As a European, hearing people call the Democrats "far-left extremists" is absolutely hilarious.
It would be funny here if it wasn't so sad and frustrating
i wish democrats actually were what republicans accuse them of being
@@kaiserruhsam we'd get alot more shit done...
It is like ordering a lemonade and getting water with a lemon wedge.... they are just watered down conservatives
@cybersiku6846 yup. It's why when cons say liberals are far left I think they're a fucking joke. The liberal party is maybe 1950s Eisenhower policies
As a former soldier on Fort Bliss, I signed a contract stating that I couldn't confirm the existence of the cages, that definitely don't exist, being moved to the back of the base, far from public eyes, allegedly, but I can tell you that I was told not to tell you under the threat of jail time. Unless I'm misremembering, at which point I definitely did not sign a contract directing me not to confirm the existence of either cages in the middle of the texas desert or said contract directing me to do so.
What kind of a sick in the head country names a military fort Fort Bilss?? Is that a sick joke or is there some historic hero General Bliss?

@@nevyn_karres It's a powerful form of art. Dangerous even, in the wrong hands.

My favorite part is when Cody debunks the immaterial criticisms of the Biden administration, by criticizing the administration in actually meaningful & productive ways.
Hell, Joe Biden has actually been the harshest president to Cuba in decades. And why, exactly? He lost huge in Florida, so it's not like he's going to win that state in 2024.
Biden has implemented an Immigration App, which is just a total pita and which has problems to take required pictures of immigrants with a bit to dark skin color.
Recognizing the real issues still puts Republicans on the wrong side of history so they make shit up to get mad about.
Oh man you know something went down when a comment says “3 Replies” and then you click on it and it’s just empty

My wife’s family are Mayans from Guatemala. While my wife was born here in 2000 and this is too young to remember, her mother (who speaks Qanjobal as her first language and Spanish as her second) has horror stories from the time of the silent genocide.
Almost every video just dances around that. Thank you. Not only does it make me proud for my wifes family that someone is talking about this but as an indigenous person myself (Oglala Lakota) seeing overlooked indigenous genocide and it’s perpetrators called out is bittersweet.
My boss makes a dollar,

If only the GOP would have done something about the border when they had the Senate, House, a majority in the Supreme Court and a President who ran on border control? If only....
And don't forget, Trump's personal Attorney General puppet, Bill Barr didn't have Hunter Biden arrested. Why?! What a complete failure by Trump.
You can't fault them, they were too busy giving tax breaks to the rich and trying to get rid of healthcare for millions of Americans. It's strenuous work
"In 2 weeks! just trust me!" "and Mexico will pay for it!"
You don't have a majority in the Senate until you have 60 votes thanks to the filibuster. Only a presidential veto should force a super majority vote. Not just a note from the minority.
@@bkucenskiWhich Republican border policy was filibustered by Democrats?
If I had a dollar for every time I asked some MAGA what, specifically, are Biden's policies that they've labeled "open border" without getting an actual specific policy as an answer, I could build a border wall with glued together dollar bills.
Build the wall and make magats pay for it
About time you guys built a wall on the Canadian border. We don't want y'all here.

@@KimdraStBiryukovaCanadians are too busy finding mass graves of native peoples and killing them.
They're scared and don't understand. How could they, when their leader loves them just as educated as they are? We should be more sensitive to the feelings and needs of bullies who don't know any better and sure as shit aren't gonna learn. Can you imagine the horror of reflecting on the country's barbaric history? That's woke Jesus shit and swoll Jesus is having none of it! Murica!
Excellent, as a Salvadoran immigrant i got two notes: it's not "El Salvadoran" it's Salvadoran or Salvadorean or Salvi if you want. Reagan is mostly to blame for the central american bloodshed of the 1980s, but don't deny Carter his credit!
Overall, thank you.
Overall, a good episode. The SV military goverments were emboldened partially by US business interests since the 50s, but the social tensions were most heinous in the 70s.
PS: I did cringe when he added "El" but tbf it's a common gaffe
lol same that was mostly tongue in cheek from me@@bryangaleas4464
Eh, us gringos try. We really do, but, yeah...
"but don't deny Carter his credit!"
In the US, there's this erroneous general perception that Carter was some crazy leftist guy who didn't really do anything except the Iranian stuff. We tend to forget that he was actually a conservative Southern Democrat who started a lot of the horrible right-wing stuff that Reagan wound up getting credit for, like funding the mujahideen and some of the right-wing movements in Central/South America.
@@TheDarthbinky we never learn anything about East Timor either.
On the US ruining Latin American countries, Smedley Butler made it super-clear: "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer; a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
Yep
Thank you, I learned a lot😢
I apologize for my ignorance, but whenever I heard that name in my youth I thought it was a bad guy in a cartoon I didn't watch. Now you're telling me "Smedley Butler" is a real fucking name?
@@davidwatkins711 Yup, a real guy. Also one of a handful of people to have 2 Medals of Honor.
So much of American politics is "we could simply stop [purely negative thing] and see immediate good outcomes if we changed course," and then we just don't.
Purely negative things usually exist because someone with influence makes money off of it
@@Faint366Money is given for things people want and value. Some people are envious of this and label profit as evil.
@@itsoktobehappy461 When the world is actively being destroyed by the pursuit of profit for the few at the expense of everyone else, yeah that's kind of evil
That, and "money is given for things people want and value" obfuscates what actually happens. People who make things people want and value make peanuts. People who make, do not own. The people who own are people who _manipulate systems,_ and are mostly born into having the leverage (power coupons) to manipulate those systems in favor of accumulating more leverage to manipulate those systems (more power coupons). Making diamond-studded toilet seat money off of _manipulation_ at the expense of the people who actually make goods and provide services, as well as those who are shut out of the approved economy by factors such as discrimination and disability, is _kinda evil._
@@itsoktobehappy461If only we could all stand by clapping while ghouls leave us with the bill for their cruelty. You're an inspiration to us all.
@@itsoktobehappy461money is an arbitrary unit of exchange used to deny access to basic necessities in exchange for coerced labor. Profit is evil because it can only exist by not fairly compensating people for the amount of Labor performed.
The irony of Conservatives arguing that teaching history would make citizens "hate America" is that the more people find out just how much history is erased/buried, the more indignant they'll become. There's a lot of good in the US, but it's hard to be patriotic when it turns out a lot of our ongoing systemic problems are because we refuse to reconcile with a history of racism, capitalism, and/or religious zealotry.
It'd be hard to be jingoistic, Patriotic (big 'P'), ultra-nationalist, and isolationist - patriotic (small 'p') would still be possible, but _just_ patriotic doesn't blind people to maintaining the existing hierarchy and extractive policies.
We should criticize our history. That's the fucking spirit of democracy.
@@coderamen666no that’s the spirit of progress. While I agree with your apparent position, we shouldn’t redefine words to be convenient to our stances.
@@lordfelidae4505 And progress is the Republican Party’s Kryptonite.
As an actual anarchist who supports actually open borders, the idea that the Democratic party would cater to people like me literally at all rather than bend over backwards to get the GOP to stop calling them mean names is deeply funny to me.
Yeah they'd rather eat their own gun than give anarchists any thought other than when it comes to policing them lmao
word, it's like, the way the GOP often talks about radical Marxists commie anarchist Democrats leaves me wishing that it were somewhat true lol
Pelosi backed an actual anti-abortion (male) zealot of a candidate over a (female) pro-abortion candidate in the last election. *After* the Dobbs ruling came down. Because the latter pro-choice candidate was a progressive.
She'd rather sell out women to the fascists than embrace a progressive. It's pretty damn telling.
Right? I want the Democrats who live inside the heads of Republicans, not the flaccid milquetoast dipshits we actually have.
How far does your anarchy extend? Can I send 50 random folks over to crash in your living room, or is that the point where you become a hard-core property-rights-loving libertarian?
"So what of Biden's specific policies are causing the issues that we didn't see with Trump?" that ALWAYS shuts them up.
Does it? Because when I ask my coworkers they just say "It's so much worse under Biden" then list one event recently covered by fox/newsmax/Alex Jones
I get alot of angry "it just IS! trump wouldn't allow this!"
@@TheWinterscoming you've got to demand specifics. Sealion them! Drive home the point that they don't know anything.
The questions I ask are, where is the legislation, executive order, memo, text message....that opened the border? And how is it that under Obama, there were more arrests at the border than under Bush, and now under Biden, there are more arrests than under Trump.
And no, no amount of fact will ever shut them up.
@@cajunguy6502Yes! It's the only remotely effective tactic I've found. Most people have enough shame to at least be embarrassed if they can't even say what they're talking about.
My dad actually does this to me when I get too heated about things. Makes me take a breath and focus on facts/specifics
I quoted the statue of liberty once to a chat about not wanting to let in immigrants and was downvoted to hell for "quoting a poem" that "doesnt work in the modern day." Reality doesnt matter to these people, nor does hypocrisy (unless its a Democrat who does it).
It's getting bad. Evangelicals are rejecting the teachings of Jesus for being too liberal.
Which one?
@@caleblaws7722if you mean which poem, the poem is called “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus.
@@caleblaws7722 The one written in the statue itself:
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus
November 2, 1883
Meanwhile, they think the words of the founding fathers 250 years ago are infallible and never need to be reconsidered for modern times when it comes to things like guns.
I've been a SMN fan forever but as a Guatemalan: 1) the part about Guate is pretty spot on 2)Cody really really butchered the pronunciation of Juan Jose Arevalo and Jacobo Arbenz, jajaja (bc I'm laughing in Spanish). For real, though, excellent take.
My dad is from Guatemala and he had to leave to the US to escape the Civil War during the 80s. My cousins over there even had to leave Guate for a while in the early 90s because it was dangerous. And of course, many of the problems that Guatemala has can be traced back to The US meddling in their affairs.
@@spacemanrob96 My family also moved to the USA BC of the Guate civil war. I hope everything worked out okay for your family. We lost an uncle.

Don't take it personally. You should hear how they pronounce Chinese names. Like no one pronounces "ShenZhen" right. US Americans aren't exactly known for being multi-lingual.
AUGHH it drives me nuts because it's the CIA and DEA and other US gov orgs who are directly working with, and funding the cartels. They've been doing it since the early 60s to my home country and they never really stopped. And now because they built up these cartels, people like me needed to FLEE FROM DANGER danger that they HELPED CREATE
That's fucked up, man. I wish y'all the best.
1) the "working with the cartels" thing was a failed program started under Bush, that happened to come to its natural conclusion under Obama and THAT is why you've been fear-mongered to about it by conservatives.
2) Fentanyl precursors are being brought to Mexico by China's CCP-backed criminal underworld, not the US gov. Which, again, is why you're being manipulated by propaganda if not attempting to do so yourself with this comment.

And, also importantly, why lots of those politics are directly or indirectly tied to american politics.
Don't worry. 99% of Americans are already seen as citizens of another country. Don't believe everything you see or hear on media platforms about America. American Psycho Politics.
Every time people claim that there's trouble at our borders that are so awful and horrible and violent, I remember the episode of "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" where he goes to a Texas border town and notes how much the people there, both Mexican and American, *do not want the border fucked with.* They have friends, family, and loved ones just down the street in a completely different country, and their lives and cultures are so integrated as to make all of them stronger.
And honestly, that just makes how inhumane we treat Mexicans at the border in the alleged name of being more humane to them *hurt so much more.*
Defending land borders so hard is dumb NGL. Like, it's one thing to have a quick check and to make sure people don't randomly move into a new country without registering themselves, but it's another to restrict any crossing.
One of the most important things to remember about the Republican party is that when they correctly bring attention to an issue they're doing it to make Democrats look bad, not because they have any intention of trying to make things.
I am always amazed at they way they pull off using left wing issues to go after dems for not doing them while they actively block them and stopped democrats from fixing problems. It’s just amazing! Their voters are such bad faith goons too they do the same tactic
I remember a bit on John Oliver where he talked about some Republican candidate who was running a "Hey, remember when a family could survive on one income?" ad, and Oliver was like "The effed up thing is that he's right, and it's pretty messed up that this messaging is coming from the Republicans rather than the Democrats who fancy themselves the party of the working class." And yeah, it's not like that Republican candidate was pushing for better wages. He was really pushing for nuclear-family "a woman's place is in the kitchen" culture-war nonsense. And he was doing it to make the Democrats look bad.
@@austerity101 There are a lot of economic problems that are caused by policies both Democrat and Republican support (wage stagnation, high cost of living, medical bankruptcy etc.) But for whatever reason, Republicans are much better at weaponizing these structural issues against Democratsthan vice versa.
@@jimbo1637 the reasons for that are more nefarious than they are incompetent, I'd wager.

It says a lot about a person when they're furious a stranger might get what they themselves have but never earned.
"Being born lucky" is not a virtue or an achievement. I'd rather have the immigrants and get rid of the people who punch down at the ones who didn't win a birth lottery.
Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that even immigrants are anti-immigration. I don’t know if it’s the “I’ve got mine, now get lost” attitude or the “they don’t look like me” attitude, or maybe, “they are not Christians” attitude. You’d think immigrants would be more open minded but that has not been my experience. I always argue that in a generation or two, immigrants invariably assimilate. Waves of Italian, Poles, Irish, Ukrainian (and on and on…) all meld into the fabric of the nation. Each wave was derided as horrible, “the end of our way of life!” But we have short memories and long prejudices.
@@learningisfun2108they finally make it to a place that they believe if they work hard they can get rich so they don’t want to come and mess it up by changing it.. but changing it is closing the border and condemning themselves (and us) to being the people that will have to work extra hard to allow the boomers to all retire at once.

@@Terry-pf4dr Well said. Democrats have always had a problem getting their message out, IMO.
I so love bringing out this 2nd amendment argument:
If we keep preventing Good and Law abiding people from crossing our borders, then only Criminals will immigrate to this country!
Also this one:
The only thing that can stop a Bad Immigrant is a Good Immigrant!
Ooo. The second one is good.
@@katalepsykills
The really interesting part is... it is correct.
Migrant communities, at least those not forced to fear the police, are more then willing to crack down on their own criminal elements. They don't want to live in a place filled with crime either, cartels are one of the many things they are trying to get away from! Cracking down on these communities simply for being immigrants only isolates them, making it more likely criminal elements take root within those areas.
A good immigrant probably doesn't even need a gun to do it.
What second amendment argument? The 2nd amendment is pretty clear, what are you trying to argue against it, and why do you want to argue against one of peoples civil rights?
@@cascadianrangers728 They're referring to the *way* people argue for lack of gun control (i.e. regarding the second amendment). Yes the 2nd guarantees the right to bear arms, but that doesn't mean there should be absolutely no control over that with the advancement in weaponry compared to a one-shot musket that requires being packed by hand each time.
@@_.-_ If the second amendment can't protect modern weapons why can the first amendment protect free speech on modern Internet and thru a loudspeaker? They didn't have high capacity assault megaphones in the 1700s, they only had speaking tubes, so obviously the 1st amendment only protects people expressing their opinions through a speaking horn and not a megaphone
Do you see how fuckin dumb that argument is
You can't depoliticize something and just treat it as a humanitarian problem, because caring about humanitarian problems is a left-wing position.
It's something decent people do. It's not political, but it may seem that way to proto-fascists, who prefer barbed wire traps submerged in the Rio Grande that have already killed a lot of women, including pregnant women, and children. Loved by pro-life Republicans who believe all life is precious but violently oppose a group called "Black Lives Matter."

The reason Americans don't talk about the war of 1812 is that A). it's a war they lost and they hate that* B). Native Americans got massively screwed over by both sides and Americans don't like to talk about that. And C). It was the point at which The Second Amendment as written became obsolete because it lead the the dismantling of the militia system in favour of a standing army. We should probably talk about that more but it's politically inconvenient.
*The United States lost the war not in the sense of being defeated but in the sense of not achieving your stated goals when your opponent did. Other than that it was a draw and everything went back to the status quo which I suppose might be another reason people don't talk about it more, on a global scale it was essentially a footnote to the larger Napoleonic conflict.

Only thing I know for sure is that Cody has most certainly watched the first Republican debate.
I'm glad someone did. I sure didn't... I wish I did, but i just didn't want to deal with the headache and nausea that comes with it
@@Briaaanz I managed 50 seconds before my head hurt too much due to major eye rollage.
I watched a RUclips Poop edit of it and it's all I need honestly
I watched it for the same reason i watch any shitshow debate, because i can't dispell people's misconceptions if i don't know the weaselshit tactics of the people they adore.
@bazingaburg8264 I watched it too because I want first hand knowledge of a thing and not someone's interpretation. Gotta know the enemy am I right?
Thank you, SMN crew.
Cody: anarchists aren't maniacs, though we do hate America the way it is currently constituted. The system is broken, and things will get worse before they get better as long as we continue to do the things we are doing.
pretty sure not edgeordaarchists, domostly community activities and organizing.Which is cool,and helpful.
I love being gifted complex knowledge that no one else wants to talk about. All my friends stopped inviting me to parties!
You guys are so good. Thank you.
I know you are but what am I?
@@banquetoftheleviathan1404Kermit, the Daily Wire wants you to work, not dilly dally.
Ngl youtube premium is the best purchase I've ever made.
Election season is the absolute worst and. It seeing ads about it constantly is just the most relaxing thing ever
As always, the best long-form political commentary show out there.
I can't believe they managed to get Astarion to do the ad read!
Great episode, Showdy!
A bit disheartening that when people talk about USA imperialism, it's very rare to see them mention Brazil. We had a chance at baing a true socialist country (rest in peace, João Goulart) and it was robbed from us when USA financed a military coup in 1964 and far-right dictatorship that fucked us over for twenty years, and still does.
Goulart wasn't even a socialist, he was closer to a social-democrat, coming from the political tradition arising from Vargas' post-45 trabalhista turn. That was more than enough to trigger the reactionary forces at home and abroad.
I know this show is mostly by americans for americans, but an episode on this same issue in Europe might be a good one to do. What are the parallels? What are the differences? Why?
As a UK resident I love to watch your show and laugh smugly at how bad things are across the pond. Such things could never happen here. What's this? A story about someone called Bibby Stockholm? That sounds like the sort of whimsical, low-stakes content we Brits love *click*. ... . Oh my. Oh dear, oh my, oh my giddy aunt. Well, immigration's a complicated issue, isn't it?
My favorite saddest news 😢❤🎉🎉🎉 Thanks guys! We appreciate it👏🏾🫡❤️❤️❤️
Yessir most definitely 👏🏾
There are actual printed words on Cody's papers. I feel so betrayed.
“lightning crashes by Live”?!
Omg I love Katy so much. Best ad delivery ever 😂
It was thing I laughed at the most! 💀
Worrying about the violent, crime ridden hellhole across our southern border is one of the things Canadians 🍁 have in common with the USA 🇺🇸.
I call Niagara Falls, NY "Nogales, New York"... you can see the much better life on the other side.
I might have to repeat that joke. Cheers from Toronto;. Enjoying free expression before fascists take over.
Yay another Some More News! I do love it when a new one pops up--
I've watched this channel for a while now and I feel they have a really European take on America, which I mean in a very positive way (I'm Belgian and I think most of us feel your media is insane). It's rare to see such a well informed and balanced view on American issues. Keep it up Cody!
Cody isn’t meant to be taken seriously
@@itsoktobehappy461I get the sense that many people here feel the same way about you.
@@itsoktobehappy461You're meant to pick your nose and shut up about it if you have nothing substantive to contribute. Go away.
@@django3422 I get a sense that Cody’s followers view the economy like a child.
@@bazingaburg8264 Spoken like a committed Cody follower, I guess you are meant to learn economics from communist Cody and cry more about everything.
Legalized drugs like Netherlands and Portugal, and the crime will plummet. It will never go away, especially not in a country like America where Greed rules their ways, but it will lower crime as it did in Portugal when they decided, maybe it was time to listen to people and not to people that want to control others.
Did not know that Portugal had those law's implemented good on them!
America is learning a lesson that Britain learned in the 70s: Most geopolitical problems in the world can be directly traced to an Englishman with a map and a ruler.
Before watching the video: It's colonialism, isn't it?
After watching the video: Yep it's colonialism.
Every time Cody does a sponsor spot for this AG1 crap, you can tell he's almost choking just trying to swallow the stuff...
I haven't used that one, but it helps to bury greens in a smoothie.
Appearantly it's not that bad, the problem is you're not supposed to shotgun it like he always does 😅
@@thekwjiboowhich he sometimes comments on.
At least today he chugged it fancily.
apparently people buy the crap anyway
Love how you highlighted & summarized these pieces!
I worked with a guy that moved to Texas from Mexico and he talked about how the US military worked with the cartels to encourage use of American currency to help strengthen American currency by compromising the peso.
5:14 Fentanyl deaths - here’s an idea that will probably float like a lead balloon among some readers: legalize all drugs, sell unadulterated versions cheaply to current addicts, create safe spaces for users where there are medical staff to mitigate overdoses, and provide therapy and counseling for those who want to detox and fight their addictions. It would cut off a huge source of funding for the cartels, prevent many deaths, and maybe get some people rehabilitated and back into society. Tax dollars well spent!
A minute and a half in, but I have to stop and say; As a Canadian, it's about time someone started realizing the threat we pose to the world at large.
Gonna apologize us to death?
@@denverarnold6210 sorry, but no.
Still, very sorry.
As long as jreg stays mayor and dictator of Ottawa, Canada can do whatever it wants.
Is Canada going to help protect all these migrants?
As an Australian, I am ashamed that one of our major exports has been our migration policy. Like, Trump, as well as a lot of European countries during the Syrian refugee crisis, just copied it pretty closely. But we've been doing this since like the 90s, but especially since like two weeks before 9/11.
If you don't know the significance, our government got pictures of refugees in life-jackets fleeing a sinking vessel, and lied, saying they were "throwing their children overboard". They got called out for it briefly, and then 9/11 happened, and it became a "national security issue" and an unpopular government got elected in a landslide.
Fantastic work! Thank you, Cody!
The phrase "my poo song is 'lightning crashes' by Live", is the funniest thing I've heard in decades. I literally busted out laughing. Thank you.
I've found recently some success with conservatives, getting them to ask why just one or two more levels deeper.
:)
Yep - that's why Reps keep cutting education
Thank you SMN team.
Always love and appreciate all of the work you do, just to bring me some more news. Thanks
I appreciate the Sonic references in Katie's first ad break
We are just as bad in the UK sadly and we live on a damn Island. Westminster is forcing refugees into barges which had Legionnaire's disease. Also in Scotland where i live we have an swful drug problem but again we live on an island, my point being being walls wont make much difference at all (also Fentanyl has barely came here yet-its benzodiazapines and heroin that's killing people which is smuggled either in the post or on ship containers and lorries from France). So yeah our Rifht wing Tories are just as monstrous
That's a shame, but not surprising.
@@cryptbeast3222 I know it's not surprising in the slightest 😕
Maybe if you build a wall between yourself and The Ocean it’ll help?
@@SorowFame it'll help everyone else at least-keep us from interfering in other countries any more (because we sure as hell still do it)
i've been following you guys for more than 10 years now and it has always been fascinating how similar talks about US issues, their origins and potential solutions to the french ones
I have been impatiently waiting for your next video. thanks for coming back for me, news guy
Perfect t-shirt "American Slavery: We want your Labor, Not your baggage"
Where would the GOP be if they didn’t create problems to complain about?
44:52 Didn't expect to see the Alcoutim zipline between Portugal and Spain on SMN. But I guess that's what I'm here for!
come for helpful information, stay for Katie's wonderful ad reads
1:41 the really big Tim Hortons
Idk who was responsible. But I'm pretty sure Father John Ward prevented the Profane Sabbath and stopped the Eternal Order of the Second Death in Conneticut.
Slow down, not everyone has 5 hours to watch every Wendigoon video as they come out

I get the vibe Cody and Katie write each other’s ad bits and have to read/improvise them on the spot. I love it
This is both the funniest and most educational news channel on RUclips. You guys are the best! Much love from the Philippines!
Don’t worry republicans are gonna fix the borter…boarder? 🤔
Why don’t they just make a bridge so that the immigrants can cross over the border safely without getting hit by border patrol?
We'll station Lassie as the boarder patrol
I knew it, it was the BOARS all along!
@@AnonymousAnarchist2 yes…we need a boarder wall to keep the boars out!
@@tacticalpants5186Wall wont work against the BOARS!!! they have teleporters!
We need an army of robots to take the boars on, unless the boars already have one! It might be too late
You talk sense.
That is not allowed in 2023.
But please keep doing it.
Cody is envious of rich people
Thanks for giving me some more news, Cody!
Thanks gang. Lovely work.
As a 40yr old, I beg our youth to pay attention and get involved. These people in power have been in the game for longer than I've been alive.
As long as Steven Crowder and Jordan Peterson are in the US, we have no borders
Borders went out of bidness like forever ago, dude
@@banquetoftheleviathan1404 I challenge you to run past border patrol and test that out
same with the guy who started the piss bois
@@skullshapedbox Gavin mcshitfick
Please keep them. We don't want them back.
Informative as always. Can't wait for the next.
You are doing valuable work. Thank you
I love playing "Whose crisis is it anyways?"
