Speaker 9 (06:31):
Is this what it's. It's it's.

Speaker 14 (07:30):
Well, good morning, and this is not your imagination. I
promise there actually is a Monday edition of the Daily Notes.
I know it's been a while, but I want to
have it through mister Rick Robinson. He's She's the other
half missed Stacey Lennox. Sorry, I do so many shows
that they almost started calling you lady. Anyway. In my defense,
I've had something and came to the flu all weekend again,
but I'm still here. I swear it's like a recurring theme.

(07:53):
I'm like fine for the week, and then the weekend
finally gets here. At all I do is like curlip
in a ball somewhere asleep for like forty eight hours
and finally to feel better again. Sort of. I still
feel like I'm trying to kick a fever because every
time around I'm sweating.

Speaker 15 (08:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (08:06):
Fun times anyway, So how are you?

Speaker 16 (08:10):
I can't move, so I put in that.

Speaker 17 (08:16):
I don't know whether to call it a Victory garden
or an anti Biden garden, Like I'm not sure what
it is, but we put in three raised beds to bean.

Speaker 16 (08:27):
Towers and all of the all of the plants. This weekend,
I did the the.

Speaker 18 (08:34):
Hanging bags all this stuff. So there was a lot
of lifting and shoveling and.

Speaker 16 (08:38):
Raking, and I like, I bill like an eighty year
old woman, like going up and down the stairs as
a challenge. So I guess we're both broken.

Speaker 19 (08:47):
Broken, so broken.

Speaker 14 (08:49):
Yeah, I was bad, dude, Like I've I didn't feel
good Friday evening and I almost canceled the Friday evening
shows and that I didn't and then for some reason
I couldn't sleep Friday night. And then I spent most
of the to the weekend sleeping off and onto my chair.
I think I was up a combined maybe four hours
for the entire.

Speaker 16 (09:06):
Wor I wish I wish I had a chair I
could sleep in. Like, as we're redoing the whole house,
we're getting my parents recliner sofa, and I'm like dying
to see if I can sleep in that, because I'm thinking,
when my back is sore, like laying flat or laying

(09:27):
on my side just what like not a good thing.
So I'm thinking if I could sleep in the chair,
that might like be better for my back until it
feels better. But I don't know, I don't know, I
don't know. Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking, I'm thinking it

(09:49):
might be time for the stimulator, but I don't even
know if that's a possibility anymore. It's a little thing.
They implanted that with zapsh you to keep you out
of pain, but I'm not sure if I can be zapped.
If like I keep having weird beats with my heart,

(10:10):
I'm not sure how all that works. I know I
can't take the medicine I used to take to feel
better anymore. So that's that's that's not fun. But you
know everything, I think it's probably the medicine I used
to take to feel better that gave me the stomach
problem in the first place. So yeah, probably note to

(10:34):
everyone in case you're ever given this medication, like, if
you're ever given to it all, don't take it for
more than five days. I took it for thirty and
my doctor flipped out, you're only supposed to take that
for five days? Really, then, why did somebody give me
a thirty day prescription? It made me feel great best
the anti inflammatory ever took. Mm hmm, so apparently parent Yeah,

(11:01):
if I had to guess that, probably that probably screwed
up my stomach, but probably well, now I can't take ibuprofen.
I can't. I can't take like any of the in sets.
I can't even get that medication as an injection because
it's systemic. So the only one I can take is
an approxy and maybe if I really really need it,

(11:23):
But an approxysm interferes with the hart medicine I take.
So yeah, I got nothing. I got nothing. I just
get sit here and go, oh, oh awesome, it's really awesome.
I can't wait to go to my pain management doctor
and yell at him, Oh got you hurt? Do something?

(11:50):
Damn it. He's also my favorite doctor. So it's all okay, Yeah,
it's all okay. So like last week and might get
very strange, Rick, there's a hot war in Europe and

(12:11):
the Biden administration spent all last week trying to trans
the kids. What's that about?

Speaker 14 (12:16):
Well?

Speaker 4 (12:17):
You know.

Speaker 16 (12:19):
What's that about?

Speaker 15 (12:20):
Though?

Speaker 16 (12:21):
Like I just like that's speech, We see you, you
know what, Like most of the gay people in the LBGTQ,
people I've known for my entire life, don't want to
be seen. They just want to live their lives like
everyone else. They don't want to be called out. They
don't want to be treated special. They just want to
be left alone and be able to do what other

(12:44):
people do. So yeah, and there's a whole lot of
trans adults out there who are saying, yeah, competing in
sports if you're a dude, like biologically that's not okay. Like,
it's not even people who identify as this for the
most part or have traditionally that are asking for any

(13:08):
of this. It's people like the Human Rights Campaign, which
is just an NGO that got what it wanted after
Obergafell and needed to raise money to do something different
because now you've got this entire staff that's dependent on you.
That's why situations can never be solved because we have
all these activist organizations that employ people. So as soon

(13:31):
as they solve an issue or we make some progress,
they have to find a new issue and we just
get dragged down this freaking rabbit hole because they can't
just say, oh, we got what we wanted and go
find something else to do.

Speaker 14 (13:56):
Pretty scary.

Speaker 16 (13:58):
Well, it's like I think one of my favorite tweets,
David boy calls at the NGO archipelago, It's like there's
just this landscape of these organizations that employ the friend
the ruling class friends, kids who get some stupid degree
and some obscure thing from an elite college. It's like

(14:19):
the whole system is set up to perpetuate this class
of people that think they know everything but don't like
The perfect clip came out last week Klaus Schwab the German.
I don't know why we're listening to a bald German

(14:40):
who looks like he needs a white cat, but apparently
he's going to rule the world, and there's a clip
of him going, well with what we're doing. It's at
the World Government Forum. But y'all are a conspiracy theorist
if you think they're after a new world order? Conspiracy theorist.
Where's your tenfoil A.

Speaker 14 (15:00):
Played that clip last week.

Speaker 16 (15:02):
Yeah, I know, but he's sitting there and he's like, wha,
we're gonna screw with the food supply and that transportation
and the supply chain and the money supplying. We don't
know exactly how that's gonna work out, but it doesn't
really matter. It doesn't really matter to you, guys, because
nothing about your life is gonna change.

Speaker 14 (15:24):
Yeah, that's basically what he goes on to say. If
I remember he is, it doesn't really matter, because we'll
be fine is basically what he says.

Speaker 16 (15:33):
It is so instructive of how they think of you.
You are but cannon fodder. And I find it so offensive.
And as they like screw with the food supply and
people actually people who are not used to being hungry
get hungry. I think things could go seriously sideways, like seriously,

(16:00):
like you think what was going on in Portland was bad.
Those kids were never hungry. That's all I'm saying, Like
global elites meet hungry people told y'all to read neo feudalism.

(16:32):
It's looking more like comments like that, and you're just going,
Joel Cotkin is like a prophet, a prophet, and it's
gonna go sideways the fastest in the cities they all
want you to live in because they don't want you
driving a car. It's like they're trying to start the

(16:59):
hunt under games.

Speaker 14 (17:03):
And I do not have volunteers to you.

Speaker 16 (17:07):
I'm just saying, like, where do you think it's gonna
go sideways? First, those six community gardens you got in
the Bronx ain't gonna cut it. I mean, like feed

(17:30):
prices have doubled, deesel prices have doubled all this stuff.
The cost of fertilizer trickles down into the entire food supply,
the cost of energy trickles down into the entire food supply.
I like, I'm not even one hundred percent sure, Like

(17:51):
the independent farms are screwed, Like the large family independence,
the small family independence. I don't know how they're gonna survive.
And I'm not even sure with some of this how
the corporate agriculture investments are going to survive on crops,
on meat. I kind of get it, but like, I

(18:12):
just don't understand. I don't know what company can absorb
like a doubling and tripling of its raw material costs.
There's not that much profit in most businesses, and certainly
not in food. Did I make rick silence?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
No?

Speaker 14 (18:40):
Sorry, I got distracted. I started reading an article.

Speaker 16 (18:43):
For Oh I'm sorry.

Speaker 14 (18:46):
No, No, not your fault. He just got distracted by
a stupid headline. I might as well share it now.
David Hogg wants to know why you don't need a
license to kill humans? No, seriously, why don't you need
a license to kill humans? Oh?

Speaker 16 (19:00):
Hello, David Hogg is like he was saying something stupid
the other day, and I can't even remember what it was.

Speaker 14 (19:18):
I think this may be at least was its side
of the same thing, because the question that led to
the article was from April second and ten fifteen. He
put out a tweet. If you need a license to
kill deer, why don't you need one to kill humans?
I don't know. I mean, if you can apply for
a license to kill humans, there's a few I would
like to apply for. Can we make that? I think anyway?

(19:46):
I mean, do we have to name like a specific
human on the license to kill humans? I mean, do
we have to get that? You know? Yeah, I don't
know anyway.

Speaker 16 (19:55):
I'm just saying, well, everything's going really well in the
Middle East. My god. No, it's like it's like they're
our good friend Joseph. We should have Joseph on again,

(20:19):
Yes we should. Biden rebuffed as USDA relations with Saudi
Arabia and UAE hit new love. As Joe Biden moves
to open US strategic oil reserves, his two biggest oil
producing allies have kept their tanks firmly shut. The UAE
and Saudi Arabia continue to rebuff the US president as

(20:41):
he attempts to counter soaring oil prices prompted by Russia's
invasion of Ukraine, which is a lie, like, yeah, that
didn't help, but it wasn't the origin in Both countries
have been unusually frank about their refusal to step in.
The five week old war is bringing tensions to a
head in several parts of the world, but perhaps nowhere
is a regional order more under strained in the Middle East,

(21:03):
where two of America's biggest allies are now seriously questioning
the foundations not just one thing, but the foundations of
their relationship. The Saudi and the Amoradi refused to bail
by now or even take his calls as push relations
between the Ghost States and Washington to an unprecedented loe.

(21:24):
The extraordinary flow of Russian wealth to Dubai, just as
the US and Europe try to strangle Putin's economy, has
inflamed things. Further add to that, there's still spluttering talks
between Washington and Tehran, which could see sanction reprieves in
return for oil returning into in return for Iran returning
to the Obama era nuclear deal, and there are clear

(21:45):
signs of a faltering friendship with the potential to rewrite
the geopolitics of the region. I do not think anyone
understands what losing the petro dollar will do to these
United States, and it will be solely the fault of
Joe Biden and John Kerry. They are like a fucking disaster.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (22:15):
No, I mean, well, that's the thing. I don't think
a lot of people do understand what it's going to do,
because nobody really pays attention to that kind of shit anymore.

Speaker 16 (22:23):
Oh, oh, it gets better, It gets better. Unusually opaque
and often inscrutable officials in Albu Dhavi and Ridya have
been recent weeks been uncharacteristically blunt to visiting diplomats about
the nature of their grievances and how far they are
prepared to take them. One Western diplomat told The Guardian

(22:44):
that a Saudi counterpart had said, this is the end
of the road for US and Biden and bathed but
maybe the US. Also prominent Saudi and Emeraldi commentators shared
the same sentiments. The former a Rabbia editor in chief,
moham At al Jayaed, shows the previously unlikely form of
The Jerusalem Post to publish his views on the standoff

(23:07):
the Saudi US relationship is in the throes of a crisis.
He wrote, I'm increasingly disturbed by the unreality of the
American discussion about the subject, which often fails to acknowledge
just how deep and serious the rift has grown.

Speaker 14 (23:26):
Yeah, well, you know.

Speaker 16 (23:28):
Al Haya al Hyaha. Al Hiyaha contrasted Washington's demands with
Beijing's no strings diplomacy, saying, while American policy is beset
by baffling contradictions, Chinese policy is simple and straightforward. Beijing
is offering Ridia a simple deal, selish or oil and
choose whatever military equipment you want from our catalog, and
reterm helpless stabilize global energy markets. In other words, the

(23:51):
Chinese are offering what increasingly appears modeled on the American
Saudi Bia that stabilized the Middle East for seventy years.

Speaker 14 (24:04):
Yo, huh isn't that special?

Speaker 20 (24:07):
Uh?

Speaker 14 (24:07):
Huh isn't that special?

Speaker 16 (24:14):
Look? COVID causes everything?

Speaker 15 (24:19):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (24:27):
The official lift of COVID symptoms on the NHS has
been extended to cover nine new symptoms, including sore throat, fatigue,
and headache. Apparently you're getting COVID every weekender it well.

Speaker 14 (24:38):
I mean, they keep changing the definition of COVID, so
quite possibly.

Speaker 16 (24:42):
They enjoined the three symptoms of the fever, a new
and persistent cough, and a loss or change in taste
and smell. According to NHS, extending the list may help
reduce infections by helping that people detect whether or not
they may have COVID. However, coincides with the end of
the opera for Freeze Universal COVID nineteen tests to help
people confirm whether they have the virus. COVID infections hit

(25:05):
a record high in the UK, with almost five million
people estimated to be infected. The vaccines are doing so well.
The new signs are shortness of breads, feeling tired or exhausted,
an aching body, a headache of sore throat, a block
to running nose, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and feeling sick
or being sick. Get that guy's feeling sick or being

(25:26):
sick is a symptom of COVID.

Speaker 14 (25:30):
So are they just going to start calling everything COVID?
Is that the plan?

Speaker 16 (25:35):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (25:36):
My god, feeling sick is a symptom of COVID.

Speaker 16 (25:44):
I can't even with this, I really can't.

Speaker 14 (25:47):
Just kind of makes you wonder, I mean, are they
just going to change how we deal with everything and
just start calling everything COVID because that was a really
broad definition. I'm just saying that was a really broad definition.

Speaker 21 (26:00):
Scary, but he's the.

Speaker 20 (26:01):
Only thing I care about. How many people are being
hospitalized for COVID and how many people are dying of COVID.
My my initial.

Speaker 16 (26:16):
Thought would be not very many, or the UK would
be in a panic mode. Yeah, with five million cases?
I mean, come on, do you really have five million cases?
Why am I like thinking probably not?

Speaker 14 (26:39):
Well, if they're counting everything is basically COVID, now, then
that may explain why the cases are getting so high.

Speaker 16 (26:51):
So then every other headline on the on the UK
Garden Guardian is about Ukraine.

Speaker 18 (27:00):
Oh wow, every other headline is about Ukraine. And I
bet if I went on CNN or NBC or any
of the other ones, it would be as well, like.

Speaker 16 (27:13):
It's all you're allowed to care about. Well, they change
the way we produce food, the way we produce energy,
the way we run our economy.

Speaker 14 (27:26):
Yeah, well you know that's all they want you focused on. Anyway,

discretion is.

Speaker 19 (34:14):
Advised and welcome back into the program.

Speaker 14 (35:17):
Ladies and gentlemen. Sorry, but that's we were talking shopping.
I lost dragon time. Anyway, welcome back into the program.
We are alive. This is Monday morning, and it is
the Monday edge. Knew we were daily dose. Kind of
become a unicorn lady, but there is one anyway. I
kind of feel proud of myself, especially since I said
most of the weekend away and we'll come up like
two thirty this morning. I never really gonna go back

(35:37):
to sleep.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Anyway.

Speaker 14 (35:40):
Yeah, it's been fun. I don't know what it is.
Last few weekends in a row. It's like I've been
sick most of the weekend. It's just annoying. But then again,
you know, they keep changing the definition of COVID. Now
I felt this weekend could have been COVID.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Again.

Speaker 16 (35:53):
All it takes is feeling sick. If you feel sick
or not well, it could be COVID. That's a symptom.
That's a listed symptom. No, I don't feel well today.
My back hurts. Maybe it's COVID.

Speaker 14 (36:08):
It just proves that they're trying to not let this
thing go.

Speaker 16 (36:13):
I'm just like, I'm reading the list, and I'm like,
are you kidding me? Everything's COVID.

Speaker 14 (36:20):
Sorry, that was probably loud. I accidental microphone to go
check a level that hit my mics? Did fun time?

Speaker 16 (36:28):
Oh good? H I just don't know, Like I was
hopeful a couple of weeks ago when doctor Fauci alluded
to retiring, but now I don't think he's ever leaving.
And I found out something really disturbing over the weekend.

(36:53):
Remember how like the NIH director Francis Collin resigned. Yeah,
he just became an advisor to President President Biden. Like
he didn't really go anywhere. He's still like running the show.

Speaker 14 (37:10):
So apparently I missed something while I was passed out
for the weekend. What I guess. Elon Musk is now
Twitter's largest shareholder.

Speaker 16 (37:20):
Why he did it?

Speaker 14 (37:21):
Apparently did somebody just dropped the link in the chat.

Speaker 16 (37:24):
Oh my god, I did I love him?

Speaker 15 (37:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (37:27):
This is from the Financial Times Elon must becomes Twitter's
largest shareholder, and it was datelined. When is the dateline?
This is not the normal format, so it was posted
an hour ago, so it's not even that old of
the story.

Speaker 16 (37:44):
Wow, that's awesome.

Speaker 14 (37:48):
I bet Jackie is like.

Speaker 16 (37:49):
Well, he like put out a tweet. Should I start
my own social media platform? And everything's like no, just
by Twitter. Apparently he pays attention to his timeline.

Speaker 14 (38:02):
I bet. I bet jack is a little scared to
death right now. That's kind of funny.

Speaker 16 (38:07):
Well Jack's gone.

Speaker 14 (38:09):
Jack's gone. Damn. I have been out of it for
a while.

Speaker 16 (38:12):
Yeah Jack, Yeah, no, the new CEO is worse than Jack.

Speaker 14 (38:16):
Oh god, is that possible. How long has Jack been gone?

Speaker 16 (38:19):
Uh huh, oh gosh a couple of months?

Speaker 14 (38:23):
Oh yeah, see, HiT's what? Yeah? I don't really. I
mean I get on Twitter a lot more than I
used to, but for most of the last year we've
been off of it. I don't really do social media
much at all anymore, unless I'm doing something like work
related for this stuff.

Speaker 16 (38:41):
Well, yeah, I forgot who the guy who took over
was but he's worse than Jack. Yeah.

Speaker 14 (38:52):
Per Blueberg Data, Musks now nine point two per Twitter
Steak would make him the largest shareholder in the company. Notably,
it is more than quadruple the two point position of
founder Jack Dorsey.

Speaker 16 (39:07):
That's funny. Well, Twitter can look forward to a couple
of things, right.

Speaker 14 (39:13):
The founder and only have two and a quarter percent
of your own company.

Speaker 16 (39:18):
Probably because he was letting it go because it's not
very profitable. Musk's motivation to buy it doesn't have anything
to do with money. He has to do with making
a point. And when you have as much money as
Elon Musk does, you can spend money making a point.

Speaker 14 (39:36):
Yeah, as we like to call it, this man has
spunck you money in.

Speaker 16 (39:40):
Speed exactly exactly. Oh well, I just find it adorable,
adorable how they hate him and they make an example
of him, and they want to bankrupt him, and at
the same time they want everyone to buy an electric car,
of which he makes the most.

Speaker 14 (40:03):
I still find it funny.

Speaker 16 (40:04):
Good to make up my mind.

Speaker 14 (40:06):
Well, I still find it funny that the guy who
makes the electric cars is telling them you're doing this
wrong because our technology is not there yet.

Speaker 16 (40:14):
Oh I know. I think it was Pete Buddha Jeedge's
staff or Don Kerry's staff. It was even better went
and told the Biden administration, Yeah, it'll be ten years
before we can have a secure supply chain separated from
China to do EV batteries.

Speaker 15 (40:32):
Gee.

Speaker 14 (40:32):
I think nice of you to finally admit what there
is is already.

Speaker 16 (40:38):
Knew, right, all this is doing is enriching China and
the people who are making the policy and invested in China.
We all know what's going on.

Speaker 14 (40:53):
We see you, Yeah, in the words of the Biden administration,
we see you, but not how you think anyway.

Speaker 16 (41:03):
Mm hmm. That's just crazy. Like I think it's just
another symptom of being led by really old people. They

(41:23):
like have one answer for everything, and that's a solution
from nineteen seventy five. I mean they literally try to
pull they're literally trying to push early twentieth century solutions
for everything.

Speaker 14 (41:43):
Well, here's the frustrating point with me for all of this,
because you've already mentioned this before, and there's a couple
other things that I mentioned before, so I'm just gonna
mention them all. There is officially a car in Israel
that runs on water.

Speaker 21 (41:54):
Uh huh.

Speaker 14 (41:55):
So if we're really trying to save the environment, there
you go. They talk about all the pollution from plastic.
You know what, we could have been making plastic from
him for all these years, and that actually biotic grades.
They know this. So if we're really trying to save
the environment, why aren't we doing that?

Speaker 16 (42:12):
Because it's never been about the environment.

Speaker 14 (42:15):
I get it, But I just like to point out
their hypocrisy every chance I get, because pretty simple, if
we could make a car that ran on water, we
wouldn't be beholden to China for one.

Speaker 16 (42:25):
Same thing, like why is why is idea giving out
synthetic meatballs?

Speaker 14 (42:30):
I still don't understand that one to be truthful.

Speaker 16 (42:33):
But then and then eating them with Bill Gates, Like
I'm sorry, I look at Bill Gates. He looks like shit,
He has man boobs, He does not look at all healthy.
So why am I going to take advice from him
on what I should be eating?

Speaker 14 (42:51):
All I know is my problem was synthetic beef, and
you know, beef substitues and everything else. Is you start
looking into what goes into their creation, and there's this
nice little law list of things that are in there,
and then you go look at the actual meat and
it's like, what's the ingredient meat? I think it's always
what I want? Thank you?

Speaker 16 (43:12):
Anyway, you know what, shelves were never emptied during the
entire pandemic, the vegan crap, the beyond meatshelf.

Speaker 14 (43:27):
You know why because nobody eats that shit.

Speaker 16 (43:30):
Nobody. But even like my Angle's grocery store, which is
like the working class grocery store. You go in there,
there's a bunch of plumbers, a bunch of refugees. Like,
it's not it's not like Wegmans or Public's or your
high end grocery store. It's like the regional grocery store
with fire sale meat. Right. Yeah, They've dedicated an entire

(43:54):
case to this. Now, like nobody's buying it.

Speaker 15 (43:59):
What are you doing?

Speaker 16 (44:01):
Number one? It's expensive as hell. I nember two. It's
like ship Like you look at the sausage and I'm sorry,
it looks perverse. That's all I can say.

Speaker 14 (44:19):
Get your mind out of the gutters easy. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 16 (44:24):
My mind is not in the gutter. That's the sad part.
You just look at it. You're like, ew, shit, it's
like this really weird color too. It's not it's not
in color meat actually is.

Speaker 14 (44:42):
It's not meat of it.

Speaker 16 (44:44):
It's like a little too pink.

Speaker 14 (44:48):
Mm hmm yummy.

Speaker 16 (44:51):
M oh wow. Here's a nefty quot oh from somebody
in the UAE.

Speaker 14 (45:05):
What happened?

Speaker 16 (45:06):
The guiding American assumption here, if there is one, is
that the country's old regional allies have little choice but
to eat whatever is served to us for breakfast and
eat it again for lunch. This assumption is arrogant and fault.

Speaker 21 (45:25):
Well, please tell us how you really feel, crazy.

Speaker 16 (45:37):
Wall, Yeah, I I don't know how we do want
another two and three quarters years.

Speaker 14 (45:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 16 (45:52):
I'm like down to quarter years at this point.

Speaker 14 (45:56):
I really don't know. I'm not sure I'm in the survivment.

Speaker 16 (46:00):
What he is, super super super super confounding to me
is the pulling is in the toilet. Seventy and in
a recent Gallup polls, seventy five percent of Americans think
the country has had it in the wrong direct. Seventy
five percent of Americans don't agree on anything okay, And

(46:26):
they're not changing. They're not changing anything, they're not moderating,
they're not changed, like what, there can be no outcome
to this other than a blood bath in November unless
they think they've got the system so tied up they

(46:47):
can prevent that from happening, in which case there's going
to be a riot, and maybe that's what they want,
so they can declare martial law. I really don't know.
But when Obama got Schillact, he moderated. When Clinton got
shll Act, he moderated. Every president moderates when they get

(47:10):
SLL Act, except this one. And they can see the
shellaction coming from like ten miles away. All the older
Obama people are like, they're gonna get selected every like
Obama advisors are out on MSNBC talking about how fed
up Joe Biden is. That's and they're not changing anything. Well,

(47:36):
I mean, it's terrifying.

Speaker 14 (47:38):
If Joe Biden was actually in charge, they probably wouldn't
be changing a few things. But his handlers, and they
are the ones that are really running him, don't give
a shit.

Speaker 16 (47:46):
But who are those people if they're not old dam Obama.

Speaker 14 (47:51):
I really don't know. All I know is at this point,
I think they've just decided they're gonna run us to
the cliff. Run us towards that cliff as hard and
as fast as they can, and hope we get there
before time runs.

Speaker 16 (48:00):
This is why you this is why you are not
supposed to like people who hate our country.

Speaker 14 (48:05):
Well, I mean, the thing about it is nobody really
saw how much they hated the country until it was
too late, unless they were paying attention. Because remember, anybody
who thought Joe Biden was an asshole was automatically you know,
conspiracy theorist everything else, you know, never mind the fact
that that's one of the oldest crime families in the country.
I mean, Joe Biden's family has never been cleaning. I

(48:26):
don't care. So now I've even noticed some of the
mainstream media is now floating a question that can to
the one they kept asking about Donald Trump. Is Donald
Trump going to pardon his children before he leaves the

(48:47):
White House? Now, apparently Biden administration refuses to answer questions
as to whether he'll as whether the administration will will
pardon the hunter Biden. So I guess now that they
have those voice but to report them, they're finally gonna
start touching on it a little bit.

Speaker 16 (49:08):
Yeah, I don't know, Well.

Speaker 14 (49:16):
That can't say. Well, recent poll for registered voters finds
slightly more support than opposition for banning abortions after fifteen weeks.
That was a Wall Street Journal poll.

Speaker 16 (49:50):
Okay, trying to figure out, Oh wow, I guess I
guess this would be considered a right wing think tank.

Speaker 14 (50:07):
What is it?

Speaker 16 (50:09):
The Hudson Institute. One came a Neil Kanish But that's fine.

Speaker 14 (50:20):
I just want to say, I'm not sure I've even
heard of them.

Speaker 16 (50:27):
Well, it's got my Chaele Juran in it, and I
like him dominated on Twitter. Oh yeah, so yeah, Foreign affairs,
American interest commentary. I like commentary. But anyway, I gotta

(50:52):
figure this out who some of these people are before
they write about them and about their opinion. You know,
I'm not exactly I'm much more a domestic policy wonk
than I am a foreign policy wonk. But this stuff
in Saudi's really killing me. And I still think we
should have Joseph I agree, since he said on this

(51:17):
very podcast, if Biden is elected, y'all are fucked. I
mean he didn't say it like that because he's classier
than I am, especially earlier in the morning.

Speaker 14 (51:26):
But yeah, I have a bad influence on you. What
you used to refuse to cuss on the air.

Speaker 16 (51:36):
I think Mourning did it to me. I'm not a
morning person, and yet.

Speaker 14 (51:40):
You volunteered for a morning show.

Speaker 16 (51:45):
I had to get like up and al, I just
saw your comment on Bill Gates and that was e
thing fantastic. Bill Gates wants everyone to look like a
frumpy lesbian bookstore clerk like him. Oh oh, and I

(52:09):
just say he looks like Woody Allen. Oh. Elon Musk
causes the COVID.

Speaker 22 (52:28):
Nice, Ah, Elon Musk hasn't bought Twitter yet.

Speaker 16 (52:39):
He's gonna buy Twitter nine point six hens like ten
percent of the company. Yep, don't you get to like,
don't you get to like sit on the executives and
make them change their policy if you're the largest shareholder.

Speaker 14 (52:51):
I'm pretty sure. I mean that's usually how it works.

Speaker 16 (52:57):
Yeah, it Twitter exactly. They're just going, oh no, yeah,
oh no.

Speaker 14 (53:02):
I've never been the largest shareholder in anything really other
than this, so I don't really know how any of
that works.

Speaker 16 (53:07):
Yeah, I'm the largest shareholder in my backyard. I'm pretty sure.
If you're in a publicly traded company owning nearly ten
percent as a thing, though, you gotta wonder if you
drove up the share price getting it. That'd be pretty funny.

Speaker 14 (53:26):
Probably it does show the share price went up some,
so he probably did, because buying ten percent in one
whack is going to be enough to drive the price,
assuming you bought it all at once anyway, So unfortunately
he made Jack a little Richard me for now.

Speaker 16 (53:51):
I need that link. Can you send me that link.

Speaker 14 (53:55):
The one from the Financial Times thing?

Speaker 16 (53:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (53:58):
If I still have it, if I can go find it?

Speaker 15 (54:00):
Hang on?

Speaker 16 (54:04):
Was it on Twitter?

Speaker 10 (54:06):
Uh?

Speaker 16 (54:07):
Not?

Speaker 14 (54:07):
The art? Well, there was. There were a couple of
different articles. So the one that I found that was
actually from Financial Times was down in another rabbit hole.
But I'm sending it to you and DM now, yeah,
it's kind of a weird.

Speaker 16 (54:26):
Oh my god. Oh h CNBC. I've got one on CNBC.
All right, I can find it. It's all good.

Speaker 14 (54:47):
I was gonna say, I sent you the other one
in DM.

Speaker 16 (54:52):
Yeah, but the Financial Times often has a paywall that.

Speaker 14 (54:55):
One didn't seem to. But I didn't look too.

Speaker 16 (54:57):
Far into cool. I'll open that one too. Apparently Twitter
shares went up twenty five.

Speaker 14 (55:05):
Percent, doesn't really surprise me.

Speaker 16 (55:12):
Musk owns seventy three million, four hundred and eighty six thousand,
nine and thirty eight shares of Twitter, which represents a
nine point two passive steak in the company. According to
the SEC thirteen G filing release.

Speaker 14 (55:26):
Monday, that's a lot of shares.

Speaker 16 (55:28):
To be the steak is worth two point eight nine
billion based on Twitter's closing price on Friday.

Speaker 14 (55:37):
How many shares if that's if that's barely ten that's
less than ten percent. Dude, that's a lot of shares.

Speaker 16 (55:50):
Like I just oh, man, dude runs a Twitter poll
and then spends nearly three billion dollars. I like, he
cracks me up. Oh, he cracks me up. He's like,

(56:12):
really the Babylon Bee. Yeah, it's time for me to
get in bold. Well he's like, do I start a
new social media company? No, don't do that, just buy
this one.

Speaker 15 (01:05:02):
That's right, babe.

Speaker 16 (01:05:05):
All right.

Speaker 14 (01:05:06):
So you know, so we've been talking about this for
a little bit. You know, you've done a lot of
the You've done some evening shows with me from time
to time, and we were carrying your buffoon of the
week stuff that you were doing there for a while
that I don't really know what happened to that, And
then I figured out what I think I figured out
what happened when you started teasing this new thing that
you're working on. So I don't know. You're the guest.
So you want to start there where you want to start?

Speaker 15 (01:05:28):
Sure? Yeah, I mean, well I started doing the before
of the week stuff for a for a little bit,
and uh, it got me into thinking that, you know what,
I really haven't fleshed out the idea of what a
political buffoon is. And this is something that my friends
and I have been talking about since we've been in
politics and we got exposed to every sort of like

(01:05:50):
freaky lew and what I could do that there is
and uh, we always had these conversations trying to you know,
quantify and distill the ide year of what a buffoon
is so that we can identify it when the next
dummy kind of walks into office and says, hey, I
wanted to run for office. And a lot of that
is what this book is about. It's the product of

(01:06:12):
those conversations that we had in trying to, in a
funny way, identify what a political baffoon is. So we
have this book Schnooks, Crooks, lies and Scoundrels that's going
to act like sort of like one of those nature
guys like when you're out and you know, maybe old
school days if you ever seen that movie The Big

(01:06:32):
Year and they have like a birding guide or whatever
when they're looking at birds and trying to identify whatever
this is it except for like political idiots.

Speaker 14 (01:06:42):
I think I might need a few copies of them
for some people. And I know, oh wait, I'm sorry
to say that I love my bed.

Speaker 15 (01:06:48):
Well, it's fun to give it to people who know
nothing about politics, and then they'll be able to see
through themselves. Oh well, this sort of creature does this
type of buffoonery, and so on and so forth, And
it's really good for if you can match up the
characteristics of the person that you know is a buffoon
to the candidate that's going to be coming at you

(01:07:09):
that you may think is a buffoon. It's a good
way to try to, you know, suss out the the
impostors out there.

Speaker 14 (01:07:18):
Sounds very interesting, So why don't you give us one
example of maybe how they have like a particular way
that particular the book would work as far as sesting
somebody out.

Speaker 15 (01:07:28):
What do you mean by sure? Absolutely so? Uh, this
is at least that at this point in our study
of buffoonology, which is I'm not taking any of this seriously, people,
it's made of science, we've identify at least eleven different
types of buffoons out there that vary in degree. So,
for instance, we can talk about what I like to

(01:07:51):
call the lowest form of buffoon, which is the BS buffoon,
and you can figure out what BS means for yourself.
The best exampample of a bs pafoon that we have
these days is probably Congressman Hank Johnson, if you you
may may remember him as the congressman who believes that
Guam would tip over if there was a deployment of

(01:08:12):
troops made on the island. Of course, Uh, he actually
said this in a committee hearing through a member of
the Army Corps engineers, and we go ahead to laugh
about it. So that is probably the best example of
a bs pafoon. Someone who's so confident in themselves that
they don't realize how stupid they are when they try

(01:08:34):
to open their mouth and try to show how smart
they are. But their their own sort of inner confidence
or you know, audacity if you will, has said to them,
don't worry, it's okay you can talk about an island
tipping over. No one's gonna no one's gonna think you're crazy.
They just they're gonna go along with you because you
are the congressman. That's an example of sort of the

(01:08:55):
more benign type of affoonery, you know what I mean.
If you want to go to the other end of
the spectrum, there is what we're calling the radioactive which
would be more like Uh, Andrew Cuomo and what happened
with him recently. Uh, being drummed out of office. And
if you look at the fallout from that, he caught

(01:09:17):
his brother in it, he caught CNN in it, he
caught uh, you know, the head of me too in
his uh, in his web of buffoonery. So that's a
good example of sort of the most detestable type of buffoon.

Speaker 14 (01:09:34):
Nice, very very nice. Yeah, No, I was just kind
of curious because you know, I don't prescribe to the
buffoonery aspect as much as you do. So it's just
kind of nice to give somebody a breakdown of it
because I don't know. To me, they're all idiots, so
I guess it doesn't really matter.

Speaker 15 (01:09:51):
Well, I meant the one thing that I tried to
do is buffoon. I try to make a more broad term,
because yes, they are all idiot idiots. It's just another
way of saying buffoon in sort of this pseudo science
that we've created, because in order to get from that
sort of benign level to the more serious level, there

(01:10:11):
is idiocy, but there's also insidiousness. There's also that intentional
almost criminality that we have to talk about that is
born from ambition, that's born from arrogance, that's born from
all the negative traits you think about when you think
about politicians, and that's sort of where the idea of
Baffoon of the Week came from. It came from these

(01:10:32):
conversations with my friends where we have these debates about
bafoon of the week, and then it sort of blossomed
into this larger discussion about what is it within the
human condition that makes people not only act like these idiots,
these buffoons, but to actually see other buffoons out there

(01:10:52):
doing the exact same thing and basically following in lock
lockstep with them. That, to me is the biggest mystery
that we have to solve here.

Speaker 14 (01:11:04):
Yeah, well, I don't know. I mean, I I really don't.
I don't know how. I don't know how you would
address that, because you're you're not wrong. I mean, it's
like you have this whole gaggle of people's just doing
stupid crap, and they're all doing the same things, and somehow,
I don't know. It's just all random to me.

Speaker 15 (01:11:22):
But but I tend to believe that you're able to
do this through really keen observation of your subject. There's
so much out there in the public with every politician
that gets into office. You know, someone just think doesn't
get into Congress like Donald Trump got to the presidency,

(01:11:42):
you know, by just running for the presidency the first time,
and boom you're in. You know, a lot of these
politicians give you warning signs at the local level when
they first run for office, and when they first gain office,
and when they're first conducting the powers and the authority
of their office. And they graduate up to different levels.
So you have, in some cases locally years of opportunities

(01:12:04):
to vet these people to see if they have those
same proclivities. Are they so arrogant that they, you know,
they dismiss public meetings and think that they know better
than everyone else. Are they so image conscious that they
don't really talk off the cuff and aren't allowed to speak.
Maybe our own president should take that que and stop talking.

(01:12:26):
You know, those are some examples. Like the last election
with our now glorious President Biden. The one signs were there.
They were all there, and they were there every day
with every gaff, every time he called somebody fat, every
fight he got into with a constituent. He was acting
like a buffoon. But apparently eighty one million people, if

(01:12:47):
you believe that, decided that Hey, that's my guy, and
that's where we're going.

Speaker 14 (01:12:52):
Yeah, well, Jerry's still out of sweather. It was actually
eighty one million people, but there was enough one way
or the other. But yeah, no, I don't even get
me started with Biden because the thing that drives me
crazy about that, now that you've opened that can of
worms is now here with you. Oh boy, the New
York Times that everybody else coming out two years later
going oh, by the way, that hard by the laptop story, Yeah,

(01:13:13):
that was actually legit. Now that it doesn't matter anymore,
are you kidding me? Do you know how many people
they took a poll, They're like, over like almost twenty
percent of the people that voted for him said if
I'd have known this story, I wouldn't have.

Speaker 15 (01:13:26):
Absolutely. You know, there's a whole chapter in the book
devoted to buffoonery in the media. You know, there's this
idea of the hack, you know, the the hack journalist
who is crusader rather than reporter. And surprisingly enough, this
is found throughout history. The way the book is laid out,

(01:13:48):
by the way, is we tried to find the best
we can what the type of buffoonery we're gonna be
talking about is then we take one example from history,
one example from current events, and then we tie it
all in how we've had only one perfect buffoon ever
in human history, and that being the Reverend Al Sharpton.
Of course, I mean, that's he's the He's the benchmark

(01:14:10):
by which every buffoon show be measured from now to
the end of time. But when we talk about media,
because I bring it up to you, you bring up
the whole Biden laptop discussion. When you talk about media,
there's been a history of crusading media in this country
basically from its inception. You can find I mean, you
can find newspaper accounts that are absolutely dripping with partisanship

(01:14:32):
and dripping with this idea that they know better. Obviously,
no time like the present. But again when you say
no time like the president, it can also you can
also look back at history and say, huh, they had
a lot of the same problems, just not the same
technologies that we had. I mean, if you look back
at yellow journalism and the way that Snash American War
was waged, there's very much ah a culture in American

(01:15:00):
journalism where reporters decided that they're going to make themselves
bigger than the story, or they're going to control the narrative.
This isn't a new problem. We're just dealing with it
in a new way. So when you say that, you know,
you get discussed with the media. Americans have been getting
discussed with the media since there's been in American media.

Speaker 14 (01:15:18):
Yeah, I mean, but honestly, you know, being a history
a buff, you've kind of hit on another thing I
like to talk about. The American media used to be
a lot different. Like the whole idea that the media
was going to be neutral. That's a fairly new creation,
and it's flowed to begin with. The reason there were
so many different takes in so many different directions is
before you know, for every when they admitted the printing press,

(01:15:39):
suddenly there were sometimes three, four or five different papers
in the same little small town, and they all had
their own slant. It didn't become this idea that media
had to remain neutral until roughly the beginning of the
twentieth century, maybe a little bit before, and that was
flowed from its inception. I don't necessarily mind that media
has a slant. What I mind is when it has
a slant and it pretends it doesn't. That's my problem.

Speaker 15 (01:16:02):
And what I mind more than that, and I get
what you're saying. What I mind more than that is
when media has an air superiority above the noal everyday person,
the idea that they're the main character and that we're not.
You know, I just threw into the chats some great
conversation going on in the chat. By the way, uh,

(01:16:24):
media and politicians, they all and any buffoon out there,
they're all the main character of their own story, right.
And that's sort of a human thing where where we
all feel like where main characters. But more so it's
an American thing that has been observed by out people
outside the country. Everyone thinks that they're the main character
of their own story, and in doing so, they put

(01:16:46):
themselves first and how great they are, uh. And by
doing that, they also are put forth how superior they
are to you. And you know, because media and the country,
you know, the Jim Acosta of the world and the
uh you know, the formerly the Fredos of the world

(01:17:07):
all and there are many on the right as well
that you know, think they're better than you, and they
know they're better than you, and they try to remind
you of that every day. Sooner or later, that sort
of arrogance catches up to you, especially when you're helping
your brother hide his sexual alliances and his indiscretions in office,
and you're starting to work for a you're working for

(01:17:29):
a company that is supposed to be high that is
actually highlighting him. I mean, you know, all this stuff
not only happened now, it's happened back then too. So
I agree with you that you'd rather know the biases
than you would not write. You want to know that's
where the point of view that someone is coming from,
and maybe that's where you know America's media tradition should

(01:17:52):
be going instead of being holier than thou.

Speaker 14 (01:17:58):
I mean, honestly, I think one of the biggest issues
where we've gotten to the point where we have holier
than the media. Honestly, in some ways I blamed folks
like Woodward and Bernstein because once we started having celebrity
celebrity media, everybody in the media thinks they're you know,
they're they're they're a kind of Hollywood Now. That's when
they really started making themselves part of the story, at

(01:18:19):
least more commonly.

Speaker 15 (01:18:20):
Anyway, you know, I tend to take it back even further,
I go back to I would go back to William
Randolph Hurst and uh, you know, the turn of the
sanitary media, yellow journalism, I forgot. You know, William randolp
Hurst is probably the modern day father of today's media.

Speaker 16 (01:18:38):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (01:18:39):
He employed and he encouraged journalists that would make themselves
the story. But he also encouraged taking a point of view. Uh.
And and that's when you know, you talk about, you know,
the Spanish American War, and you talk about us, us
getting involved in that condent, and you know, colloquially there's

(01:19:02):
this statement of William Raydall Hurt saying, you know, you
provide the pictures, I'll provide the war. That story actually
is a fabrication by a journalist who never actually heard
him say that. So even the wholemark quote of you know,
with case know's yellow journalism is fake news. So this

(01:19:27):
is sort of the inception that you get with media
of you know, this idea that they're bigger than the
story and they can dictate where a story goes instead
of observing the natural flow of the story. And that's
why they're buffoons. That's why there are so many buffoons
in media. It's over one hundred years of tradition of
this sort of advocacy journalism that they end up always

(01:19:50):
inserting foot into mouth with.

Speaker 14 (01:19:54):
Oh the old foot and mouth disease, that they're right
with it. I'm just saying, oh, all right. So as
far as the book is, it out yet.

Speaker 15 (01:20:04):
So the book is not out yet. We're currently in
a pre launch phase. I've signed on with a newer
publisher called New Degree Press. Uh. It's a it's a
great company that has just started taking in manuscripts and
I'm very happy to be with them. They've developed more

(01:20:24):
of a a hybrid publishing model, whether you get all
the same benefits of a publishing house, the editors, the
the you know, the marketing, uh, cover design, layout, all
all that stuff that a normal publishing house would give you,
except I own the rights to my book instead of

(01:20:45):
me selling the rights to a company and having to
get a book agent and you know, getting this money in.
If we don't sell enough copies, you gotta give the
money back and things like that. I didn't want to
go that route. I also didn't want to go the
self publishing route, where hey, guys, I wrote a book
and it's really really good and you know, you'll never
see it again, So what New Degree is doing. So

(01:21:06):
I've taking those two models and putting it together where
we do a pre launch of the book now, and
we do it through indiego Go. So if you wanted
to see if you want to learn more about the book,
you go to Indigo dot com. You do a search
for Political Buffoonery, you'll find my book. And there's a
campaign going on right now for the next thirty days
to help defray some of the costs of publishing. That

(01:21:28):
will go towards the cover design and all that. But
what you get out of it in exchange for supporting
a campaign is you'll get a signed copy of the book,
or depend upon the perk, you pick multiple copies of
the book if you want. And you'll also get a
front row seat for the process itself. So when I
you know, we'll be reviewing chapters together to see, hey,

(01:21:49):
do you guys like the way this flows or do
you like this story? And what do you think of
the introduction and all that stuff, and then you'll be
involved in the cover design. You know, we we have
know a cracked team of people a New Degree that
it would be creating multiple covers. Then people will get
to choose what the cover is.

Speaker 23 (01:22:07):
And you know, this will culminate into a bigger launch,
probably around the September October, right in time for the primaries,
when you're in the height of primary season, and we'll
be able to celebrate this idea, the birthday of this
idea before that would come from this community of people
that are you know, just so cool and so awesome
and honestly, you know, I've been doing the campaign now

(01:22:29):
for about today's day four, and we've barely woken up.
The response has been tremendous, and I've been very very
happy with it, especially for not having for having sprung
it on everyone and not really hyping it up for
many many weeks or many many months before.

Speaker 15 (01:22:44):
I'm really excited about it, and you know, the people
that have responded so far, it's been great. It's been
so much fun. And that's really what this whole journey
is about for me. It's about reconnecting with people that
I haven't spoken to in a while, like like you know, I,
I've spoke to you in a minute, So this is
this is totally fun. And it's also for uh, the celebration,

(01:23:07):
especially amongst my my group of friends that you know,
this idea and all these discussions we had for a
decade when we were in politics and we've since all
gone on separate ways. It'll live on and that's sort of,
you know, the main thrust of what I'm doing. What
I'm doing. I'm getting choked U because I'm talking about
my friends so much, But yeah, that's really that's the
bigger motivation behind behind the book. And as you can tell,

(01:23:31):
because I can't stop talking, is I'm really excited about it.

Speaker 14 (01:23:35):
I mean, you know, for those of those of you
who don't know, he's an attorney, so not being able
to stop talking.

Speaker 15 (01:23:40):
Oh jeez, gosh, why you've got to turn the crowd
against me?

Speaker 14 (01:23:46):
Man, I still love you anyway. Most of our crowd
knows that you're an attorney.

Speaker 15 (01:23:51):
I know, I know, listen, listen. I know that you
have a discerning, intelligent, even beautiful crowd, especially in the
chat room and stuff. I've been following discussion with Elon
Muskin and him buying Twitter and all that we can
we can get into, you know, the maffoonery of social media.
But you know, I I love this is always a

(01:24:12):
favorite stop for you whenever I'm like doing something on
on on politics or whatever the case may be. I
love reconnecting with everyone.

Speaker 14 (01:24:22):
Well, we definitely miss having you around more often, so
anytime we can connect with you was absolutely amazing. Stacy,
you've been kind of quay. Are you still okay over there?

Speaker 16 (01:24:31):
Oh? I'm okay over here. I just didn't know if
I was just I was just letting the boys chat.

Speaker 14 (01:24:37):
Is that what that was?

Speaker 16 (01:24:39):
Well?

Speaker 15 (01:24:39):
Well, and now here's Stacy to tell me how everything
I said is absolutely wrong. Stacy, go for it.

Speaker 16 (01:24:48):
My goodness, My goodness, Jeane doesn't know how much I've
calmed down apparently.

Speaker 15 (01:24:53):
No, no, no, no, that's I was. I'm just playing around. Stop.
I'm just how much I.

Speaker 16 (01:24:59):
Calmed down and become become a demure and quiet commentator.

Speaker 15 (01:25:04):
Yes, zen light, I think people have said, zenight, I think.

Speaker 14 (01:25:08):
We might need to take a break so I can
put my boots on a little deeper around here.

Speaker 16 (01:25:16):
I ranted first hour, I'm a little tired.

Speaker 15 (01:25:20):
Yeah, that's totally understandable. I mean, I get it, it's early.
It's a Monday. You know, there's a we just came
off WrestleMania weekend, So maybe people haven't the hangover. I
don't know, but uh, listen to each their own. I'm happy.
I think I can talk enough for the both of us.
And as the chat just said, yeah, Zen, Stacy could

(01:25:42):
be a little scary.

Speaker 16 (01:25:43):
I I feel that Stacey goes zen, it's over, guys.

Speaker 14 (01:25:47):
Yeah, that's because you wonder at that point who she's
plotting to murders because yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:25:51):
No, no, no, if I if I go zen, that
means it's all about to burn to the ground. Yes, okay,
I I think we still have a shot at preventing
it right now, like we have a shot because things
are gonna go sideways when people get hungry.

Speaker 15 (01:26:08):
But oh no, she gets.

Speaker 16 (01:26:12):
Well no, but yeah, I mean haven't you heard clau
Schwab and Joe Biden talk about food shortages?

Speaker 15 (01:26:21):
Oh yeah, I mean, isn't It's become the.

Speaker 16 (01:26:23):
Game sideways, Gene when people get hungry. We have a
lot of people in this country that have never been hungry.

Speaker 15 (01:26:30):
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big, fat,
fatty So when it comes to food shortages, of course
that that sounds like the apocalypse to me.

Speaker 16 (01:26:38):
So you know, well, I mean I'm not I'm not making.
I'm not even making a judgment on anybody's level of
physical fitness. Even people who are fit have had a
range of choices in.

Speaker 24 (01:26:51):
Being able to manage their diet for their entire freaking lives.
I do not think most people in this country, based
on some polling I'm seeing, hey, understand how much of
the ship they use every single freaking day, up to
and including chemotherapy in your mom's blood pressure medication comes

(01:27:11):
from China.

Speaker 16 (01:27:13):
Okay, Like I see these polls, we think we think
China should be sanctioned just like Russia they if they
go all in and like really, really, you people don't
understand anything, Like I too believe we should have a
strategic plan to decouple from China. We're not doing that
right now. So until we have that, just we can't

(01:27:40):
do this, Like we don't even we don't even make
we don't even make textiles in this country. Y'all are
gonna be naked in a matter of months.

Speaker 15 (01:27:52):
Oh the visuals, oh geez? I just you know, maybe maybe.

Speaker 16 (01:27:58):
Instead of adventuring in Middle East, we should have concentrated
more on our own hemisphere and then much lake China
is preparing Africa to offload all of its lowland manufacturing
on We could have offloaded our low end manufacturing to
the south of our border if we had taken people

(01:28:18):
in Mexico and Central America and South America seriously, and
we could have had allies instead of a cartel on
the southern border that is intermarrying with the CCP rant over.

Speaker 15 (01:28:35):
That's okay, listen, I agree with you. There is a
stigur of me for pulling it back to this, a
buffoonery of globalism. There is this idea of interconnectedness and all,
you know, we're all on this ones being blue dot
together and and and you know, therefore we must all
be uh, you know, one people and all this. Look,
I'm not against globalism, I'm against our own unpreparedness. As

(01:29:02):
Stacy pointed out, the buffoonery, if you will, of globalism
is that you give up all of yourself, as this
country has done, for the sake of those who do
not like you. You know, macro and microproblems here we
talk about in this country when we talk about our
own cars and battles, our own tribal battles of you know,

(01:29:23):
why are we giving money to companies that don't like
conservatives and you know the whole Harry's Razor thing that
came up with a daily wire and all of that.
But take that to a larger scale. Why are we
out here supporting a global economy when all we're doing
is empowering people who do not like our way of
life and that if they had their ways, would prefer
killing you and taking you over rather than actually helping

(01:29:45):
you out. What has the global economy done for us
besides you just expand markets where people can take our stuff,
copy it, and then try to sell it back to us.
So I'm with you on all of that. It's been
decades of that, and both sides are responsible for the that, uh,
And I further agree with what they says. There needs
to be a plan going forward because the hurdy deir

(01:30:07):
sanctions of you know, President Biden, who can't find a
coherent sentence between hands in a flashlight is not working.
I mean, we saw what happened recently with Russia, UH,
that they decided that if you're going to buy oil
from them, it has to be in rubles and you
have to open up an accountant in their bank so
that the conversion can happen there and that's the result

(01:30:29):
of the sanctions here stateside of us, you know, taking
them out of you know, the credit markets and and
you know, and all these other economic sections that we've had.
It's the dumbest thing in the world, you know. And
then you have Biden come back saying that all these
sanctions are never meant to do anything. It's dangerous levels

(01:30:50):
of effoonery here.

Speaker 14 (01:30:54):
Well, it's terrifying, is what it is. Because I mean,
you know, as I call them the Cauliflower and Chief,
he can't do anything right. I mean, you know, as
one of my other co hosts called Donald Trump the
Leslie Nielsen and presidents because anything he backed into is
still seemed to work out anyway. Now we have this
guy who has the reverse minas touched because everything he

(01:31:14):
touches turns into shit. And it's just I mean, we
went from one of the strongest economies on the planet
for the first time and forever to one of the
weakest in less than twenty four months.

Speaker 15 (01:31:23):
And some of that had to do with Oh no, no, no,
I have to fact check you there. I have to
fact check you because our better is in the mainstream media.
You're telling us that this is a booming economy. Yeah, well,
how dare you denigrate the greatest economy known to man? Well,
don't you know that inflation's good for you. You take

(01:31:44):
that money and you spend it right away, and you
get all the stuff you want. Well, you know, sixty
five percent of the stuff that you want, but you
still get stuff. I mean, seriously, the audacity, Rick of
you denigrating the greatest economy from the most popular president
in history is beyond me. Beyond me.

Speaker 14 (01:32:02):
Yeah, well, it's beyond me how somebody could technically go
from my numbers wise, what was supposed to be the
most popular president in history to less popular than a
crackhore on the street corner in less than eighteen months.

Speaker 15 (01:32:14):
But you know, all right, so now you've insulted cauliflower
and you've insulted crack horse. I should I should I
still be on this show. I mean, I you know,
you're going after everything we love in treasure here.

Speaker 14 (01:32:27):
I'm gonna yeah, you know, I almost. I almost was
a real smart ass.

Speaker 15 (01:32:34):
No, no, please please bring it, please bring it. Come on.
It's a Monday, people. People need something to look forward
to in the day, So please go ahead, don't go back.

Speaker 14 (01:32:44):
I guess at this point, if I'm going to say it,
I might as well say it about both of us.
When is the last time either one of us eight
fucking califlower?

Speaker 15 (01:32:49):
Sir, Oh listen, I am anti collibower, anti broccoli. There's
a whole lobby of people that have been trying to
hook kids on the Brocoli conspiracy theorist. But it's out there.
How many and you want to buffoonery, how many cartoons
have you seen in the past twenty years when they
talked about eating broccoli and how it being a good

(01:33:10):
thing versus when we were growing up and we had
George Herbert Walker Bush telling us how much he hated broccoli.
It's conspiracy by the government people. And I'm telling you
watch out for the broccoli.

Speaker 14 (01:33:21):
Lobby, cauliflower, the bino broccoli.

Speaker 15 (01:33:27):
You know, I thought you. I thought you were gonna
go the other way and ask, well, when was the
last night either either of us was at a brothel?
But you went the you went the saferuit.

Speaker 14 (01:33:35):
I'm single now, so I refuse to answer that question
from other grounds that I may incriminate myself. No, I'm
just playing.

Speaker 15 (01:33:40):
I wish yes, yes in the chat room, Big broccoli
is real. Yes it is, Yes it is. Thank you,
my brother, thank you. Look up.

Speaker 16 (01:33:52):
We need we need to buy all the things before
we will have own nothing and be happy.

Speaker 14 (01:33:58):
Oh yeah, that's the other.

Speaker 15 (01:34:00):
Or you can be like me and just be poor
and own nothing and try to be happy. So yeah,
I'm even do. I've been doing it for the past
forty years.

Speaker 16 (01:34:06):
So now then Stacy is going to be named.

Speaker 15 (01:34:11):
Yes it is, Yes it is. I cannot wait. The
creativity in this crowd is going to be awesome. I
just want to see like total like you know, Buddhist
statues with Stacy's Stacy's face on it, just being like chill.
It would be awesome.

Speaker 16 (01:34:26):
No, no, no, no no. My favorite is my dog, right,
the Great Dane, laying on my office floor, covering his eyes,
going oh no, mommy's granting about the globalist again.

Speaker 15 (01:34:39):
Oh well, let me tell you something. Your dog probably
has more political acumen than a lot of these buffoons
that we elect into office.

Speaker 16 (01:34:48):
So certainly more than Joe Biden.

Speaker 15 (01:34:53):
Listen, I mean it doesn't my dog.

Speaker 16 (01:34:55):
My dog understands more English than Joe Biden does.

Speaker 15 (01:34:58):
Yes, but Joe Biden gets and make up his own language.
He was just for Norman, you know.

Speaker 16 (01:35:07):
Now my favorite, my favorite last week was I'm only
taking questions on the job report. We can answer other
questions next week.

Speaker 15 (01:35:17):
Yeah, if there is a next week, you know, because I.

Speaker 16 (01:35:22):
Haven't worried about being vaporized since I was like eight,
and all of the sudden vaporization is back on the table.

Speaker 15 (01:35:30):
Oh yeah, remember when you know hiding under your your
school desk would stop you from being nuclear le.

Speaker 16 (01:35:37):
From being vaporized.

Speaker 15 (01:35:38):
Yeah, absolutely those Remember the.

Speaker 16 (01:35:41):
Day I figured out what a nuclear weapon was, and
then Reagan was here and everything was fine. And now
we have Biden. Who's who was in Congress before Reagan
was elected. Joe Biden went to Congress the same year
I was born. How sad is that?

Speaker 15 (01:36:04):
Oh it's it's also a sad commentary on us too,
because we let that happen.

Speaker 16 (01:36:10):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:36:10):
I love when people talk about, you know, Soso has
been in office for forty years and we can't get
rid of him. Well, guess who has the power to
get rid of him?

Speaker 16 (01:36:19):
You know, see, the people of Delaware apparently, Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 15 (01:36:23):
Every single person's ever voted for him had the power
to get rid of him. So listen, the biggest buffoons
that I found are us, you, me, everybody. And the
way it works is, at least in the way I'm
talking about in my book, is we're all buffoons. It's
just a matter of degree. And we kept with a
way of people with a pretty funny way of measuring it.

(01:36:46):
And though you remember before the week in the videos
that I was doing was you know, measuring it against
Al Sharpton, which is why he's the perfect buffoon. But
that being said, we're the ones that let this happen
because we weren't observing people enough. Politics was not something
that was brought up at the dinner table back when
I was growing up. Religion was not something that was

(01:37:09):
brought up. Now it's everywhere in our wives. We can't
get away from it, and it's absolutely ridiculous. But now
that it's here and it's in everybody's face all the time,
we need to take the time out to start looking
at these people a lot closer than we have been
in the past, and start figuring out, you know, which
of the dangerous buffoons, which are the benign buffoons, which

(01:37:30):
are the useful idiots that you know, we'll just go
along with the flow, who's going to actually stand up
for you know, the people they represent, who's there because
of power, who's there because of money? And you know,
just go from there, because if we keep going the
way we're going, idiocracy is not going to be just
a fun movie. It's going to be a documentary on
what happened.

Speaker 14 (01:37:56):
You're wrong, But I can't anyway.

Speaker 16 (01:38:00):
Well, I mean, oh my god, can I just say this?

Speaker 14 (01:38:05):
Sure?

Speaker 15 (01:38:07):
You just said this, Now say this again.

Speaker 16 (01:38:09):
Every every news site I go to to look at
one story, every other story is about Ukraine. Like I'm
really starting to feel like the tail is wagging the dog.

Speaker 14 (01:38:25):
I'm only kidding.

Speaker 16 (01:38:28):
I felt that way for a month, but the tail
is wagging the dog.

Speaker 14 (01:38:34):
Oh no, again, I would like to say that you're wrong,
but I think this is primarily being used as a distraction.

Speaker 15 (01:38:43):
Well, everything's a distraction. You go back through history, uh,
you know, think about every war we've been, every conflict
we've been involved in in the past, how many years.
It all started with a story. It all started with
the narrative, and now narrative crafted by a buffoon, and
that narrative people ran with to the to the point

(01:39:06):
where you find out years later that Oh you know,
there were no weapons of mass destruction. Oh, that laptop
is real. Oh you mean we left our base in
Bagram before we got everybody out that It's history doesn't repeat,

(01:39:27):
but certainly does rhyme. And we see that all the
time because we get the same type of character in office,
these same types of variations of buffoon that we've that
you know, identified in the book. It just happens over
and over and over again. You know, the tour about
the tail wagging the dog. The tail's been wagging the
dog for so long that you don't even that. You

(01:39:48):
only recognize it when it's really really prevalent now because
you have new technology, because you're online and engage with
other people. You know, back when we had you know,
four four, back when we had three channels, really you
couldn't see behind the curtain the way that you do today.
Only you know, those elites that went to Harvard and

(01:40:10):
Yale and they talk like they have a stick up
their ass. That's, you know, that's the good old days
of politics for these people. Nowadays it's all out in
the open for us to see. And now that it is,
now that it is, we need to start looking at
what we're seeing this, there's between seeing and looking. We

(01:40:31):
need to start looking at this a lot more critically
than we have. And while that may be the death
of sort of this innocence that we had in America
before I would say nine to eleven when it came
to politics, it's going to be a good thing. The
more people wake up. I've seen more people talk about
news and distrusting narratives in the past year and a

(01:40:54):
half than I had in the private the prior decade.
Hour was actively involved in politics because I think, and
you know, forgive me for being a little optimistic, things
are getting better as far as on that front. There's
a lot more independent media out there that is, you know,
taking the place of a lot of this legacy media.
We're seeing the death of CNN before our eyes five

(01:41:14):
years ago. Who would have thought that. You know, it's
there is an awakening happening, which is the perfect time
to continue that momentum and start finding all these buffoons
out there, which leads to buying my book. Now I'm kidding,
but you get what I'm saying. Moment in time, we're
experiencing where people are waking up, and I'm quite optimistic

(01:41:37):
about that.

Speaker 14 (01:41:39):
Yeah, it's just it's one of those things where I mean, unfortunately,
you know, and I hate to say this, but it
seems like in history people always start waking up right
when it's pretty much too late for them to wake up.
So I'm hoping I'm wrong in this instance, but I
don't know. I just too many bad things have happened
for my liking in the life fourteen sixteen months.

Speaker 16 (01:42:02):
I just.

Speaker 14 (01:42:04):
Yuck. It's all gross.

Speaker 15 (01:42:06):
It's all gross, it is, But I think when there's
a way to do something about it. And we've been
saying this, you know, when I was doing my radio
show on Kalor and even before that, the message has
always been do your own research, find out your own information.
Don't trust what anybody a politician, a person in the media,

(01:42:28):
or me. Don't trust what I tell you or what
anybody else tells you. Go find out for yourself and
do the work and do your own research. I you know,
not not to go back to my book, but that
is why I'm here. The book is sourced by all
mainstream media sources, and I kind of did that intentionally

(01:42:49):
to show everyone that even when you accept the bile
that they're trying to feed you. There is still a
way for you to discern what is the deal in
life and what is buffoonery, So you can do it
through the sources if you're paying attention enough. It's time
we all started paying attention and we all started to

(01:43:13):
see that. And I think part of that is not
to get partisan on all everybody's ass less government less buffoons.
If you take a conservative if we take a more
conservative approach to governance and we don't let a bureaucracy
grow to the point where they become fully in control
regardless of who's elected, if we start shrinking government and

(01:43:35):
start taking more personal responsibility, that's a good first step
to avoiding a lot of the trappings that we see
today with idiots running our government.

Speaker 14 (01:43:50):
Yeah. Well, I mean not that I disagree with you,
because I don't. The problem is I think most people
below a certain age don't really care about person responsibility
any where. They seem to want their government to take
care of them.

Speaker 15 (01:44:05):
And that is and that is a problem. I think
that there has been some poor messaging. Listen, you're never
going to convince anyone that, oh, you can either do
it yourself or I'll do it for you, and have
them pick, you know, do it yourself. It's a hard choice,
but I think the choice needs to be. You've now

(01:44:26):
seen people what happens when other people make decisions for
you and take you aware your choice is for you. Now,
what what's the alternative? People I tend to find do
everything they can possible before doing what they absolutely have
to do. Look at me, I'm on the radio right now.
I should be in a car sitting in an hour

(01:44:48):
and a half worth of travel traffic. Go into my
law office right now. So people do everything they want
to do before they do what they have to do.
And I think we're getting to the point now, and
maybe this is the the optimism bias for me, that
we're get to the point where people are recognizing that
we can't keep doing that anymore. It's just the definition

(01:45:09):
of insanity doing the same thing over and over again
without with with getting you know, with and expecting a
different result. So I think we've gotten to that tipping
point where we're gonna see people like, all right, we
tried it every other way. I guess now we have
to do it this way. And once they start seeing
the benefits of that, success builds upon success. Good builds

(01:45:30):
upon good and it'll start this I'm hoping this ball
rolling downhill and maybe God willing, we'll see this fourth
turning that you know, people have been talking about the
shrouds how forth turning of you know, maybe we'll get
some stronger character people and we'll have good times ahead
and that these bad times that we're facing right now

(01:45:52):
will only be temporary. That's kind of the.

Speaker 14 (01:45:55):
Hope from your lips to God, dear sir.

Speaker 15 (01:46:00):
I don't have it. I don't have a direct line,
but hey, we can all we can all put those
good vibes out there, right.

Speaker 14 (01:46:08):
I mean, I'm an ordained minister, so you know, I
know I don't talk like one, but I.

Speaker 15 (01:46:13):
Am oh noy other than this i've ever met. Okay,
that's how the private you know, it's it's God be
with your son in the in the front of the public,
and then they steaking the whiskey in the back, you know,
And that's where I usually hang out.

Speaker 14 (01:46:27):
Anyway. So you know, interesting little side story because it
was something that I thought was kind of uh and
this is something I read on Twitter the other day,
but I thought it was interesting. So it was one
of our regular listeners who actually was in the in
the middle of doing a good deed. So he's getting gas, right,
there's a little lady who couldn't figure out how to
get things done, so because she usually uses self service,
so he goes through all this process of helping her out,

(01:46:50):
and of course while he's trying to get her gas pumps,
she sees one of the Biden I did the stickers
and why does everybody meet so mean to such a
nice man, and blah blah blah. So he realizes because
the whole and he stopped was to get milk. So
he realizes as he was leaving after helping her, he
forgot to get the milk. So he comes back in
to get the milk, and then she hands him a
pamphlet and she asks if he as a church and

(01:47:11):
he's like, yeah, and I go to this church, and
all of a sudden, her old demeanor change and she
just looks at him says, oh, you're one of those Catholics.
I'm just thinking, so you were just praising Joe Biden.
Then the last I checked, isn't he Catholic? You know
it could be wrong.

Speaker 15 (01:47:27):
Low information listen, low information people, But there's a lesson
be learned here in this story. Secure your own mask
before helping the person next to you. Okay, No, I'm
being totally serious here. You want to get out of
this hole. You know what Jordan Peterson say, Doctor Peterson say,

(01:47:48):
clean your own room before you worry about anybody else's.
That's that's what we should be doing. He So, yes,
you can be altruistic and you can help the little
old lady. But isn't it better the show or had
to pump the gasser herself? No, I'm kidding, but well
I'm saying that let that all bag grab the pump
and do it herself. Gosh darn it, this is America. No,

(01:48:08):
but what I'm saying is make sure that you have
your own place in order before you start worry about
anybody else's. This woman is the probably is the prime
opposite of that. She is a she doesn't what she's
talking about, she can't do it herself, and she's trying
to tell you that you're not doing well in life.
There's a buffoon for you, folks. We just spotted one,

(01:48:28):
you know. Now, multiply that over millions and stop those
people from getting in an office and we'll be good.

Speaker 14 (01:48:34):
Yeah, I just thought the irony of you know, and
of course that's the first thing. The first thing I
told the listener who put this thing out is I
was like, that's why God put you there and not me,
because the first thing I would have pointed out is, well,
I ask, man, I am a Catholic, But so is
that nice guy Joe you were just talking about to
turn around?

Speaker 15 (01:48:52):
Yeah, but do you really want to associate yourself with him?

Speaker 18 (01:48:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:48:55):
I mean I'm not a Catholic, so didn't bother me.

Speaker 15 (01:48:58):
I mean, well, well, let me tell you. I am
a caf I am what they call a cafeteria Catholic.
I will show up Christmas, Easter and anytime there's a
bake sale. So, uh, what would I do is I
keep my religion very close to me. But I don't
want to associate with a lot of people who claim
to be Catholic and then aren't as well. And you know,

(01:49:19):
I don't want to start uh Stacy on a rant,
so I'm gonna leave it at that. Me brand Stacy, Listen,
I I heard sorry rumors. That's how these rumors get started.

Speaker 14 (01:49:36):
I guess, oh, you know, Stacy's reformed.

Speaker 16 (01:49:41):
She doesn't the worst part of rumors about me is
some of them might be true.

Speaker 15 (01:49:48):
I feel you on that one.

Speaker 16 (01:49:50):
Mm hmm yop yoap.

Speaker 14 (01:49:58):
All right, so Jeane, one last time, your amos where
they can go help out with your whole push to
get the book started? Where do they need to go again?

Speaker 18 (01:50:05):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:50:06):
Okay? So to get this book published, I'm gonna need
just about everyone, and no norm I don't go for
the bingo bingoes for old people and I'm not old. Uh,
here's what we need to do. We need everybody. I
need everybody. Go to indiegogo dot com. Look up political buffoonery.

(01:50:27):
That's the topic. That would be the easiest way to
find my book. Snooks, Crooks, Liars and Scoundrels. A field
guide to identifying political buffoons. Support the campaign anyway you
can spread the word about it, or if you're able
to donate, great. If you give me money, I will
give you stuff. It's this isn't like a one way exchange.

(01:50:47):
I will give you at the very least assigned copy
of the book. You'll get involved in all the behind
the scenes aspects. There's going to be a party, and
Stacey knows that when I throw a party it can
be pretty rady epic so Unsustainable Bar Tab indeed, we
miss it, we love it. Shout out to Brad Marston

(01:51:08):
for I.

Speaker 16 (01:51:10):
Was not there the year you ended up on what
page six? Uh No, actually it was because of a
hot tub and a congressman. It was.

Speaker 15 (01:51:20):
It was the reliable source in the Washington Post, That's
what it was.

Speaker 16 (01:51:24):
I just know there was something in a mainstream outlet
about a hot tub and a congressman, and it was
Jane's fault.

Speaker 7 (01:51:32):
It was not my fault.

Speaker 16 (01:51:34):
Well wait, I think it was kind of your fault.

Speaker 7 (01:51:38):
No, okay.

Speaker 15 (01:51:39):
First of all, it was the hotel's fault for screwing
up my reservation and then gifting me a fifteen hundred
square foot sweet with a hot tub. All right, how
do you not get that?

Speaker 16 (01:51:49):
So they try to make it right, and they twisted it.

Speaker 15 (01:51:52):
They twisted my arm and they said you must stay
in this gorgeous concept suite with a hot tub, and
don't for that's.

the Unsustainable bar Tab party every year thereafter.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
