In this episode the host updates the set and delivers a fiery rant about free speech, recent police action over social media posts, censorship concerns (including TikTok and Israel), and sharp critiques of political figures and policies — from New York mayoral politics to Illinois taxes and tolls.

The show also calls out EBT abuse, announces a twice-weekly schedule and the new "Hammer of Hope" segment spotlighting teen hero Dalton Surby, and promotes the podcast's social channels and the Heathen Drops project.

Viewer discretion is advised. The following content includes graphic imagery and mature themes.

00:00:31.361 --> 00:00:35.541
This isn't for the weak. And yes, feelings will get hurt.

00:00:35.981 --> 00:00:40.421
So brace yourself and welcome to the Hammer Drops.

00:00:50.461 --> 00:00:56.901
Hey welcome to another episode folks as you can see some stuff is a little bit different now just.

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:01.700
You know, trying to make it a little bit fucking more modern, I guess, you know.

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.040
I mean, hey, it was great for so long just having some fucking the black in

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.820
the curtains back there and, you know, just some stupid shit.

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:13.880
But I figure I want to give you guys something to look at and something that

00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:15.620
reflects who the fuck I am.

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.140
I mean, as you can see, I mean, by everything that I have, I have a very Nordic

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:26.500
influence, if you want to call it that. Sorry, because that's,

00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:30.620
I mean, I'm Scandinavian by heritage and, you know, Irish.

00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:36.900
So, and I take this shit very seriously, which you'll find out on the next episode

00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:40.080

Anywhere you watch or listen to this episode.

00:03:05.812 --> 00:03:08.972
Now that we've done the self-promotion and it's out of the fucking way,

00:03:09.152 --> 00:03:11.612
as you can see behind me, it's a little bit of updates.

00:03:11.752 --> 00:03:15.592
Like I was explaining in the beginning as a reflection of who I am.

00:03:17.052 --> 00:03:23.212
So that one episode that I did this with Cliff should be released possibly Thursday.

00:03:23.212 --> 00:03:25.012
I will let you guys know for sure.

00:03:26.112 --> 00:03:30.912
A lot of stuff's in the works. My mind goes a million miles a minute, as you can tell.

00:03:30.912 --> 00:03:36.572
I'm kind of all over the place, but right now what I want to talk about is we

00:03:36.572 --> 00:03:42.432
all have heard what has happened over there in Texas with the gentleman having the police,

00:03:42.672 --> 00:03:46.272
and I believe it's some federal agents that came over there,

00:03:46.632 --> 00:03:50.612
over a post that was made on Twitter.

00:03:50.612 --> 00:03:54.932
And this post that was on twitter which is really weird because it went against

00:03:54.932 --> 00:04:00.492
israel and this should raise the alarm for every single fucking american out

00:04:00.492 --> 00:04:04.032
there right now for all you that think that this stuff isn't going on that this

00:04:04.032 --> 00:04:05.432
won't happen here in the states,

00:04:06.052 --> 00:04:11.392
you guys must be deaf dumb and blind not to believe that because it's been happening

00:04:11.392 --> 00:04:17.232
and i'll explain that but if you look at other countries that this has been happening to like,

00:04:17.812 --> 00:04:22.712
over there in the UK, up in Canada, when things happen in those countries,

00:04:22.932 --> 00:04:26.232
it's just, you know, see how it goes.

00:04:26.412 --> 00:04:29.792
And then as soon as it happens, America is going to adopt it.

00:04:30.052 --> 00:04:34.632
And that's kind of what's happening right now. And I'm not for that at all.

00:04:34.772 --> 00:04:38.592
I believe in our First Amendment rights, freedom of speech.

00:04:39.312 --> 00:04:43.992
And you know what? I don't care if you like or dislike Israel.

00:04:44.512 --> 00:04:48.532
If you want to make, you know, if you have a post that you want to do,

00:04:48.632 --> 00:04:51.532
especially on fucking, you know, Twitter, it's like, come on,

00:04:51.752 --> 00:04:53.812
you should be, that's your freedom of speech.

00:04:53.932 --> 00:04:58.692
You should be allowed to express yourself on however you want to. And nobody should...

00:04:59.679 --> 00:05:05.359
But at no way, shape, and form should the police come to your door and knock

00:05:05.359 --> 00:05:08.559
on it and, you know, not threaten to arrest.

00:05:08.719 --> 00:05:11.459
Thank God. I mean, that's happening over in the UK where people are getting

00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:13.219
arrested over post and in Canada.

00:05:13.979 --> 00:05:17.699
It hasn't happened here yet from what I know of right now.

00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:21.239
But it almost seems like we're knocking on the door of that.

00:05:21.239 --> 00:05:26.759
And when people are protesting other shit, other bullshit, it blows my mind

00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.199
because that's the type of things that you should be out there protesting against.

00:05:30.599 --> 00:05:36.439
That right there is, you know, borderline, almost fucking dictatorship.

00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.139
You know, I didn't vote for that. You know, and I know other Americans,

00:05:41.479 --> 00:05:44.359
you know, the other 60, 70 million Americans that, you know,

00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:47.379
that voted for Trump didn't vote for shit like that.

00:05:47.539 --> 00:05:52.439
We should all be allowed to express ourselves freely without the persecution

00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.539
or worry about being arrested for.

00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:58.259
I mean, hell, that's what America was founded on, right? I mean, come on.

00:05:59.099 --> 00:06:02.879
So now we have to worry about that. And for those of you that think that we

00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.739
haven't been having to worry about that, let's roll it back to 2020,

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.139
2019 during the COVID era.

00:06:11.559 --> 00:06:14.719
When that was going on, we were all told to stay in our homes,

00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.859
wear a mask, have to stay six feet away from each other.

00:06:18.755 --> 00:06:21.795
You know, you can't leave your home. And if you do, you know,

00:06:21.835 --> 00:06:26.935
you go out on a beach, you're being arrested. And people were arrested at that

00:06:26.935 --> 00:06:31.775
time for going out on the beach when they're the only fucking people there, you know?

00:06:32.035 --> 00:06:36.375
So that was the test run, folks. And y'all fucking fell for it.

00:06:37.255 --> 00:06:42.535
And here we are right back in that fucking cycle to where you're going to fall for it again.

00:06:42.775 --> 00:06:47.875
And you're not doing nothing about it. You know, people like myself can only

00:06:47.875 --> 00:06:50.815
do so much to bring attention to these issues.

00:06:51.155 --> 00:06:56.835
It takes everybody to stand together to actually accomplish something.

00:06:57.835 --> 00:07:01.275
And if this type of thing bothers you, it should.

00:07:01.755 --> 00:07:07.535
It really should. And I don't care if you voted for Trump, number one. I don't give a fuck.

00:07:07.715 --> 00:07:10.775
I don't care if you voted for Kamala Harris. this is

00:07:10.775 --> 00:07:13.995
a sticking point that we all should be rallying behind

00:07:13.995 --> 00:07:16.855
each other on we should not

00:07:16.855 --> 00:07:19.615
allow something like this to happen you know

00:07:19.615 --> 00:07:25.115
and i i don't and see this is why i don't support politicians you know i vote

00:07:25.115 --> 00:07:29.875
on whoever i think is going to be the best person for the job whoever's going

00:07:29.875 --> 00:07:38.455
to you know make our country as good as it can be without people suffering you know,

00:07:39.075 --> 00:07:43.815
And that's why I voted the way I did, because that's what I thought was going

00:07:43.815 --> 00:07:46.175
to happen. And this isn't buyer's remorse.

00:07:46.295 --> 00:07:51.575
It isn't because there are things that he is doing that I do agree with and I do like.

00:07:52.532 --> 00:07:59.072
But there are things that I don't, especially this. Listen, I don't like Israel. I don't.

00:07:59.532 --> 00:08:04.612
I think they are just pure fucking evil. Okay?

00:08:05.412 --> 00:08:12.032
And, you know, but the caveat to that is I don't like Palestine. I don't like Gaza.

00:08:12.632 --> 00:08:16.572
I don't like the Middle East in fucking general. Okay?

00:08:17.052 --> 00:08:21.252
Let's just be fucking honest. You know, I don't think we have any business over

00:08:21.252 --> 00:08:24.572
there. I think we need to pull out and let them fucking figure out their shit themselves.

00:08:25.752 --> 00:08:30.272
But of course, and this is one of the sticking points that I, I, it.

00:08:31.792 --> 00:08:39.632
Oh, I believe we are, our fucking government has sold us out to Israel,

00:08:40.192 --> 00:08:43.032
plain and simple. I mean, Israel now is going to have control of TikTok.

00:08:43.372 --> 00:08:47.412
What do you think is going to happen there? If you, especially for those people

00:08:47.412 --> 00:08:51.612
that are, you know, are all about Palestine and, you know, Free Palestine and

00:08:51.612 --> 00:08:53.852
all that shit. You think you're going to see those videos anymore?

00:08:54.532 --> 00:08:58.052
Probably not. Do you think you're going to be heavily censored over there on TikTok?

00:08:58.972 --> 00:09:04.112
Probably yes. And that is because, remember,

00:09:04.732 --> 00:09:08.272
the prime minister, Netanahu, or whatever the fuck his name is,

00:09:08.652 --> 00:09:12.312
he said that basically, he mentioned something about TikTok in one of his speeches

00:09:12.312 --> 00:09:15.532
and how TikTok was ruining them.

00:09:16.132 --> 00:09:21.832
So now that, you know what I'm saying? You see where I'm going with this now.

00:09:22.212 --> 00:09:24.612
And that's why there's going to be censorship over there.

00:09:25.032 --> 00:09:28.052
That's why the algorithm is going to be so fucked up over on TikTok.

00:09:28.372 --> 00:09:32.592
I have TikTok for this show that I do post to.

00:09:33.392 --> 00:09:41.912
And I've seen the algorithms not really working in the behalf of people anti-Israel.

00:09:42.232 --> 00:09:46.612
I've seen that algorithm and how it quiets certain things.

00:09:47.172 --> 00:09:49.012
So it's only going to get worse.

00:09:49.858 --> 00:09:55.898
And I'm sure, I'm sure because I said something about Israel here,

00:09:56.098 --> 00:10:00.378
I wouldn't be surprised once this show goes live, they're going to dean me and

00:10:00.378 --> 00:10:01.898
they're going to be, oh, let's go pay him a visit.

00:10:03.598 --> 00:10:06.718
Well, if you solicit at my house, I'm going to tell you, go fuck yourself.

00:10:06.918 --> 00:10:11.418
If you come to my house over whatever I have to say, I'm going to tell you to go fuck yourself.

00:10:11.898 --> 00:10:14.238
I'm going to continue doing what I'm fucking doing. And all you're going to

00:10:14.238 --> 00:10:18.538
do is make me want to do it even more. I won't stop.

00:10:19.158 --> 00:10:26.718
I have a mic. I have the right as American citizen to speak my mind.

00:10:27.238 --> 00:10:30.358
And I will not let you or anybody else take that away.

00:10:30.578 --> 00:10:35.018
So now that you know that, you know, hopefully I don't see you soon,

00:10:35.098 --> 00:10:36.198
but I'm sure I probably fucking will.

00:10:36.878 --> 00:10:39.818
You know, who would have thought, right?

00:10:40.898 --> 00:10:43.638
So pay close attention to that folks I'm sure

00:10:43.638 --> 00:10:46.518
we're going to probably be seeing more of that possibly it's

00:10:46.518 --> 00:10:49.598
not really going to be in the news cycle because if you try to look it up they

00:10:49.598 --> 00:10:55.818
have buried it like you have to look for this fucking video to actually see

00:10:55.818 --> 00:11:04.158
what's going on they have buried this story so fucking far it's not even funny so there you go then,

00:11:04.838 --> 00:11:08.898
I just got to shake my head here for a second because I don't understand New

00:11:08.898 --> 00:11:10.758
York. What the fuck are you guys doing?

00:11:11.158 --> 00:11:21.498
You guys are about to elect Mamdani, who is, I'm sorry, a fucking Muslim that,

00:11:21.698 --> 00:11:23.578
you know, he's a socialist.

00:11:23.678 --> 00:11:29.198
He's a Marxist. He's a fucking communist. And y'all are about to elect him. And why?

00:11:29.898 --> 00:11:33.158
Well, there's a lot of videos that are out there that have been posted that

00:11:33.158 --> 00:11:35.878
have asked that very question.

00:11:35.998 --> 00:11:38.978
And I've watched a bunch of them. And you know the number one reason why these

00:11:38.978 --> 00:11:43.238
people Are going to vote for this fucking commie Because they get free stuff,

00:11:44.196 --> 00:11:49.336
That's why they're going to get, they feel that they're going to get free housing

00:11:49.336 --> 00:11:53.136
and free this and free that and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:11:54.496 --> 00:11:57.916
That's why they're going to vote for him. All it's going to do is you're going

00:11:57.916 --> 00:12:02.256
to vote in a communist. See, here's the fucking problem. He's offering all this stuff for free, right?

00:12:02.936 --> 00:12:07.136
Well, nothing is free in this country. Nothing is free in life.

00:12:07.736 --> 00:12:13.356
Let's fucking remember that. Nothing is free. It comes with a consequence.

00:12:14.196 --> 00:12:17.896
Whether it's going to be higher taxes. Oh, but they're going to tax the rich.

00:12:19.096 --> 00:12:23.156
No, no, no, no, no. You better look into the tax lines and check that out.

00:12:23.256 --> 00:12:27.976
Those rich motherfuckers, they some smart motherfuckers, and they know how to

00:12:27.976 --> 00:12:29.536
get around that type of shit.

00:12:29.756 --> 00:12:33.056
So when the rich motherfuckers know how to get around that type of shit,

00:12:33.276 --> 00:12:34.136
what do you think is going to happen?

00:12:35.136 --> 00:12:40.016
You are going to be taxed even more. You are going to be paying for all that regardless.

00:12:41.096 --> 00:12:47.376
Regardless. so y'all better start waking up real quick and who you're voting

00:12:47.376 --> 00:12:54.896
for do your fucking homework because you all are about to elect again a commie a socialist.

00:12:57.136 --> 00:13:01.336
All because oh we're gonna get free shit look at me i'm gonna get a free house

00:13:01.336 --> 00:13:04.676
i'm gonna get free health insurance it's called get a job,

00:13:05.666 --> 00:13:10.646
You get a job, you can get those things. Wouldn't it be better if you get these

00:13:10.646 --> 00:13:14.706
things and you actually put forth the work?

00:13:14.786 --> 00:13:17.026
Wouldn't you feel better about yourself? I know I would.

00:13:17.126 --> 00:13:21.306
When I buy something, I know I've earned that fucking money to go buy that.

00:13:21.686 --> 00:13:26.126
And I feel pretty fucking good about doing so. I don't like handouts.

00:13:26.606 --> 00:13:30.246
I mean, I guess that's just how I was brought up.

00:13:30.346 --> 00:13:34.826
And for the people that love those handouts, man, your parents really fucked up, didn't they?

00:13:35.666 --> 00:13:39.926
Because you all got your head so far up your ass and buried in the sand, it's not even funny.

00:13:41.246 --> 00:13:44.906
Get out there, get a fucking job. Buy the things that you want.

00:13:45.026 --> 00:13:47.306
Don't depend on your government, because once you depend on your government

00:13:47.306 --> 00:13:51.246
and you give up your power to government, you will never get it back.

00:13:51.946 --> 00:13:56.866
And you guys are just so freely just, here, take it, which blows my mind.

00:13:57.266 --> 00:14:01.806
And you have people like myself that does stuff like this to bring this information

00:14:01.806 --> 00:14:05.626
to others so others don't make the same fucking mistake. and,

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:11.059
You know, you always got to sit back and be like, man, what the fuck's the point of me doing this?

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:14.779
What's the point? If you're all going to keep your heads buried in the sand,

00:14:14.839 --> 00:14:17.739
I should just worry about myself and my family. Right?

00:14:18.539 --> 00:14:22.519
But I can't. I can't just do that. I can't just fucking be laying down.

00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.139
That's not who I am. That's not how I was raised.

00:14:25.459 --> 00:14:32.319
That's not what's in my fucking blood. But so, I mean, at least the positive thing is right now,

00:14:33.299 --> 00:14:40.539
Mamdani has only got a 6% lead on Como, which I mean, Como, I mean,

00:14:40.699 --> 00:14:42.099
what do we got to say about him?

00:14:43.579 --> 00:14:47.499
But he's the lesser of the two evils. You know, I mean, if this,

00:14:47.819 --> 00:14:51.919
you know, the Republican that's running, he has no chance of winning, no chance at all.

00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:56.559
He's just taking votes away, which is, you know, a typical strategy when it

00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:01.739
comes to politics is stay in the race as long as you can to take those votes.

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:08.659
Well, maybe that 20, those 24% of those people that are voting for the Republican

00:15:08.659 --> 00:15:12.239
candidate might go to Como,

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:17.519
you know, the independent candidate and might actually save you New York.

00:15:18.693 --> 00:15:23.733
But I will say this, when you guys do elect Mim Downey and he doesn't give you

00:15:23.733 --> 00:15:27.513
everything that he said for free and you guys get all bent out of shape and

00:15:27.513 --> 00:15:30.953
you guys decide that you want to leave New York because that's going to happen.

00:15:31.353 --> 00:15:33.133
It's going to happen. I'm calling it now.

00:15:33.553 --> 00:15:38.473
It's November 2nd at 3.02 in the afternoon. I'm calling it now.

00:15:38.893 --> 00:15:41.893
You guys are going to elect him and you guys are going to regret it.

00:15:42.153 --> 00:15:44.033
And then you guys are going to want to move somewhere else.

00:15:44.773 --> 00:15:47.473
Well do us do us and the rest of america a

00:15:47.473 --> 00:15:51.153
favor and stay the fuck out

00:15:51.153 --> 00:15:55.633
you know go to the desert somewhere go to new mexico go to oregon go wherever

00:15:55.633 --> 00:15:59.973
else just stay out of republican states okay because we don't need people like

00:15:59.973 --> 00:16:05.833
you fucking with this mindset coming into our states and mean you know don't

00:16:05.833 --> 00:16:09.553
even come to illinois heaven forbid you come to fucking illinois,

00:16:10.353 --> 00:16:14.953
I mean, Illinois is already in a crapshoot and we'll get into that here in just a second.

00:16:15.173 --> 00:16:22.853
But yeah, I don't know, man. You guys just need to really, really pull your head out of your ass.

00:16:24.293 --> 00:16:28.913
So we're going to keep track on this one as well. And the funny thing is,

00:16:29.073 --> 00:16:35.293
is, you know, hold on, before I stop this segment, I got one more fucking thing to say.

00:16:35.293 --> 00:16:41.273
You know when Reverend Al Sharpton starts agreeing with somebody and starts

00:16:41.273 --> 00:16:45.433
to back somebody, you know that's a bad thing because this motherfucker is a crook.

00:16:45.733 --> 00:16:49.673
The Reverend Al Sharpton, I'm a reverend, gives me the right to steal money

00:16:49.673 --> 00:16:52.173
and not pay taxes and do all that other shit, right?

00:16:53.413 --> 00:16:58.893
Typical in certain communities. I won't say it. I'll let you guys say it.

00:17:01.433 --> 00:17:04.673
Uh but he's appearing with mam donnie

00:17:04.673 --> 00:17:11.793
over there in new york so good luck folks have fun in new york on to the next

00:17:11.793 --> 00:17:18.353
thing so what was it on thursday or friday morning good old illinois in the

00:17:18.353 --> 00:17:21.553
wee hours in the morning of course passed some new bills,

00:17:22.654 --> 00:17:28.354
Yeah, let's get into this a little bit because it's going to screw the people

00:17:28.354 --> 00:17:32.094
of Illinois pretty fucking good. You thought the gas tax was bad, right?

00:17:32.634 --> 00:17:36.594
Now there's going to be a renewing tax.

00:17:36.914 --> 00:17:42.074
Well, not tax, but increase in the tolls. Every year you can count on your tolls going up.

00:17:42.854 --> 00:17:46.634
And eventually they've been talking about wanting to put a device in people's

00:17:46.634 --> 00:17:50.634
cars to track the mileage and charge you per mile that you drive in the state of Illinois.

00:17:52.034 --> 00:17:56.454
You can't make this shit up in a democrat state you really can't i mean i thought

00:17:56.454 --> 00:17:59.914
new i thought new york was bad i thought california was fucking a shithole but

00:17:59.914 --> 00:18:04.954
fucking hey you come to illinois and you get fucked you know and they're hoping

00:18:04.954 --> 00:18:07.234
that this all this new revenue that's happening,

00:18:08.034 --> 00:18:12.134
is going to pay once again we're bailing out chicago and the transit authority

00:18:12.134 --> 00:18:18.174
out there to go to bail them out i mean go figure because mayor johnson over there can't,

00:18:19.254 --> 00:18:21.354
budget his way out of a wet paper bag.

00:18:21.754 --> 00:18:26.394
I mean, let's be honest. This guy, he's such a race painter,

00:18:26.394 --> 00:18:28.754
it's not even funny. It's not even funny.

00:18:29.134 --> 00:18:31.634
And that's, I think, the only reason why he's in office, because,

00:18:31.654 --> 00:18:33.674
I mean, the guy doesn't have a fucking brain to save his life.

00:18:34.234 --> 00:18:39.994
You know, he cares. Him and J.B. Pritzker care more about illegals and making

00:18:39.994 --> 00:18:45.494
sure illegals have free shit than American citizens in their own state, their own city.

00:18:46.384 --> 00:18:52.184
Let's worry about the legals, you know, because they need free room and board. They need free food.

00:18:53.524 --> 00:19:00.644
You know? Oh, yeah. So, Illinois, you guys are going to have a new set of taxes coming up. Enjoy.

00:19:01.064 --> 00:19:05.984
I live in Illinois, and I sure as fuck ain't going to enjoy that because it's

00:19:05.984 --> 00:19:08.824
making it one step closer for me wanting to get out of the state.

00:19:08.984 --> 00:19:12.304
And the problem is, you know, there's a lot. And they also fucking dean you

00:19:12.304 --> 00:19:14.724
when you move. When you sell your house to move, they're going to dean you now.

00:19:15.144 --> 00:19:18.604
You know, that's another thing that was passed earlier this year that I heard.

00:19:18.904 --> 00:19:20.724
I don't know. Maybe it's been talked about or passed.

00:19:21.384 --> 00:19:24.784
I don't know. I'm going to look into that though. But apparently something like that's going on.

00:19:25.184 --> 00:19:28.704
So, but even now with the housing market, the way it is and the skyrocketing,

00:19:28.784 --> 00:19:33.844
you know, prices of homes, if you own a home in Illinois, you're kind of stuck.

00:19:34.344 --> 00:19:39.464
You know, I feel like I'm kind of stuck, you know, because you sell your house.

00:19:39.624 --> 00:19:42.624
Yeah, you're going to get top dollar for it. But then you go to buy another

00:19:42.624 --> 00:19:45.364
house or anything like that. you don't want to rent because you're going to

00:19:45.364 --> 00:19:48.264
be renting and paying even more.

00:19:48.724 --> 00:19:50.724
So it's more logical to buy a house.

00:19:51.404 --> 00:19:54.184
So you sell your house, you get top dollar, then you have to go buy a house

00:19:54.184 --> 00:19:56.964
and you're going to pay top dollar and you're going to be locked into this fucking

00:19:56.964 --> 00:20:02.884
outrageous mortgage for the next 30 years that you're not going to see any headway on at all.

00:20:03.164 --> 00:20:11.124
You're basically going to, oh, WF, own nothing and like it. That's pretty much what it is.

00:20:13.084 --> 00:20:17.084
So if you're in Illinois, you're kind of stuck. If you're not stuck,

00:20:17.284 --> 00:20:21.124
I commend you and I advise you to get the fuck out of Illinois because it's

00:20:21.124 --> 00:20:24.184
only going to get worse very, very quickly, I think.

00:20:25.103 --> 00:20:29.603
So, yeah. So, yeah, that's Illinois. God, I love it. I love it.

00:20:29.663 --> 00:20:31.983
I love it. I love the fact I live here.

00:20:33.383 --> 00:20:38.163
Says nobody ever. That's why so many people leave. Now, that brings me to the EBT.

00:20:38.823 --> 00:20:42.143
Let's talk about that again. I know I've touched base on this a lot because

00:20:42.143 --> 00:20:44.763
it's very annoying, the stuff that I see.

00:20:45.043 --> 00:20:49.183
Now, I'm not against the EBT and certain people get them, these benefits.

00:20:49.403 --> 00:20:53.823
Certain people need these benefits. It's those that use these benefits and abuse

00:20:53.823 --> 00:20:55.783
these benefits that I have a problem with.

00:20:56.823 --> 00:20:59.923
And unfortunately, there are a lot of people that abuse it.

00:21:00.183 --> 00:21:05.903
I mean, I saw a video of somebody using the EBT to go purchase a coat at Burlington Coat Factory.

00:21:06.730 --> 00:21:10.430
That's supposed to be for fucking food, not clothes. And here you are using clothes for clothes.

00:21:10.610 --> 00:21:15.830
And of course, it was in the black community that was doing this.

00:21:16.290 --> 00:21:22.430
Okay. And I am completely 100% against this because there are people that are disabled.

00:21:22.630 --> 00:21:27.050
There are people that legitimately cannot work that count on these benefits.

00:21:27.210 --> 00:21:36.010
And you are such a low life form of human that would just abuse a system like

00:21:36.010 --> 00:21:37.830
this. And those are the people I have a problem with.

00:21:38.030 --> 00:21:41.530
And it's not just the black community, folks. It is also the white community

00:21:41.530 --> 00:21:43.210
and the Hispanic community.

00:21:43.310 --> 00:21:48.170
There are abusers in all of them. And I am so sick of it.

00:21:48.550 --> 00:21:51.470
You know, and it's funny. I saw some other videos that these guys,

00:21:51.590 --> 00:21:54.410
oh, I need to get some food for Thanksgiving.

00:21:55.130 --> 00:21:59.710
And then I'm scratching my head because these are the same fucking people that

00:21:59.710 --> 00:22:03.910
try to cancel culture when it came to Christopher Columbus.

00:22:04.730 --> 00:22:09.830
Oh, and Thanksgiving. Remember that folks, they were such against Thanksgiving

00:22:09.830 --> 00:22:16.670
because we, you know, it was because of what happened to the Indians, the native Americans.

00:22:17.090 --> 00:22:20.650
They were so against it, but now, now they're so for it.

00:22:21.030 --> 00:22:25.850
I'm so confused. Are you for it or are you against it?

00:22:25.950 --> 00:22:31.450
Because if you're for it only because it benefits you or because you're not

00:22:31.450 --> 00:22:32.470
going to have something.

00:22:33.548 --> 00:22:38.388
Then that's wrong. If you're still against it for that very principle,

00:22:38.568 --> 00:22:40.268
then you shouldn't be complaining that you don't have EBT.

00:22:41.688 --> 00:22:45.788
And a lot of those people that are on EBT, again, more videos that I've seen,

00:22:46.508 --> 00:22:50.928
these motherfuckers are just going in the stores and loading up with just shit food.

00:22:51.268 --> 00:22:56.568
It's like, this is how you want to feed your family, like sugary substance.

00:22:57.488 --> 00:22:58.888
You think you're all good because

00:22:58.888 --> 00:23:01.808
you got all these bags of chips and just the shit food in your carts?

00:23:01.808 --> 00:23:08.608
Go buy something good feed your kids right feed your family right you know all

00:23:08.608 --> 00:23:12.268
this process shit I just don't understand but that's the type of shit they're

00:23:12.268 --> 00:23:14.688
buying you know gotta get that grape cola.

00:23:16.608 --> 00:23:25.908
I'm just saying yeah as you can see I'm kind of tired of it you know it's it's

00:23:25.908 --> 00:23:30.848
getting old folks it really is you know it's it's one thing when you need it,

00:23:31.808 --> 00:23:35.008
And it's another when you're abusing, when you're abusing the system.

00:23:35.008 --> 00:23:38.308
And a lot of these people are just abusing the system and they're all bent out

00:23:38.308 --> 00:23:42.068
of shape because if they have to work or anything like that, I've seen it now.

00:23:42.208 --> 00:23:45.088
The taxpayers owe it to us. We don't owe you guys shit.

00:23:45.808 --> 00:23:48.608
When are you going to get that through your thick fucking skull?

00:23:48.848 --> 00:23:51.108
We don't owe you shit. Nobody owes you nothing.

00:23:52.146 --> 00:23:56.546
But, unfortunately, I can keep going on this topic for quite some time,

00:23:56.586 --> 00:24:01.466
but I'm not going to because the more I talk about it, the more aggravated I

00:24:01.466 --> 00:24:03.446
get, as you can probably tell.

00:24:05.026 --> 00:24:06.766
So, that's where we're going to draw the line there.

00:24:08.626 --> 00:24:12.406
Now, let's talk about some news for the show here.

00:24:13.106 --> 00:24:16.006
Okay? We have gone up to the two episodes a week.

00:24:16.146 --> 00:24:20.186
The second episode in the week is going to be the one that I do with Savagely

00:24:20.186 --> 00:24:25.106
Loud. I will be continuing to do an episode with Savagely Loud once a week,

00:24:25.126 --> 00:24:30.906
and that will be released on all my platforms the following Thursday.

00:24:32.146 --> 00:24:38.026
After he releases it, I will release it the next week. So we're going to have a little week delay.

00:24:39.766 --> 00:24:43.666
So I will be promoting those episodes as well, so you guys can check it out

00:24:43.666 --> 00:24:46.926
early, but definitely make sure that you come back here to check it out here

00:24:46.926 --> 00:24:49.406
as well. A little self-promotion real quick.

00:24:51.166 --> 00:24:54.866
All right. So this is where, oh, no, it's not self-promotion time.

00:24:55.466 --> 00:24:58.646
Whoa. What am I? I'm just jumping. I'm getting way ahead of myself here.

00:24:58.886 --> 00:25:04.346
So this next segment that I'm going to do, it's called Hammer of Hope.

00:25:04.826 --> 00:25:09.446
Because with all the things I just talked about, it can be draining on your

00:25:09.446 --> 00:25:11.706
energy, on your body, on your soul.

00:25:12.106 --> 00:25:15.506
It's a lot to absorb and a lot to deal with.

00:25:16.126 --> 00:25:23.966
So I want to, this segment, Hammer of Hope, is going to spotlight a hero.

00:25:24.566 --> 00:25:28.546
So we're going to bring some good. You know, because there is still good out there in this world.

00:25:28.706 --> 00:25:33.146
And we need to shine the spotlight onto that as well.

00:25:33.406 --> 00:25:38.886
And to kind of lift us all up after a show like this, it just lifts.

00:25:38.886 --> 00:25:45.106
So this week, the hero that we are going to spotlight...

00:25:46.448 --> 00:25:50.768
Is a 17-year-old named Dalton Serby.

00:25:53.108 --> 00:25:59.128
This is from February 20, 2015. It's over there on CBS News.

00:26:00.008 --> 00:26:02.928
So when a blizzard-like conditions struck Ohio,

00:26:04.156 --> 00:26:08.696
causing a number of crashes across the strait, one teenager went over and above

00:26:08.696 --> 00:26:10.356
to save his stranger's life.

00:26:11.016 --> 00:26:17.296
Dalton, a 17-year-old high school junior from Montepillar in northwest Ohio,

00:26:17.516 --> 00:26:23.076
is being called a hero after pulling a 73-year-old man to safety after a multi-car accident,

00:26:23.376 --> 00:26:26.476
despite having just been hit by a truck.

00:26:27.036 --> 00:26:29.476
Wow. This kid.

00:26:30.556 --> 00:26:35.636
Wow. Okay. So, Sturberry had stopped his car behind an accident during a whiteout

00:26:35.636 --> 00:26:38.456
and during whiteout conditions on Ohio 576.

00:26:38.796 --> 00:26:42.996
Dwayne Ward, 73, had been rear-ended by another car.

00:26:43.176 --> 00:26:47.336
Another car then struck Sturberry's in a second crash.

00:26:47.516 --> 00:26:51.896
Both Sturberry and Ward stepped out of their cars to check on the other drivers.

00:26:52.136 --> 00:26:56.556
Then a third crash, a black Ford Ranger struck one of the cars and then hit

00:26:56.556 --> 00:27:03.216
Sturberry and Ward, and Ward, sorry, inflicting what McLean described as pretty serious injuries.

00:27:04.236 --> 00:27:08.816
I was knocked to the ground and could not get out of the way, Ward later recalled.

00:27:09.096 --> 00:27:13.916
According to the Brian Times, I couldn't move. I thought I was going to get run over.

00:27:14.936 --> 00:27:17.956
Ward had suffered a broken pelvis and tailbone.

00:27:19.436 --> 00:27:22.956
Cerberi, it was later discovered, had fractured three vertebrae.

00:27:23.116 --> 00:27:26.376
Despite his injuries, Cerberi sprained into action.

00:27:26.376 --> 00:27:30.816
I felt, this is what he had to say I felt some pain when I stood up He told

00:27:30.816 --> 00:27:35.596
the paper, then I heard him Scream and I started looking for him He was in the,

00:27:36.256 --> 00:27:42.856
Opposite lane and I thought I can't Let him stay there Surberry apologized as he moved Ward Moving,

00:27:43.036 --> 00:27:48.836
knowing he was In pain, but instead I have, but insisted I have to Get you out

00:27:48.836 --> 00:27:53.596
of the road Surberry laid Ward in a ditch by the side Of the road and then tried

00:27:53.596 --> 00:27:55.736
to make sure No one else was hurt, he said,

00:27:56.612 --> 00:28:02.252
Now, this gentleman, this 17-year-old at the time, deserves a lot.

00:28:02.752 --> 00:28:05.792
This right here shows that there's still good in this world,

00:28:05.992 --> 00:28:08.012
that there's still good in humanity.

00:28:08.812 --> 00:28:13.972
I mean, when a 17-year-old with fractured vertebrate, despite his injuries,

00:28:14.972 --> 00:28:19.492
he saves a 73-year-old man's life. You don't see that very often.

00:28:21.632 --> 00:28:27.112
