All right, everybody. So, God damn, the board in here has so. much static electricity. I don't understand where it all comes from, but it's like the most aggressive static electricity ever in this place. Just fucking nuts. It's the level of static electricity that hurts. The other day, I put on my headphones and like, I just felt this gigantic shock in my brain. So, anyway, I know you got your own problems. I guess it happens in a place where it's, you know, cold and the heats on and shit. Because this didn't happen during the summer. It did not happen during the summer. But anyway, here we are, everybody.

We elect really stupid people to be our representatives and our politicians. And there are a lot of dumb ones. But someone who's really, really stupid, seemingly really stupid, is a woman who is a city council person in Memphis, Tennessee, just real, bless her heart. this woman is a special brand of dumb because she's kind of like conspiracy theorist dumb, but she's like NBA player conspiracy theorist dumb, like flat earth type people, you know? And it's weird because there's a certain group of people who are allowed to have conspiracy theories and we can't check them on them. We just accept it like, yep, that's fine.

You know, all the other dumb conspiracy theories people have are challenging like the Wuhan lab leak and all this shit that the masks didn't help or anything like that. You say that and you're an asshole and you should be banished for life from everything. But some of these people who we elect into office say some of the dumbest, most reprehensible, stupid shit. And we're just like, oh, okay, fine. Well, this woman in Memphis, Tennessee has issue with the snow. And she doesn't believe that the snow they are getting in Memphis is real. That's right.

She believes that somehow there is fake snow. being pumped in. Now, I have not seen stories where she follows up on this and clarifies why she believes. I heard why she thinks it's fake. But, like, I'd like to know, like, why she thinks there's fake snow being pumped into Memphis. I think I know why she probably feels the way she does. It probably has something to do with the word race. There's always something to do with that, right? There's some sort of racial issue that people consider the conspiracy theories for. But I don't know what reason the government or what reason anybody else would be pumping in fake snow into Memphis, Tennessee. But this is an older black lady who is a city council person in Memphis, Tennessee.

So this is a news story from Memphis where you get to hear from this lady who, well, she's actually, it's two city council members who are involved in this. This story's from a couple days ago. I at this point have not found any follow-up. Like, where is the follow-up to the stupidity of these people? I don't know. But if you don't know the story, let's play this audio from the local news in Memphis. Right now, two Memphis City Council members are under fire over their claims about the snowfall.

In separate videos on social media, Yolanda Cooper Sutton and Pearl Walker both claimed the snow wasn't real and even used a lighter to melt a chunk of ice. CW30s Ezekiel's Ezekiel picks up our live team coverage. Ezekiel, you reached out to Walker who is standing by her claims. That's right, Pepper. Oh, wrong button. There we go. And a lot of these people usually do that, by the way. They stand by their claims despite the fact that their claims will be disproven.

That's how people operate. Like, if they've convinced themselves that some conspiracy theory is true, they just ride with it. Now, to a degree, it's commendable, right? Like, there's a way I kind of admire it. Like, you sit back and you go, wow, you were willing to just die on this hill. You are that committed to this absurdity. Like, I wish I could be that committed to anything. I can waffle in five fucking minutes.

These people commit to these weird conspiracy theories and just double down. You'll hear this woman in a second. Not only does she just stay with it, she doubles down on her belief that the snow is not real, that the snow in Memphis, Tennessee is not authentic snow. And she had a lot to share, especially when it came to the idea that weather can be modified by man. But one thing that she didn't do was walk back what she said, which is that the snow in Memphis doesn't quite feel like snow. I'm not going to deny my reality because of someone else's comfort zone or lack thereof.

Okay, so I like when we start with my reality. Like people have their own realities, but there's only one reality. Reality is reality, right? So the idea that, well, that's my reality. Well, there's a lot of people who've convinced themselves of a reality and called it their reality. But reality is reality. A Memphis Councilwoman who represents District 3 spoke with ABC 24 about comments that she had made on her personal Facebook page suggesting that the snow in Memphis was man-made. When I was engaging on Facebook, I was not engaging in an official district three councilwoman capacity.

All right, so that's good news. So, yes, she's saying really dumb shit on social media, but like not an official capacity. So what we compared it to this morning was like, she's using the Hulk Hogan gawker argument. Like, look, Hulk Hogan has a 10-inch penis. Terry Belaya does not have a 10-inch penis. So in this woman's mind, she is someone who because she's not acting as the city council person on Facebook, it's okay that she says something ridiculously stupid like the snow in Memphis is not real. mind you, these are the idiots that people elect.

Like, you can't even really be mad about it because people elect these people. It's actually a pretty solid strategy, though, you should always use. Like, I imagine, like, I don't know how this city council person feels. But, like, let's say that there's someone who's, like, in a position of power or something or authority, like a police officer. Let's say there's a police officer in Memphis, a white police officer. And he says some shit about, I don't know, ICE. and he's very pro-ice or he says something racial. They find out that this gentleman said the N-word.

Does he just come out and go, well, yeah, I said the N-word, but I didn't do it in the official capacity being the local sheriff. I did it on my personal Facebook, and that's a little bit different. When I was engaging on Facebook, I was not engaging in an official district three councilwoman capacity. I think you're always in an official district three councilwoman capacity. woman capacity because you are a councilwoman. That's like Trump being like, look, when I'm in the White House, I'm Trump, but when I go to Twitter, I'm just Don. I'm Donnie.

Like, that's not how that works. You are always the president and you are always a city council person. Again, this isn't the most offensive shit I've ever heard that some dumb woman in Memphis thinks that the snow is fake. I've heard dumber things and worse things said by people in positions of authority and positions of power. but it is scary that these are the people we elect. I'm not trying to be that guy, but when people say shit like, is this the best we have to offer? Yeah, who the fuck would want these jobs? Like the only people that would want to be a city council person or a mayor or a governor or a president are people who are extremely power hungry.

Because you have to be that power hungry to desire the kind of heat and blow back. and drama that comes along with being a politician. I do not believe that people get into politics for good. Like, I think that's an idea that people have and that people like to sell this as, well, usually people have the best of intentions when they get into the political world. Then they are just corrupted by the system and by the machine. Bullshit. I do not believe there are good people out there that desire to get into politics, local or national or whatever.

I don't believe that these are good people. I believe that these are people. You have to have some sort of issue mentally to be desirous of going into a line of work that doesn't pay you a ton of money, allegedly, and put you under fire with everybody. You have to be a power-hungry mongrel. So then what happens is we're not actually getting the best of the best people that get into politics. We're getting the worst of the worst. We're getting this poor woman who seems to be a total dipshit. She might be the smartest person on the planet.

She might have gone to Harvard for all I know. But once you start feeding me the snow is fake argument and you're in a position of power, I think you lose me, ma'am. But the sad part, I'm going to tell you what's sad. And I probably take some hints from this. But right now, I don't care because I'm in my feeling. The level of awareness, the level of intelligence, the level of or lack thereof, And the span is really rooted in people not being informed.

It is pretty impressive. Like, I go back to this. This woman's whole view is that for some reason, someone has pumped in fake snow into Memphis. Doesn't tell you why. It doesn't give you a backstory. It doesn't let you know that, hey, the national government hates Memphis

or this group hates black people or whatever. and they want to destroy our city. There's no reasoning for it. It's just the snow is fake. And the woman who's telling you that the snow is fake is the same woman who is now questioning the intelligence of people and saying that people are basically morons. I'm going to tell you what's sad.

And I probably take some hints from this, but right now I don't care because I'm in my feeling. And really, if you're in your feelings, you can say whatever dumb shit you want without recourse, right? Like, hey, listen, I'm in my feeling. I'm going to let you know that the earth is flat and that Memphis got snow that ain't real. But again, we get no feedback from this woman, no follow-up. I'd like to know why this woman thinks.

Like, I would gladly listen to the absurdity of people because crazy people are funny. But what I'd like to know from this woman is why she thinks this is the case. It's easy to sit there and throw out some sort of accusation is like, you know, the snow is fake or whatever. Well, tell me why you think someone above you has taken the time to. to dump fake snow, man-made, created snow on Memphis. At least tell me that. Humor me. But instead, she's like, you know what's crazy is that people are ignorant.

Like, no shit. People are. People not being aware. Walker says, taking a look at the snow outside in Memphis tells you everything that you need to know. I didn't understand why it wasn't dripping water. And I stand by that. It wasn't dripping water. And it does feel different.

Well, it did. When I walked on it a few days ago, it did feel different. And it sounded different. ABC 24's chief meteorologist, Trevor Burchett, responded to these claims as someone who is an expert when it comes to weather in the mid-south. This poor bastard, he's like, listen, I'm just here to do weather. I don't want to have to explain to some moron city council person that this is not man-made snow and that this fake snow wasn't just dumped on Memphis. Well, I can tell you without a doubt the snow is not fake. You cannot fake snow like this unless you're up in the mountains and they have those snow blower things.

This snow does feel a little different than what we normally see in Memphis, but it's because we have sleep mixed into it. And that's something we've been talking about four days before the storm is that this wasn't going to be the pure powdery snow that we're used to that kind of blows around. This was going to have ice mixed in and those sleep pellets. And that makes it really crunchy. It also makes it really hard to melt. Sleat takes forever to melt. and that's why we're seeing it stick around for so many days. You would think, all right, so the guy who's a chief meteorologist has now explained to this lady why this is the case. They've had to waste time on the local news to explain to this woman and her cast of idiots that voted for her

that the snow in Memphis is in fact real and here's why it is real. again nowhere in this story have I heard a follow-up question of why do you feel this way why my lady did you feel this way why did you feel it was fake who do you think's responsible for it like ask these people questions all right let's see if in the story okay so here we go well actually this is from the weather person birch had also addressed broader speculations about humans being able to control the weather it's something people have looked into I mean who wouldn't want to control the weather but right now there's nothing that can produce a major storm or make a major difference like this, maybe one day, but not now. This guy gave this woman an actual thoughtful answer to a ridiculous notion that somehow the snow in Memphis was not real snow. I have looked online for a follow-up. That's the other thing that annoys me.

Some dude quotes a rap lyric and his life is over and, you know, the whole world puts out a, it's a federal case and everybody's trying to do it. destroy people for quoting rap lyrics or saying dumb shit. But this woman who's in a position of power has doubled and tripled down on the fact that she thinks the snow is fake. And there's no follow-up? There's no, all right, ma'am, why do you think the snow is fake? Who do you think is responsible for the fake snow?

And at that point, I would actually give her credit if she could offer me a suggestion. if she could throw out somebody, give me some sort of idea of who it is. Who is responsible for this? But as far as I can tell, I have seen no other stories at all. Where this woman says anything other than this snow is fake and it doesn't feel real. It feels different than snow usually feels. All right. Tell me who did it.

Tell me who has it out from Memphis that they dumped this. epic amount of snow on Memphis. Like everybody else is held to these standards, right? Everybody else is expected, like when you say something stupid, people get questioned and hammered on these things all the fucking time, right? I don't think it's an unfair request to say, hey, by the way, while you're just hanging out, by the way, while you're throwing out weird allegations like the snow is fake,

at least tell me why you're. think it's fake and who is responsible for it. But a lot of folks can just sit there and throw out whatever weird shit they believe. And we just go, yeah, works for me. I'm in. Bug it. It's absurd. I want to get this woman.

I'm tempted to just call this woman and see like, hey, I got a couple of follow-ups. But here's what happens. People say dumb shit. And we forgive certain people for saying dumb shit. Some people, we just, we hammer them until they're, dead, basically. Other people were like, oh, that was stupid, but this story's just going to go away now. I'm not saying this woman should lose her spot on city council or whatever. I mean, she's clearly stupid, but I mean, who's going to be better? Everybody that wins these seats are

morons. They're politicians. They are people who deliberately go into politics as a career. They're either morons or corrupt. No level-headed normal person does any of this shit. So I would like to know though who is responsible for the fake snow in Memphis More to come
