Are We Now Living in 'Mad Max'? | Guest: Chrissie Mayr | Ep 152
Gas and food shortages. A dying economy. International conflict ravaging. No, we’re not talking about the movie "Mad Max." This is America a little over 100 days into the Biden presidency. Comedian Chrissy Mayr joins the show to bring a comical twist to the complete destabilization that we’re currently seeing ravage America.
Live footage is coming in from the East Coast as there are oil shortages due to a key pipeline being shut down.
This is absolutely insane.
There's a war breaking out in the Middle East.
China is gaining influence in our country.
Not to mention food prices are soaring.
We are on the verge of collapse.
But in more important news, I am now a certified fact-checker fighting back against the misinformation of the left.
this and a lot more here on slightly offensive of all the madness going on in the world we know that if we lived our lives in the framework of the left we would think that the biggest threat to america is misinformation and fake news We're all so worried about that.
Who cares what's going on in Gaza?
Those are just rockets and dead people.
Who cares about oil prices?
That's just people needing to get to work.
I'm more worried about the proud boys who are attacking Asian people in black masks, pretending to not be white supremacists.
This is the kind of stuff I'm upset about.
We're going to be talking about all this and a ton of other stuff about the insanity of the world that we're living in.
We're going to hit everything today.
We're going to hit it all.
Literally slap the cheeks of all the information in the world.
And to bring on a professional sleep slapper, a professional fact-checker slut.
I'm going to be with the comedians of the compound May 14th and 15th this weekend at the Big Laugh Comedy Club.
Some tickets are still available.
It's going to be huge, so much fun.
All the fans of Compound Media will be there.
Anthony Kumia, Aaron Berg, Gino Bisconti, myself, Don Jameson, a lot of really funny guys, and me.
And then I'm going to be at the Comedy Cove in Springfield, New Jersey, May 21st and 22nd, and then Hilarities in Cleveland, June 3rd.
So for tickets and details, go to chrissymayer.com and please follow my YouTube channel for Chrissy Mayer podcast and my Instagram, my new Instagram, Chrissy MayerPod, because my first one was nuked.
Yeah, make sure that you follow her on all of her social media.
You can find the links in the description.
So something kind of crazy happened.
I woke up this morning and I saw this tweet from Jack Pasobik of OAN.
And it was really vital and important.
If you can go to my screen here, Savannah, he brought up an article from the New York Times.
And we know the world is falling apart.
And whenever the world is falling apart and it's not getting better, it's usually because there are propagandists and there are people supporting a regime that are spreading the fake information that's keeping the power structure in place.
The New York Times, who was known to push propaganda, even for Hitler himself, said that Colonial Pipeline, which is the pipeline that was attacked, if you don't know, that runs across the East Coast, a vital U.S. fuel artery that was shut down by a cyber attack, said that it hoped to restore most operations by the end of the week.
Since the shutdown, there have been no long lines or major price hikes for gas.
Here's what to know.
So the problem with this is that what I noticed is that I have been receiving dozens of verified reports from journalists that have been telling me that there have been long lines, up to 10 gas stations in the area without gas.
This is a major impact.
By the way, we are now at the highest gas prices in a six-year average.
But it got me thinking, who in this, the right mind is out there, rather than reacting to the left, is actually being a true and bona fide, verified fact checker for them.
And if you had to think of anyone in the world, Chrissy, anyone in the world, I'm going to give you a chance that would step up to the challenge, that would be willing to slap those big, fat, black text facts right across their face, wet and slimy.
And so we're going to debunk some facts and we're going to talk about what's really going on in the world by bringing you the truth, as you always expect.
But before we jump into the story, I want to give a huge shout out to our sponsor for today.
So do you want to find a way to get amazing coffee beans into a cup of coffee and then that cup of coffee into your mouth while also being a badass patriot that supports veterans?
Well, there's not a lot of options because a lot of the companies that claim to be veteran-owned and sponsored really do kind of suck and don't support free speech.
So we got to find the right cup of coffee for you that can do all three of those things, right?
We already have big black facts in your mouth.
What about nice black beans?
Those are nice, round and shaped in your mouth and ground.
If you want to support this amazing company, it's called Bag of Coffee BOC.
If you go to bagofcoffeecompany.com and use code SOB, you can get the rooster, the big cock on the front, which doesn't BOC stands for bag of coffee.
You can get it.
It's a BOC blend and it exists of a blend of Mexican, Ethiopian, and Honduran beans roasted to perfection by award-winning macro roasters in a recycled heat roaster, which you know, if you don't know anything about coffee roasting, that means it's really darn good.
This produces a better, more consistent roast and flavor profile.
And it's also, like I said, veteran-owned.
They feel it's important to offer you a product with integrity.
Every cup is filled with excellence.
It's just, it's better than a nice stiff cup of black coffee.
On that note, before we jump in, welcome back to Slightly Offensive, the best word show on Blaze TV where we give you confetti of color in your mouth all over.
We have Savannah Hernandez, who's also with us today.
And lovely as always.
You can follow her on YouTube as well.
Links in the description and on Instagram.
But we're going to get into this.
I'm your top 17 host.
I never can forget that.
I'm going to make a chart soon and explain what that means with actual paper cutouts.
You can see what it means to be top 17.
But I want to look at this.
So obviously we at this administration, it's not actually funny.
It's sad.
But then it's so sad that it becomes funny.
We want to fact check.
I'm going to give you a chance to live up to your name and to really live the rule, not of a groupie, but of a real fact checker.
Let's look at the administration that's in charge of things.
And maybe this will give some hint as to why we've gotten into the problems that we have, including the first ever like war in the Middle East in the last five years.
Here's Biden's comments when people asked him about his tax hikes.
Most guys do not care when girls carry a little extra weight.
That's also fact-check.
That's also fact-check false.
Guys like something to grab.
But also, fact check, we're going to certify this as fact check false simply based off of my evidence that my W-2s are still taking out massive amounts of taxes every single week.
Fact check false.
We also not only have a president who's out of control, we have a society who, check this out.
Parents have decided that two-year-olds are old enough to decide and understand the complexity of human sexuality, which we're going to figure out if that's true.
Check out these parents.
They're foreigners, which already makes me not trust them.
But on top of that, look at where we've come to as a country.
We're going to find out if these parents are living in the truth or not.

I know he always goes without saying, but it's really true that we absolutely, we adore Stormy.
This is to Andrew Yang, a failed presidential candidate.
You know, he said your brand by frequently doing radio and other appearances with right-wing media personalities at times said that the Democratic Party should gravitate away from identity politics.
You supported automating fast food workers at times.
Why appear on shows like The Dave Rubin Show, who regularly hosts white supremacists?
Dave Rubin, who's going to be on the show on Friday, this is close to my heart.
I got to make sure I'm not having a Nazi on my show.
Okay, so this is a big deal.
Let me give you another chance of redemption.
We're making sure.
From just your understanding of Dave Rubin and your experience, do you believe that he, I don't even read the fact check yet, I'm going to give you a guess.
Do you believe that Dave Rubin has regularly been hosting white supremacists?
It's like how YouTube has just basically journalism students who are, you know, fact-checking CDC facts and who's allowed to say what in regards to COVID-19.
Those are just, you know, random people.
So really anyone can be a fact checker at this point.
New York Times editorial board writer Mera Gay claimed in an interview that the Rubin Report regularly hosts white supremacists after reviewing the catalog of Rubin Report media.
We did not find regular instances of Dave engaging with white supremacists.
So we rated her claim false.
Also, speaking of poor reporting down here, she also claimed the program Dave Rubin hosts is called The Dave Rubin Show.
After researching the basic title of his online programming, we have concluded that the real name of his channel is called The Rubin Report.
We rate this claim mostly false and only mostly because she still got the name Rubin correct, but everything else was wrong.
That's a really hard thing for journalists to do nowadays.
You know, I think we should really, really try to be a lot more understanding of these fact checkers because the internet's really hard to use and it's really hard to find basic facts.
The biggest threat to the existence of humanity is white supremacy, according to every major ugly fat lesbian journalist that sits in their house and pretends to have knowledge about the world.
And I woke up one day and realized I can also be an ugly fat lesbian in my room.
Why risk my life reporting actual facts when I could just take the work of other people and then verify if it's true or not?
New foreign agent filings are finally detailing a massive Beijing propaganda operation that's fueled a six-fold increase in disclosed Chinese foreign influence efforts in the United States.
And why it matters, propaganda is central to China fulfilling its geopolitical aspirations and its efforts to sow discord and disinformation in the U.S. have very real consequences for the American business, political, and social climates.
According to Center for Responsive Politics, Chinese foreign agents spending has skyrocketed from just over 10 million to nearly 64 million last year.
Thanks largely to its stable propaganda operations.
China is now the top spender on foreign influence in America.
So what's interesting is what I realized is that a lot of the publications and people who are fact-checking the right wing have ties to China and they have influence from China.
And I know that has nothing to do with their propaganda or sowing discord or undermining the strength of the American people.
And so me, I've been accused of being a Russian bot.
So I figured I would just bring the Russian balance.
You know, I'd bring a Russian balance to fact-checking.
Didn't disclose close what parties they voted in and just used a poll of 1,800 people in one geopolitical area to decide what the whole country feels about Joe Biden.
So also, there's this new misinformation which we need to fact-check as well, which is this idea about, do you know about this?
Now in Portland, there is this group called the No Hate Zone, which claims that not only is black on black violence the result of white supremacy and therefore white people's fault, which I'd have to say, I agree with.
But they have this new billboard that says racism plus self-hate equals gun violence.
And so they explain that the reason why black people are poor is because of white people and then they hate themselves because white people have devalued them, which is also sounds inherently like a racist idea to assume that black people hate themselves.
And they said that equals gun violence and that if you would, the only way to stop black on black gun violence is to reject oppression.
A lot of people have been saying, I've been reading tweets from verified people about how that most black crimes are probably white supremacists wearing black masks.
And I got to remind you, it's not just dangerous in the world, but it's also dangerous online.
If you're like Chrissy or me, you get deplatformed.
Or if you're like you, you probably do too.
But you know what's even worse is that people steal your information, not just on social media, but on email too, which is why you have to have an encrypted and safe way to store your information, which is why I got to talk to you about startmail.com slash offensive.
Well, StartMail wants to let you know that I know what they know is that services like Gmail and Yahoo are not actually really free.
You're like, why would I get an email service I'd pay for?
Because mine's free.
Well, guess what?
You're paying for your privacy.
And since those companies have access to every email that you send and receive, even those ones you shouldn't be, big tech can sell that data to the highest bidder and use it against you.
Startmail keeps my email private, which is because it's important.
There's certain things you have to keep private, like a big fat fact check, but also too, how about some truth about your life?
What about work and trade secrets, et cetera?
You have to keep these safe.
This is why every email that they have is encrypted, even if the recipient doesn't use encryption, which means that big tech can't read, scan, analyze, or sell any of that personal information ever.
Not even Big Brother can snoop around your email.
StartMail also prevents government agencies from spying on you, like in Dragnet Operations, which is very important.
These people can't even keep a pipeline from being hacked.
I mean, come on, how do they protect your email?
Startmail, when they delete your email or when you delete your email, I should say it actually is deleted.
It doesn't stay in some server where they can sell it later.
It's gone forever.
And they use their own servers, not Amazon.
So you're not going to get, you know, parlored out of existence.
Anyways, I don't trust big tech, and neither should you.
Start securing your email privacy with StartMail.
Sign up today and you'll get 50% off your first year.
Go to startmail.com/slash offensive.
That's S-T-A-R-T-Mail.com slash offensive for 50% off your first year.
That's startmail.com slash offensive for 50% off your first year.
Okay, so let's get into this for a second.
I'm going to jump.
Let me jump ahead here.
So we are in a crisis.
You know, we are in a crisis.
You know that what's going on, the world is insane.
Mike Cernovich wrote this.
There are gas shortages, literally gas shortages happening right now in the USA.
There are shortages everywhere on the East Coast.
We're finding people packing in lines.
They are lining up.
They can't get gas.
We have video here, a verified report from a verified reporter out in Florida of people being unable to get gas.
This is one of the first gas stations, Costco.
And people are saying at the same time, this is during a time when people are making claim that 63% of us are happy with Biden.
I mean, we never saw anything like this in the country during Trump era.
Nope.
But of course, we should blame Trump because when you can't blame white people, blame their leader, Donald Trump.
We should thank Biden, his administration, for not protecting American corporations and really being the most libertarian president possible while also bringing back into vogue things like this.
Because who needs gas when you could, like, who needs that?
Well, like, let's talk about this fact check, the misinformation pipeline.
Okay.
Some people, some people, some people, like Twitter, only the largest news sharing information web start or whatever that's called, sink in the world, made sure that they put this up.
Tim Poole wrote, they said, hashtag gas shortage.
Homeland Security Advisor Elizabeth Sherwood Randall says right now there is not a supply shortage of gas following a ransomware attack on colonial pipelines, which disrupted the flow of nearly half the gasoline and jet fuel supplies to the East Coast.
So they took away half of the supplies of gas, but there's no shortages.
They literally just said there's a shortage, but there's no shortages.
And Twitter is telling you that the video that you're seeing on the screen right here, that this is not a shortage.
This is not happening right now.
These lines, these people trying to wait to get gas, this is not real.
I mean, this is where we're at, is that people are trying to tell you, don't believe your eyes, don't believe the truth.
This is what Mad Max is.
You're living in a great world.
You should be grateful because I gave you water.
And it's like, I know that you're evil.
I know that you're lying.
But of course, the tech companies are combining with the administration to present to us a worldview that is counterproductive and also untrue.
Threads of shortages where you're just finding videos of people just talking about how they're out of gas and they can't like they're literally a sign we are out of fuel.
unidentified
Wow.
But don't believe that because that sign fact checked though?
And it's like, it's like so funny because I read this from Katie Harzog, who's like saying, you know, verified reporter saying, like, this is so bizarre.
I've called 10 gas stations around Asheville and not a single one has gas.
One person laughed at me when I asked and yet nothing on current gas shortages on NPR and most other national news sites.
How is this not the biggest story in the U.S. right now?
So what's interesting is, give me a second, is that as you get through this, there's so much information.
Look, it's crazy.
The cyber attack, it says here on this U.S. pipeline, was carried out by a criminal gang.
Darkseid, a group of veteran cyber criminals, is believed to be behind the ransomware attack on colonial pipeline, the worst cyber attack on critical U.S. infrastructure.
The hackers behind the ransomware attack on a vital U.S. pipeline operator are suspected to be a professional cyber criminal group called Darkseid.
The FBI confirmed on Monday.
I'm not sure.
Do we have the video of Jen Sacchi and them telling us basically that this is a crime?
This is a cyber crime that is carried out on a country's private sector that the FBI is supposed to be monitoring.
But you know what?
I'm glad that this happened because at least they're using their resources to arrest more grandmas who toured the U.S. Capitol because that's a better use of resources.
I would rather put more grandmas away who wandered into the Capitol building than, you know, people have gas to get to work and, you know, see their families.
And more importantly, too, we're seeing all these videos come out from the CIA right now about how inclusive and diverse all of our intelligence agencies are.
So I'm glad that that's what all of our time and money is going to.
Seriously, if you're, if you're the establishment GOP and conservatives, transgender should be our governors too.
Yeah, of course.
Anyway, the FBI is too busy.
So, Jen Sacky let us know, even though this is a national issue that's affecting the people, the good thing is that the federal government literally doesn't give two craps because why should the federal government care what happens to the people of this country?
Listen to this.
unidentified
Has Colonial paid any ransom?
And is there any advice on that?
And then, secondly, is there any timeline for when Americans should be certain that this is going to be taken care of?
People are getting ready.
Memorial Day is not that far away, and everyone's concerned about their gas prices.
What's the timeline on when this thing is going to be under control?
Absolutely.
I'll speak to the first, and then I'll turn it to my colleague Liz for the second.
So, first, we recognize that victims of cyber attacks often face a very difficult situation, and they have to just balance often the cost-benefit when they have no choice with regard to paying a ransom.
Colonial is a private company, and we'll defer information regarding their decision on paying a ransom to them.
Would the administration offer any advice on whether or not to pay a ransom?
So, typically, that is a private sector decision, and the administration has nothing to do with it.
But I'm saying, like, this is my point of like the clown world is everyone's like, there's no shortages.
Nothing's going on.
Everything's okay.
It's a private company.
But nobody takes America seriously anymore.
Like the reality of the matter, why this is so important is that if someone thinks they can just attack a U.S. company and the presidential administration, we are.
And, you know, and this is the key thing that we talked about earlier.
Gas prices are not only now going to go up even higher, they're sparse.
But, you know, the reality, I don't know if I have my fact check.
I think we brought this up.
It's like, this is literally where we're at.
So we started this year with like, we were already at the point where you couldn't travel without showing papers that you were a special group of people.
We're there in the simulation.
And then it was like, we already were there.
And then now we're here, which is like pretty interesting because this was on the 30th.
Yeah, you know, I've needed a computer for like the past year and I just haven't gotten one because it's impossible because graphics cards just aren't being made.
Also, Elijah, too, shortly after this article came out, another article from Wall Street Journal came out saying that bushels of corn are now worth double what they were last year.
I was just at Target and I put up, I said, it was like $40 for four pieces of corn and everyone was like, I'd verified people on the left being like, oh, that's, you're exaggerating.
Like, that's normal for corn prices in this time of the year.
Oh, turns out it's not.
I was like, it shouldn't be over a dollar for a piece of corn.
And here's why it says, and for how long, like, chicken, the fried chicken wars are putting, we're in the, we're there in the simulation, the fried chicken wars?
No, but the thing is, is that the thing is that you actually end up under the table and I'm like normal because I'm like a 220 pound, 6'2 guy that's Irish.
I was thinking that you weren't going to add anything good to this episode, and then you came through last minute.
No, like, really, like, I was just really happy because I was here, like, what does our country need other than like toddlers explaining to us how to fix our problems?
And I want to talk about a few more of these things that are going on here, guys.
We actually got a lot more of the insanity of Mad Max.
But before we go any further, you know, this is Mad Max.
I don't know about you.
Can we get that video up on the screen for a second?
The Mad Max video?
Can we get that on the screen?
So this is where we're at.
You need to protect yourself.
You need to protect your car.
These people are coming for you, realistically speaking, which is why I talked to you about Road Armor.
Guys, it's not just about having a good car.
It's about having a cool car that is ready for whatever situation may arise.
People think about buying guns.
People think about buying armor.
But what about car armor?
These are road wars.
There's fried chicken wars.
Expect the worst, which is why I talk to you about road armor for your car, which is American-made, built on the best quality protection and style.
And it's a Texas company.
So we're proud.
There's absolutely no substitute for road armor bumpers.
These are 100% made here.
Like I said, we are Texas strong and all their products are backed by their lifetime guarantee.
Sometimes people say, How do I know this is a good product for my car?
Well, if they back it for life, they probably believe in it.
So it's probably good enough for you to believe in too.
They also provide, they pride themselves in building bumpers to the highest quality.
They're stylish.
These aren't bulky, ugly things.
These make your car look cool.
So even if you're not, at least you look lame getting out of your car, like your car doesn't.
And they also are practical for all different lifestyles and interests.
They probably support and hire mentors, first responders, and veterans by purchasing their products.
You're supporting life-changing organizations like the American Valor Foundation.
Like, either people are like, either you, either they're like, I love Jews or they're like, I hate Jews.
And you're like, why do you, why do you, someone's going to clip that out watch?
It's like, they're on one end of the spectrum.
And I'm like, hey, it's a country and it's a superpower and they probably do some good things, some bad things.
They probably have some strengths and weaknesses, probably a lot like America.
They're probably meddled in the world.
People are like, you know, the Jews meddle in the world's operations.
like yes have you ever have you heard about this country called america have you ever heard about the united states and they're like oh you know mossad mossad's always up to no good they're like have you ever heard of the cia yeah like like the fbi the irs so it's like people that hate or people are like they're so great they have freedom you're like so do a lot of other countries yeah like i i don't know i don't know what the obsession is i never understood it either i don't know i'm from new york i i there's like lots of jewish people around i don't know i just i never thought it was a big deal Yeah, but people really do.
And they're always looking for you to say the wrong thing about Israel.
Like, if you just say the wrong thing, they'll cancel you.
Like, you know, that's like, it's like, don't say anything wrong about Israel.
It's like, look, man, I don't know what people's obsession is.
But apparently we're all now obsessed with the Jews again.
And they're attacking each other basically over apparently settlement issues.
So I can't get information.
And we bring this up.
The reason why we're talking about them is because it's very hard to understand what's actually happening over there.
Savannah, we were talking about this.
Why?
I mean, it is hard because we don't have the information.
It's always conflicting and it's hard to get truth from that region.
And it's the most serious escalation between the Israelis and Palestinians in many months.
What's interesting is actually, this is actually in many years.
One of the key things I would say, I'm trying to understand why this is happening, is Trump cut off a lot of funding to the Palestinian authorities, which are influenced by Hamas, the Iran-backed terrorist organization.
Biden apparently, allegedly, came in and reinstated funding up to $200 million.
What I am seeing is that Israel may be the reason why the Palestinians allegedly started the conflict.
But I'm seeing this as the same thing as George Floyd, where it's not like George Floyd literally started the race riots.
The race riots were actually organized events that occurred and they used George Floyd as the excuse and the catalyst to wage what they needed before the election to cause the strife.
It's not the settlements that actually caused Hamas to attack Israel.
Hamas wants Israel eradicated from the earth.
They want the country gone as Iran has tweeted out and been allowed to stay up online.
And so it's like they'll use this incident to get people hyped.
And then it's like, what, you think within like eight hours they went and just bought some rockets because of a settlement issue?
No, they had these rockets ready.
They had these rockets positioned.
And then they were like, okay, here's an excuse.
Well, the media will buy it.
They always take the Palestinian side, which is weird because the media is mostly controlled by Jewish, but Jewish-run companies.
I'm coming out in this area of saying, I don't think that Israel is wrong in this situation.
And I know that people, like, I even watched videos, like a lot of people who are like pretty, pretty hardline right were like, oh, look at all these Jews dancing, dancing as the Temple Mountain burns.
And like, that's not what was happening there in that video.
Like, it was Jerusalem Day and like Palestinians apparently launched like a bottle rocket or some sort of a firework at the Jews and then it lit a tree on fire and the mosque wasn't burning and the Temple Mount wasn't on fire and it was already just a celebration.
They continued to celebrate.
Like meaning people are so bent on their weird opinions about the Jews that they can't report facts and we can't get the truth, which is why we need a fact checker, Elijah Schaefer.
But now we're going to start talking about it in an objective way.
And I'm going to say our fact check is that the hardline left and hardline right are too blinded by either their love or their hatred for each group of people that they do not and are unable to rightfully talk about these issues in a way that's respectful.
And also due to the ADL and SPLC who have made any criticisms of Israel or the Jews a sign of anti-Semitism, we are in a stalemate where it's impossible.
And I would say that's my fact check.
It is now impossible to, on a mass scale, get truthful facts about Jews or Israel into the mainstream because everybody is so bad crazy.
Well, listen, we were talking about the fact that we were joking about how one day it's going to become offensive to just straight up talk about medical size of people.
And we called him a person of size or a large-sized man.
Now, Los Angeles Times actually came out with an article saying that it's fat shaming, BMI, and alienation.
COVID-19 brought a new stigma to large-sized people.
And they actually use the phrase people of size.
And so what's crazy is we've become predictors on the show of where culture's headed.
And apparently she eats well and doesn't watch her budget because you guys support us at blazetv.com slash Elijah.
Help us to fight that censorship.
I really appreciate it.
From the bottom of my heart, you can take that off the screen.
I want to let you know that it's been a very hard year, not only for myself, not only for the country, but it's going to be a lot of years ahead.
We are in this together.
We love you.
We love to make laughs of very dark situations.
Sometimes it's hard to laugh, but we continue to do it anyways.
Thanks to you guys and your support for the show.
And we won't stop.
And to let you guys know, I'm also getting some, there's a big project that's in the works that you're going to get a lot more of Elijah on TV and stuff very soon because God has been good and we got big offers.
You can get more of Chrissy Mayer and Savannah on their YouTube channels.
Please subscribe and show them some slightly offensive love.
My name is Elijah Schaefer, your top 17 host here on the Best War Show on Blaze TV.
Have a great rest of the week and may God bless the United States of America.
