Episode 202

In today’s episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we continue the Bonkers series in which we discuss a range of topics: the battle of the flags, known corruption in the Democratic Party, Bill SB292, and a frivolous murderous NY dad. You’ll hear of radicalized, deeply misguided women, people who knowingly ignore obvious corruption in order to achieve a particular end, and murder for no reason. While there’s never a shortage of crazy stories to pick from when it comes to the Bonkers series, the goal is not to discourage the people of God or lament the lost condition of our world. Instead, let’s be emboldened to inconvenience our family, friends, and neighbors with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

[Jay]

Thank you for tuning in to the Removing Barriers podcast. I’m Jay and I’m MCG. And we’re attempting to remove barriers, so we can all have a clear view of the cross.

[MCG]

This is episode 202 of the Removing Barriers podcast. And this is the 13th in the series of this world has gone bonkers, and in this episode, we have lined up a number of news articles that we think show that this world is bunkers.

[Jay]

Hi, this is Jay. MCG and I would like for you to help us remove barriers by going to: removingbarriers.net and subscribing to receive all things, removing barriers. If you’d like to take your efforts a bit further and help us keep the mics on, consider donating at removing barriers.net/donate, removing barriers. A clear view of the cross.

[MCG]

All right, Jay, I’m going to start with the notorious David Hogg. You know David Hogg. He’s a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, and he’s also a student survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018. Well, he has now become an activist. Of course, since then for gun control. Well, David Hogg was on a hidden camera by Project Veritas, and he has some things to say about Nancy Pelosi. Here is David Hogg.

[David Hogg Clip]

Joining us now, DNC Vice Chair David Hogg

We’re not going to go after Pelosi.

[MCG]

And let me apologize to the music and stuff like that. This was in the original video that I couldn’t take out.

[David Hogg Clip]

One, we wouldn’t beat her even if we wanted to. That’s. So 2 is it unnecessary fight back when there’s other members that are far weaker, and I I would say Pelosi is actually very good at her job. I don’t agree with the stock trading stuff, but you don’t, no. Some of these members are partners. Think states that are like way too well timed. To not have like insider knowledge about anything you felt. You think that’s how Pelosi is worth? Yes. Hundreds of millions of dollars, yes.

So.

I mean, she gets better returns than almost every. Hedge fund in this city. Every year and you don’t think that? Has to change. No, it does. Would you change that? You just band members of Congress voting stock. So put their assets in a blind trust.

You’re.

Gonna prop up candidates who oppose that. Is that your goal? To help candidates? OK. Yeah, yeah. Because it’s a long haul. There’s 435 members. Yeah. Yeah. And most likely 430 of them are are doing the same thing. Which is why they don’t wanna, I don’t know, but. I’m just stating I think it’s a pretty good. Allegedly. Yeah, it’s convenient. They happen to be some of the best financial analysts in human history.

Have you spoken against that?

I’ve talked to, but it’s also like. I know that if I picked that fight, it’s going to. Be harder for us to. Get gun control passed so. I pick my. Bat like my heart. The hardest part about my job is I just wanna burn everything up this. Is. Also corrupt, but you gotta pick your battles and slowly build. You know that.

[MCG]

So that was David Hogg. Let me say this. I don’t think this is just a Nancy Pelosi issue. I think Republicans are guilty of this too, and for those. If you don’t know, insider trading is actually illegal in the US, and that’s when you have insider knowledge of what’s going to happen to a company or whatever case might be that would affect their stocks. And you can either sell early or buy early to avoid losing money. And if you notice a lot of Congress people, they go to. Join Congress being normal people with normal, networked and all of a sudden 2-3 years in, they’re millionaires now. Nancy Pelosi. See, it’s worth, I think hundreds of millions of dollars after spending our entire career in government. And David Hogg, the voice chair of the Democratic National Committee, is saying, hey, yeah, we know that they do some of these things. It’s obvious because their investments are just too good and no one is that good. But he said. Well, we’re going to have to allow it, quote UN quote par for the name. So we can get gun control. So what does that remind you of? You kind of remind me of the declining Joe Biden, the mental, declining Joe Biden. But we’re gonna prop him up because Trump is too bad to win or whatever case may be, I guess it’s.

[Jay]

Well, didn’t they say that outright? They said Biden. All we need is your corporeal form. They actually did say that in an article. Go.

[MCG]

Ahead to some degree, The Dirty game of politics, hmm? But. And it’s also interesting what you would catch someone say. When they don’t know they’re being recorded. Here we go. We cannot really know it. We cannot really know it. We know these politicians have some kind of insider knowledge. At least that is my belief and I don’t think it’s necessarily a Democrat issue. I think it’s on all sides of the aisle that do it, but it’s just interesting here because gun control is such a boogeyman. Or Trump, or such a boogeyman that we going to remove all ethics and all morals and whatever the case may be. So we can get all gun control. So Donald Trump doesn’t go into office. This is dangerous precedent. They’re sitting here because then what else you going to choose? Which is the, quote UN quote? The lesser of the evil so that this greater thing doesn’t happen, which is again control our Second Amendment. Right. Well, the case may be. And I understand he was a victim of a brutal well. I don’t know if he was a victim. He was a survivor. I don’t know where in the building he was, even if he was at the building, he was a student at the school. I don’t even know if he was at school. Day. I don’t know. I don’t know what he saw, what he went through, if he did, went through something. Of course my heart goes out to him. No one wants to witness anything like that or have friends that go to anything like that. But at any cost. David Hogg, at any cost to get your gun control anyways.

[Jay]

What is the normal penalty or punishment for insider trading? Does that include jail time?

[MCG]

I believe so, but I’m not 100% sure.

[Jay]

So OK, they’re all involved with insider trading, and we all know, like you said, MCG. It’s not just Nancy Pelosi, if we threw them all in jail, then how would the Congress continue to function? Maybe that’s what he’s saying when he says, OK, you gotta pick your battles. The bigger issue here is getting gun control passed. If the whole thing is so corrupt. Maybe he sees it as a lost cause, and maybe that’s why he’s still playing ball, even though he knows that everyone in there is dead. Me.

[MCG]

Well, according to Duck AI insider trading can result in severe penalties, including up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $5 million for individuals. Additionally, civil penalties can be imposed, which may account to three times the profit gain or loss avoided due to the illegal trading. And that’s according to Duck.

[Jay]

Ohh.

[MCG]

AI so.

[Jay]

One of the main reasons she is not going to pay for any of this and she’s not going to be held accountable is because of who she is. The fact that she’s a congresswoman, the fact that she has a lot of power and sway and influence in the Democratic Party Democrat Party.

[MCG]

Well, it’s not just that the understood is how do you prove it. So we can say it’s obvious to us, but being obvious to us doesn’t stand in court. Hmm. So how do you prove? Let’s say she has insider knowledge of Apple, for example. How do we prove that it would take maybe e-mail correspondence between her and somebody in Apple that would be in the note. It would take someone to come and testify of that and maybe more than one person. Or you may have to get her on tape saying it or something. It’s a very hard crime to prove, especially with someone like that because. Firstly, if Trump decide, hey, let’s investigate Nancy Pelosi for inside trading well. Oh, what is going to be is going to be done by the political, which one? And if the other side does it? If when Biden was in, they decide to investigate the Republicans inside the trading, the dirtiness of politics is just going to mess everything up and everybody going to cry wolf and say no, I’m not doing it and they only with they’re investigating me because I’m a Democrat or because I’m a Republic. And of course, we know how much we can trust the FBI and the DOJ and all these people that so it’s not just because of who she is. It’s just harder to prove. And I guess who she is make it harder to prove too, because she have her loyal people not gonna spill anything. So.

[Jay]

Right. Well, I’m sure she’s significantly connected as well. She’s well connected. She’s on all of these different committees and subcommittees. In Congress, that would allow her that kind of access would allows her also to make a lot of connections with really powerful people. And so even if you wanted to prosecute, even if you wanted to investigate, you wouldn’t be able to like one of the most important committee assignments is the Appropriations Committee. Doesn’t the Appropriations Committee determine? I don’t want to speak out of turn, but it seems like they determine who gets what. You. Honey.

[MCG]

Well. The thing is.

[Jay]

Passing appropriation bills, along with its Senate counterpart. This is, according to Wikipedia, the bills passed by the Appropriations Committee regulate. Yeah, the expenditures of money by the government of the United States. One of the if not the most important committee. But she didn’t just serve on the committee. She was like a ranking like she was a leader in that committee. Here, let’s go back to Wikipedia, see what it says here, of course. Take everything Wikipedia says with a grain of salt, but it says here in the house she served as the appropriations and intelligence and the Intelligence Committee as she was the ranking member on the latter until her election as Minority Leader, she was a member of the House Baltic Caucus and the Congressional Equality Caucus. So. Even if they know that she’s dirty, no one’s gonna mess with Nancy Pelosi. And so that in itself is the evil where, you know, something is wrong and you know someone is dirty but you refuse to say anything because the price is too steep.

[MCG]

Yeah, probably. Most likely that. But I think also David Hogg mentioned how to prevent it is by putting their asset in the. And trust, I guess that could represent once you become a member of Congress or President or whatever, put your assets in a blind trust so you don’t know what assets you have in your investments. And I guess that could work. But I think a better scenario would be it’s term limits. Nancy Pelosi is what, 82 or something?

[Jay]

Who’s that? Says the representative. Uh-huh.

[MCG]

That. She’s definitely in her 80s and she has been in Congress for 40 plus years. I would guess if you could double check me on that.

[Jay]

Yeah, she is 85.

[MCG]

85 and how long have you? Been in Congress.

[Jay]

She has been in Congress since.

[MCG]

79 or something.

[Jay]

Like that little bit before that it looks like, well, she started. Sorry, let me look here. Her rap sheet is so long. Here, let me see. Not rap sheet. Shouldn’t say that about our representatives, but looks like the earliest date here. Sixties 63, no.

[MCG]

Maybe that’s local 62 would be local, maybe local California estas?

[Jay]

OK. Yeah, perhaps, yeah. So around the 70s, it looks like 87 it looks. Like.

[MCG]

OK. And that’s what almost 40 years, 38 years.

[Jay]

She started. More than.

[MCG]

38 years if it’s 87 to 38 years.

[Jay]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right.

[MCG]

So yeah. Limits. So yeah, the blind shots, but also term limits. This will prevent all this nonsense, because then that access is removed and whatever case may be and still they have their prestige of being a former member of Congress and they can get a big board seat someplace and make a lot of money still. But at least they won’t be doing it on the taxpayers. Time anyways, what’s your first article?

[Jay]

If I could just put one more thought on that, I think that we’re beginning to see maybe. Me people who are listening to this podcast are much wiser. They see more things than us, more vital than we are. And so they’ve seen corruption many, many, many decades prior to this. But at least in my lifetime, it’s amazing how we are seeing the corruption in our government institutions, how deep it actually goes. They don’t call it the swamp for nothing. And the whole idea of trading the swamp. It’s a beautiful idea. Yeah, but when you see how deep the corruption goes, you wonder if the people who want to burn it all down actually have a point. Just burn it all down and start over. Of course, that means revolution, and that’s never a wonderful thing. But I’m not excusing what David Hogg said, but I sort of kind of understand it. If your soul, desire and focus in life is to get this one thing passed for him, it’s gun control. Then you probably won’t quibble and quibble about these other little things that you deem are not as important. No, no, I’m not giving him a pass either. I’m just saying I understand.

[MCG]

No, I don’t give him a pass because in in my mind. In my mind, I hate to get this graphic, but in my mind it’s like this. I want to catch the murderer so bad that I’m going to give a wink and a nod. To. The ******? No. No, in my mind, that’s what it.

[Jay]

Hmm.

[MCG]

Gun control is so, so important that I’m gonna give a wink and a nod to something that he find to be obvious again. Maybe he can’t prove it again. Maybe he can even.

[Jay]

In his own words, he said it was a huge problem, so it’s not just her, it’s pretty much everyone.

[MCG]

In Congress, I believe so, maybe not everybody, but. Yeah.

[Jay]

The only two that I would say for sure.

[MCG]

95 percent, 99% probably.

[Jay]

99 Yeah, if you tell me, Matt Gaetz, I don’t even think he’s, but folks like Thomas Massey as well. I don’t think I would ever see them doing something that crazy, but pretty much everyone else. Yeah.

[MCG]

Yeah, I don’t put anything past the human nature, but go ahead.

[Jay]

OK, I got an article here from the. New. York Post says here. Female activists arrested for tearing down US flag, replacing with Mexico’s flag at the California Park shouting this is Mexican land. And then there’s an expletive there. A female activist threatened Park Rangers in a profanity laced fury as they took her into custody for allegedly tearing down an American flag and replacing it with a Mexican. One at a California park body Cam footage. Rose Crystal Aguilar, 24, was arrested on Thursday for slashing a chain that secured the flagpole, located at Hart Park in Bakersfield, before throwing the US flag in the mud and raising Mexico’s national banner in its place, according to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office. You’re not going to tell me what to do. This is Mexican land, and there’s an expletive there. She screamed that as three Park Rangers approached her. The footage shows she allegedly resisted arrest with the Rangers holding her down as she repeatedly threatened to have them and their families killed. Touch me expletive. And when your kids die and then she goes on to talk about how she’s Mexican, she’s Aztec and that they’re going to pay just making threats to these Rangers and their families. And this is all according to the body Cam footage of the officer. And Aguilar demanded the deputies turn off her car before telling them to get off her land. I’m going to let my father. Kill you, she hollered twice. Deputies responded to the park around 9:36 AM after receiving multiple reports of someone trying to steal the stars and stripes. Park Rangers then found the woman’s white sedan sitting in the muddy grass at the park’s entrance as she wrestled with the flag, she did whatever she was doing with the flags. Aguilar, who is known as an immigrant rights activist in Kern County, recently protested the ice raids in her community, citing her Mexican parents were deported when she was a kid. She is booked at the Ledge Row jail and charged with threatening a police officer, vandalism, resisting arrest, trespassing and marijuana possess. Question she’s due back in court as of a week of the publishing of this article, so this is a crazy article, bonkers, because the idea that you would tear, well, I suppose it’s not so bonkers because we’ve seen people tear down the American flag, burn it, step on it. We’ve seen them replace the flag at certain buildings with. The LGBTQ IA alphabet flag. We’ve seen them replace it with BLM contraband, and so perhaps it’s not quite that bonkers in the sense that we haven’t seen this kind of thing before, but it is bonkers that you would be in someone’s country and tear down the flag to put up another nation’s flag and yell all of these different things. Calling on ancient people. Groups she mentioned the Aztec and other people group as though that were some sort of justification for her behavior, which that is bonkers. The fact that you’re an immigrants rights activist? That’s bonkers. See, if you were to tell me that you are an immigrant rights activist and what you do is that you make sure that you’re not treated hatefully. Because you’re a certain, you know you’re part of a certain people group or you’re not mistreated by the government because you’re not a citizen, and so they shouldn’t treat you as though you don’t have rights. I can understand that. But we all know that when she says that she’s an immigrant rights activist, what she’s really saying is that there should be no border. This is stolen land anyway, and these people deserve to be here. And so you need to cough up all of your reparations and all of your government assistance and cough up money to have these people settle here, even though they are not citizens. And even though they are in the nation illegally, which is bonkers. You can’t have a country Without Borders. And so this idea that she would threaten Rangers, I don’t know.

[MCG]

Hmm.

[Jay]

If these are. Park Rangers Park Rangers, so yeah.

[MCG]

Rock.

[Jay]

They are well. That’s a good question. I should find out if they fall under. Actual police officers.

[MCG]

They have arrest powers within.

[Jay]

Within the park. Right. Ohh. OK. Well, OK then. Yeah, that’s a person of authority. That’s the the police officer to threaten. Not just them, but their families as well. We’re at them and do all kind of escalating behavior. That’s just bonkers. But if she’s 24, So what is that? That’s Gen. Alpha, if I’m not mistaken. That’s that’s Genesee. Oh, OK.

[MCG]

Not urgency. Gen. Alpha is teenagers and below.

[Jay]

They’re teenagers right now, OK, so.

[MCG]

And below even all the way down to like.

[Jay]

20 I didn’t realize that’s where the lines fell. OK, my bad. All right, but Even so, the generations that are coming up, it seems to me, and I could be wrong about this. I hope I’m wrong about this. This is a normal way of thinking this idea that there should be no borders, that we’re a racist country anyway, and this is all stolen land and no.

[MCG]

It’s just the the work, work, mind virus. It just work.

[Jay]

Or is it just her? Is it just her? Mine virus which is dying out, which I pray, continues to die out. But the idea that someone actually thinks and behaves that way is bonkers.

What does?

[MCG]

Well, I don’t know if it’s dying, but couple of things are still out to. Me one is. Right. You feel a certain way about the US and about the stone of land. You’re living a border state walk across the border, go to Mexico. No discrimination, nothing. Go back. Why are you staying? Are you assume you were born here because your parents were deported and you are still here? So I assume. She was born here, so she.

[Jay]

So she’s an anchor baby then?

[MCG]

Right. Or U.S. citizen of that sort. But whatever the case may.

[Jay]

OK. MHM.

[MCG]

B. Go back, you’re in the border states. If you were living in New York or some one of these states that are in the northern border and you don’t have the money to fly down to Mexico, I can understand. But you live in California. You can even probably hitchhike to Mexico if you want to from California, especially from LA. I’m sure there a lot of people live in LA going to Mexico, so. And then everything you said, you know, I’m. Immigrant. I did everything the illegal way, but I’m not going to comment to that. That’s amazing. People flag and all that stuff because of what the case may be. It’s crazy to think that, you know, you can come to some one country and make demands of them.

[Jay]

Does her behavior fall under the banner of freedom of expression, freedom of speech? It does. Freedom of association.

[MCG]

To some degree, but you don’t have a right to take down the flag and put up the Mexico flag. There has to be some kind of crime there, but other than that she can match in the street and. Claim that this is Mexico Lanos you want, or she can waive the Mexico flag as long as you want. I don’t think that’s the issue. I think what? What was their charges? Resistance, Everest and all that.

[Jay]

3. Putting an officer.

[MCG]

They didn’t charge her for her expression because that. Yeah, yeah. But anyways, many things there. But my overall take away is just go to.

[Jay]

Mexico Christians ought to look at this and realize, though, that you know you and I, we are at the door witnessing on a weekly basis. You go many times more in the week than I do. And the people that we’re going to encounter today. I mean. It’s a different bowl of soup. It’s a different sauce out there. The explosion of recreational and illicit drug use, the increase in the abuse of prescription drugs. The increase in the participation with you know all kinds of things that we don’t even know how it affects young people’s brains. Something mushrooms and psychedelics and all these different things, coupled with the effects of social media, coupled with the lack of education provided to these kids, I’m certain she’s publicly educated. We talk about this all the time when we interview missionaries, asking them about the difference in culture. Is it in acts Chapter 2 or act chapter 17? Culture America is already there. This is an Act 17 culture through and through and through and through people who don’t have.

[MCG]

Well, in the cities in the New York under the East Coast and West Coast, the Californians and the New Yorks and stuff like that. But in the middle of the country, I don’t think. So. At least I don’t think it’s fully matured in the middle of the country and the the Bible Belt area, stuff like that. I can’t imagine going into rural Virginia and rural. Kentucky and stuff like that. And people are this crazy in their thinking. I don’t think so, so. Yes, and unfortunately, you know, whatever happens, he’s going to go back after all, Kamala Harris said that they don’t even have. What was it, King Coles or something? That they’re.

[Jay]

The coffee, the coffee company.

[MCG]

What machine? So they can’t get the driver.

[Jay]

‘S license so awful the way they think. All I’m saying is, though, in today’s world, the likelihood of you running into someone that has.

[MCG]

Anyway.

[Jay]

Such a detachment from reality, the likelihood has increased, and so perhaps as Christians, we need to be thinking about, OK, how to engage someone when the fundamentals, the rules of reality, are not even there. They’re not in play. And that’s going to affect how we present the gospel to them. They’re not going to understand Jesus loves you and has a plan for your life.

[MCG]

Oh yeah.

[Jay]

For her to even think. And of course, we’ve covered a lot of different things on this podcast that are bonkers, but for her to even be in that frame of mind, there’s a lot going on there, not just emotionally, but intellectually, spiritually. There’s a. Such a what is the word? A degradation that.

[MCG]

Is the victim mentality? Is there intersectionality of things to look at herself as being black or brown person? I’m assuming since she said she’s Mexican, black or brown and she.

[Jay]

That really needs to be addressed yet. Went back to Aztec.

[MCG]

And she’s a female and stuff like that. So she’s kind of down the wrong of their hemogenic power. So it’s all that, and it’s probably the colleges as well. But yeah, that would be my take.

Yeah.

[Jay]

All right.

[MCG]

All right, so the state of Maryland and Senate, Bill 290. You here is a sheriff. And here is what the bill is all about. I’ll let the sheriff tell you then I’m going to read a summary of it.

[SB292 Clip]

Well, we’re just two weeks into this year’s legislative session and already we’re seeing some of the bills and there is a bill that of course makes me scratch my head and say I wonder what they’re thinking in this bill. But wait a minute. I think we’ll just show you the video. Check out the video.

Sarge, that guy’s driving with no headlights.

Yeah, yeah, I see him. Hope you can see where he’s going. Sir. Sir. Sarge, did you see that? He made an illegal U-turn right in front of us. We have to stop that car. Wow, you’re right. Illegal. You turn and he almost hit that guy. Hope everybody’s alright. Sorry, can you hear that there was an?

Insane loud noise coming from that vehicle.

Yeah, I can hear it. No, that dirty litter bug. What is he thinking?

You want to know why Sergeant Eaton couldn’t pull me over for all those offenses you just saw there? Well, it’s right here. If Senate Bill 292 were to pass in this year’s General Assembly session, law enforcement officers in Maryland could not pull you over as a primary offense for. In. As you just saw, I can throw all my trash out the car window and litter our roadways in Maryland and, you guessed it, a police officer can pull me over as a primary offense for.

That I guess I can clean up after him.

Senate Bill 292 has a hearing tomorrow at 1:00 PM in Annapolis, and if this bill were to pass, all these offenses you just saw and more would become a secondary offense, meaning our police office. Officers cannot stop people from committing those violations of law. Not only is that not far enough, but this bill sponsor, with the additional measure to make sure that it’s pointed out that if a police officer mistakenly pull someone over, that that officer is subject to administrative discipline. You really cannot make this stuff up.

[MCG]

Alright, so I have a little bit to say about this. So the list of secondary offenses would be expired. Registration driving without headlights, illegal U turns driving illegally in a bus lane and excessive noise coming from your vehicle. And I think there’s more I’m going to read a summary of the bill. So that I don’t have to read the entire bill. This bill introduces significant changes to traffic stop procedures and enforcement in Maryland, primarily focusing on limiting police officers ability to initiate stops for certain minor infections. The bill requires police officers to document all reasons for a traffic stop. They spray proper identification and provide specific. Information of individuals being stuck, including the officer’s name, identification number, agency and the reason for the stop. Most critically, the bill mandates that many vehicle related violations, such as expire registration, windows tinting, missing mirrors and equipment issues can only be enforced as a secondary action, meaning an officer can only address these violation if they have already stopped the driver for another primary. Violation. If an officer fails to follow these secondary enforcement rules, any evidence obtained may be inadmissible in court, and the officer may face administrative disciplinary action. Additionally, the bill prohibits officers from preventing citizens from recording their actions during the stop, provided the citizen is acting lawfully and safely. The new regulation aims to reduce what some view as pretextual traffic stops and increased transparency in law enforcement interaction. So I have a little bit of mixed feeling about it.

[Jay]

Before you share your feelings, I just want to be clear. It seems like this bill simply requires police officers to document the reason for a traffic stop or other citation resulting from the stop, and that if there is a secondary reason, a secondary action, then they can only do it. That as a result of having initially pulled them over for. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.

[MCG]

No, the officer kind of stopped them for stuff like let’s say their registration expired after October. One officer can’t say ohh you’re driving under expired registration. I’m going to stop you, pull you over. You can’t pull them over for not having the headlights on or blowing on headlights. They can’t pull them over for illegal U turns. They can’t pull them over for driving the bus lane. They can pull them over for excessive noise coming from the vehicle. So they can’t say, hey, you made an illegal you term, I’m going to pull you over if they stop you from some other reason, which is the primary reason, let’s say speeding. Was that mentioned. So let’s say they pull you over for going, you know 50 in a 35 and then they notice the headlights are out and then they notice you have expired registration.

[Jay]

OK.

Right.

[MCG]

They can add that on to the ticket that you get, or whatever case may be, but they can’t pull you over for those offenses as the primary reason.

[Jay]

So let’s take it. I’m just not seeing that in the bill. That’s why I’m a little bit confused.

[MCG]

No, he’s in there. It’s in there. But the important thing here is that I remember when we were doing our Black Lives Matter series and stuff like that. I wanted to complain. I’ve always been OK. Police are targeting black people for exercise reasons. And whatever the case may be and the politicians were blaming it on the police.

[Jay]

OK. All right, go ahead.

[MCG]

Police are racially profiling people the police are using excessive force and all that stuff. Well, we know that a lot of the contact a police officer have. With citizens, it’s actually while they’re driving is a traffic stop. Usually the traffic stop, and usually it’s for stuff like your brake lights are out. Your indicator is not working. Headlights are out. Whatever the case may be. And I remember saying, hey, this is not on the officers. This is on the legislature because they can change the law so they can say, hey, officers no longer pull over. Someone if they have expired registration because what will happen? You have an expired registration, you get pulled over. The officer claim he spelled weed coming from the vehicle, right? He called a canine unit. The canine unit hit. Now the officer have reasons to search. He search you find jobs. They find a gun illegally or whatever the case may be. And all of a sudden, in case they’re going to jail. Right. And if you decide to resist, then you provide more issues there. They’re going to chase you. And if you have something that look like a gun, they might shoot you, blah, blah, blah. So now Marilyn said, hey, officers, for these petty crimes, you no longer can just see someone ohh the person driving with expired tags. I’m gonna pull them over. Can’t pull them over for that anymore. I remember when I went to my police ride along. We did a pretextual stop. We actually sat in the car and wait for someone to leave just to pull them over. And the reason we pull them over. For something else, but we use a traffic stop to do it, but on the police side though, you have to see where they’re coming from because most of the time these are how they take criminals off the streets. So you’re justifiably limiting the hands of the officers from actually doing their job because now to me they’re going to be more criminals on the street. Because now what will stop? Before I’m never registering my car again, because if I’m not speeding or if I’m not doing any other traffic violation that will cause you to pull me over. Now you can’t pull me over, so basically they can lose a lot of money there for people that rent in their vehicle. I guess if they come over in a different state against them. But at least in the state of Maryland, they can do whatever they want there and also the sovereign citizens that never rise their vehicles, never free pass. No. So I don’t know. I think it’s a bit bonkers that you will limit the officers like that, but I can see some groups and some organization might say, you know what, it’s about time because we are tired of being pulled over for nonsense. And I’m saying nonsense because they will call it nonsense that that I am calling it nonsense. I think you should be followed the law. Register your vehicles and do whatever the case may be.

[Jay]

But are they trying to resolve the issue that some people run into where they have some sort of minor issue like a I don’t know blown tail light or registration is expired and so in an effort to get to the? County. They go through several different counties and get hit by officers for the same thing as they go through each county. Let’s say a $10 problem becomes $1000 problem. Because is that what they’re trying to address?

[MCG]

No, no. No, because if you get pulled over twice for the same thing, you probably have some kind of warning or something even. Let’s say you didn’t even get a. That you have some kind of warning that something you can say, hey, I got pulled over by just called here ready and I’m whatever case may be, police officers are gonna say oh, well, you know, if you have a ticket, I’m ready for the same thing. They usually will give you a a period of time to fix it. So if you have the ticket and it should be in the system as well too. If you have the ticket police office OK. This person would already pull over for this. And within the 30 days of fixing it, they can move on. So I don’t think that’s the issue. I think the issue is more what I said is more the fact that a lot of the contact police officers have with citizens is through some sort of traffic violation. And they’re saying, hey. If we pull back on that, we will limit the numbers. Maryland isn’t the only state that have done something like this. Virginia think did something like that as well, where you can, I don’t know exactly what Virginia did, but I think he has something to do with fake registration or I think it might be indicate the light or something that he can’t pull them over. If you indicate the light is out or something, you know, mind the traffic violation they call them. But I think I’m somewhat. This side of the police officers here saying, hey, the more violent criminals they can get off the street and if it’s through traffic stuff, you get them off the street, so be it. But I can see the politicians are now taking them out in their hand and say, hey, we’re the one with the power. We’re the one can tell the police what to do. At least I don’t want to see the police being blamed for any nonsense anymore, you know, because the police were being blamed for BLM and all these things when ohh this person got pulled over for minor traffic violation and then all of a sudden get shot. OK, now they can’t pull them over to minor traffic violation in Maryland anymore. Let’s see what happened. Let’s see what happened in the next couple.

[Jay]

Hmm. Yeah.

[MCG]

Years in the state of Maryland, the thief crime went up. Our crime goes down because of this bill.

[Jay]

How’s it going to say that? You know, they say that two of the most dangerous tasks that police officers have to carry out on a daily basis are domestic violence calls and traffic stops. And so maybe this is a measure to protect the police officers if they don’t have to pull the citizenry over for these so-called minor things. Maybe it’ll turn out to be a good thing. We’ll have to revisit this in a year or two, because then the citizenry won’t feel like the population won’t feel like they’re being harassed by officers for minor things, and police officers won’t have to pull people over and be put in these dangerous situations as much anymore.

[MCG]

I. More criminals fall through the crack, at least in my head. That’s what’s gonna happen. Anyway, still listening to remove embarrassed podcast we in the middle of another bonkers episode. We’ll be right back.

[MCG]

All right. Well, Jay, what’s your her second article, I guess.

[Jay]

Second article. Yep, second article here is from the New York Post as well. Washington State Mayor destroys LGBTQ plus activists who complained about City Hall flying, POW, Mia flag, prisoner of war slash missing in action. Flag, so this probably goes hand in hand with the last article with issues with flags and what flags can be flown where a Washington state mayor scolded an LGBTQ plus activist who was outraged that the prisoner of war slash missing an action flag was allowed to fly over City Hall, but the Pride flag was. Not OK. I I was gonna say something, but I’ll just come. Back to it. How do you even put those two on the same level, but OK? Newcastle Mayor Robert Clark was berated by activists at a public hearing Tuesday night as citizens of the city, about 12 miles from Seattle, were upset over the Council’s decision last year to stop the Pride flag from being flown at City Hall during Pride Month. Toward the end of the three hour session, an activist stood in front of the council and called Clark quote Disgusting and claimed he and some of the elected city officials were trying to quote trick people out of believing the Pride flag can’t be flown by flying the prisoner of war, missing an action flag. There are 82,000 Americans registered as POW’s and MI A’s. But there’s 20 million minimum LGBTQ members, the activists said. I’ve talked before about the hypocrisy, and I think that your approach to trying to trick people out of having to fly the pride flag in June by making sure that the POWMIA flags was flown is really disgusting. This is the activist speak. Looking, she then told clerk and the City Council that they should be ashamed of the decision as she walked away from the podium, her car meant sparked a fire inside Clark, who immediately called her out for suggesting that the city was using the flag as a political stunt. And this is him speaking, he said. It’s not common that I respond to public comment, but I will not sit here. And have somebody tell me that veterans are a political stunt. How dare you? The mayor declared. The country was founded because veterans lost their lives. Hundreds of thousands of people died for this country. So you could fly your pride flag. Ma’am, I am. And he used. Not so friendly word to describe how and. There he is. Clark then told the woman to never disparage veterans in his presence again, those 82,000 people who never came home will never have a chance to have a family or grow up. While you can fly your pride flag, they sacrificed their lives all over the world for America and for freedom around the world, he said. The outraged mayor told the activists that he tolerated her. Comments in person and on Facebook in the past, claiming they were always on the attack and libelous as he delivered a stern message to the group. You probably can’t help yourself, but don’t you ever disparage veterans in front of me? Clark reiterated as it appeared that she or someone in the crowd tried to respond. And and to shut them up. He was like we’re done and he moved on to the next speaker. And so the fact that they would even put those two flags on the same level, again, we’re talking about people who have lost touch with reality, who have lost their minds. We know this is a bonkers episode. These people are bonkers. I think it’s absolutely crazy. And we. Walked into a store that actually had the table set for prisoners of war, and those that are missing in action, and it’s the small thing that a nation can do to constantly keep in our memory. Those men and women.

Chris.

[Jay]

That did what their country asked them to do and never came home. Some of them never came home, and some of them were held as prisoners on foreign soil. So it’s a small thing to fly a flag or to set that extra seat. That extra table there to remember them. Tomb of the Unknown soldier. All of these things. Every country. Has these things to remember people who sacrificed, and in many instances paid the ultimate price, so I’m not sure I understand what the activist point is, because the flag, the LGBTQIA plus flag represent. Spiritually and socially detrimental behavior, it’s a whole identity based on sexual perversion. How is that any way comparable to a flag honoring prisoners of war and those that? Missing in action who have never returned home.

[MCG]

But the question is, why wouldn’t they think that the LGBTQIA plus flag is on par or even above? Their prisoner of war flag, why would they not think that?

[Jay]

Why would they not think that? You mean considering how the nation practically went belly up for a while. They’ve lost their minds before.

[MCG]

Mm-hmm. I think the nation is still belly up, but maybe a little bit better on the Trump board. It’s still belly up because again, my point is this is their prisoner of war flag being flown at the White House.

[Jay]

Well. Perhaps.

[MCG]

I don’t know if it is it is OK.

[Jay]

Yes, yes. I would be. Floored and flabbergasted if it isn’t, and actually I should say as I’m scrolling through the article here, there is a picture of the flag being flown. Over the White House right now. So OK.

[MCG]

OK, I guess my point is this, when you have been flying their LGBTQ flag at the White House and at the Capitol building and at embassies all around the world and all of a sudden now you move it and you just have the prisoner of war.

[Jay]

Mm-hmm.

[MCG]

Flag I can understand why they’re outraged, because for years we have been telling them, I guess, that their flag is as important, not just as the prisoner of war flag, but yeah, almost as equal as the US flag, yeah.

[Jay]

It’s not superior to it if these people would have their way. They would fly it, you know.

[MCG]

So that’s the issue. There is the outrageous acceptance of it. You know, I said before one time they were asking for tolerance. They when they got it, they asked for acceptance when they got it, they asked for preeminence.

[Jay]

3 minutes, right?

[MCG]

And now that’s where we at, yeah.

[Jay]

See, this is how detached these people are from reality. No one agrees with them anymore. I just read an article actually that I probably should have brought up in connection to this article. How major brands are pulling back from supporting LGBTQ pride events and those kinds of things now because they know that the nation, the silent majority, is speaking up now, the overwhelming majority of America doesn’t agree with the aggressive. Pushing of this agenda of this ideology, her language there, she said. I’ve talked about the hypocrisy. I think that your approach. No, no, that’s not the one. I’m sorry. Let me pull it. Up here, something about having to fly the pride flag. Something like you have to fly the pride flag during Pride Month is really disgusting and I’m thinking we don’t have to do anything for your ideology. You’re not entitled to flying. You’re disgusting flag on any government property for any reason and the fact that you think. That you’re entitled to that, that you’re Kim feel like they’re entitled to that. Hookers we don’t agree with you.

[MCG]

Well, as I said, these people have gotten their way and quite honestly, I think the retailer is is not that they agree is that they watching their bottom line and I guess yeah, at this point with Trump in office and the country seemed like at least somewhat leaning on Republican values. I guess they acquiesce, but in a couple of years and a Democratic president go in. In 2029, when the next version is 1 in and if it’s not someone that will continue the current administration values, it’s going to swing all the way back. I’m not convinced that any 2 chains are happened, but that’s that’s my opinion.

[Jay]

Yeah, this. Yeah, I think you’re absolutely right about that. Corporate folks are going to do what’s good for corporate. And right now it’s just. Not there’s been quite a bit of backlash, particularly in the cultural war against pride, and so they’re not going to. This is from CNN not too long ago for the last several years, Pride Month was a splashy marketing event for big brands. But this pride month that is this year 2025, many retail chains are going to go quiet. And this has actually been happening for a long time. I walked into a local target just because we got gift cards from there and all of the. Crazy stuff that had me pull away from target years ago. They’re all gone. Target is almost back to normal now. And I agree with you that this has to be a spiritual and cultural, like a personal change in the country for this change to stick. Because if it’s just corporations doing what is financially expedient, then it’s not going to. It’s only a temporary change. It’s not going to last. But it says here that companies are treading lightly, avoiding prominent campaigns and. Visible public support 39% say they plan to scale back Pride Month engagements this year, and that’s a survey of more than 200 corporate executives done by gravity research or risk management advisor. This includes sponsoring pride events, posting supportive messages about LGBTQ rights which you don’t have any, but whatever on social media and the selling of pride themed merchandise. So it’s not just those things they’re pulling back on all of that sort of thing. They are wary of provoking right wing customers and activists, and I think this is a correction because what happened with Bud Light. And the whole Dylan Mulvaney situation will probably be taught in business schools for the next however many decades, centuries. Because it’s so rare to see a company tumble so far down lose so much market share has such a terrible PR disaster on their hands as a result of one person, one ideology that they decided to go full on for and to have to pay such a heavy financial price. And so I think. Operations looked at that as a cautionary tale, and they’re doing what’s best for them, for the bottom line, and that’s great. That’s a start, but it’s not enough. It’s kind of like Trump going in there and just kind of correcting everything by executive. Order. It’s not going to stick unless Congress gets in there and passes some laws to enshrine what he’s been trying to do. To put it into law. To pass laws in order for that to be the reality. But the idea somehow that you know, we’re obligated to fly pride flags and we’re obligated to do this, obligated to do that. You’re right. Why wouldn’t they think that as you said? Before, why wouldn’t they think that? And I think it’s high time that and I’m grateful for the people that are doing this stand up and say, hey, no more, that’s it. That’s enough. We’re not going along with your delusion any longer, so I say. The Lord sit down and be quiet. I really think that’s what needs to happen here because she felt comfortable enough to stand up and berate mayors and other council members, as though you have to do this, which shows just the bubble in the La La land these people are living in.

[MCG]

Well, yeah, but I think but like issue was that they didn’t realize they weren’t Apple or Walmart or something. So well anyways.

[Jay]

OK, yours.

[MCG]

My next article and parents this one might be a little bit too much for young years, but. Be 1 New York. Dad killed his pregnant wife and stabbed his two young daughters because he wanted a son.

[Jay]

Oh, I can’t engage with this. Ohh.

[MCG]

Ma’am. All right, an upstate New York dad fatally stabbed his pregnant wife and then tried to kill his two young daughters just because he was angry. He wasn’t going to have a son. According to the slain woman’s father, Drew Gardenier. And I think I’m saying it incorrectly because. French, 33, admitted to repeatedly stabbing his five months pregnant wife Samantha Gardner, 29, and their children Easy 6 and Adelina, 9, in the bloodbath at the family’s home in Masonville on September 4th last year. That will be 2024, according to the Delaware County. District attorney’s office, his wife and the unborn child both died in the attack, which was just weeks before the mum was to turn. The young girls are recovering from significant injuries the day said. Gardner, killed in anger that his wife was again pregnant with a girl. Samantha’s grieving father gets at his Gregory Vernon, Gallo said in a victim impact statement. At sentencing, he wanted a boy. Gardner pleaded guilty last month to 1st degree manslaughter. On two columns of first degree assault. Both Class B violent felonies. He was sentenced last week to 30 years in prison with 15 years post release supervision as part of the plea deal amended to protecting the surviving daughters from the trauma of a child, we were able to secure the conviction without forcing young children to testify about their. Perfect things the Witness District Attorney Sean Smith said of the sentence being lighter than he wanted. The killer dad was also forbidden from seeing his daughters until 2056, the maximum allowed, which only the girls can overrule if they eventually want contact. You took a life and enjoyed your children. They had the right to expect protection from you, Judge John Hubbard told the dad of the decades long no contact order. Samantha Gardner was due to give birth in February, which will be February 2025. Her daughters are still recovering from their injuries and have been adopted by their maternal grandfather. I am their father now Fernald, Gallo said at the sentences. I will protect them according to their grandfather. So of course, this is a heinous crime and everything, and this guy probably didn’t do intro to biology. So, not realizing that he’s the one who contributes and somewhat determined, well, that’s not true. To be fair, if I’m gonna talk about basic biology, it’s random. So about 50% of their milga meat would be X and about 50% of it will be Y and is a risk to the finish is a random. So I guess his exes are just a little bit faster than his Y’s. So maybe didn’t do basic biology, but to take it this far could to some degree it go to some weird but to some degree I’ve always wanted a girl and I have 4 boys and they’re not like the girl that I was. Looking for. But I have no plan to kill them and kill nobody because I got four boys. I love them and take care of them and they grow up and maybe they will have some granddaughters. Who knows. But this is just well-being. And I would like to have a boy I would like to have a girl. It’s ridiculous.

[Jay]

My goodness.

[MCG]

Enemies.

[Jay]

I can’t even. What do I even say to that? That’s just heinous and evil. Why was he only charged with manslaughter?

[MCG]

He wasn’t charging my thought. The reason why the sentencing was like that, as the other explained, is because in order to convict him of anything more, or at least to go to trial, his daughters are a witness.

[Jay]

They don’t want to put the daughters on the stand and re victimize them. OK, I think I understand that now.

[MCG]

One the kids do so.

[Jay]

Man, I don’t even know what to say to that. My goodness.

[MCG]

Yeah, it’s. I want this is a step higher, but there’s many many step higher of. What would you like to have? Oh, I like to have a girl. I would like to have a boy. You know, everybody kind of at least saying people like, you know. But if you get the opposite of what you want, everybody kind of like, OK, well, it’s my kid. I love the kid and take care of the kid as much as. It blow my mind that it will actually go to that level. Maybe he’s thinking, OK, I have two and hopefully get a boy and maybe they already said after this we’re not gonna have anymore and he fell. OK, I’m going to be stuck with three girls. If you had known me could actually before.

[Jay]

Swap. Can I go back to this whole manslaughter thing? I understand that they don’t want to put the children through the trauma of having to be a witness. And I agree with that. But yeah, the article said first degree manslaughter. But why would they even need the daughters to testify? Don’t.

[MCG]

Did the other could say manslaughter?

[Jay]

Especially with the mountain of evidence against him.

[MCG]

Well, I don’t know if there’s money enough evidence against him. I don’t know what the evidence against him. He went into the plea deal. But remember, there’s a different level of proof in court. You know, so I guess the figure in order for them to prove he did what he did, of course they can’t force him to testify against them. Who witnessed what he did? The girls? I don’t know. I’m no lawyer, but I guess.

[Jay]

So in a situation like that, in order to prove culpability for murder, you need testimony. That’s what I’m getting at. Like, the evidence is not enough. I don’t know how these things work.

[MCG]

Again. I guess, or he just had a good defense lawyer that say, hey, we will go into a plea deal if you stuff. And the prosecution was kind of like, well, let’s do it. So we don’t traumatize the girls.

Yeah.

[Jay]

Anymore. I understand. Ohh awful.

[MCG]

So I don’t know. I think this sentence is a. With lights, you know, 30 years and then I think.

[Jay]

15 years probation after that, you know I can’t.

[MCG]

I don’t know, but whatever the case may be. But yeah, it’s one of those I don’t even know what said here because as I said, this is just a completely different level of wanting a girl or boy completely different level.

[Jay]

He’s bonkers. There had to have been something else. There had to have been some argument or something, I.

[MCG]

Can’t. My guess is this. They already have two they have in the third, probably with some kind of discussion that, hey, this is our last.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[MCG]

Hopefully I get my boy. Well, it’s a girl. It’s your last.

[Jay]

Then he flies off.

[MCG]

The handle. That’s what I’m guessing. Yeah, that’s what I’m guessing. But of course, I don’t know. Anyways, what’s your next?

[Jay]

I have one here that the title. OK let me just read it. 334 LB man sues Walt Disney World over injuries sustained on water slide that allegedly didn’t support. His weight.

[MCG]

OK.

[Jay]

A man was allegedly injured after an ill-fated trip down a water slide at Walt Disney World. And he sued the theme park giant for $50,000 in damages, even though he was more than 30 lbs. Over the rides weight limit at the time in the lawsuit that was filed, Eugene Strickland claims that he’s still struggling in the aftermath with catastrophic injuries that he sustained after riding a downhill double dipper at. Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park in July of 2021. At the time, Strickland weighed 334 lbs, according to the complaint, which put him just over the rights £300 limit. It is unclear if he was warned about or aware of the weight limit before going down the slide. Strickland allegedly became momentarily airborne on the water slide before eventually landing with force. Onto the hard plastic surface of the slide. After losing control of the inner tube that he was writing in, according to the complaint. The lawsuit pins blame on the water slides designed and exhilarating speeds, according to the complaint, Strickland asserts that he suffers serious bodily injury, pain, suffering, disability, etcetera, etcetera. He’s seeking $50,000 in damages. He claimed that Disney World was directly negligent for failing to establish safe premises and that it was well aware. Of the safety hazard and the quote concealed trap that the water slide presented. OK.

[MCG]

Yeah. Let me say, let me just say this. I agree with this.

[Jay]

Why?

[MCG]

What? Go ahead.

[Jay]

No, no, no, no, no. You go ahead. Please explain. How do you?

[MCG]

Agree. Why do I agree? With him? Yes, I’d love to hear. This one what do you go to these parks? They have kids. They mention them and make sure they meet the height requirement to go on these rides and whatever the case may be. Well, if there’s a weight limit. Why don’t you weigh people to you? I agree with this guy. They let him on. He’s not the one that should be policing this. They’re policing this, the teenager, they have their that are taking people high. It’s not that difficult to get an electronic scale. As a matter of fact, what they should. Is even make it more subtle. The final landing where you have to stand just before you go on the ride.

[Jay]

Should be a.

[MCG]

Weight make it an electronic scale that goes directly to the teenagers phone, so when they stand on. There. Boop boop. Boop. Get some kind of a beep on their phone. Oh, 333 lbs. I’m sorry, Sir. You’re over the width. Commit of taking this right. I agree with him.

[Jay]

OK, so this actually the reason I pulled this. I pulled this article is because it highlights the problem in our society. It’s the fear of man, right. The right operator would probably not be caught dead. Or even put himself in a position to be blamed, as though he were fat, shaming someone, asking for someone’s weight before allowing them to go on the ride. So at the expense of this person, say. 50 and the interest of political correctness and being well, what if there’s that culture of not stating the obvious, not checking the obvious in order to not offend your customers, so that they come back and spend money at your theme park? Not.

[MCG]

Well, you should be fired. Was there clearly posted signs saying the weight limit?

[Jay]

Well, Disney World would always have. I don’t mean to sound like I’m a corporate shill, just kind of defending a corporation. But I frequented Walt Disney World. A lot. Let’s just say at least once a year, if not twice a year, when I was a kid, there are signs posted everywhere about everything.

[MCG]

I’m still on the sky side.

[Jay]

So all I’m saying is what I’m really pointing at is we’ve created an environment, a cultural environment where you can’t say offensive things, even if it’s for the person’s safety even it’s for the person’s good. You can’t say offensive things. I would remind the list. Or or just remind people that not even three years ago there was a 14 year old boy who died on an attraction. It wasn’t at Disney World. This was on one of the attractions on I-4 on an attraction because the safety mechanism on the ride could not engage because of his size and because of his. Wait. He was a very, very big boy, apparently played football, so he was the size of a man, like an NFL player. Just a big, big, big, big kid. And they let him on there anyway. And this mechanism failed and he fell to his death. I don’t think that was negligence. Well, it was negligence in the sense that no one stopped him. But it wasn’t like a ohh, you know, I forgot to check him. It was more like a. Yeah, I don’t think I want to say anything because it’s not politically correct sort of thing. And I think that that’s what’s bonkers. The fact that we are not able to speak truth one to another any longer is is bonkers.

[MCG]

Yeah, there’s some aspect of where you should say, hey, I know I. 6 feet 10 inches. I know I am £350. Let me not go on things that are meant for small people. You know, I remember years ago. I don’t know what happened with this, but Shaquille O’Neal. I know if he was being sued or he got in some a little bit social hot water because. You know he’s a jovial, joking kind of guy and he will hit people and to him, you know or, you know, bump into people or whatever case would be. And to him, you know, he’s as small as a bump, but when you’re.

[Jay]

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[MCG]

7172300 and 20 lbs. A+ and you’re bumping into people with much smaller for him than you. You’re probably hurting them more. Remember that scene in Incredibles when when Mr. Incredible hit froze on? I said just like the old time. And he said yeah, it hurt back then too.

[Jay]

Yeah. Don’t know his own strength. Kind of. Thing and yeah.

[MCG]

Right kind of thing. So maybe there was posted signed there say £300 limit and he noted he was over that and he still go on there but at the same time if McDonald’s can be sued and lost because they serve hot coffee to someone who ordered hot coffee and they got burned.

[Jay]

Ohh yeah I remember.

[MCG]

Why is it that Disney shouldn’t be sued? Because I think Disney should just circled and say hey.

[Jay]

Now.

They will.

[MCG]

Here’s $100,000 or whatever it is. Go away and then implement what I say because what I’m saying is not hard to implement. Simply when they standard that last area of just before they get under the right or slide or whatever case may be. If you want to make it bold, pop it up so everybody could see. Or if you want to be discrete, let’s say pop-up flash and the iPad or something that the people can say. Sorry.

[Jay]

I’m sure they will.

[MCG]

Sir, you’re a bit overweight for the ride. If you would sign this waiver, you can have the ride, or if not, I’m sorry you can’t be on the ride. They do that for kids right now. If the kids is not tall enough, they say you can go on the ride at certain role. Posters. If a slide has a weight limit, you know. Yeah. Again, I’m sure you enjoyed it, right? You know what? You’re born and everything. And probably was a good general trailer. Whatever.

[Jay]

Or maybe just make people sign a waiver at the point of purchase when they purchase their tickets that if they go on a ride and they are beyond the height limit or the weight limit or whatever, that they bear the sole responsibility for their injury, something along those lines. Practically, I don’t see how you can have them sign a waiver before each ride, because then you know, how do you get the name? How can you confirm their name? You gotta go back and get your ID. And it’s a water park, so no one’s gonna be carrying the idea on them. So it could be that whole thing, but perhaps that’s what Disney needs to do. And I am not defending Disney because. Disney’s A multi million, probably even multibillion dollar company. This is a drop in the bucket for them. It’s a water spray for them. It’s not a big deal, but at the same time there needs to be. A. Little bit of self-awareness, a little bit of introspection, a little bit of self accountability to know that perhaps you shouldn’t be riding a ride that you can’t meet the weight limit.

[MCG]

Yeah. So like room mate with this guy, but anyways.

[Jay]

OK.

[MCG]

Alright. Do you have any dishonorable mentions?

[Jay]

I just have one. The title is called Sanity returns as feds condemned transgender treatments for kids. I didn’t bring this one up because we talked about how LGBTQ is wearing off and how companies are stepping back. Governments are beginning to stand up against the trans ideology, but it is just crazy that it took this long for them to realize that trends we shouldn’t be transiting the kids, so that’s that’s honorable mention there.

[MCG]

Alright, well I have a couple here. I think this happened in Switzerland. Stroke patient here. Doctors discussed organ donation. So this man had a son. Book rushed to the hospital and it seems to be very bad. Brain was falling and all this stuff and they figured that either lost cause but you could hear.

[Jay]

Wow.

[MCG]

And the doctors were standing over him discussing how they could donate his organs.

[Jay]

Wow.

[MCG]

Yep, that one is kind of wet. I can understand when people say. Hey my loved ones are gonna be organ donors because these doctors, like they’re all for blood. But anyways, Yikes. Emmanuel Macron’s wife seen shoving him in the face in viral clips as France first couple arrived in Vietnam. So some domestic abuse. I guess they’re going on in the French first.

[Jay]

Mm-hmm.

[MCG]

Couple.

[Jay]

Hmm.

[MCG]

Anyways, I’ll leave that is there and then the last one I have. Bride, shocked as grew mysteriously vanished minutes after wedding and she discovered his dark secret. And then she said he was in love with her life. What really happened? They have been shaking up for 5-6 years, I think. Before they got married, got married and they had the wedding, he van. Before they could go on their honeymoon and she finally found out what happened is that he actually had another woman. So.

[Jay]

Oh, no, why would you go through the whole wedding for some one other woman when you already have another woman?

[MCG]

Well, he was having a fear, the article said. But whatever that means. But.

[Jay]

Ohh no. OK Yikes.

[MCG]

Well, anyways, as we always asking this episode, do you agree with us? And now this question might be redundant, but do you agree with us? But if you agree with us, I must ask again. What are you doing about it? I will declare that this world hath gone bonkers, and I will declare that you know what these many news articles that we have looked. At. Show in some small way that we are dealing with some crazy folks. Out. There some bunkers folks out there, but what are you doing about it? I think the only thing that can turn around this is that we start to rate our Jerusalem.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[MCG]

With the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That we go and obey Max 1615, go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature and maybe we can bring back some sort of sanity to our country. Maybe we can somehow reverse the rapid Russian Tours Act, chapter 17 culture. And maybe make it maybe more of acts Chapter 2. Even better yet, a biblically Christian culture where people know the true God of Creation and his son Jesus Christ.
