[Music] Welcome to Drinking Bros. Presented by GhostBed.com [Music] Sit back, relax and grab a fucking drink. Yeah, welcome to Drinking Bros. Kids. Just got back from Dallas, Texas. Danth and I were at the Blaze doing a few shows yesterday. We had a good time with Sarah Gonzalez down there and our little friend. I'm just going to call him our little friend now at this point. Dave keeps getting small in real life. Yeah, he's shrinking. He's like an old, like an old Italian or Jewish lady. That's what he feels like. And we saw-- He's a great podcast. We don't mind. We had a good time. Yeah, he's really good. We didn't do the show, but we saw Alex Stein as well. He's been busy lately registering illegal immigrants to vote. Yep, sure has. Sure has. Which is nice. One of the most enjoyable humans in real life, by the way. He ended up hanging out with him for like an hour in the green room and I just like him as a person. He's entertainment shit. Yeah, he's a good guy. Obviously out of control, but him as a person, he's great. Got to chat with our good friend Ryan Mills as well, who's out in Dallas. Ryan's up to it again. - Part A of Celtzer is now available in the HEB's and New Bronze Fools, San Angelo, Lubbock, Texas, Belair, Texas, Waka, Hatchee. - Waka, Waka, Hatchee, Waka, Hatchee, Hatchee. - You know Waka, Hatchee, Buck. - It's a fucking engine tribe. - Yeah, really? - Yeah. - Fuck, yeah, dude. Are we getting Indians fucked up? - Oh yeah, dude. It also comes up in King of the Hill a lot. - This is really? - They play the Waka, Hatchee Cowboys in football. - Oh, there's a-- - I'm not a big animated guy. - There's another insurrection happening right now. - Is there, well, while you look that up, I'll read the rest of these. Quero, Texas, Humboldt, Texas, Oasis, Licker in Cyprus. Seagulls off Greenville Ave in Dallas with more twin liquors. Seagulls locations opening soon. And then Hammer Kroger's in Houston. And then Ryguy, Ryan Mills has got a tasting. This Friday at Total Wine in the Alliance Fort Worth store from four to seven, that is 3-1-0-1. Texas, Sage, Trail Fort Worth, Texas, 7-6-1-7-7. We love you, Ryguy. On the phone with him earlier this morning here. Wild times, ma'am. Wild fucking times all the way around. I guess we'll start with the breaking news here, and I'll get your feedback on this. - You're talking about Trump playing golf at Bryce and the Shambles? - No, that is not breaking news. - 'Cause he looked, so we told the story before. I have friends who are Secret Service on his detail, or we're on his detail, they're not anymore. One of our good friends was Chief of Security for a certain airplane for a while, right? For about eight years. And the story about Trump playing golf is that he'll get to within six or eight feet of the hole and just pick the ball if he goes, I'm not wasting my time with that. Like that's, I'm gonna make that putt. For years, I've been like, oh, it's full of shit. He just can't putt. So he's mulligans it, or not mulligans it, but he takes a gimme every time and picks it up. Well, according to the goddamn internet over the last 24 hours, this motherfucker can play. Like really play. - He dropped an 18 footer delco, did you watch that? - It was a-- - I just watched the whole thing. His putt and stroke is atrocious. But he is maybe-- - All of his mechanics are really bad, but he hits every fairway. - He's maybe a generational driver of the golf ball. Yeah, it's crazy. - It's fucking wild dude. Like, can you imagine, like without seeing the result of it, it looks like Charles Barkley playing golf, but he doesn't miss fairways. His approach game is pretty good. Like he distanced why he's always good, but then he can putt too. Look what the fuck. - It's amazing. What do they shoot, delco? - 50. - They shot 50, 22 under. - Jesus Christ. - So they did not break 50, unfortunately. - Well, they tied the record. - They tied the record. - For Bryson's channel. - Yeah, yeah. For Bryson's channel, which is awesome, by the way, and a lot of people remarked that there was nothing wrong with Trump's ear. Guys, production-wise, all this shit was shot in advance, man. It was shot three or four weeks ago, for Christ's sakes, man. Holy shit. Even like us, we were on the road yesterday. We shot a show last week. It happens, and you want to get ahead of schedule, 'cause you don't want to let the people down. Neither does Trump. The breaking news I was referring to here is, there is an early favorite listed for Kamala Harris' VP pick, and it's Mark Kelly out of Arizona. I see the story I'm reading right now says at Shapiro. Everybody is wildly speculating. Not one of these reports is accurate. - Okay. - Shapiro would be a bad pick. - Shapiro is the best available pick. - He's the best available pick. I think it's bad for him personally, Delco. - Yeah, agree. - That, and also, I don't know if you want a Jewish man running the VP slot with half your party being anti-Israel. - But Kamala's anti-Israel. - Yes. - She didn't show up to the Netanyahu thing today, so I think they may be trying to play both sides there. Maybe, if you're him though, I wouldn't do it. - Mark Kelly, to me, makes sense because, what's he gonna run for? He's not running for president, ever. - Well, he's an unlovable cunt too, though. - I don't know much about him, except he was an astronaut, and I respect astronauts. - I don't respect anybody. - I do. - I don't respect-- - Buzz Aldrin is my fucking dude. - I don't respect anybody who wants to take other people's fucking guns away. - Is that what Mark Kelly wants to do? - That's all he wants to do. His wife is Gabby Gippard. - She got shot in the head, right? - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - So, maybe they're going with the assassination angle. Who knows? At this point, I really don't care. I don't want Josh Shapiro. I don't want Gretchen Whitmer, I can tell you that. I don't want a swing state. Great, go to fucking Arizona. I don't give a shit about that. That's fine. - Which, if they think that's a swing state, they're fucked. - Right, so go ahead and do that. Also waiting for her to speak publicly for the first time because that would be a blast. So I'm all in on Kamala, let's go. Let's do all the things for that. In the meantime, are you expecting an endorsement out of Joseph Robinette Biden tonight, as he says goodbye to the nation and potentially his life? - I don't know what to expect. - I don't either. - To be honest, like we knew exactly, we called it down basically to the minute of how long, why did. Of how long you do would be. I don't even know where he was. I think, was he in Delaware or was that DC? It doesn't matter. - I don't know, but everybody at the Blaze went out of their way to commend you yesterday and say, hey dude, how did you call him the exact day? - I just, I don't know, just pay attention. But, you know, this time, I really don't know. I think 12 minutes, you and I agreed with that. Earlier in the car. - Over under, on the speeds. - I think the over under is 12. I don't think he could do more, to be honest. I think, like there's a lot of smoke around some crazy medical emergency that happened. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. I think something happened, right? And that's when Kamala pounced, she's like, oh, this is my chance to do the 25th. And I put this out. Like it's been kind of slowly leaking through the press the last couple of days. But she tried to evoke the 25th a week and a half ago, like I said. And now everyone's like, no, I didn't happen. It's like, oh, I guess it did, right? So, she made her move. So something probably did happen. And it looks like he's deteriorating rapidly. Although he looked pretty spry yesterday. Although it was only from like an eight foot walk from the building to the car. - That's the only thing we've seen of him. - Yeah, I mean, do they really like put him in the car, inject him and then let him get out and walk really quick. And he just collapses when he gets inside or out. Who knows, right? I just don't think he's got the stamina to last very long anymore. - I don't either, but let's face it. This isn't going to be live. This will be definitely edited. - This was probably recorded like a month ago, to be honest. - Well, and here's the other part about this is-- - Is it in our life? - Well, not that. Well, maybe we'll see. But in our lifetime, is this the top five presidential speech of in our lifetime? It has to be right. Nixon? - Bush after 9/11's number one. - Actually, we weren't around for Nixon. So like that wasn't, no. - Bush after 9/11's probably number one. Mr. Gorbachev teared on this wall. It's probably number two. I think number three for me would be Osama bin Laden dying. - I agree. 'Cause I knew exactly where I wasn't. That happened with Obama. - John Cena gave that speech. - He should have. - No, he did. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You mean like the actual Obama speech, but John Cena's way better. - Sure. - After that, to be honest, I don't really remember many presidential speeches. I don't remember anything from Clinton's time. - No. - George H.W. Bush, this aggression will not stand. I remember that. - Yeah. - If that was a kid, then these guys weren't even fucking aware of what was going on yet. - I did not have sexual relations with that one. - Ah, I guess that one, yeah. - Sexual relations with that one. - I guess, but that wasn't a, that wasn't a, that was testimony, right? So that wasn't like, no, he gave a speech. He didn't give a speech. - There was a speech, but I'm pretty sure that was, wasn't that, then he questioned what the meaning of the word is, is or some shit like that. Or maybe that was a speech, I don't know. But I don't really remember that one that much. I remember 9/11 number one. Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall, although I was a child for that as well, but I remember that was his son. Back then, there were only three stations. - Yeah, I was a kid and I remember being on. - It was everywhere. - Yes, and then I remember the images of the wall coming down. - Yeah, and then I remember Ben Lodden. - Yes. - And I remember. - I know exactly where I was for that. - And I remember this aggression will not stand, not even just because of Bush's speech, but because of Dana Carvey making fun of him for the next five years for it. - Yes. - Just his, like, manners and shit. But I don't know what the rest would be. - So I'm trying to think of, from Bush senior, I don't, he, I know there was probably an invasion of Iraq speech, but I don't remember it. And then the other quotable. - Well, that was it. This aggression will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait will not stand. - No, George W. Bush, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - No, H.W. - Or H.W. Bush, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh, you mean like George W. Going into Iraq the second time. Oh, I don't remember anything from that. There was a shock and awe speech at some point, I think, but I don't know that it was, I think it was more, what's his nuts, black general. - Colin Powell. - Colin Powell, so. - I think he did a lot of that talking. - So do you have Gorbachev Obama, or yeah, Gorbachev-- - In no particular order. - The 9/11 Gorbachev Obama, or Osama bin Laden, and then aggression, yeah. So I don't know what the fifth one would be. I guess it would be Clinton saying, I don't have sex with that one. - This should have accomplished? - No, 'cause that was just on a carrier, and it was more of a step banner. - What was, "Read my lips, no new taxes, a speech." 'Cause that is a famous quote, but I don't know if it was a speech. - No, it was during a debate actually. - And that was in 1982, so that was before I was born. - I was H.W. in his term. - Read my lips. - I thought that, oh, yeah, that's right, wasn't Reagan. Yeah, so that would have been '88. - Yeah, it was in a-- - I don't really remember that. - I just remember the quote. I don't remember any context of it. - I don't remember a whole lot of campaign political speeches. It's mostly events, right? - Yeah, so I mean, but let's discuss that. What are you hoping to hear tonight from Biden? - Oh, I don't know. A resignation? - I mean, it's what it is. - Look, it's what it will be for sure. - What I don't know, and I'm not talking about from the campaign, I'm talking about from the office of president. Like, how are you feeling about Kamala Harris and all this other stuff? Right now what we have is a corpse puppet that is being controlled by unelected bureaucrats. At least if Kamala Harris is made, and also Trump would have to update all of his numbers, which would be kind of funny too, to be honest. I have to go for 47 to 48. But having somebody that's actually in that job, no matter how dumb they are, if they're functioning, there's the buck stops somewhere. Right now, if we got attacked right now, who declares war? Joe fucking Biden? Not one prayer. I mean, technically Congress is supposed to declare war. But under the advice of the president, the president's like, "Hey, I need to go to war, "authorize it, thank you, go into war." No fucking way Joe Biden could do that right now. And look, it's like a couple months, right? But a lot of shit can happen in a couple of fucking months. - Sure could, man. We've seen what's happened in the last two weeks for Christ's sakes, like we've got two more months, three more months of this shit. - I mean, what would happen right now if like Kamala got clipped or incapacitated, even she didn't die, she's out, she gets fucking injured or even sick or ill or something, and she's incapacitated. And so nobody is in fucking charge right now. Nobody, any human being is elected is in charge right now. That is a constitutional crisis. It cannot be allowed to happen. And if your aides don't know what's happening either, that's what makes tonight so surreal for me. - It's wild, I'll tell you what happens. - The senior staff, senior staff found out 15 minutes before that that letter was going out. Everybody else, all of the campaign and White House staff found out on Twitter. - Twitter. - All of them. - Yep. - What are we gonna say about? - Come Mike Johnson, come on down. - Yeah, can you imagine that? - I hate that guy. - I just want him to be president so I can show him what porn I've been watching. - How do you gonna do that? - I don't know, but he shows his son what porn he doesn't watch, right? So I just want to-- - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Him and his son are internet buddies. - I don't know, you gotta have to give me what kind of spot. - Yeah, I don't know this story, Bob. - They're like Jesus buddies on the internet, they monitor each other's devices. - Oh yeah, yeah. - So they're-- - So they're-- - Accountability. - Accountability. - Accountability. - Isn't that what Butters call it? Accountability. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So I-- - But they're not watching porn, Bob. - Well, I don't know. - That's the place to be, yes. - As president, he would in some ways be my own accountability and I would drive straight to Washington DC and confess to everything I've been jerking off to. - What you should do is what I always do and that is prep the porn out on a dot major spreader. - Yup. (buzzing) - Yeah, you got him. - It takes 45 minutes for one JPEG. - But it's worth it. - Oh dude, I mean, you can blast a load right on that thing. - Yeah, during, I mean, you could probably squeeze off three rounds during the whole printing of that thing. - It takes a while, yeah. - And I guess it depends on how quick you are, personally. - For me personally tonight, I wanna hear what the final straw was, what did him in, why he felt like he was physically unable to do it, because everybody's been questioning his mental acuity for so long. I think it's gonna be hard for him to admit, to admit live on air to the world, that mentally he's not up to the job and he's not fit enough to do it, but I also don't know what the other excuse would be. - But how do you make that statement without it reflecting on your current office? - I agree. - I don't understand how to either. - And maybe he doesn't even try, 'cause let's be honest, his dude's been out to lunch. We've been talking about it for a while, as a matter of fact, we were talking about it with Adam Kinsiger in early 2020, and that episode's gonna go live on DB Classics on Twitter, Friday night. - Yes. - So stay tuned for that one, that'll be fun. - And Adam, if you forgot what you said on this show, well, the internet remembers, we're gonna play that on Twitter on Friday night, so enjoy it. George Farm also remembers. So last night we put out Alex Jones 2020 election prediction. - Yep. - Just so you can look back and see, I haven't watched it yet. I just posted it, I don't know what's in there, but sometimes we go watch it and see how accurate any of us were, 'cause it was a while. - I was not accurate in that area. I remember, 'cause I called 2016, every state except for one, and then I was wrong, maybe, we'll see later, but so that was the first one. - It was a wild ass show. Tonight, the Riley Gaines episode is going out. - Okay, tomorrow. - We had her on, before I was with you. - Years ago, yeah. - DB Classics on Twitter, Taco Destroyers. So for all you out there listening in the chat right now, all of you. - It's free, it's free. We're just giving it away. - All the audio listeners right now, you can find it, it's on Twitter, it'll be free to just go to our Twitter account, subscribe, hit that little bell at the top so you get notifications, 'cause we're gonna be doing one of these DB Classics episodes every night for the foreseeable future. - Yeah, because we've got so many in the catalog that way you can catch back up and say, "Oh fuck, I remember that, I remember that, that was great." Tonight though, for me, I wanna hear why you stepped down, what was the final decision, and then I really, really wanna hear him endorse Kamala Harris tonight. I like-- - 'Cause you don't believe he did? - Or why? - No, because I want hers the candidate, I've always wanted hers the candidate. That was my final choice where that would be an easy victory, and I think that would be the final nail in Obama's coffin, because everybody else has come out and endorsed her. Everybody else seems to be all in except for them, for some reason. When a president goes live in prime time, it's the only time that every network, television, cable network, outlet, everybody gives you that spot, so it'll be everywhere, and this will be seen by probably 100 million people. We have not had a president step down since Richard Nixon, I will be watching. - The debate was 43 million. That is for a super early, especially presidential debate, that is insane number. - For one channel that didn't let us fucking share on YouTube and everything else, their estimates of that were in the 120s, somewhere like that, with everybody spread it around doing Patreon and bullshit and all that other stuff, but-- - How much do you think it was like 10 minutes in there, like, oh my God, you gotta turn this on? - I know. - Oh. - Do you know what I mean? - Yeah, I would love to see the chronological graph of traffic. - Because I bet, I don't remember a lot of people being terribly interested in the debate, going in, like people I know and stuff like that, and then I feel like it was like, dude, you gotta turn this on. - That's exactly what happened. I remember getting those text messages. I was already watching it because, obviously, what we do for a living, but the text messages I was getting is like, dude, are you watching this? And I was like, you know, you're fucking texting, right? Yeah, I'm watching this bullshit. And everybody else got locked in to see how bad of a train wreck it was. Tonight is gonna be a lot more controlled, a lot more edited, and to your point, I would be shocked if this wasn't shot in advance at some point, or they're adding this up up until the moment it is. He's nowhere near a live television. - I mean, keep a close eye out for jump cuts, or camera angle changes is usually how they do it. Like, it'll go from a direct shot to a fucking profile. - Oh, yeah, why do I do a close-up or something like that? - That's how, because you noticed that when he made the comments about Trump's assassination in "10," that didn't happen. It was straight on into camera, and he's just staring right into the teleprompter reading it the whole time. - For six minutes. - If there are any camera angle changes, that means that he couldn't do it. He couldn't stay locked in for however long that was. - Right, right. What we gonna save up? - I was gonna say, what if we get daved tonight? He's giving us beach, passes out, gets rushed out, like the end of day, right, when Kevin climbed, when he was like, "I can't be fake president forever." - Yeah. - And then they haul him off. - I mean, it's very wag the dog already, isn't it? - All this is. - I mean, it's so weird. - All of this Christ, okay. - This is the weirdest, as far as politics go, I mean, I assumed that behind the scenes, it was super weird in '87 and '88. Late '87, all the way through early '89, to be honest, when Bush, H.W. got inaugurated. 'Cause Reagan was done. He was out to lunch. - Correct. - Nancy was kind of handling his affairs, but H.W. was running the White House, and Tip O'Neal was in charge of the Congress, and you just didn't hear much about it, right? Kind of like how they covered up FDR's legs for fucking what six years. - For his little polio legs, too. - I think it was like six years where they just propped him up in a fucking, in a hand truck, like in a dolly, basically. - Yeah, I mean, you all hand truck. - Yeah, but it's modern time you can't do that. There's no hiding it, right? - No, and I remember watching that Reagan doc that was out a few years ago on Showtime, and they had the old footage of Reagan giving these speeches, how many takes he was doing. He was doing it like an actor, and she was standing literally right behind camera. And if the take was bad, they would redo it until he got it correct, and then they would get him the fuck out of there towards the end. - Yeah. - Now, obviously, things have changed, and you got a lot better technology, AI, everything else. I think we're gonna get all the things tonight. That being said, do you think that's that colon the other night Tacoma-less thing was AI? Now, she tripped up and said, recording versus, "Oh, you're on the phone, and we're live together, Joe, "this is all great," and then had to break out into that infamous horrendous laughter that she has. - I don't know. To be honest, I don't know. It didn't seem real. - No. - But, you know, I mean, we're so primed to be suspicious of everything that's going on right now, because we're getting lied to so much that, I don't know, I just can't tell anymore. Like, I'm starting to distrust even my own ability to parse out what's real or not. - Same. Same. And then you have to start holding people accountable. Bob, if you go to my Twitter, you'd said something the other day of like, "Hey, dude, I don't really care "that I'm the first to break the news." And I think you've got to start calling out these people here, which I did. It was a, I guess, a Twitter feed. I don't know if it's a real news. That's the other part of this. - I mean, it was at Laurel Loomer, again? - It's all fucking hard. No, it was not Loomer. - She's like, she's going after like Thomas Massey call him an anti-Semitic and say, "You should go home and spend time with your family." His wife just died a couple of months ago, a couple of weeks ago. Like, she's just a ghoulish piece of shit human being. - So, yeah, there it is right there, Bob. This was two news organizations that I don't know, but they have a decent number of followers. - Ron Newsler is good. - Ron Newsler is huge. - Okay, so they are very good. It's like the modern digital AP. - And pop that up again, Bob. Who's the one underneath it? - I don't know who Global Press is. - Okay, so Global Press had about 45 to 47,000 followers on it. Now, they had broke his story that Biden was dead. We've speculated behind the scenes here, but I said, "Hey, man, we can't go live with Biden's dead "because we have no confirmation of this. "We have no fucking idea." And this organization did. Now, Raw Alerts popped in and said, "Hey, dude, you're fucking this up for the rest of us. "I tell you what, let's make a bet live online here "that if Biden isn't dead and he's gonna come out "and give a speech, you have to delete your accounts." - No, that's backwards. - Oh, it is, yes. - I'll follow it. - Okay, guys. - This is how crazy it is. Global Press, who is nobody, they just been wildly speculately. Really, what Global Press does, I think is just wait for Laura Louvre to say some crazy shit that has no basis in reality at all. And then they post it like it's breaking news. Like, when you put breaking in all caps followed by a colon and then you put information after that, that means that you are breaking the story, not that it's a breaking story, that you're breaking the story, right? But nothing matters anymore. There's no penalty for being wrong anymore. Well, until yourself impose one, right? So Global Alerts, raw alerts says, "Hey, you guys are full of shit." And Global Alerts is like, "Oh, yeah, we're full of shit, we'll fucking delete our account." And if you are full of shit, you have to delete yours. And Raw Alerts is like, "Okay, cool." - Yeah, let's do it. - Let's do it. - Which Raw Alerts, I think has like a million, two million. - Yeah, you got a lot. - And Global Press only had like 40,000 times. - They're very good. And they break-- - 25,000. - Raw News, Raw News Alerts, whatever, Raw Alerts. They break things fast, but it's usually legit verified. - Yeah, it's just digital-associated press. - Yeah, it's all the way up. - Okay, they were very good at it. - And then obviously Global Press was fucking wrong, because they don't have any sources. - So here's what we did. So I retweeted it and I said, "Look, let's hold these guys accountable. Drink your bros, retweeted it." And said, "Let's hold these guys accountable. Whoever's wrong in this, bitch. Let's actually see if they'll delete their account." And Bob, to Global Press's credit, they deleted their fucking account. - Maybe, or they deactivated it. Time will tell. We'll see if they come back. - Yes, deactivated it. - It does not work anymore. - Yeah, they're down, they're down. - Yeah, it's down. - Yeah, it's down. - It's the same way. - And they're down for, by the way, I think two or three days now at this point. - And if they get, you said they're like 50, 60,000 followers. - Yeah, yeah. - So they pay for Twitter. They were probably making some amount of money on Twitter if they're getting impressions and shit like that. So I mean, they kind of put their money where their mouth is a little bit, I guess. - Yeah, it was the first time that I've seen somebody say, all right, great, if I'm wrong and wrong, we'll delete it, we'll delete it. And now it's deleted. This is what makes all of this so difficult on a day-to-day basis of who we're believing and who we're not believing. You know why it's difficult? It's because the mainstream media has put us in this position. - Oh yeah. - I never questioned this shit before until all of it was slanted one way and every fucking news article, the wording of it, the way it was written, the way it was set on television, made me fucking question it. So yeah, I go out and read shit like raw alerts for Christ's sakes or global press, which I'd never look at in a million fucking years, but here we are, even after tonight's speech, I don't think we're gonna get the real answer we want. I guarantee you people go online, the second Biden is done and say that was AI, that was shot in advance, he's fucking dead, these other camera angles. People have been posting things where a look alike, allegedly had a mask on and was walking around as him and you could see the latex moving when he scratched his neck. That's where we are with all this shit and that's what makes all of this so hard to believe. Hopefully, he comes out tonight, gives a genuine speech, I don't even care if he fucking slurs or forgets and fucks his way through this, just give us something real tonight. You were president of the United States for Christ's sakes and hopefully you get to step down with some grace and some dignity, but behind the scenes, who knows how that really shook out. - I don't know, I mean, I don't know, yeah. And it doesn't really matter at this point because regardless of what happens tonight or regardless of what coup took place behind the scenes and it's clear one did for the DNC to get Biden out of the way, which is, by the way, not, this isn't shocking and it's not conspiratorial, they literally did it to Bernie just a couple of years ago. - Yes. - You know what I mean? This isn't that funny. - But they didn't do it because he was old and wasn't able to do one of their job. - They just wanted their person, yeah. - So to me, it doesn't really matter. We know that there's been some unelected bureaucracy, whether it is Obama's legacy or just Ron Klain and then the new guy who's the chief of staff, running the country without any advice or even awareness from the man who was actually elected, maybe elected, to do that job. Like, Joe Biden has had very little to do with the running of the government for the last three and a half years, just to be frank about that, right? Except for to be a conduit from whomever's putting stuff in his ear and manipulating him or even keeping him behind their arm while they whisper the fucking commands to people, right? We know this has been happening. - Yeah. - So this is just like, this is seeing fire after you've seen smoke. This is what you should have expected as long as I am. So regardless of what happens tonight, it doesn't really fucking matter. We know that we are in a constitutional crisis right now. - We are, and then us as an organization and as a podcast, we got burned by fake news yesterday. - Oh. - And I'll tell this story. - They tried to take our boy. - They tried to take Jimmy Carter from us. - Not on my watch. - Yeah, you burned us. - Bob, you burned us. - Bob was the one who fucking really got to the bottom of that story. My God, man, that was trending number two in the world so fast, Jimmy Carter's dead. Every news organization ran it. I was like, holy shit, the one fucking day that we're gone from the studio, Jimmy Carter dies, 'cause we're gonna have this huge show for him when he finally checks out of this world. Obviously Bob's got an autograph picture for softcore history riding on this as well. - Delco's got our own bets when he turns 100. - I think Delco's got a lower back tattoo. - Yeah, there's a lot going on here and, you know, Bob, I went through every page on Twitter, man, and sure enough, everybody had said he's dead, so I was like, well, shit, we gotta start planning this out. - That's true. - Yeah, I think I asked you to buy peanuts and peanut butter, some Jimmy Carter mask off of Amazon, all of it. Is this from his, is this statement from his foundation or the actual statement that was released yesterday? - This is a big fake statement. - Okay. - Fools. You guys are all full, which they just slid in a paragraph, and this is, by the way, to your point, A, I just wanna say, I'm glad I found out it was fake, 'cause I was about to pull a Romeo and Juliet, right? You know, Romeo thinks Juliet's dead, and then he kills himself, and then she wakes up. Like, that's, I was very close to ending my life because Jimmy was gone. But, someone, to your point about, is there's no fucking metal for being first. Like, you don't get anything for being fucking first. They just slid this paragraph into this thing, and it was like, I know, no one's gonna read it. - Oh, about Carlin' or Rosalind? - Rosalind being a baddie. - In the fact that, yeah, here's what it said. At her passing last November president, Carter said Rosalind was a baddie. Jill Melania, even throat goat Nancy Reagan, had nothing on Rosalind. She was the original brat. She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalind was in the world, I always knew someone loved and supported me. Just slid that one sentence in there, just proving that people do not read. - Yeah. - It will not read. - Why would you read? What are you gay? - I know, right? - You know what I mean? Also, you don't know that, that's not how Jimmy Carter talks. - I know it's fair. - He might say that Rosalind was a fucking baddie, we don't know. We don't know. But if Bob, no lie, because we were busy and we were gonna shoot two or three shows out in Dallas, if you wouldn't have found that, I would have gone the rest of my day thinking that Jimmy died. Like, for real. - Yeah. - 'Cause that went on for hours, dude. Hours afterwards. We got tagged so many fucking times that Jimmy had died. And I was like, I think Dan finally responded to somebody and was just like, "Dude, he's alive, man, Bob." - I've got tagged in so much shit on Twitter, like, dude. - Oh, we got hammered with it. - Come on, man. - Hammered. And I promise you, the day Jimmy dies, we shut down the studio and have a full fucking live show for him. - Yes. - In a full memorial here. - You know who we should have on? I'm trying to find what your actor was, but you know who we should have on for that episode? The actor who wore the Jimmy Carter mask in point break. - Oh my God. Big fan of his. Big fan of his. Pop on over, is Netanyahu speaking to Congress right now? - Yeah. - Has been. - Some of these protesters hold up some, I'm gonna send this to you, Bob. If you can play this live on air, I really hope he said this in the quote. That'd be great. - The KFC thing? - Yeah. - I think he did. - Did he really? Okay. Bob, check your Twitter feed. I just DM'd you the link. Pop this up on screen here. And again, we have no president even here to greet this guy. - Yeah, that's another part. So a bunch of people boycotted Netanyahu speaking to Congress to include Thomas Massey, by the way. Thomas Massey, all the squad people. - Okay. - Right, 'cause they're like, why the fuck is a foreign leader coming to lobby our Congress? - Yeah. They should. - Get the fuck out. - They should fucking boycott the shit out of this dude. - Yeah, by the way, and I said the same as the Linsky. Like, why the fuck is anybody from any president from another country coming to talk to our fucking Congress? - Yeah, same thing. Like, get the fuck out. - You know, he literally started this 'cause he was about to be removed from office in Israel. - Dan, then we got some sponsors that put this show on the air first and foremost.

I haven't seen any of this today, but I don't know. - That's amazing, absolutely amazing. Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming gays for Gaza. They might as well hold up signs saying chickens for KFC. - Oh, shut the fuck up. He's like that. That is stupid. - These protesters chant from the river to the sea, but many don't have a clue. - Okay, which river and which sea? - Which sea here? - Black sea. - Who allowed this to happen and why? - Well, all of Congress did, really. - Why? - But because they like to suck Israel's dick, I guess, right? - But this is the second time now in two years, we've had a president from another country address our Congress about shit that I don't give a fuck about. - Well, you know who hasn't been invited to address Congress, a single mom from Atlanta who's struggling to put food on her kid's table because we are experiencing 40-year record high inflation. - Yeah. - That's more important to me than this fucking guy. - Leticia from Atlanta, who's got like two kids and her husband's a piece of shit somewhere and she's working two jobs to afford her kids. I haven't seen her in front of the camera. I haven't seen some white suburban lady who's like, my grocery bill's now two and a half, three times more than what it was four years ago. I don't see her talking to Congress. - No. - But these cuts can come over here and lobby us for money. Fuck them. - I don't understand. So is that what it is that they're lobbying for money? - That's all it is. That's all it is. They're trying to fucking build a... They know that Trump's gonna win and he's gonna dry up some of this money. Now, I don't think Trump will cut money to Israel on force. - So this will lead to your insurrection that you were talking about earlier here. That was the pro-Palestine insurrection at the fucking... - Let's call it what it is. It's pro-homass. - Okay. That's fine. - Fuck off, dude. - That's fine. - Now, the interesting part about this right now is that we're getting into some murky legal territory because Netanyahu, according to all reports I've seen so far, Netanyahu, because nobody from the White House actually showed up to even talk to him, is gonna go out to Mar-a-Lago tomorrow and talk to Trump. Now, that's really close to being a violation of the Logan Act. Technically, I think it only will apply if it's an adversarial country, which, I mean, they're not right now, right? Israel does spy on us quite a bit, but they're considered an ally by the State Department. So I don't think the Logan Act applies here, but a non-president negotiating with a foreign leader on behalf of the US is, I think, illegal under most circumstances. So I'm not sure how this works. I'm not seeing any, I'm just seeing it pretty broadly, a federal law that criminalizes negotiation between the US and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. - Yeah, but the word adversarial shows up in the Logan Act. - And what are they negotiating right now, you know? Unless he wins. - I mean, Netanyahu's just going on there to try to fucking make sure Trump's gonna keep that faucet on. That's all that is. - Yeah, and he does not like Netanyahu. - No, no. - But Trump's very, if you ever see him engage with Netanyahu, it's very like-- - He talks to him like as a child. - And he should. - Yeah, yes. I mean, BB Netanyahu is a piece of shit. - Yeah. - Like 100%. Forget about what happened since October 7th of the last year. He's been a piece of shit for decades. - There's no adversarial. - No. - Okay. - Yeah, I'm like looking at the actual text of it right now. - It doesn't really matter. I, for these fucking guys, like who cares about this fucking guy? What happened here? I see this clip up here. Was this inside the-- - This is an insurrection. - Okay, got it. How many fucking people are in here? (crowd cheering) - That's a lot of fucking people, dude. - So are they getting jail sentences? - We'll see if their bank accounts get frozen if they get held without trial for 200 plus days. If their electronics get seized and all their communications get dumped onto an NSA server. - 'Cause I'm looking at-- - I mean, wouldn't expect that'll happen. As a matter of fact, they were at Penn, our Union Station there earlier today and ripped the American flag down off Union Station and tried to put a Palestinian flag up there. - Great. - That to me, let's rock this back here. Here it is on fire right here at Union Station. Let's rock this back to the good old days where like capture the flag is based on holding territory. The game capture the flag. You come onto my base, you take my flag and whatever and you put yours up. That means you own that now, that is an invasion. Anybody that takes down the American flag and throws up a Palestinian flag should be immediately arrested and then deported out of this country. I don't give a fuck what their citizen status is. Get out, get the fuck out. That is at very least a fucking mild treason, or light treason, excuse me, I believe is what the rest of the developers used to call it. Like fuck that, that is not protected speech to try to overthrow the fucking United States for another country that doesn't even fucking exist. The other thing is if somebody showed up in this crowd and opened fire there, I don't think that I would care about that one. That one I would let go. They've also died the fountains outside the White House red. - They should do it green, dude. So we can fucking St. Patty's mid, like it's, I'll be down with that. - They got the colors, right? Bob, I'll send this to you here. - I'll take you two colors, but. - No, you can't actually. Somebody said colors today. - Oh, sweet. - And a speech, so you're good. You're good, yeah. Let's show this because, god damn, that's expensive, man. Fuckin' a dude. If you're gonna die a whole goddamn fountain like that? - This is some red 40. - Looks pretty sweet to be honest. - Look at us painting the ass. - Look, if you're a student filmmaker shooting a horror film, now's the time to get down to this fountain and get some good footage. - It sure is, there's some stock footage for your indie horror. - Yeah. - Before you take it to Sundance, but all this shit, like nobody's getting fines, nobody's going to jail for it. - They used to lay, it's so weird the way they report this stuff. So some journalists ask if anybody had been arrested and the Capitol Police said somebody had been apprehended. What, what, a fugitive? No, you arrest people. You detain people or you arrest them. You don't apprehend them when they're on the location. You fuckin' dummy. So they're just trying to obfuscate the reality of what's happening here. Remember, in 2018, a couple years before fuckin' the insurrection of January 6, the goddamn pro-abortion people stormed into the fuckin' Supreme Court and then they went over to the Hart Senate Building and took it over in the same way the exact, they broke through barriers, they pushed their way through the front door. Exactly what happened to the Capitol in January 6. Not a goddamn thing happened. Not one thing happened. - We had the, we had a J6 grandma come by the studio there, she made some cookies. They were delightful, by the way. They're still back there. And a surprise Joel hasn't eaten all those yet. - He was gone. - Yeah. - He was in the house and then he was out of the strip club all night with us. - She said she's-- - She said she's recording. - That's right. Gary did a shot out of somebody's ass while I heard. - Oh, he did? - That's actually right. - I think he's sexually determined. - Oh. - Good for him. - He didn't know. - We'll see that a little later on in the week. But yeah, the woman who was here dropped off the cookies said she's looking at a year, said she was escorted into the Capitol and took some pictures and then she left. She's probably what, mid, late '60s, huh? - Something like that, yeah. - I have another clip from the protest that you'll probably enjoy more. - Okay. - Let's see that one. - Is it somebody trying to fucking make a shield out of a, like a toughy, tough trash can or whatever again? - Yeah, what is it? - No, no, no. This is actually a good one. - Oh, somebody set themselves on fire? - I turned it off. - Hey, you guys got to calm down in here. - Yeah, there you go. Let's see it. - Yeah, it's off, see. - I don't like it when you guys fight. - I do. I do like that one. - Here is, for some reason they're burning a guy's shopping cart too, but anyway, here is the-- - Fuck the homeless. - Fuck the homeless. - Yeah, now that I can get behind. - Yeah. Let's start doing that. Let's go down to that encampment over near Delco's old house. - Yeah. - Fuck that whole thing. - And just light it ablaze. - Anyways, play the damn video. - What have we got? (upbeat music) - Somebody in Sparys saves the American flag. (crowd cheering) - Come after me when I pick my flag up and I will cave your fucking head in. - Then they chase after him. - Oh, whoops, whoops. All these people need to be deported. - All of every single one of them. - Every single one of them. - Get the fuck out. - The white ones too. - We assumed he met the white ones. - Rob, why is he running away? - He got a piece of it. - Why aren't the cops-- - We're worried about getting attacked. - Why aren't the cops going in there and stuck? - Take the American flag, I'm sure. - Yeah, this fucking thing. - The cops aren't doing anything. - This is happening though, all over the country for this shit. - Why-- - Why are-- - I forget about it until this shit pops up. - We're in America. Why the fuck are a bunch of goddamn Muslims and their terrorist friends? Like these terrorist supporting pieces of shit, burning our flag and we're just allowing that. We should kill these people. - I don't understand. - You know what's fucked up? - I don't think they're Muslim. - There's a bunch of Muslim people out there. - I know there's a bunch of Muslim people. - The guy that was just chasing him is a goddamn Muslim, Bob. - Dude, I don't know about that. He might have just been a black guy. And I'm not even trying to like give Muslims like a break here or whatever, like the ones who are protesting this. I just don't get the vibe aside from like the really big proteins. - I mean, look, right, that guy is not a black guy. - Bob, so the guy, scroll back maybe three seconds. - Muslim, Muslim, they're all Muslims. - There is a couple honkeys in there. - There's plenty of crackers in there doing dumb shit here. - Is there any chance that there's any pro-Israeli people here that wanna make, you know, that side look terrible? - Oh, come on. - I mean, come on, we asked the same question about anything that's left and right. We might as well. - I mean, who would it be though, a Jew? - It'd be pretty dangerous for a Jew to show up there. - Really? - My whole point though is I'm not trying to say that there aren't a ton of Muslims who are totally off base here. I'm just saying, my vibe when I see these protests a lot of times is that it's just a bunch of like people who are completely unconnected to anything involving this. - Well, here's where I have to put this picture up right here. - Put the white kid all the way, right? - There's one white guy. - Here's where they put all of them in a bunch of Muslims. - All of them in a fucking plane and ship them over to God. - That dude has blonde hair, right? - I think I'm saying. - Around the right does, yeah. - But one guy. - But put all of them in a plane and ship them to Gaza, the white guy, all of them. I don't give a fuck what your race is or ethnicity. If you're here and you're protesting this shit and cool with them burning the United States flag, put them all on a fucking plane to Gaza and then see how it works out. - Yep, yep. You've got a right to protest what's happening inside of your own country, right? Like if you're not happy with taxes, if you're not happening with the policy that's going on inside the country, you do not have the right to support another country ahead of your own. - Aren't they protesting us spending money in Israel? - Don't care if they are there. - They're waiving Palestinian flags. - But the other part of this is hopefully Trump gets in there, ends the funding for that, ends the funding for the other bullshit. - Yeah, for sure. But to be clear, I don't give two fucks about Israel either. - Yeah. - But Israelis aren't burning American flags and fucking tearing shit up in our cities. They're at work right now. - So if a Jewish kid hangs in Israeli flag in his dorm room, which I saw like a million times in college. - People have flags everywhere, right? - But what they're not saying is if you don't support my country, I'm gonna tear down yours, right? That's not happening. - Right. - That's exactly what's happening at these protests. - Yeah, I'm not saying these people are piecing shit. - From the river to the sea, death to America, that's what's being chanted in Michigan, in Minnesota, and fucking Seattle and D.C. That's happening every single day with these protests. Fuck these people. I mean, I agree with you to some degree that there's gonna be some expression there, but there's a line. And it's when, not when you prioritize somewhere else over your country, you're free to do that whenever you want. But if you start taking violent action like this, that is the literal definition of terrorism. These people should be ejected from our country immediately. Anybody that's here on a student or work visa, anybody that's a permanent resident, any of that stuff that's not a citizen, immediately revoke whatever fucking they have and get them the fuck out of here. Send them to God damn Mexico, but the Mexicans deal with them, right? I don't give a shit where they go. We gotta stop coddling these motherfuckers. - Same, I just want all this shit to fucking end in all these cities. Same with all of the BLM and all this other shit. - Go to fucking work, dude. Go to work. In the meantime though, Congress is still at work with, even though Cheetos stepped down yesterday, they got FBI director Christopher Ray on the stand here today. - He's just as useless. - Useless this fucking guy. - Just an absolute piece of shit. - So play this clip for us. - You want this or kiss? - Yes, we'll start with this one, because this one was just talking about how many shots were fired and he couldn't even answer that. - Did. - Crooks fire eight shots. - We have recovered eight cartridges on the roof. - Did crooks fire? - Does he answer the fucking question, dude? - I understand why, but why don't you know that? - Do they know that? And that's why I wanted to bring up this clip specifically. Are they purposely keeping things? 'Cause it's still an act of investigation. - Could be, yeah, that's possible. Well, it wouldn't be that, because we have video footage of that. He was the only guy on the roof. There's footage of that rooftop the entire time the shooting's going on. But even that shaky cell phone stuff, there's never another person on top of it. - But even that statement means, it leaves it open to interpretation of, oh, was there somebody else or was there, what the fuck? - Well, I mean, this isn't even the worst thing we've found out the last two days. Yesterday, body cam footage from one of the Secret Service guys leaked. - Oh, I didn't see that. - From one of the state police, rather. And it shows a conversation they were having with the Secret Service, and apparently this kid rode in on a bike or something, and it had been called up to Secret Service like hours ahead of time. Like they saw him, that he was suspicious. Their dudes, their shooters on the second floor of that building right there, overlooking the rooftop that the guy shot from. Like, it's just really hard to believe that-- - They didn't let it happen. - It's hard to believe that somebody didn't move out of the way and let the fucking car crash. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? It's, I'm not saying it's impossible. Life is weird, and I'm sure you've seen like Furio, you've seen videos of-- - Things you can't explain. - On YouTube, like this guy fucking some homeless dude or some guy walks down the street, taps a guy on his shoulder and he turns around and all of a sudden the car slams into the side of that building you've ever seen that one. Stuff like that happens. I don't know what to say about it. - You could even go back to probably the most famous and consequential assassination decided Julius Caesar and that happened, Archduke Ferdinand. They missed him four times and he drove off and they finally, they went down a wrong street and they were like, ah, damn, we went on a trick. - A wrong left turn and he just got clipped right there. - 'Cause the guy who missed him was sitting there eating a fucking sandwich at a deli. - Like he had given up for the day. He was done for the day. He was like, ah, good get a sandwich. - I fucking shot six times, I missed him. They come down a side street. I'm sorry, they come down a main street, take a wrong left into a dead end and he just gets up from eating a sandwich, walks over, there's five people in the car and Ferdinand is in the back or the left passenger seat. He just walks up, pop, pop, pop. - Shut the fuck up. - That started World War I. So you know, weird shit can happen all the time. I don't believe in this day and age with the amount of eyeballs and the amount of expertise and all the other shit that's going on with this kind of operation that it's very hard. I don't believe it. I'm not saying it's not true. I just don't believe that it was coincident or incompetent. I think something else happened. - Okay, play this clip. I haven't seen this yet. - So this is the guy that, yes. - They sent the, yes. Beaver County's not ever seen it sent the picture out, this is him. - Okay, all right. - So there was an APB out on this guy. They had sent pictures of him. - It was he the secret service. - We don't know. - We don't know. - I don't know. - I'm just treating that as suspicious device. - One second, I believe the sniper that seeing these and sending pictures is right inside his building. Michelle is Greg in there. All right. So if you go to that window to open and yell for Greg, that's the sniper that sent the original pictures and seeing him come from the bike and set the book back down and then lost sight of him. - Okay. - He's the one that sent the pictures out. I don't know if you got the same ones I did. - I think I did, yeah. He's like, guys glasses on and he's... - Mother of God. - I mean, they're... - So we had the picture of that? - Yeah, I got that. - Oh, bad news. - They're safe for sketches. - There's an eight, I know, right? - And our sniper seeing him walking away from-- - 'Cause he wearing sketches? - Yeah. - Like, he would be ready to see that window. He's the one that physically seen this, sent the pictures and called them. - I mean, this is wild that there's an APB out of the guy. They have this picture circulating. Not just with the cops with the secret service as well. And he's still able to get out of the building and take a shot. He's able to walk around in front of the building with a fucking rangefinder looking up at the building. - We've been up here for about half an hour. - No, that was two hours before. - Yeah. - Jesus fucking Christ. This is, I mean, I got, I almost hope that it was intentional. Because if we're this incompetent, then it's open to you. - Oh yeah, then we're fucked as a country, but... Wow, dude. Is that blood on the roof, Bob? - Yeah, that is a... - Every now and again, you'll see his body. It's blurred out, but I think you can see his feet sticking out. - Yeah, you can see the sketches. It's like it's fucking kids on the "Hailbop" piece. - People, man. - I went out and bought some, you know, those purple kids. - Yeah. - I bought some. - Yeah, you like those? They're fucking wild, they suck. - Oh, they're Nike's, I'm sorry. - Nike's, yeah, I wanted to be part of it. - I was confused because there was a great SNL sketch that was like, they were showing the Nike shoes on the "Hailbop" people and they were like, "Bye, Keds." For good Christians. - I mean, I like it. - It's not what everybody was doing at every phone. - Holy shit, man. - You know what I mean? - You're stuck in the air right now, right? - Yeah, this is wild to see. - I know from the painting. (indistinct chatter) - The tenuous guys find out what they know, who they are, whatever. I'm trying to get clear information to remember that you see them. - Yeah, it brings us all to our power. - We have one shooter to see. I think we have three victims in the crowd. Is that what you guys hear in there? - I don't know. I'm not sure. - So I heard one deceased, two white women. - I know two helicopters, you think. - Yeah, they're kind of. - I don't know how many-- - Now, also, they're not having any problems standing up on this sloped roof here. There's like ten guys. So what was the issue with that as well? - I know, obviously she resigned yesterday. - Yeah, finally. - It's too sloped for a sniper, but not too sloped for a guy to get up there with dress shoes on. - I mean, when your adrenaline's pumping, like theirs is, I'm sure, you know, it's kind of-- - Yeah, you're able to get up there in a suit. - Yeah, it's like in a full suit. It's like Spider-Man, he gets those little things that come out of the end of his fingertips so he can hold on to stuff, little metal things. That happens with this guy's feet. - Jesus Christ. - Through his shoes there. - And then Gates ended up interviewing him today, Bob. If you wanna play that clip, go ahead. All of these are for show, by the way. Nothing's gonna happen to any of these fucking people. - I don't have any information about the shooter. He was not in our holdings before the shooting. - No communication in any chat rooms, no CIs or confidential human sources, have any interaction with them? - No, we've run a thorough search for the subject through all of our holdings and he was not in them anywhere. - Were there any FBI agents or informants present at the Trump rally in Butler? - Not to my knowledge. - And Mr. Jordan was talking to you about Iran. Were law enforcement resources diverted from the protection of President Trump to John Bolton as a consequence of concern that Mr. Bolton might have been the target of Iranian malign efforts? - That's really a secret service decision. I don't know the answer to that. That's really something they would know better. What I can tell you is that there are a number of individuals, you mentioned one who we've brought a specific criminal case for the Iranians targeting for assassination. But are you going to get that answer to us whether or not resources were diverted from Trump to Bolton? Is that just going to be part of your review? - I think that's going to be part of the reviews by the inspector general and the FHS, right? - Of DHS and the outside panel. - I think that's an important point because the inspector general for DHS has really fallen out of favor with the administration because he's been pointing out all the problems on the border with my orcas and Biden. And we're always kind of worried that they're about to fire him, which would be a really bad idea now that this role that you've identified is so critical. It'd be a bad idea to fire the IG for DHS during the pendency of this, right, Mr. Director? - I don't think that would be a good idea. - I'm with you on that. So I want to zoom out a little bit. How often do you brief President Biden? - You mean on this specific case? - No, just general. - I mean, I don't know that I could give you a number. - Is it like weekly, monthly, daily? - It's not at a regular cadence. There have been times when there have been months at a time when I haven't and then there have been times when several days apart, I have. It's always with other people. - The vice president, is she typically there? - Often has been. - Okay, so when did you notice his decline? - Yeah, in my interactions, in my role, all my interactions with the current president have been completely professional. - Right, but I mean, the cognitive decline. I don't say any treated you unprofessionally, just maybe not picking things up as quickly as he used to. - Again, I don't meet with him very often, but what you're describing is not something that I've observed during my interactions with him. - I mean, we've had it observed so often that the ranking member and Mr. Schiff on this committee have said that he could no longer continue as a candidate. And so, since you're the FBI director, I was just sort of wondering like, who's running the country? - The gates are starting to look like a super villain. - It's something you're doing on purpose. - Yeah, so if something bad happened, you'd have to go brief President Biden about it right now. God forbid. - And on any number of occasions, I have briefed the president, and as I said, those briefings have all been uneventful and unremarkable. - Oh, I could imagine them being uneventful. But in the work where the vice president's also present, like you say there's like more than half the time, there's these briefings she's there to. - I don't know if I'd said more than half the time. Certainly there have been times where she's been president, there've been other times where she hasn't. - I take you at your word when you say this is the most complicated thread environment you've ever observed over a long career in law enforcement. And I'm just kind of wondering with this assassination attempt, with the invasion at our border, with all the Hamas that have been led in, that you've talked about and briefed about, like is Biden up to it? And if he's not up to it, and you're a guy who's been regularly briefing him, like who's been in on this conspiracy to hide the real Joe Biden from all of us for years? It never occurred to you that this guy wasn't up to it. And all these briefings you did. - As I said, my briefings with the president have all been completely fine. - Were they between 10 a.m. and that's questions? There hasn't been anything of note in the area that you're talking about. - Did you ever have to brief him before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.? We hear those are as good hours. - I can't, I've certainly times that I have briefed I've included. - They've got very close to laughing. - Yeah. - I'm Christopher Ray. - Ray seems like he's having a good time. - Yeah. - I think the American people want to know how we got this point. - I think a lot of people, - But someone who's like him or not to finish his own party, is basically put him out to pasture. - They're relieved that everybody (indistinct) - They're biting his flocks. - I'm just kind of wondering if - So they don't have to pretend with all of us about how things were going with him. I guess we'll have to figure that out. - You can count on me to be straight with you, sir. - We'll see. - Gentlemen. - So that was fun. Bob, I'm going to send you another clip here regarding the shooter today that's also fun. And we can play that next on Twitter. It's been a really fun day on the hill all the way around. And to go back to what you said earlier, I don't know if all of this all the way around is just massive incompetence. And that's just the way our country is. Because we see it here in a local level and we chatted about this yesterday with the blaze where you want to hope to be positive locally and then expand and go globally with shit, obviously. But if we can't get anybody to work here, is this just the standard for every job, no matter how high up it is, all the way around for America these days? Or was there something nefarious to any of this? And I don't know the answer. - Well, here's the answer. There aren't, and you can see this reflected in any profession. Like, so whether it be governing or writing philosophy, entertainment, no matter what it is, right, sports even. - Something novel or unique or exciting or useful and industry comes about, maybe sometimes starting with just one person, right? An innovator, so to speak, like Henry Ford, right? And then the demand for it gets so high that you have to scale outside of your window, I guess, of control or comfortability. So think about like how there aren't enough (sighs) there aren't enough like great athletes to have the amount of NFL teams we have, in my opinion, right? I just don't believe it, like the, especially like, we can't, and there's rarely ever a season in Major League Baseball where, injuries outstanding that most teams don't have a competent starting pitcher or two, right? It is very common for half of the NFL to have a shitty quarterback. Like, you know from the very beginning, and it's true for baseball to some degree as well because of the composition of the roster, but you know from the very beginning of the season, like the Giants have no shot of making the playoffs, they have no shot of winning a Super Bowl, no shot, right? - I learned that after watching hard times. - There's just not enough of that. And then as these industries expand rapidly, it just doesn't, the talent can't keep up with the demand at some point. And this happens always, right? And we see it in government as well. It's one of the many, many reasons, aside from just protecting liberty generally speaking, one of the many reasons that the founders set up a system of Republican federalism, right? Where we're a Republican federalist, which means power starts at the lowest possible level and gets, I guess, let's call it least out to the Fed in very small portions, only when enumerated, right? It does this to make sure that the things are efficient and competent. And when power is at the top and goes down, then it becomes completely inefficient and competent. We don't, there aren't enough people good at doing what we need to do to have a government the size. Like go to the fucking DMV. - I went yesterday. - Go to the DMV. - It was awful. - And tell me there are enough confident people in America. - There was two people working, and I couldn't get a fucking license. I had 19 forms of identification. - So here's what you do, you have a private company do that. And the private company is beholden not to just, you know, holding on to federal employees because it's a federal job. They're beholden to putting out a good product, otherwise people tell them to get fucked, right? So then they fire incompetent people. We don't have enough competent people to have this amount of bureaucracy. There aren't enough competent people to run something like the FBI. It just doesn't exist, I'm sorry. - Yeah. - And to be frank, it seems like now, and maybe it's because people are getting out of the process and stuff, but it seems like now we don't have enough competent people to do policing either. And I don't blame the guys for leaving. Like I wouldn't be a cop right now. This is a fucking way. - No. - With the threat environment plus the way that democratic cities treat these people, no way I would do that. - I completely agree. - So, I mean, like we're in a position in our republic right now, where nobody has faith in any of these systems, and because of the faith, because of the generational lack of faith in the system, now people who would normally have gone into those professions aren't any longer. And the only people that go into them are sycophants and weaklings who want power. That's it, right? And this is the result, you get Jerry fucking Nadler. Like in no point in American history, before the last like 40 years or so, would a fucking little cunt like that be able to serve in congress. They would have run his ass out of town. They would have called him every name in the book, not, and he's Jewish, but not like that. They would call it a major GA, whatever. And it's his heightened stat right now to do with it, fucking Teddy Roosevelt was five foot eight, right? I mean, inside, like we think of him as a big man, but he was not a big man. You can't be a mewling quim like that, and serve in the United States government, right? It's not a thing, but it is now, right? - It is, yeah. - It's just like, come on. We're fucking rapidly decaying. - Play this next clip on. - Speaking of Jerry Nadler, cunt. - Director, let me go back to where Mr. Bishop was. Tell me about the drone. You act like he wanted to fill us in on that, fill us in. - So we have recovered a drone that the shooter appears to have used. It's being exploited and analyzed by the FBI lab. The drone was recovered in his vehicle. So at the time of the shooting, the drone was in his vehicle with the controller. In addition, our investigation has uncovered. - Do you know what time of the day he flew it, and if he flew it on the day, it's not. - Yeah, so in addition, it appears that around 3.50 pm, four o'clock in that window on the day of the shooting, that the shooter was flying the drone around the area. - Two hours. - About 11 minutes. I want to be clear, but when I say the area, not over the stage and that part of the area itself, I would say about 200 yards give or take away from that. We think, but we do not know. So again, this is one of these things that's qualified because of our ongoing review, that he was live-streaming, viewing the footage from that again, about 11 minutes and around the 3.50, four o'clock pm range. - Two hours before he's flying a drone in the vicinity of the route. - Yeah, about 200 yards away. - Okay, that's important information. What about the bombs that we've heard about in the shooter's car? - So again, the FBI lab is exploiting those explosive devices. There were, we've recovered three devices, two in his vehicle, and one back in his residence. Are these what you would call, are your experts will call sophisticated operations, or this, I think, I don't know, that's what I've been told by people who have some understanding of this area. - Yeah, I think we've seen more sophisticated unless, I would say these are relatively, again, keyword relatively crude devices themselves, but they did have the ability to be detonated remotely. And so to that point, in addition to the two devices that we recovered out of his vehicle, there were receivers for those two explosive devices with the devices, and then on the shooter himself, when he was killed by law enforcement, he had a transmitter with him. Now, I do want to add one important point here. It was at the moment, it looks to us, again, ongoing review, and I can't say that too many times. At a moment, it looks like, because of the on/off position on the receivers, that if he had tried to detonate those devices from the roof, it would not have worked, but that doesn't mean the explosives weren't dangerous. - And I'm sure we're going to get in all these subjects a little bit later as well. Tell us what you can about the encrypted platforms we've heard about. - So one of the things that we're drilling into hard with the shooter, in an effort to try to learn more about his state of mind, his motive, his ideology, his context, everything else, is to look at all of his devices, any social media accounts he had, et cetera. And one of the things we've learned in finally getting into his phone, which was also a significant technical challenge from an encryption perspective, but in addition, once we got on the phone, it turned out he was using some encrypted messaging application. - And again, the same question relative to the bombs, was this a pretty sophisticated, or is this the kind of the norm you see with folks like, similar situation, how much-- - On this subject, I would say, this has unfortunately now become very commonplace, and it's a real challenge for not just the FBI, but state and local law, unfortunately. - Tell me exactly the scope of your investigation, include what I call that critical five minutes from when the 609, this is basically, I think on information you've given the Congress, 609 when the shooters identified on the roof, and 614 when President Trump has ultimately escorted off, and all that happens, the shots that take place in between there, do you have access to the communications that we're going on at the time, in that critical five minutes? - So, our investigation, when you say scope, our investigation includes that timeframe, although focused again, on the shooter himself, and-- - Understands that. - As soon as involved in that? - He's obviously involved in that timeframe. - Correct, and as part of that, as part of our focus, our investigation of the shooter, and the attack, of course, we are interviewing law enforcement from the scene, because those are some of the most significant witnesses, and we're obviously getting access to their materials, and that kind of thing. - You're getting access to any-- - You're getting access to any-- - You have access to the communications that exist there. - That exact question, as I sit here at the moment, I don't know the exact answer to that question, but I know that Secret Service has been cooperative with us. - The Congress would like access to those communications as well. I mean, not just that five minutes, although I think that's the critical timeframe. There's lots of communications, we'd love to have access as well. I see my time is up, and they have called votes on the floor, I think there are about six minutes left in votes, so we will, the committee will stand in recess until March 10 minutes after both conclude on the House floor. - The encrypted devices and all this shit that they're talking about, that's become pretty common. Fuck, I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like that. - Yeah, I mean, I don't even, you can take, maybe something about encrypted radio, and taking the components out, and using that to make a detonator receiver. - It was talking about the phone initially. When they got his phone, they said it was hard to open, and he said, unfortunately, this is becoming more and more common, that people are able to encrypt their own devices, and things like that. - I don't know why you would say that's unfortunate unless you're trying to get into private citizens' phones. - Yeah. - Fuck off. The government sees any kind of privacy or liberty as a fucking threat to them. You know what I mean? Fuck off, dude. Like, I understand this is a very rare situation. Shit, it doesn't have much. The government doesn't have a right to look at anything. - But as far as yesterday is concerned with Cheetos stepping down, finally, and resigning, do you know how to answer any fucking questions? He gets on here and says, not only do they have the drone, not only do we have the body cam footage, not only was there an APB out on this guy, it's really fucking hard to say that somebody didn't just let this happen at this point. - Yeah, I agree. - And just watching this on a daily basis, like, she's out of there now and stepped down. But what do you do with this guy? Does Trump come in and just clean house? - I mean, Christopher Ray has been in charge of the FBI during a time when the FBI has been weaponized against Republicans, not just Trump himself, but Catholic bombs and all kinds of other people, the J6 people. So he, you know, if there's a God, Christopher Ray ends up underneath a prison somewhere. Like, there's gotta start being consequences other than so Cheetos, for example, resigned. She's gonna get $50,000 a year for the rest of her life in pension, pro-rated to it with inflation as it goes up. - Really? - $50,000 a year. - I didn't know that. - Yup, for the rest of her goddamn life. - For failing, for being bad at her job. And then, you know, Kamala Harris has sucked literally, but also figuratively at everything she's done. All everything that the left wants out of a fucking person in the criminal justice system, she did the opposite. And she was made the borders are, no matter what people on Twitter are saying right now, that actually she was never made the borders are. She was just asked to go talk to Central America, Axios-- - No, her title was the borders are. - Axios, Harris to visit, Axios actually posted that. And then somebody posted Axios in a community notes on Twitter, posted Axios own fucking article. - Yeah. - Where they said, Harris to visit Mexico and Guatemala to address root causes of border crosses, that's the name of the article. But in it, it says exactly when Biden anointed her borders are. Like literally, they're trying to fucking tell you the shit didn't happen, even though you've got, it's on their website still, it's still on there. - You still did it. - Yeah, so it's like, there's got to start being consequences for stuff. I think that if a president violates people's rights intentionally with executive orders, or members of Congress pass unconstitutional bills that violate people's rights, there has to be a penalty for that. They should be fined, they should be imprisoned for it. - I think the Supreme Court just said that there cannot be a penalty for a president violating people's rights as long as it's in execution of the duty. - Violating people's rights is not a lawful order, Bob. Nope, unless you say it is. - Well, I mean, it's the Supreme Court upheld it, yeah. But the Supreme Court should have the right, not just to strike down laws that should have a right to penalize the legislators. - I'm just saying the president has, the executive branch has broad authority to do what they want. - No, they don't. - They certainly do. - For a lawful order, right? So that's what you're saying is technically not true. They didn't even decide on anything that goes. What they did say was that they affirmed, they didn't decide, they affirmed that he did have broad authority, but the question came down to what was a lawful order, right? What is a legal order or whatever? And that's what got returned down to the lower court. That has not been adjudicated yet. - Not yet, no. And they pushed that date until, I believe December? - Who the fuck knows? - I think that one falls back under Jack Smith, does it? - It does. - I think it's up to him to represent the case, Bob, I believe? - I think so. - So I'm gonna have to-- - So even in Florida or something? - Judge Cannon said, "Look, Congress didn't elect "Jack Smith as a special counsel, so was that job even legal?" - I don't know that Congress necessarily needs to, I guess it depends on the situation. - If it's a special counsel. - I think the president can appoint special counsel, right? I would have to check that. But my point on that is not like, oh, he can hire SEAL Team Six to kill Kamala Harris or whatever, it's more along the lines of, well, maybe he can suspend Habeas Corpus again. Or put people who put Chinese people in a camp if China invades Taiwan, you know what I mean? Like it's that type of situation where, that's definitely a total violation of your rights, correct? - It is, yeah, but that's not, it's also not a lawful order. And I don't think the Supreme Court would adjudicate it as such. I don't actually know the history of this. So for the Japanese internment camps, I know that everybody's apologized and blah, blah, blah, did the Supreme Court ever weigh in on that? - Yes, it upheld the constitutionality of internment camps during World War II. - And what year was that? - 1944. - Do you know the case? Let's look it up. - Korematsu versus United States. - Okay. - That is an example of when the Supreme Court failed, right? - I don't know 'cause it wasn't alive. - Yeah. - And I don't really care. - Putting people in internment camps is a failure. If they're American citizens, that's a failure. - What is an internment camp? - It's what fucking George Decay and all of his friends got put into you. - It's a prison camp. It's not like a concentration camp. Although technically-- - I mean, concentration camp just means a bunch of people are concentrating into one area. - Yeah, it's not a death camp. - It doesn't mean anything, yeah. - Yeah, concentration camp and death camp gets conflated constantly. On purpose now. - Yeah, yeah, on purpose. They put everybody in camps. So Japanese people weren't just running around sabotaging American shit. I don't know why they thought that was gonna be the case. I don't think there was any threat of that. Those people left Japan for a reason because they were escaping imperialism. - Yeah, they probably looked at it like, why take the risk? - I mean, if we went to war, let's just say Iran came after us. Yeah, let's go ahead and rest every Iranian. - Yeah. - Every one of them. - Man, if we went to their country, that's it. - You looked at homeboy, he just got sentenced what, two days ago? Wall Street Journal reporter, 19 years? - That was in Russia. - Russia, yeah. - But that's why we're better than that. - Is it? - Are we? - We got better than that. - Yes. - Where would you rather live right now? - Where would you rather live right now? - Somebody just took a shot at the president last week. - Your apple's in orangeing it right now, right? Obviously, living in America is quite a bit better and to include to your point, political prosecution, it's shit like that. But America's got quite a bit more blood on its hands. - I'm talking about our government. - America's got quite a bit more blood on its hands in the 21st century than Russia does, probably by a factor of two or three, frankly, right? - Us speaking out against Biden right now, I'm not just arrested by police and they've seen from the end. - That part of it, for sure, I'm talking about the function of the government, not just about, not just inward, but outward as well. Like, that matters. It matters that our government routinely declare, well, doesn't even declare war on anybody anymore. It just sends us over to fuck a bunch of people up. - And we do get penalized for speaking out against Biden, otherwise we wouldn't be on Patreon. - Well, that's not the same as going into a Google-og though. - Yeah. I'm not fucking, I'm still alive. - Yeah. - Well, for now. - Are you? - For now, for now. - For now. - Actually, I think we're all dead. - We might be. - I think we're all in. - A lot of people think the 2012. - It turns to Simworld. - The CERN, like, large hadron collider when it went off, it like split the fabric of space time and we're gonna be talking about it. - It wouldn't surprise me if this was a Simworld. I won't rule that out. - Hey, Dan, actually parse this out from me real quick. - That's trying to fact check you on who's killed more people just 'cause the Ukraine war's been kind of a bloodbath. - It's about a half a million in Ukraine. - So, yeah, yeah, and that's not including civilians, I think. I think that's just battlefield. - That I don't know. - But here's my question. I was looking at the Iraq war death toll and I'm getting two different things here. Between 946,000 and 1.1 million people, but then it says only 186 to 210,000 Iraqi civilians who I would imagine would make up the bulk of it. We didn't kill 900,000 terrorists, right? - Well, I mean, so this is the problem in Iraq. First of all, nobody after the first month war uniform, ever again, you know what I mean? - Right. - So-- - Who was who? - What, the people that we were fighting, it's hard to tell if they were, so when Baghdad for us and Sader said it was easy because they were J. Shulmati, the Motti army. That's Maktad al-Sader's army and what they were, they were like, essentially insurrectionists, I guess, for the entire time we were deployed to Iraq. And I mean, we from the invasion until the last boot fucking left that place. I guess until ISIS came onto the scene later, 2013, that timeframe, something like that. Maybe it's 2011, actually, I think it was 2013. But anyways, oftentimes, and this is a comment, maybe on soldiering and terrorism at the same time, we were fighting dudes who were fucking poor and some Iranian money was coming into Iraq and you would pay a guy a year's salary to fucking pick up a bomb and go bury it next to the side of the road, right? And we would have a fucking guy up there watching him do it and we'd shoot him in his face. Is that a terrorist or is that a poor dude in a poor country getting an entire year's worth of salary to fucking put a bomb for somebody, like some asshole that had made it his country? - It's like Puki in New Jack City, you gotta sell that crack. - Yeah, but as far as how we would record that death, that's a terrorist, that's an enemy combatant to us. - Right, so Bob, the answer to your question is not as simple as like, what does that mean to be? Are they diehard jihadi's or is it some fucking broke dick? You can't fucking get a job. - So my only question was, I assumed that-- - I mean, we killed them either way. - Yeah, I assumed that civilians made up the bulk of it, but if I'm only seeing 200,000? - Probably swept it under a bomb. - There's absolutely no, 200,000 civilians is a fucking joke. - Well, I see in between 200,000 and 1.1 million. It's the highest. - The billions, yes. - Yes, I would say on the higher end of that. And not just from us, right, from Iraq as well. - It's the total, yeah, it's not American kills, it's the total collateral damage of the war. - Yeah, we did not do a very good job. I mean, like, our guys did, I think our guys did a really good job of target discrimination, not killing people unnecessarily, I know my unit did. We didn't go out of our way to fuck anybody up, they didn't serve it, but again, what does it mean to be a terrorist, exactly, right? Like these guys, they weren't having fucking, they weren't blowing themselves up. People did this, right? But the bulk of the people that we interacted with, they were like, we would get into a gunfight and leave equipment behind, or there would be brass and stuff, and these poor people, these Bedoins, would come pick it up, reload the ammo, and sell it back to fucking Al-Qaeda or J. Scholmadi or somebody, is that terrorist? - They're in their fucking country. I'm not trying to be obtuse about this, I just, I don't know, that's weird to me. - But either way, the way that our government's headed, we're not far off, I don't think. If something doesn't change. - The United States government has no problem murdering people. - No, not at all. We've done it for years and years and years. - Speaking of murder, breaking news, the NBA just announced that TNT did not match Amazon's offer. - Oh boy. - So, Amazon Prime will have the NBA next year. - That's the end of the show. - Starting an octopus, Berkeley then. Man, sorry, buddy. Fuck. - There's only one thing, there's only one thing to do now. You put him on ESPN's WNBA coverage. - Oh, God. - Oh, fuck yeah, let's go, dude. - Can you imagine? - No, he's not a WNBA team in San Antonio still. - I don't know. He actually announced he's retiring. So, he's gonna hang it up. He did a full speech and just said, look, if it's not on TNT, I've enjoyed my time here and I'm retiring and I'm not coming back. I don't blame him for that. Amazon Prime though, man. Watching that shit on Prime. Have you guys watched the NFL on Prime yet, on Thursdays? - Yeah, a little bit. The games are so bad, I usually don't, but every once in a while. - We haven't seen good games on that. - I know, we have money on them, so like I end up watching that shit. - But the broadcast isn't anything close to how bad Apple's baseball broadcast is. - No, no, look. - That would be good. - The Amazon does a pretty good job. - The guys who called the game, I think it's Al Michaels and Kirk Herb Street. I think they're great, they're just always stuck with shitty games and Al Michaels gets so pissed off on a weekly basis that he just goes-- - Like, he actually set it on the broadcast one time. - Yes. - It was a bad problem. - It was so fucking funny. - And I like those guys, but they're middle team who does the pre-game halftime and then post-game is dog shit across the board. Tony Gonzalez, man. - Holy Christ. Good looking guy, but zero person. - I'm sorry, Bezos gave Gonzalez a job? - Sure did. - Oh. - That's the ultimate cook? - I know. - It's the ultimate cook. You work for me, motherfucker? - God. - Yes. - He's the dude. - Does he have that job? - He doesn't have that job. - He doesn't have that job. - I mean, that is a bird. - I, bro. - That is a cook in a gilded cage. - The first game that was televised, I mean, 'cause I was by myself, kids have gone to bed at that point. I'm like, oh my God, is this real? - Well, is there any sense of who the broadcast team might be for Amazon for the NBA? - They have not announced any one. - 'Cause there's not that many people out there that are going to even do this cut work. - So the rumor was about-- - It was like Mike Bream, there's fucking-- - The rumor behind the network was, they wanted to just take the whole team over there. - Why not? Well, I mean, Charles doesn't wanna go. - Charles doesn't wanna go. So maybe this is an opportunity for Draymond to go ahead and retire right now. - He should. - I think he should. - Didn't ESPN just let go of Jeff Van Gundy? He's coaching right now. - Yeah, he's coaching. - He's an assistant with the Clippers or some shit, right? - Yeah. - He's gonna be an assistant, so he's coaching. - Oh, no. - I hate the Van Gundys, both of them, so I don't really give a shit, but. Yeah, it's gonna be weird, and there's not enough talent in that field either. You know who turned out to be pretty good? It was that chick, actually. - Kannus Parker? - No, I, Toresburg is fine, but Kannus Parker was really good. She was stepping and calling some games here and there. - But she's like one of the best, what she players of all time. - She's super knowledgeable, so like-- - Now, you know who the worst broadcaster I've ever heard in my life is? - It's this woman that works for the Oakland A's. Have you heard this person? Bob, can you find something on Twitter of her just calling a home run or something? - There's, oh, boy. - It's the worst thing, it's like a long fly ball. - Gone. - It's gone. - And he's gonna run the bases now. - I watched hard knocks 'cause they're doing like a fucking, before the hard knocks now, it's the Giants and the Saequan Barkley fumble and all that shit. He's just a room full of fucking 40 aggressive dudes and then just one shakin' a ponytail and you're like, what the fuck are you doin', dude? What are you doin' in this? - 3-2 to get lost out towards left field, see you later. Zach is on the attack. - That's actually not a bad one. Play another one. - Gross. - As soon as you begin Pro Ball, you wanna develop a routine and that's set deep out towards center field and see you later. Seth Brown gettin' in a long way. - That's like an 800 foot home run. - It's just DEI. - But I guess that's as excited as you can get about the Oakland Athletics at this point. Are they gonna rename the team to Sacramento A's for this season or are they still Oakland? - I don't know. They can never get rid of the A's though. I mean, that's an original baseball team. They have to keep the name. - Yeah, they have to keep it. - That was 1870s, right? - Yeah. - The Philadelphia A's, I think? - I gotta keep it. Now's the point of the show. We get to the drinking bro of the week. Bob, go to drinkingbros.com. We actually have some yard signs for presale here. Talked to Brandon earlier who runs our store and he said there's only about 46 left here. We got the convicted felon yard signs right there. Presale right now and then they'll ship in a week. 48 left if you want them on drinkingbros.com. We get everything there. We finally have women's T-shirts. We got a lot of women who have messaged us and said, "Dude, thank you, what took so long." - They just needed a good merch company. So they rock, even Jesse was wearing it the other day and a big fan, way to go, Brandon. And yes, his name is Brandon, even though tonight Brandon is retiring. - Oh, I forgot that Joe Biden was even doing a thing tonight. - Yeah, he is, he is. This, by the way, the reason why I bring up drinkingbros.com, not only for the merch, but this is also the submission for drinking bro of the week. Click it, type it out, and it'll come directly to our email. I'll read it live on air. This one is submitted by Michael Yelling from Ohio. He's been a listener for eight years. He's nominating William Danielson, who is deceased. He was an army staff sergeant airborne ranger of the second battalion, 75th Rangers. He also fought cancer for three years and finally lost his battle on July 2nd, 2024. He loved his country and he was proud to be an American. I would be very honored and proud if you would announce him and I'm proud of you guys for still being live every day and what you believe in, America forever. Cheers. Thank you very much, Michael Yelling, and I'm sorry to hear about your bunny there. Cancer sucks, my man. And a lot of us are going through it with different family members. Appreciate you tuning in, kids. I'll be watching Biden step down tonight like the rest of you. Go to iTunes, rate the show a five star and leave a quick review. Also head on over to Spotify. It's just a five star. You can walk away. Really is all the fucking advertisers care about. I promise you. It helps us to do it, okay? When we get to 10,000, I'll shut the fuck up forever. For Anthony Anthony. All the way, I'm Ross Patterson. This is Drinking Bro's podcast. Good night everyone. (rock music) (rock music) (rock music) (rock music) (rock music) (rock music) (upbeat music)
