Starting point is 00:00:00 No, don't do this! No, no! So, Merry Christmas, podcast, where each week I wear a shirt, man with eyebrows, guy whose father was killed, baby Anthony, reads a story from American history to a man who drives his man. Karen Threadold too has no idea what the topic is going to be about.
Starting point is 00:00:36 And you drug the van day, asshole. It was brutal. He missed a couple eggs at the time. He missed a couple eggs. He missed the couple eggs and then he was like, actually, he missed the egg so it was good because we appointed the user of the snack time. He missed the next one. You know, he even went up wrong, right? It's really crazy. He's like, the guy in his way, he's like, hey, that's me! Sorry, it all worked out.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Yeah, by a pilot. And he was like, soon, no, that's just, he played it on J-town. By the way, we do have merch and some of it is J-town. And Luke, the second and a half member of the dollar, will be out there selling men at, yeah, so we got J-town bags. And we got shirts that have the greatest picture in dollar history.
Starting point is 00:01:23 When we came into town, we saw a couple of J-Town fans out there, Jetski and other river. You know, they saw two people on Jetski's at the day, it was like Jetski. Jetski guys. They were Jetski. I didn't get along. I wanted to tell the guy.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Garrett, we are brought to you in part by square space. Of course, everybody in the world knows or shouldn't know what Squarespace is. It is all in one, all inclusive, domains, websites, online stores, marketing tools, analytics, the whole ball of wax. And when I say ball of wax, they also have a ball of wax. But Dave, shut up. Dave, do we use it? You're through we use it.

The sources page, they're all Squarespace. So in other words, Dave, I guess you're saying that we really like it and we recommend using it.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Look, here's what I'll say about Squarespace. If we get cut, they bleed. That's how involved we are. Just got off the phone with Ken Square. He's not loving the new thing. Okay, well that's not good. So look, the reason we first started using Squarespace, very easy to use, for dummies like me, and especially a dummy like Garrett, it's really hard to deal with this tech stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:48 And we get confused. There's no updates. You don't have to do anything. I'm not a crew. It's just me. They have 24.7 award winning support. It's all easy. And they look great.
Starting point is 00:03:00 The templates are awesome. They really do. If you go to my website, you'd be like, you would not think I was involved in making it. I'm looking at it. That's true. It's really good. Yeah, we can't recommend Squarespace enough.

Starting point is 00:03:35 Okay. So far it's not going well. Not for people in their car listening, Billy. Yeah, I know. Live. So can we get to that? Alright, cool. Yeah, that's pretty visual. That's probably not going to be great for when you're listening. F*** them, they should butt tickets. Yeah! Amasa. Leland Stanford was born at the Bull's Hand and Tvern. Wait, what is the first part? A masa? A masa, that's the first name, a masa.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Okay. A masa, Leeland Stanford. Okay. Born at the Bull's head tavern in a water fleet. Leaving the board in the tavern? Yeah, right there in that tavern. Wow. Up there.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Are you putting it down here? Pop it up out. Yeah, but that's where he's born and I'm told he's not. That's awesome. Just like your dad. Why? He went peacefully in some ways. OK, so it was over in my sister's house last night.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I went to dinner, and she goes, so I have the inheritance. And I was like, you have the inheritance? So she comes out with a crumpled back. And she dumps it on the table and it's quarters. He had been saving quarters that are like Pierre Silver. So like a quarter from like 1943, 34, and there's about 50, and they're worth about, two to three bucks. I was like,
Starting point is 00:05:18 I was like, I've been one of the last things he said to my sister before he died, I was like, go into my office first It's in the credenza What I have left for you in your brother Anyway, it's about $70 We're so you're dead better reveal
Starting point is 00:05:43 We're actually in deathbed to reveal. You're $35 each of my days. You save your oxygen. We don't need it. No, no, no, no, this is important. You can go to David Buster's. A lot of you do to me try us out. My dying wish is that you give me a flash of vodka that go play smart game games. Is there still that time out in the mall?
Starting point is 00:06:07 Damn, stop trying. It'd be amazing if the IRS was listening to this and they came after me. Oh. It looks like you owe $35? So the tavern was owned by his parents a Massa translate translates into a hardship or burden Well the peanut shells I burn name of oh god Jesus. This is our son whoops. Why is he here? Is there boy what a nightmare. He's the fifth of eight kids, six of whom survives. That's good.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Pretty good, yeah. The tavern was 300 yards from the newly opened eerie canal. So workers blew all their money there on the workers on the canal. So they were making good money. You have to have a quarter from the Netsworth, almost $4. So they blew their money on the Erie Canal? Like what? It was like the Jersey River. So the workers were just working and then they blew their money on the tower.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Right, yeah. Where babies were born, sometimes. Babies were born. Sometimes you'd order beer and there's like a their money in the tower. Right, yeah. Where babies would be born sometimes. Babies would be born. Sometimes you'd order beer and there's like a lady with a baby coming out of a vagina. Yeah. Thanks for adding the vagina because a lot of us weren't sure how that actually worked. Sometimes it comes out the front door. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:07:37 We'll stay up to make. Okay. Let's uh... Okay, let's keep going as soon as possible. Let's go through this part right now. Anyone have a gym in Embelical? Who had a woman soda? So they also had a farm.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Leeland's older brother said Leeland was the only one in the family who didn't work hard. Okay, I'm referring to reading books. So we're going with Lea-lin instead of... Yeah, he changes it after pretty quick, he's like, that's not. I know, you can call me a bird. What did mean? Joined? Exuberance?
Starting point is 00:08:16 No, it's like an absolute nightmare, like a hardship, like a... Oh! You're like a barnacle honest, just... We can't get off. Okay. Oh! It's really bad. Oh,, what's lean than me? What a bitter name I love you guys
Starting point is 00:08:37 Please go jogging the canal What a child that I'm having this is awesome What a child that I'm having. This is awesome! So at some point his parents realized he was a lost cause as far as the family business went. He was just not going to be a lost. Well, he's like in his teens now and they're like, 13, you're not cut out for this business. What's the business?
Starting point is 00:08:59 Runnin' the top. Oh, it is their tabric. Oh, okay. All right. So, he was sent to school a hundred miles away. Now at that school, students worked three hours a day on the farm. So he quickly quit the school and went to another one. By the way, I would have easily taken that school.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Yeah, I know. Yeah, for sure. I feel like this is better than sitting there and being like, Wait, what's X? Oh, it's winter, that's right. It's winter. X's it, yeah. Hey, X, Twitter, I can't forget it. Look, it's dumbass equation.
Starting point is 00:09:31 We are Twitterers right by a four-year-old now. I like X. The cool, cool letter. It's like the coolest. Remain minute? How is it? Remain minute, how he is. So he switched to school, he lasted a year there, and then he was double school. He wants to make money. Sure.
Starting point is 00:09:55 So at this point, when he's 18, he's six, he's six, he's talked to our town. He's got a beer. So he gets a job as a law clerk. Eww! What? Now people who love Stanford say he passed the New York bar in 1848, but there's absolutely no record of him passing the bar. So what is that mean?
Starting point is 00:10:17 That means he didn't. He just said he didn't. Sure. Anything I was born in the bar. So then he was to Port Washington with constant. Fuck, yes. Yeah, shout out. I'm a people bagger, bro. Port Washington.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Nobody really cares. Yeah, fuck your brother does. I'm definitely a brother. They give you a chip, bro. She's door, or... Yeah. Jesus. He's door. Good.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Jesus. Ariel. A local quote, he was a large and rather clumsy young fellow with a gray eye and was decidedly flammatic and dull. Well, he was what? Flammatic. Flammatic? Flammatic.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Flammatic. You are very, you're ready to go tonight. Yeah. Is like, I, did you do I need a mic or how do you want to do it? What do you want to do? He could take all the chicks of that day on hardy pine ears. He could stand up in the village bar, put all the other fellows to sleep, and then walk off with a clear head. Does anyone, what does that mean? He drank a lot?
Starting point is 00:11:22 I think he drank a lot. Because otherwise it's like, he was a hip-haton. Like what did he say? He can really pour a crowd. Oh you know, he made me get up on the bar and everyone would be asleep and he caught me at home. He was that sort of fellow. He could do whatever. I like the gray eye too though. Yeah, yeah. Oh you know, he had a gray eye, made a disco biscuits. Just perfect. You know, he had one of them. It's gray eyes. He had fish eyes.
Starting point is 00:11:50 So he was blind made. He had one fish eye. I don't know if he's blind. We don't know a lot. Yeah. I'm so like, for sure. So he became a lawyer, but he failed. And then he started running for political offices,
Starting point is 00:12:04 but he kept losing. Right. And 1850 he married Jane Elizabeth O'Laythrup. It looks fired up. Yeah. They are ready to go. Yeah. That's right. What a great couple. I mean that truly looks like if you had dinner at their place to go. Why are they serving blood? You ready? Are you excited? In eight, so he married to her, then soon after a fire hits Port Washington and he loses his
Starting point is 00:12:34 law office. So he put his in the law, he became a lawyer. He had a love case, so he just had a law. That's why he could just be like, I'm a lawyer. Right. It was a go. Very good. So everything looks pretty bad. There's nothing for Jeanne there. Leland hated it. Wait, who's Jeanne? That's his wife. This is his wife.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Yeah. Leland hates it there. The Winchester Terrible had Leland said a quote, a population composed mostly of Germans. So he decides that he is going to go to the Goldfields of California. And he leaves Genie and Albany to take care of her ill father. He's like, the Goldfields are not a place for a late. Sure, it's a brutal place.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Sure. So he's 28 when he lands in SF and Leeland's four systems. They might have thought so for him though. thought so. I'm for hand though. David has a short hand, but I think so. We don't build that. Leelons four older brothers had been in Sacramento for two years. OK.
Starting point is 00:13:34 And they have a store and nearby owners of the store or call us Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker. OK. Boy, one. For a guy whoton, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker. Okay. Boy, I want that okay. For a guy who doesn't know history, you don't know what just happened. Living up to my role. I was lying in my head, I was like, I hope those aren't important.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I was like, that's three names coming up. I'm gonna try to get another. Yeah, Hopkins, Huntington, and Crocker. The brother sent Leal in to open a pop-up store to mining camp. He did, he does very well, and then he's appointed judge in Michigan City, and he buys a bar. What?
Starting point is 00:14:20 And in the bar, he could hold court. So he was never, he was never technically a lawyer. He just opened a law firm. But this is when judges and bars were like regular. He worked for a lawyer. Right. So then he's like, I'm a lawyer. I'm a lawyer.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I'm a lawyer. Now I'm a judge. I'm the president. And so, okay, so he's a judge and a bar, which we've established is not crazy, to be like, all right, let's have everybody look. We're doing two full-up for the next hour and any court cases so we're good everyone take a shot and I guys on child's bench
Starting point is 00:14:53 feeling hey we love you I'll be your popper's in the divorce let's do two shots and two shots you sw in that bush, didn't put your hand on the back of it. You can find a stuff bug around, let's go. All right, cool. I must still be taking a proof resist. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Wait. So Jeannie's dad dies in 1855, and so she comes out West. Okay. So as brothers move on, I don't know why, just said they move on. So he takes over the sacrifice. I feel like I don't need to know their names. Yeah, they don't matter. And man, that's what I was saying.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I didn't think that. I didn't want to give you more names. I didn't want to give you more names. You're going to be a- No, you don't mean- You're somewhere right now. Yeah, like, yeah. When you get into like, six, and then you're like,
Starting point is 00:15:45 so Clarence was still in sync with broad draw. I'm like, bro, come on, I'm like, what? This is new to me, you wrote this. I mean, but everybody here is like, yeah, hopkins on the time in Crockett. Yeah, the only guy is like, uh-huh, there's someone else. You know?
Starting point is 00:16:01 Yeah, she's not new. You know? Yeah, you know Crockett. Yeah, she don't know. Yeah, you know Crocker. I know Crocker. Oh man. I thought you were going to call a people. What do you know Crocker for? For Crocker?
Starting point is 00:16:18 Yeah, what do you mean? I mean, you could cook stews easy. Oh man. Move forward. Dick. So he takes up the psychorostor and now his fellow retailers, Crocker, Hawkins and Huntington. Oh, here we go again. Start making plans for Leland. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:41 They want him to get into politics. Okay. They want him to get into politics. Okay. So they haven't run for office, but he would lose and then they'd have him run for a higher office. That's fine. That's good. Because God, each election he got was profile a little bit, even though he didn't win, more people knew him. Right. So first of all, the men that stay treasured, I think Hopkins, Crocker, and Leland named themselves the associates.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Okay, so these three are like, cool. So what do we think of Handshakes and Jackets? I don't want to do this. These associates. I came up with a name, the nuance. I don't love that. You don't. No.
Starting point is 00:17:23 It says we're like, come and do we're bad. Yeah, no, I think we stick with associates. Really? Yeah, yeah. I don't love it. You don't know. It says we're like coming through, we're bad. Yeah, I think we stick with associates. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Twins is like, you know, I show. Yeah, no, I'm not that fucking. Yeah, that's good, but again, let's keep it kind of high brow above real.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah, for sure. I don't even, what I like about it is we're now a group, and we don't need to think of our individual names. Yes, we thought of forget what those are. I thought that someone would like them. Because like, the idea that we're trying to differentiate each other, we kind of just seem like a blob. I know.
Starting point is 00:17:53 The associates is just going to be easier to associate with. Yeah. So I think that's perfect. Yeah. Yeah, because it's part of the name of some blob. Well, probably you got Crocker and two others. What are these associates? Why don't I just city name them?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah, exactly. Why don't I just city name them? Which is important to the associates. No, I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:18:19 I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't. Rentsford State Treasury Loses. They get Lee Lennon nominated as the GOP candidate for Governor in California. Big Jesus Crabs.
Starting point is 00:18:28 They're going for it. A speech of his running for governor. Quote, I am in favor of free white American citizens. So. At the time, people, obviously. What else? Go ahead. obviously. What else? Go ahead. Yeah, what's your platform, sir?
Starting point is 00:18:49 I'm given. I prefer free white citizens to any other class or race. I prefer the white, right? This is not Reagan, this is Lincoln. This is Lincoln. I'm just thinking, pretty good. I prefer the white man to the Negro as an inhabitant of our country. I believe it's greatest good has been derived by having all of the country settled by free white men.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Oh my god. White, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, white, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, He gets crushed, but he's still headed the state Republican Party. Okay. Right, right, right. Now, there's a guy named Theodore Judah. Theodore Judah? Judah. Judah? Judah.
Starting point is 00:19:58 So, Theodore Judah is an ex-Railroad employee who claims that he found a route to build a railroad over the cirrus. Okay so people everyone starts calling him crazy Judah. Okay I found a route over the cirrus. Alright not bad. Fucking lunatic. Alright he's eating each other up there. Okay I'm gonna wait and get, hey? Because it looks like that's pretty out of the scale. So he's looking for investors to fund his white abilor railroad over the Sears. So the associates meet with him. And they see all his plans, but they
Starting point is 00:20:35 don't have the money to fund it. They're just not that wealthy. Sure. However, it looks like Lincoln is going to win the presidency, and he's super pro railroad. So they realize we got to get Leland to be governor. And if he had Lincoln? Not Lincoln.
Starting point is 00:20:55 So if they have a pro-president, a pro-relo-guised governor, then they'll be able to run the system. Right. So that year, a mining company is in debt to Leland store, and it goes bankrupt. OK. And he now holds the most stock, and the mine turns out to be crazy profitable.
Starting point is 00:21:19 So Licking gets elected, and the associates create a railroad corporation. Okay. The Central Pacific Railroad Company, and Liebling is named President, and he buys a huge mansion in Sacramento. Sorry, that's the first thing you should do for sure. Well, now that I have a business, I need a huge house. He's also, he becomes the Republic Republican nominee for governor again, and Democrats are divided.
Starting point is 00:21:50 If you can believe that. And now it's not that time to fight for what we think is good. It's the time to stop Leland. And the Republican sweep in Leland is governor. Fuck you Jill Stein. He's governor at 37 years old. Fuck. Imagine that, not happenin' that guy's not 80.
Starting point is 00:22:16 It's almost scarier when you think it like, it's like, do we want that? We want like young sharp people, like, you don't know, he's a good criminal. Instead of people like, eh! Eh! They'll say, you, Mitch, do you need to go back and get put in the charger? How did you have a stoker or pooh-boo? Have you ever struck her a boom boom?
Starting point is 00:22:47 Oh, well, I don't know, but I've been at the same time calling it a boom boom. Well, I remember, I just chose to stop answering. What was asking you questions? I was, in case of no life. No, I'll make it a little. Okay, what? From... From his inaugural address.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Quote, to my mind, it is clear that the settlement among us of an inferior race is to be discouraged by every legitimate means. Can you start that again? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Maybe it's hard because you think it's trumps, but then what I'm also like, what's the pitch? Go ahead again.
Starting point is 00:23:41 To my mind it is clear that the settlement among us of an inferior race is to be discouraged by every legitimate means. What is he doing? I mean, okay, keep going. Asia, with her numberless millions, sends to our shores the drags of our populations. There can be no doubt but that the presence of numbers among us of a degraded and distinct people must exercise a deleterious influence upon the superior race and to an extent repelled desirable immigration.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Fuck me! Oh shit. You'd think for people who arrived on the land you'd be a little more like, Man look, we all came from somewhere else, or I'm gonna say, look, we grew out of the ground in America. This is what we like people that are from. We've from here originally. We've been out on a trade-like fruit. Good Lord. So now the associates are in charge of the government, and they send Judah to DC to lobby. Literally put them in the lobby. And of course, he throws her on money, and pretty soon he's the top staffer on committees
Starting point is 00:25:04 writing the railroad legislation Okay, it's America. Yeah, it's good And if a citizen railway act is passed in July 1862 and the government is now going to issue bonds for railroad companies Who would pay back? Huh with six percent interest in 30 years? No, do we know any railroad companies? Oh Yeah, there's a one really yeah, there's a good one was 6% in just in 30 years. No. Do we know any railroad companies? Oh, yeah. There's one. Really? Yeah, there's a good one.
Starting point is 00:25:30 The associates? Yes. Clarkson, Hanford and James? Yes. No, sir. We're the guys. Wild. So now they would be paid for each mile of rail and they would also get land. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:52 In the deal. Yeah, I mean the deal isn't same. So the associates now start calling themselves the big four. Oh Jesus Christ. So this was actually the first time ever that the government gave land to a corporation. Oh, my God. That's a good start.
Starting point is 00:26:16 That'll be fine. Now they also got, nearby, honoring stone, coal, and Forrest for construction. So the land they're giving was not only on the side of the rails, but also like if there's a forest that they need over there, they get that land too. And then mines, and they're giving them to build the rail well. They're just getting tons of stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:38 And is that because the railroad is like, I mean, I know it's all bullshit, but like the argument is that the rail road is sort of close to a lot of this stuff And you need to supply it. And they gave it to a bunch of guys who didn't have any fucking money Right. So they needed to find it all. And then they went and greased the whales of this Congress to get them a pay for it. And June is the one who's like,
Starting point is 00:26:56 Yeah, that's what we call corruption. Yeah, no, it's what we call Grevac. Keep going. How fucking dare you! David, stop it! Wait, it's country, they're a zombie! Flag's ice on an you! David, stop it! It's good to hear there's something. Stop it! Flags I saw in the end!
Starting point is 00:27:07 Overhouses! The people who were like insisting I'm putting the flags over the bridges, we can have a good laugh. I was driving, I was up near just middle of nowhere. And then this is the flagpole on the mountain. There's no houses around them. So I just put the American flag as a little common nowhere. Because you were thinking, you'd be like, oh yeah!
Starting point is 00:27:30 Yeah. Our bridges in Russia. Our bridges that are like held together by styrofoam people like little flag up. But they'll fire that. From the American. Yeah, you want the infrastructure? I put a little infrastructure right on this bridge.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Yeah, bridges and things made a McDonald. Yeah, these bridges the infrastructure? I put a little infrastructure right on this bridge. Yeah, bridges and bridges made a McDonald's. Yeah, these bridges don't run. Okay, so Crocker handles the construction. No, but Governor Leeland gets the state geologist to declare that the Sierra has started 10 miles before they really did. What? Geologically speaking. The Sierra's a restate of mom. So because the reason they do that is because they were getting an extra 200,000 to put down a mile, or put down rails. So you're telling us the answer to the Syres.
Starting point is 00:28:26 So by declaring it early, they just get a much extra money. The Syres started in Nevada, technically. The Syres now start in Barin County. The Syres. They're actually across the whole nation. So Judah hates the deception. Judah's like, I have morals. So they're like, we want to buy you out.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Okay. So they order to buy you out for $100,000, and he takes it, and then he goes to DC, because he's going to reveal the deception that they're bullying. Okay. And then he dies. Fucking A. Man.
Starting point is 00:29:02 He dies on the trip going there on the ship. On the ship. Whoops. A rat bit me. You're fine. Now, Leland is aggressively pushing for a California tax don't pay for the railroad. Right. And he pushes Placer County to borrow 250,000
Starting point is 00:29:21 and give it to the railroad. OK. And a local assemblyman said, quote, it looks as if this bill was designed to coerce the people, a placer to subscribe for the rail to subscribe to the road by the threat that the road would run around them. That's right.
Starting point is 00:29:35 And then it's right. That's what they're doing. And the town was so freaked out that they did it. They did it. Yeah, because they didn't want to be five pass by the railroad. And that's exactly what they were doing. Right. So SF Bach and SF Just Go is like, we're not going to pay for it. If you're not five pass by the railroad. And that's exactly what they were doing. So SF Bach, the Ascensionist, goes like,
Starting point is 00:29:46 we're not going to pay for it. If you're not going to end the railroad in our city. And then they do the same thing there and the city votes on it. And Leland's brother was seeing quote, throwing out many handfuls of money to voters. She's like a Joker in the original bat. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:04 OK, go ahead. By, hey, oh, hey. By the way, can we go back to that? I'm okay with that system. I think it's at the point now when they offer soul and all that if someone's like, he's $300, you know. Fuck, you got a fucking deal, brother. Fucking go. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Hell yeah. He was throwing actual gold pieces in the air. Oh, my God. He's been on his phone. was throwing actual gold pieces in the air. Oh, that's the honest bullet. It's better. It's what at least you're getting something. So San Francisco and Zabuddin, together row and four were at that.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Nice. The legislature gives it 300,000. Leland, and there he is, sexy motherfucker again. He gets a stink subsidy for 10 Well, that's gonna keep that little gravy way. Yeah, you see gravy. Yeah, when you go for gravy for everything. Yeah Whiskey gravy Gravy found noona's house. All right, leave the room. I want to be alone with the gravy for a little while Gravy found Alright, leave the room. I want to be alone with the gravy for a little while. Oh gravy found. You're the only one with it. That's right, gravy the gravy hat with it.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's gravy. What are you doing in there, Leland? But keep that fucking door shut! Yeah. I'm a little bit hungry a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little to do a little downtown gravy. I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning. I'm burning, I'm burning. Ugh, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:31:55 So hard, baby. It's a real road to go through the gravy. Gravy drink! Who is that? So he gets a subsidy of $10,000 for every mile of track from the state and this ended up being $2.1 million over 20 years. So the Big Four still does not have enough money to do the track. So Crocker resigns as director and started a new company.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I'm going to be Teddy Roosevelt. I will fucking bite you. And son of a bitch! This is my son of a bitch face! God damn. So he resigns as director of the railroad and he starts a new company that builds railroads for railroad companies. He resigns as the director of a railroad company that builds railroads for railroad companies.
Starting point is 00:33:07 It is the director of a railroad company. Yes, and he starts a business that builds railroads for railroads. It's right. I feel like he's still in the railroad business. What are you talking about? I don't know. Well, here's the whole thing. He even knows people in the railroad business.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Oh, no, no, no. And central Pacific gives him a $400,000 contract, and then the press freaks out the daily altar quote, there are responsible parties that would have taken the contract for less than half of that sum. Right. And Crocker's response will show them to me. Cool. Man, that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:33:42 On January 18, 1863, railroad construction begins. A Protestant pastor was there, and he said quote, it's awesome. On January 18, 1966, the federal construction begins. A Protestant pastor was there and he said, quote, it shall be called the way of holiness. Get set out. Pastor, that's good. We're all crazy and that's bananas. What are you doing right now?
Starting point is 00:34:01 This shall be the J-Tavra! No, no, Oh, God! The J. T. Keats! That's a J. T. Keats! What's a J. T. Keats? We're gonna have a long board! Stop! We're gonna ride the mountain!
Starting point is 00:34:19 No! I ain't even different, snow! That was not what he did! Jesus is gonna do some all these. Mighty close to Allah, watch it though. Now the people who have been living on the land, share them for centuries, they had to go. Wow, hey, come on. They should have voted for their proper candidate. Thank you. So, 186th is been called by a
Starting point is 00:34:50 historian of native people as the scene of kidnapping and selling by Europeans. And the white people are like, just you would. Maybe you just ain't seen. This is just for California. This is the California clear. Oh baby, you just ate same thing, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,, right? Take a gun. You were here before, right? Yeah. Okay, here you go. All right. Soldiers were told they could hang on the spot any Indian who had engaged in hostilities past the President. In hostilities? Pastilities. That's against the law that you don't describe to. So... One historian described this as a California's killing machine. Citizens forms mob forms of mobs and attacked.
Starting point is 00:35:51 So while Lee and his government just tons of Native Americans are vascular. He fills a state, he fills a seat on this Supreme Court with... Charles Crocker's brother. Who doesn't understand hair? You mean devil, man? I hope your bird will come in here. What in the name of God? It's called an all-enlightened...
Starting point is 00:36:23 I have Kim Trale-Cam. So people flip out because this is obviously corruption. And he only has a one-year term and then he just goes right back to working for the railroad. Nice. The big four... Really still not comfortable in the name they gave himself. Yeah, what the big four? So the big four kind of slept on Leeland getting nominated again for Republican for governor.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Thinking he was just a shoe in, but a bunch of Republicans are scheming and he doesn't get the nomination. Okay. So he's not going to be governor. Now, Huntington, it goes to DC. Who's that one? Oh, I think it looks like actually... What do you think that the guys is drawing pictures. No, that's not. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Yeah, it's like. So he lobbies in DC. And that is now his job as part of the big forest to go and just grease the wheels and cars. So he gets Congress to double the land that's being given to the railroads and double how much they will pay for each of the Miley Track link. It's just shocking because it's just like, I mean, this was quite a while ago. Yeah, it stills the same. That is, that is.
Starting point is 00:37:35 So they clear around over Daughter Pass. Over Daughter Pass? Yeah. Where the Daughters were? Yeah. And still are a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, when the donters were yep, and still are In like poo form
Starting point is 00:38:00 They were they were there and they went through guy came out I don't know what it is, my uncle doesn't agree with me. So stage coaches, so this is just laying the way the track is going to go, they're clearing it. So essentially they make a road and stage coaches start to using it and then they charge it tall and everybody's fucking furious because're like, the government paid for this. That'll make four cents. They made $1 million a year from the toll. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Every time we go through a toll strike, this is such bullshit. You're back down there like, fuck this. Here you go, it's my move. Like they just give you like, it's just that like, look, will you pay so we fuck off it? Get the fuck out of here, take my quarters.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Yeah, it's still like, what about my taps? Yeah, yeah. Even got that. Yeah. So they... You want an easy pass? That's what I want to think about. Well, that way you don't have to stop it.
Starting point is 00:38:57 You won't think about it as much. But in your pissed off, it'll be an email. It'll be two weeks from now, and you'll be at home. Yes, please, if I have got those options, yes. Fuck. I just remembered I owe it to all of you. Yeah. So, they have-
Starting point is 00:39:16 Well, remember what you sent me when I owed for the toll? You were like, you- It was like $8, you were like, you know, I- It was a principal. It wasn't I didn't want to pay it, it's like I just hated going through the system to figure out how to do it. Oh yeah, and it's the worst. Yeah, they're like, do you want to sit up at a count?
Starting point is 00:39:30 Like, for future fuckings. Do you, oh, I can't even travel where? Can you get easy on me? So when we fuck you in future, it won't charge you the late fee. Would you be in charge? You didn't pay it on time. Cause when you went through it,
Starting point is 00:39:43 remember you were like, I fuck it, I'll figure it out. That's a problem for future me, and then you did, for us another $9. Notice how the roads are bumpy and suck? We are a f***ing... We are a f***ing... Takes a toll, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:40:01 Then we can't help it! Fuck you! Hey there people listening to the dollop, this is Gareth, yes this is the same guy. I have a new podcast called We're Here to Help that I'm doing with my friend Jake Johnson. It's basically a call-in advice show where we don't say that we're professionals because we aren't, but we try to help people with problems that are important to them. You can listen to it wherever you listen to podcasts and it is out right now. So go listen to we're here to help with Jake and Garrett.
Starting point is 00:40:35 We're here to help with Garrett and Jake. I don't remember how we did it, but either way, fun, half hour comes out Tuesday, August 22nd, and episodes will be out every Tuesday and Friday. We're here to help. Choose Business, not boring, with programs ranging from fashion to finance, culinary to commerce, or golf to global business. Apply now at Humber.ca slash business. So, the higher a brutal boss to head the construction.
Starting point is 00:41:07 He is a dude like that very nice. That is James Harvey Stobridge. Stobridge. He had one eye and was known for abusive language. Like a new depression. Fuck you! Like a new depression fuck you He pay the US Marshall to rest anyone who opened a saloon Nearby for not having a license. So if you want to open a saloon to make money to so the workers will come and drink right? Yeah, they like you toss right, you know
Starting point is 00:41:44 So which I don't like this guy, but that's you know, otherwise people were like, you want some gin from a toilet? Like I'm sure it was all bullshit, but still it's just like the idea that anyone was like, I'm a bar. For a back then you just put your tent and you have tanks. Yeah. That's it. I'm a bar. Yeah, that's it. The bar. Yeah, it's just like tailgates. Yeah. So first they hired Irish workers.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Probably. But the Irish keep bailing whenever there's a gold strike nearby. But it's a nice return opportunity, but we're not going to go for now. We got something better Baby wanted to help you and put 10 to 8.5 to 9.5 So Crocker is super racist, but he tells Stobridge to hire Chinese workers. And Stobridge said they're too small to eat rice and fried fish and they're tribal. But I know you want to hire them, but they like fish and rice.
Starting point is 00:43:00 You get my point, yes? Also, they like to hang out in groups. You get my point, yes? Also, they like to hang out in groups. So you're talking about workers who like to hang out in groups and they eat food. For some reason, they don't like to hang out with us and they're kind of clicking off. Unlike the Irish. And for some reason, the Chinese are just hanging out with each other. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:43:27 But Chinese, weirdos. Who would have want to be around a person who hates you? Come on! So Crocker insists and Stobrich'sires 50 and he pays much less than the Irish and He's impressed. He's impressed with how they work Okay, so then they hire thousands of Chinese workers, okay? And the people in Leland that now called the Dregs of Society We're now like in charge of his business. He now called, quote,
Starting point is 00:44:05 quiet, peaceable patient and industrious and economical, ready to learn all the different kinds of work required in reproofability. I don't know why I came around all of a sudden. A-B-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A They also did very dangerous job which led to the term Chinaman's chance So not weird man Why are we vilified? I don't know You don't wonder?
Starting point is 00:44:40 I know we're pretty great And it seems like for the eyes of you and us We provided jobs? Yeah! Yeah, man, it's so great! Like how other white people are doing, like, do the dove. Yeah, stop! Yeah, just get over it, right? Stop saying no white people are doing the dove.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Yeah, stop, yeah, dove. We'll be right back with Joe Rogan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so racist now all the racists are mad at Leeland for hiring Chinese and talking them up and he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out.
Starting point is 00:45:21 And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. And he came out. Jesus Christ! And when the lights are the best for sure! We're using the chimneys and I like how we're using them. You like the chimneys? No! White rules down!
Starting point is 00:45:34 Good, very difficult to process. Good. Well, you tried to make it funny, but it's worse. Obviously, I got it out before that. You want one of those ones. Like, gonna be a lot of times in the show where I'm gonna be like, they've been going anyway, like, he died, and I'm like, right under the white. He's played.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Nope! I'm out of the race! I think I'm gonna a bigger place, huh? He said they didn't breed as much as black people. Oh, Jesus Christ. You know, this guy's an university named Ephraim? You know, this guy's an university named back from? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Did medial jobs and weren't competition for white workers? He said this because they actually allowed white workers to be promoted because they would never promote the Chinese. Oh, OK. What? For a man who knows where he wore a piece of shit. It didn't work. Wow! For a man who knows where he wore a piece of shit! It worked!
Starting point is 00:46:45 Oh and also what he didn't say was that they saved 5.5 million hiring Chinese workers over the construction of the railroad. And in 1967 the Chinese struck for equal wages and hours as whites. I take it all back. I'm grateful so and so. So the big four kept food from reaching the workers, tossed them to starve and give up after a week. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, it's good. It's good. It's good energy in the room. It looks like he's about to throw up. I don't think that gets present anymore. It's either pressed, it tilts going on. So the railroad finally crossed the sears and begins descending down the other side. There's no specific meet-up foot. So there's the tracks coming from the east and the ones come up
Starting point is 00:47:47 But they haven't picked a meet-up spot for the tracks to meet to meet is that Not and I don't know much but I didn't use I didn't play with trains as a kid having something I'd be like oh that needs to do you go that way? You start from like the middle and it's they and I just like oh no They won't be able to make it. It'll be like speed. You're gonna be fine. What should we do here?
Starting point is 00:48:13 Mmm. Hopefully they're good. The Chinese will figure it out. They're at worst than us. Let them figure it out. So the idea was the president's gonna pick a place, but that really doesn't work. He's over there in the White House like, what am I here? What when this job that is so-
Starting point is 00:48:34 Mr. President, what do you want to go like up? What do you think? What do you think? There? I think they can't I can't tell. Oh. Da-ruh? Okay, we're trying.
Starting point is 00:48:52 My wrestling? Ah! Hold my hat. So, the government is paying to grade land 300 miles ahead of the tracks. The government is paying to grade land 300 miles ahead of the tracks. The government is paying to grade. They're flattening the land. They're trying to figure out. So, 300 miles out for the land.
Starting point is 00:49:14 So, they're like, way ahead. So, this leads to the two companies passing each other. What did it? Whoa! What a minute! And grading side by side for 250 miles because they're trying to make money. And they can see each other. They're thinking, hey! I'm fucking dumb as man! And they're going to be so rich. They just keep grading because
Starting point is 00:49:44 they, they tell the government's like, Well, well, well, stop! Why? What's the matter? We're getting checks over here, baby! No! That's tracks are side by side! What are you, I do not even know what you're doing! What? Oh! I would do it by doing making money!
Starting point is 00:49:59 Ah, ha! Okay, yeah, I guess this is a pretty good idea, honestly. So, wow, this is, okay, yeah, I guess this is a pretty good idea, honestly. So, wow, this is going on. Leland and Jenny have their only child. She's Leland Jr. After Leland Jr. is born, the two whales finally meet at what is called the Promontory Summit. And they hold the big ceremony, that's the ceremony.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Oh, man, we're gonna do this a year ago. Woo! And the last spike is a golden spike in Leland. So dumb. Leland's a little bit dumbest. He takes the first thing. So dumb. Any misses?
Starting point is 00:50:38 Oh my god. And I say just check these people laughing. Yeah. Do they? they invited out... That is so dumb. They're golden spite? All of it. The idea is like, what you did is like you could have 250 fucking clients.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Woo! Finally! Awesome! So after the ceremony, invite people into his real car for champagne, oh why don't you, sorry I should be kidding, not anyway. He's got an fancy car and he gives a speech and he says this is what it was. Quote, Stanford made a severe attack upon the government. He went so far as to claim that the subsidy, instead of being able to benefit, had rather been a detriment with the conditions they had placed upon it. You see, this is what drives me crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:34 It's not the getting fucked. It's when they're like, words but thank you. The like the show voting of the fucking where they're just like how great was that? You're like, but that like everything's worse. It's like you're welcome. God, that's guy, huh? That's fucking negative. They're lying to the government getting money and they're building it. Yeah, they're building the... It's all bullshit. And he's like some people would have said we couldn't have done this easier.
Starting point is 00:52:02 But look at where we are today. Yeah. We get 250 miles extra fun track. So then one of the head construction guys who have been working on the east side yelled out, quote, Mr. President of the Central Pacific, if this subsidy has been a detriment to the building of these roads, I move you, sir, that it be returned to the U.S. government with our compliments. And everyone cheered. And people quoted that guy for years. I like the way that he, like, I feel like that quote was kind of jipped up a little
Starting point is 00:52:40 because the way he addresses him, what does he call him, Mr. President of the... Railroad. Yeah. What is he called Mr. President of the Railroad? Yeah, he is the president. I know, but it's like, you know, he'd be like, sir, Mr. President of the Railroad. I think it's a lot of words. So now the railroads done the big four plan to control as much of the traffic to the west coast
Starting point is 00:53:01 as they possibly can. Cool. And they made a new railroad company called Southern Pacific to buy rail coast as they possibly can. Cool. And they made a new railroad company called Southern Pacific to buy railroads all over the state. So all the little railroads popping up, the local ones. So Leeland now buys a shipping company to control all river shipping. My God.
Starting point is 00:53:17 And people begin calling the big four, their business, the octopus. So they create the contracted finance companies to do all the work at maintenance of the central Pacific and they make crocker the president. So it does stuff like buy a railroad tie for 10 cents and then they sell it to their own railroad for 20 cents. Man, so good.
Starting point is 00:53:39 So a massive profit for the big four. Yeah, right. Now, Hudson Tune doesn't like how much Lealyn is taking in salary. And can you imagine at this point in that movie, that twice as much money that he can't spend for the rest of his days to see me? He thinks Leelin will cause them trouble because he was, quote, mad at the human race.
Starting point is 00:54:03 That's not great. I'll be in the gravy room. I finally got the pool of gravy. Now no one knows that they're control-solving Pacific Railroad. They've secretly bought it. So Los Angeles wants a big railroad. It still exists. And that's where we'll stop. So the big four and another company make offers. And the two companies plans are put on the ballot.
Starting point is 00:54:38 And people are like fighting in the street. Like they create so much chaos with their propaganda. Like friends are literally having fist fights in this dream over this boat That'll happen And the big four are with and now they have a rebel and not be on Los Angeles. They have a real or what? The novel, okay, so they're trying to repeat this across the state Stockton Really?
Starting point is 00:55:01 Woo! Really? I mean, I have relatives who have lived in Lodai, so I'm familiar with Stockholm. I really never thought anybody would say woo! But he... It's what? It's the most diverse city in California. It's what Dave hates it, bro. It's like it had a Dave Lee L Lee and Anthony over here.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Look, congratulations on the diversity. So Stockton pushes back. They're like, we're not going to do that. So, Leland builds a railroad 10 miles south to go around Stockton and prove his point. And now if a town doesn't give in, Leland goes there and says, we will do to you what we did to Stockton and prove his point. And now if a town doesn't give in, Leeland goes there and says, we will do to you what we did to Stockton. So maybe they say, right, it's essentially like an Amazon factory opening in here.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Yeah, yeah, they're like, look, good for business, but fuck you, all right, fuck it. So Leeland is now ahead of 20 railroad companies and a shipping line. What the fuck? And they're building towns along the... They're building towns.
Starting point is 00:56:28 They would build a town next to a rail line. So they can now write. They just build a boom town base. They're a little town. They build a town. They're like, this is a big stop. People will go there because it's along the rail. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:42 And they start buying up the property that they were given by the government. So they're basically designing the map. They're basically like, here's a great town.

That's where he hit that gold spike? Yes. The artist spends four years on it, and Lealand will come in and give him critiques and tell him to do things, switch things out. And then he finally sees the final product, and he looks at it and he says quote,
Starting point is 01:01:06 what nonsense is that? And he refuses to pay for it. Well, the painter was owed because it was four years of work, $25,000, which he just... What is his note?

I don't have any rooms to hang it up in any way! So he doesn't pay the guy. He also looked into having a statue of himself made.

And we let him, like, system that rewards that, but they're like, I'm so smart. So smart, because I made money by being fucking worst. So I took out why this happened, but in 1876, the big force sue attorney Alfred Cohen.
Starting point is 01:03:59 And he serves them back. The most normal looking guy in the whole story. Hello. Hi, how are you? Hi, how are you? I have enough to live on. That will do. Just got a psychopath. It's just trying to get fuck human. So he says the back saying their company is offense.

Starting point is 01:04:36 So he's just not like a badger's attack against face with minimal blood. It's Christ. So his, um, Alfred's a good writer. His quotes during the trial are constantly being run in the press. Here's one quote. There is Mr. Stanford, the heavy character of the plot, Sullen, remorseless, grand gloomy and peculiar,

Starting point is 01:06:45 growl and a party while the attendant actors held their breaths and awe. Bassafundo. So, Cohen loses and he then publishes a pamphlet, Mocking Leelin, called the California King. And it is a huge hit and is read for years, and he would send it to everyone. And Huntington said that it's actually costing them money because it's so humiliating. Right. But I mean, costing them money is like, where might, well, it will be fine. But still, a bullshit. So he's still mad that the government gave him all that money that created his fortune. He's mad?
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah, he's still mad at the government. And he would have, he would have friends over in a dinner and he would rant against the government and they were all tired of his rants. He said the government was quote, pounding them for the pound of flesh, meaning they're like, well, you got to pay us back for the lows at some point. The government wants him to pay back. At some point, not yet.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Yeah. We're not asking for money back. It does some money to pay them back. Yes. Right. It's just one of those things. A satirist began calling him Leland Steely. Leland Steely.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Leland Steely Landfruit. So even the Sacramento Daily Union now turns on the big four, so they bought the Sacramento record to counter it, but that didn't work, so they just bought the Daily Union. Hey, Washington Post. So now people are like, they realize that the rails have a, just a very few guys rich, not the many as was promised. Cause they were like, this is gonna make everybody well. Sure, the railroad comes, everyone's gonna run, gonna be hung on the hog. It's the motor rail.
Starting point is 01:08:32 And truth, California manufacturers are competing with cheap East Coast products, so they're actually getting fucked. And X-Railroad workers increase census going to be unemployment by 25%. It's just a lot. Yeah, that's what Dennis Carey pops up. He's leading a tax against Chinese workers.
Starting point is 01:08:56 There's rides in 1877. He's leading a tax against Chinese workers? Yeah, the Chinese, because we did a whole podcast on that. I don't remember. I don't remember. What am I like to do that to me? It's fun. It's fun.
Starting point is 01:09:13 We did a podcast on that. I researched it 20 hours, you sat there for an hour. You know, remember? It's 600. Fuck off. So all the riots are going on, Leela has the chief of police to send men to protect his mansion. Yeah. The guy who created the hate against Asian workers and then employed them and then let
Starting point is 01:09:44 them all go to be unemployed that makes the situation worse. Now you're like, can you help? The Chinese are being irrational again. For some reason. So, Lee Linsworth is a concern about Lee Lins greed. I imagine someone in that group being like, he's the loudest control man. I think he's funny, I agree. Well, they learned how much each have taken in cash from the company.
Starting point is 01:10:12 Hopkins took $800. Crocker took $32,000. And Leeland took a quarter of a million. He's the game took $800. Yeah. Wait, how'm taking 100? Yeah. Oh, wait, how much was it? Oh, boy, I really... I just bought the clothes.
Starting point is 01:10:32 I didn't understand. That's his house? I thought I'm gonna look at a hotel. Holy fuck! That's like somehow like extra cash they're taking. Like besides the salaries. Right, but even then, like, Leland.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Yeah. Good. Go away. I'm going to fuck this money. I made a money lady. So now Leland draws up a plan for them to take over the entire American West. Quote, I would like to work up to this.
Starting point is 01:11:01 We can develop an empire. How old is he? It's 78 so he is 50s I mean just like No, no, he needs to be that the whole that's stop I mean, there's like 1800s like how long are you planning on living like it's some some point just be like I mean Green is like a tapeworm. Oh, I think once you start, you're just totally...
Starting point is 01:11:30 I know, but at some point, you just be like, I'm like... I'm like, I'm a tap. You know, I hear China's lovely. I'm like, I'm excited. Retire. Now, Hawkins dies suddenly in March 1878. So the three end their front company and they start a new one, Pacific Improvement Company. Oh, the names.
Starting point is 01:11:54 It constantly borrows in the railroads, obscuring profits and though for how much could be paid back to taxpayers. So now besides just taking the profit of selling them so stuff for more. Now they're actually saying it's not a profitable company and it's great. So they had been given millions of acres of land to develop but most are sitting on use. So settlers are now pouring into the central clueless. It's good for them land, right? So, some of them are called in the squatters, and they take it to a judge, and a judge agrees, now they own the judge, but whatever. Some of these settlers are ex-confederate soldiers,
Starting point is 01:12:35 and they say the railroad promised to sell them land for a few bucks a night. Okay. And the government gave the railroad that land, so they should get there. Very tough position right now So are we about to make the ex-conferred soldiers? Hello?
Starting point is 01:12:49 So ex-conferred soldiers hated them Okay Let me try Can I get another one? Yeah, there you go, drinky, drinky Could I have another one too, sir? Can I have another one too, sir? Can I have another one too, sir? Can I have another one too, sir? Can I have another one too, sir? Can I have another one too, sir? Can I have another one too, sir? Can one of you get to do this anything with you?
Starting point is 01:13:06 Huh? Excuse me? Huh? What did you say? Nothing. So, Hunter didn't want to compromise, so they were just working out with these guys, you know, they're... Lillie went and speaks to them. He goes and talks to the squatters and March 8, and he and- Fuck you!
Starting point is 01:13:25 Get the fuck out! Uh, pissed, and this bullshit. Thank you. Well, he- he tells them means like, we're gonna work this out. Why promise to work it out? Uh, we'll find a compromise and then two years later he begins infecting them. That doesn't confirm this. Yeah, we didn't kill ya.
Starting point is 01:13:43 Well, the evictions lead to a compromise. We met you halfway, which for us means we crisscrossed 250 miles in the other direction. The evictions lead to a compromise, it's 700 kilp, so they did. Got the joke in early, that's what I do. Can't help me out for the Yes, the joke is slider. So, Leland is in Europe. He's on a shopping trip with his family when the event is happening. What? A mother?
Starting point is 01:14:15 Imagine in 1870 he's going on a shopping trip to Europe. Yeah, how fucking rich are you? Oh, yeah. Also, what the fuck are you like? Should we get this role? Yeah, I don't like it. Oh, yeah. Also, what the fuck are you like, should we get this rule? We'll out of fits, great. So 17 guys are a dieted five or five guilty,
Starting point is 01:14:33 and they're giving eight months in jail. It's the five. Logos treat them as martyrs. They could leave the jail to get their mail or go to church. What to get their mail? They have birthday parties thrown in the jail. They're having a jail. Yeah, they're having a fucking ball.
Starting point is 01:14:58 What do they guys matter? May I go check my mail again? I would be mind-blowing, I'm supposed to get an honor soon. May I go to the mail? One of the guys marries a jailer's daughter. Plankers. For Leon's temper, it's a PR disaster. This is a tipping point for the public on their hatred of Leon.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Like this is when it goes over the rails. Oh, go? I'm going to be here. You didn't mean to do that. More like Jenna Chronic, right? Thank you. It's better be here, everyone. So, it's a lot. In 1881, Leland is in France and he's touring vineyards and he's like, I would like one of these.
Starting point is 01:15:55 So he has railroad treasure by land near Chico and then he transfers it to Leland. And then he has another guy do the same thing. So that guy happened to be on the California Railroad Commission has another guy do the same thing. So, that guy happened to be on the California Railroad Commission, which overseas the railroad. Anyway, Leland now has the largest vineyard in the world. Oh, fuck it ain't. Gotta go back baby! He has three-elige Chinese workers with him. Oh, this guy! This is awful all white people. The land, it's called Vena, and it became so big at a village of 1300, two hotels and five saloons. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:16:34 But it's a shimhole. It's full of degenerates and shimmy people. The wine is bad. The wine was called, quote, hardly drinkable. Well, that's a bad brand. Yes, hardly drinkable. Finally, the wine is deathful. hardly drinkable. He had bought the wrong grapes for the climate. And then on top of that, they... They're cherries!
Starting point is 01:17:01 Fuck! That's set up a bitch! I'm gonna get a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of This guy fucked me so hard. So this led to insects destroying the roots. So then these switches from wine to a grape brandy. Alright, which you're probably like, I haven't heard of that. There's a reason why we don't have brandy. Can I have another granny please? Two more grantees for me and my man! Let's get around to grantees! The granny was so bad it was described as medicinal brandy.
Starting point is 01:17:56 That's it! You know that brandy was bad what if we were medicine in it? Oh, a granny. It's not just your grandpa anymore. So now, Lila, who's trying to also buy his land in a place called Palo Alto, South of San Francisco. Now, the big three is all their latest front company, creating a new one, the Pacific and Bruma Company. These names. Accountants go over the books and they find a million dollars as missing.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Uh-huh. account, go over the books and they find a million dollars is missing. And an old financial director it turns out in loan himself a million dollars and didn't tell anyone and then he died. So the big free go to the widow and they're like we'll forgive the debt if you sign over the railroad securities your husband left okay so she does but then later on she feels swindled and she sews you. Okay, so she does. But then, later on, she feels swindled, and she sews them. Okay. And for whatever reason they don't settle this lawsuit, and they hired a great lawyer, the big three, Alfred Cohen, the big four.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Our man, our man. The guy who would sue them and written the pamphlet. But the widow has tons of letters between her husband and the big four. And that part of the trial, the big red-aloud and court. Oh no! Hopefully he didn't get into too much to tail. Normally with this stuff they didn't. So it's just letter after letter about their manipulation of the press, when optimizing
Starting point is 01:19:21 the railroads. They're talking shit about each other. They're talking, especially, I didn't know a little about Leland and they're talking shit about Jenny. Oh, okay. Did you want after Jenny? Uh, not sweet Jenny. Not sweet all over the map of emotional Jenny.
Starting point is 01:19:39 Not our exuberant joy film, Jenny. Not Jenny who didn't always look like she was on the toilet. Not Jenny. Not sweet Jenny. Should I dress? Not Jenny. In the end, she loses the lawsuit, but the damage from the letters is huge.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Right. So the big thing to make it gobs of money, in California people are are done with the failed attempts to create a rebel watchdog like a commission oversee it right so a convention is held and they rewrite the constitution and the main reason is to create a commission and the three man wrote I think you couldn't do that what I know that you couldn't do that what do you mean we're doing the constitutional oh yeah no that doesn't that's not a thing no but They couldn't do that. What? I know that you couldn't do that. What do you mean? Rudy the Constitution.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Oh, yeah, no, that doesn't. That's not a thing. Shh. No, but the Senator has an in his pocket. It's not real dirtbag at Leeland. It was soon publishing reports and quotes statements that sounded as though they came directly from Southern Pacific Legal Department. One guy in the commission was buying land cheap and then selling it to a guy named Leeland Stanford for big profits. Now the stakers at this point have a lot of illness. They're older than the food. Yes. Something called taking the cures, taking the waters is a cure at the time.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Taking the waters? I can't wait. So doctors telling all rich people to go to spas. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Specifically spas in Germany. Oh, yeah! It's very easy. We put a river inside you. Take the waters. It'll be fine. The spas have butlers and maids and cubs. That's right.
Starting point is 01:21:40 He's still spas. So you can spend months there. Yeah, that's right. And now their kid, Junior, he would sometimes go. Now Junior's a spying. So you can spend months there. Yeah, that's right. And now their kid, Junior, he would sometimes go, that Junior's a rich kid. They interest him to velvet suits until an uncle put a stop to it. Jesus Christ, listen to me.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Stop. It's my nephew you want to want to kick his ass. Look at him. Look at him. I mean, look at him. Look at him. Jesus. Fuck look at him. Look at him. Jesus. Fuck.
Starting point is 01:22:07 He got everything he wanted and as a boy, he collected antiques and art. Oh, it's one of those things that are like, you're a painter, you're a whole life, and then a ten, you're like, I don't like it. You're like, I'm gonna have a fucking better brush, really.
Starting point is 01:22:24 I can't. I love it. I, you know, I'm gonna fucking put a brush in the middle. I can't. I know man, what the chill is. Well, you should have made it for your birthday. Now that I shot towards you again, I hate you, my man, I hate you. And I hate Danny, and I hate Batman. And I was just born to a regular family. Blair! I'll be in the top!

Starting point is 01:23:04 I'm in the top! I'm in the top! I'm in the top! I'm in the top! I'm in the top! Because I never knew what heart is, my perspective is just... Gated, but sticked, then, get it. I had a bad dream, and that's as tough as it gets. What do you mean I can't have another caramel? I'm one in one! Let's the worst! I'm relevant dead! Oh! Fudge or doom? Oh, just so mad.
Starting point is 01:23:39 So... Yeah! Oh! That's it! I'll just beat that Shapiro! That Barbie movie didn't make any sense! I mean, that was never like anyone like Barbie! If I can't be Barbie, then nobody can be. I went to sort them on Mary YouTube. Oh, I can't even handle it, Mami.
Starting point is 01:24:15 Why was Patelolary not wearing that, Mami? Oh, Barbie, you're not not wrong. You betrayed the doll you were. I don't even like dolls, but how do you make a broth out of a doll? Oh, that's f- oh, oh, oh, oh. Just because I can't make my wife come, it means that you think I have a proper genitalia? Oh, the girl of you, not. You'll see, when I grab her, I've eaten more evil than Leeland.
Starting point is 01:24:42 You have been leaving, will you? No, you can't. Oh, oh, they've made a movie about a doll and it didn't appeal to a third eight year old man. That's a no. Oh, mommy, no. My pillows won't fly. A bit of sunlight came in this morning when I didn't want it.
Starting point is 01:25:07 There's no God, I don't believe it when it isn't when they caught me one. Just trusting? Now, let me guess, you feel some pervadeous because I went out of the run. Fine, move on, read your story, you'll see if I like it. Furn. When he was 15 he became ill with time for the hero. I never thought I was gonna fucking fly there, you know. I'm not gonna get a joke with Max. I'm gonna make it, don't you worry about me. I am a type of typhoid.
Starting point is 01:26:08 That would be a typhoid. Typhoid would you die for me? So they were in Milan at the time and they summoned famous doctors for Rome and Paris, one rap junior in ice. It's just made him terrible. What if he's in a different kind of pain? But I don't want to be put in lots of ice. Now is the place a rational.
Starting point is 01:26:36 But I'm like plenty freezing. This is much worse than the bad dream. Yeah, I bet. But now I understand where complaints are on. Oh, the perspective is just crashing down on me! Oh, dear! He died on March 13th, 18th. Under the water.
Starting point is 01:26:57 By-phone! The statfords were crushed. They brought his body back and had a series of funeral possessions over eight months. They had him lying, sad, in Paris and New York and San Francisco. Everybody wants to see a good boy. Honestly, it's like, it's not the Alton John Fairwell. It was real sad. It only gives a shit. And not a lot of people came out for the Paris one.
Starting point is 01:27:28 Lee then pushed the legislature to pick him to be senator in 1885. The boy? No. Well, I made a fine son concert. I say keeper keep her in. Just keep her in there. Bluffer again. It's gonna be hilarious.
Starting point is 01:27:54 Has anyone even tried to give her a spinach? Hey, giggling. Now, leave this mhing for himself to be Senator, and Huntington has been backing someone else for a while, so he's really mad because they pick Leland. And now, Huntington wants revenge on Leland, and he begins quietly plotting. Leland's Senator is known for frequent and long absences. He passed no bills and called being a senator Erksem. But that is the standard now, right? I was busy.
Starting point is 01:28:43 I remember when we were at 30 days ago, what do annoying. I was busy. I remember we had 30 days of year. What do you expect? You're gonna miss a couple of bucks. In April 1886, Crocker was street racing, another railroad executive in a carriage in grass. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:58 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is that the other way? Gentlemen, ready to horses. He was thrown from his buggy and had broken ribs in a concussion. Now he had built a massive spa in Monterey and he went there to recover.
Starting point is 01:29:17 The big three by the sexual... Whoop, sorry. Right, let's all relax. Obviously, Dave's about to take us on a fantasy train. You said sexual. Oh, I did? Yes, Central. Central? You heard sexual.
Starting point is 01:29:32 I'm thinking sexual. What a train. The big three bought central Pacific, brought central Pacific into Southern Pacific and created a new company which they registered in Kentucky where there were no railroads but also no taxes. So it's not the bid of the guys who made money of government corruption. Actually, big tax. Well, at least now we have to go to like the Caribbean islands, you know,
Starting point is 01:30:05 it's much more Nevada. Yeah. In March in 1887, the government investigated what happened to all the money that had been given to the railroads. Finally, the Pacific Railroad Commission was created and Huntington testified first. He said they got some public aid, but but quote it is not turned out to be a any particular benefit to the company they received 20 self-in-million and that was an include land. 27 million then then then 400 billion dollars in
Starting point is 01:30:40 today's money. One yacht. The commission asked for a company receipts and he said, no, he never asked for them and didn't keep ledgers. No, should we be doing that? What book could keep? Because a good deal like great to me, and I'd never learn either. No. No.
Starting point is 01:30:58 Would you like to eat my ass? That's why we were tokens. I just lifted up. Oh my God, it's good to laugh. Isn't it just fun to have a good laugh? It's all just such a nice idea. Why do you have time now, you buy ass. You are proper.
Starting point is 01:31:27 You will testify next. He said the commission had no jurisdiction because central pacific was incorporated in California, but he cooperated anyway. And then he said taxpayers owed him money, not the other way around. I like that move. I like that move. I like that move. That's the thing. All right, let's be in the middle of it.
Starting point is 01:31:49 He knows any. Nobody knows anyone anything. I sense that. What would a American band, if rightly said that, a guy in Rano with a sword cut his head off? We can't say what they're saying. Cheers. Cheers.
Starting point is 01:32:01 Almost just what happened. One would have, but He said the railroad actually lost him then 36 million due to government meddling. And then he said a lot of documents are gone. We don't have the documents. One of the receipts. He said we had a guy who handled the documents. His name is Hopkins and he's dead. He's dead. And we don't want who handed the dot, handled the documents, his name's Hopkins, and he's dead. He's dead.
Starting point is 01:32:26 And we don't want to talk about this. We dishonored his life if we tried to figure this out. He testified for seven days and called it in inquisition. Your views to answer it? So many questions that the commission went to court to try to force him to respond. And the court of appeals rule, they couldn't force him. Leland also owned two of the three judges on the court of appeals.
Starting point is 01:32:54 Pretty good. The company had actually destroyed the documents. A lawyer later revealed, quote, we had a big bonfire down in the governor's office. We were making a sort of cleanup with the time, getting rid of all checks and worthless papers. You would have found your eyes sticking out if you had seen what went into that fire. I have a lawyer. Oh my God. I can't believe you're actually figuring this out.
Starting point is 01:33:28 This included the names of the people they've arrived and for how much? The commission concluded the big four and used government money to fight the government. Oh, like climate change. And here we go. The agenda. Thank you so much. Thank you. I can't like climate change. And there we go. The agenda. So far. I can't believe we're getting subsidies.
Starting point is 01:33:49 Everything else. I can't believe we're getting subsidies. I can't believe we're getting subsidies. Everything else. I can't believe we're getting subsidies. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else.
Starting point is 01:33:57 Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else. I have you full. They also, they also, they destroyed documents
Starting point is 01:34:06 to hide illegality and that they had made $118 million. The US budget was $312 million. That's a big, you take a break, look at that. It's 1887. The government could not sue because the debt still wasn't due yet. My boy. It's a 30 year, it's a 30 year.
Starting point is 01:34:32 I mean, what the fuck? The government's like, wow, that was a bad idea. We did an Alex Rodriguez deal with the GDP. Now, Crocker never recovered from the accident. he died in August 1888. So now the big three are the big two. And Leeland wants to remain a senator even though he doesn't like it, so he makes a deal. Huntington agrees to help him if Leeland was stepped down as president of the railroad company and Huntington would take over. So, Leeland agreed to it. And then it was very sad Leeland went home.
Starting point is 01:35:09 Jenny Secretary wrote quote, he appeared to have grown years older than when he had left in the morning. Mrs. Stanford was very much unlocked. They're sad. They're sad. That's good. I feel like they did it, they came, you okay? Don't drink the water in the fountain. Ten years old. He told the secretary that being a railroad president was, quote, very dear to him.
Starting point is 01:35:40 Bro, you weren't real, were I fuck off? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Well, I don't think anything was related to the... ...Several run. He... ... ... ... ... ...
Starting point is 01:36:13 ... Huntington, so Huntington quickly starts firing him from the company that Layla was supposed to. And then he attacks Layla in an interview and five days later the board makes, I'm going to write a letter of apology to Leeland. Jesus, but then days later he attacks him again in the paper. Okay. So Leeland now that he's out of the railroad,
Starting point is 01:36:35 then he's just the center of areas and he doesn't care about doing it. But he now focuses on a college that he wants to create. Well, it was to be a memory of Junior, but also to keep Jenny busy. What? Keep my wife busy and did- Hey, go, here's a college, dude. Little project. On the property, he had a moussely and built for himself,
Starting point is 01:36:59 Jenny and Junior. Oh, Christ. That's, yeah, J. Time. Junior. Yeah. Yeah, Christ. That's yeah. J. Time. J. Time. Yeah. Cremate that area. Students started in the fall of 1891. The old sickly land took his sixth trip to Europe in 1892 to take the water.
Starting point is 01:37:18 He had gout, he was going deaf, and had a hard time walking. Yeah. Yeah. It's okay. It's okay when they stop her. I know, but it's like so late. It's the same thing with McConnell, whatever. Yeah, yeah. Come on, name a note. Don't name a note.
Starting point is 01:37:36 No. The puncture of the book is a stick. Yeah. Right in the neck nuts. All the hurt my balls. The uptack. way to the neck nuts. I'll hurt my balls. I'll cough my balls. I'll cough my balls.
Starting point is 01:37:53 He returns to America in the spring of 1893. He was looking horrible. But on June 21st, he had a massive stroke and died. He was 69. His lawyers found drawers full of hundreds of thousands in uncashed checks in his office. Like she's a semi-tasic caddy chef. Mitch Edwards, the tall room. Oh God. Hotel. True. He said, the temperance of the tall room. Oh God. But tell me the truth.
Starting point is 01:38:29 But his estate was in deep debt. Jenny had, so even though he had all his money, he has been just spending my crazy, the vineyard and all the shit. He's in debt. Crazy. And Jenny has to fire, this is so fucking deep. She has to fire 14 or 17 circles.
Starting point is 01:38:48 What? She's going to have to go through? Who's going to floss me? The other three were not paid for a year. You want to be laid off. Yeah, at times the workload for nothing. I appreciate you doing this. More waffles.
Starting point is 01:39:14 So other relatives fight over the estate and it goes on for six years. The US government came after the $15 million owed and they got their Jenny for the money owed. Now hunting did offers to help because the government is coming for him too so he helps with the defense. And in 1896 this agreed court rules for Jenny. One justice is one of the guys owned by the leader. Okay. The big four were not personally liable and just the company.
Starting point is 01:39:51 That was what they can do. Okay. Construction on the University of Brazil, today Stanford University has a state constitutional exception from having to pay state property tax. Oh! Oh my God, they're all religion. Oh.
Starting point is 01:40:06 This allows Stanford to receive property when people die. They can give it to Stanford. And if you imagine doing that? To Stanford. Several millionaires have left property in their will. Why? Because the Stanford tax Exception was a return for never charging students to tuition.
Starting point is 01:40:30 That sounds like you're a California student. You should be able to go to Stanford for free. In 1821, the legislature just deleted that provision and Stanford began charging tuition, but still didn't pay taxes. Stanford today has a bank account of $22 billion. My God! Most of which comes from being a tax-free nonprofit corporate.
Starting point is 01:40:56 It's college scienceology, yeah, it's called a time call. Fuck! That's it, that's it. That's the end of the story. It's called a time call. Fuck! That's it, that's it. It's a nice story. Is it a guy from the governor's mansion now? No, that's cool. No, no. No? No. It's for me No, no. No? No.
