I didn't think it was COVID because I got it like a malaise and like shit with a little throat thing. And yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't think it was COVID because I got it. We were away in Palm Springs, me and the wife, Francesca Fiorentini.

And yeah, I was just running, running my ass ragged, celebrating her birthday, cooking, blowing up balloons with lots of COVID inside of them.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And didn't I thought I was just tired. And then when I tested positive, I was like, oh, OK, so this is COVID. Well, it's not as bad as it was you know so the point is people out there it's a plandemic joe rogan's right you know all you got to do is you got to eat some raw meat and then liver yeah yeah yeah straight liver straight lives like hannibal lecter style with some fava beans and a nice tea. Exactly. I heard that the beans and anything that's not liver actually cancels out the liverness, the manliness of the liver.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Oh, damn. That's crazy. Just something that, you know, I've heard from my doctor, the liver king. Yeah. He's a good doctor. He looks great, by the way. He looks great. It does look good. Healthiest looking man i've ever seen what is it there's a lot of like people who claim to be like health
Starting point is 00:08:33 like gurus who look like total shit and i'm like yeah this is so transparent it's so on the nose like there's that one billionaire who was like i'm taking you know uh uh three million dollars a day and like supplements and young baby blood to look younger and he keeps aging backwards into an actual vampire yeah he keeps taking pictures of himself and i'm like do you look at the pictures once you take them you look like dog shit my dude i've never seen a weirder looking guy yeah this picture of liver king he looks like he's like drinking himself to death i know okay yeah liver king doesn't look great oh yeah i mean look at he's just like god it's like you can see his blood pressure. You're not supposed to be able to see it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:28 He might be the first person to burst like a water balloon at some point. Just the thickest blood comes out very slowly. Right, exactly. Is this Nickelodeon gag? What the fuck? Or it looks like those 120 frames per second videos videos of a balloon or water balloon being popped where like the rubber just explodes around the fluid shape and then it turns into a puddle. Yeah, that looks great. I think it would be a mound.
Starting point is 00:09:56 His blood seems like it would be so viscous that he wouldn't turn into a puddle. He would be more of like a jello somethingello something yeah he's just all coagulated in there anyways we will see matt we really appreciate you being here we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today uh such as bone bone bone bone bone bone face uh neo-nazi covered in tattoos who is i don't know unbefitting of a modern fashionable neo-nazi because the the neo-nazi community seems to be expelling him yeah so we'll talk about that yeah tough time for them for them. Tough time for neo-Nazis. Tough time for Boneface.
Starting point is 00:10:46 We'll talk about the expanded child tax credit. We're now starting to see the evidence of how good it was for America, for Americans. But nobody's really fighting for it to bring it back after Congress cut it off. And hey, speaking of Congress, we're going to talk about Lauren Boebert. Lauren Boebert. Boebert. Who took in a performance of musical theater. Hey, it's me, Bobo.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I'm here at the theater watching Dancy. That's going to be my Lauren Boebert impression. She killed it. She is, yeah. I don't know. It almost seems like a bit what she's doing because she was smoking her whole life is a bit she's yeah was she she was vaping and yelling at beetlejuice the whole time singing and talking to the characters and taking video well uh the thing
Starting point is 00:11:41 was happening like very drunk behavior i don't know maybe that's what was happening all of that plenty more but first matt lieb two matt enter one matt lieb we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are so something i recently searched was women's powerlifting world records. Then that's because, you know, I'm on Twitter a lot. And ever since Elon Musk took over, he has made the algorithm only push Nazi talking points. And one of them was from like the, you know, like the, I don't know, Babylon B or not the B. like the, I don't know, Babylon Bee or Not the Bee. And like they were all, if you read these guys, they're constantly going on about transgender women in sports.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And it's always just like a new transgender woman, quote unquote, just beat the women's powerlifting world record by, you know, 8 million pounds by you know eight million pounds you know and so i was like i know that this is not true not true and bait and bullshit and i'm finally i'm just gonna google it so it's not true once again what yeah shocker shock Yeah, so it was talking about a woman's power lifter, Anne Andres, a male who, quote, identifies as a female, close quote, lifted 1,317 pounds, a new woman's world record by more than 440 pounds.
Starting point is 00:13:18 That's what they claim. That poundage does not break the top 10 of world record holders, all of which are cisgender women. And the top being Tamara Walcott with 1,620 fucking pounds. Oh, my. Holy shit. And she did that in 2022. It's just kind of, for me, it was partially because I was like, I know know they're lying but i'm never doing the research to prove that they're lying so i'm going to do the research to prove
Starting point is 00:13:50 that they're lying and uh indeed i found that they were lying and the side like the added bonus was now i got to actually learn the names of a bunch of uh badass women yeah who are lifting you know things that weigh more than my shitty car right so you know there you go yeah it's uh that if that doesn't reveal me as someone who is mad online and petty i don't know yeah it's incumbent on all of us to fact check all of their lies unfortunately which is exhausting it's so exhausting that's the sad thing about it is that it's just like oh you know they they make you they force you as the reader to do the non-lazy to do the actual work that they refuse to do because they don't need to prove anything no no no they just need to keep a narrative going exactly yeah they just
Starting point is 00:14:45 need to write the lie and they it's an incumbent on everyone else to verify whether or not the lie is true which is like if you pump the fucking internet filled with lies then it's impossible to keep up it's uh you know a genius bit of it's like a tactic they employ all the time yeah it's almost like it's a plan yeah but yeah very annoying but uh you know hey someone's got to do it we're talking about the wave of uh trans athletes ruining the sanctity of all the world records around the world that recently in the context of it being revealed that prayer coach wasn't wasn't even trying to get his job back yeah and right that the the couple who was making the website designer use her business to do a gay wedding uh did not that that gay couple did not exist
Starting point is 00:15:41 and the woman didn't have a web design business. No, it was all fake. Yeah, it's all fake. It's just bullshit outrageous. But it went to the Supreme Court and Gorsuch is like, I'm writing the opinion. It happened. Yeah. What's something you think is overrated?
Starting point is 00:15:57 Fear of AI. Okay. Because I saw there's a website where you can make AI porn ladies. AI porn ladies? Yeah. So it takes ladies. It uses AI technology to make like a lady horse. Like a horse, a lady, but with a horse body.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Like a centaur? Yeah, like a centaur. But sometimes the legs, well, it depends on what you ask for it to make. And you can make it with as big of titties as you want. Wait, was this overrated or underrated? A fear of AI is overrated. Oh, because in light of this... Because AI can make the titties as big as you want them to be.
Starting point is 00:16:45 On the horse people? On the horse people. On the horse lady. That you're creating. Or she can also be a fox or like a fuckable mouse. What about, can you put like massive dongs on a centaur? Yes, yes, yes. Like their dragon on the ground? Thank you for asking, yes.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can pretty much do whatever your imagination says. And speaking of dragon on the ground, can you make a fuck dragon? Yeah. Oh, yeah. If you can think it, it can make it. That's the thing about AI. It's so smart that it can make you come to whatever image you ask it to make for you.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And you discovered this all recently? Yeah, yeah yeah yeah because i was like in the middle of my usual like googling like biggest boobs biggest boobs biggest horse biggest biggest horse biggest horse lead bigger boobs and even more bigger and uh and when i when i do that usually again the results are weird i'm like what is that's not what i had in mind not what i had in mind this shit exactly and then but then all of a sudden ai came out right and now you can make the boobs as big as you want oh great yeah you can make the boobs as big as you want you can make the boobs as big as you want so i can make the boobs as big as you want. So when people are like, oh, AI is like stealing jobs.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Hold on. Yeah. You know, wait, let's okay. But let's weigh that against like how much. Produce, which is good for humanity. Good for humanity. Thank you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah. So, you know, like what's the point of a job, right? The point of a job is so that you have enough money so that you can pay an artist to draw a lady. A horse lady. A horse lady with the biggest boobs in the world. That's the point of money. But if this is free with AI, then I don't need a job yeah you know what i'm saying that we need to talk about ubi now yes yes yeah universal busting income
Starting point is 00:18:52 so i'm just saying you know take the good with the bad here you know everyone's oh i'm scared i'm scared of ai you know what if it's going to kill humanity? And it's like, yeah, from what? Coming to death? I don't think so. That is one of the arguments the Republicans make, though, is that, like, why would anybody work when they can be coming to a horse lady and on the horse lady can make as big of boobs you want. As big as you want them to be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Yeah. So, I mean, they make a, sometimes, listen, a broken clock is right twice a day. There we go. What is something that you think is underrated, Matt? Oh, I'll tell you. Miss Rachel. Okay. Is that the name of the horse lady? That's the name of the horse lady. That I named.
Starting point is 00:19:40 So big. They're as big as I wanted them. No. As big as I wanted them. Dude. As big as I wanted them. Dude, you're about to pivot so hard by explaining who Miss Rachel is. Yeah. Big pivot. Miss Rachel is a kid's YouTuber. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:57 She makes content for, like, babies and toddlers in which she, like, sings songs. And she's in front of a green screen and it's animated and she's you know live action and she's you know she's singing things like what's in the box what could it be do you want to take something out with me pulls out a toy explains the toy does the sign language for like the color does you know teaches babies like some sign language and some words and shows how to say the words like mama you know wow babies like some sign language and some words and shows how to say the words like mama you know and like repeating and repeating and my daughter fucking loves it it's so crazy it's like she we put it on and she has the biggest smile on her face and i'm like
Starting point is 00:20:41 i don't know who this miss rachel is in real life but i hope she's making so much money off of this i'm sure she is like what kind of views is she getting on to millions yeah the kid youtube like youtube content for kids like that's monetized is insane it's the amounts are absurd sometimes and you look at how quickly like a video goes up in one day it's like has three million views it's because and i realize the reason is because you just play that video over and over and over because it's the one that makes them shut the fuck okay she does have a master's in music education from myu so okay that's that makes me feel good. Because there is some children's entertainment on YouTube that is
Starting point is 00:21:27 purely guess and check. We put a thousand AI generated videos up here. Most of them are disturbing and look like the inside of someone's brain as they are having a bad acid trip that kills them.
Starting point is 00:21:44 But one out of a hundred like kids really fuck with and we just learn from that and keep making more and more disturbing cocomelon or whatever the fuck right yeah so it's good that there is somebody on youtube who is like i studied education right someone who's not just gaming the algorithm with AI. As much as I love AI because you can make the boobs as big as you want, I don't want my children
Starting point is 00:22:14 to make the boobs as big as they want. That's right. Because I guarantee you that Karina, she wants the boobs because she wants the milk. Yeah, those feed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yeah. That's called evolution. What is it called? Evolutionary psychology. That's what I was going to say. Yeah. So we learn everything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I was going to say those words. It is nice, though, when you're like, oh, thank God this person isn't just a failed improviser. Right. You decided to pivot to kids i know i'm saying because you think about like blue peas yeah you're just seeing the sadness behind every single time they sing patty cake yeah patty cake patty cake baker's man yeah i never made a backup plan. Yeah. No, she is, like, wonderful.
Starting point is 00:23:18 And you just get, like, this, you know, this, like, camp counselor energy that I remember back when I was, like, you know, a little bit older of a kid. I used to just cringe at this, you know, like, these adults who sang these songs. Right. Or, like, hey. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Hey yeah exactly hey i'm happy but then you see like them doing it for a baby and you see the way the baby reacts and you're like you know what you do have a place in this world and it is fucking important and thank you for doing this have you ever turned your back for a second and the youtube algorithm starts feeding your baby 9-11 truther video yeah you could actually with ai you can on the twin towers you can make the boobs as big as you want well that's good dude her biggest video is 491 million views and it
Starting point is 00:24:01 only came out a year ago jesus christ well 100 million of those views are me so right yeah no so far we have not let the youtube algorithm uh run uh of course she can only last about like i think 40 minutes before she is just like you know she wants yeah yeah yeah totally bored or start getting aggro yeah yeah yeah i like it was weird how happy i was when my my kids started like having the attention span to be entertained by an ipad during the length of a flight because yeah that is that changes everything yes yes i mean it's it's already changed our lives. And it's so funny how quickly we went from united front of like, we're not going to just plot them in front of a screen. You know, we don't want an iPad babysitter.
Starting point is 00:25:01 We're going to read it books. It's so funny how quickly we're just like turn on miss rachel she's crying please save us there's something very difficult about seeing your child unhappy and knowing that a thing that you have a thing you can pick up a very a very light thing doesn't weigh a hundred pounds very light thing and press a couple buttons and your child will be happy i know yeah put their brain on pause i know i know it's hard to resist they got our ass with these little skinner boxes yeah skinner boxes all right if Skinner boxes. All right. If you say it cute, it's not as disturbing.
Starting point is 00:25:47 It is. Let's take a quick break and come back and talk about Bomeface, y'all. Yeah. Bome, Bome. Bome. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago,
Starting point is 00:26:11 when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of this right-hand woman.
Starting point is 00:26:34 The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:29:27 deprived themselves of what is true focaccia. But anyway, back to this. So yeah, well, like in the beginning of September, there was this neo-Nazi rally in Orlando. I'm sure many people saw the clip of like two groups of really sad wannabe ss losers marching and yelling and stuff and there was a guy that looked like a fucking parody of a nazi from a marvel comic who was getting a lot of attention full bald tattoos every inch every inch of his face except for his his lips. I'm always curious.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Do tattoo artists are like, these are the one parts I actually do like about myself. These lips are for praying to Odin. Exactly. And he was getting a lot of attention, especially from other fascists on the internet. And his name, as we kept
Starting point is 00:30:22 screaming before, Boneface. Who's not a child youtuber but yeah this guy very rapidly rose to prominence on the scene because of his exploits specifically he gained a lot of cred when he went to ukraine to fight alongside the neo-nazi tied azon battalion and he said he racked up 36 confirmed kills and all these other nazis like this is what we need dude this guy fucking knows like this this is what the kind of training we need for the race war and dude quickly became like this celebrity and but shit went sideways when other right-wing influencers who are currently because this was right after that uh horrific like you know the mass shooting in Jacksonville.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Right. That guy was only killed, you know, killed black people at that store where a lot of these right wing influencers were there currently on this campaign. They're like neo-Nazis are the feds and they're just trying to make us look bad. It's a fucking op. And oh, this is like this is Antifa. These neo-nazis so some some right-wingers called this dude and the people that are out there in orlando like this is this is a false flag thing like this is so absurd looking that they're just trying to make us look silly yeah and they claim
Starting point is 00:31:36 that they're like it's so obvious like this guy's a fed and once the other nazis started looking into him they quickly realized that this guy was just a very normal racist with shitty tattoos, a criminal record and a questionable backstory because his time in Ukraine. He killed those people in Ukraine, man. There's nothing realer than that, Miles. I know, except that the images that he kept claiming were from out there were terribly photoshopped images when people actually began to look into it they're like you just like put on this like azoth battalion patch like in photoshop very crudely so in order in order for the neo-nazis to maintain their good standing with their allies on the far right they held a public trial on zoom basically like a like a live stream public trial for Boneface.
Starting point is 00:32:28 To be like, this guy fooled us. He's a trickster. And they're like, Boneface, these are the charges set against you. How do you answer? And Boneface was like, not guilty. I am not the feds. I'm not an op. The trial did not go well.
Starting point is 00:32:44 This is Vice News did like a ton of coverage on this. They said on the first night of the trial, it's, well, this is from Vice News, quote, it seemed like Boneface, who referred to himself solely in the third person, was winning over the Blood Tribes leaders. This is the big neo-Nazi group that was fanning out for him.
Starting point is 00:33:00 How could they not be swayed by arguments like he accidentally got his travel documents wet in the rain earlier that day? And that's why they looked forged. Oh, and that the reason looked for. Yeah. Yeah. I got rain on it, but I didn't go Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:33:15 What had happened was Boneface was in the rain. Yeah. OK. Boneface in rain. I can't be CIA or FBI because look how shitty my fake documents are yeah terrible like look at these things but then then when they said well what about these photoshopped fucking pictures said i just got a bunch of fans who just won't stop doing the photoshop it's not me this is fan art you can tell because look at how they made the titties
Starting point is 00:33:41 on my fake documents on my fake documents yeah my travel documents look they made the titties as big as my fake documents oh my fake documents yeah my travel documents look how big the titties are in this visa to travel through belarus so then it got even weirder when the high court of fascists asked boneface they said okay you fought uh ukraine why don't you spit some ukrainian for us this is from vice quote the neo-nazi said he knew how to speak it and attempted to get some sentences out but according to a person listening who knows ukrainian he was just saying random words and making vaguely slavic noises well that's just like their opinion miles that's true okay that's true that's true i want to know what a vaguely slavic noise is have you ever heard heard that uh artist beirut the oh yeah yeah come on that's that's his i don't
Starting point is 00:34:32 want to war that guy no the guy is like oh that guy he's like he it sounds like a band from like you know behind the iron curtain during the 80s and like that's what the cover of his first album was like a picture from that like looked like it could be that and then you like find out he's a 17 a 17 year old from new jersey just making vaguely slavic sounds like when you look at like what the lyrics actually like i assumed he was singing in a different language and then the lyrics were actually like just you know 17 year old poetry i love a slavic noise a slavic noise like slavic noises i've only heard a slavic noise when i was a youngster playing uh counter-strike online and occasionally i would hear someone go yeah fuck you gay bro that's a Slavic noise.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Whoa. Also, vaguely Slavic noises. Pretty sick band name. Yeah. On night two of the trial, because this was a two-parter. Yeah. You gotta stress that shit out. Boneface couldn't even show his bone face.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Wow. Because he was so thoroughly humiliated the previous night. So his doubters took the stage and presented their own evidence of how all the videos that he like claimed were from the ukrainian front were just stolen from other people and you know that they're like one of them uh like was calling for violence against bone face for like putting them into disrepute or i don't know like he was really upset about it the main leader of blood tribe uh who's the they are the people who put on this trial like really took a liking to him and he was so
Starting point is 00:36:12 into him he was like he invited him to join like the like hierarchy of this group and do a blood ritual where he could uh like he was gonna spill his blood like from a spear that other members had before him in this whole ritual. But old Boneface couldn't even get any blood to come out. Hold on, I've got to play you this clip. That's fantastic. You mean like... Everything about this is so childish. He couldn't cut himself because it hurted?
Starting point is 00:36:40 I think it was that or the blade was too dull. Or like it was so dull that he's like yo Come on man. G up and like really fucking try and hurt yourself with this thing. I don't wanna do. Oh, here he is All right. Oh, he's got a spear and that's the other guy. That's the other guy hammer And this this video was put up by like, you know, you know right-wing monitoring groups For the pros of came before you and he keeps trying to cut his hand here right-wing monitoring groups. For the bros that came before you. And he keeps trying to cut his hand here. For those who keep this out by the gods forever.
Starting point is 00:37:12 He keeps trying to cut it. Look at that fucking tattered flag. He's like, it's like a scene from The Office right now. Where he's like, come on, spill your blood on the Nazi spear. And he's like, yeah, he's doing gym looks to the camera. He's doing gym looks to the camera while he's trying to cut himself.
Starting point is 00:37:31 But he can't get himself to cut himself because it's like too. I mean, he seems like there's something definitely genuinely wrong. I mean, yeah. I mean, his record is he got arrested for like doing paramilitary training. Like with other people in Florida who were trying to start a race war back in 2012. And then it's like drugs and like, you know, burglary and shit like that. So, yeah, the guy couldn't even spill his bone face blood to join the crew. Spill your blood, bro.
Starting point is 00:37:59 And dude, that guy who was next to him, who was like, you are like you're joining the bros who had all those like runes tape like yeah and tatted on the side of his head this quote um so this guy his name is hammer and he had to make an apology for making everybody look so dumb this is what hammer said quote this is going in the quote of the year we we this is the first first entry first nominee for yeah exactly first ballot entry to the Hall of Fame. Quote, I want to say sorry to whoever thinks we dropped the ball on this or whatever. We aren't the only ones. Everyone was fucking into
Starting point is 00:38:34 Boneface. Boneface was hype for a while. That's why we told him not to wear a mask. There was just a lot of Boneface hype. He's like speaking. He's speaking like a brand manager. Yeah. Like bone face.
Starting point is 00:38:52 But like everybody was feeling bone face. And it wasn't just us, dude. Like there was a bone face wave, dude. And we were just riding that shit. But that's all these people are is like brand managers on social media. Right. One hundred percent. Their version of white supremacy is so like yeah did livy riz up bone face or is baby gronk the
Starting point is 00:39:13 new bone face who knows uh incoming stitch um so he vowed then after after being like sorry for the bone face hype he said that him and other leaders would do a better job of vetting people. Vetting their Nazis. Yeah, which I imagine the process is something like, oh shit, you really have this gnarly shit tatted? You're in. Like, that seems to be the extent of it, but they're like, this guy's a fucking LARPer. They're all LARPers. I know.
Starting point is 00:39:41 This is the most LARP-ass community in the world. They're real cherry on world. They're real. Terry on top. Blood oaths in a fucking one bedroom. Yeah. With a dull spear that you bought off QVC. I don't know how dull it was. Boneface just might not be about that life, man.
Starting point is 00:39:56 He might not like, that is exactly what I would have done. Also, somebody asked me to do a, somebody asked me to do a blood oath and like handed me a spear I would be like I don't know what the heck's going on is this thing too dull in this hypothetical why are
Starting point is 00:40:12 you trying to get in with the neo-nazis well I'm just saying I'm just saying like I need a community I'm lacking community in my life that's why I said join the fucking marines dude any blood oath I'm not I'm not community in my life That's why I said join the fucking Marines Any blood oath I'm not gonna do a blood oath
Starting point is 00:40:28 For most things Not even to join the Sopranos crew Yeah I would do a blood oath Is that you and Matt's friend group That watches the Sopranos together On Monday nights It's our group chat You gotta cut yourself on this old butter knife
Starting point is 00:40:44 But yeah dude So then this is the next thing It's our group chat. Yeah, dude. You got to cut yourself on this old butter knife. Yeah. But yeah, dude. So then this is the next thing fucking Hammer said about fucking Boneface since he's been fully excommunicated from the neo-Nazi movement, I guess. Quote, I imagine he's going to have a hard time, a real hard time, because, you know, a guy like that ain't going to fit in in regular society. He said the guy with the rune tattoos all over his fucking body and is the fate of sure go ahead dude i love that though yeah he's gonna have a hard time man all right are you you're doing well how's your day job yeah exactly well
Starting point is 00:41:20 at least i can you know at some point pivot to being a, you know, God of War cosplayer. Yeah. At any point. Ragnarok, bro. Yeah. Kratos. Is that his name? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I mean, phonetically a little bit off, but hey, we're not here to do this. Whatever, dogs. But yeah, I don't know. So this is the latest sad infighting and embarrassment that has been laid at the feet of this really fucking gross movement. I love it. I let those fucking idiots eat themselves alive. And it's it's there's nothing funnier than, you know, a new video of neo-Nazis coming out. and the fact that like elon musk's algorithm and twitter is just all blue check marks going like feds feds uh feds has some points feds right right right like even among the blue check mark dullards they can't like keep their story straight they're like i don't know man like you know this
Starting point is 00:42:20 seems to be kind of onto something like listen to words they're saying you know in between the sick hiling yeah yeah there's like there was like a beef over the summer where like this guy is like in his 70s is like considered like the sort of like the og of like the modern neo-nazi movement in america like had a falling out like they satanic sect of neo-nazis like a similar fucking back and forth it's just that uh uh yeah it is it is what it is folks yeah i i do like there's obviously real uh white supremacy and neo-nazis and shit but i feel i feel like the stuff that floats to the surface maybe is the silliest wildest shit like the stuff that's going to be the easiest for people to share right yeah so
Starting point is 00:43:05 completely and the thing the point that you know with people screaming about the feds the feds are only involved when they are trying to get them to do an act of violence and catch them you know like entrap them that's that's the fed involvement the feds aren't involved in like these like you know small scale protests where they're going out there going kanye was right you know i guess the jews or whatnot no that's all them the feds are only trying to push them a little bit more so they can entrap them that's what feds do with all you know with basically any movement. Any movement, yeah, that they target.
Starting point is 00:43:46 That is fed involvement. So it's not that, like, you know, I'm not going to cape for feds here. I'm just saying that... That's not how they move. That's not how they move. They move to get arrests and pretend as if they're stopping an act of violence
Starting point is 00:44:04 when really they're the ones who suggested the act of violence right and like they're lucky that because their whiteness even protects them from those kinds of fed ops because usually they'll be like okay these muslim dudes they said they might be down and we're just right to go ahead and arrest them yeah right exactly yeah yeah well we got special laws for the muslims yeah wild. So, you know, y'all are the feds. So come on now. Yeah. It is a bit of a philosophical dilemma. It's like, yeah, but the feds could be us. Yeah. What if we are the feds? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:40 All right. Let's let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the expanded child tax credit. We don't know how good we had it. We'll be right back. was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of
Starting point is 00:45:20 that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. more, the story of one strange and violent summer.

And there's new data from the census bureau that has illustrated just how valuable 2021's enhanced child tax credit was because you know it was allowed to expire last year by congress and when that happened the child poverty rate more than doubled like immediately. 12.4% of children were in poverty last year, up from a record low of 5.2 the year before and roughly comparable to where it was prior giving money to people with kids. And this is not a, you know, Joe Biden didn't invent this. This is pretty standard for developed countries around the world. Oh, yeah. Like, in the sense we're so behind. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:58 We don't want children to have to live in poverty. Like, as humans, generally, we don't want children to have to live in poverty like as as humans generally we don't want children to have to live in poverty and not me pretty stark i want them to live in poverty oh are you joe mansion yeah what's up guys it's me joe yeah i'm a democrat lololol yeah i am an op. Yeah. The efforts to extend the CTC were stymied by Manchin, who demanded that the credit include a firm work requirement. For babies. Babies gotta get a job. Falsely suggested that some low-income parents use the payments to buy drugs. Still doing that one.
Starting point is 00:49:43 I mean, people buy. That has to be true the fact that like he couldn't even come up with like evidence like i'm sure that happens people buy it use everything to buy drugs right yeah what the fuck are you talking about yeah that's the whole thing about drugs you'll pretty much use any money or a thing that you can use to get money yeah that has perceived value. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:09 It's just, it's very frustrating. It's very common. Almost every EU country has it. And child poverty rates in countries like Germany and Sweden are far lower than in the US. And for people who don't care about the literal suffering of children, child poverty also ends up costing money as well nearly four percent of gdp every year because it leads to horrible things for those children later in life you know like children who they can't they have absolutely nothing to do with whether they're
Starting point is 00:50:39 living in poverty when they're young and then they are doomed to like suffer later in life because of this thing that they had no control over sounds sounds cool yeah no it's a pretty dope country we got here yeah it's also just like when you look at how the people it affected you know why it wasn't extended because it was disproportionately affecting black and hispanic kids and single moms yeah so it's just like nah that's fine you know and also because the discourse around the time or at least the the what the news was doing was explaining that uh you know this recession is a direct result right the fact that babies are living high on the hog. You know, we're giving all these babies all this money.
Starting point is 00:51:32 And look at this. Look at the gas prices. They just sit on that shit. They buy. They invest in bonds. They do stock sellbacks. That's what babies do. That's what babies need to do.
Starting point is 00:51:44 No, but, you know, what we got to do is we got to cool down this hot economy. We got to take some no more child tax credit, no more stimulus packages. Let's fire a bunch of people. Let's get that unemployment rate up a bit because right now labor has got a little bit too much power. You know what I mean? A little too much. Yeah, definitely. And then we'll go from there you know listen if we gotta turn a few babies into gasoline to make the price cheaper we gotta do what we gotta do we're the number one country in the world
Starting point is 00:52:15 number one at what being uh the number one country that's right that's chanting we're number one at chanting we're number one we have the biggest foam number one fingers. That's true. I think there's this, yeah, the perception, I don't know, I guess people just figured it's handouts. But again, that shouldn't fucking matter when you're saying the end goal is to end child poverty or at least take a huge dent in child poverty. Sounds to me like the end goal is communism. or at least take a huge dent in child poverty and doing whatever you have to. Yeah. Like the end goal is communist. I mean,
Starting point is 00:52:50 that's what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Listen, there's nothing that spells freedom more than literally taking the food out of the baby's mouth.
Starting point is 00:52:59 I know. Right. It's true. Like that, that, that correlation is like our economy suffering because enough baby, enough babies aren't suffering. Yeah. And it truly, like it definitely worked. Like that, that, that correlation is like our economy suffering because enough baby, enough babies aren't suffering. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:06 And it truly, like it definitely worked. The poll, a poll found that only one in three Americans supported making the child tax credit permanent. Like, which is crazy. It was like money for people who desperately needed it.
Starting point is 00:53:19 And yeah, cause we still have a huge hump, like a hill to get over with entitlements and like people understanding that like helping people is there's a net benefit to society rather than like, how come they get the money? And I got to do this because you don't need it, asshole. And I'm grateful for that. The fact that you're in that situation. I already pay my taxes. OK, OK. okay okay i think just like uh the talk around student debt relief proved to me why we're never
Starting point is 00:53:50 going to have nice things in this country and it's because in order to start a program in which the government is going to give you money or uh help you out with anything health insurance child tax credit fucking maternity leave paternity leave it means you have to get over the hump of people who already paid their student loans yeah or already had children and those people are so petty that they will never ever agree to letting the next generation have something yeah that's the American way right there. Is us just looking at the younger generation and going like, no.
Starting point is 00:54:31 They have to suffer as I suffered. Wait, you mean your children? Yeah. Yeah, fuck them. Yeah, fuck them. Wait, that's your grandchild. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck them.
Starting point is 00:54:41 He's going to have to deal with the same shit i dealt with absolutely gonna learn the value of a dollar but yeah i mean the biden administration didn't do a great job of like selling it to the country they kind of lumped it in with the two trillion dollar america and american rescue plan instead of just being like no this is a good thing for people that we need to keep keep going they were like no this is like a temporary for people that we need to keep keep going they were like no this is like a temporary an emergency thing and so it became associated for a lot of people with covid which everybody wants to move past seeing as it was a dark horrible time so yeah yeah but hopefully in the future we have somebody who's like willing to actually be progressive even when it's not like
Starting point is 00:55:28 demanded by starvation and and a horrible fucking situation right a million dead people in the pandemic but uh we should talk about congress right because those clowns in congress there's some other news coming out of Congress, and it's about our good friend Lauren Boebert. She's housed, right, Miles? Yeah, yeah. She's housed, man. She's housed.
Starting point is 00:55:55 She may have been. She took in some musical theater, a performance of the musical version of Beetjuice in denver sunday night unfortunately she did not catch the ending as she was kicked out of the building for quote vaping singing recording and causing a disturbance during the show she's so cool it's she's vaping during a fucking a musical theater like performance of beetle juice yeah like she's just like fuck yeah multiple audience members come out she's so multiple audience members complained about her and she received a warning during the intermission and five minutes into the second act was doing the same shit, like probably a little bit louder to get back at the people who complained.
Starting point is 00:56:54 And then she was asked to leave. She, of course, refused to go. The ushers said they would have to call the police, to which she responded, go get them. Go get them. I am the police to which she responded go get them go get them i am the police yeah wow i just love i just like the fucking i really want to know the detail about the vape part because like was she just blowing fucking clouds out during the fucking performance or was it like one of those like i'm gonna be an asshole because now you're kicking me out and let me turn up a little bit by vaping to like the security guard? Oh, definitely the second half for sure was that.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Right, right, right. She reminds me of every single drunk lady at a comedy show, usually like Friday or Saturday late show at a club. at a club there is always one or a group of trashed like white women who are like talking during the show yelling out heckling and then as soon as security goes like hey uh you guys you can't talk they just are like how dare you i will vape as loud as I want. And they just get serious, bro. Watch this. Damn. Giant. That's cloud. Cumulo nimbus cloud comes out of their mouth.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Bam. Her voice got deep, too. She's like, yeah, it's just when you blow it out. Did you see what she was wearing? It was like very, I don't know what people wear but she looked like she was dressed for like some kind of gala event she looks like ai in that they made a booze i'm sorry i'm on take well guys oh she yeah no she does look like you designed her on i designed her stress oh wait this is from no this is from uh matt leaves sub stack yeah that's my AI art that's my deviant art sorry yeah yeah yeah but like what the fuck is going i have i'm wondering though because right now
Starting point is 00:58:59 her campaign is in absolute tatters you know like they're she's like doing she's begging constantly now the supporters to be like i'm losing and i don't know why i need money and yeah because her democratic challenger is like now pulling ahead in the polling so i wonder if she's also she's out here trying to save americans from the woke mind virus that's right and she's not allowed to go fucking let off a little steam and then when they kick her off she kick her out she's not allowed to say stuff like do you know who i am i am on the board i will be contacting the mayor which are all quotes overheard coming out of her i love just like being such a karen that you're like i'm calling the mayor that's what i'm doing the mayor is so good to go directly to the manager of the city is the funniest thing
Starting point is 00:59:54 it's also to like a threat that does not resonate with somebody who's just working security at a fucking like a theater performance space it's like right yeah okay go ahead like that doesn't mean shit to me you still gotta fucking go like i'm not the fucking chief of police where you're gonna be like the mayor will hear about this yeah what's the mayor gonna do ain't gonna do shit they don't even know who the fuck i am i answer to beetlejuice, okay? Not you, lady. Beetlejuice is the mayor of me, alright? Right. I do wonder how they got her out of there eventually.
Starting point is 01:00:34 You know? Because it sounds like she was not. It sounds like, first of all, no one has ever enjoyed a musical theater performance of Beetlejuice as much as she was. And that she had a lot, lots of the excuses. Yeah. Right. The funniest thing about it was I was reading what her, her office said about this whole thing.
Starting point is 01:00:55 They like confirm the story is true. She was kicked out for quote, like having too much fun. Sorry. Right. Guess the girl's not allowed to have a good time anymore. sorry right guess the girl's not allowed to have a good time anymore and the in the statement she continues to sing the praises of the beetlejuice musical which i think is impressive because like let me read this let me read this quote okay so her uh campaign manager said, I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors. In her personal time, Congressman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts, parentheses gasp.
Starting point is 01:01:37 And to the dismay of a select few, enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of Beetlejuice. enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of Beetlejuice. And then he noted the Post's review of the show last week described it as zany, outrageous, and a lusty riot. She's doing promo for it. I love it. She enjoyed it so much she's not even going to call it. The problem was that they were doing child trafficking and wokeness. The problem was this they were doing child trafficking and wokeness.
Starting point is 01:02:07 The problem was this shit is too good. This shit is too fucking good. What do you want her to do? This shit is outrageous, zany, and a lusty riot.
