A Nostalgic Surprise: JFK's Rare Speech Clip
In a special treat for history buffs, we've unearthed a rare gem—a two-minute clip of President John F. Kennedy from July 1962, delivering a speech. It's not just a piece of history; it's a reminder of the power of words and leadership. So, stay tuned for an extraordinary journey back in time.
Unraveling the McDonald's Price Mystery
The big question on everyone's mind: Why has McDonald's jacked up the prices of their "culinary masterpieces"? After some deep thought and rejecting the usual explanations of supply and demand, I've uncovered the real reason—and it's tied to the ancient roots of capitalism itself. Did you know McDonald's is more a real estate mogul than a fast-food chain? Yes, it's all about pocketing billions and keeping up with the Joneses. But fear not, I've got a plan that might just involve the Supreme Court and could change the game for burger prices nationwide.
A Call to Action: The Right to Fairly Priced Burgers
Inspired by a powerful quote from JFK, this episode isn't just for laughs. It's a call to action for every American who believes in the right to access fairly priced burgers. It's about asserting our rights, for us and future generations, to enjoy fast food without breaking the bank. Let's stand together, collect those signatures, and make our voices heard.

00:02 [Music] hey folks it's Friday so you're either listening to this before work or after work but I want to forewarn you that it can have two different effects if before work there is a good possibility it'll make you laugh or you can listen after work and with the assistance of your favorite adult beverage you may end up laughing a lot more matter of fact since it is in fact Friday you may want to invite the neighbors over to hear this so they too can have a laugh hey who the hell needs
a speech sometime in July of:01:52 History you've probably never heard before by now just about everybody in America knows it McDonald's has significantly raised its prices on just about all of its culinary masterpieces so I'm asking myself what any other American confronted with such an apocryphal event would be asking why in the hell are they making the prices on their burgers so damn high after much thought and deeply considering all the possibilities I not only came up with the most likely reason but also the obvious and probably most effective
02:36 solution you see I'm well aware that I am certainly not the only person asking this question but because I tend to be a bit more tenacious I'm not falling for the old supply and demand free market or the Invisible Hand of the market was in Capricorn when it needed to be in Pisces and therefore because they were not properly in astrological alignment there was the unfortunate yet inevitable consequence of a significant rise in the price of the damn burgers nope old Earnest ain't swallowing that very old school jack off jism for a
03:25 minute the true answer to that question is as old as capital ISM itself the rich people who manage and own the real estate company yes whether you know it or not McDonald's is actually a real estate company that happens to sell fast food it's true you could look it up desire a few more billion dollars in their pockets so they're doing what all rich people do keeping up with the Joneses as the old saying goes and and they'll they'll get it they'll get every dime because they have many of us
04:06 addicted they've got us by the balls and they know it but I do have a plan and now I'm telling you guys about it because although this may surprise you it involves the Supreme Court and while this doesn't require an act of the Supreme Court using Tu budy to build build your YouTube channel is a very good judgment if you're a new YouTuber or you've been doing this for a while but haven't heard of them tube budy has just about everything you need to help your channel grow and the two great things
04:48 about it is first it's extremely simple and intuitive to use and second they're offering a really special sweet deal for using my affiliate Tu buddy Link in the description below I think it's a really sweet deal on an excellent YouTube growth service and if you're not totally happy with two buddy you can kick my ass well not literally it's a figure of speech but I Ed two buddy and I think it's great and you have nothing to lose so give it a try you'll be glad you did now back to the
05:32 show now many of you people may not know this but if a company or Corporation even if working completely independently or In Cahoots with many other big companies who basically are in the same general field of endeavor and if that company or Corporation not only very self-evidently such as as is definitely the case here makes business decisions that dramatically affect product availability such as a tremendous increase in price for the sole purpose of personal profit or gain all the while denying or protesting that accusation
06:22 claiming that the price increases were simply a matter of Market forces beyond their control are subject to have a case filed against them with the Supreme Court and in this particular case the Supreme Court does not even have the choice of refusing not to make judgment on the case for acts of economic irresponsibility or treason this is something which is actually on the books folks and it is not an ancient or obscure set of laws the primary requirement would be gathering of the signatures required to make this a reality and if my memory
07:12 serves there is only a requirement of 30,000 signatures which is really not that many for a nation of almost 400 million now I can't go into all the details concerning the technical aspects of this as it's beyond the scope of this episode but do not forget what I'm telling you and please contact me for further information or if you want me to do a follow-up episode but what I certainly can tell you without any hesitation at all is that prices of our Burgers regardless of the corporate chain which is producing
John F Kennedy who in July of:08:52 of tyranny that I submit to all Americans the following statement which I feel stands in the hearts and minds of all my fellow Americans who demand not only access of opportunity as a basic human right but access to something that is such an integral part of being an American that it is not to be infringed upon in any way whatsoever but universally recognized as the spiritual historical and cultur natural Bedrock of American society the burger it is the obligation of every American citizen to understand that it
09:41 is a basic human need and right to not only have our Burgers priced appropriately for the average American but it is our duty As Americans to do so we do this that and the other not because it is easy but because it is God and with this responsibility also comes our right to have appropriately priced fast food meals not only for our children but for our children's children and that are right for an appropriately priced Burger combo or child's Happy Meal shall not be infringed upon at any time nor for any
10:28 reason nor enem foreign or domestic to ever make such affordable Burgers vanish from the face of this Earth or from these United States of America wow that was truly moving folks if only we had a president capable of giving a speech like that today until next month Monday or Friday this is earnest wishing you peace and good things
