Episode Date: July 21, 2023

In today's episode, Andy & DJ talk about Travis King, a US soldier that sprinted into North Korea and is believed to be in custody, CMT facing backlash online after pulling down Jason Aldean's music video, and an IRS whistleblower confirming that the Biden family funneled over $17 million from foreign sources.

What is up guys, it's Andy Priccella and this is the show for the realest, say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society and welcome to reality guys today we have andy and dj cruise the internet that's what we're gonna do we're gonna cruise the internet now cruise the internet means exactly what it sounds like we put headlines up on the screen we talk about what's going on in the world we speculate on what's true and what's and then we talk about how we collectively can provide solutions to some of the bullshit that is going on in the world. This is a personal development entrepreneurship show at its heart. So our goal is to point out the problems on this particular episode. And then the rest of the episodes are basically how we can become better so that we can better solve these problems.

So other formats that we have on a regular basis during the week are Q&A AF. That's where you get to submit questions and I give you the answers. You can submit those questions one of a couple of different ways. The first way is guys, you can email those questions into ask Andy at andyfrasella.com or you can go right there on YouTube in the Q and AF episode and you can drop your question in the comments. Don't forget to click subscribe. Other times we have Real Talk. Real Talk is just five to 20 minutes of me giving you some real talk, similar to what we had yesterday.

Sometimes we have 75 Hard Versus. 75 Hard Versus is where I bring people on who have completed 75 Hard or the Live Hard program, which is available for free at episode 208 on the audio feed. It is not on video. It's on audio. And if you go there, you get the program for free. Bring people on. We let them tell their story about how they changed their lives or reclaimed their lives and became the best version of themselves. And then we talk about how you can do it too. And for all this information that we

share, we have this thing called the fee. And the fee is very simple. It means tell somebody, all right? If you listen to the show and it makes you think, if it makes you laugh, it makes you better, if it teaches you skills, which you will get skills from the Q and AF episodes. We just ask very simply, please share the show, okay? The messages do not get out if you don't share it. I don't do social media.

I get censored extremely hard. The show gets censored extremely hard the show gets censored extremely hard so we rely heavily on you guys paying the fee so uh don't be a hoe share the show all right what's up oh you know just making sure fucking joe over here don't fucking cough up a lung on me fucking dying over here yeah all right hey it's real in the streets. Yeah, man. What's going on, man? I hit a little milestone today.

So I forgot to mention full length. Full length episodes we are moving away from doing on this platform. And we're going to do more of those on the MSCEO project when we relaunch it, which will be available on a private platform. I'll have details for that for you guys soon. So I'm basically moving all of my personal development podcast information lessons into this platform, and we will continue to do the current events here on Real AF. But I did hit a milestone and it has to do with personal development, which is why I brought that up. Today was day 150 straight of me doing a 60-minute ruck. Yeah. So Jason McCarthy, who's been on the show, he's the founder of Go Ruck,

kind of gave me the breakdown on rucking and why I should be doing it and sort of did it in a fun way. You know, he harassed me on the internet for quite some time saying that we should be doing 75 hard with rucks. And, you know, at first I'm like, you know what? Fuck you. I'll do whatever the fuck I want. But then I started thinking about it and then I started seeing all these other people doing it. And then I'm like, you know what?

He's right. So we came on the show. We talked about it and we actually went on our first ruck that day together. I was there. Yeah, you were there. It was hard too. I was dying. Yeah, me too. And, uh, but today was one 50. I told him I was going to do 365 days in a row, uh, which I'm going to do. Uh, I'm going to have to, you know, stay healthy to do that because it's not easy to do. It's not easy to go on a ruck and carry, you know, 45 pounds on your back for 60 minutes. Um, you have to acclimate to it. But anyway, I, today I hit one 50. I thought that was a notable, um, milestone and I'm proud of hitting that. You know, I don't think most people

will ever even do that 150 days in a row of the rucks because you're talking about different weather. You're talking about different conditions. You're talking about pushing through when you don't feel very good. I thought it was I thought it was an important milestone. What's been the biggest change like that you've noticed? The one thing I love about it, like in this, I was just talking because I sent him a text. I said, hey, today's day 150. And we were talking about really right before the show, dude, the best part about it is

the mental health aspect that it provides. Like going on a walk is good for your mental health, but going on a walk that's pretty challenging is much better. Yeah. And the, it's weird. And I'm just going to be totally transparent with you guys. You know, some of the things I do during the day, I don't enjoy doing.

Shocking. No, no, real talk. Like it's a high stress environment. I'm running multiple considerable size companies. I'm dealing with a lot. And by the time those problems uh come to me they're problems that other people just can't solve so i'm dealing with the hardest all day long every day multiple different companies so um so when i wake up in the morning for me

that's typically the lowest point of my day that's where i feel the worst i have a hard time getting going because i'm like i already know what i'm in for and i started doing the ruck right away in the morning and it's corrected that for me so by the time i'm done with that ruck all that weak ass that i'm telling myself about you know this is going to be hard or i know this is going to be it's all gone you know and i'm able to like then i follow it up with the cold plunge right after that. Then I get into going to my day. And those two things together are magical for mental health.

We were just talking about it. You know, as a culture, as a society, we are so conditioned to look for the easiest solution to solve problems like mental health. But I'm here to tell you, as someone who was a user of antidepressant for 11 years, who got off of antidepressant, which was very, very difficult. I'm coming up on my one year off of that here in literally a couple of days. That's a whole nother topic, but we're so quick to look to a pill or to look to an easy solution. And I would say to anybody out there struggling with their mental health, if you are not controlling what it is that you could control,

if you are not actively controlling your diet, if you're not actively controlling your movement, if you're not actively controlling the information that you put in your brain, if you are not getting the proper rest, if you are not doing what you are capable of doing that's in your control, you're not doing anything to benefit your own mental health before you go to a medication or before you go to therapy or before you go to and decide that you're a victim or that you have these problems or that you're broken. The likelihood is you're not broken. You're just not dealing with the stress and the anxiety that comes along with life that we all have in an effective way because you're choosing and opting out of controlling the things that we

actually do get to control. So unless you're controlling those things, I would highly encourage you to not seek pharmaceutical intervention. Work with the hard shit first, okay? Control your food, control your outputs, control your mental inputs, control your environment. These things will make a much bigger effect on your mental health. I think it's exponentially bigger without

the damage that these pharmaceuticals will do to you over time, which I could talk about a whole episode about. Or without you creating the victim identity that a lot of therapists make people feel, right? Now, I'm not saying therapy doesn't have its place, but there's a lot of therapists that make people feel broken and that they're never going to fucking fix. They can never be fixed. And it makes them feel hopeless. And so people create this identity around themselves that they are a victim, that they are broken. And once they've accepted they are a victim and they are broken, they can't escape that identity because it's who they decided that they are. So we have

to really think about this. So you asked me what my favorite part of rucking is. My favorite part of rucking is the mental health aspect. I mean, dude, it's helped me get way leaner. It's helped me stay in much better shape. All that shit's cool. But the main thing is, dude, it's a really super effective outlet for stress relief, anxiety relief, and really just getting yourself centered because we're our own worst enemies. We know how to tell ourselves the worst story possible to make ourselves feel bad, right? Like when we're in a bad mood, you know, we have a tendency to become the biggest bitch ever in our own head and then pile on all like, oh bro, you know, I got one piece of bad news.

This is fucked up. My whole life's fucked up. I fuck this. I'm nothing's fair. And we start telling ourselves all this shit and it drives us further and further and further and further down. And what I think is cool about rucking is if you find yourself in one of those downward spirals where you're your own worst enemy if you put that fucking 45 pounds on your back and you go out for a fucking hour when you get back bro you're gonna feel a lot better and if you don't feel better go for another fucking hour okay that shit will fix it will fix you that's my that's what i like about it's fucking awesome man i'm proud of you man i think everybody that does 75 hard or live hard that has the ability, because like, dude,

75 hard and live hard are scalable programs. Okay. So like if you have to walk and that's all you can do, you're 500 pounds, you're not very active and that's, you just got, that's fine. You're 600 pounds and all you can do is stand up and sit down and stand up and sit down. That's fucking fine. It's all scalable. But if you're an able-bodied human

and you can do a ruck over a walk doing this program i think you should i really think i think every single person should go on go rucks website get yourself the rock the rock pack get yourself a 45 pound plate uh maybe you start at 20 pounds and work your way up you and i started at 25 then went to 35 then went no you started at 45. i started at 45 up. You and I started at 25, then went to 35. No, you started at 45. Yeah, I started at 45. Yeah, but you quit. I'm a dumbass.

I'm still going. Yeah, I'm just dumbass. Yeah, so I started at 25 for like a week. Then I went to 35 for like a week. Then I went to 45. So you can scale it up. And you can also scale it back down and go for speed too. I stay at 45 now because that's part of my commitment I

made to myself, but it's also scalable. And if you're an able-bodied human, I would highly recommend adding in the ruck. And it's different than a weight vest. A lot of you guys are like, oh, I've got a 60 pound vest. A 45 pound ruck makes an 80 pound vest feel good. Okay. It's a lot harder. You're making it easier by using the vest and not the ruck all right and that's my pitch i don't do ads but if i did go ruck you pay me motherfuckers i'm just saying go buy yourself a fucking go ruck pack support american company good dudes good people good community i'm a huge fan of their community and i'm very i'm very harsh critic about companies communities communities being real.

And they got a real one. Something I'm a fan of. It's actually really cool because it's kind of like how some people feel about first form. They have that same. But I get it from the outside with them. Yeah. So it's really cool. I like them.

I really appreciate the friendship that I've been able to create with Jason as well. And the guys over there. Fuck yeah, man. Well, good shit. Great shit. Got a show. Yeah. create with jason as well and the guys over there so fuck yeah man well good shit great shit uh got a show yeah got some good shit dude i know we do bro i was having this crazy like all right so i started smoking cigars more regularly um and now i think i'm like a professional all right so like every day i get home and i'm like i'm gonna smoke and dude what's cool is uh

you know there's a lot more people that smoke cigars than i realized and so everybody's hit me up with like try this try that try this and ed maile hit me up and he's like order you can order cigars from this website it was uh jr cigars all right and i will say i've only ordered from them three times but it's been great. Okay. Um, but my, you know, my friends on the internet, I've posted a couple of times where I'm smoking and they're like, dude,

try this with this. And now I've become like this fucking efficient addict of like trying all these different cigars. Uh, so it's been fun. But while I was smoking a cigar, my favorite is fat bottom Betty. Uh,

and, and one of my buddies, Sean Whalen put me onto that one. I was thinking about AI. And I see all this conversation about AI, AI, AI, AI. And my personal opinion, you guys ask what I think of AI. I think it's very dangerous. I think it should be regulated heavily. I think that companies that use it instead of employing people should be taxed at a much higher rate and people that employ actual real humans should get huge tax incentives. I think there's massive value in interpersonal skills because most people are

going straight to AI. So the more that you can learn actual real people skills, the more effective you're going to be because of the rare it is. And that's the law of scarcity. When it's rare, it's more valuable. And we have an opportunity here to develop our own skills and be way more valuable for just having normal people skills. These are my normal thoughts about what's going on with AI. But I fucking thought about this thing. Let me ask you something real talk. How long do you think AI is existing? Like, typically in our government, in our society,

things exist for decades before we actually know about them, right? Like, when they say, the United States air force unveiled this new fucking bomber, they've been using that bomber for 20 years. We just didn't know it. Exactly. All right. So AI has been the big tech push,

right? Man, look, I got to do this. Yeah. Was it time? Fuck. Where's mine?

It doesn't matter. Cause you're not saying nothing. I'm saying, I mean, I got to be able to receive it. Oh, that's true. So I got to put this on because this is real. This is real shit here.

All right. I'm feeling powerful now. I love the shadow it cast on the wall behind you. I can't see it. So. So listen. So this fucking thought popped in my head last night and I'm not saying I'm right, but I'm saying, what if now out of all the shit I've said, I will say this is a little bit

outside and this could be like conspiracy. Okay. The other shit that I've said is just called being right. Okay. Um, but dude, I believe that AI has probably been around for a long time and been kept from us that's what i think is probably going on it's most likely scenario maybe i'm wrong but we have this movie that comes out the sound of freedom and you know there's controversy around it there it's mixed reviews you know people some people you know are like that's a good look you know everybody's got an opinion about it it's cool um ultimately i think it's a net a net positive because of the awareness that it like to the mainstream like i don't know the shit's on the line oh look we all know that a lot of these people

are into this kid shit because we've been on this, look, we all know that a lot of these people are into this kid shit. Cause we've been on this shit for many years, but there's a lot of people who like we see driving around with fucking masks on, have no fucking idea what's going on. And a lot of those people are like, holy shit. So in that regard,

I think the movie is definitely a net positive for sure. And I started thinking about the awareness that's coming around the pedophilia. And I started thinking about some of the other theories that like, there's a whole bunch of pedophiles that exist in our higher positions of government and media and Hollywood and the Jeffrey Epstein situation. Right. And then I started thinking about AI and I started thinking about all these things at once. And then I'm like,'m like holy shit dude what if they pushed ai out to the public and made ai a thing with the public because they understood that this shit is going to come out and they know that if ai is out there that then they have a defense built in they can

say well that wasn't me that's fucking ai they're using ai to blackmail me you see what i'm saying now i know that's i know that's a little bit more conspiracy than what I would normally talk about. They've already tried it. What do you mean? They've tried it. You guys not remember when Trump got arrested, right? All the AI pitches that were produced. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're doing temperature checks. Yeah, but I'm saying in a real way. Because we're entering into a situation now where we're not going to be able to tell what's real and what's fake okay and that goes for voice or video all right so now we're in a situation where anytime someone gets held accountable in any way shape or form really anyone can say bro that is not me that's fucking ai like have you heard some of the voice shit this thing's capable of doing it replicates people's voice perfectly yeah it's pretty good dude um i mean you know there's ai scams going on where they have the person's voice we covered this where they have

the the ai program call a mother or a father and pretend to be a child that has been kidnapped and demand asking for ransom. Okay. And this is an AI scam that's happening and the parents can't tell the difference. So if the parents can't tell the difference, pretty sure it's effective. So we're any, you know, and it's funny because I see some of these, uh, you know, highly influential people who jumped on AI right away and pushed it out. Like we talked about back in November when it started to come out. They are now saying, holy shit, dude, we're not going to be able to tell anything is real or fake anymore. And I'm like, yeah, I fucking told you that seven months ago.

And you decided to fucking push it out there to all these kids thinking it's a great thing instead of just thinking because you wanted to get the clout for the social media and be ahead of the curve. And now you push something out that can literally destroy fucking humanity. So you can live with that. I'll be happy saying it was fucking fucked up from the beginning. Anyway, that's my conspiracy theory on it. Like, no, what's going to stop them from doing that? Completely possible. Like, say the video comes out because like dude these people are not capable of keeping this under wraps anymore they're not capable of

of the internet's too transparent information is too available so like eventually just like what's happening to hunter biden all this shit's gonna come out and i think their fucking excuse is gonna be bro that's not me the government ai did that and they leveraged me with it and then they showed it to me and showed me how real it was and i believed it i've been scared i've gone along with it the whole time that's real shit you know one weird thing that's been happening with me here lately and i sound crazy even just fucking talk mentioning it loud, but proof that the matrix part of it is real. I've been finding more and more shit online that like, bro,

I could have swore I've seen years ago, but people are talking about it as if the shit just happened yesterday. Like, did you see the video of like the, uh, there was a, um, two school girls.

One was a bigger black girl beating up the little white girl. Bro, I've seen that video fucking 10 years ago. No, you just seen a whole bunch of videos like that. I was. I'm just being honest. I mean, I see a thousand videos a day of the same thing. Yeah. I don't know, man.

I mean, that's just one example, but it's been a bunch of those, man. Like these stories that are coming out in the news. Like I'm like, dude, this shit, like I've seen this five years ago. Yeah. Did you see the video of the white girl getting pulled out of her car and getting the shit beat out of her by the black guys? That's a prime example. Like I've seen that video two years ago, bro.

Yeah. Well, it could be too that, that like this shit is getting recycled and pushed out through social to stir up racial tension ahead of the election yeah you know what i'm saying like bro how much of this shit like because do you and i pass a lot of videos back and forth yeah we do and how yeah how how about the fucking rubik's cube guy that motherfucker deserves a permanent chair in the show he's on something yeah i mean he's got something right just saying dude anyway um you know this could be the platforms because like dude these platforms have the ability to create virality in the videos instantly yeah

like they can choose which videos go viral like it's not it's like they have that power yeah so like who's to say that they aren't pushing some of these more graphic videos to stir race division because dude reality is right now you have a lot of white people feeling very angry about some of the situations that's going on. And like, they're starting to get vocal about it. They're starting to get more aggressive about it.

And it's stirring up the things that they've been accusing white people of for the last 15 years. Because I'm seeing a lot, I'm seeing a lot more racism. I'm seeing a lot more racism from white people. And I'm seeing a lot more racism from fucking black people. And dude, I think they're, I think they're trying to push even more what we talk about consistently where they do not want black people and white people to come together around elections. And

if you look at the timeframe around every major presidential election, we always have high racial tension right around that time. And so that could be part of what, why we're seeing some of this recycled shit, because I agree with you. I was joking about the thousand videos, but like, uh, the point is we are seeing more and we are seeing racial tensions rise.

And to those people who, cause like, bro, real talk, dude, you, you and I talk all the time. It pisses me

the fuck off to see those videos of white people getting their ass beat for being white. Do we not talk about it? Okay. And what do you always say to me when I get pissed off about it? That's what they want. That's what they want. Exactly what they want. They want you to be pissed. They want you to start fucking getting angry about it. Like we have to realize that when we see these things as wrong as they may be, which they are in both ways is wrong. We have to understand that they're getting fed to us for a response, for a reason. And this is what we're talking about.

Rising above the fray of information that they are experts at feeding us that create animosity, uh, you know, which at whatever contention point they decide they want. 100%. They clearly do not want black people and white people figuring out that we're on the same team,

which we are, by the way, okay? They hate us both equally. They don't want Muslims and Christians to figure out they're on the same team. And if those two dynamics happen, they will lose their power. So the more racist shit they pump, I actually think the

solution is to be less racist yeah well i mean and it's very here's a very obvious like test you could or i guess thought question you can have yourself do you think we're the only people that are talking about exactly what we just said this unity message this narrative of come together like you think we're the only people talking about it? No. So why aren't we seeing more of those messages? If the algorithm, you think we're the only people that want you to do it? Well, there's a couple of points to address there. You know what I'm saying? Well, how come we aren't hearing it from the politicians? How come we aren't hearing it from any of the fucking presidential candidates? None of them. Not one. Why aren't we hearing that? Here's why. Okay. And here's why you hear from me, by the way.

That's their whole identity. Their whole career path is politics. Without the chaos, without the fray, without the division, they aren't relevant. No. Okay. I happened to be pretty successful before I ever started really talking about this shit. This is not my identity. This is not what I want to do.

This is not how I like to spend my time. I have a genuine interest in trying to solve the issues so that we can live a peaceful existence, a prosperous existence. And we are getting behind politicians without realizing that they thrive from the chaos. They thrive from the division and that creates their identity and their ability to make money. So they don't mind that it's out there. So why would you preach? You know, this is no different than, this is no different than all the congressmen and congresswomen in Washington DC who are mostly made up of lawyers making regulations about lawyers actually having repercussions for filing false lawsuits. All right. Why don't they make laws that say that if you wrongly accuse someone,

you have to pay them damages? Why don't they make laws that say if you file a frivolous lawsuit, you lose your law license? Why don't they make laws that say if you accuse someone of rape and they are found not guilty, that the person who made the accusation actually ends up going to jail for that, what the time was that they accused the person because that ruins someone's life. Like if you're a man and you're accused of that, it ruins your life automatically. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. All right. You just have to be accused. And so why aren't we making laws to fix some of these issues in the legal system? Well, the reason we aren't making laws is to fix some of these issues is because they're

all lawyers. So now you ask yourself, why aren't the politicians actually solving the problems? Well, the reason the politicians aren't solving the problems is because they need the problems to be relevant and have an identity and have an opportunity to make money because they're not doing it in the real world like somebody like me and most of you guys are doing it's real shit man anyway well when it gets a crew i think it's propaganda no 100 yeah i think i think racial division is a key part of their strategy that they're going to continue to push they're going to continue to um you know i i think that i think they're going to try to push you as hard as they can and i think it's going to work on some people but the most of us got to be

like no we're not doing that we've done this before you guys have done this too much we don't believe you and actually have conversation with the other team go over there and say hey this is bullshit and they're going to be like dude it is bullshit you know what i'm saying like if you actually talk to people you find out that most people are understanding what's happening it's real shit man well uh let's let's let's get into cruising man i got i got a couple of good stuff i want to start today's show um before we get into our topics with uh with what i see as a win okay but you being the entrepreneur kick-ass fucking entrepreneur i'm sure you have a different uh you have some type of insight on this but i want to i wanted to bring

this up because this seems like a win to us um headline reads george soros's open society foundations plan to limit their grant making until february and it's not just that they didn't like there's some issues going on over in the soros let's dive into this this is a um ap news article i think they have issues they're not aware that they have yet oh that well i mean yeah that's a fact i don't disagree with that um the associated press article reading open society foundation said wednesday that they plan to limit new grant making until February as the nonprofits transition to a new operating model run by billionaire investor George Soros' son, Alex. A spokesperson for the

foundation said that the pause will not affect current grantees. In a letter addressed to, quote, friends and partners, Open Society Foundation's president, Mark Malik Brown, wrote, quote, technological, environmental, political and socioeconomic shifts are challenging open society ideals around the world. This flux demands that we reimagine our philanthropy. Foundation's global staff of 800 in 20 countries by 40%, which Malik Brown called, quote, painful news for all concerned. It also means changes to the length of OSF grants. Quote, this will often mean multi-year commitments enabling our partners to invest in ambitious long-term action with clear, measurable goals that would not be met without open society's involvement, wrote Malik Brown, who said OSF would honor existing financial commitments,

but may not renew some of them. Major changes at important foundations are never easy for grantees, said Kathleen Enright, president and CEO of the Council on Foundations. Quote, when foundations are open and transparent, keep funding flowing as much as possible and give grantees time to plan. It's a bit easier, she said. Quote, given that it's not just individual organizations that are affected, but often a whole ecosystem of nonprofits, foundations going through major change ask themselves, how can we be a good partner and maintain the strength of this field? Andy, I guess I'm going to ask you this question first. All right. For any business in any industry, layoffs are never a good sign of the health of the company. What what exactly how exactly should we look at layoffs when it comes to businesses?

Well, it depends right now. I mean, yeah, obviously it's, it's usually not a good thing, um, for anybody. Uh, sometimes it's a restructuring of a corporate structure, like they're saying, and layoffs are necessary. Sometimes that's a normal, I mean, that's a pretty normal part of a growing organization. Uh, you get to a point where you're a little overgrown and you've got to trim off some of the overhead that isn't being utilized properly. That's, that's always a tough decision. I'm in a very fortunate position where we've never had to actually do quote unquote layoffs. But, you know,

it's not usually a good thing, but many companies go through that process and then come out the other side and they end up rehiring people and grow sometimes rehiring the same people they let go while they needed to restructure what's going on so i mean it's a normal part of doing business i don't think it's necessarily anything to doom and gloom about um i think it's normal the other thing, is that we're dealing with a situation where AI has come in and been effective at replacing human beings in organizations. So we're going to start to see a lot of layoffs just based around optimizing companies around AI. And we're already seeing that. I was sent a story about this wine company

that laid off apparently a few hundred people and replaced them with AI. And if that were me as a consumer, I would never buy that products ever again. I would never buy a company that operated that waste product ever again, if I found out they did that. If I found out they fired people to replace with technology in that regard, like AI, like a mass scale. I understand that that's probably

going to happen to a lot of companies, but we as the consumers dictate how that's adopted by adjusting our buying habits. And if I were you and I found out someone was using AI, I would not do business with them at all and that's how we're going to control you know this is a lesson that we can take from the left and from big tech who have worked to cancel people over and over and over again it's been very effective over the last 10 years 15 years probably but if we utilize that concept of we're not going to support companies that do that, then it won't be implemented in the ways, in the damaging ways that we're talking about now. So I'm not sure what this means. There's a lot of angles and there's a lot of things it could mean.

I think them bringing in a new leader, right? They bring in a, uh, they're taking George off and putting Alex in. Um, of course that's going to create some necessity to, uh, to, you know, restructure things and change things. He's probably got some new ideas about how he wants to do things. Uh, they're probably utilizing technology. Like I'm saying differently at the end of the day. I mean, I would love to sit here and say, Oh yeah, it're crumbling but like i don't think that's actually true you know um i could be going back and coming out stronger i think no i don't know they're going to be stronger i think people understand what's going on with the soros uh open society foundation and the world economic forum and which a lot of their people are yeah i think people have started to understand

this and i think the reason you know um and this kind of goes into this kind of goes into why biden's donations are so high okay um you know biden's outraised everybody by like 50 million dollars on his reelection campaign and most of the donations have come from large format donors not small donations they're not getting small donations anymore from the people they're only getting it from large which should be a red flag for everybody massive fight yeah but why are they giving so much money to this decrepit old man who's clearly not capable of actually being president it's because they're afraid of anybody else coming in and holding people accountable because they understand that's probably not just going to destroy their business. It's going to destroy them personally.

What if someone were to come in and expose all this pedophilia shit right up at the forefront, bring out the Epstein list, explain the whole thing. These people's lives are at stake. Their companies are at stake. So I think that's the reason why we're seeing so much money given to Biden and these organizations like Soros and what was the other one? World Economic Forum. Yeah, World Economic Forum. Because there's a lot of people who are part of the scam that are scared that they're going to lose their scam. And so now they're opening up their checkbooks to try and do that. And that's only as effective as we can be manipulated. If we can't be manipulated by advertising, then that's,

it doesn't matter how much money they raise. Right? So that comes down to what we talked about yesterday on the show, on the Real Talk episode, where we have to fucking get smarter. We have to realize who's on the team, who's not on the team talk episode where we have to fucking get smarter we have to realize who's on the team who's not on the team and what we need to be doing together to create a situation where these people lose their power it's real shit man yeah so i don't know dude i mean what do you think how are you seeing it i just saw i'm like fuck okay they're cutting 40 that's all that's almost you know what a little bit over 300 40 that's almost yeah you know like that's a lot yeah that's a lot. Yeah.

That's a lot of employees, man. And, like, the fact that they're not assigning any new grants, like, to me, I don't know. It just doesn't look good. Like, I don't know. I saw this as a win. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I could see restructuring maybe 10%.

Yeah, like, from how I see it, I don't see it that way. I see it as pretty normal until some other, you know, things. Yeah. You know, I actually think these people are going to get flooded with money for the reason I just mentioned. Yeah. There's a lot at stake, man. Yeah. There's a lot at stake. Guys, tell us what you think on that. If you want to hop down in the comments, check it out. But with that being said, let's get into our headlines. Guys, remember, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links,

videos, go to andyfussella.com. You find them there or if you're on youtube watching us check down in the description you can find them linked there as well so with that being said let's get into our first headline headline number one headline number one reads u.s soldier sprinted into north korea eyewitnesses thought it was a tiktok stunt have you seen this i yeah i saw it but i don't really understand what's going on okay well let's get into it uh so uh this is a fox news article reading a tourist who saw a plain clothes american soldier sprint across the south korean border into north korea initially thought it was a stunt new zealanders sarah leslie and her father were part of a tour group that departed from Seoul Tuesday morning to visit the military demarcation line separating the two countries. In an interview with the Associated Press, Leslie gave her eyewitness account of private Travis King leaving the other 43 tourists behind and running straight into North Korean territory where he is currently detained. Leslie said she had no idea

at the time that King, who was dressed casually in jeans and a t-shirt, was a soldier or that he was facing disciplinary action back home in the U.S. A senior defense official told Fox News that King had just finished about two months in South Korean detention facility following a physical altercation with locals. After King was arrested and throughout the time he was held at the facility, he made comments that he did not want to come back to America, according to the official. After his release on July 10th, Private King was scheduled to travel home Monday to Fort Bliss, Texas, where he could have faced additional military discipline,

including discharge from the service, the Associated Press reported. Instead, he, quote, willfully and without authorization crossed the military demarcation line into the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, according to a U.S. Forces Korea spokesperson. Leslie told the Associated Press or tour group, went a step further than many by visiting the joint security area in the village of Pyongyang, allowing tourists to effectively step on North Korean soil inside one of the buildings which are jointly held. To get on such a tour, she said, required submitting their passports and getting permits in advance.

The tourists left Seoul by bus early Tuesday morning, and Leslie said she noticed that King was keeping to himself and didn't seem to talk with anyone else on the tour. At one point, she recounted, he purchased a DMZ hat from the gift shop. Now, here is one of the pictures that was taken on the tour. You can see Private King right there in the black shirt with the black hat on. The guy in the middle or the guy on the left uh guy right here the black guy yep black guy yep so this this is private king all right now this is where it gets weird uh north korea they ain't talking they have not answered um or reached out or received or they may have received it but they're

not communicating with the united States at the time. So this headline reads, North Korea remains utterly silent on missing soldiers suspected of crossing DMZ. The North Korean government has yet to publicly acknowledge the U.S. servicemen believed to have crossed the border into the communist country. Army Private Second Class Travis King was seen sprinting across the military demarcation line, separating South Korea from North Korea on Tuesday while viewing the demilitarized zone alongside a group of tourists. Quote, yesterday, the Pentagon reached out to counterparts in the Koreans people's army.

My understanding is that those communications have not yet been answered. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller announced Wednesday. The spokesperson called communications between the U.S. and North Korea, quote, sensitive, and he said he could not go into more detail at the time. Quote, we here at the State Department and the United Nations are all continuing to work together on this matter to ascertain information about the well-being and whereabouts of Private King, Miller added. Quote, we are still gathering facts, and I want to be very clear that the administration has and will continue to actively work to ensure his safety and return him home to his family. What do we got on this? You know what?

We don't know what North Korea is like because they don't allow us to show any of them and they don't show any of them. Right. And they cut off contact with any of the real media services. So it's hard to really know what it's like on the inside, but it sounds like this guy thought that no matter what the fuck it was, it was better than coming here, which doesn't really speak to the state of our country right um you know i i don't know what to think here man uh this seems like one of those things where you're just like fuck it and like go do it like i don't know man like what do you think i think there's so many things that just don't make sense yet right like and like typically like you know like we do our best here

really if not to just jump on topics when they come out right we want information to come about but like there's just a lot of things in this story that just don't make sense like how the fuck did he get on the tour bus to begin with that required all of these special documents and permissions how did he even get into that you know i mean he's a citizen i mean he's got a regular passport yeah but like the part the tour that they were on it required special permissions which are required weeks or months in advance yeah but not every single civilian operation does a military background check like you don't like you know like that i don't know you're thinking from a security standpoint i i think it could have been a little looser than what you're thinking yeah yeah i don't it doesn't make sense dude and i don't think they're going to cooperate i don't

think i don't think these people... I know they don't respect our current leadership. The only person they respect is Dennis Rodgers. They respected Trump. And Trump. Yeah, Trump. That's a fact. Yeah.

You know, people say, oh, yeah, he called him Little Rocket Man or whatever. Yeah, that's because basically what he's saying is, don't fuck with me, dude, because I'll fuck you up. You know, and that dude knows that's true. So you calm down. And then they shook hands and, you know, that's peace is obtained through, you know, fear. Yeah, that's the truth. So.

Yeah, I don't know, man. It's hard to say. It's just weird because to my knowledge, I mean, you hear these stories of de facto's, right, that are leaving North Korea, going to South Korea. No, it don't go the other way, man. So it's like, I don't know. And like, you know, maybe they're treating them well.

I don't know. I mean, I hope they're treating them well. My guess is, see, it's hard to say because we don't actually even know the truth about what these people think or know because the media fucking lies about everything. Manipulates it. So, like, dude, Kim Jong-un could be like this fucking great dude with a utopia over there and our media be telling us that he is what they tell us. Right.

So we don't actually fucking know. So it's really, you know, it's really kind of up in the air. You know, they, if they're who, if these people are who our media makes them out to be, which I think is probably not entirely true. Um, there's probably a lot of truth to it, but it's probably not entirely true. I would say that they'll probably use him as a leverage piece. Yeah, for sure. Some way, shape or form. For sure.

Um, and knowing our administration and how we are. Yeah. Couldn't, it might not be too good yeah so so it's definitely it's definitely not a good strategic place for our country to be in yeah you know look dude i'm gonna be real honest with you like if i was president and dude i don't buy into this uh every american's life is worth fucking everything i don't buy into that shit like when when they traded britney griner for this merchant of death who's literally responsible for fucking tens of millions of people getting killed over the course of his life yeah um like that's fucked up yeah that's no i would say keeper like that's the worst pokemon or baseball

trading anything against britney griner It could be anybody. No. Okay? And like this dude, like if I was in charge of our country and Kim Jong-un said, hey, man, fucking give us whatever or we're going to fucking do whatever, I'd say fucking have at it, bro. Don't give a shit. Like you're dumb enough to run over there. That's what the fuck you get.

We have to start allowing people to sleep in the beds that they make. You know? That's real. Yeah. That's so real. Yeah. I don't care what happens to this guy like like i really don't like you're in trouble you had a choice you could have

came back and and been a man and been accountable for what you did or at least made a case for what you didn't do but instead you ran into what apparently and by most accounts is one of the harshest countries on the planet that's your own own stupidity, bro. And I hate to say it, but I don't think they're going to care that you're black. They're not going to care that you're, uh, they're going to, they're going to fucking see you as an American. Like we talk about this picture and say, Oh, he's the medic. That's right. And, and do we have this, we have this thing going on in our country where people who, you know, are in protected classes think they can go to other countries and live in those protected classes like that LGBTQ guy that went to Qatar for the world cup.

And then all of a sudden the next day he's fucking dead. He wore the gay shirt to the, to the, uh, uh, soccer game the next day he's fucking dead. And you guys think that's a coincidence, right? Come on, man on man oh he died of a heart attack you don't have okay you never seen a fucking movie where they run up and they fucking inject people that's real shit no like they're creating bio this is what kennedy was talking about they're creating bio weapons not just to attack certain races but they are creating bioweapons to attack certain people. So they are taking your D this is why you should never do 23 and me or any of that shit,

which by the way, black rock just fucking bought. They are taking people's genetic code allegedly and engineering specific strains of diseases that only that person can be affected by. So, so this guy in fucking qatar makes this thing right and then all of a sudden the next day he has a heart attack and die how do you know that they didn't run up to him with one of these bio weapons and fucking just rub their hand on the guy and he's dead in 24 hours you don't have any fucking idea because like that's

how it would be distributed that you go up and you sneeze in his face you got it but it doesn't affect your genetic code but it kills that person so now we're talking about threats literally being human to human contact if you're an abrasive individual or if they want to target you it's dangerous dude it's scary as fuck i wanted to ask you man because i know uh if you guys haven't seen i know previously you've made a call to putin oh yeah i wanted to see if you wanted to try to reach out to kim jong you know nah andy the back one no no back one here

i don't know man guys tell us what you think on this topic man i know it's loaded i don't think that you can reason with kim janu i think putin you can't i think putin actually you know putin there's enough footage of him where you can tell like this guy's got like he's not just raging psychopath that they try to make him out to be yeah for sure um i don't know about this guy you know i'll tell you this that office looks really clean i mean there's this this off this looks like the 60s bro it could be this guy smoked a cigarette right there having a fucking meeting with his team like indoors nobody smokes indoors anymore no korea we do yeah yeah okay whatever man yeah no concept here yeah look dude we don't know what's happening i think that guy made a poor decision yeah for sure guys jump in the conversation let us know what you guys think no goes on and uh let's let's keep

on moving man we got headline number two headline Headline number two reads, CMT faces fierce backlash online after yanking Jason Aldean's music video. Shameful. You seen this one too? I saw it in passing. I don't know exactly what happened. So fans had lashed out at country music television after it pulled singer Jason Aldean's

Try That in a Small Town music video this week following accusations that it was racist aldean had enraged liberal activists all three of them uh with the new music video what's funny you fucking said that and i my first question i'm trying to be better about not interrupting how many what i wanted to say was how many when they said uh fans lashed out i wanted to be how many yeah yeah all three of them that's funny but uh yeah so aldine had a raged liberal activist with the new music video which has uh anti-crime pro-law enforcement themes and tells criminals that their behavior won't be tolerated in rural america the music video plays footage from left-wing riots and smash and grab robberies mostly peaceful peaceful ones, remember that.

But activists accused the song of being racist and promoting violence. Quote, yeah, you think you're tough. Well, try that in a small town. See how far you make it down the road. Around here, we take care of our own. You cross that line, it won't take long for you to find out. I recommend you don't, Aldine sings in the video. CMT confirmed it pulled the music video off the air Monday, angering Aldine fans and free speech advocates. This is one of the tweets.

Miss or I don't. Yeah, I guess it's a miss. Shannon Watts. She had this to say. She tweeted this out, this out saying quote proud to have had a hand in getting cmt to reject this racist and violent song so she's happy about it wait hold on racist and violent song so i listen to fucking rap music that's all i listen to what about some good old wop hold on we're not going to talk about the violence they fucking talk about in the rap music that's all I listen to. What about some good old WAP? Hold on. We're not going to talk about the violence they fucking talk about in the rap music, which, by the way, I listen to, so I'm not going to fucking sit here and shit on it.

Right. But I'm not going to sit here and pretend like it's not a total fucking hypocritical thing to say or do. Andy, it's fine because it's culture. Yeah. It's all right. Well, certain culture is also, don't fuck with me or I'll fuck you up.

That's American culture. Yeah. Maybe that was just the country version of so there's there we that can be a culture but there's also an american culture which is uh respect people treat people right don't fucking carjack people don't spit in people's faces don't disrespect our flag or we'll beat your fucking ass that's a culture it's called america so they want to say that's culture that's culture right it is it is man and you know i think one of the funniest parts like even with her tweet right so like in the video in the music video uh he's showing clips of like blm rally uh

riots right how they're burning down the country right like he's the and it's not like you know his personal footage right these are you know clips from the news media and shit like that so pointing it out is violent but the shit that was actually going on in those videos is not violent i think she's not talking about what's going on the videos i think she's talking about what he says is going to happen to you if you do this shit around those kind of places well he but that's the thing he didn't even allude to what would happen well i think i'm sure it ain't good yeah so i mean i you know look dude i i've been saying this for years man man. The backlash against these fucking leftists for the shit they propagated

and the shitstorm they've created in our country is coming. People aren't going to continue to lay down. People are not going to continue to allow the police to just get fucking fucked with and our flags to get burned. And for all these little fucking soy boy pussy nerds to dress up in black and show up and intimidate people there's a whole section of america that's not intimidated by you at all okay and this isn't

you bring that shit to our fucking town and you'll be in some deep fucking shit i'll probably end up with you in a fucking box okay that's reality so if you want to say that's violent you'd probably be accurate in saying so yeah i mean yeah and cmt they did not return the request that by the way that vibe that vibe is growing okay so it ain't just fucking people out in the state bro most farm people in middle america they're just doing their shit they're not even pissed off yet because this shit they don't have to deal with yeah but things wait till they get pissed that's the thing but doing things like this that just emboldens that it only makes it worse bro bro but you're telling me i can't have my music but dj you know what i'm saying but dj they are fucking these people have

been in control for so long they were unaware that they are actually creating the situation that will actually end up hurting them the most. You see what I'm saying? Like, if you think like if you're the ruler of a country and you go unchallenged for 50 years, what difference do you think it makes a difference what you say or do? It don't fucking matter. You still think you got it? Yes. These people don't. These people have they do not understand the temperature on the ground. And bro, this isn't a black white thing either. This is not, this is not black people, white people. They're trying to make it into that. That's not what this is. This is, Hey, have some respect for our culture in America. Be a decent human being. He talks about not, not spitting in cops faces, not burning

flags, not carjacking people. These are good things to talk about and good things to embody as a human being. I think we can all agree to that. And if we're being honest, I am fucking sick of the left and the media and all these white liberal women who continue to fucking propagate this double standard in society. I can't even go into my fucking downtown area of the city I live in because it's so shitty. And I'm willing to bet that whatever city you live by, you probably have a hard time going in the downtown as well and feeling safe, regardless if you're black or if you're white or if you're Asian or if you're gay or if you're fucking straight. And this identity politics around every single fucking thing is literally going to create

a backlash that's going to have these people wishing they were never fucking born. Okay. The white liberal up in their ivory tower fucking women who don't know anything about what it's like out in the real world. And dude, the real world is getting real bad and people aren't just going to accept it. They're not just going to keep taking it. Eventually they're going to fucking stand up. And when they stand up, the people doing these things are going to get crushed. You know how I know this? Because this has happened in history over and over and over and over again. In fact, it's never not happened. There has never been a tyrannical rule destruction, communism movement that has lasted. It never lasts because eventually the number game gets played.

And then people with the numbers realize that we're getting fucked by people who think they're above us and they kill those people. And that's where we're getting fucked by people who think they're above us and they kill those people. And that's where we're getting to in America. We are moving towards that attitude. Most people at this point in time that have been paying attention are so pissed off that they recognize it's not just Joe Biden. They recognize it's not just Hillary Clinton. They're understanding that it's certain people on the left and the right and in the media and these big companies and their names are starting to get known. And those people are creating a scenario where they are going to be the number one target for

the backlash that's going to happen. So articles like this that she's writing, all she's doing is trying to propagate her agenda, the same agenda she's probably been pushing for many, many years, that there is no flavor and want or desire for on the streets anymore. And it's going to blow up in their face eventually. I do want to read Jason Aldean's statement because I think it's important to listen to. So he released a statement on Tuesday. It says, quote, in the past 24 hours. Hold on.

I want to. Okay. I got something to say about this. What you're about to say. Okay. He says, quote, in the past 24 hours, I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song, a song that has been out since May and was the subject to the comparison that I quote, direct quote, was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protest.

I've been shared with his fans. He called these suggestions, quote, not only meritless, but dangerous. Quote, there is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it. And there isn't a single video clip that isn't real news footage. And while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music, this one goes too far. As so many pointed out,

I was present at Route 91 where so many lost their lives. And our community recently suffered another heartbreaking tragedy. No one, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart. Try that in a small town, for me,

refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of backgrounds or belief, because they were our neighbors. And of differences of backgrounds or belief, because they were our neighbors. And that was above any differences, Aldine said. He continues, he concludes, he says, my political views have never been something I've hidden

from. And I know a lot of us in this country don't agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night but the desire for it to that's what this song is about i mean it's kind of what i just said okay and in regards to the the lynching thing i've seen a lot of black conservatives jump on this and be like this is this is he's talking about lynching people. No, the fuck he isn't. No, he's not. Not to, not only that.

Dude, I'm so, I'm fucking so tired of this race shit when there is clearly a double standard. There is clearly a double standard, bro. Just look at the fucking story we were just talking about. We fucking, white supremacy is the biggest problem in the whole fucking world, right? Or the whole country but black crime stats prove differently right okay like it's obvious there is all kinds of

special privileges that black people receive in society we have television stations black entertainment television we have all these awards black black Grammys. We have black excellence. We have all this stuff for black people. And there's not a single one of those things for white people. And if I were to even suggest that and say, oh, there should be white entertainment, which I wouldn't because I think it's wrong, you guys would lose your fucking minds.

Okay? Like, dude, white supremacy isn't fucking killing everybody in the fucking hood, bro. That's not what's happening. OK, what's happening is there's been an abandonment of these neighborhoods by the people that these people vote for for 60 fucking years and everything that these people, the Democrats come in and fucking promise the black communities every single two years never happens. They don't get the education that they need.

They don't get the fucking support that they need. They don't get the money that they're promised for their communities and their business. They don't get fucking any of the shit that these people promise. Yet they continue to the black communities of America continue to vote for Democrats. Okay. This here, this is no different. This is an intentional story designed to rally up the black americans around this idea of fucking this huge racist problem that we have in america um and and to fucking create divide before election time yeah it's more of the lynching that they're referring to happened almost 100 years ago what are they talking about with them yeah so in the video aldine this is uh from associated press in the video, Aldine, this is from Associated Press. In the video, Aldine, who has been awarded Country Music Artist of the Decade

by the Academy of Country Music, performs in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee. This is the site of the 1946 Columbia race riot and the 1927 mob lynching of an 18-year-old black teenager named Henry Schultz. So they're referring to a lynching that happened almost a hundred years. What is that relevant to the fucking song? It's not like, like dude, but it's also the same community.

They just had a fucking very disastrous tornado rip through it. It's a small town community. Well, I don't think those things are related. I don't think there's a racist bone in Jason Aldean's body I don't know because I don't know him But I'll say this I've never seen anything that would make me think that

And him singing this song doesn't make me fucking think that You know what it makes me think? He's like most of us who are tired of the bullshit We're tired of the shit We're tired of the division We're tired of the lies We're tired of the fucking double standards We're tired of the fucking bullshit Yeah're tired of the division. We're tired of the lies. We're tired of the fucking double standards. We're tired of the fucking bullshit.

Yeah. I see this as just an intentional thing. They don't want us to have hope. They don't want us to have unity. They don't want us to have any piece of strength or any piece of fucking willpower or any of that. Because, you know, while they're taking down these songs or songs like this or messages or shows or podcasts that speak this type of language they're propping up everything completely opposite of it of course you know so this fucking story of jason aldean is just another fucking example of that like dude and you guys were buying into it black or white bro you're insane you're

falling for their shit the guy's saying, we're sick of the bullshit. That's what he's saying in the song. Yeah. Well, and as we all know, guys, a lot of this stuff, this is just mere distraction, right? Look over here. Don't focus on what's going on over here. So let's go to our third headline.

Let's see what they've been trying to hide from us. I think that's a good way to wrap this up. Headline number three reads, over $17 million has been funneled from foreign sources to the Biden family, confirms IRS whistleblower. That's what they don't want us to look at. Why would they want us to see this? No, racism, of course.

Whistleblower X, unmasked as the lead IRS investigator on the Hunter Biden probe, Joseph Ziegler, confirmed that the Biden family has accepted over 17 million dollars in foreign payments with over half going to Hunter Biden. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer out of Kentucky asked Ziegler during Wednesday's hearing to confirm the total amount of foreign income obtained by the Biden family. Quote, this brings the total amount of foreign income streams received to approximately 17 million dollars. Correct. As James Comer, quote, that is correct, replied the whistleblower. Let's check into this. Let's see Ziegler's opening statement. Today, I sit here before you not as a hero or a victim, but as a whistleblower compelled to disclose the truth. That said, in coming forward, I believe I'm risking my career, my reputation and my casework outside of the investigation we are here to discuss. I ultimately made the decision to come forward after what I believe were multiple attempts at blowing the whistle in the Internal Revenue Service,

at the Internal Revenue Service. No one should be above the law, regardless of your political affiliation. By the way, I'm pretty sure that's a gay man. It is a gay man. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure he votes Democrat. He does vote Democrat. Wrong is wrong.

I think it's pretty awesome. I think it's pretty awesome. I think it's fucking amazing. Let's see what the Democrats think. That's an actual American first American. 100%. Yes. And guess what? I don't care.

He's fucking gay or Democrat. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Yeah. But let's check in on our Democrat. Let's see what they think over there. You know what they say, Andy? I bet they're going to fucking say, this is a nothing burger.

Nothing burger. That's what they always say. It's a waste of time is what they're saying. Oh. Yeah, it's a nothing burger, man. Waste of time. R.S. Whistleblowers testimony on Hunter Biden.

Still not enough to convince these Democrats. Let's dive into this. It's a waste of time because these pussies up in Washington, D.C. won't hold anybody accountable. It's a waste of time because nothing's going to happen. That's what they're trying to say. That's the demoralization of our society. Yeah. So the two IRS

whistleblowers who allege the Justice Department meddled in an investigation into President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, were not convincing Democrats, told Fox News. Quote, I believe that they believe themselves. Whether they're right or wrong really is in their mind and the determination of other people. Representative Kwesi Mfume said, quote, I happen to believe that they're wasting time on this. Representative Daniel Goldman told Fox News, quote, they are good faith actors who misconstrue the third hand information that they received.

I think they were frustrated that the case didn't move forward as they had hoped after all their hours. The New York Democrat continued, saying they were frustrated that they were removed from the case after they were significant leaks to The Washington Post. And they're expressing their frustration in this way. It's just, I just, I just upset Andy. That's it. That's why they're talking about this.

So Joseph Ziegler, he's a 13 year special agent for the IRS whose identity was revealed Wednesday. And Greg Shapley, a former IRS investigation supervisor claimed the justice department did not handle the investigation into Hunter Biden in an ordinary way. Now, the two were invited to testify at a hearing before leaders of the House Judiciary Oversight and Accountability and Ways and Means Committees. The whistleblowers claimed that there was a pattern of, quote, slow walking investigative steps into the president's son before the 2020 presidential election and efforts to tip off

hunter before investigative actions in one case shapley recalled that an assistant u.s attorney told hunter biden's lawyers the irs was readying to execute a search warrant on a storage unit used by the president's son the tip tip destroyed, quote, our chance to get evidence before being destroyed, manipulated or concealed, Shapley said. House Republicans believe the whistleblowers. Well, I think they're very credible. Republican Representative Russell Fry told Fox News, quote, their testimony has been corroborated by the FBI, who was just in here this week. Ziegler, a Democrat, quote, doesn't fit the mold of a partisan hack, Fry said. Representative Jason Smith, a Missouri Republican, agreed. Quote, they're absolutely credible, Smith said. Their facts are lining up. No one has countered anything

that they have said. Lawmakers noted the personal risk taken by whistleblowers to come forward um that's that but you also got rfk he's also testifying on capitol hill talking about the censorship that's going on with him and what we got a little on a little stroll on capitol hill i don't think it should be a surprise to many people, but there's a lot of people within the system that Hunter Biden lives and exists and has thrived in coming to his defense because what they're realizing is, is that if Hunter Biden is held accountable for the things that he has done, uh, the, the sheet will be lifted to reveal that this is actually how it works in

Washington, D.C., where it's pay for play, it's pay for influence with all of these politicians, and a lot of their own illegal activities will be uncovered by doing so. So I think there's a big movement to protect the Bidens because of the collective guilt of all the politicians up there. And that's not being talked about by anybody. We don't have anybody talking about that. And if you look at how these politicians go in at net worth of X and then come out net worth of 100 X when they're making $200,000 a year. They just happen to be picking the right stocks and they just happen to get the fuck out of here. Like these people are fucking criminals.

They've been oppressing us. They've been stealing from us. They've been doing all of this inside shit for fucking who knows how many decades. Okay, this is a club. That's the game. They're all attorneys. They all hang out with each other. They all play golf together. They all eat dinner together. They all run around, do whatever they fucking do together, which apparently has something to do

with little kids. Okay. And, uh, and they're going to protect each other and that's what we're dealing with. So, you know, I, I think that this man who came out, actually, both these men who came out are super brave Americans and should be champion because we need more of this. This is what's going to help on on on reveal what's actually been going on. That's my take. I, you know, and the funny thing is, is they'll, they'll, they'll say anybody that doesn't go along with their agenda is anti-gay racist. Like no motherfucker. We don't care. We care about what's right.

And I think this dude's a hero for what he did. 100%. Guys chime in on the conversation. Let us know what you think. Hashtag accountability. He's going to get fucking destroyed by his own fucking buddies at his own agencies. You know,

his job is done. That's not just his job. They're going to harass him from by his own fucking buddies at his own agencies. Oh, no, his job is done. It's not just his job. They're going to harass him from here until the end of time. This is why it's important for the curtain to be all the way lifted. We're living in a... But Andy, aren't there regulations that prevent attacks on whistleblowers? Well, aren't there regulations that say you can't have cocaine in the White House? Aren't there laws that say you can't have cocaine in the White House? Aren't there laws that say you can't kill people?

Right. Don't do drugs. Right. I mean, do we really think that regulations or laws mean anything anymore? You know what I'm saying? So, like, it's important that we understand the situation we're in. I talk about this a lot. But like, dude, we're not, we don't live in a free country.

You guys think we do. No free country can exist where you have to work for the government organization most of the time, which is the case for most people. When you talk about how much tax you pay, typically you guys talk about income tax, but you forget all the tax you pay on all these other issues. You pay tax when you buy shit. You pay tax when you sell shit. You pay tax to hold shit. You pay tax when you die. You pay fucking tax for literally everything. And when you add up all the tax that we pay, it's well over 50%, even for the the lowest tax bracket of americans on income tax so what that actually means is that we all work for the government when in the reality the

government's supposed to work for us the government should be much smaller it should be uh run much tighter uh we have too many you know what here's what it is the scam was discovered and then all of a sudden people just kept joining the scam. And now we have the scam that we, the people exist to feed the scam. Right. And that's what we're dealing with. We're dealing with a bloated, fat, corrupt government system that legit needs to be replaced. That's real shit. Okay. And I'm not talking about burning it down. I'm not talking about violence. I'm talking about whatever the fuck we need to do to get this back on track where it's, uh, of the people, for the people, by the people. And they act in our best interest to where we

don't pay most of our income for them to operate because they're so big and bloated. Like that's not cool. That's not fair. And, and, and by the way, that's not just like a thing where you're like, Oh, i'm pissed off i gotta pay tax you have to think it like why do they do it that way well they do it that way because if you're taxed so heavily and the tax burden is that hard to carry now you're in a position where you can't actually grow out to become somebody of means or if you do, it's a very tiny percentage of that, right? So think of how much more financial wealth and how many more jobs and how much greater the economy, how much greater the cities, how much greater the roads and the infrastructure, how much greater this country

would actually look like if everybody worked for themselves, they were able to accumulate wealth without the government stealing most of it. And we were able to solve problems on our own. And I'm not talking all the way to we shouldn't have a government. Like I'm not talking about that crazy shit. No, of course we need a government. We need an organization of people that are going to act in interest of the people. That just hasn't been happening. And that's where we get these libertarians saying we don't need a government who's gonna you know we'll build the roads and we don't need fucking police and like bro shut the fuck up like you make the whole cause of like reasonable like reduction of government sound insane like you're hurting the cause by saying that stupid

ass shit okay that's why libertarians never get taken seriously because they say shit. It's so anarchist that people can't comprehend so much conviction. I know, dude. Well, it's usually they are pretty intelligent people, but they're not understanding that in our preferences as human beings. Like if we say I prefer X, we typically take it to the extreme because we're working to convince people over here to believe in it. And we want so bad for them to believe in it that we take it to the extreme and we say, you're an idiot for not believing. But if you really want people to start believing in a more libertarian type liberty, personal liberty, personal accountability, less financial oppression plan for a better America. You have to talk in terms of something that they can comprehend, not fucking straight up, no police,

no fucking government. They can't understand that dumb asses. So you have to talk in terms of where they can understand it, which is very minimal government. Okay. That actually acts in interest of our people. We have police. We have a military. We have these things. And they are run in a genuine way without the corruption that we've seen our whole entire lifetimes. Now, I can't blame libertarians for feeling the way they feel,

but they're communicating it poorly, which is making them be taken less serious. And alienated. Right. So like when I get on here and I say, hey, we could pay 10% income tax. We could pay our police officers $250,000 to start to keep our streets safe. We could pay teachers $250,000 to start to bring in quality individuals to teach our children, which is the most important job that we have in this country. Um, and we could

do that all for this, this budget, which you could. Okay. And you can still have the most powerful military in the world and you could still have the best infrastructure in the world. Okay. When you say, when I say that people fucking throw it in the libertarian dumpster and they're like, that sounds like bullshit because the libertarians fucking talk about the straight up anarchy shit that most people can't comprehend, bro. So like we, we have to get to a realization that we live in a government that is not free. It's advertised as free. We're told it's free. But if you were holding someone hostage in your basement, some of the time they were fucking, you know, born. Okay. and they grew up to be an adult and the whole time you were telling them you're free this is freedom you're free this is freedom you're free

aren't you thankful to be here you're free you're free you're free you know what they're gonna say they are they're gonna say i'm free and that's what america is right now and people just haven't woken up to it yet and when they do there's going to be repercussions and accountability for some of these crimes against humanity that these people have committed in the last fucking three and a half years. So, yeah. That's my take, dude. Guys, tell us what you think down in the comments. But with that being said, Andy,

let's close this out. It's time for our favorite segment of the show. As always, guys, we have Thumbs Up or Dumb as Fuck. That's where we bring a headline in. We go through it. We talk about it. And we'll get one of those two options. So with that being said, our thumbs up or dumb as fuck headline reads. Kings guard melts hearts by making a rare break in protocol.

So boy with Down syndrome can have a photo taken with him. I thought this was pretty cool. So a member of the Kings guard has won praise after going out of his way to make a young man with Down syndrome feel comfortable. A video of Mike Van Earp, 50, better known by his YouTube name Cycling Mikey, and the youngster posing for a photo at Buckingham Palace has caused a stir after being shared on YouTube, thanks to the touching way the situation was handled by everyone. So known worldwide for being silent and still is the job of Kings guard to stand on duty outside official Royal residences. And even when tourists try to distract them, they are expected to remain unmoved. However, footage shows how a kind hearthearted member of the guard moved closer to Mike and the boy who were trying to get a photo to remember their trip to Horse Guard's parade. Bye. that's awesome that's pretty cool man yeah so he was telling the uh so the dad was on the video i

saw you could see the subtitle of what the uh the man was telling the boy with down syndrome he was telling him don't get too close don't get too close and this the the guard heard him and the guard stepped over to be in the photo with him so i thought that was i mean bro this is this is what it's about yeah i thought it was pretty cool And honestly, that's what most people are like. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So he admitted that both I and the young lad got a bit of a scare when he stepped closer to us because it was so unexpected, adding, this left me with tears in my eyes for a few

evenings. After Twitter users initially thought that Mike was the boy's father, he clarified, quote, I'm also not his dad, although I'd be proud to be. I'm very grateful to the soldier. He continued. I'm lucky I had good parents and went to a Jesuit school that cared about me and taught me well. Same for the young lad. I'm with tears in my eyes. Over the last few years, the Kings Guard have earned something of a bad reputation on social media because the video is showing how they shout at members of the public they get too close to them or the horses um i also have a video of that just i mean i feel like i've never seen that you know bro they can be brutal really oh bro look at this one okay what do you say. He knocked the little kid over.

I'm Bob Evan. Linebacker. UK. I mean, that's not cool. So it is good to see them painted a good light, seeing them do some good stuff. Yeah. Online, they've been getting a bunch of love.

Much respect for this King's guard. He was aware of the situation and acted with honor. Lovely gesture of kindness. All the guards do an exceptional job with so many tourists. Shows you the power of an individual. Yeah. What they do when they were collective. They just ran the kid over.

What they do when they were on his own. He did the right thing. That's deep. Something to think about. That's deep, man. It goes right into what we were talking about in yesterday's Real Talk. Right into the problem with this country which is group think group association the inability or the lack of courage to speak up for what you believe is right or wrong

that's a that's an embodiment of it those two videos it's deep shit man will be giving it i think it sums up yeah completely agree yeah that was pretty fucking awesome guys it's all I got. Don't be a hoe. Share the show. Went from sleeping on the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a bowl.

Fuck a stove. Counted millions in a cold. Bad bitch. Booted slow. Got her on bankroll. Can't fold. Just a note. Headshot.

Case closed. Close.
