American History podcast. Each week I, Dave Anthony, read a story from American history to another guy. Yeah okay he was a good friend of Dave's named Gareth Reynolds who has no idea what the topic is going to be about. Get cocky. Well it's just the standard intro so it'd be great if you just did it the same way. Well you threw in good. Yeah I guess I did add. There's a little presumptuous. Is it friends? It's my call to make right good or just a friend you know. Pal? I like your friends. Mouth husband. Like I like your friends like Luke and Luke. Some of the other guys, Mike and some of the other guys. Mike? Who's Mike?

You made up Mike. Who's Mike? O'Connell. Oh O'Connell you're Jeff. I can't believe you're forgetting your friends. I know who he is but as he's not one of my cast and characters that you've hung out with. I like your friends. I like your friends Dave. Your call to quote is jam-packed. Jam-packed? I'm the fucking hippo guy. Dave okay. My name's Gary. My name's Gary. Wait is it for fun? And this is not going to come to Tickly Claude Kelly. Okay. And a five-part coefficient. Now hit him with the puppy. You both present sick arguments. No sleep, no hippo. That's like no hippo. Action partner. Hi Kelly. No. Nice to see you done my friend. No. Ronda. Ronda in the car.

Let's explain what's happening. Let's explain it. Okay so we record we've recorded this episode in the way that Dave wrote it and we did it in Houston with the hilarious Daniel Van Kirk. Very funny man. Unfortunately there was a technical glitch where it wasn't at all recorded. At all. And the guy said he never took the recorder from us. Yeah. Which is weird because he brought it back. He gave us one. So we're up one which is nice. So the decision to not record was made. And so but because it is topical and something Dave is very excited about. It has to be. It has to be as Dave would say. We're gonna record it

again. So I've heard this. Yeah. Who knows how much I'll remember. Not very much. Okay. But we've brought in a special guest Pam Reynolds my lovely mother. Oh my god. I didn't see you. Hi. How are you. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what happened to this episode. So we recorded it. So I've heard it. You've never heard it. And it's about George H. W. Bush. Did you know that. I've heard of him. Yeah. He's good. Do you like it. Did you like him. I don't think I did. But I think I liked him when he died because everybody else did. Well that's why I'm here. Well. There we go. Now enter my job. Mother explaining CNN. Let's straighten out. Let's straighten

out the history of the man known as George Herbert Walker Bush. Okay. And I know some people think it's wrong to to do this right after he's died. But it's worse to act like he was a great man. And to be fair we did this closer to when he died already. So we've this is the second most disrespectful it's been. That's right. We did a more disrespectful timing. Much much more disrespectful. About a week ago. Live on stage. Yeah. In the city's from. In the city it's from. And for some reason that didn't get recorded. What a weird. As a weird decision. What a weird thing that it wouldn't get recorded in Houston of all places. You

would think. You would think that Houston would be like let's record this. You talking conspiracy bro. Yep. June 12th 1924. See he's not even yelling it anymore. He's not yelling the date. He's he's over it. Yeah. Well he's read it before. Yeah. It's a second time. Yeah. But this this is a callback. Okay. We like your read. June 12th 1924. I love what I'm hearing. Spot on. Brilliant. George Herbert Walker Bush was born in Massachusetts to Prescott Sheldon Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush. Very rich people. Those are very rich sounding names. Yep. Prescott. No one names their gives their son a middle name of Sheldon

unless they're oozing cash. No. Yeah. They moved to Greenwich, Connecticut right after his birth which is where poor people go. Sure. And their vacation in Kennebunkport, Maine. Oh God. Look at this terrible place. Such a shame. Yeah. Sad. Yeah. They had a hard time. George went to exclusive private schools. 1924's grandfather had founded the Union Banking Corporation. The bank was set up for a German steel magnate. George's dad was on the board of directors beginning in 1934. Who is the steel magnate? I forgot the name. But who it's a relative? No. So his George's grandfather set up a bank just it was specifically set up to

help the steel magnate in Germany. Okay. Do his money stuff. Okay. Right. In 1941. Which sounds good. And around this time is on the up and up to be doing stuff like that. Yeah. In 1924 trying to help out Germany. Yeah. Yeah. What could go wrong? For sure. Yeah. Exactly. In 1941 the New York Herald reported quote, Hitler's angel has three million in US Bank. Mm-hmm. Sure. Yeah. You didn't hear Hitler's angel a lot. No. But. Well they fought the Hell's Angels and killed them. They did. Slowly. Now we know the guy we know the the steel magnate was a huge backer of Hitler because he wrote an autobiography called quote I Paid Hitler. Yeah. Well I mean it's funny so far how

little I remember. Wait what was the book called? I Paid Hitler. I Paid Hitler. Mine Cash. But the steel magnate and Hitler had fallen out in 1939. But a congressional investigation looked into it and found it was not Nazi money that the New York Herald had reported was in a bank. But the bank was part of a network of companies that were aiding the Nazis. Sure. And if you know the Nazis but they weren't great guys. Well Nazi adjacent. Yeah. Is a Nazi. Yeah. Right. For where I'm from. Yeah. You got a picture? We didn't get these. I do. I have pictures of there's there's daddy. There's daddy. Oh that's Prescott. Oh yeah.

You can see it. Yeah. You can see it. You can see the douchebag in the eyes. Yeah. He's got a nice little hanky in his stuff. Yeah. He's got a well folded hanky. Yeah. I think that's a thousand dollar bill crumpled up there. To light a cigar with later. So Prescott was director. He was named in the report by by Congress. UBC was then seized by the United States under the Trading with the Enemy Act. Okay. So he was the director. George Bush's dad was a director of a company that was seized for helping the Nazis. It's weird because you would think that some of those tendencies would rub off in the future generations. No. Yeah. Okay. Not

at all. Okay. Nazis not hereditary. No. Okay. After looking at the book seamless steel equipment corp was also implicated as fronting for the Nazis. It was managed by a guy named Prescott Bush. Now that's two Nazi strikes against you. That is. It's not good. That's not good. Yeah. But the bank was not broken up. And after the war it was returned to its American shareholders. It's believed that Prescott sold his shares for 1.5 million. Well that's how you learn a lesson. Yeah. Well that's teaching them. Yeah. That'll show you for helping the Nazis. Well what did I get from working with the Nazis besides 1.5 million. Yeah.

A lot of people at the time thought he should have been imprisoned because that's what the law called for. Working with the enemy. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway you made money. Yeah. America's great. At least that stuff stopped. At least we put a halt to that. Anyway right before that scandal broke young George joined the U.S. Navy. Did you know about the Bushes and the Nazis. I didn't have a clue. Are you surprised you're getting in front of that microphone. I'm very shocked actually. Yes. I didn't have any idea. So George H. W. Bush's father. Yes. Sheldon Prescott or whatever. With a thousand dollars. I don't have any photos of

the Nazis. I don't have any photos of him as a soldier which is fine but he you know. You mean in the third right gear. No. No. No. No. He. Yeah. He fought at George fought for us. He joined the Navy on his 18th birthday. Okay. And he quickly became a pilot in just three days before his 19th birthday. He was the youngest pilot in the Navy. Well it's easy to be the youngest when it takes you three days to get your license. Yeah. Well I was really fast. He was assigned to the U.S.S. San Jacinto and nicknamed skin because he was so lanky. Sure. Sure. I know it doesn't make much sense unless you have like skin hanging off of you which

you will. We'll get there. Oh yeah. That happens in the future. And that's what happens in the U.S. now. Yeah. No now. Now definitely the name. Really. It's really skinny. Yeah. He flew in the South Pacific and during a raid was shot down. Skin! Your skin's caught the propeller again! Two of his crew members were killed. Goose and Iceman? Yep. Okay. Oh so you know the story. Well I heard it once. Yeah. Goose? Graham? No. No. No. No mom. My mother has a Goose friend in England. Oh no I've seen the video of the Goose. Yeah. That's a good Goose. Yeah. He's a good Goose. Anyway. Back to the story. Yeah. So he had he over the years he had different stories of how the

guys died because as a captain you're supposed to or the pilot yeah you're supposed to jump out last. Uh huh. You're supposed to make sure your crew is safe and then you go but there's different versions of what happened. So potentially he prematurely ejaculated. But that's one of those things where you know you give the guy a break on that one because because you're like in the throes of death. Yeah. Right. So you're like hey I'm sorry about all that protocol nonsense. So George spent 90 minutes in the sea before being rescued. All the time they were trying to kill him and jets were jets but planes were circling around American planes to try and keep him safe while fighting off the enemy. So it was a whole

thing. Okay. Other guys got captured and their livers eaten by the Japanese. Pardon? Yep. Did you hear that? I know they were very cruel the Japanese. Yeah but they ate the livers of some of the men that they took. Yeah. I think yes I'm not surprised actually. Yeah you're not surprised by the liver eating. No I'm not. I am a bit really. Is that because of the English cuisine? Oh we love a bit and a Yankee liver. Where's the bacon? Yeah. That's not. I like chips with mine. Oh yeah. Oh it's the gravy. Gravy on it yeah. Oh liver. He's a fryer. Liver and gravy. Uh so after he got rescued he went back to flying missions. He ended up flying 58 combat missions and

was decorated with the distinguished flying cross and three air medals and then he was sent to Norfolk or Navy Base to train other pilots and he married Barbara Pierce. So George was honorably discharged on September 1945. He was also later that night in the wedding bed honorably discharged. Little Prescott. Your mother's here. Oh gosh that's nasty. Back to back dick jokes. Yeah. You're welcome mummy. Yep. So after one month of the Japanese surrender he's out. He goes to Yale. Prescott was on the university board. So that probably helped. You think that helps if your father is on the board? Of Yale. Yeah. Yeah. George joined a fraternity. He was on the baseball team. He played in the first two college world

series. Okay. Uh and most importantly just like his dad he went on he was on the Yale cheerleading squad. Right. Sure. Uh and so was uh all three were on the yeah all three of them were cheerleaders. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Runs in the family. Yeah I don't mean to laugh at it. It was a really good laugh at it. It's fine to laugh at that. It's just we've definitely gotten away from that. Yeah it's it's uh stupid I think. I think that would be a nice way to change up cheerleading again. Like split it with guys. Get 50% men in there. You know. Every time I when I watch college basketball and every time I look at the cheerleaders I'm like what are you doing? What's why? Professional cheerleaders are play are paid shit. Oh garbage.

They're paid like $50 a game or something like that. Yeah it's fucking terrible. It's one of the things where they go it's exposure for you. Yeah. I'm in Ohio. What kind of exposure am I getting? Hey come on. You can't buy this kind of press for the two seconds before we go to commercial when we show the score. Uh so um uh he was initiated into the Skolen Bone Secret Society like his dad. Uh it has always been a rich uh full of rich powerful people of the Skolen Bone Society. Right. George did this all in two and a half years. That's how long it took him to graduate. Which I have nothing but disrespect for people back then who got through college because college you're not paying for it back then it's just

right and especially him he's not it doesn't you take your sweet ass time in college. Right. Now they gotta do it in two and a half years because it literally costs nine billion dollars but back then you could take you could go Rodney Dangerfield. I went to college for six and three quarters years. Yeah but you're an orthodontist. Because it was cheap as shit. Yeah. It was like it was like it started three hundred dollars a quarter by the time I got was nine hundred it cost nothing so just ride the fucking wave. Yeah. Yeah so no respect. It's weird by day to be a cheerleader and by night to be in like some janitorial closet like drinking lamb's blood in the Skolen Bone Society. I mean but that's the fun of it. Yeah that

is the fun. Um after George uh graduated he went to work for Dresser Industries a family connected firm that provided services to the oil industry. You can imagine that somehow he got connected with the oil. Weird. George Barber and their first born George W were sent to Odessa, Texas. Dresser was a company that provided cover for CIA operatives. Okay. Have you heard of them? Yes. So Dresser is oil and CIA? Um yeah so it's a lot of good stuff. They do everything that's great. Like you combined finally combined a government agency with a toxic fuel. That's right. That's cool. Um so Yale was a big funnel into the CIA. An XA officer named Osborne Day from the Yale class of forty three quote Yale has

always been the agency's biggest feeder. Forty three men from Yale's class of nineteen forty three entered the intelligence. It's gotta be hard to remain covert when you're like walking around like Teddy my man. Oh I mean nothing. I mean uh I mean uh Zartichelnik. Hello sir. I mean essentially they're just rich kids who can get jobs at places and then do stuff. Right. Because if you're another guy if you're just a random dude then you have to try to get that job whereas these guys automatically have jobs so of course they get recruited. Also if you sort of you sort of legacy based in a way too right. Like they're they know who your father is you're kind of vetted in a second. Yeah your dad's

a Nazi so why not have you. You're checking a lot of boxes for us Prescott. All the illegal funds that ties to Nazis. Good lord make us want it a little more would you. So yeah don't look at the pictures. Don't cheat. Don't cheat. I like pictures. I like pictures so they're easy. We're gonna do a picture podcast next. Yeah yeah. So uh dresser moves it's headquarters to Dallas and George was with them. The Bush family uh had a friend Alan Dulles who became deputy director in charge of clandestine operations in the CIA. So you know double secret right shit. Right. Dulles family had been uh in on the Nazi business with Prescott. So uh. Nazi businesses sounds like a cartoon strip. No it's great when that

doesn't matter. Right. It's great when Nazi on your resume. It just means like hey come on in. Well now I mean it's more it's a great time. Now it's helping. Yeah. So Prescott was now running for Senate in Connecticut and George was made the Midland County chairman of the Eisenhower campaign in 1952. So I hope he got a little uh. Button or sash. Sash. He wore a sash. I would love for that to be on a sash. He wore a sash and he was really great. Yeah. In the swimsuit competition. Yeah. For well skin how would he not be. Yeah I mean. Jeez where is it all coming from. Hello boys. It's me skin. And he did his own cheerleader. Yeah. Yes he did. Yeah for your talent. With your sash. I'm gonna cheer.

Uh he's so he's now the link between uh big Texas oil and the Republican administration. Right. So he's in a great position. That's pretty cool. Yep. So George struck struck out in the oil business on his own. Uh if you invest in George HW Bush you're getting the vast connections of Prescott Bush who's super inside with the Eisenhower administration. So money is rolling in now. Right. In 1953 George joined up with Hugh and Bill Ledke to form Zapata Petroleum. Okay. Uh Ledke had a quote hunch. Shut a hunch. She had a feeling about some stuff. And that led to 127 uh straight wells that came up with oil. So he had a match. He was riding a hot streak. Oh well I mean it's either a hot streak or something

that the CIA helped with because there's no fucking way in hell you John are 27. First of all language. I'm sorry. He's here. I apologize to you. God damn mouth. But I've heard. Second of all would you quit making uh would you quit just getting so angry at a hot streak? It's I bet you're the kind of guy who thinks Barry Bonds doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame because he used growth hormone until his head looked like he was some professor from the future who could move items with his thoughts. Let me say that I think he should be in the Hall of Fame twice for being a great baseball player and for having the biggest head. They should make two busts. One when he was regular. And one

after. Have you got a picture of his head? No no. It's a huge head. Mother would love to see Barry Bonds' head. We'll show you after. It's really something. It's quite fundamental. We'll show you the before and after. Yeah that's what you really gotta say. Did you have it fixed? No you can't get it fixed. You don't go to a drain or... It proceeds after you stop doing steroids doesn't it? Once your head gets that what happens you just get a bunch of extra head and skin? You don't know? What about Markiplier? You still have a giant head? He's huge. He looks like a gigantic one. I thought you went back down to small. It's not like some sort of wizard spell where at the end of your movie

you're like, I'm regular now. Once you've made yourself enormous. Alright well he should be in the Hall of Fame. Yeah twice. Twice. So you know Zapata stock goes crazy from seven cents a share to twenty three dollars. Super lucky. Quite a jump. You've played the markets. Oh yes. Yeah. Okay. Zapata moved into offshore drilling in 1958. Zapata's oil rig named Scorpion was moved 54 miles north of Cuba. Nice. Operation Mongoose was a CIA program to remove the communists from power in Cuba. So an oil well is a deadly insect and then you go with Mongoose for the operation? Interesting. Yeah. Interesting. It's like you're trying to cover something that's not there. One official quote, George Bush, one CIA official quote,

George Bush would be given a list of names of Cuban oil workers we would want placed in jobs. The oil platforms were perfect for training the Cubans on raids on their homeland. So the oil rig is simply a way to train Cubans and then send them to Cuba to attack and try to overthrow. So it's like a twofer? Yeah. You've got oil going and then when you're up there you're like, and let's try to overthrow the government. Yeah, why not? We got a thing going on here. Cubans. Yeah. Okay. Zapata operations were set up in the Persian Gulf. Trinidad, Borneo, Medin, George was constantly traveling. Zapata started helping the CIA pay off politicians in Latin America. Well, Dave, that's not legal. Well. Okay. I mean, no. Okay. It's not, but

the CIA gets to do whatever it wants. Right. They're yallies. Yep. Zapata money flowed through Mexico. XCI agent quote, Bush's company was used as a conduit for these funds under the guise of oil business contracts. And it's free CIA money because if money doesn't go into the US, it's not taxed. So he's just making money and then giving it to whoever the CIA wants it to go to through Mexico to all the Latin American contacts. Now, just remember, this guy will become president. Yeah. And he and he's, I don't know if you saw the coverage, but pretty great. Yeah. Yeah. You just gotta ignore all this stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Zapata did not have, right, to pay taxes, right? So President Kennedy, John F., I don't know if you know

what happened to him. I do. Yeah. Not a great ending. He was assassinated on November 22, 1963. What? Yeah. Oh, you didn't know this. My God. We'll do that episode later. Yeah. I was just trying to love the guy. Let me get your hand key. Oh my God. I know. I know. It said every person in America. How old was he? He was 47. Oh my God. No, 74. Oh, so young. Thank you, mother. It is said every person in America remembers exactly where they were when they heard that Kennedy had been killed, except for one person. Yeah. I was at school. We went to the stock room and cried. Really? I don't think we really knew who he was. Yeah. Yes. You remember. It's like 9-11. Do you remember where you were? Yes. Do you know who doesn't remember

where they were when Kennedy was killed? George's W. Bush. Kennedy. Oh. Kennedy. Yeah. He has no memory of it at all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. George. George Bush has no idea where he was. How does he know? He said he was, quote, somewhere in Texas. Well, that's where the assassination took place. The FBI knew where George was from an FBI report on the day of the shooting, quote. Picture. It's so exciting. Quote, somewhere in Texas is actually at 1.45 p.m. at Mr. George H. W. Bush, president of Zapata Offshore Drilling Company, telephonically furnished the following information to writer by Long Distance Telephone from Tyler, Texas. Bush stated he wanted to be kept confidential, but wanted to furnish hearsay that he recalled hearing in recent weeks

the day and source unknown. He stated that one James Parrott had been talking of killing the president when he comes to Houston. So that's where George was. He was making a call from Tyler, Texas to the FBI, but he doesn't remember where he was. It's shady. What? It's very shady. We also remember how much fun we had with the Parrott guy in the live one. You guys, it's just such a fun run. There it is. There's the FBI memorandum. It's a little strange. So, stop looking at the pictures. Stop it. Yeah, you're cheating. You're totally cheating. Yeah, you're cheating at the dollop, man. I'll just put this up. I'm sorry. Here you go. There you go. Yeah, interested in that? Yes. It's a picture. So there's tons of, there's a shitload of conspiracy theories and where

connections when it comes to Bush and Kennedy and where he was and who was working with them, blah, blah, blah. I'm not going to wade through it because I don't, number one, give a shit about the Kennedy assassination, but I also don't cover conspiracy theories. But we do know that he lied and he knew where he was. And we actually, we know what he was doing when Kennedy was shot. Shooting. The president of the local Kiwanis Club says George was giving a speech when he was told of the assassination. Quote, George stopped his speech and told the audience what happened. And then finished reading the story about a puppy dog. That's right. He said, I consider it inappropriate to continue and then he sat down. So it's up to other people to decide

why a guy in the CIA would make a phone call to establish where he was to the FBI, honestly. But when you're saying that, it feels like you've made the decision. No, I mean, I was the CIA involved. The CIA is fucking involved in everything that's wrong. So probably somehow, but I mean, allegedly, the thing that I've never looked into the assassination stuff. But the thing that makes most sense to me is that Oswald was a CIA operative because he spent years in the Soviet Union and he did it so that they were just covering for that. But that's what I think. Anyway, I haven't looked into it. Like I said, in 1964, George ran for Congress in one. So now he's super rich from Zapata and obviously his daddy. He voted for the

Civil Rights Act, even though most people in his district were against it. So that's actually a thing that's good. He supported the Vietnam War. He was reelected in 1968. Nixon saw George as a Nixon man, which means which is good. Well, Nixon really, it's a formulae against me. Like he's really right. No, it's good when you're like, you know, Satan's coming to my show tonight. He's scouting me. Nixon convinced George to run for the Senate, which he did in 1970 and lost. Okay. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Nixon then named George ambassador of the UN. Okay. So he's moving up. Right. Getting the credentials. And in 1973, George became head of the Republican National Committee. Nixon's pushing all that. Yeah. Then came Watergate. Now during Watergate,

there were these burglars that broke into the DNC. First time I've heard of it. And they were paid by people. Somehow... Imagine Nixon, like when he first heard about it, having to react like he didn't know. I can't, I just... One more time, the name of the place. Well, well, well, Water Bridge. I've never heard of this place. Somehow the... God damn, it's hot in here. Somehow the Mexican CA Moneyline, quote, made its way into the hands of the Watergate burglars. And interesting. So the CA... So the Watergate burglars were paid... Well, David just sounds like the CIA might have been involved.

Yeah. And then I don't know what company does business down there, but there's like maybe some sort of Mexican... How about Zapata Offshore Company? Oh, shit. That company. Yeah. So it turns out we know someone who has a CA Mexican connection and is close to whatever. Yeah. As Watergate broke and evidence mounted, George came to be seen as a Nixon apologist. So imagine it's clear that a president has done something very criminal and then there are a bunch of guys in his party who are like, that's not true, even though it's getting more and more obvious every day. Weird. It's just such a weird... Imagine.

But then at some point, like a recording came out or something came out and it was fucking over, it was too obvious. Right. And then George requested Nixon resign for the good of the party. So he's out, Ford becomes president, and then Ford picks George to be director of the CIA. Right. This is before he pardoned Nixon or this is after. I don't know before after. I think after. So the Democrats control the Senate with 60 seats, if you can imagine that. And a lot of them, that's the most fantastical thing of this whole story.

Yeah. A filler, Buster-proof senator of Democrats. A lot of them are still angry that George had been such a partisan hacker in Watergate. Plus the CIA is a shit show at this point. It had been revealed the CIA was spying domestically, which it's not supposed to do. Imagine. So could you imagine the CIA doing that? Well, now they just now our phones do it for them. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty simple.

A CIA investigation dug up CIA scandal after scandal after scandal. Right. So the CIA investigation is like, God, we're idiots. A Senate investigation. So the Senate is the Democratic Senate is investigating and they're just digging a thing after a fucking shit show. That's not going to happen. So if the Senate confirmed George, he would be the first partisan politician to run the CIA. So before this, it's all been military guys or business guys,

but it's never been a guy who was a Republican or a Democrat and then taking over the CIA. Okay. So this would be a whole new thing. That's cool. That's a fun new wave to ride. Yeah. So the Democrats came out hard against him and it didn't look good for George during the hearings. Your mom's very excited every time. No, she doesn't understand that this is audio mainly. Oh, it's so cool. She actually watched, oh, look at that. She watched one of the recordings when

she was on this show on YouTube and what it was one of the comments. Someone said, what? Oh, no, I think I Googled you one day because I was trying to see if my computer was working. And so I can't remember. I think she's the one lady said something about me. And then some, and then she said, she sounds like a lovely old British lady. On the YouTube comments, it said, sounds like a lovely old British lady. And somebody had replied and said, Gareth Reynolds' mother is not old. That's right. Sticking up for her. Yeah, well, good for that one.

Yeah, she's learned about YouTube comments. Never read YouTube comments. I know how Trump feels now. Yeah. Oh, well, because you have a soul. So I don't know if you know that. But yeah, a lot of differences, honestly. Okay. So he's about to not get confirmed. Yeah. So it's not going good. And then eight days after the hearing, a CIA station chief was assassinated in Greece.

Okay. He'd been living in the same house as the previous station chiefs and had been publicly ID'd in the papers. So everyone knew who he was and where he lived. And he works for the CIA. Yes, he's the station chief. Okay. So they now in Greece know who the CIA station chief is. And where he is.

And where he is. So a local militant group had been watching him for months and they kill him. Right. Well, they weren't doing a great job. They were like, where the hell is he? They were watching. I mean, they're watching. The CIA and White House are all over it. They blame the Democrats. The plane carrying his body back, quote,

circled Anders Air Force Base for three quarters of an hour in order to land live during the today show. Which is what you want when you're like, if you're the family of someone like that, you're like, it's good for him to get up. Like it's this is about the right stuff. This is how you're supposed to do it. I feel like you don't know what the right stuff is.

Keep him going around for a few hours until the cameras are ready. Photo. Perfect photo. Yeah. Yeah. So the guys, I know you landed. Can we do one more where he just looks a little more into it? I mean, I know he's a corpse. Here's what I'm thinking. Plane comes down.

His hand is hanging out the window. That's now this is what I'm talking about. Somebody who thinks a little outside of the box. And I'm not just talking about the gasket gang. Sorry, I said box. I'm sorry. I know that's your son. Anyway, all right. That's lunch.

And then after we get back from lunch, we're going to try to get this one, guys. Let's really get this one. The outgoing CIA director blamed the station chief's death on quote the sensational and hysterical way the CIA investigations have been handled and trumpeted around the world. So just blaming Democrats for the guy's death, even though it's clearly the CIA.

So in a way, it is like the invention of partisanship to it on this level, right? I mean, there's always partisanship, but this is a different. Yeah, this is a gear shift. This is, yeah, for sure. But that's what happens when you try and put a partisan guy on the. Sure. So there's zero evidence that any of this was true.

Right. The Democrats had nothing to do with it. But the public no longer supports the CIA investigation. That's the result. Right. Strom Thurman argued it was time. He was great. If you don't, it's a great guy.

One of our best racists. Yes, I do. Yeah. One of my most prominent racists. Strom the bomb Thurman. Had a had a child with his black mate. So he's cool. Oh, that was nice.

Was he? Yeah, he's a really good one. Strom the bomb. Strom Thurman argued it was time to confirm George because the public no longer cared for the Senate quote tearing down the CIA. Also, it's time for more blood. I can't see.

New blood. I'm so old. Put more blood in me. And they needed quote this highly competent man to repair the damage of this overexposure. This highly competent man. After Strom's speech that day, George is confirmed by a vote of 20 of 64 to 27.

It's weird that the Democrats are back down. But because they don't do that. Yeah, they used to do that back then. So this is when the Democrats didn't have a spine. Like now where it's like they are like. Hardcore leaders who get it. That's why they say stone Schumer because it's like he's made.

Yeah, right, right, right. Do not be penetrated. Yeah. What the Senate had not learned was that. Chuck Schumer is boneless, right? Yes. Okay, we're going to make sure he's without bones. Is he skinny or skinny?

Yeah, he's the skin's opposite. It's a bit like the bushes. Yeah. What the Senate had not learned was that the CIA was in the middle of something called Operation Condor. In 1975, six South American dictatorships in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. So these six countries, South American countries,

conspired to eliminate their left wing opponents and dissidents, their intelligence services traded information in order to kidnap and kill domestic leftists in their own countries and then traded information about exiles who had run away in other countries or. Do you ever feel like history repeats itself? I don't know why you would say that.

Okay. Oh, okay. So here's a picture of, that's just Chile. That's a museum in Chile of all the people who disappeared or were killed by this Operation Condor. Oh, holy shit. They traded information to find where exiles were hiding. People were put in concentration camps.

There were death squads, people were tortured, interrogated, executed, and secretly buried. These were union leaders, peasants, leaders, priests, nuns, students, teachers, intellectuals, and suspected guerrillas. And the CIA played a huge part. Well. Because they're awesome.

And Bush is now in charge of the CIA. Yes. And Bush's dad is a Nazi Amiga. Yeah. It's weird. It is weird. Okay. The CIA trained and funded the intelligence directors of

these countries. They gave access to sophisticated U.S. communication networks. The operation was running under George when he was director of the CIA. A Chilean dissident named Orlando Letelier was living in D.C. He had escaped from Chile.

He had been in a concentration camp and he was very vocal against dictator Augusto Pinochet. On September 21, 1976, he was killed by a car bomb as was an American woman in the car with him. This is the car. Oh, wow. The mastermind was the Chilean intelligence chief and a paid asset of the CIA.

It feels like the CIA had something to do with some of this. A little bit. Yeah. It turns out the CIA knew that he was responsible. But George had the CIA leak a document clearing the Chilean intelligence service. Was it just like the same letter that was when he was

in Texas? Just like, this is the same thing as before. Yeah, I think you'll find that nobody did anything. So he purposefully put out a let even though this guy had killed an American citizen and a dissident in Washington, D.C., George Bush put out a letter to lead the FBI in the wrong direction. So he purposely says that this guy did not do it and pushes

them in the wrong direction. Right. Newsweek, the CIA quote, the CIA agency reached this decision because the bomb was too crude to be the work of experts and because the murder coming while Chile's rulers were wooing US support could only damage the Santiago regime. So it was such a shitty bomb that there's no fucking way

that Chilean government could do it. Right. Because it was so bad. It's so bad. Like they could nobody could make something this bad. I mean, it's a shit. And this is genuine dumbass. This is a shit bomb.

Look, it worked great. It worked super good. Sure. If the point of a bomb is to just make it go off, then yeah. And kill the guy that you're trying to. But yes. But if you're going to talk about having a little fun after the fact, after the candies out of the pinata, well.

Not. This is below expectation. Right. Not our guys. This is not good. All right. Our guys. So if I can give you like a sound difference, like if our

guys did a bomb, it would have been like. But this one was like. So not our guys. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Or there or the other. When I say are, I mean, not our guys, the other guy.

We're saying are is in the letter are our guys. That's what they call themselves. They got a commercial. So George, as head of the CIA, protected assets who killed an American citizen and a dissident on United States soil. Also murder. Really just shattering a lot of firsts, which is cool. Also a murderous dictator could continue to kill off people

who were leftists. George served one year as C.A. director. President Carter booted him in 1980. He ran for vice. He ran for president. Sorry. But George couldn't beat Reagan. Right.

He was too good. Reagan was too smart. Empty headed. He was, however, picked to be Reagan's vice president. So there is no evidence of what happened with Reagan and the Iranian hostage crisis. Now. But there are accusations.

George and Reagan's campaign manager met secretly with Iran to keep the hostages from being freed until Reagan was president. Right. What we do know is that an hour after Reagan became president, a plane took off from Tehran with all the hostages on it. So that was just a coincidence. Carter might have been one delayed flight away from,

I mean, I don't want to blame it on the baggage handlers. But who knows what causes delays. I mean, Carter closed the door and then he's like, hello, you'll get out of here in July, 1979. The Sandinistas took over in Nicaragua after fighting for a decade against the Samoza dictatorship. So leftists are in power in Nicaragua. Finally, Reagan and George.

No, like, no, like, no, like, why, why, no, like, leftists. But come on. Yeah. In 19, it's sort of the opposite of Nazis. Yeah, it's true in a way. In 1981, CIA director William Casey laid out a plan to launch a secret war against the Sandinistas. George backed it, Reagan approved, and the Contras were born.

You guys love the Contras, right? Sure. Most of what I know about Reagan is from killer Mike's song, Reagan. That's good enough. Yeah. 15,000 strong in August 1982, Congress passed the Boland Amendment forbidding the U.S. from financing the overthrow of the Sandinistas.

Okay. So it was officially illegal. Yeah, they're like, do not do this. We do not want this happening. Okay. Shut it down because it'll make things worse. Okay. So you're saying we do not do it.

Don't do it. Don't do it. We don't want it. We don't want it. No. Don't do anything to pay for it or trade with them or anything to. None of it. Yeah.

And what if we, you know, what if we were to accidentally. Don't. What if, okay, can I just start a hypothetical situation? Yeah. Okay. We're all hanging out. Okay. Okay.

We're at a picnic, but we have separate picnic areas. Yeah. Right now it's really bad. Okay. Okay. So there's a bunch of picnic. There's two different picnics and there's a picnic and there's separate picnic areas. And in between the two picnic areas is a bunch of money.

Now, can we help the Sandinistas lift up the money? No. And put it in their things? No, no help. Wow. No, no. No helping the Sandinistas. Can we give them money?

No. Okay. That's the whole thing. We just said you can't give them money. Okay. Yeah. I just, that's the picnic thing threw me off your idea when you said the picnic thing. There, I didn't say the picnic thing.

Whoever said it, it doesn't matter. The point is it's a pretty good point. You said it and it's not a good point. Okay. There's no money, no helping. Okay. One more. May I throw one more?

Go ahead. Uh, everybody's skinny dipping. This is a separate thing. Everybody's skinny dipping. I accidentally switch my pants that has a lot of money and weapons in it. No. With one of the Sandinistas pants. No.

And he doesn't realize until he's miles away. And I don't realize until I'm miles away. Then I think it's better if he keeps those pants even if it has money and arms in it. And arms. Wow. How big are these pants? I know pants are normally for legs, but these are arm pants. How much money?

I mean, what is enough to get them to go away? I guess. To go, to go away? Well, I mean, you know, what is a bill? I don't know as much as they need to do what we say, I guess, is how much is in the pants. No, none of that's. Okay. Well, I'm glad we did this because now I know what is okay and what is not okay.

Yeah, I'm worried is what I'm concerned. I'm going to call them and get their routing number. What? Give them a piece of my mind. No, that's not how you do it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

So within days of the Bullen Amendment passing, the head of the CIA, Casey, had a new operation running. Now, George H.W. Bush was in charge. Interesting. He was not a normal vice president. He was, quote, in the loop on top secret stuff. Well, they wanted the president or the vice president to be aware of what was happening. Okay, what did he say, George? Oh, okay.

So he is in the loop on top secret stuff and approving weapons for the Contras. His operation became known as Black Eagle. The names are getting cooler. So George brought in CIA operative or ex operative. His name is Donald Gregg. So what happens is Donald Gregg comes in and Donald Gregg is a CIA guy. And then after he comes in, he leaves the CIA. So he immediately gets a job in the White House and then he immediately leaves the CIA,

which a lot of people call that a cover-up. It's clearly he's still doing a CIA operation. You see? You can't do both. So Gregg became George's national security advisor. Now, previous vice presidents, national security advisor, would just prep overseas trips. Like, if you're going to Paraguay, they go down and go, hey, the president's going to come. Here's the hotel he's staying in.

This is the hotel. He wants to be at this cabana. He likes these tiles. He likes a good Mai Tai. But Gregg is all involved with the Contras and what the Contras are doing. Okay. And as a vice president, no one has done what George has done before. In a good way.

No, they are not in a loop on top secret shit. Right. So also Panamanian dictator, General Manuel Noriega also became involved with this operation Black Eagle. He got involved because the Mossad introduced him to Gregg and the gang. Wait. The Mossad is the Israeli Mossad. Okay. They are involved.

Okay. Could they not be? And this is, we just call this guy Gregg. I just love that Panama's just got so many people just doing horse shit that the Mossad's like, oh, you want to meet the general? There he is. We're drinking. We're going Vegas. Gregg then allowed Black Eagle planes to land in Panama and use Panamanian companies to hide payroll.

So they're flying in with the guns and the money and stopping in Panama. It's a great setup. Yeah, it seems great. I mean, if you get away with it, this is a real winner. That's nice. Now Noriega had always been buddies with the CIA. Sure. It's how he stayed off the US radar.

So he's never in trouble because he's always given up information. That seems to be how you become friends with the US. Yeah. In 1976, when he was intelligence director in Panama, he was a CIA informant. It's terrible for Panama. He even had a meeting. They always seemed like that one step ahead. He even had a meeting at the Panamanian Embassy in DC with George H.W. Bush, who was a CIA counterpart at that time.

So they've known each other since 1976. Very familial. Yeah. George and Manuel met again in December, 1983. Good to see you again, Manuel. Hi, Manuel. Hi, Manuel. George just happened to be in South America on a VP business.

George reassured Noriega he would always be an important United States ally. And as soon as Noriega was involved in Black Eagle, he began using the planes to run drugs into the United States. So, wait. So, and again, I've heard this, but this, so Noriega, so these planes are US planes. Well, they're secret. They're secret. Right. But they are their CIA planes.

They're under US control. Right. Okay. So they're using them to run arms. Weapons to them. And the money, get money and then to buy weapons with the money and then run the money. And that's not good enough for Noriega. He's like, we also got a moonlight as drug planes.

Yeah. So he's got the drug. Now, as soon as the planes are landing, he's filling them up with drugs and saying, take these into the US. Okay. So the guys who are, who are pilots for the CIA are now flying drugs into the US. Right. Which steps it up a little bit.

Yeah. It's definitely to take it up a notch kind of thing. Instead of stopping it, the US made a deal. One percent of the drug income from Noriega's planes was set aside to buy weapons for the Contras. You know, it would have been nice if you finished that with like, you know, toys for tots. But instead, it's like, one percent has to go. These are going to go to death squads.

To death squads. Okay. It became over time several million dollars. That one percent, which just goes to how much Noriega's making of his fucking drugs. Right. Black Eagles say George Bush was very aware of Noriega's drug flights. It's cool. It's totally cool.

That's, I have a picture of him smiling. Yeah. Well, how could he not be smiling? He's like, I left all the way to the bank morning and night. So he's super cocky Noriega and the reason he's cocky is because he liked to blackmail people and had hidden video and audio equipment in government offices all over Panama. Okay. George would compile a dossier on Bush and Black Eagle and his staff and everything.

He had copies of Black Eagle reports and videotapes of meetings. That's a lot. Yeah. He's got a lot of shit. Yeah. So Reagan and George ran for second term. George was snippy on the campaign trail. I don't want to talk about it.

Peace. I'm not happy, but I don't want to talk about it, Ron. When he was asked. Well, to be honest, when we were getting on the bus, you jumped ahead of me. And I was waiting for you to go on and then you took so long. And then by the time I was ready to get on the bus, you decided to get on the bus. And it looked like I was standing. Now, hold on.

Okay. I look like I was standing out there just holding the door open for you to get on the bus. This is this. The. And by the way, it's our anniversary. This is the worst snippy ever. Like it's the slowest, most meandering snippy. Well, you know, I'm in a mood.

Okay. And I apologize. When George was asked by reporters why his stance on abortion had changed. Because Ron wouldn't let me on the goddamn bus. He said he couldn't remember his previous stance on abortion. What? How do you forget your stance on abortion? You forget it.

Where'd I land on that? Where I am now. I've always been. Well, did I? Against abortion, I think. No, what? No, you used to not be against abortion. Well, I don't remember that.

I'm pro life choice. I don't remember. I'm anti. Oh boy. When reporters asked him how he couldn't remember, he said, quote, there are an awful lot of things that don't remember. Awful lot. Like he's just some like grandma who's like, well, I can't remember where my knitting needles

are or where my prisoners are. There are so many things I don't know what's happening. There's a lot going on right now. I've got a bunch of recipes in my head and I can't remember which one I was going to make. Their opponent was Walter Mondale. He picked Congresswoman Geraldine Ferrero to be his VP. George had to debate her. He seemed to resent debating a woman.

Right. She was hyper aggressive and at one point called out Ferrero for exaggerating about terrorism and saying Democrats didn't care that the Marines had been blown up in Beirut. Yeah. Well, those talking points are still like they are still so. It's still fly. It's still fly. That's exactly what happens now.

What's the fucking? No, but it is so prevalent where it's just like, like who, how do you win that? How do you? You can't. How did that ever stick to someone where it was like, well, yeah, but she hates the army. I heard what he said. So Mondale asked for an apology and George refused to give an apology. And the next day George was overheard saying, quote, I tried to kick a little ass.

And then he noticed a reporter saw him and heard him and said, quote, whoops, my God, he heard me turn that thing off. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's like what someone says, spoiler alert after they've ruined the movie for you. It's like, no, no, that's not the order that this guy gets his head blown up at the end.

Yeah. Spoiler alert. We're the ones who killed Kennedy. Yep. Poopsie poopsie. Shut her down. Shut her down, please. No more recording.

I hate his brain. Oh, come on, mister. His staff then showed up on the press plane wearing buttons that said we kicked a little ass. You know, it's pretty easy to hate the candidate. But a lot of times it's really fun to hate the staff. Yeah. Yeah.

You're just like, look at you dumb shit. Yeah. Some reporters started calling him kick ass George. Skin. Yeah. Others wore hats made of jockstraps. Those aren't hats. I feel like that's a different situation.

Those aren't hats. I feel like they were doing something else. That's underwear. Those are not hats. Come on down. Cool hat, man. That's a jockstrap. Awesome.

Yeah. We're pretty great. Yeah, I got my mitts hat on my dong and my dong hat on my head. What? I'm playing flippy flop with hats. Okay. It's not a good look. It's a jockstrap.

It's cocaine on the spot. It's on your what? There's a lot of cocaine on the spot. Okay. Let's go. Mondale, though, said George, quote, doesn't have the manhood to apologize. Whoa. Dunesbury ran a cartoon about George's lack of manhood, though this time as VP, George

was called Reagan's lackey. The president's brown nosing yes man. So he's getting it from all sides. You get a brown nose on your wear a jockstrap for a hat. I do. Throughout, and it got worse, all the stuff sticking to him, the manhood stuff, the column of lackey and a brown noser, he had asshole-ish behavior during the campaign. The Washington Post wrote, quote, he seems to reveal himself as blustering opportunistic,

craven and hopelessly ineffective all at once. I'll have this idea that George Bush was like a well-spoken and decent president, and my memory of him is that he was a bumbling fucking idiot. But here's the problem. He had a son who was even more bumbling. That's right. It's weird how his son would be a fucking dumber, but he was. So now when you see them together, you're like, oh boy, HW was really smart while Bush,

while W was just like, hey. Reagan was a fucking idiot. Well. Bush was a fucking idiot. That. The next Bush was a fucking idiot, and now we have a colossal borderline hamster in the fucking White House. Who are you talking about?

Thank you. What do you mean? Thank you very much. In October. Get the meatloaf. Huge. In October, 1984, Congress passed a second bolden amendment to stop payment to the Congress. Now anything, you can give anything but humanitarian aid.

Now they're just like, seriously, don't. Okay. Hypothetical. Hypothetical situation, if we may, since we have to go through this all again. Yeah. Okay. One of the contras has terrible breath. Yeah.

And I run into them, and they say to me, can I have a breath mint? Can I give him a breath mint? No. I can't give a contra a breath mint. No. Okay. Well, what if inside the breath mint is a hundred billion dollars? No.

I can't give him a breath mint. We just said you can't give him a breath mint. We both find a treasure map, and the treasure is buried by me, and I give them the map at X marks the spot. No. Okay. That. That.

It's a gray area. No, it's not. Black Eagle operatives are becoming leery of Noriega and the drug runs. Weird. Agent Lou Archer, studio 54 airlines wasn't working out. Agent Lou Archer, quote, he would get somebody to take a load to the US and presto. He's got you for life. This is his modus operandi, compromise somebody, and then blackmail him.

Now, at this point, the Mossad gets out of the operation because they're so freaked about everything Noriega's doing, and people are becoming aware of what's happening, and the Mossad and the CIA end up pulling guns on each other or the black Eagle guys in an operation house in Panama. They end up not shooting each other, but they get so far and so heated that they actually pull guns on each other. They're reservoir dogs, each other in a shed. Without the ear coming off.

Right. That's the whole thing. You've seen reservoir dogs, mom? Spoiler. No. Spoiler. A guy's ear comes. Oh, no.

They cut a guy's ear off. Oliver North's operation enterprise, also to fund the Contras, was getting going as George's black eagle was wrapping up. Just like Oliver North used this, yeah, okay. Yeah. So George is then in the loop, and he's kept up to speed on every fundraising activity of Oliver North. So he knows all the money and everything that's happening with Oliver North, which is, as

we know. A lot of illegality. That's weapons coming from the Middle East. I think at first they're coming from Lebanon, and then eventually Iran, and it turns out we're not friends with Iran at the time. It's also weird that people think that the U.S. started bringing Coke into this country and afflicted the nation with the drug. To bridge the gap between operations, another operation was started.

That's operations on operation. Called supermarket, which ran out of Miami. Took a dive. The Dade County Republican Party chairman was raising money for it. Quote, the word on the street was that Jeb was the man to see if he wanted to help the Contras. U.S. Evening News?

Jeb's got all the brains that skin did. Maybe it's Evening News, the Miami Herald, and other legitimate media outlets reported Jeb's involvement when the story broke, and then it just disappeared, and no one ever discussed the story again. So media's been working for a while? Yeah, it's all been happening for a long time. Now a plane was shot down in Noriega. Two of the guys in the plane died.

And Nicaragua? One did not, and there he is. Yeah, he looks like he's like, boy, I'm glad I'm alive. So word is now out about the operations immediately. U.S. There's a CAA guy, U.S. is funding the Contras. Bush says he knows nothing. Quartergate.

Yeah. What? Watergate. Bush says he knows nothing, and even said, quote, I'm catching the dickens from friends for not preventing the Iran arms deal. Well, we have our victim. I'm catching the dickens. I'm catching the dickens from my friend.

You're not stopping me. My friend Ted over here keeps giving me the dickens. He's like, why are you giving stuff to Iran? And I'm like, I wish I could have stopped. I'm like, can we just focus on golf? Quit razzing me so hard. So Oliver North starts shredding documents. A handwritten note was, however, found in the later investigation from George that thanked

North for his, quote, dedication and tireless work with the hostage thing and with Central America. Parenthetical. Cocaine stuff. A special prosecutor was brought in to investigate the Iran Contra affair. Bush failed to hand over his diary, quote, containing contemporaneous notes relevant to the Iran Contra investigation. Boys can be so mean at school.

He also refused to be interviewed in the late stages of the investigation. Weird. Now the manhood thing kept cropping up, you know, George is not a man. So much so that Dunesbury was now portraying him as invisible. Oh, wow. Wow. So now this goes on for years where Dunesbury just has George as invisible. And some empty Roman helmet.

In 1987, Jeb Bush said in an interview, quote, he's been reduced to a cartoon. And this was in Newsweek in an article titled Bush Battles the Wimp Factor. So he's getting hit from all angles. So he's battling, well, he doesn't look like a wimp when he's just like the Gordon's fisherman on a bad day. So in order to prove that he's not a wimp, his son comes out and he's like, my dad is not a pussy. I mean, at one point, I can't remember what the circumstances were.

But George W, his son, yelled like they said, it was something like, how did you think he did in the debates? And he was like, macho. Like it was. I think my old man's got a huge dick. I think he's got it. And I've seen his penis since an enormous pecker, OK? So this this article, this magazine article about him being a wimp in Newsweek came out

the day he declared to be running for president. I mean, it couldn't look like a bigger wimp. Yeah, he looks terrible. Now, we're lost. George admitted he wanted to, quote, kick the hell out of the out of Dunesbury creator Gary Trudeau. I want to show him the dickens. George then went on the campaign trail.

George visited Auschwitz on September 29th, 1987. He said, how's my room? He said, quote, boy, they were big on crematoriums, weren't they? Wow. Oh, my God, oh, what is he is any part of him trying to like, is there some sort of deniability that goes on there when if you call him crematoriums, I can't I can't emphasize how much the Trump campaign, the George W. Bush campaign and the George H.W. Bush campaigns were all the same and that they said and did the dumbest fucking shit over and over and

over. And all the media did it was attack the Democrat. But it was repeatedly endless fucking nonsense coming out of their idiot holes. And they were never hold to account. It would just be like laughed off instead of being like, hey, this guy might be a fucking moron. And it just goes to show you that the truth that like the reality is that you're always going to have corrupted dickheads who are trying to take it all away from you.

There's a referee who is supposed to report on what reality is and tell you what's important. And it seems no, they and then they just haven't done it at all. They've become like you like, I mean, it's like the dog who gets fed from the dinner table at this point. It's like, well, don't even put food in the dish anymore. These idiots just expect it when you eat. Yeah. So he's running against Michael Dukakis in Massachusetts.

Some said, some said George should pick a female U.N. ambassador, Barbara Jean Kirkpatrick, a woman as his VP to add some quote machismo to the ticket. So for him, I mean, that's just gotta be quick. He's suggesting that if I add a woman, I will be that's right. More masking. That's what we're saying. Yeah. Yeah.

Look at skin raises arms. Look at all the skin. And he go get the empty barbells. George started making it a point to eat pork rinds on the campaign trail because he thought it made him seem more manly. He's eating pork rinds because he thinks it makes him manly. That's such a Connecticut kind of bunkport main way of thinking about the show. I don't know how you big city folk do it, but down here we just eat a bunch of pork

rinds. No, no, no, no lamb for me. I'll have pork rinds. So Porter Mastin, if his public perception was it, was it odds with reality? And George said, quote, much different. For example, I like pork rinds. That doesn't fit the mold. Yeah.

You see, I'm totally out of the box. I like pork rinds. A tough son of a bitch. I'm not a wimp. On the trail, he scoffed at environmentalists against, may have yourself some pork rinds who were against the Alaska oil pipeline because it would harm the caribou population, quote, caribou like the pipeline. They lean up against it, have a lot of babies and scratch on it.

There's more damn caribou than you can shake a stick at. That's like eight different arguments that are all incorrect in one. Yeah. But it's exactly what Trump would say, for sure. It's exactly what Trump would say. They got the caribou, they're having sex with the pipeline from the caribou that are coming out of the baby caribou, some of the best caribou we've ever seen. We've never seen a caribou like this.

Actually one of them came out, looked at me, first words out of his mouth, dada, thank you. Okay, thank you. In April in Pennsylvania, he said, quote, what's wrong with being a boring kind of guy? It would be a bad idea to kind of suddenly get my hair colored and dance up and down in a miniskirt. I mean, I'm kind of thinking, I'm a scintillating kind of fellow. And worst case scenario, if you look at my hair and think it's been dyed, that's probably

just me rubbing the pork rinds in the old hair. I always call that hair the head-snapkin. Who's in a miniskirt, not me, sometimes. I tell you one thing and I'm 100% on this, I'm not a huge pussy, period. I'm scintillating. All right. Now, as soon as Barbara comes out of the bathroom, I'll give her a bag back. You visit a New Jersey rehab clinic and ask the patient, quote, what did you start out

on? Just for the heck of it. What is he talking about? Another quote. Did you come here and say the heck of it? I don't need this darn thing. Did you go through a withdrawal thing? So, oh man, if he could just eliminate thing and question marks, he might pass.

During the campaign, July 30th. So what did you do? You put out the junk in the old vein thing, put the old black tar in the old vein thing and the old arm thing with the old belt thing. And then you're like, I'm done with this thing. You chase the dragon's tail thing for a little while, then you're in another underworld thing and all of a sudden your heart stops beating kind of thing and the next thing you know, you face, face with Satan thing kind of thing, you know, that kind of thing.

Then you realize your dad's a devil and you're trying to get away from him. But you accidentally, you know, it's one of those things where you sort of, you know, thing where all of a sudden you realize your dad's a devil and the only way you can get out of the thing is cook your brain out and sort of thing. Who wants a vodka? I'm buying kind of thing. What? Huh?

Is that sort of thing? Who wants a pork rind? No. Who wants a pork rind? Huh? I don't want. Well, a lot of bunch. I think all these guys in here are a bunch of pussies.

They don't like pork rinds like me. Can he go away? This is not good for my sobriety. I can't eat any more pork rinds. I'm dying. I think it sounds like the Duke of Edinburgh wrote his script. The Duke of Edinburgh? I was told.

He was known for putting his foot in it. Oh, he was? Just totally. And still is. Wait, that's, I'm not going to make a guess, who's the Duke of Edinburgh? He's the Queen's husband. Oh, who? The Queen of England's husband.

Oh, who? What's his name again? Philip. Philip, that's right. Oh, yeah. He's very himself. He also puts his stuff in it on an island with Epstein. Allegedly.

Allegedly. Well, Epstein. On July 3rd, 1988, an Iranian airliner with 290 people on board was shot down by the USS Vinsanes. U.S. officials reported the airliner was off route, descending rapidly and heading for the Vinsanes. An A-report will come out on August 3rd, refuting those claims and blaming human error. Okay.

U.S. officials concluded it was, quote, a tragic and regrettable accident. So we shot down an airliner with 290 civilians on board, tried to say the airliner was attacking us. That turned out not to be true. George was out on the campaign trail and said, quote, the Iranians shouldn't be sending an airliner over a combat zone. By combat zone, he means Iran. Right.

Yeah. The thing about that sort of stuff, too, is that those are, like, I think there's definitely something, there's, once someone commits some sort of act of that nature, it's terrible, it's like a blueprint, but once the U.S. does it, it sort of sends a message that it's actually like way more okay than a lot of other countries. Oh, 100%. And we're doing that more and more and more, where we're sort of like, yeah, now we get to do it, too.

And it's just, the message it sends is just... It turns out it all started with this guy here. Oh, Randy. So he said to a group of Republicans on August 15th, quote, I will never apologize for the United States. I don't care what the facts are, I'm not an apologize for America kind of guy. You're in an abusive relationship, then. You are married to an alcoholic who can do no wrong, then.

So I put this quote up on Twitter the day he died, because fuck him. And a bunch of people were like, he didn't say that on the day it was shot down. Right, dumb fucks. He said it during the month-long discussion and two weeks after the report came out saying we did it. So your point that he didn't do it on the day it was fucking stupid, he did it days after when the fucking country was discussing it. So you're wrong.

You can't say it on Twitter, mom. Oh, no. But there's just this whole right-wing talking point that he didn't say that in relation to the shooting down on the plane, because it didn't happen right after the plane was shot down. No, you're right. It came out, he said it after the report came out, but you're wrong because you can't say something about something two weeks after it.

It don't exist no longer, then. Yeah. In his nomination speech, George tried to show how manly he was, quote, watch me lift this microphone above my mouth, and my little arms. Weakness tempts aggressors, strengths stop them. I will not allow this country to be made weak again, never. George also said, quote, Congress overreacted and seriously weakened the CIA. In speeches, on Iran-Contra, he said, quote, there is this insidious suggestion that I

was conducting an operation. It's untrue, unfair, and totally wrong. Well, we know that means it's true. But the special prosecutor was still investigating, and George ran, so he's being investigated for committing a massive crime, trading with the enemy, like his fucking dad did, running drugs into the country, funding death fucking squads, and he's running for president. Yeah, okay. But he eats pork rinds.

And then he ran one of the most racist election campaign ads of all time. Willie Horton was serving life sentence for murder in Massachusetts, of course. Do you remember this, Admin? I remember all this talk, yes. Of course, as we know, Dukakis is from Massachusetts, so they decided to link this up with Massachusetts. So Willie Horton is serving life in prison. He's furloughed. They have weekend furloughs there.

You get to get a prison come back. This guy Willie Horton gets out, he rapes a woman. Bush campaign director Lee Atwater came up with an idea. Say Dukakis furloughed him and then show Horton's picture. Now, Dukakis does not furlough people. He's a fucking governor. He's not watching the gate. So it's this big black scary guy, right?

They take the most scariest picture they can find. The victim was white, so everyone calls the ad racist. George said that it was, quote, absolutely ridiculous. But even right-wing operatives like Roger Stone thought the ad crossed the line, and he told Atwater, quote, you and George Bush will wear that to your grave. It's a racist ad. You're going to regret it. What's so great is that since George H.W. Bush died, we know that Roger Stone was wrong.

Because once George H.W. Bush died, there was no talk of the Willie Horton ad. It was, God, what a dreamer he was, huh? Well, what a relationship he had. Oh, the legacy, the dynasty. Yeah, and that fuels guys like Stone to become worse people. Stone, who has an enormous tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back. Well, I do, but. No, you have a tattoo of Roger Stone's back with Nixon's tattoo on it, which is meta.

On his deathbed, Atwater apologized for using the Horton ad against Dukakis, and as you said, George Bush never did. Right. And he won the election. Yay. He was way down in the polls. Two things turned the, I mean, he was down by like 15 points in the polls. Two things turned around.

Number one, Horton, and number two, Dukakis got in a tank, and he looked, it looked really bad. Yeah. I was actually. Do you remember when he was in the tank? I was actually a young guy, and I was actually campaigning for Dukakis, going house to house and knocking on doors. And when that ad campaign came, when that picture came out, I was like, I'm done.

It's over. Like, you could feel it was over. It was immediately over. Hello? Hi. What's your name? Dukakis. Ah, big, girly New England guy in the tank who looked like a little mole man, way over

his head. That guy, the little guy, the little guy, the little, when he's in the tank and he looks like he's lost, he looks like, what's the blind guy's name? The cartoon blind guy. What's his name? The blind guy. Mr. Magoo. He looked like Mr. Magoo in a tank.

Okay. So anyway, I love his policies. Here's some literature. Keep your pamphlet. I don't need your pamphlet. That man is Mr. Magoo. The other guy committed crimes. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what. He didn't commit a tank crime, which is, that's what I call a war crime. It's just a picture. It is good to laugh. I'll tell you. I've been sitting here a little depressed all day, and then you came by and you started talking about your little tank, buddy.

Okay. Yeah. I gotta go. You're a little GI Mike. I made a cheek. Do you want to come in? My wife would get a kick out of this. She really liked him until he got that tank.

No, I don't want to come in. I don't want to do anything. He's such a little cutie pie, that little stinker. I want to die right now. Alrighty. Well, God, it's good to laugh. Anyway, what about the bush? He's not a wimp.

Well, let's pull it up, because it was, it's... There he is. I mean, come on. This really is the problem with like, I mean, look at this, this is so dumb. This really is the problem. So you, I mean, do you not understand a little bit why people reject the Democrats? It's like, yeah, Bush did this, yeah, Bush did this, but I mean, literally look at this picture.

Yeah, it's one of the worst. He's at fantasy camp for the day. It might be the worst photograph in presidential campaign history, if not the top two or three. I mean, it's like he's trying to make himself seem like a tough guy and he looks like a fucking idiot. Oh, he just looks so dumb. I mean, he honestly looks like a little kid who got dressed up for Halloween and is about to go trick-or-treating with his parents.

And what are you? I'm my presidential hopeful. Well, here's a Reese's peanut butter cup, my little baby. Anyway, that's how he lost the election. Look at him. So George is, so George is president and now crack arrives in the mid 80s and in the country and that's lucky destroying cities. Nothing to do with the CIA though.

No, by the time George's president is ravaging neighborhoods and for his first address from the Oval Office, George wanted to make a big splash. George said the quote, the first Oval Office addresses a big deal. So live on TV, he said the biggest domestic threat facing the US was drugs, particularly crack. And then he pulled out a bag of cocaine and it's legit. Huge bag, right? Yeah.

Huge. Oh, yeah. They call them fat rocks. That's a lot of crack. It is a lot of crack. I mean, you know, there were like some people, like some crackheads just watching this like, man, if we can get into the white, we can just get so much good crack right now. He's so lucky.

Yeah. Yeah. That's all they're thinking. Man, imagine being that lucky to be president and have that much crack to smoke. So he pulls it on live TV and he says, this is the biggest domestic threat quote, this is crack cocaine seized a few days ago by the drug enforcement agents in a park just across the street from the White House. They call it angels breath and I smoked a bunch early.

I am feeling great. I've been out for four days. I can do two push-ups with my wiry arms. So this is Lafayette Park that he's talking about. There is no drug problem in Lafayette Park. There have been zero drug insinuating that these drugs were right across the street from where he lives in the White House. It's just a lie.

No drugs. There have been no drug arrests there quote. The president wanted to show it could be bought anywhere days before the speech. The White House asked the DA for a bust in Lafayette Park, a DA agent and contacted a dealer and asked the dealer to come and the dealer responded quote, where the fuck is the White House? When he was told what it was, he said quote, oh, you mean where Reagan lives? So it's just a big PR stunt.

Sure. It's three ounces of crack, $2,400. The kid's name is Keith Jackson. He's 18 years old. $2,400 at this time to an 18-year-old. It's an insane amount. It's going to get anybody to come out and try and sell fucking drugs. So he just sets his kid up.

It's entrapment. It's entrapment. And Bush used the speech to push to more than double the amount spent on drug war enforcement, quote, more prisons, more jails, more courts, more prosecutors, an additional $1.5 billion, the largest increase in history. So it's a jobs program. Yeah. Keith Jackson is convicted not of the drug buying charges, but other stuff related to

it because that was entrapment. He got 10 years. The drug war would turn out to be the... You know at the end of this speech, like the crack went missing and they were just like, hey, W, you seen this anywhere? I haven't seen it, I don't know what you're talking about. The drug war would turn out to be, obviously, a horrific racist failure. George is the one who put it into overdrive.

He's the guy. In spring of 1989... He's the guy who started the drug war on crack. In the spring of 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. The Cold War is over. So now the U.S. is the most powerful country on Earth. And George did not like his wimp image. And then there was that Noriega situation.

There were 18 U.S. bases in Panama, and due to our long history with the Panama Canal, obviously, that's the thing, right? So we have a lot of bases there. But the canal was scheduled to be turned over to Panama partially in 1990 and then completely in 2000. So the U.S. is slowly going to lose control of Panama starting the next year. Well, knowing how we handle stuff... We do.

We just talk. We just start like, hey, goodbye. People always say the U.S. talks too much. Yeah. Yeah. So Noriega has stopped being helpful with the conscious stuff. Oh, and Noriega has all that blackmail material. Right.

Noriega, quote, I've got bush by the balls. So suddenly the U.S.... The tiny raisin balls. So suddenly in the U.S., everyone is talking about how bad of a guy... Noriega. Noriega. This is what we do. After years of not being a problem...

Goddamn. I mean, this is just the same shit different day. This is what started it. So he's been a CIA informant forever. He's been making $100,000 a year since 1976. He's on the government fucking payroll. But now he's upset, George, and he's also a problem with the Panama Canal. Right.

So the media goes in overdrive. Now he's the most frightening thing since Hitler. In a matter of months, it's pure hysteria. By the way, if he was as bad as Hitler, Bush would have hired him for the White House. On December 20, 1989, U.S. forces attacked Panama City. The purpose of the invasion was simply to capture Noriega on drug charges. Okay. U.S. officials were told the exact location of Noriega by a diplomat three hours after

the operation began. Okay. Quote. But when I called Southcom, that's the people in charge of the operation, Southcom said that it had other priorities. Yes, the total destruction of the very poor neighborhoods of El Chorrio and San Megalito. Why? Well, why?

Because two reasons, number one, they were, they backed Noriega, these two communities. There have been, at the time there were... So this is just more spelling the message out a little more clearly, essentially. At the time, people said there was weapons testing happening. Oh, Jesus. There was absolutely no body count. So the U.S. purposely made sure there was not a body count. Quote.

They began burning down El Chorrio at 6.30 a.m. They would throw a small device into a house and it would catch on fire. They burned from one street to the next. This is the neighborhood. Wow. Well, we burnt down a neighborhood for no reason. Now that's... It's a lot.

You can see that. That's where people lived. That is what we call a slum and it has just simply been burned down for no reason. Why do people not like us? I don't know. Blocks were burned. No one knows how many were killed. Bodies were piled in the streets and burned.

There were mass graves. The destruction of these neighborhoods had nothing to do with Noriega. They just supported him. After Noriega was captured, George said it was all worth it. Quote. The life is precious. And yet... Which is why we don't count them.

And yet, I have to answer, yes, it has been worth it. Well, I mean, that seriously is just genetics then. Right. I mean, that's just alive in every one of them. Well, he learned from his father. Yeah. And W was taught by his father. The UN Security Council passed a resolution condemning the invasion, but the US, UK and

France vetoed it. Every country saw what happened in Panama as an incredibly dangerous precedent. The General Assembly then voted 75 to 20 for a resolution that called it, quote, a flagrant violation of international law. Quote. People burning to death in the incinerated dwellings, leaping from buildings, running in panic through the streets, cut down in crossfire, crushed by tanks, human fragments everywhere.

After these clear war crimes and disregard for international law, Georgia's poll numbers in the US shot up to record highs not seen since Eisenhower, 76%. Georgia'd shown that American presidents would receive their highest support for illegally invading countries and slaughtering people. Right in a tank for a photo op, bad. Use tanks to destroy others, good. This isn't the press. This is us.

Right. Right. Georgia being fucking monsters because it's just insane that that should be allowed. That's your highest rating for just, so he caught Noriega, right? So now Noriega is in jail, but so many people died that didn't need to die. By the way, he's in jail for working with us. I don't think I have it, but there's a famous shot of him. Is he still alive?

Did he? Did he get up, Aaron? I think he died recently, but I might be wrong. Yeah, there's the famous shot of him getting up. Oh, right, crying king. Yeah, so then it was all worth it. So then he's on the front of Newsweek doing a mug shot. Public Enemy Number One.

And everyone's like, look at what? USA. And remember, it's Wimpy George. Wimpy George went and got this guy. Put a boot up your ass. But we killed humans. Right. And May of 2017.

2017, yeah. So he just died in May 2017. Last year. Rest in peace. You were a great guy. Why didn't our media inflate him? The New York Times, after the invasion, quote, for President Bush, a man still portrayed in Dunesbury comic strip as the invisible president, showing his steel had particular

significance. So, I mean, really, it's just how many people does a man have to kill to undo a cartoon? Pretty much. Right. So let the media continue to attack his manhood, at one point jumping all over him for asking for another, quote, splash of coffee. That's not even that cool. But at this point, they're just leaping on fucking anything.

Yeah. Right. It's like TMZ before TMZ. And we already know he's mad about it. He said he is. The Republican operative said he should tour the country so he saw how real people acted. George Will, a Republican, said his administration suffered from, quote, moral flaccidity. But that's just...

Yeah. I mean... I mean... I'm not even fully sure what it means, but you are just like, I know what you're saying. If you just put flaccid in there, you know what you're fucking doing. Hey, you limp dick motherfucker, how's it going? Yeah. Floppy attitude.

A year and a half after the Newsweek article, George was still mad about it, and he told reporters, quote, you're talking to the wimp, you're talking to the guy that had a cover of a national magazine that I'll never forgive, put that label on me. I mean, are you like a junior in high school? You're the president. In the summer of 1990, Iraq and Kuwait were feuding. One issue was their borders, another was that Iraq accused Kuwait of slant drilling and stealing their oil.

And the third issue was Kuwait was overproducing oil to drive down the price of oil. So in July, George's US ambassador was visited... By three ghosts. By a Saddam Hussein representative, quote, this is the ambassador, US ambassador, quote, we have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts like your border disagreement with Kuwait. What a simple time. Now, Saddam is threatening to invade, and then that was the George Bush administration's response, which is a green light to invade.

Yeah, right? Yes. Iraq invaded Kuwait a couple weeks later. George told the American public that Iraq had invaded Kuwait, quote, without provocation or warning. So if you're a Hussein, not to defend Saddam Hussein, but if you are him, you're like, wait, what? No, you can defend Saddam Hussein in this instance, because if the US had said, no,

we will fucking destroy you, he wouldn't have invaded. Okay, okay, everybody calm down. We gave him the green light. There was provocation and warning. This would be true, wait, so the Pentagon, using top secret satellite images, now set 250,000 Iraqi troops and 1,500 tanks were on the border of Saudi Arabia, and Iraq was threatening to invade Saudi Arabia. George said troops, then America's like, go protect our boys, we all love Saudi Arabia.

Come on, Gordon's Fisherman, the president, you pussy. George sent troops to protect Saudi Arabia, but reporter Gene Heller of the St. Petersburg Times got her hands on commercial satellite images of the Saudi border. There were no Iraqi troops, it was an empty desert. Heller quote, that Iraqi buildup was the whole justification for Bush sending troops in there, and it just didn't exist. So George Bush lied, which turns out to be a family pattern. George Bush lied about, and that's how he got troops in there.

He lied about why Iraq invaded. He lied about everything. Had it ever fully been lied about this much? No. Right? No, but no, he also lied about, I'll do the Panama one, that's a separate dollar, but everything that has happened since, 9-11, the wars, ISIS, Iraq is all because George Bush lied 100% about Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and Iraq, and this is the number one justification

for bin Laden attacking and doing 9-11 is because we had troops in Saudi Arabia. That's what he uses a recruiting tool for al-Qaeda. So the Gulf War went swimmingly as long as you're a U.S. troop. George dropped 800, sorry, 88,500 tons of bombs. Oh my God, tons of bombs. Yeah. In Iraq and Kuwait, there were tons of civilian casualties. One airstrike hit an air raid shelter in Baghdad and killed at least 408 civilians.

Human Rights Watch said the Pentagon knew it had been used as a civil defense shelter during the Iran-Iraq war, but we still bombed it and we bombed it on purpose. The Human Rights Watch concluded this was, quote, a serious violation of the laws of war. UN resolutions under which the war were organized did not go beyond the liberation of Kuwait, but as Iraqi troops fled Kuwait back to Iraq, pilots began to bomb them on the highway. Air raids pinned down the convoy, then the vehicles were attacked. It was simply a slaughter of soldiers withdrawing, and then the word started getting out about

this horrible situation on the highway. So they basically just got these people pinned in and they're just blasting them in their vehicles. Oh, wow. Oh my God. It's basically just a slaughter of people withdrawing, right? And word's getting out that they are withdrawing, and so the US Central Command starts getting freaked out that word is getting out that they're withdrawing and we're killing people

withdrawing because you're not supposed to do that. And then Sonam announced the troops were withdrawing, and that had started before the US started bombing, and the Pentagon decided to use, quote, forceful language to portray Iraq's claimed withdrawal as a fighting retreat due to US attack. So if the forces are retreating, if the bombing started and the forces are retreating, that's different than if they start pulling out before the attacks. Right. Okay.

So you're just saying they're running away, they're not giving up. It's a legal justification in war crimes, basically. The next day, George Bush made a hasty televised statement saying the war would continue despite Sonam's withdrawal announcement. We found a bunch of crack on him about this size. He said Iraq could not be trusted. The troops were retreating under pressure, not voluntarily withdrawing, and that Sonam was trying to get a political victory from a military route.

He said Sonam would not get a propaganda victory, which America fucking loves. Right. That's just... Right. So the bombing continues. It became known as the highway of death as hundreds of Iraqi soldiers were killed in their vehicles. Jesus.

Major Bob Nugent, Army Intelligence Officer, quote, even in Vietnam, I didn't see anything like this. It's pathetic. A pilot, quote, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. But everything the US military and the Bush said about it was a lie. Washington Post, quote, in fact, however, tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers in and around Kuwait city had begun to pull away more than 36 hours before Allied forces reached a capital. So we just literally just killed them.

And the rationale for doing that is just to be like, we're winning by this much. Oh, no. What is that? That's a burnt guy. No. Oh, that's horrid. Oh my God. That's what should be on the news.

Yeah. If you want to kill people in war, then put that shit on the news. Let's see the bodies. Holy shit. When the war ended, the highway of death became a tourist attraction. Kuwaitis with video cameras walked up and down the highway to record the devastation. Coalition soldiers toward the mayhem taking pictures of each other besides junk tanks, bomber personnel carriers, and vehicles and bodies.

During the war, U.S. bombs purposely destroyed civilian infrastructure like electrical plants, water treatment plants, food processing plants, Washington Post, quote, some targets, especially late in the war, were bombed primarily to create post war leverage over Iraq, not to influence the course of the conflict itself. So I mean, at that point, that really is when you're like, if you haven't lost the people already, you are like, this is a very clear distinction of. Now not only are we going to leverage your government, we're now going to leverage you completely.

Well, they're just trying. If you blow up water treatment facilities, sewer, and electrical, you're killing children. You're now purposely trying to kill elderly children and people who have the hardest time. A Harvard public health team concluded four months after the war that the destruction of the Iraqi infrastructure resulted in acute malnutrition and epidemic levels of cholera and typhoid, which is why it's human rights violation to target infrastructure like water treatment, which is why it's a human violation. By January 1992, a demographer with the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the war caused the

deaths of 158,000 Iraqis, 13,000 immediate civilian deaths, and then 70,000 for damage done to electricity and sewage treatment plants. Then the Bush administration threatened her with termination. It would be nice if the numbers weren't fudged. Everything else is bullshit. It would be nice if you just at least, because that's the same thing that happened in Iraq the last time, or happens in Afghanistan, where you're like, I think we killed about 3,000 people, and it's like, no, 300,000.

George also encouraged Iraqis to rise up against Saddam. In the north, where the Kurds were, there was a no-fly zone, but in the south, Iraqis took, this is a sign, they would be protected by the U.S. if they were belled, so they did, as George Bush had encouraged them, and then they were slaughtered, as the U.S. sat by and watched. In Iraq, George H.W. Bush is- It's a feel-good story, isn't it? It's lovely.

It's one of those fun, like- It's really a nice bedtime story. Do you remember when the press was acting how awesome he was after he died? Yeah. I do. I do. And it's funny, really, because I remember thinking, well, I don't think he was that good with me.

I do. And now I know you've confirmed it. In Iraq, George H. Bush is a scene- It was like the royal wedding, the human. In Iraq, George H.W. Bush is seen as a criminal. He imposed brutal sanctions in 1990, the harshest in UN history. Salaries in Iraq fell by up to 90%. Jesus.

Children and elderly suffered the most. And elderly, Iraqi, quote, we only remember him for death, pain, sadness, starvation, the destruction of infrastructure. Iraqis under siege ate dirt because of Bush. The sanctions remained in place until his son invaded Iraq. In the summer of 1991, July 1st, 1991, President Bush nominated Clarence Thomas to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court justice. Thompson had been a judge for only 16 months.

Near the end of Thomas' hearings, he was accused of sexually harassing Anita Hill, who had worked for him. She testified and was brutally attacked by the right, while some of the Democrats did silent. Two other women were prepared to testify and were waiting in the back room of the Senate, but Joe Biden did not call them. As the sexual harassment claims unfolded, George said, quote, I have total confidence in Thomas.

George shows the side with a man who multiple women described harassing them. He sent a message to America that women should not be believed. In April 1992, which ended, thankfully, three and a half years ago, we decided to listen to that. That's right. We wrapped that. Yeah. Yeah.

Like, yeah. I didn't hear anything. Yeah. Be honest. We will listen to you. Isn't it great how much different Trump is? Yeah. In April 1992, at a campaign fund.

I like beer. In April 1992. Did George H.W. Bush make Clarence Thomas take a vow of silence after that? Oh my God. George says it worked. Because he's a fucking idiot. Yeah. He's a fucking idiot.

He was a judge 16 months and then he was on the Supreme Court. In April 1992, at a campaign fundraiser in Michigan, a woman posed with George for a photo. She said he groped her ass, quote, it was like a gentle squeeze. Thomas was... What did she want? A hard squeeze. Pull. Thomas was confirmed with 11 Democrats voting for him.

You're the problem, Democrats. That's right. In January 1992, at a banquet in Japan, George leaned over and vomited in the lap of the Japanese prime minister. Yeah. It's our way of saying I'm not a wimp. By the way, also when he did that, he looked as wimpy as possible. Yeah.

He couldn't have looked... It looked like he put grandma in the blue angel. Yeah. During his presidency, George also solidified further Republican ties with the evangelicals. To do this, people had to die. Well, he did a lot of really good, meaningful stuff. He bowed to their anti-LGBTQ agenda as the AIDS epidemic blew up. When he took office, he said he would do more to battle AIDS, but that was just talk.

His administration dragged its feet on drug treatment and would not address prevention in the gay community, which could have been done by promoting and funding safe sex programs and condom distribution. Act Up eventually targeted him at his main summer retreat. See, now people are like, you don't yell at them in restaurants and stuff. Act Up went to his fucking house. Yeah. George responded by saying...

I also love that. They're like, come on. Don't ruin their meal. It's like... Fuck off. They're ruining everything. Yeah. I can't shout at them when they're getting their...

What the fuck are you talking about? I have every right. If I saw Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Oh, no. They shouldn't be allowed to go out in public. I couldn't yell at that. Yeah. And there's Democrats too.

Exactly. Democrats. I mean, Dave. Oh, God. Dave, we need to go to DC for a week. Yeah, we do. George responded by saying, quote, behavioral change is the best way to fight the disease. That's right.

Time machines and behavioral change. Now, remember how good of a guy he is, right? Yeah. During a televised interview, George has asked what he would do if he had a gay grandchild. Oh, God. He said he would love the child, but wouldn't tell the child he was normal. Right. Goodness.

Yeah. That's how you love something. Right? George's cabinet was full of anti-gay zealots. His health secretary teamed up with evangelical leaders to cover up a government study that found that LGBTQ teams were at higher risk of suicide. He publicly denounced same-sex marriage. In Christmas Eve, 1992, Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger was about to go on trial

for perjury and obstruction of justice for the Iran contra investigation. So it's six years. It's time. It's six years later. It's finally fucking about to happen. George Bush. It's about to go. Pardoned him.

What? Imagine if there was a president that was involved in a crime and it was a blatant crime and they were about to put on trial and take down his co-conspirators and he pardoned them. Imagine what would happen. People would beat up in arms, right? They would tear down the government and Walsh. I feel like you're making a connection. Walsh, the prosecutor, quote, the Weinberger pardon marked the first time a president ever

pardoned someone in whose trial he might have been called as a witness because the president was knowledgeable of the factual events underlying the case. Walsh was furious. He accused George of misconduct and helping to complete the Iran contra coverup. There were notes that Weinberger had taken which said Bush was involved in planning. He'd been in meetings about secret funding. By pardoning Weinberger, Bush prevented a trial in which evidence of his own involvement in the breaking of the law would have come out.

The New York Times, quote, in a single stroke, Mr. Bush swept away one conviction, three guilty pleas, and two pending cases, decapitating all that was left of Mr. Walsh's efforts, which began in 1986. He pardoned Elliott Abrams, former assistant secretary of state, Robert McFarland, a former national security advisor, and former CIA officials, Claire George, Alan Friars, and Dwayne Claridge. Whatever people are saying Trump is going to do to get out of his shit, nothing will fucking compare to what this motherfucker did, nothing, because this guy slaughtered people

in Nicaragua for fucking years, for years illegally, so much so that Congress passed two amendments to make him stop, and he still fucking did it, and he gets away with it. It shows you that people's expectation about Trump and what is about to happen with Trump, the perspective needs to shift, because if you think that there's going to be, that Captain America rides in and takes Trump away in handcuffs. Absolutely not. No, that's not what happens. What happens is there's a domino that's going to fall, and then Trump's going to get in the

way of it in some capacity, and it's going to be on the reaction of the people to demand what happens next. And they will do nothing. They'll go out on the protest, because that's all they want to do is protest, and protest ain't going to cut it. That's not going to cut it. No, no, it needs to be at the next level. In his final report on the Iran Contra affair in August 1993, Walsh said, quote, the criminal

investigation of Bush was regrettably incomplete. He angrily said the Iran Contra coverup, which has continued for more than six years, has now been completed. In November 2003, Rosalind Corrigan was a 16-year-old girl whose father was a CIA officer. She met George Bush at a meeting of CIA officers in Texas. They took a picture together, and as they posed, he reached down and groped her ass. Jesus. Quote, my initial reaction was absolute horror.

I was really confused. I was a child. In August 2016, an actress was doing a play near Kennebunkport, Maine. I think I have a picture of this. That's his summer home. That is his summer home. She's this actress who's doing a play near Kennebunkport, Maine. George was known to go to the theater, and he came backstage during intermission.

All the actors gathered for a photo with him. The actress said other actors warned her that George had a reputation for fondling women during photo ops. Jesus. Quote, I guess I was thinking he's in a wheelchair. What harm could he do? Well, he reached down to her ass as the photo was taken and said, quote, do you want to know who my favorite magician is?

David Coppapheal, and then he grabbed her. Barbara was there too, and she said, quote, he's going to get himself put into jail, and everyone laughed. In 2018. I like that the war criminal can be threatened with jail when it comes to ass grabbing. In 2018, another actress said Bush, quote, touch me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife, Barbara Bush, by his side. He told me a dirty joke, and then all by being photographed, he touched me again.

Jesus. That ass groping led many of other women to come out. Altogether it was eight women. Bush's spokesman did not deny it, but said Bush was innocent, quote, he has padded women's rears in what he intended to be good, natured manner. Yeah, well, guess what, dickhead? Yeah. The thing that happened to you didn't feel the same.

George W. Bush died, and that's fine. I was arrested protesting both the Panama invasion and the first Gulf War. I should put that out there that I'm not a fan. So every single thing that George H. W. Bush did set up what Trump is doing and what everyone's upset about. That's the reality of the situation. You can scream about everything Trump is doing, but we already had a precedent getaway with a crime by pardoning people, and the Congress did not change the rules.

So why would you fucking think anything differently? You're fucking acting like Trump is a new goddamn thing. No, this has happened before. It was fucking 30 years ago. It's just, I mean, fuck, man. It's the same shit. It's the same part. Just watching them fucking scream, but he's getting me a fucking constitutional crisis.

It already was a constitutional crisis. It already happened. Yeah, and the way you get through it is by ignoring it. No, the way you get through it is to make him a hero when he dies. Now he's a hero. He's a fucking criminal who should have died in prison for slaughtering Nicaraguans. He should have died in prison. And all of these asshole, I'm going to say Democrats, because of course Republicans,

all these fucking asshole Democrats acting like he's an awesome guy, he was a fucking evil motherfucker, an evil man from top to bottom, and he should have been in jail for war crimes and for what the fuck he did ignoring Congress and doing his own goddamn operation black eagle. Fuck him. We want to thank Casper Mattress. I think the other thing is that when you just have to remember the stuff that we have done in other countries and remember that that potentially will be a time when the tables

have turned and who's going to listen to the cries from this country of bullshit. The rest of the world is waiting for us to fall. I mean, they're going to be so fucking over. Right now, we're like the Jenga tower that just got the shakiest piece removed and we're still standing somehow like it ain't good. It's not good. But also the Russia thing is a classic example of we've done that to every country in the world.

Yeah, I know, right. Everyone's mad about Russia. I mean, Jesus Christ, clean up your own fucking side of the street first. We've done that to everybody, including Russia. We did it to Russia already. And also, yeah, whatever, but that's like literally our job, like it's what we do as fuck up other countries and we happen to us once and everyone throws a fucking tantrum. You don't get to play ball like that.

If you punch someone in the face and they punch you in the face, guess what? You deserved it. Yeah. Yeah. It was very nice. Thank you. It wasn't the best one for you to be on. Did you like all the dead guy and the burned guy in the car?

What was your favorite picture? What was your favorite part? What was your favorite picture? Yeah. They were all so good. It's a lot for me to choose. I think the Fisherman one. Yeah.

I do. When he's out, when he's out, and it's Goren's Fisherman. Yeah. Yeah. Honey's just like the Goren's Fisherman. Describing him as a wimp. Yeah. Well, we tried.

Well, this is the first redollop. Yeah, it was the first redollop. I guess it's true what they say. I don't remember anything. Later.
