The pain in Cali's eyes when Austin disagreed with him was a terrible, beautiful thing. Well done, Ben. 😁
Honestly California, especially as of late, has a habit of mandatory compliance and it’s obviously not a good thing. California is littered with the poor and everything is so expensive that they’re only a rich state on technicality and it’s no wonder why people from there are leaving.

When Texas has to get Austin to disagree with California so they'll actually listen
I'm British with USA friends and I love this channel esp these sketches! My only criticism here is that counterintuitive is something that works that defies your expectations, the word there should've been "counterproductive" even if I don't necessarily agree with that part.
People with mental health problems + illegal drug abuse issues together, need both a carrot and a stick to want to get better, and ready access to therapy, maybe good CBD products perhaps and certainly not that uber strong herb the USA has now. We're at the point now the flower is stronger than 60s gold seal.
Flower then: About 5%. Flower today can reach 33% before extra special processing.
The California hippies are now living stereotypes, MEMES of the Reefer Madness propaganda, which started off back in the day as literal racism against Mexicans and Black Americans.
"Living in a tent on the street, spending my welfare on modern green equivalent to Vodka, and crapping on the sidewalk is my Gaia-given doody. MUH LIBERTIES!"
maybe when Texas passes something (idk oil related) maybe cali needs to get Bakersfield to disagree so texas will listen, lol.
@@TheHorseshoePartyUK sir that would be the heroin not the weed, there are loads of recreational states that dont have California's issues
@@windscape8670 I’ve been begging for a Bakersfield (California without the cap) to come out.
@@EmmaBonn96 It will happen someday! I was thinking Cali with a Texas hat edited in but that could be harder to convey
Austin and Texas working in unity. That's what I like to see
I wish San Antonio was there cause a sheriff there is investigating Ron desantis
@@imanmerchant5142 Texas: *judging dad look*
Austin: *Judging brother look*
San Antonio:... What did I do?
Texas: Yall be persecutin' an innocent man is what yer doin!!
Austin: Why didn't you do this sooner?!
it does not happen often but when it does its like the parodical son returning.
Funnily enough this is the second time in a row they go together
@@imanmerchant5142 I honestly would like to see what Ben does with a character embodiment of my home city.
The Bills being good at football taking New York out about 45 mins after the Bills lost was kind of ironic
Phins up!
I knew it wouldn't last, it was a lot of fun while it did.
@@Ahab1765 Yessir, we going for the Florida Sweep this year, Phins, Jags, and Bucs
@@kanghkja3391 Florida man found giving Florida nfl opponents sleeping pills before dolphins - bills game pardoned by President for “doing the nation a favor”

I love that Alaska mostly makes sense and only talks when he has something logical to say. Alaska is definitely the best
Which is funny, because Alaska is one of the most right leaning states in the union.
@@leolordful my social healthcare, programs, and literal free money every year disagrees with you.
@@leolordful alaska probably just has a lot of republicans who want the federal government to leave them alone. that group can be *shockingly* progressive when it comes to their state and local governments
@@lauraknight5973 The amount of complaining about the federal government I hear from relatives living there. it’s basically their version of complaining about the weather. That and actually complaining about the weather.
@@usernopitynopenope7467 I'm from rural Nevada and we're the same way. Like my first memories are of my grandma complaining about the federal government.
“Using the money you gave us from HURRICANE COVID!”😅 oh god, we need a full sketch of California explaining what COVID is to Florida
Yes!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, the land of make believe and corrupt politicians is just the "person" to explain that whole mess we all went through. Cool.
Since they've been trying to do that for two years, it'll wind up with Cali either crying or losing his mind. And I would absolutely bring the popcorn to see that.
@@CortexNewsService Yeah at this point they've just gave up trying to explain Covid to Florida
No it's then him explaining turning on California what a huricane is and the social tradition of it.
“Et tu, Austin?”
THAT MADE ME LAUGH TOO MUCH WHYYYYY
As a Québécois, it weirds me out, its should have been : Toi aussi, Austin?
@@ammo-qw8iu your guys french is *that* different wow-
@@ammo-qw8iu but it's latin. it's a Caesar reference. "Et tu, Brute?" as Brutus stabs Julius, betraying him like Judas betrayed Christ.
@@ammo-qw8iu what weirds me out was the pronunciation…
@@VelumCaeli oh thanks for that i didnt know,
Texas snitched on Illinois immediately 😭
For a bullshit reason, too. Literally everything that people who oppose the end of cash bail say was debunked.
I love that Texas literally keep Austin under it's hat.
He's secretly keeping the Texas cities at war with each other to keep them from ganging up on him.
Considering he's got 5 of the largest cities in the country (3 in the top 10), he has to...
Sadly everyone just assumes Austin is the only blue part of Texas. Pretty much every major city leans liberal/progressive. Dallas, Houston, El Paso, my own city San Antonio, and even Ft Worth leans bluer than the rest of the state. (Not you Corpus Christi, you know what you did.)
@@KellyDVance Austin is just up in the forefront of everyone's mind due to the combination of the state government and the tech industry. Not even NASA being in Houston can make up for that.
@@KellyDVance I’d also like to call out about half of Jacksboro with that statement- *you motherquackers know what you did.*
@@KellyDVance
He’s using Austin because it’s a capital city, and thus, is better at proving the point. Same thing happens with Mississippi and Jackson.
Always amazed that these 4 minute videos are packed with so much information and paced so perfectly they seem like 10 minute videos and 1 minute videos at the same time.
I watch this instead of the news, it’s more entertaining and shorter
@@FrenchToastin_ this for current events, john oliver for long form deep dives
@@VelumCaeli
That’s how i get by news.
I especially love when Ben acknowledged Johnny boy’s existence (in the video earlier this year, where he also discusses the Alaskan politician; Santa Claus.)
The fact that this popped up and I watched it and I was watching criminal minds at the same time was just so perfect
Creepy in my opinion... The Algorithm is learning?
The BAU spent half the series in Florida, so Florida knows what it knows.
(I’m over exaggerating a bit…maybe not).
cali putting his hand over his heart whenever talking to austin I love that detail
As a NYer who's whole family is in the Bill's Mafia, this was so hilariously accurate. Haha.
Bills didn’t do so hot against Miami
Wait, a baseball team is involved with mafia?
@Abominable Snowman I GOT recruited wants my 5TH Favorite nephew went there. He JUST graduated AND had a part time job working with them for his last semester. That's something to do with a bunch of people putting in video compilations but their games and making their own video shirts of it, that's how he won the spot. I don't know if you saw it but one of his is has of course field action in it. But the background music is a really slow haunting cover of the Rolling Stones Paint It Black. Anyway... IDC what these ppl say. ALL I gotta say is y'all better make sure you keep your #LacesOUT cuz we'll be back! These ppl are trying to trash talk to somebody who's been a JETS fan since Joe Namath ok? Buttles had his first club in our town here LOL! #BrooklynBorn #StrongIslandRaised #BillsNation #NYGENXBIKERLady
New York being passed out from the Bills games so far was hilarious!
Nah mass killed New York because everyone knows New Yorkers never sleep and must stay conscious or they die
Hey, I mean, when are you gonna need booze if not after sports breaks your heart? ;)
@@JV-the-Tossh Guess he's getting ready for the playoffs early. Xp
I miss Massachusetts for this, especially MV. No matter how annoyed & snarky some Masshole will be with you, they'll still feel obliged to help you get on your feet.
As a Texan that has been in the mental health system here, Big Tex really doesn’t know what he’s talking about
How so?
@@victortrevino3934 Mental health isn’t a top priority here. The systems that we do have don’t actually do too much other than forcing you to go to inpatient for a couple weeks and then spitting you back out into the world
I believe you missed the point. Maybe watch it again?
@@philmccraken as a fellow Texan, 100% concur.
I have private health insurance and still cash pay for a telehealth service. It's just easier, less gatekeeping, and still cheaper than using insurance.
This was a really really good one! The states are so individual that I always forget it's just one person playing everyone lol
And ...
"Aren't we all against poor people?"
Nailed it
Awww Austin and Cali had their first fight as boyfriends
I spat my tea reading this 😂
One of the best parts about how you do these is the fact that your voice even changes depending on the character. Not just the accent, but the pitch, too.
Ahhh, California betrayed by Austin and New York finally gets some sleep... and Illinois got long table time!
I like how Austin is portrayed as Texas's split personality
Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville all have the opposite personality from the rest of Tennessee. I think there are a lot of blue cities in red states all around the country.
And everyone else in those red states hates that one city.
@@ThreeRunHomer yeah, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. Take that how you will.
@@ThreeRunHomer Denser populations tend to skew more blue for a myriad of reasons, but because fields and deserts don't vote, rural voters cause voting maps to look more balanced.
Texas's little blueberry
The general agreement to "We all hate poor people" KILLED ME
Good thing NY was in an alcohol coma for today’s game lol
That’ll be one nasty hangover….
I love the California x Austin friendship/bromance
it really isn't
Sadly too many Austinites are hyper hostile to folks from California. My husband (we live in San Antonio, just an hour south) was threatened by someone in Austin (not even from Austin but who has moved there from another part of Texas) who had never met him for the "sin" of being from California. Didn't matter that he'd lived here almost his entire adult life, served in the Texas Air National Guard, did hurricane relief, graduated from a Texas College, and had lived here longer than she'd been out of diapers. He was born and raised in California and that was all that mattered to her.
He gets it from a lot of Texans, but the ones who claim to be the most liberal and accepting are the ones that show their hypocrisy at every opportunity.
Can you talk about what happened in Colarado recently in your next table news? A police officer in Colorado parked his cruiser on a set of train tracks with a woman inside. A train hit the car and she suffered 9 broken ribs, a fractured sternum, broken arm, and numerous injuries to her head, back, and legs. It will probably be a hard thing to make jokes out of but I think more people should be talking about it.
OH MY GOD! SERIOUSLY!?! What an *INCREDIBLY* stupid thing to do! She is *SO* lucky to be alive! Man I hope they throw the book at that cop. & she sues the police for every penny they've got & wins!
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 I know right!!! Its insane! There's multiple articles about it and footage of the accident, the police HEARD the sirens of the train when they put the woman in the car and they just left her there!!
I'm surprised there was no video of the officers swirling their mustaches like the 1930's train track villain they are.
Florida still thinking that COVID is a hurricane sent me
3:32 by far the greatest screw cap to come out of these sketches. a reaction meme waiting to happen, i love it-
This video encouraged me to ask my friend how bail/bonds work and, while I already hated the U.S. government, I now know how much more I should hate it. It gets worse every day!
In other news, California's stuff reminds me of what it's like as a mentally ill person dealing with the mental healthcare system. Psych wards are terrifying. I went to one for teens and younger willingly and came out traumatized. It was horrific hearing the stories of people who were forced there, and we all had to follow spoken and unspoken rules if we wanted to get out. Most horrific was some kids saying they were in worse hospitals, such as a common one they went to involving patients fighting each other and staff not interfering. I already felt stripped of my personhood. I can't imagine what it was like in that hospital.
TL;DR, yeah, some people need a push to get help, but when that help might involve your loss of personhood or worse, sometimes the other option is to stay free with no support.
If not for a lot of poor/disabled programs requiring me to get mental health help, I wouldn't be working with some doctors. It's hard to find good ones if you can't afford it.
Where I agree with Austin that forcing people into a program they dont want is bad, I do also agree with California's sentiment of being tired of doing nothing and at least trying SOMETHING. Something in most cases is better than nothing.
nah "something" can be bad. very bad. worse than nothing in fact.
@@JorgeFabrizio Its a good thing I typed the phrase "in most cases" to cover this exact fact! :) but thank you for clarifying something I already said!
Every time Alaska comes for TX I smile
Lol. Texas willingly letting out Austin. It's like Bruce Banner every time he came to an agreement with The Hulk.
California was actually really great to me when I was homeless. Took me four months to get an apartment and get my life together. I never lacked for food, showers, and anything I needed to survive. Way to go, Cali.
They most certainly did not take care of them.
Getting them to a place with resources, funds, and lawyers is...in fact... taking care of them. 👍🏽
@@dinahmyte3749 They called in the National Guard to handle it all. That IS NOT taking care of it like they expect the citizens of FL & TX to do!!!! Also that was for just 50 people. FL & TX get hundreds of thousands every year. Why & how do people keep shrugging their shoulders at this? It IS taking away from resources available to our citizens. An illegal immigrant has better health care than I do...I, as in, someone who's paid taxes for DECADES.
Why did you think they sent them to Martha's vineyard. Most of the people there have signs that say no human is illegal in their yards.
Yay I finished watching all the 120 episodes love your channel so much❤
Also Austin is so nice❤
❤
Also new font looks cool😊
Is this the first time Texas has purposely called for Austin?
I didn't expect to see something that hit so close to home in this, but you always manage to surprise and educate me. Thank you
I love Texas and Florida
And when I say Texas I mean Austin
This is literally where I get my weekly nation wide news🤣
Got caught up on American politics for the week, thanks Ben.
So much easier on the eyes, and definitely the ears than listening to actual politicians. Although those sessions *do* help with insomnia.
You know that Ben could've brought up New York sleeping due to too much cannabis but the alcohol stereotype is true. In Brooklyn alone there's at least 1 to 2 bars a block and I'm from there
As a Californian I have to say that crime, especially violent crime and theft are through the roof since this bail garbage was passed. Most don't even call the cops anymore because the person is just out in a few hours anyways and then they never go to court. Complete joke of a system.
that doesn`t sound right at all. it sound like a facebook group chat.
@@JayJayM57
Well, I have to live it every day
@@Zack-vc2lj that tells me nothing. I know of African Americans that have not dealt with the "struggle" and white Caucasians that have. "the struggle is the unfair system which constantly punishes minorities". the reason for this was the neighborhood they were born and raised. I also shut someone up for making shit up. he loves to talk about how he knew what was better and he always talks out of his as. what you have said sounds like a group of guys saying shit and talking while drinking beers. do you have data? no one wants crime so a highly doubt everything you said. the point of no bail is to stop people from being locked up for years without a trial as nothing more than slave labor. California itself is guilty of this. you guys have prisoner firefighters and not all of them have gone to trial. people don`t want crime, I hardly doubt things are happening as you describe them.
You know it’s bad when Texas LET Austin weigh in!
Actually, Mass is a sanctuary state which is why the Venezuelan migrants were sent to Connecticut. And cashless bail should not be given to repeat offenders.
I'm still in shock about the Bills, honestly, it has been FUN.
I know you don't cover news from outside the states, but Canada has had oddly Floridian news this week: a sinkhole swallowed four cars in Edmonton, and hurricane Fiona took out most of the Maritime's power. also, someone running to lead Alberta's UCP party is saying that she'll pass a law saying that the province doesn't have to follow any of Ottawa's laws
American who isn't too familiar with our neighbors up north, but won't that hamstring your nation's government? Does that mean you won't have to follow the screwed up gun laws?
@@leolordful ok so for context all of the Canadian provinces have their own legislative assemblies, the leader of which is the elected leader of the political party that got the most seats.
the leader of the current government in Alberta was voted out of leadership because everyone hates him. one of the people running to replace him just to run a far-right party called the wild roses before it joined with the conservatives to become the UCP
the country is divided east vs west and Alberta is in the west. one of the biggest differences is the fact that so many people live in just Ontario compared to all of the west combined that the government can be call before our poles even close. so, the liberals in particular have no reason to listen to the western side of the country. so, they don't bother. in fact, Trudeau has been actively screwing us for years.
Alberta is one of two provinces with a separatist movement run by the reborn wild rose party.
the proposed law isn't supposed to make it past any sort of review.
it's supposed to cause a crisis in Ottawa.
so, TL; DR Alberta has such a small population in a place that isn't supper important to winning elections. the campaign promise is meant to get the candidate thru both elections on people who don't realize it's unconditional and
b) force Ottawa to pay attention to us
@@leolordful also i don't know much about our gun laws it doesn't come up much in places where shootings aren't normal. But it is under provincial jurisdiction. Unlike the states there os little to no overlap on what the federal vs provincial government can legislatlate. So the gun laws here probably wouldn't change
I hope he talks about how Virginia’s governor is taking away rights from trans kids, but ACPS school district goes “hah nope”
I guess he's still in the 19th century.
How'd ya CHANGE the MINDS of CLOSED MINDS? If SOCIETY can find the ANSWERS we'd be in a BETTET PLACE. IT'LL TAKE Some Time and/or Educational Experiences by those closed minds.
@@robertlee8805 yep, he also made masks not necessary in schools. Pure idiot. Our old governor was a pediatrician. He knew what he was doing.
LOL. Texas actually allowing Austin out to talk! Awesome! XD
Austin! Love to see you!
i just remembered again suddenly that you're all one person. (Well, except Hawai'i.) You've done a pretty good job capturing each of the states, and even though I know it's all you, that fact does kind of sneak up on me.
There was one time where Wisconsin was played by a different person as well.
As soon as it popped up I clicked as fast as I can
Poor Cali... didn't expect the lecture from Austin or knew it was coming and had to fortify?
(Austin is right, tho. I applaud Cali *trying* but having it be mandatory for some will lead it to be distrusted by most.)
Also, thank you for having the other states chip in on not having or limiting cash bail. I. knew there were more and that one was relatively recent, but couldn't remember which. Now to use that in the next discussion with the pearl clutchers.
Gotta say, that round table agreement about not liking us poors hit a little hard. True but painful.
It's a stigmatism that stereotypes "All Poor People are irresponsible trouble makers." It's the true trouble makers tgat give poor people a bad name. The "Failed Business Owner Down on his luck needs a job" positive stereotype that is supposed to balance the negative and convince people to help.
@@iyaayas personally, I'm still waiting for the universal strike.
They can shit on us right up to the point we all refuse to cooperate any longer. It's the working class that has the power, don't forget that.
@@anonymoose116
Absolutely. I can't tell you how often I find myself saying to other less affluent people like me that I'm acquainted with who are scapegoating POC & vote Rep that it's the oligarchy that is pitting us against each other & that we should be joining forces against those playing these games with our lives.
I hope to see a General Strike someday, otherwise I kinda fear an American version of the French Revolution...
New York my beloved ❤ I understand him more than I should considering I'm a Wisconsinite who's never been to New York
Massachusetts: we’re rude, but we’ll actually take care of you.
If you can deal with us being Massholes you'll be fine
Unless you are an illegal alien in Martha's Vineyard, then it is "get the hell out!"
@@ubergeek1968 The migrants dumped there by Texas and Florida weren't illegal. They were taken to were they could actually get the help falsely promised to them, as the town on Martha's Vineyard is typically only 5k residents during winter months.
@@Kahtini Some of the Richest people in the USA have homes there and yet they could not "afford" to help people they boasted about wanting to help before it happened. They said they were welcoming and inclusive and as soon as they had the chance to prove it they imminently went against it. You can't say you want to help these people then throw them away as soon as your given the chance to help. So gas light all you want it wont change the fact that everyone on the left is only doing it for back pats and not to actually help anyone.
@@Kahtini exactly
Also the reason why we relocated them is because it's an island with nothing there to help them those first few days were them being taken care of by the residents
Should they have even been at Martha's Vineyard no it's a petty act to use people seeking a fresh start or in some cases leaving family to take care of those who left
If there was communication ad to them arriving my stance would be better however the fact they were dropped with no one letting us know of it and that doesn't mean we didn't care for them
Real talk, the MA thing is actually a pretty common takeaway from New England, in my experience.
Everyone assumes we're mean, but we're not. We're *honest*. We don't know you, we're not going to pretend we're best friends if we've never seen you before.
We also cuss like fucking sailors.
I love seeing Austin and Texas work together on this, it's beautiful
Absolutly love these skits Ben very creative!
"Trying something" is what has gotten us into half of these messes in the first place. We've kept 'trying' to do stuff to fix problems, but we (almost) NEVER fix the underlying issues. They either are tested on to limited of a scale resulting in it 'seeming' to work only for the points of failure repeatedly occur because it's become so large it's inevitable. OR the system backfires so massively you either make the problem worse or you make more problems. I mean take a look at the 'war on drugs' which has been claimed to be something like 1% effective at actually stopping drugs.
As someone from Illinois it’s getting really tiring the amount of people misrepresenting our cash bail law
So the part of the bill that says cops can't remove trespassers off of private property is just for PR?
Yeah I've seen at least 3 tik tokkers saying 'the purge is real'
Yeah I've seen at least 3 tik tokkers saying 'the purge is real'
As an ignorant PA resident who doesn't spend much time on TikTok and has never seen the Purge movies, would you mind explaining/pointing me towards some who can explain why the comparison is being drawn?
@@lovenotegestapo basically, people are saying that this means that all criminals currently stuck in jail on cash bail will be released, which would include people in jail for second degree murder and arson. Of course, this isn’t the case, as judges can still rule certain criminals must stay in jail until trial if they pose a threat to the community, which of course would include those convicted of the crimes I just mentioned.
T-texas willingly letting Austin speak?! This is insanity!!
Love your channel!!
Idk cash bail helped me get a decent defense team and then the judge said "You paid too much money so we're gonna basically expunge your record because it was an unfair punishment for the crime." I'm not going to jail no more if i can't pay bail.
If anyone wants something funny, a bald eagle got into a fight with a grizzly in Alaska.
I never get tired of watching you play all those different extremely accurate personalities of states this series is just fantastic much love
That 'but money!' was too good XD
My favorite one to date. Thanks for the bad ass content!!
What's funny about New York is bills lost today to Florida 🤣🤣🤣
True! And the Bucs lost to Green Bay. A fascinating football day
Probably why he is still passed out
The Criminal Minds reference as someone from Florida who loves Criminal Minds made me so happy
Haha 😂 thank you 🙏 Ben 🙏
i went running to my phone as soon as the notification popped up, now i'm listening at work & grinning like an idiot lol
Thanks
Austin agreeing with Texas to go against California killed me xD
I'm a Brit and I came across these vids quite by chance - I don't understand some of what's being talked about but they still make me laugh. Love Florida, Hawaii and Alaska.
I feel the same way listening to The Blame Game.
Digging the new design!
And this sketch was hilarious and informative as always
Sadly here in alaska it's like a revolving door with criminal acts, get caught in the act and your released on sight because many of the judges don't care and those who are guilty go free to commit more crimes before their day in court. Our court system here is so clogged up with repeated offenders who get arrested and released 2 or 3 times before the initial court date is obscene
Seeing new York lazy because of the buffalo bills is actually accurate because though the bills are one team that represents a part of New York, the residents of Buffalo act like the bills are superior so basically "be a fan of the bills or die"
Source: I was there for 4 days and saw everything
Bills are THE ONLY NY NFL team. Giants and Jets are both New Jersey.
Your channel is amazing and I love it
We not gonna talk about how Illinois law enforcement also can't force a trespasser off private property because of that new piece of legislation they passed?
sounds like facebook groups nonsense
@@JayJayM57 nope. Literally a video of a Chicago chief officer reading off all of the new rules on enforcement including the bail and trespassing. Even he seemed appalled.
Edit: I did go back and read through some of the document and while I do believe some of these changes are good, I feel some do more harm.
Its good that officers are required by law to have body cams on them and that they can't review the footage before writing a report.
But its also stupid that an officer can't remove someone from private property unless they are threatening. Say for example a squater comes into your house and makes themselves at home. You call the police to have them removed for trespassing yet all they can do is give them a citation so long as the squatter isn't being threatening. That makes no sense.
Another thing is that the legislation makes it illegal for officers to taze someone in the back despite in training it is recommended to target the back.
Another is that should an individual under house arrest leave their place of detainment, the officers are unable to go after them for 48 hours. You can literally leave the state in that time.
Again, while some of the newly implaced laws are good and beneficial, some of them are going to do more harm than good if not looked at more thoroughly.
But then again I live in Florida so I guess I shouldn't really be talking.
Apologies for the rant. My father goes up to Illinois every year for business so hearing about some of these new laws being put into place made me a bit worried.
@@legosamurai732animation2 the hard right the GOP here took doesn't help. Some in the party did point out those issues, but then started calling it the purge law. And the party's overall positions have gone far right. The current GOP governor candidate has gone on recod saying that same sex marriage is evil, said abortion was worse than the holocaust (while running against a Jewish governor), and made a name for himself saying covid was a hoax. And he's not even the worst GOP candidate this year.
I miss when we had pragmatic Republicans in this state.
@@legosamurai732animation2 Your rat is ok, I understand your rage when you think the laws are becoming criminal freely but I doubt it. I grew up in a conservative community and move to a liberal city for employment and I can tell you both liberal and conservative do not like crime but go on different ways to fix it. conservatives are more interested in who and hard punishment to discourage crimes while liberals are more interested in why to see if the cause has a root that creates more criminals. for example, lead pipes. I`m not trying to look down on you but I find it hard to believe the laws behave like that. For some of them, the no reviewing body camera sounds partially legit and the non-tazing people in the back sound true. I can see the reasoning behind those 2. wanting officers to be sure and not randomly taser people. but the squatter's sounds are made up or exaggeration of protest protection law.
1:07 what the Massachusetts means by, "We took care of them" is by sending them to military bases and become the governments problem.
And they didn't actually put them on busses. You do know Martha's Vineyard is an island 20 miles offshore, right?
We took care of them for a whole 48 hours, and cried about it.
Because we shouldn’t’ve had to.
And now the governors responsible for this reverse freedom ride (wiki that) have been re-elected.
I sincerely hope Abbott and DeSantis suffer fatal accidents before inauguration.
The whole Illnois thing wouldn't be so bad if they didn't include second-degree murder, kidnapping, robbery, burglary and arson. Partically because of the fact I'm in the state right next door so there's a decent chance someone will try to flee here.
They can still hold you if you're a flight risk probably
@@Kefkaownsall yeah not even then they did not think this through cash bail bad but maybe we get rid of privatized prisons and the problem would solve itself
Which next door?
Amd you think if they could afford bail they aren't more likely to have the money/resources to flee?
@@insertianameia2224 it only takes acess to a vehicle & a few tanks of gas to flee interstate. & bail can be set in the millions of dollars if necessary.
Didn't they call the National Guard on them?
That sounds more like the mob's version of "take care of"
The national guard was called to help get them to Boston where they could get services.
Not going to lie, that's really one of the best uses of the national guard we could ask for. Y'know, instead of being told to arrest or shoot migrants at the border.
The US military are masters of logistics. A humanitarian shitshow like what happened is an objectively good use of that power, like hurricane relief and getting people sheltered from natural disasters. This disaster was man-made.
The National Guard was there - like they are in hurricanes & natural disaster - to provide food & shelter, not murder them. 🙄
Yep they used the guard alright.
And from what I'm aware, they didn't lie to them either. They literally signed consent forms to be shipped to one of the wealthiest parts of the country because.... of course they bloody did lol.
@@PumpkinHoard The problem is it was all under false pretenses. They lied to vulnerable people for a political stunt, anyone who doesn’t see a problem with that I worry about.
Great video.
Great video
ooo liking the font change
been waiting for this
Just going to put this out there, seeing these videos makes me think that the country could be ran better if the governors sat at a round table and discussed what's best for their states while the rest took notes, then let elected leaders dercern which ideas are good and go with them.
Technically that's how our country is supposed to be. The president is supposed to be dude that deals with the annoying Europeans and running the military and Congress is supposed to be the dudes who deal with laws regarding commerce, trade and funding our military while the Judicial dudes deals with keeping those other dudes from causing too much chaos while the Governors and the State legislation deal with literally everything else.
@@OutcastsRedeemer wasn’t it that congress and state legislature were regarded as the most important part of the government with the president being kind of a side character for the first half of US history? I wonder what happened
@@riverstein7251 The issue of slavery and the First American Civil War happened. The founding fathers hopped that the issue of slavery would have been resolved before it caused a division, but the invention of several new agricultural tools making the institution of slavery more profitable made that impossible. Thus it was either the United States break into two nations or the States adhere to a higher authority. Lincoln knew that a divided America was just inviting annoying Europeans to mess around with American affairs and fought to preserve the union to keep that from happening. Had he survived and was able to implement his own vision of a United States chances are we wouldn't be in the political situation we are now but that is the way of the butterfly's wings I guess.
Get outta here with your reasonable and logical ideas! 😏
How...does Cali know what Texas' tindr pictures are..??
I can smell the fanfiction
Know thy enemy.
@@nairsheasterling9457
Right right 'enemy'
He secretly swiped right-
@@under-da-sea2835 And that is perfectly in line with getting to know your enemy.
Example: some antifascist groups send individuals to join neonazi groups and pretend to be nazis, to the point of being pepper sprayed by antifascists at a fascist rally while pretending to be a fascist so they can 'get a look at their books,' so to speak.
Or it's Elon Musk whining about unionization and deciding to move to Texas because the government there hates unions just as badly as he does.
The concept is not hypocritical.
@@nairsheasterling9457 I know, I was just making a gay joke
@@under-da-sea2835 You know what?
It'd piss off Texas. I approve.
i just keep learning more and more about alaska
New York is passed out from overjoyed. Wake at your own peril
Florida is my hero
I call Shenanigans !
Everyone knows that New York never sleeps! 😂 🤣
This was a good one
You're interpretation of Massholes continues to impress
Cali: “Et Tu”, Austin?!
Austin and Cali are fighting? Egads!
Ben, Can you do one about Gov Newsom/California not signing AB 2183 which would keep farm workers safe from intimidation when it comes to voting in union elections?
So, as a Floridian, I would like to ask that our governor gets his own character. Maybe like the federal government but with a red tie and pitchfork?
Me happy u uplaod
Love your video's
Not the Tinder fish pics😂😂😂
