentlemen, go
check out their marchhold on. Let's share the page. You guys,
we got some great merch Uh.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Would they want to be affiliated with us after this?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Probably not they're gonna be like Eric is fired. She's
no longer co hosting the show. Go check out. Go
check out the website and the work that is being
done by the fellows over at ASIK. We've got some
great merch hats. This is actually a really nice sweatshirt,
(36:11):
you guys. We got one of these for Ben. It's
it's a really nice sweatshirt. And yeah, find a bunch
of writing from doctor Bruce Abramson, who's like one of
my favorites. Everyone thinks he's boring. I think he's great,
but maybe it's because I'm a nerd. I don't know
you guys, So let's hear from our sponsor. It's true.
(36:32):
I shouldn't say everyone, no, you should just Robert and Day.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, go check out acikfund dot
org and buy some stuff. Yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Think if this show ever disappears in the next few months,
you're gonna blame it on this episode.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
If this show blows up, I'm taking credit.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Okay, So just for the record, I.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
Want to clarify. Yeah, when I when I'm talking about
stuff like what we were talking about with accents, I'm thinking
like Greta Thunberg. Yeah, like people like that.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, I'm not talking about like your mom or your
grandma or whatever. I'm talking about foreigners, like actual foreigners
who are you know, not Americans like America ought to
do this America.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
It's like.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I think if we just clarify and saying non American citizens, yeah, correct,
If you've been here.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
For quite a while, then you should be applying for
citizenship obviously. And if you don't want to bother to
be a citizen, then you don't. If you don't have
the right to vote, you don't have the right to talk.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
That is how you say in a sentence that doesn't
sound xenophobic.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Wait did I use the word right?
Speaker 5 (37:55):
I can't be did that?
Speaker 1 (37:58):
What's the word?
Speaker 2 (38:00):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
When?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
What is it? A bigot can't be called a bigot? There,
we'll just use it. We'll use a seventy five cent
word instead of a dollar twenty.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
Five Cenophobic is having or showing a dislike or prejudice
against people from other countries. Okay, I can't be that
because I'm bluck.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Black people can't be racist or bigots or xenophobic. It's
the law that's the law. Okay, So Ben, I'm gonna
let you pick the next one.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Jay is so embarrassed right now, He's like, why did I.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Agree to do this?
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Okay? Now we didn't pick these topics Maria.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
So for that, all of this is Maria's fault. I'm
taking no personal responsibility. Street one, the sesame street one weird. Okay,
so we're gonna watch some kind of sesame street. All
I see is sesame street.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Vac.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
Don't say what I say. It's wonderful to actually see
all of you. Oh.
Speaker 12 (38:51):
Also sounds and looks like you and your families have
been staying healthy.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Oh this is all I have a.
Speaker 13 (38:57):
Way I've been staying healthy.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
Don't stand jail.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Look oh rust of Oh oh this is from.
Speaker 13 (39:07):
My COVID vaccine. My mommy and my puppy took me
to get it this morning. Is this My mommy and
my puppy said that it will help keep me, my friends,
my neighbors, my umbrella all healthy.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Your parents are absolutely right, you know.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
COVID vaccines are now available for children.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Save your ladies, gentlemen, And the more people who get
this for you too, the better we're going to be
able to help stop the spread of COVID.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Doesn't understand what's happen?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Why? Okay, wait, hold on a second, wait wait wait,
wait wait wait wait past past pause, past pause. Okay,
you guys have to help me with something. I okay,
I was I did not watch Muppets, Okay, so I
don't have a frame of reference for this. Did the
Muppets used to have polit Paul did? They used to
(40:02):
like take positions on political things like this back in
the day.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
One of the big things of separating the Muppets from
Sesame Street. So the Muppets are Jim Henson, and he
provided as characters on public television. And I think what
I'm gleaning out of this is that right now the
president has decided that he's going to try to well
(40:30):
not just defund Planned Parenthood, but defund public broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Yes, So it's their motto has always been if we
don't do it, who would?
Speaker 5 (40:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:40):
And my model has always been, if you don't do it,
it doesn't need to be It didn't need to be
done in the first place. So why are you taking
my tax dollars to put on programming that they're rich
and the elite can just contribute on their own and
if it was worthwhile programming could find plenty of sponsors
for it, same as this show has sponsors because it
has great quality within it for the both part, at
(41:05):
least for the Laubert's here. But I think it's an
example of the propaganda and the liberalism that public broadcasting
has been using for a number of years, and from
the beginning of time they have taken your tax dollars
to use it against your views and your feelings, so
(41:25):
that they could spread lies in propaganda to not just children,
but to adults as well, and make it seem like
it's the news. It's unfortunate, and I support the President
of one on this that it is time that if
it's probing worthwhile, they will find the revenue outside of
government to support it.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Did I ever cutil television? Does?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (41:50):
Jay?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Did I ever tell you that public radio is part
of why I became a conservative?
Speaker 4 (41:58):
You might want to refresh me and so so.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Ladies and gentlemen, I used to be a card carrying
NPR member. Okay, I have the tote bags and mugs
to prove it. I literally kept them on purpose because
I was like, I want evidence that I was a
little at one point, so I I was a contributing
member of Vermont Public Radio.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
And then here in Texas.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I don't remember what the Texas one is, but then
there's the ones in La. I mean, I was, I was,
I was in right. And then there was one day
we were living in Los Angeles at the time, and
I was driving up the one oh one or something.
It was one of those highways that has tons of traffic,
(42:43):
and on the radio was a report about how Donald
Trump was such a racist and how there was no
crisis at the southern border. This was back in twenty
fifteen or twenty sixteen. Uh, when he had he was
either running or he had already won, and oh, there's
no crisis at the border and he's just a racist.
(43:04):
And uh, my niece's boyfriend was a Border Patrol agent
in South Texas at the time, and he had been
telling us horror stories on the from the border for years,
I mean awful, like the cartel has run our southern
border for a very long time. And when I heard
them saying that, I started I started going fake news,
(43:29):
fake news, fake news.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I was like, I was screaming at my radio. And
then I went I said, fake news. Oh my god,
what is happening right now?
Speaker 2 (43:40):
And it like it shattered my worldview because I was
listening to a radio program that I trusted, that I
had listened to for years straight up lie to the
American people, and it was and it was over from there,
it like, and then it all just started unravel. That's
(44:00):
when I found the very fine people hoax and the
grab them by the hoax and all of the other
things that they said he said and did and how
it was all awful. And I was like, oh, none
of this is real. Yep, none of this is real.
You guys are all liars. And I'm not saying you
(44:22):
know that. I was like immediately a Trump supporter after that,
But once I realized that I was being propagandized too,
it changed everything. And that's why, you know, that's a
big reason why I consider myself a libertarian slash Republican now,
(44:43):
because I just want the government to be as small
as possible. You don't deserve any of my money, you
don't deserve any of my neighbor's money. You know, these
people are not smart enough to make decisions for you.
Ladies and gentlemen, do not give them that much power.
Speaker 7 (44:58):
Do not?
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Okay, so I went on a really long rant there.
Does anybody want to say anything before we go into
the next step.
Speaker 7 (45:09):
No.
Speaker 3 (45:09):
One of the things I suggest, though, is you find
yourself a lawyer. You ask for your money back from
MPR because they were they were giving fraudulent statements to
you that convince you that they actually had their own
facts rather.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
Than their own opinions.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
And you know that's kind of the theme of this
show for me, is that you can have your own opinions,
but you don't have the right to your own facts.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
Yea facts, truth is truth and liberal's life.
Speaker 5 (45:38):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Amen. That should be on a shirt. Waw that should
be on a shirt now.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
My only other question is do you have to run
in the I don't have the program works exactly. Do
you have to run more ads before people start tuning out?
Because I mean, you want to make sure, you want
to make sure you get all that in before people
say these people are.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Crazy, people are terrible, these people are terrible. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
Should we do another ad break?
Speaker 4 (46:04):
Have we ever been solid? You already called an income poop?
Speaker 2 (46:07):
An income poop? Have I ever been called one?
Speaker 4 (46:10):
Probably that term anymore. I miss it.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, let's bring it back. Nincom poop. It's just it's
a lot of syllables.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
It's a lot of syllables.
Speaker 5 (46:21):
You have a newsom's n incam poop.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
Newsome nincum poop new some ningcampoop an income poop ningammoo
ningam poop.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Okay, we're moving on.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
This one says Pride Month, satanic something. This also looks old.
Speaker 14 (46:40):
Second a couple of days into Pride Month, we are
here at our local Target in Tampa, Florida, where we
went thermonuclear viral last year by exposing these satanic groomer
display targeted at children in this location. There was a
major backlash at the time, and Target ended up actually
removing a lot of these items from their floor in
(47:03):
a humiliation for the entire brand. But we're back to
tech and see what kind of.
Speaker 5 (47:08):
A display they have this year.
Speaker 12 (47:09):
Since so much has changed culturally, will they still be
on the groomer satan, gender bending, trans timeline versut Target
going to change the first to interesting reports.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
Let's go find out you have fireworks. It's a good start,
and then.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
What is right advertisement.
Speaker 12 (47:33):
Of the store is a hostal classics American Summer display
featuring this family.
Speaker 4 (47:42):
Impressive, right, this is remarkable.
Speaker 12 (47:45):
I can't believe it's real. This was where the degenerate
groomer display was last year, and now it's been replaced
by a father and a son wearing patriotic ensemble. This
is crazy. Red white, and blue star spangled banner. Gone
are the satanic items, and are the American flag vintage
(48:10):
threads and now.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Wow, Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, something like a bunch of
a bunch of corporations decided to opt out of all
the pride propaganda.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
This year, save for the likes of the.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
MLB Levi's, so few others still have some pride stuff up.
Don't buy Levi's jeans, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
There's still there's still ten Major League Baseball teams that
have not talked about what their priory events are going
to be this year. Yeah, I know, thirty two of
twenty two that have prior events.
Speaker 7 (48:54):
You know.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
I also, I've always wondered why people thought it was
a good idea to have a parade for one of
the have and deadly sins.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Pride is one of the deadly sins. I have a
little bit of a different opinion on all of this.
I think if a professional baseball team wants to have
a Pride month, go for it.
Speaker 4 (49:15):
Target wants to have a Satan section, go for it. Uh.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
Everyone has the right as an independent business not to
be controlled by the government. So they have full this
is it's capitalism, and.
Speaker 4 (49:28):
You have the right, correct. You certainly have the right
to be.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Wrong in America, and so I think people hopefully they
learn from this and they understand that there is a
market for all of these woke products and woke things
that they have, but it is not mainstream. If you
want to have a little niche product and you want
to have a store that's completely caters to fringe groups
(49:53):
or WoT groups or whatever group that you want, go
for it. But I think what this video shows is
that when the American people get together and people are
no longer representing their views from a retail point of view,
that they go elsewhere and it bites them.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
You know, bud Light is actually making a bit of
a comeback.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
They're trying to They've hired a lot of who we
would consider mainstream Americans, you know, Peyton Manning and some
others to do their ads for them and they completely switch.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
But Americans have long memories.
Speaker 8 (50:33):
Yeah, well, and I think you know, it's one thing
to offer something like online and have, like you said,
have some small thing that is available, but to make
it your whole marketing campaign.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
I think I actually heard Michael Noles say this best
to be honest with you, I hadn't even realized it
was Pride month, you know, Pride month, because it hasn't
been in your face this this year, and so I saw, yeah,
oh yeah, yes, correct. We live in good old hometown, Texas,
(51:14):
so we I mean, anyway, I was gonna say something else,
but so I saw a video from Michael Knowles today,
who I don't always watch, but one of the things
that he said was, oh now, to waited too long? Now,
I'm now I waited too long now. I don't remember
what the heck I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
Anyway, he was talking about it.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
I guess thirty nine percent of the businesses that were
surveyed said that they didn't do it because of pressure
from consumers. So you know that stuff works. These things work.
Speaker 5 (51:53):
Here's the thing. There's a lot of people in America
who'll be fine if you even if you did the
whole month and the whole story's rainbows for thirty days.
The problem, I think, from what I've seen, is it's fatigue. Yes,
because it's literally it's in every movie, every commercial, everywhere,
(52:17):
Like I've watched things. Oh I love this character, blah
blah blah. Well we're gonna tell the same story. We're
gonna remake it. The only difference is this character is
now LGBTQ. Yeah, And you're like, well, that doesn't make
it a different story. Yeah, that's not worth retelling. And
so when you're inundated with an agenda all day long,
(52:39):
every day, you're just tired and just like, I don't
really want to do this. And then when you're targeting
thing hah, targeting things towards children, now it takes on
a different flavor. And then when those things are now satanic,
Now I got a boycott, Yeah, we got a we
(53:00):
got to do.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Something about Well, and apparently, for the first time in
Gallop Pole history, support for the gay community has gone down.
Speaker 5 (53:09):
How could it? It was probably at its peak last year.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Well, and that's the whole thing. It's it's you know,
people are talking about black fatigue. It's the it's gay fatigue.
People are just we don't care. The whole point was,
don't remember this. Remember back in the day when the
whole thing was what do you care about what I
do in my bedroom? And now what you do in
your bedroom is on a freaking float in a parade.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
Yeah, this is what I was trying. This is what
I remembered.
Speaker 2 (53:38):
Michael Noles said that corporations have finally figured out that
online is not real life. You know that Twitter is
not real life, and that most of the American people
are not online and they are not on Twitter and
they don't want your stupid nonsense.
Speaker 5 (53:52):
Well, a lot of them are trying to capture this
additional demographic and so your forsake your primary demographic to
chase this extra two to five percent of whatever. Yep,
And it has not worked out well because you assumed
these people would be fine and wouldn't leave you, and
(54:14):
they were like, no, I don't like what you're doing.
I'm going to go a different direction.
Speaker 4 (54:19):
You're absolutely right to risk.
Speaker 3 (54:22):
To risk ninety eight percent of your business to gain
two percent is not a good business plan. And I
just want to correct you Eric a little bit about
online stuff.
Speaker 4 (54:32):
Not being real with the exception of this show. Yes, yes,
I just want to clarify that.
Speaker 2 (54:39):
Thank you admonish me. We need an admonish button you have.
Speaker 5 (54:43):
Do you have some comments, Erica? We do Rush Howard? Yes?
Speaker 2 (54:47):
Oh what is mister Howard doing? When is the straight
Pride parade you guys are putting together?
Speaker 5 (54:53):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (54:53):
You said you were doing it. I've been waiting on you.
Speaker 2 (54:57):
When I was when to slee I went to sleep
one day. When I woke up, everyone was gay or treads.
It's like the Fano snap. Everybody turns gay instead of disappears.
Speaker 1 (55:13):
I love Josh, Josh, Bro. How are you? I miss
you guys.
Speaker 2 (55:18):
I miss my friends from Vermont sometimes I miss you guys.
Speaker 5 (55:21):
Gotta comes up.
Speaker 2 (55:23):
Yeah, Josh, When how about you have that straight Pride
parade and we'll come have a float in it. I
will get out some of the float materials that we
have left from the campaign. We'll do it.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
Okay, do we have time for one last one? I
don't want to say the name of the video.
Speaker 5 (55:40):
Don't say it.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
I'm not gonna say the.
Speaker 2 (55:42):
Name of the video. Okay, hold on, I'm gonna get
rid of these things, okay, Okay, hang on here? Oh
where will they go? Wait? Hold on?
Speaker 5 (55:54):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (55:54):
How come? No here?
Speaker 4 (55:57):
We can't? Who are not my god?
Speaker 5 (56:00):
Not here?
Speaker 2 (56:06):
What is happening?
Speaker 3 (56:09):
This is the guy in Denver with the Molotov cocktails
alcohol where he burned people.
Speaker 4 (56:15):
He's making.
Speaker 5 (56:18):
Do they not have gods? But we can't do?
Speaker 4 (56:23):
When he's got molotop talk feels he got right here.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
What is he yelling?
Speaker 5 (56:34):
I think that's it?
Speaker 2 (56:35):
He can't what is he saying?
Speaker 3 (56:40):
He is yelling pro Palestine things with uh. He's an Egyptian.
Speaker 4 (56:49):
That came here two years ago on a student visa
or a few years ago on a student visa.
Speaker 1 (56:56):
This is that story, and never left.
Speaker 3 (56:59):
And he ended up burning many people. He had I
think he had a dozen and a half Molotov cocktails
that he was going to throw at the pro Israel demonstrators.
Speaker 4 (57:11):
Wow, and he only used two of them, and he
burnt five or six people.
Speaker 3 (57:17):
And he's the reason that a lot of people need
when their visa expires.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
They need to leave, they need to be gone.
Speaker 4 (57:25):
He obviously is not a student.
Speaker 3 (57:27):
His daughter is a very good student, and who they
came over here so she could figure out a way
of going to med school.
Speaker 4 (57:34):
And those kind of things.
Speaker 1 (57:36):
Wow, But.
Speaker 3 (57:39):
And we need to take a look at student visas
and how they're abused and what they mean and the
whole thing with you know, with twenty seven twenty seven
percent of Harvard students are here yep, for reasons we're
not sure of be educated, so they go back to
their country and you know, be anti American and those
(58:00):
kind of things. So it's a real example of what
is wrong with the visa program in this country and
why so many people are allowed to overstay their visa
without retribution.
Speaker 2 (58:13):
This is the Trump administration just revoked a bunch of
visas for a bunch of Chinese folks.
Speaker 1 (58:19):
Is that isn't that right?
Speaker 2 (58:21):
I don't know the number, but I heard it in
passing today, Ben, can you look that up.
Speaker 3 (58:26):
One of the things they've done is there was a
parole program that Joe Biden put into place, and it
allowed people from four different countries to come.
Speaker 4 (58:35):
To the US for two years.
Speaker 3 (58:37):
And it was very specific that they could come to
the United States for two years and then would have
to leave, and that they were not renewable. So there's
a lot of people who five hundred thousand people that
came to the country regarding.
Speaker 1 (58:51):
That five thousand.
Speaker 3 (58:54):
And now, when many of them did not go back
after two years, Homeland Security is going after them, saying, hey,
you understood the program. You agreed to come here for
two years and then leave, and you haven't left on
your own.
Speaker 4 (59:09):
And so they're having difficulty tracking those people down.
Speaker 2 (59:13):
So these aren't This is the thing that a lot
of people forget that the illegal immigration is not just
a problem of crossing the border illegally. It is the
millions of people who come here annually on student visas,
on work visas and just never leave. They just never leave.
Speaker 4 (59:32):
I need to stay corrected.
Speaker 3 (59:33):
The person in Denver came here on a tourist visa
never left, so he brought he came over with his
family on a tourist visa and never left. Now he's
killing American citizens and doing what he can, yelling pro
palace stini and slogans and trying to kill people at
(59:57):
support Israel.
Speaker 5 (59:58):
Again. I go back to the conversation we had earlier.
You are not an American. Go home and yo whatever
you want to and hit whoever you want to with fireballs.
Don't do that here, right. I'm surprised he made it
out of their lives, just being honest with you.
Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I mean, that's that is the where evidence that that
was not Texas because somebody would have shot his ass.
Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
And you know, it's another one of those things where
his soft targets. If you, if you, if you believe
in what you believe, go back join him, ass, put
a uniform on.
Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
That's fright. Don't be killing.
Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
You know you're not a man.
Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
You're a coward, that's right.
Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
I don't like I don't like bullies in any like version.
I don't like women that hit men knowing the man
can't hit you back. That's bullying. I don't like bigger
mint people. Men abusing women who can't beat them. That's bullying.
(01:01:07):
Men abusing men who they know don't want to fight,
abuse stuff like this. People are unprepared for the combat.
And now you want to show up with Molotov cocktails, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Yes, because he was not able because he wasn't a
citizen to buy a gun. Wow, so his first goal
was to go and buy a gun. But because he
wasn't a citizen.
Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
Wait, what justice he's so he's like, like, was the guy,
Oh hey, that's Colorado? Father cold?
Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
You know, just like they said about the guy that
got deported to El Salvador. Wow, Josh, this is why
you're awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
You guys must have a great following, because I'm surprised
that anyone's listening this long to.
Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
So when we immediately went off the rails talking about
five or five minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
I'm guessing that you guys, you know, really have a
faithful following.
Speaker 5 (01:02:11):
And I don't know, I think it just goes more
off the rails the longer it goes. Yeah, that when
people really tune in, Yeah, because we're gonna get ourselves
in trouble.
Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
One of the most fun times we ever had was
when we were on a road trip and we just
live streamed for like three hours, just like delirious at
like five in the morning, after staying up driving through
the night.
Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, Uh, since we
ended with such a downer, I think it's important to
actually close with a word from our other sponsor, Israel
Appreciation Day. You know, it's you know, hard for me
to believe in twenty twenty five that we have to
(01:02:58):
be having a conversation about why Israel has the right
to exist, But Unfortunately we're here ladies and gentlemen, and
that's why I.
Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
A D exists.
Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
They are sharing the message of why Israel is important, uh,
what they do, what they offer to the world, and
and why everybody should be a Zionist. So we're going
to close with that. Anything, h Jay, share with the
everybody where they can find you on the socials.
Speaker 4 (01:03:28):
Uh, it's best to find me in the socials. So
they don't want to have anybody find me in public.
