Hello, everybody. It is, September 11, and we are live with episode 61 of the mindless meanderings. And I'm Jesse Fries, and I'm still in shock after, the Charlie Kirk death yesterday. So
[00:00:34] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. And I'm Jamin Fries, and likewise. There yeah. It's definitely a a very, very tragic thing.
[00:00:45] Jesse Fries:
It is. It is. It's and then the left's response has been Oh, yeah. It's been yeah. Yeah. I I I just can't. It's and and then the leaders are going, oh, let's goombayah. Let's get together. It's like, fuck you. You know? It's
[00:01:05] Jamon Fries:
no. No. It They're they're the the the liberal leaders are the ones that have been demonizing the Republicans. They've been calling them Nazis. They've been calling them Hitler esque. They've they've been doing everything they can to turn them into demons in the eyes of the of their people.
[00:01:22] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Exactly. So so Yeah. Fuck no.
[00:01:26] Jamon Fries:
There's no kumbaya moment about this. No. You may not have told him to pull the trigger, but you definitely were fucking involved.
[00:01:36] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. Just and and for free speech. For Christ's sake. This this wasn't this wasn't like a political leader. This wasn't anything. He was just exercising his god given free speech. Yeah. And, yeah. No. It's
[00:01:55] Jamon Fries:
I I No. You know, to to me, the the this kind of you know, I I don't like taking it there, but the same people that that are saying that Putin is the evil of the world Mhmm. Are doing exactly what Putin did. They are the communists, the Putin, the fascists, they only survive by taking out their political enemies.
[00:02:30] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. When they can't win an argument. That that no. That's how that's how communism works. No. I know it's everybody that disagrees with you. Yeah. Yeah. Well You know, and That's the that's the Stalin
[00:02:42] Jamon Fries:
Lenin Yeah. Way of doing it. Yeah. Completely. Yeah. And Mao was The Stalin, Lenin, Mao. I mean Yeah. Yeah.
[00:02:50] Jesse Fries:
No. It it it is what it is. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:02:53] Jamon Fries:
And that's what fascists do. You know, they keep saying that Trump is a fascist. I have yet to see any of the Democrat leaders lined up and shot.
[00:03:02] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Right. What a fascist would do. Yep. Yep. That's exactly what a fascist would do. It's, and the all we see is from the left. It's yeah. I just it it Yeah. It and then you have all these all this vitriol on TikTok and everything like that, people celebrating and everything like that. It's like it it's it's like freaking Hamas celebrating October 7 or, like, the Saudis and whatnot celebrating the nine eleven. Absolutely. You know? It's Absolutely.
[00:03:41] Jamon Fries:
It's You know? There there's one thing that I used to always do that I don't know if I'm gonna be able to anymore.
[00:03:48] Jesse Fries:
Uh-huh.
[00:03:49] Jamon Fries:
I used to always give every liberal the limp the the benefit of the doubt that they still at least had their humanity. Right. Right. I don't know if I can do that anymore. I don't think so. Because of the way they the the response, you know. Not because Charlie Kirk was killed. I mean, that was that was in and of itself. But the response that so many people have been showing Mhmm. I just can't give them that benefit of a doubt anymore.
[00:04:18] Jesse Fries:
No. You really can't. It it's this incident, it's it's broken America as in Yeah. It's ripped it's ripped it. You have the two sides. You have the one celebrating, you have the one mourning. You you know, it's the the this is this is beyond, like, the other death more recently that, kind of really separated a lot of things in America was the George Floyd thing. Yes. And that one was nobody was celebrating that death. No. No. Nobody was. There were some saying, well, he was kinda stupid and things like that. Yeah. And he was on drugs. There were there were some there were some saying that the police officer shouldn't go to jail for it. Right. Right. Right. But But There was nobody celebrating it. No. Yes. This one, people are actually celebrating.
Yeah. You know, it's
[00:05:15] Jamon Fries:
it's disgusting. Getting the shit beat out of them for this out of them for it.
[00:05:19] Jesse Fries:
Did did you see that one on the campus where some guy rolled in? It it was a TikTok, video. This guy there there was a just a candlelight vigil
[00:05:30] Jamon Fries:
at the university. And and this guy it was like, fuck Charlie Kirk and stuff like that. They beat the shit out of him. They beat the shit out of him. You know? It's like,
[00:05:41] Jesse Fries:
holy crap. You know? It's know your place, I think Yeah. For so long, liberals have been able to say and do anything without a reaction without a violent reaction. Yeah. This this could just be the beginning.
[00:06:03] Jamon Fries:
You know? I I've I've seen that in a lot of places where conservatives are saying, you know, this is kind of the they there's there are some conservatives that believe that this is kind of a mass everybody a lot of people think it's a turning point. Mhmm. But there are some that think that this has finally made people making people wake up to the to what their perceived reality is is that this is not just a difference of opinions. This is a war between ideals.
[00:06:38] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. You you you know, it's it's like there's you know, it it's it's like the assassination of, like like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, that sort of thing. You know? It's they they were not politicians. You know? I I I I know you shouldn't even assassinate politicians or anything like that, but, you know Right. Every politician knows that that is part of the game sometimes.
[00:07:09] Jamon Fries:
Yes.
[00:07:11] Jesse Fries:
Not to condone it ever. No. No. Never. But it's it's like every president knows. This this is why we have Secret Service and everything like that. You know? It's, congressmen have been killed. Congresswomen have been killed. You know? It's just but just a guy doing his free speech thing. He was a nice guy from what everybody says. And I've seen his videos. You know? It's like, yeah. He he's a bit religious. He was a bit religious for me, you know, and that's fine. He can view that any which way he wants. But he was always nice about everything. There is not he was. Yeah.
[00:07:51] Jamon Fries:
He was also very civil. He was always very respectful. Yes. He he didn't denigrate ever anyone because of their ideas. He he would he would shut down the idea when he could. Right. Well, in debates. Yes. Yeah. That that's what debate is all about. Yeah. You know, I mean, it's like on, on Fox News on the five, you know, the that one guy that's, that's a liberal that they have that they always have a liberal on the panel, but the the, the black gentleman that's that's on there, he was talking. Yeah. I I don't know if you know. I No. I I I I've never seen it. I don't have cables. Okay. Okay. So he was talking about about this and everything that's happened, and he's he's like, you know, when I was in college, we had a group where conservatives and and liberals would communicate with each other.
Yes. And we would we would go out to, we would go out to dinner from time to time, and it was always an accepted and it was always an accepted rule that if somebody could shut down your argument, you accepted their argument not as a fact but as a true but as a way to learn and strengthen your own argument. Exactly. Exactly. That's what debate is for. It's not to it's not to say I'm right and you're wrong. It's to say this is the this is an area of that I see that your that your ideal is problematic.
[00:09:27] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. So you need to go and you need to look into it and figure out just where the problems are. No. Completely. Because without a good debate, how are you supposed to actually come up with a good plan, you know, without debate? It's impossible. You're gonna have lobbyists writing all your bills. Oh, wait. We do. Yeah. You you you know, it's
[00:09:45] Jamon Fries:
That that's been going on for a long time now. No. I know. I know. You know, it's
[00:09:50] Jesse Fries:
it's truly pathetic. You know? It really is. Yeah. Trying to shut this down. Yeah. Okay. So, you you know, the shooter, what they say that on his bullets he had scribbled or, yeah, I'll use Yeah. There there's there's a TV. I like that. He he scribbles like things about that. Pro trans and, some anti fascist stuff on the bullets. So, yeah, it's and, of course, they've released the picture of the guy and everything like that. So Yep. It's but
[00:10:22] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. I mean, it's I don't know. And, you know, the the thing that I hate about this is that there's so many videos out there right now that have so obviously been edited.
[00:10:34] Jesse Fries:
Right. Right.
[00:10:36] Jamon Fries:
You know, like, I I saw I saw one edited, where they had, like, a bullet hole on the right hand side just above the f on his t shirt, and then suddenly it moved up to his neck. They're saying, like, this was all a stage. So this is he's not really dead. Oh, Jesus Christ. Those people. Or there there's one where they edited somebody in in behind him Mhmm. Doing, did you ever have you ever watched the third base coach how, you know, they'll, like, tap their arms, slide their arm down there, slide their hand down there, right down their arm to symbol to tell people to bunt or to steal or to do something like that? Completely. Yep. They they they put somebody in behind Charlie Kirk doing that right before the shots. Where if you look at any video with Charlie Kirk, it when he's doing these things, there is never anybody standing behind him. Yeah. Yeah. No. It I mean, so many so many they're they're starting to to throw out cut you know, stuff like, you know, he he rubbed his nose that was signaling the shooter to shoot, stuff like that. And I'm like, oh my fucking god.
[00:11:51] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. These people can't they they just can't help it. You know? It's No. They can't. It's like there was a what? There was this Fox interview, where the guy is talking about what they're doing to try to find this guy and everything like that. And he said, foreign intelligence. Right? Yeah. Well, so some people have been taking that to mean that it was a foreign actor that did it, you know, that killed him. You know? And, of course, they wanna point it at, like, Israel because that's what everybody wants to do. A great actor would have absolutely no reason to do anything into Charlie Kirk. I know. But what's funny is that see, the thing is is foreign intelligence, we have you ever heard of, like, five eyes and everything like that?
[00:12:37] Jamon Fries:
I've heard the term. I have no idea what it is, though. Well, it's,
[00:12:43] Jesse Fries:
it's basically all the English speaking countries. So Yeah. Us, Canada Yep. Australia, UK, New Zealand, or something like that. We share intelligence back and forth. Right? Right. It's never been explained this way, but I've always thought that, like, the Brits will spy on on us, on the citizens of The United States Oh, yeah. And we'll spy on theirs, and then they'll switch back and forth. They'll trade the information back to The United States, back to The UK. I'm actually I'm actually
[00:13:16] Jamon Fries:
that that's that makes me remember where I heard it from. I actually did hear I I actually read a article about that with that same basic princess that that the reason that we're in this group is because we spy on each other's citizens, and we tell the the home country what their citizens are doing. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Since our since our intelligence agencies can't operate in The US, we, of course, bring other let other intelligence agencies come in and do it for us.
[00:13:47] Jesse Fries:
Exactly. Yeah. And I think that that's probably the foreign intelligence that they were talking about. You know? Probably. Yeah. Foreign intelligence that's spying on The United States that's letting, our people know, what's going on in, The United States. So Yeah. Absolutely. Not that I like that they're doing that, but, you know, it's,
[00:14:08] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. You know, I mean, they'll do anything they can to get around those little rules and laws and problems and stuff. They will. They will. And so yeah. No. All the conspiracy theories, all this, all that, you know, it's just Oh, yeah. Yeah.
[00:14:24] Jesse Fries:
How about we just wait till they find the guy and then we can
[00:14:27] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. I mean, the you know, is it the the problem that I have with all of this, you know, I I know I love a good conspiracy theory. Right. But when it comes out the same day that something happened, that's not a conspiracy theory. That's just a fucking nut job out there just saying anything they wanna say. Yeah. It really is. It really is. A true conspiracy doesn't start until information starts coming out from, you know, the until, you know, like,
[00:15:00] Jesse Fries:
weeks, months, sometimes Oh, yeah. Yeah. Years later. Like Tower 7. You know? Yeah. Yeah. It's it's That's a conspiracy there because, well Yes. I do wonder why it did collapse. That that it is kinda funny that it did. Did. But I you know. Yep.
[00:15:18] Jamon Fries:
But, yeah, so, you know, the for for people to start coming out with conspiracy theory shit right now when they're obviously editing the video to make it look so to make it look suspicious, that that's just
[00:15:31] Jesse Fries:
so much fucking BS. No. Yeah. It really is. It really is. It's I just feel sorry. I truly feel sorry for the wife and kids. They looked like a very beautiful family, and now Mhmm. They've been torn asunder. Yep. I can't even imagine. You know? And No. You you know, it's this is, like, for anybody, even, like, us, you know, where nobody listens or anything like that. Right. If you talk conservative, apparently, you could have you could have a target on you. Yeah. You you know, that is it's horrible. You know? I think It it it is just for free speech, you know, for Christ's sakes. That's The United States. We believe in it 100%. If you don't Yeah.
Get out. Plain and simple. You can go to I can't even read more. Yeah. And then, did you did you hear, did you see that one where, Boebert in the in Congress asked for a moment of silence? Yeah. That's the idea. Democrats were just saying, no. We're screaming no and every it's like, are you kidding me?
[00:16:49] Jamon Fries:
You know, it's Some of those same Democrats are the ones that that are saying, you know, this is this was a horrible thing. It should never have happened and stuff like that. We we need to calm down our rhetoric. You mean your rhetoric? Yeah. We we need to call you know, why is it that anytime someone on the conservative side has something happened to them? The liberals are always saying we need to calm down our rhetoric and yet the next day, they're still out there talking about the Hitler, Trump, and Yes. Yes. All this other bullshit. Yep. It was like, you conservatives, you need to tone down your rhetoric so we don't have a reason to kill you. No. Yeah. It it's like on, That's what they're saying.
[00:17:26] Jesse Fries:
It really is. It really is. It's like, mind your mouth, you know, otherwise, I'll hit you again. You you you know? Exactly. They're abusive father is what they are. You know? It's,
[00:17:37] Jamon Fries:
it it Yeah. I couldn't agree more.
[00:17:40] Jesse Fries:
I saw, there's a clip from ABC morning show today where the black the good looking black guy on the shore because he is good looking. I I'm just saying. I am not that way, but just objectively, he is. But anyways, he was McCarthy was on there. Right? The former, speaker of the house. Okay. And this guy goes, well, the Republicans need to know tap down their, rhetoric and everything. It's it's like Republicans. It's like he goes, do the Republicans have to look in on themselves? It's like, why would they, dude? The there's McCarthy was a politician and everything like that. He goes, oh, it's America. America needs to do this. You know? It's like, no. The Democrats need to do this. Play it simple.
You know? It it's they're the ones that are the violent ones. It's,
[00:18:38] Jamon Fries:
yeah. They're the ones that are militant. No one else? Yes. Well, I mean, I shouldn't say no one else, but Well, of course. Of course. There are. You know? Yeah. There are there are there are on the right hand side, there are some, you know, those, militant groups and stuff like that. But Mhmm. Those militant groups aren't out there killing people.
[00:18:59] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yeah.
[00:19:03] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:19:06] Jesse Fries:
It's yeah. It's rough. I it's hard for me to think about anything else, really. But, Yeah. But do you have anything else to say on that, or should we actually get to other stories? Because there's other things out there. I think it's I think it's time to get to some other stories. There's
[00:19:23] Jamon Fries:
everything else has already been said by too many by so many other people.
[00:19:28] Jesse Fries:
Yep. And probably much more eloquently than we'd Oh, yeah. Definitely. Ever say. So but, yeah, just just, he's in my thoughts. He's in if I prayed, he'd be in my prayers. Yeah. You you you know, it's just it's yeah. That whole family. Yep. Let's see here. So a judge blocked Trump from removing, the Fed governor Cook, Lisa Cook, the one that did the mortgage or supposedly Of course. They allegedly did the mortgage fraud. I think this will get bumped up, to the Supreme Court and then or even just an appeals court. Yep. And they will just say, okay. Well, the Supreme Court decided on this type of thing already. So Yeah. Yep. Out. You know? So Mhmm. I don't think that's gonna last long.
No. No. And then the Supreme Court, just while the case goes through, has allowed Trump to pause, like, billions of dollars in foreign aid. So Thank god. Yeah. Yeah. You you you know, it's I was thinking about that, when I actually was thinking before the Charlie Kirk thing. Yeah. You know? But, you know, it I've never heard this argument for this, but this is foreign this is foreign aid. Right?
[00:20:53] Jamon Fries:
Right. And
[00:20:55] Jesse Fries:
whether or not Congress actually doles it out, who's actually in charge of foreign policy?
[00:21:03] Jamon Fries:
That would be the president.
[00:21:06] Jesse Fries:
And who can pick and choose what actually happens there?
[00:21:11] Jamon Fries:
That would be the president. Yeah. So even if it's been purely executive branch. Yeah. So
[00:21:18] Jesse Fries:
whether or not Congress said give this money away, that technically I I'm not sure if that would actually count as being in their purview. You know?
[00:21:32] Jamon Fries:
I I I I don't think it does. In fact, I don't think any spending is really in their purview except unless they do a line item. This money has to be spent on this type of thing, but no budget that they've ever passed has done that. I mean, considering, well, they haven't actually passed the budget in how long now. It's always just continuing resolutions. Right. Right. But to to me, if the if the government says, okay. This is how much do you money you have available to spend, that means that it can be spent however the executive branch wants that department to spend the money. Mhmm.
It doesn't mean that they have to follow the everything that the previous administrator shouldn't want them to do with the money. Right. Right. I mean, there's a reason that we have elections, and that's because you may not like what the previous president was doing. No. Exactly. Exactly.
[00:22:33] Jesse Fries:
Or whoever was actually running the country at the time. Well, yeah. Yeah.
[00:22:38] Jamon Fries:
Whoever was actually the one signing the checks, you know. Exactly. Telling telling them where to spend the money. Whoever was using that all the time. We reelect we reelect people because we don't like what they were doing. Uh-huh. Yep. Yep.
[00:22:52] Jesse Fries:
Exactly.
[00:22:53] Jamon Fries:
You know, I mean, that that's the entire reason why Trump won this time is because there was so much shit that people saw that they didn't like how it was going. And so that to now say, well, we have to continue doing that even anyways, that's all bullshit.
[00:23:08] Jesse Fries:
Yep. Yep. And then also the Supreme Court, is allowing Trump to continue the Rovian ice patrols Yes. Yes. In California. So, you know, it's, yeah, the Democrats sure don't like that or anything like that. But, you know, I think this also falls under the whole 100 mile thing, you know. I'm not sure if it was argued or anything like that. But, you know, I think it falls underneath that. So Yeah.
[00:23:37] Jamon Fries:
If it wasn't argued, it damn well should have because that's a really good argument.
[00:23:42] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yep. Yep. And, they also said that you can actually use profiling to actually get these people. So, you know, as long as it's not the only reason for arrest. You know? You can't ask them if you if you can't prove it. But you can go and you can quest, you know? Yeah. Exactly. It's like, okay. Let me see. So
[00:24:09] Jamon Fries:
most illegal immigrants work in construction sometimes or they work in the farming industry. Mhmm. So let's go to Wall Street and, you know, see if we can find the illegals there. There might be one or two, but, you know There might be, but, I mean, you're you're gonna have a much better turnout if you go to the farms in California.
[00:24:34] Jesse Fries:
No. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Yep. Or a restaurant here, you know, it's Yeah. Yeah. You you go to the dishwashers
[00:24:42] Jamon Fries:
and everything else like that, you know. A lot of those people, not all of them, but a lot of them may not be here legally. Oh, yeah. Yep. And and so to to to say you can't go to those areas to look for illegals, I mean, my god. It's obvious that you don't want them to find any illegals, but come on now.
[00:25:04] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yeah.
[00:25:09] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. And then in the, tariff news so supposedly, you know, everybody was predicting that wholesale prices on goods was gonna start skyrocketing because of tariffs. Right. Right. It actually dropped by one per by point 1%. That is awesome. Okay. Wholesale wholesale cost dropped after tariffs have started.
[00:25:37] Jesse Fries:
That's interesting. That is interesting. So Yeah. Well, it looks like they've over year over year,
[00:25:48] Jamon Fries:
it they did climb, but not Yeah. Well, I mean, they they have been they have been steadily climbing year after year over year. I mean, that's that's in fact that's one of the that's one of the indicators of inflation that they always look at. Yeah. But it's a fact that it's dropped now.
[00:26:04] Jesse Fries:
It is That is funny. Yeah. Yeah. That is odd. That is odd. Yeah. Mhmm. I I I know the Wall Street really liked, the report. So Yes. Yes. They did. Yeah. This Dow jumped at the very beginning. So, yeah, it's Yep. Of the day. Yep. Yep. Let's see here. So did you hear about the Texas A and M where there was Yes. I did. Yeah. So this girl, she was, like, kicked out of a class because she didn't because there's a it was a children's lit class. Okay. And, they were talking about gender and trans and everything like that in this children's lit class and about how books should do that. This lady's this girl's going, no. This is wrong and everything like that. She, the teacher kicked her out of the class.
And now the teacher's been fired because of it. So
[00:27:06] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. If if I remember right, the the question that she asked is, isn't it illegal to be talking about this stuff now because of the executive order that Trump had signed or something like that? No. Not not Trump. It was, our governor here.
[00:27:23] Jesse Fries:
Oh, okay. Okay. Yep. Yeah. And it was because of him that she was fired, that the teacher was fired, because it's it's that whole policy and everything like that. Yeah.
[00:27:33] Jamon Fries:
So I I I didn't think I I they had said, you know, executive order, so I I just went immediately went to Trump. No. Yeah. I was like, I don't remember Trump signing anything like that. I didn't know that the Texas governor had. Oh, yeah. Our Texas governor, he did that.
[00:27:50] Jesse Fries:
He he he he's taken a cue from Trump. And Yep. Space. And it was like, oh, we're doing stuff here. Just like, Yeah. In Houston, there is this, imam or something like that. He was going around to, shops and everything like that, and I think these shops were owned by Muslims. Okay. But he was going around to them and telling them that they cannot sell pork, alcohol, or and other haram stuff. Haram means forbidden. Yeah. And so he was going around doing that crap. Right? Telling No. Telling Muslims that they can't sell pork and everything like that. And basically, he's saying, you if you do, you know, you you're gonna be in trouble and everything like that. And so our governor, he just goes, nope. You can't do that. He he basically banned Sharia law in Texas. He goes, no. You can't have Sharia law here. This is Texas, for God's sakes. You know? It's, yeah.
Yeah. It's, good. I Good for him. Yeah. No. Any religious law. You know? I just Yeah. I don't care, like, what religion it is. No. Even Christianity, if it's not, like, a actual law
[00:29:02] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. No. Get rid of it. If it hasn't been codified into the laws of The United States, then there is no there's then it's not a law. No. Exactly.
[00:29:12] Jesse Fries:
Exactly. And Sharia does not belong here. It just doesn't. Yeah. You know, you can you can abide by it in your own faith. Yes. Yes. Yes. Which I have no problem with. You can do this. No. Absolutely not. But As long as as long as it's all personal and doesn't affect other people,
[00:29:31] Jamon Fries:
You know, like the the, honor killings and stuff like that,
[00:29:35] Jesse Fries:
that I think is, you know,
[00:29:37] Jamon Fries:
completely out of out of the water. But, no. I mean, as long as if you wanna per if you want to adhere to the Muslim standards of not eating pork and not drinking alcohol and stuff like that, absolutely be by all means, do it for yourself. More power to you. And if you're a business owner, you can not sell those things. And you can choose to sell those things. Yes. Yep. Yep. But but if you choose to sell those things, then no one should come to you ordering you not to sell them because it's a Rob. Yeah. It's it's it's it's like,
[00:30:12] Jesse Fries:
okay. So you own a convenience store, and you're not gonna have alcohol. Yeah. Are you gonna be a convenience store for much longer? I'm just you know? Oh, god.
[00:30:24] Jamon Fries:
Not know how to places.
[00:30:27] Jesse Fries:
You want that quick beer pickup, you know, that that that's the so yeah. And as a business owner, you go, I'm not gonna touch it, but, you know, you you can. You know? It's a yep.
[00:30:41] Jamon Fries:
Yep. Mhmm. Let's see. A little bit in the climate news. Yeah. Now, this story, we have to once again remind everyone that not all studies are accurate. There have been there have been studies that show there there was a study that showed that studies are wrong sometimes. There was a study done. A lot of time. Well, yeah. A lot of time. And I I personally would believe that this is one of those. Okay. Okay. So there was a study done that links severe heat waves to pollution for major fossil fuel producers.
[00:31:19] Jesse Fries:
Okay.
[00:31:21] Jamon Fries:
How They went around and they took examples that says they they let me the nature study examined all of the heat waves in the database from 2000 to to 2023 except for a few that weren't suitable for their analysis. Now if these few weren't suitable for analysis, it was is it because they didn't give the result that these people wanted? Or was there something else about it? Was it, like, not hot enough or something like that? But yeah. So so the as soon as you read that that they left out some of the examples because it didn't fit their analysis Mhmm. You know it's bull it's a bullshit study anyways.
[00:32:08] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
[00:32:11] Jamon Fries:
But what their what the results of their study was is that global warming made all 213 of the heat waves examined more likely. Out of those 55 were out of out of those 213, 55 were 10,000 times more likely to have happened than they would have been before industrialization began accelerated in the eighteen hundreds. How the fuck can you even try to claim that that might be real?
[00:32:43] Jesse Fries:
I I really don't know. I really don't know. I mean, my god.
[00:32:47] Jamon Fries:
This is a study that tells you, yes, we are making up shit.
[00:32:56] Jesse Fries:
Well, that's what climate,
[00:32:58] Jamon Fries:
climate science is. You know, making sure that you know, that's that's all it is, you know. Yeah. They they completely made up the math for it, and the math is wrong, by the way, because you I mean, it's been mathematically proven that the answers that they say they get is not actually what those that math would give them.
[00:33:18] Jesse Fries:
Uh-huh. But,
[00:33:19] Jamon Fries:
you know, I mean, I mean, this is going all the way back to Algourd era, you know, stuff like that. But the the math hasn't changed since then. Even though it was proven foolish, they didn't change what the the math that they were using. It's just insane.
[00:33:36] Jesse Fries:
It it really is. It really is. It's everybody on the left is insane. I swear to God. I just Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. Speaking of climate change and everything like that, there's this, basically, you know, there's all these people that want to actually, this is another study, by the way. So, of course, you know, the study might Garth. Yeah. It could be all wrong and everything like that. But, basically, you know, all these scientists that wanna, like, curb climate change by introducing things, like, into the environment and everything like that. You know, like cloud seeding, things like that. You know? So Yeah. Basically, this study just shows that it says, well, many of those are gonna cause more harm, unintended harm than they would actually do. You know? It it's like, some some of the ideas were, like, let's see. Putting glass beads, like or iron in the polar equal ecosystem.
So iron and glass beats. It's Why? I I have no clue. But it could disrupt the food web, you know, iron and everything. Yeah. Absolutely. It could. Yeah. Yeah. No. I don't know why. It's it's just one of the examples that they had. But, you know, it's yeah. No. They're trying to, like, spraying particles to block the sun. You know? It's, like, things like that. You know? It's Yeah. I'm not sure how many people actually remember it, but Highlander two, you know. It was the it was the whole thing, you know. The Oh, yeah. They had to cover the sky in something because, otherwise, it was gonna whatever. Because the the ozone I think it was because of the ozone hole too.
Yeah. Remember that hole scare us? Yes. Yes. But yeah. It's Just just like UCFC,
[00:35:28] Jamon Fries:
it's because it destroys the ozone layer.
[00:35:31] Jesse Fries:
No. You you know, it's there's still a hole there. But, apparently, no. It's they say that that stopping the CFCs helped, But I I then I see people saying, no. It would have been fine either way. So I I really don't know. Right. Yeah. Exactly. You you know, it's just like everything else. There's two sides to everything. Every somebody's gonna argue on the other side no matter what. It's, yep. And they're all scientists. It's funny. You know, it's like, okay. Well, which scientist do you believe? You know, it's,
[00:36:05] Jamon Fries:
Well, yeah. And that's the that to me, a lot of them aren't actually scientists. No. They may have gotten a science degree. But you be you you are a scientist when you are interested in learning the truth about something, and so you keep studying it and keep studying it and learning more and more about it. Whereas most of them are like, well, no. We know that this is the way it is. So, you know, it's set science. There is no fucking things to set science.
[00:36:42] Jesse Fries:
Well, yeah. No. No. Science is the whole part of it is to argue with, is to say to find a hole in it. So, like, if I don't understand, you know. To find more information, to to get a better understanding. Absolutely. Yep. Yep. And not to to to me, it's especially with the climate thing, it's like they've the scientists, they go, oh, this is happening. And then they go, well, I know why. But they don't know why. Yeah. No. They they have no idea. The climate is way too complex to where they can't even model it correctly. You you know? It's it's the old adage of going, they can't even predict what's gonna happen tomorrow accurately.
How how can they predict anything else? You know? It's, if you can't get one day right or two days, right, well, how
[00:37:28] Jamon Fries:
you know, so If if you can't predict the rain
[00:37:32] Jesse Fries:
Uh-huh. How the hell are you going to be able to predict what's gonna happen twenty years from now? Yeah. Yeah. It's like I I I've known instances of they're gonna say it's a 100% chance of rain, and it doesn't rain. Or there's 0% chance of rain, and then all of a sudden, it just the sky just opens up above you. You you go Yep. Well, that wasn't supposed to happen.
[00:37:53] Jamon Fries:
You know? Well, yeah. I mean, it's you you can you can see it just by watching, as I've I've been very interested in weather lately. Uh-huh. Like, the last few years, I'm I'm constantly watching, like, tornado chasers and stuff like that. It's just really gotten kind of something I've become something I'm interested in. But, it's amazing how, you know, they'll have this model for for what the weather was for what they think the weather is gonna do. Then, you know, a week out, they're showing this model. The next day, the model has changed a little bit. The next day, it's changed significantly. The next day, it's completely different.
Mhmm. And then the next day, it's back to what it originally was. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, I'd I I've always I've always wondered, you know, for a long time when I was growing up, I always wondered, what what do they mean when they say there's a 30% chance of rain? Mhmm. Does that mean that it's, like, a 30% chance that it's gonna hit my area or, you know, what? But, no, it's just that in their in the thousand models that they run through, 30% of the time, it says it it's gonna raid.
[00:39:11] Jesse Fries:
Well, actually, did you know it's that's exactly the same thing that happens with DNA tests, like your ancestry stuff? Yeah. It doesn't actually mean you're, like, one percent of this. It it's it's means that you're you have a there's a 1% chance that you could be that. Yeah. That's what it means. You you know, it's it doesn't actually mean that you're 1% that at all. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Absolutely. It's, like, there's a 50% chance that you're German. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a but then there's a 50% chance that you're not. So, you know, it's a yeah. It it's I think that's how it is with most, like, of these sciences. You know? I think that's usually what they mean by Yep.
Those numbers, 50%, 100% lose that. You know? It's a and they only do a 100% chance, like, for rain. They they they never give you that for, like, DNA. Yeah. At most, that's, like, 99.9. You know? It's a Yep.
[00:40:13] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. It yeah. It's just yeah. The so I mean, you know, just it did baffled my mind that it that it wasn't like, okay. So there's a 30% chance it's gonna rain here where I am. Mhmm. Or, you know, more more likely, it would be where they are since, you know, they're the ones reporting it. Right. Right. But now it's just there's a 30% chance that somewhere in the viewing area, there's gonna be rain. And that's because 30% of the models that we ran said that there was gonna be rain, which means that 70% said that there wasn't gonna be rain. Uh-huh. Yep. Exactly. And yet almost all the time when it's like a really low percentage, 10%, 15%, there's rain.
[00:40:59] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. A lot of times it does seem that way, doesn't it? It's
[00:41:02] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. When it's a higher numbers, it's a big thing.
[00:41:07] Jesse Fries:
It is. It is. It is.
[00:41:09] Jamon Fries:
Well, speaking of climate change Yeah. There was one time okay. Go ahead. No. No. You I was good. I was yeah. A different story. There there was one time they said that there was a 100% chance of rain. I looked up, and nope. It's not raining. That's funny. That's funny. There was like a few little storm clouds in the entire viewing area. Uh-huh. Yep.
[00:41:31] Jesse Fries:
Let's see here. So to keep on climate kinda sorted, not really anymore, actually. So the whole, Greta Thunberg, boat incident. So if you guys haven't heard, basically, her boat was off of Tunis, Tunisia. Tunisia. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There there's a city called Tunis, that they were out of. Okay. And so, basically, a fire happened on the boat. Right? And Mhmm. All the rep all the first reports and everything like that came from, Greta Thunberg's boat people, you know, captain and everything like that. And they Okay. Said they were hit by a drone, which caused a fire.
So k. Yeah. Yeah. And it was like it was it was like a military drone or something like that. This is what they were saying. Right? Yeah. And then a police report came out, and the police report said there's no drone. It a fire just started. It just happened in the road, say a fire started. That's what happened. You know? That that's and then another video comes out, and it shows, a streaking flaming ball landing on the boat coming from the sky. Right? And people are going, oh, yeah. That was probably dropped by a a drone or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. They they were saying like a Molotov cocktail, you know, was dropped or something like that.
No. This is what they were saying. And now the latest flare. Yeah. That they shot themselves.
[00:43:07] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. They shot the flare up into the air, miscalculated, and dropped back on their ship.
[00:43:14] Jesse Fries:
Yep. Yep. But they were they there's so much, oh, debut Israel for attacking us.
[00:43:20] Jamon Fries:
I was everything like that. It was, like, like, a I would be willing to bet, actually, that they calculated it to land on their ship so that they could say that they were attacked.
[00:43:30] Jesse Fries:
Possibly so. Possibly so. Or it's like a past them. You know, it could be that some the dumb shit that shot it off, you know, and the guy that was right there, they they probably looked at each other going, shit. What are we gonna tell Toomberg? What are we gonna tell Toomberg? You know? Oh, well, we'll tell her it was a drone. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:43:52] Jamon Fries:
So you know, she might not have actually know what what it was. Yeah. It's possible. It's possible. But no. I mean, as soon as I saw the video of it dropping, I'm like, that's a flare. I I've never seen a flare in real life. I've never personally seen one, but I've seen enough videos to know that's a flare.
[00:44:12] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. So that that that that was a sequence of events as I know it for this story. That's hilarious. Yeah. The guy shooting off the floor. Let's just come on, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. So there's that. You know, she's not in climate change now anymore, so we don't have to hear about that. No. No. It's all about Palestine now. Yeah. All about the Palestinians. Yeah. So yep. Yep. Let's see here. Okay. What other stories do I got? Oh, so The UK, since we're kind of an international here Mhmm. The UK, this guy so have you have you known did have you ever heard, like, a Brit call somebody a Muppet?
I have never heard the term. No. Okay. It it's like a you're an idiot. You know? Yeah. That sort of thing. You you know? Okay. And so this one guy, it he was arguing with another guy, and he called the guy a muppet. It's a very it's like, cunt. Except in Britain, when you say cunt, it's it is really more of a just like a good natured ribbing. You know? It's Okay. It doesn't mean anything. You know? To to them, it's not it's not It's not derogatory. It's not derogatory. They they it's just what they call they call everybody. Yeah. You know? They call their own sons this. They call their moms this. You know? The the it's what they Oh, okay. Their their fathers this. This. They they they just go, oh, you're a cheeky cunt. You know? Things like that. It's just it's how they use it. You know, Muppet, it is more of a, like, a, it's More of a diss? Yeah. It's a diss. It is completely a diss.
And but this guy got gets arrested for it because of this new law to because whoever he called a Muppet, they felt hurt by it. And so because of that, it because the law says, if you use a word that somebody else feels badly about, you can be arrested.
[00:46:26] Jamon Fries:
Oh my god.
[00:46:28] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so I'm just imagining, you know, I go over there and somebody calls me a cunt. I can have him thrown in jail. Yeah. Absolutely.
[00:46:40] Jamon Fries:
You got offended by it. Yeah. Exactly.
[00:46:44] Jesse Fries:
Exactly. See? Did did they actually think this law through? It doesn't seem like they really did.
[00:46:51] Jamon Fries:
You know, they probably did. But See see see the the thing is is that this is one of those laws that can be to interpret it however you want it to be. If you're if you're a group that they feel has the right to be offended, then they won't prosecute. If you're a group that shouldn't be offended, then they will. Yeah. No. No. You know, it means everybody can be thrown in jail. It's just what it means. But this is one this is one of those laws that was written so that they could throw someone in jail for nothing. Mhmm.
I mean, pure and simple. It it's yeah. The the I firmly believe that that's probably why that law is in the books.
[00:47:33] Jesse Fries:
I I would bet so. I would bet it's it's stupid. It's it's this new law that they that basically also goes after, Americans and everything like that. So it's it's like a worldwide thing. So if you say anything worldwide and somebody over in The UK hates it,
[00:47:48] Jamon Fries:
you step foot in there. Better not go to The UK because you're gonna go you're gonna be in jail. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:47:54] Jesse Fries:
I may be in. I may end up there. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:48:00] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. Just tell everybody you're gonna be in be in The UK, like, five weeks after you're actually there. Yeah. Right? Exactly. Exactly. That way you get out of there before they find you.
[00:48:13] Jesse Fries:
Yep. Yep. But along with that whole thing, you know, get them overdoing protests and everything like that, arresting and everybody like that. Mhmm. Bansky. You know Bansky? I know the name. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he he he's a he he's a he's an artist that does graffiti. He's a graffiti artist. Right. Right. His stuff is famous. People tear out the walls and sell the walls so you can have his original work. Oh, damn. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:48:44] Jamon Fries:
So vandalism on top of vandalism?
[00:48:47] Jesse Fries:
No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He created a new one on a courthouse, and the image was of a judge with a gavel pounding a protester. Yes. I saw that one. Yes. That's a Banksy. So, you know, it it's and they covered it up so quickly. They they they've already washed it away. They put up a cover so nobody could see it. They they had cops standing in front of it. It's like Yeah. I saw that.
[00:49:16] Jamon Fries:
So,
[00:49:17] Jesse Fries:
you you know, he he's on our side when it comes to freedom of speech at least. You know, it's a yeah. No. It is ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Yeah. I think I'm
[00:49:30] Jamon Fries:
I wanna get, like, a framed big copy of that one because I I like Yeah. It'll be that'd be cool. Well, you you know, I mean, they did have to move fast on it though because if they hadn't gotten rid of it, somebody would have gone and torn the court wall apart. There is a there is a You know, it could be just that they were trying to protect the wall of the court. But, you know. Yeah.
[00:49:51] Jesse Fries:
What what what are the greatest pictures of it is the it shows that, but then somebody's walking right in front of it, and that person is, like, either a barrister or a lawyer. I don't know how their system works over there. I'm not Right. But, yeah, in the wig and everything like that.
[00:50:09] Jamon Fries:
So it's like, oh, that's like a pretty shot, dude. Yeah. That's a good photographer right there. Yep. You gotta love those good photographers that can that can just see that picture that they they see it forming in their minds so that they can take it just at the right exact time. Yep. Yep. Yep. Those are skilled photographers.
[00:50:29] Jesse Fries:
That's what I think. That is what I think. Yeah. Let's see here. On, international news still. So, the city of Hamilton, somewhere in Canada. Mhmm. So this guy has cameras. Right? Like, doorbell cameras, and he has, like, three cameras on his property. Right? Yeah. And with these cameras, the police have been able to from the footage, the police have been able to capture, three murderers, including a serial killer. Damn. And now the city is telling him he has to take him down.
[00:51:03] Jamon Fries:
Wait. What? Why?
[00:51:05] Jesse Fries:
Because it's invading the privacy of the people, apparently, of the murderers, you know. Yeah. You know? K. Because apparently, there's a a statute or something like that where you can only videotape your own property. So if it goes into the street, you can't do that. So Yeah. But
[00:51:29] Jamon Fries:
I I could see, you know, that that if you if you had a camera that was pointed in a direction that it could see inside someone else's house Right. Right. Or over a privacy fence that they've put up or something like that, I could see it immediately with. But when you're in public on the road, you have no street? No. The street is public domain.
[00:51:50] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. You you you don't you don't have a right to privacy in the street. No. It is You know?
[00:51:56] Jamon Fries:
You're in the street people. You know? So it's like It's objectively known that anything you do is going to be seen by anyone around.
[00:52:05] Jesse Fries:
Exactly. Exactly. So yeah. So they wanna remove his cameras. Even though he's helped catch murderers. It it I I it doesn't make sense. The world just doesn't make sense. I mean, Jesus Christ. Serial killers are tough to catch. Right?
[00:52:19] Jamon Fries:
How
[00:52:20] Jesse Fries:
how does the world even make sense anymore? I swear to God, it really doesn't. No. It doesn't. It's, it really doesn't. But then so so you have that, but then you also have the British. They, the British removed their ambassador to The United States. They just yanked him out because he was on the Epstein list. Well, it's not that surprising. I mean, there was a royal on the list too. No. I know I know it's not surprising, but, you know, it's like so they're willing to actually do something good in this case. Yeah. Yeah. So at least at least there's there's some good there, you know, not all of them are pedophiles. You know? So there's not at least, you know. So but, yeah, they just removed them. They go, nope, dude. You're on the list. Perfectly good reason to remove them too. I I think so. I think so. Yeah.
And that's really all I got for, international from what I can tell. Yeah. Well, we're about to get into some business, so let's, quickly let everybody know we are a value for value podcast.

[00:54:26] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. So, I mean, this was one of those stories that before yesterday, I thought that it would be kind of interesting, but I I kept looking at it. I'm like, okay. Do I really wanna keep this in there? I mean, it's like, end of blah. Uh-huh. But, Uber is adding helicopters to their, to their platform now. In New York City and in other some in areas where blades helicopters operate, they are you will have the option of being flown by helicopter, taking a helicopter somewhere through Uber.
[00:55:02] Jesse Fries:
Well, that's kinda cool. Yeah. I thought so. Yeah. It's probably a good way for them to get those, helicopters up in the air so they're not just sitting there. So Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Makes sense. Makes sense. Mhmm. Apparently, Cracker Barrel has completely done a one eighty. So they're not even changing the look of their stores anymore.
[00:55:23] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. They've literally canceled that. About that. Yeah. There there were a lot of people that are like, why are they wasting all their money by not completing the renovations? Uh-huh. Yep. I'm sitting there like, well, because everybody wants the old country store look that every that has always been there that made it popular that allowed it to make its money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it's apparently it's like a The the times that I've eaten at Cracker Barrel, I didn't go there for the restaurant.
[00:55:51] Jesse Fries:
No. Yeah. It's just, like, good it's a good home feel, you know. The the food is Yes. Absolutely. But, you know, that's Yeah.
[00:56:00] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. And then the the food is to to me, the food was always, like, standard diner food, you know? It's No. Yeah. Basically. It's it it is a little bit more homey than Yep. Yep. Than most diners are, but at the same time, the food the the food itself was kind of just a
[00:56:21] Jesse Fries:
a diner slash truck stop feel to me. Yeah. We we have the southern twist. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Biscuits, gravy, things like that. So so even up north, you can get your biscuits and gravy if you want. You know? It's, Speaking of biscuits
[00:56:34] Jamon Fries:
Uh-huh. They they have made a major decision that will probably help them survive a little bit better too. Uh-huh. They are no longer going to be using those frozen biscuits that they Oh, thank god. That they had replaced. You know? The the ones where you could slam it on the table and it wouldn't even dent it. Yeah. Dent the table, but it wouldn't dent the it wouldn't dent the biscuit. They're going back to homemade biscuits now. Well, that's good. That's good. Yeah. So I mean, their their biscuits were always pretty good. You know, that was one of the good things that I liked about them back in the day. But, yeah. So they're they're they're going back to those. So I was pretty happy to hear that. No. Yeah. Completely. That's awesome. That is
[00:57:14] Jesse Fries:
awesome. Yep. Let's see here. Science related. Looks like there was a study. Yeah. Because we know how trustworthy they are. But, you know, there there's all these studies that they they will say, oh, if you eat meat, you're gonna have cancer and blah blah blah. Right? You know, they they they that that's what they say. Now, apparently, this study now finds that meat can actually help prevent cancer deaths. So Really? Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, it's like, people eat what you want. Fuck what the scientists say. It doesn't matter. Just eat whatever you want. You know? Yep. We're we're we're none of us are gonna make it out of this alive. So, you know, it's just eat what you want. You know? Drink it. Drink what you want. Eat what you want.
Mhmm. You know?
[00:58:11] Jamon Fries:
Well, yeah, it's like I I went to I went to see my doctor yesterday for just the annual, and she was asking me about my diet, you know, because I've I've been doing that whole fasting thing for a little while now. Uh-huh. And so she was asking me about, you know, am I getting enough vegetables and stuff like that. And I'm like, no. No. I'm basically zero carb right now. Uh-huh. And she's like, well, how are you getting your nutrients and stuff? I'm like, well, I'm eating organ meats. I'm eating, you know, I eat a lot of eggs. Uh-huh. And that's those all provide a lot of the nutrients that you need anyways, you know. Right. Right. What they bay basically, you can survive completely on meat and organ meats and eggs. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So she was pretty happy about that, but there was one thing I was not expecting to find out. What? My diabetes is gone. Really?
[00:59:13] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Damn, dude. That's awesome.
[00:59:17] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. I am no longer considered diabetic. That is fucking awesome, dude. The fasting and the low carb did exactly what I wanted it to do.
[00:59:27] Jesse Fries:
That is awesome. Congratulations, dude. That is really awesome. Yeah. No. It's yeah. That's a big one. That's a huge one. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:59:38] Jamon Fries:
That is cool. That's cool. Yeah. I I was very surprised.
[00:59:43] Jesse Fries:
No shit. No shit. I would be too. Yeah. I would be too. So, apparently, they found a possible life on or the remains of life on Mars. Yeah. I heard about that. The yeah. The the prehistoric remains. Well, yeah, of microbes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But and they've they'd apparently, NASA didn't they they didn't really believe it. They go Yeah. They thought it was just patterns on the rocks. Right. And so they sent it to, other scientists, like, a year ago, and they go, is there any other explanation for this than microbes?
And the scientists after a year go, no. There's no there's no other explanation that we can actually find. It has to be that. It's You know? It it's like we don't we're not saying it is, but Right. We don't have another explanation for it. So they have found life on Mars or the remains of it. They they have they have found proof that there has that there was at one point in time life on Mars. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But they won't say that because they'll have to, like, bring it back here first. Alright. Yeah. Yeah. So so that it could truly be studied, you know. Yeah. The yeah. So that's
[01:00:56] Jamon Fries:
really fascinating, actually. That is very fascinating. Yeah. Yeah. That there's a I've I've always heard speculation that at some point in time, there was life on Mars. Uh-huh. And, yeah, even one book that I read, it was so hilarious. Just just, I mean, completely out of out of left field from this book. You know, it was a sci fi style book. Uh-huh. They they they they were say in the book, they were saying it was cockroaches were an advanced society on Mars, but they dug too close to the to Mars core and they made it it's like made it cool down. It's like it doesn't support life anymore. And in there there were a few that is that escaped to Earth, but when they got to Earth, they were no longer an intelligent species.
That's hilarious. That was probably the funniest book I've ever read about, you know, life on Mars and stuff like that. I'm just saying. That's hilarious.
[01:01:56] Jesse Fries:
That is hilarious. Yeah. So speaking of hilarious, so, apparently, a pastor somewhere knows when the rapture is coming, when Jesus is coming back. So, you know, we we got that, you know. So Yeah. So prepare yourselves, people. So because apparently, this is happening on September. Oh, damn. That's pretty quick. Of course, it is. You can't have it too far out, you know. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. Rapture is coming, apparently.
[01:02:34] Jamon Fries:
So Yeah.
[01:02:35] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. And always one of these stupid Oh, of course, sir. End of the world. Yeah.
[01:02:42] Jamon Fries:
I mean, you know, we we've been staring at the end of the world since, like, 1995. You know, that's the that's when I remember that the world was supposed to be ended by. I'm sure there were people who thought it was gonna end a lot earlier than that. But Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's
[01:02:57] Jesse Fries:
I think it goes back to forever ago. You know? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Just in, like, the Christian faith, it was, like, by the year January, the world was supposed to be over already. You know? Basically, by the time Jesus died or whatnot, it was supposed to be over. You know? Yeah. It's basically how it is. So yeah. We're we're we're we're all gonna die. You know? And, Yeah. But it probably won't happen on September 23.
[01:03:22] Jamon Fries:
Probably not. Probably not. Probably not.
[01:03:26] Jesse Fries:
And with that, I'd like to thank you for I've got one more. I've got one more. You do? I just want that. Legal. Yes.
[01:03:34] Jamon Fries:
Oh. So apparently apparently, in South Carolina, while it is not okay for a transgender girl to go into the girl's locker room. Uh-huh. The courts have said that until the end of this court hearing, it is okay for a transgender boy to go into the boy's locker room.
[01:03:57] Jesse Fries:
Okay. I can see that. I can see that. But but it's a interesting distinction. Yeah. But it's it's like, okay. It's not like
[01:04:07] Jamon Fries:
some guys will be weirded out, but, you know, it's like Yeah. Yeah. No. Abs absolutely. But I mean, I you know, I mean, quite honestly, high school age, yeah. No. I would have had absolutely no problem with a girl coming into our locker room and changing. Alright. Yeah. You know, it's a You know, I mean, you got a lot more stuff to show than I do. So, yeah, go for it. Yeah. Yeah. That's a yeah. That that that's an interesting distinction. That is an interesting distinction. That's Yeah. Except, yeah, you always hear about the boys going into the girls' locker room. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. And, you know, and I mean, that's in most in most places, that's become something that just absolutely cannot happen anymore.
[01:04:51] Jesse Fries:
Right. Right.
[01:04:52] Jamon Fries:
But for the court to say, no. That's okay. She can keep going into their locker into the boys' locker room. We don't mind that. I just I just found it very amusing that that they're that they would hold that distinction rather than just saying, if you're a natural born girl, you go into the girls locker room. So, you know, it's it's like the whole natural born argument is kind of been thrown out now because if you're a natural born girl, you can still go into the guy's locker room.
[01:05:22] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. That that is interesting. That it's kinda hilarious, really. It's like Yeah. Doesn't make any sense. Don't get me wrong. You know what I mean? It it doesn't seem, to be equal. But No. Okay then. You know, I guess our Supreme Court has spoken.
[01:05:44] Jamon Fries:
Yeah. I mean, it it well well, you know, it's just while the this is for just while the trial is ongoing. But Right. No. I understand. In most cases, while the trial is ongoing, it would have been stopped.
[01:05:57] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Yeah. No. Right now the Supreme Court, they're just giving out, temporary orders and everything like that. Yeah. Generally, just trying to get things moving and everything like that. So Yep.
[01:06:08] Jamon Fries:
Yep. I'm just I'm just surprised with with the Supreme Court that there were that many conservatives that would
[01:06:14] Jesse Fries:
that would say, yeah. She can keep going into their locker room. They're like going, well, that's the girl's choice. You know? It's not like I Yeah. You you know, it's it could be just the whole thing of going. It's like a a boy man going into a girl's locker room is one thing. Because it it's Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's societal, that is just it's always been verboten. You know? A girl going into the boys bathroom, you know, and, you know, you see it happen, and nobody's really good to complain. You know? Nobody's gonna That that is true. That you won't see the uproar. Nobody's gonna call her a pervert or anything like that. Exactly. Exactly. But the other way around, it happens. And I I would say probably justifiably. Oh, yeah. So, you know, it's just and what? A man, he stands, pees, you don't see anything, and you, you know, it's not Yeah. It's completely different and everything like that. Yep. So Yep. Girl what girls do in the bathroom, you know, I don't know. It it's a whole thing of myth and legends, for us men. Yes. Yes.
[01:07:24] Jamon Fries:
The world of mysticism.
[01:07:26] Jesse Fries:
Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And with that, I'd like to thank you for joining us for episode 61 of the Minus Meandering podcast. And, still sad about Charlie Cook. But thank you for, listening to us, and I'm Jesse Fries.
