Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season to fourteen, episode
Speaker 1: five of The Days I Guy Us the production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take
Speaker 1: a deep dive into America's share consciousness. And it's Friday December,
Speaker 1: which of course means that it is Dewey Decimal System Day,
Speaker 1: the day from which we appreciate the days my elementary
Speaker 1: school education devoted to learning the Dewey decimal system, which
Speaker 1: you know, I've I've used every single day since it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's also a Nobel Prize day. But I feel,
Speaker 1: really though, we need to remind for the elders who
Speaker 1: listened to the show that it is Dewey Decimal System Day,
Speaker 1: because that who didn't grow up and having to learn
Speaker 1: how to use a card catalog or pretending to know
Speaker 1: how to use a card catalog. Do we think they're like,
Speaker 1: they probably don't teach that anymore, right, That's like Kurt,
Speaker 1: that's gone the way of cursive as like just something
Speaker 1: they no longer have to teach. And I have young,
Speaker 1: I've not set foot in an academic context facility. And
Speaker 1: he thinks there's two thousand seven, so I know in
Speaker 1: two thousand seven they were like, hey, y'all need to
Speaker 1: know how to use a research library. And there is
Speaker 1: some dewey dewey do do going on there, but do
Speaker 1: we do do ye? Well, my name is Jack O'Brien
Speaker 1: ak Magnum Pasite. That's courtesy of Digenice the Critic, and
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co host,
Speaker 1: Mr Miles Grad. Oh you know who it is. It's
Speaker 1: just your favorite soner from North Hollywood and you know
Speaker 1: him as a one and only hit day Oh no,
Speaker 1: because he's twisting up that fucking backwoods like Day's wind up.
Speaker 1: Shout out to me for not looking at this court.
Speaker 1: Are you got a day? But you know what it is?
Speaker 1: I do Friday, Friday, Friday. It is Friday, and we
Speaker 1: are thrilled to be joined in their third seat by
Speaker 1: a very funny stand up comedian, writer, podcaster, producer, one
Speaker 1: of our all time favorite t VS guests. You've seen
Speaker 1: her on on tv E, Comedy Central, Your stand up
Speaker 1: album Opinion Tape debut at number one on iTunes, and
Speaker 1: her podcast Lady to Lady is just one of the
Speaker 1: best out there. She's performed everywhere from a basement in
Speaker 1: Kentucky to the stages of the Kennedy Center. Please welcome
Speaker 1: the brilliant, the talented Brandy poses O ship everybody. What's happening?
Speaker 1: Thank you. I love hearing my credits rent to me
Speaker 1: before noon. It feels nice. Ye start your day with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: can I tell you, guys, while you were talking about
Speaker 1: the Dewey decimal system, I looked it up and it
Speaker 1: was invented by a man named Melvin Dewey, which is
Speaker 1: the cutest name in the world. And it's really my
Speaker 1: name is Melvin Dewey and duck or something, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: on like on the Wikipedia page it has like the
Speaker 1: history and how like eighteen eighty five early development, period
Speaker 1: of adoption and then two to present forging an identity.
Speaker 1: So it's just trying to figure out who it is
Speaker 1: now in a post in a post world where we
Speaker 1: don't need them anymore. It's very for a little midlife crisis,
Speaker 1: and then yeah, we'll descend into a relevance. You know,
Speaker 1: some some still use it. Though some still use it,
Speaker 1: and other libraries are starting to argue that there maybe
Speaker 1: it's time for a change. Yeah, I think there's a
Speaker 1: Can you imagine how mad you would be as like
Speaker 1: a librarian that have been using it and cat like
Speaker 1: committed it to memory for forty years of your two
Speaker 1: year and then they're like Google comes in and you're like,
Speaker 1: excuse me, that's like that's like taxi drivers that used
Speaker 1: to know the city in their head and then Google
Speaker 1: Map showed up and they're like, I know how to
Speaker 1: get around this city? How dare you come with? Still
Speaker 1: like a test in some cities though, like if you're
Speaker 1: gonna like ride for the city's taxi thing, like you
Speaker 1: can't be fucking like you have to have a very
Speaker 1: solid knowledge or is that just something I heard that
Speaker 1: London cab. I think that's probably true. I know that
Speaker 1: that is true overseas in London, especially because I remember
Speaker 1: when Uber went over there, they were like, no, we've
Speaker 1: learned the way that the city books. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like that was like the biggest thing that they like,
Speaker 1: don't use Uber, they don't know the city, Like we
Speaker 1: don't like, you know facts. Honestly, I'd rather have somebody
Speaker 1: who would instinctively be like I will go down this
Speaker 1: wrong one way to get you there quicker. And there's
Speaker 1: something about there's like some neurological study or like a
Speaker 1: study of the brains of London cab drivers and like
Speaker 1: something about that job, and like having to know all
Speaker 1: those paths like makes them some of the best at
Speaker 1: I don't know, mental mapping. I guess you know what.
Speaker 1: I am just realizing I had always assumed that the
Speaker 1: Dewey decimal system was created by whoever Dewey from the
Speaker 1: Dewey Defeats Truman headline was because they were both from
Speaker 1: the days where everything was in black cam white and
Speaker 1: apparently not the case that, So no still interested in it?
Speaker 1: Am I still interested in the Dewey desk despite it
Speaker 1: not having those origins that you thought it did. Yeah, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I just feel like the last name Dewey
Speaker 1: has fallen off, Like we we don't have very very
Speaker 1: many famous Dewey's, and they were the history was lousy
Speaker 1: with them. I'd like to see more in the new century. Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, Dewey, Dewey last name, step up, Brandy. We're
Speaker 1: going to get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. The first a couple of things we're
Speaker 1: talking about today. The Jilne Maxwell prosecution has arrested Brandy.
Speaker 1: I know that's something that you've been keeping an eye on.
Speaker 1: So we're just going to check in with you on like,
Speaker 1: what what does that mean you've been watching. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the latest quote unquote attack on Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: We will of course be talking about the biggest news
Speaker 1: story in America right now Fox News is Christmas Tree hate,
Speaker 1: you know, the attack gun on our freedom, all of
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, Brandy, we do like to
Speaker 1: ask our guests, what is something from your search history
Speaker 1: assistant suicide. It was googling that this morning because of that.
Speaker 1: Did you guys see the Switzerland the three D capsule
Speaker 1: that just they just came out with. Yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: we covered it like when the guy had first debuted
Speaker 1: it like a few years ago and was saying like
Speaker 1: this could be something to be used first in suicide,
Speaker 1: and then what this week it was approved right in
Speaker 1: Switzerland for use. Yeah, it looks like it's approved. It's
Speaker 1: really futuristic and kind of beautiful and like does feel
Speaker 1: like a thing that future people would kill themselves? Right,
Speaker 1: And it looks it looks like a tanning bed that
Speaker 1: you can just like wheel around and you look out
Speaker 1: into the world and um, you can put it in
Speaker 1: a nice field and then just die. None of the
Speaker 1: articles that I have seen about it say that when
Speaker 1: you die, you also shoot yourself, So you're shaping yourself
Speaker 1: in like a beautiful capsule the middle of a field.
Speaker 1: And I feel that for whoever has to deal with
Speaker 1: that after, but it won't be your problem anymore. Well,
Speaker 1: I think at that point, if you've decided that you
Speaker 1: needed that's that way to lessen your burden, then yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe shifting yourself is at least of your hord. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure somebody else's problem there, you go, Yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Someone's like, you actually don't qualify to be using this machine. Second,
Speaker 1: I just really kind of want to ship change my mind,
Speaker 1: change my mind. Wait wa wait, I'm it's too late, sir.
Speaker 1: So I'm actually not familiar with this. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: I am, because we covered it a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: But like, what does the pod? What's the service the
Speaker 1: pod provides is just like sensory deprivation or something, well,
Speaker 1: you know, so it is it releases like nitrogen as
Speaker 1: it also decreases the oxygen very quickly, so you lose consciousness,
Speaker 1: but there's also like a feeling of euphoria and relaxation
Speaker 1: so you're not choking or anything. That does sound kind
Speaker 1: of nice. Yeah, okay, yeah. Son called it the Sarco machine. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But I was I saw it on Twitter. I saw
Speaker 1: people being like, oh yeah, and I was like, let
Speaker 1: me go read about this, and I just we're just
Speaker 1: three D print and everything at this point with three
Speaker 1: D printing coffins and guns and heart valves. I mean,
Speaker 1: who knew the printer was going to have this kind
Speaker 1: of a revolution and the Renaissance and this part of
Speaker 1: the twenty first century. Well yeah, and it's also you
Speaker 1: know this, it's also part of this larger discussion about
Speaker 1: your right to die and and what what you're what
Speaker 1: you should be able to access or experience as you
Speaker 1: go into your final stages of life because so many,
Speaker 1: you know, a huge push has been around like psychedelics
Speaker 1: and how that's really helped people with terminal illnesses come
Speaker 1: to sort of grips and begin to have a feeling
Speaker 1: of acceptance around there, you know, at their end their
Speaker 1: end of life scenario. But then you have like municipalities
Speaker 1: are there, like what you're gonna you're gonna arrest like
Speaker 1: an eighty year old person who's like dying because they
Speaker 1: did mushrooms? Like, what are we what's what are we
Speaker 1: doing here? Exactly? Yeah, So this is all just um,
Speaker 1: you know, part of part of this new I think,
Speaker 1: just very necessary discussion that we've been having, not having
Speaker 1: for many years. Yeah. Well, and it's interesting because it's like,
Speaker 1: if we remove the fear of death from people, like
Speaker 1: death means like going to hell or heaven to so
Speaker 1: many people that are religious too that it's also like,
Speaker 1: how are we able to control the masses and make
Speaker 1: them keep giving money and keep them you know, supplicate
Speaker 1: in so many different ways to something. It's a very
Speaker 1: it's an extremely empowering thing to give people the possibility
Speaker 1: to right. Yeah, three D printers could solve like most
Speaker 1: of the world's problems, but unfortunately the ink is too expensive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: printer joke for anybody. Damn refills, damn refill. What is
Speaker 1: what something you think is overrated being a good bowler
Speaker 1: and I but I and I also think being underrats
Speaker 1: being a bad bowler. I think it's okay. I think
Speaker 1: it's fun to go and see people just be shitty
Speaker 1: at a bowling alley. And when when you show up
Speaker 1: with like your little glove and you got your little
Speaker 1: leg to win your little thing. Everyone's just having fun
Speaker 1: and seeing their friends. We don't need you, like to
Speaker 1: have your whole rig here, right, just coming in being
Speaker 1: like who do you think you are? The important thing
Speaker 1: is that you cele is that you learn beat for
Speaker 1: beat that guy's celebration, and then you do it every
Speaker 1: time that you you were all, even even when it's
Speaker 1: a straight gutter. Yeah, exactly. And like I went bowling
Speaker 1: last night for the first time, and I mean literally years,
Speaker 1: and to my left there was like several very serious
Speaker 1: people who like would also like stop and like very
Speaker 1: annoyingly wait for like me to go because God forbid
Speaker 1: two of us roll a ball at the same time
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah. And then to my right where the
Speaker 1: two most adorable like little like queer high school goths
Speaker 1: that were just like bowling so bad and like their
Speaker 1: arms were so thin and frail they could barely get
Speaker 1: the ball down the aisle, broken wrist every role. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I was like, they're having a delightful time. They're
Speaker 1: eating They're like a bowling alley is about eating a
Speaker 1: plate of like cold French fries and drinking something. It's
Speaker 1: the only place that you can drink something out of
Speaker 1: a styrofoam cupe, I think, right, right, And yeah, I
Speaker 1: just was like with CFC's in them, like they're like
Speaker 1: I didn't even know they made styrofoam with CFCs anymore
Speaker 1: that we stopped in the eighties and nineties, that they're
Speaker 1: not a boarding out boarding stockpile of people bowling alleys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm terrible at bowling, so I I embrace the shitty
Speaker 1: bowling fun of bowling because like I just try. I
Speaker 1: just go for all kinds of ship Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know any technique I will I will use sometimes in
Speaker 1: a panic, I'll try and like watch a YouTube video
Speaker 1: before and be like, why am I always fucking up?
Speaker 1: Like and I realized my release is always across my body,
Speaker 1: so I'm always throwing it into the gutter, so like
Speaker 1: the thing, I'm always having to remember just that right
Speaker 1: straight release. But even then, I just don't give a
Speaker 1: funk after a while, and I'm just being like, let
Speaker 1: me see how fucking hard I can throw this ship
Speaker 1: down and see if I can get anything to happen. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And it's just like do a little granny bowl. From
Speaker 1: time to time, I like to throw it down and
Speaker 1: then turn around and not look at it and then
Speaker 1: know that it's going to be a ship. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: it just feels real nice to lean into it, embrace
Speaker 1: your failure. Maybe it's good. Just roll it, turn around
Speaker 1: like you just already knew you sucking through a strike,
Speaker 1: and do and do the who do you think you are?
Speaker 1: I am right from like the opening scene in Kingpin
Speaker 1: where Woody Harrelson is doing like a split like right
Speaker 1: before it hits the pants, and he's like, yeah, perfect, exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to see it in a bowling alley.
Speaker 1: I want to see Hubris right right, we're bowling alley
Speaker 1: like bowling birthday parties like pretty normal for everybody in
Speaker 1: like the nineties, right. I felt like that was always
Speaker 1: like a very standard type of birthday and that was
Speaker 1: probably the birthdays that caused me the most anxiety because
Speaker 1: like a kid, no, no, no, I didn't give a
Speaker 1: funk about a pool party. Have you seen Miles? Come on? Yeah,
Speaker 1: have you seen me? I had? I had a doughty
Speaker 1: body since since childhood, and I wasn't really buying into
Speaker 1: these body image ships so I was just I was like,
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm aware of Scooba mask and stay at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the pool and freak the parents out.
Speaker 1: But the at a bowling thing, because I remember just
Speaker 1: like being more competitive as a kid, and there was
Speaker 1: always like those couple of kids who are really good
Speaker 1: and then like you start being like working a fucking world.
Speaker 1: It like Brandon does always named Brandon. Did I ever
Speaker 1: tell you tell the story on here about when I
Speaker 1: got like too high and I got into this like
Speaker 1: weird mental block. I was bowling and I was really
Speaker 1: trying to do a good bowling and I just couldn't
Speaker 1: get it to even like the first set of arrows,
Speaker 1: like it would go directly into the thing. It was
Speaker 1: like I had like some alien Lynn syndrome that was
Speaker 1: just like really bad at bowling. It was a real
Speaker 1: mind fuck. Oh man, everybody were you just like after
Speaker 1: the third one, You're like, come on, like sweating, like
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. I'm like the people like
Speaker 1: I first thought I was joking and then yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was one of those the most It was the
Speaker 1: weirdest like physical kind of experience I've ever had because
Speaker 1: it was just you know, I'm not normally very good
Speaker 1: at bowling, but it's just it was just a very
Speaker 1: strange thing. It was like a Chuck knob Block moment,
Speaker 1: you know, where Mark Marquel Foults, I guess would be
Speaker 1: the more modern. Yeah, going further back, man, I just
Speaker 1: remember the first bowling party that we went to as
Speaker 1: kids that, like, I think it was everybody's first time
Speaker 1: without the bumpers, and we just all failed to begin.
Speaker 1: We were like, why the bumpers back? You're like third
Speaker 1: graders or something, just like learning about how cruel the
Speaker 1: world to actually be for the first time. Yeah, I had.
Speaker 1: I think I had the opposite of you. When I
Speaker 1: was like at the height of my like drug use
Speaker 1: in college, I had. I never had better bowling games
Speaker 1: than those times. Yeah, I mean I me too, like
Speaker 1: or when I was like drunk, Like That's why I
Speaker 1: assumed that I would have been like for most of
Speaker 1: my life, I was just better when I was drunk
Speaker 1: or smoking weed. But this time was just like I couldn't.
Speaker 1: It was very weird. I couldn't stay out of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would just I don't know what it was, but
Speaker 1: I think I quite literally had to go out of
Speaker 1: body chemically to be able to bowl just in a
Speaker 1: straight line. But there were some epic ones. I remember
Speaker 1: at Lucky Strike in Hollywood, I was fuck Dad and
Speaker 1: I fucking almost I like I rolled like a two
Speaker 1: fifty or some ship. Yeah, like I never even gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was yo. And like meanwhile, like I was
Speaker 1: spilling drink, saw myself and ship. But there was something
Speaker 1: about that, like the music, like you know, like rock
Speaker 1: and roll bowling type ship where like there's music to
Speaker 1: turn up to. It just helped me find another gear. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But luckily I've I've realized not as important to me,
Speaker 1: so I've managed to throttle back the drug use. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We're gonna come back talk
Speaker 1: about g Layne Maxwell and other stories. Will be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and Gallaine Maxwell's prosecution has rested. We've
Speaker 1: been checking out with this story every once in a while,
Speaker 1: but haven't been like kind of following it on a
Speaker 1: day to day basis. But Brandy, it does sound like
Speaker 1: you've been kind of tracking it. So what does this mean. Well,
Speaker 1: me and my roommate we every night. So there's a
Speaker 1: great podcast called True and Not If nobody's listening to it.
Speaker 1: If they're they're delightful, I mean member made. Every night,
Speaker 1: they've been dropping daily episodes and we turn on our
Speaker 1: fake fire and we just sit and listen to the
Speaker 1: reporting from the day and then I go on a
Speaker 1: yell at Twitter about it. What feels great, So that
Speaker 1: if prosecution is arrested, which feels very fast, but you
Speaker 1: have to remember that, like the scope of the trial
Speaker 1: against Glaine is very different than what the case would
Speaker 1: be with ext Epstein. They're trying to go after her
Speaker 1: specifically for the trafficking charges and things like that, Like,
Speaker 1: so they can't really get into the full broad web
Speaker 1: because the further they get from her, the more doubt
Speaker 1: they can sow in the jury. So they're being very
Speaker 1: very focused on Like they have four victims that have
Speaker 1: have a given testimony and have all been very moving
Speaker 1: from all reports, and they've had like corroborating witnesses to
Speaker 1: all of their stories come in and basically been like,
Speaker 1: this is how we met her, this is how we
Speaker 1: interacted with her, and trying to place her in the
Speaker 1: minutia of Epstein's day to day life as much as possible,
Speaker 1: so that I think is like why it went as
Speaker 1: quickly as it as it has for the prosecution, the
Speaker 1: big witnesses they had, like to the four the four
Speaker 1: witnesses was like the four victims, and then there's been
Speaker 1: two pilots that flew the lily to express and then
Speaker 1: a lot of little people here and there as well
Speaker 1: that worked in the houses and like ex boyfriends and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But her demeanor has changed over the
Speaker 1: course of the days. The first few days she was
Speaker 1: very like looking around the trial and stuff. But I
Speaker 1: guess when the third victim especially gave her statement, and
Speaker 1: she was one of the lower class girl from Florida
Speaker 1: that really was in it for the for the money
Speaker 1: and was really manipulated a lot. I mean they all were,
Speaker 1: but she was very much like I don't have a family,
Speaker 1: three a pop, like I'm not here for a life.
Speaker 1: You know. Glen had her head down and was hiding
Speaker 1: it and stuff. So I think I'm hoping that, you know,
Speaker 1: her change of attitude means that she feels like she's
Speaker 1: she's pretty fucked. The jury has also seen a lot
Speaker 1: of things that are redacted from public or like won't
Speaker 1: be entered into the record, like publicly for people to
Speaker 1: see and that includes a lot of videos and photos
Speaker 1: and nobody really knows what's on those, so I think
Speaker 1: I'm hoping I mean, you know, probably obviously horrible ship,
Speaker 1: So hopefully like that is enough to the prosecution feels
Speaker 1: that their case has been made enough. The defense starts
Speaker 1: up I think next Thursday, and they have like a
Speaker 1: week off, and that is going to I think it
Speaker 1: very messy and very difficult to hear about because they're
Speaker 1: about to try to, you know, tear all these victims
Speaker 1: apart possible. And it's like, from listening to all the coverage,
Speaker 1: it's so interesting that the way that defense attorneys are
Speaker 1: in court where they just try to like still select
Speaker 1: shame you and all this ship. It's it's so crazy
Speaker 1: because it feels so hacked, but it still is how
Speaker 1: this ship happens, and you're like, how this is the
Speaker 1: only trick in your fucking book. Yeah. I remember, like
Speaker 1: just from the opening statement that was the part I caught,
Speaker 1: and when the defense attorney came, I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: we're going there, Like ever since the time of Adam
Speaker 1: and Eve, women have been blamed for like yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: and then like this woman was in coops with these
Speaker 1: other people. It really felt, but again, I guess that's
Speaker 1: the only thing you have if you're trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: by any means necessary, act like you didn't do some
Speaker 1: ship that you actually did for sure. Well, and it
Speaker 1: feels like Glenn is very involved in in the defense
Speaker 1: as well, like she's like writing notes to them and
Speaker 1: seems I mean, which I think is ultimately going to
Speaker 1: hopefully hurt her because she they they haven't presented a
Speaker 1: clear argument yet, like they're saying she's a victim as well,
Speaker 1: but also she she can't, she won't let herself be
Speaker 1: seen as a victim. So it's like, well, you were involved,
Speaker 1: but you weren't involved with Jeffrey was your boyfriend, but
Speaker 1: he's also a victim of her, so she's her pride
Speaker 1: is getting in the way of all of this, right,
Speaker 1: And then there's also yeah, it's like she was involved,
Speaker 1: but if she was, these people are in it for
Speaker 1: the money and like they actually she's a feminist and
Speaker 1: she deserves your sympathy. Like it's it's like a bunch
Speaker 1: of over Like I feel like usually the prosecution will
Speaker 1: present can like present a number of different like reasons
Speaker 1: for why the person might be guilty, and the defense
Speaker 1: has to be like kind of focused, I feel like,
Speaker 1: but this time it's like the defense is like I
Speaker 1: don't know, here like five different options like maybe she
Speaker 1: barely loved him and like I don't know like that,
Speaker 1: and they're they're haters actually, so I don't know, jury
Speaker 1: like whatever you want to do with that. I think
Speaker 1: it's it's really Yeah, at which point did she shift
Speaker 1: to mean mugging the sketch artist and then battling the
Speaker 1: sketch artist for they're all like because that was the
Speaker 1: interesting thing I was kind of picking up one was
Speaker 1: that I think what was at the end of last
Speaker 1: week she had very much been like I am now
Speaker 1: going to sketch the sketch artist sketching me. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: read an interview with that sketch artist actually Rolling Stone
Speaker 1: because I was like, what the hell, and she said that,
Speaker 1: like Glene has like turned around and like talked to
Speaker 1: her and been like lovely weather outside a few times.
Speaker 1: Like She's like, clearly, I think she's like Glene has
Speaker 1: like got weird like love attic love bod tendencies where
Speaker 1: she's just trying to like ingratiate people around her constantly
Speaker 1: to herself because apparently she um she like hugs and
Speaker 1: like kisses her lawyers on the cheek when she sees
Speaker 1: them every day and stuff, and it's like very weird.
Speaker 1: She's just needs she physical contact is like very important
Speaker 1: her because she's a disgusting rapist. But yeah, it's it's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's her her sister and one of her brothers have
Speaker 1: been in court every day to be there watching, and
Speaker 1: she is permitted to actually talk to them before everything starts,
Speaker 1: which is something that most defendants aren't actually allowed to do.
Speaker 1: Strange already seen some benefits, huh. Yeah. One thing that
Speaker 1: did come out yesterday that was really interesting is that
Speaker 1: like there is a new flight logs of leaked out
Speaker 1: and Galaine and Jeffrey were on a flight together before
Speaker 1: her dad died, which like her dad, Glenn Maxwell's dad
Speaker 1: is a guy named Robert Maxwell. Maxwell was like a
Speaker 1: huge spy for London and like the Israeli Bizad and everything,
Speaker 1: and was like some very suspiciously murdered on his boat
Speaker 1: and before he was like throwing off his boat and murdered.
Speaker 1: There's like there's never been a connection with Jeffrey and
Speaker 1: Galaine beforehand, but the shows their relationship goes back even
Speaker 1: before that happened. And like a big thing that Robert
Speaker 1: Maxwell did is he kind of like moved a lot
Speaker 1: of money around and made it disappear for a lot
Speaker 1: of rich people, which is also something that Jeffrey Epstein did.
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that that her dad might be how
Speaker 1: the two of them were connected in the first place,
Speaker 1: and that that line has never been drawn really before. Right,
Speaker 1: A lot of people suspect that Epstein was, you know,
Speaker 1: a CIA operative or at least like used by the CIA,
Speaker 1: worked with the CIA, So it makes sense that like
Speaker 1: they're all moving in the same circles, manipulating very powerful
Speaker 1: people helping them out. Yeah, it's fucking disgusting, but hopefully,
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't seem like she could have come
Speaker 1: off much worse just based on the descriptions and in
Speaker 1: court behavior. I don't think so. And I mean, the
Speaker 1: only thing that they're nervous, that's like they clearly like
Speaker 1: they've been putting together a case for Jeffrey Epstein forever
Speaker 1: and then they obviously he was he was murdered, uh,
Speaker 1: and they're using the bones of that and they're putting
Speaker 1: glen in and then changing it as needed. So I
Speaker 1: I think that they're really kind of hitting her from
Speaker 1: as many sides as possible, but clearly, I mean, the
Speaker 1: whole thing just makes it such it's so frustrating that
Speaker 1: he's not on trial because there's so many other things
Speaker 1: you could be talking about that would actually like help
Speaker 1: her if to talk about, but actually like should be
Speaker 1: you know, made entered into the public record in a
Speaker 1: very official way through his trial. All right, well, thank
Speaker 1: you for that update, and thank you for you know,
Speaker 1: doing the sin eating for us of paying attention to
Speaker 1: that fucking trial. Don't worry, I have a pillow on
Speaker 1: my couch. I've just been like ringing and screaming every day.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Kamala Harris. Politico has a
Speaker 1: guess this is like a hit piece or something. You know,
Speaker 1: they got her ass, Politico doing the fucking lord's work
Speaker 1: of meaningless nonsense journalism. I just want to read this
Speaker 1: headline of this article that's that came out earlier this week.
Speaker 1: It said, Kamala Harris is bluetooth phobic. Um, what what
Speaker 1: does that even mean? Like she discriminates against bluetooth users.
Speaker 1: She has an exclusive somebody with a bluetooth, right, does
Speaker 1: she have like an exclusive beats by dre deal that
Speaker 1: doesn't allow her to use non wired headphones? Like? What
Speaker 1: is happening exactly? And this is what they say. Quote,
Speaker 1: While a growing number of consumers are going wireless, the
Speaker 1: vice president is sticking with the classics. She has long
Speaker 1: felt that bluetooth headphones are security risk. As a result,
Speaker 1: Harris insists on using wired headphones. Three former campaign aids
Speaker 1: told West Wing Playbook, Okay is that not care? I
Speaker 1: mean like, wow, well, let's go on, let me let
Speaker 1: me They go, okay, that okay, political thinking? All right?
Speaker 1: That wasn't enough for you. Allow us to maybe expand
Speaker 1: on this. Former aids say that the vice president has
Speaker 1: long been careful about security and technology, with some describing
Speaker 1: it as prudent and others suggesting it is a bit paranoid.
Speaker 1: It's a recurring theme. And they talked about how when
Speaker 1: she was oh this is another one, and another former
Speaker 1: aid when she was Attorney general in California, said that
Speaker 1: when a person arrived for a meeting, staff were instructed
Speaker 1: not to allow them to wait in Harris's office alone.
Speaker 1: What the fund is This article she's the new Richard Nixon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest Kamala Harris fan as most listeners
Speaker 1: of this show. No, but like, what the funk is
Speaker 1: this exactly? What is the point? I'm really curious what
Speaker 1: the fucking quote unquote journalists who did this? What what
Speaker 1: was this piece adding? What did we need to know
Speaker 1: about this? Because as they made they like did a
Speaker 1: collage of all these photos of her wearing like wired
Speaker 1: Apple headphones, and they're like, look at her, dude, Like
Speaker 1: she got these like wired headphones on. And I think
Speaker 1: part of it is probably some anti black woman bias
Speaker 1: and they're just finding some ship to just be like,
Speaker 1: fucking man, she doesn't she hates bluetooth. I guess that's
Speaker 1: something we can say to try and make her look
Speaker 1: different from the mainstream. But I'm not even like, I
Speaker 1: don't even This is just so weird because if that's
Speaker 1: who gives a ship about what her like her priorities
Speaker 1: are around like ops sack, like operational security. If she
Speaker 1: if she thinks bluetooth she's not comfortable with, Like, who
Speaker 1: gives a fuck? Like I just helped me. Somebody also understanding. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're using quotes from like former aids and like staffers,
Speaker 1: what like just to ask, like a security expert, is
Speaker 1: this like over over the type not? They don't because
Speaker 1: it is. You can you can act like, yeah, anyone
Speaker 1: has anyone met like an older person or like even
Speaker 1: an older person of color. Yeah, people, you know, I
Speaker 1: have aunts and uncles who have thoughts around opts, their
Speaker 1: own operations and security. I don't use that. I don't
Speaker 1: like I don't like that in my car. I can't
Speaker 1: use that physical key on that because you don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Like I, this seems very normal
Speaker 1: to me. But again this is just like part of
Speaker 1: I don't know, clickbait failure. Over at Politico, I feel
Speaker 1: like after a former Secretary Terry of States private email
Speaker 1: server was hacked at a basement, maybe we should be
Speaker 1: a little bit more paranoid than not, Like maybe maybe
Speaker 1: it's okay to use headphones, it's fine. Also, it's like this,
Speaker 1: this feels like it's either stupid or it's like weirdly
Speaker 1: nefarious because it gets to paint her because everyone knows
Speaker 1: that this is stupid. So it's also like, oh, we're
Speaker 1: attacking her unfairly for no reason, and if we're attacking
Speaker 1: her unfairly for this, that maybe real things that she
Speaker 1: is being fairly attacked for, we're also attacking her unfairly for,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So it gives her weird
Speaker 1: cover for like, oh, everyone's just being you know, sexist
Speaker 1: and racists we're seeing and they did it for the
Speaker 1: bluetooth stuff that they're also doing it for you know, X,
Speaker 1: Y and Z or like immigration stuff whatever exactly. So
Speaker 1: it's like it there's it's yeah, there's it's it's lose
Speaker 1: lose all around. It's like it's almost like clickbait journalism
Speaker 1: is destroying everything. Yeah. Well, meanwhile, like we're looking at
Speaker 1: you know, just the most some of them, like you
Speaker 1: know not some like the most aggressive moves towards voter
Speaker 1: suppression we've seen in our lived memory, and meanwhile, we're
Speaker 1: devoting inches and coverage to like this bluetooth thing because
Speaker 1: I mean, this is something we've talked about or just
Speaker 1: mentioned touched on too. Is this that this is just
Speaker 1: all like the media is huge hand in allowing all
Speaker 1: of this ship to just crumble by the wayside, because
Speaker 1: that has an inability to actually say, like, hey man,
Speaker 1: the country is really fucked up right now, and like
Speaker 1: ship's gonna get fucking terrible if we don't get ahold
Speaker 1: of like just just the most basic voting rights to
Speaker 1: start off with, but instead we're talking about fucking you know,
Speaker 1: why did you have air pods? Yeah? And I think
Speaker 1: people like see this and it tunes and it's frustrating
Speaker 1: because it tunes people out from like paying attention to
Speaker 1: the news more and more because you're like, I'm not
Speaker 1: even seeing anything real and this is what it is.
Speaker 1: It's like I saw there's this morning that I mean,
Speaker 1: it's unreally did this specifically, but I saw this morning
Speaker 1: that it was like a visor CEO was like, I
Speaker 1: think we're going to need the fourth shot even faster
Speaker 1: than the third one. And I was like, can we
Speaker 1: just like not talk to these people? Could you just
Speaker 1: shut the Like I just I hate the news And
Speaker 1: it's so frustrating because it also gives like people that
Speaker 1: say all news is fake news like even more and more. Amos.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, yeah, I also I get where you're
Speaker 1: coming from with half of this ship, because this is
Speaker 1: this is a bullshit story. Get out of way. All
Speaker 1: news is fucking coward news. But no one wants to
Speaker 1: fucking say the thing past don't go. Rather than saying like,
Speaker 1: I don't know this fucking pharma, Griff says we should
Speaker 1: give them more money. Yeah, like that's that's just treat
Speaker 1: that quote like that. Yeah, exactly, have a more holistic
Speaker 1: you know, reporting around saying things like this is how
Speaker 1: much uh Viser and Maderna have made, this is how
Speaker 1: much Viser stands to make from their therapeutics that they're developing.
Speaker 1: There's so many other things that you can be, like
Speaker 1: telling people real things while also giving them an actual
Speaker 1: accounting of what the stakes are, what the dynamics are
Speaker 1: around the story, because all they do is just give
Speaker 1: you this ship in a vacuum, no context, and if
Speaker 1: you're not paying attention, you're gonna think nothing's wrong, nothing's
Speaker 1: you know, gonna ry at all. Yeah. The worst thing
Speaker 1: is that Kamala doesn't use headphones. That are you know,
Speaker 1: bluetooth that are the worst thing. Yeah. The worst thing
Speaker 1: is there are people dying for their first shot of
Speaker 1: a vaccine. But we've we've entrusted this with just greedy
Speaker 1: fucking goblins and just only focusing like, well, yeah, in America,
Speaker 1: maybe you should get that third or like I think
Speaker 1: there's I truly think there's a direct line between like
Speaker 1: ship like this and the vaccine, and like vaccine hasitency
Speaker 1: because like the mainstream media is fully bought into like
Speaker 1: the whole like corporate neoliberal like ideal that is killing people,
Speaker 1: that like is making people, like making us the loneliest
Speaker 1: we've ever been. Like it that has completely taken over
Speaker 1: how we communicate with one another and like turned it
Speaker 1: into you know, the most basic part of being a
Speaker 1: human being is like interacting with other human beings, and
Speaker 1: we've turned that into like a algorithmically like monitored and
Speaker 1: monetized and like manipulated thing like so that people are
Speaker 1: going to react negatively to that, and the mainstream media
Speaker 1: just has a complete like inability to cope with that.
Speaker 1: And there is already a reactionary kind of option on
Speaker 1: the right. And so that's why like things are moving
Speaker 1: so fucking out of control in that direction, and like
Speaker 1: the left hasn't really figured out it's alternative strategy, right, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's why you need more independent
Speaker 1: media and also just like for people to demand that
Speaker 1: these people actually say something that is counter to what
Speaker 1: their corporate benefactors dictate to them like it's that you
Speaker 1: can't It's like because you you already know, like we
Speaker 1: already know that if on MSNBC they said, we need
Speaker 1: to actually be breaking down how much money is being
Speaker 1: made and like also put people in the front of
Speaker 1: their mind because the most important thing about getting through
Speaker 1: this pandemic globally just to have as many people inoculated
Speaker 1: as possible. But if we're not hammering home that that's
Speaker 1: a problem and that there's also there's corporate greed national
Speaker 1: there's like this weird nationalistic fucking greed that's happening with
Speaker 1: who's being shared with what if that's being talked about?
Speaker 1: There's no context and yeah, it's just why why fucking
Speaker 1: pay attention because it's just gonna sound like a bunch
Speaker 1: of you know, chaos constantly. Yeah, yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that at the end of the day, like
Speaker 1: I think you'd hope that more and more people rather
Speaker 1: than being like, man, the fucking news is fake. It's
Speaker 1: not that it's fake, it's that it's being presented to
Speaker 1: you by people who don't even live on the same
Speaker 1: fucking planet as you. You know what, I mean, like
Speaker 1: we're getting the weather on Mars and being told that
Speaker 1: that's the that's the temperature on Earth. But no, these
Speaker 1: people live in a completely different reality, completely divorced from
Speaker 1: the existential threats that most working people or marginalized people face.
Speaker 1: So to expect them to actually come with a real,
Speaker 1: you know, proper accounting of what's happening, I think it's
Speaker 1: an impossible task at this point. And that's you know,
Speaker 1: we just see that over and over. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: like that's that's also how you see like a story
Speaker 1: like this come out. Because I can guarantee you this
Speaker 1: story happened because like a bunch of people who are
Speaker 1: like that drinks after the office in DC with a
Speaker 1: few reporters and they were like, you know, I've heard
Speaker 1: about Kamala. She doesn't do this headphone thing. And then
Speaker 1: because they're all boring and stupid, they all talk about
Speaker 1: it because they got nothing real in their lives, and
Speaker 1: that that's all becomes a story. They're like, oh, you
Speaker 1: don't google it. Okay, remember when she says we did
Speaker 1: it Joe wired headphones. Okay, when she did this thing
Speaker 1: wired headphones, You're like, oh, ship, he's right, Yeah, fucking
Speaker 1: always wired headphones. Yeah, you could feel the wine glass
Speaker 1: in their hand as they're like, oh, interesting, little discovered.
Speaker 1: Did you guys read the Jeremy Strong profile in the
Speaker 1: New Yorker that everybody was like, this guy is absurd? No,
Speaker 1: I haven't read it yet. It's so he is like
Speaker 1: a lot, but it gave me this like very strong
Speaker 1: feeling that this one also gives me that it's like
Speaker 1: journalism as cool kids making fun of like a dork.
Speaker 1: Like where like the writer the New Yorker profile like, first,
Speaker 1: disclose your Jeremy Strong that plays Kendall Royal. Yeah, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: that should be disclosed, not expecting everyone to be like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Jeremy Strong. Yeah, so kinda like the pieces
Speaker 1: like he takes himself very seriously as an actor, doesn't
Speaker 1: realize the show Succession is a comedy, is like what
Speaker 1: you mean, like in the sense that check offs a comedy,
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, in the sense that is like funny,
Speaker 1: But it's just like a lot of like quotes from
Speaker 1: the people who work with him that are like, this
Speaker 1: guy is real, real annoying, but it's also like written
Speaker 1: by somebody who went to Yale with him, So like
Speaker 1: it's like probably someone who's just like this guy fucking
Speaker 1: he's lame. Let's write. It's just I don't think for me,
Speaker 1: another guy went to Yale. Right, Yeah, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to hate, but you know the piece, it's like I
Speaker 1: don't give a funk about this, Like what, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's entertaining, like how seriously he takes him off. But
Speaker 1: I also feel like I don't know. This idea of
Speaker 1: like the media as just the cool kids making fun
Speaker 1: of and the cool kids in the sense of they're
Speaker 1: not actually cool, but like they're the popular kids making
Speaker 1: fun of sucking people who are dorks just feels again
Speaker 1: like could we possibly make the mainstream media more hate
Speaker 1: hate herble. I think they've every time I think that
Speaker 1: they've like cracked the ceiling, I'm like, oh no, there's
Speaker 1: a whole another floor. I didn't even realize it. Very darling,
Speaker 1: ahold my wine glass. Yeah, And it's just to like
Speaker 1: Phil Pages and ship, because it's also like we love
Speaker 1: Daniel day Lewis for that ship the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, d d l like became Abraham Lincoln cool,
Speaker 1: but he's like a poser. He wants to be Daniel
Speaker 1: day Lewis. Like that's legitimately, he like idolized Daniel day
Speaker 1: Lewis and like follows him around and like apprentices under him.
Speaker 1: But it's just like Jeremy Strong does that's in there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like from the time he was like in high school,
Speaker 1: he's been obsessed with Daniel day Lewis and Dustin Hoffman
Speaker 1: and like all the you know, if anything, it just
Speaker 1: sounds like this article just says, bro, no better person
Speaker 1: could blake Kendall Roy than Jeremy Strong. That's right, And
Speaker 1: that is the argument. They're like right, like more than anything,
Speaker 1: this man is lifting it good or bad. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the whole damn point. And how dare somebody actually
Speaker 1: like really work hard and not put everything they have
Speaker 1: into their dream? You know what? A loser and that
Speaker 1: just succeeded it. I just couldn't like this is like
Speaker 1: one yell guy making fun of another yell guy. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh that I wouldn't like this writer either. If I
Speaker 1: probably showed up with the same cable net sweater to
Speaker 1: a party one time and held it against him forever
Speaker 1: because he looked better in it, I should have been.
Speaker 1: I should have been doing push ups this week exactly
Speaker 1: if Crew hadn't been canceled on Wednesday, my arms will
Speaker 1: be looking great. Yeah yeah, Instead I look dowey. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break, will be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're back. And I think that the story that everybody
Speaker 1: is kind of monitoring around the clock right now is
Speaker 1: the fallout from Christmas tree Gate. I don't know what
Speaker 1: what to call how to turn the fact that somebody
Speaker 1: lit the Fox News Christmas tree on fire and do
Speaker 1: a gate thing, but that they certainly are doing their best. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know, of course, any any perceived attack on
Speaker 1: Fox News, it can be completely blown apart into the
Speaker 1: new nine eleven. And I think most people don't need
Speaker 1: to think too hard as to why someone would want
Speaker 1: to shoot on Fox's Christmas tree. And again knowing that
Speaker 1: this person just like just a straight up arsonists really
Speaker 1: not even like he's like, oh that was the Fox trees.
Speaker 1: I honestly I just get off on setting ship on fire,
Speaker 1: to be honest, that was just kind of bonus, so,
Speaker 1: you know, but again Fox immediately made it about not
Speaker 1: just some random person who is an arson is setting
Speaker 1: fire to their treat that this was an attack on America,
Speaker 1: and you can tell that all this liberal stuff that's
Speaker 1: happening is leading to this. So first let us let
Speaker 1: us pray at the at the altar of Fox and Friends,
Speaker 1: because the morning it happened, they truly were just just
Speaker 1: listen to they're like sort of their description of what
Speaker 1: this tree actually stands for. But think about who earlier
Speaker 1: point who sets a Christmas tree on wark. It's a
Speaker 1: tree that unites us, that brings us together. It's about
Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit. It is about the holiday season. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's about Jesus, It's about Hanukkah. It is about everything
Speaker 1: that we stand for as a country. Freedom and being
Speaker 1: able to to worship the way that you want to worship.
Speaker 1: It makes me so mad, well, it does. But it
Speaker 1: goes to a larger issue of safety. And we have
Speaker 1: been talking for a very long time. This city has
Speaker 1: gone south when it comes to safety. We don't feel
Speaker 1: safe when we come to work in the morning, we
Speaker 1: don't safe feel safe when we go home at night.
Speaker 1: And not maybe not the things you're saying on TV
Speaker 1: or might have more to do with y'all than are
Speaker 1: you gonna tell me they're not getting picked up and
Speaker 1: dropped dropped off in a black car service. But they
Speaker 1: that doesn't change how unsafe they feel exactly, or or
Speaker 1: their drivers. A cop who was you know, kicked off
Speaker 1: the force for like using excessive force or something like that.
Speaker 1: That's my driver, and I still feel unsafe. This guy
Speaker 1: has a history of brutalizing poor people, and I'm still
Speaker 1: feel unsafe in this town. Again, I just want to
Speaker 1: say shout out to all the Jewish people. You know,
Speaker 1: Hanaka just wrapped up recently, and shout out to all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was fun putting away your Hanuka tree
Speaker 1: for next year's Hanukkah, because that's what this tree, I mean,
Speaker 1: what a stretch. But like like just as Hanka is
Speaker 1: gonna wrap up there, someone's gonna light the Fox News
Speaker 1: Christmas Tree, the number one emblem of Hanukkah on fire.
Speaker 1: Maybe they thought it was the last candle. Maybe they
Speaker 1: thought the tree was the last candle in their manora.
Speaker 1: That's that's fair, that's fair. I mean again, as we
Speaker 1: all know, that's the tree is about the season. It's
Speaker 1: about Jesus, which again means that inherently means it's about
Speaker 1: hanukkah okay, because because Jesus was Jewish. Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: use that logic there for this Fox and Fronts piece.
Speaker 1: But also, like the coverage didn't obviously this was like
Speaker 1: around the clock outrage machine on Wednesday and Thursday. So
Speaker 1: later on in the day they had this other guy
Speaker 1: come on who was like, because their whole thing is
Speaker 1: I think they're like, we really need to be setting
Speaker 1: the table with the viewers, like this tree is fucking
Speaker 1: important and we it can't just be that some fucking
Speaker 1: guy burned it down. So I just want to hear
Speaker 1: another man, Lawrence Jones, an unfortunate black man who's on
Speaker 1: Fox News letting people know also what he thinks, what
Speaker 1: this tree fucking means. You know, to everybody, this tree,
Speaker 1: this was America's tree. Um, A lot of our audience
Speaker 1: come across from all across the country and even in
Speaker 1: our international audience to come see that tree. It was
Speaker 1: a moment of unity. And look, this appears to be
Speaker 1: a guy that was a repeat offender, they had a
Speaker 1: criminal record, and a guy that just wanted to set
Speaker 1: something on fire. So although he wasn't specifically targeting Fox News,
Speaker 1: he was targeting the country. Wow, stretch it out, Larry,
Speaker 1: stretch it out. Baby, did you feel the wheel and
Speaker 1: the panic of letting a fact come through? And it
Speaker 1: was like no, no, no no, no, pull it back in,
Speaker 1: like they tried to stop him. They were like no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, we have to say it was an
Speaker 1: attack against us, right, although it was against Fox News,
Speaker 1: it wasn't specifically to do with anything. It was attacking
Speaker 1: the country. Yeah, yeah, not on eleven of Christmas. Christmas.
Speaker 1: And then you know, the whole time, they're like, we
Speaker 1: gotta rebuild it. You know, they're saying, it's like we
Speaker 1: gotta build it back even bigger and better, like just
Speaker 1: say the fucking twin towers. But again, they're doing their
Speaker 1: darndest to make this a thing. And throughout the day
Speaker 1: you've heard things like about bail, like this has something
Speaker 1: to do with bail reform and all kinds of other ships.
Speaker 1: Someone someone fucking connected it to Wauka Shaw and the
Speaker 1: guy who was let out on bail and being like
Speaker 1: it's like a very similar thing that we have here.
Speaker 1: We're letting people out and we don't know what's gonna happen,
Speaker 1: and using this Christmas tree to to go even harder
Speaker 1: on it. Did they do so? I'm assuming they just
Speaker 1: then transitioned into a long story about the need for
Speaker 1: better funding for mental health resources in New York City
Speaker 1: and m yeah, yeah, no, uh no exactly. That later
Speaker 1: in the day means the fucking creeps come on, as
Speaker 1: in Tucker and Sean Hannity in them, and they had
Speaker 1: they said, Okay, y'all get it. That tree is important.
Speaker 1: Now allow us to introduce some new ideas. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: this isn't just any kind of attack. Here's fucker Farrels,
Speaker 1: Carlson or whatever. You wanna blow it out even further.
Speaker 1: Torturing Christmas trees is an attack on Christianity, obviously, it's
Speaker 1: an assault on religious observance. By current standards, destroying someone's
Speaker 1: religious symbol would be called a hate crime. That's a
Speaker 1: category much beloved and meticulously chronicled by the Biden Justice Department.
Speaker 1: The DMJ can tell you precisely how many Korans were
Speaker 1: burned last year in the United States, But they don't
Speaker 1: keep track of Christmas trees. Why is that? Because the
Speaker 1: Christmas tree is on the fucking Bible, you fucking stood try,
Speaker 1: it's not a religious text. It's a fucking tree. Well,
Speaker 1: so I think the only other Christmas trees I've ever
Speaker 1: seen burned have been in like idiots homes on episodes
Speaker 1: of her Daylessness. Yeah, like or like It's like a shitty,
Speaker 1: shitty prank you'd see on college campuses, as you burn
Speaker 1: out a car by putting a dead Christmas tree underneath
Speaker 1: and lighting on a fire. Look, I've been at a
Speaker 1: few sports riots that happens. But that's where I see now.
Speaker 1: To say that this is a symbol of religion, we've
Speaker 1: already they just just that earlier in the day. They
Speaker 1: said it was had to do with a Hanukah. So
Speaker 1: is it Christianity or is it Judaism? Is it Ucci
Speaker 1: Wally or is it one? Mike Tucker Carlson also is
Speaker 1: also mentioned that it wasn't somebody targeting anything other than
Speaker 1: a big thing that would go up in flames, really saying,
Speaker 1: I I what do you guys think you over on? Honestly,
Speaker 1: I have I have an idea if anyone lives in
Speaker 1: New York, I live too far away. I can't do this.
Speaker 1: What you should do go down to the fox tree
Speaker 1: and make like one of those you know, like a
Speaker 1: thin blue line flag. But put Christmas trees across the line.
Speaker 1: You're gonna make so much money just selling it to
Speaker 1: those idiots. Like that'll be like the It'll be just
Speaker 1: like after like the Twin Towers stuff after nine eleven,
Speaker 1: where people are just hocking shit on the corner. Go
Speaker 1: be that person. Go make that money and then donate
Speaker 1: it to something that Fox News would hate. Yeah, thin
Speaker 1: tree line posters flaxing need the thin tree line. Yeah, sadly.
Speaker 1: So just to touch in really quickly, just on Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity there, he didn't really say much. I just like
Speaker 1: whenever we hear Janine Pierrot might be drinking on the
Speaker 1: job and doesn't know if she's talking to Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: or Haraldo. In this case, she's on Sean Hannity's show,
Speaker 1: but and Haraldo is like, on the dais there or
Speaker 1: that panel? But Sean Hannity is clearly throwing to her.
Speaker 1: You know, Haraldo, what is amazing about all this is
Speaker 1: that you start your show every night with hostages in
Speaker 1: a foreign country. Well I'm here now, hostage, he said.
Speaker 1: But it's yeah, yeah, yeah, Sean, that that we have. Sure.
Speaker 1: She looks so confused when he told her it was
Speaker 1: none of that's not Heraldo, what was the connection to
Speaker 1: she she was gonna say that this is our values
Speaker 1: being held hostage. Probably that American culture, Yeah, is the
Speaker 1: hostage now. And you can't even you can't even have
Speaker 1: a fucking Christmas tree up at your hate network. Have
Speaker 1: something happened, but not even that it had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with your network. You can't just have a tree
Speaker 1: up and some person with a history of arson shows
Speaker 1: up to do a crime that they have a you know,
Speaker 1: a bit of a bit of an eye for. And
Speaker 1: then lastly, I just want to say Fox News again
Speaker 1: this on Thursday morning, after we got that round the
Speaker 1: clock coverage, they kept the outrage up Thursday morning with
Speaker 1: Brian Kilmeade again raising the point of is this not
Speaker 1: a hate crime? And he wasn't eligible for the bail
Speaker 1: under this these new liberal reform laws. But the judge
Speaker 1: would could have found a way to keep him locked
Speaker 1: up if he felt as though he was a threat
Speaker 1: to society. Uh, note to judge, he's a at to society. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing in New York, under the new liberal
Speaker 1: policies of mail reform, our city is only a felony.
Speaker 1: You can only be held if it's a felony if
Speaker 1: the suspect tries to harm a person or commits a
Speaker 1: hate crime, and apparently lighting a Christmas tree on fire
Speaker 1: is not. People could have been injured. Yeah here, but
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Who says not a hate crime against us?
Speaker 1: Against Fox News protected? Yeah yeah wow yeah detected group
Speaker 1: that needs to be we need to watch out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who's gonna look out for that? Exactly? It's a hate crime.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the most like peak white fragility ship
Speaker 1: ever though, to be like, I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: hate crime against us. They they fucking set they took
Speaker 1: the chain off my dirt bike right sniping the gas
Speaker 1: out and they just took my gas care this is
Speaker 1: a hate crime against me. Oh my god. They're so
Speaker 1: desperate for any Christian persecution to make Christianity like get
Speaker 1: get to cosplay as a persecuted minority like that is
Speaker 1: what that is what they like crave so much. I
Speaker 1: can see them actually claiming that the kaust yeah, or
Speaker 1: that the KKK is actually when they burned crosses that
Speaker 1: is because they're jack don't even it's too much logic,
Speaker 1: it's too much they can't put those little things together
Speaker 1: and just be like, I don't we don't know who's
Speaker 1: saying these crosses, well, they don't know who's inside the hood,
Speaker 1: Like who knows that, Like actual racist are inside of
Speaker 1: those hoods doing that? It could be thank you. Also,
Speaker 1: where's my dad? He said he had to do something tonight.
Speaker 1: Probably not him though, probably not him there, definitely not
Speaker 1: him there. But I mean this this is just sort
Speaker 1: of out of you know, I think the compartmentalization that
Speaker 1: has to happen when you are conservatives because to even
Speaker 1: linger into the dimension of reality where you may need
Speaker 1: to bring a little self awareness to what you're espousing
Speaker 1: or what your values actually mean to people that don't
Speaker 1: look like you, that's just it's a little too far. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how how soon do you think that they're going to
Speaker 1: be able to paint that? Like when Jesus came back,
Speaker 1: he came back a second time, but like as Santa Clause,
Speaker 1: like he just got old and fat and came back
Speaker 1: a second time. And then that Santa Claus is actually
Speaker 1: Jesus right? That it wasn't sure, it wasn't three days
Speaker 1: from the cross to the tomb. That is actually more
Speaker 1: like kind of like thirty years he kind of let
Speaker 1: himself go and came back. Yeah, I really feel like
Speaker 1: because they're they're they're they want to connect it because
Speaker 1: they need it. They need Christianity to get to capitalism
Speaker 1: even more directly, they can't. You know, it'll it'll happen
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. Jesus will become Santa Claus. They're right here.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're definitely try. But I think that's the
Speaker 1: hard bit is like they're using this, they're trying to
Speaker 1: like sort of air draft like slipstream behind Christianity for
Speaker 1: all of this when Christianity and just organized religion in
Speaker 1: general this country is just not a winning thing at all.
Speaker 1: So it just so it just begins to sound weaker.
Speaker 1: The arguments are like weaker and more illogical and less compelling.
Speaker 1: But again, this isn't for people who are trying, who
Speaker 1: are neutral and like people like well, let me hear
Speaker 1: what they have to say. It's just for other people
Speaker 1: to be like, well, how am I gonna yell about
Speaker 1: this later? To some coworkers who watch CNN, Yeah, do
Speaker 1: you think that they're gonna like people are gonna start
Speaker 1: showing up and like camping out with guns defending the
Speaker 1: fox tree from now until Christmas. I see, I could
Speaker 1: see that happening. Oh, there's probably like snipers already. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, freelance snipers who are just
Speaker 1: being like, yeah, I'm gonna don't I'll protect this tree.
Speaker 1: Oh they'll They'll never get this tree from my cold,
Speaker 1: dead hand, just like at hand. Yeah. Well, Brandy as
