Episode 188 from The Soap Box Champion Podcast hosted by Kraig Delaney, covers a diverse range of topics. The episode begins by detailing a recent violent attack in Boulder, Colorado, where Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower at a pro-Israel demonstration, leading to injuries and federal charges, prompting a discussion on armed self-defense and police response times. The podcast then shifts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) no longer recommending COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women, which the host uses to critique the public's perception of "science" and "trust the science" rhetoric during the pandemic. Subsequently, the episode critically examines President Joe Biden's recent pardons and commutations, highlighting controversial recipients like family members and individuals involved in the "Kids for Cash" scandal, contrasting them with former President Trump's pardon process. Lastly, the host briefly touches on David Hogg's recent controversial statements, the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, the unexplained "Wow! Signal" from 1977, the unique baseball entertainment of the Savannah Bananas, and concludes with a review of the Paul Reubens documentary "Pee-wee as Himself."

Speaker 1 (00:14):
And this is going to sound like bragging, and I
just don't care. This is the Soapbox Champion podcast. Yes, ma'am,
(00:35):
it is the Soapbox Champion Podcast. It's the one for Tuesday,
June third, twenty twenty five. Of course, it's episode one
eighty eight. I'm Craig Delaney. H I had a good week.
Did you guys have a good I feel like sometimes
we're meeting in person and I have to ask you
(00:55):
if you had a good week. I don't know, is
it weird? I don't know nicety, need more niceties? Uh,
it's not all about me, you know. So it's my
way of showing that, you know, I'll give it. I
give a crap about you two. I guess I don't know,
habits whatever. Maybe I was just raised right, maybe, you know. Uh,
(01:18):
try not be too too chippering joyous. Uh. It's a
real crap day on Sunday, and especially in Boulder, Colorado.
Sure you've seen by now. A violent attack occurred at
the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado during a peaceful
demonstration organized by the group Run for Their Lives to
(01:42):
raise awareness for Israeli hostages held by a mass Uh
my my gut, my hardened, stupid gut wants to say, yeah,
we're aware, we are aware, civilians were aware, there's hostages
held by Amas. Uh, we're well aware. Yeah, do something useful.
(02:03):
That's what my gut wants to say. But my heart
knows better. I guess I don't know whatever. Almost this
is all operating on the assumption that their hearts are
in the right place. I don't know, wrong place, wrong time,
And again my gut wants to say, don't put yourself
in that place at the wrong time. But it is
(02:23):
free country, and do what they want. I mean, really,
it's just a weird it's the weird spot. But anyway,
the suspect stands Muhammed Solomon, the forty five year old
Egyptian national, and he allegedly shouted free Palestine and in
Zionists while using makeshift flamethrower. There's no footage of that.
(02:45):
I wanted to know if it was the rule King
one just out of curio, morbid curiosity, and you threw
Molotov cocktails under the crowd and injuring twelve people. The victims,
four men and four women, age between fifty four and
eighty eight. So for burn victims. Four victims were taken
to Boulder Community Hospital and two others were airlifted to
(03:05):
burn in it An, Aurora. Thankfully no fatalities. But burns
are bad, you guys. Burns are bad, especially at that level.
I don't wish it on anyone. Solomon, who had been
planning the attack for a year, according to police, and
I guess he said that. I read somewhere that he
(03:26):
admitted to do that. He was arrested at the scene
with sixteen additional unused molotov cocktails in his possession. He
faces federal hate crime charges, thank goodness, sixteen counts of
attempted murder and other felonies, including use of an incendiary device.
(03:49):
He's being held on a ten million dollar bond and
was scheduled for quart appearance on June second, just yesterday,
And I don't know what became of that. The FBI
is investigating the incident as a targeted terror attack, and
Solomon reportedly told investigators he targeted the group due to
their pro Israel stance. Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redford and
(04:14):
the FBI confirmed Solomon was not previously known to law
enforcement as a threat. Of course, no one's known as
a threat until they are a threat. Just like when
somebody's stupid dog comes up to bite me and they
say he doesn't bite. I always say no dog bites
till they do the first time, you know. The attack
(04:38):
has raised some concerns about rising anti Semitism, with Colorado
Governor Jared Polis noting its impact on the Jewish community.
President Donald Trump and White House officials attributed the incident
to lacks immigration policies, which is partially to blame, not all, though,
citing Solomon's expired tourist visa and subsequent work authorization. The
(05:01):
FBI searched Solomon's apartment in Colorado Springs, where he lived
with his family. But all that, you know, I don't
want to give this guy notoriety, fame or anything. I
don't give a damn about him. Take him in the back,
do away with him. All this to say, when the
(05:22):
dust settled, I thought, this is crazy, and this is
now like typical violence on our streets. So were something
that has nothing to do with the US. We meddle
too much around the world. We know it, and also
much much more than you and I will ever know.
(05:42):
The first eye witness video was interesting and it was sad,
and I watched it about five times. I saw it
on x immediately and shortly after Solomon threw a couple
Molotov cocktails and burn people alive. I saw a few
cell phones pointed right at him, but nothing else pointed
right at him. Here's some of the audio from that
(06:05):
very clip. And the voice you'll hear and the voice
you hear me talking about after is that of a
woman actively taking this video of the suspect after he
burned people alive in front of her.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I wish I had my gun with me.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'll do it. I wish I had my gun with me.
I'd do it. Yeah, those people with all the burns,
wish you had your gun with you as well. Unprepared,
out of touch people carry it or sell it. You guys,
you don't usually don't get the chance to say you
(06:49):
wish you had your gun with you. Her and another
person a man can be seeing in this video aiming
their phones at the suspect. The man looks aggressive to you,
He looks overly aggressive to get this video, getting closer
and closer with his phone to the suspect, who is
still actively enraged, and he looks like the same way
(07:10):
you would try and get footage of a cobra that's
ready to strike. You know, he's leaning forward with his
cell phone and backing up when he thinks he should
should have been a gun. Colorado is a self issue
or a shout issue state for concealed carry permits. Residents
twenty one and older can obtain a concealed handgun permit
through their county sheriff. In this case, that would be
(07:32):
Boulder County Sheriff's office. They're valid for five years. This
permit allows concealed carry statewide, subject to some local restrictions.
Like they all are, some of the Boulder City restrictions.
Sensitive public places, sensitive areas. It's a generic term, but
they also give some examples government buildings, and these are
(07:55):
typical prohibitive places. Government buildings, polling places, banks and financial institution, theaters, hospitals, healthcare,
places of worship unless the governing body opts out, I
will absolutely carry in a place of worship, other locations
designated by the city with posted signage. These people could
(08:19):
have legally been concealed caring at the scene, and maybe
a couple less people get burned alive, and maybe the
suspect lies down and waits for the police instead of
threatening to do more violence. Huh, how many people were injured?
How many witnesses just would have taken one person to
eliminate the threat? Some post on x claim the police
(08:41):
response took over ten minutes. Nationally, police response times vary
widely depending on the city and the nature of the call,
with averages ranging from three to fifteen minutes for emergency situations.
According to a twenty fourteen FBI report on active shooter
incident nearby Colorado Springs, Colorado, reported in an average response
(09:04):
time of about fourteen minutes and twenty one seconds for
Priority one calls. In twenty twenty three, Priority one is
top priority life threatening. Fourteen minutes for Priority one. I
just think about that. What if your child was Priority
(09:25):
one and you're sitting there waiting for fourteen minutes? Come on,
I don't know what time he started, you know, hurtling
fire at people, But how long did it take to
burn twelve people? Eight minutes, ten minutes? One person with
one gun could have stopped him after the first victim,
and then we all quietly and peacefully wait another nine
(09:47):
minutes for the police to arrive. And clean up the mess.
It's violence. Yeah, sure, you know. Whenever you use your weapon,
it's violence. Violence in this instant is find as quote
rougher injurious physical force, action or treatment end quote. If
there ever was an appropriate time for violence situation like
(10:12):
this to eliminate a threat, the man was a threat
right up until the police put him in handcuffs, over
ten minutes after he burned twelve people. And you've probably
heard the quote, and I've said it because it's easily rememberable,
it's it's memorable, and it's it's a good quote. It's
the answer to a violent man is a more violent man.
(10:33):
I don't know who to contribute that quote to you
because I've heard it for so many years, but I
think Jordan Peterson said it much much better. He said, quote,
A harmless man is not a good man. A good
man is a very dangerous man who has that undervoluntary control.
End quote. Guns aren't the problem, and in this case,
(10:57):
it was fire and hate and ironically, a gun in
the hands of a responsible person, which is most persons,
it could have saved several people from serious bodil injury
in Boulder, Colorado, this past Sunday, that's what I'm saying.
Now for some good news, everyone INIH no longer recommends
(11:19):
COVID vaccine to kids and pregnant people. As of May
twenty seventh, the s Department of Health and Human Services,
led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, announced that the
SITTERS the Disease Control and Prevention would no longer recommend
routine COVID nineteen vaccinations for healthy children those are six
months to seventeen years, and healthy pregnant people from pbs
(11:43):
of all places.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
In a significant shift, this week, HELTHS Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Junior, joined by FDA Commissioner doctor Martin McCarey an
NIH director doctor j. Badcharia, announced that COVID nineteen vaccines
will no longer be recommended for healthy children and preg individuals.
That sparked concerns from some public health officials and medical professionals,
(12:05):
but Commissioner McCarey has defended the new guidelines and he
joins us now to discuss that and other major health news. Commissioner,
welcome to the news.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Going to be with Yamna, Thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So let's start with that vaccine announcement as you've heard
some people say this was an end run around CDC
that doesn't currently have a permanent director. There's an Advisory
Council on Vaccinations that usually weighs in on these decisions.
They are scheduled to meet in late June. Why not
wait for them to meet before making any kind of announcement.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
So most of America has said no to the COVID booster.
Last year, about eighty five percent of healthcare workers refused
the COVID booster last year, and very few children are
getting the COVID booster. For eighty eight percent of children,
their parents said no to the COVID booster. So we
can't have this huge disconnect. And the reality is people
want to either see more data where they have some concerns,
(12:56):
and so we need to provide that data for the
public to make the case right now. When we walk
came into office, there was this absolute universal recommendation at
the CDC and so the Secretary consulted with a number
of physicians and decided that he wanted to turn that
decision back to a physician and they're the patient, and
(13:17):
we would be more in line with Europe because in
the UK, for example, they only recommend the COVID booster
if you're seventy five years of age and high risk,
or in France it's eighty years of age and high risk.
So we're really getting closer to the European model. And
then the idea that you need a COVID booster every
year in perpetuity. That is, a young baby born today
needs eighty shots in her average lifetime. That was a theory,
(13:40):
a theory that's not supported with any randomized control trial data.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
A lot to make fun of or break down here,
eighty five percent of healthcare workers refuse the booster, and
eighty eight percent of kids parents refused the booster and
their kids. That's a large majority, a larger majority able
to think for themselves and think critically trust the science.
(14:07):
They said, Oh, you don't trust science, maga you maga.
Do I trust science? Yeah, but not if I can't
see the science, show it to me, lay it out,
don't show it to me, and then permanently ban me
from YouTube from talking about it. As we heard during
(14:28):
the height of COVID, trust the science. That was the
slogan all over TV, all over social media. But also
there was no science on TV or social media. It
was hollow. It was just something people said, this is
doctor James Tour.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
If the media says believe the science, I immediately am
quite skeptical. Yes, really really, because the person saying that
doesn't understand the science. It's like I told you, the
real science is very difficult to understand. If you want
to look at medical sciences. That's especially difficult epidemiology looking
at things and trends over human beings lifetime, it's very
(15:12):
hard to know long term effects. For example, because people
are living seventy eighty ninety years, it's very hard to
make an assessment. Very hard to know what caused that sickness.
Is that from something that happened, you know, twenty years ago?
Very hard to know. We just don't have the analytical
tools to make that judgement.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
One of the first things I do when I evaluate
an article is, you know, I try to figure out
where did most of the funding come from.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
You know, I've been critiquing the origin of life for
quite some time. Right, It's not just follow the money. Yeah,
these people are getting certain grants from certain foundations that
but then also its careers, its reputations.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Doctor James Tour is an American chemist, nanotechnologist and professor
of material science and nanoengineering at Rice University in Houston, US.
The science was propaganda that entire time, and I think
we know that now. And just to destroy the PBS
SoundBite some more, they mentioned getting closer to a European model.
(16:13):
What the hell does that even mean?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
And we would be more in line with Europe because
in the UK, for example, they only recommend the COVID
booster if you're seventy five years of age and high risk,
or in France it's eighty years of age and high risk.
So we're really getting closer to the European model.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Closer to that model. What is there different science when
you leave the US? Is it different there? What about math?
Is that different? Outside of the US? Science is science? People?
I think they meant opinion the entire time, and still
(16:51):
what they really mean is trust the opinion. That's how
it felt and that's what it always was, as in,
we wanted to act like the Europeans are acting when
it came to vaccinations and boosters. Science would be the
same everywhere, right, same results, if it were true science.
Well let's talk about that just a little bit. The
(17:12):
key principles of science is objectivity, minimize bias through standardized
procedures and peer review. Still really never been that. For
the COVID vaccine, there were no standardized procedures at all.
How they even sneakily changed the very definition of vaccine
to fit the narrative back then. That's like faking science.
(17:35):
You can't change the rules to force your science to work.
Your science has to work under certain rules. Falsifiability hypothesis.
Hypothesis must be testable, incapable of being proven wrong. You
can't do it. When referencing the vaccine, everything was testable.
(17:58):
They just didn't take the time, have the time, and
it was rushed and it was proven wrong over and
over again. Reproductive reproducibility experiments should yield consistent results when repeated.
There was zero consistency when you got the vaccine. Sometimes
(18:20):
you got covid, sometimes you didn't, sometimes you got twice.
Sometimes it was severe, sometimes it wasn't, no matter what
vaccine you got or how many boosters. It was all
over the place. And then skepticism, question assumptions and verify
findings through rigorous testing. Obviously there was no rigorous testing.
(18:44):
That's a big one. There was nothing but skepticism, but
they refused to listen. They tried to force their science
aka opinion, and absolutely nothing was verified for all those years.
All this to mean there was never any science, just
scare tactics, lies, bribes, and mandates. Let's never forget.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
At the time New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
bribing people with free shake Shack food for getting vaccinated.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
You say free fries when you get vaccinated. I got vaccinated.
You're saying I could get this a delicious fries.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Why mat?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
But there's also a burger element to this. Let me
check with Bill neath hard is it too early in
the day to eat a bird? This could be breakfast ghosts. Okay,
I want you to look at this and think about again.
Some people love hamburger. Some don't really want to respect
all ways of life. But if this is appealing to you,
(19:57):
just think of this when you think of vaccination doxations.
I'm getting a very good feeling about vaccination right this moment.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Uh, Did you feel like a four year old? Because
that's how you talk to us. It's gross. And before
we get away from PBS, in that sound bite, did
you notice how they worded the people who are no
longer recommended for getting a booster. Listen again.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
For healthy children and pregnant individuals.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Pregnant individuals not pregnant women, because we all know men
can get pregnant. I guess right, is that science too?
Is that European science?
Speaker 5 (20:46):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I thought we were trusting the science. What happened to that?
It's all insanity and every bit of it is plain
Jane propaganda. And just a side note here, here's something
I I'm beginning to hear when you dig a little
deeper about stuff these days, like very recently this week,
and I want you all to listen to it for
for it too. And it's a term, and it's vaccine intolerant. Uh.
(21:13):
When people are getting uh uh vaccine injured, they're they're
being called not vaccine injured, they're being called vaccine intolerant,
so placing the blame on the person for getting sick.
But the shit, this is what people are being labeled
in in Australia right now after they become vaccine injured.
(21:34):
See how they like to play word games and pass
the blame cover themselves. I bet it'll be here in
the US soon. So listen for it, vaccine intolerant and
uh and now after uh, after there was the recommendations
for children and pregnant women were was lifted. Well you
(21:57):
got the mainstream media thrown a fit, say and well,
well what about all this? You know what we were
always told? Or why can't we get that? What if
we want to get that, can we still get that?
And now they're saying again, no matter what the recommendations are,
trust your doctor and have a conversation with your doctor.
(22:18):
But during the height of COVID there was none of that.
You weren't even supposed to trust your doctor. You're supposed
to get it no matter what your doctor said.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
It.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's all madness. I'm so sick of it, so sick
of it. So let's move on. There's a US pardon
attorney names Liz Oyer. She's a former pardon attorney and
on May twenty seven and a again PBS News Hour interview.
I'm not picking on PBS, it's just how this all
(22:48):
goes down. PBS News Hour interview. She described Trump's pardon
process as unusual and detriment to those deserving clemency by
bypassing a STABH safeguards. She argued that this approach fuels
a two tiered justice system, implying that an overly broad
and politicized use of pardons. In literally the last two
(23:12):
and a half hours as president, on January twentieth, twenty
twenty five, President Joe Biden issued a series of preemptive
pardons and commutations. He pardoned his entire family, his brother James,
James's wife Sarah for some reason, his sister Valerie for
(23:32):
some reason, and her husband of course, he must have
did something to John t Owens, and Francis W. Biden,
his other brother. These pardons were announced literally minutes before
Trump's inauguration, with Biden's citing unrelenting attacks and threats motivated
by partisan politics as the reason. Fearing continued targeting by
(23:55):
Trump and his allies. He also pardoned the last minute
doctor Anthony Fouchery, General Mark Milli, Marcus Messiah Garvey. He
passed away. He was a Black nationalist leader convicted of
mail fraud in nineteen twenty three. Okay Don Scott of
(24:17):
Virginia House Speaker, convicted of a non violent drug offense
in ninety four. Okay Darryl Chambers, gun violence prevention advocate
convicted of nonviolent drug offenses in nineteen ninety eight. So
I'm saying Biden thinks drugs are fine. It's just guns
that are bad, that's all you know. But one hundred
(24:38):
and seven, five and forty three doug debt drug deats
in twenty twenty three compared to just forty six, seven
hundred and twenty eight gun deaths. However, twenty eight thousand,
four hundred and six of those deaths were either by suicide, unintentional,
or police involved. Actually, just eighteen thousand, three hundred and
(24:58):
twenty two homicides by gun twenty twenty three versus one
hundred and seven five and forty three drug overdose deaths.
So stop acting like drug crime is a lesser crime.
It's not. Ernest William Comarty, former South Carolina City councilmen,
convicted of nonviolent offense. Gerald Lundgerdon Lundergan, former Kentucky State
(25:23):
Legislature legislator, convicted of a non violence offense. Robbie Ragbaier,
immigrant advocate, convicted of nonviolent offense in two thousand and one.
And we're not done all January sixth, committee members and
their staff. Biden pardoned all members and staff of the
(25:45):
House Select Committee to investigate January sixth attack on the
US Capitol. Now pardon them from what you know. You
know when you get pardoned, that that's a clue that
you did something wrong, that you just innocent. People don't
get pardoned because they don't need it. That's all there
(26:06):
is to it. The pardons covered the committee staff and
US Capital and DC Metropolitan Police officers who testified before
the committee. Okay, it's just strange. There's others, thirty nine
others convicted in non violent offens. This is fine. Maybe
some of them are fine. Michael Conahan involved in the
(26:31):
Kids for Cash scandal. Remember that Rita Crudwell defrauded Dixon,
Illinois of over fifty million dollars. I guess that's not
a big deal either. You want to talk about kids
for Cash? This may be the headlines for about a week.
The Kids for Cash scandal was a judicial corruption case
in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. I'm covered. In two thousand and eight,
(26:52):
two judges Mark Ciavalira and Michael Conahan, pardoned by Biden,
were convicted of accepting over two point eight million dollars
in kickbacks from private juvenile detention centers in exchange for
sentencing children to detention for minor and made up offenses.
Between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight,
(27:14):
they sent thousands of kids, some as young as thirteen,
to facilities for profit, often without legal representation or any trial.
The scheme exploited the juvenile justice system, prioritizing financial gain
over justice. Both judges were convicted. The one guy got
(27:36):
twenty eight years and Conahan got seventeen point five years.
The case led to significant reforms in Pennsylvania's juvenile justice system.
So priorities Huh funny how crimes against children just aren't
a big deal to the left to see, we get
absolutely no progress or updates on the Epstein case, while
(27:56):
the FBI has the entire client list and Epstein's is
alive well and in jail as we speak. Are they
hoping we'll forget? I'm not going to forget. And what's
with Biden pardoning his entire family? Think about this. They
haven't been charged with anything, pardoned from what? And don't forget.
(28:23):
Biden pardoned his son Hunter on December first, twenty twenty four.
The full and unconditional pardon covered federal gun and tax convictions,
as well as any potential offenses Hunter may have committed
from January first, twenty fourteen to December first, twenty twenty
(28:43):
four He was pardoned just weeks before scheduled sentencing for
these convictions, and reversed Biden's repeated public statements that he
would not pardon his son dating back to January first
of twenty fourteen. What's up with that? Oh, that's that's
because of his corruption. Hunter started working for Bisma Holdings
(29:05):
in April of twenty fourteen, initially as counsel in quotes,
and was elevated to board member by May. Barisma is
an energy holdings company in Ukraine. Remember you may also
remember Hunter was accused of influence peddling, bribery, improper lobbying,
(29:26):
and tax evasion. Also, Hunter lacked expertise in energy or
Ukraine for that matter, suggesting his fifty thousand dollars a
month compensation totally about three point four million from twenty
fourteen to twenty fifteen to a company he co controlled
was due to his family name. Hunter acknowledged Barisma valued
(29:50):
his name, but denied wrongdoing. I don't know how you
do both of those things. Acknowledged that they used him
for his name, but denied any Okay, so he stated
he provided advice on legal issues, corporate finance, and strategy
because he seems like that kind of guy, real responsible.
You know, everyone has a has a laptop full of
(30:12):
nude pictures and themselves smoking crack with very young girls,
don't they. Uh. Some Republicans said Hunter should have registered
as a foreign agent for his BERSMA work, though no
charges were ever filed, and his lawyer stated he did
not direct lobbying efforts. Okay, And here you thought Hunter
(30:32):
was just some crackhead with a real greasy laptop.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Oh, that's another thing the FBI has in its possession.
Hunter's laptop makes you wonder who the FBI works for. Yeah,
all of that, But Trump's pardons are too broad. David
Hogg has been in the news recently. He's a strange character,
(30:57):
to say the least. Creepy. Don't trust him. He probably
recognized his name, but you couldn't say why or what
the hell he does. I talked about him in episode
one thirty six. Here's what I had to say about
him back then. It kind of explains him. And then
we'll talk a little bit more about him on This
is Over. Hey, you guys remember David Hogg. He's that real, skinny,
(31:17):
weird looking dude that claims to be a survivor of
the twenty eighteen Parkland school shooting. That's him. He turned
into a gun control advocate, whatever gun control means. No
one can find that. He's contradicted himself many times when
telling the story of where he was during the Parkland shooting.
He's been paraded around all these years as a quote
(31:40):
unquote survivor, but no one listened to him himself say
he wasn't there. I guess here he is.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
On the day of the shooting, I got my camera
and got on my bike and rode as fast as
I could three miles from my house to the school
to get as much video and get as many interviews
as I could, as I knew that miss could not
be another mass shooting.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Okay, And he seems to have become this puppet to
be used and abused by the anti gun movement. That's
pretty much the only reason I ever hear from him.
I always thought there was something off about him, and
if you watch more than a minute or two, you'll
get a vibe. I don't think I'm the only one. Well,
(32:25):
some audio has been found. It's found its way into
the wild of Hog seemingly being coached during an on
the scene interview that day. It's not new audio, but
almost no one will play it. Oh but I will
remember Hogg himself said he was not at the school
and he had to ride his bike three miles from
(32:47):
his house to get there to get video. You just
heard him say that undisputed. Uh interview with him saying that,
But when he got there and was interviewed, it was
a different story. And here's that. Here's that leaked audio.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
Because we had had a fire alarm earlier that day
and that was a drill, So we thought this was
a drill too, just another one, because we have a
lot of fire alarms of a lot of fire drills
at the school. After we heard the first gunshot, we
initially thought it was a drill. Actually that was a
bad choice. Actually that was a bad choice because the janet.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Sorry, you're fine, You're fine.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
Honestly, when I was going out, I was kind of
I wasn't. When I was going out, I.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Was in shock.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
I don't know how to put this is respective. So
most of my friends that made it out. One of
them went into a bathroom in the same I believe,
in the same hallway as the shooter hold on. One
of them went into the same bathroom I believed as
the hallway shooter. He was in there at the same time,
(33:58):
and he was in the bathroom and he didn't know
if he was.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Going to live.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Being a opportunist, David Hogg went on to become a
gun control activist for some reason, and now somehow he
fell forward and is a Democratic National Committee vice chair
somehow because no one likes him, not even on the left.
(34:23):
Last month, Hogg was recorded by Project Veritas in an
undercover video making two claims. First, Joe Biden's chief of
staff controlled the White House. Hogg stated that Anthony Burnell,
Joe Biden's chief of staff, wielded an enormous amount of
power in the Biden administration, describing the inner circle around
(34:45):
Joe Biden as a significant issue. A former Biden's staffer,
Deterryan Jones called Bernal's influences an open secret. End quotes
these comments field speculation about a lack of transparency in
the White House. The Biden White House anyway, remember how
open and transparent, Biden promised he would be, and also
(35:09):
Hogg was recorded saying Nancy Pelosi's stock trading. She criticized
Pelosi's too well timed stock trades, suggesting they implied insider
knowledge and so returns out performed most hedge funds. He
noted he avoided publicly confronting her to prioritize his gun
control agenda, stating, quote, I know that if I pick
(35:32):
that fight, it's going to be harder for us to
get gun control passed. End quote again, priorities. Strange for
someone like that to say these things, But he's young,
and I guess I think the Democrats had planned to
use and abuse him as a school shooting mascot of sorts,
but his credentials never made sense to people like you
(35:52):
and I. I don't think the elderly politicians are used
to you and I having such access to information and
the ability to fact check and think for ourselves. I
think he sort of accidentally moved up the ranks, but
has no friends. You know, when he got there, he's
a nothing, and I hate that he keeps making headlines.
(36:15):
But also he has crazy eyes. He's got eyes just
like most of the school shooters that you see, go
look that up. Put Hog in next to most school
shooters over the last you know, fifteen years, very same
eyes are almost every mass shooter seems to have. Look
it up. I'll put some pictures up on social media
(36:37):
when I get done here, but you'll know when you
see the examples. There's just something not right about him.
And the dude needs protein. He needs to eat protein
so bad. His arms are like buggy whips and he's
scrownny whatever whatever, Who cares. That's all. That's all on
David Hogg, just the service provided by me. You know,
(36:58):
if you hear his name in the news, you'll know
a little bit more about him. Uh. War is weird.
This back and forth between Ukraine and Russia is getting strange.
Neither side wants peace, but it seems also neither is winning.
And now they keep doing this back and forth with
hostages and ceasefires. Every other day it seems I hear
(37:22):
there is a new ceasefire, and every other day it
seems that one side or another violates it. And now
they're stopping fighting to exchange thousands of hostages at a time.
This feels like a forever war, like a war machine
in and of itself, and neither side is trying to win.
I thought war was war. Eliminate one side and retrieve
(37:45):
the spoils or secure the peace right. One day Russia says,
here are thousands of hostages we are returning to you.
The next day Russia's launches of record breaking three hundred
drone attack. You know. On May twenty fifth, Russian attack
attacked with two hundred and ninety eight drones and sixty
nine missiles. The next day, May twenty sixth, they launched
(38:06):
three hundred and fifty five drones. In May twenty seventh,
Russia kills at least three children and it injures eleven
people overnight. And on May thirty first, Russia launched in
four hundred seventy two drones, you know, but ceasefire and
exchange hot which is freaking weird. Those are drone drone
swarms they call them, and not really any outrage over this.
(38:30):
There must be lots and lots of money making, you know,
being had now, especially drone manufacturers. Who are they? Are they?
Russian manufacturers? Are that? Does anyone know? It's like an
endless supply. Don't know whether they're being made strange. Either
win it or quit it, you know. It's like they
don't want peace. And what I'm afraid of is that
(38:53):
they'll just send those thousands right back out to fight.
That's what they're gonna do, both sides, especially Ukraine. It's sad.
I saw social media post mentioning something I'd forgotten all about.
Do you remember hearing though about the Wow signal? Maybe not,
but if you're my age, you may. The Wow Wow
(39:14):
signal was a strong, narrow band radio signal detected on
August fifteenth of nineteen seventy seven by astronomer Jerry Emon
at the Big Ear Radio telescope at Ohio State University,
lasting seventy two seconds. It was notable for its high
intensity thirty times the background noise, and frequency around and
(39:37):
twenty megahertz, which corresponds to the hydrogen line, a logical
choice for an extraterrestrial signal. Emon circled the signals brint
out and wrote Wow exclamation mark next to it, hence
the name. The signal bore characteristics suggesting a non natural origin,
(39:57):
such as its narrow band and high power, but it
was never detected again despite extensive follow up observations. Various
explanations have been provided and proposed, including natural phenomenon like
comets and geophysical emissions, but none have been conclusively proven.
At twenty seventeen study suggested it could have been caused
(40:20):
by Comet two sixty six p the Christians in comment,
though it remains debated due to inconsistencies with the signal
strength and the frequency. No definitive evidence links the signal
to extraterrestrial intelligence, and it remains one of astronomis enduring mysteries.
But a social media post from January sixth by the
(40:43):
Seti Institute and that's SETI it read census detection in
nineteen seventy seven, the Wow signal has captivated the imagination
of scientists and the public alike. This powerful radio signal,
picked up by Big Ear telescope in Ohio, remains one
of the most compelling potential signs of extraterrestrial intelligence ever recorded,
(41:05):
but a new study suggests a natural explanation for this
eight enigmatic event. In a recent conversation, director of Unterstellar
Citizen Science at the Seti Institute, manager of Laser SETI,
discussed a paper by What's this Guy's names Menindez or Mendez,
but uh It proposed a novel explanation for the Wild signal.
(41:28):
The paper suggests that the signal could have been caused
by transient astrophysical phenomenon. The researchers use data from the
Arecibo reds in the Stands for Radio Emission from Red
Dwarf Stars survey and found evidence of signals, albeit much weaker,
but similar to the Wild signal, emanating from clouds of
(41:50):
neutral hydrogen. They proposed that such a signature could have
been amplified in a process called super radiance, which have
made it stronger big enough for the Big Ear telescope
to detect. Mendez and the team suggested that the super
radiance event was triggered by an unknown objects such as
a magnetar and I don't even know what that is,
(42:11):
and produced then tens purst of energy that was detected
by the WOW as the WOW signal. And all this
to bring up a memory, honestly, because I just saw
this tweet in January. It's been on my mind, but
I wanted to mention SETI because I've forgotten all about him.
Like I said, it's SETI and it stands for Search
(42:31):
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence a nonprofit research organization dedicated to understanding
the origins and prevalence of life in the universe. It
was founded in nineteen eighty four. Headquartered in Mountain View, California,
it conducts scientific research, education, and public outreach to explore
the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth all that. Like
(42:55):
I said, for this memory sometime, I want to stay
in the mid nineties, maybe toward the late nineties. I remember,
because I'm old, Like everybody and their brother has had
a PC now right, a home computer, even if you
just moved out like I did. Back then. One of
(43:17):
the very first things I did was go to the
store and buy a home computer. Everyone just had it.
So SETI had been around for years, but all their
data was like overwhelming and they couldn't sort through it all.
So they actually released a program that anybody could put
on their computer, and then when you were done using
(43:39):
your computer and left it on and when it went
to sleep or whatever, this program would run in the
background and actually scan all of Seti's data that it
had received, and it would send the results to SETI.
And I always thought that was ingenious. I thought it
(43:59):
was neat and it seems like like one of the
first instances of like crowdsourcing. Maybe I don't know, but
but I have that program. I had that program on
my computer, and I remember being super excited. You know,
I'd stop working on my computer. I'd be at the desk,
you know, farting around and who knows what, and you'd
see after a certain amount of minutes, the program would
(44:23):
highlight at the bottom, and it meant that it was
going through the data. Now, of course, you know that
computer that I had, it was probably an HP or whatever.
You know, it wasn't some super computer that was going
to find a wow signal. But when you get several
thousand or maybe a million PCs out there running at
(44:43):
the same time, that's significant. I thought that was really neat,
and I did it. I know there's a couple other
people that I knew that they also did it, and
I thought that was great, And it was just a
memory that I totally forgot about. I forgot about that
little program. And I remember, if you wanted to it
was an option. It would take up the screen. You
(45:04):
could watch the information fly by and it would mean
absolutely nothing to you. But it was neat and I
always wondered how much that helped SETI, you know, And
then I also remember the day that there was a
pop up and it said they were shutting that crowd
compute thing down. I don't know why. Maybe back then
(45:25):
it was a bandwidth issue. I don't know. You know,
everyone was getting the Internet at their house and everyone
needed more and more bandwidth. I don't know. It's probably
something like that. But who else remembers that? Do you
remember that? If you do, leave me a voicemail eight
one two six one zero nine, zero zero five, or
just compose a short email tell me if you remember,
(45:48):
have any SETI stories or anything like that. Info dot
Soapbox Champion at gmail dot com. And now it's time
for sports. Ghost starts the Savannah Bananas. That's fun to say.
And they're an exhibition barnstorming baseball team based in Who guessed?
(46:11):
Who guessed? You? You there? What's your guess? No? No,
it was Savannah, Georgia. They're renowned for their unique entertainment
focused version of baseball called Banana Ball. Found into twenty sixteen.
They combined competitive baseball with theatrical showmanship, drawing comparison to
the Harlem Grobe Globetrotters for their zany antics, dance routines,
(46:32):
and fan engagement they play at Grayson Stadium have become
a cultural phenomenon, selling out games since their inception and
amassing over six million TikTok followers by twenty twenty three.
And Banana Ball is as a fast paced modified version
of baseball with rules designed for maximum excitement and reduced downtime.
(46:55):
And some of the key rules include games are won
by points. Most runs per inning earn a point, except
in the final inning, where every run counts UH. A
two hour time limit ensures quick games. No bunting or
based stealing in the traditional sense. Batters can steal first
on wild pitches, though fan caught foul balls count as outs,
(47:18):
which I think is fantastic. And there are dance breaks
and player performances between innings. And I just found out
that the Savannah Bananas will have ten games shown on
ESPN or ESPN two, with all games also streaming on
Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. I had no idea, and
I caught a Banana Savannah Bananas game the other night
(47:40):
on Disney Plus and it was pure entertainment and it
was fun. And I suggest you watch and catch however
you can a Savannah Bananas baseball game. And that's going
to do it for this week. All right, thanks now
back to you, and that I'm embarrassed every time I do.
(48:02):
Ah that puts us in the in the spot where
we get a quote of the week. Right, well, you
already heard it this week, and that was Jordan Peterson's.
That's it's damn good and good enough for at least
quote of the week. And again his quote was, A
harmless man is not a good man. A good man
is a very dangerous man who has that undervoluntary control?
(48:25):
Jordan Peterson. Everyone, and now it's time for sugar. That
must be the sugar. Who really loved Pee Wee's Playoffs?
Anybody I did? I watched every episode. I still reference
that show with my siblings from time to time. Pee
(48:46):
Wee's Playhouse aired from September thirteenth, nineteen eighty six to
November tenth, nineteen ninety on CBS. The show ran for
five seasons, with a total of forty five episodes, plus
a tremendous Christmas special. It was broadcast on Saturday mornings,
typically at ten am as part of the CBS children's
(49:06):
programming block. Then, of course there were the Pee Wee
movies Pee Wee's Big Adventure in nineteen eighty five, Big
Top Peewee in nineteen eighty eight, and my favorite, by
leaps and bounds, Pee Wee's Big Holiday from twenty sixteen.
If you haven't seen that, I cannot recommend it more.
(49:27):
It's so funny. It's just a great movie. I think
it's a Netflix exclusive. I think it's Pee Wee's Big Holiday.
We all know about pee Wee Herman from the show
and the movies and other things, but we really don't
know anything about Paul Rubens, the actor behind Peewee. Well
(49:48):
now we can find out a lot more about Rubens
and the origins of Pee Wee Herman in a documentary
called Peewee as Himself.
Speaker 5 (49:58):
Guess what party and You're invited. It's weird to be
in this situation having a documentary made. Because I'm used
to having control of my alter ego. I wanted to
be a performance artist. I could show you my character
(50:19):
is out of nowhere. Pee Wee Herman.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Popped out of me.
Speaker 5 (50:25):
The audience ate it up and went crazy.
Speaker 1 (50:28):
When I first saw Paul as Pee I was like,
who is this little man in this bow tie? And
why is he throwing clipsy rolls of people? Hollywood had
taken notice?
Speaker 5 (50:36):
Meaning how could they not?
Speaker 1 (50:38):
I remember thinking this is going to be really good.
Speaker 5 (50:41):
There wasn't like a moment in the eighties that was
a super cool to be meet and then dark music
bump bump, bump bom. I lost control of my anonymity
that it was devastating. I don't want to come off
like a victim. Some way. I kept who I was
(51:02):
a secret for a really long time. I hid behind
an alter ego.
Speaker 1 (51:07):
Today's secret one is fine.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
I want kids to learn not only as being different. Okay,
let's celebrate it, but I want that not just for you,
but for myself. Death is just so final.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
To be able to get.
Speaker 5 (51:27):
Your message in at the last minute is incredible.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
He was so private it was challenging for him to
do the documentary, but he took a leap of faith.
He wanted people to see who he was as Paul, all.
Speaker 5 (51:48):
These different emotions, all these different influences and factors. I
was like a good vessel for it all. I'm going
to leave out the bar where we did enormous amounts
of Drugs. Oh I Didn't.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Pee Wee as Himself is a tribute to Paul Rubens,
revealing the man behind the iconic character while correcting the
narrative around his scandals. It celebrates his groundbreaking, groundbreaking contributions
to comedy and pop culture, offering sort of a closure
for fans and a deeper understanding of his life. For
(52:39):
those who grew up with Pee Wee's Playhouse or pee
Wee's Big Adventure. It's a nostalgic, emotional journey. For others,
it's an introduction to a visionary artist who reshaped entertainment
back then. It's deep, guys. Sometimes it's a little dark
and sweet the whole way through. And I can't tell
(53:02):
you much more, as so much is revealed in the documentary,
starting with his childhood and abruptly ending in his death.
It's a two part documentary, and I know I've said
I don't like those, but this was long enough. It
would have been way too long of a movie, and
it was all good, so I didn't mind. Plus, you
(53:27):
need all the time it takes for Rubens to tell
his story, and there are so many details, some hilarious
and some very very sad. And all of it needs
to be seen, and he wanted all of it to
be heard. Rubens was funny up until his last days,
(53:48):
just naturally funny, the kind of funny that never gets
shut off completely. But it's clever and smart. If you
enjoyed Pee Wee's Playhouse, then this documentary as a treasure
trove of facts and inside knowledge and you really get
to see the show grow from concept all the way
(54:08):
to finish. If you didn't watch Pee Wee's Playhouse, it
doesn't matter. It's explained for everyone and you won't miss
anything and you'll understand. I can't really say much more
about it because the show does it so much better
and just a great job of it explaining, and I
(54:30):
more than I could do, and I highly recommend it.
We watched it as a family and enjoyed it very much.
But I would say it's a strong PG. Thirteen. It's
not too outrageous, but there are some topics that little
kids won't get or don't need to hear about. Offensive. No,
not really, sort of adult ish. Yes, if you get
(54:55):
a chance, watch it because Paul Rubins wanted you to.
You will laugh mostly, but you will probably cry a
little bit. Too. Pee Wee as Himself is a two
part HBO original series. The premiered May twenty third on
HBO and Max directed by Matt Wolf And It's just
(55:19):
so darn good, So I made it this week's sugar.
That is the end of episode one eight eight of
the Soapbox Champion podcast. Thank you guys for listening, Thanks
for putting up with me and letting me get stuff
off my mind and sharing a little bit with you.
Thank you. I appreciate it. If you can't get enough
(55:42):
of me, Lord knows, I don't know who that is.
But if you can't follow me on social media Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Truth,
Blue Sky Facebook, I say Facebook. Facebook just rolls off
the tongue first, but not threads. I hate threads. It's stupid.
Speaker 3 (55:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
Got an idea for a show, got a comment, got
a complaint, Got something you need to get off your mind?
Leave me a voicemail at eight on two six one
zero nine, zero zero five or composing an email. Can
you do that? Still? Get on that old computer info
dot Soapbox Champion at gmail dot com. A feeling down,
(56:21):
feeling weird about stuff? That's okay. A lot of people
are but if you want to talk to someone you can.
This is a side. Christis Lifeline is available twenty four
hours day. It's always the number. It's weird, nine eight eight.
I know, I know that doesn't sound like a phone number,
(56:42):
but it is. It's just three numbers, nine eight eight.
You can even text that thing if you're not quite
ready to talk to a human yet. You know what
I'm saying. I get it.
Speaker 5 (56:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Come back next Tuesday, guys, six point thirty pm Central
Standard Time, earlier in video form over on rumble Go.
Check that out, follow me on, take care of yourself
on one another. As always, I'll talk to you next week.
See you, Jerry, Can I get a Selfone three Palestine.
(57:16):
I don't care about punt stick. That's sorry.
And this is going to sound like bragging, and I
just don't care. This is the Soapbox Champion podcast. Yes, ma'am,
(00:35):
it is the Soapbox Champion Podcast. It's the one for Tuesday,
June third, twenty twenty five. Of course, it's episode one
eighty eight. I'm Craig Delaney. H I had a good week.
Did you guys have a good I feel like sometimes
we're meeting in person and I have to ask you
(00:55):
if you had a good week. I don't know, is
it weird? I don't know nicety, need more niceties? Uh,
it's not all about me, you know. So it's my
way of showing that, you know, I'll give it. I
give a crap about you two. I guess I don't know,
habits whatever. Maybe I was just raised right, maybe, you know. Uh,
(01:18):
try not be too too chippering joyous. Uh. It's a
real crap day on Sunday, and especially in Boulder, Colorado.
Sure you've seen by now. A violent attack occurred at
the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado during a peaceful
demonstration organized by the group Run for Their Lives to
(01:42):
raise awareness for Israeli hostages held by a mass Uh
my my gut, my hardened, stupid gut wants to say, yeah,
we're aware, we are aware, civilians were aware, there's hostages
held by Amas. Uh, we're well aware. Yeah, do something useful.
(02:03):
That's what my gut wants to say. But my heart
knows better. I guess I don't know whatever. Almost this
is all operating on the assumption that their hearts are
in the right place. I don't know, wrong place, wrong time,
And again my gut wants to say, don't put yourself
in that place at the wrong time. But it is
(02:23):
free country, and do what they want. I mean, really,
it's just a weird it's the weird spot. But anyway,
the suspect stands Muhammed Solomon, the forty five year old
Egyptian national, and he allegedly shouted free Palestine and in
Zionists while using makeshift flamethrower. There's no footage of that.
(02:45):
I wanted to know if it was the rule King
one just out of curio, morbid curiosity, and you threw
Molotov cocktails under the crowd and injuring twelve people. The victims,
four men and four women, age between fifty four and
eighty eight. So for burn victims. Four victims were taken
to Boulder Community Hospital and two others were airlifted to
(03:05):
burn in it An, Aurora. Thankfully no fatalities. But burns
are bad, you guys. Burns are bad, especially at that level.
I don't wish it on anyone. Solomon, who had been
planning the attack for a year, according to police, and
I guess he said that. I read somewhere that he
(03:26):
admitted to do that. He was arrested at the scene
with sixteen additional unused molotov cocktails in his possession. He
faces federal hate crime charges, thank goodness, sixteen counts of
attempted murder and other felonies, including use of an incendiary device.
(03:49):
He's being held on a ten million dollar bond and
was scheduled for quart appearance on June second, just yesterday,
And I don't know what became of that. The FBI
is investigating the incident as a targeted terror attack, and
Solomon reportedly told investigators he targeted the group due to
their pro Israel stance. Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redford and
(04:14):
the FBI confirmed Solomon was not previously known to law
enforcement as a threat. Of course, no one's known as
a threat until they are a threat. Just like when
somebody's stupid dog comes up to bite me and they
say he doesn't bite. I always say no dog bites
till they do the first time, you know. The attack
(04:38):
has raised some concerns about rising anti Semitism, with Colorado
Governor Jared Polis noting its impact on the Jewish community.
President Donald Trump and White House officials attributed the incident
to lacks immigration policies, which is partially to blame, not all, though,
citing Solomon's expired tourist visa and subsequent work authorization. The
(05:01):
FBI searched Solomon's apartment in Colorado Springs, where he lived
with his family. But all that, you know, I don't
want to give this guy notoriety, fame or anything. I
don't give a damn about him. Take him in the back,
do away with him. All this to say, when the
(05:22):
dust settled, I thought, this is crazy, and this is
now like typical violence on our streets. So were something
that has nothing to do with the US. We meddle
too much around the world. We know it, and also
much much more than you and I will ever know.
(05:42):
The first eye witness video was interesting and it was sad,
and I watched it about five times. I saw it
on x immediately and shortly after Solomon threw a couple
Molotov cocktails and burn people alive. I saw a few
cell phones pointed right at him, but nothing else pointed
right at him. Here's some of the audio from that
(06:05):
very clip. And the voice you'll hear and the voice
you hear me talking about after is that of a
woman actively taking this video of the suspect after he
burned people alive in front of her.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I wish I had my gun with me.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'll do it. I wish I had my gun with me.
I'd do it. Yeah, those people with all the burns,
wish you had your gun with you as well. Unprepared,
out of touch people carry it or sell it. You guys,
you don't usually don't get the chance to say you
(06:49):
wish you had your gun with you. Her and another
person a man can be seeing in this video aiming
their phones at the suspect. The man looks aggressive to you,
He looks overly aggressive to get this video, getting closer
and closer with his phone to the suspect, who is
still actively enraged, and he looks like the same way
(07:10):
you would try and get footage of a cobra that's
ready to strike. You know, he's leaning forward with his
cell phone and backing up when he thinks he should
should have been a gun. Colorado is a self issue
or a shout issue state for concealed carry permits. Residents
twenty one and older can obtain a concealed handgun permit
through their county sheriff. In this case, that would be
(07:32):
Boulder County Sheriff's office. They're valid for five years. This
permit allows concealed carry statewide, subject to some local restrictions.
Like they all are, some of the Boulder City restrictions.
Sensitive public places, sensitive areas. It's a generic term, but
they also give some examples government buildings, and these are
(07:55):
typical prohibitive places. Government buildings, polling places, banks and financial institution, theaters, hospitals, healthcare,
places of worship unless the governing body opts out, I
will absolutely carry in a place of worship, other locations
designated by the city with posted signage. These people could
(08:19):
have legally been concealed caring at the scene, and maybe
a couple less people get burned alive, and maybe the
suspect lies down and waits for the police instead of
threatening to do more violence. Huh, how many people were injured?
How many witnesses just would have taken one person to
eliminate the threat? Some post on x claim the police
(08:41):
response took over ten minutes. Nationally, police response times vary
widely depending on the city and the nature of the call,
with averages ranging from three to fifteen minutes for emergency situations.
According to a twenty fourteen FBI report on active shooter
incident nearby Colorado Springs, Colorado, reported in an average response
(09:04):
time of about fourteen minutes and twenty one seconds for
Priority one calls. In twenty twenty three, Priority one is
top priority life threatening. Fourteen minutes for Priority one. I
just think about that. What if your child was Priority
(09:25):
one and you're sitting there waiting for fourteen minutes? Come on,
I don't know what time he started, you know, hurtling
fire at people, But how long did it take to
burn twelve people? Eight minutes, ten minutes? One person with
one gun could have stopped him after the first victim,
and then we all quietly and peacefully wait another nine
(09:47):
minutes for the police to arrive. And clean up the mess.
It's violence. Yeah, sure, you know. Whenever you use your weapon,
it's violence. Violence in this instant is find as quote
rougher injurious physical force, action or treatment end quote. If
there ever was an appropriate time for violence situation like
(10:12):
this to eliminate a threat, the man was a threat
right up until the police put him in handcuffs, over
ten minutes after he burned twelve people. And you've probably
heard the quote, and I've said it because it's easily rememberable,
it's it's memorable, and it's it's a good quote. It's
the answer to a violent man is a more violent man.
(10:33):
I don't know who to contribute that quote to you
because I've heard it for so many years, but I
think Jordan Peterson said it much much better. He said, quote,
A harmless man is not a good man. A good
man is a very dangerous man who has that undervoluntary control.
End quote. Guns aren't the problem, and in this case,
(10:57):
it was fire and hate and ironically, a gun in
the hands of a responsible person, which is most persons,
it could have saved several people from serious bodil injury
in Boulder, Colorado, this past Sunday, that's what I'm saying.
Now for some good news, everyone INIH no longer recommends
(11:19):
COVID vaccine to kids and pregnant people. As of May
twenty seventh, the s Department of Health and Human Services,
led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, announced that the
SITTERS the Disease Control and Prevention would no longer recommend
routine COVID nineteen vaccinations for healthy children those are six
months to seventeen years, and healthy pregnant people from pbs
(11:43):
of all places.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
In a significant shift, this week, HELTHS Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Junior, joined by FDA Commissioner doctor Martin McCarey an
NIH director doctor j. Badcharia, announced that COVID nineteen vaccines
will no longer be recommended for healthy children and preg individuals.
That sparked concerns from some public health officials and medical professionals,
(12:05):
but Commissioner McCarey has defended the new guidelines and he
joins us now to discuss that and other major health news. Commissioner,
welcome to the news.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Going to be with Yamna, Thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So let's start with that vaccine announcement as you've heard
some people say this was an end run around CDC
that doesn't currently have a permanent director. There's an Advisory
Council on Vaccinations that usually weighs in on these decisions.
They are scheduled to meet in late June. Why not
wait for them to meet before making any kind of announcement.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
So most of America has said no to the COVID booster.
Last year, about eighty five percent of healthcare workers refused
the COVID booster last year, and very few children are
getting the COVID booster. For eighty eight percent of children,
their parents said no to the COVID booster. So we
can't have this huge disconnect. And the reality is people
want to either see more data where they have some concerns,
(12:56):
and so we need to provide that data for the
public to make the case right now. When we walk
came into office, there was this absolute universal recommendation at
the CDC and so the Secretary consulted with a number
of physicians and decided that he wanted to turn that
decision back to a physician and they're the patient, and
(13:17):
we would be more in line with Europe because in
the UK, for example, they only recommend the COVID booster
if you're seventy five years of age and high risk,
or in France it's eighty years of age and high risk.
So we're really getting closer to the European model. And
then the idea that you need a COVID booster every
year in perpetuity. That is, a young baby born today
needs eighty shots in her average lifetime. That was a theory,
(13:40):
a theory that's not supported with any randomized control trial data.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
A lot to make fun of or break down here,
eighty five percent of healthcare workers refuse the booster, and
eighty eight percent of kids parents refused the booster and
their kids. That's a large majority, a larger majority able
to think for themselves and think critically trust the science.
(14:07):
They said, Oh, you don't trust science, maga you maga.
Do I trust science? Yeah, but not if I can't
see the science, show it to me, lay it out,
don't show it to me, and then permanently ban me
from YouTube from talking about it. As we heard during
(14:28):
the height of COVID, trust the science. That was the
slogan all over TV, all over social media. But also
there was no science on TV or social media. It
was hollow. It was just something people said, this is
doctor James Tour.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
If the media says believe the science, I immediately am
quite skeptical. Yes, really really, because the person saying that
doesn't understand the science. It's like I told you, the
real science is very difficult to understand. If you want
to look at medical sciences. That's especially difficult epidemiology looking
at things and trends over human beings lifetime, it's very
(15:12):
hard to know long term effects. For example, because people
are living seventy eighty ninety years, it's very hard to
make an assessment. Very hard to know what caused that sickness.
Is that from something that happened, you know, twenty years ago?
Very hard to know. We just don't have the analytical
tools to make that judgement.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
One of the first things I do when I evaluate
an article is, you know, I try to figure out
where did most of the funding come from.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
You know, I've been critiquing the origin of life for
quite some time. Right, It's not just follow the money. Yeah,
these people are getting certain grants from certain foundations that
but then also its careers, its reputations.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Doctor James Tour is an American chemist, nanotechnologist and professor
of material science and nanoengineering at Rice University in Houston, US.
The science was propaganda that entire time, and I think
we know that now. And just to destroy the PBS
SoundBite some more, they mentioned getting closer to a European model.
(16:13):
What the hell does that even mean?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
And we would be more in line with Europe because
in the UK, for example, they only recommend the COVID
booster if you're seventy five years of age and high risk,
or in France it's eighty years of age and high risk.
So we're really getting closer to the European model.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Closer to that model. What is there different science when
you leave the US? Is it different there? What about math?
Is that different? Outside of the US? Science is science? People?
I think they meant opinion the entire time, and still
(16:51):
what they really mean is trust the opinion. That's how
it felt and that's what it always was, as in,
we wanted to act like the Europeans are acting when
it came to vaccinations and boosters. Science would be the
same everywhere, right, same results, if it were true science.
Well let's talk about that just a little bit. The
(17:12):
key principles of science is objectivity, minimize bias through standardized
procedures and peer review. Still really never been that. For
the COVID vaccine, there were no standardized procedures at all.
How they even sneakily changed the very definition of vaccine
to fit the narrative back then. That's like faking science.
(17:35):
You can't change the rules to force your science to work.
Your science has to work under certain rules. Falsifiability hypothesis.
Hypothesis must be testable, incapable of being proven wrong. You
can't do it. When referencing the vaccine, everything was testable.
(17:58):
They just didn't take the time, have the time, and
it was rushed and it was proven wrong over and
over again. Reproductive reproducibility experiments should yield consistent results when repeated.
There was zero consistency when you got the vaccine. Sometimes
(18:20):
you got covid, sometimes you didn't, sometimes you got twice.
Sometimes it was severe, sometimes it wasn't, no matter what
vaccine you got or how many boosters. It was all
over the place. And then skepticism, question assumptions and verify
findings through rigorous testing. Obviously there was no rigorous testing.
(18:44):
That's a big one. There was nothing but skepticism, but
they refused to listen. They tried to force their science
aka opinion, and absolutely nothing was verified for all those years.
All this to mean there was never any science, just
scare tactics, lies, bribes, and mandates. Let's never forget.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
At the time New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
bribing people with free shake Shack food for getting vaccinated.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
You say free fries when you get vaccinated. I got vaccinated.
You're saying I could get this a delicious fries.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Why mat?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
But there's also a burger element to this. Let me
check with Bill neath hard is it too early in
the day to eat a bird? This could be breakfast ghosts. Okay,
I want you to look at this and think about again.
Some people love hamburger. Some don't really want to respect
all ways of life. But if this is appealing to you,
(19:57):
just think of this when you think of vaccination doxations.
I'm getting a very good feeling about vaccination right this moment.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Uh, Did you feel like a four year old? Because
that's how you talk to us. It's gross. And before
we get away from PBS, in that sound bite, did
you notice how they worded the people who are no
longer recommended for getting a booster. Listen again.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
For healthy children and pregnant individuals.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Pregnant individuals not pregnant women, because we all know men
can get pregnant. I guess right, is that science too?
Is that European science?
Speaker 5 (20:46):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I thought we were trusting the science. What happened to that?
It's all insanity and every bit of it is plain
Jane propaganda. And just a side note here, here's something
I I'm beginning to hear when you dig a little
deeper about stuff these days, like very recently this week,
and I want you all to listen to it for
for it too. And it's a term, and it's vaccine intolerant. Uh.
(21:13):
When people are getting uh uh vaccine injured, they're they're
being called not vaccine injured, they're being called vaccine intolerant,
so placing the blame on the person for getting sick.
But the shit, this is what people are being labeled
in in Australia right now after they become vaccine injured.
(21:34):
See how they like to play word games and pass
the blame cover themselves. I bet it'll be here in
the US soon. So listen for it, vaccine intolerant and
uh and now after uh, after there was the recommendations
for children and pregnant women were was lifted. Well you
(21:57):
got the mainstream media thrown a fit, say and well,
well what about all this? You know what we were
always told? Or why can't we get that? What if
we want to get that, can we still get that?
And now they're saying again, no matter what the recommendations are,
trust your doctor and have a conversation with your doctor.
(22:18):
But during the height of COVID there was none of that.
You weren't even supposed to trust your doctor. You're supposed
to get it no matter what your doctor said.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
It.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's all madness. I'm so sick of it, so sick
of it. So let's move on. There's a US pardon
attorney names Liz Oyer. She's a former pardon attorney and
on May twenty seven and a again PBS News Hour interview.
I'm not picking on PBS, it's just how this all
(22:48):
goes down. PBS News Hour interview. She described Trump's pardon
process as unusual and detriment to those deserving clemency by
bypassing a STABH safeguards. She argued that this approach fuels
a two tiered justice system, implying that an overly broad
and politicized use of pardons. In literally the last two
(23:12):
and a half hours as president, on January twentieth, twenty
twenty five, President Joe Biden issued a series of preemptive
pardons and commutations. He pardoned his entire family, his brother James,
James's wife Sarah for some reason, his sister Valerie for
(23:32):
some reason, and her husband of course, he must have
did something to John t Owens, and Francis W. Biden,
his other brother. These pardons were announced literally minutes before
Trump's inauguration, with Biden's citing unrelenting attacks and threats motivated
by partisan politics as the reason. Fearing continued targeting by
(23:55):
Trump and his allies. He also pardoned the last minute
doctor Anthony Fouchery, General Mark Milli, Marcus Messiah Garvey. He
passed away. He was a Black nationalist leader convicted of
mail fraud in nineteen twenty three. Okay Don Scott of
(24:17):
Virginia House Speaker, convicted of a non violent drug offense
in ninety four. Okay Darryl Chambers, gun violence prevention advocate
convicted of nonviolent drug offenses in nineteen ninety eight. So
I'm saying Biden thinks drugs are fine. It's just guns
that are bad, that's all you know. But one hundred
(24:38):
and seven, five and forty three doug debt drug deats
in twenty twenty three compared to just forty six, seven
hundred and twenty eight gun deaths. However, twenty eight thousand,
four hundred and six of those deaths were either by suicide, unintentional,
or police involved. Actually, just eighteen thousand, three hundred and
(24:58):
twenty two homicides by gun twenty twenty three versus one
hundred and seven five and forty three drug overdose deaths.
So stop acting like drug crime is a lesser crime.
It's not. Ernest William Comarty, former South Carolina City councilmen,
convicted of nonviolent offense. Gerald Lundgerdon Lundergan, former Kentucky State
(25:23):
Legislature legislator, convicted of a non violence offense. Robbie Ragbaier,
immigrant advocate, convicted of nonviolent offense in two thousand and one.
And we're not done all January sixth, committee members and
their staff. Biden pardoned all members and staff of the
(25:45):
House Select Committee to investigate January sixth attack on the
US Capitol. Now pardon them from what you know. You
know when you get pardoned, that that's a clue that
you did something wrong, that you just innocent. People don't
get pardoned because they don't need it. That's all there
(26:06):
is to it. The pardons covered the committee staff and
US Capital and DC Metropolitan Police officers who testified before
the committee. Okay, it's just strange. There's others, thirty nine
others convicted in non violent offens. This is fine. Maybe
some of them are fine. Michael Conahan involved in the
(26:31):
Kids for Cash scandal. Remember that Rita Crudwell defrauded Dixon,
Illinois of over fifty million dollars. I guess that's not
a big deal either. You want to talk about kids
for Cash? This may be the headlines for about a week.
The Kids for Cash scandal was a judicial corruption case
in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. I'm covered. In two thousand and eight,
(26:52):
two judges Mark Ciavalira and Michael Conahan, pardoned by Biden,
were convicted of accepting over two point eight million dollars
in kickbacks from private juvenile detention centers in exchange for
sentencing children to detention for minor and made up offenses.
Between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight,
(27:14):
they sent thousands of kids, some as young as thirteen,
to facilities for profit, often without legal representation or any trial.
The scheme exploited the juvenile justice system, prioritizing financial gain
over justice. Both judges were convicted. The one guy got
(27:36):
twenty eight years and Conahan got seventeen point five years.
The case led to significant reforms in Pennsylvania's juvenile justice system.
So priorities Huh funny how crimes against children just aren't
a big deal to the left to see, we get
absolutely no progress or updates on the Epstein case, while
(27:56):
the FBI has the entire client list and Epstein's is
alive well and in jail as we speak. Are they
hoping we'll forget? I'm not going to forget. And what's
with Biden pardoning his entire family? Think about this. They
haven't been charged with anything, pardoned from what? And don't forget.
(28:23):
Biden pardoned his son Hunter on December first, twenty twenty four.
The full and unconditional pardon covered federal gun and tax convictions,
as well as any potential offenses Hunter may have committed
from January first, twenty fourteen to December first, twenty twenty
(28:43):
four He was pardoned just weeks before scheduled sentencing for
these convictions, and reversed Biden's repeated public statements that he
would not pardon his son dating back to January first
of twenty fourteen. What's up with that? Oh, that's that's
because of his corruption. Hunter started working for Bisma Holdings
(29:05):
in April of twenty fourteen, initially as counsel in quotes,
and was elevated to board member by May. Barisma is
an energy holdings company in Ukraine. Remember you may also
remember Hunter was accused of influence peddling, bribery, improper lobbying,
(29:26):
and tax evasion. Also, Hunter lacked expertise in energy or
Ukraine for that matter, suggesting his fifty thousand dollars a
month compensation totally about three point four million from twenty
fourteen to twenty fifteen to a company he co controlled
was due to his family name. Hunter acknowledged Barisma valued
(29:50):
his name, but denied wrongdoing. I don't know how you
do both of those things. Acknowledged that they used him
for his name, but denied any Okay, so he stated
he provided advice on legal issues, corporate finance, and strategy
because he seems like that kind of guy, real responsible.
You know, everyone has a has a laptop full of
(30:12):
nude pictures and themselves smoking crack with very young girls,
don't they. Uh. Some Republicans said Hunter should have registered
as a foreign agent for his BERSMA work, though no
charges were ever filed, and his lawyer stated he did
not direct lobbying efforts. Okay, And here you thought Hunter
(30:32):
was just some crackhead with a real greasy laptop.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Oh, that's another thing the FBI has in its possession.
Hunter's laptop makes you wonder who the FBI works for. Yeah,
all of that, But Trump's pardons are too broad. David
Hogg has been in the news recently. He's a strange character,
(30:57):
to say the least. Creepy. Don't trust him. He probably
recognized his name, but you couldn't say why or what
the hell he does. I talked about him in episode
one thirty six. Here's what I had to say about
him back then. It kind of explains him. And then
we'll talk a little bit more about him on This
is Over. Hey, you guys remember David Hogg. He's that real, skinny,
(31:17):
weird looking dude that claims to be a survivor of
the twenty eighteen Parkland school shooting. That's him. He turned
into a gun control advocate, whatever gun control means. No
one can find that. He's contradicted himself many times when
telling the story of where he was during the Parkland shooting.
He's been paraded around all these years as a quote
(31:40):
unquote survivor, but no one listened to him himself say
he wasn't there. I guess here he is.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
On the day of the shooting, I got my camera
and got on my bike and rode as fast as
I could three miles from my house to the school
to get as much video and get as many interviews
as I could, as I knew that miss could not
be another mass shooting.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Okay, And he seems to have become this puppet to
be used and abused by the anti gun movement. That's
pretty much the only reason I ever hear from him.
I always thought there was something off about him, and
if you watch more than a minute or two, you'll
get a vibe. I don't think I'm the only one. Well,
(32:25):
some audio has been found. It's found its way into
the wild of Hog seemingly being coached during an on
the scene interview that day. It's not new audio, but
almost no one will play it. Oh but I will
remember Hogg himself said he was not at the school
and he had to ride his bike three miles from
(32:47):
his house to get there to get video. You just
heard him say that undisputed. Uh interview with him saying that,
But when he got there and was interviewed, it was
a different story. And here's that. Here's that leaked audio.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
Because we had had a fire alarm earlier that day
and that was a drill, So we thought this was
a drill too, just another one, because we have a
lot of fire alarms of a lot of fire drills
at the school. After we heard the first gunshot, we
initially thought it was a drill. Actually that was a
bad choice. Actually that was a bad choice because the janet.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Sorry, you're fine, You're fine.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
Honestly, when I was going out, I was kind of
I wasn't. When I was going out, I.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Was in shock.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
I don't know how to put this is respective. So
most of my friends that made it out. One of
them went into a bathroom in the same I believe,
in the same hallway as the shooter hold on. One
of them went into the same bathroom I believed as
the hallway shooter. He was in there at the same time,
(33:58):
and he was in the bathroom and he didn't know
if he was.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Going to live.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Being a opportunist, David Hogg went on to become a
gun control activist for some reason, and now somehow he
fell forward and is a Democratic National Committee vice chair
somehow because no one likes him, not even on the left.
(34:23):
Last month, Hogg was recorded by Project Veritas in an
undercover video making two claims. First, Joe Biden's chief of
staff controlled the White House. Hogg stated that Anthony Burnell,
Joe Biden's chief of staff, wielded an enormous amount of
power in the Biden administration, describing the inner circle around
(34:45):
Joe Biden as a significant issue. A former Biden's staffer,
Deterryan Jones called Bernal's influences an open secret. End quotes
these comments field speculation about a lack of transparency in
the White House. The Biden White House anyway, remember how
open and transparent, Biden promised he would be, and also
(35:09):
Hogg was recorded saying Nancy Pelosi's stock trading. She criticized
Pelosi's too well timed stock trades, suggesting they implied insider
knowledge and so returns out performed most hedge funds. He
noted he avoided publicly confronting her to prioritize his gun
control agenda, stating, quote, I know that if I pick
(35:32):
that fight, it's going to be harder for us to
get gun control passed. End quote again, priorities. Strange for
someone like that to say these things, But he's young,
and I guess I think the Democrats had planned to
use and abuse him as a school shooting mascot of sorts,
but his credentials never made sense to people like you
(35:52):
and I. I don't think the elderly politicians are used
to you and I having such access to information and
the ability to fact check and think for ourselves. I
think he sort of accidentally moved up the ranks, but
has no friends. You know, when he got there, he's
a nothing, and I hate that he keeps making headlines.
(36:15):
But also he has crazy eyes. He's got eyes just
like most of the school shooters that you see, go
look that up. Put Hog in next to most school
shooters over the last you know, fifteen years, very same
eyes are almost every mass shooter seems to have. Look
it up. I'll put some pictures up on social media
(36:37):
when I get done here, but you'll know when you
see the examples. There's just something not right about him.
And the dude needs protein. He needs to eat protein
so bad. His arms are like buggy whips and he's
scrownny whatever whatever, Who cares. That's all. That's all on
David Hogg, just the service provided by me. You know,
(36:58):
if you hear his name in the news, you'll know
a little bit more about him. Uh. War is weird.
This back and forth between Ukraine and Russia is getting strange.
Neither side wants peace, but it seems also neither is winning.
And now they keep doing this back and forth with
hostages and ceasefires. Every other day it seems I hear
(37:22):
there is a new ceasefire, and every other day it
seems that one side or another violates it. And now
they're stopping fighting to exchange thousands of hostages at a time.
This feels like a forever war, like a war machine
in and of itself, and neither side is trying to win.
I thought war was war. Eliminate one side and retrieve
(37:45):
the spoils or secure the peace right. One day Russia says,
here are thousands of hostages we are returning to you.
The next day Russia's launches of record breaking three hundred
drone attack. You know. On May twenty fifth, Russian attack
attacked with two hundred and ninety eight drones and sixty
nine missiles. The next day, May twenty sixth, they launched
(38:06):
three hundred and fifty five drones. In May twenty seventh,
Russia kills at least three children and it injures eleven
people overnight. And on May thirty first, Russia launched in
four hundred seventy two drones, you know, but ceasefire and
exchange hot which is freaking weird. Those are drone drone
swarms they call them, and not really any outrage over this.
(38:30):
There must be lots and lots of money making, you know,
being had now, especially drone manufacturers. Who are they? Are they?
Russian manufacturers? Are that? Does anyone know? It's like an
endless supply. Don't know whether they're being made strange. Either
win it or quit it, you know. It's like they
don't want peace. And what I'm afraid of is that
(38:53):
they'll just send those thousands right back out to fight.
That's what they're gonna do, both sides, especially Ukraine. It's sad.
I saw social media post mentioning something I'd forgotten all about.
Do you remember hearing though about the Wow signal? Maybe not,
but if you're my age, you may. The Wow Wow
(39:14):
signal was a strong, narrow band radio signal detected on
August fifteenth of nineteen seventy seven by astronomer Jerry Emon
at the Big Ear Radio telescope at Ohio State University,
lasting seventy two seconds. It was notable for its high
intensity thirty times the background noise, and frequency around and
(39:37):
twenty megahertz, which corresponds to the hydrogen line, a logical
choice for an extraterrestrial signal. Emon circled the signals brint
out and wrote Wow exclamation mark next to it, hence
the name. The signal bore characteristics suggesting a non natural origin,
(39:57):
such as its narrow band and high power, but it
was never detected again despite extensive follow up observations. Various
explanations have been provided and proposed, including natural phenomenon like
comets and geophysical emissions, but none have been conclusively proven.
At twenty seventeen study suggested it could have been caused
(40:20):
by Comet two sixty six p the Christians in comment,
though it remains debated due to inconsistencies with the signal
strength and the frequency. No definitive evidence links the signal
to extraterrestrial intelligence, and it remains one of astronomis enduring mysteries.
But a social media post from January sixth by the
(40:43):
Seti Institute and that's SETI it read census detection in
nineteen seventy seven, the Wow signal has captivated the imagination
of scientists and the public alike. This powerful radio signal,
picked up by Big Ear telescope in Ohio, remains one
of the most compelling potential signs of extraterrestrial intelligence ever recorded,
(41:05):
but a new study suggests a natural explanation for this
eight enigmatic event. In a recent conversation, director of Unterstellar
Citizen Science at the Seti Institute, manager of Laser SETI,
discussed a paper by What's this Guy's names Menindez or Mendez,
but uh It proposed a novel explanation for the Wild signal.
(41:28):
The paper suggests that the signal could have been caused
by transient astrophysical phenomenon. The researchers use data from the
Arecibo reds in the Stands for Radio Emission from Red
Dwarf Stars survey and found evidence of signals, albeit much weaker,
but similar to the Wild signal, emanating from clouds of
(41:50):
neutral hydrogen. They proposed that such a signature could have
been amplified in a process called super radiance, which have
made it stronger big enough for the Big Ear telescope
to detect. Mendez and the team suggested that the super
radiance event was triggered by an unknown objects such as
a magnetar and I don't even know what that is,
(42:11):
and produced then tens purst of energy that was detected
by the WOW as the WOW signal. And all this
to bring up a memory, honestly, because I just saw
this tweet in January. It's been on my mind, but
I wanted to mention SETI because I've forgotten all about him.
Like I said, it's SETI and it stands for Search
(42:31):
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence a nonprofit research organization dedicated to understanding
the origins and prevalence of life in the universe. It
was founded in nineteen eighty four. Headquartered in Mountain View, California,
it conducts scientific research, education, and public outreach to explore
the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth all that. Like
(42:55):
I said, for this memory sometime, I want to stay
in the mid nineties, maybe toward the late nineties. I remember,
because I'm old, Like everybody and their brother has had
a PC now right, a home computer, even if you
just moved out like I did. Back then. One of
(43:17):
the very first things I did was go to the
store and buy a home computer. Everyone just had it.
So SETI had been around for years, but all their
data was like overwhelming and they couldn't sort through it all.
So they actually released a program that anybody could put
on their computer, and then when you were done using
(43:39):
your computer and left it on and when it went
to sleep or whatever, this program would run in the
background and actually scan all of Seti's data that it
had received, and it would send the results to SETI.
And I always thought that was ingenious. I thought it
(43:59):
was neat and it seems like like one of the
first instances of like crowdsourcing. Maybe I don't know, but
but I have that program. I had that program on
my computer, and I remember being super excited. You know,
I'd stop working on my computer. I'd be at the desk,
you know, farting around and who knows what, and you'd
see after a certain amount of minutes, the program would
(44:23):
highlight at the bottom, and it meant that it was
going through the data. Now, of course, you know that
computer that I had, it was probably an HP or whatever.
You know, it wasn't some super computer that was going
to find a wow signal. But when you get several
thousand or maybe a million PCs out there running at
(44:43):
the same time, that's significant. I thought that was really neat,
and I did it. I know there's a couple other
people that I knew that they also did it, and
I thought that was great, And it was just a
memory that I totally forgot about. I forgot about that
little program. And I remember, if you wanted to it
was an option. It would take up the screen. You
(45:04):
could watch the information fly by and it would mean
absolutely nothing to you. But it was neat and I
always wondered how much that helped SETI, you know, And
then I also remember the day that there was a
pop up and it said they were shutting that crowd
compute thing down. I don't know why. Maybe back then
(45:25):
it was a bandwidth issue. I don't know. You know,
everyone was getting the Internet at their house and everyone
needed more and more bandwidth. I don't know. It's probably
something like that. But who else remembers that? Do you
remember that? If you do, leave me a voicemail eight
one two six one zero nine, zero zero five, or
just compose a short email tell me if you remember,
(45:48):
have any SETI stories or anything like that. Info dot
Soapbox Champion at gmail dot com. And now it's time
for sports. Ghost starts the Savannah Bananas. That's fun to say.
And they're an exhibition barnstorming baseball team based in Who guessed?
(46:11):
Who guessed? You? You there? What's your guess? No? No,
it was Savannah, Georgia. They're renowned for their unique entertainment
focused version of baseball called Banana Ball. Found into twenty sixteen.
They combined competitive baseball with theatrical showmanship, drawing comparison to
the Harlem Grobe Globetrotters for their zany antics, dance routines,
(46:32):
and fan engagement they play at Grayson Stadium have become
a cultural phenomenon, selling out games since their inception and
amassing over six million TikTok followers by twenty twenty three.
And Banana Ball is as a fast paced modified version
of baseball with rules designed for maximum excitement and reduced downtime.
(46:55):
And some of the key rules include games are won
by points. Most runs per inning earn a point, except
in the final inning, where every run counts UH. A
two hour time limit ensures quick games. No bunting or
based stealing in the traditional sense. Batters can steal first
on wild pitches, though fan caught foul balls count as outs,
(47:18):
which I think is fantastic. And there are dance breaks
and player performances between innings. And I just found out
that the Savannah Bananas will have ten games shown on
ESPN or ESPN two, with all games also streaming on
Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. I had no idea, and
I caught a Banana Savannah Bananas game the other night
(47:40):
on Disney Plus and it was pure entertainment and it
was fun. And I suggest you watch and catch however
you can a Savannah Bananas baseball game. And that's going
to do it for this week. All right, thanks now
back to you, and that I'm embarrassed every time I do.
(48:02):
Ah that puts us in the in the spot where
we get a quote of the week. Right, well, you
already heard it this week, and that was Jordan Peterson's.
That's it's damn good and good enough for at least
quote of the week. And again his quote was, A
harmless man is not a good man. A good man
is a very dangerous man who has that undervoluntary control?
(48:25):
Jordan Peterson. Everyone, and now it's time for sugar. That
must be the sugar. Who really loved Pee Wee's Playoffs?
Anybody I did? I watched every episode. I still reference
that show with my siblings from time to time. Pee
(48:46):
Wee's Playhouse aired from September thirteenth, nineteen eighty six to
November tenth, nineteen ninety on CBS. The show ran for
five seasons, with a total of forty five episodes, plus
a tremendous Christmas special. It was broadcast on Saturday mornings,
typically at ten am as part of the CBS children's
(49:06):
programming block. Then, of course there were the Pee Wee
movies Pee Wee's Big Adventure in nineteen eighty five, Big
Top Peewee in nineteen eighty eight, and my favorite, by
leaps and bounds, Pee Wee's Big Holiday from twenty sixteen.
If you haven't seen that, I cannot recommend it more.
(49:27):
It's so funny. It's just a great movie. I think
it's a Netflix exclusive. I think it's Pee Wee's Big Holiday.
We all know about pee Wee Herman from the show
and the movies and other things, but we really don't
know anything about Paul Rubens, the actor behind Peewee. Well
(49:48):
now we can find out a lot more about Rubens
and the origins of Pee Wee Herman in a documentary
called Peewee as Himself.
Speaker 5 (49:58):
Guess what party and You're invited. It's weird to be
in this situation having a documentary made. Because I'm used
to having control of my alter ego. I wanted to
be a performance artist. I could show you my character
(50:19):
is out of nowhere. Pee Wee Herman.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Popped out of me.
Speaker 5 (50:25):
The audience ate it up and went crazy.
Speaker 1 (50:28):
When I first saw Paul as Pee I was like,
who is this little man in this bow tie? And
why is he throwing clipsy rolls of people? Hollywood had
taken notice?
Speaker 5 (50:36):
Meaning how could they not?
Speaker 1 (50:38):
I remember thinking this is going to be really good.
Speaker 5 (50:41):
There wasn't like a moment in the eighties that was
a super cool to be meet and then dark music
bump bump, bump bom. I lost control of my anonymity
that it was devastating. I don't want to come off
like a victim. Some way. I kept who I was
(51:02):
a secret for a really long time. I hid behind
an alter ego.
Speaker 1 (51:07):
Today's secret one is fine.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
I want kids to learn not only as being different. Okay,
let's celebrate it, but I want that not just for you,
but for myself. Death is just so final.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
To be able to get.
Speaker 5 (51:27):
Your message in at the last minute is incredible.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
He was so private it was challenging for him to
do the documentary, but he took a leap of faith.
He wanted people to see who he was as Paul, all.
Speaker 5 (51:48):
These different emotions, all these different influences and factors. I
was like a good vessel for it all. I'm going
to leave out the bar where we did enormous amounts
of Drugs. Oh I Didn't.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Pee Wee as Himself is a tribute to Paul Rubens,
revealing the man behind the iconic character while correcting the
narrative around his scandals. It celebrates his groundbreaking, groundbreaking contributions
to comedy and pop culture, offering sort of a closure
for fans and a deeper understanding of his life. For
(52:39):
those who grew up with Pee Wee's Playhouse or pee
Wee's Big Adventure. It's a nostalgic, emotional journey. For others,
it's an introduction to a visionary artist who reshaped entertainment
back then. It's deep, guys. Sometimes it's a little dark
and sweet the whole way through. And I can't tell
(53:02):
you much more, as so much is revealed in the documentary,
starting with his childhood and abruptly ending in his death.
It's a two part documentary, and I know I've said
I don't like those, but this was long enough. It
would have been way too long of a movie, and
it was all good, so I didn't mind. Plus, you
(53:27):
need all the time it takes for Rubens to tell
his story, and there are so many details, some hilarious
and some very very sad. And all of it needs
to be seen, and he wanted all of it to
be heard. Rubens was funny up until his last days,
(53:48):
just naturally funny, the kind of funny that never gets
shut off completely. But it's clever and smart. If you
enjoyed Pee Wee's Playhouse, then this documentary as a treasure
trove of facts and inside knowledge and you really get
to see the show grow from concept all the way
(54:08):
to finish. If you didn't watch Pee Wee's Playhouse, it
doesn't matter. It's explained for everyone and you won't miss
anything and you'll understand. I can't really say much more
about it because the show does it so much better
and just a great job of it explaining, and I
(54:30):
more than I could do, and I highly recommend it.
We watched it as a family and enjoyed it very much.
But I would say it's a strong PG. Thirteen. It's
not too outrageous, but there are some topics that little
kids won't get or don't need to hear about. Offensive. No,
not really, sort of adult ish. Yes, if you get
(54:55):
a chance, watch it because Paul Rubins wanted you to.
You will laugh mostly, but you will probably cry a
little bit. Too. Pee Wee as Himself is a two
part HBO original series. The premiered May twenty third on
HBO and Max directed by Matt Wolf And It's just
(55:19):
so darn good, So I made it this week's sugar.
