Speaker 1: that's a deep cut. That's a deep cut for the
Speaker 1: Muslims listening. Okay, are we celebrating something or that was
Speaker 1: just like a good that I feel like we should
Speaker 1: be We should be. I mean, I've been on this
Speaker 1: tip when like in the last two years there's been
Speaker 1: like five new shows on TV, five new series that
Speaker 1: speak just to Muslims. We're talking about like Ramy, Miss Marvel,
Speaker 1: Moon Night, and now we have Mo the new show
Speaker 1: coming out on Netflix, Like you know, am it? It
Speaker 1: just it feels like there's so much happening in that community,
Speaker 1: and I just want to feel like a part of it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll just like speak out to them. Hell yeah
Speaker 1: one time. That's always a beautiful thing. Where like are
Speaker 1: we are we getting some winds over here happening? Yeah?
Speaker 1: For real, always a pleasure where you come to us from.
Speaker 1: I'm still in New k New Jersey, still in Brick City. Man,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I even want to be here anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I've like wrapped it really hard.
Speaker 1: I think the first time I was on this show,
Speaker 1: I had like a Newark hat, and this time I'm
Speaker 1: just like, ah, man, dude. They're like, they're trying to
Speaker 1: build another power plant. We have three power plants in
Speaker 1: this like four square mile community, three, which is more
Speaker 1: than you'll find any other areas you're a collector, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've got like the best power plants for some reason.
Speaker 1: But at the same time there they just approved a
Speaker 1: fourth one where they're gonna import the ship, like the
Speaker 1: actual ship from New York and from other states, human
Speaker 1: ways to bring it into They're gonna truck it in
Speaker 1: and they're gonna they're called bio solids, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: boil it and turn it into like concrete paste or something,
Speaker 1: which is, yeah, can we have can we afford that
Speaker 1: in this neighborhood it keeps going up for some reason?
Speaker 1: Is that going to somehow produce energy or this is
Speaker 1: independent of the electrical plant. It's it's so that has
Speaker 1: like to two prongs, right. The first prong is it's
Speaker 1: better than leaving it in a landfill. Right. Yeah. Usually
Speaker 1: with this stuff, what happens to the stuff is that
Speaker 1: it gets dumped in the water, or it ends up
Speaker 1: in some lot in Pennsylvania or other parts of New
Speaker 1: Jersey or whatever. But in this way, they're thinking that
Speaker 1: we're gonna truck it just across the river to New York,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, and we're gonna use it, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: cut the production of the actual cement, which is way
Speaker 1: worse for the environment than what they would be doing.
Speaker 1: So they actually pitched it as a green project. But
Speaker 1: same time, this community is mostly black and brown. Historically
Speaker 1: it's been redlines, so people who were here couldn't leave
Speaker 1: and buy houses in Millburne or Nutley or other communities
Speaker 1: that are just across the highway that are you know,
Speaker 1: they have no power plants, and I wonder why. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's like, why why does that
Speaker 1: need to be. We're in a place where there's already
Speaker 1: three power plants, right, Can this more pollution? That's the
Speaker 1: question I have to ask. And as a dad, now
Speaker 1: I also have to ask that am I comfortable continuing
Speaker 1: to raise the child here where they're just going to
Speaker 1: keep adding to the pollution. I have to I have
Speaker 1: to live with whatever happens, you know, So I have
Speaker 1: to make that decision soon, I think, yeah, man, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's that's why the wait. Are what kind of
Speaker 1: power plants you have? Are? They? Like, like, how are
Speaker 1: they generating power? There's a couple. There's one that's an
Speaker 1: incinerator where they just straight up lighter on fire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is innerator is like walking distance from me, and
Speaker 1: one day it literally turned the sky purple for some reason,
Speaker 1: whatever it was shooting out from the smoke stack was purple.
Speaker 1: And they're like, it's fine, it's normal. Yeah, Like we
Speaker 1: have an a gender reveal at the power plants. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. Congrats today they both out, you know,
Speaker 1: and we just were not tripping. But if they just
Speaker 1: colored the sky, so wow, Yeah, it's yeah. A lot
Speaker 1: of you say that you don't think about them like
Speaker 1: a parent, and now that I'm a parent, I'm like
Speaker 1: thinking about it. Sure, sure, And also yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: think about your like, but I love being here, but
Speaker 1: also the way this place is set up. It's almost
Speaker 1: asking me a lot of hard questions. I mean, I
Speaker 1: grew up with asthma. Uh yeah, yeah, I actually grew
Speaker 1: up in the house like two blocks from where I
Speaker 1: am right now. And what's crazy is I think the
Speaker 1: rate here is like forty, like one in four kids.
Speaker 1: I think it's like we'll get asthma, which is twice
Speaker 1: the national rate. Right, so that's obscene alright, But in
Speaker 1: my family it was three out of four, three of
Speaker 1: us had asthma, you know. And and I almost wonder
Speaker 1: how I'll feel if my kid develops asthma too, Like
Speaker 1: will I be okay with that? Right? I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's all right responsible, But then you're like, I'm at
Speaker 1: I'm against the fucking forces of capitalism. I'm not having
Speaker 1: as much sh ah. And and there's also a bit
Speaker 1: of survivals build attached to it. What if I now
Speaker 1: that I'm like working and I got like a job
Speaker 1: that pays pretty well, how will I feel knowing that
Speaker 1: I can moved to Nutley Now all of my friends
Speaker 1: in my community are just gonna be behind. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's wild heather. So many ways to make yourself
Speaker 1: feel terrible even when you're like, objectively, I'm doing good,
Speaker 1: but the way society scide society so fucked up. I'm
Speaker 1: out here questioning if I deserve the ship I got.
Speaker 1: It's a slippery slope. But yeah, I I hope much
Speaker 1: clarity comes to you soon. Yeah, thank you. Man. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of things that we're talking about. We're gonna say
Speaker 1: a fundos to list Cheney as she has been defeated
Speaker 1: in her thoroughly soundly by mega I mean eight of ten,
Speaker 1: eight of ten Republicans have voted for for impeachment, have
Speaker 1: are are no longer in power, and two are hanging
Speaker 1: on off a technicality. Yeah, it's kind of a rap.
Speaker 1: Like this does signal It's like, oh no, he won,
Speaker 1: he won that one. But we're gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1: We're gonna she she's talking about maybe running for president
Speaker 1: as a spoiler, and like this, this one's again raised
Speaker 1: the specter of a third party? Is there reason to
Speaker 1: believe in third parties this upcoming election cycle? I mean,
Speaker 1: and wait till we also will get to Andrew Yang's pitch.
Speaker 1: If you're if you've been on the fence about a
Speaker 1: third party, get fucking ready, y'all. I hope you're thinking
Speaker 1: caps on for this one. It's a vibe. That's that's
Speaker 1: mainly what it is. It's not not so much a
Speaker 1: pitch as a vibe savage. Okay, we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: Starbucks going for the kill on unions. Like I thought,
Speaker 1: I thought they were like well established at this point,
Speaker 1: there were so many victories, but they're they're basically being like,
Speaker 1: we we need to revote. There's the we can't trust
Speaker 1: the these they're they're just doing what Trump did to
Speaker 1: the presidential election essentially. So we'll talk about that all
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first aim and we like to
Speaker 1: ask uric guest, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 1: I was looking up Starbucks evil actually because I was
Speaker 1: actually reading about the union thing a second ago, and
Speaker 1: I remember it on YouTube. I had found a video
Speaker 1: a lot of years ago about how the logo was
Speaker 1: actually a nod at something evil and satanic, and it's
Speaker 1: like a whole conspiracy rabbit hole about how Starbucks is
Speaker 1: actually run by an evil satanic court or something like that.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying those things are true. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I know that it's like it's fun, but that's what
Speaker 1: I was looking for it so I can remember what
Speaker 1: exactly about the hidden evil of the Starbucks logo on
Speaker 1: the Scott Smith blug. I feel like that would make
Speaker 1: them way cooler than I think they actually are, as
Speaker 1: if they hid some satanic ship and their logo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, god rather, I mean they're just now demonic
Speaker 1: because they're so inhumane to workers. But all right, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh ship. They're saying, it's like an upside down bathroom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, okay, I see you, I see
Speaker 1: you so in much the same way that much the
Speaker 1: same way that the Bulls logo is an upside down robot.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that the Bulls logo upside down?
Speaker 1: It is straight up a robot. It's cool this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Starbucks logo when you turn it upside down, looks
Speaker 1: exactly like baff Mat the horned devil goat thing. That's
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. How does it look like a robot? Oh?
Speaker 1: Because it looks like a robot, like spinning, like using
Speaker 1: a crab, using a turntable. Yeah, it's a robot. Union
Speaker 1: Crabs is a turntable. I like that. WHOA, that's fu
Speaker 1: wild r. They should just adapt that for like April
Speaker 1: Fool's Day or something. Yeah, just a pre marketing idea,
Speaker 1: go for it. Announced like, who is it the CEO
Speaker 1: of Goldman. Who's the fucking want to be DJ Jamie
Speaker 1: Do David Damon? Yeah, yeah, the new logo for the Well.
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about my favorite DJ Miles. Yeah, okay, bad,
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Solve. That's awesome. He was de sold,
Speaker 1: but then he was like, funk this, I'm cool enough.
Speaker 1: Now I can go by David Solomon. I'm going by
Speaker 1: young ceo. How did the fact that there was not
Speaker 1: any YouTube footage from his set at loud Pluza suggested
Speaker 1: me either it didn't happen or his s e O
Speaker 1: people were on that ship, or people were like, yo,
Speaker 1: what the funk is this like a charity set in
Speaker 1: the Well? No? I wanted to see, like because remember
Speaker 1: we saw the footage from him Campton set and it
Speaker 1: was just the emptiest floor mixed with he just did
Speaker 1: someone's wedding. I just saw another clip of him recently
Speaker 1: djaying Somebody's wedding and like the most low energy like
Speaker 1: dropped I've ever seen. He's like putting his hand up
Speaker 1: and like cutting the troubles, like you ready, and then
Speaker 1: it happened. He has like nobody movement, like when the
Speaker 1: beat comes in. Andyone's like all his sick of fans
Speaker 1: are just taping him in the front and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is too much. You know what? That reminds me
Speaker 1: of of Joe Queen Phoenix trying to start a rap career,
Speaker 1: and he has like a few rap concerts and it's
Speaker 1: sort of the same energy. It's like, you're really trying. Man.
Speaker 1: That was God. We should have known it was a
Speaker 1: rap when he was out there trying to Somebody should
Speaker 1: have told him something. What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: PlayStation five now I have I have a few reasons
Speaker 1: for this, right because it's it's sort of like a
Speaker 1: designer like video game console at this time at this point,
Speaker 1: but I love having something that my brother can't get
Speaker 1: his hands on, and it's like the best feeling in
Speaker 1: the world. It's actually really funny. His his wife has
Speaker 1: a control of the Amazon account. It's like under her
Speaker 1: email or whatever, and so he got this he had
Speaker 1: access to like this Amazon customers only access to a
Speaker 1: PlayStation five drop. But she didn't tell him that. The
Speaker 1: email came through when it was time to get hit
Speaker 1: the one that was reserved, and so he called me
Speaker 1: mad as hell. He's like, hey, I can't get this
Speaker 1: freaking place. It's been like a year, and I'm like, damn, man,
Speaker 1: you want to come over and play mine? That's what
Speaker 1: that's what he gets for when he's trying to play
Speaker 1: fro Mario gave me the controller that's not plugged in.
Speaker 1: Is this your older brother, younger brother? Yeah, it's my
Speaker 1: older brother. Okay, yeah, so you need a windmill on
Speaker 1: him all day with that PSI. Oh, I'm setting it
Speaker 1: pictures all the time. Yeah. It's like, oh man, you
Speaker 1: have a baby, you won't be able to like to
Speaker 1: pay the box the box, Yeah, I got you got yo. Oh.
Speaker 1: I should just just saying, just saying, if you really
Speaker 1: want to get in your fucking sibling war bag, come
Speaker 1: pull up with him fucking rocked out PS five box
Speaker 1: and be like, hey man, you know you know I
Speaker 1: got you, big bro. It's time to make peace. Man,
Speaker 1: I got you. It's just like a cinder block. Oh,
Speaker 1: my god, but that might cause that might cause the
Speaker 1: real problems. But anyway, you know, that's a dangerous that's
Speaker 1: a dangerous move with gamers. I feel if he's hit
Speaker 1: in that age where you're starting to shrink a little bit,
Speaker 1: so I'm not scared of him. Okay, that like thirties,
Speaker 1: I'm shrinking. Yeah, I might be there too. I'm like
Speaker 1: starting to look over his head and I'm just started like,
Speaker 1: it's that a little bro. You might be hitting a grossberg.
Speaker 1: You might be growing. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you don't
Speaker 1: start shrinking until you're in your like sixties. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: get the dad. How is the PS five still like
Speaker 1: so hard to come by? Is it just the same
Speaker 1: way as like cars or facing supply chain issues or what?
Speaker 1: What's I think it has more to do with bots,
Speaker 1: because I think, you know, for a long time, like
Speaker 1: really nice sneakers and design your stuff has always been
Speaker 1: really hard to find online, and so there's all these
Speaker 1: bot engines that will just automatically purchased as soon as
Speaker 1: the drop happens, so they can purchase the whole stock
Speaker 1: before a human can physically click on the purchasing out.
Speaker 1: But right, yeah, so it's been impossible for any human
Speaker 1: just go on to any of these websites and just
Speaker 1: hit by because so many of these what are they
Speaker 1: call it, Yeah, there's a term for him, but yeah,
Speaker 1: so they like they basically just hoard all these yeah,
Speaker 1: the resellers, so they just have all, they just have
Speaker 1: them all. And there's also the supply and chain issue
Speaker 1: because they have a certain chip that there's like a
Speaker 1: worldwide shortage that's making it hard to make cars, to
Speaker 1: make computers. It's too hard to make anything these days.
Speaker 1: I know that Tesla got uh got pushed back like
Speaker 1: four or five years because they ran out of chips.
Speaker 1: They just don't have any more chips. They're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you can sign up for I think that's what it
Speaker 1: is right now, or you can buy Yeah, that's all
Speaker 1: we got the bottom to the battery out for you though.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the the PS five shortage really but I
Speaker 1: remember when it came out. I only got one because
Speaker 1: my friend hit two a lot of easy and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: i'll sell you the one. The other one I hit
Speaker 1: at cost and I was like, thank you for being
Speaker 1: gentle with the reseller, because I know you could have
Speaker 1: came up if you actually put that thing. This is
Speaker 1: like at the end of you know that that winters
Speaker 1: right off the jump? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know
Speaker 1: how people felt when they got like the Visor Vaccine
Speaker 1: No One. It's like, oh they got that exclusive. That's
Speaker 1: sort of how I feel with the PS five, just
Speaker 1: holding and hunging it. What are you playing on It's
Speaker 1: like my brother got Maderna and I got I got
Speaker 1: That's how PS visor. Wait, wait, what are you playing
Speaker 1: on it right now? I like the indie games I'm
Speaker 1: playing right now that that game called Kina. It's sort
Speaker 1: of like a Legends of Zelda Vibe where it's like
Speaker 1: dungeons and puzzles and that kind of thing. I play
Speaker 1: a lot of sports games, so I play a lot
Speaker 1: of FIFA. It's which you know, we should pour one
Speaker 1: out because the next one is going to be the
Speaker 1: last one, the last one. Then we get they lost
Speaker 1: the license, sports FC or whatever the is gonna be
Speaker 1: called whatever. We'll survive, Yeah, that'll be fine. What's what's
Speaker 1: something you think is over it? Camera strips? You know
Speaker 1: when people take pictures, there's like a strap that comes
Speaker 1: with every camera that you're supposed to hook up to.
Speaker 1: You can sling it over your shoulder and sling it
Speaker 1: over your neck. And I just haven't used one in
Speaker 1: a couple of years now, and I don't think I
Speaker 1: can never go back, you know, like this is an
Speaker 1: example of it. Like I just preferred a whole while,
Speaker 1: and and I know it's like it increases the rate
Speaker 1: of dropping at but at least, you know, you feel
Speaker 1: like you're holding onto something and if you just like
Speaker 1: let it hang over your shoulder, it just rocks back
Speaker 1: and forth. Is that what kind of was that? It
Speaker 1: is heavy? This? Yeah, this is what I'm holding is
Speaker 1: a cannon Mark three five D Mark three and what
Speaker 1: you got l series glass on that? Hell yeah, man,
Speaker 1: strap pick this up twenty eight yea, yeah for the
Speaker 1: camera for the camera dorks. Yeah, okay, you know yeah,
Speaker 1: a friend, really good friend of mine just got married
Speaker 1: recently and I used to shoot weddings back in college.
Speaker 1: Is like my side hustle because you could just charge
Speaker 1: whatever and people are just happy to happen and they're
Speaker 1: so too. It's it's insane, it's insane with people charge.
Speaker 1: But I always charged less and so people were happy
Speaker 1: to work with me. And even then you're like, damn
Speaker 1: you paying me that much all right, Yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: mean it's better than doing like a p a job
Speaker 1: somewhere where Disney execs are gonna shout at me, you know,
Speaker 1: get my coffee or whatever. So I just did that instead.
Speaker 1: And so a buddy of mine just got married and
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, I'm gonna give you this as
Speaker 1: a wedding gift. I'm gonna like show up and like
Speaker 1: shoot your wedding, you know. And it was legit, man.
Speaker 1: I had like the setup. I had multiple cameras, we
Speaker 1: did the whole line. I made the groom's men take
Speaker 1: their picture. That was a little goofy. Made the brides
Speaker 1: may take their picture, that's goofy, all the whole nine basically.
Speaker 1: And I just got back to, like my whole table
Speaker 1: in front of me is covered with just camera shit.
Speaker 1: But the whole time there was like another photographer who
Speaker 1: had the strap, and I was just like, you look
Speaker 1: like dork right now. You have to like fucking clown them.
Speaker 1: That's if you if you're holding onto it, you can
Speaker 1: always just like tuck it like a football. And now
Speaker 1: you have two hands. Wow, maybe you are. It's My
Speaker 1: dad's a photographer. So I grew up getting yelled at
Speaker 1: all the time as a kid getting near my dad's
Speaker 1: camera equipment, right, And when I got old enough to
Speaker 1: take pictures, I had the rule was I cannot have
Speaker 1: a fucking camera in my hand unless the next strap
Speaker 1: was sucking on, because I remember I almost dropped a
Speaker 1: camera once and that was it. And so when I
Speaker 1: see you like, no, man, I'm careing for you with
Speaker 1: you're holding the lens part like it's the stem of
Speaker 1: a hammer, like the neck that's the heavier part of
Speaker 1: the camera. I mean you have to hold it from
Speaker 1: this side, dude. Yeah, if you're holding it like this, dude. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if you had a telephoto on, you can't hold
Speaker 1: it from the body, yeah, man. Yeah. Anyway, I'm just
Speaker 1: very passionate about it. And if I and if I
Speaker 1: see you wearing a strap, I might clown you. You
Speaker 1: know what's funny. My other homie who's a photographer, he
Speaker 1: has like he has the smallest wrist strap that he has.
Speaker 1: He's like, I ain't going full of that strap. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but sell the has it in his hand. If anything
Speaker 1: were to ever happen, it's just gonna go straight to
Speaker 1: the wrist. So at least I told her about there.
Speaker 1: I've seen that. Yeah, I would. I wouldn't mind a
Speaker 1: wrist trap, you know, it's like one of those like
Speaker 1: Nintendo switch straps where kind of slides over your wrist
Speaker 1: when he doesn't fling. Yeah, yeah, but no, man, if
Speaker 1: you're wearing it over your neck, it's it almost feels
Speaker 1: like you're pretending to be a photographer because like you're
Speaker 1: it's if you try to walk with it, just try
Speaker 1: walking with it, it's gonna like swing around and hit
Speaker 1: you in the chin. And if you try to swing
Speaker 1: it over your shoulder, it's just gonna keep flapping up
Speaker 1: and down. It's probably not good for the gear. So
Speaker 1: what I do is I just have a camera bag
Speaker 1: that has easy access, and so when I'm done shooting,
Speaker 1: I just flip it over one on one side of
Speaker 1: the arms, stuff to camera and keep moving. How angele
Speaker 1: is a camera like that? Like? Is that is that
Speaker 1: something that if it's just fucking flying around on a
Speaker 1: on a strap like that, is it it could break?
Speaker 1: Or is not? Alright? No, that it's the lens. The
Speaker 1: lens is obviously the Probably the funked that up. Like
Speaker 1: there's a wrap a body you could you could get
Speaker 1: away with some ship if you smash it up a
Speaker 1: little bit, but the glass you funked out up, it's
Speaker 1: m m mm hmm. And I've known some people who
Speaker 1: have like the craziest looking bodies and they're proud of it,
Speaker 1: especially concert photographers, you know, people who shootn't venues. Look
Speaker 1: at their gear. Man, it looks like it seemed battle.
Speaker 1: I'm sure in a way, it's actually kind of right,
Speaker 1: like it's I'm worried that Balenciaga, after hearing this, is
Speaker 1: going to come out with like the raggedy you know.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back,
Speaker 1: we'll talk list Cheney, we'll talk third parties, and we're back.
Speaker 1: And Liz Cheney, as predicted, defeated in her primary race
Speaker 1: against someone whose name I have not committed to memory.
Speaker 1: But I mean there's just like really really no need
Speaker 1: to It's not it's not that important. The most you
Speaker 1: need to know is that this woman, Harriet Hagman, had
Speaker 1: one of the worst looking like fashion choices I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Like it really has this like quilt coat that's baffling,
Speaker 1: but anyway sound baffling almost it would work very well
Speaker 1: as sound. It really would it really would you know,
Speaker 1: it's you know, God got her own magna swag, her
Speaker 1: own swagger. But yeah, she one handle. I think with
Speaker 1: sixty of the vote. She got six percent of the vote,
Speaker 1: So you know, I think if you turn on like
Speaker 1: CNN or MSNBC, some are like being like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like almost ereing her like a fallen hero. But
Speaker 1: come on, y'all, like, does she deserve an applause? Like
Speaker 1: she helped elev eight Trump, she voted for night, She
Speaker 1: voted with him nine of the time, and only found
Speaker 1: a backbone after January six, presumably because she hoped that
Speaker 1: an electoral defeat would be a tidy way to get
Speaker 1: him out the way, which is I just feel like
Speaker 1: that's the that's the most charity I could give her,
Speaker 1: So I'll give her, you know what, I'll give her
Speaker 1: one point because she did draw the line at election theft,
Speaker 1: but not at things like restricting like healthcare or lgbt
Speaker 1: Q rights or voting rights or human rights like that.
Speaker 1: So there it is. But really what this says is
Speaker 1: that this is this is pretty much the as many
Speaker 1: people are saying, it's the purge of anybody who went
Speaker 1: against Trump and the house is pretty much gone off
Speaker 1: without a hitch, eight out of ten. So yeah, and
Speaker 1: you said there's two left and they're hanging on by technicalities. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like one like there's a it's just like the way
Speaker 1: the district is set. It's just it's like it's an eventuality.
Speaker 1: I think the other is a friend of Kevin McCarthy,
Speaker 1: and Kevin McCarthy like begged Trump to not like name him,
Speaker 1: to maybe geek out a win. Yeah, no, seriously, So
Speaker 1: you know it's it's her. Her speech when she conceded
Speaker 1: was sort of like, you know, I could have won
Speaker 1: this race, but I didn't want to throw the whole boot. Okay,
Speaker 1: I only wanted to lick the tip a little bit
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and then I drew the line
Speaker 1: there and that's why I got smashed by somebody who
Speaker 1: was willing to regurgitate any amount of nonsense. So, you know,
Speaker 1: this make this probably, you know, obviously the end of
Speaker 1: the road for her as a congress person at the moment.
Speaker 1: But there's already a lot of talk and you know,
Speaker 1: saying like, yeah, I might think about running for president too,
Speaker 1: And there's like a new leadership pack that she's like
Speaker 1: shifting her money into it's called like the Great Task
Speaker 1: or some ship, very cryptic, it's something it's some ship
Speaker 1: like that, very very very honest. So and then a
Speaker 1: lot of people think, like, you know that that may
Speaker 1: that maybe her ultimate aim is to just to be
Speaker 1: a permanent thorn in Trump's side. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: her as a presidential candidate feels very like the wet
Speaker 1: dream of like CNN Sienna loves that ship. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: idea of Like, first of all, she's you know, got legacy,
Speaker 1: she's got the nepotism thing going. She has like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know what when the national news cycle was like, well,
Speaker 1: Jeff Bush is going to be the nominee type ship, Like,
Speaker 1: I feel like that I could see her getting a
Speaker 1: lot of attention that way. And if she can somehow
Speaker 1: rip off the band aid for you know, get getting
Speaker 1: people's mind around third parties, I would be all about that.
Speaker 1: Who knows. I mean, it looks like a good pedigree though,
Speaker 1: you know, her dad, her dad actually knows how to
Speaker 1: steal an election. That's true, Like look out, I mean
Speaker 1: that's a that's a feathering about Florida. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. But yeah, we'll see what I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, Amy, what do you think you see her
Speaker 1: being serious, like having a serious political career after a
Speaker 1: lot of people. No, man, I think she's done. I
Speaker 1: think she also knows that she's done. It's it's like
Speaker 1: that scene at the end of Black Panther where to
Speaker 1: Tall at the end is like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: can kind of see things your way now, It still
Speaker 1: doesn't erase everything that the villain has done the whole movie,
Speaker 1: You know what I mean this Cheney is a very
Speaker 1: staunch conservative and when we're thinking about what's good for
Speaker 1: the country, actually forget what's good for the country, think
Speaker 1: about where the polls are, the national polls, and what
Speaker 1: people actually want. She's one of those people that's voted
Speaker 1: regularly against what nationally people in America usually want for
Speaker 1: this country. And on top of that, if you want
Speaker 1: to just for a second, talk about her position on waterboarding. Hey,
Speaker 1: she doesn't think that waterboarding is actually tortured. She's on
Speaker 1: record saying that it's not torturing, that it's an interrogative
Speaker 1: interrogation technique that works. And to this day, to this day,
Speaker 1: she still think that that's why in the end we
Speaker 1: were able to get been leading. Never mind the fact
Speaker 1: that the CIA, the CIA themselves had their own fact
Speaker 1: finding agency that produced like a six thousand, seven hundred
Speaker 1: page report that Indian concluded that there is no evidence
Speaker 1: saying that any information obtained by any of those two
Speaker 1: interrogation techniques if you want to torture, nothing obtained by
Speaker 1: torture helped us get been leading. But that doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. She's still in that realm
Speaker 1: of conservative where her her position matters more than the
Speaker 1: truth when it comes to actually hurting people and hurting
Speaker 1: the country. I don't know, man, I'm kind of glad
Speaker 1: to see her go. Yeah, it's nice that she at
Speaker 1: the very end grew up conscious, but we would have
Speaker 1: loved to see that conscious. But what I think I'm
Speaker 1: more worried about is where the Conservative and Republican Party
Speaker 1: is going because I think this, in my opinion, what
Speaker 1: was at stake was what power. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people were talking about Trump as being this tangential
Speaker 1: figure in the Republican Party. Now he's sort of out
Speaker 1: of the way, he's quieter, he's off Twitter, he doesn't
Speaker 1: have that reach. I think he proved a lot of
Speaker 1: people wrong by getting Liz Cheney totally. You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's insane the margin that she was beat out by
Speaker 1: man like just that's insane, incumbent. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: ever happened before ever, So I think it's not a
Speaker 1: good sign if you're someone who's worried about Trump's power
Speaker 1: and at the same time, uh, knowing now that the
Speaker 1: Republican Party is is a party that's loyal to a person,
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna get hair from here. Is I'm feeling
Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, bro, I think these
Speaker 1: some of these people think this motherfucker's Jesus. They some
Speaker 1: of these amvangelicals are talking to It's like he's redefining
Speaker 1: religion for some people, with like their adherence to everything
Speaker 1: that he says. I mean, I think one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why they're really energized to is like the Republicans.
Speaker 1: It's easier to be like this, the fucker's a trader
Speaker 1: and turn out against them while being upset at like what,
Speaker 1: you know, Democrats being in power. But for sure, I
Speaker 1: mean like it it shows that that grievance vote was
Speaker 1: very potent there. But I don't know, you know that
Speaker 1: she maybe she'll spoil the party. I don't know. It's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know who she takes. It's like those people
Speaker 1: who might be like I can't get with Trump, it's like,
Speaker 1: well don't. I don't know if those are votes for
Speaker 1: anybody else. But anyway, Yeah, I recently ran a piece
Speaker 1: in Slate about the line between extremism and mainstream Republican
Speaker 1: politics shrinking right. And so I talked to a research
Speaker 1: fellow at the Sufion Center, which is like this far right,
Speaker 1: not not far They they investigate extremism wherever it comes from,
Speaker 1: and they found that that line that's you know, the
Speaker 1: distance that a person has to travel to find crazy
Speaker 1: conspiracies and violent rhetoric has virtually disappeared. And now if
Speaker 1: you go online and you're looking for just running the
Speaker 1: mill conservative ideas, you're pretty much guaranteed to be funneled
Speaker 1: into one of these corners of the Internet where you're
Speaker 1: bounty encounter some of the most hardcore ship you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And so this, I think, like the
Speaker 1: whole this chainey thing is just it's like a symptom
Speaker 1: of a bigger problem, which is that the the person
Speaker 1: who was online looking for conservative ideas now is just
Speaker 1: being thrashed with so much of this crazy extremist ship.
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about just like extremism on like
Speaker 1: abortion or you know, I'm talking about we gotta burn
Speaker 1: it down, you know what I mean, like accelerationist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's insane. So I think that distinction is important between
Speaker 1: like what Republican ideas are and like the the extremism
Speaker 1: ship that this group is talking about when they're for example,
Speaker 1: trying to kind of tear all of the institutions apart,
Speaker 1: tear try us away from these two institutions so that
Speaker 1: people feel helpless and working with the system, so they
Speaker 1: start looking for solutions outside the system. And those solutions
Speaker 1: are not going to be peaceful. Right now, we're talking
Speaker 1: about subverting the will of American democracy, the will of
Speaker 1: your neighbor. Now you're just trying to enforce it by force.
Speaker 1: And so what does that look like? It looks like
Speaker 1: the dude going and setting his car on fire in
Speaker 1: front of the in Washington, d C. And we're talking
Speaker 1: about the dude who tried to blast through a bulletproof
Speaker 1: glass and an FBI building in Cincinnati with a nailgun.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what that looks like. And so I
Speaker 1: think it's it's not looking good. It's not looking good.
Speaker 1: But do you think like he is more electorally viable
Speaker 1: than like what people are giving him credit? Like it
Speaker 1: it seems to me like he is the presumptive presumptive
Speaker 1: like winner, not even the nominee primary. I don't like
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna be the nominee. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like the amount of energy we're seeing out here in
Speaker 1: like unprecedented wins and you know, granted as Wyoming or
Speaker 1: whatever the funk, but like it just feels like the
Speaker 1: people are once again sleeping on the fact that Trump
Speaker 1: is going to be the president again barring some manner
Speaker 1: of like I don't know charges against him, which is
Speaker 1: also very unlikely. I feel like I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it's bleak bleak times, and like what does a Trump
Speaker 1: presidency look like? Yeah, but I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's why that's why it's close to pick. Gotta pay
Speaker 1: attention to these mid terms, man, That's you'll see what
Speaker 1: a how much people are like, Oh, do I have
Speaker 1: to vote to keep my rights for the first Like,
Speaker 1: do I need to go get out to do that.
Speaker 1: Will they do that? Are people connected enough to what
Speaker 1: the stakes are? Is by virtue of all of the
Speaker 1: talk in my DC really centering around like what's going
Speaker 1: on with Trump? Like is he going to jail? Is
Speaker 1: he getting indicted? Is he getting be charged? Definitely good
Speaker 1: for like the media energy machine. But then like when
Speaker 1: I do see people like Eric Trump being like these
Speaker 1: people were like fighting over giving me dinner. You gotta
Speaker 1: see it, I'm like that did ship didn't happen? Full
Speaker 1: shut up, Like it's not like that, okay, but I
Speaker 1: do understand that it is. This is the absolute position
Speaker 1: Fox Trump the right wing loves to be in, is
Speaker 1: to get into like we got they they're coming for
Speaker 1: us mode. But you know, again, seeing how like ill
Speaker 1: equipped Republicans are when asked to comment on everything are
Speaker 1: like about this situation, then you're like, damn my god,
Speaker 1: I'm sure these people would again rather be trying to say, like,
Speaker 1: actually following gas prices is bad for Americans because that
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I think the lesson from sixteen
Speaker 1: when Hillary lost was that elections aren't won by energizing
Speaker 1: your bay. The elections are won by getting the other
Speaker 1: side to not show up. You know, right, that was
Speaker 1: the issue with Hillary. It's not that Trump's support got
Speaker 1: him over the edge. It was that. But also Hillary
Speaker 1: supporters didn't show up, you know, partly because of you know,
Speaker 1: her her emails and the FBI opening and investigation just
Speaker 1: literally the same month of the election. But at the
Speaker 1: same time it's it's you know, I think we need
Speaker 1: to be thinking about that moving forward a little bit
Speaker 1: more because what is it that's going to get Democrats
Speaker 1: out and to vote? I think the problem is, right,
Speaker 1: we always talk about it. I just saw a headline
Speaker 1: it's like, what can Joe Biden do to bring out
Speaker 1: the youth vote or you know, like what has to
Speaker 1: app happen? And it sounds like this thing where the
Speaker 1: youth vote is this thing that like it's like through
Speaker 1: this alchemy we can energize them. What is the secret recipe?
Speaker 1: When really it's about ken It's not about the youth
Speaker 1: vote waking up. It's about can the party actually appeal
Speaker 1: to people? Stop putting it in the in the hands
Speaker 1: of like can the youth vote wake up? It's like
Speaker 1: are you even are you even espousing policies that interest people?
Speaker 1: Like can you even connect with them? It's not that
Speaker 1: you're trying to prod this like dead fucking body on
Speaker 1: the side of the road, like hey, come on, man,
Speaker 1: wake up. It's about can you even put something in
Speaker 1: the air that people are like, Oh, that's a direction
Speaker 1: that I believe in that we can go for because
Speaker 1: a lot of times people, you know, here a lot
Speaker 1: of political talking, like there's a bunch of bullshit case
Speaker 1: and point. Fucking Andrew Yang recently out here talking about
Speaker 1: his third party on CNN, and he this guy thinks
Speaker 1: he's so big brain. He's like, no, man, it's the
Speaker 1: fucking it's about. It's about going forward, man, it's about progress.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I know I progressed me and something very
Speaker 1: specific to me. But when he was asked by Jim
Speaker 1: Accost on CNN, this dude, oh my god, it's so
Speaker 1: really you gotta listen to this. But like, this is
Speaker 1: what happens when your people pleasing part of your brain
Speaker 1: is completely blown out because you don't even know what
Speaker 1: to do it, Like, how can anybody these things have
Speaker 1: taken over my body? Okay, here we call please please
Speaker 1: show us, show us the way. On both sides, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to come up with policies. Yeah, but Andrew,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to have policy positions at some point.
Speaker 1: How does the Forward Party feel about ro versus wage
Speaker 1: should have been overturned? Well, I personally think that women's
Speaker 1: reproductive rights are fundamental human rights. But the Forward Party
Speaker 1: has not left or right. But Forward stands on even
Speaker 1: the most divisive and contentious issues. Don't you have to
Speaker 1: take asition. You can't just say, well, you know, this
Speaker 1: is a hot button issue, so I'm not going to
Speaker 1: take a position on you. You know you want to
Speaker 1: run the country, You're gonna have to make some hard decisions, Andrew. Again,
Speaker 1: the Forward Party is about that common sense consensus majority
Speaker 1: of view, which is very clear on abortion, it's clear
Speaker 1: about guns. What about change, It's actually clear on just
Speaker 1: about every issue under the sun. Should year olds were changed?
Speaker 1: Should because of the nature of our system, should eighteen
Speaker 1: year olds be able to buy airt Again, the common
Speaker 1: sense consensus. There should be some rules around background checks
Speaker 1: and access to firearms. But we're not getting any of
Speaker 1: these things, Jim, because the two party system does not
Speaker 1: need to deliver. Okay, it doesn't even sound like you
Speaker 1: can deliver on even having a take on ship this
Speaker 1: is the So the idea that he's pitching is a
Speaker 1: third party that is the center is to the center,
Speaker 1: and that is based on this talking point that was
Speaker 1: created by the Republicans, that is, the Democrats are too
Speaker 1: far to be left, too extreme, except they're not extreme
Speaker 1: about literally anything like there's not an extreme left position
Speaker 1: that is occupied by the Democratic Party. So like anytime
Speaker 1: you try and ask, like the this new idea for
Speaker 1: a third party to like articulate how their position is
Speaker 1: different from the Democrats in any way, they can't because
Speaker 1: the Democrats are the centrist party. But the issue is
Speaker 1: we don't have a party that is to the left
Speaker 1: or like he says left or right beforeward. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you're talking progress, right, uh huh, that's I think that's
Speaker 1: a rap. Sure, if that's what you're saying, because if
Speaker 1: we're talking progress, inherently we're talking about disrupting the status quo,
Speaker 1: and you should be able to articulate things like rather
Speaker 1: than falling back on a tidy talking point like well
Speaker 1: they're coming since consensus. Well if your party represents that,
Speaker 1: then fucking say that, right, And what I just at
Speaker 1: the problems like you just there needs to be a party,
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, we're not gonna fucking waffle is like
Speaker 1: we need to go hard. Part Like we go hard.
Speaker 1: We're not mincing words about ship like and that. That's
Speaker 1: what the Republicans are right now. But they're just going
Speaker 1: hard for fucking autocracy and the fucking crystal fascism. Well right,
Speaker 1: there's there's a like whole middle like fuzzy middle part
Speaker 1: that is like traditional Democrats and traditional like Republicans, and
Speaker 1: then there is like a fascist thing that is what
Speaker 1: like mega has become. And that's it. That's the entirety
Speaker 1: of like American political thoughts. Like those are your options.
Speaker 1: Nobody has articulated anything else other than you know, like
Speaker 1: a handful of people who are not candidates unless you
Speaker 1: yourself are like reading like about like actually educating yourself
Speaker 1: like socialism and things like that. I mean, yeah, there
Speaker 1: are there are many ways to look at, you know,
Speaker 1: how our country is operating. But I think because the
Speaker 1: ones that, like you're saying, those are the ones that
Speaker 1: are most readily available and overly represented for people are
Speaker 1: just like let me click on this news site, right,
Speaker 1: what do what do you guys think about? Like preferential voting.
Speaker 1: You know, when you like assigned a party in number
Speaker 1: and you say, okay, I kind of like I'll give
Speaker 1: Democrats to three Republicans at two in the Green Party one,
Speaker 1: and you just like they calculate it that way. I
Speaker 1: think they do that in other countries. Yeah, you do that.
Speaker 1: I mean, anything better than the two party system that
Speaker 1: we have right now, like that the current like winner
Speaker 1: take all thing and the current like entrenched Republican Democrat
Speaker 1: are not you know, the like they make it impossible
Speaker 1: for a third party, So like, yeah, that that would
Speaker 1: be great. I feel like the only way we see
Speaker 1: any third party is it is if Trump is prevented
Speaker 1: from being the Republican nominee, then like comes through as
Speaker 1: a third party candidate and like something extreme and accidental
Speaker 1: and you know, something that neither of the two major
Speaker 1: parties can deal with because right out, like there's so
Speaker 1: the whole that they are the entire system Republican Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: So like there you can't you really can't do anything
Speaker 1: unless you already like have built in a majority of
Speaker 1: like you know, just insane numbers or energy or or
Speaker 1: something like that. I mean I feel like the energy
Speaker 1: right now is with fucking organized labor. That's something that
Speaker 1: is becoming increasingly more at the front of mind for
Speaker 1: American people, especially working people, and we see a lot
Speaker 1: of people who are you know, fighting to try and
Speaker 1: get equitable wages and benefits and things like that. And
Speaker 1: again we always, you know, you always see like, oh,
Speaker 1: these these talking points work when you're like, hey man,
Speaker 1: you should be able to fucking live off a one
Speaker 1: job and ship like that. But again, the issue is
Speaker 1: you always have you're always going to go up against
Speaker 1: the donor class, which are the people who cut the
Speaker 1: checks for the people whose vote you're trying to get,
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey man, don't don't talk that ship
Speaker 1: like you're gonna fucking raise my taxes. Man, funk out
Speaker 1: of here, fucking I'll wreck your whole ship with fucking
Speaker 1: with attack ads. Come on, now, you know what I've
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of hate the way that it's
Speaker 1: set up right now because it will split the vote
Speaker 1: like crazy. You know what I mean by splitting the vote,
Speaker 1: Like if we have people who are going to be
Speaker 1: looking at this long list of parties and they're going
Speaker 1: to be thinking, oh, well, I kind of I am
Speaker 1: not sure if I'm gonna go left or super left
Speaker 1: or even more left then that that will split the vote.
Speaker 1: So I'm Egyptian and I was paying really close attention,
Speaker 1: and I think it was when you just had like
Speaker 1: the first democratic election ever in its history, right, going
Speaker 1: all the way back to Phonic times even, and the
Speaker 1: way that they did their election was kind of like
Speaker 1: what we do here where everybody is invited to make
Speaker 1: their own parties, right, But there were these two existing
Speaker 1: parties that were already they had already a ton of support.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Muslim Brotherhood, which is like the
Speaker 1: theocratic conservative party. But then they also had the Military,
Speaker 1: which is sort of the old regime, which was also
Speaker 1: like a super hardcore conservative party. So everybody who wanted
Speaker 1: to vote progressive or liberal, which when I was down
Speaker 1: there and was interviewing people into her square was most people, right.
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted the Muslim Brotherhood and nobody wanted the old
Speaker 1: government that they just revolted against, and so they were
Speaker 1: just during to argue over like who was the better
Speaker 1: of these three different liberal parties. And so what happened
Speaker 1: in the end, the Conservatives voted for the Muslim group
Speaker 1: Muslim Brotherhood, the Military people voted for the military group
Speaker 1: and they were all in line there was, they had
Speaker 1: their support. And then all the people voted for liberals,
Speaker 1: which if you added up all those talies they would
Speaker 1: have won. They weren't even on the runoff. They weren't
Speaker 1: even in the top two, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It was like split between a hundred different parties in Canada.
Speaker 1: So yeah, exactly. Yeah. And so all of the people
Speaker 1: that I when I was there, when they were talking
Speaker 1: about who are you gonna vote for this person of
Speaker 1: that person, neither of them were ever hurt from again,
Speaker 1: you know, because they didn't have that kind of support
Speaker 1: to compete with the government or compete with the government,
Speaker 1: compete with the military, or compete with the Muslim brotherhood.
Speaker 1: So I'm almost like, I think we need to make
Speaker 1: up our mind. Do we want just the two parties.
Speaker 1: Are we're gonna vote fascism yes or no? Or do
Speaker 1: we want that kind of tiered system where we can
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna give this one three points, this one
Speaker 1: two points, this one five points, and that way there's
Speaker 1: sort of at least like a second choice, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's like and at the end of the day, like
Speaker 1: whenever I think of I'm like, yeah, that would work.
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, but the second you give people
Speaker 1: the option to take a bite out of a corporation's
Speaker 1: ass and that's popular, like the amount of money that's
Speaker 1: spent to like defeat policies like that, I'm like, what's first, Like,
Speaker 1: do we just need to get the money out of
Speaker 1: politics first? You know, to even to even have some
Speaker 1: semblance of a process that isn't completely tampered with moneyed interest.
Speaker 1: But on some level it always we always be because
Speaker 1: you know, our reliance on like the media and things
Speaker 1: like that. But it's, uh, it's yeah, a complex problem,
Speaker 1: and yeah, at the moment, I think we're just stuck
Speaker 1: with Hey, you want which old guy you want? You
Speaker 1: want like kind oh yeah, exactly, pick a old guy.
Speaker 1: Which one you want the one who's like, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of chill or the one who's definitely a fascist? Uh?
Speaker 1: And then you're like, what about like someone fascist or fascist?
Speaker 1: Light one? Right? Exactly right, sugar free Fascist Citizens United
Speaker 1: has been like a flashpoint on the left that I've
Speaker 1: seen at least some people rallying behind. I know, the
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders crowd was very in favor of repealing that.
Speaker 1: I would love to see more energy behind that. I
Speaker 1: think you're right, I think, and I do some some
Speaker 1: of my own monitoring of the right wing extremists, and
Speaker 1: they hate money in politics just as much as a
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders supporter would, you know. And in fact, they
Speaker 1: some of them of Trump so much because they see
Speaker 1: him as the anti establishment candidate. And right now they're
Speaker 1: doing a victory lap over this Cheney because they see
Speaker 1: him as old as the as the person that can
Speaker 1: get rid of some of these establishment types, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's I think one of the tweets that I
Speaker 1: saw from like this hardcore right person was, you know,
Speaker 1: because of Trump, we won't have a Bush or a
Speaker 1: Cheney in politics right now, right, and and that they
Speaker 1: see him as like that that kind of politics Vanquisher,
Speaker 1: And so I think if we can find a way
Speaker 1: to bring that to the forefront, I think that would
Speaker 1: be a strong united I think you're on one. It's
Speaker 1: just the one. It's like the answer to every question
Speaker 1: we have, you know, Like we talk about like, well
Speaker 1: how come it still being so hard for the unit,
Speaker 1: Like this Starbucks union push right now, It's like, well,
Speaker 1: the fucking and like the National Labor Relations Board is
Speaker 1: severely underfunded and they can't keep up with helping like
Speaker 1: workers organized, when like that's the federal agency tasked with it.
Speaker 1: And you get why people will drag their heels as
Speaker 1: representatives of Congress to not fund certain things because of
Speaker 1: how how the money flows. And I'm like, it answers
Speaker 1: so many questions. And I remember when I was working
Speaker 1: in politics, I was like, damn, it's this fucking just
Speaker 1: in front of your faceward. It's like this motherfucker signs
Speaker 1: your biggest check. So now all of your fucking energy
Speaker 1: goes into protecting this person's fucking business interests. And then
Speaker 1: like meanwhile, you said, go you glad hand in your
Speaker 1: district and be like yeah, man, we'll build this community
Speaker 1: center and ship. But no, you're not. You're gonna go
Speaker 1: because you've been paid to like vote a certain way
Speaker 1: on these like like ten bills every year that really
Speaker 1: matter most of your donors. And then you fucking go
Speaker 1: on with it and you don't, and you you you
Speaker 1: save your time from having to actually fundraise like small
Speaker 1: dollar donations because lobbyists come in with huge packaged donations
Speaker 1: from other moneyed interests and now you're like, oh, Ship,
Speaker 1: I'm set, I got more noe who's gonna try and
Speaker 1: step to me in a prime Mary, I'll blow them
Speaker 1: out with the amount of cash I have because I'm
Speaker 1: backed by all this money. And I think that's the
Speaker 1: one that's the only that's like, I feel like without
Speaker 1: that piece being taken out, there's absolutely no fucking way.
Speaker 1: Because they are they're always able to put their fingers
Speaker 1: and Ship, let's take a quick break, we'll come back,
Speaker 1: We'll we'll keep talking about this. Then what's happening with Starbucks?
Speaker 1: And we're back, and yeah, so let's talk about what
Speaker 1: what's going on in Starbucks because we we've then kind
Speaker 1: of covering the steady drip of like positive victories for
Speaker 1: unionization of various Starbucks stores across the country. Over two
Speaker 1: locations have voted to unionize. But Big Howie Schultz is
Speaker 1: coming through and is just trying to, you know, flip
Speaker 1: the table basically and be like those votes don't count.
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta redo the vote. No fair is
Speaker 1: It's like playing a board game with a four year
Speaker 1: old and except the four year olds aloud to just
Speaker 1: flip the table over and be like all right, we
Speaker 1: gotta start over again, right, and then fire you too,
Speaker 1: like I'm fired how But yeah, I mean, like you know,
Speaker 1: those those those those votes to unionize are obviously just
Speaker 1: like a first step, right, And like you're saying, sucking
Speaker 1: Starbucks is like doing everything they can to like violate
Speaker 1: every conceivable conceivable labor law as they try to bust
Speaker 1: all these unions. Like that means spying on pro union
Speaker 1: Parista's firing them, closing down the stores, or denying raises
Speaker 1: to those workers. Basically, you know, it's all intimidation. And again,
Speaker 1: so like once it's once any you know, group of
Speaker 1: people they decided to unionize, the next step is to
Speaker 1: have a first contract, right is you have to ratify
Speaker 1: your first contract. That's the moment when the east line
Speaker 1: is set where you've agreed. Okay, as this is these
Speaker 1: are this is the foundation of our agreement. These are
Speaker 1: the Here are the wages. Here's a structure, here the benefits.
Speaker 1: There's a structure. But unfortunately, there's no real legal obligation
Speaker 1: for a corporation to begin talks once a store has
Speaker 1: decided to unionize, like within a defined period of time.
Speaker 1: I think the lodge is something of like as long
Speaker 1: as it's in good faith quote unquote, but we all
Speaker 1: know the corporation and got no good fucking faith. So
Speaker 1: this allows for the funury since the goal of the
Speaker 1: corporation is to basically never agree to a first contract.
Speaker 1: That's like they're like, fuck, all right, well maybe they
Speaker 1: voted unionized, but let's try and do everything we can
Speaker 1: to make it be like you know, this shi ain't
Speaker 1: worth it, the ship ain't worth it, the ain't worth it.
Speaker 1: Abandon it. And there there's a rite up in Jacobin
Speaker 1: just kind of like chronicling all this like multi pronged
Speaker 1: issue right now with a lot of these workers unionizing
Speaker 1: and the push from Starbucks to you know, essentially try
Speaker 1: and kill the movement. So like, you know, the average
Speaker 1: time it takes between voting to unionize and the first
Speaker 1: contract is like fifteen months. That's not right. So it's
Speaker 1: within the that time that's when a lot of ship
Speaker 1: can they start violating you to try and be like okay,
Speaker 1: so you want to do that. Huh here comes retaliation
Speaker 1: straight up breaking laws. Yeah, Starbucks has only began talks
Speaker 1: with three of those over two hundred and twenty stores
Speaker 1: that have voted to unionize and and like again they're
Speaker 1: now they're sending their lawyers out, like they've hired like
Speaker 1: the fucking like you know, Michael Jordan's of union busting law,
Speaker 1: for law firms to come through with all kinds of
Speaker 1: like legal delaying tactics or again, like I'm saying, like
Speaker 1: firing people, closing down their stores and doing all that. Ship. Luckily,
Speaker 1: workers know how to fight back through the strikes. You know,
Speaker 1: they're really there. They've i think right now they said
Speaker 1: they've held over fifty five short term strikes. There's one
Speaker 1: that's like I think indefinite in Boston that's been going
Speaker 1: on since mid July. And like this is all in
Speaker 1: response to being like, yo, you want a union bus,
Speaker 1: watch this ship like we won't even work. And apparently
Speaker 1: that caused around almost four thousand dollars and like lost
Speaker 1: revenue with these like little things popping up here and there.
Speaker 1: But the thing is for in order for that to
Speaker 1: do that, I think more American people need to realize
Speaker 1: that we have to support, we have to be in
Speaker 1: solidarity with all of these workers who are trying to
Speaker 1: unionize right now, because right now, the stakes are people
Speaker 1: at Chipotle, fucking medieval times, you name it. There are
Speaker 1: there are many many places that are doing this, but
Speaker 1: the pushback from the corporations is is is massive because
Speaker 1: a lot of people saw Starbucks as like one of
Speaker 1: those first dominoes. They have so many stores that if
Speaker 1: people started unionizing there, that means a lot of other
Speaker 1: companies are gonna have to be like ship Now, we
Speaker 1: gotta do humane treatment. And you know, when you put
Speaker 1: dominoes in the mind of a capitalists, that that that's
Speaker 1: bad news if you're annoyed with a rationale for for
Speaker 1: for Vietnam, or the no idea, of course, the nooid.
Speaker 1: But when they when they talk about something being a domino,
Speaker 1: they tend to take it very seriously. And yeah, man
Speaker 1: it there's like a National Labor Relations Board that is
Speaker 1: supposed to be able to enforce some of these laws,
Speaker 1: but it's like, you know, it's like the f d A,
Speaker 1: it's like any of the you know, things that are
Speaker 1: supposed to look at nutrition in our country and like
Speaker 1: enforced nutritional standards that like they don't have any funding.
Speaker 1: They're funded in the like hundreds of thousands of dollars,
Speaker 1: and they're going up against multibillion dollar corporations. Like that's
Speaker 1: how the thing has been built. Budget has not been
Speaker 1: increased since right you you put inflation in their running
Speaker 1: at like they're like a three force of their capacity
Speaker 1: at this point. And not to mention right like all there,
Speaker 1: and again, Starbucks is flooding the fucking zone with ship
Speaker 1: like Steve Bannon does. They're they're they're doing so many
Speaker 1: violations that just in like that Buffalo area where that
Speaker 1: first store decided to unionize, that got over two hundred
Speaker 1: legal violations. They gotta fucking sort of through just in
Speaker 1: that area alone because they're like, yeah, watching deal with that.
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't got enough people to do all
Speaker 1: this ship, and they gotta handle like Trader Joe's, Amazon, Apple,
Speaker 1: ri E I, all these other like private employers that
Speaker 1: are like also contending with union movements inside. So because
Speaker 1: of that too, there's not even a mechanism that is
Speaker 1: even dissuading a company like starbroocks Starbucks from being like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: this ship do whatever we want what they're gonna do
Speaker 1: with their three people. So I mean we need to
Speaker 1: for reil be boycotting Starbucks right like straight up, like
Speaker 1: that's yeah, yeah, I mean that that's that's step one,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, if you you gotta,
Speaker 1: if you really want to, if you really want to
Speaker 1: support these people, there are uh there is a like
Speaker 1: a pledge you can sign, but again it's really about
Speaker 1: like if you have you know, the ability to educate
Speaker 1: people and ship like that and know what the stakes are.
Speaker 1: Is really getting engaged with that. But yeah, what were saying.
Speaker 1: I was saying, like I love that defense, being like, well,
Speaker 1: if we treat these people like humans that we can't
Speaker 1: be profitable. It's like all right, well your business models
Speaker 1: flawed then, right, I mean, isn't that how we should
Speaker 1: be thinking about it? I would love I would love
Speaker 1: for some people, so maybe you can put some political
Speaker 1: pressure on it. They like have like a baseline. I
Speaker 1: know it's not going to work. It's just like a fantasy.
Speaker 1: But how amazing would it be if there was like
Speaker 1: a national push to get the federal government involved to
Speaker 1: regulate some of these business practices. You know, it's insane.
Speaker 1: Or put a sexier number up for minimum wage, right,
Speaker 1: say minimum wage is twenty eight dollars an hour, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's minimum or any if you're making less than that
Speaker 1: there's some sort of like there's some tax credit that
Speaker 1: you can get where they can help you get to
Speaker 1: that number, you know what I mean, like say, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I would love for there to be some kind
Speaker 1: of way for the federal government to get involved and
Speaker 1: not just trying to shut these businesses down because we
Speaker 1: don't want that either. We want these jobs. At the
Speaker 1: same time, we also want them to provide a their
Speaker 1: their basic function, which is to help these people live
Speaker 1: a life. It's not fair that many people have to
Speaker 1: have like at least two three jobs. Man, it's not fair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, you know then that's the constant thing, right,
Speaker 1: Like the government could mandate something, but the people that
Speaker 1: are elected to do it, you know, if they're coming
Speaker 1: from the Washington area, a lot of Bucks money, a
Speaker 1: lot of Bucks bucks going through their coffers, and then
Speaker 1: it ends up muddying everything and muddies the process. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it. You know, we're we're just constantly being
Speaker 1: like kind of going back and forth. We're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out like what is humane for us, what isn't
Speaker 1: And to your point, aimn Like Amazon, they at one
Speaker 1: of their where houses they were trying to shut down
Speaker 1: a union drive the money they spent, if they just
Speaker 1: invested that in the workforce, the people would have been complaining.
Speaker 1: But again because they see it as like, well, long term,
Speaker 1: if I got to start paying people a lot of
Speaker 1: money or you know, quote unquote, it eats into the
Speaker 1: bottom line. That means there's less less money for us
Speaker 1: to come up with demonic facial recognition technology or whatever
Speaker 1: the funk we're trying to sell to the Pentagon. It's
Speaker 1: just like, I mean, what is the counter argument, right,
Speaker 1: The kind of argument is if we pay people here
Speaker 1: decent enough to survive, then those businesses will just go
Speaker 1: overseas where labor is cheaper. Right. I think there should
Speaker 1: be some penalties for doing stuff like that. I think
Speaker 1: there should just be ways for the government where it's
Speaker 1: I see this as the government's job. It shouldn't be
Speaker 1: on the workers to have to fight throwing employers because
Speaker 1: it's an unfair fight. Right, what they're doing is amazing,
Speaker 1: but that's it's not shouldn't be on them to get
Speaker 1: the bare minimum, you know, And sadly that's but I
Speaker 1: think that's the reality we've been in since time immemorial
Speaker 1: in this place. You know what, I mean, like it's
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be like the robber bearing class who
Speaker 1: doesn't give a fuck there, you know, lighting cigars with
Speaker 1: stacks of money, and you know it's meanwhile working people
Speaker 1: toil and are stuck in this like really fucked up cycle.
Speaker 1: But it's the I guess the one interesting thing or
Speaker 1: the one heartening thing, is that you see how many
Speaker 1: people are beginning to get in touch with the fact
Speaker 1: that this is an option, that there is something they
Speaker 1: can do. There is a way to organize again. Whether
Speaker 1: or not that's the be all, end all solution, that's
Speaker 1: to be determined, but I think that's why it's really
Speaker 1: important for many people who if you have the same feeling,
Speaker 1: like you look at the world and you feel it's
Speaker 1: unjust and people aren't paid right like a decent wage
Speaker 1: because you see, everything is about protecting the profits and
Speaker 1: shareholder value, then you've got to really, you know, really
Speaker 1: look at this moment right now and figure out how
Speaker 1: you can support them, because if this, if they're able
Speaker 1: to blunt this momentum, that would be mean. It took deck,
Speaker 1: Like you know, this is like revival and organized labor.
Speaker 1: It was a long time coming and a lot of
Speaker 1: people felt very relieved, but again they're spending a lot
Speaker 1: of money to ensure that it's no more than just
Speaker 1: like these couple hundred stores and they can, you know,
Speaker 1: flip the switch right back. Yeah, it's these gen zers. Man,
Speaker 1: They're not gonna blunt that. Dude. There's no way like
Speaker 1: the fact that there's a labor shortage. No, man, these
Speaker 1: these kids ain't playing I know. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That like their their whole ship of like the quiet quitting.
Speaker 1: We were talking about that on the Trends episode the
Speaker 1: other day of just like where they're like, yeah, my
Speaker 1: whole thing is like I'm not I'm not busting my
Speaker 1: ass more than I have to fuck that Yeah, nothing
Speaker 1: like but why would Yeah, but I was like indoctrinated
Speaker 1: with the idea like you do that to show your
Speaker 1: value to them, and then maybe they will give you
Speaker 1: a little lick of a nutrient bar right to sustain
Speaker 1: your life. Then they treat you in humanely and then
Speaker 1: you work even harder. Yeah, And I think that's the
Speaker 1: thing is like slowly rationally taking that ship out of
Speaker 1: your head. Because again, we still look at this relationship
Speaker 1: between employer and employee have been like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for even giving me a job. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just happy to be in the room when that's
Speaker 1: just not even okay. You know, my cousin just quit
Speaker 1: his job. He used to work at a pharmacy, and
Speaker 1: we were all like proud of him, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean for being a pharmacist or for quitting his job.
Speaker 1: I was proud of him for getting a job in pharmacy.
Speaker 1: You got I got it because before that he was
Speaker 1: doing like weird. You know, I was working at McDonald's
Speaker 1: for a while and nothing, there's anything wrong with it.
Speaker 1: We just he had a college degree, so we were like,
Speaker 1: you should be doing something. We wanted him to think
Speaker 1: about a career, you know, but for him, again, nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with a career McDonald's either. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying we we're putting pressure on him to
Speaker 1: to get a job in pharmacy. What do you think
Speaker 1: that's healthy or not? I don't know, but that's what
Speaker 1: we did. And when he didn't get a job in pharmacy,
Speaker 1: he was like, funk, this man, we have to like
Speaker 1: show up and they say if we show up like
Speaker 1: three minutes late, like three times in a row. That's
Speaker 1: three strikes and were fired. And so he just stopped
Speaker 1: going and he was like, funk this. I quit. And
Speaker 1: I was like confused. I was like, what the hell
Speaker 1: is wrong with you? Man? Like you need to you
Speaker 1: need to be disciplined. You gotta if they need to
Speaker 1: show up three minutes, you got to show up. And
Speaker 1: he was like nah. And he moved to South Carolina
Speaker 1: and he just had got a bunch of roommates and
Speaker 1: he's he got another job doing something else and he's
Speaker 1: I've seen him on Instagram. He's living his life. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, fun, man, I want to do that for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he's like he just went, he just like
Speaker 1: left the country twice. You still let him know that
Speaker 1: he brought shame on the family, right, Still still make
Speaker 1: sure you let him know like that he fucked up.
Speaker 1: But it's coming out of a place of jealousy. But
Speaker 1: you're not playing man. They are connected to each other
Speaker 1: into their own personal lives and well beings and ways
Speaker 1: that I just don't even understand. And you know, like
Speaker 1: they I hate to general I'm just keep talking about
Speaker 1: my cousin. He understands that life is bigger than money,
Speaker 1: and life is bigger than housing, and all he wants
Speaker 1: to do is like travel, And so he got this
Speaker 1: raggedy ASCAR and he's just driving from place to place
Speaker 1: doing like you know, I think he does, like tutoring online,
Speaker 1: doing like just a couple of jobs here and there,
Speaker 1: just to pay for gas and for the minimum foods,
Speaker 1: and he's happy as hell. Yeah, I'm thinking over here
Speaker 1: is like, oh what about your four oh one k?
Speaker 1: What about retirement? What about all this? You know, And
Speaker 1: it's not even on his mind. And I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of Gen's ears are like that. So these
Speaker 1: corporations are there, they might think that they might have
Speaker 1: the upper hand, but I don't know if that's true. Man,
Speaker 1: if I could just get five minutes to talk to
Speaker 1: him about all the good things that Wall Street and
Speaker 1: the four oh one K and all that should have done,
Speaker 1: oh man. But yeah, I mean it's just shows like right,
Speaker 1: like every generation, right, we look at our parents and
Speaker 1: go trying doing that, you know what I mean. That's
Speaker 1: just that's just the way life works. Like you're like
Speaker 1: that is too much, right, Like what y'all were doing?
Speaker 1: Hell no, And I think that's why people obviously be
Speaker 1: in to you know, like we'd were, We're happier, obviously
Speaker 1: technologically our lives are easier. But I'm sure with every
Speaker 1: subsequent generation they look at something that is normal to
Speaker 1: the previous generations and they're like, that is the most
Speaker 1: absurd shout I've ever heard of. The funk are y'all
Speaker 1: talking about? And I know, like me growing up, you know,
Speaker 1: the eighties baby, in the nineties and ship like that,
Speaker 1: I was very much like, yeah, man, you gotta go
Speaker 1: to college, get your job and doing your thing and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and life is like that and it'll
Speaker 1: be fair. Then I graduate when the recession hits and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, this is none of this ship makes sense.
Speaker 1: But I'm still like using this like mindset of the
Speaker 1: you know, worker like in America ship, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: it took me on a wild journey to the point
Speaker 1: where I'm like, maybe I just want to be creative.
Speaker 1: And that's where I landed. My parents didn't even spend
Speaker 1: thirty percent of their annual budget on avocado toast. You
Speaker 1: believe that what I'm like, what is wrong with you?
