Live from our studios in Austin, Texas, this is "Drinking Brows Fate News" with Ross Patterson, Dan Hollowan, Papa G with the traffic. How you feel? Good. Yeah? Welcome to "Drinking Brows Fate News" every body bringing you the realest, fakest news of the week. I already popped off twice this morning actually. Did you? Yeah. This Texas weather, when it rains like this, for whatever reason, eyes watering, itching all the things. Everything here is poison. Yeah. This fucking state sucks. Yeah, it's what it feels like. Yeah. Well, we'll be heading to another state tonight. Thankfully, we're heading to Michigan. Got a live show with the Brown Jug on campus at Ann Arbor tomorrow for the University of Michigan versus the University of Texas game here. Heart AF Seltzer is now live in Michigan. I'll read off the stores, the first ones to open. Brown Jug obviously got the unique flavors coming out of there. It's the blueberry. It's the amazing blueberry flavors, which is lemon with a hint of blueberries in there. And a hint of lemon, a lot of blueberries. And then we got the blue leprechaun. That's open for business, Valiance, Bar and Grill in Michigan, Jack's fresh market in Metamine. I don't know where that's at, but I love it. Megabev in Portage, Megabev in Ostimo, Stateline, Licker, Megabev in Beckley, Lafayette, Paul Party Store. That's Rage, Jot Licker, Johnas Market in Taylor, and then Angelo's Party Store in Coloma. Those are the first stores and then the rest of the state will slowly open as the year goes on, obviously, but we'll be there, we'll be there tonight. That's our playing goes down. That's our playing goes down. God willing. Yeah. I text, we get some actors on the show tomorrow, some celebrities on the show tomorrow. I text them their tickets and he goes, hey, why are you doing this? Aren't we all walking in together and I go, if I die in the plane crash, I want you guys to have a good time at the game. Okay. Don't think that I'm just holding your tickets and I'm not going to give them to you. Like, yeah, dude, if the plane goes down, the party goes on. Show goes on kids. You know the rules here. All right. Show goes on unless they pull us off the flight for being Russian assets, Anthony. What the fuck is happening here? Yeah. It's a good question. Look, I've gotten a lot of DMs because obviously you've been on Timpool. We've had Dave Rubin on the show, but the DOJ has indicted, is this Russia TV? What's what's RT again? Russia today, I believe is what RT stands for and it's Russian state media. It is just RT now. I guess they're rebranded. Oh, they rebranded. That's what it means. Okay. It means Russia today. So. And then tenant media, which we know. So tenant media, I know the unnamed Tennessee based company that the Justice Department alleges was being funded by Russian operatives, working as part of a Kremlin orchestrated influence operation targeting the 2024 US election is tenant media, which is linked to right-wing commentators with millions of subscribers on YouTube and other social media platforms according to a US official briefed on the matter. The indictment unsealed in New York's southern district accuses two employees of RT. The Kremlin's media arm of funneling nearly $10 million to an unidentified company described only as company one in court documents. CNN has independently confirmed that company one is tenant media, which is a platform for independent content creators, is self-described as a network of heterodox. Yeah. What the fuck does that mean? Oh my God. Come on, man. What is it? Like based, not woke, normal people. We're not doing that. That's what they call this. We're not. We're not using fancy words for unwoke or whatever the fuck it is. It just means orthodox beliefs. Boo. Simplify it. What he uses that word in the real world for Christ's sake. Conservative. There we go. Conservative commentators focus on Western political and cultural issues. According to the websites, the goal of the operation, according to prosecutors, was to fuel pro-Russia narratives in part by pushing content news articles favoring Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and others who deem the Kremlin to be friendlier to its interests. Um, look, the guys who are in this, the key players will run through them here are Lauren Chen from tenant Dave Rubin, who's been on this show, Tim Poole, Dan has been on this show and several others who are not all MAGA people exactly, but that didn't stop the press from trying to link this to Trump. So what's the real fucking story here? The real story is that it looks like from the indictment and who knows how much of this is even real. I talked to some people at the FBI about it and they said it's this case will never go anywhere. Like, it's un-prosecutable to nonsense because if you look back just a couple of months ago with the interactions that Joe and Hunter Biden had with foreign agents, they could have been charged under the Foreign Registration Act as well. It's not going to happen. So let's start there. Well, here's what I find odd about it and forgive me for interrupting you, but two days before this happened, the government comes out and it was Biden himself and says, hey, there's interference from Russia in the 2024 election. Two days later, we have this with some of the top right-wing conservative podcasters in the world here. It all seems like very odd timing less than 60 days from the election. Yeah. Yeah. Excuse me, somebody was wiring money to tenant media, which is Lauren Chen and her husband. She seems to be the only person that's actually guilty of anything according to the indictment anyways. I don't know if she's actually guilty of anything at all, but according to the indictment, she would have taken money from RT media, which is considered state-run media, but I don't know how that works, like CNN state-run media do, right? Yeah. It's just that we've declared it state-run media in Russia, so maybe that's something. Ten million bucks, so far as we can tell, maybe it's more, but 10 prominent conservative influencers, Benny Johnson. Big following. Dave. Tempool, Lauren Southern or some shit like that, I think her name is. Taryn Southern. What? My name is Taryn Southern. No. Okay. I know what Taryn Southern. I don't know who that is. Okay. Tempool, Dave Rubin, and obviously Chen herself. Now again, most of those people aren't even MAGA, like Tempool's not a Trump guy. He's not even a conservative, frankly. He's just a fucking, I don't know what he believes, frankly, I think it's all for show. But Rubin, definitely not a Trump guy, he's the Santa's guy, was super anti-Trump during the primary season. Lauren Chin has been anti-Trump for the past year or so because of his stance on abortion and shit like that. So it's kind of weird that they tried to loop this back around a Trump. That's what it's all about, by the way, is just that. By the way, I think this might be the most important part of this story. Here are the talking points. They were inside the indictment. Here are the talking points that whomever it was that was paying tenant media asked to be repeated. Encroachment on universal, we are encroaching on universal poverty in America. There's record inflation, there's been a halting of economic growth, unaffordable prices for food and essential goods. What does that have to do with Russia? This is all happening in the United States of America. Okay, find me where the lie is. I can. Here's the next one. Risk of job loss for white Americans. I've never seen any of these people talk about any of this stuff, but what does that mean exactly? I mean, that's just an immigration talking point. I don't know about that. That's in regards to immigration, yes. Privileges for people of color, perverts, and the disabled. Okay. What am I missing here? Constant lies are the democratic administration about the real situation in the country. Yep. We've said the same thing on it. All those things we've said on this show. Threat of crime coming from people of color and immigrants, especially new ones from Ukraine. Okay, we've said that too. Yep. Are we Russian assets? We might be overspending on foreign policy at the expense of interest of white US citizens. I don't know what that means, but definitely we've spent too much money overseas. Constant lies to the voters of the Democratic Party, like Joe Biden is sharp as a tack. Or the laptop isn't real? Yeah. Okay. Guilty. America is suffering a defeat in Ukraine despite Biden's best efforts. We're being drawn into a war. Our guys will die in Ukraine. Yeah. It's like, yeah, we believe that about Ukraine and about Israel. Yep. And this has been a talking point amongst real conservative and libertarian people since all this shit kicked off, since Russia originally kicked off, Russia, Ukraine, and since October last year, like this is not our business. That's just a, that's non-interventionalism. That's not Russian. Russian, you can't say that there's a non-interventionalist talking point that's pro-Russia because they are literally intervening all over the place right now, right? It doesn't make any sense. But yeah, it's, none of that stuff is untrue, which makes it really interesting. Like we find ourselves in a very interesting position. If the money did indeed come from Russian state run media, Lauren Chen should go to jail probably, right? For taking money from a foreign government for to influence a political election. And then once you're done arresting her and the, and the RT media people who allegedly violated the, the Foreign Registration Act, go to APAC and arrest every motherfucker that works there. Yup. Arrest every congressman or senator that took fucking money from them. Every one of them. Go to jail. Yeah. If we're going to play this game, let's fucking play this game. Well, you know where else you can play this game? Hollywood. Yeah. Hollywood is funded by China. Um, if we're doing communist things that are funded by everything else, uh, most of the movies, independent films, uh, a lot of that funding came from Saudi Arabia, uh, who was it? Uh, who was Al Gore with Al Jazeera? Al Jazeera. Yeah. So what the fuck are we doing here? And unless you're inserting stories in there, because they could have a share of this company. Uh, I don't know about any of that, but the only thing is, is pretty clear that Chen was the access point for this. I don't think that, but everybody's statements confirm that is nobody knew except for her. The only thing I really saw in the indictment was there was one story. I mean, like truly I read through it and it was like, what, what did they tell him to say? And the one, the only thing I really saw that was like, can't agree a little egregious was, um, they wanted, uh, to push the narrative off of that Isis, um, uh, terror attack in Moscow and they wanted to push the narrative on to like how it was America and Ukraine's fault. And they think they said in the indictment, like it's quoted from a text or discord or whatever. Uh, the, it's fake news. Isis didn't take credit for it. Like have someone talk about how this is really Ukraine's fault and by extension, America's fault. Well, it was, right? With that pipeline. Is that what you're talking about? No, there was an attack in Moscow and it was by Isis. They just wanted to lay the blame off on the US and Ukraine for propaganda reasons. Got you. Um, because here's the wild, you know, like, like, like exactly how the CIA blew up Nord Stream two. Yeah. And then tried to lay it off on somebody else. Correct. Yeah. Fuck game. We play in here. And here's the wildest part about this. I don't know if you guys caught this a couple of hours ago, but, uh, Vladimir Putin actually went on television today and endorsed Kamala Harris for president of the United States. I think he's just trolling. He also said in this press conference that he also pervert Biden as president before. Uh, and now the FBI is saying a Putin is, is trying to interfere with Trump. Does that doesn't help fucking Harris that it's like, dude, got the endorsement from Vladimir Putin. Do you put that in your commercial tonight before the Chiefs game? Yeah. Why not? I mean, at this point, I mean, uh, a Solomon Lydon, uh, uh, endorsed Obama. Right. Oh, really? Yeah. I didn't know that. Good for him. Who cares? Doesn't mean anything. I don't know. I don't think been a lot. I don't think, I think Obama's a fucking terrorist because of that. Me neither. Uh, Bob, open up your, uh, Twitter and then pull up that DM that I just sent you right here. Play this clip, um, from Putin, because I, I haven't seen it. I'm obviously just reading here of what he said in the interview. You, this would have been a perfect time to play that Meek Mill audio by the bottom. You really are slacking these days. It was, it used to be Joe Biden, but now he's not participating in the election campaign and he recommended to all his allies to, um, support, uh, Miss Harris. So that is what we are going to do. So it was, well, he said that we should, that is why we should also do that. Women are clapping over in Russia and shit? Are they allowed? Well, she's laughing, she's laughing, she's laughing so fascinating. It means that everything is good and every, if everything is good. It means that it's a party of joy. Look at, he's getting all in on this. Yeah, that is, uh, by the way, it's really funny. The Soviets are the best at information operations of any country that's ever existed. Including us. Yes. Um, and he's, that's what he's doing right now. Every, keep in mind that he was a KGB intelligence colonel. He was operational. He was a fucking, uh, uh, not official cover, uh, dude cruising around Europe, murdering people for years running fucking information operations. He's one of the best in the world at it. That's why he's the fucking, that's why he's been in charge way longer than you're supposed to be. And Bob, the reason why I'm saying this specific video, because this is where this, uh, aired today, pop it up one more time so the audience can see it. You don't have to play it. There it is in the corner right there. RT. Yeah. That's his company. Basically. RT. So he went on television the day after all this happened and said I'm endorsing Kamala Harris for president and I love Joe Biden in the last election. What do you say now? This is trending number one in the world right now. And people are having a fucking field day with this, obviously. What does who say? Um, what, no, I mean, what do you say about it? I thought this story now of like, hey, you're going after the Trump people, but like he endorses democratic presidents. If you believe this, I personally think this is a troll and I think it's really funny, especially the dig at her laugh in this interview where you're like, okay, he's, he's in on the fucking gig here. And yeah, maybe we're all fucking Russian assets. I don't know. Because everything you talked about, besides, besides the last one, I think we've said on this show. So we're just not getting money from Russia from it. That's it. I don't know how that would work. Uh, would you just go to Lauren Chin, I guess, and find out. Yeah. Yeah. Slide some cash on down here. Uh, what was the total bomb? There still was like a hundred thousand one. It said one of the people was getting $400,000 a month for four videos a week, plus a hundred case signing bonus, um, and another got a hundred K per video. Um, I think the total was a couple, like 10 or 15 million. No, I have something like that. The whole total wasn't that much, but it wasn't, I don't think it was that big of a stable of people either. Okay. But to be fair, the people you've mentioned have massive following, so it's not terribly far off from what their advertising rates are probably, uh, and I know it sounds wild at home, but, uh, go ahead and check out Rogan's if you want to see who's really running shit. Holy shit. Um, so yeah, I'm with you. I think this story right now is to kind of shut these guys the fuck up for a little bit or hopefully six days before the, the election. That's not going to work. Nobody, nobody, nobody believes in either shit. I don't think so. Um, and then homeboy coming out today, saying he supports Kamala Harris because he loves your laugh and, uh, and it's just a, it's a party of joy. That'd be like saying you're a Clippers fan because of Kawhi Leonard's laugh. I love Kawhi's laugh, this is my favorite part. It's my favorite part. Next up, what do we got here? The FBI does it again. The FBI has confirmed that the alleged shooter, uh, who killed two students and two teachers and wounded nine others at, uh, Georgia high school Wednesday has been on its radar, uh, as a possible threat since May of 2023, uh, in a joint statement, the FBI's Atlanta field office in Jackson County sheriff's office and the agency's national threat operations center received an anonymous tip about threats posted online regarding a possible school shooting, uh, last year in May of 2023, the agency said that the threats contained images of guns and within 24 hours of receiving the anonymous tips, investigators determined, uh, that the threats originated in Georgia and the matter was referred to the sheriff's office. The Jackson County sheriff's office located a possible subject, a 13 year old male, uh, and interviewed him and his father, the FBI said the father stated he had, uh, hunting guns in the house, uh, but the subject did not have unsupervised access to them. The agency said that the boy denied making the threats and authorities alerted local schools to monitor the child. At that time, there was no probable cause for arrest or to take any additional law enforcement action on the local, state, or federal levels. The FBI said on Wednesday, authorities identified Colt Gray, now 14 as the shooter who killed two students and two teachers at Appalachia high school. They surrendered to authorities and was taken into custody following the rampage. Uh, what I heard, by the way, is he'll be charged as an adult, um, at 14, uh, as to follow the joint statement, just released the subject referred to the 13 year old is the same subject in custody related to today's shootings, uh, and Appalachia high school. The FBI said, this is another one is another one where somebody was reported. They'd made threats online, had guns in the house, didn't do anything about it. And then a year later, he ends up going back in the school and sheer it up. Yeah. It's usually within a year. Is it really close? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And that was in May 20th, 23. So he made it longer than some of the rest, I guess. Um, yeah, there's, uh, I know it's, it can be hard to believe that things are this weird, I guess, um, that like, no, it, for a reasonable person to think, oh, the FBI is, uh, somehow involved in mass shootings in America, right? I mean, that, well, the government would never do something like that. They would never, for example, uh, create crack cocaine and inject it into the black community in the 1970s. They would never do that. Yeah. Um, they would never give a bunch of black people syphilis and let their brains rot so they could study them. They'd never do anything like that. Um, they would never run a program where they dosed children up with LSD for years at a time and then send them out into the world to become, uh, pipe bombers or blow up federal buildings. Yeah. For example, right? They would never do that. They would never kill our own president. Well, they did all of those things. Mm hmm. They did every single, every single one of those things. So if you're still out there and you don't believe that you think it's a coincidence that the FBI has been in contact with every fucking mass shooter sometime in the last two years before they do the shooting, then you need to wake the fuck up because they, there's, there's a minimum culpability, if not guidance from these assholes. Thomas Crookes shot at the same fucking range that the Department of Homeland Security people shot at. He tried his, his, a phone traveled to his home and then to, uh, uh, a building, a coffee shop right next door to FBI in fucking, uh, Philly. It's like, how many times is this shit going to have to happen before you wake up and realize that nobody that's wearing that uniform, right, with a badge on their chest and nobody that's fucking, uh, working for the federal government and any capacity can really be trusted, even if it's your friend. Yeah. I mean, with this story in particular, uh, I know where this is in Georgia and, uh, I actually knew somebody I went to high school with used to teach, uh, out there and nice area. Um, it's not like this is some crazy fucking unhinged high school or anything like that. Uh, what I found really, really odd about this is, um, they released a statement 24 hours later, the FBI. So if you go Bob on Twitter, um, I think it was the Georgia FBI, uh, cause there's different divisions in every state, which I didn't know, by the way, uh, Anthony, is there a division of the FBI in every state? Um, there's a field office. GBI is different than FBI. The GBI is, is state police. Okay. Um, that's like DPS here in Texas. So type in, uh, Georgia FBI, cause they, they, they released a statement, uh, on it. No, go on a Twitter and, uh, Yeah, this is from the, this is the Georgia bureau investigation. Here's our statement on the shooting. No, no, no, no, not down. It was a, it's a whole card GBI or FBI FBI, it's a whole goddamn card that they released and it said Georgia FBI at the top of it, um, because this, No, there's not divisions. There's field offices in every state and sit in most major cities as well, but no, there's not. So here's where this came from. And this is FBI Atlanta. Um, so this is the statement that I got last night when I read it. And what, what is FBI Atlanta then? Is there an FBI? It's the field office in Atlanta. Okay. So there is one in every single state. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. And then I would say probably in every major city as well and some not so major cities. Okay. And with that, this is what I read last night bomb and this is what's, they released on all the national news outlets, even our local news, as I saw it on a Austin's news last night. This is FBI Atlanta responded earlier today to the Appalachian high school students. It's like, okay, cool, man. So you're there, you're able to put this out within 24 hours. Somebody was obviously going to say something. This is the fastest release of a, of a school shooting that we've ever seen regarding who it was, the FBI knowing who it was, and then a statement coming out because they fucking knew that somebody was going to get ahold of this within 48 hours and run with this story. So they got ahead of it, which still doesn't do you any fucking good here, but the timing of it is very, very curious because we've never gotten a release this quickly on something like this. Even the fucking dude who shot Trump in the face, we didn't find out anything about that dude for a while. Well, I mean, people are going to bitch if the information comes too fast or comes too slow. I don't know if you should get pigeonholed on that one too much. I guess it's weird, but they've already been in contact with the dude and they had police reports already. And the kid actually didn't die, which makes it easier to interrogate him afterwards. You can't interrogate dead people. Almost all of these shooters either kill themselves or they get killed by the police. He's still alive. So that makes it a lot easier to identify who he is, where he came from, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? So we'll see, we'll see how that plays out. The important part to remember is that the federal government shouldn't exist. That's your takeaway from this right now? Yes. As far as this kid, how are you 14 years old in high school too? That seems weird to me. I was. What are you talking about? I was not. 14 in ninth grade. That's normal. I was 15. You're 14 and 15 in ninth grade. No, no shit. Yeah. 14 and 15. Yeah. I guess you're right. Shit, dude. Yeah, you would have turned 15 in February of your freshman year. Fuck, man. Are you shooting guns at that early? I started shooting guns when I was four years old, son. No shit. Yeah. Look at you. Look at you. I didn't start till I think it was 17 or 18. So yeah, man, it's a fucked up story. But again, in my opinion, the FBI doesn't release something this quickly unless they knew people were going to find out that they had already contacted this kid. That's pretty likely. Yeah. I mean, look, it takes some of the smoke off them to put information. One of the things you do in direct response, emergency management for PR, I mean, is inundate people with information. Just keep putting out information, even if it's been all nonsense, that doesn't matter, because people get saturated and then they stop giving the shit. Like, "I can't even read anymore of this. Move on to the next thing." Something shorter, right? Yeah. What you can do if you're trying to cover something up, ironically, is to release like a 35-page fucking explanation for it. People get one page in and they're like, "Oh, man, the game's on. I'm out of here." Yeah. That's how it works these days. So it's smart of them to do that. They know they're fucked up. Oh, yeah. Look, you know, something was wrong and they had to get ahead of it. Everybody's sick in the studio, huh? Who's coughing back there? Is that you, Delco? Yeah. Yeah, you're down too, huh? Yeah. Yeah. He's northern European white dudes were fucked right now. Surprise Bob's not dead. Well, the two guys who don't have beards are fine today. So maybe, maybe shit's just getting caught in your fucking beards, dude. You know? It's not really how that works. Or semen. Yeah, it could be a lot of semen in there. You should lay down. What's it in semen? What's that? Aids. Yeah. What? Both of you guys have AIDS. What did semen come into it? In your beards, dude? Yes, you guys were sucking dicks all day long. You guys both have AIDS and now you're dying live on air. Yeah. That's fine. I wear a mask. When you blow people? Cut, you cut a hole through the mask and then pop the dick in there. Sucking through the mask. It looks like a fucking, what do you call it? What is the? Dental Dam? Dental Dam, yeah. There you go. Yeah. Thanks Bob. There you go. There you go. We have, by the speaking of that, we have Adam and Eve on the show today. We're not there yet, but we'll see if they've got dental dams on the site when we get there. We'll get there.

Gun control activists had sought to debunk the so called good guy with the gun myth and an effort to pass more stringent controls. In one of our nation's most cherished liberties in support of this agenda, the federal government in conjunction with legacy media has sought to suppress the abundance of evidence and support of the truth that armed law abiding citizens are one of the most effective deterrence against public mass casualty attacks. For instance, in 2022, 22 year old Elijah, Dickon, I don't know how to say that. There's a weird J in there and two S is stopped to mass public shooting using his legally carried concealed handgun. Story became an unusual stance instance in which the national media covered most of his heroic action, but an AP headline claim that's rare in US for an active shooter to be stopped by a bystander. Meanwhile, Washington Post headline declared rampage in Indiana as a rare instance of armed civilian ending mass shooting. Same time, Time Magazine published an article politicizing the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, arguing that local law enforcement's controversial response proves that good guys with guns keep failing to stop ending mass shootings. Just to be clear, people that stand in the hallway while children get slaughtered are not good guys. Yeah. I feel that probably doesn't need saying, but maybe it does. And then meanwhile, the CDC, under the Biden administration, has sought to suppress data proving that armed citizens help prevent crime by removing its estimates of defensive gun uses from its website. For almost a decade, the CDC referred a 2013 National Academic of Science report, knowing that people use guns to stop crime anywhere from 64,000 to 3 million times a year. I mean, imagine having a, imagine having a fucking data set that was that disparate. It's somewhere between 64,000 and 3 million. That's a big number. You know what I mean, guys? Like, what the fuck does that mean? These are based on aggregated police reports. So you know exactly what happened, motherfucker. The decision was taken after a gun control activist. He's the founder. I'm not even going to say his name because he's a fucking gay lord. He's the founder of Gun Violence Archive, labeled the CDC to remove, quote, or lobbied, rather, to remove misinformation regarding defensive gun use estimates because of these are cited by gun rights folks to stop gun control legislation. And then after he made a big fuss over the CDC took down those estimates and now listen nothing about it, right? The author of this article, John Lott, actually worked for the DOJ and he discovered that the FBI either missed or misidentified most of the cases of civilians using guns to stop attacks. For example, the FBI continues to report that armed citizens stopped only 14 of 350 active shooter cases that it identified in the 10 years from 2014 to 2023. The crime prevention research center, which he runs, has found many more missed cases and is keeping a more updated list. So out of the 515 active shooter incidents from 2014 to 2023, 10 year period, armed citizens stopped 180 of them. And who knows how many lives are saved there. It even excluded 27 cases where citizens with guns stopped an attacker before it could fire a shot. So that doesn't even count as 27 more. That's something like when, so yeah, the CPRC estimates that law-abiding citizens with guns have stopped over 35% of active shootings over the last decade and about 40% in the last five years. It's eight times higher than what the FBI says. So this is an organization that is supposed to be, that's supposed to work for us. Like their job at the FBI is to make America safer, that's supposed to be the job. And they're lying about stuff so they can take guns away from you. That's it. That's all that is. You can't, this is the one of the final steps in the erosion of our epistemology. But there's no fact of data set anymore, there's no expert anymore, doesn't exist. You can't trust anything, any of these fucking people tell you. It started a long time ago with the federal reserve and changing the way American school system work, then to the 50s with the food pyramid and shit like that, and it's just been constant bullshit for years from these motherfuckers, lying about COVID, lying about vaccines, everything, lying about everything, they've never been, so you can't, it's a precarious situation because we need experts and we need to be able to appeal to experts in times where we need expert information and we can no longer do that. The problem is, though, anybody can hire their own expert to give them the exact opinion that they want to hear. You can always manipulate a set of numbers to the public to make it seem like it's whatever your narrative is on, you know, whatever side you're on regarding this issue. You can do it. You can look at these numbers and excuse the race, the gender, all this other shit to meet up with what it actually is. I think the problem is if you actually reported what it was, that answer is unsatisfactory to people. The latest one that I saw was regarding race. Did you see that one in gun violence? What, no, I mean, I've seen a lot of it, but... What race is most responsible for... Black men, yes. I think about state, account for about 65% of gun violence. Correct. By being 6.5% of the population. Yeah. And that's a number that's been hidden forever. You can't find that anywhere because they don't want you to. You know it. Other people who choose to look for it know it, but the media is not going to report on it. And the CDC, you can't trust them for anything, so it doesn't really matter anyways. Why are they in control of gun numbers? The CDC. That doesn't make sense. Because they declared gun violence, health risk or whatever the fuck. You don't remember that? No. Earlier this year, yeah. Oh, so it falls underneath their watch now? Yeah, it's a pandemic now. Gun violence is. Is that real? Yeah. I didn't know that. It's like, well, people in the suburbs aren't murdering each other in record numbers. So maybe it's not an epidemic or a pandemic or any of that shit. Maybe it's a culture problem. Yeah. That doesn't make sense to me. So they're the ones that are doing this? Like you have to believe that... This is the story. People are disenfranchised, displaced in poverty, so they're going to do more crime. Okay, fair enough. They're going to steal for food, right? Fair enough. Or steal for money for food, whatever. That's what AOC says. I get it. That's, to some degree, that's tracked historically. Why are five dudes in a car shooting 10 other dudes in a car and catching five people in the background with strays and how exactly does that relate to food, right? Fuck off. Almost all of the quote-unquote mass shootings that happen are gang violence, like almost all of them. It's so fucking stupid the way that we can't talk about actual data. It blows my fucking mind. But the other part that's missing from this as far as actual data is concerned is how many police officers refuse to go into some of these areas, and not that I blame them. Who's going to go around the south side of Chicago? Hey, we got gunshots. Cool, man. That's every hour on the hour. I'm not showing up for this fucking bullshit. Why everyone risk it at that point? So there's a lot that are not even in that data, and we didn't fucking know about. So yeah, man, you can manipulate this to however you want to. I just don't understand why the CDC is in charge of this. Also most of those mass shootings are done with handguns too. Right. Almost all of them. Like 70%. Yeah. The only, like I say only it's a tragedy when anybody gets murdered for no fucking reason, but this isn't just murder. All homicides to include suicide and being shot by police or lawful interdiction, right? It less than 300 people every year get killed with rifles. In the United States? Yeah. And out of 330 million? I mean, you kind of can't kill yourself with a rifle, right? I mean, it's a bitch. Not with that attitude. Yeah, Bob. Do better. Look, I'll take a toe job any day. But I'm just saying that there's easier ways. Yeah. We'll have Johnny Mitchell back on the show to discuss whether or not to kill yourself. We'll kill Cobania and see what happens over there. But yeah, this is fucking wild that they're actually in charge of this now because thank God they should be, you know, they should be.

What's up, Hunter Biden's back on trial by the way, before we move on from the gun thing, you're going to hear a lot from leftists about guns in the next week or two before they forget about this 60 days. Just keep in mind that Ricky Pearsall remember him. He's the 49ers first round draft pick, yeah, third round, third round, yeah, he's a wide receiver. And shot the chest in San Francisco by a guy who was just released three days prior for a gun charge. They don't give a fuck about guns or gun violence. They don't care about it. Anybody getting hurt. They don't actually give a fuck. All they want to do is fucking disarm you. That's it. Fuck you. You'll never get my guns. You'll get the bullets before you ever get the guns. I promise you that. And the the Ricky Pearsall thing is super interesting because California notoriously supposed to be super strict on gun laws. They weren't in this case. So Chicago. Yeah. They let this kid go and and then Homeboy got shot in the chest. Luckily he's fine. And he was actually working out in the facility two days later. So good for him. Next up is Hunter Biden trial started jury selection and Hunter Biden's criminal tax trial stemming from special counsel David Weiss's years long investigation into the first sun begins Thursday in California. As you'll recall, this is the second trial that he'll be a part of United States district court for the central district of California's judge Mark Scarsy was presiding over the trial. Biden's tax trial was set to begin in June, but his attorneys requested that it be delayed until September and Scarsy approved that request. Weiss charged Hunter Biden with three felonies and six misdemeanors concerning 1.4 million in owed taxes that have since been paid because of his artwork. Sure. Yeah. He's a really good artist. Yeah. Him and George W. Bush. Very great artists. Bob, pull up a bush painting and show us. Okay. Don't act like we wouldn't pay to hang a Hunter Biden painting in the studio. If there's crack on it. Yeah, dude. If there if he puts crack inside the painting, let's go. I've actually got a Hunter Biden design coming soon and it's going to be one of the best things we've ever published for t-shirts. Yep. Okay. Biden's tax trial is shit. That's going to be kicking off here pretty shortly, I guess, in the indictment Weiss alleges that Biden engaged in a four year scheme to not pay at least 1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes. He owed for tax years 2016 through 2019 from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15 2020, we got some breaking news here. Whoa. Hunter is changing his plea to guilty. Right now? Yeah. His attorney said Thursday in federal court that Biden intends to switch his plea and intends to plead guilty. He initially pleaded not guilty. Federal prosecutor Leo Wise said this is the first we're hearing about it. Oh, shit. A source familiar with the special counsel's team told Fox News Digital this is not a done deal and that it's currently just an offer the defense put on the table. It wouldn't be a bad idea to take a plea deal now and then get pardoned by your dad on the way out. Yeah. That'd be the easiest. What happens in that? Forgive me. I'm going to look this up. I don't know what the deal they offered the prosecutor is. Like some time, some amount of money or I don't know, depends. Hang on. So, according to the posts here, New York Post says there is a twist. A hundred Biden plans to plead guilty in federal tax evasion trial. A bombshell decision, his lawyers announced Thursday morning, just before this jury's selection was about to happen. He intends to change his plea and Lowell made the shock disclosure that his client planned to take the rare Alfred plea. I don't know what that means. It says it's a legal maneuver where a person pleads guilty while maintaining innocence. It's 15 minutes after proceedings. No, Lowell Contendre, I believe, is the Latin for that. They're saying prosecutors were completely blindsided and surprised. This is the first we've heard of this. The lawyer responded to and they told everybody to come back at 11 a.m. to proceed with the guilty plea. Jury's selection was supposed to begin and Biden's son arrived in court hand in hand with his wife, Melissa Cohen. Good for him. He was facing his second trial here. If convicted in this second trial, he would have faced 17 years behind bars. What's the guilty plea and then what does that come with, I guess? I don't know, to be honest. An admission of guilt, it's no look, Contendre is like, if that's what they're talking about is you don't contest the charge, but you don't admit that you're guilty either. There's no allocution or any of that bullshit required. I don't know, man. I don't know. That's weird. I mean, he's going to ask for less time to the maximum, I would imagine, and hope he gets a pardon on the way out. I don't really know. It's a surprising move. I mean, it tells you that they know they're fucking guilty on all of it. You would never know, you would never do this in a million years, and that is why the prosecutors are like, hey, we need a fucking sec here. We were not prepared for this to happen. So what's the plea? And the other thing to do is if you're that surprised, did you not offer this plea before then? Yeah. I don't know. Maybe something changed. Maybe during discovery, because it was postponed. I think this is supposed to go down back in like May or some shit. They postponed it to September. Maybe during the discovery, going through all the discovery, they were like, oh shit. Whatever defense we had planned isn't going to work, so we better start playing ball here. Okay. So there was a Los Angeles trial lawyer here who had it with the post, Washington Post said, with this plea, you are not admitting guilt, but you admit the government can prove the charges against you, which is weird to me. Okay. So how is that? How are you not guilty if you admit that the government can prove the charges against you? That seems just like guilt all the way around. This former prosecutor also explained that the prosecutors don't often offer such a plea unless they are eager to resolve a case. I don't know that they are in this. Like, why would you be? Well, prosecutors would be because they work for the Biden administration. What do you trust the Department of Justice to do the right thing now? Not that, but usually prosecutors in a high-profile case like this are looking to move up. Like they want to get this guilty plea on their own in a trial so they can either run for office or get more money at a private firm or whatever it is. They went on to say it's not standard at all and it is not something that is typically offered. So in this case, they're saying prosecutors weren't aware of the move and then no agreement has been struck and Hunter would need to plead guilty to the whole indictment instead of typically plea agreements where defendant will only admit to part of the charges they would face. And then they're also saying that it could absolutely fall apart, but I'm with you. I think your dad's out of there. He's going to pardon you on the way out, why sit in court all this time? I mean, if you could call your dad and just say, hey, should I just plead guilty because you're going to pardon me and let's just get this over with? Yeah. Because he's definitely out of there now. Whereas back in the day when this first went on, he was running for a second term so you couldn't say that anymore. And now that he's not even anywhere near the White House at all, fuck it. Who gives a shit? I guess. He's just going to pardon him and that's it. Imagine, so the Alfred Defense, Alfred Defense, or Alfred plea, you actually plead guilty. You know the contender, you don't plead guilty, but the result is essentially the same. You plead guilty in the Alfred plea, but you don't admit you did anything wrong, which is I don't even know what the fuck the purpose of that is, to be honest. I don't either. I don't know. I don't know enough about the law, though. I don't care. Yeah. I don't care about 100 Biden, but it's funny. I'd like to hang out with him probably, but same. I don't agree with going after presidents, kids and all that other shit. Like, it's just me or presidents themselves, speaking of going after presidents, kids, what house do you think Baron Trump is rushing at NYU? At NYU? He just started his fresh there and I didn't even know they had fraternities. It's like they have like frat floors. Oh, got you. In the dorms? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's not. Boo. I was a little disappointed with this choice of college. He went to NYU. Yeah, yeah, which is a great school, certainly, but like, I just kind of want Baron to go rage. Well, he's a New Yorker. I mean, like he was, he was grew up in New York his entire life, I guess, but they got Capasig, Lambda Kai. I was Capasig. Yes. Capasig? There is a Capasig. No, I know. What did Baron choose? Do we know? We don't know. Damn, dude. He's in the middle of Rush right now. Rush. That's a big get right there. That's a huge get. Yeah, sure is. Yeah, you'll probably get a new house or at least updates. Can you imagine? Yeah, you go from a frat floor to a frat brownstone. Fuck. That would, that would rock on Bleaker Street like a 30 million dollar mansion. Oh, put a gimme a fucking brownstone on Bleaker and let's fucking rage, dude. Dude, fucking Russia ZBT and then they're just going to be like, Oh, no. Was any bagel throwers? He's in with those real. Yeah, he's not doing that. He's not, he's not joining the zany bagel throwers for Christ's sakes. Baron those Russian. I like it. I think he'll fucking run one day. I really do. I think he's got the origin story that we all need and I think Baron Trump will be president one day. Obviously, after Donald serves his second term. But yeah, with the 100 Biden shit, like for real, I'm with you. I don't care about this. I don't, I really don't give a shit about going after presidents, kids and everything else and we all know you're feeling on guns and paying money to the government as far as taxes go. So it's like, yeah, dude, I, none of this shit really matters to me. If he fucking shot up a place or did something fucked up or touch kids, absolutely throw him away. But I, this is, I don't fucking care about this shit. And we all know what it is. Pardon's coming. He doesn't want to sit in trial. He's got, he's got crack to smoke. You can't sit in a courtroom high on crack every day. That's not a fun place to be. You want to be out and about live in your life, dude. He wants to be back on the road with prostitutes, speaking of prostitutes. Where do you think he should go for some sex toys with these prostitutes? Adam and Eve.com.

Uh, Bob, I saw a painting out of the back of my, uh, thing here. What is this? Never mind paying. No, this is a George Bush paint. Good. Stop it. That looks like a fucking child. Painted. This is George Bush. This is George Bush. Shower self portrait. Stop. That's him. Yeah, he painted this. And he sold it. Uh, I don't know if it's for his personal collection or not. I did not want to see George Bush in the shower today. It's a great piece. It's a great piece. Is it? Is it a great piece? Yeah. He's got a great piece on him. Well, I don't know what his hog looks like, but it's, uh, it's not a great portrait. You're talking about dub? Yeah. Why? What, what would make you think he's got a nice hog? I mean, he does have a lot of confidence, but he grew up rich. He grew up rich though. Yeah. When you're rich, you're confident already. His dad was, his dad was the fucking director of the CIA, that, that'll, yeah, you can buy your way out of your cock size problems there. Um, and is this in the back? Is this him in the back? This is a little sexy Snapchat painting him, him in the, him in the bass, a little feet in the bath. His hog just off screen. Dude. Why would he? That's too. Or is this just like part of his personal collection? I think he's part of his collection. I mean, this went viral years ago. God damn it, man. I just didn't pay attention to this shit, you know, zero interest to have this hanging above my mantle and my, my house gather the kids around. Oh, we got a new piece to put up. Maybe if his hog was in it, I would buy it. Yeah. If he was, uh, if his dick was just floating in front of him right there, like the movie Anaconda, let's go. But instead, this is a hogless George W. Bush in the, in the bathtub, gross. The tub itself doesn't even look that nice, you know? It doesn't. Yeah. I wonder if this is maybe a vacation home or some like small Texas motel that he decided to paint it in a red roof in where he just popped it on. I was just like, you know what? Time to paint. Time to paint. I've had a couple drinks. I'm going to pull over and I'm just going to hop in the bathtub at a red roof in and paint myself in there. Jesus Christ. I didn't need to see any of that today, but that's worse than the Meek Mill audio. That's a lie. Okay, that's a lie, but it's, it's close. It's close. Next up, government shutdown majority leader Chuck Schumer, the D and NY does not appear to be budging on a recent demand from conservative Republicans to include a Trump backed voting bill in a must pass stop gap spending bill at the end of the month. As we have said each time we've had a CR continuing resolution, okay? The only way to get things done is in a bipartisan way. And that is what has happened every single time Schumer told Fox News in his statements. The measures inclusion would be a non starter for Democrats, House Speaker Mike Johnson rolled out a plan for a six month spending patch called a continuing resolution on a lawmaker only conference called Tuesday morning. Three sources familiar with the call said that it would keep current fiscal year spending levels steady through March and would also include the safeguard American voter eligibility or the Save Act GOP bill mandating proof of citizenship for voter registration. Spending a spending deal is necessary to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the month. And the inclusion of the Save Act in that deal has been pushed by several conservative Republican members of the House and Senate this week, leading up to Congress has returned from the August recess. All right. So first things first, I'm not a fan of any fucking bills jamming in 90 other fucking things. If we're talking about just the budget for the country itself, it should be about just the budget of the United States. I like this Save Act. And I think this should be passed. However, it should be separate. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of when the Democrats did it either with the fucking border bill where they're like, Oh, yeah, but you got to put in fucking funding for Ukraine and Israel and then let in five million illegals a year and all that other shit. And I'm not a fan of this either. Like these should all be separate in my opinion. Um, no, you think the Save Act should be part of the budget? I think if the option is to, to either secure our elections or shut down the government, there's a very clear choice there. I don't give a shit how they do it. For me personally, I want to see different bills laid out so that you're all not jammed into one thing. Now, on the Democratic side, saying that they don't want the Save Act doesn't make any fucking sense to me. Um, well, you know why they don't, I know, I know why they want to cheat in this election, but saying it out loud, like for Chuck Schumer, why? What is it? What does that matter to you? I guess. Uh, but for me personally, the way I wish governor operated was all these bills would be separate, but we'll never fucking get that. And all these goddamn things, there's going to be 80 other things jammed in there, including what was the last one we read on the show? I think it was the last spending budget, right? Um, wasn't there some shit for like a new Hampshire high school that was like very specific in there for like an art program or something like that, which is fine. Uh, big fan of the arts, obviously we do it for a living, but uh, that one particular high school in fucking New Hampshire was fucking weird. Um, so yeah, I look, shut down the government. I think we're fine with it. Yeah. Well, I mean, so the biggest fallout for government shutdown one, there's three million federal employees. Okay. Fuck them. Yeah, like go find a real job because that ain't it. Uh, but VA disability, um, if this doesn't get done, uh, people are going to get their VA disability payments on October 1st, that's what I've heard from the VA. And that's not great. Nope. That'll, it's, it'll, I mean, and it's not great that the federal employees won't get paid either because most of those people live paycheck to paycheck. Um, like we should definitely be weaning people off the government tit, but you don't wean somebody off by cutting off, yeah, it's like, uh, this is going to have, it would have disastrous results for a lot of people. So I'm going to have a guest on next week on drinking bros, um, buddy of mine, who's, uh, a liaison between Congress and the VA for a while to discuss some options for people if it, if it does indeed happen. Okay. Uh, what's your, what's your numbers here on this happening? Um, zero percent. Yeah. I agree. I, I think, was it three years ago as the last time I remember a government shutdown? Wasn't it over Christmas or something like that? I don't remember. It was like maybe three or four days, but, uh, look, they threaten this every time this comes up. 2019, uh, 18 to 19, it was over Christmas. Yep. And it was over Christmas. So like I, this shit never happens. And then how long, how many days was it? Three or four days? No, it was a month. Oh shit. It was December 22nd to January 25th. Okay. What was the effect of that? Because I don't really remember all that much. You know? - Yeah. - And I think that's the biggest problem here, is if we actually did shut down the government, besides the VA or Social Security, and people getting money, the rest of the country was fine, it seemed like for that month, I don't remember anything crazy going on to you. So, no, I mean, you know, I believe, but this was spurred on maybe, to some degree, but mostly unconnected to that issue, but there are a lot of veteran food drives around then. But those are still going on, like, Scott Davidson from Veteran Success Group does that shit a lot. Not just veteran, but active duty. Like they have basically like a canned food drive for active duty troops on a regular basis. - Okay. - There will be things in place to handle this should it happen. I'll say that, but we gotta get more information here. - Okay.

Next up, Mark Zuckerberg is full of shit. The oversight board for Facebook's parent company declared that the anti-Israel slogan from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, is not hate speech. And that is board made the announcement on its official websites on Wednesday, arguing that certain uses of the slogan can express solidarity with Palestinians without calling for violence or exclusion. Metas board considered three separate uses of the phrase in post on Facebook, and the board noted that none of the posts glorify or even refer to Hamas. In upholding Metas decisions to keep up the contents, the majority of the board notes that the phrase has multiple meetings and is used in people in various ways with different intentions. A minority, however, believes that because the phrase appears in the 2017 Hamas charter and given the October 7th attacks, its use in a post should be presumed to constitute glorification of a designated entity unless there are clear signals of the contrary, the statement continued. What do you think of this? From the river to the sea means that the Palestinian people want to push Israelis either into the Jordan River or into the Metas Iranian sea. Yep. That's what it means. And Metas says this is fine. Yeah. AKA Facebook and Instagram. I mean, everybody calls this their ancestral homeland. It's the most like conquered fucking city in the world. And it's the size of a city. It's not like, it's a metro, it's a metro area. It's not even a real country. None of these places are tiny fucking bullshit. Bob, you guys have done a show on this before. How many different motherfuckers have occupied? Like literally every empire since empires existed have occupied that place. It's essentially with the exception of a quick little like 100 year situation right around the time Jesus was born in member King Herod. Right before King Herod, it was independent for like 100 years. But other than that, I think it we just determined it was like from 700 BC to 1948. Long time. And maybe even longer. Or maybe it was 1700 BC. I mean, it was, they've never owned it. No one's that no one who lives there has ever owned that land. No, no. I'm shocked that they actually made this decision. And to be honest with you, with all the heat that they've took recently and then Zuckerberg statement, what was that a week and a half ago? God, the fucking news cycle was washed out so quickly. Now you almost forget about it that he wrote to Congress that, hey, yeah, we censored, you know, speech during the election and the 100 by laptop story and all this other shit. But then this is the one you're gonna be fine with. - Yeah. - From the river to the sea. - Yeah, and by the way, if I'm a fucking, if I'm an Israeli and somebody walks up to me and says that from the river to the sea, I consider that to be a threat on my life and that person is gonna get fucked up immediately. And this is again, we showed this a couple of weeks ago, but this is what Hitchens warned about with this Islamophobia bullshit. These presidents of universities and now the social media companies are so afraid of cave dwellers that they won't even criticize these motherfuckers for literal terrorism, for threatening to wipe up people out. Like everybody accuses Israel of genocide all the time despite the fact that the Palestinian population continues to grow, odd, how that works. So fucking weird is genocide of all time. But from the river to the sea is literally a call for genocide, literally a call for it. It doesn't say we're gonna send Israel back to, or Israelis back to the US or to this place or that place, to the bottom of the goddamn ocean is what it says, right? And this is what happens when you're a fucking coward, these people are cowards. Like you're literally afraid of terrorists. It's like, what the fuck? - Yeah, and the other story that happened over the last weekend was out of Hollywood because this issue in particular is tearing Hollywood apart right now because Hollywood, a lot of Jews who run Hollywood, I know you've heard that for years, and yeah, there's a lot of them in there and they're great, great at their job for Christ's sakes. But with the latest, after those hostages got killed last weekend, it was a tax thread at one of the biggest agencies out there. And one of them said on there after these six people were executed, the Israeli hostages, he said, fuck the left and let's burn it all down right now. And then others inside the agency who were on this thing were like, oh no, we can't say that. And they're like, fuck you, your client is Pearl Hamas from the river to the sea and all this other bullshit and they're going back and forth. And somebody leaked all the text messages to Variety and the Hollywood Reporter and all that other shit. And it's a strange place to be. If I were meta, I would have stayed out of this. Like, no, keep the phrase off of Facebook. Keep the phrase off of Instagram. You can say you support Palestine, I guess, but that phrase in particular, I'm with you. It means literal genocide and to allow it is fucking nuts to me, but I don't know who's making the decisions there. Is Zuckerberg even in those meetings? - I don't know, man, he's fucking probably drinking water out of one of those things you see in a lizard cage. - Yeah, just. - He's not a real person. - He's had a weird glow up though, you know, growing the hair out and he's got a little beard. Is that not real? - No, that picture was AI. - Shut the fuck up. - Yeah, Bob, pull that picture up. - I hate this one. - Of curly hair, it's fucking zuck. It wasn't real. - That's not real? - No. - Fuck. - Really? - Yeah, that's not him? - Nah, it's not real. - Come on, they did a great job then. - I mean, he could do that. - Son of a bitch, dude. We're there. I was fooled by that forever. I thought that's what he looked like. What does he actually look like right now? Does it look like the same fucking? - No, he kind of looks similar. He just doesn't have facial hair. - All right, so they just added a cool beard to him. He's got one chain on, not two chains on him. - They tanned him up a little bit too, I mean. - Yeah, that's close. He could do that. He owns what, half of Hawaii now? Didn't he buy up half of Hawaii or something bullshit? - Yeah, everyone's building compounds in Hawaii. That's the new sweet thing. - And what was the thing with his wife? Didn't he build her a statue or something? - Yeah, which is. - Let's see that statue real quick. - Kind of a cuck move. I love statues. - No, no, I think you can sit for your wife. - No. - Well, for your wife? - No, she should be something for you. What are you talking about? He's a billionaire. The only reason she gets to do any of the shit that she gets to do is because of him. - We don't know that. - We know that for sure. What the fuck is she contributed except for that ghee? - Fellas, is it gay to love your wife? - No, it's not gay to love your wife. - No, that's not what I'm saying. - Would I build her a statue? - No, because my wife wouldn't like that type of shit. So maybe she likes it. Maybe she's a huge fan of statues. - It's probably some fucking weirdo artists that they love, you know what I mean? - Yeah. - And he commissioned some weirdo statue from their weirdo artists that they both enjoy. And this guy, I hate what? Fucking $10 million to do this shit. - Exactly. And for me, Bob, if I had the choice with this guy, let's say I was friends with that guy and I had $10 million, I build a statue myself. I don't really need my wife to be in it. It's just a nice little reminder to me, the same way that OJ Simpson did it. - Well, that's not surprising. - Well, OJ Simpson did it, okay? Guys, look-- - But you have the portrait that Arod had over his bed as well. - Of the, what was he? - Half centaur. - Yeah, the centaur. - I guess full centaur, but like half you have. - Yeah, but that would love. Do you have that? Can you pull that up for the audience? - What's a half centaur? Is that a quarter horse? - I corrected myself. - He corrected him. - Quarter horse is a centaur. - Quarter horse is a type of horse. - Did anybody break in the bedroom and get it? - I do not believe there is actual-- - Like a real shot of it? - Yeah. - Okay. - This is the best we can imagine. - Oh God. Yes, I would do this in a second. It's so fucking funny. But for the comedy of it, like it's not a serious thing. It's for the comedy of it. - I mean, mine would have the biggest hog you've ever seen. - Oh yeah. And then just going, but straightforward, right? - It would be a series of pictures. Like this would be, put that back up there, Bob. This would be the first one, right? This would be the first picture, and it's a flip book. It's a coffee table book. - Okay. - Looking through it. And then you get to pay like six, and it's just fucking dong after dong. And every subsequent picture just gets closer and closer to the dong. - Sure. - Until it fucking comes on you. - Yeah. - That's not becoming though. The most famous statue in the world has a small dong. - Yeah, that's gay. - That's true, that's gay. I've never been a fan of David in that fucking statue. Now Bob, pull up OJ's statue real quick. That was in his backyard. He donated it, well, not donated. He gifted it to Flavor Flav. So Flavor Flav owns it because of the goldman's we're gonna get this fucking thing. There it is. Oh shit, is he in the photo? (laughs) So this was in his backyard. This was an OJ's backyard. I've never seen the feet. So he was barefoot in it, Bob? Is that right? - Yeah, apparently. - That's weird. That's way weird. - Oh wait, he's holding his cleats in his hand. So maybe he took his cleats off after the game. - Yeah, it's like he's come off the field. Fuck yeah, dude. So that's a great statue right there. Love something like that in the backyard. I think that would be fantastic. That's where my money would go. Not to whatever the fuck that thing was. Zuckerberg's yard. But let's face it, he's not a real person and Facebook isn't real. All of our shit's fucking nuked on there anyway. So who cares? Next up, judge Juan Merchant is sued. America First Legal AFL is suing New York State Supreme Court judge Juan Merchant for refusing to turn over his financial disclosures amid questions about his daughter's work at the Democratic firm. Oh boy. I remember this one. I remember this guy. I AFL sued Merchant who presided over former president Donald Trump's six week long trial in New York versus the state of, I'm sorry, the state of New York versus Trump, stemming from the year's long investigation out of a Manhattan district attorney's Alvin Bragg's office. They also sued the New York State Unified Court Systems Ethics Commission. Trump was found guilty, if you remember, on all 34 accounts and a falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump has appealed the ruling and called for Merchant to overturn the verdict. The lawsuit comes after the AFL sent a demand letter last week from Merchant's financial disclosures, threatening legal action. The AFL previously requested those records in June. Under New York law, judges are required to file annual financial disclosures, which are required to be made available upon request. The law is clear that judicial financial disclosures must be released to the public. AFL Vice President Dan Epstein told Fox News Digital, New York's highest court has stated that such disclosures are necessary for parties before the courts to get a fair shake. Epstein said the public needs to know what judge Merchant was hiding, or even if he failed to file financial disclosures at all. This is especially important given the fact that Merchant appears to have engaged in unlawful campaign contributions on the precipice of criminally sentencing, the former president of the United States, fundamental fairness dictates a resolution of America's first legal lawsuit in its favor. - This is wild, this judge has already been investigated before donating to fucking partisan races and stuff like that, and his daughter literally works. I mean, what the fuck, man? Are you kidding me? Can we not do this for fuck's sake? By the way, the hearing, Jack Smith hearing just ended. - Oh, it did. - Yeah. - Okay. - I don't know what came of it yet, I saw that it ended. But the story is that the judge was flustered and stupid the whole time, like, oh my God. - When you're trying to make up charges though, that's what it is. Now, in regards to this, is that sentencing still going on here on the 18th? 'Cause last time I, somebody talked about this in the show, I think it was September 18th, right? They were supposed to sentence them? - I think it's gonna be, I think it's really likely that it depends on how that debate goes. - That's what I think too. So, we'll see on the 10th, the debates on the 10th, and then the following week later, we'll see what happens there. But yeah, if it is disclosed that some other fucker gave to the Democratic Party, in particular the Biden administration, he's gotta be tossed, right? That's the only resolution in this. And if you're not allowed to donate to presidential candidates anyways, or their parties, as a judge, how are you not disbarred anyways from being a judge? - I don't know, I mean, it's highly unethical the way this guy's behaved, but Fanny Willis, unethical. - Oh, Fanny. - So her daughter got arrested. - Yep. - Oh, I think over the weekend for driving without a license, and she showed up with the dude who she's not supposed to be with. - Yeah, Bob, do you wanna pull that clip up from Twitter, by the way? - Like you did. - The body cam footage just got released last night. - You didn't think somebody was gonna fucking say something, you dumb bitch. - I think she didn't think the body cam footage was gonna be on for some reason. Like, this is wild to me. But yeah, there we go. Pop that up on screen there. So, as you can see from the video, daughter is getting arrested. Fanny shows up with Nathan Wade, and they're not supposed to be having any contact with, so ever. - Couple hours. Bob will come on. - Mom, dad, who's with the one? - Yeah, okay, okay. - All right, nice to meet you. - So, eight, four, five, five, five, five, five. - Nice to meet you. What? - So, apparently, oh, apparently her license is just finished. - First something, she doesn't tell us what, four, four, four, a wire, or where, that's something she's like, it's called D&D. - Right. - Rob Blue, I haven't just yet to speak to you. - Some kind of driving it back, and everyone to four didn't take care of it, right? - That's the best guess. So, she's gone over to Fanny Panjil, if it's right in the Fayetteville Square, it's 145 Johnson Avenue. Normally, I would say a couple hours is the process. It just depends on how busy they are and like that, okay? The driving on the suspended is basically a traffic citation. She's got to have her fingerprints done, a picture taken, then she can make her bond. You can pay cash, use the bondsman, be 10%, whatever. They've got a list of people over there too that you can choose from and use for this. - Let's go to the monitor. - Well, she's got, so the vehicle's registered, excuse me, registered to her. I don't know if it was on a flock hit or if the officer observed some kind of traffic and fraction, it wasn't me, I didn't make truck stop. He's already gone and got hurt going, okay? So, whatever the case may be, when you run the tag, it obviously gives us the vehicle information and a registered owner, and it's already in the system that she has to invalidize yet. So, upon that, we just verify that it is that person driving, or stop the car first at that point. We don't have to notice them, it's-- - I mean, this is not terrible yet. - General consumption of the rich owners. - No, but the reason I wanted to hear this is, it doesn't seem like the officers know who they are, which is wild to me because this case was so famous, and especially in the state of Georgia. They were shaking hands and talking to each other, like nice to meet you, is if you don't know who this is, and the way that he's explaining the charges, to the fucking DA, or is she tossed now? Is she gone? Is she not the district attorney? - I don't know what the fuck's going on there. - I think she's-- - She might not-- - Does an election right now, right? - Coming up? - I'll look it up. She might not know the specifics of traffic law, you know what I mean, just like the ins and outs of that. I mean, whether or not you think she deserves the pay grade she's at, this is what he's explaining, it's quite a bit blunt. - Oh, I don't care about any of that. I don't care about any of that. What I care about is, she said that she's not with this dude, but then he comes with her to this. - Yeah, it's like, they were clearly at the house together. When you get a call like this, it's not like the police are gonna wait for two hours, and then they showed up in the same vehicle, they got out of the same car together. - What do you think they were doing? - Well, I mean, they're dressed in T-shirts and shorts, it's fucking Georgia, in this heat right now, like dude. They were fucking. - Also, cops definitely know who the DA is. - Right, that's what I, so either he was playing a real cool, 'cause he knew the body game was on, 'cause if he got two-chipper about it, obviously the whole fucking department would be up in arms, but he just calmly explained what the charges were, where she could pick up her fucking daughter, and then I think he said, "Who are you?" And it was like, "Oh, father, you, what's the relationship here?" That was even hilarious, where you're like, "Well, the relationship is, they're fucking," and she blew up his marriage. And then they're not supposed to be together, yet here they are. So, I don't know about, "Oh, fatty, oh, fatty!" This doesn't look great. - Nothing looks great for her. - No. - She's gonna get disbarred. - None of these trials look great, and to Dan's point, we'll see what happens after the debate. If they keep this sentencing going, then, Trump has asked for it to be pushed, a bunch of other people have asked for it to be pushed. Now you got this lawsuit. I don't know what's gonna happen here, but certainly if somebody leaks this that he's been donating to the Democratic Party before the sentencing comes out, that would obviously delay the sentencing as well. They're gonna try to get him the fuck out of here, and that's how this works. So, now's the point in the show. We get to the drinking bro of the week. You can send your drinking bro of the week submission to drinkingbros.com. Got some fun new merch up in the stores. Michigan hats are up there. Oregon hats are up there. University of Illinois, got sweatshirts, all the fun stuff on drinkingbros.com. We got the bro box up there that comes to you once a month, and then also we have the submission form that gets emailed to us live on air, and it's all free. This one was submitted by Richard Lynch Jr. of Ohio, listeners since 2019, and he's nominating Derek Youngpeter. Big fan of that last time. That can't be real. - Yeah, I like that a lot. Mr. Youngpeter, I'm a big fan of that last name, as he's living. He said, Dan made a comment on Twitter to help feed people in need from financial hardships. I commented on his posts, and it got a response from Derek who offered me some link steaks and a cigar. After taking him up on the offer, we met up, spent four hours talking, smoking a cigar. After we got home, after I got home, put the steaks in the freezer, and I realized he dropped a $100 bill in the bottom of my bag. My family and my taste buds can't thank him enough. Cheers, holy shit, that's fucking dope. That happens a lot in our community. There's private Facebook groups as well. Go to m.a.in, and that's main. Our old Facebook page got deleted by Zuckerberg. No, we didn't post from the city of the sea in there, so maybe if we did, whatever, dude, I don't give a fuck. Any of that shit we didn't post in there, so yeah. They deleted the page, but this stuff happens a lot, and that's in there. We're also working on an app where nobody can touch the message boards, and that should be available shortly here. So looking forward to that. Appreciate you tuning in, kids. Come on out to the Brown Jug tomorrow. If you're in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it's about 25 minutes outside of Detroit.
