Wake Up and Smell the Conspiracy

Good morning and happy Tuesday! Feeling much better after a solid night's sleep, I'm diving into some fascinating stories that highlight the strange contrasts in our society's priorities.

Did you know that on May 6th, 1941, Bob Hope performed his very first USO show at Marchfield? This launched his legendary career entertaining troops across decades of service. Meanwhile, in today's news, lawmakers seem fixated on permanently changing the name of the "Gulf of America" – prompting questions about why such symbolic gestures take precedence over pressing social issues that impact real lives.

The conversation takes an intriguing turn with former Bush White House official Catherine Austin Fitz's sensational claim that our government secretly spent $21 trillion building approximately 170 underground bunkers across the country. These elaborate subterranean cities allegedly exist to shelter the elite during extinction-level events. While unproven, the story taps into deeper anxieties about government transparency and class divides in crisis preparation. I find myself wondering if there might be truth behind these claims, especially considering documented cases of unauthorized defense spending.

We also explore truly disturbing news, including a South Carolina man who hid in his ex-girlfriend's shower with a knife in what he later claimed was a "prank" to "lighten the mood." This dangerous behavior, along with a controversial Harris County DA who refuses to press charges in serious cases, raises important questions about justice and accountability. The podcast wraps with a lighter discussion of absurdly outdated laws still on Alabama's books – from bans on fake mustaches in church to prohibitions on Sunday domino games. What ridiculous laws exist in your state? Join the conversation and share your thoughts on today's stories!

Speaker 1: 0:15

Well, hello, good morning, happy Tuesday, man, I feel a lot better today. Yesterday I could barely stay awake all day long. We had stayed up a little too late on Sunday watching our cooking shows that we like. They usually go off about 10 o'clock at night and you know, normally I'm asleep between 7 and 8, so I was tired yesterday. Yes, I'm an old person. Anyway, I went home, worked out, ate, showered, went to bed. I think I was asleep 7.15. And I stayed asleep until like 3.30. So I'm good now. All right, we need to move on.

Speaker 1: 0:53

Today, on this day, may 6th 1941, bob Hope hit the stage at Marchfield for his first ever USO show, bringing laughs to the troops and launching a legendary run of wartime entertainment that would span decades. That is out on my Twitter. So now you know. All right, glad to see they're working on something so very important. I roll, I say, on bill enshrining Gulf of America name change into law advances to full House vote and they're very proud of this. They're very proud. A Republican-led House panel advanced legislation Monday that would make the Gulf of America name change permanent. Well, I'm glad they're doing something so very important. Maybe do something about the trans cult ideology and men and women's sports and in women's spaces. How about doing some of these executive orders about this into law? How about that? Let's do that. Let's do something a little bit more substantive. I don't know if I said that word right. You know what I'm talking about. All right, moving on. Oh, this is very interesting and I think this is probably true.

Speaker 1: 2:09

Bush officials claim US built secret $21 trillion underground city for the rich and powerful to live if near extinct, extinction, extinction event happens. I believe this happened. This lady was on tucker carlson, uh, talking about all of this. Now she says she has no proof. Yet she's gonna say it. The federal government has secretly spent trillions building on elaborate network of subterranean cities where the rich and powerful can shelter during a near-extinction event. A former Bush White House official sensationally claimed about 170 such bunkers have been built across the country since 1998, including some resting beneath the oceans off the US coast. What the 74-year-old Catherine Austin Fitz told Tucker Carlson during a recent appearance on his podcast, it's preparation for catastrophe Fitz said. According to Realtorcom, fitz, who served as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George HW Bush from 1989 to 1990, claimed $21 trillion in taxpayer dollars were funneled into the project between 1998 and 2015. She provided no evidence for her claims, but said a 2017 report from michigan state university, economist mark skidmore indicated that such unauthorized spending had been uncovered across the department of defense.

Speaker 1: 3:53

Wow, so what if doge did? Doge uh discovered? I don't know. Do you believe it's true? That is not the question of the day. I believe it's true. I believe they would do something like this. Yes, I do.

Speaker 1: 4:05

There's a book series out there called One Second After One Minute After something like that, and there's all that. It has it in that book too. So, anyway, moving moving on, this guy is ridiculous that I'm about to read about. I don't know, I want to read it and then I'll tell you what I think. All right, south Carolina man hid in his ex-girlfriend's shower and put a knife to her head in an alarming prank to lighten the mood.

Speaker 1: 4:42

According to police, this prank was criminally bad. A South Carolina man allegedly hid in his ex-girlfriend's shower and then emerged with a knife when she got home early Sunday, in an alarming attempt to prank her and lighten the mood he said. According to authorities, lighten the mood. You got a really sick sense of a way of lightening the mood.

Speaker 1: 5:08

Mr Jackson Column, arnold. He was 25 years old used a pair of his ex's bike shorts and a hat to cover most of his face, but was naked from the waist down as he gave his former girlfriend a paralyzing scare. Around midnight, charleston cops alleged the victim accused Arnold of holding a knife to the side of her head and when she pushed him away, he pretended he was slicing her throat, though the knife didn't touch the skin. According to a police report obtained by news outlets, he then allegedly choked her, before the victim yanked the shorts off the suspect's face and discovered the man attacking her was her on again, off again, boyfriend. The victim told police she feared for her life I guess so and thought she was about to be raped inside her garage apartment. Before she saw it was arnold. He apparently went through all of this. Uh, he parked down the street.

Speaker 1: 6:16

I don't think it was a prank. I really think he meant to harm her. If this is an on again, off again and he's just trying to play it, it was a prank. I really think he meant to harm her. If this is an on-again, off-again and he's just trying to play it off as a prank, well, buddy, you're in some major deep crap and I hope she presses charges. I really do. That is some stupid stuff right there. What in the world? He's a dark, dark, dark person. He's a dark person for thinking that this is going to prank, enlighten the mood. What is wrong with him? Not real bright is what I say. All right, let's see. I want to go back and touch on this Harris County District Attorney guy who will not press charges for murder, any kind of murder, any kind of anything on this dude. Who they're, who they're hiding the identity. So I talked about this yesterday on the podcast.

Speaker 1: 7:05

There is um, a person, a man who was killed was zary is his name. He helped the iraq. I think it was iraq. Is the iraqi? No, afghan, afghanistan. Um, isn't he Iraqi? No, afghan Afghanistan. He was over there in Afghanistan helping our US soldiers, you know, do their jobs, and so he got to come over here to the United States when we withdrew and all of that.

Speaker 1: 7:29

But he apparently was killed, gunned down over a parking spot in his apartment complex. Now the story reads that the two got into a confrontation and then Waziri was going on his way back to his car to move it, whatever. Then the other guy went and got a gun. So he had time to cool down to come and he got his gun, came back and shot him down, shot him down, shot him dead and they won't identify the suspect and they're not going to press charges. What in the world? The guy is back the hours later was already back, or woman, whatever was already back in the apartment complex. Is it a cop? What's going on here? Nobody's above the law. They like to scream. Well, the Harris County District guy the new guy Tear is his name T-E-A-R-E. He is a Democrat and on his website, proudly raised by activist parents and he's a Democrat. I looked up his affiliate, his political affiliate, definitely a Democrat, and so he's also Harris County DA this is another story from May 2nd Dismisses criminal charges against former public health director Barbie Robinson.

Speaker 1: 8:47

So he is in there just dropping all kinds of charges, not charging people, and you have to go look up the story and see the people to know what I'm talking about. This. Barbie Robinson, who is 55, was indicted last year on four felony charges stemming from an investigation by the Texas Rangers and the county DA's office, which at the time was led by Kim Ogg. The new district attorney, sean Teer, says the charges cannot be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and so he's dropping all the charges against this lady. So somebody needs to look into this. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1: 9:29

All right, we need to move to the question of the day what is the dumbest law you have in your state? Now I had to look up some here in Alabama. I don't know if these are still in effect, I don't know. Alabama has several laws that are considered strange and outdated, including prohibit prohibitions on throwing confetti in Mobile. Now, mobile, you can't throw confetti, even during the Mardi Gras. Wearing a fake mustache in church and playing dominoes on Sunday? What? I'm going to play dominoes on Sunday just so I can break a law. Fake mustaches in church. Wearing a fake mustache that causes laughter in churches, against the law. Who would do this anyway? What in the world? Playing dominoes on Sunday? Okay. Blindfolding while driving. They had to make a law against being blindfolded when you drive. I swear these people are probably up in DC right now. All right, those are your questions of the day. What is your dumbest law you have on records in your state? Okay, I gotta go. Thanks for listening. Love y'all, bye.
