All righty, hello again and welcome to it. It is the Derrick Hitter Podcast for the 23rd of December 2022.

Happy glorious, beautiful, happy, happy joy, joy, Friday to you. Lord knows we all need it.

And man, God knows I do. It's right before Christmas. I hope you're going to have a wonderful Christmas time. I don't mean that terrible Paul McCartney's long kind of way. I mean that genuinely. Don't forget the curse program. I thought about sending this out to everybody as a Christmas gift.

But you know what the week and effort review listening to it the day before Christmas. I'm not for like everybody unsuspecting. Not sure it's going to be that family friendly. So we'll keep it at patreon.com slash Derrick Hunter Podcast and Derrick Hunter dot locals dot com because you know if you're going to be driving in your way to a Christmas thing, you got to consciously want to to hear me rant about stuff and boy, how do you am I going to have some rants this week.

So check that out if you're so inclined to appreciate the support absolutely and always now let's get on with the show lots of stuff to get to a bunch of stuff to talk about as we wrap up every thing for Christmas.

Zelensky, Lord, the mere Zelensky. Oh my goodness. The media. The media has to be dehydrated today. The left wing media in particular, Democrats, just the political left has to be dehydrated today. Now what do I mean by that? It's not some gross sexual thing. Although you're you're free to think that too. It's because they've been slaubering so much in the past 24 hours just drooling all over themselves. Oh, Zelensky.

Oh, Zelensky. Zelensky. Zelensky. It's weird when you have a president in your party and you're sitting there treating this guy in a country nobody really gives a damn about as though he's the greatest leader in the world. They're comparing him to Winston Churchill. My goodness, right before Christmas years ago, decades ago, another world leader addressed a joint session of Congress.

Oh, really? Who was that? Winston Churchill? Why? Zelensky's just like Winston Churchill. If Winston Churchill had shut down opposition press and imprisoned the people who would pose him politically. If he did that, if Churchill did that, he's exactly like Zelensky except, of course, Zelensky is slappered over.

Winston Churchill oversaw a horrible racist empire and is a monster and should have all of his statues and memorials burned to the ground. Nowadays, the new political left, whereas Zelensky, I don't know what they think about Zelensky.

Zelensky celebrates diversity in the way that Democrats, well, in any way, really, but certainly not in the way that the progressive leftist Democrats mean it. They're like, oh, celebrate different, look at Ukraine.

It's like, okay, you got a paint by numbers and it only came with, with, with peach. No, you just even 100 Biden's a little more creative than that. But there's no diversity to be celebrated. They can hate Winston Churchill. All they went, oh my goodness, he oversaw this, that, and the other thing.

Well, opposition in Ukraine is kind of being treated the way that the left would have you believe that all the colonies always were treated by the UK. Always.

I'm not somebody who sits there and demands that people apologize for their colonial past. I, I look at colonialism as, and, and at positive with their bad aspect, you're a controversy. What are you saying, dear? Why, what's what you're saying? No, it's true.

A lot of these countries are further advanced than they otherwise would have been. The infrastructure, things like that, that exist there. Now, were there bad things that came with it? Of course, there were. But it is not all one thing. That's how the left would have, they view things in absolutes. It's really bizarre.

How they, it's just negative, just a negative thing. Okay, well, fine. If you want to think that the people who live there don't necessarily think that it's always the offended by proxy people that you've got to be worrisome about and be aware of.

Anyway, that's a tangent and a rant for another day. Just want to, I watched the Zelensky speech. He did it in English. We've set the guy upwards of approaching $50 billion. And he's ungrateful. It's not enough. He couldn't even bother to pack a suit to come with him.

And if you notice, there's one thing that you do notice about people, world leaders. Now, I'm not a stickler for wearing a suit. I very infrequently wear pants, right? Real pants in any event because I'm a hermit.

But when the occasion calls for it, you put on a jacket, you put on the tie. You do these sorts of things because you have to. It's a show of respect for the people with whom you're associating. If I go on television, for example, I will put on a shirt and tie. Still no pants. But, you know, I'm sitting in my chair.

So there are plenty of times where they said, would you go on television and we'll have to get you to come in studio and say, no, I'm not interested in going on television if I have to leave the house out to it from home. Not because I don't want to wear pants, but again, because I don't like to go anywhere.

But I will do what is appropriate. If you work from home, you probably don't comb your hair all that often. And probably, I mean, keep the snarls out. But when you are doing something, you're going to a funeral, going to a wedding, you'll probably comb your hair. If you work construction, you probably don't have much call for a suit, right?

You're going to get a nail gun, start hammering it some two by fours in a suit. No, you don't do that. But if you're going to court or you're going to a wedding or a funeral or whatever, whatever it is, an anniversary, surprise, anniversary part, maybe you want to consider breaking out a collared shirt at a minimum, you understand that you should dress appropriately for certain things.

That's he had no compunction whatsoever. Why? Because he has a brand. He's wearing is basically is is camo sort of pseudo uniform sort of pseudo military uniform. That's what that is. It's the pale olive green washed out.
