Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. Show Updates & Banter

• New YouTube Channels Coming: Andy announces separating content streams for CTI Live versus Q&A/Real Talk to address YouTube algorithm confusion ([02:00]).

2. DC Pipe Bomber Arrest — Skepticism on Official Story

Topic Begins: [14:40]

Key Points:

• Headline: The FBI claims an old-school investigation (no public tips) led to the arrest of Brian Cole Jr. for planting pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC on Jan 5, 2021 ([16:05]).
• Questioning the Timing: DJ points out the arrest comes nearly five years later with no new public info and wonders how trust can be restored after years of opacity ([19:02]).
• Transparency and Trust:
  • DJ: “When you go for months with lack of transparency, nobody knows what the truth is. Even if you gave—let’s say this dude actually did it... there’s going to be questions and nobody’s going to trust.” ([19:38])
  • Andy: “When you keep everything from the public and then come out of the blue with some random guy no one's ever heard of... people are going to ask questions and it causes a big problem.” ([20:08])
• ‘Patsy’ Theory: Andy suspects Cole may be a scapegoat to offer the public some “crumb” of accountability while avoiding real issues ([20:20]).
• Unconvincing Motive: DJ outlines Cole’s background working with pro-immigration lawyers, hints at political grudge against Trump, but both hosts are unconvinced—it “doesn’t make sense” ([21:36]).

Notable Quote:

• Andy Frisella ([24:49]): “At this point in time today, I have very little confidence that these people are going to be held accountable or be arrested because if they were, it would have already happened.”
• DJ Cruise ([25:55]): “My gut says it’s not [the guy]. I haven’t seen any real evidence to say that it is.”

Chat Poll Segment: DJ & Andy ask the live chat if they believe the arrest is legit, expressing near-universal skepticism ([25:03]).

---

3. White Liberal Guilt & Its Effects

Topic Begins: [27:25]

• Discussion: The hosts dissect a viral video defending so-called “empathetic” leftist activists. Andy argues upper-middle-class liberal women drive destructive social policy, voting for “progressive” changes that ultimately harm the working class and minorities, all while feeling disconnected from the consequences ([28:11]).
• Race & ‘Soft Bigotry’:
  • Andy: “If you want to talk about where racism lives, racism lives in those people... who fundamentally believe people who are inner city or black are not as good as them or capable as them.” ([31:50])
  • DJ agrees, calling out hypocrisy in progressive rhetoric, particularly around claims minorities “can’t get IDs.”

---

4. Corruption & Fraud: Ilhan Omar & MN Somali Food Aid Scandal

Topic Begins: [39:48]

• Feds Investigating Massive COVID Aid Fraud: Up to 73 indictments are possible in a food aid theft scheme in Minnesota, disproportionately involving Somali-linked groups ([41:05]).
• Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Role: Andy and DJ imply Rep. Omar is at the center or at least complicit (“ringleader”), accusing her of putting Somalia’s interests above America’s ([40:24]).
• “Excuse-Making” for Fraud:
  • DJ: “So it’s your fault you didn’t create better rules.”
  • Andy: “There should be zero fraud. What do you mean the fraud got out of hand? $1 is enough fraud. A billion is absurd. It’s treasonous...these are American tax dollars being stolen by people who shouldn’t even be here.” ([42:24])
• Colonization Argument: Andy rails against “colonies of foreign countries” developing within US borders, suggesting political leaders enable this for votes—a form of “treason.” ([43:12])
• Disillusionment with Government:
  • Andy: “Could we be great? Yes...But what we have right now is not what the fuck we’re told we have.” ([46:44])

---

5. Sports Segment

Topic Begins: [10:03]

• Discuss Utah Tech basketball brawl: Player punches opponent after being dunked on. Lively banter about sports fights, Power Slap events, the violence of hockey compared to basketball ([11:02]–[13:44]).

---

6. Government Trust, Taxation & Representation

Cruise the Comments Q&A Segment: [34:13+]

• Tax Resistance:
  • Listener asks about “not participating in treason via paying taxes.”
  • Andy: “If everybody did [refused to pay taxes], the problem would fix itself immediately... Our Constitution is based on no taxation without representation and these people are NOT representing us.” ([35:43])
• Desensitization to Economic Injustice: Andy blames “comfort” for Americans’ passivity: “Men were not pacified through digital entertainment, scrolling, porn... a 3% tax increase back then was a massive difference...” ([36:38])

---

7. Candace Owens vs. TPUSA – Accountability Squabbles

Topic Begins: [54:30]

• Candace Owens invited to “debate” TPUSA over the Charlie Kirk assassination controversy.
  • DJ warns: “Don’t go in person to that event, bro...” Citing risk of setup ([57:20]).
  • Candace offers to appear virtually, “serious when I said we could do it today... pretty much any day” ([58:05]).
• Debate Skills: Andy claims few can handle a real debate with her, not even Charlie Kirk ([59:07]), and implies TPUSA is stalling.

---

8. Venezuela, Fentanyl, and War – Distrust in Intervention

Topic Begins: [64:40]

• Pentagon IG Report: No classified info leaked via Signal app ([63:22]).
• Escalation with Venezuela: Discusses US strikes on Venezuelan drug boats and Trump’s threat of “boots on the ground,” but both Andy and DJ doubt official rationale is really about fentanyl ([65:01]).
  • Andy: “How many of the wars we’ve gotten into were actually for the reason they told us? None.”
  • DJ: “It just doesn’t make sense. Why Venezuela? Why not China?” ([66:46])
• Audience Invited to Speculate: What’s the real motive? (oil, geopolitics, distraction?) No convincing answers emerge ([69:37]).

---

9. Uplifting Closer: Charity for Army Vet Who Lost Pension

Segment: [70:37]

• Heartwarming Story: 88-year-old Army vet Ed Bombas lost his GM pension, had to work full-time until viral video raised $1.6M in donations.
• Bittersweet Take: Andy: “They bailed these companies out and they still took people’s pensions...the greed of these people, I can’t stand it, dude.” ([73:51]) DJ: “It’s reassuring...we still got fucking good people here, man.” ([74:42])
• Thumbs Up Gesture: Hosts celebrate the outpouring but lament a system where elderly veterans must depend on crowdfunding.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Whatever they tell us—the opposite tends to be true.” — DJ Cruise ([24:17])
• “If you tell me I can’t, I’m doing it, period.” — Andy Frisella ([05:30])
• “We don't have enough men in this country that actually fend for themselves and are focused enough to understand what the tax implications are in this country and how unfair they are.” — Andy Frisella ([36:38])
• “If you truly love your country the way that you say you do, go build it. But they can’t. Nor do they actually believe what they say.” — Andy Frisella, on Ilhan Omar ([60:14])
• “No one's more hated than he who speaks the truth.” — Socrates quote, cited by Andy ([62:38])
• “People shouldn't have to come out of their pocket to take care of this man. That's what the fucking American dream is supposed to be about.” — Andy Frisella, on the charity for Ed Bombas ([74:53])

---

Tone & Style

The episode is frank, irreverent, and combative—Andy and DJ curse freely, challenge media narratives, and encourage independent thinking. They bounce snark and sincerity off each other, balancing outrage with humor and ending on a story that highlights both the hardship and resilience of everyday Americans.

---

For New Listeners

• Main Takeaway: Institutional trust is at an all-time low—question everything (especially what “authorities” and media present). True security and impact, Andy says, come from personal responsibility, financial independence, and an ability to see through “official stories.”
• Recurring Themes: Distrust of government and big media, defense of American working class, critique of progressive social movements, skepticism toward war justifications, and faith in grassroots, ordinary Americans.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah. Hey, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Hey.

[Andy Frisella]

Welcome to home ownership.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. You know, it's tough time to get cracking. So it's getting real. And I have a Christmas deadline, so I got a lot of to do between now and Christmas.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

So I can't be on black people time all, you know.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, just a couple show. That's right. Just for the thing that, you know, you're. Just for the main thing.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right, bro. I told my guy, I'm like, dude, I gotta go start driving by some Home Depots. I'm gonna need some extra help.

I gotta get this rolling, bro. Oh, man. We got the chat live and.

[Andy Frisella]

Well, yeah, we do. What is going on? Chatty chats. Don't forget to share the chat.

[DJ Cruise]

Share the chat.

[Andy Frisella]

All right, guys, it's very important. We're trying to grow this live stream. It's kind of like starting over. We got some new changes that we're going to be bringing into the new year. Probably talk about it right now while we. While we should, huh? Might as well tell them DJs coming out. I mean, that's another thing. You met the other thing. All right, the other thing is that we are creating a separate YouTube channel. One is for CTI Lives. And the other one is going to be for Q and A and real talk. And the reason we're doing that is because the algorithm gets confused on which shows to share based on our audience. So we're going to fix that up. And we also have audiences for both.

[DJ Cruise]

So YouTube doesn't know if we want to, like, start a revolution or start a company.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah. So I want to let you guys know that that will be happening here probably fairly soon, before. Before New Year, probably in the next week or so. So I just want to let you guys know that. And outside of that, we do have a special email going out this weekend.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, man.

[Andy Frisella]

That you guys have been waiting on for a long time. And if you want to find out about that, it's andypressella.com MFCEO Again, that's andyprosella.com MFCEO all right, you guys who have been clamoring and waiting for the MF CEO project, I think you're going to have a nice little surprise on your inbox this weekend. All right?

[DJ Cruise]

I'm excited for it.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, I'm excited, too.

[DJ Cruise]

I'm excited for it.

[Andy Frisella]

I'm excited, too. You know, I really love that content, bro. You know, like, any can talk about your roots. I know. That's what I'm talking about. Any. And we are. Okay. We could talk about current events, right? And I love it, dude. I have so much fun on this show, but, man, that's just my fucking wheelhouse, bro. And I love talking about it. I always feel super.

Super refreshed after recording those episodes. Like, you know, I don't know. I don't know what it is, man. I really like it.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, it's making people better in a different way.

[Andy Frisella]

Thank you, Jesus.

But, yeah, man, it's a.

It's. It's good. I love both. I love both. Somebody I was talking to a buddy of mine last night. My buddy Justin was in town, who's a very successful entrepreneur and very, very successful. And he was in town for a few days, just visiting, and we were working on a couple things together, and he's like, dude, you're so good at that. Why did you ever stop doing it? And I'm like, do you want to know the truth? And he's like, yeah. And I said, all right, well, there's two reasons. One is I identified what was happening culturally, and I knew that if we didn't talk about it, we were going to be in for some really big problems. And as you guys have seen, you know, things have gotten progressively Worse. And the answer to that is not for us to and cry and moan, but it's to solve the problem and understand that for us to be successful and do what we got to do, it's. It's gonna. It's gonna take work. And the number one in insulation that you could have from things going on in the world is be financially free. That's the truth. So. But two was when I was making these episodes, you know, every. Every once in a while, I would say something about what was going on in the world, and, dude, I would get blasted with like one star reviews of people being like, I come here for this and you did this and you.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, right.

[Andy Frisella]

And you know, I got enough of that. And I'm like, you know what? You.

[DJ Cruise]

Here's all of it.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, that's right. I'm going full gas, bro. Because here's the thing about me and you guys all know this in the room. If you tell me I can't, I'm doing it, period. So, GP you guys can thank that handful of people back in the day who used to tell me to shut the up for the reason that I never shut the up now. So. Merry Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas. Anyway.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, well, I mean, dude, that's great. Yeah, that's great.

[Andy Frisella]

So I'm excited about it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Hell yeah, man.

[Andy Frisella]

They took down our last live, dude. They took it down like, bro, dude, you know what? I was, you know, something crazy. So Emily was showing me this on her app last night. So Emily listens to every show, and I know she does because she's listen. I always hear, like, I make her turn it off because I don't like hearing myself same.

[DJ Cruise]

I hate it, dude, it is weird.

[Andy Frisella]

So when it did the YouTube recap.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

Because she always watch on YouTube, it didn't even show up. And she don't watch any other shows on YouTube. We didn't even show up in the rankings. So it was. It was interesting that. Yeah, I know, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

It is, bro.

[Andy Frisella]

It's the same reason some of these don't have me on their show, because I eat them up, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

He swung hard. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Daddy missed swinging a miss, dog.

[Andy Frisella]

Y.

[DJ Cruise]

Anyway, well, yeah, guys, let's get into our headlines. Got a lot of stuff to cover, so let's buckle up. Headline number one.

We have a pipe bomber suspect. Allegedly.

[Andy Frisella]

Allegedly.

[DJ Cruise]

Allegedly. Cash Patel reveals how relentless Police work by FBI nab DC pipe bomb suspect leaving $500,000 reward untouched.

All right, okay, okay, I'll bite what we got.

[Andy Frisella]

Let's see what they got.

[DJ Cruise]

Let's dive into this. Yeah. Trump Administration Investigators nab D.C. pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole based on no public tips, just old fashioned police work. FBI Director Cash Patel exclusively told the Post on Thursday. Despite offering a half a million dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who laid pipe bombs at a political offices in Washington, D.C. the Biden administration was unable to catch a suspect during the former President's only term in office. Deputy Director FBI Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, who Patel says spearheaded the investigation, gave credit to Trump for the case getting cracked. Quote, this is what it's like when you work for a president who tells you to go get the bad guys and stop focusing on other extraneous things not related to law enforcement. Bongino said at a press conference announcing the arrest on Thursday afternoon. Let's check this clip.

[FBI Official]

Early this morning, Brian Cole Jr. Was arrested and charged with placing the pipe bombs at the RNC and, and the DNC on January 5, 2021. He has been charged with violating 18 USC 844, which is use of an explosive device. This investigation is ongoing. As we speak, search warrants are being executed and there could be more charges to come. I'm going to let our U.S. attorney discuss that shortly. This was the work of multiple agencies working together. This morning's operation was carried out safely and successfully.

[DJ Cruise]

Okay, okay, I'll keep biting. What else we got? Right, who is this guy? Right, this guy. So they did a police, they did a raid on his home. He lives in Virginia. He has a, almost 3/4 of a million dollar home. This is a picture of it here. You see, they look all nice and set up there. Right. So this is the J6 pipe bomber. Right. That, that we've been talking about has, you know, elusively been out there since 2021.

But here's. I have some questions. I have some questions. I'm sure. Sure you do. Sure the chat does as well.

It's been four years, almost five. Almost five years. And they were able to get this guy with no new tips, no new leads, no new anything. How so that means that, I mean, there's only a couple of possible situations here. And I have a video from the former FBI director, Christopher Wray talking about the exact information they had at that time. And this was in 2023. Let's check this out. Okay, so you were able to arrest hundreds of individuals who are allowed into the Capitol, walked around, took selfies. But we can't find the individual who committed the most dangerous crime and attempted to cause multiple mass casualty events at the Capitol or around the Capitol.

[Former FBI Director Christopher Wray]

Congressman, we have an entire dedicated team focused specifically on this investigation. We've done thousands of interviews, visited again just in the pipe bomb investigation. Thousands of interviews, visited thousands of residents and businesses, reviewed millions of pieces of data. There's something like 39,000 video files. We've assessed like 500 or something tips. We've done extensive.

Public publicity. We've increased the reward money. We've got our lab working on it. We've got our WMD directorate working on it. We've got our Office of Technology division, our cellular analysis team. So the folks that we have working on this investigation are working very aggressively on it. And I, as much as anybody would like to see it.

[DJ Cruise]

So how, how, why now? I guess is my question.

I don't, I'm not. There's something weird about it. And here, let me say this too real quick. This is also, we talk about this. This is the problem. When you go for months with lack of transparency, nobody knows what the truth is. Even if you gave, let's say this dude actually did it. I don't know because I remember reports like there was some lady, they work with the CIA, they said, well, possibly responsible. Yeah, but this is, this is where we end up. When you have lack of transparency over months and months, it doesn't matter what you give us, there's going to be questions and nobody's going to trust.

[Andy Frisella]

Right. Well, I dug into this toot a little bit today and apparently that woman who was, you know, all over the Internet they said did it has some sort of video evidence or some sort of alibi that is pretty solid. And I was seeing that from people that were initially like all about her being the one that did it. Okay, So I don't know, but I do agree with your point.

You know, when you keep everything from the public and then come out of the blue with some random guy no one's ever heard of.

People are going to ask questions and it causes a, a big problem. Like you said that, you know, we don't trust anything that these people are saying. And my, my personal gut reaction, and this is my gut reaction is that this is a patsy for, for them giving us like a crumb of some sort of accountability, you know, instead of, it's Kind of like, you know, they've been putting us. They've been putting up these. These, like, things, right. Like, oh, we caught the NBA gambling ring, or, you know.

[DJ Cruise]

Right.

[Andy Frisella]

It's like they're finding things to stand on, to approve, improve their public standing that somehow takes the focus off of what the things are that people actually want to see. And I don't think that it doesn't matter how many little crumbs they give us. Nobody's going to be satisfied until the things that were promised actually happen. And.

I. I think the online sentiment right now with this, with this situation is people think this is. Dude, that's what I've seen.

[DJ Cruise]

Dude. Now. And I tried to scrub this a little bit and, like, dive through this. And what I was able to find.

And semi confirmed is that apparently this dude. This is a picture of the guy. This is Brian Cole Jr. This guy apparently worked to get illegal immigrants out of ICE facilities, and he sued Trump's DHS. This was back in 2020. And his case was ruled on by the D.C. appeals court, and they ruled against him. This was like, literally a couple of weeks before January 6, 2021.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah. So is that what they're saying the motive is?

[DJ Cruise]

They're saying that that might be possibly the motive. He also worked very close with attorney Benjamin Crumb, who represented Trayvon Martin. Mike Brown. Right. He's the black ambulance chaser, if you will, is what I call him. But they're saying that, like, that's his possible motive, but he's tied into this. But my thing, again, my question is if they knew this information. All right. Because two things are possible. Okay. Let's say this is the guy. Cool. So why didn't Biden's administration do anything about it? Right. If they knew this since 2021. Right. So.

[Andy Frisella]

Well, I mean, I don't think it's any surprise to anybody that Biden's administration had no interest in doing anything.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

That would benefit anybody but their side and what their agenda was. And arresting this guy.

For some reason they probably didn't see as part of their agenda doesn't fit the narrative. But. Sure, that's. That's. That's assuming this is the guy.

[DJ Cruise]

Exactly.

[Andy Frisella]

Okay, sure. I don't buy into the fact that this is the guy. I'm gonna have to see a lot more proof to believe that this is the guy, because it feels to me just like what we've seen over and over and over again, you know, like it started. It started up with the Charlie Kirk thing. They arrest this dude in 33 hours. Right. Which is kind of ironic with the. That number 33, you know what I'm saying? With my freemason hand signals.

But, you know, and then we came out with the NBA and then we, you know, like, we're seeing all these little things.

That are distracting from the reality of what's actually not been done.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

And when they stand up here every week and Patel's standing there with his FBI jacket and Bondi standing there and they're acting like they did some. All it's doing is pissing people off worse. You know what I mean? Like, I don't see anybody out there. I haven't seen anybody today because this has been the story of the day. Right. Couldn't miss it. I haven't seen anybody be like, yeah, we got them. That's not what I'm seeing. So I don't think anybody really buys this shit.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. And like, and I see that as. Again, I mean, that's just a sign that, like, bro, public trust is at fucking negative a thousand right now.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, that's right. So we have started to understand that usually what they tell us, just like the media, whatever they tell us, the opposite tends to. To be true.

[DJ Cruise]

Now, now here's a problem with that though, right? Because what does that mean for the accountability that's supposed to be held when it comes to they start making these arrests of these people? Like, do we trust that? Are they, you know, I'm saying, are we still going to be able to trust that.

I'll be real, dude, you know what I'm saying?

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, I, I don't.

At this point in time today, I have very little confidence that these people are going to be held accountable or be arrested, because if they were, it would have already happened, so. Could be wrong. But that's how I feel about it today.

[DJ Cruise]

Poll time. Poll time. Chat. What we got on this, man? I think.

[Andy Frisella]

Do you guys believe this is the guy or do you guys not believe this is the guy?

[DJ Cruise]

Can we do a poll?

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Are you able to do it, Keith?

[Andy Frisella]

Is this episode going to be taken down again? I don't know. We didn't take it down.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, no, we didn't take it down.

Click the plus button at the bottom of.

[Andy Frisella]

Keith.

[DJ Cruise]

Is this the guy?

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, Is this the guy? Or is. Is it not the guy?

[DJ Cruise]

Or nah, nah.

Or nah.

[Andy Frisella]

Here we go.

[DJ Cruise]

Chat.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Is this the guy or nah.

Like, I mean, dude, I don't know, man.

[Andy Frisella]

I don't know either.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't.

[Andy Frisella]

My gut says it's not. But.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, I mean, I just have.

[Andy Frisella]

I haven't seen any real evidence to say that it is.

[DJ Cruise]

And they haven't really released them.

[Andy Frisella]

No, they haven't said, oh, here's the, here's the thing that, here's what led to that. Here's why we thought that. Here's what happened.

[DJ Cruise]

Because here's the thing. If it was. When they want to put that out there, they should.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah. To restore trust.

[DJ Cruise]

Right? Like, hey, this guy's been working for the DNC this many years, right? Like he was pissed. He just lost, like. Yeah, I haven't said any of that.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Haven't said anything. How's this guy, 30 years old, afford a 3 quarter million dollar fucking house in Virginia?

[Andy Frisella]

Well, I mean, there's lots of people that are 30 years old, have money, black.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah, it's a little different. A little different. I mean, dude, I mean, listen, I'll say. He does look like you have a. I mean, the credit score is probably decent.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, I don't know, dude. I mean, who knows?

[DJ Cruise]

You know, this just doesn't make sense. Now, again, on the lines that this is the case, this is the guy. All right, Another possible thing. I mean, to your point of like, it not fitting the agenda, we got to understand who is, like, what D.C. is filled with, right? And I found this video I think you actually know. I don't know who sent it to me, so I found this video, dude, it's this lady on TikTok. Her name's Nikki Vink. Nikki Sapiro. Vincier. Okay? She posted this clip, all right, because he. Listen, these are the people that are in our agencies. These are the staffers. This sums up all of that in one clip. One 45 second clip. Check this out.

[FBI Official]

The people on your timeline right now who are being the loudest, the ones who are going to protest, the ones who are posting political content, the ones who are fighting back against this administration, are not radicalized, they're not extreme. They don't hate America. What they are are empathetic human beings who want basic rights for everyone. They want people to be safe, loved, have a roof over their head, have, have food in their bellies, be able to go to the doctor without going bankrupt, be able to be comfortable in their own skin. If you don't want those things, then maybe it's time to look inward and ask yourself why.

[Andy Frisella]

All right, look, dude.

This is the, this, this is the exact demographic I'm talking about when I talk about that. They are not in touch with the actual Ramifications, own positions on politics. Okay?

The choices that these people make and the way that they vote makes life incredibly more difficult on the lower middle class people. These are upper middle class, well to do white women who have no contact with the ramifications of their positions at all, okay? And they vote this way because they, I think they do have empathy, but they don't understand that you're actually voting in a way that is going to eventually make your comfortable lifestyle disappear. And what's really irritating to me about this group of people is that they vote for economic policies that will literally make their husbands broke and their household broke. So they live in this bubble of comfort, not realizing that the people that share their own household have to go out and fight a battle every single day. And they're voting for it to be harder. Right. They also don't understand that you are making life incredibly more difficult for the people who live in urban areas, the people who actually need our assistance. All right? There's millions and millions and millions of Americans that deserve American benefits if we are going to give them ahead of everybody else that comes from everybody everywhere else. It's a total detachment from reality and it really, truly fucks our country, okay?

[DJ Cruise]

And.

[Andy Frisella]

I think everybody's starting to see it. Everybody's starting to see who the champions are of this absurd shit. And it's very frustrating, dude, because it doesn't work. It's never worked. It's historically not worked. And it's become a massive problem for every society that's ever adopted these principles. So, yeah, man, it's. It's ridiculous.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, chat. We do have cruiser chat coming up here shortly, so get your comments ready. Last thoughts on this, though, Andy.

There's, there's, there's, there's something here that just doesn't feel fit. Like, it just. I don't like, it doesn't make sense.

[Andy Frisella]

Here we go. So white liberal women looking down on minorities like a pet project to make themselves feel relevant 1,000%.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

And by the way, if we want to talk about where racism lives, racism lives in those people. Okay? Because by their position, they fundamentally believe that people who are inner city or black or minorities are not as good as them or capable as them. Right. Which is why they have the position that they have. Oh, we need to take care of these people. These people could take care of themselves if given the actual tools. And we don't dilute them by giving away all of our funds to everybody who doesn't even belong here. Exactly. Have you ever thought about that? Exactly. Okay. These are the same people that say, like, oh, well, we can't have voter ID because black people can't get IDs and they don't know how to use a computer. Not realizing that's the most racist you could possibly say. What that actually says is we think that black people are fucking stupid and we gotta take care of them.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Frisella]

And it's insulting, dude. It's insulting to anyone.

Who happens to be a minority in this country. Like you're saying, oh, well, you know, you dj, you can't get ahead, so we're going to advocate for you. Right, like, it's.

[DJ Cruise]

Right, it's like you're, you're, you're almost implying that there's a superiority inferiority.

[Andy Frisella]

No, they're not implying it. They've already accepted that is. Yeah, that's what their belief system is.

[DJ Cruise]

Based upon, which is like true racism.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

So. So when they're like, but yeah, Karen, put your BLM sign in your front yard.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, it's bullshit.

[DJ Cruise]

Got it. Okay.

[Andy Frisella]

It's total bullshit. These people are literally dumb as fucking segment of society, period. Yeah, they don't understand. And it's like I said, because when they go to brunch, they go to the nice restaurants and when they go out, they go to the nice places and where they live. Those are places that are far removed from the actual places that have to deal with the problems that they're voting to bring to us. Okay, so if you want to talk about who the racists are, it's the people who fundamentally believe that they are in a superior position than black people and brown people, and then on top of it, vote in a way that makes their lives harder. That's fucking racism.

[DJ Cruise]

It's pretty fucked up. Yeah, but sure. Dance in front of the Capitol. Yeah, that is your hell.

[Andy Frisella]

A bunch of old fucking disgusting women doing stupid ass dances to make themselves feel relevant.

[DJ Cruise]

That's definitely going to help.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Great job, guys. Guys, let us know down in the comments what you guys think on this topic. Thus being previously stated. Have your chats ready.

[Andy Frisella]

Dude, what if you were home, dude, and you're like, I want like, not you, but like, just think about this. Like, say you're a dude and you're out there and you're, you're fucking busting your ass in the workforce, you're trying to earn, you got a business, you're doing all these things and then your own fucking wife inside your house is saying, we need to vote for socialism because everybody needs what the fuck you know, blah, blah, blah. But then they don't realize that they're actually making it harder on their own household. Right. And then if you want to really expose the hypocrisy of these people, ask them to bring in a family of one of these. They won't do that. No way. These people are so full of dude. And they're ruining the country. That's the truth.

[DJ Cruise]

That's real, man. That's real. Let's get to the. To the cruise, the chat, take some time, see what we got going on here.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, eats, detailing, bro. Thank you, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, dude, love.

[Andy Frisella]

Appreciate that.

[DJ Cruise]

This man has g. Gave me all the tools to create a business that created a new life for me, my wife and daughter. E. That's sick, bro.

[Andy Frisella]

That's what's up, man. You did that. I didn't do.

Anyway. All right, so what do we got here? Do we have. Do we have any questions for Cruz? The comments?

[DJ Cruise]

All right. DJs gay. All right.

The troll level is crazy. All right, Mike Reed. Where is the constitutional argument for the right to not participate in treason via paying taxes, which we know are being used for treasonous acts?

[Andy Frisella]

I don't know. That's a. That's a good question.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I've been seeing this, like, this, this. This concept trend a lot.

[Andy Frisella]

What's that?

[DJ Cruise]

Like, just stop paying taxes. Just stop paying tax.

[Andy Frisella]

If everybody did, the problem would fix itself really fast.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah, I don't.

[Andy Frisella]

I don't. I mean, it's just nobody wants to go first.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And the problem is, bro, because if it's just one that. Going to jail.

[Andy Frisella]

Maybe.

[DJ Cruise]

Maybe if it's just one by himself.

[Andy Frisella]

It takes years to go to jail for. For tax problems. So, like, it's not like they just got some time. Yeah, you got years.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. You're saying. But one person by himself ain't gonna do shit, though. No, they won't see it.

[Andy Frisella]

No. But if everybody did it, it would solve the problem immediately.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, 100%. 100%.

[Andy Frisella]

I mean, that is the fundamental reality that our Constitution is based on no taxation without representation. And these people are not representing us. The minute they take money from foreign governments or foreign organizations to make decisions based on policy, the representation of the American citizen ceases to exist. So fundamentally, that is a true statement. Okay. We should not be contributing to paying taxes in a country where we are not being represented. That's the entire premise of this country.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

So, yeah, man, you know what's mind.

[DJ Cruise]

Boggling to me about that whole concept is that like, we literally beat the out of some red coats over a 3% tax increase on tea.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, yeah, like that.

[DJ Cruise]

That was the final straw.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, yeah, but dude, listen, that was a, that was a different time and era, okay? Life was not as comfortable it is as it is now. Okay? Men were not pacified through digital entertainment and scrolling and porn and, you know, all this other shit. They had to go out and earn all of them or they didn't survive. And a 3% tax difference for those men back then was a massive difference, all right? And it pissed them off. But we don't have enough men in this country that actually fend for themselves and are focused enough to understand what the tax implications are in this country and how unfair they are to. Because we've been raised in it, okay? It is accepted as normal for us to pay the taxes that we pay. Nobody ever grows up and says, man, it seems like, it seems like this doesn't, you know, represent what this country is founded upon. They just grow up and they say, you know, they get their first check and they get upset and somebody's like, yeah, that's, that's what the taxes are and get used to it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

And that's the fundamental attitude of Americans. And, you know, that has to change because if it doesn't, those taxes will continue to increase. I mean, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

I remember my first check. Yeah, I remember my first check. What the is this?

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, it's freedom.

[DJ Cruise]

That's what that is right there. That's what they painted as, bro. Yeah, it's. We got a Preston Prevost and he changed my life. I started on the Original MFCO project six years ago when I was 23. Started my construction company. The principles you teach are integral parts of our company's culture. 75 hard was required for leadership. Team grew 300 in 2025 because your value, that's.

[Andy Frisella]

That's what's up, man.

[DJ Cruise]

That's sick.

[Andy Frisella]

That's how we take the country back. We go out and win.

Anyway. Know.

All right, any more, Any more good points that we can address here?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, what you guys got?

We need a real go Ryan. Was that Ryan McMaster? We need a real AF ambassador program across the country for like minded people who want to affect change in the local community communities.

[Andy Frisella]

Ah.

Well, maybe you should get on that list for [e-mail] and also for Luke Anthony's comment. When are you going to do a program for high school students? Learn hard, plan hard School system sucks. No real economics. Ah. You should get on that list for Sunday. Okay. I've kind of thought about all these things for a long time. Like 30 years.

[DJ Cruise]

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Yeah, That'll be the day. Well, guys, we do appreciate you for being real ass fans.

Let's keep. Let's keep the cruise cruising, shall we?

[Andy Frisella]

Let's do it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Let's get to headline number two. Gotta go back up to Minnesota. Okay.

[Andy Frisella]

Let's not.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, dude, I don't want to go. Yeah, but we kind of have to. I'm kind of have to.

There's now a reason, Andy. We have a reason why a lot of these Somali migrants have been stealing. There's a reason for it. Okay.

Ilana Omar is going to provide that reason for us, Andy.

[Andy Frisella]

Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

New details reveal that she's actually probably connected to a lot of the fraud. And that's been happening. No, it's a little shocking.

[Andy Frisella]

No, I mean, they. You mean, she's sort of the ringleader of the Somali revolution and the gangs that are going on in Minnesota, where she's from and got elected from and married a brother and went to Congress and represents Somalia first by her own words. You mean she's involved?

[DJ Cruise]

She's the captain of their boat. Oh.

No, but there's a good reason, dude. There's a reason why all this money's been getting stolen.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

All right, now let's. Let's see what she has to say. All right. Let's be fair. All right. No judgy here. Let's check this clip.

[Andy Frisella]

First of all, Federal prosecutors say 59 people have been investigating these schemes so far. Americans at large still tens of billions of forms of aid during the pandemic all over the country. Minnesota's fraud scandal stands out according to federal auditors. What are you hearing from investigators right now?

[News Reporter]

Well, I've been following the cases closely as they've gone through the courts, and we know that there are more indictments possibly coming. I think that number might go up to 73 is what I'm hearing.

[DJ Cruise]

Okay.

[Andy Frisella]

Can you shed any light on why the fraud got so out of control in Minnesota?

[News Reporter]

I think what happened is that, you know, when you have these kind of. Kind of new programs that are designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up, they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created.

[Andy Frisella]

Now, obviously, whatever the ethnic group, the Actions of a few. So it's. Yeah, it's your fault that you didn't create better rules.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Frisella]

Got it.

[DJ Cruise]

And that's why we got over 100 some.

[Andy Frisella]

How. He framed the question, too.

[DJ Cruise]

He's a softball.

[Andy Frisella]

No, no, no. The key word was how the fraud got so out of hand. There should be zero fraud. What do you mean the fraud got out of hand? $1 is enough fraud. Okay, A billion dollars is not out of hand. It's absurd. It's insane. It's treasonous. These are American tax dollars being stolen by people who shouldn't even be here, who have allegedly been. I don't know if it's helped or facilitated. It's yet to be determined by the literal governor of the fucking state.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

Okay. And then this woman who openly talks about her loyalty to Somalia over America. All right.

So we're setting up colonies now, right? So colonies of foreign countries who have.

Literally no rules, no regulations, no law, complete chaos. A of a country is allowed to move from there to here and bring their here. So that's what we're doing in America now. We're allowing people who have so much pride, because, you know, she's a proud Somalian.

To come here from a country they're so proud to be from and fuck ours up. Why don't you go back to your own country and do the things that you think need to be fit there? Okay? If you were such a leader and you're such a revolutionary and you're so progressive, how about you take the progressive idea of turning Somalia into a functioning country instead of up ours? How about that?

[DJ Cruise]

Well, that would.

[Andy Frisella]

What? That's what a real leader would do. If you were really proud of being from Somalia, you would move there and you would say, we're going to fix this. But you don't do that because you're not about that. You don't have any money. You don't have any funds, you don't have any resources. So you move your motherfuckers here and steal ours. Right? That is a problem.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, they got a billion dollars that they can use to make Somalia at this point.

[Andy Frisella]

They stole it.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, that's what I'm saying. But they got it, you know what I'm saying?

[Andy Frisella]

Because they don't care about their own country, dude. This isn't. These people do not care about other people.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I don't.

[Andy Frisella]

I don't know how hard that is to understand the representation that we have in this government system, whether it be her or pretty Much everybody else do not give a about the people who aren't in the club, period. That's it. Okay? And to think otherwise is a foolish thought. That is how they continue to encroach. That is how they continue to dilute our rights. That is how they steal our money. They play you and I and everybody else for fools. And we eat it up because we've been told our whole lives that the government does what's best for the people and they represent us. And, you know, we're lucky to have this country and. And the freedoms that we have and, you know. What the fuck are you talking about, dude? I work for the government just like everybody else. I'm not free. I work for them. I work more time for them than I do for myself and my own family and my own employees. How is that fucking freedom? How can that be twisted as freedom to anybody with a fucking brain that can do math? That's not freedom. We are all like, people say, oh, I'm so afraid of socialism, motherfucker. We are socialist. We've been that way for a long time. This isn't a capitalist country. Are there people who succeed and win? Yeah, absolutely. Can you? Sure. Absolutely. But you can also win in China. You can also win in all these other places. This idea that we are somehow the richest, best, greatest, you know, country on the planet, the freest country on a planet, has become a lie that we are told to keep us silent and keep us accepting the gruel that they continue to serve us. Okay. Could we be great? Yes. Could America be awesome? Yes. If it was molded under the framework of what this country was intended to be, it would be amazing. But we've continued to be fed this story about what it is that just simply isn't true. I love this country. I don't love our government. I love the people of this country. And I love the idea of America and what it could be if we all contributed to making it so. But what we have right now is not what the fuck we're told we have. No. It's not what we're promised when we're young. It's it. Like I said a minute ago, bro, the minute that these people take a single dollar from any foreign interest group for any reason whatsoever, whether it's for a coffee, they cease to be representatives of the citizens of this country. Okay? And they. They. That is what we are dealing with.

[DJ Cruise]

You know, I. I'm also struggling, too.

I have a heart. Like, here's the thing. Everybody in administration for the. For the state of Minnesota, they should be going to jail because you're. There's no way that they didn't know. There's no way. There's no way. Like, bro, I don't, I don't. I'm trying to look up like what the Minnesota, you know, annual budget is.

But there's no way.

[Andy Frisella]

You see it, bro, there's all kinds of whistleblowers coming out saying that Tim Walls was involved in it. It facilitated.

[DJ Cruise]

He had to be. Yeah, because one these people, I mean, I'm not, They're not smart enough to do this scheme. Look, look, look, all right.

[Andy Frisella]

When you get enough people, enough of a demographic inside your. Your hot zone of that, that, that is the most important for you to win for your votes and stay in power, you are going to look the other way and allow them to do things because you depend on their vote. Okay? And that's treason. Dude, you know, people say, oh, well, you know, that's not technically true. No, motherfucker, that's treason.

[DJ Cruise]

It's treason.

[Andy Frisella]

Okay?

[DJ Cruise]

That's reason. And even going the other way, let's say for the slight chance you didn't know, that means that you don't have proper guidelines to set up to protect the taxpayer dollars. That's negligent. That's criminal negligence. Yeah, again, like I would go to jail doing that shit myself, you know, I'm saying their budget, her annual budget is about $33 billion.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah. So they didn't notice that one of those billions was missing.

[DJ Cruise]

You only got 33 of them. Yeah, send them all to jail. Now, with that being said, though, here.

[Andy Frisella]

So and so says Josh says, or Jonah, I'm sorry, what do you think about the idea of having Congress and other appointed officials wearing body cam on duty? Yeah, that sounds good in theory. Except for they don't make these deals on duty, bro. No, these deals are made in coffee shops. These deals are made on, on privileged trips.

[DJ Cruise]

Golf, Golf course.

[Andy Frisella]

Golf courses. These are not on duty decisions. None of this collusion behind the scenes happens inside the house. It doesn't. That's not where it happens.

[DJ Cruise]

Dude, Nogis, maybe it happened.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, no, it happens. It happens at dinners.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

It happens at wine and dines. It happens at social functions, charity galas. Correct. There's implied. There's implied quid pro quos that are happening all the time. And that's why when I say, oh, a cup of coffee. Well, if someone buys you a cup of coffee or a dinner, there's some sort of implied hope that that person's Going to do what you want them to do? Yeah, and that should be illegal in our government, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Vice versa. When these dudes go on the campaign trail and they host these fundraising dinners and shit, and they're hosting, the seats are $10,000.

[Andy Frisella]

Well, let's be real. What's the fundraising for? What's the fundraising for you? No, no, no. What is the fundraising for? Why do they need so much money?

[DJ Cruise]

Well, they're shoe parts. They say to get elected, but once they're in, they need more money to get the seats on these subcommittees they want.

[Andy Frisella]

Okay, so they're raising money because they have to do what? To get elected? They have to buy. What?

[DJ Cruise]

Buy a seat?

[Andy Frisella]

No, they have to buy that. No, they have to buy advertising on mainstream media. Okay? Now, we live in an age where mainstream media is very untrustworthy and the public confidence in media does not exist at this point. So do we really need to raise 20, 30, 40, $50 million to get a house and a seat in the house anymore?

[DJ Cruise]

No, we shouldn't.

[Andy Frisella]

No, because we have infinite ability to advertise and campaign and be seen through social media, which is what's working anyway. Okay. So when we think about them raising all of this money, it's actually not required anymore for them to be seen. It's not. All right, so with that being said, it would be easy for that to become outlawed and say, hey, you've got a campaign on your shit and if people aren't paying attention to it, that's your problem.

[DJ Cruise]

Ain't good enough, right?

[Andy Frisella]

That's it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

So. So, dude, like. And a lot of this money gets stolen or misappropriated.

And in my opinion, dude, like this, this whole, this whole campaign funding scheme needs to end because, dude, people don't realize this, dude, you know, if you donate a million dollars to a political candidate.

You get some say on how the they do things.

[DJ Cruise]

You absolutely say on it.

[Andy Frisella]

Right?

[DJ Cruise]

Absolutely.

[Andy Frisella]

And people don't.

[DJ Cruise]

That's that implied thing you're talking.

[Andy Frisella]

I know the same thing. I know that. But that shouldn't be happening. If we were having true representation.

[DJ Cruise]

No.

It is money. Joshua says money laundering. It is. It, Absolutely.

[Andy Frisella]

I agree.

[DJ Cruise]

Now with this, with all of this thing, you know, going on up there, all the fraud and stuff, new, new updates have come out that they're sending DHS up to Minnesota, specifically targeting Minneapolis, where.

There'S a councilman up there. He says that if he said ICE asking for documentation feels like 1930s, 1940s in Germany.

[Andy Frisella]

Does it? How do you know Were you there? Were you there? Is that what it feels like?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

Is that you? So you were there, so you know what it feels like.

[DJ Cruise]

Dude, I want to say that next time I get carded at like fucking.

[Andy Frisella]

Liquor store or something. Yeah. What is this, Germany? What is this, 1930s? Who are you, Hitler? You asked for my ID. This is what they'll be saying for when we vote too.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, right.

[Andy Frisella]

You know, Right, right. Like, hey, I got news for you. This is America. If you don't belong here, we want to see your papers. And by the way, hey, what happens when you get on an airplane, you know, fucking ticket, you kick the off.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. That's right. Yeah. Try telling that to TSA next time. Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

It's logic.

Listen, dude, I'm tired of people pretending like it's okay for us to import third world motherfucking criminals that suck up our resources, that take our tax dollars and prevent us from actually helping the people who here in America need our help. Okay? I don't like the idea of government assistance, but I'm also not ignorant enough or are cold hearted enough to say that it doesn't have its place, all right? But I could tell you this. It certainly doesn't belong in the hands of people who aren't even citizens of this country. And if you don't agree with that, you're not a fucking American. You're not empathetic. You're a fucking communist, bro. Real Talk.

[DJ Cruise]

100. Now, speaking on accountability, okay, on that topic.

We gotta check in with our girl Candace on some accountability. Did you see what's been bubbling over there?

[Andy Frisella]

No, man, it's so hard to follow. It's so hard to follow with everything going on over there.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, I don't have a massive update, but this is an update.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, Adam says they wanted us to. They wanted to ask for papers during COVID but now it's a problem.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, right, right. Okay, right.

[Andy Frisella]

Can I see your vaccination status for you to eat this hamburger? But, but you know, hey, can I see your papers? So we know that you belong in this country. That's Germany.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, that's Germany. Yeah, that's Germany.

[Andy Frisella]

But.

[DJ Cruise]

But fucking.

[Andy Frisella]

I want to see your papers. Eat a fucking cheeseburger.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, that's completely fine.

[Andy Frisella]

The fuck out of here, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, bullshit. But yeah, on accountability note, Candace Owens, she's just accepted to go to go on TPUsAs and discuss the entire Charlie Kirk assassination. And there's been some interesting things that come up. It Started off with this guy. His name's Blake Neff. Two F's.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah. We announced on the live stream, we announced on the show Wednesday has been set. Yeah, he went on a live stream and read a statement. He acted like he was debating. No, you read a statement and let's be real, dude, when you get someone like Candace Owens and you think you're going to read responses back, you're going to get fucking eaten up, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, that's exactly what happened to him. So he posted this out saying that at 4pm Eastern, 2pm Local time on Monday, December 15, a collection of Charlie's friends will respond to statements made by real Candace. Oh. To set the record straight once and for all prior to the opening of America Fest, we'll be live streaming from Charlie's Phoenix studio. Our offer from yesterday holds. If Candace wishes to join us in person in Phoenix, she is welcome to do so. She can let us know by the end of today.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, they've said that. And they said, please don't accept, please don't accept, please don't look.

[DJ Cruise]

When they did it, it was 1220. Yeah, it was midnight when they posted that up. And then they added it roughly a couple of minutes after.

Now Candace responded, okay. Of course she did. She says, kind of weird how you didn't email or call me to ask about times or availability and choose to instead tweet this confirmation out at midnight. Why am I learning about this on X? December 15th does not work in person. And 2pm Pacific time is also literal time. I do my live, my podcast live every day, which you knew. But we will happily cancel the daily podcast and we'll join you guys virtually instead for the live stream on the 15th. If that works on your end. Let's lock it in. Couple things on this, Candace, if you get this message somehow do not, for whatever reason, go in person to that event, bro.

[Andy Frisella]

Steve Sullivan says they're setting her up to get murked, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

No, they couldn't take care of the last guy, bro.

[Andy Frisella]

There's been a whole bunch of people. There's been like three or four people that are inside TP USA who coming out. Yeah. Who've been coming out and blowing the whistle saying, hey, man, there, there's funny.

[DJ Cruise]

Going on some up here. Yeah, there's some stuff up.

[Andy Frisella]

I don't like this.

[DJ Cruise]

You give me a, you give me a, a, a last minute late night midnight offer where you have already set out the times, date, location, and Then I have 24 hours to respond and agree to this. Otherwise no Yeah, I don't like this at all. So don't go in person. I think doing the virtual thing will be cool though, right? Like, I mean, because I know this. She's gonna come with her fucking receipts and I don't think they're gonna be able to handle it, bro.

[Andy Frisella]

I don't.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't think they're gonna be able to handle it. And she also said this too. In a follow up, she said, we'll also add that I am happy to jump on Charlie show any day before the virtual as well. I was serious when I said. I. As I. I was serious when I said we could do it today. Even virtually. I can make it happen pretty much any day because it's easier to move things around with the kids and find someone to sub for my morning homeschooling.

Dude, this is going to be interesting to see. I. Here's my, my parlay bet. I don't think they're going to go through with it. I don't think tpusa.

[Andy Frisella]

No, I, I think with the clip here, real Andy for solar clips. I don't know who the fuck that is. Yeah, it says classic Dodge. Thanks for the five bucks, though. Yeah, classic Dodge tactic. Publicly issuing a challenge with super specific inconvenient terms that conflicts with her schedule. No prior coordination. 100, dude, that's what she's saying. Yeah, they don't, they don't want that smoke.

[DJ Cruise]

They have zero intention.

[Andy Frisella]

They don't have the horsepower to even talk to her. Like, bro, very few people can debate Candace Owens because she's very prepared. Okay? She has her together and she's very, very good in a debate format. Dude, we. We saw her here. They had an event here and she crushed.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

So like, dude, to assume that Candace is some like, you know, person that you could just pick a fucking debate with. Dude, there's nobody in TP usa, nobody, Nobody with the exception of Charlie Kirk that could even step into a room and have an actual debate with her, period. Okay, so you're gonna get slaughtered. They know they're gonna get slaughtered. This is them trying to save face. And to me, in my opinion, this almost shows that there's some funny business going on because of the way they're handling it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I call. Yeah, I think get Elon out of there.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, Elon needs the Elon. Elon.

Brother needs to go back to Somalia, bro. Listen, listen, listen, man. Yeah, okay, you. If you. What I said is true, if you truly love your country the way that you say you do, go Build it. But they can't. Nor do they actually believe what they say. They believe. This is all about the money, bro. It's always about the money.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Guys, jump in on the convo. Let us know down in the comments. What you guys.

[Andy Frisella]

So you're saying she's a master debater?

[DJ Cruise]

Yes, I am.

[Andy Frisella]

Yes, I am.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, that was good. That was good. Guys. Let's keep. Let's keep the cruise cruising. Got headline number three. Our third and final headline. Let's go to the department.

[Andy Frisella]

What do I think of Tim Pool losing his over the Candace stuff?

[DJ Cruise]

I like that guy. I.

[Andy Frisella]

You know what, dude? I think all of these dudes, none of them want smoke from her. None of them. None of them can. Can even talk with her, okay? The only people that can actually have a debate with her are also highly intelligent, off the cuff people. And.

There'S not that many of those people. No. Okay?

And the people that are that way are the people that are most disliked from society. Okay? Nick Fuentes can sit there and have a conversation with her and defend himself and do good points. Okay? Andrew Tate can do the same. But people hate those. You know why? Because they actually think for themselves and they have their own thoughts. It goes back to the.

Philosophy. It goes back to Socrates. You know, he. The quote is. Now, forgive me, I'm not a. I don't. I don't have a quote resource in my head. But, Zeeshan, I got a Z shot. So.

[DJ Cruise]

You do have a Z.

[Andy Frisella]

All right, Z shot. What's the quote about? No one is hated is as much as the man who tells the truth.

[DJ Cruise]

It talks about Marcus Aurelius. Choose not to be harmed and you won't feel harmed. Is that the one?

[Andy Frisella]

No, no, no. It's a Socrates quote or a Plato quote. No one's hated.

[DJ Cruise]

No one's more hated than he who speaks the truth.

[Andy Frisella]

Who's that?

[DJ Cruise]

Socrates.

[Andy Frisella]

There we go. Yep. See that? I might not always know, but I kind of know.

[DJ Cruise]

You know, that's real.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah. That's the truth, bro. That's the truth.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

People don't like to have their own thoughts and opinions if they don't like, bro. I mean, just read the comments under any of my shorts, right? Read them like.

You know, Oh, I like this guy when he talks about motivation, but, like, I can't listen to him anymore because he holds these views. Okay, so you're that stupid to where this person is going to help you in your business and life, and then you're not going to listen to him because he had disagree. He has something that you personally disagree with. Like, that's the. That's the epitome of a low IQ human.

[DJ Cruise]

Makes perfect sense, right? Makes perfect sense. Guys, let's keep cruising. We got headline three and let's head over to the Department of War. I'll check that last super chat up there. What's that? Is that the one from earlier? Okay, sorry. Let's go to the Department of War. This is another big talk of the town today. You have the Inspector General at the Pentagon. Hexeth broke Pentagon rules using signal to share strike details, though no classified info was released. The Pentagon inspector general report concluded that the Secretary of War p hexf since sensitive non public strike information over the encrypted app signal using his personal phone, a violation of department policy even as the watchdog affirms he has broad authority to classify or declassify military information. But according to the report, there was no classified information that was leaked. PS Took no time to tweet this out on Twitter saying, quote, no classified information, total exoneration. Case closed. Houthis bombed into submission. Thank you for your attention to this IG report. So that came out. Now.

There is something that I'm struggling with when it comes from our great Department of War that we have, and it's on the subject of Venezuela, right? And I've been watching this, monitoring this for a little bit.

Not sure what really to make of it, man.

But there seems to be this escalating conflict between the United States and Venezuela. And now there's this new expert that's coming out saying that there's a violent retaliation against US Citizens. It's popped that it's possible dealing with this Venezuela conflict. So we've been bombing the shit out of these drug vessels coming, coming over.

And Trump, I know, has tweeted out or put out on Truth Social that it was.

Gonna be a possible land incursion happening in Venezuela. Like boots on the ground. As President Trump promises US Military action targeting cartel operations within Venezuela's borders, a national security expert warned there could absolutely be reprisals against U.S. citizens on the home front. Trump administration has been unleashing deadly strikes on the cartel's drug boats from Venezuela into the Caribbean for months now. But now the President is saying he's going to take the fight to Venezuela proper.

So Victoria Coates, she's a national security advisor, she said that she believes the President has the authority to do all of this and carry out these operations. But there's a possibility that the cartels will Attempt to retaliate by targeting US citizens for terror activities.

Now I know why there's. I know the common narrative out here with this situation with Venezuela is that, you know, we gotta stop the flow of fentanyl, gotta do all of that. Drugs are coming over here, and obviously we don't want drugs here. But China's bringing fentanyl here. They're trafficking it over here. We're not bombing this out of China right now.

I don't understand this whole Venezuela conflict thing to my. To like. I don't understand it, bro. I don't get it.

What do you got on it? I. What do you. Because I. It can't. I don't believe that on the surface this is.

[Andy Frisella]

How many of the. How many of the wars that we've gotten into were actually for the reason they told us that we were doing them?

[DJ Cruise]

I believe none.

[Andy Frisella]

No, it's not. You believe none. The answer is none.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

So.

Yeah, I mean, look, dude, nobody wants fentanyl here, but you make a great point, you know, you have all kinds of different countries bringing it here. Why Venezuela?

[DJ Cruise]

Right? Right.

[Andy Frisella]

I mean, do I sway? I have that. That we would want.

[DJ Cruise]

I got some nice cigars. No.

I got plenty of oil.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Plenty of it. Loaded.

[Andy Frisella]

And that's an easy argument to make too, right? That, oh, we're going to do this because of the oil. But it's not like we went over into the Middle east and took the oil when we were over there.

[DJ Cruise]

No, we didn't.

[Andy Frisella]

So what is going on? It's. It's very confusing to me too.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Chat. What do you. I mean, what do you. What do you. Guys.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, I. I see. Guys, I know we all say oil reserves, but if that were the case, then how come we don't occupy the Middle east and take their oil? Like we were over there for 20 years. Yeah.

So. Yeah, I don't know, dude. I really don't. I don't know what's going on here. It doesn't feel like it's what is on the surface, though.

[DJ Cruise]

No, it doesn't, bro. And like, you got maduro, bro. I mean, like this guy, they're still living in like the 80s over there, you know what I'm saying? So it's like they're not.

[Andy Frisella]

Lucky for them.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, they got that pure shit over there too.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

You know.

But no, dude, it's like. I mean, this is not even like a. This is. This isn't even a fair fight. You know what I'm Saying. Yeah, like it's not a fair fight by any means.

I don't, I don't know, bro. I do not get it. But this, the, the, the retaliation thing is something that is important, right? Again, we know they're estimated it's about 20 to 23 million people in this country, a lot of whom are Venezuela nationals. Yeah, trend. Right? Like, I mean, we have them here and now they're talking about more possible terrorist coming from these individuals who are already here. They're here.

It doesn't look good. Dude, that mustache is from the 80s, bro. Isn't that like the old school porn stache?

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, I mean, it's back. Dude, who Everybody's mustache now. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. I don't, I don't, I don't know, man. I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't know. Guys, chat if you're in the chat. Let us know what outside of oil. Give me like some real legitimate reasons why we would be doing this.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

All right. Fresh shady Maduro is cool with Putin and Xi Jinping. Okay, so this is like a Geo strategic move on it, like. Okay. That doesn't really make a whole lot of sense though. Venezuela is a strategic Chinese ally. Okay. But again, so we're pissing off for what?

[Andy Frisella]

I don't know, man. I'm pissed about the live stream getting cut like that.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

Like, I'm furious about it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Frisella]

So. Yeah, I don't know, dude. We're gonna have to find out more information on this.

[DJ Cruise]

It's definitely something to watch. Yeah, it's hot.

Yeah, guys, let us know down in the comments what you guys think.

With that being said, let's get to our final segment of the show.

We have thumbs up or dumb as. That's where I bring a headline in. We talk about it, we vote on it. Gets one of these two options. This is a good news story. This is a good one. Our thumbs up or dumb as Headline reads.

Army vet Ed Bombas, 88, will receive one and a half million dollars in donations and surprise ceremony at work after the Internet rallied to help him retire. This is some pretty good, like just good. Nice. American man. Did you see this? This clip's been going viral here lately.

It's a beautiful story. Let's dive into this. The son of army veteran Ed Bombus said his father will finally be able to retire and enjoy his life after his heartbreaking story raised nearly 1 1/2 million dollars. A life changing sum that will be presented to the octarian Friday in a Surprise ceremony at his work. Michael Bombus said his 88 year old father, unaware of the still rising massive payout, has been overwhelmed and profoundly moved by the outpouring of generosity after he opened up about his financial struggles. So here's the clip that. That started everything. Let's check this out.

[Interviewer]

Just seen if I could have helped scanning this.

[DJ Cruise]

Thank you.

[Interviewer]

What was your name?

[DJ Cruise]

Ed.

[Interviewer]

[Ed Bombus]

I'm 88.

[Interviewer]

And still working?

[Ed Bombus]

Yes. I have to.

[Interviewer]

Why do you have to keep working?

[Ed Bombus]

Retired from General Motors in 99, 2012. They went bankrupt and they took my pension away from me.

[DJ Cruise]

Jesus.

[Interviewer]

Do you have a wife?

[Ed Bombus]

She passed away seven years ago.

[Interviewer]

Seven years ago.

[Ed Bombus]

She was sick when I lost my pension.

[Interviewer]

So you've been struggling a bit.

[Ed Bombus]

A little bit.

[Interviewer]

You said that you lost your pension?

[Ed Bombus]

Yes sir, I did. I was in the army back in 60, 66.

[Interviewer]

So you're a veteran too?

[Ed Bombus]

Yes. Thing that hurt me the most was my wife was real sick and they, when they took the pension, they also took the health care coverage.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah.

[Ed Bombus]

And all but $10,000 of my life insurance.

[Andy Frisella]

Oh my gosh.

[Ed Bombus]

So I sold the house soldier property I had and we made it through. My wife died seven years ago. Since then I've been trying to re establish myself.

[Interviewer]

And you're working here how many days a week?

[Ed Bombus]

I work five days a week, eight hours a day.

[Interviewer]

And you do that because you have to or.

[Ed Bombus]

Yeah, I don't have enough income.

[Interviewer]

What's your dream?

[Ed Bombus]

Somewhat the life I was hoping for.

[Interviewer]

Like to share your story and try and you know, get, get people to help you retire.

[Ed Bombus]

Oh, thank you.

[DJ Cruise]

Of course.

Well, they did just that because as of the time of the show, they raised $1.6 million for this dude, man.

$1.6 million?

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah. That's amazing, dude. But here's.

They bailed these companies out and they still took people's pensions. They worked. Here's a guy who's worked his whole life doing everything he's supposed to do, gets his retirement. They went bankrupt, don't have to pay the pensions, get bailed out by the government, by the way. That's us. And he doesn't give shit.

It fucking pisses me off, dude. And you heard what he said. He said my I, I lost my pension when my wife was sick.

[DJ Cruise]

Took his health insurances also.

[Andy Frisella]

Dude, it fucking.

[DJ Cruise]

He's 88, still working.

[Andy Frisella]

It makes Me furious, dude. The greed of these people. And this.

I can't stand it, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Dude, it's sick. But it's reassuring to me, though, that we still got fucking good people here, man.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, for sure, but people shouldn't have to come out of their pocket. Take care of this, man.

[DJ Cruise]

No.

[Andy Frisella]

That's what the fucking American dream is supposed to be about. Think. Think of that, dude. Think of this guy isn't the only guy that's happened to.

[DJ Cruise]

There's tens of thousands of him out there. Tens of thousands.

[Andy Frisella]

And what kind of company is General Motors to legitimately take people's pensions, get bailed out and then just say, oh, off after 50 years of work.

[DJ Cruise]

Dude, I wonder what the first thing he's gonna do. And then.

[Andy Frisella]

And then they'll give him the money and the government will take after that.

[DJ Cruise]

They're gonna tax that, bro. They're gonna tax it.

Yeah, dude, it's a great story for him. I'm glad that it's ending, right? Glad that he's still alive. Do something. Do something with it. But, man, that sucks, dude. Yeah, that sucks. We gotta give a thumbs up on this one. Gotta give a thumbs up.

Well, guys, thanks for rejoining. Thanks for coming, guys.

[Andy Frisella]

I'm sorry about the fee getting cut. Look, we're gonna find out a solution to this. It. It appears that this platform, who begged us to come on here literally for months, offered to pay us to come on here as part of their program, does not want us on the platform. Okay.

Fuck these.

Real talk.

We will figure it out. I will figure it out to where we are elsewhere so that we can do this shit.

They won't let our shows hit the algorithm. They don't, dude. These.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, well, stay tuned, guys. We'll be back. Back with another show on Monday. Yeah, appreciate you guys chilling with us.

[Andy Frisella]

Yeah, we. We will have a solution to this by Monday. I promise you that.

[DJ Cruise]

So, Andy, tube 2026. There we go.

[Andy Frisella]

Dude.

[DJ Cruise]

God. Dude.

[Andy Frisella]

Dude, they begged us to come on here.

[DJ Cruise]

It's annoying.

[Andy Frisella]

And I said, dude, you guys won't. You guys aren't going to let us do anything. And we've been here for three years and they haven't let us do.

[DJ Cruise]

Probably should have took the money, huh? Probably should have took the money.

Yeah, bro.

[Andy Frisella]

All right.

[DJ Cruise]

Y. Well, guys. Andy, that's all I got, man.

[Andy Frisella]

Yep. All right, guys. Don't be a ho.

[DJ Cruise]

Share the show went from sleeping on the flow now my jury box froze Fuck up pole, fuck up stove Counted millions in a cold, bad bitch booted swole. Got her own bank row. Can't fold. Just a no head shot case. Close.
