Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:30):
The following program contains course language and adult themes. Listener
discretion is advised and welcome everyone to another episode of

(01:07):
The Cocktail Lounge. I am your hostess with the most
saggy and with me as always, is the ever swath
affable and coloffable co host Brad Slager. How are you
doing tonight? Brad? What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:21):
What am I doing?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'm drinking. What do you think I'm doing? What do
I usually do on the show?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Okay, so you're facing a cocktail?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Got it? What did you? Are you getting bad feedback
or something? Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I'm hearing everything.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Oh all I was doing was pouring a drink and
nothing else.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Okay, all right, fine, how are you doing then, besides
fixing yourself a drink?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yes, needing too. It's just been kind of a busy
and heck weekend, but doing well. It's been. It was
pretty active, we had been.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I think I was watching football consistently since Thursday. It's
just that magical time of year when finally there's something
out besides baseball and w n B. A.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Well, you know, it's I mean, what can I tell you?
It's it's people are now happy.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Indeed, indeed, it was the people are not happy.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Seemingly a long time coming, but it's we're here. It's
finally football scenes. So we got Thursday night NFL and
college college on Friday, college on Saturday, and it's pickoff
on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
It all worked out, which, yeah, there.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Was a lot of football there was. The Dallas Phillips
game was actually on Thursday too, so.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
The official kickoff of the season.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
That kind of sucked, I think both teams and then
they go scoreless in the second half or something.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Uh. Yeah, it was Uh, it was a pretty weird game.
I gotta say. It was a It was a time
that Dallas was out there shining. There was, of course,
the little interaction between the Philly thug and the cowboy idiot.
So that made news, you know, because it was kind

(03:34):
of wow to have a Philadelphia Eagle spit on a
Dallas cowboy like that. And yet that was the only Yeah,
and that wasn't the only time with football players. It does.
Some college football player also did it to another college
football player, and I'm just like, have we forgotten that? Oh,

(03:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
There's good sportsmanship, yes they have that, But it was
in the University of Florida versus South Florida game.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
That had to take place.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Like you said, it was all like the colleges were
playing high school teams.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
So yeah, the college schedule last weekend was kind of weak.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I mean it was kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
I was sitting in the bar Friday night, we were
kicking around with a bunch of people and I just said,
I go, yeah, I think most of the matchups this
week suck. And the one game that was on TV
they showed it's like upcoming games for the top ten.
I go, there, you go, they're all playing like Vasser
University of Phoenix, Full Sale University, you know that kind

(04:48):
of crap. And then I'm looking at the rest of
the schedule and it was literally almost top to bottom.
There was one game we even like kicked around, like,
who the the heck is College Game Day the ESPN
show on Saturday going to go to so well, it's
got to be the only one worth of dam which
was Michigan at Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
So that was it.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
But yeah, the rest of the role, I mean, it
did make for a couple of upsets, like SMU and
the Baylor Bears had their intra Texas so are they
a rivalry.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I'm not even sure.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't know anymore, because I mean, it's the schools
fluctuate from one conference to another around here. Ever since
the breakup of THEBC, it has been I've never been
able to keep up. And I'm right here in the
middle of it. I'm literally three hours away from you

(05:49):
right now, So I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
You figured with Waco and Dallas playing each other, that
might be, But.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Honestly, here in Florida, UM has only one true rivalry,
and that's with FSU, but they do play each other
every single year, so it's just that's when it's long established.
We are playing the Gators this year.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
That's a refreshing change, and.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I can't really call that rivalry because they've been ducking Miami.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
For so long. So it's it's going to be a
nice month. Though.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's kind of funny on the UM schedule the entire
month they do nothing but play.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Florida schools, so that wow. They had the rollover game
this week against Bethune cook Man, which is an HBCU,
but then.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Next week they play University of South Florida, which is
from Tampa.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Figure that out. Still not over that one.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
And then Venice UF and then they close out them
on against that SU.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
So it's maybe enjoyable.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
But yeah, the so spending took place in the UF
South Florida.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Game on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Maybe maybe it was a bit of karma, you could
say that, because the Gators ended up losing that game.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Amazing enough, Hm, gee that was that really was unexpected.
I was, I was. My cousin was not happy.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Gas in the family.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, and I was like, gee, that's so sad, too bad. Anyway, Well, it's.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Just it was kind of amazing because they're playing in
the swamp, they were at home.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
That should have been a smoke over for them. And
know they're looked like garbage.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I thought they were like favored though.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah they were right now.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I will say this in my I do a weekly
college football column at Red State, I did mention in
the comment section was somebody they were talking about schools
that can be the prize of the year, and I said, what,
you gotta watch South Florida bulls. They're gonna shut They've
been building the program up. They just won their second

(08:10):
straight game against the ranked opponent while being unranked.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
And that does not happen too often. But as a
result this week they became right to.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
The A people.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
They've gotten rewarded of these, so see how long that lasts.
And say you played number five Miamis could be a
better matchup than something participating.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
But yeah, it was yeah, across the board.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Like the SMU Baylor game was interesting that went into
double overtime and Baylor upset them, largely because that's an
you gave up too late.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's a I had one of my one
of my friends or daughter goes to Baylor and you know,
her banner, you know social media banner is like red,
excuse me, green and gold and got all little bear
things and all this do whatever. And she was like
her her post was all capital letters. You know, I

(09:10):
can't believe it. We want all this stuff and I'm
going your kids going there, you literally graduated from Penn State.
But she's like very invested. It's very cute to see it.
And but she had she had a lot of fun.
So I got.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Funny watching the game. Saturday, I was at the tavern
and one was there.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
He's got Florida Gator's hat on and the USF bull's
shirt and we're all looking at and we're like, okay,
explained He's like, well, the hat's my school and the
shirt is the school where my.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Money's going because my daughter's there. So it's little leach
and sounds like fantastic. You can't lose today, I guess,
is what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Hey, pretty much, I predicted the Aggies would win and
I was ready, just like I predicted the Tigers would
win last week. So yeah, that was that was pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, very similar, very similar.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
But yeah, Florida, Like I said, Florida laid an egg
in the swamp, which is actually biologically accurate too.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
But they they didn't look good even though they had
the lead.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Now, the Gators had the ball with I don't know,
like two and a half minutes to go. Milk the clock,
make your opponent kill timeouts, you know, try to get
the ball back. That No, let's throw the ball and
have it go for an incompletion. So we stopped the
clock on behalf before punting, and then it was like

(10:56):
a minute and a half to go for the bear.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I'm sorry for the bulls. Not one but two major penalties.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
There's an unsportsful eye conduct and then there's a pass
interfere as called Yeah, let's just give them thirty yards
on this final drive and then USF takes a winning
field goal. Those time runs out hidden just ridiculous, at
least from the I'm gonna say it right now, the

(11:24):
UF season is probably over because they have one of
the toughest schedules in college football this season. If you
can't get by South Florida, things don't look up when
you play.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
The SHC coming up. So that's it's gonna be interesting
to watch them go down. And of course, as I said,
and they also play Miami, so.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Well, you know, I'm might this might have been just
a clue. You never know. So so there's that. But
it doesn't well, okay, all right, never mind, I take
it back.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, they.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Did not look all that well, he was gonna say it.
It's there.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
And the ever interesting upset was Mississippi State beating the
Arizona State. The sun Devils cracked me up because last year,
before the season, nobody gave them anything like the Sun
Devils coming to like seventh place in the conference. They
managed to win the conference. They went deep into the

(12:25):
playoffs too. Postseason, they were strong. They shocked everybody so
it seems like their job is to prove the experts wrong.
Because this year they were ranked like twelve and the preseason, Paul,
they were still up there until they got beat by
Mississippi State, probably one of the weakest schools in the SEC.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Major upset and that knocking completely out of the top
twenty five.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
So yeah, we're still looking at a lot of upsets.
Michigan lost again in the Oklahoma game. They've dropped off now.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
It's yes, it's still in the shakeout mode right now.
We're trying to figure out schools.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, I'll mention that Michigan will be depressing this year,
and I'm like, well, I think a lot of a
lot of a lot of teams will not be meeting
expectations because the expectations were just like too much in
my opinion, and it's a dessert. Like I always say,
it's a deservice to the schools. And this is reason

(13:32):
number five hundred and seventy five. While you should not
start the ranking until after the second game, that's I'm
going to die on that hill. I'm going to die
on that hill.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
I know, I know you are.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
You're lady, hadn't meant about that, but at the same time,
you still got to do this.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I mean it's you don't, you absolutely do not.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
But we wouldn't have anything to talk about that about
where they're ranked and all this stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
No, we can still talk about how happy they play
or the stuff that they do. They don't have to
be ranked.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Now. But the thing is, everybody knows that ahead of time.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
You know, it's it is all speculation, especially now with
the nil being a factors.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
You year to year, you.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Just don't know what you have on the roster. I
had no idea how good Miami was. I still really
don't because there's still a lot of things to shake out.
But I will say they look a little bit better overall. Uh,
you know, Carson Beck replacing cam Ward. It's not a sideways.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Move, but it's okay. With a good quarterback like that.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Defense looks better, offense looks pretty decent. So you know,
I'm starting to get a better feel of it. Are
they a top five team? You know, maybe maybe not, but.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Pretty satisfied so far.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
So it's, uh, it's worthwhile. You know, they're higher ranked
now and they do have lost, they still have some
time to get back into it.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
And make the playoffs, and.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
That's a good thing. So it's just excitement. It's just
something to get interested over.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
That's why you have to look at it that way.
Don't overanalyze it. That's an order.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Okay, done?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
And how how about you are the how are the
Aggies playing for you?

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Well, like I said, the Aggies once they were gonna
win anyway. But yeah, for those of you not in
the know, the Aggies played the Aggies. We played due
doest date they and they did really well. I think
they The score was forty two to twenty four, so
it wasn't, you know, a blowout or anything like that.

(15:46):
And Utah had some excellent plays. I got to give
them props. They really did. I think Casey conception concepts
on actually was probably the best, the best one out
there this past game. He he, I excelled. He went

(16:10):
more than out of his way to catch that fall.
And there were you know, there were times when it
looked pretty if he but you know, the Agis did
pretty well. Like I said, it was a lot of
people expected the Texas A and m Aggis to actually

(16:31):
do more of a fifty to three score or something.
And this is a problem that I keep I keep
dealing with with people. It's like, you never underestimate your
opponent because that's going to get you in trouble. And
there were a couple of times that Texas A and
M did underestimate Utah State and they paid for it. So,

(16:56):
I mean, it was nice that Mayagi's won, but I
gotta say I had the other Aggie's one, I would
have been like, yeah, I told you, you know, I
would have. I totally would have. There's still my team.
There's still my team when I lose. But sometimes you
just got to have that tough love. Right now, I'm
having an issue with the entire there's something blowing up

(17:17):
over at Texas A and M with the College of
Arts and Sciences, so I'm following that. Bruhaha. Oh yeah.
Apparently there was a student in one of the it
was children's literature classes for the Department of the Education,

(17:38):
and they were teaching gender ideology. And the gal said,
I thought this was against the law. You know, it
goes against I know it goes against my religious beliefs,
but I also believe that this is against the law.
You're not supposed to be teaching gender ideology. And it

(17:59):
was being video taped and the teacher said, well, you
are more than free to leave the class. And there
have been emails that have been undisclosed between the teacher
and the student, and the teachers actually said, or the
head of the English department has said that the student

(18:23):
will have whatever grade she had, but not to come
back to class. So and that was with accordance with
the teacher, Professor McCall macowe or something like that. And
so she had an appointment. The young student had an
appointment with the president of the university and there was

(18:45):
audio about that, and that was also lead. The president
is trying to do some major repairs, but it's not working.
His statement was kind of on the bad side. Now,
there were some people on one side saying, I think
she just she actually instigated everything because she was taping
this and you know, she was set to record and

(19:07):
all that stuff. And but somebody said that wasn't her video,
that was another classroom person's video. So nobody sure whose
video that was. But I know that she did go
to visit the president with the intent to record, and yeah,
we we we have a right to do that. So

(19:28):
things are just boiling over with that. So that's what
I'm you know, the football has now become secondary. Nobody's
even talking about Texas A and on football right now.
They're talking about this little kerfuffle that's going on because
this is actually much bigger than the football. Our president
is retired three stars general, no she star girl, and

(19:53):
apparently his daughter is really big into DEI as well.
So it's well, this is what I told everybody. Just
because you're in the military doesn't mean that you're going
to lean right. And it has been my extensive experience
that generals don't lean right. They tend to lean less.

(20:16):
So when we got this guy as the president for
our alma mater, some of us were like, we'll see
how this plays out. We did not. I mean, let's
say that Robert Gates was also one of our president
of our university, and we all know how that turned out.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
So it was something too.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
When it comes to generals, you have to understand that
to rise to that position and even achieve more.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Stars, you have to be a political animal. It's just
a reality of the situation. So no shock at all
to hear or see any kind of like d I'm
going to come of the.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Upper reaches as we've seen over the less generation.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well, you know, this is a problem. Well, this is
a problem that has we've been yelling about for the
past fifteen years at Texas A and MDI, and all
of that is so entrenched that it doesn't matter if
you get rid of the department heads or you know,

(21:25):
the teachers that have tenure. The curriculum is already entrenched.
It is just so deep. It's going to take a
while to root it all out. That was the hope
with bringing in this president. He has extensive career in administration,
being a general. You know, But I don't see this

(21:48):
playing out really well because it didn't. This the audio
just made him look really hostile. And had he kept
his head, had it been civil about the whole thing,
it would have been okay, I would have I would
have actually been well, you know, he's actually trying to
put forth the fact that some of the curriculum cannot
be changed, and a lot of the curriculum tends to

(22:11):
be vague on purpose so that the professors can then
teach what they want to instill adhere to the curriculum.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
M hm.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
So that's that's another issue there. So yeah, I'm watching that,
I'm seeing it play out in real time, and I'm going, oh,
this is a telenovela.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well, I mean, I'm just a little surprised that this isn't. Well.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
The reason that it isn't bigger than football at the moment,
just wait, the week is young is due mostly to
the fact that the the the video and the audio
was picked up on Twitter and TikTok and it went
viral in those two instances, and so it's been the

(23:03):
governor has been aluded to this. Ken Paxton has been
aluded to this because Texas A and M is a
public institution. So that's why write down people are like,
oh yeah, yeah, we played for football too, but watch this.
We got to resolve this like real quick because it

(23:24):
can affect the football program those kids. So some of
those kids are in the education department and it might
affect them too, So you know, anyways, more of a
just wait and see now for me?

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Got it? Yeah, it's well sad and pathetic that way.
I will say this, though, I think you and.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I are regardless as being rather on the cutting edge
of this one, only because you know, everybody has written
so we can all take credit. We fixed cracker.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
We did, we rose up and we vanquished all that crap.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah, about a week or so ago they decided to
come out and say, no, we're not changing the logo
after all, Art State. We heard your complaints that we would.
Now they come out to actually determined they're not going
to renovate.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
The stores either. Like we were talking about them doing.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
You did say that they had renovated a few stores,
a few.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Of the five of them. They said they've gone through
that process already.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
And we talked about it where you know, they they
stripped most of the old crap.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Off the walls, and how they have these like art deco.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I wouldn't even call it. It's more modernism than anything.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, it's you know when you take two dozen rolling
pins and having in a geometric sheet and then you take.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Different colors in different colors pastels.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Well, it was weird marketing class in my I be
league school.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
And this is kind of a throwback retro futurism hybrid
and it is.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
It's a fusion of old and new and it shut up.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
It didn't work, It didn't look it didn't look right.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
And the whole like we.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Talked about the whole topic, the whole reason for Cracker
Barrel is old, tiny, old fashioned, old school. That's the
thing people wanted for that, And.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
It's so stupid, just so.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Stupid why they thought this was a good idea.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
It's up. It's just dumb. But I didn't go to
I Win school, So what do I know about marketing?
I swear it is.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
There's stuff that just seems again it's my affliction, my
pragmatism that I'm cruised with. How do you go it?
Go to four years ecology and get a marketing agree
of masters and whatever else, And you can't just look
at a wall and see a wall.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
It just has to be. I need to change it,
I swear it.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Just there's some things that you can update. Cracker Barrel
is not one of them because they're literally rooted in
what nineteen twenties used to be. That's that's their brand.
You can't really update that. Maybe in one hundred years
you can move it to two twenty twenty, but that's

(26:53):
about it.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
But how are you going to modernize a place that
has like advertisements on the wall for products that don't
even exist anymore, and old washboards and stuff like that around.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
But that's the point.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
And that whole mood. That motif is conveyed through your menu.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, they were changing that. We're changing the restaurant into
something so sterile you could actually have a heart transplant
performed at one of the tables. That's how sterile that
place looked.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
It just it's stupid because the appeal, the whole reason
people go there is for that old time atmosphere, for
that throwback.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
For the you know, archaic feel. The place looks like
an antique shop that's.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
By an intention, and to modernize it, you're completely getting
rid of the whole reason people went just some stupid Indeed,
now they said they're gonna stop modernizing. You're gonna go
back back and running. They the ones that the renovated.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
But hope not. Well, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
So we think it will cost him.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
It will cost them money to bring back all the
stuff that they threw out of the garbage because the
dusty Oh wait, I just I just missed the checkerboard table,
and the and the and the roaring fire. There was

(28:50):
the one that I loved going to. Had the fire
always was lit. It was an actual fire, and you
know you had the little warning sign children cannot be
in this area that kind of thing. But it was
always lit. It was so neat, it was it could
be summer one hundred and six out sign and I

(29:10):
wanted that fire.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
See you wanted the old timey comfort.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
I did. That's what I want. I want the old
timey co. I go in there and I see thees
So sign and it reminds me that in Puerto Rico,
it's still not Exxon, it's Esso, and so it takes
me back to, you know, growing up in Puerto Rico.
You see those signs for vel Soap, which, by the way,

(29:41):
yes it's still made in Puerto Rico. You see sign.
I mean a lot of the stuff that you say
the companies don't exist anymore, stuff is still being made
somewhere in the world, and Puerto Rico's proof of it.
So for me it's like, oh, I'm home again. Yes,

(30:02):
there are standard oils over in Puerto Rico. So I
think I may have lost Brad. I'm not sure, but
I will keep talking because that's what I do. As
I didn't want to bring this up, but a lot

(30:25):
of people are talking about what happened the light in
light rail over in Charleston. I think it was Charlotte, Charlotte,
North Carolina, and I know everybody is very angry. And
one of the things that I find interesting about the
whole situation with the murder of this young Ukrainian woman

(30:48):
is the lack of coverage by the mainstream media. I
think CBS covered it. They were kind of forced.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
To cover it, Yes, they were forced to.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
And but most of the coverage has been from the right,
and it has incentivized some on the left, the left
leaning journals like Axios and Politico, to actually say, oh,
they're using that that that tragedy, that the right is

(31:20):
using it. It's fueling the MAGA movement. And I'm like,
this isn't politics, No, this isn't This isn't politics. This
is about human decency and her right to life which
was taken from her. And meanwhile you have people saying, oh,
we shouldn't judge the you know, he he's also a

(31:41):
victim of circumstance. No he's not, he's he's not a victim.
He has There were fourteen mugshots that I saw with
this guy's face and I'm like, yeah, and and and
even his family wanted him locked up, and they just
says that wouldn't be fair.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
So I want to say something that's going to be
highly controversial, is that. Okay, sure, they've been plastering that
poor woman's face all over the place, and you know,
I'll say it. She's not an unattractive blonde, white lady.
She looks quite you know, nice looking. But you notice

(32:24):
that everyone is posting that picture. But if you look
at the imagery during the event, how young and innocent
she looks. But yet, if another certain person would have
been removed from the planet, they would have grabbed his
thirteen year old picture instead of the way they currently look.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yep, this is true. There is a lot of racial bias,
and it is done on purpose. It's done to sway
the populace into thinking in one direction. I mean, we
all saw it with Trayvon Martin. He wasn't twelve years

(33:10):
old when he committed that crime.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
No current pictures.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
And I'll never forget that. That was the first time
I started hearing the whole white Hispanic thing. I'm like,
the what what? I could not believe that that was
even a thing, but the media ran with it, and
now we have that we have white Hispanic and they

(33:38):
were trying to do African American Hispanic, but they can't
because it's too much, so they actually stuck the black Hispanic.
But that the whole thing is is just beyond a tragedy.
It's the culmination of, as bit said, disastrous policies. And

(33:58):
I am sure that somebody is going to say something about, well,
you know, he needed medical help again. The family said
he had to be locked up again. The judge said no.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yeah. They were already trying to lean on the mental
aspect of this, which cracks me up, or I should say,
aggrivas a living hell out of me, because when you
have an instance like this that the media loves because
it fits their narrative, one of their mandates is that
I don't want to hear about mental anguish or anything

(34:32):
of the sort because that will take it away from
their narrative. Yep, but now they can't. This whole thing
is upsetting the media. No end for what this took place?
What two three weeks ago? Yeah, it's like October or
August twenty second I want to say, is when the
killing took place that we're only hearing about it in

(34:53):
the last five or six days. The media doesn't want
to touch this because A doesn't involve guns. H B
black on white crime. Oops. See this happens right in
the middle of them declaring there's no need for Trump
to address crime. Crime is going down. Yeah, and we

(35:13):
have a murder right there on public transit and everywhere
they turn. They don't have an out because this contradicts
all of their preset narratives. And now they're coming out
and trying to turn this desperate. I've gotten a handful
of examples Brian Stelter, Politico, Axios. They're trying to push

(35:37):
this all off on conservatives and Donald Trump and Republicans. Yep.
Oh they're noticing this. Oh, they're politicizing it, and they're
making this into a different issue. Brian Stelter had the
balls to say that, Oh, I just it's so disgusting
to see the racism attached to this. I'm sorry, Brian,

(35:57):
It's just so happens that this entire murder took place
on camera and we can see it. Also, there's a
little small manner of hearing the individual on tape saying
I got that white girl. Yep, I got that white girl.
Sounds I don't know, kind of racist to me. How

(36:22):
dare we point this.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Out race only goes one way.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Sadly, this is just it, and the media has to
pretend like they don't play this game all the time
because if it's a white shooter with a gun, Holy hell,
all of the narratives just get spat out immediately. Guilt
is assessed, culpability is spread around well, the violent rhetoric

(36:51):
on the rights edition, Republican policies, and Fox News, and
everybody is lumped in as guilty. Yet here you have
a case of an individual with fourteen severe crimes on
his resume and they refuse to put him in jail.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
I think what I think what would break somebody, like political,
or axious or stelter is if the perpetrator were African
American the victim were African Americans or excuse me black
but Ukrainian. I think that would they I think they

(37:34):
would break. I think they would break because notice that,
you know, black on black crime seldom gets reported about.
You know, they never talk about it in the news
or anything. Why don't black crime gets reported a lot
any kind anytime that the you know, there's a there's

(37:54):
I don't I don't know. I don't remember what the
law was. But the longer they wait to tell you
the race of the perpetrator, the more likely it is
that he would he or she was a minority, you
know that kind of thing. Sometimes it's not that's that's
not it.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Admittedly, well that's the case right here, because they didn't
report on this. Well, this never got out into the
news until the security footage from the train got released
and then people are like, hold on a living damn
second here, And I'm for the last five days I've

(38:37):
been pointing this out. I go look at the contrast
the coverage between the Daniel Penny incident and this one
where you had a white individual from the military, gasp,
who killed a black man on a train. Racism and
this is the problem with the right and conservative Well,

(38:58):
it turned out he was trying to subdue an individual
who was assaulting people on that train and inadvertently he
took his I don't even know if he can say
it took his life. He was basically got him in
a choke hold on the ground until he calmed down,
and he was still god has been to a degree
when the authorities got there and he ended up dying later.

(39:20):
It's not like he killed him on the spot. Out
of revenge or something. It was something that happened and
played out as a result of the conflict. There was
no conflict in this killing. We see the girl get
on the bus, she sits on the seat in front
of the eventual murderer, and she's on her phone. No interaction,

(39:42):
there was no nothing provoked this and all of this
upsets the media. Like the political headline was that, oh,
there are people on the right are trying to drag
this into politics. It's like, no, you dipshit. We're trying
to drag the media into covering this because you want
to desperately to ignore it. And that's just how sad

(40:03):
and pathetic is Brian Stelter is tried. Oh so sickening,
just a cesspool of racism surrounding us. Shut the hell up, Brian,
I mean seriously, because.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Yes, but he's right, the racism surrounding this. He killed
a white woman. That's what he wanted to do based
on her race.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yes, that's what he Just to point this out, it's
racist to say I got the white girl. It's racist
to say that this is prototypical of the very thing
that they're trying to address by going into cities and
stopping this from happening. Well, this just fits right into
their narratives. In other words, they were correct, is what
you're saying. That's that's what's so pathetic about all of this.

(40:48):
And again, look at the media, is what was it
about three four weeks ago they had that shooting in
Brooklyn I think it was, and CNN comes out it's like, uh,
indications artists is probably a white shooter. And it took
about two minutes to see the guy was clearly ethnic
in nature. And look what you have, Like you said,

(41:13):
no more talk. If you don't, if you don't hear
reports about the individual, you know it's a minority. What
happens frequently though in that case and with the recent
school shooting in Minneapolis, they rush in it like, oh,
we got a school shooting, we gotta go and covered
as it's like it was a trans individual. Oh oops,
And then they're stuck. Then they have to go, well

(41:36):
for someone, we're not going to blame the trans community.
That's the last thing we're going to bring up. So
I don't want anybody to blame in the trans community.
And then the story, Look how quickly that dropped.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Oh yeah, they're not even talking about it anymore, because.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
The day of the shooting, blanket coverage and it looked
like this is going to be a main story for
a week, and then as soon as they were turned
out to be trans and it wasn't even questionable, we
had everything on video. Manifesto I hate Trump and want

(42:07):
to kill him is written on the gun. Well, let's see,
we can't blame the right, and we can't blame it
on white people. We can't do it. We're just gonna
drop it. Sad and pathetic and the same here now. Well, well,
don't blame it on mental anguish what they do. After
the Buffalo shooting at the grocery store a year or

(42:28):
so ago, they dictated you couldn't say mental or emotional problem. Nope,
it's a white man, racist guns guilty. Don't offset it
on anything else. It is just so stupid anymore. I mean,
it's like I saw Brian Stelter last night. I wanted

(42:48):
to just throat punch that little midget right right then
and there. I mean, it literally pissed me off, Like
I could I could tolerate his idiocy. I'm so used
to it. Like there he goes again, No, this time
it was like you pasthetic, little spud.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Of a s urchin.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
This is the media actively saying they don't want to
report on this when it needs to be because this
is look at all of the serious issues attached to this.
Why is this guy not incarcerated, Why is this guy
not getting treatment for the mental problems? Why are we
allowing this sort of thing to take place in the

(43:31):
city streets? And so oh, I can't believe Republicans want
to come in here and make the streets safer. How
dare they get credit for doing something good? Is basically
what you're saying. And so you want crime to take place,
you want to threaten the citizenry, You want this kind
of thing to keep going. I saw a CNN coming

(43:53):
out of Labor Day, was it Bring on a Keeler
was laughable. She's like, Okay, there were fifty five fifty
six shootings over the weekend and eight people did die.
But but seriously, she said this, but overall crime is down. Okay, Brianna,

(44:16):
Let's take a look at the crime stats that you're
trying to reference here. Twenty twenty three, it was something
like four hundred and twenty six gun homicides took place
in Chicago, and in twenty twenty four the number fell
to four hundred and four gun depths. Here's the thing.

(44:39):
The second highest gun depth city is like in the
mid to two hundreds. Like, no one's even close to
Chicago's totals. Oh, but they're coming down. Okay. That's like
saying somebody had a fever of one hundred and three
point five and it came down to one hundred and

(44:59):
two point nine.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
They still have the high. Exactly, it's still high.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
They don't need drugs, they don't need to go to
the hospital or see a doctor. Their temperatures coming down.
That's how stupid this is. And again, it's not like
one individual, it's across the board. Axios came out and said, hup,
there go those Republicans pouncing on a racial shooting again.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
They actually said that they were afraid that they this
would galvanize the MAGA movement. And I'm just like, I
are you not aware that a man just took a
young woman's life without provocation? How about we just talk
about the lack of rights that this woman now has

(45:54):
because somebody took them away, and nobody wants to step
that way.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
It's just it's so revealing. I mean, I've known about this,
I've covered this, you know, and I even talked about
it frequently, but it's just so damn revealing to me
to see them this married just so damn dedicated to
their narratives that they can't allow facts to come in.

(46:21):
They always have to massage. Oh well, this is only
gonna help their cause because they were accurate. Like that's
literally what they're trying to do. It's like, man Maga
was correct. How do we spend this not like, oh,

(46:41):
look at the facts, how about that? No, it's just
so sad and pathetic that they're at this point. I mean,
I know the media is bad, but holy hell, they're
not even trying, not even trying, And this is I
don't know, to me, this is almost another watershed moment.

(47:01):
Last year was watershed, but this is kind of approaching that.
Just the way they're behaving in Unison on this one
issue was amazing to me.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
I don't. I mean, sometimes I'm just like I despair
about the human condition. Faith in humanity is always crashing.
But you know, and some people had said, why didn't
anybody help her? You know, why did they just not
do something to stop him. Well, they couldn't have stopped him.

(47:34):
There was I mean, this was so fast and it
was such a surprise that there was. You couldn't have
done it, but at least you could have tackled him later,
you know, to keep him in one place, and nobody
did that. But as more video came out, the full
video came was released, and everything you did see that
there were some people who actually rushed to her aid
to see what they could do, and that was that

(47:58):
was heartening to see because I'm always afraid, you know,
the same thing with the lady that was set on
fire on the train. And I remember being on the
Metro there in DC and seeing one guy, you know,

(48:18):
just kick another person on purpose as he was leaving.
And the other person was actually an older gentleman. Gentleman
and you know, I mean at one age, you're like
I could I could bruise and the bruce be gone
within you know, a few hours. But when you're our age,

(48:40):
the bruce tends to stick around and it can cause issues.
And so it was concerning, uh when I saw that,
and I was very surprised, But luckily a few of
us went to see check him out, and one of
them happened to be a nurse, and and she she
said that she would walk him back to where he

(49:02):
was at and then catch metro for the rest of
the thing later. But you know it, things like that
just kind of freaked me out because it's you want
to have faith in humanity, but it is tested daily,
hourly even, And it amazes me that something as simple

(49:25):
as being kind to another human being is not even
being taught anymore. If that, if only that one little
thing we're taught, I think that would be a vast improvement.
We could start, you know, improving a lot. But it's
not being taught anymore. You know, I both know that

(49:46):
there is a you know, I've known several people of color,
several African Americans who grew up in the projects, grew
up in really poor areas, and when they managed to
get an education and start becoming successful, they left those

(50:07):
areas and they get criticized for it, but they're of
the opinion, no, I am not going to stick around
in an area where the thug culture thrives. I need
to do better than that. I want to do better
than that. I want to be productive in society and
I need to be away from it, you know. And

(50:31):
and there's a schism between, you know, in the African
American culture, between those who wish to do better, want
to succeed, want to improve the quality of life, and
others who embrace that culture of duggism. And you know,
it's a really sad break.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Well. I mean, there was another example of this media
avoidance where Scott MacFarlane from CBS News and yeah, I'm
gonna lay into this guy, but he did a story
about what's going on in DC and the crime and
the whole thing was about slamming the effort because well,

(51:12):
you know, all of these charges brought up in these
arrests are being tossed out, the courts are laughing these out.
They're overloading the court system with frivolous arrest and YadA, YadA, YadA.
Then he plays the press conference from Jeanine Piro, the
new DA of DC, you know, and she was talking

(51:33):
about I don't want to get involved with judges politicizing
his crap. And you know, there's McFarland dramatizing meanwhile, there's
twenty three hundred truce stations in DC. Oh my god.
And then he completely undercuts himself by saying most of

(51:54):
them don't carry guns, and they're not arresting anybody. That's
left to local law enforcement. So what's the scareic for?
What do we worry about? Scott? But here's the thing.
He completely avoids the fact that there was a murder
recently of a Capitol Hill in turn, and they just

(52:17):
arrested two of the people involved in that, seventeen year olds.
Scott McFarland knows about this. Why because Janine Piro said
it at the very same press conference that he played
video from, So he knew specifically that they had made
these arrests, and he, the Justice correspondent for CBS News,

(52:38):
didn't feel a need to report on that. Again, it
just completely undermines their narrative. So it's not Newsworth. I
can talk about judges saying, oh, we're going to toss
out all these arrests, but not the fact that they
just arrested two people who murdered an individual in Capitol Hill.

(53:02):
That's not news. It's so dampathetic. But I wrote about
Scott this afternoon. He had a scandalous breaking story from Florida,
of all places I did mention, and he's the justice
reporter for CBS out of Washington, DC. Correct, because he's

(53:26):
got this apparently important news story about a radio station
here in Florida, Fort Myers. It's on the West coast.
Country station has dubbed itself Trump Country, and they have
a picture of him in his suit wearing a stetson
is part of their ad campaign we will wear that.

(53:48):
This is a scandal because nobody else was and McFarlane's
going on they didn't have permission to use Donald Trump's
imagery like this, Okay, is there a story here, Scott?
Are we going anywhere with this? What the what?

Speaker 2 (54:09):
What?

Speaker 3 (54:11):
And he he's trying to build this into a controversy.
He says, I contacted the White House, they didn't even
want to comment on this, and then he contacted the
Democrat Party of Florida and they were like mah. And
he is trying to say, oh my god, can you
believe what they're doing? But I think what really aggravated

(54:32):
him the most is the fact that since they began
this ad campaign in March and nobody complained about it's
got their ratings have like tripled in the last seven months,
So I kind of think it's working.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
For well tanks to be.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
So. So Scott seems to be the only one bothered
by this. I just thought that have to be hilarious.
O my god, can you believe this? I'm contacting the
White House. You're like, yeah, we really don't care. Is that?
Is that a good enough quote for you? Who gives

(55:08):
a crap? Why are you reporting on this? I mean,
which one of these do you want to run? What's got?
I'll just go with no comment, thank you. It's just, uh,
it's laughable. I love what's taking place because it's just
so damn stupid, all of it.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Well, that's not the only major thing that happened, but
at least luckily in this one, it wasn't a murder.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
True.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
Oh so what else was a major in your estimation?

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Well, I think the happenings in Georgia at a certain
Hyundai plant where interesting. That was an interesting development, shall
I say?

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Oh my god? Those eighteful ice agents.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
I am just a dog with the amount of illegals
they managed to round up just at that one location.
Because it defies odds, it really does. You don't expect
to find most of the employees there to be illegal.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Mm hm.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Nearly the Korean company flew them in using b one
visus and yeah, not a not a good look for Hyundai,
not a good look for Georgia, and certainly not a
good look for the Biden administration who approved the whole
thing because the deal was they were going to subsidize

(56:43):
this new you know, factory to build Hyundai's there in
Georgia that were given a lot of benefits, a lot
of tax incentives. Over two billion was given by the
Biden administration to help create jobs for Americans, and yet
there were four hundred and seventy five Koreans working in there.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
Yeah, they shipped in a significant portion of their workforce effectively.
So again, yeah, that's exactly where my head was going.
It's like they always tout these factories going up as
oh man, it's fantastic for American jobs, and then what
do they do they import all these workers. So I mean,

(57:27):
I've got all kinds of questions, one of them being
when they do this, do the four workers count towards
jobs created? That the administration will always brag about, like
how do those jobs get counted and tallied on the
federal roles? Because you're you make it sound like, oh man,

(57:50):
we just added a slew of brand new jobs in
the Georgia area. But if you're airlifting people in to
fill those jobs, you know you're not. So that's where
my head's at. But yeah, and how do they get
away with this being it will happen, and that you
buy an administration? Like you said, I think that explains

(58:10):
quite a bit right there as far as immigration status.
But yeah, I'm now I'm going to be interested to
see how this is going to affect plant operations when
you have that many people pulled out of the factory
this quickly.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Yeah, somebody suggested, well, why don't those people teach Americans
to work in, you know, the autotive industry, And I'm like,
you don't need four hundred and seventy five teachers. You
need maybe one or maybe five, depending on the section
you're going to be on. But guess what, all of
this stuff can be taught by Americans too, because most cars,

(58:48):
you know, assembly lines tend to be pretty much the same.
But I just I can't. I don't understand where we
were paying for illegals to work there. That was our money.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
Yeah, that's exactly it is. You incentified this company to
build in America for American jobs and what do they
do bring in everybody? So that's contraindicated right there.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
It's just it blew my mind when I found out
I accept it. Maybe forty forty seven, no, ten times
that much. It's like what, how?

Speaker 3 (59:36):
Yes, where did benefit come from? That's where my head's at.
I'm in a curious point. But okay, but this is
another flawed immigration program, you can say.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
And it really irks me because it was sold as
being something that would help with a American jobs. And
I can say that. When they built a Titan factory
they're in San Antonio. I took girl scouts to tour
it and it was amazing. It was really cool to

(01:00:15):
walk through there is I've never seen a place so
spick and span clean, but it is a Japanese manufacturer.
Everything was neat and it's every single square inch of
that place was used. They were extremely efficient. One of
the things that I learned was when you get a

(01:00:36):
job there, you do not start at the assembly line.
You come in and you start training. So for six
weeks they have you, you know, doing weightlifting, they are
doing cardio, doing leg exercises, strengthening your back. You're walking
around the whole plant, which is about I want, it's

(01:00:58):
a half a mile all the way around. You're doing
all this stuff to prepare you for when you get
on the assembly line, which I found really interesting that
they do that. I guess since Hyundai brought in all
the Koreans, they were already trained to do that, so
they didn't have to do it. But the you know,

(01:01:22):
the people that were working there. I saw two people
of Asian descent working at that plant, and neither one
was in a position of super in a supervisory position.
They were on the assembly line, and when the girls
had questions on the assembly line, they would actually answer,

(01:01:46):
you know, as quickly as possible so that they keep
working and everything. It was amazing to see that there
were some people there that were so meticulous and taking
good care and everything. And one of the girls actually asked,
you know, how they learned to do that, and he said, well,
they taught me how to do it. And I think

(01:02:10):
the method is, you know, you're told and then you
watch and then you do, and that's how they were taught,
you know, how to do their particular jobs. And so
even though it's a rope job, it was still very
satisfying to watch, and I could tell those people there
were very fit, and they were not tired or exhausted.

(01:02:31):
They were very peppy, and they were really cool. I
can only imagine that's the way it was in the
Hyundai plant because they have pretty much the same work
ethic as they do in Japan. But again, we were
told that this was going to be something for American people.

(01:02:53):
I may have let it go if it had been
five or six Korean illegals who were supervisory positions that
they have brought in and overstate their visas or whatever
I might I might have been okay with that because
that does happen, and they were there to actually make
sure that the plant was in full operational mode, you know,

(01:03:17):
that kind of thing. But that's not what happened here,
is it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
You know, this is a pretty damn big sweep that
they made. Dude, I mean, this is on par with
what we saw. What was that at the meatpacking plant
in Nebraska. I think it was where they bagged one
hundred maybe a little different in that it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Kansas with the chickens. I'm not sure. I don't remember,
but yeah, it was somewhere in the I would.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Say it was a meat cuttering, a butchering plant, something
of that nature. But you know it's oh man, it's
gonna have to shut down. They will never replace this.
And like within days the place was flooded with job applications,
like everybody wanted to work there. So that again is
another narrative buster, isn't it, Oh, Americans won't do this work. Well,

(01:04:08):
look what happened when you free up the jobs people.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Americans weren't given the opportunity. Yeah, and that's and that's
another problem there are You know, I was in a
discussion earlier and there was somebody that was very pro welfare.
They said, you know, people do need help, and you know,
I can't stress enough how much welfare helps. And I said, well, yes,

(01:04:33):
but it is constantly abused. And you know, he asked me,
how do you know that. I was like, because I
saw it firsthand with my aunt, and I saw it
firsthand with my cousin, and I see it firsthand with
her kids. And they just looked at me. It's like,
oh really for real? I was like, oh yeah, And

(01:04:53):
I started telling them all about it and everything, and
but there, you know, that's just one side of the coin.
There's My dad was on welfare when he first got here,
but he worked really hard. He worked extra shifts so
that he could get off of welfare, and he did
it within a year. And there was you and I
remember when welfare reform was a thing. People started going

(01:05:15):
back into the into the workforce, yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (01:05:22):
Take place.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
Yes, And everything was going great until the Democrats reversed that. So,
you know, we'll see what happens with the I I'm
wondering if Honday's going to get sanctioned or if Something's
going to happen because of this.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
It's it's going to be curious. But they could fall
back and simply say, hey, the government told us we
could do this, and if that's the case, then you're
kind of stuck, right. It's like, hey, it's not our fault.
The previous president was incompetent, got us there but forced

(01:06:07):
segue here. Speaking of incompetence, did you see Greta Thunberg
has another boating snapho take place.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Yeah, I'm just this girl.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
She is involved in another flotilla to I guess supposedly
maybe go to Gaza and fix stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
My understanding is that she wants to go to Gaza
and confront Israelis that are you know, doing a blockade
of the food and aid that is there on waiting

(01:06:54):
to be given to Gaza. I don't think she fully
understands that Israel has been wanting to get rid of
the aid and give it to the Gosins, but they're
not permitted to do so by the people in Gaza.
So and you notice, yes, I do call them gosins.

(01:07:14):
But she is now living a dream that she's actually
going to achieve something. And you'll notice she's not doing
anything about climate change anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
That apparently we fixed it, so we're done. Climate's good now.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
Well, somebody did ask, if the science is settled when
it comes to climate change, why are we still researching it?
Why are we still paying for research grants? Why is
money going into that? If the science is settled, shouldn't
we be using that money too? I don't know, build

(01:07:52):
you know, the the whatever it was? What was it called?
Dutch boy? Ah? You see what I did? Right? Yeah?
So why not why are we using the money for
research when the size is settled? And nobody can answer
that question?

Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
Oops, And as if we've come to know almost all
the time the settled science is completely unsettled. We talked
about it a few weeks ago. Here NASA has declared
that we're all gonna die because we're gonna run out
of oxygen because the atmosphere is going to lose CO
two and the oxygen will escape, so we need more

(01:08:30):
Z two in order to survive. It's like, I'm sorry,
I've got questions time out here, backing up mister science
denire that I am following the NASA scientific data and
there we go. Gotta change that narrative pretty damn soon,
don't they. But so here's what happened. This is what

(01:08:52):
her second Yes, Yeah, to get into Gaza and for
the second time they've come under fire bomb attack because
back in May they close. Happened again and this time
we have video. I don't know if too many drones

(01:09:13):
that just drop fireworks. Yeah, the again, if it's like
a fixed security camera or something on board. But you
see guys looking up in the sky and oh no,
oh my, it's coming, and then there's like a bright

(01:09:35):
flash and apparently the deck of the boat got hit
with something. We've been hit, We've been hitting. All this nonsense.
They're trying to blame anybody for a drone attack, except
the local government where they're out it like, yeah, we
don't have drones and we don't have any record of

(01:09:55):
drones in the area. And then they start around. Then
they said, well, wait, it must be Israel. That's an
Israel attacked us with one of the air drums at
fire bob DUTs, and Israel is basically saying, I'm sorry,
who the hell are you again? What like Israel just

(01:10:17):
randomly goes around firebombing boats. You know, look at that
boat out there, rut that boat. I'm gonna go firebomb
that boat. Now I understand, nothing really severe happened. Nobody died,
The boat is still floating and going along. And there's
a big suspicion now that what happened was they shot
a flare in the air and it came back down

(01:10:38):
on the boat.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
Well, okay, first question, why would they shoot the flare?

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
There's so much about this that's not clear. Okay, but again,
this is the second time the first flotilla claimed this
sort of thing happened, and people are just like, what,
who did you know? One guy's on camera saying, I
looked up it was like three or four meters above
us and a firebombs. Everyone else is like, well do

(01:11:12):
you have what? No? How huh not? And you know,
I saw somebody say that flares don't come in on
a forty five gri angle, and it's like, yeah, neither
did the one on cameras. It's coming straight down, you
see it. And again, I want to know what military

(01:11:33):
attacks you with something that does no damage.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
I'm trying to figure that out too. And but if
indeed it was a flare, I want to know why
they fired it. Normally you fire a flare for what reason,
You're in distress or you need to let people know
where you're at, especially if it's in the dark of night.

(01:12:00):
So I'm wondering why it was fired in the first place,
or was it fired in order to promote this drone idea.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Well, that's kind of susspected because there's I did see
one freeze frame and they think one of the guys
that was in panic boat on the boat had a
you could see a flare gun in his hand. It's
pretty sketchy still, but nonetheless it's like, seriously, who attacks

(01:12:32):
a boat with something that does nothing? That's my question.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
Oh, clearly this country talked to us.

Speaker 3 (01:12:40):
With what and fire works? What you how exactly were
you attacked? If nothing happened. I just don't know of
any military exercise that involves that. It's like, oh, we
got them, what happened nothing? So that right there causes

(01:13:06):
me to ask questions. But I'm still trying to figure
out what they're trying to accomplish. What does Greta in
her do gooders have as far as a game plan here,
like they're gonna show up? Oh my god, I didn't
know Greta Thunberg was coming. That's you know that. I'm

(01:13:28):
still amazed that this girl makes news because she hasn't
made any progress anywhere that I can see.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
I don't think she's ever achieved anything except be a grifter.
The only grifter I know that's better at it than
she is is Colin Kaepernick. But that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
I mean, it was. It was kind of amazing when
she was hauled out in the United Nations. You know,
she's the voice of authority on climate really, so we
have a global network of scientists working on this, but
the foremost authority on climate change is a seventeen year
old autistic girl. Color me skeptical, but I might again

(01:14:14):
want to follow the science. I e. A scientist. How
about that, people that say I'm a science deniers trotting
out an expert who's not a science Okay, I have
a problem with your argument. This is just where we're at.
But conflict seems to be ruling today. Did you happen

(01:14:37):
to catch a baseball game down here in Miami Friday night?

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Oh? I caught a little bit of it on social
media that I.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
Saw a home run take place. In the aftermath, Oh
my god, this was just beautiful distraction throughout the weekend.
A Philadelphia fan basically behaved exactly like a Philadelphia fan
started raging at another Philadelphia fan in Miami.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
I know they were playing the Marlins.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
Right, home run got hit, goes in scramble for the
ball took place as expected. Now, there's rules when it
comes to this sort of thing, and it's basically first
to the ball gets to keep the ball. Now, if
you yank it out of somebody's hand, okay, problem, Yeah,

(01:15:39):
you've crossed the line. But if you get to it first,
hey you won Farren squares where it goes. Some guy
did some female Karen and seriously, she is the epitome
of a Karen, severe haircut, large glasses, and a whole
shit ton of attitude. She started barking because she felt

(01:16:03):
entitled to the home run ball that this guy got.
Now he people have said, oh, he came over like
a whole shutin. He was like ten chairs, Okay, he
saw it coming. The guy reached over, he got it,
comes right over and the first thing he did his
hands it to his son. Looks like he's about ten
years old. Well, this woman comes up right in his
face and she is just barking like a Yorky with

(01:16:25):
its tail in a mousetrap. That's my ball and you
stole it, Internet, And the guy is just like, you
know what. Finally he just takes the ball from his son.
He's like, here, go blow do whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Amazing to me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
And everybody caught this, of course on camera on their phones,
and this woman became an internet meme instantly. It was
glorious to.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Watch the one with the dog in the frisbee. That
was great.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
Loved that one. Yes, they picture of her jumping in
the air with a frisbee in her mouth, with a
Golden Retriever also in the air looking at her like,
what the hell the dog's expression was priceless.

Speaker 4 (01:17:07):
Did either of you happen to see the clip from
the Banana Savannah Bananas?

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Yes? I did it, Yes, perfect, it was great.

Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
I missed this.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Oh you have to go look that up. It was great.
You cannot miss it. It's all over. You know how
the Savannah Bananas are. I mean they're awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:17:33):
I love them. What was it you said that somebody
had come up with a name for this woman.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
Oh yeah, Cruella the phil.

Speaker 3 (01:17:44):
That is just gold right there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
Sorry, I lost it when I read that. I was like,
that is so perfect.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
And I mean people were, you know, they were saying,
the game is still going on, and people were like,
we got to identify this woman. And then people began
to shop Liz Warren's face on this woman, which was perfect,
pretty much a sideways move honestly looked almost yeah, and

(01:18:12):
to a degree. I mean, you know, like people are
trying to hunt this woman down, get her fired for
a winner life. You don't have to go that far.
I just think the meming alone is shaming this woman
in perfect fashion. But it's.

Speaker 1 (01:18:26):
Somebody made the comment about it. I thought we weren't
supposed to, you know, do any cancel culture you know
here on the riot and blah blah blah, And well,
there's a difference between cancel culture for your political opinion
online on a tweet you made, and cancel culture for
being a rude bitch and making everybody else miserable on

(01:18:49):
life TV. There's a complete stark difference between the two.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
This is anti social behavior taking place. Yes, I mean, honestly,
I'm of the opinions, know, shame the woman just you know,
go ahead and make fun of her incessantly because she
was just I mean the embodiment of the term Karen,
I mean, top about them looks, behavior, attitude.

Speaker 1 (01:19:16):
Lack of apology.

Speaker 3 (01:19:18):
And during the game, like I saw one video was
taking place like five minutes after this interchange, and everybody's
booing her and stuff, and she's turning around and flipping
them the bird. And yeah, it was just I mean,
absolute refusal to acknowledge your own actions. It was hilarious
and just as an aside, now, it turned out that

(01:19:40):
the young boy it was his birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
The first step was the Marlins. They brought people up
in the stands and they were like, hey, look, you know,
we saw what happened, and they gave him a gift back,
just loaded with stuff, probably Marlin's here. I'm not sure
how good that was. But then they even arranged cool it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Was cool to have swag from the Fall team.

Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
I mean, they you know, they did the right thing.
But then they also arranged for the player that hit
the home run to meet them down in the tunnels
after the game, gave the kid a sign bat. I
mean he totally came out on top Light Night.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
Oh yeah he did. He did. Oh and some entrepreneurs
actually gifting them both take us to the World Series
and an RV. Holy yes, I was like, what.

Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
Karen lives and I'm going to piss her off on terror.
I mean, I'm pretty sure I could set somebody off
like that pretty easily.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
But yeah, she was. She was just horrendous. And I'm
I'm you know, a lot of like I said, a
lot of people were complaining, you know, we're doing cancel
cult choice and you don't understand we need to do
this kind of cancel culture because you don't want to
encourage this behavior. There's the thing as human decency and

(01:21:02):
good manners, and encouraging this behavior takes away from that.
So yeah, I'm okay with canceling.

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
Taking corrective action exactly. But it's uh, it was good
to see it was. It was a nice U, nice
ending to a U. I just cracked up. It's like,
of course he's a Philly fan. That was the first
thing that came out of my head. It was like,
uh wow, but there we go. Well, got some dire

(01:21:34):
news here.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
I think we're all gonna die, yes, because the Chinese
are doing it again.

Speaker 3 (01:21:42):
Well done, China. A new bacteria has been discovered in
and of itself, not necessarily alarming news, but the details are.
This new species was found on the Chinese space station,

(01:22:03):
a completely new form of bacteria. So it's called I
can't even pronounce the name because I don't do Latin.
You might need to help me here, but tiong Gung insists.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
Tiang kiang Gung is the name of the space the
space station. Yeah, this is the story we need you on.
You're you're our go to guy with this kind of crap,
and I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:22:36):
Like, oh, I gotta do this. It's mandatory and it
applies here.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
Yeah, talking about a bacterium that was discovered on board
the space station, well adapted to conditions in space. This
thing has a lot of curious properties about being a
well adapted organism for existence out there. Has the ability

(01:23:14):
to hydrolyze gelatin, which can break down protein into smaller
components in a unique way. This is allowing the protein
to be consumed for survival in a nutrient poor environment.
And in addition to that, the bacteria are able to
form a protective biofilm, activate oxidative stress responses, and promote

(01:23:39):
repair in the face of radiation damage. So this is
also a way for them to create spores. The spores
also have a hard cellular makeup to help that survive
and propagate.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
Okay, we talked about this, and I told you I've
seen this movie. I hated it because everybody dies.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
So here's the disturbing aspect of this. It's a completely
brand new species of bacteria they discovered in space. So
what is China do froze it and sent the samples
back down to Earth? You chy com dipshits.

Speaker 4 (01:24:27):
Yeah, absolutely can be weaponized.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
And I'm like, you know, we've been through this. I'm
telling you and I said this when this happened. COVID
nineteen was a trial run. It was completely a trial run.
And now We're getting microbes from the space station that
are not found on Earth and we're bringing them back.

(01:24:51):
Did no one see that stupid movie life? This is
not right.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
Here's the crazy thing. I'm gonna go a little bit
lost wonder slash juxtaposition here. Think about twenty three and meters.
If you have everything that Brad mentioned about this and
can train it to certain DNAs, game over.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Freaking fastic.

Speaker 3 (01:25:17):
I mean, this is the part that gets me is
they think the discovery of this could provide a better
understanding on microscopic hazards for the next generation of space travel.
And you know how they can face any of these
kind of challenges regarding sanitation protocols and such. What about

(01:25:38):
on Earth, your dumbasses.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
You brought here?

Speaker 3 (01:25:43):
I mean, what the hell you have a space station
tested out there. It's sort of damn thing originated in
the first place, but it's us.

Speaker 4 (01:25:58):
Let the space stations are built for science and testing.
Don't bring that crap back down.

Speaker 1 (01:26:04):
I mean, this should have stayed there.

Speaker 3 (01:26:07):
This is a whole other space born species that they discovered.
Great study it in space where it came from idiots jeeze.
But again, these are the people that propagated COVID nineteen
on the planet.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
Par for the course.

Speaker 1 (01:26:30):
It's amazing to me that it's almost you know, it
wasn't that long. Wait when did Jurassic Park come out?
The first movie?

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
About twenty five years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
Yeah, and the line that Malcolm always says, just because
you can doesn't mean you should. It's almost like nobody's
paying attention to this anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
It's almost like a theme on our show here we've
mentioned that's been free.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
M said this was the space Wet Market.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
Yep, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:27:12):
Yeah, that was I just I couldn't believe that. Anyway,
we are at the top of the hour, so I
guess we should like wrap up because man Arama is coming.
I'm back. So where where can we find you?

Speaker 3 (01:27:28):
Well, I'm available on a daily basis over at town
hall dot com. I've got a media column there called
Rift from the Headlines. I'm also on the front page
of Red State on the regular where I've got a
twice weekly podcast that's called Liable Sources, where I go
even further into the swamp land of our press complex.
But you can hear more of me also on this network.

(01:27:50):
Thursday night, I'm going to be here with Paul Young
from Screen Ran because he and I walk you through
the minefield and dark alleyways of Hollywood and bad movies
on just Asters in the Making Alternate Thursdays, it's me
and Orty Packard as we bring you the vital entertainment
information on the culture shift and of course every Tuesday
