Unrelenting is now elo. And welcome to episode number 99 of unrelenting and I know I'm nine. That means we should have a huge influx of donations for the next show. I would hope so. Massive. Unbelievably big. Huge. I'm Darren O'Neil. Is the individual name any entry? And he's a new snow blower man. We got hit with snow and I got like half the driveway done, but the snow blower was like halfway cracked and bam! How many cars you got? What do you need? More than half through.
There was only one car that regularly leaves, but the wife hit the snow blower in the garage like last year and then never ordered the new part to. Of course, I know. It's like, what do you think? Maybe. Do you wait until the snow is on the ground? I'm just like, Fuck it. I'm not doing the walkway. I mean, it's just too heavy. It's. It's so heavy that even doing, like, an inch at a time trying to do the the shoveling thing is like, nope, not going to do it. I don't want to get a heart attack.
No. And, you know, statistically speaking, the best way for a man to die in snow country is to have a broken snow blower. Right. It's statistically true. I mean, I can't argue with stats is that you go out there and you're like, well, I have to move it. And it's like, nope, I just go the other route. Like, not moving it at all. No, no. Snow blower is probably the greatest invention and prevention of health issues for men. yeah, it is.
It's such a difference in as far as how much effort you have to put out there. I mean, that's, like, freakin magical. Yeah, You just walk in slowly. I mean, I. I don't know what time you get, but when I was a kid, So this is back in the old country. Old times, right? But it we had a track model from Honda, so there's literally zero effort all year long. nice. That's what I need. We have just a regular wheeled middle of the line. Yeah, wheeled toro. And you need something.
I mean, we haven't been hit really, with a lot of those guys, and I did some work for them. But when you get hit, then it's necessary. And it was. I mean, you know, we probably got 5 to 6 inches overnight and it's heavy, wet stuff. yeah. Yeah. And then we're supposed to get it through tonight into tomorrow. Although right now they're saying it's just warm enough because I'm looking here at my at my meter and it's 32 degrees outside. So it's all getting the ice on the bottom.
And they're saying we might get some rain for a little while and then turn back into snow. that's the best for road conditions. And then for the after that happens, we're having three days where the high is going to be like negative two. Right. I mean, you're like, I'm so glad I'm not up in the Great White North. You're probably happy you're not working. I'm just happy. It's like I'm just not going to leave the house. Yeah, Yeah, We got the groceries. We are all set.
You know, I don't know why It was the first time ever. I mean, we order our groceries like you do. I mean, you can check it off the bingo card, grocery ordering talk. But I went to do that on Wednesday of this week. Normally, I do it on Tuesday. But we pushed it back to Wednesday and I did the whole order was done with it by about 845 in the morning. And there were no slots open for Wednesday. They had no pickup slots. So I don't know what happened. That was the first time that ever happened.
So we had to wait until yesterday to pick up the groceries. Luckily, they had I got a grocery story for you too. boy. In the freezer is working. I plugged that in. So now we just buy frozen stuff, throw it in there, and now you don't have to leave the house for a month, right? Yeah. Well, that's great. yeah. So, let me tell my. My story. The grocery. So, you know, I've been fasting, right? Yeah, for ten days. And you see, I started eating yesterday, right?
Yeah, last night. So it was. It was exactly. I mean, I, I wait till today, but I kind of figured, well you don't technically the last meal I had was about 8 p.m., so I, I broke the fast at about eight. Yeah. But here's what happened. So I was, I figured, well what do I want to eat? Four straight. I thought, I'm really kind of in the mood for like a bagel. yeah, We had talked about that on the last show. Yeah. Yep. So wishing for it every day. For a while. For a while.
And so I had ordered bagels from New York, from my bagel guy. you have a bagel guy. Does he overnight them too. Yeah. Yeah, they FedEx them. Nice. And so I get fresh New York bagels and I ordered you have the cream cheese ordered like pounded like from a TV so I'm like, be perfect. I even timed the delivery to be no earlier than my fast breaking so that I don't well a little earlier I think I had it about 5 p.m. just to give them time whatever their thing. So get a message.
Your food has been delivered. Okay. Walk out the door. Open the door. No food. I'm like, like shit. So either they deliver it to the wrong house or deliver delivery guy just marked that as done. But it hasn't actually showed up. Right? He's running late but doesn't want people to know exactly. Exactly. So I called up H-E-B. I'm like, okay, so got a message, says Food's been delivered by here and talked to them for about 10 minutes. They're trying to track it down.
And then they they said, okay, well, we got a photo of it being delivered like, okay, describe this. The the map right in front of the door, like, there's no map. That's not my house. Oops. Yeah, Oops. And they're like, well, so sorry. You must have been one of your neighbors. Like, Yeah. that's too bad. Your driver can't read address numbers. Yeah. Have a G.P.S.. Come on. Yeah. I mean, well that's the problem is they use the GPS and just pick a random house around where the G.P.S. tolls. Right.
It's close enough. It says stop to stop here. Must be one of these to flip a coin. Got forbid you read a number. So. But I did look in my neighbor's house and there was no food. So they're like, okay, we'll do a delivery. So they do a re delivery. Guess what's the one item they were out of for the delivery? The locks. The locks. now, do they have it for the original delivery? Yes. yes. Faster. Yes. So the they're out of it for, for that. Only and then.
So I was, I was not a happy camper about that event happening. I could just hear you on the phone. You have no idea. Dude, I have not eaten in ten days. What are you trying to explain that to H-E-B? I'm like, This is literally why I ordered the food the first meal in ten days. I'm sure the game just thought I was crazy. Well, yeah. Anybody that tells you they have ten days. Yeah. Like, sure, buddy. Then they look at you, They're like, You had lunch? Come on. Yeah, exactly. so anyway, but.
But it does have a happy ending in the end. A 25 year old Instagram model happens to live two doors down and realized your locks were your locks and brought them over. Almost us. I get a text message from my Muslim neighbor and I say Muslim just because it's funny and you talk to everybody. No, no, we're we're buddies. We go out to eat and stuff and he says, Hey, do you have to order a bunch of food? Because I got a delivery here that has like bacon and lox.
And he's like, I first thought of you. Well, and he was like, Well, you know, my roommate put it all away, but I didn't order this, like, accept it. So I said, Yes, I did, but I got a replacement for everything. You keep everything, keep the bacon. Haha, but bring it over the locks because they couldn't replace that. I need the I need Maalox. So he comes over a little bit later. It's got the bacon, the lights and then a bunch of iced tea.
And so he brought out after iced tea that they missed the liberty. How many of what you normally order? Like 30. How many bottles do they drop off there now I just put in an order for ten this time. So he brought over five bottles back. But they put ten bottles of iced tea at the wrong house. In the wrong house. Yeah. And how much was the grand total of the food delivery? 110. But they are now 130 with everything. 110 would have been without the lox for the delivery.
130 was the original order amount. I mean, the happy thing is it went to 73 so that you knew wasn't going to try to poison you. Yeah. Or keep the food. Well, I mean, I think he, you know, it took him two and a half hours. Still let me know after the fact. Well, he realized, like, wait, I didn't what is this? Why do we have locks in the fridge? Yeah, exactly.
I think his roommate put away the stuff and then thinking that he ordered it, and then by the time he got around to dinner time and they open the fridge, he was like, Man, you got a bunch of food. And I thought that you must get them. So it's he's like, I'm assuming I'm assuming that's what happened. And I think the bacon tipped them off that, you know what? I bet you this is the neighbors are, Well, at least it had a happy ending. Yeah, exactly.
In the traditional sense that the period right, Exactly. Yeah. But this is the happy ending in a different meaning with all of the way that the economy has gone, it's getting so hard to find reasonable people to do the jobs like delivery, like putting your orders together at whatever fast food place. It does seem like there is a massive dumbing down of employees.
I mean, when we were 16, 17, we were working in places, you know, not for me, fast food, but I worked in, you know, different little like the pool store and work for, you know, a bookstore. It's like, I don't think I was completely incompetent. Yeah. All the places that you're going to see a bunch of hot women, right? It's exactly where you get the jobs when they're teenagers, because that's what that's what 1980s movies taught us.
All these Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The good old days, all the things they canceled. Now, you can't do that. I'm sure you've heard this is a good transition. Actually, I'm sure you've heard about the. The Jew tunnels in New York. Yes, under the synagogue. Yeah, And they're the synagogue, So there's obviously as soon as that first popped up on video, a whole shit ton of Semitic people are like to see that sort of Jews.
They take the babies and they drink the blood right there, right out of the synagogue. It takes literally zero time for anything that could betray Jewish people in a negative light to be turned into. See, we told you, Satan, where Hitler was right. The Jews, which I. Well, I saw a lot of those messengers. Yeah, well, people are nuts. But then again, I hang out on there, you know, laying out those types of areas. So there you go. I might be my fault, but yeah, like, no gender, social.
but, what I, what I got from the other media, which is to say Israeli media, which was pretty damn funny, is it appears that the young Hasidic men were all virgins, remember, is, you know, sexually I'm married. I had managed to build a tunnel underneath the synagogue going from an unused part of the synagogue to the women's dressing room. well, this is like, you know, these movies is is Porky's. It's like in Parsons, man.
It's and it's it's like people are like, why are there dirty mattresses there? Why do you think it's it's the the tunnels. It wasn't even an exit. It was like where the tunnel went up to and had some holes in was the women's dressing room, in the building across the street. That's a lot of work, which is also shown, which is also a Jewish building. So so the, the, the theory is the tunnel actually originally was built much earlier.
but the boys had managed to discover it and continue doing a little bit of excavation work to get to their desired target. How they repurposed it. Yeah. So it'll be interesting to see what ultimately comes out of this thing. but you also see in the video you see a bunch of young men with barely a beard, you know, So you can tell they're really young because their beards are less than an inch long, jumping up on the furniture and yelling at the police.
I think we're really seeing this type of behavior. But in different outfits all over. wait a minute. So they're they're zoomers. These are literally Hasidic zoomers. They get I can't even do this with three feet. They're dry. Get mad that the adults are turning off their pornography. See it turning our total away. God, It's a weird world. It is a weird world. A lot of hate, though. I mean, again, I am curious to see now who who's going to be next to, say, tunnels and Gaza tunnels in New York.
Hold my beer because you know somebody will, but we'll have tunnels in Ukraine. Next thing you know. Well, don't forget that we had all the tunnels of all of the smuggling coming in over the southern border. That was always the big stories. We don't talk about that. we don't. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. Hush, hush smuggling operation, human trafficking. Once the guys name the tunnel this way for like ten miles for the mob bosses in the Mexico. right. El Chapo Chapo. Yeah, that was the guy. Yeah.
Ten mile long tunnel. That's great. I mean, hell, back in the day, that's what they used. You know, Al Capone. There were tunnels under all the buildings in Chicago. Tunnels. I was actually I was in the original, what do they call? Well, now they're. I think their last name was the Saint Paul Caves was the last name they went under. But the original smuggler Speakeasy Tunnels in Saint Paul, which were like Saint Paul, Chicago. That was a a regular path for mob activities.
Of course, all the Chicago boys went up to Saint Paul to hide out because Saint Paul had a a non extradition with Chicago. And we got to supply them with all the stuff they needed. Yeah, yeah. And all the illegal booze and shit was all available. Saint Paul was like a rowdy city back in the day, but, you know, Saint Paul didn't always used to be called Saint Paul. Used to be called pigs. I do it now. That's a nice name.
Yeah. Yeah. And apparently somebody said, you know, before we become a state capital, it might be wise to change the name of the city. That would be great. Pigs is a great name. Pigs is a good name. And I mean, I don't. I mean, having a bunch of kids learning the name of the the Minnesota capital of Pigs, that would have been pretty damn funny. They would have remembered that one over all others.
God. Yeah. Yeah. But Saint Paul, whatever you want to do, the pigs, I yeah, it's, you know, it totally makes sense that it was a, a hotbed for mob activity. And I have some photos of myself standing next to the bullet holes in the fireplace down there that I can't remember which of the mobsters got shot there, but it was one of the famous ones. Was pretty, pretty fun times. Of course, now Minnesota is becoming in the process of slowly becoming a republic of
Somalia. Somalia? Yeah. Know part of the the exclave of Somalia under the flag of Somalia. It is an interesting case who changes their fucking flag did well states as changed their flag unless it was from pressure because it was too racist or something. You know the Minnesota flag I'm sure you remember it was fairly blue, as is the state with Land O'Lakes. And in the middle in a little circle was a Norwegian farmer. And then in the other half of the circle was an Indian chief trading goods.
my God, that's so offensive. Totally racist and exclusionary. Yeah. What about all the Somalis that actually own and run the state now? But it's an interesting case because it we see over and over again it's a perfect case when you talk about people that immigrate into this country and there are two completely different types of people. There's the one that wants to America, right? That wants to immerse themselves in the culture, that wants to make a better life and be a part of America.
And then there's the others that basically create a new city, and then it keeps growing. That is nothing like, yeah, what's it like? Right now, France is completely under control of the caliphate. I mean, Macron thinks he is running the country, but he's that country's actually running the Middle East. It's if you don't control immigration, then you have already lost the war. It's crazy because you don't know who is coming across the border. And it seems to be now a lot of military aged men.
yeah. You're talking about France or us Both. Both. I know, right? I saw an interview was just a little quick clip of a legend because they, you know, they blurt about and everything. But an alleged Iranian that had come across the southern border and he was talking about the type of people that he's seeing.
And these like a lot of Chinese, he's like, you have to ask yourself if something happens, if the next event happens, if that next 911 happens and you have millions of foreign nationals of military age. Yeah. In your country, whose side are they on? Well, there's only one thing. Do you know, You have to build internment camps, though, Of course. So if if they don't look American, you got to put them in the camp. What does American look like these? Well, you know, America is about 54% nonwhite.
So I'd say you put all the way these internment camps where the minorities now, why are we getting special treatment? Yeah, by by special exclusion, whites can be the smallest minority possible and still get nothing but accused of having privileged, not logical. well, logic is a very racist creation, You know that. It is created by old white men in Greece like nobody questions it.
I always say the same damn thing when people talk about immigration, like, Look, don't you want people to come in and get a better life? It's like, sure, fuck them. I don't like them, but there's a system and how to do that so that there is a place for them to live, a job for them to have. This is the whole. It's bad enough we have H-1Bs with actual, I guess, qualified people or people that that are going to be paying taxes here. Like I'm not in favor of that either.
But the next level over, which is uncontrolled, undocumented, literally illegal by the laws of this country, which are not being followed for the last three years, people just wandering around of their own accord. You know, I've had my car hit by somebody who was clearly illegal. And whether you think they have insurance, you think they pay for damages.
No, they do. To your vehicle. Well, no, My dad was hit in a car accident that had had him in a life flight flying to the hospital a number of years back. Thankfully, he's made it, but he was out for like three days. Neither the car in front of him nor the car behind him had insurance. It's like, what the hell, man? This states are.
They just don't care about their population, The population that actually pays taxes that that that's supposed to be the only ones voting no. And I posted a map on theirs recently where I'm trying to cross both everything to X and they because is I think they're there's going to be more people that are just an X as well that have a it showed the the the states and the level of precautions they take for voting and in over half the states in the country,
they don't actually verify citizenship for you to vote no. I think as long as you have a name that matches. Yeah that something on there that was it's you don't even need that. All you need is two pieces of mail like a a main statement and a utilities bill and you can vote, you don't need a driver's license, You don't need anything other than two pieces of mail. For most states, that's all it takes.
There's only about, I want to say, about 15 states that require something that is tied to citizenship, like for states where citizenship is required in order to get a driver's license, like in Texas. Right. There's a lot of states now where they are intentionally letting people who are not citizens get driver's license, too. Yeah, like California.
Like you can't use a California driver's license to know that somebody is a US citizen or at least is legal in this country because I know somebody listening is going to be. What about all the green card people? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Green card people are legally in this country, so even though they don't have citizenship, they can get a driver's license. But also they're not supposed to vote.
But in most places, there's no way to validate to keep somebody with a green card from voting because they obviously have all the documents, their driver's license, their bank accounts, they have everything else that's supposed to vote, but, you know, it's on them. And to themselves police themselves to not vote. But where do you think these extra 10 million people that showed up over the last few years, what do you think is the point of allowing them into the country?
Do you think they'll be able to provide two pieces of paper? Sure. That without a driver's license and then vote for what's what's on the little printed piece of paper that they were given? It's always been the right that has been the thought process for the left, is that if we can flood the country, you know, with people that are destitute, I don't even think it matters what nationality.
But if you can bring in people that are destitute, that need the handouts, those are the ones they're going to vote for more handouts. It's just that simple. Well, which kind of brings me nice round to a story that just came out today. Well, at least they I think they.
Which is we might have a true start of the Civil war happening right now because Texas has now started using National Guard to block access to not just to the migrants, but to the Border Patrol agents that are flagging the migrants through on Texas land. Yeah. So you basically the last time the Texas used National Guard against the federal government, it's a long time, been a few years, 18 something. Yeah, 1863, I believe. But this is exactly what they're doing.
It's like you have a Texas based force that is defying the federal force. So it's interesting. yeah. Yeah. Well, the federal force that's acting illegally much as they did in the War of Northern Aggression last time, refusing to do their jobs. And that it's hilarious. Well, it's even worse than that. I mean, it'd be one thing if they just walked off and didn't do their jobs right.
They're actually actively participating in the breaking of US code by waving these people through and getting them on airplanes. So send them all to sanctuary cities who then cry. Which one? Take them doing so. I mean, this is like a whole budget issue. Now on the I know in Texas, it's like, how much money are we spending enforcing what is a federal law that the federal government is not enforcing? Right.
Well, they have to do something to relieve the pressure locally, which makes sense because everybody's coming in to a very few areas. It's not like people are entering the country directly into Illinois or directly to Utah. You know, you've got to go through those couple of states that border and those states just get completely overrun. So I have no problem with them standing up and saying, well, then if you're not going to help us. Yeah, we've got to do it.
It is a federal things or the federal government. I don't know what they're going to try to do. It is going to be interesting because, well, I'm hoping for a conflict here, honestly, because what we need is a real moment to get people to realize that the federal government that we currently have not only is in a you know, it's it's a non elected government because there's been so much data now and videos coming out of genuine election fraud.
But it's a government that is it's literally working against laws that were passed by Congress by not only not enforcing them, but helping people evade them. Yes, it's treasonous. We have a treasonous federal government and everyone is just going along all that crazy Joe, he's an old man. He doesn't know anything. Well, whoever is behind Joe are moving the strings. Sure as hell knows what they're doing. And what they're doing is treasonous.
Well, and you could also make the case that the Bidens are way too compromised at this point because there are money trails coming in from foreign countries. So you're asking, why is Joe Biden not caring, not enforcing? I mean, the case could be made that he's already in such a demented state that he doesn't know what's going on. But then you're right. There's the people behind him.
Or you make the case that Joe Biden, who the video from maybe 20 years ago is circulating again with him, talking before a small group of people talking about how important it is to have secure borders. This is Joe Biden. Yeah, from like 20 years ago. So the question becomes why the change of heart? And this is I have no problem with a politician changing their stance on something, but they should explain why they're doing it. And you don't have that in this case. Well, we don't know why.
It's because money somebody's providing money for them to do it for whatever reason those people want it done. But anyway, if if they if the ball is kind of in the court of the federal government right now, if they do something stupid, like try and actually engage the Texas militia, man, boy. The official Texas molecular is going to be the least of their worries. You think the citizens has more guns than the entire US Army, Navy and Air Force combined? Well, the real question becomes guns.
But what are you going to do, nuke Texas? Well, hopefully not your bunker. Their only choice. You got those ponchos, those you are at least what I am a protected. I've been forward thinking. I've been providing ponchos to the folks that need them. But really, you've got a National Guard, which is more or less equivalent to the Army. So, I mean, what is the Texas have the second biggest National Guard in the country? So who are they going to send it? I mean, that would be the question.
Are they actually going to send in the Army? Is that darn. Yeah. The actual full time army in which the army is not supposed to do so much. How many people in the real army are originally from Texas? Probably a lot. yeah. So like, whose side are you on, boys? Yep. It's. I'm telling you, this is. This is so fucking similar to what we went through 150 years ago. Very, very much.
And it's going to be there's going to be an event and this may very well be the thing that historians point as as taking off the the second War of Northern Aggression. Well, because it's all a game of chicken, the feds have thought for the past few years, there's no way that the state of Texas is going to defy them. It's always been hate that now this is a federal thing. You guys don't get to keep talking about it. Well, yeah, there's no way Texas is going to leave.
They're not going to you know, they keep liking to talk about their independence and their ability to withdraw from the union, but they're not going to do it. Now, I'll tell you what Texas is going to dissect is going to be the ones that are actually following the laws of the country, of the United States, which the federal government is not. Yes, They're like, no, we're supposed to have a closed border, a controlled border.
how interesting would it be if a real civil war breaks out before the movie Civil War comes out? When does the movie come out? In a few months. It could happen. We're getting there with all of the stuff with There's enough of the far right crazy MAGA people. And don't get me wrong, not against the MAGA people, but there is a small percentage that are vehement. They are ready.
I mean, you want to talk about a powder keg, All of the stuff that's going on now, including the the farce in Atlanta where they're trying to nail Trump legally while their whole thing is falling apart. That, I'm fucking you and you're fucking him. And this is all. This is all just nothing but a witch hunt. Yeah. And that case, if that case gets thrown out, that is going to further embolden the the bag of folks. It's going to be interesting to watch, that's for sure.
Yeah, well, I mean, you could talk about people being upset and crazy MAGA or whatever you want to call them, but having the National Guard be pushing out Border Patrol agents from the area, that's that's the kind of shit that starts bullets flying. Because then the question is what is the Border Patrol going to do now they're under the control of Mayorkas.
So it's going to be who's who's already looking like a joke, So it depends how big his balls are and how badly he thinks his policies, her love for the federal government to try and tell them to push back, because I suspect a lot of those federal Border Patrol who are already unhappy that they've been told what their mission is, their entire 20 years in their job. And then for the last three years, they've been told to ignore everything they've ever been told right. They're not happy.
So I suspect there's going to be an awful lot of Border Patrol people that are being told, well, you'd have to take over that territory because, you know, it's the federal government telling you that these morons in Texas and they're like, you know, these people are doing the job for you, right? Yeah, we're switching sides. There's a lot of people right now whose only reason for working for the federal government is because they don't really have a means of getting a paycheck if they quit.
But if something else happens, if they get to the point where they're being told to do something they feel is morally wrong, I think you're going to start seeing a lot of folks decide to not only switch sides, but do it very, very vehemently. Well, as you said, Texas is very well-armed. And if they have a cause, I mean, I just don't understand why what is going on isn't considered by most rational people to be an invasion.
I mean, you have millions of people coming into your country, tens of millions, tens of millions of people coming into the country. The laws never went off the books. All the laws that Congress passed relating to legal and by definition, illegal aliens. Let's use the real term, not the bullshit term they come up for politically correct. These are illegal aliens. People are illegal. I'm like, Yeah, but they are. Yeah. The case I always make is this You've got a house.
You're an average person living in the United States. Wherever it is, If the government shows up at your door and you open the door, because that's always a bad idea. But they're like, Hey, here's a migrant family, ten people. They're living with you now. You're going to do you're going to say, okay, that even though literally prohibited by the Constitution. But yeah, people would say, you know, well, what choice do I have?
Well, this is what my job, if I don't do this, you know, this is what's going on at the border. It's like the the fact that the country is no different than your house. It's just a different scale. There comes a point where, hey, yeah, you can absorb, you know, Gina like he could I could go stay with Gene for a few weeks. It wouldn't have a big problem. He could absorb one guy. I don't know about that. I mean, there's barely enough groceries for this one person here.
Well, as long as I have Internet and I can get up at the H-E-B and have them deliver, yeah, that we'd have more food. But there's a big difference in having one person come stay with you. Do Well, here's 15. They need to stay with you. Yeah. Can you handle that? Can your house handle that? How many bathrooms you got? Well, how many you got? Probably not enough. I mean, the snake has one. All right, You know, if you want to room with the snake, you can come on in.
Yeah, well, this is what you describe is what happened immediately after the the Bolsheviks took over in the Russian Revolution. So the Bolsheviks, the Russian Revolution was not actually orchestrated by the Communists. It was a revolution led by the peasants, for sure, but not by the Communists. The Communists snuck in there, as they often do. And so, I mean. Yeah, and even the term Bolshevik. So you're I'm sure you've heard that word before.
What it actually means is the big guys like the big something, it's the word of the word is big, which is by design, because in reality, the Communist Party was the smallest of the political parties. And so naturally they would name themselves the biggest political party, both in terms of people and in terms of representation, because, you know, they represent everybody but mainly themselves and the and so when the Bolsheviks took over.
There was a and, you know, a lot of the service like started moving to the cities because there was no longer any control from the pre-revolution imperial government. And frankly, what that means is there was no services provided, so everything was reset. It's like, okay, now we have reset the land, we have the buildings, but nobody's working, nobody's taking the garbage. Nobody knows exactly. And things like deliveries of products all stopped.
And so a lot of people's only choice really at that point and surrounding it was, well, I'll just go to the big city. I'm sure things are better there. Well, the big cities were generally where not serfs lived, but more of the middle class and people that weren't working on farms, people that were professionals in business of some type. And so they the population I want to really say density, because it's still a higher density in the cities.
But, you know, a lot of people that lived in the city could afford to live in the city, had nice condos in the city, meaning a whole floor of a building kind of thing. And including my grandparents and after the OR yeah, I guess it'd be both great grandparents and grandparents, even when they were young. And when the when the came takeover, one of their edicts that came out was that you have to start sharing your apartments.
So everybody's apartment that has more than one bedroom becomes a communal apartment, and you will be assigned other people who will live there as well. How did that work out so well? I mean, for better or worse, like the penalty for not following orders is death. So it kind of worked out. There'll we had a lot of people figured a lot of people who, you know, grew up in their childhood, in their ancestral home, all of a sudden had like three other families living in their home.
And they were seen as, you know, the remnants of the evil bad imperial government that existed. And some people would then actually get fully kicked out of their own homes and reassigned to a a bedroom in somebody else. So, I mean, it's a it's a total clusterfuck. Right? And that that is what eventually happens when you have millions of people invading a country with nowhere to stay. Yeah, they're going to they're going to be staying.
And that's what we saw in New York, where they shut down a school in order to house these illegal aliens. Right. Because that's an emergency. We need to do it quick in the winter here. Yeah, I can understand that, because if we have 100 people when it's two degrees outside, if they don't get inside, they're going to die. And maybe they should come here in the first place without a place to live. I mean, it's one of those things.
How do you think it would go if I just dropped you into some European country when you had no money in your pocket? No idea. What do you do? Well, hey, I've run those scenarios so I do know what to do. But I believe that survival is Jean, I. I might even have some drop boxes around there, but it's it's certainly not something that I think is being told to these people coming here that. and by the way, you'll be a lawbreaking illegal alien with no means of, even getting food. Correct.
I think the story they're being sold is like America with Joe Biden. It's got its arms wide open to everybody right now. Yes. And you can walk right in and you can assimilate a new life. And that's what I saw here in the videos of Peter ANTOLINI or Sant'angelo or whatever his name is over at YouTube. Yeah, the Peter Guy. This documentary is about, he goes into all sorts of weird places.
And when he was talking to the Venezuelan migrants that were staying in the Chicago police station, they were like, It's horrible. We can't work because we can't get the because it's fucking illegal for illegals to work. So we can't work. We can't get money. So since we can't get money, we can't get a place to stay and we can't get a place to stay. So we're sleeping on the floor of a police station. And when asked, a few of them were like, If you would have known
what you were going to get yourself into, would you still come? No. Some of them have gone back to Venezuela. So that's the other option. Opportunity now is just fly the people back to they came from. yeah, that's that's great. Let's spend the money for that shit because they realize that what they're getting here is not better than what they left. I would actually hire some of these folks, bring them down to Texas and have them speaking Spanish as their job.
They're going to get paid for telling you how bad it is in the United States with bullhorns. I guess people are going to the border. Yeah, like officially supported and just just massively spread them out to everybody that's within hearing distance of the border. Just say you're being tricked. Do not cross over the border. It is worse here than it was where you came from. And that be telling the truth? Yeah, because nobody here is ready.
Yeah. I mean, look, it'd be one thing if the Democrats wanted to do this and simply changed the laws. They had enough of a majority that they would change the laws. It would go through Congress, it would get signed by the president. That removes a whole bunch of restrictions that we have. And it would simplify the immigration process from the current process, which uses the lottery system to a free for all. If you can cross the border into USA, you get to stay forever.
Yeah. What about even even like Europeans, you know, they when they fly here and incidentally, they're going to start needing a visa soon, but they have all these restrictions uncovered. Adam talked about that even with his daughter who lives in Europe, but who and who is an American citizen, incidentally. But she can't like, bring her boyfriend over because he's not a U.S. citizen because of they didn't get the jab right. You know, there's all kinds of bullshit that people have to follow.
Rules have to do, right. But you can just walk over the border point. Well, look, after you got to do it, just fly to the closest Mexican city or Canadian or. Well, I think that border is a little better guarded than the Mexican one. But you can literally just come across the border.
I would love to see what would happen that like this would be a fun video for somebody to make is what happens if you're a U.S. citizen and you're not hiding it and you go through that same path of crossing the river and into Texas being flagged over given like a toothbrush and a hoodie and all kinds of little travel sets from the Border Patrol of and then, you know, being told which airline you're going to be flying on.
And incidentally, there there have been plenty of recordings of people recording that. They're not even just flying in coach, They're putting them in business class. Right? that was the other thing, because they need to do it quickly. I guess they're putting them in business class and they're buying nonrefundable fares. So people that actually thousands of dollars, if I have paid for the flights, are getting bumped because they are on the cheaper fares. Right.
So if you actually booked a flight, your family, you're going on vacation. It's very possible you're going to be interrupted because, Well, they need that's something that's less likely. But what is absolutely likely is all the frequent fliers that generally get free upgrades. The first they absolutely are getting bumped by. that's why you're mad. You're one of those guys. No, I'm not. Because I always buy first.
well, so I'm usually the guy keeping other people from being upgraded to first because I'm usually the first guy on the plane because I actually paid 1400 bucks for my ticket. And then you paid for the ticket next to you for your caviar guy to fly along? Yeah, No, I do. I don't have a caviar guy in the state. So anyway, the deal is that if you were to do this legally, you could do it. It would take some time for them to get enough support to change the laws.
But they know that that support does not exist. The population does not want that to happen. And so they're effectively running the country by executive order right now. And the executive order is all those, you know, those laws that Congress passed and were signed into law by the then president. Yeah, we're just going to give an executive order that says ignore all those the expression to ignore prior law enforcement should not be up for grabs.
That is not something that they should be allowed to do and they're not allowed to do. And we have a treasonous government, right? They just claim that they're overwhelmed. That's the that's the the ruse here is that they're a little overwhelmed when they come and destroy fences set up by Texas in order to allow freer access to crossing the border to migrants. Overwhelmed, I tell you. Well, yeah, well, that's the story they're telling. It's not true.
So as far as I'm concerned, I really do hope that this escalates because this is what may be the only way that we can save our republic is by doing what Jefferson said has to be done from time to time. Water of the Tree of Freedom with the blood of patriots. Yeah. Tree of Liberty. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, with the. Yes with blood. Including of patriots. Yes. Yeah. I mean those those shouldn't be the only people dying. You're getting choked up. Here you are.
I actually ama it is an emotional topic man. You know, as a first generation immigrant myself to this country who believed in what this country stood for, for so many years, watching it disintegrate and literally get closer and closer to the USSR, not to Russia, because Russia right now is a whole lot more capitalist than America is. But I'm seeing an awful lot of parallels between the current United States and what I remember from living in the USSR.
Well, it's the breakdown of law and order, which if you do this as we're seeing on the border and you do this with crime in all the big cities, as we're seeing with the shoplifting, we're seeing a point in history that appears all of this stuff has accelerated. At the same time, I mean, we had the wild, wild West way back when and saying it's the quickening for a while. But, you know, people used to get killed there because you had your own law. I mean, if you.
Yeah, you know, maybe that's the best way to go, but we need to go back to that. I've been rewatching the HBO series Deadwood. I love Deadwood. It is such a good series, man. It's worth a rewatch. I highly recommend it to anybody. And if you have ever watched it, you need to do it. It was made you know, it's one of the early series, much like The Sopranos, where they really made it in a film like very R-rated full nudity for Gore and Blood.
And and, you know, when people get shot and stabbed and everything else, you really see it. I mean, it may have had the worst language of any television show that I've ever watch, which which they have discussed on the producers talked about the rating on the show was based on books and diaries and research of the era. So that they're saying this is not us trying to be all like edgy. This is literally a recreation of how people spoke that lived there based on their own words.
Swearengen was such a great character. He he that actor is so underrated dude. He was in some such a good job. McCall Ian McKellen Yeah, yeah. He's a he's an Irish actor. He's done a lot of shit in England. He's actually I mean, his natural accent is British or Irish, but it is his. You could not tell his accent in this show is extremely American, but they actually, in episode one had forgotten this. They actually mentioned that he originally is an immigrant from Ireland.
They they they mentioned that and then they completely never talked about it again. Ian McShane Yeah, the guy McShane has a great voice. Yeah, it's a nice raspy voice. He is one of the anti-hero characters that I absolutely love and hate. At the same time, like he does things which are clearly nasty and he, he, you know, hides his malice from others. But there's such a rational mind behind him there. He has an understanding. He's playing the the 3D chess.
He's doing things that are not based on emotion, but always based on a calculation. And he suffers plenty like he has in one of the episodes in season two, he's passing kidney stones. Right? I remember that almost dies as a result of that because remember, they had like, no medicine to treat any of this shit. And surgery was very rudimentary. And so like, you know, you pass them and if you don't pass them and you can't piss you, you die. It's a different world. Yeah, yeah.
And then Trixie is she's a great character, also played by a British actress. It's funny because a lot of the actors in that show were British because they were cheaper, so you could get really professional, you know, theater quality actors for a lot less money than hiring American actors out of Hollywood because especially back then, remember, that used to be a stigma in Hollywood, actors working in television shows, right, baby? When you do a TV show, you're no longer a movie actor.
And this is what we started. But this is where Timothy Olyphant started before he did one movie. Before that, that was a not, you know, kind of a flop, but where he was one of the main roles and it was one of those, you know, teenage sex comedy things, but this was really the first time that he was in a leading role as a leading man. He was also good and justified. Yeah. Although I will say his range of characters is pretty slim. Well, yeah, I'd say it's basically a cowboy with a bad attitude.
Yeah, but it works pretty much. But yeah, I think everybody did a very good job. All the actors, the guy that played Wild Bill Hickok, just amazingly brought to life Bill exactly as I would have imagined him from reading about him. And did you watch They came out with a movie like COVID. Yeah, right. I watched it. Yeah. And I'm going to conclude my at the end of watching the TV show, I'll see the movie as well. It was a fun movie that wasn't everything you wanted,
but it was a fun little look back. Well, it took too long. I mean, it took them like 15 years before they made the movie, right? So, I mean, obviously that it wasn't a a continuation of the story so much as a retrospective of the story. But just great film, great filming. And you're right, it is like a because it was 36 episode and probably 45 minutes apiece. It's basically like a, you know, 28 hour movie. Yeah, it really is. And it is fantastic. I have to watch that again.
And then now I'll probably start swearing more for a while. Yeah, tax liquor price, you know, that's probably the most commonly used word because that's just general reference to any man and there's character. And now, I mean you'd be canceled for that. I want to see now would be funny for somebody to take you know you'd be canceled for the use of the N-word like a thousand times. I mean, I want to know what it would look like to take one episode of Deadwood and make it okay for Woke TV today.
It'd be about 20 minutes and every half. The stuff would either have to be bleeped or the words would have to be changed to something well worth showing. And that got me to want to replay Red Dead Redemption two, which, you know, came out like five years ago or six years ago. And I, I kind of replayed it once a year usually, and I was like, this would be fun. I can't fuckin log in there. And I've got tickets opening with the company.
Their new anti-piracy want your bullshit thing keeps not letting me log in, even though I can log in just fine on the website, but I can't log in the stupid launcher, which means I can't run even the singleplayer version of the game. Is it because your IP is in Moscow and they're like, it is. I tried using a VPN. It didn't help. Bastards. I know. So I'm going to. I'm. I told them like my next attempt to prove that it's on your end and not mine.
I'm installing this on a different computer, on a different network through the same steam account. And if it doesn't work on that computer, well, I guess we know in ancient Mayan. This is it. That would be true. Yep. That's how you figure out half of this stuff. I it's crazy. It's like you got to go and buy another 5000 on a computer just to test a stupid game. Well, maybe that's what they want you to do. They just set me your own. But you're not using it anymore. Yeah, I got two old ones now.
Keep building up, man. I got them all sitting in the basement. I don't. I'm, like, branded Dude, I. I never dispose of old TVs or computers when I'm done. You got to keep them. You never know when they might be worth money. Remember that bread from The Sopranos? Tony explains it. And it's actually a true thing that the the the mob never replaces gives me it.
Well, they they get new ones, but they don't ever dispose of the old ones because the theory is that as soon as the feds know that you just put in a new TV, they're instantly going to try and bug it like they're, you know, their game, which honestly is how they do it in reality is they just get that latest model and then put the bugs. And then when nobody's at the home, they swap out the old one. You're assuming that they all don't come with the bugs now.
Well, okay, The Sopranos was shot, I know, 20 years ago. Right. But I mean, now. Yeah, well, now they do all come with the bucks. It's called Alexa. The smart TVs that have the microphones behind the microphones these days. There's not a you can't buy a TV without a microphone. And then some of them have cameras, too.
You'd have to go in and disconnect them physically, and then maybe you would stop them from working or, you know, if you're just using it as a TV or rather even just a display, you don't connect the TV to wireless. Yeah, you don't want it, otherwise you don't want it. Don't need it on the Wi-Fi, because what you're using it for is what's on the Wi-Fi, and that's plugged in just through HDMI.
And now the TV itself does not need to be in Wi-Fi, but most people connected right away because they're stupid. As we talked about on Grumpy Old Ben's at one point, that show still going, still going, man, I haven't heard of my old podcast for a long time. Some of the television brands, I don't know if they were still doing it, but there was one I forget which brand, maybe Samsung that was looking for open Wi-Fi network that would connect itself like, Damn.
Now with all of these like Comcast or, you know, all of these open wi fi accounts everywhere, there's stuff built into the TV that's like, Nope, we could just have an account that we can get the data that we need. Somebody had a posted something that an X that was like, Why is my LG washing machine using like three gigs of it? I'm like, I'm glad mine fell off the wi fi. I've been checked. I mean, I guess I get it with some of these devices.
Yeah, unfortunately the story doesn't have a mike from when they, it might, when, when they lose connection and then just keep trying and trying and trying and trying. They're using bandwidth. So there's that's unfortunately when some of these things break, they just use constant data because they're trying to do something. It's not necessarily nefarious most of the time. It's just stupid programing who don't know?
Well, if we're having a problem connecting, maybe only try once every day or hour or whatever. Yeah. Rather than hammering on the network. But yeah, I notice that the new air fryers have the wi fi built in the The Coffee machine we've got has wi fi built in. And the only reason that I allow that is I understand that it reads the QR code on the coffee pods which a lot of them have now. Yeah. And they adjust these come out with new codes that it has to figure out.
So it's like okay if you want it to be able to read that, obviously you don't have to have it do it. You can disconnect it. I mean, it is a little bit weird when some of these things have services that are like, Well, we could that, you know, if you buy your K-Cup through us, well, okay, you bought 100 of these K-Cups. Once you've used 90, it'll be like, we'll reorder. You know, we can we can track what you're drinking and no, that's all a little bit weird. I get it.
As they were talking about a no agenda yesterday, I believe they were talking about the refrigerators with the cameras that will be able to tell you that, you know what, your Lohan or hey, this package of meat is expiring in two days. You should use it or wow, we see you have these five in green. Let me let me ask make one about food. Yeah. So I've had some sauerkraut that I pull out of can in my fridge and the expiration date. It was about a year and a half ago.
What the hell makes sauerkraut expire? I don't know. I've had this conversation about so many different things. It's literally promoted a product. Yeah, it's from fermented cabbage, which kills all bacteria. Part of the reason you eat it is because it's antibacterial and it's actually good for you in that sense. What the hell would inspire sauerkraut? So I'm going to eat it. I don't care. It's a year and a half since the fridge because as far as I'm concerned, that's bullshit.
It's one of the foods that you can, can and then eat like a decade later and. I usually go at least a little bit past whatever the expiration date is, because one we know that's not that is a cover their ass acetate, anything that's on food. My refrigerator is so close to freezing that I know things are going to last a little bit longer, but I am curious about things in the freezer. Now that we got the new freezer, I'm finding things.
We bought a bunch of chicken breasts that were individually vacuum packed. Yeah. Like right when COVID started. yeah. You could eat those, like, so three or four years. That's okay. I mean, that's time. As long as it's been frozen the whole time that you never thought them and then refrozen. Right now they haven't. They've just technically, it's probably slow. Okay, But that's the only time the risk ever goes up. But you could keep foods that are solid frozen.
You can have almost indefinite life. Now. You will have changes in East after a while, right? A little taste and texture. Yeah, they may not, because, you know, the crystals are ripping apart all the cells in there. When.
