Fear and Sheriffs in Las Vegas feat. David Gilbert (E276)

Absolutely gutted to learn that 'constitutional sheriff' wasn't an insane made up fictional Fargo season 5 idea like I thought it was 🥲

Remember Cliven Bundy and his violent family and followers? They’re all about crazy shit like this. About 15 years ago, they emerged from somewhere in Idaho to express their feelings about the evil government…by invading a local federal bird sanctuary! And a nearby Native American burial ground. These pinhead patriots found a tractor on the site and of course destroyed those burial grounds, along with fences, buildings, and computers. Being who they are they were naturally well-infiltrated by a few different federal agencies, the same people that, when the competing conspiracy nuts started infighting and getting itchy with their guns, prevented a circular firing-squad. After a few months of pointless and illegal antics and making the lives of the local rural community miserable, and showed no signs of leaving. Finally, they were lured into a roadblock where some old dude with a giant cowboy hat decided to try his a quick-draw with an FBI agent. What happened? What usually happens when a deluded amateur goes up against a pro. (They donated his hat to his grandchildren.) The Bundy’s are still out there. From that strain of American culture come Randy Weaver, David Koresh, the monster McVeigh, the oath keepers, proud boys, extremist christian preachers and congregations, militias, and a bunch of people who all insist on telling us how patriotic they, and only they, are.

I live in Klickitat Co Washington and Bob Songer has been a problem for a long time here. His posse’s most recent antics have been killing dozen of mountain lions in the area. It’s at the point where locals have stopped sharing information about where cougars have been spotted to prevent his gang from killing them. He also doesn’t enforce state firearms laws and didn’t recognize any COVID regulations or mask mandates. Half the county is very conservative and I doubt he’ll be voted out before he retires or passes.

I don't know why Jake struggles with the essential notion that what constitutes a white person is very elastic in the minds of the right. That Chinese guy basically got onto the stage and went 'Hey, I'm white to you guys, right? I'm here being racist with you so that means I'm part of the gang, aren't I?' Sadly a great many second/third gen ethnic minorities have that mentality - the way they feel fully secure in themselves is joining law enforcement and brutalising the self-same people who were their parents 30 years ago.

I dig the new music, I do. That being said, old music is iconic. And I miss the Flynn apology for discovering the internet. Mayeb... bring it back? On occasion? Good day

Studiants taking advantage of buying things in bulk. Right wingers: this is a George Soros funded protest. This is really the worse timeline.

BmW dRiVeRs ArE bAd.

Not much can disturb me these days, but I'm genuinely shaken that the med-beds are not just some fringe grift but are actively being embraced... We truly are in Wonderland now.

Wait, isn't George Soros usually part of the Jewish conspiracy? So the Jewish conspiracy is funding the pro-palestine protests? Wouldn't that mean the protests are a "psy-op" designed to discredit pro-Palestinian activists? I'm sooo confused.

Funny these larpers don't even create any further details for their paranoid larp, not even detailed plans for the "training" they would suggest

There's a party in my Posse, and everyone's coming

I like that David specifies that he spoke to Mike Lindell "at length" - has ANYONE ever spoken to Mike "briefly"? Lol, you could say Hi to him in the hall and he'd go "LISTEN I TELL YA WHAT-" and you're there for 20 minutes.

I’m kind of at a loss for what to do about this as a tax paying citizen of nyc. Eric Adams is horrible but this is bad even for him.

Please do an episode on the psychopath dog killer Kristi noem

Is there gonna be an episode on Project 2025 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

49 dollars for 3 meals and 11 hours of entertainment.. can't beat it

Is this another case of movie brain, cause it sounds like all these guys are pretending to be Steven Seagal characters.

I’m gonna tell these losers that I’m a constitutional coroner, and that one of my lesser-known powers is that I’m the one who can arrest the constitutional sheriff.

Posse in bio

Fear and Sheriff u like dis epi

someone please write a comedy sketch where a Constitutional Sheriff pulls a Sovereign Citizen over

Jake is right these guys should just play red dead and save us all the hassle

Loved this as focus of lastest fargo season

The Constitutional Sheriff's are just one symptom of the disease infecting rural America. I live much of the year in a very rural county. Since the election of Obama I've watched in laughter and horror as the number of nuts, cranks, militias, Qbrains, crackpots, insurrectionists, and conspiracy theorists have multiplied in the county. The result has been political and social chaos. One example is normal, stable people having been leaving, resulting in falling home values, business closings and government paralysis. We all laugh ( with good reason) at the attendees of the Constitutional Sheriff convention, but it's not funny when your neighbor is a militia member who likes to get drunk and shot beer cans with a AK47 at 2AM, and your veterinarian happens to mention she thinks all "city people " should be euthanized.

Great episode! The Constitutional Sheriffs are disturbing, but if you beneath the surface it gets even darker. The movement rhymes a great deal with the historic Posse Comitatus movement- a proto sovereign citizen group (y'all do a good episode about sovereign citizens which mentions the PC with Allie Mezzie) which counted Gordon Kahl and Randy Weaver among its members. The core idea of the PC was exactly what the Constitutional Sheriffs claim, namely that sheriff's enjoy a unilateral right to interpret the constitution and only enforce laws that their county residents approve of. PC activists expand this belief to include a wider, militant opposition to the authority of the federal governement- an opposition which encompasses everything from the civil rights act, federal income tax, tax with holding, and gun control. Many PC activists also espoused a much wider range of conspiracy theories (many of which were openly antisemitic, racialist, and isolationist.)

Completely shook that the sheriff of the town I live in, Bob Songer, is one of the featured speakers at this batshit convention

“A sheriff, a felon and a conspiracy theorist walk into a bar, bartender asks ‘so what’ll you have Mr Arpaio?’”

Been a member since May of 2020 and y’all have never disappointed thanks so much for all the info and entertainment

Really feels like you guys have leveled up after the rebrand ♥️

You guys are on fire!
