Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, do to unforeseen circumstances, this is going to be
a two parter tonight, but that's fine because at least
we'll be on time for forgetting.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
And this is if you ask me the best of
the two, the two parts, I just feel it in my bones.
Rather perceptive skeletons.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Receptive skeleton. Okay, I'll take that all right. Well, as promised,
we're going to rant a little bit and this week's
rentable question is w T F. Kamala or Kamala or

(00:44):
whatever you're calling yourself this week. By the way, she's
mispronounced her own name on more than one occasion. Kamal
law thing is is is new because that.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Sounds trying to trap people into being called racist.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Because the Indian pronunciation, according to actual Indians who you know,
named their children Kamala. That's how it's pronounced. Is Kamala.
That she doesn't want to be Indian anymore, even though
that's all she really is. So but apparently that's more
important to her than you know, anything else. But we're
not going to go down that path. We're going to

(01:20):
talk about her absolute failure. And yes it's her because
everybody knows that. Biden ain't even dude doesn't even know
where he is half the dang time. And this is her.
And first of all, the absolute just insult of coming

(01:43):
out and telling people that they can apply to get
their own tax money back. Well, eight billion dollars the
same week was sent over to corrupt money laundering country Ukraine. You,
the tax paying citizen whose money was sent to you

(02:04):
were carrying against your will, can apply to receive a
whole whopping seven and fifty dollars. Lucky, lucky, you pay
the rent for most people, well, not to mention the
fact that they have nothing to pay the rent on
since everything they have ever owned or known or had
is gone. Now that's volume.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
A basket full of groceries.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Not if you can't get groceries, there's there's there's no
groceries to be had.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
No, I'm just being facetious.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
And over the top. And meanwhile, now this is a
little bit old news. Things have changed a little bit,
but it shouldn't have had to gone through all the
channels that it did. But Elon Musk himself was trying
to send SpaceX engineers over there so that people could
at least if they can get power or anything they
could at least get internet or at least phone service

(02:59):
for phones that are ching, so that they can contact
people or get help. And they were being met in
every direction with resistance. Why why it makes no sense. Yeah,
it makes no sense. So they've been denied access. So

(03:20):
like if they're trying to fly over to get video
for some reason, they're now being threatened with arrest. If
individual pilots try to fly into rescue people, they're being
threatened with arrest. So these people are completely cut off.

(03:42):
I mean, look at this. These used to be roads,
Those used to be roads that people would travel on.
It looks like it looks like a roaded ocean front
property after the tsunami. I mean, look at this. There's
nothing there and the few houses that are left standing
are destroyed. On the inside, they've been completely I mean,
look there's cars on the side. I mean, these houses

(04:02):
are even those that did weren't completely flooded out, are
so far removed from anything. They can't get electricity, they
can't get running water, they can't get groceries. The supplies
are being denied them. People way out here in lodges
and hotels that they are completely cut off and they're
being turned volunteers are being turned away. It makes it

(04:27):
makes no sense at all. And now they're being told that.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Do you think it's because a lot of these areas
are Trump's strongholds.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I don't want to think that way. I've also I've
also heard rumors that they've found Lithian. I don't want
to think that way either. I really I really don't
want to I really don't. And that's the thing. So
many of my left leaning and sometimes even flaming liberal
friends are always asking me, do you really believe this?
Do you really believe that? The answer is always I

(05:02):
don't want to, right, And if you can prove it wrong,
I would be really delighted over the moon. But you know,
you will absolutely believe on hundred percent that the sitting
president of the United States said to drink bleach, or
you know that he's a convicted which he's not of

(05:22):
you know, all these heinous Now look at that house
completely torn apart. Yeah, you know, you'll believe anything because
it fits your narrative. And then you turn around and say, well,
do you really believe this is opening? Well, why would
you want to believe the things that you believe? And
not even check it. Why would you want to believe that?
Because the things that I'm seeing, the things that I'm
looking at right now with my own eyes, the things

(05:44):
that I'm hearing from people who's who are there, whose
boots are on the ground, who are dealing with this
right now, I don't want to believe that. And yet
there it is. There it is. But you hear this crazy,
stupid ass rumor that's easily verified as untrue, and you're like, Nope,
I believe it. Hookland Sinker, totally want to believe it.

(06:06):
Wanna sounds right. Why would you want to believe that?
Why would you want it says more about you than
it does about the person that you're accusing.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
This is just.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
These poor people, these poor people, so they're being told
that they're not allowed to fly drones, that if you
try to actually come in and help, you're undermining the
rescue organize. What happened to Americans not only banding together,
which they're trying to do against the government's wishes, but

(06:41):
the government getting in and saying, Okay, let's get everybody
together and let's do this, and let's do that. And
the government is supposed to facilitate it, not stop it.
It's you know, when if you have an army of
people that are coming in to rescue each other and
help each other, you don't stop them, you don't thwart them.
You organize them. That's your job. That's literally your only

(07:06):
job is a government. You organize them. That's what you do.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
That's what you do.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
So, I mean, Elon must probably the most powerful and
rich person on the planet right now, is trying to
help them get connected, and the government's like nah. So
finally he starts getting answers. You know, let me know
who the blockades are. We'll have the state police move
them out of the way. And FEMA has zero jurisdiction.

(07:35):
So I mean, this went around for quite a bit
and finally, finally, finally you got Booty Juice and Majorcas
to get off their each other's thumbs and actually do something.
But meanwhile, you've got people that are on the ground
with video with the receipts saying that they won't let
them in. We carry a five hundred pound payload of

(07:56):
supplies for those in needs. Nope, sitting here. They wanted
to go to nursing homes in the affected area. They
were cut off, not allowed, won't let us do anything.
And and you know, so here are these people that
are banding together and trying to help their fellow citizens
and the government, the people that we that extort our money.

(08:20):
When you have a flat tire, you change it. You
don't drive around on it for four more years to see.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Oh that's brutal, that's brutal.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah you don't. Yeah, this is treason. I mean, I
hate to be hyperbolic, but look at this, Look at
what these people's.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Let's face facts. I want my tax money to go
to this kind of relief to help my fellow Americans.
I don't need to go in to Ukraine. They got
their own issues billion week.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
And they've already got hundreds of billions more.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Just FEMA also is supporting and backing up illegal immigrants.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah. Well they're trying to say that that's a conspiracy
theory while simultaneously saying that they're out of money.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, our government is never out of money. Okay, it's
it's being it's prioritizing and allocating the proper resources. It's stupid.
I don't buy it. Nobody, nobody with a brain in
their head buys that this.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Is what I'm saying, defy the orders. Land the helicopter,
get arrested, befront page news, go to court, or we
feel to get aid to suffering people. Overcome these people.
This is ridiculous. The government is supposed to support us.
The government is saying we the people have had enough.
The government, like I said, they should be not not

(09:45):
only encouraging it, but facilitating it. These guys are going
to clean up and we need to we need to.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Okay, all right, Well this is excellent stuff. And I
don't know why more homes in this country are especially
in areas that are prone to this kind of weather.
That why more of them are built this way?

Speaker 1 (10:19):
And then we want to talk about, you know, what's
actually going good? So that's yeah, before we segue, and
you wonder what are they talking about? What we wanted
to talk about? You know, what's actually going right? Yeah,
there are some things that are going right. Yeah, right
into That was a terrible segue, Jen, do better.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Jen, I'll get a better SEGUEX one with the motor
next time.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Did you know that the guy who invented those died
when he drove one off a cliff? No you didn't
know that? No, Yeah, dude, that invented the segue. This
is for reals. I'm not even making this up. Drove
one off a cliff by accident.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
This is and this is not set up for a joke.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
This actually happened. I'll look that up while you read
this article. Oh God, actual actual thing.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
So this hurricane proved Florida development easily enjoyed, heleen Ian
and Nadalia, proving climate designs work. I don't understand why
they haven't been doing this for years. First, the end
of Nadalia now Helene, a special housing development in Floridas withstood.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
They're cute too.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, they're cute and they look very nice, nicely livable
without any doubt. The neighborhood at Hunter Point and Cortez.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh my bad. It was the owner of the company,
not the inventor.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Still he should have known better too.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
But yeah, this is actually uh not not to interrupt,
but yeah, here it is. Here's the receipts. Segwe boss
Jimmy Husselton dies in scooter cliff fall. The owner of
the Segway company died after falling from a cliff wall
whiding one of his firm's motorized scooters.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Oh that's horrible.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Isn't that awful? Yeah, and sadly we won't be sadly
of it. But apparently he was a really super nice guy.
But yeah, when happened, now, unlike rain on your wedding day,
this actually was ironic, just just so we know. Okay,

(12:19):
oh yeah, sorry, sorry for the interruption. Off you go, Jim, Off, Jim.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Okay, it's lived up to its building a hurricane proof
as the storm that has ravaged the southeastern United States
with a door that issue. Now, Melanie brought up something
interesting during our last interlude that proof is a horrible
word to use. Hurricane proof. Nothing's hurricane proof. I mean
I think of the term idiot proof, and there are idiots.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
Never underestimate the power power idiot, and they will prove
you that the proof is not proof.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
The Titanic was proof, it was unseekable.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Never, never, never underestimate the power of an idiot. I mean,
just look at the current administration.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
I'm kind of tired of talking about those numbers.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well, we kind of have to, though I don't.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
We have to. It's it's tied in with everything.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Now.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Helen made landfall last Thursday, and Cortez was battered to
waste deep storm surges that turned the roads to rivers,
rivers and roads. Not only did Hunter Points stay dry,
but kept the lights on as well, thanks to a
bevy of virtual bevy. I might add, of storm resistant
architectural and landscape designs, hurricanes were a number one priority. Marshall,

(13:32):
go booty, Go booty, Go booty.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
The ancient brackets.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
I don't know, maybe the guy's British.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
One. Well, the name like.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
The developer. The built community told Fast Company in the
wake of the storm, that's a great business magazine. By
the way, Fast Company, how could we build to survive
a Cat five hurricane? Helen did not make the five grade,
although we thought it had, but based on how easily
one hundred points survived it, you'd to magine it could
handle the worst if it came.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, and apparently there's another one on the way, so yeah,
maybe another test.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
The ground floor garages solid concrete on the first floor.
Two by six timber boards are used for the frames
rather than two by fours, and the walls are filled
with hard insulation rather than foam, making it sturdier and
more energy efficient.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Hard insulation is don't know, you hat that pink fluffy stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Man, that stuff up.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I hate that stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
The only thing I like about it is that they
use the pink panther for their advertising. That's all I
like about it.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well, that particular brand. Yeah yeah, white pink.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Roof was made of steel. I don't know. The three
floors are interconnected with steel seams. Solar panels are installed
on roof, and the designers tested in an enclosed environment
to be unmovable.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
But don't worry, they would melt instantly if they got
smacked into by an airplane. Oh wait, that's a different
building that was built.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
To sustain Oh that we're doing not awful.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Sorry, If we're doing conspiracy tinfoilt wearing, you know, might
as well go the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
But yeah, okay, the building should we built? The building
should collapsed. It was not, I mean just a plane
crashing into it would not. Should not have been enough
heat to melt the building and make a collapse like that.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Okay, both of them, both of them and the one
that wasn't even right right?

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, I know, I know, you know, I'm reluctant to
talk about that kind of stuffy. They're turning the frogs, gay,
turn the frogs gay anyway, But we digress much digression.
We've been digressing this this this should have renamed the

(15:54):
culture Digression.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, next week, because we haven't done any of the
show this week.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
The solar panels charge a battery system to can power
the home for several days of the grid goes down,
which happened in Cortest after hurricane hit. Next morning, when
the sun came out, the solar panels went back to
charging the battery, which is still running and it has
been proven in tests to be capable of running in
a limited mode for another nine if needs be. Swales
built into the Microsoft blah blah sweals building bla blash swale.

(16:24):
I thought swales was a person. Swales built into the
landscape of the Hunter Point development channeled stormwater away. Oh
that's what a swale is. Okay, streets until you didn't.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Know what a swale was. No whale. I'm surprised you
didn't know what a swale was.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Hardy damn har The garage is stayed drive. It was
a rain that had been much greater or longer. Sixteen
feet of concrete separate the train for the.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Swales to prevent.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Swales hardyhard dot com. Okay, oh, okay, for sure. None
of this is cheap houses start.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
That was my next question.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
One point five mil. But apartments with similar building standards
are available for one thousand, seven hundred and two thousand
dollars in nearby Brandenton, Florida.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
That sounds really expensive to make.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Sounds expensive, but having that feeling that you're going to
stand while your cheap old neighbors are gonna not. I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
I think it does not break.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
For safe for safety purposes, I would it be worth it?

Speaker 1 (17:29):
How did the windows not break?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
I don't know, baby, I don't work there. Set within
walking distance.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
It sounds to be like Trump needs to give his
next speech in one of those apartments.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
No kidding, as I was saying, bos are really interrupted. Okay,
set with the walking, entertainment, restaurants, shopping giving better.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
You're getting there.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'm not even trying anymore. The price isn't all bad.
The insurance costs are much less. We could well imagine
their insurance is left and companies.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
It is seven.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Stormproof features, which is different from Pearl Harbor's stormproof features.
I was on the phone with the insurance company this
morning and let them know I'm sending pictures. Everything's great,
Go booty, go boot sold fast company.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Why would you call the insurance company to say all's
good in the Western.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
No, because because of a storm, the insurance company is
gonna be bombarded with phone calls, and you want to.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Be right, so you're adding an extra phone called bombard
them with to say I'm good, I'm all right, I'm
all right, she.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Said, find some good news. Insurance is a big, big
component in the future because climate change is here and
we have to adapt.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
We just love to be the person on the other
other end of the phone line and they're like, oh god,
a report, Okay, we'll get to start up blah blah blah,
and transfers in the next call. I'm good. Thanks.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
That's like a blue song going. I woke up this morning.
Was great.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
That's mad in the morning.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I welcome this morning. Everything was great.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I got penem gn felt great, I've got the fire
white littleses he does wow, wow, Okay, Well, we wanted
to share at least some good things that were coming
out of us, and this guy now.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Represents everything that's great about this country.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I believe this is what America is about. So I
want to play this video. Don't go down the rabbit
hole of them, say to some kind of cult leader
or whatever. They found a picture of a guy with
a sort of similar beard from a completely different state,
not the same guy. Don't follow the nonsense, but do.
It's just he's not the only one. There's so many

(19:51):
people out there beings is American, so many people out
there being good and kind and wonderful. So here's an
example of everything America is. Hey, guys, I'm gonna cry again.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
This is the invitation to all the people displaced. I
don't have much, but I have eighty four akers in
eastern Kentucky. I got a place for you to come to,
get your barons, to get ready. If you need to
be here permanently, temporarily, it doesn't matter to me. I
hope this video gets out. I just had my account banned.
I had one hundred and five thousand, all some followers,
all some network of people that I lost just like that.

(20:27):
And that could happen to every one of us, and
it will eventually. I said, never, guys, So why we can?
We need to use this app? And right now I
need your help because.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I don't have them.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
I don't have that. I'm relying on you to like this,
share this, repost this, get this out to the people
in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Tennessee. We're
here for you, now, Gary, Why is this hit you
so hard? But it's not just hit me so hard
because I'm watching people suffer. I'm in eastern Kentucky, but
I was born and raised in rother Ford, North Carolina,

(20:58):
Chimney Rock Lake Lord. That's where I used to be
in my childhood at the lake, and all my families there,
my aunt's, my uncle's, my sisters, my every bit of
my immediate family live in that Rutherford County. And I
don't have much. I don't have resources to go down
there and take you all a bunch of resources. I
don't have that financially. But what I do have is
this mountain. And I invite anyone that needs a place

(21:20):
to come. Like I said, temporarily, permanently, it doesn't matter.
But my land is your land where Americans, and the
darkness is all around us, guys, But I'll tell you what.
It's time for the light to shine.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
You're the light. We're of the light man.

favorite guys like this, share this, repost this. You don't
have to follow me. I'm not in this for followers,

a few people. I don't care if it's five ten,
fifteen to one thousand, five hundred, it doesn't matter. If
you need a place, DM me. If you know someone
that needs a place, DM me. Let's get this video

I hope this video gets around because we need each other, guys,
more than ever. We need each other right now. And
I'm not gonna go round on about about certain things
and the truth and the things that I could say,

you're someone that need a place to come, that needs
a safe place, a place of refuge, give me a

(22:49):
give me a d guys, send this video, Send this video.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
That is a good use of TikTok, if ever there
was one, And that guy is a hero to me.
That's what you do in situations.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
By the way, on his TikTok accounts, he has supposed
to said I've done the googling for you and has
all of the articles about that blaken ship dude. And
I still can't really tell because it's saying it's a
Manson like Colton, Maine. Obviously he's not in Maine. I'm

(23:33):
not going to go too far down the rabbit hole.
All I'm saying is this guy is offering his home,
his land, and some of the folks the the comments
on this particular TikTok, I like the first one, and
let's see if I can bring it up here. My

(23:55):
land is your land just sparked my memory of that
song This land is your land. This land is my
land from California. Yeah, so sweet. The thing that makes
it just so much better is that there are so
many more people that are stepping up. There are so

(24:18):
many more people that are saying, hey, we've got land too,
And it just went on and.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
On and on.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's just such a beautiful, beautiful thing. I'm trying to
bring this back up again because like a dumb dumb
I closed it. Don't do that, I know, I know,
So check this out. I mean, yeah, just this this guy,
after post after post, I'd like to do the same.

(24:47):
I'm in southeastern Kentucky, retired military. I have one hundred myself.
I have fifty acres available to anyone in need, sixty
acres of small building we can make into a tiny home.
Now people are starting to ask things like, well, how
you know, how are we going to provide toilet tries
and food and this and that and other people are

(25:07):
stepping up. People are donating. There are v's, people are
donating tents, people are donating food, people are donating you know,
solar systems, wells. I have only three acres and a
few families that don't have much, but I.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Have dirt you know, if you have a place to
if you have a tent to pitch or an rv
DE park, you know, hang out, come along.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, forty acres completely off grid, will do the same
if needed. God bless you all. And it just goes
on and on and on and on. This is America,
This is who we are. This is again Jake can't
read this without thinking. And you know, then, of course
there's always the the you know, and that's fine. I'd

(25:51):
rather you vet and you know, do pay attention. You
don't just go crazy out there by yourself and some
crazy guys land in the middle of no day where
you know, not protecting yourself. Blah blah blah. But at
the same time, we don't all always have to be skeptical.
Oh wow, they've even got a scandy do iggy so

(26:13):
you can go straight. They're cool and just this is
who we are. This is who we are. Not fake
Kamala with her earphones that aren't plugged in, in her
blank pieces of paper that she's pretending to write notes
on while she you know, does a photo op from

(26:34):
Air Force too, from her rally in Las Vegas. While
people are dying, people are starving, people are underwater. Literally,
people are losing everything, and she's fundraising in Vegas. She's
supposed to be the president, she wants to be the president,

(26:57):
and she couldn't be bothered to leave her cushy life
Las Vegas a gig. Remember, she couldn't even plug in
her headphones for God's sake.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
No.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
I remember when Trump was handing out water and food
to people.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
And they bitched about pardon my friend, they complained about that.
Oh he threw paper, tells. Yeah, you know what you
do is you raise people's spirits. Those people, by the way,
I believe that was Haiti. If I recall the place that, uh,
the Clinton's decimated, right, and now we're shipping in the

(27:30):
crazies from the deepest, the place.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
That are our federal government's warning is never to go
to because yeah, you'll get killed.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, literally, there are trouble warning against don't go there.
But hey, let's just import as many of them as
we can and stick them in small Midwestern towns that
oh god, did they you vote for Trump? Here? Never
made that connection.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Believe that Chuck may have something to say about that.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
You know, I think you're right. I think you just
may be right. Let's see what Chuck has to say.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Now that's a segue, and now CCW News presents, Holy crap,
this is actually happening. Wake me up when September ends,
Edition twenty twenty four. I'm Chuck, you Farley. The big
news this week is the high embarrassed regime solution to

(28:29):
our now wide open borders has tens of thousands of
certified criminals are doing the Texas two step through both
the Mexican and Canadian borders. Resident Biden, yes he's still alive,
I think, has elected to send more troops to Israel. No,
I am not making this up, despite the Israeli defense

(28:49):
force and massade showing far more ingenuity than the USA.
I mean, come on, exploding pagers, who would have fund
We are once again paying to police the world while
defunding our own country. The Department of Homeland Security informed
Florida Representative Matt Gates about five known assassination teams currently
located in the United States, three of which have orders

(29:10):
to eliminate Donald Trump. Meanwhile, the Department of Injustice released
a letter from the most recent failed Trump assassin, aging
hippie communist Ryan Ruth, while the same DOJ won't release
the manifestos of the last two mass shooters for some reason,
they couldn't wait. The publicized roots letter offering a one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars bounty to someone else who
could actually finish the job. Unsurprisingly, he called out to

(29:33):
Iran specifically, frankly, he could have just asked the Secret
Service directly. They've been doing a bang up job. I Ran,
of course, is way ahead of him, allegedly backing one
of the aforementioned assassination teams when they're not too busy
bombing the daylights out of Israel. Speaking of wrinkled assassins,
the sourced loser, Hillary Clinton once again took to the

(29:54):
airwaves to fan the fire, continuing to call Trump a
threat to the country and to the world. Maybe she
should stop being so lazy and try it herself for once,
after all, it's been a few years since she's added
to her kill count. In the wake of Sean Diggler
Comb's arrest on sex trafficking charges, on old tweet from
Kamala Harris's first failed presidential campaign surfaced, thanking the rapper

(30:17):
for his appearance in a town hall fundraiser popularizing the
myth that the Ooga Booga bug was somehow racist and
was quote perpetuating racial inequality and health disparities end quote.
Given that and her participation in defund the police and
down with Depotation rallies with race baiting faker Jessee Smollette
and her nanny knocking husband who was about to be
brought up on domestic abuse charges, and explains why she's

(30:39):
been hammering what can be on, burnon by what has
been Meanwhile, Kamala Harris graced the Oprah Winfrey Show with
her usual flare, answering the softball questions by tossing a
dormet word salad so nonsensical that the big o' herself
had to look away to keep from losing it. Among
the vice residents, Bond mosed, let's come together with the

(31:00):
character that we are so proud of about who we are. Sadly,
leaked photos of the studio showed that she was actually
reading from a teleprompter. I swear I am not making
this up. Prov dea fect checkers were quick to announce
that the prompter was for Winfrey and totally not for Harris.
Honest engine or African or whatever she was in that

(31:21):
passage of time. Later in the week, we got to
taste them. How much worse it gets when she does
have to add lib because her auto Q fritzed out
during her flint rally. Quote remember his number thirty two Today,
we got thirty two days until the election. So thirty
two days, thirty two days, Okay, we got some business

(31:41):
to do. We've got some business to do, all right,
thirty two days, and we know we will do it.
And this is going to be a very tight race
until the very end. Tossed in some Vinegret and Kamala
Kuton's because it did not get better from there. While
former President Trump is working on ending wars on multiple fronts,
the previous front runner for Harris's VP, Josh Shapiro, was

(32:04):
literally signing bombs meant for Ukraine's President Zelenski. Meanwhile, non
bomb signing Trump was caught grocery shopping for media Americans,
as every evil dictator who is a direct threat to
democracy is wont to do. Speaking of New Yorkers trying
to write the ship, exactly one year ago, Mayor Eric
Adams admitted off scrip that the massive influx of illegal

(32:26):
migrants are destroying New York City. Whoops, he set foot
off the plantation. That is a big DNC. No.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
No.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
This week, he was indicted by the Harris Biden DOJ
for saying the quiet part out loud or I mean
campaign finance something turkish. Oh, I don't know. Whatever it
takes to shut him up speaking of migrants destroying communities.
Illegal aliens who are illegally forced into small communities in
Ohio and are doing illegal things are now taking legal

(32:57):
action against President Trump and Jade Vance be smirching the
fine name of the illegal aliens who are illegally forced
in the small communities in Ohio to do illegal things
force CCW news. This has been a holy crap, this
is actually happening. I'm Chuck you Farley, good night, and
may God help us. I don't asked how Chuck was

(33:28):
doing as he was walking by. He just held up
his handclip walking. You can't take this anymore.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
He's like, well, thank god we have counterculture wise brand vodka.
He goes through a bottle of day I swear.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
He's picked up his nicotine habit again. No, he's he
loves reporting news, but what's going on these days is
just so insane ane of these.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Things just right themselves too.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
He doesn't even have to know like this story.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Well, now I have to catch up. Okay, we're we're
news weird and wonderful, weird and wonderful. Let's did we
I don't think we did? Did we?

Speaker 3 (34:11):
We didn't a shot?

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Counterculture Wise is proud to present news of the weird
and wonderful. Here are your hosts, Melanie Hope and Jim Monis.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
This is a little weird in it?

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Yeah, you do such an amazing job of these animations.
I love the bouncing Max head. Yeah, he just he's
such He's such a great cat. Anyway, so while they're
spending a lot, you know, we're not the only country,
I'm happy to say that has its priorities all jacked up.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I don't know, I think this is rather innovative.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Well. Russian companies have established a barter trade system with
Pakistan to facilitate facilitate Pakistan economic exchanges without the need
for monetary transactions as they seek to overcome challenges with
payments related to Western sanctions on Moscow. The alternative trade
agreement was signed to the first Pakistan Russia Trade and

(35:12):
Investment Form in Moscow or the Pertec Indians. According to
the Russian state media outlet tasks the first Russian company
to use the mechanismally a start up i gro Trading,
which will supply Pakistan with chickpeas and lentils. Pakistan's mESC
and Famt Trading company will reciprocate by providing mandarins and rice.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Who anyway chickpeas and lentils.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Under the terms of the agreement, Russia will export twenty
thousand tons of chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo's. Oh Pakistan,
I'm really surprising that that is a bunch.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Of the Pakistan. Any Middle Eastern country has to import
the mad ingredient of hummus.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
I know, that's a ton of hummus.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
It seems weird they would have to import that.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
That would be like already a thing, while Pakistan will
supply an equivalent amount of rice. Another contract stipulates the
Russia will send fifteen thousand tons of chickpeas and ten
thousand tons of lent easterns and tons of mandarins and
ten thousand tons of potatoes. Of course, because potatoes, because potatoes.

(36:20):
According to Nasir Rahmid, Pakistan's Deputy Commerce Minister. The barcher
system was created due to difficulties with mutual payments. Okay,
any Pakistani dezment Pakistan, I have no idea what they
sound like. While monetary transactions are under increasing scrutiny due
to international sanctions against Russia in retaliation for its invasion

(36:42):
of Ukraine, barter schemes offer companies a way to circumvent
complications by exchanging goods directly rather than involving bank payments.
Such deals help avoid attention from monitoring organizations test when
ensuring compliance with sanctions. So, yeah, they were also this
areicle goes on to state that they've been in the

(37:03):
discussions with China about resuming barter trade as well.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Well, I mean, isn't that how we used to do things?

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah, I mean it's I gotta admit it's a clever
way of circumventing the the world police. You know, I
think that's actually pretty clever. I'm not saying I'm I'm
pro Russia. I'm also not pro Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
I think I can appreciate and resiliency and human condition
and things like that without supporting the government of of
you know whatever.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Anyway, Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
So yeah, I just thought that was different.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
This one is also different. We got lots of different boodles,
and boodles are different.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
I don't even know how to deal with this one.
Hilarious behind, but what a fist, what a fist on
this guy. He's definitely a brid fir so, definitely a
brit There's no escaping.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
No, that is you alas said that guy from Guardians
of the Galaxy.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Anyway, A little bit, yeah, A bit, a bit, oh,
I guess it's mean.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah alone.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
A woman discovered her house had been broken into by
a burglar who hung out her washing, put her shopping
away and cooked a meal on her stove. Damian not
even gonna try. Thirty six was shaled for twenty two
months in Cartoff crown On knock yourself out, kid, And

(38:40):
who's gonna say no, that's not right? Is there anybody
out there who's gonna say that's not right?

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:45):
What do you mean? In Monmouthshire and in July, the
woman said she was left too scared to stay in
her own home after returning from work to find items
had been moved in the garden and her recycling bin
had been empty and disgus says I would be paying
this guy to come every day. The burglar left her

(39:07):
note saying don't worry, be happy, eat up and scratch.
What does that mean why? The court also heard the
burg feeders had been refilled and plant pots had been moved.
This isn't a burglar, this is like hired hell. This
guy's awesome. Could you cut burgl our house? Inside the house,

(39:30):
a pair of shoes had been removed from packaging, which
was placed in the recycle bin. Prosecutor Alice Skike's Sykes
said a meal had been cooked using items for the
woman's cupboard, and she's scared. I'm like this guy's like
Santa Claus. Shopping had been taken from a bag and
placed in the fridge, which had been rearranged. Kids and
utensils has been placed in the bin, and new ones

(39:51):
from the shopping bag had been laid out, and toothbrush
heads had been replaced on toothbrushes. An empty bottle of
wine had been placed in the rack, having been drunk. Okay,
you drank my wine. That's it. It's over. It's over,
and the floor had been cleaned with a mop and
bucket left out. The victim also saw a bottle of
red wine had been left out next to a glass
and a bottle opener, and there was a bowl of

(40:12):
sweets on the living room table. She spoke to her neighbor,
who described seeing someone hanging out washing. In a victim
personal statement, the female victim said, two weeks after the crime,
until he was caught, I was living in a state
of height and anxiety I'd never experienced before. Yeah, I'd
be really anxious that he might come in. I don't know, vacuum,
maybe windows, make me breakfast, give me a foot massage. Yeah,

(40:37):
I'd be terrified. I'd be waking up in a cold sweat.
I wondered if it was somebody who knew me, if
it was going to turn into a stocking incident, if
he knew how I lived alone, and if I had
been targeted. I was too scared to stay in my
own home and stayed with a friend. So she came
back and the house had been repainted and insulation put
in the windows, and her dog had been fed. And

(41:01):
second burgolary took place at another home in July, when
the mail homeowner received a CCTV alert on his phone
which showed what was to hurt him. Me walking on
his driveway. The defendant went on to use the shower
in a summerhouse to wash and clean his clothes. Food
and drink had also been consumed, and the hot tub

(41:21):
had also been left dirty. The hot tub had been
left dirty?

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Yeah, what does that meanthrom the hob.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
The victim asked his son in law to attend the
property and the defendant appeared to be drunk and was
holding the class. Well, that is how you would drink. Yes.
He was asked to leave and did so, but the
burglar was later arrested. His DNA was found on fingerprints
from the first property he burgled. The homeowner. Now I
want a burger. The homeowner said he felt sick, horrified

(41:50):
and I know constant state of burger desire. Uh felt sick,
horrified and useless when he became aware of the gurgle
girl burgler, I was hoping to avoid that word. Tabitha Walker,
defending he said her client was homeless at the time

(42:12):
of the offenses and was undergoing a number of difficulties.
She said he was apologetic to the victims and for
the harm he had caused to them. Sentencing blah blah,
this is a significant intrusion on their homes. Would you
heard thee of no fixed abode? Pleaded guilty to two
council that word burg glory, burglory. The court heard. He

(42:38):
has four previous convictions for offenses including common assault, public
order offenses and failing to surrender, surrender to surrender. Well
he has a.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
Home now he does.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Give him that?

Speaker 3 (42:59):
All right?

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Okay, more wonderful than weird.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Once a year, Ursula Banister climbs to high Rock lookout
of Viewpoint near Ashford, Washington, close to Melanie's old stomping
grounds where she scattered her mother's ashes twenty three years ago.
She brings flowers for her annual visit. Banister seventy nine,
way too old to be hiking, usually hikes. Yeah, Banister

(43:28):
seventy nine usually hikes with a family member or friend
along the three point two mile trail, which is a
relatively difficult trek. Why we were this yeah on August?
I don't know why her name is banister, Ursula Banister?
How much more British can have?

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Barrister Banister? Like the thing you slide down? So what
not the thing you hire to get you off of
your brug gurgle recharges.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
If I sentence you to three point five years and
sticking up the butt prison for.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
And you're gonna laugh.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
But I have actually huck to that trail, I believe it,
and it's full of climate burgoglar.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
Bannis Story usually hikes with a family member of friend
Ale on swe point two mile trail. I gotta tell you,
if you ever go get a chance to go to
Washington State, if you want to go to Seattle, go
to Seattle, whatever, but spend some time on these hiking
trails mountains. They are among the most beautiful scenic in
the whole country. And plus if you can visit Rinier

(44:33):
that Yeah, it's much more rewarding than you know, wink whatever. Anyway,
this year, on August twenty eighth, Banister, I'm sorry Banister
went on her own figuring she'd be fine because she's
an experienced hiker, foreshadowing.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
You don't go on your own way. It's steep zone
is considered a whole British chip and there is no
went on the telly.

Speaker 5 (45:04):
Noise.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
It's considered a hard hike and now the upper class
Twitter of the year, so it's considered a hard hike.
But because I've done it so many times. I wasn't
nervous about it, said Banister, who lives in Tacoma, Washington.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Been there, done that.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Banister arrived at the trailer at eleven am and made
her way to look out. As she headed back down,
she made a misstep whoopsie, and her foot got caught
in a hole in the ground. Fell forward. By the
time I sat up, my foot was pointing the wrong way.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
I know.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Right away I broken my legs, she said, along with
a screaming. JUST sprained something trying to get up with
my hiking pole and it collapsed on me. Banister cried
out for help, help, help, help, get up him underdog,
and before long a stranger approached and called nine one one.
They were told to search. A rescue team would arrive

(45:58):
in five hours.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Five hours.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
This is Washington State. There's bureaucracy, liberals. It wasn't very encouraging,
Banister said. I asked this man to please ask anybody
if they had any pain killers, because at that point
the pain was pretty substantial.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Fractioned my leg in forty seven places? Could I have
an aspirin? Does that bark have any numbing quality?

Speaker 4 (46:19):
No?

Speaker 3 (46:19):
One saying he did. But two young men at the
lookout came over to see what was going on. When
they saw banister on the ground in Agony, which is,
you know, just south of Tacoma.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Hold on this poor woman with her foot point the
wrong way, saying pardon me, would you happen to have
an ASP And people like no and kept on walking
and just left her there. Suicide. Okay, First of all,
I never go hiking without a first aid kit which

(46:50):
does include pain relievers. And second of all, yet, don't
leave the broad sitting, and don't ever the wrong.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Way unless it's like a level road that goes for
five miles in a circle.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Even then you don't go don't go alone, don't go alone.
Just don't go along dog, so they can go.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
When they saw a banister on the ground in Agony,
which is just south of Tacoma, as the joke went before,
they immediately made an offer they could carry a banister
to the bottom of the trade.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
You don't just leave her there.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Troy May a US Air Force Airmen station to joint
based pictures.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
I want to know who took the pictures. Cool, there's
just some person in the background, like hey, click click click.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Click, courtesy of Ursula Banister. Well, it just says she
provided the photo herself. Troy May or maybe not. I
don't know. Troy May a US Air Force Airmen station
to Joint Base Lewis McCord was on the lookout. Was
that lookout that day with his Fielsa and a friend
who was visiting from New Mexico. I knew I was
capable of carrying her down, said May twenty. I really

(47:49):
didn't make much of a decision. I just knew I
needed to carry her down if I could. May east
Banister onto his back and started hiking downward. He carried
her for most of the nearly three hour journey, and
his friend Lateon Allen carried her for the rest of
his pitched in as well. Shortly into the hike, Maize
boots were giving him blisters. An excuse me, why do

(48:09):
I do that? Amen? Amen? He didn't know on the trail,
saw the situation and game gave May his shoes. That
was just one kindness that banister. A physical therapist bandaged
the banister, bandaged the Banister boy. That's the name of
my new band, bandaged Banister before they headed down the
trail and built a makeshift.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
I've already designed your album cover in my head out of.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Wooden scraps, and occasional therapist did breathing exercises whether to
help calm her. The bead bit changes everything and crash bango.
I was just overwhelmed with gratitude that these people literally
came out of the woods to help me, and they
were totally unselfish and kind.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
She said, Well, except for all those people that just
left her there to die, I ain't.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
Say anybody just left her there to die.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
He asked them for asking like sorrial jump by of
sor horse.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Oh my during the long hiked down or rescues rescuers,
I think I hadn't read English before, shared stories and
asked Banister questions about her own life to distract her
from the mounting pain. Ye, well, okay, I over the
mounting pain.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I can see why you're upset. We literally had to
pause our show because we had nine to one. One
guy just barge into our house seriously, so we we
had to pause the show, which is why it's a
two parter. Because we just got a knock on the
door and got ambulance. Things said, yeah, we gotta don't

(49:40):
do that and you'll set the dog off. And we
got a nine one one call to this address saying
that somebody fell, and we're both like, no, I didn't fall.
Did you fall? I didn't fall. No, you're fine. But
what was weird about this is that we heard the knock.
Of course the dog went off, and before Jim could
even get to the door, dude just like walked in
like he owned the joint.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
That Well, a nine to one one guy may need
to do that if.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
It's give us a chance to get to the door. Well,
I guess it was a fall, and I was all
by myself, but I'd be like, hey, ie, So my
concern was with the neighbor. I'm like, please, please please
check on the neighbor because I know she lives alone,
and so hopefully they just got their wires crossed.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
But got the old drunkard.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Take the pathetic thing about it, you heard the first
part of our our our you if you heard her opening.
The pathetic part about it is both Jim and I
later admitted that we.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
Fight somebody sent by the main because he had a
tool box and what looked.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Like okay, and I was all excited, like, yeah, we're
gonna have her. No, no, no, it's just somebody called,
and it's it's not like you can prank that. It's
not like you're delivering me to someone, you know. So
I really hope that they just got their wires crossed
and and that if you know, something did happen to
our neighbor, that they got to the right place. So
he's he was going to check it out because I said, yeah,

(51:01):
she does have issues. We'll just leave it that way
and hopefully everything's okay. So say a little prayer for
a neighbor. I won't mention her name or anything, but

let's just head straight on, straight on for you and
I'm strong now come straight on and d m c

(53:37):
a here on. Counterculture wise, we may rant, we may rave,
but most of all, we go against the current culture
because we believe to the core of our beings that
humans are good and the world is an amazing and

(53:59):
beautiful place. At the beginning of our show, we give
you news of the weird and wonderful, but that is
just the tip of the magnificent iceberg that is our world.
We now present news of the wonderfuller.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
I just love fantastic job on that guitar for that music.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
I've been practicing. I don't play guitar game. Come on now,
let's let's let's let's let's not let's not lie to
our audience. I play okay badly, but God blessed Jim.

along what ah, Yeah, it's pretty bad. But yep, that's
my Jimmy. He sang along Star. Okay, let's share this

(55:17):
story because this is a nice, nice one to land on.
This is a really weird podcast day.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
This has been the weirdest broadcast we've done in about
three or four years.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Yeah, I've been having a good time. I know. We
started by complaining and whining and then God is good
and then Hurricane victims and Kamala's evil but God is
still good and yeah, anyway, yeah, Michigan, this is actually
an older story, but it's just too sweet not to share.
A Michigan cop who stopped an elderly man for speeding
ended up helping him set up a flat screen TV

(55:52):
after the driver told him he was going through a
hard time. September thirtieth, Sterling Heights officer Kevin Coates pulled
over seventy nine year old man named by officials only
as David. Dashcam footage captured the emotional exchange where David
told officer Coats his wife was sick and their son
is suffering from mental illness. He tells, I think this

(56:14):
guy was just at his wits end and just didn't
know what to do with himself. He tells Officer Coats
he was speaking because he was driving around trying to
find someone who could help him hook up his newly
purchased fifty inch at screen TV, which he bought to
cheer his family. Cheer up his family. So and here
he is there. He's emotional. Obviously, he wasn't intoxicate or anything.

(56:39):
I really try to drive right, he says. I bought
a television today because I wanted to make my wife happy,
and I can't get it hooked up. He can be
heard saying to the officer after explaining his tough day,
I feel for this guy. This is where I was
yesterday with all the things. Officer Coats extended his sympathy
and instead of giving David a ticket, he let him

(56:59):
off with a warning and also offered a helping hand.
Officer Oates promised to stop by Coats earlier. Has he
been Oats all along? Yeah? He was Coats earlier and
now he's Oats. Well, he lost his se Okay, now
he's Coats again. Here we go, Officer seriously, his Officer Oates,

(57:20):
But he's been Coats this whole time. Okay, Officer Coats
promised to stop by David Sterling's Height home after his
shift to help. Well, I'm getting another police run right now,
so I can't come by now, but if I have
time tonight, maybe I'll stop by and take a look
at it and coats Toad David. The Sterling Heights Police
Department said that within an hour of the traffic stop,

(57:42):
Officer Coats accompanied by Officer Remy I'm not gonna try
with his new recruit Officer Jeremy G. Jim did your
dad write this? What are jacobs? Jacobs? You gotta read
these names for me.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
Hold on, I don't have that.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Get just and Jigob. Okay, so we got thanks thanks Jim.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Ver vergs trade in this one.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
That looks like your dad's name.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
It's very close. Jakkuhovich.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
We got officer v an officer j We got an
officer and coats. Yes, I got the coats. Thank you.
Assisted with installing his television as well as hooking up
the cable. Police said that once everything was set up,
David was very thankful for the help. He looks like
a squeetle jobby guy. Why are you a cop of
your that chubby? Okay? Officer Coats pictured thanks some random

(58:55):
dude pictured would you okay? I guess they do that though,
and helped out an elderly man named David last week
after you told okay, they took a picture of the TV.
That was nice of them, and eventually went to the
Seminennial Men's home to other officers to help set it up.
There they are setting it up, and audio of the
officers at David's home captured the officers explaining how the

(59:16):
remote works, and David telling the officers I appreciate you.
That's not an officer's job going in and hooking up
a TV. Right. We didn't till the fox to Detroit,
but he took it upon himself an act of kind
of saying, look, there were people. We're people too, and
we're trying for some reason. There's no apostrophes. I think

(59:37):
they mean we're people too, and we're trying to help
our citizens. That's what cops are supposed to do. That's
literally your job. Somebody's got to step up, and we're
glad to do it. He added. Department Chief Dale good Lord,
for what country are these people in? I got nothing?

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Sorry, even I got nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Sure, also complimented the three officers kind. I'm very proud
of officer coats, officer and recruit officers.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Going to Police commission.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Will go it. The Q was silent. It's just another
example of the amazing service of the Sterling Heights Police
Department that provides our community.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
So that is a very very It's a great story
with a bunch of furners randon in BC and what.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Planet these people were from? The folks, I hope you
had as much fun as we did.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
This was a different vibe, is definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
A different vibe than normal. And and no it was
not because we were drinking. No, no, just yeah, there's
a lot of things in our heart today and we
decided to just be open and honest and vulnerable. So
I wish this for you as well. May you go
forth and be open and honest and vulnerable, and may

(01:01:09):
you find the love and the concern and the American
way that we have found. God bless every single person
who's going through what they're going through right now, through
the hurricane, and brace yourself for what's coming. God Bless
every single person who's trying to help them, and God

(01:01:31):
