Speaker 1: the same when they have a mustache, Like I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a problematic thing to say,
Speaker 1: but like, I don't know how anyone told anyone apart
Speaker 1: in the eight hundreds one everybody had everybody had a mustache,
Speaker 1: because I feel like you either look like Ron Jeremy,
Speaker 1: Tom Selleck or Nanni Ye like or like a picture
Speaker 1: of every person's dad from the sixties and seventies exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was your like what was your energy when you
Speaker 1: looked you? Did you did it evoke someone for you

Speaker 1: you climate change. I need to do something to my
Speaker 1: face because this is just too much because I'm also
Speaker 1: growing out my hair. So you know, I had a
Speaker 1: whole like hagrid thing going, and it just had to
Speaker 1: change from Harry Potter. Yeah yeah, his neighbor. You're a wizard, Harry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't need to be sending kids owls. Right,
Speaker 1: So I was like the beards, easiest thing to go,
Speaker 1: you know, just let me let me jump, let me
Speaker 1: jump in the bathroom real quick. And I did like
Speaker 1: the uh, the goatee mustache combo, and that was that
Speaker 1: was okay. It was like, all right, some Intego Montoya vibes,
Speaker 1: like I can, I can deal with that, but it's
Speaker 1: still too damn hot, so get rid of that. And
Speaker 1: it's like, oh okay, now like a chicken McNugget right
Speaker 1: with curly hair. So now I'm just here just like
Speaker 1: rocking all the just like I said, raw dog in
Speaker 1: the world with my bare face. And I don't like it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it looks good. You look young, which I'm
Speaker 1: sure people have told you the sah yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I mean it's pure baby face. It's like how
Speaker 1: old are you again? Right? Like alcohol, They're like, no,
Speaker 1: it's fake, man, you look too young. I don't believe
Speaker 1: this ship. Yeah, yeah, all right, Derek, we are going
Speaker 1: to get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 1: a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
Speaker 1: of things. We're talking about. Donald Trump is suing social media.
Speaker 1: Can't can't sue the clouds, just social media. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll talk about the National view making
Speaker 1: a claim that they deserve sex even though they're conservative,
Speaker 1: they're worried about that. We're gonna talk about how America
Speaker 1: actually invented the residential schools program that Canada's been getting
Speaker 1: a lot of coverage and national reckoning over public outrage.
Speaker 1: America invented that ship and had those same programs going on.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the NYPDS
Speaker 1: new program, the NYPD Game Truck Baby, get ready for
Speaker 1: oh you don't know, game truck. Yeah. Man, they've seen
Speaker 1: this succeed for many years. The here come into my
Speaker 1: shaded van with promises of things that kids like and
Speaker 1: and so they're trying their hand at that with a
Speaker 1: video game truck. They drive around and it's supposedly public outreach.
Speaker 1: People have reasons to be concerned. They're like, look, kids,
Speaker 1: we're not all bastards, are we, Because if we were,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have this sick ass two k rig in
Speaker 1: here right literally literally that's the that's the game plan.
Speaker 1: And we will talk about Shikari Richardson being just out
Speaker 1: of the Olympics, why the U s a t f
Speaker 1: is ridiculous and full of ship and why the Olympics
Speaker 1: are gonna suck this year, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, Derek, we like to ask Eric guests, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history. I've been doing like
Speaker 1: a ship ton of cooking, just like and you guys
Speaker 1: are gonna have to come over and and sample some
Speaker 1: of this delih I mean almost like you're saying cocaine
Speaker 1: ton of cocaine, you know, just all of the just
Speaker 1: tons of cooking. So like right now I'm focusing. I
Speaker 1: bought like a couple of books on like particularly like
Speaker 1: cuisine from Mexico, so you know, trying to tap back
Speaker 1: into trying to tap back into those roots. You know,
Speaker 1: made a sevich a made like a note with Chile,
Speaker 1: which is kind of the same thing but a little
Speaker 1: bit different, you know, chicken thinga like I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: and do some kind of meat us like Mitchua Con
Speaker 1: style for all the Mitchuakun. Folks who are listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast shout out and is this is this something
Speaker 1: that you're like, are you a person who's very comfortable
Speaker 1: in the kitchen? Is this is this something that comes
Speaker 1: natural to you or you am now? I mean before,
Speaker 1: I don't like it's something that developed. I think, so like,
Speaker 1: for for a long time, like almost my entire twenties,
Speaker 1: I was living with my grandparents, and my grandma did
Speaker 1: a lot of cooking, so you know, like when she
Speaker 1: died in twenty nineteen, it was kind of like a
Speaker 1: big moment of like certain things missing come like you know,
Speaker 1: family time. So like that Christmas we normally got together
Speaker 1: in November started making Tomali's. That didn't happen, you know,
Speaker 1: like major holidays. I mean obviously during the pandemic, my
Speaker 1: family was like maybe should we And I kept being like, no, guys,
Speaker 1: we should not. But you know, the desire to like
Speaker 1: get back together even for like this last Easter break,
Speaker 1: you know, was was sort of there and like just
Speaker 1: like the family staples were missing, and so I felt like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm probably the next best cook question mark, So I
Speaker 1: should like I should learn and I should like be
Speaker 1: able to I mean cook for myself. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know more than just like oh here, let me make
Speaker 1: a turkey sandwich. But like, yeah, food is love, Like
Speaker 1: that's the that I found that, Like that's the best
Speaker 1: way that I can show somebody, like, hey, I care
Speaker 1: about you when you come to my home, let me
Speaker 1: cook you a meal, you know, kick back, like let
Speaker 1: me let me be a good host. Because that's exactly
Speaker 1: like my grandparents were all about throughout all this who's
Speaker 1: cooking for you? Though? Me? You know what, I'm always cooking,
Speaker 1: and then I'm just like, damn, who's cooking from me?
Speaker 1: That's when I go to like pol brus or something.
Speaker 1: I get my chicken on because I can't stop eating that.
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, I totally understand like the familial traditions,
Speaker 1: especially like when you come from a family where food
Speaker 1: is such a big thing, like whether especially on my
Speaker 1: dad's side, my grandfather is huge into barbecue, Like he's
Speaker 1: kind a barbecue restaurant. Was that's like part of the
Speaker 1: fabric of my family. And as he was getting older,
Speaker 1: he started making less barbecue and that kind of like
Speaker 1: set off alarm bells for me. Before he passed away
Speaker 1: to like like I remember I made him make his
Speaker 1: sauce and I put it on camera because he's one
Speaker 1: of these old folks who just says like a little
Speaker 1: bit of this and some of that and this, and
Speaker 1: it tastes consistent every time. So I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 1: just need to put a camera on this entire process,
Speaker 1: so I can, you know, replicate his barbecue sauce accurately.
Speaker 1: And yeah, like there's no greater motivator than you know,
Speaker 1: Like right after my grandfather passed, we missed a few
Speaker 1: like normal times we would get together, and I had
Speaker 1: to be like, yo, we need to get to get
Speaker 1: it real quick, like we have to have a we
Speaker 1: have to get together on Sunday to do something because
Speaker 1: we can't just let this element of the family just
Speaker 1: sort of disintegrate. So yeah, yeah, it's crazy how like
Speaker 1: how grandparents tend to be the glue and a lot
Speaker 1: of family situations, you know, because they're the ones being like,
Speaker 1: all right, you need to make peace with your brother,
Speaker 1: you need to make peace with your sister. You guys
Speaker 1: need to talk this out. And then once they once
Speaker 1: they're gone, like you know, beef just sort of simmers
Speaker 1: because there's nobody there who's like old enough, you know,
Speaker 1: because I can't tell my mom or I can't tell
Speaker 1: you know, my family, Like, hey, y'all need to resolve
Speaker 1: this ship because that doesn't work because I'm the kid.
Speaker 1: They're like, shut up, you don't know anything. You know,
Speaker 1: you're thirty. You know you look well with that baby
Speaker 1: face of yours. Yeah, so yeah, it's just weird things
Speaker 1: that I've noticed. So it's it's like feeling like you
Speaker 1: were saying, just like filling in and trying to preserve
Speaker 1: those kinds of like traditions. Yeah, grandparents are it's just
Speaker 1: pure love. That's it seems like it's like the peak
Speaker 1: human relationship because it's just like pure love. Like no,
Speaker 1: they don't like have the fear and the anxiety and
Speaker 1: all all the weight that comes with like parenthood because
Speaker 1: they've just been through that ship. Or they're like oh,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh good another a second chance to do
Speaker 1: better with their kids, right the parents? Exactly? What is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Derek elon Musk Hell, yeah,
Speaker 1: that man, I get Hey, he has I get that
Speaker 1: he has, you know, tons of stands on Twitter or whatever,
Speaker 1: but like like objectively, the dude is not like a
Speaker 1: smart person and he's not a good person. Like objectively,
Speaker 1: we can just like look at like lay everything out
Speaker 1: on the table, bar any of the the excuses. Yeah
Speaker 1: well what about Yeah, but what about It's like the
Speaker 1: dude didn't invent anything. He's not Tony Stark. We can
Speaker 1: stop calling him Tony Stark because he's not. He's a
Speaker 1: dude who has been backed by blood money his entire life.
Speaker 1: We can just like own that, and if you want
Speaker 1: to stand him for that, then just say that, but
Speaker 1: you need to own it. I stand the blood money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my blood money gang. Yeah. He I think is probably
Speaker 1: if we had an official overrated as a podcast, or
Speaker 1: at least if I got to like choose it, Elon
Speaker 1: Musk would be would be mine. Just the amount of
Speaker 1: cultural just energy that goes towards just loving on whatever
Speaker 1: whatever thing he's promoting, whatever bullshit scam he's got going,
Speaker 1: whatever relationship he's in, Like it's just yeah, I mean, ultimately,
Speaker 1: like you know, Bitcoin, we we can go back and
Speaker 1: forth on it all day, like it's it's bad for
Speaker 1: the environment, and the dude is ultimately only looking for himself,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, he's gonna try and turn a profit. Doag
Speaker 1: point is what it is because of him. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: not in space. He's not going to be in space
Speaker 1: anytime soon, so you can even call yourself a billionaire.
Speaker 1: He got that contract though, you know. I mean that's
Speaker 1: remember Bezos is real tight about that because he was like, well,
Speaker 1: I should also just have one billionaire. You should share
Speaker 1: a billionaires. You know that concept. Yeah, we're great at sharing.
Speaker 1: I love that. This is the dystopia. It's it's like
Speaker 1: we still have does I mean, there's still a raging pandemic.
Speaker 1: There's still like global poverty on a on a on
Speaker 1: a level that hasn't been seen in a long time.
Speaker 1: But then for these three guys, they're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I think it's time we go to space. Yeah again,
Speaker 1: global poverty for you. Yeah, I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: seen my ship. I fucking cast out on doors right
Speaker 1: before I hit the stage on SNL. Baby, I'm all good.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a it's it is again. It's just
Speaker 1: like that deal Scott Hearing. You know White He's on
Speaker 1: the moon. Yeah, from from the sixties, basically saying we
Speaker 1: got all these problems down here, but White he's on
Speaker 1: the moon. Okay, yeah, and just the ambient like not
Speaker 1: just like covering ship for this show, but just like
Speaker 1: just ambiently like people who I encounter on a day
Speaker 1: to day basis, Like the amount of respect they put
Speaker 1: on Elon Musk's name is just well, you know, because
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, like because
Speaker 1: we don't realize that the underpinnings of our whole societies
Speaker 1: is basically surviving. It's not really that like you're living
Speaker 1: your life not in this country, it's like you have
Speaker 1: to survive because if you if the revenue thing shuts down,
Speaker 1: you're fucked. So like looking at these people who don't
Speaker 1: have the stress of survival is like they're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's the life. That's the life, without really
Speaker 1: considering everything that's tied to that, which is we're stuck
Speaker 1: in a rat race where you're not being paid what
Speaker 1: you should be and meanwhile you're like, you're you're big
Speaker 1: enough the people that are siphoning your wealth. But I've
Speaker 1: heard people quote the Elon Musk like he's a philosopher. Well,
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm gonna clarify. I only said that because
Speaker 1: I thought it was really poignant. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is underrated, Derek, I'm gonna lean I'm gonna lean
Speaker 1: hard on the dystopia thing. So like I went full
Speaker 1: like conspiracy brain. I was watching a bunch of TikTok's
Speaker 1: and you know that, like you know that one that
Speaker 1: that dude I think it is he goes by blackout.
Speaker 1: Is you know what's a conspiracy You when a thousand
Speaker 1: percent believe is true even though like you can't prove it.
Speaker 1: I think, like I was just watching all of these
Speaker 1: anti abortion laws, you know, start popping up and like
Speaker 1: judges ruling in favor. There was like a there was
Speaker 1: like some dude who raped like a twelve year old
Speaker 1: and was able to like get custody of the kid
Speaker 1: or partial custody, and it's like gross and disgusting, and
Speaker 1: obviously these laws are being put into place at the
Speaker 1: state level so they can get challenged and go to
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court with this with the conservative justices, and
Speaker 1: so it's like, well, what's the motive here, Like what
Speaker 1: is the wire? What's the end game? And it's like
Speaker 1: the middle class was been up on thirty years ago,
Speaker 1: forty years ago now and America is slowly becoming just
Speaker 1: a cheap source of labor, like all of the right
Speaker 1: to work laws that kind of under undercut the minimum wage,
Speaker 1: the stagnation and wages, while like prices, you know, just
Speaker 1: keep going through the roof, prices of of groceries, prices
Speaker 1: of you know, rent, So it's like adding to that
Speaker 1: women's or people who who can give birth, adding the
Speaker 1: weight of having to give birth and and pay for
Speaker 1: children that you can't afford to have or don't want
Speaker 1: in your life. Like that's part of it makes you
Speaker 1: like indentured, you know, to whatever job you can afford to,
Speaker 1: like like Miles was saying, just just survive, like that's
Speaker 1: that's all you get. I just got done reading Octavia
Speaker 1: Butler's Parable of the Sower, and it's scary, like how
Speaker 1: accurate she is, Like it only takes place five years
Speaker 1: from now to explace, but you can see a lot
Speaker 1: of the the sort of end stage capitalist consequences that
Speaker 1: like that are in the book that are slowly kind
Speaker 1: of like unraveling right now. And it made me go,
Speaker 1: like I need to get my passport, I need to Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Octavia Butler's writing will fucking rip and make your mind explode. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because she bases everything in reality, so or at least
Speaker 1: this series, So it's not it's not outside of it's
Speaker 1: not too outside of fiction. It feels real. And she
Speaker 1: even said herself like, oh, yeah, I just took all
Speaker 1: of the modern problems that we have with like democratic
Speaker 1: in action and push them and capitalist exploitation and kind
Speaker 1: of push them through the most logical end. So the
Speaker 1: conspiracy is that the pro life movement is secretly away
Speaker 1: for the kind of aristocracy to continue to like provide
Speaker 1: labor that they can exploit that kind Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I see, I see them. I see the former
Speaker 1: middle class of the United States being like, not to
Speaker 1: knock on develop developing nations or exploited nations, but like
Speaker 1: Malaysia or Indonesia, where like factory jobs with shitty circumstances
Speaker 1: and shitty pay is all that you can get if
Speaker 1: you're lucky, because college is unaffordable or you know, outside
Speaker 1: of your reach if you're not able to do it right.
Speaker 1: And of course, all these abortion laws apply only to
Speaker 1: the four they don't apply to the wealthy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'll always be able to pay for an abortion because
Speaker 1: they can have the means to find a way to
Speaker 1: get access, right, yeah, I mean that totally makes sense. Hey,
Speaker 1: I just thought they wanted to make sure there's not
Speaker 1: there's enough good American people out there because I see
Speaker 1: the demographic numbers changing. Man. Yeah, m all right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back, and there's a couple of headlines about Trump.
Speaker 1: One question I was actually talking to Dramas about this.
Speaker 1: Do you think that Trump headlines are overblown at this
Speaker 1: point because people made their careers off of Trump headlines
Speaker 1: from twenty and now, like they're trying to reach back
Speaker 1: and get that old hit, or do you think, like
Speaker 1: I part of me thinks that is going on, But
Speaker 1: I also recognized that he's about to be the presidential
Speaker 1: nominee for the Republican Party. Like in our two party system,
Speaker 1: he's going to be running for presidents, So like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it still seems valid to me, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, it is valid. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's it's like corporate media and the twenty four hour
Speaker 1: New cycle like contributed to all of this. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like the fact that they constantly have to have ratings,
Speaker 1: that they constantly have to to justify the money that
Speaker 1: they're receiving from advertisers. So they make everything on like
Speaker 1: there's nothing that's more important than anything else. It's all
Speaker 1: played at the same level. And if most of the
Speaker 1: most of what they're reporting is like utter bullshit like
Speaker 1: oh he misspoke or he said kofifi in a tweet,
Speaker 1: like none of that matters, tell me about policy. Tell
Speaker 1: me about like what's actually happening. I could have with Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's actually having repercussions for for people who are alive. Well,
Speaker 1: if we do that, then they'll start connecting the dots
Speaker 1: and it's better to just feed them this flavorless chum
Speaker 1: out of this bucket that looks like exciting news. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think we see it.
Speaker 1: It's if it's not Trump, they find someone else because
Speaker 1: it's you know, major lye tainted Gooch now or I'm
Speaker 1: marginally major Marjorie Taylor Green I believe is her name,
Speaker 1: uh where she just has this whole cycle of like
Speaker 1: equivocating and talking, bringing up the Nazis and things, and
Speaker 1: that's how she gets in. And I was like, I
Speaker 1: can't believe, and like they found their little outrage button
Speaker 1: to push with her, even though it really has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with anything that's actually happening. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean with Trump. Now, you know, the big headline was
Speaker 1: people from the Trump or getting you know, in real
Speaker 1: legal trouble, getting detained, arrested, real charges coming for them.
Speaker 1: Will they cooperate? We don't know. And he's you know,
Speaker 1: doing his old, same old song and dance, which is
Speaker 1: all right, let me throw a smoke bomb over here
Speaker 1: and get people to talk about this other thing. So
Speaker 1: sure enough, he's now coming out here announcing that he
Speaker 1: will now be suing basically Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, YouTube
Speaker 1: and Sundar Peach, I like everyone, like the companies and
Speaker 1: their CEOs, because if you remember, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember, he was he was going all off on
Speaker 1: social media, you know, saying all this stuff like the
Speaker 1: election was rigged. Remember, and then those people went to
Speaker 1: the Capitol to try to overturn the elections. Remember remember
Speaker 1: remember remember remember remember that because of that, right, they
Speaker 1: rightfully were like, dude, this guy's gone, even though they
Speaker 1: should have done it ages before that, they drew the line.
Speaker 1: And now he's suing them. And but don't worry. You
Speaker 1: look at those companies, it goes those are trillions of
Speaker 1: dollars worth of company right there, Like, are you what
Speaker 1: exactly is your plan? And he says it will go
Speaker 1: down as the biggest class action ever found because thousands
Speaker 1: of people want to join. Okay, and his whole idea
Speaker 1: is that if you've been canceled off of social media,
Speaker 1: that you will join this and create this formidable army
Speaker 1: of litigants. Yeah, I mean, hell yeah, dude, it's about
Speaker 1: time somebody spoke up for the former president of the
Speaker 1: United States. Yeah, that old playbook. Well, then I'm gonna
Speaker 1: sue you. It's like you're gonna sue Google and Facebook
Speaker 1: full Okay, Yeah, I'm pretty sure that that'll work. But again,
Speaker 1: I think this is just another attempt banging sort of
Speaker 1: the same culture war drum for his constitutors members and
Speaker 1: his followers to be like, look, the mainstream media cancels
Speaker 1: us because we have opinions slash, we tell lies to
Speaker 1: incite people. This is nonsense. Look how you know how
Speaker 1: oppressed we are? And I mean when you look at
Speaker 1: Don Junior's cameos recently, it's it's it's hard to think
Speaker 1: that things are going well over there. In that family.
Speaker 1: He looks to me like, I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: how else to say it. Like his teeth looked like
Speaker 1: they hurt to fit in his head. Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Like his face it's like yeah yeah, or he's or
Speaker 1: he probably says to like Kimberly Guildfer was like, it
Speaker 1: feels like my teeth are growing. Kim, oh they've hurt.
Speaker 1: Just rub some more, blow on your gums. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, I don't know that's seen. The moment that
Speaker 1: was caught on tape by him, I believe he was.
Speaker 1: He was filming it of them backstage watching the insurrection
Speaker 1: while Gloria is playing and Kim is dancing to Gloria
Speaker 1: and like they're just like out of their mind on blow.
Speaker 1: It would seem allegedly is like still so, I I
Speaker 1: don't know, I can't shake that moment. Somebody played Gloria
Speaker 1: on the radio the other day, Like I was like
Speaker 1: getting out of the car and like when I disconnected
Speaker 1: my phone, that was playing and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I I almost feel like you can't play that song anymore.
Speaker 1: After that. It's only been a few months. Imagine like
Speaker 1: you know, ten years from now. A decade or from now,
Speaker 1: just pts D flashbacks of it's like, oh god, remember
Speaker 1: that in that almost successful insurrection, if that if they
Speaker 1: had been like organized any better, like they might have
Speaker 1: gotten away with it. Yeah yeah, I mean I think
Speaker 1: again he's he needs to raise money. This will help
Speaker 1: to just like I guess that must they must see
Speaker 1: some connection between being like I'm a victim and people
Speaker 1: like here Patriot same year. Yeah, but you know it's
Speaker 1: interesting too those like since he's been banned from social media,
Speaker 1: Franklin Graham, the Preacher has become like the most active
Speaker 1: and engaged social media account in mago world. Like, so
Speaker 1: it's like watching where people are going now is also
Speaker 1: kind of interesting, but yeah, still the same. The other
Speaker 1: headline is that a new book is revealing that he
Speaker 1: told John Kelly, his chief of staff, that Hitler did
Speaker 1: a lot of good things, which shouldn't be Like we
Speaker 1: knew he kept a book of Hitler quotes on his
Speaker 1: bedside table, Like that was that was a detail in
Speaker 1: a nineties profile of him, Like he has not been
Speaker 1: trying to hide his his allegiance from day one, so
Speaker 1: not tracking. Well, let's talk about another way that the
Speaker 1: right is feeling the pressure and and reacting like babies.
Speaker 1: There's this National Review are Well, it's like an op
Speaker 1: ed that is arguing that because a new poll shows
Speaker 1: that people don't want to have sex with Trump supporters,
Speaker 1: that that is actually a civil rights issue. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: then it's kind of the article goes on and then
Speaker 1: it's sort of like you realize, oh, this is just
Speaker 1: like the hook to get you in on this other
Speaker 1: talking point. So it starts off again because it showed
Speaker 1: that people who don't support Trump are not likely to
Speaker 1: have sex with Trump supporters. Okay, and that's that just
Speaker 1: like to sort of kick the whole thing off, and
Speaker 1: he says, quote, this reveals the predilection among many young
Speaker 1: elite Americans for progressive authoritarianism, a belief system that justifies
Speaker 1: infringing rights the equal treatment or free speech in the
Speaker 1: name of emotional safety of historically marginalized race, gender, and
Speaker 1: sexuality groups. And this left modernist worldview conservatives conservatives resistance
Speaker 1: to racial, gender, and sexual progressivism mark them as moral deviance.
Speaker 1: As millennials take power, this generational earthquake is set to
Speaker 1: shake the foundations of the cultural lead to its core,
Speaker 1: leading to a pervasive discrimination against and censorship of conservative views.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, and like okay, and like so through this
Speaker 1: he points to like these different like just really about
Speaker 1: this pulse specifically, nothing really much more substantive than that.
Speaker 1: Also points about how in like Northern Ireland, some couples
Speaker 1: who are in like mixed Protestant Catholic relationships feel uncomfortable
Speaker 1: in certain places. So it's like, hey, what is your point?
Speaker 1: Then he also says says that talk brings up this
Speaker 1: other guy, Spencer Case, saying Spencer Case argues that those
Speaker 1: who politically discriminate are acting in precisely the same manner
Speaker 1: as those who justify prejudice against Muslims or Jews. It's
Speaker 1: all the same to them. Yeah, but that's so funny
Speaker 1: that they bring out the Irish thing because it's, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're trying to find an example of white people being
Speaker 1: discriminated against, and they have to go to fucking mixed
Speaker 1: Protestant Catholic relationships in Northern Ireland to like deal with it.
Speaker 1: It's like, yo, like all of these groups that you're
Speaker 1: talking about are like even better examples of discrimination. Why
Speaker 1: aren't you talking about them? Huh? Like what why doesn't
Speaker 1: discrimination against them count. Is it because their discrimination is
Speaker 1: based on them not being white? Is that disqualifying? It's
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a hard it's a hard uh
Speaker 1: you know, needle to threat in this case. But then
Speaker 1: he hard pivots to this argument essentially about how the
Speaker 1: federal government needs to intervene to protect them and how
Speaker 1: political ideology is under attack. And then so it's sort
Speaker 1: of like setting up. It's like, well, no one's gonna
Speaker 1: fun conservatives, and then look what happens to some people
Speaker 1: in Northern Ireland, all to say that the government must
Speaker 1: intervene and help to you know, stem this tide of
Speaker 1: progress because conservative people will be obliterated for being of
Speaker 1: a different time. I mean, I suggest that they just
Speaker 1: go funk themselves. I'm going to write that down. But
Speaker 1: it's weird. It's weird that like the conservative ideology like
Speaker 1: always or it's kind of centered insects and like who
Speaker 1: gets to have it and when and why? Like, you know,
Speaker 1: queer folks obviously, you gay people know you know, you
Speaker 1: trans people know, you know, and you go back in
Speaker 1: just a couple of decades and black and white people
Speaker 1: knew no, you know, interracial people now. But it's like
Speaker 1: we're we're demanding that people date us, we're demanding that
Speaker 1: people fuck us and equating it to a civil right
Speaker 1: and having the federal government intervened like that. That's I mean,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the prime example of of like white privilege.
Speaker 1: Of nobody that I know that is a reasonably socialized,
Speaker 1: aware person would even imagine to like utter those words
Speaker 1: like we should have the federal government intervened because we
Speaker 1: aren't getting late enough. But I mean, this is this
Speaker 1: is like I mean, when you look at sort of
Speaker 1: autopsies of the Trump movement, gamer Gate was like when
Speaker 1: Bannon first started being like, maybe there's something here, even
Speaker 1: before he had settled on Trump as the person to
Speaker 1: exploit it. Gamer Gate, which was like the in cells
Speaker 1: and people who hate women like young men who hate
Speaker 1: women for not having sex with them, were like an
Speaker 1: initial like sort of the seed crystal to this whole
Speaker 1: idea that Bannon then decided to use Trump to exploit.
Speaker 1: So it all it makes sense. I've just never seen
Speaker 1: them be this willing to like draw that out. This
Speaker 1: is I mean, there's a little us. There's there. There
Speaker 1: is a guy who is essentially who has argued he's
Speaker 1: like an economy US who said, like, you know, if
Speaker 1: men don't have sex, they're just going to become murderers.
Speaker 1: So we need to figure that, you know, where exactly
Speaker 1: how that happens. This is more like, again, it's not
Speaker 1: saying that because they're not working in the federal government
Speaker 1: has to protect us. They're saying, like the way this
Speaker 1: sort of arguments that is like, they're not sucking us.
Speaker 1: The colleges are full of like liberals. And if this
Speaker 1: is the case, then what does this mean for conservativism,
Speaker 1: meaning that because these universities are like bastions of of
Speaker 1: leftist thinking, that something has to be done to like
Speaker 1: rite the scales essentially and not not specifically tied to sex.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm like, well, I think
Speaker 1: y'all are doing okay considering all the factory that's going
Speaker 1: on in state houses as it relates to voting rights
Speaker 1: and things like that, I'm not I don't I don't
Speaker 1: see where conservatives are having trouble controlling things. M Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty well. The National Review is the great great
Speaker 1: arguments being made all around over there. There there was
Speaker 1: another like op ed recently in the National Review that
Speaker 1: was all about like discrimination against anti choice, like housewives,
Speaker 1: but it was like clearly written by somebody who had
Speaker 1: never met the women that she was writing a boat.
Speaker 1: She was like, just because they're ugly and not in
Speaker 1: good shape. And it's like, yo, what the this is
Speaker 1: the cruelest thing I've ever seen. I would love I
Speaker 1: would love somebody to like dig up the corpse of
Speaker 1: William F. Buckley and like sit him down, just reanimate
Speaker 1: him for fifteen minutes and like tell him, hey, so
Speaker 1: your paper, your thing, here's what they just published, and
Speaker 1: like try and explain to him that that article right exactly.
Speaker 1: And then they're just basically hold on, they're advocating for
Speaker 1: government intervention, like they want bigger government to solve this problem.
Speaker 1: Hold on, what happened here? This isn't our thinking, This
Speaker 1: isn't how we get down. Yeah, and just let him
Speaker 1: stroke out on While most people be like they reanimated
Speaker 1: a corpse. Oh my god, Oh my god, kill it,
Speaker 1: kill it all right. I wanted to talk about residential schools,
Speaker 1: and this is, you know, an ongoing story that we're
Speaker 1: gonna continue talking about on this show. But there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of coverage of the mass graves of you know,
Speaker 1: Indigenous people and children discovered on the grounds of former
Speaker 1: residential schools in Canada, and a lot of the coverage
Speaker 1: has treated it as a uniquely Canadian phenomenon. I think
Speaker 1: we even were like, God, damn, this is like evil
Speaker 1: for Canada. Well, it turns out America gave them the
Speaker 1: idea for Indian residential schools. As early as eighteen nineteen,
Speaker 1: the United States was institutionalizing indigenous genocide in the form
Speaker 1: of industrial schools and boarding programs, and then a Canadian
Speaker 1: prime minister sent a journalist down to like document it,
Speaker 1: and they basically imported it from America. They imported the
Speaker 1: idea and the ideology from America, which is not shocking.
Speaker 1: But this writer, Abigail Kirby Conklin, directly reached out and
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, you guys should know that this is
Speaker 1: America is very complexit in this. I mean, America's superpower,
Speaker 1: one of them is just to point out a problem
Speaker 1: abroad and be like, I can't believe that's happening there. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you started this ship right and just yeah and be
Speaker 1: able to put the focus on something else. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: whenever I'd read about him, like where this story is
Speaker 1: about because you know, the US has a terrible track
Speaker 1: record with indigenous genocide. So I'm curious when the media
Speaker 1: here begins to bring it up. But it takes takes
Speaker 1: a lot for you know, corporate media here to begin
Speaker 1: to talk about history or how it relates to other countries. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like if we if we just if we let
Speaker 1: it pass, nobody will know, they won't talk about it.
Speaker 1: So like the Catholic Church we know is like just
Speaker 1: a criminal institution, you know, from even when all of
Speaker 1: those like white kids were getting molested in Boston, Like
Speaker 1: there are a criminal organization that that has built an
Speaker 1: entire empire on like actual human misery and suffering. And
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't surprise me that that the pope
Speaker 1: or or many of these sort of like religious figures
Speaker 1: are like well, you know, everybody's nobody's perfect to kind
Speaker 1: of describe like murdering children and taking them from their families.
Speaker 1: And the fact that like a few of the churches
Speaker 1: have burned down, people like oh my god, oh were
Speaker 1: these churches. It's like you're lucky that all that they
Speaker 1: came for was the building when you came for their children,
Speaker 1: Like I don't we do so so much burro clutching
Speaker 1: over like the protection of children, but here are mass
Speaker 1: graves of children as kind of like yeah, well what
Speaker 1: do you expect? What do you want? It was a
Speaker 1: different time. Yeah, it's like, well, I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of the same now because we just it's it's
Speaker 1: just more technological and now it's about separating people and families,
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's the same energy, it's just manifesting
Speaker 1: in different ways. And even to your point, I mean,
Speaker 1: like there's a papal decree you know before the colonization
Speaker 1: of the America's where the pope was like, hey, Spain, Portugal,
Speaker 1: go do your fucking thing over there, enslave these people,
Speaker 1: convert them. That's your right. I'm the pope. I'm out
Speaker 1: go do it. Like that is like the all of
Speaker 1: their's they go hand in hand with each other. So
Speaker 1: I think the first episode that I that I was
Speaker 1: here with you guys on like I was talking about
Speaker 1: my indigenous ancestry and like so that in itself like
Speaker 1: sort of touches my history. I was I was reading
Speaker 1: and you know, like a lot of the documentation that
Speaker 1: we have about the Michigan Empire what people call the Aztecs,
Speaker 1: because the Aztecs were like a federation. They weren't called Aztecs.
Speaker 1: There were Michiga, and there were several different tribes and
Speaker 1: there were like a federation of communities. When when the
Speaker 1: Spanish came, like there's there's an account written by a
Speaker 1: Spaniard where it's like, well, we were welcomed into che
Speaker 1: Lan with like instnse miko because they thought we were
Speaker 1: gods and like the the ego and the arrogance on
Speaker 1: top of that, it's like they didn't think you were
Speaker 1: God's You smelled like you didn't bare filthy, were filthy,
Speaker 1: they had working sewage system. They were essentially spraying you
Speaker 1: with axe body spray on pond entry and you didn't
Speaker 1: get the hint. They perfume us like we are there,
Speaker 1: like we are stinky pieces of colonizer shit and so
Speaker 1: but it's like but but it's like that's the record
Speaker 1: that that persisted, that you know, because a lot of
Speaker 1: the stuff was burned, A lot of the stuff was destroyed,
Speaker 1: and a lot of indigenous history tends to be oral,
Speaker 1: or it tends to be passed down through stories, storytelling.
Speaker 1: So like the the Catholic Church giving giving Spain and
Speaker 1: giving Portugal permission to sort of like go to town,
Speaker 1: go ham On, you know my ancestors was like was
Speaker 1: part of that sort of that was part of that
Speaker 1: of that record keeping. I guess it's like, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: these these people are are savages and these people are
Speaker 1: you know, they had to they had to come up
Speaker 1: with a story to justify what they wanted to get done.
Speaker 1: And it's tragic that like that is the story that
Speaker 1: gets passed down in schools or just like the top
Speaker 1: surface level of like history. So when when we talk
Speaker 1: about indigenous people or we talk about you know, sort
Speaker 1: of the the atrocities that happened to us, like there's
Speaker 1: just that top soil level of like well, you guys
Speaker 1: weren't even really civilized anyway, and you know, well you
Speaker 1: guys were just roaming around in the way Thanksgiving like
Speaker 1: everyone filled together. So the problem is like I think
Speaker 1: we were just more lit. Yeah, it's just sort of
Speaker 1: all of these all of these like colonial sort of
Speaker 1: it's like why don't you why don't you just ask
Speaker 1: any of us like there, you know, yeah, go directly
Speaker 1: to the source. It's not like it's not like we disappeared.
Speaker 1: It's wild like that you talk about that, because I
Speaker 1: remember one of my first like history classes in college
Speaker 1: was about Iberian history. So we're talking about Spain and
Speaker 1: you know, colonization of the Americas and things like that.
Speaker 1: And I remember this is in college. This person raised
Speaker 1: their hand when we were talking about Indigenous people and
Speaker 1: they're being and then beingforced conversions and things like that.
Speaker 1: This person was so sincerely confused in this lecture class,
Speaker 1: raised their hand and out loud asked, well, didn't the
Speaker 1: Indigenous people want to be converted to Christianity? Like as
Speaker 1: if you could tell that this person's entire life was
Speaker 1: spent believing this one thing that they didn't think it
Speaker 1: was a hot take. They were sincerely confused in a
Speaker 1: class about the you know America's that then they're saying,
Speaker 1: but I thought they wanted to And you realize, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot of the ship that we have
Speaker 1: to spend our time overcoming is these lies that were told. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if that's your automatic perception of of Native people pre colonization,
Speaker 1: then nothing's a genocide, Then nothing's terrible, Then nothing, you know,
Speaker 1: a humanitarian crime. Yeah, we were doing them a favor.
Speaker 1: And the idea that all these things are lost to history,
Speaker 1: like there are entire histories that are untranslated because nobody
Speaker 1: bothered to learn the languages and read them. And it's
Speaker 1: also like this idea like that, that idea that they
Speaker 1: are less advanced, that their civilizations were less advanced. Like
Speaker 1: they they were more advanced, they were cleaner, they had
Speaker 1: sewage systems. The only reason that they died is because
Speaker 1: of like there there was a lot of obviously like
Speaker 1: military brutality, but it was they were weakened by play,
Speaker 1: Like it was just the luck of the draw of
Speaker 1: the German the germ theory that basically bucked them over.
Speaker 1: And it was like nine of the continent was depopulated.
Speaker 1: And that's the reason, not it's not that there was
Speaker 1: like better much better technology or yeah, because yeah, like
Speaker 1: it literally they like the Michigan Empire built an island.
Speaker 1: They built an island in the middle of a lake
Speaker 1: to like the epicenter of trade. Like I don't know
Speaker 1: how you get more advanced than that. Yeah, how about
Speaker 1: ship in your double loom or the or you know,
Speaker 1: the folks in like Arizona and New Mexico who like
Speaker 1: you know, built cities into the into the mountains. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's so many there's so many sites and structures
Speaker 1: and things will never know about because they were because
Speaker 1: they were dismantled, because they were destroyed, and like are
Speaker 1: the lifestyle was forevery for every Obviously I'm not going
Speaker 1: to speak for for every every injurious person or where
Speaker 1: wherever they come from, but like lifestyles were just different
Speaker 1: than you know, like these sort of permanent, massive structures
Speaker 1: to like pat yourself on the back of how awesome
Speaker 1: you are didn't exist for a lot of people. Like
Speaker 1: you know, some people were nomadic. Some people were sort
Speaker 1: of like oh we have we know, we go where
Speaker 1: we follow the food. Like like just doing any sort
Speaker 1: of actual research that like oral oral history that's been
Speaker 1: that's been written and documented by other indigenous people, like
Speaker 1: there's there's so much to learn and there's so much
Speaker 1: like when you truly understand like how fucked over we
Speaker 1: were in terms of like Jack was saying, like yes,
Speaker 1: the smallpox devastated the population, but there were also government
Speaker 1: programs both from Spain, both from Portugal and the and
Speaker 1: the United States, like the intentionally killing buffalo to starve natives,
Speaker 1: you know, being able to these residential schools literally being
Speaker 1: able to purchase Native children like for ten dollars. Like,
Speaker 1: it's multifaceted in in the way that the genocide occurred
Speaker 1: and is still going because of because of like I know,
Speaker 1: you know people in the Naba nation, like who don't
Speaker 1: have clean water, Like they don't have running water, they
Speaker 1: don't have paved roads in a lot of places, like
Speaker 1: the US government like literally like killing them out of neglect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it was sort of like, oh, you want to
Speaker 1: be your own autonomous nations, Fine, go ahead, but don't
Speaker 1: ask us for anything. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, sure, we
Speaker 1: took all of this, all of us away from me
Speaker 1: and told you we were gonna pay you for it,
Speaker 1: but we're just gonna stick you over here and let
Speaker 1: you do your own thing. Right, We'll pass. We'll get
Speaker 1: to check to you sometime. Yeah. America doesn't remember because
Speaker 1: it doesn't want to remember, because this is the DNA
Speaker 1: of America. Is that so they can Carcera had thousands
Speaker 1: of indigenous children, Like, we still have a country that
Speaker 1: is built on mass incarceration. There's imprisonment of migrants along
Speaker 1: our border with Mexico during World War Two. Like it's
Speaker 1: just repeating structures within American society that we don't want
Speaker 1: to examine and fix because that's how the society works essentially,
Speaker 1: but with specifically with indigenous people. It's really like just
Speaker 1: go fun, go look up Cohokia and the they built
Speaker 1: a striped mountain that was like made of various colors
Speaker 1: of soil and clay that they had brought from like
Speaker 1: hundreds of miles away in St. Louis that like put
Speaker 1: the Great Pyramid of Giza or the pyramids in Egypt
Speaker 1: to shame. And the reason that like you've never heard
Speaker 1: of that is because they were about to build a
Speaker 1: fucking parking lot on it when somebody realized what was happening.
Speaker 1: Cokey was like the biggest city in the world during
Speaker 1: the twelve hundreds. And America systematically and intentionally doesn't want
Speaker 1: to honor these histories because they were erased for reason.
Speaker 1: And you know that there's still a lot of America's
Speaker 1: ideals that are that are tied up in the reasons
Speaker 1: that it was erased and why you never learned how
Speaker 1: advanced indigenous civilizations were. But it's actively being ignored. It's
Speaker 1: actively being written out of the news, out of history,
Speaker 1: and people just aren't bothering to study this stuff because
Speaker 1: it kind of contradicts, you know, the central American ideal.
Speaker 1: I guess exceptionally can't be exceptional if you're mediocre in
Speaker 1: comparison the indigenous people, that you're just moved into a
Speaker 1: like apocalyptic society and like moved into people's houses like
Speaker 1: fucking Goldilocks and started like just pretended like you did
Speaker 1: all the work yourself. Yeah. Anyways, we will continue to
Speaker 1: cover that as America hopefully deals with its own history
Speaker 1: of residential schools. I mean, it's wild to think there's
Speaker 1: more of a concerted effort to not teach history at
Speaker 1: the moment, and you know, like that's picking up so
Speaker 1: much space, especially on the conservative side. Is this whole thing,
Speaker 1: you know, like when you especially what is it relates
Speaker 1: to critical race theory that's not even being taught in
Speaker 1: elementary schools, but it's there. They know that it's on
Speaker 1: the subconscious of a lot of conservatives. They know it's
Speaker 1: like they don't talk about the terrible stuff because then
Speaker 1: that that that sort of helps bolster the arguments that
Speaker 1: we are backwards and we need to change. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and let's talk about that YPD turns
Speaker 1: out there cool after all, And if they weren't, why
Speaker 1: would they have a truck with their logo next to
Speaker 1: a Captain America and freaking wolverine you guys, And that
Speaker 1: that truck is designed to draw children in where Disney? Okay,
Speaker 1: the use of this marvel I P on the truck,
Speaker 1: It's a great question. I'm gonna hit up to Disney.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let them know right now. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you are part of this, but they
Speaker 1: got your characters straight up on this thing. Yep, it's that.
Speaker 1: But it's outfitted with a switch, a PS, five xboxes
Speaker 1: and the goal is basically two. They actually haven't said
Speaker 1: what the goal is, which is a little bit suspicious.
Speaker 1: One would presume that they're going to say the goal
Speaker 1: is to just like improve community outreach, improve their image
Speaker 1: with like whatever neighborhood they happen to be driving this
Speaker 1: van too. Um. But people have pointed out that the
Speaker 1: NYPD has a long and problematic history with you know,
Speaker 1: finding ways to lift DNA from children, like what one
Speaker 1: time the NYPD bought a kid a McDonald's drink and
Speaker 1: then once they were done questioning him, lifted a lifted
Speaker 1: his straw and used it to gather DNA evidence. His
Speaker 1: DNA didn't match the crime scene that they were investigating,
Speaker 1: but they still kept it in a database without with
Speaker 1: no right, Like the family had to like petition to
Speaker 1: get it removed and didn't They didn't. They also like
Speaker 1: recently like set up bikes specifically to see who would
Speaker 1: steal them. Yeah, didn't they set up a sting operation
Speaker 1: like that. It sounds like them sounds like that failed.
Speaker 1: So let's how else? How else do we get kids?
Speaker 1: How else do we you know? Yeah, just just create
Speaker 1: opportunity for people who are doing crimes of desperation and
Speaker 1: then look like that. Yeah, one of the favorites of
Speaker 1: shaff Joe R. Pile. They kept a database containing fingerprints
Speaker 1: of thousands of children who are charged as juvenile delinquents.
Speaker 1: They keep another database of juvenile mug shots UH specifically
Speaker 1: for facial recognition, despite the fact of facial recognition tech
Speaker 1: has a higher risk of false matches. So are they
Speaker 1: saying like these trucks are like they got what are
Speaker 1: they trying to Like, they're like, oh yeah, look into
Speaker 1: the Xbox Connect camera to do this and like got
Speaker 1: your facial information. It's just people are suspicious. One New
Speaker 1: York public defender specifically said, do not get in this truck. Period.
Speaker 1: She said, as a public defender, I've represented kids as
Speaker 1: young as fifteen whose DNA was surreptitiously collected by MYPD,
Speaker 1: like for a mccanna soda or a used straw or
Speaker 1: a bag of chips. One civil rights attorney and form
Speaker 1: a public defender mentioned that using bogus community outreach programs
Speaker 1: to quote groom informants and mind children for information about
Speaker 1: their family members and neighbors is also not uncommon, and
Speaker 1: then and that if this venture was really about providing
Speaker 1: harmless activities for young people to engage in, there will
Speaker 1: be no need for police involvement. And that really that's it, right,
Speaker 1: Like why why do you need the police? Why does
Speaker 1: it need to be an official police program? If you're
Speaker 1: just trying to give them a fun thing to do, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could just pay for it and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: brought to you by the pigs, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like just do that and let people go you know,
Speaker 1: rent games or some ship. And it says a lot
Speaker 1: of too about like just the state of policing in general.
Speaker 1: Like even even assuming I'm gonna be naive as fuck
Speaker 1: and say, oh, well, maybe they're just trying to do
Speaker 1: a right, a good thing for the community. Like that,
Speaker 1: the fact that there's so much suspicion and the fact
Speaker 1: that there have been so many other incidents of them
Speaker 1: just being shady towards children and like setting up kids
Speaker 1: in this way, like you said, for informants and and
Speaker 1: and like for collecting their DNA, like that, even in
Speaker 1: the absolute best, the most positive case scenario that they
Speaker 1: were only doing it just to provide something for the kids,
Speaker 1: for the children, it still says a lot about your
Speaker 1: reputation and like how much damage you've actually done and
Speaker 1: what you need to atone for right That's also not
Speaker 1: forget about the two cops who plat out of a
Speaker 1: rape charge of a teenage girl who they picked up
Speaker 1: after a drug bust. They claimed to have had quote
Speaker 1: consensual sex with her, and that's it's legal for cops
Speaker 1: to do that, and I think in the seventeen States,
Speaker 1: in the back of a policeman and like and I
Speaker 1: think in CEOs too. Yeah, and the cops got away
Speaker 1: with not jail time. So these are just not people
Speaker 1: you want in charge of your children. No, you of anything,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it's just so transpar
Speaker 1: on its face. You're like, man, after I mean, we
Speaker 1: got we got some pr work to do. You know,
Speaker 1: Like they they know how terrible their image is because
Speaker 1: they know the bullshit that they're doing, so they have
Speaker 1: to go so hard on literally like a busted as
Speaker 1: X Men game truck to try and you know, get
Speaker 1: these kids to see a different version of reality or
Speaker 1: be like or have their first memory not be some
Speaker 1: you know, police officer telling you to hold up real quick,
Speaker 1: come over here where you're going, let me pat you down.
Speaker 1: And it's more like, hey, man, if you played the
Speaker 1: new Assassin's Creed, all right, I'm to see if the
Speaker 1: cops are cool. Now you can tell us if someone
Speaker 1: in your community is, you know, dealing drugs out of
Speaker 1: lack of opportunity, right, diameonmount to us. Finally, let's talk
Speaker 1: about Shicari Richardson, who has been basically she she won't
Speaker 1: be going to the Olympics at all. US Track and
Speaker 1: Field only had a cowardly statement to make, basically saying that,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we we feel so bad for her,
Speaker 1: but we can't do anything. Sorry. Yeah, it's sound like
Speaker 1: some like democratic mayors and governors. Yeah, we get it. Sorry,
Speaker 1: our hearts we get it. We were hurting too, but
Speaker 1: there's just there's nothing we can do. But you know
Speaker 1: what we can do. We will smoke a blunt at
Speaker 1: the opening ceremony to honor her um and that's what
Speaker 1: we will do. But it really is on this ship
Speaker 1: of like, we get it. It's so bad, and you
Speaker 1: know what we you know, we're we it's so outdated,
Speaker 1: but you know our hands are tied, you know, because
Speaker 1: we're tied to this other charter and they said quote.
Speaker 1: So while our heartfelt understanding lies with shakery, we must
Speaker 1: also maintain fairness for all of the athletes who attempted
Speaker 1: to realize their dreams by securing a place on the
Speaker 1: Olympic team. You know, we can't Black lives matter, you guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we could. We could forgive student debt, but
Speaker 1: then it's not fair to all the other people who's
Speaker 1: who had to toil through the same fucked up system.
Speaker 1: You kind of see where we're at our hands are tied.
Speaker 1: And this is like these fucking dumb guidelines, these by
Speaker 1: laws and ship again relics of failed racist policy u
Speaker 1: S drug policy was exported throughout the world, especially through
Speaker 1: like these international drug treaties we have with other countries.
Speaker 1: That creates us like global you know, understanding of like
Speaker 1: marijuana is bad and that's the environment in which the
Speaker 1: World Anti Doping Agency has to operate in. Because if
Speaker 1: all these there's all these multinational treaties about about marijuana
Speaker 1: being illegal, then how the funk are they going to
Speaker 1: go afront of foul of that? But this is wild,
Speaker 1: Like Americans are so past this idea of you know,
Speaker 1: the drugg e stone or that ruined their life to
Speaker 1: start a daily podcast or whatever, that even the Red
Speaker 1: States now are realizing what time it is and they're
Speaker 1: passing laws to legalize recreational wead and they're probably in
Speaker 1: it for the tax revenues, let's be real. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, clearly they're their calculus has changed to
Speaker 1: be like, I mean, what's what's really gonna happen. We'll
Speaker 1: just make money, that's it, right, And yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: she's twenty one, so she's got she's got a she's
Speaker 1: got a career ahead of of her. But I hope
Speaker 1: this is like the if you know, if I'm writing
Speaker 1: a script, this is like the beginning of one of
Speaker 1: the most dominant careers in track and field history, which
Speaker 1: I would love to see. But at the very least,
Speaker 1: hopefully she can be the last person who had to
Speaker 1: deal with this nonsense and discriminatory, you know, anti doping policy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's Biden said about? But oh, you know Joe, you
Speaker 1: know Joe, you know, you know how he keeps it
Speaker 1: one hundred for the for the people of color in
Speaker 1: this community. He said, the rules are the rules. That's
Speaker 1: literally what he said. Yeah, you know, yeah, exactly, buddy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's uh, you know, it's unfortunate. And you know,
Speaker 1: you look at other leagues in the US baseball, hockey,
Speaker 1: the NHL, NFL, the basketball, and like NBA, they they're
Speaker 1: coming around to realizing like, yeah, we should probably relax
Speaker 1: some of these things, like it's not like people are
Speaker 1: playing better and we're just kind of not allowing people
Speaker 1: to be human and things that are legal in the
Speaker 1: states in which they reside. Yeah, yeah, it's it's very frustrating.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because you couldn't even make they wouldn't even
Speaker 1: put it on the relay team. And but if you watch,
Speaker 1: there was a there's a segment on MSNBC this morning
Speaker 1: where they were talking about like, oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: so dated, and then they had someone come on to
Speaker 1: like basically like, but don't worry, like it's still gonna
Speaker 1: be really cool. America is gonna still be really good track.
Speaker 1: Don't worry like that's like we just did that. Let's
Speaker 1: focus on what's ahead to the games where people are
Speaker 1: displaced constantly so we can make money. Yeah yeah, Well,
