CRIMINAL MASTERMINDS

Imagine being a well known soccer player, on a well known soccer club in the USSR, during the communist era. Imagine standing on the biggest stage and preparing to hear the Soviet national anthem, while this biggest competitive event is being witnessed not only by the people, but by the leaders of the regime. Now imagine kneeling for the anthem while its resonating through out the stadium and the crowds observe your disregard for the anthem. What would happen to you in that country, during that time? How would the public react, let alone your superiors and your political leaders?

Tracy and Al are in studio today and the two open with their former national anthem of the USSR. Al tells what would happen to someone in the USSR during the communist era, if they kneeled during the anthem, which brought them to discuss the kneeling controversy in the U.S. The duo talk about how pointless protests get in the U.S. Tracy talks about a twitter troll and a millennial who tried to talked a big game at a bar and failed. The guys talk about the recent church shooting, read a story about an officer getting ambushed and talk about one of TLC member's cousin getting shot by the police.

The world had gone mad and we sit and watch. The media will take anything and twist it to the point where emotion overpowers rationale. Between a justified police shooting to a weak hurricane, the media will inflame all that is ordinary and make it extraordinary, all for the sake of ratings. The truth is irrelevant when the powerful can create a hunger and be the only one to feed it. America's media.

Tracy rides solo, opening with how crazy things have gotten in our country and talks aboit his folks, briefly. He then dives into the St. Louis riots and compare the outrage of recent shootings to the lack of outrage to the 2014 shooting of a man holding a wallet. Tracy continues by talking about riots and a brief look at the Stockley shooting. Tracy concludes the episode by discussing how our media loves to exaggerate and the Georgia Tech shooting.

It is as routine as the rain in April. Terrorist attacks are more common in Euro than ever before. What is just as frightening is the fact the we, the public, and the media treat it as such. Desensitization has set in. Will this make it easier for these attacks to continue? Will we develop apathy towards these acts and shrug our shoulders, just as long as we are not directly affected by this?

Tracy jumps into the attacks over the week in London. He talks about how common these attacks have become and how desensitized we are becoming to hearing about them. Al phones in and the two talk about how exaggerating our media can be and talks about Berkley's riots. Al then updates us on his father in law and the two talk about the different genders and how it is no longer him or her. Finally, Tracy closes the show with dumb criminals.

The media loves to write a good story with not much truth behind it. Anyone's claims are good enough as long as they fuel the agenda. But what happens when the truth is revealed and its time to admit an error? Usually, silence on behalf of the most powerful entity in the world. With their power comes no responsibility, or journalistic integrity, for that matter. Oh, and did we mention how much they love using the word "militarization" before "of the police?"

Al starts the show by continuing where he left off from the last show, by playing the Disco Dancer. Tracy recalls a story about a man who fabricated a story and a police report and ended up getting locked up. This story sparks a discussion about fabricated news and the crazy climate that we, as U.S. citizens, are in. Rocky briefly makes his return and attempts to sing We Are The World. Tracy then reads two articles which enraged him over the weekend. These stories discussed the militarization of the police and the pair taking the opposing side and talk about how blown out of proportion the two stories are.

The left has never failed to suck anyone into a debate. In today's world anyone's views which don't line up with the views of the left are considered the opposing side. Even neutral entities cannot refrain from chiming in as well. The heads of criminal masterminds have always refrained from getting into a political debate. However, even they have managed to get sucked into the endless cycle of these debates.

Al finally makes an appearance. He updates everyone on why he's been out and talks about Tracy doing the shows by himself. The two don't wait long before jumping into a discussion about the recent knee jerk reaction of the politically correct movement and the removal of the statues. The duo also recall life under communism and how the new push towards socialism displays a similar image of a life they once escaped.
