[00:00:19] Jesse Fries:

Good afternoon, everybody.   It is September 15, and we are live with episode number 62 of the minus meanderings.   And football is just getting stupid.   It's   so many   things.   Bunch of wusses. Every single last one of them.   But, yeah, we can get into that later.  

[00:00:42] Jamon Fries:

And I'm Jamin Frias, and,   yeah, I I mean, I got nothing better than that. I I I completely agree. The football has changed so much since I last   since I last really enjoyed it. Yeah. It's insane.  

[00:00:59] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. It's it's like this last I I was watching some games over the weekend. Right?   And   it it one of the worst ones that I saw, the worst stupidest things was against Mahomes. Right? They lost. I I'm happy about that because I don't like the Chiefs. But   but they got a guy for   grazing his helmet with his hands.   Yeah. And they called it roughing the passer.   It he his head didn't even shift.  

[00:01:34] Jamon Fries:

Yeah.   Hands just raised.   Yeah. Any any   time you even basically touch a quarterback's helmet, you're gonna get hit with, roughing the passer.  

[00:01:45] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. It's stupid. It's it's It really is.   It's stupid. There's no other way to say it. It's just stupid. It  

[00:01:54] Jamon Fries:

it it's like I there there was one play there where I thought that maybe they could have called that,   and that was because   the guy took about a step and a half after Mahomes had thrown the ball before hammering into him. Right. Right. So, you know,   that kind of thing, I could see if a flag had been thrown, but it wasn't.   Instead,   they they throw it on a guy who was trying to block the ball that Mahomes was throwing,   and in the movement,   his hand went down into the helmet.  

[00:02:27] Jesse Fries:

But but it was, like, the very bottom of the helmet. It it was, like Yeah. It it hit the very bottom of the face guard. It it it it it was nothing. It wasn't even the face guard. It was, like, a back of the it was it was   yeah. It was stupid. I I I I saw that. I was, like, going,  

[00:02:43] Jamon Fries:

is this I I I saw that too. I saw that and I'm like, wait.   No.  

[00:02:49] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. I yeah. Exactly.   And then you see this new kickoff thing. Even Trump is going in on this one.   I hated the new kickoff ever since they they brought it out last year. No. This is even new. This is newer than that. They changed it from last year too.   Yeah. I know. But, I mean, the the general principle behind it. Yeah. That was what they did is what they did last year, and then they then they made adjustments to it this year. How about they just get rid of the kickoff? Because, seriously, that's what they wanna do. It's for protection of the player. Just get rid of the kickoff.   Yeah.  

You you know, it's like   it's like even college is this way because   I I was watching the case this case state game. We lost.   Uh-huh.   And   this guy,   the other team, who who I can't remember who we were playing. But the other team caught the ball, and he just got smacked, like, initially. Like, just it was awesome. Right. Right? Yeah. But there was some helmet to helmet. You could tell it wasn't intentional. He was trying to go more in with the shoulder, but it that it's like 15 yards. It's like Alright.   Yep.   These people are a bunch of wusses. Just a bunch They are. Yeah. Wusses. Foot football has become a sport  

[00:04:03] Jamon Fries:

of   well, it's become a sport   reminiscent of baseball.  

[00:04:10] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Even soccer is more violent than football is now. Yeah. It's like why do they have the pads anymore? What's the point? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.   Just take off the pads, make it rugby, you know. Yeah.   It's  

[00:04:23] Jamon Fries:

If you can't hit hard, what's the point? Don't understand. You know, that that's one of the things that I find is very hilarious. And, I mean, they're I I can see some reasoning behind it, but the sports that don't have pads   are much more   violent   than the sports that do have pads.   But the sports that do have pads well, no. No. I mean, as far as, like, the the physical sports. Well well, they're getting there. They're getting there. See, technically, rugby  

[00:04:50] Jesse Fries:

if you consider, like, the hits in between rugby and football,   football, the hits are harder. They really are. Oh, yeah. Yeah.  

[00:04:58] Jamon Fries:

But the the other but another reason why the injuries are so much worse in football   is because instead of   a human shoulder that can give,   it's a piece of plastic that has no give. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I mean, it it's something very solid hitting something that shouldn't be hit with something very solid.  

[00:05:18] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. And you have all this equipment on, so if you think you're safe and then you get knocked around and everything like that. Yeah. No. It it's   but no. It's just getting stupid. It's just getting stupid. It is. Yeah. But, you know, the thing that really tops   it all for me with the NFL?   What's that? So there's this guy on the Vikings team. Have you seen this guy? Have you seen his last name?   No. I haven't seen a Vikings game yet, so I haven't seen Okay. So there's this guy. He he you know how they go. Oh, so my name is,   Bob Wilton, Texas or something like that. Right? Okay.  

Where they say their name and then the what school they went to and everything like that? Well, there's this guy on the Vikings team. His first name is Will,   and his last name is f r I e s.   It's our name. You know? Oh, nice. Freeze.   Yeah.   No. No. He calls it fries. I swear to God. What?   Yes. Fries, dude.  

[00:06:17] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. There there are some people out there that don't know how to say it right.  

[00:06:25] Jesse Fries:

I swear. That that that just I I I had to I had to pause it  

[00:06:30] Jamon Fries:

and have my family look at it. There are there are some families out there that never learned the proper German pronunciation for the name.  

[00:06:39] Jesse Fries:

Or they just caved. It's like, fine. Yeah. You know? Just call me Fred. You you guys have said it so many freaking times. I'll just go with it from now on. I know. Wait. It's it's like, to me, I appreciate more the people   that wanna keep the pronunciation   and are willing to change the spelling of it.   Yes. Because a lot of, freezes, they add a e on the end of it.   Yes. Yes. Which, you know, it's not my favorite or anything like that. But, you know, I can understand getting tired of people mispronouncing   it.  

You know, so you add the e on there, and then you're good to go. Right? Even even then, I've even with that e on the end, I've heard so many people mispronounce those names too. But I think it gets more of the freeze than the fries, at least, I think. Probably. Yeah.   But   to say fries, I I you know,   he's a very nice guy. I'm just saying. He probably is. If only he knew how to pronounce his name right. Yeah. Yeah. He's probably a cousin of ours too that we don't know about. Yeah. You know, it's a A very distant relative at least. Yeah. Exactly.   Exactly. But yeah. Fries. I I   I I don't know, Jaymond. That's the most disappointing thing about the NFL today.  

Yeah. Yeah. It really that is disappointing. Yeah. Yeah. Because you see the name on the back, and you go, oh, freeze. There's a freeze plate. And then yeah.   Will   fries.  

[00:08:09] Jamon Fries:

Almost make almost makes me wonder if, if,   the NFL didn't tell him he had to pronounce it that way because, otherwise, people would be mispronouncing his name all the time.  

[00:08:18] Jesse Fries:

No. No. No. He he have you seen some of those names? I I   know.   And, like, a good freeze,   you're you're a bit stubborn about it.  

[00:08:30] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. Absolutely.  

[00:08:38] Jesse Fries:

Okay. What's going on today?  

[00:08:40] Jamon Fries:

Well,   you know, the one one thing that I was gonna use as my intro was but, your football thing was just so much better,   was, I'm kinda getting sick and tired of   hearing all these Democrats   saying stuff like, the Internet is leading everyone to their extremism   or,   you know, we in in a time where we need to to show   a   unity against violence,   This this stuff is going on.   Mhmm. And I'm like,   okay. But for the last,   what now, eight year, ten, nine years at least,   Y'all have been saying, you know what? They're Nazis,   they're autocrats,  

[00:09:30] Jesse Fries:

they're and all this other bad shit? Actually, it goes further than that. It starts at least with Bush. So I would say probably at least '9 to 09/2000   is really, really strong. I was gonna I I just took it back to the beginning of Trump. But No. Yeah. I I but I remember everybody calling w. Yeah. I remember people calling w,   Nazis and everything like that. Nazi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's been thrown around for at least twenty five years, like, at least this century.   It it's I mean Yeah.  

[00:10:00] Jamon Fries:

Their their soldiers have been hearing this language for the last twenty, twenty five years. Mhmm.   And yet, all the time something happens, the only thing they do is they come out and say,   we need to we need to come together as parties and to to stop this from happening. Yep. But then, you know, three weeks later, they're gonna be back out there saying the same exact fucking shit. Oh, it didn't even take three weeks. They're already back at it. Of course, it didn't.   Yeah. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.  

[00:10:31] Jesse Fries:

No. This the next day, they were already at it. The the whole, like, you didn't deserve that, but he was a Nazi. You didn't deserve it, but this. He didn't deserve it, but that. You know? It's like   Well, I know that that was the main thing. That. I I'm specifically referring to the politicians.   Right. Right. Well, Elon Omar and whatnot, she's going crazy on it. She's always batshit crazy. So who cares?   No. I understand. But she's a politician. You said politician. You know? Not maybe the Yeah. Yeah. She's one of those ones that pushes tries to push the buttons a bit too far. You know? It's Yeah.  

[00:11:12] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. It's Yeah. No. We You know, Fetterman,   who has   some semblance   of realism in his head. Maybe decorum. Yeah. Yeah.   He did an interview where he was he was saying, you know, the Democrats have forgotten why we lost the election.   Uh-huh. But then but then after that, he started saying, you know what?   You we all need to stop the language that we're using. You keep calling Trump an autocrat. He is not an autocrat. If you compare him to a true autocrat   Yep. It's nothing similar.   He is not a Nazi. You need to stop saying that. Yep.   Yep.  

So Fetterman at least is   trying,   but, I mean,   ever ever since he had the stroke, nobody listens to him anyways.  

[00:12:05] Jesse Fries:

Well, yeah. There at first, the Republicans are going he he had a stroke. Why why why is he even there? You know? But he kept voting, and he was just he just kept his mouth quiet because, well, he had just had a stroke.   And the Democrats are going, no. He's great. He's great. He's great. And now that, he's kinda shifted,   Yeah. Yeah. He's like, no. The Republicans aren't that bad. It's I I think the stroke gone more central.   No. I think the stroke made him go people. We're just all people here. We all have   hard lives. We all have this. We all have that, you know. And   so I think he's become more moderate with that. But to the Democrats, that means, oh, he had a stroke. He needs to get out. You know? It's a a  

[00:12:46] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. At at first, the Republicans were like, yeah. No. Stroke, you gotta get out for health reasons. Right. Right. Right. Democrats   struck. Now you gotta get out because, well, you're saying shit we don't believe.  

[00:12:58] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. It's   yeah. Yeah. But when it comes to the whole Charlie Kirk thing, it's just   the the left just won't admit it. You you know that this guy was a leftist. They go, oh, no. He was, was it the   or whatever it is? I don't know. The Fuentes. Yes. It's like, oh,   hey. I think that's a bit of a stretch, but they still are pushing it, I see, on social media.   Yeah.  

[00:13:30] Jamon Fries:

Even though now it's pretty much officially come out that he is   not that anymore.  

[00:13:37] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. But they're still pushing it. You know? I just saw a new story that just came out with it. You know? It's like, oh, this is this is it's like, well, the government says it's not, but this is what's and the news article was going, but the Internet says and I go in is that really your news story that the Internet says something?   It's like  

[00:13:59] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. No. The the FBI who's getting all of their information from his transgender roommate slash partner  

[00:14:07] Jesse Fries:

Right.  

[00:14:08] Jamon Fries:

They've gotta have it all wrong.   Yeah.  

[00:14:12] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. It it it it and then I also like the bit where,   did you see the Democrats go, well, his grandma says he was mega. So Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, okay.   Just because grandma doesn't know,   it doesn't mean   anything. Grandmas don't know a lot of things. You you know, it's not and it's not saying that she doesn't have a good memory or anything like that. I'm just saying, they don't know what's going on in their grandkids' lives. You know, parents barely know what's going on in their lives, but parents know more than grandparents generally. So it's No. No. I mean, you know, yes, this kid was brought up in a conservative household. Yeah. Yes. He probably was fairly conservative when he was young. Possibly. Yeah.  

[00:14:54] Jamon Fries:

But and from from all accounts,   that is something that I've heard on numerous numerous different,   sides of of everything. So I don't quite I don't doubt that too much. Mhmm.   But   things changed for him. Yeah. No. He became radicalized   by the left.  

[00:15:15] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. It you know, it's   for young people, it's easy to be radicalized, generally, one way or the other. Yeah. Either   their their brains are still kinda mush and everything like that. And   so, yeah, they can be,   radicalized and everything like that. You know? It's like so one person,   see something in them, like, going, oh, I can,   mold this the way I want it to be molded.   You know, this is how college professors are, you know. Oh, yeah. Generally. Absolutely.   Generally, not as extreme as this by any stretch of the imagination or anything like that. Right. Right. But it's it's when you're forming your ideals and everything like that. That's why you go to school during this period of time. You know?   It's it's kinda funny. It's also it's, like, recently on, like, TikTok and everything like that. I've seen this push by young women   where they say we need to change the age of consent to, like, 25.  

Wait. What? Yeah. Yeah. Some young women are saying five? 25. And they're saying, I'm willing to give up every right that I have until 25   Because they go, nobody should be like, because they say that older men that,   they say prey on, like, 18 year olds and 19, 20 year olds that those are just they're pedophiles is basically what they're calling them.   And so they they go, no. You can't because the the the whole dichotomy of that relationship is wrong and everything like that. There's it's a power play. It's not   it's there's all these things. I've even seen seen some men do it where they go, the men don't actually like the girl. They just wanna dominate the girl, you know. It's which to me is, like,   men are drawn to youth   because that's  

[00:16:58] Jamon Fries:

fertility. You know You you know? So I I have two aspects in this to to to   think about.   The first one is,   do older men   generally   approach younger women?   I Some do. I will admit that some do. Yeah. Of course. But I would I would I would say that the majority   of older men are actually approached by the younger women   because they see security. They see   they they see a father figure in some way that they didn't have growing up.  

[00:17:37] Jesse Fries:

Daddy issues. Yeah. The the,   cliched daddy issues sort of thing. Yeah. I I would say that's part of it, but also just   women go for older men. Men go for younger women. This is how it's been because   Yeah. The older you are now don't get me wrong. Like, sixties and whatnot. You know? There there comes a point when it's a bit sick.  

[00:17:58] Jamon Fries:

But, you know But more part two, you're all adults. But Early late twenties, early thirties, you know, a 28 year old man dating an 18 year old girl.  

[00:18:07] Jesse Fries:

Or even  

[00:18:08] Jamon Fries:

a guy in his thirties, you know? To Yeah. It it it it's not To be for me for me, it would be lower thirties would be the cutoff.   I I I so personally, I don't like, 35 to 40. I think you're a little too old to be dating someone that's half your age. You you know?  

[00:18:23] Jesse Fries:

To me, that That's after you, well, two more power to you. It it's it's a you're you're all adults. So Yeah. But, basically, this some of these people don't want girls to be adults, until 25.   So   it's, like,  

[00:18:39] Jamon Fries:

it's the craziest thing. I just don't understand really. Changing the age of consent   would be absolutely disastrous.   No. It would. Yeah. Because that would mean   that   up until a girl was 25 years old, if she had sexual intercourse with any man.  

[00:18:59] Jesse Fries:

No. No. Only because if you're both under the age see this is their argument. If you're both under the age of consent,   then it doesn't matter. Then it comes into, like, this two or three year rule that some states have.   Yeah. Yeah. No. This is where it comes from.   But it also means agent consent basically that that's especially 18, you know. So okay. So, you know, because some of these people say they wanna give up all their rights, the voting,   the drinking, the smoking, everything. Be be because they they say their brains aren't formed enough to actually make good decisions.   And so then they want us to live at home with mommy and daddy for that long. It's like, no. I'm gonna kick you out at 18. I'm sorry. Yeah. You know, it's And, you know, I mean, the the thing is  

[00:19:46] Jamon Fries:

is that   if you don't wanna be able to drink until you're 25,   don't drink until you're 25. Exactly. Exactly. If you don't wanna be able to smoke till you're 25, don't smoke till you're 25.   That's why I think That's your personal choice. Don't force that on everybody else because   there are some people, like, for example,   soldiers   that joined the military at 18.   Yeah. They still can't drink until they're 21 unless the country that they're in allows it. No. They also wanna change that. So so you can't be a soldier until 25. You you know, it's this Oh, god. Hell no.  

[00:20:20] Jesse Fries:

You know, it's a well, that's what Ukraine was doing. You're you're a 30 you're a 30 year old a little bit. Well, I mean, that's because they've run out of young people. No. No. No. No. That would that was no. That was the age, and then they had to lower it. Oh, okay. Okay.   I don't know why.  

[00:20:36] Jamon Fries:

I thought it was rather strange, but I I I'm sorry. Something if I if I were gonna go to war, I'd rather be crawling through foxholes at 18   than at 30.  

[00:20:46] Jesse Fries:

Well, yeah. You're you're you're you're,  

[00:20:48] Jamon Fries:

you're much more physically capable. You're much more,  

[00:20:52] Jesse Fries:

you can rebound from And you won't think about it fast. You know, it's like Yeah. Yeah. You're you're you're gonna do your job and just do it because you've been ordered to do it. Your your brain is valuable and not for good or bad, but, you know, it's like,   generally, the government if you work for the government, they unless if you're high up, they don't want you to be thinking. They just want you to do. No. Yeah. That's all they want. I mean, that that's what  

[00:21:14] Jamon Fries:

it's like you you talk to anybody   in the military. What is boot camp for?   People some people say, boot camp is to mold a soldier. No. Boot camp is to brainwash a soldier into being able to kill someone. Well, it it's to completely strip them of their identity. Of who they were. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And then rebuild it. Yeah. Yes. Completely. Yep.   It's to re it's to it's to brainwash   someone,   which means stripping away who they were and reforming it Yep. Yep. Yep. Into being someone that is okay with killing someone if they have to.  

[00:21:50] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. If they're ordered to, not even if they have to. Yes. Right. Just if they're ordered to, you know. It's,  

[00:21:57] Jamon Fries:

So, I mean yeah. No. And and that's a lot easier to do at the age of between 18 and 21   than it is at, say, 30. Oh, yeah. Yeah.  

[00:22:10] Jesse Fries:

Yep. It definitely is. It definitely is. Once you get to a certain age, your your brain is pretty much, static. You know? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Once again, it's that whole   you you you you don't have all the best decisions until you're 25. So I it's like, I understand the argument, but also it's like, we kinda need people like that, you know. It it's,   Yeah. For society to work, we need to,   unfortunately,   use people like that, you  

[00:22:36] Jamon Fries:

know. Well, I mean, you know, and and if you if you follow those if you follow that trajectory,   that would mean that   the   average   time that someone was starting to get employed would be about   25 years old.   Yeah.   Yeah. You wouldn't be you wouldn't be out of college until you were 25 years old.  

[00:23:00] Jesse Fries:

Yep. You know, I mean, it's Well, maybe out of high school. You know?   Yeah. I was just saying.  

[00:23:06] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. But, you know, I mean, it it's   when Not only that  

[00:23:10] Jesse Fries:

when you   when you consider, like, life expectancy, that's a third of your life. You wanna not be an adult.   That's if you live that long.   You know? It it like, average. That that's a third of your life.  

[00:23:24] Jamon Fries:

Yep.  

[00:23:26] Jesse Fries:

I'm not willing to give up a third of my life for that, you know. Elna. Elna. Like like, a fifth of my life is bad enough, you know.   So Yep.  

[00:23:35] Jamon Fries:

Yep. Couldn't agree more. Yeah. No. It it's it's   that that would be a horrible, horrible thing for them to actually get to get accomplished.  

[00:23:45] Jesse Fries:

Yep. Yep.  

[00:23:47] Jamon Fries:

You know? But, yeah, back to Again, it all it all comes down to personal choices. If you if you don't wanna be able to do stuff until you're 25,   then don't do stuff till you're 25. I mean, that's what it comes down to.  

[00:23:58] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah.   Well, yeah. Just just quickly wrap up, like, Charlie Kirk and whatnot, get kinda get back to that. It's,   they keep finding out more and more about, the situation, everything like that. He's not cooperating,   at all,   which that is completely his right.   Yep. But, yeah, they're finding out more and more, and it seems to be he's a leftist.   And,   yeah, just hated Charlie Cook, like, nobody's or Kirk, like, nobody's business. It was it's, Yeah. From I I heard that he was,  

[00:24:33] Jamon Fries:

he was very anti Trump and anti Kirk.  

[00:24:36] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Of course. Of course. Yeah. Yep. It's,   yeah. And we'll find out more. I know the FBI is   investigating   connections and everything like that. But, you know, they always do, and it doesn't actually mean anything,   until they actually find something. So  

[00:24:54] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. It it doesn't mean anything until it's gone through court and been tried and somebody else has been found guilty as of helping   for Oh, yeah. Yep. Yep. That's when it means something. Nothing not until then. No. Yep. And, of course, a lot of people got fired,  

[00:25:10] Jesse Fries:

for saying stupid things.   So  

[00:25:13] Jamon Fries:

I I love it.   I I've I've I've seen so many posts,   you know. You guys got me fired. Are you happy now?   Yeah. And, you know, first response is yes.   Second response   and then, you know, all these all these   outlets are starting   to to to say, you know, what do you what the hell are y'all doing? I thought you believed in free speech.   I heard the perfect response to that not too long ago. Uh-huh.   The response was,   when conservatives   were getting   canceled, losing their jobs, what did you say about free speech?   Yep. Use these exact same outlets said,   free speech does not mean freedom from consequences.  



[00:26:01] Jesse Fries:

It doesn't. And it's only free speech with the government.   It's not free speech,   with the corporation.   The corporation there is can fire you because of what you say. Yeah. It could be anything. You could say two, and all of a sudden, they could fire you. You know? Just because you said two things. Word two. No. No. Exactly. It it it could that's the company's right. They can set whatever policies they want,   and they go go from there. You know? It's Yep. And if you work for a school district, come on. What there's so many teachers did this. You know? It's like   the the two people that Doctors, nurses.  

Uh-huh. So many different.   The two people that did this on my feed were teachers.   Yeah.   It's like,   I I I what what makes them think that it's okay to do anything like this? How about you just   not say anything? You know? It's like,   is it that hard just to not say something?  

[00:27:03] Jamon Fries:

You know? It's Even even if you're happy about it, why don't you have to put it on social media? Yeah. It it it it shows that you really  

[00:27:12] Jesse Fries:

it shows that you don't have the brain capacity of a 25 year old. So what it show you you you it's   like, are you actually   thinking through all of the consequences that might come from this? Or do you think just because   you you've been able to spout everything hateful   about the right that you think that you can say anything hateful about the right? You know? It's Of course. That's what they think. Yeah. I know. But it's Yeah. Thankfully, it's not that case anymore. You know? It's like Mhmm. Thankfully,   they may have to watch what they say too. You know? If if anything good comes from this,   maybe it's that. Maybe they realize that they have to   actually keep a civil tongue, you know, amongst   people. You you you know, it's,   trolling   for just to be an ass, you know, just doesn't make much sense to me. Mhmm. I I heard one thing,  

[00:28:07] Jamon Fries:

and this is my final statement on the Charlie Kirk thing. Uh-huh. That really   just kind of   I had never thought of it. I had never seen anybody else say it,   on the Gutfeld show.   Tyrus   was on their first show after after the murder.   Tyrus   just looked at the camera and, you know, he did a whole deal. But then he's like,   how many buildings have burned be after Charlie Charlie Kirk was shot? Mhmm. Yep. None.   Yep. How many people were dragged out into the streets because they might look like the person that shot him? Yep. None.   Yep. How many police   were spat on   or   assaulted   for doing their job?  

Mhmm. None.   Yep. This is the difference between the parties.  

[00:29:03] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Completely.   Completely.   I agree.   I agree.   It's,   Yeah.   I agree.   Yeah. Let's see here. What else do we got?   Looks like the Senate Republicans are triggering the nuclear option, as they call it, just to get through some Trump nominees.  

[00:29:24] Jamon Fries:

Okay.  

[00:29:25] Jesse Fries:

It's a step in the right direction. They just need to do complete nuclear option on everything in the senate and get rid of the filibuster. But   Yes. Absolutely.   But they're not gonna do that, of course.   No. No.   So there's that at least, so Trump's Trump the nominees can actually start going through, so that'll be good. Yep.  

[00:29:47] Jamon Fries:

Yep. That would that'll definitely be good. Yeah. And then the National Guard. So  

[00:29:52] Jesse Fries:

national guard is going to Memphis.   Nice.   Yeah. Yeah. Both the governor and the mayor said we want the National Guard because they saw what they Yeah. The National Guard did in DC. So Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that that's  

[00:30:08] Jamon Fries:

if when you see what the National Guard was able to do in DC,   that's a powerful that's a powerful statement as to we can help you clean up. No. Completely.  

[00:30:18] Jesse Fries:

And even the governor of Maryland,   is thinking about letting the National Guard into Baltimore.  

[00:30:24] Jamon Fries:

Damn.  

[00:30:25] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. So   That's insane.  

[00:30:29] Jamon Fries:

Right? That's something I never thought I'd hear. I know, but  

[00:30:34] Jesse Fries:

come on. Let's clean these this mess up. Let's get law and order back. You know? It it's   let's let's make everybody safe. And I mean everybody. Let's just make everybody safe, you know, from all this   senseless violence.   Yeah.   Especially when it's just over   money, you know, a dope deal, and this and that. You know? It's just Yep. Wow. Yep.  

[00:30:59] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. And when when it's all about, can I put my drug my drug dealer on this corner or is it yours,   that's a bullshit reason to be killing people?  

[00:31:08] Jesse Fries:

Oh, it is. It is. Well, I would say as long as it's not war,   it's a bullshit reason to kill somebody.   Yeah. Yeah. I I it's it's like in war, if your government tells you you have to go kill somebody, well, you have to go kill somebody.   Yeah.   But   beyond that, I I don't  

[00:31:27] Jamon Fries:

everything else is Yeah. There's no excuse for it. No. For nothing. No.  

[00:31:35] Jesse Fries:

Yep. So what's this about DC and Trump and immigration?  

[00:31:39] Jamon Fries:

Well,   ever after   after it was no longer federalized,   the mayor of DC said that we're they're no longer gonna work with ICE.   Uh-huh.   So Trump came out a few days later and said, well,   looks like we might have to net federalize DC police again.   Yep. Yep. Exactly. If you're not gonna cooperate, we're gonna just we're just gonna federalize it again. I you know, the yes. They had to get Congress to approve to continue the last one.   Uh-huh. But, is there any I I haven't personally read the rules or anything. So I don't know if there's a   time lag that has to exist between when you federalize and when you can federalize again.  

Yeah. If not, you know, a week later, we're federalized again, baby. Let's stop all the crime here.  

[00:32:33] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Mine as well. Mine as well. You know? It's,   it's,   yeah, I just don't I I I've never understood that sanctuary city crap.   I've I've never understood why   our federal government ever allowed that to go to happen. I really don't. No. It should it should never have been allowed.   Because these are federal things. You you know? Yeah. But it's a federal law. It's a federal law. It's not a state law. Exactly. So I don't see I I've never understood that. I really don't. Especially with the supremacy clause and everything like that. I just Yeah. It just doesn't make any sense to me that   sanctuary cities can do this. You you know, it's like Yeah. It it's like when,   governor Abbott, my governor, you know,   tried to do stuff on the border with immigration and whatnot, the court slapped them down because Oh, yeah.  

It's the border is federal, and   the feds have supremacy on that. So, you know, it's   I don't see why   that'd be a different case. You know? I it's  

[00:33:35] Jamon Fries:

I don't think it is. I mean, if it is, it shouldn't be. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.   They look at it differently,   but but then again, you know, the a lot of people say, well, they're already in the country, so, you know, they're not breaking any laws now.   Mhmm. Bullshit.   Yeah. No. Exactly.   I I keep hearing people stating stating quotes quotes and stuff like that, stating statistics,   talking about how, you know, illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes.   You know, they're like, the they they commit crimes like 36 per 36%   of the of them commit crimes, whereas, you know, the citizens, that's a much larger number and stuff like that. Right. Yet what those statistics   are taking into effect is that, a, they committed a federal they killed committed a felony that can either be charged as a felony or as a misdemeanor depending on the judge   Mhmm.  

By crossing the border.   And then they are committing a felony   every single day that they stay in The United States.   So their presence here is them breaking the law, is doing something illegal,   which means   100%   of them   are breaking the law.  

[00:34:51] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. I I don't see anything else. They're not breaking they may not be breaking any other laws, but they're breaking that law. Right. And they they may not be violent criminals or anything like that, but they're criminals.   Yep. Yep. No. Completely. Completely.   Let's see here. It's, national news.   Yeah. I I I guess I could quickly do, apparently, GM, General Motors,   they have a   their main,   like, tech center and everything like that is up in Warren Yeah. Michigan.   One of their buildings   apparently   got Legionnaires, so they had to close it down. Two people actually caught Legionnaires disease there. Damn.   Yeah.  

Yeah. So they, had to close it down. I I I asked my wife about it. She goes, oh, yeah. The Cole Building. Yeah.   I go, okay.   That's C 0 L E, apparently, not C 0 A L. So it's it's Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I go, oh, you know. Okay. Well, of course, she knows she works for GM, so there was probably a email about it going around. Right. Right.   Yeah. Yeah.   That associated with,   Kirk.   So, apparently,   two people,   tried to blow up a Fox News vehicle.   Now a a Fox affiliate, so not like Fox News, but Fox affiliate,   a van in Utah.   They put an incendiary device underneath  

[00:36:19] Jamon Fries:

it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh.  

[00:36:21] Jesse Fries:

And it was a Pakistani.  

[00:36:24] Jamon Fries:

Of course.  

[00:36:26] Jesse Fries:

I I I don't understand that, though. You know? I thought that I thought   what do you mean, of course? We're we're talking Utah and Charlie Kirk   and the yeah. Back then. That makes sense. The bomb. The bomb.  

[00:36:38] Jamon Fries:

You know? Ah, okay. Okay.  

[00:36:41] Jesse Fries:

I mean, you know, I mean,   Okay. I see where you're coming from. I see where you're coming from. But yeah. So The the in the extreme the extreme Muslims use bombs.  

[00:36:56] Jamon Fries:

No. I understand. Democrat to use God in CNN. No. I understand. I understand.  

[00:37:02] Jesse Fries:

Since in my head, I was talking about, like, trying to Kirk Utah thing. Yeah. You know? Then all of a sudden it makes sense. I'm like,   that makes no sense. Yeah.   And then I where is where was this at? It was in North Carolina, I think it was.   Yeah. In Bryson City, North Carolina. So this guy, he has some video cameras up, and he notices this guy tearing down his Trump twenty twenty four flags.   Okay. And so he goes out there,   to get the guy off his property and get him to stop   taking down his property and everything like that. And he has a gun, of course. So he shoots off two,   shots into the air for warning. Right?  



[00:37:47] Jamon Fries:

Right.  

[00:37:48] Jesse Fries:

This guy,   he gets in his Jeep. I think it was a Jeep at least.   He gets into his vehicle with a sunroof. And then   as he's driving,   he starts shooting out the sunroof   at the at the property owner.  

[00:38:04] Jamon Fries:

Oh, shit.  

[00:38:06] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. This was this was before, Charlie Kirk. This was, September 6.   So he yeah. More political violence here. You know? And then, apparently, the guy did did another swing around   and started firing even more times. You know? It's like Oh, god.   Yeah. Yeah. It's it's What's that?   Some people really need to   take a deep breath.   Yes.   And not leave the house. It it's just better for people. You know? It's,   yeah.  

[00:38:39] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. Or once once they do once they do leave the house, we need to find them very quick and put them into sanitarium.  

[00:38:46] Jesse Fries:

Something.   Something. At least temporary. Yeah. You know, I mean, it  

[00:38:51] Jamon Fries:

at least maybe that would bring back the sanitariums because, I mean yeah. Because, you know,   Reagan got rid of them. But  

[00:38:58] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah.   Let's see. Then we also have,   apparently, Eminem and Kid Rock. They're both from Detroit area.   Mhmm. They're actually teaming up,   and they're on two different sides of the equation, political equation.  

[00:39:15] Jamon Fries:

Yeah.  

[00:39:16] Jesse Fries:

They're teaming up for a tear jerking charity,   in memory   of, Charlie Kirk.   Nice. So yeah. They said he was a great inspiration and loving that. And, you know, Eminem, he is on the left. He really is. Oh, yeah.   Big time.   He he's he's even said that his music isn't for people on the right, I believe.   Kinda like Green Day. They go, oh, you should be listening to us and everything like that. It's like, come on, guys. We can listen to you if you want. You know? It's   once you put it out there, you put it out there, and we can have fun with it. Yeah. And we can mean whatever we want it to mean anyways.   But, yeah, this guy, NICE, Eminem and Kid Rock. They're   burying the political hatchet, as they say.  

Nice.   Yeah. Yeah.  

[00:40:02] Jamon Fries:

And the And,   that the,   there the, Turning Point USA has put out some numbers   Ever since the, Charlie Kirk assassination,   they have received   37,000   requests   of new chapters   in high schools and universities.  

[00:40:28] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. No. It's been a huge   this is   this is really gonna shift, college campuses.  

[00:40:34] Jamon Fries:

Oh, big time. Yes.  

[00:40:36] Jesse Fries:

I think   it's   conservatives are gonna have more of a voice now. And Yeah.   I I I think some of these kids are gonna just say screw it. I'm gonna say my opinion because so many of them just have stepped quiet   stay quiet because the left has just badgered them into silence.  

[00:40:54] Jamon Fries:

Yep.   And, I mean, you know, it's the it was kind of interesting.   I   I watched the, Charlie Kirk show today. Uh-huh.   JD Vance was the host of it,   which was kinda cool.   Right.   But,   in one of the advertisements that they played,   there was a conservative lady that that went up to there and was talking to Charlie and   and, you know, she made a comment that   when I was in college,   yeah, it was kinda the same way, and that wasn't I mean, you know, that was a long time ago and not too not too long ago. Uh-huh. But she she was like,   I don't know who I can talk to.  

Yeah. I don't know who around me shares the same ideals. There's not there's nowhere for me to go.   Yep.   And that's going to change massively. Because I mean, right now, they had they had 900 chapters on universities   and 1,200 chapters in high schools.  

[00:41:58] Jesse Fries:

Mhmm.  

[00:42:00] Jamon Fries:

Which means that they had   approximately 2,100   chapters total.   Oh, yeah. And now there's gonna be another 37,000   potentially.  

[00:42:11] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. No. It it's, I mean, that is  

[00:42:15] Jamon Fries:

damn.  

[00:42:16] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. No. It could be a it's the the generation was already shifting more conservative.   Yep. And it   and I'm not sure if it's   I don't think it's only   the assassination,   but it was the left response to the assassination. Yes. That Yeah. It really  

[00:42:35] Jamon Fries:

sickened America. If the left didn't respond the way that they did, that that number would probably be quartered at least.  

[00:42:43] Jesse Fries:

Oh, easy. Yeah. It would have just been the right just morning. Yeah. And a few going, yeah. Yeah. But the way the celebration   was and the Yeah. Told you so. He deserved it. This and that and everything. It was,   I've seen so many videos. People go, yeah. No. You know, I've never   I've never been that way. But, you know,   I saw some guy. He goes, I've never owned a suit in my life, and I've never gone to church. So he bought a suit, and he went to church just for Charlie Kirk. You you know, it is I think it's this response of that guttural of the   hate that was inflicted   Yep.  

For just, like, kind of speaking his line. And  

[00:43:24] Jamon Fries:

and, you know, I I heard one person say, you know,   Charlie Kirk wasn't only a political martyr.   Uh-huh. He's also a Christian martyr.   No. I can see that. That Because his Charlie Kirk's faith was above and beyond top in for him.  

[00:43:39] Jesse Fries:

Oh, yeah. Yeah. From everything that he said and everything like that. Yeah. Yeah.  

[00:43:44] Jamon Fries:

Every decision that he made, everything that he thought about, all everything that he said  

[00:43:49] Jesse Fries:

was based on his religious beliefs. No. Yeah. Yeah. It it's like his, belief on gay marriage and everything like that. That was all based off religion. You know? And Yeah. The Bible says certain things about this. You you can   there are some religions out there and everything like that, that like, Episcopal and everything like that that try to   make it okay and say, oh, yeah. It's fine and everything like that. But the Bible is pretty clear on these things. You know? So it's like Bible is very clear on it. So, you know, if you don't wanna listen to the Bible, that's fine. I don't care.   Right. Because I I I don't care what the Bible says. But Yeah.  

If you if you actually   are Christian,   you know, generally, I think you would listen to the Bible. I I don't know. That's just Generally, yeah. Guess I'm The thing at all. The thing that a lot of people liked about Charlie Kirk too though was that while he had his beliefs  

[00:44:43] Jamon Fries:

on gay marriage and and homosexuality   Mhmm. At the same time,   he was always   inviting them into the discussion.  

[00:44:52] Jesse Fries:

No. Yeah. Yeah. And he always felt He did.  

[00:44:55] Jamon Fries:

He was he wanted them to be part of the Republican party.   He wanted them to be part of everything that he was doing.   Mhmm. Because you don't hold it against them. You look you don't like what they do.   You don't like that behavior, but he but you don't hold it against them either.  

[00:45:14] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, I would say that's the majority of conservatives,   you know. It's   it's just how   conservatives   really   are. You know? You you can   I've never   experienced hate from a conservative really. And, you know, I'm in an interracial marriage. So, you know, it's   a you would think I would. Right? You know? But   I haven't. Not once. You know? It's been   there've been some kooks out there, some really old weird people. But, you know, yeah. Yeah. It's like one clucked at my wife for some reason, like, when it bock or something like that.   We nobody knew what it meant. Not a single person knew what it meant. It was like  

[00:45:55] Jamon Fries:

Oh, it's hilarious.  

[00:45:56] Jesse Fries:

Okay, dude. And then he and then we ran into him again. It was at a mall in Manhattan, Kansas.  

[00:46:01] Jamon Fries:

Okay.  

[00:46:02] Jesse Fries:

And   we later ran into him again,   and he goes, oh, where'd you capture her? And I'm like, are you are you fucking kidding me, dude?   But that's the only thing I've ever experienced, you know? And I don't know his politics or anything like that. He was an old guy, like, 80 something, you know? It's like Yep.   You just shake your head and move on with your life. Yeah. It's, Yeah. But that was it. You know, all all my twenty some odd years with her, you know? It's Yep.   Yeah. It's weird. But speaking of Charlie Kirk and everything like that, it this thing has international legs, dude. It is crazy. It does. Yes.   It's like the British,   protest that happened over the weekend.  

Yeah.   That that really wasn't about Charlie Kirk, but they took his mantle up, and they were chanting his name.  

[00:46:55] Jamon Fries:

Yep.  

[00:46:56] Jesse Fries:

Unless if they're calling their King Charlie now, which I doubt. But   but   he yeah. And that was a massive protest, dude. They say Oh, yeah. It's like   the news media over there likes to say it was, like, a 100,000. But if you look at the crowd, you're, like, going,   no. That's nearly half a million, if not more. You know? Yeah. I I saw reports of a million.  

[00:47:22] Jamon Fries:

I I saw one I don't believe. It said that there were upwards of 3,000,000. I don't I don't No. Buy that one. No. But   I I've seen reports of close to a million people.  

[00:47:31] Jesse Fries:

Some people ask Grok, and Grok goes based off those photos about 300,000.   You know? So so, you know wait. It was over a 100,000 easy if you ask me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. At least double, if not more. I'd say closer to 500.   But, you know, it's   no. That was a massive protest. And, you know, I It was. Yeah. The funniest thing I saw about that is that they go, oh, everybody says this is a racist event.   Have you seen so many   creeds and races coming together for one movement? I haven't.   You know? It's like yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah. Yeah. Of course, majority were white because, well, it's England. Oh, yeah. That's so they're white there. Last time I checked, the natives are white. You know? So it's   no. It's, and then you have South Korea. South Korea had a protest, like, in support of Charlie Kirk.  



[00:48:24] Jamon Fries:

Oh, did they? I didn't hear about that one. Yep. Yep. South Korea did.  

[00:48:28] Jesse Fries:

Nice.   Yeah. And then it was, like, it was before,   the assassination, but   news that we missed was that there is a huge protest over in France, like, crazy protest.  

[00:48:40] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. The the   block everything or whatever it's called. Yeah. The block everything.  

[00:48:47] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. That was a massive protest.   There's because of the new prime minister and everything like that.   Yeah.   Nepal, they got rid of their government.   The Help.  

[00:48:59] Jamon Fries:

That's like And then but what what I love the most about Nepal is how they voted in the new government.  

[00:49:06] Jesse Fries:

How was it all? Through discord.   Jesus.  

[00:49:11] Jamon Fries:

The elections were run through Discord.  

[00:49:14] Jesse Fries:

Wow. Wow.   And right now, Discord in this country is taking on a different meaning, with Yes. The assassins. So that that is interesting. That is interesting. Yep. It was   no. It's been a crazy time around the globe right now. Yeah. It has been. Yeah.   It's been completely crazy.   Let's see here. What else,   in international? Looks like,   Brazil Supreme Court, they convicted, Bolsonaro.   Sorry. That's the name. For a coup attempt that he had. He had a coup plot.   This guy is,   Trump has   threatened Brazil   with tariffs and everything like that if they   convicted him. Well, they convicted him. So,   yeah, I don't know. I I don't know much about those politics. Some people say it's a political hit job. But, you know, if there was a coup attempt Yeah. There was a coup attempt. So I don't Yeah.  

That's kind of political in and of itself a coup attempt. So,   looks like the European,   carmakers are trying to get Brussels to extend the combustion engine deadline.   Right now, it's at thirty five. Twenty thirty five, they have to sell everything EV,   But they're going, this isn't gonna work with what people are buying. It's just not gonna work. No. No. No. So chance in hell. And that's in Europe where they're they're all in on the green agenda, like, hard before. So   it just doesn't seem to be feasible, though.  

[00:50:49] Jamon Fries:

Yep.  

[00:50:53] Jesse Fries:

And then,   so some Russian drones ended up over in   Poland?  

[00:51:01] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. I heard about that. There were quite a few that got shot down.  

[00:51:04] Jesse Fries:

Yeah.   Yeah. Yeah. And and the first report I saw on it, it was like,   so Ukraine told Poland that there are Russian drones   over Poland.   So   Ukraine told Poland that they had drone Russian drones over them. I'm like, that sounds a bit iffy. That's that that that seems a bit like, the,   the Nord Stream two,   explosion and everything like that. It's it's like, did did you create some of these had duct tape on them, dude. I saw a picture of one with duct tape on it. So   so   it's, like,   were these just ones that were shut down in Ukraine and then Ukraine decided to lob them over into Poland as a   as a false flag to try to get NATO to To try to get Yeah. Involved. Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. It seems to be working too. Put it wouldn't put it past me.  

No. He just created but, yeah, duct tape. I I can't see   Russia's good. Oh. No. No. There's there's no way a  

[00:52:06] Jamon Fries:

because there's no way a Russian military drone is gonna be sent from Russia   over Poland   with duct tape holding it together.  

[00:52:15] Jesse Fries:

I don't think Russia has fallen that far yet. Yeah. I because they're making, like, like, a thousand two or 5,000 it's like it was either, like, a thousand or 5,000 drones a day.   Yeah. Russia is. You know, they've really ramped up. So it's like Yeah.   Yeah. If we if we get into this, we're gonna be in trouble because   yeah.   Yeah.   And then what was it?   The India   and China and Russia, they what was it that they did? I can't I forgot to get that news story. But, basically, they just   spat in our eye. They're going, we don't care what you say.   Yeah. So   it's the bricks sort of thing. You know? It's like Yep. Yep.  

With the oil trade and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. They just don't care. It's like so Yeah.   But meanwhile  

[00:53:05] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. That's what I'm saying too. But meanwhile They're they're all sovereign nations. They can do whatever the fuck they wanna do. Yep. Meanwhile, NATO is go in and we can put we can put blockades and shit like that if we decide   to. But they are for they are sovereign nations that have the right to make their own decisions.  

[00:53:23] Jesse Fries:

Well, yeah. It's like, Russia and China, they're building a pipeline   from Russia straight to China. So and India is just right there too. So I don't think there's anything we can do. I'm just saying. You know, it's   might not go over the sea, but, you know, it's, you know,   you we can stop these things. Russia,  

[00:53:43] Jamon Fries:

China, India, they're all interconnected. They're all directly connected to each other. They don't need to ship overseas.   Yep. They can ship by land if they want to.   Mhmm. Now it it's highly unusual to see Russia and China   working together like that. That's   that had to take a lot.  

[00:54:02] Jesse Fries:

Well,   Well, especially with India right there. Because India and China hate each other. They actually fight on the border. They have battles on the border. Well, that that's what I was saying. For India Yeah. And China  

[00:54:13] Jamon Fries:

to agree to to, like, ship goods for through China for India up to Russia.   That had to take a hell of a lot of work because, I mean, it wasn't too long ago before I was hearing about con since I was hearing about conflicts between the two. Yeah. But there there's they're coming together, and it's, it's just  

[00:54:32] Jesse Fries:

India has always been neutral is how they've always viewed it, even during the cold war.  

[00:54:37] Jamon Fries:

So India will trade with anyone and everyone. They don't care what your policy is. They don't care. They don't care.  

[00:54:43] Jesse Fries:

So, yeah, it's   it's what it is. But speaking of China,   apparently, there is a huge,   kinda like a Snowden event sort of thing.   They like, 500   gigabytes   of their source code for the great firewall   were were was sent off. It's available now. Yeah. Yeah. 500 gigabytes of their source code   is now open to the public.   Somebody   spilt it. And, apparently, three other countries are actually using it   on their own citizens, and maybe they didn't know about it.   Wow. Yeah. It was like one of them was, me Myanmar   and then I think Ethiopia.   Mhmm.  

And, Kazakhstan.   Okay.   Pakistan too, it looks like. So Yeah.   Yeah. Yeah. So  

[00:55:44] Jamon Fries:

That's that's pretty big.  

[00:55:46] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. So maybe this will allow,   hackers to,   break through the great firewall of China. You know? It's,   Maybe. Yeah. Yep. Yep.   I thought that was a big story right there. That is that's definitely interesting. Yeah. Yep. Yep.   Let's see here. Well,   about to go into business, so we might as well talk that we let everybody know we are a value for value podcast here at the minus meanderings. What this means is that whatever value you get from our show, please send that on to us. You know? If it's a dollar, if it's a $100, if it's $2, there's a support link in, the show notes and everything like that,   or these new podcast apps, you can just send straight through the podcast app, and it'll just send you that way.  

There's so many different ways to do it. You can also send us, your ideas,   artwork,   jingles, whatever. You can send them to me at jesse@mindlessc.com,   or you can send them to jamon@minusmeatjamonatminusmeanderings.com.   And anything that you do, just let us know that you're listening, having fun. You know? Just let us know. That'd be great even. So just send that on to us if you can.   We would truly appreciate it.  

[00:56:58] Jamon Fries:

Absolutely.   So on to business news.   Mhmm.   The,   Ram, Dodge Ram   is no longer going to be producing their electric vehicle trucks.  

[00:57:13] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Everybody is stopping the EV stuff. It's  

[00:57:16] Jamon Fries:

But I like where they're going.   Uh-huh. Where's that? Still gonna have an electric engine.  

[00:57:23] Jesse Fries:

Okay.  

[00:57:24] Jamon Fries:

But it's gonna have a gas powered generator that that powers their batteries.  

[00:57:30] Jesse Fries:

So it's like a hybrid, basically. Yes.   Yeah. But you can plug it in if you want.  

[00:57:36] Jamon Fries:

I don't think I don't know if you'll be able to plug it in or not.  

[00:57:39] Jesse Fries:

Okay.  

[00:57:41] Jamon Fries:

If it has going just   right. I mean, so there's a possibility you'll be able to plug it in,   but the there   it's gonna it's gonna have, like, a 690   mile range   Okay.   Which is pretty good. That's pretty good. I mean, I   I don't know of any combustion engine vehicles that can go that that far without fueling up except for a semi. Right. Right. You know, semis have, like, two fifty or a 100 gallon tanks on them. So Mhmm. Yeah. Yeah. But, but yeah. No. They're so but I I like that they're keeping the electric engine aspect with the no gear shifting, the quick quick   acceleration, and stuff like that.  



[00:58:21] Jesse Fries:

Right. Right.  

[00:58:23] Jamon Fries:

But that they're not limiting it to   just plugging it in for power, but they're actually putting a gas powered generator there to   to do that. And, you know, the article did say this isn't a new thing, but it's very rare to be seen in the industry. So Right. Right. No. That's cool. That's cool. Yeah.  

[00:58:43] Jesse Fries:

Yeah.   Along the lines of EVs. Apparently, I saw this story where,   EVs are causing people to have more motion sickness than, non EVs   because of the fast acceleration   and then also no noise or anything like that. Yes. Yeah.   And so and the nice pickup and go, you know, phew. Yeah. It's, so   it's, like, I see that. Yeah. So apparently, EVs are causing more sickness.  

[00:59:11] Jamon Fries:

Plus, you know, with with the shifting,   you have, like, this pause between accelerations.   Right. Right. It's it's not just a constant acceleration all the way through with the with the combustion engine. So, you know, that that that could play some part in that as well.   Mhmm.   Yep. Yep.   Yeah. That's pretty interesting.  

[00:59:33] Jesse Fries:

It is. It is.   Then on to legal, we already covered that JD Vance was hosting the Charlie Cook Cook show. So,   but, apparently,   the,   like, founder of BLM,   Monica Cannon Grant.   So   she has decided   or from what I can tell that she has decided that she will accept,   she will plead guilty   Okay. To   a fraud.   So Mhmm.   You know, I I I really I find that whole situation sad. You know? It's like you have this movement, the Black Lives Matter movement.   Whether or not you think that's a good cause, bad cause, that's up to you to choose. But Right. For, like, a founder   to take that money and just use it for their own   interests Yeah. Yes. It it destroys the movement. It it's like, oh, so is that really even a real movement? You know, it's like,   I I know the people that supported it. I I bet they sure believed it. But Yeah. It really casts,   bad light just on the whole thing. And so  

[01:00:41] Jamon Fries:

Well, I mean, I've I never really thought much of the BLM movement to begin with. Right. Because simply because it was   only   the lives of people that were killed by a white person that mattered.   No. I understand. I understand. Yeah. I know what you're saying. Yeah. You know, just the the race aspect behind it really drew me off of it because,   I mean, so many black people are getting killed out there, but by other black people. So   it it just   it just didn't really hit me as something that was legitimate   because it seemed like they only cared about that one aspect of it. So  

[01:01:21] Jesse Fries:

yeah. Well, I would say that   white and blue. Because if the if if the guy was blue,   no matter what race he actually was,   they they they they had problems with that as well.   No. So Not really. They did. They did. They did. I never saw him go against the black person a black person and a black police officer that killed the black person. They did. They they did. They did. I saw it. Yeah. I've seen Well, they did. That that didn't make the national news. So No. Yeah. I understand. I understand. But, yeah, they would protest a little bit and everything like that because it was cops. To them, all cops are the same. Right. Might as well be white. So Okay. Well, that that makes it a little bit better for me then because, you know, what I saw in the media  

[01:01:59] Jamon Fries:

was they only went after   it if it was a white cop or a white person that killed a black person. Oh, okay. That's that that's the only thing you ever saw in media. So, you know, that's to me, it was all about   they only care if it's a white person that kills a black person. They don't care about all the other black people that are die that are die Yeah. Yeah. No. No. It it it was mostly about the police is really what it was mostly about.   So Yep. Okay. Then then I don't have nearly as much of an issue with it. Okay. Perfect. Look at that. We can all come together.   Okay.  

About the, JD Vance hosting the Carly Charlie Kirk show, though, I I actually watched part of it. Uh-huh.   Oh my god. They really need to fire their sound man.   So whenever they they JD Vance had a microphone that was a directional microphone. It it would only pick up what was directly in front of it. Right. Right.   And they put little,   the little clip on mics on all of the guests.   Uh-huh.   And so   as soon as as soon as the the first guest was on there,   anytime JD Vance was talking, I was hearing him echoing between the two mics.  

[01:03:19] Jesse Fries:

That's pretty bad. That is pretty bad.  

[01:03:22] Jamon Fries:

The second time around, it it got did that a little bit. Uh-huh. And then they started they I think they must just started turning the the mics off on the guests when Vance was talking.   Probably so. Yeah. Because it would be like you hear the echo for a couple seconds and then the echo goes away.  

[01:03:39] Jesse Fries:

No. It makes sense. Makes sense. Yeah. He's not   he's not a podcaster. So, you know, he doesn't Well, no. But I mean the mic and whatnot. So  

[01:03:47] Jamon Fries:

well, it it the the he was just speaking into the mic, but Right. They were using   the mics on the guests   were mics that pick up everything in the area.   And they weren't either far enough away or Right. They were they were basically sitting pretty high. Yeah. Yeah. They they were sitting right at right at the edge right on the side of his desk.   Okay.   And so he was pretty close to them. So their mics were picking up what he was saying as well.   It's, you know, if they put a put a directional mic in front of them, then Right. It would have solved the problem.   If they would have   separated the two the two things and, you know Oh, yeah. Yeah. And edited it edited it live,   That would have solved the problem. But Right. Yeah. No. The producers of of it just really blew blew it on that one. It happens. Yeah. They need a noise gate on that those things or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They they weren't as professional as we are.  

At least I remember to turn the echo on my mic off. Well, that's good. That's good. Yeah.  

[01:04:54] Jesse Fries:

Professional.   Yep. Yep. That's us.   Oh, that's science.   Okay. Science. What do we got?  

[01:05:06] Jamon Fries:

Now remember, studies.   There was a study done that shows that studies are wrong.   Exactly. A lot of the time. Yes. Yes. Most of the time. Yes.   So   there was a study done.   They say that it proves   that primary care providers   are less likely   to re to recommend   PSA,   which is prostate   prostate,   cancer screening   Uh-huh. For black men.   Specifically, black men are not being it's not being recommended to black men. Okay.   Which many people find concerning because   black people are more likely to get prostate cancer younger than than white people than white men are.   Some say that they that they get it at a higher   rate than white men do as well. Interesting.  

But   my only issue with this study   is from the sentence,   but the 29   black men interviewed for this study   related that in many instances, their providers dismissed the PSA test as unnecessary.   Yeah.   Yeah.   29  

[01:06:19] Jesse Fries:

black men for this study.   Yeah. That that that's a pretty low number.   It is a pretty low number.   See, this is why a lot of studies cannot be That could've that could've been  

[01:06:30] Jamon Fries:

one doctor.  

[01:06:31] Jesse Fries:

Yep. Yep. Yeah. It could've been. It could've been. And and you know something, really though,   a lot of those things, even   a lot of doctors say they're useless.   Like, unless unless if you have symptoms.   If you have symptoms   of, like, a large prostate, everything like that, like, where you're waking up   so many times in the night and everything like that to Right. Yeah. Go pee that people my age and whatnot   start doing, you know.   Not me though, by the way. Apparently, my based off that, you know, my prostate's fine.  

[01:07:04] Jamon Fries:

Yep.  

[01:07:07] Jesse Fries:

But   yeah. So it it's like if there's no symptoms, it's like, why   treat it? You know? It it's like, why   do evasive things? You know? To me, it's like, I have no symptoms. Why do you wanna shove your finger up my butt? Why do you wanna do these things? I have no symptoms.  

[01:07:25] Jamon Fries:

You know? It's like Well, the PSA   isn't the isn't that's not what the PSA is. No. I know. But it's all The PSA is a specific it's prostate specific antigen.  

[01:07:37] Jesse Fries:

No. I know. I know. Yeah. I know. It's like a blood test or something. I know. But a lot of the times, they've also found that   from studies,   once again, studies   Yeah. That,   that I've seen is it's like a lot of times, it's like prostate cancer is generally so slow   that Yes.   It's like even if you have it, you're gonna die from something else first.   You know? Unless if you have it young. You know? There's there's a quote in here.  

[01:08:06] Jamon Fries:

It's an often used phrase. Prostate cancer is a cancer one dies with. It's not a disease you die from.  

[01:08:12] Jesse Fries:

Yes. Yes. You know? Yes. Of course. There's always somebody that does die. Yeah.   Yeah. But in general, they don't. They die from something else. You know? It's like,   died with COVID or because of COVID. You know? It's that sort of thing. You know? It's like Yeah.  

[01:08:29] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. So   Well, according according to this article,   the incidence,   the incidence of prostate cancer among black men in The United States is sixty two percent to eighty percent higher than in men of other races.   Wow. That is crazy.   That's crazy. That's very crazy.   Their mortality rate is twice that of non black men as well.   Okay. So So may maybe the doctor maybe the doctor is like, yeah. No. To hell with the PSA test. We we we need to stick the finger up.  

[01:09:01] Jesse Fries:

Well, that's to check for a large prostate and whatnot. But yeah. It's like   yeah. No. It's   I'm about to have a physical. I'm gonna say no. I wonder if I could say no. Can I say no to that? Yes. You can. Yes. You can. Okay. I will say no to that because I don't need I don't want it. I'll take the blood work. Do whatever you want. I'll even poop in a bucket for you.   You know you know that colon guard or whatnot? Yeah. Yeah.   Just don't just don't. I just it's too weird, dude. I don't.  

[01:09:29] Jamon Fries:

I've My my doctor wants me to do the colon test.   Colonoscopy.  

[01:09:34] Jesse Fries:

Oh, actualoscopy?   Yeah.   Oh, fun. Put me under.   You can do it if you put me under. No. That's what I'd say. It's it's like Yeah. You need to put me under. You know? It's Yeah. I I don't wanna be awake for that. You know? It's, Hell no. Yeah. I know.   I've gone this long in my life.   Yeah. I think we'll keep with it.  

[01:09:57] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. Yeah.   But, anyways  

[01:10:03] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Yeah. So so let's stick to, like,   like, medical science here. So, apparently,   the the this 34 year old, he was blind. Right?   You know? And, apparently, there's this type of blindness   where it can be cured   by extracting a tooth, smashing it flat,   inserting it and the lens into your eye.   Wait. What?   Yeah. Yeah. You take one of your teeth, you smash it flat,   and then you use that to hold a lens in place.   Damn.   Right? Right? It is   the   tooth in eye surgery. That's informally what it's called, but it helps, restore vision in patients with the most severe forms of,   corneal blindness.  

Damn. And, apparently, they they've been doing this since the sixties.   And it works.   It works. Yes.   What the fuck? I know. Right? Insane. It's like if you have a healthy back of the eye,   then you can do this.   A lot of this comes from, like, chemical burns or fire or explosions, that sort of thing. Yeah. Sometimes autoimmune issues and everything like that. Okay. But yeah.   Isn't that crazy?   That is very crazy.   Yeah. So so what what it is is that the dark holes You know what's even crazier though? Uh-huh.  

[01:11:32] Jamon Fries:

Who the fuck was the first guy to convince someone that this might work?   Right? Isn't that the craziest thing? So so Yeah. We're gonna take your crude tooth, crush it up, and put it in your eye.  

[01:11:43] Jesse Fries:

Well, no. You know what? It doesn't say crush it up. It's flattened. You they flatten it, so they just press it flat.  

[01:11:51] Jamon Fries:

But would that crush a tooth?  

[01:11:53] Jesse Fries:

Apparently not exactly. Maybe. I don't know. This is what it says. This is what the news story says. It says it's flat. Yeah. I know. No. Yeah. I know. Yeah. And then a a hole is drilled in it, and then a lens is placed inside of that. And then that's implanted   the tooth and everything into your eye.  

[01:12:12] Jamon Fries:

Okay. So that actually makes a little bit of sense then. It holds the   the tooth would hold the the Lens. Lens in place.   Mhmm. And since it has the hole drilled in it, the light goes through.   Right. And you don't have to worry about muscle control or anything else like that.   So Yeah. Probably still have to wear glove probably have to wear glasses for the rest of their lives or something because focusing would be very difficult.   Right. Right. But  

[01:12:39] Jesse Fries:

Oh, man. It's still a picture after the procedure. Dude, that was not a pretty picture. But you can see okay.  

[01:12:47] Jamon Fries:

Oh, hell.   That's crazy, though, isn't it? That is very crazy. Yeah.  

[01:12:52] Jesse Fries:

Man, you look like you got tooth in the eye.   Yeah. Because I do.  

[01:13:02] Jamon Fries:

No. I I saw the article just, I saw a headline for the article,   the   tooth and eye Uh-huh. Sir tooth and eye cures blindness or something like that.   And they were talking about removing the tooth. So I was like, okay. So was his tooth ingrown and grown and got into his eye? Yeah. No. Cavity or something? But, no, I guess not. It's like used as a structure. So Yeah. No.   That's insane.  

[01:13:29] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. It is. It is.   Wow.  

[01:13:35] Jamon Fries:

Mhmm. Another study has been put out   that augmented reality and virtual reality sports games   improve   psychological   well-being and ease of loneliness.  

[01:13:48] Jesse Fries:

Okay. So sports help even if they're artificial, basically.  

[01:13:53] Jamon Fries:

Well, you see, that's the thing. I don't   this thing kept saying sports games, sports games, sports games.   But the aspects of the game that they were talking about was not the sports itself. It was the aspect   of communicating with other people, of seeing the avatars of other people made it so that you didn't feel as lonely.   Oh, okay. So I don't think it had anything to do with sports.  

[01:14:20] Jesse Fries:

Oh, so this is like Wii Sports,   apparently. Yes. Okay.   Okay.  

[01:14:26] Jamon Fries:

Yes. And and so I mean, I yeah, it to I I looked at it and I saw, okay. So this has absolutely nothing to do with sports.   I've seen plenty of world World of Warcraft players that when they were part of a guild that was very communicative, you know, they didn't feel alone. They they felt like they were part of something.  

[01:14:45] Jesse Fries:

And so this is any kind of gaming, I would think. I would think so. Yeah. That would make sense. That would make sense.  

[01:14:53] Jamon Fries:

But they specifically said it was sports games. It was the the article was all about sports games.   And it only augmented reality and virtual reality, not over a PC.   But, I mean,   you know, over the PC, you're still interacting with the avatars. You're still talking to people.   You know, it it's not like the old days where the only kind of communication you could possibly have was through chat.   No. Yeah. Because you could have a headset on. But now you put the headset on and you're verbally communicating with all the members of your guild and stuff like that in World of Warcraft  

[01:15:31] Jesse Fries:

when you go out on raids and stuff like that. I mean, if you're not on voice chat in a raid, you're fucked. Well, yeah. It is like Call of Duty. You can throw on a headset and talk with your team and everything like that. You know, it's, yeah. It's   and then you wouldn't be lonely. Absolutely.  

[01:15:44] Jamon Fries:

Yes. If you're communicating with people like that, you're not going to be lonely   because you're communicating   with people. What do you know?  

[01:15:52] Jesse Fries:

Right? Crazy. Crazy.  

[01:15:55] Jamon Fries:

But, yes. They were saying they were trying to say that everyone should should start playing   augmented reality and virtual reality sports games.  

[01:16:04] Jesse Fries:

Makes sense. Specifically, the sports games. Nothing. Right. Right. I I I don't care about the sports. Yeah. Do do a call of duty if you wanna blow somebody's head off. You know, that that that's cool, you know. It's, yeah.  

[01:16:14] Jamon Fries:

I don't know because they're saying that might lead to shoot to a shooter, you know. That's what they always say. Yeah. I know.   They've been saying that shit from so long ago, and I've seen people talking about how   the the reason that   that people were were kind of   showing their happiness about Charlie Kirk,   was because   they have been so desensitized   to it because of gaming and and all the war on on TV and stuff like that? No. Most of these people are women. There's a few guys, but most of them are women. And women don't watch those things generally. No. They don't watch those things. They don't play the shooting the shooting games and stuff like that. There's a few, of course. But But, you know, to to me,   it it was all about that being the entertainment is the problem.  



[01:17:02] Jesse Fries:

No. Yeah. Completely.  

[01:17:05] Jamon Fries:

To the medieval ages. What was the entertainment?   Jousting. It was the beheadings. It was  

[01:17:12] Jesse Fries:

go go go to Roman era. You got the coliseum and everything like that. Yeah. You had some some theater because of the Greeks and everything. Right. Right. But, generally, it was lopping somebody's head off or he's seen a guy eaten by a lion or Yes. You know, whatever. Yeah. That was the entertainment. You know. It's, Yes. That has been our entertainment  

[01:17:31] Jamon Fries:

ever since   well, I mean, if if you believe in evolution,   ever since man stood up and started walking.   This is why the NFL has to stop being such a bunch of wusses. Exactly. Yes. Just say, I don't wanna Gladiator   sport.  

[01:17:47] Jesse Fries:

I don't   I don't wanna watch wusses. Oh, you touched his helmet.   Oh. Yeah. Hey.   Yeah. No.   No.   You know, all that's gonna do is make me drink. And you know what that would show? Is that is I'm a smart person. Because, apparently, there's been a study done   where it, says that the smarter you are, the more you drink. And so alcoholics are generally smarter than   nonalcoholics.  

[01:18:18] Jamon Fries:

Just say it. It means I'm not smart.  

[01:18:21] Jesse Fries:

Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah.   Nah.   Nah.   Nah.   Nah.   Nah.   Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah. Nah   associate's degree. There's no way you're smarter than me. I I'm more educated. I that that's what I'll say. It's it's   that that's the thing. It's like I've I've known so many I since I did master's, you know, I know a lot of people getting a masters are pretty dumb.   Oh, yes. Oh, yes. So, you know, it's like, just because you're going for a masters doesn't mean you're bright. So and then I'm sure the same thing is for PhDs because some of those people are going up for PhDs too. So Oh, yeah. It's just whether or not you have the option to keep going. You know? It's,   that's it.  

And then, of course, another study because we love studies here because even though they really don't mean anything, we love studies.   Yes. We   do.   I love to throw them in my wife's face sometimes. You know? I I was like so I read a study, and she just rolls her eyes and goes, whatever.   I love I can see you doing that. I love when when your wife rolls her eyes at you. To me, it's one of the greatest pleasures a man can have. It really is. You know? It's, it's like dad jokes. The just the rolling of the eyes. Oh, yes. Yes. The dad jokes.   It's it's the sweetness of life. It is the sweetness of life. I used to hate dad jokes so much.  



[01:19:49] Jamon Fries:

Uh-huh.   But now, even though I'm not a dad, I still I I I love them. I wanna hear them all the time now.  

[01:19:56] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. I also just   I also read a study.   That's that's   it. That's it. Guys that do dad jokes are are are smarter than people that than dads that don't. So, you   know, see, there's a study for everything, people. There there absolutely is. Yes. Just don't believe most of them. But it's always funny to say a study says. It really is.   You know?   So, anyways, this study that I'm talking about, kinda shows that, apparently, young people are not happy anymore. And it used to be, like, middle aged people were the unhappiest   in the world. And this is this is a worldwide study,   with 1,700,000   people in 44 countries. Okay.  

And it's young adults that are the most distressed.   And then older adults, we we fare a lot better than them. And if you look at what's going on in the world, you can see it right now. You really can. Yeah. It's   it's like as older ones, you know, the kids will go, you don't understand. It's like, yeah, we don't understand. Because when we're your age,   we're just   we're just, living life in the world. Yeah. Yeah. Now they're not even getting drunk. Have you seen that where the this this younger generation isn't even drinking? It's like, maybe that's your problem. I saw that.   Yeah. Yeah. Once again, another study. See? Look at this. Yeah. It's  

[01:21:20] Jamon Fries:

This just proves that they need to be smarter by drinking.  

[01:21:23] Jesse Fries:

See? Exactly.   Not on your phone. The more   happy you are, so go out there and get drunk all the time. They should just shut down phones and so or maybe social media. Shut shut down social media on Friday and Saturday evenings.   So Yes. Then you actually have to go out and be social   amongst people,   which will lead to drinking, which will lead to a few bad decisions,   which is this what the stories that life is about. You know? It's, And  

[01:21:53] Jamon Fries:

we if you were to do that,   when you start posting on social media the rest of the week,  

[01:22:00] Jesse Fries:

you'll actually have stories to post about. Right? Wouldn't that be crazy? Wouldn't that be crazy?   Guess what my friend did drunk.   Yeah.   Those are great stories. You know? It's They really are. Yes.   Yes. They they are.   Let's see here. What else do we got? Looks like you have a technology one.  

[01:22:22] Jamon Fries:

Well, it's kind of a technology one. It's more of a   very interesting.   So   I guess   not only are   chatbots   being used for   as psychologists   and stuff like that, Uh-huh. But there's now a a very large growing trend   that   people are using chatbots   to discover their spiritual life and religion.  

[01:22:53] Jesse Fries:

Interesting.  

[01:22:55] Jamon Fries:

Interesting. Yeah. There there's some apps called there there's some apps out there that   answer questions about the Bible and stuff like that. I guess there's one app app out there that   claims to allow users to chat with God.  

[01:23:12] Jesse Fries:

So they named a computer God is what you're telling me. Basically, yes. Yes.  

[01:23:18] Jamon Fries:

And so, you know, the   it it's, it it's being used as an introduction   into faith for some people.   Uh-huh.   There's some concerns about about about it though because Yeah. You know, chat bots are designed to validate a user's opinion.   Uh-huh. Yeah. Rather than actually   in rather   than actually introduce them to something new.  

[01:23:43] Jesse Fries:

Right. Right.  

[01:23:45] Jamon Fries:

And so there's a there's a lot of people that are concerned that it can reinforce delusional or conspiratorial   thinking,   which   to many people, if you have religion, you're delusional.   So   yeah. Well, you know know the  

[01:24:02] Jesse Fries:

You know, that's a possibility, but, you know, we really don't need any help in that matter. You know, we're pretty good on it on ourselves. We're we're damn good at it ourselves. Yeah. It's it's like all the conspiracy   conspiracy theories about the Charlie Kirk thing and everything like this. Some of them just like going. It's like everybody's done it. I had the only one I haven't seen is that it was a alien plot. I haven't seen that one yet. But I'm sure it's got yet. Yeah. So It probably is. I've heard the Israel one. Yeah. I've I've heard  

[01:24:31] Jamon Fries:

I've heard the it was,   it was the right wing that took him out. I've heard Uh-huh.   You've you've there's there's so many out there. Yeah.  

[01:24:39] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. Exact yeah. There's   too many out there. You you you know, it's it's like, it was it was faked. He's actually alive. He was just tired of it. Yeah.   This, that, it's it's like, I I've seen good I don't know much about bullets, but does this make sense? Would would would it, like was he shot from the back instead, man? It's like I'm just like  

[01:25:00] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. Oh, yeah. The the the theory that there was a that there was a guy standing beside him   that had his arms crossed, and they say that he shot him   under his arm from the side.  

[01:25:14] Jesse Fries:

Yeah. It it's   just people, you need to   you need a life. You you we need to shut off your Internet so you could actually go out to a bar and just drink and just,   then you can conspiralize  

[01:25:26] Jamon Fries:

there and, everybody will just go, oh, you're just a drunk crank. Yeah. Let's just do that. Which is which is supposed to be done. That's not supposed to be done. You get drunk, you talk about your conspiracies,   other people that are drunk listen to you,   and then you go I'll go home and you forget about it because your hangover interrupts it.  

[01:25:46] Jesse Fries:

Yes. Okay. That's the name of this that's the name of this episode. Let's get drunk. I think that's what it is. Absolutely.  

[01:25:53] Jamon Fries:

Yeah.  

[01:25:54] Jesse Fries:

Because   that's what we need, apparently.   Would solve all of the problems. Yeah. Just so people would actually get drunk. Yeah. It's Yep.   Yep. But do you have any other stories? I have one last No. I don't. One. So   so you you know how   every president, like, modern president has a presidential library. Right? Right.   Well, apparent   so do you know who pays for these libraries?   Usually donors.   Yes. Donors.   The government actually doesn't doesn't at all.   It's, they get everything gets handed over to the federal government,   to run, like, the national parks or something like that. There's a working that does it. A former friend of mine works with Eisenhower. Built and then it's the national parks department that deals with it.  

Yeah. I'm not sure. It may be national parks. I I I personally can't remember what park what department it is or anything like that. But, apparently,   Biden is having some issues raising money.   To to yeah. Yeah.   This one guy, let's see.   John Morgan.   He's a   donor, whatnot.   He says that, you know, he gave, like, a million dollars   or nearly a million dollars   to the to Biden for his, election. Right? Right.   And then he wasn't the nominee. So he goes, I I'm not gonna give any money. I want a $800,000   refund. That's what I   want. Yeah.  



[01:27:26] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. It's Well, you know, it makes absolute sense if you if if you gave money for or to someone for an election.   Yep. That fund does not get automatically transferred to somebody else when   the person that you want gets booted out. No. Exactly.   Exactly. You know? Which is exactly what they did. All of a sudden   all of a sudden, Harris had all of had all the money that was had been donated to Biden.  

[01:27:53] Jesse Fries:

Yep. Yep.  

[01:27:55] Jamon Fries:

They claimed her it was because, well, she was the VP.   She was his VP. Therefore, it was, like,   a legitimate thing that that they could just transfer the money across. But Yeah.  

[01:28:07] Jesse Fries:

Yeah.   Apparently, he also suggested if he wanted a library, it would be a bookmobile.  

[01:28:17] Jamon Fries:

Oh, hell yeah. I love it.  

[01:28:21] Jesse Fries:

Because I was it was a joke. It's like, yeah. We know it's a joke. It's a good one, dude. I like it. Yeah. It's a really good one.   So yeah. Yeah. We should,   yeah, we should get on the Joe Biden bookmobile.  

[01:28:36] Jamon Fries:

Let's do it. Yeah. Definitely.  

[01:28:37] Jesse Fries:

Like, roving presidential library, you know. Yeah.   We'll have the auto pen in there, you know.  

[01:28:47] Jamon Fries:

Yeah. The auto pen can can sign can can give everybody Biden's autograph.  

[01:28:52] Jesse Fries:

Exactly.   It's perfect. It is perfect. And with that, we'd like to thank you for joining us for episode 62 of the Mindless Meanderings.   I'm Jesse Fries. And I'm Jamin Fries,   and we will see you on Thursday.
