Pete Hegseth Is Finally Going to Make the US Military Less Woke
Added 2024-12-18 10:48:40 +0000 UTCOA1101 - You know... that super woke institution... the US Military... well, NO LONGER! Trump's man for the job is a real piece of work. And if you don't believe us, take it from his own mom. As usual, Lydia gives us the doozy breakdown, and also how Hegseth fits right into the Project 2025 design.
Then, it's T3BE 52!

Woo, I got my new patron shout out! I believe the answer is A. On Law & Order (my source for all accurate info on the law 🙂), the cops would have to convince someone to come out on the stoop before they could arrest 'em. So I think *just* an arrest warrant doesn't allow cops to enter someone's home to arrest them. They'd need a search warrant or exigent circumstances ( "get down there drugs!" Lol) in order to enter. B is my second chance guess though. By the way, I love this game! My sister turned me on to the show, so we play along and share our guesses and reasoning with each other every week.

2024-12-22 01:52:36 +0000 UTCThe answer is D. A valid arrest warrant gives the police the right to arrest someone and enter a place where they would reasonably expect that person to be. C is not correct because the warrant does not give the police the blanket ability to enter Delilah's house. They can only enter at a time they reasonably expect her to be there. I don't think Paul can search the house outside of Delilah's immediate, open vicinity, which is why he wanted to show up before she could hide the drugs. I should put something funny here to increase the chance my answer is selected.

2024-12-20 00:58:36 +0000 UTCI reckon it's B. Fourth Amendment, search and seizure and all that jazz. I've got the last one or two wrong, but I have to have a Christmas-y attempt this week... === 'Twas the night of the bust, and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Officer Paul, with warrant in hand, Went to nab poor Delilah with drugs in her hand. He knew she'd be home, from her workday's long grind, Hoping to catch her before she could find A place to conceal her illicit supply, So he crept to her door with a vigilant eye. The door was ajar, a most tempting invite, He rushed inside quickly with all of his might. No knock at the door nor announcement so clear, Just a silent intrusion, fueled by his fear. He stalked through the house, with steps soft and low, Towards the back bedroom, where he thought she would go. He heard a slight rustle, a whisper, a sigh, Then burst through the door, with a thunderous cry: "Freeze!" he commanded, his voice sharp and loud, As Delilah stood startled, amidst the drug cloud. But the warrant alone was lacking, you see: As the Fourth Amendment protects you and me. He'd skipped "knock and announce"; a procedural flaw, Ignoring the rules - and breaking the law. So "B" is the answer, as clear as can be, No knock, no announcement, a faulty entry. The warrant was valid, the timing was keen, But when Paul didn't knock, the scene was unclean. So remember this lesson: when the law is applied, Knock and announce - or your entry's denied.

2024-12-19 14:45:38 +0000 UTCThomas nailed it! B is the answer, and the question deliberately omits any mention of suppressing evidence because that's not available for a violation of the knock-and-announcd rule.

2024-12-19 13:13:51 +0000 UTCWhile I love the podcast and thought this episode overall was great, I have two complaints. 1) When you are playing a clip (as you did of Hegseth in this episode), please don't comment, laugh, or talk over the clip. It makes it hard to hear the clip. Presumably, you play it so people can hear it, and talking over it defeats the purpose. You might as well not play it. Go ahead and interrupt the clip, say the comment, and then start the clip again, but please don't talk over it. That may make it harder to edit, but that's what we pay you the big bucks for. (This is an issue with all of Thomas's podcasts, not just this one.) 2) When going over the answers to T3BE, please read the multiple choice answers. I don't remember what they were from the week prior, and I think a lot of others are in the same boat. This week, you did read two of the answers, but I have no idea what the other two were. Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing. It's great!

2024-12-18 19:11:19 +0000 UTCAh, yes, the convenient and helpfully unproveable religious transformation! Just like any number of crooks, who 'find god' in prison and quite by accident discover it can lead to them being given some sort of credit or privileges by the authorities. Not to mention that it allows them to dismiss any skeptics as 'disrespectful' of their religious faith. FFS.

2024-12-18 18:53:38 +0000 UTCI thought there was something about no-knock warrants being legal if there was reasonable belief that evidence would be destroyed if the cops had to announce themselves. However, neither of the yes answers have anything to do with that, so I'm going with B. I think Paul is allowed to enter the home if he has a reasonable belief that she will be there, but he can't just barge in unannounced. I believe C and D are factually correct, but they leave out the context of the slow, sneaky entry. Sneaky Paul, what a creep.

2024-12-18 18:38:43 +0000 UTCRight?! Referring to "the sheep who go along" with their orders makes me think this guy *really* doesn't get what it means to serve in the military. Or the meaning of "serve" period.

2024-12-18 17:50:26 +0000 UTCI feel like between the call for Patron engagement with the Bar and being a Paul, I have to take a swing this week. I have to go with B, as I’m pretty sure the cops can’t just go into someone’s home without making an effort to announce their presence (yet). I really hope I’m right for basic human rights.

2024-12-18 17:05:47 +0000 UTCI think D is wrong because I understood the question to be saying Paul went to Delilah's home when he thought she WOULDN'T be home so that he could get there before she had the chance to hide stuff. I think I'm going with B because this warrant is not not not a no-knock warrant.

2024-12-18 15:01:43 +0000 UTCThe U.S. Army has over 200 active duty general officers, not including retired generals. But yeah, let's go w the drunken rapist guardsman.

2024-12-18 13:45:34 +0000 UTCEven if everything Pete Hegseth’s mommy says about him now is true, even if he truly is a “changed” man, he still has ZERO qualifications to be SECDEF.
