What's that all about? Where do these people get their time to stew and plan and everything else? Why a church? You know what I mean? Because that. I still believe that they're trying to push the conservative buttons. And that's not what we do. That's not who we are. We don't go out and chew and murder and do burn cities down because we don't get our way. Little spoiled brats that just want everything from. For free. They. They do that. You see them in the supermarket when a little kid is stomping his feet at the checkout counter looking for a candy bar. Mom says no. And he throws a fit until mom gives in. Well, this is exactly the same, except people are dying. They want free. They want somebody else to pay for it. They're basically have no platform to stand on. They probably have some kind of paper that says or some kind of. And a degree and something that's totally useless. And this is all they have. And they're living off somebody else paying them to be a protester. Like it's not even them themselves. They're. They have no thought process to be able to go out and actually form a protest or get a bunch of people together. They're just living off of somebody else and it's affecting the whole country. to Pod pinions where the world's on fire and we show up like it's a backyard barbecue. Politicians roasted, woke trends torched. Common sense. We've got you covered. Hey everybody. Welcome back to Pod pinions. I'm Rich. And I'm Bruce. Another exciting week of stuff to give our POD pinions about. Opinions of pod. Yes. Where do we even start? Yeah. Plethora or plethora? Plethora. Plethora of stuff. Opinions. Bipods. That's right. We had Darren Devano on. Yeah. Retired NYPD on the last episode. Which was great. Yeah. If you haven't seen it, you got to tune in. It was a little. It's a little long. Yeah. Well, that's right. But we didn't time it. You know, we didn't set up timer. We just went for it. Yep. And had a lot of good comments. We did. Yeah. So we want to bring him back again. Yep. Because we have some interesting stuff. I'll just give you a little teaser here. A friend of mine who lives in Las Vegas in a very nice neighborhood and he's got like a six or eight foot wall all the way around his entire property. And last night a. A perp. Perpetrator. Evidently the guy shot at somebody Somewhere during the evening and wound up in my friend's yard. And he's got the whole. He works for a security company. So his entire Property's got like 9 billion cameras on it. Right. He's like overkill. Like every angle, you know, you can see what's going on. And this guy, he's got the. A little mask, you know, like a ski mask kind of deal. And he's like, just walks in and then realizes, oops, security light went on. So he just hops this eight foot wall like it's nothing. And then what was amazing to me, watching a video, it's like they just, it would be like walking, I don't know, down the street. Yeah, it's very weird here. The sirens in the background and everything else, but yeah, very, very weird. Sonny had a cop show up with a dog. The canine unit shows this dog was useless. So we're gonna, we're gonna get Darren back to like go over this video. And my buddy gave us critique. Yeah. He gave us permission to use it. So that'll be coming up soon. Yeah. So thanks, Gary. Yeah. What else is happening? Oh, what isn't happening? So I, I think we're, we're getting into the. You know, you always say I just want something to happen. So there's an indictment on James Comey. So, you know, at least that started. At least it started. I'm not saying it's gonna go where we need it to go, but we'll see. I, I have issues with it because with everything that that guy did, two, two charges is nothing. It's bookkes, so. Or did the statue of limitations run out on that whole. Well, it could be Hillary, because I know, I know it's coming up next. Two. Two days, I think. Right. Supposed to run out, so. But he lied to Congress and. Yeah, that's what they're getting. And you know, I think there's other things that could be looked into besides lying to Congress. Oh, I'm sure, you know, they go there. I hope they really go there. But grand jury, right? I mean, Congress lies every day, don't they? They lie to themselves. True. And us. And so I'm a little bit on the fence about those charges, but hey, whatever, Whatever works, I guess. You know, I'm curious what's going to happen like James Clapper and the rest of these guys. Yeah, Brennan, the rest of them, we'll have to see what happens. Because Trump put out that truth not too long ago about, you know, to Pam Bondi. Hey, basically there's nothing Going on. And of course the lefties are screaming and yelling. Yes. Saying that it's just, he's just paying back. Well done. Right. Yeah. And you know, now they want to. Now they want to slow every, you know, go back to the. Oh, we should talk and all, you know, you shot the guy that talked. He killed him right on all over national tv, basically. Right. It's been. Put it all over the place. So you shot the guy that talks. So I, I think it's time for. To put, put some cuffs on people and let's get our country back to. Out of the communist, socialist, Marxist grip that it's. Speaking of which been under. Adams dropped out of the New York mayor. Oh yeah, that's right. I did read a little blip on that. So it looks like this Mondami guy is gonna win. Well, I mean, we still have, what, a whole month and a half left. Yeah. So a lot can happen. But we'll see, we'll see in New York. I mean, this is up to you. Hey, if they vote the guy in, they deserve it, right? They're gonna deserve what they get. Because there's definitely. New York is. Except for the major cities. I mean, you got all the conservatives in there. New York is conservative except for these pockets of the city. So if you all can't get your stuff together right. And make sure that that doesn't happen, I don't know. I, I'm not hopeful. I did see, though, now that I can't remember the guy's name that's running in Satrelli in Jersey is neck or neck now with the. Well, I was, I was following this over, over the weekend and it seems that the Democrat, Mikey, whatever her name is, and I have something here in our, in our notes. She, she was a midshipman at the Naval Academy in Annapolis and evidently she got caught up in some scandal about cheating, but she will not talk about it. But she wasn't, she couldn't go to her, her graduation. She wasn't in the program for the graduation. Her husband had something to do with it because he was a midshipman there too. And so that's how he jumped up in the. He brought, he was the one who brought it out. Okay, gotcha. So now they're blaming Trump on this for allowing it out. Trump's fault because they went to the, they went to the National Archives. But I'm sorry, but if you're running for office like that stuff should be out there. I don't care if it's good, bad or ugly. Right. And I gotta find my notes. It's just, you know, it's crazy. You want to bury everything, but then you want transparency. I just say transparency, yeah. Be done with it. You know, everybody's human. Everybody makes mistakes, whatever. It just depends on the mistakes you make. And whether you're. What you're doing or going for is redeemable from your mistakes. So now what's funny is Cipriani. Is that his name? I believe that's. I don't know. He's. It starts if I pronounce it right. Anyhow, he. He wants to lower taxes in New Jersey, which are. The taxes are ridiculous. She's not saying a word about the taxes. She's not saying anything really. And then his big one is he wants to bring back plastic bags. And he gets standing ovations whenever he mentions the plastic bags make plastic bags. Great again. Exactly. Well, it's stupid. You go to Jersey. Oh, yeah. For those of you who don't live in the northeast, New Jersey, good old Phil Murphy outlawed plastic bags in stores. So you go to the store, either have to take your own or buy one of those, like, cheesy cloth things, right? Which I hate those because the plastic bags, you take it home, you throw it. We got this little thing in our cabinet. You know, you put them in there and use them for garbage, right. Or whatever. And so Murphy outlawed plastic bags. So I happened to go to a convenience store on my way to a gig to get some Gatorade and a snack, right? So the guy just. I had a pile of stuff on the counter, and the guy just takes my money, gives me my change and ignores me. And I said, could I have a bag? And he goes, no, like, what? He said, well, we don't have any bags. What do you mean you don't have any bags? You're 7 11. What do you mean you don't have any bags? Now what did you get? I had two Gatorade, big Gatorades. Okay. And you know, some snack stuff. Okay. But I mean, it would have fit in the bag. It would have been nice instead of carrying it. But what I'm saying is two big gator braid in plastic containers probably had the snacks in plastic bags, right? Maybe some candy bars in plastic wrappers. You got it. Maybe a pretzel. You know, they have them in there in a plastic. In a plastic container. You're right on it. But no, I couldn't have a plastic bag to carry the plastic out of the store. Even. Even an ice cream with that plastic coated wrapper. You know, and then. Oh, there was. The bags are illegal. Right. So he wants to bring back the plastic bags and people give him standing ovations. But not to, not to digress, but. But speaking of plastic, on the news this morning, this morning we were way ahead of the curve. They were talking about microplastics again. Are they? Yes. Oh yeah, that's going to come out all. And how there was some doctor was talking about how coffee and hot tea are the worst because the machine is heated up now. I just happen to look at the coffee maker here. I mean it's stainless on the outside and there's a couple stainless parts, but most of it is plastic. And where the coffee drips down, that covers plastic. Correct. So it's got a filter. Well, no, this one is pretty much most stainless steel. I don't know what I'm saying. The plastic little pop on thing. That's plastic. So the coffee drips down into it. So they did this whole big thing and they had pie graphs and all kinds of other stuff about what we're ingesting as far as plastics. Yeah. Especially the little cups, you know, goes. Into the Keurig things. Yeah, those are horrible. Yep. Coffee tastes like anyhow. Pardon my mouth. But it's convenience. So it's. And here we go. Styrofoam coffee cup, right? Yeah, coffee and a Styrofoam. Remember all the Styrofoam uproar with McDonald's and Big Mac used to come in that little Styrofoam container. Now it's all wrapped. But because everything else went to plastic, I guess. We'Re killing ourselves with plastic. Oh man, it's everywhere. It's everywhere. I look around everywhere. It's literally just everywhere. You can't get away from it. No, it's just. It's mind numbing. So you sent me this this morning. Bruce sends me stuff. So I'm on X. That's basically what I do in the morning. I'll scroll through, have some coffee and check the accounts. I follow and just normal left wing, watch them scream and yell and complain about everything that they did before. Now that the conservatives are doing now it's all wrong and illegal and you know, unconstitutional and against, you know, trying to destroy their democracy. But even though we're a constitutional republic. So there's a gentleman that he's trying to get followers. So. And his name is David. I'm gonna Kate K H A I T so you can follow him on X. Check him out and what he does. He said for every hundred followers, he goes and exposes another Democrat protester that is out there all the time. So in other words, they go from place to place to place to place. So my follow this one account, it's called Wall Street Apes. And he had posted what David had posted and he followed this one paid protester around and the guy would get in his face, try to block him from talking to people, all this stuff. So he investigated him and you know, these are paid protesters and they can earn anywhere between 80 and $110,000 a year for protesting. Sign me up, I'll do it. Like how does that work? How does that work? You do $110,000, stand outside, yell and scream. There was that. It's on the interwebs. Thank you, Al Gore. Thank you, thank you. You can sign up. It was crowds in a something or other. And you sign up and you get paid. You can pick the places you want to go to. I forget the name of crowds in a second or something like that. So that's not organic. That's not. No, absolutely not. That's orchestrated. And if it becomes violent and if it can be tied into some of this stuff that's going on with antifa and that, it's all the same. It's funded domestic terrorism as far as I'm concerned. Absolutely. Now I'm curious. What. Today we had that church shooting in Michigan. Oh, right, yeah. Where the guy drove through the church and then started shooting people and evidently like two or three people are dead and there's a whole bunch of people injured. Then he set the church on fire and the cops killed him. What's that all about? Where do these people get their time to stew and plan and everything else? Why a church? You know what I mean? All the. Because that I still believe that they're trying to push the conservative buttons. And that's not what we do. That's not who we are. We don't go out and chew and murder and do burn cities down because we don't get our way. Little spoiled brats that just want everything from for free. They, they do that. You see them in the supermarket when a little kid is stomping his feet at the checkout counter looking for a candy bar. Mom says no and he throws a fit until mom gives in. Well, this is exactly the same, except people are dying. They want free. They want somebody else to pay for it. They're basically have no platform to stand on. They probably have some kind of paper that says or some kind of. And a degree and something that's totally useless. And this is all they have. And they're living off somebody else paying them to be a protester. Like it's not even them themselves. They're. They have no thought process to be able to go. Go out and actually form a protest or get a bunch of people together. They're just living off of somebody else and it's affecting the whole country. So. Well, you were telling me too about. And I printed it out. What was it? Friday, the bomber guy. This is local here and I never heard about it. And I got my, you know, I pretty much have my ear to the ground. Yeah, well, it's not out there. They kind of kept it all hush up big time. The only reason I knew about it because I heard the sound. Right, you heard the ba boom. So evidently firearms, explosive materials and circuit boards found in a Jackson Township home. That's a township around here. And this guy, this was on the 25th. He had unlawful possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Multiple law enforcement agencies carried out controlled detonation the same day. FBI, ATF and the state police. And maybe that's what you heard then. From what I heard, I can't confirm, but from what I heard, they detonated. Whatever he had there at the. I don't know whether it was there. Or someplace because according to this thing though, the story I did, because after you said something, I looked at it. But there was an emergency management truck that had passed too. So it was like something was going on. Right. You know. But according to the criminal complaint against James Neodosic, the Pennsylvania State Police responded to a residence on what does matter where in Jackson Township after a caller reported explosions that almost damaged their windows. Now it's either they damaged their windows or they didn't. They probably rattled them really good. So when a troopers found out, took. They took two people into custody on active warrants for drug charges. So now here we have. So I guess it exploded before. That's why. Well, there was no. Well, according to this thing. This is pretty funny actually. When this. So they arrested this. This guy and he had a warrant out for drug offenses too. Meth lab. Surprise. Can you say meth lab? When he asked. When he was asked about the explosions, Neo Dossick told troopers he was igniting hydrogen balloons. Probably. Probably on for TikTok or so you know, his account. Yeah, right. Can you believe hydrogen balloons? Yeah. Okay. Oh my God, the humanity. So they, they got him on the drug fences, then they, they issued a search warrant and that was executed on. On his house later. That night. And they found multiple firearms, including a sawed off shotgun. That's a big bozo. No, no. In ATF world, unless it's 18 and a half inches. Anything shorter than that, you're going to jail. A container of triacetone, something or other oxide labeled by its abbreviation, tatp. They had whiteboards up containing recipes, notes on chemical processes, calculations and formulas, circuit boards, a digital camera and other chemicals. Maybe they were, you know, side bakers for Wonder Bread or something. Sounds like a meth lab to me. And then the best one was a propane tank in the dining room. Had a large dent which appeared to be from blast damage from an explosion. According to the warrant, it was from. The hydrogen balloons blowing up. Oh, is that what it was? Yeah, the plastic. You know, that damn plastic. Or I guess that's rubber, right? So then this guy, Neodisic, he was interviewed September 25th today by FBI and ATF and some trooper. I guess it doesn't matter trooper's name. And during the interview, he said he manufactures super acid with quotes around it. The complaint said he also said he had sulfuric acid in a pill bottle and. And nitric acid in a brown bottle. He said that he dissolves and purifies gold with the hydrogen peroxide. But why would they have. Why would these three guys then be busted on drug charges? We're just standing around blowing up hydrogen balloons. Wow. So you'd think you would just. And this is like, nowhere. Pennsylvania, right? Yeah, but you would think you'd just, like, at least come up with something better than that, right? You would think. So when he was asked about the container that read tatp, he said he made the substance and that he conducted a. Ready for this one? A friction test to see its reaction. He said it worked. Failed, but he didn't like it. But that failed, Right? He said he didn't like it because it was scary. He showed troopers his left little finger, saying he lost most of it. Constructing a pipe bomb. I'm not making. This is out of the Pocono Record newspaper. I am not making this up. You can't make this stuff up. So here. I mean, why would he say that to a state trooper and the FBI and ATF agents? I mean, was. I mean, how stupid can you be? So the state police said they had a successful controlled detonation. That's probably what you heard. Unless you heard the hydrogen balloon. So, yeah. So it was a hazardous device and explosive section of the state police along with atf. Okay, I just think that's really funny. So he's facing second degree felony charges, unlawful possession or manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, third degree felony risking catastrophe and multiple misdemeanor charges. He also faces a second degree felony gun charge. This guy is an idiot. What about his friends? Well, I don't know. It didn't say anything about that. I mean, this is the poking of record we're talking about. We're not exactly talking. Yeah, that's true. Super investigative reporter, but yeah, that just cracked me up, the hydrogen balloon thing. Woo wee. Yeah. Welcome to the Poconos. Move to the Poconos. It's quiet, they said. Yeah, right. Unbelievable. It's just unbelievable. You're scared of deers. That's. That's the New Yorker. No offense, New Yorkers, but deer. No s. What's like anyways. Right. That's another one. Just. That's up there where they seen it. Right. Well, if you have a box marked any and you weigh it, it's anyways. No, there's no S. No. Any way. Yeah, but you're saying you're any weighs 15 pounds. I get it. Sorry. There's a stretch. That's a real stretch. That's up there with hydrogen balloons. Do you know this guy? No, I don't. So what time did you hear this boom? I don't know. It was in the afternoon. It's probably around between 3 and 4. I guess I must have been sleeping through it. Well, we're kind of far away from it here anyhow. That's funny, but that. Yeah, that's. We gotta follow that one because that's a good one. That's a good one. But it's like all this crazy stuff going on all over the country. Yeah, it's nuts. Like that shooting and the Charlie Kirk shooting. I mean, you know, at one time kind of people kept an eye on what was going on around the area and nothing. Not anymore. Everybody's kind of keeping themselves and even don't get involved. Where I live, I live in a private development. Right. Gated. Gated community. The stuff that goes on in there is unbelievable. It's just. It's crazy. And there's nothing we can do about it. Somebody in law enforcement told me one time there's only run one reason to go into a gated community. It's not to keep criminals out, it's to keep the police out. Good point. I don't know whether it's true or not. Never lived with one. I don't know. I'll have to ask some cosplay. That was a comment that Was made years ago. So that makes sense. Yeah, definitely makes sense. All right, so this Michigan shooting, the Charlie Kirk shooting, there was a school shooting the same time Charlie Kirk got shot. Then it was something. Where was that? North Carolina. Somebody on a boat. Oh, yeah. Pulled up. That. Was this today, I guess, wasn't it? Or last night, I guess in the middle of the night or something. Or last night, pulled up to a bar. Yeah, the Waterfront Bar. And shot a bunch of people up, then took off. I don't know if they caught him or not, but that was. It's crazy. Like, what is going on. And people are going nuts and they're blaming Trump. Yeah, yeah. It's all Trump's fault. Yeah. He's sitting there pulling the trigger. Yeah, yeah. It's like a collective crazy going on. Hey, I sit, honest to God, I sit back and I just watch this, and it's like, whoa. Well, who knows? Bobby's working on this. Oh, that's another thing I just brought up. Bobby Kennedy. That's his net. No, no, no. Bobby Kennedy. Kennedy working on the theories on the vaccine stuff. Who knows? Maybe it twisted somebody's. Somebody's people's brain cells. That's what I wanted it. I forgot to print this out, actually. It was a video. I'll send you the video. Or did you send it to me? No. Is it about the Tylenol? No, no, it was the woman. It was a woman doctor. Oh, yes. You sent it to me. I sent it. Did you watch it? Yeah. Okay, so this. We'll have to put a link to it or something. This woman does clinical trials for drug companies. And during the pandemic, she started doing clinical trials on the COVID vaccine and on Covid. And she found that ivermectin worked and hydroxychloroquine. And she got shut down, I mean, big time, by the pharmaceutical industry and the American gastroenterologist, whatever. She's a gastroenterologist and. But we'll have to put a link to it. It was absolutely fascinating. Yeah. Well, when you think about it, if something simple like ivermectin worked, or hydrochloroquine. It's been around forever, right? It's something as simple and as cheap as that worked, then the economy wouldn't have gotten shutting down, all this stuff would have never happened. And I don't know that the election would have went the way it did. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad he waited four years and the country got to see what a disaster going Forward. The Democrat Party had. Had planned for us. But I don't know that. I don't know that some of this wasn't kind of a pandemic instead of a pandemic. You know, you see all these series and stuff. Who knows? But it's starting to make more and more sense. So you just got to pop up on your screen. We're running out of battery, am I right? Yep. It's not the. It's scary. Yeah. Scary time. We're going to have to wrap it up early. Got eight minutes left. Eight minutes left. Yeah, that's what it says. We're 20, 28 minutes here. I don't know whether it's right or not, but we can. We'll wing it. Just keep going until it dies. But so we. We got all this explosive stuff. It's like. It's absolutely unbelievable. And in Chicago, with the ICE raids. Yep. And ICE raids everywhere. This. This. This one really blew me away. An Iowa school superintendent was arrested by ice, and he's facing a prior weapons charge. Allegedly found a loaded handgun in his car when they arrested him. And the guy is elite. Here illegally. His visa expired back in 2020, so he's been here five years, almost six illegally. And he got a job as a school superintendent. How does that work? What was he making, like 300,000 a year? Something stupid. And Ian Andre Roberts, his name. Heading up the Des Moines, Iowa public schools. So, Iowa, Your tax dollars hard at work there. It's just unbelievable. So he came from Guyana and illegally. And then somehow he had a student visa and he got his doctorate. And I just don't understand. Nobody does background checks or anything. I don't know. But he. He was not legally authorized to work in the US after his employment authorization card expired in 2020. Well, I guess. I guess they don't have to have background checks. They have drag shows in kindergarten class, so. Right. So he was. He also worked in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and St. Louis as a. A school board person. It just. You can't find, like, a United States citizen who wants the job. Right. Doesn't matter where they came from. Yeah. I don't care. Doesn't matter what color they are. Just make sure they're illegal. That's all. That's all. That's the. I just that I would be. So I would. I would hence to guess that if he was working, he had some kind of documentation. A Social Security number. Where'd he get that? Something like that. Right. Well, yeah, he was legal, so. But shouldn't have a Social Security number. Unless you're a citizen. You would think. So how does that work, people? He's got to be supposedly paying taxes out of his check. So how does that work? I don't know. And originally, you get all the left scream and. No, you don't. Legals don't have Social Security numbers. Well, yeah, they do. Here it is. Where. Where's it going? It's going into that. That pot fund. That. Right. But there's. There's a classic example, and he's probably one of millions. Mm, sure. But that's one of my beefs, too, is the Social Security number is not supposed to be used for identification purposes. Correct. It was only used for. Originally for your Social Security, then all of a sudden became like your. Your ID number. And when I go to a doctor's office, I refuse to give it to them. What's your social. None of your business. It's not used for. And I. I actually printed out one time, you know, what the actual law states. Right. And here you go. Yep. I'm not giving my social. No. Especially with all the fraud and everything that's going on. Yeah. You go to. There's a supermarket here if you want. They sell beer and wine. And if you go in and buy beer or wine, they actually scan your driver's license. No. Yeah. No, the UPS guy and the FedEx guy, too. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I need to scan your license. No, you don't. You can look at it. You can make sure I'm over 21. But you're not scanning it. Nope. That's just crazy. Yeah. Well, that's. The lists they wanted to slowly implement. Everybody gets a number. I'm. I'm hoping, though, that this gets turned around. Yeah. That would be a congressional thing. I would think they would have to enact another bill. Or. How about we just follow the original Social Security? Yeah. Right. Amazing. Just go back to the. The way the bill was written. Right. Originally, without these provisions and all this. Yeah. Who started this ID thing with the Social Security number? Yeah. I'm not sure where that came from. I'd like to. We should. If anybody knows, put it in the comments because we started. I started looking up to the. Basically the Social Security numbers and that. That fund that's got one over a trillion dollars in from Social Security numbers that are either illegal or dead people. Fake or dead or. Yeah. They can't distribute it to anybody, so. It goes in a big slush fund. Slush fund? Yeah. And they can't do anything with it. Nope. Nope. See I just, I find that hard to believe. But I'm sure they take loans out on it. Look at all this cash we got over here. Sure, that's how they get their federal loans and whatever. I wouldn't doubt it, you know. So then speaking of illegals, I mentioned earlier the Chicago anti ice protesters. So they found explosive devices near their little demonstration and they also arrested people who were demonstrating that had loaded firearms on them. Now how does that work? Doesn't that all these sanctuary cities, aren't they like gun free zones? Yes. Maybe they should find people to come and stay in their sanctuary cities collecting sanctuary. Maybe they should be able to read the signs. It's unbelievable. And then there was a. New Jersey is reacting to the death of Joanne Chesnard. Her actual name is Assada Shakur. She killed a state trooper in New Jersey years ago and then fled to Cuba and stayed there and she just died. So they're sorry for that. Some of them are. It's like they should, they're saying that they should, they should, should bring her body back for a proper burial because she's an American citizen. No, she's a scumbag that killed a cop. Right. You lose all credibility when you flee to a communist country for protection. Now what's interesting is Jack Cittarelli, who's the Republican candidate for governor in Jersey, is outraged and he's really going off about it. Meanwhile, the Democrat is saying nothing. And Phil Murphy all of a sudden is on a band way. Oh, we can't let her body back here. And blah blah, blah, blah, blah. Two faced bastard that he is. But I'm guessing he's lying. Good old plastic Phil, he's just lying. Right, exactly. To score points. That's all he's trying to do is score points. Right. Because he has nothing to stand on. He just, just wants the people to sympathize. Those are his voters. So. But he's done so. Right. But it's still his party and they all stick together. And that's how they get it done is no matter what, you can have somebody burn somebody on the New York City subway and they can still remain mayor and governor and just. It's, it's mind numbing. It's. Yeah, it is. But on a positive note, even though Charlie Kirk is deceased, there was a Penn State football game and they were playing Oregon. That was his favorite team, was the Oregon team. And 5,000 people showed up with white freedom shirts. Nice. And there was a guy, what's his name? Benny Johnson. He organized this event and he gave out 5, 000 shirts. You have to see the pictures of the stadium. It's, it's pretty cool. Yeah. And they all started chanting, usa, usa. Yeah, they, they have no idea. I, you know, you see all kinds of theories on his death and all this stuff and who knows what happened. Eventually we're going to find out. I think there's just too much out there now, as far as, you know, everybody's got a phone, everybody's got a camera, everybody's got some kind of link to social media, posting or whatever. Even if you don't look at it, you have access to it, so. Well, you showed me one earlier or sent it to me. Yeah. And it's like, wait a minute. Yeah. And some of maybe fake, some may be real, but I, I just can't buy anymore. Just the, oh, it's a lone wolf. You know what I mean? I can't. You see all this stuff coming out. You see all the NGOs, you see all the billions and trillions of dollars being handed out filtered back in, letting these protesters make a 80 to $110,000 a year. I'm kind of done with a lone wolf type thing. Oh, I don't buy it at all. Especially, I think it's all connected. I think they're, they're trying to push buttons or trying to get the conservatives to explode and do something unlawful. See, I told you so. Exactly. So as I was saying, or as we were saying, we had a little glitch. I, I really, I know you're attached. I know you love them, but we got to get a new crew. We do. Yeah. These guys suck. Yeah. So we ran out of memory. Yeah. So I had plenty, plenty o time. And apparently it lied. It lied like an electronic device lies. Lied like a Democrat. Yeah, right, exactly. So we were discussing how you don't buy the, the whole lone wolf thing with Charlie Kirk. Well, I, I, and again, I was just saying that I think they're trying to set off conservatives and it's not, it's not some guy sitting in his basement or, you know, planning all this stuff that's going to spark off the, the next revolution or civil war. Civil war or whatever you want to call it. It's a concerted effort to destabilize the United States of America. And wherever they're getting their marching instructions or however they're doing it, everything that they're doing, Churches, Charlie Kirk. Schools, schools, all this stuff, you know, ban guns, all that. Well, you know, that's coming next. The whole Gun ban thing. Well, that's what they're going to try to do. What I would say is if Trump keeps, you know, like antifa making these organizations to make this domestic terrorist organizations put a stop on most of the federal gun laws so that civilians, innocent people can make sure that they're protected. I think you should do an eo, an executive order or something. I don't know if you can do that. Only because the, the second amendment is kind of carved in granite. Well, yeah, there is, but all the laws. Oh, it's ridiculous. That's what I'm saying. It's not the same second Amendment. It's the laws that encompass around the second Amendment that hinders it. Well, we could, we could do like four episodes just on the dumb gun laws. Right. You know, going back to 1934, the National Firearms act, which regulates ready for this Machine guns, short barrel rifles, other destructive weapons, silencers. And it was, it was basically put into practice or put into law because of all the gangsters in Chicago. Right, right. Amazing. With their Tommy guns. Yeah, you know, they're, they're. But, and then there's, we could just go on and on. Yeah, yeah. No, but I'm saying we'll do that in another episode. Don't, don't take my comment here is something that may not be in the wheelhouse of being able to kind of get rid of these gun laws that really don't make sense and kind of hinder just innocent Americans that just want to own a firearm or go to the shooting range or use it for self protection or hunting or whatever. They've successfully taken guns away from most countries and we're kind of like the only one left. And they haven't quite been able to do that. And had they done that, I think you'd see what's happening in England and France and Australia with the governments just taking over the people. I think that would happen here. But we've been, we've managed to be able to. We're lucky so far. Hold on. So far. So getting back to the Charlie Kirk alleged assassin. So there's a, a retired FBI agent and he was a sniper. I don't know if he was a sniper in the FBI or in the army, but he teaches at the university where Charlie Kirk got shot and he's teaching like forensics and, and police investigation. I guess they have a whole department there, just that stuff. And he's kind of scratching his head saying wait a minute, something stinks here because he said the Kid drove like 263 miles from Orem, Utah to where he lived. And he said he had all that time that he could have dumped the gun, you know, because he took all back roads. He could have dumped the gun and nobody would ever have found this thing. Meanwhile, he wraps it up in a towel and leaves it like two blocks away in the woods. Right? That doesn't sound right. Y, yeah. Again, I, I, I think with the Internet the way it is. Thanks Alor. And that's for you too, Darren. The way the Internet is and, and the video footage, like I was saying before, I, I believe there's going to be a lot more scrutiny than ever before. I mean there was a lot of scrutiny with the Butler pa. Yeah. But we never got answers and they. Kind of shut it down now. That is all out there still and it's going to come around like I think it was Elon Musk just posted a, a meme today. It had Trump four times and advance eight times and the first block was 2025. Trump 2020. So, you know, and it had a big arrow said you are here. So we've got some time to make sure that it comes out. But, but I just found it odd that within like two days this, the, the kid, his body was cremated, like within days. Like we really don't know anything about him. Right. We don't know anything about the family. Nobody wanted to know. That's why the whole thing's just bizarre, you know. And the Secret Service dropped the ball big time. So I, and the same thing with this, I mean, I just can't believe. Well, you showed me this video today, you sent it to me early about it was another conspiracy theory and Bruce is the guy. And it, it showed like two, two guys standing be like next to Charlie Kirk and the one guy's got sunglasses on and he's doing all this kind of stuff. It looks like he's a third base coach for baseball, right? Yeah. But if for, so for that angle it looked like he was given a sign or something. But there was, I saw another video was on the opposite side and the guy was like scratching his nose. Okay. So those two guys, I, I believe that's been debunked fully. Well, this one, they were saying it was, it was Charlie Kirk's microphone, the little lavalier microphone was actually the gun and that this guy, you know, happened to touch his shirt and then the thing went off and you know, boom. And here we are. Yeah, the shirt thing definitely was not, I, I believe the video, one of the videos out there was A gentleman holding some kind of look like a phone. And there's. There's different camera angles following all these because there. There's cameras all over the place. Somebody come up, took down the one security camera, looked like he took out the SD card. Another guy jumped over the table, looked like he grabbed something, handed off to another guy. Who knows? Well, then I saw. I told you about. It wasn't in the video you sent me, but it was another one where they were. Oh, no, the actual shooter was over on this building behind this bush. Right. And they show you these pictures that are so grainy, it like makes those Sasquatch pictures, you know, look great. But there was. There's documented now, I believe it's four drones were in the air over that event. So there's got to be footage someplace. There has to be. You know, somebody sees something. And again, you know, everybody's afraid of the. The government. But if that footage is in your possession, that's your property. So they really can't do anything to not let you do what you want with it, basically. Well, on something like that, though, they shouldn't have drones flying around. You would. Well, I. Who knows whose they were. They might have been his. His, for instance. You know what I mean? Just to see the size of the crowd. And just for PR purposes, it doesn't have to be anything nefarious, you know what I mean? So now on top of all that, there's a bunch of school edumacators who have gotten fired over their stupid comments about Charlie Kirk getting whacked. And now they're suing their respective school boards and towns to get their jobs back. It's time for the Department of Education to go away. Exactly. In a teacher's union. But okay, there's the First Amendment, and I'm all for it. However, where do you draw the line? Well, there's. So the First Amendment was originally drafted so that the government could not silence the people. Has nothing to do with people against people. It really doesn't. There's nothing in the First Amendment that says, you know, I have. What the First Amendment is there to protect us from, is the government stopping the people from protesting, etc. Doesn't, you know, we have laws that are out there that are supposed to help weave its way around people's speech so that they can say something. But if you're causing, you know, violence or could be violence or something like that, I mean, that's. That's not freedom of speech. That's terrorism. Exactly. So these. I. I'm sorry, but I feel like this is my  Pod pinion now. Okay. An educator, regardless. If they're a college professor, you know, adjunct faculty, high school teacher, grammar school teacher, kindergarten teacher, day school person. Right. I don't think that they should be spewing their political beliefs regardless, because that's. First of all, that's not what they're there to do. Correct. They're to teach English, math, whatever subject they're supposed to teach, unless it's some kind of political world cultures class. I mean, in high school, we had this European history class and we used to get into these really heated debates with the teachers. But that's the class. That's not the whole school. Right now it's turned into the whole school. Well, this including the school boards. Right. But in this case, these bozos, it was outside of school on their own time, and they put it up on Facebook or whatever social media platform they were using, and it was like some really crass, nasty stuff. Sure. So they lost their jobs over it. But I don't care if you're off the clock or not, you're still a representative of that school. That's my  Pod pinion on that. So I don't think they should get their jobs back. And now they're suing. I wrote something on substack. I don't know why I sent you the link about the. In Pennsylvania. Anyway, the laws and things that are. If you look up  Pod pinions on sub stack and there's only a couple things there, but, you know, we. We got to get a new crew because they're just lazy and don't do anything. So there's only like two things on there. DEI hires, but this one jerk. But by law. Or you talk about npa. Right. Okay. You know, there's a standard that these people are supposed to be holding. And if you go outside that standard and if it can be, even if it's on your own personal time, if there's a link that you're a teacher or you're administrator or somehow that somebody knows or can easily find that you're affiliated with the school as a teacher, you basically have no protection. They can do whatever they want. Oh, they can. The school. They can. Right. Which is a good thing. Right. So, you know, this whole freedom of speech thing. Yes, there is freedom of speech, but it's for the government not to be able to stop us right here. What we're doing right now, coming in and pushing a button that bans us from ever. Well, that happened. That happened to me. On Facebook. I mean, they shut me down during the pandemic, you know, but they blamed that. Huh? They blamed that on Facebook. Well, that's their regulation nonsense. But what happened everywhere. But what happened was what we know now is the Biden administration and these other administrators that were behind the scenes in the Trump administration were putting pressure on Facebook and X and all the other Twitter and X. And so that's how it got to be the way it was. I don't. Yes, but. Yes, but I would put something up and it would get taken down immediately and I'd get a warning. And then a couple times I was put in Facebook jail for like 30 days until they finally like canceled my account on me. They suspended it. Now you can't even find it. I had to start a new one. But a lot of, not all, but a lot of my liberal leaning friends. They say whatever they want. They could say whatever they want. I'd report it just to see what would happen. Nothing. Right. I would get a thing back. We did not take down XYZ's post. You got to be kidding me. He's got pictures of like, you know, a decapitated Trump head. But that's what this world is or this country has turned into. It's a bunch of, as far as I'm concerned, people that have no ability to function within a society. They only have their own thoughts. They're very childish in, in the way they think. They can't think outside the box. They're told what to do. And it's almost like the, the, you know, having a dog. It's, it's, you know, knows where the food is, knows this. So it's going to go to wherever the money's at. They're gonna, you know, if they're, like you said, musicians, you couldn't believe you were conservative. Well, what does that, what does that matter? It shouldn't matter at all. You can play the hell. All right, for example, out of a trumpet this afternoon, I had a. What does that matter? I had a brass quintet gig today. Right. I have no idea what these guys are. Do I care? No, you just want to know if they can play the music. Right? Right. And we had a really good time. And that should be the basis. Nobody should know what the teacher, who they voted for. No, I don't want to know. Algebra, basic math. Nouns, verbs. Here's a good one. And not to shove down everybody's throat the pronouns. Don't get me started on that. All right, so even, even ministers, right. Clergy should not. I Don't want to know what they are. We had a minister, they moved him to another church. Unfortunately, during the pandemic, I had to pull it out of this guy, like, which way he leaned. Right. And I would never tell anybody. Right. But I really had to, like, badger him. So his replacement comes in during the pandemic, and my wife and I were watching a streaming service, his first one, and right out of the box, out of the pulpit, he starts with this whole Black Lives Matter thing. Thing, and George Floyd and all this other crap. And it's like, you know what? Cancel. So then I get a phone call like months later and from him, and he said, well, we haven't seen you at church. I said, and you're not going to. Well, why not? And I told him why in no uncertain terms. And I said, not until you're gone will I come back. And I haven't. Right. And it's not the place to discuss politics and political stuff like that. But even in school. It's the same thing with school. Exactly. I don't want to know. Right. Just educate me. Right, Right. So these, this one guy, he actually got voted out by the school board. They fired him. The school board took a vote and they out. But he was talking about how a. His personal Facebook page while out of school, he said, this is after Charlie Kirk got shot. One Nazi down and on more to go. Right. So he's calling for. What's he calling for? He's calling for violence. Yes. You know, and I, I, I told you this the last episode. It's like I, I was talking with somebody and I, I was explaining how these people really want to see harm done to us. The right. Absolutely. And they didn't believe me. Well, I, again, I believe they think that if enough harm is going to be done, somebody is going to be the lone wolf and start something. And that's not how this works. No, I think it's a collective thing. And no, but I'm saying on the conservative side, that's not how it works. No, not at all. Well, you saw what it would happen with Charlie Kirk. Something happens, you got the whole shebang. There's all. Well, all of a sudden, since that happened, church attendance has gone through the roof. And it should. Right? Should. But that's the thing. It's like all these people, they were taking all his, his quotes out of context. Yes. And you can watch the video, just like Trump with the, with the Charlotte nonsense. And you know, there's good people on both sides or whatever he supposedly. Well, they took it completely out of context. They didn't play. And they pushed it. And they pushed it. And these idiots believe it. Can't put one step in front of front of the other because they've seen it without. Yes, exactly. Without somebody holding their hand. They can't. They. They're. They're just laser focused on whatever somebody thinks they should do, as far as I'm concerned. They're so worried about somebody, whoever it is, seeing them as something other than what they're supposed to be in lockstep with that they just. They're not critical thinkers. They cannot think outside the box. They're just told what to do, and that's all they do. That's it. But who's sending the memo out, is my question. Sometimes you don't have to. You just have to put the signals out there like the. Another Nazi down. That's crazy. I mean, this is crazy, but do. You know how many clips I've seen of. Liberals. Saying that, you know, he called for the elimination basically the black race and he's a Nazi. And it's so. Well, yeah, so it says this one woman who got fired, Suzanne Swire, she was fired as a job as a director of health professional promotion and advocacy at, I don't know where. ACLU's, you know, representing her. Wonderful. So her post on her Facebook thing critiqued his political activism. Charlie Kirk's death is a reflection of the violence, fear, and hatred he sowed. And again, you gotta. You gotta. The guy was like, they have to. Prove that to me. Me, like. Like I said, I'm done. I'm done. You. You have to prove it to me. If not, walk away because you're just an idiot and you're taking up breath around me. That's all. But they believe that. That's their problem, not mine anymore. Well, yeah, but it's killing people. Until we. We open up the mental institutions and put them where they need to be. Yeah. Thank you, Geraldo Rivera. That's. That's my take. I'm done. I'm done. I'm not talk. But unless you got facts, unless you can tell me, unless you can show me the actual video, not the 15 seconds. I'm talking about the two minutes that he was speaking in context. Then just leave, because I have. I. Like I said, you're sucking up air. Around me, but that's where we're at. Yeah. And then these people get crazy. They go out and kill people. Yep. Now, but they're told. They're told to do that. Just by this. Because that guy making $300,000 a year here illegally, he's not going to put his ass on the line. So he's going to put little spits out there, little triggers to get these psychopaths to go out and do it. And that's what they're doing. They're making the money, sending out the signals just like Congress and everybody else. They're not going to do it. Of course not. They're making millions and millions of dollars on $180,000 a year because of insider trading and deals and little back, back door room deals. They're not going to put their ass on the line. So we're going to have these people put their ass on the line and they're just going to scream and yell and lie about it. And that's where we're at. And everybody's starting to see it. That's the problem. Hopefully that's the problem. Everybody's starting to see it. I don't know about that. Well, not everybody. Not I, I can't say everybody. The people who are going to make the difference are starting to see it. And I'm talking about the people that. Like leading in the New York. Let them, Let them. How many millions of people are idiots? Destroy New York? Let them destroy it. Let them. It's, it's, it's probably beyond help right now anyway. True. So let him, let him do what he's going to do. Let the people understand this is what you asked for, this is what you're going to get. But the rest of the country has to be ready to help bail out. Pick up the piece, pick up the. Pieces afterward because that's what it's going to take. That's what it took the last four years of buying Biden in, in office and Harris to destroy everything from the Afghanistan pull out to everything else that people are starting to go, hey, wait a minute, you know, and everybody was so focused on themselves, so focused on their retirement, you know, going on vacation eight times a year, retired 401k. They forgot that their kid is never going to own a house or their grandkids never going to own a house because either one, they're all going to be bought up by these black rocks and Chinese backed government agencies. They're, they're going to be permanently renting something and you know, they're going to be told how much they can spend a week, how much food that they can have and this is what you have to do to earn that. That, that was the plan. That was the plan. And you think Trump threw a wrench in that? Oh, absolutely. He threw a truck into that, not a wrench. But now there's, there's still some rhinos left that, you know, like Lindsey Graham. I can't figure him out at all. I mean, the guy's a drama queen and he flip flops. I mean, it's just unbelievable. Right? So he's got to go. Oh sure, absolutely. But until the people actually see what's happening and know that actually there's people out there that if you don't do what they say, they're going to hunt you down. That's. And that's what happened. That's what happened to Charlie Kirk. Well, he was, he was making too much of a. That's what happened to the people in the school. School shootings. That's what's happened to the recent church shooting today. That's what happened to the boat. Thing is, people are hunting people down for their scares. That scares me though. Yeah, it is scary. You know, I just, you know, around here in this area, the, the crime rate, you cannot convince me that it's gone down. No, it's going up and it's just creepy. Try walking downtown. I remember growing up, we're in Strasbourg. 1718 Strasbourg. Yeah. Yeah. No coming from, not at night. Coming from the rink, going down. Sitting at the pizza house. 12 o' clock in the morning. We weren't starting any trouble. We weren't making any trouble. A buddy of mine and I, we. Were down, can't do that now. Last summer, and we just went out to some restaurant. We're sitting out on the sidewalk having a beer and I mean there were like gangs walking by with the colors and everything. I could not believe it. And the cops are just standing there doing nothing. But there was a police presence at least, right? Yeah. And that's another thing. You know, when the police are. When we, we heard it with Darren. When the police are told, if you do this, this or this, or get out of line, it's going to be you going to jail. Are you reprimanded? So what are they going to do? Nothing. They're just gonna stand there and do nothing. But at least they were there. Yep. And on that note. Yeah, we should wrap it up, I think. What do you think? So I guess the card made it, huh? The new one. So you're gonna see like a little glitch in there. Yeah. Where the, the, the, the machine. Yeah. Just decided to say see ya and we're just gonna be cut off in. Mid sentence, so forgive us. We had a reboot. Yes. It was all good, though. Yeah. We'll see you next time. All right, have a good one. the follow button. This is hard  Podpinions.
