I LOVE LAMP!

The Krewe is at it again, and welcomes in our viewers on WGNO's web application in New Orleans!

We're exploring how we have to make conscious decisions to will the good of other for the sake of other, even when we have people like Anthony Fauci who was advising against the facts he had during the Covid "pandemic"

We won't take the "FiF" amendment once much less 100 + times, we'll just review another weekly whiskey, dive into the full Fauci conversation, as well as BPC-157 and the recent trend of online sports betting apps not paying people who beat them at their own game.

I love carpet. I love desk. I love lamp. I am not Brick Tamlin. I'm Gavon Bordelon, and this is Implicit Bias Radio. Welcome back to the show. So why don't you pull up a chair, pour whatever you're pouring, and settle in because we are wrestling with one of the most inconvenient, least Instagrammable commandments ever handed down this week. So let's be real. The first time I actually tried to love someone I hated, it felt like that scene in Zoolander where Derek is trying to look really, really ridiculously good looking, but he's actually just staring into a void of profound confusion. You know, just a blank, glazed expression while my brain screamed, why on earth are we doing this? My face was doing the whole soft focus runway blue steel stare, but my soul was running a full diagnostic error message. It was the emotional equivalent of putting on a tuxedo to take out the trash. Technically correct posture. Spiritually, bankrupt. Yes, we are talking about the linguistic gymnastics of loving your enemies on this week's show. Now, let's get the vocabulary straight because we've let the Hallmark channel, every rom-com ever made, and roughly 90% of modern therapy culture redefine love into some sort of warm, fuzzy, gut-level chemical reaction. We seem to think love is a feeling. We think that it's that dopamine hit you get when you see a golden retriever puppy or a perfect grilled cheese, or the moment the Wi-Fi reconnects after three agonizing seconds of buffering. But the reality is, if love is a feeling, then loving your enemy is just a psychiatric disorder. Because let's be honest, when you think about the person who represents everything you despise, your gut isn't producing warm fuzzies. It's producing bile. Like industrial strength, sulfuric, I hope they step on a Lego barefoot in the dark type bile. If love is a feeling, it's an involuntary reflex, like sneezing or laughing at a bad pun you didn't mean to find funny. You can't command a reflex any more than you can command your knee not to jump when the doctor hits it with that stupid little rubber hammer. But if we look at St. Thomas Aquinas, he actually strips away the sentimentality like a man peeling an onion with a bowie knife. He defines love not as an emotion, but as a volition, to will the good of other for the sake of other. Think about that again. To will. In other words, love is a choice. It's a decision. It's not a vibe, it's not a verdict. It's the act of actually deciding that regardless of how much you want to see them trip into a puddle of mud while carrying an open cup of coffee and fresh dry cleaning, you might actually become a better person if you wish that they become better, more truthful, more virtuous. We want them to wake up tomorrow slightly less full of it than they were yesterday. Not because it feels good for us, not because we'll get a participation trophy in heaven, but because the alternative is letting their brokenness set the temperature of our own soul. Now I I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that's great for a monk in the 13th century who never had to sit through cable news, scroll X for more than four minutes. But have you looked at the news lately? It's exponentially harder today to will the good of someone when you have mounting empirical evidence that they do not will the good of you. We're living in the era of the great unmasking. Take what happened right before we recorded this episode. You know, the little hobbit Anthony Fauci. For years, he was the untouchable oracle of public health, the man in the white coat whose every syllable was treated like it had been carved in stone tablets. But then the diaries came out, the emails leaked, the curtain pulls back to reveal a man who didn't just stumble into errors, but who systematically managed the narrative while the rest of us were told to shut up, mask up, trust the science, even though it keeps changing every other Tuesday. We see the gap between the public mandate and the private correspondence. We see the windfall, the financial and influenced-based harvest that came from the chaos he helped curate. When you realize the person steering the ship was actually rearranging the silverware while the passengers were being told the lifeboats were a conspiracy theory, your gut doesn't tell you to love them. Your gut tells you to call a lawyer, a priest, and maybe a good locksmith for the silverware drawer. That feeling is not affection. The feeling is the moral equivalent of, you know, biting down on tin foil. And this, this is where the biblical mandate kicks in and refuses to let us off the emotional hook. Matthew 5, 43 through 44. Ye have heard that it hath been said, love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you. Notice it doesn't say, wait until you feel a sudden surge of affection for the guy who lied to us about the lockdown. It says, do. It's a directive of the will. It's an order given to the part of us that can still choose. Loving your enemy isn't about pretending that the lie didn't happen. It's not about ignoring the emails or the carefully curated public persona that turned out to be a stage prop. It's about deciding that we're not going to let their malice dictate our capacity for grace. We must still call the lie a lie. We can still want accountability. We can still refuse, though, to hand them the keys to the silverware drawer. But refuse actively, stubbornly, sometimes through gritted teeth, to let their corruption become the operating system of our own heart. No. It's an active grueling off an annoying choice. It's the hardest thing we'll ever do when the algorithm has just served us another reminder of why we can't stand them. It's basically the spiritual equivalent of trying to neatly fold a fitted sheet. And here's the quiet part that nobody puts in the motivational posters. We don't do it because they deserve it. Most of the time, they don't deserve it. We do it because we refuse to be a prisoner of our own resentment. So yeah. The gut, it's gonna keep producing the bile. The dopamine will keep withholding its little gold star sticker. The fitted sheet is gonna keep fighting us back. But the will, the quiet, unglamorous, lamp-loving will, gets the final vote. And that vote, repeated enough times, is the only thing that's ever actually moved the needle on the human soul. This is implicit bias. Keep your eyes on the silverware drawer. A special welcome in on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. And here's why. It's not for the people here in the Mr. Lester's Top Secret Podcast layer. It's not for our regular listeners, whether it's here in Lafayette, where we're based out of, whether you're listening on the radio in New Orleans or Monroe, or even watching on the internet app for KLFY TV here in Lafayette. This is a special welcome and cheers to everyone who is watching on WGNO's app in New Orleans. The deal was signed this week. We are actually on air. Well, we're not on air. We are on their internet app. So if they have a fire TV, if you have a fire TV in New Orleans, you are watching on WGNO's app. Thank you for watching. Cheers. It's about weekly whiskey time. We'll introduce you to what you do, what we do, how we do it, and how it happens here on Implicit Bias Radio. Let me introduce you to the crew who's here this week. First of all, we start. He is sitting to my left. He is the rustic renegade Caleb Morris. He is the nose that smells all. And he is our local firearms and vet expert. What Caleb does?

SPEAKER_03 8:12

I'm just laughing with a nose that smells all. I was honestly sitting here thinking, like, how do I get a New Orleans accent?

SPEAKER_01 8:16

Dude, I broke wind like six blocks from you, and you were like, I smelled that.

SPEAKER_03 8:22

It was fresh onions and good ground, like a 90-10 ground meat.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

The worst part is you know exactly what I had for lunch. All right. That is Caleb Morrison. Yes, if he wants to do New Orleans, let's go ahead and bring it to two of our guests who are originally from New Orleans at the bar. We're gonna start with Chris Smith of Lafayette, Marble and Granite. So I say he's from New Orleans. More from the parrot. He's a Shalmatian. Got it. He's a Shalmatian.

SPEAKER_02 8:46

Went to school in New Orleans, though.

SPEAKER_01 8:47

Hey, there you go. That's all that matters, is that we are all essentially from the Crescent City. I say I'm from New Orleans. I grew up in Medairy, technically. So we're we're all kind of right there. It's all part of that same melting pot that is such a great city. Great to have you back with us, Chris. Thanks, man. Sitting next to him is the guy we affectionately call K B. He does big a beta diamonds philosoph and he's K B, yes, because of the purple on his shirt, because of the original KB drugstore. He's also K and B because he's originally from Canada. It's close. This is a close purple, but yeah, it's not. That's an LSU purple.

SPEAKER_00 9:16

That is not K and Blue's little gold uh horseman. So yep. Uh Caleb, just work on your dollins. If you want to, if you want to hit that New Orleans accent, that little New Orleans twang. New Orleans. You gotta say way yet, and you gotta say doll in.

SPEAKER_01 9:29

It's almost like a New York accent. It's very similar to the New York accent. Yes, but so so here's the classic. Correct. Here's a little more laid back. Here's the classic two words that will tell you someone is from New Orleans. And my mother will say it. My cousins who were from the parish would all say it. Oh, you go on to Dillard's Dahlin, right? Dillard's Dillard's, not Dillard's, not D-I-L-L-A-R-D-S, Dillards, D-I-L-L-A-D-S, Dillard's Dahlin. Yeah. That is classic New Orleans.

SPEAKER_03 10:03

It sounds like they smoke a pack of palm all still. Oh, God.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

D-I-L-L-I-D-S. Dillards.

SPEAKER_03 10:07

Yeah, okay. There was a comedian a while back who did a did a show and it was on an on a NOLA accent. I don't remember what who he was, but he's like, it's similar to a New York accent, but it's like a New Yorker took a bunch of volume.

SPEAKER_00 10:19

That's what I'm saying. A little less uptight. Correct. Absolutely. Correct.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

Absolutely. All right. So welcome to all of our viewers on WGNO's app. It's a pleasure to have you with us. Thank you for being a part of the Implicit Bias Radio family. Our second segment every week is our weekly whiskey segment. We pledged on this show when we started it six years ago that we would discuss the topics you are not supposed to talk about in polite conversation, you know, politics, religion, stupid guy stuff, fart jokes, all that funny stuff with whiskey on the air, whether that's over the internet, whether it is on terrestrial radio, wherever. That's what we're doing. So it is now time for you to grab a pour. Let us know what you're pouring. And you can find us on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, all those places. Send us messages. We love hearing from you. But right now, we're going to tell you about what we have from the Implicit Bias Liquor Collective. The store in New Orleans is Dornax. Dornax is where to go. This pick, though, is not from Dornax. So we only feature bourbon and whiskey picks from the Implicit Bias Liquor Collective on this show. This is a written house rye. So as you get to know us, you will know or learn we like rye. Love it. We like rye a lot on this show. Like you've seen Anchorman, Scotch, Scotch, Scotch. We don't like Scotch a whole bunch, but we do like Rye. We like Rye, we like Bourbon, we like American whiskey. So we're going to go ahead and we're going to tell you what we think about this pick from Ambassador Wine and Spirits, who, by the way, this is a Heaven Hill offering. September 17th, here in Lafayette at Ambassador Wine and Spirits, it is implicit bias, listener night. Tickets will be available at Ambassador Wine and Spirits. It's going to cover your pores. It's going to cover food. They're going to have multiple levels. I think they're even going to have a level where you walk out with a bottle for your ticket on top of all the tastings that you get from Heaven Hill. And the offering, as soon as it's finalized, we will roll out. It's usually fantastic. There's usually allocated stuff. It's all kinds of great stuff. I am also the one who likes everyday stuff. Because finding that good everyday stuff is always a winner. So I want to start at the bar for what we think about this Written House rye, 100-proof from Ambassador Wine and Spirits in Lafayette, Louisiana. Who wants to start us off? Smith, we'll let you go first. I'll take it. Because you like rye. I know you like rye. I do. Yep. Where does this fit for you at 100 proof?

SPEAKER_02 12:44

Uh for the burn that it comes with with a typical rye, you don't really feel it. Uh on the nose, it's pretty even across the board. I don't get a lot of spice. I get that typical, almost bourbon-y sweetness. You get the all-spice. Um, flavor-wise, it's nice and even keel. I get uh it's almost like uh I'll talk about New Orleans. Um, my mama's a banana bread. Because a banana though, it's got uh that uh burnt toast uh kind of feel, that allspice kind of holds for a while. So while you were doing your uh your start, I took a sip and I just wanted to see how long it lasts. And it's really long lasting.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Um, it's really, really good bourbon. It's got a great finish on it. I think it is oily enough without being over oily because it is bottled in bond. Yeah. So you get that hundred-proof on it that really sits well. And in my opinion, and this is where we're gonna go to Grant, in my opinion, if I did not know this was a hundred-proof, I would have said this probably drinks, and it's crazy what it reminds me of. It almost reminds me a lot of a Buffalo Trace Burbank. It drinks that easily because there is almost no aggression to it. You do get a little baking spice, but man, talk about smooth, talk about go down easy. This could be a problem because you sit here and drink it and drink it and drink it, and the next thing you know, you're gonna be placade.

SPEAKER_00 14:01

Yeah, absolutely. Uh, I was surprised that it was actually a rye. I mean, there's there's not uh there's not a whole lot of uh peppery pop to it, which which is fine by me. I mean, I'm okay with it just as long as that that that rye pop's not too heavy. But yeah, I mean, the on on the nose, uh the just what I want to uh taste and smell, just a nice uh caramelly vanilla sweet. Didn't really taste that uh on the palate, but uh still got a little bit of uh um it was almost like a citrusy. Uh there was kind of a fruity uh little little twing to it. But uh absolutely a very, very nice uh combination of pretty much everything.

SPEAKER_01 14:37

I love that you said kind of that that twing to it, right? Right? Because it's almost like I get star and ease on the nose. It's almost a bit tangy on the nose.

SPEAKER_00 14:46

Yeah, does it hit you at 100 proof or is it a little bit lighter?

SPEAKER_01 14:49

Oh no, I to me this drinks way lighter than 100 proof. I would not, if I did not know it was 100 and I blinded it, I probably would have just said 94. Oh, this is in this is 90 or below. I really I've had 80s that drink about like this. Yeah. I've had whiskey that is smooth, smooth, smooth and almost doesn't present any of the proof. This is one of those ones that if you have someone come to your house and they go, Oh, I don't drink rye. Okay, great, let me pour you a bourbon. Blind pour this for them, and when they go, oh my God, I love it, go, congratulations. That's a Kentucky straight rye whiskey, which means the mash bill's a hundred percent rye, and it's a hundred proof on top of that. This to me is so easy to drink.

SPEAKER_00 15:33

Yeah, like you said, dangerous. It's so delightful. It's a dangerous evening starter.

SPEAKER_01 15:37

It absolutely is. Does it have that depth of flavor that, and this might be why I think it drinks lighter than a hundred-proof? Once you start getting to, we have that old saying, life begins at 107. But once you get to 100, the proof really starts to push some of the flavors out of the volatile organic compounds, right? You can start to taste the difference between, oh, this is just something where I'm getting a good bit of water, which is what proofs it down, or I'm really starting to get the alcohol that evaporates the VOCs, and you get it up through the nostrils, you get all of that. I did not get that with this. That's the one thing to me that I kind of wish it had. It's just so easy that you don't have to worry about it at all being offensive in any way, shape, or form. Have we had a written house before? No. Very first show. Okay, very first written house we've ever had.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

Great taste. Very, very easy.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

The flavor profile on this to me is just absolutely fantastic. We'll we'll go into the rating in a minute and I'll explain why I'll rate it what I'll rate it. But I mean, talk about an easy drinker. Talk about a great gateway. What, Caleb?

SPEAKER_03 16:50

I'm just sitting there, I'm laughing because I'm like, man, just like its name, it's it is it's a little quick on the trigger. You had to throw that in. Yeah, it's gonna be all night with this thing.

SPEAKER_01 17:00

Yeah. If you know, you know.

SPEAKER_03 17:02

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:02

So so by the way, for our new viewers and listeners, Caleb, we call him the knows that knows because the review you're about to get, this is one of those things where I think we need like the old guy who did uh ABC's wild, wild, wild world of sports, the wide world of sports, you know, the that description. If you were about to experience the ninth wonder of the world in bourbon tasting, it's more like the rest of the story, you know.

SPEAKER_03 17:26

No, you know. That's not me. I know.

SPEAKER_01 17:28

Nope, nope, that's not you. All right, go ahead and give us the ninth wonder of the world in bourbon reviews.

SPEAKER_03 17:32

So I wrote my notes down that way I can remember them because on the nose, I get like worn leather, not a baseball glovering, like a worn leather, like a good boot, which Kavan and I look like twins tonight. Um like a good leather boot, that that worn leather smell. And then I get like a pipe tobacco, not uh an aromatic pipe tobacco, not overly flavorful or added flavor, like that heavy lattica, natural tobacco leaf. Um and then immediately behind that I get like a blood orange citrus. Not lemony, not overly zesty, but that just that blood orange citrus on it. And it's just a very, very pleasing nose, uh, which surprised me when I went on to the palette. Because on the palate, when I when I immediately tasted it, uh it confused me how soft it felt. Almost weeded. I found it very, very soft, almost like a soft water, a heavy limestone water.

SPEAKER_01 18:19

So it counted above six? You said it confused you.

SPEAKER_03 18:21

Yeah, yeah. It got to close to those double digits. Um and then from there, I got red hot candy. And when I say red hot candy, not like the little packs that you get, you know. I'm talking about the red hot candy, uh, like the big ones that you give out to kids at uh Halloween that you don't like because you want them to choke on the way home. Yeah, yeah. You know, those big, gnarly red hot. That's the flavor I got on there. So heavy, heavy cinnamon with that not cinnamon oil, but that vanilla candy finish kind of the middle of it. Um, the mouthfeel, I get the viscousness of it, but it's it's surprisingly thin. And I know that sounds very contradictory, but the mouthfeel doesn't match the legs on the glass.

SPEAKER_01 19:01

I would agree with that 100%.

SPEAKER_03 19:03

It really caught me off guard. Uh so and I thought, and and as y'all were talking, I'm trying to pinpoint it because I'm like, man, this drinks hotter than autoproof. And then I started putting it together. It's not the alcohol that I'm noticing, it's the cinnamon. It's the cinnamon. So I'm confusing the when I say it drinks hotter, it's the cinnamon that I notice more than the alcohol, than the ethanol. And that cinnamon's very, very stand-up front. Uh, but it's that cinnamon candy, not baking cinnamon. I don't get the all-spice and everything else like y'all are, but I'm getting like that cinnamon red hot candy.

SPEAKER_01 19:31

You're getting cinnamon oil, yes, which was used to make like cinnamon toothpicks when I was a kid. My brother would make them, just you know, let cinnamon let toothpicks soak in cinnamon oil, and he but that stuff would eat through plastic if you let it. Oh, yeah. I mean, it it was bad. So and I think that's what you're getting because that's what defines the candy, not the baking spice.

SPEAKER_03 19:51

Correct, correct. But it's just sweet enough, like it's got enough flavor to where it balances out. It's very surprising because to me it smells and tastes like two completely different whiskies, two completely different rides.

SPEAKER_01 20:03

I don't know that I completely disagree with you on that because the nose, yes. Like I said, I got that star and ease, I got that that twang on the palate as far as the nose went. But then when I sipped it, it was like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This sips so much easier than it noses. And that to me was the great contradiction of this written house pick from Ambassador One and Spirits.

SPEAKER_03 20:27

Yeah, it it caught me off guard because when I took my first sip, I had this preconceived connotation of of what it would be, right? I had all these flavors in my mind and everything else. And when I tasted it, I was like, this is not what I expected. And not that I just wasn't prepared for it. So it was it was a nice change from what I expected on the nose. And it's not normal that you get something that's that contradictory to itself, and I really liked it.

SPEAKER_01 20:52

I'm a fan. I I am a fan of this. I I think this gets to a great utility player in baseball. This is one, if you want to make a cocktail, make a good cocktail. If you wanted to give it to somebody who's a brand new whiskey drinker, you could give it to them. If you wanted to give it to somebody who said, hey, I want to try rise, you could give it to them. If it was somebody who said, I don't like rise, I only like bourbon, you could give it to them, and they probably wouldn't know. If you've got somebody who comes into your house and you know they're a big whiskey drinker, hey, try this, it's something I've got. They'll still appreciate it. There's something in this for I think every level of bourbon and whiskey drinker that is universal for kind of the bourbon and whiskey world, especially where it is right now.

SPEAKER_03 21:37

And as I finish my glass, I'm really I like the disparity between the mouthfeel and the lastingness of the legs of the flavor. Agreed. I really like that because normally you get something that's heavily viscous, it feels just heavy in the mouth, and that's where you get that length from flavor from. But it feels soft, it feels gentle, and yet it still has enough. Substance there to continue.

SPEAKER_00 22:02

It feels like we've run into a lot of those lately. To where if you're a new whiskey drinker, where it's it's not overwhelmingly powerful proof, so it doesn't hit you real hard. Uh the rye is not that hard of a punch. So it it's it's a real agreeable. Here's an introductory drink for you. Uh give it a try. Because like you said, it it it checks a lot of boxes of a lot of different categories.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

I think this almost takes that that utility to a different level. This one is so in some ways so gentle. It's gentle yet flavorful. It is thin, yet it has legs and it's got a long finish. It is viscous without being heavy. That to me is what makes this bottle this bottle. And why I go, man, I I would absolutely drink this all day long and be thrilled. I mean, if somebody served this to me in a bar, and this is this is the hard part about labels. If somebody served this in a bar, and some of you will know the flavor profile well enough, there's a bottle that is so desirous because John Wick drank out of it. If you ordered that, they poured this and put it on the table and never told you the difference, you wouldn't know.

SPEAKER_02 23:10

I'm gonna tell you that I would take this all day over blanks. I just would. Uh to me, as well known as it is and all the things, it doesn't have the profile that this has and doesn't have me wanting to go back. It's good as a marker, but this is a better bottle.

SPEAKER_01 23:26

So it's time to play what would you pay for the what would you pay championship belt chain presented by Box Drop of Lafayette and rate this on the Morse whiskey rating code. So for our viewers in New Orleans who are new to the show, here's how this works. The Morse Whiskey rating code is as follows. Red, I wouldn't drink it even if it was free. Yellow, I would only drink it if it was free. Green, I would buy this. Blue, I'm seeking this out. The what would you pay championship belt chain is this simple. Whoever is closest to the hole on the price of this bottle, MSRP, at Ambassador Wine and Spirits here in Lafayette, Louisiana, wins and gets to wear the What Would You Pay championship belt chain, which they're gonna show you at the bar right now as we go to the bar and we start with Grant Galatus. Grant, what would you pay? And where do you rate this on the Morse whiskey rating code? Red, yellow, green, or blue.

SPEAKER_00 24:11

$64.99 on this. And uh, I'm gonna give it a green. And uh, y'all please correct me if I'm wrong, and I know y'all will and you won't hesitate. Uh at $110 proof. $100 proof. Uh no, no, but I'm saying at $110 proof, it might have got a blue.

SPEAKER_01 24:24

Okay, fair. I I like it. All right, Chris, where do you rate this on the Morse whiskey rating code? And what would you pay? We got $69.99 and a green in the in the clubhouse already. Oh, $64.99.

SPEAKER_02 24:34

Yeah, I was thinking somewhere around $60. Um, I'm gonna go green as well. Uh, it's really good, really attainable across the board. Um, really like it. Uh, I get that. I think you said y'all were saying thin, but I'm just saying soft might be the better word with a long leg. Yes, agreed. It is amazing.

SPEAKER_01 24:50

Okay, so we have two greens already. We have a $64.99, we have a $60, Caleb Morris.

SPEAKER_03 24:56

I think that ambassadors be aggressive with this one. So I'm gonna go 56. And I'm gonna say green. Green.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

So this is a unanimous green. And this is not a slight. This is one of those bottles that I would absolutely just go buy. I will buy this again. I will buy this all day long. I will make cocktails out of it. I will use it as long as they still have what they have in stock. The winner of the What Would You Pay championship belt chain. Grant's over there shaking his head because he already knows it's Caleb Morse.

SPEAKER_02 25:27

$35.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

$28.99. Holy smokes. $28.99 for this bottle of Britain House rye that absolutely outkicks its coverage on the price because this drinks way, way better than a $28.99 bottle. I think the fact that everybody estimated it to be $56 and above absolutely speaks to the quality of what's in the bottle. Great.

SPEAKER_00 25:49

Now I gotta buy a case.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

There you go. You know what? You don't you also have to take a break, Grant. We got to take a break. Walker's given us the finger. That's the one-minute finger for our new additions in New Orleans. We'll be back with more implicit bias radio right after this. You have to will the good of other for the sake of other, but man, it is really difficult when you sit down and you watch things like Anthony Fauci take the fifth over a hundred times in Washington. And you realize they may not have your best interest at heart when they're up there. They are not willing the good of you, they're willing the good of themselves for the sake of themselves. This is implicit bias radio, and I'm your host, Gavon Bordelon. So we record this show for full transparency a couple days before it drops on podcast and before it airs, whether it be in New Orleans, on internet television app, or on radio in New Orleans, Monroe, here in Lafayette, Louisiana. So we gives us a little bit of time to sometimes think through and react, but sometimes we have to we have to call an audible because something so monumental happens that we just can't avoid it because it's a complete pullback of the curtain. So I'm gonna start going around the Mr. Lester's top secret podcast layer here in downtown Lafayette, somewhere, and I'm curious to hear what members of the crew who got to watch and listen and see to the lack of testimony from Dr. Anthony Fauci, who, by the way, is on the record multiple times saying, I'll be happy to go testify in front of Congress, I'll let the science do the work, I have nothing to hide, and then sits in front of a Senate committee hearing and literally issues a statement. And after that, the only thing he would give as an answer is by the advice of my counsel, I invoke my rights as given to me by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Not a verbatim quote, but pretty close. So let's start at the bar. Chris, what what what was your big takeaway from that today?

SPEAKER_02 27:50

Uh just no accountability. Um, across the board, he just dodged all the questions. They had a lot of information coming at them that they knew the answers. They just wanted him to be culpable to it. Um, Bernie Moreno was awesome. Yes, he was. And so was Josh uh Howley. Was it? Yep. Yep, Josh, Josh Howley. Those two uh Hawley. Holly, Hawley, yes, those along with Dr. Paul Rand uh were were awesome the whole time. Um, I mean, you knew what was going on. Uh the diaries are out. His his words are there for uh everyone to know exactly what his inner feelings were.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

So that's a great transition when we go to Grant to get his because we have to kind of set the table for everybody. Because everybody thinks on well, on one side of the aisle, everybody thinks, oh, they just brought this poor man in for political theater to set him up and make him look bad. And at the end of the day, that's not the case. Because what is the case is we have now seen what he wrote on a government, you and I own it device that now got released to the public. And some of the stuff that's in there is horrific. In my opinion, if I'm sitting on a jury and I read what he wrote versus what he said and did in public, I would not have to stretch the belief that he is a criminal to the extent of Dr. Mengela from World War II and the Nazi regime. Grant, what was your big takeaway?

SPEAKER_00 29:20

I put this when we first started airing our grievances this morning on a on a group text. Uh I put it in there. I don't know if if if y'all saw it or or thought about it.

SPEAKER_01 29:28

No, we ignore your screen.

SPEAKER_00 29:31

Can you really get mad at uh this guy who is obviously such a pawn for the for the higher-ups? Can you? I mean, it's absolutely look, it's the same thing with Zuckerberg. It's the same thing with Zuckerberg. It is they're all doing the bidding of their master.

SPEAKER_01 29:42

Okay, but here's why I can absolutely hold it up.

SPEAKER_00 29:45

Look at him. But just look at him. Do you think he's the one to stand up to the establishment? So here, yes, and here's why.

SPEAKER_01 29:53

Just like Zuckerberg, Fauci did it. He got himself into it with financial profit. Right? He got himself there, not necessarily because he just went up there and somebody said, Hey, I own you now. He went up there and said, Oh, I want to do this deal and I want to do that deal and I want to do this deal. And he sold himself into that servitude because he wanted the money, he wanted the power, he wanted the fame. He did it to himself, not the other way around.

SPEAKER_00 30:25

Yeah, but that's the allure right there because he knows full look, he knows he knows full well they would have gotten someone else to do it if he didn't. They asked him to go along and get along, and and he he did exactly what he was supposed to do.

SPEAKER_01 30:36

But my point is, does that absolve him? No. Oh, absolutely worse. That's why I blame.

SPEAKER_00 30:40

But is he the one to fight the establishment? Absolutely not. Even Zuckerberg, with all his billions, didn't fight the establishment who were telling him who did exactly what what the higher-ups were telling him.

SPEAKER_01 30:47

But here's the deal all he had to do that guy. All he had to do was not buy into it in the beginning. That's all he had to do. Then you're expelled from the hive. Oh, when? Because he's already rich.

SPEAKER_00 30:58

He was already rich. No, but that's fine with us. They had somebody on on Outnumbered this morning, and she said she grew up in the hometown where he grew up. And he was the doctor for the hometown. He used to deliver medicine to her family on a bike. So here so he has a good foundation. He was at one point he was good, but once he bought into the establishment, all of a sudden he realized, hey, here you go. We're gonna turn you into a famous, you're gonna be an icon, you're gonna be rich, you're gonna be famous. You're gonna talk to Julia Roberts, for God's sake.

SPEAKER_01 31:24

Thank you for making my point for me. Okay. Because here's the deal. And he was corruptible? That's oh, absolutely. But what's worse is not only was he corruptible, right? When we talk about the monologue, will the good of other, he willfully willed harm on others for his own gain. So he's got no contents. Correct. Okay. That's that's why I blame him 100%.

SPEAKER_00 31:46

Then that's what he's been exposed for. He he's he's just like all the rest of them who gather in the hive, the Democrat hive. Well, do we say swim, swim with us, or we will we will expel you from the stream?

SPEAKER_01 31:57

You know what? There's a line. There has to be a line somewhere. Oh, somehow people's got no balls. Not only that, he's got no scruples. He's got no conscience.

SPEAKER_03 32:06

I mean, I wouldn't say he has no conscience either, though, because what he has is he has a justification theory. He has the ability to justify. But that is no conscience. No, no, no, no. It's it's a different angle in the conscience, right? So when we view things as morally right, we view morals based off of today's time and our knowledge that we have today.

SPEAKER_01 32:23

I don't. I view, I view my no, I view my morals based upon the guidelines that we were given 2,000 years ago. And those principles don't change over time. If someone says, Kavan, for five billion dollars, I want you to go kill that person. You're not gonna directly pull the trigger, but you're gonna set everything up and they are going to die because you allow it to happen. I am still looking at them and saying, sorry, no, you know why? Because we were told, and I just inherently know, murdering someone for my own gain is wrong. This guy doesn't get that.

SPEAKER_03 32:57

Well, murdering murdering killing are two different things. Two different things. That's why murdering, that's why it's murder, not self-defense or killing. Right. But as we progress, we learn more and gain more. And and his own worldview may not be as, I don't want to say progressive, but as current as ours as well. So he may view self as more than others, where people who with Christian values view others as greater than self. So, and that's why I say I don't think he has no conscience. I think he has a different type of conscience, a conscience that is at its foundational level different than what we have.

SPEAKER_00 33:31

Look, I'll keep all my disdain for the people who put him in motion. Let me put it that way. I have no argument against it.

SPEAKER_01 33:36

I give him a ton of disdain as well. Now, Grant, I will agree with you here, and this is what really set me off this morning. It wasn't watching him sit there take the fifth, because I hate to tell you this for everybody. Are we one minute, Caleb? Are you just scratching something? No, I have an itch. Okay. Yeah, don't scratch that here, please. Anyway, what really agitated me was not watching him take the fifth. Because when we started this show, we were telling you things like, hey, the death rate from COVID is 0.3%. 99.7% of people who get it will survive. We knew that then. That information was available. A lot of people chose not to believe it.

SPEAKER_00 34:23

Yeah, so did he, right? He knew that information.

SPEAKER_01 34:24

He knew that, and it's in his, but here's the deal. Not only did he know that, he then went out and lied and said it's 10%, 12%. Right. So that that bothered me not nearly as much, though. Not nearly as much as watching the people who got elected to represent and keep the people in their district safe on one side of the aisle who get in front of that freaking microphone and would say, Dr. Fauci, it angers me that you're being brought here and being politically set up. We know the facts. They think you and me, they think we're all that stupid that we can't read what he wrote and what he did. You think we're that dumb and you get up there, and instead of being a legitimate human being and saying, hey, this is wrong. This never should have happened. And guess what? Republicans lie too. It happens. But this is one of those situations that should be an eye-opener. If you are a demon crat and you voted for Biden and all the blue people all around the country, and you sit there and you had a family member who died of quote COVID, yet you now know that COVID's death rate, according to Fauci and his own stuff, is 0.3%. And you didn't get to see your loved one pass because Fauci made it up, because we now know that from his emails. You didn't get to see your loved one because Fauci made up the six-foot rule and the mask rule and all the stuff that's out there. The intellectual integrity that is so devoid in these people is what really, really set me off. And we will come back with more as we close out. Hour one, getting ready to close out already? Yes, sir. Damn, Walker. All right, we'll be back. We are willing the good of other for the sake of other on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. I'm your host, Gavon Borderon. Welcome into the Mr. Lester's top secret podcast layer somewhere in Lafayette, Louisiana. By the way, before we get back to the topic and I get fired up again, I I don't know that they have any left, Caleb. I don't know that Mr. Lester's has any more of implicit barrel at Mr. Lester Steakhouse, five-star, only five-star restaurant between New Orleans and Houston, where you can get a bottle of $17.92 single barrel picked by us, $50 in the restaurant.

SPEAKER_03 36:41

And I'm both happy and sad by that, you know, because uh one, it was a banger. Yeah, it was. And then I think two, it just goes to show that how good of a job they do down there. Yeah, absolutely. It just means we have to do it again.

SPEAKER_01 36:53

So if in fact they have some, it's while supplies last, $5 first pour, $10 pours after that. And if you want to buy the bottle in the restaurant, it's $50. Cannot beat that. All right. So now back to willing the good of other for the sake of other and realizing that there are people sitting in elected seats in Washington who were interviewing, I don't even want to call him doctor, because if anything, he doctors have to take a Hippocratic oath. And he absolutely violated that Hippocratic oath when he took eight government staffers. Now, this is according to the testimony and questions today. Eight government staffers that worked for him had them using government resources and government devices to apply for him to win multi-million dollar awards during COVID. Well, you know, think about that.

SPEAKER_03 37:40

More for him.

SPEAKER_01 37:41

He's telling you and your family, your kids can't go to school, you can't go to work, we're gonna hurt you, but I get multimillion dollar awards and you're paying for it because it's your tax dollars at work.

SPEAKER_03 37:50

I think what do they say, good for me, not for thee? You know, and it shows the people that like we we said off air, they're they're bowing at the altar of Baal, Baal, however you want to pronounce it, because that's what they're doing. Yeah. You know, when you look at that at the Bible, uh, whenever Elijah was testing them, and he said, Come out, you know. They prayed, they they prayed to Baal and they tried to continually set their altar on fire. And then he said, Pour water. I think it was seven jugs of water, seven vats, dumped it on there and said, prayed, God sent down fire and burnt the altar of the stone, everything to the ground. So our God is much more powerful than what they worship. And I think that just like back then, they have a very short memory. Uh, because one of the questions that was asked to him was, did the NIH funding contribute to research at Wuhan that could have led to this pandemic? Yeah. And what did he do? He pled the fifth.

SPEAKER_01 38:38

According to the advice of my attorneys, I invoke my rights is in is given to me under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, something like that.

SPEAKER_03 38:44

But what's awesome is under previous testimony, multiple times, he denied any funding. Uh-huh. So how come he could deny it then, but now all of a sudden he wanted to invoke the fifth? Because you can't just put the cat back in the bag once you say it. And any lawyer that knows what he's talking about would say, All right, you've already said this. We're gonna and look, he would take a double down on the lie at that point in time because it's already there. Double down on it, don't deny it, or either we fix it or just keep driving forward. So make them prove that it's not a lie. Right, right. Make them put the burden. I'm sorry. Put the burden of proof on them. And that's what we saw. He didn't do any of that. He just said, uh, according to uh in accordance with what my lawyer and I have discussed, I plead the fifth. And immediately what that should do for most of us is it doesn't tell you he's guilty, but it tells you he's got something to hide.

SPEAKER_01 39:30

So we're we're gonna, I want to go to the bar because Grant brought up something during the break really, really astute, right? Today's the hearing that that was recorded today, the day we recorded the show, the hearing that happened the day we recorded this show. There was a lot of supposition about, well, nothing's gonna happen. But there was intention behind one side, right? Last segment I got agitated and we'll get agitated again because the Democrats in the room literally were just praising him, supporting him. They were, I mean, like literally, I thought they were getting on their knees and bobbing for this dude. It was that bad. And then they all left. Why did they leave, Grant? Because you brought out a great point. The what the Republicans could have done what?

SPEAKER_00 40:17

Yeah, uh it was it. I think it was the the hardest thing to watch. The the fact that all of the information was laid out before the Democrats. I don't think they knew it. I because it wasn't covered on CNN, it wasn't on mainstream media. So a lot of the facts that were being presented about COVID, I don't I I don't think that a lot of them had even heard any of this information. They're hearing it firsthand, and you could almost see it in their faces. They're like, oh my God. And and even still, even uh faced with that kind of information, that kind of truth, it's written right there in the guy's own handwriting, in his own diaries, and and they they still they still played locks up with their own party.

SPEAKER_01 40:54

Now, I do need to give credit to one person, and this is the last guy that I thought we'd be giving credit to on this show. John Fetterman, you are a reasonable cognizant, he always has been, intellectually honest, somewhat individual. And here's why, because he said, I bought this stuff back then, now I'm seeing this. What the heck? Like he he didn't necessarily tear Fauci apart, but he also at least had the wherewithal to go, look, I gotta at least be honest here about what I thought and what I now see and what the truth is. And I can't sit here and slobber all over this dude. I mean, nobody wants to slobber on a garden gnome, but the Democrats were doing it all morning in that hearing. And at least John Fetterman, cheers to you, sir. I give you credit for the way you handled yourself in the hearing because you got the feeling that he might actually be a legitimate human being.

SPEAKER_00 41:55

Yeah, well, he's he's been interesting from He's been incredibly interesting. He really has, because it it you don't see it too often where there's somebody who doesn't mind walking out onto the vast expanse between the two parties and just speaking common sense. Yeah. Because either side is going to stick to their guns. And when you have someone who says, hey, he he won't be around long. No, well, well, it looks like he won't. Unfortunately, because uh the the voice of reason and the voice of common sense is is just non-existent. And it's nice to hear it because look, we he wears hoodies everywhere, he wears shorts when he meets the president.

SPEAKER_01 42:24

He seems to be a normal guy.

SPEAKER_00 42:26

Yeah, I thought he was living with his parents at one at one point and some kind of uh head injury or something. Who is this guy? I love Fetterman. I want a Fetterman t-shirt.

SPEAKER_01 42:34

He might be the greatest political sleeper cell in the history of politics. That's all I know. Caleb then we'll go to courts.

SPEAKER_03 42:40

It shows the importance of having an open mind, right? Uh because you have to listen to what other people say. When you listen to other what other people say, you'll hear things like Fauci believed the hearing was designed to create criminal exposure, that he viewed the investigation as a personal political campaign against him, that his attorneys advised him to answer every question by invoking the Fifth Amendment. So when you look at all the stuff that was asked about him and of him, and that's the view they went going, they took going in, was that the whole purpose of this was to make him look like a criminal. And instead of denying it, he said, I'm not gonna answer that.

SPEAKER_01 43:10

Here's the fun part. That's where they got it completely wrong. You made yourself look like a criminal because of what you wrote and then what you went and said and did. Nobody was setting you up to look like a criminal except for you.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

Well, if you have something to hide and you try to hide it poorly, correct. Chris, we were just looking for honesty. That's why I watched. I wanted to see something come out that he would actually, I can't say admit to things, but be honest. There's things that we do. It was a time that truly not a lot of us knew what was going on. And we confided in others and confided in people and just wanted to get information, right? Uh, there's mistakes that get made all the time. Just admit hey, this is the first time this happened. We don't know what we're doing. We we're doing the best with the knowledge that we had. Those are the things that you could hear. And there's something from it.

SPEAKER_01 43:57

But but here's the problem he couldn't ever say that because he he Because that's not what he did.

SPEAKER_02 44:01

Right. He mean manipulated everything across the board.

SPEAKER_01 44:04

So here's here's what I want you to stop and think about. I was fortunate enough to sit in during prep for the Louisiana gubernatorial debate a few years ago here in Lafayette when it was held at KLFY, where we're on their OTP app. Right. I got to play Jeff Landry. And I stood next to someone. And the question was, would you consider closing school? Should we go through something like COVID again? And I answered the question as I thought the question might best be answered in that debate scenario for that particular candidate, which is don't answer. Because at that point in the election process, literally all Louisiana's governor had to do was not mess it up and he was going to win. So I kind of gave a roundabout answer. And the guy who was playing another candidate next to me took a shot at, well, you know, this and with this. And I said, So wait a minute, are you going to shut schools down for the flu? And the guy looked at me, and this guy honestly believed this. It was funny because they picked the characters to play. And this guy honestly believed. He goes, What do you mean shut it down, Fliplo? I said, Well, the more bit the more the mortality rate from COVID is of or less than the flu, which is about 0.3%. And he said, That is not true. And I said, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop. I said, the documentation's out there. And it's funny because I actually said, I believe I'm the one who litigated this in front of the Supreme Court. I believe you didn't. So you might want to just be quiet and let the experts talk.

unknown 45:28

Right.

SPEAKER_01 45:28

Right. And the people prepping for the debate, I mean, like the moderators were like, oh dear God, who is this lunatic?

SPEAKER_02 45:35

Right.

SPEAKER_01 45:35

But at the end of the day, the information was out there that it was 0.3%. Right.

SPEAKER_02 45:40

Facts.

SPEAKER_01 45:40

And the flu turned into Kaiser Freakin' Souza. Right. We are going to come back because there's more to take from this and continue this conversation about, oh, little garden gnome Anthony Fauci and where he might go and why he took the fifth and maybe why he couldn't take the fifth when we come back on Implicit Bias Radio. Hour two is always more fun on implicit bias radio. Now look, we say hour two for our television side when the show's an hour and a half, and you're like, hour two, and you're an hour and a half. On radio, we insert commercials. It's the second hour of the show. On television, it is just the second, what, or the third 30 minutes of the show. So welcome in. It's always more fun. We have just a ton of fun on the show, and maybe sometimes more than we should. I'm your host, Kavan Bordelon. Caleb Morse, the Rustic Renegade, is here. He is our veteran firearms blue oyster bar expert. At the bar, we have Chris Smith of Lafayette Marble and Granite. We have Grant Galatus of Big A Bed of Diamonds Philes. He is our BPC 157 expert, which we're going to get to later in the show. But for this segment, we have to continue the conversation.

SPEAKER_03 46:45

Before you go into it, you're talking about firearms and other. So I went to a gun show this weekend.

SPEAKER_01 46:48

Wait, you went to a like a like a traditional to see what they were overcharging for.

SPEAKER_03 46:54

Yeah, it was the first time I've been in a long time. And I walked in. He's like, sir, do you have any Grant's gonna love this? Do you have any guns you want to declare? And I went, bam.

SPEAKER_01 47:03

So for those nice for those who are on the radio side, because radio is just audio, Caleb like made a muscle and thought he was cute. Anyway.

SPEAKER_00 47:14

I didn't see that one coming, actually.

SPEAKER_03 47:15

Yeah, no, it was when he asked me, there was not no pre uh pre-planning or anything else. My buddy was like, what the hell? I got two of those.

SPEAKER_01 47:23

All right. So to go back to the conversation from hour one, which by the way, if you missed any of it, find us on podcast, find us on YouTube, X, Instagram, Apple, Spotify. We're all those places. The Fauci hearing in the Senate to me was not a shit show. Well, and we got to edit that. I forgot we weren't in bonus content.

SPEAKER_00 47:45

Shah show.

SPEAKER_01 47:45

Yeah, and we do have to edit it on video as well. I apologize.

SPEAKER_00 47:49

The young man is passionate about this. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 47:51

It but it wasn't, it wasn't the mess people thought it was. I believe it was the foundation, legally, of a lot of things that are to come. So let's talk about why it's a legal foundation. So, first of all, I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. Don't care if you're Republican, don't care if you're a Democrat. I don't care. Because look, the Republicans, we got Republicans that are guilty, they lie the whole nine yards. It's one big club up there, and we ain't in it. But the Republicans at least laid out a case for doing the right thing. What do I mean by that? The Republicans brought receipts. They brought his own emails. How about Fauci's own words to prove how he lied to the American people, how he may have committed crimes with regards to using government employees to further his own personal finances around all of this. They laid it all out. What's the saying how's the saying going? No one makes me bleed my own blood. Dwight Goodman. Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. I'm not nearly as dumb as you think as I thought you think I was. All right. But here's why I think it was the legal foundation. Number one, we got a lot of facts. We got a lot of facts as released on.gov websites. So if you want to go to the source, you can go read them. They're all there. That's the first part of the foundation. The next part of the foundation is yes, Anthony Fauci hid behind Fifth Amendment privilege over a hundred times. I mean, seriously, it was Dave Chappelle. One, two, three, four, fifth. I mean, it was that it was that whole thing.

SPEAKER_03 49:25

I've seen the memes already, too.

SPEAKER_01 49:26

It was that whole thing. And it was, it was so funny. But I believe that he may have backed himself into a corner here by doing that. So let's start with questions that people had. I got questions today. Hey, he can't take the fifth, he was pardoned. Because legal precedent says that if you have been pardoned, you cannot hide behind the Fifth Amendment. So now the question becomes, well, how does he get to take the fifth? Well, there's a couple of things that to me now come into play. The first of which is he is now basically in contempt of the United States Senate. Because he made a statement, and this is the really crazy part. He didn't just walk in and say, I'm not having a statement. I am gonna sit here and answer the fifth on everything. He made a statement and then said, I'm not answering any questions, but I got to present my own statement. That is not how legal proceedings like that work. So that's number one. Number two. Does he really have a pardon now? And here's why I asked that. So if he had a pardon, and the precedent is you have a pardon, you have to answer it, and you can't be prosecuted for it, well, then you just answer it. So by him not answering and hiding behind the Fifth Amendment, is Fauci himself saying, My pardon's not valid. Which, if I was an attorney, I would go to court and say, the the defendant himself does not believe he has a pardon, because if he believed he had a pardon, he would have just said everything and he would have answered every question. But he himself does not believe he has a pardon and he attempted to hide behind the Fifth Amendment. Therefore, his pardon, regardless of whether it's an autopen signature or not, his pardon's not valid. That now pushes this up to the Supreme Court, and now you start getting this argument. So I I think you have some legal chess maneuvering here that has to create some situation. Because if I'm Fauci, literally, I am going to answer every question with the utmost honesty with everything I did to break the law, and here's why. Because even if I said, Yeah, I lied because I intended to murder 40 million people. If they go, oh, we gotta prosecute them now, I'm gonna say, wait, I have a pardon. I and and then they're gonna want to prosecute me, and I'm gonna say, nope, I'm gonna appeal it because I have a pardon. And I'm gonna take it all the way to the Supreme Court. And I don't see how the Supreme Court could rule against a defendant who honestly believes he had a pardon. It's not on me that I got a phone call that Potato Head pardoned me, right? It's not up to me to validate that. It's up to the government to validate that the pardon is legal. If I am functioning under the assumption, that's not fair.

SPEAKER_03 52:19

Here, here's a defense to him that I didn't think of, my AI thought of, right? And it and it's actually a really good point. So his pardon was for any offense against the United States committed between January 1st, 2014, and January 19th, 2015, arising from any manner related to his service, right? Any list of his service. What it does not exclude him from are state crimes. I I've heard of states getting ready to go after him. Yep, so a state-specific crime, his pardon would not stand. But here's the question. But they have to prove that he targeted that state specifically.

SPEAKER_01 52:57

Well, okay, so we we heard from the former attorney general of Florida that he specifically went to Florida when they were trying to fight him on lockdowns and called the governor names publicly, was maneuvering behind the scenes. So you might have that that legal burden met because of his actions there. I mean, the you've got so many things at play here with it that now create questions that you ultimately look at it and go, because I'm telling you, if it's me, I'm gonna be like, wait, you have to argue that it was against any state. I argued it because of the federal scenario, not because of the boundaries of the state. You can always argue it back to a federal court.

SPEAKER_03 53:37

Well, and Florida would have been his best. Well, that they would have been the best one or easiest one to go after. But look, they've been shutting down uh uh alligator Alcatraz. They've shut it down, they stopped production of the second one as well, actually. So when we look at what these other states are doing, I don't think you're gonna have 50 states speak out against Fauci. You might. I think you'll have like 37.

SPEAKER_01 53:56

Well, I tell you, all that matters is one that has the death penalty. That's all that matters. Yeah, Chris, you want to chime in?

SPEAKER_02 54:01

How about internationally? Now he was uh funding the Wuhan stuff, and he's got a lot of uh international uh I don't know, a pull, appeal. Well, hold on, hold on. Is there any way that he could predicted?

SPEAKER_03 54:15

He the problem with that would be that you would have to find him liable and not the government liable. Okay. So him directly as not as opposed to not the government dictating him, because then you would implicate the president at the time.

SPEAKER_01 54:25

So hold on. Here's the problem that he has in that scenario. He was utilizing government dollars to generate personal income for himself outside of the government.

SPEAKER_03 54:36

So if he would operate outside his purview, then he opens himself up to the liability.

SPEAKER_01 54:39

And he operated outside of the purview of his position to use to use United States taxpayer dollars to fund biomedical or bioweapon research in a foreign country, which is against the United States law. Which he's now, I mean, so you start to think about all the possibilities and ways that you could get creative to and look to to back to Grant's point, is he the guy that really pulled the strings? No. Is he guilty of sin? Yes. And if you want, if you want a squealer, I'll show you a squealer. That guy is definitely a squealer. That's all you need.

SPEAKER_00 55:13

You know, and and wait, wait, and guess whose money is behind this man walking into Congress today and and refusing to answer questions. Yours and mine. The money, look, if we're sitting here debating this, the legal minds behind his actions today know a hell of a lot more about where he's going and what's going to be happening. Because if anything, he didn't look nervous to me. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 55:36

Oh no, so so the money thought he did.

SPEAKER_00 55:38

Look, the money uh of the big people we were talking about earlier behind all of his actions today. Uh trust me, they're on top of this. And I can't wait to see the angle. From a legalese perspective, this is gonna be fascinating.

SPEAKER_01 55:49

I would say if you don't walk in, the money behind him, the money behind him is nervous. You know why the money behind him is nervous?

SPEAKER_00 55:56

So nervous that they told him go in there and don't answer a dang question.

SPEAKER_01 56:00

That's the proof that they're nervous, that they told him to go in there, make a statement.

SPEAKER_00 56:03

I think they have something up their sleeve.

SPEAKER_01 56:05

Our attorney, our attorney is going to be so boisterous, he's gonna get himself thrown out because they're looking for some kind of loophole to say he didn't have representation, right? They are nervous enough that they are like, look, this guy, we're gonna send him in there. And if he doesn't do exactly what he says, you never know when you're gonna find somebody who is suicided himself with two shotgun wounds, hanging himself with a shotgun a hundred feet away and no shells around.

SPEAKER_03 56:30

I mean So earlier you you brought up international law, and it made me I've been sitting here dwelling on that, right? And I really think that would be probably the the most direct course because when you look at the United States and international law and how we placate to other countries, crimes against humans. Well, look back at look at Nasser Square, uh Raven 23 was a Blackwater team that got in a lot of trouble there, and they were actually all found innocent. They were tried overseas with no U.S. help, nothing else, and then got put in U.S. prisons for international crimes. That might be the most direct route to what we see as real justice with this.

SPEAKER_01 57:04

Now you make me bring up another question, though. So think about all the different agencies that Fauci interacted with and where a lot of the vaccines came from inside of the United States of America. We there's strong suspicion that he interacted with the intelligence community. But strong, but but look, that's not going to necessarily get you justice. Matter of fact, I'd argue that keeps you farther away from justice. The military, however, doesn't put you under international law, but it could be under military tribunal.

SPEAKER_03 57:38

It would be cleaner for the U.S. to allow him to go to international law and at least be charged internationally because you go to a tribunal. Doing a tribunal, while it is a much more direct and swift response, you would have to have direct links and ties with a lot of it. So possibly the easiest way would be to the force mandate of vaccines, but that's been done by the military. Well, hold on.

SPEAKER_01 57:56

You had him involved in military ships being moved. I mean, you had him involved in military funding, and I mean, you had a lot of interaction between him and the military as well, right?

SPEAKER_03 58:06

And they would also have to, they would have to go after the the uh the panel, the board, the generals at the time, which hey, look, some of those people sure deserve to get in trouble.

SPEAKER_01 58:14

Hold on. Who were they taking advice from? Because they were told, just like we were, to trust the science, which was lied about it. Correct. So now this is the other thing, and I think, Grant, this brings us farther down the rabbit hole that you were going down, which is this. The other big takeaway that I had from all of this if anyone out there, whether you are Republican or Democrat, if you think there's no such thing as a bureaucratic deep state, this was your proof of how deep the deep state is. That you have a guy who's supposed to be there that the president of the United States expects to be giving him sound advice. And he is purposefully, by his own admission, misleading the executive branch of the United States of America to his own ends. Right? Fauci is is decepting the uh dear lord, Fauci is purposely deceiving the president of the United States to get him to quote box him in where he has no other choice. This was brought out in the hearing today. Right? We want to box the president in so he has no choice other than to do what we are telling him.

SPEAKER_02 59:28

I mean, he did that with the mayors, they did that with governors, he did that with everyone.

SPEAKER_01 59:32

It's the definition of the deep state, right? He he let's remember, he was not originally a Trump appointee. However, Trump kept him. Trump signed off on him.

SPEAKER_05 59:43

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 59:44

And you look at it and go, well, he trusted him. So that's a ding on Trump. He trusted somebody who said to trust him. Correct. Which is the definition of the deep state.

SPEAKER_00 59:54

So you're saying it came out that Fauci had all of this information to himself and he was misleading uh the White House to get him to get them to do what he was during during the the congressional or the sen the Senate hearing with Fauci, it was brought out that Dr, I believe it was Dr.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:12

Burks in her book, said that they had a meeting on this date. He said they had a meeting on that date, but that the intent of the meeting was to box in the president to give him no choice other than to take his recommendation. Think about that for a minute. Instead of if the if the executive branch says, I want options, what are my options? And this person says, Well, there's an option we're intentionally keeping from you. Yeah, and Walker's giving us the one-minute finger, he's not flailing over there. He's a short timer, he doesn't give a crap anymore.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:44

We gotta wrap. But it plays into what we were talking about because this president wasn't somebody who was really difficult to put into a box. Then you bring in the CDC, you bring in Wine Garden, Board of Education, you bring on all those other people, and I can see a collaborative to get uh Biden to do what they wanted him to do. But I I can't buy Fauci. I can't buy Fauci being uh holding the rings.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:03

We'll prove that wrong in just a minute when we come back because Fauci wasn't the only one to do it on implicit bias radio. Hour two of implicit bias radio is always more fun. Why? Because, well, we're we're almost two hours into weekly whiskey, and we are just having a good time in the Mr. Lester's top secret podcast layer, located somewhere in Lafayette, Louisiana. I'm your host, Kavan Bordelon. Caleb Morris is here with us. He is the Rustic Renegade. He is also the owner of the Rustic Renegade, a fantastic men's boutique, gun shop, all thing men, men, men, men, men, right, Caleb? I like the I I really like the explanation.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:35

But you have stuff for ladies also. I do. I do like attractive men.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:40

Which means Caleb's not at work often. Anyway, at the bar, Chris Smith of Lafayette Marble and Granite, who, by the way, Chris, the family is still thrilled with the new countertops in the kitchen. I mean, just absolutely look fantastic. If you have not had the opportunity, much like Ferris Bueller says, if you have the means, I highly recommend acquiring one. Granite, slab granite countertops are just fantastic.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:02

Now, did y'all do bull nose or like chisel face?

SPEAKER_01 1:02:04

We we thought about doing chisel faced. It's just not functional to keep it clean and do all that stuff. So we nothing functional is fun.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:10

It'll tear your clothes up pretty good. I mean, it's beautiful. That's why you don't wear clothes in the kitchen. Well, that that else happens.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:16

Well, but also you don't want things to catch on the edge while you're not wearing clothes in the kitchen.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:20

All right, well, it's you're a little short for that. I'll be okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:24

Well, well, I'm not going there on the radio. I'm not because I I had the response. I was like, I can't say that because the FCC might get mad. Yeah. Um, anyway, let's just say, you know, some of us are more gifted than others. Anyway, so on to Grant Galatis. He is KB of William S. Nacall, Jewelers here in Lafayette. He does big a beta diamonds for less. So it's like we kind of have, you know, all the stuff for all the guys and some of the ladies where Caleb's shop is, and all of the ladies and some of the guys where your shop is, Grant.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:50

Yeah, it's it's mostly female. No, many. I'm wearing one of y'all's wedding rings right now. Yeah, the little wedding bands, there's like a three-foot case, and then there's some watches and beautiful selection watches.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:01

You've got some chains. Deep blue on the bar came from you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:04

This is true.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:05

So, yeah, I mean, you've got stuff for the whiskey drinker as well, because that is non-leaded crystal. Correct. So that we can store our infinity bottle, deep blue, here on the show, in that bottle right there on the bar.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:16

It's a nice, it's a nice change because you don't often uh see guys coming in, uh, let me peruse your crystal. So having guys come in and saying, Where's that decanter I heard about?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:25

See, here's the problem though, Grant, because I know you are from a certain part of the country, and it means guys probably did want to see your family jewels frequently. That was too easy.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:34

You know, guys, we we tend to we don't go into jewelry stores thinking about getting stuff for ourselves very often, but y'all are a shop that does complete custom too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:40

You know, I was about to say on advice of my counsel.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:43

Yeah. I'm gonna go to the case. You know, if I wanted a one-of-one signet ring or if I wanted something like that, like y'all, y'all do one off. And when we look at jewelry businesses that exist now, there's not many that do that anymore. Uh, so y'all are a phenomenal company, as Walker kicks that camera. Um, y'all are a phenomenal company that does it all in-house. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:02

I didn't wear mine this week just because I happened to leave it on the dresser before I ran out of the house. But my 25th anniversary present from my wife, my custom one-of-one St. Michael the Archangel silver ring uh with the blue enamel inlay. Just absolutely love wearing it. It's gorgeous. It's a fantastic piece.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:18

There's a lot of new advances. Uh my son and my nephew actually went over to Stellar's and uh actually I'm sorry, do a little shout out. I know Matt Stellar said he listens to the show. Hey, thanks for watching. I've been wanting to say hi to him. Uh but uh yeah, the Caleb knows with the with the engravers and the 3D technology and uh everything done on CAD with uh computer animated drawings. Oh my God, it's it's it's really the the advances are just multiplying right before you. So yeah, Caleb's very correct. You can do a lot of one-off stuff. And when you think about it, be creative with it.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:49

When you think about who we have here tonight, right? Like nothing here is cookie cutter. The show is not cookie cutter. No, we are not. The the the panel here is not cookie cutter because we have uh, you know, I I do factory firearms, one-off firearms, you do factory jewelry, one-off jewelry. And uh and Chris, I don't think that any countertop backsplash or anything that involves granite, marble anything else is is cookie cutter.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:08

Everything's custom. And we do the same thing. We got CAD, we do water jetting, uh, I mean anything you want. We can pretty much do waterfall edges, we can box some things in. Um yeah, everything custom. Uh ladies love that.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:20

All right, so let's jump back to where we were in the last segment because Caleb, um, I mentioned to Grant, I'm gonna I'm gonna demonstrate to you how the deep state was able to put Trump in a box.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:31

We know this now because of emails. Please, by the way, for our WGNO listeners and viewers, thanks for watching. We appreciate you being here. And this is a common saying you will hear on the show. Please don't believe us. Please go look this up because this this is what helps change minds and helps us understand exactly what's happening in the world. We know this from released emails from President Trump's address to the nation on election integrity. The intelligence community was able to put the president into a little box where they literally, and this is the quote from the email from Nikki Flores we are removing all election references from the PDB presidential daily briefing in order to keep this in a context which we want that he does not need to know and we do not want him to know about. Now that's not a direct quote. Please go look up the email, the quote's there. But she does say, and this is a quote, we are removing all references to election from the presidential daily briefing. So it's that simple, right? One person can't know everything, and if somebody doesn't do the job that they are commissioned and bathed to do, they can absolutely usurp the elected official that they are supposed to serve. And that's essentially what Fauci was doing I'm not going to give him all the information. I'm not going to give him everything we know. I'm going to give him what I want him to know. And I'm going to give him enough information for me to control this while he thinks he controls it.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:11

Well, that's what an intelligence brief is, right? So we have uh intel gatherers, right? You have intelligence analysts, counterintelligence analysts, and you have uh counterintelligence gatherers and informants that are gonna bring that data. And then your fusion centers and analysts put it together in in chunkable, readable chunks, formats we can understand. And then you're supposed to convey that at an intel brief to someone to where they can understand it and then formulate a uh a genuine hypothesis on it. So that analyst, if they have a motive, they can bend it and put the intelligence, have they can span the intelligence their way.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:47

How about this? This is a great way to think about it. I'm an independent driver, right? I have my own thoughts, my own conclusions about the decisions I am going to make. If I am headed down a road that has a railroad track on it, I am looking for information, and someone says, you know what, we are going to turn off the railroad signals that tells Kavan that a train is coming. And I am dealing with 500 other things. I don't see the signals that say a train is coming. How do you miss a train? Well, guess what? If everything that's supposed to tell you the train is coming is turned off by someone who doesn't want you to know about that train, getting hit by that train becomes real easy. That's essentially the scenario that you had with Nikki Flores and with Fauci. And we know this because of their own communications. Please don't believe us. Go look it up.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:39

Okay. But if if it's involves the intelligence community and they're trying to keep it out of the presidential daily briefing, uh if if they're uh exploring or investigating a certain angle and they want to keep it out of the public perception, then the best way to do that is to keep him from going up to the to the microphone every day and speaking about it. Well, remember, this happened. I'm just saying it it could be something that's not nefarious. It could be I can I can see either side of the aisle doing this to where you want the president to draw a little, get the spotlight off of it.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:09

I get I get what you're saying. In other words, there are something that's not a good thing.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:12

It is possible if they're uh exploring an avenue, if they're doing especially with the intelligence community, if they're if they're looking into something on either side. The problem is asking more so then.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:22

No, I I agree. But here's the problem. So the question is how do you know if I'm hearing you right? How do you know this is nefarious as opposed to we're actually trying to protect the secrets that need to be protected? You know it's nefarious because Nikki Flores wrote in an email, I am now essentially running a shadow government in the FBI. That's how you know. Because she admits I am running a shadow government. She wrote it. It's in her emails. Please don't believe us. Go look it up.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:46

Good Lord. Christopher Ray was doing one and straight out in public because he was a Trump employee uh appointee, and he was actually running it at everything against Trump.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:54

Ring the bell. There's the point.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:55

So it's not, I mean, it's not unprecedented.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:57

There's the point.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:57

Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:58

Okay. So we're gonna shift gears.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:00

I hate that guy too. Christopher Ray, I just want to punch him in his face. I squeeze your head.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:03

Anyway, so here's here's what we should do. We're gonna jump topics, right? And this actually does all tie in because it's what do people not know about that certain people don't want them knowing about, right? One of the things that Fauci didn't want people knowing about was guess what? The effectiveness of two drugs that were already on the market, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. The proof was all right there. We got this in the hearing today that he saw the proof and effectively said, Yeah, we're not gonna do that. We're gonna go with resemdivir, which is uh running runaway death is near, was the joke that healthcare providers would do when they gave it to people, right? Run death is near as opposed to randomzivir or however you say it. But my point is you literally had a guy who was director of medical, they called him the everybody's doctor, the guy who delivered meds to my parents on his bike. I wouldn't have hired him. Right? Now he's hiding stuff from the American people that worked, that they knew worked. Why? So they could keep the emergency authorization for certain vaccines because if they had active drugs that they knew could be prescribed, they could not keep the emergency authorization. Yeah, but isn't that what a lot of our doctors do?

SPEAKER_03 1:11:15

We look at now what medical marijuana and everything else.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:18

Ah, that's the big one. Peptides. And now, are we at one minute already?

SPEAKER_03 1:11:22

Yeah, yeah. He just took his pants off, dude, to catch your own.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:24

Oh dear God. That tells us we're at 30 seconds. Anyway, we'll be back next segment of Implicit Bias Radio Penultimate after this.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:31

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:32

On Implicit Bias Radio. BPC157 on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. We heard about Anthony Fauci for most of the show so far. I'm your host, Kavan Bordelon. And then we went from Anthony Fauci, who is hiding hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and its efficacy in order to get other drugs potentially on the market and vaccines on the market and all that other stuff, which brought us then to the conversation of a bunch of peptides. Just low-key got approved by the boards in the FDA, and we're waiting to see kind of what that looks like in the market. But the big one that everybody seems to be talking about is what they call the Wolverine stack, which is BP157. Now, I'm gonna give you the story that everybody's talking about before we get into what it can actually do for you. So the legend behind BPC 157, and I have investigated this. Yes, this trial was true. BPC 157 was found to have some healing capabilities as a peptide. So during a study, some scientists went in and actually severed, I cannot remember if it was the MCL or the ACL of a rat in a study. And then they start injecting the knee joint with BPC 157. Now your ligaments don't heal on their own. They don't heal on their own in mice either. And take a guess what healed on its own once BPC 157 was introduced. The the ligament in the rat's knee. So that's why they call it the Wolverine Stack because the allegation is it's got healing power. So Grant, you are you are our resident BPC 157 expert. We're gonna leave it out as to why, but we're just gonna say you are you are the guy who might know for a reason. What's the experience like what what are you seeing and hearing?

SPEAKER_00 1:13:20

It's funny because the first time I heard about it was was on Rogan. Joe Rogan was talking about it, and uh, and then someone at Reds who I know asked me if I had heard about it because he was taking subcutaneous injections.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:34

It's that's Jimmy John, the sandwich guy.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:37

Uh but it it is is billed as a repair peptide. It doesn't have FDA approval.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:43

So But it's a it has gotten the votes to now be FDA approval. Correct.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:47

Yeah. So so wonderful. Now Big Pharma's gonna get involved and who God knows. Well you might actually but No, it's too, it's too available.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:55

Number one. Number two, I think what you actually might see is some purity and some check because with it being a black market product prior to this, correct? You don't always know what if what you're getting is BPC 157 or saline solution that you're putting into an eating.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:09

Correct. And then that's why I did a lot of reading on it before, and it was it was, you know, put out there as a repair peptide. And it puts a lot of oxygen-rich blood cells into uh a damaged area. I have a slap tear in my shoulder. Uh I heard a couple of guys at at Reds were doing it, and they told me where they were getting it. And one of the big things that I read was the purity factor. Uh, you have to be very careful with this stuff, especially if it's not regulated or or FDA approved.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:36

But yeah, we are not advocating for anybody to go take this. This is the legend behind this. We were just talking about what the legend is.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:42

Correct. And and the guys that I spoke to had been taking it for six months, no adverse effects. Uh, and it has actually helped with my the the slap tear in my shoulder. Uh, it does it, it does alleviate the pain. I don't I didn't expect it to heal it like a uh uh a rat knee.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:57

Have you had a doctor, did you have a doctor look at it and say you have a slap tear and now a doctor looks at it and says I did have an MRI.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:02

I haven't had a follow-up MRI since I've been doing it. So I'm not yeah again, I'm not endorsing anyone to do it. I just thought I would, based on uh miss my own little uh uh clinical trial runs with with some of the guys at Reds. I wait to see if they fall down first before I talk about it.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:18

The potential risk was worth the potential reward.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:21

Correct. And it's it's it's a small dosage. And the funny thing we were talking about it earlier before we were recording, and uh I've found that I haven't taken it, I haven't taken the injections personally administered and and left it alone to see if it would have healing qualities. It just kind of numbs it because I'm not gonna stop my workout routine.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:39

Well, and that's what you would need to do. You would need to give the muscle time to repair.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:42

Correct. But I've been very surprised with how it does mask and how it does tend to alleviate the symptoms of of what I usually experience.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:50

See, I'm just lazy, so this might be wonderful for me.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:55

But it it's very interesting. But but again, now now that it's gotten a lot of attention, again, the first time I heard about it was on Rogan, and he said uh everyone he's he he talks to, the results from this. Now, if if you deep dive enough as I did, there are some tumor uh concerns.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:13

Okay, so there are potential adverse effects?

SPEAKER_00 1:16:16

Correct. But just because there's no long-term clinical studies on it. So everyone is taking it just because they like myself, they hear as they it's a little bit risky.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:23

So let me so let me ask this is this like when you see a commercial on TV and they're like, side effects might include anal leakage.

unknown 1:16:33

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:33

Side effects might include anal leakage. Well, and you look at you know, side effects might include death, side effects might include epilepsy, side effects might include I mean, they and they go through all these things.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:46

There are all these different variables, there are all these different things that can come from it. And what what we need to realize is like we outlawed a lot of this stuff because of gambling, first and foremost.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:55

We're gonna go to gambling next segment.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:56

Well, yeah, but that's why a lot of it came into being outlawed. Why do you think that they outlawed testosterone and and salt? Creatine was an issue.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:04

Creatine was an issue in the 90s with baseball.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:07

My multivitamin animal pack that I take has been banned from a lot of things because they feel that it gives it an unfair advantage. So, but when you look at Arnold, how does Arnold now? He's uh 80. 195? Yeah. So we look at now, your body doesn't understand the difference between 300 pounds of fat and 300 pounds of muscle. The machine still functions, right? So suck, squeeze, bang, blow the way engine works. Same thing with the human body, the way it works. So when we look at BPP, BPC 157, testosterone, all this other stuff, different people are going to respond differently to it. But science has said that you may, not you will or won't, but you may see tendon injuries recovered, you may see better uh neurological uh function, you may see uh faster muscle recovery, they see bone marrow being reduced.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:47

These are studies that say you may, right? And we are not scientists by any stretch of the form, except for when it comes to whiskey.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:52

Anyway, that's so there's all these there's all these different things that can happen. And look, you might be the one in however many that doesn't have that effect. You might.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:00

But also you also might be the one who, next thing you know, you have gangrene of your toe because of it.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:05

I mean, uh, who knows? But the the miles you put on your body are miles. You know, when you look at at uh at Grant, someone the average person of your age isn't in your shape, right? Because you've kind of taken care of yourself. But during that taking care of yourself, you put miles and wear and tear on the knees, the joints, the back, the shoulder, everything. And and when we look at BPP BPC 157 and many, many other things, the veteran community, which is why you see from Joe Rogan, because veteran community and the jujitsu and fighter community, there's a lot of wear and tear on that body.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:35

Oh, absolutely. Uh I'd like to say it's a lifelong dedication to health and fitness, but uh my wife follows me to work. She follows me home. She says I have to go to Reds just to get me out.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:46

So here's here's the question.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:48

So I'll figure I'll work out while I'm over there.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:50

I'd be curious to see what percentage of the professional wrestling community has been on BPC 157 for a while, because the injury rate that those guys go through, I mean, the wear and tear on the body when you're jumping from 20 feet onto a table and you're even if, oh, the the mat has plywood and a little bit of padding underneath, that doesn't feel good. The body does not absorb that easily. These guys have a massive, well-recorded history of just injury after injury. Hulk Hogan, before he died, it's like 30 or 70 surgeries. I mean, the number was just insane.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:23

Well, if you wanted to get a real study, you could do professional athletes, being wrestler, be it fighter, be it football, basketball, baseball, whatever, right? And you'll have some that will sign up to do it. That they'll be like, you know what? Yeah, the $107 million contract app is worth it. But if you want to get a real study that shows a lot of information, make it legal for soldiers to do. Yeah. You'll get Johnny, Johnny dumbass, uh, who makes $21,000 a year, who's like, look, I drink a six pack of natty's light, natty light every 15 minutes. I'll do that. That's what he'll say. That private, that specialist, they'll do it because that's what the government does anyway. Look at all the stuff they pump our soldiers and veterans full of.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:58

Well, look what they did with the I mean, the Tuskegee Airmen. I mean, when you start looking at what they did with experiments on U.S.

SPEAKER_00 1:20:04

soldiers, it's like, oh, yeah, and we don't the the thing I find a little concerning, and and and you've had uh reports or cases like this throughout history when when you do have something that people seem to respond to or that people do find the reason. Yeah, Kaiser Sozin. Yeah, and it's yeah, but it's it's outside of the normal channels for this kind of stuff to actually help people. It it it's weird how it gets kind of caught up in a bureaucratic red tape for the case. Almost like because when when you come up against big pharma, especially I'll but say almost like somebody doesn't want you to know that it would heal you.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:33

Correct. So they could keep selling you the stuff that never heals you in order for them to make money. Correct.

SPEAKER_00 1:20:39

It just seems like what would be best for the general population or what would be good for us in general. Sometimes it takes a backseat to a lot of bureaucratic BS.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:48

So what you're saying is it sounds like the game is rigged. Kind of like if you bet on it, they wouldn't want to pay you out. And there we go. That's one-minute finger, whether Walker recognizes it or not. We're gonna take a break. We're gonna come back, close out this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio with our final story that's like, what the game is rigged and you probably don't even know it on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. I'm your host, Kavon Bordelon. Don't forget to go down to Mr. Lester Steakhouse, the only five-star restaurant between New Orleans and Houston. Their bourbon selection has gotten absolutely plaid. I mean, it went straight past ludicrous speed to plaid and is absolutely wonderfully obscene.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:32

The bar is stacked. Like it there's no other way to say it.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:35

No, there really isn't. Absolutely fantastic. That is Caleb Morse at the bar. We've got Chris Smith, we've got Grant Galatus, and this is the final segment of this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Of course, that's not bonus content. We might do some other bonus content because we're having a ton of fun on the episode this week. All right, so this last story, we always try to save something fun. This is more disgusting to me than it is fun, but it's kind of a fun story. In the last two weeks, we have seen two, three stories, four stories. One of them they made a documentary about that that just happened to pop up in the timeline because of the stories. Because online betting has become such a big thing. And if you don't know, this is why number one, I would think you shouldn't online bet. If they don't want to pay you, it seems like they won't. Why do I say that? So, in the last week, a story of a person who started with a $325 bet. $325. This person ran their parlay to $14 million. Did you think they got paid? How about? No. I mean, somehow the there was a loophole that the online betting casino said, oh, it didn't quite meet all of these criteria. So guess what? You ain't getting paid. Grant, tell us the story behind that one because I I kinda understand the the casino, the bookie side of this.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:08

You can't, though, because the whole premise of gambling is uh no matter how the ball bounces, no matter how the balls are. The house wins. Well, yeah, yeah, that's how it turns out. But it shouldn't be that way. Because you're you're you're risking your money on their site and you're saying, I predict it'll go this way. They say, put your money where your mouth is, however the however the dice are rolled, however the ball bounces, whatever the outcome, if you are correct and we are not, then you will make your money. Okay, so in 2024 ATT Pebble Beach uh Pro Am Golf Tournament, he put a $325 bet. Now there was inclement weather rolling in. So he based his bet, he bet correctly, the the top 20 finishers in order based on a shortened tournament. And he was 54 holes, right? Wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:51

So he bet it based on a shortened tournament.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:53

Yeah. He used weather predictions to anticipate that rain would put in the tournament, which would freeze the standings after 54 holes. Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:01

The event still paid out other bets. And part of his case says that, well, if I had lost, you still would have taken my money. You wouldn't have given it back. So it was a valid bet. They just rescinded their half because he was of his payout.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:14

Yeah. Because the amount of his payout. So hold on. He won too much money. So let's stop right here.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:19

So this was sportsbook, which is they paid DraftKings. They paid some bets that won, just not at the level that he won. Correct. They kept the money from bets that lost.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:31

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:32

For the shortened tournament, but said, Oh, we owe this guy 14 million dollars in change. Screw him.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:40

Correct. That's how it came out.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:41

Just him. Just him. Correct. So did he not file this case under a discrimination law?

SPEAKER_00 1:24:46

Well, he he filed, they didn't say uh I would have filed a discrimination lawsuit. But I've heard that he lost.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:52

He did. Of course he lost.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:54

Why? Because somebody went and made a big campaign contribution to somebody, and some strings probably got pulled somewhere.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:01

Okay, look, you're gonna love this because my son, Dylan, your future son-in-law. Yeah. Uh it angered him. So he did a little bit of a deep dive. In 2025, DraftKings six billion dollars in revenue. That $14 million was a rounding error. It was a toenail, basically. In the last five years, they've averaged $9.8 million a day. In revenue? In revenue. Oh, my stomach hurts. This kid, this kid actually predicted the top 20 people finishers in order. So this is my problem. And that was only like that was only like 4.6 million of his payout because there was like five other things to his problem. Yeah, there were five other parts.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:45

And this is and this is where Walker said, oh, but it's it's one bed, it's one casino. Hold on. It's not, it's a pattern. There was another gambler who went online and turned it into like 300,000 in winnings. And literally, like when they cashed out, they went to cash out, they said, here's 50 grand, you can collect arrest tomorrow. And then the next day, wiped their account, kept the money, and said, Sorry, you're get you get nothing.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:12

Yeah, it was actually 800,000. It was 800,000. That's uh McPeak, huh? McPeak. So uh the individual went to an Iowa casino, uh, did the same thing. They paid him the 110 and said, Don't come back anymore. They kind of figured he game the game. He did the research, figured out the the edges in the parlays, and then went to two other Caesars casinos and ended up winning. They did pay him the 50. And then after that said, Sainara, you know, we're we're wiping the bets. The 50 was his in bet. So they paid him back what he had in, but he was 800,000 to the plus, did not pay him. And then went to court. The there is a three-line like charge, most of everything redacted, just saying, All right, you violated this rule, you violated this rule, we're not paying.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:56

We have seen multiple times in the last couple of years people who have gone online and done like video poker, and this almost seems to always happen online, right? Where they're playing video poker, they're betting sports bets or all this, and they win all this money. And for some reason, whoever they bet with says, Oh yeah, the system was broken. That was a glitch. This wasn't supposed to happen. And whenever they go to court, for some reason, the court always sides with the house.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:31

So growing up in New Orleans, we would go to play poker quite a bit, and we have seen somebody win the jackpot, and we stay there for a couple hours just playing, and they leave the office pissed off because they said that it was some kind of error with the machine that they had won. Well, guess what? So guess who's running the machine and who's responsible for the machine? But this isn't online, this is face-to-face, hand-to-hand, uh, a place that is making dollar over dollar.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:55

But they're playing uh video poker as opposed to table poker, correct?

SPEAKER_01 1:27:58

Or or a digital slot machine as opposed to digital slots. But here herein lies my point. This is not like cards. This is like me too. This is why I liken this to the art forger being brought in to certify that the forgery is the real thing. Because at the end of the day, if somebody sits down on their phone and says, Hey, I'm gonna place this bet, and I I turn a $325 bet into $50,000. It's a huge return on a bet. Right? And all of a sudden somebody says, Sorry, we're not paying you. It was a glitch in the software. How can anyone prove that? No one on their side can prove and say, Oh, here's where the coding error was. They're not gonna do that because they're not gonna open up their software for people to see it. Right? Literally, all they have to do is go, it was an error. I have an issue with that. That to me is a rigged game that we are playing right out of the gate. That's why when we go down to Cyprus, that's why I'm playing cards. Yeah, much. And guess what? If I lose on the cards, I lose on the physical cards sitting in front of me.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:05

Because then, you know, it's it's the group the collective is playing, it's the group of people playing.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:09

Well, it's because we go as a group and we play as a group.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:11

And the odds are more in your favor at that point because it's there's human error that comes into it, there's a human element of it. So it's not just a machine sitting there rolling through it and making it happen.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:20

You know where there is a machine? Apparently, not sitting behind me, giving me the finger. That is the one-minute finger for our new visitors from WGNO in New Orleans.
