What's up everybody? This is the Objective. Jerk, I'm Sid Jerk. How's everybody doing? Hope everybody is doing great. What kind of honey do's or tasks or chores you got going on? For me it's kind of fixing um beds, some beds.
Speaker 1:So I have a bedroom set that's like from the early eighties. That was my grandparents, that I, you know. Over the years and after, you know, family deaths and stuff has I acquired, right, so it's old school but I like it. You know family deaths and stuff has I acquired, right, so it's old school but I like it, you know, because it's sentimental value. But the original system that it had, you know, you got the headboard and the footboard and then you have the rails on the side. Well, they were not that great, they got wore out over time and so it's like the headboard and everything would kind of move around. You know, I've been always trying to make it more solid. I did some other things, whatever this and that, but the I took both. So there's that bedroom set and then I have the bedroom set that my dad left me, which is kind of the same, it's just newer. You know, not really my style, but sentimental value, um, but they're all you know, they're all like oak and they're wood, you know. Um, my dad's is in much better shape. My grandparents bedroom set got a little beat up on the trip over here. That's's a whole other story.
Speaker 1:But I've at various times, because of just trying to kind of, I don't know, move things or change things in the house or whatever, I took the headboards and the footboards off the beds and I put them away, right. So we just had the mattresses, you know temporarily or whatever. And and then I had the. The sideboards were up against the wall, but the sideboards are made out of a different wood, so the sideboards got eaten by termites, because termites here are horrible, man, they get into everything, well, everything that they can eat anyway. And so they totally like I went out there and I went to grab one and it just like crumbled in my hand. I was like what the hell? So I had to, you know, remake them or figure out something else. So so I, I, about two months ago I worked on my son's which was my grandparents a queen size bedroom set and I bought some angle iron you know it's like the L shape steel and I just welded it to some you know smaller angle iron and then bolted the ends into the headboard and the footboard, and then, you know, that's how I put his bed together and it worked out really well. It's really sturdy, um, so I'm like, okay, I'm gonna have to do the same thing for my bed. So that is my to-do list. Or my honey, do that.
Speaker 1:I got going on right now, um, but as I'm prepping cutting and prepping the angle iron to get welded, you know I'm pre-drilling the holes that I'm going to have to use to and and filing and you know all that kind of crap. Um, but I don't have a decent drill bit for the size I need. Like, I have a good one that's drilling right through them, but it's too small and the screws here in the Philippines are trash. They all break, they all shatter. It's so annoying. You know you buy, you can buy some screws. Yeah, there's cheap screws, but for the most part you have a decent screw and then you can pay a little extra for some really good screws in the States, right, but you know I was I've talked about it before. You know I'm used to being in the States and driving screws into wood and the only time you need to pre-drill is if you don't want to split the wood, but here you have to. You have to pre-drill, otherwise the screw head is going to rip off. You know, it's happened so many times. So I'm slowly building the habit of, you know, and it's just a bunch of different things. The culture shock and that's one of them is just things, the materials and how things are done here is just different.
Speaker 1:You know I hate dealing with concrete. I understand why everything is concrete, but it kind of sucks at the same time. Understand why everything is concrete, but it kind of sucks at the same time. But so I have, um, some cordless you know drills. I was able to drill the, the holes I needed for the smaller gauge, but I'm like, okay, I gotta get them, I gotta make it a little bigger, so there's room for that, that lag bolt, lag screw to get in there. And the drill bit I have I must have used it on something else and it's just, it's just not cutting through at all. So it's like I gotta buy another drill bit just for that plus.
Speaker 1:Um, I was trying to pull out my corded drill, which is like a hammer drill that I bought here and that's the one I use for when I'm drilling concrete. But I was like maybe you know if I have that drill bit's the one I use for when I'm drilling concrete. But I was like maybe you know if I have that drill bit on this, because I was sitting there using it and my batteries were going dying on me on the drill, you know. So I was like recharging one of the batteries I think is going out on my cordless drills. I bought like a new charger, because the old charger they're Milwaukee's but I've had them for six, seven years now and they get used quite a bit and I think I need to order some new batteries. Really is what I gotta do.
Speaker 1:But, um, so I'm like, okay, I'm gonna get my drill, but then there's, I left a concrete drill bit in it and I cannot get it. I can't take it out because I don't have the chuck key. So I was trying to use my you know, figuring out ways to loosen the chuck. Can't do it. I need the key. But I don't have a key because I lend someone my drill and was actually a contractor. Use my drill and my, my wife's, cousin's drill and and they switched the the the chuck keys Cause when I got mine back and I went to go use it, the chuck key is too small. I'm like what the crap? So I'm like, oh, it must be for for Ryan. So I'm like, hey, this is your, your truck key. But he didn't have mine. So I'm like what the hell? So they lost my truck key and that's kind of.
Speaker 1:That's one of the one of the, the um, you know what's it called when stuff irritates you. Um, that's one of the oh, my gosh, what is it? When something irritates you? There's like little things that everybody has that irritates them. I can't think of the term right now. Dude, what is my problem? You think with all the coffee I drink, I could figure out how to talk. It's one of my oh, that drives me crazy. That's a. That's a something, something of mine. That's a. I'll think of it as soon as I'm done recording. It always happens Pet peeve, yes, got it happens. Pet peeve, yes, got it. Okay, pet peeve. So here and again. You know it's not like America is perfect and every American knows how to do whatever.
Speaker 1:From my personal experience, when I have lended a tool or borrowed a tool in the States, those tools are taken care of. So if somebody borrowed my tool, they would treat it as their own, almost to the point, almost too much, because they kept it for so long. Right, but they took care of it. Yeah, maybe they held on to it for six months and you're like, what did I do with the? Can't remember, oh, that's right, I lent it to so and so. Well, maybe they held on to it for six months and you're like, what did I do with it? I can't remember. Oh, that's right, I lent it to so-and-so. Well, you go over there and get it. Oh, yeah, here it is Sorry, but it's in good shape.
Speaker 1:You know, here, when people borrow someone else's tool, they's broken, something was damaged and they fixed it Like it's just like what. Every time, every time cords are cut and taped, chuck, keys are missing, things are just, it's just. Every time they just they don't know how to treat other people's tools. And it's insane how you hire a contractor but they don't have any tools. They're always using your tools. So they're not really a contractor in my eyes.
Speaker 1:But so, after the last thing that we had done, I'm just like you know what? No one, I'm not lending my tools out anymore, I'm done. I'm done. Even the people that I'm just I can't do anymore because they all get jacked up. Even if we hire a contractor because, you know, we want to do further improvements on the house and the property I told my wife I don't want to hire anybody unless they are an actual contractor and they have tools. I don't want them borrowing my tools. It's so annoying. But yeah, so it's kind of annoying. So as soon as I get done recording this, I'm gonna run the hardware store and hopefully they have chuck keys. They probably don't. That's what sucks.
Speaker 1:There's like 10 hardware stores in the little town that I live in so many people, but they all have the same 10 things. You know what I mean? They all sell the same shit. Nobody tries to like. You know what, I'm gonna be the only one that has this, or so it's kind of annoying. They all have tile, they all have the same cheap tools. They all. You know it's like the same, all the same things for the most part. So watch all, all, all.
Speaker 1:Like yesterday, actually, I bought um, what did I get on the lag screws that I'm using? So I went and bought some lag screws and I was like, oh, wd-40, I always need some of that. And then I was looking for some grease. Right, I was like I need grease for a grease gun or just like a you know can of grease or something. And they're like huh, and they go over and they get me like this little rinky dink grease gun. I'm like no, I have the grease gun, I need the grease. Oh no, we don't have that. Like, how do you not have grease? You know, this is stuff like that.
Speaker 1:So I'm assuming I'm gonna go to the hardware store looking for a chuck key and they're not gonna have it. I'm gonna have to go to the bigger main, you know, uh, not the ma and pa hardware store, but like the Lowe's type store, because they do have a hardware store here. That's you know a big conglomerate, whatever. They're all over I guess, but it's, you know, the Philippine version of Lowe's or you know Home Depot or whatever. And that's too far. It's not really that far of a drive, but the way they drive here and the traffic it makes it seem like it's really far Distance. Not really that far of a drive, but the way they drive here in the traffic it makes it seem like it's really far distance. Wise, it's not, but add in all the retards on the road and it's like three times as long. So I hate going if I don't have to anyway. So hopefully I'll just I'll just have to end up getting a drill bit. I guess it'll work, but but get that done and move on to the next thing. I guess that's what I got going on, but I just spent 13 minutes talking about drill bits and shit.
Speaker 1:Now, the whole reason that I wanted to record this was the crash. You know the last podcast I did. I briefly talked about it based off the information that was available at the time and it was kind of like it was looking like the traffic control kind of dropped the ball a little bit, you know. But as more information comes out and more evidence comes out, it is appearing that although traffic controller were, um, like somebody had left, I guess, and they got, you know whoever was there was probably a little overwhelmed. He did not, or she did not, drop the ball.
Speaker 1:Um, it turns out it was the helicopter pilot, the army Blackhawk helicopter pilot, right? So let's see how am I going to break this down, right? So it's, you know, there's a cover-up going on when information is withheld. For days, everybody knew almost everybody involved in the crash, except for the pilot of the helicopter. They did not release her information for like four days, right, finally her information comes out, but now all her social media and everything is just gone, because that's what they were doing for the four days they were scrubbing and you'd think, like, okay, so why is that? Why would you have to scrub this person's information?
Speaker 1:A lot of people are saying, oh, she was a DE DI hire, you know, blah, blah, blah, and I, yeah, I think that's kind of true. Well, let's see. So this individual I don't have her name Um, I guess, maybe I wrote down some bullet points for what I was going to talk about, but I kind of went off. I didn't read them. So I guess I could look her up real quick, but anyway, so the helicopter pilot was an aide to the Biden administration. Like there's pictures of her at the white house with different people. She was like a social media individual for the white house, which is like okay, so if she's a social media individual and now there's no social media of her, you know, like, does that make sense? Um, so there's no evidence, but it's obvious that she was, um, you know, probably anti-Trump right Now, which that doesn't really mean anything either, right, but she. But she, she was a female, she was gay, she was young well, not too young, I don't think. But and then you know she was working for the Biden administration and then, but she was also in. You know, she was military, military, and she used to do some training when she could. But now that the Biden administration is over, that job is done, she goes back to the Army and she starts to train for her job as a warrant officer, a pilot, right, and then this crash happens and everybody's trying to figure out what happened, what went wrong.
Speaker 1:On a side note, I'm really really tired of the left. Oh, you know, when people point out these inconsistencies, or you know what's going on this, and that they sit there and that's not important right now. What's important is saving lives. Well, it's like. Well, everybody's dead. So, you know, just like with the fires and everything, they're like, it's like OK, yeah, people are. We need to worry about that. But we also need to worry about what went wrong. You know it's like there. You can't ever, you can't ever criticize and be like dude, you screwed up. This is what you should have done. You know there is, I don't know it's and it's not even. It's not even in politics. It's everything, man, I have to. I'm beating a dead horse here, but it's just kind of annoying, you know.
Speaker 1:And then so they wait four days and then finally they release who she was, and then you find out, and then you just can't find anything on social media about her. Now isn't that kind of weird like why, why would they scrub all her stuff? What are they trying to hide? Are they trying to hide that she was di hire? I mean, that's kind of obvious, but what would that really matter her? What I think it is is she. If you watch, with all the stuff they have now, the black box from the plane and all the information they have up to this point, except for they don't know what happened in the black hawk. There was other people on there. There's no um transcripts from what they were saying or doing or whatever. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:So again, withholding, it's like all these people, the the last few remaining people of the biden administration are, and they're gonna. They don't have a job. They're probably like, well, I'm getting fired anyway, so they're trying to whatever. But I don't think that they're trying to like cover up a DEI, whatever. I think they're trying to cover up that she's basically a domestic terrorist. I think they're trying to cover up the fact that she was mentally deranged and she got in the army, got her job even though they probably saw derangement in there, like 10 years ago she wouldn't have been able to be accepted in the military, or I mean less during war, obviously or, uh, as a pilot. And then she got in with the Biden administration, so she had all these successes right, and then now, all of a sudden, she's a terrorist because she I think she purposely flew that helicopter into the plane.
Speaker 1:Now, does she do it all by herself? Or were the other people involved too? I don't know, but she, you know, there's just too many, too many things going on for it to be just an accident. You know, if she was, she just happened to be too high. Okay, she was above her, the, the tree line or the, the, what do they call it? The? Um, uh, what do they call it? The? What do they call it? You know, they have certain they can't be above a certain height or below, anyway. So she was like way above how high she's supposed to be flying, and plus, they were like over a mile off of where they were supposed to be, off of where they were supposed to be, and even though it was nighttime and things were still difficult, the way the helicopter just went right. You know what I mean? It's just she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, you know.
Speaker 1:You have I mean, there's still some weird things with the Tesla truck, I don't know but then you have the other guy in New Orleans and it's just starting to find a lot of military individuals that were easily brainwashed and manipulated, weak-minded, committing these atrocities right, and I think she's one of them. I think it's going to come eventually. We're probably not going to know now because they won't admit crap, but I think you know, yeah, she was a DEI hire, but I don't think that's what caused the problem. It wasn't because she was gay, it wasn't because she was a woman or that she wasn't capable of. I've known plenty of females in the military that were bad-ass, um, and some of those were gay too, pretty sure. But it's because that she, you know it's an act of terrorism and that's what they're trying to cover up. They don't want it out that the Biden administration had, you know, had someone on there at the white house and their military and everybody underneath them at that time had this individual, and then she turned around and, you know, did what she did. That's what they're trying to cover up, I think.
Speaker 1:But then the thing is that it's like why, what? What do they think is going to happen? Though, though, like what, I don't know, is anybody else just tired of you know, and that's the thing too is like it's so nice having Trump, having a president that makes public appearances pretty much daily, pretty much daily and a lot more transparency with with, uh, his administration and everything so far. I mean biden, you never saw that dude, never. And same with with, even during the campaign trail with harris, you never saw her, she never spoke, she never did nothing unless it was scripted and everything, and there's all kinds of rules and regulations. You never.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean, and so it's just, it's kind of it's it's nice having a little more transparency, which is you, I don't know, you wouldn't think this, like you know, 10, 15 years ago, but that's kind of the thing, though, from the left, you know the woke, the DEI, all that kind of crap that they push so hard for it's coming back at them or coming back on them and they're trying to cover it up, because you can't hire people based off their race or gender and all that kind of. You have to hire on their qualifications and they decided not to do that. So now all this crap's going on and they're trying to cover it up. And that's the same thing with, like you know. So you have this, you have the military, you have in politics, you have it in Hollywood, you have it in the music industry. You know what I mean. You have these people that are failing but they're being pushed forward, but they're failing, and then when you criticize it, you're evil and you're whatever. You know, it's just we, basically the losers in high school, are running the country. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like I'm not saying I was like a jock superstar, whatever this, and that I was a nobody really. I didn't, you know. I mean I was friendly and that I was a nobody really, I didn't, you know. I mean I was friendly towards everybody, you know. But I'm not much of a people person, so I didn't do much curricular activities outside of school, but you know, I remember seeing who was popular and who were involved in stuff and who were successful in school and who were complete jackasses and losers and stuff.
Speaker 1:You know, and I guess now, when you see, you know, it's the whole participation trophy generation and just, oh, you can do it, oh, you're good, and it's like, well, you know, yeah, it's good to praise people, but people need to know if they screwed up, how they screwed up, how they can make it better. You know, and so we have that whole mindset of people that are just failing at their job. They're probably good at something, it's not what. What they have, it's not as prominent or as important as whatever you know I mean. So it's like, oh, I can do this and and they're failing. Oh, what, you're calling me out, you're a homophobe, or you know. It's like no, it's because you suck.
Speaker 1:The same thing with, like harris, like they're trying to blame everybody for her failing at her campaign, which, yeah, I mean she had campaign managers and all that kind of stuff, but ultimately she was shit, she was stupid, she couldn't format, format, formulate. Here I'm all talking, shit about her talking, but hey, I'm not running for president, so um, but she just, you know, you see the edited video of her interviews and then the ones that originally her answers, and you just see what a complete horrible pick she was. And she wasn't even voted. She was picked, you know, and of that's not the reason that she didn't win, it's just they don't, I don't know, and they're just. I mean, I guess you got to give it to them, dude, they're going to die on that hill, right, they are just not letting up.
Speaker 1:The Democrat Party is in shambles, man, they are. So I've said it before, they're gonna be there's. They're done, they are done. They're gonna have to create a new party. Somebody's gonna. Some democrats are gonna, some that have some sort of brain, that are smart, that are not woke but are democrat, are gonna start a new party and distance themselves from the current Democrat party. And the Democrats will, probably. They won't go away. But and then after this other party wins and is doing good or whatever, and then maybe they'll kind of come I don't know who knows, but Democrats as they are now, they're just done. It's, you know, it's just like Bud Light or whatever kind of. They got to rebrand themselves, but anyway, that's all. More cover-up, more bullshit. Anyway, thanks for hanging out. Appreciate your time, god bless, and I'll see you next time. All right, bye.
