Speaker 1 (00:02):
Ah, when did we all get this dump? Almost only
counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear warfare. I don't
see anybodies, so it doesn't count. I'm I'm the chef.
I want to hear one thing, Yes, chef, come on, man,
(00:22):
here's your brain The Why I'm Angry podcast start now.
All right, guys, I thought i'd get on here. We're
not going to do a full on live broadcast tonight.
It's a little bit early here. I actually have NFL
(00:44):
Fantasy Football Draft tonight. So it's the season, best time,
best day of the season. Uh, you get your get
to hang out a lot of times. It's live with
friends and draft some players. No one's lost anything yet,
no one's gained anything yet, and you know, at this
(01:08):
point I could be the champion. So yeah, definitely definitely
wanted to get on here though and talk to you guys.
Obviously it's the chef here in the Freestyle Man Cave Studio,
and just wanted to get on and kind of cover
(01:28):
a few things here. And one of those things is
I was looking over the articles, the headlines going through
over the week here and Telegram. The founder and CEO,
Pavel Durov was arrested on Saturday at France's Berget Airport
(01:56):
in Paris. He so basically the the reason that this
is important. Telegram is one of the largest world's most
popular social media apps. And that's you know, honestly, obviously,
it's it's behind meta you know, the Facebook app, the Instagram,
(02:17):
What's app, YouTube, TikTok, we chat, you know, all that
kind of stuff. But it is one of one of
the you know, probably one of the top ten social
media apps. And he was arrested and the reason he
was arrested was that he didn't have enough overwatch on
(02:45):
his on his app. So the app is popular among journalists, activists,
dissidents and dissidents, but has also been used by extremist
groups and people involved in drug trafficking and distribution of
(03:08):
child sex abuse and images or sex abuse images and
so and so we uh, you know, we was just
looking at this and you know this this is kind
of one of those big big things is that you know,
if you're you know, we've talked about the state of
(03:34):
security and the overreaching uh surveillance community coming on and
things like that, and you know, just if you're if
you're if you're looking at this, UH, this can start
to get kind of scary because you know, yes, you
(03:54):
want to stop extremist groups like drug traffickers, sex abuse,
child child endangerment, child sexual abuse images, you know, any
kind of any of that kind of stuff. At the
same time, you want to be able to say the
(04:19):
things that also make political people upset. And so if
if he's breaking some kind of law with the you know,
without with allowing you know, child abuse images and things
of that nature, then you know, okay. But if it's
(04:45):
just the fact that he has a lack of content moderation.
I also saw that the European Union sent Facebook a
strongly written letter about their moderation, about the fact that
they're allowing people who may speak out about you know,
(05:08):
may insight violence or dissidence and and that kind of thing,
and that you know that they may be shut down
or they may face criminal activity, criminal prosecution for their activity.
(05:29):
The the UH owner, the CEO of Rumble has also
UH just basically just said that they were leaving Europe.
They had fled Europe to h to make sure that
he wasn't getting arrested. Because Rumble is also one that
(05:50):
allows more of the free speech aspect. I'm not sure
whether they you know, you can uh, you know, drug
trafficking and things like that have been prevalent on it.
But you know, I know that they they they are
more for the free speech and stuff like that we
(06:12):
have obviously right now or on rumbles, so you know,
we stand with Rumble on on being free free speech,
not not you know, moderating the content as much as
censoring the content. I know of a one of one
(06:33):
of my favorite bands, demon Hunter, was on Instagram or
on Facebook basically posting that they had been They've been
shut down on Instagram. They had gotten a notice saying
that they were going to be shut down for good.
Yeah if they didn't you know, go through the process
of of appeals because they were associated with an account
(07:04):
that had violated their rules and responsibilities clause. And so
I think I think with that, I I didn't and
I know that they're back up and running and stuff
like that. But the one thing with that is is
(07:25):
like we had an issue on our side of things
and on Instagram, and I'm not sure that we've ever
gotten back up and running on Instagram as the yam
Anger podcast, but I know that with that we got
we we got actually hacked, and the hacker before we've
(07:45):
noticed it, because we don't post every day, posted three
or four spam messages and stuff like that changed the
change some some of the backgrounds that you know, change
some of the ore quotes or whatever quote a changed
a description of us and that kind of thing. And
(08:07):
so we got actually shut down on it. And then
I went back to like appeal and all of that,
and I'm not sure that that ever, you know, I
just so I don't even I don't even deal with
Instagram on the ym Anger podcast now, Facebook, Rumble, Twitch, Twitch,
(08:30):
all of those kind of deals. And then we're so
so with that. We also have gotten hit on Facebook
and that for our disinformation or are are things of
that nature, and so we're you know, this is this
(08:51):
is one of those things that's just really getting you,
you know, kind of kind of worried a little bit
about censorship and things like that. It's one thing too
to say that you know, images of children and and
you know sex trafficking and drug and drug trafficking is
(09:12):
is illegal and you take those images down. But then
as you go farther into it, you know, some of
these countries have have put together pretty strict hate speech laws,
and with those laws being in place, you know, that
leaves it up to interpretation of what it's hate speech.
(09:36):
Is it something that you disagree with, is it something
that offends you, and that kind of thing. So it's
one of those things that we you know, we're trying
to watch and see where where these things come to.
But you know, it says that that Telegram has nearly
(10:01):
a billion users, that users can send encrypted messages in
groups of up to two hundred thousand people. The app
is popular among journalists, an activists, and dissonance because of
that because they you know, they can send private messages,
encrypted messages, they can't be seen by the rest of
(10:21):
the network. And so that's you know, that's I guess why.
I mean, I haven't done a whole lot with Telegram yet,
but you know they've been on our on our on
our list, I guess, or on our on our view
(10:43):
to kind of to look into and things. So with that,
there's also we find the the article here, so on
on on kind of on that subject, there's also uh
(11:03):
Google has allowed uh some users to generate images of people. Again,
they had a scandal where there were some historically inaccurate
scenes depicted with their use. There's also some incorrect racial depictions.
(11:25):
So they were you know, creating people in different colors
and stuff like that, and so they pulled it down
because it could be offensive to whoever solid and all that. Really,
the the issue is is if your AI can create
a photo that looks so much like a person, and
(11:50):
not just random person, but so much like people, celebrities
or or anything else that you can't tell the difference,
then there's you know, there's the potential of of that
(12:12):
being used in a way that is not legal or
is misleading, I guess at least. And so at that
same point, the question is why do we make that?
If you if you you know, it's not you know,
(12:35):
it's not a you know, okay, why not or whatever.
But some of these AI things are becoming it's so
easy to create something that you didn't really create, that
you allowed a computer to create. And and part of
that is, you know, back back when I was learning
(12:58):
the you know, did art or digital design, you know,
you still had to you still had to make your
own items. You still had to make your own vectors,
or you still had to you know, create your own
sort you know, you know, the the computer program, maybe
he would create you a circle, but then you had
to turn that circle into whatever design that you were
(13:21):
that you were trying to design. But now some of
these AI things are I mean, they're creating the whole
thing for you. You know, even with backgrounds and stuff that
I've created. You know, there are there are backgrounds that
you know, I've just been playing around with AI and
just completely created the background of of something, whether it
(13:45):
was like just you know, you know, pertaining to a
background for the church or something like that, and just
completely created it with AI. And honestly, it doesn't is
not a quicker way to do it. It's just sometimes
it can be more accurate to what you're actually creating
(14:09):
and you just have to, you know, eventually get to
the right words or the right you know, variation I
guess of what you're doing for for your vision. So
so that you know, they just kind of begs the
question of of why are why are we doing it?
(14:35):
Along with the the last the article before about about
censorship and and things of that nature, where we're you know,
are our censors ship is becoming less on the fact
of you did something wrong and more on the fact
of you offended somebody, which is you know, part of
(14:59):
you know, when we were kids and you got into
you know, being sensitive in the workplace and and harassment.
That also the the the key phrase back then was uh,
you know, was just you know, if if it offends somebody,
(15:20):
then it's harassment. And so I think we've gotten to
that point where it's the same thing, you know, censorship
based on on if it offends somebody, it's it's no
longer it's no longer okay. And so you know, we
were talking a little bit about the you know, comedy
(15:40):
and how you know, we got we got censored over
a comical meme and that, you know, because somebody acted
like they fact checked a meme. I mean, come on,
so uh in in a turn of events though on
(16:03):
this companies have decided to stop being so political. So
we were talking, you know, we talked about how Dee
and I diversity inclusion and and all has uh has
really kind of kind of played its course a little
(16:24):
bit in some of the businesses, and some of the
businesses are are deciding to step away from things that
can be controversy, controversial or political because they're they're seeing
the backlash they're seeing. You know, bud Light, I mean
it took a dive. It was the undisputed champion of
(16:46):
beers among all around the world in things, and then
all of a sudden it uh you know, there was
a boycott and and it quickly plummeted and plummeted and
dropped and dropped. I'm not sure where it's at now,
(17:10):
but it it lost this position. And so companies are
seeing that, they're seeing the backlash that they that you
see between companies who are who have become political and
and that, and they're companies that are there to create
(17:32):
a profit for their employees, create a product for people.
And some of these companies are are are product Are
they sell products? They're they're not they're not actually creating
a product. But and and in that anytime you don't
(17:54):
create the product and you just sell the product. There
are other supply chains people could go to, other places
that they could go to to get their products and
things like that. So you're seeing companies like Tractor Supply
or John Deere. The biggest one UH in the last
week has been lows Low's decided to shut down as
(18:17):
d E and I section of the company and they
have decided to no longer be a part of the
uh you know, pride movements or you know, parades or
days or whatever. And then they're they're also uh no
(18:37):
longer filling out the l g b T surveys and
things for for customer, for their employees and that which
you know. Then then uh, they're also uh with that.
(18:58):
You would think then that you know, pronouns and things.
You know, obviously, if you're a nice person, you can
use pronouns and and whatever if if that person, but
you know, at the same time, you know, there should
be able to be some level of assumption without you
(19:19):
being without your head being bit off or things like that.
I mean, maybe somebody you know, maybe if if you
don't feel like your pronouns should be he and him
and you look like a he him, then you should
have the understanding that you know, because you're not you know,
the standard, then maybe maybe you should have some kind
(19:43):
of grace at least as as Christians that you know,
we try to follow some bit of grace and allow
allow people to have, you know, some some semblance of
their their differences or whatever without you know, starting off combat.
(20:06):
If it's been tougher lately because everybody seems like they
want to be combative, and uh, you know, some days,
I'm your huckleberry. I'm gonna be the one that say
that takes up the fight against you. And uh, you
know that's not that's not great. It's probably not as
(20:26):
biblical and Christian as I would someday hope sometime, hopefully
hope it to be. But there are days that you know, again,
I go all up in my feelings just like everybody else,
and uh, you know, I'll take that fight. So yeah,
Lo's is now now part of that growing group John
(20:49):
Deere and just different companies that have decided that you know, honestly,
it's it's more trouble than it's worth. And you know,
if you get a bad social score, who cares? Like? Who? Like?
Are we really going to hold you know? Is is
(21:11):
the the left really going to hold them to the
fire on that? Or once they need their hot Cheetos
or whatever, are they going to just cave and get
their hot Cheetos. I know that there's been a few
times where I felt strongly against the company and eventually
six seven months down the road, you know, I needed
(21:34):
something that that company provided and you know sometimes I've
caved and gone back to that company. So that uh,
you know, and that that just it depends on your
on your convictions on it. I mean sometimes that that's
(21:57):
that's the thing. So the space station that there's stuff
that these two astronauts are stuck at. They went up
there to do some work on it. We're supposed to
come back like a day or two later. Now they're
going to uh you know in June. Oh, it was
(22:20):
supposed to be an eight day mission, but they experienced
helium helium link and malfunctioning thrusters and felt like that
if they sent them back they wouldn't make it. So
they they sent them back or they sent it back
(22:43):
without without getting without them in it. So they're sitting
on a on a space station not built completely for
them to stay on, and uh, you know, they've got
some food, I guess, but you know, it's just roughly
the size of a five bedroom house. It can accumulate
(23:07):
accommodate six crew members plus some visitors. Nine are currently
aboard the facility, I guess. But yeah, it doesn't look
like they're going to be coming back until January February
(23:28):
of next year. They it sounded like SpaceX was going
to or SpaceX or the Elon Musk group was going
(23:49):
to be able to come it was going to come
up and get them, but they had to but they
weren't ready for with the new rocket until February. So
but then, you know, then it was a Boeing rocket
that went up there. So you know, you never know,
you know what kind of safety measures or maintenance measures
(24:13):
they've gone through over the last you know time. So
we just had had raids in the West Bank. Israel
is starting to continue their search of Hamas into the
(24:35):
West Bank. They've also had heightened violence there obviously with
the Palestinian population in the West Bank and then also
Israeli a prop population also there. That obviously creates a
(24:57):
level of tension and hostile ability. There was a rocket
attack that was knocked down from Israel. Has Bee Lah
in Lebanon shot rockets into Israel. Israel's air defense is
pretty good, saying that we designed it and they uh
(25:21):
so they did it, stopped the the rockets coming in
and uh you know, so they they struck back, killed
another has a major HEAs belaw leader. So that you know,
that's made tensions even more so, there was one other
(25:49):
thing here that I was going to go over. The
houthis aren't finally allowing some some tugboats to reach the
Greek oil tanker that they that they basically caught on fire.
(26:13):
It's been a million barrels of crude oil ablaze in
the Red Sea. US Defense Department says the tanker attacked
by Houthy rebels over the Weekland weekend is likely leaking
oil and that just you know, that just exacerbates things.
But at least finally it puts a spotlight on what
(26:37):
they're doing that they're not, you know, that they're attacking ships,
they're attacking American ships. They've been attacking American military, American freighters,
and now this Greek oil ship. Hopefully someone then can
get on, you know, decides that this is a serious
(26:57):
a deal and actually starts to defend our properties and
defend our things, because you know, we even talked about
a couple of weeks back that there's like some sixty
seven bases in the Middle East that are just sitting
targets for attacks and things, and they have been attacked
(27:19):
on a regular basis. They're undermanned, they're understaffed, and you know,
they're they're being attacked without the equipment that they need,
without the ability to defend themselves properly. So so the
(27:44):
FBI reported the shooter at the Trump rally had researched
campaign schedules of both former President Donald Trump and Joe
Biden saw the Pennsylvania rally as a target for of opportunity.
So they're trying to they're trying to downplay it that
it wasn't it wasn't based on just Trump. It was
(28:07):
you know, he just wanted to get his name out there.
It wasn't. It wasn't targeting Trump. It was targeting a
high profile person, so you know, lesson less in the
actual you know, worry about who it was actually supposed
to to be about. Kind of along the same lines
(28:33):
as the UH as the censoring in that we've got.
I got an article here that says California Democrats are
hoping to pass legislation that will allow location tracking technology
on all alternative license plates and registration cards. So basically,
(29:00):
if you have a digitalis like registration then they would
you know, if it was on an app or something
like that, then they would be able to use that
to track you. That app would be able to use
your location. And then if you say you were the
(29:23):
suspect in a murder, then they would be able to
track your phone based off of that app. That app
would would allow them to track your location because you
have a digital registration. They're talking about, uh, you know
the technology for digital license plates, and if you used
(29:46):
a digital license plate, then you would also have that
same tracking. They would be able to track your car
to wherever your car is at that time. So just
another surveyor a state deal, you know, tracking, tracking you down,
being able to find you quickly. I mean if you
(30:07):
wanted to be if you wanted to live in a
police state like that, then this is this is a
thing for you. You're be excited about this same thing
with digital currency. You know this this should be part
of your your excitement. So so last article today, we're
(30:27):
just gonna keep it short, keep it sweet. NFL star
Chris Jones offers to pay one point five million dollars
worth of stolen chicken wings after a character or a
cafeteria worker is sentenced. So the basically in Chicago, Chicago
(30:51):
based lawyers saw the reports that an NFL star wanted
to put down over a million dollars of his own
money to get a low cafeteria worker out of prison.
He thought at first there was a hoax. Then Patrick
o'burn tells People Magazine that he called. He got a
(31:13):
call from someone he understood was Chris Jones, confirming that
the Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle wanted to pay. He said,
I will pay for the wings that she stole to
get her free. The problem with this is is that
(31:35):
we don't have a justice system like that where you
were you paid to get out of jail. You know,
if you stole from somebody, yes you can give the
money back, but you still stole from somebody, and so
there is some kind of of criminal prosecutor that happens,
(32:01):
so some kind of judicial process that goes that you
go through. So with this, it's the same type of deal.
You know, if you gave that one point five million
dollars back for the chicken and chicken wings, she still stole,
(32:21):
she still broke the law, she still committed a crime
and that so you know, it's the case went viral
because Vira Liddell, who was working as a cafeteria consultant
for the is Illinois school District admitted that she stole
(32:44):
one point five million dollars worth of chicken wings. It's
eleven thousand cases between July twenty twenty and February not
right now and February of twenty twenty two, according to
her just one minute. According to her lawyer, Gregory Lapapa,
(33:06):
the chicken wings were intended for underprivileged children receiving free lunches,
So Greglary la Papa. The chicken wings were intended for
underprivileged children receiving free lunches during the pandemic shutdown, he says.
(33:32):
And so if that's the case, then fine, you know
Robin Hood, rob from the rob from the rich, steal
from and give to the poor. Blah blah blah. You think, okay,
that's that's a big that's not bad. You know, she
didn't mean to like, she wasn't trying it for herself.
Blah blah blah. The problem is is that O'Brien, oh yeah.
(33:58):
Brian says that the church going sixty eight year old
woman from Cook County, Illinois, who has no previous criminal record,
made false orders of chicken wings, which she then resold
and gambled away. The proceeds. She's just a little sweetheart
(34:19):
that got caught, got a gambling that's got a gambling problem.
He said. She feels beyond terrible about this, and this
is totally uncharacteristic of her. It was the disease taking over.
The records obtained by People show that she struggled financially,
(34:41):
filing for bankruptcy twice in Chicago, in Chicago course from
two thousand and nine and then again in twenty sixteen.
On Friday, August ninth, Liddell pleaded guilty to one count
of felony theft or of more than a million dollars
(35:04):
and was sentenced to nine years in prison. According to
the Cook County six Municipal Clerk's office, Laddell, who per
of the courts, was given credit for six days she
had already spent in jail, is slated for discharge in
twenty thirty and she'll be up for parole in twenty
(35:25):
twenty nine. Obviously, since this was such a violent crime,
she will stay in jail and not be let out
early because of because of overpopulating or population in jails
(35:46):
or prisons lately. But they'll let out the murderers and
things like that obviously, because there's a million dollars. It's
a Class ten felony. Normally it carries anywhere from six
to thirty years behind bars. Obviously she got a little
bit more than the minimum, but not as not anywhere
(36:06):
close to the maximum. She seems like a little little
church lady, but obviously she has a major problem. You
don't just like gamble away a million dollars or a
million and a half dollars worth of chicken. I mean
(36:26):
she she literally sold these chicken wings, so she had
to find someone who was buying chicken wings. She had
a work at doing this to do this, and then
she gambled away a million do like I can tell
you that in my life, I don't know that I
(36:49):
have done a million dollars worth of anything except for
buying antiques and things or you know some sometimes you
know there's or or sales. You know, probably in my
life sales wise sold over a million dollars worth of
products pretty easily, maybe even you know two or three.
(37:13):
But the purchasing side of things, I've definitely purchased a
million over a million dollars worth of antique antiquities and things.
But just you know, to be able to like to
fathom what a million dollars is, you know, to be
able to like work out a million dollars although it
(37:35):
is less than it used to be obviously. Yeah, that
that just you know, to be able to gamble away
a million dollars within what was it, twenty twenty to
two thousand and two in two years time, That's that's
(37:57):
pretty big stuff right there. You're you're doing, you're working
pretty pretty heavily. Like the disease took over. Yeah, you
went full blown. It's a good thing you weren't like
an alcoholic or drug deal at drugs, because you would
be dead. I mean, you'd like one hundred percent dead.
You would have gone on binges. You would be like
one of those binge got binge people that you know,
(38:19):
just there's weekends where you just don't even remember what
you've done because you went on a binge. And uh,
the same type of thing with the you know, with
these chicken wings. Obviously you went on weekend gambling trips
or or weekend gambling things that you know. Yeah, but
(38:44):
uh yeah, so million and a half dollars worth of
chicken wings, eleven thousand cases, that's got to be over
a million chicken wings. You just you gambled away a
million chicken wings. Yep, I don't know. Well again, if

I want to hear one thing, Yes, chef, come on, man,
(00:22):
here's your brain The Why I'm Angry podcast start now.
All right, guys, I thought i'd get on here. We're
not going to do a full on live broadcast tonight.
It's a little bit early here. I actually have NFL
(00:44):
Fantasy Football Draft tonight. So it's the season, best time,
best day of the season. Uh, you get your get
to hang out a lot of times. It's live with
friends and draft some players. No one's lost anything yet,
no one's gained anything yet, and you know, at this
(01:08):
point I could be the champion. So yeah, definitely definitely
wanted to get on here though and talk to you guys.
Obviously it's the chef here in the Freestyle Man Cave Studio,
and just wanted to get on and kind of cover
(01:28):
a few things here. And one of those things is
I was looking over the articles, the headlines going through
over the week here and Telegram. The founder and CEO,
Pavel Durov was arrested on Saturday at France's Berget Airport
(01:56):
in Paris. He so basically the the reason that this
is important. Telegram is one of the largest world's most
popular social media apps. And that's you know, honestly, obviously,
it's it's behind meta you know, the Facebook app, the Instagram,
(02:17):
What's app, YouTube, TikTok, we chat, you know, all that
kind of stuff. But it is one of one of
the you know, probably one of the top ten social
media apps. And he was arrested and the reason he
was arrested was that he didn't have enough overwatch on
(02:45):
his on his app. So the app is popular among journalists, activists,
dissidents and dissidents, but has also been used by extremist
groups and people involved in drug trafficking and distribution of
(03:08):
child sex abuse and images or sex abuse images and
so and so we uh, you know, we was just
looking at this and you know this this is kind
of one of those big big things is that you know,
if you're you know, we've talked about the state of
(03:34):
security and the overreaching uh surveillance community coming on and
things like that, and you know, just if you're if
you're if you're looking at this, UH, this can start
to get kind of scary because you know, yes, you
(03:54):
want to stop extremist groups like drug traffickers, sex abuse,
child child endangerment, child sexual abuse images, you know, any
kind of any of that kind of stuff. At the
same time, you want to be able to say the
(04:19):
things that also make political people upset. And so if
if he's breaking some kind of law with the you know,
without with allowing you know, child abuse images and things
of that nature, then you know, okay. But if it's
(04:45):
just the fact that he has a lack of content moderation.
I also saw that the European Union sent Facebook a
strongly written letter about their moderation, about the fact that
they're allowing people who may speak out about you know,
(05:08):
may insight violence or dissidence and and that kind of thing,
and that you know that they may be shut down
or they may face criminal activity, criminal prosecution for their activity.
(05:29):
The the UH owner, the CEO of Rumble has also
UH just basically just said that they were leaving Europe.
They had fled Europe to h to make sure that
he wasn't getting arrested. Because Rumble is also one that
(05:50):
allows more of the free speech aspect. I'm not sure
whether they you know, you can uh, you know, drug
trafficking and things like that have been prevalent on it.
But you know, I know that they they they are
more for the free speech and stuff like that we
(06:12):
have obviously right now or on rumbles, so you know,
we stand with Rumble on on being free free speech,
not not you know, moderating the content as much as
censoring the content. I know of a one of one
(06:33):
of my favorite bands, demon Hunter, was on Instagram or
on Facebook basically posting that they had been They've been
shut down on Instagram. They had gotten a notice saying
that they were going to be shut down for good.
Yeah if they didn't you know, go through the process
of of appeals because they were associated with an account
(07:04):
that had violated their rules and responsibilities clause. And so
I think I think with that, I I didn't and
I know that they're back up and running and stuff
like that. But the one thing with that is is
(07:25):
like we had an issue on our side of things
and on Instagram, and I'm not sure that we've ever
gotten back up and running on Instagram as the yam
Anger podcast, but I know that with that we got
we we got actually hacked, and the hacker before we've
(07:45):
noticed it, because we don't post every day, posted three
or four spam messages and stuff like that changed the
change some some of the backgrounds that you know, change
some of the ore quotes or whatever quote a changed
a description of us and that kind of thing. And
(08:07):
so we got actually shut down on it. And then
I went back to like appeal and all of that,
and I'm not sure that that ever, you know, I
just so I don't even I don't even deal with
Instagram on the ym Anger podcast now, Facebook, Rumble, Twitch, Twitch,
(08:30):
all of those kind of deals. And then we're so
so with that. We also have gotten hit on Facebook
and that for our disinformation or are are things of
that nature, and so we're you know, this is this
(08:51):
is one of those things that's just really getting you,
you know, kind of kind of worried a little bit
about censorship and things like that. It's one thing too
to say that you know, images of children and and
you know sex trafficking and drug and drug trafficking is
(09:12):
is illegal and you take those images down. But then
as you go farther into it, you know, some of
these countries have have put together pretty strict hate speech laws,
and with those laws being in place, you know, that
leaves it up to interpretation of what it's hate speech.
(09:36):
Is it something that you disagree with, is it something
that offends you, and that kind of thing. So it's
one of those things that we you know, we're trying
to watch and see where where these things come to.
But you know, it says that that Telegram has nearly
(10:01):
a billion users, that users can send encrypted messages in
groups of up to two hundred thousand people. The app
is popular among journalists, an activists, and dissonance because of
that because they you know, they can send private messages,
encrypted messages, they can't be seen by the rest of
(10:21):
the network. And so that's you know, that's I guess why.
I mean, I haven't done a whole lot with Telegram yet,
but you know they've been on our on our on
our list, I guess, or on our on our view
(10:43):
to kind of to look into and things. So with that,
there's also we find the the article here, so on
on on kind of on that subject, there's also uh
(11:03):
Google has allowed uh some users to generate images of people. Again,
they had a scandal where there were some historically inaccurate
scenes depicted with their use. There's also some incorrect racial depictions.
(11:25):
So they were you know, creating people in different colors
and stuff like that, and so they pulled it down
because it could be offensive to whoever solid and all that. Really,
the the issue is is if your AI can create
a photo that looks so much like a person, and
(11:50):
not just random person, but so much like people, celebrities
or or anything else that you can't tell the difference,
then there's you know, there's the potential of of that
(12:12):
being used in a way that is not legal or
is misleading, I guess at least. And so at that
same point, the question is why do we make that?
If you if you you know, it's not you know,
(12:35):
it's not a you know, okay, why not or whatever.
But some of these AI things are becoming it's so
easy to create something that you didn't really create, that
you allowed a computer to create. And and part of
that is, you know, back back when I was learning
(12:58):
the you know, did art or digital design, you know,
you still had to you still had to make your
own items. You still had to make your own vectors,
or you still had to you know, create your own
sort you know, you know, the the computer program, maybe
he would create you a circle, but then you had
to turn that circle into whatever design that you were
(13:21):
that you were trying to design. But now some of
these AI things are I mean, they're creating the whole
thing for you. You know, even with backgrounds and stuff that
I've created. You know, there are there are backgrounds that
you know, I've just been playing around with AI and
just completely created the background of of something, whether it
(13:45):
was like just you know, you know, pertaining to a
background for the church or something like that, and just
completely created it with AI. And honestly, it doesn't is
not a quicker way to do it. It's just sometimes
it can be more accurate to what you're actually creating
(14:09):
and you just have to, you know, eventually get to
the right words or the right you know, variation I
guess of what you're doing for for your vision. So
so that you know, they just kind of begs the
question of of why are why are we doing it?
(14:35):
Along with the the last the article before about about
censorship and and things of that nature, where we're you know,
are our censors ship is becoming less on the fact
of you did something wrong and more on the fact
of you offended somebody, which is you know, part of
(14:59):
you know, when we were kids and you got into
you know, being sensitive in the workplace and and harassment.
That also the the the key phrase back then was uh,
you know, was just you know, if if it offends somebody,
(15:20):
then it's harassment. And so I think we've gotten to
that point where it's the same thing, you know, censorship
based on on if it offends somebody, it's it's no
longer it's no longer okay. And so you know, we
were talking a little bit about the you know, comedy
(15:40):
and how you know, we got we got censored over
a comical meme and that, you know, because somebody acted
like they fact checked a meme. I mean, come on,
so uh in in a turn of events though on
(16:03):
this companies have decided to stop being so political. So
we were talking, you know, we talked about how Dee
and I diversity inclusion and and all has uh has
really kind of kind of played its course a little
(16:24):
bit in some of the businesses, and some of the
businesses are are deciding to step away from things that
can be controversy, controversial or political because they're they're seeing
the backlash they're seeing. You know, bud Light, I mean
it took a dive. It was the undisputed champion of
(16:46):
beers among all around the world in things, and then
all of a sudden it uh you know, there was
a boycott and and it quickly plummeted and plummeted and
dropped and dropped. I'm not sure where it's at now,
(17:10):
but it it lost this position. And so companies are
seeing that, they're seeing the backlash that they that you
see between companies who are who have become political and
and that, and they're companies that are there to create
(17:32):
a profit for their employees, create a product for people.
And some of these companies are are are product Are
they sell products? They're they're not they're not actually creating
a product. But and and in that anytime you don't
(17:54):
create the product and you just sell the product. There
are other supply chains people could go to, other places
that they could go to to get their products and
things like that. So you're seeing companies like Tractor Supply
or John Deere. The biggest one UH in the last
week has been lows Low's decided to shut down as
(18:17):
d E and I section of the company and they
have decided to no longer be a part of the
uh you know, pride movements or you know, parades or
days or whatever. And then they're they're also uh no
(18:37):
longer filling out the l g b T surveys and
things for for customer, for their employees and that which
you know. Then then uh, they're also uh with that.
(18:58):
You would think then that you know, pronouns and things.
You know, obviously, if you're a nice person, you can
use pronouns and and whatever if if that person, but
you know, at the same time, you know, there should
be able to be some level of assumption without you
(19:19):
being without your head being bit off or things like that.
I mean, maybe somebody you know, maybe if if you
don't feel like your pronouns should be he and him
and you look like a he him, then you should
have the understanding that you know, because you're not you know,
the standard, then maybe maybe you should have some kind
(19:43):
of grace at least as as Christians that you know,
we try to follow some bit of grace and allow
allow people to have, you know, some some semblance of
their their differences or whatever without you know, starting off combat.
(20:06):
If it's been tougher lately because everybody seems like they
want to be combative, and uh, you know, some days,
I'm your huckleberry. I'm gonna be the one that say
that takes up the fight against you. And uh, you
know that's not that's not great. It's probably not as
(20:26):
biblical and Christian as I would someday hope sometime, hopefully
hope it to be. But there are days that you know, again,
I go all up in my feelings just like everybody else,
and uh, you know, I'll take that fight. So yeah,
Lo's is now now part of that growing group John
(20:49):
Deere and just different companies that have decided that you know, honestly,
it's it's more trouble than it's worth. And you know,
if you get a bad social score, who cares? Like? Who? Like?
Are we really going to hold you know? Is is
(21:11):
the the left really going to hold them to the
fire on that? Or once they need their hot Cheetos
or whatever, are they going to just cave and get
their hot Cheetos. I know that there's been a few
times where I felt strongly against the company and eventually
six seven months down the road, you know, I needed
(21:34):
something that that company provided and you know sometimes I've
caved and gone back to that company. So that uh,
you know, and that that just it depends on your
on your convictions on it. I mean sometimes that that's
(21:57):
that's the thing. So the space station that there's stuff
that these two astronauts are stuck at. They went up
there to do some work on it. We're supposed to
come back like a day or two later. Now they're
going to uh you know in June. Oh, it was
(22:20):
supposed to be an eight day mission, but they experienced
helium helium link and malfunctioning thrusters and felt like that
if they sent them back they wouldn't make it. So
they they sent them back or they sent it back
(22:43):
without without getting without them in it. So they're sitting
on a on a space station not built completely for
them to stay on, and uh, you know, they've got
some food, I guess, but you know, it's just roughly
the size of a five bedroom house. It can accumulate
(23:07):
accommodate six crew members plus some visitors. Nine are currently
aboard the facility, I guess. But yeah, it doesn't look
like they're going to be coming back until January February
(23:28):
of next year. They it sounded like SpaceX was going
to or SpaceX or the Elon Musk group was going
(23:49):
to be able to come it was going to come
up and get them, but they had to but they
weren't ready for with the new rocket until February. So
but then, you know, then it was a Boeing rocket
that went up there. So you know, you never know,
you know what kind of safety measures or maintenance measures
(24:13):
they've gone through over the last you know time. So
we just had had raids in the West Bank. Israel
is starting to continue their search of Hamas into the
(24:35):
West Bank. They've also had heightened violence there obviously with
the Palestinian population in the West Bank and then also
Israeli a prop population also there. That obviously creates a
(24:57):
level of tension and hostile ability. There was a rocket
attack that was knocked down from Israel. Has Bee Lah
in Lebanon shot rockets into Israel. Israel's air defense is
pretty good, saying that we designed it and they uh
(25:21):
so they did it, stopped the the rockets coming in
and uh you know, so they they struck back, killed
another has a major HEAs belaw leader. So that you know,
that's made tensions even more so, there was one other
(25:49):
thing here that I was going to go over. The
houthis aren't finally allowing some some tugboats to reach the
Greek oil tanker that they that they basically caught on fire.
(26:13):
It's been a million barrels of crude oil ablaze in
the Red Sea. US Defense Department says the tanker attacked
by Houthy rebels over the Weekland weekend is likely leaking
oil and that just you know, that just exacerbates things.
But at least finally it puts a spotlight on what
(26:37):
they're doing that they're not, you know, that they're attacking ships,
they're attacking American ships. They've been attacking American military, American freighters,
and now this Greek oil ship. Hopefully someone then can
get on, you know, decides that this is a serious
(26:57):
a deal and actually starts to defend our properties and
defend our things, because you know, we even talked about
a couple of weeks back that there's like some sixty
seven bases in the Middle East that are just sitting
targets for attacks and things, and they have been attacked
(27:19):
on a regular basis. They're undermanned, they're understaffed, and you know,
they're they're being attacked without the equipment that they need,
without the ability to defend themselves properly. So so the
(27:44):
FBI reported the shooter at the Trump rally had researched
campaign schedules of both former President Donald Trump and Joe
Biden saw the Pennsylvania rally as a target for of opportunity.
So they're trying to they're trying to downplay it that
it wasn't it wasn't based on just Trump. It was
(28:07):
you know, he just wanted to get his name out there.
It wasn't. It wasn't targeting Trump. It was targeting a
high profile person, so you know, lesson less in the
actual you know, worry about who it was actually supposed
to to be about. Kind of along the same lines
(28:33):
as the UH as the censoring in that we've got.
I got an article here that says California Democrats are
hoping to pass legislation that will allow location tracking technology
on all alternative license plates and registration cards. So basically,
(29:00):
if you have a digitalis like registration then they would
you know, if it was on an app or something
like that, then they would be able to use that
to track you. That app would be able to use
your location. And then if you say you were the
(29:23):
suspect in a murder, then they would be able to
track your phone based off of that app. That app
would would allow them to track your location because you
have a digital registration. They're talking about, uh, you know
the technology for digital license plates, and if you used
(29:46):
a digital license plate, then you would also have that
same tracking. They would be able to track your car
to wherever your car is at that time. So just
another surveyor a state deal, you know, tracking, tracking you down,
being able to find you quickly. I mean if you
(30:07):
wanted to be if you wanted to live in a
police state like that, then this is this is a
thing for you. You're be excited about this same thing
with digital currency. You know this this should be part
of your your excitement. So so last article today, we're
(30:27):
just gonna keep it short, keep it sweet. NFL star
Chris Jones offers to pay one point five million dollars
worth of stolen chicken wings after a character or a
cafeteria worker is sentenced. So the basically in Chicago, Chicago
(30:51):
based lawyers saw the reports that an NFL star wanted
to put down over a million dollars of his own
money to get a low cafeteria worker out of prison.
He thought at first there was a hoax. Then Patrick
o'burn tells People Magazine that he called. He got a
(31:13):
call from someone he understood was Chris Jones, confirming that
the Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle wanted to pay. He said,
I will pay for the wings that she stole to
get her free. The problem with this is is that
(31:35):
we don't have a justice system like that where you
were you paid to get out of jail. You know,
if you stole from somebody, yes you can give the
money back, but you still stole from somebody, and so
there is some kind of of criminal prosecutor that happens,
(32:01):
so some kind of judicial process that goes that you
go through. So with this, it's the same type of deal.
You know, if you gave that one point five million
dollars back for the chicken and chicken wings, she still stole,
(32:21):
she still broke the law, she still committed a crime
and that so you know, it's the case went viral
because Vira Liddell, who was working as a cafeteria consultant
for the is Illinois school District admitted that she stole
(32:44):
one point five million dollars worth of chicken wings. It's
eleven thousand cases between July twenty twenty and February not
right now and February of twenty twenty two, according to
her just one minute. According to her lawyer, Gregory Lapapa,
(33:06):
the chicken wings were intended for underprivileged children receiving free lunches,
So Greglary la Papa. The chicken wings were intended for
underprivileged children receiving free lunches during the pandemic shutdown, he says.
(33:32):
And so if that's the case, then fine, you know
Robin Hood, rob from the rob from the rich, steal
from and give to the poor. Blah blah blah. You think, okay,
that's that's a big that's not bad. You know, she
didn't mean to like, she wasn't trying it for herself.
Blah blah blah. The problem is is that O'Brien, oh yeah.
(33:58):
Brian says that the church going sixty eight year old
woman from Cook County, Illinois, who has no previous criminal record,
made false orders of chicken wings, which she then resold
and gambled away. The proceeds. She's just a little sweetheart
(34:19):
that got caught, got a gambling that's got a gambling problem.
He said. She feels beyond terrible about this, and this
is totally uncharacteristic of her. It was the disease taking over.
The records obtained by People show that she struggled financially,
(34:41):
filing for bankruptcy twice in Chicago, in Chicago course from
two thousand and nine and then again in twenty sixteen.
On Friday, August ninth, Liddell pleaded guilty to one count
of felony theft or of more than a million dollars
(35:04):
and was sentenced to nine years in prison. According to
the Cook County six Municipal Clerk's office, Laddell, who per
of the courts, was given credit for six days she
had already spent in jail, is slated for discharge in
twenty thirty and she'll be up for parole in twenty
(35:25):
twenty nine. Obviously, since this was such a violent crime,
she will stay in jail and not be let out
early because of because of overpopulating or population in jails
(35:46):
or prisons lately. But they'll let out the murderers and
things like that obviously, because there's a million dollars. It's
a Class ten felony. Normally it carries anywhere from six
to thirty years behind bars. Obviously she got a little
bit more than the minimum, but not as not anywhere
(36:06):
close to the maximum. She seems like a little little
church lady, but obviously she has a major problem. You
don't just like gamble away a million dollars or a
million and a half dollars worth of chicken. I mean
(36:26):
she she literally sold these chicken wings, so she had
to find someone who was buying chicken wings. She had
a work at doing this to do this, and then
she gambled away a million do like I can tell
you that in my life, I don't know that I
(36:49):
have done a million dollars worth of anything except for
buying antiques and things or you know some sometimes you
know there's or or sales. You know, probably in my
life sales wise sold over a million dollars worth of
products pretty easily, maybe even you know two or three.
(37:13):
But the purchasing side of things, I've definitely purchased a
million over a million dollars worth of antique antiquities and things.
But just you know, to be able to like to
fathom what a million dollars is, you know, to be
able to like work out a million dollars although it
(37:35):
is less than it used to be obviously. Yeah, that
that just you know, to be able to gamble away
a million dollars within what was it, twenty twenty to
two thousand and two in two years time, That's that's
(37:57):
pretty big stuff right there. You're you're doing, you're working
pretty pretty heavily. Like the disease took over. Yeah, you
went full blown. It's a good thing you weren't like
an alcoholic or drug deal at drugs, because you would
be dead. I mean, you'd like one hundred percent dead.
You would have gone on binges. You would be like
one of those binge got binge people that you know,
(38:19):
just there's weekends where you just don't even remember what
you've done because you went on a binge. And uh,
the same type of thing with the you know, with
these chicken wings. Obviously you went on weekend gambling trips
or or weekend gambling things that you know. Yeah, but
(38:44):
uh yeah, so million and a half dollars worth of
chicken wings, eleven thousand cases, that's got to be over
a million chicken wings. You just you gambled away a
million chicken wings. Yep, I don't know. Well again, if

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