Speaker 1 (00:14):
Cancel me. Huh No. Here's the thing about being canceled.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Man, it don't work if you don't care. As simple
as that. This is the Soapbox Champion Podcast. Sure is
(00:39):
Hello and welcome to that thing, The Soowbox Champion Podcast.
It's a it's a thing where I mostly talk about politics.
It seems kind of not on purpose, but it seems
to be what's out there. But uh, like current events,
I also love UFO stuff, cryptid stuff of course, the gaming,
TV and entertainment, pop culture, the words of things I enjoy.
(01:03):
You name it. This isn't so much podcast. It's a
it's a Dan variety show. I think I might start
referring to it as the variety Show. I don't know,
I don't know what I'm doing. I know what I'm
doing today, and it's episode one ninety four for Tuesday,
July fifteenth. My name is Craig Delaney. If I forgot
(01:23):
to tell you that, where do we start this week?
You guys, where do we start? Start? In the state
of California, Governor Gavin Newsom federal authorities rated two cannabis
farms owned by Glasshouse Brands Incorporated in Camarillo and Carpentiera,
(01:44):
California on Tuesday. During these raids, about two hundred individuals
were arrested, and at least ten migrant children, including eight
unaccompanied miners as young as fourteen, They were found working
at the Camerillo facility. The farms are now under investigation
for child labor violations, with authority citing potential exploitation, forced
(02:10):
labor and human trafficking. Right, remember that exploitation, forced labor,
human trafficking. The raids, of course, sparked protest. Everything sparks
protests these days, clashes with federal agents, and one reported
death of a worker who fell from a greenhouse while fleeing.
(02:30):
You see chaos. I heard the following on Fox News
on Friday, and for once, I think Fox got it right.
This is from the Fox show Outnumbered.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I was struck by the comments there by protesters. So
we're just out here to protect our people. Well, who's
protecting the American citizens from those that have been convicted
and charged with terrible crimes that we are trying to
get out of this country? And the concept of fascism
in its ugly head. It's so shocking when this is
just enforcement of federal laws. Late enforcement. Per William right,
(03:07):
it was stronger under Obama. But I'm not quite sure
why the protection isn't for those innocent victims in these communities, and.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Not even just the innocent victims in the communities who
are legal immigrants or American citizens.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Let's just talk.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
About to your point, David, the children who are apparently
being exploited working on a weed farm. Were these children
trafficked into this country by coyotes and smugglers? Where these
some of the three hundred thousand that are unaccounted for
That the Trump administration, by the way, is working hard
to identify and to bring home. We don't know, we.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Need to know.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
But when you talk about protecting people, how about the
people who are being exploited working for surf class labor
wages on these marijuana farms and elsewhere. You're protecting these
corporations who are hiring illegal alien labor and also suppressing
the wages of Americans and legal immigrants. But beyond that,
this is where the Democrat Party is now. They are
(04:03):
for those who break the law, not for those who
enforce it, the men and women who are doing their job.
Tom Holman has said it so many times, but it's
worth repeating Congress makes these laws. These men and women
are out simply enforcing them in doing their job, and
these are the ones that you're targeting. These are the
ones you're demonizing, calling the Gestapo the secret police. They
will not stop until we have an ice or federal
(04:24):
agent who.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Is seriously injured or murdered.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I hope that they would stop then, but I'm not
even sure that that's enough.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So right, at least this time, this instance and that
show so right? Who is protecting Americans trying to work
for a decent wage. Why would a US worker get
paid twenty dollars an hour when illegals will do it
for seven? You see how that works, Democrats, You see
how that works the left. The answer to your own
(04:54):
question is why can't we make a decent wage? Well,
partially illegal workers literally, they drove down wages and greed
and the fact that Americans are cheap now and don't
want to pay for quality. They would rather pay a
little for a larger amount of garbage, it seems. And
by the way, maybe a feel legal work that's keeping
(05:18):
wages down would have been eradicated well, and maybe all
the able bodied adults who think they just have to
be on federal government assistance, would need it because they
could work for a decent job for a decent wage. Again,
it's like the left are fighting to remain held down
and held back, like on purpose. And it's quite literally insane.
(05:40):
I argue with insane people online. I know it's my fault.
Why do I do it to myself? Well, it's fine,
finger on the bulls. They're insane. Hop out of a
little encouragement. How about a little help? How about that
rather than spend all your free time arguing with me
and about how everyone needs medicaid and everyone needs snap
(06:01):
benefits to survive and governor knew some and I don't look.
I don't give a shit if Trump likes him or not.
Trump doesn't tell me who to like or who to dislike,
or who to support and who whatever. I don't look
to Donald Trump for hughes took a look or like
or dislike people. I look for him to you know,
(06:23):
uh enforce uh laws. You know it's what they do.
You know you understand this, right, These aren't you know?
They should be role models. They should be and if
they act correctly, they can be. These politicians, most of
them don't. But you don't look at them for who
to like and dislike. You just don't. If you do,
(06:44):
you're silly. That's all. I hate people all by myself,
thank you very much. CNN doesn't tell me who to
like and who not to like, like Fox doesn't either.
But Newsom, he's a dirt bag. He's a terrible governor.
He's fake, he's crooked, full of craph so that you
get from his haircut. One look at politician with hair
(07:05):
like that, and I say, oh, that guy's crooked, fake
and full of crap. But I bet any governor would
be happy to hear that an illegal child labor camp
in their state got busted, right, Not Newsome? Not Newsome?
Remember what did I say? Remember later on exploitation, forced labor,
human trafficking, it sounds like Newsome prefers that.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
What do you think of the country?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Mistake from the out and saying he wants to protect
California farm workers from where he give him what you.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And this is what he does.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
He creates a problem and then he tries to be
a hero in his own Marvel movie? Did it on?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Tim?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Fill in a blank?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
On almost every topic creates the problem and.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Then tries to do a make believe.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
As if you're all perfect little sheep and you're going
to go on with it to be the hero in
his own Marvel movie. He initiated those raids. He significantly increased.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
This astra.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
He wants the National Guard.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of guards men and women
now being dispersed everywhere, sprinter vans, unmarked, people with masks,
running in, rolling over some case, running in two cars,
six month old kid, a three year old child in
the back.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Of the car left. So spare me, mister president. Thenny sincere.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
But if he is that happened because of you, If
he happened because of the American people, because they stood up,
and that should give us some optimism. Thank you all
very very much.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't really understand the last half of what he said,
but see what he did. He deflected everything away from him,
and of course he deflected right to Trump. Not upset
that there was an illegal labor camp, not upset that
there was illegal child labor an he thinks Trump created
the problem. Well, let's dissect it. Did Trump start an
(09:15):
illegal labor camp in California? No? Did Trump look the
other way? When there was illegal child labor.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Is the list of the President of the United States duties.
The very first line on that list is enforcing federal laws,
appointing key officials, and issuing executive orders to direct government operations.
The very first thing in the very first line their
duties enforce federal laws. It's all Trump's doing. If you
(09:46):
don't like that, then apparently you have a problem with
federal laws. And that's fine. You can change them, don't
illegally work around them. You know, Trump didn't create any problem.
You did by being a terrible governor. And every way
that I've ever found, all Trump do is is enforcing
the federal laws that you choose to ignore and maintain
(10:08):
to keep your cheap labor. You just heard governor of
California being upset on TV because an illegal child labor
marijuana farm got raided by immigration enforcement. That's what he's
upset about. You know, he got busted. Imagine being the
governor of a state where unoccupied miners are being trafficked
to work at weed farms, and your reaction isn't being
(10:30):
upset about child endangerment and possibly child trafficking, but rather
the optics of laws being enforced. It's almost as if
he's okay with it all. Well, he may have been
paid to be okay with all of that. Now there's
evidence suggesting a financial connection between Glasshouse Brands, the cannabis
(10:52):
farm rated for child labor violations, and Governor knw some
twenty eighteen gubernatorial campaign imagine this. According to California public
campaign finance records, Graham Farrer, co founder, president and board
of director of Glasshouse Farms, donated ten thousand dollars to
Newsom's campaign in twenty eighteen. Farrer also made contributions to
(11:15):
other California Democrats, including the Santa Barbara County Democrat Democratic
Central Committee and Representative Salud Carbajawal, as well as a
donation to assembly Member Greg Hart in July twenty twenty three.
Funny that a farm so cheap that they were willing
to break countless laws to ensure rock bottom illegal labor
(11:37):
would donate to people that are elected to run the
state of California and Santa Barbara County lawfully. Well, No
wonder Governor haircuts so upset about the raid. He's at
risk losing some future campaign cash. Maybe, But why is
he worried he is. He isn't on government assistance. You
are because of dirtbag trash politicians just like Newsom. Also,
(12:03):
I tell you what I keep thinking about in the
back of my head during all of this, and I've
been thinking about it and talked about on this podcast
in the past. The similarities and the parallels between the
Democrats' complete disregard of immigration laws to keep their cheap
labor force and how China treats its Weiger population are
way too spot on. If you don't remember, the Wigers
(12:28):
are a Turkic ethnic group primarily living in northwest China.
Since twenty fourteen, the Chinese government has faced accusations from
human rights to groups, Western governments and Weiger activists of
sub subjecting Wigers, estimated to be over one million people
and Xinjiang, to widespread persecution and forced labor. What I
(12:55):
think is the Democrats want their own Weiger class in
this country, and they're breaking federal laws and fighting to
keep it. Democrats create the problems and now are complaining
about the solutions. That's why they seemed dishonest whenever they
opened their mouth, and to the left voters, the Democrat
(13:15):
Party is not the party it used to be. It's
not the party you heard your family supporting when you
were growing up. It's not your grandpa's Democrat party. Get
out now. While you can't start your owner support another party.
It doesn't matter the current Democratic Party and the Democrats
are lost. And speaking of Democrats, Doctor Kevin O'Connor, former
(13:42):
President Joe Biden's White House physician, invoked his Fifth Amendment
right against self incrimination during a closed door deposition with
the White House Oversight Committee last Wednesday, that'd be July ninth.
The committee, led by Representative James Comer, was investigating allegations
of the cover up regarding Biden's cognitive health and mental
(14:03):
fitness during his presidency. O'Connor declined to answer all questions,
including whether he was ever told to lie about Biden's
health or believed Biden was unfit to execute his duties,
citing both physician patient privilege in the Fifth Amendment and
here I got the whole thing for you, chopped down
to the most important parts, and it's boring.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
There will be one staff council per side asking the
questions during each round, to the extent members have questions
for the witness they will be propounded during their size
respective rounds.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Do you understand.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
The advisive Council, I must respectfully decline to answer based
on the physician patient privilege and reliance on Am I
right under the fifth Amendment of the Constitution. I'm not
a lawyer and I must follow my lawyer's advice in
this matter.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
Questions, do you understand I'm.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
The advisive Council, I must respectfully declient to answer in
reliance Am I right under the fifth miniment of the
custom I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Not a lawyer.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
I must follow my lawyer's advice.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
In this matter slowly.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
Also, the court reporter cannot record nonverbal answers, such as
nodding or shaking your head, so it is important that
you answer each question with an audible verbal answer.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
You understand I'm the advisive Council. I must respectfully decline
to answer in reliance on my right under the fifth
minimum of the Constitution. I am not a lawyer, and
I must follow my lawyer's advice in this matter.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
In this deposition, do you understand on.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
The advisive council, I must respectfully decline to answer in
the reliance I'm right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
I am not a lawyer. I must follow my lawyer's
advice in this matter.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Let the record reflect the doctor O'Connor has invoked the
Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. Doctor O'Connor, please be
very clear. Are you declining to answer the question put
to you solely on the ground that you believe the
answer will incriminate you?
Speaker 10 (15:58):
On the advisive council, I must respect for me declined
to answer based upon the physician and patient privilege, and
in your alliance, I am i right on the fifth
Mindment of the Constitution. I am not a lawyer. I
must follow my lawyer's advice in this matter.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Doctor O'Connor, is that your intention to decline to answer
all questions put to you today by the Committee on
the basis of the Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination?
Speaker 10 (16:23):
On the advice of counsel, I must respectfully decline to
answer based upon the physician patient privilege and in reliance
on my right in the Fifth minimum of the Constitution.
I am not a lawyer, and I must follow my
lawyer's advice in this matter.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And we can tell you.
Speaker 10 (16:38):
That you will have the same answer with respect to
any questions that I asked.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
That was it. There's probably twenty more minutes of the
exact same thing. Doesn't look good, huh. His attorneys emphasized
that that did not imply guilt, but was due to
the committee's reeasal to limit the scope of questioning in
a concurrent Department of Justice in vetigate investigation ordered by
President Trump into Biden's been inl acuity and use of
(17:07):
the auto pin. Comer called O'Connor's refusal unprecedented and claimed
a fuel suspicions of a conspiracy to conceal Biden's cognitive decline.
And I'm with him. I'm with him. That doesn't look good.
You don't do that if you have zero to hide.
He absolutely has something to hide. What is it? Don't know.
(17:29):
He's not gonna tell us, so we're left to assume
he's got something to hide. But whatever, you know, it
absolutely does fuel those feelings of conspiracy and suspicions, right
especially after you know, for years, Democrats, the left, left
wing media, Jill Biden and everywhere else and everyone else
was talking every and every day, all opportunities to tell
(17:54):
us he was the best Biden. Ever, the guy's been
out of office for months, yet he still continues to
be the worst president in decades. Former CIA director John
Brennan is under Department of Justice scrutiny for potential perjury
related to his twenty seventeen congressional testimony about the Steal
(18:16):
Dossier's inclusion in the twenty sixteen is an Intelligence Community
Asset assessment. Brennan faces potential perjury charges. A declassified c
CIA reviewview allegedly shows he knowingly included the discredited dossier,
contradicting his testimony, and no formal charges have been filed
(18:40):
against Brennan as of July twelfth. Post on x indicate
about a thirty percent chance of prosecution due to legal
hurdles and kind of weak evidence. Brennan still denying knowledge
of politically based Department of Justice probes. Okay, fine, and
(19:00):
remember when James Comy posted a now deleted Instagram photo
of seashells around arranged to spell eighty six forty seven,
which was interpreted as a call to get rid of
or kill President Trump. Well, that genius is also behind
questioning by the FBI. The same FBI probe investigating Brennan
also focuses on whether Comy made false statements to Congress
(19:25):
regarding the FBI's handling of the investigation in the Russian
interference in the twenty sixteen election, and particularly the use
of the discredited steel Dostkier. You see, all the things
all of us were pointing out as it happened in
twenty sixteen are coming to light, just like all the
(19:46):
COVID stuff as it happened, and we called it out.
The US Food and Drug Administration now mandated updated warning
labels for the Pfizer and Modonna mRNA COVID nineteen vaccines
include information about the risk of myocarditis and paracarditis, especially
(20:06):
in males aged twelve to twenty four. The updates were
finalized in June, following letters sent to the manufacturers on
April seventeenth, and are based on new data from FDA
Safety Monitoring and a September twenty twenty four study. Remember
the term and the documentary died suddenly?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Not only was it in hundreds of headlines after the
COVID vaccine was introduced, but it also became that documentary
that everyone should watch. It's free, it's available online. Just
about anywhere. It's a good watch. It's creepy. I came
across a story online that I think is related to this,
(20:47):
and no, I really was not looking for something like this,
but by this time, this stuff just falls into your
lap when you go looking. It's a story. I told you,
it's random. From Channel four, a British public broadcast service,
from twenty twenty three, they had spoken to a mother
of Clarissa Nichols, really young college girl who yes died
(21:10):
suddenly while on a hiking trip. Clarissa was an athlete,
a runner. The part of the story that caught my
attention was at the end, as Channel four spoke with
pathologist Professor Mary Shepherd. Remember this was from November of
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Well, this is our entrance to our laboratory where we
actually handle all the hearts that come to us.
Speaker 11 (21:37):
Professor Mary Shepherd is a pathologist specializing in the kind
of heart conditions that caused sudden cardiac death in the young.
She examined Clarissa's heart after she died and discovered, unknown
to her, she had a fatal condition called a rhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
How long have we known about that particular abnormality.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Only really on a large level since the two thousand,
since the beginning of this century. When I was a
medical student, it was utterly unknown.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
We've seen figures that maybe there are twelve deaths of
young people a week. How common do you think this
kind of sudden cardiac death in the young is.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I would say, of young people under the age of
thirty five. If I was to say how many dies suddenly,
I'd say twenty per week.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
It would be my.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Estimate, so potentially almost twice as many as I hurry estimaty.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yes, that would be my estimate from talking to people
and families throughout the country who say, well, the case
was never referred to you or never referred for an
expert cardiac opinion.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
She said, when she was a med student, the condition
was almost unknown. But now at the time twenty twenty three,
she estimated twenty young people per week die suddenly from
heart related causes. The recent vaccine warning warns of myocarditis.
(23:05):
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, often caused
by infections like viruses and covids, autoimmune diseases, or rarely,
vaccine side effects. Huh. It's typically an acute condition, but
become chronic in rare cases. Cardio Myopathy is a disease
(23:27):
that affected affects the heart muscle structure, or functioning, leading
to impaired pumping ability. It's often chronic and can be
genetic caused by long term conditions as high pertension, diabetes,
or triggered by toxins, alcohol, or previous heart damage. Shepherd
(23:50):
was talking about this cardiomyopathy in my brain, said, could
cardiomyopathy be related to the vaccine? Well, it can be
triggered by toxins the vaccine, maybe, And I say maybe,
but not likely. So just forget that previous heart damage.
(24:10):
Now there's something the new warnings are for mile carditis
inflammation of the heart. Well, there's your previous heart damage.
Professor Shepherd was warning of cardio myopathy in twenty twenty three.
Remember the COVID vaccine was introduced and almost forced on
the world in twenty twenty, just three years before Professor
(24:35):
Shepherd started seeing a massive rise in cardio myopathy deaths
in young people. You think that's a coincidence, coincidence?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I think not.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Hey, remember when the pandemic death got so bad that
all those doctors and nurses had all that time to
make those dance videos in an empty hospital hallway. I
do and I won't forget. Uh something I want to forget.
This is the twenty twenty five Nathan's Famous hot Dog
Eating contest. I saw it on TV and it's gross.
(25:08):
It was held July fourth at Nathan's famous original restaurant
on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island, Brooklyn,
New York. Joey Chestnut won the men's competition with seventy
and a half hot dogs and buns, reclaiming the Mustard
Belt after a twenty twenty four band Mike Pseudo. Her
(25:30):
Miky Pseudo won the women's competition with thirty three hot
dogs and buns, securing her eleventh title. No protests reported,
but at the twenty twenty two Nathan's Hot Dog Eating
contest in Coney Island, animal rights activists from Direct Action
Everywhere they Go by DX disrupted the event to protest
(25:52):
protest Smithfield's Foods, a pork supplier for Nathan's, referring to
its Circle Fourth Arms in Utah as the death Star.
The protests carried signs reading exposed Smithfield's death Star and
wore Star Wars themed masks you know, Darth Vader Stormtroopers.
The key individuals Scott Gilbertson, a twenty one year old
(26:15):
activists from Berkeley, California. He wore a Darth Vader mask.
He was put in a choke hold by competitor Joey
Chestnut after nudging him on stage. Gilbertson was charged with
criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, and harassment. It was later released.
He described Chestnut's reaction as unnecessary, but acknowledged the protest
(26:37):
goal to highlight animal cruelty at Smithfield's farm. Also Robert Yamada,
forty two year old from Phoenix, Joshua Markson thirty one
from Santa Clare, California. They were all charged with criminal trespass,
disorderly context conduct. These protest reference Operation Death Star. Remember
(27:00):
twenty fifteen DX investigation that documented poor conditions Smithfields Farms,
Utah Farm, including gestation crates and dead piglets, gross leading
to a felony charge against activists for rescuing two piglets
and all of it. I can't say it enough gross,
including the contest, but not Nathan's hot dogs. They are
(27:23):
arguably the best hot dogs on the market consumer market
grosser yet Blackrock owns three point four to four percent
shares of Nathan's Famous The makers of Nathan's hot Dogs,
they touch everything, and now it's time for sports. One
(27:44):
of the most inspiring sports stories is that of Jesse
Owens in the nineteen thirty six Berlin Olympics. In the
lead up to the games, Adolf Hitler, a Nazi regime
We're using the Olympics as propaganda tool to showcase their
ideology of a supremacy. They believed that the quote unquote
Aryan athletes would dominate the competition, proving their racial superiority.
(28:09):
Jesse Owens, an African American track and field athlete from
the US, arrived in Berlin facing not only the pressure
of international competition, but also the weight of racial prejudice
both at home and abroad. Despite the hostile environment and
Hitler's refusal to acknowledge him, Owens proceeded to deliver one
of the most astonishing performances in Olympic history. He won
(28:34):
four gold medals in the one hundred meter, two hundred
meter long jump in the four by one hundred meter relay.
Each victory was a direct refutation of Nazi propaganda his
triumph that was a powerful symbol of individuals excellence overcoming
hateful ideology. But perhaps the most memorable moment came in
(28:56):
the long jump. Owens had fouled on his first two
attempts and was in danger of not qualifying for the finals,
and according to legend and widely reported accounts, a German
competitor named Louse Long, a tall, blonde, blue eyed arian
who was the European record holder in Hitler's Favorite Athlete,
(29:18):
approached Owens. Long, despite the political climate and the expectation
placed upon him by his own government, offered Owens advice
on how to adjust his takeoff to avoid fouling. Owens
followed that advice, and then he qualified, and then he
ultimately won the gold medal, with Long taking silver. What
(29:43):
makes this more remarkable is that Long was the first
to congratulate Owens publicly embracing him in front of US
don Nazi officials in the world. The act of sportsmanship
and defiance of racist ideology formed and enduring friendship between
the two men, which they maintained through letters until Long's
(30:03):
death in World War Two. Jesse Owen's performance in the
nineteen thirty six Olympic wasn't just about athletic achievement, you guys.
It was profound and it was a human story of courage, resilience,
and the power of sport to transcend political and racial
divides and delivered a resounding blow to one of the
(30:25):
most hateful ideologies in history. That's sports. What about this
week's quote of the week? Okay, another sports related thing.
The quote is quote it's not whether you get knocked down,
(30:46):
it's whether you get up end quote. Now, I bet
you don't know who said it, and I bet you've
heard ninety eight versions of this exact same quote. But
that's the original, and that was by Vince Lombardi, legendary
football coach. And you know what's next? You know the rules? No,
not yet. I do what I want to do here,
(31:09):
you guys, this is my show. I do what I want.
You don't know what's next, folks. It's been one year
since President Donald Trump was shot. One year. It's been
sixty one years, seven months and twenty four days since
Kennedy was assassinated. We've heard about it NonStop. There have
(31:30):
been endless documentaries. Everyone with the YouTube channel has re
enacted the shot. It was a whole day in school.
There's a whole Seinfeld episode that references this in the
film President Ronald Reagan was shot, survived, and was fine.
I've seen the video a thousand times. I can tell
you the haircuts of the Secret Service agents, and I
(31:53):
can tell you the making model of the firearms the
Secret Service had and pulled out after they drew in
defensive Reagan as they were shoving him in the car.
We've heard nothing and know nothing about the Trump assassination attempt.
He was shot in the ear on live TV crickets.
(32:19):
The Secret Service knew about the threat ten days in advance.
They did not relay the threat to any local law
enforcement agent in charge of identifying of the vulnerabilities knew
about it. The Secret Service first role is to secure
the outdoor rally. The Secret Services drone wasn't working. Their
(32:43):
drone operator only had one hour of training on the
drone and it took the agent one hour to fix it.
The gunman, and you can't tell me his name right now,
before you look it up or think about it, I
know you can't, was flying his own drone over the
rally area. Gunman's name was Thomas Crooks. Thomas Matthew Crooks
(33:05):
born September twentieth, two thousand and three in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
Graduated from Bethel Park High School in twenty twenty two,
earned an associate's degree in engineering science from the Community
College of Alleghany County in May of twenty twenty four,
and was accepted in the University of Pittsburgh and Robert
Morris University for further studies, but for some reason worked
(33:28):
as a dietary aid at Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and
Rehabilitation Center. He was registered as a Republican voter in
September twenty twenty one, when he turned eighteen, but he
made a fifteen dollars donation to the Progressive Turnout Project,
a Democrat aligned pack on January twentieth to twenty twenty one.
(33:49):
No manifesto, no explicit explanation of his motive was ever
found or revealed, and he's had almost non existent digital footprints. Somehow,
it's almost impossible these days. He attempted to join his
high school's rifle team, but was rejected due to poor
(34:10):
shooting skills. Crooks fired eight shots from a rifle from
a rooftop one hundred and fifty yards from the stage
of the Trump rally and hit Trump in the ear.
The attack wounded Trump's ear and actually killed one spectator.
Spectator's name was Corey Comperhentore and critically injured. To others
(34:33):
David Dutch and James Copenhaveer. Crooks was killed by a
Secret Service counter sniper moments after opening fire. Bomb making
materials were found in his vehicle and home, and a
remote detonator was on his body, though the explosive devices
were poorly constructed and not functional. His home was spotless
(34:56):
and almost surgical room clean and their there were no
eating utensils in his home. He had researched mass shooters,
including the search for how far was Oswald from Kennedy
and about a week before the attack, and visited the
rally site in advance. Just hours after he was killed,
(35:18):
the FBI literally hosed down the crime scene. There's a
video of it. The FBI released his body just ten
days after the crime. It wasn't a closed investigation yet,
but they released it anyway. In the family immediately cremated Crooks.
This is what I know. I found and compiled this
(35:42):
on my own because there was no FBI report on
the attempted assassination. There was no press conference, there was
no nothing. There's never been a final report. They said
he'd been speaking to someone using three encrypted messaging apps,
but no specified witch apps, and that's just the end
(36:02):
of it. He supposedly acted alone, but he had two
vehicles at the rally. Onlookers told law enforcement about crooks
being on the roof with a rifle, and they did nothing.
There were ninety six Trump rallies. In twenty twenty four,
(36:24):
CNN aired the one in Butler Live. Okay, now it's
time for sugar. We can talk about movies and film
documentaries on here, at least I can. I love it
(36:46):
all drama, horror, comedy, my favorite being a good documentary.
But if we talk about comedies for more than five minutes,
no matter how old I get, you will probably hear
me mention. Ernest goes to Camp, hear me Out. The
nineteen eighty seven comedy film starred Jim Varney as Ernest p. Worrel,
(37:08):
the bumbling but well meaning camp handyman who becomes a counselor.
Victoria Roshimo as Nurse Saint Cloud, a kind nurse at
camp and granddaughter of Chief Saint Cloud. John Vernon as
Sherman Crater, the ruthless head of the mining corporation that
(37:29):
was going to destroy the camp. Lyle Alzado as Bronk Stenson,
the tough fore man foreman working for creator. Iron Eyed
Cody as old Indian Chief Saint Cloud, the camp owner,
noted as his final film appearance, by the way, and yeah,
(37:50):
that was his name. Iron Eyes Cody Gaillard Sartaine as
Jake quirky camp chef, and Daniel but Learns Eddie, Jake's
fellow camp counselor and assistant chef. One of my favorite
comedies of all time, and following is my favorite scene
(38:11):
from this movie. This is a solid minute and a
half of comedy. In one scene, it's Jake and Eddie,
the camp cooks, forcing Ernest to try their concoction they
call eggs erroneous.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Edie, if you don't stir, it'll clot on something burning. Here.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
Look you got for you, fan, Jake's specialty du jure
eggs erroneous. It's made with pounded eggs and seventeen herbs
and spices smuggled into this country by to Bethan monks.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
Ernest, I want you to cut yourself a big knock
out of these eggs.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Erroneous. No, I can't eat on Nye's stomach.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Of course you can.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Eddie doesn't look at that, Rosie glow to his teeth.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
No, oh, come on here, No now, Ernest, would somebody
dressed like this lie to you about food?
Speaker 12 (39:06):
Fond as I am a Tibetan cooking, A hungry lion
hunts bens.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Know what I mean? Now, come on, take you to
go back?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
No, come on, no open bee, No.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
Come on, no Earnest, no Earnest, no Earnest, No, Eddie,
it's time for the plane to go.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
The hangar.
Speaker 9 (39:28):
Out.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Oh, rabbit over, rabbit. We could use a rabbit. Rabbit,
that's it. A rabbit, a big rabbit with frvard socks.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Fond as I am about Tibetan cooking, he said, hilarious.
The film also featured young actors like a Keem Abdul Samad,
Patrick Day, Scott Menville, Jacob Vargas, Danny Capri, and Richard
Spike Junior, all as juvenile delinquent campers that arrived on
a bus, along with other supporting actors like Larry Black
(40:15):
as mister Tipton, the head counselor. But as gold as
this film is from start to finish, there was truly
the one star that was Jim Varney. Varney was born
June fifteenth in nineteen forty nine. He passed away February tenth,
two thousand. He was an American actor, comedian, and writer,
(40:39):
best known for his role as Ernest P. Warrel. That
character is a lovable, bumbling character he played in numerous
films and TV commercials. Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Varney began
his career in stand up comedy and theater before gaining
fame through a nineteen eighties advertising campaign for a Tennessee
(40:59):
and amusement park, where he first portrayed Earnest. His breakout
role was in Arnest Goes to Camp nineteen eighty seven,
which led to an entire series of nine Earnest films,
including Earnest Saves Christmas nineteen eighty eight, Ernest Scared Stupid
nineteen ninety one, Ernest Goes to Jail in nineteen ninety.
(41:22):
You get It. Varney slapstick humor, expressive face, and distinctive
Southern draw made Earnest a cultural icon of the nineteen
eighties and nineties. He also appeared in non Earnest roles,
such as Jed Clampett in the Beverly Hill Billies film
from ninety three, and voiced Slinky Dog in Toy Story
(41:42):
in nineteen ninety five and Toy Story two in ninety nine.
Varney was a versatile performer, skilled and improvisation and character work,
but he struggled with type casting due to Ernest's popularity.
He was also a chain smoker, which led to his
diagnosis of lung cancer in nineteen ninety eight. Varney passed
(42:06):
away in two thousand at the age of fifty, leaving
a legacy of family friendly comedy and memorable characters. As
addicted to nicotine and cigarettes as he was, Varney never
smoked in front of children and was never seen smoking
in any of his films. He insisted, what's my second favorite,
(42:28):
Jim Varney seeing you ask? Oh, well, that would be
from the film Ernest Goes to Jail from nineteen ninety
It's a scene Varney is disguised as an old woman
that he does from time to time. Hilarious She quote
unquote looking for her son, complete with the hunched over
posture over an old aluminum walker, a sweater draped over
(42:49):
the shoulders, horn rimmed glasses complete with the chain attached
to the earpieces, and a neck brace.
Speaker 12 (42:56):
For some reason, these steps might as well be Mount Everest.
Speaker 11 (43:04):
Well when he said that, I was just sharp, hold
on a second, hunt, Superior Talent Incorporated.
Speaker 12 (43:09):
Marty Brock is my second born son, without a slivery
of gratitude, who wouldn't even pick up his own mother
at the airport. I'm only glad his father never lived
to see the day when his son would treat his
own mother this way. Me a lonely old woman forced
to cope in a world of indifference.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Hold on just a minute.
Speaker 12 (43:31):
Where is he? Where is Martin? I need him to
help me with my will. Having walked from the airport,
I'll be dead soon.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I don't know what to do. He's with a client.
That's life for you.
Speaker 12 (43:43):
You have two sons, one good, one bad, and wouldn't
you know it was my luck?
Speaker 5 (43:50):
A good one dies, but missus Brock, I'm sure he
didn't know you were coming.
Speaker 12 (43:55):
Don't side with him, honey, there's no future in it.
Just tell me where he is.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Hilarious. I will never not laugh at that scene. It's
a lot visual. I'd go find it if you can.
You can just find that scene on YouTube. There's a
they've taken it out because it's hilarious. The strangest film
of his that I've seen has to be one called
Doctor Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam from
(44:25):
nineteen eighty six. Starts out as Varney as Ernest. When
Ernest tries out a strange contraption he bought cheaply called
the Changing Coffin, the machine turns him into his opposite,
a mad scientist and supervillain bent on a world domination.
(44:45):
Is supervillain alter ego. It's called Doctor Auto. He plans
to Loom to use his gloom Beam to render all
the computers that keep people's financial records and bank accounts useless,
which wouldn't make him the only one access to all
that dough. Bumbling hero Lance Sterling and his cautious psydekick
(45:06):
Doris are sent to Doctor Otto's layer to stop him. There,
they must face various scary alter egos of Doctor Otto,
as well as his manservant Willie the Robot. It currently
sits at a stinky thirty seven percent on rotten tomatoes,
and that's just viewers like the uh you know, there's
(45:30):
two tomato meters. There's the audience score, in the critics score.
There's not even a critic score to Doctor Otto in
the Riddle of the Gloom Beam, which is a travesty
and it's sad. I get it. It wasn't his best film,
but if you're a Jim Varney fan, I would recommend it.
Now I'll watch it again. Also, Varney plays I can't remember,
(45:55):
I want to say, twelve or thirteen characters in that
one movie. Like it's it's a plain Jane strange movie. Okay,
it just is. But one thing that makes it strange
is it keeps cutting to different scenes that are almost
like entirely different movies into themselves, where Varney is playing
a character in every one of those scenes, and he
(46:19):
kills his performance in every one of them. That thirty
seven percent doesn't come from Varney's acting. I promise you
that it comes from the movie as a whole. It's
just not it's just too strange to be accepted. I
think nineteen eighty six Doctor Auto and the Riddle of
the Gloom Beam. If you can find it, watch it.
(46:39):
If you can buy it, buy it, send it to me.
Let me know. Uh, thirty seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
That's bull crap. It's a solid forty five or fifty.
I'm not kidding. Uh. There's a there's a review on
IMDb that I think it explains it perfectly, just like
I said. The title of the review is bad movie,
(47:02):
great scenes, and the review says, as far as stories go,
it seems like the writers could only pass a kindergarten
story writing class. The plot, Doctor odell Otto wants to
destroy the world, that's all. However, what you get is
the brilliance of Jim Varney. Not as earnest for ninety minutes.
I'll be first admit to that being a hard challenge,
(47:25):
but Jim portraying a variety of other characters that we
only get glimpses of in other movies and his TV series.
He's brilliant as he throws himself into these wild, wacky characters.
Think of it as a bunch of ten to twenty
minute short films, each with a different lead character by
Varney and each around a central theme that were spliced together.
(47:47):
Each short fairy self contained. It's much easier to watch
this movie when you think of it like that. That's
the review. It's pretty much what I said about it too,
And it's true. It sounds like I'm crapping on this movie.
I'm not. I'm just being honest. It's good. If you
want to see some great characters acting, or at least
(48:10):
Jim Varty not playing Ernest, definitely watch this movie if
you can find it. That's how that quote, that's how
that review ends. But the earnest films, I think, or
whateveryone remembers from Varney, and that's all right. The Earnest
series of movies paved what I imagine to have been
a successful road for Jim Varney, and I'm glad I
(48:31):
was the right age to take the trip with him.
And that's why Jim Varney is this week's sugar. And
that wraps up Episode one ninety four The Soapbox Champion Podcast,
The Variety Podcast. Not bad, huh, it was? It was bad.

take care of yourself and one another until we talk
again next Tuesday. And I'll see that.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
I use colored damn right.
Speaker 7 (50:04):
So you look at a red dot and it appears blurry, well,
you might have an a stigmatism or maybe the radical
just sucks.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
It sucks.
Speaker 7 (50:12):
So a quick, easy test is to actually pull out
a red dot and if you look at the red
dot and let's say in this case it appears blurry, well,
it might be the optic or it might be an
a stigmatism. The quickest way to tell is if you
pull out your phone, and you pull out your camera
and you take a picture of the radical itself, does
it display different on the phone versus what you actually
(50:33):
see when you look.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
Through the optic same, same, but different.
Speaker 7 (50:38):
And if it does, then you have an a stigmatism.
If it doesn't, then it's actually just a manufacturing defect
in the red dot itself. So at the end of
the day, trust your phone, not your eyeball.
Cancel me. Huh No. Here's the thing about being canceled.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Man, it don't work if you don't care. As simple
as that. This is the Soapbox Champion Podcast. Sure is
(00:39):
Hello and welcome to that thing, The Soowbox Champion Podcast.
It's a it's a thing where I mostly talk about politics.
It seems kind of not on purpose, but it seems
to be what's out there. But uh, like current events,
I also love UFO stuff, cryptid stuff of course, the gaming,
TV and entertainment, pop culture, the words of things I enjoy.
(01:03):
You name it. This isn't so much podcast. It's a
it's a Dan variety show. I think I might start
referring to it as the variety Show. I don't know,
I don't know what I'm doing. I know what I'm
doing today, and it's episode one ninety four for Tuesday,
July fifteenth. My name is Craig Delaney. If I forgot
(01:23):
to tell you that, where do we start this week?
You guys, where do we start? Start? In the state
of California, Governor Gavin Newsom federal authorities rated two cannabis
farms owned by Glasshouse Brands Incorporated in Camarillo and Carpentiera,
(01:44):
California on Tuesday. During these raids, about two hundred individuals
were arrested, and at least ten migrant children, including eight
unaccompanied miners as young as fourteen, They were found working
at the Camerillo facility. The farms are now under investigation
for child labor violations, with authority citing potential exploitation, forced
(02:10):
labor and human trafficking. Right, remember that exploitation, forced labor,
human trafficking. The raids, of course, sparked protest. Everything sparks
protests these days, clashes with federal agents, and one reported
death of a worker who fell from a greenhouse while fleeing.
(02:30):
You see chaos. I heard the following on Fox News
on Friday, and for once, I think Fox got it right.
This is from the Fox show Outnumbered.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I was struck by the comments there by protesters. So
we're just out here to protect our people. Well, who's
protecting the American citizens from those that have been convicted
and charged with terrible crimes that we are trying to
get out of this country? And the concept of fascism
in its ugly head. It's so shocking when this is
just enforcement of federal laws. Late enforcement. Per William right,
(03:07):
it was stronger under Obama. But I'm not quite sure
why the protection isn't for those innocent victims in these communities, and.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Not even just the innocent victims in the communities who
are legal immigrants or American citizens.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Let's just talk.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
About to your point, David, the children who are apparently
being exploited working on a weed farm. Were these children
trafficked into this country by coyotes and smugglers? Where these
some of the three hundred thousand that are unaccounted for
That the Trump administration, by the way, is working hard
to identify and to bring home. We don't know, we.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Need to know.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
But when you talk about protecting people, how about the
people who are being exploited working for surf class labor
wages on these marijuana farms and elsewhere. You're protecting these
corporations who are hiring illegal alien labor and also suppressing
the wages of Americans and legal immigrants. But beyond that,
this is where the Democrat Party is now. They are
(04:03):
for those who break the law, not for those who
enforce it, the men and women who are doing their job.
Tom Holman has said it so many times, but it's
worth repeating Congress makes these laws. These men and women
are out simply enforcing them in doing their job, and
these are the ones that you're targeting. These are the
ones you're demonizing, calling the Gestapo the secret police. They
will not stop until we have an ice or federal
(04:24):
agent who.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Is seriously injured or murdered.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I hope that they would stop then, but I'm not
even sure that that's enough.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So right, at least this time, this instance and that
show so right? Who is protecting Americans trying to work
for a decent wage. Why would a US worker get
paid twenty dollars an hour when illegals will do it
for seven? You see how that works, Democrats, You see
how that works the left. The answer to your own
(04:54):
question is why can't we make a decent wage? Well,
partially illegal workers literally, they drove down wages and greed
and the fact that Americans are cheap now and don't
want to pay for quality. They would rather pay a
little for a larger amount of garbage, it seems. And
by the way, maybe a feel legal work that's keeping
(05:18):
wages down would have been eradicated well, and maybe all
the able bodied adults who think they just have to
be on federal government assistance, would need it because they
could work for a decent job for a decent wage. Again,
it's like the left are fighting to remain held down
and held back, like on purpose. And it's quite literally insane.
(05:40):
I argue with insane people online. I know it's my fault.
Why do I do it to myself? Well, it's fine,
finger on the bulls. They're insane. Hop out of a
little encouragement. How about a little help? How about that
rather than spend all your free time arguing with me
and about how everyone needs medicaid and everyone needs snap
(06:01):
benefits to survive and governor knew some and I don't look.
I don't give a shit if Trump likes him or not.
Trump doesn't tell me who to like or who to dislike,
or who to support and who whatever. I don't look
to Donald Trump for hughes took a look or like
or dislike people. I look for him to you know,
(06:23):
uh enforce uh laws. You know it's what they do.
You know you understand this, right, These aren't you know?
They should be role models. They should be and if
they act correctly, they can be. These politicians, most of
them don't. But you don't look at them for who
to like and dislike. You just don't. If you do,
(06:44):
you're silly. That's all. I hate people all by myself,
thank you very much. CNN doesn't tell me who to
like and who not to like, like Fox doesn't either.
But Newsom, he's a dirt bag. He's a terrible governor.
He's fake, he's crooked, full of craph so that you
get from his haircut. One look at politician with hair
(07:05):
like that, and I say, oh, that guy's crooked, fake
and full of crap. But I bet any governor would
be happy to hear that an illegal child labor camp
in their state got busted, right, Not Newsome? Not Newsome?
Remember what did I say? Remember later on exploitation, forced labor,
human trafficking, it sounds like Newsome prefers that.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
What do you think of the country?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Mistake from the out and saying he wants to protect
California farm workers from where he give him what you.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And this is what he does.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
He creates a problem and then he tries to be
a hero in his own Marvel movie? Did it on?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Tim?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Fill in a blank?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
On almost every topic creates the problem and.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Then tries to do a make believe.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
As if you're all perfect little sheep and you're going
to go on with it to be the hero in
his own Marvel movie. He initiated those raids. He significantly increased.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
This astra.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
He wants the National Guard.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of guards men and women
now being dispersed everywhere, sprinter vans, unmarked, people with masks,
running in, rolling over some case, running in two cars,
six month old kid, a three year old child in
the back.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Of the car left. So spare me, mister president. Thenny sincere.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
But if he is that happened because of you, If
he happened because of the American people, because they stood up,
and that should give us some optimism. Thank you all
very very much.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I don't really understand the last half of what he said,
but see what he did. He deflected everything away from him,
and of course he deflected right to Trump. Not upset
that there was an illegal labor camp, not upset that
there was illegal child labor an he thinks Trump created
the problem. Well, let's dissect it. Did Trump start an
(09:15):
illegal labor camp in California? No? Did Trump look the
other way? When there was illegal child labor.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Is the list of the President of the United States duties.
The very first line on that list is enforcing federal laws,
appointing key officials, and issuing executive orders to direct government operations.
The very first thing in the very first line their
duties enforce federal laws. It's all Trump's doing. If you
(09:46):
don't like that, then apparently you have a problem with
federal laws. And that's fine. You can change them, don't
illegally work around them. You know, Trump didn't create any problem.
You did by being a terrible governor. And every way
that I've ever found, all Trump do is is enforcing
the federal laws that you choose to ignore and maintain
(10:08):
to keep your cheap labor. You just heard governor of
California being upset on TV because an illegal child labor
marijuana farm got raided by immigration enforcement. That's what he's
upset about. You know, he got busted. Imagine being the
governor of a state where unoccupied miners are being trafficked
to work at weed farms, and your reaction isn't being
(10:30):
upset about child endangerment and possibly child trafficking, but rather
the optics of laws being enforced. It's almost as if
he's okay with it all. Well, he may have been
paid to be okay with all of that. Now there's
evidence suggesting a financial connection between Glasshouse Brands, the cannabis
(10:52):
farm rated for child labor violations, and Governor knw some
twenty eighteen gubernatorial campaign imagine this. According to California public
campaign finance records, Graham Farrer, co founder, president and board
of director of Glasshouse Farms, donated ten thousand dollars to
Newsom's campaign in twenty eighteen. Farrer also made contributions to
(11:15):
other California Democrats, including the Santa Barbara County Democrat Democratic
Central Committee and Representative Salud Carbajawal, as well as a
donation to assembly Member Greg Hart in July twenty twenty three.
Funny that a farm so cheap that they were willing
to break countless laws to ensure rock bottom illegal labor
(11:37):
would donate to people that are elected to run the
state of California and Santa Barbara County lawfully. Well, No
wonder Governor haircuts so upset about the raid. He's at
risk losing some future campaign cash. Maybe, But why is
he worried he is. He isn't on government assistance. You
are because of dirtbag trash politicians just like Newsom. Also,
(12:03):
I tell you what I keep thinking about in the
back of my head during all of this, and I've
been thinking about it and talked about on this podcast
in the past. The similarities and the parallels between the
Democrats' complete disregard of immigration laws to keep their cheap
labor force and how China treats its Weiger population are
way too spot on. If you don't remember, the Wigers
(12:28):
are a Turkic ethnic group primarily living in northwest China.
Since twenty fourteen, the Chinese government has faced accusations from
human rights to groups, Western governments and Weiger activists of
sub subjecting Wigers, estimated to be over one million people
and Xinjiang, to widespread persecution and forced labor. What I
(12:55):
think is the Democrats want their own Weiger class in
this country, and they're breaking federal laws and fighting to
keep it. Democrats create the problems and now are complaining
about the solutions. That's why they seemed dishonest whenever they
opened their mouth, and to the left voters, the Democrat
(13:15):
Party is not the party it used to be. It's
not the party you heard your family supporting when you
were growing up. It's not your grandpa's Democrat party. Get
out now. While you can't start your owner support another party.
It doesn't matter the current Democratic Party and the Democrats
are lost. And speaking of Democrats, Doctor Kevin O'Connor, former
(13:42):
President Joe Biden's White House physician, invoked his Fifth Amendment
right against self incrimination during a closed door deposition with
the White House Oversight Committee last Wednesday, that'd be July ninth.
The committee, led by Representative James Comer, was investigating allegations
of the cover up regarding Biden's cognitive health and mental
(14:03):
fitness during his presidency. O'Connor declined to answer all questions,
including whether he was ever told to lie about Biden's
health or believed Biden was unfit to execute his duties,
citing both physician patient privilege in the Fifth Amendment and
here I got the whole thing for you, chopped down
to the most important parts, and it's boring.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
There will be one staff council per side asking the
questions during each round, to the extent members have questions
for the witness they will be propounded during their size
respective rounds.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Do you understand.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
The advisive Council, I must respectfully decline to answer based
on the physician patient privilege and reliance on Am I
right under the fifth Amendment of the Constitution. I'm not
a lawyer and I must follow my lawyer's advice in
this matter.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
Questions, do you understand I'm.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
The advisive Council, I must respectfully declient to answer in
reliance Am I right under the fifth miniment of the
custom I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Not a lawyer.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
I must follow my lawyer's advice.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
In this matter slowly.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
Also, the court reporter cannot record nonverbal answers, such as
nodding or shaking your head, so it is important that
you answer each question with an audible verbal answer.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
You understand I'm the advisive Council. I must respectfully decline
to answer in reliance on my right under the fifth
minimum of the Constitution. I am not a lawyer, and
I must follow my lawyer's advice in this matter.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
In this deposition, do you understand on.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
The advisive council, I must respectfully decline to answer in
the reliance I'm right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
I am not a lawyer. I must follow my lawyer's
advice in this matter.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Let the record reflect the doctor O'Connor has invoked the
Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. Doctor O'Connor, please be
very clear. Are you declining to answer the question put
to you solely on the ground that you believe the
answer will incriminate you?
Speaker 10 (15:58):
On the advisive council, I must respect for me declined
to answer based upon the physician and patient privilege, and
in your alliance, I am i right on the fifth
Mindment of the Constitution. I am not a lawyer. I
must follow my lawyer's advice in this matter.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Doctor O'Connor, is that your intention to decline to answer
all questions put to you today by the Committee on
the basis of the Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination?
Speaker 10 (16:23):
On the advice of counsel, I must respectfully decline to
answer based upon the physician patient privilege and in reliance
on my right in the Fifth minimum of the Constitution.
I am not a lawyer, and I must follow my
lawyer's advice in this matter.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And we can tell you.
Speaker 10 (16:38):
That you will have the same answer with respect to
any questions that I asked.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
That was it. There's probably twenty more minutes of the
exact same thing. Doesn't look good, huh. His attorneys emphasized
that that did not imply guilt, but was due to
the committee's reeasal to limit the scope of questioning in
a concurrent Department of Justice in vetigate investigation ordered by
President Trump into Biden's been inl acuity and use of
(17:07):
the auto pin. Comer called O'Connor's refusal unprecedented and claimed
a fuel suspicions of a conspiracy to conceal Biden's cognitive decline.
And I'm with him. I'm with him. That doesn't look good.
You don't do that if you have zero to hide.
He absolutely has something to hide. What is it? Don't know.
(17:29):
He's not gonna tell us, so we're left to assume
he's got something to hide. But whatever, you know, it
absolutely does fuel those feelings of conspiracy and suspicions, right
especially after you know, for years, Democrats, the left, left
wing media, Jill Biden and everywhere else and everyone else
was talking every and every day, all opportunities to tell
(17:54):
us he was the best Biden. Ever, the guy's been
out of office for months, yet he still continues to
be the worst president in decades. Former CIA director John
Brennan is under Department of Justice scrutiny for potential perjury
related to his twenty seventeen congressional testimony about the Steal
(18:16):
Dossier's inclusion in the twenty sixteen is an Intelligence Community
Asset assessment. Brennan faces potential perjury charges. A declassified c
CIA reviewview allegedly shows he knowingly included the discredited dossier,
contradicting his testimony, and no formal charges have been filed
(18:40):
against Brennan as of July twelfth. Post on x indicate
about a thirty percent chance of prosecution due to legal
hurdles and kind of weak evidence. Brennan still denying knowledge
of politically based Department of Justice probes. Okay, fine, and
(19:00):
remember when James Comy posted a now deleted Instagram photo
of seashells around arranged to spell eighty six forty seven,
which was interpreted as a call to get rid of
or kill President Trump. Well, that genius is also behind
questioning by the FBI. The same FBI probe investigating Brennan
also focuses on whether Comy made false statements to Congress
(19:25):
regarding the FBI's handling of the investigation in the Russian
interference in the twenty sixteen election, and particularly the use
of the discredited steel Dostkier. You see, all the things
all of us were pointing out as it happened in
twenty sixteen are coming to light, just like all the
(19:46):
COVID stuff as it happened, and we called it out.
The US Food and Drug Administration now mandated updated warning
labels for the Pfizer and Modonna mRNA COVID nineteen vaccines
include information about the risk of myocarditis and paracarditis, especially
(20:06):
in males aged twelve to twenty four. The updates were
finalized in June, following letters sent to the manufacturers on
April seventeenth, and are based on new data from FDA
Safety Monitoring and a September twenty twenty four study. Remember
the term and the documentary died suddenly?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Not only was it in hundreds of headlines after the
COVID vaccine was introduced, but it also became that documentary
that everyone should watch. It's free, it's available online. Just
about anywhere. It's a good watch. It's creepy. I came
across a story online that I think is related to this,
(20:47):
and no, I really was not looking for something like this,
but by this time, this stuff just falls into your
lap when you go looking. It's a story. I told you,
it's random. From Channel four, a British public broadcast service,
from twenty twenty three, they had spoken to a mother
of Clarissa Nichols, really young college girl who yes died
(21:10):
suddenly while on a hiking trip. Clarissa was an athlete,
a runner. The part of the story that caught my
attention was at the end, as Channel four spoke with
pathologist Professor Mary Shepherd. Remember this was from November of
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Well, this is our entrance to our laboratory where we
actually handle all the hearts that come to us.
Speaker 11 (21:37):
Professor Mary Shepherd is a pathologist specializing in the kind
of heart conditions that caused sudden cardiac death in the young.
She examined Clarissa's heart after she died and discovered, unknown
to her, she had a fatal condition called a rhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
How long have we known about that particular abnormality.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Only really on a large level since the two thousand,
since the beginning of this century. When I was a
medical student, it was utterly unknown.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
We've seen figures that maybe there are twelve deaths of
young people a week. How common do you think this
kind of sudden cardiac death in the young is.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I would say, of young people under the age of
thirty five. If I was to say how many dies suddenly,
I'd say twenty per week.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
It would be my.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Estimate, so potentially almost twice as many as I hurry estimaty.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yes, that would be my estimate from talking to people
and families throughout the country who say, well, the case
was never referred to you or never referred for an
expert cardiac opinion.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
She said, when she was a med student, the condition
was almost unknown. But now at the time twenty twenty three,
she estimated twenty young people per week die suddenly from
heart related causes. The recent vaccine warning warns of myocarditis.
(23:05):
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, often caused
by infections like viruses and covids, autoimmune diseases, or rarely,
vaccine side effects. Huh. It's typically an acute condition, but
become chronic in rare cases. Cardio Myopathy is a disease
(23:27):
that affected affects the heart muscle structure, or functioning, leading
to impaired pumping ability. It's often chronic and can be
genetic caused by long term conditions as high pertension, diabetes,
or triggered by toxins, alcohol, or previous heart damage. Shepherd
(23:50):
was talking about this cardiomyopathy in my brain, said, could
cardiomyopathy be related to the vaccine? Well, it can be
triggered by toxins the vaccine, maybe, And I say maybe,
but not likely. So just forget that previous heart damage.
(24:10):
Now there's something the new warnings are for mile carditis
inflammation of the heart. Well, there's your previous heart damage.
Professor Shepherd was warning of cardio myopathy in twenty twenty three.
Remember the COVID vaccine was introduced and almost forced on
the world in twenty twenty, just three years before Professor
(24:35):
Shepherd started seeing a massive rise in cardio myopathy deaths
in young people. You think that's a coincidence, coincidence?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I think not.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Hey, remember when the pandemic death got so bad that
all those doctors and nurses had all that time to
make those dance videos in an empty hospital hallway. I
do and I won't forget. Uh something I want to forget.
This is the twenty twenty five Nathan's Famous hot Dog
Eating contest. I saw it on TV and it's gross.
(25:08):
It was held July fourth at Nathan's famous original restaurant
on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island, Brooklyn,
New York. Joey Chestnut won the men's competition with seventy
and a half hot dogs and buns, reclaiming the Mustard
Belt after a twenty twenty four band Mike Pseudo. Her
(25:30):
Miky Pseudo won the women's competition with thirty three hot
dogs and buns, securing her eleventh title. No protests reported,
but at the twenty twenty two Nathan's Hot Dog Eating
contest in Coney Island, animal rights activists from Direct Action
Everywhere they Go by DX disrupted the event to protest
(25:52):
protest Smithfield's Foods, a pork supplier for Nathan's, referring to
its Circle Fourth Arms in Utah as the death Star.
The protests carried signs reading exposed Smithfield's death Star and
wore Star Wars themed masks you know, Darth Vader Stormtroopers.
The key individuals Scott Gilbertson, a twenty one year old
(26:15):
activists from Berkeley, California. He wore a Darth Vader mask.
He was put in a choke hold by competitor Joey
Chestnut after nudging him on stage. Gilbertson was charged with
criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, and harassment. It was later released.
He described Chestnut's reaction as unnecessary, but acknowledged the protest
(26:37):
goal to highlight animal cruelty at Smithfield's farm. Also Robert Yamada,
forty two year old from Phoenix, Joshua Markson thirty one
from Santa Clare, California. They were all charged with criminal trespass,
disorderly context conduct. These protest reference Operation Death Star. Remember
(27:00):
twenty fifteen DX investigation that documented poor conditions Smithfields Farms,
Utah Farm, including gestation crates and dead piglets, gross leading
to a felony charge against activists for rescuing two piglets
and all of it. I can't say it enough gross,
including the contest, but not Nathan's hot dogs. They are
(27:23):
arguably the best hot dogs on the market consumer market
grosser yet Blackrock owns three point four to four percent
shares of Nathan's Famous The makers of Nathan's hot Dogs,
they touch everything, and now it's time for sports. One
(27:44):
of the most inspiring sports stories is that of Jesse
Owens in the nineteen thirty six Berlin Olympics. In the
lead up to the games, Adolf Hitler, a Nazi regime
We're using the Olympics as propaganda tool to showcase their
ideology of a supremacy. They believed that the quote unquote
Aryan athletes would dominate the competition, proving their racial superiority.
(28:09):
Jesse Owens, an African American track and field athlete from
the US, arrived in Berlin facing not only the pressure
of international competition, but also the weight of racial prejudice
both at home and abroad. Despite the hostile environment and
Hitler's refusal to acknowledge him, Owens proceeded to deliver one
of the most astonishing performances in Olympic history. He won
(28:34):
four gold medals in the one hundred meter, two hundred
meter long jump in the four by one hundred meter relay.
Each victory was a direct refutation of Nazi propaganda his
triumph that was a powerful symbol of individuals excellence overcoming
hateful ideology. But perhaps the most memorable moment came in
(28:56):
the long jump. Owens had fouled on his first two
attempts and was in danger of not qualifying for the finals,
and according to legend and widely reported accounts, a German
competitor named Louse Long, a tall, blonde, blue eyed arian
who was the European record holder in Hitler's Favorite Athlete,
(29:18):
approached Owens. Long, despite the political climate and the expectation
placed upon him by his own government, offered Owens advice
on how to adjust his takeoff to avoid fouling. Owens
followed that advice, and then he qualified, and then he
ultimately won the gold medal, with Long taking silver. What
(29:43):
makes this more remarkable is that Long was the first
to congratulate Owens publicly embracing him in front of US
don Nazi officials in the world. The act of sportsmanship
and defiance of racist ideology formed and enduring friendship between
the two men, which they maintained through letters until Long's
(30:03):
death in World War Two. Jesse Owen's performance in the
nineteen thirty six Olympic wasn't just about athletic achievement, you guys.
It was profound and it was a human story of courage, resilience,
and the power of sport to transcend political and racial
divides and delivered a resounding blow to one of the
(30:25):
most hateful ideologies in history. That's sports. What about this
week's quote of the week? Okay, another sports related thing.
The quote is quote it's not whether you get knocked down,
(30:46):
it's whether you get up end quote. Now, I bet
you don't know who said it, and I bet you've
heard ninety eight versions of this exact same quote. But
that's the original, and that was by Vince Lombardi, legendary
football coach. And you know what's next? You know the rules? No,
not yet. I do what I want to do here,
(31:09):
you guys, this is my show. I do what I want.
You don't know what's next, folks. It's been one year
since President Donald Trump was shot. One year. It's been
sixty one years, seven months and twenty four days since
Kennedy was assassinated. We've heard about it NonStop. There have
(31:30):
been endless documentaries. Everyone with the YouTube channel has re
enacted the shot. It was a whole day in school.
There's a whole Seinfeld episode that references this in the
film President Ronald Reagan was shot, survived, and was fine.
I've seen the video a thousand times. I can tell
you the haircuts of the Secret Service agents, and I
(31:53):
can tell you the making model of the firearms the
Secret Service had and pulled out after they drew in
defensive Reagan as they were shoving him in the car.
We've heard nothing and know nothing about the Trump assassination attempt.
He was shot in the ear on live TV crickets.
(32:19):
The Secret Service knew about the threat ten days in advance.
They did not relay the threat to any local law
enforcement agent in charge of identifying of the vulnerabilities knew
about it. The Secret Service first role is to secure
the outdoor rally. The Secret Services drone wasn't working. Their
(32:43):
drone operator only had one hour of training on the
drone and it took the agent one hour to fix it.
The gunman, and you can't tell me his name right now,
before you look it up or think about it, I
know you can't, was flying his own drone over the
rally area. Gunman's name was Thomas Crooks. Thomas Matthew Crooks
(33:05):
born September twentieth, two thousand and three in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
Graduated from Bethel Park High School in twenty twenty two,
earned an associate's degree in engineering science from the Community
College of Alleghany County in May of twenty twenty four,
and was accepted in the University of Pittsburgh and Robert
Morris University for further studies, but for some reason worked
(33:28):
as a dietary aid at Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and
Rehabilitation Center. He was registered as a Republican voter in
September twenty twenty one, when he turned eighteen, but he
made a fifteen dollars donation to the Progressive Turnout Project,
a Democrat aligned pack on January twentieth to twenty twenty one.
(33:49):
No manifesto, no explicit explanation of his motive was ever
found or revealed, and he's had almost non existent digital footprints. Somehow,
it's almost impossible these days. He attempted to join his
high school's rifle team, but was rejected due to poor
(34:10):
shooting skills. Crooks fired eight shots from a rifle from
a rooftop one hundred and fifty yards from the stage
of the Trump rally and hit Trump in the ear.
The attack wounded Trump's ear and actually killed one spectator.
Spectator's name was Corey Comperhentore and critically injured. To others
(34:33):
David Dutch and James Copenhaveer. Crooks was killed by a
Secret Service counter sniper moments after opening fire. Bomb making
materials were found in his vehicle and home, and a
remote detonator was on his body, though the explosive devices
were poorly constructed and not functional. His home was spotless
(34:56):
and almost surgical room clean and their there were no
eating utensils in his home. He had researched mass shooters,
including the search for how far was Oswald from Kennedy
and about a week before the attack, and visited the
rally site in advance. Just hours after he was killed,
(35:18):
the FBI literally hosed down the crime scene. There's a
video of it. The FBI released his body just ten
days after the crime. It wasn't a closed investigation yet,
but they released it anyway. In the family immediately cremated Crooks.
This is what I know. I found and compiled this
(35:42):
on my own because there was no FBI report on
the attempted assassination. There was no press conference, there was
no nothing. There's never been a final report. They said
he'd been speaking to someone using three encrypted messaging apps,
but no specified witch apps, and that's just the end
(36:02):
of it. He supposedly acted alone, but he had two
vehicles at the rally. Onlookers told law enforcement about crooks
being on the roof with a rifle, and they did nothing.
There were ninety six Trump rallies. In twenty twenty four,
(36:24):
CNN aired the one in Butler Live. Okay, now it's
time for sugar. We can talk about movies and film
documentaries on here, at least I can. I love it
(36:46):
all drama, horror, comedy, my favorite being a good documentary.
But if we talk about comedies for more than five minutes,
no matter how old I get, you will probably hear
me mention. Ernest goes to Camp, hear me Out. The
nineteen eighty seven comedy film starred Jim Varney as Ernest p. Worrel,
(37:08):
the bumbling but well meaning camp handyman who becomes a counselor.
Victoria Roshimo as Nurse Saint Cloud, a kind nurse at
camp and granddaughter of Chief Saint Cloud. John Vernon as
Sherman Crater, the ruthless head of the mining corporation that
(37:29):
was going to destroy the camp. Lyle Alzado as Bronk Stenson,
the tough fore man foreman working for creator. Iron Eyed
Cody as old Indian Chief Saint Cloud, the camp owner,
noted as his final film appearance, by the way, and yeah,
(37:50):
that was his name. Iron Eyes Cody Gaillard Sartaine as
Jake quirky camp chef, and Daniel but Learns Eddie, Jake's
fellow camp counselor and assistant chef. One of my favorite
comedies of all time, and following is my favorite scene
(38:11):
from this movie. This is a solid minute and a
half of comedy. In one scene, it's Jake and Eddie,
the camp cooks, forcing Ernest to try their concoction they
call eggs erroneous.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Edie, if you don't stir, it'll clot on something burning. Here.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
Look you got for you, fan, Jake's specialty du jure
eggs erroneous. It's made with pounded eggs and seventeen herbs
and spices smuggled into this country by to Bethan monks.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
Ernest, I want you to cut yourself a big knock
out of these eggs.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Erroneous. No, I can't eat on Nye's stomach.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Of course you can.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Eddie doesn't look at that, Rosie glow to his teeth.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
No, oh, come on here, No now, Ernest, would somebody
dressed like this lie to you about food?
Speaker 12 (39:06):
Fond as I am a Tibetan cooking, A hungry lion
hunts bens.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Know what I mean? Now, come on, take you to
go back?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
No, come on, no open bee, No.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
Come on, no Earnest, no Earnest, no Earnest, No, Eddie,
it's time for the plane to go.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
The hangar.
Speaker 9 (39:28):
Out.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Oh, rabbit over, rabbit. We could use a rabbit. Rabbit,
that's it. A rabbit, a big rabbit with frvard socks.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Fond as I am about Tibetan cooking, he said, hilarious.
The film also featured young actors like a Keem Abdul Samad,
Patrick Day, Scott Menville, Jacob Vargas, Danny Capri, and Richard
Spike Junior, all as juvenile delinquent campers that arrived on
a bus, along with other supporting actors like Larry Black
(40:15):
as mister Tipton, the head counselor. But as gold as
this film is from start to finish, there was truly
the one star that was Jim Varney. Varney was born
June fifteenth in nineteen forty nine. He passed away February tenth,
two thousand. He was an American actor, comedian, and writer,
(40:39):
best known for his role as Ernest P. Warrel. That
character is a lovable, bumbling character he played in numerous
films and TV commercials. Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Varney began
his career in stand up comedy and theater before gaining
fame through a nineteen eighties advertising campaign for a Tennessee
(40:59):
and amusement park, where he first portrayed Earnest. His breakout
role was in Arnest Goes to Camp nineteen eighty seven,
which led to an entire series of nine Earnest films,
including Earnest Saves Christmas nineteen eighty eight, Ernest Scared Stupid
nineteen ninety one, Ernest Goes to Jail in nineteen ninety.
(41:22):
You get It. Varney slapstick humor, expressive face, and distinctive
Southern draw made Earnest a cultural icon of the nineteen
eighties and nineties. He also appeared in non Earnest roles,
such as Jed Clampett in the Beverly Hill Billies film
from ninety three, and voiced Slinky Dog in Toy Story
(41:42):
in nineteen ninety five and Toy Story two in ninety nine.
Varney was a versatile performer, skilled and improvisation and character work,
but he struggled with type casting due to Ernest's popularity.
He was also a chain smoker, which led to his
diagnosis of lung cancer in nineteen ninety eight. Varney passed
(42:06):
away in two thousand at the age of fifty, leaving
a legacy of family friendly comedy and memorable characters. As
addicted to nicotine and cigarettes as he was, Varney never
smoked in front of children and was never seen smoking
in any of his films. He insisted, what's my second favorite,
(42:28):
Jim Varney seeing you ask? Oh, well, that would be
from the film Ernest Goes to Jail from nineteen ninety
It's a scene Varney is disguised as an old woman
that he does from time to time. Hilarious She quote
unquote looking for her son, complete with the hunched over
posture over an old aluminum walker, a sweater draped over
(42:49):
the shoulders, horn rimmed glasses complete with the chain attached
to the earpieces, and a neck brace.
Speaker 12 (42:56):
For some reason, these steps might as well be Mount Everest.
Speaker 11 (43:04):
Well when he said that, I was just sharp, hold
on a second, hunt, Superior Talent Incorporated.
Speaker 12 (43:09):
Marty Brock is my second born son, without a slivery
of gratitude, who wouldn't even pick up his own mother
at the airport. I'm only glad his father never lived
to see the day when his son would treat his
own mother this way. Me a lonely old woman forced
to cope in a world of indifference.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Hold on just a minute.
Speaker 12 (43:31):
Where is he? Where is Martin? I need him to
help me with my will. Having walked from the airport,
I'll be dead soon.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I don't know what to do. He's with a client.
That's life for you.
Speaker 12 (43:43):
You have two sons, one good, one bad, and wouldn't
you know it was my luck?
Speaker 5 (43:50):
A good one dies, but missus Brock, I'm sure he
didn't know you were coming.
Speaker 12 (43:55):
Don't side with him, honey, there's no future in it.
Just tell me where he is.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Hilarious. I will never not laugh at that scene. It's
a lot visual. I'd go find it if you can.
You can just find that scene on YouTube. There's a
they've taken it out because it's hilarious. The strangest film
of his that I've seen has to be one called
Doctor Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam from
(44:25):
nineteen eighty six. Starts out as Varney as Ernest. When
Ernest tries out a strange contraption he bought cheaply called
the Changing Coffin, the machine turns him into his opposite,
a mad scientist and supervillain bent on a world domination.
(44:45):
Is supervillain alter ego. It's called Doctor Auto. He plans
to Loom to use his gloom Beam to render all
the computers that keep people's financial records and bank accounts useless,
which wouldn't make him the only one access to all
that dough. Bumbling hero Lance Sterling and his cautious psydekick
(45:06):
Doris are sent to Doctor Otto's layer to stop him. There,
they must face various scary alter egos of Doctor Otto,
as well as his manservant Willie the Robot. It currently
sits at a stinky thirty seven percent on rotten tomatoes,
and that's just viewers like the uh you know, there's
(45:30):
two tomato meters. There's the audience score, in the critics score.
There's not even a critic score to Doctor Otto in
the Riddle of the Gloom Beam, which is a travesty
and it's sad. I get it. It wasn't his best film,
but if you're a Jim Varney fan, I would recommend it.
Now I'll watch it again. Also, Varney plays I can't remember,
(45:55):
I want to say, twelve or thirteen characters in that
one movie. Like it's it's a plain Jane strange movie. Okay,
it just is. But one thing that makes it strange
is it keeps cutting to different scenes that are almost
like entirely different movies into themselves, where Varney is playing
a character in every one of those scenes, and he
(46:19):
kills his performance in every one of them. That thirty
seven percent doesn't come from Varney's acting. I promise you
that it comes from the movie as a whole. It's
just not it's just too strange to be accepted. I
think nineteen eighty six Doctor Auto and the Riddle of
the Gloom Beam. If you can find it, watch it.
(46:39):
If you can buy it, buy it, send it to me.
Let me know. Uh, thirty seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
That's bull crap. It's a solid forty five or fifty.
I'm not kidding. Uh. There's a there's a review on
IMDb that I think it explains it perfectly, just like
I said. The title of the review is bad movie,
(47:02):
great scenes, and the review says, as far as stories go,
it seems like the writers could only pass a kindergarten
story writing class. The plot, Doctor odell Otto wants to
destroy the world, that's all. However, what you get is
the brilliance of Jim Varney. Not as earnest for ninety minutes.
I'll be first admit to that being a hard challenge,
(47:25):
but Jim portraying a variety of other characters that we
only get glimpses of in other movies and his TV series.
He's brilliant as he throws himself into these wild, wacky characters.
Think of it as a bunch of ten to twenty
minute short films, each with a different lead character by
Varney and each around a central theme that were spliced together.
(47:47):
Each short fairy self contained. It's much easier to watch
this movie when you think of it like that. That's
the review. It's pretty much what I said about it too,
And it's true. It sounds like I'm crapping on this movie.
I'm not. I'm just being honest. It's good. If you
want to see some great characters acting, or at least
(48:10):
Jim Varty not playing Ernest, definitely watch this movie if
you can find it. That's how that quote, that's how
that review ends. But the earnest films, I think, or
whateveryone remembers from Varney, and that's all right. The Earnest
series of movies paved what I imagine to have been
a successful road for Jim Varney, and I'm glad I
(48:31):
was the right age to take the trip with him.
And that's why Jim Varney is this week's sugar. And
that wraps up Episode one ninety four The Soapbox Champion Podcast,
The Variety Podcast. Not bad, huh, it was? It was bad.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
I use colored damn right.
Speaker 7 (50:04):
So you look at a red dot and it appears blurry, well,
you might have an a stigmatism or maybe the radical
just sucks.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
It sucks.
Speaker 7 (50:12):
So a quick, easy test is to actually pull out
a red dot and if you look at the red
dot and let's say in this case it appears blurry, well,
it might be the optic or it might be an
a stigmatism. The quickest way to tell is if you
pull out your phone, and you pull out your camera
and you take a picture of the radical itself, does
it display different on the phone versus what you actually
(50:33):
see when you look.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
Through the optic same, same, but different.
Speaker 7 (50:38):
And if it does, then you have an a stigmatism.
If it doesn't, then it's actually just a manufacturing defect
in the red dot itself. So at the end of
the day, trust your phone, not your eyeball.
