I played in that congressional baseball game last year i saw a profile view during the national anthem and i said you know what i can do a little better than that yeah you're killing it man so just working out more honestly so you say you're down close 30 pounds or so by 30 pounds and that's probably about where i'm yeah that's a good that's a good way for me but yeah just a lot of you know trying to build some muscle mass and and like i said like a lot of protein yeah very noticeable man thanks very very noticeable

so what's been going on nothing man just you know i was uh at the convention that feels like a lifetime ago by the way the republican convention it was like three weeks ago years ago trump was shot at five weeks ago. Doesn't it seem like it's like one thing and then another, it seems like they're playing ping pong. It's like the, the Trump assassination attempt, then announced Kamala,

then the RNC, then the DNC. Right. You know what I mean? Now, yeah. That debate wasn't even two months ago. Like,

you know what I mean? Like, so it's just, things are moving fast, but, but no, I've been home a lot more, like I mean like so it's just things are moving fast But uh, but no I've been home a lot more travel in the state during August which is a time and then we'll go back In September for a few weeks and then October doing a lot of campaigning But you know spending time with my family and getting around the state. It's good All right. How long have you been in office now a A year and a half, right? So, yeah, 18 months.

So, I don't get and i kind of you know that's the arena you know i signed up for it and so i'm just in the mix you know me yeah well i'll tell you what dude it makes us damn proud here in missouri bro it is when we talk about fighters like people that represent the people like this like you are the example like you're you're him you know what i'm saying you're doing a lot of great and it's not just for missouri and bailey's following up right behind him dude we got some hitters here bro he's doing a great job we do i know and i don't know i don't know holly but i mean he does a good job too man awesome man

holly's awesome yeah it's interesting josh and i we're you know from missouri both of us are in you know the senate both in our 40s. That's pretty unusual. Yeah. And then, yeah, Andrew's doing a great job. He's killing it. Missouri is kind of leading the way on this stuff. Yeah.

Very kind of low-key, under the radar in some- Well, you know how it is, bro. We don't put up any BS around here. That's right. It's a show me station. Show me station. Yeah, that's right. Well, you guys are killing it here, man.

Yeah. It's great to be on campus here. Yeah. that's right so you guys are killing it here man it's great to be on campus here yeah i mean whether it's the the supplements or these delicious drinks or the apparel you guys are killing it yeah it's cool man you know we're trying to keep the american dream alive for families and the community and a lot of times people are like well why don't you guys move well first of all we're right here in st louis i know it's hard for people to believe, but a lot of people really like St. Louis. Right, right. And we don't mind that you don't like it.

Yeah, right. You know? But it's, you know, I think for us, it's become more about really becoming a sense of pride for the community, you know, supporting the community. You know, we had that for so long with Anheuser-Busch, and then when they kind of sold out to InBev, you know, we kind of lost that for a while. And I think, you know, we're doing a pretty good job so far of really trying to fill that gap, and I feel like the people in St. Louis

are really showing us a lot of love. So it's really cool, man. It's good. It's cool to see when you go to a Cardinal game and you see the first form from the Louie and Reprise. That's a cool thing to see. And I know what you mean. My dad worked for the brewery.

My aunt and uncle that worked at the brewery. I was that kid that would show up to school with a Spuds McKenzie jacket on or something. You know what I mean? You had pride in that. So it's cool that this is here. You guys are doing a great job. It's fun, man.

I appreciate that. Yep. What's up with you, dude? Oh, you know, hey. It's a lot of interesting stuff happening out there. Is there? There is some dots to be connected, as always, man. All right.

Before we get to that, though, guys, make sure you guys are paying the fee. Yeah, guys, don't forget, we don't take ads on the show. We finance the show ourselves. We talk about the things that we're not supposed to talk about. Well, the internet doesn't like us talking about them. It's the things we all should be talking about. But we need your help getting the show out. We don't run ads on the show.

I don't want to listen to what someone thinks that I should or shouldn't say. And so we rely on you guys to share the show. So remember to pay the fee and don't be a hoe. Share the show. All right. Well, with that, man, let's go ahead and get into some of these topics. I wanted to bring this first thing up because i feel like whatever we say at this point is just true like it just happens yeah um you've been tracking on the

boeing stuff oh on the start on the uh the term of the astronauts or just the company oh yeah i mean okay yeah yeah i'm trying to narrow it down yeah but uh those astronauts that we covered uh who originally went to space for eight days will now be stuck in there until 2025 in the deep end of the pool, apparently. Shut up, for real. They're not getting out until 2025. Now, Boeing was supposed to be rescuing these guys and it's not happening. So let's dive into this a little bit. Boeing employees are humiliated after NASA announced that two astronauts who have been stranded on the International Space Station by the company's troubled Starliner space who went up to the ISS in June for what was supposed to be an eight-day mission, will have to wait another six months until a SpaceX crew Dragon spacecraft can carry them safely home because their original ride is leaking helium and has

problems with its thrusters. The Florida-based staffer with Boeing's space program said the decision was the latest blow to the aerospace giant, which is already suffering backlash from a slew of commercial flight incidents earlier this year. Quote, we have had so many embarrassments lately, we're under a microscope. This just made it like a hundred times worse, said one worker speaking on the condition of anonymity. Quote, we hate space uh space x he

added we talk shit about them all the time and now they're bailing us out that sucks that's pretty funny dude that sucks man dude imagine being up on the space station all right and you're watching the news for the last year and seeing all this shit that boeing has done and like not done apparently right and you And you're like, fuck, they're supposed to come get us. Like that doesn't feel very reassuring. Think about this. But like even taking a step further, I'll still take Boeing over fucking SpaceX, though. Yeah.

They must be coming to get you. Motherfucker. They must be Democrats. I'll still vote for Kabbalah, even though nobody voted for. Right. Yeah. Yeah. They're not going to rip those Boeing bumper stickers off.

Yeah. Man, like, well, there's a lot to unpack with that. I can't imagine, first of all, being 6'6", in a capsule anyway, would freak me out anyway. No chance. Me neither. I was stranded in space. But I don't know, man.

So I actually serve on the Space and Science Subcommittee of the Commerce Committee. So it's really interesting. We're dealing with all serve on the space and science subcommittee of the commerce committee. So we're, it's really interesting. We're dealing with. So you did this is what you're saying. No, it's your fault. Sounds like we need some hearings. But, but no, like this commercial space endeavor is like, like China's in this for real too.

They're talking about like mining asteroids, like the stuff that like, this is the next phase. And the first of all, the first shots of the next war are going to be shot in space so like we got to be better at this than everybody else and i think having a like a layered system where we have innovation where it's not just the big players right like if we want to win you're going to need all of it and you're going to need boeing boeing we want boeing to be great because there's a lot of employees here in st louis right right um they're in competition for this next generation fighter um we're fighting with the air force to make sure that's out there so we win you know this we got to pivot to china

so there's a lot going on but i also you had the picture of nasa up like literally just today i saw there's like this dei struggle session video that got leaked that nasa like you know to apologize for being white it's all this crazy stuff like how about we work on like getting people back to the moon yeah mars as opposed to like this cultural marxism that nasa and a lot of i mean look our military's done it too dude they had to had to shut down 17 ships. Is that true? Is that true? Yeah. Look, the Navy is down 30% for recruiting.

And so this is, look, when you divide the room by oppressor and oppressed, some people might say, you know what? Maybe I don't want to go do that. You know? So we still have a great military. We love the people that serve. But these political people at the top are pushing this ideology that's super divisive it has no place in the military military is supposed to be like this great meritocracy it also has no place in nasa whose

only mission should be getting people to and from space safely yeah so it's not using the best people yeah well dude that's meritocracy is is what this country is truly supposed to be about, man. And if you're not good enough to do it, guess what you're supposed to do? Get better. That's right. Get better. And, you know, people have abandoned this mentality. And it's really frustrating because, like, in theory, a lot of these people believe this stuff. They think, oh, we should have this many of these people and this many of these people and this many of these people. But at the end of the day, it doesn't work in reality. What works in reality is competition, meritocracy, who's the best. If you're not the best, how can I learn to be the best? And this is very important because it's not just about like airplanes being safe. It's about the pride that an individual has and their ability to accomplish and develop and become better. You know, a lot of people feel very empty inside because they're never given the opportunity to truly compete because they're awarded things based upon where they come from or what gender they are. And dude, that really takes a lot of people's individual pride away from them. It's really sad

because, you know, when I look back at my life or when you look at your life, you know, the things the things in all of you guys, the things we're most proud of are the things that were difficult that we overcame. Accomplish. Right. And if we if we take that away from people because we want to have a certain representation, we're cheating people out of the ability to develop and become fulfilled as individuals, which takes away the national pride that we should have as a country on an individual level. Can't be proud of yourself, can't be proud of your country. Well, it's also the real problem with identity politics is it boils everything down to one thing. Like, you know, like each one of us are like layered. There's a bunch of different layers.

It's like, you know, yeah, I'm a Republican. Yeah, I'm white. Yeah, I'm Catholic. I like pork steaks. I like beer. I like, i like you know i work working out i like watching the car and there's a lot of things that are things i like right right don't sound too bad there's a lot of things that define you in this kind of race essentialism this obsession with it is what's driving people apart most people live their lives they want to get along with other people they don't give a you don't give a shit at all about that's right if the race of somebody else or if they're a protestant or they're jewish nobody gives a shit about that stuff they just they actually

just want to accomplish things and people seek commonality yeah naturally you know but i think you see these forces that don't really want people to to come together i think i think people are getting smart though i think people are seeing it and I think we're going to see the pendulum swing back so much that people totally ignore this identity shit and start to come together. I'm seeing it. Yeah, it just sucks that it only took airplanes falling out the fucking sky to get there. Look, man. Listen. Well, look, bro.

We got to be real about this you know we as human beings in the history of humanity have never faced a weapon as powerful as the internet and social media in terms to create propaganda so this has been a giant experiment the last 10 years 12 15 years which really hasn't gone well i would argue that as much benefit as the internet brings, it's brought more division than that and more isolation and less fulfillment. People are not as happy because they're not going outside. They're not doing the things like you and I did growing up, like cooking some pork steaks on the grill, listening to Jack Buck call a Cardinals game. Yeah, playing wiffle ball. Yeah.

Dude, we need more of that. And you get anybody in those situations, it doesn't matter if they're black, white, gay, straight, doesn't matter where they come from, bro, you're getting along. It's fun. Think about it. You build friendships and connection with people you share a common experience with.

That's why sports was always such a big part for me because I didn't care, man. You were on my team. Yep. And I want to go win the game. I don't care who's on. You're on my team and let's go win and you compete together and and i think whatever it is like that's how people build relationships so if you're if you're segregating people think about

that like getting back like segregating segregation yeah then then you're not going to actually have those common experiences that's what's flawed about the whole thing dude it's it's almost interesting too like um did i send you that i think I sent it to you, that RFK tweet where he talked about what MAGA really meant. Oh, yeah. I got it. That was good. Okay. I mean, dude, I've talked about that for many, many years.

And what we're really talking about here is we're not talking about going back to 1847. We're talking about becoming dominant. We're talking about working as a team. We're talking about development of individuals. We're talking about working together as Americans. We're talking about development of individuals. We're talking about working together as Americans. You know, we're not talking, that's not, the media has completely weaponized that term to make it seem like, oh yeah,

all of us white dudes want to go back to slavery. Like, bro, it's insane. And we have to get past, I think people are getting past it. I really feel- I think people are seeing through this stuff. For sure. It's because it's unnatural, man. And like like that's the thing. It's like you know

any major changes that have ever happened in any civilization always came from the people and This like the DEI stuff this this I'd like that didn't come from us They didn't come from people right so it's a very unnatural thing which is why I think people are realizing now It's like I didn't ask for this shit. Did you ask for this? No. Nobody asked. Who asked? That's where the understanding is. This is an intentional play that has been put on society

to get us divided and segregated. It's not natural. It's falling apart, though. It's not natural. Just like we said it would. Yeah. Just like those Boeing doors. Well, guys, jumping on this conversation, let us know what you guys think down in the comments. With that being said, man, let's get into our headlines. Headline number one.

So we got to talk about it. We got a little anniversary today. It's not a birthday or anything like that. And it's one of the darkest parts of, I guess, our history as a country, man. Um, but let's talk about it. Uh, headline reach three years ago, a terrorist attack killed 13 us troops, newly released emails show Biden admin was aware of the chaos that led to it.

Um, so yeah, not a very, not a very happy subject to start with. It's, it's interesting because we actually, one of those service members were actually from St. Louis. Jared Schmitz. And, yeah, we met the parents, you know, like. Great family. Amazing family, you know. And this, I think, was a really big lead up to, I guess, the fall of America on the national global stage, if you will. And let's get into it, man.

So you got newly released emails show top Biden administration officials discussing the chaos of the Afghanistan withdrawal in the days leading up to the deadly terrorist attack that killed 13 American soldiers three years ago today. The messages obtained by watchdog organization, the Functional Government Initiative and shared with just the news show that former Pentagon spokesman John Kirby was fully aware of the chaos on breaches and flight line insecurity at the Hamid Karzai International Airport or HKIA in Kabul. The report made clear that U.S. forces were quickly being overrun there. Quote, DOD continuing to surge to theater, but at the moment, further breaches cannot be fully prevented at current force levels, the report said, noting that, quote, the Taliban have been increasingly positioning near HKIA access points. The report also noted crowds of people swarming american airplanes

prior to takeoff with some even trying to grab onto the aircraft as they accelerated down the runway for departure those are videos and images that were you know i'll never forget that yeah it's impossible to get that image out of out of people. Quote, hundreds have flooded the flight line and in at least one case have forced themselves onto at least one U.S. military and other civilian aircraft. Crowds continue to run alongside planes, including military aircraft, the report said. Also on August 16th, Kirby was asked by speechwriter Warren Bass

about an appearance from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Quote, unless you're itching to get him to the podium, this could well be the first time the SD has been out in public since the collapse in Afghanistan. Bass wrote, quote, at a minimum, he'd need to start with a serious topper on the Afghan chaos. Quote, Warren, warm words are good. We'll want to do a spray given the circumstances kirby uh replied um so you have all of that happening um you know and obviously what's a spray i believe that's like a clean out of like the narrative basically okay white kind of white washing it out a little bit making it palatable um or in words, deny, deny, deny.

Everything's fine. And obviously, again, 10 days after all of these emails are going back and forth, that's when an ISIS suicide bomber attacked the Abbey Gate entrance of the airport, killing 13 American soldiers and around 170 Afghan civilians. Now, with that going on again, we know what the response was from our country, from our administration on this matter, and how those service members' families were treated by this current administration. He didn't meet with them. Biden wouldn't meet with them.

Didn't meet with them at all. No, and then when they were there, he'd check his watch like he had somewhere else to go. I mean, it's so insulting. And, in fact, the Schmitz family, they've come out to dc even and do the um this is how great people they are they um come with the honor flight folks so like they they are helping you know veterans of of other wars and escorting them around and kind of giving back and they lost their son to this you know just perhaps the most one of the most embarrassing moments in our nation's history. And, yeah, and Biden's checking his watch.

Well, so then it should be no surprise that on the, you know, three-year anniversary of the cerebral thing that, you know, somebody shows up to lay a wreath at Arlington Cemetery and someone does not. Let's take a guess at who made their appearance and who did not make an appearance Headline reads Trump honors 13 fallen heroes from Afghanistan withdrawal at Arlington and So yeah, so Trump Trump showed up later reef. Here's a quick video Ready? Yeah. Present! Out!

Out! So you have that And meanwhile Let me say this real quick Yeah We haven't had anything That presidential In years Yeah

Like that almost made me emotional Watching it Just because we've had Such a lack of leadership And such Really just spit in the eye From our leadership Towards this country And made me emotional watching it just because we've had such a lack of leadership and such really just spit in the eye from our leadership towards this country like in and let me tell you something man like that pisses me off i've gotten to know him obviously president trump um say whatever you want that man loves america yeah he loves america and you hear half this nonsense from biden and harris

now you know this is uh they're pushing an ideology that is antithetical to what it means to be an american it really i mean that's like the starkest contrast so all this bullshit after they hate america dude they they they don't believe him you You ever talk about equity versus equality? I mean, she's talking about, I mean, this is Marxist stuff. Yeah. Like, that's who they are. Like, they don't really apologize for it anymore. So, yeah, to see a president lay a reef down like that.

And by the way, I don't know if you have it. There's another headline today, which is from the AP, of course, which is now woke, that says Trump tries to tie harris to afghan withdrawal she was bragging about how she was the last guy last person in the room with biden i mean she wanted to be known as somebody who was a close confidant and of biden now the media is willingly allowing her to try to distance herself from separation you know bullshit they brought on the country. It's really, it's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy that anybody would buy it. It's like, dude, what are you talking about? A month and a half ago, you guys were laughing at her.

The people that are now saying, oh, Kamiya, she's a hero. You guys were laughing at her. You had your face in your hands saying, holy shit, this is the worst. This is a disaster. And now you're all trying to pretend to cheer for her like she's some kind of savior. When let's be real, dude, she is a world-class piece of shit. That is it. Biden too. When was the last time we've seen any of the leadership, whether it be the president vice president press secretary any of the people show any respect for this country at all we haven't seen it in years and like dude i i love

this country too as you know yep and watching that having my my dad's dad who he never even met who was killed after he fucking stormed at normandy and he was killed six months later never even met my dad to just see this simple sign of respect it's like it you know what i'm saying like it feels like america's supposed to feel even in the wake of this being a total tragedy you know what i mean yep yep i haven't felt that in a long time. Listen, it also, we're naive. These dictators around the world, they smell weakness. Yeah. And there's a reason why Russia didn't go into Ukraine when Trump was president.

There's a reason why North Korea was backing off. There's a reason why China wasn't saber rattling with Taiwan. There's a reason why Hamas didn't brutally attack Israel on October 7th. Because they knew Trump meant business. And they do not respect this administration. And that Afghanistan

was the poster, man. It was the red light that went up. It said, hey, okay, you could do some shit. Yeah, and we don't, you know, this administration doesn't have their shit together. Bro, it's such a frustrating thing because it doesn't matter what side of you believe, right? Like if you believe Russia or Ukraine

or Palestine or Israel or anything, right? Nobody wanted the smoke. Nobody wanted it, dude. Because they realize, it's like your dad coming home from work. Like we're going to tell dad when you get home from work. Everybody just kept in line. You know what I'm saying?

And dude, the world needs that. That's why they hate this man. What's the story with- Soleimani. It was Soleimani where you sent him a picture of the fucking house? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Joe, he says, we know where you live.

Yeah. And if you, you know, basically fuck around, you're going to find out. Yeah. And he's like, here's where you're at at 9 o'clock at night. Yeah. And then he got up and walked out the room. Yeah. He just got up and left.

What would you do? You would go home and you would say, all right, hey, let's leave these dudes alone. Let's just wait until. Yeah. You would go home and tell your team you'd be like this. Yeah. We had a good talk, man. Everything's good.

Don't worry about that anymore. Yeah. He totally phoned it. He said'd be like this. Yeah, we had a good talk, man. Everything's good. Don't worry about that anymore. Yeah, he totally farted. He said, we're all good. But, I mean, listen, and here's the thing. You know, there's definitely some transitions going. I think more people are realizing that, you know, it's not even just Kamala and Biden. Like, it is the Democrat Party are complete liars, and they have lied about everything. And now you start seeing this massive exodus from the Democrat Party or even people that, you know, maybe not call themselves Democrat, but definitely are more liberal than most

conservatives. You're starting to see this, you know, a bunch of people jump ship. RFK to be one. Yeah, this just happened over the weekend. RFK Jr. Trump to announce other Democrats joining his campaign as well. So during this week's broadcast of FNC's or Fox News Sunday, now former independent president candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he anticipated more Democrats coming along to support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Kennedy, who endorsed Trump last week, suggested the support was partly based

on the former president's desire to make America healthy again. Quote, Wall Street Journal has this, host Shannon Bream said, quote, they say it's to a double-edged sword, essentially, that it may help President Trump to pick up some of your followers if they're willing to go over there, but they warn about what you would do in his administration. They say this RFK Jr., if he's anywhere near the health care or environmental agencies in the Trump administration, look out. Mr. Trump's best response is to thank RFK Jr. for his support. Make no promises about the future and by all means avoid joint campaign appearances you've already had one will you have others will you campaign for president trump

too rich kennedy replied yeah i'm going to be campaigning actively i think president trump is going to make a series of announcements about other democrats who are joining his campaign and you know i want to make america again. And so does President Trump. So those are objectives. And he did make a really, really awesome statement on the MAGA topic, which you alluded to earlier, Andy, which I thought, you know, I mean, obviously I felt like you had a great point. But I mean, that was a very, very well worded representation. It kind of summed it all up. Everything that you have been talking about. Here's his full statement. Kennedy wrote. The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights and women's rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. Quote, make America great again, recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America

that was beginning to confront his darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world's most vibrant middle class, and an idealistic belief, though not consistently applied, in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology, and it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore. Guys, what else we got on this topic?

We could have used that clarification about seven years ago. MAGA. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm just saying, you know, I've always understood that. Oh, yeah, absolutely. You know, but we've allowed the media, by not explaining it to our fellow neighbors, like, hey, man, this doesn't mean let's go back to these times where nobody had any rights and it was only this way or that way.

But it actually means, like, let's get our team together, man. Let's stop losing. Let's go back to being the national champions. You know what I mean? That's what it's about. And everybody has a role in that, And everybody has a role in that. And everybody has a place in that. And I think it was just a very, very well thought out, well worded description that is long overdue.

Well, let's think about like actually what happened when he shocked the world. Right. And won in 2016. What happened after that? We had a secure border. Right. When he left office, we had a 45-year low in illegal immigration. More people were making more money, and it didn't matter your race.

It didn't matter your class, whatever. Everybody was making more money. We were more prosperous. We didn't have all these wars popping up around the world. We were energy dominant. We were expert. Again, they want to make it about joy and all this nonsense. That's like this is fake emotion in people's lives.

That's what they were experiencing. That's what it means to make America great again. Right? Like, yeah, it doesn't matter who you are. You can achieve in this country. And what they want to do now is act like Kamala Harris had nothing to do with any of this stuff. She was the most liberal senator in the whole senate more liberal than bernie sanders she picked a guy who was like the lockdown king in

minnesota that literally was prosecuting people for you know uh stepping outside they were shooting them with paintballs i mean this is like this is a radical group and it is amazing what the media is willing to do with their Trump derangement syndrome, what they're willing to do to cover for her. She has not had an interview in over a month. And that's when she gets exposed. If she's in an interview, right, and you start asking her questions about her positions, she looks ridiculous because she can't explain them.

They're radical to begin with. And you've got the media sort of covering for her. And I guess they think they can pull this off for 70 days. My hope and my belief is the American people are going to see through all this, right? But she went from the least popular. She was less popular than Joe Biden. You look at some of her numbers now

based on some of this polling, which is BS, by the way, because they're oversampling Democrats now. But her favorables have gone up because the Harris team sees this now. So they're going sampling democrats now but her favorables have gone up because and the harris team sees this now so they're going to try to hide her in the basement like they did joe biden in 2020 so the real threat to democracy of course is the party that's tried to jail their political opponent keep guys like robert f kennedy off the ballot on democrat side keep trump off the

ballot on the republican side um throw a guy in prison for the rest of his life, censor Americans, and now act like you shouldn't believe your lying eyes on who this person is. Well, dude, isn't that what George Orwell wrote about in 1984? Yes. You know, I mean, this is exactly like, dude, he's rolling over in his grave being like, I fucking told you guys. This is supposed to be fiction. Yeah.

Dude, you know, what's interesting is these people that say oh trump's a threat to democracy i'm voting for kamala when kamala didn't have a single person vote for her not one to be the you can't come at me with this nonsense that trump is a threat to democracy when not a single person voted for kamala Harris to be the presidential candidate. Doesn't sound very democratic to me. Bro, it's insane. It's not only that, it's unprecedented. Yeah.

Like they've memory hold, you know, the fact of Trump being, you know, the attempted assassination that day and the fist pump, which everybody at that point was like, this is over. Yeah. He's gonna win. Yeah. And memory hold that and substituted now for this thing about Kamala as being some phenomenon. like she's a known quantity and it's not good yeah that's right i

mean but they they can't do it like they're just gonna try to hide this thing but the good news is information is way more diffused because of podcasts like this and a lot of other things people get their information other than cbs nbc yeah those guys are dead, bro. Do you know what I think, though, too, is RFK, like they're trying to keep this guy as, like I think RFK is in serious jeopardy, to be completely honest, because maybe even more than Trump, because we all know how powerful the pharma industry is,

and the pharma industry funds the FDA at nearly 50% of their funding, okay? This guy's trying to get in there and stop that shit and he's trying to actually make our country use real food do all the shit that they've been manufacturing that hurts us as a country he's trying to fix all of that and that's where the most money is made and so i'm really concerned about his safety um you know them saying, oh, well, Trump should run away if he wants to make, what did he say, the health and human services.

No, he's the perfect guy for that. If you want to actually build this country the way that it's supposed to be, healthy, not overly medicated. You know, the amount of medications that are prescribed today are insane and nobody wants to talk about it because everybody's making so much money you know so this guy's stepping in the way of a lot of people's income and a lot of the people that he's stepping in the way of have a lot of money and a lot of resources so well he doesn't even need to have like what's the impact of all this like politically like it doesn't need to be huge but like there's some polling already that shows like basically the RFK junior supporters are breaking now because of his endorsement, like two to one in swing

states. So let's just say he was going to get three to 5% somewhere. Like in Pennsylvania, man, that thing is like a point, right? So it can actually make the difference. And I think, I don't agree with him on a lot of stuff. I agree with him on some stuff, but I do think what he represents are people who are distrustful and they should be of a lot of things. And he was giving voice to a lot of those things. And I think the election breaks down in, in this kind of realignment that's happened, you've got now a multi-ethnic working class base of the Republican Party, which I feel very at home with. That's, as you know, you and I, that's how I grew up. Yeah.

And so when I was at the convention, I was like, man, normal people, Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock, this is my kind of convention. It's very different. You wouldn't have seen that like years ago. So I think it's a good thing that he's come on board. I think it's a good thing. We talk about unity all the time. Tulsi Gabbard, I don't agree with her on everything, but the fact that Trump's reaching out, I think that's a good thing.

I think the difference between people like RFK and Tulsi, which I love Tulsi, but yeah, obviously we're going to have disagreements about how we can see. That's American, dude. That's like, hey, man, I think we should do it like this how we could see that's American do right. That's like hey, man I think we should do it like this Why do we should do it like this and I think the difference between these kind of Democrats and then the Marxist Democrats Yeah, is that their intent is genuine? Yeah, they might not see it the same way that I see it or you see it

But but they don't shut down the other side No, they're but their intent is I want the best outcome for the country. So do I. Yes, exactly, dude. And that's what the whole entire political system has lost. And I think, to your point about them pumping up Kamala, I actually, because, like, dude, we see this in the interviews and things that we're tracking for the show. But I think people have realized how much worse their financial situation is. And when they go up there with Oprah and, you know, what's that girl's name?

The rapper. Megan Thee Stallion and all these things. And they go up there and they give these speeches that are like touchy-feely and feel good. Because let's be real, some of these people are excellent speakers. And they're up there making these promises and it sounds really good and it sounds very American. But they've witnessed this not go this way over and over and over again. And I actually think that by them doing this overly uh pump up of kamala it's actually exposing them for exactly who they are it's blowing up in their face it's fake and yeah and i think if

there's one word to describe her it's it's fake or phony whatever yeah that's who she is she's and i think that's right i think they're going to get exposed on this because there's no depth there like there's there's nothing and i think we've talked about this before covid like that covid times really revealed like who these people are and it isn't about anything other than power and control and so their willingness to like sub out a candidate without any votes that's just about power and control because they want the permanent washington the permanent establishment these agencies to run your life and now you get to a figurehead kind of president so it doesn't even really matter anymore and if you actually care about democracy you should be really worried

about that right but the media isn't because you know it's about trump and that convention they had they mentioned trump's name out of whatever several hundred times it was their only talking point and acting like she's not the incumbent like this administration has destroyed livelihoods because of their ideology like and and people are making less money and you know they're not as safe and all those things that are the reality they just want to try to have a sideshow here a little bit and distract people and when they go up there and they say joy and unity and all of these things and all of these people have seen the different these people are not stupid they think that we're all stupid i know join my wallet bro they think their own voter base is stupid already and their

own voter base is starting to get insulted about the amount of you know fake shit blatant lies yeah like i like after the because like when i watched the dnc i was definitely like damn dude i hope people don't buy this but then i watched people's reaction who are democrats and they're like yeah well those great speeches aren't gonna help my pocketbook right and i'm like all right now we're starting to understand here yeah we're on it man guys jumping on this conversation let us know what you guys think down in the comments with that being said let's go cruise some. We've got a couple here for us. I love how your job is to make sure this thing doesn't get off the rails.

I do my best. Somebody's got to do it. Somebody's got to do it. It's certainly not me. I've got a couple comments here. Let's check these out. This first one comes from at Brian Foster, 7942. DJ's laugh is my ringtone.

I don't get the That's right. Tell everybody. Dude, I forget all the shit that's actually been put out that's come true. Bro, listen, man. I don't get the respect I deserve. I'm just being real.

Appreciate you guys for being real ass fans. Keep liking. Keep commenting. Make sure you guys hit that bell notification on the YouTube to stay up to date with the latest episodes from LAF. With that being said, let's get to our second headline. Let's talk about some freedom of speech here. This is a very interesting, bizarre story that's coming out right now. Let's dive into it.

Headline number two reads, Justice, Europe style, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested due to lack of moderation on platform. This is insane. Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France on Saturday after his private jet landed at Le Bourget Airport. French media reported Durov was arrested under a warrant related to, quote, various violations of his encrypted messaging service. According to a report by Le Mans, the 39 year old who became a French citizen in 2021 is expected to be brought into court on Sunday. French authorities are accusing Durov of a, quote, lack of moderation involving Telegram. The messaging app is reportedly under attack in Europe for the viral circulation of false information. Quote, Telegram has shielded itself from state moderation rules at a time when the European Union and United States are putting pressure on major platforms to remove illegal content. Mamon reported, um, Francis, uh,

O F M I N or office to combat violence against minors. Interestingly enough, issued a warrant, um, as part of an investigation into quote offenses ranging from fraud, drug trafficking, cyber bullying, organized crime, glorification of terrorism and fraud.

The source told the French newspaper quote enough with telegrams and punity, a French investigator said. Durov, who doesn't often sit down for interviews, spoke with Tucker Carlson in April, telling the former Fox News host that the Russian government was the first entity to demand that he censor speech. He is a Russian. He's a native Russian to censor speech via his own platform, VK, in an effort to quell protest in the country. Quote, we were requested to ban these protest organizing communities, and I refused, Durov explained. But that did not go too well with

the government. Now, Tucker Carlson did comment on all of this two days ago, saying, quote, Pavel Durov left Russia when the government tried to control the social media company Telegram. But in the end, it wasn't Putin who arrested him for allowing the public to exercise free speech. It was a Western country, a Biden administration ally and enthusiastic NATO members that locked him away. Pavel Durov sits in a French jail tonight. A living warning to any platform owner who refuses to censor the truth at the behest of governments and intel agencies. Darkness is descending fast on the formerly free world. And then he linked his video to that interview. Now, it's interesting.

I didn't know much about this guy. I am familiar with the app. And it's a fairly large app. A lot of people use this. They have over 900 million active users on this platform. Now, you look into mainstream media for more information on this guy. And, of course, it's the typical thing, try to dog him. Apparently, he has like over 100 biological children or some shit, which, all right.

How do you even do that? It's impressive. Yeah. It is definitely impressive. That's been working. He's got that low body fat, bro. He wants to pay low taxes. You know, but there was an interesting person that chimed in on this uh conversation um uh do you guys remember uh uh vinman lieutenant colonel vinman um women uh he he gave a very

interesting warning to musk um says that musk should be nervous after Telegram CEO was arrested. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who made waves as a key witness in the impeachment trial against former President Trump. This is the guy that lied and helped with the Steele dossier. Oh, yeah. Just for reference. Issued a warning to Elon Musk on Sunday after Telegram messaging app CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France. Here was his comment, his tweet. He says, while Durov holds French citizenship, is arrested for violating French law that has broader implications for other social media, including Twitter.

There's a growing intolerance for platforming disinfo and malign influence and a growing appetite for accountability.k should be nervous um i think you should be nervous that's what i think you should be nervous fuck face okay uh we've been dealing with your bullshit for years and years and years and years and years and and if you think there's not a bunch of citizens making lists of people that should be nervous and that you're not on it you should probably fucking be nervous about that yeah i'm sick of these people bro this is what yeah what's scary about all this is this is actually what they want like they want people arrested yeah for i know free speech and in um well the missouri versus biden thing that

would kind of lawsuit i filed when i was ag and Bailey did a great job, is exposed it here. Like, it doesn't matter. Like, there's nothing. Like, think about it. There's no, they were willing to throw the other party's candidate in jail. They're willing to silence millions of Americans

because they want absolute control, right? And if you eliminate dissent, which is what this is, if you eliminate dissent, it makes it a lot easier to you eliminate dissent it makes a lot easier to go do that that's right so i do think that you're going to see more of these efforts particularly in europe but thankfully in this country of something called the constitution right which is supposed to prohibit this um but we better stay on guard i mean i just actually sent a letter out to google and facebook Friday asking, what are what is your criteria now? What are you doing? Because we're approaching election season. Right.

And so they can say all the right things as long as they want to to really get to the critical time when a lot of people are making their own decisions. And so the American people deserve to know this. But this is scary stuff. I posted about it, too, on my socials it's uh people should be aware of this because this is where it's all headed if you don't have enough people stand up and say no way yeah dude i think this is a hundred percent him trying to intimidate people like zuckerberg musk and all the other platform owners into continuing to play along with the government yep you know and if you watch zuckerberg's interview and i know a lot of people don't like Zuckerberg, I don't like a lot of the shit

that he's done, but he seems to be moving in a better direction, at least a little bit. He's still got a lot of problems with censorship on his platform. But, if you listen to his Rogan interview

that he did, he made it very clear that, like, hey, this wasn't us, this was them telling us to do it and we had to do it and i will bet you that if we once this is all come full circle and all the truth has really risen to the surface we're going to find out that he's been threatened with arrest himself that's what i think we're going to find out well Well, you had literally Elvis Chan, which is a hard name to ever forget, who was an FBI guy in Northern California, go to these social media companies and say, get ready for a Russian hack and leak operation.

And he talked about it being Hunter Biden laptop. So they had the laptop. They knew it was real. They acted like it was fake. In public. Yeah. Ahead of time. Yeah. And then once the story broke. Oh, you're saying they told fucking Facebook it was fake um in public time yeah ahead of time yeah and then once the story

broke oh you're saying they told fucking facebook it was pre-bunked it yeah absolutely so it's interesting so we were going to take the depot of chan i'm convinced that one of the reasons why zuckerberg came out and said that is because it was going to come out that there are these meetings that were being held between the fbi and social media companies right by the way this is not some vast right-wing conspiracy no this is actually happened right you were on this yes and if it wasn't for that case and if it wasn't for twitter files you wouldn't know it had ever happened that's what's scary about it so like that's why i think pushing back against all this stuff actually matters because zuckerberg starts to hear from the other side.

Right. Like all this stuff gets exposed. The best thing you can do is shine a light on this stuff because these guys operate the best in the shadows and through intimidation because they know it's wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Because they don't want people to know that they're trying to influence this stuff. Right. But that's but now in Europe, I guess you got people actually being arrested.

And I do think that if the Democrat I mean, that's again, man, this election is so important. I don't make it all about the elect, but like, cause the ideas matter a lot, but they can't get away with this stuff. No. You know what I mean? Like there has to be a consequence to it all. And if they can just actually keep going about doing what they've been doing, that's a bad sign for the country.

For sure. It really is. So for sure. I'll say there's just even on the matter of just free speech because like i'm familiar with telegram we did some work uh back in 2020 during the george floyd protests and uh was able to do some work and telegram was heavily involved on that right and i think it's very very important especially for you know the red white and blue conservatives when we talk about free speech we have to really understand what that means right like it's not just i can say whatever i want it's so we have to really understand what that means, right? Like, it's not just, I can say whatever I want.

It's that you have to listen to ideas that you don't necessarily agree with. Absolutely, 1,000%. Yeah. And that's what's so important. And so, like, while, you know, I may not agree or like that, you know, people can go on these apps and say these crazy things and have these ideas and collude and conspire. Yeah, like little kids should transition their gender. Right. I don't like that. you know i'm saying but and you know like in these groups like they were using telegram

as one of the main sources to communicate and and put together these large protests that affected us here in st louis i'm sure other places around the country you know but it's like ultimately though like it's still free speech and it has to be protected and so like while i may not agree with what you're saying you have the right to say it you know like and should there be consequences for of course but guess what that stuff's already in place i can't go into a movie theater and you'll fire right like i can't incite certain things like those things are in place but the basis of it you know you if we're going to say that we want free speech we have to respect it for everybody i agree and look the the um the idea behind that is that in that marketplace of ideas the best ideas went out so you you you combat

speech you don't like with more speech right and ultimately you try to win the argument you can only do that if you have a platform by which you can do that which is why they got section 230 protections because they weren't acting as a publisher, picking and choosing. They were supposed to be an open platform, like the old-school town square, right? Where Lincoln and Douglas are on the same stage, on the same platform, talking and trying to convince. That is the whole basis of it all.

So the minute they start kind of picking and choosing, you don't get to be a platform anymore. That's the heart of the private side of the debate. But the government has no business, no business telling you what you can hear, what you can say, or what you can think. That's crazy. So, yeah, ultimately, you protect people's right to say things you find really objectionable, terrible, abhorrent. Like, you protect that because it might be then this time, but it's you the next time, right? And that's the scary thing about tyranny

like it just starts steamrolling man and if you're in the way you might have been cheering them on in the five yard line but now they're on the 20 and you're next yeah so dude and it's it's interesting because these people will call anything they disagree with now hate speech or disinformation yeah that's right yeah and they'll try to get it like categorized as some sort of violation of law like bro just because you don't like what i'm saying doesn't mean it's hate speech i'm not a criminal yeah and uh i'll give you some hate speech if you want it yeah no shit well and dude i wouldn't be honest like the this guy here like coming out and like sort of threatening like that like i think they're forgetting where they are who they are and i also think they're forgetting that they have names and addresses.

And if you guys continue to push on people the way that you push on people, there's going to be people out there that fucking understand that. Like I can't believe this guy would stand up in a public forum and even say that. After literally being one of the key players in the downfall of this country in the last five or eight years. It's insane, dude. Well, think about that for a minute. And the tide has switched.

They had, and Obama proved it, they spied on a presidential candidate, right? Bro, they made up. Fake dossier about, and again, we memory all this stuff. If this was a Republican, Richard Nixon went down for much less than that. But like it's totally cool because we don't like Trump or, you know, it's a Democrat. Like it's insane.

Dude, think of the damage that's been done to the country because of that narrative. It went on for eight years. Yeah. It made the country completely divided over a fake dossier that Hillary Clinton had manufactured. She got a slap on the wrist. Dude, it's insane. Well, think about it. If there would have been a report of some Central American country

where the opposing party leader was spied upon, and they tried to discredit him, and they tried to impeach him, and then they tried to throw him in jail, and then they tried to discredit him and they tried to impeach him. And then they tried to throw him in jail and then they tried to bankrupt him. And then, you know, like you would be like our state department would be warning us about that place. Like, be careful. Don't go there because you don't really have a system that you can trust. Right. And so this is what they've done.

They've done all of this. I think that's why we've kind of crossed the Rubicon, guys. I think we're no longer just debating why this stuff's so important for people to get involved. We're no longer like Tip O'Neill, Ronald Reagan arguing about like marginal tax rates, which are important debates to have. This is different. This is about total control. It is about, I will tell you, like we talked about my first 18 months, one of the things that's most, and I stood up and objected. Chuck Schumer tried to have some bogus rules on this impeachment thing from yorkist and i was the senator that stood up and said i object which means he couldn't do this sham thing which was 22 times in our nation's history if an

impeachment came over to the senate there was a trial every single time except this time because schumer didn't want the news cycle so all the democrats voted to just dismiss the case and regardless of what you think about it he was supposed to either be voted on for removal or acquittal. That didn't happen. So don't think for a second, if they ever get 51 votes in the Senate and they got the House and Kamala Harris gets elected, they will end the filibuster and they will pack the court. They will add D.C. to the union. They get two extra senators for that. This is about power that's right it's about permanent power and they are ruthless look they just that's what the immigration's about it's about immigration tell me tell me and people into voters they're already working on that yeah right and they just literally did a coup on the sitting president of the united states to put in

somebody who is wildly unpopular but they can fluff her up here who didn't get a single vote and by the way never made it to iowa when she ran yeah like you know like say what you want about bernie sanders or trump or obama they had a grassroots kind of following like people are inspired i may not agree but they're inspired nobody was inspired by kamala harris like she didn't get to iowa no so like this thing is all it's it's like a i don't know it's like a matrix develop development and they have to lose like they can't win doing this so they look man i i think they're gonna do anything that they possibly can legal illegal doesn't matter to keep trump from coming back and i think we're terrified of it yeah and and dude that includes black swan events that includes you

know war like they've tried it all they're trying it all and uh so a lot of the stuff you guys talk about which is what i think is would be fascinating which is why i'm obviously doing everything i can for trump won't have a sec like this would be the second which is why I'm obviously doing everything I can. Trump won't have a second, like this would be the second term, right? There's no reelection. Knowing what he knows now, I think he comes in and is the ultimate disruptor. And that is exactly what we need right now.

We need a real reset because a lot of times, quite frankly, Republican or Democrat, they come in in this continuation of the administrative state, like it's gotten bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. And I think he's uniquely situated. It'd certainly be my pitch. I think he's willing to do it to come in and totally change the game. Right. And that's a big deal because you got a lot of people coming at you, but here's the thing. They're coming at him now. Like it's actually

like they've tried, they've tried to take them out and now i think it's his opportunity to sort of like fix things and they know that that's why they're terrified of this thing because they know if he gets in like there's going to be a massive disruption and that is a good thing for the country right like real people i think also you know they are trying to paint trump as this, you know, ridiculous dictator character. And I think they should be considering themselves fairly lucky that it is Trump. And it's not someone who's actually way more extreme than Trump, because this is the kind of situation that does birth someone who is so extreme that they can destroy the country as well and so you know i don't believe that trump is that guy i think in fact my criticism of trump is that he's not extreme enough which is

probably a good reason why i'm not president you know i'm saying because like dude i would do a lot more shit than he's doing uh but the other thing that's true andy is i want people to understand it won't end with trump no people think this is unique to him yeah whoever look what they were doing to jd vance yeah listen jd and i are friends we came in together he everybody's you know a lot of people are familiar with his story he grew up with nothing like he's a normal guy like say what you like he's a normal dude in this whole like he's a weirdo is like actually is a very insulting to America. It's a dystopian way to kind of turn the table on a guy that's normal.

Right. That's what they're trying to do. And so it's him. It could be me. It could be anybody who's in those positions like they know the playbook now. Right. And so it's not going to be just with Trump. This lawfare thing is real. They've utilized that.

They've weaponized the Justice Department. And you really need somebody in there, I think, is going to change that dynamic otherwise i agree it's you know i agree i thought i thought they liked weird stuff like the left well that's the irony of the they don't think that's they don't think that's weird yeah i actually think the fact that they call jd vance weird is a real insult to the salt of the earth americans that exist in this country these people are so out of touch bro they don't know what a working class family looks like they don't know what it's like for you know someone to grow up in a trailer park or to be split into different families their whole life they don't understand that shit bro these people are completely out of touch and when

i hear them call him weird what i hear is we think all of you guys are weird yeah well you're you're the deplorable that's right you guys are trailer trash You're the deplorables. That's right. You guys are trailer trash America and we're the elites. That's what I hear. Guys, jumping on this conversation, let us know what you guys think about this down in the comments. That being said, let's get to our third and final headline,

guys. Headline number three. Dr. Fauci-Alchi. Dr. Alchi-Fauci. Did you guys hear what happened to him we get the monkey pox no west now oh that's nile i'm surprised it wasn't the monkey though i mean i think there needs to be a change in the name what would you call it i don't know the wn virus i think that's offensive to people who live in west nile region. I agree. Yeah, you probably made this up too. Let's start a movement right now. Yes. But yeah, so Dr. Anthony Fauci hospitalized for six days with West Nile virus.

So former coronavirus czar Anthony Fauci was hospitalized for six days after contracting the West Nile virus, a spokesperson confirmed. Fauci, the ex-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is recovering at home after returning from the hospital and is expected to be OK. The spokesperson told CNN on Saturday, while most people, 80 percent who are infected with West Nile virus, do not experience symptoms. The CDC said that approximately 20 percent suffer from an array of symptoms like fever, head and body aches, vomiting, diarrhea, and rashes. Around 1 in 150 people with the virus develop more serious symptoms that impact the central nervous system and experience illnesses like encephalitis. What is that? Encephalitis.

Yeah, encephalitis. Encephalitis. Encephalitis. Encephalitis. Okay. Remember that line in office space? She was like, not going to work here anymore. Fuck, man, it got me.

Around one in 150 people with the virus develop more serious symptoms that impact the central nervous system and experience illnesses like encephalitis or meningitis. About 10 percent of people who develop those severe illnesses die, according to the CDC. Now, Fauci's 83 is at a higher risk to get worse symptoms due to his age. Quote, there is no specific treatment for West Nile. The health agency said, but listed rest fluids and pain medications as methods to relieve symptoms. The virus is most commonly spread through mosquito bites, though it is not clear how Fauci contracted it. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, over 2200 cases are reported in the US each year.

And apparently there has been a larger uptick in the area around New York City. Now, it's very interesting that this comes out. Probably some of those mosquitoes they're letting loose with Bill Gates mosquitoes. Yeah, for sure. It's definitely the Gates mosquitoes. Yeah, for sure. I'm surprised you don't have monkey pox, though, with all that ass to mouth he does. Just saying.

Sorry, Eric. with all that ass to mouth he does just saying sorry eric well i mean it got me thinking man because like you know fauci hasn't really been in the news lately and you really haven't heard much on covet but i thought this was interesting that this timing of this article and then these next two articles i'm about to show you guys it's very very interesting um apparently covet cases they are on the rise just in time for more boosters to come out. Oh, I can't wait. I cannot wait. And not only that, now this was really interesting

because just a day before this headline, this headline comes out. Biden administration will restart free at-home COVID-19 test program. Oh, sweet. Like we forgot about them just manufacturing the data numbers with the PCR rates with upcycle PCR tests. Bro.

Must have forgot. They're bringing this back. And, you know, they say free, but we are paying for it. Everybody's paying for the Biden administration next month. Next month. Interesting timing. What? So just two.

OK, got it. Free stuff. Free stuff. I wonder if they're doing the fries and the burgers. Oh, man. Because I definitely get a booster for that. Okay. Got it. Free stuff. Free stuff. I wonder if they're doing the fries and the burgers. Oh, man. Because I definitely get a booster for that. Yeah. Yeah.

The Biden administration next month will relaunch a program for every American to order free COVID-19 tests through the mail. They can get that along with their ballot for the election. The election administration official said during a briefing Friday that households will be able to order for free test through the COVID test dot gov website. Once it launches again in late September, the test will be mailed directly to people's homes. Quote, these tests will help families and their loved ones stay safe this fall and winter season and avoid the winter of death and destruction. Yeah, because, you know, because we're still waiting for that. I'm not. What was it? A plague of the unvaccinated wasn't that what he called yeah i'm not even here right now i died three winters ago yeah um by the way like it's it's i mean it's talking about stuff getting memory hold they were boarding up basketball hoops bro they were filling skate

parks with sand yeah like you couldn't like they were you know like an arrested dudes on the beach walking outside without a mask on bro that dude wallace was shooting people they had a do you know this yeah you have a tip line remember you could yeah but they were the fucking police were going up and down the street shooting people with paint balls that were in their own yards oh my god get in your house that's insane it is totally insane it's insane um and so you know we talk a lot about these buttons that they can press right like i mean there's war there's you know um cyber attacks which i think they've ran multiple tests on in the last few months but we talk about these you know big red buttons that they could be

pressing i don't know if this is uh one that they're pushing just to see what the reaction and what's the response going to be from people. If people are buying it. I don't know. But they're definitely they definitely seem to be on track just in time for the elections. Guys, what do you guys got on this, man? I fucking hate this guy. Yeah. Light your Fauci candle.

I guess this guy to light your Fauci candle. Yeah, I did. We took we took his deposition and again i don't wish you know any ill health effects including wn virus which i think is what we should call it now but this guy in in a deposition that lasted all day was as squirrely as you can get i think it's only the second time he ever has deposition taken the one the one big takeaway other than saying i don't recall like 178 times or something was i may have told you this story before the court reporter sneezed or something yeah and he told her to put a mask on this is in november of 2022 like this wasn't like march of 2020 which by the way we showed him an email we asked him you know do you think masks are effective he's like oh you know yeah well here's

an email that you sent to a friend of yours in april of 2020 when she said hey i'm getting on a plane do you think i should wear a mask he's like no they're not effective at all like this guy is the biggest charlatan phony. Right. He lied to people. He was getting on TV and he just loved the attention. I think that was, he loved it. And you look at like guys who were in these county offices, even here or whatever, like they just,

they loved being in front of, you know, the camera telling people what they could do or they couldn't do. And there's nothing new about that, particularly in the history of the world. But I don't think we've seen anything, not in our lifetimes, anything like that here. I mean, looking back, dude, the mask thing was an exercise in compliance.

That was a, that was a, we want everybody to see that everybody's with it. And all of the people that disagree with it had to do it so it made it appear like it was a real thing if they hadn't put that pressure on the masking thing like that you would have seen that two out of every 10 people were wearing a mask because everybody who was wearing one was like this is bullshit right so it was to create a perception that everybody believed that this was going on. And then we just saw them build it from there on.

You know, the next thing COVID ended the next day was Ukrainian flags everywhere. The Ukraine thing. Next thing is Palestine. Israel. Next thing. Yeah. Yeah. And people like the truth is this guy was telling people, don't see your family for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Yeah, bro. There's people that still do that. Right. It's insane. And we're talking about how the media, like dissidents versus establishment. We talked about the propping up Harris. Remember what all the so-called fact checkers and verified teams were doing? Like if you said masks weren't effective because they weren't and there was no peer-reviewed study that said they were that is what they chose to cover to try to humiliate

people who came out and said things i mean this is like that's the kind of corruption when people talk about like once you see you can't unsee yeah i think more people dj to your point are seeing this stuff now and fauci was like the head of the snake for For sure. Fucking rat, man. Fucking rat. Guys, jumping on this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments. They tried to give me a PCR test when I was in the hospital both times this last month. Just recently, really? Yeah.

For those of you that don't know, I had a couple medical issues. I had a monkey pox. No, I didn't have the monkey pox. I'm trying hard to get it, but it just hasn't happened yet. No, I had a little intestinal obstruction from some food that I ate. But either way, they tried to give me the PCR test. I wouldn't let them do it. No.

Do you remember they had, people forget about this now too, every night they would show COVID numbers or something. Yeah, case numbers. And they would talk about children in the er with covid what they didn't tell you was there were kids and we had neighbors like who had a broken arm and they went to the er for that and then they required a test and they tested positive they weren't sick from it no but they wouldn't let them leave by the way until they tested negative which is a little orwellian but anyway they would put that in the numbers of kids in the er with covid and you would think well there's this pandemic of kids getting covid which was totally bullshit but why would

they do that there was an incentive to do that they were getting the hospitals got paid more with every positive case the that hospital stood to make him 15 20 000 off of that we had russell serasky on talking about the pcr test you know that the fucking guy who invented the pcr test magically died right before covid started and then on top of it the pcr test is adjustable so if you turn the cycle rate up outside of the range where it's actually effective it'll detect anything so any thing when you turn that up like any microscopic trace of anything which we all have in our bodies at all times will test positive they were testing people who were killed in automobile accidents right at post-mortem and then counting it as a positive test and a death and then they were saying they died of covid yes yes

yeah there was 30 people forget that dude like people have completely forgotten the amount of bullshit that happened during that time like bro it was crimes against humanity dude well there was a i remember the story of uh i believe it was in detroit somewhere in michigan uh there was a medical examiner uh who whistle blew on this she said that, you know, she had two bodies that came in. They were together, right? Same issue that came in. She read the death report from the hospital. So these people died of COVID, right?

She unzips the body bag. And in her report, she said it is very clear that these people died from GSWs, which are gunshot wounds. And they listed those people as COVID death. Yeah. Yeah. And they wouldn't, if you tried to push, because we did a little bit, with COVID or for COVID. Like died with COVID or for COVID.

There's a difference. With COVID or from COVID. Or from COVID. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Or from COVID. Boy, they didn't want to get into that conversation. Yeah.

Because that had to do with money. Yep. That's right, man. It's ridiculous, man. It's ridiculous. My daughter had an asthma attack on Saturday, so i had to take her to urgent care and the first thing they tried to give her was a covid test brother i've been in i've you know i have afib so i usually end up in the hospital once twice a year with afib and i haven't been asked to take covid tests until

this last time like that for a couple years now they haven't been doing it now all of a sudden they're doing it again so when they were like again i don't relive all this but it's important like for historical purposes the the quarantine policy remember like if you were in a classroom first of all kids like you were more likely to die of a lightning strike than you were of covid right so like it was you were more twice as likely to die a dog attack. But like those are the real numbers. But the truth is these kids were being quarantined for two weeks, two weeks out of school. Once they let them back into school, if someone in their classroom tested positive, like they didn't even need to test positive themselves. This stuff was like totally off the rails.

And this is the United States of America. Right. Right. We trust in the science. Trust the science. That's the science. Not that science, though. Yeah. Not that. Not that guy. Not that science, though. Not your science.

Not that male female science. Yeah, not that science. That's not science. He is the science, right? Remember? Yeah. Some of these fucking assholes, man. Guys, jump in on this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments. With that being said, let's get to our final segment of the show. We have thumbs up

or dumb as fuck. That's where we bring a headline in. We talk about it. It gets one of those two options. So with the science theme, let's stay on top of that. Our thumbs up or dumb as fuck headline reads, a company will freeze your dead body until it's reanimated years later. But it comes with a hefty price. Let's see what we think about this, guys.

Freeze dry. Nope. Yep. Dumb as fuck. Is that? Yeah, yeah. Bro, Ted Williams did this. I think Walt Disney, too.

Walt Disney did this. Well, that was cryo. I think this is a little, they changed the game on this one a little bit. All right. So let's dive into this. New York Post article reading. Chill out.

A high, I love the dad jokes they put in there they're great chill out yeah so of course I laugh at it a high tech startup is giving

wrote that a high tech startup is giving people the option to cryogenically freeze their corpses in hopes that they may be revived one day in the distant future tomorrow bio a berlin-based company is charging a pretty penny 222 000 222 603 to exact, plus a 55 monthly membership fee. No way. The monthly fee's got me. There's no way.

Yeah. Well, first, that's a very specific number. Why is it that, like, 22603? Can we just make it flat? Just make it flat. But, yeah, to put bodies and body parts on ice brains alone cost eighty three thousand four hundred seventy three dollars. Quote, personally, I believe that within my lifetime, I'm currently 40 years old. We may witness the safe cryo preservation and reanimation of complex organisms.

Co-founder Fernando Azevedo, Pharaoh Fennaro told the Daily Mail, quote, For some, the primary motivation is the fear of dying. Cryo preservation offers them hope and a sense of security, providing a potential path to extend their lives. So far, the company claims that six people and five pets have gotten the big chill. And there are 650 people on the waiting list with an average age of 36. Quote, none of them are expecting to die anytime soon, he told the Daily Mail. How does it work? Tomorrow Bio offers what they called field cryo protection, in which they begin the cryo preservation process immediately after a patient is declared legally dead using our retrofitted ambulances, which function as mobile surgery rooms.

The company claims to be the only one worldwide to do so. Pinero added that a corpse's bodily fluids are replaced by, quote, essentially medically. Wait, Pinero's doing this? What? Yeah. What? All I wanted was a sandwich, man. But they replace your body fluids by, quote, essentially medical grade antifreeze to keep from irreversible cold damage. The temperatures are dropped to around minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit

over a little more than a week before the body is stored in a long steel container containing liquid nitrogen for long-term storage. If a person is successfully revived after the Captain American procedure and their investment hasn't been fully used in treatment, they get the remaining money back tomorrow bio cites a successful example of similar treatments to preserve a rabbit's kidney here is uh this is a picture inside of the the ambulance that they have it's especially looks like they got a person in there it looks like they got something in there yeah um yeah i i don't know about this i already gave my answer man didn't change after yeah

yeah yeah i agree and it frees from panera man that sounds a little yeah unsafe i'm okay on this you're gonna do it no no i'm i'm not i don't think i'm with this dude i think we i think we legitimately live in a time where I think people our age, Eric and I, I think we will see people's life expectancy drastically extended in our lifetime. I think people will, by the time we're older, we will see people living to 120, 130 years old i actually am not convinced that's not the normal lifespan of a human being and that we are potentially squashed into a lifespan that makes more sense for the medical industry that's my personal opinion but i know that's crazy but i mean the stuff they give us is just as damaging as it is as it is helpful and uh i was talking to zoltan from five finger who's a brilliant dude and he was he was like on that thing as well he's like bro all we got to do is just keep keep alive and they'll keep

us alive but if you look at like people who take care of themselves who are 70 years old today versus like when we were kids like it's a pretty big difference man I saw something um so I'm 49. I saw something like Wilford brindley was my age during when he made cocoon that's what i'm saying dude so like a lot of these people who like when we were kids you know 45 years old was like you had gray you were like an old man and now there's people you know that are in their 60s like uh your buddy who used to be a cop who was out there training, he's 60 years old. Kevin? Yeah, Kevin.

Kevin Minor. 60 years old. Bro, he's jacked. I'm like, dude. What? Well, yeah, black don't crack. But I'm just saying. Yeah.

I'm just saying, man. That dude's a specimen for 60 years old. That's unbelievable. He's in better shape than almost anybody I know. It's going to be interesting where this takes us, but I'm not. Let's go back to the picture of these guys. You believe those guys? Those motherfuckers playing Call of Duty, bro.

By the way, it kind of looks like a burger place. Yeah, that's right. It does. They don't even have doctor and shit written on the jackets. No. Those are paid actors. Yeah. i'm not with it man you gotta if you're gonna sell me you better look a little smarter i'll say this too and we got to be careful you know because i do believe walt didn't disney is uh crowd preserved yeah right but here's the problem native of missouri

by the way is he really missouri yeah well here's the issue with that i mean because he was old when i mean he grew up in a different time in America. You got to be careful waking him back up. Oh, yeah. That'd be a whole shock. Dude, no shit. If he saw some of these Disney movies now, he might be freaking out. Bro, well, it is true.

What's all these boys doing in my movies? You know what I'm saying? It is true that Walt Disney was rumored to be racist anti-semite you see waking up be like what the fuck Gabby come on say it Gabby come especially if this guy's waking them up man I'm just saying. Just imagine that. No thanks. By the time I'm done, I'm done, bro.

I've had enough. Yeah, it's like this. I got a shot clock, and I don't know what exactly it is. I'm good. Hopefully the veil between this world and the next that we're all there doing broadcasts in heaven someday. I'm also a believer, so I'm not afraid of that. I'm not afraid of that. So. I'm not afraid of that. Yeah.

So I wouldn't want to stay here, man. I'm actually kind of looking forward to that other time. You know? All right. I didn't kill myself, though, just so you guys know. It wasn't me. Start looking up three-lettery places. All right, man.

Well, sweet. Well, guys, Andy, Senator Schmidt. It was fun, man. Yeah. That's all I got. Thank you so much, brother. It's great to see you, man. Love you guys.

Love your audience, man. And I'll stop by again, but thanks for having me. All right, brother. All right, guys. Don't forget. Don't be a hoe. Share the show. Yeah.

Went from sleeping on the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a pole. Fuck a stove. Counted millions in a cold. Bad bitch. share the show.
