Speaker 1:
[00:26] No need for that white, Byron. No need anymore, friend. Danthony, Danthony, Hollaway's in North Carolina. I'm here holding down the fort in what can only be described as African humidity outside. I don't think I've ever encountered something like what's happened today. Danthony, you're lucky you're back in North Carolina. It has been pouring for about four straight days, and all of a sudden the sun came out. It was around 58 degrees, got down in the low 40s. I saw my breath when I was moving with the Russians the other night, and all of a sudden today, I feel like I'm in Somalia, and I understand why those people are trying to escape to Minnesota. Now, it makes sense to me. I understand. You're going to switch and go from sub-Saharan heat to freezing cold. Be my guest, but please, let me stop funding all of this racism here. I woke up to this SPLC bullshit this morning, and I can't believe it, Dan. I know I'm naive, and I know I'm a little fucking dumb dumb. We called out the guys who were all jacked, kind of walking through the streets with flags here over the last, let's call it six to eight months.

Speaker 2:
[01:44] So at the Patriot front? And the khaki brigade, those homosexuals? Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[01:50] We posted that over and over and over again and said, hey, this isn't real. This is fake. This is fake. You seem like an asshole for doing it. It's kind of like saying, I'm shadow band or whatever. Like, no, no, no. All this stuff is actually really happening and really going on. What shocked me the most was that this goes all the way back to Charlottesville and the Tiki Torch kids. None of that was real. And somebody fucking died at that goddamn thing.

Speaker 2:
[02:17] Yeah. I mean, look, I don't want to trivialize the whole thing, but there were very fine people on both sides of that whole situation. I mean, not only was the hoax of Trump having said that, and with regard to white supremacists, but the entire goddamn event was fake. Yes, the whole thing, which is, it calls into question. I mean, we'll get more into this as this goes on. But I'm telling you, this is what I've been trying to explain to you guys in the audience for the last two years or so. All of this anti-Israel, fucking the Jews are trying to replace us. White nationalist bullshit is all been stoked by leftists, both domestically and from abroad. All of this shit is a fucking agitprop. It is propaganda designed to make the right look crazy, not even to the left, but to the right, right? So that people will shift the Overton window to the left or reject just plain, ordinary conservative values. Some of the stuff that you should recall or that you should remember about this is the way that a lot of these folks are hyper-focused on Israel, right? It's very odd to me. But, and look, we've had this discussion many times before. I'm not a fan of anybody being involved in our country's affairs in any way, right? But that you have partners abroad, sometimes it happens. I don't particularly care for it, but from 2016 to 2024, Israel spent about $190 million lobbying the United States in one form or another. That's the accounted for money. UAE spent $230 million. The Bahamas spent $240 million. You know what I mean? Saudi Arabia spent $270 million, Qatar $250 million, South Korea $300 million, Liberia $350 million. I don't know where they even got $350 million from. Then Japan at $390 million and China is at $450 million. Now, I don't know how much money we're spending keeping bases in Japan and South Korea and all over the rest of this place, but it's more than the $3.5 billion we give to Israel every year. I know how much we're losing in IP theft to China, and that's about $500 to $600 million per year, just in, I'm sorry, $1 billion, with a B, $500 to $600 billion per year to China in IP theft. We lose billions more, tens of billions more, providing security for the South China Sea and Taiwan as a result of our agreement with them. Qatar is paying all sorts of right-wing influencers to include Tucker Carlson, a person connected to the Qatari government gave me $50 million to start his network. And look, this is all, who fucking cares about any of this stuff, right? I want government to be as small as possible. I'm gonna take issue with a lot of these things, the way that we conduct ourselves and the way that we spend our money and the fact that there's foreign influence in our government. However, I don't hear any motherfucker talking about China and how they're infiltrating our education system or India and the H1B shit or all the money we spend on Japan. I like Japan, but we're spending a fuck ton of money over there and they're lobbying the shit out of us. All the money we're spending on South Korea, which by the way, they're kind of moving the right wing of their party completely out of politics and trending socialists right now. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, all of these countries have more influence financially and benefit more financially than Israel does, but we are so focused on it. Do you not see how that's a fucking problem? Like you've been. You've been you've been told a narrative that this it's this one country is doing all of it. And that's not true. It's not they're not doing all of it. They're not even they're in the top 10, their 10th out of out of in the top 10. Right. There's nine countries before them that have more influence. So I just let's be critical of everybody involved. That's all I ask. I'm not I would never ask anybody not to be critical of Israel because they do stupid shit all the time, just like any government does. But what I would ask you to do is to hold everybody else to the same standard. Otherwise, you're just you're full of shit, right? You don't actually have any principle. You just jumped on a bandwagon to hate one particular country, which doesn't make any sense to me. I think that the more appropriate way to handle this would be to realize that you're being constantly propagandized from all angles, definitely from Israel. I mean, they certainly propagandize us all the time. They don't do a very good job of it, frankly, because they whine too fucking much. Maybe that's a Jewish thing. They're whiny by nature in some some regards, but they're not doing a very good job of it. We're getting propaganda. America is the shiny city shining city on the hill, right? We're the fucking big dog on Earth, and we have been for a very long time. We get constantly propagandized by everybody else. Everybody else. Let's do this. Instead of worrying about what the fuck Israel is doing and ignoring literally everybody else who's far worse, why don't we just worry about making sure we're resilient against stupid ass propaganda in the first place so that we don't get tricked by China or Japan or South Korea or Saudi Arabia or Qatar, right? We can do all of that. We don't have to just focus on one country of eight million people. Like they're the goddamn... I just don't understand the obsession, frankly. It doesn't make any sense to me. It doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1:
[08:14] Well, who's funding this right now, the Southern Poverty Law Center?

Speaker 2:
[08:19] Well, that's a good question. It's a good question. A lot of people are funding it. I mean, Dave Matthews Band is funding it. Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[08:26] Right?

Speaker 2:
[08:27] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[08:27] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[08:28] I mean, for real, they did a massive concert for them and raised millions of dollars for them. There's an infographic out there somewhere, and it's like the amount of money raised by SPLC in the year before and after Charlottesville in 2017. They raised 30 million bucks on the first half of the year. Charlottesville happened, they raised $120 million after that. For what? Well, I don't know for what. To pay David Duke to go out and be a hateful cunt so that everybody thinks that all right-wing people are hateful cunts now. You know what I mean? This has all been fake. All of this shit has been fake. And the right right now is going to hyper-focus in on Charlottesville and some of the other obvious racist people and the Patriot Front, who everybody knew they were fake. Nobody like some people on the left pretended like that was a real organization. I don't know one person that's a conservative right-wing person that ever thought they were real ever. Right? You can probably speak to that too. Like you've got plenty of friends in that area. There's nobody that I've ever talked to that thinks that's a real organization.

Speaker 1:
[09:37] But I also never talked to one person on the left who said this is fake, and they were just willing to let it go because it fit within this narrative. It fit within this narrative and it was convenient. Clips were viral, they were happening once every, let's call it 30 to 60 days. They were all dressed identical, looked identical, all that other shit. Then finally, the DOJ charges the Southern Poverty Law Center with fraud over secret funding of extremist groups. I'm going to go back to what you said about these initial 10 countries. Is this money being funneled in? I hated the term globalist when Alex Jones used to say it back in the day. He was the first one that I heard it from. The globalist, the other globalist, globalist, globalist. It really is starting to feel like that, that all this money is coming in from all these countries, from all over the globe, into politicians or different accounts and things like that. Then it's being funneled to these groups to make one party or the other look horrific. Now, this was all Republicans, right? This whole funding of you guys are white supremacists, you're Nazis, you're white nationalists, everything else. But they have been indicted as of yesterday on charges related to secretly funding right-wing extremist groups that it claims to be battling. Acting US. Attorney General Todd Blanch said the SPLC was manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred. So essentially, this group created racist so that they could fund other groups to fight that racism against the group that was never racist in the first place.

Speaker 2:
[11:17] That's right. It's called vertical integration, bitch. Maybe you've heard of it.

Speaker 1:
[11:20] It's marketing.

Speaker 2:
[11:21] You create the problem and then you solve the problem. Yeah, so they got charged with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud and false statements, and then one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Now, these are criminal charges that have been filed. This isn't just lying to your financiers or shareholders or whatever the fuck you want to call it. These are criminal charges. So the core allegation is that between 2014 and 23, the SPLC followed more than $3 million in funds to paid informants who were active members or leaders inside the extremist groups that they were publicly tracking and denouncing as hate groups. Right? The DOJ claims they defrauded donors by using their contributions to fund extremism and claim to fight, which is in the 501c3 charter, it makes this a crime. It would be like, it would be like, I don't even know. It would be like having a charity that feeds homeless people and all you do is rob homeless people.

Speaker 1:
[12:31] Yeah. Are you make them throw up and then like right afterwards and they're hungry again and you're like, okay, cool, but we're going to help you and now we're going to refeed you. Just give us a couple months here and we'll go out and raise some money.

Speaker 4:
[12:43] No, make it fun, you know, like mothers against drunk driving, buying rounds of shots at the bar.

Speaker 1:
[12:47] Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[12:48] That actually, look, you got to, what if they hit a big, what if they got a big goal passed or something, a bill passed, they're not going to go out and celebrate?

Speaker 1:
[12:57] Oh, they sure are. They sure are. Now, let me read you some of the hits on this.

Speaker 2:
[13:02] Well, this is, yeah, you're talking about the groups. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[13:04] The SPLC paid at least three million to eight individuals, some associated with the Ku Klux Klan, the United Clans of America. I've never heard of that group, but congratulations.

Speaker 2:
[13:14] Wait, is there more than one clan?

Speaker 1:
[13:16] What the are you talking about? I'm going to read them off. The National Socialist Party of America, the Aryan Nations Affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club. Guys, that's a long one there, and you could have called them SMC, and that would have been fine, just because of the way that acronym shortens up. The American Front is also one of them. He made a statement about it earlier. Bob, go to your Twitter, and you can play his statement live from the White House earlier in regards to the DOJ charges, what they found, where the money was going, and what he's personally going to do here. And this is Todd Blanch. I don't know how long he's gonna stay there. Do you, D'Anthony?

Speaker 2:
[14:02] Who, Todd Blanch? Yeah. Until he's done.

Speaker 1:
[14:05] Oh, he is. Okay, so this isn't like, I know he was an interim guy. Is he gonna stick around for a while?

Speaker 2:
[14:11] Yeah, so Bailey's still doing the work he's been doing. Tulsi's still doing the work. She's been doing more on that to come in the next couple of weeks, I'm told.

Speaker 1:
[14:19] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[14:20] It could be months as well, you never know. I mean, they're trying to get it done before the midterms are complete in June. That's what I've been told.

Speaker 1:
[14:26] Gotcha.

Speaker 2:
[14:27] Just to get all the information out there. But Blanche is a fucking Terminator. He's a really short, I mean, look, but having Blanche come in after Pam Bondi is like replacing fucking, I don't know, Otis Nixon with Barry Bonds. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1:
[14:44] Michael Jordan with Manu Bull. I understand. Play this clip real quick, Bob. So the audience can catch up to speed here as far as the press conference that was going on today.

Speaker 5:
[14:55] I just want to make sure I understand you're alleging that the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying the leaders of KKK and other groups to continue their operations? Is that-

Speaker 6:
[15:08] I'm not alleging it. The grand jury return an indictment that says that. And so what the investigation found according to the indictment that was returned today, is that they were paying- so the Southern Poverty Law Center is raising money, asking folks to give them money to dismantle racism, and over a very long period of time, they were using some of the money they raised from donors to pay to- they called them field, you know, basically to informants, to- for information, for access, to just pay them for certain- to do certain things, and so yes, that's exactly what the indictment charges.

Speaker 1:
[15:47] I just want to make sure I understand. Okay, so you can stop it there. Now, Dan, this was between the years of 2014 and 2023. That's how long this has been going on for, let alone anything else afterwards. I mean, we've, we've, you know, done the shows with the paid agitators and fake protesters and all this other shit. To me though, this one's the most egregious because racism can divide a country like that. And if you look at what happens, and let's just start with the beginning of this in 2014. 2016 is when it popped off with the Ferguson and all this other shit. And then you had the groups and then you had Charlottesville. And then you also had Biden, who was presented with this information in 2021 and said, nothing to see here. We're all good. And moved on.

Speaker 2:
[16:34] Oh, no, I've actually, I've actually got a quote here. Let me check my other computer from Biden. Huh? Huh? Why? Why?

Speaker 1:
[16:44] That was the exact quote.

Speaker 2:
[16:46] And then there's a picture of him eating ice cream and not well. Next to the next to the statement.

Speaker 1:
[16:53] No, no, no. Now, the I didn't play the whole video of Todd Blanch. I'll read some of the other quotes here. One troubling example, the SPLC was paying a member of the leadership group that planned to unite the right protest in Charlottesville, Virginia. That resulted in the death of one person and injured dozens more. The acting attorney general said, noting that the indictment alleged that the group paid the person about $270,000 over the course of eight years. Now, Bob and I were talking about this before we came on air today. I don't even like the way it painted the university or fraternity dudes for that matter. Like, how many times have we seen those pictures with the fucking tiki torches? I mean, that became a meme. That was spread everywhere. And for University of Virginia, and full disclosure, my agent went there. I called him after this and I go, hey dude, does this suck? Is this embarrassing? And he goes, Jesus Christ, man. He goes, this is one of those things that will live with you forever. Kind of similar to your situation at Mizzou, Bob. Remember that shit? What was it? The Nazi symbol thing?

Speaker 2:
[17:59] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[18:00] Puswasika. And it's like, to this day...

Speaker 2:
[18:02] Wasn't that a hoax though?

Speaker 4:
[18:03] No, but they never found out who did it and they didn't... No one wanted to admit that it was probably just some kid off his meds.

Speaker 1:
[18:10] I mean, honestly, Bob, we should be surprised that it wasn't this group, though.

Speaker 2:
[18:14] I mean, I heard it was LeBron James.

Speaker 1:
[18:18] Yeah, that's another one.

Speaker 4:
[18:19] I mean, it was in a random dorm bathroom in the middle of the night. My guess is it was just some fuck. I mean, with poop.

Speaker 1:
[18:24] But how did that go viral?

Speaker 2:
[18:26] I don't know, but it's hilarious.

Speaker 4:
[18:27] To be honest... It's a poop swastika.

Speaker 1:
[18:29] But that's what I'm saying. Like, kids with tiki torches, you know that's going to go viral.

Speaker 2:
[18:33] That's hilarious. Honestly.

Speaker 1:
[18:35] It's a poop swastika?

Speaker 2:
[18:36] Yeah, that's fucking funny, man. I don't care.

Speaker 1:
[18:38] Not for Mizzou, though. Like, not for the kids and what happens.

Speaker 2:
[18:41] It's all... The only reason it's not funny is because everybody's a fucking faggot. That's the only reason why. Because whomever is but heard about something or trying to make some point or another is ignoring the very basic information that Bob just said. It was some dipshit, drunk 19-year-old. Who fucking cares what dipshit, drunk 19-year-olds do? That is not a... That's not what we... When we're talking about like, hey, what's going on in America these days? Oh, you know what drunk 19-year-olds are doing? They're sniffing cocaine off a girl's asses. Then they're eating the ass, I hope. You better be eating her ass, you son of a bitch. And then-

Speaker 1:
[19:16] Not after coke, but yeah.

Speaker 2:
[19:17] Why not? Well, I mean, you can't get it up, so you got to eat her ass.

Speaker 1:
[19:20] Well, that's if she's doing it too, that could come back to haunt you. Just saying.

Speaker 2:
[19:25] Well, it depends. You got to get El Poro. You don't want that baby laxative stuff. Otherwise, you're going to get pink eye. I'm just saying we don't gauge the national fucking discourse based on what 19-year-olds are doing in dorm bathrooms, for sake.

Speaker 1:
[19:38] I don't. But Bob, what happened to your school after that? I mean, you remember.

Speaker 4:
[19:43] Yeah. What do you call it? Enrollment went down for a couple years.

Speaker 2:
[19:49] Didn't it really?

Speaker 4:
[19:49] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[19:50] Why? What the?

Speaker 4:
[19:51] Because it spiraled out of control beyond that. And there were like a bunch of protests with like the football team and shit like that.

Speaker 1:
[19:57] And like you lost a bunch of players, all of it. And here's the thing. I didn't even go to school there and I know this fucking story.

Speaker 4:
[20:03] I shouldn't. It definitely set the school back for probably four years, I would say, before the football team got good again.

Speaker 1:
[20:10] And so my point is this, Bob, and it's not to shit on your school. Pun intended, though. And I hope you at least can acknowledge that. Thank you. These little moments like that, where Charlottesville or these fucking guys marching down the street or whatever, if you can go get one of these things to go viral, then you can create this white nationalist hatred fucking feud online, where people are bickering back and forth, and then it stretches into parties and people and all the other shit. And I hate it because, again, if you can just get one of these things, just one, to go viral where everybody cares, SPLC wins at the end of the day. No, I'm not saying it was Missouri. I have no idea. I'm just using that as an example of, it could set a school back for four years, it could set a party back for years. All of it can be used as fodder for commercials and ad campaigns and all that shit.

Speaker 4:
[21:04] You know what's funny is there are far more gratuitous examples at Mizzou around the same time that didn't go viral.

Speaker 1:
[21:10] Really?

Speaker 4:
[21:11] A couple ROTC kids, they were caught and immediately expelled through cotton balls all over the front lawn of the Black Student Center.

Speaker 2:
[21:19] See, now that's targeted. That is completely unacceptable. You can't do that. But pooping a swastika is fucking funny. I'm sorry. The time and effort it took to do that is fucking stupid. It's dumb. It's things that are completely pointless. That one's dumb. The Charlottesville thing had nothing to do with the university at all.

Speaker 1:
[21:39] No, but they're associated with it, and that's all that we think.

Speaker 2:
[21:42] Look, so the University of Virginia, I don't know if everybody knows this, was founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1819 in this year of our Lord. And I think, based on his reputation, he was very friendly to African Americans. Let's call him that, right? As a matter of fact, he fucked a couple, at least one. Yeah. Sally Hemmings, right?

Speaker 1:
[22:06] That little baby.

Speaker 2:
[22:08] Had a couple of babies.

Speaker 1:
[22:09] Yeah, that's what I heard. That's the rumor.

Speaker 2:
[22:11] We don't know that that's true. There is some DNA evidence that some people that are differently complected have some of Jeffords' DNA, but we don't know if that was a member of his family. Could have been his kid or grand kid or whatever the fuck. I don't even know what happened.

Speaker 4:
[22:29] We actually did an episode on this on Softcore History, and there was a low probability that it could have been his brother. It was more likely than not him, but his brother is not off the hook.

Speaker 1:
[22:40] Interesting. That show on PBS, by the way, has traced back some of those ancestors to celebrities, and they're embarrassed by it.

Speaker 2:
[22:48] Now, for Jefferson's, in his defense, his wife died tragically, right? Right around the time that the country was formed, actually, he was in... It was after the... I think it was during the Revolutionary War. Bob was in it, and then he went over to France to be a co-ambassador to France with Benjamin Franklin for a while after his wife died. They kind of sent him over there.

Speaker 4:
[23:14] Yes, and that's... He brought Sally Hemings with him, and that is when they believe the affair began. She was about 13 at the time.

Speaker 1:
[23:23] Whoopsies. Whoopsies, that ain't great.

Speaker 4:
[23:27] I believe Abigail Adams wrote him a letter to be like, why are you bringing this girl over? She's more of a child than your own child, because one of his kids came as well, and they stayed with the Adamses in London for a little while, and they were like, what is this child going to do for you? She can't do shit.

Speaker 1:
[23:44] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[23:45] Thomas was like, don't worry about it.

Speaker 1:
[23:47] Yeah, it's like, don't ask questions, okay?

Speaker 2:
[23:50] She's got really strong hands.

Speaker 1:
[23:52] Yep.

Speaker 2:
[23:53] I get this knot in my back. Slav says that racism has always been crisis actors, hence Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was a communist, for sure, and that whole thing was a set up, but...

Speaker 1:
[24:06] Is that real?

Speaker 2:
[24:08] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[24:08] I didn't know that.

Speaker 2:
[24:09] Yeah. I think in the modern age, that's mostly true. There are still plenty of fucking dumb ass racist people, and we are all to some degree a little bit racist, but if you put a couple of dudes that are more, that are confident in a room together, not dudes that are anxious or uncomfortable, their own skin or who are fucking pussies, but if you just put normal dudes in a room together, they'll start ripping on each other for everything, including their race. Ask me how I know is in the fucking army, and that's all we did all the time is light each other up based on immutable characteristics that we all had. That's how dudes talk to each other, honestly. Some lady made a video, I think it was on TikTok, but I saw it on Twitter, and it was translating how men talk to each other, and it was like these three dudes having a conversation, and it was like, I don't care what happens to you, I'll never care. If somebody came in here right now and dragged you out of this room, I would have sat there and watched. And then if you were on fire, I'd probably just, I don't even know if I would pee on you to put you out. And it's like, that's how dudes communicate that they actually like each other, is to talk shit, basically. Yeah, that whole, all this ginned up racist bullshit is nonsense. None of it's real.

Speaker 1:
[25:27] I think so too, man. And like, you know, when I was playing on these arena teams, I was the only essentially white one in the whole locker room, right? And we were, right before the game, one of them was like, hey man, you got any honky ass shit you want to play here? And I go, yeah, yeah, throw on some David Allen Co. And like, we all got a huge laugh out of it and everything else. And we don't care. Like, you're in a team, you're making friends. I don't think anybody's really cared about racism except for the fucking media. Like, we've said this on a show a million times. We just don't see it that much. You and I go everywhere there is. We've stayed in horrific places, good places, all that other shit. And we just don't see it that much. The only time I really fucking hear it is in the media. That's it. And they're obviously very, very selective with what they're going to show you on the news of what's racist. And it's usually a white guy doing something fucked up versus black people doing shit.

Speaker 2:
[26:16] I mean, it's Christopher Ray, the director of the FBI, who 100 percent knew this shit was going on and still got on stage and told all of us that white supremacy was the biggest threat facing America.

Speaker 1:
[26:28] Yep. And it was during this exact time here. So what do you do now? Because I don't think most average Americans know what the SPLC is. And even when you say it out loud, Southern Poverty Law Center, you're going to hear the phrase law center. You're just a normal American walking around, not paying attention to the news every day. Probably not know what the fuck this is. Now, obviously, it's been trending number one all day. Everybody's reporting on it from CNBC to MSNBC to NBC and CBS, and all these other outlets. But I'll go back to what I've been saying to you over the course of the last 8 to 12 months on this show. Unless these people are prosecuted and something is done about it, another group will pop up in 6 months and do the same fucking shit.

Speaker 2:
[27:17] Yeah, that's right. Now, the interesting thing is, who goes to jail?

Speaker 1:
[27:25] Right.

Speaker 2:
[27:26] Because they've indicted an organization. No one is currently facing jail time from this indictment because only an organization has been charged. No individual has been charged yet. I say yet. I don't know if that's coming or not. But none have been indicted yet. So what happens if SBLC is an organization gets convicted? Obviously, a corporation cannot go to jail, so they get fined forfeiture of assets and proceeds tied to the scheme itself. But I don't think outside the scheme, I don't think it would bankrupt them or anything. Possible court-ordered reforms, probation, other non-monetary penalties and stuff like that. But no individual is going to jail for this, not one.

Speaker 1:
[28:07] Well, what's interesting is the statement I read to you earlier here, where the SPLC paid at least 3 million to 8 individuals. Now, I'm sure Cash Patel and those guys, because Cash was there at this press conference if you didn't see it earlier, and I'm sure Cash Patel and those guys talked to these 8 individuals, or else they wouldn't list it in the report here. And I guarantee you those 8 individuals flipped in a matter of fucking 30 seconds and said, all right, here's who's paying me, here are the groups, here's why, here's the dates that I did it and everything else. And if this was an actual court proceeding that was televised to the world, you'd be able to call in these people one by one and pick them off and say, here's who did it, here's why they did it, here's how much they got paid, here's the events we were at, and here's how we made America look like shit at the end of the day or the Republican Party essentially. So yes, I think with this one, you could actually do it. The problem is SPLC has already released a statement saying, we're going to fight these allegations, and this is untrue, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then to your point earlier, with all the celebrities that were involved, Dave Matthews doing a fucking concert, all these guys doing a fucking concert, raising money for these groups. The Dave Matthews thing, by the way, was after Charlottesville. That's where they were founded. So they came out of Charlottesville. They met up at the University of West Virginia, at Virginia, where this took place with the Tiki Torches. They held this huge benefit concert. People paid money. They went to go see it. All the money went to the organization. Did they come out and release the statement saying, hey, dude, I had no fucking idea and I'm sorry, because we never hear that either?

Speaker 2:
[29:52] No. I mean, certainly, they're not going to do that. No. I mean, I would. I certainly would want to clear up that I had been part of a hoax. Duped.

Speaker 1:
[30:05] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[30:05] I mean, because I don't think, I mean, Dave, I'm sure Dave Matthews is a fucking liberal like every other person.

Speaker 1:
[30:12] Unbelievably liberal, by the way. He's doing concerts like Bruce Springsteen right now.

Speaker 2:
[30:16] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[30:17] And Jake Tapper do his channel on SiriusXM.

Speaker 2:
[30:20] Yeah. I just don't, I don't care about any of that, but you still have, regardless of what your political beliefs are, you have a responsibility to tell the truth, right? At least try to. And if you fuck up, just say like you it. Even if it's not you that fucked up, you know, if somebody in your sphere fucks up, eventually you got to be like, yeah, that dude fucked up. Like Kennedy, Tim Kennedy, for example. People talk shit about him for years. I'm like, no, you got to show me some evidence before I'm going to say anything negative about a buddy of mine. And then I should go with showing evidence. I'm like, all right, cool. Fuck that. I support that shit.

Speaker 1:
[30:56] I remember another one you said, you called out. It was Tucker Carlson. We were talking about Tucker Carlson. We were doing a show here in the studio maybe four or five months ago. You were like, man, I'm embarrassed that I am associated with him. I'm in pictures with him and I did a show and everything else. And now that he's changed, because the only way I can, you said this, the only way that I can come on and apologize for it and say, hey, I didn't fucking know. And yeah, there's nothing wrong with saying that. But I doubt anybody is. And that's the fucking problem that I have with all this shit.

Speaker 2:
[31:28] Well, maybe you will. I don't know. Give him this just popped. So he hasn't really had time to do it yet. Maybe he's crafting a response. Maybe he's going to sing it. I mean, they didn't exactly put out a huge press release when one of their musicians got caught being a pedophile either.

Speaker 1:
[31:44] Yeah, I mean, they fired him and moved on with their lives, but whatever.

Speaker 2:
[31:47] I think in Hollywood and showbiz in general, usually you just try to create distance between yourself and the problem. I mean, you hire, we call them PR firms.

Speaker 1:
[31:55] Crisis PR firms.

Speaker 2:
[31:56] But these are, yeah, these are crisis PR firms. Direct response firms, maybe you could call them as well. And their jobs are just to get people through. The good ones don't say shit. Here's what, if you're running a crisis firm, if you're thinking about running a crisis firm, if you're in PR right now, and you're thinking about running a crisis firm, all you need to learn is to tell your client to shut the fuck up. Don't say a fucking word. Don't say anything and people will forget. That's all you got to do. That's all you got to do. Don't do that fucking BP, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. All that bullshit. People don't want to hear that. People just want to hear, yeah, that was fucked up. Anyways, we got shit to do, so we're gonna go do our shit now. That's really all you got to do to handle it.

Speaker 1:
[32:42] But the leftist media is already spinning this and again, it's in wording. I've said this a thousand times on the show and I'll say it again. CNN breaking news last night when this story first broke. Their headline was Southern Poverty Law Center indicted in federal court over alleged use of paid informants to infiltrate white supremacists and other extremist groups. Well, that's not true. Those groups didn't exist, so you weren't paid to infiltrate anybody. You paid them to be there.

Speaker 2:
[33:10] Yeah, you paid them to be there in the first place. Yeah, the reading the headlines is so interesting these days because it's like alternate realities. Two of the liberal rag papers posted, the entire story that they ran were comments from SPLC. It was like SPLC says, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. SPLC, it was like SPLC says it's being indicted by the Department of Justice for blah, blah, blah, or whatever, then the whole article is an apology, like not saying they're sorry, like apologist, like from the third party. An apologist is somebody who defends someone else, by the way, just if you don't know what that word means. It's goofy nonsense. Nobody serious really believes all that shit. We don't have a whole lot of serious people involved in our public discourse anymore, frankly, on either side of the aisle.

Speaker 1:
[34:04] No, and I'm looking at the numbers here because they just got released. And the top one was the National Alliance affiliate. They got paid a million dollars. Plus number two is the area nations affiliate. They got paid 300 grand. Unite the rights, just one member. Whoever that was must be the leader. It's redacted, 270,000 dollars for that guy. Former National Alliance chairman got paid 140,000 dollars. Each former KKK member to come to this shit was 73,000 a piece. Shit, great living if you can pretend to be racist, I guess. And then the last one was American front president and felon. Was paid 19,000 dollars for an event. And it's gonna get worse. But here's the thing, if you're reading back and forth online, there's still a lot of people that refuse to believe this. Although we figured it was fake the whole time, but you still have to kind of play the, you know, straddle the line here. Because if you're wrong and then there's just racist out there, you obviously don't want to do that. So we always reported on this like, hey, we think this isn't real. But now we have confirmation that none of this was fucking real and it sucks. And not only does it suck for our country, but this continues, this racism theme continues to set us back as a nation over and over and over again. And then they use it for other shit like voting. Take Virginia last night. Did you see that bullshit? Yeah. I mean, you can use gerrymandering and racism. And let's just stick with racism. You can use that over and over and over again, especially in Virginia. The Charlottesville thing. You can use that in Virginia over and over and over again to try to switch votes and all this other shit. Now, Dan, I don't know if you saw it. It was 6-5. It's now gonna be 10-1 Democrats for seats in Virginia as of last night's vote. This will probably get struck down by the Supreme Court. A bunch of listeners were asking me to ask you today.

Speaker 2:
[36:13] I don't know if it's gonna get struck down or not. I do think that the racial provision in the Voting Rights Act is gonna get struck down, which means the entire South is gonna fucking... It will be all Republican after that.

Speaker 1:
[36:27] But when will that happen? Because people are... June. June. Okay. Because people are wondering when and why. And here's why I ask you that. Is Florida and DeSantis immediately made a comment, said, hey, man, if you wanna do that, we could switch the fucking districts and gain back seven more seats tomorrow if we wanted to.

Speaker 2:
[36:46] Yep. They're going... I mean, I honestly think this is gonna happen. I think there are gonna be a lot of emergency meetings in June after the Supreme Court ruling drops and everybody's gonna redistrict immediately. I mean, that's not the dumbest thing that Virginia is doing. Virginia also passed a bill. I think it's signed by the governor now, where they no longer respect the electoral college. Instead, they just award their electoral votes to whomever wins the majority nationally. A lot of people are like, oh, the Supreme Court is gonna strike that down. I don't know how they could. The states have broad latitude on how to conduct elections inside. You can have any sort of election in a state that you'd like, as long as you're not specifically disenfranchising a particular group of people. And then you can award your electors in the fashion that you see fit as a governor and state assembly, essentially. And I'm not sure what the challenge to that would be, constitutionally speaking. I don't think there is one.

Speaker 1:
[37:50] So then wouldn't Virginia just not count as a state toward voting?

Speaker 2:
[37:54] No, so Virginia would, regardless of how the people in Virginia vote, regardless of how they vote, they would award their electors to the person that won the majority vote in the United States. So let's say Virginia went red.

Speaker 1:
[38:15] Well, hey, while you're looking that up, Bob, how many red states and how many blue states are there? Just out of curiosity. Because whenever you see these maps, you know, when we're doing the election show and all that other shit, it looks mostly red, except for the coastlines.

Speaker 4:
[38:33] Yeah. Fuck. Hold on. This map is being stupid. It's, there's definitely more red than blue. And then there's quite a few.

Speaker 1:
[38:44] Is there a number? Like if you Google a number, what's considered a red state and a blue state? I wonder what those numbers are because to what you were saying, Dan, then why couldn't every red state say, fuck it, I don't really give a shit what you want to do with the electoral college. We're just going to vote the same way as Virginia. Game over. That's it, right?

Speaker 2:
[39:04] No. Well, I mean, that would not go well for Republicans. Republicans don't win the vote. We'll see what happens when all this shakes out. The presumption is that there's quite a bit of fraud going on in the national elections. And we'll see, TBD on that. But Virginia has 13 electoral votes. And I don't know when the last time Virginia was a red state. Bob, maybe you can look that up.

Speaker 1:
[39:30] I don't know if it was that long ago. To be honest with you, it's always very, very close. I feel like those elections are always very close. Bag head.

Speaker 2:
[39:38] It's not going to be anymore.

Speaker 1:
[39:39] Bag head for governor. I remember that one being kind of close too.

Speaker 4:
[39:45] The last one to win was Bush in 04.

Speaker 2:
[39:50] And Bush in 04, did he win the popular vote?

Speaker 4:
[39:54] Yeah, he did in 04.

Speaker 1:
[39:55] But wasn't Yonkin a Republican governor?

Speaker 4:
[39:58] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[39:58] Yes.

Speaker 4:
[40:00] And then they actually had quite a streak from Nixon won to Bush too. Virginia was Republican the whole time.

Speaker 2:
[40:08] Yeah, we'll see now, right? Because a lot of illegals are getting booted out of the country, two and a half million, three million ish so far. But also a large portion of the federal government has been fired now, right? I don't know if those people are going to stay in Virginia. Like they're all Democrats. The people that work for the federal government in DC, it's got to be 80% Democrat.

Speaker 1:
[40:34] Yeah, because they all live in Virginia. All of them.

Speaker 2:
[40:36] Yeah, they all live in Virginia. So I assume that's going to hit them pretty. If you look at a map of houses for sale in the DC metro area, it's a lot of them. I mean, it's been a lot of them since Trump got inaugurated, actually. So I don't know what effect that's going to have. But no, it is within their right as a state. If the state can get both houses and the governor to agree to that stuff, they can do it.

Speaker 4:
[40:59] So there's a provision in this bill that makes me think it might not be in effect yet. It says, under the compact, Virginia agrees to award its electoral votes to the presidential ticket that receives the most popular votes in all 50 states in the District of Columbia. The compact goes into effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral votes have joined the compact. So essentially, there has to be over 50 percent of the electoral votes involved in this. So other states have to join until they have 51 percent of the electoral votes dedicated to just awarding them to the popular vote. So presumably, they're like, yeah, we'll do it, but it's not technically in effect yet.

Speaker 2:
[41:42] Does it say, it says 51 percent of the states?

Speaker 4:
[41:46] No, states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral votes. So like if California and New York and Illinois and a couple other big ones join, and they have over 50 percent of the electoral votes combined within those states, then it goes into effect.

Speaker 1:
[42:05] Got it. Thank you, Bob. This Supreme Court's got to step in at this point. I mean, because otherwise every state is going to start doing this, everybody was pissed off last night, they're pissed off today.

Speaker 2:
[42:17] The Supreme Court doesn't have the right to step in. The states have the right to do this.

Speaker 1:
[42:22] No. So what I heard last night actually was the Virginia Supreme Court could step in and strike this down before it even got to the other Supreme Court.

Speaker 2:
[42:33] I mean, yeah, that's possible for sure. Well, it wouldn't even go to the other Supreme Court necessarily because who would have standing to sue for that. But in the Virginia Supreme Court, they can take up a case that comes right out of the legislature. It's completely different.

Speaker 1:
[42:45] Interesting.

Speaker 2:
[42:46] So yeah, it's possible. I mean, the DOJ, what do you call it? What's the section of the DOJ that does civil rights division, I think, CRD, could, if it specifically violates some group's civil rights, they can immediately take up the case as well. But you have to have standing to sue somebody. And as Bob just pointed out, that technically that law is not even in effect yet. Now, the redistricting thing, maybe, I don't know, but we'll see.

Speaker 1:
[43:15] Yeah, because what was the reasoning for it? Gerrymandering is what they were saying?

Speaker 2:
[43:20] Yeah, they're saying it's in response to other states doing it, I imagine. That's what everybody says. But California and Illinois, Gerrymandered and Massachusetts hasn't had a Republican in Congress in 30 fucking years.

Speaker 1:
[43:33] Interesting.

Speaker 2:
[43:34] Literally 30 years.

Speaker 4:
[43:36] So you want to hear the states that are part of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact?

Speaker 1:
[43:41] Yeah, please, Gerrymandered.

Speaker 4:
[43:43] Oregon, Washington, California, New Mexico, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, Maine, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and then it's pending in Kansas, Arizona, and South Carolina.

Speaker 1:
[44:05] So everybody that's a left state except for South Carolina wouldn't put on that list?

Speaker 4:
[44:10] Kansas is red.

Speaker 1:
[44:11] Kansas is red, correct.

Speaker 4:
[44:12] Arizona is purple.

Speaker 1:
[44:14] Well, Arizona is not the last, at least three elections have gone Democrats way four months later. Now on election night, it was a different story before months later, they ended up going Democrat. So that's not terribly shocking. By the way, Bob, you can play that next clip that I sent you here. They're starting to go through the numbers on who donated what to the SPLC here, and there's a lot of fucking people here, man. These are the major donors to it. Press play on this.

Speaker 7:
[44:54] It's some of the big names donating to the SPLC, including actor George Clooney and his wife Amal, Apple CEO Tim Cook, JPMorgan Chase and MGM Resorts. Justice correspondent David Spunt has been looking into this. David.

Speaker 5:
[45:13] Well, Harris, according to the DOJ, the Southern Poverty Law Center lied to its donors while committing bank and wire fraud.

Speaker 3:
[45:22] They used the fraudulently raised money by lying to their donor network, thousands of Americans, to go ahead and actually pay the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups.

Speaker 5:
[45:35] Okay, Harris, the allegations are from 2014.

Speaker 1:
[45:37] You can cut it right there.

Speaker 2:
[45:39] I'm sorry, was that guy's name Spunt?

Speaker 1:
[45:41] Spunt? Did we hear a spunt, Bob?

Speaker 4:
[45:44] I don't know. I think so.

Speaker 1:
[45:46] That's fun. Tim Cook just stepped down yesterday.

Speaker 2:
[45:49] Yeah, maybe he knew.

Speaker 1:
[45:50] Interesting timing, man. He donated a million dollars. JP Morgan Chase, half a million dollars. You don't say, you fuck faces. George Clooney, a million dollars, and his wife, MGM Resorts, a million dollars. Alex Jones, by the way, to talk about this flip-flopping from podcasters and all this other shit. It was like, oh, there's this. Congratulations, President Trump. First time going out to the deep state and everything else. You wanted to file the 25th Amendment against him. it. What, 10 days ago? Eight days ago? So yeah, dude, just waits. Let's see what happens with all this shits.

Speaker 2:
[46:31] But I think everybody should panic.

Speaker 1:
[46:36] It's good for us.

Speaker 2:
[46:37] I'm panicking.

Speaker 1:
[46:38] It's good for our ratings, but man, everybody else, what the fuck, bro? But yeah, as you go through this, again, will anything happen? That's what I'm skeptical of and then the best one today. Did you see the Ilhan Omar one?

Speaker 2:
[46:55] I caught a glimpse. It looks like she might be involved in something, but she's been involved in a lot of things and she's still here serving in Congress.

Speaker 1:
[47:04] All right, Dan, we got some sponsors to put this shit wagon on the air. First and foremost, firstform.com/drinkinbros. Five free meat sticks right now with a purchase of any supplement on the site. I am gunning through the sharp cheddar and I'm happy to report it has moved to number two on my list now, Bobby. Number two, it has knocked out jalapeno cheddar for me.

Speaker 4:
[47:30] Well, what I like about both of them is, so the first four meat sticks, literally the best I've ever had and I like them because they're really clean and kind of lean. A lot of meat sticks you get are really greasy and fatty.

Speaker 1:
[47:40] I can't, dude, if I get the grease that comes out of the fucking bat, I'm with you. I hate it. I can't stand it.

Speaker 4:
[47:45] But if you do miss a little bit of fat in that meat stick, the cheddar ones give it back to you.

Speaker 1:
[47:51] They sure do.

Speaker 4:
[47:52] It's a perfect combo. I know. I like all of them, but the cheddar adds that extra element that I like.

Speaker 1:
[47:57] So now I've got a new top three. My top three is Italian at one. I think it's sold out of that. Sharp cheddar, though, is in there. And then three is jalapeno cheddar. But full disclosure, I haven't had the new fire roasted garlic ones either. So I'll wait on that. But those are my current top three and it will always changing. Why? Because they got a million flavors. Let's start with the protein. Protein, you've got the level one bars right here on my desk. There's only one left, son of a bitch, dude. I got the cookie dough on my desk right now today. Cookie dough, birthday cake, strawberry smash cake. Red velvet cake is now out there. Cookies and cream, chocolate peanut butter pretzel, PB&J. If you're trying to wean your kids off of Snickers bars or whatever it is, they taste amazing. 20 grams of protein in every single bar. Best flavors on the planet and they're also available in powders. So if you're a powders guy, which that's how I was getting my day going with the arena league shit, I would put some opti greens in there. I would put some protein powder in there and then whole milk. God, as much as I hate to say it, that fucking bullshit milk that Dan was talking about and the RFK Jr. was talking about really does taste better. I hate when he's right, whatever, man, but that's what I was doing to get ready for that. That's all fantastic and those supplements count. The last supplement too that I highly recommend because I take this every single day, boom, here's an empty bag next to me so you know I'm not lying, is the Microfactors. Microfactors take the guesswork out of vitamins. They got the big six in it, antioxidants, coquitans, multivitamins, fruits and veggies, BFAs and the Probiotics. This way you don't have to worry about running out of something and then trying to reorder it off of Amazon or whatever the fuck it is. This gives you 30 individual bags, one beautiful box. You take those, you're good to go. Let's face it, we all don't eat the way we need to or work out the way we need to on a daily basis. However, it is important to get the proper vitamins inside of us on a daily basis. And these are the best in the biz. I love firstform.com/drinkinbros. As always, orders over $100 gets you free shipping over there, but the purchase of one supplement will get you five free meat sticks. And that is first form, spelled with a one, one S T P H O R M, firstform.com/drinkinbros. Next up, got our old friends over at montanaknifecompany.com. Master Blade Smith, Josh Smith, that big dick motherfucker. Now he's pumping out a bunch of stuff.

I've never heard of a knife breaking over there, but they'll replace it and they will do this for life, dude. It is a crazy company, man. And the fact that it is grown to the size that it's grown and now they got a, I think it's a 10 or 20,000 square foot facility with Black Rifle Coffee inside of it and all that other shit. And they're selling apparel. Their apparel is dope. I promise you, man. They're making better shit than REI. Their jackets and everything else are unmatched. I don't know if they're making boots or anything yet, but Montana Knife Company has got you covered all the way around for any of your hunting needs, culinary needs and apparel.

[55:52] Oh, they're out for four? There's only out for two. Great.

Speaker 4:
[55:55] There's two new ones. There's only 475 of this one.

Speaker 1:
[55:57] That's how popular these have become. So, this is actually real gold. And they signed up with Mattel. So, the Hot Wheels burn ins that they do on these gold bars will get shipped to your house. And it's only 30 bucks a month. And as soon as you pay for it, boom, they ship the bar right to your house. So, I got a question for you. What are you doing with 30 bucks a month right now? Probably nothing you remember in six months. Acre gold lets you turn that into real gold, for real. Like this is actual real gold, gold bars that will be in your hands. You pick a plan, your balance builds every month. And when you hit the price of the bar, they actually ship you a 24 karat Swiss gold. Real gold in your hand at your house. And over time, you're sitting on something that's been more valuable since the dawn of civilization. They just released those extremely limited edition Hot Wheels collection. They start off with 3,500. So, Bob, if you're saying they're down to 400, god damn, these are selling fast. And they're moving out the door. They're available through subscription. That's how I got it or buy it now. So you can buy it now and just get it in like two or three days. I put it on subscription. Got a lot of things going on in my life. Plus, I want my kids to learn the value of money. Hey, this costs 30 bucks a month. And then boom, you got the gold bar. And I'm actually going to give it to them and have them hide it somewhere or put it in a safe or something like that and see how long they can actually keep it. Because once they're claimed, they're history. That's it. So these will be worth a lot of money one day.

So here's the new one, the latest and greatest, which you'll love, is her net worth went from making $30 million. She revised her taxes, which all Americans have the right to do. I've had to go back in and do it. Plenty of people have had to go back in and do it over time, where let's say a check came in late, but it was from the first quarter before April 15th or whatever. And you're like, oh shit, I got to enter that into the system or whatever it is. Hey, can you revise my taxes and blah, blah, blah? I think I better revise mine over the years, let's call it four or five times, but for simple shit, like not $30 million. I'm talking maybe a thousand or something, something dumb that came in, a residual check from the new guy. Yeah, I'll go back to the fucking new guy. But with that, she revised hers from 30 million to 95,000. That's quite a jump, Dan. Um, how does that happen as a CPA, where it's just like, man, I got it wrong. And by the way, that's what she's saying. The CPA made a mistake, my CPA did, and they've revised my taxes. So the $30 million was a mistake, clerical, and it was supposed to be $95,000. Also, her wine company that she had is magically closed down. Now, as well, according to these new filings, and it's like, when the fuck are we going to get this lady out of the goddamn country? I don't know what else you could possibly prove. Yesterday, she didn't show up for the fraud hearing in regards to the Somalian daycare bullshit in Minnesota at all. What else can this woman do? And does she have something over the fucking government at this point? It's like, holy Christ, eject her from the fucking country.

Speaker 2:
[61:19] You've got to wonder. You definitely got to wonder. I think the thing I wonder most about is, when is she getting audited? If I made a revision, I made a revision that was 300x different, I would get audited immediately. There would be no question. There would be no like, oh, my CPA flubbed it. No, you would get audited immediately. So, I mean, at the very least, audit her, you know?

Speaker 1:
[61:56] Yeah, and this is anti-American out there. If you make a revision of $29.9 million on your taxes, that will typically trigger an audit from the IRS. So, I would not do that if you can, but apparently, it doesn't matter. Now, Bob, I just sent you a clip where a reporter asked her about it yesterday and she had a really interesting response to it that went viral. I loved it and she gives no whatsoever. Play this clip.

Speaker 8:
[62:35] The last time I told the team that you said that I was stupid for asking you about your financial disclosure, but there's some discrepancies on there. Would you like to explain that? How do you make such a big mistake on this?

Speaker 7:
[62:45] I'm absolutely not stupid for asking me anything.

Speaker 8:
[62:47] I am?

Speaker 7:
[62:48] Yes.

Speaker 8:
[62:49] Well, what about the American people who are wondering how you made such a big mistake?

Speaker 7:
[62:51] I have explained to the American people.

Speaker 8:
[62:53] What's the explanation?

Speaker 7:
[62:54] I have given them the explanation.

Speaker 8:
[62:56] Do you want to tell our viewers because they're-

Speaker 7:
[62:57] I don't want to tell you jack shit.

Speaker 1:
[62:59] How about that?

Speaker 7:
[63:00] Okay.

Speaker 8:
[63:01] Have a good day. Thank you, Carla Simon.

Speaker 1:
[63:04] I don't want to tell you jack shit. Okay.

Speaker 7:
[63:08] All right.

Speaker 1:
[63:09] $29.9 million in revision to your taxes. Cool. The weird thing is, man, I don't know if Minnesota cares at this point. They haven't done shit. So it's like maybe they're just fine with it in that state. Fuck. Maybe we should put an LLC in that goddamn state because it sure wouldn't matter. We can come up with a fun Somalian name and just have people hang, dude, if we wanted to. But goddamn, how much shit can this woman possibly do? The winery dissolved the LLC nine days after her amended financial disclosure. Nine.

Speaker 2:
[63:49] I think we should, this is what we should do a show maybe on Friday. We'll make it our Friday show. And we'll just go through like ChatGPT or GROC or something and try to create the best possible scam. You know what I mean? Here's what we'll do. We'll ask it like what, give me a list of like the top 25 government programs that receive funding cross-reference by how much or little they verify all the paperwork before you actually get money in your pocket. And then we'll figure out which scam or scams with a fucking you know, an S and parentheses at the end, because we may do more than one. We've got a lot of time on our hands. Not right now because we're all moving and shit. But in a couple of weeks, when this is all settled, we're going to have plenty of free time. We can rob these motherfuckers blind. Yeah, they're going to do it. Let's do it. I mean, let's just rob everybody. And then, you know, we'll use the money to fund our own private police force. We're going to hire Christian Slater, just like Cups. He's going to be my cop. And I'm going to send him after anybody that comes near me. That's how it's going to go.

Speaker 1:
[64:55] I mean, Jim Jordan just posted this three hours ago on his Twitter. He said SPLC fraud, ActBlue fraud, California Medicare fraud, Minnesota daycares fraud, fire aid fraud. What's next? That's what he said. What's next?

Speaker 2:
[65:11] Oh, I responded to that. Congress.

Speaker 1:
[65:13] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[65:15] Congress is the biggest fraud of all, because they haven't done a fucking thing. They haven't codified one DOJ cut. They haven't done shit. Congress is the biggest fraud in American government right now, by far. More than Somalians, more than anybody else.

Speaker 1:
[65:29] The SPLC employee of the year, by the way, did go to Ray Epps in 2021. I'm looking inside their office. Congratulations to Ray and all those guys. But yeah, I say this all the time. I'm curious to go home and watch the news tonight and see how they're going to cover this and how they're going to spin this and what's happening. I genuinely think before even turning on ABC or NBC or CNX and everything else, they're going to treat this as an investigation is happening versus, hey dude, we know where this money went. I mean, they're telling you the exact dollar amounts, where this went to and who took the fucking money and all that other shit. This will be glossed over the same as everything else has. But Democrats are great at it. What's a Republican scam recently? That's what I was trying to think of on the drive over here.

Speaker 2:
[66:23] Pretending to be conservative is a pretty big scam. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[66:26] Texas is great at that. The lawmakers here in Texas are excellent at pretending to be Republican. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[66:33] Calling yourself conservative, the conservative party, while you preside over the largest expansion of the federal government in history, that's pretty fucking good scam.

Speaker 1:
[66:41] Yeah. But you're not getting money from that.

Speaker 2:
[66:44] Oh, yeah, they did. You don't think Dick Cheney got paid?

Speaker 1:
[66:47] Ah, you're right. You're right.

Speaker 2:
[66:48] Shit.

Speaker 1:
[66:49] You're right.

Speaker 2:
[66:50] All of these motherfuckers and all of the people who have made themselves wildly wealthy while in office as well. Mark Wayne Mullin is well, he was already rich. A lot of these people are rich and get richer. Mark Wayne Mullin definitely has some shady stock trades. Marjorie Taylor Greene had some pretty shady stock trades. A lot of people on the right.

Speaker 4:
[67:07] Well, you need the capital.

Speaker 1:
[67:09] You need the capital to do it though.

Speaker 4:
[67:10] Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, you can't just go in there and be like, oh, here's my $400 savings account. I'm a millionaire.

Speaker 1:
[67:15] I ain't going to do it.

Speaker 4:
[67:15] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[67:16] I'm not going to do it. You need some capital first. You're right. And by the way, Marjorie Taylor Greene is an excellent example. She's turned full left, by the way. I don't know if you're reading her bullshit that's coming up online.

Speaker 2:
[67:27] Well, she didn't turn anything. She was never left or right. She's a populist, right? When you're a populist in the leadership sense, then you think that you are a reflection of the population. You don't actually have any principles. You're not a leader, right? Like a leader says, this is what I believe. This is what we should believe. Here's why. Follow me. A populist says, oh, the popular sentiment in the country right now is this, so I got to do that, otherwise people won't like me. And that weaponizes the mob, and the mob are fucking idiots. You know what I mean? That's why Trump doesn't give a fuck about his decisions being popular or not. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes it's not. Like we could all do with a little bit more thoughtfulness, I guess, like not wishing death on people and shit or after they're dead, celebrating their death. I just don't see the point in that unless it's somebody that's particularly egregious, but he definitely doesn't give a shit what the media has to say about him, and that is not true of most politicians.

Speaker 1:
[68:29] Yeah, and you know, the latest from him is Spirits. Spirit Airlines apparently is running out of runway, pun intended on that one, financially, and Trump said federal government's thinking about stepping in, helping him with his $500 million loan to keep Spirit going. How do you feel about that? Because right now, we're down to what? Five airlines, something like that?

Speaker 2:
[68:58] Four major, there's been some addition, Spirit, Avello.

Speaker 1:
[69:02] Well, Spirit's the one that's about to allegedly go bankrupt here, and they're trying to figure out how to save it.

Speaker 2:
[69:07] Why is it that they're going bankrupt? I mean, I would have to know why they're going bankrupt. Is it because of some kind of government regulation over the past five or 10 years that it's causing problems like the COVID bullshit? If that's the case, then I think there's an argument for it, but corporate welfare is not a good idea, certainly.

Speaker 1:
[69:27] No, I mean, look, it's also Spirit's. Now, personally, as much as we travel, sometimes we have to take Spirit. They're the only motherfuckers that have been on time. It's weird, it's weird to say, and look, shit goes down on Spirit Airlines because it's cheap. Maybe it was too cheap all these years. Who fucking knows, dude?

Speaker 2:
[69:48] I don't know. Well, their slogan is, dead or alive will get you there on time.

Speaker 1:
[69:55] Yeah, and I like that slogan.

Speaker 2:
[69:58] I mean, I just want to get there. I don't care if I live or die.

Speaker 1:
[70:00] Same, same. Just take me to the destination. I don't care if it's like the beginning of Commando.

Speaker 2:
[70:06] Or if it's like Ace Ventura or Nature Calls when he fucking flips the truck over 80 times right into the parking space. You do that with my plane. I'm getting off and I'm tipping the fucking pilot.

Speaker 1:
[70:16] Now, apparently, why this is happening and why the government might potentially step in is there's 14,000 jobs at risk. At Spirits, and that would be quite a dent in the industry. And then obviously, that would create a bigger monopoly for the rest of these companies. They'd be able to charge higher prices than they already are. Airline tickets, you and I have flown a lot over the last 10 years here, have gone up and up and up and up, and you're getting less and less and less. So I don't know, I'm certainly not in favor of the government running an airline. Holy shit.

Speaker 2:
[70:52] No, no, I mean, just what, what are you gonna call it? Mamdani Air, you know?

Speaker 1:
[70:58] Ha, boy.

Speaker 2:
[70:59] You know, they released it.

Speaker 1:
[71:00] It would be free.

Speaker 2:
[71:00] They released the plans. It would be a free flight. They released the plans for that grocery store he wanted to do, and you can see the line items, and everything is more expensive.

Speaker 1:
[71:11] Not only more expensive, but you see, he pushed it to the last year of his term.

Speaker 2:
[71:15] Oh, sure. Yeah. But he doesn't have to... I mean, he's going to be running for re-election, right? No.

Speaker 1:
[71:21] You think that guy will be out of there? There's just no fucking way, dude.

Speaker 2:
[71:25] No, he'll run again, for sure.

Speaker 1:
[71:26] I'm not saying he won't...

Speaker 2:
[71:27] Unless there's some kind of scandal.

Speaker 1:
[71:28] I'm not saying he won't run again. I'm just saying there's no way he can win. I mean, it's already been horrific for four months, and none of this shit has come true that he said, so like... Yeah, and then, hey, keep in mind, Dan, the World Cup is heading there. The Finals are in New York this year, and some of my New Yorker friends I was hanging out with last night were telling me that they're gonna shut down the subway system and all that other shit to get trains in and out to the World Cup. Good fucking luck with that, bro. I don't see how he's gonna handle such a worldwide event as the World Cup in New York City with his bullshit on top of it, because also you need money for that.

Speaker 2:
[72:13] Well, yeah, I mean, look, the good news is it won't be snowing. No, because if so, then everybody would just die. I guess that would save time and money.

Speaker 1:
[72:22] But the problem is it's gonna be hot as fuck. Dude, taking the subway in New York in the summer is hot as fuck. People are gonna get ornery. It's gonna get out of control. It's gonna get anxious. And when you got all these people in from all over the world, the smells and scents, or whatever John Rocker said about the subway in New York will finally come to fruition. You're gonna get to see that up close and personal. And there's gonna be a lot of shit going down there, man. I just avoid that altogether, to be honest.

Speaker 2:
[72:51] Well, the bad news is Mando is not on the show today. But if you're going to New York, I would bring a tote full of Mando and just hand it out on the subway if you gotta take the subway. Otherwise, you're not gonna make it.

Speaker 1:
[73:01] Bob, they got a spray can. I think I just start spraying passengers at that point.

Speaker 4:
[73:05] Yeah, I think a mister maybe on the doors.

Speaker 1:
[73:07] Yeah, just kind of.

Speaker 2:
[73:09] You know what they should do? They should make a fucking, they should make a Manda or an S-vest where you can clack off, but it just sprays Axe body spray.

Speaker 1:
[73:17] Deodorant everywhere.

Speaker 2:
[73:18] Body spray everywhere.

Speaker 3:
[73:19] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[73:21] And then shh. Clack. Yep. And then everybody smells great for a little bit. I'd actually do that.

Speaker 2:
[73:26] I think I would do that. I would do that. Yeah. I mean, I could rig one up. You just have to rig a trigger on the top of the spray thing. That would work.

Speaker 1:
[73:34] I think Mando would be down for that, too.

Speaker 2:
[73:36] They probably would, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[73:37] Amando S-Fest, dude. You'll never stink again, dude.

Speaker 2:
[73:42] They say we saved the day. Mando, we saved the day. That would be the fucking whole thing.

Speaker 1:
[73:49] Yeah, but they're gonna have to figure out something because this is coming up real quick. What are we, a month and a half from the start of the World Cup. I think the finals bobber in July in New York. And they're at, God, what's?

Speaker 4:
[74:06] July 19th at MetLife.

Speaker 1:
[74:07] MetLife, yeah. You and I have been to MetLife. It's a hellhole anyways.

Speaker 4:
[74:12] Did you hear the most egregious thing they're doing? No tailgating allowed.

Speaker 1:
[74:18] Stop it.

Speaker 4:
[74:20] At, I think, any of the venues. It's certainly at a shit ton of them, including Arrowhead.

Speaker 2:
[74:24] Why?

Speaker 4:
[74:25] This FIFA.

Speaker 1:
[74:27] No way. Arrowhead parties too, dude.

Speaker 2:
[74:30] They can't stop you from drinking in the parking lot. FIFA is not there. FIFA is one of the most, other than the SPLC and the US government, it's one of the most corrupt organizations on earth.

Speaker 1:
[74:38] I think they're more corrupt than all of them put together.

Speaker 4:
[74:41] They just put on a slave pageant four years ago.

Speaker 9:
[74:43] Yeah, they sure did.

Speaker 1:
[74:46] They sure fucking did, man. Good luck telling people at Arrowhead in Kansas City not to fucking pregame, especially when you're paying five grand a ticket. Yeah, that ain't going to happen, friend.

Speaker 2:
[75:01] You're not stopping people at Arrowhead from drinking on a summer day. I'm sorry, that's not happening, my friend.

Speaker 1:
[75:12] No.

Speaker 2:
[75:13] I mean, not only that, but Bob, I presumably you've been to some Royals games. I've been to Royals games at the early part of the season when it's fucking 30 degrees outside still. There's people in the parking lot dancing and drinking and shit at a baseball game. You don't tailgate baseball. Nobody does this, right?

Speaker 4:
[75:30] Yeah, they do.

Speaker 2:
[75:31] They do. They tailgate everything there. There's no fucking way.

Speaker 1:
[75:33] Royals fans tailgate baseball?

Speaker 4:
[75:35] It's a blast. It's a blast. No shit. Kaufman is a very underrated stadium, although it's not long for this world.

Speaker 2:
[75:40] Oh, it's awesome.

Speaker 4:
[75:41] They just announced they're moving downtown.

Speaker 1:
[75:43] Okay. That rocks, man. Shit. Because growing up, I mean, obviously growing up in Atlanta, you're not tailgating there for obvious reasons.

Speaker 2:
[75:53] That's where the players play, so you got to be careful.

Speaker 1:
[75:54] Yeah, it used to be.

Speaker 4:
[75:56] We've moved since. Well, now you don't tailgate there. You just hit the bars.

Speaker 1:
[75:59] Yes, and that's smart, right? So they built the battery and all that other shit. But as a kid, oof.

Speaker 4:
[76:05] Oh, Jerry World is also one of the ones where tailgating is not allowed.

Speaker 1:
[76:09] No way. Jerry World parties tailgate-wise, man. Are you kidding?

Speaker 2:
[76:13] Yeah, I mean, that whole metro block in every direction and every cardinal direction from the entrances to Jerry World, there's people selling parking, selling booze, drunk people everywhere rocking around open containers, there's no fucking way.

Speaker 1:
[76:29] We've done so many, we've done HardAF events at Jerry World a million times, like, yeah, everybody's wasted. Parking's expensive as fuck. But that's one of the few places too, where they boo you at a tailgate instead of inside the stadium. I took a buddy of mine who was a Jets fan down there, and he got fucking booed wearing a jersey at the tailgate, bro, and I was like, shit, good luck telling those people. And Jerry World tickets, you know how much of those are, Bob? $6,500 for a ticket.

Speaker 4:
[77:02] Oh, I'm sure. If I pay $6,500 for a ticket, I'm doing whatever I want.

Speaker 1:
[77:05] I want.

Speaker 2:
[77:06] Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm shit. I'm going to shit a swastika in the bathroom, probably.

Speaker 1:
[77:09] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[77:09] For $6,500.

Speaker 1:
[77:10] I want somebody blowing cocaine at my asshole. Like, yeah, $6,500. That's a price of a fucking motorcycle, for Christ sakes. Yeah, I want to party. Damn, dude. That's fucked up. Yeah. All right. Then we had a weird story here where border agents uncovered RPG launchers and a cache of rifles hidden in a vehicle heading into Mexico. That's a strange one, dude. Where does one get an RPG? I'd love just to have one.

Speaker 2:
[77:45] Not answering that.

Speaker 1:
[77:49] They don't sell them on eBay. But yeah, what began as a routine inspection of a four-door Lexus crossing the US border into Mexico, escalated quickly Sunday when officers discovered a rocket-propelled grenade RPG launcher and dozens of additional weapons inside the vehicle, tucked into the cavity under the seats. They found an RPG tube, four rifles, an AvtoMats Kalashnikov AK-style pistol. I'm assuming that's Russian.

Speaker 2:
[78:20] AK Kalashnikov.

Speaker 1:
[78:22] Okay. 16 AK rifles, 24 rifle magazines, 16 rifle stocks, 20 pistol grips, and other weapons parts in the vehicle attempting to cross the border at the port near Tucson, Arizona. Tucson. So Tucson was looking to fucking party, dude.

Speaker 2:
[78:40] Shit. Yeah. I mean, two agency guys got killed in a car wreck yesterday, I think, in Mexico, doing some anti-cartel stuff. I don't know what went on there. It could have been, it could be coincidental or just an accident or something. I don't think, I haven't heard anything from any of my buddies over there yet, but yeah, there's a lot of activity. Nobody's talking about it because it's all more or less covert, but we've been doing some interesting things in Mexico.

Speaker 1:
[79:12] Okay, so is this us or them, by the way? Okay.

Speaker 2:
[79:17] That's us.

Speaker 1:
[79:17] Gotcha. Gotcha.

Speaker 2:
[79:18] I mean, look, the enemy always gets a vote too, but we're doing kinetic shit down there.

Speaker 1:
[79:22] All right. Because when you see this, obviously Mark Wayne Mullen was out there and talking about it, and this is one of his first big things here, but you're hearing a lot about this, and just small stories back and forth. I wonder what the end game is regarding the United States and the cartels down there.

Speaker 2:
[79:47] That's a good question. I don't actually know.

Speaker 1:
[79:51] There's a lot of these weapons that are going back and forth right now, and then there's been a lot of planes that have been spotted and a lot of them are saying these are Navy planes that do spy missions around Mexico. They're not doing anything. They're just spying right now, and then they're coming back here, but I don't know for what. Obviously, you always want to keep an eye on what's going on down there, but this is starting to ramp up over the past few months, and I wonder if this is part of something bigger on a larger scale.

Speaker 2:
[80:21] I mean, we're doing a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1:
[80:24] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[80:25] I'll say that.

Speaker 1:
[80:26] That's great. We're doing a lot of stuff. I'm going to call Brandon and get that made into his shirt.

Speaker 2:
[80:32] Yeah. I don't want to say too much about that because there's dudes. Let's just run it around.

Speaker 1:
[80:37] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[80:38] All right.

Speaker 1:
[80:40] And then with Iran, any updates there? I have heard nothing. Stock market continues to climb here. Are we getting close to a deal, not close to a deal? What's the story?

Speaker 2:
[80:52] What I've been hearing from buddies of mine says it's Trump has communicated to Iran that he's in no hurry to do anything. That will continue blockading them entirely costing them $500 million a day. Tehran did snatch two ships with the small gunboats, fast attack gunboats, kind of like, I mean, look, it's kind of Captain Phillips style, to be honest. It's not like they had a fucking destroyer out there and they did what we did the other day, which is destroy. But they were able to seize two boats. And I think only one vessel made it through the strait at all yesterday, if I'm not mistaken. So I'm not sure what if, I know that we sent a delegation to Pakistan. They're saying they're not going to come talk to us. The Iranians still have a couple of thousand, like small boats, like speed boats and little gunboats. I mean, if you think of like a swift boat, kind of, something like that, with machine guns and shit on it, maybe they have some rocket launcher capabilities. I'm not entirely sure about that last part. I know they have machine guns on there. So you could definitely do insurgent style stuff. I mean, unless you put an Apache on every fucking vessel that goes through, then, you know, there's always a possibility somebody gets hit. And like I said the other day, unless there's some guarantee, the insurance companies won't insure it. And as such, the shipping companies certainly aren't going to take responsibility for all that lost cargo. So, that creates an effective standstill. Now, what I would do is what I just said, put an Apache with every fucking civilian vessel that goes through there and have a fast mover F-16, F-18, 22, 35 on station. And if anybody with an Iranian flag or who doesn't have a flag that I know about, who hasn't checked in with me, shows up anywhere near that boat, I fucking blow them out of the water. I don't care who they are.

Speaker 1:
[82:58] Right.

Speaker 2:
[83:00] I think we should probably start killing more people. That's what I think.

Speaker 1:
[83:06] Well, it might be happening. I mean, according to what I'm looking at here, and all the weapons and all that other shit, if you're, you don't have to say anything. But let's say you're shipping them down there for somebody else or not, or they're being ordered from here to try to combat something we're potentially going to do. A lot of signs lead to that, and we'll leave it at that, I guess. Now, we got some fun Hollywood news to end it here today, which I love, and this is just for you. You've always asked...

Speaker 2:
[83:34] Oh, we got a new...

Speaker 1:
[83:35] You've always asked about this.

Speaker 2:
[83:37] We've got a... We do have an update, actually.

Speaker 1:
[83:40] Oh, you do?

Speaker 2:
[83:41] Yeah. We killed a shitload of Sicarios on the highway today.

Speaker 1:
[83:53] Recently?

Speaker 2:
[83:54] Earlier, like, hours. I think it was maybe 24 hours ago, something like that.

Speaker 1:
[84:03] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[84:04] It was... Yeah, so we'll see. I think...

Speaker 1:
[84:07] Why isn't that in the headlines, and why don't they report on it?

Speaker 2:
[84:09] Well, I was just talking to somebody. I don't think it's actually in the news.

Speaker 1:
[84:14] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[84:16] So I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[84:17] Well, the next one is in the news, and like I said, this is going to warm your heart. This is something you've asked for for years out of Hollywood, and you're finally going to do it, and it's cast. It's cast, and it's about to start shooting. You've always asked for a prequel of John Rambo, and for his early days in a green beret, as a green beret in the Vietnam War, and they're going to shoot it, dude.

Speaker 2:
[84:39] That's fucking sweet. Who's playing Rambo?

Speaker 1:
[84:42] Okay, great question. So, Bob, I need you to look this guy up, because I don't know him.

Speaker 2:
[84:46] I just want to go on record. I don't know if anybody else has been talking about this at all.

Speaker 1:
[84:50] You're the only one I've ever heard this from.

Speaker 2:
[84:52] That one and the prequel to John Kreese, Man on Fire, a prequel to it. There's another reboot coming out soon, which looks like it's going to be fucking dope. But I want to see a prequel of him as either Marine or SAD or both, like the whole fucking process. I mean, the most important part of it would be him as a recon Marine, getting recruited into the program over at the agency, and then show him this fucking schwackin dude. All the stuff that made him so angry about being alive by the time we catch up with him in the future, right? I would love to see that. But this Rambo thing is fucking dope.

Speaker 1:
[85:27] Yeah, and here's the thing.

Speaker 2:
[85:29] Rambo received the Medal of Honor, right? Like he was a Medal of Honor recipient. And there's a lot of, I mean, he spent like what, four years in Vietnam or some shit? If you read the backstory, I think it's four years total. There's a lot of goddamn, there's a lot of content there to be made.

Speaker 1:
[85:44] I don't know if he was a part of the Ted Offensive, but I'd love to see that. But Noah Centineo Bob?

Speaker 4:
[85:51] Yeah, this is him.

Speaker 1:
[85:52] I've seen him with long, I saw the picture they posted this morning in Deadline, had him with longer hair.

Speaker 4:
[85:57] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[85:58] And I find it interesting that they didn't go with somebody famous. They went with somebody who kind of looks like, you know, he is famous.

Speaker 2:
[86:06] He's in Street Fighter. He was in the Fosters all five seasons and he was-

Speaker 1:
[86:09] Oh, I just saw the trailer for Street Fighter. Okay. Yeah, that's going to be huge.

Speaker 4:
[86:14] Big year for him.

Speaker 1:
[86:15] Yeah. Fuck.

Speaker 2:
[86:17] Yeah. He was also in, let's see.

Speaker 1:
[86:23] Can I tell you one of the best castings of all time for Major Troutman? It's David Harbour from Stranger Things.

Speaker 2:
[86:30] Oh yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1:
[86:31] Fuck yeah, dude. Let's go. Like that's a great casting choice. But yeah, they're getting ready to shoot that now. Prequel to First Blood, following John Rambo's early years as a Green Beret during the Vietnam War. Let's fucking go, dude.

Speaker 2:
[86:51] Does it say when it's supposed to come out?

Speaker 1:
[86:53] Don't fuck this up. No, they're casting now, so I'd imagine that they're probably shooting. Yeah, they're probably shooting in, let's call it six, seven weeks here. I've got eight members, eight people have already been cast right now. So hopefully this is good. I wonder if Stallone wrote the scripts. He did not. Eh, I'd like to see him involved, to be honest with you, man. He loved this fucking franchise, and he had a lot to do with the later iterations, especially the ending and all that other shit. But the casting is positive so far, so we'll give it a shot. But yeah, you've been talking about this for years on this show, and it finally came true, so congratulations, to you.

Speaker 4:
[87:34] Oh, you know who the director, what he did?

Speaker 1:
[87:37] What did he do?

Speaker 4:
[87:37] Before this. I don't know if you've heard of it, Ross, but Dan, you might have, Sisu and Sisu Road to Revenge.

Speaker 2:
[87:44] Oh yeah, Sisu is one of the best combat movies to come out in like 20 years.

Speaker 1:
[87:50] What is it?

Speaker 2:
[87:51] It's fucking savage.

Speaker 1:
[87:52] I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2:
[87:53] It's fucking insane.

Speaker 4:
[87:54] Like this old hobo guy murdering Nazis in Finland or something?

Speaker 1:
[87:59] That's sweet.

Speaker 2:
[88:00] Yeah. There's an English dub of it now, but he's in Northern Finland. By the way, Finland has, they had a sniper who had the most confirmed kill in human history. It's in the mid-500 range. This isn't him or anything, but they were pretty notorious fighters in the type of terrain they were in. Yeah, this one is savage. It's like, I don't even know what to compare it to. I don't think there's anything to compare it to, to be honest, because have you ever seen just a rogue guy in a war movie set in an historic piece is just running around murdering the fuck out of everybody?

Speaker 1:
[88:36] No. How do you spell it? I'll go and look it up when I get it.

Speaker 2:
[88:41] S-I-S-U.

Speaker 1:
[88:42] Okay. You've seen it, Bob? Is it good?

Speaker 4:
[88:45] I've watched a lot of clips on YouTube randomly. I haven't watched the whole thing, but the action and the violence is hardcore.

Speaker 1:
[88:51] That's awesome.

Speaker 4:
[88:52] Like hard fucking core.

Speaker 1:
[88:53] If you're going to shoot a Vietnam movie, I think it should be hardcore.

Speaker 4:
[88:56] I mean, it's almost like a combination of John Wick and Inglourious Basterds.

Speaker 1:
[89:02] Oh shit. Let's go. So this could be dope then. All right. Hey, look, Hollywood is making more movies. Box office is higher than ever and people are into it. So I'm all for it, man. And Dan, congratulations on your dream here. But yeah, dude, that was dope when I read that. I was like, all right, that's something I want to see. And I'm surprised I made it. Surprised I made it, especially without Stallone, dude. But here we go. And David Harbour, fuck yeah. That rocks. So I'm amped to see that. All right. Now is the point of the show. We get to the Drinkin Bro of the Week. You can submit on drinkinbros.com. Dan, I'll let you go, I'll call you right out to the show. Because I'll be with you next week and I'll fill you in on the details. After the show is over, I'll give you a quick call. But we'll bring up Drinkin Bro of the Week here on air.

So how big are you? Now, I do want to say this, because we see the back end numbers here. Do you know what are our most popular sizes for Drinkin Bros shirts?

Speaker 4:

[90:53] 2X and 3X.

Speaker 4:
[90:54] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[90:55] Those are the ones. So I want to see how big this fucking dude is, for Christ's sakes man, because I'm a big dude. This chair I take everywhere. It is, go open the back of my trunk. There's a bunch of listeners in the studio, you'll see them in there. I take them everywhere. Those are my favorites, and everybody wanted them back, and this one dickhead is like, it didn't fit me.

It was super late. There's 35,000 people who are now subscribed to that app. It is free. That is why Dan and I pay for it. You got video, Titty Tuesday, all kinds of crazy shit in there. If you need help, there is somebody there to talk to you 24 hours a day and you don't have to wait for an admin. Just don't be an asshole. The guy who keeps posting on the fucking chair, show me your size. I just want to see how big you are and then maybe I'll say, all right, cool man, we don't have your size. Jesus Christ man, but I'm 6'4, 220. I fit in that thing. It is amazing. And selfishly, I wanted more too. I'm with you guys. I wanted that goddamn thing, but it was expensive.

Speaker 11:
[93:42] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[93:42] Which one?

Speaker 11:
[93:43] The HardAF.

Speaker 1:
[93:44] Fuck you. That's you?

Speaker 11:
[93:45] Yeah. I grew a beard since then.

Speaker 1:
[93:47] Holy shit. You look totally different.

Speaker 11:
[93:48] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[93:49] I like the beard.

Speaker 11:
[93:49] I retired and got skinnier and.

Speaker 1:
[93:52] You look great. You look totally different.

Speaker 11:
[93:54] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[93:54] Holy shit. What did you do?

Speaker 11:
[93:57] You know.

Speaker 1:
[93:57] How did you get skinnier?

Speaker 11:
[93:59] A shot and not eating and retiring from military.

Speaker 1:
[94:03] A shot? What are you talking about? Like Ozempic?

Speaker 11:
[94:05] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[94:05] Oh, yeah. Yeah. Who cares? There's a ton of people on it. Look, man, if you're having health problems, I'm trying to get my fucking dad to do it right now. I'm like, dude.

Speaker 11:
[94:14] It's the best thing I've ever done.

Speaker 1:
[94:16] Everybody who's been on the show says the same thing. I'm like, it's cheap, right? How much is it?

Speaker 11:
[94:21] I was in the military and I get it for free. Really? I'm a top two diabetic then. Diabetic? All right. They gave me that. I know Dan talks a lot of shit about that, but now I'm not.

Speaker 1:
[94:33] Here's the thing. I won't and here's why. If you can correct your life overnight and cure yourself of something like diabetes for Christ sakes, yeah, take it, dude, but also work out, walk every day, run, do whatever you can to make yourself healthy, obviously, and you look healthy. Fuck, man, you look totally different. I didn't even recognize you.

Speaker 11:
[94:52] I had that blue shirt on. You took pictures right here.

Speaker 1:
[94:54] I know, you look great. Congratulations.

Speaker 11:
[94:56] Thanks.

Speaker 1:
[94:57] Yeah, shit.

Speaker 11:
[94:58] So I wanted to come, I told you I'd come when I retired, and I'm retired now, so I can talk a little bit about.

Speaker 1:
[95:03] Congratulations, round of applause. You just retired. How many years?

Speaker 11:
[95:07] 32.

Speaker 1:
[95:08] No way. Which branch?

Speaker 11:
[95:10] Air Force. All right, man.

Speaker 1:
[95:11] So what do you do now?

Speaker 11:
[95:14] Nothing.

Speaker 1:
[95:14] That's dope, dude. That's dope. How old are you?

Speaker 11:
[95:18] 51.

Speaker 1:
[95:18] 51. Is that weird, retiring at 51?

Speaker 11:
[95:21] Not really.

Speaker 1:
[95:22] OK, good.

Speaker 11:
[95:23] I mean, I'm still going to do some later, but I'm just taking time off. Time off.

Speaker 1:
[95:26] Yeah. Because I always wondered what would happen if you could retire at like 50, 51, like what that's like, you know? Because let's take the NFL players that are on our show for Drinkin Bros Sports. Whenever they retire, and it's usually like at 28 to 32, you know, you're like, hey, dude, what do you do with the next 50 years of your life? Like for you, what do you do with the next 30 years of your life?

Speaker 11:
[95:46] Well, all that stuff that you had that you needed to do, that you couldn't do because you worked, you do that.

Speaker 1:
[95:53] Awesome. So what is that? Vacations?

Speaker 11:
[95:55] Vacation, visit parents, visit other stuff, do odds and ends around the house. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[96:03] Okay.

Speaker 11:
[96:03] You know, and you got that yard that looks good now, and you get the kids.

Speaker 1:
[96:08] Finally, right?

Speaker 11:
[96:08] Yeah. Get off my yard.

Speaker 1:
[96:10] Yeah. Get off my fucking land, dude. Get off my fucking yard.

Speaker 11:
[96:13] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[96:14] My lawn.

Speaker 11:
[96:15] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[96:15] That's it.

Speaker 11:
[96:16] So that's what you do.

Speaker 1:
[96:17] All right. You're married?

Speaker 11:
[96:18] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[96:18] Kids?

Speaker 11:
[96:19] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[96:20] Are they still in the house?

Speaker 11:
[96:21] No, I got a daughter that went to A&M.

Speaker 1:
[96:24] Congratulations.

Speaker 11:
[96:25] She graduates this May 6th, and then she goes to UT Health Science Center for doctorate in PT.

Speaker 1:
[96:36] All right. Right on. Congratulations, man. Holy shit.

Speaker 11:
[96:38] Then my son's an electrician.

Speaker 1:
[96:39] All right. Hey, electricians are making a lot of money these days.

Speaker 11:
[96:42] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[96:43] So good for him.

Speaker 11:
[96:44] Hey, I won't take their job anytime soon.

Speaker 1:
[96:46] It sure won't, dude. It's funny, man. All these blue collar jobs. I've said this a million times on the show at the end. Blue collar jobs going up to the roof. Bro shit. See you later, bro.

Speaker 11:
[96:54] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[96:55] It was fun for a while. They made funny of everybody who was blue collar worker. Now, shit ain't so funny.

Speaker 11:
[97:00] He's making more money than people that graduated college.

Speaker 1:
[97:03] You're goddamn right. I see it every single day.

Speaker 11:
[97:06] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[97:07] No lie. So congratulations, man. That's awesome to hear for real. I always thought it was odd when people made fun of blue collar jobs.

Speaker 11:
[97:15] Yeah. But they're the first one they call.

Speaker 1:
[97:17] Yeah. When you need shit and immediately, who the you're going to call?

Speaker 11:
[97:21] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[97:21] Blue collar guy. You're not calling a tech bro.

Speaker 11:
[97:24] No.

Speaker 1:
[97:24] Hey man. Fuck. Fuck. It's my sink. It's my faucet. It's my bucket. Whatever it is. Fence. Car doesn't work. All this shit. That's who you're calling.

Speaker 11:
[97:35] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[97:35] That's who you're calling. Who do you want to give Drinkin Bros a week to?

Speaker 11:
[97:38] So retired Lieutenant Colonel Mike McCoy. Okay. Call sign Bones. Bones.

Speaker 1:
[97:45] You got a bunch of people screaming Bones back there.

Speaker 11:
[97:47] Yeah. He was an F-16 pilot. We lost him on September 20th last year. He was an airline pilot. He retired as an F-16 pilot and he flew vintage aircraft. Unfortunately, we lost him and his wife in an aircraft accident in Houston.

Speaker 1:
[98:08] Fuck. I'm sorry to hear that.

Speaker 11:
[98:10] He was an all-around American dude and he loved America.

Speaker 1:
[98:14] Well, all the buddies you're with just screamed out Bones back there.

Speaker 11:
[98:17] Bones is fucking awesome.

Speaker 1:
[98:19] They knew him as well?

Speaker 11:
[98:20] Oh, yeah. In the Air Force, I was a crew chief, which means I was their mechanic. He was a pilot, so I got to know him and a lot of pilots are arrogant and stuff. No offense to anybody else at this pilot. But they love their crew chiefs, the people that work on the aircraft. So he took us under his wing and when he retired, he didn't stop talking to us. He always kept in touch with us.

Speaker 1:
[98:51] That's awesome, man.

Speaker 11:
[98:52] So yeah, we lost him on September 20th and it was a sad ordeal.

Speaker 1:
[98:57] God damn.

Speaker 11:
[98:58] Him and his wife at the same time.

Speaker 1:
[99:00] Do you mind me asking how?

Speaker 11:
[99:02] Aircraft crash.

Speaker 1:
[99:03] Yeah, but was private or?

Speaker 11:
[99:06] Yeah. So he was in an air show and he was flying a vintage aircraft in Houston and somehow he lost lift and it went down and-

Speaker 1:
[99:19] Got it. I remember reading about that in the news.

Speaker 11:
[99:21] Yeah. So it sucked, but he was a great dude.

Speaker 1:
[99:26] Okay. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, man. On a happier note, congratulations on retiring.

Speaker 11:
[99:33] Oh, yeah. These guys back here are retired too. So we all decided we're going to come up here before you leave.

Speaker 1:
[99:40] One last time.

Speaker 11:
[99:40] Yep. All right.

Speaker 1:
[99:41] I love it, man. Shit. Thank you.

Speaker 2:
[99:44] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[99:46] I'll tell you what, I'll give you something from Set here before you take off.

Speaker 11:
[99:49] I appreciate it.

Speaker 1:
[99:50] That way you guys can take it with you. I appreciate this for Set.

Speaker 9:
[99:53] I mean, I love looking at it.

Speaker 11:
[99:54] Every time I see it, I let everybody know, hey, I made that.

Speaker 9:
[99:57] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[99:57] I was going to say, is that something you did for fun?

Speaker 5:
[100:01] Yeah.

Speaker 11:
[100:01] I mean, I've sold a few of them. I mean, not that, but I've sold some.

Speaker 1:
[100:06] Because maybe the reason why I ask is maybe that's your second career. Because this is dope as shit. We hung it up on Set. I mean, it's been a part of the Set for a long time now.

Speaker 11:
[100:14] Oh, I know. I was going to Montana the next day because I came here, gave it to you guys and I was leaving for Montana the next day and I didn't get to stick around. But anyway, I appreciate you doing that.

Speaker 1:
[100:26] I appreciate you making it for us. And here's the thing, if it wasn't dope as shit, we wouldn't put it up. So clearly, it was rad and we hung it up. So thank you very much. Yeah, absolutely. And then can your other guys come up here? They all retire.

Speaker 11:
[100:39] I mean, if they want to. Yeah. They've had enough HardAF.

Speaker 1:
[100:43] If not, you don't have to. But yeah, feel free to come up one at a time. I work for you guys, dude. So yeah, come on up.

Speaker 9:
[100:51] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[100:52] Cheers, buddy.

Speaker 9:
[100:53] Absolutely.

Speaker 1:
[100:53] Thank you.

Speaker 9:
[100:55] Cheers.

Speaker 1:
[100:56] Look at this fucking young jack dude here. Son of a bitch. Not young, but not as young as me. You don't need it. You don't need it. All good. You know what's funny? You can sit down. Just put the microphone in front of about an inch in front of your face. It's funny. I only wear headphones, obviously, if we're listening to clips, and it's because my voice is so loud, this helps me tone it down. I have Ryan actually jack up my own volume in here, so that way I speak lower. Otherwise, it would be way louder.

Speaker 10:
[101:28] Everything he's saying is true.

Speaker 1:
[101:29] Yes. It would be way louder than Dan's. You guys have bitched about it for years, and to even it out, I figured, all right, if I wear headphones, then I won't yell. It's only because you're a little bit further apart than you think, and Dan speaks so low. I'm like, what the fuck you say? That's dead serious. Without it, that's why. But talk right into that microphone there, sir. What's your name? You can pull it. It moves, go ahead.

Speaker 9:
[101:55] Hassan, Jason.

Speaker 1:
[101:57] Hassan, Jason.

Speaker 9:
[101:57] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[101:58] Nice to meet you, man. Where are you from?

Speaker 9:
[102:00] San Antonio. I live in San Antonio.

Speaker 1:
[102:02] Okay, right on. How many HardAF Seltzers have you had?

Speaker 9:
[102:05] Six.

Speaker 8:
[102:05] Oh, boy.

Speaker 1:
[102:07] I could tell when you walked up here.

Speaker 9:
[102:09] Shit.

Speaker 1:
[102:09] Yeah. Boy, it's starting to hit you. It's nice. He's not going to remember this. He's not going to remember this. I know. I could be Candace Owens right now, and he wouldn't fucking know.

Speaker 9:
[102:21] I doubt it.

Speaker 1:
[102:23] You wouldn't fucking know it, dude. Who do you want to give Drinkin Bros a week to?

Speaker 9:
[102:28] I would stick with Bones. Bones is badass. Yeah. He was a great pilot. He gave me my only ride in a P-51 Mustang.

Speaker 1:
[102:37] P-51 Mustang. That's dope. Yes, sir.

Speaker 9:
[102:39] That is nuts. I've had two in F-16. P-51 with Bones was the best.

Speaker 1:
[102:44] That's awesome, man. Well, I'm sorry. You guys were all best friends in real life? Yeah.

Speaker 9:
[102:49] We all worked together.

Speaker 1:
[102:49] The three of you guys all worked together.

Speaker 9:
[102:51] For the past, since 2000, well, them since 97, I think.

Speaker 1:
[102:55] Since 97. Shit. God, that sucks. man. I'm sorry to hear that.

Speaker 9:
[102:59] 2003, I showed up. You know, young buck.

Speaker 1:
[103:02] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 11:
[103:03] We took him under the wing.

Speaker 1:
[103:04] Yeah, you took him under the wing, pun intended, obviously. And shit. We'll bring up your third buddy here.

Speaker 9:
[103:10] Mitchell.

Speaker 1:
[103:11] Come on up, dude. Come on up. I love when a Mexican walks up with a hat that says Fajita on it, dude, leaning into the racism. Put that mic about an inch from your face.

Speaker 9:
[103:24] All right.

Speaker 1:
[103:25] Good to go there. Tell everybody your name.

Speaker 12:
[103:27] My name is Mitch.

Speaker 1:
[103:30] Where are you from, Mitch?

Speaker 12:
[103:31] I'm from Converse, but I've lived in Medina County for years and now I live in San Antonio. So, all right.

Speaker 1:
[103:39] So you guys have been talking about Bones, your buddy here. You've got a Bones shirt on it looks like.

Speaker 12:
[103:44] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[103:45] Is that for him? It's not totally separate?

Speaker 12:
[103:48] No, it is. I used to skateboard. I mean.

Speaker 1:
[103:50] Oh, you're does that's Bones.

Speaker 12:
[103:51] I mean, you're talking about Bones.

Speaker 1:
[103:53] Oh, shit.

Speaker 12:
[103:53] I just happened to wear it because I was like, you know, it goes good with my shoes and my pants. And yeah, and I do have a little bit of a ink. I'm starting culinary school in a week.

Speaker 1:
[104:05] Okay. And you got the you got a hat that just says fajita on it as a Mexican.

Speaker 12:
[104:08] Yeah, because I love I love the barbecue. Oh, you do?

Speaker 9:
[104:11] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[104:12] Yeah. Yeah. Right on. What was your name again?

Speaker 12:
[104:15] Mitch.

Speaker 1:
[104:16] Mitch. Who do you want to give Drinkin Bros a week to?

Speaker 12:
[104:19] Same with Bones. Yeah. I mean, I didn't I didn't wear this for him.

Speaker 1:
[104:23] I thought you did.

Speaker 12:
[104:24] But and I didn't know this was part of the deal, but it was just ironic. And, you know, yeah, I'm glad I did. You know, yeah, for real. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[104:33] I would have lied.

Speaker 12:
[104:34] That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:
[104:35] I just would have said, oh, yeah, dude, it was for Bones, bro.

Speaker 12:
[104:37] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[104:37] Made this T-shirt and everything. I'm kidding. But that is pretty fucking funny, man.

Speaker 12:
[104:41] I had zero HardAFs, but.

Speaker 1:
[104:44] Yo, you're sober?

Speaker 12:
[104:45] Right now, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[104:46] Oh, so you're just retarded. I know. That's cool. I was like, man, I couldn't tell.

Speaker 12:
[104:54] And I was like, no, I'm joking. I just got to get focused on, you know, I'm going back to school. I'm 52 years old.

Speaker 1:
[105:02] 52 years old and you're going back to culinary school. Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 12:
[105:04] I'm going to culinary school.

Speaker 1:
[105:06] How long is culinary school?

Speaker 12:
[105:08] It's going to be 18 months.

Speaker 1:
[105:09] That's not bad.

Speaker 12:
[105:10] Going down to the Pearl. That's where I'm going to be.

Speaker 1:
[105:13] Oh, at the Pearl?

Speaker 12:
[105:14] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[105:14] In San Antonio? Okay, shit. I've eaten down there a bunch, man. I'm a fan of a lot of those restaurants.

Speaker 12:
[105:18] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[105:19] It's weird there's a bridge over it though. That always weirds me out.

Speaker 12:
[105:22] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[105:22] Where I'm like, hey, we're just eating under a bridge right now and cars are driving over us. But it is fun and the hype is real. Like I enjoyed it when I was there.

Speaker 12:
[105:30] We were there like almost every other weekend.

Speaker 1:
[105:32] There was a steak house. I used to eat there with Matt, Jared and Evan all the time down there. Yeah, it was right. If you walk at that other bar that's underneath the bridge and walk under the bridge, it's right over there. It's a collection of restaurants. It was fantastic. We used to sit at the bar and order steaks there. It was great. Yeah.

Speaker 12:
[105:51] I can't afford that kind of food right now.

Speaker 1:
[105:54] I understand. You're in school, brother.

Speaker 12:
[105:56] Yeah. I'm unemployed.

Speaker 1:
[106:00] You're unemployed too and going to school?

Speaker 12:
[106:02] I just did it for retirement civil service. So I'm just going to do this, man, do my dream.

Speaker 1:
[106:08] Okay. Well, hey, best of luck, man, for real.

Speaker 12:
[106:10] Appreciate you.

Speaker 1:
[106:11] We need great cooks out there.

Speaker 12:
[106:13] Thank you.

Speaker 1:
[106:14] Great chefs, for real.

Speaker 12:
[106:15] Appreciate you. Thank you.

Speaker 1:
[106:16] No, thanks for being here. Thank you guys for tuning in. Go to iTunes, rate the show a five star and leave a quick review. Then head over to Spotify. Ryan, you're working on that back catalog along with Coop here.

Speaker 10:
[106:30] Yeah. Stuff from recently has been uploaded. So yeah, that's all caught up.

Speaker 1:
[106:34] Okay. So we're caught up from all that other stuff.

Speaker 10:
[106:36] Just to explain for the audience. For Patreon, obviously we want our Patreon viewers.

Speaker 1:
[106:40] Patreon is always Patreon. Yes.

Speaker 10:
[106:41] Some stuff will be missing, but everything regular is already, yeah, we're getting it up and it's good to go.

Speaker 11:
[106:45] Great.

Speaker 1:
[106:47] Because Spotify video is amazing. They've treated us unbelievably well. And for all the controversy we've had over the years, for a network to say we don't give a fuck what you do, that has never happened before. They don't care. They don't ever check in. They never give us one note ever. They're just like, keep doing the show you're fucking doing and the ratings are great. And we love the production value. So that's all we hear from Spotify. Even when we play illegal music, I go, what happens then? I go, Spotify gives us a copyright. I go, we actually monetize the artists because we're Spotify. And I was like, shit, well, that rocks. So we can just kind of do and play whatever we want. They're like, yeah, just keep doing your normal show. So never a bad word to say about Spotify. Like for real, man, they've been fucking awesome to us. It is rare in today's world to say whatever the fuck you want. And let's face it, we do on a daily basis, day in and day out. Thank you for sticking with us over the years. Move, a lot of people are you asking, when will be the first official show in Wilmington? That'll be June 1st. We do have the building that is locked in, all the other shits, and then we'll start slowly moving the sets over. So I'll stay here and help out with my Hollywood bullshit. Dan is back there and he's going to start setting that up. And then June 1st will be our first official live show in our new studio in Wilmington, North Carolina. We love you. For Dan and Anthony Hollaway, I'm Ross Patterson.
