| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, David here. What you're about to hear is an episode of the bonus show. We do a bonus show every day for our members and for a limited time. We will release one of the week's bonus shows on Saturdays exclusively for our audio podcast listeners. If you'd like to get access to all of the bonus shows, simply sign up at join packman.com. |
| 0:23.6 | Here is that bonus show episode. |
| 0:26.6 | Welcome to the bonus show. |
| 0:33.6 | This is a wild story. |
| 0:35.6 | A US immigration agent has testified that despite wearing a ballistic |
| 0:40.5 | vest when that infamous sandwich was thrown at him by a dc protester he could feel it and that the |
| 0:48.6 | sandwich exploded and that the smell of onion and mustard pervaded his uniform. You know, Pat, when we |
| 0:57.5 | covered this incident to begin with, I said, I am not in favor of going and assaulting officers, |
| 1:05.0 | right? And even if it's a sandwich, it is still an assault and I am against it. But describing this as an explosion, it, the testimony is sort of funny, I have to admit. |
| 1:17.6 | Absolutely. |
| 1:18.6 | I mean, crimes are almost never funny, but I feel like this is the exception because we know that |
| 1:23.2 | nobody got hurt here. |
| 1:24.7 | It's just the officer's ego that got assaulted here. And that's what |
| 1:29.9 | this story is over. The fact that this guy was humiliated because he had a sandwich thrown at him |
| 1:34.9 | and the Trump administration more broadly has been humiliated by this incident. I understand why |
| 1:39.7 | the grand jury refused to return an indictment for a felony charges against this man. |
| 1:47.4 | And this is just now being prosecuted as a misdemeanor. |
| 1:49.6 | But there's a whole bunch of interesting details to it, including how this guy had to testify |
| 1:55.0 | about the smell and how they did a reenactment in court about the incident, even though |
| 2:00.4 | why would we need a reenactment when there's video clear as day as to what happened. So it's just a bizarre story. But, you know, you can't be throwing sandwiches at people. I think that is true. You can't the the reenactment despite having video is a really funny thing. Also, can you imagine if that sandwich had had hot peppers on it? We would be talking about a whole. Then it probably would be a felony. May have created some third degree burns for that officer. Honestly, if there's a crime that took place here, a serious crime, it's the fact that that guy decided to spend money on Subway in the first place. Now, maybe he bought that sandwich knowing he wasn't going |
| 2:34.5 | to eat it because he was going to throw it at someone, in which case, okay, that's a little |
| 2:37.7 | bit more acceptable. But if he purchased that sandwich from Subway intending to eat it later, |
