Speaker 1: into america shared consciousness. It's Friday, August fifth, two. If
Speaker 1: you're selling, if you're celebrating eight five trying to stay alive,
Speaker 1: just so you know, it's National Oyster Day, National Underwear Day,

Speaker 1: leave in hard work and pulling yourself up by your
Speaker 1: blue straps, by your dog straps, by your dog. Pull
Speaker 1: yourself up by your dog is I guess the scruff
Speaker 1: of your own neck. That makes more sense, Like I
Speaker 1: can conceive it like, yep, like bootstraps. I don't have
Speaker 1: a bootstrap. I don't wear boots, but I got neck,
Speaker 1: I got neck gruff. Yeah it isn't that. I hate
Speaker 1: if it isn't that the origin of the that's the
Speaker 1: whole original statement of pull yourself up by yours. It's
Speaker 1: meant to be like, because you can't do that, and
Speaker 1: we're like, no, no, that's perfect. You can't do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's you can't. You can't do yourself out of a
Speaker 1: problem that is systemic. Can't anyway, So what's trap on
Speaker 1: the boot? I don't know what a strap on the
Speaker 1: boot is. Even if I had boots, I ain't ever
Speaker 1: seen the strap. Isn't it like those weird little hoops

Speaker 1: to be, but like just the life where you can say,
Speaker 1: I am going to go out and just live my
Speaker 1: life in the exact way I want. Like I personally
Speaker 1: I would love to have that like on a beach
Speaker 1: house and to say, like, this is my little spot,
Speaker 1: what would I do? Like how would you like? Because
Speaker 1: I think about that all the time, right, Like if
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, could I just go somewhere and just
Speaker 1: be like I want to live here more than I
Speaker 1: want to do some other ship, So like I could
Speaker 1: definitely scale back what I do and focus on one thing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, could I be a fisherman? Or how
Speaker 1: do I how do I exist on the beach? Would
Speaker 1: you what are gonna do? You're gonna tea him? I
Speaker 1: would know I would do nothing. I would do nothing.
Speaker 1: I I very much think that, like, if I can
Speaker 1: amass enough grace and money in my career, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: definitely go old actor oute and just retire at like
Speaker 1: fifty five or sixty and live my life and then
Speaker 1: come to a movie again when I'm eighty and die
Speaker 1: like like come doing like coming back to the screen
Speaker 1: for the first time in thirty years, and then get
Speaker 1: Oscar nominated and then pass away before the Academy Awards.
Speaker 1: Like that feels like the ultimate to Betty White get
Speaker 1: on the cover of People for your hundred birthday and yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely short was Betty to a hundred? Like it
Speaker 1: was really close. Yeah, they jinked, they ed as they jinked,
Speaker 1: like the timing arts and stop drinking water, the best
Speaker 1: comedian of all, the Ultimate light Death. When you get
Speaker 1: that one, it's your time, Okay, Caitlin. Before we get
Speaker 1: to know even better, we are going to tell people
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Just have to check in with
Speaker 1: Florida Rhonda Santis continues the culture war. This time he's
Speaker 1: talking about drag queens and veterans for very different reasons,
Speaker 1: but with the same originary stress point, which is what
Speaker 1: what about our kids? And we'll get into that. Then
Speaker 1: a quick update on the Alex Jones thing. I know
Speaker 1: we talked about what happened in court, and I read
Speaker 1: the court transcript of what happened after we recorded the
Speaker 1: video came out. The video is even fucking what Gene
Speaker 1: Wilder if I made because why watching his space as
Speaker 1: he realizes his whole ship has been sucked up is
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing. And there's a little more detail to
Speaker 1: that that we have, So we'll go over that. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that and much more, I'm sure, But first,
Speaker 1: what's something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are? Yesterday I swapped out my car's alternator, so
Speaker 1: my search history on like every possible platform is just
Speaker 1: like how to alternator, And I realized I had a
Speaker 1: very specific problem and that I was searching for my
Speaker 1: cars alternator, which means I was typing in two thousand
Speaker 1: thirteen Honda fit alternator. And now the Internet can go
Speaker 1: a couple of different directions with a search like that,
Speaker 1: and one of them is to show me responses that
Speaker 1: are applicable to my Honda fit, and the other is
Speaker 1: to read that sentences two thousand thirteen fit alternator Like essentially,
Speaker 1: I got every search result that involved the word Honda
Speaker 1: and fit. So if an alternator fit a hond accord,
Speaker 1: well I got that search response too, So it was
Speaker 1: My search history is very It's just different sentences trying
Speaker 1: to me. There's some kind of bracketing or like quotation
Speaker 1: marking I could have done to better delineate, but instead
Speaker 1: of learning, I just smashed the keyboard angrily with different
Speaker 1: combinations of those words until I found a video did
Speaker 1: you do a keyword search? Well, I mean I just
Speaker 1: yelled at the search bar. I didn't say I was
Speaker 1: show I actually have not. There's this there's this Christian
Speaker 1: woman that's like kind of like one of the main
Speaker 1: characters right now. But there's like the scene is how
Speaker 1: much of a spoiler where she just talks about how
Speaker 1: like she's against Halloween because she's so Christian and she's like,
Speaker 1: you know, because it's a Satanist thing, and Nathan Fielders
Speaker 1: just like is it, Like I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: it is. I just google that and I didn't see
Speaker 1: that that's what came up. And she was so smugly.
Speaker 1: He's like, well, did you do a keyword search? And
Speaker 1: it's like I love that, Like that's the mindset of
Speaker 1: like contrarian people who like when the information that they like,
Speaker 1: that they think is out there isn't there, Like well
Speaker 1: then I got a brute force keywords or just I'm
Speaker 1: only going to find the confirmation bias ship that's out there.
Speaker 1: So anyway, keywordar how was how How easy was the
Speaker 1: change in the alternator? Relatively easy. I did have assistance
Speaker 1: from a buddy who is good at such things, so
Speaker 1: it is very nice. When I say I did it,
Speaker 1: I mean I helped my friend do it and carry
Speaker 1: beverages and reach for some tools, took some pictures, did
Speaker 1: some video hunt. It was a team effort and I
Speaker 1: I was on the I was on the team for sure.
Speaker 1: For sure, it was relatively easy. It's you know, held
Speaker 1: in by like three screws. You gotta get the belt
Speaker 1: off and then you gotta get that all back on. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean it is what it is wild Like honestly, YouTube,
Speaker 1: if you have the patients and the time. Oh you
Speaker 1: have the patience and the time and and and more
Speaker 1: the patients because you know you're probably sunk up like
Speaker 1: one or whatever. But if you have the patience at
Speaker 1: the time, you can literally build a car with YouTube.
Speaker 1: Like with YouTube, like it's it's kind of insane. How
Speaker 1: much like auto work is online for you to just
Speaker 1: replicate I tell myself screen printing in the last two
Speaker 1: years from every step, just like what to buy, how
Speaker 1: to do it, how to do it when you screw up,
Speaker 1: what how not to screw up, how to do it good?
Speaker 1: Just every step. Yeah. Yeah, because I just looked on YouTube,
Speaker 1: I said Honda Fit alternator change and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: ship there, dip see where we go. That's every I
Speaker 1: mean I learned I think about too, Like even how
Speaker 1: that changes sports too, Like we see kids playing sports now,
Speaker 1: where like basketball players have all kinds of skills that
Speaker 1: used to think was just at one position or you see,
Speaker 1: like just in general, kids are like now you've learning
Speaker 1: more technique just by passively like ingesting YouTube and ship
Speaker 1: like that. And I just think of like all the
Speaker 1: things I missed out on by not having YouTube, but
Speaker 1: also what I was saved from by not having YouTube
Speaker 1: as a child. So it's a double edged It requires
Speaker 1: to media literacy to use appropriately. Yeah, because I feel
Speaker 1: like I would be get caught into like how to
Speaker 1: do the sham god dribble like YouTube videos as a
Speaker 1: kid and then end up on like some Alex Jones ship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That algorithm is just like it just creates, it knows
Speaker 1: how to just be like, oh, sham God, Oh your
Speaker 1: God is a sham welcome to the hell it. You're like, whoa, whoa? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what something you think is underrated? Caitlin underrated the sunrise?
Speaker 1: M I think John gets a bad rap because it's
Speaker 1: early and listen, get up, look at it, go back
Speaker 1: to bed. You're a you're free, go watch the movement
Speaker 1: of your planet, bring a star interview, and then just
Speaker 1: go lay down. Why you're okay, this makes sense out
Speaker 1: You're you're since you're you're a desert dweller. Now you're
Speaker 1: getting some nice views, I'm sure. Oh yeah. Well, so
Speaker 1: the thing I do out here, I do astronomy tours,
Speaker 1: like the job a tailor of laser out pointed at
Speaker 1: the stars, know all the stars names. Now I can
Speaker 1: drop constellations and stuff. So fun. Do you want to
Speaker 1: know deep space facts? I will tell them to you.
Speaker 1: We're telling you I don't know them humorously. That is
Speaker 1: my skill set that I'm bringing to the table. But
Speaker 1: I learned such quickly, and I'm usually pretty good at
Speaker 1: not knowing things too. I'm not lying when I say, well,
Speaker 1: next time out there, I'm I'll meet you up, and
Speaker 1: I'm like real quick with two telescopes and a bunch
Speaker 1: of snacks, nice chairs. Come on, it's pretty good. I
Speaker 1: love astronomy. It is like if if if I was
Speaker 1: to go into another field and besides just like the
Speaker 1: workforce or entertainment and like go to another career that
Speaker 1: I could dedicate my life too, it would have been astronomy.
Speaker 1: Space like astrod not want to be kids. I was.
Speaker 1: I had a telescope and everything. When I was like
Speaker 1: it's early adult, it was just beauty. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: space is very in to me. The Cartwheel Galaxy maybe underrated.
Speaker 1: It is James wife underrated. I'll throw that in as
Speaker 1: a little start. I hope people are really just about it.
Speaker 1: If you're not Jess about Web, it's a good time
Speaker 1: to get jazzed about Webb, right right right. I know
Speaker 1: people will be like James Webb, the person debatable, Okay,
Speaker 1: any person from fifty years seventy years ago from you know,
Speaker 1: I get that. Just let's focus on the motherfucking pictures, please,
Speaker 1: I do agree, like there are also Okay, So I
Speaker 1: did watch the release without you know, I won't I could,
Speaker 1: I won't go to d but I did watch the
Speaker 1: release when put out the initial first five photos, and
Speaker 1: it was adorable watching NASA try to handle this like
Speaker 1: multimedia multi continental live release event. They tried so hard
Speaker 1: and look, zoom isn't easy exactly, but this isn't something
Speaker 1: uns science and I'm not surprised that they just picked
Speaker 1: name and telescope. Hubble is also named after a person,
Speaker 1: but that person was named Hubble, so it really has
Speaker 1: a pup, you know, like Web just doesn't come with
Speaker 1: the same it doesn't have the same kind of definitely
Speaker 1: not intert era for sure, but get into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're not looking at web stuff, I oh man,
Speaker 1: so please do Yeah, I like I feel like that's
Speaker 1: like a I don't know, I took like a mental
Speaker 1: vacation just staring very deeply at that and feeling so small,
Speaker 1: and like that's what I come for. Do you wanna
Speaker 1: do you want to help with that? We're not small?
Speaker 1: Were that the universe is exactly the size that has
Speaker 1: to be to make us. If we're a representation of
Speaker 1: all this elemental complexity. It takes all that room for
Speaker 1: all those stars to live and then go blue and
Speaker 1: then cool off and then get reformed again. So we
Speaker 1: are a reflection of the size of the universe. Our size.
Speaker 1: It's not so small. I think I use that to
Speaker 1: give myself perspective in terms of like de centering myself
Speaker 1: from my own you know. But you still don't matter
Speaker 1: in the terms of yeah, yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't matter. Thank you don't matter. But it's okay,
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a big We are the size
Speaker 1: we are because it is that. But very simbilistically, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds like something a lot of men would need
Speaker 1: to hear. It's the right size that needs to be
Speaker 1: based on the fucking universe. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Man,
Speaker 1: I still wanted to be big. I still want to
Speaker 1: be big. All that man, jump up that man. I
Speaker 1: wanted to show my want. I want my solar system
Speaker 1: to be big. Still matter for something? Right? Uh? And
Speaker 1: then finally, what if something do you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Caitlyn gil Okay, okay, So, in spite of being jazzed
Speaker 1: about hubble, I'm gonna say this thing is overrated. It's
Speaker 1: the nineties. I'm worried. There's a creaming sense of nineties
Speaker 1: nostalgia just walking through the culture like it's totally deal,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know. Nineties. I remember I
Speaker 1: was there, I remember her, I remember the fashion. I
Speaker 1: remember that I'm a gay. Oh, I remember the movies.
Speaker 1: I remember. You just can't I was, I was, It
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't you know. Look, there was that summer
Speaker 1: where we all got to go to Jurassic Park a bunch,
Speaker 1: and I agree that was really fun. But I don't
Speaker 1: think we can say that the whole decade was awesome
Speaker 1: and worth cause playing I just want to be cushion.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, what do you see? What are the parts?
Speaker 1: Are you? Like traffic keepers? And oh look at my
Speaker 1: little round glasses and my pants are boot cut now
Speaker 1: and I know where this is going and the handle
Speaker 1: of your pants is gonna drag through the rain and
Speaker 1: it's gonna tatter and fray, and the stages are chunky
Speaker 1: and none of those and we can't get do they?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, can I can I say? Can I
Speaker 1: say the parts that I I'm going to rattle off
Speaker 1: a list of because like things like traffer keepers and
Speaker 1: she's like that, like whatever, I'm susceptible. I just want
Speaker 1: to I saw before I slide back in time. So
Speaker 1: here's here's the parts of the nineties that I miss
Speaker 1: as the nineties kid. I'm an eighties babies nineties kid,
Speaker 1: right eighty one? Ye ye yes, So like the things
Speaker 1: like miss have been on all the things I miss
Speaker 1: about necessarily or didn't that on nostalgia to me about
Speaker 1: the nineties aren't necessarily the fashion or anything like that
Speaker 1: is mostly just like entertainment, Like I grew up like
Speaker 1: Nickelodeon was like at his height during the wrestling w
Speaker 1: WF was that his height during that time, and you know,
Speaker 1: and like things don't age well but like uh like
Speaker 1: even ship like like going to piece of hut used
Speaker 1: to be dope because it used to have like the
Speaker 1: the and like, and now piece of huts are all
Speaker 1: like all the restaurants are just like cookie cutter, commercial
Speaker 1: like commercialized. I remember the nineties. I remember the nineties
Speaker 1: when we're saying, yeah, but the seventies, the music and
Speaker 1: the restaurant Donald's just gone down hill. You never had
Speaker 1: the b fat fries and oh my god, I remember
Speaker 1: the playlands and oh the highways. I had some cars
Speaker 1: like that. We remember. We can find three. I'm just
Speaker 1: talking to the youth, the children. But we'll have our
Speaker 1: memories of what was good of the nineties. But don't
Speaker 1: don't listen to us. It was. It was overall not
Speaker 1: an era. Union were back in the seventies. They were
Speaker 1: still good dog day afternoon. They just won't make that
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four, as of our dogs. They ever
Speaker 1: make that. In two minding in twenty two they're making
Speaker 1: clause of fury, which is supposed to be blazing sattles,
Speaker 1: which makes me angry deeply inside. So I'm not saying
Speaker 1: now is great. I'm just saying the nineties is overrated. Sure,
Speaker 1: if totally get that. I think also to like Jakie's like,
Speaker 1: I definitely I feel you on like the media part
Speaker 1: of it, right because but there were more black shows
Speaker 1: in the nineties, Like I feel like I feel like
Speaker 1: black TV was better than the nineties than it is
Speaker 1: now like a start now, but yeah, because it used
Speaker 1: to be on network TV, whereas now it's like what
Speaker 1: smattering of streaming services do you need to have to
Speaker 1: support black TV or support anything that isn't you know,
Speaker 1: like traditional like sort of white driven media. But I
Speaker 1: think like the thing that I really missed was the
Speaker 1: idea that they were like fucking sixty fucking channels and
Speaker 1: I could just be like, fucking man, like I'll passively
Speaker 1: ingest this propaganda right now because there's no commercials on
Speaker 1: because of the other ship. But yeah, I definitely like
Speaker 1: it's the the overload of options that really funks with me,
Speaker 1: like in adulthood to like I get over them, like
Speaker 1: becoming nert. I think you know what Caitlin I think,
Speaker 1: and I'm not disagreeing with you, Like I think like
Speaker 1: nostalgia tends to have us hype in our own errors
Speaker 1: more than like and doing the same ship that we said. Man,
Speaker 1: I wish our parents would shut the funk up, like
Speaker 1: we're doing the same ship, Like, oh, what y'all know
Speaker 1: about this? Though, what y'all know about what don't know
Speaker 1: about this? Like we do all the same ship, and
Speaker 1: like this generation before after us is going to do
Speaker 1: the same ship to the generations after them, like it's
Speaker 1: it's a circle of life. But I do think I
Speaker 1: think that the reason why the nineties probably gets that through.
Speaker 1: I mean every decade does, but the eighties and nineties
Speaker 1: probably get looked at were rose color glasses a lot more,
Speaker 1: especially from our generation, is because I think it was
Speaker 1: the last generation in the last time frame, in decade
Speaker 1: before the big technological boom, right like once the IPI
Speaker 1: came out in two thousand one, that was hit. Technology
Speaker 1: was not left that right, not eleven and the I
Speaker 1: pought all that ships like everything everything stems from Like
Speaker 1: two thousand one, that's one technology said, Oh why to
Speaker 1: J didn't wipe us out? Great, let's go forward. I
Speaker 1: think you just vote Chris Jericho. Oh yeah, k k
Speaker 1: K not why to J not Chris Jeriica, why jet
Speaker 1: But given that, right, the nostalgia because the other thing
Speaker 1: that I think with the eighties and nineties, right, a
Speaker 1: lot of Gen xers boomers of the eighties because the
Speaker 1: Reagan and many people attained their wealth in the eighties,
Speaker 1: so they love the eight and like, you know, have
Speaker 1: this like yeah, spooky version of Reagan in their mind
Speaker 1: that they love to name streets after and ship. And
Speaker 1: then in the nineties is kids, economy was like seemingly
Speaker 1: not fucked up enough, where like the horrors of our imbalance,
Speaker 1: like our inequalities or like front and center. So I
Speaker 1: think that's like another part is like we just shed
Speaker 1: layers of innocence as we get deeper. But I'm curious
Speaker 1: if kids like gen like what zoomers and be like
Speaker 1: man y'all were, like, I don't know, the nostalgia over
Speaker 1: that era is going to be interesting to witness. Will
Speaker 1: be like fifty eight so nobody's going to care what
Speaker 1: I have to say, but I will be fascinated, right
Speaker 1: right right, I feel like they're I feel like kids
Speaker 1: today aren't going to have as much nostalgia just because
Speaker 1: like time moves quicker now than a day, and when
Speaker 1: we were kids. I think they will, right, I feel
Speaker 1: like it's part of it will before something different. It's
Speaker 1: not going to be the same like show we all saw,
Speaker 1: but it will be a vibe, you know, like you know,
Speaker 1: they they'll have had an experience like that, but they'll
Speaker 1: have watched in a video or they'll have enjoyed a
Speaker 1: show like that, but it'll be a different one or whatever,
Speaker 1: so they'll know the feeling, which I think in about
Speaker 1: the same nostalgia and do we go with that, like
Speaker 1: the idea like you're saying, like back in the nineties,
Speaker 1: like what do you know about the seventies? And then
Speaker 1: you get like that seventies show? Well, guess you know,
Speaker 1: now we're going to have that fucking nineties show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it's funny, fine, you know, but better do
Speaker 1: it right? Yeah? Let I love this. I love this
Speaker 1: overrated though, I love this overrated this, I mean, yeah, cautionary,
Speaker 1: it's it's not it's not with malice, it's just just yeah,
Speaker 1: it's right. I love and yeah, the aesthetic I kind
Speaker 1: of love. But still I'm waiting for the odds so
Speaker 1: fully come back. Because I have boxes of clothes in
Speaker 1: my mom's garage where I will look like the most
Speaker 1: fashionable motherfucker out here. They'll be like skimped it. I
Speaker 1: got a lot of old jackets. But that's kind of
Speaker 1: wait till I wait till I put on a three
Speaker 1: x Sean John t shirt to loose Trading Company. If
Speaker 1: it doesn't have a crutch, guss it hell out of here.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm leading, I'm bending. I'm squatting. Love, I love.
Speaker 1: I absolutely needed for liberal missions. Yeah, it is a freedom.
Speaker 1: Can I also say Michael Michael Jordan and the Bulls
Speaker 1: wearing the nineties? So you know, trying and I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: diss my rouge. But worry no one, no one was
Speaker 1: gonna come with you, be like, really, jerkys all my
Speaker 1: Chicago people don't think. I don't think. You know, I
Speaker 1: didn't know what that prose about the nineties too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah that I'm an oakland A fan. Just to acknowledge
Speaker 1: that I know about ears that are in the past.
Speaker 1: I know that sometimes you have to although I have
Speaker 1: no idea, are they're doing good? How are they doing?
Speaker 1: Are not doing great? They're not doing great? My heart winners.
Speaker 1: You know what, just think of Ricky Henderson and Dennis
Speaker 1: eckers Leave, you know, the best, you know, thank God,
Speaker 1: thank you that I didn't know that they could be
Speaker 1: weird jerks. I didn't know. So the bead Brothers were
Speaker 1: very exciting time. Yeah, Ricky, are they okay? Yeah? People,
Speaker 1: we gotta cancel. Like Dennis Eckersley, like I would believe
Speaker 1: like he was like Darre on January six, you know,
Speaker 1: because his whole style, Like I was like, what's what's
Speaker 1: he about? But sorry, I don't know. He's from Okland, Okay,
Speaker 1: he gotta be all right, alright, alright, eck uh. Let
Speaker 1: us know if you guys a Dennis Eckersley update, please
Speaker 1: as I hit us up. All right, let's take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back to talk about Florida. And we're back.
Speaker 1: Let's check in with Florida Sunshine State. Um Rhonda Santis
Speaker 1: their governor. And you know someone who's got Donald Trump
Speaker 1: looking over his shoulder, he is, you know, he continues
Speaker 1: his culture war at full steam. As I think it's
Speaker 1: part of his you know, brand building is to always
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I'm gonna make this a big issue
Speaker 1: and make a big fuss about it and try and
Speaker 1: oppress people just for being who they are. And the
Speaker 1: rights obsession with groomers has recently spilled over, as we've
Speaker 1: seen into a panic over drag queens, whether it's you know,
Speaker 1: drag queen library book time or in this case, drag
Speaker 1: brunches in the state of Florida. And at first we
Speaker 1: were talking about like teachers, Dryando santists, Like a lot
Speaker 1: of people were accusing teachers of fucking being groomers because
Speaker 1: they deigned to acknowledge the existence of trans or gay
Speaker 1: people on Earth. Uh, and that was always being used
Speaker 1: as like a prod to keep people outraged. We're gonna
Speaker 1: say some Oh no, I was just gasping at the notions, like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was seriously me So two different issues, but still
Speaker 1: sort of like being energized by this core belief that
Speaker 1: anything that's about accepting anybody means you're a groomer. Like
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty much how they're looking at things. So
Speaker 1: let's start with the drag leeds. He has really had
Speaker 1: it out for anything that isn't normative. SIS had activity.
Speaker 1: He recently lost it after seeing like a TikTok video
Speaker 1: where a five year old girl was at brunch like
Speaker 1: with her I'm I think her parents. Uh it was
Speaker 1: a drag brunch, having fun, just enjoying the sites because
Speaker 1: it's a good fucking time. And the Santists had to
Speaker 1: process this moment through his like crystal fascist brain. I
Speaker 1: was like, and he's like, these parents are dangerous. This
Speaker 1: restaurant is a den of iniquity and must be punished.
Speaker 1: And so the restaurant question is now currently in a
Speaker 1: battle with the state to keep their liquor license. Because
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santists was like, yo, they like, what am I
Speaker 1: seeing here? A drag brunch. That's being what they said,
Speaker 1: being marketed towards children, because they had a kid's menu
Speaker 1: for the drag brunch. It's being market So this is
Speaker 1: now a drag because we all know six year olds
Speaker 1: love going to going to fucking brunch. They don't but okay,
Speaker 1: And so part of trying to get this liquor license revoked,
Speaker 1: they basically like evoked this old Supreme Court decision that
Speaker 1: was like aimed at, like in the forties, aimed at
Speaker 1: what the time was like called a female impersonator show.
Speaker 1: And this was something that was like super campy and
Speaker 1: in fact, like local politicians, senators and ship even went
Speaker 1: to these shows. But at the time some of the
Speaker 1: local you know, close minded people were like, it's again
Speaker 1: following a very similar pattern we see today, which is
Speaker 1: first going it's a public nuisance, it's lewd and indecent,
Speaker 1: and because of that, it's causing our children to slip
Speaker 1: into delinquency. Those are the words used back then and
Speaker 1: pretty much the same sort of scare tactics are being
Speaker 1: used now and that again, so because of this, they
Speaker 1: were just forced to close down. They were sort of
Speaker 1: like going back and forth with the government saying we'll
Speaker 1: clean this up, Okay, we'll do this that it ultimately
Speaker 1: ended with a getting shut down. So that's what they're
Speaker 1: referring to to try and shut this placed down. And
Speaker 1: it's never been used as grounds to shut down a
Speaker 1: club prior to that. This is just something Rhonda Santiss
Speaker 1: Goon Army had to try and find, like some grounds
Speaker 1: to try and afflict pain on this place that parents
Speaker 1: brought their kids to, which again I think most people
Speaker 1: would bring up as they see this. The SANTIS is
Speaker 1: always about parents rights when it's about vaccines or like
Speaker 1: what they teach in schools. But in this instance, it's
Speaker 1: not about what a parent thinks is appropriate or fine
Speaker 1: for their own child to go to a drag brunch.
Speaker 1: But this isn't about like consistency of thought. This is
Speaker 1: just coordinated oppression disguised as quote unquote policy. So that's,
Speaker 1: you know, no need to get up in arms about
Speaker 1: the hypocrisy of it all, because it's not hypocrisy. They
Speaker 1: want they want one world to look a very specific way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I listen. You know, we live in a world
Speaker 1: where things aren't surprising anymore, still infuriating, not surprising, right,
Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily know if that's a good place
Speaker 1: to be, especially as a member of an oppressed group
Speaker 1: where you're just not surprised by ship anymore. Right, But
Speaker 1: you know, so I sometimes I try to look at
Speaker 1: these things from a perspective of where are you fighting against? Right,
Speaker 1: Like you're you're fighting against motherfucker's having waffles and orange
Speaker 1: juice and watching people, you know, for lack of a
Speaker 1: better term, dress up like that's like what what? Like
Speaker 1: I I don't I don't understand like what the cruise?
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand it, and I get the you know,
Speaker 1: the homophobic and transphobic, and the hatred of anybody but
Speaker 1: straight white men and mostly went straight white women as well.
Speaker 1: Like I get you know why, you know these things
Speaker 1: are being brought up and happening, But it's also like, bro,
Speaker 1: these wants, like these wants like let these niggas eat
Speaker 1: the Belgian waffles, like like come on, like it's just
Speaker 1: stop stop. And I also wondered to like and Caitlin
Speaker 1: and I I definitely want you to get in here,
Speaker 1: but I also want I also wanted to like it's
Speaker 1: Florida lost cause you know, like because you know, growing up,
Speaker 1: my first election was the two thousand election, right, and
Speaker 1: you know, Florida has been at the top of the
Speaker 1: top of the political world in the United States ever
Speaker 1: since then. It seems like, right, but it always seemed
Speaker 1: like it was going back and forth, back and forth,
Speaker 1: back and forth. It could be or it couldn't be.
Speaker 1: It could be or it couldn't be. And I'm I'm wondering,
Speaker 1: like all this ship that this man is doing, and like,
Speaker 1: like is Florida lost now? Where this is just who
Speaker 1: they are, Like he is going to be in office
Speaker 1: or somebody like him is going to be in office,
Speaker 1: or are the people in Florida who are are not
Speaker 1: Republican conservative or just straight psychopaths saying like we can't
Speaker 1: wait to get this nigga out of office. Like I
Speaker 1: have no barometer. Maybe somebody knows better than I do,
Speaker 1: but I mean, it's Florida isn't bright red? You know,
Speaker 1: it's not it's it's it's it's a it's a swing state,
Speaker 1: but I guess so. But like, you know, the last
Speaker 1: two elections they voted red. You know, Yeah, Biden lost
Speaker 1: by less than three and a half points, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And there there's a lot you know,
Speaker 1: they've they've they've done a lot to try and disenfranchise
Speaker 1: people there. But so there's always that going along with it.
Speaker 1: I hate to think any places of lost cause when
Speaker 1: I know there are people of like good conscience living there.
Speaker 1: But I get what you mean, Like when you look
Speaker 1: at how the state House is moving and how the
Speaker 1: governor moved that, you're like, what the funk is this?
Speaker 1: And it really is just energizing a small group, But
Speaker 1: there are plenty of people who are just as outraged
Speaker 1: and tired of this kind of ship as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had a bush in that what in that state
Speaker 1: House from two thousand seven, Florida is very tightly managed
Speaker 1: in terms of voter access. Florida is I mean, without
Speaker 1: having done extensive research pre podcasts, I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 1: if my suspicions were confirmed that Florida is pretty tightly
Speaker 1: gerrymandered and has been for some time. Both to get
Speaker 1: job in power and then after your jobs in power,
Speaker 1: you have a lineage like that of deceptively brilliant tacticians
Speaker 1: politically who are very good at something. Around Santasis doing
Speaker 1: it sounds different, but it's the same trick, where they're
Speaker 1: using the mechanisms of government very effectively while making you
Speaker 1: think about something else. With Jeb, I mean with the
Speaker 1: bushes in general. George is perhaps a good example of
Speaker 1: like the Herr, and you know the whole time the
Speaker 1: machine is working very efficient efficiently. The scary thing about
Speaker 1: what the Santis is doing. He I don't believe this
Speaker 1: is a person with beliefs, So I don't think de
Speaker 1: Santis has any opinion about anything anything. He's a void.
Speaker 1: He's just exactly a psyche, a weird psychopath void. But
Speaker 1: that the power that he wants to eat up. He
Speaker 1: makes noise about gay issues, and that freaks people out
Speaker 1: who have a problem with that. But what's really happening
Speaker 1: is he's using mechanisms of government very effectively to limit
Speaker 1: freedom and bodily autonomy. And no matter what a press
Speaker 1: group you are part of, that is dangerous and keeps
Speaker 1: you are in the press group that knows exactly how
Speaker 1: bad that can go. That's where we are from as
Speaker 1: a nation. In those are our roots. But to say that,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I don't find mary many parallels between
Speaker 1: different civil rights battles, because oppression starts from different places,
Speaker 1: even when it looks the same. Direct comparisons are really
Speaker 1: hard to make. But there is this bridge that grows
Speaker 1: between a lot of communities who find themselves under a
Speaker 1: boot heel, and it's removal of your bodily autonomy. And
Speaker 1: trans people are in this flash point because they when
Speaker 1: when you hear someone making the issue ill yucky like
Speaker 1: that is gross and so easy to fight against. But
Speaker 1: what's really happening is that they're pushing for this legal
Speaker 1: right to control someone's bodily autonomy. And whenever that's happening,
Speaker 1: it's dangerous, and yeah, using that shield of like Mom,
Speaker 1: I'm just worried about the parents. Man, some parents, if
Speaker 1: they if they want to do that, and it's so
Speaker 1: disingenuous again because it's just about bringing in this world
Speaker 1: where they want to see America be a place where
Speaker 1: it's illegal to be gay or not Christian, and if
Speaker 1: you're not, and if you aren't okay with that, that's
Speaker 1: also illegal. So you can either accept what the funk
Speaker 1: is coming and get in line, or you are will
Speaker 1: be designated an enemy basically and fighting yourself on the
Speaker 1: godly and they're gays everybody else throughout cornhole on each other.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, they don't have it's just a weird
Speaker 1: I wish I understood a desire for power, because it's
Speaker 1: not something I really understand. It's not I don't kind
Speaker 1: of get it, but I see it and it's fascinating.
Speaker 1: And to Sans, this is one of those people where
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't believe in what he's saying, so
Speaker 1: I need to look at what he's doing. And what
Speaker 1: he's doing is controlling people's freedom with mechanisms of government,
Speaker 1: and that is no good. Yeah, and it's not it's
Speaker 1: not policy. It's just it's just fascism that really policies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the idea that like people are like, it's so hypocritical,
Speaker 1: and I get that it is, but again, I feel
Speaker 1: like recently if to like turn a corner after reading
Speaker 1: a few threads from people like, it's not about them
Speaker 1: having a fucking intellectual like besting somebody intellectually. They want
Speaker 1: one fucking thing. But they can't just say I want this.
Speaker 1: Being gay is illegal because that will invite too much opposition.
Speaker 1: What they can do is, I believe parents should do this.
Speaker 1: This is a new policy Blue. And when people are like, hey,
Speaker 1: that's completely like opposite of what you said earlier, they
Speaker 1: don't give a funk because it's not about you. It's
Speaker 1: not about consistency. It's about I want to do ship
Speaker 1: my way and I want to say these people have
Speaker 1: no power. That's that end of period dot com. It's
Speaker 1: not about consistency, it's not about the kids. To say,
Speaker 1: if it was about the kids, they would have banshed
Speaker 1: it like medieval times years ago, yea zero Mede games,
Speaker 1: you know, I think medieval medieval times. This is a
Speaker 1: terrible thing to take kids till you take them and
Speaker 1: go eat fucking turkey legs as big as they goddamn
Speaker 1: calf muscles and fucking watch public executions on stage where
Speaker 1: were cheering ship like it's stupid, it's fucking stupid that
Speaker 1: movement just outside media times like no, no more executions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy, man, it's crazy. So like you spare me,
Speaker 1: spare me this where we care about the kids. Well,
Speaker 1: this is the wild part, right He's says he cares
Speaker 1: about the kids, but we've seen him create an atmosphere
Speaker 1: that is Again, just to move on to the other
Speaker 1: subject that Rohnda Santis is going after teachers before we
Speaker 1: start that, I just want to say again, if you
Speaker 1: are a teacher with like a wish list of of
Speaker 1: school supplies you need, please tweet it at me so
Speaker 1: I can retweet it and we can help. I've been
Speaker 1: retweeting people's wish lists, been trying to knock a few
Speaker 1: items off for people. I can't again stress how grateful
Speaker 1: I am if you are a fucking teacher in America
Speaker 1: right now, because it is so fucking hard, because you
Speaker 1: are up against parents and administrations that have completely lost
Speaker 1: the plot, and the fact that you are there and
Speaker 1: resilient and continue to dedicate your life to educating people
Speaker 1: to be empathetic people. I can't. I can't honor you
Speaker 1: enough right now, So please send me your wish list.
Speaker 1: I do want to retweet them because I feel like
Speaker 1: Zeke Gang has really come through, been very generous with
Speaker 1: other listeners who are teachers and having their items he purchased.
Speaker 1: So I just want to put that up top. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine how scary for any teacher that isn't a
Speaker 1: white Christian. I cannot imagine how scary the group or dialect,
Speaker 1: No can you. There's just how fast that spreads, How
Speaker 1: easy your entire life, your entire profession. The obsession that
Speaker 1: being gay is all about who you want to funk
Speaker 1: is so funny because is that? I mean, the world
Speaker 1: of love is so much bigger. Sex is a part
Speaker 1: of everybody's life. Has very little to do with whether
Speaker 1: or not you're straight. Of sex is a part of
Speaker 1: everybody's life, whether or not you're straighter. It's just an
Speaker 1: insane fantasy. The gay people live their entire lives with
Speaker 1: their face buried and somebody else's junk is so funny.
Speaker 1: I wear overhauls all the time. I fall more straw
Speaker 1: than I have eaten out straw in the last couple
Speaker 1: of months. And I'm not saying I'm doing good. I'm
Speaker 1: with a lovely lady for nine years and we know
Speaker 1: what we're doing. I'm just saying right and and again,
Speaker 1: that's all part of dehumanizing people that make it seem
Speaker 1: like delinquency, that it's like, well, these aren't actually human.
Speaker 1: These are machines that don't know up from down and
Speaker 1: they're gonna fucking you. Don't want your kids to be
Speaker 1: in the path of that. Wait, never mind, I'm a
Speaker 1: huge fun machine. That's all I do. All I do.
Speaker 1: I'm a massive sun machine. Get that. Yeah, kids away
Speaker 1: from me. Okay, story is nuts. I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: jump in again because this story is wild, and I
Speaker 1: do I want to hear more about it. But the teachers, right, So,
Speaker 1: teachers in Florida have already had it rough, you know,
Speaker 1: dealing with screaming parents. We saw it all through the
Speaker 1: fucking pandemic Q and on freaks coming for them, getting
Speaker 1: docs all kinds of This isn't just Florida, this is
Speaker 1: this is across the nation, but in Florida specifically. It's
Speaker 1: no surprise that the state is looking at thousands of
Speaker 1: vacancies as they head into the new school year. Because
Speaker 1: teachers are just like, yo, I can't this is a
Speaker 1: fucked up environment. I do not what the fuck because
Speaker 1: I read this book. Now you're calling me a CRT
Speaker 1: groom or what the funk are you talking about? So
Speaker 1: because of the vacancies, Rhonda Santis has a solution for this.
Speaker 1: He wants to replace people that have received received you know,
Speaker 1: training as educators with military veterans, because that's the let
Speaker 1: let them lead the future. Now, he recently signed a
Speaker 1: true just a Teachers bill that says you can qualify
Speaker 1: for a temporary teacher certificate if you were in the military.
Speaker 1: So essentially the state will now act like, you know,
Speaker 1: four years of active duty military service will be the
Speaker 1: same as two years in college. So if you've got
Speaker 1: two years of college credits laying around, you can go
Speaker 1: take this test to get temporarily certified, and then you
Speaker 1: can go teach young children who are very uh not
Speaker 1: behaved like they are in the military. And the Santis
Speaker 1: has tried to make this case that being trained in
Speaker 1: like close quarters combat and asymmetric you know, guerilla warfare
Speaker 1: is somehow way better than someone who has like a
Speaker 1: child developmental like specification, but he's just like always kind
Speaker 1: of like doing the things like no, man, it's just
Speaker 1: as good. And I've had teachers that were veterans and
Speaker 1: they were great, but guess what they wanted to teach.
Speaker 1: They didn't just kind of like be like, wait, oh,
Speaker 1: I can use two years of this to get this
Speaker 1: other job. They were. They were actually devoted educators. They
Speaker 1: happened to also be veterans. So I have a hard
Speaker 1: time seeing how giving people an option to teach by
Speaker 1: changing the standards is a proper way to help schools
Speaker 1: and ultimately the students. But again, it's it's not about
Speaker 1: anything aside from oh you want to leave, Look how
Speaker 1: quickly I can get these other people to get in
Speaker 1: your spot, like just sort of saying, now what you
Speaker 1: want to do? And I think that's a very you know, well,
Speaker 1: well we'll see, we'll see where that goes. But I
Speaker 1: hope the people that are, you know, entering those jobs
Speaker 1: have a you know, a genuine desire to be patient
Speaker 1: to teach the kids, because I know that ship is
Speaker 1: not easy. No, I don't know the close quarters combat
Speaker 1: is the training that you need right, I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a time to honor the veterans. I
Speaker 1: can't wait. I can't wait till a teacher, you know,
Speaker 1: has a classroom full of kids and one kid pisses
Speaker 1: a certain teacher off and need throat chops him in
Speaker 1: the fucking throat. Uh. Like, that's that's what I got,
Speaker 1: That's what I came here for. Uh. Bet you, these
Speaker 1: kids won't get out of line anymore. And oh, you're
Speaker 1: really just doing is you are devaluing what is special
Speaker 1: about education and devaluating what is special about the parental
Speaker 1: and you know, child relationship. You know, because the teacher
Speaker 1: is a parental type relationship. Obviously they're not a parent,
Speaker 1: but it's like relationship. Yeah, and and you're and you
Speaker 1: are by doing things like not caring that kids again
Speaker 1: shot in school. Uh, not empowering teachers by just saying,
Speaker 1: you know, we want people who are trained at this
Speaker 1: but not this to teach our children. Are you doing
Speaker 1: It's just telling them, you know, there's nothing special about
Speaker 1: you until you get to a certain age that you
Speaker 1: could probably fight for us and be on our side. Uh.
Speaker 1: And once you get there, then we want you. Then
Speaker 1: we care about you, but on the way there, we
Speaker 1: want to make sure you don't develop anything special about you,
Speaker 1: um that could like lead you to like not vote
Speaker 1: for us in the future. It was the pipeline school
Speaker 1: the military, but they just put a U bend in it.
Speaker 1: School in military right back into school. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's a weird cycle. And yeah that's yeah, that's creepy.
Speaker 1: It's and it's just this is and it's it's hard
Speaker 1: to watch, you know, just because by design, just systematically
Speaker 1: trying to undercut education constantly, constantly, constantly, because many conservatives
Speaker 1: and business minded Democrats they don't mind privatizing the educational system.
Speaker 1: Mostly Republicans want to do that. But that helps completely
Speaker 1: take out a standardized level of education and what's taught
Speaker 1: to people, what's not taught to people, and you get
Speaker 1: more stuff where you're gonna raise American kids who are
Speaker 1: like the Civil War didn't even happen. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: you know, all you have to do to educate the facts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what you do when you study education, To
Speaker 1: study how to educate, you have to know a bunch
Speaker 1: of other stuff. In addition, you need this other skill set.
Speaker 1: And I don't know that I don't know military training.
Speaker 1: Perhaps there's extensive curriculum in communication, but I don't know
Speaker 1: that that's the case. And yeah, you said it, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be Like there's nothing saying great teachers couldn't also
Speaker 1: be veterans, but like funneling talented veterans into this place
Speaker 1: where you know, an opportunity is made available, that's not
Speaker 1: ideal for their skill set when they aren't leaving with
Speaker 1: an incredibly valuable skill set. Physics, engineering, all these complicated
Speaker 1: systems that you learn are that's incredible. There's value in
Speaker 1: that knowledge to our society, and I don't know that
Speaker 1: it's best applied in a like in a honor split class.
Speaker 1: I feel so insultd, Like it feels rude to be like,
Speaker 1: you can't do that, and that isn't what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm saying it might not be the best acause anything,
Speaker 1: if aside from what the capability as are of anyone
Speaker 1: who would want to teach, Like I hope that the
Speaker 1: people that do apply they actually want to and their
Speaker 1: bloody for it and etcetera. And like I mean, they'll
Speaker 1: go they'll go beyond to get a permanent you know,
Speaker 1: certification whatever. But more the idea that rhnd de Santis
Speaker 1: is using this to say teachers are disposable because I
Speaker 1: don't care how many of y'all leave in protest, I
Speaker 1: can replace you. You're replaceable. And this program may not
Speaker 1: even work, you know, like it it could just be
Speaker 1: a signal to say, like, oh, you want to leave
Speaker 1: all wise this, I can call in all these people
Speaker 1: and now suddenly they're qualified. That's what the conversation feels like.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what it feels particularly unsettling for me,
Speaker 1: because we constantly talk about how important teachers are, especially
Speaker 1: in the public education system, and scaring people like that
Speaker 1: out is only going to create a vacuum for whacking
Speaker 1: nonsense that is just gonna be harmful. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we'll
Speaker 1: just take a moment to laugh at Alex Jones. Okay,
Speaker 1: and we are back. Okay. I just I gotta come
Speaker 1: back around to the Alex Jones thing. Yesterday. Like I said,
Speaker 1: at the time of the recording, we didn't have this
Speaker 1: video clip of Alex Jones realizing that his whole ship
Speaker 1: just got funked up in court and for those who
Speaker 1: didn't listen to yesterday's episode are unaware Alex Jones is
Speaker 1: in the stand. I was taking the stand for his
Speaker 1: defamation case because he's been saying Sandy Hook was a
Speaker 1: false flag, nothing happened. These are actors, crisis actors, etcetera.
Speaker 1: The parents are suing him. This is this is one
Speaker 1: of like three defamation court like trials he has to face.
Speaker 1: He's being sued by the parents. Obviously, he always says, oh,
Speaker 1: it's performance art, it's you know, I'm not I don't
Speaker 1: really mean what I say, etcetera, etcetera. And the case
Speaker 1: was looking up and down but mostly not great for
Speaker 1: Alex Jones. Is like the evidence was mounting against him.
Speaker 1: But then in this moment, the lawyer that's representing the
Speaker 1: Sandy Hook parents, this guy Mark Bankston, he basically I
Speaker 1: don't know. He's like, hey, man, I have all your
Speaker 1: texts because your lawyers sent them to me. And he's like, so,
Speaker 1: I know you lied about never talking about Sandy Hook
Speaker 1: in your text or your emails. And it's like, this
Speaker 1: fucking it's wild. I'm gonna play the audio for you
Speaker 1: because it's it's pretty pretty breath taking. So you did
Speaker 1: get my text messages. I said, yes, Mr Jones, indeed
Speaker 1: you did. You did this text message to me? You don't.
Speaker 1: You don't know where this came from. Do you know
Speaker 1: where I got this? Mr Jones? Did you know that
Speaker 1: twelve days ago? Twelve days ago, look at his face?
Speaker 1: Your attorney's messed up and sitting an entire digital copy
Speaker 1: of your entire cell phone with every text message you've
Speaker 1: sent for the past two years. And when informed did
Speaker 1: not take any such wouldn't why its privilege or protected
Speaker 1: in any way. And as of two days ago, it
Speaker 1: fell free and clear into my possession. And that is
Speaker 1: how I know you vied to me when you said
Speaker 1: you didn't have text message about saying look at him?
Speaker 1: Did you know that the show? See I told you
Speaker 1: the truth. This is your Perrymason moment. I gave my
Speaker 1: phone and then Mr Jones, you need to answer the
Speaker 1: question anyway. So this goes on and Alex Jones like,
Speaker 1: this is your Perry Mason moment? Around fucking cooked again.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, you can't see it, but
Speaker 1: they pan over to Alex Jones his lawyer as the
Speaker 1: guy's like, yo, fam, you're a lawyer, said this to me,
Speaker 1: he's trying to act cool about it. He's like rubbing
Speaker 1: his lip with his index finger, like, no, this is
Speaker 1: all good, this is all cool. No, we're good, this
Speaker 1: is no problem. What's also amazing, I love that you
Speaker 1: can hear the adrenaline in that lawyer's voice as he's
Speaker 1: telling Like Alex, I was like, do you know how
Speaker 1: I got these text message? Like It's like he was
Speaker 1: waiting to fucking just dunk on this motherfucker tenth grade
Speaker 1: my trial. He's been ready. Oh yeah, I'm like the
Speaker 1: last time I felt like an adrenaline us like that,
Speaker 1: I feel like when I play Uno with my nieces
Speaker 1: and nephews and like I'm like, I'm just like stacking
Speaker 1: up a ridiculous hand, Like so I'm just putting stacking
Speaker 1: all wild draw fars and then just fucking go out
Speaker 1: on him in three moves and watch their jaws drop.
Speaker 1: That's the only that's the closest thing I could have
Speaker 1: ever experienced to what that man just did. Anyway, So everything,
Speaker 1: everything about this is really really fucking amazing to be
Speaker 1: it's funny. I want to need to fall out. I
Speaker 1: am interested in what the fallout of this specific part
Speaker 1: is gonna be I know, you know, some people are
Speaker 1: saying that he could drop his lawyers for malpractice or something.
Speaker 1: He asked for a mistrial. His lawyers asked for a
Speaker 1: mistrial because of that, and it didn't happen. The the
Speaker 1: judge was like, no, because I don't know if you
Speaker 1: heard right Mark Banks and how he says, He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got this twelve days ago. And he's like, and
Speaker 1: now it's not privileged or anything, I can I can
Speaker 1: use this now against you as evidence. And so what
Speaker 1: turns out what happened was one of the one of
Speaker 1: the fucking pair of legals on Alex Jones team dropped
Speaker 1: a fucking file into a dropbox folder that was meant
Speaker 1: meant for shared evidence between the between the plaintiffs and
Speaker 1: the defense and basically dropped it in the shared fucking
Speaker 1: evidence folder. Now there is there, like there are protections
Speaker 1: in the state of Texas for ship like that, Like
Speaker 1: there's like a ten day period where you can reclaim
Speaker 1: the evidence and ask for it to be sealed and
Speaker 1: be like that was arrantly handed over. We can't actually
Speaker 1: have this, you know, they can't actually submit that. But
Speaker 1: when that time came and the and the the mistake
Speaker 1: was made. They just like basically told Mark Bankston, the
Speaker 1: lawyer for the for the Sandy Hook families, to just quote,
Speaker 1: please disregard that that wasn't an official saying that was
Speaker 1: privileged information that was arrently transmitted to you. I need
Speaker 1: to have it sealed based on this statute whatever. Baba.
Speaker 1: They just said, hey, please disregard. They were like, no, like,
Speaker 1: we downloaded that ship. If you're not properly going to
Speaker 1: take the steps to protect that, then guess the uck
Speaker 1: what we are going to surprise motherfucker Drew in court.
Speaker 1: So that's exactly what happened. So I feel bad for
Speaker 1: that parent Latin. No, I don't feel bad for that paralegal.
Speaker 1: If anything, that paralegal helped a lot, because now the
Speaker 1: January six committee they're like, hey, man, let me get
Speaker 1: that from me. Get those text messages really quick from you.
Speaker 1: And because if you remember, Alex Jones was you know,
Speaker 1: in and around there quite a lot during January six,
Speaker 1: so there could be a few who knows what the
Speaker 1: ramifications are. I mean, we're yet to see what the
Speaker 1: real ramifications are from the January six committee. But so
Speaker 1: the only thing I'll say, is I with all of this,
Speaker 1: the January six is Alex Jones ship, all of it. Man,
Speaker 1: White people know, they get to stay in court for
Speaker 1: long ast time. The longest motherfucker that stayed in court
Speaker 1: that was black was O J and the nigga still
Speaker 1: got you know, was only on trial for like four
Speaker 1: or five months. These motherfuckers have been on trial and
Speaker 1: getting dispositioned and meetings the ship for two three, four five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like these do something like in this ship trial, which
Speaker 1: like the less likely outcome another circumstances, if this was
Speaker 1: a bunch of black people with this trial would have
Speaker 1: been over in three hours on the steps of the Capitol,
Speaker 1: it would have been well, it wouldn't even get just
Speaker 1: like damn man, Like you want to know something even
Speaker 1: more disgusting, right, So his lawyers are like, we need
Speaker 1: a mistrial, like first that this is your own this
Speaker 1: you fuck your self owned what you're talking about. In
Speaker 1: the closing statement, his lawyer like, in trying to make
Speaker 1: Alex Jones seem, you know, like a victim or someone
Speaker 1: that deserves their sympathy, he like recited that like Holocaust
Speaker 1: poem of like when they came for them, I said
Speaker 1: nothing and then like when they came for me, no
Speaker 1: one was there, you know, like that that like the
Speaker 1: poem about just sort of being able to speak up
Speaker 1: in the phase of oppression and trying to paint Alex
Speaker 1: Jones as some kind of fucking freedom of speech like revolutionary.
Speaker 1: So I have a feeling that juries hopefully we'll come
Speaker 1: back with a very swift verdict. But who knows. Who
Speaker 1: knows a lot to unpack their But yeah, you'd love
Speaker 1: to see those people fuck themselves up because you know
Speaker 1: that in a way, that late light reminder of universal karma. Right.
Speaker 1: I wish I could have I wish I could have
Speaker 1: been a fly on the wall when he went to
Speaker 1: the back with his lawyer's team, like, man, that's like,
Speaker 1: I'm dying. They got me. I don't know who he
Speaker 1: and he keeps saying, he's like, man, if the judgment
Speaker 1: is more than two million dollars, I'll be finished. But
Speaker 1: then people also found out through those uh that file
Speaker 1: that they errantly transmitted to them. They're like it said,
Speaker 1: at one point you were making eight hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a day on a good day, So miss me with this,
Speaker 1: I only got two million. Ship Yeah, many hate paces.
Speaker 1: I filed for bankruptcy. Yeah, you filed for bankruptcy. There's
Speaker 1: a big different. You didn't. You're not banking. You just applied.
Speaker 1: That's like saying, hey man, I'm in Harvard. Well I
Speaker 1: applied to Harvard. Okay, well you're not in Harvard. Then
Speaker 1: you applied. Yeah, but I might be in there. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's the tactical bath to separate LLC because
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that the profits from the tactical
Speaker 1: baths a mass over two million alone, right, Yeah, either
Speaker 1: so much money and saying weird ship, Yeah, there's there's
Speaker 1: just so much money. And look, if you have no
Speaker 1: moral scruples, there's an audience for some of that terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible ship, like clearly, I mean eight hundred k a
Speaker 1: day at at certain stretches of like Info Wars popularity.
Speaker 1: Front Line did a pretty good special Analyxe Jones called
Speaker 1: the United States Conspiracy that I recommend if you need
Speaker 1: your Alex Jones primary. It goes back into his history
Speaker 1: a little bit, and front Line is really good at
Speaker 1: not talking about elephants in the room, but put the
Speaker 1: evidence always pushes you to this inevitable conclusion. They're kind
Speaker 1: of quiet about huge issues sometimes where race is at
Speaker 1: the center of an enormous topic but they don't really
Speaker 1: talk about it, or women's rights are at the center
Speaker 1: of an enormous to pig but you still wind up
Speaker 1: to this place where it's like, oh, this is intensely
Speaker 1: fucked up. They're really good at it, uh, And the
Speaker 1: Alex Jones wants is it's pretty excellent because it's so
Speaker 1: easy to just be like, this dude is a fucking buffoon, right,
Speaker 1: and that's the elephant they leave out. They don't talk
Speaker 1: about how fucking dummy is and how dumb all these
Speaker 1: ship people are saying that believe all this stuff are.
Speaker 1: But they do a really effective job of sort of
Speaker 1: explaining how he got to this position and the position
Speaker 1: he is in now. And as someone who was like,
Speaker 1: who is this cultural figure, it was a helpful primer,
Speaker 1: So it leaves out some important information about how stupid
Speaker 1: and all this, but it is an excellent catchup on
Speaker 1: how the hell Alex Jones became a national figure rights
