"What was he going to testify against? Probably that they were making these things way too fast." "Nobody, they were like, 'Oh, hey man, all the screws, we hired dyslexic people to put them on the plane.'" "He worked there for 32 years?" "Did he really?" "Really?" "Yeah." "32 years." "He retired in 2017." "In 2010, he was a quality manager at the North Charleston plant, which my mom used to work at actually." "Really?" "Yeah, she was a parts buyer where they were making the 787, the one that I don't think they're functioning right now, right?" "Yeah, they shut it down." "They've been pulled entirely?" "Yeah, they shut them down." "In 2019, he told BBC that under pressure workers had been deliberately fitting substandard parts to aircraft on the production line. He also said he had uncovered serious problems with the oxygen systems, which could mean one for breathing mass would not work in an emergency. He said soon after starting work in South Carolina became concerned that the push to get new aircraft built meant the assembly process was rushed and safety was compromised, and the company ignored or denied if that was at the time in 2019. And since then, that whole 787 thing has been more or less scrapped. I don't know if they're back in service now, but they shut them down for a while. He later told BBC that workers had failed to follow procedures and tended to track components through the factory, allowing defective components to go missing, right? So, you're doing a QC on a nut or a bolt or a panel or something like that, and you see some blemish or some kind of deformity in it. You mark it. I don't know how they do it. Maybe put a sticker on it. Maybe put it in a separate section. Maybe if it's a serialized part, you would record that serial number. This part's defective. It needs to be fucking deadlined or whatever the fuck. He said in some cases, substandard parts had been removed from scrap bins and fitted to planes that were being built to prevent delays on the production line. He also claimed to test on the emergency oxygen systems to be fitted on the 787 showed a fairly rate of 25%, which he said that. Yeah. He said he alerted managers to the concern, but nobody took them seriously. Boeing denied the assertions, but after a 2017 review by US regulators, the FAA did uphold some of his concern to establish that the location of at least 53 quote non-conforming parts in the factory was unknown and that they were considered lost, which probably means they're on planes, right? Yes. There are other parts on active planes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He accused the company of denigrating his character in blah, blah, blah. Maybe he can sue in the New York court for $83 million. Wow. Yeah. He's dead now. I can't do that anymore. At the time of his death, he had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to the case. Last week, he gave a formal deposition, which he was questioned by Boeing's lawyers. He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday, which did appear, so they did health and welfare and found him dead in his truck from what BBC calls a quote, self-inflicted, end quote gunshot wound. So BBC put that in quotations. And so we're clear for the audience here. BBC is the British network, not big black cock, right? I don't know. Okay. Okay. But this seems obviously very, very fishy. Boeing has been going through their shits. The stock is nose dived. Nailed it. Had to say it. Well, yeah. I mean, on Monday, a 787 dreamliner, the one that we talked about yesterday on fake news, plunged, plunged, injured 50 some people. Did you see the wheels come off that plane? Bob, you have that video of the wheel flying off the fucking plane. Oh, no, we're buffering. We're buffering? Yeah, we're buffing. Oh, man, big shock. We're buffering hard, dude. I'm going to get killed in my fucking truck today. No, let's see this fucking thing. Yeah, put it up there. Fuck these guys. Yeah, I don't give a shit. This is United. Fuck. I'm on United Thursday night. Same. Are you? Oh, I'm American. On Thursday night? Yeah, I think America, I don't even know. Thirty six hours. If I get killed on a 36 hour trip, I'm going to be pissed. Is this a 787, or what is this? This is another, this is all the airlines, by the way, and we'll get into their troubles. Well, one specifically that we talked to, so the FAA is investigating Boeing for the 787 dreamliner, especially right now, specifically rather. This is the one that this particular dude was going to go testify again, again. And now he's dead. And the one on the one's literally, yeah, that's what we were talking about yesterday. But the one that suddenly dipped in altitude and fucked a bunch of people up, that was a 787 dreamliner. It was a technical error, not turbulence. That that was a 737 max right there. But also another Boeing, right? So like it's the same thing. Now, a preliminary federal investigation revealed that Boeing probably did not put the bolts in the so-called door plug that are designed to prevent that part from blowing off the plane. Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. They were busy, Dan. They had a lot going on. They probably opened up one of those new Taco Bells over there, you know, where they get the bars inside. What are you going to do, man? Like if it's between the safety of the 180 some people on that plane or a Mexican pizza and a cheesy Gordita crunch, yep. Sorry. Those people got to die. You just got to die. I got to die. Although they fucked up the Mexican pizza again, I'm told. I haven't had one in a while, but somebody did. And I'm told that it's gross again. I'll go back. I'll go back. Last time I had one was with you Bob, pull up a TMZ. So they interviewed one of those passengers who was on that flight that dipped and Homeboy says he got injured there. And obviously he's probably going to sue because of it, but he is doing interviews about what happens. I'm sure, by the way, that it's just a coincidence. We haven't had any internet troubles in a month or so. Yeah, I'm sure we immediately started talking about this giant corporate company fucking people over so they died. It's like, oh, excuse me. I mean, we even started getting subscribers on YouTube again this week. I know. RPR went out, went on without a hitch, you know. We were totally fine this morning. And now we start talking about somebody getting suicided and then whoopsies. The cash is running up here. There we go. That's the one Bob. So this guy says the nose dive was like Exorcist and he shares photos of the injury here. That's not it, Bob. No, that's just the ads playing before the video. Well, no free ads. We don't have ads on Patreon. That's why you subscribe to Patreon. You don't get it. They said this headline is fucking stupid. Nose dive was like the Exorcist. What the fuck does that mean? Well, we're going to find out because the guy did an interview. I have not watched it. It just popped up. And I want to see what happens here. And allegedly, there's some photos of the injuries. We really have a dumb society. I know. I love it. I love it. Always on CNN. Okay, perfect. Play this. You can only imagine the trauma is a terrifying incident. Anybody describe to me exactly what happened? You're flying along, I think in your case, you dozed off. And then what? Yeah, thank you. It was like a scene out of a movie, when actually you're actually in the movie. I had dozed off and luckily had my seat belts engaged. And the next thing you know, the plane, as I've kind of learned to understand, dropped something to the effect of 500 feet instantly. And then had the effect of it coming like a roller coaster and then started to point down. And that's when I opened my eyes and there was various individuals at the top of the plane. Just, oh, I see the roof. Oh, like I just realized I'm not in a movie. This is why I say, why I say this, though, why not say change money? It's for real on the ceiling. That's way creepier. Yeah, dude. Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the floor. This would have been pretty rad to see in real life here, but I'm sure there's going to be some lawsuits out of it. What airline was this? That's a great question. It was that plane, though. It was the seven years from Australia to New Zealand. Oh, Auckland. That's it. They're rocking in Auckland. So it was probably not an American play. Maybe I should show up to the airport on Thursday with a helmet on. Why not? What are you going to saw? Tell me you're going retard on it. No, I'm going full, like fast helmet, like with one of my night visions on. Oh, okay. Maybe I'll keep it. I'll put the night vision on there, too. All right. And I'll keep it down the whole time. Just in case. Yeah. I'm going to wear one of those soft helmets on Thursday and I tarred it up a little bit just so I can get on the plane early, you know? Passengers with special needs. They don't check that. I'm special. You don't like the last. Let's see. Where was I flying to? I don't remember where I was going. I think it was when I went to St. Louis the last time. Um, standing in line and like, oh, does anybody need extra help getting on the plane? And it was like 30 black people that had no injuries at all. Sure. They just like, all you do is say on the fuck when you're buying your ticket that you need extra help. That's it. Yeah. But I, I think Dan, we know that black people need extra help on the plane. No. Why would they need extra help? They just do. Okay, Dan, they just do. Um, I don't think so. I have no idea. I've, uh, we'll, we'll take the kids on there like because we got three of them. And that's a, that's a rough one there. And we got the United. We got the United. Are you really? No. You fucker. Where are you going? To your mom's house. Oh, shit, dude. My mom's house is full. Yeah. Well, it's going to be with my dad. I'm sleeping with Jerry. She's sleeping at a couch. Jerry and I are going to get fucking wrecked. Yeah. I'm not. I hate that town. Why not, dude? Light it up. Yeah. Go to brunch, just drink some hard AFs. Um, the, uh, the other crazy shit that's going on right now is, uh, this trial with Bob, you, you didn't know he was Asian? I did not know Robert Herr was Asian. You did not know Robert Herr was Asian. Play a clip of him talking first. I, I'm with you, Bob. I'm not going to shit on you today because of this. He talks very, very much. I mean, what did you expect it to sound like? Oh, yeah. I expected it to be like, Oh, before we put the video up, we'll just hear him first. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. That's nice. Oh, I skipped this stupid bitches voice a little. I'm trying to find one that's actually him fucking talking. It's all these. It starts, it's technically not that one, but she told him to shut up. Here we go. It starts with 30 seconds of, Oh, I think it's how it went. Yeah. I think it's a lot like, pretty identical. Or that you use exoneration. That is not a word that I'm going to continue with my questions. I'm going to continue with my questions. I know that the term, I ultimately reached, I know that the term evidence exists in the likely outcome. You, you exonerated conviction. At least it was in Southern. So he, he mentioned, it's always sunny in Philadelphia. There's a fucking episode where, I don't know, they had seen the latest Indiana Jones movie that had come out. So they wanted to go find relics and take them to a museum and there was a whole battle. It was during season seven, I believe, because Fat Mac, it was Fat Mac. And they don't ever see any of the people until the very last scene. They broke into a house. Yeah. They broke into somebody's house because they saw a vase for sale or some shit. Yeah. And they were like, Oh, it's a relic. We've got to take it back and put it in the museum or whatever it just retards, right? Yeah. And everybody's speaking with a deep Southern accent. Danny DeVito's character has a whip and he's like, just keeps whipping in the house and shit. But anyways, they finally go downstairs. Like, why don't we just walk right out of here? They're not even going to notice they're in there arguing. And they walk past the living room and it's fucking four Asian two, three Asian adults and those kid. And it's like a deep Southern accent, all of them. So I think that would be jarring, to be honest. I don't like Southern accents at all. I think it's, it's horrible to listen to. Good news. It's disappearing. It is disappearing. Yeah. Well, that's great. I appreciate that. But anyways, yeah, it's really funny. This guy, that's a normal adult male voice though. I didn't, that's not very jarring to me. No, but it's seeing how Asian he is is the jarring part where you're like, yeah, but he's American. No, but he's, I'm still growing up here. He's not fucking like, what do you think is with the deal? Oh, you rookie star. Like I want accents are not genetic. You're not born with it. And I want every sentence to start with Mr. Her. Can you tell me what Mr. Biden told you on the night of April 21. Maybe if you grew up in a traditional household and they were teaching you whatever language, I don't know what kind of Asian he is. But I just want to all of his other Korean or Chinese because that's where the name comes from. That's the other thing too. I didn't know her, like that doesn't sound like an Asian last name to me. Robert is a is Asian. Her H you are the Robert part. No, her is a is a definitely an Asian last name. It's H you are, I'd never heard H you are. Yeah, it's a it's a Chinese word. This guy, I think all of his answers start like that. So pop on pop on some of the the hits here today. So he's on the Hill testifying. Well, here's one against classified documents. There was one in particular one back and forth that I really enjoyed. He's just been lighting people up. By the way, it's a Bob DM Twitter. This isn't this is an audio. I'm just going to read it to you. Okay, actually, you know what it is? Yeah. You can go to my Twitter and I reposted it if you want to find it quickly. It's by Kaniko, Kaniko, the great. I just reposted below that right there. Since we're found at the Penn Biden Center, that's correct. They were found in President Biden's garage in Wilmington, Delaware. Yes. And in his basement, Dan? Also in the same home. Yes. And the major and his main floor office. Correct. And his third floor, Dan. Correct. At the University of Delaware. Correct. And at the Biden Institute. Correct. And the elements of the crime for this, I mean, we can't we get into all of this, but the elements, the crime are pretty simple, right? The president president Biden had under unauthorized possession of a document writing or note. That's correct. And that the document writing or no. No, no, no, if we may talk about the willfully part here in a second, retain the document writing or note and failed to deliver it to an employee or officer entitled to receive it. Correct. There is a willfulness intent element, as you say. And but those are the elements of the crime, including the intent element. Yes. And there are at least two different quotes, right, where he told his gross writer, and this is in your report in a matter of fact, and this is February 16, 2017, that he had just found all this classified stuff downstairs. He did make that statement that was captured on an audio recording. And on April 10, 2017, Biden read aloud a classified passage related to a 2015 meeting in the situation room. That is in the report, yes. And these are national security documents, Afghanistan, I mean, has been mentioned a whole bunch of those things, right? Correct. And at one point in time, his personal attorneys and the DOJ attorneys argued about notes taking all of the different things and compared it to Reagan. I'm sorry. Could you repeat that, Congressman? President Biden's attorneys, personal attorneys, talked about the notes and why they didn't actually account for the Presidential Records Act. But you did. I mean, you found that argument. In your report, it seems a little persuasive, but you eventually said no, the executive order trumps, right? We did conduct. We did set forth an analysis of the governing law and ultimately concluded that the executive order 13526 does apply and did govern former vice president Biden at the time. So you have audio recording from his ghost writer where the president acknowledges that the information he has is classified and he's sharing with his ghost friend. We have an audio recording capturing a statement from Mr. Biden saying to his ghost writer in February of 2017, quote, "I just found all the classified stuff downstairs." End quote. And then again, reciting passages from a meeting in the situation. Yes. And those are in President Biden's own words. Correct. Right. So he's again, the ghost writer has no classified, he has no clearance, no classified clearance to anything, correct? That is our understanding that Mr. Zwanitzer was not authorized to receive classified information. Okay. So the elements are possessed documents, the documents related to national defense and willfully retain those documents. And in this case, shared them with somebody who was not allowed to receive them. There are different subsections of 18 USC 773, one subsection relates to the willful retention and another relates to disclosure of national defense information. Well, I mean, the willful retention, we've got the Penn Biden center, the garage, the basement den, the main floor office, the third floor den, the university at Delaware and the Biden Institute. We have 50 year career of a person who has not been very great at dealing with classified documents throughout, even prior to his time as vice president when he was in the US Senate, right? We do address each set of those documents in the report, Congressman. So the difference, but I think this is really important because the difference is it appears just from reading the report. He has been, and we heard all about exonerated and all those different things. It appears from the report. He met every actual element of the crime. Yeah. So that's what I can't figure out when I was watching this this morning. Trump is currently on trial for this. Why isn't Biden? I don't know. I haven't heard that from Robert her yet. I don't know. I'm certain that somebody is asking them. I just haven't seen a clip of it during this from a Republican. I would imagine that a Republican said that maybe this guy specifically when he went on, because they only get up five minutes to question, but that's Armstrong from North Dakota. I assume because he's an attorney, so he's laying out all the elements of it being a crime, right? Right. Like the executive order that made it one, the fact that Biden didn't have the statutory authority to declassify, the fact that he had classified documents in seven separate locations, the fact that he was aware that they were there as of what February of 2017, because that's what he told on audio tape to his fucking ghost writer, that he shared classified information out of his own fucking mouth with the ghost writer, right? These are all like elements of criminal activity. So the question is, why has he not been charged with a crime? Because he should be he should be on trial right now, but he's not. He should at a minimum, he should be getting impeached in the house right now. Sure for that. But you know, I don't understand why he's not when when you watch shit like this, like I don't know if you realize it's a two tier justice system. Well, I don't know if her is doing the right thing because the right thing is to let the voters decide November and then maybe prosecute after, right? That's the right thing to do. It's not to use the legal system to try to upset the electoral system. So maybe he's just the only guy in fucking Washington DC that has any character at all, frankly, right? And I'm fine. And I'm fine with that. Yeah, maybe we'll see what happens here. You know, my thoughts and feelings on this, and I've been pretty vocal about it. No, every every well, that too. Well, I like yellow. I mean, look, I'm not going to do that today, but every president in the history has taken classified documents and all that other shits. I realized Biden was not president at the time. I believe he was VP. But you know, you could go back to Obama, Bush, all these fucking guys and do it. I think the reason why this is a big deal today is because Trump is literally being charged for it right now. And Jack Smith wants to get we got to get a trial going versus her statement of this is a very senile old man who doesn't remember a lot of things can't recall a lot of things and shouldn't be charged with this. And he doesn't think a jury would be able to find him guilty because of how old he is and how bad his memory is. So what are we doing down in Florida? Like, why are we not just kicking that case down the curb? And I just don't see how Trump's lawyers aren't arguing this. I'm sure they are behind the scenes. But what's this display for here today? Is this to actually do something or just get it out into the public knowledge? Bob, do you know? Do you know what committee this is? I'll check. Because that's that's what I'm trying to figure out. The other interesting part to this as far as the Biden crime family narrative is concerned is I got into it with somebody back and forth on Twitter and and they said Hunter did actually sit for his deposition on March 1st. I was unaware of that. That story was buried. It's the House Judiciary Committee. Okay. So the the most powerful of all the committees, right? Yeah. Judiciary typically. So what would what would come out of this as a and result here? I don't know. I don't know who's the chair of the House Judiciary. It's going to be some Republican I would imagine. Is it a repute? It has to be because they're the majority party. Okay. Well, that's that's not technically true. But Jim Jordan. Yeah, Jim Jordan got you. Yeah. So yeah, I don't know. I mean, I might have this is I don't usually watch these hearings. I usually just kind of read the watch the clips later on with you. This is on C span. I don't watch these. Well, I may end up having to watch all of this just to see if somebody eventually asks this motherfucker, what did you really not decide to prosecute a guy because he's fucking too senile to stay in trial. It's like, no, I mean, that's not okay. Like if that's the only reason, that's not okay. If like, well, are they saying he's old and he didn't know? That's for a judge to decide not for a prosecutor to decide. Right. Like a prosecutor's job is to bring a case against them if the facts suggest the facts are there. It's the judge's decision if the guys fit to see in trial or not. Yeah. So I agree. But I look, neither of these should be there at this point. And I think, you know, the why the Republicans are going hard is for the simple fact that they did it against Trump. And he's on fucking trial for it and has to pay for this goddamn shit. So as far as I can remember, I think that trial is supposed to go forward, Bob, down in Florida. Yeah, like two weeks from now. Yeah, I believe it's at the end of the month. I want to say March 26, perhaps Trump somewhere yesterday, Trump likely to attend hearing and classified documents case on Thursday. So scheduled to start March 25th. But I guess there's a hearing prior to the start of the trial. Okay. That's interesting, because now at what point does the Supreme Court get involved here? What what you already have the Republican nominee, this Haley's dropped out. The Supreme Court doesn't have the ability to reach down and grab a case that hasn't been adjudicated yet. Not that. But at what point are you putting a president on trial who's running for office? I mean, they're doing it right now. But do you think it's going to go? There's been some speculation that they're asking the Supreme Court to have all this push until after the election, because it's election. Seattle, this is something that's out. I don't know. I don't know how that works. I didn't I wasn't aware if it is the case that the Supreme Court can push a lower court case before it's referred to them. Okay, like they're not I'm to my understanding is that they're not the monitor of all the court systems throughout the country, necessarily, like the Fifth Circuit controls the Fifth Circuit. And if they're wrong, and it gets referred to SCOTUS, then they'll fucking pick it up and change the ruling. But I don't know that they can reach down to a federal court and tell them to fuck off. So is he going to have to go to call your mom and ask her? Yeah, I'm live on a for real, not don't actually call your mom, but for real, we need to talk to the attorney about that because I don't know. I would have to think no, but I will I'm trying to find an answer. I can't find one because this trial is going to fuck up everything. He's he's won. He's won the nomination. And then how long would this trial take? Well, he hasn't won the first of all, you don't win the nomination, right? Like you the at the well, don't you have to have I think in the Republican parties, this is a certain amount of electoral votes. Technically, that's true. Yeah, but they don't that's that's non binding. So at the last minute, could he get switched out for somebody? Yeah, so the state parties appoint delegates to vote. Basically, so you could take control of the state party, fire, or the delegates and tell them to vote for somebody else, easily enough, or the RNC can just say who they want to be the nominee, but he will be. There's no stopping them now. Yeah, yeah, not at all. I'm just saying that that's not those those that's a non binding situation. And we got some breaking news here. Colorado repute Congressman Ken Buck. Oh, Ken Buck naked is abruptly leaving Congress calling the institution a dysfunctional mess that has dissolved, sorry, devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people. That's what they're supposed to do. And then he just bounced, they're supposed to argue and find small points of intersection and not like when when they say this is the most dysfunctional Congress ever, right? Yeah, that's what I've heard. What that means is they haven't fucked us. That's what it means to me because when Republicans and Democrats work together, Americans lose. Yeah, I'm looking at it now. His departure Colorado's fourth district district will be resigning and will depart at the end of next week. Yeah, he's really bouncing. So this is an interest. This is a lot of people have been saying I saw this earlier that this he did this specifically at this time to fuck over Lauren Bobert. Maybe yeah, and I don't we're too close the election now for the governor to appoint a replacement luckily there. So that's the thing. So the governor now there has to be a special election. Yeah, because we're far enough out from the general that you can use to by their state law, you have to do a special election or whatever. Yeah, if it's more than six months, I think something like that. Yeah. So Bobert now has to decide if she wants to resign her because she was going to switch over to yeah run for Colorado for she is currently the representative of Colorado three. So now she has to figure out if she wants to immediately resign see it Colorado three and run in a special election for Colorado four or stay or yeah or stay and try to primary something else. It's going to be weird. It's a weird situation. But apparently the whole point is he's fucking Lauren Bobert over any chance that she could take him to a play and jack him off and change his mind. Not my next week depends on the show. Yeah, well, I guess the shows are going every weekend. Yeah, it might not be Beetlejuice again. It'll be it could be Arttown. The issue I suppose is it like if she did that, the house majority goes from two 19 to 13, which is what it is now with three vacant to to if she were to resign as well. My colleague it would go down to two 17 to 13, right? Yeah, which means you only have a four vote swing on anything, which means technically the Congress could pass a lot of fucking weird shit. Yes, Bob, I think it would definitely Congress would absolutely pass Ukraine and Israel funding if that 100%. I sent you a clip. This was his interview here live on CNN moments ago. No, our my colleague Melanie Zenona is reporting that there is such tension among House Republicans that many of them aren't even going to a retreat that's going to happen at the end of this week. Is that tension part of why you're leaving so abruptly? I think this place is dysfunctional. For example, I am the number third ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. I haven't even asked my question yet. 40 50 people have gone before me. But that could be personal. But it could be personal. But a lot of this is personal. That's the problem. Instead of having the quorum, instead of operating in a professional manner, this place has just evolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people. How much are my colleagues? Yeah, of a conservative is to make the government as small as possible. So unless you're talking about that, shut the fuck up. And then they're calling this today's Super Tuesday too. How many states are on the board today? Could this be wrapped up for Trump tonight? votes wise electoral wise? I saw it in the lower third there on that CNN piece there. I was unaware. Obviously, it's been such a blowout on both sides for Republicans and Democrats. We all know that it's Biden Trump that this is not gaining any media coverage whatsoever. Yeah, I mean, today's Alabama last get Georgia. I think Missouri. I don't know. There's a bunch of states today. It's like the second big day. Yeah, okay, Georgia's today. I think so, but I'm not positive. Maybe we'll go live tonight and check and see how Herschel's doing out there. Don't know if he's on the ballot for for anything at all. But this is interesting. This guy, because he seems pretty reasonable in this interview, at least. I don't know him. Obviously, but yes, it is dysfunctional. It's all fucked up. Can we just blow it all up and start over? I don't care. Like, again, I'll say this. The more dysfunction there is in Congress, the better off Americans are. Because nothing gets passed. Correct. Because every bill that gets passed is money out of your fucking pocket, no matter what it is. Well, either money out of your pocket or liberty out of your life. The problem is we do need something for the fucking border here. We definitely don't need a bill that's going to come from that Senate in this fucking party. I agree. Yeah, it's definitely going to get worse between now and between now and next January. So 10 months more of this, at least that we have to deal with. It's going to get worse. But don't make it worse forever. Don't use a permanent solution, which is what a bill will be to a temporary problem. That's fucking stupid. If you don't support this, you're not American. All right, cool, man. Why don't you just follow that Arizona bill, make it legal to shoot illegals when they're coming over the border? Then they'll stop. I promise you they'll stop. Yeah, you're good to go there. As a matter of fact, the military should be at the border right now with drones dropping ordinates on. So did you see that helicopter that crashed with the Border Patrol agent the other day? A couple of dudes died. No, it was the National Guard. It was Border Patrol National Guard. It was a National Guard aircraft with Border Patrol people on it. So two BP guys died. And there's a video on, I think it's probably still on Twitter of two fucking cartel guys like fucking videoing it with a drone and laughing and shit, right? Those two dudes should be dead. Drop a fucking hellfire on those guys. I agree. And if Mexico's got a problem with it, invade us. Yeah. Do something about it. Yeah, you're fucking bitch. Like what the fuck is Mexico going to get to do? Their armies incompetent and corrupt. So like you either control the crime and your country that's spilling over into ours, or we're going to fucking do it for you, right? And that's a war I would support. People have been talking shit about Marjorie Taylor Greene, like, Oh, she the other day, she was talking about dropping bombs on Mexico. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like your Mexico is allowing people from all over the fucking world to mass at their border with us and then cross over our border. And only so the cartel can make money off of it. Yep. That's all they're trying to do right now. That and destabilize our currency. So there's is worth more. That's what's going on right now. Fuck these people. Like you, if somebody pulled their fucking shanty, like fucking house outside of your and parked under curb, like they did in all the neighborhoods in LA from 2015 to 2020, right? Still going on now. Well, now, yeah, certainly, but that's that was the buildup, like five year period. If they were doing that, and then they started like fucking selling drugs and helping people break into your house, you would go out there and shoot them in the fucking face. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it's pretty simple, man. Why couldn't we use drone strikes for some of these cartels? We know they're smuggling them in illegally and drugs and fentanyl and all that other shits. Would that just set off a fucking huge war? Between who and who? That's what I'm saying. Like Mexico is not going to do shit. I don't think they would either. As a matter of fact, Mexico is already supporting these people who are invading our country and killing people. So they want them out of their country. I don't give a shit what they want. There's an ocean on both sides, you bitch. No, I know toss them in. Yeah. I don't give a fuck about Mexico. Do you have that picture of the helicopter? I haven't seen it, Bob. Is that it right there? What's on that post? So I'll go into the I'll go into the news post where they I believe have video of it. But that was just like the cover image. Okay. And what did they take this plane down with? Dan, do you know? I don't know, to be honest, but I'll send you the video, Bob. There we go. Let's see the image. Okay. I'm going to Wow. Airdrop you this fucking video that a BP guy sent me. We get all the cool shit here, which is why you subscribe to Patreon. You actually get to see it over here. We'll probably be suicidal though by the end of the show. Not me, buddy. I feel good right now. So this is two cartel dudes. They sit a couple miles south of the border with drones. So they shot down this helicopter? I don't know if they were involved or not. This is just from their drone. But you know, there's no reason a guy that close to a drone, you're within a mile, right? So that means they're within a mile of the crash. They might be in US territory right there. There's no reason that we can't fly reapers over there with thermal on them and see these assholes and drop fucking bombs on them. I agree. I don't understand why we're not doing that man. I don't get it either. In the scarier part, and I said this the other day on that state of the union thing was, our country just can't withstand another four years of this. Or we'll just be entirely overrun here. A country without borders is not a country. No, no, it is not. What happened to Corey Bush here today? That popped up. Well, she's the dumbest motherfucker alive. Okay, go to Lib's at TikTok. Yeah, I mean, she's just on and play this video. She's on the house. Yeah, yeah. Go to Lib's at TikTok and play this video here. It was posted an hour ago. Yeah, I got it. Hold on. She were for a holy shit. We'll play the video because this statement is crazy. She's legit not qualified to like work at a McDonald's. Lauren Boebert is smarter than this woman. Play this video. And thank you for being here, Mr. Her. St. Louis and I are here today once again to focus on the real issues that affect our communities instead of partisan hit jobs. Let me start by saying that the potential mishandling of classified information is a serious issue. And I believe it was appropriate for the Attorney General to appoint both special councils in the Biden and Trump cases. As my colleagues have pointed out, President Biden fully complied with the investigation conducted by special counsel Her who did not find evidence sufficient to warrant criminal charges. Despite this outcome, Republicans have used the special counsel's report to further their longstanding efforts to re-elect, re-elect the former white supremacist and chief Donald Trump who faces 40 criminal charges related to the mishandling of classified documents, including obstruction of justice. And thank you for being honest to her. Are you allowed to say that, I guess, in Congress? He's a public figure, so you can't sue for defamation. That's former white supremacist in chief. What did he do that was racist against Black people? I don't know, but BET was interviewing people this week. I saw that. And Black people were voting for Trump at an alarming rate. I know. And my friend, Batya Unger-Sargent, who is the deputy opinion editor at Newsweek. You may have seen her on Bill Maher two weeks ago. She's been talking about this a lot. This has always been about class warfare, it's always been like that throughout all of human history. I've talked about this many times. The patrician class will always pit that one, they'll protect the patrician class before anything else, before any particular ideology. And two, they will always try to pit the plebs against one another. The race thing is not working anymore. Nobody buys it anymore. They look around. They're like, "Okay, this isn't really happening." The white, rural person who used to make up 65% of this country makes up about 30% of it now. But still, there's this narrative that that person is the most dangerous person in America to our quote-unquote democracy, which is not even a real thing. It's nonsense, right? Nobody buys it anymore, and black people are starting to vote. So you're going to start seeing the weirdest shift in electoral politics in this cycle that we've ever seen before, I think. Black and brown people are going to vote for Trump. Not the majority of black people, we're sure. Maybe brown people though, like Mexicans, Hispanic folks and Latinos, they may vote for Trump and a majority. But then white suburban people, white suburban women especially, are going to vote Democrat, which is nothing that's not particularly new, right? But to a much greater degree. And then the wealthy used to vote pretty Republican. And now the wealthy are like, "Oh, I see the leftist who are going to protect us from this stuff." No matter how much they talk about taxing the rich, when do they ever do it? Never. Never, right? If you make less than 250,000 a year, your taxes won't go up one bit, lie. 400,000 lie, right? But in California and both, and federally as well. There's a new parsing going on in electoral demographics. It's very interesting. And I think it's going to precipitate some conflict now, because people are seeing it. They're seeing that the wealthy are all lining up on one side of the people who actually do the work in this country are lining up on the other. And that is a, that is very foreboding of some kind of conflict. David, we got some sponsors to put the shit wagon on the air.

We'll find out what happens here as this all unfolds, leading up to the election. Because look, everybody in the comments on our YouTube and all that other shits says, look, there's no fucking way we're getting a fair election. Well, I'm actually speaking of that. April 27th here in Austin at the Vulcan, myself, Shane Cashman, who's been on the show before, Destiny, who a lot of people have heard of, he's a political commentator, are going to be discussing election security and whether or not we even have a, like, if there's even possibility of having a fair election in November. That said, on minds.com, you can find that information. And then there's going to be a bunch of other stuff. Tim, pool, and his guys are going to be there for a thing later on the evening. Jimmy Doar's going to do comedy. Laura Chan's going to do comedy. It's like a whole day's worth of stuff. And that's cool. Yeah. What day is it again? April 27th, here at the Vulcan in Austin. Great. Matter of fact, we'll probably, I'll just say it now. I've got two tickets for it. Two tickets to Paradise. And for next month's Robox gift, it'll be that. Okay. But you've got to make your way here. We're not paying for you. So if you're in the area, if you're in the area, if you want to be, yeah, I'll give you two tickets to it because they're like 270 bucks each. Yeah. We'll find out. By the way, the going back to that Ken box thing real quick, I guess the reason why that's a big deal is the Democrats think they'll be able to sneak their own speaker, the house in there, since the margins getting pretty thin there, as far as Republicans and all that other shit. Maybe. Yeah. Yep. It's Jeffries that came. Jeffries is the guy. I would assume that would be the guy. Yeah, but I mean, they still have to get some like, I think Republicans will act together to not let that happen. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see though. And then the backlash here on CNN says, now that this is over, that her thing just wrapped up, the testimony by him. Republicans attacked Biden as they pressed her on his decision not to prosecute. Democrats criticized her for comments about Biden's memory. It wasn't comments about his memory. He's, he played, he just posted the fucking transcripts. Yeah. Of him asking Biden questions, Bob sent me, Bob fucking put that shit up very quick. Bob sent me a thing earlier. It's like three straight pages of Biden just rambling about cars during a goddamn deposition. And he couldn't get him to fucking get back on track. I'll read it to you. It was really funny. It's fucking, it would be funny if the guy wasn't the goddamn president. Sure. It would be hilarious. If it was your uncle or something, like you would show it to your friend, you would show the tech senior feel like, look at this fucking asshole. Yeah. But no, he's in charge of our nukes. So that's particularly funny. Read aloud, Bob. In which president Biden engages in a long discussion about cars, as Robert her tries unsuccessfully to get him back on track twice, according to the transcript, the president, quote, makes car sound. What? Like room room or like a room. Was he brappin? Was he brappin it up or was he just room room in it? Let's see. Does it say the car noise in the deposition? I'll see you here. See, this is, if I was in Congress, that's the only question I would have. Yep. Like Mr. Her, thank you for coming today. Yep. Could you please tell me what the car sound was exactly he made? It was a vroom vroom. How do you know he's not talking like Owen Wilson or the cable guy, right? True. So I guess Mr. Crickbaum is another associative probably her. Crickbaum. Yeah. All right. All right. I guess he works with her or whatever. Got it. That makes sense. A beautiful car, president Biden. And the worst part was they said I couldn't drive it outside the driveway. It's a long driveway. So I'd get to the bottom of the driveway, tack it up to about four grand, makes car sound. You think I'm kidding? I'm not. We believe you, says Mr. Crickbaum. Mr. Her, I believe you. Yes. Mr. Biden, or president Biden, probably one of the best parts of being vice president president. I get to drive all these, you know, electric vehicles. I have a damn that quick. Huh. I'm gonna see if I can find the other car. So if I look, if I'm charged with a crime, that's exactly the way I'm going about fucking my deposition. Yeah. 100%. Like, just like bring up any, whatever it is, and I'm going full on a lot of P of the whole time. Here's the other car sound. Let's see. President Biden, you step your foot on the accelerator all the way down. Mr. Her. Whoa. President Biden, until he gets to about six, seven grand. Then all of a sudden it will say launch. And all you do is take your foot off the brake, makes car sound laughter. Mr. Her, it's on my bucket list. It's on my bucket list. God, I wish we had the audio of this. You know, like what? Yeah. But I mean, is he making combustion car sounds? Because he was talking to electric cars. I know. Or is he talking about? They don't make a lot of noise. Or is he doing like a we like wearing noise that sounds more of the electric or some shit? I'm not sure. What is, what does it sound like in plaid when you fucking crank up the RPM before you start, before you actually press the accelerator or whatever? Does it make a noise? Not really. Like they don't make very much noise at all. No, until they start moving, right? Even a fucking Prius isn't making a goddamn noise. So you can't hear that thing. So who knows? But what a wild time and imagine sitting here having to do this fucking thing. I look the rest of it makes sense. He probably thinks everybody else is crazy right now. For sure. He said all this stuff, Robert, her, I mean, he wrote, he recorded all this stuff about how Biden is not at any way lucid at all. And he's just like rambling about nonsense. And he puts it out there as like, all right, here you go. And then people are like, oh, he's like, no, I mean, really, dude, you should probably look into this shit. Oh fuck, dude. Yeah, because if this Trump thing ends up going down to Miami, they're going to lead with all of this. Like, what the fuck? What the fuck? Trump should just do that. Just stop answering question and only do car noises from now on. Why not? Why not? At this point, you know, I would like a brat, brat, though. I would like a dirt bike noise. What do you think a car noise would sound like from Trump? Whoosh, whoosh, Bobby, got anything. I have audio of him making a car noise would be great. Let's see. Great. CNBC, by the way, interviewed him the other night. Who did the interview with Biden right after that state of the union? Where he said they weren't illegals. They were undocumented. It was MSNBC. Because that's the craziest. Pelosi was on that night. She was on MSNBC. Yeah, he should have said undocumented. Well, he went back and said it. Yeah. Yeah, I made a mistake and I should have said undocumented. It was like, no, no, you definitely shouldn't have. They're illegal. They're in this country illegal. It's no person's illegal. Like, well, somebody that's committing a crime. Yeah, it's illegal. It's illegal to be here. That's what it means. And then that's Georgia case here is, is still in the balance for Fannie Willis. Oh, Fannie, Fannie. What are we going to get an answer to this goddamn thing? I don't know, man. One would think this would be over by. Yeah. I mean, they may be delaying that one, too. So it's not too embarrassed to party. Which one? The Democratic one. The one you're going to have to delay it fucking eight months then. Maybe they will. You think so? Or just push the well, Trump will be answered or push the case either way. So who gives a shit? Let's see. Oh, shit. It says he has promised a decision by Friday. Okay, here we go. So this Friday, we should get something in that. That'll be fun. Which way do you think that one's going to swing? I think she's going to jail. And she's getting disbarred. I mean, that like, from everything I've heard, I don't see how they don't disbar and imprison her, or at least disbarment, termination, and restitution at a minimum, right? What's the restitution? All those expenses, she rang up? Okay. Gotcha. But I mean, like they need to do, and I'm sure, well, I'm not sure. You would think that there's some kind of forensic accounting going on, right? Trying to marry bank accounts to cash expenditures and shit like that. And then, you know, quantify all that with the testimony. Because in that testimony, there was the cash that was involved was allegedly like $15,000. That's what he said. And which is fine. But then where's the other 700,000 of it? And that's where things are going to get tricky for the two of them there. Does she strike you as the type of person that's smart enough to not leave a digital trail? No, no, she is a fucking moron. Yeah, she's a tarred man. So the mongo. The judge here, McAfee in this case, said in order like this takes time to write, there's a lot I have to go through. And I'm calling as best as I can in the law, as I can to understand it here. So have fun with that. He's what the fuck? He's only 34 this guy? No way. The prosecutor? No, the judge. Wow, that's pretty young for a judge. Look at how old he looks. He's bald as shit. Pull up Judge McAfee. Maybe that's how he got the job. They didn't be. They didn't nobody asked. Nobody looked at how old he looks fucking 50 years old. That's crazy. This old bald fuck is only 34 years old. Damn. He should wear a hat. Well, you can't check why not your judge. It's your courtroom. You do whatever the fuck you want. What would it be like a pope? Yeah, where? That was so dope. Can you imagine you're fucking you want going to court one day for like a traffic offense or something? And homeboy walks out in the powdered wig. I wouldn't be like, dude, you do whatever you want. I'm just here for fucking party. Can I stay after, by the way? You're gonna please send someone to death today. That's what I want to see. Todd feather. It's basically like a catch 22 situation, right? Where a major major gets promoted. They just think he's a major. Yeah. So they just put him in the position. Why not? Yeah, 22 year old kid. Lastly here, Bob. Nick Saban gave an interview with with Ted Cruz today. If you could pull that he was on Capitol Hill. He was. Yeah. So all this is going on at the same time. So the her thing. Why is Robert her stable? I don't know. And I L stuff. It just popped up in my my. Yeah, here you go. Good. Before you start this, why is he with Ted Cruz? If you had to guess Nick Saban, Republican or Democrat, like for real. Probably. Well, I don't know how he feels about Trump, but I guarantee you he's a lifelong Republican vote. Yeah, sure is. Yeah, I got I get that sense that he's probably a Trump agnostic Republican. Yep. Yep. Yep. Go ahead and press play here. This is right in regards to NIO. Yeah. Yeah. All the things that I believed in for all these years, 50 years ago, we can look no longer exist in college athletics. So it's always about development players. It was always about helping people moving more successful in life. My wife even said to me, we'd have all the recruits over on Sunday with their parents for breakfast. And she would always meet with the mothers and talk about how she was going to help and impact their sons and how they would be well taken care of. And she came to me, you know, like right before I retired and said, why aren't we doing this? And I said, what do you mean? She said, all they care about is how much you're going to pay them. They don't care about how you're going to develop them, which is all what we've always done. So why are we doing this? Well, all the things that I believe. Okay. Look, there's absolute truth in that statement. I don't have a problem with that. Some people are coming after Nick Saban saying it's sad and he's embarrassing himself. Why? No, NIL and college football completely change the game. Players are trying to unionize right now. It's going to become its own league. I really think so there these you've seen that show ballers, right? But that's a real scenario where a lot of former players have, I guess you would call it like financial consulting or mentorship organizations that pick up players when they become rookies, get big deals and try to help them develop brands and all this other bullshit and not waste all their money will pay and do it. Avoiding Floyd Mayweather activities, which is like making like on average, if you take the fights, he's making like 70 million a year, basically, right? Because he'll make 300 million for a fight, not fight for two or three years, right? But having 100 people on staff that are making a $100,000 a year, for example, and that's a fact. He had, I don't know if he still does it or not, but for a while, that was his fucking situation, like this weird employee that like his landscaper is making a $100,000 a year. Yeah. The landscaper for the strip club in Vegas was making a $100,000 a year. It's like, what the fuck are you doing? Yeah. But you're going to have to, I mean, to Nick's point, you're going to have to like move that backwards in time a little bit. Like there needs to be and it can't be somebody affiliated with the university because technically they're management, right? If it's a unionized situation. So you need people who are fucking in these kids' ears who are 18 years old or getting paid for the sometime 17, as is the case with, what's his not from Texas? Quinn Ears. Quinn Ears, yeah. It's like, and who's taking care of those guys? I know. Because I mean, I, that that's a legit from a parent. If I was like a parent of a, if I was a poor person, my kid goes to college, he's great, right? Yeah. He's about to make a bunch of money. And he's never seen money before. And he's got a bunch of dickhead friends. I'm really worried about that. Because he'll go Henry Ruggs or he'll do something fucking stupid, right? Yeah. And you want to hope to reign in their finances and at least teach him. Here's the proper way to do things and everything else. There's a really funny comment on Twitter. Said whoever said Mr. Saban while interviewing him on Congress instead of coach Saban deserves immediate jail time. Yeah. That's true. I only, I only, of Congress, I think at least. Yeah. It's a $35,000 fine, I believe for content to crown Congress. When I interview Bobby Knights, I only called him coach for some reason. Because he's a goddamn coach. I know. It's an honorific title. I, I feel like it is for the, for the greats. Or it's not an honorific. It's a legit title. Um, yeah, I don't know. That seems weird. Fuck when you, even when we were chatting with the urban Meyer and, and try and Jim Tressel, I called them coach. It's so strange, isn't it? Hey, what's up coach? Sorry about this. Sorry. But yeah, this, this is going to continue to grow. We were getting involved in NIL as well. I don't think there's any stopping it is the problem now. No, of course not. She's out of the bottle nor nor nor should they be like it does. Just, just because there are downstream issues from, from this doesn't mean that the kids shouldn't get compensated for their name, image, and liking this in work. Correct. Fucking stupid. That's a, that's a horrible, and I don't know if Nick Saban's making that argument or not. He might be because he's a fucking old Philistine, to be honest. But if that's the argument, he is a fucking idiot, frankly. But just because that problem exists, like, no, let's build a mentorship program and help solve that problem. Let's do that instead of treating them like slaves. That's the alternative. What the fuck, man? Yeah. And I, and I think that, that is what he's saying here. By the way, just reading some of the comments because this is going on live right now. What he's saying is you've got to have help. You've got to help these guys out and there's got to be a proper way to do it instead of people coming in and asking for cash and all that other shit. Well, maybe he's at start a fucking organization. Well, I genuinely think this will be unionized. I don't know if you saw the NFL, they're pushing for an 18 game schedule now. But he's, but he's not a fucking coaching. He's not a member of management anymore. He's a free agent. So he can start an organization that advises people, right? Like find people like our buddy, Alex Guerrero, for example, does that for a lot of young athletes, especially from Boise State, where he went to college, where he played football. He like fucking rain them in like, Hey, here's how he's a good way to fucking invest some of your money and not hang out with retards. He's doing it for like young NFL players. But there's no reason that you can't do it for kids at or in college. Why not? And you know what, I I probably believe that he will. He's that dude. So I can't think of a better advocate for college football than Nick Saban. And yeah, if he ends up doing something like that, it'll be pretty interesting. Why he's with Ted Cruz of all people, though, is I don't know. I mean, he's a Joe Manchin guy, most of the time, but Joe Manchin and Ted Cruz aren't that far apart, frankly. No, a couple issues here and there. Now's the point of the show we get to the drink of brother week. Who's back there? I see a bunch of booze. Someone was back there. I don't know. Somebody that won't shut the fuck up. Yeah. He's like chatting up Joel in the lobby now. Jesus Christ. But there is a bunch of booze. Get him get him out here, Bob. Yeah. Even I like how Joel never shuts the door either. Yeah. It's like, bro, we can still fucking hear what sound like he hasn't worked in production for the last 20 years. Jesus Christ. Joel, get your shit together. There it is. Come on up, dude. Come on up, friends. Yes. What were you chatting with back there? What were you chatting about? The help? The help? Come on, man. Come on. Welcome to the show, friends. My two kids that were in a fight with my two kids who were in a fight with your two kids were in a fight. Yeah. The one you Saturday? Free Rome. Oh, shit, dude. Yeah. Goddamn. We had some drinks that day. Yeah. Bro. Bro. We had some drinks that we brought the hard AF to burning. So we did, man. Shout out to free Rome brewery for doing it. Man, we got rock that day. Thanks for coming out. I love the hat. You got the drinking bros, St. Patrick's day last year. Yeah. Here we go, dude. Is that time of year? It is that time of year. It's coming up. Tell everybody your name. So Brian Dargelet, go by Darge, retired Apache pilot live in the Northwest San Antonio area. That's awesome, man. Did you go to the full 20? A little more. Really? Just a year more. Okay. It was, I was supposed to retire during the height of COVID and then couldn't do all the things. So they let me stay a couple more months to get that stuff knocked out. Finish it up and be gone with it. Are you amped to be out? Oh, hell yeah. It's crazy these days for those guys, you know. I know. Did you ever think you'd go the full 20 when you first started? No, hell no. No, but I found the way to have fun the whole time. I knew like I got to go to grad school and it put the additional years I had to do for my grad school at Tennessee, put me right at 12. And I knew that was my make or break. I'm getting out or staying in. And unfortunately was having fun at that time. Okay. So stuck around and then like the last couple years was a drudge but just got through it and I ended up like working a lot of the border mission that initially happened when we had title 10 soldiers and Marines going and helping out CBP. Oh, no shit. That was eye opening. So yeah, did you catch the first part of the show here? No, I freaking 290 is still under construction for the past 25 years. Yeah, it's going to continue friends. They're coming right through here next. So Bob, can you pull up that picture for them? We showed it earlier of the helicopter pilot that went down that killed a couple of those guys. There it is. Oh, yeah, the Lakota. Do you know what that is? Yes. Okay. What is that? That's a National Guard Lakota. It's a light utility helicopter that primarily resides in the National Guard. And that's what they do the new training with at Flight School. That's the new helicopter they use at Flight School, Army Flight School. So is this look like an accident that's related to training or was this shot down, you think? I wouldn't. I wouldn't make a guess on that right now. I mean, I haven't seen anything yet. There are some army channels out there. Yep. Like there's a whenever, at least for army aviators, whenever you see an accident, there's a website that a guy runs free of charge called armyaircrews.com and they'll post information as they get it, as they're allowed to release it. And so you can usually see within a day, like, hey, this is where it was at. And after a few days, they'll have like who the service members were if their families want their names to be shared. And then later, as they find out the investigation, like the safety investigation, they'll, you know, if there was a cause determined, they'll put a short blurb that explains that. Gotcha. What a stroke of luck that you're here today, as we were talking about this live on air. Yeah, I looked up the website yesterday. There wasn't any information yet on it. No information yet? Okay. Yeah, because we heard a couple border patrol guys and maybe a couple of national guards. Yeah, guys, those are the two pilots. And probably with the mission they're doing to support CBP, they're doing a lot of that. I know previously they had that when we had, you know, under the last administration and we asked all those active duty service members that go, I know that's what the helicopters were supporting, getting those CBP assets that go be able to detain people and stop them from just crossing freely. How bad is it? Everybody who comes on every border, we always have the same thing and they're just like, Oh, bro, I mean, it was, it was not what was that. Back in 2019, like what those caravans, those first caravans that were coming up and then because I got put in charge of training all the new soldiers and Marines going to go do that support mission. I got would sent to their home station, do a train up with them like, Hey, here's all you have to know about Posse Comitatus because you're a title 10 and soldier and Marine, you can't do certain things on US soil. And so to keep them as safe as possible. And so I would, with the liaison officer from the CBP that was at our headquarters, I was constantly getting new stories for them to add to the training. Or, you know, if I heard something new that he hadn't heard yet, so we were constantly sharing information to make sure everyone was well aware what the heck's going on at that time. But, you know, this is nothing fun. So, yeah. If we don't get Trump back in there, how bad do you think it's going to get? I just don't want to fucking think about shit like that. This is why we drink, man. I don't drink until 2 p.m. on Wednesdays. So, you know, I can't unless you brought something here. Yeah. So, Dan doesn't shoot me. This is actually for Joel to help him with this check language. This is a check plum brandy. Okay. I picked up. So, he, while he works on his check to speak with his frow, you know, this will probably help a little bit because alcohol is always the best dictionary in check. It sure is. It sure is. Who would you like to give a drink a brother or lead to? I'm going to give it to my neighbor who's retired SAPD got me this shirt. My pronouns are attack helicopter. He knew he keeps our neighborhood safe. He still patrols even though he's been retired for years. And then I do likewise when I have to walk the dog at night, I go make sure no stupid shit's happening in our neighborhood over there in Leon Springs. All right. You live in a nice neighborhood? That's pretty decent. Okay. Not too crazy in San Antonio. It's nice. It's nice that you're out patrolling the streets over there. Yeah. There's a lot of, there's a lot of, look, there's a lot of car thefts here. Oh, yeah. And they're all coming to fucking San Antonio. And then, yeah. My mother-in-law's neighborhood in Bernie had like five trucks stolen in one night. Yeah. We ate a community and it's like lock your damn doors, idiots. Yeah. So, yeah, Dave. Yeah. Well, it's one of those things where they got the keypad too. So, I can, the fob is, is close. And I know Dan always talks about putting shit in him in fair day bags and everything. And I just, man, so many extra layers of protection now, because everybody's a fucking shitty human being. Yeah, pretty much. I hate it, dude. We got a few good ones around. We try. I feel like the here we do. Oh, yeah, definitely. Like you guys that come in. That's why we leave the doors open. We're like, Hey, man, come on in and enjoy yourself drink some, some hard afs. And then cheers. We've never had, we've nine years we've been doing this now. We've never had one single fucking problem with a listener or anything, anything, anywhere we go. Well, they could boot it off the island if they did stupid shit. There is no island. I wish there was an island here drinking bros island. Oh, could you imagine the debauchery there? Holy shit. That motherfucker would burn at the ground. Oh, yeah. Well, we appreciate you being here, man. And it was, uh, it was awesome hanging out with you. I had to get a time to swing by here. I was in Austin the day. So, and I was given the kitchen pass like, come home whenever I'm like, shit, I'm stopping at drinking bros. No problem. It's awesome, right? Oh, yeah. I told you, I was like, dude, just roll through here every single day. It exists. It does exist. It does exist. Although we're going to pre-record. So, don't come Friday.

But if you can't be in the studio, go to drinking bros.com today and fill out the submission. It'll come right into the email and I'll read it live on air if we don't have somebody in the studio. While you're over there, check out the merch, dude. Those signs, are we sold out yet? Anthony, do we know? Good. Okay. I was worried that we were going to sell out overnight. I think we did, uh, we ordered more this time. We were unaware how popular these, these are. Pop those up on screen here. So we got the, the creed 2024 signs for the front yard. And we also have defund politicians out there. And those, those always sell really, really fucking quickly. We told the guy to make more. And, and so I think he's able to keep up with the demands, but go to drinking bros.com. Uh, merch is all stocked up. Bro box is back. Anthony mentioned earlier that we're going to be giving tickets away to see everybody at the Vulcan over there with him and Tim Poole and all those guys. And then on Thursday show, we will announce the winner of, uh, the person who signed up for the bro box who were flying out to come to the Olive Garden with us. Do you like the Olive Garden? When you're jumping off, it's good. Come on, fuck off, dude. It's great anytime of the day. Okay. Shit. Shit. I will say this. I take you because you look very honorable with the Kianti count. I don't want to be lied to. You know, as a waiter, I've been known to murder pasta. So yeah, I bet you have. I bet you have. You ever stick your dick in it? Uh, no, okay. I did listen to that episode. No, I didn't try it after I heard it. So when we did that episode about the dude fucking the pasta, we had a lot of responses. I mean, people were really taking it seriously. I was like, Oh, I think I'm fucking canola. And I was like, okay, great. So there is a chance. There is a way to do it. There is a chance. There is a scientist figured it out. Exactly. Appreciate you tuning in kids. Go to iTunes rate the show five star and leave a quick review. Also head on over to Spotify.
