Locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness.

The government gives them the drugs, bills bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law,

and then wants us to sing God bless America.

No, no, no, not God bless America.

God damn America that's in the Bible for killing innocent people.

God damn America for treating her citizens as less than human.

God damn America as long as she tries to act like she is proud and she is supreme.

Okay, you know what?

I want to start off this episode by promoting our Patreon, which is something I feel like sometimes I don't do enough.

Don't assert myself and try to promote our little show here. But the reason I'm saying that is because, you know, last week

when I was in Vegas or whatever a few days ago and we talked, I feel like we got, we got,

we made some really good points. And I think so as well. I think it's a good episode. I think like we got we got we made some really good points and I think so as well.

I think it's a good episode. I think we really fleshed out some of the complexities of what's

going on to the discourse right now. And I really think if people like are our fans and they're on the

fence, go check that shit out. I think you'll enjoy it. And the reason i say that is because this is the only story like we're going to just be talking about

israel and palestine for a minute right and you know there is a cycle to podcasting and i feel like

i really got out some of what i wanted to say and it would be redundant

to do it again on the weekend episode and I'm looking at our set list here and I'm like,

you know what? This one's going to be a little bit goofier. There's some real dumb shit happening.

It's going to be funny. But I don't know. I don't want to repeat myself, but there's

just stuff that we were talking about this from rolling around in my head, like, about the

like politicized mourning and stuff like that. I think it was good. So that's it. That's my plug.
