Speaker 1:
[00:00] Let's talk about Hasan Piker.

Speaker 2:
[00:02] Since the 2024 election, journalists and mainstream media and the Democrat Party has said, where's our liberal Joe Rogan? And they found him.

Speaker 1:
[00:12] Yes, they did.

Speaker 2:
[00:13] He just happens to believe America Deserves 9-11.

Speaker 3:
[00:15] Oh, you know, defund the police, because everything's going to work out. And then we have these taxpayer-funded grocery stores and everything's going to work out. And we'll just giggle along with this guy who says America Deserves 9-11.

Speaker 2:
[00:25] This is an ideology based on theft and murder. That's what communism is.

Speaker 4:
[00:33] Congress must not take away parents' control over their kids' personal information. The App Store Accountability Act forces you to upload your child's sensitive documents, like a birth certificate, and it would share that information too broadly. A calculator doesn't need to know how old your child is. A better approach puts parents in control while keeping kids safe online. Parents should decide what of their children's information is shared with an app developer. Tell Congress, prioritize parents and keep them in control. There are better solutions to keep kids safe online. This is America. Parents should be in control of what's best for our children.

[01:34] This program has become one of the most influential podcasts in America. I love the personality. You guys are killing it.

Speaker 2:
[01:41] I just saw your number one.

Speaker 5:
[01:42] Congratulations.

Speaker 1:
[01:43] It's an honor and a pleasure to welcome the great Sean Hannity.

Speaker 6:
[01:48] Guys, I love you. Congratulations on all your success.

Speaker 5:
[01:52] This is why you listen to the Ruthless Podcast, because nobody else would ask that question.

Speaker 3:
[01:55] The only political podcast worth listening to is the Ruthless Podcast.

Speaker 5:
[02:02] The Ruthless Podcast.

Speaker 1:
[02:06] Fun Time Friday! Hello and welcome back to the Ruthless Friday program. I'm Josh Holmes along with Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook left to right across your radio dial as always. Fellas, I just have to start. It's a White House Correspondence Weekend that's coming up there. There's a couple of you that are going, I think.

Speaker 2:
[02:25] Yeah, Ashbrook and I are attending.

Speaker 1:
[02:27] You guys are going?

Speaker 2:
[02:28] Nice. We got to raise the flag for the team and put these journos in their place.

Speaker 1:
[02:32] Yeah. Well, and Ashbrook, he fits in like a glove.

Speaker 2:
[02:36] Yeah, yeah. He's like behind enemy lines. Or are they enemies?

Speaker 3:
[02:40] That's the thing.

Speaker 2:
[02:40] He's like, you'll never know.

Speaker 3:
[02:44] I mean, how's it different from any other dinner he attends? It's just like table after table of journos.

Speaker 1:
[02:49] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[02:50] There's a system that we use. I don't know if you're familiar with what they did in World War II where somebody clicked and then the other person clicked twice. And that's how you knew that you were on the same side. And wasn't a German in an American uniform.

Speaker 1:
[03:02] Like a Morris Code of sorts.

Speaker 7:
[03:04] Exactly.

Speaker 1:
[03:05] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[03:05] Sometimes you say thunder and they say flash. You know, it's just little ways to be able to know that this is a journo who you can talk to.

Speaker 2:
[03:14] Do we have a secret word for Saturday?

Speaker 7:
[03:16] I'll let you know.

Speaker 1:
[03:17] Fidelio.

Speaker 2:
[03:18] Fidelio.

Speaker 1:
[03:20] Oh, gee. Like if you get that, you're sick.

Speaker 2:
[03:23] That's sick.

Speaker 1:
[03:26] If you get that, you're sick. I mean, I went through like, I don't know, probably 10 straight years of that. And this is the first one. I can't go because of children's school obligation, but this is the first one in a long time that I would go if I could. Trump's gonna be there. Seems like it could be a lot of fun. I can't wait for the reports.

Speaker 7:
[03:51] I think it's gonna be a good one. Also Oz the Mentalist, you know, that guy that does the tricks. I can't wait to see what he's gonna do.

Speaker 1:
[03:58] I can't wait. Oh, it's gonna be good. Okay, all right. So listen, there's an awful lot of that. What we aim to do here on the Ruthless Variety Program is provide you just a little bit of insight under the hood about what's driving politics one way or another. And you've heard us talk about Hasan Piker. And it's not just because we found the most objectionable Democrat we could possibly find, although we did. It's that this guy is sort of an engine. And mainstream press is now reporting the Sally Politico, New York Times, everything. He's sort of the engine behind the modern Democratic Party in a lot of ways, if not just by his association with candidates who are scrambling to try to sort of feed off of the audience that he has built. Ideologically, there is an alignment there. And we've said, like, there's a homos caucus. And, you know, for at least a year of us saying that everybody was like, that seems like a lot. It was like, now you look back, you're like, does it?

Speaker 2:
[04:54] We were right.

Speaker 1:
[04:55] I feel like we're right about all that.

Speaker 2:
[04:56] And also, there's no such thing as a moderate Democrat, because since the 2024 election, journalists and mainstream media and the Democrat Party has said, where's our liberal Joe Rogan? And they found him.

Speaker 1:
[05:10] Yes, they did.

Speaker 2:
[05:10] He just happens to believe America deserved 9-11.

Speaker 3:
[05:13] And that's actually like a quote from him. This is not like, oh, we're being a bit over the top. No, that's a quote that he's known for.

Speaker 1:
[05:21] Well, he's added a few things to the footnotes here this week that we thought you ought to be aware of, because there's an awful lot of Democrats who are trying to associate themselves with this guy. Let's just start with clip one, and we'll react.

Speaker 8:
[05:36] Would you steal from the Louvre?

Speaker 9:
[05:41] Yes.

Speaker 10:
[05:42] I would not be logistically capable of executing such a fact, but would I cheer on every news story of people that I see doing it? Absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaker 9:
[05:51] Yeah. I think it's cool. We gotta get back to cool crimes like that, like bank robberies, right? Stealing priceless artifacts, things of that nature. I feel like that's way cooler than the 7,000th new cryptocurrency scheme that people are engaging in.

Speaker 3:
[06:10] So here's the thing, it's like, okay, yeah, it's pathetic that he's like, yeah, crime is good, sure, whatever. The important context to this is, this is New York Times podcast. This is a New York Times segment.

Speaker 1:
[06:23] Wait, shut up. That's a New York Times thing?

Speaker 3:
[06:25] That's why.

Speaker 1:
[06:26] Can you put just a screenshot of that back up? I just want to see, when did the New York Times all of a sudden go call her daddy on the setup?

Speaker 3:
[06:34] Well, that's the thing is, media figured out that no one was listening to them, and they're like, well, people are listening to podcasts. We saw CNN essentially just turn their studios into a podcast set.

Speaker 1:
[06:45] They're like, I want whitewashed walls, couches, some books on the shelves, but minimalist.

Speaker 3:
[06:50] And that's the crazy thing is, the New York Times is now platforming this, and you're just seeing those idiot gals just giggling along, like, oh, Hasan, tell us to commit felonies.

Speaker 1:
[07:03] I mean, we probably don't know exactly who those people are that host this thing.

Speaker 3:
[07:06] Gia Tolentino was the idiot on the far right, and then her, I always forget her name. She got hired in 2024, Ashbrook, you should know these things. These are your journal friends.

Speaker 7:
[07:14] I'm not gonna tell you.

Speaker 3:
[07:15] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[07:16] Yeah, he doesn't want to out his friends. That's amazing. So, okay, so A.

Speaker 3:
[07:21] The New York Times is now platforming a guy who said, America deserves 9-11, who on his show, on Hasan's show, he had, he livestreams, he had an actual Huthi on, talking about how he does these terror attacks. Does terrorism. And then Hasan told his audience that, like, that guy's really cool, because there's a lot of young kids who also are on the stream. He's like, that guy's cool, everyone emulate an actual Huthi.

Speaker 7:
[07:45] I mean, you know, he's talking about, he's talking about robbing the Louvre. Maybe he just doesn't think the French are capable of stopping him. I mean, if you look at what's happened to that country, it feels like everybody just goes in and takes what they want. So he's kind of just saying what's happening.

Speaker 1:
[08:01] You know, he goes on. And apparently in the same thing, he's got another take here that's worth listening to. Clip 2.

Speaker 8:
[08:11] What about the argument that if everyone starts stealing wantonly from the self-checkout machines, Whole Foods will eventually raise the prices?

Speaker 9:
[08:20] Yeah, they... Chaos. Full chaos. Let's go. I mean, look, I'm in favor of fast and free buses and also government-owned storefronts. And two of those policies, the mayor of these beautiful cities is currently working on.

Speaker 8:
[08:38] Would you encourage stealing in the same way from a mum-donny-run city-owned grocery store with lower prices? And why?

Speaker 9:
[08:44] I would not. Because I feel like that's taxpayer-funded and the prices are... This union labor and the prices are also adjusted regardless.

Speaker 3:
[08:57] So, he's clearly an idiot, because he's living in this fantasy world of where he gets his viewers of his stream to donate him money. So, he gets a Porsche and he gets a mansion out in Los Angeles. And he tries to be edgy. So, he campaigned with Zoram and Mdani. And the funny thing about all these socialists is they think that like, oh yeah, you know, when the communist revolution happens, I'll get to be an artist and then all my groceries are free. We've seen throughout history, whenever there's a communist revolution, they put everyone who isn't sent to work on the fields against the wall and they shoot them in the head. But like, this time it'll be different. It'll actually work out. So like, they don't need to make sense when he's like, well yeah, you see the Mdani grocery store will be union labor and the prices will just adjust themselves. And then the two idiots from the New York Times, zero follow up question. And I'm like, well, here's the thing is like, anytime there's been like a government controlled grocery store, it always fucking fails.

Speaker 1:
[09:47] Is anybody else having a hard time with the concept? Like I'm having a hard time. Okay.

Speaker 3:
[09:53] This is the actual state of journalism now. That's the New York Times.

Speaker 1:
[09:55] Yeah. That's, I mean, I'm having a like, there's four things that are so confusing to me. One is the New York Times has got this cat in what appears to be a color daddy sweet, just having a thoughtful conversation about robbing people. And, and he, you know, it's the laughs and yucks. But then the second point is like, yes, to robbing mom and pop shops that work their asses off to try to provide for their communities in the hopes that they can make a living to do things like, you know, help the kids softball team, throw a sponsor on the back of the little league jersey, you know, and maybe have a modest living for their own. Rob them. The taxpayer fund, the largest organization other than the United States federal government, the New York City government, in, I think it's the case still that it's at least four fifths of the world. Like, I think it's that large. That is not worth robbing, because it's sort of sacrosanct.

Speaker 2:
[11:00] Well, I mean, in Hasan Piker's worldview, capitalism is economic violence. That mom and pop storefront is the petty bourgeoisie that needs to be destroyed. This is an ideology based on theft and murder. That's what communism is.

Speaker 3:
[11:17] And that's the thing is, Duncan is completely correct. And I think that leads exactly into clip three, perfectly.

Speaker 9:
[11:24] Engels wrote about the concept of social murder. And Brian Thompson, as the United Health Care CEO, was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder, the systematized forms of violence.

Speaker 3:
[11:41] That's New York Times journos nodding along as he says, the murder of a guy shot in the back was justified because he was committing, quote, social murders. And that's the thing that Duncan just said, is like everything communism is built upon is theft and murder. None of it is actually built upon a system of laws and a system of justice like the one we have in this country. It's being able to target, rob and kill your enemies. That's why they have these like, oh, it's social murder. That's what he's guilty of. Describe what it is. Oh, you know, the social murder, because they have to keep it nebulous. So they can be like, well, that guy's an enemy of the state. He deserves to be killed and murdered.

Speaker 1:
[12:19] Yeah. Do you guys get the further, Johnny, this is a question for you. The further you get removed from government, the more radically right-wing you become.

Speaker 11:
[12:28] Because that's where I'm at.

Speaker 1:
[12:30] I mean, when we were in government, and times have changed, no question. It didn't used to be like this. Like we didn't have to entertain questions like that. But it was all a chess game. And it was basically you are up against somebody who doesn't view the world the same way. But it's like, what moves do you make that put you in the most advantageous position to accomplish your goal, or at least most of your goal, versus the other person? Or do you just fuck it up and they run the board on you? Like that's the way I kind of saw the world for as long as I was in government. The longer that I'm out of it, the more you realize there are crazy people amongst us that are now the mainstream of an opposition. And to the extent that there's any Democrat, there's no moderate Democrat, but there's any Democrat who's not like, murder and steal or whatever, they are downstream from that representation that is now the vast majority of a Democratic primary electorate.

Speaker 7:
[13:32] Yeah, I think that's right. But I also think like, when we were working there, there was nobody like this leading the Democrats so hard to the left. I mean, Tom Harkin.

Speaker 1:
[13:44] No, they like to fake it.

Speaker 7:
[13:45] Yeah, Tom Harkin and Barbara Mikulski, as much as you might have disagreed with them, were never talking about, oh, you know, social murder, therefore it's justified to shoot some guy in the back. It's wild. Oh, you should be able to rob the grocery store. Like, this is insane.

Speaker 3:
[13:57] Technical team, do we have the capability of running Clip 2 Muted so I can talk over it? Is that a doable thing? All right, let's run that real quick. So here's the thing, when you talk about like, these are New York Times reporters. And here's the thing is, so much of the modern left is essentially like chubby women on SSRIs. Why are we attacking here? Look, they're giggling along to this guy being like, look, murder and theft are great. And they're like, ah, that's so, part of the reason the left has become so radicalized is you have these kind of people who have these like luxury beliefs. They're like, well, our families have money and we're set and we were for the New York Times. So we think it's funny to have like theft and crime. And they can have these beliefs of like, oh, you know, defund the police cause everything's gonna work out. And then we have these like, you know, taxpayer funded grocery stores and everything's gonna work out. And we'll just giggle along with this guy who says America deserves 9-11. They all have deep, deep like, they're deeply unwell. They're mentally unwell. They have nothing going for them. Like, they're not gonna have to worry about, do I want my world, the world for my kids to be better? No, they want to giggle along with Hasan Piker. He's like, well, we should shoot and maim people. And there's a, you know, the guy who got shot in the back midtown with kids. Yeah, he deserves that shit too.

Speaker 2:
[15:12] Yeah, I think you're exactly right, Smug. I mean, for these people, communism is like a fantasy that they get to engage in as a thought experiment because if it ever actually came, they would think of themselves as slightly removed from that. They don't have to worry about defunding the police because they live in a gated community, right? Like stuff like that.

Speaker 3:
[15:30] Exactly right.

Speaker 2:
[15:31] So they really enjoy, they relish the opportunity to talk about this utopia that they would build because they wouldn't actually be held to account for who they are and what they do.

Speaker 1:
[15:39] Oh, you're right.

Speaker 3:
[15:41] And the last context I wanted to give in this segment about Hasan Piker is most folks probably don't know this, hopefully you've never had to see his stream, but a few months ago, he kind of got a lot of attention and went viral because during his live stream, he has a pet dog and like he'll stream for like six, seven hours and the dog's having to like sit in one place and people are like, that can't be like great for a dog. And they're like, how does the dog just stay there? Clip four is going to explain how he keeps the dog there.

Speaker 9:
[16:08] Of all of America's much more consequential The dog tries moving? Violence, okay? It's the same reason as to why America, Kaia, please just fucking go, stop.

Speaker 3:
[16:21] He hits the button and electrocutes the dog with a shock collar and gets in place. And so all these people like went and they went combed through all these videos of his, of the dog. They matched the model number, exact model of the collar that he uses to shock his dog if it tries to move.

Speaker 7:
[16:39] So the dog is a prop.

Speaker 3:
[16:40] The dog is a prop because he gets people like donate, donate for puppy.

Speaker 1:
[16:44] Immediately Ashbrook is like, where do I subscribe to that?

Speaker 7:
[16:47] Yeah. What do I subscribe to? I think there's always a line. I feel like that guy crossed it.

Speaker 3:
[16:52] So Ashbrook has a really lovely dog and it's a good dog because like when I go over, we're having ribs and the dog's not a menace about it. It's a very well-behaved dog. It'll come up, it'll let you pet you, and then it goes over to its pillow. Very well-behaved.

Speaker 1:
[17:05] I never would have guessed it would have made it this long.

Speaker 3:
[17:06] It's not like Duncan's dog who's just like a menace.

Speaker 2:
[17:09] I mean, that's just a lie.

Speaker 3:
[17:10] Oh no, attention.

Speaker 2:
[17:10] That's just a lie.

Speaker 3:
[17:11] There's a scout, he needs the attention, but there's never a good reason to shock a damn dog, which is what Hasan Piker did.

Speaker 2:
[17:19] His dog is a menace. My dog's not a menace? Ranger is a great dog.

Speaker 3:
[17:23] Ranger, that's the one. Oh yeah, it's one-cotted scout. Scout, yeah. Scouting for attention, that one never gets enough.

Speaker 1:
[17:33] I can't believe this guy electrocutes his dog. That's insane, right? But I don't understand why it's important for him to have this dog in the background.

Speaker 3:
[17:41] Well, because his supporters, he can be like, oh no, you gotta donate. Look at Doggo, donate for Doggo.

Speaker 1:
[17:48] And that's a thing for socialists?

Speaker 2:
[17:49] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[17:50] They're like, hey, we are only in if Doggo's around.

Speaker 3:
[17:51] Well, clearly they care more about animals than people, because they're like, well, you gotta execute people.

Speaker 2:
[17:55] I mean, it works for the homeless. You ever see a dog chained up with a homeless person who's on drugs? It's horrific to see.

Speaker 1:
[18:01] Yeah, it's awful.

Speaker 2:
[18:02] But then you really feel bad.

Speaker 1:
[18:04] You do. You do. So maybe that is part of the deal.

Speaker 3:
[18:07] And that's the other thing is like, it's wild how there was more-

Speaker 1:
[18:10] How would he know, by the way? He's talking into a live stream, the dog's walking around behind him.

Speaker 2:
[18:14] I think he can see himself.

Speaker 3:
[18:16] Here, can you run that back? Watch his hand move to the button to hit it.

Speaker 9:
[18:19] All of America's much more consequential-

Speaker 1:
[18:21] How would you throw him off?

Speaker 3:
[18:23] So violent. Because the dog is moving. He can see himself in his own stream.

Speaker 9:
[18:26] He's like, why is the dog moving? Kaya, please just fucking go back. You stop.

Speaker 3:
[18:32] Did you see? He was like, get in your spot. Did you see him reach for the button?

Speaker 1:
[18:36] Is this guy a monster?

Speaker 3:
[18:37] Well, no, he just advocates for the murder of people. But not the dog. He was like, I was on board when he said, America deserved 9-11. That's okay. I was on board when he had a hoot-hee on his show.

Speaker 1:
[18:47] Mute the thing, but put it back. I've never seen the, I hate to say, I've never seen the live stream. He's got his name in neon, a dog on what appears to be like a miniature treadmill, but it doesn't move.

Speaker 3:
[19:00] It has to stay in place or boom.

Speaker 1:
[19:03] And then it gets bolted.

Speaker 3:
[19:03] Did you see how he was like, it's moving around? He's like, get in your spot. He's saying, get in your spot. He's like, I want you to get in your spot. And then he hits the button, run it again, with sound. I think people should see what this guy is really about.

Speaker 9:
[19:15] Of all of America's much more consequential violence, okay, it's the same reason as to why America, Kaya, please just go. He's done nothing.

Speaker 7:
[19:27] But when the dog went.

Speaker 3:
[19:27] Did you see him reach for the button and hit it?

Speaker 7:
[19:29] The dog wasn't doing anything.

Speaker 3:
[19:31] It wasn't sitting in the spot.

Speaker 1:
[19:32] It was like with soft footing off the treadmill thing.

Speaker 3:
[19:35] It's like, I want to see you develop sores from having to lay in the same spot, and if you move, I will.

Speaker 2:
[19:41] When it's too mean for Ashbrook, it's pretty mean to animals.

Speaker 7:
[19:43] It's too much.

Speaker 1:
[19:44] I don't know if, is it too mean for you?

Speaker 7:
[19:47] It's too much.

Speaker 1:
[19:48] Too much?

Speaker 7:
[19:48] You know what, if you have a dog, you're in charge of the dog. People are more important than animals. But I mean, what this guy just did, it's like, come on.

Speaker 3:
[19:57] He was racing it though, maybe.

Speaker 7:
[19:59] Well, racing a dog, dogs like to run. His dog probably just wanted to move around. He didn't want to sit in that studio and listen to him deliver a stemwinder about how everybody should live in communism. He's like, I've watched you look at yourself on this computer screen for long enough, asshole.

Speaker 1:
[20:17] I wanna move to a different room. That dog has the worst life in the world. It has to sit there and listen to communism all day. And then if it moves, it gets shocked.

Speaker 7:
[20:27] Not a single animal for it to chase in New York. It walks outside and all it sees is poop on the street.

Speaker 3:
[20:32] He lives in LA. He's got a mansion in LA.

Speaker 7:
[20:33] He lives in LA? Yeah. Even worse.

Speaker 3:
[20:35] So it sees poop on the street constantly there too. But that's a Hasan Piker.

Speaker 1:
[20:39] If you live a bad life, ladies and gentlemen, you're gonna be reincarnated as Hasan Piker's dog.

Speaker 3:
[20:44] It's unbelievable how bad that is.

Speaker 1:
[20:45] That is, you imagine.

Speaker 3:
[20:47] Horrific. But I think that's what led to today's Great C2A.

Speaker 1:
[20:51] So you've come up with today's. When you like and subscribe to the Ruthless Friday program, and we hope you do. And thanks for everybody who's been doing that lately. Keep on doing it and tell your friends to do it because it's the only way anybody sees anything with the algorithmic changes that everybody has on a day-to-day basis. We ask you a question, you respond, we read all of them. We get back to the next episode. Smugglesworth has come up with his own question for the day.

Speaker 3:
[21:14] Should Hasan Piker be deported? And I don't know if I got into this, but he had had a previous stream where, I did mention it, where he had an actual Huthi on, which is providing a platform to a group designated as a terror group by the State Department.

Speaker 1:
[21:29] And we're currently fighting them, by the way.

Speaker 3:
[21:32] Secretary Rubio has not only said, but he's actually acted on deporting people who are helping out terrorists from America. And in my opinion, Hasan Piker seems like a great candidate for that. Secretary Rubio, if you're listening, feel free to put him on a plane. We can keep the dog, the dog will be thrilled. He's like, throw his ass on the plane and get him out. I know, the dog's like, I'm good here.

Speaker 1:
[21:53] I'm good here, just take this collar off my neck. Good God. Okay. All right. Well, when we come back, it's a bunch of lunacy from Democrats. Kamala, one of our favorites, when we don't have a Joe Biden thing around, she always provides and she's doing it again. All that, next.

Speaker 12:
[22:14] American energy is growing. With a renewed focus on American oil and natural gas, we're rebuilding our industrial strength and driving investment. Energy demand is rising. The United States has the resources to meet it. Here's the challenge. If we can't build the infrastructure to move that energy, pipelines, transmission lines and power plants, Americans won't feel the benefits. And while projects stall, China moves faster. Not because America lacks energy, but because Washington's permitting system is outdated and broken. Energy affordability depends on getting energy where it's needed, when it's needed. Yet critical projects remain stuck for years in delays and endless litigation. We have the energy. We have the workforce. Now it's time to build. Let's secure American energy leadership for generations to come. When America builds, America wins. Pass permitting reform now. Learn more at permittingreformnow.org.

Speaker 1:
[23:16] Okay, so Kamala Harris, you know, one of the things that she does very well, Democrats in general are just this way, in that they just invent an accent or an affectation for whatever crowd they're in front of. And it's the most unauthentic, inauthentic thing that you could ever come up with.

Speaker 2:
[23:35] Shameless pandering.

Speaker 1:
[23:35] Shameless. Like Hillary was super famous for it. Kamala does her own version. Well, she's back again. She's got a new one in clip five.

Speaker 13:
[23:43] I think it's okay for us to be a bit transactional, too. And to say, I'm going to get mine also. And so don't count on me to be a voter and be the backbone of the Democratic Party, because it is my value system and my ethics and my sense of civic duty and responsibility, so that you look at me and say, oh, they're going to vote.

Speaker 3:
[24:14] Can I be honest? I think Hillary's accent was better. Hillary's accent was more authentic than that shit.

Speaker 7:
[24:21] What was she talking about?

Speaker 2:
[24:22] The context of that is she's talking about female black voters.

Speaker 1:
[24:26] Yeah, black women make up, they're the only demographic in America that is a 91 plus support for a single political party. And as such, Democrats have said forever that they are the backbone of the Democratic Party. Like black women, if you ever had any sort of drawdown in any significant way, they wouldn't be able to compete anywhere else. And that particularly became the case when Donald Trump began making massive inroads with black men, which doubled the support for the Republican Party that it did four years and eight years prior to him running. And so this is like a concentrated electorate where now what you do in an off year when you're not running for president, when you are running for president, it's like everybody shut the fuck up and vote how you're supposed to. You saw Barack Obama do that.

Speaker 3:
[25:19] He literally, he went in the room and was like, so some of your brothers aren't going to vote for Kamala?

Speaker 1:
[25:26] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[25:26] And they're like, hell no. We're only voting for Trump. What the fuck are you doing here? Why is Eric Holder trying to get money from me?

Speaker 1:
[25:31] But it's always, the Democrat posture towards black women in a general election of a presidential election year is everyone shut up and do what you're told.

Speaker 3:
[25:42] Bingo.

Speaker 1:
[25:43] But in the off year, particularly when you lose, there are huge swaths of the Democratic Party and black women in particular who are like, what have you done for us? Like why is it that I'm just pledging allegiance to this thing over and over again? So she finds that wedge and now she's trying to say, cause she's carving out her own lane for a 28 run.

Speaker 7:
[26:06] That makes more sense. She's trying to lock them down for 2020.

Speaker 3:
[26:09] And people are always shocked when we bring this up. The fact of the matter is, you see Newsome out there every day, he's trying to get as much attention, trying to start fights with Trump, trying to get any attention whatsoever. But Kamala consistently is leading because she knows.

Speaker 1:
[26:24] Yeah, she gets it, dude.

Speaker 3:
[26:25] She's got to go after that one crowd.

Speaker 2:
[26:27] She's looking around, she's like, Democratic Party, I've seen what you've done for the Hamas caucus and I want that for black women.

Speaker 1:
[26:34] Totally. Dude, we laugh, but it's not wrong in terms of noisemaking capability and black women have not made the noise within the Democratic Party that justifies the kind of support that, because they've given none. They've literally provided zero. There is nothing that you could actually hang your hat on and say like, the Democratic Party has done this that black women are concerned about. Nothing, literally nothing. It's just like the other people are racist and the other people don't like you. That's their policy agenda, essentially. And so, yes, I mean, that's it. It's like you watch what Homas has done within the Democratic Party and they're like making all this noise. And all of a sudden, Kamala has to become a Hezbollah leader in order to get any attention for her candidacy. And they're like, well, maybe if we just make a lot of noise. Yeah. Dude, it's funny.

Speaker 7:
[27:31] It is, and it makes sense.

Speaker 1:
[27:32] It does. Well, and it goes back to Mr. Hasan Piker thing that we did a little week ago when he was like, I want you to treat me like a triple Trump voter because a Democratic voter, like the Democrat Party seems interested in turning the Trump voter more than it is me. So I'm going to be I'm going to be hell on wheels until you satisfy me. I mean, I think this is where they're at. Sonny Hauston. I'm convinced, guys, that she's the dumbest. And that's taken me a lot. She, you know how high a bar that is?

Speaker 3:
[28:04] That is, and like this clip, man, I think this convinced me.

Speaker 1:
[28:08] It's so good. Clip six.

Speaker 14:
[28:10] You know, I just read that this war is estimated to have already cost us $50 billion, $50 billion, which is more money than this country has spent since World War II. What?

Speaker 9:
[28:25] It's just so dumb.

Speaker 3:
[28:27] It's a source crack.

Speaker 1:
[28:33] She's like, I just read. Where did you read that? On the back of a Froot Loops box?

Speaker 3:
[28:39] Like, I mean, since World War II? It's just stunning.

Speaker 1:
[28:43] We just got done with a 20 year war that caused, I don't know, trillions, 10 trillion.

Speaker 3:
[28:49] And forget that. I think like Nick Shirley uncovered that much being spent by like one hospice in California.

Speaker 11:
[28:56] No, for real, for real.

Speaker 1:
[28:57] I think we were up in the combination of two states, Minnesota and California. I think we hit 50 billion.

Speaker 3:
[29:02] Like it's insane.

Speaker 1:
[29:03] Oh my gosh, this lady. I mean, just that's network television.

Speaker 3:
[29:08] That's ABC News.

Speaker 1:
[29:09] ABC, network television. You can say that with this. I just read it. So that's how you know it's right. I read it.

Speaker 2:
[29:15] It's national television every day.

Speaker 1:
[29:17] Start checking the sources on that. Clip seven is where Keith Ellison, this is the attorney general of Minnesota. This is the guy who basically turned a blind eye or worse or worse.

Speaker 2:
[29:28] We'll find out.

Speaker 1:
[29:29] When it comes to the fraud in Minnesota, he's one of the worst of the worst because there's not an empathetic bone in his body. There's nothing that cares about anybody other than himself and protecting his political power. You see that in Technicolor in clip seven.

Speaker 15:
[29:44] And thank God I made it to that street. There were many of our community members just leaving work from the state hospital, which was right up there.

Speaker 1:
[29:54] This woman's crying.

Speaker 15:
[29:54] They were able to be there.

Speaker 1:
[29:56] Is he tweeting?

Speaker 15:
[29:56] And see what was happening. He's checking.

Speaker 1:
[30:00] Now this lady's like, please put your phone down.

Speaker 15:
[30:02] The ICE agents have been operating without impunity.

Speaker 3:
[30:05] This lady is crying. Can you act like you're listening to her?

Speaker 15:
[30:07] They are doing.

Speaker 3:
[30:09] He's like, oh, is it obvious I don't give a shit and I'm on my phone? He puts his phone down.

Speaker 15:
[30:15] But now he's looking around, adjusting the collar. Maneuvered around me and slammed out of the break.

Speaker 3:
[30:20] Is she still talking? Back with the phone, dude.

Speaker 7:
[30:21] Wow.

Speaker 1:
[30:23] Back with the phone.

Speaker 3:
[30:24] He's like, is she still crying?

Speaker 7:
[30:25] What an asshole.

Speaker 3:
[30:26] Back on the phone. It's incredible, dude. It's incredible.

Speaker 1:
[30:33] Why are you in public life? You know what I mean?

Speaker 3:
[30:36] It's because of the money.

Speaker 7:
[30:38] I'm beginning to think.

Speaker 3:
[30:39] We have seen how a lot of these Somali scammers were in touch with him. We have audio of him being like, yeah, I can help you out. They're getting donations. He's in public life because it's a for-profit business for him.

Speaker 1:
[30:50] He's like, I love the woman's crying.

Speaker 3:
[30:52] He's like, get to the part where you cut me a check, lady.

Speaker 1:
[30:58] That's great. That's Ellison for ag.com. Unbelievable. All right. So, Tal Rico. He's our guy. Smug's got a particular heart on for this cat.

Speaker 3:
[31:11] Well, I feel like he's in a closet of lies.

Speaker 1:
[31:16] He's the Texas Democratic Senate candidate. We've covered him a lot, but if you're relatively new or miss those programs, we've had a lot to say about him, but he's now the general election candidate in Texas. And he had this comment not long ago where he talked about how God is non-binary.

Speaker 3:
[31:35] He actually said this.

Speaker 1:
[31:36] And it went relatively uncovered, except for here on the Ruthless Variety Program, until now it's starting to pop up a little bit. You saw him asked about this, and he just doubles down clipping.

Speaker 6:
[31:47] National Republican Senate Committee is already highlighting comments that you've made as a state representative. For example, they're highlighting this.

Speaker 16:
[31:59] God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary.

Speaker 6:
[32:10] What is your response to them using that and explain what you were talking about?

Speaker 16:
[32:17] Well, I understand that that comment is a little provocative. I said it on the House floor when the extremists in the Republican legislature were picking on school kids who were different. But I don't think it's controversial theologically. Most Christians would acknowledge that God is beyond gender. In fact, the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians said that in Christ, there is neither male nor female. And so if someone's got a problem with that statement, they shouldn't take it up with me. They should take it up with the Apostle Paul.

Speaker 3:
[32:50] So first off, I think it finally registered on him. I should probably not say crazy blasphemous and say no stuff. God is non-binary. But first off, kudos for Jake Tapper to ask him that. But this is going to be such a problem for him. And when he tries to cover it up and he's like, so the thing is that these Republicans in Texas, they're bullying kids. No, they were saying that you cannot do gender surgery on children. That's not bullying children, that's protecting children.

Speaker 7:
[33:22] Do you think that he is going to lead a movement to go back through the entire Bible and any reference of God the Father, he's going to erase father and right being of father and mother and by person? You're like, is he going to go back through every instance?

Speaker 1:
[33:44] The problem I have with it is like, yes, all of that. But also the idea that you've taken something that is a sacrosanct to so many people about just their religion, the core of their God, and turned it into a current LGBTQ plus LRC XYZ vernacular non-binary, which that didn't exist five years ago. Non-binary, like that didn't, if it did, it wasn't public and in mainstream. But now you've turned it into non-binary. Non-binary does not mean that you're all being, that you are God. That's not what that means. They mean it is somebody who doesn't have a sex that is assigned to them at birth. That is not God.

Speaker 2:
[34:42] Well, and using God as a justification for mutilating children, I think it's the really offensive part of this. It's not some esoteric argument about the nature of God. You know, I mean, it's just disgusting to use God as your justification for this sort of horrific behavior you want on children.

Speaker 3:
[35:00] I totally agree. Love the moral clarity from Duncan. He's always great at it.

Speaker 1:
[35:04] I'm just stuck on stuff like that. Like, I can't-

Speaker 2:
[35:06] It's just, dude, it's sick because it's something we would never think to even do, but that's how sick these people are.

Speaker 1:
[35:12] Oh, God. I mean, what? It's supposed to be a fun time Friday. I'm going to the deeps with this one. Yikes. Well, we're not done yet. Xavier Becerra. Remember, this guy was like an Obama administration guy. Oh, yeah. At one point. Running for governor. He's about to get his doors blown off by the potato thrower. And then Steyer, the guy who's going to throw $200 million into the fucking dirt and hope that he's the only one that doesn't have some kind of a sex scandal, because nobody would fuck him.

Speaker 7:
[35:41] By the way, somebody asked Tom Steyer last week, you know, thinking back on Gavin Newsom, what's your take on him as governor? Good things, bad things? He was like, I wouldn't really pay in much attention. Oh, come on. Amazing. He's running for governor. He's a two-term governor.

Speaker 1:
[35:57] He's like, you guys run for president?

Speaker 2:
[36:00] He's like, showed up to the Super Bowl and you're like, who are we playing?

Speaker 1:
[36:03] Yeah. Oh, is this American football? Oh, it's interesting. Anyway, he's got a clip, clip nine.

Speaker 17:
[36:09] Should the CHP be giving English proficiency tests to truck drivers? And if not, would US. Governor push back against the Trump administration on this policy? You have 60 seconds.

Speaker 11:
[36:19] I would definitely push back on the Trump administration on, again, a reckless policy.

Speaker 17:
[36:23] What?

Speaker 11:
[36:24] I would make sure that that officer understands that he cannot discriminate against any driver without having a basis to do so. I understood a little bit of what that individual was trying to say. I couldn't see the signs, but it certainly sounded like he was trying to describe what that particular sign was trying to represent. And so we have to be very careful that we're not profiling consumers in California, drivers in California.

Speaker 1:
[36:47] I just want to make sure that everybody got that. So the question is about language proficiency tests for people who are driving 20,000-pound trucks down the road that you too and your children travel on. And his take is that somebody who is just sort of sounding out what it is that the signs mean is fine. He knows what they're getting at when they're trying to describe, but that the proficiency tests, meaning that you actually know what the sign says, are racist.

Speaker 2:
[37:24] Oh, and what happens when there's a temporary sign because there's an accident ahead and it says, slow down, accident ahead, and they can't read that fucking sign. And they're 20 tons barreling down a highway and kill people. Because that's what we've seen in places like New York and California. These CDLs are given to foreigners who have no business having a license for a 20-ton truck.

Speaker 1:
[37:45] Totally.

Speaker 3:
[37:46] And we've seen Americans killed as a result of illegals and people who can't read these signs driving like maniacs, getting Americans killed. And then they do the typical damn thing of where they're like, anything they oppose is dangerous, is unsafe. So he's like, it would be reckless to make truck drivers be able to read signs. It's reckless to allow people to drive 20, 30 ton trucks and kill Americans like they have. And California is just in such a horrible state. It's unbelievable to be like, no, I don't want people who are driving semis to be able to read.

Speaker 1:
[38:20] Between Becerra, Sonny Hastin, Hasan Piker, Kamala, boy, it's enough to make you want to drink. But if you do, if you do, you need Z-Biotics, which is what the fellas rely on. I gotta tell you about this game-changing new pre-alcohol drink called Z-Biotics. The fellas rely on it because it works, right?

Speaker 3:
[38:41] That's the thing is I always love when we're on the road. I keep a bunch of these with me and I hand them out to folks and I say, if you're gonna have some drinks tonight, try this, try it right before you start drinking. Because the next day when you feel kind of awful after a big night out, it's not because you're dehydrated, going home, drinking a bunch of Gatorade, chugging a bunch of water. That doesn't work. What happens is when you drink alcohol, your stomach breaks it down into this toxic byproduct. But if you have Z-Biotics first, it knocks it out. You don't have to deal with it.

Speaker 2:
[39:11] There's nothing that ruins a vacation or a work trip like that bad feeling after a big night out, where you've got a lot of other stuff you got to do and you don't feel good and Z-Biotics fixes that.

Speaker 7:
[39:22] That's why we always say there's no tomorrow without Z-Biotics today. That's right.

Speaker 1:
[39:26] Exactly right, smash. So if you go to zbiotics.com/ruthless, you can learn more and get 15% off your first order. When you use Ruthless at the checkout, Z-Biotics is back with 100% money back guarantee. So if you're unsatisfied for any reason at all, the refund your money, no questions asked. You gotta head to zbiotics.com/ruthless and use the code Ruthless at the checkout for 15% off. All right, I was shocked and appalled by the variety we're about to get into. And I feel like smuggles who likes to play puritanical here on this program. He does, I mean, anything that comes up that's a little, a little blue. He acts shocked and appalled that it's come up. Well, I wander into the office today and he's got something for us. I was shocked and appalled that it is in fact the worst blue I've seen in a long time. It's about a legendary matador. And this is from the New York Post. Before we put the graphic up, let me just give you a little overview. This is from the New York Post. A legendary Spanish matador can't eat, sleep, and suffered immense pain from a gruesome rectal goring in this injury.

Speaker 3:
[40:47] You know how awful.

Speaker 1:
[40:49] All right, so toss the pick up, graphic one.

Speaker 11:
[40:52] Okay, so there it is.

Speaker 7:
[40:53] I mean, that is the worst nightmare. Worst possible nightmare.

Speaker 2:
[40:58] I mean, second worst. The worst is the front.

Speaker 3:
[41:01] I mean, like, look at that, dude.

Speaker 7:
[41:06] Duncan just took it to 11.

Speaker 2:
[41:08] I if you can't, which would be worse?

Speaker 1:
[41:10] Well, I honestly think this does both.

Speaker 2:
[41:13] Oh, no.

Speaker 1:
[41:15] Oh, yeah. Like, I mean, you think the horn just sort of stayed in.

Speaker 3:
[41:19] Oh, they always say you don't want to catch a bull by the horns. But like, this is this is what that guy caught it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1:
[41:25] He caught it. So this is this guy was horrifically gored in a rectum.

Speaker 3:
[41:31] Damn near killed him.

Speaker 7:
[41:33] Damn near killed him. In this case, it's true.

Speaker 1:
[41:36] In a bullfighting match in Spain, he's been speaking out about it. He wants people to know. Marante de Bulpuebla, known as the king of the bullfighters, underwent hours...

Speaker 3:
[41:47] Maybe the queen now at this point.

Speaker 7:
[41:50] Oh, geez. Could be.

Speaker 1:
[41:54] Underwent hours of surgery after his rear end was completely severed. I don't know what that means, either.

Speaker 3:
[42:02] I never want to know what it means.

Speaker 1:
[42:04] Sever doesn't feel like the right word for that. What do we sep... Sever? I don't know. During Monday's ill-fated performance before a packed crowd at Seville Mastronza Arena in what he called the most painful gore-ing ever.

Speaker 7:
[42:20] He was in Seville, and I'm guessing he wished he had become a barber.

Speaker 2:
[42:28] Deep cut.

Speaker 1:
[42:29] 46-year-old had already cleared three bowls when the fourth suddenly charged him forcing him to drop his cape he used to lure the animal. And as he turned around and took off with his back exposed, El Bundo reported, the bovine drove the tip of its curved horn into Pueblo's rectum in a humiliating defeat.

Speaker 7:
[42:51] It's a defeat.

Speaker 2:
[42:53] It's a defeat.

Speaker 6:
[42:54] The New York Post.

Speaker 3:
[42:55] He took the King of the Elves.

Speaker 1:
[42:58] He caused a four-inch tear that left him clenching himself before he was carried off the pitch by four other matadors. The battered bullfighter underwent extensive surgery to repair his rectal wall and sphincter. He's barely slept, no appetite whatsoever, and he begins the long road to recover. The truth is, I'm in a lot of pain, Puebla said in the video.

Speaker 7:
[43:25] To put it mildly.

Speaker 2:
[43:27] Well, you hate to see a legend of the game go out like that in his final game.

Speaker 1:
[43:32] Particularly humiliating.

Speaker 2:
[43:33] Well, because that's the thing here, is 46 years old and still a bullfighter.

Speaker 7:
[43:38] He must be good.

Speaker 2:
[43:39] And not only that, it says, again, he had already cleared three bulls when the fourth suddenly charged.

Speaker 3:
[43:46] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[43:46] Do we need four bulls? You're 46 years old, dude.

Speaker 1:
[43:50] And he took that one up the ass.

Speaker 2:
[43:52] This might also be like, you got to know when to hang it up.

Speaker 3:
[43:55] OK. But also, like, I can understand, like not having helmets, but like you got to have some kind of equipment for this kind of.

Speaker 1:
[44:02] Oh, you want some kind of a Kevlar ass protector.

Speaker 3:
[44:04] Oh, and like a cup, too. You know what I mean? Like, like, like Duncan brought up, like, imagine how bad it would be in the front.

Speaker 1:
[44:10] Well, they might, but this is a this is a good big animal. Like they can probably work their way through these things.

Speaker 3:
[44:16] I mean, you get like a piece of steel, dude. I'm talking about like, you know what I mean?

Speaker 7:
[44:19] Like that would be a good idea.

Speaker 1:
[44:20] You got to guard your ass when you're around these things.

Speaker 7:
[44:23] Seriously, they will now.

Speaker 1:
[44:24] I mean, I got to tell you, that's the way you think about, you know, hitting a keyhole from 50 yards.

Speaker 3:
[44:31] This guy, honestly, like when you're in that situation, is there a temptation where he's like, you don't have to sew it up, just like hit me with the like ultra-fent and let me doze, bro.

Speaker 1:
[44:45] I'd want, I'd want, you know how they end the bowl with the, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2:
[44:50] The knife, knife in the brain.

Speaker 1:
[44:51] I'd take the knife to the brain, I think, if you got the colorectal, a full horn, you got the full horn in there.

Speaker 3:
[44:58] That's a tough situation, dude.

Speaker 1:
[45:00] And also like, God bless him, I hope he recovers, but when he does, you know.

Speaker 3:
[45:06] I mean, wouldn't that have to be that shit?

Speaker 1:
[45:07] There's that too, like all your friends know about that. You gotta talk about that in public. That's tough.

Speaker 3:
[45:14] It's a bad situation.

Speaker 1:
[45:15] So you took a full horn in the ass, huh?

Speaker 7:
[45:17] It's one of those things that for the first few days, probably nobody, everybody kinda like delicately dances around the topic.

Speaker 1:
[45:25] His buddies are gonna bust.

Speaker 3:
[45:26] That's the problem, is like all your buddies are dropping jokes.

Speaker 7:
[45:28] Then one of his buddies throws in the joke. That's the thing. And then somebody's like, oh, you can't do that.

Speaker 1:
[45:36] I want you guys to know that if you ever get a bull holding up your ass, I'll give you at least three weeks before I start banging on you about that.

Speaker 3:
[45:44] I'm going immediately.

Speaker 1:
[45:48] Same day. It hasn't gone well for this cat. Anyway, okay, that's our variety for today. To cap off the week, we have told you over and over again, we are going to give you all of the candidates in the races that matter. When you go to ruthlesspodcast.com/map, you can click on your state and you can see all of the candidates that matter that you're ultimately going to have to choose from. That starts in the primary. Ultimately, we'll end up in the general, but we're going to get absolutely all of them. You heard from Michelle Tafoya here last week in a great interview. Well, Adam Schwarze is another candidate. He's a Navy SEAL. We love Navy SEALs here on the program. And he came in to give us his pitch on the Minnesota Senate race, which is an open seat. Very winnable if somebody gets their shit together, but Minnesota Republicans have not proven very adept at that over the years, which is sort of what we get into. Adam. Well, we promised you some time ago that we were going to provide for you all of the candidates in all of the races that matter. So you yourself can hear from a Ruthless side who you would like to vote for ultimately. These are primaries and generals. Incredibly important election, obviously. And now we have a Minnesota Senate candidate named Adam Schwarze. How are you, sir?

Speaker 18:
[47:04] Where'd Ruthless come from, by the way? We had a little kind of a bro sesh before the sesh, but I apologize. I've heard a couple of your podcasts, but I didn't get the etymology of Ruthless. By the way, as a Marine Navy Seal, I love it.

Speaker 1:
[47:17] So I appreciate it. Well, we'll have to go off here with all of it. It's a longer story. One of which is, yeah, has bored our listeners for quite some time. Oh, okay.

Speaker 18:
[47:26] Well, I can't wait.

Speaker 1:
[47:27] But listen, you've gotten yourself into a race here, in a state that matters a lot, an open seat, that it's going to make a big difference. I mean, whether or not Minnesota is ultimately competitive here in the fall, is pretty indicative as to whether or not Republicans spread the map, pick up seats they, you know, Democrats have long just thought they should own, and perhaps keep a majority. So how are we doing over here?

Speaker 18:
[47:57] Well, doing great. I mean, so Minnesota is kind of a wonky state for how we do. We have to do an endorsement, which in 64 years, with only one exception, have you gone on to win a primary without that endorsement? Truly like the most grassroots of grassroots states. Obviously, somebody who's from Minnesota originally played hockey, loves Jesus Christ, Marine, Navy Seal, loves guns. That's going very well.

Speaker 1:
[48:22] What did you, where did you play hockey?

Speaker 18:
[48:25] Bloomington Kennedy for two years. And before that, I was almost a cake eater at Whole Angels for a couple of years.

Speaker 1:
[48:30] Okay, all right.

Speaker 18:
[48:31] I saw myself back to the suburbs where I belonged.

Speaker 2:
[48:33] Yeah, but a Navy Seal and a Marine. So you just, one wasn't enough. You had to go to on this double. That's crazy.

Speaker 18:
[48:42] Oh, well, thank you. So I was always being a Navy Seal was my childhood dream. I grew up watching the History Channel when they actually filmed and showed history, which I don't think they do right now. It's probably like rap videos or something. But grew up, always wanted to be a Seal. 9-11 happened during my senior year of high school. So I watched the Twin Towers fall live from my senior year English class. Impacted me greatly. I was actually sleeping out on the Valley West shopping mall center, waiting for the Navy recruiters to open up because I was in the process of trying to listen to the Navy. Until all of a sudden one day this giant horse of a man in a band costume walked by. He's like, what are you sleeping on the ground for, son? I'm like, I want to go to the Navy. He's like, for what? I want to be a Navy Seal. I was like, have you ever thought about the Marine Corps? I have no idea what the Marines were. I literally had no idea. I thought this guy was in the band. Because he had this costume on. Turns out he's a dressed blues. But the Marine Corps was one of the best things that ever happened to me, is harnessing my Midwest values and work ethic into high performance teams and serving our country. And so true to his word, the Marines are first to fight in a conventional sense, at least three weeks later on my 18th birthday, I'm listed in the Marine Corps. Did all five phases of Operation Iraqi Freedom as an enlisted Marine. Did a couple of stints doing foreign policy at embassies around the world, and then got accepted into a Meritorious Commission program to become a Marine Corps officer. And then went back to the University of Minnesota, where I got my undergrad and then I transitioned, not my sex, but my service, over to the Navy and started my time in the SEAL teams. I did transition, but from Marines to Navy, and it was awesome.

Speaker 1:
[50:26] In a traditional sense.

Speaker 18:
[50:27] In a traditional sense, yes. Yeah, exactly. But really blessed to serve for 21 years in total, nine deployments, 75 countries. I think I have more time. 75 countries? Yeah, we're 75. I think we're 77 or 78. I think I have more time forward, down range, than anybody serving in Congress or Center right now. Wow. That's incredible. And I loved it. And people always ask, all right, running around the state for this race, like, why? Haven't you done enough? You served enough. And I say, well, no. And the DC establishment, they say, well, tell them it's your calling. And that's just a lie, to be honest. I'm truly blessed to hopefully get back into my bio a little bit more, but I was actually started off being adopted. I'm only on this planet because my mom sacrificed so I could have life. And then I was raised by two loving, amazing parents in the East side of Bloomington, Minnesota. And then I had just phenomenal leaders in the Marine Corps and the Navy SEALs, which had prepared me for this mission. So truly, like, what's my why? Is I know I can win the seat and it's my duty after everything our country are, I've been to 77 countries, I've seen the rest of the world. America is f'n beautiful. It's an amazing country, but it's not guaranteed if we don't have leaders who are willing to stand up and fight for it.

Speaker 1:
[51:43] Yeah, totally. Minnesota is a state that has been doubled Republicans for quite some time. It was actually on the last Senate race.

Speaker 18:
[51:50] Which one?

Speaker 1:
[51:51] 2002. Okay. That one in Minnesota. And it's been one of those states that should look a lot more like Wisconsin and Iowa from a result standpoint.

Speaker 18:
[52:02] Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1:
[52:03] From who the people are and the transition of the electorate over the years. But it just hasn't been. Democrats have always had a stronghold on that. As you look at the state now and you're traveling around, what gives you optimism about this going red for the first time in what, 24 years?

Speaker 18:
[52:23] Yeah, well, you bring up a great point. But first off, people think that Minnesota is a blue state, it's a lost cause. You know this because you're from there as well. It's not. We have four Democrat congressmen, four Republican congressmen. We have 101 Democrat legislators in the state. We have 100 Republican. I need to move 33,000 votes in a 3.5 million voter block. It was right on the cusp. To your point, though, why haven't we just gotten there? Well, we don't have exciting candidates that can build and harness that base, come strong out of that endorsement, building the team, and then do better in the suburbs. I mean, that's truly the so what. Yeah, you're right. But since we had a Republican, we did have a Navy SEAL win statewide, Jesse Ventura. I mean, Navy SEALs are seven for seven.

Speaker 1:
[53:08] It was not our finest moment.

Speaker 18:
[53:09] Hey, I'm not going to say I own all of those policies, but there is something to be said that we have in federal races, seven Navy SEALs of seven have won federal general elections. We're seven for seven. Most recently, we have another Minnesota Navy SEAL, Tim Sheehy, just kicked out a three-term incumbent in John Tester, Montana, who every thought would die in the US. Senate. He was such a Houdini, and he did the same thing I'm doing. Start early, do the work, and build a high-performing team. And so I've been on the camp trail longer than anybody running for any office in Minnesota. We've got the largest grassroots team to embrace that endorsement process, not shy away from it, embrace it, because veterans, I know you got a couple of veterans on your team, which is awesome, by the way. Veterans get this more than anybody. You have to come together and fight as a team if you're going to win in these battles. So we're embracing that endorsement process, and we have the values and the work ethic to get us over the line.

Speaker 7:
[54:04] Yeah, Adam, you've got an incredible background, and it sounds like you've been all over the state. I'm really curious what you're hearing most from people. Is it the fraud? Is it economy? What is it that people are telling you?

Speaker 18:
[54:15] Yeah, two things. So we've already done a lot of polling on this, but I don't need the polling, because I've been in every single county in the state already.

Speaker 1:
[54:23] Yo, BPOU.

Speaker 18:
[54:24] You know it, brother. I use wonky terms, man. But so what? You get it in here in DC, in the center of the swamp, as much as the Minnesotans do. It's the fraud. I'm an honest broker, and my word is my bond. It's going to be tough to retain the House, and we have a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and the president. Everybody who just don't understand everything that's going on, the nuances right now, it's difficult to retain all that in the midterm. In Minnesota, not only are we going to retain, we're going to expand, because Minnesotans, you can't travel in the United States, let alone the entire world right now, when Minnesotans go and travel abroad. They're like, holy crap, you're from Minnesota? You're the land of the fraud. You're the land of 10,000 lakes, bro.

Speaker 1:
[55:07] It's been a touch humiliating on the program lately, I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 18:
[55:11] But Minnesotans are a proud people, and they're really embarrassed that we are known because of all of this fraud. From a largely singular voting block in the cities, Minnesotans are a Verizon map. If you look at Minnesota on the map, Google it, please, if you're one of the Ruthless listeners, it's truly a Verizon map of red, with the Twin Cities as a blop of blue, and then Duluth with a much smaller dop of blue. That red area is pissed. They are flamed up, and we're going to show up in numbers, I think we're going to show up in presidential numbers. And then what's the other side have right now? I have an agenda, it's very common sense, it's America first, it's peace through strength, it's supporting policies that help every day, whether you're a CD3 soccer mom from Edina, or you're somebody in the inner cities leaning on President Trump's grants to expand businesses into CD5, but what's the other side repping right now? Yeah, nothing. No, they are, they're two things, socialism and anti-Trump. That's their whole agenda, and it's not going to work right now when Peggy Flanagan, who's going to, for sure, win their endorsement and likely win their general, all she can rep is her record, her actual record. And somebody who's, I'm happy to lean on my record of service. Yeah, I mean, it's laughable, but that's how far, I was talking to your team before the interview, this is going to be historic for Minnesota, because it's not going to be Schwarze for a cent. It flips the top of the ticket, and then we kind of go back and forth, down about. We're going to get a historic when I truly think that we are going to take back our entire state this cycle.

Speaker 2:
[56:36] I mean, how do you lay all of that fraud at the feet of these Democratic candidates in the state? Because, you know, Tim Walz is hiding.

Speaker 18:
[56:47] No, he's going to Spain talking about the loss of social service.

Speaker 2:
[56:51] You know, you got Keith Ellison, and I've listened to those tapes about all the pressure they were putting on these state workers who were trying to raise the flags on this. How do we put this around the neck of every Democrat who wants to run away from the fraud issue in November?

Speaker 18:
[57:08] I trust in the American people. I trust in Minnesotans. They're very smart people. Our schools aren't very great right now, unfortunately, because of the Democrat trifecta, but they can't run away from the record. That $9 to $19 billion of largely federal tax dollars, by the way, was under their watch. They had a trifecta. They can't run away from it when they've had control for the last decade. So they have a voting record. They have their policies. They can't run away from them. But it's not enough for... This is where Republicans screwed up. We say, well, I'm for better economy and I'm not them. Well, no, that's not going to work either. I have to be for a bunch of things that helps every day American families across our state. But I do, I have that agenda and they can't run from their record. And as a military guy, I know you laugh, brother, it is insane to even Minnesotans that Peggy Flanagan, who was Wallace's Lieutenant Governor, was ground zero for all of this $9 to $19 billion of fraud is now looking for a promotion.

Speaker 1:
[58:03] Yeah, it's wild.

Speaker 18:
[58:04] It's crazy, it's absurd.

Speaker 1:
[58:05] Mind-blowing, but it's one of those things where you start to get skeptical from a national perspective when you see, you know, blue cities and blue states have just such obvious mismanagement to the point where, I mean, like it's $8 billion or maybe even more in Minnesota, but you've seen localities deal with this across the country and they're like, yeah, double down on that. But there is enough common sense in Minnesota that I think you get to a point where you can turn the table on it. The question is whether you can overcome this machine that the Democrats have put in place over a period of years where they have. I mean, what's the name of the senator right now? What's the...

Speaker 7:
[58:44] Klobuchar? No, Tina Smith.

Speaker 1:
[58:46] Tina Smith. If you look at Tina, she's like a thumb. I mean, this is one of the least impressive individuals I've ever laid eyes on. And I mean that sincerely. If that person was trying to sell you a phone at the Verizon store, you'd be like, can I get a different help? But she's a United States senator representing the entire state of Minnesota. And the mere fact that she's in the conversation as someone who's retiring shows you what you're up against. Nobody would ever choose that.

Speaker 18:
[59:15] But they have a D behind her name. Well, yeah, she got in when Al Franken got me too out of the Senate. But she's not running. I mean, that's a good indicator, right? As she knew that because of all of her insider trading, she's not on the belt. I mean, we do have a vacancy, which is a historic opportunity for a pick up. I'm not running against the Senate machine. And even if, let's pretend I was, so 93% of the incumbents always win. Navy SEALs again are seven for seven, boys. We've sculpted a winning road map here. We have the values of Americans, and we have the next generation, the turning point people that are coming out. Half of my delegates are the youngest delegates in every single county because they're future lions, and lions want to be led.

Speaker 2:
[59:56] So you talked earlier about, when you got into the Marine Corps, you had great leaders helping mold you in your career. And I'm wondering, what did you take away from that service that you want to apply here, either from a character perspective, a leadership perspective, or a policy perspective?

Speaker 18:
[60:17] That's a great question. I guess the first thing that came to mind is just because I'm going for this endorsement process, and we've got this really high-performing team. It took a long time to get it online, because my biggest shortfall as a candidate is obviously name ID, right? Everything I did, I wasn't walking the sidelines on news for 61 years. I was in the trenches. But how do I adapt to what I did learn in those trenches in two ways that can expand to civilians who haven't served? And what's really taken shape is building this team that's based off of our values. A values-based team, and I'm so proud of that, that people in Minnesota, we recognize across the state that this is, every time, every two years as a candidate, this is the most important election of your lifetime. People are like, okay, nerd, whatever. But no, truly, this is the most important election of our lifetimes in Minnesota. And my message has been nobody rises to the occasion. As I grew up playing hockey in La Crosse, in the Marines, and then as a Navy SEALs, and a Navy SEAL mission commander, there's this fallacy that you rise to the occasion when it's these epic stakes. And you look to this last historic men's goal and women's goal team, all the way back to 1980, Miracle on Ice, they didn't happen because of truly a miracle. That happened because of preparation met opportunity. And that's what this race is for me. I've been preparing for this for years now, building the team, doing the grassroots work. And you don't rise to the occasion, you fall back to your training, you fall back to your principles. And that's why it's so great to see all of these young males and young females at these collegiate universities come out to join a Republican candidate. Because they're not scared to, that I talk about my faith, they're not scared to support Second Amendment rights and want a strong America. They're sick of being told that they're racist, they're xenophobic, they're homophobic. They just want to be left alone and they want their chance for the future of American opportunity. And so I thought that was gonna be, I thought I was gonna have to run. Like, you know, one point whatever million dollars now. And I've got a ton of donors who, I'm not transactional, I'm friends with a lot of them. A lot of these people have never voted or donated Republican before. It's just, they're so sick of the valueless other side of the party that they want something different. And we don't, certainly we don't agree on all of the messaging that's coming out of the party, necessarily all the policies. But at the end of the day, this is what it's gonna be. And this is my goal for the inner city republic, inner city democrat, the CD3 soccer moms, why is that a miniatonic where you're from, cake eater? At the end of the day, these soccer moms, which have a large part haven't really gotten on board with the Republican Party messaging yet, they're gonna vote for Adam Schwarze. Because while they maybe don't like Republican Party politics, at the end of the day, I'm a common sense person who they trust their family with versus Peggy Flanagan, who they could come home and get she'd transition their children without them knowing. I mean, that's how insane the other side is.

Speaker 1:
[64:19] Yeah, no, you're right. I mean, that's not even being hyperbolic about it.

Speaker 18:
[64:22] No, that's the truth is like, I'm somebody that like is common sense that they would trust their families with more than the other side, which has stolen from them, has raised their cost of everything in Minnesota, from housing costs to education to taxes. I mean, any diner, I have people on Democrats on my team, any diner like it was 17% and then 10% this year. It's like they can't take anymore.

Speaker 1:
[64:43] Who would you have a beer with and who would you let coach your kids' team?

Speaker 18:
[64:48] Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1:
[64:49] If you can figure out the combination of those two things in Minnesota, you're in a pretty good place.

Speaker 18:
[64:52] That's right. Yeah, and then who would you trust your family with if you couldn't be around? If you're a mom or a dad? I'm gonna be that guy.

Speaker 1:
[64:59] Yeah, listen, it's a good message. I got three questions for you. First one, group Minnesota, we always ask everybody that comes on the program, if you could plan your last meal on Earth, what would it be?

Speaker 18:
[65:13] It's so unoriginal, but I'm a huge steak guy, I'm sorry. Yeah, I mean, that's where we are. I'm a rib eye.

Speaker 1:
[65:18] That's where I'm at.

Speaker 18:
[65:19] With a good Pittsburgh char. Medium rare inside. Oh, yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2:
[65:24] That's a tough thing to pull off, you know?

Speaker 18:
[65:25] Yes, that is. They like the good marbleization across the whole.

Speaker 2:
[65:28] If you're doing a Pittsburgh, you gotta get that thing real hot.

Speaker 18:
[65:31] Like 900 degrees, cast iron, both sides pressed.

Speaker 1:
[65:34] Yeah, the man's done his research.

Speaker 11:
[65:35] That's exactly how you do it.

Speaker 2:
[65:36] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[65:37] That's exactly how you do it. Okay. Are we doing any, are we siding it?

Speaker 18:
[65:42] Truffle smash, you know? Truffle smash, you know?

Speaker 1:
[65:46] It would be goblet of red wine.

Speaker 18:
[65:47] Yes, yeah. Like California cab.

Speaker 1:
[65:49] Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 18:
[65:50] I mean, California and Israel wines, nothing as good as those two wine spots the entire world, California.

Speaker 1:
[65:56] Interesting, okay.

Speaker 18:
[65:57] Israel, they're sneaky. They don't even export their good stuff. Seriously, sneaky, good wines in Israel. I'm gonna have to take your word on that.

Speaker 1:
[66:05] That's something worth looking into. All right, so look, our view is that anybody who rises to the level that you have and all the accomplishments that you've had, you look back on your life and you just didn't have time to do and pursue things that you were interested at, that you were really good at. And with the benefit of retrospect, if you could choose another direction in life that you think you could have, it would have been interesting and fun, you would have been good at, what would it be?

Speaker 18:
[66:33] Man, you guys are deep. I wasn't expecting that. Philosophical questions here.

Speaker 7:
[66:37] Ted Cruz said he would have played in the NBA. Yeah, so it's just like world of joys.

Speaker 1:
[66:41] So it could be, you can dream.

Speaker 18:
[66:45] So this is, I'm going to sound like really wimpy, Marine, Navy, SEAL. I used to like to draw when I was a kid.

Speaker 1:
[66:50] There you go. An artist.

Speaker 18:
[66:51] But now that I'm very much a process person nowadays, so I think that a good combination.

Speaker 9:
[66:56] The SEALs knocked that shit out of you. The Marines did, Marines did.

Speaker 18:
[67:00] Marines, artists, nerds.

Speaker 1:
[67:01] I used to be super artistic, but I want to draw.

Speaker 9:
[67:06] Shut up, pussy!

Speaker 4:
[67:07] You get in the water.

Speaker 18:
[67:09] Now that I'm a Marine, they'd be like, you mean you're autistic? You mean you're autistic? Which is also true. No, I think I would have loved to have been an architect. I'm a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright. It's kind of like Suzy, and I learned his process and the utilitarian vibes of some of his stuff. So I will kick my coverage in the lady department as well. I build great teams, and on the home front, I'm engaged now, and for my birthday, she took me to some Frank Lloyd Wright buildings that I didn't even know about were on the map, and it was really cool.

Speaker 1:
[67:40] Is she a Minnesota gal?

Speaker 18:
[67:41] Yeah, she is. She's in war robes, so this is the hockey capital.

Speaker 1:
[67:43] Holy smokes, you picked her right out of the hockey USA. That's crazy.

Speaker 7:
[67:48] Is that Dave Bihar?

Speaker 1:
[67:49] No, well, no, he was Duluth East. But Oshi.

Speaker 18:
[67:53] Yeah, she was Spanish partners with Oshi.

Speaker 7:
[67:55] Oh, no.

Speaker 18:
[67:59] Her actually, her cousin's like a two-time Olympian, Gigi Marvin. Okay, awesome.

Speaker 1:
[68:04] Yeah, they produce athletes.

Speaker 18:
[68:05] Yeah, they're specimens.

Speaker 1:
[68:06] No question about it.

Speaker 18:
[68:07] Good breeding style.

Speaker 1:
[68:08] You've got to be pretty tough to be from that neck of the woods, to be honest with you.

Speaker 18:
[68:10] Yes, I mean, Minnesotans actually in seal training were, I think it's like an 80, 85% attrition rate. I know a couple who didn't make it through the entire process. I don't know one Minnesotan who quit.

Speaker 1:
[68:22] Yeah, I thought they had to be dragged out of there.

Speaker 2:
[68:24] Is it the tolerance for hypothermia?

Speaker 18:
[68:25] Yeah, it seems like it. Yeah, it's like you've got to be able to work when you're cold, wet, tired. And it's like, think of a Minnesotan. You don't get hugs.

Speaker 8:
[68:33] There's no hugs in Minnesotan.

Speaker 18:
[68:35] Like, oh, you're tired? Go fucking shovel the driveway. Like, nobody gives a shit.

Speaker 2:
[68:39] Is the no hugs like a Scandinavian thing?

Speaker 18:
[68:42] German, Scandinavian, German. I mean, as a German kid, if you get smiled, you get slapped.

Speaker 1:
[68:47] Yeah, not a lot of emotion.

Speaker 2:
[68:49] No.

Speaker 18:
[68:50] I respect it. But we were made to go to war.

Speaker 2:
[68:52] Like, you know.

Speaker 18:
[68:54] You're like, I get to fire back?

Speaker 1:
[68:56] This is awesome.

Speaker 18:
[68:57] I have to sit here and just take it?

Speaker 1:
[68:58] All right, last question. So our view is almost every successful person on earth is motivated by one of two things, thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. And it's not that anybody likes to lose or that anybody doesn't like to win. It's what motivates you to take the next step in your life or your career or whatever. And the prototypical agony of defeat person is Michael Jordan. He invented slights upon himself in order to, I mean, just created them out of thin air. We've always said to keep the sports analogy going, that like Phil Mickelson is a perfect thrill of victory guy, where you could easily lay up part of the whole.

Speaker 18:
[69:34] I already have a great answer for this. Okay, let's go. This is awesome.

Speaker 1:
[69:37] What do you got?

Speaker 18:
[69:39] So as a Marine, fighting ISIS, the Taliban, all these threats for my whole career, I was more scared of my non-commissioned officers behind me than I was of the actual enemy. Take that even further to the SEAL regimes and all those high-performing teams. So my last seven years, I was a no-fail mission commander. So everything I did for my last seven years was uniquely Russia, China, North Korea, Iran. Strategically very important mission sets. If you screw up a mission against one of those, it could be nuclear holocaust, World War III.

Speaker 2:
[70:12] That's why it's called no-fail.

Speaker 18:
[70:13] Yeah. So very, very high strategic importance. And so I always get family members, like I don't talk about what I did on the X, and really the Marines or the SEALs just try to be a quiet, humble professional. But this is like how crazy we are. They're like, what's your biggest fear? Like would you do the gunfire, the unknowns, the combat? No, screwing up, screwing up. Like knowing that the weight of the United States of America is on my shoulders and mine alone. And if you look at it, that's how I view this race. We have truly a historic opportunity to flip a United States Senate seat to either a constitutional conservative, or if I fuck this up, it's going to a socialist. And that, we talked about the 93% incumbents, like we don't get it back. So I have the weight of a United States Senate race, so screwing up.

Speaker 1:
[71:03] It's an agony guy, fellas, it's an agony guy.

Speaker 7:
[71:05] I like it.

Speaker 1:
[71:06] It's a good answer, it's a really good answer. Listen, if people want to help you out, where do they go?

Speaker 18:
[71:10] Schwarze for Senate, we're on all the platforms, schwarzeforsenate.com, all the good things. If you reach out, we'll get back to you.

Speaker 1:
[71:17] All right, Adam, thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 18:
[71:18] Boys, this is great. Really appreciate it. Thank you. Have me here, guys, of course. Make sure all your veterans are on your team, too. It's cool.

Speaker 1:
[71:23] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, these guys.

Speaker 18:
[71:25] Even if you play the band in the Marine, you're still a Marine.

Speaker 7:
[71:30] Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Before Adam goes, I know you brought something with you.

Speaker 18:
[71:33] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7:
[71:34] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 18:
[71:35] We got to pay the team guy gods to get through the crucible here.

Speaker 3:
[71:39] What do we got here?

Speaker 18:
[71:40] I wanted to provide something that would hopefully have some value in your life. So hopefully one of these things.

Speaker 17:
[71:45] So those hats.

Speaker 18:
[71:47] So those are like the Special Operations Command IR flags. Dude, I love them. If you ever get taken hostage, rip that flag off, pocket that, put in your butt, whatever you got to do with the guys with green eyes come to save you, pull that out because under IR, that flag will shine like the sun. Really? Yeah. So yeah, if you shine an IR light on that, that flag will show. So if there's ever a Hilo overhead or a plane, if you ever get compromised, grab that flag.

Speaker 14:
[72:11] Dude, I love this.

Speaker 18:
[72:12] And then the other thing, because I know you're a Minnesota guy, there's at least one Minnesota guy here. For the other guys, beat it, nerds. If you're ever going ice fishing, your car goes into a lake. You got a seatbelt cutter.

Speaker 1:
[72:23] This is the cutter?

Speaker 18:
[72:24] That's the cutter and a windshield pop. So you guys could be heroes, too, if you're on the freeway and somebody's burning in their car, you can get them out of their seatbelt and pop their windshield, no problem with the smash and the belt cutter.

Speaker 2:
[72:34] Oh yeah, this is the window.

Speaker 18:
[72:36] Yeah, the window.

Speaker 1:
[72:36] To be honest with you, this is essential stuff.

Speaker 18:
[72:39] Yeah, so we actually have one on our shifter in all of our cars, so it's right there. So if you guys are heroes, now I want to shout out, like, hey, I got it from this US Senator, the same old lady.

Speaker 1:
[72:51] Adam helped me be a hero today.

Speaker 18:
[72:53] There you go, boys.

Speaker 7:
[72:53] C-H-W-A-R-Z-E.

Speaker 1:
[72:58] Perfect.

Speaker 18:
[72:58] We can be heroes. God bless, boys. Thank you so much.

Speaker 1:
[73:01] Good luck out there.

Speaker 7:
[73:04] I mean, this guy has a very interesting background. I loved hearing everything he was saying, and I just hope to God that voters in Minnesota will look at what's happened with the fraud and be like, we're going to vote for the other guy this time. Yeah. You know, we're going to choose somebody on the other side and maybe right the ship.

Speaker 1:
[73:23] I've also, you know, one of the things that this process has done for me is encourage me when you see the kind of people who are stepping up to do it. Like not all people are going to win. Like we got a lot of people, you know, a third or two thirds that we've interviewed are not going to be what they're going to be.

Speaker 3:
[73:42] Because it's just nature for primary. There can only be one.

Speaker 1:
[73:44] There can only be one. And but you see the quality of the character. You know, this guy, I mean, what an incredible resume. This guy's a hero, an American hero, but he's taken it upon himself to put his hat in the ring and try to win this race because he thinks he can do it. I think that's a super healthy sign for the Republican Party. Definitely. I really do. Because I remember back in the day, 2008 was a perfect example. There was a guy named Mark Pryor who was a Democrat and represented Arkansas. Things were so bad after the 2006 election. Going into 2008 where you had either Hillary or Obama, and we were going to have John McCain or whatever, we couldn't recruit a candidate to run against a Democrat in Arkansas. Couldn't get one. Couldn't get a serious candidate. Like you fast forward now, Minnesota, they haven't won since 2002. They haven't won a single Senate race since 2002. And they've got a couple of really good options there. Smart people that want to do it. And you saw the same Louisiana, I saw the same in Texas. We're running the map. There's a lot of competition. I think that's a healthy, good sign.

Speaker 11:
[74:56] All right. It's been a hell of a week.

Speaker 1:
[74:58] I appreciate everybody tuning in to us. We had some yucks. We're going to have a lot more next week. Well, that fellas, I think we did it.

Speaker 3:
[75:05] I think so. Absolute banger of an episode. Thank you so much for our guest, Adam Schwarze. And thank you to listeners. Remember, if you have not yet, go to the YouTube and hit that subscribe because it's more fun in video. So until next time minions, keep the faith, hold the line and own the libs.
