Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hello, and welcome to a brand new episode of Look Forward.
I'm your host, Jay, I'm here with my co host Brad.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Once again, I continue to be in a state where
all I want to do is punch very specific people.
As you and I were talking about for the show. Uh,
it would I really wish that some some people would
uh uh live up to their family destiny sooner rather

(00:47):
than later. That would be that would be pretty cool.
Take a rude but uh, but hey, at least the
news isn't all bad. Switch free orders are are they? Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
The price of the switch now seven hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
No price increase, no price increase, is still four fifty
or five hundred if you get it with Mario Kart World,
So they did. They did jack up the price of
the accessories to compensate for the Chinese tost but you
know the console is still the same. We have that
code for us.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
All right, Well that's not bad. It's not bad. Yeah,
all right, let's get right into it. There is plenty
to talk about. So first up, Maryland, the greatest state
in the Union. I will stand by that we got
the best. Senator Chris van Holland goes down to El
Salvador and actually meets with uh uh kilnar Abrigo Garcia

(01:45):
and we get proof of life, thank goodness and.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Not and not only that, but after so in the
in what's developed after the meeting, our Garcia has been
pulled out of the fucking goolag, out of the fucking
Seacott prison into like a regular facility where you know,
he like like it's not like a like like I said,
not like a fucking gulag. And the administration now is
that appears to be actually listening to the judge in

(02:14):
his case and actually working on getting him brought back
to the country. Why because Chris van Howend said, Hey, uh,
if Boukayle is not going to meet with me while
he's up here h and provide proof that this guy
is being safe and is being you know, properly taken
care of and stuff like that, then I'm gonna go
to fucking El Salvador. And he fucking went and he

(02:34):
met with the vice president of of L Salvador and
he basically was like, yeah, like, I'm not fucking leaving
until I talked to this dude, and he did, like
I said, he arranged it in person, meeting with him.
I did find it funny that uh boukey Le's goons
tried to like stage the meeting to make it look

(02:56):
like they were like sipping Margarita's and shit like that,
when you know, look how easy this guy hasn't, right, Yeah,
like it's it's just a pathetic.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Apathetic It's really dumb because it's like, Okay, look how
easy he has it. Then is your argument that you're
sending criminals down there to have an easy does it?
Fucking situation?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Like?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Which one is it? It doesn't, That doesn't make sense. The
White House also, at the same time, they released after
all this time, released like here are images of he's got,
you know, tattoos on his knuckles. You know that obviously
means he's in a mess. Thirteen. Look, I don't know anything
about MS thirteen as far as like what tattoos they have. Right,
those guys are pretty fucking scary. I'll happily admit that

(03:38):
from here, right, which I guess maybe I might be
in a closer situation. So yeah, whatever, those guys are
fine with me. I don't want anything. When he spoke
with those dudes. But but here's the thing, they're like,
oh well, this. You know, this thing stands for the M.
This is an ass and you know, and then you know,
like he's got a skull and that that that's the

(04:00):
S and MS thirteen And as somebody quite smartly pointed out,
why would why would the skull stand for the S?
Skull in Spanish is does not start with an S
like it starts with a C. Right, So it's like,
why would they do that? Like, Okay, look and look,
maybe they're really clever and they're trying to hide it.
I doubt it. I've seen the MS thirteen guys. They

(04:21):
have MS thirteen tattooed across their chest in giant letters.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Right, here's here's here's here's the other thing. The tattoos
that was in the picture that trump. I don't even
think they're really they're not. They they absolutely altered the photograph.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I didn't even think they were real. Of course, again,
if you believe that this guy is such a criminal,
why do you feel the need to lie, Like, if
you're so correct, why do you feel the need to lie? Gee,
it's because you're not correct, and you know you're not correct.
You know, Pam Bondi has been out here saying, oh,

(04:54):
if he's brought back to the US, we'll deport him. Again,
No you're not, No, you're not.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Like well and look maybe they will, but as long
as but again it's a really poor idea. By the way,
well it's a poor idea. But again, like people like
the White House is obviouscating the point. The point is
not that like you deported the guy. I mean it
is because you said that you made a mistake when
you did it. But the point is that you did
it without providing due process to this person. If he

(05:23):
stands in front of a judge and it's determined that
like yeah, like he doesn't need to be here anymore,
send him back to Al Salvador. That's gonna fucking suck.
But at least he had his day in court as
as it was, like that's that's the bigger issue at
hand here. And and Democrats that have argued about this
have been very consistent in mentioned like talking about like hey,

(05:46):
like that that's why like when they're sitting there talking
about you know, like like he might have done this
or like obviously Jamie, it's like, oh, he's a fellon,
he has traffic citations or whatever. Like a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Really, bro, Like, that's that's.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, that's your justification. The consistency in the argument has
been no, it's about because you violated his due process
rates and the due process rates of all of the
all the two hundred fifty other people that were sent
down with him as well.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Right, And and look, the right is really weird, right
because they for a number of reasons, but they're really
weird because they are making this this argument of like, well,
this guy's no, he's no saint. No one said he is. No,
no one said he is. It's the same argument the
right made about uh uh uh. You know like Freddie
Gray or you know Michael Brown or or you know

(06:36):
any of these other guys who've been killed by police
and stuff like that. Well, well they're no saint. Okay,
but we don't live in mega city one, and you
don't get to be judge dread right, Like, it doesn't
matter if the person even if they're like, even if
the person is a murderer, they still are they have
right to a fair trial if you capture them not murdering, right, like,
and you put you in jail and then we have

(06:57):
a trial. Like this idea of like well, that's a
bad guy, even by our argument, so we get to just,
you know, throw away their constitutional rights. That's not how
the world works. But that's not how they work.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
And again, you know, you know they're flailing because on
the same day that Van Holland went down there, the murderer,
who is a Hispanic male who killed this woman named
Rachel Morin, was sentenced in her crime and the White
House brought her mom to speak to the to the

(07:27):
press and basically just for this mom to shit talk
Chris van Holland like why are you going down there
to advocate? And I'm like, he didn't kill your daughter, Like,
just because some other Hispanic person killed your daughter doesn't
mean that we need that we're gonna throw out the
new process rights of this guy for a completely unrelated situation,

(07:48):
like I'm sorry that your daughter was murdered, Like that's
fucking tragic, But why are you allowing yourself to be
trotted out here to to basically say, yeah, like yeah,
like throw this dude in the fucking under the jail
for no reason whatsoever, Like what the fuck are you doing?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
It's it's two reasons. I look, I don't know anything
about that story. I bet I could guess guess the race,
but it's it's racism, right, Like that's a part of it.
You're also taking advantage of a person who was really hurt, right,
And when people are really hurt, they are they are
malleable to fucked up things.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
A case in point, the guy who's like the father
of the white kid who got stabbed by some black
kid at the track meet or some crazy shit like that. Right,
the Proud Boys are like all over that that story,
and they're like, oh, we got to defend the white
race and all sort of stuff. And they got on
the phone, some head of the fucking Prowdboys or whatever
got on the phone with the dad of the victim

(08:47):
and they're like, you know, do you stand with us
or whatever? And he's like, I'm sorry, who are you?
And he's like, oh, we're from fucking Proud Boys. And
he was like, I don't fucking stand with you. Fuck
you dude. Like he's like no, and he's like and
then immediately the Proud Boys guy, it's like, you're not
defending your son. Your son ended up like this. You
don't defend the white race. You're a pussy and you're
you know, you're just making more victims, you know, by

(09:08):
like it. He's just immediately turned on this guy, he
just lost his son because they were trying to exploit.
They thought that they could exploit his pain in his son.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Is a is a means to that he's an actual
person and they don't care about the things that happened
to him.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
And even in that guy's fucking you know, I'm sure
unbelievable hurt and distress, that kind was like staying with
you get the fuck out of here, like, but that
other that woman was probably very easily malleable in those moments.
And look, she may hold those like racist fucking views right,
like very easily. I don't know, but that's why they

(09:42):
do it, the same reason why you know, religion goes
after kids. You're more malleable when you're when you're a child, right,
it's the same. It's you're more vulnerable, like it just
is That's just true. So yeah, I mean, look, Chris,
Chris van Holland has done something that I think takes
real balls. It doesn't, it takes real balls. I did
appreciate that the vice president of El Salvador was like

(10:06):
Van Halend's like why are you keeping him here? And
dude was like, we're being paid by the Trump administration.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, straight up, dude, probably probably was supposed to say that.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, probably not, Probably not to me. That's the fucking
that's the linchpin, the lynchpin to a lot of this.
Trump's like, oh, we can't do anything about them, and
you know, the El Salvatory president, we can't do anything. No,
you can't. You just want you just want money, and
so you'll just do any sort of like gestapo fucking
horseshit you're doing, and you don't give a fuck because

(10:38):
you're just paying them. They just you know, toss people
and make them go away. So it has nothing to
do with authorities in different countries. It has nothing to
do with them. It has everything to do with we
are paying him. Guess what if the payments stopped? Yeah,
how many? How many American citizens are going there? Zero?

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Zero? So and and and by the way, I think
it's also worth pointing out here that we found out
yesterday that another man, a twenty year old who also
happens to be living in Maryland, also was incorrectly deported
down to Al Salvador. So now another federal judge has
ordered the administration tried to get this person back, whose

(11:20):
name we don't know. They've only been identified as Christian
in in court documents. But again, same thing, they said, Oh,
like this guy is a gang member, We're gonna take
him down there. He was in the US. He's been
in the US for a couple of years as an
unaccompanied minor seeking asylum from mel Salvador, and his asylum

(11:40):
status was still penning. And but they just took this
guy and picked him up and and fucking scooped him
up with everybody else because I because he fit the profile.
And you know, now we're trying to get this this
gentleman back as well. So and and and again you're seeing,
you're seeing this is all very deliberate, as we've been

(12:01):
talking about. There's another story that came out last week
where a man who had been trying to get his citizenship,
who had been in the country for legally for a
really long time, finally gets this call out of the
blue to come in and start filling out his documentation

(12:21):
for his citizenship for the country. And and this guy,
like his first thing was excitement, and then he's like,
wait a second, he's like something like this, This seems
a little too convenient. So he actually had the forethought
to scoop up to bring his friends with him and
have them wait outside of the building and film what

(12:42):
was going on. And he's like, sure enough, I get
in there. I'm talking to the guy the like the
guy of the citizenship thing. All of a suddenly halfway
through he has to excuse himself. He leaves the room.
And then two minutes later, here comes these ice guys
coming in and they march him out of the building
to to you know, to try to get him thrown
out of the country. And his friends caught the ship
on film of them doing this ship and and again

(13:05):
very deliberate. That is a tactic, like this guy was
picked as the scapegoat by the Trump administration even though
he's here legally, even though he was trying to do
the things that they say, Oh why he's trying to
do well, because they want to make sure that they
show these people like, hey, even if you're here legally,
and even if you're trying to do the right thing,

(13:25):
you're still not safe. And so it's it's scaring people
away from legally trying to gain citizenship and.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I one thing I'm one thing I'm very curious about
is the guys who do this, the actual ice agent.
I wonder about them because I feel like those guys
seem to be doing this dirty ship and who they
are doesn't seem to be as big of a question,
you know, it doesn't seem to be getting put on

(13:55):
full blast. And I think it's it's.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yes, because it's because they're doing this. It was because
they're doing this without identification, wearing masks, not not identifying
themselves upon this like like they are deliberately staying very hidden.
And again I'm not a big fan of like boxing
people or hacking people or stuff like that. But you know,
if there was an altruistic internet cyber sleuth that maybe

(14:21):
wanted to dig into find out who some of these
boots on the ground stormtroopers lack of lack of a
better word, that are carrying out these illegal deportations or
illegal like scooping up people off the street, and maybe
blast their shit all over the Internet and make these
guys feel a little scared for their well being and

(14:42):
and and their families. I don't know that I had
too much for a problem with that.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
No, I wouldn't either. No, you're you're what you're doing
is like, it's one thing if you're like, hey man,
we're grabbing like gang members who are doing you know,
dirty show. We're grabbing these guys and giving them due process,
by the way, not just shipping them. But like, it'd
be one thing if you're doing that, calling and lying
to a guy who's getting asylum and trying to become

(15:07):
a citizen in the ways that you say that's what
you want, tricking him and showing up to arrest him
and fucking tossing him out of the country. That's a
different type of fucking person who signs up for that,
And so those people should be absolutely exposed. So again
I'll say this every week. It's not a wish. It
is inevitable. You have these guys not telling you who

(15:30):
they are, walking around and playing clothes. People lie all
the time and can say that they're a cop or
they're from the government. You have no identification, you have nothing.
You're going to find a situation where people start walking
around armed and you're gonna get one of these guys
shot at or killed. It's just inevitable. Hey, we're here
to arrest you. Who the fuck are you? I'm from

(15:51):
the government, not a fuck you're not, and you just
are fucking popping off at people. Dude, It's inevitable, and
then it'll be a woe with me? How could this
have happened? I'll tell you, because if you're gonna do
this shit, you gotta be in uniform. Man, you gotta
be in unimor you got to be official in this shit.
And you don't want to do that because you want
this idea that it could happen, anybody could get it

(16:11):
type of shit. That's not a good idea. Now, of
course they don't care because they're scumbags, but you're going
to put people in danger by people, I mean your
own guys. You are you? Are you? Eventually someone is
gonna be like, I'm surprised people have not picked up
on this, but maybe they haven't. We just haven't had
a run in with the right, fuck right or wrong people.

(16:33):
But I have to say I would be shocked that
people are not walking around with fucking weapons on them
because they're like, I don't know who the fuck these
guys are. Is this inevitable? Especially and I and I
and I say this all the time, especially if you're
grabbing up women off the street, I'm telling you, man,
there's gonna be a guy's like, what the fuck is
going on? And you're not even gonna think, and they're

(16:53):
gonna react and somebody's gonna get killed. Yeah. Like, if
you're in one of these like shit kicking states where
everybody can walk around with a fucking handgun under their duster,
is what I imagine goes on there. They pull out
their six shooters.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Right.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
If you're a guy, you know, or a woman and
you see somebody just getting grabbed up by two guys
and you have no understanding of what's happening, yeah, you
might fucking go, you know what, here's my turn to
be a fucking hero. And you start fucking popping off
shots of these people. How would you know? I just
saw someone getting abducted, dude, Like I didn't have time

(17:31):
to think about whether they were ice or not because
they're driving a fucking, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
An unmarked white van.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, so that's candy written on the side of it,
Like what the fuck? Like, what do you think is
gonna happen?

Speaker 2 (17:42):
So again, and and and I and and to kind
of put a bone in the story, look, when when
you do stuff, when you set the example as Chris
van Holland did by going to a Salvador, Uh, you're
gonna inspire other people to get brave and do the
same as well. And we saw that. So Ed Markey,
Aana Presley, and Jim McGovern all went down to an

(18:04):
ICE attention center in Louisiana where rumesa os Turk. When
we talked about a couple yeks ago who got picked
up off the street for the crime of writing an
op ed against the Israeli bombing of Gaza, that was
that was the crime that she committed, that is causing
her to lose her status apparently. And then they just

(18:25):
they screwed her up from Tufts University in Boston and
shipped her down to an ICE attention center in Louisiana,
because that's logical in any way, shape or form, right,
But they But but the three, the three of these
Massachusetts congress folks went down there to check on her
as well and and made a big public thing about it. Also,

(18:46):
Peter Welsh in Vermont, we talked about the gentleman whose
name I unfortunately don't remember, who got tricked into like
going to fill out Decisions paper. He visited that person
as well because he is a Vermont man, so he's
one of his situation. So again, Chuck Schumer, if you're
paying attention, uh, this is what action looks like. This

(19:07):
is this is stuff you can actually do. Hakeem Jeffries,
if you're paying attention, this is what action looks like.
A couple a couple other representatives went down to El
Salvador as well Democratic representatives to check on the conditions
at this prison. Stuff like that. They tried to get
go as an actual delegation. Of course, Mike Johnson did
not grant them the authority to do that. But as

(19:29):
Maxwell Frost said, well, good news is, I don't need
the Speaker's permission to get on a plane. So I'm
just going to go down there and go myself anyway,
even though it's not a federal an official federal delegation.
And he and several other representatives went down there as well.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
So and this is the type of shit Democrats need
to be doing. And by the way, you know, it's
easy to be like, well, they're just doing it for
political reasons. Yeah, of course that doesn't h but that
doesn't also mean that they don't actually think that this
is a good idea, right that they.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Don't all all the Republicans that are also going down
to l Salvador officially to look tough in front of
the fucking you know, jail cell at seact that they're
also going down for political reasons in case we are aware.
So yeah, yeah, like because I already I can hear
people say, well, that's just for political reasons.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, they're in politics. Like, it's all for political reasons.
They're defending the constitution, right, Like things can be politically
savvy and good for you and also the right thing.
These two things are not you know, they're not mutually exclusive.
So let's take a quick break and then we're gonna
get into uh new, you need the.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
The real uh the negotiator stepped to the table.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh ship, art of the fucking deal coming up? All right,
new you need stop you guys, seriously, just stop it.
Donald Trump pleads with Putin to stop attacking Ukraine. Quote Vladimir,
stop stop it. Oh my god. US President Donald Trump

(21:03):
leaded with the Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop attacking
Ukraine after another set of deadly strikes rocky Ukraine's capital
of Kiev, urging him to secure a peace deal. Quote,
I'm not happy with the Russian strikes in Kiev. I
don't think he's wrote Kiev and all capital letters. Do
you think they're Roman numerals. I think that's what he thinks,
like a you.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Know what, it wouldn't. No, I'm gonna disagree because I
don't think he knows before right, he knows what Roman
urals are, but he doesn't know like what they are,
if that's correct.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
He probably knows the I in the V, and then
he's like the rest of it. It's all all of
this not necessary, very bad timing. Vladimir stop five thousand
soldiers a week or done. Let's get the peace deal done.
Trump posted on his true social platform on Thursday. I

(21:56):
was told, and look, maybe I'm being a dick, but
I was told that Trump was going to stop the
war in Ukraine before the inauguration. Is what he's saying.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yah, just the if I recall correctly, during the campaign,
he alluded to the fact that just the mirror fact
of him being elected president would be enough to completely
cut this thing off.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Just it'd be done. I do like that. It's it's
April twenty fourth, and this article came out what I
assume April, Yeah, it came out today, April twenty fourth.
I love that it's April twenty fourth. And now he's
starting to get into it, like whoa, whoa, guys, like,
let's get into it. I yelled at Zelenski that one
time to know he wasn't wearing a suit or whatever,

(22:46):
and I made, you know, fucking apologize. But now now
April twenty fourth, baby, we're getting into it. And by
the way, how am I doing it. I'm gonna tell
him to stop, but I'm not gonna say to his face.
I'm gonna fucking tweet it on my sub par Twitter machine,
right like he doesn't give a fuck? Okay, guys, like
he doesn't care?

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Does he not give a fuck? But he again, we know,
we know where his loyalties lie, we know whose pocket
that he's in. Despite like I said, doesn't make any
sense to me why the president of United States needs
I mean, it does make sense to me why the
president United States needs to colt out to the president
of Russia when it's him. But I'm saying, like in
a normal, normal addressary on relationship, this will not be

(23:29):
a big deal. I mean, this is the weakest shit
that I've ever seen, man Like, like like I told
you and Andy like this he in this post. He
sounds like when we make fun of the people who
go on Twitter and tag Donald Trump and like hey
Donald Trump, like I voted for you, but these tariffs
are are gonna make me lose my business and and
this that or the other thing. I'm just like that.

(23:50):
That's what this dude sounds like talking to put like
like a dude who has zero control over anything that's
going on. And it's just like begging this dude to
save face for him, which is which is the insane
part as well. Like he's like to your point, he
doesn't give a ship about the conflict actually ending, but
it's making him look bad that the conflict is still

(24:12):
going on. When he talked all this ship about how
he was gonna be the guy to to put a
stop too.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I'm gonna do it. Yeah, it's a joke, right, Like
this is a joke at this point, the idea that
anyone believes anything that he says, any campaign promises that
he made that were seemingly remotely positive things, none of
it has come to pass. None of it. Oh, I'm
gonna lower the prices of gas and more than that.

(24:41):
Lady just straight up lied about it. I'm gonna end
the war in Ukraine. Lied about it like I'm gonna
have Yeah, the Warren Gaza lied about it. Is that
doing anything. All he's doing is gutting the American like
domestic system. He's destroying, like that's that's all he's.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
And destroying our credibility around the world, like actually destroying it.
Like last time, it was pretty bad because he was
like a joke and people are just like, Wow, this
fucking sucks. I can't wait until not Donald Trump is
the president again so we can get back to normal.
And the worry is now at what he's with, what
he's doing this time, there might not be a normal
to get back to when it comes to the rest

(25:22):
of the global community.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, I agree. So yeah, he's doing that. I saw
this really there's a there's like a financial like he's
a professor or whatever, he is a doctorate and he
talks it and he's like super plain spoken. I follow him.
I can't remember his name right now, but he was
like Donald Trump is a moron, which I was like,

(25:45):
tell me more. Okay, and he goes, Listen, when you
talk about government efficiency, you have to realize that since
the nineteen sixties, the size of the US population has
grown by one hundred and fifty million people. Right, he goes,
But the federal workforce has largely stayed the same. Like

(26:07):
it's not. It hasn't. It hasn't grown exponentially.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Talk about this all the time, right, And it's like
the same thing as congressional representation, same thing with the
federal judiciary, like all.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
None of those things of move, none of like for
the most part. No, not sing the moo. If you
want to talk about efficiency, the government is incredibly efficient
that it has been able to still run do more
things for one hundred and fifty million more people with
no like massive increase in staff. So this idea of

(26:40):
you're talking about efficiency, efficiency, efficiency, it's already insanely efficient.
Now are there things you could change, like little like
little tweaks here and there. Sure, but on the grand scale,
it's incredibly efficient. There should be millions more federal employees
than there really are.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
And when it comes to government, when it comes to politics,
you and I talk about this all the time. Visa
the Democratic electoral politics, but it really does apply to
the federal government broadly as a whole. Is that everybody
all the time is so willing to sacrifice the good

(27:20):
or even the great in this case, to chase like perfection,
which is unatailable all the time. And no, and one
of the reasons that Trump and Elon Musk and and
all these other fucking idiots have been able to get
in here and wreck shop to the speed at which
they've been able to do it is because no one

(27:40):
goes to back for the government, like when Trump was
out here saying like, hey, the government's fucked up and
it's inefficient and we're wasting money, and you know, we
have too many programs. There the other thing, literally, no,
even Democrats will not full throatedly stand up and be like, no,
you're wrong. Actually it's pretty fucking good because they're fucking afraid.
Like it seems like every time a Democrat talks about doge,

(28:02):
like they have to they have to curb their statement
with you know, now, I'm all for making the government
more efficient, or I'm all for limiting waste and stuff
like that, but before you know, complimenting things in any way.
But most of them should be have been saying, Hey,
actually the government is pretty fucking efficient and pretty and
and all things considered, uh limited waste, you know, like

(28:22):
and again to your point, certainly things that we can improve.
Is there opportunity for a lot of like slow moving
bureaucratic red tape to be able to maybe be bypassed
or sped up? Sure? Absolutely, Apparently that's like a big
topic of the new EZRA client book that I just got.
I haven't got a chance to crack into it yet,
but I'm very excited to read that and stuff like that.

(28:42):
So obviously there are areas of improvement. Yeah, sue me.
But to like, you know, sol security. Sole Security has
been around for almost one hundred years at this point
in this country. Social Security has never missed a check,
has never like likes like anyone that's got like applied

(29:03):
for security that is do it has has gotten it
when they've been supposed to that. It's reliable as clockwork,
you know. Medicare Is it a pain in the ass sometimes, Yeah,
it absolutely is. But does it get But does it
get in the hands of our seniors and does it
pay for their medicines to pay for their health care? Yes?
Probably yes, Like again, like you have what pole people

(29:23):
Pole seniors, like, Hey, what's your approval, Like do you
approve of Medicare? How is running right now? Or disapprove?
And you're gonna find like an eighty one to nineteen
split of people that are like yeah Medicare ay, okay, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
And there's you can't find that in almost anything else, right,
Like it's just it's just not a thing. But yeah,
this this idea of government is so bad and so
poorly running everything else. And it's like outside of like
your bullshit narratives based on what like based on what
the one the one government agency that I would say,

(29:55):
you could you could legitimately say has a lot of
problems and desperately needs to approve it.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
The Republicans will ever touch.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, the fucking VA. Like it's the fucking VA where
people are like in general, oh well that goes without saying,
but I'm saying, like, like, the the VA is a
thing that clearly doesn't get enough funding. It it feels
like a thing that absolutely should it's always given. It's
largely put in the hands of people who don't know

(30:22):
what the fuck they're doing, right, who do not have
soldiers or vets best interests in mine. Right, it is
a thing that a lot of vets complain about. It's
a thing that could be fixed. It could be you.
I would even make the argument that the VA may
not even need it's gonna sound weird, may not even
need to exist in the way that it is as

(30:43):
much as it needs to just be a carve out
inside something like medicaid, right Like, they just get the
same sort of deals as medicaid is. But if you're
a veteran, you get dumped into a different pool, right Like,
you don't need a set I would or you don't
need a separate agency. Why because medicaid is incredibly popular
and people are like in Medicare and Medicaid are both

(31:03):
like people like, yeah, no, they're fucking great, it works
really well. Just do that, right But if you want
to make it a separate thing, fine, it's fine, But
then let the military run it, right Like, instead of
making it a political thing, just let the military run it.
Be Like, all right, the second you get you retire,
you get fucking shipped off into this this other block.

(31:23):
And we got all these like logistic nerds that we've
been training for the last fucking forty years and those
are the people who handle this shit, but often it's
given to billionaires to run it, especially in the Republicans,
who just trash it because they don't because those guys
have never served, so they don't give a fuck about veterans.
Oh what are we paying for these veterans to sit
on their ass like these guys got shot in the

(31:43):
butt man to defend in the country.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
You know, they don't.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
They don't have any reverence for that shit. They just
don't give a fuck, right, So I would that's the
thing that could be worked on. The DoD is one
of them.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I'll tell you listeners out there, if you ever hear
anyone in your life say that like, oh, the government
needs run more like a business, slap them in the
face immediately. Yep. The government is not a business. The
government does not exist to generate profit, yeah it doesn't,
or revenue it is it is. It exists to provide services.
That is what the government is for. And services are

(32:18):
not a money making endeavors. Services are not something that
you should be looking at a balance sheet at the
end of the day to make sure that you're still
in the black at the end of it. Services are
something we pay for and you get the thing you
pay for. That's what a fucking service is. That That's
why Jay and I get so infuriated when Republicans talk
about like all the post offices is losing money. It's
fucking supposed to Like that's the whole fucking point is

(32:40):
to get you the mail. But that's that's what it's
there for.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Like, Okay, they charge you for stamps. It's not even
it's not even a man at one. There's no way
they make their money back on any of that, right,
it's not making.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Money at all in stamps. You're paying for the stamps.
That's what you're literally, you're paying.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
For that does get like printed and what have you.
But my larger point is, and like you know, obviously
the postal company, you know, the postal service, like okay,
you pay for like a larger package, right to get
to get trips to you whatever. That money is like
to break even, like it is not to be like
we're like fucking rolling in it. They're not competing with ups,

(33:18):
they're not competing with DHL or e fedects. That's not
the fucking point. The point is that that is in
the Constitution. It is a service to keep the country alive.
It is a lifeblood of the country, to make sure
that people can get communication, they could get packages, they
can get food, they can get whatever they need.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
The way, the fact that the Post Office does do
parcel delivery is a good thing because if the Post
Office somehow ceased to exist and FedEx and UPS were
the only NDHL were the only companies delivering small packages
in the United States, magically the price to mail small
packages would increase out of nowhere. Why because there's not

(33:55):
a public option that's that's keeping forcing the end the
state competitive in the marketplace. It's almost like we should
apply that same mindset to other things that are a
public good as well. Well sorry, sorry to get all
socialist audio.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah yeah, this guy supports health universal healthcare, and the
Post Office put him in El Salvador. Get off your
fucking soapbox, Karl Marx. Yeah, it's so fucking stupid, because, like,
you're absolutely right, the Post Office is the exact perfect example.

(34:33):
That's literally the public option, Like it literally is. It's like, yeah,
but DHL and FedEx and UPS they work really well. Yeah,
And then sometimes you're like, yeah, I can't afford that,
and it'd be nice to have the other option. You
don't have to use it all the time, you're not
forced to. You can you can pay for private mailing. Fine,
but it's there like an old shoe, it's just there
waiting for you right to throw at your kid. So, yeah,

(34:58):
you're he really has gone data. Yeah, I've been down here.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
It is what it is.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
It happens. It happens at the best of misson. So yeah,
that's that's fucking insane. Speaking of speaking of financially stupid.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
You you want to know, you want to know why
I'm really in a bad mood this week. I'm really
in a bad mood because of the story that we're
going to talk about later and because of terriffs. Let
me tell you, oh how cool my life is of terriffs.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, because your job now we're going to not get
what you do, Brad fentanyl. So he's being terrified. Well,
Trump said he's gonna put high terrace on.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
As as I've said before, I work for a distributor company,
who are a wholesaling company who imports like sixty percent
of our stuff from China. So let me tell you
it's been fucking spectacular to be at work for the
past two weeks thanks to this fucking idiot.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Well, well, Brad, maybe things are slowing down, just maybe. Uh.
Terrified Trump flees terrifour after CEOs after CEO's empty shelves warning,
here we go, this is lovely. So Donald Trump radically
softened some of his most severe rhetoric after CEOs of

(36:22):
the nation's biggest retail chains warned him of looming price
raises and empty shelves. The CEOs of Walmart, Target, and
Home Depot met privately with Trump on Monday and told
him that although prices were steady at the moment, his
trade policies could have a devastating effect within just two
weeks with supply chains disrupted. This wasn't just about food,

(36:44):
but he was told that shelves will be empty. The
President was also reportedly spooked by investors reaction to the
threats to fire or reaction to his threats to fire
Fed chair Jerome Powell. Stocks, bonds, and dollar and the
dollar all slumped this week until Trump abruptly toned down
his statements, Yeah this is uh, and here's your CEOs

(37:12):
not the home or was it? Uh? Walmart targeted and
helped people. Oh these are all the idiots. You did this?

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, you did you did this? You did this? Yeah,
like like fucking like like Ken Ken Griffin made news
today because Ken Griffin's out here saying like, hey, like
the US economy is really fucking up right now. I'm like,
Ken Griffin, how many millions of dollars did you contribute
to get Donald Trump? And like the president? You fucking moron,
like like like like you you did this dude. So
so here, So I'm glad I can speak about this

(37:43):
with a form of knowledge because I don't think people
listening unless you work in ciel arnustries understand like how
this should.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Impact, so I don't.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
We haven't, right, So, so we haven't actually seen like
on like real end user on the ground tariff impacts
yet because they either have gotten paused or they haven't
fully gone into place yet or whatever is going on.
So you've seen prices go up a little bit in
some sectors and stuff like that, but no one's reacted
yet to one hundred and forty five percent tariffs on

(38:12):
the As far as on the shelf pricing, that hasn't
happened yet. But here is what's happening. So right now,
we had like, like once these terriffs renounced, we had
a number of container ships, containers on the water on
ships because I like when you guys, when you order
something from China and it gets pacto containing or it
gets on a cargo freighter, it takes like forty five

(38:33):
to sixty days to get from China to the US essentially,
so like those were already in transit can't do anything
about those they're coming. We got to figure the shit out.
What we did also do is we told our Chinese manufacturers, hey, uh,
don't ship anything else until we tell you, for.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
The love of God.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
So basically, like all the shit that's in China that
could have gotten loaded onto a car container is gonna
sit there until we figure out exactly what the fuck
is going on because Chinese, because new shipments are not
coming from mainland China constantly, ship at the ports in
the US has slowed down tremendously. I don't know if

(39:13):
you know much about port workers, but if there's no
work to do, uh, they don't really work. They don't
fucking get to sit around and fucking do nothing. If
you know, if you're like a Steve door you're unloading
and stuff like that, like you need cargo coming in
to do that. Here's another problem. If there's no containers
being unloaded from ships, there's no containers being trucked across
the country as well. So we're seeing trucking companies also

(39:36):
freaking out because there's a lot less shit that's coming in,
like like it's going on, you know, the stuff to
ship and so like holy shit, Like our cargo loads
are significantly lower than they've been for a really long time.
So and right now, container pricing is through the floor.
Like like when I don't know if people know how
containers work, but like when you get a container in China,

(39:58):
you don't actually like just get to rent space container.
You hit the bid for it with other companies because
there's a limited amount of containers well to zone shipping anything.
Containers are dirt cheap, so it'd be great if you
want to ship something, but with one hundred and forty
five percent tariff, you're not gonna make like you're gonna
lose that money anyway by the tariff when you import
it into the country. And then once the teriff's level out,
we get to like a sensible level of tariffs, all

(40:20):
of a sudden, you're gonna see container prices go through
the fucking roof, just like they did during fucking COVID,
which is going to then translate into higher prices that
you're gonna pay it because it's gonna cost companies more
to ship stuff into the country. So, because this fucking
idiot doesn't know what he's doing, and because this fucking
idiot thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and
he trying to wheel and deal even though he's not

(40:40):
actually making deals with other countries at all right now
in any way, shape or form, we are going to
be punished for it at the end of the day.
And it's and now now it's at the point because
we've had this pause, because we've had this time where
stuff is not coming over from China, and because companies
have don't know what to do, because because there's no consistency,

(41:01):
Like he looks at this unpredictability as like a boon,
it's a positive because he's keeping the other countries on
the toes. But meanwhile, those of us that have businesses
in the United States need to know what our goods
are going to cost. Getting them in the country. And
having someone who's willing to change on a dime and
won't commit to a single strategy or won't you tell
us what he's actually gonna do, is really fucking problematic.

(41:24):
And at the end of the day, it is all
going to fall down on the end user because at
the when it's all said and done, when all the
dust settles, you're the person that goes to the store
to buy that product, or to buy your iPad, or
to buy like the manufactured product that has all the
component pieces that come from China. You're the one that's
going to get fucked over at the end of the day.

(41:46):
With this, it's going to happen sooner, like inevitably, it's
going to happen. Just because it hasn't happened yet does
not mean that we are on a collision course for it.
And again, because he's taken such a drastic step, is
when it hit in some way, whether that's the terriff increase,
whether that's container shipping prices going up, you know, all

(42:07):
that stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
And in the meantime container thing, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah, and and and and in the meantime, logistics companies,
trucking companies. You know, people who unload that sort of thing,
they're getting fucked right now, like like like they're the
ones that are getting screwed over at the moment because
there's nothing to transport because people have pause and stop
shipments in most cases. So guess what. Trucking the number
one profession in like every fucking state in the country.

(42:32):
In case you didn't know, Oh interesting, I didn't know that.
In case you weren't aware, Yeah, well think I mean,
think about how many loads, how many containers of goods
getting transported across the country every day.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
So I mean.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
I'm not mad put.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
That, No, no, no, I just I find it. I
find it humorous that people don't realize that their votes
have ramifications. Everyone with a normal functioning bring was like,
please don't do this, and the two were like, let's
just keep going.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
And and And it's funny because the whole time that
like Scott beston that poor fucking bastard, I actually feel
a little sorry for him, like getting trotted out here
to be the guy that to face the firing squad
all the time. But this, this poor fucking bastard is like, hey,
like we need to we need to like worry less
about Wall Street right now and focus on Main Street

(43:28):
right now. Uh, guess guess what. Wall Street the big companies,
they're the ones that can weather the store.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Yeah, main Street.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
The small businesses don't have that luxury, don't have that leeway.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
No I and I saw I saw a report basically
I wish I still had up on my phone. This
guy was like, look, I literally cannot afford to like
import Like I I have these things that I'm ready
to buy for my companies, like feed or something like that.
He's like, I literally can't because I cannot afford it
because of the tariffs. It has now been priced out.

(44:03):
I've been basically priced out of it, and I need
that to run my business. Like that's the most simplest
thing to understand, and as fucked. So he's like, what
am I supposed to do?

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (44:13):
I just to buy it locally. Here's the thing. If
I could do that, I fucking would like, But I can't.
Like the price even in domestically, if they even have
the thing, Well, that's that's and that's more expensive than
even with the fucking tariffs, Like it can even be
that high.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
So well, and that's and that's The other thing that
people fail to understand is is you and I have
been talking for the last several weeks about how how
ridiculous it is to have like a goal to bring
a lot of large scale manufacturing back to the United States.
Not only is it dumb to do it, but I

(44:52):
was listening to uh to Tom Freeman, and Tom Freeman
sucks generally, like like, I'm not a big top Freeman guy.
I mean, but he does go to China a lot
and has been on the ground to kind of see
how they're operating. And look, they own the manufacturing game, right, yes,
we see that, Like they literally do it better than

(45:16):
everybody else does because they have refined and they have
made this part of their society. So even if we
do bring manufacturing on that scale back here, we're not
going to do it as good as them, unless we
do what we did with Japan in the nineteen nineties
and bring them into the country and allow those companies

(45:37):
to operate on US soil so that we can learn
from them, which is never going to fucking happen with
the current political affigment that's out there right now. I mean,
China's so fucking good at this shit. I learned about
something I didn't know about. Do you know what dark
factories are? Jay?

Speaker 1 (45:52):
No?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
So, China has thousands of factories that are called dark factories,
and the reason they're called dark factories is because they
are entirely automated, so they don't even turn the fucking
lights on. They just let the machines do all the manufacturing,
and then they have an engineer that comes in for
like two hours a day to make sure that shit's

(46:15):
working correctly and then fucking turns the ice out and
fucking like. That's that's where China's at right now.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Yeah, but we should be good, right, Like, hey.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
We'll spend that up in two months, no problem, easy people, We'll.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Get Doje on it right right. Yeah. It's amazing to me.
It's just amazing to me the the bizarre level of
arrogance that people think running a country that is that
is unbelievably focused on manufacturing, like that would be such
an easy switch. There's some there was there was some

(46:51):
survey it was like, you know, how important do you
think it is to bring back manufacturing to the United States?
And it was like fifty percent and it said like,
hell yeah, it's super important. And it was like, are
you excited to work in a manufacturing job? No? Like,
and it's like, well, over like sixty or seventy percent,
It's like, yeah, people like the concept of this, but

(47:13):
nobody wants to work a fucking factory job. People who
work in factory jobs now don't want to have to
work in a factory job. Like, they just don't. It's
not a it's not a job that people enjoy.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
I I love it and by the way, for those that.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Don't, anybody job by the way.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Yeah, well well, and here's the funny thing. So this
this is not a point that I considered until I
saw it online recently. So you know how like like
retail bit like like retail stores and stuff like that
obviously has been dwindling down as the era of online
commerce has course has moved up. So if you work
in retail and retail jobs grow scarcer by the year

(47:53):
because we're going the opposite direction there, right, Where do
you think you're gonna go when this ship hits fan,
when and when they bring all these factories over here,
that's where that that's where the that's where the millionaires
and the billionaires are expecting you to end up is
in the factory, work in those ten hour days you're making.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
I mean, people look down on the people who work
at Amazon. Where do you think you're going to be
working in the in this in this New America where
there's this factories as as far as the eye can
see you? Motherfuck? Are you sitting at the desk like yeah,
with your tiny little hands putting phones together that are
cost nine thousand dollars now congratulations mhm. So yeah, it's

(48:37):
it's a it's a fucking joke, man, It's it's a
real fucking joke. All right, let's let's take a quick
break and then we're going to talk about we're gonna
talk about the health and Human Services and Brad and
I are gonna get real mad and get really really mean,
so we'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Robert F.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Kennedy Junior is a fucking more. That's how I'll start
the segment. I don't have a clip unfortunately, where he
talks about he talks about school shootings. I'll start there.
He talks about school shootings and how it has nothing
to do with the proliferation of guns in the United States.

(49:19):
He's sure of that. He's sure of that because that's
a part of his brain that was eaten by a
warm I think even though there are other countries that
have tons of guns or you know, or rather they
don't have a ton of guns, but they have tons
of people, and somehow they don't have school shootings.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Yeah, it's weird, weird.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
His argument is that it's because of SRI SSRI drugs.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
These are your you know, selective serotonin UH re uptake inhibitors, right,
so you're you're like adderall or you know, sort of
any like xen x, like antipsychotics or anything like.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
That, right, Any depressive mostly anti anxiety medications.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
ADHD medications uh would also be dumb. They're not SSRI's,
but they would dump them into that category as well.
He thinks that those are what are the ramp up
of school shootings. He had made the argument that he
wanted to have these wellness farms or wellness camps, which

(50:37):
sounds as draconian and dystopian as you think they do,
where people would not they they would they would go
to work on these farms and they would not have
their ssr I drugs and this would help cure them
because there's nothing that can help a person who has
you know, schizophrenia or their manic depressive or they have

(50:58):
bipolar disorder. Nothing like a good hard day's work to
really get that AUDI. Yet, I guess if you're shoveling
shit for fucking twelve hours a day at a farm,
that will fix it. I cannot tell you how offensive
I find that that will only be easily surpassed by

(51:20):
when we talk about the next part with RFKG union,
when Brad talks, which is every right to be angry about,
and I am angry by pop proxy on it. But
I take ADHD medication.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Person yeah, I take I take antidepressants personally, I didn't.
I didn't start taking it until about four or five
years ago. And I'm not going to be so I'm
not going to go as far as say like they
saved my life because I wasn't like in that that
bad of a situation. They have improved my quality of
life significantly, right, improved my mental state and well being

(51:54):
significantly in the time that I.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Think my medication significant, right, like significant. So also when
I saw that story my daughter also has ADHD. I
saw that that story and I send it to you
and Andy, and I was like, I will never move
back into the United States as long as these fucking
psychos are in power, I never will. My daughter needs

(52:16):
her medication, she does. There's no farm that is going
to fucking fix this, right. It is something that you're
born with, man like, It's just it is what it is.
He's not a medical fucking qualified person on anything, on
anything on anything like.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
He doesn't even have the background, like he was an
environmental lawyer, which is not right. It does not give you.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
And he eats roadkill. Is this the guy you're listening to?
Rights fucking Christ?

Speaker 2 (52:47):
So I wanna and this definitely folds into the next
part of the story which we which we'll get to
in a second, but I just want to point out,
so we have learned more about the human brain in
the past I would say, one hundred years then we

(53:08):
had in the entirety of human history up to that point,
and we still know nothing about the the human break.
I mean, like.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
This idea, like listening to people talk about things like
ADHD and you know, depression and you know, bipolar disorder
and stuff like that in these such like flippant, flippant
ways when they don't suffer from these issues, makes me crazy.

(53:46):
I'm like, you don't know.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
It's because it's because that ADHD medication, Jane, That's right, that.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Was making me insane, right, Like you have no idea
what you're talking about. You don't, don't you know? And
I'm gonna play a clip of RFK JR. And then
I'm gonna tell you what somebody said in UH in
response to this, which I think is an amazing response
and it's absolutely true. So I want to play this

(54:13):
clip because he's a fucking psychopath, like he really is.
In his thought process is that of a person whose
brain has been eaten by warm like it really is.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
And uh. And these are a broad category, the ones
that already mentioned, like ADHD, the neurological disorders ADD ADHD,
speech delay, language LA ticks to red syndrome, and arcolepsy,
ASD autism. All of these are injuries that I never
heard of when I was a kid. They were not

(54:47):
part of the nomenclature, They weren't part of the dialogue.
There was zero spent in this country treating chronic disease
when my uncle was president. Today is about one point
eight trillion dollars annually. It's bankrupting our nation. Seventy four
American kids cannot qualify for military service. How are we

(55:10):
going to maintain our global leadership with such a sick population.
We have all these autoimmune disease, these exotic diseases, and
again I never heard of juvenile diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, loup has,
Groan's disease, and one hundred others that.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Were just.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Okay, a couple of things. You never heard of these things,
so therefore they're not true, They're they're not valid.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
I'll tell you the response I saw to it that
that and this isn't like a flippant response response. It
kind of illustrates the problem and it makes Arkae look
like the fucking dummy that he is. He's saying, Oh,
I like this. None of this stuff was around when
I was a kid. I didn't hear about any of
this stuff growing up. This sort of the other thing.
And a response that I saw to it was like, yeah,
and you know what's weird is that, like all these

(56:04):
planets existed once we invented the telescope, right, because they
weren't there, right, It's because we learned about them for
the first time. Right.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
And by the way, the response I saw that was
really great. It was like from that video, I had
never heard of any of these things. And you know,
all these crazy ailments and someone goes, your aunt was
lobottomized and put into a home. What are you fucking
talking about? She was, by the way, she had depression
and her family was like, put an ice pick in
her fucking brain.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
And then they just shipped across that because what they
used to do back in his day, right when people
had issues like he's talking about, is they would send
them to the sanitarium.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
Right stand right here, bink going the right, like for
the rest of your life. Now here's the thing he says.
And look, there's tons of things that he says they're
fucking insane, but one that really just struck struck me
as crazy. All these autoimmune things that we never heard of,
like lupis bro loopis was discovered in is established in

(57:09):
nineteen oh four. Maybe you didn't hear about it because
you were too high on heroin in high school. Like
it existed, man, we knew what it was.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
And here's and also like, oh, there's all these diseases
that I never heard of. Did you realize that like
global travel the ease of being able to travel between
countries and populations that didn't interact with each other at
scale now interact a lot more. Is going to also
increase the spread of diseases that aren't maybe local to one.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Place or another, right, I mean you know, right, I
mean there's not even diseases, but just you know, certain
disabilities too, right, like people. You know, obviously there is
a you know, hereditary element to autism for instance, right,
and you know there is a theory, it's a theory, right,
is that there isn't there is seen as an increase.

(58:02):
I mean, we're much better at diagnosing sort of spectrum
disorder at this point. Like that's one hundred percent a
large part of it. But the other is like people
have traveled more so people who potentially have these traits
have met other people who potentially have them, so then
they have children, and there's a higher rate because if
everybody stayed in their little town, well guess what, like

(58:23):
the populations are you know, the gene pools are a
lot fucking them all. There are people travel the world
and everything else, you know, just because unlike you know, reality,
unlike what he says is like everyone who has autism
spectrum disorder can't feed themselves and all. That's not true.
That's not true at all. Elon Musk, for instance, has
a SD. He's fucking the government up right now, like

(58:47):
he's your guy, right, so like this this idea that
you cannot function or is deeply offensive.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Well, and and that and and so that that leads
us into.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
This is the ship I I I. When I was,
I was like I could feel the heat coming off
of brad Skull hundreds of or thousands of miles away.
I mean, I knew you.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
So so this motherfucker gets up on a fucking stage
and talks about because because his grand strategy is, you know,
by September, he's gonna he's gonna figure out what causes autism. Cool,
because you know all all the scientists that have been
trying to figure it out for the last thirty years.
You know, the the real thing that they were missing

(59:30):
was just a deadline. Like if only someone had if
only someone had just locked them down timetable on this,
they could have figured it out.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
So long you guys figured out whenever. By the way,
why don't you call over to the National Cancers to
be like you got till June knock it out.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
You better better figure that out better, you better figure
out shit out. We need to have an answer. Spoiler alert.
The answer that he's gonna give is me vaccines, just
one hundred. I don't, I don't. I don't want to
tell you the end of the book before you get
there yourself.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
But we all we all know what the end, right,
don't read ahead.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
But but this, this fucking guy is sitting there and
and he kind of gives the game away in the
clip that Jade has played where the first thing he
mentions is like, we have seventy four percent of kids
who aren't gonna be able to serve in the military, Like, oh,
why is that a problem? Because that's all you guys
fucking care about that and reproduction. Those are the are
the only things he's sitting there. But he sits there

(01:00:21):
and gives a speech about how they like like, we
have to feel terrible for these kids because they because
they you know, they'll never go on a date, or
they'll never play baseball, or they'll never you know, play
an instrument. They need assistance using the toilet, and they
won't get they won't have a job, and they won't
contribute to society and they're gonna need constant.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Care and destroy and they destroy families.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Right which and basically saying without saying it, that these
lives are worthless and therefore we must stop this from
happening to these people because it's it's ruining in the country.

(01:01:04):
And let me tell you something. My son is uh
like like you know, highly autistic and and takes a
lot of these boxes that he talked about, is worth
a dozen of fucking r f K juniors, that fucking
gravelly voice piece of shit. Like dude, he like like

(01:01:25):
like he has he will have a more fulfilling life
than r f K junior ever fucking will because he
because he's not fucking dead bears. And by the way,
I'm just gonna like since they just make shit up
and just treat his fact RFK fuck that bear, just
f y, I like that, like that that that's a
fact that I heard happened. So r r f K
fucked that bear, and so just be so he's not
gonna go fucking you know, dead bears and traveling in

(01:01:47):
his car with them and dumping it in Central Park
and stuff like that. Uh spoiler alert, you know, r
f K as far as I know, not on the
spectrum was stupid enough to do something like that, right,
which speaks really highly of his intelligence, let me tell you,
But to suggest that, and again, like I'm not going
to sit here and say that. Obviously it's difficult having

(01:02:09):
a child with special needs, and obviously it's a little scary,
you know, Like I think all the time about like, hey,
like what is his adult life going to be? Like
how much care will we need? Like how are we
going to be supported once he's out of school? And
you know, he can't hold down a job and he
doesn't need help to use the math room and stuff
like that. So yeah, these are all things that I
talked about. Would I rather not have to deal with them, absolutely,

(01:02:32):
But we do have to deal with it. And if
you're the director of Health and Human Services, your fucking
job is not to try to demonize these people and
not to try to scape these people, and not to
try to use them as a fucking cudgel to prop
up your anti vaccine bullshit nonsense. Your job is to

(01:02:54):
fund programs to make sure that the quality of life
of these people will be significant, to make sure that
these people get to live with the dignity that neurotypical
people get to deal with all the time. That your
job is to make sure that these families that you say, oh,
these like these these people like tear families apart, and

(01:03:16):
you know what, in some cases they do because having
a child that requires that much attention and as on
special needs is stressful. It's really difficult. My wife and
I certainly have had lots of difficult times and and
stuff like that having a child with special needs. So
your job as the ahcis sectorary. Knowing these people exist
would be to help families better take care of things

(01:03:37):
like this, not to fucking use them as a political
prop to advance your bullshit agenda because you want you
want to advance science that has been thoroughly debunked. Like,
let's make nobous about it. It is not that, oh,
we don't know if vaccines cause autism. It has been
pretty well proven that vaccines do not cause aw kids.

(01:04:01):
Despite the fact that there are many people out there
that think that, I still believe this debunked science that
it does. All of this came from one guy. There's
actually a fucking fantastic video out there, and I don't
remember the reporter's name who made this YouTube video, but
I highly can you check it out where basically he
kind of tracks this whole the whole autism scare that

(01:04:24):
was created by one doctor who has proven to be
a fucking quack by the medical community, and he made
up a bunch of a bunch of bullshit and there's
nothing at all the substantials. How dare you fucking use
people like my son to advance your shitty agenda? And
you know we talked the last time, you know, when
when one of the listeners asked like, hey, like what

(01:04:45):
can I do? What more can I do? And we said,
you do what you can. And you know, I mentioned
the fact that like, hey, like, I'm fortunate enough that,
you know, I'm in a position financially where I can
give money to causes that I want to. I don't
have to get out in the streets every day and
protest and that sort of thing. You want to get
me out in the fucking streets, This is how you're
gonna get me out in the fucking streets. Yeah, this
is the kind of shit that that you're gonna fucking do,

(01:05:06):
and and and and the final pin on it is
that again, RFK, speaking totally anecdotally from his experience and
people in his cohort. I don't I don't know anyone
my age that's severely autistic. Yeah, there's a reason for that.
It's because people who have severe autism, people who have

(01:05:26):
severe neurological disorders tend to also have shorter lifespans because
they can't take care of themselves in the same way,
because they can't communicate, you know, issue health issues that
they have or or they're resistant to it because they
have different tolerances of pain and things like that, and
so things that you and I would would have that

(01:05:47):
are wrong with our bodies that we would say, oh,
I need to go see a doctor, an autistic person
either might not realize that that's something needs to happen
or doesn't know how to effectively communicate that. So that
things that said that are that are diseases or illnesses
or or other internal issues that would normally be discovered
and treated for the neurotypical person. Autistic people that are

(01:06:08):
healthly autistic that are nonverbal can't do that, and so
they tend to live less long than neurotypical people, which
is a fucking tragedy. But you're gonna sit there and
be like, oh, like this is bullshit, made up, you know,
fucked up science, because I don't know anybody in my
seventies that's severely autistic. Fuck you, dude. I severely fucking

(01:06:29):
hope that you get what's coming to you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
I hope that you live up to the Kennedy name
in every way, shape and form. And you know what
I'm fucking referring to when I talk about that. Fuck
RFK Junior.
