Welcome to Drinking Bros. presented by GoSpent.com! Sit back, relax, and grab a fucking drink! Yeah, welcome to Drinking Bros. Kids! Another Friday afternoon. Banger drinks here at noon. Drinks here at noon. Lots of hard AF Celts are going down the old gullets. Here today, Anthony. And we got some wild news to start off the top of the show. Oh, really? Apparently, Bob made a point, he was flagging me down, and then he held up like a chucky knife and said, "Hey, I got a story, but I want to wait until you guys go on air to discuss." What do we have here, Bob? There's some breaking news. Now, the other day, we discussed how we love going to Contaco Huts. Right, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell. Big fan. Love it. We've got a new entry in the combo restaurant game. Come on! Okay, let me take a deep breath. Let me stretch out. All right, give it to me, give it to me. Get ready for iHoppo B's. Stop it! iHopp combined with Apple B's? Is that real? Yeah, they are going to do joint locations starting in, I don't know. I literally just caught this news seconds before we went on air, but you're about to be able to slam margaritas and eat fucking stacks of pancakes. Fuck your grandfather in the back seat of an old 69 Chevy. That's the greatest thing of all time. All right, the possibilities, Anthony, are endless right now in my mind. All right, first of all, I'm going to start off with the sizzle and fajitas. Okay? That stops the restaurant. Stops the joint. That means I can also take my kids and then have them get some pancakes while I get those sizzle and fajitas right around 11.30 somewhere in there. You know? I haven't been to an Apple B since I was a fucking teenager. Yeah, but you're not alive inside. And that's, uh, you're a different man. The rest of us, dude. We're all in. Halfway saps? Yes. They have, there's a thing on their menu called Irresistibles. Mm-hmm. That makes me want to kill myself. Well, I'll take you. I'll be happy to take you there, you know? Crush some marks at the bar. I would like to see him end his life right in front of the waitress as soon as she drops off the chat. I'm looking at their menu right now. I probably would. This is garbage. This is not food. No, this is real food. All of this shit was frozen 20 minutes before you ordered it. Real food, real fun. Um, Bob, I'm, uh, man, I bought fucking Apple B's. Come on, man. It's morning. You don't want a little bit of chicken fried. Cool beer. All right. There it is. I start off with mat sticks, dude, um, and I always replace like one of my fingers on there. And so the mozzarella stick is up for, for the kids and the wife. I mean, you go after nine o'clock. You just get every appetizer on the menu. Oh, across the board. Across the board. Yes. I'm going full psycho mode. Yup. Uh, I'm ordering a stack of pancakes and like 10 margaritas. The syrup for the pancakes is the margarita. I'm just dousing the fucking cakes in it. I'm getting fucked up on pancakes. You wrap the boneless chicken in the pancakes. Yeah. Oh, beautiful. Mine, guys. Dude. Yeah. America's back. America's sure the fuck is back. We get Trump in there, dude. And we're all back. We're all fucking back. As far as that Apple B's goes along with the IHOP though, I think I can order then five sausage links to go with those mozzarella sticks and kind of dink and dunk, mix and match. Didn't IHOP try to become a burger place? Or is that a joke? It was a joke. It was a joke for April Fools. Yeah. Yeah. They did do burgers for a little while. And you can get like dinner at IHOP if you're a fucking piece of shit. Well, if you're eating an Apple B's or IHOP, you're a piece of shit. Yeah. Yeah. Apple B's not so much. It's the prices there are good enough for for a family pop up their menu unless they went to the roof too. I know we went over the fast food prices skyrocketed five hours the other day. No for Apple B's. They don't have the prices on any of the shit. I'm a gigantic Apple B's fan always. They still got two for 25 mozz sticks. Wait, two for 25? Two for 25. They're monteries. Yeah. Oh, okay. And an app. I believe. There we go. There we go. Look at that. I don't have apps these days. I'm not seeing prices because it's probably dependent on location. Yeah, we don't so we don't have one nearest over here or else I could tell you the price because I'd be in there every fucking Friday night with my kids. Closest one. I think it's 290 moped. It is. Yeah. I used to go to Denny's. Did you really? I like Denny's. I got to Dan Slam. I called it. Yeah. Six eggs with cheese, six pieces of bacon, six pieces of sausage. Look at that. And they tried to give me toast. And I threw it back in their fucking face. Yeah. Yeah. Out of here with your white bread bullshit. No, I get it, dude. What do we got onion rings down there? Spin dip, queso. I mean, look, tacos. Some avi, some, you know, German heritage here. These are authentic German brew pub pretzels and beer cheese. Oh, I'm sure they took the time to make beer cheese chip. Yeah, they did. They did. They ship it all in from Germany too. It's fresh. Definitely. It's definitely that microwaved. Not at all. Um, actually, I think, uh, the Trump administration passed something with Applebee is in particular in Germany where it just comes immediately. So as soon as it gets off the flight, it's in your mouth after that and it's nice and fresh and ready to go. What else we got there? Monsticks. Monsticks. The best wings and town. Double crunch bone and wings. Double crunch. What does that mean? Double crunch. That means you don't have to ask for extra crispy when you talk to the waitress. Yeah. When I did that gig at, uh, University of Alabama, uh, the hotel that I stopped at in the middle of the night at that tasting in Nashville had an Applebee's next to it. Um, and so I rocked the fuck out inside that goddamn place and it was amazing. Monday night football, Applebee, I'm sorry, Thursday night football, Thursday night football, Applebee's and, uh, and I got those double crunch wings, uh, mot sticks to start. And I was like, my life, like Lizzo, I was living my life, like Lizzo. Uh, yeah, you're going to end up looking like Lizzo if you eat at that place. Well, look, I, I do it once in a while. I don't do it every night. I'm just grateful it's not near my house. However, right now, Bob, there is an eye hot next to my house. Does that mean they're going to come in? I don't know. Maybe they'll jam it together. That's what I'm hoping. Right. Do you think there's going to be any like, um, rivalries between the staff? Yeah. Like the Applebee's people come in and they're snapping their fingers. Yeah. And they're the Thunderbirds or whatever. And then the Applebee's crew is saying, you know, a little bit of chicken frat. It's like, it's like a white trash version of West Side Story inside of Applebee's. I love it. Fat white people coming together, gravy and, and sausages flying, syrup everywhere. It's sticky. We're just fucking napkins stuck to their back. For no reason. Damn it, dude. This is America. Maybe we are back. Maybe we are back, dude. Uh, watch the state of the union last night with Biden. You see it? Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? Um, yeah, he was on drugs, of course. But so I, I related to it, to be honest, not the, not the stupid shit he was saying because he just lied the whole time. But I related to being in the condition that he was in. So it's a little bit different though. So for him, he's got late stage vascular dementia. He's barely keeping it together. They pump him full of B12 and Adderall and he goes out there and powers through. You can tell he's like his face is trying to come out of his skin. He didn't blink like twice the whole time. Um, now what I did it, it was because I had a presentation either for college or work the next day. Yep. And I had been out drinking since six. Yeah. And I did the same thing B12 Adderall and I'd looked and sounded exactly like he did. I thought this exact same thing where, um, there's a couple like business dinners or lunches you go to in your life where you start having marks at fucking noon. Um, and then you're, you, you find yourself slurring and you're like, oh shit, if I don't slow down and chop up an Adderall and take a quick fucking two to that, I'm never going to get through this, this important thing or whatever it is as you're trying to keep up with everything. And that's what he was last night. He was trying to keep up with everyone, the world and everything that is going on, but your time is so limited on all that shit of, of just holding it together that he was screaming the entire time, um, you know, one, there was applause every fucking 10 seconds, which there always is it, these goddamn things. It doesn't matter who the president is, uh, and he wanted to, it looked like there was a clock and stand up where he had to get off the stage before the next comedian goes and you're, you're hitting the red light there. Um, I think he knew what his time was, what time he had to get out of there and what time he had to go nine night and he was just racing through it to get, get to the end. However, he mumbled through half the goddamn speech, mispronounced names worse than I do. Yeah. Well, the, the worst, I guess the part that was actually coherent to some degree is the part that most people watch. People only watch 15 to 30 minutes statistically on average of the state of the union address. And they just watch to see what the tone and tempo is and then they fuck off. The first two things he talked about were Ukraine and January 6th. Yeah. I know it though, at the state of the union, the first thing he talked about was begging for money for this war that has absolutely jacked shit to do with us while we're still experiencing record inflation while, uh, people are spending 300% more on average for groceries. And he's talking about getting money for you fucking crane. Fuck Ukraine and fuck everybody there. I actually didn't care one way or the other about Ukraine, but now I hope Russia wins. Yeah. Just because fuck them, right? Um, get your own, fight your own fucking wars. Uh, then he goes down to January 6th, the second thing is like, this shit happened fucking years ago, we have exposed how there were over a hundred, like 200 fucking FBI agents in the crowd instigating shit, like we know all this stuff now, but, you know, speaking to his base, you at the state of the union, you speak to your own base and their base still believes that mask work. They still believe the vaccines work, which is, you know, to, to, for some reason, Trump was on true social, taking credit for the vaccine again yesterday, which is like, I don't know how, I don't know how I'm going to fucking hold my nose and vote for that guy, to be honest, that, that is a, he is, he is, it's all about him. Like if you have any delusions that Donald Trump gives one fuck about you or anything about you, you're out of your goddamn mind, frankly, because otherwise he would never fight. He's standing on that particular law because he thinks that fucking, like, oh, look what I accomplished. He knows it. If he loses, that's his biggest accomplishment as president historically. Yeah. It's pathetic. One thing that I think universally both parties actually fucking care about, where you can't ding him on that. No. Are you out of your fucking mind? Look, we... Republicans fucking hate him for this. We, we can all day long, but at the time, looking back at it right now, they're all taking credit for it. All of them. So what? Even, even fucking Mike Johnson. It doesn't make you cream. It doesn't money for that. It doesn't make you less wrong that everybody else is wrong. Totally. So yeah, he needs the fucking button that shit up, but he isn't going to because he's the fucking megalomaniac, just like anybody else that runs for president. But even the rest of the people there last night, so we'll go back to Ukraine with, with Mike Johnson. So I was watching Mike Johnson behind Biden last night. He was even agreeing and shaking his head with Ukraine shit and I'm like, get the fuck out of here. Like, I don't want to pay for this, this bullshit. And I don't think anybody else wants to either. But everybody in that fucking room last night, sure the fuck did, probably minus what, 20 people, 30 people there? Yeah. That room didn't fucking have some kind of spontaneous combustion. Yeah. Cause those are the worst people on earth there. And the only decent human being in that room was the parent of one of the 13th service members killed during the Afghan pull out the abbey gate. He stood up and yelled that Biden was a liar and got a son killed. And he's the one that got arrested and charged last night. Correct. And he's looking at five years, by the way. And if that happens, wherever he is, that fucking place is getting torn to pieces. I promise you that. I don't think anything's going to happen with that. Did you watch any of the pregame for this shit? Yeah. So Biden's motorcade got caught. Oh yeah. I saw that there was like Palestine protests outside. Yeah. So I got caught in traffic. They didn't know those people got arrested by the way. No. The people that were literally obstructing the president from moving around the city, they didn't get arrested, but a guy whose son got clipped because of your incompetence. Yeah. Fuck camera. Yeah. So that's what caused it to be, you know, a little on the later side. And then obviously his walk out entrance as he was coming in was, was filmed and all that stuff. I was surprised that he stopped at Marjorie Taylor Greene. Is there a photo of that on Twitter, Bob? If you can pull that up, I got the feeling that he didn't know who she was. Well, he didn't know who Lake and Riley was either. Well, we'll get to that. RIP to USC's football coach. Yeah. Lincoln Riley died, but we'll get to that in a second, but he's just a big college football fan. Yeah. This is the following this reaction right here. Yeah. So do you think he knows who she is? Yeah. I'm being totally. Well, he knows what that red hat is. And he's by the way, this is right when he walks in. I guarantee he got tuned up in the car before they let him out. I had to. He got an injection of something right before they let him out. So he's like peeking right now. This is the funniest thing he's ever done. Well, here's the thing. Do you think? So here's what I couldn't tell us. I don't know. He said that he didn't want his kids being raised in racial jungles when they were talking about integration. That's pretty funny. Yeah. Not intentionally. I don't know. I don't know if he knew who this was because as this goes on, Bob, even if you find the rest of the video, he does go up and shake her hands. And then she hands him a pin. And on that pin was for the Riley family. Yeah. Was it say, say her name or some shit? Yes. And I was surprised. Here's here's the other part about this. Delco was he took the pin. Yeah. So as this footage plays, he does take the pin. And he addressed it in his speech. Well, he addressed it in his speech only because people started screaming it out in the audience. Well, she did. She did. And there was a couple other. I think it was three or four. Obviously, she's the most vocal there, but but he does take the pin and then he takes it on stage and then they start screaming back and forth. And that's when he says, yeah, I want to give my condolences to Lincoln Riley's family at USC and they're a whole football team. And look, they are going through it. They lost Caleb Williams. Going to the Big Ten. Going to the Big Ten. They're not going to be any good this year. So I understand the thoughts and prayers. Lincoln Riley is two years away from being an NFL offensive coordinator. Exactly. So I understand the thoughts and prayers for head coach Lincoln Riley, however, he mispronounced her name. So as this went along, you know, again, he was racing against the clock and he's just ramping up the speech, talking over and over and over people. And it's smart, right? And you know how much time you got and you got to get the fuck out of there. It reminds me of every party I've gone to as an adult where I'm like, shit, man, I'm starting to get fucked up. I got to get out of here. I got to Irish goodbye this bitch and get the fuck out of here. Slurred through half the goddamn thing. And what I gathered from most of my friends on the left, and I don't know if you have any, Danthany, but most of them were relieved that he just got through it, but that he just completed an entire speech. Well, I mean, I'm able to get the fuck off the stage without falling over, falling down or turning sideways as he got off the stage. So here's Drudge Biden roars on big night hopes and fears, faces down critics, roasts Trump launches freedom campaign populist agenda. He's been in power for 50 years. Populous agenda. No, he's trying to raise tack. We're not going to raise taxes on anybody making more than 400,000. Do you remember what Biden, our Obama said when he was in office? We're not going to raise taxes on anybody who makes under $250,000. Well, they did. Yep. You didn't get to keep your doctor. No. This is all bullshit, right? They're talking about a billionaire tax that's going to raise $500 billion over the next 10 years. Do you know how long that would fund the United States government? About an hour. An hour and a half. 50 days. We're adding $1 trillion to our debt every 100 days. We're adding fucking, I mean, this is retarded nonsense, but there's still like math mass, right? That's just how it is. One and one is two. That's just how it is. And I don't understand how anybody, any of the tax and spend socialist, communist fucking liberals out there these days. You can't do math. You think they're raising a little bit of, they don't love the poor. They hate the rich. That's all it is, right? Now, sure rich people are cunt sometimes, everybody's a cunt sometimes, I guess, but you can't just steal people's money away because you don't like them. That's what the government does to us. Yeah. I don't like any of the fucking tax bullshit and everything else you said last night. I sure as fuck did not get to keep my doctor when the Obama thing went through. But, again, all my Democrat friends who I chatted with after that and I said, look, I'm not going to say your name on air. I'm curious, you're honest opinion and all of it was exactly the same from all of them. I'm happy he just got through it, didn't fall over and didn't fuck it up enough. That's somebody will bring anything than him screaming all night on the stage or anything else, and then they'll deal with him mumbling through the rest of the shit. It sounds like your friends are pieces of shit that don't give a fuck about our country, frankly. Like, if they're okay, like, oh, because he's on my side, I don't care if he's senile and incompetent, as long as he makes it, that's a cunt. Your friends are cunt. I'm telling you, man. Look, we have friends on the other side too that are the same exact way. I don't have any friends who think that way. You hate Trump, right? I don't hate him. No, I just think, I mean, I'm willing to point out when he makes mistakes. That's fine. But I'm voting for him. I'm all in. Yeah, between him and Biden, there's no fucking choice there, obviously. Right. Unless he fucking goes after, unless he makes, like, Tulsi or Nikki Haley or somebody like that, his VP, then I won't vote for him at all. But call out the guys' mistakes. He's not a fucking god or a leader, you know what I mean? He's some dick we were putting in charge to fucking deal with shit for a couple of years. That's it. And so, by the way, so the top thing, I said, well, what are you more focused on? What's your biggest concern? Abortion. All my friends. All of them were like abortion. And they were like, that we don't like what's going on with abortion. And that it's as simple as that. They did not like the shit in Alabama. I don't know why Republicans haven't gotten the message on that. She shut the fuck up about abortion. So after November, because this Alabama thing was dumb as shit, he pointed it out last night. And dude, you're going to lose women in this. And that's the fucking issue. They don't even have a moral argument for IVF. I actually do understand the argument of like a life starts at whatever, but IVF is. Well, yeah. So that brings up Katie Britt, right? Well, yeah. Yes. The Junior Senator, Rookie Senator from Alabama, from that state. And all the entire speech she made was only about that one, two sentence part about IVF. That was the whole thing, right? Just to say, actually, we're going to protect IVF. Like I don't know how under this current law, because you guys fucked up, right? Yep. And it would, I don't know, I don't know how it would play politically if they just said, Hey, we fucked up this law and we made it too broad and now we need to rain it in so people could fucking go use IVF and have kids. That would be a reasonable thing for somebody to say. And I would have some measure of respect for the person who said it. But like this breathless, Adderall driven, over dramatic kind of fucking dialogue from her last night was goofy. And again, it wasn't for me. I wasn't the audience. Suburban white moms were the audience. I was. And I don't know any. I do. I was sitting on last night. So I don't know how they felt about that speech, to be honest. I would like to see some polling to see how white women in the suburbs felt about that, because that's who it was targeted towards. Well, I can tell you what my white woman in the suburbs said. Jessie hates women, though. Yes. Yes. She's not a feminist, obviously, but watching that, first thought is why is this the person that you chose to give the Republican response? Because that's their biggest weak spot. I personally, though, would have gone with the vak, just because he is devastating in those situations. He would have been able to call out every single thing that went wrong. I thought they should have gone live. Typically, that's what they do. That looked like a canned appearance that was prerecorded with with Katie Brits. That's first off. It didn't look live. It did not. Second off, she, to me, felt like somebody who's in like, maybe they're going to call maybe their second or third acting class, and they're going through a monologue where show me dramatic, show me compassionate, show me funny, show me sad, show me angry, in a huge monologue that you would read to your teacher, and then they would pick that apart. It was an awful choice for the Republican last night. I mean, if it was canned, God, they should have shot a second take, to be honest, because all the Hs landed on the back of her throat, that's somebody trying too hard. You would not see it with your tongue, right? Not with your back, your throat. You'll hear an acting coach say it from your diaphragm, but enunciate on your tongue. You'll hear that a lot in acting classes. That's not what happened. Now, you know, there's some measure of charm to that, I suppose, that she's not a coached politician. She's a ordinary person, right? But she was an attorney, a trial attorney, right? Allegedly, I have a hard time believing in after what I saw, but my first thought after was over was, oh my God, I bet the writer's room in SNL, every single cast member's fighting to play her. Yeah, that's Saturday nights. There's already a bunch of fucking parodies of it on Twitter right now. I'm sure. I'm sure. It was a perfect choice for everyone. Every white sketch comedy woman on Twitter this morning was making fun of her that I saw it like they just put on a fucking pleaser and go after. Let's see. And so, but that's what you didn't want, right? You had Biden's learn and racing through the goddamn speech, and then lying about accomplishments that don't exist, great. Let's finish strong if that's a Republican response, and then you close with her. You're fucked. And like my biggest overall issue with all of it is I think this is the last time genuinely. We will see Joe Biden speak in public. I don't think he will do any rallies. He will certainly not do any debates with Trump. I don't see him sitting down to do any more TV interviews unless it's prerecorded and edited. That's the last memory you're going to have of it, and you're going to get the exact same responses you had on my friends Twitter and all that other shit who are just like, well, thank God he got through it and then kind of move on. And then for the Republican side, when you're getting into if your biggest issue is abortion and then you had this dumb fucking woman come on with this canned hokey fucking speech at the end, it's the last thing you wanted there because this might be your only shot to follow Biden live in an event where he's actually speaking to people because he'll never fucking do it again the rest of the year. So yeah, I mean, that's the only shot you had at him. That's it. And then we led with Katie Brit for Christ six from Alabama. By the way, do you remember how yesterday I said that his speech writers are going to add spots in there to bait Republicans in the responding and he was going to light them up and happen three separate times. It did. I was for it. I was for it. And you're right. And he waited and they fell for it like, do you really like I'm not in DC, I'm not on the Hill. I don't have speech writers of my own. And it was blatantly obvious to me that was exactly what was going to happen. And you can't figure this out. That's why Republicans can't win fucking elections. They are completely incompetent that everything they do, the RNC's fucked. I mean, maybe around the Swami will turn it around. I think he's going to take over the RNC. If he does, it'd be great. I think he'll I think he'll turn it around maybe. But as it stands right now, they're just like a bunch of incompetent turds. By the way, Katie Britt beat Michael Durant for that Alabama Senate seat. I remember who Michael Durant is. No, Black Hawk down. Super 6-4. I was shit for real? Yeah. But nobody likes him. Okay. He's a he's a twat. Apparently, I don't I don't know the guy. So I don't know. I can't speak to him. But people somebody reached out to me and asked if I was following this campaign. I was like, I didn't know he was running. No. That's the first time I've ever heard of it. But yeah. So all in all, look, if you're looking at the whole picture, probably a win for for Biden and the Democrats last night, because look, it was a shit show. But again, if you're like you said at the top, you're speaking to your base and your base only. You don't give a fuck about Republicans or whatever lies you tell nobody's going to fact check your stop your goddamn speech. Well, Tucker fact check with Alex Jones, he did and he lit his ass up pretty good. I wish Tucker would have done this at the end. They should imagine. Yeah, if Tucker was had done the rebuttal, that would have been pretty funny. Yeah. If Katie Britt for Christ's sakes. And I don't know why why stay with tradition? Why not have Tucker and Vivek Ramiswami do it at the same time? Just take turns rattling off shit. Yeah. Just come after this motherfucker, right? Put some pressure on him. Yeah. It was it. Oh boy. Now to be fair, some independent media folk, when I say independent media, I mean Tim Poole's to take that for what it's worth, counted 170 slurs during the hour and eight minute long speech. Boy. I thought it was more than that. It felt like more. Maybe they were being conservative. Maybe. To not jack the numbers up too high. But you know, if you this is modern politics, right? So if you're a leftist and to be frank, if you're voting for a guy who's allowing millions of people to cross the border, unimpeded every year and even trafficking them in the middle of the night, you're not a liberal anymore. You're a neoliberal leftist and a fucking retard. If you support that shit, nothing that could have happened last night was going to put you off of that, in my opinion. No, me neither. Unless he like fucking shit his pants and fell down the ground instead of crying or something. They would make it because they're talking about, oh, he fucking crushed it. Yeah, he had a lot of energy. That's what people on fucking methamphetamine's do. But the bar was so low that I don't think he crushed it. He just got through it. Like I said, he just got through it. He definitely didn't crush it. But he did have. He was alive. He he he was angry and jacked up on fucking meth. Yeah. Right. That's and you know, look, maybe maybe he can govern that way for four years. That by and last night governing that way, that'd be fun. I mean, that sounds like it. At least it'd be funny. Sounds like an American to me. Angry and jacked up on meth. Yeah. I wish. Would you have any? You guys holding back there? I've got Adderall. You holding back? I did too many mushrooms last night. Yeah. Did you really? Yeah. Let's poke it out. I like them. They're good. They're really good a lot. They're better than the, not that I didn't like the cubes that that guy, whatever, said. But these ones, the floor was moving. Sure. Did you watch the State of the Union on mushrooms? No. Okay. Man, that would be. Wasting mushrooms on that? I think we watched the State of the Union. Goddamn. Yeah. Did you guys watch it? Fuck no. No. Really? No. I don't give a shit. What do you think the, that's a great point. What do you think the ratings are for something like that? I don't know that I've ever looked at the ratings for the State of the Union. I'll check. Do people watch it or like, I, because I said this, I had a conversation with my mom on the way home before it was about to crank up last night and I go, hey, are you watching this? She goes, no, I don't watch any of that shit. And I was like, oh, well, she goes, I'm sure you do for work. And I go, yeah, yeah. I watch all of it for work, but I also care and want to see what's going on. As this keeps going on, though, like I found myself just getting angry and angrier over the last half hour, 45 minutes last night and Jesse went to bed. She was like, fuck this shit. I sent you a link to a picture of Biden from last night. Is it, I, I'm almost positive. I know the one it's going to be, but I will open that link. So you'll be unsurprised to learn, by the way, that ratings have been dropping for decades. Oh, I'm the State of the Union. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like the retention time is down to like 18 minutes. It is. That's about how long my wife sat there. And then she got into this bad boy, look at this bad boy right here. That is, that's the face of meth right there. That's an 80 fucking two year old dude who has vascular dementia, who they pop full of nitric oxide and phetamines and B12, right? Yeah. How, like, do you really think this is his best? Yeah. This is the best he can perform last night. Seriously. They had a jacked up on everything. Every other day is like 1% of this without the drugs or anything like that. But it also tells you who's actually running the country. Like who is it then? Barack Obama. Yes. That's what I think too. Probably, right? So, I mean, they would say, oh, he's just an advisor. Like, okay, well, he advises you and you do what he says and you don't even bother asking the actual president. That's, that's a de facto president, bud. The other, the other part too is like, we use this term puppet all the time or the media uses it of, oh, this is Putin's puppet or somebody's puppet or whatever. This is the only time in history. I can genuinely say this is just a puppet made of skin at this point and somebody else is doing all this shit. Yeah. Well, you know, he's getting a lot of help from the media, of course, which is nothing new for liberals in this country. Liberals or Warhawk Republicans, they both get a lot of help from the media. The Associated Press ran a story last night and the headline was, it was what the Republicans demanded but never expected. President Joe Biden said her name, Lincoln Riley. Well, no, he didn't, no, he didn't. Not only did he not see her name, said it wrong, fucking got the facts of the case wrong, then he said that thousands of people have been killed by illegals and he called them illegals as well, which he's getting lit up for by leftist now. Although Nancy Pelosi was on MSNBC last night and she's like, yeah, he should have said, he should have said undocumented migrants, but, you know, it's not that big a deal. It's like, oh, it's not because we were all racist for saying illegals. Yeah, that was a now this old fucking cunt right here. He's fine. Don't worry about him. Yeah, but the Associated Press, I just want to remind everybody colluded with Western Union to overthrow an election in the late 19th century because they didn't want reconstruction to happen. No. Just to be clear about what that organization is in their history. But we know what we're in for. They helped Rutherford B. Hayes steal an election because he was anti-reconstruction. But we know what we're in for this election. It's going to be much of the same. I'm going to pop up and CNN. So I did the same thing as I always do, by the way. I went through all the channels last night to see all the feedback. If you're on the rights, it was Biden was angry, slurred through the speech and everything else. If you're on the left, obviously MSNBC, CNN, it was a triumph. It was the most somebody. I was either Rachel Maddow or somebody in CNN called it's the greatest state of the Union speech in the history of our country. I think it was Scarborough, wasn't it? Yes. It was like, this is the best of Joe Biden we've ever seen. Really? Damn, dude. That's the best, huh? Shit. Oh shit. Go to CNN right now. Right now. Just right now. God damn it, dude. I'm not clairvoyant. I wish I was here. Pop that up. There's their headline now. This version of Biden. Go back to the headline. There it is. So this version of Biden could beat Trump. Yeah. They could just keep him on fucking crack for the next, for the next five years. It's like you can beat Trump and run the country. What? What? And that was the sentiment from everybody last night on the left of like, all right, well, shit, dude, if we can keep this drugged up skin puppet alive for five more years. Fuck it. Yeah, but explain to me how that's different from all the MAGA people not talking shit about Trump for lockdowns and the fucking vaccine. It's not. And bump stock bands and all the other stupid shit he said about red flag laws. He's like everything he's not on your side. It's the lesser of two evils. And for me personally, one of these assholes is running the country. So my top two on my list, I'm voting on immigration and I'm voting on my fucking wallet. That's it. The rest of this shit, nothing I can fucking do at this point. I'm a single issue voter guns. They're all that matter to me. Okay. So mine is immigration because I don't think this is going to be safe, sustainable. And I obviously have three kids and not to fucking use that girl who died in Georgia, but I got a daughter and I don't I don't even want to risk that shit when they go out into the fucking world and it's going to keep getting worse and worse and worse. And I don't know if our country can honestly withhold another four years of just letting in two to fucking 10 million people a year. Oh, definitely. Legally. No, it can't. It can't. So those to me, that's what I'm voting on this fall. And I think everyone out there is voting on two issues. Right and left. It's two issues and they're totally different. Um, again, Democrats, it's going to be abortion. That is number one, Republicans number one is going to be immigration. Uh, I'm surprised that Democrats and normal people aren't concerned with immigration, but what the fuck, bro? Um, I just don't think any of that is sustainable and then financially this country, uh, with inflation and everything else and illegals on top of it and everything we're seeing in New York and San Francisco and all that other shit. Uh, I just don't think the economy could withstand four more years of this guy without cratering into the fucking ground. I just don't think it can happen. Um, so I don't know, uh, it's going to be a close one this fall. I, that was my honest takeaway was I think it's going to be a very close election. I don't know that it's going to be fair. I certainly don't know that we're going to get the outcome that we think we're going to get, uh, because every news channel before this started went on air and said Biden is down by five. Uh, I don't really believe in polls and, uh, I don't, all of those numbers sound fun and flirty, but who fucking knows? Um, if we, if we do have one, do you think he'll win, uh, if we have one, what, an honest election. Do I think Biden would win? Yeah. No, no, I mean, people like the abortion thing is a problem for Republicans for sure, but um, paying 300% more for your groceries, I think is going to be an issue. I hope so. I thought that in 2022 though. And if it's not, to be honest, if, if they're like, we'll see what the election is like, but, uh, you know, people are the, the threats to move to Canada are coming back. Um, Italy is the new Canada, by the way. So a lot of Hollywood people are saying they're moving to Italy if Trump wins, which, you know, what, uh, fine, I guess, I mean, it's kind of going downhill because of China right now, um, uh, Clooney just left and he left Lake Como too, right. So if you're going to leave someplace and it's that then, you know, it sucks, right? Well, you're left for migrants. Yeah. There's a shit ton of migrants out there. Yeah. Um, and he's now he's in the south of France and it was on the cover of, uh, you know, us weekly check out Clooney's new pad in the south of France. Oh, away from the immigrants. Oh fucking congratulations, man. Yeah. But that's kind of what it is. Right. And the democratic response to all of this of like, hey, we don't really care about what happens. We'll just try to be rich enough to keep moving and moving and moving until there is no place to move anymore. Yeah. They basically treat cities the way that American settlers treated American buffalo. Yeah. They just fucking exhaust all the resources, fuck everything up, raise the land and then leave to a new spot. And for me, that's how I treat a rental car. That's how I treat my toilet. So dikdukes.com, um, at the, towards the end, the part that nobody actually saw, he went on this rant about us, whatever, whatever an assault weapon is. Um, now I, a member of the media was so kind to hand me the PDF, to send me the PDF that got sent out to all the Biden surrogates who were going to do media afterwards. Right. Um, do you want me to send it to you? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, send that over. I'd love to see this. Yeah. So what is this? Like a set of talking points? Yes. Okay. Gotcha. That they want to get across either for you to push or what the white house is pushing and then, Hey, we hope you'll talk about it. This is what the DNC or not the DNC. This is what the Biden administration sent to people who are going to go on television for the Biden administration policy. Yeah. Everybody else. Okay. Um, because I also saw a lot of people taking notes in the audience or their aides and assistants and things like that. So people were there dialling up responses. So the second it ended, they could go out to his socials and all that other stuff and make comments and, uh, and give statements to the press. Um, is it a rise as I'm back? Yeah. Ross's motherfucking I'm active, you know, let's go, dude. Let's go. Okay. So I'll read some of this. Um, so here are the talking points. Is this written on a notes app? Yes. Why? Yeah. Cause they were then saved in a PDF. Okay. Yeah. Um, they're live there. So that's what they were doing last night. I saw four or five of them. So the administration wants to increase the number of background checks by ensuring that all background checks required by law are conducted before firearm purchases, blah, blah, blah, large majority of American support, blah, blah, blah, the president will call on Congress to pass universal background check legislation, which will not pass. In the meantime, he's directing attorney general, uh, Mayor Garland to do everything, um, he can to ensure that firearms sellers who do not realize they're required to run background checks. That's not a thing. Nobody doesn't know that. Under existing law who are willfully violating the existing law become compliant with background check requirements. Specifically, the president is directing Mayor Garland to move the U.S. as close to universal background checks as possible without additional legislation, right? Yeah. They tried to pull with OSHA with the vaccine mandates, the same should they tried to pull with the bump stock, uh, bullshit and the pistol brace bullshit by, by, uh, uh, uh, an executive branch agency trying to legislate, which is not how that works, right? They're just saying that they're going to do that, right? Despite the fact that there's two current cases at the Supreme Court over this, they're saying that we're going to do the exact same goddamn thing once, once more. Are you surprised by that? No. They're also going to push mandatory red, red flag laws concurrent with convictions, um, mandate, state buyback and buy-in programs voluntarily for assault rifles. I don't know what mandate and voluntarily means, uh, and then they're going to push for a full assault rifle ban by one August, 2024. Yeah, nothing is surprising about that whatsoever. They're going to, they're going to increase the appropriate use of extreme risk protection, AKA red flag laws, uh, which, you know, that's going to go to the Supreme Court at some point as well. Um, God, there was one more thing. Hang on. We find it. Well, if you're saying August 1st, by the way, on the banning of assault rifles, they'll push the bill through, try to get it through. And then once it doesn't pass, they'll say Republicans don't want to protect, uh, people and shit like that. So that's an easy one that'll be right before the election. And that makes sense. Like, yeah, that's a no brainer that the Democrats will do that for sure. There's one more thing in here that's fucking, let's see if I can find it, um, um, um, well why you look for that? I'm going to read another headline from Drudge here, uh, Haley becomes the most successful female Republican politician in history. What? How do you figure that? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I honestly don't, there's, there's like eight female governors, tons of female governors. One, two, she. Yeah, I know. But we actually had one that was on the vice president on a ticket. She, I, I'm getting higher than what, palin would probably presumably be number one. I don't, I don't, who would you put in the top three above Haley? Like, I mean, just objectively on how far as much as I don't want to, you got to go palin one, not only was she governor, but she was on the VP ticket, right, which is, uh, a first for Republicans. I don't remember another woman being on, uh, the ticket before, I would say Condolee's Rice is probably number one, but she wasn't elected official, but she's a, she's a politician, nonetheless. Right. I mean, if you want any cabinets, then, yeah, certainly on the college football playoff committee, that's the part that really means a lot to me, but a member of a Gus, and the first member of a member of a gusty. Yeah. Yeah. I can't give her one for that. Uh, he's vice president and still a big boy. Possish. We were like, Oh, fuck. All right. Cool. Um, because even Democrats will be able to hang their hat on. Oh, we, we, we got the first woman in there and she's black. We did. Um, so yeah, uh, underneath palin though, tough call shit. Who else? Nancy Reagan. Like who fucking knows. She never went running. I know. Although she was basically the president for a while. That's what I'm saying. She was president for four years, essentially. She's doing the same thing that Jill Biden's doing now to this old bag of dicks. So, uh, tough call there. I mean, to be honest, you're talking about just Republicans. So right. Well, just cause this is what this article says. Um, this is the headline, the most beautiful female Republican politician of all time. No. I don't, I don't, I mean, she wasn't successful though. No, she lost. She lost. Um, bad. She lost. Bad. Um, and now look, unless she makes a comeback and goes back and runs for Senate there when lady G retires, maybe, uh, but not right now, Nancy Kazenbaum, Kazen, Kazen, Kazenbaum was, uh, a Senator, a female Senator in the 1970s. That seems like better than whatever's happening here. Yeah. Yeah. Nikki Haley was a governor. Oh, wow. Shit. She was in, uh, the UN position too. Yeah. No. Uh, maybe, maybe, maybe you're, maybe you're right. Maybe she's a two. Kazenbaum was a Senator for 20 years. Pretty impressive. Yeah. That's not bad. Um, but nobody knows who she is. So I guess I've never heard of her yet, but I wasn't alive then. So who fucking knows? You were definitely 16, 17 years old in 1978. No. Dan, then we got some sponsors to put this shit wagon on the air. First and foremost, go spit.com forward slash drinking bros 50% off. Oh, I, everything in this store, all of it.

Don't remember any of that. Is that what she retired? What about Sandra Day O'Connor? I don't think she held in any position, but what did she hold? She was a state legislator in Arizona before she was on the appeals court, then before she became a Supreme Court justice. Not really a full repute all the way. She's Republican. No, I mean, but as far as like jobs in a Supreme Court, it's a big boy position. But it's a politician. It's not what shouldn't be a political position, although they certainly used it last night. He called out the Supreme Court right away. I've never seen a fucking state of the union where the president talked shit to the Supreme Court. Immediately. I've never even heard of that. I've never heard of that even happening to be honest. And by the way, they didn't overturn Roe v. Wade. It's not what happened. They didn't overturn it. It wasn't a court case that got overturned. It was bad case law that got eliminated and returned to the States. I don't know why that's so goddamn hard for people to understand. Well, I know it's why it's hard for Democrats to understand because they don't fucking, they don't want it to be true. So yeah, but also when their states are getting shut down over abortion, I'm telling you, that's going to be the biggest issue. It's that an immigration this fall. It's easy enough to say on the surface, not a lot of people can afford it. I mean, shit, you know what the inflation's like and all this other shit. They're stuck. Everybody feels stuck right now. Everybody I talk to feels stuck. These interest rates, you cannot afford a fucking house. No one can buy a house right now. No one. Cars are through the goddamn roof. They're trying to lease them to you for four years now, which has never happened. You know, I've been driving for a while now and there's there's never been an option for a four or five year lease on a fucking car. Yeah. Olympia Snow, I would put ahead of Haley. Olympia Snow. Yeah, she was from from Maine. She was at every level of government, like state legislature, state Senate, then Congress then Senate. Okay. I believe. Over the course of like 30 years or some shit or 20, 20 years. What does she retire? I have no idea. It was like, it was a while back. So probably 20 years anyways, she didn't lose elections either. She retired. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, uh, you know, moving on from that bullshit, that's that's in my opinion. The last time we see him here from him, all that other stuff, everybody else will take over on the campaign trail. Uh, I think Obama will be doing the majority of these speeches and events and rallies. And, uh, you know, Joe will pop into one or two, uh, Jill will do shits, Michelle will do shit and, uh, probably the Clintons. I've seen them out a lot recently. Oh, his cabinet. Mayor Garland will be out on the stump forum. Correct. He will be out on the stump forum. I don't know about the intelligence people, but they will for sure. Yeah. But he, you, I would be shocked to see Biden do anything. And to be honest, um, another thing he mentioned last night was, uh, hold on, let me find it. It was called stand by God, damn it, um, the end of it, by the way, was, uh, the other thing that was breaking last night was, uh, the fall of Haiti as well. Have you heard about that? Uh, yeah, I sure have, but I can't really speak to it. Uh, is it going to happen because that's what the media is speculating that it could be any day now? I wouldn't, here's what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't be hanging out in any major cities in, in Florida, South Florida right now. Okay. Just, that's all I'll say about that. Um, Biden mentioned the freedom to vote act. This is another bill that he wants to get passed. So I asked chat GPT, what's in it? And, uh, the first thing is codified mandatory, no excuse, mail-in voting federally. Great. To federalize mail-in voting forever. Yeah. That's number one. That's the first thing to the bill. Of course it is. Of course it is. Um, it also automates voter registration. Perfect. So that dead people and Lee Wembert can just automatically get registered to vote now. Yeah. Without any kind of ID, any of that shit, um, it counts provisional ballots regardless of errors, including the incorrect polling places, the incorrect signature, all that. Right. So we went through a Nevada and then it literally, it said, then it says it puts an end to partisan election challenges. Well, of course they're going to be partisan. It's a fucking partisan election. Every challenge is by definition partisan. And then five, uh, chat GPT suffered a network error at that point and stopped reporting what, what else is in the bill. So I'm sure this works shit in there, to be honest. I just haven't found it yet. Yeah, dude. All of this is coming. Uh, all of this is coming and again, shocked by none of it. Uh, I'd love to say it was there was a big election win this weekend since our votes aren't going to matter at all. Was it hard to show election? No, no. All right. All right. All right. Who was it? Uh, school choice getting very close to being a thing in Texas, Abbott's candidates won most of their races. Uh, I don't know if you know about this, uh, I was talking to Dan about it the other day. Um, there was a certain amount of Republicans that opposed school choice in Texas, Abbott primary to all of them with his own candidates. Uh, most of them won. A couple of them are in a runoff. Uh, if I think all, I think he needs most of them to win, but it's looking pretty good. If those guys pass and get into the house, this is for the Texas State House, uh, school choice probably passed. Yeah. Which means when school choice passes, this is what it means for you as a parent. And your kids that are enrolled are that are five or older, right? Actually, maybe six. I don't know if they cover kindergarten and school choice program, I guess it'll depend on the program. But what it means for you is instead of the state issuing the public education system, I think it's 7,800 or 8,500 here in the U.S. are in Texas. Oh, no. You want to know what the, what Abbott's bill is? No. 10,500 to kid. Okay. Well, that's more than what the state's spending currently. Yeah. By the way, which is fine. Okay. And property taxes, so that makes sense. Um, at any rate, so 10,500 for each child, you will get, and you can spend it how you choose homeschool, you can spend it on a private school, and you can pay the rest or whatever the fuck you want to do. Okay. That's what school choice is. No shit. Or kids and say a shitty school district. Yep. They can go into a different school district or you can stay in your public school too, right? Whatever you want to do. And then keep the money? And no, no, no. No. If you stay in the public school, the money goes to the public school. Whatever you want to get. Oh, God. You, you, you basically say, Hey, private school costs this much. It's like, what is it like fucking? I think the private school is right here, like 16,000 a year, something like that. Yeah. 18,000 somewhere like that. So you would just have to pay the rest. If you want to, uh, if you decided you were pretty good here, uh, at least where we live out now in this area, obviously, for now, yeah, but I mean, like this passes that goes into perpetuity, which, you know, even if even in areas where public schools suck, what you'll see is some of them will contract because they won't have enough customers, students, anymore. They'll go away. And then the other ones have to improve their fucking standards. Like, there's going to be some governing board, uh, or even an NGO here in Texas that's like, are you teaching CRT and DEI? You fucking having trannies come in here and dance in front of my kids? You're fucking done forever, bitch. Yeah. Right. And they'll put them on a blacklist and everybody'll pull their kids out. Should they choose to if they want to keep them in there, that's their problem. But that, that'll be the second stage. It also, I mean, another huge thing for, uh, what, overwhelmed or just bad school districts or whatever. You shrink the classroom size, which is huge. So now that teacher that's overwhelmed becomes less. Yeah. Overwhelmed. Yeah. I mean, there's nothing. Look, it's, there's the potential for abuse for like fake schools, like Trump University, for example, or, uh, it's not a, it's not a, I got a degree from there. Yeah. I use it every day. Or shitty, like homeschooling maybe, I guess, but homeschool kids statistically are way better off than non homeschool kids, especially now, more than ever, because there are more pods out there, right? Like you could take this 10, five per child, right? And talk to all the other parents in your neighborhood. And one parent a day gets the kids and they teach them math or science or whatever the fuck, whatever they're good at. You teach them for that day with that part of the curriculum and then just go to the next person's house the next day, right? And you all use that money to fund what's going on there, including like the space in the same way that you write off a room or two in your house for taxes, it would all work that same way, right? So we live in the best possible time, especially if you live in a neighborhood with kids to do homeschooling and little pods like that. Should you choose to? Some people can't because they're busy, right? Some people just don't want to, which is fair enough, you know, but it used to be homeschool kids were way smarter, but weird because they didn't get socialized the same way everybody else did. And we can do both without having to deal with the public school, which is nice. Yeah, and it at least leaves the door open and the option out there. And for somebody who is going to a shitty school to go to a better school if they want to. And I mean, like this is competition, right? So the shittier schools should get better or they'll go away. It'll be one of the two. They'll either get better through competition or they'll fucking contract because there's no customers, which is, you know, who's school of all the fucking partisan issues that are out there right now on policy, not like guns and stuff like that, but like policy stuff. This one, I don't, I, it makes so much sense. I don't understand why anybody wouldn't be in favor of it. Well, teachers unions are powerful. That's why. And what do the teachers unions have against them? They only represent public schools for the most part, some, some of the students represent private schools, but private schools can tell teachers to go fuck themselves to you, right? Okay. I didn't know. I didn't grow up in a private school. I don't have zero experience in it. My kids don't go to a private school either. I don't recall there being a teacher union at any of my private schools. Yeah, there were for the most part there, like private community colleges and shit like that will have teachers unions most of the time, but private high schools and middle schools don't. But yeah, they're not thrilled about that because that's their job, but that's a problem, right? We have any issue and any policy issue that pops up in the US social or policy issues. And the entire industry pops up around them, people to represent them, people to service them, protect them, whatever the fuck else it is. And that becomes your life. I'm a, I'm a teacher's union rep. That's what I do. What, if they don't need teacher's union reps, what do I do now? Well, I don't know. Learn to code fuckface. Because that's what you told all those coal miners when you tried to shut down that shit. Right. Fuck you. Sorry. Yeah. It'll be interesting. Is it just Texas Bob or is there? It's a state by state. Yeah. It's a state by state. Okay. But I think there's 20 some states. I, Iowa just recently passed it. It depends. And so one of the big. I will say. 28 states. In defense of the Republicans who were maybe some other Republicans who were against it, that Abbott primary, there was a concern about, um, because school choice is, it's really kind of an urban and suburban thing, right? Rural schools don't really get a ton of school choice the same way. More densely pocketed. I mean, it's too far out. It's, it's more homeschooling that. Right. So they're also, Abbott is also, I think, putting in the bill or it was in his initial bill that didn't pass, um, I mean, billions in money for rural schools that where you just, the population is probably not dense enough. And how public schools are funded are based off like test scores. Yeah. I'm not just one test. Uh, yeah. And by the way, so, uh, Dell cookers, my kids just went through it, um, last year here, um, they, the teachers put all their eggs into that basket and they have to really fucking seriously. Like white schools continue to get funded. So in every urban, like shitty poor school, I mean, they're continued to be. The amount of fucking emails I got hammered with from the school about make sure your kid is here for this test day. Why are the shitty poor schools not doing well on the test? Just because they don't show up. They don't know why it's really hard. I mean, I, I, I'm friends with somebody that teaches that a shitty poor school and I mean, she gets underpaid and she works her ass off and tries to get these people. Well, all teachers are underpaid. Yeah. Yeah. But it's a parental involvement is typically the number one predictor. You get a, your parents got to fucking take you or want to. Well, it's not just about taking them like to the parent that so I was part of this study in, in California on the, and it was run by a teachers union too. They've left less resources than I guess a school in like trip and springs, right? Hmm. But resources though, but you continue to see it's kind of this like perpetual cycle of shit because like, if you do well in the test, you get more funding and then more funding becomes more. Yeah. That's no child left behind by the way, which is an ironic name for considering the fucking how it works. Right. Oh yeah. That's, that's a bush era fucking thing that's still going on today. But yeah. So we were part of this study where they, they did cross tabs on every possible, um, trait and circumstance that a child could be in and then they matched up with test scores. And the only solid predictor of academic success was parental involvement. Was the parent, and it was the question they asked where, um, does the parents check their homework shit like that, right? Yep. It's just like a series of question about like specific questions about whether how involved the parent actually was, how much time they spend at home with a child each day, so on and so forth. Mm hmm. The only, that's, that's the only predictor that actually makes sense. Yeah. And it makes sense in all the, like teacher conferences and, and shit that I've had where they're saying, one, they were like, Hey, this handwriting isn't your child. It's, you know, your wife's, it appears to be, you know, and then was like, Oh, is she was helping them and whatever is that bad? And they're like, no, it needs to be in his own handwriting and things like that. And then, but they preface it by saying, Hey, we're glad that you're there and you're helping out your child. So yes, I, I agree, um, it's parents. That's where it starts. And then the rest of it, uh, it goes from there. Um, the other issue too is, uh, you're having problems here. Even in the suburbs, even the fucking rich wife suburbs, uh, just getting bus drivers. So like for me, I, we have to take our kids to school. There's no fucking, there's not enough bus. Oh, I live across the street from the bus depot and, uh, there's a fucking sign up constantly that they're hiring. Yeah. If you keep going through those, uh, those neighborhoods, Bob, they're everywhere. Yeah. And it's a, it's a huge face and it's saying, I mean, they're paying decent shit. It was like $35 an hour, $40 an hour and I was like, God damn, um, but they were putting white people on those too. So then you know, it's real serious. Do you want to hear some cool fucking quotes, by the way? Yeah. Go about Palestine, uh, short. Okay. It was at the top of my, my, uh, wait, can I tell you something really quick that I just read a day? Yeah. I got a double check if it's a fact, but I'll just say it cause it's fine. God. Cause it'll bank you giggle cause you're a sick fuck. Um, being typecast over here, little, uh, little whoopsie daisy with a, a pair of drop to aid today. Oh man. This squish somebody. Yeah. Shoot didn't open and squished a family. Oh, you know, that's, that's why we're building that port. What? Obviously it happens all the time. Heavy drop. People get fucked up all the time. I always assumed it, but like I thought you had enough time when it was like, Oh shit. Look at this guy. There's a huge palette falling. Apparently. I should move. Again, I'll have to read it. I just caught the headline, but I think it dropped through their house. Oh boy. And then here's the fucked up thing, Bob. We all know what happened right after that, right? Everybody looted this. Sure did. Not just the stuff from that family. Oh no. Well, they may have drug them outside and put up towel over them or something, but doubtful. I need to get that before they got the food before they get the rice now. No, I need that rice. The fucking rice first, um, so this is a, I'll go in chronological order cause it's all, these are all really funny to me, um, and I've, I've had these in a note for a while. I don't know why I haven't read them yet, but I keep seeing that, um, Palestine is not a real place. It never has been. Yeah. And as such, there's no such thing as a Palestinian and that's a fact, right? Find me one world map ever, like if you Google it, Wikipedia will say 137 countries that the UN recognized Palestine as the state, but not the people there. No. All the fucker. I mean, you know, you don't know what a woman is either. So anyways, this is a quote from general secretary of the Arab hire committee on we abdi al-Hadi testifying before the British appeal commission in 1937. Ready? Uh, there's no such country as Palestine, Palestine is the term Zionist invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria, Palestine is alien to us. It is the Zionist who introduced it. That's the guy who was leading the charge for a state. So where did, where and when did the word Palestine become a thing for, uh, uh, uh, it's a region. Palestine was a region from the Romans and the one for you. After Hadrian, after Hadrian, uh, did a pretty good genocide on the Jews. Yeah. Like the second century. Yeah. He, he, and by the way, it was, it's something, you know, it's kind of like a little like tiny Jewish fun fact, um, you know, obviously like all Jews hate Hitler and stuff like that. Hadrian was Hitler before Hitler was Hitler. He was, yeah, I mean, like they fucking hate the Emperor Hadrian rate stats might, he might be way worse. Yeah. It might be way worse. The, uh, the air, that area's, uh, how many Jews even existed back then maybe a million or two million tops, something like that. That area's population did not recover for a thousand years, uh, but the Romans called it Syria, Palestine, or something like that, uh, after Hadrian, everybody there, but it was Syria. Yeah. And then for a while was Jordan trans Jordan Syria again, but anyways. So this is from, uh, Professor Philip Hitti, who was an air of a story in 1946. There's no such thing as Palestine in history. Absolutely not. Period. Yeah. All right. This is from, uh, Ahmed Shukiri, uh, who went on to become the chairman of the PLO of the People's Liberation, or the Palestine Liberation, uh, whatever the fuck, um, he was, he was saying this to the UN Security Council in 1956, the head of the PLO. Um, it is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Now this was a bit longer, but you want to, you got a free Palestine. Yeah. This is, this is a bit longer. This is from another PLO executive committee member as a here, uh, moose in 1977 interview with a Dutch newspaper, um, the Palestine, Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity and reality today. There's no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. That's true. Um, only from political and tactical reasons that we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people since Arab national interest demand that we posit the existence of a distinct quote Palestinian people to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders cannot refuse, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Haifa, uh, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, uh, Beersheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we were clean our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine, Palestine and Jordan. So they wanted it to become a fucking one big country. They want, uh, a new emirate. They want to know, uh, what do you call it? Um, Ottoman Empire, basically, but better, but yeah, it's like only Zionists were referring to Palestine ever, right? And then later in the like 1970s, the Arabs there started to adopt it as well. And now you have white children from the Pacific Northwest setting themselves on fire. Ignite the air to free Palestine, gotta, gotta free it, bro, free Palestine, which is not even a real place. You may as well be freeing the fucking land of make believe Mr Rogers, that tyrant son of a bitch. Like, you know, my feelings in the Middle East, I just don't care. I don't care about any of somebody fucking the reason I went to all that trouble just now is because somebody on, I don't remember his Twitter, Instagram, he was Twitter was like, uh, you're right a lot, but you're wrong on this. No, not. Yeah. And there you're receipts. Uh, by the way, breaking news here, Dean Phillips, uh, just dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden for president. I was who? Unaware that he was running against Joe Biden was unaware of that. Uh, I did see the Phillips at the bottom of the, the lower thirds on the news and shit, but I didn't know his first name until now. Oh shit. Today's an international women's day was a really fucking cares. Yeah. Celebrate the true women out there. All right. I'll go to porn. Hold on. Yeah. I was, I was going to say, uh, fuck, what's that dude's name? Hope solo. We got to celebrate Hope solo is asshole today. People are pissed, uh, in the message boards that I'm in a one shot and I cover upper asshole. So boom, there you go. You're able to see it. Yeah. They were like, man, when you have another guest on your side, it's great. So we can stare directly into our asshole the whole time. Um, that second one, Bob, the, uh, the thumbnail, are we allowed to show that you think? This shows on YouTube, by the way. Oh, it is. Okay. Well, God, just that face right there that she's making, um, are those two dicks next to her head? Bob, is that what that is? Where? Is that an arm? Those are arms. Uh, the girl with the dicks come later. Really wide mouth there. You got one of those dental things in. No shit. Oh, it's to hold your mouth open so people can fucking jam shit in there. Yeah, man, I was unaware that they did that. What a brilliant use of that, uh, tool. I've obviously had that in my mouth at the dentist off there it is. If something exists, people will you find a way to use it fucking, that's just a fact right there. So Easter eggs, fucking dental tools, it doesn't matter what it is. I mean, the picture that makes me laugh this hard in a long time, dude, just because it is International Women's Day. This should be the poster for it of like a happy International Women's Day. I was going to say Dylan Mulvaney. I was. Do you see this? Do you see that dudes doing stand up comedy now? Come on. Oh, yeah. Come on. It is fucking brutal. Jesus Christ. Uh, we're all this, this whole country is going down down. It's all fucking going down. Let's face it. But this gives me hope, Bob, right here. Look, is it GB chief? What is she called? I don't know. But like if the country goes down in flames, we're just going to an eye hopple bees, putting this on a hunker down. How do you know what's on an apple hop? Oh shit. I mean, you know, I branding wise, apple hop would make more sense to me because then you're going to have a fucking rabbit. That's the mascot. I don't think either place has a mascot right now. No, no, Applebee's mascot is a 46 year old divorced woman that's trolling for hog at the bar. You know what I mean? It's hurt right here in this picture. I wish we could show this picture. You can show that picture. There's nothing happening. Yeah, there's nothing happening. I will not hit play. Hang on. Delco, you make the final call. Not he put it up. Yeah, there's nothing on there. Okay. My hands are no, my hands are nowhere near the mouse or keyboard. Happy international women. But take it off. Because I'm afraid to pop up. Yeah. Keep going. Okay. Okay. Boom. Good to go there.
