(00:25):
In the dark shadows, in thewhite cold. Fearlessly, we search for
knowledge new and old. We drinkthe strong spirits and read the ancient tones.
The order of the broadcast. Weare the brave and the bold,

(00:55):
the court history conspiracy and yeah,yeah, yeah. I got a little

(01:40):
bit of pushback after last week's show. Apparently I had made a statement during
the recording of the show that wedon't do politics on the show, and
I kind of got called out ona little bit. So, um,
I would like to reaf phrase that. Um, we might talk a little

(02:02):
politics on the show, but notthe way that I see it, Like,
we don't talk about poles. Thereason we don't talk about poles is
because they're pointless, they're meaningless,they're they're all wrong up until the last
second. It's predictable. It's umthey you know, any kind of stattician

(02:23):
can make a poll say whatever whateverthey want. It wanted to say,
right, they waited incorrectly because inAmerica, we u the media uses poles
to affect, not reflect what's goingon. Like I said, it's uh,

(02:44):
it's blatant, it's blatant. I'vebeen paying attention to these things for
for decades, and it's predictable.When it happens, it happens, and
everyone's fucking it's like a miracle orsomething like, Oh my god, I
I can't believe how the shift that'sgoing on anyhow, So we don't talk
politics like that. What we talkabout is we talk about the decisions that

(03:10):
political figures make, unintended consequences ofthose decisions or intended consequences depending on how
bitter you are. What what weare more interested in besides these decisions and
these consequences are how the media isculpable in covering up a lie by omission

(03:38):
not paying attention to the big news. What we are more interested in rather
than politics is the degrading of oureducation system making us more pliable. These
are the things that we that wepay attention, that we pay attention to.

(03:58):
The show isn't necessario political, butit gets political because I mean,
we'll just look at this. Lookdown the feature topic link at evercast dot
dot com. It was last updatedI don't know, a couple weeks ago.
It should be more updated than that. I got to talk to somebody
about this anyhow. Let's look atthe featured topics World War three. We

(04:20):
have Exodus, which is like existentiallyspeaking or broadly speaking, a story of
people escaping from slavery and the wildmagical stuff that sort of happens. There's
also parables in there that reflect topicsthat are in current event news. There's

(04:46):
a topic of preparedness. There's ahalf finished topic of satanism. Um I
finished. I didn't finish it becauseI got ikey feeling halfway halfway through.
Community is um, spiritual warfare,um, gnosticism, which symbolically speaking,

(05:08):
can overlay with our relationship to ourgovernment and our God or logos or the
truth or whatever whatever you want tocall it. Um. Let's see what
else. Joe Biden has its owntopic. Bible prophecy has its own topic.
Western philosophy has its own topic dilema, which is Greek for the will.

(05:34):
Um. Let's see what else isin here? Islam. A lot
of history stuff is in here.Modern military things are in here. Psychol
a depth psychology with Carl Young isin their Conspiracy generally speaking, is in
here. Genesis which you know,Sodom, Gomorrah, the fall from Grace.

(05:58):
There's a lot of stuff it's comparableto or could be overlaid onto you
know, our modern story, whatwe're going through all all the time.
Mythology, I would argue, couldbe the same sort of thing the Crusades,
foreign policy stuff with regards to Israel, the Clintons um media manipulation,

(06:29):
and CIA culture creations, and soat least half the time, I think
that the show is about the endof Western civilization, if not the world,
I don't think it's near. Idon't think it's about That's my defense
of saying it's not about politics.It's about the end of Western civilization,

(06:53):
civilization. We are clocking it inreal time as it fucking happens. So
I wanted to get that out ofthe way and kind of address the critique
that I read, the critique thatI received on it. So now that's

(07:14):
over and done with. I'm JohnTowers and this is the Abercast. Checkout
abercast dot com feature topic link.Check out the storefront, t shirts,
morale badges for your body armor,comic books, tarot cards, vessels of
the art so um. Nancy Pelosi'seighty two year old husband got assaulted with

(07:47):
a hammer, and there's a lotof very weird circumstances revolving around the story
that's still developing. Everything that Ineeded really to know at first about this
thing is I read this morning ona news piece from someplace. I just
read the headline. I pretty muchtold me everything I need to know.

(08:09):
It said the guy who attacked PaulPelosi wrote on social media about q anon.
So the implication was that he's somesort of QAnon wacky alt right weirdo.
But I'm like, yeah, heprobably was writing to condemn QAnon or
talk shit on q anon, youknow, um, and that's looking to

(08:33):
shape up into the story of theguy's a weird nudist who's got gay power
flags and Black Lives Matter stuff onthe storage unit he was living in or
whatever. Anyhow, the point thereason I'm talking about this is, uh,
you know, Paul Pelosi has beenin the news, um like two

(08:56):
months in a row for being hammeredKate. The real reason I'm talking about
this is because this uh he hadto call nine nine one one, and
of course they responded to Paul Pelosi'shouse, you know, with this um
this break in because of who hiswife is. Right, but over and
over again we're seeing in the wakeof this defund the police movement and then

(09:20):
all of this other stuff that weare turning into. We're gonna have to
be our own first responders. Um. You know, there's stories all over
the place of people calling the cops, cops not ever showing up. You
know, they were all deployed doingsomething else, or stores being robbed,
but no one's charging him, umuh with any crimes if it's under a

(09:46):
thousand bucks or whatever. Uh nocash base, there's no cash bail.
Situation in New York is crazy.And this hits home for me because here
I live in the polls a Republicof Pennsylvania in um quarantine zone three egghead.

(10:09):
The fewer egghead run runs our littleum democratic utopia here, and uh,
it's hit home for me because Pennsylvaniahas become like the one of the
most important Senate races out there.You know, we have uh one with
something going on in New York that'scrazy. We have something going on here

(10:31):
that's crazy. We you know,Arizona, that's crazy. But you know,
we've become like this little sort ofmicrocosm here because you know, um,
not to talk shit on are thetwo people, both of the two
people that are running the running forSenate, but one of them is wildly

(10:54):
vocal about letting people, letting murderersout of prison, and crime rate has
spiked. They're actually closing bars inpopular parts of town right now because they've
become nuisance bars because every weekend someonegets fucking plugged in there. Not plugged,
not the good way I'm gonna talkingabout. Like shot, they're fucking

(11:15):
getting people are getting shot in downtownPittsburgh every weekend. Um, and they're
so they're closing down like these hotspots sort of sort of bars and um,
you know, most big cities,most medium sized cities have like one
spot, like Cleveland has the Flatsor whatever, like um, Columbus has

(11:39):
like you know some I can't Ican't remember which street it is or whatever.
But Pittsburgh has like three spots wherethere's like college clubs and bars and
in this kind of stuff. Andyou know, we're having the situation where
establishments are being closed because crime isgoing fucking crazy. So we're we're in

(12:03):
a situation where we need to becomeour own first responders. And you know,
I've come to this conclusion, Um, you know, with my sort
of little preparedness journey that I've beentalking about um with my you know,
with my body armor, with allthis other stuff, my gun belts and
night vision binoculars and all those othersI have bought. I have a I

(12:31):
don't know. I don't want toget into it. Anyhow, I've come
into this idea that we're going tohave to in order to be prepared properly
become our own first responders. SoI want to talk about this crime wave
right now. And we have aarticle from Batya Younger Sargon America's crime wave

(12:52):
is not a right wing myth.Democrats will pay a heavy price for dismissing
voters concerns. The most memorable momentof Tuesday's fiery debate between New York Governor
Kathy Hokel this was amazing, bythe way, and a Republican challenger,
Lee Zelden, centered on crime.So I don't know if this article is
going to talk about it. ButZelden, he's a congressman, I think,

(13:16):
like a four term sitting congressman.He's running for the governor of New
York and it looks like he's gonnafucking win, which is amazing. Anyhow,
he recently just got assaulted on acampaign stage by a guy that had
like brass knuckles or something. Theytook this They took this guy, and

(13:37):
they just let him go. Hedid not get arrested. Eventually, since
he's a congressman, the Feds hadto get involved, and they arrested the
dude and they're making him go tolike an alcohol program, and then they're
and then they're releasing him. Findsno incarceration, nothing for assaulting a sitting

(14:01):
congressman who's now running for governor inNew York. And the other crazy thing
is this guy he's got two daughters. I think he might have worn that,
but at least two daughters were sittingin his dining room at his house.
Imagine it's probably a pretty upscaled jointsince he's a fucking congressman and a

(14:24):
drive by happened and is a driveby unrelated to where, unrelated to his
house, but stray bullets blasted throughhis fucking window and like came within I
guess like thirty feet maybe of hisof his daughters. So this guy is
like, hey, man, crimeis a fucking problem. So after his
Zelden hammered a hukol on bail reformlaws that were that were putting the criminals

(14:50):
back on the street, one ofthe main themes of his campaign. Hohkol
seemed to admit more than she mighthave wished. She said, I don't
know why that's so important to you, Une, so that reminds me of
the you know, Hillary Clinton.What difference does it make now with Democrats

(15:11):
like Hogl wondering out loud why anyonecares about repeat offenders roaming the streets,
Perhaps it is no surprise that theRepublicans are seen by voters as the party
that cares more about crime and hasa better chance of tackling it. High
profile Democrats and progressives have repeatedly dismissedvoters concerning about crime, casting the fears
of regular Americans as reflection of conservativefear mongering. You have to wonder,

(15:37):
is it really why is the guesslike voters in this way? Is it
wise to tell them that they're wrongto care about what they're telling you that
they care about because they really docare about crime. According to Gallop,
eighty percent of Americans say that they'reworried about crime, including forty three percent
of Democrats who worry about crime.Quote A great deal, unquote, a

(16:00):
Morning Consult poll finds similar numbers.Well, that's the first and probably last
time you'll ever hear that on themorning Console is a it's an awful poll.
It's an awful polling organization. Theyfind similar numbers. Over three quarters
of respondents say that violent crime isa major problem in the United States,

(16:22):
with sixty percent saying crime would playa major role in who they vote for
in November's mid terms. So there'salso other stuff going on in New York.
It's not just cashless bail. It'snot just brass knuckles and congressmen or
drive by shootings that they've had,like a spike of people pushing people off

(16:45):
of subway platforms into into train,into the paths of trains. So this
is this is like I said,it's happening in real time. Crime has
become the new what's a matter withKansas? Except now, instead of accusing
people of being hypnotized by conservative mediaand devoting against their economic interests, progressives

(17:08):
accused the working class Americans who areexperiencing a real rise in violent crime of
inventing the cars that have been jacked, the purses that have been snatched,
and the bruises they have sustained andthe loved ones they have lost to rising
murder rate. So I'm just gonnaskip jump ahead here to the next the

(17:36):
next article. And this is MayorLightfoot, who is the beetlejuice looking mayor
of Chicago, proposes giving herself anannual pay raise. Meanwhile, violent crime
is up thirty seven percent in Chicago. They call it shirak for a reason.

(17:57):
Black teenagers are at war apparently inChicago, and every weekend they are
blasting each other, and no oneis talking about it. No one is
trying to figure it out, andit seems like no one gives a shit.
Really. Wednesday, Chicago Mayor LaurieLightfoot introduced an ordinance that would give

(18:26):
the Mayor's office an annual inflation raise. Again that five percent. This,
you can't even make this up.The proposed ordinance would authorize Lightfoot to increase
her salary every year by up tofive percent, with the stipulation that allows
her to opt out of the raise. Currently, Lightfoot's annual salary blah blah

(18:49):
blah, which is way too much. She's making way too much money.
She's she's overvalued for her work rate. The Chicago mayor, has been slammed
repeatedly for the city's out of controlcrime rates. Most recently, Lightfoot came
under fire for putting more attention onposting tone deaf dance videos on social media

(19:10):
than on making Chicago a favorite placefor residents. The city has experienced a
thirty seven percent increase in violent crimecompared to twenty one Fox News reported.
Compared to the same period last year, motor vehicle thefts are up eighty three
percent, theft is up sixty percent, burglary is up twenty one percent,

(19:30):
and robbery is up seventeen percent,according to statistics collected by the Chicago Police
Department. Stats on recorded sexual assaultsfrom this year remained comparable to last year.
However, sexual assaults were up twentyfive percent twenty one compared to twenty
twenty two. So there's a phenomenonwith um, I gotta say this very

(19:55):
delicately, there's a phenomenon in someAfrican American communities that tend to show that
rapes and sexual assaults are underreported bya gigantic amount. For their's theories regarding
why I don't I don't want toget into all that stuff but if every

(20:18):
other kind of crime is going up, why aren't sexual assaults going up?
The Chicago Police Department reported that murderis down seventeen percent compared to last year.
The rising crime rates are likely toblame for multiple corporations deciding to leave
Chicago within the past year. Tyson'sFoods, It's a Top Flight Bird outfit,

(20:38):
Boeing, Caterpillar, Citadel, andthe United Airlines announced plans to relocate
elsewhere. So something that we haveto talk about here is why are they
leaving? Is this a chicken inthe egg sort of debate? McDonald CEO
Chris Kempster zeniskid that the city wasquote in crisis unquote. We have violent

(21:03):
crime that's happening in our own restaurants. We're seeing home We're seeing homelessness issues
in our restaurants. We're having drugoverdoses that's happening on our restaurants. Kapeisky
said, there's a general sense outthere that our city is in crisis.
The fact that there are a fewlarge companies headquartered in Chicago this year than

(21:23):
last year, There are fewer thismonth than last month. The truth is
the more difficult for me to recruita new employee to McDonald's to join us
in Chicago than it was in thepast. Lightfoot attempted to defend our annual
pay raise by explaining that the increasewould be comparable comparable to a Chicago alderman.

(21:45):
To be clear, the ordinance thatwas introduced today would put the mayor,
the city treasurer, and the clerkin line with aldermen regarding a cost
of living increase. Lightfoot said,it is not a salary increase. Well,
okay, right, Um, God, she's a weird looking lady.
Okay. So I wanted I didn'twant to just keep reading these crime just

(22:15):
doing crime. I was because that'sthe only part of the problem, right.
The other part of the problem isthat the system is changing. Um,
you know, I mean there's somethinggoing on where there's an inverting that
is something it's being inverted, andum, I got this article to kind

(22:37):
of try to demonstrate that, andthen we're gonna go on with this stream
a little bit. It's Unamerican,it's unchristian. A seventy eight year old
grandmother arrested for feeding homeless people inArizona and now she's suing the city.
Seventy eight year old grandma is suingan Arizona city after she was arrested for

(23:00):
feeding homeless people. Norah Thornton saidshe had been serving hot meals to homeless
people several days a week in ArizonaPublic Park since twenty eighteen. Thornton,
a former resident restaurant owner from Alaska, made the meals from scratch. She
brought the meals to Bullhead City CommunityPark because that's where the homeless people tend

(23:21):
to congregate, plus the nearest foodpantries are several miles away. Norma had
just finished feeding about twenty seven homelesspeople on March eighth when two police officers
drove into the park. Bullhead CityPolice Department officer called a higher up,
who instructed him to arrest Thornton fordistributing food in a public place. A
city ordinance enacted in twenty twenty onerequires everyone to attain a permit to share

(23:47):
food in public places. The ordinanceclaimed that the food sharing events have been
repeatedly seen as public nuisances where therehave been illegal behavior, human waste,
and trash. Police bodycam video showsthe officer reluctant to arrest the seventy seventy
eight year old grandmother for feeding thehomeless. The body camp footage was obtained

(24:10):
by the Institute for Justice, andnonprofit that takes on cases to defend all
Americans constitutional rights. I think thisis a pr nightmare, but okay,
the officer is seen on the videosaying. The officer informs Thornton that she's
under arrest for feeding the needy ina public place, and he promises to
bring her back to the park.After booking her, he tells Nora or

(24:33):
Norma that she is not going tobe handcuffed because I don't think you're a
hardened criminal. I don't think you'reout to hurt me. Thornton said that
she was treated with jail time ifshe came back to the park to feed
the homeless. The grandmother was fingerprinted, charged with the misdemeaner and given it
in order to appear in court thecrime of feeding homeless people in a public

(24:55):
park. Thornton reportedly faced up toone hundred and twenty eight days in jail
and a one four hundred thirty onedollars in fines and twenty four months of
probation. That was I guess you'dsay devastating Thornton explained, to be charged
like a criminal, it's still whenI think about it, it's pretty upsetting.
Thornton pleaded not guilty. The BullheadCity eventually dropped in the misdemeanor charges

(25:19):
against Thornton. On Tuesday, theInstitute for Justice launched a lawsuit against Bullhead
City on behalf of Thornton. Thelawsuit seeked a nominal damage of one dollar
and the end of the ordinance.It's wrong, pure and simple. It's
un American, it's un Christian,Thornton declared. And I can't even imagine
living in a country and being hungry, she said. And to be told

(25:41):
that you cannot feed the hungry,regardless of what the circumstances are, is
sad. It makes me very angry, to put it bluntly. It goes
against everything I've ever been taught inmy life and only punishes one segment of
society, Thornton told USA Today.And that's wrong. And I'm not trying
to change the world, but maybejust make a few people happy or let

(26:04):
them survive for another fucking day.Thornton moved to a private alley to feed
the homeless, but she said thatthere is no shade from the sun or
places for people to eat. It'sdifficult and physically taxing on Norma, seventy
eight year old grandmother, to servefood in the alley, The lawsuit says,
as a result, Norma is nowable to share her food with the

(26:26):
needy fewer days per week for shorterlengths of time than she could at the
park. Norma defiantly declared, Iam never gonna stop feeding them. Never.
I'm gonna drink the Norma. Sothe next article we're gonna be talking

(26:49):
about ten convicted first degree murderers.John Fetterman helped release from prison. This
is the guy, so they gotnear vegetable. That is the Lieutenant feer
in the People's Republic of Pennsylvania.If you haven't got a good look at

(27:10):
this guy, just go watch someof the debate he was debating Oprah's puppet
doctor Oz the other day. PennsylvaniaLieutenant governor and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman
has helped release at least ten convictsserving life sentences for first degree murder.
There's sound bites this guy going,this is the most important thing I can

(27:33):
do in my life is reduced theseprison These prison sentences for murderers. He's
there sound bites of him saying thathe can. He feels like we should
be able to reduce our prison populationby like one third with without any problems.

(27:56):
I'm like, you need to readabout recticism, brother, Like,
that's just not the fucking way itworks. Federman, who chairs the Pennsylvania
Board of Pardons, often talks aboutwanting to put an end of the state
law that requires mandatory life sentences withoutparole for those convicted a second degree murder,

(28:17):
but his voting record on the boardshows that he has successfully supported the
release of at least ten people whowere convicted of taking a life. In
April, Federman voted along with therest of the board to release fix Felix
Risi Roso for filling sorry for fillingthe unanimous unanimous vote requirement to recommend clemency

(28:44):
to the governor. This guy wasserving a life sentence after pleading guilty to
shooting a man to death in ninetyfive. July fourteenth, Egghead Governor Tom
Wolfe granted this dude request for clemency, releasing him from prison. In December,
Federman voted to release Eric Sylvius,who was convicted of first degree murder
in sixty nine for killing an elderlywoman in an attempted robbery in her home.

(29:11):
Egghead granted Silvius's request for clemency onFebruary fifteenth. In March twenty one,
Federman voted to release James Inge,who was convicted of a first degree
murder and robbery in nineteen seventy fourand sentenced to life, and and Irvin
Moore, who was serving life sentenceafter being convicted of fatally shooting a man

(29:33):
in his Philadelphia home in sixty nine. Egghead granted clemency to both men.
On March twenty fifth, twenty oneSeptember twenty twenty, Federman voted to release
Daniel Cummings, Mildred Strickland, andGregory Stover, who were all granted clemency

(29:53):
by Wolf. On February eleventh,twenty twenty one, Federman cast alone vote
in a FA bid to free aman convicted of murdering a woman with scissors.
Commings was convicted of first degree murderand seventy three for fatally shooting Philadelphia
man inside his home. Strickland wasconvinced of convicted of first degree murder after

(30:18):
stabbing her boyfriend to death. Innineteen eighty five, Stober was sentenced to
life in connection to the murderer ofa mount airyman whose body was found with
multiple gunshots in the back of thehead and with his hands and feet bound,
Philadelphia police said at the time.In twenty nineteen, Federman voted to

(30:38):
release Freddie Butler, Charlie Goldbloom,and Raymond Johnson, who were all granted
clemency by Egghead. They're both actuallyegghead. Look at these Look at the
fucking dome on this character. Butlerwas accused of stabbing and beating a seventy
two year old man to death inthe streets and was sentenced to life in
prison in nineteen seventy gold Bloom wasconvicted of stabbing a man to death in

(31:00):
Pittsburgh in a Pittsburgh parking garage inseventy seven. Johnson was sentenced to life
in prison after he was convicted infirst degree murder in nineteen seventy three,
shooting and fatally stabbing a man inPittsburgh. Federman hasn't always been successful in
pushing for the release of first degreemurderers. Last year, he cast the
loan to vote in a failed bidto free Alex Rodriguez, who was serving

(31:25):
a life sentence in Dallas after hewas one of five suspects convicted of beating
a police officer's seventeen year old sonwith a baseball bat before fatally shooting him
in nineteen eighty nine. He alsocast the loan vote last year, and
a failed bid to commute the sentenceof John David Brookins, who was convicted

(31:45):
of first degree murder and sentenced tolife in prison for the nineteen ninety killing
of his girlfriend's mother, who wasfound with a pair of large scissors lodged
in her chest. Federman's campaign isrepeatedly defended the Lieutenant governor's approach to clemency
cases, saying his record on theBoard of Pardons has been widely praised by

(32:07):
Democrats and Republicans alike. Campaign spokesmanJoe Cavello repeated the statement again when reached
by Fox News Digital on Tuesday,John saved taxpayer money and took a fair
minded approach to every case he considered, voting to the nine hundreds of pardons
and commutations cases while also siding withlaw enforcement experts. Nearly ninety percent of

(32:31):
the time. The campaign pointed tocomments made by Montgomery County Sheriff Sean killed
Kenny in a recent Fetterman ad rebutingclaims by the Lieutenant Governor's Republican candidate Oprah
Winfrey's hand puppet, doctor Mummett Ozthat he is soft on crime. John

(32:53):
gave us a second chance to thosewho deserved it. Not I want to
know what gives this guy the abilityto peer into the souls of these people
and go against the will of theirthe peers that sat and judge in their

(33:13):
case. What give does this clown? I don't know. I'm getting worked
up. I'm getting worked up aboutthis. This guy is okay justin news
dot Com. I'm skipping, I'mgonna I'm moving forward. I'm getting I'm
gonna put it behind me. Atleast a dozen cops from connectict to Mississippi

(33:35):
were shot last week. What's adate on this thing? October sixteenth,
so a week or two ago.The spewing of anti police rhetoric by some
political and media figures, as wellas the failed policy of rogue prosecutors and
judges, are placing our officers ingreat danger. The National Fraternal Order of

(33:58):
Police tweeted on third day. Atleast a dozen police officers were shot last
week amid a spike in anti policeviolence, as well as the nation's largest
police union connected with the violence andthe anti police policies and messages. Since
Monday, at least twelve officers havebeen shot. The National Fraternal Order of

(34:22):
Police tweeted on Thursday, the spewingof anti police rhetoric by some political and
media figures, as well as thefailed policies of rogue prosecutors and the judges
are placing on our officers is ingreat danger. This culture of lawlessness must
stop. With fifty six police officerskilled by gunfire so far this year,

(34:45):
the United States is on pace forthe deadliest year for officers since twenty sixteen,
according to organizations that track violence.The Associated Press reports two officers were
killed in an ambush in Bristol,Connecticut, on Wednesday, after responding to
a nine leving call about domestic dispute. The call turned out to be a
ruse to lure the officers into anambush, according to state police. NBC

(35:07):
reported Bristol Police Chief Brian Gould identifiedthe slain officers as Dustin Demonte thirty five,
and Alex Hamsey thirty four. Anotherofficer, Alex, too was injured.
Words cannot express the sadness in thegrief that brings me before you this

(35:27):
morning, Gold said at a newsconference. He lamented the deaths as a
result of senseless violence. In Raleigh, North Carolina, an off duty police
officer was killed Friday along with fourothers in a shooting and walking trail.
The suspect was arrested, but asof now, the police do not know
the motive. Tonight, terror hasreached our doorstep a North Carolina Democratic Governor

(35:51):
Roy Cooper. This nightmare of everycommunity has come to Raleigh. This is
a senseless, horrific, and infuriatingact of violence that has been committed.
In Greenville, Mississippi, detective MashaStewart was killed while responding to a call
in her hometown. She was thirtyyears old, and she left behind a
three year old son. According toNews Nation, there is an ongoing war

(36:13):
on our police, fueled by dangerousanti cop rhetoric, and the mainstream media
is often ignoring it. Television hostand legal commentator Dan Abrams said on News
Nation this morning, So I thinkit's worth me stating that I'm not a

(36:40):
cop boot licker. I've had myfair share of run ins with police officers,
and I don't think that they walkon water, and I don't think
that they always make good choices.I think that they're for the most part,

(37:00):
very afraid. I think that theirlevel of fear because maybe it's justified
or something. I don't I don'tknow what it is, but there's something
about there's something about police officers thatmake them cowards. God, I don't
want to say that. I'm definitelynot going to rewind this and take it
out. There's something about cops thatmake their terror justifiable, you know,

(37:31):
like, uh, you know,there's every time I put on this uniform,
I might not come home the nextday or something like that. So
I think that it gives them theability mentally to do things or not do
things that normal people would wind upwind up doing. So I'm not a

(37:52):
boot liquors supporter for sure. However, at the same time, it's very
disagreeable to me people are luring copsinto situations and ambushing them. That is
the wrong thing. So let's talkabout the defund movement. The fallout from

(38:12):
the defund movement. As many expertspredicted, we have seen a rise in
violent crime accompanied by an increase inofficer retirements and resignations. This was from
May twenty five, twenty twenty one, so this isn't even like updated as

(38:35):
one of my hero This is writtenby a dude named James Dudley. This
is on police one dot com.It's predictable, predictable is preventable. I
get that it's surely the case whenit comes to the ready fire aim approach

(39:00):
act first think after of the defundpolice movement. As many law enforcement experts
predicted, we have seen a risein violence in several cities across America,
both large and small, to falloutfrom the defund rhetoric, and both words
and deeds not only impacted crime ratesbut also caused an increase in attrition from

(39:22):
early retirements, lateral transfers to otheragencies, or officers simply quitting due to
low morale. Threats to reduce fundingwill not be significant to actual deployment of
field officers. I predicted that thethreats to reduce funding and resources for the
police would have a little impact onday to day operations and was a little

(39:44):
more than saber rattling. Well Iwas certainly wrong about that. The Domino
effect has caused agencies to scramble toput as many officers as possible into the
front lines to respond to the risingviolent crime, and this has left fewer
investor the gators to follow up withthe investigations and lower customer satisfaction. It's

(40:04):
also left fewer officers on the streetsto handle lower, yet still important calls
for service to keep smoldering problems frombecoming raging fire storms. Political politicians and
elected officials have seen the negative impactand many are beginning to revisit their foray
into social experiments, reduction, andsocial problems policing. This was a prediction

(40:32):
that was and continues to be accurate, and that many large cities with financial
resources are looking for alternatives to lawenforcement responding to issues surrounding mental illness,
homelessness, and drug abuse. Whilethe Cahoots program in Oregon has been held
as a sterling example of mental healthoutreach programs, creating new teams to deal

(40:54):
with the issues of mental health,homelessness, drug and alcohol addictions remain the
challenge. Some cities have tried tocreate civilian teams with ems and firefighters responding
with social workers. The struggle hasbeen to create, train, and deploy
enough teams to deal with the numberof calls for service in those categories.

(41:15):
With more than an estimated eighteen thousanddocumented calls for services of these types of
issues, the San Francisco teams stillcan only respond to less than twenty percent
of the calls. Remember, we'regoing to be our own first responders.
We have to be We got tobe prepared because they're only responding to less

(41:36):
than twenty percent of the calls.Back in whenever one call can take one
to four hours to assess address andto move an individual to services. Many
now understand the volume of calls forservices dedicated to these issues should not be
regulated to the police in the firstplace. Still, more can be done

(41:58):
to relieve law enforcement officers from dutiesbetter suited for MS providers, mental health
clinicians, and public health works departments, police as firefighters, and in the
sense that police will only respond tocalls in their most volatile and advanced states
of decay. This has seemed tobecome a reality in many cities and towns.

(42:22):
Law enforcement agencies have had to prioritizethe types of calls that required immediate,
urgent and low level of responses.Certainly, some calls for service may
be delayed without consequence, but wemay see the impact further down the road
in the form of underreporting of crime, increased violent and property crime, and

(42:44):
even vigilantism. The impact or businesshas been felt not only due to the
impact from COVID nineteen regulations, butalso from decriminalized property crime laws and mass
early releases of those previously incarcerated.So I think we get the gist of

(43:06):
that. So I kind of mentionedearlier about how something's something's flipped and things
are being inverted, so I wantedto kind of bring this up. I
doubt I'll stay UM on this fora long time, but there this is
just the news dot com. Thereis an FBI whistleblower who says the bureau

(43:28):
is using excessive tactics to ensure thatthe process is the punishment. Um.
And we mentioned Steve Friend in twoepisodes ago. Maybe uh. He says
that his colleagues share his concerns.We are supposed to be people of integrity.
Well, if you look into theFBI, you'll see that the FBI

(43:51):
was rarely they had a good pryou know, but um, you know,
these are the people that bugged MartinLuther King. Uh. There's a
lot of credible, in my mind, speculation that Jagger Hoover wasn't involved or

(44:14):
controlled by the mob in some way. And I mean there was decades where
he just refused to admit that theywere around or even a problem. There's
a lot of people that can't wraptheir head around that. I think that
is what led to the speculation thatJagger Hoover dressed up in women's clothes,
like the mob got pictures of him, like in women's underpants or something.

(44:40):
It's hilarious. It's a hilarious idea. The FBI agent in Florida said he
chose to blow the whist to blowthe whistle on his agency because he has
not been following his own rules whileinvestigating the January sixth riot. Designing cases
to exaggerate the threat of domestic terrorismin America and using excessive tactics to ensure

(45:01):
the process is the punishment, evenif a suspect is innocent. So what
they're saying is is that if youare if you find yourself in a legal
battle with the United States, government. You're in fucking trouble. You know.
They just print all the money theywant, like it's dealing with unlimited

(45:22):
dealing with someone who has unlimited resources. They have buildings full of attorneys just
sitting around looking for something to do. Hey, you got time to lean,
you got time to clean. Wetook an oath before our family and
our friends and the Lord Almighty,and we are supposed to be people of
integrity. Suspended FBI Special Agent SteveFriend just told the News in a wide

(45:47):
ranging interview that's not a leisure pursuit. If you are indeed a person of
fidelity, bravery, integrity, whichis the FBI motto, you have to
be willing to do things that aren'teasy, especially when they are as simple
as stepping up and pointing out whenwe are not meaning the standards that have
been set for ourselves. Anyhow,That's all that I wanted to get too.

(46:08):
There's another funny one here, Joe, the people making laws about First
of all, the Second Amendment iswritten in pretty plain language, you shall
not infringe the rights. So allthe gun laws that are on the books
from everywhere are unconstitutional. Anyhow,Biden is rattling around and it's hilarious because

(46:35):
people making these laws don't know anythingabout guns. Here, case in point,
Joe Biden pushing to limit gun ownersto eight bullets in around Natalie hold
On, My legislation says there couldbe no more than eight bullets in around.

(47:00):
The guys doing these mass killings,they have magazines, they call them,
and they can hold up to onehundred bullets in it. And that's
just like having an automatic weapon,which we're not allowed to have, by
the way, Supposedly, in thecourse of the interview, Biden restated his
claim that AR fifteen bullets travel fivetimes five times the speed of an ordinary

(47:22):
bullet. That's nonsense. He alsosaid that air fifteen rifles are made for
one thing, to kill people,and he said that he can find no
rational reason why assault weapons should besold a period. So I just wanted
to transition from that one to thisone. This is a New York Post.

(47:49):
Biden's supersized IRS army will declare waron political enemies. The public should
be frightened that the Democrats have passednew legislation to weaponize the already abuse of
Internal Revenue Service. If you're like, why are they abusive. I don't
get it. Just go read aboutLois Lerner in the Obama administration. Don't

(48:12):
I'm not going to cover era.For nearly a century, presidents and members
of Congress have used the IRS toharass and incriminate political foes. In addition
to collecting revenue to fund the government, and the IRS as a hit squad
to that destroys reputations and criminalizes dissenters. A lot of pain can be inflicted
under the guise of tax auditing.The bill President Joe Biden signed Tuesday erroneously

(48:37):
labeled the Inflation Reduction Act will meanmore audits, more investigations. The law.
Listen to this. The law roughlydoubles funding for the IRS's Enforcement Division
addie as many as eighty thousand agentsand auditors. That's fucking crazy. There's
an additional article. I'm this kindof sticks my point, but you can

(49:02):
find like how many bullets the IRSis buying. It's crazy. So I
just wanted to put the cherry ontop of this whole thing. This is
from American Military News Biden. Bidensays gun owners would need f fifteens and

(49:24):
nukes to take on the United Statesgovernment. During a Wednesday press conference announcing
his new gun crime prevention efforts,President Joe Biden said the Second Amendment has
always had limitations, and you knowit just even he should be able to
understand it. And those who thinkthey need weapons to overthrow tyrannical governments would
need F fifteen fighter jets and nuclearweapons. Biden said, if you wanted

(49:50):
or if you think that you needto have weapons to take on the government,
you need F fifteens and maybe somenuclear weapons. The point is that
there has always been the ability torationally limit the type of weapons that can
be owned and who can own them. The Second Amendment from the day it
was passed was limited to the typeof people who could own a gun and

(50:13):
what type of weapon you could own. Who you couldn't buy a cannon.
I don't think that's true, Bidensaid. Those who say the blood of
patriots, you know, and allthat stuff about how we're gonna have to
move against the government, well,the tree of liberty is not watered with
the blood of patriots. Biden commentsappeared to paraphrase a quote from Thomas Jefferson,

(50:36):
who said the tree of liberty mustbe refreshed from time to time with
the blood of patriots and tyrants.As Biden argued that the Second Amendment has
always allowed for limitations, he claimedfrom the day the Amendment was passed,
you couldn't buy a cannon. Bidenpreviously made the claim that individuals cannot own

(50:58):
cannons at the time there to theSecond Amendment was passed. In May twenty
twenty, the fact check resource PolitiFactclaimed Biden Biden's claims about owning a cannon
was quote false unquote, noted instancesof private ownership of canons during the time
period, including American privateers who ownedprivately owned vessels and privately owned cannons to

(51:22):
attack other ships for other nations shipsfor profit. During his Wednesday remarks,
by also claimed reasonable gun owners seeno justification for owning firearm magazines that can
hold a hundred rounds. Talk tothe most responsible gun owners and hunters and

(51:44):
they'll tell you there's no possible justificationfor having one hundred rounds in a magazine
of a gun. He said,like I've said before, what do you
think the deer are wearing kevlar vests? But oop boop, So I'm gonna
end it right here. But Myfinal thought on this article is that you
don't need f fifteens in nukes totake on Joe Biden's government. The Taliban

(52:10):
beat Joe Biden in like a yearand a half, and now they actually
do have a fifteens because we justgave them to them. Anyhow, I'm
