Between The Lines

The guys discuss the Florida HB1557 "Don't Say Gay" bill and how it has been distorted by the media and opponents of the bill.  They discuss the current climate in western civilization and how it is affecting our discourse.  They talk about "The Slap Heard 'Round The World" and the ripple effect it will have on comedy, as well as the effect it will have on future award shows and events.  They talk about the use of violence in response to speech and how the old "Sticks and Stones" adage no longer applies in todays society and much more on this episode of Between The Lines.

The guys are back together to discuss the Environmental, Social, and Governance Index (ESG).  They explain "The Great Reset" or "Stockholder Capitalism" endorsed by Klaus Schwab, the head of the World Economic Forum.  They go over an article by Glen Rectenwald on how "The Great Reset" ties to COVID lockdowns and the resulting economic "cleansing" of small businesses. The possibility of a programmable digital dollar and the control that can be wielded if used for the wrong purposes. They then contemplate on how all of this can be tied to current events in Ukraine and elsewhere abroad.

Mike flies solo in this episode.  He talks about an ongoing investigation into how two young girls went missing for six years and NOBODY Noticed!!!  Six (6) year old Nicole Snyder, was allegedly killed and buried in 2016 and her sister Four (4) year old Jasmine Snyder was allegedly killed and buried in 2017 despite several alerts to Lycoming County's Children and Youth Services citing malnourishment and neglect.  Their mother 32 year old Marie Snyder and her partner 26 year old Echo Butler have been arrested on charges of child endangerment and obstruction in Lycoming County.  Nicole and Jasmine's father report they were last seen in 2015.  

The guys are back this week to talk about rising gas prices.  They talk about the environment that created the current gas crisis, and the policies that have cut off our options to sustain affordable fuel.  They talk about the mentality of self sustainable independence and the way that politicians from both sides of the aisle have become tone deaf to the needs of the American People.  All this and more this week on Between The Lines!

The guys are back with their thoughts on the current events in Ukraine.  They speak about the consequences of getting involved and the price we are willing to pay to help the Ukrainian people.  They talk about the failure to maintain energy independence and the ramifications on our ability to cut off Russian oil imports.  All this and much more on Between The Lines!

The guys dedicate the episode to a comedy legend, Norm MacDonald.  Norm was a huge influence on not only our sense of humor but for so many comedians we love and respect.  Comedy is a sacred art that must be preserved, and Norm put his career on the line more than once for the art of Comedy.  Norm was a great entertainer and his impact on the art will be felt for generations!

The guys discuss the 20th Anniversary of the tragic events of September, 11 2001, how it ties in to the recent retreat in Afghanistan, what it meant for freedom and the ripple effects we still feel today.

The guys do a tasting of two delicious whiskey's that Dave brought back from his trip to Virginia. First a wonderfully blended traditional Rye, and then a roughly 3 year old, Single Estate, Single Barrel Bourbon.  Drinks happen, hilarity ensues!

Mike flies solo as he discusses the utter failure of the current administration with the ongoing retreat in Afghanistan.  The Biden Administration has pulled out of the war torn country after 20 years and a nearly 90 billion dollar investment by the American people.  The crisis at hand has been handled poorly at every juncture, from Biden claiming the "buck stops with me" to simultaneously blaming everyone else in the very next breath.  Mike discusses all this and much, MUCH more...

Leading up to our series on the US Constitution in relation to the 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendments, the guys continue their discussion on best practices when interacting with law enforcement. How to establish your current level of seizure under the fourth amendment, are you being detained, arrested or are you free to go?  What is a "Terry" stop and what is permissible therein?  When and how is it appropriate to speak with law enforcement?  Always ask for an attorney. Never consent to any searches. Be as respectful and reasonably compliant as possible, continue to object to any unlawful orders or searches/seizures, but NEVER resist or touch any law enforcement officers or agents. All this and much, MUCH, more...
