 Hold the phone. I'm talking about politics. Oh Nintendo Prime. Oh, no dislike the video runaways unsubscribe Okay, it's not actually that bad What is happening is something very weird house Republicans Put out a statement today on tax reform And it's all fine I think everyone would love a little bit of tax reform one way or another whether or not you get the Republicans or the Democrats Or what have you? but They built their entire reasoning Around a legend of Zelda reference Which is quite cool. You know Zelda intermixing with politics. I mean whatever That's not making Zelda political, but you can maybe bring in a broader spectrum of people Maybe gamers who don't pay attention to politics much. Here's what the statement says The legend of Zelda series is Nintendo's best-selling video game franchise Oh, okay. Let's just stop for a second. No, it's not In fact, the legend of Zelda series. I don't even think Is it in their top 10? Maybe it's in their top 10. It's been a while since I've actually looked I'll just bring up the list right now Because obviously Mario is a number one Just just crazy and you could argue Super Mario is separate, but you can combine them if you want whatever You got Pokemon You know, they got the Wii series of games. Oh Man Man I Don't even know what they're thinking. Anyways, let's just get right back into it Um, it says okay, so legend of Zelda series Nintendo's best-selling video game franchise Enjoyed by more than two generations of gamers. I mean, I hope so 30 years The action adventure game was released in 1986 technically released in 1985 in Japan, but It did release in 86 in the US. So I'll give them a pass on that one and it says Oh One year after Nintendo's founding in 1985. Oh my Nintendo's over a hundred years old. Oh Man These are the people running our country folks Like if you're going to make a reference, right? If you're gonna make a reference to Nintendo to the Zelda series at least do the most basic of Google searches here Here, let me Google that for you. Nintendo was founded when oh Look at that. They were founded in September 23rd in 1889 Oh Man Anyways, I mean they could have said that they started in the video game industry them But you could argue they had arcade games first. So anyways Oh, man Anyway, and here's how they related the politics and you know what else was released in 1986 Yeah, you do the last major reform to the American tax code was signed into law in 1986 Here's the thing When you when you say yeah, you do and this is not like a public statement I guarantee you that most Americans have no idea when the last major reform To the American tax code was signed. I guarantee like I was born in 1986 and I didn't know that was the year the last major reform of the American tax code was signed you could call it ignorance because I Didn't look it up and that's fine, but These are politicians, of course, they should know this But at least if I'm gonna reference something like say I wanted to bring up the American tax code I would look it up. I would you know Google that And you can't correlate the Zelda series to a tax law like And especially if you're gonna do it this poorly you butcher You know the mention of Zelda by saying it's the best-selling video game franchise Incorrect. You mentioned it was first released in 1986 I'll give you a pass on that one because of the you know the release differences between countries But but you're way off on Nintendo's founding in 1985. Oh, I I just can't it's so hard to even read this with a straight face And you can tell I totally didn't this This is a laughable. I I don't know what's happening And the page itself which was originally at GOP gov It is taken down now They got pretty lambasted over this These mistakes, I mean Literally the URL was GOP gov slash legend dash Zelda dash American dash tax dash code dash common What the Zelda series has in common with the American tax code? Come on this oh man No, look, I'm not gonna sit here and say that That the GOP is stupid just like I wouldn't say the Democrats are stupid like You have to be pretty smart. I I guess to get to certain places in this world including politics, but man For all the the quote-unquote fake news that goes on out there, and you know, whatever The I won't call things fake news. I'll say politically driven news That's what I always view all the major news outlets whether it's CNN MSNBC CBS Fox news whatever no matter what outlet it is. They're all politically driven to drive an agenda So they might give you the news, but it's always it's never gonna be just the news It's always gonna be painted in a political light to favor their own stances And so that's why I have a hard time enjoying or watching any major news network At least on cable TV because it's just very hard for me to Dissern the facts from the opinions that they try to sway into the facts It to me. It's kind of poor journalism. I think there's a point for discussion And I do it here in general pride right like I I discuss things But I always give you the news first and it's very it was a very clear marketing Here's the news and then right after that. There's my thoughts and It's very separated whereas they'll take the news and sprinkle it in throughout their thoughts And that's where I have I've issued a major news outlets It's fine to have a conversation, but don't make the news your conversation if that if that makes sense And this is so different. I don't view myself as a news network. I don't view myself as a reporter anymore I don't even see myself as a journalist I'm just like a Nintendo guy with an opinion on things, but man, this is just hilarious. I Oh, I guess this is why let me Google that for you exist, right? How do you botch a reference this bad that you can't even do basic research and it's obvious why Like they're using the Zelda series, right? It's because Breath of the Wild has been in the news The Nintendo switch has been in the news and primarily it's because of Breath of the Wild and how amazing it's done and how it's The fourth or third or second or how dependent where you look one of the best rated games of all time It's it's capturing the minds. It's probably gonna win game of the year as all those, you know a hot topic right now And there's so many ways they could have referenced this and got it better In fact here, let me do this for you if the if the reference you're making here is is just saying that There's correlation between the launch of the Zelda series and the last tax reform like you just bring up an interesting fact right instead of saying what's in common just an interesting fact the Legend of Zelda series launched in the same year that It was made. Let me start with this Nintendo which was founded in 1889 the same year that Benjamin Harrison took over the presidency from Grover clean Cleveland on March 4th Released a breath of the wild this year a critically acclaimed success story and arguably one of the best video games ever created This is notable because the Zelda series launched in the United States in 1986 by that same company Nintendo and Another interesting fact politically is the is that the tax reform the last major tax reform Was also signed in 1986 Do any of these facts have anything to do with each other? No, but I'm saying this just because I want people to Pay attention to me. All right.
