06:25
one every single day we have Jason Lyon
06:27
and then meet us and then me and the new
06:30
and then Jason Lyon again and Jason Lyon
06:32
is dealing with back stuff which seems
06:34
to be a recurring seems to be an issue
06:36
that we’ve had here with me as well and
06:38
I kept having guests that said yeah and
06:43
then couldn’t make it at the last minute
06:44
and then you had the same thing and then
06:48
we both fell off the map on Tuesday so
06:51
welcome to the show guys welcome to the
06:54
show yeah Tuesday I was like it was my
07:00
first day off in like two weeks and I
07:03
hope I woke up and was like I’m gonna
07:05
get all the stuff done for the show
07:07
early get prepared and I was like but
07:10
first I’m gonna sit down and have this
07:12
cup of coffee and watch one episode of
07:14
television one episode later next one I
07:20
knew it was 8 o’clock and I was still
07:24
holding the coffee cup and I was like I
07:27
wonder if we’re doing a show today
07:30
where am i what even happened it and I
07:33
was equally oblivious that day too so we
07:36
were both and we were in good
07:38
we’re in good company with each other
07:40
unknowingly we were both in a good
07:42
company of completely ignoring the other
07:44
purse on the day of the show so welcome
07:48
to the show guys welcome to a very
07:49
special pantsless episode is it as
07:53
powerful we s we tell people right we
07:57
have to tell people I guess so I mean I
08:01
guess that makes it more otherwise you
08:04
know it doesn’t mean anything to just
08:06
put it in YouTube it loses its power
08:08
really does like just to put it in a
08:10
description on YouTube doesn’t really
08:11
mean anything there enough the fact that
08:13
we’re saying it’s a pantsless episode
08:15
I hate listen I’m here with you yeah so
08:21
we’re doing this so guys just trying to
08:23
put it out of your head and especially
08:26
you listening on the various podcasting
08:29
apps that you you would listen to this
08:32
on the fact that we don’t have pants on
08:37
does not make us any less valid in our
08:41
opinions or any less deserving of love
08:44
and empathy
08:45
it’s pantsless Thursday answers Thursday
08:48
and moving forward if we ever do a
08:51
episode of the muddy waters of freedom
08:53
on a Thursday rest assured that we will
08:56
be doing it
08:57
sans pantalones I don’t know pants in
09:00
latin of pantalones in spanish yes and
09:06
rest assured that 90% of the episodes of
09:09
the writer’s block on thursdays are done
09:12
panceliss by at least one of the people
09:14
I cannot say anything for the other
09:15
person for the guests on that shows it
09:18
was at least 50% pants off 50% pants off
09:21
at a minimum Shane Sweeney was on last
09:25
week so there’s probably a hundred
09:27
percent pants I don’t know does he I
09:30
don’t think she never wears never wears
09:32
pants I don’t think he does I don’t
09:34
think he’s a pants when you have a beers
09:37
and that majestic you don’t need to wear
09:40
pants because all eyes are on the beer
09:42
and it covers your genitalia as well so
09:45
if there’s a there’s a there’s a you
09:48
know there’s a dual dynamic they’re one
09:50
they’re looking at your beer
09:51
– it’s all they can see anyway so true
09:55
so that’s good so that’s yeah so
10:00
speaking of awkward exchanges pants well
10:05
yeah I guess pantsless exchanges during
10:07
a what should have been another wise
10:10
nice get-together Donald Trump recently
10:14
met with congressional Democrats and
10:17
said that he s stormed out of a meeting
10:20
said that he was not going to negotiate
10:21
any more with him on infrastructure
10:24
until they drop their investigations of
10:27
him and then apparently Matt I guess he
10:30
then you know more about this I mean he
10:31
then went out for a thought unquote
10:34
impromptu so he doesn’t mean where was
10:38
this kid yeah so the meeting was a
10:40
scheduled meeting with Nancy Pelosi and
10:44
other Democratic leaders of the house
10:45
and while they were in the meeting Trump
10:50
apparently got fed up with the
10:51
negotiations and he stands up here we
10:55
are not we’re not having any more
10:57
negotiations until all crimes against me
11:00
have been dropped and he did I can’t
11:02
negotiate with you anymore he walks out
11:04
and he immediately goes to a press
11:07
conference in order to talk about the
11:09
negotiation right and that and as though
11:13
all of this was completely impromptu and
11:15
none of it was staged even a little bit
11:18
he already had placards with the
11:21
statistics just laying around just
11:23
laying around this lying around you know
11:25
just in case he would ever need them for
11:27
any reason for know when you might on
11:28
the Mueller report and all the
11:31
investigations that have been going on
11:33
for him
11:33
Oh real quick hey thanks as I always do
11:38
it I’m like crap crap anyway go ahead
11:42
thanks for the comment and allow me to
11:45
thank first and foremost Kroger this
11:48
delicious purified drinking water that I
11:50
drink on this in most episodes of things
11:52
that I’m on bula vinaka a little bit not
11:55
good
11:56
we’re 48 hours we are now 40 48 and a
11:59
half hours late to do that that’s right
12:02
so okay so okay so yeah so he
12:05
his he had his press conference he’s
12:07
he’s and what was on these plaques like
12:11
stats about the investigation about the
12:14
investigation how much the investigation
12:16
cost how much the investigation or how
12:18
long the investigation took right stuff
12:21
like that stuff we already know as it
12:26
said no collusion no obstruction things
12:28
like you know whatever and this was like
12:30
a rally when people are just holding up
12:32
these signs well it’s just like he had
12:35
them in front of his podium and you know
12:37
the Democrats wanna the Democrats wanna
12:40
I was just watching
12:43
Crowder’s livestream where he was what’s
12:46
his name Bernie and I keep kind of going
12:48
into a Bernie voice more than he was
12:53
like yeah we uh
12:53
he’s like the Democrats want to
12:55
negotiate but I don’t feel comfortable
12:57
negotiating them while they’re going on
13:01
when these investigations right I’m just
13:04
not going to negotiate anymore and I the
13:07
political move of a six-year-old of I’m
13:10
just going to take my yeah and I and I’m
13:13
I there must be because Andrew Jackson
13:16
was in many ways equally petty and and
13:20
and full of himself at times too I
13:22
wonder if there’s a precedent where like
13:25
a sitting president has said hey guys if
13:28
you know this you can you can comment in
13:29
the comments and let us know if there’s
13:31
a precedent as to like a president
13:33
saying drop the negotiation drop the
13:37
investigation of me or you know we’re
13:38
not gonna get anything done
13:40
maybe Nixon did that I I can’t see him
13:43
having the well no actually I couldn’t
13:44
see Nixon having the hot spot to do that
13:46
but I I’m curious if that’s if that’s
13:48
happen oh that wasn’t Andrew Jackson
13:51
that was injured Johnson no no I don’t
13:55
mean investigation wise I just mean in
13:57
terms of like telling people like no I’m
13:59
not gonna do that like when the Supreme
14:01
Court would rule that he couldn’t do
14:03
things and he’d do them anyway and tell
14:05
them and like say now come and get me or
14:07
whatever and there was nothing they
14:08
could do because he’s the president
14:10
right so um yeah I know it’s that’s uh
14:13
that’s an interesting thing so in
14:16
between Boomer tweeting at Iran
14:18
that you know he’s gonna take them out
14:20
if they ever threaten us again um
14:22
he’s also I guess making similar threats
14:25
to congressional Democrats regarding
14:27
infrastructure now as someone market as
14:31
an anarchist um I have the counter on me
14:36
on on my house II that’s your that’s I
14:38
can’t
14:39
I’m not hold responsible for what what
14:41
you do when you’re in but as an
14:42
anarchist second time I’m fine with the
14:46
government not building roads twenty two
14:49
minutes that sounds about right
14:51
for of that being music um so for that
14:56
doesn’t even we can’t say anything but
14:59
uh yeah I have no problem with um total
15:04
gridlock actually not just on roads I
15:06
have no problem with Trump saying I’m
15:09
not going to do anything with you until
15:15
you drop these investigations and I’m
15:16
equally have no problem with Democrats
15:18
saying we’re not going to drop this in
15:21
these investigations and if this led to
15:23
yet another government shutdown that
15:25
never ended I’d be fine with that as
15:27
well that’s actually this is the the
15:29
direction I want and that’s what so the
15:33
the article that I read the title said
15:37
no negotiating on new legislation until
15:39
all charges are dropped or all
15:42
investigations are right all right and I
15:44
was very excited about this super
15:48
excited about this I was like this is
15:50
like a shutdown without a show that a
15:52
shutdown without anyone going like oh
15:53
the children starving in the death
15:56
people who fondled my genitals are now
16:00
not getting paid at the airport that was
16:03
great League I was very excited about
16:08
this because most people probably
16:09
wouldn’t care maybe just feel like well
16:12
now everybody’s getting there the
16:13
government people are getting their
16:14
paychecks that we as taxpayers are
16:17
giving them and even if we don’t like
16:19
what they do right and don’t want to pay
16:22
yeah yeah National Endowment for the
16:24
Arts definitely needs my 32 cents right
16:27
exactly but so I was like this is this
16:31
is perfect and then I
16:32
I read the article it said no more no
16:36
more negotiations on monetary structure
16:38
yeah yeah well that’s just not the same
16:42
that’s not the same that’s a bit of
16:44
clickbait you gave me it’s a horse of a
16:46
different color listen it I mean again
16:49
mow roads we got to have more roads and
16:52
I think that I just want to see how long
16:56
this kind of stuff goes on because it’s
16:57
not gonna just be infrastructure that’s
16:59
just what they’re talking about now
17:01
right like I mean it’s not like he’s
17:03
gonna say all right well I’ll negotiate
17:05
with you on health care right but not on
17:11
infrastructure that’s where I draw the
17:13
line yeah the only thing that right now
17:17
it appears that he is willing to
17:19
negotiate on is Iran and that just
17:25
appears to be it so following following
17:28
this press conference speaker Speaker of
17:31
the House the the old drunk Nancy Pelosi
17:36
yeah what it’s you’ll have to explain
17:38
that because I’ve keep hearing
17:40
references to her being drunk and I
17:41
don’t trump’s been calling her drunk on
17:45
Twitter just out of just calling her
17:47
drunk I think it’s because of her
17:50
slurring and everything when she’s like
17:52
doing her press conferences and she
17:54
starts slurring and forgetting words
17:55
personally I think she’s having many
17:57
strokes but he’s been calling her an old
18:01
drunk and it’s very catchy if she’s also
18:03
like 900 years old like this is actually
18:07
a question I don’t know the answer to I
18:09
think I have to look she’s not whatever
18:12
her ages it isn’t Beijing well right but
18:17
who is older is it her Biden Bernie or
18:19
Trump so Google already know I literally
18:22
it has all the people you just mentioned
18:27
she’s 79 okay Bernie 77 Biden is 76 oh
18:34
that’s not Trump hold on Trump
18:36
he’s like 72 or something 72 I think
18:39
yeah he’s 72 so he’s the kid there he’s
18:42
a kid
18:45
whippersnapper snap
18:46
of DC with congressional leadership um
18:50
yes so she’s I mean god bless you no
18:54
listen if I if I’m 79 I’m still out
18:56
there slurring around saying stuffed and
18:58
you know that’s probably just as well as
19:00
probably as well as I could hope for
19:01
um but yeah so I so she’s drunk and and
19:06
she had she had a closed-door meeting
19:08
with some House Democrats about
19:10
impeachment and in it she said now is
19:14
not the time for impeachment but it
19:16
could be coming because Trump is just
19:17
being all trumpian and not you know
19:20
telling people not to show up for their
19:23
subpoenas and the investigations and
19:25
people just aren’t aren’t being there
19:27
and no this is Trump obstructing justice
19:29
right and okay whatever and she said
19:34
that a villainous Trump referred to him
19:38
as villainous Trump is hoping for
19:43
impeachment
19:45
because what every president wants the
19:48
hope that old yarn you know the the two
19:52
who have been impeached probably claim
19:54
that to be the highlight of their
19:56
presidencies just so but Trump wants
20:00
impeachment so the Senate can vindicate
20:01
him I mean that’s a I mean that would be
20:09
for DHS if you know when we talk about
20:11
for DHS that would be so also the
20:15
ramblings of a drunk woman uh I was
20:17
gonna say also the ramblings of a drunk
20:18
woman but here’s the thing I mean
20:20
there’s a little shred of truth to that
20:22
because he’s not going to get removed
20:25
the house could absolutely vote to
20:27
impeach him but short of him doing
20:29
something else really horrific um or
20:33
horrific in their eyes I think what the
20:35
government does every day is horrific
20:36
but short of him doing something else
20:38
that would get most Republicans or at
20:41
least half of Republicans to sign on
20:44
it’s Republicans and cent in the Senate
20:47
to sign on to having him removed she’s
20:51
not gonna get removed
20:52
he might get impeached he might the
20:53
impeachment trial might start that’s
20:55
happened before but in order for him to
20:57
be the first president removed from an
20:59
impeachment trial
21:00
you would have to get you have to get 67
21:03
votes in the Senate and that has to
21:07
include and right now the Republicans
21:08
control the Senate
21:10
they have 153 654 they they have the
21:15
majority so you’ve got a quite an uphill
21:18
climb so it listens it works very good
21:21
for Clinton yeah it worked for Clinton
21:25
Democrats came out and destroyed and
21:27
yeah yeah so I mean it really kind of
21:31
would be I don’t know with previous
21:36
impeachments if they happen during
21:37
election years or how that works but um
21:41
so I mean I I could see that working
21:43
really well for him with Andrew Johnson
21:46
it happens I believe in an election year
21:53
okay and this the Senate didn’t convict
21:56
right did he did he get reelected no
22:00
right well so that I mean what he did
22:06
I’ll admit what Andrew Johnson did to
22:09
get impeached was worthy of impeachment
22:14
he like fired everybody well this is
22:18
well the Congress was on break I kind of
22:23
like that though but I’m also not so but
22:27
you’re a Nana right yeah so I’m not
22:29
really the target demo for for good
22:32
decisions in government yeah I don’t I
22:36
don’t I don’t think he actually wants to
22:39
be impeached drunk lady I don’t think so
22:41
but I I do think if they did actually
22:44
move to impeach him against the backdrop
22:46
of the economy doing pretty well and and
22:55
Americans now being in this fear cycle
22:57
because Iran
22:59
by the way guys Iran this isn’t in the
23:01
show notes but Iran has made some
23:02
incredibly aggressive move recently they
23:05
have their country right next to our
23:07
aircraft carriers and I mean
23:13
people say Islam is peaceful and yet all
23:17
these Muslims keep putting their
23:18
countries next to our sometimes they put
23:22
their countries right on our bases and
23:24
and and and and right next to our
23:27
aircraft carriers and so you know
23:30
peaceful religion huh this is why we get
23:35
the recommendations that we do
23:39
did you see the most recent
23:41

26:32
today Juliana Juliana Sante my favorite
26:36
my favorite sabado Domingo star actually
26:43
probably very toasty because he’s
26:45
probably feeling some heat oh that’s a
26:48
good point so he has been indicted with
26:51
16 17 counts of espionage for releasing
26:56
information that was given to him as a
27:01
reporter that is now considered
27:05
espionage yes because the information
27:08
was incredibly damning and embarrassing
27:11
to the government that is now espionage
27:16
now this is especially interesting
27:20
because right now he’s fighting
27:21
extradition he’s still in London he’s
27:23
fighting yesterday oh he’s not here yet
27:24
well he’s gotta go over to Sweden or

whatever oh that’s right for the rape
27:30
thing yeah so he’s got to go there first
27:34
and then after that trial so right now
27:36
he’s fighting extradition he’s still
27:37
over in London so he’s got the initial
27:41
charges against him that the US file and
27:45
then now he and it’s alleged that he and
27:52
Chelsea Manning conspired together to
27:55
release all of this damning information
27:58
on the US government having to do with
28:01
what many of us would refer to as war
28:05
crimes and the u.s. didn’t like that so
28:10
they were saying that’s it you know
28:12
we’re gonna charge him with everything
28:13
so they’re getting him on on espionage
28:16
laws and I don’t believe he is an
28:19
American citizen no no he’s not yeah I
28:24
don’t like he’s not an American citizen
28:26
oh he’s Australian
28:28
is he he’s Australian yes question mark
28:34
I thought he was Austrian I don’t know
28:40
why I thought that Australian okay close
28:44
you were only one two letters off yeah
28:50
so he’s Australian and he apparently is
28:56
a terrible houseguest if he stays at
28:58
your Embassy non-stop for seven years
29:01
but he has been indicted on 17 counts of
29:07
espionage and it is ramping up to be the
29:13
pivotal pivotal pivotal I wish I did
29:17
better notes this week so I’m not trying
29:19
to pull all this just right out of my
29:20
head it is – oh yeah no it is pivotal
29:23
pivotal pivotal free speech fight of
29:29
this generation yeah the biggest free
29:33
speech fight since fuck the police of
29:38
our generation yes right yes I mean so
29:43
again let’s talk about what he actually
29:45
did someone gave him information he as a
29:53
essentially a reporter
29:55
release that information not to an enemy
29:59
government and kept it secret and you
30:01
know what he released it to everyone on
30:04
earth for free and said hey you should
30:09
probably know this is being done by the
30:11
most powerful government on earth and it
30:14
was basically just an info dump arm you
30:19
so the the the precedent this would set
30:23
is that you can charge not just charge a
30:26
reporter for releasing information that
30:27
was leaked to them but a foreign
30:29
reporter so now the precedent here is
30:32
that now American reporters who are
30:36
reporting international news in
30:38
repressive dictatorships where
30:39
information is not allowed to be shared
30:42
they can’t share that stuff without
30:46
risking you know having to and there
30:49
would be a lot of precedent there for
30:51
you know those governments to push the
30:53
US government to arrest them and
30:55
extradite them to that country because
30:58
they’d say hey look when someone
30:59
released your info a reporter released
31:01
your info you demand an extradition and
31:04
charge them an espionage so we’re gonna
31:05
do that too and the US government would
31:08
have to face being considered
31:10
hypocritical which you know that never
31:13
happens but they’d have time it would be
31:15
hypocritical for them not to say okay
31:16
yeah I guess we have to release you know
31:18
US reporters to you and you know that’s
31:21
pretty much the end of reporting at
31:23
least in in in repressive countries with
31:25
you know countries with repressive
31:27
governments where they can’t you know if
31:30
you don’t have the if you don’t have
31:32
permission from that government to share
31:34
it then there’s no story and nothing you
31:37
know it’s just it’s a terrible terrible
31:39
precedent and it’s all entirely because
31:41
the government was embarrassed by the
31:44
the information that that was leaked and
31:46
information that we all should have
31:47
known so and so what is the difference
31:52
between okay besides the very very very
31:57
obvious differences between Chelsea
32:01
Manning and mark felt
32:06
who is deep throat for anybody who
32:09
doesn’t know besides the glaring obvious
32:13
difference between these two people
32:15
right what’s the difference that they
32:18
did both of them government workers both
32:21
of them knew about something that the
32:23
government was doing that they felt was
32:25
immoral both of them found a reporter
32:30
willing to report it and Mark felt he
32:37
found too my thighs are sticking to my
32:40
leather pants Thursday but he thought he
32:50
found two he found Woodward and
32:51
Bernstein and they reported so what
32:54
makes Woodward and Bernstein any
32:56
different than Julian Assange just like
32:57
what makes Chelsea Manning any different
32:58
but but from mark felt the biggest
33:02
difference I can see is that what deep
33:05
throat was releasing wasn’t resulting in
33:09
the deaths of many many many people like
33:12
it was a report and important thing that
33:14
was being released but no one was dying
33:15
and you know this was a people were
33:20
being killed and they were being killed
33:22
under extensively under against the you
33:25
know rules and conventions that the the
33:27
US military is has set forth for itself
33:29
so that’s the big one there um there
33:34
isn’t it I mean in terms of what they
33:36
actually did there isn’t a difference
33:37
they released information that was
33:39
leaked to them and read espionage is an
33:43
active so espionage and I don’t know how
33:46
the laws are written but I can just tell
33:48
you from like a dictionary definition
33:50
standpoint espionage is it isn’t is not
33:52
a passive is it’s not a passive Act
33:54
espionage is not someone tells me
33:56
something and I go oh man
33:58
I better tell someone I better tell the
34:00
entire world I better release that to
34:02
the entire world espionage is like i
34:04
hack government computers or I you know
34:08
you know dress up like a government
34:10
worker and you know infiltrate their
34:12
systems or whatever like you know I I’m
34:14
actually actively pushing in to try to
34:17
get information and seek information if
34:19
someone comes to me
34:20
says like you said it would have to it
34:22
would mean that Woodward and Byrd Steve
34:23
committed espionage um it just said it’s
34:26
it’s it’s just an absolutely and mean
34:28
that Mark felt should have gone to
34:32
prison for 18 years yeah
34:34
or whatever I don’t know what you’ll see
34:36
yeah and and and now she’s back in jail
34:38
um because uh she refused to UM she you
34:43
know narc she’s refusing to narc and
34:45
give her sources I mean this is
34:46
something she’s already been charged
34:48
convicted and imprisoned for and I know
34:52
a lot of our may be more conservative
34:56
leaning listeners will say things like
35:00
oh well you know it was classified and
35:03
it was you know it was it was you know
35:06
they did it illegally well it’s usually
35:08
illegal to point out that the
35:10
government’s doing something bad like
35:12
that’s not that’s not it’s not often
35:14
that that that that intersects with a
35:17
legal way to to release it it may or may
35:20
not have been classified but what they
35:23
were doing was illegal since we’re
35:25
saying illegal what they were doing was
35:27
illegal and so it was illegal to say
35:29
that what they were doing was illegal I
35:31
thought that there were we serve
35:32
whistleblower protection laws but I
35:34
don’t know how those work but apparently
35:36
they’re not much good because you disel
35:38
blow I think there are whistleblower
35:41
protection laws but they are not for
35:45
people like in the military I don’t
35:47
think you have them I think that they go
35:50
for corporations or the Department of
35:53
Agriculture or something like that that
35:54
is a far less consequence than the
35:57
military right who has nuclear weapons
36:01
as our future president Erick’s well
36:04
well is is quick to point out so because
36:09
of the chain of command in the military
36:11
going outside of the chain of command is
36:13
enough to get yourself kicked out right
36:16
since Chelsea by giving this information
36:21
to somebody not in her chain of command
36:24
right gave it you know she gave it to
36:26
Julian assumably she gave it to Julian
36:29
not somebody else who gave it but she
36:32
gave it to Julian she went outside
36:33
the chain of command which means that
36:35
she broke chain of command which is now
36:36
enough for her to get removed from
36:38
military and imprisoned so I don’t know
36:44
if whistleblower protection actually I
36:47
don’t think it’s a law that stands in
36:50
the military no clearly not or if it
36:52
does they ignore it yeah I mean no no I
36:54
get it and and and I guess my point is
36:56
that very rarely does an incredible
37:01
thing about the government doing
37:03
terrible things get released and it not
37:06
be illegal for them to have done that
37:08
I mean they’ve sort of pretend it’s you
37:10
know it’s sort of like we’re gonna do
37:11
this terrible thing and you’re all
37:12
forbidden from telling anyone of course
37:14
that’s what they do so for people to go
37:18
oh well you know they did it illegally
37:20
yeah that’s how that works
37:22
we wouldn’t know all the terrible things
37:24
about government we wouldn’t know that
37:26
the government was a you know spying on
37:29
it had a database of every single phone
37:31
call text message and email that you
37:35
know any Americans ever made we wouldn’t
37:37
know that if it hadn’t been leaked we
37:38
could suspect it but we wouldn’t
37:40
actually know that so it’s you know it’s
37:43
a huge problem that you know people that
37:45
say that their liberty you know it’s one
37:47
thing if you don’t if you don’t they’re
37:49
pointing people out there they’re like I
37:50
don’t care about liberty or property or
37:51
privacy or any of that you know I just
37:53
want the government to take care of me
37:54
and you know the common good and all
37:56
that great fine to say that you are you
37:59
know you want a small limited government
38:01
but you want to government that will you
38:04
know imprison anyone who releases the
38:07
fact that they’re murdering people
38:10
that’s not going to result in a small
38:12
limited government that’s going to
38:14
result in precisely the government that
38:15
we have and and it’s just crazy and like
38:18
they’ll say oh and then the left doesn’t
38:20
like Assange because WikiLeaks released
38:23
um the the emails that you know helped
38:27
helped although I still think she would
38:30
have lost actually I don’t know if I
38:32
think she would have lost that may have
38:34
just just helped seal the deal for Trump
38:39
getting election elected because he ich
38:41
by in states like Wisconsin and
38:44
Pennsylvania and Michigan
38:46
I don’t I want to say I don’t think that
38:50
it it would have made a difference but
38:51
in their mind in their whole Russian
38:54
collusion narrative that they’ve created
38:55
for why America said no to Hillary
38:57
Clinton or at least the enough of the
39:00
state said no to Hillary Clinton that
39:02
she didn’t win in part of that narrative
39:04
Julian Assange is one of the main
39:06
villains so there’s no love loss there
39:08
so he just doesn’t have a lot of friends
39:10
here um but it’s it’s sad because like
39:12
if we were to have a limited government
39:16
it would require that government well it
39:19
would require a lot of things that I
39:21
wouldn’t say on the air but it would
39:24
acquire a it would require a government
39:27
that routinely has stuff leaked so that
39:32
they can’t set when they try to get too
39:34
big they get checked and and you know
39:36
someone says no you’ve been doing this
39:39
and this is terrible and everyone should
39:40
know and the and the voters respond not
39:42
by going oh my gosh I can’t believe you
39:44
released that but by saying holy crap I
39:46
can’t believe that you’re doing this
39:47
what the hell is wrong with you and and
39:49
that’s what would release it so the
39:51
whole the whole thing is is absolutely
39:53
terrible
39:56
so yeah the entire situation is awful
39:59
and again I’m just I’m gonna make a call
40:03
out to you know anybody who watches this
40:05
thing babies who listen to us if you’ve
40:07
got a really good story that you’re
40:08
afraid might land you in jail we’ll
40:10
report it I didn’t check that spike
40:15
beforehand but I’m certain he’s okay
40:16
yeah I know we will definitely report it
40:18
we will report it will say it right here
40:21
on the air and we’ll promote the crap
40:24
out of it
40:25
just because word journalists ish you
40:32
know we’re part of that new media or
40:35
media adjacent yeah yeah Jason so you
40:39
know if you have something and you’re
40:41
like oh I can’t report this because you
40:43
know I may get in trouble tell us and
40:47
well fact check it yeah we’re not
40:48
releasing hot takes you know the
40:51
government as a Martian rate base or
40:53
whatever well you know you know what if
40:55
you if you if a government employee
40:58
tells us that the government
41:00
has Martian rape bases right I will
41:05
probably run with that I’m just gonna go
41:08
with it I’m gonna go with that yeah
41:10
those crazy Martian esteemed Martian
41:13
rate basis Alex Jones was right that’s
41:17
why he’s not on Facebook
41:22
anyway that’s why Alex Jones is on
41:24
infowars.com and that’s essentially it
41:28
at this play um so uh I put this note in
41:34
okay
41:35
so speak speaking of I hate him there’s
41:38
literally no there is no segue speaking
41:44
of Donald Trump has suspended steel and
41:50
aluminum tariffs from Canada and Mexico
41:54
in his ongoing negotiation with him with
41:58
with them to try to get this this new
42:01
version of NAFTA I always forget what
42:03
it’s called a past in the in the various
42:06
in in the US Congress and in the
42:08
Canadian and Mexican legislature there’s
42:11
been no movement on it at all
42:13
he has suspended the steel and aluminum
42:16
tariffs he’s also delayed automobile
42:18
tariffs from Europe and Japan for six
42:21
months and the people that are you know
42:24
kind of experts in the in you know
42:27
economics and I I would tend to agree
42:29
with them he’s feeling the heat of this
42:31
you know easy trade war that can be
42:33
easily won as he said I I I’m resisting
42:40
the urge to do the same tariffs grant
42:42
that I do on every show but suffice it
42:45
to say that I will say this this is a
42:49
new one trade protectionism is a idea
42:54
that is oddly popular among Republicans
42:58
it’s an idea that taxes should be
43:01
imposed on consumers American consumers
43:04
to combat income inequality that’s in it
43:10
oh and Bernie said oh it’s very popular
43:12
in the in the
43:14
I guess I would call it the hard left at
43:17
the old left most of the left that is
43:20
against trade protectionism right now
43:21
they’re against it because Donald Trump
43:23
is in favor of it but it actually is a
43:26
left-wing policy trade protectionism
43:29
comes from the idea that this zero-sum
43:33
idea that you know if this country is
43:35
doing if people if part trading people
43:37
in this country are doing well we must
43:39
therefore be doing poorly and if you
43:41
look at the arguments they are all
43:42
exactly the same as the income
43:44
inequality arguments they’ll say this is
43:46
hurting our manufacturers US
43:49
manufacturing is at an all-time high
43:50
this is hurting our exports US imports
43:54
exports are at an all-time high
43:57
exports of manufacturing are growing and
43:59
have been growing in the u.s. pretty
44:01
steadily I mean there’s been some dips
44:03
during times that the rest of the
44:04
economy was dipping but for the most
44:06
part it has been growing it has
44:08
continued to grow what they’re really
44:09
saying is that they’re upset that
44:11
China’s exports are growing faster well
44:14
that’s like when people say yeah we’re
44:15
all doing better but Jeff Bezos is
44:18
richer than me so he should be taxed to
44:20
offset that and and give me some of that
44:22
because it’s not fair that he’s getting
44:24
richer faster than me China is getting
44:26
richer faster because they’re providing
44:27
a better product for less money and
44:29
because there’s fewer impositions
44:33
ironically from a communist government a
44:35
communist government is taxing and
44:37
regulating their exporters less than our
44:40
government is ours there’s a lesson
44:41
there and that’s you know if you want to
44:44
be more competitive push your government
44:47
to reduce the taxes and regulations that
44:49
you can be more competitive you should
44:51
be able to sell your product for less
44:53
than it costs someone on the other side
44:56
of the planet to make it and ship it all
44:58
the way over here it should definitely
45:00
cost less for you to do it and ship it
45:03
10 miles away or sell it in your store
45:06
the reason it’s not is because of taxes
45:08
and regulations so get rid of those but
45:11
anyway so so our easy to win a trade
45:17
were apparently not so easy to win now
45:20
and the trade word that’s been going it
45:22
like when you have
45:26
some of the greatest economic minds who
45:29
have ever lived and Paul Krugman and
45:34
Paul Krugman and Keynes and Keane even
45:38
Kings Freeman that free trade is best
45:42
for the economy like you get Rothbard
45:47
you get milk you get everybody everybody
45:53
every economist ever it appears says
45:57
free trade is great for the economy yeah
46:00
and then you get Donald Trump and Bernie
46:04
Sanders who loud and proud talk about
46:10
free trade is bad it’s hurting American
46:13
workers just no it’s not yeah there
46:16
isn’t anyone in the economic sphere in
46:19
in left or right because I mean there’s
46:21
all sorts of disagreements in in the
46:23
world of economics and an economic
46:26
thought um on you know the best you know
46:28
when it comes to taxes when it comes to
46:31
whether centrally planned economies are
46:33
better than you know market dictated
46:35
economies and things like that where
46:38
there seems to be almost near it pretty
46:39
much as close to unanimity as you can
46:41
get you know across the the panoply of
46:47
economists and not just now but ever
46:50
they all agree that the less restriction
46:52
there is on trade the better the only
46:55
people that you will find that you could
46:56
even fix your lips to consider an
46:59
economist who was our against free trade
47:02
our Marxists those are the and I don’t
47:05
consider Marxist to be economists I
47:06
think that Marxist are trying to apply
47:09
their their their you know hackneyed
47:12
political philosophy into the world of
47:14
economics and it applies just as poorly
47:16
there as it does into politics but the
47:18
only people you could find that
47:19
quote-unquote economists that would say
47:21
that free speech is bad or poor or free
47:25
speech or the say that free trade is bad
47:27
are the same people that think you
47:29
shouldn’t be allowed to own anything
47:30
right so is this what we’re doing yes is
47:34
the answer that this is what we’re doing
47:36
and it’s just creates it’s it’s a a lot
47:40
of
47:40
one there but uh but yeah so I mean it’s
47:43
obvious that that that the the trade war
47:47
is very very winnable any minute now
47:49
Canada and Mexico and Europe and Japan
47:52
and China it’s pretty much the world are
47:56
gonna say okay please stop taxing your
48:01
own consumer so well I mean what what is
48:02
it that we anyway I I what why would
48:05
they care okay yeah it’s you you’re
48:10
gonna raise your if man I almost did a
48:12
really racist impression you’re gonna do
48:15
you’re gonna increase the prices on our
48:17
goods coming in okay well we’re gonna do
48:21
the same thing to you wait it doesn’t
48:25

53:14
extends anchored on FM guys speaking of
53:19
minimum listenership just in a mash a
53:23
mash uh a mash a mash I think it’s a man
53:28
a man I think it’s a matter he told his
53:31
minimum listenership that he he has
53:35
called did he call for Trump to be
53:36
impeach or did he just say that the
53:38
report proved I had all 20 tweets
53:42
because he went on a Twitter storm it
53:44
yeah and then Trump went on a counter
53:48
Twitter storm one of our listeners just
53:52
said speaking of muddied waters bling
53:54
you can own your very own shirts which
53:58
are available on Amazon if you search oh
54:00
yeah muddied watered muddied waters
54:04
clothing you can find multiple muddied
54:07
water shirts including life my I think
54:10
my favorite so far is the and we’ve
54:14
gotten some some purchases of it is the
54:16
words the the the the it work says the F
54:20
in foo
54:21
food is for communism who dfn communism
54:25
is for food oh that makes way more sense
54:29
yeah cause people would say I don’t
54:33
think that’s true the effing communism
54:34
is for food I’m the one who made that up
54:36
and I didn’t say it right so get the
54:39
shirt so that you know how it said yeah
54:41
money while there’s water is clothing
54:43
don’t complain about Amazon chiweenie
54:45
Amazon and change it from the inside
54:47
exactly Amazon is like the Republican
54:52
Party complain about it join it from the
54:54
inside that’s right so yeah some of the
54:58
stuff they’ve let me post I’ve been
55:00
really shocked I could Dave we are
55:02
changing Amazon from the inside and
55:04
speaking of joining and changing from
55:06
the inside just in a mash has tried to
55:11
change it from the inside he’s trying to
55:14
less affect than we have had with uh
55:17
before readings many many people on the
55:20
right are hating on Justin Amash yes
55:23
right now right for what I’m about to
55:25
read yeah now Justin Amash is probably
55:29
the most Liberty friendly member of
55:33
Congress yeah easily I think he’s got
55:38
something like a 92% rating from Liberty
55:43
AG advocacy groups which if anybody’s
55:47
beating him it’s Thomas massive I was
55:49
gonna say I was thinking him and Massey
55:51
are probably neck-and-neck there but the
55:53
bottom line is that if you had a
55:55
Congress of Representatives and a Senate
55:58
that were dominated by people who
56:03
thought like Justin Amash we’d actually
56:05
have a small limited government right so
56:09
if that’s what you say you want this is
56:12
who you should be supporting and not the
56:15
guy who’s not the president who’s added
56:17
three trillion dollars to the debt the
56:19
national debt and advocated for massive
56:23
growth in every sector of the government
56:25
you would say no no no orange man and
56:28
you would you would you would say orange
56:31
man maybe not orange me I’m bad but
56:32
words man no and then
56:35
and you would say Arab libertarian yes
56:38
that’s just an imagine that’s just a
56:41
mess yeah so Justin Amash went on
56:43
Twitter on the 23rd yeah today is that
56:49
today Wow okay so is breaking news this
56:53
is breaking news
56:54
yeah I can’t go up to her I’m not
56:56
wearing pants wheelers report describes
57:01
a consistent effort by the president to
57:03
use his office to obstruct our otherwise
57:05
corruptly and peed the Russian election
57:08
interference investigation because it
57:10
put his interests at risk it’s Twitter
57:14
so there’s multiple right the president
57:17
has an obligation not to violate the
57:19
public trust including using official
57:21
powers for corrupt purposes for instance
57:23
presidents have always had the authority
57:25
to nominate judges but a president
57:28
couldn’t select someone to nominate
57:30
because they promised the president
57:31
month it also revealed criminal activity
57:35
I don’t think that actually I think
57:37
that’s just a for instance yeah yeah it
57:40
also revealed criminal activities some
57:42
of which were committed by people in
57:44
Trump’s orbit and in the case of Michael
57:46
Cohen’s campaign finance violation on
57:49
Trump’s behalf the investigation began
57:52
before the president was elected in
57:54
inaugurate the Trump after Trump the
57:57
Trump after Trump assumed the powers of
58:00
the presidency Mueller’s report shows
58:02
that he used those powers to try and
58:04
obstruct and impede the investigation
58:06
which that’s gonna depend on who you
58:08
listen to Rand Paul disagrees with that
58:11
state right right right
58:13
and there was a great article in The
58:15
Washington Examiner written by my friend
58:21
whose name I’m blanking on right now
58:23
Jack somebody I can’t remember Jack I
58:30
can’t remember that well uh it who’s he
58:33
with the Washington Examiner okay but Oh
58:37
he writes a lot of stuff on WWE God what
58:42
does Jack’s last name it doesn’t but
58:45
where he’s lining out how both Justin
58:48
Amash
58:48
and his opinions and Rand Paul and his
58:52
opinions are both correct and it’s a
58:54
great article I we can link it in the
58:57
show notes Jack hunter yes oh yeah shout
59:01
out to Jack hunter hunter it’s a great
59:05
article we’ll link it in the show notes
59:06
on our website so you have to go to our
59:09
website to read it muddy waters of
59:11
freedom calm right but yeah check that
59:15
out
59:15
so Trump through his own statements such
59:19
as complaining about people who flip and
59:21
talk to investigators and who
59:24
communications between his personal
59:26
counsel and Manafort slash Cohen gave
59:29
the impression that they would be
59:31
pardoned if they did not fully cooperate
59:34
with investigators some of the
59:38
president’s actions were inherently
59:41
corrupt other actions were corrupt and
59:44
therefore impeachable because the
59:47
president took them to serve his own
59:49
interests the president has authority to
59:53
fire federal officials direct his
59:56
subordinates and grant pardons but he
59:59
cannot do so for corrupt purposes
60:01
otherwise he would be allowed to shut
60:03
down any investigation into himself or
60:06
his associates which would put him above
60:08
the law yeah so like you said there’s
60:17
some disagreement between Liberty
60:21
Republicans um between the I guess you’d
60:24
call it the libertarian light crowd um
60:26
oh man I shouldn’t say that should I
60:29
sorry between the Liberty Republicans as
60:36
to whether this is the case or not
60:38
whether what he did was impeachable or
60:40
not here’s what it comes down to do you
60:43
have the votes to impeach him so one of
60:46
my Facebook friends trey Sutphin he
60:49
wrote you could impeach the president
60:51
for jaywalking without witnesses if you
60:58
have the votes for it
60:59
if you have the votes in the political
61:01
will to do it
61:03
because of the unique nature of being
61:05
president it’s arguable whether he can
61:08
even be indicted at least while he’s a
61:11
sitting president and so it creates this
61:14
dynamic that it’s entirely left as they
61:17
pull it it’s left as a decision for an
61:20
entirely political group of people they
61:22
make their decisions based on getting
61:24
reelected there is no statutory function
61:27
here it literally just says and it says
61:30
you know for high crimes and
61:31
misdemeanors what’s a misdemeanor
61:33
misdemeanors like simple possession like
61:35
it pretty much says you’re leaving it up
61:38
to a bunch of people who have to get
61:39
reelected every two years and then in
61:41
the Senate every six years whether or
61:44
not to do it so it really relies mostly
61:47
on a combination of political
61:50
machinations public opinion a political
61:55
will of the of the the people in the the
61:58
actual body of Congress so I mean the I
62:07
so I haven’t read the entire report to
62:10
people that have whose opinions I
62:13
generally respect are Andrew Napolitano
62:15
and Justin Amash um
62:18
and they’ve said that you know this
62:21
stuff in there it’s impeachable i I
62:23
don’t that may be the case everything
62:26
technically some people being impeached
62:28
is impeachable just the the the the
62:31
getting enough votes being disliked
62:34
enough in Congress and in the general
62:37
public that Congress feels that they can
62:40
impeach you is impeachable um so III so
62:44
I don’t know but it again it’s
62:46
interesting to note that people who
62:48
ostensibly say that they are in favor of
62:50
you know getting this government down to
62:52
size here you have someone who actually
62:54
does that or tries to do that you know
62:58
he’s pissing in the wind most of the
63:00
time because he’s the only one there
63:01
doing it
63:02
or one of very few people doing it yeah
63:05
one of the handful I mean less than ten
63:08
people in in a body of what 535 people
63:12
between the House and the Senate that
63:14
are actually trying to reduce guv
63:16
and all much less or even trying to stop
63:19
its growth much less reduce it I was
63:22
gonna say it’s more so just trying to
63:24
like he’s trying to put the finger in
63:25
the dam yeah let’s let’s not have all
63:29
this wasteful spending but that’s that’s
63:31
all he’s trying to do yeah yeah and just
63:34
and he doesn’t have large hands so you
63:37
know much like Tron so like that’s a
63:40
pretty did to be fair you’d have to have
63:42
some pretty large hands to plug up that
63:45
particular dike right so I mean and
63:50
they’re angry I mean no oh he has you
63:53
know his family owns you know businesses
63:56
that do business in China have you
63:58
looked at your 401k recently and see
64:00
here’s the product so the people pushing
64:02
that they don’t even know how 401ks work
64:04
this feeds back to the whole that they
64:06
support tree that the you can’t support
64:08
trade protectionism without being an
64:10
economic illiterate in the first place
64:11
so to then go well you know he has some
64:15
investment ties to China if you have any
64:18
investment at all which you probably
64:21
don’t if you do it’s in China I got some
64:25
money in China it’s not because I said
64:27
I’m gonna restore a business in China
64:28
it’s because if you have any kind of
64:30
investments at all there’s some
64:33
adjacency to China there there’s some
64:35
intersection into China China’s the
64:37
second large account and second largest
64:39
economy on earth and the fastest-growing
64:41
one with a bullet you were gonna be
64:43
doing business in China now supposedly
64:44
his is more of a like there’s actual
64:46
family ties to China but he’s
64:47
consistently free-trade why wouldn’t he
64:49
have businesses in China it’s not like
64:51
this is some sudden thing that he you
64:54
know suddenly is in favor of you know
64:57
free trade free trade and suddenly you
64:59
know uh you know consistent about
65:02
whether something’s impeachable or not
65:04
regardless of who’s you know what party
65:06
the person that’s in power is this is
65:07
not new so if you’re if you’re if you
65:10
truly want a smaller government
65:12
you wouldn’t side with the guy who’s
65:14
constantly trying to grow government who
65:16
just had a State of the Union address a
65:18
couple months ago where he bragged about
65:20
how he was gonna out spend Russia and
65:22
out spend these people and and you know
65:24
child care for all and it you you that’s
65:28
not the path you take for limited
65:30
government
65:30
yes he owns the libs but that’s not you
65:33
don’t own the libs to freedom you you
65:36
grow government you you reduce
65:38
government to freedom and seeing the
65:42
conservative and even some libertarian
65:44
reaction to what a mash is doing tells
65:46
me everything I need to know about the
65:47
seriousness of most self-described
65:51
conservatives and and some
65:53
self-described libertarians in actually
65:56
reducing the size of government yeah and
66:00
man I had a really good point then
66:02
somebody pointed out a typo just
66:05
derailed you they pointed out no I said
66:16
I spelled that wrong actually I don’t
66:19
remember what I said maybe I said I’m
66:20
still hungry I am hungry mate did I dive
66:25
guys did I just verbalize that I’m
66:26
hungry
66:27
and anybody who feels like yeah just
66:32
like yeah drop a comment let it you know
66:34
cuz until I watch this again I won’t
66:36
know if I said that I meant to say I
66:39
spelled that wrong but I may have said
66:40
I’m hungry cuz I am everything in post
66:43
hours ago and my I didn’t see it until
66:47
maybe just before the show started and
66:49
my salivary glands just pantsless er say
66:56
um so so yeah Justin whoo yeah careful
67:01
Matt get his band on all channels say so
67:10
yeah Justin Amash he consistently stands
67:14
up for liberty he consistently stands up
67:18
for liberty yeah he Thomas Massie are by
67:22
far the two greatest people in Congress
67:24
they stand up for liberty as much as one
67:26
can eat in Congress right
67:30
and Thomas Massey is not at all nude so
67:32
even he and he stands taller than
67:34
everybody else he’s like this stuff but
67:39
he likes my shoes so you know he’s good
67:42
what’s it
67:43
that a name drop about Thomas Ness about
67:46
Thomas Massie yeah did he tell you that
67:49
while you were in a car with Rand Paul
67:51
no he told me that while I was talking
67:55
to him outside of the congressional
67:56
building in DC he was like hey man nice
68:01
shoes okay thanks congressman if you
68:08
like my shoes come on my show you should
68:11
if you think this is cool you should
68:13
check out my show you like shoes how
68:15
about shows anyway yeah no I’m sorry
68:20
derailed your point go ahead which you
68:29
know I do tell you about the time I met
68:33
the Rolling Stones never mind we’ll do
68:35
that and then when they wanted to buy
68:36
drugs from you they didn’t want to buy
68:40
drugs from me oh they well there you go
68:44
they just wanted to buy drugs i
68:46
facilitated it wasn’t specifically from
68:48
you was just he wanted drugs right and
68:50
they asked me if I could get them and I
68:52
said yes the market provides that’s
68:55
right
68:57
somewhere Keith Richards is going crap
69:01
pretty sure pretty sure this is out of
69:04
the statute of limitations at this point
69:06
as is Keith Keith is also outside of all
69:10
statutory law yeah he’s aged past
69:14
statutory law at this point right he’s
69:17
like the opposite of a minor
69:19
he’s a post major yeah he’s like a post
69:25
graduate now and laws don’t apply to
69:28
Keith Richards that’s right yeah I
69:33
totally forgot where I was going just in
69:35
a match Thomas Massey Lectures sure it’s
69:39
Thomas Massie likes my shoes Judge
69:40
Napolitano taught justin mash they both
69:44
had read the read the report and these
69:48
are two guys that I respect the ever
69:50
living hell out of typically agree with
69:53
them across the board right now
69:57
creating moments across the board right
69:58
and Justin Amash is willing to do this
70:01
when he’s coming up for re-election
70:03
where he’s got a primary when he’s got a
70:06
primary somebody’s going up against him
70:08
he is still willing to stand out there
70:10
and say these things because that’s what
70:12
he believes and he believes that we as
70:15
Americans need to point out when bad
70:18
things are happening yeah this is a this
70:20
is a good go ahead
70:22
but with impeachment I remember what I
70:24
was gonna say so I can bring an old
70:25
background with impeachment we impeached
70:29
a guy for lying under oath about getting
70:32
a blowjob in the Oval Office from an
70:37
intern yes technically yes technically
70:42
correct yeah technically one could argue
70:46
that the entire government is under oath
70:52
at all times which means we could
70:58
impeach every president ever for lying
71:01
under oath which I’m fine with
71:06
do ya know I’m totally yeah okay even in
71:09
retrospect right the fact that somebody
71:14
gets impeached it’s only happened twice
71:16
before it would have been a third time
71:18
but Nixon had the foresight to resign it
71:24
only happened twice before if it happens
71:27
again all it’s going to do is impotent
71:30
Trump’s base yeah I don’t so unless
71:37
there is some smoking gun we haven’t
71:39
seen yet or some new action that hasn’t
71:41
been released yet to continue to drag
71:44
this out I think I think it’s gonna it’s
71:48
gonna hurt both sides in terms of voter
71:50
turnout I think it hurts Democrats more
71:54
than Republicans because the very people
71:56
you need to show up for primaries and
71:59
general election in specific areas are
72:03
precisely the people who will show up
72:06
for Trump on something like that you’re
72:09
gonna get massive voter turn
72:10
now in urban areas in coastal states
72:13
that he was going to lose anyway you’re
72:17
also going to get turnout from economic
72:20
illiterate in the Midwest who think that
72:22
the reason that they’re not doing well
72:24
is because of China and not the taxes
72:27
being imposed on their industries by the
72:29
US government and that you know and he’s
72:32
right now he’s throwing he just asked
72:36
for another 16 billion dollars to bail
72:38
out farmers that are being harmed by his
72:40
his his you know taxes and tariffs um
72:42
they think he’s on their side they think
72:45
it’s the the foreigners and the
72:47
Democrats that are hurting them
72:49
specifically on this and that you know
72:51
they’re trying to take him down the
72:53
narrative is perfect for him to get
72:55
reelected so I think and I think this is
72:59
what Pelosi wants to do just keep
73:00
investigating keep it out in you know
73:02
out in the public eye and keep
73:04
mentioning stuff but I think I think an
73:06
impeachment I think Bill Clinton
73:07
demonstrated what happens with
73:09
impeachment unless you have something
73:11
like hard you know ironclad it’s not
73:15
gonna turn out well and you’re gonna get
73:17
a ton of obstruction in the Senate side
73:19
because they’re Republicans they don’t
73:22
want to do it so it’s it’s I don’t think
73:26
it’s gonna work out well for them now
73:30
this is the time in the show real quick
73:34
before you which one are you goin with
73:36
are you going with the one the one
73:39
that’s not a real news story or the one
73:40
that is real new story they’re both real
73:42
news stories Matt I’m gonna I was gonna
73:45
do it I was gonna do the the what you
73:49
would call a real news story okay I’m
73:52
gonna end with the real news story it’s
73:55
not it is a real news story I didn’t
73:58
okay so I did not go and bitch about the
74:01
ending of lost or the ending of Dexter
74:04
or the ending of Seinfeld or the ending
74:08
I mean crayon I didn’t have a podcast at
74:10
the time or the ending of any other show
74:13
that has been disappointing that I spent
74:17
years of my lost I didn’t spend years of
74:20
my life I’ve been watch the crap out of
74:21
it and then watch the final season but
74:24
if I had had a podcast when Seinfeld
74:28
ended the damn world would have known
74:31
about that how I felt about that finale
74:36
anyway you said real quick before I go
74:39
on the real news story more states are
74:44
joining the National the National the
74:49
National popular vote as of recently
74:53
Nevada has passed through their
74:57
legislature the national popular vote
75:00
law the governor has not signed it as of
75:05
one day so my understanding is that and
75:12
obviously it’ll be challenged is that
75:16
you can’t have and I forget exactly how
75:19
its worded but you it’s not what they’re
75:21
doing actually isn’t constitutional
75:23
right so supposedly and I am NOT a I
75:27
they’re I would defer to someone who
75:29
would call themselves a constitutional
75:31
expert on this but that the Constitution
75:35
bans interstate pacts national
75:39
interstate pacts that don’t go through
75:41
the constitutional amendment process
75:43
right so you can all sign up and agree
75:47
to do this thing but without a national
75:50
popular vote constitutional amendment
75:53
you can’t do it anyway you have to
75:56
continue using the the electoral college
75:58
system it has to be amended within the
76:00
Constitution now if you reached a point
76:02
where you got you know 40 of the states
76:05
or 35 of the states that have done this
76:07
and the the public opinion was strong
76:09
enough then you could probably end up
76:10
also with the constitutional amendment
76:12
if you could get you know two-thirds
76:13
vote in Congress to do it but uh it is
76:17
it is very odd to watch people in small
76:22
states because some of these states are
76:23
small I mean yes California did it but
76:25
like Maine did it right
76:29
you’ve got five small states including
76:31
Rhode Island Vermont Hawaii DC Delaware
76:34
for mine not yep not me
76:36
for what well six medium states
76:39
including Maryland
76:40
ma ma is Maine Massachusetts
76:44
Massachusetts New Mexico Washington
76:48
Connecticut Colorado and four big states
76:51
Jersey Illinois New York California so
76:54
you have states that will lose influence
76:58
by virtue of the fact Vermont is not
77:03
going to matter at all like they’re
77:06
going on like they’re gonna have me of
77:08
zero consequence at all and it’s just so
77:11
weird to me to watch people that and I
77:14
mean I don’t favor any political system
77:15
but if I’m told okay how would you like
77:19
some in South Carolina I mean we
77:21
definitely would you know lose any kind
77:23
of say yeah how would you like your vote
77:25
to mean even less than it is now but it
77:29
means that possibly the guy you like
77:33
will get a you know the the side you
77:35
like will get elected because that’s
77:36
what’s pushing this this is because
77:39
Democrats win popular votes and lose
77:42
electoral college elections which is a
77:44
recent thing and it could change and
77:46
that would be hilarious if now
77:48
Republicans started winning and and to
77:52
be fair if it were routinely Republicans
77:54
that were winning popular votes and
77:57
losing electoral college elections there
77:59
would probably be momentum on the
78:00
Republican side too you know abolish the
78:03
Electoral College um but um you know
78:06
it’s entirely a political move so so
78:08
it’s why it’s not 15 states if the
78:10
governor signs it yes 15 states have it
78:18
I believe
78:20
Nevada could become the 15th state so
78:24
okay well it says according to the
78:27
National popular vote website 15 states
78:30
already have it sure they would be the
78:31
sixteenth yeah but according to CBS News
78:35
and the New York Times and The
78:36
Washington Post Nevada could become the
78:38
15th state oh because of DC oh so fit so
78:41
there would be 15 states plus DC if
78:43
they’d signed up so yeah so we’ll see
78:46
how that goes so here is a story so it’s
78:48
a local story but it
78:50
it’s a perfect example of how government
78:53
screws things up to benefit a specific
78:57
industry so in Raleigh North Carolina
79:00
they recently banned short-term rentals
79:04
of whole houses on using sites like
79:08
Airbnb and they didn’t even try to mask
79:12
why they were doing it they straight-up
79:14
said it was hurting the hotel industry
79:17
because that apparently hotels making
79:21
money is apparently more important than
79:23
private home owners making money and so
79:28
you so the the ban is I believe
79:31
effective immediately
79:32
um Airbnb was becoming incredibly
79:35
popular in Raleigh as it is everywhere
79:37
else and sites like Airbnb where people
79:39
are renting out their own homes and
79:40
people are getting much better deals and
79:44
not only are they getting better deals
79:45
from Airbnb but my wife and I travel a
79:48
lot and are in hotels a lot hotel prices
79:51
have gone down and they’ve gone down
79:54
because I would say because of Airbnb
79:56
you have increased competition you now
79:58
have sites like kayak and and other
80:01
third party sites that include Airbnb
80:04
submissions in there in there when you
80:08
look for you know lodging in a specific
80:09
area they include Airbnb and other
80:12
website listings on there and there are
80:14
often better deals than at the hotels
80:15
and the hotels have had to lower their
80:17
prices to match it this is entirely a
80:20
you know there’s a term for people that
80:23
are against government and big
80:24
government that’s called rent seeking
80:26
and it refers to when lobby groups for
80:31
industries Lobby the government to pass
80:36
laws that basically make more money for
80:39
that industry and they call it rent
80:40
seeking because they’re seeking to get
80:42
more money and this is literal rent
80:45
seeking they are seeking more people to
80:47
rent their rooms by eliminating
80:51
competition by telling private home
80:52
owners you know you own you own your
80:55
house we tax you every year and if you
80:58
don’t pay it will eventually steal your
80:59
house from you but you own your house
81:01
and you know we have zoning laws that
81:03
tell you you can
81:04
do this in your house you can’t have a
81:05
second kitchen in your house you can’t
81:06
do this you can’t do that in your house
81:07
but you own your house now we’re going
81:09
to tell you that you cannot voluntarily
81:11
agree with another consenting party to
81:14
have them come to your house for a
81:15
specific period of time and then give
81:17
you money in exchange for that because
81:18
it’s hurting the hotel industry so
81:25
absolutely that was something that they
81:28
were dealing with here where I live in
81:31
my suburb of st. Petersburg which is a
81:35
suburb of Tampa ok where I live they
81:40
were trying to get rid of Airbnb because
81:42
a lot of people were buying houses
81:45
running about as Airbnb zand they were
81:47
trying to get rid of that they didn’t
81:48
want it so now if you want an Airbnb
81:50
where I live you have to apply for a
81:53
business license you in a zone that is
81:57
zoned for business and residential and
82:02
those are the rules that they have made
82:04
and I think it’s stupid and I’ve thought
82:06
about air bein being out my room it’s
82:09
just it’s for what good reason there’s
82:12
no reason for it they don’t even try to
82:14
give a reason they’re like well it’s
82:16
hurting the hotel’s good good like what
82:21
do I care about the hotel industry
82:23
it increases tourism it brings it
82:28
increases revenues yeah it helps out
82:32
people it makes owning your home
82:36
affordable for a lot of people that are
82:38
you know up to here with their mortgage
82:41
or or you know they’re there or they
82:43
just why even if they’re swimming in
82:45
money they get more money out of their
82:47
home you tax their home
82:49
you already tax it like it’s a you know
82:51
as though it’s some business that they
82:53
have it’s their home it shouldn’t be
82:55
taxed you shouldn’t be taxing people to
82:56
live on their own property if you want
82:59
to tax them for school tax them when
83:01
they send their damn kids to school
83:02
don’t tax me because someone else sent
83:04
their damn gets to school tax the damn
83:06
kids tax the kids 2019 don’t tax anyone
83:11
but if you’re gonna attack someone tax
83:12
the damn kids tax the damn kid so 2090
83:15
there’s a there’s another story that i
83:17
sent you last week that we
83:18
totally forgot to put in the notes that
83:19
this story reminded me of Jim thickened
83:23
another local guy here in my in pinellas
83:28
is this another Sierra Peterson thing no
83:31
this is a real story okay all right okay
83:32
I sent you the story and I said hey can
83:35
we talk about this and you said yes and
83:37
I because I don’t remember any of this
83:40
so I’m gonna let you out about it until
83:42
just now okay I actually scroll back to
83:44
read it the article okay Jim and who
83:47
lives in Dunedin when you read that it
83:50
looks like it’s doomed in but it’s
83:51
Dunedin Dunedin Florida which is
83:55
literally maybe 20 minutes north of me
83:57
okay he admits that he let his grass
84:00
grow a little too little oh yeah and he
84:06
has now been fined by his City Council
84:09
thirty thousand dollars in code
84:13
violations that he accrued in 2018 the
84:17
city find him five hundred dollars per
84:18
day over the summer per day per day and
84:22
now the city has moved to foreclose in
84:27
him and wasn’t the reason that he wasn’t
84:29
responding because he was in another
84:30
state dealing with his dying mother or
84:32
something like that yes he was out of
84:37
state I would need to get back down to
84:39
that quote anything that happened there
84:42
he was in South Carolina ah nope sorry
84:47
that’s a different issue
84:48
how thick and was in South Carroll yeah
84:50
okay in 2015 well fit Goins in South
84:52
Carolina Dunedin sign him for having
84:54
grass that was too tall while he was
84:58
aiding his dying mother she died in the
85:03
summer 2016 thickened left uneaten for
85:06
two weeks in July of 2018 to manage her
85:09
estate and during that time the man who
85:13
mowed his lawn died so he didn’t know
85:17
any of this was going on he had no idea
85:20
any of this was going so he wasn’t even
85:21
just so I thought it was like screw my
85:25
lawn I’m dealing with my dying mom he
85:26
still thought that was being dealt with
85:28
yes not that that makes any of this I
85:30
mean when
85:31
mater he could just say I don’t want my
85:32
lawn to grow period I want my lawn to
85:34
grow up here anyway go ahead yeah so he
85:37
when he got back he tried to mow his
85:39
lawn his mower broke because the lawn
85:41
was too high right right right yeah and
85:44
it says that doesn’t even Dunedin which
85:47
is the name of the city not a person’s
85:48
gave vacant no notice it was charging
85:50
him 500 dollars every day for the length
85:52
of his grass and the fines be ft because
85:57
his ficken was a repeat offender you
86:00
know because he kept leaving he kept
86:02
having his grass exist on his lawn right
86:06
it was nearly two months before faking
86:08
knew oh that healed the city tens of
86:10
thousands of dollars he filed a lawsuit
86:14
and now they are moving to foreclose on
86:17
his house so this is this and the rally
86:20
story and and other local we often will
86:22
talk about local government infringement
86:25
on your right because it’s very sexy and
86:27
and and and you know popular to talk
86:30
about these like you know the federal
86:33
government is doing this and you know
86:34
the feds are doing that and the state is
86:37
doing that the and this to my to my
86:39
small limited decentralized government
86:42
friends who say well I just want
86:44
government to be more local this is
86:46
local government local government the
86:50
federal government for a myriad reasons
86:53
doesn’t even have the energy to try to
86:56
tell you what your lawn should look like
86:58
your local government absolutely will
87:02
take your home from you for the dumbest
87:05
garbage like this for your the length of
87:08
your lawn or that you tried to rent it
87:10
out to someone without getting a license
87:12
first on your own home again your own
87:15
home or you know you didn’t pay that the
87:18
the tax that you pay for the privilege
87:21
of owning your own land and and and home
87:24
um this is local government so you get
87:29
rid of the federal government or you
87:30
make it very very tiny and you take all
87:32
the power and give it to the local
87:33
government you said because I can walk
87:35
to City Hall and tell them how I feel
87:36
yeah and they’ll arrest you you’re not
87:41
gonna get the likelihood of you being
87:42
killed by a federal agent is in
87:45
readily incredibly low it is markedly
87:48
higher the odds of use is too low most
87:52
people don’t get killed by cops but if
87:54
you’re gonna get killed by someone in in
87:56
a form of government it’s gonna be local
87:58
it’s probably not even gonna be a state
88:00
cop it’s probably going to be a city or
88:03
county or region you know a town cop or
88:06
whatever and it’ll probably be over some
88:08
stupid crap it’ll probably be some over
88:11
something stupid so when we talk about
88:14
decentralized local government this is
88:17
decentralized local government it’s it
88:19
is a lope it’s a bunch of your people
88:21
that live probably within 10-15 miles of
88:23
you maybe even close maybe a few blocks
88:25
of you if you’re in a big metro area
88:27
look really you know within a you know
88:29
short drive or even a hefty jog away
88:35
from you telling you what to do with
88:39
cops who also live close to you who are
88:41
more than willing to use whatever level
88:43
of violence is required to force you to
88:45
comply with in this case losing your
88:48
home because you were in another state
88:52
you know with your dying mother
88:54
and that lawn not even you know you’re a
88:58
house caught on fire and you you know it
89:01
burned your other neighbors or there
89:02
were someone squatting in there and
89:04
committing crime your lawn yeah your
89:07
your grass your grass grew the weeds
89:10
that grow in your front yard that we all
89:13
cut to make look already pretty
89:17
grew too much too much and you’re
89:22
dealing with your mother’s estate in a
89:26
different state at the time you hire
89:27
somebody to take over and mow the lawn
89:31
for you and they die and they pass away
89:34
yeah and then you come back and like
89:37
well I need to fix this and after all of
89:40
the stress that you’re already dealing
89:42
with your mower brings and it breaks
89:45
because your lawn is way overgrown and
89:47
you need to have a professional come in
89:48
and whatever they’d steal your home
89:51
because of this what is the threat to
89:54
the public so I’m told well you know we
89:56
still need to have some government
89:57
because because other
89:59
who’s gonna protect us who’s gonna
90:01
protect us from the threats
90:02
what threat does this pose to the public
90:04
what threat does this even pose to his
90:08
next-door neighbor
90:09
it’s lon what is this dude this is
90:12
literally just people going well we
90:14
don’t like how it looks you don’t have
90:16
to like how it looks don’t steal my
90:18
house right and I say this is someone my
90:22
lawn stays manicured and I don’t even
90:25
like lon I want to pull it out and
90:27
replace it with clover so I never have
90:29
to worry about it again um that’s a
90:31
whole thing but I should be able to let
90:37
it grow six feet if I want it’s my lawn
90:39
my lawn does not stay as manicured as it
90:43
is supposed to based on my lease but it
90:48
stays managed it stays manicured its
90:50
manicured ish so so I mean so that’s
90:53
when you’re when when if you’re if
90:56
you’re not an anarchist like me where we
91:00
got now one hour 38 minutes if you’re
91:04
not an anarchist like me if you still
91:05
believe there should be some kind of
91:07
government okay great this is local
91:09
government this is small decentralized
91:11
local government this is what it brings
91:13
you it brings you stupid the that
91:17
smaller more local government will give
91:20
you the most dumb stupid little micro
91:23
regulations on stupid crap like this
91:25
that is what you were way more likely to
91:29
face problems with the state over then
91:31
you know some big federal law and again
91:35
federal intrusion is a real thing too
91:36
but let’s not pretend that if you if you
91:40
make government if you only have small
91:42
local government infringing on you that
91:44
it’s somehow less of an infringement
91:45
it’s actually a much more active
91:46
infringement because they’re right there
91:48
they’re not in DC and relying on you
91:51
know relying on on you know state police
91:55
to enforce compliance they’re right
91:57
there they are your neighbors so that’s
92:01
what I think about that right now let’s
92:04
end this show with orally with the real
92:09
start with the real story there’s some
92:11
disagreement here as to whether this is
92:12
a
92:12
idea or not but this is not a democracy
92:17
this is a republic Game of Thrones this
92:23
is a real news story Game of Thrones
92:25
which is the most popular TV show in
92:31
human history watched by over a billion
92:38
people billion people Game of Thrones
92:44
after an eight-year run this is real
92:47
news Matt eight Game of Thrones ended on
92:52
Sunday with after it was eight seasons
92:58
the first five seasons were absolutely
93:06
amazing best it’s why it was the most
93:09
popular show on TV best best best show
93:12
ever one of the best shows ever and the
93:16
cinematography was incredible the
93:18
storyline was incredibly complex
93:19
character development through the roof
93:21
this is real this is real news and the
93:24
sixth season was was good had my
93:28
favorite episode ever the Battle of the
93:30
bastards really good then the the
93:36
producers of the show David Benoit and
93:39
DB Weiss decided that they wanted to
93:43
wrap things up super super super quick
93:45
because they wanted to get to work on
93:48
their Star Wars project that they’re
93:50
doing for Disney because that shouldn’t
93:52
be ruined
93:55
Star Wars brought to you by Disney and
93:57
the people who ruined their own show so
94:01
the last two seasons have been with each
94:03
episode progressively worse while at the
94:07
same time so two things have happened
94:09
here the show writing has gotten worse
94:14
and worse and worse and worse and worse
94:15
and worse this show production values
94:17
and acting have gotten better oddly
94:21
enough because these were all relatively
94:23
unknown actors all any any actor
94:26
was like well-known prior to the Game of
94:30
Thrones
94:30
died in the first season which I love um
94:32
so these were all people that weren’t
94:34
known prior to Game of Thrones most one
94:36
were kids when they started they’re all
94:38
real quick I’m the production value that
94:41
has gotten better and better and better
94:43
and better how many times in the first
94:46
seven seasons did you see a Starbucks
94:49
cup or a water bottle right so that’s
94:51
that’s the that’s the real that’s the
94:54
problem is that the production oh he was
94:57
getting better and overall it has so
94:59
there’s this paradox where the scenes
95:02
that they’ve created are Marvel comic
95:06
universe movie level quality but then at
95:09
the same time there will be a water
95:11
bottle next to someone’s foot like you
95:13
can tell that certain parts of the
95:16
production have taken it to levels uh
95:18
never before seen in in a TV series and
95:21
other parts have just completely checked
95:23
out um and so it’s a really weird thing
95:26
the acting’s gotten better production
95:28
overall has gotten just more and more
95:31
elaborate and insane the writing itself
95:34
went from being some of the best to
95:36
being to not making any sense this is
95:40
what should have been three or four full
95:42
seasons to take to finish telling this
95:44
story and instead they wrapped it up in
95:46
thirteen episodes over two seasons that
95:48
they made us wait three and a half years
95:50
for between the two between one year
95:53
over a year for one season and then two
95:54
years so did it for the other season so
95:56
we waited three and a half years for
95:57
this they completely destroyed six and a
96:01
half years of character development I
96:03
could spend an incredibly long period of
96:06
time talking about all of the parts that
96:10
make absolutely no sense Jon Snow killed
96:14
Daenerys Targaryen who was the cow of
96:17
the Dothraki
96:18
she was the Khaleesi of the Dothraki
96:21
when a when someone kills the boiler
96:24
drop that with no warning it’s been
96:27
almost a week at this point I did it but
96:30
still if you don’t know that Jon Snow
96:32
killed Daenerys Targaryen I don’t know
96:34
what to tell you at this point I don’t
96:36
know what I’m gonna point a spoiler
96:38
warning
96:40
I have never seen game of Furman I’ve
96:44
seen a few episodes here and there
96:46
because it’s hard not to when you hang
96:49
out at the places that I hang right and
96:51
I am not like I’m not your anarchist
96:53
vegan CrossFit or non-game I don’t
97:00
CrossFit okay like I don’t have to bring
97:05
that stuff up right but I’ve never seen
97:09
Game of Thrones I also I knew how it
97:11
ended because immediately upon the
97:14
ending of the final episode I went to
97:16
one of the places that I hung out
97:17
because I got tired of having to be
97:19
really quiet for an hour and a half
97:21
while all of these idiots who won’t
97:24
watch it at their own house they are
97:27
their own HBO relying on bars to do it
97:33
for them so I don’t have to illegally
97:35
download it like the rest of like like a
97:37
normal person would right no no we can’t
97:41
be bothered with that we’re just gonna
97:42
go make everybody who wants to go out
97:44
and have a good time be quiet for an
97:46
hour and a half so that is funny well
97:49
you got is funny so I went afterwards
97:54
and I was talking to the bartender and I
97:56
was like how was the episode and she was
97:58
like well I really liked and she spoiled
98:00
the entire thing for me and I didn’t I
98:02
didn’t care right yeah so I don’t care
98:05
so John Keller
98:05
there’s mean anything to me and
98:08
apparently the little retarded kid ends
98:11
up as the king he’s because now he’s
98:13
all-knowing I don’t know he’s the one in
98:15
the wheelchair that doesn’t talk a lot
98:17
he might be a eunuch I’m not really a
98:19
hundred now pushed out of a tower on the
98:23
first episode
98:25
well then because he found the princess
98:29
and her brother having sex this is how
98:32
the show was introduced it was and that
98:34
was by Jon Snow’s dad not even close
98:37
killed who’s more of a king killer than
98:40
anybody there are so many bad things
98:42
happening that Matt is saying none of
98:44
that’s true he’s not referring I saw him
98:50
in one episode and he was talking and I
98:52
was like that kid must be
98:54
no they turn him into this like he
98:56
doesn’t feel things he’s this mystical
98:58
being who that who suddenly now wants to
99:00
be king never mention it before the
99:04
whole games
99:05
I could spend I might do a show where I
99:10
just vent am I sitting – do this to you
99:13
where I just vent about everything wrong
99:15
all of the the logical inconsistencies
99:17
of this dragon fairy show um the only
99:24
one I want to bring up that sentence
99:26
really slowly the logical
99:30
inconsistencies of this Dragon and fairy
99:32
and white and and and and an ice Tom B
99:36
monster show right when people were
99:39
going off on loss and I’m going to say
99:42
that I did not mind the lost ending
99:43
because if you’d been watching the show
99:45
you would have known they told you how
99:48
it was going to end the entire frickin
99:51
show right
99:52
they set the entire time this place is
99:55
too hot to be heaven it must be hell
99:58
they were insipid no spoiler alert
100:00
that’s in season three spoiler and they
100:06
said it a bunch of times throughout it
100:08
so when you find out it’s the afterlife
100:09
anybody that was freaking surprised by
100:12
it is a moron and just had their their
100:15
hopes high and that’s how I feel about
100:18
most people that complain about TV shows
100:20
and how they end it didn’t end the way
100:23
that you wanted it to so now you’re
100:25
gonna bitch and complain about it and
100:27
sign your petitions and beg HBO to
100:29
remake it oh sorry you didn’t like the
100:32
last Jedi sorry that you didn’t like the
100:34
fact that Luke Skywalker tossed his his
100:37
lightsaber over his shoulder in the
100:39
opening scene completely throwing away
100:41
any of the meaning that that lightsaber
100:43
may have held for the last three six
100:46
movies they don’t care they made a
100:51
billion dollars a billion people watched
100:55
that episode you think they give a crap
100:58
what sixteen thousand or a hundred
101:00
thousand people think about it no they
101:04
don’t so Jon Snow kills Daenerys
101:07
Targaryen
101:09
she’s the Khaleesi of the Dothraki okay
101:12
and what’s up his aunt his aunt yeah his
101:15
aunt that is that’s that’s true that is
101:18
true
101:18
his aunt the way it works with the
101:23
Dothraki whoever kills the cow or the
101:26
Khaleesi
101:26
becomes the new cow so he kills her and
101:32
the dragon comes rogue on comes down and
101:35
pushes her go oh oh you’re dead and then
101:38
he inexplicably burns down the throne
101:40
and people were saying oh this was a
101:41
deep he burned the throne because you
101:45
know he saw that that was why she died
101:47
because of her quest for her mad quest
101:49
for power I think if it’s anything like
101:51
the rest of the writing on the show I
101:52
think the dragon thought that the chair
101:54
the chairs made out of swords he thought
101:56
that the chair stabbed her so he burned
101:59
down the stabby chair and it carries his
102:01
mother away carries the woman away
102:03
carries Daenerys away it then fast
102:05
forwards to where he’s been held
102:07
prisoner by the unsullied in the dull
102:09
rocky for killing their leader that’s
102:10
not what should have happened what
102:12
should have happened was they went well
102:14
you’re our new leader and if the
102:15
unsullied said no no no our leaders
102:18
Daenerys and you killed her the Dothraki
102:21
should have been like diadem we don’t
102:23
follow that he’s our leader that could
102:25
have been a real series that could have
102:27
been a great way to end the series in
102:28
the battle between the Dothraki and the
102:30
unsullied for la blah blah blah blah but
102:32
instead we then have to watch nearly an
102:36
hour of of terrible writing where they
102:46
then decide that bran is going to be the
102:48
King who’d brand who’s doesn’t care
102:53
about anything and who shows up they
102:54
show he shows up to the first King
102:56
meeting and goes yeah I don’t care about
102:59
any of this I’m gonna go try to find the
103:00
dragon and then he leaves so that’s
103:02
what’s gonna be like now there’s so much
103:05
there’s so many there so it is sister as
103:09
an anarchy his sister says well the
103:12
north is going to be independent now as
103:15
we were for thousands of years right
103:17
next to her that varies they states they
103:20
pan over to
103:21
the next camera angle they show is of
103:26
the queen of the Ironborn and the Prince
103:30
of Dorne Dorne and the Iron Islands also
103:33
both independent for thousands of years
103:35
and then they go and I thought they were
103:38
gonna go yeah we’re gonna be independent
103:40
– I’m like okay this is you know a
103:42
constitutional convention everyone’s
103:44
gonna break away and there anything
103:45
gonna be a king anymore and instead they
103:46
go and that was and that was he an NFA
103:52
of course see him had a water bottle
103:54
next to him cuz why the fuck not at this
103:55
point this damn show let’s let’s
103:59
and this is why Breaking Bad is the
104:04
greatest show that has ever existed
104:06
raking bad great finale untold and this
104:10
late with Breaking Bad you get you get
104:13
your closure on pretty much everything
104:16
that you ever could possibly have wanted
104:18
to close your own you get and it may not
104:21
have been what you wanted but it told
104:23
you what happened and it made sense and
104:26
it makes an amazing sense that that was
104:27
the biggest problem this I I was upset
104:29
that the series was ending I was upset
104:31
that it didn’t make any damn sense you
104:33
spent six and a half years developing
104:36
these amazing character plots and you
104:38
throw have where’s the Lord of Light
104:40
where’s the however you say in Valyrian
104:43
the prince who was brought where is this
104:44
stuff it’s just the midget says give it
104:47
to the crippled and and oh here’s here’s
104:50
a hot take the dragon burned down the
104:52
throne because he knew that the new king
104:53
wouldn’t eat it let’s just throw
104:55
everything away at this point who the
104:56
hell cares it’s garbage it makes me sick
104:59
and I’m not gonna watch I’m gonna
105:01
continue my boycotting of Disney star
105:04
wars because Disney star wars Disney
105:07
star wars brought to you by the people
105:09
who just ruined the most popular TV show
105:13
in human history this is what I got most
105:19
animated about for this episode by the
105:21
way yeah I mean me too and I didn’t even
105:24
see it so Disney ruin the show
105:33
because they hired two people yes I
105:38
defer to the Star Wars purists on my own
105:42
in my social circles to give you the
105:44
specifics of why Disney has ruined Star
105:47
Wars because I don’t know but meanwhile
105:49
I said to them may any Star Wars Pierce
105:52
so I just want to say this Star Wars
105:56
Christmas special look it up it’s a
106:02
thing it is the first appearance of Boba
106:04
Fett it was before George Lucas started
106:08
taking this way more seriously entirely
106:12
because the before he realized it was a
106:14
billion dollar or four billion dollar
106:16
yeah before he realized that like the
106:18
world was taking this way more seriously
106:20
than he was Star Wars Christmas special
106:23
or holiday special whatever it is very
106:24
very Star Wars Christmas look that up
106:28
yeah so I will never not be angry at
106:33
this what happened in Game of Thrones
106:34
and and it sucks this Star Wars
106:39
Christmas special wasn’t Disney and I
106:42
don’t care what to be like the people
106:45
who say that the prequels are better
106:47
than the new the new movies the new
106:50
trilogy or the nor the spin-offs or the
106:52
one-off they’re wrong they are just
106:54
blatantly completely wrong
106:58
the storyline which was written by the
107:01
same guy who wrote the original the
107:05
storyline written by the same guy that
107:06
wrote the original plane doesn’t even
107:08
follow the storyline where he put into
107:10
place wait because we’re because well
107:18
he’s well in Empire when they’re sitting
107:21
there he’s like how did you know my dad
107:22
he’s like oh I met your dad when he was
107:23
a fighter pilot with with the resistance
107:26
right that’s what obi-wan Kenobi says to
107:29
Luke that’s what Coast obi-wan Kenobi
107:33
says to Luke right just so nobody’s like
107:34
no he didn’t because it was goes to
107:36
whatever no that’s what he says to Luke
107:38
in the prequels winded Anakin and
107:42
obi-wan me
107:46
when he was an obnoxious little child
107:49
who apparently had an immaculate
107:52
conception because the mom didn’t know
107:54
where he came from and then they brought
107:57
in meta chlorines and it’s not like the
108:00
force is just you having some
108:01
all-knowing power about being able to
108:03
like manipulate what’s around you it’s
108:05
oh you have these tiny little parasites
108:07
that live in your blood that give you
108:08
this power and it’s not about like being
108:12
a religion or having some sort of
108:15
spirituality no it’s just you are now
108:16
born with this and then they get mad
108:22
about the classist overtones in the last
108:24
Jedi like I don’t care
108:28
there were classist undertones in the
108:31
last Jedi I didn’t so I didn’t see the
108:33
last Jedi I just watched people vent
108:35
about it yes so the last Jedi they go to
108:38
I don’t learn the name of the planet
108:39
they go to a planet and it’s like a
108:41
gambler’s planet and one of the
108:43
obnoxious characters Rose who I will
108:45
admit Rose really messed up and she is a
108:48
terrible character and I wish she would
108:50
have died I do I wish you would have
108:54
died it would have made that story so
108:55
much better if she had died not just
108:57
because like she was a terrible
108:59
character but because of what she was
109:01
trying to do would have made a lot more
109:03
sense instead of almost killing the guy
109:05
that she allegedly loves she could have
109:08
killed herself and done the exact same
109:10
thing and it would have been a much more
109:12
poignant and poetic way to do what they
109:14
were doing but they needed to make sure
109:16
that they had the Asian in for the next
109:18
episode and I get that because it’s
109:21
Disney the same people who made Song of
109:24
the South gotta make her the payer
109:27
culturally appropriate
109:31
Jon Snow is the cow of the Dothraki and
109:34
I just no no he’s now he’s he’s he’s up
109:41
in the true north with the free folk the
109:46
Toth rocky would love it there anyway
109:49
instead they’re getting on a boat with
109:51
the unsullied and going to I don’t even
109:54
remember where who cares at this point
109:56
and whose boats are those
109:59
there’s just there’s like I actually
110:02
started to write notes of everything
110:04
that I had wrong with it and I thought
110:05
no I’m not gonna do that but then I
110:06
ended up doing it so I should have put
110:07
the notes John snows the cow of the
110:12
Dothraki and I just wanted I just want
110:16
to say that I don’t really care about
110:18
Star Wars I just I want to say here’s
110:21
the other thing I want to say about Star
110:22
Wars no I don’t want to say that it’s
110:30
fear I’m just very upset I’m not
110:32
watching anything else I’m gonna go back
110:35
and just watch the office again because
110:37
that that’s one that ended well
110:40
Parks and Recreation ended oddly but it
110:44
person Trek was weird it was weird but
110:46
it but it but it but you know what it
110:47
did do no one could complain that they
110:49
didn’t know what happened because you
110:50
know what happened like 60 years out
110:51
what happened so that that you know
110:53
weird but any office should have ended
110:56
when Steve Carell left yeah it should
110:57
have it should have it should the whole
111:01
Andy Bernard as manager thing was really
111:03
weird cuz he was gone for half of it
111:05
because he was filming one of the
111:06
hangover movies oh yeah so he was gone
111:10
for most of his tenure as manager and
111:12
then he was all upset that he was
111:13
getting fired and let’s just spoil
111:16
fucking everything every all this shows
111:19
and he gets all upset that he’s getting
111:22
fired and then Dwight and the short
111:25
little who I can’t remember her name
111:27
right now because I haven’t seen that
111:28
show in a week who Pam now the other one
111:32
hit the one he’s been hooking up with
111:34
like the entire oh I’m looking at her
111:37
face right I can see her face in my mind
111:39
the blonde one oh yeah Angela yeah
111:42
Angela he has this great relationship
111:45
with this really hot farmer chick and
111:47
then he finds out that the dad only
111:51
wants to marry her off so that way he
111:52
can like get part of the land or some
111:54
right right right family law and he’s
111:58
like no but I still love Angela and then
112:00
they throw together to this wedding and
112:01
the only good thing about it is where
112:04
Steve Carell comes back and says his one
112:05
line in the entire episode right that’s
112:08
what she’s yeah I can’t believe you came
112:12
that’s what she’s saying and that’s
112:15
literally all he said in that whole
112:16
episode yeah
112:18
the other thing he says more but you
112:20
don’t hear it’s all like yeah it’s lame
112:21
yeah talking on the background yeah yeah
112:23
yeah yeah the only thing he said in the
112:26
entire episode and I’ll assume that’s
112:27
because they at that point they couldn’t
112:29
afford the cost of having Steve Carell
112:31
say more than one line on the show maybe
112:35
I’m wrong but I yeah they just wanted it
112:38
to be he comes in he he’s not stealing
112:41
anything else he’s not stealing a scene
112:43
right words there he makes his one
112:46
classic joke right and then departs into
112:50
the ether but that was a better
112:54
appending than on Game of Thrones
112:57
Jon Snow is the call of the Dothraki
112:59
that’s all I want to say it’s it’s their
113:01
rules let’s see if you’re gonna have
113:03
rules then follow the rules
113:06
it didn’t say if someone kills your
113:08
Khaleesi then go go off to Essos with
113:14
the unsullied and I’m saying that I want
113:19
to get the huge shout out to the two
113:20
people who are still alive and the
113:25
hundreds of people that will listen to
113:27
this because we uh we do well with the
113:29
departing podcasting what other show can
113:35
we spoil for people The Sopranos now
113:37
that and English shit that was a garbage
113:39
ending now I’ve heard someone say that
113:42
the reason that it just cuts to black is
113:45
because that person kills Tony and
113:47
you’re seeing it from his point of view
113:48
but that’s not how point of views work
113:50
um because you’re not seeing it from his
113:53
point of view you’re seeing him from
113:55
your point of view so I don’t I don’t I
113:57
don’t because I guess an earlier up in
113:59
an earlier episode Tony says when you
114:02
die everything just fades to black
114:06
everything just cuts to blow oh okay
114:08
well then there you go so he got killed
114:10
now supposedly there was gonna be a
114:11
Sopranos movie but then Michael
114:15
Imperioli James Gandolfini died that and
114:18
you can’t do a Sopranos movie without
114:20
Tony Soprano they are are they really or
114:25
oh they are doing a prequel fair enough
114:28
um so yes happening that I’ve been
114:32
reading the casting updates on it so at
114:34
this point I am not gonna watch TV shows
114:36
until they are complete and I am told
114:39
that they ended well and thanks you’re
114:42
gonna get so the people who liked it and
114:44
there are people who like the ending of
114:46
Game of Thrones who well I would like
114:52
you to have them message me so I can so
114:56
I can tell them they’re wrong man I
114:59
would love to watch a show with you and
115:02
Shaun Simpson debating this okay so I
115:05
would watch that all day let’s book it
115:07
let’s hope I will send him a message and
115:11
be like hey man you wanted to bait
115:13
somebody on game of throne I’ve seen
115:19
I’ve seen people who enjoyed it and then
115:21
I’ve seen but you’re always gonna have
115:22
the vocal minority who are out there
115:25
yelling and complaining and we are not
115:28
the minority no whoa whoa wait wait well
115:30
we’re the vocal majority you don’t know
115:33
that Oh alien people watched it yeah and
115:36
a lot of us are mad a lot not all oh no
115:40
image or most most are mad most of most
115:45
people and you’re getting I know that
115:48
you’re gonna agree with this most people
115:51
are so complacent they’re just gonna
115:52
agree with whatever it is that the
115:54
writers did and they were just happy to
115:55
see whatever happened no because wrong
115:59
eight words this is not right this is
116:03
true average intelligence incorrect
116:07
are you above average intelligence I I
116:11
can’t see judged by human intelligence
116:14
standard so yes I transcend human
116:19
intelligence right so would you say that
116:22
the average human is intelligent this is
116:28
wrong if you’re not gonna logical
116:32
umi-friend
116:33
but yes no no I would not right the
116:38
average human is not until
116:39
the average human also likes Game of
116:41
Thrones I don’t like where this is going
116:45
at all right and therefore it’s wrong
116:48
there’s going to be accepting of
116:50
whatever it is that they do if you look
116:52
at it in political parties it doesn’t
116:54
matter that Obama bomb Syria and it
116:57
doesn’t matter that Trump is actually
116:59
doing socialist things the people who
117:02
support it blindly support these actions
117:08
and defend them the people who support
117:11
what happened in Game of Thrones blindly
117:14
will defend it
117:15
just because Game of Thrones is their
117:18
show and they will defend it’ll be wrong
117:26
so we’ll just agree to disagree and that
117:29
you’re doing yeah you offended our half
117:33
of our viewing audience just now so well
117:37
that wraps up this pantsless Thursday
117:41
episode that was as scripted as one
117:43
would expect such a thing to be so
117:47
what’s so is Jason back next week or
117:50
maybe you might be back oh we might be
117:56
back tomorrow so guys possibly tomorrow
118:02
on Friday there may be an episode of
118:06
there may or may not be an episode of
118:10
Jason Lyons pivotal show or SEP say
118:15
pivotal um mr. America the bearded truth
118:19
he’ll then possibly or not be on again
118:23
on Monday for mr. America the bitter
118:25
truth and then check us out on pants
118:30
with pants Tuesday’s episode of the
118:34
muddy waters of freedom where we parse
118:37
through the week’s events as as they
118:42
happened and then next Wednesday I will
118:45
have an episode because I’ll have a
118:46
guest hopefully and her name is Chloe
118:49
Val dairy and she is going to be talking
118:52
about her
118:53
series the theory of Enchantment theory
118:58
of Enchantment and then who do you have
119:00
next week in just as poorly as Game of
119:02
Thrones
119:02
no no because it sounds like a spinoff
119:06
no it’s not a TV show it’s a it’s a dark
119:16
has now gone to the West for anybody who
119:19
didn’t know uh real because that’s when
119:23
the people might actually not have have
119:25
known so we apologize for them I’m just
119:29
happy we had an episode where we didn’t
119:30
have to clarify that we’re against rape
119:33
which we are we are strongly we are very
119:38
much we are an anti rape production so
119:42
