We know. That creeps me out every time. What the hell? As soon as I hit record, she just like goddamn bewitched. Like, bye. I dream of Jeannie. Just

It brings that stupid shit up now and i hit leave meeting and yeah i was just about to hit that too i fucked that up i'm sorry i was about to hit that shit too man you just did this and then disappeared twinkled on out of here hell Hell yeah. Welcome everybody to this.

This is the first time we've been Terrence-less in a minute. You've been doing some without him. A little bit here and there, but I'm not nearly as polished, but we're just going to. He's going to be so proud of us. Look at us all. We're prepared. We're going to take care of this.

Yeah, we're prepared with articles even. Too many. We're going to take care of the show. We're prepared with articles even. Too many. Too much shit to talk about. We never do the reading. I know. I'm of course Tom Sexton joined by Miss Tanya Turner back from

her sabbatical. Her gay sabbatical. I've been back. And Mr. Aaron Thorpe beaming in live from Atlanta, GA. How's it going? Chilling. It's raining here, which hopefully means it's going to cool everything off. Yeah, it's cooled everything off here.

We have had thunderstorms since down in the 70s. I was telling tom that uh that rain will be moving down here uh by tomorrow all day yeah totally um i've been thinking about something that's made me chuckle for two days straight and i i shared it on twitter and i just want to share it with y'all before we get started do you know tanya you may know him you know anthony butter hall no i don't think so they call him butter his dad was wayne hall perhaps best known for his long haul trucking prowess oh hall trucking yeah well well wayne in particular was known for having the biggest root in letcher county that he could just, the trucking companies like to hire him

because he could allegedly just pull it out the window and he never had to stop the piss. Oh my God. He just rolled the holes out the window. Yeah. Stories abound of Wayne having knocked 15 quarters off the table with that thing. Well, I wasn't there to witness it myself, thankfully.

A talented man. He lives on in legend. But his son, Anthony Butterhall, played football at Whitesburg High School. And we had a coach, Coach Chandler, that had been in Vietnam, I think, and had some cancer related to Agent Orange or something like that. And he got really sick, and he'd been sick for a number of years. And he got some good news, you know, finally that after, you know, the long battle that his cancer was in remission and all that stuff.

Butter apparently missed the memo about the good news and showed up to the pep rally for the big Flamin' Neon rivalry game. Plugged his guitar into the PA and dedicated a performance of Go Rest High on That Mountain to Coach Chandler.

And everybody was just like, what the hell? The words of which go, go rest high on that mountain. Son, your work on Earth is done. It's done.

After the man just got good, dude. One of the all-time classic things i've ever seen in all of life just amazing amazing thing i'm pretty sure we feel pretty bad after that shit though or better anyway i'd like to go rest high on that mountain, to be honest. You literally do that every day. You literally are. You go rest high on the highest point in Letcher County.

Yeah. Okay. I'd like to go. Man, I wish I could go rest on a mountaintop somewhere. And my work on earth is done. And you're never going to work again. I don't plan to work. I've caught a glimpse of the

good life and I ain't going back. I'm not working again. Dead ass, man. They're about to cut off the unemployment down here, man. The prospect of having to go back to work. I'm like, man, I don't want to fucking do that. Everybody's just like

vibing off these last few checks. Exactly. God help us. God help us is right. We got a lot of ground to cover today. Starting, I guess, of course,

with where do we want to jump in at? We want to go national, hyper-local. Basically, what we have is a hopper local story a local story a national story and i guess now we want to talk about this uh senate race against uh rand paul which is becoming a national story yeah let's just get that out of the way because i'm already okay you're fired up i'm beside myself i already got mad then i got mad at myself for being mad then i got mad again now i'm just three i'm in three levels three levels deeper yeah i'm bad i'm bad off i i went to go roll a joint and realized that it was go time. So I'm here fucking raw dogging. Yeah, you're raw dogging reality yet.

Yet again. Well, what we're referred to, of course, is somebody who 24 hours ago, nobody knew who this person was, which is no surprise. Well, let's back up a little bit. Ruth Gow. Let's hold on. Let's back up. Let's back up a little bit.

Let's hold on. Let's back up. Our boy, Charles Booker, has had an exploratory committee for months trying to figure out how could he run against Rand Paul in the Kentucky Senate race.

He does a classic pre-announcement. He says Monday he's got an announcement coming this is news to no one yeah obviously the day he announces yesterday so does someone else

that literally nobody has ever fucking heard of or laid eyes on because I've still got money on she's not real which is fine too let's just say that first off i want to get something out of the gate right away just let somebody call me a misogynist or any other number of ugly slurs you call me when tanya ain't around to vouch for me yeah is this person's name is ruth gale root-U-T-H-A-O, and she released a little video on Twitter today, and we'll just play it for you right now. Six percent of, did you know that there has never been a millennial woman in the Senate?

About half of Americans are under the age of 40, and yet they make up only six percent of the U.S. Congress. My name is Ruth Gao, and I am running for U.S. Senate. I am an educator and a cat mom. Cat mom! Cat mom! Supreme be qualified. Frankly, all Americans are facing an uphill climb. Unaffordable housing, low-paying jobs, and student loan debt.

The American dream of our parents' generation is out of reach for so many of us. It is time for the next generation of leadership. My campaign is about Kentuckians, livable wage requirements, new infrastructure, clean water, and health care. Join our grassroots movement and let's put the blue back in the bluegrass state. Oh, God. Blue back in the bluegrass. Fucking kill me.

Hold on a second. Hold on a second. It gets worse. Well, I don't know. I guess... Millennial cat mom. That's where we're at in national politics. Where did she even come from?

It says she's from Louisville. No, no. Okay, I was reading deep into the website. It says that she's the Democratic chair of her precinct. Do you know how big a precinct is in Louisville? Yeah. About eight houses. About a block.

I just want to go on record and say I'm fine with the upstarts, okay? And I'm not saying that nobody should come out and challenge Charles in the primary or whatever, whatever. That's well within your rights to. But there is a never-ending stream of these, like, platitude spewers that come out and they just say stuff like access to health care, infrastructure, all the buzzwords, access to this, access to that, access to clean water, whatever. But here's here's an interesting tweet that I thought was funny. Just say this from Ruth Gow.

Here goes nothing. My name is Ruth Gow. I have a Ph.D. in education. I'm married to an immigrant and I'm 30 years old. I'm running to be the first millennial woman in the Senate. Retweet and follow to help us unseat Rand Paul. So her whole shtick is like besides like the platitudes, her whole shtick is that she's just not old. Her whole thing she's running on Young cat mom trophy wife Yeah exactly Who's married to an immigrant

For an immigrant Who is a tech This man is a tech mogul The second The second thing she said In her sort of And everybody does Their sort of identity chain

But the second thing she says Is wife of an immigrant. Is that that's kind of one of those things it's like. It's cat mom. Cat mom, wife of an immigrant. Cat mom, wife of an immigrant. Losing infrastructure.

I honestly like I don't know. I mean, I might regret everything I've said today out of pure because I'm just purely running off adrenaline, but I'd almost rather have Amy to shit on. Like, this is just...

They literally made someone up out of nowhere to run against her. It seems like a parody campaign. It is. It is. It's like an AI thing. You know, like one of those generated articles that is just like word salad kind of? Yeah, yeah. It makes a little bit of sense. There's not one policy mentioned anywhere on her website.

Nothing. Yeah. You got to give her time, Tanya. Remember, you got to give her time. For Amy McGrath, that means she needed six years. And a couple billion dollars. Yeah. And a war chest. Yeah, like half a but and a couple billion dollars yeah and a war chest tell me how this woman got 10 000 twitter followers in one day damn yo she created her account yesterday yeah well here's the thing here's the thing. Here's the thing. Everybody knows. Well, this is just like the Amy McGrath playbook.

Everybody is so eager to get their finger on the pulse or get their mouth near the power teat that they'll just run because they know if they shoot for the moon and they fall short and don't win, they're still going to get rich as fuck running against these people in Kentucky that everybody hates nationally. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? So it's just like it it's, it's just,

it's a whole grift to run for higher office in Kentucky right now. And I don't mean like higher office as in like, you know, your city council or your mayor or whatever. I mean like to run for Senate or Congress or whatever. But okay. So does this read to you as well that it seems like she's got like this, this has like Chuck Schumer's paws all over it. Am I just crazy?

Am I making that up? No, I mean, it's it smells like that. I mean, she has no she has no policy proposals on her website at all. She even says she's an educator, but she doesn't teach anywhere. She has a Ph.D. in education. She's not a teacher. Like, I just. Oh, my God. This is like even more grift.

This is even harder grift than Amy than, than Amy saying that she's a fighter jet pilot every 10 minutes. See, like, I don't know, man. Like, like Tom was saying, like, I do think like people should be able to run, you know, people should be able to run grassroots campaigns, but I mean, Charles Booker, like come the fuck on, man. Like she, this just seems like just throwing a wrench you know into his i don't know maybe schumer is involved with this shit man maybe the democratic party is like you know what i'm saying

like conspiring to make sure that like you know he doesn't have a shot why why would someone start out running against rand paul for u.s senate That's how they're going to, that's how they want to start. That's how they want to start their political career. That's another interesting thing. Well, it's like, and I guess the thinking person, or not the thinking person, but somebody might retort with that to you, Tanya, and say, well, AOC did it in New York and that panned out.

But the thing is, AOC had a well-fleshed out sort of ideology and a course and a fundraising apparatus and all these things. This is just like somebody that says, hmm, well, I'll just adopt some of the vagaries of the Amy McGrath campaign and try to patchwork something together. Piecemeal. You know what I mean?

But package it in like a younger person, right? Right. Maybe I should just respect the drift. Like go get you a quick meal. Maybe I should run against Ram Paul. I want a Jeep Wrangler. Why not?

I guarantee I could get a Jeep Wrangler out of running for some dough dick fucking office. You're running against Hal Rogers by the time that next race rolls around. He won't know his name. But he might remember mine. He tried to get me fired twice. Yeah, see, the story writes itself. It's already the perfect grudge match.

We did one time when we were, when Tom and i and others were highly skilled trained uh political operatives um we did toss around running a fake candidate against hal uh the daughter of daniel boone danielle danielle boone because he fucking you remember this talk yeah he changed the man listen i'm not saying that everybody should revere like all these sort of legends in american lore but it does take a special kind of hubris to take daniel boone's name off something and put your name on it he replaced an entire Daniel Boone Parkway became Hal Rogers Parkway. And so Danielle

is coming to fucking... A grudge match. It's a grudge match. She's ready to reclaim her family name. Get it back in lots. Back on the highway. Back on the highway.

She's going to bring the toll booths back on 15th. You remember that? You drive. When I was a kid, we'd drive. I was there the last day. I drove through those toll booths the last day they were there. Can you believe that? Was that Bashir's first term they took those out?

I can't remember. It might have been earlier than that. I can't really remember. I was riding with my mom. Because my aunt lives in Leslie County. We had to go through there to get to her house. Fucking crazy. Yeah, there were like six tolls on that road.

Yeah, it was like just pure fee grabbing. So it was. So he took down the tolls and then put his name on the road. Yeah. Anyway, I'm just going to see this as a Danielle Boone situation. So he took down the tolls and then put his name on the road. Anyway, I'm just going to see this as a Danielle Boone situation. This woman isn't real. I've been tricked. I'm the first to admit it.

She sucked me in. But I think I'm just going to come out and say I support her campaign now. Go Ruth. Vote Ruth. Go cat mom. More millennial cat moms. Sure. Sure. Whatever. Vote Ruth. Go cat mom. More millennial cat moms. Sure, sure, whatever. I mean, but honestly, though, what makes her any less qualified than

any of these other ghouls like in office? Oh, no, that's what I'm saying. I don't want to attack her from the position of being politically green. I don't want to do that at all. But it it's I don't want to do that at all but it it's i don't i i i support that if okay here's here's the people i vote for i either vote for the crooks i know like the goddamn you know what i mean like

the fucking uh greg stumbo some more like just absolute crooks that i have a weird soft spot for yeah or like people with like an inspiring like a charles booker somebody like yeah exactly somebody that's come with some substance that sort of you know at least presumably like has something to say of of merit you know what i mean man people run these tepid ass campaigns i'm just like then like that like sort of those gaping holes are like are more evident to me and like like the green and being green and all that kind of stuff yeah yeah yeah well much like uh not that any of this matters much like rupaul's all-stars six which is certainly airing. This is all a game within a game.

Of political shuffleboard. We'll see how it shakes out. Honestly, yeah, you're probably right, Tom. This is just going to make the whole thing even more entertaining. The whole fucking circus of it all. Because I do have some intel,

some news for you you and this is a perfect intersection. Listen, I will say this on this show. When Tanya's got some gossip, you can usually take it to the bank. The last time these characters were in a story,

you did break a big national story right here on this little program of ours. Imagine that. Right here on this little program of ours. Imagine that. Right here on this little program. Okay. Yep. Well, I've got it on good authority,

which it's a perfect intersection of our interests here in Kentucky and Georgia. Remember one of my biggest beefs with old Chuck Schumer as if I mean these people first off I thought this was gonna be about the mystery ambulance I was like wait a second yeah yeah when you said Kentucky and Georgia I was like you know you know who's he's actually dead and he didn't let you County. We're going to bury him with our mayor. No. So I have some intel

that, you know, one of my biggest beefs was that they blackballed Charles Booker so bad that he couldn't even hire anybody. He couldn't even get anybody to work for him. Yeah, yeah. Same thing they did to Matt Jones when he was coming out yeah well I found out

that he's finally got him a new team I guess he's getting rid of his Kentucky people and he's got him a whole new team working for him guess who who me and Terrence and me from Georgia and Aaron

well Aaron he snatched up your Georgia girl, Stacey Abrams. That's who he's got working for him. That's what we got ahead of us. Stacey Abrams campaign. We think about that. As someone who experienced the campaign firsthand locally. As somebody who got the Stacey experience up close and personal what do you make of that man like she gets a lot of credit like i feel like i mean with some is well deserved you

know but it's like like she has a lot of credit for like georgia turning blue and shit but i mean i don't know man she just reminds me of like i mean every milquetoast centrist like you know like democrat you know what i mean who's like kind of like you know taking it on herself that she's the one that personally individually you know like made Georgia turn blue and really it was like a lot of grassroots organizations like on the ground doing that work already you know so I don't know man I mean she can't do any worse than like you know uh then I guess uh Amy like Amy McGrath trying to go what state was she trying to go to to help somebody else? Amy McGrath, like after she lost, I forgot. She was going to some state to help somebody else.

Maybe Ohio. She's the biggest fucking loser. Why would anyone want her to back them up? You can't do any worse than Amy McGrath. I mean, the thing about Stacey is, you know, and I've got certainly well-documented criticisms of all that. At least she's got some proven wins, you know? That is true. Yeah, you see, that's true, man.

That's where it's like, yeah. Yeah, over Amy. Yeah. Well, so if you think that we're going to get a watered-down, milked-up version of Charles, does that mean he probably ain't coming back on Trillbillies? Oh, man, I hope not, man. I hope not.

Cause he has to like, how is he gonna, how is he gonna reconcile like his brand and style of politics and his, you know, like ideology with like someone like Stacey Abrams, who like is ostensibly progressive, but she's kind of like, you know, a Democrat where you can just project like what you think this person is onto them.

You know what I'm saying? One of my graphs with Stacey was, was it is kind of the same way for a lot of like sort of the people that were like one time Bernie acolytes and they, they lost the races. And I mean, let's just be truthful about it. You know,

I'm not a big Stacey Abrams fan by any stretch of the imagination, but she got fucked out at governor's race. Oh yeah, she did i mean you got you got all these voting machines like in the basement of this warehouse and you go to the black neighborhood you're gonna put up one and like cause all this queuing and lines and shit to build up so you know what the fuck you're doing brian kim yeah cracker ass motherfucker and this motherfucker is secretary of state while running for fucking governor man like come on elections yeah man it's just the whole shit was rotten you know yeah so who knows how this is gonna this is just the beginning of this uh this is the very beginning of this campaign season and it's just gonna be hell it's gonna be fucking horrible

i want to take a minute just to say after all that happened with Bernie, we told ourselves we're not doing this to ourselves again. Yeah, you ain't pulling me back in, yo. Ain't no Charlie Brown into football right here, bro. Hand me the first half.

Not again, man. And then watch this. Watch this. Six months. We'll be talking about it. We'll be talking about this campaign in six months. What I'm interested to see is how Stacey, is this going to be some new kind of experiment? I was going to use the term southern

strategy, but that has bad connotations. Let's go for different stuff. Well, I'm sure because this was the original campaign anyway it's like booker is like oh i got louisville i got that on lock and and i know how to connect with real white people from the hood to the holiday yeah and it wasn't that stacy's too like they were uh real proud of their role outreach yeah yeah i mean yeah, yeah. I mean, I heard that.

Yeah, they did make gains in reaching out to rural communities, but it's like, I mean, it would be interesting to see a Stacey. Stacey the cracker whisperer. Making gains. She just, she just.

Oh, God. Yeah, we should just mute it all. Just forget it's even going on i just don't want to have too much hope for like you know booker and then like just have my like coach dashed man yeah i don't have hope i don't have hope in anything nothing against booker i just don't have any um ring down of all this doesn't left here. It's dust ass pussy over here. No hope in nothing. Only hope in dope over here.

Which was one reason I did care having sweet spot for Booker because he's such a weed man. Yeah. When he came on Trimbley's last, all he did was talk about weed. I think Tom fucked that up and lost that whole episode.

Man, we had a good, We had a banger with Charles and it all fucked up. I didn't lose it. You recorded another with him besides the one you guys had put out? There is a lost episode with me, Tanya, and Booker. We lost a good one. All about weed. All about legalization. It was good too because

it was during last summer when all the shit was going on and him and help me out, state house good too because it was during like last summer when all the shit was going on and him and uh help me out state house woman in louisville oh uh attica scott yeah yeah yeah we got arrested and all that stuff it was good it was good it was a good episode but you know i mean we might even lose this episode what What can we do? This might join the ranks. Yeah.

Lost episodes. 50 50. Who knows? Well, I'm not ready to lose all hope. And I do want to talk about this because transition to talking about elected officials. We have, you know, India Walton, who was the you know the black socialist woman mayor of buffalo now and uh this thing i had come across on the tl this dude named charles sprit wasted no time in uh doing a little bit of a hit piece for uh abc7 wkbw buffalo oh my god

abc 7 wkbw buffalo oh my god headline reads buffalo mayoral nominee walton says she's not running from past legal and financial issues which is like i'm gonna just put it out there if i see charles sprecht out anywhere it's it's instant body oh it's like body slam. Oh, it's like... There ain't no question about it. Spreck's getting body slammed. Did he put this out before she got elected?

No, no, this is it. She got elected I guess a few weeks ago. Yeah, like a week ago, so this was like two days ago this came out, right? They didn't waste no time trying to smear her. Why'd he call her a nominee? She's the goddamn mayor. The Democratic nominee.

The Democratic nominee, yeah. She won the primary. She won the primary. Hell, I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground. Here we go. Buffalo, New York, WKBW. The Democratic nominee for Buffalo mayor was accused of welfare fraud.

I like how they led with welfare fraud. That's why they did that. A black woman. To fucking God, it said welfare queen. I just wish to fucking Jesus. Yo, you speak the quiet part out loud, man. Yeah, just like a little girl. I mean,

the Democratic nominee for Buffalo mayor was accused of welfare fraud, failed to pay her taxes. Hey, join the club, mayor. And was caught driving with a suspended license. for Buffalo Mayor was accused of welfare fraud, failed to pay her taxes. Hey, join the club, Mayor. Yeah. And was caught driving with a suspended license. Sounds like a great mayor. Sounds like a great mayor, yo. All my qualifications.

They're fucking up if they don't vote for this woman. According to public records obtained by the 7-Hour Witness News Investigation Team. See, this is the thing that got me, yo. You're out of the sky, Buffalo. Investigative staff. They were the ones to

look into the public records and get this information. That's the shit that bugs me out about this. I bet this is something. Buffalo's a big city, right? It's a big town. But with this being some little crackerjack I mean, Buffalo's a big city, right? It's a big town. Big-sized town, yeah. They got an NFL team. But with this being some little crackerjack local noosh situation,

I bet there's some shady small-town shit going on where, like, that guy, maybe she fucked his husband or his wife. I mean, who knows? And he's trying to get back at her? Yeah, somebody's been fucked here. But India B. Walton, who shocked Buffalo's political establishment by defeating four-term mayor Byron W. Brown in last week's Democratic primary, makes no apologies for her past legal issues,

which have not been previously reported and which stretch back nearly two decades. So why the fuck are you talking about it? I like this. I like this. This motherfucker's like, oh, it ain't just a one-time thing. She's got a criminal record going back two decades. And it's all like, like, poor and working people. I ain't making no apologies.

I don't give a fuck. No. Drag his skeletons out here. Let's see them. Bitch, I will be honest with you. I got a suspended license right now. I'll get in the car and drive right now. I'm going to the goddamn store later. You know what I mean? I don't care with you. I got a suspended license right now. I get to go out and drive right now. I'm going to the goddamn store later.

You know what I mean? I don't care what you say. Makes no apologies for past legal issues, which have not, which had again, have not been previously reported in which stretched back nearly two decades. Quote,

everything that I've been through has prepared me to lead. It's prepared me for these attacks on my character. Walton said in an interview with Seven Eyewitness News. I own my identity. Walton said she's been open about her rise from teenage mother to possibly become the first woman chief executive for New York's second largest city. She said she's not running despite her background, but because of it. Quote, because of that of that she said referring to her history quote every challenge that i faced has resulted in a remarkable increase in my capacity for compassion end quote walton who's 39 achieved what political observers have called perhaps the

greatest political upset in buffalo history june 22nd by defeating Brown in the Democratic mayoral primary, 52% to 45%. Brown has promised to run a spirited write-in campaign. I'm going to be honest with you. I did the same thing when I lost my third race for dog catcher. Walton said on election night that the mayor's campaign, quote, definitely could have done more damage to me, end quote. And Brown and his supporters have since made references to what they call walton's record all right so byron brown's sort of lead the charge on this because he's got he's got embarrassed a

little bit yeah it's a grudge match yeah seven eyewitness news discovered the following information not from walton's political adversaries or from the brown campaign but through its own search of court dockets in the days following her historic primary win snitch head ass yo that's some snitch ass snitch ass shit you ready for this i already know what tanya's gonna say about this but let's hold it well hold let's hold our commentary till the end allegation of food stamp fraud in 2003 when she went by her maiden name india suttles the erie county department of social services brought a fraud case against her because of 410 dollars in public assistance in the form of food stamps that she received in august 2002

according to documents filed in the erie County clerk's office. One Thanksgiving dinner. Exactly. That ain't even a goddamn signer at the racetrack. Yeah, that's a fucking... She got four free turkeys. The government claimed that Walton received income and or wages that were not budgeted against the needs of the household, which caused overpayments of assistance to defend it. So basically what's happened... Hey, that sounds like a you problem, motherfucker. against the needs of the household which caused overpayments of assistance to defend it so

basically what's happened hey that sounds like a you problem motherfucker you gave her more money than she was supposed to get you expected to give that shit back they have welfare well welfare queen this bitch over four hundred. That was an error on the food stamp office. Yeah. I'll just go ahead and out myself right now. If that's the standard, goddamn, I didn't really... I didn't... Well, I wasn't... I'll say

I wasn't quick to report a change in my income after college when I was getting food stamps. No. In elementary school, I would literally be able to walk. That's probably middle school. Walk to the grocery store with the Monopoly money. That good back when you could touch your food stamps. Back when they gave you actual money.

Yeah, you could touch your food stamps and buy cigarettes. They literally would let you at that gas station, they would let you buy smokes with food stamps. Doing God's work, man. As a smoker, I'd eat that shit doing God's work, man. I walked in, I'd walk in and see my mom. It looked like there was a goddamn shooting dice on the kitchen table. My mom would be dishing out them big brown notes

and people would be giving her cash for them. And she'd send my ass with them food stamps sometimes to the store and I'd get so goddamn embarrassed. Jesus Christ. Government inspectors determined that Walton should pay back $295 worth of food stamps

and delivered a summons to her Buffalo farm. A summons, yo. Over $200. They 200 assassinating this woman over what what i know what happened here i know what happened here for one month as like somebody with they got food stamps she maybe did not report a change in her income till the following month yeah otherwise it would have been like a massive but you're talking 295 that's like probably a month's worth of food stamps for a single mother one month yeah you know what i mean that is like more of a clerical error than

some sort of nefarious scheme that they're like and also suck my fucking dick dude all these fucking conservatives on fox news and stuff they do these big infographics. Food welfare fraud to the tune of $10 million in the United States. And it's like, motherfucker, the Pentagon lost goddamn a trillion dollars in their couch cushions, and y'all are sweating $10 million in nationwide food stamp fraud. Also, too, like, just wage theft. You know what I'm saying?

Like, the fucking shit that corporations do. You know what I mean? In the capitalist class, but you're going after this lady for $295. Like, what are you going to do when you send, like, a cop to her house for the summons? Are you going to fucking, like, if she doesn't have the money,

you're going to go in her fridge and take her shit? You know what I'm saying? Like, what? I don't fucking understand. You're going to take your point over a fake $20. Over $20, of course. You're going to take some goddamn cornflakes, India. Yeah. Yeah. Milk and shit, too? Yeah. you know i'm saying like what i don't understand over a fake 20 over 20 dollars corn flakes india yeah milking shit too yeah taking groceries this is fucking oh my god she said about it in hindsight i would have been more proactive about reporting my income

in a more timely manner but this is not something that is uncommon walton said of course not i thought she was gonna say proactive and stealing more shit reclaiming your surplus value y'all take that shit yeah take that shit it's just crazy to me that they call this fraud because there's like the the definition of fraud excuse me under the law god damn it sorry it's very hard to prove and like remember when we used to we were having to do these fucking cases against these coal companies because they literally would cross out dates on like water testing forms and just put the new date like no new test and they would have the exact same numbers just totally and chemically impossible the exact same water testing numbers for quarters on end because they would just mark out july and put in october just wipe that shit out man god damn even then they would not call it fraud like

the courts would not call that fraud it will it fraud intentional, right? That's the thing. It has to be intentional. If that's not intentional, I think India deserved her corn flakes. I'm a man that advocates for finance crimes myself, and this includes all manner of

chicanery and tomfoolery, hucksterism, and all sorts of schemes. I support this. It is not even anything to support. I'm trying to be cute, but like, this is just a very normal thing that happens. And it's like, yeah, it sounds

like something you should have caught and inquired about, motherfucker. Suck my dick. It does not appear that Walton appeared in court or repaid the funds until judgment was entered against her in 2004. The judgment was satisfied in 2006 county record show. So this is like a non-story. This is literally something that was put to bed 15 years ago.

That's like a clerical error that they're bringing up now to discredit this person. They're basically exposing her. Yeah, this man's been cut somehow she's fucking she's come for him at soccer practice something how are you exposing her for just being a regular person though like that's that's essentially what they're doing this is every day i'm sorry i didn't mean to cut you off no no go ahead go ahead tom no i was just saying this is a really good point she makes here we call it the poor tax right walton said late fees and fines that occur because of things that you're

really unable to do because of your financial situation. And they'll stack up and they pile on. And this is like, this is like what they're targeting this woman for here is meant to assassinate her character. But it's really just the ways that this country keeps poor and working people under their thumb with all kinds of taxes and fines and penalties and everything else yeah yeah which brings us to the unpaid taxes and judgment

portion of the program oh my god walton a self-described democratic socialist says she expects to raise property taxes between one half5% to 1% if she occupies the mayor's office on the second floor of City Hall. When asked by seven... Trust me, I know. Listen, if you go to 1.5%, they'll run you out of there.

Start losing their shit. Speaking from experience. When asked by seven eyewitness News' Ed Dranch. I kick Ed Dranch right in his fucking little dick. Whether city residents can expect their taxes to go up, Walton said,

you can. By and large, when we have conversations about tax rates, people are willing to pay a little more in taxes to be able to ensure that they get municipal services that they really want and need but records show that walton and her former husband have not always paid their income taxes do you see the way they did that though she was making an argument for fucking like you know having like you know basically a welfare state you know the idea of a welfare state just you know like making sure that like uh public resources go to people for things that they need right services basically what they said is that

well because she didn't pay her and her husband didn't pay her taxes you don't deserve health care you know i'm saying you don't deserve like roads and bridges you don't deserve public schools for your children like it's such an insidious ass argument man i'm getting ready i'm getting ready to tell you all something that's going to blow your mind. Okay. In 2004, the names of Walton and her then husband appeared on a tax warrant issued by the State Department of Taxation and Finance. The warrant was issued for a violation of Tax Law 22, which pertains to personal income taxes. Are you all ready? Are you fucking ready for me to tell you what they're going after this woman for in this piece?

The warrant stated in 2004, the Waltons owned $562 in back taxes. Bro, that's not even a PS5 bet. Combined with the late penalties and interest it brings it up to a whopping 749 dollars or or or a percent of a percent of fucking tax cheating that your fucking landlord did last exactly exactly that everybody fucking does everybody pencil whips their fucking taxes it took them five years to pay off the taxes and interest another state tax

document showed and the judgment was deemed satisfied in 2009 so again we're talking about something that's over a decade old that was not a large amount of money anyway not that that matters and god damn and she literally fucking paid it which she probably shouldn't have

oh fuck no i'd charge that bitch off yeah i said you can't draw blood out of a turnip walton said she was unsure where the tax issue originated. Of course, because I got a fucking tax document from the state of Kentucky saying I owed $100,000 in taxes for my earnings in 2016. What? Motherfucker, I wish I owed you $100,000. And also, we know that states do little schemes where they just send out bullshit invoices just to see who will pay,

who will freak out and be like, oh shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they don't even know the shit. I've got one right now for $130. And I paid my fucking taxes to Kentucky and they sent me a bill for $130. I'm not paying that. I'll pay that shit.

Fuck that. Yeah, you'll see that $130 when you pry it out of my cold, dead hand. Suck it out of my ass. I honestly don't have an answer, she said. I just know that I currently don't owe any taxes, Walton said, which is a great answer. But again, this is what the working class people go through all the time,

and it's true. Yep, yep. A tax lawyer consulted by a tax lawyer consulted by 7 Eyewitness News said a state tax warrant is the same as what the federal government calls a tax lien. Unlike an arrest warrant, it pertains to civil,

not criminal matters. 7 Eyewitness News. Bro, I want to tell you something. It's on site when I see Sprint. Immediately. Go ahead and put the word out. Sprech is packing an ass whooping. Sprech the

dredge. Whatever the fuck that is. Dredge. Are you taking me to jail? Walton has been critical. Walton has been critical of what she calls over-policing and has said she intends to reallocate funds that have historically gone to the police department to other

areas like mental health services. One of her campaign issues is to create a traffic safety division. The division would enforce traffic safety laws and remove police from routine traffic enforcement according to Walton's campaign website. Walton had an interaction with police about six years ago that caused

her to question whether she would be taken to jail according to records filed in buffalo city court how dare you ask a cop if he's going to take you to jail yeah like that's beyond the pale am i being detained sir yeah on a thursday evening in june 2015 walton was driving on bailey avenue in Buffalo when a police officer pulled her over. Walton, who according to police records was driving a 2007 gray Mercedes Benz, was allegedly driving on a suspended license. I like how they threw that in there. Who was driving a luxury vehicle, a Mercedes Benz. The reason for the license suspension, court records stated,

was failure to answer a summons at least two months earlier in the town of orchard orchard park the summons in orchard park stem from an october 2014 incident where walton was stopped on abbott road for driving with suspended registration due to an insurance lapse record show walton says she can lightly recall the incident which occurred during a traumatic time in her life. That is a period of time in my life where I was in an abusive marriage, Walton said. So they're just pulling this woman's trauma out of her over a fucking

traffic jam. Literally. I was about to say, the fact that it took her five years to pay that like $700 bill and it's her ex-husband, he probably like stuck her with the bill. Oh yeah, no doubt.

Every divorce, every divorce my mom's ever been through, she got stuck with some credit card that motherfucker had run up. Every single one. It was a very difficult time for me and I'm proud that I was able to come out of it in one piece.

The Buffalo police officer charged Walton with five misdemeanors including aggravated unlicensed operation as well as six minor traffic infractions relating to the condition of the vehicle oh my god are you fucking kidding me man so what like a taillight is out of some shit yeah that kind of shit taillight whatever are you taking me to jail for being suspended walton asked the officer according to his supporting deposition walton said she was not taken to jail

and a search performed by seven eyewitness news by the State Division of Administrative Services Criminal History Record Search Program turned up no results for criminal history. The search program does not include results of non-criminal offenses, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Ticketing is a revenue generator for the city of Buffalo, Walton said. At that time, they were allowed to make pretextual stops and I actually feel like it I may have been part of a quota which is absolutely absolutely oh yeah absolutely anyway the story is the story ended she got a $30 fine and a $30 surcharge which was due in December 2015 but she did not pay the fine on time record show and another judgment entered against her she satisfied the $60 judgment February,

2016, according to the records all told it was, I think she had a hundred dollars fine and $25 surcharge that she pled down in court. So basically let me just tell you what we're dealing with here. I'm going to say it costs more to write this article than she has total and all of these things. Sprach made more money probably from

publishing this bitch. You're talking literally $1,000 maybe. Not that that even matters. I don't give a fuck if she was a tax cheat to the point of $2 million. I don't give a fuck. Because this country is ran by tax country's ran by

tax you're talking a thousand dollars worth of various like fines and whatever normal extremely normal shit i've paid more than i paid more than that to the goddamn uh of Jackson, Brathwaite County, Kentucky. And speeding tickets. Every time I go through that motherfucker, I get speeding tickets. And it's expensive to be poor, man. It's expensive to be poor, man. And basically, they're just hitting on this lady because she went through what millions of people every day

in this country go through. Especially that part about driving with a suspended license, because I've done that, because I couldn't pay my insurance, but I had to get to work. Still doing it, baby. Oh, man. I will get pulled over, I'm going to say, but don't run that for a couple weeks.

No, Tom's going to offer to suck some cop's dick. Now I'm working on getting my license straightened out there. All right. I think this is a good transition to the future, which is legal weed, no cops. And that's what we got in Pound, Virginia.

Next town over from Wattsburg. Woo-hoo! Okay, listen. next town over from wattsburg yeah okay listen these motherfuckers have been known all over if you drive through southwest virginia you're getting a ticket you're getting a speeding ticket i don't care if you're going 10 under they'll figure out a way especially if you got kentucky plates right tom oh yeah no doubt about it and they even the chief of police even went on record about, what was that, maybe two years ago?

A couple years ago. For the pandemic probably, saying like, we are. Targeting Kentucky drivers. We rely on the money from ticketing Kentucky drivers. Like he said, they target Kentucky drivers. And the mayor had to come out and just trash him in the news and say, absolutely not. We need your commerce.

Please come spend your money in our town. We will not pull you over. Like the, so him and the mayor got in this public battle, the chief of police and the mayor got in this public fucking news battle about if they were targeting Kentucky drivers or not. Well, the old joke used to be,

cause you'd have to for a lecture County where we're from went wet. You'd drive to the pound to be, because you'd have to, for Letcher County, where we're from, went wet. You'd drive to the pound and get you some cold beer, but you'd pay a tax because you'd get ticketed on the way over there. So, that case of Beast Ice for $20 or

whatever it was, turned into about $75. It wasn't a bargain at all. So, this whatever it was turned into about 75 dollars it wasn't a bargain at all so this um this this rivalry between the local uh the mayor the the and the city council of pound has been has been brewing stewing for the past few years, supposedly, until a couple months ago. It came to a head when the chief of police asked for more money and another cop. This is a town of about, what, 700 people or something? Not even. Probably like 400 or 500 people. Yeah, this is the size of this town. They've got like six cops, and they came to the

city council asking for another one. I need another cop. And also I need 17 AR-15s and 4,000 rounds of ammunition. You never know what might pop off when somebody tries to go buy a 40 at the top of the mountain. I mean, like I've been to schools in New York City that had more than 700 students. You know what I mean? Yeah. 700 students. In a building. yeah in a building in a building

and so when it comes to him when he asked he he he flew too close to the sun asking for that extra fucking money for an extra call and the city council fucking snapped it's been a couple months back they ended up in a city council meeting until after 1 a.m and ended up voting to disband the entire police hell yeah out with all of them and as of today july 1st 2021 there are no cops in pound virginia hell yeah none and the article so their local news did an investigation on what the fuck's actually been going on with the fucking police department over there. And there were some interesting findings, to say the least. And a missing dog, apparently. You got this queued up, Tom?

They've lost a cop dog. Literally, just no one knows where he is. There's a dog just wandering around. You're emancipated now. I drag you into that lifestyle. You ain't got to worry about it no more. Who knows? We don't know.

The way they worded it all was so funny. But essentially, anything they've ever confiscated, instead of having it in a locker, it's just spread all over the place. In their trucks, in their houses houses all these guns money anything they've confiscated just went right in the pockets which we know has been happening but this is apparently a quite the egregious case but the best part is my personal favorite is that these motherfuckers had confiscated weed plants took them back to the police station, and have been watering them. Growing their own. Growing their own

weed in the fucking police station. You confiscate the weed, and then you keep it and continue to grow it? That's like vertical integration or some shit, man. Incredible. Incredible.

This country's built on that kind of commerce though yeah exactly here we go legal in virginia as of today but it wasn't while they were growing these weed plants and the fuck is this is this is from the times news written by mike steel and times news tagline is local, trusted, and real, so you know it's good. Here's the headline. Unsecured weapons, unserved warrant, unpaid bills, and missing police dog. Pound police chief outlines problems. Pound.

Even before getting into budget matters on Tuesday, the Pound Council got a hard look at what its police department left in its wake after disbandment almost two months ago. Interim Police Chief Chris Wilcox, in his report to the council, described a scene in which weapons and evidence were stored improperly, invoices were left unpaid, and a police dog bought about a year ago cannot be found. Oh, my God. Weapons and evidence were stored improperly. Invoices were left unpaid. And a police dog bought about a year ago cannot be found.

Oh, my God. Yo, everything else I can, like, understand, right? Because, like, these motherfuckers are just bad at their jobs, right? Like, not securing, like, evidence, weapons, like, all that shit. But the police dog, man, like, what happened? Like, where'd he go? I don't know, man. Where's the fucking dog? You know what?

I hope the police dog is that shepherd that got in that car accident and they found him like three months later herding sheep on a farm. Like this dog quit being a cop because he was forced into that life and he's out somewhere fulfilling his biological purpose. Will Cox said, quote, multiple pieces of evidence have been found unsecured in the department office outside the evidence room since he was hired in May and a Fairfax County Police Department evidence specialist began inventorying evidence and records some of that evidence

included an indoor marijuana growing operation unsecured and undocumented outside the evidence room. Wilcox said he and now former town manager Drew Mullins, while recently going through radio equipment stored in a cabinet in the office, also found a folding stock AK-47 rifle with a box of ammunition behind the equipment. The AK-47 is believed to have been stolen during a 2015 breaking and entering in Wise, Wilcox said, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents were expected to collect the weapon on Wednesday. Wilcox said Mullins had contacted former Chief Tony Baker earlier about the AK-47 and allegedly was told that it had already been turned over to the ATF. According to more records, the department had bought several hundred dollars in canine equipment and two dogs, Buddy and Captain Jackson. Captain Jackson.

Wilcox said, causing council members to ask why they have never heard of the department having a canine unit. Why do you need a canine unit? So the city council didn't heard of the department having a canine unit. Why do you need a canine unit? They didn't even know the cops had a canine unit. Never heard. No one's ever seen television. There's two missing dogs then. Oh, man. Jesus, fuck.

I never met a buddy. Council member Clifton Cawthorn said to laugh from the audience. After a few moments of discussion, council member Glenn Cantrell said he had bought Captain Jackson after the animal was retired. Wilcox said he was trying to see if the K9 gear could be returned. Police found weapons were also found lying on the evidence room floor instead

of being secured in an available arms locker, Wilcox said, while the locker obstructed security camera views. More unsecured weapons were found in the trunk of a police Chevy Impala parked at the rear of the town hall. The truck! The Chevy Impala trunk

full of guns! So the police station is basically like a frat house, man. They don't give a fuck. What the fuck? In that case, the vehicle key was still in the ignition and the vehicle was unlocked. Anyone could

have used the key in your trunk release and had access to a loaded, unsafety shotgun with a chambered round and an AR-15 with 180 rounds of ammunition and magazines. Imagine, man, if you came on that. That's a come up right there, man. That is literally enough. That is enough

ammo to kill every single person in pound. To take out the entire town. 180 rounds, you could kill the town four times. You could have took out Wise and most of Dickinson County too. And then go over to Kentucky.

Unlogged sealed evidence bags and a knife were also found in the Impala's trunk, Wilcox said. Records, fingerprints, and an unserved warrant were also found in the Impala's backseat. The town's evidence situation may have contributed to a mistrial in Wise County this week, Wilcox said. Wilcox said he has found invoices stuffed into various places in the office, including a collections letter from police equipment supply store ANA security for almost $1,500 for an unpaid invoice. He said about $884 in unopened equipment from ANA has been found and returned to the company, with ANA forgiving another $596 owed. During Baker's term as chief, Wilcox said several personalized police badges worth about $160 each had been ordered,

about twice the typical cost of regular badges. Only one of the personalized badges had been recovered from one of the police vehicles, Wilcox said. A badge for former town attorney and part-time police officer Tim McAfee. Wait a second. I wonder if he's any kin to John McAfee, who died this week under decidedly mysterious circumstances. He's a strange son, yeah. He asked counsel to have town attorney Cameron Bell send letters to Baker and former officers asking for the return of the badges.

Wilcox said he had also contacted McAfee about the whereabouts of an evidence room visitor log, with McAfee telling him that he was not aware of such a log. So, motherfuckers could just go and just put stuff in the evidence locker without saying how it got there or who put it there. Mostly probably so they can take it back out, use it as they see fit. Wilcox said he's tried without success to get Baker to turn over access codes

for the police department. Yo, that is the most troubling one, man. Yeah, this is where it's going to get deep. Adding that Wise County Commonwealth's attorney Chuck Slimp III and Wise County Sheriff Grant Kilgore have also tried and failed to contact Baker. With Baker's lack of response to the computer code request, oh no, that's not suspicious at all. said he was asking for advice from the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police and for a state attorney general's opinion on whether Baker has violated state law regarding transfer of records to an authorized successor. Counsel had not begun discussion on approval of the town's

2122 general fund budget late on Tuesday. You're going to turn to the police to get help with the police. I don't understand it, man. Well, this is a particularly big week for police buffoonery. Because you see the news story where the cops blew up the bomb car with the fireworks. They confiscated all these illegal fireworks and then blew them all up at once. Yo, I swear to God, they got to be the stupidest fucking people in the country man cops are just like real cops are just like the cops on the

police academy movies just total like like really bumbling idiots bunch of fucking bumbling fools or or like barbarians you know what i mean It's like one for two or both. Yeah. Oh my fucking God, dude. God damn it. Well, we're, we're, uh,

we're approaching a fast approach at the top of the hour. And our last news item before we park company is Tom's favorite. Just what the hell is this mystery van doing that originated in Georgia and is now mysteriously in Wattsburg, Kentucky. It's not a mystery van. It's an ambulance. A mystery ambulance. I'm sorry. Originating in Augusta, Georgia, apparently.

In South Georgia, apparently, is where it came from. I'm going to pull it up and just read here. So, was it just parked in town somewhere? Well, I'm going to get to that in two seconds, Tanya. W-I-M-T, mystery ambulance. W-I-M-T.

In Letcher County, the sheriff is trying to figure out how a mystery ambulance arrived in Wattsburg. He says the ambulance has no tags and the VIN number came back to an ambulance in Georgia. What would be trippy as hell if this is the one that escorted Aaron to the hospital when he got his... That would be the most small world shit. You know, actually, we just take it to Kentucky. That would be the most small world shit. You know, actually, we just take it to Kentucky. That would be sus as hell, man. Just like on the surface of it, if that turned out to be true.

My Zoom just died, so you gotta finish without me. Sorry. South Star, Tanya Zoom is dead, so... You'll still get on the secondary recording here. Oh, okay. South Star Ambulance Services says they no longer own this ambulance

and didn't know why it was still in their name. Sus. The ambulance has been taken to a towing company, and the sheriff's office is asking the owner of the ambulance to bring the appropriate paperwork to their office. Anybody want to hazard a guess as to how South Star Emergency Medical Service, still registered to South Star Emergency Medical Service, got to Wattsburg, Kentucky, and yet there's like,

oh, that's been decommissioned. I don't know why it's still in our name. And also, where did the person go? Like the person driving it. I know it's like this, it's all I've heard is like this mystery vehicle, this mystery ambulance, but there was never any person connected to it? It just drove itself up here?

Kirby style? All these motherfuckers like to dust for fingerprints. Y'all thought about that? Exactly, yo. Yeah, I don't know, man. I would think that we would be the best equipped to tackle this mystery, but I have no fucking idea, man.

I have a theory. It's, it's part of a bang bros. Yeah. And like the owners are, Oh, that's been decommissioned. I don't know where that's at.

And they've got their hand caught and they don't want to admit that they, it's been brought up here as part of a. Like bang bus ER. Like somebody with a chest wound and they're just bleeding out the chest while like two people are just like eating pussy in the back the bed is loose as life while people get it on yeah i'm i'm coding. So that's just one working theory. Yeah, man. I don't know.

Apparently, South Star Ambulance Services is based in Augusta, South Georgia. So I don't know. I don't know if that makes it any weirder, but Why don't you go on down there and do a little do a little bit of investigate. A little shoe leather. A little shoe leather investigation.

See what you come up with. Oh, man. Yeah. Anyway, that's our program for the week. If you like what you've heard, or even if you don't like what you've heard, we still are in need of money to support a lot of altruistic causes.
