Hi everybody, it's James here. If you didn't listen to What Could Happen Here, you might not recognise me. My name's James Stout and I'm the guy who pops onto this feed every few months to tell you something very sad and then ask for your money. And that's why I'm here today. A terrible earthquake struck Myanmar today, the day I'm recording this, which is Friday the 28th of March. It was 7.7 on the Richter scale. We know of more than 100 deaths, but it's likely the death toll is much, much, much higher. Lots of the telegraph and internet infrastructure has been taken out by the earthquake, and the Hunter restricts internet and social media access. So we don't really know the full... extent of the death, but we can imagine it will be very high as one of the areas most affected was Mandalay, which is the second largest city in Myanmar. I've spoken to half a dozen sources in Myanmar today, people who Robert and I have interviewed before. They're all okay, but they all shared how terrible things were.
They said things were as bad as they were at the time of Cyclone Nargis, which was a terrible disaster in 2008. If you would like to support the people of Burma who are currently fighting against a tyrannical dictatorship, as well as dealing with the consequences of this natural disaster, there are a couple of ways you can do so. I was actually already running a fundraiser on my Patreon for Mobier PDF. They are a casualty evacuation team in Southern Shan State, right at the fiercest part of the fighting right now. They don't fight. What they do is they go and they evacuate people who have been injured and they provide medical services to internally displaced people. They've been doing this since 2021.
They're incredibly brave people and they've saved more than 300 lives. You can read more about them by going to my Patreon post, which also includes all the links for donation. The website for that is tinyurl.com slash help hyphen Myanmar. That's tinyurl.com slash H-E-L-P hyphen M-Y-A-N-M-A-R. If you'd like to donate somewhere else, an organization that you can donate to is the Free Burma Rangers, freeburmarangers.org. They're a fantastic NGO. They've been doing a lot of medical work in the liberated zones of Myanmar for a very long time. They've also worked in Rojava and lots of other places around the world where people need help. I spoke to Dave from FPR today, he's well, and he told me that they're already starting to respond to the disaster. So to donate to them, FreeBurmaRangers.org. Thanks very much. We appreciate your support.
Welcome back to Behind the Bastards, a podcast where, you know, Mengesh, our great guest for today. Tina, you ever heard that quote, cometh the time, cometh the man?
I haven't.
Okay. Well, it's a quote people say, and I'm saying it now because I've decided, I had a dream last night.
Are people you and you when...
I was not. Excuse me, Sophie. Let's cut that out. No, cometh the time, cometh the man. And I had a vision last night while I was dreaming.
Yeah, I was going to say, you're really not helping this theory.
No, no. I had a vision while I was dreaming about how to save America. And so I've decided I'm running in 2028. And I'm running on a platform of, look, One of the big problems the liberals and the progressives have, they all think if you make education better, if you get enough dunks on people in public debates or whatever, you can stop parents and the like from putting poison into their kids to try to treat ill-understood conditions, right? And you can't. You can't stop people from wanting something to do. So let's give them something to do that's basically harmless. And that's why, as a presidential candidate, my entire platform is going to be – legalize and subsidized using federal money, a $7 bar of Xanax, the size of a Snickers bar. You just get them over the counter, any grocery store, any pharmacy, just a Snickers bar of pure Xanax. You can lick it like a horse.
You can do whatever you want with it, $7 flat. That's how we're going to fix things in this country. Look, every problem, the $7 Xanax Snickers bar solves, right? You got a guy walks into a fucking public building wanting to do a mass shooting, reaches for his gun, finds a $7 Snickers bar as Xanax, bites it, forgets why he's there. Problem solved. You know, everything could be this way.
